Kent Lietzau, chief of staff for McK- insey & Co., a management consulting firm providing pro bono assistance to the commission, said the investigators are working aggressively to meet the deadline but added that will be diffi­ cult if they face circumstances that require more time. Lietzau said engineering analysis may be burdened by data quality or availability, adding that the teams have not concluded how long the remaining 250 interviews will take to complete. "Because w e are doing research work, it's difficult to plan for future findings," he said. "Some of those schedules are harder to ascertain, but we have taken a good stab at it, and we are learning as we go." John Weese, facilitator for the com­ mission, said the goal is to adequately investigate, even if the commission needs more time. "Obviously, people wish things could m ove quicker, but w hat is important is that the work is being done well," Weese said, adding that the future of Bonfire has not yet been discussed. The commission divided the $1 mil­ lion budget betw een the research teams based on resource requirement and investigation priorities, but Liet­ zau said investigators may need addi­ tional money to continue the process and to fund any unexpected obstacles in the investigation. "Bare essential work plans have been assumed by the teams, and the estimates they submitted exceed the allocated money," he said. "But the teams are working hard to stay within the current plans." According to the Bonfire Commis­ sion's weekly update, the investigation and analysis process, which includes assembling resources and investigat­ ing elements such as the wood used in the 1999 Bonfire, is 20 percent com­ plete. Fay Engineering, the firm investigat­ ing Bonfire's historical design, has con­ ducted a rope analysis, and has com­ pleted historical photograph and design research. "They are looking at the pictures of the Bonfire from 1928 to the present to look at historical design and see what they can ascertain to get a better sense B O N F IR E / P a g e 2 Tensions rise in Middle East PUF; construction top regent agenda Kathryn A.

Since Jan. 25, the University has blocked access to the Web site for most computers on campus due to delays it was causing in Internet access. Bill Bard, deputy director of Academ­ ic Computing and Instructional Tech­ nology Services, said ACITS noticed very heavy traffic between the campus and the Web address. As a result, Inter­ net access for the rest of the campus had slowed down. * "We're not in the business of blocking ates," said Bard, also director of the UT System's Office of Telecommunications Services.

AS S O C IA T ED PRESS Conflict escalates on Israeli-Lebanese border Asso cia ted Press KIRYAT SHEMONA, Israel — Tens of thousands of Israelis living near the Lebanon border huddled in underground shelters or fled south out of rocket range Tuesday, fearing reprisals by Lebanese guerrillas for the heaviest Israeli bom­ bardm ent in eight months. Prime Minister Ehud Barak ordered a military state of emergency along the northern border, a sign that Israel was preparing for extended fighting. Hezbol­ lah guerrillas on Tuesday killed an Israeli soldier — the sixth in tw o weeks — only hours after Israeli airstrikes cut electricity across parts of Lebanon. "In all that is connected with the pro­ tection of our people, our settlements and our soldiers, w e will do everything required," Barak told residents of Kiryat Shemona who had spent the night in shel­ ters. In its second straight night of attacks, Israel's air force struck Hezbollah offices late Tuesday in the coastal city of Tyre and the guerrilla stronghold of Iqlim al-Tuffah, 40 miles southeast of Beirut, Lebanese security officials said. At least two people were w ounded. The Israeli army confirmed the two attacks on Iqlim al-Tuffah but identified the other target as a Hezbollah radar sta­ tion. Israeli leaders blamed Syria for the lat­ est flare-up and said peace talks will not resume with Damascus until it ends the wave of Lebanese guerrilla attacks. Syria is the main power-broker in Lebanon, and Israel says it encourages the violence. In Washington, Lebanon's ambassador accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians in southern Lebanon and urged the Clinton administration to stop the T E N S I0 N S / P ^ g e 2 Bush wins in Delaware A s so cia te d Press WILMINGTON, Del. — Republi­ can George W.

"I expressed my government's con­ cern — grave concern — for the Israeli attacks on civilian targets and explained that these were deliberate attacks in contradiction of law and the April 19% agreement," said Ambas­ sador Farid Abboud on Tuesday. He was referring to a U.S.-brokered understanding that forbids attacks on Delaware Continued from page 1 have done better. We will go on to Michigan and South Carolina and assess the situation as things move forward," campaign manager Bill Dal Col told the AP. With all 28 precincts reporting, the Texas governor had 51 percent of the vote and McCain 25 percent, a solid victory for the national front-runner. Though far behind Bush, the Arizo­ nan did surprisingly well for a candi­ date who didn't visit or spend money in the state. B y contrast, Forbes had 20 percent after winning the state's primary in 19% and campaigning heavily in the state this year. Former ambassador Alan Keyes had just 4 percent of the vote. Democrats voted Saturday in Delaware, giving Vice President A1 Gore an easy victory over Bill Bradley. Exit polls in Delaware suggested Ericsson C F 768 or from civilian areas in southern Lebanon. Syria's state media, meanwhile, warned that the bombing could hurt the peace process. "Bombs and missiles are actually striking the already stalled peace process and destroying all prospects of peace in the region," the English- language Syria Times said. The airstrikes late Monday and early Tuesday destroyed three power stations at Jamhour near Beirut, in the northern mountains east of the port city of Tripoli and in the eastern Bekaa Valley town of Baalbek, a Hezbollah guerrilla stronghold where a base for the group also was targeted. The base remained sealed and damage could not be assessed. Fifteen civilians were wounded in Baalbek and were treated at hospitals for various injuries from broken glass, debris and shrapnel. Parts of Lebanon were left without electricity and severe rationing was imposed. The airstrikes were the harshest since a similar strafing by the outgo­ ing hard-line government, just before Barak took office in july. McCain benefited from a wave of post-New Hampshire publicity: Almost half of his supporters decid­ ed to vote for him in the week since that primary. And a quarter of his backers were new voters who didn't vote in the 1996 primary. The surveys showed Bush did best among voters who are middle class, elderly, conservative and believe he is likely to win the presidency. McCain voters tended to be affluent, well- educated and self-identified inde­ pendents and moderates who said they were looking for a candidate who stands up for what he believes. McCain's victory in New Hamp­ shire erased Bush's lead in South Car­ olina and dramatically shrunk his advantage in California, Michigan, New York and national polls, as he sought to draw new and independ­ ent voters into the GOP fold. Agenda Continued from page 1 the project will be built, and the com­ mittees do not comprise a set mem­ bership. Oxford added that the board will discuss taking an official position on the future of Texas higher education at this week's meeting. A plan presented to the board by C hancellor William Cunningham last month called for additional money both from the Legislature and the student body to bring Texas uni­ versities to the same level as other large peer universities, such as the University of California at Berkeley, over the next several years. The board has embraced the plan gener­ ally but called for further discussion. The board will consider a measure recommended by the Business Affairs and Audit Committee that, if approved, would raise the rate that PUF funds are distributed into the Available University Fund to 4.5 per­ cent, making $650 million in bonds available over the next five years. I he PUF is the $7.7 billion endow­ ment that funds various projects throughout the UT and A&M Sys­ tems; the AUF is the account where PUF money is deposited and can then be spent on those projects. Also before the board is a priori­ tized list of system-wide proposals that would earmark $401 million of that $650 million in potential bonds for 22 new construction and renova­ tion projects. The University would stand to receive $39 million to help defray the $59 million cost o f a new biological services building, needed to alleviate a space crunch in the biology depart­ ment. Additionally, the board will con­ sider revised campus master plans for the University, UT El Paso, UT Pan Am erican and UT Permian Basin. Details of the revised master plans were not available prior to the meeting Wednesday. T h u rs d a y Robby weather Geez, Robby.

Bard said the amount of traffic the site was generating could have created major problems for computer systems on campus. For example, the traffic might have interfered with research for academic goals or interrupted the pro­ cessing of electronic food cards. "The first thing we do is protect the network.... Part of our job is to do these things before problems start," Bard said. Because they were dealing with numeric addresses and not names, it was unknown which Web site was causing the problem when the decision was made to block the site, Bard said. Morgan said he wished students had been notified. "I'm bothered that they didn't tell us," Morgan said. "This is supposed to be a real liberal university. If they could block out one Web site, there is no telling what they could do." Ban! said the ACITS Help Desk had been notified and personnel were avail­ able to answer students' questions. But Morgan said he wasn't con­ vinced that blocking the site was the only option. "If there's a problem, like it's slowing down the server, maybe we need a faster server. It's a service we pay for," Morgan said. However, Bard said that the fee money only covers a specific level of service. "Once that level is exceeded, then things deteriorate for the whole cam­ pus," he said. Bard said he has submitted a research proposal to the National Science Foun­ dation that he believes could resolve the issue of system power and access on campus. Instead of one flat rate for Internet usage, fees would increase according to the amount of computer usage by a particular individual. Keyur Parekh, a computer sci­ ence/mathematics sophomore and a umnv.Napster.com user, said he under­ stands the University's decision. "I think it's going to be very benefi­ cial for the campus," Parekh said. "I can't say I'm happy about it, but it's a logical decision." Bard said decisions to cut off flow where there is heavy traffic are fre­ quently made on campus. Other universities, such as Oxford and Northwestern University, have recently taken similar steps. On Dec. 29, Northwestern University decided to block access to the site. "An increasing amount of our band­ width was being gobbled up by the Napster Web said Susan Andrews, director of communications for Northwestern's Information Tech­ nology Division. site." According to Parekh, students can still access unmv.Napster.com by setting up a proxy server off campus, which would simply reroute traffic. Bonfire Continued from page 1 of how the concept of the Bonfire should be," Lietzau said. Packer Engineering, the firm investi­ gating the 1999 Bonfire composition and design, has completed a survey of the Bonfire site, including locating evi­ dence and equipment analysis. According to the updates, Perfor­ mance Improvement International, the team investigating the 1999 Bonfire construction and organization, has assembled an interview list and has begun interviewing. "We are trying to prioritize and greatly diminish work by speaking to the least amount of people while get­ ting the most information needed," Lietzau said. "We need to be prudent with resources and time." Performance Improvement Interna­ tional's next step is to begin analysis of Bonfire guidance documents and handbooks. "Part of their work plan is to look at the actual documents and handbooks that they were using to build," Lietzau said. "One of their tasks is to review and analyze with respect to construc­ tion of the Bonfire."

Under the new plan, 7,000 tickets will be available through the Universi­ ty's ticket office when the game is played at College Station, instead of the 10,000 now made available. On the flip side, 3,000 more tickets will be available for UT fans when the game is held in Austin in order to meet growing demand. Here's the problem: Of the 10,000 (soon to be 7,000) tickets available for the away game, the University only sets aside 10 percent for students. If that percentage isn't changed, only 700 tickets will be reserved for stu­ dents, as opposed to 1,000. In comparison, A&M makes about 15 percent of its allotment available to students. As for the increase in home-game tickets, Athletics plans to offer them to the public as season tickets and make a good deal of money. If any are left, which isn't very likely, they'll be thrown to the students like scraps from the dinner table. At the very least, the athletics department should reserve 300 of the 3,000 new home game tickets for student sports package holders to ensure that students don't end up with a net loss. Or the department should increase the percentage of away-game tickets reserved for students in order to match A&M. If Dodds truly valued the student fans, he would do both. Unfortunate­ ly, given the track record of the athletics department, the chances of that happening are slim. Regardless of what Athletics does, it should be noted that the $38 season ticket upgrade to the student sports package guarantees a spot at the A&M game when i f s played in Austin. Too few students take advantage of this relatively inexpensive upgrade and then end up regretting it come Thanks­ giving weekend. Nonetheless, athletics' current plan shows a disturbing disregard for the students who might one day be alumni donors, as long as they aren't taken for granted now. SG C am paign A ltern atives They're back ... That's right, today marks the first day of official campaigning for Student Government hopefuls. Unfortunately, even those of us who acknowledge the importance of stu­ dent elections have to admit they've been getting a little boring lately. Well, we here at The Texan will have none of that — and to make things a little more interesting, we propose the following alternative ways of selecting an SG president: The Game Show: Get Regis Philbin to host a special event on the West Mall called Who wants to be SG president? Only problem: We've heard that campus activists are ''outraged'' at Philbin's long-standing involvement with Bolivian ferret hockey and are planning to shout him off the stage. Also, he might bring Kathy Lee. That would be bad. Very bad. The Steel Cage Death Match: The big bonus here is the fund-raising potential for the University. Most people would pay money — good money — to see our "student leaders" kick the crap out of each other. Have you ever seen SG president Parisa Fatehi put her vice president, Eric Opiela, in a headlock? Good stuff, man, real good stuff. The Clambake: When was the last time this university had a good, old- fashioned clambake? What the hell is a clambake, anyway? Who cares. It's got to be more interesting (and stimulating) than the average SG presiden­ tial debate. The Cellphone Talk-a-Thon: This should come easily to most "student leaders." Last one yapping away on that Nokia 252 wins. Downside: Get­ ting any of them to shut up will probably take at least four weeks. The Real World: Put all the candidates from SMART, STRIVE, SWAT, CRANK, etc. in the same apartment for six months and find out what hap^ pens when SG politicos stop being polite and start getting real.

In response to Bryan Curtis' article regarding the Confederate memorabilia, burying and cover­ ing up history will not make the fact that it hap­ pened go away. Yes, the Confederacy did have slavery, but only for four years. If we take down that memorabilia then we must take down all memorabilia pertaining to the United States; we had slavery for 90 years before it was abolished by the 13th Amendment in 1865. The Civil War and the Confederacy were not all about slavery: Lin­ coln himself favored recolonization of Africa by African Americans, his wife's family owned slaves, as did General Grant's family. Lincoln and Grant were not abolitionists. In my research with the National Park Service, we've discovered over 9,000 African Americans fought for the Confederacy. It was not a war based on race or slavery. Slavery was a horrible, horrible thing, but denying that it happened is not going to make it right. These artifacts must stay up to remind of us of the sacrifice endured and lessons learned from this tragic time. As Lincoln said in his second inaugural address "We cannot escape history." Patrick D. Mendoza History senior Importance of co-ops "Government I wanted to show my support for Brian Dupre's editorial, Internships," which appeared in The Texan last week (2/1/00). It is unfortunate the College of Liberal Arts is unable to provide more support for students seeking to do internships or co-op programs. These pro­ grams provide a chance for the student to apply what he or she has learned in the classroom, solid- ifying that knowledge far better than any home­ work assignment ever could. When looking for a job, a student's internship/co-op experience could provide the extra edge he or she needs to get hired. Several weeks ago, I was considering a co-op program for the coming fall semester with the FDIC, until my counselor told me I would have to withdraw from the University for that semester to do it. I had just assumed that a university as great as ours would have supported me in this decision. Hopefully, the College of Liberal Arts can secure more resources in the future to support students that want to do these very important and valuable programs. Nicholas D. Gilbreath Economics junior Dead presidents I haven't had much to comment on in the Daily Texan since some students have reverted to throw­ ing things on statues as an "intellectual" protest against a) statues; b) dead presidents; c) interna­ tional peacekeeping organizations; d)boredom. The University of Texas should be a hotbed of progressive and reactionary ideas, seeking the middle ground of consensus and compromise. It appears that dissenters on the UT campus resent, reject, and are hostile to views dissimilar to theirs. Secretary of State Kissinger cancels due to the hos­ tile atmosphere before he has a chance to express himself, and before students have an opportunity to listen and to learn. The place for debate is certainly on any univer­ sity campus. Fortunately, when I want to hear first-class presentations, or debates from world- class presenters, there is a nearby campus — Trin­ ity University in San Antonio. John Morgan UT Alum ‘ The Fundemental Theory of Everything Okay, you're right, everyone knows when the third millennium really begins, sure. There are many different answers to this, and for some rea­ son, everybody seems to be right. It happened a few years ago, according to many scholars. Apparently, somebody forgot to carry a 2 or something when they were figuring out when Jesus was actually bom, and they just recently According to the Chinese, we missed the changeover to the third millennium by a few thousand years. Or you can just bicker over zeros like most everyone else. A guy I work with has a great response to all of this, his Fundamental Theory of Everything: "It's all just a bunch of bullshit. The only difference is who's bullshit you are going to believe." Richard Crippen Austin resident Slammed Just exactly what does it take to get on the front page of the Sports?

Offered a choice between an establishment candidate and a reformer, the people of New Hampshire, and now the people of South Carolina, have signaled for a new direction in American politics. The UT stu­ dent population, if given the chance, would likely be no different. Indeed, if any demographic in the country yearns for a change in the character and conduct of government, it must be the disaffected young voters who have known only the "truth- twisting politics," as Sen. McCain has put it, of the Clinton-Gore administration. On February 19th, John McCain will win the South Carolina primary. When he does, every other state holding a primary will become a bat­ tleground for the future of American presidential politics. Texas, despite being George W. Bush's home turf, will be no exception. Texas Students for McCain is committed to mobilizing student support for the only candidate in the 2000 race, Democrat or Republican, who can transform our attitudes toward national politics. Sen. McCain's honesty and integrity offers to those of us alienat­ ed by the Clinton-Gore mode of politics a reason to take part in a cause larger than ourselves. The first general meeting of Texas Students for McCain is Thursday at 3:00, at the Law School in Room 2.140. We welcome all members of the UT community who are interested in Sen. McCain's groundbreaking presidential campaign. Please visit our website at http://clubs.yahoo.com / clubs / texasstudentsformccain, or email us at texas_students_for_mccain@yahoo.com. Humphreys McGee Second year law student Texas Students for McCain Kissinger the Warrior One of the most heroic endeavors that our great nation ever undertook was the destruction of Nazi Germany, and all of its murderous policies. Was FDR a war criminal? Hell no, and neither was the veteran statesman who was browbeaten into canceling his appearance here at UT. The Cold War, though an undeclared one, was waged against an enemy as insidious as Nazi Ger­ many, and included many battlegrounds and ter­ rible casualties. Many lives were lost once more, in a struggle to destroy Marxism and Bolshevism in unfortunate nations across the globe. Can we not presume that Henry Kissinger took into account not only the fact that communism is an unfair, undemocratic system, but also that it was responsible for a great deal more death and mis­ ery than the Third Reich (a regime of which Mr. Kissinger himself had nearly become a victim)? Some claim that a communist regime in any given nation would have been preferable to a U.S.-sup- ported dictatorship. Unambiguous proof of com­ munist mass murder in already-afflicted nations, however, shows that this was not and is still not a likely conclusion. As an American liberal who despises imperial­ ism, I am damned proud of the fact that our nation fought Hitler and destroyed him (though I regret our failure to finish off the Soviet Union in 1945). I am just as proud of Henry Kissinger's efforts to check the advance of communism, the inherently foreign ideology that had successfully subverted so many nations and seduced so many "intellectuals." With Marxist barbarism having destroyed tens of millions of totally innocent lives by the time Mr. Kissinger took office, it is dis­ graceful to hear this great American warrior referred to as a "war criminal." Communism is as repulsive and rotten an ideology as is Nazism, and I will be forever glad that Dr. Kissinger treat­ ed it accordingly. Daniel McGettrick Government junior Middleton, Faulkner and Cunningham There is no doubt that Middleton, Faulkner, and Cunningham all lied about the threat of violence at the Kissinger lecture. Not only did they lie, they created an image, with plenty of help from the local press, of RAN and other dissident organiza­ tions as possibly violent troublemakers in the minds of students and citizens. Now they play dumb and thaf s all there is to it? I demand a pub­ lic apology from all three men for slandering these organizations, and I demand that the local press stop simply following the official line, level the playing field and give minority and/or dissident groups a fair chance to speak on their positions, especially in situations like this. Chris Phlegar Austin resident Fall of the Democratic Party I would just like to say thank you to Jacob Wit- tig (Firing Line, 2 /4 /0 0 ) for such an intelligent column that truly gets to the crux of the Kissinger issue. I applaud this open-minded Democrat. Whereas the Democratic Party used to champion "peace, love, recycle," unfortunately, somehow the emotional side of the party has gone from love to anger and hate and degenerated into angry bands of interest groups that blindly further their causes. I have found many of these people to be close-minded and will hate for just trying to dis­ agree with them. What these groups, Bob Jensen and the students in RAN will never realize is that they really serve the "evil capitalist system" they intend to break. When they organize protests of anger, hate and mob mentality, like the one for Kissinger, they radicalize their sometimes legitimate causes and alienate the people they should be trying reach. Obviously this tactic of alienating people is quite effective; 35 out of 50 states have Republican gov­ ernors, there is a Republican majority in the House and Senate and a Republican will be elect­ ed to be president next year. If only you changed your bitter protest against Kissinger into a rally for wider public disclosure and participation in foreign policy. What about hosting a debate called Kissinger: hero or criminal?" or passing out pamphlets? There are many things that could have been done to formulate constructive criti­ cisms of Kissinger or educated people about their concerns. I challenge the puppet master of most of these protests, Bob Jensen, a man I know to be very rea­ sonable and intelligent, to take these steps to include others, maybe even those who disagree with him, in their radical actions. Unfortunately I'm sure the RAN will accept no responsibility for the cancellation, and they probably truly believe that people would prefer to listen to a room full of screaming protesters instead of Kissinger's speech.

Duke Jr., UT associate professor of architecture and longtime UT Longhorn, who passed away after suffering a heart attack. Duke, 61, who died Feb. 3, was known for his environmentally sensi­ tive architectural designs long before they became fashionable. At the University, he taught gentle architecture, a method of design that strives to achieve harmony between the environment and its habitants. His research focused on the environment and energy concerns as they relate to architecture. Duke received his bachelor of archi­ tecture degree from the University in 1962. He spent the 60s and 70s first pre­ siding over his own architecture ant1 consulting firm, and later with the Ben ham Group, a national architectural firm. He returned to the University in 1981 to teach. Andrew Vemooy, associate dean for graduate architecture programs, said Duke was an amiable person. "He was always here very early. I'm going to miss him because I saw him first thing every morning," Vermx)}' said. "It's a shock to all of us that he died." Vemooy added that Duke was look ing forward to teaching an environmen­ tal theory class in Fall 2000. Duke won several awards, including first place in a competition for design or an energy-efficient office building in California, and was also listed in Who's Who among America's Teacheis in 1998. Sorber to resign from UT Permian Basin presidency Robert Mayer Daily Texan Staff Charles A. Sorber announced Tues­ day that he will resign as president of the University of Texas of the Permian Basin to resume teaching at the Univer­ sity campus in Austin. Sorber said he feels that he accom­ plished his goals during his eight-year tenure at the Odessa campus. It has been an honor to work with this outstanding region," Sorber said. "But I do look forward to returning to Austin." Sorber worked at the University between 1980 and 1986 and served as associate dean of the College of Engi­ neering and director of the Engineering Science Program. He has maintained his tenure at the University. I feel that Austin is my home," Sor­ ber said. Edwin Sharpe, executive vice chan­ cellor for academic affairs, credits Sor­ ber for the progress made at UT Permi­ an Basin. Under Sorber's leadership, the 2,2(X)- student university developed a new visual arts studio facility and a new library and lecture center, and contin­ ued to expand their freshman and sophomore programs. Initially offering classes for juniors and seniors only, UT Permian Basip added lower-division classes in 1991. UT Permian Basin has made great strides in its ability to serve Odessa, Midland and the surrounding region," « Sharpe said in a statement. The UT System Board of Regents wi I! form a search committee this spring oi summer to aid in the replacement of Sorber. The advisory committee will include, among others, faculty, students and alumni from the UT System. Prior to his UT Permian Basin presi­ dency, Sorber served seven years as dean of the School of Engineering and professor of civil engineering at the Uni­ versity of Pittsburgh. Sorber will step down by Mav 30 2001. , T r . in fUC ♦ s e n ; e,e5tncal engineering freshman, tosses a Frisbee at sunset Tuesday ron o the Tower.

UTEP’s Natalicio appointed to president’s committee on arts Patrick Badgley Daily Texan Staff President Bill Clinton appointed Diana Natalicio, president of the University of Texas at El Paso, to the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, which advises Clinton on promoting private-sec- tor support for the arts and human­ ities. Natalicio, who has served on sev­ eral state and national commissions, said she is not sure when she will become active in the Washington- based, 45-m em ber group, but said she appreciates being appointed to the committee. "I'm always honored when I'm invited to participate on a board or com m ittee," N atalicio said. "It's especially an honor to be appointed by the president o f the United States." Natalicio is currently vice chair of the National Science Board, which advises the president and Congress on science policy, and serves on the board of the National Action Coun­ cil for M inorities in Engineering, a nonprofit organization whose mis­ sion is to increase the num ber of minorities in the engineering field. Although she has served in other committees, N atalicio said she will observe current members of the arts committee in order to learn effective ways to accomplish the committee's goals. The com m ittee works to draw attention to the arts through projects, publications and meetings. "It would be a little premature to say now how I plan to enhance interest in those things," she said. "The first thing I'll do is learn how the committee does its work." Edward M cBride, acting deputy director of the President's Com m it­ tee on the Arts and the Humanities, said he is excited to have the oppor­ tunity to work with Natalicio. The committee looks forward to working with her in the future to strengthen and bolster the public interest of the arts and humanities in our everyday lives," M cBride said. Natalicio said the position she is taking is a "part-tim e jo b" and she will continue as UTEP president, a position she has held since 1988.

February 1 0 , 2 0 0 0 from 1 1A - 2P The Student Union Building When: Where: STATE & LOCAL City council soon to have new face Ashley Kosiewicz Daily Texan Staff Two candidates eager to fill the shoes of Councilman Gus Garcia for­ mally announced their candidacy Tuesday for the Place 2 seat in the upcoming city elections. advocate Attorney Rafael Quintanilla and environmental Raul Alvarez said they will restore a work­ ing relationship between neighbor­ hoods and city entities. The candi­ dates also said they will support dty- wide interests such as light rail and the approval of a single member dis­ trict system for the election of city council members. The race, to be decided in May, will guarantee a new face on the city council, as Garcia announced last October that he would not run for re- election. Quintanilla said respect is one fun­ damental principle around which his campaign will revolve. "In my mind, the City of Austin needs to function with several princi­ ples of respect for individuals and neighborhoods, as well as its own employees," Quintanilla said. A 1967 UT graduate and 1974 UT law school graduate, Quintanilla cur­ rently serves on the Austin Commu­ nity College Board. He has held posi­ tions with the dty planning commis­ sion, and from 1983 to 1986 he was executive director of the Texas Department of Housing and Com­ munity Affairs. Quintanilla said his experience as a self-employed businessman gives him a better understanding of Austin's growing equity problem. "As a small-business person, I have done some work with state agendes and the dty itself, and I can understand some of the frustrations of small business, particular minority bus mess," Quintanilla said. Quintanilla added that one of his first priorities would be to simplify the process by which small business­ es run by minorities receive offidal certification as a minority business. Certified minority businesses are eli­ gible to take part in dty procurement projects. The coordinators of these projects aim to contract with minori­ ty businesses. Quintanilla said the cumbersome certification process requires that Broadband Andrew Loehman/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Rafael Quintanilla, right, shakes the hand of a supporter during a gathering at Serranos at Symphony Square. Quintanilla is running against Raul Alvarez for the Place 2 spot that is being vacated by City Council member Gus Garcia. small business get separate certifica­ tions from the dty, Capital Metro and the state. Quintanilla will meet opposition from Alvarez, a Stanford University graduate. Alvarez is the environmen­ tal justice director for the state chap­ ter of the Sierra Club and served on Mayor Kirk Watson's 1998 Mobility ' Task Force, which addressed trans­ portation problems. Alvarez said environmental goals should be explidtly linked to improv­ ing transportation flow. He added that constructing a light rail system is a cost-justified way to address problems that have led to the dty's impending "non-attainment" standing, without sabotaging fund­ ing for other road improvements. "We're going to have to do a lot of things to alleviate the traffic situation and if rail can do that to any degree, to a significant degree, it's certainly justifiable, since it doesn't take away at all from any funding for making road improvements," Alvarez said, adding that any light rail project must be sensitive to neighborhood impacts. Alvarez, Quintanilla and former city employee Gloria Mata Penning­ ton will compete for the Place 2 seat. Pennington, who recently entered the race, has not formally announced her candidacy. Texas launches effort to preserve old documents Joel Giorgio Daily Texan Staff Texas Land Commissioner David Dewhurst announced a plan Tuesday to preserve more than 1,000 state docu­ ments and maps, some dating as far back as the 1700s, when Texas was part of Spain. The documents and maps, which contain information about land grants and include hand-drawings of the state's earliest settlement colonies, are crumbling due to add in the paper that was once used as a preservative, Dewhurst said at a press conference at the Texas General Land Office Tuesday, where all documents are housed. "Until the 1950s, very little was done to shield valuable historical documents from deterioration, and some of the early unsophisticated repair attempts on maps hurt them instead of helping," Dewhurst said in a statement. The first 400 documents restored will cost $500,000, but the entire program will eventually cost millions, Dewhurst said. Conservators will remove the add and then re-piece the documents, which will be stored in plastic sleeves, said Elna Christopher, director of out­ reach programs for the land office. Once restored, the maps will be scanned and placed on the Internet, she added. The restored maps will be used pri­ marily by professional surveyors, lawyers and other members of the pri­ vate sector to settle land disputes. The land office is accepting dona­ tions to fund the projed. "From the Panhandle to the coast, we encourage Texans to adopt a map from their county, and take pride in part of their history," Dewhurst said. The process will vary from map-to- map depending on their condition, with costs ranging from $200 to $10,000, Christopher said. Dallas law firm Gardere & Wynne is financing the restoration of the first map of Stephen F. Austin's colonies, drawn between 1833 and 1837. The map, which is currently undergoing repairs, us considered to be one of the most historically significant maps in the land office's collection. "My law firm and I salute the contri­ bution of the surveyors of our past," said Marshall A. Doke, partner of Gardere & Wynne. The Texas Sodety of Professional Surveyors donated $15,000 to save many land grants used in their every­ day work, said Patrick A. Smith, the 80061/8 president. "The documents offer insight to the colonization and history of Texas," Smith said. Austin Academy opens training center Unemployed, underpaid given skills, prepared for future jobs Will Potter Daily Texan Staff Martias Cortinas has always wanted to take advantage of Austin's music scene and produce local bands, but he lacked the basic job skills needed to enter the market. Now Cortinas is gaining those skills through the newest Austin Academy Training Center, which offidally opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tues­ day. "I have learned more in a few weeks than I ever thought I could," said Corti­ nas, one of the first students at the new center. "The teachers are dedicated and reliable, and they make you feel confi­ dent about what you are doing." The training center, located in Geor­ gian Manor Apartments in North Austin, is the third opened by the Austin Academy, a nonprofit agency. The center will provide free training to the unemployed, disabled, government aid recipients and those who haven't received their Graduate Equivalency Degree. The programs focus on communica­ tion skills, office skills and computer training. One program, the Financial Services Training Program, is specifical­ ly designed to train students to become cashiers, tellers and bank representa- With all this offered, there’s no reason to keep that job that isn’t pay­ ing well.” — B y Ramos, Austin Academy student fives. Lynore Brown, the founder and exec­ utive director of the Austin Academy, said she's constantly adapting to the needs of businesses to better prepare students. "We found out that many people in the dty could get jobs, but couldn't move up the business ladder," she said. "So we teach them communication skills that let them deal with people and the workplace better." Brown, who has worked in the adult education field for 30 years, founded the first of three training centers five years ago. The newest center was a collabora­ tive effort between Austin Academy and the Housing Authority of the City of Austin. Georgian Manor Apartments donat­ ed the space for the center, and the housing authority will fund the utilities and various other costs. Donations from Applied Materials, United Way, the Capital of Texas Workforce Center and other businesses will cover additional expenses. Since the training center is located in a housing center, priority in enrollment will be given to residents, but other Austin residents may apply. The center has an open enrollment policy, but program officials expect to maintain an enrollment of 20-25 stu­ dents. The other training centers, locat­ ed in East and South Austin, normally enroll 30 students each. Robert Gonzalez, outreach specialist for Austin Academy, said residents are eager to land better paying jobs but need training. "We are serving a very important niche of the community," Gonzalez said. "Austin is recognized for low unemployment rates, but there are pockets within the dty where unem­ ployment is incredibly high." Elly Ramos, a current student, said she's learned a lot in only one week. "It's self-paced, but you can get as much training as you want," Ramos said. "With all this offered, there's no reason to keep that job that isn't paying well."

Michael Tunks sports@uts.cc.utexas.edu SPORTS T h e D a i l y T e x a n 7 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8,2000 higher POWER In his four years at Texas, Gabe Muoneke has established himself as a bruising forward in the paint. But while his physical force has made his game, it’s a different strength that drives him on and off the court. In his ow n name, N nadubem Gabe Muoneke finds direction. Every question answered. Every answer the same. His order, his existence, his every­ thing is rolled up into three syllables that have become the fortune cookie of his life. Nnadubem — "God guide me." That trio of words was his shepherd grow­ ing up. An argument with his parents, who are both native Nigerians, was never an argum ent because Muoneke never won. He didn't try. He only listened. "That's the rule of God," Muoneke said. "Listen to your father. Respect your mother." It will be his shepherd growing old. His lifelong dreams take a back seat to a lifelong covenant. denounce "If tomorrow the NBA told me Christianity," to Muoneke said. "I wouldn't play." And it is his shepherd now. Muoneke accepts the literal translation of the Bible. It is his truth, and he'll talk your ear off about it. One five-word ques­ tion dealing with that subject matter easily turns into a five- m i n u t e - l o n g from j response I the Texas senior. religion, ¡no doubt, is his core. But at the center of his I faith appears to something lie greater. Muoneke believes, because in the end, it seems that's his His road to happiness. Behold college basketball — Muoneke's present path to fulfillment. "I'm going to work hard at playing basketball, and I'm going to have the faith," Muoneke said. "And the last thing that is going to happen is that everything is going to be just fine." Surprised? After all, isn't this the same Gabe Muoneke that is supposedly the bad boy of the Big 12? Isn't this the same Gabe Muoneke that was once sus­ pended by head coach Rick Bames last year after turning Big Monday into Monday Night Fights, as he threw punch­ es at two different Kansas players on national television? Isn't this the same Gabe Muoneke that columnists have repeatedly referred to as a "thug," only because every other adjective they would like to use for descrip­ tive purposes isn't fit to print? This is Gabe Muoneke — big, punishing power forward Gabe Muoneke that wears the No. 3 Texas jersey — right? If you're shocked, Muoneke doesn't blame you. The 6- foot 7-inch, 250-pounder knows the perception most people have of him. He is largely responsible for creating that bad-seed persona, racking up his fair share of tech­ nical fouls and partaking in a few altercations on the court during his first three years as a Longhorn. Images stick. Muoneke understands that. And even though Oklahoma fans still hound him, Texas A&M faithful continue to heckle him and Texas Tech follow­ ers persistently harass him, Muoneke has begun to do some­ thing that is very unthug-like. He's settling down, and he's doing it on purpose. Not because he fears what some 40- year-old Sooner may think of him. He just wants to guaran­ tee that his season and his future are under his own control. "I have thought about what I do and the way I act," Muoneke said. "1 don't want to be in the position where if I don't make it, it will be because of things that don't have to do with basketball. If I don't make it, I want it to be because someone tells me I'm not tall enough or good enough. All that extracurricular stuff that every one expects me to do, I try to keep that out of everybody else's hands." So far this season, Muoneke has been nearly perfect in that MUONEKE/Page 8 Texas power forward Gabe Muoneke Nathan Lambrecht/Daily Texan Staff Women’s golf looks for repeat trip to national championships Ninth-place finish at 1999 NCAAs gives Susan Watkins’ squad a boost of confidence, veterans want to improve on last year’s run Cliff Despres Daily Texan Staff After finishing ninth at the NCAA golf tournament last year, the Texas women's golf team heads into the 2000 season look­ ing to make a bigger splash on the national scene. The 1999-2000 season marks the third- straight year that the women's golf team has finished in the top 10 of every tournament in which they have competed. During the two previous campaigns, the Longhorns erupted for 24 top-10 finishes in as many engagements. Texas, which begins the season ranked 11th, has boosted its streak to 29 events after placing 10th or better in all five fall tourna­ ments. As the fall season faded into the depths of winter, the Horns captured sixth place at the Golf World Invitational in November. Com­ petitively inactive since that event, the team has practiced intensely through the winter. "We're preparing everyday to make our weaknesses stronger and build on our strengths," Texas head coach Susan Watkins said. "We're in the best shape we've been in for a while." And with that practice time logged in, the Horns await their chance to dominate the collegiate golf scene and advance in May to Bend, Ore., site of the 2000 NCAA National Championships. "I think our team is ready to win nation­ als," said sophomore Randi Meadows, co­ captain of the team along with fellow soph­ omore Kristin Dufour. "We need to work hard the entire season to get to that point. We need to give 100 percent the entire sea­ son, not just wait until nationals to start working hard." Individually, Dufour and Meadows have paced the team in scoring. Dufour has post­ ed a team-low 74.83 strokes-per-round aver­ age through the five tournaments last fall, and also accomplished the two best individ­ ual tournament finishes for Texas so far this season. Meadows, whose 75.08 stroke average is second on the team, realizes the importance of coupling an admirable individual per­ formance with a good overall group effort. At the NCAA preview event in Septem­ ber, Meadows' sixth-place finish helped the Longhorns secure a 10th-place finish and keep their top-10 streak intact. The career- low 69 that she shot in the final round of Horns pitch past Dallas Baptist, 6-0 Damien Pierce Daily Texan Staff Cory Morris thought he had been given a sign. Texas lead-off man Tommy Nichol­ son had ripped the Dallas Baptist hurler's second pitch of the game right back at him, and the ball had hit Morris so hard in the right leg that it bounced all the way to left field. The pitcher d id n 't hit the deck in response to the whack he had just taken on his shin, but it did leave one lasting thought in his mind of what he was about to be in for. "I'm from a town that has only 700 people in it, and I was really nervous before the game because I had never seen so many people at a baseball game before," said Morris of the 3 ,5 % 9 I TEXAS BASEBALL fans in attendance at Disch-Falk Field. "So when I started things off by get­ ting hit in the leg I just thought I was going to be in for a long day." But the reality was, he wasn't really in for anything that rough. No. 14 Texas d id n 't reign over Morris (1-1) in his 5 1/3 innings of w ork the way that the pitcher feared would be forthcoming, but the Horns did do enough to come up with a 6-0 win over him and Dal­ las Baptist (2-3) on Tuesday.

A shaken Chiefs coach G unther C unningham recalled telephoning Thom as at the Miami hospital from the Pro Bowl on Sunday in Hawaii, after seeing players and fans honor­ ing Thomas by w earing his number. Thomas had not been selected for this y e a r’s game. "Derrick said, 'Coach, be strong.' He never told m e how strong I n eed ­ ed to be," C unningham said. After a game, Thomas w ould always walk across the field "w ith a smile on his face," the coach said. "Not because the Chiefs won, but because that's the way he was. And that's the wav I'll always remember him." Baseball C on t in u ed from p a g e 7 ad\'antage of the pitcher's wildness. Morris issued three of his six walks in a row in the second w’ith one out, which allowed Nicholson to bring hom e a run by just m aking contact. He grounded out to first for the sec­ ond out, but designated hitter Corv Covert scored on the play to give Texas a 1-0 edge. The H om s held that lead for most of the gam e until they finally busted out the sticks in the sixth inning. Covert led off the inning w ith a flv out to left, but Morris beaned shortstop Todd West to put a runner aboard. Dallas Baptist head coach Sam Riggle- man responded to the M orris miscue by going to his pen, despite the fact that the pitcher had only given up a run on three hits to that point. for Rigglem an, as The m ove d id n 't w orn out for the best reliever Kenny Trapp hit the first batter he faced, Chris Carmichael, to put ru n ­ ners on first and second. He then gave up tw o consecutive RBI singles to Nicholson and Mike Pumo, and just like that, Texas w as ahead 3-0. But the b le e d in g d id n 't stop there, as catcher Sam A n derson to score Nicholson, grounded o u t and Chris H o u ser follow ed him w ith a tw o-run single, giving the third basem an a team -leading five RBIs on the season. It also p u t Texas ahead for good at 6-0. "O n offense, I d id n 't think that we had a big d ay today, b u t I thought we m ade better at-bats," Texas head coach A ugie G arrido said. "We stayed w ithin the strike zone, and even though we d id n 't get as many big hits as we w ould have liked, at least w e d id n 't strike ourselves o ut like we did in som e of the earlier gam es this year." A nd it's n ot as if Texas needed a lot of offense w ith the way its pitch­ ing staff is perform ing. Six runs w as m ore than enough for starting pitcher Ryan France (1- 0) and relievers Dax Leone and Ray Clark to w’ork w ith on Tuesday, as the trio kept the Patriots off the board for the second com bined shu tout recorded by Texas this sea­ son. It is the first tim e since 1997 that the H om s have recorded tw o shu touts in a season, and this y e a r's squad has accom plished that feat in just six games. "Everyone on the pitching staff is just really confident rig h t now ," France said of a squad that has a com bined ERA of 1.61 through the first six contests. "T here's also been som e great com petition betw’een us because we see one guy go out and throw seven scoreless innings, so each of us w ant to do the sam e." France did just that, as he pitched five scoreless innings. H e on ly hopes that it is a sign of w hat is to come for the Texas pitchers. "It d o e sn 't surprise me at all that w e are doing so w’ell because w e were doing the sam e thing in the offseason," he said. "So hopefully, wre can keep doing it." w w w .co n tiki.c o m 0 8 -1 4 -9 9 t m A m m ^ ^ ^ > > B a c k p a c k i n g . mv as ss ss ss h f S l myASSSSSSS!!

University Federal f Regents bring variety of experiences to board Features Editors: Kristin Finan and Jen Pollack 1 2 T h e D a i l y T e x a n WEDNE8DM, FEBRUARY 8,2000 Editor's note: This is the second part o f a two-part series on the members o f the University o f Texas Board o f Regents. Kathryn A. Wolfe Daily Texan Staff RAUL R. ROM ERO Raul Rom ero's proudest moment as regent came last year when, on a visit to border institutions in the UT System, he participated in award­ ing degrees to students who were first generation college graduates. "It really touched me in many w ays," he said. "And I feel that we must continue to do the kinds of things that ensure that these stu­ dents continue to graduate from our system ." Romero, one of the two current regents who did not graduate from the University, is originally from Panama, where — aside from rela­ tives in California — most of his family remains. After completing his bachelor's and m aster's degrees in engineer­ the U niversity of Notre ing at Dame, Romero decided to remain in the United States, settling down in Texas in 1977 and working for a construction company. Now he owns the largest independent engi­ neering and construction firm in Houston, S&B Infastructures Ltd. R o m e r o , appointed last year by Gov. George W. Bush, said he enjoys being a regent and that the job is the most ful­ filling thing he's ever done. chair- t^e As m a n Romero board's Spe­ cial Committee on M inorities and Women, Romero is no stranger to facing m inority and challenges other disadvantaged communities — it is an issue that concerns him greatly, he said. is Romero said his main focus as a that Texas to ensure regent increases its pool of students quali­ fied to attend college, specifically with regard to minority students. The best way to ensure an increase in enrollment is to start preparing children early and strengthen advanced placement initiatives in high school, he added. Tie emphasized that students and student groups shouldn't think of regents as people who w on't listen AT A G L A N C E : UT S Y S T E M B O A R D OF R E G E N T S OFFICERS MEMBERS Donald L.

"If they let me know what their concerns are, I certainly would be an advocate and make sure that to things im prove." continue alw ays A. W . "D U B " RITER JR. As a Navy lieu tenant during World War II, "D u b " Riter was in charge of moving an entire radio and sonar base from the Pacif­ of island ic Tulagi, near G u a d a lc a n a l, to O kinaw a, Japan. A block­ ade of O ki­ nawa prevent­ ed his m is­ sion's com ple­ tion before the ended, war but R iter said he at least got a lot of reading done while waiting for the blockade to clear. Riter, who has made a career in banking, has very different respon­ sibilities now, but he still finds him ­ self reading voluminously as part of his job as a regent. "I didn't think it was going to involve near as much reading," he said. "W hen you have 15 compo­ nents it's like having 15 companies that you're managing, and it's our responsibility to read those reports and keep up." As chairm an of the Business Affairs and Audit Committee, Riter spends most of his time dealing with econom ics and money mat­ ters, for which he is uniquely quali­ fied. He has been involved in the banking industry for most of his life, and has served as director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and as vice chairman for adm inis­ tration and finance of the Texas Cham ber of Commerce. The greatest challenge facing the UT System today is m aintaining a competitive balance between all its components, Riter said. He stressed the importance of im proving lead institutions in the state, like the University and Texas A&M, as well as bolstering other com ponent uni­ versities. "A cadem ic excellence of course is key," he said. "But when you have nine [academic] com ponents you have a big responsibility there, and keeping that moving in the right direction is very, very critical to us." Riter, a regent since his appoint­ ment by Bush in 1997, said serving as a regent has been a once-in-a- lifetime experience that has taught him a lot, and though the regents aren't perfect, they are striving for improvement on a daily basis. just been a trem endous experience for me to be a part of a board that's so dedicated and con­ "W e're scientiou s," Riter said. "It's Daniel Leal / D AILY T E X A N STAFF working very hard to improve [stu­ dents'] opportunities in every way, to be sure they receive a quality education." Riter earned a degree in business administration from the University in the 1940s and has been active in civic causes, including serving on the board of directors for the Salva­ tion Army and the United Way. He has also served on several govern­ mental bodies, including the Texas Growth Fund and the Teacher Retirement System. Riter, who settled in Tyler, retired as senior chairman of the board of what is now NationsBank Texas- Tyler in 1988, and currently owns a private investment firm. TOM LOEFFLER Tom Loeffler, now settled in San Antonio, was bom in Freder­ and icksburg two earned degrees from the University, he where played football under revered coach D arrell Royal.

He also served as special assis­ tant for legislative affairs to Presi­ dent G erald Ford and principal coordinator for C entral A m erica under President Ronald Reagan.

For many years, he was better known in America as the son of the notorious cantador, Julio Iglesias. With Enrique, he looks to alter that distinction. Rel­ atively anonym ous in America, until recently, Enrique Iglesias has been recording hit albums since 1995, his self-titled debut w ent platinum in Latin America. While a member of the genre that has recently dom inated the pop airw aves, Enrique is also something more. Unlike the recent album by Ricky M artin — the famed progenitor of the invasion — Iglesias' new album doesn't come off as goofy in its composi­ tion. Enrique isn't saturated with com puter-generated beats, but w ith slow love songs. W here Ricky M artin shakes his "bon balladeer. bon," Melodies on songs like "Be With You," and "I Have Always Loved Iglesias is • You" show m ore similarities to his father than to either Ricky Martin or Marc Anthony. M ake no m istake about it, Enrique is still an album spaw ned from the recent influx of Latin music to the U.S. Yet, it does go beyond Invasion that. Latin album s have characteristic sim i­ larities in their structures. Like Marc Anthony, Iglesias recorded some of his English songs in Span­ ish, sequencing them at the end of the album. Like Ricky Martin, w ho recorded a duet w ith M adonna on his latest album, Enrique Iglesias is featured w ith a diva of Am eri­ can pop music, W hitney Houston. The songs recorded in both lan­ guages give the album an extra dimension. The Spanish guitars and uptem po beat of "Rhythm Divine," the second single, com­ plem ent Iglesias' voice in both English and the Spanish version, "Ritmo Total." Of all the Latin crossover albums, Enrique, although it is far from perfect, is the best because of its adherence to tradition. With a few more album s of increasing cal­ iber, Enrique Iglesias m ay be replacing his father in America's canon of Latin music. — Ashok Chandra W aterloo has not yet an n o un ced w hat system it w ill use to d istrib ­ ute tick ets.

On Valentine's Day, the opportunity for lame excuses in audio is much greater. "I Think I Love You" by David Cas­ sidy has the adequate levels of melody and comball appeal. It's catchy and fun, but complete creative garbage. Some others that will make your stom­ ach turn: "I Got You, Babe" by Sonny and C het "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speed wagon, "Look of Love" by Dusty Springfield, "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles, "You're The Inspiration" by Chicago, "Girls, Girls, Girls" by Motley Criie, "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany and "Master and Ser­ vant" by Depeche Mode (filed under the S&M love department). And winner, for most annoying — yet romantic — song ever is "(They Long To Be) Close To You" by The Carpenters. ■ Contem porary7 In the invasion that was punk — then new w ave — then hair m etal — then grunge — then gansta rap, love songs kind of took a backseat to the rest of the musical move­ m ents in the w orld. But good ones came and MTV helped m ake love songs som ething they had never been before. "N eed You Tonight" by INXS and "B izarre Love Triangle" by N ew O rder are tw o great new wave pop love songs that focused heavy on the synth, but also on some cre­ ative new ideas in expressing affec­ tion. In alternative rock, there are great ballads such as "I Alone" by Live, "C rash Into Me" by D ave M atthews Band and "I Will Buy You A N ew Life" by Everclear. In country, you have "The D ance" by G arth Brooks and "Always On My M ind" perform ed by Willie Nelson. Or, '80s R&B hits such as "I Just Called To Say I Love You" by Stevie W onder and "Say You, Say Me" by Lionel Richie. Indie rock and college pop had some great love songs: "W illing To Wait" by Sebadoh, "Protection" by M assive Attack and "D ebra" by Beck, to nam e a small few. Some of the best contem porary love songs can be found in rock pow erhouses lsuch as U2 ("W ith or W ithout You," "All 1 Want Is You"), R.E.M. ("The One I Love"), N eil Young ("H arvest M oon"), O asis ("Won- derw all") and Sting ("If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" or The Police's "Every Breath Take You Take"). W hat m akes a love song great? Everyone has their ow n opinion and this colum n is certainly not the last w ord on the subject. But it should m ake you think about w hat m akes a love song a love song in the first place. Does it have to be about love, or can it sim ply bring you back to a m em ory of romance? Love tries to be a personal part of life. So do all of these songs, and, like love, they only occasionally succeed at being sweet forever. Barry White continues to attract a strong audience after all these years with Valentine's-worthy songs like "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Baby." Have You" perform ed by Carly Simon and written by Kris Kristoffer- son, is one of the most passionate, heartwrenching songs about yearning ever created. have something do with some kind of love). The Rolling Stones' best love song "Let's Spend The Night Togeth­ er," was still too sexy to be performed on Ed Sullivan's show. Even The Doors wrote a love song once, "Light My Fire," and it's since been used in drug dens more than wedding halls. In the years that followed, rock bands carried the torch. The Beatles have "All You Need Is Love," "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and 'Tw o of Us," just to name a slight few in that band's catalogue (nearly all of their songs Some songs are so good, they're ■ Camp Matt Dentler Daily Texan S ta ff T he S m ash in g P u m p k in s w ill m ake an a p p ea ran ce at W aterloo Records, Sunday, Feb. 13 follow ing a p erfo rm an ce in H o u sto n earlier th at day.

Of course I looked at her, won­ dering if it was the Valentine's spirit talking. I didn't answer her right away, because it's a tough one. Nonetheless, it's an important question, and while "You Were Meant For Me" may not make anyone's list other than Jewel's, (my imaginary date), everyone has their personal favorites. In the spirit of love's (or is it lust's?) biggest shopping day of the year, here is a list of the three categories in what makes the perfect Valentine's Day song. Love songs can either be classic, contemporary, or camp. Listen to this... ■ Classic Some songs will stand the test of time. Some are perfect statements on m odem romance, but become so time­ less in their beauty, it's hard to go an entire year without listening to them. "My Funny Valentine," may be the most obvious example. It's slow, soothing and enchanting. Add Frank Sinatra to the mix, and you have a clas­ sic. Sinatra's version of Cole Porter's "Night and Day" is in the running for best love song ever. "You Do Some­ thing To Me" is another great Cole Porter tune. Check out Ella Fitzger­ ald's fiery rendition for maximum impact. The Gershwin brothers add a few great numbers to the bin of romantic longing set to music. "I Loves You, Porgy" sung by Nina Simone and "Someone To Watch Over Me" with Sarah Vaughan, are great moments in music, these songs were m ade to sound so effortless, so perfect. If you want real dassics, look no fur­ ther than Renaissance-era love songs like "Douce dame jolie" by Guillaume de Machaut (which dates back to the early 14th century). Or, look for John Dowland's "Time stands still," a song from the turn of the 17th century. These examples show that putting love (or lust) to music has been a tradi­ tion forever. Coming doser to m odem times, we have some of the greatest love songs falling under the pop music cate­ gories. There are some acts that had a virtual monopoly on broken-hearted anthems, like The Supremes w ith "You Can't H urry Love" and "Where Did O ur Love Go?" There were solo performers who not only sang songs of love, but made audiences fall for them as well. Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling In Love" still stands the test of time (and a UB40 cover) to be one of America's best contributions to the art form. Tom Jones still keeps the women coming to his shows with songs like "It's Not Unusual." Barry White has "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Baby" and Marvin Gaye is help­ ing the blue jean economy to this day with "Let's Get It On." "Let's Stay Together," A1 G reen's to "monogamy," is still helping couples stay together in 2000.

Quit kid­ ding yourself with talk and put yourself into action. There is no way around it this time. Be aware that you have no more options to toy with. Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20): Lady luck may have given you the shaft, but there is still hope. We make our own luck anyway, so stay off the gambling scene and prepare yourself to be lucky in career ventures. Gemini 20): Getting you back on track may take a Scorpio or Libra to give you the proper advice. If you have thought about calling a friend, do it. You will like what they have to say. (May 2 1 -June Cancer (June 21 -July 22): Money is a wonderful thing as long as you have it. Abusing yourself through your bank account can take the disguise of lavish gifts or excessive material items you do not need. Stick to the basics and respect everything you have. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Information you thought was classified may rear its ugly head within the next few days. Don't shy away from the truth. Even though it can be ugly, it can save you in the end. V irgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Perform ance arts are your speciality when it comes to relationships. At least your lovers think so. Try to tone down the drama and discuss problems in an adult manner in the future. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you and nature have not been cordial to one another lately, it is time to make amends. Take your Claritin and enjoy the beauty Austin has to offer. It can give you great reflection time. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you are looking for the suitable mate to make your husband or wife, you are trying too hard. Things com e when you least expect them. Make sure your focus stays where it needs to be. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The little nagging voice in your head is right. Try to do what it tells you and let it override your usual tendencies. Finances are on the up and up, so hang in there. C ap ricorn (Dec. 22-Jan . 19): Friends may become your most impor­ tant asset. Don't be afraid to rely on oth­ ers when things cannot be completed alone. Leaning on others isn’t a sign of weakness. A quarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Test results may not be what you want them to if you don't start studying harder. Put the time and effort into your schoolwork. Things may be hard, but it will com e to an end quicker than you might think. Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Don't be overly critical of others today. No one is perfect, and they may be extremely sen­ sitive to the little things you say or do. Be nice.

J - n .> Í T h e D a i l y T e x a n ’s think w e’re strange, and often just stop and stare when we roll down the street. I know what they’re thinking: “I thought they locked people like that up.” No, they don’t, but they d o n ’t do us any favors either. W hen we are together, we are com plete, fulfilled and happy as two live turkeys the day after Thanksgiving. W oman? Naw, it ain’t no woman. I ’m talking about Fran­ cis, my car. Francis is a yellow 1978 Ford Fairm ont I inherited from my great-grandmother. Francis’ windows don ’t roll down right, the em ergency brake doesn’t spring back all the way when you let it go, the heater doesn’t work, the front passenger seat carpet is ripped up, the steering belts squeal m ightily when you turn the wheel too far, there’s a big hole in the air conditioner so it can ’t ever hold Freon for more than a week and the steering is aligned about as well as my teeth were in fourth grade. Francis has several dents on the driver’s side, and I love every damn one of ’em. Francis acquired its name last summer, when one o f the valves was dropping oil onto the engine. So whenever I would push down on the accelerator a little too fast for the weakened engine’s liking, the car would grunt, groan and whinny just like a noisy mule. Then it would backfire, and people for miles would stop and pat them­ selves down to make sure they hadn’t been shot. So I called the car Francis, after the talking mule. Francis doesn’t mind be­ ing named after a mule. As a matter of fact, he kind of enjoys it. Francis and I go everywhere together. W e’ve been to Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and deep in the heart o f darkest East Texas. As we dis­ covered Texas together, we dis­ covered things about each other. I know Francis truly is a mule, because he w on’t go over 60 mph without a serious fight about it (or unless h e ’s going downhill). Francis knows to pull off the highway anytim e an Exxon or a Shell station appears on the horizon, because that means it’s tim e for us to eat. I like hot & spicy pork rinds and a 16-ounce bottle o f Big Red. Francis prefers unleaded gasoline. Francis and I have learned to adapt to our surroundings. We have to, or people will discover our true mission — to fight evil, injustice and normality everywhere. We are always on a quest for something or someone to laugh at. Some people think this makes us crazy, but I say no; it keeps us sane. And while neither o f us may be pretty by conventional stan­ dards, we more than make up for it in other ways. We have charac­ ter. We have class. We have style. And w e’re smart. And sm art'll get you a lot further in this world than looks or money or anything else except maybe sex. T hat’s one thing Francis and I d o n ’t do. But w e’re happy. W hen Francis and I are bopping along the Drag, with Hole or Wu-Tang or Wag­ ner cranked on the radio, Texas could be invaded by Oklahom a and we w ouldn’t give a damn. Someday, I may find a nice woman to settle down with, and I hope I do (soon). But I know she w on’t be the right one for me unless she can appreciate being driven around in a beat- up yellow car named after a talking mule.

But before making dinner reservations or slaving over a hot stove, co n ­ sider the advantages of the laundry date. Money is the obvious o n e.

A nd co n sid erin g th a t S p rin g B re a k is less than a m onth away, the saving is well worth it. But the issue is not ju s t the money.

With the laundry date, how ev­ er, the underwear issue is out in the open. T he w om an d o e s n ’t have to guess w hether her date is a boxer or a jockey man, and the m an can quickly d isregard all his fantasies about sexy lin­ gerie when he sees pink pajam as with bunny feet bein g th ro w n in to the wash.

And the w om an w ho c a re le s s ly to ss e s extra quarters in the dryer w ith­ out checking the load will even­ tually squander the fam ily nest egg- Perhaps the best indicator o f co m p atib ility is the o th er p e r­ son’s receptiveness to the laun­ dry date.
