The Fifth U.S. C ircuit Court ruling in the Hopwood vs. Texas case — named after plaintiff Cheryl Hopwood — led Texas Attorney General Dan Morales to force the end of affirmative action practices in Texas public colleges and universities. While the damage requests of the plaintiffs were denied, U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks did award them about $776,000 in attorneys' fees and court costs. But Steven Smith, the Austin attorney for plain­ tiffs Kenneth Elliott and David Rogers, called the ruling unfair. "Our generic response is the plaintiffs are being discriminated in the ruling for a second time," Smith, who filed the suit, said. "For the second time, the court found they were intentionally discriminat- on the basis of race, and yet they were ed ted any meaningful relief." said his clients would probably appeal a year for the ruling, we really don't hav to bum," Smith said. ig to Sparks, awarding further dam­ ages "could threaten to compromise the integrity of the a d a a te u a n s process itself." • S ks also wrote! in his opinion that the case showed tire difficulties that universities have in the admissions process. "Ib tire end, the determination of who deserves an offer of admission and who does not is left in the less-tftan*capable hands of people outside the acad­ emic arena — judges," he wrote. Sparks continued, "The court finds the law school has j oved by a preponderance of the evidence that none of tire plaintiffs would have been admitted to the law school under a constitutional admissions Rollers, one of the plaintiffs in the case, said Sunday he had mixed feelings about the settlement decfoicm. "I'm glad that the University of Texas had to pay some «compensation for racially discriminating agafetijt people," Rogers said. "However, I'm disap­ pointed that I won't have the chance to go to the University based on the color of my skin." Küogtrs added that he was "outraged, but not sur- pritetiT by tire decision.

But Penders could never have imag­ ined how that keg finally exploded over spring break. In a hectic series of events, reports of the pending transfers of several players and a possible violation of federal privacy laws by a member of the team's coaching staff have left the program in turmoil. "It's been a really tough week for all of us," said freshman guard Bernard Smith, one of several Longhorns who have con­ sidered leaving the school for various rea­ sons. "There's a lot of uncertainty about the future." Thus far, freshman guard Luke Axtell is the only player to have been granted a formal release by UT to transfer to anoth­ er school. Sophomore forw ard Gabe Muoneke, Smith and freshman center Chris Mihm have all said they will wait until after Monday's team meeting to make any permanent decision. "I'm still not sure what I'm going to do," Smith said on Sunday. "I've been hearing so many things in the media, I just want to see what goes on tomorrow to find out what's really true." Signs of trouble began Tuesday, when Penders released a statement announcing that Axtell had been suspended for acad­ emic reasons. That night, Axtell called the Austin American-Statesman from West Texas, where he was spending spring break. He said he planned to transfer from the University, and he accused the coach of everything from lying to verbal abuse. "I think there's a lot of dishonesty in the program, and it starts at the top," Axtell said. "Things are said to people that have no truth, and I was fed up with all that stuff. Most everybody wants to get out. You can't play for somebody you don't respect, and you can't respect some­ body who lies to you all the time." While Axtell has not spoken publicly since the Statesman interview, his mother said that he told Penders on March 13 he was planning to transfer and that Penders had not mentioned any academic con­ cerns at that meeting, a claim that RUNNIN* HORNS/Page 2 ka A x te ll w a t granted a form al ralease by U T to transfer to another sch o o l.

As usual, the acts pretty much covered the musical spectrum, from punk to country to hip-hop to elec­ tronic music. A couple of things, however, distinguished this year's festival from years past. The biggest story, aside from the appearance of Sonic Youth, may have been the large increase in the number of elec­ tronic acts. A rtists such as Josh Wink and the Propellerheads, along with a slew of artists appearing at Twist at 505 N eches, did their best to promote electronic music as a viable live medium, w ith mixed results. Also of note was the large num­ ber of international bands featured. Tropical Isle featured international theme nights Thursday through Saturday, featuring acts from Germany, Japan, France and Australia and New Zealand.

Mollie Axtell said her family did not learn of the sus­ pension until it had been broadcast on an Austin television station. "What appalls our family is that Tom Penders chose a public venue to suspend our son," Mollie Axtell said in a prepared statement. "Luke was given no w arning of the sus­ pension, even though Penders had ample opportunity to do so." The release of Axtell's academic progress report to KVET-AM radio added to the controversy. Details of the report, which Penders later said was faxed to the radio station by assistant coach Eddie O ran, were read on the air by broadcaster Craig Way. The release and publication of the records, which could be a violation of federal privacy laws, prompted an in te rn al UT in v estig a tio n . Neither the Axtells nor their lawyer has said whether they will pursue legal action. "N othing has really happened yet," Calvin Axtell, Luke's father, said late Sunday. "We're still wait­ ing on the investigation." AMARILLO — Pantex officials say they are working with weapons designers to determ ine if several nuclear weapons were contaminat­ ed accidentally with mercury dur­ ing reassembly. Government reports say an elec­ tronics technician at Pantex found mercury in the inlet of a leak detec­ tion system used in the plant's gas laboratory on Jan. 29. Pantex spokesman Tom Walton said the problem involves "rebuild units" that are sent to Pantex for maintenance, modification and evalu­ ation before shipment to the military. "A weapon, before it goes back out into the field, they draw out the air, In P enders' original statem ent suspending Axtell, w ho averaged 13.3 points while -leading die team in three-point shooting this year, the coach said th a t Luke had refused to m eet w ith tu to rs and attend study hall. A xtell's fam ily acknow ledged that he w as behind in his school- work, but they said he had received no final failing grades and would "make every effort ... to catch up." The family also claimed that por­ tions of the progress report read on KVET were wrong. M eanw hile, several of A xtell's team m ates continued to mull the possibility of transferring to another school. Muoneke said Wednesday that he. and three other players had already m et with athletic director DeLoss Dodds about the direction of the p ro g ram . He said the on ly riyo scholarship players not in danger of leaving were seniors Kris Clack and Chico Vazquez. "It's a bad situation," Muoneke said. "A lot of people are unhappy." Muoneke explained that transfer­ ring was not a group decision and that he and his teammates do not all share the same concerns abopt the program. He said that while players discussed the possibility of leaving with each other on numerous occa­ sions, "everybody m ade up their own minds." "For me, it came down to the fact that I don't have any faith in our style of play," Muoneke said. "Run- and-gun is fine, bu t w e've been playing helter-skelter. There's a big difference between playing fast and playing out of control." yAnd while Muoneke insisted that had no com plaints a b o u t Penders on a personal level, he con­ ceded that softte players did not get along well w ith the 52-year-,o*d coach. "I think it is a lot more personal w ith them th a n it is w ith m e," Muoneke said. "They have specific dislikes of Coach Penders himself, w here my concerns are on the court." Penders, w ho spent most of last week on vacation in the island of St. M artin in the C aribbean, do w n ­ played talk of possible player trans­ fers. The coach, who failed to take the Horns to the NCAA tournament this season for only die second time in his 10-year tenure, seem ed to regard the players' comments as mere speculation. "The only fact here is that I've suspended Luke for academic rea­ sons," said Penders, who has four years remaining on a contract with a salary of at least $500,000 per year. "I feel badly about w hat he said about me, but I'm not going to get into defending myself." Penders, the coach in LIT m en's basketball history w ith the m ost wins, has compiled a 208-110 record over the past decade. After being ranked among the nation's top 25 teams in several preseason polls this year, the Horns finished with a 14- 17 record. T heif season ended on March 7 with a loss to Oklahoma in the third round of the Big 12 tour­ nament. Pantex examines nukes for contaminates 44 Our guys are working with the national labs.

"The pumps that draw out this stuff and backfill with the inert gas ended up w ith some mercury contamination in them." The A m arillo-area plant is the nation's primary nuclear bomb dis­ assembly site. Pantex co n tracto r M ason & H anger Corp. found 37 w eapons may have been c o n tam in ated , according to a government report. Pantex officials think the number of weapons affected might be smaller. Walton said 16 workers have been tested for mercury contamination. "O ne show ed som e m ercury reading, but it was well below any level of concern," he said. "It was very, very small." He said the contamination may have come from a gas laboratory at the plant, which is responsible for disassem bling nuclear w eapons. Walton said some of the gas sam­ pling bottles had mercury contami­ nation in them. Weapons designers a re w orking to d eterm in e if the w eapons have been contaminated a n d if the c o n tam in atio n m ight affect systems inside the bombs.

"They indicated there is no question on the safety of the weapon at this point." The type of weapons the plant is con­ cerned with is classified, Walton said. "I c a n 't say w hat kinds of weapons they were because these are all stockpile weapons," he said.

A $2.5 billion midyear spending bill, in which Clinton seeks funds to support military missions in Bosnia and the Persian Gulf, as well as spending for emergency relief for El N iño-related weather disasters, comes to a vote this week in the Senate and in a House committee. Meanwhile, a separate bill that would pay about $1 billion in back dues to the United Nations and authorize some $18 billion for the International M onetary Fund is headed for a House floor vote. But an unrelated amendment imposing abortion restrictions on overseas family planning groups has already generated a presidential veto threat. In the Senate, a bill containing IMF funds includes a provision — opposed by the Clinton administra­ tion — that would impose structur­ al changes on the international financial agency, whose main task right now is to help rescue ailing Asian economies. Both the IMF and the United Nations have become favorite tar­ gets for conservatives. In fact, House Republican leaders have been struggling to line up sup­ port for the bill to pay the U.N. dues not because of the abortion restrictions that the administration finds so objectionable; but because more than a few conservatives oppose giving the United Nations the money altogether. "The whole issue comes down to a profound reluctance to support the U.N.," said Rep. Christopher Smith, R-N .J., sponsor of the amendment that would prohibit U.S. funds from being used to sup­ port any international organizations that perform or even promote abor­ tions. Smith has tagged on the amend­ ment to legislation headed for an expected House vote on Wednes­ day that would authorize paying the U.N. back dues and overhaul the State Department bureaucracy. But the Congressman is also threat­ ening to attach the amendment to other measures that include funds for foreign operations. If Clinton starts playing veto poli­ tics over the abortion provisions, "the president will find them on everything coming down the pike," Smith said in an interview. In the Senate, Majority Leader Trent Lott of M ississippi has expressed open hostility toward U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and last week called for the dis­ missal of IMF Managing Director Michel Camdessus. "I would like to get rid of the. director of the IMF. He's a socialist from France," Lott told a group of ranchers on Capitol Hill. Later, he refused to back off from his criti­ cism, saying that even if Camdessus isn't a socialist, the French banker acts and talks like one.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Oil producing countries fear prices will cause depression Details of the plan, announced in a statement released in the Saudi capital Riyadh, have yet to be worked out. The cutback was not a form al agreem ent to reduce the Organization of Petroleum Export­ ing Countries' overall production ceiling or the quotas of individual m embers. It was not clear how many of OPEC's 11 members would abide by it. Low prices already have inflicted some pain. Oil companies in Alberta, British Columbia, nave announced layoffs and reduced heavy crude production. Russia, which depends on the energy sector for half of gov­ ernment revenues, announced this past week it would ease the tax bur­ den on struggling oil firms. Some high-cost wells, such as an Hibernia consortium offshore plat­ form near N ewfoundland, soon could be producing oil that costs more to pump than it earns on the market. In Saudi Arabia, the w orld's largest oil exporter, the currency has been sliding because of Saudis trad­ ing in riyals for dollars in anticipa­ tion of a weaker economy. Share prices for Saudi companies have fallen by 15 percent since December. The Saudi oil company, Aramco, was considering big spending cuts, which experts say likely would lead to the delay or cancellation of sever­ al major refinery projects. In recent weeks, Saudi Arabia has blamed the price slump on OPEC partneT Venezuela, accusing it of over producing. Venezuela, the largest foreign supplier of oil to the United States, has been the biggest violator of OPEC quotas. An open invitation for open minds Willey says she is being portrayed as a 'wacko' ■ WASHINGTON — Kath­ leen Willey defended friendly letters she sent to President Clinton after their meeting at which she alleges he made a crude sexual advance. She accused the White House of trying to portray her as a "wacko." In an interview in die issue of Newsweek on newsstands Monday, Willey said by dis­ tributing the letters, which were friendly in tone despite the encounter she alleged, the White House was "trying to make me look like a wacko." Willey also said there was nothing improper about the letters, which she portrayed as a way of trying to secure a job. "I never hid those letters. They were my way of saying, 'H ello, I'm still out here. I need a job/" she said. "I had made a decision that I was going to put that incident behind me. I made that choice, and I'm allowed to make that choice." Inspector asks Iraq to provide info on weapons materials ■ WASHINGTON — U N . chief weapons inspector Richard Butler said Sunday that Iraq is cooperating in opening sensitive sites to his teams, and he hopes the Iraqis will follow that up by volun­ teering inform ation about banned weapons material. Butler, in Baghdad to over­ see two weeks of weapons inspections, said the Iraqis "have shown us remarkable cooperation" since President Saddam Hussein and U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan agreed a month ago to open up previously off-limits sites. The agreement averted a U.S. military strike. But Butler said on CNN's Late Edition that cooperation is not enough to verify that Iraq has destroyed its weapons of mass destruction as required under U.N. reso­ lutions approved at the time of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. — Compiled from Associated Press reports CARACAS, Venezuela — Plum­ meting crude prices have begun to wreak havoc in the economies of the world's oil-producing nations. Governments are slashing bud­ gets and growth forecasts, compa­ nies are scrapping investments and citizens from Quito to Tehran are preparing for hard times. "Our economy is built on oil, so we are bracing for a real depres­ sion," said an Iranian businessman, Omid Rostamani. Last week, futures prices for North Sea Brent blend dropped to $11.90 a barrel, the low est in a decade. Prices for other petroleum types also have slumped, and oil- dependent countries stand to lose billions of dollars if prices don't recover soon. The result may be less money for badly needed social programs in places including Mexico City and Jakarta, Indonesia. Lackluster demand blamed on Asia's financial crisis and an unusu­ ally warm winter produced the mil- lion-barrel-a-day glut on world mar­ kets that sent prices tumbling. Oil m inisters Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Mexico announced Sunday that they have agreed to work together to reduce output by at least 1.6 million barrels a day. of substance w« cal dmce b now «nibble to you.

Smith, a graduate student in die philosophy department, has a wonderful biography. An Army career officer, he worked mainly in intelligence-related positions and retired in 1996 after 20 years of service. He holds the utterly marvelous distinction of being one of the few government employees to be formally schooled in "Remote Viewing." Smith tells us that the CIA explained that "remote viewing is a skill by which a person can perceive objects* persons, or events at a location removed from him or her by either space or-time." The prospect that remote viewing can lead to valuable intelligence infor­ mation lecl die CIA to run a $20 million program to exploit remote viewing as an intelligence ^sset. Some of you may remember remote viewing from last year's fiasco when Emory University Professor Courtney Brown, loosely connected to the same CIA program as Smith, "remotely viewed" comet Hale- Bopp and declared that there was a planet-sized space­ ship in its wake. This arguably tipped the delicate per­ sonalities of the Heaven's Gate cult over the edge, lead­ ing to their early rendezvous with oblivion. Smith has begun his own training institute, Remote Viewing Instructional Services (RVIS), based in Round Rock (;unvw.ruiewer.com). "You can leam remote viewing from Courtney Brown, but all the crazy space alien garbage that comes with it is worthless," explains Smith. Well, any critic of Courtney Brown is a friend of ours, so we will give Roahn Wynar TEXAN CO LU M N IST Smith the benefit of die doubt. In fact we will do better than that. We will assume his claims are worth investigating. "In the RVIS Basic Course you will leam to detect and decode die major gestalt of a target, describe sen­ sory impressions from the site, and grasp its funda­ mental dimensional characteristics," claims the RVIS Web site. It works like this: A "target coordinator" decides what will be viewed. He designates a place, such as a certain building, a particular canyon, or a specific air­ port, and a certain time, generally the present or past. (Remote viewing the future is possible as well, but as Smith correctly explained, títere are some tricky logical complications.) The target coordinator then generates a "encrypted coordinate" which "contains the coordina­ tor's intent to view that specific location." Then a medi­ ator, who does not know the nature of the location to be viewed, gives the remote viewer the encrypted coor­ dinate. The viewer then goes about his or her collection of information regarding the "major gestalt" of the object. Advanced viewers can often get extremely specific information. Unlike most psychics, Smith seems to haw an appreciation of sound double-blind studies. We are honest skeptics who are sure that stuff-like this, in a hip-cool universe, should be possible. There­ fore we have created a friendly, hopeful and honest challenge for Smith and his students. We have estab­ lished a database of places on Earth - with the intent that they be attended to by a remote viewer. We have encrypted their coordinates. The master list has been sealed and is being securely held by Texan editor Colby Black. At the leisure of Smith and his students we encourage them to view these sites and deliver to us, by e-mail, their summary of the major gestalt, sensory impressions, and fundamental dimensional character­ istics. Since we consider ourselves progressive skeptics, we will even ask Smith to provide his analysis and make independent "hit/miss" determinations. We promise no trickery and a clean protocol. The exact protocol and found at the encrypted coordinates can be www.ph.utexas.edu/~rwynar/RemoteViewing.html.Al1 readers are invited to participate. Smith specifically claims to have viewed targets as interesting as Hale Bopp (he saw nothing unusual), Pan Am Flight 800, and a remarkable precognitive ses­ sion (by two days) of the Iraqi missile striking the USS Stark. We want to believe. Wynar is a physics graduate student ■Role Models w i’fe ite S " B e fe & P B N T f Internet browser market healthy; Gates no monopolist At a Senate hearing recently, Microsoft founder Bill Gates fielded accusations that he has created a monopoly in the Internet software industry. CEOs of Microsoft's competitors, including Netscape and Sun Microsystems, were also present at the hearing to hurl allegations. The most seri­ ous complaint is that Microsoft is using its Windows software, which is installed on 90 percent of personal computers, to unfairly gain in the industry of Internet browsers. The main problem for Gates is the nov­ elty of the Internet industry. As a leader in computer systems with Microsoft Windows, it naturally follows that Microsoft would be a forerunner in operating Internet browsers. However, to his com­ petitors it seems Bill Gates is some kind of crazed computer mogul set to destroy any company that gets in his way. In truth, Gates is simply a smart businessman who knows how to correctly market an intelli­ gent product to the public. Unfortunately, other companies are just not equipped to compete at the level Microsoft demands. In his own defense Gates pointed to lower prices and new features in software, a sign of healthy industry competition, not a monopoly. Ironically, the newness of the Internet will eventually be Gates' biggest ally. As time goes on, innovators will find their own niche and exploit it as all good busi- Laurel Sch lie______ TEXAN C O LU M N IST nesspersons do. Eventually the protests against Gates will subside. The Internet is a huge industry with endless possibilities and adequate room for everyone. Even Gates himself doesn't know where the Internet could lead us in the future. Entrepreneurs in computer technology simply need to try harder. First on their agenda should be to start spending time and energy on creating better, more user- friendly products instead of whining at Senate hearings. Netscape and other com­ panies must realize this isn't elementary school where they can run and tattle to the teacher. This is the big, bad real world where someone is always one step ahead of you. It seems highly likely that those companies defaming Gates are doing so out of jealousy and resentment of his suc­ cess. When you're on the losing side of a battle, it's always easier to say you've been cheated than admit you couldn't keep up. Furthermore, the cry for government involvement by companies such as Netscape in the various aspects of the com­ puter industry makes little sense. Getting the government involved in a quickly expanding and changing computer sector will only lead to ineffectiveness. Govern­ ment officials are in no way experts on computer-related activities and they will try to impose a ideological business frame­ work on an industry that desperately needs flexibility. Governmental control will also slow technological change and restrict the freedom of entrepreneurs. Like it or not, America is a capitalist, consumerist society. A free market with little government association is the corner­ stone of this society and has made us an economic powerhouse. Mr. Gates is our current heavyweight champion and no one should blame him for knowing how to deliver a knockout punch. Schlie is an English senior. Gig Hutchison this In response to the recent news that Sen­ ator Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, will give the 1998 spring commencement address, please keep in mind. Hutchison gave the 1994 commencement address at Texas A&M University, in which she was quoted as saying that she would have attended A&M if not for the fact that, at the time, A&M did not admit women. This should serve as an interest­ ing point to Suzanne Tomlin's comments that Sen. Hutchison will bring conserva­ tive views back to the University. This may be true, Ms. Tomlin, but do you real­ ly want to stand up and cheer for some­ one who has publicly stated that she would rather have gone to A&M? Brian Wright U T alum Cyprus history This is to correct an erroneous state­ ment published in the "News Briefs" por­ tion of The Daily Texan on Monday, March 9th. The brief discussed the pro­ posed Cyprus peace talks and claimed that the island of Cyprus "has been split since 1974, when Turkey was invaded after a coup by supporters of union with Greece." This is completely false and mis­ leading. Cyprus, an independent nation, was invaded by Turkey. On July 20, 1974, Turkey launched an invasion wtft 40,000 troops against a defenseless Cyprus. Since 1974, 37 per­ cent of the island has remained under th Ü A military occupation. Additional­ ly, 200,000 Greek Cypriots, 40 percent of the total Greek Cypriot population, became refugees when they were forced to leave their homes. Turkish Cypriots have lived under Turkish military rule for the last 24 years. 1,619 Greek Cypriots remain unaccounted for. Turkey refuses to give any information regarding the missing persons. The United Nations has condemned Turkey's invasion of Cyprus and the continuing occupation of Cypriot territory. Amnesty International has doc­ umented the ongoing violations of human rights by Turkey. The only country to recognize the so- called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" is Turkey. The United Nations, the international community and the United States have condemned the decla­ ration, in 1983, of this "independent" state. Although the Greek Cypriots are seeking a peaceful settlement, the Turk­ ish leader of the Turkish pseudostate demands international recognition and cancellation of European Union entry negotiations with Cyprus. It is irresponsible of The Daily Texan to publish this erroneous information, and the Associated Press should also be more careful in the information it disseminates. Andreas C. Charalambides Business Junior President, Panhellenic Students Asso­ ciation Baxter firing Julie Starter was fibred the day after she spoke out at a pro-university staff rally. FIRING LINE The UT School of Law administration claims that she had "organizational" problems. Ms. Baxter claims she is being singled out for retribution. As a former member of the Texas State Employees Union (when I taught Fresh­ man Composition at the University of Houston) and a vociferous supporter of last year's pro-state employee legislation (including the $200 pay raise), I do not speak out on this issue lightly. However, the fact remains that in my recent interaction v¿ith Ms. Baxter in the UT School of Law's Student Affairs Office, I had to delay several employment search activities because she failed to obtain the number of transcript records that I had requested. Apparently, she didn't read my request form carefully. It is tragic, since Ms. Baxter is an advo­ cate for UT's underpaid and overworked staff members, but when I read the rea­ sons offered as justification for her firing, they rang true to me. Adrian R. Stewart First year law student You want Fries with that? This is in response to Mark Fries' edito­ rial on diversity. I too wish that in the spot where we put our ethnicity we could just put human —, for the human race. I am tired of being told that I am a racist if all I want is for people to be a united front and not divided by either gender or race. I recall a huge conversation I had on the human melting pot. I remember saying that although w e m e a mixture of many peoples I think we could get much farther in the race (no pun intended) for racial equality. I wish we were all starting on the same foot. I am tired of all the people who are creating more divisions in the people of the world who think that they are bringing us closer together. I think we would have a lot less prejudice and inequality if the blank on the Census form only had one option — for the human race. Stacy Prentice Elementary education freshman Fries mistaken Columnist Marc Fries ("Racial, ethnic diversity should not be big concern") makes the common middle-class liberal mistake of reducing the call for material and political equality to a mere statement of the equivalency of human experience. Yet the fact remains that when people look at the world differently they are able to glean vastly different truths from it. If you put a handful of corn-fed white boys together and have them produce a state­ ment regarding the demands to be faced by international politics in the 21st centu­ ry, it will be a very different document from one written by a group that is ethni­ cally, racially and sexually diverse. The call for diversity is precisely a call to escape the limitations established by Western forms of knowledge. Hie issue is not that blacks or women or anyone else is ignorant and should be allowed to par­ take of the fruits of Western learning out of a sense of fairness, but that everyone knows things in wonderfully unique ways that no one else can truly experi­ ence. It is clear that in order for the world to enjoy any sort of peace or security in the future, we are going to have to con­ struct a radically new way of relating to the world, a way that will be pioneered by the children of diversity. Enlightened self-interest, and its bedmates rationalism and humanism, have failed. They are now only one way of thinking among many, not the centerpiece of knowledge that they would like to be. So please, Marc, stop apologizing for homogeneity. At this point, narrow­ mindedness is beyond justification.

But SEO members say they were unfairly targeted for their political views. They said they are challeng­ ing UT officials to find other stu­ dent groups prohibited from hold­ ing on-campus activities after spon­ soring events with non-UT groups. SEO President Marc Levin said he has filed an open records request under the Texas Open Records act to obtain all documents relating to any UT student groups that have ever been barred by the University from holding public events. "UT is singling us out, the First Amendment give us the right to do what We did," Levin said. But UT officials don't agree. "This suspension is not about censorship or the First A m end­ ment," said Cheryl Wood, a student affairs administrator in the Office of Campus and Community Involve­ ment. "The University law prohibit­ ing co-sponsorship exists to protect student groups from non-campus organizations." Because Levin entered into a con­ tract w ith the Young America's Foundation to bring Horowitz to campus, the group violated UT poli­ cy, Wood said. University facilities are for students, not for the use of non-UT groups, she added. Student groups should not have to abide by contracts with outside groups to get speakers to come to the University, said Glenn Maloney, associate dean of students. But Levin maintains that SEO — not the foundation — took the ini­ tiative to post placards for the Young America's Foundation and to sell Horowitz's books at the cam­ pus event. Wood said she warned Levin before the event that SEO was vio­ lating UT policies. "If any student group breaks the rules, we have and will continue to suspend their privileges," she said. She added that she encourages stu­ dents who disagree with UT policy to legally contest the requirements before, not after, they break them. But UT law professor Lino Graglia, faculty adviser for SEO, said the policy isn't necessary. . "I think its very bad that UT has a policy that would impede a speaker like Horowitz from coming to the ! University/ Graglia said, Any 4aw that results m suppress­ ing First Amendment rights is very detrimental, he added. Levin has submitted a written appeal of the suspension to Jim Vick, UT vice president for Student Affairs. Vick can approve, reject, modify the decision or reopen the case. SEO Sara Daily Texan Staff Members of Students for Equal Opportunity, a UT student group opposing affirm ative action, appealed its suspension last week. Earlier this month, the group was suspended for co-sponsoring an event with a.non-campus group and distributing and selling non-campus publications at a speech by conserv­ ative author David H orow itz, according to a statement from the UT Office of the Dean of Students.

Celebration on African writers to feature Achebe ■ African author and political activist Chinua Achebe will highlight a three-day program celebrating African w riting Thursday through Sunday in Austin, organizers said. Achebe will speak at the Lyn­ don Baines Johnson Auditorium March 26 at 8 p.m. as part of "Multiculturalism and Hybridity in African Literatures," sponsored by the UT Plan II Program, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, and the African Literature Association — a 500-member international organization. Organizers said they expect the convention — to be held at the Omni Hotel in downtown Austin — will attract 350 African writers and scholars. The events will also feature presentations by authors and graduate students from Europe, Japan, Africa and the United States, Lindfors said. — Compiled by Ryan Bauer and Kieran Healy, Daily Texan Staff Health officials: strep cases no cause for public ‘scare’ 44 We want people sharing toothbrushes, silverware or glasses, stand as precautions for the disease. Keeping all wounds or sores clean is also nec­ essary. Jenny Daily Texan Staff Dailv Te) TDH officials said there were three times more cases than they expected in the first six weeks of 1998, but a case of two infected sisters is the only report of con­ traction w ithin a household or from another infected person. "You see this kind of outbreak in a community at a particular time and at this time of year," McMichael said. "As for knowing why — I am not sure if anyone knows." A ccording to McBride, the greatest surge of cases has occurred in Harris County, but the reports seem to be subsiding. Travis County's numbers may also be tapering off. TDH officials said they are reviewing medical records of Tex­ ans who nave the invasive bacte­ ria to try to find the reasons for their infections. They are also test­ ing family members and close con­ tacts for signs of the disease. Research is being conducted to find the most suitable antibiotic to treat the most severe conditions. TDH has set up a phone hotline to answ er any questions in regards to Strep A. Anyone may call 834-6795 Monday through Fri­ day, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Satur­ day and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. With an upsurge in the number of cases of Invasive G roup A Strep, coughs and sneezes do not seem the same this cold season. Although many Austinites and UT students have been alarmed, local health professionals say there is little reason to worry. "I am scared," said Lien Nguyen, an electrical engineering senior. "I do not have enough information. And for what I know, there is no treatment for that [bac­ teria]." The Texas Department of Health reported 123 cases of the invasive strain w ith 26 deaths in Texas since Dec. 1, 1997. Nineteen cases have occurred in Travis County, and six people have died. The last known death occurred Feb. 27, but fears still reside. "There has been a m assive increase of students calling and coming to talk to nurses about the Strep A scare," said M elinda McMichael, a medical doctor and UT medical director. "The risk for a UT student is very low." Doug McBride, a TDH public information officer, said the mas­ sive media attention may be fuel­ ing panic in the community, but added that concern is understand­ able. "We want people to know about its existence, but we do not want to save lives by a scare," McBride said. "Even with all of the atten­ tion, this is still a rare disease." Strep A is a bacteria that lives inside the noses and throats of almost one-fourth of the popula­ tion, yet most people rarely get sick. Invasive Strep A differs from more common Strep A infections, like strep throat and im petigo, because a special coat of protein covers the bacteria, making it dif­ ficult for the body to rid itself of the germs. About 10,000 to 15,000 cases of the Invasive Group A bacteria occur each year in the U nited States, resulting in almost 2,000 deaths.

NF produces enzyme-toxins that poison and digest the skin and other tissues. Twenty percent of patients die from the disease. STSS causes low blood pressure, shock and injury to organs such as kidneys, liver and lungs. Sixty percent of patients die from the disease. Strep A bacteria spread s through direct contact with dis­ charges /ro m the noses and throats of infected individuals or contact with infected skin lesions. The invasive strain occurs when germs sneak past the defenses of someone who is already infected. Sores or breakage of the skin allows the bacteria to get to the tissue. Fever, severe pain and swelling, and redness in a wound site are the early signs of NF, while dizzi­ ness, confusion, fever, rash and abdominal pain describe the early signs of STSS: UT Health Center and TDH offi­ cials suggest seeing a doctor only if sym ptom s are accom panied with a fever of 101 for adults and 103 and above for children, since the condition mimics other dis­ eases like the flu.

Arizona TUCSON, Ariz. — University of Arizona President Peter Likins told the UA's Associated Students Sen­ ate he appreciates student opinion about die university's pending con­ tract with N ike, but said it is a financial "drop in the bucket" com­ pared with other corporate con­ tracts. "I don't want to create an impres­ sion that .this is a major financial impact," Likins said. "It's important to me because it's important to you — that's it." Students questioned Likins about allegations of Nike labor violations and how the university's contract will impact the corporation's labor practices. M onica . W ilson, a Students Against Sweatshops spokeswoman, said in spite, of a code of conduct that has existed since 1992, Nike continues to commit labor viola­ tions. "Nike's investigators have leaked reports of carcinogenic glues [in the factory's production of shoes] and threats of employee firings for not working overtime, " said Wilson, a German studies and anthropology senior. • Likins reiterated his promises that the University of Arizona will hold Nike to its code of conduct, which states that the company will not commit acts of forced labor and pro­ hibits illegal child labor by its con­ tractors around the world. "I want them to know that if they get themselves in trouble, they will lose the business of the UA," Likins, said. But Likins did acknowledge that although the code of conduct is in place, Nike will never be completely free of questionable conduct. "There will continue to be abuses — you can put that in the bank," Likins said. "Nike will never be per­ fect." Likins said creating a code of con­ duct similar to one Duke University drafted for its athletic apparel con­ ta c t would be worth exploring. Duke University created its own code of conduct requiring suppliers of officially licensed Duke apparel to curb company labor violations.

Stephen Hale, 45, was arrested at his Denton home about 3 p.m. Friday, by offi­ cers of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Denton police and a Texas Ranger. Hale was charged with delivery of more than four ounces and less than five pounds of marijuana, a felony which requires mandatory probation if convicted. The arrest resulted from an ongoing undercover oper­ ation by DPS narcotics offi­ cers, DPS spokeswoman Tela Mange said. Republican incum bent Bruce Isaacks told the Denton Record-Chronicle he knows lit­ tle about the case, but he said he im m ediately asked a judge to allow his office to withdraw from the handling the case. The Dallas Morning News reported Saturday that Hale served a three-year felony probation in the mid-1970s for what he called "a good- sized Baggie" of marijuana. About 15 people arrested in beach brawls ■CORPUS CHRJSTI — About 15 people began post­ ing bond and leaving the Nueces County jail Sunday after they were arrested dur­ ing a series of fights at a Padre Island beach. Police and deputies resort­ ed to pepper spray and batons during the Saturday afternoon disturbance involv­ ing about 100 people Satur­ day evening at J.P. Luby Surf Park. The m elee began when officers attempted to arrest a man for public intoxication. Officers say a number of the m an's friends confronted diem. Officers used batons and pepper spray to defend them selves, while at the same time two other fights and a dogfight between two pit bulls broke out. Police arrested about 15 people for public intoxica­ tion and disorderly conduct and practically emptied the park by 6:30 p.m. The park was estim ated to have a crowd numbering between 30,000 and 70,000. — Compiled from Associated Press reports The Robustos, a nine-piece ska band from Atlanta, 6a, plays a short, free show for Austinites on Sunday after- noon in front of Tower Records.

"There seems to be a lack of consistency," Leoni said. At least 39 U.S. citizens are cur­ rently jailed in Mexican border states for firearms possession or importation, U.S. consular officials said Friday. Dowden got the full treatment, spending Christmas and 102 other days in a prison near Matamoros before his charge was changed from importation to simple possession. Dowden was convicted and sen­ tenced to two years in prison, paid a $640 fine under Mexican law and left. Janice Dowden, an accountant in the southern Fort Worth suburb of Burleson, figures that her son's ordeal cost the family $17,675, including $150 for a bodyguard to protect her son in prison and $48 for liquor for the judge. into the country are swept up acci­ dentally in arrests aimed at crimi­ nals involved in weapons smug­ gling. Still, her son remained in jail. Finally, at the suggestion of a pri­ vate investigator she hired a pair of Texas bounty hunters who negotiat­ ed her son's release. In 1997, Mexican police and sol­ diers confiscated 1,892 firearms, m ore than 90 percent of which were traced back to sales at U.S. gun shops, according to the Mexi­ can Embassy in Washington. Drug dealers probably smuggle thousands of high-powered auto­ m atic weapons into M exico for crim inal purposes each year, he said. The Mexican federal govern­ ment is vigorously trying to stem the southward flow of guns as U.S. o fficials attem pt to block drugs flowing north. M ost A m ericans arrested on weapons charges spend several nights in a city jail, post bail of up to $8,000 and never return to Mexi­ co, said Mark Leoni, U.S. consul in Matamoros. But every year dozens of other U.S. citizens are incarcerat- FORT WORTH,— Hundreds of U.S. citizens wind up in handcuffs or prison each year for violating strict Mexican gun-control statutes, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram report­ ed Sunday. Most A m ericans arrested for Mexican gun violations are inno­ cent tourists, say U.S. consular offi­ cials in the six districts along the 1,933-mile U.S.-Mexico border. Darrell Dowden, for example. The landscaper from Carrollton, a northeast Dallas suburb, was look­ ing forward to a two-day Mexican getaway Nov. 15 when he crossed the border. Problem was, Dowden had an unloaded .410-gauge shot­ gun behind his front seat, where it had been for the past five years. Mexican border officials arrested Dowden on suspicion of smuggling a military weapon into Mexico, a federal crime with a potential 30- year prison sentence. It would cost Dowden 103 days in a Mexican jail and more than $17,000. "I feel wronged," Dowden said. "Hell, I wasn't running weapons down to Chiapas or anything. They know it was a little old rabbit-shoot­ ing .410. I don't feel I did anything wrong, and they're going to take three months of my life and all my money?" Darrell Dow den's story is not unique. Mexico forbids the importation or possession of any gun or ammuni­ tion without a permit. Its laws ban dozens of types of guns that are legal in the border states of Califor­ nia, A rizona, New M exico and Texas, including the .357-caliber Magnum pistol and any shotgun with a barrel shorter than 25 inches. Dowden said he was unaware of the law until he crossed the border. In the frantic first days after her son 's arrest, h is m other, Janice Dowden, called or wrote letters to lawyers, diplomats, senators, con­ gressmen, Mexican officials, even Ross Perot. Mexican officials acknowledge that some tourists who bring guns TíciUtí. CrrOkl A| 1fmMi niH lirnrT — lO f tt e l----------- End of the Rhode... Rams’ Cinderella season ends with 79-77 loss ST. LOUIS -r»- Down six with less than a minute to go, Stanford seemed beaten, merely die latest NCAA tour­ nament victim of opportunistic Rhode Island. 'T o be honest it looked like we were going to lose," Cardinal forward Mark Madsen said. "And then Arthur Lee started making plays." It was time for Lee, the little guy on an otherwise huge Stanford team, to carry die Cardinal to the Final Four for the first time in five decades. "We needed something to happen," Lee said Sunday after scoring 13 of his 26 points in die final 2:04 and making a key steal as Stanford won die Midwest Regional 79-77. "I decided in tjie last minute that we just had to get it done. We had no other choice." Rhode Island, the eighth seed, unraveled late but still had a charvY» with five seconds left. However Tyson Wheeler missed three straight free throws that could have made it 77-77. He had been fouled on a 3-pointer by Lee. "You have to understand, our heart was cut out before that," Rhode Island coach Jim Harrick said, "lío ask him to step up there in that moment, when die needle is already in die balloon ... he had no zip left." Rams players and coaches were upset that Lee put his hands to his throat in the choke sign after Wheeler's second miss. "I was at midcourt," Lee said. "I didn't make him miss." Lee's moment of poor sportsmanship was die only blemish on his almost flawless performance down die stretch. And after carrying the Cardinal, the 6-foot point guard earned a ride around the Kiel Carter as his teammates hoisted him upon their shoulders. Lee, who had been unfavorably — and, perhaps, unjustly — compared to former Stanford star Brevin Knight, was named the region's MVP for taking the third-seeded Cardinal where Knight never did.

Arizona scored again in the inning when center fielder Allison Johnson doubled to plate designated player Lindsay Collins.

Texas continued to tnreaten in die sixth, when second baseman Nikki Cockrell and Scham- horet both singled. BmEvai» (18-0) ended the rally by striking out two batters. Arizona held on for the 2-1 victory, ending Texas' school-record, 17-game winning streak. The defeat at the hands of the top-ranked team in die nation shouldn't dampen the squad's stellar performance over the weekend. Of die Horns' six wins, four came against Top 25-ranked programs, and in all but one of those outings (a 5-3 victory over No. 22 Cal State-Northridge) Texas held its opponents scoreless. The other wins inducted a 2-0 upset of No. 6 Oklahoma in the semifinal round and victories over No. 18 Oregon State, No. 24 Southwestern Louisiana, University of Nevada-Las Vegas and Georgia State. SOFTBAU/Ptgt ¡1 .. - t — Page 10 Monday, March 23,1998 Tiffi D a ily T e xan Texas di earn spot at NCAAs Daily Texan Staff While most students were out buying sun­ screen for the beach or the slopes, packing bags to jump in the car or on a plane in anticipation of a much-needed spring break vacation, the UT men's divers were focusing on their final chance to compete at the national meet this weekend in Auburn. With Texas in contention for the champi­ onship crown, the divers know they can make a real difference in the final outcome, maybe even the difference between going home national champions or not. "If they step up and dive like they really can, they put it all together, they can contribute sig­ nificant points and really make the difference," head diving coach Matt Scoggin said. "Stanford and Aubum are going to be tough swimming- wise, but they won't be producing that much diving-wise, and if we can make up a strong difference between those two teams, our diving teams and their diving teams could mean the difference between the whole meet." But to receive that chance, the divers first had to make it past the rest of the competion at the NCAA Zone D Regional Championships, held in Austin, March 13-14. Seven spots were avail­ able for divers from 12 schools, and the compe­ tition included Big 12 champions Mark Naf- TEHAS MEN S DIVING tanel from A&M and Danny Bergman- from Nebraska, who qualified for two of the seven spots. Three of the spots were earned by Texas divers. Freshman Grant Gritzmacher won the one-meter and three-meter springboards, easily claiming a spot, and he also finished third on the platform. Junior Ryan Harmon finished third in the three-meter, while sophomore John Eisler fin­ ished fourth in the same event, good enough to earn them a place on the Texas team that will head to Aubum Monday Ito prepare for the meet's start on Thursday. Senior David Clark was the^only Texas diver who did not earn one of the seven places, miss­ ing qualifying by only one place. The divers said the team is now ready to focus on what has been everyone's goal all season: win­ ning a national title. Eisler was glad to qualify in order to be able to contribute to this goal. "The [three] of us can all score at the national [meet], so we can really help out our team, because they need our help this year," Eisler said. In moving on to NCAAs, the clivers hope to per­ form as well there as they have all season. Gritz­ macher believes if they do this, scoring points for the team won't be a problem. "That's the nice thing of having a team with our kind of depth, is that if one of us doesn't step up you know there's still two other guys that are definitely capable of the task," Gritz­ macher said. "So I definitely anticipate us scor­ ing many points at NCAAs for the Texas team." Hannon is one of the two divers who made it past Zones last season and competed at the championship meet, finishing 16th and earning him All-America honors. Eisler is the other diver with such an experience, although his was not so positive. He hopes his previous experience will give him an advantage this year. "I know what it takes to do well at the meet," Eisler said. "I know what the pressure's like, and I know how bad it feels to lose, so I defi­ nitely hope it's gonna give me an advantage." With their final competitors qualified, both teams sptent the remainder of the week in Austin, training and focusing on this week's challenge: getting past Stanford and Aubum and coming home national champions. "Not many people nowadays really and truly focus on something three weeks away," head men's swimming coach Eddie Reese said. "They know it's there, they've, been working since September to get in position to have a shot at the NCAA title, but I think during Spring Break...that's when everything started coming together a little bit more." Homs grab 9th place at NCÁA championship Daily Texan Staff The UT women's swimming and ^ diving team finished ninth and received 3 4 All-American honors over the weekend at the 1998 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships at the University Aquatic Center. The Longhorns picked up honors that included head diving coach Matt Scoggin's designation as NCAA Div­ ing Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year. Senior Vera Ilyina was also named NCAA Diver of the Year for the second consecutive year. Ilyina broke her own pool record of 599.25 points (set in Friday's pre­ liminaries) by totaling 612.60 points to claim the NCAA title on the three- meter, springboard for the second straight year. She also won the NCAA title on the one-meter spring­ board, scoring a total of 495.70 points for the second consecutive season. After winning two titles this weekend, Ilyina now ranks third all- time with four career NCAA Cham­ pionships in diving. Megan Neyer from Florida ranks first with eight TEXAS SW IMMING & DIVING titles, followed "by Eileen Richitelli from Stanford with five titles. UT sophomore Laura Wilkinson came in second behind Ilyina qn the three-meter springboard, scoring a career-high 555.75 points. Wilkinson also placed second on the platform, scoring 633.25 points. Freshman Kelley Persinger placed 13th on the one-meter springboard and 16th on the platform "I'm very proud of the Texas divers," Scoggin said. "Laura's been dealing with back problems, but she competed well and almost pulled off a first-place finish [on the platform]. Vera dove like she's capable of. This weekend should have put some con­ fidence back in her heart. She's one of the best in the world." In women's swimming, junior Erin Maher, in her first-ever individ­ ual NCAA Championship final, placed sixth in the 100-yard back­ stroke with a time of 54.20. This marked her highest finish in an indi­ vidual event. Fellow Longhorn Darby Chang came in 14th in the event, scoring a time of 55.59. , Kentucky: Wildcats avenge 1992 loss Continued from page 9 but McLeod missed a jumper with 17 seconds remaining and Turner followed by making one of two free throws. McLeod did hit a 3 after that, mak­ ing it 85-84, and Avery got the chance to win it after Edwards made one of two free throws with four sec­ onds to go. Duke, which had been 7-0 in regional finals under coach Mike Krzyzewski, started out like it wouldn't need any Laettner-like magic to win, going on an 18-0 run to seize a commanding 38-20 lead. To create open shots for their slumping stars — Langdon and McLeod were a combined 4-for-22 Friday against Syracuse — the Blue Devils repeatedly took the bal XTC C a b i n e t a % ALL NUDE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT OUR GIRLS PARTY NAKED • $12.oo Cover on Sundays • •Wednesday All Nude Oil Wrestling • • Thursday Trash Disco • B a c h e l o r P a r ty H e a d q u a r t e r s Open till 5am I ri. --------------------------------------\ Sal. • IS \ I p 5 1 2 -9 2 9 -3 5 5 8 3 5 0 1 A n dtree Blvd. Take Hwy. 290 to Springdale A u s t i n ' s l í e s !

All but four of Duke's points dur­ ing the run, Carrawell's driving layup and two free throws, came from the outside. But Kentucky, on the verge of falling so far behind that it might need one of the greatest comebacks in NCAA history to recover, answered with a 12-0 run finished off by two Sheppard baskets to make it 38-32. The Blue Devils, held scoreless for exactly four minutes, ended the run with Carrawell's follow off Langdon's miss. Shane Battier later made two free throws, then drove the baseline to dunk over 6-foot-10 Jamaal Magliore as Duke pushed the lead to 49-39 at halftime. But Magliore got his revenge, starting Kentucky's postgame cele­ bration by jumping on the scorer's table after Avery's desperation shot missed and running the length of it over startled reporters. He then ran to an open basket and hung off it as thousands of Kentucky fans jammed inside 40,589-seat Tropicana Field whooped it up, the school fight song playing in the background. UT grabs 4th NCAA championship ffcMMS JOMS Daily Texan Staff At the 1998 NCAA Indoor Champi­ onships March 13-14, the UT women's track and field team ensured they would spend spring break as champi­ ons. After four years of frustration, the Longhorns finally overcame Louisiana State's stranglehold on women's track by amassing 60 points to capture their fourth NCAA Indoor title and first since 1990. By winning four individual titles and doubling second-place LSU's point total, the Longhorns guaranteed their previous narrow defeats would not be repeated. Texas tied for second behind LSU last year and finished third from 1994-19%. The Tigers had not been defeated at an indoor cham­ pionship meet since 1992, when UT coach Beverly Kearney led her Florida Gators to the title. LaKeisha Backus set the tone for the Longhorns on the opening day of competition. One of the most sur­ prising performers of the season, according to Kearqey, the junior sprinter culminated an impressive indoor season by winning the 200- meter dash and capturing her first national title. TEXAS WOMEN'S TRACK Senior Angie Vaughn also left Indianapolis with her first national title. Vaughn had already estab­ lished a new UT record in the 55- meter hurdles earlier this year and had tied a conference record by amassing 23 total points at the Big 12 Conference Championships. She con­ tinued her dominance by winning the 55-meter hurdles on the first day of the meet. The Longhorns maintained their lead on the second day of competition. Sophomore Erin Aldrich won the high jump on the same field she tied the American collegiate indoor record on Feb. 14. The Arizona transfer and Dal­ las native became UT's second nation­ al high*jump champion. Angie Brad- bum won an indoor title in 1988 and an outdoor title in 1990. Junior Suziann Reid captured her fourth national title by becoming UT's first indoor 400-meter champion. Reid's victory was the fastest 400- meter time in the nation this year. The Longhorns opened outdoor competition with a full squad for the first time at the UNLV Open March 18-21 in Las Vegas. Texas captured seven first-place finishes and gar­ nered 59 points to tie with host UNLV for the meet victory. Junior Katarina Eklof again reached NCAA provisional qualifying status in the javelin with a winning toss of 154 feet, eight inches. Eklof, a native of Sweden and a Southwest Texas State transfer, won the javelin for the second time in as many meets. The Longhorn sprint crew con­ tinued this season's success by winning five of six events. Fresh­ man Nicole Hoxie won the 100- meter hurdles in 13.99 seconds, junior Kim McGrudér won the 400-meter dash in 55.6 seconds, senior Toya Brown captured the 800-meter dash in 2 minutes, 11.04 seconds, junior Aminah Haddad won the 200-meter dash in 23.26 seconds, and freshman Angel Pat­ terson captured her first colle­ giate victory by winning the 400- meter hurdles in 1 minute, 3.55 seconds. Sophomore Maureen Sweeney pro­ vided UT with a victory in the distance events by winning the 3,000-meter run in 10 minutes, 55.1 seconds.

S T h e Daily T exan Monday, March 23,1998 Page 11 Homs steal win at Texas A&M Daily Texarr Staff There's nothing quite like winning in the backyard of your rival. Espe­ cially when the soil of that backyard is Texas A&M's "sacred" grass. "It always feels good to beat A&M, even when it's a big or little track meet," sprinter Matt Ellis said. "Beat­ ing them is great, no matter what sport it is." The UT men's track and field team captured first place over the weekend at the College Station Relays by win­ ning 11 events. The Horns finished with 205 points, while their rival and host Texas A&M, could only score 115 points to place second. Sam Houston State was third in the seven-team meet with 71 points. Several Homs earned NCAA provi­ sional qualification for the national out­ door championships to be held later in the year in Buffalo, N.Y. Senior Wayne Fenton earned provisional qualifica­ tion in the 100-meter dash by sprinting to victory in a time of 10.31 seconds. The time ranks Fenton sixth on the all- time Longhorn performers list. Sophomore Roger Roesler earned his second consecutive provisional qualification in the shot put. Roesler won the event with a mark of 58-9 1/4. The 400-meter relay team also provisionally qualified this week­ end, racing to victory in a time of 39.87 seconds. TEXAS MEN'S TRACK "I was happy about how our relay team did," Matt Ellis, a member of the relay team, said. ''We didn't run against heavy competition, so I think we can run even faster than that and get our automatic qualification* Other winners for Texas included sophomore Jacob Davis and senior Ali Qabiome. Davis bounced back from a disappointing performance at the NCAA Indoor Track and Reid Cham­ pionships to claim victory at the A&M meet Davis did not mark at the nation­ al méet as he was unable to overcome the flu. But in College Station, Davis won the pole vault with a vault of 17 feet and 1/4 inches. Meanwhile, Qabiome won the 800-meter run with a time of one minute and 51.81 seconds. Juniors Nate Wilbert, Kevin Hamilton, Sammy Juarez and Ellis were also victorious in individual events Saturday. Wilbert won the 3.000-meter steeplechase in a time of nine minutes and 15.85 seconds while Hamilton took top honors in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.24 seconds. Hamilton's teammate Calvin Williams finished closely behind him with a time of 14.30 sec­ onds. Ellis won the 200-meter dash in 21.38 seconds and Juarez won the 5.000-meter run in a time of 14 min­ utes and 35.99 seconds. The time was a personal-best for Juarez. The final Horn to capture a first- place finish was freshman David Aaron. Aaron won the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 51.56 second^. Texas' lone indoor All-American, Mark Boswell, did not compete in this weekend's meet. Boswell posted a personal-best jump fef 7 feet and 5 inches one week ago«at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Champi­ onships in Indianapolis, Ind. The mark placed Boswell second in the national meet and broke his own UT 'freshman record of 7 feet and 4 1/2 inches. It also ranks hint» second on die all-time performers chart. The championships ini Indianapolis were the closing event of tne mdoor sea­ son. Texas finished tied for 24th place, with eight points giving them their third consecutive top-25 national meet finish. Missouri Idaho, Kansas, Dartmouth, Colorado State and George Mason all had eight points to finish in the tie. Arkansas won the title with 56 points. Also during Spring Break, the Homs lost one athlete for the year and gained another. Senior All-American Aaron Fox was officially lost for the season after having loose cartilage from his right knee removed. The team captain will redshirt and will be able to return to the track in 1999. "I thought redshirting Aaron was the right flüng to do," head coach Bubba Thornton said. "He could have possibly competed, but it wouldn't have been fair to Aaron or the program." Baseball: Horns drop 2-of-3 to K-State Continued from page 9 him," Garrido said. By dropping 2-of-3, the Longhorns find themselves in a tough situation in the Big 12 South. Texas' conference record stands at 1-7 after the Longhorns dropped their first six conference games by losing two to Texas Tech and being swept by Baylor before falling to Kansas State, 11-10 on Friday. Texas led the Wildcats, 10-7, head­ ing into the eighth, but closer Curt Kautsch (1-2) could not secure the win, giving up two of the four runs Kansas State scored in the inning. Schumacher had his best game in a Texas uniform by going 4-for-5 and contributing six RBIs in the victory. The Longhorns snapped their six- game losing streak Saturday by defeat­ ing the Wildcats, 10-6. Cndland drove in four runs to pace the Longhorns, and Scott Dunn (2-4) got the win by striking out six in six innings of work Texas faces Southwest Texas State, which it defeated 17-1 on Feb. 17, at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Disch-Falk Field.

The Suns trailed by 10 going into the final period. They closed to 85-81 when Dennis Scott's basket capped an 8-0 run. Vinny Del Negro, who scored 15 points, made six consecutive free throws in the final 2:35 to keep the Spurs ahead. Chapman had 20 points in the first half. Duncan, who leads the NBA with 48 double-doubles this season, had 13 points and 12 rebounds at the break. Fred Drasner Chief Executive Officer An Open Letter to Students Planning to Attend Law School from U.S.News & World Report Dear Student: DON’T YOU JUST HATE TO BE GRADED? Well, by their shrill protests about US.News & World Report law school rankings, so do most of the deans of the law schools you are considering. However, as a law school graduate with both a J.D. and a LL.M. degree, I can tell you that these same deans will subject you to rigorous grading. You will be required to endure lectures from tenured professors who have not changed their class notes since the Battle of Hastings. Then, after attending class for a full semester, you will be given one exam to determine your grade. One exam, one semester, one grade. One roll of the dice to measure your performance. At U.S.News & World Report we are far more equitable (to use a legal term). We have a multfrfaceted, m ulti' dimensional, sophisticated ranking system developed and evolved over many years to give you guidance on what may be one of your largest financial investments and certainly one of the most important choices for your career in law and perhaps beyond. While our law school rankings should not be the only criteria in your choice of a law school, they should certainly be an important part of the analysis. Get your copy of US.News & World Report’s Best Graduate Schools guide on newsstands now. Or, to make it easier for you to see the book that 164 law school deans would prefer you not see (notwithstanding their commitment to the First Amendment), call h80O836'6397 (ask for extension 5105) and I will arrange for a copy of the book to be sent directly to you at $1 off the newsstand price.* This will also ensure that you have a copy of these important rankings because, as a result of publicity surrounding the deans’ determination to have you ignore the rankings, they are a very hot item.

The Spurs won for only the sec­ ond time in 14 games this season against the top four teams in the NBA's Western Conference, and for the first time against Phoenix in four tries. If the season ended now, San Antonio would face Phoenix in the first round of the playoffs. "The win tonight was real impor­ tant," San Antonio center David Robinson. "We have a tough stretch and need to start playing good bas­ ketball. We have to really finish strong. This one helped us get back on our feet." Tim Duncan had 26 points and 21 rebounds Sunday night, leading the Spurs. Robinson added 17 points and 16 rebounds. "It feels better to know we can beat them," said Duncan. "It would have been tough having not won a game from them the entire season. But who knows, everybody says it is a whole different game in the play­ offs." Rex Chapman scored 30 points for the Suns. Antonio McDyess had 14 points and 10 rebounds. The Spurs trailed 44-42 at half- time, but used four 3-pointers by Chuck Person to outscore Phoenix 23-11 in the first 6:38 of the third quarter. Person finished with 14 points. "I'm real pleased with the perfor- Softball Continued from page 9 Head coach Connie Clark said the Horns are capable of competing with any team in the nation. "I was pleased with our overall effort," Clark said. "Even though we didn't get the final result we were looking for, we proved to ourselves that we can play with anyone." In Sunday's shutout of Okla­ homa, UT pitcher Christa Williams (16-1) continued her mastery of the competition, pitching a complete- game one-hitter and striking out 13 batters. Texas found the only offense it needed from the bat of Schamhorst in the opening inning. She singled in Reeves and center fielder Autumn Eastes to put the Longhorns up for good, 2-0. Stanford Continued from page 9 Stanford (30-4), which last reached the Final Four in its cham­ pionship season of 1942, will meet Kentucky on Saturday at San Anto­ nio. The Rams' loss brought a crush­ ing end to Harrick's season. Har­ rick, who won a national title at UCLA in 1995 but was dismissed in disgrace for recruiting violations the following year, had taken Rhode Island to the threshold of the Final Four in his first season there. "We had a phenomenal year," said Harrick, whose Rams (25-9) upset top seed Kansas in the second round. "It's a shame we had to lose in the manner that we lost." Rhode Island built a 60-49 lead and was still up 71-65 after Cuttino Mobley hit two free throws with 59.3 seconds left. A three-point play by Lee cut Stanford's deficit to 74-73. Mobley caught the inbound pass but had the ball stripped by Lee; the ball went directly to Mark Madsen, who dunked, was fouled, and hit the free throw to put Stanford ahead. The Rams felt Lee fouled Mobley oh the play. said. "I heard it." "He pushed my elbow," Mobley "They hit his arm," Harrick said. Lee disagreed: "If it happened, I would say it. What are they going to do, take the Final Four away? But I did­ n't I tipped the ball out of his hand." After a Rhode Island turnover, Kris Weems hit a free throw to put Stanford up 77-74 before Lee's foul gave Wheeler his three free throws. * A 66 percent free throw shooter, Wheeler was well short on his first two tries before missing the third on purpose. The rebound went out of bounds to Stanford, which inbound­ ed to Lee. He was fouled and made both shots with 4.2 seconds left. He is 26-for-26 from the line in the tour­ nament. Mobley hit a meaningless 3-point­ er at the buzzer and then stood on the court, hunched over, as Stanford players and coaches celebrated all around him. 'Tm very upset," Mobley said. "If you lose in the Elite Eight and you know you should have won, how would you feel? It's just ridiculous." Page 12 Monday, March 2 3 ,1 9 9 8 T h e Da ily T exa n to keep power on for Clinton arrival ACCRA, Ghana — Slowly, die dri­ ver edges his car into die busy inter­ section, blasting his hom and flashing his lights before speeding past the darkened comer and making it safely to the other side. The power is out, die traffic light is dead and automotive pandemonium reigns. This is just a hint of the electri­ cal nightmare that has been growing in Ghana since January. Industry has been hobbled, thou­ sands of people have been laid off and rationing programs mean the electricity flips off in nearly every Accra neighborhood for 12 hours a day. Ghana, long one of Africa's stronger economies, is struggling to get by on generators, candles and oil lamps. Water levels at die country's main hydroelectric dam, Ghana's prime source of electricity, have dropped drastically because of poor rainfall. Power output is down more than 45 percent. But with President Clinton arriving Monday to begin a 12-day swing through Africa, Ghanaian authorities are leaving litde to chance. Fearing an embarrassing electricity outage — even though most places the president will visit already have priority for power — generators have been installed nearly everywhere that he and Hillary Rodham Clinton will visit, according to a top Ghanaian official. Any sudden shutdown dur­ ing their nine-hour stop will be immediately corrected. "We cannot afford to let down our august visitor," the official said on condition his name not be used. "This visit means a lot to Africa and to Ghana in particular." Clinton's six-nation tour, which will focus on a plan to bolster trade and investment in Africa, also includes stops in Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa, Botswana and Senegal. The electricity crisis, though, has many people here worrying die visit may mean little investment for their country. "Ghana goes around saying 'invest in my country,' but this will scare investors away," said Sunil Wahd- wani, who owns a small Accra plas­ tics factory. "Nobody would want to make a rush to investments here." Wahdwani — who like many of Ghana's small industrialists is Indian — has been forced to lay off one quarter of his 60-person staff and slash work hours. The factory once operated around the clock, seven days a week. Now, it runs three 24- hour days a week. And even when there is electricity, he said power surges and outages plague produc­ tion. Wahdwani employees, drenched in sweat as they fight die heat and the new production timetable, say they cannot work like this for long. "If this continues for another six months we will not make it," said Jacob Aguleke, whose hours have been cut from 48 to 36 and his pay slashed accordingly. "I've got four children and a wife. How can I live on 25 percent less pay?" he demands. Government attempts to fight the crisis include public awareness cam­ paigns to cut consumption, a power- rationing system and m oves to increase the thermal production of power. Accra has been divided into sections with residential areas getting 12 hours of power a day. Each neigh­ borhood receives electricity alternate­ ly during the day or at night. Industries have been allowed to operate for 24-hour stretches, but Wahdwani, for example, only gets a total of 72 hours of power a week. Across Accra and nearly the whole country, the effects of the crisis are obvious. Away from die hotels and restau­ rants that cater to foreigners and Accra's wealthy elite, away from die enclave of embassies and the big gov­ ernment offices that either can afford generators or have priority for power, street after street is filled with pitch- black stores and houses. Darkness is interrupted only by a few generator- lit buildings and die flicker of candles and oil lamps. At the Buckingham Palace restau­ rant, once a lively spot on die edge of town, waitresses hold oil lamps in one hand, while balancing trays for a few customers in the other. They count change by the light of passing cars and work behind a bar lit only by a single candle jammed onto an overturned beer bottie. "It is v'ery difficult," said Vivian Boateng, whose family owns the restaurant, decrying the warm beer, lack of music, and dearth of cus­ tomers. "We are praying for rain." A Nigerian woman, right runs up a dirt hill to gat a better view of Pope John Paul It's helicopter before it takes off, as other worshippers make an early axit following a mass celebrated by the pope in the Nigerian city of Onitsha. ASSOCIATED PRESS Pope encourages peaceful change in Nigeria ONITSHA, Nigeria — Braving sweltering heat, Pope John Paul II issued a powerful call Sunday for change in this country in the grip of military rule. Hundreds of thousands turned out for the papal Mass in the country's Roman Catholic heartland, a rare day of celebration for a hard-pressed peo­ ple. The pope preached from an altar beneath a thatched hut that faced a red dust bowl and beatified a priest, Cyprian Michael Iwene Tansi. Since John Paul arrived Saturday for a three-day visit, his message to the military regime that seized power in 1993 coup has been strikingly direct. The pope kept up the pressure in Sunday's Mass. "All Nigerians must work to rid society of everything that offends the dignity of die human person or vio­ lates human rights," he said. "This means reconciling differences, over­ coming ethnic rivalries and injecting honesty, efficiency and competence in the art of governing." Starting before dawn, hundreds of thousands of people — on foot, perched on motorbikes and crammed into buses — converged on the Mass site, an airfield on the outskirts of Onitsha. The road to the airport was lined with huge portraits of Tansi and the pope, and blocked by a miles-long traffic jam. In one battered old Mer­ cedes, a group of nuns, stopped to say some prayers and set out on foot for the final leg of the journey. One after another, people praised the pope and urged him to help free their country from the shackles of a military junta that jails its opponents, kills at will and stifles opposition. "My prayers are that he will bring us peace," said 23-year-old Ugwuanyi Evenin who walked at least 10 miles with her father to see the pope. "This is twice he comes to N igeria, that means he likes the Nigerian people." Noting the military jun&'s promise to hold elections later this year, John Paul said "there was no place" for abuse of power, misuse of authority, or arbitrarily excluding individuals or groups from politics. The promise of free elections has been met by wide skepticism. The last national elections, in 1993, were void­ ed by the military government and the apparent winner, Moshood Abio- la, was jailed and remains in custody. John Paul flew here from Abuja, the capital, his helicopter setting off a swirl of, red dust over well-wishers. The 77-year-old pope, beset by ail­ ments in recent years, walked slow ly in the West African heat — around 100 degrees — and 95-percent humid­ ity. He looked tired, but smiled and waved to the crowd. The crowd sang and danced and punched fists in the air in joyous expectation of hearing words of com­ fort and inspiration. The pope did not disappoint them, continuing his strong advocacy of human rights. John Paul set down his agenda immediately upon arriving in Nige­ ria, first in an address at the airport welcoming ceremony and then in a meeting with Nigerian leader Gen. Sard Abacha. Vatican officials pressed for the release of some 60 prominent Nigeri­ ans — leading political opponents and journalists, hoping the govern­ ment would show some leniency, as happened in Cuba, where Fidel Cas­ tro released 299 prisoners after the pontiffs January visit. Abacha spokesman David Attah said Sunday that he could not com­ ment on the release request, but papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said Nigerian officials had agreed to consider it. The pope's second trip to Nigeria brings him to a country different from the land flush with oil revenue that he visited in 1982. Nigeria is mired in crime and tension and faces interna­ tional scorn over its dismal human rights record. Arafat’s political excursions leave daughter, wife to deal with absence GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Yasser Arafat travels so much that his 2 1 / 2-year-old daughter Zahwa says "Papa" when she sees an airplane and "Goodbye" when she sees him. "I want her to live a normal life," the Palestinian leader's wife Soha told The Associated Press Sunday. "I try to be a mother and father to my daughter — it's not easy." Mrs. Arafat, stylish in a black vel­ vet, striped pantsuit, spoke openly about her daughter, her husband and the peace with Israel in an exclu­ sive interview at the family's spa­ cious two-story home a few blocks from the Mediterranean Sea, sur­ rounded by the bustle of Gaza City. The house is filled with pictures — Arafat in fatigues, Arafat with an automatic rifle, Arafat and the Pope, Arafat and Clinton, Soha with Hillary Rodham Clinton and Tipper Gore, and baby pictures of Zahwa. A series of black-and-white pho­ tographs on die wall behind the red- and-gold-striped living room couch gives a rare glimpse of Arafat as a young man. In one, he is dapper in a pinstriped suit, dark hair parted at the side; in another, he has the air of a camp counselor in Bermuda shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. Zahwa's bronzed baby shoes have a place of honor, and an exercise machine, a wide-screen television and a pile of remote controls suggest the startling notion that the Arafats — when they're at home — might be regular people. But Yasser Arafat is rarely at home. When he is not traveling in the Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank or overseas, he often rises before his daughter brakes up and returns after she goes to sleep, his wife said. She sometimes sends Zahwa to Arafat's office or keeps the child up past midnight so she can see her father, a notorious night owl. "I don't have a family life," the 34- year-old Mrs. Arafat admitted. "But I chose this life. I knew it was going to be like this, and I accepted it. I'm proud of him." As much as she would like him to, Mrs. Arafat said she does not see her husband, who is 68, ever retiring. And she dism issed the persistent rum ors that his health is failing, brushing them off as Israeli propa­ ganda. "T o u ch w ood — he is in very good health," she said. "So what if the mouth is trembling from stress? So what? So what?" Nor is Arafat depressed, despite the discouraging political situation, she said firmly. "H e is n ev er d ep ressed . He believes in destiny, and he believes so m uch in God. I envy him . He believes that this is his mission — he has to go on with it." In her husband's absence, Mrs. Arafat has developed a public life of her own. Touched by the line of sup­ plicants that forms each day outside her house, she has opened institutes for sick and disabled children in the West Bank and Gaza. "We have inherited a lot of prob­ lems, and we are not doing enough," she said softly. "The Palestinian Authority is not doing enough." Her passion for making social and economic improvements stems from her pessimism about the peace with Israel, she said. "We have to begin very, very seri­ ously to take care of our people — because I think there is no political solution," she said. "We are just passing time. They are just fooling us." Asked what she will tell Zahwa about Israel and the peace, Mrs. Arafat said she will make sure her daughter knows the history of the Palestinians and how to stand up for her people's rights. "I would not tell her to hate Jews — never," she said. "A nd I will teach her to differentiate between the Jews and the Israelis, because the Jewish people have suffered." But Mrs. Arafat said she doesn't know what she will teach her daughter about peace, because "I don't know if there is peace to tell her about." , Zahwa's squeals emanate from behind a sliding wooden door lead­ ing to the family's private quarters, and Mrs. Arafat takes a reporter and camera crew down a hall decorated with drawings, and more pho­ tographs to meet her daughter. Zahwa, however, will have none of it. The little girl, her dark ponytail tied with a yellow bow, responds to her mother and nanny's entreaties in French and Arabic by running down the hall into her nursery stuffed with dolls and toys and hiding behind her crib. c Has God Called You to Ministry?

Surprisingly, Kim Gordon played guitar for all but the last two songs. The set was very trancy, and in large part instrumental. The songs seemed to pick up where the trander parts of Washing Machine left off. An early winner was the dense "Hits of Sun­ shine," the next-to-last song of die set. During "Hits," they truly achieved that shimmering sound of beautiful noise that only they are capable of creating. This was a no-lose situation for all parties involved. The record people were happy, because they get to tell their friends they were at an exdusive pre-party hosted by CDNow (at which Supernova played, for the record). Wristband buyers were happy, because they knew they got their money's worth by the second day of the festival. The real non- wristband-buying fans were happy, because those that showed up a cou- Ele of hours early got in. Geffen was appy, because they will receive more press on one of their larger upcoming album releases of die year. The La Zona Rosa management is happy, because of the exposure the gig brought. And last but certainly not least, Thurston, Kim, Lee and Steve are happy, because they got to hang out for a few days and received a sub­ stantial payoff. But really, they wouldn't have played if they didn't really want to. —Michael Chanty NOELLA HUTTON, Saturday, The Library — Dressed head to toe in camouflage, hiking boots, a bargain cowboy hat from Fort Worth, cropped dyed-blonde hair and a gen­ erous supply of wit, Ireland's Noella Hutton managed to charm the audi­ ence with her biting sarcasm while still prompting people to purchase her album between every song. Com­ parable to countrywoman Eleanor McEvoy with her stage presence and singing style, she belted out songs suouas "Just Unusual To Be Happy" and "Breathe" with striking passion. She has that acoustic folk-punk qaáli- ty that makes Ani Difranco endearing to so many American audiences, with an equal intensity, but less of the social commentary. —Arabella Clauson NASHVILLE PUSSY, Friday, Emo' s— Like some moonshine- fueled, hayseed version of Motor- head, Nashville Pussy tore into their second Emo's show of the month with hot-rodded venom, crashing the gates with music that's best described as the perfect accompaniment for a meal of mashed methamphetamines and gravy. Definitely the best band ever inspired to perform after listen­ ing to Ted Nugent. —Heath Shelby ARAB STRAP, Friday, Electric Lounge — Matador elected to display some of their newer acts this year, rather than bringing in standbys like Yo La Tengo and Guided by Voices. Solex, who opened the show, and Cornelius, who played later, had both generated some attention prior to the show. Arab Strap, though, emerged as the real winners of the showcase. The Scottish quartet takes some­ what of a minimalist approach to its music, infusing a tension into its songs that is made even more pro­ nounced by the highly personal, half- spoken vocals of Aidan Millen. His vocals are an articulation of the bitter reflection of one drowning his sor­ rows after a broken relationship. The tension then culminates in sud­ den bursts of fuzz, backed by a sim­ ple, yet powerful bass groove. The set ended with Millen sitting down, his back to the crowd, while the rest of the band grooved on one bassline for 10 powerful minutes. —M.C. HARVEY SID FISHER, Wednes­ day, Waterloo Brewing Co. — What a kickoff. Fisher is probably familiar to regular watchers of The Daily Show as the guy who sings Zodiac- themed songs over incredibly cheezy synth music. In his home­ town of L.A. he's a quaint treasure. Live, he relied on his surprisingly good acoustic guitar playing and cheeky lyrics to win over tfie crowd. Backed by a pair of novice singer/dancers, Fisher performed a medley of fight songs (done as a duet), Zodiac numbers and the crowd-pleasing "I Want Sex." — J.S.D. So my editor tells me I should write about the panels and the trade show, you know, the stuff you pay the big bucks for. Let me tell you, you're not missing much. I skipped the panels this year (I nave a real job), so maybe I'm not completely qualified to say this, but they're really only for jour­ nalists, band members, man­ agers and record execs. Besides the ones featuring musicians, the panels are pre­ dominantly biz-oriented. Don't get me wrong — many of these panels offer great advice to struggling bands — but to the average fan, con­ tract law is fairly dry. Of course, the panel featuring Billy Bragg, Robyn Hitch­ cock, Kathy Mattea, Jerry Jeff Walker and Roddy Bottum was probably the one panel worth seeing. But you can't win 'em all. The trade show was a bust this year. Of course, I rate the success of it by the amount of free crap (commonly known as swag) I scored. The official SXSW goodie bag had a nice design this year, a full-color picture of Chef from South Park done by co-creator Trey Parker. Within was the usual assortment of music mags, crappy compilation CDs and a real gem in the Bio-Box cas­ sette boxes for people too lazy to make tHeir own. On the exhibitor side, candy was the popular, if boring giveaway. Another popular one was free ciga­ rettes. Props to the Japanese band booth, one of three that offered pocky, a fantas­ tic Japanese treat. The Knit­ ting Factory had the best booth, show casing their label and club. Every day they had performers back in New York doing an interac­ tive set with someone at their booth. A Friday show with Kramer playing guitar at the convention center with ex-King Missile singer Jon S. Hall at the Knitting Factory studios in New York was something to see. With the decreasing prof­ its of the record industry, it would seem that everyone's pulling back on the free T- shirts, pens and coozies. Even glorious beverage company Odwalla was only fronting to the performers on the day stage. Speaking of which, missing out on the day stage was the only real loss for the average fan. The stage featured inti­ mate performances by Robyn Hitchcock, Sally Timms and Jon Langford (who took the award for most appearances this year with, by our count, five), Don Walser and John Doe, among others. — John St. Denis, Daily Texan Staff Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth unveiled new material Thursday night at La Zona Rosa. The legendary band, which proved to be the biggest draw of the festival, easily filled the venue. Additionally, hundreds of fans worn turned away at the door. Erin Millnr/DAILY TEXAN STAFF SPOON, Wednesday, Liberty Lunch — The last half of the Austin band Spoon's show was great, but then when have they ever sucked? Showcasing songs off their new album due in May, the band also threw in some old numbers, stack­ ing up evidence of their all-our- songs-are-singles ability. —J.S.D. CORNELIUS, Friday, Electric Lounge — Already popular in his native Japan, Cornelius brought his band and live show to the fore in his performance. His new album for Matador is a dizzying collection of pop, rock, jazz and odd noises put in a blender set on frappé, but this show was rock-solid. Three gui­ tarists in matching rugby shirts riffed on guitars while the rhythm section and sequencer wailed away. Projected on a side wall was a video montage of car wrecks, kisses and numerical countdowns perfectly in sync with the music. Notably pre­ sent was Spiral Stairs of Pavement, who quietly watched a number of shows throughout the conference. -J.S.D. TRACK STAR, Friday, Electric Lounge Pavillion — Track Star hang their toes over the ledge. Their songs inevitably plunged into tur­ bulent freefall, only to land comfort­ ably in .the arms of strum-and-hum melodies. —Jay DeFoore EMOS JR. BANDS — Many of the bands at the Emo's main stage (Dwarves, Royal Trux, God Bullies, Tribe 8) proved to be more style than substance. As a result, a large part of the crowd shifted to the other room to jig to high-energy punk acts such as the Murder City Devils, Turbonegro, Gaunt, the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs and the Demonics. —M.C. DANIEL JOHNSTON, Wednes­ day, Electric Lounge — Johnston making a live appearance is such a rarity these days that even the locals were mindful of the privilege of see­ ing the gifted songwriter. Perform­ ing a mix of old, new and cover songs (his beloved Beatles and the Monkees), Johnston was a little ner­ vous throughout. His charm was intact though, as he bantered with the crowd (including Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo of Sonic Youth) and belted out "Casper the Friendly Ghost" and other soon-to- be classics. —J.S.D. PROPELLERHEADS, Friday, La Zona Rosa — Jonathan Fire Eater and Self prepped the crowd for the real stars. English duo Propeller- heads blew the roof off the house. Two turntables, a drum set, a guitar and one bad-ass beatboxer threw everyone into a frenzy. These guys are a must-see live. — Karina Dominguez TRIBE 8, Wednesday, Emo's A topless, strap-on-wearing lesbian ruled the night. Lynn Breedlove, and her chick crew can rock, but this wasn't chick-rock, it was punk-rock. And these "womyn" can get down and dirty with the filthiest of them. —K.D. CUT CHEMIST, Thursday, Twist — One of the best DJs from L.A/s under­ ground hip-hop scene, Cut Chemist brought his crates and decks to the Twist for a set full of surprises. The Chemist ran through an abbreviated version of his hit "Lesson No. 6," plus a track from his Jurassic Five group. The torrential downpour of beats filled the dance floor with fluid bodies. The sped- up hip-hop did run a little dry, but was spiced up with interesting cuts and scratches. The metronomic beat from Laurie Anderson's "Oh, Superman" brought the set to a dose. How's that foredectic? —J.D. BUFFALO DAUGHTER, Saturday, Liberty Lunch — Spanning Stereolab and Blues Explosion, this Tokyo quartet comes across like an explosion of sonic textures. They play drones that are not boring and push boundaries without being abrasive. In perhaps the best show of the week, Buffalo Daughter pointed to new directions in rock. —J.D.

Erin Millnr/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Festival redefines independent filmmaking ¡K mwS hSmi Daily Texan Staff "Independent film is dead, but independent film m aking has never been more alive," explained Emanuel Levy, SXSW film pan­ elist and film critic for Variety magazine. Levy summarized the spectrum of "independent" films offered by the fifth annual SXSW festival, ranging from virtually unrecog­ nized films made on shoestring budgets to studio-backed projects cm the fringe. To raise funds for aspiring directors like the ones competing in the festival, Austin Film Society founder Richard Linklater chose to premiere his new film, The Newton Boys, at this year's festival. The Newton Boys is what you might call a Texas movie. Filmed .in Texas with a predominantly ' Texan cast and crew, the film Im m ortalizes legendary brothers from Uvalde, Texas, who sobbed 80 banks and several trains laxly in the 20th century. The most ^successful bank robbers in Ameri- ~ca, the brothers stole millions of -dollars during their explosive four apses. Not quite the typical opening hometown premiere had a distinct local flavor. Missing from the event were the limousines, tuxedos and fancy dresses you might expect from a Hollywood gala. Instead, the stars showed up in front of the crowded Paramount Theater in vintage autos. Grinning from behind the wheel of a classic Studebaker, Newton Boys star Matthew McConaughey (Willis Newton) pulled up in front of an excited crowd of fans gath­ ered at the theater. Like his co- stars, who arrived later in their own antique cars, McConaughey showed up wearing jeans, boots and a leather jacket. After acknowledging his fans, McConaughey proceeded to greet the mix of press and paparazzi gathered near the theater doors. Also attending the prem iere, Ethan Hawke, Dwight Yoakam, Julianna Margulies and Linklater looked equally comfortable. the In a festival panel before the screening, Newton Boys writers Clark W alker and Linklater explained film 's origin. Claude Stanush, who collaborated on the script, interviewed Willis Newton before his death, using his firsthand accounts as the sto­ ry's backbone. The Newton Boys is the first big- budget film for Linklater, who made his breakthrough in inde­ pendent film with Slacker. In a way, the film represents the possi­ bilities that commercial recogni­ tion could offer for the scores of up-and-coming filmmakers com­ peting in SXSW. While The Newton Boys doubled as a fund-raiser for independent film in Texas, it upstaged a few SXSW gems in the process. After accepting The Silver Armadillo for Burn Me in Kern County, Julien Nitzberg made sure to thank the organizers for sched­ uling his film against 20th Century Fox's Lone Star epic. Further contrasting the Newton craze, Men Cry Bullets is an osten­ sibly feminist film strongly influ­ enced by the work of both John Waters and Russ Meyer. What first seems like a cinematic oxymoron is in fact a tightly conceived film worthy of first prize in this year's narrative competition. Billy (Steven Nelson) is a bud­ ding female impersonator; Gloria (Honey Lauren) is a belligerent writer who arm-wrestles on the side. The two begin an abusive relationship after Gloria rudely interrupts Billy's debut perfor­ mance. B illy 's tortured sub­ servience perfectly fits Gloria's sadistic dominance, but flashbacks to his traumatic childhood keep him from totally giving in. The mayhem escalates when the couple becomes involved in a jagged love triangle with Gloria's odiously perfect, adoring cousin. Inevitably, Billy and G loria's amour fou culm inates with the same unrestrained violence that characterizes their relationship. W riter/director Tamara Her­ nandez's tale of transgendered love succeeds in being simultane­ ously outrageous and touching. The film achieves a precious bal­ ance between shock and pathos, avoiding the overindulgences of other offbeat movies which ulti­ mately lean toward one or the other. Men Cry Bullets transcends its own eccentricity to reach a vivid — if exacerbated — repre­ sentation of romantic relation­ ships, transgendered or otherwise. Winner for best documentary and perhaps the most artful film in the festival, Jacki Ochs' Letters Not About Love explores five years correspondence of w ritten between two poets, American Lyn Hejinian and Ukranian Arkadii Dragomoshchenko. Divided into several movements, the film is beautifully and simply structured. At the start of each movement a particular word appears in both Engjiah and Russian. The sound­ track is then filled by the poets' SXSW/Pags 15 nu 1 *■ ■ N * r M ng^D AILY TEXAN STAFF Disses: Some bands didn’t live Up to the hype Ckxitlnuecf from page 14 Disses These are die bands that did not live up to expectations, in some cases wasting their time and everybody else's time.

Dan "The Autom ator" N akam ura and Prince Paul, foe production masters behind Dr. Octagon and De La Soul, respectively, were there to promote Tommy Boy's rock acts. Their brief DJ sessions were restricted to foe set-up time between the bands, and more than once they had to compete with piercing sound checks. The eclectic Nakamura spun wax from Gang Starr and Bjork, but kept his scratch-and- cut high jinks to a minimum. The beats rarely overlapped, and foe tame set showed nothing of foe expertise exhibited by master tumtablists. My message to the Tommy Boy executives: Forgot the rock — stay with hip-hop! —J.D.

JOSH WINK, Saturday, Austin Music Hall — To be in the same city with this man is an honor in itself. To be in his presence is a silver lining. Unfortunately, the man did not deliv­ er.

CALEXICO, Thursday, Copper Tank M ain Room — On record, Calexico's charm lies in its laid-back approach to border-flavored, rustic music. On stage, the group's laconic nature proved somewhat of a bore. W ith only tw o perform ers (Joey Bums and John Convertino) on-stage for foe bulk of their 40-minute perfor­ mance, the group's sparse delivery came off lackadaisical, almost disin­ terested. —H.S.

The guitarist comes out completely nude, w ith the exception of a wrestling mask. They crank out three quick songs, which sound completely muddy and altogether bad, and then foe band splits, presumably because they were too screwed up to play or something. Give me a break. — M.C.
