As of the deadline, the office had received approxi­ mately 14,000 applications com­ pared to about 12,000 last year dur­ ing die same time period. "We still have until March 1 to col­ lect applications," Garza said. "Until , then, we will not be able to tell what kind of increase we will see." Out of 15,442 applicants last year, 10,059 w ere adm itted. As of Thursday, the office of admissions had received applications from 14,137 applicants, 7,339 of whom have bean admitted. Vick does not anticipate a large increase in enroll­ ment, though. "We are going to aim for the same size freshman dass as fall 1995," Vick said. "We will yield and adjust foe size according to our plans. We will try to stabilize University enrollment at 48,000." Vide added that in case of a dra­ matic increase in applicants, the pre­ requisites will not change, but foe review process may see some changes. Texas A AM University has not seen an increase in applicants as noticeable as the University's. Gary Engelau, executive director of admis­ sions and records at A AM, said the number of applications the school received increased by 50 percent between 1990 and 1995. This vear, however, there has been an increase of only 1 percent from last year. "Since our big growth period, we have not seen a similar increase," Engelau said. Some believe that a successful foot­ ball season at a university could con­ tribute to an increase in student applicants. Vick agreed that one rea­ son for the U niversity's increase could be the Longhorns' first-place finish in the Southwest Conference. After the successful 1995 football season at Northwestern University, foe school saw a 20 percent increase in applicants. Northwestern admis­ sions director Carol Lunkertheimer said although she does not think foe increase was a direct result of foe football team's success, interest in foe university is up as a result of press coverage. "The press said that it is amazing that foe team was winning because of how’ difficult foe academic demands are," Lunkenheimer said. "We got a lot of positive press. They kept men­ tioning foe academic vigor," Engelau said. "When your team is rated, you get in a media pop and you are liable to increase applications," Engelau said. "You don't usually see sustained growth, but with a little luck, you'll hold."

"The Tort Claims Act specifically applies to a state employee's use of an automobile," Kaminski added. The Tort Claims Act in its current form has been in effect since 1985, he said. Though they said their main goal is to improve foe safety of some UT travel polides, the parents of Justin Wilson added they are outraged with foe state law. "The University will hide behind the skirts of the state of Texas. Looking at it from a business angle, they are operating under a double­ standard [and] th a t's w here my frustration is," Tom Wilson said. Wilson, who has developed safe­ ty programs for several large Texas companies for many years, said foe concept of sovereign immunity is unjust. "The state of Texas would immediately go to a company in an oil spill and sue for hundreds of thousands of dollars," but no one can sue foe state in. that fashion, he said. The University would suffer "no consequences except [that] they say they're sorry," Wilson added. Regardless of sovereign immuni­ ty and other broad legal issues, Wilson added he is outraged the University has not yet reimbursed his family for Justin's tuition. "M aybe som etim e in the next century the University will write a check," Wilson said. But rep resen tativ es from the University said foe matter is being resolved. Kaminski said the University is in the process of returning Ju stin 's tuition to foe Wilsons, and two stu­ dents involved in foe wreck already have received their tuition back. The Rev. Bill Elliott of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church said he thinks the council is trying to bribe the city's reli­ gious organizations into taking sole responsibility of housing homeless peo­ ple with foe exemptions. "They're trying to make the churches look like scapegoats when w e're already doing 99 percent of the work," Elliott said. "You can't keep dumping your responsibilities an the churches." The Rev. Yoshi Kaneda of the Congregational Church of Austin said he is afraid the money the church would save by joining a coali­ tion might not be worth foe effort " If it takes a lot of paperwork, then I d on 't w ant to do th a t," Kaneda said.

Veronica Vargas Associate Editor 1 VIEWPOINT Talke a hike A Campus Master Plan proposes to limit on-campus traffic as part of its goals. While most hail the proposal, there is some dissent, particularly among faculty members threatened with the loss of convenient parking. Such critics demand alternatives like additional shuttle services for the tremendous walking distances. Such criticism is not only misguid­ ed, but short-sighted as well. Most critics among the faculty are quick to point out not only the inconvenience to themselves but, in an unselfish display of courtesy, the strain on students. But students already have to hike to classes from the few parking lots not already converted to faculty spaces. The Master Plan proposal does not significantly decrease student parking, but may actually increase its availability in additional garages. And with the exception of parking spaces for disabled students, parking in the bowels of campus is unnecessary. In the long run, less traffic will increase safety for pedestrians and add to the feeling of being "on campus" rather than simulating con­ gested downtown intersections. Distinguishing the University as a place of learning is a good idea, even if we have to walk a little. — Veronica Vargas Egg in the face When soldiers are braving dangers in Bosnia, when the nation­ al debt is soaring, when crime is rampant, and when the fam­ ily is disintegrating, the media are focused on the really important questions — the price of eggs and milk.

Continuing to display its uncanny ability to home in on the most trivial issues, the news media descended to a new nadir Wednesday, when an Associated Press reporter asked Alexander if he knew the price of eggs or milk. The intent of the question was to demonstrate that Alexander, who touts his "outsider" image, was not familiar with the world of "real" Americans. It was a pitiful, pathetic little question with no substantive value. The political ignorance of U.S. citizens can be attributed in part to the media's unstinting aversion to complex issues. They avoid them like a leper. Monitoring milk prices has scarcely any connection with presiden­ tial performance. Many Americans who shop each week at Randall's would be equally baffled by dairy prices. The media obviously intends to transform the presidential race into a trivia contest. If knowledge of the dairy market correlates with great leadership, perhaps we should allow the all-time champion of the Price is Right an automatic trip to the Oval Office. Or we could select the Republican presidential nominee by allowing Dole, Buchanan, and Alexander to face off on Jeopardy — with the sagacious AP reporter who asked the dairy question to Alexander as game show host. Maybe we could find a "real" American to compete as well. One can imagine the following dialogue on the show: AP reporter: "Asking Lamar Alexander what the price of milk is."

HEADED óTRAIG UT F O R A — Tex p i Rg I/, -------------------- i j V Student Cash Would TEXPIRG be good for UT? Organization can empower students ¡ SG referendum flawed, misleading PONT ► T!EXPIRG (Texas Interest Public R e s e a r c h Group) works under one basic tenet — stu­ dents care enough about student and community issues to act effectively. At the university level, modem education encourages us to envision a better world and participate actively to shape it. The University can provide a framework of knowl­ edge; TEXPIRG can then serve as the tool of empowerment by pooling students' time, effort and ideas. It will be a tool with which we can cre­ ate better public policies in educa­ tion, financial aid, consumer safety, social justice, government, the envi­ ronment and many other issues that concern us as students. On other American campuses, PIRGs have labored for far-reaching change in all areas of student and community life. Through PIRG, stu­ dents nationwide have achieved vic­ tories of broad significance in areas such as: ■ Student financial aid — in 1995, U.S. PIRG led the defense of student aid, saving $5.8 billion dollars from the Republican budget ax. ■ Consumer safety standards — In 1985, CALPIRG (California) won passage of a law which bands the use of toxic art supplies in elemen­ tary schools and requires improved labeling. ■ Government — in 1994, PIRGs in Oregon, Missouri, and Montana won ballot initiatives limiting contri­ butions to state political campaigns to $100. ■ Hunger and homelessness — WISPIRG recently (Wisconsin) raised more than $20,000 and coor­ dinated more than 1,000 volunteers to fight hunger in Madison. ■ The environment — in 1990, PIRG attorneys helped persuade Congress to pass tough provisions in the Clean Air Act, which would A lth e a C hen GUEST COLUMNIST cut acid rain emissions by nearly 10 million tons, control 191 air toxins, and strengthen anti-smog stan­ dards. Students will tackle these issues with help from a full-time profes­ sional staff. This resource of profes­ sional staff distinguishes TEXPIRG from other student activist groups because it adds experience and guidance to dynamic student enthu­ siasm and energy. The staff will not define student goals. Rather, they will help with campaign logistics and educational efforts. Moreover, when TEXPIRG is well established, the staff can educate students by offering internships for course credit. What the staff cannot do for us is replace our own efforts as active, caring students. TEXPIRG depends on students who care and will act on their concerns. But TEX­ PIRG cannot work with apathy. Those who do nothing declare that students have no role in shaping either the community around them or the quality of their own lives. TEXPIRG therefore must have widespread student participation in order to act upon the dormant stu­ dent vision of reform. Funding pro­ vides one significant form of sup­ port; the slight fee increase — 55 cents per credit hour, voluntarily allocated to TEXPIRG by pledge — will allow it to hire the staff so vital to its success as an agent of change. Signing our petition and voting for the TEXPRIG option in the Feb. 29-Mar. 1 referendum will empower students. Time and energy are like­ wise valuable. By contributing, stu­ dents declare that they care enough to play a vital role in changing our world for the better. Chen is a junior in Plan II and English. COUNTER- On Tuesday Feb. 6, the UT Student Gov­ ernment authorized a referendum to be presented to the stu­ dent body during the spring elections. This would create a stu­ dent fee for an orga­ nization named Texas Public Inter­ est Research Group. organization In the ballot question TEXPIRG is described as, "a student-directed, non-profit that enables students to work with pro­ fessional staff on issues such as democracy, student aid, hunger and homelessness, the environ­ ment, and consumer protection." Nowhere is TEXPIRG's role as a lobby and cam paign participant made explicit. The issue of the new fee (55 cents per semester hour) is also confus­ ing. The referendum describes it as a "volu ntary" option; how ever there is no way for a student to recover the money. TEXPIRG is part of a whole series of PIRGs started by Ralph Nader beginning in the 1970s. A number flourish off mandatory fees from students who may not agree with either the groups' views or their tactics. Other PIRGs operate with a "neg­ ative check-off" scheme: here a stu­ dent would not have to pay only if he makes the initiative to gain his refund. Some PIRGs use a "positive check-off" method where a student must give his permission before his fee money can go toward political activism. The TEXPIRG proposal mixes in of all of these. Supporters of the ref­ erendum say that students would sign pledge cards before their money would go to TEXPIRG; then their support would continue "for the duration of their academ ic career." If a student does not sign a pledge card or decides to discontin- R obert Landrum GUEST C O LU M NIST ue sending his money to TEXPIRG, his fees will be spent by the Student Services Fee Com m ittee: There would be a fee for everyone. The paid staffers of TEXPIRG need only sign up their quota of incoming freshman, and devote the rest of their time to spending the money. Since no funds would be refunded, many will find redirect­ ing their money cumbersome and will not bother to investigate TEX­ PIRG's activities. If TEXPIRG maintains the posi­ tive check-off mode, the question just this becomes, "W hy should group enjoy this privilege?" Would it not be more logical to fund the College Republicans and the Uni versity Democrats, the traditional political groups of our society? How about the Libertarians? I have had direct experience with PIRG. During the runoffs of the Special Senate Election in 1993, a representative of the group came to the door. This fellow produced a pamphlet with Bob Krueger's pic­ ture and encouraged me to vote for his environmental stance. Moving his finger to a picture of Kay Bailey Hutchison, he informed me not to vote for her. She was bad. All this highlights the fundamen­ tal flaw of the PIRG program, which relies so much on cushy stu­ dent fee funding: An organization not having to promote itself in gain­ ing finances will be less adept at advancing any issue. No one should accept the referen­ dum until it contains at least a pos­ itive check-off guarantee, and even then careful examination should be given to any organization request­ ing its own funding fee. Landrum is a graduate represen­ tative in the Student Government. FIRING LINE Column inaccurate Although I am pleased to see that The Texan has addressed the question of the TEXPIRG referen­ dum, I have been extremely disap­ pointed with Mark Levin's misrep­ resentation of facts in his recent editorial column on the subject. In a previous column, he criti­ cized the Student Government for somehow being responsible for the tragic death of a UT Debate Team member. A correction had to be printed the next day to remedy Levin's flagrant error. So once again, someone must make up for Levin's failure to do his home­ work. First of all, the Student Govern­ ment is not pushing or tricking stu­ dents into a new fee. The reason that the TEXPIRG question will be on the ballot is simple: (1) The Stu­ dent Government was approached with a measure to set up a TEX­ PIRG chapter at the University. (2) Rather than making a decision for students on such an important issue, the SG decided to do the most democratic thing possible: Let the students decide. As chair of the Student Service Fee Committee, I know that I will vote for whatever students pass. Second, excess funds would not go to the SG, but rather to the fee committee to allocate to campus organizations. This committee is composed of students, administrators, faculty and staff. In fact, if students were to vote "yes" in the election, I can assure you that SG President Sherry Boyles and I would both make every effort to offset the fee to min­ imize any increase. Finally, it is quite unclear as to who Levin is referring as the "sponsor" of TEXPIRG. The Stu­ dent Government has not spent one dime in support of TEXPIRG or on the fee increase and has no intention of doing so. Whatever the vote is, it will be respected. No tricks, no gimmicks. Just learn the pros and cons and vote. Brandon Bichler SG Vice President Students will vote I am responding to Marc Levin's column on the TEXPIRG proposal. Unfortunately, Levin failed to por­ tray the correct reason why the SG passed the TEXPIRG referendum. Levin said, "the Student Govern­ ment found another way to rip off the students it purports to repre­ sent" by passing the TEXPIRG ref­ erendum. However, as the representative who sponsored this referendum, I must ask if Levin even attended the assembly meeting at which the referendum was passed. If not, maybe he should have called someone who was there before writing this column. And if he was, maybe he should have lis­ tened just a little more carefully to what was being said before writing his column. The real reason that most of the SG members voted for the referen­ dum was because they believed that the TEXPIRG issue should be on the ballot. done is provided the students a chance to vote yes or no. A good question for Marc Levin would be why is he so afraid of students having the right to vote. I guess Levin is not a very big fan of the democratic process that our country was founded on. Finally, I would like to give Levin a little bit of advice: Before making assumptions about why people make decisions, ask them first, and maybe you can print the truth instead of your assumption. Brian Greeney SG representative Down with TEXPIRG Upon reading about the TEX­ PIRG proposal, I considered what a poor college student could do with $16.50 (the average yearly cost of this program per student). It became clear to me that having $16.50 in my pocket is infinitely more fulfilling than having the knowledge that my money would represent my "interests" in Wash­ ington, D.C. (despite the fact that in my three years of college life, nobody has ever asked me what my "interests" are). So, instead of giving money to a cause I did not know I had, here are some things I would rather do with my money. $16.50 would: ■ Buy me six Big Mac extra value meals. ■ Pay for one of my numerous parking tickets. ■ Allow me to go see three stu­ dent discount movies. ■ Help defray the costs of one of my English 324 paperbacks. By doing this, all the SG has ■ Allow me to buy the new Smashing Pumpkins double CD I really want. ■ Pay for one half-hour session of tutoring in computer science (which I desperately need). I would rather do any of the above mentioned things than give this money to the "Student" Gov­ ernment. Let it not be said, however, that this student is not willing to pay a small fee for the good of the stu­ dent body. I feel there are more valuable causes to give my money to than this particular scam. I would give money to get a new parking lot so I won't get so many tickets. Hell, I would give money to the SG if they would just stop claiming that they actually represent this student. Jai R.

Black History Month a bit light on history February is Black History Month, K. D anial W illiam son TEXAN COLUMNIST which Louis Farrakhan will no doubt take as further evidence of The Man's conspiracy (February being the shortestjmonth, and placing black history in competition with Valen­ tine's Day and the ever-popular Den­ tal Health Month). Black History Month is one of those great enigmas that could only happen in America: Nobody really believes that all discussion of black history is, or should be, segregated to the month of February. At the same time, people who make careers of serving on task forces and talking about "diversity" are certainly loath to cede their 28 days of annual relevance. America's deep and deserved sense of racial guilt ensures the survival of this odd observance — a nation will­ ing to tolerate the flaccid verse of Maya Angelou is not about to do away with Black History Month — but it is useful to examine its underly­ ing assumptions. Most of the people directly involved with Black History Month are profes­ sional educators, and that is fitting. Only the most myopic educrat could argue that American students are so well-versed in all other aspects of American and European history that blacks need a special month just to catch up. The truth is, precious few UT stu­ dents could perform such elementary exercises in American history as listing the first 10 presidents, describing the Teapot Dome Scandal, or describing the issue of the 19th Amendment. illiterate of "standard" history as they are of black history. This is the sort of egalitarianism fostered by our institu­ tions of education. But our educators — who have unquestionably betrayed the trust placed in them, from kinder­ garten to college — continue on as though the tradition that produced Matthew Arnold were not on the ropes. I am reminded of a discussion dur­ ing a course in women writers of the Middle Ages, in which we were dis­ cussing one woman's response to St Augustine. A survey of my classmates revealed that only three of us had actually read Augustine, an archetyp­ al oppressive white male. The profes­ sor — who had benefited from a better education than that she was doling out — did not seem to grasp that the dis cussion might have been richer had the students read the literature in question. The same dynamic is at work in Black History Month. Those ignorant of the essential history of the Revolu­ tionary War are unprepared to assess Crispus Attucks' place in it. So while discussion of black history is unques­ tionably called for, it is a bit ironic that our discussion takes place amid the collapse of the discipline of history itself. Americans remain almost equally Williamson is a senior in English.

JEN N IFER FOSTER/Daily Texan Staff After fiery riot, Texas board chairman pushes state regulation of prison transfers Associated Press Dove Development. The two South Texas prisons are the only ones SAN ANTONIO — A fiery riot by dozens of M issouri inmates this week in Crystal City and an escape by three Utah inm ates in January in Frio County has the private firm that runs the two prisons u n d er scrutiny. But Do\fe Development Corp., the Greenville- based prison com pany, is not answ ering many questions. M eanw hile, the problem s at D ove's in stitu ­ tions and other trouble w ith out-of-state inmates have prom pted the chairm an of the Texas Board of Criminal Justice to call for state regulation of prisoner importing. "I certainly feel it's in the public's interest that some regulatory body step in and oversee these prisoner transfers," said prison board chairm an Allan Polunsky. " I c erta in ly do n ot w a n t us to be h o u sin g inm ates that are the w orst of the worst in other states in Texas, particularly in facilities that are not designed to house those types of people,” he said. Polunsky plans to address the m atter at the b o a rd 's M arch m eeting. He said he h a d been examining the issue even before Tuesday's riot at the Crystal City Detention Center operated by Prisoners at the medium -security prison about 100 m iles so u th w est of San A ntonio b attered dow n a control room door and set fires because they were upset over restricted television privi­ leges and the race of their jailers. Some 40 inm ates from Missouri w ere blamed for the uprising. The 467-bed prison also houses inmates from Utah. Dove Development officials have not returned repeated telephone calls from The A ssociated Press seeking com m ent on the riot, on Polun- sky's regulatory proposal or on general inform a­ tion about the corporation. The inmate uprising was not the first problem for the prison company. In October, three inmates from Utah escaped from the Crystal City prison by jum ping a fence while on w ork detail. One inm ate was a convict­ ed killer, another was a child molester, and the third was convicted of theft. Last month, at the Frio County Detention Cen­ ter, another medium-security jail, three inmates from Utah escaped by slipping through a chain- link fence. One of the prisoners was serving time for m urder, one for aggravated robbery and one for forgery. Dove operates. D ove began runnin g the Frio C ounty d eten ­ tion center in 1992 an d took over the C rystal City center about two years later. Problem s w ith out-of-state prisoners at Dove priso n s and elsew h ere in Texas led to Polurt- sky's current push for state regulation of prison­ er transfers. For instance, three convicted killers from New Mexico w ere injured last w eek w hen they fell while trying to escape from the fifth floor of the Lew Sterrett Justice Center in Dallas. A m o ng o th e r sta te s s h ip p in g p riso n e rs to Texas because they do not have enough room at hom e are Colorado, M assachusetts, Virginia and Oregon. A bout 3,800 o u t-of-state inm ates are b ein g held in 13 jails across Texas. Eight of those are privately run, although all are u n d e r the a u s­ pices of a county or city government. Since new Texas-state prisons have been built, counties, cities and private prison com p anies th a t h a d h o u se d in m a te s for the s ta te h a v e found their jail cells em pty and have contracted to house prisoners from other states w here there are crow ding problems.

The women's competition is see­ ing a true duel between nationally- ranked powerhouses Texas and SMU. After Thursday night's events, the No. 2 ranked Lady Mustangs only hold a slim 299-295 lead over the No. 6 Lady Longhorns. The men's events tell quite a dif­ ferent story, as the No. 3 Longhorns jumped out to a 99 point lead over TEXAS SWIMMING SMU, 320-221. Boosting both teams were the out­ standing wins by freshman Erin Maher and Chns Archer, who made their con­ ference debuts official Thursday. in M aher's win the 50-yard freestyle was the Texas women's only individual win on the night, in addition to her first career SWC gold. "The individual gold feels good, but I was really wanting to get a title for the team ," Maher said. "W e know we've got some really hard competition with SMU." Head coach Jill Sterkel echoed Maher's sentiment: "W e know SMU is coming in here gunning for us and they have the people to do it." The men's 200-yard individual med­ ley featured SMU's defending confer­ ence champion and SWC record-holder Ryan Berube, but Archer ended up denying Berube of repeat gold. A rcher's time of 147:86 bested Berube by over a full second, and was one of the five golds nabbed by the Texas men. In fact, Texas had won all the events leading up to the last event, the 400-yard medley relay. Both of the Longhorn relays jump-started the meet with victory in the 200-yard freestyle relay. The wom en's team of Danielle Strader, Tara Leach, Tammie Spatz and Maher beat the Lady Mustangs relay by over a second, while the men's tandem of Brian Esway, Neil Walker, Sean McGrath and Scott Hunt did the same. SMU's women's took first and sec­ ond in the next event, the 500-yard freestyle, with Sandra Cam defend­ ing her conference title. The men's 500 saw a neck-and-neck nail-biter between defending three­ time champion, Matt Hooper of Texas and SMU freshman Blaine Morgan. Hooper outlasted Morgan for his ninth career SWC title. Two more would break the all-time conference title record set by Jerry Heidenreich of SMU from 1969-72. "I got stuck in an easy pace, and I didn't see [Morgan] until the last turn," Hooper said. "My counter was going crazy and I knew something was up— then I saw the splash!" record-breaking SMU's Martina Moraucova swam the only time Thursday, in the 200-yard individ­ ual medley. Her mark of 1:58.90 tore * through former Longhorn Whitney Hedgepeth's record of 1:59.17. 50-yard Texas swept the medals in the m en's freestyle with McGrath's winning time of 20.01 seconds, and Esway and Walker's tie for second at 20.24. m o u r GKLS OF SUMMBt SCORES NBA Cleveland 95, Toronto 76 Miami 97, Denver 91 Chicago 112, Detroit 109, OT Milwaukee 109, Washington 98 Houston 112, San Antonio 108 Utah 106, Dallas 103 Phoenix 96, Portland 84 Sir M UI ram.

Working against a 3 p.m. free agency deadline, the Cowboys and Woodson worked out a six- year deal worth $18 million with a $5.4 million signing bonus. To find the money, Dallas restruc­ tured the contracts of numerous players, including Kevin Smith and Erik Williams. Woodson's agent, Leigh Stein­ berg, said he consummated the deal during a Thursday morning flight to Dallas from New York.

Horns drop opener to St. Edward’s as women begin play on softball diamond JOHN A. SUTTERBV________ Daily Texan Staff The Texas women's softball team got its new white uniforms dirty Thursday in its first official outing representing the University. The Horns dropped a doubleheader to the St. Edward's Hill toppers 10-4, 6-2 at Diane Daniels Field. The Horns looked shaky in their debut, committing five errors in the first game behind starter Ashley Hutchison. Hutchison gave up one run in the first, five in the second and one in the third to put Texas in the hole 6-0. "T h ey were scoring so fast I couldn't keep up," Hutchison said of the first two innings. Texas managed to get one back in the third. Texas second baseman Kathrine Penders raced around the bases after St. Edward's left fielder Jessica Monreal dropped Penders' fly ball. Penders' run was the first run scored in Texas softball history. St. Edward's scored another run in the third on singles by Amy Poehl and leadoff hitter Crystal Rosenquist. Rosenquist and Jessica Monreal were on base five out of the eight times they came up as Texas had a hard time handling the speed of the number one and two hitters in the St. Edw ard's two speedsters were a combined 9-for- 13, with eight runs scored and three RBIs in the two games. lineup. The "Texas couldn't handle our id. Our slap hitters were giving tern fits," Hilltoppers coach Phil Koehler said. "They weren't sure how to play them. If they came in to play the bunt then they just hit it passed them." Down 7-1, Texas rallied for three Mustangs looking forward to giving UT 2nd SWC loss TRACY C. SCHULTZ_________ Daily Texan Staff Minutes after their 84-83 loss to the Lady Longhorns on Jan. 20 in Austin, the Lady Mustangs were already talking about getting Texas on their own floor. They'll get their chance Saturday when Texas (14-7, 9-1 Southwest Conference) visits Moody Coliseum in Dallas. "W e play pretty well at home," SMU forward Kim Brandi said. "This is an important game. It is def­ initely a big game for us." In that game, SMU (15-7, 6-3) had a chance to tie it up with two sec­ onds left when Brandi was fouled on a three-point try. She missed the first of three free-throws and Texas held on for the win. "It was a disappointing loss for us," SMU forward Kim Brandi said. "We just played bad. Watching the film from that game, there were so many things we could have done differently." Not only is this a chance for revenge against the Longhorns, it is a chance to gain — or lose — ground in the conference race. The Long­ horns hold a 2 1 /2-gam e lead over the Ponies in the conference stand­ ings, and they are not about to give second place up so easily. "W e have come this far," forward Amie Smith said. "We don't want to settle for second. We are going for first place." But Texas has a loss of its own to avenge. The Longhorns lost to the Mustangs at Moody for the first Longhorn second baseman Kathrine Penders slides home safely during Texas’ 10-4 season opening loss to St. Edward’s Thursday. CHRIS CURRY/Daily Texan Staff TEXAS SOFTBALL runs in the fourth. After a ground out by Denice Wilson, Aimee Swan popped a sin­ gle over the first baseman. Swan was replaced by pinch runner Jessi­ ca Siff who scored on a triple lined over third base by Kim Lair. Lair scored on Penders' single up the middle. Nikki Cockrell kept the rally going with a single to left field. Down 10-4, Texas went scoreless in the seventh inning to end the game. Pitcher Erica Reyes got the win for St Ed's and Hutchison took the loss for Texas, striking out four. In the nightcap, Texas fell behind early as the Hilltoppers scored one in the first behind the hitting and running of Rosenquist and Monreal. The Hilltoppers then scored two more runs in the third, both of them unearned as the Texas' infield com­ mitted errors on three consecutive plays behind Cantu, who walked in the second run. Texas scored a run in the fourth to cut the lead 3-1. Cockrell scored the run for Texas by crossing the plate on an error by the Hilltoppers' right fielder. The score remained 6-2 as Texas' Williams pitched a scoreless fifth and Hutchison returned to shut down the Hilltoppers in the sixth. "W e're just giving up too many runs," Clark said. "There were too many times when the pitchers were up two strikes or one and two, and then giving up a hit. We'U have to work on working the comers more in those situations."

"So two in a row' is good and we hope to build on that this weekend." coach head Please see Texas, page 12 TEXAS-KANSAS ■ When: Fit-Sat, 2 p.m. and Sun., 1 p.m. ■ Where: Disch-Falk Field ■ Radio: KVET 1300 AM ■ Records: Texas (5-5 overall); Kansas (1-2) ■ Pitchers: Texas: Jake ODe8 (0-1,5.40 ERA); % Kansas: Ctay Baird (1-0, 0.00 ERA) II Runnin’ Horns don’t like A&M’s slow-down style MATT YOUNG Daily Texan Staff Some team wearing burnt orange totally destroyed Texas A&M Wednesday night at the Erwin Cen­ ter, but so far there's been no word on identity the of the unknown suspects. TEXAS MEN'S BASKETBALL The players looked similar to the Runnin' Horns, but they sure didn't play like them. Instead of frantically running all over the court and wear­ ing the opponent down with its hel­ ter-skelter style of play, they played a slower half-court game that looked nothing like Texas teams in the past. Texas went on to w in the game in an atypical, low-scoring fashion, 69-50. While the players were pleased with the results, they said i f s not something they want to do every night. "I hate that half-court stuff," junior guard Reggie Freeman said, "but whatever it takes to win, I guess, that's what we'll have to do." Texas coach Tom Penders said: "I don't care too much about style points as long as we get the victory. I don't like 69-50 games any more than anyone else, but if we would've gotten stupid or careless, it could've been a loss." Penders says all the talk about his team slowing down the game is really much ado about nothing. "I was just reading what the other team was doing," Penders said.

This perform ance encourages ballet to step out of binding classical technique and its usual, predictable musical styles. New ste p s and rh y th m s are allo w ed to take shape in the bodies of the dancers, in the m inds of the choreographers and in eyes of the audience. T he th e m e s of T o n ig h t We Dance, romance and passion, are common in clas­ sical ballet. But in these three pieces, the dancers are not going to go on stage and point their toes or extend their arm s in a s tr a in s of lo n g in g Tchaikovsky play in the background. The goal of Ballet A ustin is to " p e rp e tu a te fa sh io n w h ile TO H G H T \N T D A N C E Artists: Ballet Austin Director: Playing at: B a ss Concert Hall. 8 dance as a perform ing art and that does not limit the choreographers to a classical style.

Lam brous Lambrou, artistic director of Ballet Austin, will end the night w ith his piece Other Tangos, w hich mixes the dark undertones of the tango with classical bal­ let.

Fortunately for rhe LIT faithful, rhom ton expects the Horns to be right in the m iddle of the action. 'Baylo r and Texas A & M w ill be the schools w ith the most bullets," Thornton said. "T h e y 'll be rig h t there w ith us, so it should be a great com petition." Baylor, the only conference oppo­ nent to defeat Texas in head-to-head competition this season (at the Jan. 17 Sooner Invitational), w ill be espe­ cially high on the Longhorns' hit list. U T, though, w ill be aim ing to avenge the earlier loss to the Bears without junior Dwa\-ne Rilev, the team's leader in the 200 meters and an N C A A provisional qualifier in the 55-meter hurdles. Rilev took a spill on the last hur­ dle at the Feb. 4 Cougar Invitational and came aw ay with a third-degree shoulder sprain and a concussion that w ill sideline him for the rest of the season. Thornton said the loss of the All-Am erican w ill be a damag- TEXAS TRACK & FIELD ing, but not crippling, one. "Anytim e you lose an athlete, it's tough," "Thornton said. "B u t when you lose one of your top hurdlers, that really hurts. But I think our team w ill group around [the injur)’] and make up those points somehow." Even w ithout R iley, Texas still boasts a pow erful arsenal. The Horns return 13 scorers from last year's team, wrhich finished third at conference, including 800-meter dash champion Corev Cotton and 1995's top indoor pole vau lter W ayne G uidry. A lso returning are team co-captains LaSalle Vaughn, Derek Spears, and Richard Duncan, the latter two of w’hom have already qualified for the N C A A s - Spears autom atically in the 55-meter hur­ dles and Duncan provisionally in the long, triple and high jumps. "O u r goal as a team is to have Texas finish num ber one and have all other schools finish behind us," Duncan said.

Cobb, a junior transfer from Blinn Ju n io r College, is ranked fourth in Am erica in the triple jump and w ill head into the weekend ranked first in the SW C . " I would rather not be favored going in and maybe go in overconfident," Cobb said. "I think [not being favored] w'ould have given me a bit of an edge." Despite the emergence of these newcomers, the H orns SW C title hopes w ill hinge on the performances of salt}’ veterans Spears and Duncan. Spears had an opportunity to tune for the conference cham pi­ up onships by running at the Feb. 4 G allery Games in Houston, where Texas' three tim e All-Am erican out­ ran two time O lym pic gold m edalist and Am erican record holder Roger Kingdom in the 60-hurdles. Spears, 2-0 this season in the 55-hurdles, is vying to become the Longhorn's first SW C champ in that event. "In d ivid u a lly, I really want to w in conference," Spears said. "I'v e been chasing the leader for two years now, and I think it's fin ally m y chance. O ur goal is to be conference cham pions, and if w e all w o rk together to turn in peak p erfor­ mances, w e'll get it."
