The University probably will not set aside money for minority scholarships, said Patricia Ohlen- dorf, vice president for Institu­ tional Relations and Legal Affairs, but it is possible that race may be used as a factor, though no deci­ sion has been made. UT administrators have been working to develop a new admis­ sions policy since the Supreme Court upheld the use of affirma­ tive action in university admis­ sions in June. The University is within weeks of sending a proposed policy that includes race as a factor in adm is­ sions to the UT System for final approval, said Sheldon Eckland- Olsen, executive vice president and provost. The inclusion of race in adm is­ sions criteria will not affect the am ount of federal or state aid a student receives.

"We had to sit on them for an hour during the speech from the Panhellenic Council, and everyone w'anted to open them, but we all couldn't. We were so nervous and excited; I don't think anyone could concentrate on the speech." The girls had visited all 14 Panhellenic sorority houses, return­ ing to visit fewer and fewer houses each night as rush week came to a close. They also participated in phil­ anthropic activities, including proj­ for the Ronald M cDonald ects the Make-A-Wish H ouse Foundation. and Linthicum said by participating in the various activities, she w as able to see the "m ore intimate part of their inner sisterhood" in the dif­ ferent sorority houses.

But some faculty members think the study does not accurately reflect the environment at the University. Mauricio Tenorio, a Latino research associate professor in the department of history, stresses this is all a matter of numbers: Quite simply, there are a lot fewer blacks. Edmund Gordon, director of the Center for African American studies agrees. “There are so few of us, there's got to be some kind of sampling error." A ccording to the survey, faculty considers women and minorities underrepresented. Gordon points to the tendency of recruiters to single out people sim ilar to them in terms of gender, ethnic­ ity and personality but said that insufficient action to diversify, not racism, is the cause. Seven out of 15 undergraduate departments have two or fewer black faculty members, Gordon said.

The new government mirrors the ethnic and religious makeup of the 25-member council with 13 Shiites, five Sunni Arabs, five Kurds (also Sunnis), one ethnic Turk and an Assyrian Christian. The new Foreign Minister will be Hoshyar Zebari, a spokesman for the Kurdish Democratic Party. The key Oil Ministry will be headed by Ibrahim Mohammed Bahr al- Uloum, the son of Governing Council member Mohammed Bahr al-Uloum. The Information Ministry, which became famous for its dis­ torted accounts of the war, has been abolished. U.S. officials have voiced frustra­ tion at how long it was taking the council to get to work, especially on taking a greater role in Iraqi security and gathering intelligence that might block more attacks on American forces and prominent Iraqis. L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. civilian administrator for Iraq, has said an election for a new government could take place as early as the end of 2004, after the adoption of a new constitution. laliban attacks, ambushes kill 8 Afghan soldiers QALAT, Afghanistan — Suspected Taliban fighters attacked an Afghan government checkpoint Monday and ambushed soldiers along the main road linking the south with the capital, killing at least eight sol­ diers and taking two prisoner, Afghan officials said. The attacks came a day after two U.S. soldiers were killed in a 90-minute gunbattle with insur­ gents in Paktika province, in the east near the border with Pakistan. Four suspected Taliban were killed in that fighting. In Kabul, meanwhile, Afghan authorities supported by interna­ tional peacekeepers arrested sev­ eral suspected terrorists Monday, a spokeswoman for the International Assistance Force said. A local religious leader, Mulvi Abdul Rahman, told The Associated Press that the provin­ cial government in Zabul was try­ ing to negotiate a cease-fire with the Taliban through tribal elders.

The document — the product of three years of investigation — was based on the testimony of 377 witnesses and is only the fifth probe of such scope in Israel's history. The panel's findings came as Israeli-Palestinian violence flared anew Monday. A n Israeli helicopter fired mis­ siles at a car carrying three Hamas militants in Gaza City, killing one and wounding another. Twenty-five bystanders also were hurt in the sixth Israeli missile strike in two weeks. In the West Bank city of Nablus, soldiers shot and critically wounded a 15-year- old boy after a firebomb set their tank on fire. Israel has been waging war on Hamas in retaliation for the sui­ cide bombing that killed 21 peo­ ple on a Jerusalem bus Aug. 19. W ith M onday's 14 Palestinians, including at least 10 Ham as members, have been killed in missile strikes. attack, The panel of two judges and an academic urged the government to come up w ith a detailed plan for narrowing the gaps between Jew s and Arab citizens, who make up about one-fifth of the population of 6.6 m illion people. Israeli Arabs say they have long been discriminated against in economic opportunities, land distribution and civil rights. Prim e M inister A riel Sharon's office said the panel's recommen­ dations would be discussed by the Cabinet. Successive Israeli governments have promised to do more for Arab communities, but little has been achieved. Arab leaders said the report did not go far enough, and that they had hoped senior police offi­ cers would face prosecution. The commission recommend­ ed that several police command­ ers not be promoted and that two lower-level officers be removed. recommendations W h ile the Palestinians examine the rem ains of a car destroyed in an earlier Israeli helicopter m is­ sile strike, which left one dead and 26 wounded in Gaza City Monday. The strike was the sixth in two weeks by Israeli forces against Hamas leaders. Hatem M o u ssa Associated Press aren't binding, thev carry great weight, and the attorney general could '-till seek criminal charges against some of the officers The commission was appoint­ ed after police shot and killed 13 Arab citizens in weeklong riots in October 2000. A Jew ish motorist was killed by a rock in the protests. Thousands of Israeli Arabs had taken to the streets to show sup­ port for Palestinians in the West Bank and Caza Strip, who a month earlier had embarked on an uprising against Israeli occu­ pation. Then-Prim e M inister Ehud Barak decided to launch a formal inquiry, in part to deflect growing Arab anger against his govern­ ment. Barak had been elected in May 1999 on a peace platform with strong Arab support. The report put the blame for the riots squarely on the shoul­ ders of the Israeli establishment, saving a major cause was system­ atic government neglect of the Arab minority.

On a rain-soaked Labor Day trip to a factory training center. Bush said he had directed Commerce Secretary Don Evans to establish an assistant position to focus “on the needs of manufacturers." Keeping factory jobs is critical to a broader economic recovery, the president said. Bush said the nation has lost “thousands of jobs in manufactur­ ing."

The president attributed the ero­ sion to productivity gains and to jobs flowing to cheaper labor mar­ kets overseas. He suggested that jobs moving to foreign shores was his primary reason for creating the new manufacturing czar. Bush did not name the new man­ ufacturing official, and gave no timetable for offering a nomination to the Senate. Nor did he specify what duties the new post would include. Midland County sues more than a dozen oil companies MIDLAND — Midland County has filed a lawsuit against more than a dozen oil companies alleging fraud and conspiracy in underreporting the market value of oil, reducing its taxable value and causing the county to lose tax revenue. The county Is seeking an undis­ closed amount of damages in the lawsuit filed Friday. The lawsuit names, among others. Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron U.S.A. ,lnc., and Texaco Inc. The lawsuit alleges that between 1987 and 1998, the defendants, subsidiaries and affiliates knowing ly underreported to the comptroller the market value of oil.

EDITORIAL BOARD Editor Kevin Kushner Associate Editor Bob Jones Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the UT administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas VIEWPOINT Michigan^ new policy necessaiy The University of Michigan announced its new admis­ sions policy last week. The new policy aims to admit a crit­ ical mass of certain minorities, similar to the admissions policy of the Michigan Law School. The new policy replaces a numerical system that automatically rewarded certain minorities extra points and was declared unconsti­ tutional by the Supreme Court in June. As expected, M ichigan's new admissions policy is ambiguous on exactly how great a factor race will play in admissions decisions, leaving affirmative action oppo­ nents to wonder how long the school can elude using quo­ tas. M ichigan's policy places race and ethnicity amongst other non-academic factors such as extracurricular activi­ ties, leadership, awards and alum ni connections. However, Michigan does not explicitly state how much each of these specific non-academic factors are weighted, unlike the former policy that rewarded a certain amount of points for applicants belonging to a certain race. M ichigan's new holistic policy resembles that of our own University. The University revamped its admissions policy in 1996, after the Hopwood decision outlawed the use of race as a factor in admissions decisions. The University moved from a policy that reviewed, almost exclusively, an applicant's grades and test scores to a holis­ tic review of the entire application. The admissions policies of the University and those of Michigan are expected to become increasingly similar when the University announces how it will use race as a factor in admissions. The University revealed that it plans include race as a factor in admission for applicants wanting to gain admission in the falj of 2004. Meanwhile, last week when Michigan trumpeted its new admissions policy and Texas proudly announced plans to deliver on a race-conscious policy before the beginning of fall 2004, the College Board reminded the country why such policies are needed to get certain minorities into select institutions. The College Board's report on the newest SAT data reveals the gap between white students and black students SAT scores continues to expand. The latest statistics reveal the average SAT score for a white students was 206 points above the average score for a black student — a 19 point increase from a decade ago. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O 'C onnor's wrote in her opinion upholding the use of race-conscious admis­ sion policies that the Supreme Court expected affirmative action policies to become unnecessary in 25 years. While it's understandable that Michigan and the University want to publicize their commitment to certain minority groups, both universities should explain why race conscious measures are necessary and publicize what they're doing to help eradicate the problem. Rather than celebrating affirmative action for ensuring merely adequate enrollment of certain minority groups, universities, government officials and the public should fervently work to close the gap, so that one day, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary. GALLERY 'NASA culture’ pervades U.S. By Brian R. Boyko Daily Texan Guest Columnist truth Every the Colum bia A ccident Investigation Board (CAIB) turns up about “NASA C u lture" should alert us to exam ine society. The board 's condem nation of cost-cutting and deadlines before safety not only chastises N ASA but also reminds us to straighten the pri­ orities of American culture. rem arkable To many, NASA is a relic of the Cold War. Since the Apollo missions, it is ignored unless som ething is achieved or som ething tragic occurs. Part of this may be the opinion that there are more pressing concerns in the world right now. Part of it might be that sense of urgency about accom plishment in space is gone. the pu blic's W hatever the reason, NASA's budget has been slashed since the glory days of the Cold War. According to NASA's Web site, at the end of the Apollo program in 1972, the total NASA budget was $57 billion. The 2001 budget was $14 billion. To stay relevant, NASA has had to do more with less. As the CAIB report shows, NASA was playing a dangerous game: They did not have enough funding to reach the goals they promised to those who were providing the funding safely and were not in a position to ask for more. Plus, a lack of production would have resulted as an excuse to give the program even less money. NASA's costs were limited — determ ined by the budget C ongress passes each year. Schedules w ere both d eter­ mined by a demand for results technical w indow s of and opportunity. In retrospect, is it any w onder that “safety lost out?" The pressure to or remain — - appear to remain productive while keeping costs low has lead to many oversights and deceptions in recent years. issues existed, but that issues such as the foam projectile prob­ lems were detected, and then w aved aw ay using w hat the CAIB called "sleight of hand" to downplay the frequency of fuel- foam strikes. They deceived the government, deceived the pub­ lic and deceived the seven who died shuttle Columbia. aboard the This problem is referred to in the CA IB report as "N A SA culture": when upper manage­ ment pressures NASA staff to stay on schedule despite diffi­ culties. But this culture does not reside solely in the domain of NASA. This is a problem that is quickly becom ing “ A m erican Culture." The pressure to remain — or appear to remain — productive while keeping costs low has lead to many oversights and decep­ tions in recent years. The Enron scandal, for example, was a case of over-inflating the value of a com pany's worth, hoping no one would find out. It too had promised the moon, appeared to deliver it, but contained serious flaws beneath its exterior. about the fraudulent nature of the "Nigerian Uranium " that made it into his State of the is Union address, evidence beginning to come to light that that Am erican and suggests British intelligence agencies were being pressured from on high to “spice up" the reports to justify military intervention. If true, this is the same phenome­ non: increased production at the cost of decreased accuracy. The scenario of having to do more with less reoccurs whenever a com pany "dow nsizes" or "right-sizes" in order to decrease costs while trying to maintain or increase production. Whether it's aging spacecraft or inter­ office politics, the more strain you put on a system, the more the system weakens. Enough strain and just the right jolt can send everything into chaos. Unlike the Enron CEOs and the Bush Administration, who don't seem to be suffering much for their deception, those who exacerbated the safety problems of the space program have ended up with the guilt of know ing they are responsible for the deaths of seven of hum anity's explorers. However, the apparent reason that NASA didn't seem to care about the safety of its astronauts w as that, generally, as a people, we don't care about space explo­ ration. We're content with hav­ ing “beaten the Russians" with­ out recognizing that Apollo was merely a beginning, not an end. Both NASA's need for a culture that downplayed safety problems and NASA's ability to get away with it for so long are direct results of com plete apathy towards the very idea of space exploration. And I think that our apathy of the m em ory insults Colum bia's crew. W hat damns N ASA 's man­ agement is not that the safety W hether or not you believe President George W. Bush knew Boyko is a journalism graduate student. GALLERY cXtN. MM Be fMcTKSMS MAWWA WASN'T SM cH A 6 T eA T i P « A .

GOP needs to take moral high ground THE FIRING LINE Prop. 12 necessary in Texas Eric Fajardo’s column "Debunking the Benefits of Tort Reform” (Aug. 29) was a poor attempt to rally support for ambu­ lance chasers and medical mal­ practice lawyers statewide. Why is putting limits on non-economic damages so vile that we should not even allow our Legislature to try it? Economic damages include all damages that can be denomi­ nated in dollars. If the damage is a polluted water supply, then the economic damage is the cost of cleaning it up. Non-economic damages occur where the amount of money required to make a person whole again is dif­ ficult to discern. Voir dire select­ ed juries are terrible at this. See McDonald’s Coffee vs. elderly lady. Indeed, voir dire selected juries may have big problems even in criminal cases. See O.J. trial. Judges, on the other hand are elected for the ability to make these decisions. Prop 12 will lower medical mal­ practice insurance rates. The AMA (www.ama-assn.org) said half of the jury awards today top $1 million, and the median mal­ practice award rose by 43 per­ cent in 1999 alone. That doctors are leaving Texas for better pas­ tures should be reason enough to vote yes on Prop. 12. The best thing that could come out of the other actions clause is that black mold torts might once again become reasonable and home­ owner’s insurance rates would drop. As for environmental pro­ tection, the EPA is responsible for the bulk of those cases, and that isn’t affected by Prop. 12. There is no way to get rich quick without making some group of people poorer. This holds true for lawsuits, lotteries and businesses. T.

By Stephen Beale Guest Columnist Throughout the past two years President Bush and his advisers have seasoned their sermons on foreign policy w ith calls for “moral clarity." Yet Bush's fulmi- nations have been anything but clear. In September 2002, Bush declared that because Iraq and al Qaida were “equally bad, equally as evil, and equally as destruc­ tive" that "you can't distinguish between al Qaida and Saddam when you talk about the war on terror." This fall, the Republican Party has a chance to renew its com m it­ ment to moral clarity and to take the offensive in the culture war. This window of opportunity applies to two issues: homosexu­ ality and abortion. Conservatives have adopted two diametrically for each. different strategies Regarding rights, gay Republicans favor a radically confrontational approach: a pre­ emptive constitutional am end­ ment that would prevent courts from nationalizing gay marriage. The second strategy calls for an ambitious increm entalism that would eventually nullify Roe v. Wade. Two bills implement the latter approach. The first is the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. Passed by the Senate in March and the House in June, the act must make one final stop at a House-Senate conference com ­ mittee before it reaches the desk of President Bush. The measure would outlaw the heinous prac­ tice of partial-birth abortion, in which a baby is partially deliv­ ered until only the head remains in the womb. Then “doctors" insert scissors into the brain and rem ove the contents. M ost of these abortions are performed in the fifth and sixth m onths of pregnancy — the point at which a premature baby is viable outside of ihe womb. In Kansas, the only state separate recording of partial-birth abor­ tions, abortion doctors reported in 1999 that they performed 182 partial-birth abortions on babies that were "viable." requires that The only thing that separates partial-birth abortion from out­ right old-fashioned infanticide is a couple inches of skin. Surely one does not need a degree in moral philosophy to recognize the absurdity of this procedure. The operation recalls the half­ blind justice described in the parable of Solomon and the two harlots in First Kings, Chapter 3. The two women both give birth to babies, but one of them dies. In her moment of despair, the dis­ traught m other switches their babies. The mother of the surviv­ ing child recognizes what has happened and appeals her case to King Solomon. Solomon, in his wisdom, calls for a sword and suggests they split the baby between themselves. The mother of the living son objects, urging Solomon to give the baby to the other w om an; only then did Solomon discover which of the two was telling the truth. A simi­ lar mentality governs those who wish to do all in their power to ensure a w om an's right to choose yet cannot bring themselves to cross the imaginary line dividing infanticide. Few abortion and pro-choice partisans would directly defend partial-abortion; instead most fear that bans on the erode practice will w om en's abortion rights in gen­ eral — a classic slippery slope argument. Yet such a position is equally problematic. It is morally indefensible to sacrifice the lives of innocents for the liberties of others. Extremism in defense of liberty is indeed a vice. further At the heart of the new pro-life push is the Unborn Victims of Violence Act which has received exceptional attention due to the Laci Peterson case. For its June 9 issue, Newsweek dedicated a fea­ ture story to the "w ar over fetal rights." The story begins with the case of Tracy Marciniak, who questioned her support for abor­ tion rights after her estranged husband punched her in the stomach, 'killing her baby. The article, however, emphasizes that many pro-choice groups face a dilemma: They ardently wish to punish husbands and boyfriends whose violence prematurely ter­ minates pregnancies wanted by mothers, yet w orry that fetal infringe upon a rights m ay w om an's right to end her preg­ nancy. So apparently it is accept­ able for a mother to abort her baby, but it is not permissible for the father to do the same. Again, m odern the w om an's choice and her feelings central to the debate. liberals m ake The conservative positions on all three issues — partial-birth abortion, the status of unborn vic­ tims of violence, and gay mar­ riage — enjoy the support of sig­ nificant majorities of Americans. The aforementioned Newsweek article noted that 56 percent of the public "say prosecutors should bring separate m urder charges against som eone who kills a fetus still in the womb, whether it is viable or not." Other polls are even more encouraging. O n June 4, The Atlanta Joumal-Constitution that another survey reported revealed that as many as 84 per­ cent of Americans view Conner Peterson as “a separate and dis­ tinct victim " of the homicide. Likewise, 70 percent approve of a partial-birth abortion ban. Even on the issue of gay marriage, A m éricans are leaning to the right. The national Wirthlin poll released in March revealed that 62 percent defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Clearly, now is the time for the moral majority to act and reclaim its leadership of American public discourse.

Williams' four catches netted 104 yards. Longhorns score often after first quarter drought By Clint Hale Daily Texan Staff Variety is the spice of life, som ething Texas proved in Sunday's 66-7 shellacking of New Mexico State. The Longhorns' offense scored 38 points, Derrick Johnson and Michael Huff returned intercep­ tions for touchdowns and Selvin Young scored on a punt and kick return as Texas reigned supreme in front of 83,096 fans, the largest crowd ever to witness a season opener at Darrell K Roval-Texas Memorial Stadium. second After falling behind 7-0 early in the quarter, Young returned the ensuing kickoff 97 yards to the end zone, putting the Longhorns (1-0) on the board and starting the rout. What followed was a second quarter that saw Johnson take a pick 47 yards to pay dirt and Heisman Trophy hopeful Roy Williams haul in a 15-yard touchdown strike from quarter­ back Chance Mock. By the time the dust settled at halftime, Texas con­ trolled the game with a 31-7 lead "W e saw that their secondary guys were all 5-feet-9-inches tall, and we started sm iling," said Williams, who caught four balls for 104 yards and tw o touch­ downs in the victory. The second half w as pretty from Mock much a replica of the second quarter, kicked off by a four-plav, 66-yard drive that ended in a 53- yard bom b to Williams. Mock struggled early but settled later in the game in his first start at Texas, completing just seven of 15 passes for 156 y a r d s and tw o touchdowns. Brown was impressed with his quarterback's play, but said that the offense needed to get off to a better start in its next test against rival Arkansas. "W e need to put more points on the board early," Brown said of an offense that didn't score until nearly halfway through the contest. "But once eyeryone got comfortable, I think things started to work out for us O f all the story lines that took place in S u n d a y ' s win, the play of Selvin Young was one of the hot­ ter topics. The sophomore, how ­ ever, deflected most of the atten­ tion toward his teammates. "I could never make those kind of plays if mv blockers didn't cre­ ate holes for m e," said Young, who accounted for 155 total yards and two scores on the night. N ot m uch went w rong for Texas in the lopsided victory, but a couple of Longhorns did sus­ tain injury.

M ik e Kane D aily Texan S ta ff By Carrie Crossman Daily Texan Staff The wom en's volleyball team got their season off to a rough start this weekend, losing their two matches at the 2003 Mizuno Invitational at The Pyramid in California, hosted by Long Beach State. The No. 23 ranked Longhorns opened the season against St. M ary's College (Calif.) Friday night losing 3-0. Texas came out hitting well in the first gam e with a .300 hitting percentage and recording 14 kills and only five errors. The team was overpow­ ered however by St. M ary's .378 hitting. Junior All-American and out­ side hitter Mira Topic led the Longhorns with 14 kills, while senior Kathrvn Wilson led the Andrew, the team's lone setter, had 12 digs as did sophomore libero Erin Larson, helping Texas out-dig St. M ary's 58-46. On Saturday, No. 16 ranked Long Beach State beat the Longhorns 3-1 in the final match of the weekend. The last time Texas played Long Beach State was in the third round of the 1948 NCAA Tournam ent at Long Beach State; Texas lost 3-0. The host team now increases their series lead to 3-0 over Texas Howden, an outside hitter, had a team high 22 kills, followed bv Topic who had 20 kills and 16 digs. Larson, a defensive special­ ist, recorded 16 digs, three more than her entire total from last sea­ son. Those attending Tuesday's home volleyball opener versus Texas State University will be sure to see one thing on the court — new faces. It is a new season with new' expectations, the buzz and around the program stems from many things. Even the players can feel it. "I'm excited and ready to see all the burnt orange in the stands and hear all the noise," freshman middle blocker Leticia Armstrong said, who along with three other freshman will be playing their first games in Gregory Gym. The real excitement, though, lies in the expectations for this rising program.

By Connor Higgins Daily Texan Staff COLLEGE STATION — After the game, everyone from head coach Dennis Franchione to quar­ terback Reggie McNeal to kick returner Terrence Murphy quickly emphasized that a win is a win, ugly or not. Texas A&M won, and ugly it was. Still, the beginning of the Franchione project was a success Saturday night as the Aggies walked aw ay from Kyle Field with victory over Arkansas State in College Station. 26-11 a "I heard about the 12th man, and I can see it's the real deal," said Franchione, remarking after his first game as Texas A&M head coach about the noise and excite­ ment from the crowd. "I made sure I took a few moments during pre-gam e to enjoy the atm os­ phere." But enjoyment quickly morphed into in-game frustration as both teams strug­ gled to move the ball with any consistency. Further disrupting the offensive flow for Texas A&M was the back-and-forth shaky play of quarterbacks Reggie McNeal and Dustin Long. pre-gam e N either man played poorly, nor did anyone do anything to cement the starting job. Officially it was McNeal under center for the Aggies first play, answering the hottest quarterback question in the state since the conclusion of Texas A& M 's 2002 season. The sophomore played the entirety of the first and third quarters and returned late in the fourth with Texas A&M on top 19-11 with just under six minutes left to play. Long wras the signal caller in the second quarter and started the fourth under center before favor of being M cNeal's athleticism. The junior finished the game 5-of-7 writh 44 yards and one interception. rem oved in "I felt like wre m ight need Reggie's scrambling ability at the end of the game, and he did See AGGIES, page 13 Texas A&M quarterback Reggie McNeal scram bles for a gain as Arkansas State's Jon Bradiey pur­ sues during Saturday's gam e in College Station David J. Phillip Associated Press Natalie England Sports Editor It would have been fun to be a mind reader during Sunday's football game. I'm not, so I could only imagine w hat was going through the heads of certain Longhorn play­ ers during the first quarter. Roy Williams: Hm m m ... it's raining. W hy am I still getting wet in Austin? Chance Mock: So that's w hat the grass of D KR sm ells like. Cedric Benson: Wonder if the Dodgers still need me? The first quarter was pretty bleak — all you had to do was look at the scoreboard to figure that out. New Mexico State pitched a first quarter shutout Sunday for the first time since the 1999 season, and then it w as against Division II New Mexico Highlands. But sophom ore the Longhorns w ere just let the gam e patient and unfold. And the game changed — changed in a big way, thanks to speedster Selvin Young. Ju st seconds after the Aggies marched 51 yards down the field to post the first six points on the board, Young wrapped his forearms around the pigskin and outscooted the defense 97 yards to knot the score. And with that, I'm sure minds changed. Williams: Hey, those comerbacks are pretty short. Heh Heh Heh. Mock: Those com erbacks are pretty short. Roy, here it comes. Benson: I never liked baseball anyway. Head coach Mack Brown called Young's kick off return the play of the game. "The momentum of the game changed completely after Selvin's runback," Brown said. The Longhorns would score on their next four possessions after the 97-yard scoring sprint, looking like the offense preseason speculation promised. Mock started throwing, and Williams started catching. By halftime, Mock walked in for some Gatorade with 97 yards passing and one touchdown. Williams was the recipient of that touchdown pass and had 97 receiving yards at the end of the second quarter. It's hard to find a blemish on a stat sheet that had 384 yards of total offense and 66 points^ But, in addition to the Longhorns' offen­ sive sputtering for the opening 15 minutes, there was a blem ish — the running game. Benson only managed 40 yards on the ground, and Young had just 18. Some blam e should be shoul­ dered by the offensive line — and that's to be expected. The line is just now figuring out how to play together, how to com m unicate and how to work as one wall of protection keeping the pressure from invading Mock's pocket. The defense, though, is clicking. You can't argue with three defen­ sive picks, two w hich were returned for six fast points. You can 't argue with two special teams touchdowns. You can 't argue with Vince Young. He was Texas' leading rusher with 61 yards and two touchdowns, and accounted for the Longhorns' longest play of the night — his pic­ ture perfect 60-yard dart to Sloan Thomas in the fourth quarter. Did the Texas coaches want their backup quarterback to be their leading rusher? Probably not. Is it a bad thing? Probably not. Last season, the A tlanta Falcons' second leading rusher was their quarterback — a certain Michael Vick, who logged 777 yards on the ground and yet also managed to throw for 2,936 yards. Vince Young's tight spiral to Thomas and his 61 yards of shak- ing-and-baking show that he too will o n e,d a y be a true double threat under “center. That is, of course, if he isn't already. Mock is still the starter. He still deserves to be the starter. That isn't the question. But Brown will sleep soundly knowing that he's got Vic ... er, Vince Young on the sidelines. And his heart will pound slower knowing that his running gam e will get better. After all, it can only get better. When the line starts blocking to form, and Benson starts busting it up the gut, these Longhorns will be good. Very good. So just be patient. There's still plenty of football to play. M iddle blocker Bethany Howden reacts during a g am e against Texas A & M last season. The Longhorns lost two m atches over the w eekend. UT S p o r t s p h o t o g r a p h y Page 10 S p o r t s Tuesday, September 2, 2003 Nebraska beats No.A 24 Oklahoma State in Big 12 opener By Javier Perez Jr. Daily Texan Staff On Saturday, N ebraska brought O klahom a State back dow n to Earth. The preseason hype w as all over O klahom a State, who has the best returning quarterback in the Big 12, p ossi­ bly the best receiver in the nation and a returning running back that eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark last year. 183 live turnovers later, Oklahoma State could not overcome the sold-out crowd at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln as the Cowboys fell 17-7 in their season and conference opener. The gam e sent an early season m essage — N ebraska can't be taken lightly, vet. On top of the largest gathering of former play- vards total and ers and coaches in the school's history, N ebraska players also wore throwback jerseys. T urnovers led to N eb raska taking the lead for good in the second half. It started with a Tatum Bell in Oklahom a State's own territory'. Barrett Ruud recovered the fum ­ ble and returned it 16 yards for a touchdown and a 10-7 lead. fum ble d eep Nebraska reached the red zone again midway through the third quarter, but running back Josh D avis fumbled, and Oklahoma State's Robert Jones recovered. But Josh Fields fumbled just a few plays later. Nebraska recovered and finished what they started when Judd Davies ran for a 3-yard touchdown. Neither team could sustain a scoring drive in the fourth quarter, which w as just fine with Nebraska. Josh Fields threw an interception late in the gam e to seal the Com husker victory. Fields only threw for 97 yards and one touchdown but had three inter­ ceptions on the day. Nebraska's Jammal Lord only threw' for 78 yards and had one interception, but he rushed for 90 of the team's 268 yards. But the game started with botj) offenses picking apart the other's defense. Nebraska drove to the red zone on their opening drive, but the Oklahoma State defense forced the Com huskers to settle with a field goal. Then Oklahoma State started near midfield and finished their drive w'ith a 4-yard touchdown pass from Josh Fields to Rashaun Woods. Jammal Lord runs the ■ option Saturday against Oklahoma State. Lord ran for 90 of Nebraska’s 268 rushing yards. Nebraska beat the Cowboys, 17-7.

L A S S I l Il k S Texas soccer falls to Duke in North Carolina By Elizabeth McGarr Daily Texan Staff The No. 9 Texas women's soc­ cer team managed too little too late against Duke Sunday in Durham, N.C. Despite narrow­ ing the Blue Devil lead to one writh 11 minutes to go in the game, the Longhorns dropped their first match of the season, 3- 2. Texas leaves North Carolina with a 1-1 record after defeating East Carolina 5-3 Friday. "W e struggled early on in the first half," coach Chris Petrucelli said. "A lth oug h we made a valiant effort to come back late, it just wasn't enough [against Duke]." Thanks to an unassisted goal by freshman N ik k i Thaden, Texas held a 1-0 advantage over Duke until just before halftime. Blue Devil Darby Kroyer scored off of an assist from Carolyn Riggs to tie the game going into the locker room. Riggs scored less than a minute into the sec­ ond half to give Duke a lead it would never relinquish. A third Blue Devil goal 10 minutes later would keep Texas at a distance despite K elly M cDonald's.effort with eleven minutes to go. H er goal off a Thaden assist would cut the lead in half, 3-2, but Duke came aw ay with the win. junior The Longhorns had more success against East Carolina in a game that saw junior Kellv record a hat trick. W ilson W ilson's Frid ay night feat marked the eighth time a player has scored three goals in a game since women's soccer came to Texas in 1994. Classmate Kelly McDonald scored off an assist from freshman Nikki Thaden, freshman Priscilla Fite and recorded an unassisted goal to give the Longhorns a 2-0 half- time lead. “We struggled early on in the first half. Although we made a valiant effort to come back late, it just w asn’t enough.” Chris Petrucelli, soccer coach. Wilson took care of the rest of Texas' offense and opened the second half with her first goal, a cross from junior Nicole Breger. left gave An assist from McDonald and in unassisted goal with ju-t undvr 10 minutes the Longhorns a comfortable 5-2 lead. An unassisted goal fr m East Carolina's Melissa Penne\ one minute later made the final 5-3. The Longhorns continut non­ conference play at this week­ end's 2003 Clemson Im Rational in Clemson, S.C., against N< 20 Clemson and Furman. Young scores 2 touchdowns Texas ready to get back on con it Back up quar­ terback Vince Young carries the ball in the Longhorns’ gam e against New Mexico. Young rushed for 6 1 yards and two touchdowns. Adithya Sambamurthy/ Daily Texan Staff YOUNG, FROM 9 On his fourth rush of the game from the N ew Mexico State 16-yard line, Young ran into two Aggie defenders but bounced off and changed directions to run into the end zone for the first touchdowm of his career to finish off a drive in which he ran four times for 55 yards. Young showed off his arm on the next possession, tossing his first pass as a Longhorn a 60 yards to Sloan Thomas, then finished the drive writh a 6- yard run. "I don't know w hy they were going one-on-one against our receivers," Young said. "B u t I just told them to take it up the field. I had a good fake and a “We wanted [Vincent Young] to come in the first half. But New Mexico State had about 19 minutes of possession. So we did not get the opportunity. Mack Brown, Texas head coach good offensive line, and I just released it." Before grumbling begins of in another Q B controversy Austin, head coach M ack Browrn praised the play of both quarterbacks, but also noted that Young came into the game in a better situation. Browm said that he d id n 't know7 if Young w ill get more playing time against Arkansas, but he wanted Young to get more action in Sunday's game. "W e wanted him to come in the first half," Browm said. "But New7 Mexico State had about 19 minutes of possession, so we did not get the opportunity" After Young scored and returned to the Longhorn bench, Mock was the first player to greet him w'ith a bearhug. The freshman has a lot of fans after his first game in a Texas uni­ form, including the one that is ahead of him on the depth chart. "D id v'a ll see the w a y the incredible," It's guy Mock said. "H e 's a phenome­ nal athlete, and I love watching him. H e did a heck of a job." runs? VOLLEYBALL, FROM 9 In the first game, Texas had a 13-9 lead with Topic netting five kills. Long Beach State came back to tie the game 15-15 after a 6-2 run led by Melanie Fleig, who served four straight points, before finally winning the match 30-26. . Texas* battled back in the sec­ ond game coming from behind 19-17 to win after a 7-2 run. Howden lead the way with seven kills, and Topic contributed five. Curtis recorded the game-win­ ning kill in the 30-26 victory The Longhorns again took early leads in the third and fourth games, but Long Beach State came back both times win­ ning 30-27 and 30-22. Howden and Topic once again kept the Longhorns in the fight with a combined 31 kills in the third set. Both teams kept the game close, largely due to offensive struggles and a below .160 hit­ ting percentages for both teams. Texas however, was not able to match Long Beach State's late- game runs in either of the final matches. "Looking at the tournament from a glass half-full perspective, we did a lot of great things," head coach Jerritt Elliott said. "W e executed our game plan and had excellent opportunities [against Long Beach State], but we just weren't as consistent a s we needed to be. The chances were there but we didn't take advantages of them. "The freshmen came in and did a great job and weren't intimidated in thi- big-ga: e sit­ uation. There were a lot of posi­ tives this weekend, and we'll build on those positives ,¡ - the season continues." Texas will be back in action tonight for their home dpener against Texas State at 7 p.m. at Gregory Gym. "W e are looking forward to opening our home schedule on Tuesday" Elliott said. "This team is excited to return home to the friendlv confines of Gregory Gym ." Freshmen to have immediate impact FRESHMEN, FROM 9 Since Jerritt Elliot took over as head coach in 2001, he has seen his program steadily improve. He guided the team in his first year to a sixth place finish in the Big 12, a one spot improvement from the year before. In 20Ó2 team again the improved, this time finishing fourth writh a young squad where sophomores received all-conference honors. three This year, the Longhorns were picked in the preseason polls to finish second, showing contin­ ued improvement and increased respect among the league. the past But despite the improvement, one fact has remained constant five vears: over Nebraska has claimed the Big 12 crown each vear and is picked to win it again this year. The Longhorns have not defeated the Comhuskers since 1999. So the in order Longhorns to be the best, thev must be able to compete with the for best — teams like Nebraska. "We're playing a lot of big name teams, wrhich I think it will give us a lot of experience to take on Nebraska, and make a run at the Big 12 title," said one of the team's tw7o seniors and team captain Whitnev Garvens. "W e are definitely out to get Nebraska and prove that we are back into this." And Tuesday, the new7 floor in Gregory G ym won't be the only revamped part of the Texas vol­ leyball program.

Before I even opened the Teiluride Bluegrass Festival’s album, "Reflections,” I stared at it on my coffee table with disdain. But on the inside of the cover, a list of names unfolded that were more familiar to me than expected — James Taylor, Shawn Colvin, Nickel Creek and Nanci Griffith all contributed to this album? Sounds like it’s worth a shot. However, I still resisted, even when the quiet harmonies of James Taylor’s "Wild Mountain Thyme” came slow and soft through my computer speakers, a strange incongruity between the old-fashioned style of the tune and the new media on which I happened to play it. Vague negative memories of my father playing bluegrass tapes on long car trips made the Teiluride Bluegrass Festival work extra hard to regain some respect for bluegrass in my eyes. Maybe I’ve grown up a bit, but I’m willing to bet that it’s simply that bluegrass isn’t what I thought it was — it’s a fluid, broad genre that artists can float easily in and out of without being stereotyped beyond further recognition. Shawn Colvin proves this beau­ tifully with her cover of Richard Thompson’s “Wail of Death.” Though she’s best known for her radio hit “Sunny Came Home,” Colvin has been putting out albums and performing in small festivals like this for years, and the acoustic tradition of blue­ grass and the mountain air really suit her because this is a stand­ out track. If you’re afraid of the constant plucking of the banjo or slow, strained harmonies a lot like those in the Grammy-winning “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” sound­ track, you won’t enjoy this album. Bluegrass is not a genre that bends to popular whims, though it welcomes artists who want to try their hand. The instrumentals on this album, like "John Hardy” by Bela Reck & Tony Trischka, are wildly energetic and unashamed in their devotion to exploring the banjo’s range. “Reflections" is a collection of songs that makes a great intro­ duction to bluegrass for some­ one who isn’t familiar with the style. If your friends see it in your CD case, you can always claim that it was BMG’s selection of the month and you were too lazy to mail it back. — A lly B a x te r Page 16 T he D aily T exan Tuesday,.September 2, 2003 ENTERTAINMENT WRITERS NEEDED Interested in music, film, books, theater and other fine arts?

Artists like Faith Hill and Shania Twain flirt with a pop sound and usually leave stan­ dard country instruments out of their music. Patty Loveless is not one of those artists. On her latest release, "On Your Way Home," she keeps with her country roots. And she does indeed have long roots in country music. Loveless is not only a fellow coal miner's daugh­ ter, but also a cousin of Loretta Lynn. "With this record, when I listen to it, over and over I've come to realize, 'Wow I'm going back to revisit the kinds of songs I loved when I w as growing up,'" Loveless said. "These days I feel a little more flexibility to go in a more traditional direction." Her last major album, "Moun­ tain Soul," was a bluegrass record that benefited from momentum generated by "O Brother Where Art Thou?" It was finally cool to play bluegrass, and that was the music that Loveless had already been creating. See SOUNDBITES, page 15 Photo courtesy of Dreamworks Records Saves the Day have undergone a series of musical evolutions in their short career. “In Reverie" finds the band poised and ready to storm the mainstream with their delightful pop melodies. S-w e s m i D a'i \ l HI M: " I n R e v erie I. Mil l : V agrant R e co rd s Saves The Day is an under-the- rad ar that alternative band deserves to go mainstream. They have the right sound and a cute success story, but the band said they are happy to be with the tiny, independent Vagrant Records with distribution now handled by the indie-friendly Dream works Records. Does this mean this is where they will stay? It would not be surprising to find them getting radio play a couple of years from now and headlining international tours all under a big name label. Not that Vagrant is necessarily small potatoes. Saves The Day began as a high school garage band by the name of Settler, playing outside a local restaurant for free wings and rap- idlv gaining local respect. Then came a lucky break and Saves The Day signed on with a sm all label (Equal Vision) before the close of their high school careers. They lost a little of the hardcore attitude and moved closer to the pop-m id­ dle, signed with Vagrant and here is "In Reverie," the second release with the groups' new label. Fans angered with the band's "gone pop" new CD should get over it and just enjoy what Saves The Day have m orphed into. They are not the sam e band, but they are no worse for it. The album is a fun one that possesses a perfect balance between imma­ ture Blink-182 nonsense and nerdy Weezer self-awareness — influences no doubt acquired after touring with both bands. Not too whiny, just emotional enough, with lyrics that are perfectly- voiced and well-written, guitarist and vocalist Christopher Conley seem s to know just what he's doing to capture an audience with m ass appeal without coming oft as your run-of-the-mill rock band. Perhaps that can be attributed to Conley's approach to writing the album 's lyrics. He claim s that while some songs m ay seem like love songs, most of them are not centered around another person at all. They are just expressions of feelings typical of a general twenty-something — like rest­ lessn ess and alienation. One exception is the alb u m 's first son g, "A nyw here With You," which w as written about a friend's newborn baby. Vagrant is a good place for the boys, and this album is a gem on which the record label is probably glad to have their name. And according to guitarist David Soloway, the band members can't believe they have even come this far before hitting 25. It would be surprising if they were done m ov­ ing up, though. Keep your eyes on these boys because they have what it takes. — Angela Me Ken dree Patty Loveless stays close to her roots on her latest, “On Your Way Home.” Photo courtesy of Sony Music NOT NORMAL Macromedia* Studio MX 2 0 0 4 $199 SPREAD THE WORD Introducing something that is definitely not ordinary-just in time for back to school.
