The extra fee money would buy more computer equipment and pay for more computer technicians to staff a proposed larger computer lab, said Larry Leibrock, associate dean of technology. Administrators said they will take students' sentiments about the fee into consideration, but stressed that the $1.1 million each year in student fees is essential to a proposal calling for $4.1 million worth of equipment and staff.

The coalition, which includes the UT and Texas A&M Systems and other public universities, announced appointments to the 24-member a Commission Texas Representative Student Body Wednesday. on The commission will study pro­ grams currently in place at Texas uni­ versities regarding recruitm ent, admissions, retention and financial aid. Texas public universities were barred from using race as a factor in admissions decisions and financial aid after a March 19% ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals known as h e Hopwood decision. "Hopwood and its immediate effects have created a feeling of urgency h at we can overcome," said Judge Dwight Jefferson of the 215th District Court in Houston. Jefferson is one of the three mem- bers of the commission appointed by the UT System. Each of the eight higher education systems appointed three members to the commission. The diversity commission is unique because it is comprised of community leaders, rather than adm inistrators and legislators, Jefferson said. "In tíre past, policies were thought of and adapted purely by university administrators without much input from the public," Jefferson said. "I think this commission will provide for a broader and more comprehen­ sive review than if it were people directly affiliated with the universi­ ties." The commission will make recom­ mendations for additional recruit­ ment and retention programs and strategies to the Texas Higher Education Coalition by August 1998. UT System representatives to the diversity commission include the Rev. Zan Wesley Holmes Jr., senior pastor of St. Luke Community United Methodist Church in Dallas and a former UT regent; Mike Espinosa, assistant treasurer of Conoco Inc. in Houston; and Jefferson.

"W e cr*poee any interference in China's u temal affairs," Embassy spokesm an Yu Shuning told reporters at a news conference. Yu a,so cautioned the govern­ ment to provide a safe environment for Jiang's weeklong visit begin­ ning Sunday in Honolulu. His itin­ erary includes several speeches, at Harvard including one University where protests are expected. Human rights groups have promised to foítów Jiang, whom Yu insisted is looking for­ ward to "extensive contacts with all Anissa Zamarron closes h i on Eva Young to minimize her height disadvantage during a fight in the Austin Music Hall earlier this year. knockout artist Anissa “The Assassin” Zamarron hopes to become Austin$ 1st fem ale boxing world champion.. >• see page i a New Union opponents vie for support Stoptomio thuurir Daily Texan Staff Campus groups continued to bat­ tle Wednesday about the need for a new union near Waller Creek as stu­ dents cast ballots in the first day of voting on the referendum. "It's hard to listen to two groups because they push their own agen­ da," said Kevin Poli, a history sopho­ more who voted Wednesday. "And I'm not swayed by propaganda." of the the College Mem bers Republicans, Young Conservatives of Texas, Students for A ccess and Opportunity, Young Texans Against Corporate Welfare and other organizations campaigned Wednesday against building ¡mother union on the West Mall. "A new union is unnecessary," said Michael Scaljon, chairman of the College Republicans. "We shouldn't have to pay for something we are not going to use." But Prescott Caballero, chairman of Texas Union Board of Directors and Build the Union Committee, said a new union would create a bet­ ter sense of campus community. "Many have responded to this as a knee-jerk reaction. Don't oppose a fee just because it is a fee," Caballero said. "A union means all walks of life come together." Voting in the union referendum continues Thursday. "There should be a proposal to make this union fun again. And the film program cut — what's up with that? It's all wrong." And the Texas Union is over­ crowded, said Sarah Novak, a Plan II and molecular biology sophomore. "Money is what seems to be hold­ ing people up," Novak added. If the new union is built, informal gathering spaces, restaurants, and a hotel may be included in the build­ ing Caballero said. And future students will appreci­ ate a second union, said Eric Smith, a mechanical engineering junior. "1 can see a need for another union on a different part of campus," Smith said. "I really think the benefits out­ weigh the negative aspects, and this union is something people down the road will benefit from it at UT." But student groups such as the Young Texans Against Corporate Welfare argued that student fees shouldn't be spent to subsidize more fast-food chains. Danica Parish, a Sp anish / Portuguese graduate student, said there are less expensive options for providing students with a place to eat. "I don't think another union is necessary," Parish said. "I don't want to pay for it. They should build a cafeteria instead of a union." PTTER YANfi/Daify Texan Staff Cameron Half, an electrical engineering sophomore, speaks on the West Mall against the building of a new student union. The proposed student union would be built near Waller Creek in northeast campus. Construction and m aintenance of the new union would be financed through a perma­ nent $29 per-semester fee increase. If the new union is approved by student vote, the University may match student fee money to pay for half of the $33 million construction coat. The student fee increase would be assessed after construction is com­ pleted near 2004. Students voting Wednesday held strong opinions for and against the new union. The current union is inadequate, and Texas Union officials should focus on other problems with the building said Chris Arnold, a geog­ raphy senior. "I think this union sucks. It is no fun to hang out in," Arnold said. Contract dealings delay beginning of DDP program 44 We’re pretty much ready to go on our end. are Wednesday because of the con­ tract negotiations. "If we had done it the way we wanted to, it would have cost too much," he added. We’re literally waiting for the administration.” Daily Texan Staff /Mafearv Q prtdh The new D esignated Driver Program shuttle service between Sixth Street and the campus area will start later than expected, DDP organizers said Wednesday The shuttle program was expect­ ed to start late this month, but con­ tract negotiations between UT offi­ cials and charter bus services have delayed the startup date to mid- November, said Debora Orrkk, coordinator for die Campus Alcohol and Drug Education Program. "We're pretty much ready to go on our end," she said. "We're liter­ ally waiting for the administra­ tion." As originally proposed, the new shuttle program would run in 40- minute cycles between campus, Sixth Street and the downtown area, including two stops on Seventh Street and nine stops in and around campus. But the negotiation committee changed die proposed DDP shuttle schedule to fit the DDP budget, said Stephen Janes, associate vice president for student affairs. He dedined to say what the changes The delay in the start of the pro­ gram occurred because the initial bid system generated offers exceeding the DD Ps $50,000 bud­ get, Janes said. The shuttle service could begin in the first part of November, he said. "It's our hope that if the bid is satisfactory and the DDP board is satisfied with it, then we can be in P t t M iim P P P . p t f 1 Continued from page 1 ter, the School of Business Administration will raise its student fee revenue from about $500,000 to $1.1 million annually, Mays said.

Holand said it has been refreshing for her to w’ork on initiatives like the phone dnve because she has had the opportunity to speak w ith people from towns all over the state. UT officials also announced last week the formation of five task forces to encourage more minority students to atten d the U niversity. The U n iv ersity 's new Initiative for Educational Diversity, which will mclude the new task forces, is sched­ uled to make recommendations con­ cerning UT admissions policies in dent tee incresses is Nov. 1. If approved, the technology fee wiD be assessed beginning September 1998, and most erf the new equipment and hard-wiring will be installed by that time, Leibrock said. The technology fee increase would be a permanent fee increase since an increased technological capacity has a built-in replacement cost, Mays said "There's no guarantee that there won't be more fee increases," he said. Additional business course-related fee increases under consideration would raise tire multimedia services fee from $8 to $16 per course, raise incidental computo fees from $55 to $82.50 for four certain undergraduate courses, and 16 graduate courses would have their incidental computer fees raised from $110 to $165. Business students also face an advising fee increase from $76 to $81 per semester because of the state- mandated $1,200 annual raise for state employees, said Arthur Allert, assistant dean of the school of busi­ ness. But the business council is most concerned with the technology and multimedia services fee, McGonigal said. shuttle system and the DDP taxi ser­ vice wtill account for about $42,000 in student fee money and $8,000 in pri­ vate donations, Orrick said.

Jack Kevorkian said Wednesday he plans to take his assisted suicide campaign to the next level by donating the organs of some of his patients after their deaths. "Here's a case where we can end the suffering of a patient and get organs back to save lives," the retired pathologist said dunng the telephone news conference. Kevorkian attorney Geoffrey Fieger said that he soon will be making a liver and kidneys available through his office for donation on a first-come, first-served basis to "whoever wishes to come forward." But Dr Jorge Reyes, a transplant surgeon at the nationally renowned University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, called the idea "totally unreal­ istic and almost fantastic." "1 don't think it's feasible," he said, explaining that organs are normally harvested from healthy patients and m hospital conditions Kevorkian has previously said that the ultimate aim of assisted suicide should be organ donation and human research, but Wednesday was the first tim e he disclosed plans to m ake organs available. Fieger said all the proper tests to match organs and check for disease will be followed. He said he would hold a news conference to discuss the first available organ* and that at that time the organs will have already been harv ested and be at his office. Because the organs have a limited time that they can survive out erf the body, Fieger plans to challenge authorities to accept the organs that come from an assisted suicide instead of more conventional sources, such as accidental deaths. Kevorkian said not all the people whose suicides he assists will donate their organs, because their diseases make only 5 percent to 10 percent erf them viable candidates. Kevorkian also said that if federal authorities do not allow the organs to be donated to a patient, he would China: State Department defends U.S. right to Continued from page 1 ~ Amencan people.” ~~~~ seek to have them transported over­ seas. Kevorkian has assisted in more than 70 but fewer than 100 suicides, Fieger said. Kevorkian has avoided conviction in four trials against him in connection with six deaths. Wednesday's news conference was hosted by Home Box Office, which produced a docum entary on Kevorkian set fo air Nov. 4. The docu­ mentan,- features videotapes made by Kevorkian during his consultations with people wanting him to assist in their suicide. Kevorkian said he had no role in making the documentary and heard about it only recently. open protests In one area of contention, > u said China objects to Secretary of State to M ad elein e A lb rig h t's plan appoint a U.S. coordinator to Tibet, possibly by Nov. 1.

CAMPUS NOTEBOOK Oliver North urges Syracuse students to take hold of lives ■ SY R A C U SE , N.Y. — Lt. Col. Oliver \orth told students at Syracuse Uni- v e rs ity T u esd ay that u n fu lfille d expectations are the greatest cause of anger on the planet. "I believe it's true in mamage, in parent-child relationships, with your and it is also true about teachers government" he' said. North issued a challenge to the students attending fi> speech to think about their expec­ tations for the future. Speaking as a member of the gener­ ation whose future is "at best, uncer­ tain," he said the only hope fui a bet­ ter future lies in "engaging yourself in the process, to change it." Abruptly switching his subject to the U S Constitution, he referred to the B ill of Rights when he deemed unconstitutional things such as public curfews, the nght of the government to invade public housing at any time and government regulation of indus­ trial emissions. As he stated at the beginning of the speech, his main goal was to provoke thought about ideas that "m ay not be articulated by the more liberal mem­ bers of the academic community. ” In the question and answer penod that followed. North fielded several questions ranging from his involve­ ment in the Iran-Contra affair to the current state of the media. One question he answered from an unidentified audience member was about his stance on the right to bear arms and hi*-firm belief mthesanctitvofhfe. North concluded the speech by urg­ ing students to take an active role in shaping file government of tomorrow If vou get your degree and then go out to make millions of dollars with only yourself in mind, and vou let fix professional politicians make all the decisions, then you have no one to blame but vourself," he said.

PETER YAN6/Daily Texan Staff Curry tops pay list of college heads IH n rsftyM re BOSTON, Mass. — Raking in almost $1 million in salary and benefits, former Northeastern University President John Currv w as the country' s highest paid college president in 1995-%, according to a survey in this week's Chronicle of Higher Education. Northeastern paid C urry $995,358, more than double the earnings of the next highest paid president, Joe W yatt of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The salary for the U T president is about $200,000. Currv, who served as president of N ortheastern from 1989 to 1996, received a base salary of $284,000. He w ill receive the additional $711,358 in benefits over the next three years, but federal law required Northeastern to report the full amount of the award in the year it was given. The average pay and benefits for presidents at research universities was $333,239, according to the report. Curry's benefits included $295,000 from fiie early retirement plan the university had at the time; a $295,000 buyout of his five-year teaching contract; $21,000 in detened compensation and life insurance pohoes; and an extra $100,000 bonus from the Board erf Trustees# George M atthew s, ch a ir of the N ortheastern U n iv e rs ity Board of Trustees, said a bonus like the one the board gave Curry is typical in the busi­ ness world. The bonus was the board's w ay of thanking Curry for his 36 years of ser­ vice to the university, and Matthews, admitted that $100.000 may seem like a lot to students. When Curry assumed the presidency, Northeastern was in a state of financial cri­ sis, and suffered from a 38-percent drop in enrollments. During the early 1990s, Curry cut $60 million from the budget, eliminated 700 jobs and withheld raises in three different years. Throughout Curry's tenure, North­ eastern saw student fin a n cia l aid increase from $8 million to $40 million per year, the average S A T score of entering freshmen rise about 70 points and the university's endowment grow from $78 million to $300 million.

Hankinson, who once represented several Dallas-area school districts in die fight against the Robin Hood school funding sys­ tem, was named a justice of the Texas Supreme Court Wednesday. Gov. George W. Bush named the former special education teacher and Dallas appellate judge to replace Justice John Comyn, who resigned after declaring he would seek the Republican nomination for state attorney general. In making Hankinson the third woman on tne nine-member panel, Bush said she was known for integrity and fairness as a judge on the 5th Court of Appeals. • "Judge Hankinson combines one of the brightest legal minds in the state with a conservative judicial philosophy that understands judges should interpret the- law, not attempt to legislate from the bench," Bush said. Gov. George W. Bush announces the appointment of Judge Deborah G. Hankinson, left as justice of the Supreme Court of Texas during a news conference in Dallas ASSOCIATED PRESS A graduate of Purdue University with a master's in special education from the University of Texas-Dallas, Hankinson, 44, worked as a special education teacher in Plano before attending Southern Methodist Uni­ versity law school. She was a cum laude law school graduate and was ranked first in her class in 1983. Hankinson then served as an attor­ ney at the law firm of Thompson and Knight in Dallas until her 1995 appointment to the appellate court. "I've seen the impact that die law has had on people," Hankinson said. "I plan to operate with intel­ lectual humility, remembering that we serve die people of the state." Associates who have worked with Hankinson describe her as a brilliant attorney whose reputation as a legal scholar more than com- pensates for her limited experience as a judge. "It was a big loss to us when she was appointed to the Dallas Court of Appeals," said attorney John Martin, head of the trial department at Thompson and Knight. "She is one of the most intelligent lawyers I have ever met and she quickly developed a reputation as a scholar of the first order." Martin said Hankinson has man­ aged to avoid political entangle­ ments and was noticed almost solely on her merits as a competent lawyer. Nonetheless, she drew the spot­ light in 1991 when she represented the Highland Park, Plano and Richardson school districts and con­ tended that the funding system would cause "irreparable harm" to public education by leaving schools with inadequate funds. For nearly 10 years, lawmakers struggled over school funding before devising the sh a r e -the-wealth plan in 1993. Before then, three school fund­ ing plans were ruled unconstitution­ al by the Texas Supreme Court. The current system, upheld by the court in 1995, depends heavily on local school property taxes and state contributions to pay for school operations. The plan forces "w ealth y" schools to share their money with districts that have less taxable prop­ erty from which to raise local school funds for themselves. Hankinson skirted direct questions about whether she believes the Robin Hood system is illegal, but said she still stands by her original interpreta­ tion of state law regarding the issue. Lottery Commission considers firing top director, officials A se e d e M d F r m DALLAS — Lawrence Littwin's future as the executive director of the Texas Lottery might be in jeop­ ardy.

Acclaimed architect suggests friendlier buildings for Austin Jennifer Valentino Daily Texan Staff Architects for new UT buildings should design structures that are more friendly to students and the environ­ ment, internationally renowned archi­ tect Christopher Day told an audience at the Joe C. Thompson Conference Center on Wednesday. "We meet the world through our senses and these affect our feelings," Day, who advocates environmental- ly-safe construction and architectural design, said. Day's 1990 book. Places of the Soul, called attention to environmental flaws in modem architectural design. "He is one of the important people in the evolution of this natural move­ ment," said Michael Garrison, an associate professor in the School of Architecture. Day's designs include the use of natural lighting and ventilation as well as native building materials such as stone and wood. Garrison said Day's architectural ideas were once considered unusual but this type of architectural plan­ ning is now more in the mainstream. "I'd be hard-pressed to find some­ one who openly disagrees with these ideas," he said. "You're not going to find many people here who argue against Mother Nature." Day's lecture, titled "Architecture as a Healing Art," was sponsored in part by the Austin Green Building Program, a division of the City of Austin Planning, Environmental and Conservation Services Department. The program promotes the use of environmentally-sound policies in construction and development with­ in the dty. "We all work with builders and architects to promote building pro­ grams that don't compromise the resources of future generations,' said Jill Mayfield, event organizer with the Green Building Program. "He emphasizes the tie between a building and its place Garrison said. Day also focuses on the responses that a building produces in people that use it. "The shape and proportion of buildings induce different postures in us," Day said. He added that dispro­ portionately large structures like the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum and Beauford H. Jester Cen­ ter detract from a feeling of commu­ nity. Looking around the windowless Joe C. Thompson Conference Center lecture hall, Day said it was a perfect example of a "harsh and unwelcom­ ing environment.’ He described the open areas of campus, like the West Mall, as "very pleasant" because they worked well with the community and the environ­ ment. "There's even increasing aware­ ness that architecture can support crime," Day said, using the depress­ ing architecture of housing projects and impoverished urban neighbor­ hoods as examples. Day suggested that architects designing new buildings should decide what moods and feelings they want them to promote before they begin work. Many of the people who attended the lecture were Austin area builders and environmentalists. "I just wanted to meet some of the other people that were interested in building with natural products," said Carole Malone, an LBJ library employee and president of the Texas Bamboo Society. Duncan Echelson, a developer with Bowerbird construction, said new environmentally sound building methods are becoming more impor­ tant in the construction business.

Air bags do not eliminate the need for safety belts, and they offer no protection in rollovers, rear or side impacts. Safety belts help keep you in place should a collision occur. • Air bags and children. Warning— children can be killed or seriously injured by an air bag. The safest place for children 12 years of age and under is the rear seat. Infants under one year of age and at least 20 pounds must ride in a rear-facing child seat. NEVER use a rear-facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with a front passenger air bag. • Safety Belt Systems. Safety belts are your best protection in a crash. They prev­ ent you from colliding with the dashboard or windshield and hold you inside the vehicle. Children who have outgrown safety seats and booster seats are better protected by lap/shoulder belts than by lap belts alone. Most younger children who have outgrown their convertible child seat at approximately 4 years of age and 40 pounds still need a booster child safety seat to help the shoulder/lap belt fit properly. Booster seats with shields are designed to be used when only a lap belt is available. If several children are riding in back, and there are shoulder belts there, let the older ones use the shoulder and lap belts. Put the child riding in the car seat in the middle where there is only a lap belt. Results for current models are released throughout the year.

Prosecutors said the defendants worked as a gang for more than a decade, preying (in vulnerable for­ eign to u rists , e s p e c ia lly w o m en and the elderly. The men were indicted in 1996 in an investigation of more than 200 tourist robberies. They face federal charges related to about 50 of the h o ld u p s : o p e r a t i n g a c r im i n a l enterprise and violation of inter­ state and international commerce laws. The use of federal laws to prose­ cute crim es traditionally handled in state court is controversial and has increased in the last decade. But prosecutors in Florida said the law on interfering with commerce has rarely been used against street robberies. The d e f e n d a n t s h a ve a lr e a d y been co n v ic te d in state court of robbery and related crim es. The federal charges would allow sen- fencing under tougher U.S. guide­ lines that require inmates to serve 85 percent of their sentences. "This is a classic case where the U.S. government can make a differ­ en ce in this so rt of c rim e ," U.S. A ttorney Tom Scott said. "W e 're targeting groups like this." The defendants have complained that the use of ra c k e tee rin g and in t e r n a t io n a l c o m m e r c e law s is ra c is t and u nfair. E le v e n o f the men are black. D efense attorn eys argued that prosecutors are overreaching and th a t th e r e w as no r a c k e t e e r i n g enterprise. "T h i s is a bu n ch of u n r e la te d a ll e g e d r o b b e r i e s , " s a id B ill M atthewman, attorney for defen­ dant Sherman Douglas. The men could get 20 years to life if c o n v i c t e d ; s e v e r a l h a v e already been sentenced to five to 10 years for their co n v ictio n s in state court. During her opening statement, prosecutor Monique Roth said the men studied the habits of tourists and learned how to track a rental car and deceive its occupants into stopping. To the defendants, "tourist sea­ son in Miami was open s ea so n ," Roth said. "They were looking for the b est p eop le to rob and they d ecid ed on to u rists. This m a x i­ mized their profits and minimized their risks."

After the murders, the num ber o f f o r e ig n v i s it o r s to F lo r id a dropped 10 percent in 1994. The industry rebounded in 1995 after the state took num erous steps to improve tourist safety. The state postéd armed guards at highw ay rest areas. Rental car agencies removed stickers or plates that identified their cars as rentals. Airlines cautioned tourists about safety. In South Florida, improved road signs guided tourists to popu­ lar destinations, and crisis hot lines were set up. A special police unit now patrols rental car areas near Miami International Airport. Opening statem ents in the trial were delayed a day because of a melee at the federal prison when the defendants rushed the guards.

Magazine sellers in Cincinnati had shied away from haw king Hustler ever since 1977, w hen Flynt was found guilty of pandering obscenity. So Flynt, w hose conviction w as overturned, decided to open u p shop for himself. "It's exciting," said Flynt, who sat next to the cash register and chatted w ith customers. "All the support has been extremely amazing." About six protesters held signs saying "Pom hurts children" and "This is where filth is sold." Undeterred, about 50 people h ad lined u p before the 8 a.m. opening of Hustler Books, Mag­ azines and Gifts. They were followed by many others who strolled inside to get signed copies of the magazine that Flynt created 20 years ago to drum up business for his go-go dubs. He sold and autographed about 1,000 copies in the first two hours. "I'm just here to support freedom of speech," said Rob Monger, who bought one of the first copies. One customer was anti-pom City Council can­ didate Rosemary Meyer. She bought three copies — one each for the police chieá, sheriff and courv I ty prosecutor. "I don't w ant to let Larry Flynt establish the values for this dty," M eya- said. While law enforcement officials doubted Flynt w ould be arrested this time around, the City Council passed a hastily written ordinance Tues­ day that required a spedal license if a "signifi­ cant" portion of a store's merchandise is adult- oriented. It was undear what, constituted a sig­ nificant portion, however. Flynt said less h a n half of tire merchandise in his shop was sex oriented. In addition to explidt magazines, videos and adult toys, the shop also sells mainstream publications such as Time mag­ azine and major newspapers. "Do you think they'll try to shut you down?" a fan asked Flynt. "Oh, I imagine they'll try," he said. Many think community standards in Cincin­ nati have changed and grown more accepting of adult magazines. Others, however, say there is still a line that cannot be crossed. "I am not going to run into a grand jury this afternoon seeking an indictment against Larry Flynt," Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters told a radio station. "But if he panders obscenity, or it is a bona fide attempt to pander obscenity, I don't care who it is, they will be prosecuted." Flynt sold thousands of copies of Hustler during the first few hours the store w as open. A SS O C IA T ED PRESS Civil War love story shines in ‘Cold Mountain’ Faenando Ortiz, Jr. Daily Texan Staff Hopeless rom antics' m ost fervent belief is this: Tw o people not m eant for each other w ill n e v e r tru ly unite, re g a rd le ss of th eir proxim ity or relationship. If tw o people are m e a n t fo r each o th e r, h o w e v e r, e v e n if they're on opposite sides of the world or in opposite ends of time itelf, absolutely noth­ ing can keep them apart. Charles Frazier believes in this w onderful idea, and he majestically expresses it in Cold M ou n tain , a fre sh , c o m p le x m a ste rp ie c e dram a of two people destined for each oth­ er's love in the m idst of the American Civil War. The w orld sep aratin g these tw o people, Ada a n d Inm an, is late 1864 A m erica. Lt. G e n . U.S. G ra n t a n d th e A rm y of th e Potom ac are tightening their stranglehold on P e te rsb u rg a n d R ichm ond. T he S o u th ern landscape is scarred an d barren, im pover­ ished by the logistical needs of Confederate m ilitary efforts. Inm an is a severely w ounded Confederate soldier w ho longs for the w arm serenity of h is h o m e, a sm all, m isty o u t-o f-th e -w a y region in western N orth Carolina dom inated by to w e rin g C o ld M o u n ta in . In m an h as COLD MOUNTAIN Author Charles Frazier P u blish er Atlantic Monthly fought in the w ar since it began and can no longer rem em ber w hy he's participating. He deserts from the Army of N orthern Virginia and quietly heads west. The last thing Inman still believes in is the healing pow er of Cold M ountain, his life's symbol of security and safety, where A da's heart m ight still be there to embrace him. Ada is a young wom an raised in pre-war C harleston, S.C. She's ed ucated, cultured, independent and solitary. Ada accompanied h e r p reach er father, M onroe, to a ham let near Cold M ountain, where he hoped to lead a healthier life in the countryside. It is there that Inman met and fell in love w ith Ada. But the Civil W ar erupted, and Inm an ran off in a patriotic fervor to Virginia. Monroe is now dead and A da's no farmer. The lush farm his money built is in desperate disar­ ray, and she's alone. No one is left to help her except Ruby, a fatherless, hard-as-nails wom an who suddenly appears to offer assis­ tance. She's determ ined to teach Ada to take care of herself and revitalize the farm. And so Cold Mountain begins, chronicling the journeys tw o individuals m ake, arm ed with optim ism and resolve. O ne waits and struggles to build a new life; another wades through the detritus of countless shattered lives, h o p in g to recover the one he lost so long ago. In m a n w a n d e rs th ro u g h th e scorched, tram pled N orth Carolina countryside, find­ ing reflections of his ow n decim ated psyche in the la n d scap e. He e n c o u n te rs dancing gypsies and drunken hunters, brutal fugitive Union troops and frightened deserters like himself. Some help him along. Some try to kill him. Some just stare at him as he strolls by. Each character he meets has h is/h e r own tragedy to lam ent, each a h eartw renchm g novella in itself. F ra z ie r b e a u tifu lly illu s tra te s In m a n 's odyssey w ith gentle lyrical p hrases. They bring forth b o th the the allure of n a tu re 's gently changing seasons and the terro r of unpredictability. It's incredible how Frazier can take the sm allest details of a rain d ro p falling off a leaf or rays of sunlight breaking th ro u g h storm clouds and transform them into passionate expressions. But A d a 's g ra d u a l d ev elo p m en t from a sh iv e rin g S o u th e rn b elle tra p p e d in th e W ilderness to a h a rd e n e d farm er is Cold Mountain's heart and soul. Ruby is her cata­ lyst. Every facet of Ruby's essence has been tw isted by an underlying sorrow for a negli­ g en t father. H er p riceless co n trib u tio n to A da's life is not just an endeavor to rejuve­ nate a dilapidated farm, Frazier tells us, but also an attem pt to find a sliver of love for life left in her neglected heart. Every recultivat­ ed field, everv new fence, every bigger crop is for Ruby a step closer to that dream. Frazier is lavish in his description of both women: Ruby's grace in pulling a horse out of the m ud; A da's sparkle of her tear-filled eyes w hen they turn up to the stars. W hat m akes Cold M o u n t a i n so tearfu lly memorable is the grand underlying premise that true love conquers all. Ada m oves in her ow n way tow ard Inm an, and Inm an in his way tow ard her, not even poverty, civil w ar or N ature keeping them apart. Frazier has created a fine w ork of historical literature, and the Civil W ar genre is blessed to count him am ong its luminaries.

Williams claimed damages of $5,000 for lost wages and civil battery after losing his job as on drummer Lydon's Psycho's Path album concert tour this summer. Gori Rotten even demanded that photographers hand over their negatives. But Spice G irl Geri came down with an undisclosed illness and was unable to fly, Peter N ilsson, spokesm an for the group's record label, Virgin, told news agency TT on Wednesday. The Spice Girls were to perform at a tele­ vised benefit concert. The group's current hit is "Spice Up Your Life." But according to Lydon, former lead singer of the Sex Pistols, Williams clashed with band mem­ bers and quit after a rancorous dinner meeting. After a small claims court suit was filed, the Judge Judy show offered to resolve the case, and the Judge ruled in Lydon's favor. "Now I'm going to get on with my life. We're going after the real killers," Lydon said afterward, alluding to the comment O.J. Simpson made after his murder-trial acquittal. The Judge Judy episode featuring Lydon's case will air in three to four weeks.

PEOPLE MOVERS By: The Elevator Drop6 Label: Time Bomb Ratmg: ★★★★(out of five) If you are not familiar with the music of The Elevator Drops, con­ sider yourself very lucky. You are spared confusion and bewilderment that are generated by an amalagam of everything from the Beach Boys ‘ to the West Side Story. Their latest work, People Mover, a 17-song epic, seems to demonstrate that The Ele­ vator Drops have absolutely no direction, goal, theme, and taste. Or at least on the surface. Am idst the m ixture of Pink Floyd-ish synthesizer sounds and cheesy lyrics ("New York's insane and Tokyo's no better. I feel run dewn, just like Eddie Vedder") the touching ballads stand out and hit you blindly, a bit like John Lennon in songs like "How" and "God." In a time when following a certain musical genre is given much impor­ tance — look at your friends and yourself, listening to The Elevator Drops breaks any kind of musical connection: You have nothing to relate to except The Elevator Drops. You ask yourself, why are they doing this to me? And the only way out is to just accept that The Eleva­ tor Drops, through People M over, create brilliant rock music that tran­ scends what rock is. But then again, this is rock. J The titles tell you a lot— "The ’"March of the Kraftwerk Republi- {»can ts," "The Theme to the Gary Newman Show," "Unabomber Vs. ' ‘ H ollyw ood." And they tell you [/nothing. The only thing that is sure is that Goolkasin's desperate voice somehow works w ith Garvy J.'s neurotic guitar playing and Fitts' unpretentious drum beats. There is no congruity within songs. As soon as you assume anything, the songs change into something quite differ­ ent, filled with both subtle and bla­ tant contrasts: In "$7 single," the piano intro is followed by heavy guitar transitions and a chorus that has string arrangem ents — all to lyrics like, "H ate your stupid friends. Think they own you. Get so side inside I want to hurt them just like you hurt me." People Mover is simply strange, unconstrained, and powerful. With­ in confusion, The Elevator Drops succeed in achieving clarity by standing completely detached from many of today's popular music. Their sound represents the mixture of acoustic and electric that . . . oH, just forget it. I can't go on. —Cheehyung Kim CREATION By: The James Taylor Quartet Labal: Acid Jazz/Holllywood Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ (o u t of five) To those who in ev itab ly get thrown off by the name: No, the JT Quartet isn't led by that James Tay­ lor. This British group drops the rain and comes on that much harder with the fire, prompting your ass to get up and m ove just a m om ent before organist JT and his band plant their collective foot in it. Most of the material on Creation, the JT Quartet's fourth U.S. release, grooves in a cerebral way. It's not funky a la P-Funk, nor as acidic as acid jazzers might have it, but many of the songs knock you down with their finesse rather than with brute force. The police siren-and-tambourine groove that starts off Creation is also the lead off to "T h e Them e from Starsky and Hutch." Those of you old enough to rem em ber the stylings of S&H, along with their pimpin' pal Huggy Bear, should dig on this phat groove, filled with Tay­ lor's organ and a generous dose of wiry bass. T h ere's m ore them es w here Starsky and Hutch came from, too. We also get the signature sounds of Dirty Harry (featuring the mother of all wah-wah pedal indulgences) and the som ber ring of "T h e Them e from A Far Away Land." "Selectivity" marries an up-tempo mix of bass, brass and percussion into a herky-jerky groove, while "Creation (fanfare for a 3rd millen­ nium)" offers a spacey arrangement. sound bites The most acidic of the true add jazz offerings is the mellow "Summer Fantasy." The album threatens to start winding down a bit with the slight­ ly sinister vibe of "Road Rage," but the next song, "Check It Out,' comes mildly funkalicious again with a keyboard-heavy flavor. Then, after the bedroom sax appeal of "Grass Is Not Greener" and "The Theme from A Far Away Land," we get the last of our title songs, "A u stin 's Them e," which first appeared on the soundtrack of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. In a roundabout w ay, it's an appropriate tune to end an album that is, to say the least, smashing. The James Taylor Quartet plays Friday night at Stubb's. —Heath Shelby DOTS AND LOOPS By: Stereolab Label: Eiektra Rating: ★★(out of five) ____ The concept behind the new Stereo­ lab record is a good one. The group recorded the entire album onto a computer in segments. These bits and pieces were then used to construct the tracks, hence the album title. Before the album came out, songwriter Tim Gane said that the band was rehears­ ing intensively just to learn the songs that they had never performed per se. With additional help in production, track construction and playing from Tortoise's John McEntire and Douglas McCombs in Chicago and the elec­ tronic group Mouse on Mars in Ger­ many, the result promised to be a widely varied and inventive album. Unfortunately, the results of the album prove otherwise. While Stereolab's last record Emper­ or Tomato Ketchup was a leap forward, Dots and Loops is mired in the tired . sounds of lounge and exotica. The varied "dots," as fresh as they sound, are used mainly in the beginnings and ends of tracks with sprinkling within the tracks. The "loops" grow tiresome unlike the two chord drones of previous albums. The ever-present Farfisa organ, horns and Laetitia Sadier's cool, French vocals never sounded as cloying as they do on this record, tediously used on most every track. And while John M cEntire's vibraphone playing is perfectly com­ petent, its use furth&r suggests the exotica sound. The band has added a new element in the drum machine rhythms used on some tracks (added most likely by their collaborators), but it's not enough of a spark to enliven the songs. No one track is at fault really. The album starts out with a spluttering of electronics fading into the cool, up tempo "Brakhage" (supposedly a ref­ erence to the experimental filmmaker who visited Austin not too long ago). On top of the basic two-chord riff, vibraphone and vocals create their own looping riffs combining for a pleasant whole. Unfortunately, that formula is used track after track. Taken as a whole, the album is quite a bore. No musical breakouts occur and * the wonderful, energetic trance states the band used to evoke in their longer CLOTHES FOR Thur.

The band attempts some interest­ ing work on two tracks, "Refractions in the Plastic Pulse" and "Con- tronatura," by stringing several differ­ ent song ideas bridged by interesting electronically created "dots." The con­ glomerations seem to have little rhyme or reason, though. Why do these ideas go together rather than exist as discrete tracks? Rather than using the "dots and loops" concept to push themselves creatively, Stereolab is content with an aping of past musi­ cal trends and themselves. —John St. Denis SPACE GHOSTS M u s ic a l b a r -b -q u e Label: Kid Rmc Records Rating: ★★★(out of five) daily affirmations was released and addressed the need for humorous breaks between songs on compilation tapes. The show was such a success that the variety program Cartoon Planet was created. This show features Space Ghost, Zorak and Brak, an imbecilic creature with, honest to God, the funni­ est voice I have evo- heard. The show is a riot and this new disc is a sampler of musical tracks and short skits. Witness "Oh Fun Key Bay Bee," "Don't Touch Me" or "The Song That Doesn't End"— and those aren't even the funniest ones. It's not really a CD that should be listened to in one sitting, but a track here and there will keep you in stitches. —John St. Denis I don't know about you, but I regu­ larly make compilation tapes for friends. Often you've got a minute or two at die end of a side and nothing to fill it up with. I was blessed in finding the Space Ghost Coast to Coast CD. If you've never caught this interplanetary crusader's show on the Cartoon Net­ work, you haven't laughed. Through computer manipulation, the original Space Ghost animations are redubbed so that die hero hosts a talk show with "real" people, assisted by his captured enemies Zorak, a gravelly voiced pray­ ing mantis-like creature, and the radia­ tion-suited Moitar.

N \ T h e D a ily T e x an Thursday, October 23,1997 Page 21 Groups condemn president’s climate plan WASHINGTON — In a decision falling short of environmentalists' hopes and his own promises, Presi­ dent Clinton presented a modest strategy Wednesday to combat global warming by gradually reduc­ ing greenhouse gases over the next two decades. _ "Make no mistake, the problem is real," the president said. "And if we do not change our course now, the consequences sooner or later will be destructive for America and for the world." After months of fierce debate within the administration, Clinton announced a plan embracing bind­ ing pollution curbs for the first time. But they are substantially below tar­ gets proposed by European nations and recommended by environmen­ talists. The plan calls for reducing carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases to 1990 levels by the five-year period of 2008 to 2012. In the five years after that, the goal is to reduce emissions below the 1990 mark. "Since it's a long-term problem requiring a long-term solution, it will be phased in over time," Clin­ ton said in a speech: at the National Geographic Society headquarters. Anxiously awaited by. global negotiators, Clinton's proposal came under swift attack at U.N.- sponsored talks among 150 coun­ tries seeking a consensus on manda­ tory cutbacks in greenhouse gases. "Something much more substan­ tial w ill need to come out of the White House if the United States is to face up to its global responsibili­ ties," said Peter Joergensen, envi­ ronment spokesman for the Euro­ pean Commission. Greenpeace, the international environmental group, said, "This is the 'black Wednesday' for th£ cli­ mate negotiations." Now meeting in Germany, the negotiators are struggling to reach an agreement in time for a December conference in Kyoto, Japan. Clinton also proposed $5 billion in tax breaks over the next five years to spur U.S. industry to adopt energy efficiencies and develop new technologies that would reduce America's reliance on fossil fuels — even before an international treaty goes into effect. In the United States, environmen­ talists complained Clinton's policy was too weak, and many critics on the other side warned it would raise energy prices and wipe out jobs. "It's a minimum starting point. It will not go nearly far enough to get us out of harm's way," said John Adams, executive director of the Natural Resources Defense Council. On the other hand. House Majori­ ty Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said Clinton "h a s decided that the debate on global warmjng is over and that we have to do something about it. That something will likely lead to higher taxes, more regula­ tions and a bigger government pres­ ence in our lives." " I know full well that some will criticize our targets and timetables as too ambitious," the president said. "And of course others will say we haven't gone far enough." Clinton was accompanied by Vice President Al Gore, who has made the environmental his top priority. The success or failure of Clinton's policy could have a major impact on Gore's presidential aspirations. Gore called Clinton's speech "a historic announcement" and said it would be regarded as the moment "when we really began to solve the most serious environmental prob­ lem we face." President Clinton and Vico Presidant Al Gora attend a meeting of business lead­ ers, scientists and environmentalists about global warming in Washington.
