Holand, who led the TRUST ticket to a landslide victory last year, became the 98th SG president when she cap­ tured 51.4 percent of the student vote — an unusual achievement when run­ ning against four other candidates. • j ,1 . _:__ ____ • _ .1 'I'm going to m iss the idea that I h ave a goal that I'm w orkin g towards," Holand said about leaving her office. "So many people had so much faith and so much trust in me. Being able to represent the students on the cam pus w as such an honor, 1 ▼ , and it's something I wish I could con­ tinue to do." . « _ . Each year SG consistently receives its share of criticism, some years more than others. H oland and her assem bly were scrutinized for siding too strongly with adm inistrators, not making a strong stand on student issues and providing the student body with a false sense of representation. But Holand cited the year's major accomplishments as: acting as a voice for students before administrators, fostering an active group of represen­ tatives and helping to re-open the Tower observation deck. "This year our representatives have been more active in their college coun­ cils and in their colleges," Holand said. Husnain Bajwa, SG attorney gener­ al, agreed , ad d in g that H oland brought SG to a new level as far as melding student opinions with acade­ mic issues. "She w as able to create new and never-before seen relation sh ips between our colleges and students," Bajwa said. Her greatest accomplishment this year, Holand said, was her work in re­ opening the Tow’er. "I'm very proud of the Tower open­ ing, but that's not something I did alone — it was something everyone's been a part of," she said. The Tower observation deck was closed indefinitely in 1975 due to sui­ cides; students have been pushing for it to be re-opened ever since. On the behalf of several UT stu­ dents, Holand went to UT President Larry Faulkner. He drafted a proposal that was eventually approved by the UT System Board of Regents. The Tower is expected to open next fall. "I w as extrem ely p rou d of the Tower because it was something peo­ ple h ad w orked on for so lo n g ," H oland said . "It w as an am azin g achievement for the group as well." G reg H am m ond, SG g rad u ate school representative, said Holand's effort to re-open the Tower w as her crowning achievement. "That was an issue that required a lot of effort," Hammond said. "She worked very hard to do that and got it done." Eric Opiela, SG representative and SG vice president-elect, said another one of Holand's biggest accomplish­ ments at the University' was establish­ ing the Horns Recruiting Program. The p rogram , in an effort to increase diversity at the University, brin gs high school stu d en ts from areas with low representation to the University to visit die campus. "After being here for a weekend, they really turn on to going to UT and, for som e, even goin g to college," Opiela said. "It has helped those stu­ dents make the right choice, and she started all of that." Holand also spoke at high schools in Laredo and visited with high school H 0 L A N D /P a g e 2 Outgoing Student Government president Annie Holand hands over her title to new SG president Parisa Fatehi today. Holand looked back on her year as president, recapping her biggest accomplishments and largest challenges. She said her greatest achievement w as the re-opening of the Tower. Charlie Fonville/DAILY TEXAN STAFF A&M denied affiliation with South Texas Law Jennifer Valentino Daily Texan Staff Texas A&M University's efforts to obtain a law school were thwarted again last week when a judge ruled that A&M did not have the right to affiliate with South Texas College of Law. State D istrict Ju d g e Suzan n e Covington ruled that a 1998 agree­ ment tying A&M to South Texas vio­ lates Texas Education Code policy and the Texas Constitution. A&M had sign ed the affiliation agreem ent with South Texas in an effort to get a long sought-after law school for the A&M System , while South Texas had hoped to get notori­ ety from the A&M name. But some state education officials soon expressed concern about the agreem en t, say in g p ub lic m oney could easily be funneled to South Texas, which is a private institution. In response to these concerns, South T exas sued the H igher Education Coordinating Board to obtain a court order allowing the agreement. M em bers of the C o ord in atin g B oard said M on day they were pleased with the ruling. "The board was obviously happy that the court ruled in its favor," said Ray G rasshoff, public information officer for the coordinating board. But representatives from A&M and South Texas said they would appeal the ruling. "The district judge in Austin ruled that the agreement was not in accor­ dance w ith policy, but there are appeal plans," said Walter Wendler, executive assistant to the president of A&M. Sheila Hansel, a spokesperson for South Texas, said the school stands by its agreement with A&M. "We don't believe that the issues are anywhere close to being settled," she said. "We still believe strongly that what we did is legal and bind­ ing." Hansel added that while there is no law allowing such agreements, there is also no law specifically forbidding them.

UT supporters of Abu-Jamal work to stop execution Kimberly Gentile Daily Texan Staff In an attempt to save a death row inmate from execution, some UT stu­ dents will travel to Philadelphia to m arch with other protesters in a national demonstration at the end of this month. Mumia Abu-Jamal, a journalist, for­ mer Black Panther member and politi­ cal activist, was accused of murdering a Philadelphia police officer while allegedly trying to protect his younger brother from police brutality in 1981. Abu-Jamal has repeatedly expressed his innocence, claiming that another person shot the officer in the head. Pam Africa, head of International Concerned Fam ily and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a worldwide cam­ paign to set him free, said the "Millions for M um ia" m arch will m ake the Planning ahead Citywide program prepares for Y2K; emergency plan to be tested this fall Laura Offenbacher Daily Texan Staff Editor's Note: This is the second story in a five-part series on the Y2K computer bug — a glitch that may cause some computers problems when their two-digit clocks reset on Jan. 1, 2000.

M a lo n e y ad d ed th a t o n e o f H oland's weaknesses w as not spread­ ing out the workload. "I think that sometimes Annie tries to do it all herself because she's talent­ ed and confident and doesn't always d elegate to other p eo p le," M aloney said. O n e obstacle the en tire assem bly faced this year, ty p ica l o f p ast SG assem blies, was retaining representa­ tiv e s and k e ep in g m o tiv a tio n up, M aloney added. In addition, SG received a show er of criticism from 77u’ Daily Texan edi­ torial board. to b e a " T h e r e see m e d la rg e T exan /S G issu e," M aloney said. "It w asn't always clear to me w'hy there w as such an antag onism , but there must have been a lack of communica­ tion somehow. There w ere some dis­ agreem ents last year, but thev talked about them and understood them In sev eral V iew p o in ts, the Texan cited that m ost o f the w ork SG did w as tedious and had little >weeping effect on students, that SG as an entity wields little power, and that SG didn't op pose any fee increases before the legislature. "W e were seen as ineffectual snobs — less in te re ste d in s tu d e n ts and m ore interested in resu m es," Bajwa said. "A n occasion al editorial page didn't do much for us in the students' eyes." For Holand, the biggest disappoint­ ment this year was the discovery that there are certain situations in w hich student opinion doesn't affect adm in­ istrative decisions. W hen the M en's Athletics Council decided to m ove stud ent seating to the upper deck upon renovations last su m m er, H oland said sh e w o rk ed hard to regain the student seats but was unsuccessful. "It was a really hard battle to fight, because it's a touchy subject in general and esp ecially w h en very few s tu ­ d en ts cam e to the M A C m e e tin g ," Holand said. "That just made it more difficult for them to listen to us." N onetheless, O c íe la said H oland put up a gcxxl fight. "A nnie did a great job of keeping the momentum up and getting a pulse on what students are feeling on each issue," Opiela said. "She did a lot of good things with stadium seating so she could go before the administration and say, 'This is how students feel.'" Another big challenge, Holand said, w as trying to understand w hat stu­ dents need and want at such a large university. Student apathy made the job even more trying. "It's hard to say that I did anything d iffe re n t than a n y o th e r c a m p u s leader," Holand said. "B u t my posi­ tion was unique in that I represented all parts of the campus. It's something that people don't always understand — everyone's pulling m e in 20 differ­ ent directions and I have to sit back and decide what students in general want." From her experience as SG presi­ dent, Holand said she would advise incoming SG President Parisa Fatehi to remember that serving as SG presi­ dent m eans rep resentin g the en tire student body. "E ven if you don't agree w ith the majority opinion, you have to remem­ ber that you were elected to represent the students and you will have to fight fo r th in g s y o u d o n 't n e c e s s a rily believe in," she said. Holand will graduate in May with a bachelor's degree in English. She has y e t to b e g in lo o k in g for a jo b b u t w ants to work for Gov. George Bush's cam paign and eventually com e back to the University. "A n n ie h as fa r s u rp a sse d any e x p e c ta tio n s a n y o n e had o f h e r ," Bajwa said, sum m ing up her year as SG president. "Through the course of the year she became a truly exception­ al advocate for students." H e ism a n w in n e r and fam ed U T ru n n in g b a ck R icky W illiam s also praised Holand. "S h e w as really supportive of the football team and gave us a lot of luck in N ebraska," Williams said. "But it's her fault I gained 20 pounds. She gave m e too many lemon bars and brown­ ies." A&M Continued from page 1 before doesn't m ake it w ro n g ," she said. "You've got to fight to set prece­ dent." in an a r tic le Covington's ruling relied partially on th e T e x a s Constitution that prevents the state from giving tax m oney to "any indi­ vid u al, associatio n o f in d iv id u als, municipal or other corporations."

"The board denied A & M 's request last year to offer a law degree, mainly becau se there d oesn't appear to be th e n e ed fo r a n o th e r p u b lic law school in the state," G rasshoff said. "A n d no p erm ission w as g iv en to allow the agreem ent betw een A&M and South Texas." O fficials at South Texas said they would continue operating under the agreement while the case is appealed. "There is no injunction stopping us from doing anything," Hansel said. "W e 're m oving along as if nothing has happened." and h a s b een on d eath row for 16 years.

Ray Daugherty, membership direc­ to r o f the Y o u n g C o n serv ativ e s o f Texas, said they stand behind the gov­ ernment's position and there is no need to drag the case out. He added that YCT supports the death penalty. "W e support due process, but when people have had their chance, action has to be taken," Daugherty said. Supporters, however, feel that Abu- Jamal hasn't had his chance. L ily H u ghes, an activist w ith the Austin chapter of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty, said several mem­ bers will join the march to locally pub­ licize Abu-Jamal's case and the grow­ ing movement against the death penal­ ty in Texas. "W e w ant to put pressure on the g o v ern m e n t and p o lice to let them know they ca n 't execute w ithout an outcry from below ," Hughes said. "W e not only want to halt the execution but University United Methodist Church set Mumia free." D avid H ill, m em b er o f the A n ti- Racist Organizing Committee, said he will take a bus w ith 50 others from H ou ston b ecau se he fears for A bu- Jam al's life. He added that the march will be the largest in the country since the Million Man March. "I believe Mumia is innocent, and by saving his life, we can save thousands of lives o f innocent p eop le w h o are imprisoned because of their race," Hill said, n oting that the nation al event could begin a new civil-rights m ove­ ment. When Abu-Jamal was scheduled to be executed five years ago, an interna­ tional coalition on his behalf stopped it. Supporters are hoping sim ilar events around the world will affect the same results.

The private news agency Beta q u o te d N avi S ad 's m ayor, Caslav Popovic, as saying the power station at the city oil refinery had been hit. P resident C linton prom ised an "undiminished, unceasing and unre­ lenting" air cafnpaign. He said it w o uld no lo n g er be en o ugh for Milosevic to just stop the killing. He said "a Kosovo denied its freedom an d d ev o id of its peo p le is n ot w , acceptable," adding, "Our plan is to persist until we prevail." JJ* i . The 13th day of NATO airstrikes aimed to cut the Yugoslav military's lines of su p p ly and tra n sp o rt — roads, bridges, airports, fuel depots and command centers. Tens of thousands of refugees con­ tinued to pour out of Kosovo in a wave of displacem ent not seen in Europe for a half-century. The U.N. refugee agency said the number of ethnic Albanians reaching neighbor­ ing states h ad reached nearly 400,000. C onditions rem ain ed dire at a m akeshift refugee cam p at Blace, M acedonia, on the b o rd e r w ith Kosovo, where thousands were liv­ ing in shelters of plastic and blankets in a muddy, fetid no-man's land. "There are too m any people in that small concentrated area for safe­ ty and also for sanitation and health concerns," said Chris Thomas of the American Red Cross. In Brussels, Belgium, NATO Air Commodore David Wilby said the alliance would accelerate its attacks on the Serb and Yugoslav police, tanks and soldiers accused of sys­ tematically expelling ethnic Albani­ ans from Kosovo. "We will focus our attention on fielded forces in Kosovo," Wilby said. "We will disrupt Serbian mili­ tary operations on the ground." Suspects in 1988 Pan Am bombing turned over Vebi Regigoi, from Kacanik in southern Kosovo, Yugoslavia, cries after arriving at the border crossing in Morini, Albania Monday. Regigoi and his family were reportedly expelled from their homes and bussed to Albania by Serb police. ASSOCIATED PRESS Associated Press THE HAGUE, N e th e rla n d s — C learing the way for a trial after years of defiance, Libya today hand­ ed over two suspects in the 1988 bom bing of a Pan Am jet over Lockerbie, Scotland. Their arrival in the N etherlands triggered suspen­ sion of sanctions that isolated Libya from the West. The surrender of alleged former intelligence agents Abdel Basset Ali al-M egrahi and Lam en K halifa Fhimah means the two men can be tried — under a com plicated deal worked out in years of talks — in the Netherlands under Scottish law on ch arges of p la n tin g the su itcase bomb that blew up Pan Am Flight 103. The Dec. 21, 1988, bombing killed 270 people — 189 of them Americans — and prompted the United Nations to impose sanctions on Libya in 1992 and 1993. The sanctions, including bans on international air travel and sales of w eapons and oil in d u stry eq u ip ­ ment, were suspended today after U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan sent a letter to the Security Council saying the suspects had arrived in the Netherlands. "This development marks a vital step forward in what has been a long ordeal for all involved, especially for the families of the victims, who have suffered an irreparable loss," Annan said. The suspects su rren d ered after intense lobbying by South African P resid en t N elson M andela and Saudi Arabian and U.N. officials. Libya promised last month to turn over the men by Tuesday.

NEWS BRIEFS Police allowed to search passengers without a warrant B WASHINGTON — Passengers' personal belongings are fair game when police officers search a car for criminal evidence against the driver, the Suprem e Court ruled Monday. The 6-3 decision reinstated a W yom ing d ru g conviction and expanded the already considerable police pow er to stop and search vehicles without a court warrant. In a key 1996 ruling, the justices said police can stop motorists for routine traffic violations such as a faulty brake light even if the offi­ cers really want to search for ille­ gal drugs. Monday s ruling means officers who participate in such stops can search all containers in the car if som ething gives them reason to believe they will find drugs. Writing for the nation's highest court, Justice Antonin Scalia said, "Effective law enforcement would be appreciably im paired without the ability to search a passenger's personal belongings when there is reason to believe contraband or evidence of criminal wrongdoing is hidden in the car." Man pleads guilty in gay beating death ■ LARAMIE, Wyo. — One of two young men charged in the slaying of gay college stu d en t M atthew Shepard pleaded guilty M onday and was sentenced to two consecu­ tive life terms in prison. Russell H enderson, 21, a high ^school dropout and roofer, plead­ e d guilty to felony m u rd er and kidnapping, avoiding a trial and ‘the possibility of the death penalty. Authorities said Henderson and A aron M cK inney, 21, posed as homosexuals and lured the 5-foot 2-inch, 105-pound Shepard out of a bar last October, kidnapped and pistol-w hipped him and left him tied to a fence in the cold. The 21- year-old University of W yoming student died five days later at a hospital. H enderson said he drove the truck and helped tie Shepard to the fence, but he blamed McKinney for the beating. He said he tried to stop the beating, but McKinney struck him when he spoke up. H enderson then apologized to Shepard's parents, Judy and Den­ nis: "I'm very sorry for what I did and I'm ready to pay my debt for what I did." Judge Jeffrey A. D onnell d is­ missed his apology. "This court does not believe you feel any rem orse," Donnell said when he sentenced him. "The pain you have caused here, Mr. H en­ d erso n , w ill n ev er go aw ay. Never."

They are not necessarily tiróse of the University administration, tire Board of Regents or tire Texas Student Publications Boarifl of Operating Trustees. UT rankings rancor hypocritical Every' year, U.S. News & World Report releases its rankings of the best public and private universities in the nation, and every year UT administrators express outrage that biased and unsci­ entific scoring methods prevented the University from being labeled "School of the Universe." While it's true that the magazine's annual university rankings are based on subjective criteria, such whining on the part of UT officials is hypocritical. Though the University subjects students to the same pointless scoring methods daily, UT officials find means of criticizing this type of grading when applied to them. The latest insults lobbed by adminis­ trators at the survey include that it's pseudo-scientific, inaccurate and relies too heavily on numbers. The UT School of Law usually screams the loudest. "I don't complain about the process just when we're ranked down," Michael Sharlot, dean of the UT School of Law, told The Texan this year. Sharlofs state­ ment is pretty safe, because the law school almost always ranks below expectations. However, that wasn't the case in March of 1995, when the UT School of Law jumped to No. 17 from the previous year's ranking of 21. Per­ haps Sharlot has forgotten that he was singing a different tune four years ago. Rhys Southan COLUMNIST "Being 17th in the nation is not bad," Sharlot said of that year's survey rank­ ings, "but being the fourth best among the state [law schools] is terrific." Gee, w haf s so terrific about scoring highly on an invalid test that signifies nothing? If Sharlot was fundamentally opposed to the rankings, he would decry the sub­ jectivity of the test even when the law school scores well. If s obvious that he's only a situational detractor. Such hypocrisy at the law school extends to the issue of standardized testing in admissions. When Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, proposed in September that the LSAT should not be weighted as heavily in admissions because it doesn't fairly measure acade­ mic skills and may be racially biased, Sharlot countered that the LSAT is vital. "It is extremely difficult to compare one applicant against the others," Sharlot said. "The LSAT is a uniform measure of comparison for all the applicants." But only a few months later, Sharlot bla­ tantly contradicted himself by com­ plaining about the U.S. News & World Report survey "because it is simply too difficult to measure the quality of an educational experience in numbers." Schools are too complex for numbers, but humans aren't? Sharlot isn't the only administrator who has a love-hate relationship with misleading grades. Ed Sharpe, UT vice chancellor of Academic Affairs, recently said he has reservations about the methodology of the U.S. News survey. "The notion that you can rank schools one-two-three implies there are significant differences between the rankings. Higher education does not lend itself to those distinctions," Sharpe told The Texan. When administrators claim that students are their top priori­ ty, why is it fine when these "one-two- three" distinctions apply to UT stu­ dents, but not the University itself? Not surprisingly, Sharpe's attitude wasn't so harsh when tire rankings weren't disastrous. In April of 1991, when three UT graduate programs scored in the top 25, Sharpe said the improved rankings "show the breadth and strength of the academic programs at the University and show the quality of the programs." The survey is appar­ ently useful for pointing out good things, but flaws in the poll are to blame for any negative commentary. Officials are reluctant to acknowledge possible flaws in the testing applied to prospective students. Despite growing sentiment against standardized testing for universities in the form of statistical surveys, most administrators support standardized testing in admissions. Bruce Walker, UT director of admis­ sions, said the SAT provides a non­ biased reading of a studenf s education. "It's very much like a thermometer," Walker told The Texan. "You may not like the temperature, but that's not the thermometer's fault." If the University claims that this sub­ jective information is good enough to determine our fates, then if s poetic jus­ tice when outside organizations such as U.S. News criticize the University on similar arbitrary data. Now that administrators know what it's like to be judged by an aloof panel relying on questionable information, perhaps they'd like to re-think their reliance on exams, quizzes and stan­ dardized tests. Otherwise, administra­ tors, be consistent. You may not like the temperature that U.S. News & World Report gives you, but that's not the ther­ mometer's fault.

Students 21 and up should shop around for car insurance Ah, yes, the time in every young person's life that they look forward to so much — turning 21 years old. Now you can join your friends at the latest club, stop wincing every time the police raid a house party, and... shop around for lower insurance rates. According to the Office of Public Insurance Counsel, 93 percent of insurance companies will deny cover­ age based on age. Both male and female drivers under 21 years old pay through the nose to secure their space on the road. Yet once that birthday comes around, it is important to know how insurance rates are set and what steps you can take to finally lower your monthly costs and demand a fair deal. The current Texas Insurance Com­ missioner José Montemayor is respon­ sible for setting a benchmark rate for auto liability insurance. Companies Claire Morris COLUMNIST are encouraged to fall within 30 per­ cent above or below this rate. For a single male under the age of 21 with no at-fault accidents, the benchmark in Travis County is $1,031 a year. For a female, it is $783. The rates vary by county and are more of a recommen­ dation than a law, but it is extremely important to compare your company to the benchmark and to the other companies. For example, for a young man, companies charge from $941 all the way to $2,400, and the rates for a young woman can vary from $742 to $1,872. The Texas Department of Insurance Web site posts a database with rates listed by company — see if you are getting a raw deal. One of the major impediments standing in the way of drivers under 21 is the tendency to only be offered policies with county mutuals. County mutuals are unique in that they are completely exempt from regulation, and are designed for high-risk drivers. Young people, even if they have a per­ fect driving record, are often clumped in with county mutuals. Look on your car insurance policy, and see if the company is labeled a county mutual. If you believe you do not deserve to be placed in the highest risk category, call and ask your insurer why they placed you there. About one-fourth of the auto mar­ ket is currently escaping regulation, and many young drivers and minori­ ties are overly represented among county mutual policyholders. Rep. Lon Bumam is sponsoring House Bill 1092, a bill that would subject county mutuals to rate scrutyiy by TDI, tak­ ing away their exemption status. This bill would be an important step to closing a loophole currently enjoyed by companies who prey off those who can't demand lower rates. The bill is up for a hearing Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. Another bill, Sen. Frank Madia's SB 984, scheduled for a hearing Tuesday at 9 a.m., would require specific and comprehensive written explanations for why a company denies or refuses coverage to a person. The company must "refer to a specific underwriting guideline." The written explanation must state "the precise risk factor" as well as the source of information" that the company is relying on. These specific written explanations deter companies from using illegal and dis­ criminatory underwriting guidelines. Underwriting guidelines remain a point of contention between the pub­ lic and the insurance industry because they are considered a trade secret. Even though these guidelines dictate policy rates, OPIC is allowed to release limited information about gen­ eral industry trends. Credit history, your occupation or your residential stability (how long you have lived in one place) are increasingly a factor in policy refusal. Employment stability, driving experience, and marital status are losing importance. As an informed young person determined to get the best deal, you should also know that insurance com­ panies must give you certain dis­ counts. If your car is equipped with airbags or automatic seat belts, if you have an anti-theft device, if you've taken defensive driving within the last three years, and if you've taken an alcohol and drug awareness course, you are entitled to various percent­ ages of discounts. Don't wait to be asked — take a class before you call your company and volunteer this information. Unfortunately, county mutuals currently do not have to offer any of these discounts, although they would have to start if HB 1092 became law. Turning 18 gives you the right to vote. Turning 21 should give you lower insurance rates, but don't assume your insurance company will do it automatically. In order to learn more about the benchmark rate and your rights, check out the TDI Web site at www.tdi.state.tx.us, or the OPIC at www.opic.state.tx.us. Claire Morris is a government junior who will turn 21 in two weeks. FIRING UNE War games Minority rights activist Jesse Jack­ son pointed out last week that "every time we get into a conflict, people expect us to fight a Nintendo w a r ... draped with elements of infotain­ ment," What he means by that is, in this age o f high-tech weaponry and sanitized viewing, we expect our bat­ tles to be dean, quick and decisive, with little or none of the gruesome stuff. We also expect the same sort of information when to explaining the situation to us. it comes He could not have said it any bet­ ter, The United States today is engaged in two major conflicts on two opposite continents. Funny thing is, both of these engagements — the first with Iraq and now this one over Kosova — are "made for TV" wars. From the first day of the air strikes the television treatment has included all the familiar components. The 24- hour news networks hurriedly adjusted their programming accord­ ingly. These new media creations thrive on such crises and much to our disdain, the coverage has been endless. It's no coincidence that every other piece of news, including the nuclear secrets scandal, has been pushed into oblivion. Throughout the first night of the air raids the tele­ vision screen was divided between somber-voiced reporters and the now-familiar eerie green flashes of bombings as seen through a night vision lens, Although this on-site coverage has been suspended since the Serbians ejected reporters from the country, the all-news channels were not to be deterred. Even with no reporters in Serbia, coverage has continued with news updates, reports from the White House and a stream of com­ mentators — so-called "experts" and (mostly retired) military analysts, None of these people are within NATO's policy-making inner circles yet the media feels a need to bore us with their rambling analysis of possi­ ble scenarios. As in the Iraq war, these "experts" have no more knowledge than the newsreaders. Often times, they've never been to the country that they are analyzing. They are a "cottage industry" of former government or military personnel or academics which nas been instantly created to fill the need of television and radio to have articulate talking heads to fill 24 hours of babel. When these commen­ tators are finished, the networks switch to a variety of human interest interviews which usually consist of the families of U.S. military person­ nel involved in the conflict and, in the recent case, joyous Albanian Americans and grieving or angry Serbian Americans. This is the world of infotainment. It is the new war of smart bombs, computer simulated graphics and endless talking heads, What is both fascinating and disturb­ ing about this new type of war — in both Serbia and Iraq — is the fact that despite the saturation of televi­ sion and print media coverage, in the end, we know so very little about what is actually happening on the ground or how it will all end. Zafar S. Choudhury Microbiology senior Messy conflict Carl Villarreal's surreal efforts [Texan, Monday] to stridently dictate U S. policy in the Balkans confirm the old caveat: a little information is a dangerous thing. With all the sophistication of a meat cleaver, Carl asserts the U.S. bombs Serbia only to "prop up NATO or solidify its power in Europe." Carl seems ignorant of failed United Nations and European Union efforts in resolving the Koso­ vo crisis well before the American intervention. "Strengthen NATO?" My ever-prolix comrade: NATO is expanding; not shrinking! Look, the tribes of Illyria have for long been at each other's throats.The Balkan nations traditionally existed at the crossroads of great empires, world religions and local ethnicities. Blood, territory: Men always have and always will fight for these things, religion, There is plenty of accumulated a Kievance in the Balkans to sustain a ousand wars. Left to themselves, strong overarching without imperium (e.g., Macedonian, Roman, Byzantine, Gothic, Ottoman, British, German, Communist and now American/ NATO), these peo­ ple will establish their own equilibri­ um by duking it out, with the strongest ruling. The international community — not just the United States and NATO —- apparently will not abide such savagery. But what to do? America must act in a messy world of constrained options and uncertain outcomes. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Balkans. The Balkans sharpen conflicting American values and interests: America wants to help the current victims of ethnic warfare, but America does not want to pay a high cost, and thus avoids the necessary commitment. America ground to create a 'multi-ethnic wants democracy' in Yugoslavia, but avoids facing the fact that war and genocide really tend to undermine democratization. Indeed, democrati­ zation itself is part of the problem! "Rule of the people" after all requires defining who the 'people' are or are not — which, with the col­ lapse of Yugoslavian communism, offered ripe opportunities for rascals like Karadzic and Milosevic to make demagogic appeals to "their" ethnic kinsfolk. It's mess enough without Carl's decidedly radical frothing, John A. Wielmaker Graduate student in government Speedy tickets I was honored with a gift from the friendly people at Parking and Traf­ fic a few weeks ago and I began to wonder how different the rest of the University would be if it were as effi­ cient as Parking and Traffic. I realized that if all of my profes­ sors and TAs were as easy to under­ stand as my parking tickets, then I'd make an A in every class I take.... If refund checks were as much of a cer­ tainty as a ticket on my windshield 10 minutes after I park illegally, then I'd never need to click on "Where's my check" on the UT Web site. If UTPD were as quick as those guys on the mopeds, then there would never be any crime on campus what­ soever. I can't always count on UT to keep track of all my academic and financial records, but I can rest assured that the paperwork for my tickets will always be maintained. There is never a "diversity" problem with parking; everyone gets a ticket at some point. Nice thought, isn't it?

C ollier said the OEM technical sy stem sh o u ld be co m p lia n t and have its m ajo r plans complete by the end of September. The OEM coordinates contingency plans of different city departm ents to cope w ith large scale disasters that may arise, such as utility failures, w eather and ice storms. T he C ity w id e Y ear 2000 E m e rg e n c y Response Plan, a general disaster plan that covers health care problem s and food distri­ bution in the event of an emergency, will be tested this fall.

"We think at this point that major utility failures are going to be very unlikely," Col­ lier said. Collier said social unrest at the turn of the century is also a concern, especially am ong law enforcement officials. "We hear there are various groups w ith religious orientations and various things that see this as a major event in their philosophi­ cal views," Collier said. "We just worry that people are going to be disruptive." He said many city officials are increasing security as a precaution, but they do not expect problems from any specific group. C ollier said p e o p le 's percep tio n s m ay lead to panic. He noted that some people believe they need to stockpile food for the millennium; w hen they all go to the store at the same time and buy out all the food, they create unnecessary anxiety. "People are sw im m ing in a lot of inform a­ tion," Collier said. "W e're trying to prevent an overreaction to these types of things." But Becky S tew art, em ergency services director for the Capital Area Planning Coun­ cil, which oversees 911, said she doesn't think most people believe social unrest will occur. S te w a rt sa id th e p h o n e c o m p a n ie s involved with 911 service have corrected or replaced noncom pliant equipment. She said all adjustm ents should be complete by the end of August. "We do not anticipate any failures," Stew­ art said. "The 911 system should function at m idnight on the Jan. 1, 2000, just as it did the night before." Pat Looney, Austin 2000 coordinator, said the a ty — in partnership with the state and the University — has been working on a Y2K Pub­ lic Education Program to ease sodal anxieties. Looney said the city is considering many different o u tlets for public education, like producing a video for neighborhood associ­ ations and distributing handouts. She a d d e d th a t a Y2K coalitio n am ong major city businesses and local governm ent agencies to talk with citizens about their con­ cerns regarding supplies, such as food, water and money, is in the early stages of formation. City officials have discussed Y2K w ith the public through th eir Web site, hotline, let­ ters and a briefing held in January. There will two m ore Y2K briefings, Looney said. She said contingency plans should be in place by the new year. "We have the city staff read y to handle whatever comes dow n the line," Looney said. "We're comfortable with what we have but in spite of that, w e're putting a lot of effort into the unexpected." But some city officials noted they cannot predict all circumstances related to the com­ ing year. Linda Beth Brady, chief inform ation offi­ cer for the City of Austin, said factors that aren't controlled by the city could still affect residents of Austin. "This is a global problem and I have no knowledge about things that are undiscov­ ered," Brady said. "That is the w hole issue about the year 2000 — that you don 't know." The city h a sn 't encountered any serious problem s in adjustm ents for the Y2K bug, she said. "The biggest problem is finding people to do the work," Brady said. While some city officials are w orking on public safety, other agencies are aim ing for continuous service through the new year. Leslie Browder, chief financial officer for C apital M etro, sa id several d e p a rtm e n ts assessed their equipm ent and are w orking on remediation and replacement, adding that the bus system is ready for the new year. Maria Alicia Garcia, assistant director in charge of the business sup p ort services for Water and W astewater Utility, said the water service is also taking all necessary' steps. They spent about $4 million over the last two years on Y2K. "I can't guarantee, but we feel there would be no problem as long as there is electricity for us to send w ater out to everyone's hom e," Garcia said. "W e're not anticipating any prob­ lems from the testing that we have done.' But Garcia said the service is taking m ea­ sures to prepare tor the unexpected. She said m any or the w ater a n d w aste­ w ater system s can be m anually op erated . adding that they are putting together a con­ tingency plan in case of failure. "W e w o uld still advise th a t you w ould have some w ater on hand in case you have no electricity," Garcia said. She said th e w a te r service is explorin g w a y s to c o n ta c t th e p u b lic th r o u g h th e m edia and phone systems. few adjustm ents for Y2K.

He was 79. Wynn died Sunday night, his busin ess manger, D ave Bau- douin, said today. He had suffered a heart attack and a stroke in recent years, his daughter, Sherry Van Tilburg of Venice, Fla., told The Plain Dealer. There was no w as phone listing for Van Tilburg in Venice. Wynn pitched from 1939 to 1963, winning 20 gam es or more for the Cleveland Indians four times and once for the Chicago White Sox in the 1950s. He w as 23-11 in 1954, when the Indians won the Am erican League pennant with 111 wins in a 154-game season. In 1959, he won the Cy Young Award for the pennant-winning White Sox, posting a 22-10 record at age 39. Wynn was also a good hitter, with 17 career home runs and a batting average one season of .319. Reeling Wizards fire Bickerstaff ■ W ASHINGTON — Berrue Bick­ erstaff was fired as coach of the Washington Wizards Monday after the underachieving team dropped to 13-19 in the shortened season. A ssistant Jim Brovelli w as appointed interim head coach. "I felt this team wasn't moving in the direction that we anticipat­ ed," general manager Wes Unseld said. "This is one of the toughest decisions that I've had to make, but it was my feeling that a change was necessary at this time." The Wizards, who lost 90-79 to Miami on Sunday, are in fifth place in the Atlantic Division. They have one of the best back- courts in the league in Mitch Rich­ mond and Rod Strickland and a top forward in Juwan Howard. But they have been consistently hurt by the lack of a quality center. Sunday's defeat was the second straight for the Wizards, ending an eight-game stretch in which they alternated between wins and loss­ es. Bickerstaff sounded a now familiar theme after the game — his team doesn't have the talent to compete with the best. "There is a m issing ingredi­ ent," he said. "And the ingredient is you have to look yourself and say, 'Do we have the innate abili­ ty to do those things?' To me, it doesn't take skill, it takes an awareness of what needs to be done 'There's a rebound, a loose ball, I have to get it.'" in term s of, — C o m p ile d fro m A s s o c ia te d P ress re p o rts THURSDAY ■ SOFTBALL The Longhorns host Southwest Texas at McCombs Field at 6 p.m. HUD AY ■ BASEBALL The No. 13 Longhorns host No. 10 Baylor at the Disch-Falk Field at 6:30 p m Associated Press Right off the bat, Mark McGwire and baseball showed signs that 1999 might be a repeat of a most remarkable sea­ son. McGwire hit home run No. 1 on opening day, just like he did last year on his way to a record-breaking 70. Big Mac thrilled a sellout crowd at Busch Stadium — and no doubt, a whole nation looking on — when he connect­ ed Monday night for the St. Louis Car­ dinals. About a half-hour later, Ken Griffey Jr. also went deep. He did it for the Seat­ tle Mariners in front of the career home run kin g Hank Aaron, who threw out the first ball at the Kingdome. Yet even before McGwire and Griffey homered, fans had plenty to marvel about. Cal Ripken, of all people, hurt himself and had to leave the game. Kevin Brown, the $105 million man, was knocked out in his matchup with Randy Johnson. Detroit's Brian Moehler took a no-hit bid into the sev­ enth inning. And, just like last year, there were home runs. Lots of them. Albert Belle broke loose for Balti­ more. Raul Mondesi went wild for Los Angeles. Jose Canseco connected for Tampa Bay. Bernard Gilkey hit two off Brown. Juan Encamación wasted no time — he homered for the Tigers on the first pitch of the afternoon at Texas. The 70-homer man, in the mean time, hit his first of the season off Milwaukee Brewers reliever David Weathers in the fifth inning of the St. Louis Cardinals' opener. McGwire briefly pum ped some enthusiasm into what had been a blah night, with the Brewers leading 7-1 in a game that was twice delayed by rain by a total of 1:57. But after he rounded the bases and declined a curtain call, hundreds of fans headed for home. McGwire also homered on opening day last year en route to smashing Roger Maris' 37-year-old record of 61, and in much more dramatic fashion. His grand slam off Ramon Martinez busted up a scoreless tie. After an opening day appetizer Sun­ day night in Mexico between Colorado and San Diego, baseball began in earnest Monday with 11 more openers. "I call this my holy day," Orioles fan Robin Steel said at Camden Yards. "That's what it is for those of us who worship in the church of baseball." The morning began with the tradi­ tional opening-day parade in Cincin­ nati. Later, ailing Andres Galarraga threw out the first ball at Atlanta, via TV hook-up from his home. At night, Roger Clemens was to make his debut for the World Series champion New York Yankees at Oakland. McGwire, coming off his record 70- homer season, and the St. Louis Cardi­ nals had to wait out rain showers to start their opener against Milwaukee. When they began, McGwire got a standing ovation at Busch Stadium before walking in his first plate appear­ ance. Sosa, who hit 66 last year, and the Chicago Cubs open Tuesday night at Houston. "Last year I was ready, but I think in 1999 I am more ready because a lot of people are expecting me and Mark to come back and do the same way," Sosa said after a workout. "I have to say that he's ready and I'm ready." Belle was ready, too. Playing his first game for the Orioles, the star who figures to challenge for the home-run lead this year in cozy Cam­ den Yards hit a three-run homer that highlighted a 10-7 win over Tampa Bay. Belle's teammates and the crowd of 46,733 gave him a standing ovation, and the surly slugger responded with a rare curtain call. Belle also had an RBI single, more than enough to offset Canseco's 398th career homer. The Orioles won despite losing Rip­ ken, who left in the third inning because of a stiff lower back. There was no word on whether Ripken, who vol- OPENING D A Y /P a g e 10 The Orioles' Albert Belle (88) stands beside Jeff Conine, Cal Ripken, B J. Surhoff and Charles Johnson during the anthem. A SSO C IATED PRESS Tigers’ Moehler silences Rangers Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — The first opening day start of Brian Moehler's career wasn't going very well. He had to cut his warmup short because he didn't feel comfortable on the bullpen mound. And he wasn't too com­ fortable with his stomach, either. "For the first time in my career, I felt like I was going to throw up," Moehler said. Moehler calmed down in time to flirt with history, coming within eight outs of joining Bob Feller as the only pitchers to throw no-hitters on open­ ing day as Detroit beat Texas 11-5 Monday. Moehler (1-0) dominated the AL's best hitting team of 1998 until one out in the seventh inning when Juan Gon­ zalez singled to center. Rangers new­ comer Rafael Palmeiro ruined the possible shutout by following with an RBI double. Whether Moehler could pull off the feat became the game's focus early as Juan Encamación homered on the game's first pitch, Bobby Higginson and Damion Easley hit three-run homers in a seven-run third inning and Detroit was up 11-0 by the sixth. Moehler appeared to have no-hit stuff as he retired the side in order in five of the first six innings. His only jam was the second when he walked Gonzalez and Palmeiro, but got out of it with a double-play grounder and a pop out. Moehler said his pregame nausea was simply a case of the nerves. Once the lead swelled, he relaxed and even allowed himself to daydream about the no-hitter. "If the game was closer, I probably wouldn't have thought about it," Moehler said. "But 11-0? Sure, I was thinking about it." Moehler, who had to wait until June 30 for his first road victory last year, allowed one run on two hits with six strikeouts and two walks. He threw 106 pitches and was tired by the S.A. tops Warriors Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — After struggling for a stretch during the first half of the season, David Robinson appears to be back to his All-Star form. Robinson and Tim Duncan each tm m scored 25 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs, which has won 17 of their last 19, to a 93-86 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday. "Over the last three or four games 1 feel the team chemistry has started to come together" Robinson said. "I feel I'm starting to play better with Tim (Duncan) also. He's been super all year for us. Now we are starting to play off each other and make each other better. Ifi s fun this way." San Antonio also received 13 points from Sean Elliott. Robinson also pulled down 16 rebounds, while Duncan grabbed 11. Golden State was led by John Starks' 18 points, while Chris Mills scored 13 and Antawn Jamison added 11. 'Tonight they made the plays and we didn't," Warriors coach P.J. Carlesi- mo said. "We competed well on the boards and got a lot of good shot opportunities. We beat a lot of teams tonight, but not San Antonio, they are a SPURS/Page 9 RANGERS/Page 10 Rangers pitcher Rick Helling was roughed up by Tiger hitters on Monday. ASSO C IATED PRESS One more stand Astros set to play last year in Dome Associated Press HOUSTON — They could have taken shovels in hand for a traditional ground­ breaking, but that would have been too ordinary. Instead, with true Texas flair, honored guests fired Colt .45 pistols into a vacant lot south of downtown to begin construc­ tion on what officially became the Harris County Domed Stadium, known world­ wide as the Astrodome. Billy Graham toured the world's first dom ed stadium and called it one of the the w onders the world and of A strodom e's creator, County Judge Roy Hofheinz, decided it should be dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World. It w as 34 years and several facelifts ago when the Astrodome set a spectacular standard for indoor stadium s to follow. Now, even the first-of-its kind Astrodome is giving w ay to progress, losing its longest-running tenant.

ASSO C IATED PRESS Texas heads to Houston to face Cougs Robby Nisenfeld Daily Texan Staff On Saturday Texas made it official — this year's Longhorns are better than last year's edition. All right, so it didn't take college base­ ball's version of Einstein to realize that the Longhorns were an improved team when they swept defending national champion Stanford and took two of three games from perennial power­ house Louisiana State way back in early February.

And on Sunday, they added their 25th for good measure. When the Longhorns (25-12) travel to Houston on Tuesday for a single game with UH at Cougar Fieid (18-15), Texas can take the first step forward in prov­ ing that not only are the Horns a better team than they were in 19%, they're also a better team than that which took the field in February. "I'm real excited about the Tuesday game to see if the progress we've made is for real, " Texas head coach Augie Gar- ndo said. "If there's one word that has bear missing if s consistency." The Horns have been a model — make that a synonym — for inconsis­ tency during the first two months of the season when they lace up their cleats for a midweek game. Two days after the LSU series, Texas lost to the Cougars. They've also suf­ fered defeats against UT-San Antonio and most recently, McNeese State last week.

Before the game, the Orioles unveiled a large, orange "7" in the third-base coaching box to honor Cal Ripken Sr., who died March 24 of lung cancer at 63. Cal Jr. did not get any hits, leaving him 122 short of 3,000. But Wade Boggs singled twice for the Devil Rays, giving him 76 short of the milestone. Mondesi delivered the biggest hits. His three-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth tied it, and his two-run homer in the 11th lifted Los anything from the day's two marquee matchups — Johnson vs. Brown at Dodger Stadium or Curt Schilling vs. Tom Glavine at Turner Field. need to be able to play the game consis­ tently and not let foe name on foe chest of foe opponent be foe reason we play harder." Angeles over Arizona 8-6. Moehler, meanwhile, was the day's pitching star — rather than Brown or Johnson. There was no evidence that umpires were calling higher strike's as the commissioner's office ordered them todo. Moehler came within eight outs of joining Bob Feller as the only pitchers to throw no-hitters on opening day as Detroit defeated Texas 11-5. Juan Gonzalez broke up Moehler's bid with a one-out single in the seventh. "Sure, I was thinking about it," Moehler said. His performance was far better than Brown, baseball's first $100 million man, gave up three home runs for the Dodgers. Johnson, who signed for $52.4 million, was so-so for the Diamond­ backs. At Atlanta, neither Schilling nor Glavine were especially sharp as Philadelphia beat the Braves 7-4. The Kansas City Royals once again proved that nothing counts until opening day. After posting baseball's best exhibition record at 22-9, they lost 5-3 to Boston. i ¡ i T • J i Li 1 j L 1 Lrl ■ n 1 I I I ! ¡Ti 1 i t T 1 Horns Rangers Spurs Continued from p a ge 9 Continued from page 9 Continued from page 9 Wolves top Mavs| without Brandon; Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Just as the Min­ nesota Timberwolves were starting to recognize each other, another of their key players went down with an injury. The Timberwolves, already without four key players, hung on to beat the Dallas Mavericks 100-93 Monday, but Minnesota lost starting point guard Terrell Brandon with a right thigh bruise. Brandon sustained the injury when he collided with Mavericks center Shawn Bradley with 9:47 left in the third quarter and did not return to the game or leave with the team on their flight to Phoenix — where they play the Suns on Wednesday. Wolves coach Flip Saunders said Brandon is doubtful for the team's next three games. "It's tough," Wolves' forward Kevin Garnett said of the team's injuries. "We've got to keep our heads up and get through it." With the win, the Wolves finished their homestand 5-1 despite dressing only 10 players for the third consecu­ tive game. While starters Garnett and Sam Mitchell scored a team-leading 18 points each, Minnesota's big contribu­ tions came from the bench, which scored 47 points. Tom Hammonds scored 14, Bran­ don's replacement Bobby Jackson added 13 and seldom-used forward Andrae Patterson had 11. "That's what we get paid for," Jack­ son said. "We've got to step in and play great no matter how many min­ utes we're in there." Gary Trent scored 26 to lead the Mavericks, who got only seven points on 2-of-13 shooting from leading scor­ er Michael Finley. Garnett played the bulk of the minutes against Finley, who averages more than 18 points a game, and held him without a point until less than four minutes left in the game. "He plays great defense and their total team defense definitely affected us," Finley said. "I couldn't hit any­ thing. The shots just weren't falling." Minnesota took the lead for good at 33-31 in the second quarter when Pat­ terson converted consecutive 3-point plays. He and Hammonds each scored 10 points in the quarter. The Wolves maintained a comfort­ able lead in the second halt until Steve Nash's 3-pointer with 1 minute to play pulled Dallas within 93-90. But Jack­ son, Mitchell and Garnett converted seven of eight free throws in the finid minute to put the game away. "The second quarter just never let us recover," Trent said. "It was an uphill fight." Dallas was done in by 20 turnovers, which the Wolves converted into 20 points. Minnesota had 16 steals, one short of the club record. "If we hadn't set the tone early that this was going to be a defensive and rebounding team," Saunders said. "I don't think we would have won some of the games we've won with our injuries." The Wolves hope to get some of their injured players back for Wednes­ day's game at Phoenix. Forwards Joe Smith and Malik Sealy could return for the Suns game while guards Anthony Peeler and James Robinson will also make the trip but could be out for longer periods. phenomenally good defensive team." end. After leading by 10 points at half- time, San Antonio grabbed its largest lead at 64-50 on two Mario Elie free throws with 4:06 remaining in foe third quarter. Starks had nine points in foe quarter to bring foe Warriors back to within four entering foe final period. Duncan, who had 16 second half points, gave San Antonio an 83-73 lead with 4:24 remaining on two free throws. "Sometimes guys like Tim Duncan and David Robinson are going to have games like they did tonight," Golden State forward Jason Caffey said. "They are big time players and good shot blockers. You can't count on them hav­ ing a bad night every time you play them." "I felt fine, but I wasn't getting foe ball down like I was foe first six innings," he said. For foe Rangers, bad pitching — especially by ace Rick Helling — and bad defense joined foe early offensive flameout as co-conspirators in foe lop­ sided loss. It was no way to treat a crowd of 46,650, the largest for a home opener in team history, on a cloudless after­ noon tailor-made for the return of baseball. "You can't judge us on one gam e" said Palmeiro, who spent foe last five seasons in Baltimore after five in Texas. "We're going to be back. Everyone likes to get a good start, but just because we lost doesn't mean it's over." Astrodome Continued from page 9 Adams' demand for more seating capacity. Now the Astros, formerly the Colt .45s, are moving to a gleaming new 42,000-seat downtown ballpark with a retractable roof. They'll play on real grass for the first time since the earliest days of the Astrodom e, w hose opaque center-field glass prompted the invention of Astroturf. The Astros' new home will be ready for opening day next season, leaving behind the building where they've won division titles the last two seasons. They also were six outs from the World Series against Philadelphia in 1980 and they were beaten 4-2 by the New York Mets in the 1986 National League playoffs. "It's sad from one standpoint, but that's got to be tempered with the excitement of moving into a new facility," Astros president Tal Smith said. "I think the Astrodome lost a lot of its character when they took down the scoreboard and changed the configuration of the exterior." planned, city and county officials didn't think fans consistently would sit in extreme Gulf Coast heat and battle mosquitoes at old Colt Stadi­ um. It was a major selling point for enclosed, air conditioned comfort. Now, fans will get a chance to watch Astros games once again in the elements with the option of clos­ ing the roof if weather turns nasty. In Houston, that could mean m ost of the time in sweltering July, August and September. The Astros hosted the New York Yankees in the first indoor big- league baseball game on April 9, 1965. Houston catcher Ron Brand caught the first ball pitched in the Astrodome, a ceremonial toss by for­ mer Texas Gov. John Connally. "M ickey Mantle was the first bat­ ter and they told him to take the first pitch so they could keep the ball," Brand recalled. "M antle said 'I'm too nervous to swing anyway.' I could­ n't believe he would be nervous but it really as an exciting time. "It's one of the fond memories of When the Astrodome was being my career." That name is Houston, spelled N-O P-U-S-H-O-V-E-R, and foe Floms better expect a battle. Houston only sports an 18-15 record, but foe Cougars have won 10 of their last 15 games and three of those losses are to Texas, Baylor and Rice, which all are ranked in Collegiate Baseball's Top 15. Throw in Houston preseason All- American pitcher Shane Nance, who at 3-3 with a 6.37 ERA is due for a break­ out game, and this may be foe Horns' toughest Tuesday tussle to date. At least foe Horns are looking for­ ward to it. "Houston is a good team. They beat us once already," Texas left fielder Jason Cox said. "They have a nice place so it won't be like we're going to some junior college. It gives us a chance to get out of Austin. It should be fun there." Texas freshman Ryan France (1-1) will be foe first Longhorn on foe mound Tuesday, but don't expect him to stay there long. Over his last two midweek starts, France hasn't pitched passed foe first inning as Garrido has opted to con­ serve foe right-hander and his 4.30 ERA for relief duty on foe weekends. Instead, foe Longhorns have used a pitching-by-commitee approach that has seen a total of 12 hurlers take foe hill over foe two-game stretch. Regardless of how many Longhorns come out of foe bullpen, neither they nor foe rest of foe team should expect any motivational pep-talks from Garri­ do. "I'm hoping we've turned foe comer and this is a player-driven team instead of a coach-driven team," Garrido said. "I want to play a support role, that's what coaches do. You keep having those clubhouse m eetings and I keep giving those talks and eventu­ ally they're just words that don't go anywhere. When the players get at the lead, then it matters. Things happen."

She S a id ... Hi, I'm Henry. As you may have read in the review, there's a certain staged aspect to 20 Dates, even if it is a documentary. On the same note, there is a certain staged aspect to blind dating, even if it takes place in reality. Here, Courtney and I will explore the con­ ventions and clichés, which are the scripts and stage directions of dating. A d isclaim er to th e frie n d ly read er: It would be easier for me to recite the G ettys­ burg Address in the sub-sonic language of whales than to speak for every male on this w a te r-rid d en rock. I can sp eak on ly for m yself and all those cloned from my DNA. Date Structure O u r d ate w as e x tre m e ly c o n v e n tio n a l with just a dash of trendy cool. To begin, we ate at the M agnolia C afe (on 6th Stree t), then proceeded on our way to catch a flick, and ended in a very Friends-ian manner by talking over coffee at Spider House. First Im pression Granted, this was a blind date. All I had been told was "s h e 's old er than you and taller than you, and she's hot" (which trans­ lates to "sh e's out of your league"). These words are not exactly what one deems m oti­ vational, and thus, I thought Courtney was a smidge intimidating. N onetheless, my first glim pse at C ou rt­ ney d isp en sed any n o tio n of fin d in g an elderly Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with breasts. She was striking. Her long, straight blond h air w as the first th in g I n o ticed . I also quickly realized that she was not the con­ servative-looking girl that her classy voice su g g e ste d . I w as tip p ed o ff by the nose piercing. This was no gaudy piercing, it was • sm all and h ard ly n o ticeab le. She w a sn 't w hat I expected, and my first im pression was a pleasant surprise. Boy picks up girl I don't own a car, so I borrowed one from a friend. For the record, I have no problem with the girl driving (she too offered to bor­ row a car). Boy opens door for girl A gain , blam e my p aren ts. They raised me, those savages. W ho pays? T h ere are two kin d s of g irls out there: O ne o ffers to pay for her m eal, but after saying "n o " once, she backs down and lets you pay. W hich leads me to w onder why they even offer in the first place? The other kind of girl insists on paying and is willing to break your arm just to convince you to let her; Courtney falls into the latter category. G irl p ic k s a t h e r fo o d and/or orders a sm all salad C ou rtn ey w as u nafraid o f her m eal. In fact, I was the one who picked at my food. Sham e on me. Boy sneaks arm around girl during movie I had a girlfriend for over a year and a half, and I never put my arm around her in a movie. I have to go with the girls on this one. It seems a little like showing off your possession, and anyw ay, it's not com fort­ able (not that I've tried). W ho pays for the movie? The Daily Texan. Ha! Kiss Let me tell you, she could not keep her arms off of me. It was embarrassing. It was sick actually. That is, if it were true. I was lying. Sorry. I wanted to look good for at least a second or two. There was no kiss. No attem pts were made. Just a healthy "good night" and an enjoyable Friday. — Henry Gay den Roberto Rivera/DA ILY T E X A N STAFF Now it's my turn to offer the feminine per­ sp ectiv e. W hile I'd like to think th at I am immune to gross generalizations, I must admit that I, too, am just another faceless contestant in the great dating game. D inner and a movie The plans alone told me that it would be a night inevitably paved with cliched obstacles that I could either avoid or sadly accept. Preparation As I furrowed my brow over w hat shoes to wear, I looked up at the clock, which read 8:01 p.m.. Not only w as I officially late, but I had also slipped into the typical "g irl" role. I had changed my shirt, pants and hair one too many tim es, and I had k ep t the u n id en tified m ale waiting in the parking lot. B oy p ick s up g irl/b o y op en s door After finally deciding on a pair of shoes with the lowest possible heel (being five foot 10 inch­ es, I figured I had a pretty good chance of tow­ ering over my ill-fated blind date), I scurried to the Jeep parked outside. Here, I again fell into the stereotypical protocol of dating. First, it was the m ale that w as d riv in g . Second , w hen it came to climbing into the vehicle, he opened the door for me first, leaving me with the m ixed reaction of "how sw eet" and "how cheesy." First Im pression When all you have to go on is a couple of tele­ phone conversations, your imagination can run pretty wild. H enry's dignified, business-m an voice led me to expect the CEO of the UT Young Republican Club. Therefore, when I found that the sweet, rosy-cheeked Henry bore no resem­ blance to Alex P. Keaton, I was quite relieved. Conversation Later, over a bowl of Magnolia queso, we dis­ cussed our life stories and dream s. W ell, not exactly. I whined about Gwyneth Paltrow not deserving the Oscar, and he spoke of his inex­ plicable attraction to Fairuza Balk, com paring her somehow to chai tea. Girl picks at her food In the m eantim e, we picked at our entrees, trying desperately not to dribble or drool. Con­ trary to com m on p ractice, I did not o rd er a sa la d . W h ile I n e a rly cle a re d m y p la te , he rearranged his club sandwich and nibbled on a few home fries. Who pays? Soon it was time to wrangle over the check. Like a stud, he drew his wallet and flashed two twenties. He insisted on buying, and I, being a w om an of the '9 0 s , refu sed to let h im . But through my blinding pride, I had forgotten that my wallet was empty. We agreed to go by an ATM later. B oy sn eak s arm aro u n d g irl during movie As the film started rolling and I tried to cir­ cum vent the larger-th an-average head of the m an sittin g in fro n t o f me, I su rm ised that Henry would not be stupid enough to do the whole yawn, stretch, cop-a-feel bit. If he had, J honestly might have puked. Kiss A fter the m o v ie en d e d , H en ry d ro v e me hom e. As we sat in my p arking lot, w e had fin a lly re a ch ed th o se p in n a c le , d efin in g m om ents of the date. Now was the m ake-or- break period. Would we smack each other with our wet stamps of approval, or would we forgo the awkward entanglem ent of lips and cheek and call it a night? In the end, I thanked him few a nice evening and walked away dry-cheeked. Whether I learned it from Mom or some pathet­ ic encounter with The Rules, I had learned never to kiss on the first date. W hile I may not have earned another notch in my bedpost, I managed to have a fulfilling evening all the same. — Courtney Fitzgerald Texan staffers Henry Gayden and Courtney Fitzgerald share a moment of b liss during their blind date to review 20 D ates together.
