He did not seek private contributions or matching public funds, financing the cam­ paign solely with his money. To put Bloomberg’s spending into perspec­ tive, billionaire Ross Perot spent $62 million on his failed bid for president in 1992. Harrison ashes go to holy river NEW DELHI, India — Eteorge Harrison’s long, intensely intimate relationship with Indian mysticism, music and Hinduism sent his wife and son on a pilgrimage to the holy Ganges River, where religious authorities said the former Beatles’ ashes would be scattered in a ceremony before dawn Tuesday. Harrison, 58, died of cancer in Los Angeles Thursday. Hanison’s widow, Olivia, and his 23-year- old son, Dhani, were to be accompanied by two Hare Krishna devotees who performed Hindu rites on Harrison’s ashes with the fami­ ly in London, a spokesman for the Internat­ ional Society of Krishna Consoiousness said. New therapy may control HIV WASHINGTON — An orvandoff medication cycle in which AIDS patients take a powerful drug combination for a week and then stop for a week may be able to control HIV, reduce side effects and cut costs in half. Researchers at the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Disease report that HIV infection did not grow worse in a group of patients on the alternating medication cycle. “If further studies bear out what we’ve seen so for, it will mean that you can reduce the cost of therapy by 50 percent” said Dr. Mark Dybul, a researcher at NIAID, which is one of the National Institutes of Health. Consumer spending rebounds WASHINGTON — Lured by nonnterest auto deals, Americans pushed up consumer spending by the largest amount ever in October. A closely watched manufacturing gauge rebounded a bit too, and construction spending halted a five-month slide. While insisting it was too early to declare that the recession was ending, economists said the figures provide hope for a possible economic rebound early in the new year. The Commerce Department said personal spending rose by a record 2.9 percent in October.

Arafat was in the West Bank at the time of the attack. Early Tuesday, Palestinians said tanks had entered Gaza Israeli Airport, firing machine guns and damaging the runway. The Israeli military had no immediate comment. Sharon convened an emergency Cabinet meeting to decide the scope of Israel's response to suicide bomb­ ings and shootings by Islamic mili­ tant groups, killing 26 people in Israel on Saturday and Sunday. $m GAZA, Page 2 LATEST DEVELOPMENTS • Anti-Taliban fighters battled for control of Kandahar’s airport as American bombers pounded suspected hide-outs of Osama bin Laden in the rugged White Mountains near the border with F>akistah. • The Bush administration wants Americans to remain on a high state of alert at least through the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in mid-December. • Meeting in Germany, four Afghan factions agreed early Tuesday on a framework for a post-Taliban administration, finalizing the text of an agreement establishing a 29- member interim governing council. • The United States and Canada signed agreements to increase border security and coordinate immigration policies to secure the world’s largest trade relation­ ship. ► See related coverage, Page 3 Sanchez’s bank failed to report contributions Bank VP accepts responsibility fo r error By Celina Moreno Daily Texan Staff The Laredo-based International Bank of Commerce, run by Democratic guber­ natorial candidate and UT Regent Tony Sanchez, has failed for nearly two years to file reports to state and federal agen­ cies on its financial contributions to political candidates. But campaign manager Michelle Kucera said that as an IBC board member, Sanchez doesn't over­ see the bank's political action committee — which is comprised of bank executives — solicits money that from employees and the board of directors for campaign contribu­ tions. • Tony Sanchez: Gubernatorial candidate and UT regent "The reality is that as a board member, [Sanchez] does not oversee the PAC," she said. "However, he has said, 'Ultimately the bu v '’tops here.' As a businessman, he hires peo­ ple in trust that they're going to do the jobs they're hired to do, but when that doesn't happen or when there is a prob­ lem, he steps in to resolve it." Both the Federal Election Commission and the Texas Ethics Commission sent IBC repeated notices during 2000 and 2001 warning that its PAC had not filed reports required by law. Jorge Haynes, IBC vice presi nt and PAC treasurer, has solely taken t me for the omission. Haynes said there was "no excuse" for his delay to file the reports, which he said will be sent immediately to the appropriate authorities. %— SANCHEZ, P*g« 2 A Palestinian family crouch­ es against a wall after they fled their house near Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s head­ quarters in Gaza City Monday.

Associated Press Student groups ivorry peace process at a halt due to recent acts of violence By Jennifer Mock Daily Texan Staff UT student organizations had mixed feelings Monday in the wake of continued violence in the Middle East. Weekend suicide bombings in Israel and subsequent retaliatory attacks on Palestinian settlements Monday morning have pushed the peace process even further away, said students on both sides of the issue. Mir Alikhan, a biology junior and president of the Muslim Student Association, said though he supports the Palestinian cause, he cannot con­ done the suicide bombers' actions. "Killing innocent people is never justified," he said. "The proper way is always a peaceful way, but facing reality, it is very difficult to form an organization there that places faith in leadership. The people are fed up with the leadership there right now and are taking things into their own hands." Alikhan said the key to achieving peace is to separate the fanatic sui­ cide bombers from Palestinian peo­ ple in general. Until then, he said, the conflict will continue and Israeli retaliation like that seen Monday morning is inevitable.

Associated Press DDP to not receive requested funds Lack o f information led to decision, committee chair says By Rachel Yates Daily Texan Staff The UT Designated Driver Program ended up with less than they'd hoped for after, the Student Services Fee Committee dealt out students' money to agencies this weekend. The DDP, which provides free taxi rides to students Thursday through Saturday from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., asked for $98,475 in fees, but the committee only approved $50,000. The DDP did not receive the full appropriation because it didn't provide the committee with enough information, said Jarrad Toussant, Student Govern­ ment vice president and the committee's chairman.

Luciana Castro/Daily Texan Staff B u il d in g t h e B lajnton M u s e u m By Elizabeth Egeland Daily Texan Staff T he Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art has faced many chal­ lenges in its history. The museum has dealt with differ­ ing viewpoints on its design, issues with parking, a change in architects — and it hasn't even been built yet. Though fhe Blanton Museum of Art has existed since 1963, the University's H000 works of art have never had heir own room for dis­ play. Through the end of spring 2001, foe Blanton exhibit space was divid­ ed between rooms in foe Harry Ransom Center and the Art Building. But now a select number of works are located solely in foe Art Building. Due to a lack of space, all foe art is unable to be displayed, said Austin Gleeson, Campus Master Plan Steering Committee chair and a physics professor. "We needed an expansion to serve a broader community. We should have a museum that's appropriate to the collection — a first-class museum." The University launched a capital campaign in 1997 to raise money for foe new museum, which will total $83.5 million. The current schedule maintains that the breaking of ground along with sitework is scheduled for September 2002 and will take about two years to complete. "We have a lot of art that needs to be displayed in the right way," said Nicole Chism Griffin, public affairs officer for the Jack S. Blanton Museum. "We want professors and teachers to be able to use our collec­ tion to teach in different angles and different ways. The art will be enhanced in a great new space." The Blanton Museum, which is broken down into two phases, will be built on the area southeast of the George I. Sanchez Building, and on foe parking lot adjacent to Beauford Rendering by Gil Gorski Above, the preliminary design for the Jack S.

"If they have free parking after 5:45 p m and they have foe same policy as they do now, then it would be OKI feel it's going to have problems." %— BLANTON, Pag# S CORRECTION In Monday’s edition of The Daily Texan, a front­ page article incorrectly stated that the 2 0 0 2 - 2003 student services fee will increase by $16.39 per semester. The fee will actually increase by $5.60 per semester. The Texan regrets the error. DDP can ask for more student fees in the spring DDP, from 1 T oussant said . The com m ittee also a sk e d the D D P to explore cost-cu ttin g m easu res such a s lim it­ ing its ran ge of service. Fou n d ed in 1989, the D D P h as faced tu r­ m oil in the last few years. For the 1999-2000 academ ic year, the com m ittee gran ted the DDP $53,000, but low ridersh ip an d ineffi­ cient service resulted in few er than 500 free cab rides.

Concerning Israel's airstrikes, Fleischer said, "Israel h as a right to defend itself."

But a sen ior Israeli m ilitan ' official, sp eakin g on condition of anonymity, said "very few, if an y " of the 108 m ilitants Israel w ants arrested are am ong those rounded up. In his televised speech, Sharon did not refer to Palestinian arrests and said A rafat w as directly responsible for terrorism su f­ fered by Israelis. Sharon said he w ould w age "w a r on te rro r... with all the m eans at our d isp o sal." "A rafat is the m ain im pedim ent to peace and stability in the M iddle E ast," Sharon said. "A rafat has chosen the path of terror [to] try to m ake diplom atic gain s through m urder." Sharon w arned: "We will p u rsu e those responsible, the perpetrators of terrorism , its su pporters and those w ho send them. We will p u rsu e them until w e catch them, and they will pay the price." Israeli m issiles struck a security com ­ pou n d near A rafat's seasid e headqu arters in G aza City, hitting one of his helicopters on its landing pad and the other in hangar. A rafat has at least one m ore helicopter. Shifa hospital in G aza reported 10 people injured in the attack. M issiles struck an u nderground fuel depot, cau sing a fire that poured out thick sm oke over G aza Citv. Security officials and civilians w'ere seen running for cover. But the com pound w as largely empty, since m ost Palestinians were hom e for Iftar, the traditional breaking of the daylon g fast d uring the Islam ic holy month of Ram adan. In the West Bank, Israeli F-16 w arplanes struck a Palestinian police building in the northern tow n of Jenin, Palestinian security officials said. In Bethlehem, a Palestinian w as killed in an explosion in a house. W itnesses said he w as apparently preparing a bom b, and it went off prematurely. Several m em bers of Sh aron 's Cabinet dem anded on M onday that Israel expel A rafat — w ho returned from exile in 1994 in accordance with interim peace accords and established enclaves of autonom y in the West Bank and Gaza. The Palestinians' U.N. observer, N asser al-Kidw a, said that if Sharon launched a full-scale attack on A rafat's adm inistration, "h e will be the one to be held responsible for the total breakdow n o f the situation." He said Israel w as trying to sabotage the peace process. P alestin ian C abinet M inister N ab il Shaath called the Israeli attack aggression. He said the Palestinians were trying to calm the public, "but the Israelis are not helping us, they are alw ays destroying our efforts." A survey in the n ew spaper Yediot Ahronot indicated that 37 percent of Israelis want the governm ent to topple Arafat, w hile 32 percent said Israel m ust begin accelerated peace talks without w aiting for a cease-fire. The su rvey by the D ahaf institute w as based on responses from 502 people and had a m argin of error of 4.3 percent. In other violence, a Palestinian w as killed in a gunbattle with Israeli troops near the West Bank city of Tulkarem late Sunday, and a Palestinian farm er w as shot and killed earlv M onday as he w alked tow’ard his field. The Israeli military said troops shot a Palestinian m an they su spected w as trying to plant a bom b.

"R igh t now they are treated like second-class citizens in w hat w as once their ow n land," he said. "I don't condone the suicide bom b­ ings, but I agree with the inten­ tions." A dam Block, an economics mnior and executive cabinet m em ber of Texas Hillel, said the bom bing in Jerusalem has been especially hard for students on cam pus. The bomb detonated on Ben Yehuda Street, which Block likened to nth Street in Austin. He said the street is lined w ith cafes, bars and stores and >erves as a com mon hang out tor Jerusalem 's youth, including him­ self and other Hillel students v> hen they visit Israel. Block, also a m ember o f Texans for Israel, said Texas Hillel is not planning any kind of vigil for the victim s of the suicide bom bings becau se violent actions like the bom bings have been happening for a long time now.

V IE W P O IN T Scattered Shots Piece off “It” After one of the longest teases and m edia cam paigns ever for a consum er product, New H am pshire inventor Dean Kam en finally unveiled w hat the press h as been wit­ tily refering to as ft or G inger" ... or whatever. Technophiles and computer vvonks alike h ave been anx­ iously aw aiting "It" and all the radiant h ope it could shed upon th eir lives. Th e hype even earned " I f ' a spoof in a recent episode o f South Park. " I t " as D espite th e m ystery, the the peop le h ailed greatest invention of the new m illeniu m — ev e n before thev w ere sure w h at "It" was. Technological h eav y -h itters like Steve Jobs, found er of Apple com puters, w ent so far as to say entire cities w ould be erected around "It." W e'll see. The hype is oven "It" was finally put on display Monday on The Today Show and, as it turns out, "It" is nothing but a high-end, electric scooter — a scooter. H eavy-d utv pricy models of the invention will be tested by A tla n ta 's postal delivery w orkers for $8,000 a pop. Kam en's com pany says a consum er model w ith a sug­ gested retail of about $3,000 w on't be available for at least a year. Associated P ress Inventor Dean Kamen demonstrates his Segway Human Transporter, a one- person, battery-powered scooter, in New York. The device, which travels at a top speed of about 17 miles per hour, uses gyro­ scopes to keep it upright and discern where the rider wants to go. The offcial nam e of "It" is the Segw ay H T — probably the result of hassles associated with tradem arking a pronoun. W hile no doubt a very inter­ esting contraption, the future o f American urban planning probably w on't revolve around a scooter. .Americans are too addicted to their cars and too stubborn to actually attem pt honest lifestyle changes — even though there are few legitimate defenses of our collective autom obile fetish. The Segwav HT is no doubt a high-tech marvel. The com plicated gyros, sensors and responders that allow' rid­ ers to rem ain balanced atop the scooter have already proven useful in w heelchair devices. Like m ost m arketing cam paigns, the end result usually never lives up to the hype, ln e Segw ay H T m ay not change the world, but it does have the potential for m any useful applications. The technology that gave rise to the Segw ay can help introduce electric pow er as a suitable m eans for personal transportation. Let's just hope the m anufacturers w on't let a scooter for laz\ ricn people be their coup de grace. The battle continues n a m . Tv- V >rld A ID S Day has com e and gone.

Happy boycotting, Brendan Stemhauser Government sophomore Alngal solution J would like to respond to Mr. Davis' comment about the war on drugs in his article (Drug war better than nothing, Nov. 3 0 ) I agree with the fact that if someone is going to criticize something, they should come up with an alternative. A man wiser and funnier than me once said I f s not a war on drugs, if s a war on personal freedom." I couldn't agree more with this man. Our policy in this country with drugs is retarded. If the people want to do drugs, then goddamrut let them do drugs Sure, legalizing all might sound scary to already some people, but people are doing drugs. The government could sim­ ple tax the shit out of the drugs and use the money for rehabilitation programs already in place. We could certainly save a lot of money letting out all of the nonvi­ olent drug offenders in jail. Some of you might recall a man by the name of Timothy Leary. He once had a vision of a society where people wouldn't prevent or force others to alter his or her own consciousness. It was beautiful vision that I hope is seen by more people one day. The truth of the matter is the current system doesn't work. Good people are going to jail because they choose to alter their consciousness or help someone alter theirs. I say let the people take their acid, their ecstasy, their pot. James Ryan Mason Electrical engineering junior Abortion ruins everything Last week on the front page, 1 saw some women showing some posters declaring that "pro-abortion equals pro- women." After a moment of shock, I began to wonder how it came to this. How does our country, or should 1 say, some people, believe that killing an unborn baby is a just act? Especially, when trying to show that they're "pro- women." Why abortion? Thaf s my ques­ tion. The only difference between men and women, in some people's eyes, is that women hav.e to toil with giving birth while men don't. So the best way to make them equal is to let women have the choice. But women and men aren't equal, and they never will be. Now, I'm not say­ ing that women are less than men. On the contrary, women can be more brilliant, more powerful and more prestigious than any man. Look at Condoleezza Rice, Margaret Thatcher and even Hillary Clinton. Women are not equal because of ’human nature and that's it. If my statement about abortion is true, and it is, then we need to step back and look at what we are doing. Abortion should not be used to gain something that does not exist (equality) We need to stop abortion before our country and its morals stumble even more. Lance Operhall Undeclared freshman W r i t e T o U s undw aná «hw^Nwlude your major i moan (a adit all latter» for bn Dean of students candidate interviewed Student debt increases, report says Matt Snyder, a journalism freshman, said he attended the forum because he recently joined a fraternity, and he and his friends wanted to hear the views that some of the candidates had on Greek life. Braverman also spoke on the necessity of balancing student interest with university policy, saying that the administration's policy should soley represent the benefit of the students' edu­ cation. Students interviewed David Braverman, the fourth of six final candidates for the 171 dean of students position, in an open forum Monday. students is to consider student opinion seriously and make it an important part of the decision-making process. By Ben Heath Daily Texan Staff Braverman, the current associate vice president for student affairs dt California State University, Sacramento, answered questions posed by the student audience and Lynne Milbum, moderator and chairwoman of the search committee. He answered the same five questions posed to every candi­ date, touching on diversity, the role of the dean of students and his qualifications for the job. He defined diversity as a wide range of opportunities, expecta­ tions, ideals and realities. He said a dean of students must be con­ scious of diversity in the student body and take a hands-on approach in dealing with various cultures and backgrounds. "You don't just set up a center • Dave Braverman: Dean of students can­ didate an3 say 'We're done,"' he said. "You can't just do a class or a one-hour seminar in a residence hall program. It is such a small world now. We are no longer a little isolated area." "We have rules and policies set up to make a good learning environment for all students," he said. "My mission would be derived from the university's mission. What can I do [to meet a student's needs]? Sometimes nothing, but I will do whatever I can." He also said he encourages activism and idealism and wants to develop close relationships with students and student organizations. Braverman founded a local chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma at the University of Missouri as a student there, and he cites the experience as a major influence in his life. "It's made me much more idealistic. I was looking for a .value system," he said, adding that, when a group can share similar values, it can be an extremely positive experience. About 30 studepts attended the event, many of whom have made a habit of coming to these open forums since the first interview Nov. 15. "This is a really important position for all students," said Frances Valdez, a Latin American studies and Mexican American studies senior, who has attended three of the forums. "I think that, since we have an opportunity to be involved, we need to make sure that we hire the dean of students that will be an advocate for students.". Valdez said she thinks the most important role of the dean of "We thought we might check out the candidates since the position is head of Greek life," Snyder said. "I don't know much about the position. I came to get educated about the whole situation." Students, who are given the chance to evaluate each candi­ date at the end of die forum, had mixed reactions about Braverman. "He wouldn't be my first choice," Valdez said. "What both­ ered me most was his stance on student interest versus admin­ istrative interest. He seemed to assume that university policy is beneficial to the students, and you can't assume that, especial­ ly at UT. I would have preferred it if he had suggested a re-eval­ uation of the policy." Snyder, however, liked what Braverman had to say. "He has a background in Greek life, and he [does not sup­ port] hazing, which is one thing our frat is against," he saicj. The student evaluations will be considered by Jim Vick, vice president for student affairs, who will make the final hiring decision for the new dean. Forums for the remaining two candidates will be held at 4 p.m. today and Thursday in the Student Services Building, Glenn W. Maloney Room. Blanton Museum faces issues of design, space m useum and w ork within a master plan guide," de Shong said. "O ur buildings are authentic, not fake. We don't do historirist architecture. We m ay have been given a bad reputation for that. Texas has a fabric of buildings that are sensational on the 40 Acres, and w e're trying to build and make it sort of contextual." R ather than sim ply focusing on the m useum 's outw ard appearance, de Shong said it is im portant to note the w ork McKinnell has done on the inside. "Sometimes buildings have great surpris­ es on the inside," de Shong said. "Well, this will be of that kind of building.' The processional through the galleries will be a w orld-class experience. The University and Austin will be lucky to have a m useum of this quality." De Shong said he expects visitors to be impressed with the atrium in the first phase of the museum in addition to its use of lighting — McKinnell worked to blend nat­ ural and artificial light through the use of skylights. "It's got to be show n extremelv well; I think w e're challenging ourselves on that, and it's going to be a rave success," de Shong said. "With our firm, the space creat­ ed with the building is every bit as im por­ tant if not more im portant than the building itself." By Esther Wang Daily Texan Staff More students are borrowing money from the fed­ eral government in the form of student loans, accord­ ing to a report released last week bv the American Council on Education. The study tracked the number of students who took out loans and the amount of money they received, from 1992 to 2001. The report stated that the number of public univer­ sity students who took out loans increased bv about 50 percent in the 10-vear period studied, from 40 per­ cent in 1992 to 60 percent in 2001, and the amount of money they received more than doubled, from $6,449 to $15,375. The average federal student loan debt for UT undergraduates who take out Federal Stafford Loans is $15,633, just slight!v more than the national mean. There are several reasons for the dramatic increases over the past decade, said Jacqueline King, director of the ACE Center for Policy Analysis and the author of the report. Increasing tuition across the board is part of the picture, she said, but not the entire answer. "You're seeing a general increase in borrowing beyond increasing college costs, tuition is not all of it," King said. "Some students are taking advantage to finance a nicer place to live, [or] a nicer car." Contributing to those factors, she said, in 1992 the federal government opened the loan program to all undergraduates, even those who did not exhibit finan­ cial need. Don Davis, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Services, said while the cost of attending college has increased, the amount of monev available through work '-tudv and grant programs has remained static. "So how are you going to meet that gap1 You meet it by borrowing more monev, Davis said. Fewer parents are putting aside monev tor their children's college educations, he added. "The generation of parents from 20 vears ago tend­ ed to be savers, thev planned for those educations, Davis said. "The ones we have now are spenders, con­ sumers, [who] have not saved monev and instead have chosen lifestyle choices.' Many students also take out pnvate loans and relv on credit cards to pay for college, adding to an under­ graduate's debt, Davis said. Sharon Steiner, an architecture junior, >ees manv of her fellow students going into debt because of their parents' inability to shoulder the cost of a college edu­ cation. "I knowr a lot of people who have maxed out their credit cards for basic living expenses, because thev're on their own," Steiner said. Students' increased dependence on loans is defi­ nitely a burden and a penalty to undergraduates, Davis said. But Davis and King agree that to a student taking out a loan, the amount of debt rem aus manageable. For the undergraduate with the median amount of student loan debt, paying it oft over a span ot l b vears translates to $180 a month, an amount that King savs is "reasonable and not overlv burdensome.' BLANTON, from 1 The location will result in the closing of Speedway to traffic, similar to the creation of the Speedway Mall last fall, said Gleeson. With the Capitol on the south side of the the Blanton's architects will building, attem p t the University, said Mark de Shong, project architect at Kallmann McKinnell and Wood, the architecture firm for the Jack S. Blanton M useum of Art. to create a gatew ay for "It's a powerful axis in the city," de Shong said. "The plaza betw een the two buildings will become a doorw ay to the cam pus." Com plying with m aster plan guidelines set in 1996, and similar to other campus buildings, the m useum will feature a red- tile, slanted roof and will be constructed of limestone. Critics of the m useum have claimed the m aster plan will result in a bland design. However, Richard Cleary, an architecture professor and m em ber of the Faculty Building Advisory Council, said the master plan is vital in the developm ent of future buildings on campus. "One of the strong things the master plan is trying to address is the quality of the environm ent it serves," Cleary said. The University has seen several master plans in its history, the best-know n devel­ oped by Paul Cret in the 1930s, an architect recognized for developing the buildings' sense of community on the 40 Acres. Cret's goal w as to create an attractive cam pus that w ould be easy to navigate. O ver time, the master plan w as forgotten, resulting in a loss in this sense of coherency, Gleeson said. To help alleviate these prob­ lems, the University hired C esar Pelli & Associates Architects of N ew Haven, Conn., to begin the process of developing a new m aster plan. Initiated about three years ago, the cam­ pus m aster plan serves as a guide for future building plans of the University, Gleeson said. The plan consists of seven broad prin­ ciples, including "[using] the architectural language of Paul Cret's original works as the point of departure for the design of the new structures" and "[establishing] a com­ m unity of landscaped open spaces, w ork­ ing in concert with buildings to extend and reknit the campus." Though critics argue the m aster plan will force the Blanton M useum to copycat other cam pus buildings, Gleeson said the plan leaves room for the architects' creativity. "We do w ant to have a context, but that doesn't mean we have to build the same building we built 100 years ago," Gleeson said. "It still should all fit, but that«doesn't mean they have to be cookie cutters." Though the master plan w orks to connect the buildings of the cam pus visually, it also serves to preserve the cam pus' organiza­ tion, Cleary said. The University began its quest for the building of the Blanton M useum several years ago by searching for architects and narro w in g the list of potential clients through an interview process. The list was slim m ed dow n to five architects based on previous w ork and qualifications, with the University finally settling o n Herzog and de M euron of Switzerland. However, after subm itting two propositions for the muse­ um, the contract was term inated between the University and the firm. "The regents felt their ideas didn't work on o u r campus," Gleeson said. "It wasn't contextual enough if you look at successful buildings on this cam pus. The large, flat roof was a main thing. People were con­ cerned it was too m uch of a stretch. It was really different." The University was forced to hold anoth­ er interview session, in w hich Michael McKinnell, one of the original five finalists, w as hired to be the m useu m 's architect. McKinnell, of the firm K allm ann McKinnell and Wood Architects, Inc. of Boston, is well- k n o w n for buildings on the Harvard University campus and o ther work in the Boston area, and has recently presented his prelim inary plans for the Blanton Museum. "Michael McKinnell m akes modem art m useum s that are still contextual," Gleeson said. "In this case, everyone agrees we're headed in the right direction. Looks like this time we'll get one that w orks." As the project architect for the Blanton, de Shong said McKinnell h a s worked with the m aster plan to produce the best-possi­ ble m useum for the University. As the first building built under the n ew master plan — besides the Seay Psychological Building erected by the actual creators of the plan — de Shong said the guidelines will be tested with the Blanton project. "The materials used m ust be in the spirit of Paul Cret, it should have slanted, clay tile roofs and be of com parative m aterials with the m ain cam ­ pus," said de Shong, a form er professor the School of Architecture. "We're obligated to follow that and not told w e can go off on a different course. It's really obligatory." in T hough required to follow guidelines concerning the archi­ the m useum , d e tecture of Shong said the museum will not be an exact copy of other b u ild ­ ings on campus.

Gov. Rick Tern requested Nov. 30 that President Bush declare the counties of Blanco, Caldwell Edwards Ha vs Kimble, Real and Travis as manor disaster areas. The counties endua\i xxir davs of storms that spawned tiusi kWang and several tornadoes resulting in 10 deaths. 1 images totaled to more than $17 million in public property' more than $13 million of which occurred in Travis County alone. "These counties need this type of assistance to help them recover and to move forw ard fol­ lowing these storms," said Gene Acuña, Perry's spokesman. The federal government has not approved the request yet, he said, adding that the gover­ nor's office is awaiting a response. The counties could receive federal grants for disaster-related housing, unemployment, counseling, Small Business Administration disaster loans and infrastructure repair. The funds would be available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and would be coordinated by the Division of Emergency Management. Kenneth Neafcv, emergency plans officer for the City of Austin Office of Emergency Management, said the floods affected more than 600 Austin homes. Between $10 million and $11 million in public and private damage resulted from the storms in Austin — an esti­ mate expected to rise as citizens file claims with insurance agencies. South Austin was hit the hardest by the storms, he added, and several businesses were flooded. Through public assistance grants, local gov­ ernments would receive reimbursement for overtime pay and costs incurred in relation to damages to the dty infrastructure as a result of the storm. When grants are awarded, the federal gov­ ernment usually pays for 75 percent of dam ­ age costs while local governments cover the other 25 percent, he said. "This is important for us because the money we receive during tight economic times and tight budgets can obviously be used for other purposes," he said. "Getting some of that money back could be very useful in funding other projects or continuing other services that otherwise may have to be curtailed." But it is too early to tell if the dty will receive public assistance, he said. "Right now, the size of this disaster on a national scale is fairly small" he said. "It's right on the border of whether or not it will qualify for a disaster dedaration." Even if Travis County doesn't receive public assistance grants, individual assistance grants are expected because dtizens have a harder time recovering from finandal loss than local governments, he said. Don Rogers, spokesman for the Texas Division of Emergency Management, said the amount of aid individual counties will receive depends on the severity of each municipality's damage. andidates file for upcoming elections J.B. Henry, a ware­ house assistant for the Capital Area Food Bank, prepares an order for deliv­ ery Monday. UMty Paterson/ Daily Texan Staff Area food bank holds donation drive By Carl Hammerstrom Daily Texan Staff Due to an increase in demand as a result of die nationwide economic downturn, the Capital Area Food Bank is having a food drive Thursday. The food drive, sponsored by Time Warner Cable, will take place Thursday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Town Lake Gazebo, across from Palmer Auditorium. The food shortage isn't due to a decrease in supply, but rather an increase in demand from the economy's problems and high-tech layoffs, said Dan Pruett, deputy director of the Capital Area Food Bank. "There is a trickle down effect," he said. "Those lay­ offs just impact other businesses. People who did not have to ask in the past are now having to ask for help." Unemployment rates in Texas during October rose to 52 percent up from 5 percent in August and September and 27,800 non-agricultural jobs were lost in October alone, according to the Texas Workforce Commission. Pruett said the Capital Area Food Bank relies heav­ ily on its corporate sponsors and local media to get the word out about their drives. Roger Heaney, Time Warner Cable spokesman, is calling the event a "drive-thru, drop-off drive," intended to be convenient for people with little time or for those on their way to and from work. Donators won't even have to leave their cars, he said. As an incentive to donate, Time Warner Cable will be passing out free pay-per-view vouchers, which can be redeemed by their subscribers for a free movie, a $3.95 value. Time Warner Cable has aided the food bank for many years, but this is the largest food drive they have ever organized, Pruett said. The holiday season is the best time for collecting food, Pruett said. Corporations donate food on a con­ tinuous basis, but individual support comes in bulk late in the year. Pruett said that anyone— from Girl Scout troops to small businesses or individuals — can hold a drive. About 400 drives are scheduled to benefit the food bank for this holiday season. Drives provide better quality food than do corpo­ rate donations, which often consist of short-dated goods that are nearing their expiration date or food in bulk form, which then must be repackaged. Food drives allow the food bank to collect goods that are immediately ready to go, and the drives also yield monetary donations for the food bank. Monetary donations are used to pay the food .bank's $6,000 per month utility b ill which is high because of the need for cooling and storing 3.5 million pounds of produce and more than 12 million pounds of food per year. In addition to Thursday's event, Time Warner Cable w ill also have a food drive at its San Marcos Office, located at 1120 Highway 123 on Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Democratic Party announces bids fo r 2002 campaigns By Angela Macias Daily Texan Staff C am p aig n in g for the Texas 2002 election officially got u n d e r w ay as M o n d ay m ark ed the first day for ca n d id a te s to file for office, and D em ocratic h o p efu ls m ad e a show of force bv a n n o u n cin g th eir b id s together.

The scene at the Holiday Bowl in San Diego should be quite familiar to the Horns, who played a 35-30 loss there last year at the hands of then-No. 8 Oregon. "We had a great time at the Holiday Bowl last year, and are looking forward to the oppor­ tunity to go back," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "Not many teams have a chance to w in 11 games and finish in the top 10, and that's som ething we really w ant to do." After losing to Colorado on Saturday in the Big 12 Cham pionship and ending Texas' hopes of playing in a BCS game, the Horns will look to regroup against the Huskies (8-3, 6-2 PAC- 10) in order to post their first 11-win season since 1983. "It'll be a great m atchup with Washington," Brown said. "And I know Rick (Neuheisel) will have his team ready. We have a large fan base in California, and our fans have been trem en­ dously supportive wherever we have gone." W ashington's regular season ended on an especially sour note after the Huskies were trounced by Miami, 65-7, tw o weeks ago. W ashington's only other two losses this year came on the road at UCLA, 35-13, and at Oregon State, 49-24. The H uskies did have w ins over some im pressive teams this season, however. They beat Michigan in their season opener, 23-18, and h ad w ins over Stanford, 42-28, and W ashington State, 26-14. The Horns have only played Washington three times, with Texas w inning twice. The last m eeting — the 1979 Sun Bowl — saw the Huskies come out on top, 14-7. The 2001 Holiday Bowl will m ark Texas' fourth consecutive bowl appearance and 41st all-time bowl contest (No. 3 on NCAA all-time list).

Miami still atop latest BCS Running back Clinton Portis (28) and the Miami Hurricanes will have to wait one more week to find out who their opponent will be in the Rose Bowl for the national championship.

Andrew Loeh m an /D aily Texan Staff Women’s basketball to face SWT By Mercedes Parker Daily Texan Staff The Texas women's basketball team is not tak­ ing Southwest Texas lightly as the Bobcats make their way to the Erwin Center tonight. The No. 17 Longhorns have a 4-0 record on the line, and they know of the obvious motivation SWT, whose campus is less than an hour away, will bring to the game. 'It's a scary game, because obviously their motivation to come in here is probably extremely high," Texas head coach Jody Conradt said. "I sus­ pect they will play very hard, and we have to W O M E N ’ S make sure that we match their intensity and their work ethic. H O O P S — W tetSoulhwKt Texas at No. 17 Texas ^ When: Tonight, 7 p.m. .... Where: Erwin Center . _ _ : “We have to go out and Conradt said. "We can't leave ourselves vul- nerable for an upset." Tra<^ Cook agreed that Texas should be prepared for the Bobcats to come out fired up. "This is their 'Tennessee/ if you will, of the sea­ son," Cook said. "You know they are going to play harder, and they're going to put everything they have out there. That's even more incentive for us not to take them lightly, because they will play harder." Even though the Horns are riding a 14-game winning streak over the Bobcafe, and they won last season's matchup 82-4(7, this game could be a little different. "We have it in our memory that is wasn't a very competitive game last year, but w e are not playing last year's team — we are playing a team that is much improved," Conradt said. Southwest Texas (2-2) has five new transfers and four new freshmen, including the teams' leading scorer and rebounder freshman Tori Talbert, who averages 14.0 points per game and 9.5 rebounds per game. The Bobcats are also returning one of their top players from last sea­ son in senior guard Kendall Arant, who averaged 11 ppg last season. Texas will once again rely on its bench players to step up — one of them getting the starting nod — as starting sophomore guard Kaira White will not be in attendance at the game due to a death in the family. Longhorn bench players have played an inte­ gral part offensively in Texas' four straight wins, scoring 38.7 percent of the Horns' total points. They have also outscored all opponents' bench players, 112-54. "I have a lot more confidence knowing that when I do go out, the girls that go in for me are going to step it up and play with the same inten­ sity," Cook said. "It's been a different person stepping up big-time every game, and it's not just upperclassmen." Lately, it has been freshman forward Kala Bowers that has been productive for Texas off the bench. Bowers is fourth on the team in scoring at 8.Ü ppg. Also coming in big for Texas has been junior guard Alisha Sare, averaging 7.3 ppg. "We approach every game the same," Cook said. "Early on, we are going to do everything we can just like normal. Hopefully, if we can get a lead, a lot of other players can get some game time and mpre experience. But you don't want to take anybody lightly." Associated Press Tennessee needs win over LSU for trip to national championship By Kevin Kushner Daily Texan Staff While the BCS involves complicated mathematical formulas involving polls, computer rankings, strength of schedule and •quality wins, things are very simple for the Tennessee Volunteers. If the Volunteers beat LSU on Saturday night in the SEC champi­ onship game, they can begin packing for a trip to Pasadena, Calif., to face Miami in the Rose Bowl for the national championship. Tennessee (10-1) soared from No. 6 to No. 2 in the current BCS standings, one slot behind No. 1 Miami (11-0). Nebraska (11-1) resides in the No. 3 spot, followed by Colorado (10-2) and Oregon (10-1). Texas (10-2) fell to No. 7. The Volunteers' ascent in the BCS stand­ ings is the result of their 34-32 victory over then-No. 2 Florida and then-No. 3 Texas' 39- 37 loss in the Big 12 title game to Colorado. Nebraska leapt up to No. 3 by passing Florida and Tencas, and could play for the national title. If the current trend of upsets continues with LSU (8-3) knocking off Tennessee, the Comhuskers will get the invite to the Rose Bowl, despite falling to Colorado 62-36 two weeks ago. "The BCS poll is not designed to base a national champion on one game, or three games, or five games, but to base it on what a team has accomplished throughout the season," said Nebraska head coach Frank Solich. "Certainly, our team has accom­ plished a great deal." Although few refute Solich's claim that the Comhuskers had a great seasorf, contro­ versy would surely follow a Nebraska Rose Bowl appearance. Because Colorado beat the Comhuskers so handily a mere two weeks ago, many argue that the Buffaloes belong in Pasadena. Still, others will argue that Oregon is more deserving than Colorado, since the Buffaloes have lost twice while the Ducks have only faltered once all season. in the Rose Bowl, The most controversial consequence of a Tennessee loss is that Oregon could split the national championship without participat­ ing in the title game. If Nebraska were to beat Miami the Comhuskers would receive first place in the coaches poll, which will crown the winner of the Rose Bowl. The Associated Press, how­ ever, could opt to vote Oregon No. 1 should Nebraska and the Ducks both win. Hence, there could still be split national champions, despite having the BCS system in place. Of course, all the controversy becomes moot if Tennessee advances to the Rose Bowl by winning on Saturday night against LSU. "After die Florida game, our kids were talking about things," said Tennessee head coach Philip Fulmer. "The important thing wasn't just to win at Florida, but how we used the victory." right the B ow l C ham pionship S er ies Miami Tennessee Nebraska Colorado Oregon Florida Texas Illinois Stanford Maryland Oklahoma BYU RANK 11-0 1. 2/ 10-1 3. 11-1 4. 10-2 5. 10-1 9-2 6. 7. 10-2 10-1 8. 9-2 9. 10-1 10. 10-2 11. 12. 12-0 13.

Carolina OU head coach Stoops mentioned for Notre Dame job By Jeff Sturdevant Daily Texan Staff The search for the next head football coach at the University of Notre Dame is under way after Bob Davie was fired on Sunday. While no official candidates have been announced by the Notre Dame athletic departm ent, the rum ored short list includes NFL head coaches Jon G ruden of Oakland, San Francisco's Steve Mariucci and Jacksonville's Tom Coughlin. The college coaches that have been m entioned are O regon's Mike Belotti and Oklahom a's Bob Stoops. "1 haven't been contacted by any officials from Notre Dame, " Stoops said, but he d id n 't leave the door closed for a conversation w ith Notre Dame officials. "When you answ er the phone, someone else is always on the other line, so it's hard not to talk to them." Stoops is finishing his third year as head coach for the Oklahoma Sooners. In his three seasons at Oklahoma, Stoops has am assed a 30-7 record. He is the first Oklahoma head coach to lead his first three teams to bowl games, winning last year's national championship and earning a probable bid to this season's Cotton Bowl. "1 have w hat I believe is not only one of the best jobs in college football in the country at Oklahoma, [but] I've got a great adm inistration to back us up," Stoops said. "I believe Oklahoma is one of the best places in America to coach or play college football, and I feel fortunate to have the job that I have." Notre Dame director of athletics Kevin White said he will be working with a small search committee to find a new head coach, and adm itted the job is one of the most difficult in college sports. "It is no secret to anyone that high expectations come with the job of head football coach at Notre Dame White said. "Those expectations are the product not onlv of our history and tradition and national following but also of our institution-wide commitment to excellence in everything that we do." White added that the search would be conducted as swiftly as possible, but not to a | extent that would "deprive [Notre Dame] from hopefully securing the \ erv best coach possible for the position." Texas Tech women look for depth with top-player Pierson s suspension By Mercedes Parker Daily Texan Staff The Texas Tech women's basketball team had a major setback last Friday night when one of its top returnees — junior forward Plenette Pierson was suspended indefinitely from the team. Hie suspension came immediately fol­ lowing the Lady Raiders' 74-65 loss to New Mexico. Head coach Marsha Sharp gave no reason for the suspension, but said in a statement, "Sometimes you have to make decisions that are best for your entire team, and I feel that this is the best thing at this time for the Lady Raider pro­ gram." Pierson averaged 15 points per game and 7.4 rebounds per game for the Lady Raiders last season. Even without Pierson, the Lady Raiders return all but one starter from last year's team that made it to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament, includ­ ing five top-notch freshmen They also have another top class aiming in giving them ore? of the deepest teams ever to play at Tech, Sharp said. One of Tech's key players will be soph­ omore guard Jia Perkins. She scored a career-high 29 points in the Lady Raiders' 74-72 loss to Purdue in the Sweet 16 last season and averaged 13.6 ppg. Sharp has stated that she believes Perkins could be one of the best ever to wear a Lady Raider uniform. "It |ust means that I have to go out there and vyork hard, and try to live up to that," Perkins said of Sharp's comment. "Every game and every practice, I need to go out diere and push." Perkins is one of the five inexperienced freshmen that frequendy came off the bench for Texas Tech last season because of a lack of depth. That is something Sharp would like to change this season. "We're not going to have the sopho­ mores come off the bench. I imagine that we will start at least three of them. Sharp said. "I think they've earned that. Although the Lady Raiders will not have to rely on freshmen as heavily this season, one newcomer is expected to get some playing time early tv toot >mch freshman center Cisti Green waft "Greenwalt is the best big player v>e se ever signed," Sharp said.

Travis, The Invisible Band With The Invisible Band, this Scottish band has created their best effort to date. It doesn't drag like their sec­ ond LP, The Man Who, or leave you with an empty feeling like Good Feeling. It just hits song after song with wonderfully executed pop songs that create a truly remarkable album. 2. Slipknot, Iowa Up to this point, much of the music produced by the likes of Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach have been nothing more than masturbatorv excuses to whine with heavy drums and guitars in the background. With Iowa, Slipknot breached the form, and created the first real artsy album of the nu-metal era. Filled with actual rage permeating the arrangements and Iowa reaches past the superficial areas that Slipknot's contemporaries can't seem to get past. 3. Garth Brooks, Scarecrow None of 2001's big return albums has been as important as the return of country's greatest superstar, Garth Brooks. "Wrapped Up In You," the first single off of Scarecrow, is hands down the best single of the year. The other songs, including "Beer Run," a duet with the great George Jones, only help to remind us why Garth Brooks is as impor­ tant as he is. With this solid return, we can only hope that the big guy doesn't go into retirement ever again. lyrics, 4. Sugar Ray, Sugar Ray Each time that you plop this album into your CD player, the genius of their craftsmanship comes o u t.. Putting away their metal root-, for good, Sugar Ray takes us on a tour of some of the' best eras ot pop. ranging from stvles that mimic The Beach Boys to The Rolling Stones The talent tl ti n s band displays in the creation of this album is some­ thing that can be easih overlooked with their popularity. 5. The Strokes, Is This It The band that made waves'across the music industry even before they had a record deal came out with an album that breathed new life into rock. Their sound, pure aggression without the animosity that was fueled through songs that resemble 1970s punk in structure had people talking about this its Velvet • Underground sound, it proved to be one of the best albums to come out in a year of merelv adequate music. album. With their the biggest W eezer that Concert Weezer Freeman Coliseum, Nov 26 Even fan iong would admit stream of recent Austin shows were nothing spectacular. The show' at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio — besides being an amazing bill featuring fimrm Eat World and Tenacious D — fea­ tured Weezer not only as musi­ cians but as performers W-ezer finaliv found a balance that sepa­ rated this show' from all the thers they had done. Kyle Whitacre, M o st Likely To Be Found Talking To Rave Prom oters 1. Tool, L a tera lu s By far the best album of the year. Lateralus is more than ]ust a collection of songs, it's an album from beginning to end. 2. Weezer, W eezer I'm a die hard fan. So shoot me. 3. Daft Punk, D iscov ery More than the usual techno album. This diversity in the booty shakin' tracks of this album is amazing. 4. G orillaz, G o r illa z Probably the most interesting and styl­ ish project of the year. Plus the videos rock. 5.

C o n cert C rysta l M ethod Austin M usic Hall, Sept Best concert ot the vear because these guys can rock a live show which can cause some dance acts to fall flat.

While there was no absolute mass favorite — no OK Computer or Mlseducattion of Lauryn Hill — diere were many little faves here and mere. People tike Ryan Adams and Rufus Wainwright made waves with sub­ tle and sublime folk rock. Mystic and Alicia Keys redefined what It means to be a soul diva, and made stellar albums to prove it. Punk got a facelift with Jimmy Eat World, B.R.M.C. and The Strokes. If anything, it was a year in music where Napster wasn’t that big of a deal. And at the same time, the concert industry was dealt a huge Mow by the events of Sept. l i . Those two factors had people turning back more than ever to their records and record stores. We escaped pain and anguish with those wonderful albums, with whatever we could find. Here’s what helped The Daily Texan music writers make it all the way to December: E ntertainment STAYTON BONNER, M o s t Likely To Be S e e n At A u stin C ity L im its Tapings i like Don Williams, 1 ‘u v U i ' K u b i * > o t \ , C o u n t r y Sun shine Robison breaks free of his major label record deal and independently makes the best country album of the year. Harking back to 1970s country greats, the album's intimate feel sounds more genuine than anything on the radio. Also, “What Would Willie Do" is hands down the best song of the year. 2. Soundtrack to the Motion Picture O Brother, Where Art Thou? This album has effectively placed bluegrass in a national spotlight that it hasn't enjoyed since the 1960s. Producer T. Bone Burnett and his array of musicians turned Nashville on its head with the success of the soundtrack by selling millions of copies and taking home several CMA awards. Maybe people are finally getting tired of the crap on the radio after all. V Robert i arl keen tamul f orces Keen's latest album showcases the singer-songwriter at the top of his game. As opposed to the countless “Texas" songwriters out there now, this guy's the real deal. 4. Daniel Makins, Texas Rain This San Marcos songwriter plays most Wednesday nights at the Cheatham Street Warehouse. Reminiscent of JohnPrine, Makins''smoky voice and poignant lyrics are indicative of a true talent. Check him out. > T h e Weary Bon*» The V\V.try Boy- Recent Austin arrivals from California, The Weary Boys play traditional coun­ try like it's meant to sound. They've Photo courtesy of TenaciousD.com now got a regular gig at the Continental Club, and are planning to record a live album at a South Texas prison. That's real country there, folks. Concert Tenacious D Austin Music Hall, Oct. 19 Two fat guys with acoustic guitars play­ ing heavy metal to sold out crowds across the country — that feat in itself demands tremendous respect. The open­ ing band for them was local Neil Diamond cover band The Diamond Smugglers, which just set the tone for the rest of the show. Unpredictable and funny, the D put on the most entertaining show I've seen all year.

Great melodies and expert songcraft Pain makes beauty on this album in a way we haven't heard since, well, die days of The Beatles. Folds makes his voy first serio album in much the same pattern.
