ASSOCIATED PRESS Clinton: End TV liquor ads Associated Press W ASHINGTON — President C linton, w ho scored political points in taking on the tobacco indu stry , targeted liquor dis­ tillers' TV ads Tuesday. "Liquor has no business w ith kids," he said. But even as Clinton argued he w as protecting children a n d helping parents, he struggled to explain why his m ove against liquor ads — w hich stopped just short of recom m ending a reg­ ulatory ban — did not touch the far m ore pervasive television advertising for beer or wine. He acknow ledged that his aim, for now , is a return to the sta­ tus quo last fall — before distillers lifted their 50-year, self- im posed ban on radio and TV ads. "I think we ought to start w ith the principle of no backslid­ in g " Clinton said in outlining his request that the Federal Com­ m unications C om m ission stu d y the im pact of lifting the b a n and make recom m endations for possible federal action. Distillers voted in N ovem ber to end the ban after Seagram 's ran a limited num ber of ads in Texas. Ever since, FCC C hairm an Reed H u n d t has sought an official inquiry, but the com m ission rem ained deadlocked 2-2 on th e question. While saying he hoped the industry w ould agree voluntarily to stay off the airwaves, Clinton said that if the agency finds liquor ads harmful to youngsters, "I think the FCC has grounds to act." But distillers were quick to cry hypocrisy Tuesday. And some g roups denounced any distinction betw een h ard liquor's harm and the dangers of beer drinking. E lizab eth B oard, sp o k e sw o m a n fo r th e D istille d S p irits Council of the U nited States, noted that the m ajor national net­ works still refuse to ru n liquor ads and only 50 of some 1,000 cable stations have accepted ads since Novem ber. By contrast, she said, beer com m ercials saturate the airw aves — $2.5 billion w orth since Clinton took office.

C om piled from A ssociated Press reports 4 T h e D a ily T e x a n WEDNESDAY, APML 2,1897 EDITORIALS Control strengthens students’ ties with ‘The Texan’ I forin t, coaHdeatial help L 21 lioan a day CALL ~ S r , u [ Telephone I Counseling □on 77ie Daily Texan's elected editor should have editorial control over both the news and editorial sections. Forget tradition — the important consideration is The Texan's finan­ cial and political relationship with University students. The Texan is our student newspa­ per. By accepting student fees, we tacitly agree to serve you. If students stage a protest, The Texan should be there. If students care about an issue, The Texan should care. There can be no debate about this. The Texan is your paper. If you feel an issue is important, it is newsworthy for this paper, even though it might not be newsworthy for any other paper in H unter Stan co TEXAN COLUMNIST the nation. It follows, then, that we should maintain the power structure which best serves you. If an elected editor can make news decisions that better represent the student body, she should have that power. The editor interacts with student leaders every day. The managing editor lives in the basement — she's lucky to see sunlight, much less interact with students. The distinction between the man­ aging editor and the elected editor really surfaces here. The editor might put something on the front page because she knows it's impor­ tant to the students. The managing editor might not run that story at all; she might not know what the stu­ dents want and might not care — she is appointed. Unless it runs sto­ ries that are important to students, The Texan fails to represent you, fail­ ing to provide what you pay for. On a more political note, propo­ nents of the changes assert that edi­ tors of professional papers are not elected. That is not entirely true. They may not be subject to an elec­ tion, but their jobs are highly depen­ dent on public approval. If no one likes the paper, no one buys the paper and the editor loses his job. But The Texan is "free." So, this structure simply does not exist. We have to come up with another to ensure the students are satisfied. The simple answer: We elect an editor and give her editorial control. An appointed editor answers to no one. If people only read the comics, it's no big deal. She quits a semester later and puts the job on his the paper resume. Meanwhile, sucks, and you're dissatisfied with the way your student fees are spent. An elected editor, on the other hand, will be chastised, asked to resign and accountable to you for the qual­ ity of this publication. In this sense, The Texan is similar to the federal government. You pay fees and therefore expect something in return. But it is not like buying a paper, since you have to pay even if you don't want to. This situation cre­ ates a big problem — accountability. Our government maintains intricate checks and balances and gives elect­ the ed, not appointed, officials majority of governmental power. You would be enraged if final power to declare war were given to a general instead of the president. Why? Because you cannot fire the general; he is not accountable to you. The relationship between the man­ aging editor and the elected editor is the same. Even though the manag­ ing editor m ay have more news experience, just as a general may have more military experience, the elected editor should have control because you are his boss. Tara Copp proposed a check on the editor's power. With a 2 /3 vote of permanent staff members, the managing editor could overrule the editor. This system is similar to the legislature's ability to override a veto. The TSP Board voted this pro­ posal down. You should consider the implica tions of giving the appointed man- aging editor control. It will weaken your influence on The Texan — it matters to you. Stanco is an economics senior. Gangsta rap must chill or be chilled Rap is becoming a blemished art, dragged down from the popular hip- hop trend by violence. While rap' lyrics have always spoken of street violence, the bloodshed has spilled into the industry itself. Now, the gangsta rap world faces the possibili­ ty of vendetta killings. The recent death of the Notorious B.I.G., a popular East Coast rapper, has some in the industry scared a feud between East Coast and West Coast rappers will turn musicians into bloody targets of drive-by shoot­ ings. The nature of the feud, and per­ haps the culture itself, is such that the violence will not stop anytime soon. Like the feuding Hatfields and McCoys, two families of rappers have been sniping at each other for years — with taunting lyrics and, occasionally, bullets. While there are overarching ten­ sions between the older, East Coast establishment and the brash upstarts from California, the main conflict is between Death Row Records of Los Angeles and New York-based Bad Boy Entertainment. Like Mafia families, these record companies jealously protect their turf and make it difficult for rappers to leave. Even rap superstar Dr. Dre had a tough time leaving Death Row due to company owner "Suge" Knight's strong-arm tactics. Rappers for the two rival record companies, Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G., escalated the ten­ sion by publicly mocking one anoth­ er. Now, both are dead. Drew H arris TEXAN COLUMNIST Meanwhile, posthumous the releases of Shakur and his East Coast adversary's albums have sold incred­ ibly well. Rap magazines like The Source and Vibe have capitalized on this publicity, fueling the rivalry's dangerous flames. Record executives are now more willing than ever to deal with people of questionable background and watch greedily while profits increase in direct pro­ portion to the body count. While this market is not directly responsible for the rappers' deaths, it caters to the creates vendetta mentality killings. that Gangsta rap's roots are in street violence; rappers like Shakur became popular by "keeping it real." In the rap culture, this means dodging bul­ lets while rapping about sex with a rival's wife. However, this might also mean avenging the murder of "fami­ ly" members. It would not be surpris­ ing if other rappers join the fray, both verbally and through violent means. Some say such violence and feud­ ing is just hype, necessary for gangsta rap's image. However, the culture of street violence is inevitably self­ destructive. As these two "recent killings remind us, the genre will have to pacify or perish. Harris is a Plan II sophomore. Mainstream media shouldn’t blame religion and the Internet Christians worldwide celebrated our holi­ est week against the backdrop of the Heav­ en's Gate cult suicides in California and an unseemly attack upon our faith by the seem­ ingly hellbent secular media. Of course, neither Christianity nor the Internet had anything to do with the pro­ found human tragedy in San Diego. But it's becoming part of our national culture of denial to impulsively blame others when we see symptoms of spiritual decay. America's churches — which donate self­ lessly to make this a better place to live — are increasingly becoming our society's safety net, as the government gradually abandons its commitment to the poor and the weak. Thus, churches are a national asset. But leave it to the sun-baked Los Angeles Times to make the denialist's case. In an editorial, the Clayton Vernon TEXAN COLUMNIST In churches across America this Easter, our thoughts and prayers were not far from San Diego. Times appealed directly to the despondent to simply reach out their hands, assuring somebody would be there. But who? Senior executives at Times-Mir- ror? No, in America, that somebody is our churches on Sundays and, perhaps, Internet chat rooms weekdays. Occasional loneliness should be nothing to be ashamed of. After all, only on television and in the movies are all people beautiful and popular — rarely tired or hungry. Out of all of the cults' potential critics, TV journalists have no credibility to promote the leftist academic psychobabble emanating last week — specifically, equating one of the largest faiths in the world with the Heaven's Gate cult. Television has contributed to the dulling of our instinctive and collective compassion as much as, if not more than, any institution. Viewers are bombarded with the material virtues of profligacy and deviancy. Media tycoons value the common man only for his money. It s understandable that the television industry ridicules Christians and the Inter­ net. Many devout persons of faith reject the Hollywood version of an America as Sodom, and many thoughtful persons would prefer to get their news and information off the Web. In fact, the network nightly news rat­ ings have never been lower. These organiza­ tions are becoming irrelevant, and they know it. Christians have, in fact, almost always been a part of the solution and almost never a part of the problem. As for the Internet, the Web brings information into our homes and schools to help us attain our dreams. America's problem isn't that too many people go to church on Sundays, or that we are too highly informed or educated. To the contrary, our problems often involve the duplicity of those who negotiate in virtues for profit and who use the airwaves to spread their propaganda. Idiots like Ted Turner joked last week about the 39 "kooks" who committed sui­ cide. Turner, of course, made his every dime from dead Iraqis and the dead Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. For CNN to simultaneously ridicule and profit frohi the deaths of the Heaven's Gate cult members is equally as irresponsible. Meanwhile, in churches across America this Easter, our thoughts and prayers were not far from San Diego. Here in Austin, speaking at the University Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Sam Williams gave a pas­ sionate sermon, reminding us that those lost in cults fail to hear the trumpet of true Res­ urrection and eternal life. It is a remarkable testament to the ongoing battle between right and wrong that mes­ sages such as Williams' somehow threaten so many of our nation's cultural and academic elites.

Barranco Associate Editor Sarah Hepola Associate Editor Colby Black Associate Editor Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor or writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. Insufficient evidence I am writing to criticize the Hop- wood plaintiffs and their damage claims totaling $5.5 million for, among other things, "substantial personal insult" and the income they lost from not being lawyers. The plaintiffs base their damages in part on what they claim is the average salary for a lawyer, $53,000 a year. Well, I have got news for them. At least one-half of the grad­ uates from UT Law are not going to make that much their first year out. A lot are still scrambling for jobs in the still-tight legal market. Not everyone gets a high-paying job, and, frankly, the Hopwood plain­ tiffs are applying a "substantial per­ sonal insult" to the half of UT Law's student body who will not make over $53K. They haven't faced the tough grade curve (roughly 25 percent A's, 50 percent B's, 25 percent C's) in a school full of brilliant, driven people that determines who gets the first shot at those jobs making over $53K. They haven't incurred a substantial amount of federal edu­ cational loan debt (which can easily approach the $53K range) to pay for law school. They haven't studied for five comprehensive exams over roughly 15 days that determine your grades in courses that could have lasted all school year. They don't know law school pressure. Especially managing a "Relax the Back" store as David Rodgers, one of the plaintiffs who likes to shoot his mouth off, does. David Rodgers, Hopwood plain­ tiff, says in The Dallas Morning News (Tuesday, page 19A), "W e (refer­ ring to the plaintiffs in Hopwood) were damaged, and we have lost years of our lives." Well, many law students would claim the same. He also complains (page 17A), "the average lawyer makes $53,000 and I haven't cracked 26 yet." Boo-hoo. At least he is turning a profit. I in no way hold against the plaintiffs their right to make a legal claim; I myself am wary of affirma­ tive action. But it is absurd for tax­ payer money to be used to compen­ sate these plaintiffs for not getting to be an attorney when we have no indication as to how good an attor­ ney or law student they would have been. Some damages may be appro­ priate, but $5.5 million is not. Law school is a demanding yet rewarding experience. It requires sacrifice and hard work. If the Hop­ wood plaintiffs are in fact rewarded damages, they should be adjusted to account for the sacrifices, both financial and mental, a law student makes to gain a law degree at UT Law. Andrew Piel Third-year law student Patently vicious In response to the editorial "Wel­ fare program scapegoats poor" (3 /1 ), I could easily counter many of Miss Triece's claims concerning unemployment (mass unemploy­ ment is created by such govern­ mental interference in the labor market as "pro-labor" legislation and minimum wage laws), falling wages (she undoubtedly forgot about rising employee benefits such as employer-provided medical insurance), the arbitrary way in which the term poverty can be used (by what standard is someone determined to be impoverished?), the fact that legislators such as Republican John Kaisich are push­ ing for the elimination of corporate welfare (i.e., subsidies to business) as well, and the fact that the bank­ ing and telephone industries, where a lot of corporate down-sizing is occurring, were granted virtual monopoly power by the govern­ ment for the past 50 to 100 years (monopolies are notorious for creat­ ing inefficiency, such as unneces­ sary jobs). But all of that is inconsequential in comparison to the total lack of morality exhibited by Triece's edi­ torial. Triece seems to be living under the delusion that "need" con­ stitutes a claim on the lives of oth­ ers and that government should use physical force or the threat of it against some for the alleged benefi* of others. I categorically reject such a notion as patently vicious. Make no doubt about it, advocates of the welfare state are advocates of slav­ ery, which is work done for the coerced benefit of others. Voluntar­ ily giving to the poor (by the way, Americans voluntarily give more to the poor than any other nation) when one can afford it is certainly one's prerogative; but I would appreciate it if Triece and other totalitarians would not come look­ ing to enslave me for even one sec­ ond of my life. Now it should be clear that, rather than going to far, Congress has not gone far enough in eliminating welfare. Dean Cook Economics Senior Inadmissable Hopwood and Carvell were "emotionally dam aged" simply from being turned down by the UT Law School? Considering the rigor of the program — late nights, intense demanding professors, schedules — emotional fragility is clearly an impediment. (And I'm not even a big fan of law schools or lawyers — or tort cases, for that m atter.) Clearly, they were not viable candidates for the school, bolstering Professor Wellborn's assertion that they would not have been admitted even if race had not been a factor. Matt Beyers M aster’s candidate, Institute o f Latin American Studies and Community and Regional Planning Back it up Ben Bateman ("Back for more," 3 /2 /9 7 ), takes issue with Roahn Wynar's assertions that chiropractic medicine is "evidence-free." He goes on to say that, in a study on 1,500 patients being treated for back pain, those who were treated bv chiropractors were most satisfied. Mr. Bateman, no one is denying that seeing a chiropractor may help with your back pain. Everyone likes a good back rub. What the scientific community questions is the reasons put forth by chiropractors for their supposed success. It is palpably untrue that chiropractors realign the vertebrae. Their assertions of curing other illnesses by manipulat­ ing bones of the spine are demon­ strably false. Until they are able to come up with the real reasons that patients feel relief from their treat­ ment, scientists will treat them with the disdain they deserve.

MICHELLE HILLEN________________ Daily Texan Staff Love, desire and the evolutionary processes behind human emotions are a few of the topics a University professor will discuss on Straight Talk with Derek McGinty, a Public Broadcasting Service panel show in its second season. David Buss, a professor of evolutionary psy­ ch o log y , re cen tly tap ed an ep iso d e on The Chemistry o f Love. The program will be aired at 10 p.m. Monday. Buss used data from his recent book, The Evolution o f Desire, to field questions about the scientific basis of love. Pinpointing the evolutionary basis of love as the m o st im p o rtan t to p ic d iscu ssed on the show, Buss said mating adaptations strongly affect m ale and female perspectives on com ­ mitment in relationships. "Evolution is always going to play a part," Buss said. "People like to believe that you can som eh ow ch an ge so ciety w ith the flip of a switch, but desire is a very difficult thing to sw itch." Buss said after collecting data from 37 differ­ ent cultures for his book, one of the most sur­ prising things he found was a "universal stan­ dard of attraction." Some other findings Buss discussed on the show were different types of sperm and how they have affected mating strategies, desire as the foundation of the mating system and the universal tendency of financially stable women to desire financially stable men. "W om en want a guy who has the ability and w illingness to invest in them selves and their children," Buss said.

Laurie Fry, publicist for WETA, the produc­ tion com pany w hich produces the show for PBS, said panelists w ere chosen because the host and producers w ere fam iliar with Buss' work. "Basically they were looking for know ledge­ able people in the field and a mix of expertise," Fry said. "B u ss' field gave them a d ifferen t spin on the topic." D erek M cG inty, the show 's host, said the panelists did a good job of discussing different issues. "I thought th e^ seem ed to do very w ell," M cG inty said. "There were some interesting disagreements between Heimal and Buss, but I thought [Buss] held his own very well. They all had a different view, but they all had som e­ thing to contribute." McGinty said he hoped the show provided a balance of entertainment and information with the balance of expertise. "T h e q u e stio n is w h e th e r w e p ro v id e d enough su bstance," M cGinty said. "Y o u are always trying to walk the balance of having a good time and adding some substance.

David Swin- ford , R -D um as, w ould eliminate state funding for sem ester cred it h ou rs earned by a Texas resident undergradu­ ate who has acquired m ore than 170 credit hours without obtaining a degree. Individual in stitu tio n s could also decide to raise tuition fees for such students as long as they do not exceed the rates charged to nonresident stu­ dents, Swinford said. These long-term students take up valuable space at universities, making freshman adm issions difficult, Sw in­ ford said . "T h e b ill sav es the state money and rewards those who come in and get out in a hurry." Students who complete their degree program within six credit hours of the program's requirement would receive a $1,000 tuition rebate when they graduate. "W e have these 'p rofession al stu­ dents' who deny space to other stu­ dents com ing in, especially at m ajor universities," Swinford said. "The bill is set up to save the state money and rew ard stu d en ts that p ro g ress at a reasonable rate." Currently, the state will continue to p rovide fu n d in g to in stitu tio n s for continuing students regardless of how long they are in school. The bill was proposed in response to S ta te C o m p tro lle r Jo h n S h a rp 's Decem ber proposal to decrease state expenditures for undergraduates with more than 170 sem ester credit hours, Swinford said. Sharp's proposal was a part of his o ffice's P erform ance Review Report titled Disturbing the Peace, a set of rec­ ommendations to cut the state budget by more than $1.2 billion. According to Sharp's survey, Swin­ ford said, more than 17,000 of an esti­ mated 96,000 seniors at Texas public institutions of higher education have more than 170 hours credit. Students think they pay for the cost of their education themselves, Sw in­ ford said. But in reality, he said, they pay only 25 percent of the total cost and the rest comes from taxpayers. Swinford said if his "money-saving, pro-active, encouraging bill" becomes law, the state would save an estimated $4.5 m illion every fiscal year starting in 2000. E x c e p tio n s to the b ill in c lu d e sem ester credit hours a student has earned before receiving a previously aw ard ed d eg ree , h o u rs earn ed by examination in which credit is earned w ith o u t re g is te r in g fo r a co u rs e requiring tuition, and hours earned in remedial courses not counting toward a student's degree program. Sw inford said his bill w ould also lim it u n d e rg r a d u a te c r e d it h o u r re q u irem e n ts to 120 h o u rs for any given degree program . If an institu ­ tion offers a degree program requir­ ing more than 120 hours credit, that b o d y m u st go to the c o o rd in a tin g b o ard an d e x p la in w h y the m ajo r should require more hours. If passed, the bill would take effect in fall 1997. Terry Flack, director of governmen­ tal relations of the Higher Education C o o rd in atin g Board , said d elayin g im plem entation of the tuition rebate would save the state more money. But Sw inford believes it would be smarter to start the program as early as possible and "g et the ball rolling."

How about a proposal by universi­ ties to prod uce m ore college graduates? Should state gov­ ernment em ployees get a pay raise? T h o se q u e stio n s w ere le ft u nan sw ered T u esd ay as the Texas Senate approved a pro­ posed $83.3-billiom "bare-bones” budget to fund education, prisons, welfare and other governm ent program s from Sept. 1, 1997, through Aug. 31,1999. The vote was 30-0. The reading, higher education and pay- raise proposals are among items on a sepa­ rate $5.5-billion wish list that law m akers will pay for if money is available. The House earlier passed its own budget, which has a bottom line almost identical to th at o f the S e n ate and also in clu d es an unfunded wish list. W hat items get financed from that list will be determined by a budget conference com­ m ittee com posed of law m akers from the House and Senate. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Bill Ratliff, R-M ount Pleasant, said only up to $600 million in state general revenue money may be available for wish-list proposals. B u d g et w riters h av e left on the table another $1 billion that Gov. George W. Bush has proposed using for property tax relief. Lawmakers are working on a separate tax- relief proposal. "Y o u can see that the conference commit­ tee h as a fo rm id ab le, form id able task if what we're talking about is $600 million in av a ila b le gen eral re v e n u e ," R atliff said . "C onference committee is going to be a very agonizing, priority-setting process." The proposed $83.3 billion budget for fis­ cal years 1998-99 represents an increase in total state funding of $2.6 billion, or 3.3 per­ cent from the p rev io u s tw o-year bu dget period. It covers expenses for increasing school e n ro llm e n t and p ro v id e s for grow th in criminal justice and welfare programs while holding spending below projected inflation, said Lt. Gov. Bob B u llock, w ho presid es over the Senate. "T h e budget keeps the scales balanced betw een the state's m ost critical services and the taxpayers' demand for leaner gov­ ernm ent," Bullock said. "A nd it focuses on the idea that the state's job begin s in the classroom ." E d ucation -related program s w ould get about $1.7 billion in additional funds under the proposal, including more than $1 billion to pay for an estimated 141,000 new public school students. The Senate m easure also would change the way universities are funded, in part to encourage the teaching of undergraduate courses by professors instead of less experi­ enced instructors. Currently, a dozen funding formulas are used in appropriating funds to universities. Four separate formulas are used to pay for facilities operations and maintenance. T h e S e n a te p ro p o sal, d ev e lo p e d w ith input from university officials, would reduce the num ber of form ulas used and would gear them to promote certain priorities. For exam ple, R atliff said , a u niversity now loses money if it puts a professor in the classroom becau se fund ing form u las are based on an average salary of graduate stu­ dents and professors. The budget proposal would give universities a bonus if they have a professor teaching. In oth er areas, R atliff said a university that co n stru cts a new bu ild in g cu rren tly gets more funding than one that uses exist­ ing buildings more efficiently by scheduling more classes. Ratliff said he would prefer to give uni­ v e rs itie s a p a rtic u la r am o u n t of m on ey based on sem ester credit hours taught and on the building space that the state deter­ mines they're entitled to have. If they could teach classes u sing few er fa cilitie s, they could keep the extra money. The budget includes $25 million to ensure universities wouldn't lose money under the funding change.

H o u se B ill 2445 would give Capital Metro the ability to hold a public referendum on the Greenberg said the light rail bill would be an important piece of leg­ islation as Austin's traffic continues to worsen. "It is really growing to epidemic proportions," Greenberg said. "W e must have the public trust if we are going to move forward in address­ ing the traffic problems." G reenberg added that if the bill becomes law, it would ensure that debt would not be incurred for con­ stru ctio n of th e ligh t rail system until citizens are given the chance to vote on the proposal. Bruce Byron, director of govern­ m e n ta l re la tio n s for the G reater Austin Chamber of Commerce, said the credibility of Capital Metro has led him to believe that the commu­ nity must support any future action tak en by the tr a n s it a u th o rity regarding light rail.

The second bill, HB 2446, would allow Sh arp to con d u ct a p e rfo r­ mance audit of Capital Metro, a pro­ cedure he currently has no authority to carry out under state law, Green­ berg said.

He added that a separate audit done by Sh arp w ould w aste the transit authority's money. But Greenberg argued that Sharp would act as a crucial third party to the agency. "It is important to have an arm's length type of audit where perhaps it is not thought that Capital Metro is affecting the scope or objective," Greenberg said.

Last year Craig Wor- thington, starting for the injured Dean Palmer, hit a homer off Roger Clemens, and Ken Hill pitched effectively for a 5-3 victory. "This was like last year with Worthington hitting the homer off Clemens and Kenny winning," Texas manag­ er Johnny Oates said. "Lee stepped up for us today. We had to have somebody come off the bench." Stevens, who had three homers in 27 games last year, was starting because Clark fractured a finger chasing a pop-up Saturday. Rusty Greer and Palmer singled off Ben McDonald with two outs in the first and Stevens hit a 433-foot drive into the upper deck. "W ill's job is safe," Stevens said. "I w asn 't even sure I w as going to m ake the team. You have to m ake the m ost of your opportunities. I did m y job." Buford, filling the spot in center vacated w hen D arryl H am ilton signed w ith San Francisco, hom e- red off M cDonald in the sixth following a tw o-out single by W arren N ewson. Buford also doubled in a run in the fourth. "This is just a tribute to the depth of our ballclub," Buford said. "Only time will tell, but this is a good start. I don't know if this puts to rest the comparisons with Hamilton. They are going to be there all year."

From the hay barn-like a tm o s­ p h ere of the Travis C ounty E xposi­ tion C enter to the local g u ita rists w ho b u tch er the national anthem to the post-it-note inform ation sys­ tem in the press box, it's probably a safe bet that the D allas Stars w o n 't be m aking m any serio u s in q u iries about m oving to A ustin. But to the ticket-bu)ing public of the capital city, the Ice Bats are the only pro alternative there is. And surprisingly, thousands of Austin residents have genuinely embraced the W'PHL team despite its aesthetic shortcomings. If you can pardon the pun, the only way m any Bats' fans can be described is rabid. The Expo Center has been filled by as m any as 7,000 patrons during certain gam es in the team 's inaugural season, and the enthusiasm was still brim m ing on Tuesday night w hen A ustin w as elim inated from the playoffs by El Mike Finger TEXAN SPORTS COLUMMST Paso. And although the only experience most locals have had on the ice is try­ ing to keep their cars from sliding across Interstate 35 one day a year, it is apparent that the majority of the Bats' followers have developed an adequate understanding of the intricacies of hockey over the past few months. W hich isn 't to say that fans at the Expo C enter d o n 't still enjoy a good round of fisticuffs; it's just that they now take pleasure in goals just as m uch as black eyes. But even though the this area seems to be a bnm mm g sports market, the fact remains that Belton has as many pro­ fessional teams as Austin does.

He left that task to his teammates. Olajuwon. who averaged 43 points and 10 rebounds in the three previous games against the Nuggets, played only 26 minutes and sccwed 12 points. He wasn't missed, and neither were the injured Charles Barkley and Kevin Willis, as the Rockets cruised to a 116* 99 win Tuesday night Clyde Drexler scored 24 points cm 10-for-15 shooting as the Rockets post­ ed their fourth straight victory and remained tied with me Los Angeles Lakers few the third-best record in the Western Conference (49-231 just a half game behind second-place Seattle. Mario Elie and Matt Maloney each scored 19 points and Eddie Johnson had 17. The Rockets, who shot 54 percent, built a 19-point halftime lead and extended it to 29 in the third period. The Nuggets got no closer than 16 tíre rest of the way. "We really did shoot the ball well," Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich said. "Clyde was phenomenal, and we did­ n't have to extend his minutes." Drexler played only 27 minutes. Everybody played well,'' Tom- janovich added. "Mario was solid, Matt was shooting die ball well, Eddie Johnson has a knack for get­ ting the ball in the basket. "We gained a game on Seattie and are still holding off L.A. I could see it [playoff race] getting even more interesting." Drexler admitted he "had a hot hand. It was one of those nights. It was fantastic to gel a lot of rest. If we can get healthy, I like our chances." Antonio McDyess had 27 points and 10 rebounds for Denver, which shot 47 percent LaPhonso Ellis added 25. "We planned to trap down on Hakeem," McDyess said, "but they had so many open outside shots. Even their guys off the bench were hitting." The loss was the Nuggets' 25th at home this season, assuring them of the worst home record in franchise history. The 1990-91 team was 17-24 at home. Barkley missed his 14th straight game because of a lacerated and bruised left pelvis, and Willis was sidelined with a muscle strain in his right hip. Drexler hit seven of 10 shots and scored 15 points in the first half as the Rockets shot 56 percent in taking a 59-40 halftime lead. Denver, which shot only 33 per­ cent in the half, jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead while Houston was missing its first five shots. But the Rockets promptly hit eight of their next 11 and used a 19-5 run — capped by Drexler's fastbreak layup and 3-pointer — for a 10-point lead. After a jumper by McDyess cut the Rockets' lead to 38-33 midway through the second quarter, Hous­ ton had a 21-7 flurry fueled by Mal­ oney and Sedale Threatt to take its biggest lead of the half, 19 points, at the break. Drexler hit a pair of 3-pointers and Maloney a trey of his own as Hous­ ton expanded its lead in the third quarter. Othella Harrington's short jumper with 4:57 left in the quarter produced a 29-point advantage. To that point, the Rockets had hit 9-of- 12 field goals in the quarter.

A SSO C IA T E D P R E S S Mavs sputter vs. Pistons Assoc/a ted Press DALLAS — The Detroit Pistons have a number they can wear as a badge of honor — 50 victories. Two years ago, the Pistons were one of the NBA's bottom-feeders, limping to a 28-win season. But Detroit has managed to turn things around in a hurry. Grant Hill had 35 points and 18 rebounds, matching his career high in both categories, as the Pistons reached the 50-victory mark for the first time since 1990-91 with a 100-82 victory over Dallas Tuesday night. "What a fantastic achievement for this team to go from 28 wins to 50 wins in such a short period of time," Detroit coach Doug Collins said. "I can't tell you what a feeling it is for me and these guys, especially the guys who have been here through a lot of losses." It was an especially gratifying night for Hill, who added six assists, two blocks and two steals in the city where he was bom, in front of a crowd that included his father, Calvin, and his dad's former Dallas Cowboys team­ mate, Roger Staubach. "It was nice to have a good game with my father in the crowd," said Hill, who was bypassed by the Mavericks in the 1994 draft in favor of Jason Kidd. "I haven't played well here the last two years, and I just wanted to come out and play hard. Two years ago it felt impossible to get 50 wins. So it feels good to just improve and get the fran­ chise headed in the right direction." Joe Dumars scored eight of his 18 points during a decisive 17-2 sec­ ond-quarter run for the Pistons, who had dropped five of their previous seven games. Michael Finley and Robert Pack scored 15 points each for the Maver­ icks, whose losing streak was extended to a season-high eight games. Dallas' offensive ineptitude continued with the Mavericks fail­ ing to reach 90 points for the ninth time in their last 10 games. Dallas held a 34-33 lead with 5:27 left in the second quarter, but the Mavericks' offense ground to a halt from that point until late in the fourth quarter. Dumars gave Detroit a 36-34 lead with a three-point play, then added an 18-foot jumper on the Pistons' next possession for a 38-34 advantage. Dumars contributed a 3-pointer later in the run as Detroit surged to a 50-36 halftime edge. Dallas was outscored 23-10 in the second quarter. "We broke it open there in the sec­ ond quarter," Collins said. "We were really active. Our energy level was as high as it's been in a while." the third quarter with a 19-6 spurt to increase their lead to 69-44. The Pistons opened Dallas pulled to 92-82 with 1:38 to play behind an energetic performance by their reserves, but that was as close as the Mavericks could come. "I was looking for some energy out there," Cleamons said. "We are a tired bunch of basketball players. When you're down like that, you're trying to grasp for straws. You don't quit. You scratch, you kick, you claw." ■ Notes: Calvin Hill said after the game he is close to accepting a front- office job with the Cowboys. "We still have to dot some i's and cross some Fs, so as they say in Washington, 'I'll nei­ ther confirm nor deny,"' said Hill, who has previously discussed a job with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Jones is trying to clean up the Cowboys' image, and Hill would bring a spotless reputation to the franchise. o TFf Live in New York City This Summer NYU Summer Housing May i8—August 9,1997 Living in an NYU residence hall offers a safe and convenient home base while you are working, taking classes, or doing an internship. • Minutes from NewYork** business and cultural centers. • Apartment-style and traditional residences; single and double occupancy. • Outstanding sports-recreation facility. • Over 1,000 day and evening courses. • Apply early to secure a space.

UT hosts Texas Relays Ti border states." MIKE WILSON_____________ Daily Texan Staff The 70th annual Texas Relays kicks off this week and is set to bring with it a nine-time gold medal w in­ ning track superstar, the top three women's teams in the nation and, above all else, a shot at redemption for the Lady Longhorns. The Texas w om en's track and field team, currently ranked first in the nation according to Track and Field News, will have its first major out­ door competition of the season in the Texas Relays, and will host none other than the team that burst the Longhorn's indoor cham pionship hopes: Louisiana State. ''We're really psyched going into this meet," sophomore long jumper Kim McGruder said. "The w ay that w e have been training, we know that w e can compete and dominate." Texas w as favored to w in last month's indoor championship but was upset by the second-ranked LSU Tigers. The team will have that upset on their m inds when they meet the Tigers once again at the Relays. "Nationals didn't go the w ay we planned, so now we're going to Texas Continued from page 7 flied out to third to end the game. Harkrider, w ithout hesitation, headed straight for the locker room while Texas head coach Augie Garri­ do sat motionless in his dugout chair in disbelief as DBU passed around congratulatory high-fives. "He overreacts," Garrido said. "That's what the others are doing, too." Harkrider, who is batting .402, has been at the plate more than his fair share of times recently w ith the game on the line. But just like his burnt orange counterparts, Garrido feels that his players either get ner­ vous or simply cold feet when run­ ners are in scoring position. "The biggest issue during this whole run of things has been the inability for our hitters to hit the ball, take quality at-bats and hit the ball with runners in scoring posi­ tion," Garrido said. "Their at-bats changed with runners in scoring position. I don't know why. I'm just telling you what I see." Everyone in the Texas dugout had his chance. Walsh, UT center fielder Brett Loeffler and right fielder Mark Cridland all went 2-for-5 and com­ bined for four RBIs. Batting at the No. 5 slot, Texas third baseman David Johnson batted 3-for-4 with two RBIs. But after that, the Longhorns bat­ ted a combined .186 in the No. 6 through No. 9 positions. In the other dugout, scattered the Patriots around 11 hits to six different play­ ers. The decisive run was a towering homer by DBU right fielder Cade Griffis, who finished 2-for-5 with three RBIs. Texas' biggest chance to regain con­ trol of the game and take a command­ ing lead came in the fifth. With the bases loaded and one out, catcher Seth Spiker struck out and second baseman Camilo Gutierrez grounded back to the pitcher to help DBU's Ryan Nativi­ dad escape the inning unharmed after being very wild and erratic. The Longhorns also left the bases loaded in the eighth. This time, des­ ignated hitter Brock Rumfield struck out, and first baseman Charley Carter flied out to end the rally. come out in full force," McGruder said. "As far as LSU is concerned, they had better be ready because we're going to be. We really like the level of competition at the Relays. In order for us to be successful, every­ body has to step up and get the job done." The Relays will host the top three w om en's teams in the nation in Texas, LSU and Southern Methodist. Because of this powerful lineup, many say that the Relays will be a preview for the NCAA Champi­ onships. Making another appearance at the Relays is one of the greatest athletes in track and field history, Carl Lewis. Lewis won a gold medal in the long jump at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta last year and the 100-meter invitational at last year's Relays. Lewis beat out fellow Olympian Jon Drum­ mond in the sprint by .01 second. "This will be a great chance for us to compete against athletes from across the world," sophomore dis­ cus thrower Gabriel Baldwin said. "We're normally used to dealing with athletes from Texas and our "The real difference in this ball game was that we were unable to hit the ball with runners in scoring position," Gar­ rido said. "Our at-bats changed, and we just didn't hit the ball — period." On the bright side, Johnson has been a textbook example of a person who doesn't allow nis defensive miscues to carry over to the pi ate. In the past two games, Johnson has committed five errors at third while batting a team-leading .426. "One problem leads to another," Garrido said. "What we want to do is try to help them get that out of their mind, but my opinion is that when something goes wrong, it stays with them and it has a negative effect on them. It continues to grow, and it con­ tinues to develop in a negative way." ■ The Longhorns continue their Big 12 schedule with a three-game series against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., this weekend.

M esa, 30, sat quietly as the w om an sobbed during her testimony. "H e cam e up to m e and kept grabbing m e," the w om an said. "H e grab bed m y b rea sts. He k ep t putting his hand around my w aist and kept trying to kiss m e." The w om an, w ho had been out cel­ ebrating her birthday with friends, testified that she called Mesa on his cellular phone and arranged a m eet­ ing Dec. 21. The w om an said she and her friends drank and talked with Mesa and several friends, including his brother M anuel and team m ate M anny Ramirez. She testified that Mesa lured her girlfriend ou tsid e the bar by placing her purse around his neck. Assistant prosecutor Mike Nolan argued in opening statements that Mesa forced his hand into the friend's pants during the drive to the motel. "Jo se M esa restrained her of her liberty, u n zip p ed her pants and inserted his hand w hile forcing her b a ck ," N olan said. Cuyahoga C ounty Ju d ge Thom as Curran allow ed the w itness to testi­ fy ab ou t her frie n d 's d em ean o r when they arrived at the motel. "S h e w as s c a re d ," the w om an said. " I t w as strange. She d id n 't respond to anyth in g. She looked like she w as in som e type of tran ce." The w om an testified that she and her friend entered a motel room rent­ ed by M esa's friends to use the bath­ room. She said Mesa forced the door open, hitting her in the mouth with the doorknob, causing her to bleed. She testified that Mesa fondled both women while in the motel room. D efense law yer G erald M esser- man said in op ening argum ents that Mesa received a call from his w ife shortly after arriving at the m otel and w ent hom e. "M r. M esa engaged in no sexual a ctiv ity or c o n ta c t," M esserm an said . " H e w as d riv in g a G M C Jimmy, a truck-like vehicle. W hen they stopped, he engaged in no sex ­ ual activity. W hen they got to the m otel, he en gaged in no sexu al activity." C urran sent the jury hom e after a break in M esserm an's cross-exam i­ nation. The ju d ge then agreed to allow M esserm an to question the w om an W ednesday about how she alleged­ ly em p tied a c o -w o rk e r's b an k account, then lied about it before signing a written adm ission. Prosecutors did not object. "It's relevant becau se she's a liar," M esserm an said. C urran ruled that defense law yers w ill n ot be allow ed to ask the w om an qu estions about w h ether she legally receives w elfare and food stam ps. th e p resen ce o f The ju d ge said he would allow law yers to question the w itness o u t­ the sid e ju ry W ednesd ay on a third m atter. M esserm an said the w om an falsely accused a police officer o f assault in Ju ly 1996. Curran said he will decide w hether the m atter m ay be pursued in open court. One cam era is in the courtroom , but w itnesses w ho request privacy cannot be filmed or photographed, according to an order issued by C u r­ ran. M esa, a native of the Dom inican Republic who is not a U.S. citizen, is charged with rape under an O hio law that expands the definition to include penetration other than inter­ course. He also is charged with tw o counts o f gross sexual im position, felonious assault and theft.

Living Dub Volume 3's 13 instrumental cuts offer up the band and little else. With Spear's vocals largely dropped out of the mix, the band's smooth-as-silk rhythm section comes to the fore. Paul Beckford and Nelson Miller (bass) (drums) lay down a framework upon which deep horn lines and vocal selections are draped. Despite the album's obvious lack of vocals, Spear makes his presence known by producing the dubs, taken from his last Heartbeat releases.

The isolation of being down there at the bottom of the world has maybe affected the music. Bands like die 3Ds, David Kilgore and the Dead C, they weren't really expect­ ing, I don't think, to get much beyond their own frontiers. The fact that people are now able to get out a bit and maybe travel overseas and export their records with a better chance of selling them — now — than they used to have, that helps the situation a bit. It's definitely changed from maybe ten years ago. Now* New’ Zealand is recognized as at least being a place with music worth hearing.

However, they must be careful what they ask for — they just might get what they want. While eating their meal, Delroy and Gilroy are attacked by ravenous fire ants. They get bug spray from the tree but poison their meal in the process. When they ask for a light (for their tree has grown Lucky Strike cigarettes), thev get a flash­ light. These literal interpretations are met with frustration. Walch's play on language is one of the more amusing absurd ele­ ments in Craving Gravy. Another is the comic pairing of Delrov and Gilroy. Delroy an obsessive neurotic, is balanced bv his oblivious compan­ ion Gilroy. This comic team become a post-apocalvptic Cousin Larry and Balky (from television s Perfect $trJ>lgCr<). Drama graduate student Michael Arthur (Delroy) is obsessed with word games keeping him>elf above the animals and.honoring the mem­ ory of his pioneer ancestors. Delrov is a bossy, loud and overbearing know-it-all. Arthur sweats, spits when he talks and bugs his eyes. (The first four rows will get wet.) As Gilroy, drama graduate stu­ dent Amy L. Washburn is delight­ fully flaky. Gilroy goes on and on about her mother's cooking, espe­ cially her gravy, which was made "with a pinch of love.' Washburn's sense of Gilroy as a character is strong. As Gilroy Washburn is the epitome of a sidekick. The glue that holds Delroy and Gilroy together is drama under­ graduate Chris J. Moreland. As the Michael Arthur and Am y L. W ash ­ burn pull some dead weight in the new comedy C raving Gravy. Charmer (Leroy), Moreland teaches Delroy and Gilroy the power of their words, and he helps them real­ ize that they love each other. With no speaking parts, More­ land's role as the Charmer relies completely on physical expression­ ism. "He was chosen because he's one of the best physical actors I've ever seen," said directing graduate student and Craving Gravy director Kati Koerner. Koemer's direction maintains the surrealism of Walch's play. Her research into creation myths of ancient cultures and burial rites of the Ga people of Ghana (who b u y their dead in bizarre, custom-made coffins) become motifs in the action of the play. and hook a great catch!
