Audit for Capital Metro planned Rita Paul Daily Texan Staff The University will conduct an audit of Capital Metro's UT shuttle bus service to evaluate efficien­ cy and fiscal allocation, a UT vice president said Friday. The audit comes in response to a letter written Oct. 23 by Student Government Vice President Randy C ooke to UT interim President Peter Flawn. In the letter, Cooke asked for an internal audit of the shuttle service because of "gross dis­ crepan cies the University." that rem ain unknow n to Cooke referred to Capital Metro's announcement last spring that it had provided 8,000 extra service hours for the 1995-% academic year. The bus com­ pany said it will not provide the extra service hours again after this fall unless they are paid for by the University, Cooke said. "If Capital Metro can provide 8,000 hours of extra service without even knowing it, the likeli­ hood of something else being out of place is very high," Cooke said. Charles Franklin, vice president for business affairs, said it has not yet been determined when the audit will take place and how much it will cost. Whether the audit will be conducted by the University's internal auditing department or an P la a s a s e e A u d i t pagt 2 ship," Chodorow said in the state­ ship," Chodorow said in the sta! ment. "That is what I must do now. 1 think it is necessary and appropriate for me to step down as provost." His resignation takes effect Dec. 31. Chodorow , a professor of m edieval h istory, has served as provost at the U niversity of Pennsylvania since 1994. Before tak­ ing that position , Chodorow climbed the administrative hierar­ chy of the University of California at San Diego for 26 years. He began as an assistant professor in 1968 and left as associate vice chancellor of academic planning and dean of arts and humanities.

The upcom ing Nov. 4 special election will allow Travis County voters to vote on nearly $100 mil­ lion for various projects. Thanks to a lawsuit by the group A u stin ites for a L ittle Less Corruption, city voters will also be able to limit the campaign contribu tions an A ustin m ayoral or city council candidate can receive. One of the proposed amendments, limit­ ing political contributions to $100 per individual each election cy cle, would give citizens with low incomes a better chance of being able to run for office, said Kirk Mitchell, a member of Austinites for a Little Less Corruption. Mitchell said the high cost of campaigns dis­ courage many qualified candidates from entering races. "They just don't know where the hell they will find the $120,000 they need to run," he said. "We are just trying to gain a cleaner process. Mitchell said his group proposed the amendment because they feel large development corporations have too much influence on city officials. But Bill Collier, a spokesman for developers Freeport McMoRan, said not all large donations come from corporations. He noted that musi­ cian and en v iron m en talist Don Henley has made sizable donations to environm ental candidates in Austin in die last few years. Coundlmember Bill Spelman, who advocates increasing the limit to the $200 range, has said limiting contribu­ tions still might not greatly affect can­ didates who are already wealthy. But he also said contributions should be curbed because large dona­ tions, while they may not always influence behavior, might give voters the impression that they do. "There is too much money float­ ing around, and I d on 't think it makes for good public policy in the long run," Spelman said. Two of the bond propositions on Tuesday's countywide ballot would collectively set aside nearly $8 mil­ lion to buy land for the proposed Texas Highway 130 and Highway 45. Highway 130, which will stretch from Georgetown to Seguin, will alleviate heavy traffic on the con­ gested Interstate 35, Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said. "We are in the midst of a growing transportation crises, he said V\e need to solve this by planning ahead. " But Karen Akins, a member of the group Taxpayers Against Suburban Sprawl, said voters should not be asked to allocate $4 million to the project until it is known where the exact route will be, and how it will affect the surrounding areas. Settlement ends threat of Amtrak strike, increases worker wages WASHINGTON — A labor agree­ ment reached Sunday between Amtrak and maintenance workers averted a possible national passen­ ger rail strike that would have dis­ rupted travel for hundreds of thou­ sands of people. The threat of a shutdown had hung for months ovar long-distance passengers nationally and daily commuters in a half-dozen major dties, just as die railroad has been fighting a # bankruptcy. The settlement gives workers "a fair and deserved [wagej increase while preserving die financial integri­ ty of the com p an y/' the Amtrak chairman, Tom Downs, said. For die agreement to hold, con­ gressional approval is required for an Amtrak rescue package already undo consideration on Capitol Hill. That package has been stalled in Congress over provisions that would relax soiie labor protections. Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater, who brought the parties together for days of talks that stretched overnight into Sunday, urged lawmakers to act quickly. A prolonged shutdown would have forced Amtrak's 54,000 daily passengers to find other travel and could have led to the suspension of commuter rail services for more than 500,000 people in the Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New York and Washington metro­ politan areas. l c a innnjiícian«> ser- Apart from its long-distance ser­ vices, Amtrak provides urban rail com m uter tran sportation under contract in some cities. O verall, Amtrak serves 500 com m unities, scores of them with no air or city-to- dty bus transportation. The tentative three-year contract gives the 2,300 m em bers of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees a wage increase each year, but it will amount to less than the annual 3 percent raise proposed earlier by mediators. earlier bv mediators. Officials refused to give details until the contract goes for ratification to workers and the Amtrak board. After the parties agreed Monday night to extend negotiations for eight days past Tuesday's midnight dead­ line, a strike could have started as early as Thursday of this week Slater announced the deal at a news conference, flanked by Downs and Jed Dodd, the union's general chairman.

The U n iv e rsity pays for 142,500 hours of Capital Metro shuttle service per semester. Student fees fund about 138,000 hours per semester, costing about $4 million per year, Cooke said. After Capital Metro refused to pav for the extra service hours past foe fall sem ester, the U T Sh u ttle Bus Committee received $84,777 in student service fee reserve funds. Fee reserves are the unused portion of allocated funds given to organizations by the University. C apital M etro agreed to fund the * shuttle bus deficit for the 1997 fall semester, and foe fee reserves w ill fund * foe deficit for foe spring semester. But * Capital M etro is considering cutting I summer service unless it receives an * $88,134 increase, Cooke said. | Capital Metro is already considering ending Sunday bus service, ending foe Campus Loop service an hour earlier and rem oving the counterclockwise Campus Loop route to accommodate fiscal cutbacks, he added. Cutting service poses a problem since an increased number o f students are relying on bus service, Cooke said. W ith recent reductions in parking space and many students livin g in off-campus housing, use of shuttle services has increased significantly, he said. Som e students said they are not happy with the proposed solutions. "T h e shuttle bus is m y p rim ary means of getting to cam pus," said Richard W herry, an economics senior. " If an a u d it w ill p reven t cu ttin g Sunday service and increase bus effi­ ciency, an audit is necessary."

The a d v is o ry com m ittee w as form ed last spring after form er U T President Robert Berdahl announced that he would leave to become chan­ cellor of foe University of California at Berkeley. Peter Flawn, who was U T president from 1979 to 1985, has been serving as interim president since July. S h irle y Stru m K en n y, the o n ly female finalist, received undergradu­ ate degrees in English and journalism from the U n iv e rs ity in 1955 and taught at foe University from 1955-56 and from 1958-59. Befo re becom ing SU N Y - Sto n y Brook's first female president in 1994, she served as president of Queens College in N ew York from 1985-1994. She was previously named a finalist for the the ch an cello rsh ip of University of Georgia System. "A ll foe candidates are strong, but I do like foe fact that she has strong ties to the University, especially foe fact that she is an alum na," said C abinet of College Councils C hairw om an Lisa Henken, a member of foe Presidential Search Committee. "The great thing about her is that she is a person with not only vision but foe ability to get things done." As provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at Illinois, Larry R. Faulkner holds the same position at the school that Berdahl held there before becoming U T president in 1993. Faulkner received a doctorate from the U n iv e rs ity in 1969. H e taught chemistry here during foe 1983-84 aca­ demic year. Like Chodorow, he was also a finalist for the U n iversity of Michigan presidency. Richard Sisson, a political scientist, has served as an administrator at Ohio State University since 1993. Before tak­ ing that position, he was foe senior vice chancellor for academic affairs at U C LA . John D. W iley, a professor of electri­ cal and com puter engineering, has served as an ad m in istrato r at the U n iv e rsity of W isconsin-M adison since 1982. None of the finalists are minorities, a fact that was criticized by some U T students Friday. "W e are disappointed in the presi­ dent search outcome, which does not include any applicants of color," said C arl V illa rre a l, a spokesm an for Students for Access and Opportunity. Leberm ann said the com m ittee activ ely sought minority applicants. "I personally called several people of color," he said Friday at an open meeting between students and U T regents in the U n iversity Teaching Center.

D elegates sp o k e rep eated ly of b re a k in g th e d o m in a n c e of th e Democratic and Republican parties in American politics. However, they and their leaders did not outline a single strategy for doing it. Sometimes, Reform Party leaders talked only about influencing the debate on issues such as campaign finance reform and the federal b u d ­ get. O ther tim es, they advocated electing candidates by starting with municipal and state elections. They received praise and enthu­ siasm from Perot b u t little in the way of actual advice. Perot said the party m ust attract disgruntled Americans who d o n 't vote, b u t h is com m en ts w ere in context of his com plaints th at he w ould be been elected president in 1992 had m ost people voted their consciences. "This is going to be a really great adventure, Perot said during his keynote a d d re ss S atu rd ay night. " W e 'v e ju st got to keep u p th e fight." In stead of talk in g about party unity and goals, Perot spent most of his sp e e c h o n o th e r issu es, em phasizing his complaints about leg islatio n before C o ngress that would overhaul the patent system Perot said the legislation would m ake it easier for large co rp o ra­ tions, especially foreign ones to steal inventors' ideas.

But ballot status does not neces­ sarily tra n sla te into stre n g th . In Kansas, for exam ple, few er th an 1,200 of the state's 1.4 million regis­ tered voters are affiliated with the Reform Party, and that's less than one-eighth the num ber registered as Libertarians. Some delegates and activists said the party must start by electing city council members, county commis­ sioners and school board members. "We need to build from the local level, ju st b u ild it from the b o t­ tom," said Charlie Patel, a Univer­ sity of Alabama in Huntsville stu ­ dent and vice chairman of a fledg­ ling college Reform Party’ group.

VIEWPOINT Report card Eight m onths ago, Student G overnm ent President M arlen W hit­ ley and Vice President Randy Cooke were inaugurated, after defeating SMART candidates Jason Itkin and Kyle H erm an in a runoff election. Running on the Vision and Active Leadership U nited in Excellence (VALUE) ticket, W hitley and Cooke m ade a great manv political promises. The fate of three of their boldest pledges are as follows: ■ Promise No. 1 — "VALUE does not see any reason to dwell on the H opw ood decision itself. The decision is now a piece of histo­ ry and VALUE believes that an issue of m uch greater concern is the University's Post-H opw ood Initiative." — VALUE cam paign literature, Feb. 11, 1997. There is little the Student G overnm ent can do to affect the 5th U.S. Circuit C ourt of Appeals. In a way, this prom ise was politi­ cally astute, as it autom atically m itigated any attem pts to pigeon­ hole Whitley, an African-American, as the "m inority can d id ate.' However, soon after the inauguration, W hitley and Cooke began to "dwell" on H opw ood, a ruling which requires little reflection: it straightforw ardly renders the argum ent over racial preferences moot As recently as W ednesday, Whitley again articulated his fer­ vor for affirm ative action/racial preferences at an NAACP forum In a June 18 press release, Cooke stated that the SG was on the verge of unveiling a bold new initiative that challenges the after- m ath of the H opw ood decision." This initiative was to become their tabled 'post-H opw ood sum m it," which has been postponed tw ice and now consolidated with the annual Hem an Sweatt Sym­ p o s iu m on Civil Rights, a U niversity-sponsored event "The scope of H opw ood exceeds the boundaries of the state of Texas," W hitley said, according to the same prepared statement. We plan to actively lead in President C linton's vision for bridg­ ing the racial gap." ■ Promise No. 2 — "Both Marlen and Randy have agreed to give up the stipends given to the Student Governm ent President and Vice President. " — VALUE cam paign literature, Feb. 11, 1997. The president receives a stipend of KOOO, while the the vice president gets $2,500. The stipend issue was central to the spring's SG presidential contest. Itkin and H erm an planned on taking the stipends, b u t advocated a student referendum to decide the fate ot the sC salaries. ACTION presidential candidate Wes W ynne and his VP candidate Marc Levin vowed to refuse their stipends if elected and p ro m ise d to abolish the stipend system altogether In an Oct 19 letter sent to this publication, Whitley and Cooke announced that "unexpected financial burdens" prevent them trom honoring their prom ise. They do plan on donating halt of e v e n paycheck from N ovem ber through April to various philan­ t h r o p ic c a u s e s around cam pus." Regardless of the legitimacy of their financial burdens, they should not have m ade a promise that w as too difficult to keep. Originally, they were to donate the stipends to help fund the D esignated Driver Program, w hich is still suffering from a great m any financial woes ■ Prom ise No. 3 "Beginning in Fall 1997, VALUE will make an additional parking perm it available for sale to all students. I his additional perm it will allow parking after 6 p.m. in approxim ate- h half ot all parking spaces currently reserved for faculty use. Ihe sale of this $15 perm it and im plem entation of this program will tret up several hundred parking spaces around campus. — V \LL T cam paign literature, Feb. 11, 1997. O bvioush no such action has been taken. In tact, much to the , hagrin ot the average com m uter, there are approxim ately 2,000 tew < r park in g places on cam pus since the VALLE adm inistration took office Com m uters often park at U1 Shuttle stops and catch the bus to c a m p u s these days, som ething almost unheard of in vears past. YCT diversity On Monday anti-meritocracy affirma­ tive action advocates rallied as part of a National Dav ot Action" at universities that have dismantled racial preferences polices. Many white students were heard chanting for diversity and dis­ played their opposition to the Hopwood decision. The Texan s front page on Tues­ day featured Pete Haney and Ben Chapell, two white males, who protested Hopwood and stood behind a banner that read "Open it up [the University’] or shut it down Seeing that Pete and Ben are so pro­ diversity, the Young Conservatives of Texas invite them to Mgn our ACT Racial Preferences Pledge." In response to the clamor for more "diversity” at UT, we present an innovative idea for increas­ ing African-American and Hispanic enrollment While YCT strongly opposes all terms of racial preferences, we chal­ lenge white and Asian supporters ot racial set-asides to sign a pledge to allow themselves to be replaced with a black or Hispanic student for the sake of advanc­ ing diversity’. YCT believes this idea can also be applied to the admissions and hinng process. White and Asian applicants could check a box to indicate that they’, if accepted., will gladlv give up their spot at UT so that a less-qualified black or His­ panic student can attend. We invite white and Asian members of SAO, specifically Pete and Ben. to sign this pledge. Y'all asked for "options for action, so check die mail for copies of the pledge.

For the record University Alliance has never lobbied tor or against affirmative action policies nor has it advanced a par­ ticular political group's agenda. The Texan evidently has an odd idea of what makes an organization a pressure group, since UA has done nothing to earn that label. Unless, of course, one sees strong-arm tac­ tics in programs like our most recent gath­ ering, which presented Christian gays with information about reclaiming their spiritual identify. UA is composed of very diverse people, many of whom have dif­ fering political beliefs. For example, w’hile it is true that Quent Reese is a proud socialist, I am a Republican and, therefore, do not share his beliefs about raaal pref­ erences or manv other issues. From its founding University Alliance has had an ability to bring together peo­ ple from differing political philosophies, races and religions to serve the needs of the University's lesbigay students. Your attempt to discredit Reese and Villarreal bv virtue of their affiliation with a homosexual group represents gay-baiting at its worst. However, I believe that most members of the LT community are mature enough to realize that a person's sexual onentation really savs nothing about his political views. In the future, instead ot making false statements about University Alliance, perhaps you will take a cue from an orga­ nization whose members have already discovered how’ to get bevond personal differences and work together Perhaps then there would be more of a focus on the issues involved in the post-Hopwood controversy, rather than on personalities. But that probably wouldn't attract nearly so many readers. Tom Asimos Operations coordinator University Alliance [Editor's Note.

E ssentially, this ill- conceived am endm ent is an a tte m p t by Yankee carpetbaggers and eastern banks to feast on innocent, unassum ing, h a rd w o rk in g sm all b u si­ n essm en of Texas. In Texas, it has been illegal for 157 years to bo rro w on hom e equity, w hich is defined as the m ark et value of a ho m estead m inus any o u t­ sta n d in g debt secured by the hom estead. The concept gives teeth to Texas' h om estead exem p­ tio n laws. W hen Texas w as a R epublic, a banking crisis in itiated one of the m ost p ro fo u n d d eb to r law s in the w orld, the ho m estead exem ption. W ith th is p rovision, T exans w h o u n e x p e c te d ly d efau lted on loans for a business, an oil well, a car or anything else d u rin g h a rd tim es could n ot lose their home. In fact, according to Sections 41 and 42 of the T exas P ro p e rty C ode, T exas d e b to rs have n u m ero u s hom estead protections. The code lists a nu m b er of things a deb to r can keep, as long as th e ir value do esn 't ad d up to m ore th an $60,000. C reditors cannot take aw ay fam ily heirloom s, clothes, food or furniture. D ebtors are allow ed to keep tw o firearm s, tw o horses, 12 cattle, 60 o th e r types of livestock and 120 fowl. Farm ers can keep their tractors aw'ay from banks. P ro ­ fessional fisherm en can keep their boats aw ay from creditors. T ruck driv ers can keep their trucks. As long as the m otor or w ater vehicle is u sed for a trade, and is p ark ed on the h o m e­ stead, it's safe. The proscription on hom e equity borrow ing balances o ut the concept of the ho m estead exem ption. The proh ib itio n enables sm all b u si­ nessm en, farm ers and o thers to borrow m oney w ith o u t risking the A m erican dream , their ow n hom e. P roponents claim it w ill give Texans m ore freedom . But the am endm ent, if passed, will actually have the reverse effect. W ithout the p ro h ib itio n on equity borrow ing, banks have to n s of leverage. U nder cu rren t law, w hen a sm all businessm an goes into a b ank to borrow to ex pand his business, he only has to p u t up his Mark M cKenzie TEXAN C O LU M N IST business and other investm ent interests as collat­ eral. The banks cannot force him to p u t up his house in o rder to get the loan. If Proposition 8 passes, it will be just as h a rd for sm all b u sin e ss-' es to get loans and th ey 'll receive the sam e size loan as before b u t now they w ill have to risk their house! The loan officer w ill say, "W e'll loan you the m oney, just p u t u p your house as well." Proponents of the am endm ent also believe Texans w ill pay low er interest rates by being able to transfer their high-interest credit-card debt to a low er-interest hom e equity debt. And, they add, this provides Texans With m ore con­ sum er credit. Of course, banks w ould love for you to trans­ fer debt to your house so you can buy m ore on your credit card. Then they can sock it to you twice. Even worse, old people w ill be talked into reverse m ortgages by u n sc ru p u lo u s bankers w anting to take their hom es. The real clout b ehind this m easure com es from n o rth e rn b a n k in g interests, foam ing at the m outh to take advantage of the m om -and-pop store. All the ads run by proponents are backed by banks p retending to be interested in Texans welfare. The m ajor editorial w ritten in the Dallas Morning News last w eek su p p orting the m easure was authored by R obert H arris, the President of the Texas Bankers Association. N o banks of any significance in Texas are Texas ow ned and oper­ ated. Even Texas Com m erce is ow ned by an out- of-state bank. These are Yankee eastern con­ glom erates w aiting to destroy sm all businesses, seize the equity and loan the m oney o ut to Wal- M art. Proposition 8, w hich w ill probably be passed, will have serious repercussions for the ranchers and sm all businessm en of this state. U nfortu­ nately, the rabble out there only see credk-card dollar signs and are being d u p e d into voting for this nonsense. Say goodbye to the hom estead exem ption. McKenzie is a third-year law student. Nuclear industry’s enviro-safe self-image sparks ire of critics T he Daily T exan Monday, November 3,1997 Page 5 taking up crack." On the other side are those who point out that nuclear plants, which generate about one-fifth of America s electricity, do not pollute the air the way coal- and oil-burning plants do. Those fossil fuels produce tíre carbon dioxide that many scientists believe could raise Earth's temperature to ! unacceptable levels, the so-called "greenhouse effect. Paul Portney of Resources for the Future, an environmental think tank, said while he is not necessarily pro- nuclear, the energy source cannot be dismissed in dealing with air pollu­ tion or the potential warming of the planet. "T o have a vigorou s national debate about these two issues without at the same time debating the role that nuclear power should play is disingenuous," Portney said. The nuclear industry, which has not placed an order for a new reactor in 24 years, is spinning its environ­ mental story at top speed. "The United States can't meet Pres­ ident Clinton's goals on global warm­ ing without expansion of nuclear," Joe Colvin, president of the Nuclear Energy Institute, told a Senate hearing last week. Industry officials say America's 100 nuclear reactors prevented last year the burning of 268 million tons of coal, 62 million barrels of oil and 983 million cubic feet of natural gas. That kept 147 million tons of carbon diox­ ide from getting into the atmosphere. Critics note that at the same time the reactors produced about 2,000 tons of atomic waste. Some other countries, such as Japan and France, are finding it easier to accept m andatory caps on green­ house gas emissions because of their heavy reliance on nuclear power. The industry's recent successful campaign to sell U.S. reactors to China gained support in Congress in part because of the environmental arguments. "Many people inside and outside the environm ental com m unity believe nuclear pow er deserves another look," says Harvard profes­ sor John Holdren, a member of Presi­ dent Clinton's council of science and technology advisers. Holdren says for nuclear power to make a comeback on environmental grounds, the industry must resolve public fears about its safety and the disposal of radioactive wastes. Both in the long run can be solved, he argues. Even so, there is no evidence new reactors will be built in this country over the next decade. "Nuclear power already plays an important role, but it's dead in the w ater," Jim MacKenzie, an energy analyst for the World Resources Insti­ tute, said. Even worldwide, nuclear power will play a declining role, he said, citing Energy Department fore­ casts that by 2015 it will account for 11 percent of electricity generated, compared to 17 percent todav. The licenses of about one-third of the reactors now in use will expire by 2015. Analysts believe that extension of many of these licenses will be largely because of environm ental pressures. WASHINGTON — The nation's struggling nuclear power industry is marketing itself as part of a solution to global wanning and air pollution, but environmentalists are skeptical. On one side of the argument are those w ho say radioactive w aste, which remains dangerous for thou­ sands of years, is at least as much of a problem as rising temperatures or choking city air. “All this means is you're replacing one serious environmental problem with another," scoffed Daniel Becker of the Sierra Club. He compared the tradeoff to "giving up smoking while Storm victim families call spirits, souls Associated Press A C A P U L C O , M exico — Flicker­ in g a m o n g r e e k i n g m o u n d s o f mud, trash a n d b ro k e n conc rete, more than 1,000 candles lighted a path to heaven for A cap ulco's vic­ tims o f H urricane Pauline.

Brad Staats, co-chairm an of the Texas Revue Com m ittee, said the com m ittee requested money from the reserve fund because he does not want the show sponsored com­ mercially and the com mittee does not want to charge an admission fee. " W e 'r e v ery d e te rm in e d to uphold the tradition of free atten­ dance," Staats said. "That's an easy so u rce of in co m e, b u t we d o n 't want to turn students away."

M inorities urged by deans to apply to law schools Eight Texas law school deans joined last week to urge minori­ ties to apply to law school. The deans, including Michael Sharlot, dean of the UT School of Law, bought advertising space in several Texas college newspapers to publish a letter telling students that Texas law schools welcome minority applications. The adver- • tisement was published in The Daily Texan on Friday. The letter states that despite the H opw ood d ecisio n , th at prohibits the use of race or eth­ nicity for admissions purposes, m inorities are still needed in Texas law schools. "Some people were confused as to the meaning of Hopwood and w hether the law schools w el­ comed minority students," Sharlot said. "But minorities are much welcomed." A leg al o p in io n by T e x a s Attorney General Dan Morales • states that the Hopwood deci­ sio n also p ro h ib its a ctiv e recruitment of minorities.

M iM • Texas jails hold large mentally ill population DALLAS — Nearly 700,000 people w ith diagnosed m ental illnesses are taken to jail each year, more than nine tim e s the n u m b er fo u n d in p u b lic mental hospitals at any one time, The Dallas Morning News reported in Sun­ day's edition. “W e are the biggest mental hospi­ tal around," Dr. Ken Arfa, the psychi­ atrist at the Dallas County jail, whose s ta ff m o n ito rs a b o u t 750 in m a te s known to b e mentally ill. Incarceration of the mentally ill has becom e esp ecially visible in Texas, w hich has im prisoned a larger per­ centage o f its total population than an y other state. B etw een 1988 and 1994, the last year for w hich Justice D e p a rtm e n t fig u re s are a v a ila b le, Dallas C ounty's jail population rose faster than any other county's in the United States. And a 1995 study, from a coalition led by the Mental Health Association of Greater Dallas, found that about 15 percent o f local inm ates are know n clien ts o f the sta te 's p u b lic m en tal health services. In c a r c e r a tio n d ra in s n o t o n ly patient health but the criminal justice till as well. Dallas County budget offi­ cials said feeding and housing a pris­ oner costs $33 per day. And, health e x p e rts said , m e n ta lly ill in m a te s rem ain in jail longer than other sus­ pects because they are less likely to qualify for bail. For m ore th an 20 years, patients have been eased out of state hospitals, encouraged to seek help in their ow n neighborhoods. The flaw in that plan, health experts said, was that society was not financially or psychologically prepared to embrace the mentally ill. T exas, fo r in stan ce, co n siste n tly ranks in the bottom 10 of the 50 states for sp end ing on m ental h ea lth ser­ vices. As a result, multitudes of patients descend into homelessness and hope­ lessness — and, routinely, in to the hand s of po lice officers, ja ilers and judges. But some counties do seem to have found a partial solution. Galveston County has a long-estab­ lished mental health unit in w hich a u n iq u e te a m of s h e r iff's d e p u tie s answ ers ca lls thou ght to in v o lv e a person w ith mental illness, w hether it's a drifter approaching passing cars or a person barricaded in nis house. The program was form ed in 1975 out of concern over a high num ber of jail suicides. In the last 10 years, only one person has killed him self in the jail, records show.

Esa found the game on a Web site and is playing while he is on line. Esa sometimes spends up to five hours a dav on line between con­ structing his Web page, playing games and browsing the Internet for new links. "It's very addicting," he said. "Addicting" seems like a strong word for Esa to be using in the con­ text of a computer, but according to Kathy Scherer a psychologist at the UT Counseling and Mental Health Center, the term is appropriate. Internet addiction, or Internet dependency, has become an issue for many students at the University. Scherer and her husband first came up with the idea of Internet dependency a couple of years ago when they noticed some of their friends had started spending a con­ siderable amount of time on line. "Between my clinical observa­ tions and observations of people we know who are on computers a lot, we thought that there is definitely an issue for people who spend a lot of time on the Internet," she said. Seventy-three percent of students interviewed in a study said they access the Internet at least once a week, and among these weekly users 13 percent felt that "their use was excessive and significantly interfered with personal function­ ing." ' The study, titled "College life online: Healthy and unhealthy Internet use," was con­ ducted by Sherer and Jane Morgan Bost, also a psychologist at the Counseling and Mental Health Center, to deter­ mine the seriousness of Internet dependency on campus. Scherer said the study consist­ ed of a questionnaire that tried to "determine how students use the Internet, how many experience symptoms of Internet dependen­ cy, and what forms of treatment might be useful." In response to these findings, the clinical staff at the Counseling and Mental Health Center created a workshop titled "It's 4 a.m. and I Can't - Uh, Won't - Log Off." The workshop was created to help stu­ dents who think they are Internet depen­ dent. Seventy-three precent of stu­ dents inter­ viewed said they access the Internet at least once a week, and 13 percent of tnose users fe t that "their use was excessive and significantly interfered with personal functioning." Scherer said the workshop has pro­ duced a fairly low turnout, but many stu­ dents have come to seek help on an indi­ vidual basis. These students often come in to deal with another problem, which is then attributed to Internet dependency. "They don't come in with that being their initial reason," Scherer said. "They come in because of depression, academic problems or social problems, and then that will come out later." Scherer said the basis for treatment is time management. Students were con­ sidered Internet depen­ dent if they reported three or more symp­ toms of dependency, which are similar to the symptoms of drug, sex, and gam­ bling addictions. The tolerance symptoms were similar to that of substance toler­ ance. The students exhibited "increased Internet use over time to get the same desired or positive feeling or a decrease in desired feel­ ing over time with the same level of Internet use." In other words, they had to "use" more Internet to get the same "high." .................. She said students should learn to man­ age their on-line time just as they would any other extracurricular activity. In addition to the services offered by the Counseling and Mental Health Center, there are also on-line help services. Is this similar to hav­ ing an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at a bar? Scherer said this type of treat­ ment is slightly different from sub­ stance abuse treatment because using the Internet is not a bad thing. In fact, students at the University are almost required to use the Inter­ net throughout the course of their college careers. Scherer safid she was happy to learn that the stereotypical comput­ er geek does not represent the majority of Internet dependent stu­ dents. According to the study, about the same number of dependent and non-dependent students considered themselves to be outgoing and "sociable." "I was actually pretty pleased that we dispelled some of the myths, particularly on campus," Scherer said. "We found that they w eren't all one major. They weren't just computer science majors." How much is too much? Students will have to determine this for . themselves, Scherer said. Cathi, a 26-year-old student at the Art Institute in Dallas, stays logged on "about five hours every n ig h t... a couple during the day." Aaron, a 20-year-old student in the United Kingdom who logs on as BOBAFETT, logs onto a chatline between classes and will stay logged on until he receives a response. He said he sometimes waits up to five hours. Ironically, Cathi and Aaron were interviewed on a chatline. It is doubtful that Internet depen­ dency is going to produce a subcul­ ture of cyber junkies that end up in the street with nothing to their name, jonesing for their next inter­ face. But according to Scherer, Inter­ net dependency is a real issue with real treatment options. Students can reach the UT Coun­ seling and Mental Health Center at 475-6990.

The two-time All-Am erican also competed on the three- meter springboard, but came up short, scoring 760.47 points behind Erica Sorgi (779.13) and Michelle Davidson (770.40). "I wasn't on in the [three-meter springboard] finals," Wilkinson said. "The 10-meter platform competition was the next day, so I had to blow [the three-meter springboard] off. "I didn't do great and it was a little disap­ pointing. I could of done better." With her first place finish in the 10-meter platform, Wilkin­ son was named to the U.S. World Championship Team, and she will compete in Perth, Aus­ tralia on Jan. 7-18,1998. "I still can't believe it," Wilkin­ son said. "[Being on the World Championship Team] is still try­ ing to sink in."

NCAA investigation of Tech to be released I LUBBOCK — Results of a 20- month-old NCAA investigation into Texas Tech should include many allegations of rules viola­ tions that have appeared in newspaper reports for more than two years, athletic director Ger­ ald Myers said Sunday night. "You can pretty well assume all the things that have been in die media over the last several months are probably going to be in there/ Myers said of an NCAA official tet­ ter of inquiry the school planned to release Monday evening. Myers said he expected to see the tetter Monday morning. The A ssociated Press was unable Sunday night to reach the NCAA, which has declined to comment since its investigation began in February 1996. Tech officials will have an oppor­ tunity to respond to the letter before any penalties are imposed. Howev­ er Chancellor John T. Montford has said the school could impose sanc­ tions an itself M yers declined to speculate c h i when such a decision could be made. "We will be glad to get the official inquiry and to respond to it," Myers said. — Comptiod from staff »nd Asso- ciatod Pross roports Many of Texas’ problems lurk in QB decisions Brian Davis Daily Texan Staff WACO — At any given point during the past three years, it would have been sacrilegious to even think about questioning the decision making or the athletic prowess of Texas quarterback James Brown. But the cold, harsh reality is that for the third straight week, a poor performance by the senior — and primarily back-to-back intercep­ tions that resulted in seven back­ breaking Baylor points — cost the Longhorns a victory. three games just remaining in what has turned into ffie 1997 John Mackovic Farewell Tour, it begs the question: How many more interceptions and bad decisions before backup Richard Walton begins preparing for next year? And with "The defense gave us a different look every time we stepped on the field," said Texas receiver Kwame Cavil, who led the team with a grand total of three receptions for 35 yards. "You can t fault the man, because he was just trying to make a play. Sometimes those plays just don’t come out the way you want them to. That's how life is." RMke Finger Daily Texan Staff WACO — With 1:28 remaining and Baylor leading 23-21 on Saturday at Floyd Casey Stadium, Texas kicker Phil Dawson took the field and prepared to attempt a 54-yard field goal. At that moment, it was clear that the kick would determine whether or not an entire team would suf­ fer the humiliation of losing to one of the most inept squads in college football. But Dawson's kick sailed just outside of the right upright, and Baylor wasn't embarrassed by the lowly Longhorns after all. Texas' disappointing season reached new depths with the loss to the previously 1-6 Bears, as the Homs fell into a tie for last place in the conference that they won only eleven months ago. The defeat all but elim inates em battled coach John M ackovic's squad from bow l consideration, and Texas will have to win its final three games just to avoid the school's first losing season in six years. "We've farted on ourselves all season long," Daw­ son said. "A lot of things have gone wrong, but we still have three games left to play." For now, though, the Homs (3-5, 1-4 Big 12) will have to deal with the fact that they lost to a team whose own coach, Dave Roberts, labeled it "the worst team in America." The Bears entered the contest with one of the lowest-rated offenses in the country, but they still managed to rack up over 400 yards on the day with astonishing ease. And while the Baylor defense was unable to corral Ricky Williams, who rushed for over 200 yards for the fourth consecutive game, the Bears (2-6, 1-4 Big 12) were able to come up with a pair of huge inter­ ceptions and a key fourth-down stand, which proved to be enough to serve the Homs with their third- straight defeat. "Everyone's unhappy and very disappointed/' Mackovic said. "We felt comfortable that we had a good chance to win this game." And after Williams erupted for an 87-yard touch­ down dash midway through the fourth quarter to cut the Bears' lead to two points, it appeared as though the Homs would indeed be able to escape Longhorns can’t seem to find magic of the past Jeff McDonald Daily Texan Staff WACO — Somewhere, at some previous time and place, James Brown and his Longhorn team­ mates had definitely been here before. As the UT quarterback prepared to take the snap on fourth-down- and-one Saturday at Baylor, the scenario recalled last December's game against Nebraska for all the Big 12 marbles when Brown stared down a similiar situation in St. Louis, then rolled left and over the mighty Comhuskers. But after a 1997 season filled with disappointment and disgust, that Nebraska contest might as well have occurred in some alternate universe far; far away. This time, the ball went to all­ w orld tailback Ricky Williams, who was promptly submerged in the backfield beneath a sea of Bay­ lor green and gold, taking all remaining hope of a successful Longhorn campaign down with him. The lowly Bears, now 2-6, would go on to win 23-21, making it another catastrophic Saturday in a year full of them for the Homs.

"It feels pretty weird putting on my Big 12 championship T-shirt now," UT kicker Phil Dawson said. "It seems so long ago. We always said that that was last year and would have no bearing on this year. I guess we proved that." The failed fourth down attempt Saturday was a fitting symbol of Texas' troubles in '97. The Homs, who rose to national prominence over the past two years by doing practically everything nght, have deteriorated this year because of a seeming ability to do almost everything wrong.

And after sweeping the Tigers up a 1-0 lead on Iowa State after hanging a 15-5 Game 1 win on the Cyclones, Ifexas looked to be cruising to « o th e r sweep. But after posting a dismal -0.074 TEXAS VOLLEYBALL hitting percentage in the second game, the Longhorns found them­ selves on the short end of 15-8 score in a conference match for only the second time this season, snapping a 25-gam e conference winning streak. "We didn’t show up, it's mat sim­ ple," head coach Jim Moore said. "But I actually think that is good for us. We needed to be reminded that it won't always be easy to win match­ es, and I truly thfcik that will help us in the long run." As it turned out, the second-game lo6s was meaningless for the Homs, as the team proceeded to dominate the Cyclones in the following two games, rounding off its 13th consecutive victo­ ry with a 15-5,8-15,15-4,15-3 win.

The Dallas Cow­ boys were left to confront their image as a weakened, crumbling team. Relying on a series of defensive stands, capped by Tim McDonald's interception of Troy Aikman m the final moments, the 49ers beat the Cowboys 17-10 Sunday. No championship trip or playoff seeding was on the line this time between tire two teams, who have met six times in the NFC champi­ onship game and have 10 Super Bowl titles between them. San Francisco (8-1), tied with Den- Plssss sss CsuYboys, »•§• 11 Bears Continued from page 9 with a victory. Baylor quarterback Jeff Watson drove the Bears 56 yards to the Texas 24-yard line on the next possession, but was sacked on a critical third down at the 30. Since BU had a stiff 25-mile per hour wind in its face, Roberts elect­ ed to punt, and Texas took control of the ball with 6:02 to pi ay. "I thought we were right back in the game if die defense could hold diem, and they did," said Williams, whose 18th and 19th touchdowns of 1997 tied Earl Campbell's UT single­ season record. "I thought then we could march right down the field and take up all the time and kick a field goal or score a touchdown at the end." For a while, at least, that “theory held true. Williams, who finished with 226 yards rushing on the day, carried the ball six times as the Horns drove, but the drive stalled at the Baylor 43 after two incompletions James Brown. by quarterback Williams got the ball again on third- and-10, bruising forward for six yards to set up Dawson's field goal attempt. Dawson, who holds nearly every Texas kicking record in the books, missed the kick by a narrow m ar­ gin, but said afterwards that it was­ n't a matter of mishitting the ball. Rather, he explained that he mis­ judged the direction of the wind, which blew the ball to the right at the last moment. "The tough thing about it is I hit it exactly where I was aiming," Daw ­ son said. "I couldn't hit a ball better than I hit that one." But if it had not been for events that transpired earlier in the after­ noon, D aw son's long attem pt wouldn't have been necessary. The Horns held an early lead as a result of both a scoring run and throw by Williams, with the latter coming on a 27-yard halfback pass to Jamel Thompson. But the Texas defense was picked 44 Everyone’s unhappy and very disappointed. We felt comfortable that we had a good chance to win this gam e.” apart in the moments preceding halftime, allowing Baylor to drive 92 yards in just over one minute for a field goal that cut the Horns' advantage to 14-13. "We had them pinned at their own five, and then they ended up getting a field goal," said Texas safe­ ty Donald McCowen. "That turned out to be crucial." Then, Brown was intercepted on Texas' first two possessions of the second half. The first pick, by defensive end Glenn Coy, resulted in a two-yard Baylor touchdown pass from Wat­ son to Bradley Domel; the second, by defensive back Matt Anderson, stopped a possible UT scoring drive. Yet the Horns were able to hold Baylor on the next possession, and took over at their own 20 late in the third quarter. Three plays later, Texas was pre­ sented with a fourth-and-inches op the 29, and Mackovic decided to give the ball to Williams on a deep handoff. Williams was stuffed, and anoth* er opportunity was lost. "It was a cutback play," Williams said. "If I would have seen a crease, I would have hit it, but I didn't see anything." And so it was. Williams didn't see a crease, Dawson didn't see the wind, and Texas won't be seeing the postseason. Troubles Continued from page 9 200-yard day, but was wasted in another defeat. The junior also fum­ bled midway through the second quarter with the Longhorns up by four and driving, a miscue that might have changed the entire out­ come of the game. Brown, a shadow of his former swashbuckling, Husker-killing self, threw two costly interceptions — his eighth and ninth of the year — that resulted in s l x BU points. And even when the Texas defense, ranked 96th in the nation coming into the contest, did come up big Saturday, it was in vain. The Horns indeed pulled off some magic when thev stalled out a Baylor drive near midfield with less than nine minutes to play, but an unidentified Texas coach approached an official on the plaving field after third down. The action drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and allowed BU to keep its march alive for three more minutes. "We've just had bad breaks," Texas linebacker Dusty Renfro said. "That s it, bad breaks all season long." The bad break epidemic seems to have spread to Dawson, widely regard­ ed as me best placekicker in America. With less than two minutes to play Saturday, Dawson lined up 54-yards away from die uprights with the wind at his back, eyeing a chance to boot another g a m e -winner. The kick had plenty of distance, but sliced wide right literally by one foot. Two years ago, squaring up in the face of a 20 mde-per-hour headwind, Dawson nailed a 50-yarder to give Texas an improbable upset win over Virginia, a victory that seemed to cata­ pult UT bade into national notoriety. That kick saved a floundering 1995 season for the Horns, and helped pro­ pel them to back-to-back conference tides in '95 and '96. Dawson s ill-fated miss in Waco had the opposite effect. "I'm the guy who usually makes those kicks — die guys on the team call me the 'Money Man',” said Dawson, who has made 10 kicks from 50-plus yards for Texas. "I couldn't hit a ball any better than I hit that one," he added. "If s just one of those things." The loss to Baylor means die Long horns will again have to reasses theif goals, which had already been reduced from a national championship to a Big 12 tide to a South division crown in a matter of weeks. The prospects of making a bowf appearance also seems overly opti­ mistic. UT would need to run the table over die rest of the year to attain th^ minimum six wins neccessary to quali^ fy for a berth. ' Even if that minor miracle were tc$ occur, it is unlikely any bowl committed would invite a team as maligned as ; Texas has been. "We're really not in any type of bowl picture," UT head coach John Mack­ ovic said. "Maybe something will hap-i pen down the road, but we just have to focus on what we can do with these last few games." For Dawson, the trick from here on out is going to be to recapture the positive spark that he and his team* mates felt throughout the preseason; "If you had told me before the season that we'd be 3-5, I would'v# bet my house against you," Dawsoh said. "N ow it's just a matter of going out there and trying to have fury * because this is not fun.' And now, with three games leff before this dismal campaign merci­ fully comes to a close, the onceí proud Longhorns are fighting only; to get some of that pride back — and little else. "We wanted another Big 12 cham-I pionship, but that's out the w in* dow," Renfro said. "B u t there'» always something to play for, ancj now it's just for dignity and pride."* Page 10 Monday, November 3 ,1 9 9 7 T h e Da ily T exan Running buck Ricky W illiam s bas been die only high point in the Horns’ voty disappointing season.

The B ears had to only march 41 yards on U T s don't-bend-just-break defense to take a commanding 23-14 lead.

Baylor was forced to punt, but the L o n g h orn s stalled again, and the sec­ ond plav of the fourth quarter may have been the clincher for the Bears. Facing tourth-and-1 Mackovic called for a draw to Williams despite need­ ing an inch that could have been easi­ ly picked up bv a quarterback sneak The B e a r s , who were playing with eight men on the line of scrimmage the and were keying solely on nation s leading Williams and the Longhorns. rusher, stuffed "We only had to make an inch," Mackovic said.

The play that virtu­ ally every team in America has some­ where in their playbooks was taken out of U T s two years ago when Brown was almost injured when run­ ning it in one game, Williams said. We hadn't ever run the quarter­ back sneak, so I didn't think we would do it there, Williams said. BL coach Dave Roberts' self-pro- claimed "w orst team in America" nearly converted the momentum into more points before a sack of quarterback Jeff Watson pushed the Bears out of field goal range. "It's not my )ob to call plays " Brown said, knowing that Mackovic proclaimed that you don t question the play caller. "We ran the plav that had been working for us ' Texas still had a chance as the fourth quarter wore on, but again Mackovic took the ball out of Williams hands and put it in Brown s.

"Defense and blocking has become difficult with each new team because they all hit differently. We have to figure out how to play each team differently." One reason that the Longhorns had trouble in Game 2 was me fact that Moore went deep into his bench. But Moore said he feels that this didn't have a large effect on the game, as he attributed the perfor­ mance to overall poor play. Ami despite the te d start in that game, which saw Texas fall down 7-2 early, Moore said there was no way that he was going to pull his players. "Not a chance," Moore said. "1 don't care about the results. You can't yank someone out just because you start los­ ing. That is a good way to destroy someone's confidence." The Iowa State win marked the Longhorn's 12th straight conference Victory, a Big 12 record. Senior Jane Winkel and junior Lak- isha Bledsoe combined for 10 blocks in a strong Texas blocking effort, the 13th time die two have accomplished that feat this season. The Horns are 12-1 in such outings. Junior Demetria Sanee and fresh­ man Meggan Kohnen led the offensive attack, racking up 13 and 10 kills respectively. * "The diversity of our attack is some­ thing that makes us a good team," Winkel said.

"We have talked about improving our hitting percentage in transition," Winkel said. "That was definitely one of our focuses coming out here tonight" Texas continues its four-match home- stand next weekend when it hosts Texas Tech and Baylor a pair of teams the Horns defeated earlier this season "We need to keep winning but that is obvious," Moore said.

The Volunteers of Tennessee handed the Longhorns a 2-0 defeat Friday. The squad salvaged some dignity Sunday, however, just missing an upset of No. 24 Vanderbilt in a 1-0 overtime loss. "We came out flat and unorga­ nized and never really got going" Texas head coach Dang Pibulvech said. "We have not played well qn WOMEN S SOCCER die road." Texas was unable to create any offense against Tennessee Friday. Although both teams had 12 shots on goal, and Texas goalkeeper sophomore Cami Vamadore had six saves to Tennessee's five — the Horns were unable to capitalize on the few scoring chances it had. Tennessee midfielder Kendayl Michner played havoc on the Horns, netting both goals for the Vols in the first half of play. Michner put away a loose ball in front of the Texas goal and headed in a pass to put a win in Tennessee's pocket. The team regrouped, however, in its match against Vanderbilt Sunday, but could not hang on in overtime. Vanderbilt scored just 1:43 into the first overtime period. Vanderbilt outshot the Horns 16-6 in the match. Texas was unable to penetrate the Commodore defense. Vamadore managed seven saves for the Longhorns to Vanderbilt's three. The one shot that soared over Var- nadore's head in overtime, however, was all it took for Vanderbilt to walk away victorious. "It was unfortunate to lose the way we did," Pibulvech said. "We just have to focus on the Big 12 Tour­ nament now." The Horns head to the Blossom Soccer Complex in San Antonio Thursday as the No. 4 seed in the Big 12 dance. The No. 5 Buffaloes of Colorado are the Horns' first obstacle. The game will be a rematch of the Horns' recent 3-2 defeat of the Buf­ faloes during Texas' parents' week­ end. The winner of Thursday's match will advance to the semifinal round Friday to face the No. 1-seeded Aggies. An upset of Texas A&M would give the Horns their first ever victo­ ry over the Aggies.

Dana Stubblefield's second sack of Aikman backed the Cowboys inside their own 5 and punter Toby Go win, standing in his own end zone, shanked the kick off the side of his foot. A flag that wasn't waved off also hurt the Cowboys, who face a struggle in their last seven games just to qualify for the postseason. "It's a different kind of feeling, a feel­ ing you really can't describe," said Dal­ las' Emmitt Smith knocked out in the second quarter by a groin strain. "I think our team is still confident. I just don't know if we're performing to our ability." San Francisco, whose record was viewed skeptically because it was built against losing teams within its own division, said the victory over Dallas showed the 49ers were for real. "Everybody said we hadn't played anybody, so we looked forward to McDonald, epitomizing a defensive effort that frustrated every effort by the Cowboys to get back in the game, intercepted Aikman's pass to end Dal­ las' last-ditch drive. The 49ers survived a scare two plays earlier when the officials retracted what looked to be a pass interference call in the end zone on Rod Woodson. He appeared to trip up Michael Irvin before he could make the poten­ tial game-tying catch. Defensive end Shante Carver was called for encroachment late in the third quarter, negating what would have been Deion Sanders' second interception of Steve Young. Garrison Hearst earned the offen­ sive load for the 49ers, running for 104 yards and a touchdown. William Floyd also scored on a 1-yard run. San Francisco's top-ranked defense paved the way for the 49ers go-ahead Even after a holding penalty, San Francisco took over on the Dallas 39. J.J. Stokes, a step behind Kevin Smith, stretched out to make a leaping catch at the 1, and Floyd went in for the score on the next play "The kicking game collapsed in the fourth quarter and created terrible field position. That was a killer," Dallas coach Barry Switzer said. "We have a fine football team and it's a shame we contin­ ue to make critical mistakes. Swimming and diving team falls to Stanford in season Daily Texan Staff The Texas men's swimming and diving team doesn't believe its performance Friday is any indi­ cation of what to expect at the NCAA Champi­ onship meet in March. At least it hopes not. The Longhorns (1-1) fell in its dual-meet season opener against Stanford Friday 156-85. MEN'S SWIMMING Stanford (2-0), one of the favorites to win the 1998 NCAA National Championships, won rune of 13 events, including first second and third place finishes in the 200-yard breaststroke, 500- yard freestyle and 200-yard individual medley. "Basically it was disappointing while it was happening, but the goal for our season comes in March," freshman Matt Ulrickson said. "So our focus is beating them in March, not November, and we do still have confidence we can beat them at the end of the year " Senior Neil Walker, a 17-time All-Ameri­ can, won both of his events, the 50-yard freestyle (20.46) and the 200-yard backstroke (1:45.90), posting an NCAA consideration time in the 200-yard backstroke. "We all swam really well" said Walker, "but it was just real tough deal with a kiss by such an arthnval as Stanford. But I think we'll keep that m mind in workouts and meets to come and keep that aggressiveness fueled by the loss to Stanford. Sophomore three-time All-Amencan Bryan Jones met the NCAA consideration standard with his third-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle (139.18) as did freshman Nate Dusing in the 200-vard butterfly (1:47.70) Dusing was also on two relays that claimed third place, the 400-vard medley relay and the 400-yaid freestyle relay "Our best relay got third — two [Stanford relays] beat us — they were just swimming so fast" Dusing said. "That was the theme the whole two and a half hours we were there — we were swimming fast but they were swimming unseasonably fast It just kind of shows how we're looking ahead more to hew we'll be doing m March than to hew we're doing in November." Kris Kubik assistant coach for the men s swim­ ming team said "We had performances that indi­ cated we are right where we'd like to be at this time of the season for us, but they really jumped all over us. Our divers were foe bright spot of foe meet ” The divers pulled off a sweep in both the one- meter and three-meter diving events. Freshman Grant Gntzmacher won bofo events, while funior Ryan Harmon a transfer from LSU, claimed sec­ ond in the three-meter and third in the one-meter. Sophomore John Eisler finished second in the one-meter and third in the three-meter. Satuidav Texas swam against the University of California at Berkeley and welcomed the chance to bounce back "It was definitely nice to have the second meet partially' because coming off the disappointing per­ formance of Stanford, it was nice to see the times we were doing at both Stanford and California were still fast for where we are," Ulnckson said. Led bv the freshmen in defeating California (0- 1) 155-143, Ulnckson won the 100-yard breast- sroke with a time of 50.07. Dusing claimed victorv in the 200-yard butterfly (1:48.11) with an NCAA consideration time, defeat­ ing his nearest competitor, three-time All-Amen­ can senior Paul Latimer by more than two seconds. Dusing also won the 200-vard backstroke (1:48.40) followed by freshman jamie Rauch at 15322 "Overall we beat California pretty easily’ Dus­ ing said. Gntzmacher, Eisler and Harmon again com­ pleted the 1-2-3 sweep in both the one-meter and three-meter diving events, marking the thud time in three meets this season Gntzmacher has swept both ev ents. "I can't say enough «about the diving" said Walker of his teammates. "It wras amazing to see those guys dive so well. I've never seen any div­ ing like that before. It wras incredible.” Walker remained undefeated this season, plac­ ing first in the 200-yard freestyle with an NCAA consideration time (1:38.38) and the aOO-vaid freestvle (431.95). "We just swam reallv well [Saturday] and kept our spints up a lot more than we did against Stan­ ford and it turned out real wrelL' said Walker. "We are going to go into the rest of the season with an aggressive fire within us to swim a lot faster. Kubik is grateful for the leadership from the older team members like Walker. "We rebounded well from the nightmare of the d a y before," Kubik said. "It was gratifying to see our veterans lead the team back after such a dev­ astating loss.

The g ro u p 's one-tim e p e rfo r­ m ance of the C lin to n cam p aig n them e song " D o n 't S to p " at his inauguration in 1993 was the first step in bringing Stevie Nicks, Lind­ sey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John M cV ie «and M ick Fleetwood together. The reunion has led to a new album and a new tour that landed the band in San A n tonio Friday night. For those of you who looked for m ore re aso n ab le en te rta in m e n t than the hoi polloi scene of Sixth Stre et on H a llo w e e n ,'th e F le e t­ wood M ac concert in the Alam od­ ome presented an opportunity for the '70s generation to re liv e the e ffect o f the g ro u p 's R u m o u rs album of 20 years prior. Rumours is the second best selling album of all time. And, their new reunion album The Dance remains on Bill­ board's top 10 in the album charts after d eb uting tw o m onths ago. Buckingham thanked the audience d u rin g the show, saying, "W e 'r e happy with the w ay the whole pro­ ject has unfolded." The crowd cheered when Nicks said, "In my opinion, Texas is the most fun place to be." F le e tw o o d M a c p ut forth a respectable show in front of a fairly packed and at times reserved house of mostly 30- and 40-year-olds. Peo­ ple in front row floor seats were sit­ ting d ow n for various portions of the show. One-third of the dome had been cordoned off to accom­ modate the concert. The group began w ith the song people briefs Hackett leaves intensive care ■ A U R O R A , 111. — Comedian Buddy Hackett was released Sun­ day from a hospital after spend­ ing a night in the intensive care unit. The 73-year-old entertainer was hospitalized after suffering shortness of breath and an irregu­ lar heartbeat while performing at the Hollywood Casino. H ackett had been on stage about five m inutes w hen ne became short of breath, apolo­ gized and said he had to go, police Sgt. Jeff Hutchinson said. It is unclear what caused the problem, said Constance Bell, nursing supervisor at the Mercy Center for Health Care. His other motion picture cred­ its include The Music Man, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and the 1969 Disney comedy "T h e Love Bug." H e most recently lent his voice to the scatterbrained seagull Scut­ tle in The Little Mermaid Kasem lectures Arab students ■ D E A R B O R N , Mich — Radio personality C asey Kasem has been keeping a list of successful Arab-Americans for more than 10 years. O n Friday, the Lebanese- American haU-of-fame broadcast­ er born Kem al Am en Kasem shared some excerpts with the predominantly Arab-American student body at Dearborn's Ford- son High School. Som e of those m entioned include Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie, singer Paula Abdul and consumer advocate Ralph Nader. "L is te n in g to the names of famous people who come from sim ilar backgrounds in some small way will plant a seed and make them feel more confident about themselves, more proud of their heritage," the 65-year-old kasem told the 1,746 students. The most hard-hitting question from the floor: " W h v 'd you change your name if you're so proud of your culture?" kasem replied that when he started as a dise jockey on VVJBk radio in Detroit, he changed his name because some listeners did­ n't understand Kemal. — Com piled from Associated P re ss reports Venerable 70s rockers Fleetw ood M a c played a long se t of c la ssic jam s to a crow d of more than 17,000 at the Alam odom e Friday. ASSOCIATED PRESS "The Chain," which is also the first song on The Dance. At the begin­ ning of the concert, the bass and drums overtook the lead guitar and the singing. But that appeared to be corrected shortly thereafter. Fleetw ood Mac d id not sim plv play pro forma replicas of their pre­ vious hits. It was obvious that their o ld songs a p p e a rin g on "T h e D ance" w ere carefully reworked. The piano in "S a y that yo u love me" was substituted for the banjo. Bassist John M cVie high-fived his ex-wife C h ristin e after th is one. Buckingham changed "B ig L o v e " into a much improved solo perfor­ m ance w h e re he d is p la y e d h is incredibly fast guitar picking. And, Nicks added a one-minute in tro ­ duction to "Rhiannon." The n e w songs like C h ris tin e M cVie's "Tem porary O ne," N ick's "Sweet G irl," and Lindsey Bucking­ ham's "Bleed to love her" received modest applause. The crowd found "M y Little Dem on" and Bucking ­ ham 's un ap pealin g instrum ental guitar piece good points to break for a refreshment. B u t fans w ere there m a in ly to hear the oldies. A n d F leetw o o d M ac seemed to un derstand this. The group played a lot of old songs w h ic h are not even featured on their new album. E veryo n e rose to their feet for w hat were excellent renditions of "O h D ad d y," "G y p s y " and Stevie Nicks' solo song "Stand Back." A fter "L a n d s lid e ," N ick s and Buckingham hugged, which seemed strange considering the band's histo­ ry. They had broken up as lovers 20 years ago after R u m o u rs was released. Then the M c V ie s got d ivo rce d . M ick Fleetw o o d even divorced his wife after an affair with Nicks. But the band stayed together. It w as in 1988 that Bu ck in g h a m walked out on the eve of touring for the album Tango in the Night. The band played three encores Fri­ day, one of them being "Don't Stop."/ T h e y p u t on a w ell-rehearsed and memorable show for fans. Nicks could not hit the high notes in "D re a m s " or any of her other songs. But fans did not seem to mind amid the band's classic sounds. HEAVENSENT By: Half Japanese Label: Emperor Jones/Kitty Kitty R a t i n g : ★ ★ ★ ut Jad Fair, the one constant of H alf Japanese, is a legend in indie-rock, as much for his dogged persistence and large discography as his m u s i ­ cal naivete and inspired lyrical ram­ bles. H e 's c o n sp ire d w ith m any luminaries and even been immortal­ ized in song with "Jad Fair Drives Wom en W ild " by the Spinanes. This release is a d ecid ed ly odd one. It's one 64 m inute song and nine one minute remixes by Fair of segm ents of the song. "H e a v e n Sent" was recorded live to two-track at an Am sterdam radio station in '95 and is a piece of work. A soothing two chord ramble on guitar with bass and drum support, one would think the song would get boring after a w hile, but this just is n 't true. The en jo yab le tune is unobtrusive and Fair's im provisa­ tio n s k ill w ith ly r ic s — alm ost alw ays in rhyming couplets — is a w o n d e r. The song has p le n ty of dynam ics, speeding up and slow ­ ing, g ettin g lo u d er and q u ieter. Your mind w ill definitely drift, but the song accents whatever activity y o u engage in. The rem ixes are snippets of the song with additional sound bites h a lf Japanese noises and keyboards overdubbed. Most are a bit spookier and darker than the original track. W h ile not single's material, "Heaven Sent" is a happv addition to Jad Fair's cracked artistic work. — John St. Denis By: LL Cool J Label: Def Jam Rati ng: ★ ★ ★ (out of five) In his la te st alb u m , L L C o o l J explodes w ith Phenomenon. L L keeps up his tradition of "get your ass out of the seat" hip-hop from the first beat. The first three tracks are by far the strongest of L L 's seventh venture because he shows all facets of what made him big in the industry. "P h e n o m e n o n " has a beat that just makes you wanna bounce as L L rap s in his tra d e m ark , lo w -key, smooth voice. In the style of vintage L L - lik e " I N eed L o v e ," " C a n d y " shows how he got the name Ladies Lo ve Cool James. For "C a n d y," L L recruits the help of Ricky Bell and Ralp h Tresvant of N e w Ed ition to tell the story of one of his first loves. L L holds his own in "Starsky and H u tc h ," featuring Busta Rhym es, proving that he hasn't lost his ability to rap with the best of them. In "Father" L L describes how he witnessed his father shoot his moth- er and grandfather with a shotgun, both lived. L L goes on to say that he forgives him for all of the mental, emotional and physical abuse. P henom enon serves as a so u n d ­ track to L L 's new tell-all autobiogra­ phy I M ake M y O wn Rules. For the album, L L pulls out all the stops in enlisting the assistance of some of the biggest and best names in the business. "N obody Can Freak Y o u " features Keith Sweat, "4,3,2,1" fea­ tures Redman and Method M an and "W ann a Get Paid " features the Lost Boyz. In addition to these performers, L L co-produces Phenomenon with the likes of Sean "P u ffy " Combs and "B a b y " Chris Lighty. During the more than 12 years of L L 's prolific career, he has turned out som e of the best hip-hop around. Phenomenon definitely lives up to the standards that w e have come to expect from an L L C ool J album. Phenomenon is a "must buy" full of phenomenal dancing music and is a great com plim ent to L L 's book I Make M y Own Rules. -J e ffC la rk ' We Buy Used CDs Every Hour, Minute & Second We Are Open!

In nany state capitals, as in Washing- on, officials say the m oney is just not available to fix them. In Vermont, a trade group w or­ ries about the safety of a bridge fre­ quently used by state lawm akers to feach Montpelier. "If they could see 1 lat bridge from underneath, they'd I ake another route to the cap ital," «aid Thom Serrani, executive direc- l or of the A ssociated General Con- 1 ractors of Vermont. In Jacksonville, Fla., heavy trucks iind b u se s are b e in g d e to u re d iround the Fuller Warren Bridge on nterstate 95, the East C oast's major iorth-south artery. State engineers aid the larger vehicles were literal- y shaking the bn dge to pieces. T And in the nation's capital, where w m ak e rs are d e b a tin g how to nd federal gasoline tax revenues ir the next six years, the Potomac iver's busiest span is a sym bol of ridge decay. Construction crews can frequently ie seen replacing asphalt along the o o d ro w W ilson d ra w b rid g e , 1 vhich carries traffic of 1-95 and 1-495 - the fam ed C a p ito l B eltw ay — round Washington. Engineers warn he structure has only seven years •efore heavy trucks must be banned. „ocal leaders are trying to persuade < congress to pick up most of the $1.6 jillion price tag to replace it. \ An A sso c ia te d P ress co m p u ter In a ly sis of F e d e ra l H ig h w ay administration data found 182,730 f the nation's 581,942 b rid ges — 1.4 percent — were rated deficient s of June 30, 1996. One of every four b r i d g e s on the ilational Highway System, the back- >one of Am erica's road network, is obsolete or has structural problems, cording to the highway administra- lon's 1997 report to Congress. Most deficient bndges are not in dan- ;er of collapse. Some simply are too iarrow to handle current traffic loads lut others need major repairs, scxin. "Traveling through virtually any city, you see the bridges crumbling over your head," said Bill Jackman, a spokesman for the AAA motor club, which has w arned that too little is being spent to maintain bridges. A d e c a d e a fte r 10 p e o p le d ie d when a N ew York State Thruw ay bridge plunged into a rain-swollen creek in one of the nation's w orst bridge disasters, that state has the h ig h e st p e rc e n ta g e o f d e fic ie n t b rid ges: 60.5 percent. H aw aii and M assachusetts reported more than half their bridges deficient. In West Virginia, where 45.4 per­ cent of the bridges are substandard, officials are keeping a wary eye on the cre ak y 6 6 -y e a r-o ld S h a d le Bridge near the Ohio border. Inspectors say it is still safe, bu t. local residents fear a repeat of the n earb y S ilv er B rid g e c o lla p se in 1967 th at c la im e d 46 liv e s, the nation's worst bridge disaster. That accident sp u rred a nation­ w ide review of bridges and led to the federal requirement that bridges be inspected regularly T h ere h av e been m ore recen t wake-up calls as well Two years ago, five people died when an Interstate 5 b rid ge near Coalinga, Calif., gave way to raging waters. For at least five years before that accident, engineers had been developing flood-control plans that might have prevented the collapse.

In New Ham pshire, officials and seen m arked co n tracto rs have improvement since the state highway comm issioner declared in 1994 that motorists should "drive fast and not look back" when crossing bridges The num ber of b rid ges on New Hampshire's "red list" for repairs has shrunk by 140, a fifth of the total, since the commissioner's remark. L a ck in g m on ey to re p a ir all bridges, highway engineers are tak­ ing other precautions. One in five bridges limits the weight of vehicles Thom Serrani, vice president of Associated General Contractos of Vermont stands by allowed to cross. Heavy trucks are banned from the o ld e r o f the tw in C o o p e r R iver B n d g e s ju st north of C h arleston , S.C., on U.S. 17, a main route to the state 's coastal resorts. The bridge was built in 1929. State and local transportation offi­ cials say they are working to reduce the backlog of bridge repairs, but their money is limited in an era of balanced budgets and tax cuts. In Montana, for example, county p ro p erty tax e s h av e been frozen since 1986. Even routine maintenance is suf­ fering," said Gordon Morris, execu­ tive director of the Montana Associa­ tion of Counties. "Counties are really stymied in being able to cope with it." Making matters worse is that most of the bridges built during the 1960s and 1970s were designed to last 30 years and soon will require repairs. a bridge in Montpelier, V i, that has been "They're sort of the baby boomer bridges, all aging at the same time," said Tom Lulay, deputy director of the Oregon Transportation Department. Just m aintaining current bridge co n d itio n s w ill req u ire h igh w ay d ep artm en ts to replace or rep air 200,000 brid ges over the next two decades, the American Association of State H ighw ay and T ransporta­ tion Officials projected. Where the money will come from downgraded to one lane. ASSOCIATED PRESS remains to be seen. The program that allocates federal gasoline tax to the states expired Sept. 30.
