Bosnian battles escalate after talks collapse

Associated Press

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — U.N. 
p e a c e k e e p e rs g av e u p try in g to re sto re 
pow er in Sarajevo after repair crews w ere 
shot at du ring fighting that escalated after 
the collapse of peace talks, U.N. officials 
said Sunday.

Heavy fighting also was reported in other 

parts of the former Yugoslav republic.

In neighborin g C roatia, th at rep u b lic's 
president threatened to expand a 10-day-old 
offensive against Serbs in southern Croatia. 
Meanwhile, a gaping hole that developed in

a bombed dam in Croatia was repaired, but 
the structure still posed a danger of flooding 
for 20,000 people living downstream.

U.N. officers said three teams of engineers 
and military observers w ould not try to fix a 
main electrical transmission line in Sarajevo 
after com ing u n d e r h eav y fire S a tu rd a y 
despite written guarantees of a cease-fire by 
the city's M uslim -led defenders and Serb 
forces besieging the city.

W ith tem peratures below freezing, only 
about a fifth of Sarajevo gets any electricity, 
and m ost of it is reserved for vital institu­
tions such as h o sp itals, b ak eries and the 
presidency.

None of the approxim ately 40 U.N. team 
m em bers w as h u rt. B osnian governm ent 
forces fired directly on two U.N. crews but 
it was unknow n who shot at the other team, 
said a U.N. spokesman, Cmdr. Barry Frew- 
er.

P resid en t Alija Izetbegovic, a M uslim , 
urged the international com m unity to get 
tough w ith rebel Serbs in his republic but 
said he had relatively little hope of getting 
help. He spoke in Zagreb, Croatia's capital, 
on the way home from the collapsed peace 
talks.

O w en of the E uropean C om m unity, said 
th ey w o u ld re p o rt to the U .N . S ecurity 
Council this week. Owen said it could use 
"political, economic or m ilitary m eans" to 
force a settlement of the 10-month-old Bosn­
ian war.

But the international community has been 
unable to agree on enforcing a no-fly zone 
over Bosnia, trade sanctions against Serbia- 
dom inated Y ugoslavia are being violated 
and there are sharp divisions am ong Securi­
ty Council members about how to proceed.

"At this point, we don't see how the war 

can end," Izetbegovic told reporters.

Owen said Sunday that the United States

and European Com munity members should 
not take further action while hope remained 
for a negotiated settlement.

T he C lin to n a d m in is tra tio n say s it is 
reviewing U.S. policy on Bosnia, but Izetbe- 
goiric said his governm ent was not counting 
on direct U.S. intervention.

"T o be honest, we only believe in o u r­
selves," he said. "W hy should A m erican 
m en com e to Bosnia to fight for freedom 
w hen our men are ready to fight? But we 
need arm s."

Serbs, w ho control about 70 percent of 
Bosnia, are armed with heavy weapons left 
by the Yugoslav army.

Judges’ conduct
comes under fire

James Wilkerson
Daily Texan Staff

An Austin attorney has filed a complaint 
in U.S. District Court against state District 
Judge Pete Lowry, accusing him of im prop­
erly directin g cases to specific ju d g es in 
order to influence the outcome of trials.

Two other district judges in Travis Coun­
ty, Paul Davis Jr. and John Dietz, are also 
nam ed in th e su it. T hey are accused of 
using im proper procedures during trials in 
order to give unfair aid to favored litigants. 
Two A ustin law yers, M ichael W ash and 
D ouglass H earne Sr., are also accused in 
the lawsuit of coercing the judges in order 
to slant the cases.

The suit against the judges, w hich was 
filed Thursday by Austin lawyer Erik Moe­
bius, stems from a fraud suit filed against 
W ash several years ago by the family of 
Abelia and Herman Garcia of Seguin.

According to the petition filed on behalf 
of the Garcias — w ho are nam ed as plain­
tiffs in Thursday's suit — Lowry has used 
his rig h t to assign cases to judges in the 
civil court im properly, directing cases to 
judges he knew would rule as he wanted.

Moebius said in the law suit that a letter 
to th e S ta te Bar of T exas fro m fo rm e r 
A ustin M ayor Jeff F ried m an an d F ried ­
m a n 's th e n -c a m p a ig n m a n a g e r, A u stin 
la w y e r M ichael K e n to r, sh o w s K e n to r 
accusing Lowry of adm itting that he had 
directed cases.

"Judge Lowry had indicated to my wife 
earlier in the year that he could and would 
direct a case that she had pending in the

D istrict C ourts to a Judge w ho w ould be 
m ost sympathetic to her case," said a state­
m ent presented in the lawsuit as signed by 
Kentor, addressed by Friedm an to a state 
bar grievance committee.

" H e th e n c o m m e n te d th a t I s h o u ld 
remem ber that he had picked a good Judge 
for a civil suit that my wife had earlier in 
the year," the letter later said.

L o w ry d e c lin e d c o m m en t T h u rs d a y 
night. "I have not know n of this litigation 
and I have no comment on it at this time," 
he said.

Kentor did not return phone calls Thurs­

day and Friday.

Friedm an would neither verify nor deny 
the validity of the statem ent, but said the 
State Bar told Moebius not to distribute the 
letter.
. "I cannot comment on something I have 
been told the bar is investigating," Fried­
man said.

A nother letter m entioned in the law suit 
is presented as evidence that Low ry has 
influenced cases in the past. The letter, with 
Low ry's nam e and address printed at the 
top, is addressed to "Dottie." The plaintiffs 
claim Dorothy Dillon Mathews, also nam ed 
as a defendant in T h u rsd a y 's suit, is the 
"D ottie" addressed.

According to the petition filed in the law­
suit, M athews' ex-husband, Keith Bell, said 
in a sworn statem ent dated October 1992, 
"It is my belief that my ex-wife and Judge 
Lowry were having an affair at the time of 
m y d iv o rce . Ju d g e L ow ry h a n d le d th e 
divorce proceeding."

Clinton struggles through high disapproval

Associated Press

to h a p p e n h a s n o t 

days of a new administration.

W ASHINGTON — The C linton 
adm inistration, burdened w ith the 
highest disapproval ratings of any 
new president in decades, is strug­
gling to regain control of its m es­
sage afte r an u n ex p e cted h o n e y ­
moon detour.

P resident C linton spent m ost of 
last w eek distracted from his eco­
nomic agenda — the centerpiece of 
his cam paign — by unrelated issues 
such as homosexuals in the military 
and finding a new attorney general.

Clinton m ust set his own agenda, 
or find his presidency buffeted by 
the concerns of others.

" I th in k C lin to n has h it th e 
ground stum bling," said Ben Wat- 
te n b e rg , a s e n io r fé llo w a t th e 
American Enterprise Institute. "The 
great w hirlw ind of activity that was

s u p p o s e d 
occurred."

" T h e eco n om y is w h a t he w as 
elected on and th at's w hat people 
are w a itin g fo r," said Jeff Faux, 
d ire c to r of th e E conom ic P olicy 
Institute.

C linton insists his "laser beam " 
economic focus hasn't been diverted 
by the controversy over whether to 
allow hom osexuals in the m ilitary 
or other side issues.

"It's distracting you. It's not dis­
tra c tin g m e ," he s n a p p e d a t 
rep orters last w eek am id negotia­
tions over lifting the gay ban.

But D em ocrats and Republicans 
alike say the opening days of Clin­
ton's adm inistration have lacked the 
sam e d isc ip lin e and focus as his 
w ell-oiled " P u ttin g People F irst" 
presidential campaign.

C onsultant Ann Lewis said some 
confusion is inevitable in the early

"The same week you're changing 
all the phones at the White House, 
it's tough to stay on top of a multi- 
m edia p re se n ta tio n of m essag e," 
she said. "I w ould guess C linton's 
long-term com m itm ent to issues of 
economic change will enable him to 
weather and outlast this storm ."

Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, 
R -K an., sa id w h ile C lin to n 's hit 
som e bum ps in the road, "no real 
dam age" has been done yet.

" I th in k th e h o n e y m o o n w as 
betw een the election and the inau­
g u ra l," he said S u n d ay on NBC- 
TV's Meet the Press.

Already distancing himself from 
cam paign p rom ises for a m iddle- 
class tax cut and halving the deficit 
in four years, Clinton has promised 
to o u tlin e his econom ic plan in a 
Feb. 17 speech to Congress.

"Everyone looks forward to mov­

ing ahead on the things he thinks 
are im portant," said Press Secretary 
Dee Dee M yers. " I th in k p eo p le 
w ant a debate about how to get the 
economy m oving again."

But it is C lin to n 's u n c e rta in ty 
over how to do that that helped trip 
him up in the opening days of his 
presidency, according to M ichael 
R obinson, a p ro fesso r of g o v ern ­
ment at Georgetown University.

"H e could talk about the econo­
my, the economy, the economy, as a 
candidate but now h e's the presi­
dent and he doesn't know w hat to 
do about it," Robinson said. "The 
reality of governance ... is m uddy­
ing u p th at easy m essage that he 
had during the campaign."

Americans are giving record-high 
disapproval ratings to the new pres­
id e n t an d d is p la y in g g ro w in g

Student groups prepare for Black History Month

Raina Anderson 
and Edna C. Oliveros
Daily Texan Staff

Black H isto ry M onth begins M onday, an d 
m any cam pus organizations and student groups 
are planning activities to celebrate the occasion 
throughout February.

George Wright, vice provost and professor of 
h istory, said th e m onth is an o p p o rtu n ity to 
educate th<> general public about Hack contribu­
tions and past struggles. W right, w ho teaches 
African-American history, said he usually has 20 
to 25 invitations from around the nation to give 
speeches during the month, but is able to accept 
only 10 to 12 of them.

Because of his m any en gagem ents, h e w ill 
spend much of this m onth out of tire state giving 
p re se n ta tio n s to schools, colleges an d o th er 
organizations on black history.

W right said that one should not sim ply focus 
on black history in February, but that it should 
be an ongoing process.

" It's a chance for them to see that history is 
alive. We need to teach our young people about 
fiie negative parts of our history, of our struggle, 
b u t also to show that things have im proved," 
W right said.

M ichael Thom as, vice p re sid e n t of K appa

Alpha Psi fraternity — a national African-Amer­
ican organization — said tibe group would have 
a Black History M onth quiz set u p at a table in 
Jester Dormitory and w ould give prizes to stu­
dents w ith correct answers.

"This is one small w ay of informing students 
about Made H istory M onth and increasing their 
knowledge of our history," Thomas said. "O ur 
efforts to increase know ledge of black achieve­
m ents and contributions do not last sim ply for a 
m onth, but are m ade throughout the year."

"W e're always looking for ways to help and 
w ork w ithin the co m m unity an d durin g this 
m onth our efforts really increase," he added.

T he Zeta Phi Beta so ro rity is p la n n in g an 

entire week of activities called Soul W eek

"Basically it is to capture things that are tradi­
tio n a lly b lack , in th e m ovies, fa sh io n s an d 
food," said Tiffany W illiams, p residen t of the 
sorority.

The organization also participates in a black 

history program at Pearce Junior High School.

"We feel this m onth is a time for black Greek 
o rg a n iz a tio n s to shine. We step up w o rk to 
im p ro v e and co n trib u te to our co m m u n ity ," 
Williams said.

D erick Young, p resid en t of Phi Beta Sigma 
fraternity said during the last week of February 
the fraternity and the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity 
w ould combine to prom ote unity between tradi­

tionally white and traditionally black fraternities 
by jointly sponsoring an event.

" E v ery o n e sh o u ld h av e som e k n o w led g e 
about all cultures," Young said. "W e'd like to 
use this month to prom ote black businesses and 
for students to get into the com m unity and help 
within the community."

O ther organizations around Austin are also 
planning their own observances of Black History' 
Month.

About 800 sixth-grade students from around 
the Austin Independent School District visited 
the Lyndon B- Johnson Library on the UT cam­
pus Friday to hear Ami Johnson, a well-known 
African-American singer and teacher, sing in a 
program sponsored by the library in observance 
of Black History' Month.

Anne Powell, acting social studies coordinator 
for AISD grades K-12, said the students seemed 
receptive to the program.

"The kids seemed to enjoy it ... they w ere a 
p re tty g o o d a u d ie n c e b e c a u se th ey w e re 
involved," she said.

Powell also said that the LBJ Library has a 
program for Black H istory M onth every year, 
and invites a group of students to attend.

Larry Reed, assistant director of the Lyndon 
B. Johnson F oundation, said th e fo u n d a tio n 
began sponsoring program s for Black History 
M onth about five or six years ago.

Lowry “reluctantly agreed" to give up the case when pressed, Bell said.

According to the lawsuit, the undated letter addressed to "Dottie" said, 
"I think you have acknowledged that you need psychiatric help and it is so 
obvious that you do. If you want that, I can help you get it in a way that 
Keith will never know so it [illegible] be used against you."

The current lawsuit resulted from two separate lawsuits — one filed in 
1987 for the Garcias and a separate lawsuit involving a then-Austin physi­
cian, Keith Bell.

Thursday's lawsuit claims that both Davis and Dietz used improper 

court procedure in an attempt to block a lawsuit against Wash.

The plaintiffs contend that Dietz used ambiguous statements to give mis­
leading answers to questions and that during a summary judgment hearing 
before Davis — during which the judge decides whether to send a case to 
trial — evidence was lost and misplaced and Moebius was improperly 
barred from presenting his plantiffs' case.

Davis declined to comment on the accusations.

increased income," Perryman said. 
"UT graduates will have a strong 
reason to stay in Austin because 
more job opportunities in upper- 
end management ... will be creat­
ed."

According to Perryman's report, 
about 83,000 Austin jobs are cur­
rently supported by trade w ith 
M exico. With the p assage of 
NAFTA, Perryman estimated that 
the total number of jobs supported 
by trade with Mexico would grow 
to 123,000 by the year 2000.

"The kinds of jobs [NAFTA] cre­
ates are the kinds of jobs Austin has 
been looking for," Perryman said. 
"We have a perfect match between 
what we produce and what they 
need ... manufactured goods and 
high-tech products."

Sidney Weintraub, holder of the 
Dean Rusk Chair in the Lyndon 
Baines Johnson School of Public 
Affairs and an expert in U.S.-Mexi- 
co relations, said he foresees dra­
m atic b en efits for UT stu d en ts 
 
through NAFTA.

S. Warren

Ted 

"I can't imagine students losing 
from this," Weintraub said. "There 
will be more jobs, and they will be 
studying in a com m unity that is 
doing well. I encourage students to 
 
pursue a greater k n o w led g e of 
Mexico."

Johnny Ludden

Gov. Ann Richards said in a pre­
pared statem en t last w eek that 
trade relations with Mexico would 
only enhance business and trade for 
Austin and South Texas.

"A strong free trade agreement 
will have a dramatic impact on the 
Texas economy and it has been one 
of my top priorities since taking 
office," Richards said.

Rajendra Srivastava, chairman of 
the UT Department of Marketing, 
said there were several opposing 
currently d ela y in g 
concerns 
NAFTA's passage.

"We need to be concerned with 
the environm ental issue and the 
labor issue," Srivastava said.

"Mexico does not spend enough 
m oney on pollution control, and 
there are im m igrants w h o w ill 
work at lower rates than U.S. work­
ers, which threatens U.S. employees 
in lower skill jobs."

Trade with Mexico generates:
■ $6.9 billion in expenditures.
■ $2.3 billion in income.
■ $3.5 Billion in gross area prod­

uct.

According to Perryman's report, 
by the year 2000, Austin can expect 
an increase to $15.3 billion in expen­
ditures, $5.2 billion in income, and 
$7.8 billion in gross area product.

Srivastava also noted the increas­
ing num ber of "m aquiladoras," 
American companies that manufac­
ture goods in Mexico for U.S. com­
panies.

Possible

Social Security freeze draws fire

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A proposal being con­
sidered by the C linton ad m in istratio n to 
curb Social Security benefits is already find­
ing strong opposition in Congress. One key 
law m ak e r on S u n d ay called it " a d e a th 
w ish" to be forgotten.

President Clinton reportedly is consider­
ing pro p o sin g a tem po rary freeze on the 
yearly cost-of-living increase on Social Secu­
rity benefits, or imposing new taxes, on the 
benefits as a way to cut the deficit.

Either idea, if pursued, is likely to cause 
an uproar am ong the 41 million recipients of 
Social Security checks. Already the political 
fallout is reaching Capitol Hill.

the way and forget it right now ," said Sen. 
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., chairman 
of the Senate Finance C o m m ittee, w hen 
asked about the cost-of-living freeze.

But Moynihan, on ABC's This Week With 
David Brinkley, left open the possibility that 
several other politically touchy tax issues — 
including hig her taxes on Social Security 
benefits and tinkering with home m ortgage 
deductions — may be at least open for dis­
cussion.

"Y ou can talk ab o u t th a t," M oy nihan 
replied when asked about proposals to hike 
Social Security taxes and again when asked 
about the interest deduction for hom e m ort­
gages. Both issues have strong constituen­
cies and any changes are likely to prom pt 
vocal opposition.

"That's a death wish and let's get it out of

Nevertheless, Moynihan, whose commit-

“That’s a death wish and let’s 
... forget it right now.”

— Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
D-N.Y.

tee deals with tax issues, said he adam antly 
opposes a freeze even for one year of Social 
S ecurity cost-of-living benefits, saying it 
w o u ld lead to "m a n y m ore m illio n s" of 
people being pushed into poverty.

Last week, Sen. Donald Riegle, D-Mich., 
chairm an of the Senate Banking Committee, 
also came out strongly against any interrup­
tion in Social Security cost-of-living increas­
es.

T he a v e rag e Social S ecu rity re c ip ie n t 
receives $653 a m onth, w ith a 3.2 percent

cost-of-living increase expected this year 
because of 1992 inflation.

The government estimates that about $10 
billion w ould be saved if the next cost-of- 
living hike w ere elim inated. Tax experts 
h av e said sim ilar sav in g s could also be 
m ade by increasing the taxes paid on Social 
Security benefits.

Under current law, retired couples earn­
ing $32,000 a year in income and individual 
retirees earning $25,000 m ust pay income 
tax on half their Social Security benefits.

But retirees, who boast one of W ashing­
ton's strongest lobbying groups, are strong­
ly opposed to either limiting Social Security 
benefits or taxing them at a higher level.

Horace Deets, executive director of the 
Am erican A ssociation of Retired Persons, 
noted that Social Security has a substantial

reserve needed to pay benefits for current 
and future retirees and that the program is 
not contributing to the deficit.

R etirees long h av e a rg u e d th a t Social 
Security is not a governm ent "entitlem ent" 
but more like an insurance fund into which 
wage earners m ake paym ents in anticipa­
tion of benefits after retirement.

"T h is is a c o n trib u to ry in su ran ce p ro ­
gram . T hese m o n ies are h eld in tr u s t," 
agreed Moynihan, whose committee would 
have to decide on changes in Social Security 
benefits or how they are taxed.

The annual cost-of-living increase in ben­
efits, established in 1975, "is a simple device 
that maintains the value of retirem ent bene­
fits, nothing more. You cut it once, you cut it 
for the rest of the life of that person," he 
added.

Governors weigh 
health care reform

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The nation's governors, 
say in g u n iv e rs a l h e a lth care is a " m o ra l 
im p e ra tiv e ," b egan form al c o n sid e ra tio n 
Sunday for their proposal to extend coverage 
to all Americans.

The proposal adopted by a com m ittee of 
the National Governors Association calls for 
guaranteed access to health care for every cit­
izen a n d m in im u m fe d e ra l s ta n d a r d s to 
reduce medical liability costs.

U n d e r its " m a n a g e d c o m p e titiv e " a p ­
proach, the governm ent w ould m aintain a 
national database through which consumers 
could receive information about the cost and 
quality of health care services.

In addition, the governm ent would expand 
its support for prim ary and preventive health 
care p ro g ram s, in clu d in g p erio d ic h ea lth 
screenings, prenatal care, well-baby care and 
childhood immunizations.

"E v erybody's looking for a broad-based 
basic fram ework," said South Carolina Gov. 
Carroll Campbell, a Republican and a m em ­
ber of the committee that designed the plan.

The full association will vote Tuesday on 
the plan, which will be presented to Congress 
and President Clinton, who only recently left 
the organization's ranks. The governors will 
meet M onday with Clinton to discuss health 
care and other issues.

Clinton m ade universal health care a cen­
tral theme of his campaign last year, but has 
not yet unveiled his plan.

In ad d itio n to im plem enting nationw ide 
coverage, he prom ised an annual spending 
cap on health care, tax changes to discourage 
ra p id in creases in d ru g prices, in su ran c e 
reforms including a universal claim form and 
"p o o ls" allow ing sm all businesses to band 
together to buy more affordable coverage.

Clinton has received promises of coopera­
tion from state officials and the medical com-

Clinton made universal health 
care a central theme of his 
campaign last year, but has not 
yet unveiled his plan.

m unity has agreed with the idea of universal 
health care, but is unable to refine a proposal 
of its own to subm it to the president.

Last m onth, the insurance in d u stry p ro ­
posed a sw eeping universal care plan th at 
w ould be financed partly by taxing Am eri­
cans w ith generous benefits. The n a tio n 's 
business com m unity, concerned about the 
rising costs of health care coverage, have gen­
erally em braced C linton's cost containm ent 
ideas.

D em ocratic Gov. Evan Bayh of In d ian a 
said governors were m otivated by fears that 
the eco nom y an d b u d g e t d eficit w ill n o t 
improve "unless we deal w ith health care."

Gov. Ann Richards abandoned an attem pt 
to exclude the so-called " to rt reform " lan ­
guage addressing medical liability costs. The 
final draft of the plan proposes that Congress 
set national limits on malpractice liability and 
allow states to adopt even tighter restrictions.
Tort reform backers generally support lim­
its on m edical liability coverage, believing 
such curbs will bring m edical m alpractice 
costs under control and result in lower health 
care costs.

Gov. Lawton Chiles, a Florida Democrat, 
w arned th at the federal governm ent " a in 't 
gonna w an t this ball" and Congress w ould 
prefer that the states deal w ith the issue.

Cost containm ent is a m ajor focus of the 
p ro po sal, w hich says th at costs cannot be 
controlled "unless and until every legal resi­
dent has health insurance."

It goes on to say that "universal health care 
is both a moral im perative and an invaluable 
cost containment tool."

Iranian president cool
to improved relations

Associated Press

TEH R A N , Ira n — P re si­
d e n t H a sh e m i R afsa n ja n i 
said S unday th at he w ould

R afsanjani used his first

and, therefore, I see no new 
avenues to explore for coop­

The p resid en t said grow ­

mean better diplomatic ties.

Sect leader fails to make 
Messianic declaration

NEW YORK — The 90-year-old spiritual 
leader of the Brooklyn-based Lubavitcher 
sect of Hasidic Jews appeared before his fol­
lowers Sunday w ithout revealing the news 
that some had awaited — that he is the Mes­
siah.

Earlier, Rabbi Schmuel Butman, a mem ­

gants that Schneerson's appearance "is not 
to be in terpreted as a co ro n atio n " of the 
Messiah.

Kuwait cracks down on criticism

KUWAIT — An appeals court upheld a 
prison sentence for a journalist w ho criti­
cized Islamic fundam entalism and wom en 
drivers who wear veils.

Fuad al-Hashem wrote in November 1991 
that women wearing veils — a Muslim sym­
bol of m odesty — looked like beasts and 
could scare other drivers.

A civil court sentenced him in M ay to 
three m on ths in priso n, and the appeals 
court upheld the punishm ent on Saturday.

H e said he w as w o rrie d th e sen ten ce 
would scare other journalists from criticiz­
ing fundamentalism.

Aftermath

Workers examined the damage Sunday in downtown Bogotá, 
Colombia, after a 220-pound car bomb exploded late Saturday.

Twenty people died and more than 50 were wounded, according 
to hospital officials. No one has claimed responsibility.

Pope prepares to visit divided Africa

Associated Press

V ATICA N CITY — W hen P o p e John 
Paul II leaves for Africa on W ednesday, he 
w ill journey into the h ea rt of a M uslim - 
Christian conflict on a continent that is one 
of the w orld's last major battlegrounds for 
converts.

The Muslim fundam entalist government 
of S u d a n h as b een w id e ly ac c u se d of 
o p p re s sin g its C h ristia n m in o rity as it 
grinds out a 10-year war with rebels in the 
south, where most of the Christians live.

The Sudanese Bishops Conference says 
Christians have been tortured. Missionaries 
have been forced to leave. Priests have been 
arrested and parishes closed. Christians say 
they are closely w atched and som etim es 
rounded up.

The plight of his brethren helped prom pt 
the leader of the w orld's Roman Catholics 
to tack Sudan on to the end of his eight-day

African pilgrim age, w hich will first take 
him to Benin and Uganda.

The m ilitary governm ent in K hartoum , 
seeking to boost its intern atio n al im age, 
agreed to the visit, even though the Holy 
See has lodged a protest against its alleged 
hum an rights abuses.

In advance of the visit, Sudan has eased 
travel restrictions, agreed to televise the 
p o p e 's s c h e d u le d o p e n -a ir M ass an d 
released two jailed priests. But it is uncer­
tain whether those improvem ents will last.

" I t is a q u e stio n in e v e ry o n e 's m ind. 
What is going to happen when everybody 
forgets about Sudan w hen the pope goes 
hom e?" said the Rev. Joseph B ragotti, a 
veteran missionary in Africa.

He said one official told a fellow member 
of his order, the Khartoum -founded Corn- 
boni Missions, that C hristians w ould pay 
for the pope's visit after he leaves.

The archbishop of K hartoum , G abriel 
Zoubeir Wako, told the Italian weekly m ag­

azine Famiglia Cristiana that he fears the 
im provem ents w ould stop once the pope 
leaves and international attention goes with 
him.

Africa has long been close to the heart of 
history's m ost-travelled pope. It is one of 
the last major sources of converts, and both 
M uslims and Christians are struggling for 
them.

S u d an 's population of 26 m illion is 70 
percent Muslim, w ith the rest evenly divid­
ed between Christians and animists. Some 
6 m illion people — m ostly Christian and 
anim ist — live in the southern provinces, 
where the Sudan People's Liberation Army 
is fighting for more autonomy.

3,000 U.S. troops leave Somalia; talks resume

Associated Press

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Nearly 3,000 American sol­
diers and Marines are returning hom e this week in the 
biggest pullout since U.S. forces landed in Somalia, a mil­
itary spokesman said Sunday.

M arine Col. Fred Peck said 2,700 servicem en and 
wom en were being sent back to the United States because 
of a com m and restructuring that shifted supply duties 
from the Marines to the Army.

About 1,000 combat M arines went hom e earlier in Jan­
uary. The United States currently has 24,361 troops in 
Somalia.

As 400 Marines prepared for flights home Monday, the 
U nited States began reassem b lin g a Som ali national 
p o lic e force to free u p M a rin e s an d s o ld ie rs now 
patrolling M ogadishu's lawless streets.

In military operations, Marines and Botswanan soldiers 
scooped up four truckloads of arm s and am m unition 
from a major arm s m arket in M ogadishu on Saturday, 
but a raid in the outlying town of Afgoe turned up only 
13 weapons. No American casualties were reported.

Peace talks among the num erous warring Somali fac­
tions were scheduled to resum e Monday. The talks, spon­
sored by the U nited N ations, w ere halted on Jan. 22 
because of cease-fire violations.

Peck said the troop reductions w ere m ade possible 
because some individual units or detachments had com­
pleted their missions in Operation Restore Hope, which 
began on Dec. 9.

"The reductions prim arily affect headquarters, logistics 
a n d com bat s u p p o rt u n its of the A rm y and M arine 
Corps," he said.

Marine Lt. Gen. Robert Johnston, the commander of the 
U.S.-led military coalition, said the American withdrawal 
had no connection w ith the anticipated turnover of mili­
tary control of Somalia to a U.N. peacekeeping force.

That turnover would phase out the rest of the Ameri­
can forces except for ab o u t 3,000 tro o p s w ho w ould 
remain with the U.N. peacekeeping force.

Johnston said in an interview Saturday that he hoped 
the U.N. Security Council would adopt a resolution in the 
next week to 10 days to take over military control.

"A re we ready for the turnover? The answ er is most 
c e rtain ly ," said Johnston, w ho com m ands A m erican 
troops in Somalia as well as 13,000 soldiers from 21 other 
countries.

Peck said this w eek's reduction w ould trim M arine 
forces by about 2,000, more than half of them from the 1st

Insurers shouldn't strip Greeks of booze,

'buffoonery'

o one in a fraternity will pretend that 
all Greek organizations are models of 
sobriety, eivic-mindedness and schol- 

j 

arship.

But that's not what social fraternities are for 
— they are for fun and friendship. Sure, "fun 
and friendship" can often get out of hand. But 
a new risk management policy to be adopted 
this w eek that goes so far as to p ro h ib it 
"engaging in public stunts or bu ffoo n ery " 
could put an end to most legitimate fraternity 
functions.

National fraternity organizations, insurance 
agents and collaborationist UT chapters have 
double-team ed local frats, forcing them to 
adopt a new and outrageously prohibitive risk 
management policy.

These co-conspirators are more concerned 
about improving the public image of fraterni­
ties than they are about protecting the few

remaining legal fraternal activities or adopting 
substantive means of reform.

According to the new Fraternity Insurance 
Purchasers Group policy, no alcoholic bever­
ages may be purchased with chapter funds or 
by an individual member on behalf of the 
chapter.

No member shall permit, encourage or par­
ticipate in drinking games. No chapter may co­
sponsor an event with a charitable organiza­
tion at which alcohol is sold. No fraternity may 
hold an "open party."

Furthermore, the policy mandates that all 
rush activities associated with any chapter be 
alcohol-free. Prospective members of fraterni­
ties will probably have a lot of fun bowling 
while their non-Greek friends are boozing it up 
on Sixth S treet or at a recen t P lan II 
student/professor mixer.

Granted, the new policy rightly prohibits

sexu al a ssa u lt, p o ssessio n o f d ru gs and 
firearms, and illegal hazing. But so does state 
law. The policy's definition of hazing is partic­
ularly ridiculous.

As if state law didn't already include every 
possible form of hazing, the new policy specifi­
cally prohibits "quests, treasure hunts, scav­
enger hunts, road trips and such activities car­
ried on outside or inside the confines of the 
chap ter h o u se ." AISD secon d -grad ers are 
allowed to participate in egg hunts, both on 
and off AISD property.

One social fraternity has already fallen vic­
tim to the FIPG rules. Pi Kappa Phi, which 
adopted the rules in fall of 1989, went from the 
fastest-growing UT fraternity to endangered 
species status this spring. Alumni blamed the 
FIPG rules for a drop in morale, which led to a 
dramatic reduction in membership.

This semester, other national organizations

are giving their local chapters no choice about 
ju m p in g on the w agon. One recen t le tter 
addressed to a UT fraternity said, "You are, of 
course, instructed to vote in favor of adopting 
the FIPG Risk Management Policy. The motion 
is not to be amended."

Fraternities that w on't kowtow will most 
likely have theh charters revoked. Fraternities 
that do buckle will become subject to random 
party inspections by police, UT officials and 
Interfratemity Council stoolies.

P olicy v io lato rs, of w hich there w ill be 
many, will face community service require­
ments and possible expulsions. Greeks will 
predictably conjure new means of circumvent­
ing the rules. Normally, we should expect pub­
lic outcry for such rule-breaking.

But when word breaks out of the patent 
absurdity of these changes, the Greeks may 
gain unprecedented public sympathy.

Efficiency would give B ill's

TEXAN COLUMNIST

have begun, let no one reg­
ister surprise at all the talk 
of raising taxes. We knew that was 
going to happen as soon as we 
decided to vote for the "m an from 
Hope."

W hen the A m erican p eop le 
opted for "change," we also knew 
what "investm ent" meant. But let's 
be sure that the president's defini­
tions of his two favorite words still 
jibe with ours.

An important case in point: the 
su g g estio n of an "e n e r g y t a x " 
announced recently by Treasury 
Secretary Lloyd Bentsen. From a 
tactical standpoint, an increase in 
this area is a smart move in com­
bating the deficit.

But, for this v ery reason , the 
White House knows full well who 
will foot the bill. Hiking the price 
of such basic commodities as gaso­
line and heating fuel will hurt mid­
dle America most of all. Of course, 
sacrifice isn't necessarily an evil 
just because it affects the middle 
class. But an energy tax must not 
become a primary means of reduc­
ing the deficit.

Instituting such a tax is bound to 
strike the average commuter as a 
kind of gouging, because he will 
immediately notice a devaluation 
of his fuel-buying dollar without a 
trace of fair return. Perhaps it is 
naive to expect one, anyway.

But the gu id in g p rin cip le of 
Clintonian investm ent — expan­
sion through taxation — ought to 
be that, in areas where these bur­
dens are imposed, the government 
should enjoin the cooperation of 
industry to match the president's 
notion of "shared sacrifice."

“To compensate for this 
disproportionate tax, the 
government would need 
to redouble its efforts 
with the auto industry to 
improve efficiency stan­
dards.”

For instance, one must assume 
that a federal energy tax on gaso­
line would becom e a permanent 
fixture that outstrips the rate of 
inflation. To compensate for this 
disproportionate tax, the govern­
ment would need to redouble its 
efforts with the auto industry to 
improve fuel efficiency standards. 
T h ese in creased e ffo rts w ould 
p ro b ab ly n ot equ al those that 
would be necessary if Ross Perot's 
in fam ou s 50 cen ts per gallon 
increase over five years became a 
reality.

A d d itio n a lly , an en ergy tax 
should directly benefit both public 
and private research in new fuel 
and automotive technologies.

After all, this is the end to which 
a revitalized, investment-oriented 
economy should aspire. The gov­
ern m en t's role in this scien tific 
endeavor must become as impor­
tant as that of rejecting our depen­
dence on foreign oil and facing the 
specter of pollution, both of which 
are part of A m erica's industrial 
legacy.

But while these suggestions may

President Clinton virtually ab­
used this term during the cam ­
paign (as non-incum bents often 
do). But now is the time to demon­
strate his commitment. The presi­
dent must — with the leadership of 
our able vice president — move to 
take our co u n try 's oil and auto 
industries to a new level.

It m ay w ell be im p o ssib le to 
transform these behemoths of busi­
ness — nothing so dramatic as a 
Pearl Harbor exists to spur them 
on now.

But paradoxically, corporations 
like Exxon and G eneral M otors 
that helped to build modem Amer­
ica also represent a harmful status 
quo. Their interests lie with a vast 
country that craves mobility, but 
no longer at the expense of efficien­
cy. In assuming a greater responsi­
bility for our planet, the decision to 
retoo l m ach in es and to look to 
underdeveloped fuel sources must 
be more than a mere departure in 
marketing.

The m agnitude of this change 
obscures the possibilities govern­
ment must encourage. But whether 
through regulation and incentive, 
or devastation and reconstruction, 
the issue cannot wait long.

The idea of an energy tax could 
be an im portant m ove in tran s­
forming the transportation indus­
tries. But the concern now must be 
that this tax will simply perpetuate 
America's wastefulness, neglecting 
its p o ten tia l for effectin g real 
change.

Right employs PC selectively
I t's ironic that conservatives — judicial architects 

Tony Martinez
TEXA N COLUMNIST

of the "com m unity standards" constitutional 
doctrine — are now the vanguards of the anti­
political correctness cause, a movement based on an 
erstw hile defense of individual rights. We must 
question whether conservatives have historically 
favored individual rights, and the diversity and tol­
erance this implies, or whether in the current "liber­
al" atmosphere of academia, conservatives are sim­
ply hiding behind the banner of individual rights out 
of sheer expediency and convenience.

In recent years, conservatives have been much 
more likely than liberals to attempt to impose on 
society their own politically correct social or reli­
gious orthodoxy. This trend continues to the present, 
in the midst of conservatives' battles against political 
correctness on college campuses. It's truly amazing 
that today's liberals have done such a poor job of 
exposing this conservative hypocrisy!

It's easy to delineate instances of conservative 
political correctness. Prayer in school is a case in 
point. For almost 30 years, conservatives have sup­
ported a co n stitu tio n a l am endm ent to the U.S. 
Constitution "allow ing" organized prayer in public 
schools. They have also opposed numerous efforts to 
stop organized praying at public school pep rallies 
and football games.

The p rayers that con serv ativ es su pport have 
almost always been Judeo-Christian ones; one won­
ders how " to le r a n t" conservatives would be of 
prayer in school if the prayers w ere not Judeo- 
Christian. Prayer in school is not the only example of 
conservative attempts to impose religious dogma on 
a diverse, pluralistic society. Public display of Judeo- 
Christian religious symbols on government-owned 
p ro p erty is an o th er m a n ifesta tio n . M o reov er, 
Sunday 'blue' laws — which existed in Texas for 
almost 30 years — kept all but a few businesses from 
opening on the Christian "sabbath."

A d d itio n a lly , co n serv a tiv es M el and N orm a 
G abler, of Longview , have tried to indoctrinate 
impressionable young children with the Christian 
version of morality — no premarital sex, homosexu­
ality, abortion or ERA, for example — through lob­
bying of public school textbook publishers. Locally, 
conservatives are now working to make abstinence

and heterosexual m onogam y centerpieces in the 
Austin Independent School District's sex education 
classes.

In the social realm, let's not forget the American 
flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. An embarrassing­
ly large number of conservatives actually supported 
a constitutional amendment outlawing the burning 
of "Old Glory." Current examples of this unfortu­
nate trend include state referenda like Colorado's to 
deny homosexuals full civil rights protection, the 
military's ban on openly-gay persons in the armed 
services, and state sodom y law s — ones w hich 
admittedly are rarely enforced — that criminalize 
homosexual acts.

We can even find instances of conservative politi­
cal correctness here at the University. Last March, 
conservatives supported the removal of an AIDS- 
awareness poster from the private office of a Spanish 
D epartm ent teaching assistan t, a p oster w hich 
explicitly depicted two nude gay men about to 
engage in sexual relations.

Conservatives claimed the flyer was pornographic 
and "insensitive" to heterosexuals' values and sensi­
bilities. Some of these same conservatives earlier 
decried the "hypersensitivity" of minority students 
who lobbied for the removal of the Jefferson Davis 
statue on the South Mall.

Conservative support for the academic value of 
tolerance does not extend to individuals and groups 
not normally associated with conservatism. We must 
expose and correct this conservative duplicity.

Conservatives must leam that they lose credibility 
when they engage in this kind of political and moral 
expediency. A consistent conservative position on 
the fundamental nature of political correctness — 
either pro or con — would be much more intellectu­
ally hon est than th e p rag m a tist one cu rren tly 
employed.

assum e the role of global police­
men, but Americans must recognize 
th at we can n o t clo se our eyes to the 
world's suffering.

We must deal swiftly and wholehearted­
ly w ith the w ar rag in g in the form er 
Yugoslavia.

Ethnic strife between different cultures 
of the region is not new — it dates back to 
Y u goslavia's form ation in 1919 and on 
through the end o f W orld W ar II. 
Communist dictatorship provided tempo­
rary stability during the post-war period, 
but with the Iron C urtain's fall, old ten­
sions have reemerged.

In 1991, four of Y u g o sla v ia 's six 
republics — Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia 
and Bosnia — voted for independence. 
Two other rep u b lics, M o n ten eg ro and 
Serbia, remained in the federation. Shortly 
thereafter, the Yugoslav army, sympathetic

to and dominated by the Serbs, invaded 
Croatia.

The d em ise of com m u nism and the 
development of newly-independent states 
has affected the United States. Undoubt­
edly the world is far more unstable now 
and demands a firm foreign policy. In the 
past fifty years, U.S. leaders followed the 
premise that all foreign policy decisions 
must run contrary to communism.

Without clear signposts to follow, U.S. 
policymakers are grossly mishandling the 
civil war between the Bosnians, Croats and 
Serbs. Bosnia is in dire need of help and 
the United States, as well as the rest of the 
world, must stop the war crimes occurring

The United Nations should concentrate 
on enforcing human rights in addition to 
preventing global warfare. It cannot, for 
exam ple, tolerate ethnic cleansing. Dis­
appointingly, the current U.N. peace pro­
posal will most likely fail because it stands 
in direct opposition to what Serbs want 
most: their own state. This policy failure 
only ensures the continued human rights 
violations.

Intervention was important months ago 
in Yugoslavia, and now it is urgently nec- * 
essary for many reasons.

First, more than 18,000 people have died 
as a result of fighting and the horrendous 
eth nic cleansing. The A m erican m edia 
have provided pictures of the camps in 
which Serbs cpnfine and torture Croatian 
and Bosnian citizens. The world cannot 
allow atrocities like the Holocaust to occur 
again.

They have lost their possessions, land 
and communities which at one time exist­
ed in peace. The Serbs are making every 
effort to destroy the dignity of their ene­
mies as well as deny them survival sup­
plies like food and medicine.

Finally, we have witnessed mass rapes 
of Muslim women who Serbs have forced 
from their homes in Bosnia.

According to Bosnian foreign minister 
Haris Silajdzic, Serbian commanders are 
telling their soldiers to gang rape women 
in the detention camps and sometimes to 
kill the victims.

Rape is always a form of torture, but the 
Serbs are using it against the Bosnians to 
"create" Serbian children. Serbian soldiers 
are seeking to destroy a facet of a culture 
which demands the virginity of its women

The world coalition that united in the 
G u lf W ar, under the lead ersh ip of the 
United States, must stop these actions. The 
world must enforce the no-fly zone over 
Bosnia, begin bombing Serbian targets to 
w eaken its infrastru ctu re, increase the 
already dam aging sanctions and airlift 
supplies to the Bosnians.

In sh o rt, the w orld m ust use every 
means available to stop the Serbs from fur­
ther destru ction under their president, 
Slobodan Milosevic.

There may be no way around a civil war 
in w hat was once Y u g o slav ia, but the 
world community cannot tolerate the daily 
catastrophes in Bosnia. The global commu­
nity must hear the cries of a country tom 
by racism, hatred, violence and a lack of 
respect for life before it is too late.

UNIVERSITY

Bowlers oppose bookstore in Union

Justin Noble
Daily Texan Staff

About 30 students turned out Fri­
d a y for th e firs t of fo u r p u b lic 
forum s h eld by th e Texas U nion 
Board of Directors to discuss a pro­
posal to bring in a UT-owned book­
store to replace the Union's bowling 
alley and theater.

Given the num ber of bookstores 
already on G uadalupe Street, many 
questioned the necessity of bringing 
in another one.

" T h ere 's already en o u g h book­
stores on the Drag for the prices to 
be com petitive," said James Boure- 
sa, a UT business senior.

But a bookstore on cam pus would 
m ean lower prices and more money 
for s tu d e n t p ro je c ts, sa id B ruce 
Smith, chairman of the board.

"There w ould be serious m oney

coming back to the students," Smith 
said.

A w holesaler such as the m ulti- 
m illion-dollar corporation Barnes 
an d N oble w o u ld be ab le to cu t 
costs m uch m ore efficiently than a 
company like the University Co-Op 
th a t o w n s o n ly o n e sto re , sa id 
H oward Nirken, Students' Associa­
tion president.
• "If we lower the prices, the book­
stores across the street will low er 
theirs too," Nirken said.

The ex p ected s tu d e n t-d ire c te d 
revenue from the first year of opera­
tio n w o u ld be a t le a st $500,000, 
Smith said.

" T h is p o t of m o n ey c o u ld be 
s p e n t in a n u m b e r of d iffe re n t 
ways," he added.

A m ore stab iliz ed stu d e n t-se r- 
vices fee and possible construction 
of another student union on the East 
side of campus are two plans board-

m em bers said could benefit from 
increased revenue.

One student also asked w hether 
there would be many job losses due 
to the closing of the bowling alley.

A b o o k c o m p a n y w o u ld m o st 

likely hire students, Smith said.

"S tu d e n ts m ake b etter em ploy­
ees," he said. "Students have more 
hours at the beginning of the semes­
te r w h e n b o o k s to re s n e e d m o re 
employees and less hours at the end 
of the sem ester w hen b o o k sto res 
need fewer employees."

The only real loss, according to 

Smith, would be the bowling alley.

However, only 700 people a week 
use the alley, said Ron M artinez, 
m anager of the Union recreational 
center.

"B u t I'm one of those 700 p e o ­
ple," said Erin Steele, a civil engi­
neering freshman. After being at the 
forum , Steele said she understood

" [th e b o a rd 's] re aso n in g b u t m y 
o p in io n h a s n 't ch an g ed any. I'm 
dead set against the bookstore."

"Tearing dow n the bowling alley 
is downright un-American," Boure- 
sa said. "D o n 't tear dow n m y cul­
ture."

The pool hall and arcade w ould 
be m o v ed to a n o th e r p a rt of the 
union.

"But the bowling alley, pool and 
video arcade work as a unit," Mar­
tinez said. "Breaking it up will not 
m aintain the same level of profits."

H ow ever, N irken said w ith rev­
en u es from the recreatio n cen ter 
estim ated at about $100,000 a year 
— compared to $500,000 and $1 mil­
lion a year from a bookstore — stu­
dents cannot afford to pass up the 
opportunity.

"We have one w indow of oppor­
tunity w here w e can m ake m oney 
ourselves," Nirken said.

U T organization modeled on Perot ideas

Meghan Griffiths
Daily Texan Staff

Ross Perot may soon be paying a visit to the 
University and using the University United We 
Stand group as a model campus organization to 
carry out the ideas of his 1992 presidential cam­
paign, Perot said W ednesday night to a member 
of the group on the Larry King Live radio show.

"We need to organize at the UT campus from 
one end to another," he said. "W e're doing this 
for the American generation."

Representatives from the national UWS also 
said Saturday that the University is being consid­
ered as a site for a United States senatorial forum 
that will be held in April.

"We feel that United We Stand can play a very 
key role in th is se n a to ria l ra c e ," said R usty 
Strieker, a UWS operative. "O ur prim ary purpose

is to educate and inform ... in the selection of our 
lawmakers and influence their vote."

The forum is expected to bring candidates for 
Texas' U.S. Senate race to the Bass Concert Hall 
and allow them to discuss pressing issues.

"H e w ants all the students to be involved in 
the governm ent," said Darla Keller, w ho m ade 
the phone call to Perot W ednesday night. "Then 
we'll be able to help people."

The UT g ro u p , w hich is m o d eled afte r the 
national UWS group, is a non-partisan organiza­
tion that will sponsor the forum.

The group, w hich is separate from the Perot 
1992 cam paign organization, w orks to inform 
voters on im portant issues facing the country.

The UT g ro u p is also w o rk in g w ith a UWS 
organization at Ohio State University to "keep in 
to u c h " w ith th e iss u e s th e v a rio u s c a m p u s 
groups are facing, Keller said.

A lthough specific plans have not been deter­

m ined, m oderators for the forum could range 
from stu d en ts to television journalists to Ross 
Perot, said Strieker.

But "I think it would be a mistake for people to 
characterize United We Stand as the Ross Perot 
show," said Jason Powers, a member of UWS and 
form er co-chairman for the UT 1992 Perot cam­
paign. "W e're not here to prom ote his agenda."

Powers, who worked at the Republican nation­
al co n v e n tio n la st su m m e r b efo re becom ing 
involved w ith the Perot group, said UT UWS is 
currently working on regaining the membership 
it had last sem ester d u rin g the cam paign and 
reaching out to the com m unity to inform the vot­
ers.

"We have to prove we as an organization can 

do som ething," he said.

The philosophy of the group, which does not 
appoint a specific leader, he said, is "If you have 
a football, take it and run," Powers said.

Law m akers lack finance plan
Legislators still debating as court deadline approaches

Rebecca Stewart
Daily Texan Staff

Members of the House Public Educa­
tion committee rushed to meet a court- 
ordered deadline for finding a suitable 
m ethod of school finance during a Sat­
urday hearing in which four separate 
funding plans were proposed.

Rep. Libby Linebarger, D-Manchaca, 
called the w eekend m eeting m inutes 
after being appointed to chair the com­
mittee on Friday.

"M y goal is [in] 11 m o re d a y s to 
have a bill out of the House," Linebarg­
er said Friday.

Linebarger is trying to meet a 30-day 
deadline set by Speaker of the H ouse 
Pete Laney. Lawmakers have until Feb. 
20 to approve a proposed constitution­
al am endm ent in time to go on the May 
1 ballot.

Com m ittee m embers heard testimo­
ny on fo u r d iffe re n t school fin an ce 
options during the six-hour hearing.

The School Finance Working Group, 
w hich is com posed of pub lic school 
organizations, proposed a constitution­
al a m e n d m e n t th a t w o u ld le g a liz e 
sh iftin g local p ro p e rty taxes am ong 
school districts.

The plan, which does not yet have a 
legislative sponsor, limits the am ount 
of local taxes the’state can redistribute

to 2.75 percent. According to the plan, 
school districts could m aintain current 
serv ic es w ith $650 m illio n in s ta te 
funding and a 12-cent tax increase over 
the next two years.

However, Rep. Steve Ogden, R-Col- 
lege Station, said the group's proposal 
was $300 m illion m ore than the state 
can fund public schools based on Leg­
islative Budget Board projections. He 
argued that the tax w ould be higher.

"The odd m an out here looks like the 

property taxpayers," Ogden said.

The committee also heard a plan pro­
p osed by L in eb arg er. H er p ro p o sa l 
would require a constitutional am end­
m e n t a n d is b a s e d on a s y s te m of 
recapture.

The proposed am endm ent w ould let 
the state collect m oney from the 5 per­
cent of school districts w ith the highest 
ta x a b le p r o p e r ty p e r s tu d e n t. The 
fu n d s w o u ld th e n be d is tr ib u te d 
among districts w ith low property val­
ues.

The pro posal lim its th e am o u n t of 
money that can be recaptured to about 
$400 million per year. The money could 
be collected through direct recapture in 
which the state collects and distributes 
the funds or through a county system 
similar to the current county education 
districts.

The Texas Suprem e C ourt declared 
the CEDs unconstitutional because the

system levied a statewide property tax 
w ithout voter approval. The court has 
ordered lawmakers to develop a consti­
tu tio n a l p la n by June 1 or h av e the 
state's schools shut down.

A nother plan presented to the com­
m ittee Saturday was approved by the 
S en ate T h u rs d a y . T he p ro p o s e d 
a m en d m e n t, sp o n so red by Sen. Bill 
Ratliff, R-Mount Pleasant, would legal­
ize the CED system by allowing voters 
to authorize a statew ide property tax 
by approving the am endment.

C om m ittee m em bers w ere divided 
over whether the Senate plan would be 
a feasible solution.

" It deserves serio us co nsideration 
because it may be a solution," Ogden 
said.

"I'm not convinced that it answ ers 
the c o u rt's objections of the C ED s," 
said Rep. Paul Sadler, D-Henderson.

The co m m itte e also c o n sid e re d a 
plan by Rep. Dan Kubiak, D-Rockdale. 
His proposal is sim ilar to the Senate 
plan, but would limit CED tax rates to 
90 cents per $100 per assessed valua­
tion. Ratliff's plan allows for a variable 
tax rate.

Several speakers representing vari­
ou s te a c h e r's o rg a n iz a tio n s d id not 
su p p o rt any of the p la n s p re se n te d 
d u rin g th e h e a rin g . T hey s p o k e in 
favor of a statewide income tax to fund 
public education.

C ou rt security system im proved

Steve Scheibel
Daily Texan Staff

When Travis County Judge Bill Aleshire was pushing for a 
better security system for the Travis County Courthouse last 
sum m er, m any people questioned whether the m oney was 
being well spent.

However, after two recent shootings in the Dallas County 
and Tarrant County courthouses, Aleshire said his doubters 
are much less vocal.

"I h a v e n 't h ea rd any com plaints since the sh o o tin g s," 

Aleshire said Friday.

Aleshire said the security changes were m ade at the court­
house last sum m er because m any court em ployees w ere 
"concerned and afraid," even before the shootings, w ith the 
existing security measures.

With the new system, Sheriff Terry Keel said, the Sheriff's 
D epartm ent has seized 11 h an d g u n s, several knives and 
m any other w eapons, such as brass knuckles, that people 
have tried to bring into the courthouse.

Keel said that despite the initial success of the new securi­

ty system, it was far from perfect and there was no reason 
the tragedies in Dallas couldn't occur in Austin as well.

"There's no way to be 100 percent certain that nothing will 
ever happen," Keel said. "We don't have enough resources 
to m ake it as secure as it could be."

U nder the new security system, all entrances to the court­
h o u se except for the tw o p rim a ry e n tra n ces h av e been 
sealed, Keel said. X-ray machines and metal detectors have 
been installed at the two remaining entrances.

Sheriff's D epartm ent Captain Gary Cutler said that nine 
officers currently patrol the courthouse: two non-comm is­
sioned officers at each entrance and five commissioned offi­
cers patrolling the courthouse.

Aleshire said the courthouse was a focal point for people 

who m ight hu rt others.

"W e a ttra ct peop le w h o are going th ro u g h en o rm o u s 
stress," A leshire said. "T hey need to be dealt w ith in an 
extraordinary way."

Aleshire said that the changes were m ade in response to 
general w arnings from D epartm ent of Justice officials and 
from the State Bar of Texas that current security measures at 
some county courthouses m ight be inadequate.

Delco passed over 
for pro-tem spot

Rebecca Stewart
Daily Texan Staff

Speaker of the H ouse Pete 
Laney has doled out assignments 
for 31 House committees, surpris­
ing some and disappointing other.

One disappointm ent came to 
Rep. Wilhelmina Delco, D-Austin. 
She was replaced by Rep. Tom 
Uher, D-Bay City, as speaker pro 
tem pore. Delco was the first 
woman to hold the position in the 
histo ry of the H ouse, serving 
under former Speaker Gib Lewis.

"I had wanted to be speaker pro 
tern again, but it's [Laney's] perog- 
ative to choose/' Delco said.

Delco said the speaker pro tern 
serves as a confidant of the speak­
er and said that Laney was proba­
bly more comfortable with Uher.

D elco, how ever, w as nam ed 
chairwoman of the General Inves­
tigating Com m ittee, vice chair­
woman of the Corrections Com­
mittee and a member of the High­
er Education Committee.

''I see this as a great challenge, 
and I'll be working with the new 
ethics adviser," as chairwoman of 
the General Investigating Commit­
tee, Delco said.

Delco said some members of the 

Austin delegation would have 
preferred different assignments to 
prevent overlapping.

Eco-Fair emphasizes composting, recycling

Bethany Matz
Daily Texan Staff

Texas Land C om m issioner G arry M auro 
kicked off the third annual Eco-Fair Friday with a 
shovelful of compost, symbolizing recycling as a 
means to reduce farm and urban waste.

In an age of shrinking landfill space, the envi­
ronmental conference has chosen 1993 as the year 
to focus on composting as a means of recycling 
and waste management.

The two-day event at the Austin Convention 
C enter featured over 25 w orkshops and 125 
booths as businesspeople, government agencies 
and environmental groups promoted recycling 
and waste management.

In his opening speech, Mauro proposed exten­

sive composting to curtail solid waste.

"N ature doesn't waste anything but we do 
because we're inefficient. But we can learn," he
added.

Other speakers included Texas Water Commis­
sioner John Hall; Mike McGrath, editor-in-chief 
of Organic Gardening; and Phil C allahan, an 
expert on the effects of the electromagnetic spec­
trum on plants and animals.

Former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim 
Hightower, a longtime proponent of sustainable 
agriculture, also addressed the conference.

Mark Mayer, a marketing representative from 
the Texas Land Office, said that the conference 
went well.

"It's been a tremendous success. The private 
and public sectors have united to raise public 
awareness about protecting our environment," 
Mayer said.

Exhibitors from all over the country offered

hands-on demonstrations of their products and 
technologies. A roundtable of private farmers 
discussed the role of humates in soil condition­
ing, while Fletcher Simms of Simcorp displayed 
small-scale farming composting techniques.

But the displays were not limited to farming 
and soil treatment. Noted authors Barbara Dam- 
rosch and Lucinda Hutson spoke on herbs and 
cooking and representatives from Whole Foods 
Market and Wheatsville Co-op offered samples 
of their organic produce. Rosa Finsley, a native 
plant expert of Kings Creek G ardens, talked 
about biodiversity and natural plant landscaping 
in central Texas.

Troy Davis of White Egret Farm brought his 

goat to promote naturally raised agriculture.

"Our animals are fed grains and grasses on a 
local farm . You w o n 't find any horm ones or 
antibiotics in our beef," he said.

College harassment bill referred to subcommittee

Nathan E. Wheeler
Daily Texan Staff

A bill introduced by state Rep. 
Ron Wilson, D-Houston, targeting 
racial and sexual harassm en t 
involving Texas universities, will 
soon be sent to a subcommittee, an 
assistant to Wilson said Friday.

Under the bill, campus organiza­
tions found guilty of racial or sexual 
harassm ent w ould be suspended 
from using university property for

three years.

Incidents of sexual harassm ent 
and racially offensive conduct will 
be determ ined by the governing 
body of the school where the inci­
dents take place, said Eric Glenn, 
legislative assistant to Wilson.

"I believe that the wording in the 
bill says that actions or words that 
would offend a reasonable person" 
w ould be considered offensive, 
Glenn said, adding that racial slurs 
would be examples of offensive con­
duct. "Some of it is very blatant."

The bill was filed in late Decem­
ber, after twd incidents were report­
ed at Texas A&M U niversity and 
Texas Tech U niversity. An A&M 
fraternity had a "jungle party" in 
which members dressed up as black 
slaves, and a Tech fraternity had 
tw o m em bers dressed as blacks 
kneeling 
to a n o th e r m em ber 
dressed as a KKK Grand Dragon.

If the bill is passed, it would be 

put into effect by Sept. 1.

S tudent organizations, faculty, 
administrators and individual stu­

dents w ould be held responsible 
under the bill, which would apply 
to incidents occurring on the organi­
zation's property or at a sponsored 
event.

"That's going to be left up to the 
determination of the board in terms 
of w hat's reasonable," Glenn said. 
"I have this rule that I try to live by; 
If it doesn't feel right, d o n't do it 
before you say something. All too 
often, some people have just aban­
doned th at little ability to check 
themselves."

Rusalka will be performed for the first time at the 
M etropolitan Opera next season.

The company will open its 30-week season on

O ther operas receiving new productions are 
Britten's Death in Venice and V erdi's Otello, the 
company announced Wednesday.

Stiffelio will premiere on Oct. 28, conducted by 
Met artistic director James Levine and starring 
Dom ingo, soprano Sharon Sweet and baritone

THE YELLOW BOAT

David Saar wrote the play The Yellow Boat as a w ay to remember his 
young and vibrant son Benjamin, who died of AIDS in 1987 at the age of
8.

The play takes its name from a drawing Benjamin often painted for his 
parents. The painting is based on a N orw egian folk tale Benjam in's 
mother often told him. The story itself is concerned with three boats. The 
blue boat, according to the story, was the one that always returns to 
port. The red boat also sails hom e. The yellow boat is the boat that 
always sailed to the sun. Benjamin finished his bedtim e ritual by saying, 
"I am the yellow boat."

The draw ing of the yellow boat became a vehicle for Benjamin, allow­

ing him to express his own inner thoughts w ith hope and humor.

"This is not an AIDS play," says noted playw right and UT professor 
Suzan Zeder. "It's definitely an affirm ative w ork w hich follow Ben­
jam in's very positive life and the work he created."

The second performance of the play at the University will take place 
M onday at 7 p.m. in the McCullough Theatre. After the performance, the 
Metro Theatre Company of St. Louis will take the play on tour for two 
years.

After M onday's performance, there will be a special symposium deal­
ing w ith the issues raised by the play. The session will feature Joy Gold- 
berger, a child life specialists from the Johns Hopkins Institute, and rep­
resentatives from AIDS Services of Austin, the Pediatric AIDS League, 
Brackenridge Hospital and other members of the medical community.

John Goodman spoofs horror (licks 
in Dante’s light-hearted ‘Matinee’

New film portrays youthful innocence and terror o f life in 1960s America

Michael Zey
D aily T e x a n Staff

FIL M

M a n y o f you 
film -buffs have 
heard of W illi­
am C astle. He 
may not be as 
re co g ­
w idely 
nized as som e­
one like Alfred 
H itch co ck , but 
am ong 
film 
sch olars, he is 
just as notorious. 
C astle was a film prod ucer who 
made very cheesy horror movies, 
and would then decorate them with 
several colorful gim m icks. In his 
film The House on Haunted Hill, he 
introduced a new process called 
Emergo. During a key scene in the 
film, an inflatable skeleton would 
come flying out into the theater, 
su spended by w ire, o v er the 
screaming audience's heads. It did 
not so m uch scare little boys as 
inspire them to pull out their sling­
shots, but it did make a m onster 
movie matinee that much more fun.
Lawrence Woolsey (John Good­
man) is no William Castle. But he 
does have a few’ schlocky tricks up 
his sleeves. Woolsey's new movie, 
Mant, as he announces during the 
trailer with dread in his voice, is 
filmed in Atomo-Vision and Rum- 
ble-Rama. Which, in reality, is noth­
ing more than joy buzzers on the 
seats and large speakers with too 
much bass.

But these effects, as cheesy as 
they are, add to the enjoyment of 
the film.

That is what Joe Dante's new film 
M atinee is all about; having fun at 
the monster movies. The movie, set 
in Florida during the Cuban missile 
crisis, revolves around a group of 
adolescents and the theater they 
visit frequently.

The main character, Gene Loomis 
(Simon Fenton), is the new kid in 
town whose father is a Navy man 
involved in the Cuban blockade. He 
is a major monster movie buff who 
idolizes Woolsey. When the two of 
them meet, there is an instant rap­
port. He also develops a crush on 
the rebellious Sandra (Lisa Jakub).

H is frien d , Stan (O m ri K atz), 
lo ves to brag ab ou t h is sexu al

Master of horror Lawrence Woolsey (John Goodman) explains to young Gene (Simon Fenton) the secret of 
making movies in “Atomo-Vision” in Joe Dante s new comedy Matinee.

Lawrence Woolsey (John Goodman) is no William 
Castle. But he does have a few schlocky tricks up 
his sleeves. Woolsey’s new movie, Mant, as he 
announces during the trailer with dread in his voice, 
is filmed in Atomo-Vision and Rumble-Rama. Which, 
in reality, is nothing more than joy buzzers on the 
seats and large speakers with too much bass.

escap ad es, but in truth , he goes 
weak-kneed whenever he's in the 
presence of the cute Sherry (Kellie 
Martin) and he trembles when he's 
threatened by her ex-boyfriend Har­
vey (James Villemaire). Stan, Gene 
and th eir frien d s use the cheap 
scares they get from watching mon­
ster movies to replace the real fears 
of everyday life.

Matinee has no main plot. Rather, 
it serves as a nostalgia piece, much 
like A m erican G raffiti, painting a 
number of small, humorous stories. 
It's also about what going to the 
movies meant to young boys and 
girls back then, sort of like an Amer­
ican version of Cmema Paradiso.

The beauty of this film lies in the 
fact that it's very campy and light­
hearted. It's as fun and innocuous as 
the m ovies that W oolsey show s.

Even topics such as the fear of an 
atomic war are treated colorfully. 
O nly one scen e, w hen S h e rry 's 
delinquent ex pulls a knife on her, 
does the story get a little too grim 
for its own good.

Though Goodman is wonderfully 
boisterous as the eccentric Woolsey, 
who comes down to Florida with 
M ant in tow, it's Cathy M oriarty 
who steals the show as his long-suf­
ferin g g ir lfr ie n d /le a d in g lad y. 
O th er com ic h ig h lig h ts in clu d e 
Robert Picardo as the paranoid the­
ater manager, and Dick Miller and 
John Sayles as a pair of con artists. 
Teen-age actors Fenton and Katz 
come across as funny and likable.

The real trium ph of M atinee is 
Woolsey's Mant. It stands as a won­
derful spoof of the m ovies of the 
era. Filmed in a grainy black and

w hite, it's filled with corny d ia ­
logue, ham acting and obnoxious 
background music. One might com­
plain that the special effects are too 
good for a film of this magnitude, 
but that's probably being too nit- 
picky.

It has been a while since there has 
been a film as flat-out enjoyable as 
M atin ee. A fter w eeks o f O scar- 
wannabees, it's refreshing to see a 
movie existing solely for entertain­
m ent v alu e. D o n 't ex p e ct to be 
moved by life-and-death struggles 
or be blown away by powerhouse 
performance. And don't expect to 
be able to take the sm ile off your 
face for at least a few hours.

M atinee m ay n ot be unique, as 
were the many brainless gimmicks 
that William Castle was famous for, 
but it certainly is a great substitute.

UT film student takes 
Sundance film award

Eric Rasmussen
Daily Texan Staff

UT film student Robert Rodri­
guez grabbed the audience award 
in d ram atic com p etition at the 
Sundance Film Festival in Park 
City, Utah, on Saturday night with 
his actio n p ictu re El M ariach i. 
Rodriguez shot the action film in 
Acuña, Mexico, during the sum ­
mer of 1991 for $7,500.

The 15-year-old Sundance Festi­
val, brainchild of actor /filmmaker 
Robert R edford , is the prem ier 
U.S. competition for independent 
films, with a focus on artistic merit 
rather than com m ercial success. 
The festival's juries are made up of 
critics and filmmakers.

C olu m bia M otion P ictu res 
signed the 23-year-old Rodriguez 
last April after bidding with Dis­
ney Studios and Paramount for his 
screenw riting and directing tal­
ents.

"H e's the hardest working stu­
dent I ever had," radio-television- 
film instructor Steve Mims, who 
tau gh t R od rigu ez in two film 
courses at the University. "He has 
a natural gift for telling stories 
with pictures. He's also got a great 
personality; he's a really nice guy. 
He deserves this."

Thus 

fa r, C olu m bia had 
screened El M ariachi only at the 
Telluride Film festival in Colorado 
and at several test-market screen­
ings in cities like Los Angeles. The 
film is slated to open in lim ited 
release Feb. 26 in six cities, includ­
ing Austin.

Rodriguez's signing with Co­
lum bia m ade the front page of 
Daily Variety last April, after the 
three studios had wooed him with 
d iffe re n t sc rip ts, p ro jects and 
m oney o ffers. The film m aker 
found an im portant m essenger 
and a lly in the I.C .M . talen t 
agency, the Hollywood behemoth 
th at h an d les su ch talen ts as 
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ter­
minator 2: Judgement Day director 
Jam es Cam eron. Rodriguez had 
left the film w ith I.C .M . on an 
impulse, actually intending to sell 
his work to Mexican home video 
through Los Angeles.

H is film m ak in g m ethod has 
been as much the subject of fan-

fare as El M ariachi itself. A fter 
spending a month in a m edical 
research ward, being tested for a 
ch o lestero l-red u cin g drug, the 
filmmaker put his money together 
with a cto r/c o -p ro d u c e r C arlos 
Gallardo and the two traveled to 
Acuña. Using mostly non-actors 
(including one new friend from 
the research w ard), R od rigu ez 
shot all the scenes in one take.

"It's important that you learn to 
previsualize like that," Rodriguez 
said. " I f I had shot ev eryth in g 
tw ice, my b u d g et w ould have 
doubled."

"I think what makes Robert dif­
ferent is that he does his hom e­
w o rk ," said Mims. "H e used to 
shoot video versions of his films, 
do it over and over until he decid­
ed it was w hat he w anted, and 
then he would shoot it on film ."

Rodriguez used a w ild-m otor 
camera when shooting El Mariachi, 
a noisy co n trap tio n that m ade 
recording sound onto film impos­
sible. R ather than du b b in g, he 
m ade the acto rs re-read th eir 
scenes into a tape recorder, figur­
ing that the natural rhythm of the 
audio and the visual would come 
together.

Rodriguez, who still lives in his 
80 0 -sq u a re-fo o t ap artm en t in 
south Austin, has recently gone 
back to Mexico to find locations 
for a big-budget sequel to the first 
El Mariachi. Though he has stayed 
out of school since leaving to enter 
the research ward, he decided to 
come back to the University this 
spring and take the few hours he 
had left to graduate.

" I think it's important to have 
an education," he said. " I don't 
w ant little kid s th in k in g they 
should drop out of school, saying, 
'Well, that guy didn't have to go 
to school to make it.' "

Though he frequently visits Los 
Angeles and has been making con­
nections with everyone from Jean 
Claude Van Damme to Reservoir 
Dogs director Quentin Tarrantino, 
Rodriguez has no current plans to 
leave Austin.

"Columbia wants me to stay in 
my artistic en v iro n m en t," said 
Rodriguez. "A n d I get so much 
more done here. It's just where my 
roots are. Get me back to the forest 
and my paint."

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Bill Clinton's 
presidency is sweet music to one 
tiny niche of the nation's economy 
—- businesses that sell saxophones.

Clinton made new political music 
when he played on Arsenio Hall's 
late-night television show during 
the campaign. He wailed on it again 
at the inaugural balls on his first 
night as president.

The h ig h -p ro file exposure has 
brought new interest in the curva­
ceou s w oodw ind 
invented by 
Belgian Adolphe Sax 153 years ago.

"Since [Clinton's] initial appear­
ance on television, we've probably 
had a 15 to 20 percent increase in 
sales," said Ken Yoho, a sales repre­
sentative for Boosey & Hawks, a 
major sax manufacturer.

" W e 'v e had m ore calls [from ] 
new students this past week than in 
any other week I can rem em ber," 
said Alice Pennington, who directs 
m u sic cla sses for D ale M usic in 
S ilv e r Sp rin g , Md. And at last 
w e e k 's N ation al A sso ciatio n of 
Music Merchants' trade show, retail 
orders of saxes increased, said Jerry 
Derloshon, the group's spokesman.

"The whole picture is that there's 
an increased interest, which is trans­

lated into retail dollars," Derloshon 
said. He didn't have exact figures.

Some music store managers said 
while the new president's sax mania 
has yet to bring sig n ifican t new 
sales, it can't help but popularize 
the instrument as time goes on.

"H e's not doing nothing for my 
business right now, but he just got 
in office," said Herbert Anderson, 
ow n er of H ason M u sic in Los 
Angeles.

Bob M assim in o, co -ow n er of 
Massimino Music in Fraser, Mich., 
said he's received a few additional 
inquiries about lessons, but that 
actu al ren tals and en ro llm en t 
haven't increased.

But Bill McFarlin, executive direc­
tor of the International Association 
of Jazz Educators, said the heavy 
sax presence during inaugural week 
and C linton's love for the instru­
ment will definitely boost the art 
form. McFarlin said he anticipates a 
marked rise in enrollment in college 
jazz classes over the next year.

The popularity of the saxophone 
has been increasing for a number of 
years, thanks to the success of pop 
sax o p h o n ist K enny G and rock 
groups featuring the instrument.

Geraldine Willis, owner of Willis 
M usic in C hesterfield Tow nship, 
Mich., said she's seen a spurt in sax-

[before Clinton]," she said.

According to industry estimates, 
w orld saxop ho ne sales rou gh ly 
doubled from 200,000 instruments 
to more than 400,000 in the last five 
years.

And Clinton is likely to keep the 

trend going.

"W hether saxophone music per 
se will have some kind of renais­
san ce rem ains to be s e e n ," said 
Quint Davis, who produced C lin­
ton's inaugural musical festival on 
the National Mall.

" W h a t's im p o rtan t is th at we 
have a p resid en t th at p lays the 
blues and rhythm and blues and 
jazz," he said. "It will cause a focus

500 years ago, doing business globally was a simple thing. 
All you had to do was navigate uncharted waters, watch 
out for sea dragons and hope to not sail off the end of 
the earth.

Today, it’s a bit more complicated. If you know what you 
want but aren’t sure how to get there why 
not let Sprint chart a career for you.

As part of a Fortune 200 company 
with sales over $8 billion, we’ve 
navigated our way to the 

edge of today5s Information 

Services world. Why don’t

"They shot the lights out against 
our matchup zone," Penders said. 
"I really didn't want to go with it, 
but we had no choice. Usually when 
you stay in a zone, you stay out of 
foul trouble. We couldn't do that 
tonight."

Coupled with SMU's victory over 
Houston Saturday night, the Owls 
rem ain tied for first place in the 
SWC with the Mustangs. The Owls 
will be tested immediately, though, 
facing the Cougars Tuesday night at 
Hofheinz Pavilion and then travel­
ing to Dallas Saturday to face SMU.

Already short-handed because of 
w ell-ch ron icled acad em ic and

day w ithout several key starters 
because of foul trouble.

while Terrence Rencher, Tony Wat­

Rice center Brent Scott dominated 
with a game-high 27 points and 14

overpowered the Longhorns' con­

"In the past, Texas' pressure has

Texas, who improved its record to

Alumni rocked
by Varsity, 9-3

Jaso n Lovelace
Daily Texan Staff

In what has become a tradition 
of sorts, it's fitting that Satu r­
day's ninth annual Texas Varsi- 
ty-Alumni baseball game began 
with Red Sox ace Roger Clemens 
tossing the first pitch behind the 
head of half-serious, half-terri­
fied Longhorn leadoff batter Jeff 
Conway.

In a perform an ce he w ould 
n o rm ally reserv e for g a m es 
involving the Oklahom a Soon- 
ers, Peter G ardere turned in a 
very non-traditional, but eerily 
fitting performance for the Long­
horn Varsity baseball team, key­
ing them to a 9-3 drubbing of the 
Alumni Saturday.

The senior from Houston Lee, 
returning after a five-year sab ­
batical from baseball, collected 
three hits and scored three runs 
in his collegiate baseball debut. 
G ard ere le ad an attack that 
reached 13 Alumni pitchers for 
13 hits, including two doubles 
and 
trip le s. G ard ere 
accounted for one of the three- 
baggers.

three 

Equally as impressive was the 
perform an ce of the V a rsity 's 
pitching staff, which limited the 
pros to six hits, while striking

out nine. Freshm an J.D. Sm art 
earned the victory, pitching the 
fourth inning and whiffing three 
T ex a s-ex es, C lay K in g , C h ris 
Abbe and Roger Luce, while sur­
rendering only one hit.

Longhorn pitching coach Mark 
Brewer praised the performance 
o f h is en tire sta ff, sa y in g he 
couldn't have been happier.

"T h e y h an d led th em selv es 
very well, considering who they 
were playing against and that it 
w as their first o u tin g of the 
y e a r," Brewer said. " I think it 
sa y s really good thin gs about 
where our team is going."

G ood pitching asid e, it w as 
G ard ere's show , as the senior 
returned to the baseball limelight 
with a flourish.

Playing left field and batting 
lead-off, G ardere drew hearty 
ch eers from the 5,22 1 fan s in 
attendance in his opening at-bat, 
and the applause grew progres­
sively louder with each follow­
ing plate appearance.

"Gardere was hands down the 
player of the gam e," head coach 
C liff G ustafson said . " I never 
w ould have dream ed a player 
could stay away from the game 
for five years and hit like he did.
I guess it goes back to the theory 
that hitting is natural. You either 
have it or you don't."

Third time not charm for Bills

Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. — For Jim Kelly, it all 

boiled down to one word: "Why?"

His knee swollen and sore, Kelly gingerly 
stepped up to a makeshift lectern, bracing him­
self on a security guard who held his crutches.

He asked a question no one could answer: 

"Why did we deserve to lose today?"

Knocked out of the game with 6:52 left in the 
second quarter when linebacker Ken Norton Jr. 
rolled onto his right knee, Kelly knew immedi­
ately he would not get a chance to avenge the 
Buffalo Bills' last two Super Bowl losses.

It was the same knee that Houston Oiler defen­
sive end Ray Childress rolled onto in Buffalo's 
season finale, causing a sprain that kept Kelly out 
of the Bills first two playoff games.

"It was the same thing that happened against 
H o u sto n ," he said. "A guy fell on it and it 
popped."

Just like that, Kelly was finished for the day. 
There would be no chance to make people forget 
Super Bowls past. He now must live with the sad 
numbers: 50-for-95, with only two touchdowns 
and six interceptions in his three Super Bowls.

He insisted he didn't care about his ignomin­

ious place in football history.

"W e'v e m ade it three tim e s," Kelly said.

"There's a lot of teams that never made it once."

Kelly said he was "proud to be the quarterback
to lead this team in three Super Bowls. We 
haven't won yet, but we still have a lot to hang 
our hats on."

Even when he was in there, Kelly came up flat.
He completed 4 of 7 passes for 82 yards, but 
more importantly, he threw two interceptions 
and lost a fumble — a big fumble.

After dropping back to pass with 1:21 left in 
the first quarter, Kelly coughed up the ball as he 
was blind-sided by Charles Haley at his own 2.

The ball bounced right into defensive lineman 
Jimmie Jones' hands, and Jones stepped into the 
end zone to make it 14-7.

Cowboys send Wannstedt off happy

Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. — The Dallas 
Cowboys gave defensive coordina­
tor Dave W annstedt the ultimate 
goodbye present, a Super Bowl ring 
to wear to Chicago.

The C ow boys fashioned their 
first Super Bowl victory in 15 years 
w ith a record nine turnovers by 
their no-name, big-play defense.

"I can leave for the Bears know­
ing my job is complete," Wannstedt 
said. "I can leave with a good feel­
ing know ing that everything we 
worked for the last four years paid 
off. As young as these Cowboys are 
they will be on top a long time."
The N FL's youngest 

team 
knocked out Jim Kelly, saved one 
touchdown with an end zone inter­
ception on a b rillia n t goal-line 
stand, and caused turnovers that 
produced four scores in Sunday's 
52-17 rout of the Buffalo Bills.

" O u r y o u th 

show ed u p ," 
W annstedt said. "We knew we'd 
have to take the ball away from 
them to win and we did it. It was 
an even gam e except for those 
turnovers."

Wannstedt's masterpiece includ­
ed a bit of mind-reading of the Buf­
falo offense on a fourth-and-1 call 
with the Bills trailing just 14-7.

W an n sted t figured the Bills 
would pass from the 1 and he sent 
in an extra defensive back. Wannst­
edt was correct and the confused 
Kelly served up an interception to 
Thomas Everett.

Dallas defensive end Jimmie Jones recovers a fumble for a TD.

JJ makes key play

Former Hurricane gives Dallas momentum

Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. — Jimmie 
Jones, one of Jimmy Johnson's 
former Miami Hurricanes, high- 
stepped into the end zone with 
the to u ch d o w n th a t gave the 
D allas C ow boys a lead they 
never lost Sunday.

T h a t's Jim m ie Jones — not 
Emmitt Smith, not Michael Irvin.
It was late in the first quarter 
w hen Jones recovered Jim 
K elly's fum ble in m id-air and 
p ran c e d 2 yard s for a to u c h ­
down. That gave the Cowboys a 
14-7 lead and they w ent on to 
rout the Buffalo Bills 52-17.

The Cowboys tied the game 7- 
7 late in the first quarter on a 23- 
yard pass from Troy Aikman to 
Jay Novacek. Dallas kicked off, 
and the Bills w ere p en alized 
back to their own 10-yard line 
because of an illegal block by 
Mark Maddox.

On first dow n, Kelly faded 
bade to pass. He was hit from the 
blind side by Charles Haley, the 
ball popped loose, hit D allas' 
Leon Lett in the helmet and rico­
cheted to Jones at the 2-yard line.
Without hesitation, the 6-foot- 
4, 276-pound third-year backup 
defensive lineman bounded into 
the end zone, 15 seconds after 
Novacek's TD.

SUPER SLAUGHTER
Cowboys 
pay Bills 
52-17 loss

Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. — It was quicker than 

anyone could imagine.

Three seasons ago, the Dallas Cowboys 
were the worst team in NFL history. Now 
they're Super Bowl champions and they did 
it with four of the quickest touchdowns ever.
That left the Buffalo Bills as the first team 
to lose three straight Super Bowls and the 
N FC 's suprem acy intact — nine straig h t 
NFL titles, seven in overwhelming fashion, 
this time 52-17.

W ith MVP Troy Aikm an throw ing for 
four touchdow ns and C harles H aley and 
Ken Norton leading a defense that forced a 
record nine turnovers, the Cowboys scored 
two touchdowns 15 seconds apart in the first 
period of Su n d ay's Super Bowl and two 
more 18 seconds apart in the second.

"Our defense is somebody now," Norton 
said of a unit that had no Pro Bowlers to six 
for Dallas' offense. "Everybody knows who 
we are."

Along with Aikman, the defense was the 
factor that made Buffalo the first team to 
lose three straight Super Bowls after becom­
ing just the second team to m ake it three 
straight times.

"You always wonder why, why us?" said 
Buffalo quarterback Jim K elly, who was 
knocked out of the game with 6:52 in the 
first half when he resprained his right knee. 
"W e turned the ball over nine times and you 
can't beat a college team doing that."

Tw o of A ik m an 's TD p asses w en t to 
Michael Irvin and one each to Jay Novacek 
and Alvin Harper as the NFC East won the 
Super Bowl for the third straight year, a 
record. The three winners were different — 
D a lla s, W ash in g to n and the N ew Y ork 
Giants — but the victim each time was the 
Bills.

"E a rly on, the w hole team was a little 
uptight," said Aikman, who was 22 of 30 for 
273 yards. " I really had to talk myself into 
staying relaxed out there. This is the greatest 
feeling that I've ever had in my life and I 
wish every player could feel it."

There was another first — Jimmy Johnson 
becam e the first coach ever to win both a 
national college title and a Super Bowl. The 
N FL title cam e ju st three years after he 
began his pro coaching career with a 1-15 
record.

It was the Cowboys' third Super Bowl vic­
tory, but their first in 15 years and Johnson 
got his just reward — a dousing by his play­
ers at the two-minute warning that left his 
hairsprayed coiffu re u nch aracteristically 
mussed.

" I played for a national cham pionship 
team , I coached a national cham pionship 
team and I coached a Super Bowl team ," 
Johnson said. "Them 's a common thread in 
all three — quality people who are commit­
ted to do their best."

"N in e turnovers in the gam e and they 
converted five into TD scores," said Buffalo 
coach Marv Levy, "W e picked the wrong 
day to play poorly."

The Cowboys won on both sides of the 
ball. Emmitt Smith, the NFL's leading rush­
er, ran fo r 108 y ard s on 22 ca rrie s and 
becam e the first rushing lead er to win a 
Super Bowl. He was the first to ever play in 
it.

After spotting the Bills an early 7-0 lead 
on a TD set up by a blocked punt, the Cow­
boys turned on the defense, getting five of 
the turnovers in the first half.

James Washington's interception of Kelly 
set up a 23-yard TD pass to Novacek. Fifteen 
seconds later, Haley knocked the ball loose 
from Kelly at the goal line to defensive tack­
le Jimmie Jones, who took two steps into the 
end zone for the score that put the Cowboys 
ahead for good.

"I was reading and reacting just like I was 
supposed to," Jones said. "A ll of a sudden 
Charles hit Kelly and the ball fell right in my 
hands. I couldn't believe it. I hadn't even

Buffalo has Aik-man, breakin’ heart

Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. — For Troy Aikman, 
the setup was almost too perfect, too story­
book even for nearby Hollywood.

Here was the golden boy q u arterb ack 
returning to the place where he played col­
lege football, leading the Dallas Cowboys, 
America's team, in the Super Bowl, Ameri­
ca's game.

Of course he was the MVP. How could he 

not have been?

"This gam e m eant everything to m e ," 
Aikman said after leading Dallas to a 52-17 
rout of Buffalo with four touchdown passes.

It s a tremendous amount of weight off 
my shoulders. No matter what happens for 
the rest of my career, at least I can say I took 
my team to a Super Bowl and I was able to

Bowl.

win.

Playing in the Rose Bowl where he starred 
with UCLA, Aikman had a field day on his 
favorite field. He threw three first half touch­
downs, two within 18 seconds, to break the 
game open.

Then he completed the virtuoso perfor­
m ance w ith a 45-yard TD pass to A lvin 
Harper. He finished the game completing 22 
of 30 attem pts for 273 yards. In his three 
playoff games this season, Aikman threw for 
eight touchdowns and no interceptions.

It was the kind of day every UCLA quar­
terback dreams about having in the Rose

" I didn't draw parallels w ith the Rose 
Bowl," Aikman said. "It was nice to be back 
and p ra ctice at UCLA and to play here 
where I played in college. In college, I was 
not able to win a Rose Bowl. It was some­
thing I always wanted."

The Super Bowl will make up for it.
A ik m an 's first TD, a 2 3-y ard er to Jay 

Novacek, tied the score in the first quarter.

Then, as the first half reached the two- 
minute warning, he threw for 18 yards and a 
TD to Michael Irvin. When Dallas intercept­
ed Buffalo on the next series, Aikman made 
the Bills pay for the mistake immediately, 
nailing Irvin again, this time on a 19-yard 
TD pitch.

They started with a lot of two-deep cov­
erage, taking the wideouts aw ay," Aikman 
said. "They forced us to come underneath."

Lady Horns plaster 
Rice, face Vols next

Gene Menez
Daily Texan Staff

The buzz in the Erwin Center Sat­
urday night was the anticipation of 
the big matchup for the No. 13 Lady 
Longhorns.

Texas fans, how ever, w ere not 
talking about that night's contest 
against Rice, but about Tuesday's 
gam e again st rival Tennessee. It 
seem ed the Lady L on gh orn s, as 
well as their fans, paid more atten­
tion to announcer Wally Pryor giv­
ing the score between No. 1 Vander­

bilt and the No. 2 Lady Volunteers 
than to the Owls.

Both UTs won Saturday night — 
Texas defeated Rice 74-61 w hile 
Tennessee edged the Commodores 
73-68 — to set up Tuesday night's 
big contest between the Lady Long­
horns and the should-be No. 1 Lady 
Vols.

Even Rice coach Mike Dunavant 
felt like a spectator than a partici­
pant in the game Saturday night.

" I 'd be the first to adm it that 
maybe they were looking past us a

Owls blow by Texas men
Longhorns run afoul in 101-83 road defeat

M att S ch u lz
Daily Texan Staff

HOUSTON — The refrain is get­
ting tired, but no less true. Texas 
coach Tom Penders is not alone in 
com plaining either, though he is 
clearly the most visible. Let the kids 
play or at least let them decide a 
game for themselves.

In another of the long-running 
series of Southwest Conference free- 
throw shooting contests, four Texas 
players fouled out, three more had 
four fouls and the Owls took only 
three more shots from the field than 
from the line (53 to 50) in winning

101-83 over the Longhorns Saturday 
night at Rice's Autry Court.

But, even with the trem endous 
num ber of free throw s sh ot, the 
game was still not nearly as close as 
the 18-point deficit indicated. The 
Owls (11-5, 5-1 in the SWC) outre- 
bounded the Longhorns (7-8, 1-5), 
47-38. They scored 42 points on 
dunks and layups, and made only 
30 of those 50 free throw s. They 
took only 18 shots from the field, 
m aking 15 of them , en rou te to 
handing Tom Penders his second- 
worst SWC loss ever.

In short, nothing went right for

► Berkeley guy
gets overexposed

Syracuse I has the Carrier Dome and Indiana U. 
has Bobby Knight, but the most famous icon on cam­
pus these days may be U. of California, Berkeley’s 
Andrew Martinez, The Naked Guy.

Martinez has garnered notoriety nationwide by 

protesting conformity in his birthday suit.

“The human body is very beautiful. It’s tragic that 
people see it as ugly and want to conceal it,” says 
Martinez, a Berkeleyjunior.

Between his junior and senior years in high school,
Martinez began to challenge what he calls middle- 
class values that strive for conformity. That challenge 
involved attending class in the buff, wearing nothing 
but a backpack and sandals.

“People are very attached to normalcy, the roles 
we are assigned to through Western-style socializa­
tion,” he says.

M artinez’s nudity was confined to his hom e 
because of the high cost of fines incurred by appear­
ing naked in public, but after a story about him ran 
in The Daily Californian, Berkeley’s student newspa­
p er, in S eptem ber, the rh eto ric m ajor from 
Cupertino, ( alii., became the focus of intense media 
exposure.

On Sept. 30, hordes of journalists turned out at Martinez, aka The Naked Guy, is on a streak, 

the university’s Sproul Plaza, where Martinez led
other local nudist groups in a nude-in. Ever since, Martinez has been a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week nudist, attracting the 
interest of talk shows like The Montel William Show and The Maury Ponhch Show and magazines, including Newsiveek and People, 
which have been attentive to his doctrine.

( )n the homefront, however, Martinez has found little sympathy for his cause. Having spent coundess hours studying the 
legal and moral aspects of nudism, Martinez has warded off the threats of city and university police, faced disapproving 
onlookers and learned how to get used to the weather.

Although he says the laws are vague and ambiguous, public nudism in California is illegal. This has locked Martinez in a 
lengthy conflict with local officials. Since late October, Martinez has been suspended from classes for violadng Berkeley 
Chancellor ( ’Jiang Lin I ien’s edict prohibiting public nudity. Officials say the regulation is not a knee-jerk response to 
Martinez. “The university policy banning public nudity is not stricdy in response to Martinez,” says Pat McBroom, public rela 
relations officer for the university. McBroom was unable to comment on the status of Martinez’s expulsion hearing.

But fhe Naked Guy is undaunted.
I knew that if I pursued my nudity and goal of making nudity legal I would have to be expelled.” ■ Alex Karasik, Daily 

Californian, U. of California, Berkeley

► Fart book is a gas

A fart is the cry o f an im prisoned turd, ” and if you refuse to 

hear its plea and politely hold it in, you could die.

Honestly. A new book ab out flatulation gives the unabashed 

scoop on how to handle gaseous dilemmas.

Two U. o f Michigan professors, Eric S. Rabkin and Eugene M. 
Silverman, took it upon themselves to blow the lid off the subject. 
1 hey wrote a book called It's a Gas: A Study of Flatulence, which con­
tains more inform ation about farts, poop, gas, belches and hic­
cups than the average person ever would want to hear.

I he authors explain how the U.S. catde population could p r o 
vide enough gas to supply the energy needs of New York City, 
Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Detroit. They showcase 
art with themes o f farts and recite literatus who considered flatu­
lence to be a truly poetic topic.

The book, while loaded with valuable medical inform ation, is 
written in a conversational m anner any pottym outh can appreci­
ate. H um or and medical inform ation unite at last in this farter’s 
bible. O ne chapter is all but dedicated to a man whose farts were 
odorless because he inhaled them into his anus. He headlined at 
the Moulin Rouge in Paris, doing less attractive things such as 

► At least it wasn’t 
another Quayle joke

If you say you’re going to kill the president, you’d 

belter m ean it.

Ju st ask Bowling G reen State U. sop hom ore Terry 
Newell. Newell and several friends were sitting around 
their local Taco Bell one m orning last fall when Newell 
allegedly jo ked about killing form er President George 
Bush when he came to Bowling G reen later that after­
noon.

But a security guard on duty at Taco Bell apparently 
d id n ’t find the threat as amusing. He turned Newell in 
and the Ohio student was charged with disorderly con­
duct while intoxicated and thrown in the county jail.

“I was just kidding,” Newell says. “I said, ‘Yeah, I’m 
going to assassinate him when he com es in ’ and the cop 
overheard it and took it seriously.”

Rafael Calzeda, a special agent for the Secret S e rvic e 
in N orthern Ohio, says the guard was obligated to turn 
Newell over to th e a u th o ritie s . “A ny th r e a t m ade 
against the p resid en t of th e U nited States is a viola­
tion,” Calzeda says.

Newell, who pleaded no contest to the charge, tried 
to a tte n d th e p r e s id e n t’s rally la te r th a t day, even 
though the Bowling G reen police an d Secret Service 
agents advised him against it. Newell was escorted off 
th e g ro u n d s by th e S ecret Service sh o rtly a fte r he 
entered the rally area. “[The incident] was ju st a bad 
jo k e that went too fa r,” he says. “I h ad absolutely no 
intention of killing anyone. ■ Eileen McNamara, The

► C’mon, have a heart

I aking care o f a parking ticket proved a meaty bur­
den for a Virginia Tech student alter he removed two 
$5 bills from a half-cooked sheep’s heart to pay his fine.
J R. McMillan, a le c h senior, was sen tenced to 16 
hours of community service for his creative m ethod of 
payment.

“I was try in g to m ak e a p o litic a l s ta t e m e n t,” 
McMillan says. 1 he statem ent was that parking officials 
were heartless.

McMillan wanted to get creative in setding his park­
ing ticket and grabbed the handiest thing in the refrig­
erator. A nd having a pre-vet stu d en t as a room m ate 
paid off when that item was a sheep’s heart. McMillan 
boiled it for a half an hour, stuffed it with two $5 bills 
and took it to the treasury m anagem ent office to pay 
the fine.

He arrived at the office, pulled the cardiac cash carri­
el out of a plastic bag, slit it open, removed the money 
and h anded it to a cashier.
She refused to accept it.
McMillan told her the currency was genuine and in 
good condition and by federal law she had to accept it. 
She responded by calling the police.

Hie law arrived and questioned the sanitary aspect of 
carrying money in a hunk of meat. So McMillan took a 
bite out of the heart and spit it into the bag.“I’ve tasted 
worse, says McMillan, who tasted cuttlefish and blow- 
fish as an exchange student in Japan.

After speaking with police for a short time, McMillan 
left the office with his formerly pulsating purse. A week 
la te r he was c h a rg e d with d iso rd e rly c o n d u c t a n d

putting a flute in him self so he could sing and play music simultaneously.

Rabkin says the idea for the book exploded between them at a New Year s gala 14 years ago. It was com pleted 
in two years, but because o f the fragile subject matter, it took 12 years for the professors to find a publisher. “It is 
[an idea] suppressed in a polite society,” Rabkin says. ■Vicki C ulver, State Press, A rizona State U .

 ► Naptime isn’t 
just for kids

S tudents at two Iowa universi­
ties n e e d n ’t hide in the back of 
the classroom when they feel the 
need for a snooze. In fact, they’re 
encouraged to take naps.

Joseph D. O lander, president of 
Teikyo W estm ar U. an d Teikyo 
Marycrest U., recently requested 
stu d e n ts take tim e o u t o f th e ir 
daily schedules to take a n ap at 
midday.

Sound too good to be true? In 
h is f irs t p r e s id e n tia l m em o 
O la n d e r w rote: “L a tin , A sian,
African and M editerranean peo­
ples have long known w hat con­
te m p o ra ry m edical re sea rc h ers 
have just discovered: naps are very 
good for us. Therefore, I should like to encourage each of 
you, som etim e between 1 p.m . and 2 p.m . every day, to 
take a 10-to 15-minute n ap.”

O lander says h e’s always believed in the spiritual, men­
tal and physical benefits of napping and encourages his 
stud ents to make tim e for a nap ever)' day. “We are all 
chasing all kinds of goals in life... we need to take time but 
o f o u r schedules and if you ca n ’t sleep, you need to at 
least take time out to be still and reflect on yourself for 
awhile,” he says.

But curling up for th at snooze may n o t be a feasible 
option for some students and faculty who say they’re too 
busy to take a nap. “I think everyone thinks it’s a great 
idea, although most haven’t had any tim e to act on it,” 
says J e ff H alterm an, stu d e n t body p re sid e n t at Teikyo

Pennsylvania m an is ju st an o th e r b ro th e r at the Sigma

DuRoss pledged Sigma Phi Epsilon 61 years ago d u r­

stone fraternity house in 1933 
w here he p u rsu ed a degree in 
“fresh air, sunshine, coeds and

But students at Teikyo W estm ar are taking O la n d e r’s 
advice, says Student Body President Tim Krosch. “I think 
it is difficult with som e classes, b u t som e teach ers are 
being really good and letting students have naps if they 
ask.” Students simply ask their professors if they can take 
time for a nap, and some allow it while others just blow off 
the idea, Krosch says.

O ne of his teachers even takes a vote to decide w hether 
en o u g h students w ant a n ap, and a couple o f teachers 
automatically schedule the nap every day, he says.

Krosch takes his n ap every day now and is happy with 

the results.

► The perfect spring 
break for pee-nuts

When my friend Jamie suggested we go somewhere 

for spring break last year, I was aghast.

“We d o n ’t need to go anyw here,” I snapped. “We 
can stay hom e and get drunk. It’s cheaper and besides, 
the smell of Hawaiian Tropic makes my nose bleed.”

“N o,” she argued, “I think we need to travel, a road 
trip, pack up the car, get a carton o f smokes, a bag of 
Funyuns and we’re off. It will do you good.” We were 
going somewhere. “Florida?” she suggested.

“T he Land o f the Lost Senior Citizens? No, thank 

you.”

“Mazatlan?” she offered.
I ju st looked at her. Evidently, she h ad very high 
hopes for this trip, and she was acting as if we both still 
had credit cards that worked. O ne by one, the plastic 
keys to our life of luxury were seized at inopportune 
times, cut up in front of our eyes.

Now we were operating on a cash-only basis, which 
limited o ur options tremendously. It had to be cheap. 
It had to be within a reasonable driving distance. She 
w an ted to be n e a r a b e a c h . T h is left us only o n e 
choice: Rocky Point, Mexico, also known as the poor 
m an’s Mazatlan.

We convinced our friend Staci to join us because she 
had a tent and never went anywhere w ithout 10 packs 
of cigarettes. She also is the strongest girl I know and 
can balance a case of beer on one 
shoulder. She’s a woman, all right. 
We w ould be safe w ith h er. We 
were off.

As so o n as we m a d e it in to 
Rocky Point, Jam ie and Staci head­
ed directly for the beach. As they 
bound into the ocean and played 
in the surf, I was busy in the sand 

building my cabana to shield me from the sun.

T hen the best tiling in the world happened. A litde 
m an a p p e a re d with a b asket o f b u rrito s, a n o th e r 
popped up with a tray of silver jewelry and yet another 
came forth bearing straw hats. It was Mexico’s version 
of the Home Shopping Network, right on the beach. 
B artering still is alive an d thriving in Rocky Point 
because I traded two Pepsis for a silver ring and was 
very proud of myself for making such a deal until two 
weeks later when my finger turned green and swelled 
up like a sausage and my father had to cut the dam n 
ring off with a pair of hedge clippers.

After a while, it became clear to me that I needed to 
use the restroom. I looked around but co uldn’t find 
anything that resem bled one. I walked down toward 
the water where Staci and Jam ie were swimming. I ven­
tured in, getting my ankles wet and then went in u p to 
my knees.

"Hey, you g u y s,” I yelled w hen they w ere close 
enough to hear me, “W here’s the bathroom ?” Staci 
sta rte d to laugh a n d th e n scream ed o u t, “Y o u ’re 
standing in it.”

It seems that the beauty o f going to the beach is not 
the silky, warm sand between your toes, or the splash 
of the surf against the shore, or the shadow o f sea gulls 
flying against a fiery horizon. No, the beauty o f going 
to the beach is that you can piss in the ocean whenever 
you feel like it because, apparently, everyone does it.

No m atter what you’re doing, playing volleyball, get­
ting a tan, buying burritos, you can get up, walk into 
waves and relieve yourself in front of total strangers, 
and it is OK.

 THE LAST CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT?

Activism in the collegiate gay community reaches a new level

M o d e lin g th e ir ta c tic s 
after radical organizations 
like Q u e e r N ation, known 
for its m ilitant shock value 
actions, these students have 
ado p ted what they refer to 
as a n “in -y o u r-fa c e ” a tti­
tude.

F ro m m e, a gay activist, 
organized a Q ueer Campus 
chapter in O ctober 1991 at 
the U. o f Delaware.

“It was g e ttin g to th e 
p o in t w here I was feelin g 
m ore radical measures were 
necessary because the con­
servative ro u te w asn’t get­
ting through,” he says.

T h e id ea b e h in d Q u e e r 
C a m p u s is to “s u p p o r t

selves w h ile a t th e sam e

m e th o d s to h eterosex uals 
a n d 
h o m o p h o b ic s ,” 
Fromm e says.

U. o f D elaw are’s Q u e e r 
Campus organized a benefit 
5K race for AIDS research, 
w here participants dressed 
in drag.

They also post controver­
sial fliers carrying messages 
lik e “Suck d ick , lick cl it, 
hom ophobia’s got to quit," 
and “Homosexuality, a truly 
G re e k tr a d itio n ” w ith an 
accompanying photo of two 
naked m en kissing, with the 
words “My brother can lick 
your brother.”

E ffo rts lik e th e s e have 
e lic ite d v a rie d re sp o n se s 
from heterosexual students. 
Som e claim the tactics are 
ju s t p lain offensive ra th e r 

supports the use of radical measures. “1 think that their 
tactics are good. I think people need to be shocked.” 

Spencer says homosexuals need to make a statem ent to 

the heterosexual community.

“We can do all the things you do; we do n ’t care what you 

think. You will oppress us anyway,” she says.

Even thou gh Q u eer C am pus employs radical tactics, 
Fromme says he believes a conservative side of gay activism 
is needed on campus for balance.

“D efinitely b o th ap p ro ach es are im p o rtan t. We can 
move ahead and push things and they can smooth things 
out.”

O ne of the “theys” who might have to smooth things out 
is Walter Gadecki, vice president of the N ortheastern U. 
Bisexual, Lesbian and Gay Association.

He says the political goals of groups like Q ueer Campus 
differentiate them from cam pus organizations that exist 
for support and awareness. But he supports the message 
radical groups expound.

“You know who they are, d o n ’t you? A lo t o f p eo ple 
think they go too far and offend. But others will say it’s 
Ü
time to be offended.” 

► Affidavit fuels fires
T h e Naval R eserve O fficer T ra in in g C orps has 
stirred up m ore controversy with its decision to make 
m idshipm en repay scholarship money if they refuse 
to sign an affidavit denouncing homosexual behavior 
in the military.

In the wake o f President Bill C linton’s plan to lilt 
the D epartm ent o f Defense policy prohibiting gays 
from the arm ed services, some see this as a vindictive 
m easure against gays and lesbians.

“Now the Navy is m aking gay people pay for the 
Navy’s d isc rim in a tio n ,” says W illiam R u b en stein , 
d ire c to r o f th e A m erican Civil L iberties U n io n ’s 
N a tio n a l L e sb ia n a n d Gay R ig h ts P ro je c t. “I t ’s 
McCarthyism.”

But Lt. Bob G arcia, spokesm an for th e O ffice of 
Navy In fo rm a tio n -W est, says th e clause only was 
im plem ented in an effort to establish a m ethod — sim­
ilar to ones already in use by the Army and Air Force 
— to en su re th a t m id ship m en u n d e rsto o d policies 
regarding homosexuality.

“T he Navy wanted to avoid using NROTC funding 
to train persons who would not be eligible to serve in 
uniform ,” he says.

T h e c o n tro v e rsy b e g a n w h en m id s h ip m e n a t 
Cornell U. objected to the wording of the statem ent 
they were asked to sign. O ne student showed the affi­
davit to a lawyer, who contacted the ACLU.

R u b e n ste in says the p o ten tia lly d isc rim in ato ry 
aspect of the policy has n ot been tested legally, but 
the ACLU has re p re se n te d several stud ents in the 
past and the military has backed down in every case.

Army ROTC cadet Jam es M. H olobaugh was dis­
charged in 1990 and asked to repay his $25,000 schol­
arship funds after publicly adm itting he was homosex­
ual. W hen the ACLU told the Army that Holobaugh 
would com plete his term or refuse to repay scholar­
ship funds he already had received from ROTC, the 
Army forfeited the money.

Lt. Cate Mueller, a spokeswoman for the Navy, says 
students who adm it to being hom osexual after they 
have com pleted the ROTC program will not be asked 
automatically to repay their scholarships. Repayment 
will be considered on a case-by-case basis, she says.

Although Mueller would not speculate on the fate 
of the affidavit, if Clinton lifts the ban, the affidavit 
theoretically becom es ineffective. ■ R honda Stewart,

Tres Fromme (left) and m embers of Queer Cam pus at U. of Delaware express gay pride.

By Michele Humphrey, The Daily Beacon, U. o f Ten

T res F ro m m e , a gay s tu d e n t a t th e U. o f 

Delaware, first came face to face with hetero­
sexism when he was harassed for kissing his 
boyfriend on campus. He wore a T-shirt with 
the word “fag” on it; his friend wore a shirt 
depicting two m en kissing. Two passersby 
began mocking them - harassing them in a stereotypical 

affected gay male voice.

than persuasive.

W hen they called cam pus p olice, F rom m e says the 
responding officer’s attitude was anything but sympathet­
ic. With T-shirts like that — what did they expect? Fromme 
says he was angry.

“I mean what is the difference between that and the frat 
boy who wears a T-shirt a b o u t why b ee r is b e tte r than 
women?” he says.

In an atte m p t to address perceived h o m o p h o b ic cli­
mates on campus, homosexual students like Fromme now 
are taking b o ld er steps to heig h ten th e ir visibility and 
acceptance nationwide. They want to create an environ­
m ent in which images like Harry and Sally are balanced 
with equal representation from Harry and Bob. A nd to 
achieve this parity, homosexuals are using shocking, near­
ly militant tactics and graphic imagery to attract attention.

Association at N ortheastern U., says he does not believe 
these are effective m ethods for confronting the issue.

“A scare tactic will make the hom ophobic not like the 
o rg an izatio n even m ore. If anythin g, scare tactics will 
make homophobics worse,” Dias says.

But h o m o sex u als d o n o t n ecessarily perceive th e ir 
actions as scare tactics or even radical. Students at the U. 
of Nebraska, Lincoln, staged a kiss-in as an awareness activ­
ity but did not consider it to be a radical measure.

“A kiss-in, I m ean w hat are p eo p le d o ing - they are 
d o in g so m eth in g h ete ro se x u a ls do everyday. It really 
should not be that shocking,” says Vanessa Spencer, co­
director of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Student Association 
there.

M ilitant tactics on college campuses also confront het­
erosexism and attem pt to change attitudes about sexual 
o rie n ta tio n s, says A d rian e C a rrie r, p re s id e n t o f Gay, 
Lesbian Bisexual Students U nited at California State I ., 
Long Beach.

Q ueer Nation Long Beach, 95 percent o f which is made 
up o f Cal State students, put up billboards depicting het­
erosexual couples in bed and the slogan: “We d o n ’t care 
what you do in your bedroom s” written underneath.

“Som e students were pissed off b u t th ere were those 

who said, ‘O h, I never thought of it that way,’” she says.

“You also have to have the 
leisure time to say, 4The Dome is 
going to look better as a... t i t ”

S teinberg says th at d u rin g th e years the 
school has form ed a fierce prank-commit­
ting rivalry with Caltech. While Caltechers 
were e n te rin g a M cD onald’s contest 1.2 
m illio n tim e s, M IT u n d e r g r a d s w ere 
inventing new forms of m easurements like 
the Bruno (the indentation caused when a 
piano lands on concrete). W hile Caltech 
pulled the Great Rose Bowl Hoax (chang­
ing the flip-card display to read “Caltech” 
on national television), MIT caused a giant 
weather balloon to burst through the turf 
at the Harvard-Yale football game.

But the times they are a-changin’. That 
smell over at MIT is not the devious burn­
ing o f m id n ig h t oil o f th e T ech n o lo g y 
Hackers Association (the resident “prank 
c lu b ”) b u t o f chem ical reaction s as stu­
d e n ts — gasp — study. “T his is the right 
p lace for p ra n k s ,” says u n d e rg ra d u a te 
Reuven Learner. “If it’d happen anywhere, 
it’d be MIT. But people have been pretty 
boring.”

Steinberg is dismayed by this lack of dev­
ilish dedication. “I think students forget 
that they’re not inventing the w heel,” he 
says. “They d o n ’t have a sense o f tradition, 
of their place in history.”

In Involve a Cow, Steinberg lists six rules 
to pranking. T he sixth rule recom m ends 
the inclusion of a bovine, but most impor­
tantly, the first rule is: “You have to actually 
d o it.”

Remem ber that.
But some pranking lives on as students 
take to campuses with their shenanigans. 
T h e tiny S o u th e rn M in n eso ta town o f 
Northfield proves a veritable treasure trove 
o f trickery. With St. O laf and Carleton, two 
liberal arts schools, situated less than two 
miles across town from each other, the pos­
sibilities for prankishness seem endless.

At St. O laf last May “someone sent a slip 
to all o f the seniors sav ing they were short 
o ne class, and the [registrar’s] office was 
m obbed,” says student Chris Raster.

Registrar John Treoem am ends Raster’s 
story. “Actually only 60 of ou r 720 gradu­
ates received a fake n o tic e ,” he said. “I 
thought it was funny. About half of the 60 
fainted, and then showed up at the regis­
trar’s office in a state of absolute terror....”
Across town at Carleton, pranking is con­
sid e re d ju s t “tak in g care o f b u s in e ss .” 
President Stephen R. Lewis reserved him­
self a place in history with his handling of 
th e d e m a n d s o f a 1991 g ro u p n a m e d 
RAISE — Replace All Institutional Symbols 
with Elvis. After kidnapping the American 
flag and unfurling one bearing The Ring, 
they dem anded “the leader of our commu­
nity p e rfo rm an Elvis im p e rs o n a tio n ,” 
Lewis obliged with a tear-inducing rendi­
tion ol “Hound Dog” at a council meeting.

V e n e ra b le in stitu tio n s like C a rle to n 

seem conducive to pranking, Lewis says.

“Part o f our message to students when 
they arrive is take issues seriously, but d o n ’t 
take yourselves seriously. We do try to have 
fun here; contem plating the purposes of 
th e u n iv e rse all th e tim e c a n b e a b it 
Q

IT’S ALL FUN AND GAMES

Crazy student pranksters sabotage campuses

\I —
W t*

By Mike Meyer, The Badger Herald, U. of Wisconsin

hey lurk in the shad­
ows, scheming of 
nefarious deeds and 
descending on unsus­

pecting campuses. They sabo­
tage university computers, 
deface campus property and 
harass administrators.

Black face p a in t a n d th e th em e from 
Mission Impassible are, o f course, optional — 
usually reserved for those special strikes. 
But w hen p u llin g o ff legendary college 
pranks o n e thing is certain: it’s gotta be 
big.

A nd b ig c e rta in ly is w h at C a lifo rn ia 
Institute o f Technology pranksters had in 
m in d w hen they a tta c k e d th e HOLLY­
WOOD sign with visions o f school pride in 
their heads. In May 1987, as the centennial 
o f H ollyw ood a p p ro a c h e d , stu d e n ts a t 
C altech d ec id e d to a lte r th e sign to say 
som ething a bit m ore... scholarly. In the 
middle o f the night, the students used plasr- 
tic sheeting, nylon ropes, d u c t tape and 
climbing equipm ent to transform the leg­
endary landmark to read CALTECH.

Since 1902 when a drinking club at Yale 
U. tric k ed te m p e ra n c e ad v o c ate C arry 
Nation into posing for pictures with them 
as they smoked and held steins o f beer, col­

10

lege stu d en ts have persisted in hoaxing 
their stern administrators and each other. 
Students always seem willing to test their 
brain power if it will result in a laugh rather 
than a grade.

Mary Rouse, dean o f students at the U. 
o f Wisconsin, says pranks are an im portant 
outlet for student expression. “I must dif­
ferentiate between malicious pranks... and 
having fun. I d o n ’t discourage harm less 
ones at all. The Statue of Liberty was one of 
the best events we’ve ever had.”

In 1979, the Pail and Shovel Party was 
ele c te d to h ead the W isconsin S tu d e n t 
A sso ciatio n a fte r p ro m isin g — am o n g 
other things — to waste students’ money, 
change everyone’s nam e to Jo e Smith (so 
professors co u ld know each s tu d e n t by 
nam e) and bring the Statue o f Liberty to 
M a d iso n . T h ey m a d e g o o d o n th e ir 
promises, constructing a Lady Liberty who 
seem ed to have been d ro p p e d in frozen 
l^ k e M endota.

She was a 22-foot tall h e a d from th e 
bridge o f the nose upward and an arm 40 
feet tall from wrist to the tip o f the torch. 
C laim ing they had p u rc h a sed it from a 
financially strapped New York, th e party 
said a helicopter tran sportin g th e statue 
d ro p p e d it, sending it crashing throug h 
th e ice. A fter an overw h elm in g victory 
again th at fall, the Pail an d Shovel crew 
p la n te d m o re th a n 1,000 p in k p la stic

flamingos on the campus and threw a toga 
p arty fo r 10,000 p e o p le , d u rin g which 
Animal House partier Joh n Belushi phoned 
in his support.

Although the Pail and Shovel party had 
their detractors, the hum or they brought 
to c a m p u s was w e lc o m e d . “In fac t, if 
th e r e ’s an y th in g we c o u ld use m ore o f 
a m o n g o u r s tu d e n ts , it is m o re g e n tle 
hum or,” Rouse says.

In an a tte m p t to fill this d e a rth , or at 
le a s t s tim u la te s tu d e n ts to a c tio n , 
prankster Neil Steinberg has authored the 
m ischief-m aker’s bible, If At A ll Possible, 
Involve a Cow: The Book of Co I lege Pranks.

In Involve a Cow, th e m ajo rity o f th e 
painstakingly docum ented pranks occur at 
small, elitist schools like Harvard U. and 
Yale. “People have to think they’re special 
to do pranks. If you’re just some Joe Schmo 
h ap p y to g et in to sc h o o l a n d g et y o u r 
d e g re e a n d th en g rab a jo b , y o u ’re n o t 
g o in g to c o m m it any p ra n k s b e c a u se 
th e y ’re n o t g o in g to o c c u r to y o u ,” 
Steinberg says. “You also have to have the 
leisure time to say, ‘T he Dome is going to 
look b e tte r as a... tit.’” In past years the 
Great Dome at the Massachusetts Institute 
o f T e c h n o lo g y h as b e e n d o c to r e d to 
resemble a birthday cake, a jack-o’-lantem 
and, perhaps in a com m entary on the sex 
lives of MIT males, a female breast.

has a lot to look forward to this

A fter all, with five rookies in the starting 
Im eup a year ago, th e W olverines fell only

UMass women go 
to the mat to win 
back their sports

When adm inistrators took away their 
U. of Massachusetts jerseys, the women’s 
lacrosse, volleyball and ten n is players 
th re a te n e d to take th e ir university to 
court.

A nd now , th r e e y ears a fte r UMass 
d u m p e d th e th re e varsity team s, the 
women are wearing their jerseys again.

“We c h a lle n g e d th e system an d it 
worked — and we won,” says Pam Levine, 
junior co-captain o f the reinstated tennis 
team. “We totally shook up the system 
and UMass felt the heat. It’s amazing.” 

Members of the three women’s sports 
teams charged UMass athletic adm inis­
trators with discrim ination u n d e r Title 
IX, a fed eral m a n d ate w hich calls for 
equal opportunity betw een m e n ’s and 
women’s sports.

With the help of Patricia Flannery, a 
Boston lawyer who specializes in sex dis­
crimination cases, the athletes reached a 
settlement w ith the university last fall.

“It’s almost like a m iracle,” says Stacy 
Scheckner, a ju n io r tennis player. “We 
deserve to have it back.”

The university committed to a five-year 
plan to b rin g the sc h o o l’s fu n d in g of 
w om en’s sports in to com p lian ce with 
T itle IX. U n d e r th e a g re e m e n t, the 
school must restore the team schedules 
and budgets without taking money from 
other women’s sports, reimburse the stu­
dents for legal costs and attorney’s fees 
and resurface the tennis courts.

“You can’t balance the budget by dis­
c rim in a tin g a g a in st 
th e w o m e n ,” 
Flannery says. “T h e fact th a t they cut 
these teams as the athletic departm en t 
increased money to the basketball and 
football teams made it so clear that this 
was discrimination.”

Though players say adminisü'ators dis­
couraged them from trying to reinstate 
the team s, A1 R ufe, associate ath letic 
director, says h e ’s happy the w om en’s 
team s are back. “I’m d e lig h te d ,” Rufe 
says. “We w ant to p ro v id e g o o d p ro ­
grams, and everyone’s pleased.”

Levine says the women’s teams simply 

got what they deserved.

 A kinder, 
gentler break
Not all students play in 
the sun; some help others

Bv Robert Miller, Ibis, U. of Miami

[’"'"■'""^his spring break many students may be cleaning up 
the beaches instead of throwing up on them. In these 
socially conscious times, places like Homestead, Fla.,
JL are becoming more attracuve to spring breakers look­

ing for an alternative to the usual week of debauchery.

Believe it or not, not every college student wants to go to 

Daytona," says Michael Magevney.

Magevney is the coordinator of Break Away, a nadonal net­
work of more than 200 colleges and community organizadons 
created to aid schools in developing altemadve spring break 
programs.

“There are many different ways you can spend your spring 
break,” says Glenn Dubin, junior at the U. of Miami. “You can 
do it for yourself, or the altemadve is you can do it for someone
else.”

Since Homestead nearly was leveled by Hurricane Andrew 
last August, it is now in the process of rebuilding, and relief 
agencies are expecting thousands of students to travel to this 
comer of southern Dade County to help during spring break.

“If you could give me a tent to house 3,000 people, I could 

fill it,” saysjill Funk, Hurricane Relief coordinator.

So far, nearly 50 colleges nationwide have said they would 

like to send students there.
Magevney estimates at least 
1,000 students will work with 
Habitat for Humanity and 
other local agencies there.

It’s stalled right now ,”
Dubin says. “You don’t see as 
many trucks going down.
Around spring break time 
there will be a lot of building 
— it’ll be a really busy time.”

Several colleges, including 

While some students are basking In the sun...

gives them the opportunity to do that.”

Some students say spending spring break doing service work 

is more fulfilling than sun worshiping or skiing.

“You can have a better time doing something constructive,” 

Magevney says. “It really is a lot of fun.”

Last year 50 students from the U. of Miami traveled to four 
different sites in Florida. One group built homes for migrant 
farm workers; another worked at a rural shelter for homeless 
families. Eight students taught in a grade school on the 
Miccosukee Indian Reservation, and another group worked in 
a homeless shelter in Pompano Beach.

“It is an immersion experience where the college students
sleep, work and eat in the 
community in which they vol­
u n te e r for the w eek,” says 
Carrie Edmondson, director 
of V o lu n teer Services at 
Miami.

“In places like Daytona, you 
go with real high expectations, 
and they almost never live up 
to 
says. 
“ [Alternative break] was bet­
ter than I expected. I felt like I

I of Notre Dame, West Virginia U. and Rollins College sent 
groups to South Florida during their fall breaks.

You don’t realize how much work needs to be done till 
you’re down there,” says Mike Arsenault, a Notre Dame sopho­
more from South Dade. “I felt I had a responsibility to go. It hit 
my neighborhood, my home.”

Helping rebuild Homestead is just one of many alternatives 
students have this year. As many as 10,000 college students may 
participate in alternative break programs in sites across the 
country. They include hom e construction and repair in 
Appalachia, work with migrant farm workers and their families 
in Texas, reef cleanup in the Florida Keys, AIDS awareness 
efforts in San Francisco, Hurricane Hugo cleanup in South 
( arolina, and assistance for the homeless in Washington, D.C.

“People are considering it an option,” says Donica Williams, 
Volunteer Services coordinator at the U. of Miami. “A lot of 
students don’t have the time to volunteer during the year. This

had a chance to make a difference.”

And so did Laura Mann and Magevney, who, while seniors at 
Vanderbilt U. in 1991, founded and institutionalized Break 
Away. With the help of Vanderbilt U. and the Kellogg and Ford 
foundations, Break Away began to fill the void for a national 
office to coordinate the efforts of all the different programs.

Its mission is “to promote service... which immerse students 
in often vasdy different cultures, heighten social awareness and 
advocate life-long social action. "

The organization acts as a clearing house for service ideas. 
“All these schools were doing wonderful things, but they 
weren’t talking to anyone else,” Magevney says. “We found that 
our program could grow by learning what else was out there. ” 

Now, with the help of Break Away, those programs are start­
ing to work with each other to offer students solid alternatives 
to the get-drunk-and-puke option many students still prefer.

“I think when students arrive at college they believe they only

Springs, Calif., where 
college students on 
spring break once took 
over every March, turn­
ing the generally tran­
quil city into a play­
ground.

Bono, fo rm er Palm Springs

lies, a ttra cted by festivals, line

“ 1 here was no control at that 
time," says Julie Baum er, direc­

for Palm Springs. “It was out of 
hand."

m anagers like R obert Shults, who operates the Motel 6 in Palm 
Springs, says the students w eren’t worth the trouble.

“W e’re not try ing to discourage spring break, but we have an 
extraordinary set o f rules while they stay with u s,” Shults says. 
Students m ust wear wristbands at Motel 6 at all times. T h e hotel 
enforces curfews, an d students are forced to sign a blank credit 
card voucher a sa safety deposit.

A nd Palm Springs is not alone.
Jeffrey Lutz, a ju n io r at Duke U., spent spring break last year 
in M yrtle B each, S.C. Security at th e R ed T re e Inn th e re was 
tight, he says.

“O n e n ig h t o u r m ixer got nailed by o n e of the p o lic e m e n .” 
Lutz says. “W hen we stepped over the line, they were right th ere 
to put us back in o u r place.”

place,” Tolley says.

Now spring breaks in D aytona are o rch estrated carefully by 

the city’s C ham ber o f Com m erce. A nd police control is tight.

“Even in the hotels, they had security walking a ro u n d ,” Noe 
says. “You c o u ld n ’t have alcohol by th e p o o l a n d th ere were 
locks on the screen doors — you co u ld n ’t go o u t on the balconies 
at all.”

A nd that makes places like Daytona and Fort L auderdale less 
attractive to college students, who head to new spots — Panam a 
( aty and South P adre Island.

“I think w e’re seeing a big shif t tow ard P anam a C ity,” says 
R oger H arnack, a student at Embry R iddle A eronautical U. in

d e n ts a re m ig ra tin g in F lo rid a fro m F o rt L a u d e rd a le a n d 
Daytona Beach to P anam a City, w here they feel less restricted.

“Panam a City allows the kids to d rin k o n the beach and th a t’s 
a big co n c e rn fo r m ost spring-breaky type stu d e n ts,” he says. 
“T h e attitu d e is m ore accom m odating to the students.”

In the late ’80s, Daytona Beach attracted close to 500,000 stu­
d e n ts o n s p r in g b re a k . In 1992, th a t n u m b e r was d o w n to 
300,000.

“I w on’t go th ere again,” says Nikki N oe, a junior at the U. o f 
Wisconsin. Noe sp en t spring break two years ago in Daytona. “If 
you are going to spend that m uch m oney, yo u 're going to want 
to have fu n a n d n o t w orry a b o u t g e ttin g b u ste d fo r this a n d

Paul Kaklis, a sophom ore at Louisiana State U., says he got the 
message. “T hey were really, really cracking down a lot as far as

spring break last year in fo rt I^tuderdale. “It has changed d ra ­

“ [Fort L auderdale] d id n ’t want the craziness associated with

vice for seven years.

But then cities like Fort L auderdale d o n ’t get th e tourism o r

D on’t hold your breath.
Each year college students scram ble to create the p er­
fect self-indulgent break for the fewest p ennies possible. 
A nd every year som e students pay a slick salesperson for 
a deal, only to find themselves living in squalor, with no 
o n e to com plain to for a week.

Kim R ichards, a sen io r at V irginia T ech, knows that 
situatio n well. A rriving in C ancú n, M exico, h e r gro u p 
found it was n o t staying at a hotel anything like what the 
students had b een prom ised.

“It was a scary scene... the hotel was ratty, just creepy,” 
she says. It was located away from the resort area, a 15- 
m inute taxi ride to the beach, not the sh ort walk the trav­
el com pany h ad g u aranteed, she says. R ichards an d h er 
friends eventually paid extra m oney to move to a better 
hotel, b u t she says it was a hassle.

A nd hassles are the last tiling on the m inds o f college 
students who flock to spring break h o t spots. But if they 
d o n o m ore th a n te a r dow n o n e o f th o se flu o re sc e n t 
fliers th a t vows to shuttle them to spring b reak heaven 
and back again, they may be sleeping in die gutter.

Kirk Riley, vice p re sid e n t o f m a rk etin g fo r S tu d en t 
Express V acations in Denver, says his com pany provides 
p la n n e d p ack ag es fo r co lleg e b re a k trip s. A lth o u g h 
th e re are c o m p an ies th a t try to p u ll o n e over o n stu­
dents, Riley says he tries to d o th e best for the students. 
Students who simply go widi the cheapest deal, he says, 
o fte n e n d u p paying m o re overall o n th in g s like cab 
fares and o th er inconveniences.

R ichards discovered the woes o f going with die ch eap ­
est deal d u rin g h e r spring break fiasco. “ [T he ad] was 
on e o f those things th at makes it sound like it is $500 for 
e v e r y th in g ,” s h e says. “It e n d e d u p b e in g $ 8 0 0 to 
$ 1,000.”

Every year students like R ichards g et an education in 
travel scams — som etim es in die form o f a fake rep resen­
tative ru n n in g o ff with stu d e n t deposits, b u t m ore fre- 
qu endy in a com pany that erroneously has offered o ne 
package that mysteriously f alls throug h o r gets altered at 
the last m inute.

Any p ack ag e d eal th at so u n d s too g o o d to be tru e

 N o sex to safe sex, 
spring break flicks 
eal naked truth

II

By Matthew Pedrolie, Marquette Tribune, Marquette U.

He’s tall, he’s handsome and he’s got 

the darkest tan in Florida. W ith 
that hairy, heaving chest and those 
swim trunks that leave everything 
to the imagination, it could only be one man — 

But the missions of these films remain the 
same — to arouse the migratory hormones in 
high schoolers before they depart for the won­
der years o f college. And the film s have 
changed much the same way the actual breaks 
have progressed.

George Hamilton.

See him dancing the Pony at the beach and 
see him gather babes wearing swimsuits that 
expose minimal flesh. It ’s spring break ’60s 
style as portrayed by the classic film Where the 
Btrys Are.

It's not exactly the p icture painted by 
today’s flicks with beer spraying everywhere, 
chanting crowds of insane college students, 
tan goddesses in teeny weeny bikinis and 
hulking college men plunging 
from palm trees into 
the pool.

They started with Where the Boys Are, the cine­

matic pioneer of spring break.

The success of the time-honored collegiate 
rite of passage could be attributed to that first 
attempt at break entertainment.

“ Where the Boys Are is really just a camp icon. 
That movie along with the creation of the 
astronaut culture, had something to do with 
[the popularity of spring break],” says 
Chris Connelly, editor of Premiere 
magazine and host of M TV’s The Big 
Picture. “You take a look at it; it had 
George Hamilton, Connie Francis 
and several other stars of the time. 
So with that it was sort of a typical 
knockoff of a movie in its day 
that did well.”

Francis was convincing as the 
naive college girl who’d never

chicken to eat along the way and off we went — 
driving all day and all night to get there.”

After Where the Boys Are, the spring break 
trips became serious fun in the sun with a pur­
pose — to seek out boys for rollicking canasta 
games on the sand. Other spring break movies 
of lesser quality were released. In the late ’60s 
there was Love in a Fish Bowl, starring Fabian 
among others. It seems the flicks somehow cre­
ated a cult following desperate to mirror the 
dancing and romancing done by the likes of 
the hairy Hamilton.

“If you mythicize something like that it defi­
nitely spurs an interest in checking it out,” 
Connelly says. “The distance created by time 
has kind of made it something more than it is.”

In the 1960s things remained innocent — 
Annette Funicello was a model teen, Frankie 
V alli was a hair mentor and genitals stayed 
under wraps (where they belonged) — but as 
free-thinking hippies descended on the east­
ern Florida coast, there grew to be more to fear 
than just sting rays. Drugs started to pop up 
along with more liberal attitudes toward sex.

Lu ckily the spring break movies stayed 
abreast of the changes and set new agendas. 
The absolute hedonism of the ’80s was offered 
up in jiggle-and-giggle flicks like Lauderdale, 
Spring Break and Revenge of the Nerds II. Wet T- 
shirt contests came to national prominence, 
belly flopping became a favorite pastime and

through a scientific breakthrough, all bugs 
were worked out of a new device — the beer 
bong. But all of this progress didn’t just hap­
pen, it was a gradual transformation.

“Spring break has evolved out of a combina­
tion of technology and affluence,” says Linda 
Richter, a social scientist at Kansas U.

W ith all those advances, spring break has 

become a college icon.

And many students say their breaks have 
been like the movies. Danna Callero, a senior 
at the U. of Dayton, says her trip to South 
Padre Island two years ago is one she won’t for­
get.

“ It had the movie atmosphere. We went 
down with a whole group of friends from col­
lege,” she says. “ It was wild and fun in the sense 
of the movies, but there were corporate spon­
sors all over the place.”

Starting to think about your trip this year? If 
the movies help shape your plans, it seems 
there’s one thing to strive for — insanity.

And that probably won’t be a problem.
“We went to Disneyworld last year, about 15 
of us from school,” says Chris Jones, a senior at 
Providence College.

“At night we would go to this thing there 
called Pleasure Island. It’s an island filled with 
different bars. I saw sweat shirts from across 
the country. Every night it was like a thousand 
XL
college kids drinking and going nuts.” 

The 1961 
Where the 
Boys Are (top) 
kept genitals 
under wraps, but 
the 1984 Spring 
Break (center), left 
little to the imagina­
tion. And even the 
geeks got women in 
Revenge of the Nerds 
II (bottom).

Hughes Brothers Get Gritty In M enace • Video Releases

By PHILLIP ZONKEL
The Northern Star, Northern Illinois U.

With Hollywood executives recovering from 
the desperate rush to release Oscar-caliber 
flicks in time for nominations, the pickings for 
January and February are slimmer than ever. 
But whv not take in a movie anyway? That pesky 
12-page research paper isn’t due until April. 
Groundhog Day (Columbia Pictures)

It's not Saturday Night with Todd giving noo- 
gies to Lisa. Instead B ill Murray is live from 
Punxsutawney, Pa., as your local TV weather­
man, Phil Connors. H e ’s no W illa rd Scott, 
though; Connors is a selfish schmuck on his 
least favorite assignment - the Groundhog Day 
Festival. He finds himself stuck in time, endless­
ly repeating Feb. 2 — ad nauseam for him and, 
hopeful Iv, ad hilarium for audiences.
Untamed Heart (MGM)

Christian Slater pumps up the drama in this 
film exploring the never-been-explored topic of 
young adult love. Caroline (Marisa Tomei) is a 
street smart waitress with a history of bad rela­
tionships. Slater plays Adam, the reclusive bus- 
boy who tries to clean up the leftovers of 
Caroline's life. It’s an entree of learning about 
life with a side order of romance. Together they 
may become the special of the day.
National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon I (New 

Line Cinema)

From the company that brought us classics 
like Animal House and Vacation comes an action- 
comedy starring Em ilio Estevez. Still smoking 
from box office bonanza Mighty Ducks, Estevez 
should be in prime form for this one. W ith 
cameo appearances from Whoopi Goldberg, 
William Shatner, C harlie Sheen and CHiPs 
actors Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox, it’s bound 
to be an intellectually stimulating cinematic 
experience.

Lorenzo's Oil (Universal Pictures)

Originally set for an early fall release but 
delayed in an effort to ring in the new year with 
loads of Oscar notices, this film stars Nick Nolte 
and Susan Sarandon in the real-life story of 
Augusto and Michaela Odone. A doctor tells 
the couple no cure is available for the condition 
afflicting their 5-year-old son, Lorenzo, who is 
given a two-year life expectancy. For this couple,

Six more weeks of winter? Bill Murray travels to Punxsutawney, Pa., to celebrate Groundhog Day.

taking two aspirins and calling the doctor in the 
morning isn’t an option.
Blood In... Blood Out (Hollywood Pictures)

The lives of three Latino cousins are linked 
forever by, among other things... blood. In case 
you missed the last 80 gang flicks, here’s anoth­
er, but, undoubtedly, not your last chance to see 
street violence at its finest. During a span of 10 
years, the cousins’ lives take unexpected turns 
in their individual pursuits of power and sur­
vival. W ill their quests leave rivers that run 
blood red? W ill Hollywood ever stop making 
this tired genre of film?
Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice 

(Miramax)

Brutal m urder, father-son bonding and 
romance combine to fuel a provocative story­
line in this sequel to the junior high classic that 
frightened many a preteen-ager. Again a band 
of murderous youths has killed a slew of adults 
in this sleepy Nebraska town. (Is there any other 
kind of town in Nebraska?) But hark, a reporter 
desperate to save his career arrives to get the 
scoop and brings along his son in an attempt to 
reconcile their strained relationship. What bet­
ter way to improve family relations than by sur­

rounding your son with frenzied C learasil 
creeps? But wait, there’s more. Romance blos­
soms when the duo meet two women. What else 
could a film offer? Free admission maybe.

The Temp (Paramount)

You know her as Stacey - Wayne’s mentally 
unstable girlfriend from Wayne’s World — but 
Lara Flynn Boyle won’t be riding her bike into 
any parked cars as she portrays the vicious temp 
o f doom. Sh e’s not just typing, answering 
phones and making copies; she’s hell bent on 
climbing the corporate ladder even if it requires 
murder. Get ready for Working Girl meets The 
Hand that Rocks the Cradle in this action thriller 
that will make you tremble in fear every time 
you stroll past a temp agency.
Passion Fish (Miramax)

A routine leg waxing turns into a brush with 
death when wrathful soap star May-Alice (Mary 
M cDonnell) is hit by a cab on the way to the 
salon. But she’s about to get an attitude adjust­
ment from a scaly creature. That’s right; it’s a 
fish, and if you squeeze it when thinking of the 
one you love, anything can happen. Set in the 
Louisiana bayou, this film should be a finger- 
T1
licking good cajun comedy. 

Meet Albert and Allen Hughes — a unique set 
ot twin brothers. At age 20 they are directing their 
first feature film, Menace II Society, slated for 
release in May. It’s a film that 
doesn’t pull any punches about 
nner-city strife. Menace! s cen­
tral character, Caine Lawson, 
lives in Watts. Amid accusa­
tions of murder, the fatherless 
18-year-o!d must find a way to 
survive in the Los Angeles ghet­
to

“It is a pretty fucked-up place 
to live in right now,” Albert says 
Any major city for minorities — Latinos, blacks, 
anybody — - has problems, and it is time to look at 
them. There is no way you can close your eyes.” 

And the twins make no attempt to shut theirs 
to the reality of the projects.The brothers, bom 
in inner-city Detroit, say they’re first-hand wit-

on the set

nesses to issues in the film like car jacking, police 
brutality and discrimination.

“From a day-to-day basis we were constantly 
being called niggers,” Albert 
says of his former home in a 
city near L A Despite their age 
and race, the Hughes brothers 
are set on conquering 
Hollywood. Making movies 
isn’t enough; they want to 
change attitudes. 
“ When 
Francis 
Coppola, 
Ford 
Scorsese and De Palma do 
films, [the critics] never ques­
tion them the way black filmmakers are ques­
tioned,” Allen says. "If black filmmakers got to 
resort in making violent films about streets, that 
is not our problem — we are making what we 
see.” ■ Justino Aguila, Daily 49er, California

ri. THE NA TIONAL COLLEGE M A G A Z IN E JA N U A R Y /F E B R U A R Y 1993

 NC-17 really solve the problem s posed by 
the X rating? Deutsch says no. “ Most o f the 
audiences d o n ’t know what NC-17 m eans,” 
he says.

T h e idea behind a NC-17 rating seemed 
relatively sim ple. I f film s were given this 
rating, they m ight avoid the fatal m ark o f 
being an X-rated film , with no chance o f 
making it to the local theaters.

Bu t an NC-17 m ark has becom e ju st as 
d e a d ly fo r film m akers. A n d m ovies like 
Damage, a New L in e C inem a creation, are 
left to walk the murky line between R and 
X .

Damage stars Je r e m y Iro n s as a B ritis h 
m e m b e r o f P a r lia m e n t w h o b e c o m e s 
obsessed with his son’s g irlfriend , played 
b y ju lie tte Binoche. W h e n N ew L in e sub­
mitted the film to the M P A A , it was hand­
ed an NC-17 rating.

T h e rating did not sit well with the stu­
dio, which said the film from French direc­
to r L o u is M a lle , was g ettin g a bum rap. 
“Damage has m uch less real, physical nudi­
ty th an Basic Instinct, ” says N e w L i n e ’s 
President o f M ark e tin g and D istrib u tion 
M itchell Goldm an.

W h ile advance publicity for the film was 
e ro tic , m ost o f th e lo v e m a k in g scenes 
b e tw e e n Ir o n s a n d B in o c h e a r e n ’ t as 
shocking as m any o f those between other 
on-screen couples. U ltim ately, the studio 
decided to cut a few o f the m ore graphic 
scenes and the film received an R rating.

N O 17 began well enough, when the rat­
ing was created in 1990 and first used to 
label the film Henry and June, to ind icate 
that no children und er 17 were allowed to 
see the film . T h e M P A A , u n d er pressure 
from U n ive rsal Studios, (w hich released 
Henry and J un e ) a n d d o z e n s o f o t h e r 
im portant film industry names, created the 
rating to take the place o f the X ranking, 
w hich m eans the same thing but carries 
connotations o f pornography.

T h e M P A A ’s voluntary rating system (G , 
P G , R , X ) was d ra w n up in 1968. U n t il 
th e n , a ll film s h a d to a d h e r e to “ T h e 
P ro d u c tio n C o d e ,” w h ich dictated w hat 
k in d o f c o n te n t was su ita b le in m ovies. 
M P A A President Ja c k V a le n ti at the tim e 
decided the system was nothing less than 
thinly veiled censorship. So the M P A A , in 
conjunction with m any figures in the film 
industry, religious organizations and lead­
ers o f the N ational Association o f T heater 
O wners, created the voluntary rating sys­
tem.

But the X rating never was copyrighted

like the G, P G and R ratings. Makers o f low- 
rent skin flicks were free to capitalize on 
the X ’s c o n n o ta tio n s o f ad u lt- o rien ted 
material and began pasting as many Xs as 
they pleased on their films. Soon the X rat­
ing became associated with pornography, 
and many theaters, newspapers and T V sta­
tions refused to display X-rated films or ads 
for them.

T h a t ’s w h e re th e in d u s try re m a in e d 
until NC-17 was created. But the solution 
has proven almost as difficult as the prob­
lem.

M any film m akers are starting to suspect 
there is a d o u b le standard in the M P A A 
ratings o f their films. Basic Instinct is a fre­
quently cited exam ple. It is a mainstream 
thriller, featuring num erous scenes depict­
ing violent sex. B u tin Total Recall, another 
blood-fest with an enorm ous body count, a 
m a n ’s arm s are severed on screen. Basic 
Instinct got the scissors. Total Recall got the 
M P A A ’s blessings.

A n d even if a film company is w illing to 
risk an NC-17 rating, many movie theaters 
have restrictions w ritten into th e ir leases 
against show ing NC-17 film s. M ary-Ann 
Grasso, executive director o f the N ational 
Association o f T h e ate r Owners, says often­
times screenings o f NC-17 movies must be 
held for theater landlords, who “ in many 
cases w ill re le n t a n d show the f ilm .” It 
depends on the picture, she says.

Setting up screenings fo r landlords is a 
cum bersom e and tedious process and is 
not always feasible, Goldm an says.

R estrictio n s against NC-17 film s are a 
form o f co m m ercial censorship, w ithout 
any one perpetrator, he says. T h o u g h the 
films are not censored, they are inhibited 
from reaching broad audiences.

“ If it is a picture o f quality and is appro­
p ria te fo r th e ir c o m m u n ity ,” la n d lo rd s 
usually are w illing to show NC-17 films. As 
theaters negotiate new leases, restrictions 
against NC-17 film s like ly w ill be lifted , 
Grasso says.

Because NC-17 is young, the film com ­
m unity hasn’t decided whether the rating 
will survive as an alternative to the X cate­
gory. B u t as lo n g as theaters are w ary o f 
showing NC-17 rated film s, m ajo r film s’ 
grosses will be threatened and cutting films 
dow n to R ratings w ill re m a in the m ost 
viable option.

Body of Evidence's Deutsch says, “ I f we had 
gone out with an NC-17, the entire focus o f 
everyone’s attention would be on the rat­
ing rather than on the content.”

Anna’s head on the floor, attacking her like a wild animal. The 
sexual acts are cold, evoking images of evil and danger.

The screenplay by David Hare, from the novel by Josephine 
Hart, and the taut direction by Malle bring out sterling perfor- - 
manees from the cast. Irons gives a top-notch performance as 
Fleming, An actor who virtually has made a career of portray­
ing tentative, insecure characters through the TV series 
“Brideshead Revisited” and in the films Betrayal and Dead 
Ringers, Irons is believable and riveting as a man who falls 
prey to his own passions and loses his perception of reality.

when rough cuts o f the 
movie began circulating 
and the M otion Picture

NC-17 rating, Hollyw ood began to buzz.

T h e NC-17 rating, the once-heralded,

grown rusty from disuse. Films stigmatized

An affair with your son’s lover 
could cause serious Damage
Damage is a complex, eloquent and melancholy film that 
leaves you with a hitter aftertaste. It tells a psychological horror 
story so unsettling it literally drains the emotions, devastates 
the mind and depresses the soul.

Produced and directed by Louis Malle, Damage makes no 
attempt to heighten the drama by using stylized camera angles 
or sharp editing cuts. As a result, M^e delivers a harrowing 
film about self-destruction and ob$és$fen that reaches the 

j depths of tragedy.
I The focus of Damage is the illicit affair of Stephen Fleming 
j (Jeremy Irons), a British politician, with his son's girlfriend, 
i Anna Barton (Juliette Binoche). Fleming lets his weaknesses 
break through the cracks of his charming facade and lets 
uncontrollable lust get the better of him. in feet, the lusty

scenes in this flick almost earned it an NC-17 rating.

From beginning to end, the images in the fHm are stark and 
disturbing. Watching Damage is a little like being a voyeur, 
looking through a window, watching two people having violent 
sex bordering on masochism. Fleming is seen pounding

Elvis Costello
The Juliet Letters 
★ ★ ★ ★

Elvis Costello’s latest work o f musical art, 
The Juliet Letters, rolls to a stop and the last 
long note hangs in the air. It is a beautiful 
thing.

D e p a rtin g from his 
norm al pop/new wave 
fo rm at, C o s te llo has 
incorporated the string 
en sem b le 
Bro d sk y 
Q uartet to add a classi­
cal twist.

His Hipness mixes the 

beauty of stringed instruments with his deep, 
wavering voice to produce a m elodic, h yp 
notic, dynamic and oh-so-haunting album.

This liste n in g ex p erien ce begins w ith 
“ D eliver U s” in which Costello softly sings 
above a deep cello, crescendoing into a flur­
ry o f violins. H e uses the beauty o f classical 
instruments to benefit the mood o f the song, 
rem iniscent o f “This M ortal C o il’s Blo od .” 
V ery cool.

In “ I Alm ost H ad a W eakness,” Costello 
uses a fast, sharp violin, teasing the listener 
w ith his liltin g vo ice. A n d the u p liftin g 
m elod y its e lf disguises the lyrics (an d I 
burned the photographs o f your wedding 
clothes; God they were ugly child ren), leav­
ing a sarcastic grin on the serious music.

This album seduces you, taking you in to

spin am idst swirling violins and C ostello’s 
signature alternative (the original use o f the 
word) style. A definite must for any musical 
library. ■ Kim M cGee, The Rebel Yell, U . o f 
Nevada, Las Vegas

Ice Cube
The Predator 
★ ★ ★

This new release from Ice Cube probably 
won’t make it into Tipper G ore’s collection 
of CDs, but The Predator is sure to gam er Ice 
C ube the one thin g he seems so good at 
attracting—attention.

M uch like he has on past recordings, Ice 
Cube makes liberal use o f racial slurs and vio­
lent descriptions, earning a parental advisory 
for his album. And if you can get around his 
less-than-poetic ju stifica tio n fo r violence 
( “ W e had to te a r the 
m o th e rfu ck e r u p ” ), 
you’ll find that Predator is 
fa irly representative o f 
Cube’s previous work — a 
gut-wrenching voice for 
rap w ith d em an d in g , 
en e rg etic background 
rhythms.

His message on this album is as powerfully 
in-your-face as all his others. “ I do want the 
white man to understand... To see that what 
he did in the past is still affecting us now.” 
Taken with the mesmerizing jam that gives

these words life, Ice Cube has concocted a set 
of rap tunes as passionate and frustrating as 
the voice that carries them.

Hunt this one down. ■ Brett Barrouquere, 

TheNichoUs Worth, Nicholls State U.

Phish
Rift 
★ ★

You can’t say it any clearer than this — the 
newest catch from Phish is not fit for con­
sumption.

The band’s trademark eclectic style back­
fires into a m ontage o f 13 random , often 
m ism atch ed p ieces c a lle d Rift, w h ich 
drowns in one too many genres o f thumping 
m usical style, despite the gro up ’s obvious 
m u sic a l 
ta le n t.
“ S p a rk le ,” the b an d ’s 
m eag er a tte m p t at 
som ething, is a cou n­
try-western nightm are 
straight from Hee-Haw, 
com plete w ith twangy 
g u ita r. A n d “ W e ig h ” 
sounds like an episode 
from They M ight Be Giants meets alterna­
tive jazz. M any o f the songs such as “ R ift” 
and “ Fast Enough For Y o u ” start out with 
enticing, bluesy rhythms, only to turn into 
O livia Newton John-ish reprises. It’s a prob­
lem typical o f the album.

But Ph ish’s most prom inent red herring 
lies in its singing ability... or lack thereof. A t 
best the group sounds like a weak version of 
Sim on and Garfunkel.

A t worst, Phish sounds like a recording 
from Sesame Street Live with synthetic-sound­
ing harm onies and im possibly stupid and 
repetitive lyrics.

The only saving grace for the group is its 
talent fo r m usical solos. A t least h a lf the 
songs on the album contain 30-second snip­
pets o f some o f the jazziest guitar and piano 
solos outside New York, the band’s special­
ty.

H aving com e o ff a raging sum m er tour 
with Blues Traveler and Spin Doctors, you’d 
think Phish might have learned something 
about quality music. Obviously not. Throw 
th is o n e b ack. ■ N ic o le C o b b a n , The 
Bucknellian, Bucknell U.

Following up his album-length nod (yawn) to Beatle-esque pop hooks, Robyn Hitchcock 
finally has settled into the mature groove for which long-time fans have been waiting. His new, 
as yet untitled LP has Hitchcock flexing his introspective muscle and 
turning off the amps for the first acoustic album with The Egyptians. 
Release date is Feb. 23.

U. THE NATIONAL COLLEGE MAGAZINE JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1993

 They’re dishing out 
something a little 
less cheesy, a little 
more believable

ut o f the secondary silence that 
com es lik e an all-too-b rief 
respite between the high-inten- 
sity ch o rd s o f E M F ’s latest 
album, Stigma, swells a rising chorus o f 
harmonious voices. Deep in form and rich 
in unity, the methodical chants are spell- 
binding.Just as this stirring sound nears its 
pinnacle, though, a singularly recogniz­
able tone emerges from the vocal mass, 
desperate an d d e fia n t in its fo rc e fu l 
proclamation.

“Time is what I want,” he says.
But then time runs out, and the hard- 
edged riffs o f brutal reality reach out to 
slap you right in the face.

“ W e needed something in the chorus of 
[“ Blue H ighs” ] and I had this record o f 
Bulgarian chants,” Ian Dench, lead-gui- 
iar ist and songwriter for E M F, says from 
the cozy confines of his Leeds hotel room. 
“ So I put this record on... and just ran the 
track to see if anything sounded right at 
the beginning o f this record. It fit perf ectly 
with the track — perfect in time, perfect in 
key, all the c h o rd chang es — an d we 
thought, ‘Shit, there’s something going 
on here.’ So we put it straight down on 
the record.”

It seems ra th e r obvious that 

something definitely is going on 
here, that these o ve rn ig h t 
British sensations h aven ’t 
quite fallen into the formu­
laic void of pop-conformi- 
ty that tempts so m any 
one-hit-wonder acts with 
its irresistible appeal of 
chart-topping success.
E M F , in fact, seems 
determined to shed its 
fop 10, New-Kids-on- 
the-Limey-Block image 
with a veng eance. As 
the refrain o f Stigm a’s 
op en in g tra ck goes, 
they’re h ere,” and this 
time, th ey’ve got som e­
thing to prove.

“ It was a difficult time writ­
as 
ing the album because it was 
avs. 
so self-conscious,” Dench says.
W hat 
"It was like, ‘W h o are we? W hat 
st shrug 
are we doing?’ W e had to just shrug 
other ‘Un- 
off the pressure to write another ‘U n ­
hing. 
believable’ and do our own thing.

“ [T he album] is kind of autobiographi­
cal in a way. Schubert Dip was done at a time

when we had no responsibilities... it was all 
energy and excitement about being in a 
band. Stigma is kind of dealing with what 
we’ve been through over the last two years 
and how it’s become a way of life.”

In fact, E M F appears to take a bit o f a 
defensive stand against critics who decried 
the instant applause show ered on the 
band following its first release.

To this end, the carefully crafted songs 
on Stignui serve as answers meant to silence 
the still-skeptical purists of alternative 
music. Even the album ’s less-than-subtle 
title p ro ­

vides a clue to E M F ’s opinion of its recent 
exposure to the scruiinous and withering 
glare o f the mass-culture spotlight. “ I 
guess [the name is] kind of having to live 
up to people’s misconceptions about the 
band,” Dench admits. “ Some people still 
write us o ff as some shallow pop band; 
they haven’t listened.”

E M F ’s calm ed-dow n, second-time- 
round approach to studio recording, cou­
pled w ith a m u ch c le a re r sense o f its 
intended musical direction, allowed the 
band to explore freely the boundless lim­
its of its style while recording Stigma. The 
band had all the time it needed to finish 

the experiment.

from an essential legion o f its original fans 
— the teenybopper set.

“ I think [the album] threw some peo­
ple, some o f the teen press that say, ‘Oh, 
they turned their back on their exciting 
stuff and they got old and boring,” ’ admits 
Dench with a hint of droll British sarcasm

“Hey, look, w e go 
d e e p e r than that. 
W e ’re authentic.”

“ A n o t h e r 
Schubert Dip was that we were 
ru sh ed in d o in g it; we 
w orked with producers 
and just didn’t have the 
confidence to stick up 
fo r o u r b e lie fs in 
some ways,” Dench 
says. “ It was a bit 
of a compromise. 
But on this one, 
it’s like we know 
how we want to 
sound now... 
w e’re ju s t cap­
turing that sort 
of live energy.

in his voice. “ W ell, fair enough. I guess 
some people who liked us being a pop 
band or whatever don’t like us to develop 
away from that.

“ So many rubbish songs go to number 
one. It’s not really a recommendation for a 
song to go to number one and for a band 
to have immediate chart success with our 
kind o f background. Some people write 
you off for that, though Unbelievable’ was 
an excellent song.”

T h u s d esp ite the ob vious ap p eal o f 
churning out mindlessly robotic-sounding 
singles, Dench professes EMF" would much 
rather earn success during the longer haul 
of its career. “ I don’t always want to do this 
‘heart of the top thing’ too much,” he says.
That may mean giving up the mass we- 
saw-it-on-MTV following of fans who come 
with being at the top o f the charts with a 
song lik e “ U n b e lie v a b le .” B u t D ench 
d oesn’t seem to m ind, especially if the 
band makes itself and its music a little 
more believable along the way.

“ I f th e re ’s anything we should steer 
clear of, it’s obvious single material," he 
says emphatically, “ ’cause if there’s some­
thing we feel uncom fortable with, it’s a 
jolly upbeat pop record. W e just wanted to 
make a sort o f statement: ‘Hey, look, we go
