Brandon Threet, 19, was found guilty of manslaughter with a deadly weapon Friday, for fatal­ ly beating UT student Terence McArdle at a party in Georgetown last year. According to testimony, Threet and McArdle were attending a party in Williamson County last October when the defendant became upset after McArdle knocked over a picture frame in the host's living room and put on a pair of goggles he found in the house. At the hearing, each side called witnesses to testify acter. Family members, x>th McArdle and Threet testified while photos artu journals were entered into evidence. ------------------ District Attorney John Bradley also played an excerpt from a video of the crime, which he had played earlier in the trial. In the dosing arguments, the defense attorney, Roy Minton, asked the jury to sentence Threet to commu­ nity supervision or probation. "There is no excuse, nor have we suggested — nor has he suggested an excuse," he said. "This was one moment that has m ade an impact on his life. Do you believe in salvaging youth wnen they make a mis­ take?" Bradley asked the jury to give the maximum sen­ tence. he was doing], but nonetheless kicked and killed someone with his own hands and feet," Bradley said. The testimony and closing statements lasted for four-and-a-half hours before the jury began to delib­ erate at 5:30 p.m. As Judge Burt Cames read the verdict, Threet's girlfriend burst into tears, and his family members held onto each other. McArdle's family was silent. Following the verdict, James McArdle, father of the deceased, made a victim impact statement. He quoted from a letter McArdle had written to a friend: "There has to be a higher being, because there was so much beauty in the universe." McArdle's father then read the St. Francis Prayer, which McArdle's family had said while McArdle was in the hospital. As the defendant left the courtroom, he smiled at "What we have here is a case that calls for punish­ ment," he said. "The defendant was aware [of wTiat See TRIAL, page 7 F in a n c ia l F a l l d o w n “ I’m not a stock broke r oi a stock picker.

Bush Bush says economy, corporate health strong despite fluctuation on Wall Street By The Associated Press ARGONNE, 111. — President Bush had no advice for investors as the stock market gyrated wildly Monday — "I'm not a stock broker or a stock picker" — but he said the economy is strong and that cor­ porate profits are improving. "You're talking to the wrong guy about w hat stocks to buy," the president said in a brief exchange with reporters at a national lab involved in homeland defense. His remarks mixed optimism, skepticism and even bewilderment about Wall Street as stocks again fell sharply — reflecting the strug­ gle by Bush and his economic team to respond to tumbling markets. On a day that began with telecommunications giant World­ Com Inc. filing the largest bankrupt­ cy in corporate history, the Dow- opened with a slight increase, but declined more than 200 points as Bush spoke to reporters and was to dow n 300 as he returned Washington. By early afternoon, it moved briefly into positive territory before ultimately plunging nearly 235points to dose at 7,784. become a potent political issue in the November midterm elections because a growing num ber of Americans are deeply invested in stocks; many have their entire sav - ings tied up in 401(k) plans. White House advisers fear Americans w-ill blame Republicans, if not Bush, for corporate scandals because voters see the GOP as closely aligned with big business. Indeed, after the bleak market dose, the White House sought once again to distance the president from its day-to-day performance. "W hether the president speaks or doesn’t speak, the market has its ow n dynamics,"* Bush spokesman A n Fleischer said, the screens on the four TV sets in his office blar­ ing another day of bad Wall Street news. "The president is not tied to the gyrations."

Perry refuses special session for rising insurance costs By Peter Walker Daily Texan Staff Democratic gul Qmartorial can­ didate Tony Sanche^ re aew ed hi> dem and Monday for Gov. Rick Perry to call an em ergency ses­ sion of the Legislature .o address skyrocketing hom e insurance costs. "Texans cannot afford to wait another year for a rem edy to this crisis," Sanchez said in a written statem ent. "Rick Perry should call a special session to address this major problem affecting mil­ lions of Texans." The Legislature is / t scheduled to meet until its regular session begins in 2003. According to Sanchez's cam­ paign, bills collected from con­ sumers across the state show rate increases of as much as 100 per­ cent to 400 percent in one year. Perry declined to call a special session, speaking at a press con­ ference M onday foi Mayors for Perry, during which about 250 Texas mayors endorsed Perry. "Hom eowners insurance will be addressed — and I will declare it emergency legislation — when the Legislature recon­ venes in regular session," Perry said. Perry said a number of issues were to blame for increased insurance rates, including frivo­ lous insurance claims. He added that both insurance and tort reforms were necessary and that Sanchez's call tor a special ses­ sion was a political show. "It's easy for someone to stand u p and say, Call a special ses­ sion,"' Perry said Perrv also pointed out that he has asked Attorney General John C ornyn and Commissioner of Insurance jose Montemayor to investigate the source of rate increases. "On Friday, tht* Ttxas Depart­ ment of Insurance subpoenaed the underwriting guideline's of Farmers and Allstate to determine whether they7re engaged in illegal activity," Perry said.

ITT advice-line TEX Talk pennant rtly disconnected Having trouble making friends? Not quite sure if it’s infatuation or love? Come late September, UT Longhorns will not be able to rely on TEX Talk to find the answers to these and other questions. TEX Talk, not TEX — The Telephone Enrollment Exchange for the University — is discontinuing its services. TEX Talk was implemented as an automated telephone service to provide callers with an oppor­ tunity to hear taped advice on everything from “helping others and self” to “self awareness” or “relationships.” After dialing 475-9950 and using option 91, students can enter one of numerous five-digit numbers and leam all sorts of new things. For example, code 10001 teaches callers “how to make friends” on a campus of 51,000. “Oh, you ski?” the recorded voice will say. “So do I. Are you a member of the ski club?” Kate Kozman, administrative associate for the office, said much of TEX Talk’s information can be found online. As a result, the service will end Sept. 30. New proposal offers AISD employees discounted rent Capstone Properties Corp. will reduce housing costs for Austin Independent School District teachers and other district employees under its preferred employer program. The program is offering AISD employees a 3-percent rental dis­ count and a 50i3ercent discount on their required security deposit, said Nancy Lochner, property manager for the Trails of Walnut Creek, an apartment complex located on Metric Boulevard. “It is the same thing as a large employer discount where, if you work for a company that is very large, you get a discount," Lochner said. Thirteen Austin properties mark aged by Capstone, including Trails of Walnut Creek, and two others in Round Rock and Georgetown will participate in the discount program. Lochner said that normally she rents an apartment with a mid­ sized bedroom and washer and dryer connections for $670 per month. Lochner said without the special, anyone gets an apartment for $620 per month. AISD employ ees, however, can receive an addi­ tional $18.60 off their rent. “Every little bit helps,” Lochner Compiled by Andre Coe (^arrangements | in plants, fresh flowers, I balloons CASA VERDE FLO RIST __________ _ _________ 451-0691*1 j available I ^t^dail^specials, too! 1806 W.

"The investigation is based sole­ ly on the audit done by UTMB," Doguim said. "We haven't named anyone in the investigation yet."

Tylka said Mobile Medical Unit Inc. received por­ tions of possibly entire remains of bodies that had been donated to the Willed Body Program. "We have not alleged what specifically happened to the bod­ ies," Tylka said. "What we are say­ ing is that this program, which by its nature is a great program, has not performed its duty to these families." Tyler was unavailable for com­ ment, but Andrew Payei; who left UTMB in December 2001 to serve as a professor and director of medical curriculum at Florida State Univer­ sity's new medical school, said he would be represented by the University, since he was an employ­ ee at the time of the allegations. Tyler worked directly under Payer and at no time gave his boss reason to suspect any misdeeds. "We worked together for many years," Payer said. "If my wife's body had been donated to the pro­ gram, I would have trusted it with Allen." A California newspaper report­ ed that in 2000 Tyler had testified against Michael Brown, the owner of a crematorium charged with selling body parts for profit and providing false remains to families. Tyler allegedly worked on a total of 160 bodies for Brown, earning $22,000 for his services. Neither Payer nor Tylka would comment on the Brown case. HEAD ABOVE WATER Study: Women retain emotions more than men By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Matrimon­ ial lore says husbands never remember marital spats and wives never forget. A new study suggests a reason: Women's brains are wired both to feel and recall emotions more keenly than the brains of men. A team of psychologists tested groups of women and men for their ability to recall or recognize highly evocative photographs three weeks after first seeing them and found that the women's rec­ ollections were 10 percent to 15 percent more accurate. o f The study, appearing in the Proceedings the National Academy o f Sciences, also used MRIs to image the subjects' brains as they were exposed to the pictures. It found that the women's neural responses to emotional scenes were much more active than the men's. Turhan Canli, an assistant pro­ fessor of psychology at State University of New York at Stony Brook, said the study shows that a woman's brain is better organ­ ized to perceive and remember emotions. "The waring of emotional expe­ rience and the coding of that experience into memory is much more tightly integrated in women than in men," said Canli. "A larg­ er percentage of the emotional stimuli used in the experiment were remembered by women than by men." The study is consistent with earlier research that found differ­ ences in the w orkings of the minds of women and men, said Diane F. Halpem, director of the Berger Institute for Work, Family and Children and a professor of psychology Claremont at McKenna College in California. "It advances our understand­ ing of the link between cognition and the underlying brain struc­ tures," she said. "But it doesn't mean that those are immutable... that they can't change with expe­ rience." Halpem said the study sup­ ports the folkloric idea that a wife has a truer memory for mar­ ital spats than does her husband. In the study, Canli and his col­ leagues individually tested the emotional memory of 12 women and 12 men using a set of pictures. Some of the pictures were ordi­ nary, and others were designed to evoke strong emotions. Each of the subjects viewed the pictures and graded them on a three-point scale ranging from "not emotionally intense" to "extremely emotionally intense." As the subjects viewed the pic­ tures, images were taken of tneir brains. All the test subjects returned to the lab three weeks later and were surprised to leam that they would now be asked to remem­ ber the pictures they had seen. In a memory test tailored for each person, they were asked to pick out pictures that they earlier rated as "extrem ely emotionally intense." The pictures were mixed among 48 new pictures. "For pictures that were highly emotional, men recalled around 60 percent and women were at about 75 percent," Canli said. Canli said the study may help move science closer to finding a biological basis to explain why clinical depression is much more common in women than in men.

Texas gubernatorial candidates accuse each other of hypocrisy PERRY, FROM 1 ation Service, which represents the major insurance providers of Texas, said the industry would strongly oppose an em ergency legislative session. She said more tim e is needed to stabilize recent­ ly deregulated rates. Ray blam es the current situ a­ tion on overregulation and friv­ olou s and "s u sp ic io u s" m old claim s and law suits. Perry said 95 percent of the insurance industry is deregulat­ ed, w ith 65 percent of the m arket controlled by Farm ers Insurance G ro u p , State Farm In su ran ce and AlUtate Insurance Co. Each cand id ate accused the other of hypocrisy, with Perry accusing Sanchez of selling the u nregulated policies he has attacked, and Sanchez accusing Perrv of being soft on insurance com panies due to cam paign con­ tributions. "Sin ce 1997, Rick Perry has taken over $1 m illion from the very industry that is abusing the inclu d in g p eop le of Texas, $85,000 in the first six m onths of "It this y ear," S an ch ez said. should com e as no surprise that his ad m inistration's response to the in su ran ce com p an ies has been piecem eal, transparent and insincere."

Perry said International Banc- shares Corp., a $6.3 billion bank Sanchez's fam ily holds invest­ ments in, sells insurance policies from the types of unregulated companies Sanchez has attacked. "My opponent can't be trust­ ed when it comes to homeown­ er's insurance," Perry said. "H is bank sells unregulated hom e­ ow ner's policies — at rapidly increasing prices — which means he's personally profiting from hom eow ner's rates." higher M ichelle Kucera, a spokes­ woman for Sanchez's campaign, said this represents less tnan 1 percent of IBC 's profits and added that insurance rates are determined by the insurance companies, not the agents who sell them. Kucera also said any reforms would affect IBC's prof­ it margin, but Sanchez has made a higher priority out of helping Texans. Sanchez's insurance reform plan includes prohibiting black­ listing homes based on water damage history, regulating cur­ rently unregulated plans and requiring insurance providers to offer homeowners insurance for every Texan.

BRIEFS Bush administration withholds $34 million WASHINGTON — The B u sh administration, in a victory for social conservatives, will with­ hold $ 3 4 million that had been earm arked for U.N. .family plan­ ning programs overseas. Instead, the money will go to international child survival and health pro­ g ram s of the U.S. Agency for International Development, offi­ cia ls said Monday. Critics of the decision said it w as driven by politics and vowed to fight to ensure funding for the U.N. program. U.N. Secretary- General Kofi Annan said he was disappointed, and China said it hoped the decision will be changed. ‘ W omen and children will die b eca u se of this decision,* said Thoraya Obaid, executive director o f th e U.N. fund. But State Departm ent spokesm an Richard Boucher, In announcing the decision, said the administration considered the law and other factors and concluded “that the U.N. Population Fund moneys go to C hine se agencies that carry out coercive programs’ that involve abortion. The White House w as involved in the decision, and President Bush supported the action, he said. White House officials privately said conservative activists have pressured the administration for m onths to prove B ush’s anti-abor­ tion credentials by permanently denying money to the U.N. fund, which helps countries with repro­ ductive and sexual health, family planning and population strategy. • Judge OKs independent examiner for WorldCom NEW YORK — The federal judge overseeing the WorldCom bankruptcy case approved the appointment Monday of an inde­ pendent examiner to ensure an honest accounting of the compa­ ny’s value and investigate for mismanagement, irregularities and fraud. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Gonzalez granted the Justice Department's request after approving $2 billion In financing to keep WorldCom operating as it reorganizes its finances. The examiner would have the power to request documents detailing the company’s transac­ tions. WorldCom has agreed with the request, according to court documents. Daniel Golden, a lawyer repre­ senting several WorldCom bond­ holders objected to the appoint­ ment, saying it would further entangle the case. Peace agreement to end 4-year war in Congo CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Congolese and Rwandan leaders said Monday that they've reached an agreement to end a four-year war in Congo — a fight that has defied resolution as it drew in eight African countries and claimed more than 2 million lives. There was no immediate word on specifics of the arrangement, which follows several other peace proposals that fell apart for one reason or another. Various mediators from around the world have been trying to forge a peace since the war began in 1998. The peace deal, which still has to be ratified by presidents Joseph Kabila of Congo and Paul Kagame of Rwanda, was bro­ kered during five days of talks mediated by South Africa’s Deputy President Jacob Zuma. “We have no doubt that if we can diligently execute this broad agreement we shall bring to an end this conflict that has been engulfing our countries for sever­ al years,* said Rwandan Minister in the Presidency Patrick Mazimhaka. Compiled from Associated Press reports By The Associated Press - GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — An Israeli Air Force F-16 fired a mis­ sile at a house belonging to a Hamas leader in Gaza City early Tuesday, killing at least 10 people, including children, three Palestinian officials and doctors said. Security officials said the house belonged to Sheik Salah Shehada, founder of the military wing of Hamas, known as Izzadine el- Qassam, in Gaza and the West Bank. There was no word on the identities of the casualties or if Shehada was among them. Hospital officials said more than 50 people were wounded. The Hamas military wing has claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks against Israelis during near­ ly two years of fighting, including many suicide bomb attacks. The explosion collapsed the building and three houses around it, residents said. The Israeli mili­ tary had no immediate comment. In recent days, Israeli forces have struck twice at Gaza, target­ ing metal workshops where the Israelis say Palestinians were manufacturing mortar shells and rockets. Palestinians fire mortars at Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip almost every day. Witnesses said two Israeli F-16 warplanes circled over Gaza before one of them fired a single missile. Jamal Halaby, a Palestinian police officer who lives nearby, said he saw the missile streaking across the sky, and then he heard a huge explosion. "I fell out of my bed, and I found myself a minute later covered in dust and stones, and the sounds of my children screaming and crying." The air strike came as Israel and the Palestinians were trading ideas about reducing tension in the West Bank and easing Israeli restrictions. Last month Israel sent troops into West Bank cities and towns for the second time since March, following Palestinian sui­ cide bomb attacks. Officials on both sides said Israel might pull its forces out of two of the towns if the Palestinians can maintain security there. Some Israelis are suggesting that Gaza could be used as a test case, because the territory, separated from the West Bank by Israeli terri­ tory, has not been targeted by Israeli ground forces, and Palestinian security arms there are intact. However, Israel charges that militant groups have a free hand there, and the Israelis blame the Palestinian Authority for failing to stop militants from firing mortars and rockets at Jewish settlements. U.S. troops to guard Afghan president An A fg h a n b o d y g u a rd a im s his rifle w h ile o th e r b od y g u a rd s ta ke away a m o c k “VIP* d u rin g a train ing se s s io n in K a b u l M onday. • Associated Press B y T h e A s s o c ia t e d P r e s s Safety concerns cause bodyguard replacement "Clearly, it is important for that country that the outcome of the loya jirga not be negated by vio­ lence," Rumsfeld said, referring to the Afghan grand council that chose Karzai last month to head the two-year transitional government. KABUL, Afghanistan — Pres­ ident Hamid Karzai has sidelined his Afghan bodyguards and called in U.S. troops to replace them in a sign of rising security fears follow­ ing the murder of an Afghan vice president, his aide said Monday. Diplomats said the move fol­ lowed "serious threats" against Karzai, some believed to have come from within his own Cabinet. The approximately 50 guards replaced were part of the 10,000-strong force of fighters loyal to Defense Minister Mohammed Fahim. U.S. Defense Secretare Donald Rumsfeld confirmed the move, calling it a "short-term " measure to ensure stability in the country fragmented by 23 years of war. "We look at it as a relatively short­ term matter" to last several weeks or months, Rumsfeld said. He said the United States also would help train Afghan bodyguards for Karzai. Concern over Karzai's safety has soared after the unsolved killing this month of Vice President Abdul Qadir, said presidential spokesman Said Fazel Akbar. "The investigation into the slay­ ing of Q adir has so far not pro­ duced results, and something nad to be done to increase the presi­ dent's security," Akbar said. Sources at the downtown palace said the first of about 50 U.S. sol­ diers, including special forces, started deploying over the week­ end to take care of Karzai's person­ al safety. A U.S. Army spokesman in Kabul declined to comment, and Karzai has made no public appear­ ances since the changeover. A s s o c ia t e d Press Strained relations could lead to second Gulf War By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Saber rat­ tling in Washington and defiant warnings from Baghdad m ay be the early stages of political and psychological maneuvering that would be a prelude to a second Gulf War. Even administration officials are talking in terms of a postwar Iraq. "What's going to come after­ wards," Deputy Defense Secretan’ Paul Wolfowitz said last week, is not only going to benefit ordinary Iraqis but will also "remove a great danger " to Americans. "I think it will be another act of liberation," he said. Some outside the adm inistra­ tion see a deliberate psychologi­ cal aim behind such talk. "We may already be executing a plan," said retired Arm y Gen Fred Woemer, a form er com ­ mander in chief of U.S. forces in South America. "A re we involved in a prelim inary psy­ chological dimension of causing Iraq to do something", to justify a U.S. attack or to m ake conces­ sions? he asked. "Somebody knows, but 1 sure don't," Woemer said. Although the U.S. m ilitan has thousands of soldiers, s a i l o r s air­ men and marines in the Gulf area and theoretically could launch an attack at any time, there are no strong signs that w ar is imminent.

Did you notice Dana Cloud’s provocative column on the same page as Brian Bodine’s counter two weeks ago, or was he so effective as to shut her out of your memo­ ry completely? Either way, I wasn’t aware that Mr. Hunter's respect for diversity (besides the ethnic kind) was cause for such outrage. To answer your question: The values of capitalism prevail over democracy because democracy is a means to an end of preserving individual rights, liberty and property. The Founding Fathers and their respective philosophical influences understood this principle, which you demean with the same old socialist slur: "exploitation of labor.” When Bodlne writes of radi­ cal democracy as “mob rule,” he is speaking of the dangers of removing the checks in our political system that protect minorities of all kinds against abuse by the majority. Imagine in the present day if this country observed no such pro­ tections of the individual, and your breed of democracy reigned supreme. In such a climate, I’d hate to be Professor Cloud after writing that letter to The Texan. Without undemocratic restraints upon government action to protect her, she would soon find herself in sorry shape indeed. This underscores a curious contra­ diction. By sole virtue of the constitutionally-protected civil liberties that she hails (unde­ mocratic institutions, mind you), Cloud probably doesn’t have to worry too much about John Ashcroft’s brownshirts taking her Job, confiscating her home or hauling her off to some horror shop in the mid­ dle of Nevada for “reprogram­ ming.” How long will socialists continue to undercut them­ selves by paying lip-service to civil liberties — a concept that is inherently contrary to their principles? A.E. Smith Managing editor, Contumacy Red over Green publicity Dear Editors: While I should no longer be surprised at_the grotesque lack of professionalism displayed by those who work on The Daily Texan, it is nonetheless true that your recent article entitled “Texas Green Party seeks more support” is more than just outrageously biased, it is quite possibly illegal. There is no content in this arti­ cle, nothing newsworthy and no analysis. piece about Green Party candi­ dates. As such, I would sug­ gest one of the following redresses: It is merely a puff (1) Submit a bill to the Greens asking them to pay for the equivalent amount of advertising space, and label such articles as political advertisements in the future. (2) Allow equal time and space to the Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and others. I would be surprised If they would not also be highly supportive of Indi­ vidual pieces titled “[insert Party Name Here] seeks more support." Of course, you will do noth­ ing of the sort, given your past behavior. Moreover, I confi­ dently predict that should you elect to run this letter you will be unable to stop yourselves from responding, another sign of your total lack of profes­ sionalism (hint: in real news­ papers, Letters to the Editor are not normally accompanied by chagrined replies). Andy Ellington Chemistry and biochemistry professor Anglo-Americanization In his Monday Firing Une, Charles Ganske laments the British Parliament’s subordina­ tion to the European Union. Ganske writes that these devel­ opments will lead to a situation where what it means to be British will be reduced to a matter of tea and crumpets. But one result of globalization is that the European Parliament itself, the institution that Ganske alludes to, is modeled more on the British Parliament than on any other European governmental body. And ses­ sions of the European Parliament are conducted in English, not French or German. While Ganske may not be a follower of Pat Buchanan, it’s important to note that global­ ization, far from leading to the death of the West, instead shows how the rest of Europe and the world are voluntarily embracing, among other things, the 800-year-old [British] body of law that Ganske mentions. Undoubtedly, globalization means that both Europe and the rest of the world will become much more politically, economically and culturally homogeneous. And that homo­ geneity looks and sounds a lot more British and American than it does French or German or Third World. The opponents of globalization in France and in the Middle East, among other places, have some basis to their critiques. After all, in 50 years everyone in their countries will speak English, eat at McDonald's, drink Coke and Starbucks cof­ fee, and shop at The Gap. But there is little basis to a British or American anti-globalization assessment. It’s difficult to argue that globalization is bad from an Anglo-American per­ spective at the same time that the whole world is becoming Anglo-Americanized.

Controversial author undeserving of vilification By Bryan R egister Daily Texan Columnist When we look at the sentence "Erotic pleasure is a gift and can be a positive joy to people at every age," we might think that 'every age" includes some peo­ ple who are a bit too young for erotic pleasure. Surely, the writer isn't suggesting that, say, preschool children should be Sited with erotic pleasure? Or at adolescents are better off doing anything but abstaining from sex? But that is precisely what the writer is suggesting. These are core beliefs included in Judith Levine's intensely controversial book Harmful to Minors, a book • about the way we treat the sex­ uality of everyone younger than 18. According to Levine, con­ temporary America is awash in a sea of right-wing extremism that is keeping parents in hys­ terics about fictitious dangers to their children and keeping chil­ dren ignorant about real dan­ gers to their lives and well beings — and ignorant about real opportunities for fulfill­ ment and simple pleasure. Levine tola the online book "I column Holt Uncensored, expected a reaction from the far right, but nothing like this." Before the book had even been published, Robert Knight of the Culture and Family Institute told Time that the book is "aca­ demic cover for child moles­ ters." ‘ Were one to judge from this reaction and many more like it, one might think the book is about pedophilia, but it isn't. Erotic relationships betwéen adults and minors form the topic of two chapters, constitut­ ing less than a quarter of the book. A lot of that space is spent debunking the child molesta­ tion hysterics — the fact thát, while the chance of a child being killed by a molester who is not a family member is no greater than one in 364,000 per year, parents are more con­ cerned with child molestation than with lethal car accidents, which are 25 to 75 times more likely. Though the most that's prominent accusation, there are others. A lot of them are sheer silliness. Levine does not — repeat not — advocate pedophil­ ia. She plainly abhors noncon- sensual sexual relations between anyone. And she's certainly not ignorant of the wide differences in personal power that can make it possible for an adult to pres­ sure a minor into sex he or she doesn't want: Levine accepts the truism that "Girls and women ... are far more often the victims of rape and incest than boys are, and gender compounds whatev­ er age-related power imbalances an intergenerational liaison may contain. And though some of the claims about what Levine says are true, that doesn't mean that the book is evil, The book is somehow vicious only if it says things that we might correctly think are false, which would allow people to treat minors in a way that will actually harm them, and which are unquestion­ ably false. To (correctly) observe, with one religious right critic, that Levine thinks that "under­ age girls should be able to get an abortion without their parents' knowledge or consent" is to prove Levine's wickedness only if we've agreed that underage girls should not be able to get an abortion without their parents' knowledge or consent, and that mojreover, suggesting that "they should" is simply beyond five range of civilized discourse. The former may or may not be true, but the latter surely is not. Levine, unfortunately, indulges her taste for leftist hysteria even as she reveals religious right hys­ teria for what it is. Byt her broad predilections for social change in the direction of greater state con­ trol can be set aside for the pur­ pose of seeing the very important position she takes about minors and their sexualities. Likewise, we must ignore the attacks on the book, which fail to engage in the constructive dialogue it invites. That dialogue might start with the observation that proba­ bly the most immediately useful claim Levine makes is that sex education in public schools should not take the increasingly popular form of "abstinence- only" propaganda. As she reports, students subjected to "aDstinence-only" education do abstain from intercourse — for an average of 18 months longer than those receiving wider sex education. But Levine further argues that when they do have sex, they don't know what they're doing. The only thing they "know" about condoms is that they don't work — that's why they were supposed to abstain — and the only kind of sex they know to be risky is the kind from which they were told to abstain (that is, heterosexual, vaginal intercourse). So they end up having the most danger­ ous kinds of sex without protec­ tion. But for Levine, adolescent sexual ignorance is regrettable not only because of the dangers of disease and pregnancy. There is also ignorance abotit the ways we can make love and have pleasure. Levine calls our atten­ tion to the fact that, even at our most liberal, we think of adoles­ cent sex as essentially danger­ ous, not as essentially an oppor­ tunity for young people to express their feelings toward their partners and to experience the pleasure of sexual fulfill­ ment. Certainly sex is danger­ ous — Levine knows that — but she suggests that we are making it more dangerous by trying to keep young people safe from it, rather than safe in and through it. We should structure their educations so as to enhance, not exclude, their sexual lives. Robert Knight reminds us of the truism that "There is no way a child can give meaningful consent to sex; children lack the maturity to understand the life­ long consequences of sexual acts." But why do they lack the maturity? To keep "children" — of up to 18 years of age — igno­ rant of health and of pleasure, the religious right prevents the education of "children." They then use that very ignorance as their reason to refuse to respect the choices of young people. Levine calls on us to inform and respect minors as our first means of protecting them. To give up on information and respect to protect young people may well be to give up the best means we have to prevent harm to minors. Though Levine's book has its problems, and though its main theses should be controversial even if correct, Levine should be respected, not vilified, for calling them to our attention.

Associated Press California court OKs funding for college theology majors By Brian Villalobos Daily Texan Staff A California federal appeals court interpreted a law in the state of Washington refu sing financial aid to theology m ajors as a direct impingement upon Constitutional freedoms. The decision was m ade last w eek in a 2-1 decision by a California federal appeals court. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that Washington's Higher Education Coordinating Board had breached Joshua Davey's First and 14th Amendment nghts by w ithdraw ­ ing a finance- and m erit-based Prom ise scholarship wheri he chose to study pastoral ministry di Northwest College. Davey, who also majored in business administration, sued the state for the $1,500 withheld from the $2,600 total originally aw ard ­ ed. Davey argued that he quali­ fied for the scholarship according to its conditions, which stipulat­ ed that recipients be ranked in the top 15 percent of their graduating class or si ore at least 1,200 on the SAT or 27 on the ACT, and have an annual family in co m e not su r passing 135 percent o f the state median — about $ 8 6 ,0 0 0 fo r a four-member family.

Anarchist group to in Austin for first By Patrick Timmons Daily Texan Staff nal group s, tne Ar prison activists, the Anarchist Black Cross, will meet in Austin for the first time this weekend. Anarchists work to bring a direct end to the state and are against prisons as a means to deal with crime. The group has not for­ mally met in North America since 1994. The conference seeks "to pro­ vide political and social prisoners with a network organization that can serve both as their defense and their voice," said Chris Plummer, a spokesman for the ABC. "Everything you hate in thi»’ world is magnified a thousand times in prison," said Plummer, who identifies himself as a former "political prisoner." Plummer has firsthand knowl­ edge of Texas prisons. He was released from prison six months ago after serving eight-and-a-half years of a 15-year sentence for non-aggravated assault. Plummer said he was jailed for a 1993 "direct action" that entailed breaking into a house in Houston belonging to the American Front Skins and Confederate Hammerskins, two neo-Nazi skinhead organizations. "You walk into prison an anti­ racist and an anti-fadst, you're not a very popular person," Plummer said. "So I had to learn how to fight." Plummer defines a political prisoner as "a person who goes to prison for their active partidpa- tion in movement politics." The ABC's vision of a sodety without prisons is not shared by Texas legislators. in "There the is nobody Legislature or government who * believes that prisons should be abolished," said William Spelman, a criminal justice expert at the LBJ School of Public Affairs. According to statistical projec­ tions by tne Criminal Justice Policy Coundl, Texas prisons will fbe at their maximum capadty of 147,683 by 2005. By 2007, Texas will need to create prison space for about 4,000 inmates. "We have a lot of alternatives to incarceration," said Tony Fabelo, executive diredor of tne CJPC. Fabelo named state jails and resi­ dential facilities as some of those alternatives. Since its inception in Russia in the early 20th century, the ABC has helped people imprisoned for their political activities and beliefs. After the Bolsheviks took power, the ABC worked from exile in European countries to free people imprisoned by the Soviet State. At this week's ABC meeting, former Black Panthers Lorenzo Komboa Ervin and Robert King Wilkerson will speak about the support free-world groups can provide to inmates. In the United States, anarchism was most important from the 1880s to the 1920s, said Rick Halpem, an expert in anarchist history and professor of American Studies at the University of Toronto, Canada. Halpem said anarchists have often been repressed because of misunder­ standings about their use of vio­ lence, which would seem to threaten social-democratic cur­ rents. Halpem said anarchism has become more prominent on the American left after the protests the World that accompanied Trade Organization meeting in Seattle in November 1999. Teacher union approves new standards for part-time faculty By Katherine Sayre Daily Texan Staff The American Federation of Teachers has approved a set of standards for part-time faculty at higher education institutions to ensure they are treated as equally as full-time faculty. the Employment The AFT, a teacher's labor union, released a report Monday titled "Standards of Good Practice of in Part-Time /Adjunct Faculty." According to the report, 43 per­ cent of college faculty are classi­ fied as part-time or adjunct, the majority of whom are paid less than $3,000 per course. The new standards in the report are divided into four areas: pay, employment, professional sup­ port and equal rights within unions. The report says part-time professors should receive propor­ tionate pay, an office with paid office hours, the right to express desired times and locations of their courses, and equal voting rights in teachers' unions. "A substantial percentage of part-time faculty that are making their living at part-time work, sometimes having more than one position, are not getting enough pay or benefits," said Craig Smith, spokesman for the AFT. said Smith treatment of part-time professors should also be changed because adjunct pro­ fessors often have classes added or cancelled from their schedules at the last minute. "That kind of professor treat­ ment is very disturbing," he said. the said Smith standards approved by the union will be used as guides for teachers' bar­ gaining contracts and by state leg­ islators creating new employment laws. and The University employs 2,162 full-time 820 faculty part-time faculty. The Office of Institutional Research does not differentiate between average salaries of part-time and full-time faculty. Steve Nelson, president of SureTec Insurance Company, has been an adjunct professor in the College of Engineering for three years. He said his treatment at the University is equal to that of other professors. "I'm treated like royalty as far as I'm concerned," said Nelson, who teaches legal issues to engi­ neering students. Nelson said universities hire adjunct professors because they offer specialized knowledge or possibly because universities are trying to stretch their funds. "The whole issue of benefits and salary is secondary to why you're having adjunct faculty," he said. The Texas Legislature has also investigated disparities between part-time and full-time profes­ sors. In the last legislative session, Rep. Norma Chavez, D-El Paso, authored a bill calling for a report on professors' incomes. The report was released Friday by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. the According report, to part-time university professors in Texas earn 54 percent of full-time professors' salaries. The cost of bringing all part-time faculty at four-year universities in Texas to salary parity with full-time facul­ ty would be $40 million. The report recommended that institutions qf higher education evaluate the employment and pay of part-time faculty to ensure they are treated fairly so they can, in turn, provide quality education to students.

He also urged Congress to pass legislation stiffening crim­ inal penalties for corporate wrongdoers, the m ain ingredient of his economic im provem ent plan. "One of the things we can do in Washington is get a corporate responsibility b ill passed, and I'm confident we w ill, w hich w ill take some of the risk out of the mar­ kets," Bush said. House M inority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., noted that stock market dips have now accompa­ nied Bush's economic comments three times in a row. "The president continues to speak — that isn't helping us. In fact if may be hurting us because what people want is action, not words," Gephardt the National Council of La Raza in Miam i Beach. told Bush said investors who bought bonds rather than stocks are doing w ell, but demurred when asked whether Americans should buy, sell or stand pat in stock markets. "I'm not a stock broker or a stock picker. But I do believe that the fundamentals for economic growth are real," he said. Bush has consistently expressed sympathy with hard-nit workers, even when the economy showed signs of recovery. And he was quick to demand reforms after the first corporate scandal, the col­ lapse of energy giant Erfton, a company w ith deep ties to Bush. Associates say Bush learned from his father — the former pres­ ident who lost re-election during the economic downturn of 1992 — that voters w ill punish politi­ cians who seem out of touch with their money problems. Asked whether the bankruptcy of WorldCom Inc. would hurt the markets, Bush replied, " I worry that people w ill lose work. But the market nas already, I suspect, has already anticipated tíre WorldCom decision." Bush said corporate profits are up, a trend that w ill increase the value of stocks and drive investors back into the market. "They're going to realize there [are] values in the market. In other words, if they buy stock, they're buying value, as opposed to buy­ ing into a bubble," Bush said. The president said that as an oilman in Texas, he was "some­ what skeptical about what was taking place on the floors of these exchanges. But I know — I always knew — that you needed to buy on value." " I believe the values are improving. I know the economics, the platform for growth, is in good shape. Inflation is low. Monetary policy is sound. Fiscal policy is sound. Productivity is up. Orders for durable goods are up," Bush said. Lance .lowers from St. Cloud, Fla., flies through the air as he comes off his horse during the saddle bronc competition at the 54th Annual National Hif^i School Finals Rodeo in Farmington, N.M., Monday. More than 1,500 cowboys and cowgirls are taking part in the week- long rodeo. Associated Press Threet eligible for parole in 10 years TRIAL, FROM 1 his girlfriend, tears filling his eyes. After the hearing, M inton said they were not surprised by the verdict. "The facts were obvious from the start," Minton said. "It's obvious this kid caused that boy's death." Because Threet pleaded guilty, he was found g u ilty of m anslaughter instead of m ur­ der. Threet w ill not be eligible for parole until half his sen­ tence is served. " I was hoping they [would sentence him to] somewhere [w ithin] 10 years," Minton said. "Keep in mind when we started this trial, the maximum sen­ tence was life." The district attorney was not available for comment.

Castañeda said that because athletes' academic requirements are inadequate, many athletes who meet the requirements still fail to graduate. "There's been such a bad record in graduation rates, espe­ cially in the high-profile sports," Castañeda said. , Demetrius Marlowe, president­ elect of the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics, said new standards may have both positive and nega­ tive consequences. "It allows the student in the university to be more accountable for progress," Marlowe said. Marlowe said there is no cer­ tainty that the proposals w ill be effective. "There's no way to tell if it's a good idea until we see the data he said. Marlowe said he thought the rules would be especially tough on students transferring from community colleges since they often don't know w hat four-war college they w ill attend. tively at ... the four-year schools they are looking at," Marlowe said. Chris Plonsky, U T senior asso­ ciate athletic director, said she did not think the U niversity necessar­ ily needed the new standards. "Our student-athletes have exceeded the proposed stan­ dards," she said. UT Athletics Director Deioss Dodds agreed but added that ini­ tial eligibility requirem ents should match continuing eligibil­ ity’ requirements so athletes won't be set up for failure. "It's im portant to increase "They will have to look proac both," Dodds said.

With the virtual silence of docu­ mentary films from main­ stream Hollywood, an “ unknown docum entarían” is about as common in Tinseltown as actors trading nightshifts at an eatery. Though, in his field h e ’s ■ an acclaimed and award-win­ ning master. His most recent release, 2000's G ra ss, was a smash success in arthous- es, a compelling docum en­ tary on the history of the drug war in America. Perhaps inspired by his recent career resurgence, Home Visio n Entertainment has ju s t released three other Mann documentary cla ssics on DVD. Twist, Comic Book ( Confidential and P o etry in M otion each highlight M ann’s affinity for documenting “ secret histories" for public consumption. In each docu­ mentary, Mann tells a story about a movement and the people working long hours to keep the movement on track. Twist (1992) show ers attention on the dance craze of the same name, blit does so in a way that translates into something greater. The Twist and dance crazes like it are revealed not sim ply as fads but as important h isto r­ ical movements. Through archival footage and inter­ view s, Twist is a powerful example of how som ething can seem incredibly sim ple but mean so much more. Attached to this DVD is an interview with Mann, the film's trailer and a wonderful­ ly entertaining instructional dance video called L e t’s Learn To Dance The Tw ist. This dance instruction fea­ ture was coincidentally made in Austin by local filmmaker Dan Brown. Comic Book C on fide n tial (1988) is the docum entary for anyone who felt Terry Z w igoffs Crumb was a bit too concise. Mann again empowers an international phenomenon, this time the world of comics, into som e­ thing much greater. Surveying everything from Marvel and DC Com ics to more cerebral work like M au s, Comic Book Confidential is first and fore­ most a com ic-lover’s dream. But more than that, it helps justify and explain the strength in this artform . The DVD features a great intro duction by indie filmmaker and comic book booster Kevin Smith. In addition, there is another interview with Mann on the m otivation behind the production. Poetry In M otion (1982) may not be the only d ocu ­ mentary on the Beat Generation of modern poets, but it stands as one of the greatest. In this film, Mann takes a look at ju st about every beat poet legend in the worid. Not only does he examine the conventional masters of the form (Ginsberg, Burroughs), he also stretches into more modern champions such as musician Tom Waits. Included in the DVD, along with Mann’s interview, is about an hour's worth of additional footage not in the film. The DVDs are available separately, and probably should be encountered in such a manner. Mann does possess a distinct style, one that’s intellectual and off­ beat, but perhaps more accessible than most docu­ mentary greats. While the DVDs are light on the spe cial features, the film s they contain are well worth the time and money, especially if you're hoping to build a strong nonfiction DVD collec tion over time. — M att D e ntler For more inform ation on Ron M ann and his films, visit his official Web site at www.sphinxproductions.com YOSHIMI BATTLES ★★★★☆ THE PINK ROBOTS artist The naming Lips label Warner Bros. The Flaming Lips have been together for nearly two decades, and they still manage to do some­ thing few bands with this kind of staying power can achieve. The group has not only matured, but have also gotten better with time. Whether only remembered for their lone Top 40 hit "She Don't Use Jelly" or followed for years, they provide modem music with the originality it seems to lack at times. With each album, they push the bounds with experimental sounds that help define them from other artists. The Flaming Lips' new release Yoshimi Battles the Pink their signature Robots mixes quirky incredibly rock with insightful and picturesque lyrics. Opening track "Fight Test" brings a strong start to the album. With the lyrics "I thought I was right/ I thought it better not to fight," the song speaks plainly, but beautifully, about missed oppor­ tunity and regret. The title track is a m ore tradi­ tional Lips song. It's broken into two d ifferen t so n g s w ith the premise of the first song being a girl who k n o w s karate and has to fight against "e v il m achines."

Their debut, Highly Evolved, is a crisp blend of raging noise rock and acoustic pop songs. It's tem­ pered by drugs, anger and wintry angst. And in the end, it leaves an irresistible impression of a band on the verge of making their own rules. At one moment haunting and delicate and in the next wonder­ fully chaotic, Highly Evolved runs wild inside your head. It's almost as if the album follows too strict a formula: song number one is loud, song number two is soft, song num ber three is loud, so on and so forth. W hat you get is a glam- inspired slumber in a subtle song like "A utum n Shade," only to be ripped wide aw ake by the "O uttathaw ay" and its turbulent use of layered vocals and guitars. In fact, first single "G et Free" m ay have m any thinking that The Vines are sim ply a new ver­ sion of The Hives. This is true, for a few songs, but after a listen to the album 's very next track, "C ou ntry Yard," you'd probably think they were sharing pints w ith Supergrass. So yes, while H ighly E volved is som ew h at derivative in style — they even Stone resem ble Temple Pilots on tracks such as "In The Ju ngle" — but it's a case of derivation that you're w illing to look beyond. an A u ssie More than showcasing brave new originality, Highly Evolved is simply a showcase of brave new talent. With the help of rock pro­ ducing giant Rob Schnapf (Beck, Foo Fighters), The Vines nave cre­ ated a memorable and sensational rock 'n' roll album. The Vines seem willing to evolve beyond the "new garage" trappings, if audiences will simply evolve with them. — Matt Dentler The Vines are scheduled to play Stubb’s on Friday. m ade the subm arine film he missed out on as Jack Ryan. However, like the workman he proclaim ed himself to be on Charlie Rose, there isn't really a perform ance bv him in K-19. Instead, it's a job, and perhaps that's why K-19 is so frustrating- ly average. For all the effort and cash poured into the film, k-19 is b e s t described the same way as the submarine referred to in the film's title — sturdy, firm and, ultimate­ ly, crushed under its own weight.

The songs sound a little weathered, a little stale. In addition, the fact that the band left these songs for dead a year ago leaves an awkward taste in your mouth the whole time. Many of the songs are just fine, but it seems as though the band decided to add too little polish to these dusty old tunes. Sometimes even when stuff isn't necessarily broken, it's good to fix it. — Matt Dentler sio n tdl* j g a y e an u ta w a s at h a n d sir sequen* im p n sM V t less N v jun COtlMXjU. w ork! d* i of the shq dramas because they riderstanding of w h at ke K-19, on the oth er mgs together actio n that are superficially but seem m eaning- . the action has no real a s or impact on the »>, h*ile or even the crew In artett rap id fire Washmgt. in Crmi*«*t> a feebi* dynam t* ? pi ay tf if clt*d and di that bt resolution Bigek m al outs d i tpting to recreate the rivalry of Denzel n and Gene Hackman dt Bigelow supplies version of the sam e u i ord and Neeson to vduch feels both recy- .mgenuous for reasons m dearer near K -19’s aJk “ gives herself sever- r mg the course of the film that prevent K-19 from being anything more than pedestrian.

Express fall to Swamp Dragons, 11-4 By Josh Graham-Chapman Daily Texan Staff ROUND ROCK — The Express squared off against the Shreveport Swamp Dragons Monday night in what was not only the final game of their five-game series, but the final game ever between the two franchises as Shreveport will be moving to Frisco, Texas, for the 2003 season. The Swamp Dragons may have been fueled by the threat of being swept and a dismal 2-13 record against the Express, because they took care of business and defeated the Express with ease 11-4. Round Rock starting pitcher Greg Miller, who is actually on the Houston Astros 40-man roster, faced the entire Shreveport lineup a lot faster than he would have liked. The first four batters of the first inning would all later cross home plate to give the Swamp Dragons a stout 4-0 lead after bat­ ting around to start the game. The Express needed two-and-a- third innings to bat their entire lineup, and they didn't get on the scoreboard until the fourth. With Shreveport up 5-0 at that point, Jason Alfaro's lead-off double (his 29th of the season) would provide the Express their first scoring opportunity. He would later score on a Mike Hill single to center field, but Hill was thrown out try­ ing to stretch his hit into a double. That quieted the crowd and the Express bats, as they left two run­ ners stranded in tne frame and trailed 5-1 after four innings of play. The Swamp Dragons' scrappy bats went to work again in their half of the fifth to expand the lead. They needed only six at-bats to score three runs, which were accented by first baseman Tim Flaherty's two-run home run — his fourth of the year. Flaherty had an outstanding offensive night, finishing 3-for-5 at the plate. He had three RBIs, a home run (a second one was robbed by Express left fielder Jon Topolski on a leaping catch over the left field wall) and a double. a little excitement as Hill led off with his 11th home run of the sea­ son. But in an attempt to rally and get themselves back in the game, the Express bats were again calmed, this time by a question­ able call. Michael Rosamond hit a grounder to the short stop, and as he crossed first base, it appeared the first baseman's foot may have been pulled off the bag by the throw. The umpire saw otherwise and called him out. Manager Jackie Moore rushed out to argue with the umpire for a few min­ utes, but when he returned to the dug out the call stood and the Express were still losing 8-3. The bottom of the sixth provided Shreveport tacked on three more runs in the seventh.to even­ tually make the lead insurmount­ able for Round Rock. The Express sent six batters to the plate in the ninth, but only managed to score one run on three nits. The Shreveport victory marked an end to their longest losing streak of the season. It also marked the end of the Round Rock six-game winning streak (their longest of the season). Greg Miller fell to 1-4 on the year after an outing that consisted of seven earned runs on eight hits in five innings pitched. Round Rock will face the San Antonio Missions tonight at 7:05 at Dell Diamond. Armstrong nearing another title BRIEFS Lance Arm strong, left, has a laugh with actor/com edian Robin W illiam s during a Tour de France rest day on Monday. The Tour resum es again Tuesday with Stage 15, For the fourth consecutive year, Armstrong pulling away late from Tour field Asscxiated P ress By The Associated Press in the overall standings. VAISON-LA-ROMAINE, France — Lance Armstrong is taking the suspense out of the Tour de France. For the fourth straight year, his rivals are stranded long before the finish. His early success is angering French fans and mining organizers' plans to make the Tour less predictable. But don't blame Armstrong: He's only doing his job. "It is what they pay me to do," the Texan said Sunday. "They say, 'Lance, we want you to win the Tour de France.' "I can't really concern myself with, 'Is it bad for the event?"' After Monday's rest day, six stages remained in the world's toughest cycling race, including three grueling stretches in the Alps. Nevertheless, a fourth consecutive title seemed easily within Armstrong's reach, thanks to his performance in the Pyrenees and ori the formidable Mont Ventoux. The U.S. Postal Service rider leads his biggest challenger, Joseba Beloki of the Once team, by nearly 4 minutes, 30 seconds Barring injury or illness, or a sudden and drastic loss of form, that advantage is likely to grow in the coming days. "Armstrong has shown he has the blood of champions flowing through his veins," Once team director, Manolo Saiz, told French daily Le Parisién. "He is much stronger than us, we see it day after day. "O f course, we wrill still do the maxi­ mum and hope Armstrong has an 'off' day," Saiz said. "But it would really have to be a big 'off' day for us to catch up." Tour organizers saved som e*of this year's toughest stages for last in a bid to make the race more suspenseful. In 2001, almost the whole final week was made up of flat stretches, in which rivals had nearly no chance of reducing Armstrong's lead. Mountain stages are often unpre­ dictable, but Armstrong looked so strong in the first three that a serious challenge in the Alps seems highly unlikely. He won the opening two mountain stages in the Pyrenees, finishing with a sprint both times. Although he didn't win Sunday's stage on Mont Ventoux, he made the fastest climb to the summit in Tour history. Frenchman Richard Virenque took the stage, but his victory had almost no impact on Armstrong's title bid. After the leg, Virenque was 10th overall, 13:12 behind Armstrong. Meanwhile, Beloki's deficit grew from 2:28 to 4:21. During Armstrong's incredible climb to the top, French fans fearing Virenque would be overtaken jeered the American, and some branded him a drug-user by shouting, "Dop-AY! Dop-AY!" ("Doped! Doped!"). Armstrong, who has never failed a drug test and repeatedly denied taking banned substances, said his four-year domination of the Tour was likely to blame for the fans' hostility. "Perhaps that's part of the reason the people are so angry on the climbs," he said. "They would rather have a new win­ ner ever)' year, a new winner every day, a constant evolution. "But I care too much about the event, T care too much about winning to factor that in." Associated P ress Arm strong receives a hand and som e words of encouragm ent from a Tour fan. Astros’ Miller continues mastery of Brewers By The Associated Press HOUSTON — Wade Miller pitched seven strong innings to Ix-at Milwaukee for die 10th'time the in 11 decisions, Houston Astros to a 3-1 victory over the Brewers Monday night. leading lost M ilwaukee its eighth straight game, its longest losing streak since an 11-gamer last July. Miller (7-3) retired 14 of the first 16 hitters and didn't allow a baserunner to advance past first base until the sixth inning. He allowed one run and six hits to improve his ERA to 2.63 lifetime against the Brewers. Brad Ausmus homered for fhé Astros, and Billy Wagner pitched the ninth for his 19th save in 23 chances. Glendon Rusch (5-10) gave up three runs and 10 hits in six. innings to take the loss. He 'struck out seven and w alked two. Houston took a 1-0 lead in the third when Rusch issued a bases- loaded walk to Jose Vizcaino with two outs. A single by Craig Biggio, a walk to Jeff Bagwell and an infield single by Richard Hidalgo loaded the bases for Vizcaino. The Astros increased their lead to 2-0 in the fourth, when Ausmus led off with his fourth home run of the season. Houston moved ahead 3D in the fifth after Lance Berkman led off with a double and scored on Bagwell's single. Milwaukee cut its deficit to 3-1 in the sixth when Paul Bako walked, moved to second on a sacrifice and scored on Eric Young's double. Notes: Houston's Octavio Dotel leads the major leagues in strikeouts by a reliever with 81. Hidalgo was in a l-for-17 skid before singling in the third inning. Milwaukee is 15-35 on the road.

Homs help in win aver Brazil The 2002 USA Basketball World Championship For Young Women Qualifying Team, aided by Texas forward Heather Schreiber and center Stacy Stephens, defeated Brazil 81-50 to win gold in the Confederation of Pan American Basketball Association Tournament on Sunday. In the championship game against the Brazilian team, Schreiber scored eight points and one rebound off the bench, while Stephens added two points and three rebounds in 10 minutes of play. "This is really hard to explain,” Schreiber said. “A gold medal is one of the biggest things you can win, because not very many people get to represent their country and win a gold medal while doing it. It was a great accomplishment for our team." “Every experience you go through helps you in the long run,” Stephens said. "Heather and I might not have gotten to play the most minutes, but we learned how to play a role. We knew our roles, got in there and did our job, and that's what a team is. When next year rolls around, you’ll have more respect for the people on your own team in those roles.” ‘Playboy’ to honor Ford Texas sophomore point guard T.J. Ford will be recognized as a member of the Playboy Preseason College Basketball All-America team this weekend, joining former Longhorn center Chris Mihm, who was selected for the 1999-2000 squad. In the 2001-02 season, Ford became the first freshman in NCAA history to lead the nation in assists with 8.27 per game, en route to being tabbed National Freshman of the Year by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. Ford, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, led Texas in steals (72) and minutes played (32.4 mpg), while ranking third on the team in scoring with 10.8 points per game.
