Local croup ‘Música Latina’ reviewed ENTERTAINMENT UNIVERSITY Drag renovations postponed again ,|e#T 4VAIMBU: COPY ^ aily T exan Serving the community of The University of Texas at Austin since 1900 Wednesday, June 25, 2CX)3 Supreme Court ruling affects universities across the nation ■MM Admissions process could change at Texas universities By Loml Kriel Daily Texan Staff Universities around Texas are contemplating what the Supreme Court's ruling on the University of Michigan's affirmative action law suit will mean their admissions process. for Texas public universities have been unable to use race as a factor in admissions since 19%, when 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that any consideration of race or ethnicity for the purposes of achieving a diverse student body is not a compelling interest under the 14th Amendment. A fter the Suprem e C o urt's ruling M onday u pholding the use of race as one of m any factors consid­ ered in adm is­ sions, this might change. "All I can tell you is there's a lot of thought on this," said Lane Stephenson, spokesman for Texas A&M University. A statement from Texas A&M President Robert M . Gates said his university would look to the attor­ ney general for an interpretation. Texas A&M Student Govern­ ment President Matt Josefy called the ruling an "incredible oppor­ tunity" to look at appropriate ways to bring diversity to cam­ pus, while being fair to all stu­ dents and remaining mindful of what would be appropriate for A&M culture. Sally Post, spokeswoman for Texas Tech University, said the school is taking a "wait and see" attitude. to Currently, students not auto­ matically admitted to Texas Tech are holistically reviewed in a m anner the similar U niversity's procedure. These students are placed into a review group, said Stephanie Hays, the associate vice president for enrollment management at Texas Tech. Factors such as extra-curric­ ular activities and economic background are taken into con­ sideration. H ays anticipated that race could now be considered along with these factors. Texas Tech Student Govern­ m ent President Jeremy Brown raised some concern about using See ADMISSIONS, page 2 Christen Flack (with arm up in foreground) is cheering on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Monday. In two split deci­ sions, the Supreme Court ruled that minority applicants may be given an edge when applying for graduate admis­ sion to universi­ ties but limited the role race can play in the selec­ tion of undergrad­ uate students.

Cook Legal Research Building Monday afternoon. The university won a split decision victory at the Supreme Court in an affirmative action case, which said the law school’s system of giving preferences to minority students in their adm is­ sions policy was legal, but it ruled that the undergraduate admissions system of giving extra points to minority students was illegal.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of affirmative action policies, at the graduate and law school level, Monday. Associated Press Other 5th Circuit universities keep admissions policies By Karin Jacobson Daily Texan Staff While universities in Texas celebrate their newfound freedom from the 1996 Hopwood v. Texas decision that banned race-based adm issions policies, some schools in Louisiana and Mississippi are feeling validated. Like Texas, the two states were subject to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal's con­ troversial Hopwood ruling. But because schools in Louisiana and Mississippi were bound by previous desegregation court orders that trumped Hopwood, many uni­ versities there have continued to use race as a factor in admissions. "We're doing just as the court recommended yes­ terday," said Mark Emmert, chancellor at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. "All the initial indications are that [the ruling] is clearly a reaffirmation of the way we're doing business." In accordance with a 10-year 1994 dis­ trict court settlem ent required Louisiana universities to mitigate the long­ term effects of segregation, LSU considers that many diversity factors when an applicant is not automatically admitted on the basis of grades and standardized test scores. Race is one of these, Emmert said. LSU's law school follows a similar pro­ cedure, said Paul Baier, a law professor. Monday's Supreme Court ruling allow­ ing the use of racial preferences in college admissions also w on't have much effect at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, said Dan Rosenfield, dean of enrollment man­ agement. In compliance with the same desegrega­ tion settlement, Louisiana-Lafayette tries to grant 15 percent of its admissions to appli­ cants who don't meet regular admissions See UNIVERSITIES, page 5 w w w .dailytexanonline.com MMM UT law relies on donors for help Private donors give scholarship money marked for minorities By Delaney Hall Daily Texan Staff After the Hopwood v. Texas decision in 1996, which banned the consideration of race in admissions and financial aid deci­ sions, the UT Law School began to rely increasingly on private donors to help fund scholarships earmarked for minority students. Thanks to generosity of pri­ vate, independ­ contribu­ ent tions coupled with intensified recruitment, the minority popu­ lation at the law school slowly began to climb again after a sud­ den drop following the Hopwood decision, said Michael Sharlot, who was dean of the law school at the time of the decision. "We had a very' rigorous affir­ mative action program for more than a decade before Hopwood, we were enrolling and graduating from 20 to 40 African-Americans and 40 to 60 Hispanic students each year. If you take those two groups combined, we were grad­ uating mom than any other law the United States," school Sharlot said. "The r e s u l t s of Hopwood were devastating to our enrollment. We undertook to try to find other ways to attract minority students vv ithout using race-conscious affirmative action. It was enormously successful." in The law school relied heavily on minority alumni to recruit for the school, in addition to raising for minority-i riented funds scholarships, saici Monica Ingram, assistant dean of admis­ sions for the school. "We are very dependent on our alumni. We try to get our alums of color to come back and act as role models for our current and prospective students. And their numbers aren't large but they grow each year," Ingram said. Former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, a graduate of the law school, along with Sim. Rodney Ellis, D-l louston, has been one of the most influential supporters of the school. "I'm honored to help," Kirk said. See DONORS, page 5 Capital Metro, city planning to go forward with light rail INSIDE Plan includes reducing car lanes on Guadalupe Street, rapid buses By Lilly Rockwell Daily Texan Staff With or without the approval of Austin voters, Capital Metro and the city of Austin are planning the future of Austin public transportation — an amalgam of new technology including light rail, commuter rail and rapid buses. Despite Austin voters rejecting a controversial light-rail proposal in 2000 by a 1-percent margin, Capital Metro discussed plans for proposed light- rail stops at the intersections of Guadalupe and 29th and 38th streets at a federally funded transit station planning meeting Tuesday. Because of increased traffic congestion and a pro­ jected population increase of 2 million people in Austin in the next 30 years, a combination rail and bus system is necessary, said Emlea Chanslor, a Capital Metro spokesperson. Rob Smith, the director of strategic planning for Capital Metro, said detailed light-rail and com- muter-rail planning will hopefully increase support for it when the time comes for another election on the matter. "A lot of people felt they didn't know enough details," said Smith, referring to the failure of the 2000 light-rail vote. At the meeting, Capital Metro and city of Austin workers discussed the proposed light-rail line that will run from Braker Lane to downtown Austin, hit­ ting the University, the Capitol complex and the downtown business district along the way.

Bellmont houses remain until investigation finishes Decision to preserve homes or demolish will come in late September By Stuart Reeves Daily Texan Staff stonemason. Many of his other stone projects can be seen throughout the neighborhood, most notably at his former resi­ dence on 31st Street, which is now the home of John Cogdell, an electrical and computer engi­ neering professor. Four Depression-era homes that link Washington Square to the University will stand a while longer. In an 8-1 vote, the city of A ustin's Historic Landm ark Commission voted to suspend the demolition of four one-bed­ room cottages built by former UT Athletic Director Theo Bellmont, pending the results of an investigation into their histor­ ical significance. Larry Paul Manley, the owner of the property, has plans to demolish the homes and build a seven-unit luxury apartm ent complex in their place. Members of the Heritage Neighborhood Association, includ­ ing several UT professors, spoke before the commission arguing for both the historical and architectur­ al significance of the homes. UT alumnus and guest speaker Mark Perlmutter presented a slide show depicting the involve­ ment of Bellmont with the neigh­ borhood and its connection to the University. Each of the small cot­ features stonework by tages Bellmont, who was an amateur Simon Atkinson, an architec­ ture professor and 22-year resi­ dent of the neighborhood, said the objections of the community were not anti-development but the "under­ about protecting standing of a neighborhood." Atkinson described Washing­ ton Square, the street on which two of the four Bellmont homes are located, as a walking neigh­ borhood. He added the placement of the four houses, two facing Washington Square and the other two facing 31st Street, is clever in its design because it cre­ ates a hidden oasis beneath the cover of the street's aging oak and pecan trees. that designate In late September, the neigh­ borhood association will pres­ ent a plan to the City Council that w ould the Bellmont houses as historic landm arks. Should the homes receive this designation, Manley will have to consider alterna­ tives to his current developm ent plans.

The Daity Texan understands the importance of complete and accurate coverage. While human error is inevitable, The Daily Texan's corrections policy, which runs on page two every day in the print edition, is stnctly upheld. — Sincerely, P Ryan Petkoff Managing Editor, The Daily Texan In the story, "Admissions hinge on AG's discretion," two state ments attributed to Monica Ingram, the assistant dean of law school admissions, were done so in error. • Ingram did not turn to Douglas Laycock for his interpretation of the Supreme Court opinions that were handed down on Monday, as described in the article. To clarify, based on a telephone converse tion conducted Tuesday, Ingram said though she may possibly petition Laycock, who is an asso­ ciate dean at the UT School of Law, for his interpretation of the opinion, she had not done so as of press time Monday. • In the next paragraph of the same article, a statement that described undergraduate admis­ sions at the University and how the court's decision would change them was attributed to Ingram. The statement should have been attributed to Bruce Walker, the vice provost for under graduate admissions. Walker, the former director of admissions, pri marily focuses on the undergradu­ ate policies. Walker was unavail able for comment Tuesday, but interview notes from two reporters confirmed an attribution to Walker. • Finally, pages four and five of Tuesday's edition consisted almost entirely of graphics explaining the history of affirma­ tive action. A technical problem with the printing press, which is owned and operated by The Daily Texan and Texas Student Publications, distorted the colors on both pages. The Texan regrets the errors.

The project includes plans to remove left turn bays on 21st Street and right turn bays on 24th Street, add more lights and make accom­ modations for bike lanes on both sides of of the street. UAP also wants to widen the pedestrian . . area and plant a line of trees on the west side. "When [the project] is done, primarily, there will be better interaction between drivers and pedestrians," Norman said. "Guadalupe will be safer and more pleasant for pedestrians, as well as drivers." The project was put on hold about a year ago when the Public Works Department found an SBC Communications underground utility duct where trees were sup­ posed to be planted. While negotiations go on, the city plans to proceed with the Lamar project. The Public Works _ Department plmis to fully recon­ struct Lamar Boulevard from Town Lake to 24th Street and upgrade the 1,700 linear feet of waterline beneath the roadway between 12th and 24th streets. Guadalupe project manager Renee Orr said after the SBC util­ ity was discovered, about 20 holes were drilled to evaluate the exact location and elevation of the duct. The city has been work­ ing with SBC to determine if they can reach a compromise. "There is talk of possibly relocat­ ing completely to miss the facility," Orr said. "But we're still trying to come up with something that will work and that will be convenient." In a letter to neighborhood and organization leaders, Michael Curtis, project manager from Public Works, said the city will begin working Lamar or Boulevard September, and the project is expected to be completed at the end of 2004. on in August "Hopefully, the problem [with SBC] will all be resolved by the time the Lamar project is fin­ ished, so we can go ahead and get started on this," Norman said.

The museum will hold an exhibition in January 2004 on the creek's biological diversity, said Edward Theriot, museum direc­ tor. Besides various multimedia presentations, microscopes will be set up for visitors to observe specimens collected from the creek, he said. "[The Web site] allows people to explore life in the backyard," Theriot said. Prior to construction earlier this year, several unsuccessful projects were attempted in order Janssen said at this stage, the project is focusing on finding appropriate plants for the new banks. He said once the planting is done, the project will recruit student volunteers to water the plants and weed out unwanted ones such as poison ivy. The city of Austin will maky recommendations on which plants to grow. "The long-term goal is to cre­ ate a user-friendly environment where students can hang out," Janssen said.

By encouraging employees to retire with the University is trying to reduce staff layoffs. incentive, the Marsha Correira, a senior administrative associate in UHS with about 16 years' experience, is one of six who plan to retire because of the incentive. "I was going to work three years more," Correira said, but she changed her mind when she found out that the University offered the voluntary program. Other UHS staff members are leaving for advanced study. Amanda Tinsley, an administra­ tive assistant who has worked in UHS for three years, will leave her position to attend medical school in early July. Four licensed vocational nurses are also leaving to continue their education. The vacancies are a cause of headaches for UHS, which has had to deal with a nationwide nursing shortage, Overslaugh said. "Only three applied for LVN," Overslaugh said. "It is hard to fill." Overslaugh explained that the difficulty comes from the insuffi­ cient number of graduates from nursing schools and the delay in obtaining Texas medical licenses. UHS will keep the job openings posted online until it finds the best applicants, Overslaugh said. The Sports Medicine Clinic also needs new staff members. All of its four doctors have left or are plan­ ning to leave in the near future. Three of them have gone into pri­ vate practice, and one will go to another university to teach. The openings for sports medi­ cine doctors have been posted on job site since March, the UT Overslaugh said. UHS has only hired one so far and still needs two, she said. Overslaugh, however, isn't wor­ ried. She said the University has a variety of sports teams, which makes it attractive to professionals who specialize in sports treatment. The fact that some of the staff are in nine-month positions also accounts for UHS's staff shortages. Overslaugh said the nine-month staff works from mid-August to mid-May. During the summer, they are out of work. Applicants for the positions are being interviewed, according to Beth Bushey, assistant director of UHS. She said she hoped the process of hiring new staff can be finished before the University's regular session starts in August.

"Gruffer [one of the recent Supreme Court cases] may be seen as a silver bullet, a philoso­ pher's stone. People may think that it will solve the problem of minority representation and that private individuals may feel like they don't need to do anything. 1 do think there is a danger of that," Sharlot said. Financial contributions from law firms like Vinson & Elkins, and mentoring programs set up through the Texas Appleseed Foundation, have been vital, Sharlot said. Vinson & Elkins, which repre­ sented the University in the Hopwood case, established the Vinson & Elkins Scholar program in 1990, with the intent of increas­ ing the number of minority appli­ cants to the law school. school The firm identifies inner-city high from Houston, Dallas and Austin inter­ ested in legal careers, selects six and gives mem a four-year schol­ students arship to college, said Yolanda Chavez Knull, partner at Vinson & Elkins. The firm has spent just more than $500,000 on the effort, she said. "It's an inspiring example of what private resources can do," Sharlot said. A group in Austin, the Texas Appleseed Foundation, estab­ lished a similar program in 1999. The One-to-One Project targets students in community college, identifies them as potential lawyers and then provides them with mentors to guide them along the way, said Amy Loar, director of the program. "The project was started in direct response to the Hopwood decision," Loar said. "We've set it up as a support system for stu­ dents from under-represented populations." The program provides stu­ dents with two mentors, including one of a similar back­ ground, as well as career coun­ seling, educational planning, academic advising and paid internships, Loar said. UNIVERSITIES, FROM 1 criteria. The university tries to ensure that two-thirds of those 15 percent are minorities, Rosenfield said. "We are very delighted by what seems to be a decision that recognizes the right, even the obligation, of universities to have diverse classes," Rosen­ field said. The Supreme Court decision does provide clarity for the future of Louisiana admissions. The state's desegregation ruling is due to expire in 2005, at which time universities there would have had to defer to Hopwood if not for Monday's ruling, said Emmert. "We were in a bit of a quandary not knowing where admissions were going to go," he said. "But the court essentially said, 'Keep doing what you're doing.'" Samuel M. Davis, dean of the University of Mississippi's School of Law, applauded the Supreme Court's decision as an endorsement for the school's admissions policies. "It ratifies and validates what "We were in a bit of a quandary not knowing where admissions were going to go.” Mark Emniart, Chancellor at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge the University of Mississip School of Law has been doii for the past six years, name considering race as a fact among many other factors making admissions decisioi ... and in attempting to remec the present effects of past di crimination," he said.

Holyfield, 40, is determined to win back all three heavyweight belts, but when terms couldn’t be arranged for a fight with Jones he decided to take on Toney. Holyfield resisted demands of promoter Don King for future fights. King owns promotional rights to Jones’ first events of the WBA crown. ‘They tried to take advantage of me, and I won’t let anybody do that,’ Holyfield said at Tuesday’s news conference. “They tried to tie me into a longterm contract, and I won’t do that.” Hasek pondering return to NHL after brief hiatus DETROIT — Dominik Hasek is considering a return to the NHL and has spoken with the Detroit Red Wings about possibly ending his retirement and rejoining the team. The 38yearold goaltender and representatives of the Red Wings met in Europe recently, Roman Hozak, the player’s press represen­ tative, told The Associated Press Tuesday from the Czech Republic. The star Czech player retired after winning the Stanley Cup in 2002 with Detroit. Detroit general manager Ken Holland said he has been contact­ ed by Hasek’s agent, Rich Winter. “While we have had discussions, at this time, no decision has been made by Dominik,’ Holland said in a statement ‘They continue to talk about it, and we’ll see how it goes,’ Winter said. Detroit holds an option on Hasek for next season worth $8 million. If the Red Wings don’t exercise the option, he would become an unre­ stricted free agent. Detroit signed unrestricted free agent goalie Curtis Joseph last summer to a threeyear, $24 mil­ lion contract. ’If Dominik comes back it proba­ bly will be a sticky situation,’ Holland told radio station WJR. ‘Obviously, a lot of teams right now are looking for goaltenders. At the same time, money is a real issue around the league.

Padre Island, which stretches 110 miles along the Texas Gulf Coast, is home to the 80-mile long Padre Island National Seashore, part of the national park system. B N P Petroleum in Corpus Christi began its first d rilling project on the island in December 2001, and the Sierra Club has since made efforts to stop it. In April 2002, the Sierra Club filed suit against Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton and the National Park Service, arguing the that N P S had violated Endangered Species Act by open­ ing the park to drilling without taking necessary precautions to protect the endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtle. for Judge John D. Rainey, of the U.S. D istrict Court the Southern District of Texas, found in his April 18 ruling that parties named in the lawsuit were taking appropriate steps to protect the Kemp's Ridley sea turtle without damaging the environment. "W e have filed an appeal ask­ ing them to review the matter because we don't think the deci­ sion was all that great," said Fred Richardson, a spokesman for the Sierra Club. "They didn't provide a clear reason." Richardson said large, 18- wheeler trucks that carry drilling equipment and pipe segments 15 miles down the beach are harm­ ful to the endangered turtles because the tracks could either leave crushed nests or sand that is too compressed for turtles to lay eggs. Padre Donna Shaver, U.S. Geological Survey field research station leader, said no turtles have been harmed due to the drilling. Island “We don’t think it’s asking too much to keep our parks for future generations.” Fred Richardson, Sierra Club spokesman is Shaver responsible for retrieving turtles from the beach if spotted by a drill site worker or beach-goer. Federal guide­ lines require that the turtles are reported. "A ll our personnel take a class and are trained thoroughly in tur­ tle identification," said Bowen Waters, B N P Petroleum presi­ dent. " If they find one that's nest­ ing they w ill divert traffic so it's not disturbed, then call Donna Shaver, and she w ill come imme­ diately." Waters said under the strict federal guidelines issued in last year's ruling, the company can easily explore and develop the oil and gas on the island while still protecting the environment. But the Sierra Club is also con­ cerned about the visual quality of the island. "Im agine being on the beach with your fam ily and having big trucks driving up and down the beach," said Walker. Because the state owns most of the mineral rights for B N P s wells on Padre Island, about 20 percent of royalties go to the state's Permanent School Fund. Based on a U.S. Geological Survey study, the Permanent School Fund stands to lose more than $107 m illion in royalties, rentals and bonuses if drilling does not occur in Padre Island National Seashore. The appeal filed by the Sierra Club calls for a formal biological review in order to ensure safety for w ildlife on Padre Island. The group is also conducting a peti­ tion drive in support of the review. The petitions w ill be mailed to President Bush and every member of the Texas Congressional Delegation "W e don't think it's asking too much to keep our parks for future generations," said Richardson. Researchers test preventive car accident technology Smart intersections will warn drivers of potential collisions By Leslie Miller Associated Press M cLEA N , Va. — A car speeds toward an intersection, about to collide with a van Sensors spot the car about to run the red light, and a signal rushes to the car, triggering a high-pitched beep and a red light on the dashboard that says, emphatically, "STO P." This is the smart intersection of the future, and federal highway officials believe it w ill prevent thousands of traffic accidents every year. Test drivers used the nation's first prototype of the system Tuesday to show what happens when a smart car meets a smart intersection. M uch testing remains to be done and drivers probably won't start seeing the technology for another five years, highway offi­ cials said. The newly paved intersection at the Federal Highway Adm ini­ stration's H ig hw ay Research Center includes traffic signals, an advanced traffic controller sys­ tem and two roads from nowhere converging in the middle of the agency's office campus in this Washington suburb. "It's not a 'You can stop w orry­ ing, the car w ill drive itself,"' said Jeffrey Paniati, associate adminis­ trator for Federal Highway. "It's a 'W e'll help you drive.'" The technology isn't all that new, highway officials said. Already on the road are smart cars and trucks that alert somno­ lent drivers, call for help in an accident and even take over some of the driving. W hat is new is behavioral research into how people interact with traffic signs and warning systems in their cars. Engineers are experimenting with bells, speech-related devices and systems that make a car shake as if it's driving over a rumble strip, Paniati said. An elderly driver in a Lincoln Continental on a country road might respond to different stim­ uli than an 18 year old in a Camaro on prom night. "W e're looking at all the options to find out when to give warnings and who responds to what," Paniati said. Engineers, for example, are studying the ideal pulse rate for a flashing "N o left turn" sign to activate neurons in a d river's brain, said James Misener, an engineer with the University of California at Berkeley. Here's how the sign works at the test intersection: As D river A begins to make a left turn, D river B starts to go straight through the intersection from the left. Their movement is transmitted through sensors in the pavement to an advanced traffic controller, which figures out that D river A shouldn't be making that left turn yet and acti­ vates the eye-level street sign. Transportation officials say smart vehicles, combined with smart intersections, could signifi­ cantly reduce traffic accidents. "W hen the two systems start talking to each other, we can exponentially save lives," said M ary Peters, Federal Highway administrator. Driver error is the leading cause of the 6 million crashes in the United States every year. About 4.5 million of those fall into three categories: 30 percent are rear-end collisions, 20 percent are run-off- the-road crashes and about 25 per­ cent happen at intersectioas. The Bush administration wants to spend $1.7 billion over the next six years on intelligent trans­ portation systems, 20 percent more than the past six. The aim is to get the new tech­ nologies into the marketplace and lower their cost so everyone can use them, Peters said. Mercedes-Benz already sells passenger cars with rear-end col­ lision avoidance systems, which take partial control of the vehicle Adele Starr/Associated Press This dial, placed in a car a& part of a warning system that alerts drivers if they are drifting from their lane or approaching a curb at too high a speed, is part of the sm art car technology unveiled by the Federal Highway Administration in McLean, Va., Tuesday. to maintain a safe distance using radar, sensors and a global posi­ tioning system map. Commercial trucks have the systems, known as "adaptive cruise control," and General Motors is expected to sell the systems on some of next year's luxury models. "If it's starting in the Cadillac, that's fine," Peters said. "Like digital watches and calculators, the cost w ill come down." ANNOUNCEMENTS!
