Amid added security, Americans stand proud By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — A deadly shooting attack the at the Los Angeles airport breached unprecedented security precautions imposed nationwide to protect American lives on the Fourth of July. But otherwise, from one coast to the other Thursday, the holiday was celebrated without any major security problems reported. The military temporarily reactivated post- Sept. 11 combat jet patrols over Wash­ and New ington York. Security zones were imposed at pub­ lic places such as New York's Empire State Building and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The shooting at the El A1 ticket counter at the Los Angeles air­ port was character­ ized by the FBI as likely not connected with terrorists. We’re using our bomb squad, our aviation units, our harbor patrol. The joint terrorist task force is deployed throughout the city. Commissioner Ray Kelly, New York City Police There was unprece­ dented security on the National Mall, where more than 200.000 people — President Busn among them — watched one of the counfay's premier fireworks displays. Bush, along with family members and friends, watched the fireworks from the south balcony of the White House. Earlier, the president joined a group of veterans celebrating on the courthouse square in Ripley, W.Va. U.S. Park Police spokesman Scott Fear said there were no security-related incidents, as 2.000 police officers scrutinized the crowd, searched bags, ice coolers and backpacks at two dozen checkpoints along the Mall, which stretches from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol. The crowd was about a third smaller than last year's celebration, with stretches of lawn notice­ ably empty. Around the Lincoln Memorial, a police officer in the K-9 unit wTiiled away the twilight by tossing a Frisbee to his bomb-sniff­ ing dog. In Los Angeles, a gunman killed three people at Israel's El A1 airlines ticket counter at the Tom Bradley International Terminal before an El A1 security guard shot the gunman.

Rt*p. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, delivered the keynote speech and warned revelers to be wary of threats to their civil liberties and indi­ vidual rights. "We celebrate the Bill of Rights on the fourth of July as much as anything else," 1 X>ggett said. Doggett later commented on the unique­ n e s s of this July Fourth over past celebrations. I think you can't celebrate July Fourth vs ithout reflecting on what happened on Sept. 11," he said. "But it's also important to address not only the threats from abroad, but also threats from within — those that want to saenfice our liberties." About 300 people marched in the parade down East Side Drive to Little Stacy Park, where the picnic was held afterward with free drinks, barbecue and music provided by the South Austin Jug Band and tne South Austin Gospel Choir. State Rep. Elliott Naishtat, D-Austin, used the event to encourage citizens to get involved on a community level. "We're celebrating our liberties and our free­ doms, but also our responsibilities," he said. Mayor Gus Garcia also attended the event, along with Mayor Pro Tern Jackie Goodman and City Council member Raul Alvarez. Garcia related the character of South Austin to the celebration of the day.

Cameron Jordan/ Daily Texan Staff Study: College ethics training inadequate INSIDE Business, journalism seen as most unethical professions, poll says By Patrick Timmons Daily Texan Staff A recent survey of college stu­ dents found that ethics training at U s universities may undermine v alues learned at home and in secondary school. The National Association of Schola» which explicitly privi-, leges "Siid a. fends "the Western intellectual heritage," asked Zogbv International — a group that tracks public opinion in North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia and Europe to question college students about tne type of ethics instruc­ tion they received from their pro­ fessors. The report, which sur­ veyed 401 randomly chosen col­ lege seniors, particularly focused cm what students are taught about business ethics. When asked to compare the importance of various business practices, 38 percent of college students surveyed said if was more important to' recruit a diverse workforce of women and minorities than to provide clear and accurate business statements to stockholders and creditors. The NAS, which has about 4,000 members nationwide, is commit­ ted to academic programs that place merit above "sexual, racial and other non-scholarly criteria." The pollsters asked students to rank seven professions according to how ethical they perceive them to be: business, journalism, law, teaching, medicine, science, reli­ gion and the military. Almost 50 percent of students chose busi­ ness or journalism as the most unethical. In the wake of the Enron and WorldCom financial scandals, the NAS is using the report, conduct­ ed in April 2002, fa) make projec­ tions about the future of tne U.S. economy and higher education. NAS president Stephen H. Balch said the results indicate a growing trend of unethical instruction in U.S. universities.

Ross Byrd's father w as tied to the back of a pick­ up buck with a logging chain, then dragged and dismembered along a bumpy country road in Jasper County more than four years ago. White supremacist John W. "Bill" King, w ho became the first of tw o white men sentenced to death for the racially motivated murder of James Byrd Jr., has almost exhausted his appeals. Byrd's son, who initially favored the sentence, has since changed his mind. Joined by supporters and anti-death penalty advocates ttvat included Martin Luther King III, the younger Byrd traveled to the slate prison in Huntsville to lead the 24-hour fast and vigil. "When I heard [Johnl King had exhausted his appeals, I began thinking, 'How can this help m e or solve my pain?' and I realized it couldn't," Byrd told the Houston Chronicle for Thursday's editions. The vigil was attended by a handful of people and wrapped up Thursday afternoon, Texas prison system spokesman Larry Todd said. lodd said. "They > prooiems, were very polite and certainly no problem whatso­ ever." Allen Richard Ellis, John King's appeals attor­ ney, learned about the prayer vigil Wednesday afternoon. "It's a wonderful gesture,"EUis said. "I think it7s a great example for all of us to live in a spirit of for­ giveness instead of revenge." The younger Byrd said nis attitudes on the death penalty began to change as the reality of his loss set in. He said he now believes the death penalty is wrong in all cases and is hoping King's sentence will be commuted to life in prison without parole. 'To want to seeth e men who killed my daddy die by the state is the same for me to go out and kill them myself," Byrd told reporters in Houston before leaving for Huntsville Throughout King's trial, Byrd had told reporters he wanted his father's killers to receive the death penalty for the gruesome 1998 killing. The black victim was tied around the ankles with a chain affixed to the truck bum per and pulled from a dirt logging road to the aspnalt of Huff Creek for his three-mile dismemberment. The younger Byrd's religious beliefs played a role in nis changed attitude. "It's the big picture we're trying to look at, and the big picture is God says, 'Thou shall not kill,' " Byrd said. Martin Luther King III whose father was assassi­ nated in 1968, said Byrd's stance on the execution of Sm EXECUTION, page 2 Fatigue can affect ability to drive safely By Verena l&ensee Daily Texan Staff Road trips are a quintt*sM*ntial part of college culture. Students trek long distances for concerts, championship sports games and, sometimes, just for a change of scenery. .Sometimes, though, stu­ dents cut comers to get back in time for class or work, putting themselves at risk. Mary Ann Dingman, a UT international busi­ ness student, became a casualty in a road trip acci­ dent over the June 22 weekend when she died from injuries sustained in a car accident. Dingman had attended the Bonnaroo Music Festival, a three-day camping and m usic festival d rew event. The approximately 70,000 people to the 500-acre farm outside of Manchester, Tenn., with acts such as Widespread Panic and Ben Harper Dingman, along with tw o R N aiy km D f c p n i n friends, left the festival early to return to Austin for sum m er classes and work, said fnend Robyn Schwartz, a journalism senior. Dingman fell asleep w ithout her seatbelt fastened in the backseat of the car while her friends drove. At some point on 1—40, die vehicle flipped, and Dingman was killed. The other two people in the car suffered broken bones. Both were w eanng their seatbelts. Chiving late at nigjit after a weekend-long music festival can be dangerous, Schwartz said. "Everyone takes that risk if they go to a three- night show," Schwartz said. Gina Polly, a 2001 UT alumna, said she shakes her head in disbelief when she remembers the time she drove from New Orleans to Austin — a seven-and-a-half-hour drive — after a weekend spent binge drinking to celebrate Mardi Gras. She t and a friend left N ew Orleans at 2 a.m. Sunday in order to get back in tune tor class. "It was stupid," Polly said. "But it was one of those tilings mat seemed like it was a good idea at the time. But always in hindsight, you just shake your head." Student Government created a Drowsy Driver program in 1999-2000 that was designed to pre­ vent accidents caused by sleep-deprived student drivers.

UT study finds link b ib * m TV violence, hormones Television images may affect more than the mind, according to a study conducted by a researcher at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Vicki Nejtek, an assistant pro­ fessor of psychiatry, found that college students who watched auto-racing videos involving acci­ dents, injuries and death reacted biologically as if the situations were real. Nejtek rated the stress levelé of the students before, during and after the view­ ings, “Although we tell ourselves what we see on TV or at the movies is fake, our biological hor­ mone responses still react as if it were real,” she said. Nejtek said that given the large amount of time children are exposed to movies, television and video games, she hopes to do more research on the effects of electronic media. Grant awarded for study into homeless youth, STDs A nursing researcher at the University has received $1.2 mil­ lion to continue her study into the sexual health practices of home­ less adolescents. Dr. Lynn Rew, a nursing profes­ sor, said homeless adolescents are at higher risk than other ado­ lescents for contracting and trans­ mitting sexually transmitted dis­ eases because they engage in risky sexual behavior at earlier ages and lack routine immuniza­ tions and healthcare services. “Our goal is to curb the rising number of sexually transmitted diseases among this vulnerable population," Rew said. The research will involve more than 400 homeless adolescents in the Austin area who will be asked to log into a computer once a week at Project Phase, a community street outreach cen­ ter funded by Life Works. The grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research of the National Institutes of Health brings the total amount of fund­ ing for the seven-year project to nearly $2 million. Com piled by Nicole Dreyer New York trims recycling effort By John Gouda Daily Texan Staff New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg announced plans Monday to suspend the city's recycling plan while the city looks at ways to streamline the pro­ gram. Although the New York City plan is the first major cutback of a recycling program in the country, recycling program officials in Austin and Houston have been wondering if this closure indicates a growing national trend. "A lot of other cities have done it," said Larry Stockham, assistant to the deputy director of Paper Recycling in Houston. "It's not a profit center. Recycling takes a lot of money. You have to balance the economic benefit with the envi­ ronment." New York discontinued its pro­ gram in the face of a multibillion- dollar debt. "If they're going to discontinue the program, they'll have a lot of assets, trucks, plant, etc.," said Jerry Hendrix, a spokesman for Austin Recycling. "Are those assets going to sit there? What if you sell them and then decide to reinstate the program, would you have to buy it all back? The other issue is that all that recycled mate­ rial is going to be garbage. It's going to pile up." Hendrix added that the Austin recycling program is able to oper­ ate independently of city funds by generating its own revenue with customer fees. Under heavy pressure, many other recycling programs through­ out the United States are now being re-analyzed. Contamination, the mixing of recyclable and non-recyclable trash, is one problem contributing to this pressure. Such mixing makes it impossible for materials to be recycled. While its effect on residential neighborhoods is minimal, con­ tamination is a serious hindrance to programs implemented in areas with apartment complexes such as those surrounding the UT campus. "With apartment complexes, they can't make a curbside pro­ gram, so they [usually] put up dumpsters," Hendrix said. "Thaf s where apartments have a lot of trouble, because people just dump their trash in them." Gary Readore, administration manager with the Houston recy­ cling program, said the key to a successful recycling program is extensive planning. "There are several cities that will throw millions of dollars at a program without planning out beforehand," said. "Some cities have started pro­ grams, collected materials and found no one to take them." Readore Proceeds from parade benefit nonprofit group PARADE, FROM 1 Austin neighborhood associa­ tions. This is the second year the parade has used the 78704 of July name and been a coordinated effort of all South Central Austin neighborhoods, SRCC President Clarke Hammond said. Hammond said a portion of the proceeds would go to Project Kaboom, a national non-profit organization dedicated to bring­ ing together corporate sponsors and community volunteers to build playgrounds in parks. The Project Kaboom in Little Stacy Park is sponsored by Home Depot, which recently opened a store in the area. Joe Arriaga, a zoning chair­ man for SRCC, helped organize the parade. He said several months of planning, including meeting several times a week, went into the parade. Dlysa Foster, a South Austin resident who dressed as Lady Liberty, said she has attended the South Austin event since 1994. Foster said July Fourth is a chance to express appreciation for their individuality, diversity and community. Foster echoed Doggetf s senti­ ments and said it was important to not allow fear to infringe on civil individual rights. liberties and Foster also commented on the unique nature of the event. "What you see here is not con­ ventional patriotism," she said. The Austin Symphony Concert and Fireworks Show was the city's official July Fourth celebration, fea­ turing music and a fireworks dis­ play over Town Lake. City officials expected at least 100,000 people to attend the annual event.

Our legal system doesn't impose as stringent pun­ ishment for drowsy driving as it does for drunk driving," said Eric Opiela, SG vice president in 1999-2000. "But drowsy driving is the silent taker of many people's lives." The Drowsy Driver Program, a collaborative effort between the University and Texas A&M University, offered UT and A&M students a reduced rate for rooms at specific hotels in Austin and College Station. Opiela said he thought the pro­ gram was successful, but he had no way to quantify its effective­ ness. Although the Drowsy Driver Program has not existed for the past two years, SG president Katie King said SG might consider reviving it. "As students, we all drive home late at night ... I'll definitely plan on looking into it," King said. Spanish senior Cara Blackman, a childhood friend of Dingman's, also attended the Bonnaroo Music Festival. Blackman, who said she takes a lot of road trips, said it would be beneficial for SG to bring back the Drowsy Driver Program: "The more programs they have to help keep us safe, the safer we are." UT School of Business ethics courses not required of students STUDY, FROM 1 and perpetuating the ethical lax­ ness behind the recent scandals at Enron, WorldCom and other major American firms," Balch said. Most students surveyed said they believed Enron represents the norm in the business world. Jack Robertson, an accounting professor in the Red McCombs School of Business, said institu­ tions of higher education are not responsible for shaping values in students. He added that values may be formed early in child­ hood. "When somebody walks into a bank to commit a robbery, does that person know they are doing wrong? Of course they do," Robertson said. "All the people in the news who allegedly did something wrong had learned the right behavior — they just didn't do it." Although the business school A N 0 B G D i F G I M N I 1 S U p Q X Y Z offers a course in business ethics, students are not required to take such a class. The report also found that only 25 percent of those surveyed said their professors taught uniform and universal standards of right and wrong. And most students reported that professors who taught the difference between right and wrong depend on individual values and cultural diversity. Balch said that although moral values are taught in the home, universities are partially to blame for the emerging ethics crisis in the United States. "[Universities] can also under­ mine these lessons by providing sophisticated excuses for suc­ cumbing to the temptations of greed and power/' Balch said.

Water from Canyon Dam, located ábout 30 miles northeast of San Antonio, was expected to begin spilling over tne rain- swollen lake Tnursday afternoon, New Braunfels Mayor Adam Cork said. It would be the first time in the 45-year history of the dam, which is at 943 feet above sea level, that water has spilled over. Bush's declaration makes fed­ eral aid available to a region pounded this week by rain that has killed at least seven people and caused extensive damage. Federal funding will become available to people affected by the flooding in Bandera, Bexar, Blanco, Comal, Gillespie, Hays, Kendall, Kerr, Medina and Uvalde counties. "The quick response from President B ush means federal emergency assistance will come quickly to Texans in the áreas hit hardest," Gov. Rick Perry said in a statement. "W ith this assistance, the recovery process can begin for families and businesses devastat- ed by heavy rains and flooding." Assistance can include disaster housing low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, grants and other programs to help indi­ viduals and businesses recover from the disaster. The Federal Emergency Man­ agement Agency said damage surveys are continuing in other areas, and additional assistance and counties may be added after assessments are completed, said a Passey, David FEMA spokesman. Perry on Wednesday declared a state disaster for 29 South and Central Texas counties. The U.S. Army Corps of En­ gineers began opening the dam's floodgates at 10:30 a.m. to lower the water level. The gates are designed to release a maximum of 5,000 cubic feet of water per second when Judy fully open, said Marsicano, a corps spokeswoman. the water However, once begins to flow over the spillway, the gates will be gradually closed to reduce the amount of water flowing into the Guadalupe River. In San Antonio, where high waters were receding, officials discovered two bodies in a car in the Olmos Basin, bnnging the death count to at least seven. The fifth victim, an Austin firefighter, was kayaking in a flooded creek when he was overcome by the current.

By The Associated Press DALLAS — Zach Galvin makes a good living teaching English, drama and public speaking in Natick, Mass. But high living costs make it hard to make ends meet in the Boston suburb. "I'm earning a salary in a town that I'll never be able to afford to live in," he said. Galvin, 32, said he makes over $50,000 a year, but can't afford a down payment on a house. Other men his age often make $70,000 to $80,000. "They say, 'You're doing great work, but you're a fool to be doing that job/" Galvin said. "Its tongue-in-cheek, but there's some truth to it." Gathered at their annual meet­ ing this week, members of the National Education Association talked about why so few men go into teaching — recent statistics show that only one in four public school teachers is male. "It's not macho — it's not cool," said Ned Good, a middle school teacher in Burr Oak, Mich. "To say you're a teacher is not going to get you a pat on the back from most people." Good, the only male out of 12 teachers in his tiny school dis­ trict, echoed the comments of many teachers who said that while teacher salanes are rising nationwide, teaching still carries little prestige. "Your job as a male is to pro­ vide for your family — ifs not to be a nice guy and do what you can to help others," he said. Delegates to the NEA, the nation's largest teachers uruon, approved a measure this week to help recruit more men into their ranks, with an emphasis on recruiting more minorities and getting more men into elemen­ tary school jobs. According to the Education Department, the percentage of male teachers in public schools has actually gone down in the past 40 years. In 1961, 31 percent of teachers were male. By 19%, it dropped to fewer than 26 per­ cent.

Alex Jones/ Associated Press By The Associated Press KAKARAK, Afghanistan — Twenty-five mounds of small, white stones laid out in orderly rows atop a barren, windblown hill mark w’hat villagers said Thursday are the graves of civil­ ians killed by a U.S. airstrike this week. U.S. military investigators, however, said they were not shown the graves, despite repeat­ ed requests when they visited this village Wednesday. That has led them to question claims that 44 people were killed in Kakarak and nearby villages by U.S. forces Monday. However, Abdul Malik, who said he lost both parents and 23 other relatives, did not hesitate when asked by The Associated Press to show the graves, located about a half mile from his family's compound where the victims died. They were attending a party to celebrate Abdul Malik's impending marriage when the attack took place, he said. The 25 graves that Abdul Malik pointed out appeared fresh, unlike the dozens of others at the grave­ yard. The loosely packed stones apparently hadn't had a chance to settle. White ropes tied between two poles at either end of the graves appeared whiter than the dust-covered, worn ropes on other graves nearby. In keeping with Islamic tradi­ tion, Afghans bur)' their dead soon after death. Graves carry no Westem-style headstone nor writ­ the ten deceased. information about Maj. Gary Tallman, spokesman for the U.S. investigation team, said the Americans repeatedly asked to see the graves when they visited Kakarak, about 175 miles southwest of Kabul, Wednesday. He said villagers appeared con­ fused about the location. At the nearby village of Syansang, villagers took the team to a grave site w'here they said five victims of the attack were buried. The team took photos and docu­ mented the graves, but Tallman said it w'as difficult to tell if they were fresh. The team is not allowed to exhume remains. Tallman said the team has seen 11 injured people in the past two days but no bodies. Afghan Foreign Minister Abdullah said 44 people were killed and 120 injured. mion Friday, July 5, 2002 EDITORIAL BOARD Editor Jason Hunter Associate Editor?

Its traditional characterization as our “national pastime" now seems sadly ironic, a cruel joke. The lack of a salary cap ensures that only big market, nigh- revenue teams have a realistic chance at winning the World Series. The players have a reputation for "poor little rich boy" petulance far surpassing that of their counterparts in the other professional sports leagues, and recent reports allege rampant use of steroids among mem. Fan interest is only piqued when a home run-related record is threatened, and sometimes not even then, as demonstrated by the relative lack of interest in Barry Bonds' record-setting season last year. Despite all this, the Major League Baseball Players' Association is threatening to strike yet again, claiming they have no other choice in the matter. What the players may not realize is that another prolonged strike — like the one in 1994 that lasted into the beginning of the 1995 season and saw the threat of washed-up nobodies tak­ ing the field come closer to fruition than anyone ever imagined — could cost them their jobs. The game is already bloated with clubs, juiced-up designated hitters and a glut of retro-themed ballparks that all look the same. With the Round Rock Express outarawing putrid MLB teams like the 1997 World Series champion Florida Marlins, conventional wisdom would sug­ gest that fans will not come back after another prolonged standoff between whiny players and greedy owners. With games becoming lengthier every year due to an ever- shrinking strike zone and mediocre pitching caused by four decades of relentless expansion, the game is no longer the cen­ tral attraction at ballparks. People go to the games to see trains run along the side of the retractable dome and eat sausages from around the world. One is hard pressed to find hard-core fans staying in their seats for all nine innings with a score book in their lap and a pencil in their hand, meticulously noting the 5-4-3 double play. Personal seat licenses and increasing ticket prices have pushed the average fan out of the ballpark, and the constant resettlement of teams throughout the country has demolished senses of team loyalty. Few fans outside of the Northeast are attached enough to their teams to hurl batteries at opposing outfielders. The game itself is not what it used to be, as alleged drug use allows baseball players to more closely resemble members of East German Olympic squads than their wholesome counter­ parts of yesteryear. The designated hitter has allowed aging overweight former first basemen to remain in the league far past their prime. The balance of the game has been destroyed, with pitching being reduced to a waiting game as to who will serve up the next home run ball. The public's love of long balls has shifted the emphasis to offense and left the game devoid of classic pitchers' duels. Players must realize that the professional game is on life support, and one more prolonged strike could turn the fans away for good. On the heels of the U.S. .soccer team 's success in this year's World Cup, American sports fans may find them­ selves engrossed in the new summer pastime of Major League Soccer. In the 1989 film Field o f Dreams, fictional author Terrence Mann, plaved by James Earl Jones, said "The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball." If players and owners keep it up, professional baseball may never be a con­ stant again. GALLERY MB CWTI \ m AClCUDdr S jyplC iC N HANGrfNGr C N K CUR TEAM BECAJSE.

X T 7-V-0*B E ditor’s note: Last week, 32 Chicano and Chicana students from East Austin and around Texas came to the University to p a rticip a te Youth in Encuentro 2002. This week, The Daily Texan will be high­ lighting some of the work creat­ ed by the students. the Phoenix By Joey Cipriano While summer vacation makes its presence known to students all over the United S tates, about 30 students — from Austin to as far away as San Antonio, Dallas and South Texas — participated in the First Annual Chicana/o Youth Encuentro. Organized by the members of the UT MEChA chapter, the event has shown students the benefits of attending college and given them the opportunity to meet college students. I had the chance to meet and live with some of the members and find out how the whole project was started. The M EChistAs took on the responsibility of taking stu­ dents through an entire week, holding workshops, showing “educational” videos and facil­ itating group discussions on issu es including stereotypes, racial differences, sex and gender, among other things. Although some of the topics were slightly on the sensitive side, including teen sex, they were nevertheless necessary to d iscu ss. The students also had the opportunity to work with the counselors on media projects, which will be presented Saturday at the campsite Alma de Mujer, where the stu­ dents, counselors and facilita­ tors will wrap up the encuen­ tro. The media projects ranged from radio, theatre, publishing and video workshops. But aside from my publishing workshop, I learned more about myself from the coun­ selors and students than I thought I would. In the past school year at “ S .A .-tow n’s ” Kennedy High School, none of the partici­ pants who would attend the camp really knew that we would spend a week with col­ lege students who wanted nothing more than to be our friends. The friendships that developed were just icing on the cake. My lack of expecta­ tions probably derived from previous experience. For example, in “ S.A .-tow n” when painting a mural at Kennedy over the course of several days with the help of some college students, friend­ ships were never sealed, because they did not treat the inner-city high school students as equals. But during the encuentro, the counselors were more accepting and understanding of the students' backgrounds; therefore, the generation gap was harder to notice. A prime example is the friendship between Eddie “ Spaghetti" Campos, a UT stu­ dent with a love for life and an even greater passion for good friends and fun, and Willie “ Sketch 1” Casias, a Jay High School freshman from San Antonio (or “ San A nto” as he likes to say) with a talent for “flowing,” acting and sketching. (For the gener- ationally challenged, “flow ing” is impromptu rapping.) The two friends were in a work­ shop together where the stu ­ dents created their own music video. Willie was one of the stars and Eddie, the moral support. They have become close friends on and off cam­ pus. Both during the day and at night, they could be found “flowing" and entertaining the other students and coun­ selors. Personally, I found a connec­ tion to Alex “Torito" Chavez, another active member of the MEChA family and Eddie's roommate. During the week he showed such devotion to the project, as did the rest of the counselors. But what really made me want to be close with Alex was that even with the week's busy schedule, he still found time to laugh and have a good time with the stu­ dents. Not a day passed in which we didn’t see Alex dog tired, but still up and having a ball laughing along with Eddie and Willie at home. It reminded me so much of myself back in my hom etown. I always made time for the friends I cared about so much, and it didn’t m atter how tired I was, w hether it was a phone conversation or even if I went over to their houses. Talking to Alex reminded me of home and made me realize that even when I get to be as old as he is, I won’t have to change the way I view life: looking at what is most important and then applying my whole energy to doing it. That’s what makes me different from the next person. “Crunk’’ Chris Arellano, another roommate who w asn't a counselor but still played a role in the encuentro, was a character who was m ostly secretive about the things that he did, and when he got personal, it was a su rp rise. During the second day, Chris and several of his friends who are part of a Capoeira group were responsible for many sore bodies the next few days after they attempted to teach the encuentro participants some of the dance m oves. My view on the encuentro, and the friendships and knowl­ edge that it included, was like a rebirth of co n scio u sn ess for the younger generation. Thinking about the encuentro reminds me of one of my favorite childhood en titie s — the phoenix, a bird that sym­ bolizes immortality and w is­ dom. I have had the honor of meeting most of the co u n­ selors and one thing is clear from all their re sp o n se s: They hope that the students take with them all the w eek’s expe riences as they will take what we’ve taught them. M ost of them spoke of continuing the camp, but next time with our influence, So that even the “ spirits" that leave the camp are the ones that make it live on.

UTli corporate interests Longhorns will be happy to know that our very own Board of Regents hasn’t been sitting around idly in this storm of corporate scandals. As of May 2002, UTIMCO (UT Investment Management Corporation), a private company con­ trolled by the regents that invests UT’s $14 billion endowment, had holdings in the following corrupt companies: 1) 100,000 shares in Enron 2) 3,300 shares in WorldCom 3) *9,155,400 shares in Tyco Inter­ national and subsidiaries Interesting to note that UT President Larry Faulkner had 500odd shares in Enron. Regent Antonio “Tony" Sanchez had 1,000 shares in Tyco. Regent Charles Miller had 100 to 500 shares in Tyco. Regent Judith Craven had 200 shares in Enron. And this is only the surface account. Conflict of inter­ est? Absolutely. In 2001, UTIMCO lost $10 million in a fruit-importing compa­ ny that went bankrupt. It was later determined that the fruit company's investors had personal and financial ties to UTIMCO officials. Another report found that at one point, a third of UTIMCO’s $1.7 billion in private investments was tied up in ventures run by friends of UTIMCO officials.

Aggies not progenitors of UT mascot’s moniker By Jim Nicar Daily Texan Guest Columnist branded If s one of the best-known stones on campus Dunng a late night visit to Austin, a group of Aggie the pranksters University's first longhorn mascot "13 - 0," tne score of a fixitball game won by Texas A&M. In order to save face, UT students altered the brand to rvad "Bevo" by changing the "13" to a "B," the ' to an "E ,' and inserting a "V" between the dash and the "()." For years, Aggies have proudly touted the stunt as the reason the steer acquired his name. But was the brand really changed? And is that why he's called Bevo? Sorry, Aggies. Wrong on both counts. * Ihe lost day of Novt-inbei 1916 — Thanksgiving Day — was an eventful one for the University of T exas At 9 a.m., a procession of students, faculty and alumni paraded south from the campus to the state capítol for the inaugura­ tion of Robert Vinson as the new UT president. Held in the House chambers, dressed according to their college and class. Seniors won* special arm bands, engineers sported blue shirts and khaki trousers, and freshmen hud­ dled in green caps. There was emugh pomp and oratory for the students ceremony to last all morning. After the inauguration, lunch was served on the 40 Acres. A box meal for 25 cents was available to those who wanted to picnic on campus. Folks who preferred a traditional' Thanksgiving more Day feast headed tor the "Caf," an unpainted, leaky wooden shack that somehow managed to func­ tion as die University cafeteria. The full turkey dinner cost 50 cents. The afternoon was reserved for die annual football bout with the A&M College of Texas. A record 15,000 fans packed the wooden the bleachers at Clark Field, University's first athletic field, where Taylor Hall and the ACES Building are now. The first two quarters were a defensive struggle, dnd die half ended with die s< ore tied 7-7. During halftime, two West Texas dragged a half-starved steer onto was formally Eresented to the UT student body y a group of Texas Exes. They were led by Stephen Pinckney (LL.B. 1911), who had long wanted to acquire a real longhorn as a liv­ ing mascot for tire University. Wnite working for the U S attor­ ney general's office, he'd spent most of the year in West Texas assisting witn raids • on cattle rusders. A raid near Laredo in late September turned up a steer whose fur was so orange Pinckney knew he'd found his mascot. With $1 contributions from 124 fellow alumni, Pinckney purchased the animal and arranged for its trans­ port to Austin. Loaded onto a box­ car without food or water, the steer arrived at the train station just in time for the football game. After being presented to the stu- denLs, the longhorn was removed to a South Austin stockyard for a formal photograph and a long overdue meal. The steer, though, wasn't very cooperative. It stood still just long enough for a flash photograph, then charged the cam­ era. Tne photographer scurried out of the corral just in. time, and both the camera and photograph sur­ vived the ordeal. In the meantime, the Texas foot­ ball team ran in two punts for scores to win the game 22-7. To spread tne news, the December 1916 issue of the Ex-stu­ dents' Alcalde magazine was rushed into press Editor Ben Dyer (B.A. 1910) gave a full account of the game and halftime proceed­ ings. About the longhorn, Dyer stated simply, "His name is Bevo. Long may he reigni" With the football season over, the steer remained in South Austin while UT students discussed what to do with him. The Texan favored branding the longhorn with a large "T" on one side and "22-7" on tne otlw as a permanent reminder of the Texas victory. Others opposed that, citing animal cruelty, and wondered if the steer might be tamed so it could roam and graze on the 40 Acres. The debate was abruptly settled early Sunday morning, February 12, 1917. A group of four Texas A&M students equipped "with all the utensils for steer branding" broke into the South Austin stock­ yard at 3 a.m. There was a struggle, but tire* Aggies were able to brand the longhorn "13 - 0," which was the score of the 1915 football game A&M had won in College Station. Only a wtvk later, amid rumors that the Aggies planned to kidnap the animal outright, the longhorn was removed to a ranch 60 miles west of Austin. But two months later, the United States entered World War I, and the University community turned its attention to the conflict in Europe. Out of sight and away from Austin, the brand­ ed steer was all but forgotten until the end of the war in November 1919. Since food and care for the animal was costing die University 50 cents a day, and because the steer wasn't believed to be tame enough to roam campus or remain in the football stadium, it was fat­ tened up and became the barbe­ cued main course for the January 1920 football banquet. The Aggies were invited to attend, served the side they had branded and were presented with the hide, which still read "13-0." Why did Ben Dyer dub the long­ horn Bevo, instead of another name? For some time, the most popular theory has been that it was borrowed from the label erf a new soft drink. "Bevo" was the name of a non-alcoholic "near beer" pro­ duced by the Anheuser-Busch brewery in Saint Louis. Introduced in 1916 as the national debate over Prohibition threatened the compa­ ny's welfare, the drink was extremely popular through the 1920s. Over 50 million cases woe sold annually in 50 countries. Anheuser-Busch named the new drink "Bevo" as a play on the term "pivo," the Bohemian word for beer. Bufas it turns out, the Bevo beverage was almost unknown in Austin when Stephen Pinckney presented his orange longhorn to university students. Bevo the bev­ erage just might be a red herring. A recent suggestion made by Dan Zabcik (B.A. 1993) may prove to be the right one. Througn the 1900s and 1910s, newspapers ran a series of comic strips drawn by Gus Mager. The strips usually fea­ tured monkeys as characters, all named for their personality traits. Braggo the Monk constantly made empty boasts, Sheriocko the Monk was a bumbling detective, and so on. The comic strips became so popular that for a while it was a nationwide to nickname fad friends the same way, with an "o" added to the end. Mager's strips ran every Sunday in newspapers throughout Texas, including Austin. In addition, the term "beeve" is the plural of beef but is more com­ monly used as a slang term for a cow (or steer) that's destined to become food. The term is still used, though it was more common among the general public in the 1910s when Texas was more rural. The jump from "beeve" to "Bevo" isn't far and makes more sense given foe slang and national fads of foe time. Wliatever the reason, UTs mas­ cot was named by folks in Austin, not College Station. Nicar leads the moonlight prowls, a nighttime tour of the University's myths and legends.

"We are just not aware of any other threat," Garcia said. California Gov. Gray Davis said extra law enforcement officials were on duty across the state. He urged people to report anything unusual but otherwise to "go on with their celebration." Airport officials in a number of major cities — including Boston, Miami, Chicago, Phil­ adelphia and Cleveland — said security was especially tight, but that no additional actions had been taken because of the Los Angeles shooting. New York City Police Com­ missioner Ray Kelly said authorities are beefing up secu­ rity at El A1 ticket counters in the New York area. Tight secu­ rity was evident at the Empire State Building. Bomb-sniffing dogs patrolled the city's trans­ portation hubs. "We're using our bomb squad, our aviation units, our harbor patrol. The joint terror­ ist task force is deployed throughout the city," Kelly said. In New York, the FAA announced temporary flight restrictions below 10,000 feet over virtually all of Manhattan — from the Hudson River to the East River, from the Statue of Liberty the George to Washington Bridge. into In St. Louis, a pleasure a boater wandered restricted area around the Gateway Arch. During a chase, a water patrol boat and a U.S. Coast Guard vessel col­ lided. No one was injured. The boater had the restricted zone by mistake and was not cited. entered RENTAL RENTAL I 1 1 RENTAL Hussein’s stepson held on immigration charges By The Associated Press remained MIAMI — Saddam Hussein's jailed on stepson immigration violations Thursday for enrolling at a U.S. flight school without applying for a student visa, authorities said. Mohammed Nour al-Din Saffi, a citizen of New Zealand, had planned to attend a Miami-based flight school used by one of the Sept. 11 hijackers, federal author­ ities said. But in New Zealand said there was no evi­ dence Saffi, 36, was connected to any terrorist group. authorities He was being neld at Krome Detention Center in Miami-Dade County and being processed for deportation, said Rodney Ger­ main, an Immigration and Naturalization Services spokes­ man in Miami. Germain said he did know when Saffi would be deported. He referred questions to Justice Department officials, who did return phone calls on not Thursday. "The aim is to have him FBI removed," Germain said. Judy spokeswoman Orihuela, an INS assistant director for investigations, said officials believed Ziad Jarrah — one of the hijackers aboard the plane that crashed in rural Pennsylvania on Sept. 11 — had trained at the Aerospace Aviation Center. The Iraqi leader's stepson was traveling as a tourist under a visa waiver as a citizen of New Zealand, INS officials said. The violation is that he entered the United States without applying for a student visa that would have allowed him to take courses. "Without changing a visa sta­ tus, it is a violation in itself," said Fort Natalia Poliakova, a Lauderdale immigration lawyer who is not involved with the case. INS agents questioned Saffi when he arrived Tuesday in Los Angeles on a flight from New Zealand. At the time, Saffi failed to tell customs agents of his intent to take courses while in Florida, INS officials said. Alex Caro, a security guard at Aeroservice Aviation Center said Thursday that the school was open for classes, but no one was available for comment. The FBI spokeswoman said Saffi was tracked Wednesday as he flew from Los Angeles to Miami International Airport. Using his own name, Saffi checked into a hotel alone across from the Miami airport. He was arrested four hours later after agents interviewed him in his room. The Weekend Herald, a newspa­ per in New Zealand, reported in December Saffi was that employed by A ir New Zealand as an engineer and had lived in the country for six years. The air­ line declined to comment. Mohammed Saffi is the eldest son of Samira al-Shahbandar, Saddam's second wife. His father is Nour al-Din Saffi, an aviation engineer and former head of the Iraqi Airways. Mohammed Saffi is believed to have left Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War — first to neighboring Jordan and then to New Zealand — following an argument with his mother. The reason for the argument w as not clear, but according to rum ors in Baghdad, he and his father were afraid of Saddam's wrath. The father is believed to be living in exile in Jordan since Saddam fired him from his airline post. RENTAL RENTAL RENTAL EMPLOYMENT H s n s n s D i QUIET 2B R /1.5B A . Professor's home.

Rom his 1970 masterpiece Claire's Knee to his last feature, 1998’s fine Autumn Tale, he is without peer in making insightful, comedic and very diatagueheavy films. For his newest feature, The Lady said the Duke, Rohmer largely ignores his ongoing, and perhaps complete, study of romance to paint a techni­ cally innovative but not-comptetely- satisfying portrait of the Rench Revolution from a Royalist perspec­ tive. TIm Lady am i Um M m starring Jean- Claude Dreyfus directed by Eric Rohmer Like Ns previ­ ous forays into period filmmak­ ing, which include 1976’s masterful The Marquise of 0 and 1978’s virtu­ ally unseen Perceval, The Lady and the Duke is quite atypical next to the rest of Rohmer’s work. Rohmer turns Ns observant eye to politics in the Rench Revolution and dispenses with Ns usual sense of humor and focus on love. Instead, he concentrates on the growing conflict of political views between Englishwoman Grace Elliott and the Duke of Orleans. Indeed, the film begins with the love affair between Elliott and the Duke longsinceended. t While Rohmer’s examination of late-18th century Rench politics proves interesting, though not quite as fruitful as one would hope, Ns technical achievement remains qui­ etly impressive throughout the film. Besides being ulnusually attrac­ tive for being shot on DV, the film's outdoor sequences effectively digi­ tally superimpose the actors on painted backdrops. Nevertheless, wNIe it is hard to fault Rohmer for trying new things, it is equally hard not to miss Ns usual trademark work. — Hunter Harris BRIEF Roberts gets hitched again TAOS, N.M. — She’s a Runaway Bride no more. Academy Awardwinning actress Julia Roberts married her camera­ man boyfriend Daniel Moder early Thursday at her 40acre estate outside Taos. The wedding marks Roberts’ second trip down the aisle. The star of Runaway Bride and My Best Friend's Wedding was married for 21 months to country and western singer Lyle Lovett “Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder married during a midnight ceremony before family and friends at their home in New Mexico,” Roberts’ publicist Marcy Engel man told The Associated Press about an hour after the cer­ emony. The Daily Mail of London report­ ed this week that 50 guests were being flown from Los Angeles to New Mexico for a celebration at Roberts’ estate. The paper said George Clooney, Roberts’ costar in Ocean's 11, was to be on the guest list and that invitees were to wear white linen. Roberts, one of America's most successful movie stars, with hits that include Pretty Woman and the Oscar-winning Erin Brockovich, has had a dating life that’s been tabloid fodder for years. — The Associated Press Entertainment Friday, July 5, 2002 T h e D a il y T e x a n ‘CHERISH - THE MOMENT Check out Monday’s Texan for an interview with Finn Taylor, the writer and director of Cherish, a new comedy star­ ring Robin Tunney and Jason Priestley. 7 ‘View’ from the top . % Incubus continues to raise the bar of live modem rock shows with Tuesday night’s stop at Erwin Center By Vickie An Daily Texan Staff mistaken. If you thought Incubus could­ n't get any better live, you were Incubus sadly returned to Austin as part of the 2002 Honda Civic Tour Tuesday night at the Frank Erwin Center, "playing an energetic show that nad fans screaming all night, even after the encore. In October, the band played a sold-out show at the Austin Music Hall and although the Tuesday concert did not sell out, the stadium was still packed with thousands of rabid fans who were more than happy being presented the opportunity to see Incubus twice in a span of 10 months. The stage setup was very sim­ ple, with a large semi-circular ramp surrounding it. A large ‘screen loomed behind projecting different images throughout the show. For example, during the mellow songs, videos of clouds and beaches were played. Interestingly, toward the back of the stage were two couches and a coffee table with a lamp resting on top. The audience would find out why later in the show. The show opened with images of a deep orange sun rising and setting, followed by a rising and falling moon. A blanket of tiny lights turned on like stars in the night sky, and crickets could be heard in the background. And then the strobes turned on, and there stood Incubus. They opened the 19-song set with "Circles" from last year's album Morning View. Unlike the Austin Music Hall show, this concert was less about early records such as S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Make Yourself and more about Morning View. The audience crooned along to more recent hits like "Wish You Were Here," "Nice To Know You" and the new single, "Warning." But of course, the band couldn't leave out fan favorites like "Stellar," "Privilege" and "Certain Shade of Green." During "Drive" the audience sang so loudly that Brandon Boyd stopped singing all togeth­ er and gave way to the crowd. The only disappointment was that the band did not include their slower-paced ballad '*1 Miss You" in the two-hour show. Boyd radiated charisma, as usual, and kept the audience hyped, even during the more mellow songs. There was so much passion displayed onstage t that even people in the stadium seats could not help but stand up and dance in the rows. One of the most memorable moments of the show was when Boyd and guitarist Mike Einziger (one of the best kept secrets in the music industry) performed a brief acoustic set comprised of the hauntine ballad, "Mexico" and one of their first singles off Make Yourself, "Pardon Me." The purpose of the two couches and coffee table were revealed when they were pulled up on center stage for Boyd and Einziger to sit. Even though there were thou­ sands of people in the arena, this laid back, home-like setup made audience members feel as if they were watching a private per­ formance, and they were the only ones in the room. After the last song, the band left the stage, and the crowd began its ritual cheering for an encore. After what seemed like minutes of glowing lighters, screaming and clapping, Incubus finally re-emerged to sing three more songs. Then a relaxed Boyd perched on the ramp around die stage and ended the show with "Aqueous Transmission," an instrumentally Eastern-inspired song about the beauty of nature and second chances. As the song came to a close, the band members left the stage one by one. Einziger left last, hands together with a final bow to the audience. Once everyone was gone, the arena grew dark, and the canopy of lights turned back on with the sounds of crick­ ets chirping. And so the show came full circle. Los Angeles band Phantom Planet, most known for their song "California," opened for Incubus and took the stage promptiy at 7:30 p.m. The five- member band gave an energetic performance with a set of eight songs, including "California" and their new single "Lonely Day" off their album The Guest. Lead singer Alex Greenwald even body surfed through the crowd during the last song. With their overwhelming energy, Phantom Planet did a perfect job of getting the audience hyped up for Incubus. ‘Thirteen Conversations’ almost too many to handle Incubus frontm an Brandon Boyd sings passionately to the near capacity crowd at the Frank Erw in Center Tuesday night. C a llista B ro w n / D a ily T e x a n S ta ff By Henry Gayden Daily Texan Staff There is an old, nagging cynic who lives inside my head. I picture him being an embittered elderly man who serves no other purpose than to point and shake his head at even the slightest display of sap in a movie. Most people, I mink, have an equivalent of their own, though I doubt they'd describe him in the same way. But everyone's a critic these days. It's not just me. ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ sta rring Alan Thirteen Conversations AbontOneThteg The sentimental stylings of films like The Majestic, What Dreams May Come and Pay It Forward tend to arouse a flurry of dirty descriptions "cheesy," like and "co rn y " "manipulative." In most cases, they're right. Yet in a cinematic climate that assails view­ ers with Seven and The Silence o f the Lambs look-a-likes, two versions of Jill S p re c h e r directed by Arkin Natural Bom Killers and pitch-black dark comedies like Very Bad Things, it's sometimes refreshing to be manipulated into smiling. Thirteen Conversations About One Thing is one such refreshment. IT s a movie that manages to show the not-so-great sides to life with a rem arkable sense of hope. Whatever its various stories lack in the way of consistent efficacy, the combined whole has more spirit than most an^ movie this year. As opposed to admittedly supe­ rior films like Short Cuts and Magnolia, Thirteen Conversations plays more like a series of uncon­ nected stories intercut between each other. At most, the members of its ensemble cast are nothing more than tangential characters in each other's fives. It's the topic of their conversations that binds them. "Siow me a happy man, and I'll show you a train wreck waiting to happen," says Gene (played by a brilliantly implosive Alan Arkin) in an early scene of the movie.

J And thus the conversations begin. As characters espouse vari­ ous personal philosophies and proverbs, the "one thing" suggested in the title starts to come clearly into focus. It's what most every conversation in life revolves around, hints at or secretly implies: happiness, or rather the pursuit thereof. Each of the film's four main characters view it differently. Troy (Matthew McConaughey) has worked hard to get where he is and thinks his happiness is well deserved. Walker (John Turturro) risks everything to escape mere contentment, even when his actions hurt those around him. And while life never ceases to amaze Beatrice (Clea Du Vail), Gene scoffs at this kind of blind happiness as if it “ SUM M ER FILM C L A S S IC S D O U B LE FE A TU R E DIE HARD FRI AND SAT AT 7:15 PM DIE HARD 2 FRI AND SAT AT 9:50 PM SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON SUNDAY AT 1:30 PM THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH SUNDAY AT 4:30 & 7:40 PM £ PARAMOUNT 7lSZSZH? thaparamount.org t h t a t k i L A n D m A R K ' » D C B I E 21st & Guadalupe • (512) 472-FILM FREE PARKING IN THE D08IE GARAGE w w w .Landm arkTheatres.com Sign up for our weekly email and receive a FR E E Landmark Music Vol. 3 CD while supplies last!

Unfortunately, Troy and Beatrice's story is ultimately less interesting than those of the more fleshed-out characters Walker and Gene. Another movie with an ensem­ ble cast and a very similar tone, Grand Canyon, suffers similar problems. However in that film, director Lawrence Kasdan man­ aged to tie each of the stories together and, consequently, pro­ vided support for the lesser sub­ plots.

Berkman leads Astros past Pirates, 8-6 By The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Lance Berkman drove in three rtins, and the Houston Astros, finally playing like the NL Central contenders they were expected to be, won for the seventh time in nine games by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-6 Thursday. Berkman's two-run double high­ lighted a five-run third inning against Joe Beimel (1-3), and he added another RBI double in his next at-bat in the fifth as the Astros overcame a pair of two- run homers by Brian Giles. Berkman leads the majors with 78 RBIs, nine in his last three games. He drove in five runs in a 6-5 victory Tuesday in Cincinnati, then added another RBI in an 11-4 win over the Reds on Wednesday. With the middle of the lineup now producing — Jeff Bagwell homered twice Wednesday and had an RBI double Thursday — the Astros are 5-1 on a road trip that ends Sunday in Pittsburgh. Tney had 11 more hits after getting 14 Wednesday, even though Craig Biggio, who had five hits in the final two games in Cincinnati, took the day off. A long stretch of home games hasn't helped the skidding Pirates, who again fell a season-worst 10 games under .500 by losing their 10th in their last 13 at PNC Park. They have lost 42 of 67 since starting the season 12-5. The Astros, 5-3 against Pittsburgh this season, got doubles from Geoff Blum, Jose Vizcaino and Berkman in the third inning, with Brian Hunter and Richard Hidalgo adding run-scor­ ing singles off Beimel. The left-hander lasted four and two- thirds innings, giving up six runs, five earned, and seven hits. Astros starter Pete Munro gave back two of the runs on Giles' first two-run homer, a third-inning shot that cut Houston's lead to 5-3, and didn't stay in the game long enough to earn the victory. Giles has three tw o-run homers in two games. Munro left with two on and on e out in the fifth and the Astros up 63. Pedro Borbon (2-1) got out of the jam by retiring Giles and Aramis Ramirez. Ricky Stone followed Borbon with two scoreless innings, and Octvaio Dotel and Billy Wagner pitched an inning each. Giles hit his 22nd homer of the sea­ son in the ninth off Wagner. The Astros played another errorless tame. Their 38 errors are the few est in \e majors. Houston still doesn't have a complete game. The Astros have w on nine of 13 since losing three straight. Associated Press Lance Berkman upped his MLB leading RBI total to 78. All-Williams Wimbledon finale No.l Serena meets defending champ Venus in final By The Associated Press WIMBLEDON^ England — The Williams family has another Grand Slam final ail to itself, this time with a twist: Little Sis is No. 1. Serena and Venus Williams both used unstoppable strokes and serves topping 115 mph to win lopsided Wimbledon semifi­ nals Thursday and set up a third title match in the last four majors. And Serena — 15 m onths' younger than 22-year-old Venus — was assured of supplanting her atop the rankings no matter what happens in Saturday's final. Serena never has been ahead of Venus. ''Just because I'm No. 1," said Serena, who hasn't dropped a set, "doesn't mean I don't want to win Wimbledon." She'd never been past the semifinals at the All England Club (losing at that stage to her sister in 2000), but was absolute­ ly dominant in defeating No. 9- seeded Amelie Mauresmo 62, 6 1. So, too, was two-time defend­ ing champion Venus, who beat No. 6 Justine Henin 63, 6 2 in what was a rematch of last year's final but really was no match at all. This all-Williams final follows those at September's U.S. Open (won by Venus) and last month's French Open (won by Serena). "It's just something that's unprecedented," Venus said. "Never seen before." Well, not quite. Back in 1884, at the very first major tournament, Maud Watson beat sister Lillian in the Wimbledon final. That was the only sibling-sibling Grand Slam final for 117 years. "Today," Serena said, "I was immaculate." She showed no signs of being distracted by news that a German man accused of stalking her in five countries was released from custody after being arrest­ ed outside Wimbledon's gates. "I'm a strong person," she K sso ciaiea K re s s Venus and Serena Williams will face off in the singles finals of Wimbledon after both sisters won their semifinal matches in straight sets. Serena in 2002 — an d 41-3 ag.un.st everyone else. said. "I try not to let things like that affect me." The 1999 U.S. Open champion had seven aces, including a 117 mph exclamation point to end the first set, plus 22 total winners to seven for Mauresmo, who beat Jennifer Capriati in the quarters. Serena also won the point on 10 of 14 trips to the net. "It's a During changeovers, she read notes jotted on a folded piece of paper. Mauresmo could have used some sort of cheat sheet explaining how to beat Serena, against whom she's now 0-4. little bit sad for women's tennis, but maybe it's not the point of view for every­ body," the Frenchwoman said, referring to the sisters' domi­ nance. "People are going to get bored about it. It was already the final at the French Open. I can't count how many people since yesterday told me, 'We don't want a Williams final/" At the start of the first Centre Court semifinal, it looked like a big upset might be brewing. Henin, eight inches shorter than her 6foot-l-inch opponent, broke serve in the opening game when Venus sent a forehand half-volley wide and dumped a backhand into the net. The Belgian went up 2-0 by holding serve in an 11-minute epic of a game. There were six deuces and two saved break points, one with a drop shot and the other with a volley on a sequence that ended with both players at the net. At that juncture, it was as though Venus said to herself, "OK, enough kidding around." Starting at deuce in the next game, she smacked a forehand winner down the line and deliv­ ered a service winner at 115 mph to open a run of 12 straight points to go ahead 3-2. That began a streak in which Venus won 10 of 11 games. Most impressively, repeatedly melted Henin's trademark back­ hand — the best in the women's game — into another average stroke. she Venus had 10 winners from the baseline and an unusually high-for-her 11 at the net. She's won 20 straight matches at Wimbledon, and one more would make her the first woman w ith three consecutive titles since Steffi Graf in 1991-93. "She was too strong, too good," said Henm, who lost the 2001 final in three sets. "She did­ n't make a lot of mistakes. She didn't let me play. She was so aggressive, so powerful. "What could I do?" The elder Williams' serve, court coverage and power off both wings can be countered by only one woman right now: her sister. Venus is 0-2 vs. Associated Press» Serena Williams enters the final of Wimbledon as the No. 1 seed. Dallas beefs up front line with Guerin By The Associated Press DALLAS — Stacked at center and solid on defense, the Dallas Stars went into free agency looking for quality forwards, espe­ cially ones who are tough on the ice and leaders in the locker room. They think they found the entire package in Bill Guerin. 'To add someone with his size, his ability to score, and couple that with his character, he's everything we were looking for," Stars general manager Doug Armstrong said Thursday morning, hours after signing Guerin to a five-year deal worth about $45 million. Guerin, widely considered one of the top players on the market, said the money and nis new teammates make Stars a perfect fit for him, too. "I just felt Dallas was the best place for me," said Guerin, who also was considering Toronto. The 6foot-2-inch, 210-pound right wing is coming off a second straight 40-goal sea­ son. He tied for second in the NHL in goals last season with 41 and had 25 assists for Boston. He's also played in New Jersey and Edmonton, and has built a solid reputation as someone widely respected by teammates. "He comes with high praise from the peo­ ple he's played with," Armstrong said. "We described that to him as an asset we liked." The Stars began pursuing Guerin with a phone call in the wee hours Monday morn­ ing, scheduling a meeting for 8:30 a.m. at a posh hotel in Boston. Stars owner Tom Hicks, general manager Doug Armstrong, coach Dave Tippett and special assistant Guy Carbonneau were all there, having flown up on Hicks' jet. Their presentation included a DVD showing the best the Stars and Dallas have to offer; Texas Rangers shortstop Alex Rodriguez— another Hicks signee— even made a cameo appear­ ance. "That was a great first impression on the organization and how committed they were," Guerin said. "The way that they've treated me since the first day we met has been great." Although Guerin's total package is worth an average of $9 million a year, deferred money keeps Mike Modano as the team's highest-paid player the next two seasons and gives Dallas room to sign more players. Now topping the Stars' wish list are Tony Amonte, Temmu Selanne and Scott Young. Amonte and Young also were in Boston on Monday and got the DVD recruiting pitch. Guerin, 31, would love to be on a line centered by Modano, whom he's known for 10 years and has been teammates with at two Olympics. He also would feel comfort- Dallas GM Doug Armstrong announces the Associated Press signing of free agent right wing B ill Guerin. able on lines led b y Pierre Turgeon cm- Jason Amott, who could return to center after playing wing last season. "I like to nave other guys carry the puck for me, and then I try to take care of the end product," said Guerin, who led the NHL in shots last season.

It would be nearly two hours until he would have another. The No. 1-ranked Hewitt even­ tually overcame the first real challenge he has faced, outlast­ ing No. 18 Sjeng Schalken 6-2, 62,67 (5), 1-6, 7-5 Thursday to reach the semifinals. The Australian next faces No. 4 Tim Henman, whose attempt to become Britain’s first Wimbledon men’s champion in 66 years was extended with a 63, 6 7 ,6 4 ,6 3 victory over 90th-ranked Andre Sa of Brazil. Hewitt owns a 60 career record against Henman, a semifi­ nalist for the fourth time in five years. “Right now probably the tough­ est task in tennis is to beat Hewitt,” said Henman, who has yet to face a seeded player. ‘ He proves consistently why he’s the best in the world.” Friday’s other semifinal pits 26 year-old David Nalbandian against 21-year-old Xavier Matisse. Neither had been to a Grand Slam quarterfinal before. No. 27 Malisse defeated 1996 champion Richard Krajicek 61, 46,6-2,36, 9-7. Krajicek, side­ lined for 20 months after right elbow surgery, was the only past winner left in the field. Nalbandian, playing his first grass-court tournament, beat Nicolas Lapentti of Ecuador 64, 6 4 ,46,4 6,64 to become the first Argentine semifinalist at Wimbledon. Eight injured by lightning before Daytona qualifier DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.'— A lightning strike on the grounds at Daytona International Speedway left eight people in need of med­ ical attention Thursday. Officials said track employee Walter Williams and race fans Richard Santora, Alfred and Mary Greene, and Dwayne and Derek Decoux were treated and released at care centers at the track, where qualifying for the Pepsi 400 was scheduled for later Thursday. Two other guests, Brian and Tina Decoux, were taken to near­ by Halifax Medical Center, where they were treated and released. Around 4 p.m., a strong thun­ derstorm swept through Daytona Beach, drenching the raceway and halting Winston Cup practice. SEC tops all conferences in revenue in 2001 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A big jump in football TV income helped the Southeastern Conference take in more than $100 million last year to maintain its position as the college sports league with the most revenue. With $35 million in assets and no liabilities, the SEC’s total rev­ enues for the year were $100.8 million — well ahead of the seo- ondplace Big 12 Conference, which reported $85.6 million in revenues, $4 million in assets and $293,833 in liabilities.
