AFD training program used to address gender diversity By M ichael Taylor Daily Texan Staff In the past, the physical demands placed on firefighters have been a stumbling block to increased gender diversity in the field. But now, fire Austin Fire Department, in con­ junction with a UT strength study, has taken an important step toward increasing die number of women firefighters. The study, nicknamed "Firepower;" was a 16- week strength training program composed of volunteers from among the female applicants for the AFD's most recent cadet class. The study sought to prepare the women for the Candidate Physical Ability Test, a test consisting of eight separate events designed to weed out candi­ dates not physically able to perform essential tasks at fire scenes. Roger Farrar; a professor of kinesiology and health education and principal investigator for the study, said the participants showed dear gains in the rate at which they passed the CPAT. "We were very pleased, and we ready believe it's a way of addressing the diversity issue on gender without compromising standards for the fire department," Farrar said. "None of us, as taxpayers, would want a woman showing up who qualified at a lesser standard because she was a woman, and then she is the one who has to carry you down the ladder." Currently, women make up only 3 percent of department personnel. AFD Battalion Chief René Garza, who is head of department recruit­ ing efforts, said foe physical demands of the job is one of several reasons fire departments have low participation by women. He added that the increased percentage of women passing foe CPAT is encouraging. To become a sworn member of foe depart­ ment, it's necessary to pass foe CPAT. The results of foe study make future gains likely, said Jill Craig, wellness/fitness coordinator for foe AFD. "We know that it had a huge effect on foe composition of this cadet class, because, of foe seven women that are in this class, five of them trained with foe strength study," Craig said.’ "The cadet class before this one had one woman in it, and that7 s not because only one woman showed up to foe test it's because only one woman passed foe CPAT, and I think eight women failed it."

Neighbors for Neighbors claim this rule allows companies like Alcoa to drain the surrounding counties' water without legal responsibility for foe damage it may cause.

"You should have to compensate, but you don't." Alcoa maintains that they are operating within state law and has promised to repair any affected wells. Entering its 50th year in Rockdale, most of Alcoa's lignite at foe current Sandow Mine is gone. In 1999, Alcoa, foe world's leading producer of aluminum, entered into an agreement with San Antonio's City Public Services department that pro­ vided foe company with rights to mine for lignite on foe city's land in Lee and Bastrop counties.

Flowers will officially take over foe library's top post on Jan. 7, 2002, succeeding foe library's first and only director; Harry Middleton, who announced his retire­ ment last September. He has served as director for more than 30 years. The LBJ Foundation Board interviewed a short list of applicants for foe position. John Carlin, National Archivist of foe United States, appointed Flowers based partly on foe board's recommendation, said Robert Hicks, public relations manager for foe library. Carlin made an excellent selection, said UT President Larry Faulkner. "Betty Sue Flowers has a good deal of experience in working with foe public press and with popular media, and using those venues to introduce difficult public issues to a larger audience," Faulkner said. "That is exactly the kind of thing that needs to be done by the LBJ director, and it's the kind of thing for which the library has been noted under Harry Middleton's lead­ ership." Flowers said she plans to modernize the library. "I'm interested in doing some things with foe Internet and foe archives, and things like that," Flowers said. She said she plans to encourage more student partic­ ipation in library events.

Department of Education is reevaluating its strict application of a provision that bans federal financial aid for students who have been convicted of distributing or using illegal drugs. In die last several weeks, US. Rep. Mark Souder; R- Indiana, author of foe original provision, has met with DOE officials to organize the modified provision, which would apply the ban to only those who have drug convictions while recipients of student aid, and not those convicted prior to receiving aid. Jane Glickman, a DOE spokeswoman, said while no spe­ cific revisions have been produced, the DOE is exploring the most effective alternatives to die current law. ‘'Vie are exploring options on how best to implement die law, but we have nothing definitive yet," Glickman said "These things take time." In 1998, Congress reauthorized the Higher Education Act, which included Souder's provision. Since it went into effect in 2000, die DOE has strictly interpreted it as a universal ban cm student financial aid for students who have an adult con­ viction of drug possession or distribution. 8* * DRUÜS, Pi f* 2 INSIDE A ‘LIFE’ less ordinary LFO’s Brad Fischetti talks with The Daily Texan about the band's new album, stardom and Michael Jordan. 8** Ent*rtalnm *nt, Pag* 8 WURLD & NATION OPINION CLASSIFIEDS COMICS ENTERTAINMENT SPORTS ' High 9 5 t * CONDITIONS 5*6 3 4 7 8 9*10 Low 74 After five s The >ters, poof...Dave’s gone, .n regrets this error.

With the help of foster care, however; they were able to rebuild their fives. O'Donnell ultimately overcame her diffi­ cult circumstances with the help of Preparation for Adult Living, a government service affectionately known as die PALS program. She is now a flourishing undeclared liber­ al arts freshman at the University. She is an active member of several student organiza­ tions, performs on a dance team, volunteers every week at an emergency shelter for teens and is about to move into her very first apartment. And she owes her success in large part to the PALS program. PALS is a state-sponsored program to transition foster children into adulthood by a series of life-skills classes and training. The participants are taught tasks ranging from money management, how to fill out tax A particularly consequential element of the PALS program is its financial rewards. Participants are not only given $1,300 upon completion of the program, but are also entitled to tuition waivers allowing them to attend foe public university of their choice. The tuition waivers can be used for an unlimited period of time and can cover master and doctorate degrees as well. About 350 Texas residents take advantage of the tuition waivers each year; and about five current UT students participated in the program. The PALS program began in 1986 when the federal government recognized foe need to help foster kids just coming out of foe system. It now jointly funds foe social service program with foe state. "Before, it was just like boom, you're 18 and out on foe streets," said Gaye Canchóla, eme of the chief coordinators of foe PALS program in Texas. But now, people like O'Donnell have a readily available support system. "The PALS program helps the kids better themselves and get out of the situations they're in," said Isela Galvan, a psychology 8** PALS, P*g* 2 4 I fror <* avaltabl tri C TfceoV cox uilar In Centrad 1 Numerical ¿mutations of 2000 througi 2060 withdrawal proiectkxw' by Atan Dutton, Unheraty of Tew Bureau of Economic Goofagy 1999 Lucy Quintanilla/ Daily Texan Staff PALS helps UT student prosper State program aids foster children forms, the keys to successful interviews and how to bargain shop.

Without this depressurization, the mines would flood if the aquifer were to be punctured, t. urrently, the water is held in storage ponds and then is a1 leased to nearby creeks, Alcoa spokesman Jim Hodson said. In exchange for the rights to the lignite on the property, Alcoa signed a contract with the San Antonio Water System that would provide the city with 40,000 acre-feet of water per year, which will be pumped from underneath the lig­ nite strip. SAWS would then pay to install a series of water lines running from the plant to San Antonio, although specific plans for the proj­ ect and dates for the export have not been made, officials said. San Antonio's City Public Services purchased the land in the 1970s to use the property's rich lignite deposits to generate electric power for the city, but when CPS officials discovered the cost of purchasing coal from Wyoming would be cheaper; CPS abandoned the project, SAWS offi­ cials said. In a third contract, CPS sold its rights to the water below their property to SAWS, giving the green light for Alcoa to sell the water it pumps out to San Antonio, a dty often criticized for its dependence of the Edward's Aquifer — a source for Austin water. As part of its mining permit from the Texas Railroad Commission, Alcoa has pledged to repair any damage to neighborhood wells by either digging wells deeper or hooking citizens up to the city's water supplier, Aqua Water Supply Corp. "We are committed to do that. That's a depar­ ture from where these farmers and ranchers would be under the right-to-capture rule," said Russ Johnson, an attorney who represents SAWS. "We feel like our project is as friendly to the neighbors as any project could be." Yet Mane Cain, whose family came to the Central Texas town of Lexington in 1864, said the alternatives are not acceptable. She owns 1,230 pecan trees and raises cattle in a plot of land located across the county road from the site of the new mine. Cain says if Alcoa drains the aquifer under her property, her trees and cattle will die. I have a serious vested interest in this," she said. My dad told me 'If you kids don't want to put up with [Alcoa], sell.' I couldn't believe he said that — mother used to always say he loved the land more than us." Neighbors for Neighbors also claims that transferring water to San Antonio will endanger the nearby Lost Pines area and state parks, which depend on the underground springs for water. A 1999 study by the UT Bureau of Economic Geology projected the effects of pumping water out of the aquifer for the next 50 years, the dura­ tion of the contract between Alcoa and SAWS. Alan Dutton, the supervisor of the 12-week study, said the water table will not be adversely affected by the agreííhent. The study was primarily funded by the Texas Water Development Board, but Alcoa, SAWS and Aqua Water— three parties who could ben­ efit from the study's results — provided addi­ tional money for the research. But Dutton said the companies' contributions to the grant did not affect the outcome. "In general, I object to the innuendo that the media seems to emphasize that the source of your funding makes your results questionable," Dutton said. "I don't see the grounds for it." Johnson said he agrees that there was no con­ flict of interest in Dutton's findings. My experience with academic institutions is that they're very hungry for funding but very independent in their analysis," Johnson said. It's hard for me to think it's somehow influ- enceable. I can assure you that the Bureau of Economic Geography would be offended at the thought that the source of funding for their research grant would affect their findings — it doesn't, and it w on't" Neil Carman, dean air chairman of foe Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Qub, said that despite foe findings of the UT study, the farmers, ranch­ ers and state parks will be adversely affected by removing the water from the area. "If s a real big mess because they're going to be pulling all the water out of Lee and Bastrop counties," he said. "The question is are they going to turn those counties into a near desert?" Johnson said San Antonio is pursuing the option to bring in water from Lee and Bastrop counties, but has also promoted water-conserva- tion efforts. The dty does not want to become dependent on using the water pumped from Three Oaks, he said. "The demand on the groundwater source wouldn't be as great on a consistent basis," Johnson said. "There's all kinds of opportunities to transform this project." Alcoa is waiting on its Three Oaks Mine to be approved by state agendes. If approved, Alcoa will stop mining for lignite at the Sandow facili­ ty in Rockdale, officials said. Flowers to leave teaching position DIRECTOR, from 1 She earned two degrees from the University in 1969 and 1970 and a Ph.D. from the University of London in 1973. She has authored, edited and otherwise contributed to numerous books, including two collections of her poetry and four books, which she edited in col­ laboration with Bill Moyers, a journalist and documentary filmmaker. Flowers has served as assodate dean of the UT Graduate School and director of the I lan II Liberal Arts Honors Degree Program, and she is currently the Kelleher Professor of English. She has also worked in television and film, including a 10-part series that aired on KLRU, the Austin PBS .affiliate, called Conversations unth Betty Sue Floioers. "She's an extraordinary person," said John Trimble, a distinguished teaching professor in the Department of English. "She's omni—competent and a woman of terrific social skills, deeply knowledgeable in a.variety of fields and a sheer joy to work with." Flowers said she will miss her teaching career.* "I love teaching and I'm sorry to give up my position at the University; I'll miss my students, but I'm very happy to accept the position at the LBJ Library," Flowers said. AFD trains female cadets in fire rescue AFD, from 1 could demonstrate, 'Yes, you can learn to do this, yes, you can get the tech­ nique and yes, you can make signifi­ cant improvements/" Farrar said. Bara Stone, a two—and—a—half year veteran Austin firefighter, participated in the study to improve her overall strength, she said. Stone said just being fit made it possible for her to pass the predecessor to the CPAT, though she did see significant gains after the study. She did notice the benefit in her job performance. "I felt like I could do my job better because of it," Stone said. "That right there is motivation to continue." As for increasing the number of women in the ranks, Stone said it will take more than simply physically preparing women for the job. "I think it"s one way, but I also think that there aren't more women in the department because they don't know that it"s available to them. And if they do, if s seen as so nontraditional," Stone said. "I didn't ever think, 'I can't be a firefighter because I'm a woman,' but it never crossed my mind to do that." Stone added that recruiting depart­ ment efforts in making firefighting careers accessible to women are work­ ing to change perceptions and Farrar said he hopes to continue the study on a larger scale.

"It gives back something to kids for everything they have lost. It does not replace growing up without a family, but it does show that some good can come out of an oth­ erwise bad situation." When O'Donnell speaks of foster children, she tends to exclude herself because her experience has been partic­ ularly unique. In fact, she ended up with two nuns for parents. Unlike many in her situation, O Donnell had the option of going to live at her father's home in Florida. "I chose to stay in foster care for a couple of reasons: I didn't want to leave my two younger sisters. They were the only family I had. My other brothers and sister were either too old to be in care or with their fathers — all together, we have five different fathers. But also at 16, I just wasn't ready to be on my own," O'Donnell said. O'Donnell's father is a merchant marine engineer who spends a substan­ tial portion of his time abroad. Since O'Donnell would not be able to travel with him, she would be forced to live at his home in Florida without any parental supervision. She and her two sisters eventually found comfort, safety and love in her foster home with the nuns she lovingly calls Mom E. and Mom P. — for Eileen and Pat. She still does not speak with her biological mother. Very soon after O'Donnell was placed under the government's care, she was exposed to the PALS program. But for O'Donnell, all that extra work paid off. After she graduated from the program, she began working at CPS's state office as the PALS youth specialist. O'Donnell acts as a liaison between the participants and staff members by giv­ ing the kids' perspective on policy and program development, writing articles for their newsletter and speaking at conventions. But life after graduating from the PALS program has not always been so productive for O'Donnell. "I had a very, very bad first semester. It really sucked. There was just too much on my plate," O'Donnell said. "That semester, my brother died, and I broke up with my boyfriend of three years. My hobby was sleeping. I didn't go to a class for two months straight. I was put on academic probation." Unfortunately, she was unable to get much help from the University. Glen Baumgaurt, student affairs administrator in the Dean of Students Office, said that while the University does not specifically deal with PALS graduates, it meets their needs through other programs. definitely have numerous pro­ grams which serve students who come from backgrounds where they may have been less prepared," Baumgaurt said. "It is a broader group of students with smaller classes that help the stu­ dents make adjustments. PALS is such a small percentage of that broader group." But Galvan sáid that since there is such a great demand for admission to the University, there is little need for the University to cater to the special needs of former foster children. "These former foster kids have differ­ ent needs than the rest of us," Galvan said. "I think since a lot of the students at UT tend to be from the upper class, it creates a particularly vulnerable and intimidating environment for these kids. UT is impersonal and many times isn't sensitive to lots of issues that are different from those in the main­ stream." Eventually, O'Donnell took advan­ tage of the counseling services offered by the UT Counseling and Mental Health Center to help her recover from depression. But once again, O'Donnell is an exception. Relatively few PALS gradu­ ates choose to use their waivers at the University. "A lot of times, the kids just think "Whoa, UT is out of my league.' But they could possibly get in if they applied," Galvan said. "The kids lose hope. Many don't but some haven't graduated high school or think that their GED is enough. A lot of times, the kids are just focused on getting a job so they won't just be homeless at 18. Many times, foster kids usually try to main­ tain on a daily basis and don't plan for the future." O'Donnell has. And she sees the PALS program as always being a part óf her life. As beneficial as the program has been for O'Donnell, feelings about the PALS program are not all positive. "I don't think it"s fair that foster kids get to have a free ride. Poor people still have to pay for school," said Portia Watson, an English senior. "Just because they don't have parents shouldn't mean they get a free educa­ tion." But Galvan disagrees. "These kids will someday be running this country," she said. "So it's very important that we get to those kids who are forgotten. We foiget those who did­ n't make it— who had to get their GED, who didn't make the best grades, who had to struggle. We foiget about the kids who just need that extra push." Silverman: Provisions deny students option for rehabilitation DRUGS, from 1 As a result, the DOE has made no distinction between those convicted of drug offenses while recip­ ients of aid, and those convicted of drug offenses prior to applying for aid. Consequently, in the 2000-2001 academic year, 9,000 students nationwide were deter­ mined ineligible for aid for at least part of the year. In response, several groups have opposed the DOE's strict interpretation. Paul Hassen, a spokesman for the American Council on Education, said the council embraces a modified provision that would ban aid to only those convicted of drug crimes while recipients of aid. He added that the change would reflect the original intent of the provision and not penalize those who are trying to rehabilitate themselves. "The intent was not to penalize students who had drug problems prior to their college enrollment and who are now trying to turn their lives around/ 1 lassen said. Fo deny them the opportunity to receive student aid because of mistakes they made earlier in their lives seems unfair. To penalize those who received aid and used drugs seems like a better approach." In addition, Hassen said the screening of 14-and-a- half million college students who apply for aid is extremely taxing on financial aid officials, particularly when it excludes only a few thousand students. Our position at the ACE is that we are opposed to any rules or requirements that are onerous, and requir­ ing financial aid officials to screen 14-and-a-half mil­ lion college students to sort out 10,000 students is excessive, Hassen said. "And to soften this provision and thus make it more flexible and less bureaucratic is a positive step." Steven Silverman, a campus coordinator for the Drug Reform Coordination Network, said the net­ work opposes the current provision because it penal­ izes drug offenders who have already been legally dis­ ciplined. "[The provisions] produce a double jeopardy — they penalize students who have already been penal­ ized by tire courts," Silverman said. Silverman said the provision is unnecessary because judges already have the option of excluding offenders from receiving future student aid. "Judges already have at their discretion the option to eliminate the offender from receiving any future aid, yet rarely do so because they are interested in [the offender's potential] rehabilitation and this law runs counter to that," Silverman said. In addition, Silverman said die current provision is sodo-economically discriminatory because typically, die economically disadvantaged apply for aid. Silverman said it is also racially discriminatory, since there is a high­ er occurrence of minority drug convictions.

IH-35, Suite 200 Austin (512)459-3119 1 / i PGA Championship gets under way in Georgia By The Associated Press DULUTH, Ga. — Two years behind schedule, the rivalry between Tiger Woods and David Duval has finally come to fruition. Excuse these guys if they don't get all worked up with excitement. "They want Tiger to have a rival," Duval said Tuesday, looking ahead to the PGA Championship which begins Thursday at Atlanta Athletic Club. "Whatever." From Phil Mickelson to Sergio Garcia, Woods has stared down many would-be challengers during his short but brilliant career. In Duval's case, this is the second time around. In 1999, Duval bumped Woods from No. 1 in the world with the best run of his career, including four victories before the Masters. Their budding rivalry even sparked the prime-time, made-for-TV Showdown at Sherwood. Woods, of course, reclaimed the top spot in the rankings and left Duval — and everyone else, for that matter in the dust by winning five of six majors beginning with the 1999 PGA Championship. So much for another Amie vs. Jack. Woods' streak of four straight majors — the "Tiger Slam ended in June when Retief Goosen won the U.S. Open. Unfortunately, Tiger vs. Goose doesn't have much of a ring to it. Tiger vs. Duval certainly does, and the latter did his part a month ago by claiming his first major title at the British Open. The man in the wraparound sunglasses has again become the most compelling player this side of Woods. I think he s going to be a little more confident now in major championships because he knows what it takes to win a major championship," Woods said. "Anyone who wins a major understands, knows what it takes coming down the stretch, what it takes to pre­ pare for a major, what kind of mental frame you need to have for the entire week, and what kind of game it takes. "David accomplished all of the above." Duval refuses to be tugged into the me-vs.-him mentality. He takes no special satisfaction in beating any particular player, especially a friend such as Woods. "I just want to play great," Duval said. "I don't think in terms of a rivalry. I view him as somebody I have to beat. I don't view him as my sole competi­ tion." r The emotional Woods and icy Duval would seem to have little in common, but their relationship has grown over the years. They're represented by the same agency. They're raking in millions from the same sponsor. They're fishing buddies from time to time. "We have very similar interests, very similar per­ spectives on life," Woods said. "Put it this way: I've enjoyed getting to know David. I know he doesn't open up to everybody. That's fine. But if he does know you and does trust you, then he'll open up quite a bit." For all the talk of another "Battle of Atlanta," it would certainly be unfair to call this a two-man tour­ nament. Garcia is a viable contender who finished just one shot back of Woods in the memorable 1999 PGA Championship. With Duval off the market, Mickelson has the undisputed — and dreaded — title of "best player never to win a major." "I knew David would win one," Woods said. "Phil will win one. It's a matter of time." Mickelson is among the favorites on the Highlands Course, where anyone with a booming driver should have a big advantage. He certainly doesn't mask his desire to finally break through in a major. "It has taken a lot more time than I anticipated and I hope that it will eventually come," Mickelson said. "I believe that it will. This week is a nice place to start." Woods is coming off a 25th-place finish at the British Open, his worst showing in a major since 1998. He has played four tournaments without a top-10 finish. Asked to rate his game on a scale of 1 to 10, Woods joked, "Somewhere in there." Still, the two-time defending champion admitted that his play has not been as consistently good as it was a year ago, when he won 10 times and became the first man since J3en Hogan in 1953 to win three majors Associated Press Tiger Woods cpntinues his rivalry with Duval and will try to defend the crown he won in last year’s PGA. in one season. "It's not like I've played so bad that I've gone off the map, he said. I was just a little bit off this summer. The great thing is I've played well before in the past and I know what it feels like. I just need to get it — and keep it." Woods rarely hit driver at the U.S. Open because of the firm conditions and bending fairways of Southern Hills. Ditto for Royal Lytham & St. Annes, where addi­ tional pot bunkers — bringing the total to 196 — required navigation, not sheer power. The PGA Championship is different. "This is a perfect setup for Tiger," Goosen said. He s going to be smiling all the way around the course." The Daily Texan Thursday, August 16, 2001 P a g » 9 Round Rock falls to Wichita again, 5-1 EXPRESS, from 10 i What a series Berroa has had against us," manager Jackie Moore said. "His defense has been great to go along with his hitting." Express starting pitcher Travis Smith, the Texas League's leader in ERA, came into the game hoping to silence the Wichita batters, but he was unsuccessful as the Express trailed 4-0 after three innings. Round Rock finally got on the board, ending a 15-inning scoreless streak, when Lane hit a solo home run out to left field in the bottom of the fourth. Lane stands out on offense for Round Rock in this series with five of their 11 hits and all four RBIs. The score stayed 4-1 until Wichita starter Kiko Calero ran into trouble in the sixth. Calero was coasting with nine strikeouts and pnly one hit allowed. Carlos Maldonado was replaced by Nate Field, who was exactly what the struggling Express offense needed to score some runs. Field's first two pitches were wild, allow­ ing Maldonado and Bruntlett to score. Field went on to walk the next two batters, and with two on and no outs the Express seemed poised to tie the game. However, Field regained his composure and retired the heart of the Express lineup, striking out Lane, Kevin Bums and getting Charley Carter to ground out, leaving the two runners stranded. Wichita padded their lead in the eighth on a sacrifice fly from Joe Caruso that scored Brian Shackleford. Round Rock tried to answer in the bottom of the inning by putting runners on second and third with two outs. Charley Carter hit a hard grounder to the left side of the infield which shortstop Berroa made a diving stop on. Hustling down the line, Carter slid feet first into the base only to have the throw arrive a split second earlier. That would be the last scoring opportunity for Round Rock as Brad Voyles would pitch a scoreless ninth for his third save of the season. "We played hard to stay in the ballgame, but just could­ n't come up with that big hit tonight," said Moore. Former safety moves to linebacker as Horns get quicker on defensive side JACKSON, from 10 "Now they are going to five wides, spreading the defense out, so now we have a lot of guys on the field who can cover." New Texas defensive backs coach Duane Akina, Arizona's defensive coordinator last season, was one of the first to explain the move to Jackson. Even though Jackson is now officially a linebacker, in Akina's system he is still a strong safety. "The physical matchup now goes back to our side because he has long arms to match up on 6-5 and 6-6 guys, Akina said. Fie can also cover the tight end so we can put Nathan Vasher on a wide receiver." The move has Jackson remembering his sophomore season when he posted a team-high 59 solo tackles. When I was a safety I loved to come up and hit," Jackson said. "I love to take on guys, and that's the best part of being a linebacker. I get to blitz more and I get to be up on the line in the trenches with the big men." With his current role, Jackson said he feels like he is part of both Texas' linebacker corps as well as its defensive backfield. When I am covering the tight end I arn jamming him like a strong safety," he said. "But when I have to take on a lineman I take them on like a linebacker. I have the best of both worlds."

(On that note, Mel, don't let P.J. start any more one-sided fistfights with computers). Damien, aside from driving me to Brackenridge that time and saving the day when Scott told the cops he lived at your apartment, your unending sometimes sarcasm and mousy on-the-phone-with-your-girlfriend voice always kept me laughing. Here's hoping neither of us stays unemployed long. Jennie, thanks for all your help in preparing me for this job and thanks especially for making this paper so exceptional during your tenure as M.E. Keep reading this column, though, because I may accidentally libel some­ one later. John, you re already well on your way to being a good sports writer, considering you've got the uniform already, a Hawaiian shirt, loafers, no socks and a panama hat. Since I don t think you have time to learn the banjo, fiddle and mandolin in the next year or two, you'll have to settle for being a writer. Do me a favor and match Scott beer for beer some night. Then go listen to Townes Van Zandt — it'll make more sense that way. Hunter, enough with the German already. We know you re bilingual. That said, we also know you're going to get a sweet job in Europe as a correspondent because of that fact — if you can pull yourself off the couch. Mercedes, I d just like to say "s w a littlbitre eringnce," which roughly translates to, "always read AP stories before you put them in the paper."

I've enjoyed our Throwdowns at the Showdown and Smokey and the Bandit screenings, and your ability to make even strippers blush is unparalleled. You're also proof that the oddsmakers don't always get it right, con­ sidering your 20-1 triumph over your spinal injury a few years back. Erin and Matt, I have but one suggestion: Keep the entertainment door open more often. I wish we'd have discussed movies and music more often, but I always walked by the door without knowing whether you were in there. We did have a great summer of entertainment pages, though, so I assume you were in there. Jesse, if there's something in this newsroom you can't do, please let Kristin know so you can learn how to do it in a few days. I suspect the only thing you can't pull off down here is writing a negative review of *N Sync.

Maybe some day you'll find one of those old "Dave" pens in your office. Mindy, I praise your devotion to the copy desk, your ever-present smile at work and your ability to throw monster parties. Keep up the good work this fall and whip those copy editors into shape. I hope you'll find a suitable replacement to hang out with you on the stair­ well after the paper gets finished every night, once I'm gone. Rae Ann, I hope some day you and Forehead Guy from the soap opera fall madly in love and have a daugh­ ter who looks like Julie Andrews. Until then, you and Mindy please try to keep Scott in his cage. » Lucy, I thought long and hard about forcing you to make a map for this column. But I think you've reached your map quota for the summer. Maybe a timeline? Oh, and tell your mom thanks for the barbecue. Lalana, thanks for the "Cowboy Wisdom." Here's some cowboy wisdom I learned the hard way: If you and another person are trying to get away from a charging bull, you don't have to be faster than the bull — just quicker than the other person.

Ryan, the best thing about having you as news editor was knowing if a fire broke out, I wouldn't have to try to cover it. Considering my sports background, that's prob- ably a good idea. Thanks for being so damn good at your job. Next time the Old 97's are in Austin, we'll be there. Rachel, you wrote a mountain of stories this summer and still managed to make them all interesting. Well, most of them, anyway. I look forward to seeing your byline in a big metro paper one day. Mike, if anyone could possibly know more about redistricting than you, I don't want to meet him. Devin, as much as you know about science, if I had met you three years ago, I might have pulled off a C in biology that last time. Andrew, something tells me I'll see you in a nearby watering hole before the year is over. I can't wait to see the sports page with your photos in it this fall. Cha-Chee, only Don Ho owns more Hawaiian shirts than you — but he wears pants. You're my kind of coworker — if you were any more laid-back, you'd be horizontal. Marshall, after you passed "Media Whoredom 101" with flying colors, I knew you were going to be a good editor. You got CNN and The Today Show — I got Court TV. But it was an interesting first day on the job, wasn't it? Now that the practice time is over, it's time for the Maher regime to kick into overdrive. Have a good year, and get yourself an armored bike. Stephen, for a guy who pumps out consistent, intelli­ gent editorials, you sure know a lot about sports. Keep wearing Ranger red. Kristin, the ship is still on course, as promised, and I hand you the wheel knowing it's only going to get better. I know you'll make us all proud this year. Richard, I learned more from you than from most of my journalism profs. I don't know how you manage to wade through stacks of studeqt-written copy and still have the energy left to explain some piece of style minu- tia at midnight, but I'm glad you do. Along those lines, there are a few professors who did teach me something: Rusty Todd, Griff Singer, Melanie Hauser, G.W. Babb, Peter Lasalle and Mercedes Lynn de Uriarte. Mike and Augie, thanks for treating this Texan reporter just as you would any other member of the media. Chris, sorry we didn't hang out enough during col­ lege, but you had your running and I had my writing. There was that brief period where the two intertwined, which was bizarre to say the least. It's funny how small the world can get sometimes. • Lindsey, you're one of the nicest people I've ever met and I'm glad we managed to stay in contact throughout most of our time here in Austin, except for that one year where we lived right down the street from one another.

Jon Lieber pitched a three-hitter and Joe Girardi drove in three runs as the Cubs defeated Houston 5-1 Wednesday night and opened a one-and-a-half-game margin over the second-place Astros. Chicago lost the series opener and dropped out of first place for the first time since May 29, then rebounded to win con­ secutive games for the first time since Aug. 7-8 against Colorado. "This is how we've played all year," Cubs manager Don Baylor said. "We've pitched well, and we've gotten our hits when we can, and they count most of the time." Lieber (16-5), coming off an eight-hitter against San Francisco, improved to 13-2 with a 3.19 ERA in his last 16 starts. He allowed Lance Berkman's homer, second-inning Craig Biggio's third- inning double and Jeff Bagwell's fourth-inning single, then retired his final 18 batters. jystnB fj Monday; Cubs 5, Astros 1 Record: 67 53, 2nd 7:05 p.m. in NL Central vs. Pittsburgh, today, Next Game: Houston "We just got dominat­ ed," Bagwell said.

Leading The Way Jackson makes transition from safety to linebacker By Travis Richmond Daily Texan Staff As teams in the Big 12 continue to go airborne on offense, defenses are making adjustments across the conference. Defensive ends are shifting inside to tackle, linebackers are becoming ends, and comerbacks are becoming safeties. Then there are players like Texas' Lee Jackson, who are being relabeled without changing their game. Jackson, a 6-foot 3-inch, 205- pound senior for the Longhorns, will line up as an outside line­ backer this season after playing his first three as a strong safety. Such a move would usually be precipitated on a player bulking up or being too slow to cover receivers in the secondary. That is not the case with Jackson, whose* speed and size are perfect for a safety, which is exactly why the Texas coaching staff want him playing linebacker. "We're continuing to work to get more speed on the field, and that's really what Lee Jackson is all about,'' Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "H e can run enough to blitz and he can drop into pass coverage, which is something he has done for three years." Jackson was supposed to help anchor the Texas secondaiy a year Practice Schedule Today Aug. 17 Aug. 18 Aug. 20 Aug. 21 Aug. 22 Aug. 23 9 p.m. Scrimmage* 9 a.m./ 7 p.m. 9 a.m. Scrimmage* 9 a.m./ 7 p.m. 3 p.m. 9 a m / 6p.m* 3 p.m. All practices are open to the public until Aug. 27 and will be held at Frank Denius Athletic Fields, located on the corner of 26th and Red River streets. ♦Denotes scrimmage at Royal-Memorial Stadium Fan Appreciation Day will be Aug. 19 at Royal Memorial Stadium from 2 - 4:30 p.m. along with cornerback ago, Jackson Jammer, but Q uentin pulled a hamstring in the second game of the season at Stanford and played sparingly the rest of the season. In that time, redshirt freshman Dakarai Pearson emerged as a solid safety, and with comerbacks Ahmad Brooks and Nathan Vasher also moving to safety, Jackson became a candidate to be moved. When Jackson was approached with the idea in the second week of spring workouts, he was imme­ diately intrigued. "I really hadn't played since the Stanford game, and I wanted to do all I could to get back on the field," Jackson said. At the end of the spring Jackson was running second-team behind Tyrone Jones, and the two began fall practice in the same positions. Jones had to sit out one practice day this week after bruising his shoulder, and Jackson got his break to work with the first team. On that day, Jackson impressed Texas defensive coordinator Carl Reese enough to earn a promotion. "That's what happens when you have competition. Lee had a great day while [Tyrone] was gone, came back out and had a second great day. So you play the guy who is really doing the job," Reese said. "There is nothing wrong with Tyrone, though he is going to have to fight and scratch to be the guy who gets on the field first." Last season, Reese said his defense was in a traditional four- lineman, three-linebacker set only 33 percent of the time. By moving Jackson to the strongside line­ backer position, Texas has five defensive backs on the field when­ ever he is in the game. "Playing teams like OU and Oregon, it's plain to see most of the time teams don't like to run straight at you," Jackson said.

Chrlssy Ragan/ Daily Texan Staff Cowboys alter offensive playcalling By The Associated Press OXNARD, Calif. — Look for fewer bombs, more handoffs and more fake handoffs from the Dallas Cowboys this season. That's the crux of the new offensive game plan the team has adopted as part of its change in quarterbacks from Tony Banks to rookie Quincy Carter. Banks' strength was the deep ball, which fit perfectly with speedy receivers Joey Galloway and Raghib Ismail. Carter's best asset is his mobility, making him a threat to run or to throw on the run. The Cowboys already have begun working on more play-action passes, bootlegs, sprintouts and rollouts. The deep pass is still in the arsenal, it just won't be used as often. While scoring points remains the goal, Dallas would like to take as much time as possible to get to the end zone. The best way to keep the clock moving is to run the ball, which means more of an emphasis on Dallas' most reliable weapon, Emmitt Smith. "That's the guy who is going to make this team go," Carter said Wednesday, his second day in charge of the offense. "I'm just going to be the captain behind the ship. Emmitt7s going to be the guy we rely on." No matter the label surrounding the offense — timing-based, vertical passing attack or ball-control — Smith is always a vital part because his success sets up everything else. , _____ time "My job is still my job," said Smith, whose extra carries should help with the 1,560 yards he needs to pass Walter Payton to become the NFL's all- leading rusher. Next preseason game: "You can count on me. I Cowboys vs. Saints, will be there." Saturday, 7:05 p.m. * Campo said he real- ized the importance of Superdome slowing the game dur­ ing Saturday's preseason loss to Denver. The Cowboys had two straight short drives while the Broncos took their time, thus wearing out the Dallas defense. If this works, Campo will preserve his defense while wearing out the opponents' defense. It7s really not a new offense. It's just a little different emphasis," Campo said. Our playbook is flexible enough that we have everything in it we need. We just need to be geared to the guys that we've got calling the signals."

I'm telling you because you, the N— / proverbial Reader we always try to please, may find yourself in a situation very similar to mine. Or you may just head straight for the cross­ word puzzle. The way I see it, rodghly speaking, you could compare the first three years to the Dark Ages and the last two to the Renaissance, and you'd have a pretty accurate portrayal of the drastic change in my life that occurred the moment I walked down the stairs and into the basement and became a part of The Daily Texan. Those first three years were rough. There were bad times and worse times. Friends packed up and left. Grades came back, and they were not good. I was a pre-med biology major because it sounded like something to do at the time, but I wasn't too fond of taking chemistry classes twice and bringing down D's both times. At least I was con­ sistent. Sometime around the fall of 1999, things clicked. Maybe it was an adverse reaction to the Krebs cycle. Maybe it was the reappearance of latent memories from childhood, when my idea of fun was to sit around and "broadcast" foot­ ball g&mes between my G.I. Joe and He- Man figures into a tape recorder. Maybe it was fate or karma, I don't know. But I like to think some benevolent force brought me» down those stairs. I walked into the sports office and took the men's cross country beat. I fig­ ured if I could get to baseball before I graduated,* I'd have accomplished something. And I did get to baseball. Then I became the managing editor because, as my dad is fond of saying, "Even a blind hog stumbles on an acorn once in a while." I guess I'm the blind hog and the Texan's the acorn, although I'm never exactly sure. So I made it. I had a wild ride here at this damn fine paper, and I can't imag­ ine my life without it. Now, if you've ever read one of these -30- columns, you know they're a bit like Oscar acceptance speeches. Only Texan staffers didn't win anything we're not famous, we sure as hell aren't decked out in clothes that cost six figures, and we don't have an audi­ ence of a billion people.

Brooks, we had some good times that first semester. Probably too many. Kamran, I'll let you be the green piece without complaint if we ever end up playing Trivial Pursuit again. And I'U still beat you, provided you don't get lucky with those friggin' science ques­ tions. Rooming with you helped me come to the conclusion that I didn't want to be a doctor, because I saw for the first time someone who really want­ ed to. Good luck with the cadavers down there in med school. Jimmy, you were the best word editor I ever had. I watched in awe as you put down a few dozen Budweisers at the media fish fry at Royal-Memorial Stadium a couple of years ago. Now the SIDs over in Bellmont finally know where all the beer went that night. Paul, anybody who would argue with me for a half-hour over the placement of a hyphen deserves some credit. Anyone who would willingly sit in a car for three hours, through a torrential down­ pour, while Robby and I sang Pearl Jam tunes at the top of our lungs until we got to the concert, deserves a Medal of Honor. I can almost hear you yelling on the Dallas bootleg. Let's get that cover band started immediately. I can only •— SESSIONS, 9
