Erie Janssen, UT director for environm ental health and safety, said that am ount is a harmless laboratory' strain.

For instance, some derivatives can be recombined into new' viruses. "It has been demonstrated again and again that it is readily possible to combine [these agents] into a full-length genome," Ebright said. "With a virus it can be done very rapidly." Lately, concern for the safety of biological agents in university hands has brought quick respons­ es from government officials. For example, a FedEx office at Port Columbus International Airport in Ohio was evacuated and cleaned last week after a box holding live samples of West Nile virus exploded. The package was bound for UT Medical Branch in Galveston. And the FBI and CDC combed Lubbock in January after at least 30 vials of bubonic plague went missing. A Texas Tech professor was later charged for K ing about the circumstances of the disap­ pearance. The University' is careful in providing access to its select agents, Janssen said. He said researchers working with them need a key card and three sepa­ rate keys. Processes for shipping samples to the University require extensive correspondence with the CDC.

BIOLOGICAL, FROM 1 harmless with skin contact. "There’s a difference between something that's infectious ... and these toxins." UT officials have treated infor­ mation about the agents as it they were dangerous. Janssen would not reveal where the agents are kept or which scientists use them in research. UT officials chal­ lenged in court the state attorney general's ruling that the CDC form was public information. They dropped the lawsuit this week. "1 just have to be verv careful," Janssen said. "I don't think any­ body will be posting their list. The feds cannot divulge that information under the Freedom of Information Act. It's not neces­ sarily just UT-Austin that would not like to see this stuff in the newspaper." Edward Hammond leads the Sunshine Project, an Austin- based watchdog group that opposes the development of chemical weapons. He ques­ tioned the University's reticence to release information. "You can read different things into that," 1 lammond said. "W hy are they being this way about this information? It may not be nefari­ It could be nefarious. ... o u s Because of the nature of biode- fense work, it realK has to be sub- ject to the highest public scrutiny." More stringent regulation of "select agents" identified by the CDC required the University to submit a report in September 2002. C l X requirements for 2003, however, mean m o s t of the University's a g e n t s are kept in too small amounts to be reported. UT officials cited the change in dropping their lawsuit. Under revised guidelines, only two a g e n t s the University has registered s t ill must be reported, Janssen said. He would not say which ones he meant.

Korea — North Korea on Wednesday cut off the sole regular military contact with the U.S.-led U.N. Command that monitors the Korean War armistice, saying it was “meaning­ less” to sit with the Americans. The move will further isolate the North amid heightened ten­ sion over its suspected nuclear weapons programs. The North has accused the United States of using the nuclear issue as an excuse to attack the communist state, and Pyongyang has said it would boost its defens­ es amid such fears. Meanwhile, U.N. envoy Maurice Strong said that North Korean officials told him in meetings in Pyongyang last week that they ‘ reserved the right" to reprocess spent fuel rods that experts say could yield enough plutonium for several atomic bombs within months. Seven European nations sign treaties to join NATO BRUSSELS, Belgium — Seven central and east European nations signed treaties Wednesday to become members of NATO, an expansion hailed as a historic reunification of the continent after decades of Cold War division. Foreign ministers from Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Estonia and Latvia signed the papers at a for­ mal ceremony at NATO headquar­ ters before delegates from the 19 current NATO members. NATO invited the seven to join at a November summit in the Czech capital, Prague. The coun­ tries will become members in May 2004 if their parliaments ratify the treaties. They will be covered by the alliance’s core security guarantee that states an attack on one member is an attack on all. Kenya hands over al-Qaida suspect to U.S. officials NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya hand­ ed over a suspected member of the al-Qaida terrorist network to American officials Wednesday, say­ ing he participated in the 1998 bombings of U.S. em bassies in East Africa that killed 2 3 1 people, including 12 Americans. The suspect was identified by authorities as Suleim an Abdalla Salim Hemed. National Security Minister Chris Murungaru said Hemed, whose alleged involve­ ment in the bombings was not detailed, already was on his way to the United States but would not elaborate.

Still, he said victory was only a matter of time, adding, "There will be a day of reckoning for the Iraqi regime, and that day is drawing near." For the second straight day, swirling sandstorm s hampered Am erican units. The bom bing campaign was crimped, as well, but Baghdad television w as knocked off the air for several hours.

American commanders had hoped to move a large force into northern Iraq from Turkey. But the parliament refused to allow that. The parachute drop was beginning of an alternative plan. the Harriers and Tornado jets fly­ ing out of Kuwait attacked the Iraqi convoy leaving Basra, a city of more than 1 million people in southern Iraq, according to a British military source, speaking on condition of anonymity. Irregular Iraqi troops have pre­ vented Bntish troops from entering Basra, Iraq's second-largest city and site of a reported uprising by local civilians against Saddam's defenders. International aid offi­ cials have repeatedly expressed fears of an outbreak of disease, given the interruption of power and water supplies. The Pentagon's No. 2 general, Marine Gen. Peter Pace, said Iraq has executed prisoners of war in the week since the war began. Pace, apparently referring to som e of the U.S. Army troops captured Sunday bv Iraqi forces in the city of An Nasiriyah, said in many Iraqis had engaged atrocities in the six days since the war began. Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said a "few vehicles" were moving south toward Karbala, site of a m ajor land battle on Tuesday "They're being engaged as we find them," he said. U.S. officials blame the Fedav een units for much ot the resistance that has hampered the American- led advance through Iraq, accusing them of faking surrender only to shoot Americans and enforcing discipline among regular Iraqi army troops who may be less will­ ing to fight. One Defense Department offi­ cial said commanders were sur­ prised bv the Fedayeen's capabil­ ity and that military commanders were changing their tactics "W e're going into a hunting mode right now," said Marine 1 I Col. B.T. McCoy in Iraq. Iraqi officials said 30 civilians were ingired, some badly', when two American missiles landed in a residential Baghdad neighbor­ hood.

Moynihan's death was announced on the Senate floor by Sen.

Protesters in Washington climbed over police barricades closing off Lafayette Park, across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, and sang and prayed until they were arrested. Police said 6 5 people were taken into custody. Those arrested included Nobel laureates Mairead Corrigan Maguire of the Northern Ireland Peace Movement and Jody Williams of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, as well as Roman Catholic Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of the Detroit archdiocese; Bishop C. Joseph Sprague of the United Methodist Church in the Chicago area; Dave Robinson, national coordinator of Pax Christi USA, the Catholic peace movement, and Ellsberg. Late term abortion ban proceeds toward House floor WASHINGTON — House Republicans, encouraged by a Senate vote to ban what critics call partial-birth abortion, cleared the way for their own bill to head to the House floor. The House Judiciary Committee approved the measure in a party- line 19-11 vote Wednesday, The Senate passed its version nearly two weeks ago in a 6 4 33 vote. President Bush has said he will sign the measure, a revised version of bills that former President Clinton twice vetoed as unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has already addressed the issue, striking down a Nebraska law banning the proce­ dure in June 2000. The court said the law imposed an “undue bur­ den' on women who decide to end their pregnancies.

India test-fired the country's most sophisticated surface-to-surface Privthi with nuclear capability Wednesday from its testing ranges in Eastern India, officials said. Pakistan and India conducted tit-for- tat nuclear-capable missile tests Wednesday, pushing their decades-old conflict to the fore with a whoosh of steel and a payload of charged invective. The United States may be focused on the war in Iraq, but the dual missile tests served as a reminder that the world’s other conflicts continue. India also accused Pakistan of having a hand in this week’s murder of 24 Hindus in disputed Kashmir, and the two countries exchanged heavy artillery across the ceasefire line dividing the Himalayan province between them. sai/e$500 luniors & Seniors ¡v io r ^ E P re !

W orth Daily Texan Staff U T stu d e n ts from Mexico wen honored at the Capitol Wednesday as the Texas Senate h< >sted a recep­ tion and unanimously passed a resolution form ally welcoming them to the University The event was the most recent of actions aimed at strengthening ties between Mexico and the U T community. Led by Sen. ludith Zaffirini, D- Laredo, the program em pha­ sized the importance of fostering cooperative relations between Texas and its neighbor to the south. sa id , Speaking to a group of about si) Mexican students, I t. Gov. D avid Dewhurst "It's important that you understand Texas and that we understand you so we can continue to work together in a way that is mutual­ ly beneficial." Asimilar reception will take place next fall for UT students attending Monterrey Tech University in Monterrey, Mexico. The effort is focused on cultivating educational and economic opportunities for stu­ dents from both countries. "W e want all our Mexican stu­ dents to meet more people and extend relationships," Zaffirini said. "W hat we're interested in is reciprocity. Our countries w ill increasingly be linked by interna­ tional trade and globalization, and these students are building a bridge that future generations w ill cross." Some Mexican students pres­ ent at the reception acknow l­ edged that introducing them ­ selves to others was a good w ay of forming contacts. to them," said " I know that 1 got here because of the people I knew and how I related Ju lio Olvera, a pre-pharmacy sopho­ more. "B u t 1 also thought it would just be good to see others like myself. Plus, it's a great net­ working opportunity." The Senate's recognition of the U n iversity's Mexican students comes hot off the heels of an {education and Research Coope­ ration Agreement inaugurated M onday between the University and Mexico's foreign relations departments. The accord's promoters said the agreement w ould allow aca­ demics from both sides of the border to share information and work side by side. One of the agreement's guidelines establish­ es a visiting chair of Mexican studies at the University and cre­ ates 10 short-term, rotating fel­ lowship positions for Mexican scholars. 'ITs a difficult time for higher education," said Charles Miller, chairman of the U T System Board of Regents. "But by reaching out and bringing resources together, w e can offer a higher level of edu- cation and a greater value.' Jennifer S o liz/ Daily Texan Staff Official: Process would take until November ETHICS, FROM 1 Salbu said he believes business students should be required to study business ethicv "and the only way that happens at most business schools is bv requiring some kind of course." Anderson added that the com­ is exploring various mittee options on how' to implement this. One option would be a requirement of a course from a list of ethics courses, from disci­ plines such as philosophy or soci­ ology, Anderson said. The proposal would have to be passed by the Undergraduate Programs Committee, business school faculty and the Faculty' Council. Anderson said he esti­ mates the process w ill take until next November to come to fruit it in. Ben Uy, a fourth-year student in the Program of Professional Accounting, said although he has learned a lot from class discus­ sions about the "g ray areas" of certain situations, he does not know how' useful a whole class on the topic of ethics would be. 1 lowever, Zain Yoonas, a busi­ ness honors and Plan II junior, said an ethics course w ill be use­ ful "if students are told effective ways in w'hich to remove them­ selves from compromising situa­ tions w'ithout suffering conse­ quences." Another proposed means of promoting academic integrity is to get students to re-examine and re-affirm the school's honor code, which Anderson described as "a matter of demanding behavior" and looking at expectations. Yoonas said he doesn't see "any practical purpose" to a moral code "except to put a more moral face on the business school." Kruppa said he agreed that w hile it is not the "cure-all" and should be done in conjunction with classes and programs, "I definitely think if we can build a community that fosters and pro­ motes a code of conduct, we would better prepare students to act in an ethical wray once they get into the real world."

Michael Dell to speak at spring commencement Though he never walked, Dell Computer chairman and CEO Michael Dell will admire the view from the graduation stage as he gives the commencement address at this spring's ceremony. The ceremonies mark the 120th spring commencement for the University. “The [University] is proud of its history and strong relation ship with Michael Dell, and we re very pleased that he has agreed to be our com m ence­ ment speaker this year,' UT President Larry Faulkner said in a statement. Dell attended the University in the 1 980s before leaving to begin the multi-billion dollar com­ puter corporation Dell Computer Corp. in 1984, — Elliott Blackburn SG passes resolution about regents’ accountability Student Government passed a resolution Tuesday night “scoff­ ing" at the assertion that the UT System Board of Regents is more accountable to students than the Texas Legislature. In the resolution, SG also "con­ demns Chairman [Charles] Miller's refusal to allow UT Watch member Austin Van Zant to speak at the Board of Regents meeting” in February. Further, SG “views the incident as emblematic of the regents’ unwillingness to listen to student concerns.” UT Chancellor Mark Yudof said at the time that Van Zant was not allowed to speak because it would have set a precedent allow­ ing all students to come before the board. Yudof said he would rather hear from a student elect­ ed by the student body. Also on Tuesday, SG voted not to support a U.S. House resolu­ tion seeking to repeal the feder­ al act denying financial aid to any student with a drug conviction. — Wes Ferguson UT mock trial team places 5th in national competition The UT Undergraduate Mock Trial Association placed fifth at the National Intercollegiate Mock Trial Tournament in St. Paul, Minn., this past weekend.

The hearing is rescheduled for April 3. Sparks approved the request for more time to prepare tie "comp ex" information equired for Morales' defense. Morales, along with friend and Houston attorney Marc Murr, were indicted for attempting to defraud the state of Texas of millions of dollars in attorney's fees stemming from a 1998 tobacco settlement. Morales reiterated Wednesday his belief that the information prosecutors and the federal grand jury used to indict him was inaccu­ rate and incomplete. "That really is what a trial is for to have the opportunity to correct and complete the information," he said. — Elliott Blackburn Senate approves legislation for tougher curriculum High school students would have to take a tougher curriculum to be eligible for a program that guarantees automatic admission to a Texas college under legisla­ tion that won final approval in the Senate Wednesday. High schools now offer three levels of curriculum: minimum, recommended and advanced. Students can take any level to qualify for a program that requires Texas public universities to admit students who rank in the top 10 percent of their graduating class. The bill would require students who want to be eligible for the program to take at least the rec­ ommended curriculum level. — Associated Press El Paso Corp. to pay $20M to settle allegations HOUSTON — El Paso Corp.'s soon to-be-scrapped energy trad­ ing unit agreed Wednesday to pay $20 million to settle allega­ tions that its traders reported bogus transactions to natural gas industry publications.

The announcement came days after the company brokered a $1.7 billion settlement with California agencies to settle law­ suits about its role in that state's 2 0 0 0 and 2001 energy crisis. — AP H IV in fe c tio n ra te s in c r e a s e HIV, FROM 1 The extensions are necessary' because funds were tied up due to a delay in federal government approval of the fiscal year 2003 budget, said Len Trevino, health resources administration manag­ er the city 's Health and Human Services Department. in "For us not to create anv gaps in services, we need these exten­ sions," Trevino said. The extensions would be fund­ ed by the federal Department of and Human Services, Health which gave partial grants in antic­ ipation of the delay, Trevino said.

The award was short of the origi­ nal application, but was about a $49,000 — or 1.47 percent — increase am ount from received last year. the "This is what actually is the biggest source of funding for HIV and AIDS services. It pays for a lot of health care — the very nec­ essary, basic care," Trevino said. Ryan White CARE grants are awarded to Eligible Metropolitan Areas, or EMAs. An area must have reported at least 2,(XX) AIDS cases in the ama over a two-year period and have a population of at least Ropp, said 500,000, spokesman for tine U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration. About4,500 people in Austin am infected with HIV. Kevin "Each EM A submits an appli­ cation that identifies the severity of the H IV /A ID S epidemic in that area and explains why CARE Act supplemental funding for health services is needed to provide necessary services to people living with HIV, including traditionally under-served popu­ lations," Ropp said. The five-county EMA, which has been receiving Ryan White grants since 1995, includes Travis, Bastrop, Williamson, Elays and Caldw'ell counties. Becker said the HIV Planning Council is Currently working to bring in the estimated 1,000 HIV- infected persons in the com m uni­ ty' who are aware of their status but do not receive services. "The days of the mid- to late- 90s had a huge impact," Becker said. "People began living longer with the help of new drugs. Rates for 1IIV infection continue to grow, but the mortality rate for those with A I D S has dropped oft. So as the need for drugs increases, we re having trouble finding money to help people pay for their drugs '' He said President Bush was wrong when he stated in his State of the Union address that HIV and AIDS drugs cost about $300 or $400 per month. Average costs, Becker said, am around $14,000 per year, while some persons pa\ up to $21,lXX) per vear. ADDS Services of Austin, which receives a portion of the federal grants, provides case manage­ ment, food pantry, legal services, dental cam, and prevention and education programs. Lee Manford, executive direc­ tor of the nonprofit agency, said because funding is not increasing at a rate appropriate for the rate of increase of HIV-infections, all of the nonprofits are struggling. The agencv's funding is 70 percent public and 30 percent private. "A s the economy has become more unstable, we still have very loyal donors," Manford said. "But in tunes of uncertainty, sometimes we have donors delay or a it back giving. W e've definitely seen decreases in private funding." The funding shortfall in both the private and public sectors w'ill have an effect on the agency, Manford said. "It definitely impacts the com­ munity'," Manford said. "The agency is very' stable. We're very conservative with spending. We really strive to be fair, equitable and responsible. What we believe will be the difficulty is continuing to serve the number of individuals we serve. We might have to reduce the level of services we provide." Ralliers cile costs, repercussions in deteriorating sen ices By Rachna Sheth Daily Texan Staff Hundreds rallied outside the Capitol W ednesday with slo­ gans such as "Streets & Prisons: Not a substitute tor Mental Health Services" and "Save our to protest proposed Sanity" budget cuts for mental health facilities. The protesters em phasized the possibility of costly repercus­ s i o n s of deteriorating m ental health services in Texas. Thes stressed that the m entally ill who remain untreated often end up on the streets or in prison, which would cost taxpayers more than actually treating their illnesses. Sen. Ken Am brister, D- Victoria, called this "the crimi­ illness," nalization of mental mentioning that one-third of Texas' 149,000 prisoners have a mental impairment, with each inmate costing $28,000 per year. "T h at's not conservative or liberal," said Ambrister. "That's wasting money " Denton County Sheriff Greg W. Leveling who spent Sheriff's Day advocating at the Capitol for mental health issues, voiced strong support for the senator's statements. com passionate "1 was raised as a Republican, conser­ wi th vatism," Leveling said. "But cut­ ting [from] mental health is cost- shifting, not cost-saving. I've seen people go through the sys­ tem time and time again to receive a not guilty [drug] ver­ dict. Those court fees could have been used to help their mental illnesses." Rep. Aaron Peña, D-Hidalgo, Laura Nutter from Wichita Falls protests proposed cuts to m ental health services at the Capitol building Wednesday morning.

A I R F O R C E CROSS INTO THE BLUE ENTERTAINM ENT BRIEFLY Rolling Stones forge ahead with Singapore concert SINGAPORE — The Rolling Stones went ahead with a con­ cert in Singapore Wednesday despite an outbreak of deadly flu in the city state that has claimed one life and pushed more than 7 0 0 people into quarantine. "It’s not canceled," said Ben Munroe, head of Cazbaa, the promoter of the Stones’ Licks World Tour in Singapore. "Everyone knew there was flu before they arrived, and despite that the Stones still came.” Earlier Wednesday, Singapore's Health Ministry reported the first death here as a result of the mystery illness known as severe acute respira­ tory syndrome, or SARS. The outbreak has sickened another 68 people in Singapore, and officials have ordered more than 700 people quarantined. According to the band’s Web site, the Stones also will per­ form Friday and Saturday in Hong Kong, where many have been wearing surgical masks in public hoping to avoid the dis­ ease. Crowe cheers Kidman^ Oscar win for ‘The Hours' Russell Crowe cheered fellow Australian Nicole Kidman's Oscar win for The Hours, saying her “dedication, brilliance, resilience and generosity has been lauded applauded and finally handsomely rewarded." Kidman, 35. became the first Australian to win the best- actress Oscar. She won the award, which was presented Sunday at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Calif., for her per formance a s Virginia Woolf. "I couldn't be happier for her, her family, her pets, everyone,” said Crowe, who won the best- actor Oscar in 2001 for his role in Gladiator Kidman said she was shocked when Denzel Washington announced her name. “I just am very proud to have been nominated and to have actually won, and I’m very proud to represent my country,’’ I Kidman sa id during the post- Oscar celebration.

Multi-talented funnyman Chris Rock calls the shots (to a warm reception) his directorial t j debut‘Head Mate' By Kevin Taylor Daily Texan Staff stand -u p Talking w ith C h ris Rock is an unusual expe­ rience. Anyone who has seen even a glim pse of com edy his persona — w hich is bois­ terous, and very funny — m ight be surprised that h e 's not always like that. ram b lin g and d irect In person, he gives short answ ers, detached from the w hole press still unket process. H e 's funny, just in a more low -key way. Yet it's hum bling to d is­ cov er that he co n sid ers him self a regular guy who needs to get paid for doing som ething, som ehow. For Rock, it just happens to be com edy — and can we im agine him in any other position? The 37-year-old com ic has now taken on an entirely new' role by d irecting his first film. In his directorial debut, Head o f State (w hich opens in theaters Friday), the cur­ rent D em ocratic p re sid e n tial can d id ate unexpectedly dies, leaving party mem bers in need of a last-m inute replacem ent. Mays G illiam (Rock), a W ashington, D . C . , neigh­ borhood alderm an, is in the right place at the right time: He e n d s up sw eeping the election, becom ing the new president of the United States. Rock, who believes there will be a black president someday, said he cou ld never pic­ ture him self running for office. "M e and p olitics?" R ock said. "1 hope not. I'd do H ollyw ood Squares before that. But Rock said Head o f State is not his way of voicing disdain for the governm ent. "I w ouldn't go that far. I'd say it's a form to make fun of politics in general. Just have fun with it — more jokes. I'm just a com e­ dian; 1 d o n 't know w'hat to say." Along with a couple of hugely successful HBO com edy specials — including Bring the Pain (19% ) and C hris Rock: Bigger & Blacker (1999) — as well as the critically acclaim ed yet short-lived I he C hris Rock Show and dozens of film s, Rock alw ays seem s to have his finger on the national political pulse. With a biting wit regarding contem porary society, he attacks racial rela­ tions on all sides. There never seem s to be any limit to what Rock w ill talk about next. "I have never thought of a joke w'here I w as like, 'T h at's real funny, too bad I can't say it' — that has yet to pop up," Rock said. "I just w ant to see how' far I can go, how' good can 1 be. N othing w rong w ith that, is there?" learning up once again with w riter Ali LeRoi, who co-w rote Down to Earth and The Chris R ock Show, there w as more room for com edic bliss, R ock said, because he w as am ong friends.
