Releasing documents that describe the FBI's use of military tear gas rounds on the standoffs final day — April 19, 1993 — Rep. Henry Waxman asked why the House Government Reform Contrary to the allegations of cover-up, substan­ tial evidence of the use of military tear gas rounds was, in fact, provided to Congress in 1995.” — Henry Wsxmsn congressman, D-CaSf. Committee's chairman is accusing the Justice Department of a cover-up when his own investigators missed the same evidence that has suddenly revived the Waco debate. "Contrary to the allegations of cover- up, substantial evidence of the use of military tear gas rounds was, in fact, provided to Congress in 1995," said Waxman, D-Calif., the committee's top Democrat Separately, the Texas Rangers issued a report Monday indicating a house near the Davidians' compound that federal agents occupied before and during the siege contained a dozen spent rifle cartridges preferred by sharpshooters — as well as the FBI and the Bureau erf Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The FBI has long denied fir­ ing a single shot during the standoff. ATF was involved in a deadly shootout with the Davidians on Feb. 28, 1993, that launched the 51-day confrontation. The records Waxman cited, discov­ ered among more than 40 boxes of material compiled during the House's 1995 hearings, include an FBI pilot's 1993 statement recalling a radio trans­ mission in which agents had a conver­ sation "relative to the utilization of some sort of military round ... on a con­ crete bunker." And post-raid interview summaries include an unnamed FBI agent's explanation that smoke cap­ tured on film "came from [an] attempt to penetrate bunker with one military and two [non-incendiary] rounds."

The friendly atmosphere — including a smiling handshake between Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy and chief Palestinian negotiator Mahmoud Abbas — belied the difficulties ahead. After immersing themselves for years in details, number-crunching and mov­ ing pins on maps, negotiators from both sides now must confront their most deeply held beliefs. Issues like Palestinian statehood, the rights of refugees and the status of Jerusalem are central to how each side frames its past and views its future — and are all the more daunt­ ing for the one-year deadline the sides have set. Monday's opening at a converted army base between Israel and the Gaza Strip came after two false starts toward final bilks, in May 1996 and November 1998. At a joint news conference after a brief meeting with Abbas, Levy said, "This agreement will bring to an end, God whiling the 100-year con­ flict that has caused so much suffer­ ing between the Palestinians." Israel and "No one among us has illusions," he said. "We face a difficult task. The permanent status agreement is the final block in building peace, but it is the most complex of them all." Abbas, Arafat's deputy, urging a speedy resolution, said, "We cannot afford to lose more time, for lots of precious time was wasted. "The past was marked with denial. Let the future be based on mutual recognition of self-determi­ nation. It is time to feel. It is time to reconstruct. It is the time for peace and peacemakers." The breadth of the talks dwarfs last week's breakthrough agreement on prisoner releases and land trans­ fers. Within five months, by Feb. 15, negotiators must present the outlines of an agreement on the nature and borders of a Palestinian entity, the status of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees and the future of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. A full accord is to be reached by September 2000. Dennis Ross, the US. envoy to the Middle East, called the deadline ambitious, but realistic. "With the right kind of spirit, with the right kind of determination, if die will is there and there is a genuine effort to negotiate in good faith, I believe the parties are not being too ambitious," he told The Associated Press. "I believe it is possible." The two sides' opening positions remain as far apart as on Sept. 13, 1993, when Israel and die Palestine Liberation Organization recognized each other with the White House handshake between Rabin and Arafat. The Palestinians want to establish a state in all of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with east Jerusalem as its capital. They demand the repatria­ tion of 3 million Palestinian refugees and die dismantling of Jewish settle­ ments unwilling to remain under Palestinian sovereignty. Israel, in turn, wants to annex MIDEAST/Page 2 AP photo U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno addresses an audience in Sacramento, Calif., Monday. Committee members may face conflicts of interest Thaddeus DeJesus Daily Texan Staff The recent appointments of two Student Government leaders to the Student Services Fee Committee have raised possible conflict of interest issues. SG president Pansa Fatehi, a Plan II junior, appointed vice president Eric Opiela, a gov- e r n m e n t senior, and her­ self to the fee c o m m i t t e e , which deter­ mines raises on Texas Union fees and appro- pnates approxi­ mately $12 million in collected student fees to UT organizations, including SG. Fatehi However, Fatehi's past stance on Union fees could draw questions about SG's separation of powrers. Fatehi has been in support of hills that would raise the Union fee w ithout a student body vote, and has testified before the Texas Legislature in favor of such measures. One such measure, Senate Bill 947, passed earlier this year by the Texas Legislature, made Union fee increases an easier task Instead erf the tradition­ al referendum, approval of five out of nine fee committee members can change the fee. Fatehi said she does not see a con­ flict of interest. She added that she is títere to pro\ide a student voice on the committee. "My representation of student inter­ ests is important in everything I do, including this committee," she said.

The demonstration was held on the 6th anniversary of the Oslo agreement signed in Washington by late Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat marking the beginning of the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians to finalize the status of the West Bank and Gaza p hoto UT ready for Tower opening Stacey Rainey Daily Texan Staff The official reopening of the UT Tower Observation Deck will be celebrated in cor­ relation with the 116th anniversary of the University Wednesday. The Observation Deck was first closed in 1966 after Charles Whitman's shooting spree which killed 14 people. The deck reopened after several weeks but closed again in 1975 after several suicides. It has remained closed ever since. A student-driven proposal prompted UT President Larry Faulkner to recom­ mend to the UT System Board of Regaits to reopen the Observation Deck last year. The recommendation was approved in November 1998. Since approval of the reopening, UT offi­ cials have been making preparations for public access to the deck, including a stain­ less steel fence enclosing the deck and an elevator from the 27th floor to carry visitors unable to climb the stairs. Steve Kraal, associate director of busi­ ness services, said general University funds covered the cost of the lattice and elevator, which cost $200,000 and $400,000, respec­ tively. To defray further costs — like the hiring of police officers and tour guides — visitors must purchase a $3 ticket at the Texas Union for the tour. Ticket revenue will cover only a portion of the yearly operating costs, which Faulkner estimated at more than $100,000. Cami Reben, a Radio-Television-Film senior, said the fee could be a little steep for students, but she'll probably take the tour anyway. "I think ids cool that they're reopening it, because I'm sure there are a lot of people who want to go up there," Reben said. UT Senior Vice President William Livingston, who once opposed reopening the Tower, said the process of doing so has beat long and difficult to accomplish. "It's not because anyone was hostile to the idea, but because of problems we were not ready to deal with — suicides," he said. One of Livingston's students committed suicide by jumping off the Tower before it was closed. TOWER/Page 2 s Defendant boasted of killing, prosecutors say U It was a rush Associated Press BRYAN — Murder defendant and white supremacist Lawrence Russell Brewer was so proud of his participation in the gruesome drag­ ging death of a black East Texas man last year that he wrote about it weeks later, prosecutors said Monday as Brewer's trial got under way, “I'm the goddamned hero of the day," he wrote to another inmate while being held at the Jasper County Jail for the June 1998 Byrd slaying. In the July 1998 letter to an inmate at a state prison, he referred to "rolling a tire." A witness described "tire" as a derogatory jailhouse term for a black person. "Well, I did it," Brewer wrote in the letter, which was intercepted by and I’m still licking my lips for more.” Jan letter from Lawrence Russet Brewer — a deputy. "And no longer am I a vir­ gin. It was a rush and I'm still licking my lips for more." Defense attorney Doug Barlow, who declined to make an opening statement to the jury Monday, said Brewer was writing about sex and not a murder.

Page 2 Tuesday, September 14,1999 T h e D a il y T e x a n Committee Continued from page 1 But Fatehi is not the only one on the committee with ties to the Union. Karrol Kitt, an associate professor of human ecology, is also a member of the Texas Union Board of Directors. Kitt said that although she has served on the fee com m ittee and chaired the Division of Recreational Sports simultaneously, she has never encountered a conflict of interest “1 have never voted in the past when Recreational Sports came up," Kitt said. "It was never necessary for me to vote. The students and the other administrators were thinking on the same line as the Recreational Sports Budget." Kitt said judging by her past behav­ ior, she may not vote on budget items affecting Union issues. In addition, Opiela said he would be Tower Continued from page 1 But it would be almost impossible for anyone to jump off with the new steel bars around the deck, he added. In August, the Tower Garden, a grassy area just north of the Main Building, was dedicated to victims of the 1966 shooting incident. H ow ever, some wish the more happy to abstain from voting on SG appropriations, adding that he doesn't have any qualms about membership on the committee. "I've never been affiliated with the Union, and so I don't feel any conflict of interest with that issue," he said. Fatehi also said she would consider abstaining from appropriations votes concerning SG. But Kitt said if students don't vote on issues like SG and the Union, power may shift to administrators. "If students are voting on certain issues, it may sway control," Kitt said. However, M ichelle Mann, a fee com m ittee member and Plan ll/accounting junior, said the balance of power is skewed, adding she would support SG measures that would pre­ vent potential conflicts of interest. Sharon Justice, dean of students and a committee member, said it is prema­ ture to determine if the appointment will create difficulties. She added that SG leaders hqve typically occdpied positions on the fee committee. "In the past the president and vice president have voted on the budget, and it has not been a problem," she said. Dan Hamilton, membership direc­ tor of the Student Government Reform Alliance, an organization that monitors SG activities, said that to outsiders these appointments may signal back­ room dealings. "The perception is that SG has always been an insider organization — this reinforces that." The first fee committee meeting is Sept. 20. positive aspects of the Tower could be accentuated. The UT birthday festivities will begin at 11:50 a.m. Wednesday on the South Mall with cake, opening remarks and music. A sym posium , The Open Tower, will be held at the Jessen Auditorium in Homer Rainey Hall at 2 p.m. and will be followed by a reception. Later in the evening, at a free con­ cert on the South Mall in celebration of the University's birthday, 10 audi­ ence members will be chosen in a drawing to participate in the first public tour of the Observation Deck.

Burton spokesman Mark Corallo acknowledged the committee had pos­ sessed the records since 1995. However, he said they were part of more than 100,000 docum ents the Justice Department gave the panel three days before hearings were to begin, "in an obvious attempt to keep congressional staff from having enough time to review those docu­ ments.

H o o k T h e V o te '9 9 SG, M ayor W a tso n T ea m U p T o G et L o n g h o r n s T o T h e P o lls Recently, The Daily Texan Editorial Board exam­ ined the disastrous state of student apathy on this campus. In many respects, die editorial correctly exposed one of the biggest problems facing our gen­ eration. This leaves us with two questions. Do we give up and rest on a generation of complacency? Or, should we stand up and do something for our com­ munity? I lean toward the latter notion, and I hope that you subscribe to a similar philosophy. This fall, Student Government will lead a bipartisan, campus- wide student movement called Hook the Vote '99 that will directly affect the University community. Hook the Vote '99 is a student initiative designed to educate and mobilize the University of Texas and Texas A&M University communities to ensure the passage of Proposition 17. Prop. 17 is a statewide ref­ erendum on this November7s ballot to modernize the administration of the Permanent University Fund (PUF). Passage would result in an immediate increase of $33.6 million in available funds in 2000 to as much as $49.75 million per year by 2004. This translates to about $10 million dollars for UT-Austin annually, starting next year. Prop. 17 resulted from the unanimous passage, without any debate, of House Joint Resolution 58 in May, 1999. The Proposition stands to modernize the PÜF by making it a "total return" fund. Simply put, this change would enable fund managers to employ P a r is a F a t e h i S t u d e n t G o v e r n m e n t P r e s id e n t modem principles of asset management already used by Harvard, Stanford and over 95 percent of other major investment funds. New funds resulting from the passage of Proposi­ tion 17 would be used for endevours such as increased scholarships, more faculty hiring, new con­ struction projects, increased staff salary and benefits, and increased library materials. The stakes are high. If Prop. 17 doesn't pass now, the Texas Legislature might not present us with this opportunity for a quite some time. Therefore, the importance of Prop. 17 increases dramatically. Our goal of guaranteeing the passage of Proposi­ tion Í7 also complements a larger objective: increas­ ing the knowledge and political participation of stu­ dents at the University of Texas and Texas A&M University. Traditional observations have labeled members of this age group as unresponsive and une­ ducated regarding the political process. However, this analysis fails to acknowledge the tremendous energy and passion that college students possess. We consider Proposition 17 to be a unifying and momen­ tum-building issue on campus, and we hope that student involvement in this initiative will translate into a life-long interest in political participation. Priority #1 is to get as many students as possible to become "deputized" voter registrars. Deputies are important to the initiative because they can officially register other students to vote. Any interested stu­ dent can become an official deputy. Today at the Student Government meeting (7 p.m. in the SSB Assembly Hall), the Travis County Voter Registration Office will deputize the entire Student Government. The process only takes about 15 min­ utes, and we encourage all students to become stu­ dent deputies with us. Mayor Kirk Watson ivill kick off the event, and various news media outlets will be present. We need your support to accomplish these goals. Please visit our Web site at http://ivww.texaseduca- tion.com and support Hook the Vote '99. Feel free to direct your questions or comments to me at (512) 471-3166. Your involvement in this matter is essential to the success of this initiative. Together, we can make a difference. Fatehi is a Plan II senior.

More than we thought, apparently. The racist graffiti found on promotional posters last Friday suggests that somebody on campus has either a sick sense of humor or a genuine axe to grind with minority students. Either way, the incident is very disturbing. But does this insensitive action reflect the racial attitudes of the majority of University students? Absolutely not. Various and sundry racist epithets were scrawled on posters at Jester that advertised events for minority Greek organizations, a gospel choir concert, and aplay portraying a meeting between Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. The coward(s) who couldn't voice his racism in broad daylight did apparent­ ly figure out that the Greek letters "AKA" could be altered to read "KKK " What intellect. Forget the idea that this was just a misguided practical joke; Friday's actions were too thorough and too widespread to be the work of some insensitive prankster; Posters were ripped off of kiosks all over campus. So we're left with the cold reality: Some racist student, probably with some help from his equally ignorant friends, got rowdy and thought he'd try to teach somebody a lesson. All it takes is a few racist nuts to make life miserable for all of us, and we've apparently got some real wackos on this campus. But that shouldn't surprise anybody. The climate across the country with supremacist groups is on the rise," noted Brenda Burt, coordinator of the Multicultural Information Center, which handles on-campus racist disputes. "If we overlook or sweep this under the rug, then something else could happen. We should look at it for what it is, and use it as a tool to prevent further incidents." The people who committed this hateful crime should be apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The University community should take steps to ensure that similar — or worse — incidents do not occur. But a needless escalation of racial tension on this campus would be equally destructive. The actions of this bigoted minority certainly do not reflect the racial climate of the University as a whole. Accepting the notion that racist hos­ tility infects every comer of the 40 Acres would only spread further hatred, thus playing right into the hands of those who perpetrated this disgrace to our campus. B ric * s\ A Time T o A b sta in Yesterday, this Editorial Board formally asked Student Government leaders to resolve serious conflicts of interest which arose due to their positions on the Student Services Fee Committee. The problem stems from SG President Parisa Fatehi's decision to appoint her­ self and SG Vice President Eric Opiela to the Student Services Fee Committee, an independent body which controls the nearly $73,000 of fee money which is allocated to Student Government each year. In addition, this committee now controls the Texas Union Fee, a power that rested with students until this year's legislative session. Fatehi's involvement with the Texas Union in the past, her current position on the Union Board of Directors, and her vocal support of a fee increase are all good reasons why she shouldn't cast a vote on this critical student issue. In the interests of protecting student integrity, we have asked Fatehi and Opiela to abstain from voting on issues which could present a conflict of inter­ est. In today7s Firing Line section, you can read their response. Disappointed? So are we. Fatehi and Opiela chose to postpone discussion of the real issue of impropri­ ety, instead offering a this poor explanation for their actions: everyone else has done it, so why shouldn't we? They state that serving on this committee is an "expected duty" of their posi­ tion. Fatehi and Opiela might do well to read the SG Constitution or the Texas Education Code, neither of which state they must serve on the Fee Committee. And why not? Because it's simply inappropriate for students with vested interests in fee money to serve on a committee which allocates it. At the very least, they should abstain from votes which could affect organizations they serve in. Opiela has stated publicly that he will abstain from voting on issues which could compromise his integrity, including the Student Government budget. Fatehi has stated that she will make a decision in the next few days. Fatehi s indecision, after Opiela's readiness to solve this problem, is confus­ ing at the least and deeply troubling at the worst. But to the Editorial Board, the decision seems very clear. While the student body elected Fatehi and Opiela to represent their interests, having both of them serve on the committee is not only redundant and unnecessary, but inappro­ priate given the financial stake their organizations have in the allocation of stu­ dent fee money. At the very least, if both choose to continue to serve on the committee, they must not use the inappropriate actions of their predecessors to justify continu­ ing such a gross conflict of interest. In short, Fatehi must abstain from voting on issues that could compromise her integrity — the Texas Union Fee and the Student Government budget. ft/3 M a k in g P r o g r e s s W ith AAS Asian-American studies has a connection straight During World War II, in some notably fierce fight­ ing, a regiment of Japanese-American soldiers was ordered to free another battalion of American sol­ diers—who were mostly from Texas — that had been trapped by Nazi soldiers and artillery. In the fighting, there were over 800 Japanese-American casualties including, among others, my father. Although my father survived that battle, 140 Japanese-American soldiers were killed in it. To show their appreciation for having been rescued, the Texans presented a special plaque to the surviving Japanese-American soldiers proclaiming them to be honorary Texans. But the souls of many honorary Texans are still seeking a final resting place in the Lone Star State. It is stories such as these and many many more that an Asian-American Studies Center at UT would seek to understand. It is true that we face some challenges to the Asian- American Studies program at UT. Being multidisciplinary, an AAS program must somehow bring together scholars who are used to working with widely varyiag methodologies and theoretical approaches. Furfietmore, the range of ethnic groups included under the rubric of Asian American is almost dauntingjy diverse. Given this immense potential for varying opinions, it is perhaps A r t h u r S a k a m o t o G u e s t C o lu m n is t not so surprising that there was also some significant disagreement about the relative strengths and weak­ nesses of the candidates who applied for our AAS director's position the last spring. While the search committee did of course provide Interim Dean Lan- glois with a ranked list of candidates, her decision was that the first-ranked candidate did not suffi­ ciently possess the broad range of skills and expertise that she felt were necessary for a permanent director. Needless to say, many students disagreed with her decision, but I believe that she made it in good faith and with the best intentions in mind for the long-run success of AAS at our University. Over the summer, an advisory committee consist­ ing of students and faculty were able to hire a visit- ing professor who is teaching Asian-American liter­ ature courses during this academic year. In fact, dur­ ing this semester, we are offering six Asian-Ameri- can courses; this exceeds the number of course offer­ ings at some other Asian-American Studies centers that have been existence longer than we have. It should also be noted that the advisory committee worked together to develop a visiting guest lecture series that will be bringing in prominent AAS speak­ ers and performers from around the country. During this academic year, there will be plenty of Asian-American events and activities for students to participate in, and this reflects the cooperation between students, faculty and administrators work- ing together as well as the financial support of sever­ al of our colleges. Despite the usual budget limitations that the Uni­ versity faces, it has appointed a staff member for the program, some office space, an undergraduate research position, and continues to work on plans for a concentration in Asian-American studies. The search for a director will continue this year, but we are also concurrently searching for an additional assistant professor position as well. After these two positions are filled, three additional AAS faculty positions will become available in the near future. Frankly speaking, I do not know of any department or academic unit on campus which has been given five new faculty positions. In short, despite the dis­ agreements and disappointments of the events from last spring, the University of Texas is clearly com­ mitted to AAS and continues to move the program forward with students and faculty working together. Let me conclude by assuring you that I will not rest until all of the souls of the honorary Texans have been brought home to their rightful place in an AAS Center at the University of Texas. Sakamoto is the interim director of the Asian-American Studies program at the University. T he F irin g L ine Racism striKKKes again During this past Labor Day, acts of racism once again occurred on The U niversity of Texas at Austin cam pus. P red om inan tly m inority org anization s including Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Innervi- sions G ospel Choir, Alpha Lam bda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc., African A m erican M ale Summit and Kappa Alpha Psi F raternity, Inc. w ere targeted. These organizations' posters (placed in the M alcolm X lounge of Jester W est) w ere defaced with the let­ ters "K K K ", representing the w hite suprem acist group, Ku Klux K lan. O th er advertisem ents of m inority groups placed around campus were ripped off of kiosks and the Jester West announcem ent board. Racism does exist; it is a reality. However, we as a collective body of organizations work to educate the com m unity around us and prom ote unity through diversity. We are all citizens and should not be sub­ jected to a society of hatred. We, as Longhorns, should not allow our environ­ ment to be polluted with such malice. At this time of year, cam pus spirit organizations are prom oting school pride. How can one be proud of an institution of "higher learning" that is saturated with ignorance and intolerance? If the U niversity cultivates a liberal atm osphere and an educational environm ent, then why are there continual displays of racism that get swept under the carpet? Repeated racist incidents range from the com ­ m ents of Lino G raglia to threats on past Student Governm ent president M arlen W hitley's life. M oreover, we are forced to have 24-hour security guards to pre­ vent the defacem ent of the soon-to-be unveiled M ar­ tin Luther King, Jr. statue. We, as a whole, the entire University of Texas community, need to make a clear statem ent. We will NOT tolerate this degradation, we w ill NOT ignore the defacem ent of anything, and we w ill NOT overlook this ignorance and crstélty. We are Longhorns, and we strive to be proud of the legacy we will leave behind. Will you be proud of yours? 4 Domonique M cClendon Radio Television Film senior Editor's note: This Firing Line was subm itted on behalf o f Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Delta Sigm a Theta Sorority, Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., 'Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Longhorn American Indian Council, Students For Equity & Diversity, Kappa Delta Chi Sorority, Inc., Uni­ versity o f Texas Hispanic Journalists, Omega Delta Phi, Fraternity, Inc., Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Inc., M exican-A m erican Health P rofessions O rganization, Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Fraternity, Inc., Gamma Phi Delta Christian Fraternity, Inc., Sigma Phi Gamma, Texas Union A frican A m erican C ulture Com m ittee, African American M ale Summit, M inority Com puter Sci­ ence Student Organization, N ational Society v f Black * 4 M Engineers, N ational A ssociation o f Black Jou rn alists, Texas Pan-H ellenic Coun­ cil, B lack Student Alliance, Hispanic Affairs Agency, African American A ffairs Agency, Black Women's Coalition, Student Gov­ ernment and the M ulticultural Information Center. SG says no conflicts on Fee commit* tee We appreciate the proactive role the Texan ed itor­ ial board has taken this year in serving as the campus watchdog, looking critically at how student fee monies are allocated and spent, and inform ing the student body as to any possible im proprieties in this process. Yesterday's column "C onflicts of Interest" how ev­ er, gave the perception of im propriety when in fact there is none. The column said Parisa "appointed herself and Eric to the Student Services Fee Com ­ mittee, when in fact, these positions are a part of the expected duties of the both the student body presi­ dent and vice president when they run for office every spring. Exceptions have been made before, but only once in the last 15 years has the president not been on the fee committee. Serving on the Fee Committee is one of the most im portant jobs the student body elected us to do. In fulfilling this responsibility, we are already under­ taking steps to increase student aw areness about, and input in, the actions of the Fee C om m ittee by such efforts as establishing a Fee C om m ittee Web site that details where students' money goes. We hope that as many students as possible can have a real say in how their money is spent. W e encourage anyone who is interested to attend the Fee C om m it­ tee s m eetings.

The court upheld a 1997 decision by a federal court in Kentucky rejecting a First Amendment case m ade by two former Kentucky State University stu­ dents. Charles Kincaid and Capri Coffer, both former contributors to KSU stu­ dent publications, accused a university administrator, Betty Gibson, vice presi­ dent of student affairs, of violating their constitutional and contractual rights. The plaintiffs contested the confisca­ tion of 2,000 yearbooks and alleged that KSU administrators attempted to regulate the content of their student newspaper, TJie Thorobted News. A ccording to Judge Joseph M. Hood, the yearbooks were confiscated at the direction of Gibson because the yearbook was of poor quality. Gibson objected to the purple, non­ school color cover of the book and to the lack of captions for several of the pictures. Gibson also objected to the inclu sion of m any c u rre n t event images unrelated to KSU. Bruce Orwin, attorney for the stu­ dents, said he believes the book was confiscated for a different reason. O rw in said the books w ere locked away as an act of retaliation to embar­ rass the KSU stu d e n t publications coordinator. “We show that the reason they did­ n't release The book was because there w as a dispute betw een the student adviser of the publication and [Gib­ son]/' he said. O rw in a d d ed th at w hen L auren Cullen, the faculty adviser, refused to censor a letter to the editor that was critical of the president of the universi­ ty, she was demoted to a secretarial position in the housing office. The three-judge panel of the 6th Cir­ cuit dismissed the students' claims that their First Amendment rights had been violated, citing a 1988 Supreme Court Case, Hazelwood School District vs. Kuhlmeier. The Hazelwood decision ruled in favor of high school adm inistrators w ho censored articles of a studen t newspaper. As described in the 6th Circuit's offi­ cial opinion, the H azelw ood C ourt ruled that as long as the publication in question is not a public forum and as long as the administration has reason­ able cause, it is open to scrutiny and editorial control by the school adminis­ tration. "We want to reiterate that our year­ book is not considered to be a public forum," said Hinfred McDuffie, KSU vice president of university advance­ ment, in a statement issued by KSU. "It is sim ply a m eans of actively com ­ m em orating stu d en t activities and events of the year." M ike H eistan d , atto rn ey at the Washington-based Student Press Law Center, finds the Hazelwood applica­ tion to a university-level case frighten­ ing. "The Suprem e C ourt d id n 't even apply the Hazelwood to college stu­ dent media — no court in history has," Heistand said. "There are 2,000 copies of the yearbook that have been locked up by governm ent officials that will never see the light of day. You don't get a stronger case of censorship than that.'

Nellie Mae Corp., a national stu­ dent loan financing organization, released a report last month indi­ cating that average undergraduate stu d en t cr e d it card debt has decreased by $36 from 1998's high of $ 1 ,8 7 9 . N ellie M ae com piled credit history data from students who a p p lied for p riv a te loan s through their program. Nellie Mae also reported that 60 p ercen t of th eir u n d e rg ra d u a te applicants own credit cards. Despite the number of cardhold­ ers, Bank of America officials said 69 percent of college students are getting credit cards with the inten­ tion of establishing good credit his­ tory. “We view the student popula­ tion as responsible users of con­ su m er c r e d it," said C on n ie St. John, sp o k esp erson for Bank of America. "There are a lot of myths about students being irresponsible — we have not found that to be true." Referring to a 1998 credit card survey conducted by the Institu- Alan Poizner/DAILY TEXAN STAFF A n n ib a T r a u in n Anmka Trevino, an archrtectural engineering freshman, completes a credit card application Monday on the West Mall Bank of America claims dim 69 percent of collage student, will, credit card, applied to establish a good cmdh histoiy , tion for Higher Education Policy, St. John said 59 percent of all col­ lege students reported paying their b a lan ces in full each m on th , w h ereas only 40 p ercen t of the general population reported the same. An even greater number of stu­ den ts — 81 p ercen t — rep o rted paying m ore than the minimum balance each month. "I called the credit card company and lowered my limit from $2,500 to $500," Sean O'Driscoll, a senior public relations student, said. "I didn't want to have to worry about huge balances accruing." But som e stud ent finance in stitu ­ tions, such as N ellie M ae, find that d e b t a m o n g c o lle g e s tu d e n ts is alarm ingly high.

Judge declares mistrial in abortion clinic case During the trial, the governm ent so u g h t to id e n tify the in d iv id u a l defendants as among those who ille­ gally blocked entrances to the clinics. The d efen d an ts d en ied illeg ally blocking entrances, and defense attor­ neys tried to prove prosecution wit­ nesses had no direct knowledge that the defendants did. The d efend an ts inclu de the Rev. Philip Benham, director of Operation Rescue, and Mehaffie of Dayton, direc­ tor of Return to Truth. Associated Press DAYTON, Ohio — A federal judge declared a mistrial Monday in a law­ suit by the government against Dallas- based Operation Rescue and six pro­ testers accused of illegally blocking entrances to abortion clinics, defense attorneys said. "I do believe it's a victory," said David Mehaffie, one of the defendants. "God has given a victory over a federal government that has wholeheartedly endorsed, protected and even propa­ gated infanticide." But Vickie Saporta, executive direc­ tor of the National Abortion Federa­ tion, said the mistrial merely amounts to a postponement and that she is con­ fident a new trial will be set soon. She said she believes the clinics "will get the justice they deserve" and that women will be able to use them "with­ out being threatened and harassed." "We have an excellent case, excellent witnesses and are confident we will prevail," Saporta said. The U.S. Departm ent Justice brought the case in March 1998 under the 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. During the jury trial, which began Sept. 2, the government accused the defendants of blocking access to clinics in Cincinnati, Dayton and Kettering, a Dayton suburb, during protests in July 1997.' The mistrial came after several hours of private meetings between LI.S. District Court Judge Walter Rice and attorneys for both sides. Rice made no announcement in court. Defense attorney David Langdon said the mistrial involved a procedural issue with a witness whom prosecu­ tors were preparing to have testify. The defense asked for the mistrial because the defendants weren't noti­ fied about the breadth of what the wit­ ness was going to testify about, said defense attorney Tom Condit. "The court didn't cast blame on any­ body," Condit said. "It just happened." Defense attorneys would provide no further information about the dispute. Shelley Jackson, who is prosecuting the case for the Justice D epartm ent, would not comment. Defense attorneys said they expect a new trial, possibly as early as this fall. The g ov ern m en t has prosecu ted dozens of abortion protesters under the 1994 law, which bans the use of force, threats or blockades to interfere w ith access to rep rod u ctive health care. ouch!

He's not doing badly, thank you. On a night his old friend Elway was inducted into the Broncos' ring of fame, Marino led the Dolphins to a 38- 21 win over Denver, the first step in a quest for his own elusive Super Bowl ring. Marino had major help from the Dolphins' special teams unit, which blocked a punt and a field goal to set up 10 points as Miami spoiled the start of Denver's quest for a third straight Super Bowl and set out on their own quest for Marino's first ring in his 17- year career. "It's like when Michael Jordan left," said comerback Terrell Buckley, whose 43-yard return with a blocked field goal set up Miami's first touchdown. "Griese, he can play. But John Elway can flat out get it done." Marino was his u s u a l efficient self, ' 'gfthg 15%F-23 for 215 yards with two TD passes, — a 12-yarder to rookie fullback Rob Konrad and a 4-yarder to O.J. McDuffie. Karim Abdul-Jabbar and another rookie, J .J . Johnson, had 1-yard TD runs and Olindo Mare added a 37-yard field goal as the Dolphins ended Den­ ver's 24-game regular season home winning streak that dated to December 1996 and avenged a 38-3 loss here in the playoffs last January. Griese, selected over Bubby Brister by coach Mike Shanahan to start in Elway's place, wasn't bad, finishing 24-of-40 for 270 yards and throwing TD passes of 61, 11 and 4 yards to Ed McCaffrey, the last coming with 34 sec­ onds to play.

Makinano and Ramirez* mean­ while, both madfe strong contri- ' buttons in the defensive end for Texas. The Longhorns dropped their first game of the season during the tournament and had their three-game winning streak snapped in a 2-0 loss to No. 14 Wisconsin on Friday.

Hasek return to ice for first time since controversial goal I AMHERST, N.Y. — Buffalo goaltender Dominik Sabres Hasek skated Monday for the first time since Brett Hull's con­ troversial goal gave the Dallas Stars the Stanley Cup. Hasek announced his retire­ ment after the 1999-2000 season while in Prague, Czech Republic, on July 30. He had surgery in Munich, Germany, on Aug. 19 to repair a slight hernia. Hasek, who was sidelined for several games last season by a groin injury but returned to lead the Sabres to the finals, said he plans to join the team for a full practice Thursday. "I feel pretty tired," Hasek said after working out for 40 minutes. "I did everything that the doctors told me; I took one month's rest, so I hope the groin will be OK for the season." Hasek, 34, made the final deci­ sion to quit just before the play­ offs. Known for flopping to the ice to block shots, and for tossing his stick and grabbing for the puck with two hands, Hasek was paid $7 million last season.

Mike Hampton joined teammate Jose Lima in the 20-win club, the H ouston and Astros set a club record by w inning their 11th straight game, 13-2 over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night. éttt f f f ft ifi "I just want it to continue another two months, said Hampton (20-3), who won his 11th consecutive derision since a June 24 loss to Cincinnati. "I think it's my best year, it's been the most consistent year and that's what you shoot for, consistency." He allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings with six strikeouts. Some say he has a good chance to win the NL Cy Young Award. "I don't know, I'll trade the Cy Young for the World Series MVP anytime," Hampton said. From a personal standpoint, that's great. But today I just focused on getting a win anyway we could. We knew the Reds had already won, that was the only thing that was important." Houston maintained a three-game lead over second-place Cincinnati, which beat Florida 7-4 earlier in the day. "It's very satisfying for all of us but espe­ cially for Hampy," Astros manager Larry Dierker said. "He did it in his ow n style, get­ ting ground balls, getting double plays when he was in trouble, helping himself with the bat and running the bases." Lima (20-7) got his 20th win Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. The last time teammates won 20 in the same season was in 1993, when Atlanta's Greg Maddux (20-10) and Tom Glavine (22-6) did it along with San Francisco's John Burkett (22-7) and Bill Swift (21-8). "I'm so happy for him," Lima said. "I am a good teammate. My throat is still scratchy from screaming so much for him. I am really proud of him. The way this pitching staff has performed is amazing."

Dillon, a former walk-on who earned a scholarship earlier this season, has been the Horns' special teams specialist. He's on every one of Texas' special teams units and has blocked three punts through the first three games this year, which is already a Texas single-sea­ son record. Brown, who admits to mispro­ nouncing Dillon's first name for more than a year, has been forced to learn the correct pronunciation thanks to Dillon's special teams superiority. "I think I called him Terrell [like Terrell Davis of the Denver Bron­ cos] for a year. His name is Terral [like Terral Owens of the San Fran­ cisco 49ersj," Brown said of Dillon, who joined the Horns in 1997 after transferring from Navy. “You start blocking those punts, and you'll get the name right." And if Dillon continues to block punts and make nearly every spe­ cial teams tackle like he has been, Texas quarterback Major Apple- white says he may earn an honor that's much greater than the correct enunciation of his name. “I think after he graduates, they'll probably have a Terral Dil­ lon special teams award named after him," Applewhite said. Boos or bottles? The downpour of boos that New Jersey native Chris Simms received from the Rutgers crowd this past weekend did nothing to divert M ajor Applewhite's dreams of returning home to Louisiana for a game in his old stomping grounds. Applewhite, who grew up in Baton Rouge, said he would love the opportunity to play Louisiana State at Tiger Stadium, and Apple- white said the greeting he would get from Tiger fans could be much worse than that which Simms was subjected to this past weekend. “Boo me?". Applewhite said sar­ castically when asked whether or not LSU faithful would do just that. "There was a walk-on named Roman Colvern who blocked a punt against LSU a few years ago and ran it in for a touchdown," the Texas QB recounted as he told a story from an Alabama-LSU game he once attended. “And then if you slow down the replay, you can see two bottles being thrown from the stands of the student section." last week, and Mack Brown want­ ed to make sure that the Horns knew that practice does make per­ fect. "Leonard probably could" have played," Brown said. "He looked pretty good in pregame, but he had missed enough practice that we wanted to send the message to our team that practice is important and we wanted to see if we could win without him." Davis should be back at full speed this week and ready to play Sept. 18 against Rice.

Quarterback Mike Moschetti, who bore the brunt of the criticism over the meltdown against the Rams as a result of his three interceptions, threw for 465 yards and two scores in the win. "Mike played a great game," head coach Gary Barnett said. “He was a completely different player than he was the week before. We were just much more ready to play this week as a team." But Barnett said the Colorado defense will have to perform much better this week for the Buffs to have a chance in their conference opener Saturday against Kansas. "There w asn't a whole lot of defense played Saturday [against San Jose State]," he said. The fact that the Buffalo offense scored four quick touchdowns to take a commanding 28-0 lead proba­ bly contributed to the loss of focus by the defense, Barnett said. Cornhuskers' cakewalk could end against California After dealing their second consec­ utive beating of the season Saturday, a 45-0 walkover against California, the No. 4 Cornhuskers might actual­ ly get a live opponent when they host Southern Mississippi in Lin­ coln, Neb. this weekend. Though still banished to the “oth­ ers receiving votes" portion of The Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls, the 2-0 Golden Eagles have ascended in Jeff Sagarin's computer poll, which is one of several computer rating sys­ tems used by the Bowl Champi­ onship Series selection committee. Sagarin ranks the Cornhuskers No. 1 in the country. to No.9 That ranking may be a bit high for Southern Miss, which comes off a 7- 5 season topped by a loss to Idaho in the Humanitarian Bowl. Still, Nebraska head coach Frank Solich said the Eagles will test his team, which has outscored its two oppo­ nents 86-7 this year. "They have a lot of skilled athletes on both sides of the ball, and they'll be ready to play," he said. Iowa State looking to maintain perfect start Iowa State will try to continue its surprising early-season success Sat­ urday against UNLV in Las Vegas. Head coach Dan McCamey said the team's 2-0 start, its best since 1985, is a testament to his coaching staff's excellent preparation and improve­ ment over his tenure. “I've known since the day I took this job that my staff and I were right for the job," McCamey said. But after mowing down Indiana State and surviving rival Iowa 17-10 Saturday, McCarney the Cyclones will face their toughest test of the young season against the Rebels. said UNLV is also 2-0 and showing signs of life under new coach John two Robinson. Robinson had tenures with USC, as well as a stint with the then-Los Angeles Rams in the NFL, before coming to rebuild the Vegas program. The Rebels went 0-11 in 1998.

UNLV's newfound success will make them a difficult foe for the Cyclones, McCamey said. “We've got a major challenge in front of us," he said. "But I know our players are ready, and I am too." Kansas State continues to climb polls The No. 16 Wildcats expect a modest step up in class when they take on UT-E1 Paso Saturday in Manhattan. K-State crashed Big East doormat Temple 40-0 in their season opener this past Saturday, after taking a bye for the first week of play. Head coach Bill Snyder said UTEP is an "interesting" team that has some weapons, namely its accurate signal caller Rocky Perez, who sports a gaudy 67 percent comple­ tion on the young campaign. Snyder also said his staff will experiment with different lineups on the offensive line in practice this week to try and take some of the pressure off inexperienced quarter­ back Jonathan Beasley. bled with Jason Taylor recovering in the end zone for the Dolphins' final score. “I think if everyone had played like Brian Griese today, we would have won the gam e," Shanahan said. "I was pleased with the way he handled himself against an excellent defensive team. He showed a lot of poise and a lot of composure." But his arm didn't present the fear factor Elway's did, allowing Miami to play eight men close to the line of scrimmage to shut down Terrell Davis, who finished with 61 yards on 19 carries." Late in the first half, for example, Griese underthrew a wide-open McCaffrey, who had to come back for the ball and dropped it. Griese started off like another Elway, hitting McCaffrey between Brock Marion and Shawn Wooden for the 61-yard score on the first series of the game. The Broncos held their 7-0 lead into the second quarter and looked like they were about to go ahead 10- 0. But Lorenzo Bromell blocked Jason Elam 's 44-yard field goal and attempt Buckley returned it 43 yards to the Denver 36. Terrell Four plays later, Abdul-Jabbar took it into the end zone to tie the score. Then Marino took the Dolphins 80 yards in seven plays, highlighted by a 40-yard pass to Tony Martin, the new speed receiver who finished with four catches for 101 yards. Marino capped that one with a 12- yard pass to Konrad, all alone in the right flat. “This is real sweet," said Martin, who played on the Atlanta team that lost in the Super Bowl to Denver last January. “They're world champions and any time you can break their streak here, that's exceptional. Dan showed why he's a Hall of Famer." On Miami's next possession, Greg Jeffries partially blocked Tom Rouen's punt, setting up Mare's field goal with one second left in the half making it 17-7. Johnson scored to cap the opening drive of the second half, 65 yards in nine plays that give Denver a 24-7 lead. Griese's second TD pass cut it back to 10. since an 11-gamer from June 24- July 4, 1997. "I had my worst day as a profes­ sional against Randy Johnson, but Hampton was just as good and he brings some offense," said the Phillies' Rico Brogna, who was 0- for-4. "As far as I'm concerned, he's the best left-handed starter we've seen this year." Philadelphia starter Joe Grahe (0- 3) left after three innings with a blister on his right index finger. He allowed three runs — two earned — and two hits. Grahe started in place of Curt Schilling, who missed his turn because of discomfort in his right shoulder. Kevin Jordan's RBI single put Philadelphia ahead in the first, but Jeff Bagwell singled home a run in the bottom half. Sacrifice flies by Carl Everett and Ken Caminiti gave Houston a 3-1 lead in the third. Craig Biggio's 54th double — the most in the majors — drove in another ran in the fourth, and Hampton singled in a ran in the fifth. The pitcher is hitting .288 (19- for-66) with nine RBIs. Bob Abreu had an RBI ground- out in the sixth, but the Astros made it 7-2 in the bottom half on D aryle W ard's RBI double and Tony Eusebio's run-scoring infield single.

Woeful in Waco Despite consecutive last-play losses, Baylor wants to put past behind them Jonathan Green Daily Texan Staff BIG 12 SOUTH If not for bad luck, Baylor head coach Kevin Steele might not have any luck at all. For the second time in as many games, Baylor lost on the last play of the game, falling 27-24 to UNLV in their home opener. Rather than kneeling on the ball to run out the clock, Steele opted to hand the ball off to Darrell Bush on first-and-goal from the eight yard line, with 12 sec­ onds remaining in the contest. Bush fumbled, and UNLV defensive back Kevin Thomas recovered the fumble and took it 99 yards for the game- winning score. "We want to be able to line up and score when we want to," Steele said of his play call. "I had one coach tell me that I had a better chance of win­ ning the Texas lottery than of that ever happening." In week one against Boston Col­ lege, the Bears lost in overtime, 30- 29, after failing to convert on an extra point, making the UNLV loss even more sour for those in Waco to swallow. Though starting out 0-2 is nothing new for Baylor, the way the first two games have gone may upset a few Bears fans. "The nicest comment I received was 'I love you' from my wife," Steele said. "And I think she was the only one that said that." Steele said that his squad has put the two painful losses behind them, as they eagerly await their confer- ence opener, Saturday in Norman, Okla., against the Sooners. Red Raiders endure early season injuries Texas Tech head coach Spike Dykes rattled off numerous names of injured Red Raiders in a press the most conference Monday, notable being junior running back Ricky Williams. Nevertheless, he said he still feels optimistic going into their second game without their star rasher in their home opener this Saturday against North Texas. Williams sprained his left knee in the Red Raiders' season opening loss to Arizona State, but his back­ up, James Easterling, rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns, as Tech beat Louisiana-Lafayette 38-17. "Not having Ricky Williams is always a bit of a letdown, but James Easterling came to the front as a run­ ner," Dykes said. The win especially pleased Dykes, since his Red Raiders played their second game in one week against the Ragin' Cajuns. They played on only five days rest since losing to Arizona State the previous Monday. "Playing two games in a week is a short turnaround," Dykes said. "The good thing is you don't have time to think about the loss." Rangers outlast K.C. in 10 innings Throwing error sparks four-run floodgate as Texas escapes Royals, 8-4 Associated Press of Oakland in the AL West. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It was a perfect example of why coaches tell players to ran out ground balls. When Juan Gonzalez ran out his grounder to third with one out in inning the 10th Monday night, reaching safely on Joe Randa's throwing error, it ignited a barrage of four unearned runs for the Texas Rangers. Roberto Kelly singled home Gon­ zalez with the go-ahead run, Kelly's second RBI of the night, and Texas went on to beat the Kansas City Royals 8-4. "You hope they do it all the time, but it's especially nice to see at that point in the game," said Texas man- ager Johnny Oates, whose team avoided being swept in four games by Kansas City for the first time since 1980. "At this level, it's not always done." After Gonzalez reached on Randa's error, Todd Zeile singled off Jose Santiago (2-4) and Kelly fol­ lowed with his RBI single. Zeile scored when first baseman Mike Sweeney booted Lee Stevens' grounder for an error. Kelly came home on Brad Rigby's wild pitch and one out later, Tom Goodwin added an RBI single to make it 8-4. "It just goes to show there really is not a routine play in baseball," said Royals manager Tony Muser, who was ejected in the top of the ninth for arguing a balk call. "You can't take anything for granted." John Wetteland (4-4) pitched two scoreless innings for the victory, which kept Texas 5 1 / 2 games ahead "I can't answer how important this game is. I just know it's very big," Oates said. "This might be the biggest game of the year for us, when we look back on it at the end of the year." Ivan Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and drove in three runs for Texas. With 104 runs scored and 102 RBIs, he became the eighth catcher in history with 100 runs and 100 RBIs in a season. "I'm an aggressive guy. I'm aggressive out there on the bases," Rodriguez said. "I'm not done yet this year, either." Rodriguez put the Rangers ahead 1-0 with an RBI double in the first inning, then added a two-run shot to center field in the fifth off Jose Rosado for a 4-1 lead. Rosado gave up four runs on eight hits in seven innings, walking one and striking out six. Texas starter John Burkett pitched 6 1 /3 innings, giving up four runs on five hits with three walks and two strike­ outs. After Rey Sanchez's RBI ground- out made it 4-2 in the fifth, the Roy­ als tied the game in the seventh. Jeremy Giambi led off with a single and advanced to second on Sal Fasano's walk. After a sacrifice bunt, Johnny Damon hit an RBI groundout and Sanchez had an RBI single. Kansas City's Jermaine Dye hit an RBI double in the bottom of the first to tie the score at 1, but the Rangers went up 2-1 on Kelly's sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. Gonzalez was 2-for-5 with a dou­ ble and two runs scored for the Rangers. Dye was 2-for-5 with two doubles for Kansas City.

Choco Meza, who was fired from her housing authority job in March in the wake of the allegations, said she did nothing wrong. The San Antonio Express-News used the Texas Public Information Act to obtain documents from an investiga­ tion into the matter. In a sworn statement, Meza said a subordinate staff member erroneously issued a housing certificate to Sylvia Arce-Garaa's son, Israel Trevino, and his pregnant fiancee, Candale Laxson. Several housing authority employ­ ees told officials that in 1998 Meza instructed them to find homes through the Section 8 program for Trevino and Laxson and two other families even though they were not on the waiting list. There were 11,000 to 12,000 fami­ lies on the waiting list for 8 Section housing dur­ ing 1998. H o u s i n g authority doc- u m e n t s obtained by the Express- News show Trevino and fiancee his for applied and received a certificate for Section 8 housing in July 1998 on the day they met with Meza in her office to talk about subsidized housing. Cisneros The couple moved into a one-bed­ room apartment about three weeks later, qualifying for a monthly rent sub­ sidy of $112. Arce-Garda and Meza are longtime acquaintances who worked on Cis­ neros' staff while he was President Clinton's secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Arce-Garcia has worked for Cis­ neros since his days as San Antonio mayor in the 1980s and is now his exec­ utive assistant at the Spanish-language television network Univision. She was named in a 21-count 1997 indictment that accused Cisneros of concealing information from the FBI about payments he made to former mistress Linda Jones. Spedal prosecu­ tors are dropping the charges against Arce-Garda. Meza left HUD in 19% and returned to San Antonio to become a senior vice president at the housing authority. Her duties induded supervision of the Sec­ tion 8 program , w hich uses HUD money to help low-income families lease housing. A SAHA management aide, Viola Leal, told top agency officials in November 1998 that Meza instructed her to admit Trevino and Laxson to the subsidized program and help them find housing, even though they were not on the waiting list. SAHA considered the allegation a potentially serious violation of its poli- des. Days later, Meza was suspended with pay, and the agency hired an out­ side investigator, attorney Peggy Pou, to interview witnesses and assemble documents. The investigation also covered alle- gatións that Meza applied for a corpo­ rate credit card in violation of SAHA policies. Meza was terminated after Pou finished her investigation. Several housing authority employ­ ees claimed Meza instructed them or pressured them to accommodate Trevi­ no and Laxson and two other families who weren't on the waiting list. According to M eza's statem ent, Trevino and Laxson met with her and she told them about the Section 8 pro­ gram and advised them about the waiting list. She said she called Leal to her office and introduced the couple to her. "W hen I asked Viola to get them processed, I meant to get them to fill out the necessary paperwork to get them into the Section 8 system and place them on the waiting list," Meza's statement said. "I never asked Viola to issue out a certificate."

These marks, which resemble those of the crucified Jesus Christ, are known as stigmata. Though used in a fictional story, the actual phenomenon has been recorded 22 times since the early 12th century. In reality, when these or any other gen uine relig io u s ph en o m en a do occur, it is the responsibility of the Catholic church to investigate for any heaven-sent significance. Thus in Stigmata, the Vatican rushes bather A n d rew K ierning (G abriel Byrne) off to Pittsburgh to disprove Fiankie s case, as they endeavor to do with all cases. Father Kieming's character adds a very intriguing element to the film, for not only is he a priest but also a scien­ tist working for die church. As a result, his faith seems perpetually haunted by his belief in logic, and though he wish­ es to help Frankie through her torment, his doubt hinders him from doing any­ thing at all. Suffice it to say that this character's intrigue and full-dim ensionality is wholly due to Byme's performance.

Remember how great it was? Remem­ ber the Sega Saturn? Remember how unlike the Genesis it was? So does the entire gaming industry, which is exact­ ly why so m any eyes are skeptically trained on the launch of Sega's newest system, the Dreamcast. Released last Thursday along with a ho st of gam es, the D ream cast is a lre a d y silencing d o u b ters. Sega announced $97 million in hardw are and software sales in the system's first 24 hours. Retailers sold out of systems and m em ory cards w ithin minutes, some not expecting to be restocked until late October. Are the games any good? Is this con­ sum er frenzy justified? Is it the new Furby? Absolutely. A typical response to seeing the Dreamcast in action for the fust time is a strin g of w anton profanities, fol­ lowed quickly by a blasphemy or two. Depending on die game in question, the graphics, sound and play quality are unbelievable. A fair number of the games for the system are home ver­ sions of arcade games, often with visu­ als and features humbling their coin­ operated brethren. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the system is the 56k modem that it com es with. For now the m odem 's Internet capabilities are limited to Web brow sing, e-mail, and m inor gam e patches, but online gaming is expected to have a dramatic impact on the sys­ tem starting early next year.

Scien­ tists hope the treatment will reinvig- orate thinking and memory. "We've all heard the dogma that we lose 10,000 neurons a day after the age of 20," said T u szyn sk i. W ell, that is false. That doesn't happen." "To our surprise, this technique nearly com p letely reversed" the effects of aging on a group of key brain cells that had shrunk in elder­ ly Rhesus monkeys, said Dr. Mark H. Tuszynski of the University of California, San Diego. Tuszynski is the senior author of a study appearing Tuesday in the Proceedings of the National Acade­ m y of Sciences. The s tu d ie s rein force a n ew u n d erstan d in g of h ow the brain An actual count of the cells in the cortex, a key area in the thinking part of the brain, show s that verv few cells are lost with age, he said. Instead, he said, his team found that it was control neurons in anoth­ er part of the brain, called the basal forebrain, that were most dramati­ cally affected by aging. These cells, Tuszynski said, had shrunk in size and had stopped making some reg­ ulatory chem icals, a change that seriously affects the thinking cortex. "These cells are like the air traffic ground, deeper in the ¿ I t f K* " s ^ a r c h e V ’ - T h e ^ ’" ' ” re s e a rc h e r. " T h e y are on the ground, deeper in the brain, control­ ling the activities of cells up there in cortex.

The researchers found that about 40 p e rc e n t of the basal fo reb rain cells could not be detected in old monkeys, and the other 60 percent had shrunk in size by 10 percent But th e c e lls w ere n o t d e a d , Tuszynski said. By inserting genes for n erv e g ro w th factor, or NGF, into the brain, he said, the cells were revived and restored to nearly full vigor. "W e restored the num ber of cells we could detect to about 92 percent of normal for a young monkey and size of th e cells w as re s to re d to w ithin 3 percent," he said. But the therapy is so prom ising that the researchers applied in June to the Food and D rug A dm inistra­ tion to test the gene therapy tech­ nique in hum ans w ith A lzheim er's disease. If th e FDA g iv es its a p p ro v a l, NGF genes will be injected into the brains of Alzheimer's patients to see if they will restore som e cognitive pow ers gradually destroyed by the disease, he said. A lz h e im e r's d ise a se d o e s n o t occur in animals exactly how it does in hum ans, said Tuszynski, so the only w'ay to test the gene therapy technique is in hum an patients.
