Ryan Brown/DAILY TEXAN STAFF F o ur M ore Y ears Bush marks beginning of second term with festivities Martin Kaest and M ehss t Mason Daily Texan S’ * . N in eteen guns salu ted Gov. George W. Bush — the first governor in history to serve two consecutive four-year terms in Texas — as he was sw orn into office Tuesday on ‘ he Capitol steps. "Every vote cast is a hope," Bush said in his inauguration speech. "A hope that the years ahead will bring a better life for each generation." Bush said he foresees a thriving economy under his administration as long as Texas continues to enforce low taxes, keep a limited government and protect free markets. Bush added that a continued focus on family values will play an impor­ tant role in improving the moral fab­ ric of the state. "[Our children] must learn to say yes to responsibility, yes to family, yes to honesty and work ... and no to drugs, no to violence, no to promis­ cuity or having babies out-of-wed­ lock," he said. "A healthy society depends on the character of its citi­ zens." Texas voters re-elected Bush in N ovem ber w ith 69 percent of the vote. He now leads a state govern­ m ent by Republicans. co n tro lled la rg e ly L ieutenant G overnor-elect Rick Perry, who made history as the first elected Republican lieutenant gover­ nor, dted character and education as an im portant factor in im proving Texas values. Perry said once legislative priori­ ties such as education are met for the state, Bush's team will begin consid­ ering the issue of tax breaks. But University Democrats presi­ dent Aaron Schmidt, a public rela­ tions ju n ior, said the g o v e rn o r's speech was flighty, sending a mixed message of family values and gov­ ernment control. "Bush contradicts himself when he speaks about the importance of eco­ nomic freedom, and then at the same time he advocates that the Texas gov­ ernment make moral judgments of its citizens, i.e. unwed mothers," he said. Sch m id t said the g overnm en t should stay out of citizen's private lives. "The University Democrats do not believe that the government should be enforcing moral opinions upon its citizens," Schmidt said. "His speech was an example of his first term. He spoke a lot of general and vague rhetoric without offering any solu­ tions." But College Republicans member L esley French, a public relatio n s freshman, defended Bush's speech, which she said appealed to Texans who want to maintain a moral foun­ dation. "H e really emphasized what we believe in," French said. "W e need to teach our children that we are all cre­ ated equal in God's eyes, and that through the American dream every' child can succeed." She added that education is a key part of this success. "Every child must learn to read," French said. " I t 's a big need in Texas." Dorm lottery deadline fast approaching Jennifer Pollack Daily Texan Staff S tu d e n ts se e k in g o n -c a m p u s housing will soon be out of luck as the dorm lottery application dead­ lin e q u ic k ly a p p ro a c h e s w ith Monday, Jan. 25, being the last day to apply. So far 2 ,1 0 0 stu d e n ts h av e e n te re d to c o m p e te fo r 1 ,5 0 0 spaces. The lottery and reservation of 70 percent of dorm space for freshmen are designed to allow frist-year stu­ dents to do better in their classes as well as ease adjustment to universi­ ty life, said James Vick, vice presi­ dent for student affairs. "W e would love to have as many students on cam pus who w ant to live here, but we are limited in the num ber of beds a v a ila b le ," V ick said. But V ick said the p re se n ce of upperclassm en in campus housing is beneficial to the campus. " I t 's im p o rta n t th a t w e h av e some returning students in the resi­ dence halls because m aturity and experience help create a communi­ ty of support," Vick said. Sheila Ochner, assistant director of administrative services, said the D iv is io n o f H o u sin g and Foo d S erv ice has had problem s in the past with students reserving spaces as a backup plan with little inten­ tion of living in the dorm. This kept other students who wanted to live in the dorm from getting a space. "W e are trying to get people to commit to living on campus rather than using us as a backup to alter­ nate living plans," Ochner said. L a st sp rin g 3¿800 s tu d e n ts a p p lie d fo r h o ü sin g c o n tra c t renew als, but by the tim e school started 1,600 of th o se had m ade other arrangements. Students who had been on the waiting list could h av e g o tte n in to th e d orm s b u t made alternative plans instead of waiting till the last minute. The drawing w ill take place the w eekend of Jan. 29 and stud ents w ill be n o tifie d o f th e ir s ta tu s F eb .l. Ochner said the Division of s H ousing and Food scheduled the lo ttery to allow stu d ents to seek alternative housing if they do not get into the dorms. But, O chner said, this presents som e p ro b le m s.

He also announced the government will sue the tobacco industry for smokers' health exists. On a day of high drama that shifted from his daytime trial in the Senate to his prime-time State of the Union speech, Clinton made no mention of the sex-and-lies case that led to his impeachment and imperils his presidency. But with me economy booming and the budget balanced, Clinton said-America's achievements are sometimes overlooked "in the clash of controversy." Several Republicans boycotted the 77-minute speech; Chief Justice William Rehnquist, presiding over Clinton s trial, also stayed away. Republicans, in their response to the president's speech, said the nation's business would not be hurt regardless of the outcome of Clinton's trial. “Our country is not in crisis," said Rep. Jennifer Dunn, R-Wash. " N o matter what the outcome of the president's situation, life in America will go o n " Clinton opened his address by recalling the admonition of new House Speaker Dennis Hastert for Republicans and Democrats to work in a spirit of bipartisanship.

"These regents have been won­ d erful the con trib u tors U n iversity, not sim p ly during their years of formal service as regen ts, but th rou g h ou t their careers," he said. to O fficials in the G overnor's office said the ap p oin tm en ts process is not yet complete, but a p p o in tees to the Board of Regents w ill be announced late this month. "The director of appointments has to review all the paperwork, screen die applications, do refer­ ence checks and conduct inter­ view s before we make a recom­ mendation to the Governor," said Linda Edwards, a spokeswoman for Bush, "it usually takes several weeks to do all that, especially for such a major appointment." In terview s w ith form er c o l­ leagues, experience with higher education, and the op inions of current board m em bers are all factors in the a p p oin tm en t of regents, Edwards said. The appointm ents office may ask for input from a number of sources but the final decision is made by the governor himself. "Typically the governor's office might contact us on an informal basis," said James Boone, execu­ tive director of the Ex-Students' asso cia tio n . "This year they haven't asked us for information, though." E xiting board m em bers also said they would make no recom­ mendations about their replace­ ments. "It's the governor's decision," Lebermann said. "It wouldn't be appropriate for me to su g g est something like that." Continued from page 1 that,* the president said. In the ornate House chamber where he was impeached one month ago on a party-line vote, the president was received with respect and interrupted by applause 95 times. Democrats were most enthusiastic. Two of his harshest Republican critics — House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas and House Majority Whip Tom DeLay of Texas — sat stonily side by side. Demanding that Washington reserve $4 trillion in expected budget surpluses to shore up Social Security and Medicare, Clinton declared, "First things first." In a new salvo against smoking, the Justice Clinton announced Department will sue the tobacco indus­ try. He also is seeking a 55-cent-a-pack tax on cigarettes. "Our children are tar­ gets of a massive media campaign to hqok them on cigarettes," Clinton said. Clinton also urged spending billions of dollars for new programs in child care, education, erime-fighting, the environment and the Pentagon. And he called for raising the minimum wage by $1 an hour over two years to $6.15.

Clinton's speech came eight hours after W hite H ouse law y ers b egan defending the presideht in a Senate trial, arguing he was innocent of per­ jury and obstruction of justice charges an d " m u s t not be rem ov ed from office." Two special guests sat in the House ch a m b e r w ith first lad y H illary R o dham C lin to n as the p re sid e n t spoke: civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks and baseball slugger Sam m y Sosa. Clinton singled out his wife, saying "I honor her" for her work with children and on behalf of the nation. On education, the president said he w ould send Congress a plan that for the first time holds states and school districts accountable for their progress and rewards them for results, he said. Schools that fail to comply could lose some of the $15 billion the federal gov­ ernment spends on education. "I believe we must change the way we invest that money, to support what works and to stop supporting w hat doesn't," the president said. No child sh o u ld g ra d u a te from h ig h school "with a diploma he or she can't read," Clinton said. I In his remarks on foreign policy, Clinton said the United States will con­ tinue to contain Iraq's Saddam Hussein. "And we will work for the day when Iraq has a government wor­ thy of its people," Clinton said. In die aftermath of the killing of more than 40 ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, Clinton said the United States and NATO allies "are pressing the Serbian government to stop its brutal repression in Kosovo, to bring those responsible to justice." He also proposed $4.2 billion — a 70 percent increase — to dismantle and destroy Russia's nuclear arsenal and redirect foe work of Russian scientists from weapons to civilian research. On Social Security, Clinton's propos­ al sets up a monumental fight over how to protect the giant retirement program and deal with GOP tax-cut­ ting ambitions against a background of $4 trillion in projected surpluses over 15 years. The president's proposal would cre­ ate new 401(k)-style retirement accounts for workers and invest some of Sodal Security's cash reserves in the stock market for foe first time. financial trouble.

VIEWPOINT Sita:r struck I Tuesday's Gubernatorial inauguration was a grandiose display filled with pomp and glitter. Coupled with Air Force jets, a former U.S. president and all the necessary trappings, it allowed downtown Austin to stop, if only for a moment, to take in the hopes for the year 2000. It was, for Gov. George W. Bush, one of his finest moments. Lawmakers sang his praises. A thoughtful prayer from San Antonio Archbishop Flores lulled the adoring crowd, pundits and passers-by alike, iri to a calm anticipation of the governor's words. Texas' first family stood dutifully at his side and beamed in the spotlight. "W e must rally the armies of compassion that are in every community of this state and encourage them to love, to nur­ ture, to mentor, to help and thus to offer hope to those who have none. Because here is the danger to Texas: if the dream is not available to all, it diminishes the dreams of the entire society. As we do to the least of us, we do to ourselves." Sprinkling his speech with Spanish, something that has come to characterize his public engagements during the past 12 months, Bush portrayed himself as a man for the people. No announcements of policy changes, no "new-fangled' plans for the future of Social Security, no bureaucracy. His speech was a break for Texans — and Americans — who have turned off C-SPAN, tired of the bickering that is Wash­ ington politics. It was the sort of speech that drives spin doctors crazy. Too flowery, lacking in substance, down-home anecdotes — in their words, trash. Bush managed to hit on race relations, education, the definition of modern-day morality and eco­ nomics as if it were speech before the local PTA. In short, it was perfect. Perfect for Texas, and hopefully perfect for the thousands of GOP loyalists breathlessly await­ ing his plan for the year 2000. For Bush and Texans, this speech couldn't have come at a better time. The irony of his inauguration coinciding with the turmoil at the nation's capital was evident, as a sitting presi­ dent struggled to save his career. Bush practically celebrated the launch of his. As Texans tuned into their nightly news to see images of Gov. Bush's inauguration, the rest of the nation prepared to see President Clinton deliver his State of the Union address in the midst of an impeachment trial. The scandal, the accu­ sations, and the reality that Bill Clinton doesn't really care have worn on the public. As scholars and pundits alike des­ perately try to remind us that there are still shreds of dignity left in public service, Clinton has been of little help. Bush could be a refreshing change. There's no doubt he can win over a crowd. "Our Texas night sky is most brilliant when each lone star shines at its brightest. My vision is a Texas with each lone star educated, respected as a unique, individual light and open to the universe of possibilities surrounding it." One must wonder what the nation thinks of "the vision thing" now. EDITORIALS State clemency a broken process Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor or writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the University administratioryhe Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. « T \ What would you say if a govern­ ment agency were legally allowed to hold secret meetings? What if its members were allowed to make important decisions, even life and death determinations, without ever having to come together as a body to review n levant information? What if the members of this group could sim­ ply fax in their votes without even a moments pause to consider the con­ sequences, an i Iwithout any way to hold them accountable? Sounds like something out of a George Orwell or Franz Kafka novel, doesn't it? It surely wouldn't be tol­ erated in real life, would it? But in fact it happens all the time right here in Texas. Under current state law, the Board of Pardons and Parole doesn't even have to assemble its members to con­ sider clemency petitions from death row inmates, let alone explain itself when the board gives its thumbs-up or thumbs-down to an individual's request to keep on living. Gov. George W. Bush, who appoints the board, has so far resist- Greg Hammond COLUMNIST ed calls for opening up the process to the same standards other govern­ ment agencies are required to meet. The judiciary, both state and federal, has disavowed any ability to reform the process, placing the responsibili­ ty squarely in the lap of the legisla­ ture. Fortupately, Austin Rep. Elliott Naishtat has authored a pair of bills designed to make the clemency review process a little more user- friendly. According to Naishtat, the much publicized cases of Henry Lee Lucas and Karla Faye Tucker under­ scored the need for reform. Further­ more, according to interview with board members, Naishtat said it's common for members to simply assume that each petitioner is guilty and therefore deny requests automat­ ically. Others might have reserva­ tions about a particular case, but as the board never meets as a body and never hears evidence in any system­ atic way, it's impossible for members to be clear as to the particulars of the case. We would not tolerate such sloppi­ ness in any other state agency, not to mention the fact that, as Naishtat points out, "in life and death deci­ sions it seems fair that every effort should be made to comply with both due process safeguards and open meeting act requirements." The bills themselves are quite straightforward, and still allow the board ample discretion as to how to handle each case. The first bill, HB 397, merely states that the board must meet publicly and must hear testimony when considering capital punishment cases only. The second bill, HB 398, outlines a minimal set of criteria that the board should consider when reviewing cases, including any remaining legal issues (many executed convicts later turn out to be innocent), the mental health of the convict (even those suf­ fering from mental retardation aren't saved from the possibility of a death sentence), the requests of the victim's families (not everyone wants the state to kill in their name) and even the possibility just maybe, the convict has reformed him or herself (as in Tucker's case). that maybe, Ultimately, it is debatable whether the state should ever have the right to decide if any person dies, no matter what crime that person has commit­ ted. But given the ease with which the current clemency process could make a mistake, it is high time we instituted some measure of account­ ability in the process. Perhaps now we'll see fewTer peo­ ple needlessly killed, and fewer cases clogging up the courts as death row inmates plead for their lives. Natural­ ly, not all of these inmates are inno­ cent or deserving a mild sentence. But killing killers sets a dangerous precedent. But that's an argument for my next column.

These are my predictions for the Amy Strahan ASSOCIATE EDITOR new year, 1999, the edge of this great millennium we've all heard so much about. If they're wrong, shoot me. If they're right, consider me lucky, and above all — tell me what you think and ask us for a job. (Hey, we're just as tired as y'all are.) The Texas Legislature — Yep, I had to mention it and remind stu­ dents there will be no parking downtown this semester. Expect the entire UT System, including our beloved boys up in the Tower, to be bowing and scraping for more money down at the Capitol. Austin's other daily reported they've even created a new title to take care of "providing informa­ tion" to lawmakers. They're not allowed to lobby (thank heavens!) so the campus is going to collec­ tively give these politicians as many stats as they can. We encourage you to help out and remind our state that the Univer­ sity doesn't consist solely of peo­ ple over 30. Texas Football — If you're a football fan you are extremely happy right now. Mack Brown has managed to put Texas football back on the map — and Ricky's stellar performance with David Letter- man, his glowing praise of Austin, and his modesty in the face of this sudden fame stunned many of us. Expect Ricky to be just a little bit tired this semester — he can carry defensive linemen 10 yards like a backpack, but we'll wager that the commercials and appearances to help out the University may take a lot out of him this spring. Ricky, hang in there and don't let DeLoss Dodds work you too hard. You deserve a break. Send Applewhite to the press conferences — he's technically a freshman. The Texas Union — Andy Smith and the administrators at our cam­ pus mini-mall have been gearing up to convince state lawmakers they need more of our money. Yes, other schools' unions do have more power to increase student fees, but don't expect the Lege to have pity on a University that's making million^ off of its corporate logo and royalties to boot. (There are a few Aggies among them, you know.) Faculty — Austin's other daily reported over the break that UT officials have ended the Universi­ ty's program to attract and keep minority faculty. The culprit — Hopwood. Scheduling speaking time at the West Mall may be even tougher this semester than last as student and faculty groups fight this one. Flagships? — UT officials, name­ ly UT System Chancellor William Cunningham, are proposing that the state give more money to high­ er education throughout Texas to create an educational system more like California's. We'll definitely be hearing a hell of a lot about this and bickering over which school should be flagships and which shouldn't. The debate promises to ruffle more than a few feathers in Austin, College Station and Lub­ bock. Strahan is a journalism senior. FIRING LINE Is he serious?

Todd Rosson UT alumnus GOP double standard Publisher Larry Flynt's recent revelations of Bob Barr's marital infidelities can hardly be surpris­ ing to us anymore, can they? It seems quite a few of the top Republicans who are always yammering on about "family val­ ues" and "the defense of mar­ riage" are on their second or third wives, and several have cheated on one or more of them. One has to wonder — which marriage are they defending? Their second? Their third? Barr voted for the "Defense of Marriage Act" and yet he's had extra-marital affairs. He says he's anti-abortion yet he paid for his second wife to have an abortion. He's touts "family values" and yet he's had three wives'. How exactly is he "defending" mar­ riage or promoting family values? The Republicans and some of the press are outraged at the so- called "invasion of privacy" by Larry Flynt. But how many of these same Republicans have con­ tinually voted to invade the pri­ vacy of gay men and women, try­ ing to legislate what Americans can do in their own bedrooms? They've posted details of Clin­ ton’s sex life on the Internet, yet having their own indiscretions made public is an outrage to them. Once more, a full set of double standards. Yes, Clinton's behav­ ior has been shameful, but even more shameful are the hypocrites who feign moral outrage while committing the same acts them­ selves.

M ich ael A u lick , e x e c u tiv e d irector for the A u stin T rans­ portation Study, said the search for alternative m od es of trans­ portation is spurred by projected rapid population growth. The population of the A ustin metropolitan area is expected to double from 1 million to 2 million people by the year 2020, Aulick said. H O V lanes would improve con­ g e s tio n p ro b lem s in A u stin because they carry twice as many p e o p le per hour than regu lar lanes, he said. The plan for HOV lanes w ill involve about 30 m iles of h igh ­ w ay on 1-35 from north of Georgetown to the south end of A u stin , and about 20 m iles on H igh w ay 183 and M oPac com ­ bined. A u lick said the con stru ction w ill p robably be ch eap er than estimated costs because of previ­ ously scheduled repairs for 1-35 and extra sp ace d e sig n e d for HOV lanes already available on 183.

Mike Wilson Daily Texan Staff Just one day after throwing a pair of punches on national television during a 76-67 loss to No. 19 Kansas, UT forward Gabe Muoneke has been forced to take his antids to the sidelines. The 6-7 junior has been handed a one- game suspension by Texas coach Rick Barnes for "unsportsmanlike behavior" — the second such incident this season — and will be out of action for UT's home game with No. 23 Oklahoma State on Saturday. In the first half against the Jayhawks, Muoneke punched KU guard Nick Bradford, and later also punched Kansas post T.J. Pugh in the second half. Barnes had warned Muoneke after he threw a punch during a Dec. 15 meeting with Wisconsin that he might be sus­ pended, and second episode this brought about swift punishment. The latter brought only a personal foul — and not a technical — while the former went undetected by everyone in the building but Bradford and an ESPN cam­ eraman. "After the Wisconsin game, Gabe knew in his heart that he didn't want something like this to happen again, but it did," said Barnes, who added that he didn't learn of Muoneke's behavior until after the game. "There is no question this needed to be dealt with immediately. This type of action is not representative of the University of Texas." Muoneke, who leads the Longhorns in scoring, said he was "embarassed and ashamed" of the way he acted during Monday night's game that was aired nationally on ESPN, and apologized to "I publicly said after the Wisconsin incident that this behavior would not happen again, but as the whole nation saw, it did," Muoneke said. "My behav­ ior was totally inexcusable and inappro­ priate, and I want to fix it," Muoneke said that at the time he didn't consider his actions anything more than retaliation. But after reviewing the game film, the junior forward said he was ashamed of his conduct. "I didn't think that much of it during the game," he said. "I just perceived it as retaliation. But when I saw it on televi­ sion, it was embarrassing. That is what helped me realize that there is a prob­ lem." The suspension will take its toll on a Texas team that has been short-handed Gabe Muoneke w ill miss Texas' game against Oklahoma State. Alldraw Loahman/OAILY TEXAN STAFF GABE/Page 8 Texas rookies unsure in post Jeff McDonald Daily Texan Staff Just call it the curse of youth. Through 15 games this season, Texas women's basketball team has been bedeviled by a frontcourt that has been consistently inconsistent — at times irrepressible, at others just invisible. In other words, the Longhorn post players have performed exactly like the freshmen that most of them are. "We knew there would be some downside to playing so many fresh­ men," said head coach Jody Conradt, who typically starts least rookies g a m e . "Believe or not, they are making progress, just not as quickly as we need them to." at two a it Indeed, inexperience down low is one reason the Horns (8-7 overall, 2- 3 Big 12) are so low down in the conference standings. In back-to-back league losses, Texas top three post players — all rookies — were abused at times by their more seasoned counterparts at Baylor and Kansas State. Rashunda Johnson, a 6-4 center, hit only seven of 21 shots over that stretch, while 6-2 forward Tracy Cook scored a combined six points. Dana Godfrey, a six-footer who is usually the first off the bench, was solid but not spectacular, putting up a career-high nine points against the Wildcats and pulling down a respectable seven boards in Waco. And similar troubles will wait when Oklahoma State (10-5, 2-3), its 6-7 center Devon Magness and 6-1 forward in Megan Gregg roll into the Erwin Center on Wednesday night. "Personally, I'm not where I want to be at all," said Cook, a product of Cedar Hill High School.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Super Bowl still has luster Okay, I'll admit it. This isn't the Super Bowl matchup most of us were hoping for. Sure, it would have been nice to see Minnesota's Randall Cun­ ningham finally get his shot at a world championship. The nostal­ gia of seeing the Jets' Joe N am ath -style t h r o w b a c k in uniforms the Super Bowl was almost too good to pass up. And one can only imagine what sort of spectacular show that rookie phenom Randy Moss would have displayed on foot­ ball's biggest stage. But just because the Jan. 31 tilt in Miami may have lost some of its luster, there are still plenty of good reasons to tune in. And as a Mike Finger Texan Sports Editor public service, we'll provide you with three ways to make your viewing experience more plea- sureable. 1. Root against Jamal Ander­ son. While it's undeniable that the emergence of Atlanta's star run­ ning back played a huge role in the Falcons' remarkable turn­ around, that doesn't mean that America has to like him. Ander­ son has an ego to rival that of Celine Dion, and by the looks of his hair, he spends just as much time in the beauty salon as the Canadian crooner. And for those >of you who enjoy watching Anderson's patented "Dirty Bird" touch­ down dance, please stop reading now and slap yourself. The only time that the "Bird," which looks like the chicken dance on PCP, was ever cool was when Texas wide receiver Kwame Cavil did it on the sidelines of the Cotton Bowl. As for the Falcons' version, I think a grizzled ex-football great summed it up best two weeks ago as he watched Anderson dance in front of several glaring San Fran­ cisco 49ers. "It shouldn't be a penalty," the old-timer said, "for one of those guys on defense to come up and knock the snot out of that guy from behind." Amen, brother. 2. Watch for any signs of bad blood. The last time Atlanta coach Dan Reeves participated in a Super Bowl, he was with the Broncos calling the shots for quarterback John Elway. When Reeves finally left Denver to coach the New York Giants, it was widely believed that Elway forced him out. Since then, the old wounds have continued to fester, and an opportunity to see the rematch is pretty enticing. Will Elway end his brilliant career by beating the man he con­ sidered a coaching pariah? Will Reeves' faulty ticker be able to handle all the tension? If the Fal­ cons win, will Reeves try to do the HNGER/Page 8 All talk, no action Strickland, Worm make waves, though settlement not official Associated Press NEW YORK — Dennis Rodman retired, Antonio McDyess deliberated, Rod Strickland wavered and the NBA lockout settlement was delayed once again. training camps and It Was another day of waiting, won­ dering and waffling Tuesday, with the start of the onslaught of trades and free agent sign­ ings pushed back until Thursday as lawyers for owners and players haggled over the fine print of the new collective bargaining agreement.

Billick, the architect of the Min­ nesota Vikings' record-setting offense this season, was hired less than 24 hours after becoming the fourth person to interview for the job. "It was worth the wait," said Modell, the Ravens owner, who was to introduce Billick at an evening news conference at the team's stadium at Camden Yards. Modell, who bought the Cleve­ land Browns in 1961 and moved the franchise to Baltimore in 1995, has never had a team that went to the Super Bowl. Billick takes over a team that went 6-10 last season and 16-31-1 in three years under Ted Marchi- broda, who was fired Dec. 28. 5 Marchibroda was hired shortly after the franchise's departure from Cleveland. Billick, 44, met with Modell for dinner on Monday night and was signed Tuesday afternoon. The agreement took place one day after the Cleveland Browns elimi­ nated Billick from their list of prospective head coaches. Billick has been the Vikings' offensive coordinator the past five years. Minnesota scored an NFL- record 556 points during the regu­ lar season and amassed a team- record 6,264 yards, but the Vikings were eliminated from the playoffs Sunday with a 30-27 overtime loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Bergman, Powell re-sign with Astros ■ HOUSTON — The Houston Astros on Tuesday avoided two salary arbitration hearings by reach­ ing deals with right-handed pitch­ ers Sean Bergman and Jay Powell. - Bergman was signed to a one- y£ar contract, while Powell received a three-year deal. I Bergman, 28, won a career-high 17 games for the Astros last sea­ son, most of which he spent as a siarter. He helped shore up the rotation with a surprise career year, reaching personal bests with UTl innings and 100 strikeouts. * Having seemingly overcome control problems he had in five prior seasons at Detroit and San Diego, he posted a 3.72 ERA in 31 games. Powell, 26, arrived in Houston last July in a trade with the Florida Marlins. He helped solidify the club's middle-relief situation by going 3-3 with a 2.38 ERA and four saves. The team previously had avert­ ed arbitration by signing catcher Tony Eusebio and right-handed starting pitcher Jose Lima. The tnree Astros still eligible for salary arbitration are outfield­ er Carl Everett, infielder Ricky Gutierrez and left-handed closer Billy Wagner. — Compiled from Associated Press reports.

Enjoy the absence of Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones. It was only six years ago when the J.J. boys carved out their spot in Super Bowl history with the memo­ rable question, "How 'bout them Cowboys?" Well, gentlemen, if you still want the answer, here goes: The Cowboys' once-proud nucle­ us is older than Strom Thurmond, they drafted a mediocre defensive end over the NFL's next bonafide superstar, their wide receivers pass the time by slicing the necks of offensive linemen, they were elimi­ nated from the playoffs by a team that needed a last-second field goal against San Diego to make the postseason, and they haven't won anything of real importance since time Johnson's bangs the moved. last Johnson, meanwhile, has uti­ lized his genius mind to transform a Miami team once known for in the playoffs folding into a Miami that, well, were team humiliated in the playoffs by Den­ ver, 38-3. Nope, it doesn't look like he or Jones will be sniffing the Super Bowl any time soon. Now all we need to do is work on getting rid of Una Turner. IOC member resigns post amidst Salt Lake controversy Associated Press LONDON — The first IOC mem­ ber resigned Tuesday in the growing Olympic bribery scandal — not one of the committee's power brokers but a former sprint champion who said her only offense was being too naive. Pirjo Haeggman of Finland, one of the first two women appointed to the International Olympic Commit­ tee, subjnitted her resignation in person to IOC President Juan Anto­ nio in Lausanne, Switzerland. Samaranch Haeggman is one of 13 members implicated in the investigation into allegations of misconduct by IOC delegates stemming from Salt Lake's winning bid for the 2002 Winter Games, the biggest corruption scan­ dal in Olympic history. While Haeggman was the first IOC member to resign since the scandal Youth Continued from page 7 haven't lived up to what this team needs. One of the problems has been that we're weak at my position, and that's been frustrating." But though they may be quick to accept it, Conradt isn't about to put all the blame for her team's recent skid on the broad shoulders of her big girls. After all, the 23rd- year coach noted, it was the whole team that let down against Baylor, and the K-State game was lost largely because the Wildcats hit crucial three-pointers down the stretch. "We're committed to sticking with [the said, freshmen]," Conradt adding that no line-up changes were in die works. "They're the basis of our program. We're going to depend on them now, and in the future." And it isn't as if there haven't been the occasional flashes of bril­ liance from all three. Johnson was the first to make an impact, posting an 11-point, 10 rebound double-double in the fifth game of her career at Arizona State on Dec. 2. Not to be outdone, Cook lit up Southwest Texas for 17 points and 17 rebounds double-double 10 days later. Since the start of conference play, Godfrey has failed to pull down at least five boards only once, when Kansas State held her broke, three other Olympic officials have also quit They are Salt Lake Organizing Committee President Frank Joklik and Senior Vice President Dave Johnson, and Alfredo La Mont, the U S Olympic C o m m i t t e e ' s senior director erf international rela­ tions. is Haeggman only the second IOC member to resign in a scan­ Robert dal. Helmick stepped Mt#fBm#n down in 1991 as an IOC member and president of the U.S. Olympic Committee amid alle­ gations of conflict of interest in con­ tracts with sports associations. In a statement from Helsinki, Haeggman denied any wrongdoing but said she could no lot%er function as an IOC member. She said she had been "rash and perhaps naive in my trust in other people." Haeggman's ex-husband, Bjame, reportedly worked briefly for the Salt Lake bid committee and for 20 months in an Ontario government job initiated by the Toronto committee bidding for the 19% Summer Games. Haeggman was among the nine IOC members accused of serious violations who faced possible expul­ sion, a senior Olympic official close to the investigation told The Associ­ ated Press. Four other members have been cited for minor violations and face warnings or no sanctions at all, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The 13 members all received let­ ters from IOC investigators asking to explain actions by themselves or members of their families. Tuesday was the deadline for replies. Anita DeFrantz, a vice president from the ‘United States and the highest ranking woman in IOC his­ tory, said she was surprised by Haeggman's action but glad a fel­ low former athlete had made the sacrifice. "Who would've thought Pirjo would resign?" said DeFrantz, a bronze medal rower in 1976. " I in guess Olympians, that when she was called to task, she said 'All right, I have been judged guilty and I will resign.'" it renews m y , belief Haeggman resigned four days before the IOC investigators, headed by vice president Dick Pound, are to meet in Lausanne to conclude their inquiry and make recommendations to the executive board. The board can suspend any mem­ bers found guilty of serious miscon­ duct. A special general assembly has been called for March 17-18 to vote on expulsions.. to just three. "We are working hard," Johnson said. "We'll get there if we keep working hard enough." Still, Texas does rank dead last in the Big 12 in defensive rebounding, hauling in a scant 22.5 per game, while the team's top two leaders on the glass are guards. Johnson aver­ ages 4.8 a contest, trailing 5-10 slash­ ers Edwina Brown (7.9 rpg) and JoRuth Woods (5.7 rpg). Those stats are enough to light a fire under the rookies in the front- court, who have since last week vowed to "make rebounding a focus," according to Cook. "The post players are the ones who are supposed to clean up all the trash down low," said Godfrey, who came to Texas from a powerhouse program at Duncanville. "We know Edwina's out there working hard, and we have to step it up and match that. There's really no excuses." Part of the rookies' collective inconsistency could be chalked up to culture shock: "Every single person you play is either as good or better than you are," Cook said. "It's not that way in high school." Added Johnson, who averaged 15 points, eight rebounds, and five blocks as a senior at Waco Midway High School: "I've always been the tallest player out there, so they'd just lob the bail up for me. I didn't have to work that hard." Unlike most incoming freshman, however, the Texas' post players have been pressed into significant action since the day they stepped on campus, and therein could lie the second stumbling block. The only experience on the blocks comes in the form of 6-1 senior Taryn Brown, who has started 16 games in her career, and redshirt sophomore Carla Littleton, who missed all of last season with a knee injury and just returned to action last week after re-aggravating it in late November. "Taryn's been great," Cook said, "but when you're outnumbered by a bunch of hard-headed freshmen, it's going to be tough." Whatever fhe reason for their struggles, Conradt and her staff are hoping their rookie protégés can mature before the Longhorns are too far out of the conference race. And for their part, Texas' still-wet- in behind-the-Horns players are quite a hurry to grow up. "It's time for us to focus," Cook said. "We've got to start expecting more from each other instead of just accepting what's happening." Gabe Continued from page 7 all year. The Longhorns will only be able to suit six scholarship players for the OSU game, making fatigue a bigger factor than it already has been this season. Despite these extra burdens, Barnes said that his team will be pre­ pared to play come Saturday. "The thing I will tell the team tomorrow is that I expect them all to step up," Barnes said. "We're not going to make any excuses. We're going to come to play." Barnes said that Muoneke has agreed to do whatever is necessary to curb his frequently unsportsman­ like behavior, including the possibil­ ity of counseling. Barnes said Muoneke is a better person than his actions might suggest, which is one reason he wants to help his troubled star. "I think that Gabe is a wonderful young man, and he has worked hard all year," Barnes said. "But he has developed a reputation because of his actions. I know that he isn't really a bad person, but that is the only side that people see. "I told him, 'It's not about basket­ ball. It goes beyond that.' I want to help him because I like him. I want people to be able to see the how good a person he is off the court."

Hopefully the maneuver will pay off for In D ream s, a dazzling supernatural m ind gam e from N eil Jo rd an ( The C ryin g Game, Interview with the Vampire) featuring an u n fo rg ettab le p erfo rm an ce from A nn ette B en in g. The ta le n te d a c tre s s h as p lay ed everyth in g from the p resid en t's girlfriend (The American President) to Bugsy's girlfriend (Bugsy), yet never has she been as radiant as she is here.

With visions of missing children, apple orchards and flood­ ing landscapes, Claire claims to see into the future (via her dream s), yet no one around h er b e lie v e s a w o rd sh e sa y s. B u t as In Dreams progresses, Claire crumbles. After her young daughter is kidnapped from a school play and m urdered by a local serial killer (Robert Dow ney, Jr.), C laire spiral^ into a state of insan ity and is in stitu tio n alized , haunted by dreams supposedly filtered from her daughter's m urderer (don't ask — it's a supernatural thing).

H er descent into madness is as fascinating a por­ trayal as anything Glenn Close conjured up in Fatal A ttraction. M ore im pressive is how her character, clearly short of a full deck, is smarter than anyone else in the film. Screen­ w riters Jord an and B ru ce R obinson nearly box them selves into a corner after C laire is institutionalized, but w isely pull her out of total m adness long enough for her to track down the man who has so quickly caused her demise.

Poe’s mystique kept alive by fans Associated Press BALTIMORE — A mysterious stranger clad in a three-quarter length black peacoat left roses and cognac at the grave of Edgar Allan Poe early today, continuing a tradition that began 50 years ago. About a dozen people waited inside and outside Westminster Church until the tall, unknown visitor made his arrival at the tiny brick-walled cemetery just before 3 a.m. EST. The stranger placed his hands on Poe's tombstone and appeared to pray. A moment later he was gone, leaving three roses and a bottle of cognac to mark the 190th birthday of the macabre author. The identity of the first mysterious visitor, who had been dressed in black topcoat and fedora, has remained a riddle since the ritual began in 1949, a century after Poe died. The aging visitor, believed to be the original, car­ ried on die tradition until 1993, when he left a cryptic note saying 'The torch will be passed." His followers have agreed to carrv on die anony­ mous annual tribute, said Jeff Jerome, curator of the a pnvate nature. I'm not trying to be mysterious, but some of this has to remain with me because it may give a clue as to who it is." Poe penned classic horror stories such as The Fall of the House o f Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Tell­ tale Heart and The Masque o f the Red Death. His famous poems include The Raven and Annabel Lee. He lived in Baltimore from 1829 to 1836 and died here in 1849 at age 40. The three roses left each year are thought to represent the poet, his wife, and her mother. All are buried in the tiny cemetery Lynne Finley, of Nashville, Tenn. spent the night at the church with her sister, D .j. Gaskin, of Burke, Va. to celebrate Ms. Finley's 40th birthday, which she shares with Poe. "Knowing that the tradition will be carried on was encouraging but I was a little saddened," Ms. Finley said. Her sister said the atm osphere was "alm ost Oscar-worthy Play looks at Wilde’s trials, tribulations Amy Chozick Daily Texan Staff In The Soul o f A Man Under Social­ ism, O scar W ilde w rites that "a rt should never try to be popular; the p u b lic sh ou ld try to m ake itse lf artistic."

Because of this, very few true G othic labels ex ist. O ne such lab el th at has always been at the forefront of Goth is Projekt Records, the label started by Sam Rosenthal, which has sup­ ported many talented and great small bands. Among these are Love S p ira ls Downwrard s, T h an atos, Loveliescrushing, and, of course, Rosenthal's own band, Black Tape for a Blue Girl. However their new album, As One Aflame Laid Bare By Desire, shows Black Tape in a musi­ cal rut with an album full of boring Gothic clichés with little to offer. The album opens with the title track, which begins as most Black Tape songs do: a hauntingly simple melody plays on a flute as Rosen­ th a l's v oice ebbs and flow s throughout the background. The song t^k es a b reak midw'ay through, but the sim ple m elody returns, this time with Lisa Feuer (a collaborator from 1991 's A Chaos o f Desire) singing in a more solid yet m elancholy fashion. Her voice is overlapped and harmonized with itself, occasionally sounding similar to Siouxsie Sioux. The song ends as softly as it starts, with Feuer's voice gently fading. "G iv en " com es in next w ith a stronger, more cohesive sound with Feuer again on vocals. Feuer's voice is ethereal but lacks emotion and depth, w hile the focus on a lone violin only makes the song cheesy and overly dram atic. This is an unbearably slow, New Age-sound­ ing song that only reinforces stereo­ types of Gothic music. "Tell Me You've Taken Another" starts with all the theatrical flair of a Pulp song but ends up sounding hollow and trifling void of any true emotion. The beat is repetitious and simple, and Rosenthal sings off-key. His ill-timed banter sounds like that of Arcanta or The Sleep of Reason and is more painful than beautiful, boring the listener to death until the welcomed end of the song. The sixth track, "D ream s," pro­ vides a re fresh in g break in the album. Feuer's voice is meshed into itself in a quick and flighty song a la Dead Can D ance's Lisa Gerrard. However the song is only a short­ lived reprieve and fails to save the album from its own empty medioc­ rity. Black Tape for a Blue Girl has always been a creative and defini­ tive band in the Gothic genre. Their music, as well as Rosenthal's Pro­ jekt label, has helped Gothic music by leaps and bounds to become a more united and tangible sound. However, Aflame fails, resulting in a dull album. Full of hyper Goth­ ic m usings of little or no artistic value, this album is not very repre­ sentative of the creativity and ele­ gance Black Tape is capable of cre­ ating. — Daznd Greenfield There is a healthier alternative to A Non-Diet Weight Management Program A nine week course provides you with tools for making meaningful and permanent changes in your lifestyle.

Domingo offers cash for opera singers ■ NEW YORK — P lacido D om ingo is looking for the next opera star. The tenor announced Tues­ day that Operalia, his annual com petition for young opera singers, will be held April 2-12 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. More than 500 singers under age 30 have already sent tapes to Operalia headquarters in Paris. Three judges will listen to the tapes and choose 40 singers who will sing in the competition. F irst, second an d th ird prizes are $50,000, $25,000 and $15,000. The final competition will be a public concert. Domingo, 57, said he started Operalia "because I believe in supporting young people and finding tomorrow's singers. So m any sin g ers have a to u g h time to get on a stage." — Compiled from Associated Press reports Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde runs through Jan. 31 at ACC's Rio Grande Campus. Wilde: A man of many words, pleasures Continued from page 13 about W ilde's many "friendships" with younger boys, leading to the next two trials in which W ilde is accused of committing the "grossest indecency" w ith num erous young men. Despite Wilde's homosexuali­ ty and alleged pedophilia, the play succeeds in m aking it q uite clear that it was n ot W ilde's sexuality that was put on trial. Rather, it was his art. David Stahl delivers an entertain­ ing and likable portrayal of Oscar Wilde, bringing the colorful charac­ ter to life in such a way that even th o se w ho are u n fa m ilia r w ith Wilde's work will sympathize with his downfall. Paul Norton delivers a deliberate­ ly over-dramatic yet satisfying per­ formance as the stereotypical Eng­ lish professor. His character p ro ­ vides a tasteful dose of comic relief while presenting some interesting lessons to the audience. O v erall, th e m o st im p re ssiv e aspect of Gross Indecency is that it successfully entertains as well as ed ucates, so m eth in g W ilde took great pride in during his lifetime. Audience m em bers will r.o doubt leave th e th e a te r w ith a firm er understanding of W ilde's philoso­ phy on aesthetics as well as his liter­ ature. In addition, the play presents a stellar com m entary on society's intolerance of revolutionary artistic thinkers. D irector Ev L u n n in g Jr.'s adm irable creativity m akes Cross Indecency anything but your typical courtroom dram a. The courtroom becomes a stage to express Oscar W ilde's philosophies on aesthetics an d m o rality . The screen in the b a c k g ro u n d co n stan tly d isp lay s various quotes from W ilde's work which provide an innovative addi­ tion to the simple setting. Cross Indecency: The Three Trials o f Oscar Wilde appropriately both has opened and will close the city-wide Oscar Wilde festival, which includes the films Wilde, The Picture o f Dorian Gray, the opera Salome, and several discussion groups on W ilde's art. The play is sure to raise interest in the life as well as the literature of the most quoted man in the English lan g u ag e . This p ro d u c tio n also makes for an entertaining evening at the theater, something that Oscar Wilde's own plays have been doing for centuries. CAMPUS LOCATION 472-FAST S.

Dreams: Bening shines in lead Continued from page 13 screen w ith all so rts of w a te r imagery and blood-red references, adding intensity to all the chaos and com m otion ram pant throughout. He and Jordan pour on the mood and style as thick as molasses, yet somehow that works in favor of In Dream s. In fact, just about every­ thing in the film is in excess, includ­ ing Downey Jr.'s over-the-top per­ formance as C laire's nemesis. His performance has all the nuance and subtlety of an atom bomb, but when h e 's called to fight o n e-o n -o n e against Bening (not an easy chal- lenge for most actors), he holds his own nicely.
