MADD pushing zero-tolerance policy for minors STAN ROSE/Dalty Texan Staff Coach John Mackovic lights mechanical engineering senior Sonny Mata’s candle. BRIAN BEARD_______________________ Daily Texan Staff O fficials of M others A gainst D runk D riving campaigned Tuesday for the "zero-tolerance" law to be introduced in the next legislative session, which if passed would make it illegal for Texans under 21 to drive w ith any detectable level of alcohol in their bloodstream. Under current law, drivers under 21 may legal­ ly drive with a blood-alcohol content of 0.07 per­ cent or less. The zero-tolerance law, if passed, would make the legal blood-alcohol content of drivers under 21 zero percent. MADD officials said at a Capitol news confer­ ence they also want the Legislature to lower the legal blood -alcohol content of drivers over 21 from 0.1 to 0.08 percent. Karrol Searcy, MADD state chairwoman, said in p ast sessio n s, "d e s p ite M A D D 's rep eated efforts, the Legislature has failed to pass law s which could deter drunk drivers and save lives." In 1995 Texas led the nation with 1,782 alcohol- related traffic fatalities, MADD officials said. The officials lent their support to the zero-toler­ ance proposal, written by a Senate interim commit­ tee, which would make any level of alcohol in the blood of a minor grounds for a DWI violation. They cited research indicating that most drivers with a 0.05 percent blood-alcohol content are "signif­ icantly impaired" and "virtually everybody" with a 0.08 percent BAC is impaired. A ccording to the Senate interim com m ittee's report, a 140-pound person who consumes two drinks in one hour has a BAC of 0.05 percent. But some UT students said they are skeptical of the zero-tolerance proposal. "I can drink a beer and still drive," said Ryan Golden, an English junior. "They're just trying to impose their moral new on people's lives." Supporters of the zero-tolerance proposal said m in o rs are m o re in e x p e rie n c e d d riv e rs and should follow stricter laws. But Michelle Mann, an undeclared business fresh­ man, said "If they're going to do it for people under 21, tiien they should do it for people over 21." If passed into law, the bill would potentially affect more than 18,000. UT students, who make up around 51 percent of the University's population. The Legislature is also under federal pressure to low er the legal BAC for underage drivers to 0.02 percent by 1998 or face a 5 percent cut in fed­ eral highway funding. Such a cut would cost Texas an estimated $38.4 million, the committee report states. Texas is one of 12 states that has not lowered the legal BAC for underage drivers to 0.02 percent or lower. Another suggestion by MADD leaders was that "sobriety checkpoints" be instituted across the state to randomly stop and test the BAC of drivers. "A youngster who knows he will go through a sobriety checkpoint will say 'maybe I oughtn't have that beer in the first place/" said Bill Lewis, state public policy liaison for MADD. But Don M cDavid, head of the Austin Police Department Traffic Office, said the issue “borders on the question of whether you're violating someone's rights." Thirteen students were arrested by the UT Police Department last year on charges of driving while intoxicated, while nine had been arrested through Sept. 17 of this year, UT police Capt. Silas Griggs said. "1 guess Texas is lenient in some w ays," said Marco Villegas, a biochemistry junior. “The best thing to do is to drink and stay home." returns from Associated Press BANGKOK, Thailand — P resident C linton singled out military-led Burma for criticism Tuesday as he closed a most­ ly positive 12-day Pacific trip filled with warm receptions and tours of ornate halls. Without stopping to sleep, Clinton dashed from a glitter­ ing state dinner to begin the long trip home. "H ave you ever seen anything like it? Unbelievable," the president marveled, putting his hand over his heart in won­ derment after touring the grounds of the Grand Palace His tone was tougher earlier, in a speech at Chulalongkom University, where he said the refusal o f Burm a's rulers to move toward dem ocracy and die regim e's involvem ent in narcotics "a re really two sides of the same coin, for both rep­ resent the absence of the rule of law ." The president praised "th e brave reformers in Burma led by Aung San Suu Kyi," the pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who has come under increasing pressure and harassment from the military. "E very nation has an interest in promoting true political dialogue in Burma — a dialogue that will lead to a real fight against crime, corruption and narcotics and a governm ent more acceptable to its people," Clinton said. Earlier mis year, the Canton administration banned visits to the United Stales by members of Burm a's military’ govern­ ment and their families.

Broadcast majors m ust pass an initial in ter­ view when declaring their major. M ich ael S ta rb ird , an a sso cia te d ean in th e C o lle g e of N atu ra l Sciences, said his college is feeling the stra in as w ell. A co m m itte e formed within the college hopes to have a solution by the end of the year, he said. "W e're fighting a battle of wantng to save ail interested people while try­ ing to consider a way to limit enroll­ m ent," Starbird said. "It's a major problem . W e're very relu ctant to exclude people because of that." But o th e r c o lle g e s sim p ly set enrollment limits to avoid the prob­ lem. The C o lle g e o f B u sin e ss and Adm inistration began a front-end ad m issions policy in 1991 w hich acts as an enrollment cap. The col­ lege establishes a 4,(XX) student goal for each year. This allows for 800 freshman, 200 internal transfers and 200 extern al tran sfer stud ents to enter each year. C u rre n tly , th e C o lle g e of B u sin ess and A d m in istra tio n enrolls 4,440 students. In addition to these measures, the UT O ffice of Admissions is trying to make undergraduate admissions more stringent. Last week, Bruce Walker, director of a d m issio n s, u n v eiled th e University's new' criteria for fresh­ man ad m issions. The policy will take more than test scores and class rank in to c o n s id e ra tio n wrhen admitting freshman students. The policy will require applicants to w rite three essays and provide in fo rm a tio n a b o u t th e ir b a c k ­ ground, in ad d ition to their SA T scores and grad e point averages. The new admissions process would give preference to the top 40 per­ cent of S.A.T. scores in the ap p li­ cant pool, rather than using criteria based largely on applicants' high school class rankings.

Evan C. H u n z ik er, 26, o f Tacoma, Wash., stepped off a U.S. Air Force jet at Yokota Air Base on the outskirts of Tokyo. He waved to the many reporters standing nearby, but didn't smile and ignored their shouted ques­ tions about how he felt. U.S. Rep.

B isse ll served 13 years as the prosecutor in fast-grow ing, pros­ perous Somerset County in central New Jersey. He was indicted in 1995 and fired the next day. He was convicted along with his wife, Barbara. Prosecutors said the couple skimmed about $146,000 from a gas station business from 1991 to 1994 without the knowledge of their partners. Much of the money was spent on a home, luxury cars, private schools for their two teen-age daugh­ ters, and the roulette w heels of Atlantic City, N.J. T h e abu se of pow er ch a rg e s alleged he improperly hid his inter­ est in two gas stations and had a business relationship with an attor­ n ey for crim in al d e fe n d a n ts. W itnesses also said Bissell threat­ ened to plant cocaine in a gasoline supplier's car. On the stand, Bissell denied the accusations. U.S. District Judge Alfred J. Lechner Jr. initially denied bail after Bissell's conviction, saying he did not trust the former prosecutor. However, Bissell was freed to await sentencing under house arrest after a psychiatric evalua­ tion suggested he would not flee and was not suicidal. In May, Bissell collected $47,000 from h is p e n sio n acco u n t d ays before he was convicted. Last sum­ m er, his wife discovered he was selling china, crystal and furniture from their home. Her lawyer said Bissell told his wife he was dispos­ ing of p o ssessio n s becau se they were going to prison. "It surprises me that he ate his own gun. I never thought he'd do it," said James Giuffre, a suspected drug d e a le r w h o se claim th a t Bissell tried to sh ak e him dow n helped lead to Bissell's indictment. "H e must have ju st decided that being in jail for 10 years and com­ ing out with nothing after every­ thing he's put his family through, I guess it was m ore than he could handle." Bissell liked to handle the big cases and it was he who presented charges to a grand jury in 1995 that "Frasier" star Kelsey Grammer had sexually assaulted a teen-ager. The grand jury refused to indict Grammer. He developed a national reputa­ tion for his use of forfeiture law to confiscate drug defendants' assets before trial. He was just as likely to seize property from a sm all-tim e dealer as the leader of a multimil- lion-dollar ring. Those forfeitures generated enor­ mous amounts of money for his office. But Bissell's tactics came to the atten­ tion of federal investigators. Bissell and the Franklin Township Police Department had feuded for years, beginning in 1990 when Bissell pursued the indictment of five officers for allegedly beating a black motorist. f1|Bjssell tried the cases himself, and all were acquitted. In 1991, B isse ll to o k o v er the department's detective bureau and referred to township police as "cry ­ babies, boneheads and jerks." A fter B issell fled , the d e p a rt­ m en t's o fficers u nion had pu t a $1,000 bounty on him.

Nicholas Bissell, who was con­ victed of skimming $146,000 from his business to live a life of gam ­ bling and luxury, stuck a gun in his mouth and fired as officers tried to talk him into surrendering, m ar­ shals said. The new s stu n n ed th o se w ho remembered him as a brash, often arrogant crimefighter proud of the millions in assets his office seized in drug cases. Bissell, 49, had vanished on Nov. 18 while under house arrest, cu t­ ting off his electronic m onitoring bracelet and leaving it on a kitchen counter along with what was char­ acterized as a su icid e note. T he contents were not disclosed. He fled just two days before he w as to be se n te n ce d for fra u d , abuse of power and other charges for which prosecutors planned to ask for a 10-year sentence. In going on the run, he forfeited his $300,000 bail — risking his own m o th er's co n d o m in iu m , w hich had b ee n used to secure his bond. Federal au th o rities w ould n o t say how he was tracked down at the C olorad o B elle Hotel in this gam bling town of 8,000 about 90 miles from Las Vegas. His green Jeep Cherokee was found nearby, with license plates that had been stolen in Kentucky. Four deputy m arshals and tw o police officers knocked on Bissell's door, then kicked it in, said Jim Um bach, deputy U.S. m arshal in Phoenix. Bissell put a gun to his head but lowered it as marshals tried to negotiate with him, Umbach said. ''T hey said, 'W e 'll take you in. There doesn't need to be any prob­ lems,"' Umbach said. "They talked to him about his family and friends and people who care about him. ... Finally after about 10 minutes, he put the gun in his mouth and fired." It was not im m ediately known w here he had been in the eig h t days he was on the run. One source who spoke on condi­ tion of anonymity said Bissell had been staying at the Colorado Belle for three days and apparently had not been gambling enough to war­ rant any VIP treatment. The source said he apparently was holed up in his room most of the time. Detective Tom Ball said Bissell had a couple hundred dollars in his wallet.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Avis owner aims to end franchise beleaguered with bias complaints Associated Press could hurt Avis. RALEIGH, N.C. — The new owner of A vis R ent-A -Car m oved T u e sd a y to sever all ties with a franchise ow ner accused of denying rentals to black cus­ tomers. A vis and New Hanover Rent-A-Car were nam ed in a class-action law suit filed earlier this month in U.S. District C ourt in W ilm ington by three black w om en w ho sa id they w ere d en ied rentals. The franchise is owned by John D alton and h as outlets in N orth and South Carolina. H FS Inc., w hich acq u ired A v is on Oct. 17, said it instructed Avis to take steps to term inate D alton 's franchise. Henry Silverm an, HFS chairm an and chief executive officer, said he did not know if the lawsuit has merit, but there w as “ e n o u g h s m o k e " that the case HFS of Parsippany, N.J., said it hired a law firm to make sure Avis franchises were complying with civil rights laws. A fter the class-actio n law suit w as filed, Dalton said the accusations against him were ridiculous. A statement read Tuesday by his attorney said the move to terminate his franchise w as unfair. A t a n ew s co n feren ce earlier this month, former Dalton employees said they were ordered to find w ays to deny rentals to blacks. Attorneys for the plaintiffs Tuesday released affid av its from three former A vis em ployees to support their con­ tention that A vis execu tives ignored complaints about Dalton. The co m p lain ts w ere d iscu sse d at meetings with management, forwarded to corporate headquarters from the cus­ tom er serv ice d ep artm en t and even raised at a 1994 employee shareholder meeting, the affidavits said. “ It w as very frustrating to work on a complaint from John Dalton franchises b e cau se I knew that no m atter how h ard I tried to re so lv e the prob lem nothing would ever get accomplished," former employee Carolyn Williams said in an affidavit. Williams worked for Avis from 1985 to 1992 in Tulsa, Okla., and spent much of that time handling custom er com ­ plaints. Carlett F. W ilson, who w orked for A v is from A u g u st 1988 u n til th is month, said she w as part of an employ­ ee group that met regularly with man­ agement to discuss problems. The com­ plaints about Dalton franchises came up at least three times, in 1989 or 1990, when top executives were present, she said. | T h e D a i l y T e x a n WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27,1886 3 Contras deny CIA-narcotic allegations Associated Press W ASHINGTON — The former “ Com m ander Zero" of the N icaraguan resistance told Senate investigators Tuesday he was unaware a financial backer earned his money by selling crack cocaine in California. "O n ly when he w as arrested in San D ieg o " did he know, the Contra leader, Eden Pastora, said of O scar Dando Blandón, who has acknowledged trafficking in drugs. P astora and a co m rad e in the re sista n ce , A d o lfo Calero, dism issed rumors that the CIA had supported or w inked at d ru g traffickin g as a source o f m oney to finance the war against the left-leaning Nicaraguan gov­ ernment in the 1980s. “ It is preposterous ... unfounded, ridiculous, absurd," said Calero, a Notre Dame-educated businessm an who ran a Coca-Cola bottling plant in N icaragua before giv­ ing it up to become commander in chief of the Contras. Asked whether he knew of any CIA involvement in drugs, Calero replied: “ Never. I have a very high opin­ ion of the CIA people I dealt with. ... They seemed to be God-fearing family men, dedicated to the cause." Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Intelligence Committee, convened the hearing to examine reports in the San Jose Mercury News that the proliferation of crack cocaine in the United States in the 1980s could be traced to two Nicaraguan dealers who worked with the Con­ tras. Those stories have led to rumors, denied in Washing­ ton, that the CIA either supported the drug trafficking as a fund-raising mechanism for the Contras or did noth­ ing to stop it. The rum ors gained special attention in black communities, many of which have been hit hard by crack use. Specter said one of the drug dealers, Blandón, had told the committee in a closed session Monday that he w as recruited in 1981 by Norwin Meneses to sell cocaine in California in order to raise money for the Contras. Pastora acknowledged having met Blandón three or four times in the 1980s and accepted $6,000 from Bland- on for the Contras and two used pickup trucks for his p e rso n a l use. B lan d ó n , a cco rd in g to S p ecter, a lso allowed Pastora the use of a home in Costa Rica. Did Pastora know Blandón was a drug dealer? Specter a%ked. “ I did not know he w as a drug trafficker, byt I did know him as a good friend," Pastora replied. Pastora said he w as unaware of Meneses' reputation in N icaragua as a drug dealer because he had left the country in 1967, w as involved in two guerrilla conflicts and only returned in 1990. C alero said he never knew Blandón and only m et M eneses a couple times in San Francisco. “ I had no idea he w as engaged in d ru g traffick in g," C alero said of Meneses. "H e never gave a cent" to the Contras. NEWS BRIEFS Czech president to undergo lung surgery ■ PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Presi­ d e n t V aclav H a v e l w ill u n d e rg o surgery next week for a lung ailment, but officials in his office said Tuesday he is in good spirits and is w orking from his hospital room.

EDITORIALS Showing respect Aggies should laud Longhorn achievements before the big game For fret, confidential help m jV " I M t o » , » fry CALI 4 17 l l H C l A l L IL| The Battalion wants to break the trend of negative and ugly editorials by focusing on the accomplishments of our rivals at texas university. We should show that the schools can work together w ith m utual respect. For example, the chancellor of the texas university system sends his son to Texas A&M, show ing objectivity when considering the quality of high­ er education. In return for this compliment, The Battalion w ould like to point out some of the fine things that come from t.u. (even if very few of them focus on aca­ demic achievement). To start, the Cowboys should be commended for efforts to teach aspir­ ing pranksters the importance of knowing how to swim. But the foot­ ball team has taken the lead in com­ munity service. Last year in a pilot pro­ gram, the team invited a new type of college player onto the field. The first to take advantage of the program had N T y M ichael J L l L andauer BATTALION EDITOR never succeeded in his five years of previous college football, but through the “Assume a False Nam e and Play" program, he w as given a second chance to sit on the sidelines of college football. Perhaps the greatest contributions t.u. has given the state this year are in the legal sense, including the disas­ trous Hopwood case. In another legal event, a creative Aggie w ho goes to law school at t.u. filed an open-records request for t.u.'s playbook. [Editor's note: Michael Kelley is a graduate stu­ dent at the LBJ School of Public Affairs, not the Law School.] The stu­ dent newspaper, the daily toxin, in an effort to be cute since it is no longer taken seriously, requested A&M's playbook. N ow here The Battalion must digress. It is strongly suspected that A&M does­ n't have a book per s e — perhaps a note card. But if the toxin is really curious, here's a clue: Look for the third-and- eighteen quarterback sneak. In terms of showing respect for for­ mer Southwest Conference schools, texas also has led the way. Last week, a Rice professor urged texas students to help defeat the Aggie Band in ESP­ N's virtual band tournament. [Editor's note: Bev Blackwood is not a professor at Rice University; he is a systems ana­ lyst. We also never condoned voting against A&M. We only published his Firing Line.] In causing the defeat, t- sips learned something about them­ selves: If they listen closely to people w ho are more intelligent than them­ selves and succumb to these people's wishes, they CAN accomplish som e­ thing. This is surely a lesson they will take with them throughout life. And w e can't forget last year's little squabble at the end of the game. The victory gave w ay to the greatest dis­ play of childish idiocy the fans at Kyle Field had ever seen as t-sips stumbled onto the field. When the police asked the Corps to help keep the drunken, rowdy fans in line they didn't realize that for som e it w ould take force. For sober, civilized people, police and verbal warnings w ould have been enough. In an age where our schools have h uge and diverse student popula­ tions, it w as nice to h ave texas' actions serve as a reminder that som e things n ever change. A ggies w ill alw ays have respect for others, but t- sips never will. It's what separates hum ans from beasts, and the A ggies from the longhorns. Michael Landauer is the Editor in Chief of The Battalion. He is not bitter.

FIRING LINE An accurate account of the discovery of the bizzare species Barely sapiens Since the U niversity is the Southw est7 s pre-em i nen t research institution, I request your taxonom ic assistance. W hile collecting biological sam ples in the salt m arshes and sw am ps of East Texas, I encoun­ tered a creature quite astonishing and som ew hat ter­ rifying. O ne quiet evening, I observed a dark shape slink­ in g silently through the murk. At first, I m istook it for a m o ssy log or clum p of m ud. But as it approached, I realized it w as animate. Suddenly, w ith a raspy voice less hum an than bestial, it spoke. "G iggum , giggum " it gurgled. I sat still as stone, letting it slither forward. Final­ ly, I couldn't endure the suspense. Stepping forward and ign iting m y lantern, I called to it. Startled, it screamed and broke for the shadow s. But h avin g anticipated such a m ove, I snared the strange anim al in a net I em ploy to study w aterfow l. D esp ite the creature's small stature and em aciated fram e, it w a s not w ithout great difficulty that I im p rison ed the slippery beast. Finally, I brought m y light to bear on its disquiet­ in g visage. It w as horrifying. While containing all elem en ts o f the countenance of H om o sapiens, its face w a s so w ithered and m onstrously disfigured it w a s nearly unrecognizable. I surm ised I had cap­ tured a su b-sp ecies of the human race, not a eiant like the Sasquatch or Yeti, but shrunken — perhaps a g n o m e or sm all troll. Then, to m y terror, it addressed me. "N ice master," it cooed, "unties us, giggum . Lets us g o back to nice cool waters." "N ot before you tell m e what you are," I replied. D avid B arranco_______ TEXAN COLUMNIST Reluctantly, the w izened creature agreed to answer a few inquiries in exchange for my extinguishing the light, w hich embarrassed it by exposing its defects and ugliness. The m onster explained it had been w andering the m arshes ever since destiny rudely halted its dream of w inning the final Southwest Conference cham pionship. "Do you m ean w h en trie Longhorns w on on Kyle Field, ending the so-called w inning streak and cap­ turing the SWC's final victory in dramatic fashion, as befitting Texas' greatest traditional athletic pow er­ house?" "No!" he w ailed "Don't talk about it. N asty Long- hom ses! We hates them! They hurts poor aggies!" I felt sorry for a creature so robbed of dignity. I suggested that his knidred m ight som eday revenge the loss. "No," it w him pered, "We've lost too m any games. Even if w e w in, w e don't go to the Big T w elve title game." "You m ean like w hen you lost to Southwestern Louisiana?" I asked. Through a river of thick, m ucousy tears, it sobbed, "H ulabalooooo, hullabaloo-hoo-hoo." It w as clear the m isbegotten w retch w as the sp aw n of a little-know n College Station cult — a vile place reputed to venerate deforestation, hum ping and terrorizing adolescent "cadets," animal h us­ bandry and other taboos long since forsaken by the race of Adam . Perhaps the alleged animal h us­ bandry explains the creature's origin — is it the product of such an ungodly union? M y speculation w as cut short w hen, w ith inhu­ man speed, the creature plunged its free hand into the m arsh and pulled out a small aquatic rodent. W ithout hesitation, the foul being bit off the rat's head and began to m unch despondently on its skull. As it fed, I asked w hom it blam ed for its m isfortunes. Was it Greg Hill and Co.'s indiscretions, and the resulting N C A A sanctions? Was it the inevitable decline of an institution controlled by em barrassing­ ly conservative figures like failed gubernatorial can­ didate Clayton Williams? Was it just foolishness? "Slocum, slocum," it angrily slobbered, a canni­ balistic glare in its eye. At this point, m y scientific interest w as overcom e by m y pity. I cut the creature's restraints and backed away. It began to skulk toward the darkness. Then it stopped and looked up at me, as if surprised I had­ n't severely beaten it w hile it w as pow erless, as crea­ tures of its kind reportedly are apt. For a moment, I considered rem inding it that the A ggies w ere com ­ ing to A ustin to yet again try to beat Texas. But I ascertained from its hopeless, defensive posture that it already knew. Instead, I raised my hand in parting to the bizarre miscreant and watched it crawl back in to the filth, condem ned by its blind allegiance for yet another season.

In fact, Students for A fford able E d ucation supports elim inating m ost of the benefits that SG represen tatives receive. We also believe that many m em ­ bers of the Student Governm ent are guilty of gross m isappropria­ tion of funds.

We fully su pport T sai' s effo rts to establish a student fee oversight com m ittee, and believe its power should be expanded beyond its current advisory role. As for student loans, these in no way low er the overall costs of ed u ­ cation. In fact, every dollar that the governm ent loans com es out of the p ockets o f a taxpayer. U n lik e Pugh, many of us are forced to w ork our w ay through college, and every dollar taken aw ay from us in taxes represents m ore tim e we must spend at work to m ake ends meet. Thus tem p o rarily decrease the costs of Pugh's ed u ­ cation, but only at the expense of other students who must balance work and school. loans may Finally, Pugh seems to believe that the members of Students for Affordable Education somehow per­ sonally benefit by spending hun­ dreds of hours passing out petitions, and thousands of dollars of our OWN money fighting waste and corruption. Unlike the organizations we oppose (USPIRG) we receive no support from a national organiza­ tion, and our labors will not earn us internships with Ralph Nader in California during the summer. We work hard because we believe in our hearts that the University of Texas must strive to become and remain the best education for the dollar in the nation.

As an example of an ethical lapse, Rather said as a student in the 1950s at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville he worked his way through college by interviewing students on campus about tobacco prod­ ucts for Chesterfield cigarettes. He said he filled out the questionnaires and kept the free sam ples because he needed the money and because the job became too time-consuming. "My choice was to give up the job or to cheat," Rather said. "I'm sorry to say, I cheated." Along with the Chesterfield indiscretion, Rather list­ ed a few other ethical entanglements in his career. Some, he said, still hound him. We shall fail sometimes," Rather said. "As journal­ ists we are mortals. I have flawed ethically and miser­ ably, and often." Rather's lecture was the second in a two-part series. It was simulcast to students at Sam Houston State, where he earned a journalism degree. Rafiver's first lecture was simulcast from Sam Houston State on Monday. Rather said that, as a reporter in Houston during the 1960s, he was confronted with another dilemma. Sev­ eral business leaders urged Rather and a group of reporters to ignore the burgeoning civil rights move­ ment in the city, he said. But Rather said he refused to censor himself. "Houston did learn about the sit-ins and Dr. Martin Luther King," Rather said. "They learned about them and from them." Rather also told the audience of mostly journalism stu­ dents not to sacrifice their dignity, but he acknowledged that journalists sometimes junk dignity for ratings. He said the desire for high ratings sometimes altered his focus on truth and ethics. "There are times covering the O.J. Simpson trial when I wanted to take a bath," Rather said. "I had to suffer through the O.J. Simpson garbage to keep my job." Like other reporters, Rather said, he has to weigh ethics with job security every day. 6 T h e D a i l y T e x a n W H W B M Y , N 0 V B M B f f l g 7 , 1 9 8 8 Bus route to improve Officials propose minor Campus Loop changes, new schedules, more buses AMY STRAHAN_____________ Daffy Texan Staff After months of student complaints about bus service on the Campus Loop route, a Capital Metro official promised minor improvements Tuesday. The changes will precede further talks between Capital Metro Transit Authority and the UT Shuttle Bus Committee to decide how and whether to continue the Campus Loop. The Campus Loop replaced the old 40 Acres and East Campus routes in August. "We're proposing minor changes to the schedules on some routes and potentially adding buses to the Campus Loop," said Joseph Richmond, coordinator of UT services for Capital Metro. The proposal must receive approval from David Kapalko, director of UT Parking and Traffic, before it is ratified by the Shuttle Bus Committee. Richmond said Capital Metro's evaluation of the route's performance has been ongoing since October, after students expressed dissatisfaction with the Campus Loop. The results of an SG survey completed by 132 students indicated that the majority of students were dissatisfied with the Campus Loop. "The campus survey mirrored what we found from our observations on the street," Richmond said. He added that he will work with SG President Jeff Tsai and the committee to make more improvements. "These are minor changes. We're going to work with him in the spring for others," he said. Tsai said he plans to conduct a larger student survey this spring before making any proposals to the Shuttle Bus Committee for more drastic changes. Tsai said he hopes the survey will include responses from about 6,000 stu­ dents. "What I want to see is die result of these changes and make another determination this spring," Tsai said. The Capital Metro survey showed that complaints about late buses were die most common, Richmond said. Students riding the Campus Loop Tuesday said they were frustrated with the current service on the route. ^ "They don't come as often as the 40 Acres used to," said Chris Walk, a management information systems senior. Walk, who said he rides die Campus Loop every day, said the changes would provide welcome relief. "One more bus would help tremendously," he said. Felicity Smulien, a psychology freshman, said she gener­ ally spends 15 minutes or more waiting for the Campus Loop buses. Many students surveyed complained that drivers took breaks at inopportune times, occasionally making them late for class. "I've never been on the freakin' bus when they haven't done that," said Dipa Hadler, a biology freshman, as the bus driver announced a 10-minute break in the middle of the route. Hadler said she preferred the old 40 Acres route to the Campus Loop. STAN RO SE/Daily Texan Staff Dan Rather and UT President Robert Berdahl at the Lady Bird Johnson room in the CMA. Berdahl introduced the CBS anchor before his lecture to journalism students Tuesday. 'There are times when I want to go in and tell them to go to hell, tell them to stuff it," Rather said. "But I tell myself I'd like to die a hero, but am I willing to die in this ditch?" UT President Robert Berdahl, who introduced Rather, called the anchor "a moral man in an immoral society." "Is it possible to absolutely always be moral?" Berdahl asked. "No. Not unless you are God. A moral life is an examined life. Ethics are tough. They are not easy and not clear-cut." David Terraso, a radio-television-film senior, said Rather's lecture convinced him that journalists should follow ethical standards. "But whether he convinced me that he practiced what he preaches, that's a little more doubtful," Terraso said. George Sylvie, a professor of journalism, said it seemed Rather was trying to tell the audience some­ thing but Sylvie was not sure what. "Well yeah, Dan Rather had problems with ethics as a kid, but don't we all," Sylvie said. Bridge triggers traffic hassle, but architectural innovation N1CHOLASA WAGGONER Daily Texan Staff Even though many students only view the U.S. Highway 183 overpass under construction at 1-35 as a com­ muting hassle, researchers at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus consider the bridge an engineering advancement. Studies at the cam pus have been influential in the design of the overpass, which has been used only in a handful of bridges throughout the country and consist of a series of Y-shaped pillars. The five-year construction of the bridge has cost $71.3 m illion. The result is an arch itecturally unique overpass for a relatively low cost, said Dean Van Landuyt, the overpass's lead design engineer and a 1982 UT alumnus. "Texas is by far on the forefront with bridge aesthetics," Van Landuyt said. This type of structure was first intro­ duced in the United States in Corpus C hristi with the build in g of the Kennedy Bridge. Only about 1,000 of the bridges, which use special segmen­ tal construction to in crease their strength, have been built throughout the country, Van Landuyt said. The key to the bridge's construction is that the Y-shaped pillars supporting it are perfectly matched, allowing workers to fasten the bridge together with epoxy upon completion, he said. "The result is a rather attractive Y- shaped pier," said Ned Burns, a UT architectural engineering professor. The 3,332 150-ton segments compos­ ing the bridge are made to form symetrical pairs. These are connected on either side of a central structure called the pier, Burns said. But some members of the Austin community said they do not trust a bridge held together with epoxy. Dana Lockwood, an architectural engineering sophomore, said she was surprised when approached by some senior citizens who said they will not drive on the bridge. Despite Lockwood's explanation of how the structure works, they refused to trust the scale models used in test­ ing for fear of the structure's collapse. But research ers at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus said the bridge's design is perfectly safe based on exten­ sive testing of scale models. The testin g allow s en gin eers to determine if the structure will with­ stand heavy loads during peak traffic hours. An ad d itio n al concern for the researchers was how to find the most cost-effective method of construction while not sacrificin g safety, Burns said. Although the bridge segments are bonded only at the joints, steel rods within the concrete absorb heavy pres­ sure from traffic, which would crum­ ble the concrete otherwise. CAMPUS NOTEBOOK Convicts may get college scholarships ■ GAINESVILLE, Ha. — Fol­ lowing through on a $400,000 appropriation from the Florida Legislature, the state's Depart­ ment of Corrections is creating a program to offer community col­ lege scholarships to female and minority felons. The scholarship recipients will be aw arded the sch olarsh ip s based on demonstrated educa­ tional interests, Reeves said. "They want to rejoin society and become self-sufficient peo­ p le," said Rodney Reeves, an o fficial at the State Board of Community Colleges. "There's a plethora of educational opportu­ nities for everybody." But not everyone is optimistic about the proposal. Brew ser Brown, a spokesman for Com­ m issioner of Education Frank Brogan, said his office is looking to reclaim some of the money for a need-based scholarship pro­ gram. "W e don't want to discrim i­ nate against people who commit­ ted no crimes," Brown said. Yale continues fight against grad student union ■ NEW H A VEN , Conn. — Yale University will fight a recent National Labor Relations Board decision as far as necessary to avoid recognizing teaching assis­ tants as em ployees, President Richard Levin said Monday. The NLRB filed a com plaint this week against Yale, charging the university with violating fed­ eral labor law in its treatment of teaching assistants during last winter's grade strike. "We will try to make the case ... that we d o n 't b eliev e that gradu ate stu dents should be regarded as employees," Levin said. " It could go to several stages."

Associated Press T he D aily T exan Wednesday, November 27, 1996 Page 7 Procedures at UTMB criticized by employees "That's and battery," GALVESTON — Hospital and police officials are investigating claims by employees at the University of Texas Med­ ical Branch that patients are often subjected to countless needless procedures, the Hous­ ton Chronicle reported Tuesday. assault said Stephanie Hohman, a registered nurse who recently quit UTMB after three years because of controversy over trauma service practices. She and other UTMB em ployees, past and present, told the Chronicle that surgi­ cal residents, interns and medical students w ho m ake up traum a team s routinely force nasogastric tubes (those inserted into the stom ach via the nose), urinary catheters and intravenous needles into patients w ho have exercised their legal right to refuse treatm ent. H ohm an and others said traum a teams do so on patients w ho clearly have suf­ fered no serious traum a and whose blood pressure, heart rates, speech and mental abilities are normal. "It's cookbook m edicine," one uniden­ tified em ployee told the Chronicle. "They do tw o large-bore intravenous needles, a nasogastric tube, a Foley catheter and a rectal exam to 98 percent of the 'traum a' patients w hether they need it or not, w ith­ out even really looking at the patient." Debra Krupa, a UTMB Life Flight nurse for four years and registered nurse for 13 years, said she has been losing so much sleep over the traum a service turmoil that Thanks­ giving Day will be her last on the job. "Theie's so much impropriety going on and the administration just doesn't really seem to care w hat's right and w hat's wrong," said Krupa. "They just don't w ant perceptions to be bad. It doesn't really mat­ ter to them if there is blatant disregard for patient rights or for patients being abused." Unnecessary procedures result in high m edical bills. "They are treating people as traum a patients w ho w ould not be treated as trau ­ ma evaluations in any other traum a center in Texas," said one worker w ho asked not to be identified for fear of dismissal. UTMB spokeswoman Jill Scoggins told the Chronicle: "The fact is that UTMB adminis­ trators learned of these concerns weeks ago and have been investigating them." Scoggins said that the nurses' com ­ plaints have not been ignored. adm inistrators into traum a service care. In a prepared statem ent released to the Chronicle, Scoggins said the traum a ser­ vice "h as developed protocols that follow the standards of care outlined by the A m erican College of Surgeons." When questioned about the allegations Tuesday, Scoggins told The Associated Press that the hospital would have no immediate comment. However, she said Richardson w ould be available to talk to reporters and make a statement Wednesday. Joyce Keating, an attorney for Hohman and one current UTMB employee, said she is preparing a lawsuit against the hospital. She will be fUing the compliant under the whistleblower act within a week. Em ployees' com plaints led to angry debate from em ergency services nursing staff during at least one UTMB ethics com­ m ittee "round-table discussion" in early August, the Chronicle reported. In that meeting, Hohman challenged a superior's opinion on when patients legally can refuse treatment. She was suspended days later for alleged unprofessional conduct. She said the suspension w as revoked after she filed a grievance. Some current and former nurses have filed complaints with the Texas Board of Nurse Examiners, the Texas Board of Medical Exam­ iners and the Texas Department of Health. H ohm an and one other nurse filed crim inal com plaints w ith UTMB police in late A ugust about several instances, said Keating of H ouston. "The police said they w ould investigate b u t w e h a v e n 't heard an yth ing from them ," Keating said. The UTMB police departm ent, although com m issioned police officers, are em ploy­ ees of the hospital. UTMB Police Chief Charles Brown on M onday refused to release the complaint to the C h ro n ic le . A call to Brown on Tuesday by the AP was referred back to hospital officials. Nurses maintained that the state Nurse Practice Act requires them to be advocates for patients. They said their concerns were ignored. "If patients are com petent, awake, alert and oriented, and they refuse a procedure — even if they m ight need it — you can't touch them, "said Lisa Lippert, another nurse w ho quit UTMB this m onth after three years in the traum a service. "It's bat­ tery. You're legally obligated to prevent that kind of thing." She said the hospital's m edical director, Dr. Joan Richardson, will get an oral report on Dec. 20 on the investigation by Because of federal confidentiality laws, the Chronicle could not get nam es of spe­ cific patients to discuss the allegations. elick into the The Aggie Law Students Association practices its cheer in the Law School Building’s courtyard for the football game.

Linares was questioned for more than two hours by the three-member Texas Lottery Com­ mission about how Mike Moeller, a friend and former boss of hers at the Texas D epartm ent of Agriculture, got a $30,000 consulting job with GTECH Holding Corp. in 1992. The contract was awarded to Moeller just months after the Rhode Island company won a five-year contract to run the Texas Lottery. Moeller is currently serving time in a federal prison in a case stemming from his work with the Agriculture Department. ing included: ■ M oeller's contract w ith GTECH listed a New Mexico address belonging to a cousin of Linares. ■ Linares took a trip last year to Santa Fe, N.M., w ith Moeller and Lena Guerrero, a lob­ byist for Dittler Bros., the Texas Lottery's instant ticket m anufacturer. “ Ms. Linares has been consistently an advo­ cate for GTECH and its perform ance,” Texas Lottery C om m ission chairw om an H arriet Miers told reporters after the meeting. “ I w ould hope it's been based on objective criteria. But that is obviously an issue that this commission has to look at as to w hether there w ould be any other motives and w e will be looking at that issue." Miers said she wouldn't comment on her con­ fidence in Linares to continue as executive direc­ tor until more information from GTECH regard­ ing Moeller's contract was made available. GTECH officials told the commission Tues­ day that they w ere still investigating exactly w hat M oeller did for them. They said they disagree with M oeller's hir­ ing and blam e it on a former executive who has since been convicted on federal charges in N ew Jersey of defrauding GTECH in a kick- back scheme. GTECH recently had its 1992 contract to run the lottery extended for another five years w ithout a rebidding process. Ms. Linares has said her decisions regarding the company were based on its performance. She declined com­ ment to reporters after the hearing Tuesday. Want Ads 20 WORDS 5 DAYS $ * ■ !

Associated Press Two of four charges against Col. Jam es A. M axw ell, the former 17th Training Wing commander at Goodfel- low Air Force Base near San Angelo, w ere th row n out by the C ou rt of A ppeals of the Arm ed Forces last week. The appellate court also set aside the original sentence, which was dismissal from the Air Force. That would elimi­ nate his pension, estimated at $1 million. "Essentially, we are in a position of just having to review the decision," said Lt. C ol. Frank J. S p in n er, Maxwell's attorney. "It will probably take another month or two to sort all of that out." M axw ell, 52 and now liv in g in Waco, chose not to comment. The court threw out charges relat­ ed to use of indecent language, which Spinner had challenged, saying they involved illegal search and seizure. "E lectronic mail communications were beyond the scope of the w ar­ rant," he said. Maxwell also had sim­ ilarly appealed tw o pornograph y charges, which were upheld. Maxwell could face a lesser penalty if he is resentenced, although there's also a chance he'll continue fighting the entire case to the U.S. Suprem e Court, Spinner said. eralized, constitutional guaranteed expectation of privacy for [online] communications. ” — Jone Peterson, AM* Force prosecutor "I'd like to think that we still can [do both], but I've got to do som e re sea rch ," the law yer told the San A ngelo Standard-Tim es from his Fair­ fax, Va., office.

STATE BRIEFS Judge may delay Canadian River land rights case ■ W ELLIN G T O N — A state judge says he'll consider putting off the state's lawsuit against a Canadian River landowner while awaiting word on a similar case already in the appeals process. Visiting Judge John Forbis said Monday that he's thinking about delaying the Gen­ e ra l L an d O ff ic e 's ca se a g a in st H u go R ie m e r u n til th e C o u rt of A p p ea ls in Amarillo rules on a suit involving many of his neighbors. He has not officially put the proceedings on hold. The appeals court in January will exam­ ine a state district court ruling last March that affirmed property rights for several landowners down to the banks of the trick­ ling Canadian River. The state contended the actual riverbed is much wider, and that the dam creating Lake Meredith in the 1960s narrowed the river. The riverbed remains intact, the land office argues, and it should own the land within. S u sp e c te d o il d e p o sits b en e a th th e riverbed are at the root of the conflict. Oil revenues from state lands go to the Perma­ nent School Fund. A state survey found about 14,000 acres w orth of riverbed in a disputed 35-m ile strip east of Sanford Dam. Judge M. Kent Sim s accep ted the lan d ow ners' survey, which measured the riverbed at 138 acres.

However, the senior guard did admit that certain aspects of his game may be limited by the injury, which is located on his shooting hand. "I won't be able to shoot like I normally do," Freeman said. "I'll probably do more penetrat­ ing and kicking out than usual, and just try to help the team however I can." Freeman suffered the wrist sprain in the late stages of the team's opener against Nebraska on Saturday, which the No. 18 Horns won in overtime, 83-81. Freeman struggled through a 4-20 shooting performance in the game, but still managed to rack up 21 points. Texas will need all the help they can get against the Rams, who opened their season with a 34-point win over Siena on Satur­ day. Last season, the two teams fought it out in a thrilling contest in Providence in February, a game in which the Horns finally triumphed by a 81-77 margin. "We're looking for them to come in and play hard," Free­ man said. "They remember when we went up there and won, so we're gonna have to be ready for them." — Compiled by Mike Finger, Daily Texan Staff CALENDAR WEDNESDAY ■ BASKETBALL The Runnin' Horns host Rhode Island at the Erwin Center at 7 p.m. FRIDAY ■ FOOTBALL The Longhorns host Texas A&M at Darrell K Royal- Texas Memorial Stadium at 10 a.m. ■ VOLLEYBALL The Lady Horns host Nebraska at the Erwin Center at 7 p.m. SATURDAY ■ VOLLEYBALL The Lady Horns host Colorado at the Erwin Center at 7 p.m. Culture clash Aggies, Horns lock and load for annual game of state bragging rights DAVID LIVING STO N Daily Texan Staff Few games are like this one. The Horns pound a hapless Kansas team, return to Austin, see the Tower bathed in orange light, and go on with their business. The fans are apathetic, as is much of the media and the players. It can be a crucial win against a con­ ference foe, but the excitement around that type of win is minimal. But a few times a year, a Texas win means so In 1995, the Horns beat Baylor with a backup quarterback to grab at least a share of the final Southwest Conference championship. The fans were happy, but the players knew they needed more to make the season a memorable one. So in their next game, they outfought Texas A&M, 16-6, and assured them a spot in an alliance bowl. Just as the University does after every win, the Tower glowed with orange light. On that night, however, it meant something special. "There are some times that you see [the Tower], and you just want to stand there and look at it," Texas head coach John Mackovic said. This Friday could be one of those rare times. When Texas meets the Aggies at 10:10 on Fri­ day morning, they will be fighting for the right to play in the Big 12 Championship game and another year of state bragging rights. It will be the 103rd time the two teams have met, the third longest rivalry in NCAA division I history, but the first time in the Big 12. And if history repeats itself, the contest could be one of the most memorable games of the year. Both teams have had disappointing years, falling from their preseason spot in the Top 25 polls and suffering heart-wrenching losses to lesser opponents. But somehow, it has come down to this - if Texas wins the game, it wins the Southern division. A&M (6-5, 4-3 in Big 12) must beat Texas for a spot in a postseason bowl. "Emotions run very deep for this game, and people who don't say anything at all during the year, all of a sudden, things come out of them that [surprise you]," Mackovic said.

UT gets another shot at champion Comhuskers MIKE FINGER________________ Daily Texan Staff IF HAS VOLLEYBALL There are no hidden agendas, no statements to be made and there will be no moral victories. When the No. 8 Texas volleyball team hosts fifth- ranked Nebraska on Friday night at the Erwin Center, the Horns will have only one thing in mind — a share of the Big 12 title. It's not that they don't remember their 3-1 loss to the Huskers in last December's NCAA championship, or the fact that Nebraska has won four consecutive m atches in the series. It's just that Texas has more important matters to deal with. "W e're not playing for revenge, we're playing for a ring," said senior captain Sonya Barnes. "It doesn't it's N ebraska or not. m atter if They're in our way and we want to win a conference championship." A victory over the Huskers, cou­ pled with beating Colorado in their final home match at the Recreational Sports Center on Saturday, would guarantee Texas half of the league title. Nebraska (25-3,17-1 Big 12) has a one-match lead on the Horns (22-4, 16-2) heading into the weekend, a time that all of the players are look­ ing forward to. "W e re really excited," said sopho­ more outside hitter Demetria Sanee, who leads Texas with 4.19 kills per game. "The Big 12 championship is on the line, and that says it all." But according to coach Mick Haley, the upcoming matches aren't the only source of the abundance of excitement. He feels that the surge in the Horns' confidence is also a result of the team 's steady improvement. "I think there's a general feeling that we're starting to play pretty good," Haley said. "The players seem like they're ready to take on the best com­ petition that they can find now." And that com petition doesn't come much stiffer than the Huskers, who are considered a major con­ tender for winning their second straight national title. Nebraska swept Texas in their October meet­ ing in Lincoln, but the past disap­ pointments haven't fazed the Horns in their belief that they can defeat their new conference rivals. "W e overprepared tim e," Barnes said. "W e were too worried about what they were doing and not concentrating on ourselves. But last that's changed this time, because we know we have the ability to win." Although the players aren't con­ cerning themselves with it at the moment, the weekend also has seri­ ous implications regarding seeding for the NCAA tournament. Barring unforeseen consequences, Texas should have a Top 16 seed and a first-round bye. But with a win over a quality team such as Nebraska, Haley feels die Horns have a great shot at a pivotal Top 4 seed, which would put them in prime position to make a run at their ultimate goal of leaving the Final Four triumphantly. let "W inning out would the [NCAA] committee know that w e're coming into the tournament ready to play," said Haley. "W e can't afford to lose to Colorado and be where we want to be, even though they're playing very well right now. Playin them the day after Nebraska coul be the scariest part of this weekend. The Buffaloes (12-6, 17-8) hav indeed been impressive in recer weeks, as wins over Texas Tech an Kansas State have vaulted them int fourth place in the conference. Texas is hoping to come off a emotional matchup on Friday read to play again, so as to have a opportunity to knock off the dange: ous Colorado squad. But even they do, the Horns know that the work will be far from finished. "Winning the conference was alwa) one of our goals, and it would be gre, to achieve that," Haley said. "But w know that winning the NCAA's more important. We've just alwa) been greedy in the past and wante both of them." Double doozy Ogletree hits 3-point bucket at buzzer to send game into second overtime, 97-84 BRIAN DAVIS Daily Texan Staff Florida head coach Carol Ross knew that Texas' perimeter shooting was lethal, but she probably didn't realize that it was so lucky. After No. 19 Florida's players watched a seemingly insurmountable 12-point lead dis­ appear in front of their eyes, the Gators couldn't believe them again when Texas guard Angie Jo Ogletree hit a desperation trey with 0.7 seconds to send the game into double overtime. Texas nailed nearly all of its free throws in the extra period to upset Florida 97-84 in front of 6,079 fans at the Erwin Center. The Gators (2-1) dominated the Longhorns (3-0) on the boards, but wound up committing nine fouls in the extra periods to help 21st- ranked Texas take the thriller. Gator center Murriel Page led all scoring with 26 points as forward Talatha Bingham added 11. Florida managed to shoot 60 per- TEXA8 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL cent in the first half but didn't get as many opportunities from then on as Texas man­ aged to shut down the Gators inside. In the final period, with Florida trailing 82- 78, Gator guard Mahogany Hudson threw a pass over Murriel Page. Texas couldn't con­ vert on its trip down the floor, and on the Gators' next possession, Hudson threw a bad pass that was picked off by Texas' Edwina Brown. Florida seemed to foul out of frustration, and Brown, Ogletree and Amber Hasenmyer all hit free throws as Florida could only slap at the Longhorns' offense. "Like I said before, Florida is a good team, but we need to be able to handle ourselves and play basketball like it is in the [South­ eastern Conference]," Texas head coach Jody Please see Gators, page 10 Please see MLBS page 10 Texas forward Amie Smith looks over a Florida defender. Smith finished with 10 points Tuesday. CINDY BROWN/Daily Texan Staff Page 10 Wednesday, November 27, 1996 T h e D a ily T ex a n Horns: Stopping A&M running game key Continued from page 9 streak and a potent offense to Royal- M em orial Stadium Friday. After struggling early in the year, Texas quarterback James Brown has found the style of play he used last season when he guided the Horns to a con­ ference championship and a Sugar Bowl bid. In Texas' last game, Brown com­ pleted 15 of 25 passes for 200 yards and a touchdown against Kansas. But more importantly, Brown went back to his old form, throwing no interceptions and scrambling for 32 yards and a touchdown. Brown's passing, which will be critical against A&M 's young defen­ sive secondary, is backed by a strong rushing attack, which is keyed by fullback Ricky Williams. Tne 6-Ó, 220-pounder smashed through the Kansas defense for 190 yards on 25 carries, both career highs, bringing his season total to 1,120 yards. But he is not the only 1,000-vard rusher in the Texas backfield. Tail­ back Shon Mitchell, who became the first UT back since 1987 to accumu­ late 1,000 yards last season, was slowed by injuries at the beginning of the year. But the senior has come back strong, running for 357 yards in the last four games. "I think the run opens up our offense," Brown said. "If we run the ball well, we can throw the ball well. It's a big part of our offense. If we don't run the ball, teams can just sit back on second-and-ten and third- and-ten and exjpect us to pass. But it's hard to do that against us." Just like the Texas offense, A&M has struggled at times this year, including turning the ball over eight times in a loss to heavy underdog Southw estern Louisiana. Aggie quarterback Branndon Stewart has suffered through learning pains this season after being hailed as the sav­ ior of the A&M offense. The 6-3, 214-pound junior transfer from Tennessee is a good scrambler and ha» a stong arm, but he has been mistake-prone even though A&M uses a conservative offense attack. His main target is receiver Albert Connell, who has become one of the most prolific receivers in school his­ tory. But if A&M is to succeed against the Longhorns, it will have to come on the ground. Texas' stingy pass defense will easily shut down the Aggie passing attack if A&M fails to successfully run the ball. The Texas defense is 86th nationally against the run, while the Aggies have used a pletho­ ra of running backs to rush for 239.1 yards per game, 14th in the country. Sophomore Sirr Parker leads the attack with 706 yards, but three other tailbacks have gained over 500 yards for the Aggies. In their best defensive half of the season, Texas U If we beat them, they don’t get to go to a bowl game, and to a lot of guys on this team there could be nothing sweeter than seeing the Aggies at home during Christmas watching us on TV.” — RyenntMger , Texas canter shut down the Kansas rushing game after halftime, limiting the Jayhawks to 48 vards on 27 carries. Texas implemented a blitzing defense that left the comerback in man-to-man coverage for many of the plays. Mackovic, however, does not expect that gameplan to be as successful against the Aggies. "This is a team that comes hard at you," Mackovic said. "They're far better and more diversified than a couple of teams we've played so we have to be ready for that." And if die Horns do find a way to stop the Aggie offense, A&M will like­ ly be home during the bowl season. "If we beat them, they don't get to go to a bowl game, and to a lot of guys on this team there could be nothing sweeter than seeing the Aggies at home during Christmas watching us on TV," said Texas cen­ ter Ryan Fiebiger. Or, as Mackovic put it, "For one par­ ticular day of the year, it's life or death." Which is enough reason for the head coach to soak in the orange glow of the tower at least one more time. ■ Texas offensive guard Dan Neil was named Tuesday as one of three finalists for the Outland Trophy, which is annually awarded to col­ lege football's best offensive line­ man. The other finalists are Juan Roque of Arizona State and O hio St.'s Orlando Pace, who is also a candi­ date for the Heisman Trophy. The winner will be announced at a cere­ mony at Disney World, which Neil will attend. Neil has been the featured blocker in Texas' rushing attack this season; the 6-2, 283-pound senior has aver­ aged 10.6 pancake blocks a game this season. He was also named to the all-Big 12 first team on Tuesday. Gators: Texas fights back from 12-point deficit Continued from page 9 Conradt said. With 7.8 seconds remaining in the first overtime period, Ogletree missed the first of two shots to cut to one. Viglione Florida's fouled Dana Smith on the immedi­ ate inbounds play, and Smith hit both shots to seemingly ice the game for the Gators. lead But Texas quickly inbounded the ball, and Ogletree drove down the floor and heaved a desperation trey that found its mark. "I knew that we needed a three- pointer, but I was the one who had to shoot the ball," Ogletree said. Conradt said, "I don't know what her three-point shooting percentage is, but right now, I'm sure that it's a lot better." Florida seemingly was unable to handle Texas' press throughout the contest. With 4:40 to play in regula­ tion, the Longhorns applied full- court pressure that forced a turnover by DeLisha Milton and a foul by Murriel Page. Texas went on a 8-3 run during that stretch that helped Texas crawl back to a 65-63 deficit. Knowing Florida's inside game, Texas simply snubbed its nose at the reputation of Murriel and Page as center Angela Jackson put back an easy shot with both centers hanging on her jersey. It was a surprise for the 6-foot-4 junior because she only had seven rebounds all night. After the Longhorns had built up a five point lead that was solely based on a 9-2 run with 11:59 to play, the Gators took over. Conradt decided to try a smaller lineup against Florida, and the experiment proved costly. Florida forward Jackie Wright scored on an inbounds play, while forward Talatha Bingham hit a trey off the break, and Page put back a missed shot surrounded by three Longhorns. The Gators ran off a 19-4 run that was keyed by seven Texas turnovers. The Longhorns went scoreless for 5:23 during the stretch en route to a dismal 39 percent shooting percent­ age in the first half. The drought was ended by guard Vanessa Wallace, who hit an 11-footer with 2:07 to play in the first half. 9 COLLEGE RADIO FOR AUSTIN f m . 7 1 SPORTS ALTERNATIVE Every Wed. Night 8:30 - 9:30 pm @ Mr. G a tti’s on MLK Nuggets’ Bickerstaff fired as head coach Associated Press DENVER — His team slumping and attendance declining, Bemie Bick­ erstaff resigned as coach of the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, turning over the club to assistant Dick Motta. Bickerstaff will remain president of the team and reclaimed the title of general manager, which he had held until last season. the Motta, 65, longtime NBA coach who last season was with the Dallas Mavericks, was to coach the Nuggets (4-9) for the first time Tues­ day night against Phoenix. Bickerstaff's resignation came three days after his team scored a franchise-low 65 points in a 40-point loss to Portland. He had a 59-68 record in parts of three seasons, and the Nuggets never regained the promise they showed in the playoffs of 1994 under Dan Issel. "In evaluating the situation, hey, it wasn't working," Bickerstaff said. " I always said I would do what's best for the organization, and this is the best thing. "This gives me an opportunity to step back and try to solidify the tal­ ent level and the contract situations of this basketball team — to do the job I was originally hired to do." The move marks the second NBA coaching change this season, follow­ ing Cotton Fitzsimmons' resignation in Phoenix. KEY MATCHUPS POSflKMS THE EDGE QUARTERBACK: Before the season started, Texas A&M fans thought Branndon Stewart would be the savior of their lackluster offense. Those days, however, seem like a long time ago. Stewart has had a hard time saving his job, much less the offense. In his last six games, Stewart has complet­ ed just 39 percent of his passes. Meanwhile, Texas’ James Brown has turned it on in the second half of the season, toss­ ing seven touchdown passes in his last four games. Brown is peaking at the right time. RUNNING BACKS: While the Aggies don’t have a well- known featured runner, they do have four different backs with 500 yards apiece. D’Andre Hardeman has emerged as the go-to guy with 16 touchdowns. But the Ags don’t have a play­ er comparable to fullback Ricky Williams, who is proving to be one of the best all-around backs in the country with 1,382 all-purpose yards, 13 TDs and 6.4 yards per carry. Texas’ Shon Mitchell adds a big-play threat: Priest Holmes has scored eight touchdowns. WIDE RECEIVERS: The Longhorns’ Mike Adams (697 yards), in his final home game, will leave the school at the top of nearly every Texas career receiving chart. Aggie receiver Albert Connell, an explosive leaper with two game-winning catches, will come close to doing the same thing at A&M. Adams played one of the best games of his career against the Aggies last year, making a pair of clutch third down receptions and drawing an interference call in the end zone. OFFENSIVE LINE: Texas offensive guard Dan Neil and Aggie center Calvin Collins have combined for 90 career starts, and anchor their respective lines. The Longhorn offensive line has come together late in the season after struggling through the first half. The Aggies have an edge in experience with four upper classmen. DEFENSIVE LINE: Texas A&M’s Brandon Mitchell has been named a Lombardi Award semi-finalist for good reason. The senior has 10 quarterback pressures, six sacks and 10 tackles for losses. The Aggies’ nose tackle has pitched in with 15 tackles for losses and 4.5 sacks. Texas will benefit greatly from Chris Akins’s return to health, and can also count on freshman nose guard Casey Hampton (56 tackles). But the Horns' D-line has been a glaring weakness much of the sea­ son. They have posted just four sacks compared to A&M’s 12.5. LINEBACKERS: The Aggie linebacker corps is strong as usual. Keith Mitchell (14.5 sacks) may be the best pass rush­ er the Longhorns see this year, while Dat Nguyen can make plays all over the field (128 tackles, 3 interceptions.) Texas linebackers, meanwhile, have struggled with tackling, though they have shown significant improvement. Longhorn fresh­ man Aaron Humphrey has emerged as one of Texas’ biggest defensive playmakers. SECONDARY: No contest here. Texas’ senior-loaded defensive backfield has played together since it was fresh­ men. Bryant Westbrook, known for his hitting as much as his coverage skills, is a probable high first round selection in the NFL draft. The Aggies, meanwhile, have only one senior in the secondary in Donovan Greer. Their pass defense has improved during the year but remain a significant liability. SPECIAL TEAMS: Both Aggie place-kicker Kyle Bryant and Texas kicker Phil Dawson are having great years. Bryant leads the conference in field goals per game (1.55) and per­ centage (.773). Dawson is right behind in both categories (1.5, .750), and is 2-2 from 50 yards and beyond. Texas coach John Mackovic has a lot of confidence in Dawson, who has connected on 7 of 12 kicks of 50 yards or more. Bryant has hit 4 of 9 fromthe same range. Both teams have average return teams. F U F I U E H O H aTS HZ, J ill COACHING: John Mackovic’s Longhorns have fallen well short of their lofty preseason expectations, partly due to inept early-season tackling and blocking. But Mackovic has the Horns peaking in the November stretch run for the second year in a row and has a chance for the Big 12 South title. EVEN A&M's R.C. Slocum, who holds a .781 winning percentage, is feeling pressure for the first time in his career at College Station after a disastrous 1-3 start. He keeps landing big-time quarterbacks who become big-time liabilities.

"A long and winding road has come to an end," acting commis­ sioner Bud Selig said. "Baseball fans can finally look forward to five years of uninterrupted play. We can now work together to bring peace to the game. This very difficult and painful process is now behind us." Approval came exactly one week after Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf shattered baseball's salary structure by signing Albert Belle to a record $55 million, five-year deal. That contract provoked criticism from many baseball executives who felt betrayed. Those sentiments were largely behind the 26-4 vote — three more than three-fourths majority required — that ratified the agree­ ment. the Owners rejected the deal 18-12 on Nov. 6, but Selig decided to call another meeting within hours after Belle's signing. During a meeting that lasted only a little more than two hours, 14 teams changed their votes after an appeal from Selig, who refused to take a position three weeks ago. "Actually, it's good for the White Sox because it dooms the small-mar­ ket team s," said Reinsdorf, one of the four votes against the deal. " If anybody was for the deal because of what happened with Belie, I didn't hear it." San Diego Padres president Larry Lucchino and Mets president Fred Wilpon criticized Reinsdorf during the meeting, according to one partic­ ipant who spoke on the condition he not be identified. Lucchino, according to the source, said the White Sox owner had led teams astray with his hard-line stance. Cleveland, Kansas City and Oak­ land also voted against the five-year contract, which is retroactive to 1996 and runs through 2000. Players have the option of extending the agree­ ment through 2001. Players and owners had battled since Dec. 7,1992, when teams voted to reopen the previous labor con­ tract. The sides took their fight to Congress, the courts and even the White House. But with the eighth work stop­ page since 1972, baseball alienated many of its longtime fans — some of whom still haven't come back. The 232-day strike that began Aug. 12, 1994, wiped out the last 7 1 /2 weeks of the 1994 regular season and the first 3 1 / 2 weeks of the 1995 schedule. The strike was costly to both sides. Attendance has dropped 15 percent from pre-strike levels, players lost more than $350 million in salaries, and owners have taken an $800 mil­ lion hit over a three-year span. Union head Donald Fehr said Tuesday's vote was only the first step in the rebuilding process. KVR*TV • Texas S tu d e n t Television R Need same cash?

"W ith the con­ clusion of these negotiations, the dark cloud that has been hanging over the sport for far too long will dissipate." Teams forced out commissioner Fay Vincent in preparation for their attempt to gain a salary cap and reverse more than two decades of player gains, which caused the aver­ age salary to rise from $29,000 in 1970 to nearly $1.2 million before the strike. Now that a labor deal is approved, Selig said the process of hiring a full-time commissioner will begin som etim e in the next few months. San Francisco Giants owner Peter Magowan said some teams decided a deal they didn't like was better than no deal at all. An attempt to gain more concessions likely would have provoked another work stop- page. "W e wish we would have gotten a better system, but you're not going to conquer the world in one negotia­ tion,' Philadelphia Phillies owner Bill Giles said. On the field, the most revolution­ ary aspect is the start of interleague play for the first time since profes­ sional major leagues formed in 1871. It begins June 12, when the four NL West teams play the four AL West teams, and tne other divisions start the next day. Teams will play 15 or 16 interleague gam es next year* depending on their division. from players Final approval is expected next week when the union's executive board meets at Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico. In the meantime, lawyers will start to formalize the out­ line agreed to Oct. 24 by Fehr and man­ I agement negotiator Randy Levine. The central provisions of the agree; ment are a luxury tax covering the 199?, 1998 and 1999 seasons, designed to slow the payroll rise among large-mar- ket teams; and revenue sharing, which will shift at least $70 million a year from the large markets to the small markets in both 19% and 1997.

Does her gleeful portrayal have anything to do with being upstaged by her own dog? While she was a student at the College of William and Mary in the early 1970s, Close owned a small white dog named Penny, recalls theater professor Jerry Bledsoe. One day while she was appear­ ing in a student production of The Miser, Penny got out of Close's dressing room and wandered into the theater. "The dog slowly made its way down the aisle and climbed onstage," Bledsoe recalled. Penny appeared just as Close was just delivering the line, "The devil sees you and takes you to hell, you beggardly dog." Instead of applauding, the audi­ ence laughed so hard the play had to stop. A marriage made in ... a museum? ■ BRISTOL, Conn. — There were horses and giraffes and lions — oh, my! — to celebrate the union of singer Paula Abdul and her new husband. Abdul and New Haven clothing manufacturer Brad Beckerman, married last month in Beverly Hills, had a reception on Sunday at the New England Carousel Muse­ um. "W e had a great tim e," said Ruthann Beckerman, mother of the groom and hostess of the recep­ tion. Beckerman said she passed up a chance to have the party at several mansions around the state. "Too stuffy," she said. Country Carter ■ HUDSON, Md. — What would you think if you heard form er President C arter had visited a country store known as a haven for tellers of tall tales? "They couldn't believe it," John Lewis said of patrons of his store. Carter, resting up after a tour to promote his newest book, Living Faith, spent the weekend on Mary­ land's Eastern Shore at a vacation hom e shared by friends who include his former press secretary, Jody Powell. He also stopped in at Lewis' store, celebrated by the locals as John Lewis University. It sells a lit­ tle of just about everything from newspapers and groceries to motor oil — "If you want it, I've got it," Lewis says — and has some "liars' benches" in back for deep conver­ sation. Carter got his duck-hunting license there, and a little more. "I learned a lot about world affairs, about environmental issues and about politics that I never would have known — also basic philosophy and religion," Carter said before returning to Georgia on Monday. She’s still going ■ LOS ANGELES, Ca. — In her busiest movie year in decades, Lauren Bacall says her part in The Mirror Has Two Faces is one of her best roles since the 1940s. The 72-year-old actress, whose credits include To Have and Have Not, and The Big Sleep, plays Han­ nah Morgan, a vain beautician and m other of Barbra Streisan d 's frumpy character, Rose. "She was a many-dimensional woman. I didn't find her a stereo­ type," Bacall said of her role in the weekend's No. 5 film. Bacall says the character's frailties, fears and ferocity created an interesting woman. Bacall has a smaller role as a for­ mer first lady in My Fellow Ameri­ cans, a comedy due out in Decem­ ber that stars Jack Lemmon and James Gamer. She also is in a French produc­ tion, The Day and the Night, in cur­ rent release. Mia’s trouble B LITCHFIELD, Conn. — Author­ ities are keeping an eye out for an ex-con vict from Texas who is accused of threatening actress Mia Farrow and her daughter Dylan. Carl Guichard, 59, has failed to report to parole officials for nearly two weeks, Texas authorities said. In the past, Guichard has claimed to be Dylan's biological father and has threatened to try to "recover" the child. "W e don't want to create an atm osphere of alarm ," Sta te's Attorney Frank Maco said Mon­ day. "We want to create an atmos­ phere of preparedness." Dylan was adopted by Farrow and Woody Allen, who later was accused by Maco molesting the child, but was not prosecuted. — Compiled from Associated Press reports KVRX topless 21 ■ These are the 21 m ost-played artists on stu dent radio station KVRX for the week of November 18-25.

This week, fresh-faced newcomer Waffle Crisp by Post takes on the reigning champion, General Mills' French Toast Crunch. The new craze in cereal seems to be simu­ lating real breakfast foods for those of us not fortunate enough to have the time to cook Eggos in the microwave or toast some bread. The French Toast Crisp made a good effort simulating real french toast, even attempting to simulate the look and feel of the real thing. Although the taste was a bit too Corn Pops­ like for this judge's taste, the french toast concoction knocked o ff some weak apple streusel crap. Again this week, we have yet another cere­ al longing to be more than a mixture of fruits and grains in a flashy cardboard box. Waffle Crisp seeks to imitate your grandm other's waffles (my grandma never made waffles) and maple syrup. The manufacturers claim that they begged hundreds of grandmothers across the country for their recipes, and one finally sold out. Or, as they say, “We finally got one to talk." (Cue m aniacal corporate laughter.) E v id en tly G ran d m a's recip e said that every waffle must have 9,327 crannies and nine nooks. I guess some lucky schlep in quality control gets to count every little piece of Waffle Crisp to make sure it has the requi­ site number of nooks and crannies. Scary, isn't it? Enough ab ou t the in a n itie s o f W affle Crisp. If you spend too much time thinking about how similar or dissimilar these simula­ tion cereals are from their intended taste, you are truly missing out on their genius. Froot Loops really don't taste like fruit, do they? I don't know what the hell a frankenberry is, but I'm sure it tastes nothing like the cereal of the same name. On to the bloody warfare. By a 2-1 margin, W affle C risp is the new cham pion. Once again, I provided the dissenting opinion as celebrity judges Joe Sebastian and Eric McK­ inney went for the Waffle Crisp. Choosing a winner between these two was more like choosing the lesser of two evils than crowning a great cereal champion. Nei­ ther has a great taste or texture, but the Waf­ fle Crisp was seen as slightly less nauseating. Celebrity judge Sebastian, however, chose Waffle Crisp for a different reason: its safety. He felt that Waffle Crisp was less likely to get caught in the diner's teeth when wet or get lodged in the throat. When eaten without milk, the Waffle Crisp has a very sickly-sw eet flavor and a very gritty texture, as opposed to the corn-like puffiness of the French Toast Crunch. Both cereals resist becoming soggy in milk, but of course become quite slimy and disgusting after a while. N either of th ese cereals can be recom ­ mended wholeheartedly by our three-judge panel. They both should probably be avoid­ ed, and certainly have nothing on the old standby W eetabix. W hatever happened to the outstanding quality of cereals such as Cinnamon Life, Alpha-Bits or Golden Gra­ hams? Questions such as these are raised by the failure of this week's contestants. Has the available ingenuity in breakfast cereals been used up? Have we reached the end of the tunnel? Most importantly, how can a genera­ tion of American youngsters be raised with­ out realizin g the sig n ifican ce of Frosted Mini-Wheats? Evans: Rockabilly guitarist wants a revival of blues, emotion ~------------- ------------- ------ --------- Continued from page 11 other than it had energy and that was why it was worth seeing to me." While attracted by the energy of the live per­ formance, Evans wanted to put music to it that was evocative of emotion rather than the cur­ rent trends. The blues and rockabilly music he s absorbed into his blood now come out at every 68 Comeback show, where the immedi­ acy of a good show just serves to emphasize the music itself. It s the energy of the live performance that I relate to — hopefully I can do that if I'm 'on,' if I do a good job. As far as recording, that always has to be second. Even though 1 think there's a point for songs with a message, songs that come from your heart, songs that relate to some experi­ ence that you're going through. It's there, like in hardcore, there's politics, but you can't hear the politics unless you read the words. Rock- n roll is supposed to be simple, it's supposed to be easy to get. It's ju st m usic for ev ery ­ body," said Evans. Guitarist Reyes points out how their music can be for everybody when he d ecribes an encounter with an average listener. "I was outside the doctor's office, and this lady came up to tell me it was my turn. I was listen in g to stu ff we had done on the car stereo, and she said, 'What are you listening to? That's the blues, man.' I said, 'T hat's my band,' and she said, 'Is that a brother?"' Therein lies the brilliance of Evans' mission — he's managed to blur back together all sorts of fic titio u s lin es se p a ra tin g b la ck and w hite/urban and rural musics and styles. The result is a form of music that conveys more of an atmosphere than a message, which is a nec­ essary characteristic in this world for powerful music. Also, it makes them naturals for movie music, especially the type that accom panies the films of J.M. McCarthy, a Memphis film­ maker whose work is also powerfully evoca­ tive of Memphis' soul. Evans' work on current recording for the film The Sore Losers along with the Austin '68 Comeback sessions look to make 1997 another prolific year for the South's most unusual and interesting roots band. 6 th & T rin ity Beat the Hell outta 4 7 8 - 3 8 4 4 Get pum ped up w ith ^ Atlantic $ Soul Review Anythin? in the house! 18 & UP Bob’s Blowout Weekend! ¡¡¡Get the Party Attitude! ¡¡¡¡I The Ultimate Party Complex! tm iipm 6 Themes ★ 3 Stages Thursday.

And the Dalmatians are truly darling, frolicking about and battling the evil Cruella DeVil. This version, trying to live up to the stature of its predecessor, spotlights real life canines in the title roles. M ore than 200 puppies w ere used along with seven full-grown dogs. In true Disney fashion, 101 Dalmatians is an exercise in "Oh, how cute." It is not the most original release from the monolithic studio, but the movie has its warm m om ents. M ore m arketing schem e than cre­ ative practice, the mise-en-scene is littered with lots of products in the shape of Disney icons. W atch for all the little M ickeys in the back­ ground. In this version of 101 Dalmatians, the dogs don't speak. Instead they use gestures to com­ municate thoughts and feelings. The intention here is to maintain a level of credibility of the film that talking dogs w ouldn't allow and to stay true to the nature of the furry beasts. In the end the canines are truly remarkable, although the film fails to even com e close to preserving their innate dogness; they are able to in v o k e a broad range of ev en the m ost human emotions — fear, hate, and, yes, Dalma­ tian love. This is a respectable accomplishment, all things considered. Glenn C lose plays C ruella D eV il, fashion designer in search of spotted puppy fur coat. Her Cruella is outrageously over-the-top, and decked out in her frightful get-up, she is pretty hard to watch, more grating than really scary. Jeff Daniels and Joely Richardson play the part of the owners who fall in love as their Dal­ matians do. Their romance is pretty sappy, but sw eet nonetheless. While on the whole fairly bland, D aniels has a few funny m om ents as Roger, like being dragged on a bike through the streets by Pongo (in this version Roger is an A m erican v id eo gam e p ro g ra m m er). And Richardson is absolutely charming in her small role as Anita. The story here is of classic proportions, pit­ ting cute little fur balls against the truly wicked intentions of Cruella. It lends itself nicely to this sort of Disney holiday business. Vivica Fox stars as Frankie in Set It Off. Set: good film, seen before Continued from page 11 manager who falls for Pinkett's character while she is casing the joint. The resulting liaison is a bit clu m sy w hen it a ttem p ts to address the differences between K eith and Stony, but it still allows for some nice tension later on. Though it doesn't offer much innovation in terms of plot, Set It O ff uses the details as its strength, concentrating on the incongruity of the four women knocking over banks. Latifah, as Cleo, announces, "If them crackheads can rob a bank, why can't we?" as a tequila bottle dangles from her hand. Once it's decided that they will g o ahead, they have to go borrow guns to actually accomplish the deed. W hen h ittin g th e b an k , the striking scenes of women screanv ing "On the floor!" pound home the message of their desperation. The few true action scenes are used sparingly, but are highly effective and visually stunning. Though it really has trou ble improving on bad guy (or gal, in this case) flicks like Heat or Deep Cover, Set It O ff is surprisingly good, and is much less the vehi­ cle for Latifah and Pinkett some m ight think it is than sim ply a good idea. ! e i y t p 2:25-4:45-7:25-9:40-11:55 BEAUTIFUL T H I N K S 2 :2 0 -5 :0 0 -7 : 3 0 -9 :5 0 Trainspotting L 2:30-4:55-9 45-12:00 Gangsters and Outlaws Series Public Enemy 7:30 p .m . f .

I think Babe was the only movie I w asn't offered. "T here's two A -lists in Hollywood. I'm not on one, and I'm the only guy on the other one. I'm really good at it. It culm inated in working w ith Pongo. You m ake the dog great...w e're now here if the dogs aren't any good." Daniels claim ed w orking w ith the D alm a­ tians w as a lot of fun. N ever m ind playing second banan a to a can in e. He d id n 't even mind director Stephen Herek barking orders to "sit." Daniels recalled a hum orous incident which becam e a running joke on the set of the film. "The trainers are always behind you giving the dogs orders. One day you're sitting there, and som eone says, 'sit,' and you sit down." O ne o f B rita in 's m ost talen ted actresses, Joely Richardson, who plays Anita, confessed to having other reasons for accepting the role. "Selfishly, I just thought of 101 Dalmatians as my favorite cartoon and that's why I was so happy to be a part of it," she said. Richardson continued, explaining that it is not often an actor has the opportunity to be part of a classic film w hich "I know will be a ro u n d for a lo n g tim e ." Sh e a d d ed th a t another main attraction was the chance to act alongside Glenn Close. But the most remarkable part of 101 Dalma­ tians is its heavy use of real life puppies (with the excep tio n o f som e com p uter generated images). The most drastic departure from the original is that in the live-action version the a n im a ls do n o t s p e a k . A ll e m o tio n s and thoughts had to be conveyed through actions and Dalmatian gestures. The project w as in capable hands. Head ani­ mal trainer G ary Gero, who had previously worked on Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, had to use over 200 eight-w eek-old puppies for the film. "Puppies have an extremely high capacity to le a rn . T h e y 'r e lik e ch ild re n ; th e y 're lik e sponges. And as long as you treat everything as a game and ensure that they enjoy what they do, you can get results. However, these trainers have done th in gs w hich have gone beyond even our hopes. Getting 15 puppies to sit and stay all at the same time was quite something."

Simpson stepped down from the witness stand Tuesday without any effort by his law yer to undo the damage from two days of accusations from the other side. Defense attorney Robert Baker had been expected to throw Sim pson a round of sym pathetic questions. But in a surprise move criticized by some experts, Baker said he w ill call Sim pson back to the ^tand during the defense portion of the wrongful-death lawsuit next month. As a result, the jurors headed home for a six-day Thanksgiving holiday car­ rying a final image of Simpson denying yet again that he stabbed to death Nicole Brown Sim pson and Ronald Goldman. The trial resumes on Tues­ day. Earlier in the day, a juror was removed after being accused of trying to contact attorneys in the case and one of their employees. The woman, an aspiring actress, said her only offense was to compliment a paralegal's tie. Telling his story for the first time in front of a jury, Simpson was battered for two days w ith evidence, insinuations and accusations, from blood in his Bron­ co and mansion to a lie-detector that allegedly showed him being “ extremely deceptive." Despite rapid-fire questioning from a law yer who was literally in his face, Simpson answered in calm, even tones, giving no flash of the explosive temper the other side had hoped to bring out. He answered w ith a series of " I don't knows" and a string of denials. Among other things, Simpson said he couldn't explain anything from the location of any gloves he owned to how he got cuts on his hand — crescent­ shaped gouges the plaintiffs say Ms. Sim pson and Goldm an made w ith their fingernails during a death strug­ gle. Baker's decision to postpone Sim p son's “ rehabilitation" in front of the jury came as a surprise. “ I think it's a bad idea," said the Wyom ing defense attorney Gerry Spence. "You want to have your client tell his story as many times as possible, assuming he has a story' to tell and can tell it effectively. He has certainly shown he can tell it effec­ tively." But Loyola U niversity Law School Dean Laurie Levenson called it a smart move on Baker's part. "This w ay, when they put O .J. on the stand," she said, “ he w ill be well-packaged. H e 'll be sur­ rounded by defense witnesses who w ill have done much of the explaining for him ." Asked about the risky strategy, Baker said: “ Every pundit thinks they can read the minds of the jury. W e 'll see." The day began w ith a tw ist rem inis­ cent of Sim pson's m urder trial: Ann- M arie Jam ison was rem oved from the jury by Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki, who accused her of trying to contact partici­ pants in the case. Jam ison said all she did was com pli­ ment the tie a paralegal for the plaintiffs was wearing. A fter the juror's dis­ m issal, the paralegal, Steve Foster, wisecracked: " I think she's got good taste in ties." In an only-in-L. A. touch, Jam ison — a former bikini girl on TV's "Diagnosis M urder " who marched into the jury box on Halloween wearing a purple T-shirt w ith a bright orange message: “ It's H al­ loween! Care to Go Bum p in the N ig h t?" — already had an agent and prom ptly booked a round of TV appearances. She was the fourth juror or alternate to be dismissed. One was rem oved for/ drinking, one for dozing in court and; one because of ill health. The alternate juror chosen by lottery to replace Jam ison is w hite and in her 20s, leaving the racial and gender makeup of the jury unchanged: nine whites, one black, one H ispanic and one person of black and Asian ancestry. It has seven women and five men. Five alternates remain. The judge warned the rem aining jurors, "A jury is not a social clu b." H e suggested that sequestering the ju ry would be one w ay to deal w ith the. problem , “ but I don't think that's, appropriate in a d v il case." The ju ry in- the m urder case was sequestered near­ ly a year. Sim pson's finale on the stand was anticlim actic. A fter the pounding rhetoric of Daniel Petrocelli, two other law yers for the p laintiffs' side — John Q. K elly and M ichael Brew er — took barely an hour, m aking largely sym bol­ ic appearances on behalf of their clients. Brewer, who represents Goldm an's mother, Sharon Rufo, asked a question that opened the door to a Sim pson solil­ oquy. Noting that Sim pson had w ritten in his so-called suidde letter he hoped the public would remember "the real O .J./ Brewer asked: "W h o is the real O .J.?" " I like to think I was a guy — includ­ ing N icole when we were together and when we weren't — people could come to," Sim pson said. " I liked to think I treated everybody the w ay I wanted to be treated. M y basic philosophy was 'do unto others.'" More Americans get Thanksgiving to go Associated Press BOSTON — Jean M ayer has plenty of Thanksgiving memories, and not all of them are as sweet as her icebox cook­ ies. She remembers long hours in the kitchen, lots of stress and the turkey she cooked to the consistency of leather. So two years ago, M ayer latched onto a new holiday tradition that's becoming increasingly popular, even in her hometown of Plym outh, where Thanksgiving began. She ordered out for her home-cooked meal. “This w ay, you get more time to relax with your fam ily," said M ayer, who runs an auto service and sales business w ith her husband. “ There's no cleanup involved afterw ard. Every­ thing goes right into the trash can. And you know I'm not going to mess up the turkey." Studies show fewer people are din­ ing out on Thanksgiving. But stores and restaurants nationw ide have stepped in to provide ready-made meals for those who want to reduce the holiday hassle and still eat at home. Boston M arket, a restaurant chain, is offering turkey meals nationally for the first time this Thanksgiving. The com­ pany expects holiday sales to nearly double this year. About 70 percent of all U.S. house­ holds w ill have turkey on Thanksgiv­ ing Day, but only 30 percent actually cook a bird, said D avid Jenkins of N PD Group Inc., a market research compa­ ny. The rest either go to someone else's house, go to a restaurant or order out. Takeout has increased year-round to an average of 35 meals a year for each man, woman and child in the United States, compared w ith 20 a decade ago, Jenkins said. But since Thanksgiving is a bastion of old-fashioned home cook­ ing, any change in habits attracts atten­ tion. "It's still pretty sm all. But it's a dra­ m atic change from what things used to be, when it had to be prepared at hom e," he said.
