Israeli tanks entered Bethlehem early Monday, stopping 500 yards from the Church of the Nativity, which marks the traditional birthplace of Jesus, witnesses said. ► See ISRAEL, Page 3 Powerful quake jolts Taiwan TAIPEI, Taiwan — Cranes and scaffolding at a higtvrise building site crashed to the ground after a powerful earthquake jolted Taiwan on Sunday, killing five construction workers, authorities said. More than 200 injuries were reported across the island, mostly minor, as the quake started fires, shattered windows and cracked walls. Local officials said it registered a mag­ nitude 6.8, but the U.S. Geological Survey estimated it higher, at 7.1. Two cranes fell from the 60th floor of á higtvrise building under construction. Television footage showed the cranes tum­ bling down from the top of the structure, bringing steel beams and chunks of cement down with them. Extremists unite in Pakistan WANA, Pakistan — In Pakistan’s wild coun­ try along the Afghan border, aLQaida fugitives and homegrown Islamic extremists are team­ ing up to confront Pakistan’s government and its American allies. Pakistanis and Afghans familiar with extremist organizations say their aim is to punish President Pervez Musharraf for aban­ doning the Afghan Taliban and banning sever­ al militant groups in Pakistan in connection with the U.S.-ied war on terrorism. Teervager falls to his death MEXICO CITY — An l&year-old spring breaker fell to his death from a ninth-floor hotel balcony in the Pacific coast city of Mazatlan early Sunday, police said. Witnesses told authorities that they saw Travis Cossey, originally from Massachusetts, dancing to music he was blasting from portable speakers and doing tequila shots on the balcony of his room at the Hotel Rivera in Mazatlan’s tourist zone shortly before his 3:30 a.m. fell. Carlos Palomino, a spokesman for Mazatlan’s police department, said a long night of hard drinking probably caused Cossey to lose his balance and topple off the hotel’s narrow balcony. Clinton regrets Rich pardon WASHINGTON — Former President Clinton says he regrets the last-minute pardon he gave to fugitive financier Marc Rich because it has tarnished his reputation. Asked it he would do it again, “probably not, just for the politics,” he said in an inter­ view with Newsweek magazine. A list of 177 pardons and clemencies was released by the Clinton White House just hours before he left office and George W. Bush was sworn in on Jan. 20,2001. Since then, they have been investigated by federal prosecutors and Congress. Compiled from Associated Press reports By Purva Patel Daily Texan Staff Romantic relations between faculty and students in college, w hether unw anted or consensual, constitute the affairs of cam pus legend and lore. But the UT policy on con­ sensual relationships m ay need revision in light of the Office of Civil Rights' investiga­ tion of a sexual harassm en t com p lain t against the University. The com plaint alleges the University cre­ ated a hostile environm ent for students, and among its claim s is that some professors w ithin the School of Music have reputations for dating students, according to records released to The Daily Texan under the Texas Public inform ation Act. Katie Jahnke, a governm ent senior, found herself in a 10-m onth relationship w ith one of her music professors in 1995. Though h er specific case isn 't un d er investigation, UT officials have released the report on her com ­ plaint to the OCR. Jahnke said she thought the relationship was consensual at the time, but she suffered intense anxiety d u rin g and after the rela­ tionship, w hich eventually led her to file a complaint. Jahnke, w ho entered the University as a performance m ajor to study opera w hen she was 19, said the professor began courting her by show ing u p w here she worked and volunteering to drive h er to and from a p e r­ formance gig he h ad found for her at a local church. "He did it so gradually," she said. "H e seems like the m ost gentle person in the world. I'm definitely aw are of guys leering, you know." But she says he m anaged to seduce her because he w ooed her at a vulnerable tim e in her life: She w as a freshman away from home w ith a m other recently diagnosed with cancer. "H e's very crafty in w ho he chooses," Jahnke said. According to UT records, the professor had previously d ated several students and openly disregarded the UT policy. The relationship eventually grew into a sexual one, and Jahnke said the pressure of a secretive affair coupled with fear of reper­ cussions for h er college and professional career prodded h er to end the relationship. "He told me he w ould be fired, which basi­ cally scared the living daylights out of me," she said.

Associated Press Music school analyzes concerns Complaints lead to federal probe By Peter Walker Daily Texan Staff I j I I i The relatively large am ount of time spent in individual instruction in the UT School of Music could lead students to more easily perceive harassment, said H u n ter March, professor and chairm an of the school's Ad Hoc Sexual j I H arassm ent Guidelines Committee.

Four faculty, one staff m em ber and two students make up the committee. j "It's a result of concerns that were perceived from the University. We're very interested because many of us are surprised," March said, referring to sexual harassm ent concerns in the I music school. The D epartm ent of Education is investigating a com plaint th at the m usic school fosters a hostile environ­ m ent for female students and that officials failed to prom ptly correct the situation. "One of the things we will look into is that a lot of teaching occurs one-on-one. The nature of the art is that you spend a lot of time with professors," March said. All undergraduate students in the j music school are required to study in private lessons with a professor. These sessions are at least one hour a week, M arch said, adding that is not uncom m on for students to study with the same professor for all four years at the University. it j "Something like that could be more easily perceived by a student in that sit­ uation than in a large class situation," March said. March added that students m ay change the professor with whom they study at any time if they feel uncomfort­ able or simply want to pursue another held.

Teresa Graham-Brett said she will meet with various student leaders and administrators and plans to attend the Student Government meeting Tuesday. Graham-Brett, former associate dean of students at the University of Michigan, was appointed as the University's dean of stu­ dents last December, following a compre­ hensive selection process that involved stu­ dents, staff and the administration.

All five, three w om en and tw o men, w ere from Nigeria. The stud en ts' nam es have not been released, pending notification of their relatives. D epartm ent of Public Safety Trooper Jeremy Smith said the accident occurred on Interstate 20 just outside of W eatherford, a tow n about 50 miles w est of Fort Worth and 110 miles from ACU. The vehicle w as traveling west w h en it drove into the center m edian, a concrete em bankm ent, turned upside dow n and landed on its roof at the bottom of a 75-foot deep ravine, Sm ith said. "There was very little braking right before they hit the guard rails," he said. The cause of the crash is u n d er DPS investigation. The vehicle's speed was not determ ined, b u t Sm ith said the vehicle, "had to be going extrem ely fast," because of the force of the crash. The passengers d ied instantly, Smith said. Their bodies See ACU, Page 2 Page 2 Monday, April 1, 2002 T he D a ily T e x a n ACU plans memorial for deceased students ACU, from 1 were taken to Tarrant County med­ ical exam iner's office in Fort Worth. The weather was overcast and damp, and the night it rained before. Daylight was just breaking the crash at 6:35 a.m. when occurred. DPS officials informed the ACU Police Department after finding the students' ACU identification cards. Ted Presley, executive director of ACU's Center for International and Intercultural Education, said he knew the students. "It's a tragic loss," he said. "They were great kids and undergraduate students — young, energetic, a real promise for their families and for their countries." Presley said the university, which is affiliated with the Church of Christ, was on a three-day holiday and doesn't know where the stu­ dents were coming from or going. The students will be mourned during A C U 's daily 11 a.m. chapel assembly Monday. He said a spe­ cial memorial service w illjarobably take place later in the week. "I have children of my own, they're a little bit older, but it's just hard to imagine to have a life taken like that, so quickly," Presley said. ACU has about 4,700 students, and an international student pro­ gram with about 250 students from 63 countries, Presley said. Wendy Kilmer, spokeswoman for ACU, said the campus was quiet late Sunday as most students had not returned from the Easter holi­ day. "The campus isn't as full as it usually is," she said. "People are kind of trickling back in through­ out the day, so I'm sure that stu­ dents will be getting word through word-of-m outh." Vick: Graham-Brett has experience at big school DOS, from 1 good choice for the position. "I am excited about Dr. Brett starting her assignment as our new dean of stu­ dents," Vick said. "I think she has valu­ able experience in institutions that are comparable to UT and working with diverse populations." Graham-Brett began her career at the University of Arizona in 1989 working in the Office of Minority Services until 1993, when she was appointed as the associate director of minority student services. She then worked as the associate director in the Office of Academic Multicultural ini­ tiatives at the University of Michigan until her 1998 appointment as the associate dean of students. Graham-Brett said although she brings an understanding of student diversity to the Office of the Dean of Students, she wants to get acquainted with the student body before incorpo­ rating that knowledge. "One of the things I love about being at a big institution is that there is so much happening and so many opportunities and such a wide range of students and staff," she said. "I'm really looking forward to the vibrancy of the campus." Vick said the University's response to Graham-Brett7 s appointment has been positive. "We had a great deal of involve­ ment in the [selection] process from students and faculty and administra­ tors ... and there was a great deal of support for Teresa Brett," Vick said. '1 believe the reaction to her appoint­ ment has been very encouraging." Graham-Brett said she is excited to be working at such a large institution. '1 want to see what's going on and see what the issues are," Graham-Brett said. "In a lot of ways, I'm trying to get a sense of what the culture is like and look for opportunities to integrate some of that [experience] into what's going on here." The dean of students represents stu­ dents' interests and concerns, oversees student groups and disciplinary action and maintains relations with media and faculty. Graham-Brett was selected as the new dean after an intensive search to replace former Dean of Students Sharon Justice, who resigned last spring. The first search committee selected four finalists out of 150 applicants. Students and state legislators raised concern about the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the four white final­ ists. Vick then added an additional three candidates to the list, but protests continued and a new search committee was selected for a second round.

"I was nervous the first morning, and I stayed nervous up until Ian touched the wall on the last relay," Hannan said. "This is by far the most enjoyable championship I have won since I've been here. We worked hard for it, and I think that it was a complete team effort." Sophomore Brendan Hansen had another strong showing for Texas, winning both the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke events. In the 100, Hansen won for the second straight year with a time of 52.47 seconds. On the final day of the meet, Hansen set a U.S. and NCAA record in the 200 with a time of 1:52.88. The record broke his own record time of 1:53.11, which Hansen set at last year's NCAA championships. In only his second year as a Longhorn, Hansen has won four individual NCAA championships. "One of my goals all year was to get better [in the 200 breaststroke] than I was last year," Hansen said. "I still could have gone faster than 1:52.88, but I will be content with that." Hansen was also a member of the 400-yard medley relay team, along with Hannan, Crocker, and Kemp. The Longhorns finished the relay in second place with a time of 3:06.93, just .12 seconds behind Stanford. Texas' time in the relay ranks as the second-fastest time in school history. On the second day of competition, Crocker set a new U.S. and NCAA record with a first-place time of 45.44 seconds in the 100-yaid butterfly. The win gave Crocker his second-straight NCAA championship in the 100-yard butterfly. Following the meet, Troy Dumais was named NCAA Diver of the Year for the third-consecu­ tive time and Texas diving coach Matt Scoggin earned Diving Coach of the Year honors for the fifth time. Troy Dumais ended his career with seven individual NCAA championships, in addition to three team national titles. Texas head coach Eddie Reese said winning close races is the key to winning national cham­ pionships. "A lot of people wish you good luck when you come to a meet like this," Reese said. "I tell them I don't want the luck, I just want to win the close races and there were a lot of close races this w eek" Although the Texas swimmers performed exceptionally well once again, the Texas divers were the ones who put the Longhorns on the top for the third-straight season. Hansen acknowl­ edged that the Texas divers were the key factor in Texas winning another national title. "Nobody said that the team race was going to be easy, and the divers kept us in it," Hansen said. "We are definitely the Texas Diving and Swimming Team, not the Texas Swimming and Diving Team." Asso ciated Press Texas’ Troy Dumais competes in the one-meter diving finals at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in Athens, Ga., Thursday night Dumais won the event with a score of 390.35. Student says effects of relationship caused her to abandon first major RELATIONSHIP, from 1 who brought the professor down." But even after it ended, one event — about which she has written to the OCR, but which went unmen­ tioned in the University's final report on her complaint — spurred her decision to take a year off from school and change majors. She said that in 1998, male performers groped her on stage as part of a scene. She said when she ques­ tioned one of them later, he said he had been instruct­ ed to do so by the director — the same one with whom she had ended the relationship. She said she felt he was punishing her. "I stopped wanting to perform after that," Jahnke said. "M y enthusiasm really waned after that. I just sort of closed down. I couldn't concentrate. I just fled * from the music school." Her departure from the school eased her decision to file a complaint, she added. "I had courage because I wasn't there anymore," she said. "I couldn't imagine doing it with all my teachers knowing about it." Changing majors was difficult for Jahnke, who from Dallas' prestigious Booker T. graduated Washington Arts Magnet High School. "I've majored in music since I was 14," she said. She took a year off from school, returned as a gov­ ernment major and is looking forward to law school. She said she feels more loss than regret about her career change. "M aybe I'd have changed paths anyway," she said. "But it shouldn't have happened through this experience." Today she's redirecting her energy into creating the world in which she would like to live: "A world where women do not live in fear of being assaulted or harassed, a world where women are recognized as equal and respected in their entirety." Since filing the complaint, Jahnke has worked as a SafePlace legal advocate, Women's Resource Center director, UT Violence Against Women committee member and the producer of the University's first Vagina Monologues. "It7s been a lot for the past year and a half, but I have a sense of urgency," she said. "I'm really happy now and love what I'm doing." UT officials found the accused professor in violation of UT policy and recommended he receive a written reprimand. They also suggested the University con­ sider prohibiting consensual relationships because their investigation of Jahnke's case made it "clear that the policy of discouraging consensual relationships is certain to cause problems for the University." The investigation made it apparent that the inherent power imbalance in such relationships often consti­ tutes harassment. While the administration did publish a revised poli­ cy in November, it didn't ban consensual relationships. "It7s like Prohibition or banning cigarette smoking," she said, adding that the committee inserted a report­ ing clause to address possible allegations that relation­ ships were unfair to other students and create conflicts of interest. The new policy requires faculty members who find themselves in consensual relationships to notify their immediate supervisor to determine the steps neces­ sary to remedy the situation. Penalties for failure to report range from written reprimands to termination. The revision also broadens the policy to apply to all supervisor-subordinate rela­ tionships. Billie Dziech, a professor at the University of Cincinnati and author of The Lecherous Professor, Sexual in Higher Education, and Dangerous Harassment Relations, supports bans on all professor-student rela­ tionships. Dziech said while it's plausible that some relation­ ships are truly consensual, most probably aren't. She said she would prefer a ban on all faculty-student relationships. Such relationships can undermine the educational environment for the student involved, especially if they lead to preferential treatment or grade boosts. Due to the Complications for all involved parties — and the quality the rest of the class loses due to the dis­ turbance — Dziech advises couples to save relation­ ships for when they can meet as equals. She concedes bans may not be the perfect solution because of the difficulty in supervising all human behavior, but she said bans would set the tone for a campus. "Stop signs and traffic lights don't solve every­ thing," she said. "But they send a strong message." Jahnke hopes her experience will spur some change in UT policy and teach students to think twice about faculty-student relationships. "It opened my eyes to the power dynamic between men and women in the traditional sense," she said. "Having been through it, I didn't enter the relation­ ship because I thought it would be advantageous. I didn't think I'd get completely screwed over." Individual attention heightens awareness MUSIC, from 1 may also extend outside of the class­ room at events such as recitals. March added that students may feel pressured to not report cases of sexual harassment, regardless of the type of complaint or consultation. "I could see why a student may think twice before filing any com­ plaint anywhere in the University," March said. "That's not to say that a faculty mem ber would hold this against a student." Consultations help students assess their grievances and explore other avenues. Informal complaints grant the complainant anonymity but don't require any disciplinary action. Formal complaints aren't anonymous but involve investigations that can result in penalties up to and including termination. March said the committee is still in the early stages and is researching sexual harassment policies at other large public universities. "We hope by the end of the semes­ ter to have a proposed policy to pres­ ent to the students and faculty," March said. Angela Griffiths, a music sopho- more and Student Government repre­ sentative for the College of Fine Arts, said the one-on-one interaction may promote sexual harassment. "I think that the possibility is there," Griffiths said. "If that ever happened to me, I would definitely do something about it. I wouldn't nec­ essarily know where to go." Students may file a complaint or request for a consultation with the Office of the Dean of Students. Griffiths added that she has studied with the same professor for nearly two years and has never seen reason to switch. Billie Dziech, a professor at the University of Cincinnati and author of The Lecherous Professor, Sexual Harassment in Higher Education and Dangerous Relations, said some depart­ ments create environments more con­ ducive to sexual harassment. "In some academic fields it is much easier to disguise this behavior and get away with a lot," Dziech said. "You can use terms and actions that you wouldn't otherwise use or do. It becomes a culture. It is the culture of some departments, especially in med­ icine, when there is so much to lose." John Dawson New class starting soon.

T he Daily T exan By The Associated Press By The Associated Press April 1, 2002 _ _ _ ^ _ RAMALLAH, West Bank — Saying Israel is in a war for survival, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon vowed to smash Palestinian militants in an uncompromising offensive, as he addressed a nation rattled by five sui­ cide bombings in five days, including back-to-back attacks Sunday that killed 15 Israelis. In an expansion of Israel's "Operation Protective Wall," dozens of Israeli tanks entered the West Bank town of Qalqiliya late Sunday, gover­ nor Mustafa Malki said. Electricity was cut off, and exchanges of fire could be heard. Armored vehicles also massed near biblical Bethlehem. In Ramallah, under Israeli control since Friday, dozens of European peace activists, their arms raised and holding white flags, marched past Israeli soldiers surrounding Yasser Arafat's office to join the Palestinian leader, saying they would stay with him as human shields. Earlier in the day, Israeli forces sur­ rounding the building exchanged fire with Arafat's guards, and Palestinian officials said Arafat was just a few yards from the fighting. Several guards were wounded, two of them seriously. The Israeli army spokesman, Brig. Gen. Ron Kitrey, acknowledged that Arafat was at risk, even if he was not a target. At least 15 Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers had been killed in Ramallah since Friday. In and addition, witnesses Palestinian officials said Israeli sol­ diers opened fire on and killed five policemen the Palestinians tried to surrender in Ramallah. Israel's army said it was checking the claim. Sunday when "We put our weapons at the main entrance and started to walk out when the Israelis fired on us," said a policeman at the building who would only give his name as Omar. He said 17 police remained in the building and the standoff continued. Israel Radio also reported that five Palestinian policemen were killed in the shooting, and one had an explo­ sives belt. Addressing the nation in a five- minute televised speech, Sharon said Israel is fighting a "war over’our home" and branded Arafat an enemy of the Jewish state and the "entire free world," as well as a danger to the Middle East. "We must fight against this terror­ ism, fight with no compromise, pull up these wild plants by the roots, smash their infrastructure, because there is no compromise with terror­ ism," Sharon said, adding that only then would a cease-fire be possible. Palestinian Cabinet Minister Saeb The Cabinet met Sunday to review plans for the next stage of the offen­ sive, for which 20,000 reserve soldiers were mobilized. Some newspaper commentaries said the military campaign was m ain­ ly driven by Sharon's need to settle a personal score with Arafat, who in 1982 was besieged by Sharon's forces in Beirut, but was able to leave Lebanon with thousands of fighters. "This explains Sharon's trem en­ dous urge to humiliate A rafat," Nahum Bamea wrote in the Yediot Ahronot daily. In the first of Sunday's two suicide blasts, a Palestinian from the Islamic militant group Hamas blew him self up in a restaurant, killing himself and 15 diners, and wounding more than 40. The blast tore away much of the roof and shattered tables and w in­ dows. Twisted piles of metal covered the floor. "Even the moderately injured were on fire," said a witness, Shimon Sabag, who helped adm inis­ ter first aid. Two hours later, a suicide bom ber walked into a paramedics' dispatch station in the Jewish settlement of Efrat in the West Bank and detonated his explosives. The attacker died and four medics were wounded, includ­ ing a trainee who was in serious con­ dition. President George W. Bush, who has defended Israel's offensive, con­ demned Sunday's bombings and said they would not "deter him from the pursuit of peace," said White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe. Israel's ambassador to the United Nations said U.S. officials have sug­ gested to Israel that it would not have to act immediately on a U.N. Security Council resolution passed Saturday, since its call for Israel to withdraw from Palestinian territory had no timetable. "Everyone is aware of this, the the Americans," including ambassador, Yehuda Lancry, told Israel Army Radio. In Ramallah, the Palestinians' com ­ mercial center, Israeli troops com ­ mandeered homes and buildings, set up sandbag emplacements draped with camouflage netting on residen­ tial streets, erected barricades and dug trenches, making the hilly streets into a near-impassable maze. There were sporadic exchanges of fire. Reporters saw two bodies of Palestinians lying in a street in the center of the city, near 15 Palestinians kneeling against a wall under Israeli army guard.

The Foreign Press Association in Israel issued a protest, saying media must be allowed to cover a major story. Anthony Shadid, a Washington- based Boston Globe reporter, was shot in the shoulder Sunday while stand­ ing in the'doorway of a Ramallah shop, said Globe foreign editor James F. Smith. Shadid was conscious and in stable condition in a private Arab hospital in Ramallah, Smith said. It was not clear who shot him and the Israeli army was investigating. Violence erupted in September 2000, destroying peace negotiations the hardline and helping bring Sharon to power. In the past 18 months, 1,264 people have been killed on the Palestinian side and 416 on the Israeli side. eral handcuffed Palestinian police­ men into a military vehicle. Palestinian officials accused sol­ diers of firing on Palestinians trying to surrender. Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, head of the Palestinian Medical Relief Services, said 22 Palestinian police­ men who had been holed up in a building shouted out to Israeli troops Sunday that they had put down their weapons and were surrendering. When the policemen emerged, they came under Israeli fire, killing at least one and up to three policemen, according to Barghouti, who said he spoke by telephone with the police­ men. The exact toll was not known because away Palestinian ambulances sent to the scene, Barghouti said. soldiers turned Palestinian Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo and witnesses calling in to Palestinian television also reported on the confrontation. But there was no way to independ­ ently verify it. Israel has been trying to isolate Arafat, confining him to a three-floor building in the sprawling govern­ ment compound in Ramallah. In the building Sunday, a smiling Arafat hugged the peace activists vis­ iting him. Israeli-Canadian, Netta Golan who has been Jiving in Ramallah for the past few months, was among 30 activists who said they would remain with Arafat as human shields. "I know that the only chance for Israelis to have peace and security is for the Palestinians to have peace and security," Golan, 30, said in a tele­ phone interview. Israel declared Ramallah a closed military zone and said for- By The Associated Press VATICAN CITY — Struggling with his own pain, Pope John Paul II used his Easter message to issue a forceful plea for an end to a bkxxiy spiral of violence that has created "horror and despair" in the Holy Land. Following a string of Palestinian suicide bombings and the Israeli takeover of Yasser Arafat's compound in the West Bank, John Paul dedicated much of the traditional address to the conflict. Assisted by two cardinals, the frail, 81-year-old pope celebrated Mass on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica. The address, titled "Urbi et Orbi" — "To the dty and to the world" — was a victory of sorts for John Paul, who in recent days was forced to defer to his doc­ tors and give up several of his traditions, including celebrating Palm Sunday and Holy Thursday Masses and walking in a Good Friday procession at the Colosseum. Speaking in Italian, he called on Christians everywhere to help stop "the dra­ matic spiral of imposition of will by force and killings which bloody the Holy Land, plunged again in these very days into horror and despair." Remarking glumly that it appeared that "war has been declared on peace," John Paul called on political and religious leaders to do what they can to "help everyone to rediscover mutual respect and return to frank negotiation." "Nothing is resolved through reprisal and retaliation," the pope said. John Paul also lamented the lack of peace in general in the world, remarking that history shows that peace "is often a precarious balance of powers that soon­ er or later turn against one another once more." I he Vatican has said the pope is cutting back his activities to rest a knee afflict­ ed with painful arthrosis, a joint disease. On Sunday, a Rome surgeon said the Vatican is looking into the possibility of knee surgery soon for the pontiff. At times Sunday, the pope's face was contorted in apparent pain, his left hand shook as he rested it on the ahar and he clenched a prayer book stand for extra support. During prayers, his voice was sometimes slurred, a symptom of Parkinson's disease. But at the end of the one-hour Mass, the pope summoned his strength to raise his voice in a denunciation of Middle East bloodshed. Before the start of the ceremony, long lines of tourists and Romans formed at the edge of the square as the faithful waited their turns to pass by metal detec­ tors. Security was stepped up at the Vatican after the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States. In recent days, security was further heightened in Italy after the U.S. State Department warned that American citizens could be targeted by extremists in four cities on Easter: Venice, Florence, Milan and Verona. Through most of the ceremony, the pope sat in an armchair shaded from a brilliant sun by a canopy. At the end, he recited Easter wishes in 62 languages. On Saturday night, John Paul often looked weary during a three-hour Easter vigil ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica. A special altar was constructed for him so he wouldn't have to climb steps. Britons mourn matriarch By The Associated Press LONDON — The great State Bell of St. Paul's Cathedral tolled Sunday in remembrance of the Queen Mother, as peo­ ple across Britain prayed for her at Easter services and admir­ ers lined up at royal palaces to sign books of condolence. Queen Elizabeth II, who has lost her mother and her only sister, Princess Margaret, within seven weeks, attended a pri­ vate service at Windsor Castle, grieving a much-loved royal matriarch who died Saturday at 101. Prince Charles and his sons flew home from a ski trip in Switzerland to join the rest of the royal family. Crowds of admirers gathered outside Windsor Castle's gates, and some left flowers and notes. More than 50 bright bouquets of spring flowers rested against a St. James's Palace wall in central London, where hundreds of people lined up on a chilly and overcast morning to sign books of condolence. Visitors to St. James's Palace underwent stringent security checks before being allowed in the palace's Long Corridor, where 16 books of condolence were laid out on tables. More than a thousand visitors had signed the books by lunch time, and the figure had more than doubled by mid- afternoon. Marion Russell, 59, said she spent the night outside the gates of Buckingham Palace after lighting a candle in memo­ ry of the Queen Mother. "I saw the Queen Mother three or four times in my lifetime, and she was a beautiful, grand old woman who did so much for this country." Although the death dominated news headlines, the pass­ ing of the Queen Mother at such a great age and after months of illness did not come as a surprise. The number of mourn­ ers at the palaces was modest compared to the turnout at the death of her husband, Geoige VI, in 1952. The fairly muted response across Britain reflected the diminished role of the monarchy. Some of those who came to mourn the Queen Mother were deeply moved. "She was a great lady, with a lovely smile," said Londoner Rose Hakim, 57. "She will be deeply, deeply missed. And God bless the monarchy. " Matthew Shearer, holding his two young daughters by the hand, said it was a historic moment. "It is not just her death," he said, "but the change, the passing of an era." The Queen Mother's Westminster Abbey funeral was set for April 9, following three days in which she will lie in state in Westminster Hall at the Houses of Parliament under cere­ monial guard. Great Tom, the State Bell at St. Paul's, rang for an hour Sunday afternoon to mark the Queen Mother's passing, as it did just seven weeks ago after the death of Princess Margaret. Hie bell tolls only for deaths of members of the royal family, serving deans of the cathedral or senior national figures. It was tolled for Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, for for­ mer wartime prime minister; Sir Winston Churchill, in 1965, and for the queen's father, King George VI, in 1952. Flags flew at half-staff from Buckingham Palace to the Murrayfield rugby stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland, 50 miles south of Glam is Castle, the Queen M other's ancestral home. In Scotland, at the Palace in of Holyroodhouse Edinburgh, one of the first to arrive at the Wrought-iron gates of the 15th century palace was American visitor Jason Gies. "The Queen Mother was a sign of strength, respect and brought out the values of what I think Great Britain is," said the 29 -y e a r-o ld banker from New York City. ' Our countries have come together so much in the last six months, I felt like I should do this." • Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother: Died in her sleep Saturday in Windsor Palace near London The Queen Mother's coffin was carried Sunday afternoon from her Windsor home, Royal Lodge, to the nearby Royal Chapel of All Saints, where family members were attending an evensong service. The coffin was draped in the Queen Mother's Royal Standard, and a small wreath of pink camellias picked from the garden at Royal Lodge was placed on top. The service was brief but poignant- Just a few yards from the coffin, the queen, dressed in black, led senior royals in prayer and remembrance. The Queen Mother will be buried beside her husband in the George VI Chapel, which was dedicated in March 1969. The remains of the king, who died nearly half a century ago, were transferred from the nearby vaults of the main chapel 17 years after his death. The royal family will remain in mourning until April 19, after the planned memorial service for Princess Margaret, who died Feb. 9 at age 71. Her funeral was held privately. Margaret's ashes will be interred at the George VI Memorial Chapel. The Queen Mother, who joined the royal family in 1923 when she married the second son of King George V, led an active public life almost until the end. She had an especially close bond w ith the generation that lived through World War II, when German bombs rained down on London. Over decades of dramatic social change and upheaval, through the abdication crisis that put her reluctant husband on the throne in 1936, the devastation of World War II and the royal family breakups of the 1990s, the Queen Mother endured as a symbol of stability and strength. During his Easter homily at Westminster Cathedral, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, paid tribute to the Queen Mother's "courage, dignity, grace, sense of fun and vitality." "And with her toclay goes the passing of a century, the passing of an age," he said. Register Now For Summer Classes At Your Favorite Dallas Community College, Move It! Move It!

Judge grants incumbents spots on May ballot By Esther Wang Daily Texan S ta ff The uncertainty surrou nding the M ay 4 Austin C ity Council election becam e even m ore confusing Friday when a judge ruled that Daryl Slusher and Jackie G oodm an will be on the ballot, even if their op ponents' law ­ suits succeed. Council candidate Kirk M itchell filed a law ­ suit against his election foe and form er friend D aryl Slusher last w eek, alleging num erous cam paign finance violations. M itchell had hoped the law suit would result in Slu sher's rem oval from the ballot. But D istrict Ju d g e Su zan n e C o v in g to n ruled that the incum bent will be on the ballot, and granted S lu sh e r's request for a jury trial on April 8. C ovington said that since the issue o f w hether Slu sher violated cam paign finance rules is a question of fact, not law, he is en ti­ tled to a jury trial. Covington also threw out candidate Linda Curtis' request to add councilw om an Jackie G oodm an as a defend ant in the M itchell law ­ suit. Curtis responded by filing her ow n law ­ suit against G ood m an, her opponent, contest­ ing that the she violated cam paign finance laws. C urtis' law suit also contends the verifi­ cation process that the city clerk used w as invalid — a claim M itchell d id n 't m ake. T h e initial hearing in the C u rtis law suit will be Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. B ut no m atter the outcom e of the trials, Slusher and G oodm an w ill appear on the M ay ballot. Since the city validated their petitions, the law requires them to be on the b allot even if they're found to be ineligible before the elec­ tion, C ovington said. M itchell is concerned a ju ry trial m ay be postponed until it's too late for any m eaning­ ful action to be taken. "Justice delayed is justice denied, but if we can fit it in before i f s too late, of course we're for that," Mitchell said. "What we're having right now is that with the time frame, we're going to have mistakes made by the judge, by me, by the defendant, everyone." Mitchell said changes should be made to the term-limit law so that those contesting the eligibility of their opponents have enough time to make an effective challenge. But if a proposed charter amendment repealing the 1997 term-limit law is passed, there may never be someone in Mitchell's sit­ uation again in Austin, and the whole legal battle over the petition drive and election may become a blip in Austin election history. No one in 1997 expected this to come out of the term-limit law, and some didn't even know there was a provision that would allow council members to circumvent the two-term restriction, Goodm an said. She said an initially positive effort — the petition drive — has now become twisted by petty politics. "The attitude and the effort itself were pos­ itive at first," Goodman said. "This [lawsuitj of course isn't." Life of labor leader Chávez remembered at celebration By Austin Kinghorn Daily Texan S taff About 50 A ustinites gathered to pay tribute to the legacy ot C ésar Chavez, founder of the N ational Farm W orkers A ssociation , at a b irth d ay celebration Saturday. M ayor G us Garcia, Travis County Com m issioner M argaret G om ez and others were on hand for the event. The celebration m arked the fourth year for the celeb ra tio n , w hich is presented by the H isp an ic W om en's N etw ork of Texas in partnership with the A F L -C IO . T h e festivities included theatrical entertainm ent, food, door prizes and raffles. Garcia and G om ez spoke about Chavez, and a letter of recognition from U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D -A ustin, was read. W inners of a fourth- through sixth-grade essay contest were also honored. G arcia proclaim ed M arch 30, 2002, as César Chavez Day. "C é s a r's m ain contribution w as he believed in the dignity of the hum an being and protecting the rights of those m ost vulnerable," Garcia said. "From the per­ spective of som eone w ho never belonged to a union but has seen the w ork of union leaders, César would have to stand at the very top w ith the leaders of this great country that have protected the rights of individuals." C há vez is m ost recognized for his w ork in pioneering the N ational Farm W orkers A ssociation, which becam e affiliated with the A FL—C IO in 1966. H e led several suc­ cessful strikes, fasts and boycotts against the grape pro­ duction industry and brought forth dynam ic legislative changes that still control collective bargaining laws. Chavez, w ho died in 1993, received the Aztec Eagle and the Presidential M edal of Freedom , the highest civilian honor in the United States, for his lifetim e of dedication to union representation. G om ez said Chavez im pacted her life. "I believe that when I m et him that I learned what it was to see com m itm ent to com m unity and to see w hat sacrificing for others looked like," Gom ez said. "I'll never forget that meeting with César Chavez, and he did make a tremendous impression on people. He didn't wait for anyone to join in on him making sacrifices." M aria C ascio, presid ent of H isp an ic W om en's N etw ork of Texas, said she believes rem em bering Chavez is relevant for UT students because he paved the w ay for m any of the freedom s students enjoy. "It is very im portant to rem em ber César because it is not just education that m akes this country work, it is also labor," Cascio said. "M igran t w orkers are the core of w hat this country stands for. They provide the labor in order for the educated to enjoy w hat their futures have to offer." C ascio said more people would turn ou t to honor C h avez's m em ory if they w ere educated on the contri­ butions he m ade to society. "T h e H ispanic W om en's N etw ork will strive to m ake next y e a r's celebration bigger and better," she said. fI H 48tmmémuá § -f I N o m a d ic N o t io n s Beads, G ifts, J ewelry, For M en a n d Wo m en 2 4 2 6 G U A D A L U P E 3 0 1 0 W .

T he Daily Texan S ports Ontiveros ties Kieschnick with 43rd homer Longhorns return from California after taking 1-of 3 from No. 1 Stanford By Jeff Sturdevant Daily Texan S ta ff Texas first b asem an Jeff O ntiveros inched closer to securing his nam e at the top of the record books, hitting the 43rd hom e run of his career on Saturday. The hom e run ties him with Brooks Kieschnick for career home runs at Texas. Unfortunately, O ntiveros and the rest of the No. 16 Texas baseball team return to tow n wondering w hat could have been. A ninth-inning grand slam w as the dif­ ference in this series, as the Longhorns (25- 8) fell on the road to the top -ran ked Stanford Cardinal (19-6) in the most d ra­ m atic of fashions. won 2-0. In Thursday's opener, Texas was breez­ ing to a big lead behind a stellar pitching outing by Brad Halsey, who pitched eight innings, allowing just seven hits while striking out seven Stanford batters. Texas was ahead 6-1 and heading into the bottom of the ninth inning before Stanford put together a five-run rally to tie the gam e. But the C ard inal then put together a tw o-out rally in the 10th to score the go-ahead run in the series opener. The Longhorns rebounded in Friday's gam e due to an outstanding perform ance by Justin Simmons, who pitched a com ­ plete-gam e, 10-inning shutout, as Texas Texas' two runs came in the top of the inning, as O m ar Q u in ta n illa got 10th things started off with a one-out double and then advanced to third base on a wild pitch by Stanford's Drew Ehrlich. Ryan Hubele then doubled to left center, scoring Quintanilla. Eric Sultemeier, who returned to Texas' line-up Thursday after being slowed by a sore wrist, then singled in H u bele, scoring Texas' seco n d run. Sultemeier went 3-for-8 in the series. The victory improved Sim m ons' record to 8-0, and the shutout was Texas' seventh in 2002. In Saturday's game, Stanford got ahead by four runs in the first inning, and that margin proved to be more than Texas was able to overcome, as the Cardinal won 7-2 to take the series. Ontiveros had a stand-out series offen­ sively ag ain st to p -ran k ed team, going 4-for-9 during the three games, including a home run, a double and three RBIs. the n a tio n 's Texas returns to action Tuesday, taking on UT-San Antonio before facing confer­ ence foe Kansas in a three-game series starting Friday. The Longhorns faced UT-SA previously this season on Feb. 19, d efeatin g the Roadrunners 20-3. 7 Monday April 1, 2002 Texas first basem an Jeff Ontiveros hit his 43rd career h om e run, tying him with Brooks K ieschn ick for the Longhorn career hom e-run record. Alex Jones/ Daily Texan S ta ff Key Returner Vasher’s special teams abilities highlight Orange-White gam e B y M e r c e d e s P a r k e r Daily Texan Staff Nathan Vasher m ade the most of his new position with the Texas foot­ annual ball O range-W hite Scrim m ag e — only it w asn't at cornerback. team at S a t u r d a y 's Vasher, a junior who was moved from strong safety to cornerback ear­ lier in the Longhorns' spring prac­ tices, is now also returning kickoffs in addition to punts. And before a spring-gam e record crowd of 34,500 fans at M em orial Stadium, Vasher was Texas' special team^, instead of d efe n siv e star, retu rnin g the o penin g k ick o ff 100 yards for a touchdown. Two series later, Vasher returned a punt 54 yards for a touchdown. After V asher's special-teams show, Texas head coach Mack Brown had to tell him to fair catch the remaining punts first-team offense to get some playing time. in order for the " I thought he was going to screw the scrim m age up," Brown said. "1 d id n 't think our first offense wag going to get to play. I finally said, 'either fair-catch it, or get him out." "Nathan, to me, is the most exciting kick returner in the country," Brown said. "E very time he touches it, some exciting things happen." Vasher said it is all just a part of the game plan for Texas. " I think th at's one of the most exciting ways to start a game — to take one to the house," Vasher said. "[T h e punt return] just another thing w e've been trying to do, and it was set up perfectly." is Even sen io r q u a rte rb a ck Chris Simms was giving Vasher a hard time for taking up his practice time. "That annoyed me," Sim m s said jokingly. "I told him he better start fair-catching, so 1 could go out there and throkw a few balls. But, as long as he does it in the season, I w o n 't com ­ plain about it in practice." When Sim m s did get his chance on the field, he m ade the m ost of it. Simms, w ho was only in the sc rim ­ mage for tw o series, completed 4-of- 5 passes for 49 yards, including one 22-yard pass d o w n the middle to ju n ­ ior tight end Bo Scaife. That pass w as part of a seven-play, 53-yard scoring drive, capped by a 13-yard to u ch d o w n run by s o p h o ­ more running back Cedric Benson. Sophom ore Chance Mock solidified his status as the No. 2 quarterback for tw o Texas. M ock, who played series each with the first- and second- team offen se s, co m p leted 5 -o f-10 passes for 51 yards. in "[M o ck has] improved leaps and bounds since the start of sp rin g ," Simms said. Sophom ore kicker Dusty M angum capped off the O range team 's final two drives with field goals of 38 and 22 yards. In other areas of special teams, J u stin s o p h o m o re p u nter Smith rivaled senior Brian Bradford with a long pu nt of 52 y ard s to Bradford's 44 yards. Also, sophom ore Richm ond M cG ee booted both his kickoffs through the end zone. "We have som e great com petition in our k ick ing g a m e ," right now Brown said.

By Chad Thom as Daily Texan Staff Through five conference games this season, the Texas softball team has already tied its entire conference win total from last year. The Longhorns are a perfect 5-0 to start Big 12 play. Kansas became the latest victim for the streaking Longhorns (32-9), who took both games of the weekend set 2-1 to take sole possession of first place in the Big 12. "They were tight ballgames," head coach Connie Clark said. "Kansas does a good job'of hitting the ball and staying aggressive, so it is just nice to get two wins." No. 23 Texas, winner of its last seven, broke a six-game losing streak to the Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kan., thanks in large part to a pair of solid pitching per­ formances from freshmen Cat Osterman and Amy Bradford. (19-15, 2-5) After surrendering a lead-off home run in the first game of the doubleheader, the Osterman rebounded Jayhawks the remaining six innings. The left-hander Osterman (21-6) scattered four hits and finished with 17 strikeouts on the day, moving her into second place on the UT single-season strikeout list. to stymie through Bradford, meanwhile, threw 5 1 / 3 innings, giving up only an unearned run to pick up her 10th win. Texas shortstop Erin M ahoney co n ­ tinued her torrid pace from the plate through the tw o-game series, going 3-for-6 with two runs and one RBI. Right fielder Deeanna Williams also cam e th ro u g h for the L o n g h o rn s, going 4-for-7 on th^ day with two RBI, including what proved to be the gam e-w in ner in the second contest. Texas travels to College Station for its first meeting with No. 22 Texas A&M this Wednesday before returning home for a weekend series with No. 4 Nebraska.

Connecticut won by big m argins all se a ­ oppon en ts. by w earin g d ow n so n O klahom a (32-4) refused to let that happen. Trailing by 16 early in the second half, O klahom a got to w ithin six with a little m ore than two m in utes left. Things like that did not happen to the H uskies this sea ­ son, but they respon ded. Diana Taurasi converted a key three- point play and player of the year Sue Bird w rapped it up with six straight free throws. With 18 seconds left, Bird w as able to drib­ ble out the clock, and the H uskies had their title. Connecticut com m itted 21 turnovers, two short of its season high, and was 0-for-9 on three-point shots. All that did was force the H uskies to find another w ay to win it, and th ey did by o v erp o w e rin g the Sooners inside. C ash was the stron gest presence with 20 p o in ts and 13 re b o u n d s. Jones had 19 p oin ts, nine rebou n ds an d five blocks. W illiam s finished w ith 23 points and nine rebounds. C ash was selected the outstanding play­ er in the Final Four. Oh, and don't forget the guards. Bird had 14 points and four a s s is ts and made all eight of her free throw s. Taurasi added 13 poin ts and got the h on or o f heaving the ball into the stands when it w a s over. Oklahoma showed its resiliency by mak­ it a gam e after a p o o r start. All- in g A m erican Stacey Dales led the Sooners w ith 18 points. Rosalind R oss scored 17 and L a N e ish e a Caufield had 14. B u t the Sooners could not overcom e their 39 percent shooting and Connecticut's 44-25 rebou n din g advantage. Connecticut led by 12 at halftim e and stretch ed the lead to 54-38 w hen Taurasi sco re d less than six minutes intp the second im m inent, but h a lf. A blowout looked O k lah o m a did not let it happen . D a le s and Ross each hit a three-pointer, a n d the Sooners started to battle their way h ack. Ja m ie Talbert's rebound basket cut the lea d to 66-57, and it w as 71-63 after Caton H ill's three-pointer. And the Sooners kept coming, twice getting to within six, the last time on D ales' layup with 2:15 to play. That w as as close as it w ould get. Taurasi m uscled in a shot while draw ing the fifth foul on D ales and sank the free throw to m ake it 76-67. Then, Connecticut m ade sure that Bird handled the ball the rest of the way. O klahom a had to foul her and, dem o n stratin g the p oise she had shown all season, Bird scored the H uskies' final six points with her free throws. A s Bird dribbled out the clock, she and Taurasi slapp ed hands. Another cham pi­ onship w as theirs.

And in Kissing Jessica Stein, you get to know Jessica Stein pretty well. KISSING JESSICA STEIN ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ sta rrin g Jennifer Westfeldt dire cted by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld A mousy, straight-laced Jewish girl from an upper-middle-class background, Stein is a working girl looking for love in all the wrong places. But if this is begin­ ning to sound like the ominous trailer for the film, which has been playing to death at art houses since last September, have no fear — this is where the similarities end. The "cute little lesbian" flick that Fox Searchlight has been endlessly promoting isn't what Kissing Jessica Stein is really all about. Instead, Kissing Jessica Stein is a romantic comedy of opposites attracting, where the opposites happen to be of the same sex. As politically correct an answer as Jessica Stein poses to the many different factions that would like to liimp it into a particular category, the only way to prop­ erly define it would be to look no further than the type of edgy romantic comedies Miramax was putting out during the mid- 1990s. A golden age in terms of acquisitions, films like Brad Anderson's Next Stop Wonderland, Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy and Doug Liman's Swingers had both the ability to be audience pleasers and a vital­ ity that few Hollywood romantic come­ dies could match. Incidentally, Liman is an executive producer on Jessica Stein. 1 lowever, duplicating tone isn't an easy task; but with the actors involved in the film not being well-known and with the film taking the indie staple of a same-sex relationship, Jessica Stein remains fresh throughout with the kind of irreverence that made films like Swingers so down­ right satisfying. The film establishes its place among such films quickly with an opening scene in which Jessica is sandwiched between her mother and grandmother, with her mother surveying the singles scene at their temple. Culminating with Jessica telling her mother to "shut up, I'm inton­ ing," the moment inspires Jessica to look at the classifieds for a match. She finds, as Phoebe said in a recent episode of Friends, a "collection of human crap." When a friend mistakenly finds an ad that would suit Jessica in the "women seeking women" section, despite her many inhibitions, Jessica winds up in a bar with Helen, an art curator who has always wanted to try lesbianism but has never acted upon it. Although the duo has very little in com­ mon, the two have an instant chemistry that not only acknowledges that their love for each other is an eventuality, but that the only thing standing in the way of having a relationship with each other is overcoming their own personal ticks. Unfortunately, Jessica has a few more than Helen, includ­ ing her old college flame and boss, Josh. Naturally, it's harder for her to separate herself from the expectations she has of the person she wants to become for the relationship to work. If all this is sounding a little too deep for a breezy romantic comedy, it's because Kissing Jessica Stein is much smarter than most romantic comedies. Working from a sharp script written by the film's stars, Jennifer Westfeldt (Jessica) and Heather Juergensen (Helen) — who were obvious­ ly aware of their comic timing and their other strengths as actresses when writing the script — and solid direction from Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, Kissing Jessica Stein is able to keep afloat on its charm. But like its heroine, Jessica, it wants something more. It's not surprising, then, when the film has what functions as two separate endings: one that resolves the romance between Jessica and Helen, and another that resolves how Jessica is able to grapple with the reality she's essentially created for herself. On the lighter side of the picture, Tovah Feldshuh does a nice job as Jessica's firm but supportive mother. Scott Cohen is appropriately debonair as the one-time flame, Josh, which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who watched his turn as Max Medina on WB's Gilmore Girls. And music supervisors Matthew Abbott and Jim Black load the film with a sound­ track that perfectly captures the mood of the film, sometimes even playing with the music to achieve emotiorial effect. Oddly enough, Kissing Jessica Stein is so wisely calculated in both its casting and its tech­ nical aspects, it can afford to open itself up creatively. On first glance, Jessica Stein may not be a girl one would fall for; but once you get to know her, she and her film couldn't be any more refreshing. Mexic-Arte exhibit captures Latinos in a different light By Sarah Adairo Daily Texan Staff Although it is diminutive on the inside, the Mexic-Arte Museum holds large cultural clout with its latest exhibit, "Americanos: Latino Life in the United States." Featuring photographs from 30 pho­ tographers, Austinite including Magdalena Zavala, the exhibit attempts to show the diversity and normalcy of Latino life in America. "What you see on the walls is nothing more than us," said actor and communi­ ty activist Edward James Olmos, who spoke at the exhibit's opening March 29. "[Latinos] are American in the deepest sense of the word. We are from the United States of America and proud of it." Olmos, along with funding from Time Warner Cable, put the exhibit together to educate audiences about Latino culture. Although perhaps best known for his roles in Miami Vice or Stand and Deliver, Olmos spends a great deal of his time actively fighting stereo­ types of the Latino population. The "Americanos" production encom­ passes much more than die photogra­ phy, which is at the Mexic-Arte Museum as part of the Smithsonian's group of traveling exhibits. There is a book, titled Americanos: La Vida Latina en Los Estados Unidos, featuring the photos and com­ mentary by writers such as Maya Angelou and Carlos Fuentes, a docu­ mentary film and a CD. The photography alone is enough to send a powerful message. The 120 pic­ tures, in simple metal frames, reflect Americana with a Latino flare. The only common thread is the ancestry of the subjects; the diversity of photos often makes the audience think twice about a culture forever intertw ined w ith Am erica. 'Tve heard people comment, 'geez, I didn't know [Latinos] played chess,"' Olmos said while describing the public's reaction to the exhibit. The photos depict doctors, women cooking or slaughtering meat and men playing sports. A picture of a young man in a Mohawk hangs across from a a photo of a recent graduate on her way to sewing an Harvard. A woman American flag in Houston contrasts a photo of a Puerto Rican police officer posing with her son during a parade in New York Gty. The "Americanos" exhibit gives a panorama of Latino life from across America; a look at the captions shows glimpses of life from Illinois to New York to Ohio to Washington. "If, as the song says, Jalisco has a sweet heart in Guadalajara, it is also true that Latino culture has admirers all over the world," says a quote on the wall from poet Maya Angelou. A smaller exhibit the back, "Brotherhood of Light," carries the same political message. Featuring 15 photog­ raphers from Mexico, it serves as an extension of the larger "Americanos" exhibit and will run through May 4. in Both exhibits have high artistic merit; the photographers are skilled, and the overall look is professional and polished. The only complaint is that there is not more to see after the first two rooms of the museum; the photos should be seen for both their cultural and artistic merit. The audience seemed very satisfied with the exhibit Friday, and many mem­ bers left with an enlightened outlook on Latino culture. "I'm a Caucasian male, and I see myself [in the photos]," said Time Warner Public Affairs Director Roger Heaney. "As Olmos said, 'It's not about race; ifis about people as human beings.' Time Warner Cable was extremely proud [of the exhibit]." Austinite Anthony Ortega echoed Olmos' political message as he stood in the long line to buy the Americanos book. "It literally happens every day, what you see in these photos," he said. "Walk into East Austin, and [you will] see what happens in these photos in real life."

Bastian plays hooky in the attic of his school to try to find out why this story is so different from all the rest. As Bastian reads, we are introduced to Fantasia: a land full of giant racing snails, furry luck dragons and gargan­ tuan rock biters. 1 his amazing world is slowly being consumed by a terrible black storm spreading through the land like cancer, leaving absolute noth­ ingness in its wake. The empress — the only one with the power to stop it — is deathly ill, and the warrior-child named Atreyu (Noah Hathaway) is given the seemingly impossible task of finding the cure for her illness. Atreyu travels far and wide and seeks guidance from many who can­ not help Him. We root for our hero while we watch fate put his endurance and determination to the ultimate test. This story-within-a-story unfolds as the two separate plots become increas­ ingly and eerily intertwined. The wall between the wor ld of fiction and reali­ ty begins to break down right before Bastian's eyes, and soon, he realizes the only one who can save the empress is himself, the reader. Not to be confused with its far infe­ rior sequels, The Neverending Story emphasizes the importance of the human imagination. When mankind gets too wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of the modem age and ceases to the parallel universe of dream, Fantasia will fade violently from exis­ tence. And no self-respecting child wants to see Fantasia destroyed. Wolfgang Petersen has since direct­ ed several American blockbusters, such as In the Line o f Fire and Air Force One, but never one so loved by chil­ dren as The Neverending Story. And, as with other movies from the '80s, like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Flight o f the Navigator, it will always be associated with more innocent and carefree days by those of us who saw it when we were young. Editor's Note: We don't know you. You don 7 know us. So in order for you to better understand your Daily Texan film critics, we have begun a weekly Video Obsession column. It is pure guilt and pleasure — together, at last, for you. By Brent Finnegan Daily Texan Staff A decade before my generation watched Marvin get his braias srnat- tered all over the back seat of the car in Pulp Fiction, and long before the ultra- violent postmodernist films of the late '90s, G erm an filmmaker W olfgang Petersen gave us American kids som e­ thing fun to dream about. An instant schoolyard classic in the early '80s, The Neverending Story still hasn't lost any of its magic as far as I'm concerned. Bastían (Barret Oliver) is a young boy with his head floating high in the clouds. 1 le chooses to read classic fic­ tion novels and draw unicorns during class rather than focus on his math. One day, while being chased by a b u l l y squadron from school, he seeks refuge in a dusty bookstore, where he bor- REGAL CINEMAS N O O U T S ID E FO O D , BEVERAGES, P A C K A G E S O R B A C K P A C K S PERMITTED IN THEATRE C H A R G E TICK ETS BY PHONE 1-800-555-TE LL (and say "MOVIES") D a ily B a rg a in M atin e e s in ( ) W e d n e s d a y -D is c o u n t S h o w s All Day e xclu d in g ✓ F¡|m s M E T R O P O L IT A N 1 4 I-35 S.

A p r il 1. 2 0 0 2 O n ly By Kimberly Wied Daily Texan Staff Appreciating the simple things in life sometimes requires a conscious effort — especially for those of us who mastered hand-eye coordination by playing video games or feel a numb­ ing sensation when trying to conceive of daily existence without the Internet. But in the case of a farmer strug­ gling through 1950s Sweden in Colin Nutley's Under the Sun, life is so sim­ ple, lonely and unvaried that the accu­ mulated need for a dramatic change spurs him to set out and procure the thing he desires most; a wife. UNDER THE SUN starring Rolf Lassgard d ire cted by Colin Nutley ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ In a typical tale of the feeble affairs of the heart, Under the Sun relies on melodrama to nearly force emotion down the throats of audience mem­ bers as the camera obsesses over quiv­ ering facial features, stammering, breathless pauses and over-elaborated plot details. Yet the saving grace of Under the Sun lies not in its flimsy attempt to portray a budding passion between two very unlikely lovers, but rather in astute character development that lures the audience into caring about the fate that awaits them. Olof (Rolf Lassgard), a meek, even- tempered hulk of a Swedish farmer, lives alone in a rackety old farmhouse his mother left to him when she died nine years before. His main compan­ ion is Ozzi, a scraggly but sweet mon­ grel who accompanies him every­ where. Olof's only human visitor is Erik (Johan Widerburg), a swaggering 27-year-old who sports his red-blond hair slicked back like Elvis and can't carry a conversation without alluding to his past sexual escapades with women in countries near and far. Erik idolizes American movie stars, dresses like James Dean and squeezes money out of a naive Olof to use in betting at the horse races in between running errands for him. Amazingly, Olof is still a Virgin at 40 and thinks his only remaining option for finally meeting a woman is to place a personal ad in the local newspaper. Enduring the agonizing embarrass­ ment this causes him, added to his obvious inability to read or write, Olof despairingly stumbles over the word­ ing of his ad and eventually settles on the pretense of seeking a "young lady housekeeper." He quietly shows his transparent intention by requesting the derk to end vyith "photograph appreciated," a muted, red tint creep­ ing up his neck all the while. Though he only receives a whopping two responses, the one with a picture of elegantly beautiful, richly attired Ellen (Helena Bergstrom) immediately jerks a startled, inaudible gasp out of Olof; she may as well consider herself hired on the spot. Into the rural world of chamber pots and farm animals enters the dainty, cherry slightly red-nailed Ellen, unsteady in her high heels and gra- O u r f ir f s 7i Je a r V o/filing 6 ut a S m ife X T C ( ) a b a r e i A u s t i n , T e x a s 3501 Andtree, Austin, Texas 512.929.3558 $5.00 Off Cover with student ID* Lunch Specials M -F lla m - 2 p m $10.00 dances on Tuesday and Sundays All Nude Oil Wrestling Wednesday Nights at Midnight Open Fridays and Saturdays Untill 5am BYOB Two for One Dances Mon-Sat llam -2pm ______________ I I V I A X T H E A T R E lh< n„h .a \1 I K /, / s \ < oimn ss \ w it,.u>.} Mu~, u,n I S I 3 I •> W, I \| \ \ Mon - Thurs 1 0 , 11am, 1 2 , 1,3 ,5 ,7p m xM im ivM r fU lM irt DOLPHINS Friday Saturday 10,11 am, 12, 1,3,5,7,9 pm 10 a m , 12,1, 3, 5,7,9 pm Sunday 1, 3, 5 , 7 pm CYBCRWORLD 30 Presented locally by: Applied Materials® Mon — Thurs 2 ,4 , 6, 8 pm Friday 2,4, 6 , 8 , 10p m Saturday Sunday 11 a m , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 1 0 p m 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 pm cious skirt-suit complete with match­ ing gloves. She's almost too good to be true, and is so complacent and unde­ manding in her duties of restoring Olof's household from a state of bach­ elor decrepitude to a pristine sparkle of furniture that her background, unrevealed to a deluded and love-bit­ ten Olof, becomes a source of audience curiosity and intrigue. But she is so gentle and patient with Olof, who is visibly skittish and squirms like an* infatuated 12-year-old in the mere presence of a female, that the possibil­ ity of a future sexual relationship between the two develops a tension that is soon catapulted to center stage. Erik, "world-wise" scoundrel that he is, becomes immediately suspicious of Ellen's intentions, due in no small part to her taking the reigns in moni­ toring Olof's finances. He recognizes that this gracious, mysterious woman may be hiding some little black secret under her attractive veneer. And after having his continuous barrage of sex­ ual advances obstinately refused by Ellen, Erik makes it his personal mis­ sion to discover her true identity and rob Olof of his enviable happiness. Based on H.E. Bates' short story, "The Little Farm," Under the Sun's breathtaking, luscious scenery of the sun-kissed countryside of Sweden is so exquisitely captured by Jens Fischer that you can practically smell the sweet aroma of wild flowers mingled with the sharp scent of green grass saturating the air. Olof's little slice of summery heaven seems a world away from modem hassles. However, the director's stubborn insistence on cut­ ting away to views of airplanes or birds soaring high above the charac­ ters' heads every 20 minutes results more in audience annoyance than in inspiring them to think about the sim­ plicity of such a love story. With an over-long running time, exaggerated emotional turmoil and lengthy concentration on scenes that become boring and repetitive, Under the Sun may not be the ideal choice of entertainment for everyone. It takes a certain amount of patience to stick with the film's slow pace and relative lack of action. But the kind-hearted message of the film is well worth the wait: Even though two people may be separated by the "rules" imposed on them by class and society, love has the oddest ability to find them in the most unlike­ ly of situations.
