Bush subpoena challenged by Comyn Emily Pyle Daily Texan Staff A tto rn e y G e n e ra l Jo h n C o m y n file d a m o tio n in T ra v is C o u n ty D istrict C ourt Thursday requesting the judge quash a subpoena calling on Gov. George W. Bush's testim ony in a w histle-blow er law suit against Service Corporation International, a funeral services company. T e x a s Eliza May, former executive direc­ to r o f th e T e x a s F u n e ra l S e r v ic e C om m ission , filed the case against th e S e r v ic e C o m m is s io n , S C I an d R o b e r t W altrip, CEO of SC I after allegedly b e in g fire d fro m h e r p o s itio n in February. F u n e ra l M ay alleges that she was fired as executive director of TFSC in retalia­ tion for her investigation as a result of influence peddling by Bush and Waltrip. Bush is not named as a defendant in the case because Texas state law prohibits legal action against a gover­ nor for activities in connection with his office. Bush is, how ever, nam ed as a conspirator in the lawsuit. The attorney general's office han­ dles all legal m atters related to the governor's official duties. "T he attorney general is the lawyer for the state," said attorney general spokesw om an Heather Browne. "W e issued a m otion that the subpoena be quashed and now it's up to the court to decide the issue." Com yn recommended the subpoe­ na be quashed because he said the gov ernor has no know led ge of the case that could not be obtained by less obtrusive means. T he recom m en d ation also states that "b e ca u se this ... d ep osition is so u g h t p u rely for th e p u rp oses of h a r a s s m e n t, th e g o v e rn o r o b je c ts to Plaintiff's depo­ s itio n n o tice and seeks to quash the deposition."

Linda Edwards, spokeswoman for Bush, said there is no reason for him to testify since he has no first-hand information about the case. th e "T h e m o tio n a sk s th e c o u rt to q u a s h s u b p o e n a b e c a u s e G o v e r n o r B u s h h a s n o p e rs o n a l know ledge of the facts of the case," Edwards said. Bush m issed his original d ep osi­ tion date Ju ly 1 w hile on the presi­ dential campaign trail in California. Bush states in a subpoena accom ­ panying the attorney general's rec­ om mendation that he has no knowl­ e d g e o f th e c a s e an d d e n ie s an y involvement. "I have had no conversation with Texas Funeral Service C om m ission officials ... concerning the investiga­ tion of SCI," Bush said. "I have never ask ed an y o n e to take a ro le or to become involved in any way in this investigation ... or given direction to anyone who might be involved in the SCI investigation or dispute." H ow ever, D erek H ow ard, M ay's lawyer in the case, said the connec­ tion between Bush's association with W altrip and M ay's firing is clear. "T h ere is a strong paper trail on this," he said. "There's no reason for [Bush] not to sit for his d ep osition like any witness in any other case." ■ H i J i Classifieds .................... 8 Comics..... .......................................10 Editorials 4 ...........................

The ab d u ction s, w hich occu rred Wednesday outside the Sierra Leone capital, Freetown, could undermine a recently signed peace agreement that ended a bloody eight-year war in the West African nation. The hostages were seized during a m e e tin g in a g rass hu t o u tsid e Freetow n, w here U.N. officials had arranged the handover of about 150 women and children captured during the war. A fter fre e in g a h an d fu l of the women and children, foe gunmen sud­ denly cocked their machine guns and turned them on the U.N. observers and o th ers assem b led to re ce iv e th e hostages, dem anding supplies and a meeting with U.N. officials. "The rebel soldiers started stripping us of our personal effects, emptying our pockets," said Giorgio Biguzzi, foe Roman Catholic bishop of the northern town of Makeni. T he sold ie rs freed B igu zzi and Jacqueline Chenard, a spokeswoman for the U.N. military observer mission, but forced the others to march into foe forest. Chenard said Thursday morning she was hopeful the kidnap victims would be freed quickly. "Discussions are going on and we hope foe situation will be resolved ... and that th e a b d u cte es w ill be released," she said. The incident occurred in a forested area in the Okra Hills, about 40 miles east of Freetown. The gunmen are former soldiers of the A rm ed F o rce R e v o lu tio n a ry Council, the junta that seized power in a 1997 coup and was ousted the next year by a W est African intervention force.

Also seized were Christo Johnson, a lo cal re p o rte r fo r R eu te rs; P asco Temple of Libena's Star radio, and Ade Campbell and Chemor Bangura, both from Sierra Leone state television to have b een No further information was avail­ able on foe women and children who released w ere Wednesday. Hostages are believed to be held across Sierra Leone, though there are no reliable estimates on how many. Rebel officials could not immediate­ for co m m en t on ly be reach ed Wednesday's kidnappings. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan called on rebel leader Foday Sankoh, the Sierra Leonean governm ent and regional organizations "to do their utmost to seek foe earliest release of all detained personnel," U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said in New York. The hostage-taking could threaten aid to tens of thousands of hungry peo­ ple across Sierra Leone, many of whom are just starting to get help following the peace agreement. The U.N. food agency has p o st­ poned a food distnbution planned for Friday for 9,OCX) people in the town of M asiak a, not far from w h ere the hosta ge s were seized, said W agdi O thm an, a W orld Food P rog ram spokesman based in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The agency has also put on hold major distributions planned for next week. The g o v ern m e n t and the rebel Revolutionary' United Front signed a peace agreement on July 7 in Lome, the capital of nearby Togo, to end foe civil war. The fighting has devastated Sierra Leone.

Co-workers: Barton’s aim was deliberate Associated Press ATLANTA — Some of the peo­ ple day trader Mark O.

Detective Steve W alden said it w asn't clear w hether Barton had specific people in m ind w hen he entered two brokerages last week and killed nine people and w ound­ ed 13, hours before killing himself. But B arton " d id n 't ju s t go in th ere an d sp ra y ," said W alden, who is heading the investigation. Barton was able to shoot people at close range, including some under desks or at their chairs in the small offices. "Someone w ith a .45 and 9 mm in that small of space that is just an amateur shot can do a lot of dam ­ age, and he was aiming and target­ ing," Walden said. E ight p eo p le w o u n d e d in Barton's spree remained hospital­ ized Thursday. W alden said investigators had not found out whether loans from colleagues at either office were still outstanding. And he d idn't know w hom Barton borrow ed from, or how much. In a note left in the suburban apartm ent where Barton killed his wife and tw o children, he wrote that he planned to live "just long enough to kill ... the people that greedily sought my destruction." Barton went on his rampages in offices of A ll-T ech In v e stm en t Group and Momentum Securities.

While Maryland's unprecedented m andatory water restrictions were the first in the mid-Atlantic region, other states have sounded similar alarms. N ew Jersey Gov.

British pet passports let pets forego quarantine It will be a few months before the Passports for Pets program , first announced in March, is operating for everyone. After that, officials believe about 300,000 pets could be on th e m ove each year — from pampered pooches of expatriates to English dogs accom panying their families on vacations. C urrently, 9,000 pets — 40 per­ cent from the United States — are put into quarantine each year. Some fall ill, many pine and others die. It also costs pet owners around $3,200 to kennel an animal.

ROSES 2 DOZEN $19.95 CASH & CARRY «, I DAILY SPECIALS, TOO! yi I CASA VERDE FLORIST | 4 5 1 - 0 6 9 1 FTD 1806 W. Koening Ln. X - I j j Associated Press LONDON — F ifteen -y ear-o ld William Dowell is back in England after a kidney transplant and cancer treatments in France. And his dog Cassis is home, too. Cassis traveled across the English Channel on the first of Britain's new pet passports, rabies-free certificates that m ark the abolition of a law requiring all arriving dogs and cats to spend six months in quarantine. Diplomats and celebrities in this nation of animal-lovers have long cam paigned against the 100-year- old law, aim ed at keeping Britain free of rabies. But it was William's letter to Prime Minister Tony Blair that finally got things moving. I asked him could he p lease change the law and please speed up the change," William said. "I told him I was worried I may never see Cassis again — which could go two ways because dogs die in quaran­ tine, so it wasn't just me." Under new regulations detailed this week, owners will be able to bring pets into Britain from 22 West European countries. The program w ill likely be e x te n d e d to the U nited S tates, C an ad a and the Caribbean in 2001. Each passport certifies the pet has a tiny microchip im plant to verify its identity, has been vaccinated against rabies and has been treated for ticks and tapew orm 24 to 48 hours before arrival. Cassis, a 21-month-old Pyrenean m o u n ta in dog, tra v e le d w ith William, his mother and brother to their home in Coniston, a village in the Lake District in north England, 10 days ago. The family had moved to France a year ago because William, whose father is French, needed a kidney transplant and could get one more quickly there. He was diagnosed with cancer in the spring, shortly before the family was due to come home.

AP photo W O R L D & N A TIO N Druse residents maintain Syrian -s«dl Associated Press MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights — At the sound of a whistle, more than 300 D ruse A rab child ren at "Camp Liberation" began marching in unison, shaking their fists and chanting "the Golan is Syrian." M arching for Syria — a country they have never seen but feel they belong to — is just one of the patriot­ ic skills the Druse children from the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights have picked up at camp this summer. The youngsters, ranging in age from 7 to 14, have also learned the words to Syrian national songs, stud­ ied Syrian history and laid flowers at a memorial for Druse killed in the 1925 Syrian revolt against the French. The camp, carefully watched by Israeli plainclothes police, is one of the ways the Golan's 17,000 Druse residents try to maintain ties to Syria — especially now that a new, more moderate Israeli government seeks to revive peace talks, opening the possi­ bility of an Israeli withdrawal from the plateau. Since Israel annexed the Golan in 1981, only 400 Druse have accepted Israeli citizenship. The Golan Druse celebrate Syrian national day and many have relatives on the other side of the Syrian frontier. The Syrian government has tried to maintain ties as well, offering free education to Golan residents in the Syrian capital, Damascus, and sup­ plying water to some Golan villages. The Druse efforts to m aintain a Syrian identity are driven, in part, by Arab nationalism. But some Golan Druse are also concerned that if the Golan reverts to Syria, they will be treated with suspicion. They are a minority, followers of a secret offshoot of Islam . And, by necessity, they all have had some dealings with Israeli governm ent officials during 33 years of Israeli rule. M ost learned Hebrew w hile working with Israelis. Hamad Al-Makt, a 24-year-old res­ ident of Majdal Shams, the largest Druse village in the Golan, said his community has been separated from Syria for so long it might be difficult to fit in again. M any G olan D ruse have been careful to establish pro-Syrian cre­ dentials, including sending their chil­ dren to Camp Liberation, now in its eighth season. During a recent visit, two Syrian flags flew from a cluster of 20 tents at the camp, located in a valley of apple orchards just outside Majdal Shams. After spending five days there, 9- y ear-old M adar Q abani, had absorbed the camp's message. Israel is bad, he said. Asked why, he first shru gged his sh o u ld ers, then answ ered with m ore confid ence: "Because it is not good to my coun­ try." The older children's views were more nuanced. "I don't hate Israel because it has a lot of nice people," said Narjiss Abu Saleh, 14. "A lot of peop le w ant peace. At the same time, there are a lot of bad people who hate Arabs." ANNVERSARY Children from "Camp Liberation" march through the Druse village of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights on July 25.

AP photo Fewer unwed births rewarded Associated Press WASHINGTON — Four states and the District of Columbia have been notified they will win $20 million each in welfare bonus money for reducing the rate of out-of-wedlock births — if they can show’ abortions also declined. C alifornia, M ichigan, Alabama, Massachusetts and the district will split the first pot of money Congress set aside in 1996 as an incentive for reducing out-of-wedlock births. States have scrambled to get in on the bonus. The winners are so diverse that offi- riaLs were puzzled to explain their suc­ cess. Massachusetts began with one of the lowest unwed birth rates; the dis­ tinct had the highest. Yet both recorded drops. "Why these five states? 1 don't think there's much w’e have to say on that," said Michael Kharfen, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services. The winners had their own guesses. "There's been a message about wel­ fare changing and changing fairly radi­ cally,' said Joel Sanders, who directs Alabama's welfare reform program He also credited the strong economy. But he acknowTedged that virtually every state has tough welfare rules and a strong economy. "That's where the luck comes into it," he said. In Massachusetts and California, officials credited programs that give communities money to create preg­ nancy prevention programs, generally focused on teen-agers.

A P p h o to Y2K readiness lacking in health care systems Associated Press WASHINGTON — A new govern­ ment report raises questions about whether health care providers, from doctors to hospitals, are prepared to head off problems with medical bills and records that could be caused by the Y2K computer bug. Failures in health care providers' billing systems have been discovered testin g cond u cted by in Y2K Medicare, according to the previously unreleased report from the General Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress. "Testing with providers has been limited and reported results are not e n co u rag in g ," the GAO told the House Com m erce Com m ittee in a July 28 report obtained by The Associ­ ated Press. The report did not assess whether hospitals, doctors' offices and others are doing enough to ensure that med­ ical devices such as X-ray machines or heart-m onitors that use com puter chips will work properly starting Jan. 1,2000. But the GAO was generally critical of surveys that industry groups, such as the American Medical Association and the American Hospital Associa­ tion, have used to offer public reassur­ ance that the nation's health care sys­ tem will be Y2K ready. "N on e of the 11 su rveys we reviewed provided sufficient informa­ tion with w’hich to assess the Year 2000 status of the health care commu­ nity," the GAO report said. Separately on Thursday, the Presi­ dent's Council on Year 2000 Conver­ sion cited health care among areas of concern in its third quarterly report. "The existing information of the read in ess of som e health care providers indicates that much work remains to be done," the council said. Hospitals are not run by machines.” — fired Brown, chairmen of the Amaricen Hoepltal Aeeedatlen'i beard Health care industry leaders insist they wall be ready for Jan. 1, when it is feared that many computers, original­ ly programed to recognize only the last two digits of the year, will not be able to differentiate between 2000 and 1900. Unless reprogrammed in time, computers could malfunction. "H ospitals will be prepared and will have the ability to submit their bills/' said Fred Brown, chairman of the AHA's board. "Hospitals are not run by machines. They're really run by care-givers, by nurses, by physi­ cians. ... There's human backup to the machines." The GAO study said recent assur­ ances about Y2K readiness from industry groups, including the AHA, have been based on surveys that may be unreliable because of low response rates. For example, just 7 percent of doctors responded to a survey that the AMA has touted, saying that 94 per­ cent of physicians expect to be Y2K- ready before the end of this year. Also, such surveys generally have required no independent verification of providers' claims of Y2K readiness. The GAO cited similar shortcomings in su rveys by nine other groups, including the American Clinical Labo­ ratory Association and the American Ambulance Association. Oswald letter believed false Associated Press WASHINGTON — Shortly before President Kennedy was assassinated, the Soviet Embassy in Washington received a letter from Lee Harvey Oswald — a letter the Soviets privately believed was forged to make it look as if Oswald was working for them, newly released docu­ ments show. "This letter was clearly a provocation: It gives the impression we had close ties with Oswald and were using him for some purposes of our own," Soviet Ambas­ sador Anatoly Dobrynin, Moscow's man in Washington for 24 years, wrote in an internal memo stamped "High­ est Priority." Dobrynin thought the letter was a fake because it had a different tone than previous letters the Soviets had received from Oswald, who lived in the communist nation between 1959 and 1962. Also, the letter received at the embassy on Nov. 18,1963, had been typed, not hand­ written like his earlier ones, Dobrynin noted. W ithin a week, Kennedy was dead, and so was Oswald — shot down by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby. "One gets the definite impression that the letter was concocted by those who, judging from evervthing, are involved in the president's assassination," Dobrynin wrote. "It is possible that Oswald himself wrote the letter as it was dictated to him, in return for some promises, and then, as we know, he was simply bumped off after his usefulness had ended." The memo was contained in more than 80 pages of long-secret Soviet documents that Russian President Bons Yeltsin gave to President Clinton in June when the two were in Germany. The documents offer America a previ­ ously unopened window into what top-level Soviet offi­ cials were thinking and talking about at the time Kennedy was killed Nov. 22,1963, in Dallas. They believed that there was a nght-wing conspiracy’ to kill JFK and as part of the plot it was made out to look like Oswald was in the employ of the Soviet Union. That idea was dismissed by investigators early on," said John Newman, a University of Maryland history professor who has written books on Kennedy and Oswald Also included in the documente is a copy of an emo­ tional cable written by Anastas Mikoyan, a top Soviet envoy who had been sent by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev to Kennedy's funeral and a White House reception that followed. Mikoyan said that Kennedy's widow, Jacqueline, clasped his hand with both her hands and told him, near­ ly sobbing: "I am sure that Chairman Khrushchev’ and my husband could have been successful in the search for peace, and they were really striving for that." Much of the material, however, was about Oswald's stay in the Soviet Union. Oswald amved there in October 1959 as a tourist and was immediately asked to remain. "I have lived in a decadent capitalist society where the workers are slaves. I have no desire to go to any other country," Oswald wrote in an appeal for Soviet citizen­ ship. His handwritten letter, dated Oct. 16, 1959, was among the documents released. Because no decision was made on his request before his five-day tourist visa expired, Oswald cut his arm in an apparent suicide attempt, the documents said. He was hospitalized for a week. His attending physician, the records stated, considered Oswald of "sound mind but very’ strong-willed, and ü his request for permission to remain in the USSR were turned down again, he might repeat his suicide attempt." The documents indicate the Soviets denied him citizen­ ship but let him stay a year as a foreign national because of his persistent requests. He amved in Minsk in January- 1960 — the same month Kennedy announced he was running for president — and worked at a local radio fac­ tory. He later married a Soviet woman and in 1962, returned with his wife and their baby to the United States c c c * KomtriT ^•07¡LkPC f B i jU ttd W 3«U C I< J C T « •jm C S i ETC B M K lc rP O i CCC?

AP photo Clinton promises to veto GOP tax cuts W A SH IN G TO N — Republicans overcame solid Democratic opposition Thursday to narrowly win final pas­ sage of a 10-year, $792 billion tax cut trumpeted by the GOP as a deserving return of budget surpluses to wage earners and businesses. President Clinton denounced the bill and promised a veto. The Senate voted 5049 for the final package a few hours after the House passed it 221-206. "Individuals and families are due a refund, and that is exactly what we do w ith this le g islatio n ," said Sen. William Roth, R-Del., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. "Govern­ ment is not automatically entitled to the surplus." With little chance of becoming law, the bill will serve mainly as a defining issue betw een R epublicans and Democrats in the 2000 struggle for control of Congress and the race for the White House. Bombs kills 6 in Algeria A L G IE R S , A lgeria — A bom b exploded Thursday in a village market southwest of Algiers, killing six people and injuring 61 others, security forces said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing Hassi Bahbah, 175 m iles southw est of Algiers, according to a brief statement released by security forces. Authorities blame recurring vio­ lence on Islamic insurgents, who have been fighting to topple the govern­ ment since 1992. That was the year the military-backed government canceled elections that the Islamic Salvation Front was set to win. Thursday's attack comes just after President Abdelaziz Bouteflika called a national referendum Sept. 16 on a peace plan intended to end the Islamic insurgency. Since his election in April, Bouteflika has taken several steps to end the con­ flict, including an official acknowledg­ ment that 100,000 people have been killed during the insurgency. High Court may hear gay scout's case WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, although reluctant to tackle dis­ putes over gay rights, will be on famil­ iar legal ground if it agrees to judge the Boy Scouts of America's exclusion of homosexuals. The court already has staked out its views on private organizations that ban women members and on a private sponsoris efforts to keep gay groups from marching in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Boston. Together, however, those past decisions do not point to an obvious result in the Boy Scouts case. 1 he Boy Scouts plan to appeal a New Jersey Supreme Court ruling, issued W ednesday, that said their exclusion of homosexual boys and leaders violates a state law banning discrimination in public accommoda­ tions. Boy Scouts law yer G eorge Davidson is confident of winning a Suprem e Court review — success achieved by few er than 100 of the approximately 7,000 appeals that reach the nation's highest court each year. "I know the likelihood is statistically low, but I'm confident our case has a high p ro b ability ," D avidson said Thursday. "This is an important issue that affects so many American fami­ lies." Hackers hit Symantec Web site WASHINGTON — A hacker used an unusually clever exploit Thursday to vandalize a prominent Internet site devoted to com puter security, the online equivalent of a thief burglariz- ingpolice headquarters. The embarrassing electronic assault against the AntiOnline site occurred days after other hackers altered the Web site for Symantec Corp., whose software is used by millions of con­ sumers to protect against viruses and electronic snoops. In the latest incident, a hacker using an Internet account in Russia success­ fully tricked the site's computer to load hidden software code from elsewhere onto or» of its own Web pages, called "Eye on the Underground." Although the hacker never directly infiltrated AntiOnline's own comput­ ers, the hidden code redirected visitors to a Web page with the image of an unblinking eye, along with the mes­ sage "expensive security systems do not protect from stupidity." — Compiled from A ssociated Press reports 4 T h e Da ily T exan nUMY, AUGUST 8,1888 EDITORIALS Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the e d it» » writer of the artide. They are not necessarily those of the University administration, die Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. S tr u g g lin g W ith R en t C o n tro l For years students at this university have lobbied for rent control, and for years dty officials have done nothing. In return for their inaction, we owe our civic leaders a debt of gratitude. Over the past 50 years, cities across the globe have experimented with rent control policies. Here in Austin, where average rents have increased 72 percent since 1990, many see rent control as the answer to our prayers. By preventing rents from ris­ ing above specified levels, rent control advocates hope to reduce housing costs and make living in Austin more affordable. While these price-control policies sound appeal­ ing to impressionable college students who often place idealism ahead of pragmatism, they actually offer no more than the potential for unmitigated disaster. In order to fully comprehend the dangers that rent-control measures pose, one must possess a basic understanding of real estate. Contrary to pop­ ular belief, the rental housing market is not monop­ olistic, nor is it excessively profitable. West Campus apartments are expensive not because of "price gouging" on the part on land­ lords, but because the demand for such units far exceeds their supply. Due to environmental regula­ tions, zoning restrictions and tight labor markets, the costs of development in the Austin area are exorbitant. For these reasons, builders are unwilling to construct apartments quickly enough to satisfy residents' growing need for rental units. Implementing rent control would only make J ohn M cInnis T ex a n C o lu m n ist matters worse. rhe fundamental problem with rent-control reg­ ulations is that they interfere with the normal oper­ ations of the free market. By setting apartment rents below their true market values, rent control boards often initiate frenzies. At artificially low prices, ten­ ants begin demanding far more apartments than landowners are willing to supply. Thus, rent control inevitably leads to — or even exacerbates — hous­ ing shortages. Shortly after World War O, government officials in Sweden enacted rent-control legislation in an effort to curb inflation. While these measures did lit­ tle to reduce the overall price level, they were quite successful in creating a widespread paucity of affordable housing. The Swedish government then launched an enor­ mous campaign to construct hundreds of thou­ sands of publicly subsidized rental units. At one point in the 196CYs, Sweden possessed the most rapidly growing housing stock in the world and yet affordable apartments still remained in short sup­ ply. In 1976, when officials finally lifted rent control restrictions (and rents were allowed to rise freely), Sweden enjoyed its first housing surplus in over 30 years. Attempts in the United States to implement rent control haven't fared much better. In cities such as New York, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Berkeley, Boston and Cambridge, rent-control policies have produced extensive shortages in rental properties. As a result, Massachusetts' voters passed an initia­ tive in 1994 to ban rent control completely. Not only does rent control affect the number of rental units that will be made available, but it also affects their quality. In short, rent-control regula­ tions can lead to urban deterioration. Stringent restrictions on rent levels discourage landlords from maintaining their existing facilities. Why incur maintenance costs if rents are legally frozen? Under a price-controlled real estate market, rational landowners often let their properties depre­ ciate rapidly. This, in turn, eventually results in the development of slums and ghettos. Assar Lindbeck, a noted socialist economist, has said, " . . . next to bombing, rent control seems to be the most efficient technique so far known for destroying cities . . . " As college students, We are all too often inclined to rely on myopic solutions to complex problems. In the case of rent control, we need to wake up and face reality. To advocate the implementation of rent control would be to turn our backs on history. Rent control policies have never been, and will never be, effective in providing housing that is affordable and easily accessible. If we truly want to reduce the cost of living in Austin, other avenues must be explored. Mcinnis is a Business Honors senior ©he Baila ©exatt R o b A d d y Editor C e c il y S a il e r Associate Editor M ic h e l l e M a n n Associate Editor B r ia n D u p r e Associate Editor P o o r O u tlo o k D on't bother w ith the shades ing may not be so bright. the future of higher education fund- Though Texas higher education had it good during the last go- round at the Legislature, gaining $791 million in new general revenue an 11.3 percent increase over the previous biennium — it may be downhill from here on out. Budget surpluses and unequaled econom ic prosperity this year gave higher education in Texas w hat it had long been looking for, but uni­ versity adm inistrators could soon be scram bling for dollars to keep their institutions afloat. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education has estim ated that four out of five states, Texas included, will have budget deficits by 2008 if current econom ic assum ptions hold. Texas is predicted to have the 10th highest budget deficit in 2008, with revenues falling 7.8 percent below spending com m itm ents. Unless state legislatures raise taxes or cut spending on public edu­ cation, prisons or other big-ticket services — and it's likely they w on't — public funds will be insufficient for colleges to even m aintain cur­ rent standings. Even to ju st continue current services state appropriations will have to increase substantially each year — an average of 6 percent nation­ ally to keep up with inflation and growing enrollm ents. That level of consistent funding increases will be difficult to achieve even if cur­ rent rosy econom ic predictions prove true; if an unexpected recession hits, it would be im possible. When the crunch hits, politically popular tax cuts and spending pro­ jects still get funded — but higher education funding is, and likely will be, the first to get cut. This may not mean much to students now attending the University — we'll all be gone (or should be) by the time such projected deficits set in. But this doesn't bode well for those concerned with more long­ term issues like paltry staff salaries and ever-increasing tuition and fees. If the foreseen trend proves true, universities will have to find more creative ways to generate funding or it will be students who ultim ate­ ly foot the bill. W elcom e to the next millennium . H ow dy, Y 'a ll In the name of professionalism and uniform ity Am ericans are now being asked to forsake their roots. In an age where network new scast­ ers carefully m odulate their voices to sound "region non-specific" and business com m unication is rapidly becom ing global, it probably shouldn't be surprising that the Texas twang, southern drawl and Boston brogue are slowly becom ing a thing of the past. Well, fiddle-dee-dee to that. Yesterday, the Dallas M orning Neivs reported that in the profession­ al world, those who speak with regional dialects are increasingly being told they need to receive "accent elim ination" speech therapy in order to advance in their careers. This hom ogenizing of the Am erican accent is presum ably an effort to encourage w orkers to integrate into the broader national work force and appear more professional. The presupposition behind most of this push for accent-neutrality is this: The way in w hich you speak may somehow indicate your intelli­ gence, position in society or upbringing. Many would say that unique inflections in speech indicate that Texans are stupid, Southerners are slow and New Yorkers are rude. Well, we all know that's just not true about Texans. I íessure to conform to a M idw est accent will eventually erode charm ing and colorful speech that has long set individuals and regions apart from one other. Im agine President John F. Kennedy without his aristocratic Boston accent, M artin Luther King, Jr. w ithout his charis­ matic M ississippi drawl, or the m ovie Fargo if none of the actors said, "E h ?" We should all learn to quit jum ping to conclusions about other peo­ ple based on their accents. D ifferent dialects add spice to a society that is becom ing increasingly im personal and pompous. Em brace where you came from and hold on to the accent that proves it — it will make a great conversation piece. But, then again, y'all knew that.

T he F iring L ine Be prepared The New Jersey Suprem e Court, in a unanim ous decision, has ruled that the Boy Scouts of America may not discrim inate against gays. The case was brought by a model Boy Scout who won 30 merit badges and seven achievem ent honors during 11 years, then was kicked out when the group learned by happenstance that he is gay. It's really sad that even the Boy Scouts — a group formed to instill values of good character, ethics and good deeds — has to be forced not to discrim inate. They are teaching im pressionable youths by exam ple that it is acceptable to discrim inate. This should truly concern parents. The Boy Scouts argued that the group is private and, therefore, exem pt from an ti-d iscrim in atio n laws. The court d id n't buy it. The Boy Scouts, it said, is a public group. It recruits through schools and civic groups. Some parents who believe the nasty stereotypes about gay men as child m olesters may support the Scout leadership, fearing that their child could be in danger if no anti-gay policy existed Such fears are is unfounded. There overw helm ing e v i­ dence that heterosexu- als are usually the perpetrators of crimes against children. Should we ban all heterosexuals from guid­ ing our children and grandchildren? During my time as a Boy Scout, I was taught the 12 Scout Laws that included: Helpfulness, Friendliness, C ou rteou sness and K indness. Have these laws changed since then? Or do they simply not apply to me since I am also a gay man? The Boy Scouts organization vows to take their case to the Supreme Court. Somebody should take the them by the hand and lead them across the street. This time, they're the ones on the wrong side. William C. Stosine Iowa resident 'Texan' movie review s stink I just have to express my displeasure at the job The Daily T exan’s movie critics are doing. It is my secret belief that they are just some interns that get picked Sniff, sniff to go watch the movie and w rite down how they thought it went. The problem with this is that they SUCK !!! Their reviews are all so skewed it m akes me sure that they are journalism majors with sticks up their asses. You cannot go into every movie expecting an O scar candidate. Some movies are not made to be O scar winners. Take The Haunting for exam ple. That was very good horror movie but your "review ers" wanted to criticize based on an Oscar checklist. Horror movies aren't meant to win Oscars. If you want people to actually enjoy reading your movie reviews just do everyone a favor and go to Ain't-it- cool-news and just print what Harry Knowles has to say. God knows that he is the only critic left that is worth a damn.

Covington issued an injunction against any further use of the term A&M by the South Texas School of Law such as the reference "the South Texas College of Law of Texas A&M University," or any other permuta­ tion. She also ruled that the affiliation agreement w as made w ithout the permission of the Texas Higher Edu­ cation Coordinating Board and was therefore unconstitutional and poten­ tially misleading. "We're gratified that the judge made the order because it is consis­ tent with our decision from the begin­ ning," said Teri Hack, board spokes­ w om an. "A&M [does] not have authority to grant law degrees in the state." Sheila H ansel, public relations manager for the South Texas School of Law, said she anticipated the order. "We signed [the agreem ent] in good faith and so did A&M," Hansel said. "A&M should have gone to the board. They have hundreds of affilia­ tions and they w ill argue strongly about this." Hansel said the agreement was a plus for both schools since it gave them expanded library access, faculty exchange and exposure to new peo­ ple, thoughts and ways of teaching. She added that public money was never sought by the schools and that potential student benefits far out­ weigh any administrative concerns. Cindy Lawson, director of univer­ sity relations at A&M, said the schoel will appeal the decision. Walter Wendler, executive assis­ tant to the president at A&M, con­ curred. "We're going to continue to pursue this agreement," Wendler said. He added that the biggest hurdle has been convincing the public that they are not trying to create a new law school. "Somehow, I don't think it's clear that that's our intent — to develop a relationship with a school," Wendler said. "Because like any unique con­ cept, it takes a while to make it clear." SW Bell chooses UT alum as CEO Andrew Chen Daily Texan Staff Southwestern Bell named UT alum­ nus Ray Wilkins as its new president and chief executive officer last week. Wilkins, a native of Waco, will now supervise the company's 16 million access lines which provide communi­ cations services to more than 14 mil­ lion customers in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. He emphasized his commitment to customer service as the new head of the company. 'We are placing a real high premi­ um on delivery, the highest degree of technology and service to customers in our area," Wilkins said. For three years beginning in 1995, Wilkins was named one of the 100 most-influential African Americans by the Kansas City Press. "This is a very exciting time for telecommunications," he added. "We are in a period of increasing competi­ tion, but also exploding technological change in the market place." Wilkins, who started at Southwest­ ern Bell as a commercial assistant, graduated from UT with a business degree in 1974. "The background I got at UT was invaluable," he said. Wilkins said he pursued a concen­ tration in marketing and, in his last semester at the University, had the opportunity to interview with several firms. "I interviewed with probably 10 to 15 firms who had a lot of interest in marketing aspects — people like Proc­ ter & Gamble, IBM and Southwestern Bell," he said. Wilkins said working for South­ western Bell allowed him to go direct­ ly into a management position. "I had to weigh my own personal strengths against the application of that particular job," he said "[Manage­ ment] was one of my strong points. I opted for a management position over marketing or sales on that basis." Wilkins worked his way through school, often leaving little time for extracurricular activity. "I was working 40 class hours a week plus going to school, so I didn't have a lot of time for on-campus activi­ ties," he said. Wilkins' advice to aspinng business­ women and men is to find out what their passion is. "Passion takes you past being an ordinary performer to being an extra­ ordinary performer," he said. "Once you find mat out — what really turns your light bulb on — you really have to make a commitment to that... with­ out that commitment, you can really lose your focus easily." Wilkins replaces former CEO John Atterbury, who was recently named president and CEO of Southwestern Bell Broadband Services. Before being promoted, Wilkins was president of Pacific Bell's business and communications services. In addition to his job, Wilkins also serves on the board of directors for Smart Valley Inc. and for California Polytechnic Institute State University. Southwestern Bell — which offers telecommunications services like local and long distance, wireless and data communications, paging and Internet access and directory advertising and publishing — has 130,000 employees and ranks annually in the top 50 of Fortune 500 companies. "We want to be able to provide a full bundle to our custom ers in telecommunications and entertain­ ment," Wilkins said. "We want to be the pre-eminent provider of telecom­ munications in our area." Chris Talley, a spokesm an for Southwestern Bell, said the company is entering the most exciting time of its history with the explosion of broad­ band and long distance in the near future. "Ray's deep expenence and under­ standing of how to provide great cus­ tomer service in our telecommunica­ tions environment will be absolutely vital as we continue to offer service and compete," Talley said.

A ctual styles may vary from those shown k e r T o u a n ti ti e ^ im U ^ STATE & LOCAL "M Y - U W HOLIDAY Watershed rule delayed Kathryn A. Wolfe Daily Texan Staff After lengthy discussion before a packed chamber, the Austin City Coun­ cil postponed a decision Thursday night on a motion that would have estab­ lished more stringent watershed pollu­ tion limits for certain areas of Austin. The motion will be reconsidered in two weeks when the council recon­ venes. If passed, the motion will restrict developers in w est and northw est Austin w atersheds to constructing impervious cover over only 20 percent of a property's acreage, nullifying a pre­ vious 1986 ordinance allowing impervi­ ous cover over 40 to 60 percent of acreage in certain areas. Impervious cover is any hard surface — such as pavement, roadways and rooftops — which prevents ground absorption of water. Airborne pollu­ tants build up on these hard surfaces and are washed into the watershed when it rains, effecting the water sup­ ply.. The debate which led to the post­ ponement centered around several dif­ ferent motions on how best to deal with landowners who may be unaware of the impact of the proposal on their property. "I will assure you ... that the first notice that this citizen had of any such proposed change was day before yester­ day," said Jack Maroney, a landowner effected by the proposal. But James Baker, founding member of the 2222 Coalition — a group of neighborhood associations — said pro­ ceedings leading up to this decision have been ongoing and public for the past year. "It's a colossal waste of everybody's time to wait until the last minute and cause a delay," Baker said. "All that does is inconvenience people." Brigid Shea, communications director for the Save Our Springs Alliance — an environm ental w atchdog group — agreed with Baker. "The way these things have worked in the past is [developers] seek a delay on a regulation and then they file a whole bunch of applications so that they can claim that these applications were in the hopper before the rules passed and are therefore grand fa­ thered," Shea said. "Our position is it's unacceptable to delay these regulations since they've already been through a year-long public hearing process in this task force." But Amy Barbee, executive director of the Real Estate Council of Austin, questioned the council's lack of proce­ dures for notifying effected citizens. "[Previou s to] this m orning, it is probable that many of those landown­ ers had no idea that these ordinances were being proposed for approval," Barbee said. "There is something inher­ ently unfair with a process that does not notify the effected parties and give them the opportunity to address the issue prior to an ordinance being passed." Councilman Daryl Slusher repeated­ ly made amendments that, if passed, would have made the proposal effective immediately. He cited the fact that over 15 meetings addressing this and other related subjects had been held over the past year. Austin Mayor Kirk Watson disagreed with Slusher, expressing concern that the proposed amendments — which typically allowed an extra three weeks for citizens to respond — did not allow •for enough time to receive public feed­ back. Watson said he preferred a several month interim period instead. Shea expressed further concerns over the environmental impact of not pass­ ing the proposal as soon as possible. "The more you pave-over a water­ shed, the more you increase the pollu­ tion in the runoff from those hard sur­ faces and the more you increase the ero­ sion and flooding problems," she said.

Bush delivered his standard cam­ paign stump speech, diverting only to take a veiled shot at Gore, who got in hot w ater for claim in g to invent the Internet and is seeking credit for a solid economy. "It sounds like some of the folks up there think they invented pros­ perity," Bush said. "They no more in v e n te d p ro sp e rity th an they invented the Internet." Bush also spoke approvingly of a compromise tax cut plan bargained in Congress, declaring "I hope, Mr. President, you sign the bill." Bush touched only briefly on the them e of H ispanic voters, noting that test scores have im proved in Texas "particularly among African- American and Latino children."

So, when a huge m etal m an kerplunks off the coast of Rockwell, Maine, lonely Hogarth H ughes goes from being an under-attended only child to acting as parent and protec­ tor of the m ost u n u su al p la y m a te since E.T. A fter all, the new com er needs som eone to teach it English, hide it from the su sp ic io u s tow n s­ people and help sate an iron-chomp- ing appetite that could quickly solve the landfill problem. The Iron Giant is an animated film unlike any other, a concept too am bi­ tiou s for live-action and too w ell- rounded to fit our expectations of a mere cartoon. The story itself com es from a c h ild re n 's book by B ritish poet laureate Ted H ugh es and w as transposed to a new time and place by d irecto r Brad Bird an d A u stin screenw riter Tim M cCanlies. Set in late 1957, just after R ussia's success­ ful Sputnik launch, the film catches an unsettled Am erica as w orries of the Cold War escalate into the even more intense Space Race. W hat ex actly is H o g a rth 's new metal buddy? An interstellar being? A Soviet w eapon? The answer is left am b igu o u s enough that aw estruck kids can latch onto the story without getting political. But after the Iron Giant tries to defend himself from his military aggressors later in the film, th e re 's n o d e n y in g that the Iron G iant is som e sort of w eapon tem ­ porarily disabled by a huge dent in the side of his head. The q u e stio n then b e c o m e s w h e th e r the G ia n t's h u m a n -lik e emotions stem from a malfunction or if they are part of his coded destruc­ tiv e c a p a b ilitie s . O f c o u rse the redeem ing solution to the puzzle is that — blueprint intentions aside — by the end of the film, the Iron Giant m akes an important protective deci­ sion that con trad icts his offen sive program m ing. The Iron Giant doesn't really need a v illain an d p ro b a b ly w o u ld h av e been better without one, but Bird and McCanlies gleefully give us a despi­ cable outlet for our frustration all the same.

Hogarth Hughes tries to teach his new robot acquaintance some of the ground rules in The Iron Giant film THE IRON GIANT Featuring the voices of: Eli Marienthal, Jennifer Amston, Harry Connick Jr. Director: Brad Bird Playing a t Gateway, Barton Creek, High­ land, Lakelme, Northcross, Round Rock, Tin­ seltown North and South Rating: ★★★ ? (out of five) for a break in his career, M an sley m akes in vestigatin g the Iron Giant his top priority', m oving in with and harassing Hogarth when he finds out the kid is hiding information. "All I know is that we didn't build it," Mansley sneers threateningly, "so we m ust assum e that som ebody else did and blow it to hell." Mansley uses the military as little more' than the arsen al he n eed s to w reak h av o c on the Iron G ian t, allowing the film to indict the trigger- happy Cold War mentality without actually tarnishing authority. At one point, M ansley becom es so crazed about d estroyin g the robot that he actually launches an atomic bomb at the entire town of Rockwell. O n the oth e r extrem e, the film gives us the likable Dean, a cool-cat beatnik who serves as the one charac­ ter who understands Hogarth. Dean, a cappuccino-sipping loner who can't d edd e whether he's "a junkman who sells art or an artist who sells junk," se e m s m ore a hip '90s g u y tra n s­ p o sed in the '50s than a laid-back social outcast. In addition to serving a s H o g a r th 's fath e r fig u re , D ean offers the one thing Hogarth's 50-foot companion needs most: a scrap yard that serves nicely as an all-you-can- eat buffet. R ath er than ro c k etin g fo rw ard with anim ation breakthroughs and nauseating political correctness, The Iron Giant rings of nostalgia. A dults will love the tim e-capsule feel the film giv es as a w indow on a trou­ bled yesteryear when life m ay have been sim pler, but p aran o ia struck deep. For kids, the film is nostalgia in the making, an endearing creation that will stand out in m any m inds as a childhood film going highlight. Though director Brad Bird honed his craft w orking with D isney an i­ m ato rs, one of the film 's g re ate st virtues is its separation from the D is­ ney tradition. The Iron Giant is free from cum bersom e song-and-dance num bers and by-the-num bers plot­ tin g . film m a k e rs approach animation with a common- sense mentality that seem s to elude the d o o d lin g M o useketeers. What B ird a n d M c C a n lie s g iv e u s is a m o v ie w h o se fir s t p rio rity is its story, u sin g the ad v an tages of an i­ mation to enhance rather than hob­ ble the "big idea." In ste a d , the The anim ation itself lag s behind the likes o f D isn ey and Pixar. But th at's not n ecessarily a sign ifican t drawback in a film that absorbs your im agination so com pletely that you hardly notice such details. On repeat v ie w in g , fa n s m ay b eco m e m ore aw are that the gorgeously rendered Maine backdrops tend to upstage the simple human drawings. Most pecu­ liar, each of the characters seem s to belong to his own style of animation, w ith FBI a g e n t K ent M a n sle y 's streamlined hatchet face reflecting an entirely different skeletal structure from H ogarth's gawky caricature. The real wonder of the film is the talent that went into giving the Iron Giant human characteristics. Playing subtly with his lantern eves and steel- frame physique, the film's animators have taken a menacing-looking metal m an an d a llo w e d him to e x p re ss emotions that range from curiosity' to regret. With detachable bodv parts and rocket boosters on his feet, The Iron Giant is likely to be the coolest thing k id s'll see at the m ovies all year, le a v in g even the u p co m in g computer-animated Toy Story 2 with a fierce contender. W here so m any an im ated film s an d c h ild re n 's m o v ies in gen eral cram content dow n the k idd os' g u l­ lets, The Iron Giant challenges them to follow a m eaningful and com pli­ c a te d s to r y w o rth y e v e n o f the gro w n -u p atten tion o f those w ho h av e sw o rn o ff an im ated m o v ies e n tir e ly .

W ithout being hit, M cK night w ent dow n on the the artificial turf at M emorial Stadium d u ring one of the first plays of a goal-line drill. The team listed the injury as a sprain. An MRI w as pending. Receiver Jeff O gden also was shaken up during the scrimm age. He sufferred a bruised left hip and did not return. His injury did not appear as serious as M cKnight's. If M cKnight's injury is as severe as it looked, it could m ake it easier for coaches to set their receiver rotation. The team is considering keeping five or six receivers and has more candidates than that. If th ey 're A ssum ing healthy, Michael Irvin and Raghib "Rocket" Ismail will be the starters and Ernie Mills and Jeff O gden are pretty secure as the top backups. fo u rth -ro u n d pick Wane McGarity d o esn't beat o ut McK­ night for the No. 5 spot, he could convince the Cowboys to keep six receivers. H e's already caught the eye of quarterback Troy Aikman, and he s been solid on special teams. Wane has been im pressive in my opinion," Aikman said. "If he can stay healthy, I think he's a guy w ho can play at this level." Also in cam p are sixth-round pick MarTay Jenkins and form er TCU players Jason Tucker and John W ashington. Gailey said Jenkins is a raw tal­ ent still learning the passing game because he played in a run-orient­ ed program at N ebraska-Om aha. "H e's getting better, b u t not by leaps and bounds," Gailey said. "I d o n't know how far he can come in next 4-5 weeks, but it'll be interest­ ing to see." Gailey likes w hat he's seen from Tucker, w ho played in NFL Europe. Jason has been a pleasant su r­ prise for me," the coach said. "H e's dropped a couple of passes, but he s m ade a couple of fantastic catches. I think over the course of time, we ll be able to determ ine which one is true." W hoever d oesn't make it w ould likely be offered a spot on Dallas' practice squad. About 10,000 fans attended the Cowboys' first live action w orkout of the season Thursday night. One of the highlights was Irvin juggling a pass and controlling it w ith one hand in the corner of the end zone. Some of the loudest cheers of the night were for rookies linebacker Dat N guyen and McGarity. N guyen played college ball at Texas A&M and M cGarity at Texas.

AP photo Cuban track star denies using cocaine McGwire Associated Press HAVANA — Saying he was the unwitting victim of a "dirty trick," Cuban high jum per Javier Sotomayor angrily disputed the positive cocaine test that cost him his Pan American Games gold medal. "I am innocent," the world record- holder told foreign reporters as he left his home Thursday in the fashionable Miramar neighborhood. In an interview published and broadcast by C uba's state media, Sotomayor said he doesn't even take vitamins. He pointed out that count­ less previous drug tests at competi­ tions and by Cuba's official sports doctors had all show ed negative results. "I have only seen that substance in the movies," Sotomayor said about cocaine in an interview with the Com­ munist Party daily Granma. "I am the victim of a maneuver, a dirty trick." The Sotomayor case is the biggest drug scandal in track and field since Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson was suspended and stripped of his gold medal after testing positive for an anabolic steroid at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. So far, Sotomayor has talked only to C uba's governm ent-controlled media, which stand behind his claims of innocence. Cuban officials have charged that Sotomayor was framed, and that the cocaine m ust have been slipped into his food or drink before the competition as part of a plot by Cuba's enemies. My conviction is that there are for- eign interests set to harm us," Jose Ramon Fernandez, the president of the Cuban Olympic Committee, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "What is the hairy, ugly, powerful hand behind this? We do not know yet." "I do not suspect the doctors, but I do suspect that there is a manipula­ tion, he added. "I think it is a m aneuver against Cuba through Sotomayor by enemies of Cuba." To Pan Am medical officials, though, all that matters is that the drug was in Sotomayor's urine. They said they don't question how it got there. Sotomayor, the world indoor and outdoor record-holder and the only high jumper to clear 8 feet, won his fourth Pan Am gold in the high jump Friday. Following the drug test results, he was stripped of the medal and sus­ pended for two years. That makes him ineligible for this month's World Track and Field Championships and next year's Olympics in Sydney. The Cubans are expected to appeal the ruling. Revered by athletes and fans throughout the world, the track-and- field hero is now pursued by a dark cloud of suspicion. His absence will leave the sport without one of its most recognizable names. Sotomayor was the third athlete — all gold medalists — to test positive at the games. Continued from page 12 The last player to reach 500 homers was Eddie M urray on Sept. against at Baltimore 6, 1996, Detroit's Felipe Lira. M urray is 15th on the career list with 504. McGwire has already passed five players on the list this season — Lou Gehrig (493), Stan Musial and Willie Stargell (475) and Dave Winfield (465). Musial was at Busch Stadium for the big night and sat next to fellow Cardinals Hall of Famer Lou Brock, the last NL player to reach 3,000 hits. At 35, McGwire is a year older than Ruth was w hen he reached 500. He s had to make up for lost time in after injury-plagued 1993 and '94 seasons for Oakland, and the homer put him totaling 18 hom e runs on pace to hit 64 this season. Gwynn began the night close to his milestone, and was on edge. "I'm scared to death," he said before the game. "I'm nervous. I've never been this nervous before." Even the national anthem singer seemed jittery, forgetting the words m idway through the song. Ashby (10-5) allowed three runs on five hits in 7 2-3 innings and Trevor Hoffman finished for his 27th save. Chris Gomez drove in two runs for the Padres, who won for only the second time in 14 games and avoided a four-game sweep.

The h arsh reality is that Baylor hasn't w on nine gam es in a single year since 1986, and Steele is tak­ ing over a confidence-depleted team that has gone 4-18 over the past two seasons. "The last two years have been very frustrating," linebacker Rod­ ney Smith said. "Losing w ill make anyone frustrated." If Steele w ish es to initiate a turnaround, the first thing he must sell his players on is himself. According to center Joe Jackson, the Bears lost all confidence in Dave Roberts, Steele's predeces­ sor. "In the past, w e didn't have a lot of confidence in [our] coach," Jackson said of Roberts, w hose tenure lasted all of tw o years. "But everyone has faith in Coach Steele. We're all confident in him, and w e can all trust him." Whether Roberts is primarily to blame for the Bears' struggles last season is questionable. The fact that they were miserable on the field isn't. Baylor did little right w hen it came to X's and O's. The Bears ranked 11th in the Big 12 in scor­ ing offense and dead last in the conference in total defense. With this ineptitude staring him in the face, Steele is looking to get faster on defense and plans on overhauling the offense. H e's instituting an offensive philoso­ phy that w ill focus on a physical ground gam e and play action passing, w hich should include a spread set on third dow ns. The Bears w ill have all 11 offen­ sive starters and eight defensive starters returning from last year's squad, w hich is norm ally a plus for any team. H owever, consider­ ing the aforem entioned numbers, that m ay not be such a great thing after all. "Past experience creates us," Steele isn't said. "Experience alw ays good, if it's a bad experi­ ence." E specially . at the quarterback BAYLOR/Page 11 500! (and 501) McGuire continues to rewrite record book with 500th home run, but he didn’t stop there Associated Press ST. LOUIS — M ark McGwire made history in a hurry. The St. Louis Cardinals star became the fastest player to hit 500 home runs, then launched No. 501 off the left-field score­ board Thursday night in a 10-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. "I've exceeded everything I expected of myself," McGwire said after the game. Tony Gwynn, however, will have to w ait at least one more day for his milestone. He got his 2,999th career hit — a two-run double in the ninth inning — in going l-for-4 with a walk. A sellout crowd of 45,106 had come to Busch Stadium hoping to see a double-dose of history, and watched McGwire become the 16th mem ber of the 500- hom er club in the third inning. "I know there's been a lot of individual accom plishm ents," McGwire said. "But let's not for­ get this is a team sport." After just missing in his first at-bat, the slugger who hit a record 70 hom ers last season sent a hanging, 1-1 breaking ball from Andy Ashby an estimated 451 feet over the center-field wall. Gwynn took off his glove in right field and ap plauded as McGwire rounded the bases. McGwire jum ped on hom e plate with both feet before being greeted by team m ates, w ho exchanged his signature fake gut punches along with high- fives. McGwire, w ho hit 499th hom er W ednesday night, took his second curtain call in as m any nights as Ashby stood off the m ound, looking out tow ards center field. Then in the eighth, McGwire hom ered again off Ashby. This one traveled an estim ated 479 feet, the longest this season at Busch, and banged off the score­ board near his No. 25 in a lineup list before drop pin g into the seats right above the Padres bullpen. McGwire m ade it to 500 in 5,487 at-bats, obliterating Babe Ruth's record of 5,801 at-bats. The others in the top five are Jim m ie Foxx (7,074), M ickey M antle and Mike Schmidt (7,331). (7,300) Big Mac leads the majors with 44 home runs, two more than Sammy Sosa, and tops the NL w ith 101 RBIs. M cGwire's fifth m ultihom er game of the season and the 58th of his career came in the same ballpark where he broke Roger M aris' 37-year-old hom er record last Sept. 8 w hen he hit No. 62. M cGwire w ent on to finish ahead of Sosa's 66 in a race that captivated the nation. McGwire has 17 home runs in 21 games and remains behind last year's pace. H e's catching up in a hurry, however, and is on pace for 65. McGwire, w ho hit his 400th home run last season, couldn't have had a much better foil for his 500th. H e's 8-for-16 against Ashby with four hom ers and four doubles. McGwire has reached his last four big m ilestones, starting w ith Nos. 61, 62 and 70 last year, in front of the hom e fans. He w anted to hit No. 500 in St. Louis, too, and did it just in time — the Cardinals begin a road trip Friday w ith a doubleheader at Pittsburgh.

HBk * 1 ■ f Suns swipe Penny away from Magic ■ Penny Hardaway was dealt to the Phoenix Suns, Dell Curry burned the Bucks by bolting to Toronto and Calbert Cheaney turned down a trade to Miami and signed with Boston instead. It was another busy day of play­ er movement in the NBA, with no move bigger than the one sending Hardaway to the Suns for Danny Manning, Pat Garrity and two future first-round draft picks. "I believe it's the best thing for [Penny] to get a fresh start," Orlan­ do general manager John Gabriel said. Hardaway also gets a seven- year, $86 million contract, the largest allowed under the league's collective bargaining agreement, and will team with Jason Kidd in a star-studded backcourt. It was bitter day for the Magic, who parted with the last member of the 1995 team that went to the NBA Finals. It also was a bitter day for the Bucks, who thought they had reached an agreement to keep Curry, the league's most accurate 3-point shooter last season. "He gave his word two times, than changed his mind," Bucks gen­ eral manager Bob Weinhauer said. "I don't want to talk about him." Pan Am hoops team falls to Cuban squad ■ WINNIPEG, Canada - The USA Pan American Games Women's Basketball team fell to No. 2 seed Cuba, 87-78 in semifinal action at the 1999 Pan Am Games Thursday evening at the Winnipeg Arena.
