Roy Wayne Criner, convicted of rape in 1990, was released on a recognizance bond in advance of an expected pardon from Gov. George W. Bush after results from DNA testing convinced the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles that C riner w as innocent of the crime. Later that day, Bush granted the pardon to Criner.

This decline m aintains the d o w n w a rd trend, despite a small u p tu rn in 1998, of the past five years. Bernstein said the decrease in anti-Semitic ^incidents noted by the ADL is encouraging.

The conflict in the lucrative lobster industry which pulled in $298 million in 1998 focus­ es on how to restore some of the freedom native groups had to provide for themselves before colonization, while protecting industries built on limited resources and preserving the envi­ ronment. At Burnt Church, one of dozens of native bands in the economically depressed coastal regions of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the government wants to allow the reserve 40 traps for catching food. The natives say they should be allowed thousands of traps to make a living. On Tuesday, native fishing boats from Burnt Church, a Mi'kmaq reserve, went into Miramichi Church a Mi'kmaq reserve, went into k Bay to place new traps after the Sunday night raid by government fisheries officials. Three motorboats full of so-called native fishing rangers from Listiguj, a Mi'kmaq reserve in Quebec near northern New Brunswick, came to support them. The rangers are uniformed native officers appointed by the Quebec reserve to patrol their own waters and other natural resources. Agents on a government fisheries boat looked on from afar, but mere was no sign of any immediate plan to raid five new traps. "It's really tense," fisheries spokesman Andre Marc Lanteigne said of tire standoff. "We hope peo­ ple will keep their cool." Mi'kmaq protesters from Burnt Church also con­ tinued to blockade Highway 11, a major north-south artery in New Brunswick. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police diverted traffic along a 15-minute detour to avoid the bonfires and immobile vehicles in the road outside the Burnt Church reserve. As part of maintaining its image as the nations wayoooi word- candy, Webster's College Dictionary \s including such utter­ ances as “the full montyf “my bad" and “mouse potato” in its newest edition. Edgy Many of the new words in Random House Webster S College Dictionary were first popularized by the current pop cul­ ture before being deemed worthy to sit alongside words with a longer pedigree. Webster’s officials have long prided themselves on captur­ ing new words faster than any other diction­ ary. Webster's introduced “cheeseburger” to dic­ tionary pages in the 1940s and never let up, adding “beatnik," “Junk food," “yuppie" and “cyberpunk” over the past 50 years. Of the more than 300 new words added to Webster’s latest addi­ tion, University of Iowa senior Nicole Halverson said she was most surprised about some of the added cyber-speak and “Valley Girl" phras­ es. “When I think of the dictionary, I don't think ‘eye candyT she said. While Halverson said she isn't sure if the dictionary is the best spot to have slang words, Ul senior Kelli Goers approves of the dictionary’s adding such words such as “gaydar" (ability to rec­ ognize that a person Is gay) and “mouse pota­ to” (person who spends a great deal of leisure time at a com­ puter). Slang is a part of the English language and deserves a place in the dictionary, she said. “I think itls always changing with the times, and slang reflects our current societyf Goers said. Ul junior Phillip Johnson agreed that the additions are appropriate because the English language is growing more rapid­ ly than ever, so it makes sense that Webster’s would expand just as quickly. Z Tax credits center of proposal CONVENTION, from 1 has been removing the fear of col­ lege costs from middle-income stu­ dent, but it hasn't affected low- income students," Barbour said. Another of Gore's proposals, the National Tuition Savings Program, was devised to "tie together state tuition savings programs in more than 30 states so that parents can save for college tax-free and infla­ tion-free," according to Gore's plat­ form. The platform also proposes a tax cut for tuition and fees for higher education and training that allows families to choose either a $10,000- per-year deduction or a $2,800 tax credit. "The way those numbers work out, it helps those paying more for private public schools," Barbour said. schools than students Barbour added that most low- rely on P e llt incom e Grants. Both Gore and Republican presidential candidate Gov. George W. Bush have proposed to add more funding for Pell grants. Donald Phelps, UT professor of education administration, said the most that state and national leaders can offer higher education and col­ lege students is more support. As an example, Phelps said the biggest source of income for the University is student tuition rather than government funding. "Legislators have to realize that what makes this nation greater and greater is the number of individu­ als able to go to college," Phelps said. "W e're in a society where if you don't have some sort of higher education, the chances of economic success are m arginal and the chances of having the life of the upper-class is virtually wiped out." Research institutions, like the University, also need additional government funding, Phelps said. "Large research institutions have to work harder and harder for fed­ eral support for research," he said. The government should spend more on higher education than it is currently spending on the criminal justice system, Phelps said. "The cost for incarcerating one person is substantially greater than the fees for one undergraduate stu­ dent," Phelps said. "We all need to consider what it means if any seg­ ment of our population is unable to get a reasonable cost of education." Phillip Dupre, president of the UT University Democrats and Plan II junior, said higher education needs support most of all from state and national leaders. "O n one level, we need them to provide more financial support for universities but also more financial support or incentives for students and their families sending people to college," Dupre said. But Dana McClanahan, president of College Republicans at Texas, criticized past Democratic support for higher education. "The thing I found ironic was that [President Bill Clinton] never did anything about higher educa­ tion until his daughter went to col­ lege," she said.

The decision filed Monday by U.S. District Judge Allen G. Schwartz was a legal victory for the book's author, J.K. Rowling, the book series' publisher, Scholastic Inc., as well as Time Warner Entertainment Co., which owns film and merchandising rights. Schwartz declined to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Rowling, who lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, and the companies against Nancy Stouffer of Camp Hill, Pa. They sought a court declaration that they have not infringed on any of Stouffer's copyrights. A lawyer for Rowling, Scholastic and Time W arner referred questions in the case to Scholastic, which forwarded a statement issued in late March saying that Stouffer's ownership claims to the word "m uggles" were absurd. "M s. Rowling's creative mind works in a world filled with myths and legends, but let there be no doubt that these books are her unique creations. Unfortunately, nowadays, success seems to breed not only imitation but also litigation," the statement said. The statement said the "m uggles" in a book Stouffer published in the mid-1980s entitled The Legend o f Rah and the Muggles were tiny and hairless creatures who live on the continent of Aura in a post-nuclear holocaust world set hundreds of years in the future. "Anyone even vaguely familiar with the Harry Potter books, and the use of the term "M uggle" to describe any person who does not the have m agical powers, w ill recognize absurdity of Ms. Stouffer's claims," the state­ ment said. Kevin Casey, a lawyer for Stouffer, said ne w as unlikely to appeal Schw artz's ruling because he was eager to prove the similarities between the Harry Potter books and the cre­ ations of Stouffer. "I'm very happy the judge has ruled one way or the other because now we can get on to the substance of this thing," he said. Source: Jessi Todden, The Dally Iowan ple."

T he Daily T exan August 16, 2000 Gore seeks to unify Democrats By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — In this movit- making capital where stars are bom, Al Gore is searching for a scnpt to make him America's leading man. Gore arrives Wednesday for the Democratic National Convention hoping to step out of President Clin ton's shadow, unify his wavering party and rouse a placid electorate to believe there's a lot at stake in November. One of his biggest problems, most analysts believe, is Gore himself. "He's not a very good television per­ former," said Merle Black, professor of politics at Emory University. "He still tends to be robotic." Gore has been unable to persuade voters there's much difference with Republican rival Gov. George W. Bush on big issues such as education, gun control Supreme Court appointments and abortion. The nation is experienc ing its longest economic expansion in history, but Gore doesn't get a lot of credit. He also has to fight Bush's attempts to exploit Americans' weari­ ness with White House scandals, from d in ton's affair with Monica Lewinsky to questionable campaign fund-raising by both foe president and vice presi dent. In order to win in November analysts say that Gore needs to some­ how envelop himself in the prosperity of foe past eight years but distance himself from his boss. Unable to rally his base in his party, Democrats see foe convention as an opportunity to unify the party. Russians continue sub rescue efforts as hope fades By The Associated Press MOSCOW — Russian rescuers lowered an escape capsule early Wednesday to a sunken nuclear submarine lying on foe Barents Sea floor, but there was no immediate word that foe apparatus had actually made contact with foe vessel holding 116 crewmen. The Russian Navy said visibility near foe Kursk submanne was only 6 to 15 feet and there were strong underwater currents, foe ITAR-Tass news agency reported. The rescuers have repeatedly tried to lower foe bell-shaped capsule Tuesday but their attempts were frustrated by storms. There had been no communication with foe Kursk since it went down in foe Barents Sea during foe weekend and rescuers had no idea of conditions inside foe vessel. Navy chief Adm. Vladimir Kuroyedov said foe situation was "extremely grave," with foe crew expected to run out of oxygen on Friday. Navy officials said water appeared to be leaking into foe submarine. Two U.S. government officials said Tuesday in Washington that a Navy submarine in foe area detected foe sound of an explosion and it was foe "working assumption" that foe noise was related to foe sinking of foe submarine Kursk. The officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition they not be named said foe sound was not a missile being fired. Kuroyedov said earlier Tuesday that there appeared to have in tin' in » ' ot the been an explosion in foe torpedo compartment in foe nose of the submarine, sending it crashing to the sea bottom. 1 le said earli­ er that foe Kursk had likely collided with something and it was­ n't clear why he had changed his assessment. Efforts to rescue foe Kursk were hampered most of Tuesday by high winds and strong currents. The rescue operation faced severe difficulties. The bell-shaped capsule must latch on to a cargo hatch on foe submarine, a precision maneuver made even more challenging because the Kursk was reportedly leaning at a sharp angle. Even if the capsule successfully docks with the sub and sailors can enter it, the capsule can hold only 2(1 people at a time and officials say bringing it to the surface could take up to seven hours. The slow rise is necessary to prevent decom­ pression sickness — foe potentially crippling or fatal condition known as "foe bends."

The airline was told that British and French officials looking into last month's Air France Concorde disaster intended to revoke the jet's airworthiness certification. Later, foe French Transport Ministry said foe safety concerns focused on foe plane's tires and that a formal rec- ommendation that all Concorde flights be suspended was ™™na i . The move raised questions about the future of Concorde the stetk luxury jet that safely carried passengers through the sound bamer for a quarter-century before 113 people died in the Jifly 15 crash near Paris. Air France grounded its Concordes immediately after foe crash. Investigators believe foe "initial cause" of foe Air France crash was a metal strip that punctured a tire, sending huge chunks of rubber into foe area of foe fuel tanks. The French Transport Ministry said it would be premature to resume Concorde flights given the number of unan­ swered questions. British Airways' decision to ground its Concordes appart'n y was done with some haste. Tuesday morning's Concoide flight to New York from Heathrow was recalled to the airport gate, rolling back with 37 passengers aboard. The passengers were transferred to other air- . CT "Following a series of discussions in recent days, we have become aware of foe likely interim finding of the joint acadent mvesbgatois that a single tire burst was the cause of the accident, Britain s Civil Aviation Authority said. The agency added: "We now take foe view that foe certificate of air­ worthiness should be suspended to enable further measures to be considered to ensure that a satisfactory level of safety exists with regard to foe risks associated with tire bursts on Concorde. . A statement from the French ministry on foe plane s tires did no elaborate on foe eventual risks. But foe head of foe country s Accident and Inquiry Bureau, Paul-Lcniis-Arslanian, said, "We must guarantee » a satisfactory level of security." "This level of security must be guaranteed, and it is not today, , . Arslanian told France 3 television.

Legislators submitted an extremely urgent motion to the parliament, or Majlis, seeking a debate on whether it was legal to close newspapers under the Security Measures Law, the official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted a lawmak­ er as saying. The reformist-dominated parliament vowed to pursue reforms in a letter Sunday addressed to the nation and signed by 161 mem­ bers. U.N. report: Economic sanctions are ineffective and often illegal GENEVA — Economic sanctions aimed at changing government policy are usually ineffective and often illegal under international law, according * to a U .N .-commissioned report released Tuesday. "The theory behind economic sanctions is that economic pressure on civilians will translate into ' pressure on the government for change. This theo­ ry is bankrupt both legally and practically," said the report by Belgian law professor Marc Bossuyt. Bossuyt said the Security Council's decision to continue sanctions while knowing they caused an untold number of Iraqis to die was "unequivocally " illegal" under international humanitarian law. The 40-year U.S. trade blockade on Cuba, which caused its people to suffer, was also illegal on humanitarian grounds, Bossuyt said, adding that sanctions should carry a time limit to achieve an aim. Emergency guidelines simplified for aiding heart attack victims WASHINGTON — The American Heart Association announced streamlined emergency procedures for aiding heart attack victims on Tuesday, changes it hopes will save lives. The new guidelines drop the requirement that the layperson providing emergency CPR check for a pulse. Instead, people assisting victims are urged to check for other signs of circulation such as breathing, coughing or movement when deciding whether to perform CPR. The new guidelines also drop the dif­ fering ratios of chest compressions to rescue breaths that had been recommended depending on how many people were assisting in giving CPR. Now they simply recommend 15 chest compressions alternating with two breaths until emergency defib­ rillation can be administered. Elderly woman found alive 3 days after car wreck in swamp FORT LAUDERDALE, Ha. — An 83-year-old woman was found alive in her car Tuesday, three days after it crashed off a bridge into a snake-infest­ ed swamp. She told rescuers she w'as able to sur vive by collecting rainwater. Tillie Tooter's car was discovered by a member of a road cleanup crew who noticed mashed-down trees beside the Interstate 595 bridge over the swamp and stopped to check. Justin Vannelli spotted her car 40 feet ‘‘ down. The car wound up suspended by man­ groves and other vegetation about a foot above the shallow water. "This is a swamp filled with snakes, bugs and ' probably an alligator or two," Fire-Rescue Division Chief Stephen Mclnemy said. If the car had not been caught by the trees, She would have drowned, he said. ' Justice Department awards $7 million to clear test backlog WASHINGTON — The Justice Department awarded more than $7 million in grants Tuesday to ~ seven states to begin clearing a large backlog of DNA genetic samples obtained from convicted criminals but never analyzed. The grants from the department's National Institute of Justice will allow these states to analyze 145,783 backlogged samples, out of a tally that a national commission recently estimated at 750,000 unanalyzed samples. The money also will pay for entering the analysis results on the FBI's Combined DNA Index System, a computer network that allows comparisons with samples in other states. The DNA from convicts can be compared with DNA found on evidence at crime scenes and has helped to convict, and in some cases dear, suspects. Like fingerprints, DNA genetic material is specific to each individual. Study shows implants’ benefits to deaf kids outweigh costs CHICAGO — A cost-benefit analysis of cochlear implants in deaf children indicates they are well worth the $40,000 expense. The small, snail-shaped electrical devices are sur- gically implanted in the cochlea, the inner-ear ' organ that contains nerve endings needed for hear­ ing. While the implants do not restore normal hear­ ing, they bypass defective parts of the ear and send auditory signals to the brain. About 14,000 such operations have been per­ formed nationwide since the implants became available a decade ago, nearly half of them in peo­ ple under 21, according to the Deafness Research Foundation, which helped fund foe study. Surgery accompanied by therapy to help patients learn to use the devices in conjunction with lip-reading costs about $40,000, but some insurance companies have been reluctant to pay because of a , - lack of data on foe benefits.______ ____________ * • Compiled from Associated Press reports T he Daily Texan August 16, 2000 The Da m Texan Editor C ecily Sailer Associate Editors Karen G ross M arsh all M ah er M ichael W ilt Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan m those of the editor, the editorial board or writer of the article They are nqt necessarily those of the University administra tion, die Board of Regents or die Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees.

Vote anyway By Garrick Pureley Daily Texan Columnist November's presidential election will be fairly frustrat­ ing for Democrats and Progressives in Texas, for obvious reasons. It would take a miracle for Dubya to lose thw state so dissenting votes seem almost immaterial to the larger picture. What has happened to the voice of the indi­ vidual voter? Those Texans who oppose Bush's bid for the presiden­ cy might be better served by just staying at home in protest of the antiquated and pseudo-representative electoral col­ lege system. Even better, a grassroots movement should mobilize anti-Bush voters to make a statement by writing in Larry Faulkner's name, or some other equally ndicu- lous choice, on their ballots instead of casting a senous vote. Maybe all the Democratic and Progressive advocacy groups in Texas should just dose their doors as a symbol of their dissatisfaction. But wait a minute, before surrendering their position in the Lone Star State, maybe those voters should think about the more extended implications of voting for A1 Gore or Ralph Nader despite the negligible chance of a victory. In a general sense, no individual vote has the potential to change the outcome of an election. In this specific instance in Texas, the votes of an entire section of the state's popu­ lation will be powerless in derailing the Bush train. Why, then, should Dubya opponents still vote? Outside the "dvic duty" arguments, there's the notion of individual advocacy to motivate people to go to the polls and fight the losing battle. Supporters of a woman s right to choose, affirmative action, campaign finance reform, environmental protection or an end to the death penalty can hardly sit quietly while Bush sweeps into the Oval Office. Votes cast for Gore, and espedally those cast for Nader; will resonate on a national level, demanding that these issues receive their due attention. Whether or not the call to action is effective will depend on the winner of the election. , Should Gore win, Bush opponents in Texas would be vindicated. Assume, for a moment drat Bush indeed loses the election. Perhaps the strong showing of Democratic ■ and Progressive support in his home state will have the added effect of forcing Republicans to reevaluate some of their policy positions. Yeah, right. But there is always hope that the intractable can be made to listen to the demands of their constituency. Nowhere does a lack of support sting more than from among the ranks of those one has gov­ erned for years. If Bush wins the presidency, then, a large percentage ot dissent from Texans would still give him pause. Even Dubya, who doesn't seem to care much about what any­ one thinks, except those who head multinational corpora­ tions, is not immune to the effects of public opinion. Bush, like most newly elected presidents, is shooting for two terms, and a slim margin of victory in Texas, with its 32 electoral votes, would certainly give him a reason, if not the backbone, to consider moderating his offensively right-wing platform. ... Whatever the outcome of the election, the attention will be focused, to some extent, on the distribution of votes in Texas. Democratic and Progressive voters can make their voices heard and help draw attention to the resurgence of political liberalism in the state. Importantly, a strong show of opposition to a Bush presidency would demonstrate that Texas is not to be taken for granted. Instead of appear­ ing to be a population of mindless Dubya drones, Texans can and should be represented in their political plurality. If Bush loses Travis county, his leadership could be further called into question. Combine that public opinion cnsis with a possible Democratic majority in Congress, and Bush could really end up with a nosebleed. The presiden­ tial honeymoon would be a rocky and introspective one for the president elect if his core constituency doesn't cohe­ sively support him. Since the direct selection of the president will probably never be in the hands of a popular majority, alone dissent­ ing votes must be made to have value. Even though Texas liberals will lose at the polls, there's every reason for them to show up. Any solid Democrat of Progressive thought who fails to cast their vote should be considered a victim of Dubya's political swindle. He's probably counting on frustration and the appearance of invincibility to keep them away in November anyway.

THE FIRING LINE Andrew Sm ith returns It seems that my open letter has caused some people to think about issues they would not otherwise have done, as several letter writers have stated, much to my delight. 1 applaud those who have written on a non-adversanal and passionate vein. After all, 1 feel deeply about the compen­ sation issue myself; it is the illegal, ill-advised and con­ frontational tactics of the University Staff Association with which I have issue. There is, however one point I feel it necessary to address, and one letter writer last week was kind enough to introduce it into the public forum so that may address it there." It has been said that I have too much tune on my hands. This sentiment has been echoed by some of my co-workers in the business school; co-workers, I might add, who have no direct day-to-day contact with me, and who are obvi­ ously uninformed on the matter. As I stated in my open let­ ter, I complete assignments ahead of time and request more work. That is a long way from saying that I do not have enough work (the letter was written during the lunch hour, , by the way). And being a staff member in the B-school is pretty much like being a staff member anywhere, even Liberal Arts. My degree, in fact, is in Liberal Arts (B.A. 1988). Actually, 1 a m so 'liberal' 1 will probably vote for Ralph Nadec but that really isn't the point is it? , , The point is we need to move away from the confronta­ tional, illegal approach to the compensation issue advocat­ ed by the USA. There is a reason that we are not allowed to collectively bargain and to strike and it is because we pro­ vide a "necessary public service." It might be better to approach the issue from that thetorical angle. If we provide such a necessary public service that we are not allowed to engage in organized work stoppages, then it stands to rea­ son we should be well-compensated for such a necessity job. By protesting the fact that we are not so appreciated by stopping work undermines our position incredibly, and it may have the unintended effects 1 postulated in my letter — an audit of work loads. Do you really want this? Based on the response that I (and my supervisors and my department chair!) have received, this touches a nerve. "Methinks the lady doth protest too much." Andrew Smith UT staff Conservatives and unions Conservatives have a favorite defense when it comes to distracting attention from the cozy relation between Republicans and corporations. It goes something like this "The unions ... they're the special interests corrupting the Democrats. They hijack the paychecks of w° ^ rej ° / I ^ t - ical purposes!" The party line, however; is not intellectual­ ly honest. ' First, unions are not a special interest. Unlike corpora­ tions, which represent a small number of people, unions represent large numbers of people. Unions are more accu­ rately described as popular interests. The strength of cor­ porations comes from organizing a small number ot wealthy individuals. The strength of unions come from organizing large numbers of middle class Americans. Second, unions do not have nearly the influence that cor­ porations and wealthy individuals do. In the last presiden­ tial campaign, corporations outspent unions by a six to one margin. When donations from wealthy individuals are accounted for; it becomes clear that spending by unions m campaigns carries little more influence than an endorse­ ment from the Thrifty Nickel. Luckily there are many vot­ ers, both nonunion and union, who support the nghts ot workers to organize. Again, a popular interest. Finally the statement "unions hijack the paychecks ot workers for political purposes!" is misleading. While cer­ tainly true, it does not obviate the corporations who do exactly the same thing to their shareholders. Since corpora­ tions spend a lot more money or campaigns, this ought to be a greater concern. However our corporate dominated media apparently thinks otherwise. r David G.

Vif» H a i m S t o S U D P O lt, b U t U niversity RIDING HIGH T he Da m Texan August 16, 2000 U. of Chicago: Lonely hearts will fall apart By The University Wire CHICAGO — Psychological and physical well-being have been linked once more in a study done by researchers at the University of Chicago and Ohio State University. The research proves that loneliness, much like cigarette smoking or obesi­ ty, can lead to heart trouble. Scientists already knew that loneli­ ness and health problems were linked. It was a common belief among doctors and lay people, however, that these health problems were a result of self-neglect. "It was assumed that people who are lonely don't take good care of themselves," said John Cacioppo, the Tiffany and Margaret Blake Distinguished Service Professor in psychology at the University of Chicago and director of the study. Cacioppo has shown that the caus­ es of heart disease in lonely people are more complicated. Lonely people have a harder time dealing with stressful situations and maintain poor­ er sleeping habits than their less lone­ ly counterparts. Both of these factors can be major causes of heart disease. The study involved both younger and older subjects who scored high on a loneliness test. These subjects were compared to a control group of people who were not lonely. The peo­ ple in the control group were of the same age and socioeconomic back­ ground as their counterparts. During the day, both groups of sub­ jects had their hearts monitored as they solved math problems and were asked to give short speeches. In a lonely patient, the heart would respond to these minor stresses by constricting, as opposed to non-lonely subjects, whose arteries would expand. Over time, constricted arter­ ies can lead to high blood pressure. "Lonely people don't mobilize the same metabolic resources as non- lonely people," Cacioppo said. "They tend to hunker down." In This heart risk is compounded by the tendency of lonely people to have poorer sleeping habits. the evenings, the sleep patterns of both groups were electronically moni­ tored. The lonely group slept an aver­ age of 5.8 hours while their non-lone­ ly counterparts slept 6.4 hours a night. Prolonged lack of sleep can lead to hormone imbalance and speed up the aging process. Lonely people not only sleep fewer hours, but sleep more restlessly than people who are not lonely. Loneliness is not necessarily char­ acterized by a solitary lifestyle. With younger subjects, pooled from Ohio State University, there were no exter­ nal differences. "We found that there was no differ­ ence among the students in character­ istics normally associated with loneli­ ness," Cacioppo said. "The students had friends and were involved in activities." Rather, the signs of loneliness are more internal. Lonely people suffer from feelings of isolation or not belonging. They also feel threatened and insecure in the world, possibly lacking stable relationships. "Changes in marital and child­ bearing patterns and in the age struc­ ture of the U.S. society are projected to produce in the 21st century a steady increase in the number of older peo­ ple who lack spouses or children,' Cacioppo said. The study also found that the corti­ sol levels, which are indications of immune response, were also the same for both groups. With so many physi­ cal similarities between both the con­ trol and study groups, Cacioppo's research indicates that physicians may need to look more closely when diagnosing patients with high blood pressure IJTv y _ B r ie f s -M- NIH allocates $5.5 million for women’s health research The National Institutes of Health awarded a total of $5.5 million to 11 universities nationwide, including Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, for women's health research last week. The money, given by the Office of Research on Women's Health, a division of the National Institutes of Health, and nine other NIH agencies, will be used to pair junior university research fac­ ulty members with senior researchers mentorship programs. Joyce Rudick, programs and management direc­ tor of the Office of Research on Women's Health, said the program is valuable in increasing the number of skilled researchers doing interdiscipli­ nary research in all areas of women's health. Sara Lyn, senior medical advisor of the Office of Women's Health in the Department of Health and Human Services, said programs like this are important to the field of women's health. Program draws ilfcSM students to UT for an executive seminar Next week the University will host business students from Mexico City for an executive semi­ nar as part of a joint MBA program between the University and one of Mexico s top universities. Classes start in September at the Instituto Technologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey Tlapan campus. The executive seminar at the University is the first of three held through­ out the year. The Executive MBA in Mexico City program is a two-year, dual MBA program, said Carolyn Rathbun, assistant director of the Executive MBA program in Mexico City. This year, 55 students are returning, along with 59 new students. Students must be admitted to the University and ITESM and will receive an MBA from each university when they've completed the program, she said.

Chelsea Goodchlld /D aily Texan S taff online By Anita Powell Daily Texan Staff The University's online degree programs could face increased scrutiny under a new set of accreditation guidelines proposed earlier this month by the Council of Regional Accrediting Commissions, a group composed of six regional higher-education accrediting associations. The new standards will help individual accreditation organizations determine criteria to accredit distance-based degree programs, although no specific accreditation criteria are in place yet, according to Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications, an accreditation agency that caters to western states. , T„ The UT TeleCampus, which is affiliated with the Ui System, offers degrees online for several master's degree pro­ grams, such as business administration, educational technol­ ogy, kinesiology, electrical engineering and computer science. Darcy Hardy, director of tine UT TeleCampus, said the University is not at risk of losing its accreditation. "We have worked very dosely with the Southern Assodation of Colleges and Schools as we have developed these programs," Hardy said. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools is one of six accrediting agencies nation­ wide. Sally Johnstone, director of the Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications, said tiñere is a shortage of people willing to evaluate online degree programs. "So many institutions have distance-ed programs, that there are not enough individuals who can do evaluations to determine accreditation eligibility," Johnstone said. "Most of this is related to learning on tine Web — it's a Web explosion. One of the TeleCampus's priorities is faculty control over course content, Hardy said. "For example, for our online MBA program, there are lb faculty from the eight schools of business who oversee the content," Hardy said. "The TeleCampus does not oversee course quality — faculty completely control it." UTs TeleCampus is only one of many online degree pro­ grams that have come into existence in recent years. "Our work was to assist evaluators in knowing what kinds of questions to ask to evaluate criteria for accreditation, Johnstone said. "We wrote a set of protocol guidelines. They're not actual standards." These criteria would be determined through the guidelines a n d would vary regionally, Johnstone said. "Maybe 10 to 12 years down the road, the critena will be the same nationwide," Johnstone said. We need to have some degree of consistency.

LULAC supports civil rights suit Albertson’s accused o f discrimination against Spanish-speaking employee By Erica Steele Daily Texan Staff A filed lawsuit last week against Albertson's Inc. is gaining support from one of the nations oldest Hispanic organizations, which claims that an Albertson's employee was discriminated against on the job for speaking Spanish. A former Albertson's employee filed the lawsuit against two store managers and Albertson s for physical and emotional abuse. Irma Rodriguez claims she was repeatedly discriminated against at work, including verbal abuse and physical assaults, and her job for speaking was Spanish in the store. She said that managers told her she was not permitted to speak Spanish in the store. threatened one Anita Wilde, of Rodriguez's attorneys, said prob­ lems began for Rodriguez seven months ago when she began working at the Albertson's on Burnet Road. She had previously worked another Austin Albertson's without problems, but the former store director and her manager in the deli depart­ ment began harassing her daily, # Wilde said. in Rodriguez, a Mexican immi­ grant living with her husband and children in Austin, fainted one day at work due to the stress inflicted on her and was briefly hospitalized, according to the petition. "After she returned to work from the hospital, they threatened to write her up again for missing work," Wilder said. Mike Read, vice president of federal government and media 1 C a • _ A !

The League of United Latin American Citizens announced support for Rodriguez's lawsuit yesterday at a press conference. a is LULAC nationwide Hispanic organization dedicated to promoting civil rights educa­ tion and employment opportuni­ ties. Gil Gamez, a local spokesman for LULAC, said the organization is concerned that Albertson s, one of the country's largest grocery chains, is discriminating against its workers. “She received unconstitutional treatment the hands of Albertson's because of her cul­ ture," Gamez said. at LULAC will most likely become more involved in the law­ suit because, Gamez said, the Rodriguez case isn't an isolated one. “The facts speak clearly that Albertson's has no policy to pre­ vent incidents like this from hap­ pening," Gamez said. In Read contrast, said Albertson's welcomes Spanish­ speaking employees who can help Spanish-speaking customers. “We appreciate employees with bilingual skills," he said. A lawsuit over Albertson's management practices is pending in a U.S. District Court in Idaho that is a consolidation of 10 cases from 25 states. BLUE TUESDAY T he Daily Texan August 16, 2000 State&Lqcal Fort Hood soldiers to help end fires Fire center personnel, residen^ see little ^ sight By Michael Taylor Daily Texan Staff The National Interagency Fire Center has enlisted the aid of two U.S. Army battalions based at Fort Hood in battling wildfires, which have taken 12 lives and burned 4.9 million acres of land nationwide this year. The 20th Engineer Battalion, part of the 1st Cavalry Division based at Fort Hood, deployed Aug. 13 to reinforce professional firefighters in Montana. The Third Battalion, part of the 4th Infantry Division — also based at Fort Hood — and a Marine battalion from Camp Pendleton, Calif., are now fighting fires in Idaho and Montana, said Major LeAnn Swieczkowski, the Army liaison to NIFC. The NIFC is com­ prised óf federal agencies con­ cerned with fighting wildfires. Swieczkowski said the Army sol­ diers were trained by NIFC experts for two days at Fort Hood and for they several more days when arrived in the area of the fires. They work in 20-man teams under one NIFC fire manager and were b ro u g h t in to help relieve profes­ sional firefighters, who can now be used in areas where their expertise is essential. “They come behind the more sea­ soned firefighters and they ensure that the fires are out that have already Swieczkowski said. "You've got roots burning [and] smoldering, fires that are smoldering that could start again." passed them, by This year, 66,629 total fires have burned nearly 5 million acres of land, more than twice the yearly average taken over the past 10 years. . Diane Williams, information otti- cer for NIFC, said the cost of fight­ ing the fires has been estimated to be around $ 1 5 -million-dollars-a- day. She said 85 large fires are cur­ rently burning, with no end in sight. Associated Press “They're saying it could be until the snow flies [or] until we get tor­ rential rain," Williams Said. "We just had some winds kick up today that caused the situation to escalate. Calm days, high humidity, that helps. It's a day to day thing right now?

"It's like a bad horror movie or something, the smoke is so dense." “It could rain but Pflug said residents have been advised to avoid outdoor activities, and little has been said about relief. it usually doesn't this time of year," Pflug said. "If it does, [there's] lightning, and when [there] has been lightning it started new fires every place it hit. Pflug said she can see the fires from her house at night. The closest one is 15 miles and is visible when the smoke has been blown in the opposite direction, she said. “One night it looked like a bunch of little torches all over the moun­ tainside because there were so many of them, and the night before that it was just like a big sheet of orange," Pflug said. Further deployments of military personnel are possible depending on whether NIFC requests them. The next battalion sent would come from 101st Airborne of Fort Campbell, Ky., said Army spokesman Major Thomas Collins.

S e e p a g e 8 % S ports TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? The Big Three of Texas brought a lot of hype, but starting roles still not secured By Damien Pierce Daily Texan Staff By its very nature, greatness is an exaggeration. And at Texas, such tall tales run deeper than most. Orangebloods want to believe the Big Three are every bit as talented as the hype surrounding them, so most of the time, that's what you go ahead and tell them. You exaggerate the talent they have in order to feed the masses what they want. You write about how Roy Williams could rip a pass out of orbit with his leaping ability, and you scribble down that when B.J. Johnson runs, all you see is a blur. Heck, you even throw in a line that Sloan Thomas must have glue on his hands because he's never dropped a pass in his life. Let the fans believe in the greatness of Texas' young receiving corps, whether >• Texas Football Notes, page 8_____ __ it's a tall tale or not, because that's what they want to hear. They relish the exag­ geration, just like anyone else around the country does. "Our fans read about how great these guys are, and then those fans come out to practice and decide our young guys are ready to start in the first game, Texas head coach Mack Brown said of his highly-touted receivers. "That’s real­ ly unfair because these guys have only been through four hours of college prac­ tice, and they haven't even gone up against the varsity yet. They're not ready t to be that good." Spread the word, even if you dont want to believe it. After the final freshmen-only practice Tuesday at Frank Denius Fields, the Longhorns' starting receivers are Artie Ellis and Montrell Flowers. Despite the popular belief (or exag­ geration) that Thomas, Williams or Johnson would stroll into town and immediately steal one or both of the starting jobs, it hasn't happened yet, and to save everyone from more specu­ lation, it probably won't happen any­ time soon. So forget the hype, at least for the first couple of weeks. "Obviously they are a talented group of receivers," Brown said. But these are guys that went up against 15- , 16- and 17-year-olds a year ago that aren't as physically talented as the cor­ ners that are at the college level. At this level, corners are going to play bump-and-run against receivers to a degree our freshmen have never seen before."

Catch 10 Speed at Saxon Pub, tonight at midnight and Hole In the Wall on Thursday at midnight.
