The decision followed a 6-1 vo<& in favor of the development at the first hearing held July 11. In both cases, councilman Raul Alvarez produced the sole vote against the proposed construction. For final authorization, the development must be approved again at the third and final reading Aug. 1. At the first reading, the address­ es of tracts 107 and 113, both of which Stratus Properties hopes to develop, were improperly record­ ed. Because of this error, the pub­ lic, normally not included in the second hearing, was given an hour to voice support and an hour to voicé opposition to the pro­ posed development. Citizens who opposed the development, which would cost the dty $16 million in fee-waivers and tax-exemptions, wore gags and held large novelty checks made out to Stratus Corporation from the city. They also carried signs praising Alvarez. Tim Jones, vice chair of the city's Environmental Board, asked the council to adopt a moratorium on new development over the Edward's Aquifer, where Stratus Properties has proposed con­ structing business and commer­ cial buildings, including a grocery store. A total of 148 acres of the land would be given to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, the Circle C Homeowners Association and the dty of Austin. "Until a rigorous sdentific investigation into the effects this development would have on die aquifer, Barton Springs and the Barton Springs Salamander, the council cannot allow new devel­ opment," Jones said. Burton Pierson, a UT graduate and instructor at Concordia University, spoke on behalf of a group of 54 UT Ph.Ds, induding biologists and geologists, who are opposed to the development. "The council has yet to ask the opinion of any biologist or other sdentist on the matter," Pierson said. "Well here it is. This plan is environmentally bad." Criticism of the coundl's restric­ tions on dtizens' right to talk proved to be another volatile issue Thursday, as it was during the pre­ vious hearing. A1 St. Louis, a representative of the Barton Springs Polar Gub, was one of 188 registered speakers against the development who were not assigned part of the one-hour they were given to speak. "This council is disrespecting an aquifer that is hundreds of thou­ sands of years old," St. Louis said.

The resolution directs the dty manager to close Holly units one and two by Dec. 31, 2004. The two remaining units are not scheduled to be shut down until 2009. "I'm really excited we were able to get at least this part of the clo­ sure," coundlmember Raul Alva­ rez said after the vote. Alvarez said the most impor­ tant effed of the resolution is not the closure of the units. the trust between the dty and the community," he said. Alvarez said the previously approved removal of the fuel tanks, coupled with the closure of the two units, gives area residents a much safer and better environment. Mayor Gus Garcia said earlier this week the closure is made pos­ sible in part because of. two new power plants scheduled to be on line by the end of 2003. The dty manager's office esti­ mates the total cost of shutting down the two units, including money already spent, will reach $312.9 million by the end of the Nursing school to train for disasters By Todd Willie Daily Texan S taff The University's School of Nursing is now one of the first schools in the nation offering a course on how to care for victims of mass destruction. The course, "Disaster Nursing," is a result of the Sept. 11 attacks and met for the first time Thursday. While other courses'in public health nursing and emergency room nursing exist, those courses don't emphasize disaster, said Dolores Sands, dean of the School of Nursing. "In public health we emphasize ... keeping people well," Sanders said. "In disaster nursing ... there will be those types of cases where you take care of both the living and the dead. It's instantaneous deci­ sion-making, as opposed to hav­ ing the luxurv of having a team to assist you." Earlier this year, Sands was appointed to the International Nursing Coalition for Mass Casualty Education, a new group based at Vanderbilt University and composed of international nursing, medical, militan, and education experts. Members of the group, who formed the coalition follow­ ing the attacks, began kx>king at how to modify curriculum for col­ lege and continuing education courses to prepare nurses for potential disasters. at Sapds the responded University by forming the elective course, which is open to under­ graduate and graduate students and will teach the structure and organization of health manage­ ment in disaster response. The summer class is held every Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students will learn everything from how to decontaminate vic­ tims at an incident site to how to recognize and treat the psychologi­ cal impact of a mass-casualtv event on victims and health-care profes­ sionals. After the course, they will be able to perform effective triage, appropriately handle human remains, transport victims and complete recovery operations, including reports and debriefings. Not only will nurses be at the forefront of treating victims of a mass-casualtv disaster, but thev could also be the first respondents in a biological terror event • "Willing hands and hearts are no good if thev're not trained," said Holly Herr, a teaching a s s is ­ tant for the course.

The Texas Department of Health sponsored the two-day Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program State Conference. The BCCCP dis­ tributes public funds to nonprofit organizations to provide breast and cervical cancer screenings for women ages 50 to 64, said Rosamaría Murillo, BCCCP pro­ gram administrator. The conference brought together representatives from 41 of those organizations, said Jan Warfield, public information coordinator for the BCCCP.

Candidates pledge to improve law enforcement relations INSIDE By Stephen Palkot Daily Texan Staff GOP Texas attorney general candidate Greg Abbott announced Thursday an initiative he believes will make services of the attorney general's office more accessible to law enforcement professionals. Abbott said a Division of Law Enforcement Liaison woul ’ 4 vide much needed services to Texas law enforcement professionals. Speaking before a crowd of about 100 statewide del­ egates at the annual conference of the Texas Municipal Police Assod ition, Abbott outlined several proposals designed to b ilster the quality of law enforcement in Texas. "We're goir g to do more than have an open door for you," he told *he delegation. "We're going to have a person there who's going to be answering the door, who's going to be listening to you and taking care of the problems and issues that you confront." Democratic candidate Kirk Watson, former mayor of Austin, said he would support the idea of selecting an individual to handle the needs of law enforcement professionals, citing his experiences in Austin a s qual­ ifications for handling the issues of law enforcement officials in Texas. "As mayor, public safety officials knew they had my ear, and thev will have it when I am attorney gen­ eral," Watson said in a statement. "If I find that officers are requesting a specific point of contact, that would be simple to do." Abbott said he supports strong enforcement of Internet and child pornography crimes and the enforcement of the Gtildren's Online Privacy' Protection Act. "If a child walks outside and plays in their front yard, they shouldn't have peoc>le prey on them, look ing to attack them or abduct them," Abbott said.

According to the Department of Justice Web site, “Operation Tips” will be a national system to provide citizens with a means to report suspicious and potentially terror­ ist-related activity they observe in their normal line of work. The Department of Justice expects to launch the system later this summer or in early fall. Participating industries will be given information on how to con­ tact the system’s reporting center. These industries employ workers who have regular routes that take them down roads, rivers, coast­ lines, public transit routes and through neighborhood^ and com­ munities, said Barbara Comstock, director of public affairs at the Department of Justice. Ronnie Dugger, co-chairman for the Alliance for Democracy, said he worries that the plan is “an indica­ tion of our movement towards a police state in the name of terrify­ ing people." “It's all politics, but it’s gone too far when it comes down to asking people to spy on their neighbors,” Dugger said. “That’s urv-American.” Dugger said citizens need to speak out against a war that has yet to be declared. “If this is permitted to continue, and Bush is elected again, I’m not sure we’ll have a free country,” he said. Survey: Most Texans want more sexual assault laws More than three-quarters of Texans want more legislative action tp stop sexual assaults, according to a survey released Thursday by the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault. The survey of 700 adults, ages 18 and over, and 400 teen-agers, ages 14 to 17, was conducted from May to June. It is the first step in a two-year public aware­ ness campaign administered by TAASA and funded by Texas Attorney General John Comyn’s office. Respondents were asked over the telephone how seriously they felt Texas treated sexual assault and if they felt Texas should adjust its treatment. Respondents most worried about sexual assaults included Latino adults, adult women and teen-age girls. “We wanted to make sure we included the Latino perspective, because it is historically underrep­ resented in rape crisis centers,” TAASA representative Chris Lippincott said. “Also, there is often a cultural inclination in the Latino population not to report assaults to the authorities." The survey also found that many people are not aware of the rape ensis services available to them. “We hope that this information will spur our state leaders to improve sexual assault services in Texas communities,” TAASA execu­ tive director Annette Burrhus-Clay said. “There are still 58 counties across the state without rape cri­ sis programs of any kind, and the centers that currently serve our communities are already overex­ tended.” Compiled by Nicole Dreyer WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM JULY 19 Total U.S. production in 2000:1.6 billion gallons, or about 23 quarts per person.

The Lego gears on the conveyor belt began to whir, and when the belt carried the car to the beginning of the next chute, the small vehicle rattled dow n to the final gate. The com­ puter played a little song w hen the car hit the barrier. Elementary school teachers Lisa Beechinore from Round Rock and Kitt Pyle from Pflugerville, with teammate Sintra Persad, a teacher from Cedar Valley Middle School, let out cries of joy, happy that their engineering project worked. The trio's amusement park ride was one of several engineering projects designed and built by local teachers. About 60 teachers were being trained by engineering and natural science professors at the University in partnership with locally-based N ational Instru­ ments in an effort to im prove sci­ ence education in schools. The DTEACh RoboLab Sum m er Inst­ itute offered three sessions, the last of which closed Thursday. About 150 Central Texas school teachers have participated in the program since its inception in 1997. “We don't have enough engi­ neers coming through high school. Students need to know that engi­ neering is a valid career choice," said Becky Rische, communica­ tions director for the University's College of Engineering. In 1997, NI teamed up with the University's DTEACh program, begun in 1991 by several UT sci­ ence professors who wanted to improve science education, partic­ ularly in autom ation. DTEACh uses NI's RoboLab software and Legos to instruct teachers how to design robots that perform simple ‘ tasks. Kris Wood, an engineering pro­ of co-founder and fessor DTEACh, said teachers use the RoboLab the software 200-piece Lego kits creatively with the curriculum to help stu­ dents im prove their problem solv­ ing abilities. and Wood said one class read Dear Mr. Henshaw, a story about some­ one stealing another person's lunch from their lunchbox. The stu dents designed a lock-and- alarm system with Legos and RoboLab to prevent this from hap­ pening, Wood said. “We bring it down to some­ thing [kids] know and use on a daily basis," said Kristi Fairchild, a UT graduate in electrical engi­ neering, who works for N I a n d is a program volunteer a t P ared es M iddle School in South A ustin.

"It's an open-ended o p p o rtu n i­ ty for creativity among stu d en ts," Bash said. Approval needs 1 more vote STRATUS, FROM 1 "When they just ram this thing through, denying the public input, they give the whole thing the feeling of a done deal." Austin Mayor Gus Garcia said he understood people felt their right to speak was being infringed upon, but he pointed out that the council heard 13 hours of public testimony in the first two hearings. “Of all the proposals, this has been the most comprehensive because it involved the city and the stakeholders [in the Circle C neighborhood]," Garcia said. Robert Btuning, director of the Wild flower Center, viewed the proposed plan as a positive solu­ tion to a difficult problem. “Given the possibilities w e are presented, this is the best alterna­ tive," Bruning said. “The com­ promises and solutions in the Stratus deal set a new standard for development."

But the judge — in a rare bench ruling — insisted he take a week to think about it. "I am a member of al-Qaida" pledged to Osama bin Laden, Moussaoui told U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who moments earlier had entered an innocent plea on his behalf to a third indict­ ment. Shortly after that, Mous­ saoui tried to plead guilty. After an arraignment in which Moussaoui often sparred with the judge, Brinkema insisted that Moussaoui think about his deci­ sion for a week. She scheduled a hearing for next Thursday. “I don't need," Moussaoui said in response. "I've been thinking about it for months." - Moussaoui said, however, he wanted to fight the government's attempt to have him executed. The penalty phase normally would come after a guilty plea or convic­ tion. After Moussaoui mentioned bin Laden and ignored Brinkema's attempts to get him to stop talk­ ing, the judge said she would ask federal marshals to remove him from the courtroom. Moussaoui then raised both hands in a defen­ sive position, and it never became necessary for the marshals to act. a T h e arraignm ent had been scheduled after the government indictm ent third obtained against Moussaoui Tuesday, fol­ lowing a new Supreme Court rul­ ing on the death penalty. The new indictment added allegations that enable the government to seek the death penalty. Guilty pleas often work to a defendant's advantage, especially in cases where the death penalty is a possibility. A carefully negotiat­ ed guilty plea'can take that possi­ bility off the table. But there was no indication that Moussaoui has been negotiating with the govern­ ment. indictm ent The original in December accused him of plotting wi th the 19 hijackers and mimick­ ing their conduct, including enroll­ ment in flight schools. W hile gov­ ernment officials believe he was planning to be the 20th hijacker, M oussaoui was in custody on Sept. 11 on immigration violations. g Greek police make terrorist breakthrough BRIEFS Study finds breast-feeding protects i»inst cancer LONDON — The number of chil­ dren women have and the length of time they breast-feed them are the most important factors influ­ encing their chance of developing breast cancer — even more important than genetic factors, major new research shows. The landmark study, published this week in The Lancet medical journal, found that if women in the industrialized world breast-fed each of their children six months longer, they could reduce their chance of breast cancer by 5 per­ cent, even if they have a strong family history of the disease. Experts said the findings help explain the mysterious rise in breast cancer rates over the last century. Army secretary defends job as former Enron executive WASHINGTON — Army Secretary Thomas White said Thursday he is “appalled and angered" by the scandals that drove Enron Corp. into bankrupt­ cy but denied any role in or knowledge of wrongdoing while he was an Enron executive. In testy exchanges with skepti­ cal senators, White repeatedly said he had played no part in manipulating California energy prices and knew nothing of other improprieties while he helped run an Enron subsidiary. He told senators he shared their outrage and their desire “to hold people accountable who were responsible" for illegpl conduct. Although White said after the hearing he had no plans to resign his Pentagon post, Sen. Barbara Boxer, DCalif., urged him to do just that in a letter Thursday. Subway strike makes a mess of London travel LONDON — Commuters elbowed their way onto overcrowd­ ed buses, wove through traffic on bicycles or. simply walked to work Thursday as a 24-hour subway strike turned London into a trans­ portation mess. Members of the Rail Maritime and Transport Union walked off the job at 8 p.m. Wednesday and planned to return to work the same time Thursday, but Underground officials said service would not return to normal until Friday morning. The union says London Underground management has failed to arrange full consultation with union safety representatives over Prime Minister Tony Blair’s plans to partially privatize the sub­ way system, known as the Tube. Compiled from Associated Press reports By The Associated Press ATHENS, Greece — In a major breakthrough against the elusive November 17 terrorist group, Greek police announced Thursday they captured a leader of the radical leftist organization and had confes­ sions from three other members for bombings and shootings, including * the assassinations of American and British military attaches. In all, Police Chief Fotis Nas- siakos said, seven alleged group members were in custody — the first arrests of November 17 mem­ bers since the group emerged 27 years ago with tne assassination of Richard Welch, the CIA's station chief in Athens. Since then, November 17 has claimed responsibility for 22 other killings — including those of four American officials, two Turkish diplomats and Greek business­ men and politicians — and dozens of bomb and rocket attacks. Its last victim was British defense attache, Brig. Stephen Saunders, shot dead in June 2000. Police penetrated the group as Greece came under increasing international pressure to improve security before the 2004 Olympics. The governing Socialists nave faced international criticism for failing to crack down on domestic terrorism. But authorities did not spell out how the group operated with impunity for more than a quarter-century. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher declined to say if the United States would seek to extradite the suspects but praised Greek efforts against the group. "This has been a very good effort by Greek authorities ... and we commend them for that," Boucher said. Nassiakos said three of the sus­ pects were brothers — sons of a Greek Orthodox priest — who served November 17 as execu­ tioners. "This will clear a cloud that has been hanging over G reece.... This is a very great success for Greece and the government," Deputy Foreign Minister Yannis Magriotis said. An American Olympics securi­ ty expert praised Greece for crack­ ing tne case. "I think Greece's efforts are out­ standing in ... dealing with a prob­ lem that has been around for a long time," said David Tubbs, who headed security at the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City. November 17, which police esti­ mate has fewer than a dozen mem­ bers, was believed to have targeted Americans and their allies because of Washington's backing of the Greek military dictatorship that ruled from 1967 to 1974. After the fall of the junta, left- wing and anti-American sentiment remained strong throughout the country and defined a generation of politicians, many of whom partici­ pated in the Nov. 17,1973, student uprising from which the group took its name. The student opposi­ tion evolved, in part, into the Socialist Party that has governed Greece for 18 of the past 21 years. November 17 has been on the State Department's terrorism list since the 1980s. CEO of AOL Time Warner, Pittman, resigns from post By The Associated Press NEW YORK — Bob Pittman is stepping down as chief operating officer of AOL Time Warner as part of a management shake up, the company announced Thursday. Tne announcement comes after weeks of speculation that Pittman had been unhappy with pres­ sures from sen­ ior managment at AOL Time Warner. Pittman had been dis­ patched in April to the rescue AOL division, whose bad for­ tunes had been weighing down Former AOL the company's Time Warner stock. CEO Bob a Pittman Pittman, veteran of the AOL side of the company, had been widely associated with lofty promises for growth made to investors shortly after the merger of AOL and Time Warner was announced in 2000. The company never fulfilled those promises and angered investors by sticking to those tar­ gets long after most observers stopped believing them. As part of the snake up, two top executives from the Time Warner side of the company were elevated: HBO- chairman Jeff Bewkes and Time Inc. chairman Don Logan. Logan, head of the company's highly successful magazine divi­ sion, will lead a new group of media and communications busi­ nesses, including America Online, Time Inc. and Time Warner Cable. Bewkes will lead an "entertain­ ment and networks" group that will comprise HBO, New Line Cinema, Turner Networks, the WB network, the Warner Bros, movie studios and Warner Music. The announcement of the shake up came after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, where AOL Time Warner had fallen 66 cents, or 5 percent, to $12.45 because of new concerns about its accounting methods. after Thursday AOL Time Warner stock had The fallen Washington Post published an arti­ cle detailing what the paper called unconventional deals to boost rev­ enue before and after the merger. The article said AOL used a num­ ber of unusual tecfiniques to boost its revenue from July 2000 and March 2002. The story, which was based on a review of confidential AOL documents, reported that the company converted legal disputes into advertising deals, shifted rev­ enue from one division to another, and sold ads on behalf of eBay and booked them as its own revenue. AOL spokesman John Buckley said all the transactions discussed in the article were appropnate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our Faculty. Your Neighbors.

FEE FEASABILITY: The University announced this week that they will not charge the infamous infrastructure fee. That means that the $12 million budgeted for building improve­ ments will have to be found elsewhere. Finding tnat money may be difficult, and now buildings in need of repair will have to decay that much longer. The temporary reprieve on student finances is welcome, but the fact remains that many buildings on campus are older than most students and even some administrators. The longer these projects go unfinished, the more repairs will cost in the long run. Perhaps the next time the University decides to build a building, they should decide how they plan on paying for its upkeep. Foresight is a limited commodity, especially when it comes to government accounting. It7s too bad that in the eco- nomic upswing of the late 1990s, UT administrators decided to invest in new buildings while ignoring those already on campus. ispecially ... SALTINE NEWS: Another blond girl from the western United States was kidnapped this week, and the whole nation was wrapped up in finding who kidnapped and killed 5-year- old Melissa Runnion. While 2,000 youths go missing a day in America, the nation's eye turns to the case of a white girl from suburban California. Kidnapping and the accompanying transgressions like sex­ ual assault and murder are serious, and it is always distress­ ing to see a violent act committed against any child. But the media have made it appear that only white children from upscale communities disappear. Unless a black child disap­ pears for a year, as in the case of Florida's Rilya Wilson, they appear to be invisible. As tragic as cases like Danielle Van Dam's and Elizabeth Smart's are, the proliferation of national media coverage serves little purpose other than fueling soccer-mom hysteria of stranger danger. Unless national news organizations want to start giving equal time to every child who's kidnapped, it is best to leave coverage of child abductions to local media out­ lets. ... TRICKY DICK: The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating Vice President Dick Cheney for potential accounting sleight of hand at his former employer, Halliburton. But the American people should be more con­ cerned about Cheney and Halliburton's role in the terrorism war. The oil company, which also has interests in mercenaries and other military services, built Camp X-ray at Guantanamo Bay and has other contracts with the military for things like feeding soldiers. The contract between Kellogg Brown & Root, a Halliburton subsidiary, and the Army is the only Army con­ tract without a specified dollar amount. It was also Dick Cheney in the late-90s who was champi­ oning building an oil pipeline from Central Asia through Afghanistan, where the U.S. military is currently in tne process of stabilizing the nation for foreign investment while spending its free time looking for al-Qaida. Cooking the books is one thing, but having motivation to prolong a war against a hazily defined enemy (you smoke pot, you support a terror­ ist!) in the name of business interests is even more egregious. GALLERY THE FIRING LINE Tea and crumpets offender In defense of my British bloodline, I feel it is necessary to point out the ridiculousness of the July 17 Viewpoint's opening statem ent. The author's knowledge of British government and culture seems to be lim ited to that of a nar­ row-minded to u ris t at best. There is more to be said for British policy than updated marijuana laws. Another rea­ son British policy should be praised: After the school shooting in Dunblane, Scotland, in 1996, Parliament adjusted firearm legislation within 18 m onths. The United States has yet to do anything similar concerning school shootings from years past. So the United Kingdom has no co n stitu tion . A country that makes laws efficiently has no need for a bit of paper to wave around. In comparison, the U.S. C onstitution leaves so many gray areas that any polit ical or social group can inter­ pret it to th e ir advantage. The National Health Service is cumbersom e? Tell that to my grandparents, who wouldn’t be able to afford their inten­ sive health care here in the United States. What’s m ore, criticizing English spelling (Americans spell “American English" any­ way) is as judgm ental as mock­ ing the way Spanish speakers spell th e ir words. I suggest you start learning about foreign culture since, apparently, you are already the master of all things marijuana. Amelia Stone Studio art and French senior Editor's note: The Daily Texan editorial board has members who have traveled, studied or worked abroad while learning about foreign cultures. In the interest of political correctness, we will also reconsider our poli­ cy of depicting the British as the enemy defeated in the American Revolution and as oppressors of American patri­ ots. Besides, we don't want to face the wrath of a military that handily defeated Argentina. Don't privatize UT The beliefs expressed in la s t W ednesday’s Viewpoint (“ You g et w hat you pay for," July 1 0 ) re fle c t not only a lack of understanding from the per­ spective of the author, but a gross misinterpretation of th e purpose of a state-funded school. The article presupposes th a t we are all white middle-class rich kids with no problem hav­ ing mommy and daddy dish o u t the extra money to pay for th e gaps th a t the Texas Legisla­ tu re has irresponsibly allowed to develop between what Texas’ public universities need and what they are given. But on to p of that, the article sug­ g e sts that we move toward th e m odel of private universities. That point of view, however, ignores the fact that state u n i­ ve rs itie s are supposed to be an affordable alternative to pri va te universities. Although pri vate universities do generally have high academic standards, it is not feasible to expect th a t everyone can afford an educa­ tio n at such a high cost. Public universities have a responsibil ity not only to create a com­ p etitive learning environment but to remain accessible as w ell. Molly R o ge rs English senior My body, my choice Maggie Kelly, I recommend th a t you read the Declaration o f Independence and the C onstitution. We the people of these United States hold up the noble ideals that all people are created equal and are endowed by th e ir Creator with certain unalienable rights — rights th a t our government was e sta b lished to defend and protect.

It doesn’t m atter whether you like it or not, whether you think it is im m oral or harmful, because it is my inherited right from b irth to pursue happiness with my liberty in my own life. I can understand your con­ cern for my welfare and safety, but what I cannot understand is the holier-than-thou m entali­ ty that it is in the government's legitimate authority to punish me for my own choice when I have not violated the rights of any other. As one of the 7 50 ,00 0 + peo­ ple arrested each year fo r pri­ v a t e l y and peacefully violating marijuana possession prohibi­ tion laws, I find it sad th a t I live m a country where I can be branded a criminal for life when there is no victim outside of my own body.

In this situation, we can­ not fail to be the object of envy and resentment.

Let’s remember: This is a government that has close ties to corporations that are know­ ingly cheating countless American workers and investors; this is a government th a t thought it prudent to sell arms to a country openly hos­ tile toward Americans (Iran); th is is a government th a t is ceding our sovereignty to secretive, non-democratic world organizations (e.g. WTO).

The first phase of the project, w hich w ill cost approxim ately $32 m illion, w ill reduce the amount of hazardous m aterials in link the buildings and w ill Benedict and Mezes H alls togeth­ er. Joining these two halls togeth­ er w ill create space for tw o new lecture rooms and w ill provide more classroom and office space in central campus for the already overcrow ded and Portuguese department. Mezes H all w ill additionally house the Liberal Arts Instructional Tech­ nology Services. Spanish Although wooden boards cur­ rently cover the oak trees in front of the three buildings in anticipa­ tion of the project, U T officials believe a delay may be on the horizon because of A ttorney General John Com yn's recent rul­ ing on the illegality of the student infrastructure fee. The student infrastructure fee w ould have generated nearly $12 m illion next year for renovation and repair projects on campus. "W ith o u t "The funds raised from the infrastructure fee w ould have been used to fund the Benedict, Mezes and Batts renovation," said Kevin Hegarty, vice president and chief financial officer of the these University. monies, any delay in [the renova­ tion of] any academic building will be attributable to w hat we accounted for. W e'll get less done." President Larry Faulkner said he w ill meet w ith other leaders on campus to prioritize and map out the financial planning for building projects by Sept. 1. Comyn's opinion w ill not have as significant an im pact on the construction of the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art. The University has secured funds for the $58.5 million price tag for Phase I of the museum, w h ich w ill provide exhibition space for its large hold­ ings in W estern European, Am erican and Latin American art. $32 m illio n of the $58.5 mil­ lion w ill com e from gifts and donations, w h ile student-desig­ nated fund the remaining $26.5 million. tu itio n w ill "The Blanton w ill be the only place to d isplay the University's art collection, which is a corner­ stone," H egarty said. "It's very important to maintain and finance our fine arts school." The U n iversity w ill have a for­ mal groundbreaking in October, although construction w ill not begin in earnest until spring 2003, Faulkner said. The U n iversity hopes to have one of the top three university museums in the country upon completion of the Blanton. 2004 fiscal year. Austin Energy m u st still incur $137.1 million in the 2003 fiscal year and $18 mil­ the 2004 fiscal year lion because of the cost of other devel­ oping sources of energy. in City Manager Toby Futrell said in an internal e-mail Wednesday it will cost $18 million to decom­ mission the plant site entirely by 2010. A portion of this figure is already included in the estimated cost of decommissioning units one and two. Futrell said funding for these expenses will come from a "com ­ bination of internal cash from rev­ enues and new debt issues." City staff said they will look into using technology to ensure Susana Almanza, director of People Organized in Defense of Earth and Her Resources, said she was pleased that the councilmem- bers, especially those of color, rep­ resented the views of their con­ stituents and voted in favor of the resolution, but she still had prob­ lems with the resolution. "I still feel it needs to be an ordinance instead of a resolu­ tion," Almanza said, explaining that ordinances, unlike resolu­ tions, are binding. Alvarez said both ordinances and resolutions can be changed by future councils. Almanza also called for finan­ cial or legal penalties to be put into effect against future councils A1 St. Louis, an Austin resident, compared the Holly Power Plant to the other main issue of the night while urging the dty coun­ cil to provide additional incen­ tives and rebates for energy-sav­ ing appliances, which he said would make the plant closure more viable. "Holly has one thing in com­ mon with Stratus," St. Louis said. "They both pollute." Alvarez said he would not stop his efforts with the partial closure of the plant. "My ultimate goal is to shut down all of the plant as soon as possible," he said.

From the director of the Sundance award winning homosexuality-focused docu­ mentaries, Licensed to Kill and Coming Out Under Fire, Family Fundamentals exam­ ines the lives of three con­ servative Christian families with gay or lesbian children. Arthur Dong directed by ★ ★★Yrfr Family Fundamentals The first story involves Kathleen Bremner, a soft-spoken, devout Pentecostal church leader in San Diego, Calif., and her lesbian daughter, Susan Jester, a gay rights activist who came out of the closet after two failed heterosexual marriages. Susan and her homosexual son, David, feel distanced from Kathleen, not only because she advocates “ reparative therapy” for homosexuality— straighten­ ing out gays— but because Kathleen hasn’t made an effort to be a part of their lives. Just as distanced from his family is Brett Mathews, the son of a mormon bishop in Utah. Honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force because of his sexual prefer­ ences, Brett came out to his family in 1999, marking the beginning of their estrange­ ment. When Brett returns home to attend a wedding, his family, not wanting their secret in the public eye, refuses to participate in the filming of the documentary. * Not a stranger to the pub­ lic, however, is Brian Bennett, former chief of staff, cam­ paign manager, legislative aide*and “ surrogate son" to former U.S. Congressman Bob Dornan, R-Calif. Dornan, a man known for his outspo­ ken opposition against homo­ sexuals, ended their father/son relationship when Brian publicly declared his homosexuality. Family Fundamentals pres­ ents a balanced, truthful pic­ ture of how Christians view homosexuality, and how homosexuals view their own Christian faith. It looks past the hatred of both groups and focuses on the hurt that miscommunication and intol­ erance can inflict. This eye- opening film is one small step toward bridging the gap between Christians and homosexuals, a positive feat that shouldn’t be ignored. — Jennifer Barron Get your I T news in T h e Daily T exan Sbf iNcut jlork Simes Crossword 26 Its state tree is the Douglas fir: Abbr. 1 Alpha or Beta, A C R O SS 27 Less colorful 28 Lets go fat e.g. 8 Cry said upon a sudden realization 15 Critical link 16 “Way to go!” 17 Toward the center 18 Order at the bar be 19 Quick as can 20 Like coins in a pocket, maybe 21 Guessed wrong 22 Ones taking a sultan’s orders 24 Level 30 Old Russian noblemen 31 Just for kicks 33 Old TV series set near Calverton 37 Its face is hidden 42 Come to 43 Tom Collins ingredient 44 Allied invasion site in W.W.

While Emmy favorite The West Wing was a close second with 21 nominations, top bids also went to actor Michael Chiklis, star of the violent and volatile cable police drama The Shield on FX, and to another cable series, HBO's sardonic comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm. “\ hoped that academy vot­ ers w eren 't swayed by the dogma that was being thrown around. they w eren't," said Chiklis, whose program has been criticized for its gritty depiction of crime and corruption. Fortunately, Besides a best drama series mention, Six Feet Under also earned a half-dozen nominations for cast members including best actor nominees Peter Krause and Michael C. Hall and best actress nominees Rachel Griffiths and Frances Conroy. However, tne series failed to equal the record 26 nominations earned by NYPD Blue in 1994. Other shows up for best drama series are NBC's The West Wing, which won the category the past two years, CBS's CSl: Crime Scene Investigation, Fox's 24 and NBC's Law & Order, which received its 11th nomina­ tion in the category, tying Cheers and M-A-S-H Tor the most con­ secutive bids for a best series nomination, comedy or drama. "Now we're tied with two of the greatest shows of all time," said Dick Wolf, executive producer of Law & Order, from his porch in Maine. "One word — ecstatic. This is the icing on the cake." The mob heat is off the com­ petition as last year's front-run­ ning nominee The Sopranos was out of the running because new episodes didn't show during this year's eligibility period. Perennial favorites that failed to nab top nominations included NBC's ER, ABC's NYPD Blue and shows from producer David E. Kelley, including Ally McBeal and The Practice. Along with Curb Your Enthusiasm, nominees for comedy series were HBO's Sex and the City, which was last year's winner, CBS's Everybody Loves Raymond and NBC's Will & Grace and Friends. Will & Grace was the most nominated comedy with 13 bids, followed by Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends with 11. , This was the first time the cast of Friends, last year's highest- rated comedy, put themselves in contention for the lead actor cat­ egories — and it paid off. Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry will compete for comedy actor and Jennifer Aniston is up for comedy actress. Nominated with Hall, Krause and Chiklis for dramatic actor were Martin Sheen of The West Wing and Kiefer Sutherland for 24. Other dramatic actress nomi­ nees besides G riffiths and Conroy: Amy Brenneman for Judging Amy, Jennifer Gamer for A lias, and The W est W ing's Allison Janney, who won sup­ porting dram atic actress last year for the same role. In the reality programming category, MTV's top-rated show The Osbournes, about the harried home life of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, competes with PBS's American High, The Learning Channel's Trauma: Life in the ER and HBO's Project G reenlight and Taxicab Confessions. Some programs related to the Sept. 11 attacks received nomi­ nations, including variety show mentions for Concert fo r New York City and In Memoriam: New York City, 9/11/01 in the nonfic­ tion special category. Meanwhile, Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, which was can­ celed after the host ignited out­ rage with his post-Sept. 11 com­ ments criticizing the U.S. gov­ ernment, was also nominated in the variety category. HBO collected the most nomi­ nations, 93, followed by NBC with 89, CBS with 50, ABC with 35 and Fox with 33. PBS had 11. Competing with LeBlanc and Perry for best comedy actor: Kelsey G ram m er of F rasier, Bemie Mac of The Bernie Mac Show and Ray Rom ano of Everybody Loves Raymond. Last year's winner, Patricia H eaton of E verybody Loves Raymond, joins Aniston in the comedy actress category, along with Jane Kaczmarek of Malcolm in the Middle, Debra Messing of Will & Grace and Sarah Jessica Parker of Sex and the City. HBO's epic World War II story Band o f Brothers was among the overall leading nominees with 19 mentions, including best miniseries.

Do you recall those late nights grow ing up w hen the m ost intoxicating films late at night featured giant killer tom a­ toes or fake looking blobs. Those film s, although terribly m ade, provided hours and hours of pure unadulterated joy. It is with that sam e sense that d irector Ellory Ekayem and producers R oland E m m erich and D ean D evlin bring us Eight Legged Freaks, an actual B movie in the m iddle of the sum m er season. Eight Legged Freaks ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ starring David The beginning of Eight Legged Freaks begs the question: W hat would have hap­ pened if a radioac­ tive spider did not indeed bite som e­ one and bestow super powers but instead grew and maligned a small town? A sew age truck accidentally drops Ellory Ekayem directed by Arquette som e barreled chem ical into a pond while sw erving to avoid nitting a little bunny. The chem i­ cal causes the spiders to grow and grow m aking them large enough to snare hum ans as their prey. The town, united by their need to stay alive, fights off these giant spiders or aliens as the paranoid Harlan (Doug E. D oug) refers to them. Trapped in a mall with nothing more than guns, picks and crossbows, the citizens of Prosperity, Ariz., face off against their deadly threat. At no real point in the movie does Eight Legged Freaks even attempt to scare the audience. It em bellishes its ow n brand of tongue-in-cheek hu m or and rides with it the entire way. The drop-jaw reactions of the towns­ folk to the com m on B movie threads that the film uses show that the makers of Eight Legged Freaks had no intention of m ak­ ing som ething scary.

Express take series with 3-2 win By Travis Recek Dally Texan Staff ROUND ROCK — Nick Roberts has had little success against the Arkansas Travelers this year, that is until Thursday night when he threw' seven and two- thirds strong innings to help the Express to a 3-2 victory. The win was Roberts' eighth of the year and gave the Express a 3-1 series victory over the Travelers. Arkansas pitcher Rich Fischer made his Texas League debut against the Express Thursday and snut them out through the first three innings. He ran into some trouble in the middle innings, but he still had a solid outing, giving up three runs through six innings with seven strikeouts. But Roberts was a little better than Fischer this night, holding Arkansas two runs, while to inducing 13 fly ball outs. Having trouble getting on the board, the Express found a way to manufacture a run in the fourth without the help of a hit. Jason Alfaro led off the inning by getting plunked cm a pitch from Fischer. Alfaro then reached sec­ ond after a walk to Mike Hill. Later in the inning, Alfaro took off for third, and Fischer turned to pick him off, but the ball got passed th e third baseman and Alfaro easily trotted home for the game's first run. Round Rock's lead lasted until the Travelers came up in the fifth. After Jason Camilli walked and reached second base on a sacrifice bunt, Kenny James grounded a single into center field to tie the game 1-1. The Express answered back with a run of their own in the bot­ tom half of the fifth. After striking out the first two batters in the inning, Fischer gave up a double to Eric Bruntlett. The next man up, Royce Huffman, powered a dou­ ble of his own into right field, scor­ ing Bruntlett and putting Round Rock back on top 2-1. For the third straight inning the Express put up a single run in the sixth. Jon Topolski took care of all the damage on his own by landing a home run just to the right of the 405-feet sign in center field with two outs. It was Topolski's sixth home run of the season. "I've been working with the coaches on taking good hacks in good hitting situations," Topolski said. "So with a 3-2 count and two outs, I decided to cut loose on one and see what happens." Roberts was pulled in die eighth for reliever James Lira. Lira gave up two consecutive hits to Arkansas, foe second an RBI-single off foe bat of Trent Durrington. With two on and two out, he got Jason Hill to ground out to third and end the inning with Round Rock still lead­ ing 3-2. Lira then set down foe Travelers in order in the ninth, getting Brandon Warriax to fly out to foe warning track in left field for the final out.

Frustrated Tiger begins British Open 1-under By The Associated Pro** GULLANE, Scotland — The cameras clicked Tiger Woods snapped. That proved to be th* least of his worries at the B ritis h Open, ' the dreaded wind of where Muirfield didn't show up but foe competition sure did Woods' bid for the Grand-Slam resumed Thursday with an angry confrontation with tngger-happy photographers. He finished with a pedestrian round *>t ¡-under 70 that kept him out of the lead for the first time in seven rounds at a major championship. The lead belonged to PGA champion David Toms, Duffy Waldorf and Carl Pettersson of Sweden, who each had a 4-under 67 on a surprisingly still, sunny afternoon in Scotland "Anything under par is going to be a good score today," Woods said.

It’s A.I.’s skill that counts Josh Graham- Chapman Daily Texan Colum nist Somewhere in Philadelphia there is probably a police officer or investigator of some sort doing all he can to unearth the missing weapon in Allen Iverson's case — the case in which Iverson is charged with gun possession without a license, not to mention charges of assault and making threats. The gun, if found, would repre­ sent crucial evidence in convicting Iverson. And that investigator rep­ resents a number of people every­ where who want to see Iverson, a volatile figure in their eyes, fall. There are NBA critics and fans who feel the 76ers should dum p him after his latest brush with trouble. Evidently, they think his troublesome ways present more of a distraction than his talents pro­ vide a bonus. Some feared the tur­ moil his lack of discipline would bring from the very beginning. Right now those people are sitting back and grinning, thinking only one thing — "I told you so." But they shouldn't be so certain of themselves so fast. Some of these critics have Iverson jerseys hanging in the clos­ ets of their homes — most likely their children's — and if thev don't, they know som eone who dcx*s Whether they like it or not, Iverson's Philadelphia jersev has been sold more than anybt>dy else's in the NBA. Yes, even good guys Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O 'N eal and Tracy McGrady d o n 't have as many fans lined up to buy their jerseys. He's a fan-favorite. 1 le- No. 3 is being worn by wrhites and blacks, from the suburbs to the inner city, it's all the same. There is a reason for that. So w hat if people d on 't wish to adopt Iverson's way of life. Maybe the tattoos and his thuggish atti­ tude are something m any don't approve of and don't w ant their kids to be exposed to. M aybe his rap music, which has been known to be abrasive, to say the least, doesn't appeal to everyone. But it people are looking for one ot the in the best basketball players world, then they need to be Uxik ing in Iverson's direction. In 20U1, Philadelphia was the NBA Finals runner-up. Last year, the 76ers took Eastern Conference finalist Boston to a fifth and tmal game in their playoff senes The 76* rs had the third best attendance in the league last season, and play­ ing in front of sell-out crow ds has become commonplace. Who is at the forefront of all this? None other than A.I. Two seasons ago, Philadelphia rode the shoulders of the little guv to the NBA Finals. The heart and courage exhibited by the 165- pounder over the past several years has won the respect of mil­ lions. He's taken the Sixers to new' heights and doesn't show any desire to bnng them dow n from their current level of play. ~k> even consider trading him is absurd. He is arguably the best player in the NBA — though Shaq is the* most dominant — and he becomes a warrior on the flcxir w lien the ball is tipped. When Iverson signed his name on the dotted line to play basket­ ball, he was going to be paid to do just that. His personal life is his time to do what he wants. He is well known, so people may expect him to act a certain way. But even those1 in the limelight of being a role model can mess up, just take a look at our former U.S. President. This is not to say that no apology ls necessary for Iverson's actions, because if he is guilty he should be punished. But as of now, the wealth he gained by signing his name on that dotted line allowed him to pay his $10,OCX) bafl, proba­ bly from his back pocket, and return home the same day he entered jail. The world needs to shift its focus and move on from this situ­ ation that has drawn far too much attention. Who cares if Iverson is not the embodiment of a present- day Mother Teresa. He's a great basketball player, and that's why he gets the big bucks and huge endorsement deals. mm wm V mm Ctrl. Cubs 6, Rtiwttphia 4 Minnesota N.Y Yankees 6, Detroit 5 ............ Montreal 2. NY.

Marion County Prosecutor Scott Newman said Thursday there was not enough evidence from the initial 911 call, state­ ments or photographs to obtain a conviction. “There is not a jury in the world that would treat this as a criminal case,” Newman said. Jena L. Soto, of Albuquerque, N.M., told police July 9 that she and Unser hit each other during an argument while she was driv­ ing on an Interstate at about 3:30 a.m. Newman said Soto cooperated with investigators. A police spokesman said last week that Soto downplayed the fight in an interview with detectives. Unser repeatedly has declined to comment on Soto’s allegations. He is divorced from his wife of two decades. Unser, who won the Indianapolis 500 in 1992 and 1994, has been having his best season in years, ranked sixth in the Indy Racing League point standings. George to stay in L A EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Devean George chose winning and friend­ ships over finances. Deciding not to pursue more money in free agency, the 24- year-old forward signed a four- year contract Thursday with the three-time defending NBA cham­ pion Los Angeles Lakers. “One of the things I learned is being a part of a winning team and the relationship with the guys is very important to me,” George said. “I think I turned down some more money. I wanted to be happy first. “My teammates, they’ve been calling me throughout this process, wanting me to come back. I like my short summers, I don’t want to go home in April. I think this is the place where I can continue to have short sum­ mers.” George’s contract is worth slightly less than $18.5 million, according to a source close to the negotiations who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “I was happy with my rookie contract. I should have no prob­ lem living off this one," said George, a 6-foot-8-inch, 220- pounder who earned $834,250 last season and can opt out after the third year of the new contract. George has started only two games in his three NBA seasons and figures to continue coming off the bench. He averaged 7.1 points and 3.7 rebounds last season — both career bests — while playing in all 82 games.
