Faulkner offers jour ways to meet shortfall at financial forum By Yvonne Lim Daily Texan Staff With a dire financial fore­ cast for the next two years, student concerns over tuition deregulation w eighed heavily during a financial forum host­ ed by U T President Larr) Faulkner Thursday. A udience m em bers asked Faulkner whether the adm inis­ tration could cut existing pro­ gram s and projects and alter investment form ulas to meet the reductions in state funding, instead of implementing tuition deregulation.

Volume 103, Number 102 25 cents 78TH LEGISLATURE kill needy’s health care Official: Medicaid patients would be affected by reductions By Elizabeth Esfahani Daily Texan Staff T he Department of Health and Human Services painted a grim picture at the Capitol Thursday with a mandated 12 5-percent budget trim that would leave 250,000 children and 67,000 adults without health-care coverage. These significant reductions would affect the state's most needy and poor, as well as reducing reimbursements for doctors, all unavoidable neces­ sities with available, the Com missioner Albert Hawkins said. funds lack of The agency, which requires the state's largest budget expenditure, uses most of its money on Medicaid, the insurance program providing for low income families. CHIP, an insurance program for needy children w hose family income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, is also another big cost for the agency. Right now, children that are in families at 2(H) percent of the poverty level, which is about $36,8(H) per family of four, receive CHIP coverage. Under the m andated 12.5 percent, the rate would be pared down to 150 percent. Proposed Medicaid cuts would not touch those people the federal government requires the state to cover, but will affect mostly the elderly, blind and disabled who are not poor enough to meet the fed- erally-mandated care requirement. Breast cancer and cervical cancer services would also be can­ celled, as well as money that provides eyeglasses, hearing aids and other medical supplies for the those in need. This m ass of uninsured people would m ost likely turn to overcrowded emergency rooms for their health-care needs, Hawkins said. Donna Gonzalez, See CUTS, page 6 dismissed by state judge Judgement: Camera information not exempt from public release By Wes Ferguson Daily Texan Staff A slate district judge on Thursday dism issed a University law suit that s o u g h t to prevent the disclo­ sure of information concerning the use of security cameras on cam pus. The University's lawyers had fought an attorney general's ruling to release the public information — locations of security cameras, the amount of money spent on them and the names of com panies con­ tracted to provide them — citing a risk to cam pus and national security. But in his sum m ary judgment, Travis County District Judge Paul Davis said, "The information at issue is not subject to any exemption under the Public Information Act." TTte Daily Texan filed a request for the information in October, which the U niversity appealed to Attorney General Greg Abbott. Abbott sided with the Texan. "O f course I'm pleased that we were able to get a quick judgment in this case," Abbott said in a pre­ pared statement, "and I'm hopeful that UT will promptly produce the public records, rather than continuing to fight in litigation." UT's general counsel Patricia Ohlendorf said the University might decide within a week whether to appeal the ruling.

W ith a $20,000 budget, the number of people at the event was larger than usual, organizers said. Bad weather had prevented larger crowds from attending previous H illel block parties, Rabbi David Kessell said. For those wanting to express their athletic prowess, there was a rock climbing wall and a bungee cord ride. For those kxiking for something a little more exotic, there was a special area to smoke cherry- and apple-flavored tobacco. For the younger kids, there was a spot lal area to play triv ia games and build sand sculptures. For the adventurous, a camel was even on hand for guests to ride. The goal of the evening was to bring Israel to Austin, to give locals the experience of visiting a foreign land. "It's heartwarming to see the different areas of Israel represent­ ed," said Dana Kursh, the vice- consul of Israel to the Southwest, based in Houston. Ihe foods of the day were falafel, schwarma and fries Money was exchanged for 50-cent tickets, and for a few' dollars, one could be treated to enough Jewish food to last them through the party. "It's an aw'esome event and great publicity for H illel," said Aaron Goldstein, a government senior. Jenny Diamond, the other co­ chair, saw the party a s something more. "It raises cultural awareness that Israel is not a fighting state," Diamond said. Logistics director Adam Sowal- sky said he believed that the pres­ entation of the event gave off a vibe that made people want to stay. Sowalsky, a cell biology' senior, said that if Hillel would have had more money, the group would have liked to put more police offi­ cers out in the area. Protection w'as a huge concern for the people in charge, Sow'alsky said. At least six A PD officers and a few local FBI agents were on the premises to ensure that nothing would upset the mood of the partv, organizers said. A small group comprised of peo­ ple from the Palestine Solidarity Committee, the Jewish Students for Palestinian Rights and Women in Black, who describe themselves as an international peace network, held a silent protest outside the perimeter of the party.

Musician Ben Harper discusses new album, playing Austin This week, The Daily Texan talks with musician Ben Harper, whose new album Diamonds on the Inside comes out March 11. A full version of the interview appears online at www.dailytexanonline.com. You're not playing to an indus­ try', and it feels really good to play through the South — I love it. I make southern music any­ way, even though I'm from California. BH: Oh man, the shows are going really well. As far as I'm concerned, I'm having more fun now than I'v e ever had making music. — P. Ryan Petkoff The Daily Texan: So let's start off talking about the much-antic­ ipated newr album. Ben Harper: Yeah man, great. DT: Is this album more impor­ tant to you than the other four studio releases because you pro­ duced it? BH: W ell, it's no more impor­ tant, because without the steps, you know what I mean, those other records have enabled me to make this record. So I can't put them in order of importance, but 1 can certainly sav that this one is an accumulation of the four. DT: Flow 's the live show coming Ben Harper DT: You've got to have an Austin tour date up, right? Last time you played the Backyard it was packed, and the people seemed to be pretty responsive. BH : Absolutely, man. The Backyard and Stubb's — I just love playing in Austin and Texas altogether. DT: So what can we expect? BH : I don't know', man. Playing in the South is just the best because you're playing to folks, you know what I mean? DT: Can we expect stuff from [Welcome to the] Cruel World and the older albums? BH: Oh definitely, man. We're going to represent all the records, for sure. I mean, of course we're going to lean towards this record, but the good news is we play for a while, so in a two-and-a-half- hour set we can play 24 songs. DT: In the single, ["W ith my O w n Tw'o H ands"], you talk about changing the world. What are you doing to change the world? BH: It's a day-to-day move­ ment, man. It's not like, "OK, today I'm going to do this, and change." then things w ill Online voting convenient, ESB chair says ELECTIONS, FROM 1 Brian Haley, Students First presidential candidate, won by a 50.00497-percent majority. Jon Mureen, Envision presidential candidate, was next in line with 32.34 percent of the vote, followed by Topple Student Government candidate Daniel Fernandez, writh 13.63 percent of the vote. Haley said he was not expecting theStudents First landslide win. "The w'hole reason we won tonight was because of the peo­ ple running on our ticket," Haley said. "I am so proud to be run­ ning w ith all of them." All three presidential candi­ dates said they expected the ESB to announce a run-off for the presidential race. Runoffs in the presidential race have occurred since the 1999 SC election. ESB chair Ernest McGowen said a runoff would have taken place had one more person voted in the presidential race for a candidate other than Haley. Mureen, however, said he had no regrets about running. The Envision campaign was victori­ ous in spreading its message to the student body, he said. "M y congratulations go to Brian H aley," Mureen said. "Obviously, they ran a very good race, and they won." 1 le also expressed his pride for the Envision candidates and team. "They did it right the whole way, and that is all I can ask for/' Mureen said. Fernandez said he, too, con­ gratulated Haley and hoped that Haley w'ill "see the light and realize that it is w'rong to tax the students in such a manner." In the vice presidential race, Students First candidate Sly Majid secured a win over Envision can­ didate Bryan Pravda with 56.62 percent of the vote. Majid said he was speechless as the ESB announced one Students First winner after another.

UT has 3 0 days to appeal judgm ent LAWSUIT, FROM 1 our campus community, our students, our staff, our faculty and also our visitors to the campus," Ohlendorf said. Keeping information about security cameras private "gives us better assurance that people know security measures may be taken, and that may be a deterrent to any activitv that could cause harm to members of our campus community," she said. Deputy Attorney General Jeff Boyd, who argued the state's case in court, said Abbott wras adamant that his office fight the University's position. "Contrary to what you hear out there about national security and terrorist threats creating a need to close government more, [Abbott] believes it creates a need to expand government openness," Bovd said. O ne of Abbott's aides, Angela Hale, said the judge reprimanded the University's lawyers for objecting on techni­ calities to some of the attorney general's documents. In one instance, Fiale said, the lawyers objected to the validity of some of the University's pwn records because they hadn't been veri­ fied by an affidavit. "F ie chided the lawyers for UT for tiling frivolous objec­ tions and using delay tactics," Fíale said. The University has 30 days to appeal the judgment. TOMORROW’S WEATHER H igh Low 6 4 P Ryan wishes you could read more. "This is the most unbelievable moment of our lives tonight. We [Students First] had no expecta­ tion of doing so w ell," Majid said. Majid said his first step w'hen he takes office in April w ill be to reevaluate the distribution of the student services fee to organiza­ tions on campus. Bryan Pravda, Envision vice- presidential candidate, had no comment on the election results. Envision campaign manager Bryson Santaguida said he was baffled by the overwhelming number of positions Students First won. Fie said Envision w ill inves­ tigate the results of the election. The increased voter turnout in this year's elections also drew surprised reactions from the ESB, candidates and supporters. Over 20 percent of the total stu­ dent body voted in the elections, meaning that voter turnout has more than doubled since last the highest year, and w'as turnout in at least 10 years. ESB chair M cGowen attributes this increase to "the added con­ venience of online voting." "The offices have such a large mandate because a fifth of the UT population cared to vote for them," McGow'en said. Students also had an addition­ al day to vote after the ESB ruled that icy weather prevented some students from voting Tuesday. Students also voted to pass a referendum to erect statues of Jordan and Cesar Barbara Chavez on campus. This newspaper was printed with pride by The Daily Texan and Texas Student Publications.

Diplomats described a terrible atmosphere within the council, which met behind closed doors for four hours Thursday. The council is split between those who are supporting the Bush administration’s calls for the use of force to disarm Saddam Hussein, and others, led by the French, who want to con­ tinue weapons inspections. At the end of the session, French Ambassador Jean-Marc de La Sabliere said the majority of the council still opposed a U.S.- backed draft resolution and he pushed the French proposal for additional time for inspections. Still, ambassadors who spoke on condition of anonymity said the Americans seemed unwilling to compromise in order to achieve council unity on Iraq. Start of North Korea reactor sends message WASHINGTON — By restarting its nuclear reactor, North Korea is sending a message that it has the capability and is prepared to produce plutonium for a formida­ ble nuclear arsenal. But nuclear experts said Thursday the real test is if the Koreans start up a processing facility next door where plutonium would be extracted from the used fuel, or from thousands of used fuel rods that have been in stor­ age since the mid-1990s. Over time, the small, 5- megawatt reactor at North Korea’s Yongbyon nuclear com­ plex could produce enough pluto­ nium for three warheads every two years, U.S. nuclear experts said. The processing facility could separate enough plutonium for a warhead a month as long as plutonium was available. While the North Korean govern­ ment has asserted its startup of the reactor was to produce elec­ tricity, U.S. officials — as well as private nuclear experts — scoffed at such claims, saying the small reactor at Yongbyon eats up as much power as it pro­ duces. A typical commercial U.S. power reactor is 1,000 megawatts. Cuba seizes American mission’s book shipment HAVANA — Works by Martin Luther King Jr., John Steinbeck and Groucho Marx were among 5,101 books seized by Cuban authorities after being shipped in by the U.S. government, America’s top diplomat in Havana said Thursday. American diplomats were told it was a “firm decision by the gov­ ernment" not to allow the books into the Communist-run country for distribution to dissident groups, including independent libraries, U.S. Interests Section Chief James Cason said. “They said it wasn’t the books, but who we were going to give them to," he told a small group of international reporters. He said the American mission has imported similar books in the past. The $68,770.41 shipment remains in the control of Cuban customs officials, Cason said. American officials said they would happily pay duties on the books, but were told that was not an option. “It's fear of losing political con­ trol,” said Cason, who arrived in Havana five months ago.

NATION BRIEFS Reports show economy’s road to recovery is bumpy WASHINGTON — The economy’s bumpy road to recovery was vividly seen Thursday in a trio of reports: Demand to factories for big ticket goods posted the best showing in six months, but new-home sales plummeted and unemployment claims hit a two-month high. Orders to U.S. factories for durable goods — Items expected to last at least three years — jumped by 3.3 percent in January, the first increase since October, the Commerce Department reported. A second report from the depart ment, however, showing sales of new, single family homes plunged by 15.1 percent in January the biggest decline in nine years raised some new questions about consum ers’ willingness to make big financial commitments amid worries about a war with Iraq, economists said. In a third report, the Labor Department said new claims for unemployment benefits rose by a seasonally adjusted 11,000 last week to 417,000, a two-month high, suggesting that businesses are inclined to keep work forces lean, given the uneven economic recovery. Lack of war cost estimates frustrating House Democrats WASHINGTON — House Democrats lashed out at a top defense official Thursday over the Bush administration’s refusal to pro­ vide any cost estimates of a war against Iraq. “ I think you are deliberately keeping us in the dark,” Rep. James Moran, D-Va., told Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz. “ We are finding out far more from the newspapers than we are from you in testimony.” Wolfowitz appeared before the House Budget Committee to dis­ cuss the administration’s $379.9 billion proposed defense budget for next year. The budget does not include the costs of a possible war. which would likely be funded by a midyear spending bill Wolfowitz said the costs would depend on many factors, including how long the war lasts, what kind of weapons are used, and the assis tance provided by U.S. allies. The committee’s top Democrat, Rep. John Spratt of South Carolina, said Congress needed some guid ance as it considers next year's budget and President Bush’s tax cut proposal.

W tfZpm L 2/24 THE FIRING LINE Anything for cheaper tickets What is happening at the University? It appears that it will become very costly to attend the University. Tuition deregulation appears imminent. Course catalogs will not be printed for the summer semester. Ticket prices for UT foot­ ball games will increase, including OU tickets, which will increase by 30 bucks for students. Residents living in the dorms next year will be required to pay $1 ,200 for dorm food. Every student will be required to pay $2 a year for more statues. Here’s an idea: the University should not print course catalogs for any semester ever. Let students use their food money wherever they want and scrap the statues. You know what, forget about all that. Charge me what you want ju st keep the football tickets the same price! Thomas Gallagher M echanical engineering Freshman Dissing a sacred symbol The flag doesn’t have a viewpoint; it’s simply our nation’s symbol. It is not George W. Bush, America’s for­ eign policy or multinational corpora­ tions suppressing the quality of life of others. The flag is America and embodies all of its values. Basketball player Toni Smith, a senior at Manhattanville College believes she has the "right” to turn from the flag during the national anthem at her basketball games. She claims to protest the govern­ ment’s “ priorities” and how, in her words, it’s bent on “expanding its own power." What she is protesting, however, and the way in which she has decided to do it, are two differ ent things. If she hates Bush, fine, criticize him. If she can't stand Nike and how it underpays and over­ works its foreign employees, OK, oppose Air Jordan and buy some RooShoes. However, to disrespect the flag is to disrespect all those who have fought and died for it. To turn your back on our most sacred national symbol is to turn your back on our men and women who have proudly preserved a tat­ tered cloth from countless fields of battle so that young Ms. Smith could grow up and play basketball in the best country in the world. Dennis P. Jamouneau Law student End anti-Arab bonding I, the undersigned American, out of a love for America that far sur­ passes any allegiance to a foreign power, reject the U.S.-lsrael “ spe­ cial bond” as being counter to everything America stands for. By supporting Israel, a nation whose ruling coalition supports the ethnic cleansing or “transfer” of Palestinians out of Israel, the occu pied Palestinian West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, U.S. says to the world it has no regard for human rights or international law. By supplying Israel with more than $2 billion worth of arms every year — as Israel violates dozens of U.N. resolutions — America shreds any credibility it has for urging war on Iraq for similar violations. By supply­ ing Israel, the sole nation in the Middle East in possession of nuclear weapons, with military aid, America shows the world it is not serious about containing the spread of weapons of mass destruction. Finally, by supporting Israel — even as it occupies and colonizes the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem in violation of international law, makes war on Palestinian civilians and illegally occupies part of Syria — America is nurturing the same hatred that led to the 9 /1 1 terrorist attacks. It is tim e to sever this “ special” anti-Arab, anti-UN, anti-human rights and anti-international law bond tha t is strangling America. Isaac Boxx Aerospace engineering graduate student Peace is patriotic Daniel Chan's column Thursday (“Anti-war protests betray soldiers in the field” ) is both hostile and mis­ leading regarding recent anti-war protests. He claims that “our troops have received little public respect.” In the last few months I have been to protests in D.C. and Austin (both on campus and off), and at every single one there has been support­ ive mention of the troops. It has been repeatedly affirmed that the target of protests is not American soldiers but rather Bush’s trigger-happy administration. As for supporting Bush, shouldn’t he support his people? After all, he doesn’t send a very positive mes­ sage to the country when by ignor­ ing anti-war protests despite their significant attendance numbers. If Bush was elected fairly and demo­ cratically, then he has a responsibili­ ty to listen carefully to the concerns of his people, rather than pushing them aside. Supporting Saddam isn’t the point of the protests. The point is peace. At no anti-war rally have I heard anyone express support for Saddam. I seriously doubt that he’d take these protests as signs of a global constituency of support. Finally, Chan’s spurious examples of supposed violence to discredit protests was unconvincing. At the D.C. protest in January, there were less than 10 arrests out of several hundred thousand protesters. And one must question if police in Colorado Springs were “ forced” to fire tear gas in the same way that Austin police were “forced" to arrest people demonstrating peacefully (not disruptively) in front of the Dobie Mall in December. Peace is patriotic. Tessa North American studies ju nio r Stop bashing, take a stand Last weekend, the University Democrats approved a resolution declaring opposition to war in Iraq. While one can make a reasonable argument for sustaining the inspec­ tions for a bit longer, the argument for inspections misses the main point at hand: inspections won’t work without Iraqi cooperation. Unfortunately, opposition to using force seems to be heavily motivated by opposition to President Bush, rather than a substantive disagree­ ment over the solution to the prob­ lem. I certainly agree that Bush is to blame for the lack of unity in the international community and I regret the negative image our country has around the world as a result. Nonetheless, my complaint with the Bush administration's lack of diplo­ matic deftness is not relevant to how this problem ought to be resolved. Would the University Democrats resist the use of force had Clinton been in charge? As a Democrat, I’m afraid the anti-war sentiments are sympto­ matic of the larger problem Democrats face nationwide. Putting down Bush, calling him an idiot or simply ranting against everything he University’s new dining plan inefficient By Junjay Tan Daily Texan C olum nist Structure does not accurateL describe the typical student's day: D ecisions are made on the fly, sch ed u les aren't fo llo w ed and conversations are hurriedh con­ cluded betw een ( lasses. I \ on gas­ tronom ic need s are som etim es neglected as m any students rou­ tinely skip meals to attend stnd\ sessions or classes. The Departm ent of H ousing and Food Services' 2003-2004 dorm m eal plan aim s to giv e stu­ dents greater Imam ial power, but it could handicap them in several significant w av s it not carefully planned out Beginning this sumirle i, DHFS w ill provide one meal plan to r all dorm residents. Known as D ine In system w ill D ollars, replace the current system called D ining Dollars. the new Before, students could choose plans ranging from bronze ($754 dining dollars, $5,724 total for a double in the dormitory and use of the com m unity bath) to plat­ inum ($1,182 d in in g dollars, $6,188 total for double and com ­ m unity bath). The Department o f Housing and Food Services' 2003-2004 dorm meal plan aims to give students greater financial power but it carefully could handicap them in several significant ways planned out. The 2003 meal plan allocates $1,200 to Dine In Dollars, $300 to Bevo Bucks for a total price of $6,089 for a double and comm uni- tv-bath dorm room. This w ould be appropriate except D ine In Dollars w ill be restricted to pur­ c h a se s at DHFS-operated outlets, like the Jester Cafeteria, w hile stu­ dents can currently use Dining Dollars at vendors on and around cam pus. U nder the n ew plan, Dine In Dollars cannot be used to pav for laundry, and leftover dol­ lars expire o n e sem ester after a student leaves the dorm. f rom a financial standpoint, the upcom ing plan appears benefi­ cial More m on ey for free. But what are the other costs7 To spend the dollars in a tim ely fashion, stu­ dents m ust constantly eat often unim pressive cafeteria food. Of course, food at DHFS restaurants becom es mom expensive after one leaves the dorms. Another cost kicks in once the cafeterias close. A third cost is time: One might have to w alk from studying at the UGL to Jester City Limits for a late-night meal to use up those D ine In Dollars, w h ile W endy's is right around the comer. equal $1,533.06, A ssum ing a student eats three meals a day in DHFS cafeterias, M onday through Saturday, and tw o meals a day every Sunday for a 34-w eek school year, his total biH w o u ld just enough to tinish all his D ine In Dollars and Bevo Bucks. But this is a huge assumption. M ost stu- dents have trouble w aking up for class on time, much less breakfast. A lso, m ost stu dents don't eat lunch or dinner everyday at the cafeterias because other events coincide with the cafeteria hours. Plus, UT dorm food is just plain bad — on e more reason students eat out every once in a while. Eating o u t helps students stay sane. But u sing the m easly am ount o f Bevo Bucks for outside food, esp ecially w hen they're needed for laundry, wrould seem a w aste w h en so many dining dol­ lars are left. So w e must chug dowm Jester's slop. M any students often eat after 7 p.m., after cafeteria hours. This isn't a big problem for those in the Jester area w'ith Jester City Limits nearby. For those in Kinsolving, choices are severely limited. Kin's K om er has a small but unhealthy selection. Then there is the time issue. Eating at the cafeterias takes at least half an hour. One must sit, socialize and queue m ultiple times to grab third helpings of yesterday's "shrimp" gum bo. Som etim es grabbing fast food and returning to study is more time efficient. Again, the D ining Dollar dilem m a rears its ugly head. Why w aste precious Bevo Bucks if one doesn't have to? That7s not to say the 2003 meal plan will be bad; on the contrary, it could be very beneficial for stu­ dents if DHFS considers other stu­ dent needs beyond the financial ones. Jester City Limits and Kin's Kom er could be open for longer hours (similar to W endy's) with m ore these selections. Since restaurants don't tie diners dow n like buffets, students can grab food and quickly leave. Finally, if the upcom ing idea for a Jester supermarket com es to fruition, the meal plan w ould be perfect. Students could buy cereal, bread, milk and ham to make their o w n meals at their leisure. All the w hile the huge reservoir of dining dollars could be used, sav­ ing precious Bevo Bucks. DHFS m ust realize that flexibility and tim e are just as im portant as m oney to college students.

BRIEFS Continuing and Extended Education program awarded The UT Division of Continuing & Extended Education will accept two national awards for its marketing and promotions efforts at a Continuing Education Association confer­ ence in Chicago on March 29. The 2003 Marketing & Publications Awards of Excellence Program has recog nized a division-marketing poster titled "UT for You, Too” with a silver medal and the companion “UT4U2” logo won a bronze medal. The winning poster and logo were among 300 entries in competition. Tom Hatfield, dean of continu­ ing education & extention, said the division is often better known across the state than in the University community. "We created the ‘UT4U2’ cam­ paign to help us inform our markets about the unique ways in which we extend the resources of the University to students and non students, both on and off campus," Hatfield said. — Erin Keck Colorado officials consider awarding tuition vouchers DENVER — Colorado could become the first state to adopt a voucher-like system that gives tax money directly to students instead of universities. Under a bill state legislators unveiled Thursday, the state would award each high school student about 66 percent of the average public college tuition or $4,600 annually up to four years. Students would be responsi­ ble for the remaining cost through tuition payments, finan­ cial aid or grants. The vouchers would be available as a flat fee. Supporters, including many college and university officials, call the plan more student- friendly because it would allo­ cate state money to students instead of institutions. “It puts the money out in the open, puts it on the table,” University of Northern Colorado President Kay Norton said. “I think very few students will be able to walk away.” Legislators said they will look for more sponsors and plan to introduce the bill next week, said Rep. Keith King, the Republican sponsor of the bill. — Associated Press Virginia student candidate reports assault, racial slur CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A candidate for student council president at the University of Virginia told police she was assaulted by a man who made a racial slur.

Lundy, who is of Korean and black heritage, was treated for minor injuries and released, said Patricia M. Lampkin, vice presi­ dent of student affairs. Lundy said she was accosted as she leaned into her car to get a cell phone. The man grabbed her by the hair, slammed her head against the steering wheel and made a racist comment about her student council bid, she said. She also said she had received threatening phone calls. “There’s no doubt it was a hate crime,” U.Va. Police Department Capt. Michael Coleman said.

Ten min­ utes later the building's elec­ tricity went out again, said Leroy Latiker, an urban studies senior who was attending class at the time on the third floor of the UTC. Latiker said he was concerned that fire alarms did not sound. "They need to do something about the fire alarm — it's prettv dangerous," Latiker said. Bruce Taylor, battalion chief and critical issues officer for the Austin Fire Department, said the problem stemmed from an electrical bus overload The problem created a small explo­ sion and smoke and caused some tiles from the basement s ceiling to fall. "There was some visible smoke on arrival, but dissipated on its own, pretty much," Taylor said. Although the s ix fire trucks, ambulance and hazard materials truck created a scene, Tav lor s a i d this number of resoun e s is stan­ dard for a high-rise alarm. The Office of the Registrai spent the rest of the afternoon rescheduling classes and advised students to check v\ ith faculty and related departments tor relo­ cated classes. Rhonda Weldon, a facilities spokeswoman, said the financial impact of the outage has not yet been determined Texas Tech to increase student fees By Jackie Caradonio Daily Texan Staff Texas Tech students could pay up to 19 percent more in student fees starting this summer. The Texas Tech Board of Regents on Thursday approved the increase in student fees, with a 19 percent cap, in order to compensate for state budget cuts in higher education. The increase is part of a Global Fee Document that Tech submits annually to the Board in order to implement fee changes, Tech Provost William Marcy said. While a 19 percent rise in fees may seem excessive, Kelli Stumbo, lech's Student Government Ass­ ociation president, said the figure reflects what she calls a "worst- cast' scenario." "With the increase, the Board is preparing for what it might be hit with ... If the budget cuts are not as severe, they will work on low­ ering the fees," she said. Stumbo also said the fees are necessary to maintain Tech's stan­ dards of education. Unlike the state's flagship universities, Tech has rtx)m to expand and bring in more students, she said. In order to do so, more revenue would be required to accommodate a larger student body. But Louis Constancio, a public relations senior, said he doubts that Tech has the capacity for sucH growth, saving the goal to bring in new students could come at the expense of education standards students," "We're not equipped to deal said with more Constancio, who recently ran for SC,A president on an anti-fee platform. "Classrooms are over­ crowded, buses are overcrowded, medical facilities are overcrowd­ ed. [A fee increase] focuses more on quantity instead of quality." Constancio added that increases in both tuition and student enroll­ ment would create a self-perpetu­ ating negative effect on those stu­ dents who rely on financial aid. "T he more students that come in on financial aid, the less every one is going to get," he said. "There's not enough money to go around, and it's going to affect a lot of students." State appropriations represent 45 percent of Tech's revenue. Student fees and tuition, otherwise known as "local funds," comprise the remaining 55 percent. Tech projects a loss of almost $14 mil­ lion due to the state's budget cuts. Diminishing funds for publicly funded universities has become a crucial issue across the state. Tuition deregulation numbers among the proposed solutions to address the problem. Tech Chancellor David Smith has stated in the past that he dis­ approves of tuition deregulation, claiming that it will do more harm than good for Tech. Since deregu­ lation would markedly increase tuition fees, it could result in fewer students from lower income fami lies attending Tech.

Faulkner said that he could not provide reasons for Board approvals, but said that building projects warrant close review. "We tried to closely examine the building projects," Faulkner said. "Some were through gifts that can't be used to operate the University." John Pruett, an economics jun­ ior and UT Watch member, asked why the UT system is experiencing a shortfall with $3.5 billion in unrestricted funds and $7 billion in permanent uni­ versity funds. Faulkner disputed the $3.5 billion figure and the term "unrestricted." He explained that as an endowment fund, the PUF cannot be spent. Instead, the system can only spend inter­ est from the fund. Funds avail­ able to the University from the PUF amount to $117 million for the current fiscal year and will be reduced to $112 million in the next year. "They w ill into the future, but they can't be spent," Faulkner said. feed After the forum, Pruett said his question remained unan­ swered. He said the unrestrict­ ed funds could still be a source of funding, as well as better uti­ lization of UT System land holdings. "There are alternate means of raising the revenue besides cut­ ting faculty and raising prices for students ... they're not focus­ ing on teaching curriculum and they don't care about," Pruett said. Faulkner presented four options to meet the budget shortfalls: tuition deregulation or infrastructure fees, repeal of a state "research tax" and opera­ tional deregulation. "research The Texas tax" requires that 50 percent of over­ federal head dollars research grants be returned to from If the Legislature does not pass tuition deregulation, then infrastructure fees will become necessary the University's needs, Faulkner said. to meet "Some degradation of the infrastructure that you're look­ ing at is a result of the fact that we're not spending enough money on it," Faulkner said. "We knew that a year ago, and we tried to deal with it, but we'll have to find a way to deal with it another time." Faulkner said that tuition deregulation alone would not solve budget problems. He said that reducing costs and opera­ tions are necessary. "W e cannot just shift costs from the Legislature to the stu­ dents and parents," Faulkner said. One audience member expressed concern about possi­ ble layoffs. Faulkner responded that personnel reductions are likely given the U niversity's finan­ cial straits. For the moment, these decisions are in the hands of the vice presidents, deans and program leaders until they submit their budget plans to the budget council on March 7. "I can't tell you what the fall­ out w ill be," Faulkner said. "I think some of the fallout w ill be reduced employee levels." Another audience member asked for comfort in light of the somber news. "A ll the great universities have been through tough times and good times," Faulkner said. "There aren't any simple answers. In the end, I believe that the strength of this institu­ tion w ill manifest itself, the val­ ues of the the institution will manifest themselves... In the meantime, we have a lot of hard work to do." t h e U n i v e r s i t y of T e x a s a t A u s t i n / C o l l e g e o f F i n e A r t s P H H Theatre & Dance u d e n t a p a r t m e n t !

Page 6 Groups, police stress safety at Mardi Gras Police ask revelers to keep on watch for violence By G il Song Daily Texan Staff Mardi Ciras revelers have been asked to watch each others' backs — when th ey're not too busy watching each others' fronts— lo r this weekend. SafePlace, Travis County's sex­ ual and domestic violence sur­ the D ow ntow n vival center, Austin Alliance and the Austin Police D epartm ent have com e together in a joint effort to create a safe environm ent for Mardi Gras, particularly for women. SafePlace em phasized should that dow ntow ngoers call police if they w itness anyone being harassed or hurt during Mardi Gras. "W e're Irving to teach people to be courageous bystanders," said Autumn Keiser, a spokes­ woman for SafePlace "W e want to make sure the smaller things don't turn into larger things. It's better to have someone call the police before things get out of hand." Several clubs, bars and restau­ rants on Sixth Street have been working with SafePlace in vari­ ous cam paigns the past three years. Previous campaigns "Anv kind of awareness is good awareness," said Stephan Griffith, manager of Shakespeare's Pub. "If [the campaign] helps one person who's in trouble, then it did its job." include "Watch That Drink," a program with 60 participating bars and clubs to warn club-goers about date rape drugs such as Rohvpnol and C j H B , and "Clubs with a Conscience," a program to bring recognition to bars and clubs that make it a point keep their patrons safe. Eighteen bars and clubs have joined since the program's incep­ tion to Keiser. last wreek, according "W e wanted to give higher vis­ ibility and recognition to those venues," Keiser said. Posters and coasters with reminders to keep Mardi Gras safe will be distributed at loca­ tions throughout Sixth Street. The tradition of women baring their breasts for beads, in combi­ nation with excessive alcohol consumption, h a s led to crowds getting too rowdy in previous Mardi Gras celebrations. For pre­ ventative m easures, APD will have a total of 300 uniformed, undercover and mounted officers on dutv each night of the celebra­ tion. Fexas Alcohol and Beverage Commission agents will also be working the nights leading up to Fat Tuesday. .Normal regulations will be in place during Mardi Gras: no open or glass containers allowed on the street and a 10 p.m. curfew for teenagers 17 years old and under. Sixth Street will be closed off from Interstate 35 to Brazos, as well as the c r o s s streets from Fifth in Street between, starting at 6 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Tuesday, said Adam Shaivitz, a spokesman for the APD.

Andrew Price/Daily Texan Staff Proposed budget cuts 'chilling, unacceptable,’ analyst says CUTS, FROM 1 regional corporate com ptroller for Cristus Santa Rosa Health Care, testified that her hospital, which mostly serves Medicaid in San Antonio, w a s patients already feeling the crunch — its children's emergency room built to accom m odate 24,000 now serv es 60,000 a year. Doctors and hospitals would also bear the brunt of 12.5 percent cuts as those who provide servic­ es to Medicaid patients would see paym ents drop by 33 percent, Hawkins said. Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, D-El Paso, expressed deep concern of the im pact such payment drops would have on low-income areas. Caregivers whose clientele con­ sists mostly of Medicare patients would no longer be able afford to practice, he said. "W e are going to see a signifi­ cant flight of doctors," Shapleigh said. Haw kins agreed and said that he "didn't have much confidence" in the ability of such low levels of reim bursem ent to maintain health-care serv ices in Medicaid­ concentrated parts of the state. Advocates and Texans affected by cuts said that while they had been bracing for the worst, they were still surprised at the severity of the cuts. "The cuts laid out today are pretty chilling and unaccept­ able," said Lisa McGiffert, senior policy analyst for the Consumers Union. "W e shouldn't balance the budget on the backs of our poor­ est, sickest, frailest people." While the 12.5 percent budget proposal was mandated by the Legislative Budget Board, the com m issioner also presented four other proposals that kept adding money on until there was a full recovery of services. $8.2 billion in Medicaid and $611.4 in CH IP funds from the state would be needed to maintain 2003 serv­ ices, Hawkins said. Although the outlook was admittedly gloomy, Senate Finance Chair Teel Bivins, R-Amanllo, repeatedly reminded others that this presentation was not the end- all — just a starting point. "We are going to try to do the best job we can to meet the needs of the people of Texas," he said. "It's my hope that we are going to at least find some non-tax rev­ enues that we can use to help shore up this budget." KVRX 91.7 FM PRESENTS A BENEFIT FEATURING... BRIEFS Law relaxes requirements for rabies vaccinations The annual trip to the vet’s office for thousands of dogs, cats and their owners could be a thing of the past in Texas. Rabies shots, once a yearly requirement for pets, will now come in three-year intervals, fol­ lowing a ruling by the Texas Board of Health on Thursday. Local governing bodies can retain the tougher one-year stan­ dard if they choose. All but a handful of states require vaccinations every two to three years, said Jane Mahlow, director of the department’s Zoonosis Control Division. The vaccine has been proven effec­ tive for more than three years, and multiple vaccinations do not increase prevention, she said. Under the new law, dogs and cats must be vaccinated at four months, followed by another shot 12 months later. Then the three- year cycle begins. Veterinary organizations opposed the rule change. “Compliance is poor now, and common sense tells us that it will get worse under this statute,” said Mark Cox, an El Paso véteri narian and chairman of the Texas Veterinary Medical Association. — Wes Ferguson HIV/AIDS program officials to rethink budget proposal The state program that pro­ vides HIV and AIDS medication to patients with low income will seek new ways to overcome budget deficits after its initial pro­ posal met "overwhelming” public opposition. In November, Texas HIV Medication Program officials pro­ posed cutting back on the num­ ber of people who qualify for the program. Instead of admitting people whose incomes are no more than 2 0 0 percent above the federal poverty line, officials proposed lowering the cutoff to 140 percent. The Texas Board of Health let the proposal die on Thursday, forcing program officials to start the process anew. "We would like to get this resolved as soon as possible, but our main concern is to the citizens of Texas,” said George McCleskey, board chairman, stressing that officials find the “fairest approach” for everybody. — WF Senate OKs bill banning jury deliberation recording The Texas Senate approved leg­ islation Thursday that would ban the taping of a jury while it is deliberating. The bill by Sen. Jon Lindsay, R- Houston, com es after the Court of Criminal Appeals this month prohibited a Houston judge from allowing the PBS series Frontline to videotape jury deliberations in a death penalty case. In a 6-3 decision, the court determined that a video camera would create outside influence and pressure on the jury by allowing potentially millions of viewers to peek into the secret discussions. Lindsay said some of the dis­ senting justices said allowing jury deliberations to be recorded was a terrible idea, but they noted it was not against the law. They recommended lawmakers prohib­ it the practice, he said. Lindsay said there were several problems with allowing delibera­ tions to be recorded, including that people being recorded “may play to the camera." "People change the way they present themselves when they know they are being recorded,” Lindsay said. The bill now goes to the House. — Associated Press Officer: 6 ,0 0 0 rem inder cards sent to jurisdiction WARRANTS, FROM 1 be involved 111 the sweep. Stark said. Stark advised those with war­ rants to pay them off today to avoid the risk being caught in the round-up tomorrow. Law enforcement officials will coor­ dinate their efforts to find as many people as possible and cross-check them for multiple warrants in different cities. "W e have found that combin­ ing forces has increased our abil­ ity to close som e of these cases. We get more response when we do it this way," Stark said. In addition to Saturday's war­ rant sweep, law enforcem ent officials will also check license plates for outstanding warrants early next week, Stark said. "People should beware— if they think they have a warrant, they might consider that before coming dow n to Mardi Gras," Travis County Constable Drew McAngus said his office sent out about 6,000 reminder cards in his jurisdiction to remind people to take care of their warrants. "W hat we're really wanting to do is get people to pay the fine or post bond. The last resort for us is to put somebody in jail," McAngus said. Many people have been call­ ing and coming in to take care of outstanding w arrants, and McAngus said his office is trying to make it as convenient as pos­ sible, even it it means staying open late tonight. "If there's a long line, we'll just keep going until the line dwindles," McAngus said. Closing times for precincts in Travis County vary, and people with warrant questions are encouraged to call.

Some of the talk was coming from the players them­ selves, but now, they're backing it up with an eight-game winning streak and a No. 10 ranking. "A t the beginning of the year we talked about a championship, but it was just talk," Texas coach Jody Conradt said. "Everyone is so focused, and everyone is play­ ing their role. Now, it's more than just talk." All of the talk and hoopla will come full circle on Sunday, as Texas (20-5,13-1 Big 12) will trav­ el to Lubbock to face the No. 7 Texas Tech Lady Raiders (23-3, 12-2 Big 12). With wins on Sunday and in the final regular season gam e on Wednesday, Texas will be guaranteed at least a share of the Big 12 title. Conradt, who was recently named one of 20 finalists for the Basketball Naismith College in Coach of the 'tear Award, won 10 the now titles conferences defunct Southwestern Conference, but has vet to win a Big 12 title since joining the conference in 19%. "We came into the Baylor game talking about making the trip to Lubbock mean som ething," Conradt said. "Now it does mean something. This i^ what you play the game for." Texas left the Baylor game with a 79-57 win, sweeping the Bears in the season series. Heather Schreiber led the team in scoring with 23 points, but the statistic that was more impressive was another 23, a team season-high 23 assists for the Longhorns. "W e need to continue moving the ball, against Tech especially," Conradt said. "We had over 20 assists in each of the last two games. That gives us great offen­ sive flow. In transition, it's hard to three-point shooter when you're on defense." find a The increased offensive flow has led to a Texas three-point barrage in the past few gam es, as the Longhorns have hit 23 of 38 three-point attem pts in the last against Colorado, N ebraska and Baylor.

Texas will be com peting for their first conference title since 1999 after finishing second to Nebraska last year. "I'm expecting each person to demonstrate at a ver)' high level what 'Texas Fight' is all about," head coach Bubba Thornton said. "To compete with great emotion, with confidence and [with] a focused attitude that makes their com petitors they're feel going to have a long day. I think it is important when we get to the competition side that each person is there demonstrating that 'Texas Fight' that brings each athlete up to that level." like No. 12 Nebraska, Kansas State and Texas will be in the mix to win the title, along with Texas A&M, which is one of seven teams in the country ranked 21st, including fellow Big 12 opponent Missouri. "A & M can com e in with a strong showing if some of their athletes have a big m eet for them ," Thornton said. "They haven't done it to this point, but we know they have those athletes, and they have that capability." In the high jump, the competi­ tion will be razor-thin with less than an inch separating four jumpers that share the No. 6 spot Texas to fa ce o ff against Bobby Knight and Texas Tech one more time By Darren W. Dum m lt Daily Texan S taff Life on the road hasn't been easy for the Texas Longhorns. In fact, life tin the road hasn't been easy for any­ one in the Big 12. With the Longhorns' only conference losses com ing at Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma State, No. 5 Texas comes into Saturday's game at Texas Tech with a 3-3 record in Big 12 road contests. To demonstrate how difficult winning on the road has become, the top half of the conference has a combined home record of 79-6. When Oklahoma lost at Missouri on Wednesday, the Longhorns became tied for second in the conference with the Sooners; only a game behind Kansas for the Big 12 regu­ lar reason title. And with only three games remaining on the schedule, every game now becomes a must-win. "This time of year, regardless of where you are, you have to play with urgency if you want to be playing your best basketball," Texas head coach Rick Barnes said. "You look at Texas Tech and here's a team fighting for an NCAA Tournament bid, and they've got big hom e games against us and Kansas coming up." Though Tech head coach Bob Knight said that his team 's tournament hopes were over before last week's loss to Texas, the Red Raiders injected a little life into itself with a dramatic win at Oklahoma State on Monday. Tech enters Saturday with a 16-8 overall record, but only a 6-7 record in the Big 12. Combo guard Andre Emmett, the Big 12's leading scorer who was benched for Tech's last game against the Longhorns, is now back and playing at the top of his game. Emmett played all 40 minutes against OSU, scoring 30 points, grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out four assists. Senior Nick Valdez, who was also benched against Texas last week, has since left the team. But T.J. Ford and the Texas players are more concerned about themselves than their opponent. "W e're getting better every game, and we've still got a lot of room for improvement," Ford said. "The biggest thing is shutting our opponents down better than we're doing now." The Longhorns held Baylor to 3-24 from three-point land in Wednesday night's yawner, and Jam es Thomas was responsible for fouling out the opposing center for the sec­ ond straight game. Thomas is averaging 18 points and 17 rebounds in the last two games, and Brandon Mouton is averaging 20 points in his last four games. But while the starting five is hitting its collective stride, Barnes had shown concern about his bench after it scored only one basket against Oklahoma State. Those worries, however, have somewhat subsided after the Baylor game when Brian Boddicker connected for 19 points and Terrell Ross played a significant number of m in­ utes with much more confidence than he had shown the past few weeks. "I feel better about [the Baylor game] because of the pro­ duction we got off our bench," Barnes said. "[Terrell] had been playing tentative, playing not to make a mistake. H e's a much better player when he plays off his instincts." With at least two top seeds still up for grabs in the Big Dance, Texas knows that a strong finish would put them in the position they want to be in. "W e're not yet where we want to be," Mouton said. "W e want to be No. 1, and right now somebody has our spot." By C lin t Hale Daily Texan Staff With inclement weather preventing Tuesday's matchup between Texas and Rice, the Longhorns travel to California this weekend with the hopes that the bad conditions won't follow them. Texas will be in Fullerton taking part in the Kia Baseball Bash at Goodwin Field — a weekend that will see the Longhorns face three different ballclubs in th a v days. Texas received a dose of reality last weekend, dropping two of three games to No. 7 Stanford in falling to 12-3 on the season.

Texas em erged from the road trip 2-3, b egin ning with a three- m atch losin g streak an d finishing stro n g at the N a tio n a l Team Indoors. The three losses cam e a g a in st G eorgia, G eorgia Tech, and D uke. "T h e G e o rg ia w eek en d w a s o b viou sly d isap p o in tin g," coach M ichael C en ter said .

S op h om ore R oger G u b ser had a sim ilar reaction. "We went to Georgia with expec­ tations that w e might get two wins, but w'e cam e out with two losses," said Gubser, who did not finish either of his matches in Georgia due to the other team s' clinching victo­ ries. "It really gave us a reality check that m ad e u s believe we had to bounce back because there w as no w ay that w e w ere going to let this ruin our season." D espite losing their first match the next w eekend at the N ational Team Indoors to D uke, Texas felt like they w ere on their w ay back to playing in the sam e m ode that w on them top 10 ranking. In a way, the lo ss to D uke w as a p o si­ tive experience for the team. "I felt that w e played w ith more of a sense of w anting to get the win a s o p p o sed to protecting our ran k," G u b ser said. "We played the* role o f aggresso r instead of defender, and it's alw ay s easier to be the aggressor." By the tim e Texas played San D iego State and U SC, the m atch­ e s w ere not even close. Texas beat San D iego State 4-1, then pro­ ceeded to rout the higher-ranked and defen din g national ch am pi­ on U SC in a 4-0 show ing. "In our last two matches we im proved, played better, and 1 def­ initely think we played our best match of the year against U SC ," coach Center said. "I felt like we were as com petitive as w'e'd been at all nine spots all year long." N ow the team is h ap py to be hom e, and they are hoping that T h ursd ay aftern oon 's w'eather is indicative o f the conditions that they can expect this w eeken d w hen they take on Rice an d M innesota. "I think w e h ave a go o d team, and we believe in each other, so I think w'e can com e out w'ith a go o d result," junior All-Am erican Jose Zarhi said . "W e're just goin g to go out there and try' to prove o u rselves." "Th e sch edu le is not getting any easier over the w eeken d," C enter said . "T h is is on e o f the best team s Rice h as ever had, and M innesota h as proven that they are a top 10 team, so I expect tw o really tough m atches this w eek­ en d ."

"It's ab ou t w hat you actually do, and right now w e've done nothing." What the Longhorns have done so far this season, though, has been impressive. They have post­ ed eight autom atic qualifiers for National Indoor Cham pionships, and 10 additional provision al times. They have set or tied count­ less school and track records. And they are well on their w ay to light­ ing the Tower with a national championship. How'ever, m ost of the records and qualifications are individual achievem ents that will help in the National Indoor C ham pion sh ips in M arch. But the conference cham pionship requires m ore o f a team effort to wrin. Everyone on the team is eligible to score points for the team, m aking it vital that everyone is prepared.

The $3.2 million bikeway, par­ tially funded by federal grants, w ill run along from U.S. 183 through dow ntow n and end at Lake A u stin Bou levard and Veterans Drive. The resolution also provides $7,500 for installa­ tion of protected left-turn traffic signals along Congress Avenue at intersections between Fifth and Tenth streets. “ I think [Fourth Street] is the best w ay to go and t h e safest w a y for c y c l i s t s , " Councilman D aryl Slusher said. " I don't real­ ly think it's going to be dam ag­ ing to businesses dow n there." The major point of debate about the* resolution is the loca­ tion of the bikeway. M a n y cyclists supported the Fourth stakeholders Street location w'hile manv busi­ the n e s s Warehouse District argued that the bikew ay should be located on Third Street, as originally proposed. in Robin Stallings, Austin resi­ dent and cvclist, said the new' route for bikers w ill bring in the Warehouse tourism District and make Fourth Street a more popular place. to "The Lance Armstrong Bike- w av w ill connect all the neigh- b< irhoods between 1-35, Mopac and 183," Stallings said. H e said while some parking w ould be lost in the immediate Warehouse District area, there w ill actually be more parking after construction w ith new reverse diagonal parking loca­ tions in the vicinity. Some opponents of the bike- w a y being constructed on f ourth Street argued that park­ ing would be lost, and it w ould ( ompticate drivew ay loading for businesses in the area, and the lanes should be constructed on Third Street. C ,reg Schnurr, member of the Board of Directors of the Warehouse District, said busi­ n g si have been left out of the decision-making process. " I think the bikew'ay, as an east-tn-west corridor for bicvcle traffic, is a very necessary' thing for Austin," Szhnurr said. "B u t this ordinance is a situation where the bicvcle guys did not Consult ... There's been no due process," adding that the stakeholders w ill consult an attorney in search of a recourse. the stakeholders H e said the lanes should not be constructed on Fourth Street because there w ill inevitable be conflicts with delivery trucks. H e also said it does not make sense to build it along the street w here light rail is planned. Stallings said no d e livery trui ks w ould be hindered if the lanes were built in the center of the street, as built in other cities.

They were tired of playing artsy pop music and finally felt ready to rock. As guitarist Matt Breedlove said, "We had this going on the side, but not really serious at all. Pop Unknown's singer left, so we dec ided just to do this and move on." Sporting former members of the aforementioned band as well as an ex-member of post­ punks Sparta, kissing Chaos' identity up until this point has largely been guilt by associa­ tion. Though they can acknowl­ edge the helpfulness of market­ ing 'ex-Pop Unknow n' early on, the goal now is to establish their own identity. themselves as " It helps [to mention the association]. That's not to say that it you like Pop Unknown you better come check out Kissing Chaos. If you're a huge fan of their style of music, you might get scared away." "I'v e always been into hard­ core. I had been playing in Pop Unknown for four years and I really missed playing heavier stuff. W e just wanted to do something a bit more aggres­ sive and more exciting to play live." Both Breedlove and drum ­ mer Kevin Fender, the newest addition to the chaotic mix, agree that their hardcore back­ g ro u n d d e f in it e l y s h o w s through despite Kissing Chaos' more rock-oriented sound. The bands' debut E P Enter With a Bullet (Fueled by Ramen) was formally unveiled at the band's C D release party Wednesday night. Kissing Chaos hooked up with the no­ independent budget Florida through another Austinite, for­ mer impossibles singer Rory Phillips. "W e did our demo with Rory," Breedlove said. "H e 's kind of their man, so he gave Fueled by Ramen our demo and told them they should check us out." Phillips has long served as a connection between the Florida based label and central Texas' rock scene, helping to get bands like Recover, Slowreader, and Kissing Chaos signed to Fueled by Ramen. Though reviewers of Kissing Chaos' debut have thrown them into the increasingly popular "emo-core" genre, Breedlove and Fender hope to break out of that categorization as the band progresses. According to the guitar player, "W e don't really listen to that stuff. The first songs on the EP, we're really try­ ing to find ourselves. I hope that the next record will hopefully branch away from that genre because I hate getting pigeon­ holed." Regardless of what categories Kissing Chaos may be placed into, by critics and fans alike, drummer Kevin Fender knows its really simpler than all that. "It's really easy to say, and it still applies: rock and roll," he said. "This is just driving, rock­ ing music." After fours years of incessant touring w ith Pop U nknow n, Breedlove thinks that Kissing Chaos definitely shows the maturity gained in those years. "W e made a lot of mistakes in that band, and we know what not to do now. We're trying to do it right this time," Breedlove said. But Kissing Chaos has no plans to abandon that life on the road just yet. Much of the spring and summer months w ill be spent touring "as much as is financially possible" to increase their "very, very, very, very, very small national fol­ lowing." "A n d in between now and then we're trying to write the record," Breedlove said. That essential time on the road, although long and gruel­ ing, is important to Kissing Chaos, as they don't want to be stuck with the "local band" label and confined to the limita­ tions that come with it. "W h en I think 'local band' I think about bands you see play­ ing Antone's twice a week," Fender said. "I don't want to be in a band that plays every hard­ core show that comes through Austin. From an audience member point of view, you always want more variety than that." Breedlove added that Kissing Chaos' goal is to never play in Austin more than "once every four to six weeks." formula for Kissing Chaos' success in 2003 seems to be a simple one: rock hard and have fun. Fender said, " I can't put it any more simply — this is just really fun to play. It's a blast playing with these guys. We all get along, and we all have fun."

What is lesser known, however, is the way in which this man led his life during early adulthood — the people he met and the series of events that launched him into the monolithic power that he used in his domination and con­ quest over Europe. \ 1 w * ★ * it S t a r r in g Jo h n I ii'U< k . N o a h T a y l o r D ir e c t e d l i t : V i e n n a M M U ............. Max offers a possible expla­ nation of how Hitler came to meet these people and perform these events, all during the quiet before one of the greatest storms of the 20th century. While few real historical and per sonal facts are known about him during this time period, other than the fact that he was an aspiring artist, the film offers an intriguing speculative story of this flirtation with art and the beginning of his fall from decen­ cy and rise to power. Hitler (Noah Taylor) is a soldier in his late 20s who feels as though he has wasted away a large portion of his youth in the lost causes of World War I and wants to redeem himself by becoming an artist. To help him do this, he befriends art dealer Max Rothman (John Cusack) who tells Hitler that he must delve deeper than simple artistic technique and project his frustra­ tions onto the canvas to find his original and authentic voice. A kind of warped friendship devel­ ops between the two of them as Max takes Hitler under his wing — advancing him pay and taking him out to meet girls at a bar. As all of this is going on, Hitler is recruited by the Socialist party to give speeches against the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and toward the cause of anti- Semitism that would serve as one of his primary ramps to power. During a large part of the pre­ release buzz of this film, many were concerned that Hitler would be portrayed as more of an inno­ cent man on the verge of corrup­ tion than someone who was evil to begin with — more of a sta­ ble human than a brutal mon­ ster. While the Hitler seen in Max is not the monster that he eventually became, he is certain­ ly anything but stable. At one point he explains that his dis­ taste for the Jewish people is grounded completely in logic and facts rather than emotion. While this may or may not have actual­ ly been the case, the film is far more concerned with tracing a possible path to Hitler’s eventual actions than it is with presenting justification for them. In feet, it doesn’t justify Hitler’s actions at all — as the credits roll it merely asks audi­ ences to raise the question of what could have happened if Hitler had moved toward tradi­ tional art rather than the art of politics. The primary failing point of the film is that concentration is taken off of Hitler and diverted to Max. While Cusack is any­ thing but boring as Max, he sim­ ply doesn’t have the material to compete with Taylor’s fascinating performance of Hitler, a name commonly thought of as being synonymous with evil, as he begins his descent into mad­ ness. Max acts as a way to view the years leading into one of the darkest times in humanity from a fresh perspective as it demon­ strates that the quiet before the storm was perhaps not as quiet as many may have expected it was. — Justin Webb IMAX t h e a t r e The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum 1800 N.
