City council is expected to con­ sider the rezoning proposal for its third and final vote this afternoon. If the plan passes, neighborhoods west of the University are likely to see taller buildings, more busi­ nesses and a higher population as soon as fall 2005, city officials and developers say. At their July 29 meeting, the council voted to approve the city planning commission's recom­ mendation to reduce the minimum requirement for residential park­ ing in West Campus. According to the plan, developers will be expected to provide parking for at least 60 percent of their residential tenant space, instead of the stan­ dard 80 percent requirement in the Centra] Austin area. After meeting with Student G overnm ent representatives, Mark Walters, a senior planner with the city, said city planning staff suggested the council main­ tain the city's 80 percent require­ ment in order to provide enough parking for students. The council's rejection of the proposal and lowering of the m inim um requirem ent could mean a parking shortage in the area, Walters said. “What was expressed to me is that students are concerned there's not enough space for everybody to park their cars," Walters said. But he also said that the adop­ tion of a new minimum standard does not mean developers will provide less parking. “Just because somebody may be allowed to provide fewer park­ ing spaces under this [amend­ ment] than they might normally, it doesn't mean they will," he said. “From a marketing perspective and from people I spoke to in the [real estate] industry ... you may not end up with a very marketable development if people don't have spaces to park their cars." But some students are skep­ tical, said Student Government President Brent Chaney. "It costs about $19,000-to- “Under what the council passed, businesses will still be able to offer plenty of parking if they want to do i t ... there will be as much parking as there’s a demand for.” Brewster McCracken, City Councilman $20,000 to build one parking spot in West Campus," Chaney said. "So that's going to be rough on developers. They're not going to build additional parking spaces unless they have to." Chaney said the council's deci­ sion could end up giving develop­ ers a good reason to provide fewer spaces and cut construction costs. The parking decision reinforc­ es the overall plan to transform West Cam pus into a pedestrian- fnendly area, said Councilman Brewster McCracken. He said limiting the num ber of parking spaces will make West C am pus an extension of the University and help area busi­ nesses by remov ing the burden of parking requirements.

Clark said the power outage occurred when a 400-foot stretch of power cable at the intersection of Fifth and Nueces streets "broke internally," but most reports of power loss came from the area along the west side of Guadalupe between 24th and 27th streets. "When we have outages, these are the types of things that com­ monly cause them," Clark said. "It would be like an extension cord not working all of a sudden, like it has an internal break in it."

Department of Biomedical Engineering working on early detection technology By Susan Shepard Daily Texan Staff University researchers in the school's Department of Biomedical Engineering are working to develop new methods of diagnosing and treating cancer that could dramatically reduce the need for biopsies. Professor Rebecca Richards-Kortum of the University's Optical Spectroscopy Laboratory and her team of researchers were awarded an $8 million, five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute last month to investigate cancers of the lu n g cervix and oral cavity. "Many epithelial cancers begin on the surface of an organ site, and using light you can penetrate about a millimeter or two into tissue," Richards-Kortum said. "It's a really good match between a common problem and the strength of the technology that we've developed." Part of the research involves the identification of the unique genetic and molecular signatures of tumors, a task that will be undertaken in collaboration with the MD Anderson Cancer Center and the British Columbia Cancer Agency. After they have discovered how the tumors are marked, research­ ers will w ork on creating contrast agents that will identify and bind with cancer cells. "Right now, the recognition is done by using the physician's eye, but we can enhance that using simple optical techniques and the contrast agents," said team member Konstantin Sokolov, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering. Sokolov is also on the faculty of the imaging physics department of the MD Anderson Cancer Center. The agents are made up of small particles of gold with silver, Sokolov said, which are combined with antibodies that can recognize the molecular signatures of cancer cells. The use of these contrast agents to recognize cancerous cells could greatly decrease the need for biopsies, Sokolov said. "Even if a physician sees that there is something abnormal, most of the time it's actually normal, some benign condition that has nothing to do with cancer," he said. "Those sites get biopsied anyway, so the By Clint Johnson Daily Texan Staff According to an Internet watch­ dog group, one University student has been one of the largest dis­ tributors of an Internet phenom­ enon nearly everyone else is united against: spam. The Federal Trade Commission and Microsoft both have anti­ spam task forces. Congress passed the "CAN-SPAM" Act to increase restrictions on the m essages' senders. Even the University got involved when it implemented a new spam filter Monday. ButSpamhaus, an online watch­ dog group that researches and tracks knovcn spam m ers, says Ryan Pitylak, an advertising junior, and two other men are responsible for countless unsolicited e-mails. The group alleges that Pitylak, along with Steve G oudreault and Mark Trotter, ow n at least seven "com panies" that they use to send spam. Spamhaus says it only awards places on the list to people and groups who have been banned by at least three different Internet service providers. According to Spamhaus' Web site, "Being thrown off three ISPs for the same offense means the spammer is a committed hard-line spam operation that regards all ISPs as simply throwaway resources." it is uncer­ tain whether Schlotzsky's will remain open since the corpora­ tion filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Many people, such as John Bazan, are suprised by this unfortu­ nate event.

Schlotzsky's officials on W ednesday defended the Austin-based corporation's deci­ sion to file for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy, calling the move a way to reorganize the com­ pany while protecting its assets from creditors. The move tow ard bankruptcy was necessary to protect the company from mil­ lions of dollars in claims, judge­ ments and other debts accum u­ lated during the past few years, said Chief Executive Officer Sam Coats in a statement. Schlotzsky's will be reorganized under the direction of the U.S. Bankruptcy court in San Antonio, which will now deal with the company's creditors directly. Coats, a longtime airline execu­ tive, wfas hired in mid-June to make the company more attrac­ tive for a possible sale. He replaced former CEO John Woo ley, wrho managed Schlotzsky's for close to 23 years. Tuesday's bankruptcy filing capped a month that saw the delicatessen layoff 15 corporate positions and close 15 corporate- owned restaurants, according to Anne Braidish, a spokeswoman for the company. "S ch lo tzsk y 's has taken a num ber of steps d u rin g recent m onths to red u ce expenses, decrease overhead and im prove the com pany's cash position," Coats said. "U nfortunately, the situation in w'hich we found ourselves m ade it im possible to go forw ard w ithout a for­ mal reorganization. We believe that by taking this action, we can restructure o u r financial obligations, obtain new' finan­ cial resources an d em erge from this proceeding as a stronger com pany." Schlotzsky's was founded in Austin in 1971 and currently operates 21 corporate and 471 franchised restaurants. The res­ taurant chain claimed liabilities of $71.3 million and assets of $111.7 million, but the second figure includes $64.8 million in "intangible assets," such as the Schlotzsky's brand value, that cannot be easily sold. Braidish said that the company w'rll continue normal operations and w ill focus on reorganization and obtaining additional inves­ tors. Braidish added the chain doesn't anticipate elim inating additional restaurants or laving off more employees on the cor­ porate level.

Final vote could lead to WC changes PARKING, FR0M1 in particular incur enormous expenses by having to provide more parking than they really need," McCracken said. "Under what the council passed, busi­ nesses will still be able to offer plenty of parking if they want to do it ... there will be as much parking as there's a demand for." But some area businesses said city zoning changes in West Cam pus will only hurt business. Renee Schwartz, vice president of Harris M anagement, which manages several West Campus properties, said new city ordi­ nances that limit the num ber of parking spaces worsen an already difficult situation. "The whole change has been a huge problem for us/' Schwartz "Businesses depend on said. parking for customers; parking in the campus area is always tight." The council is also likely to give final approval to a city ini­ tiative to provide students in the area with affordable housing. The plan calls for developers to commit 20 percent of tenant space to students from families making 50 percent to 80 percent of the local median income. "Essentially, what we're try­ ing to do is provide a balance between the ability to provide incentives to the development community [and] to create hous­ ing that is more affordable," said Paul Hilgers, the city's director of neighborhood housing and community development. Pending the council's final deci­ sion, city officials expect the fee to create a fund of more than $2.4 million over the next 10 years. The fee would be based on a charge to developers of 20 cents per square foot of residential space. "The idea ... would create a fund that would help primar­ ily the nonprofit housing co-ops w ith a supplemental amount of revenue," Hilgers said. While the fund would be open to all nonprofit housing initia­ tives, Hilgers said city officials expect the funds to go only to the development of co-op housing in the area. He also said co-ops have always been efficient at provid­ ing cheap housing, particularly in West Campus. While developers in the area think the plan is a good idea, some say the city is not doing enough to provide residents with cheap housing options. "W hile this affordable hous­ ing effort is well-intentioned, it's not going to solve the problem," said John M cKinnemey, a devel­ oper with Sim m ons, Vedder and Company. "The only way to ever provide enough is make everybody do it." While he says he thinks the plan is a good start, Chaney said SG wall continue to push for more affordable student housing. "We've always pushed for more affordable student housing at every turn," Chaney said. "We're not completely happy with it, but we understand the need for com­ promise. We're going to continue to ask for more." T am m i V an d erw ilt. an a m a te u r p otter, a d m ire s Steven H ill’s new ly spun pitcher.

If users reply to the messages, w h ich o ften promise tow mort­ gage rates or free insurance quotes, their personal information may be sold to legitimate advertisers. Pitylak, Goudreault and Trotter were not available for comment Wednesday. A July 2003 survey conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 7 percent of e-mail users had responded to unsolicited advertisements for a product or service at least once. "Som e bulk e-m ailers claim that even a 0.001-percent posi­ tive response rate is a break-even point," the group's report reads. Pitylak has more than the aver­ age 22-year-old college student, but it is difficult to say how much he profits from his companies. According to Travis County tax records, he ow ns a home worth $450,000 in Austin's Deep Eddy neighborhood. The groups' com p anies often supply different physical addresses in messages than those they have registered with state regulatory agencies. According filed to records the Texas Secretary of with State's office, Pitylak registered Pay Per Action, LLC in 2002 and supplied a mailing address in Reno, Nev. Pitylak and Trotter also listed the same address when they reg­ istered LeadPlex, LLC. But both companies also have Austin addresses. LeadPlex leas­ es a Sixth Street office, and in small print on some of the spam messages tied to PayPerAction is an address for an office building on Mopac Boulevard. The Sixth Street office has a PayPerAction sign on the door, but a sign facing the street says, "Assured Traffic," another com­ pany operated by Pitylak. The tenants of the M opac office are not often there, said Jeff Henley, the Mopac complex's leasing agent.

Henley said Pitylak recently told him that he was being inves­ tigated by Texas authorities. It is not clear whether Pitylak and his associates actually violat­ ed any laws, or whether the FTC will expend resources to pros­ ecute them even if they did. "This is all about cost," Paula Selis, co-chairwoman of the FTC's anti-spam task force told The Chicago Tribune. "A s long as it's still cheaper for spammers to take the risk of drawing a lawsuit, and that risk is fairly low, they will continue to send spam." Congress enacted the "CAN- SPAM" Act in January as a way to implement a national standard for combating spam. The legislation forces senders to include with the messages a valid physical address and instructions for users to remove their names from the senders' list. The FTC has only filed two cases against spammers since the legislation was enacted. It filed separate criminal charges in late spring against two companies, which officials said both mar­ keted and sold fake diet patches using unsolicited e-mails. "The cyber scam artists who exploit the Internet for commer­ cial gain should take notice," Jeffrey Collins, a Michigan U.S. attorney, said in a statem ent shortly after the charges were announced. "Federal law now makes it a felony to use falsehood and deception to hide the origin of the spam messages hawking your fraudulent wares." POWER OUTAGE, FR0M1 C lark said he does not yet know ex actly w h at cau sed the cable failure, but said it m ay have been the result o f a pow er surge. Sometim es power surges can happen because of tree branches falling, small animals flying into the line, construction or other objects touching two wires at once, he said.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy means the company is still going to try and operate in the future, said Teresa Sullivan, a UT professor of sociology, while Chapter 7 bankruptcy means a company essentially shuts down. " A company will not take this step unless they had a serious reason for doing it," Sullivan said. "Everyone pays attention when this happens, and it's the kind of negative news, that you don't want to voluntarily get."

Free bus rides, artificial limbs and local phone calls are among the benefits to be eliminated under a bill set to become law next year, affecting an estimated 30 million of Russia’s most vul­ nerable citizens. Koshelyova was with a small group protesting outside the Russian parliament Wednesday in the feeble hope that the government-backed bill can be derailed. The government says abolish­ ing the benefits is a key step toward streamlining the bureau­ cracy and will benefit many. But recipients, who include war vet­ erans and survivors of World War II, feel abandoned. Bush, Kerry campaigns blocks apart in swing state of Iowa DAVENPORT, Iowa — President Bush and rival John Kerry cam­ paigned Wednesday in the same crucially important Iowa town, with the president predicting he will win in November because his administration has improved the economy and bolstered national security. "The other folks talk a good game. We deliver,” the president told supporters in a state he narrowly lost four years ago. “This time we’re going to carry it," Bush said. Bush and Kerry are in a tight race in Iowa, and both candi­ dates are going after voters in Davenport, an area that some political experts say provided Democrat Al Gore the votes he needed to win the state in 2000. FAA investigates chronic delays at O’Hare airport WASHINGTON — The head of the Federal Aviation Administration told airline executives Wednesday that if they won’t voluntarily reduce flight schedules at Chicago’s congested O'Hare International Airport, the government will do it for them. ‘‘We cannot let schedules at O'Hare hold the whole system hostage,” FAA Administrator Marion Blakey told the execu­ tives. "You can’t control the weather, but you can control your schedule." Right delays have reached his­ toric levels at O'Hare, and repre­ sentatives of every major airline convened here Wednesday to talk about the problem. On-time arrivals at O’Hare this year are lower than for the past four years. Only 67 percent of flights arrive there on-time. The FAA tries to achieve a system- wide on-time performance of 82 percent. “ If it weren’t for O'Hare, we’d be making that goal,” Blakey said. Thirty-seven percent of the delays are greater than one hour. Recommended heart drug bears deadly side effect NEW YORK — Spironolactone, a drug used for congestive heart failure, was supposed to save lives. But when doctors began prescribing it more widely, a side effect caused dozens of deaths, Canadian researchers report. The scientists say their find­ ings are a cautionary tale for doctors about the risks of apply­ ing drug-study results to real- world situations. They suggest physicians aren't being careful enough about who they put on the drug. "I have no doubt that in the right patients and with careful monitoring, that this is still a good drug combination,” said Dr. David N. Juurlink, one of the Canadian researchers. “ It’s just when we prescribe it more widely, and maybe we don't monitor patients quite as closely as we should, then that’s where we get into trouble." Juurlink and others believe the same thing is happening in the United States as in Canada where the study of the drug was conducted. Compiled from Associated Press reports T h f I ) \ i i v T e x a n Thursday, August 5, 2 0 0 4 Arrested S. Africans were planning attacks at home By Paul Haven The Associated Press ISLA M A BA D, Pakistan — Two South Africans captured along with a senior al-Qaida terrorist were plotting attacks on tourist sites in their home country, Pakistani officials said Wednesday. South African officials cast doubt on reports of a terror plot, though this past spring a top South African police official indi­ cated that authorities foiled plans to attack the country during its April 14 elections. The two men are believed to have arrived in Pakistan on a flight from the United Arab Emirates just days before their July 25 arrest, which followed a 12-hour gunbattle in the eastern city of Gujrat. They greeted police with curses and promised an unending battle against President Bush and anyone who supports him, according to a senior police official. The South African suspects were identified as Feroz Ibrahim, believed to be in his 30s, and Zubair Ismail, in his 20s, said Gujrat Police Chief Raja Munawar Hussain. Hussain told The Associated Press that authorities found sev­ eral maps of South African cities among the items seized after the raid, which also netted Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian with a $25 million bounty on his head for the bom bings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. exploited International “They had some terror plans for South Africa," Hussain said.

The reports sent shock waves through South Africa, where until recently, many considered their country terror­ im m une from ist attacks. South Africa, where some 2 percent of the 45 million population are Muslims, has been outspoken in its opposition to the Iraq war and its condemnation of Israel's treatment of Palestinians. The Johannesburg daily, The Star, quoted unidentified police sources as saying that key land­ marks were among the targets, the Carlton Center including A South African policeman stands guard outside the U.S. Embassy in South Africa, one of several targets identified by al-Qaida for possible attack.

AI-Qaida-linked terrorist group shifting tactics By Michael Casey The Associated Press JA K A RTA , Indonesia — Shifting tactics, an al-Qaida-linked group that staged the deadliest post-Sept. 11 terror bom bing is believed to be planning assas­ sinations of Western and regional leaders in Asia, m oving away from large-scale strikes against civilian targets, officials told The Associated Press. Increasingly isolated and on the run, Jemaah Islamiyah's capabili­ ties have been eroded by dozens of arrests, a shortage of funds and divisions within its leadership. As a result, the group isn't focusing on coordinated attacks such as the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings that killed 202 people and the 2003 suicide bombing of the J.W. Marriott hotel in Jakarta, which killed 12 people, officials told the AP. "T he threat has been con­ tained, but it is still there and has not been eliminated completely," said Zainal Abidin Zain, direc­ tor-general of Southeast Asia's U.S.-backed anti-terror center in Malaysia. Jemaah Islamiyah remains the most dangerous terror group in Southeast Asia, but the Marriott bombing was the last large-scale attack attributed to the group. Som e security' officials suggest the arrests of key members — including Hambali, the group's alleged operations chief — has stripped it of the ability' to strike big anytime soon. Remnants of Jemaah Islamivah have tried to regroup in Indonesia so they could launch more strikes, a Malaysian government official said on condition of anonvmitv. But they were hindered by the absence of a strong leader like Hambali, he said. "There is no one of Ham bali's caliber to step in and take over," another Malaysia security official said, also speaking on condition of anonymitv. is in jailed Jem aah Islam iyah's alleged leader, Muslim cleric Abu Bakai Bashir, Indonesia awaiting trial on allegations thal he ordered the Marriott attack and other charges. An Afghan- trained Indonesian who goes by the name Zulkam aen replaced Hambali as operations chief aftei his arrest last August, authorities say. The group still has an estimat­ ed 2,000 operatives throughout Southeast Asia. 6 hostages freed in Iraq, fighting kills 12 W E L L S FA RG O The Next Stage At Wells Fargo, we make student banking easy.

According to the University's new softw are, Brightmail, however, they're the same thing. an ti-spam Unbeknownst to most users, the University had been testing the Brightmail software for the past four months, harmlessly noting "suspected spam " in the delivery inform ation of each message if the software identi­ fied it as such. In most cases, the software, for which UT pays 85 cents per user, was right-on — it correctly identified a large pro­ portion of spam. Unfortunately, labeled T iff's Treat's it also coupons as spam, along with a from Vice President D ick Cheney, the weekly Apple Developer Connection Newsletter and ads from CBS Sportsline and eFax that I'd signed up to receive. Before Monday, I had a filter set up to automatically move those messages identified as suspect­ ed spam to a junk mail folder. cam paign m essage Since Monday, however, the University has been automati­ cally deleting all messages iden­ tified as spam. Unlike the junk m ail filters offered by Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or G oogle's new Gmail, there's no way to go through a junk mail box to see if a message you w ant was erro­ neously labeled. So my Tiff's Treat's e-mail was deleted before I had a chance to grab my "$1.50 off a $12 order" coupon. M ichael at Tiff's Treats was well aware of the problem. "We were told to tell customers they just have to go to the University and ask to have us unblocked," he s a id . I tried going that route last w eek. Senior systems analyst Donald Nash, who responds to complaints about the service, said e-mails from Tiff's Treats use a mailer that seems suspi­ cious, and he refused to permit Tiff's Treats messages to pass through the filter. In a follow- up e-mail yesterday, he said, "If the mail was important to Uni versity business, I might take the risk. As it is, I'm not inclined to do so." I don't know about y'all, but to me there's nothing more important to University business than some cookies. I met with Dan Updegrove, vice president for information technology last night in a last- ditch effort to free the cookies. After show ing him the Tiff's Treat's Web site, he admitted to having "a soft spot for cookies," and agreed to permit messages from the company. So the cook­ ie controversy has been solved, but the problem could be much larger than any baker's dozen of chocolate-chip cookies. I discovered the mislabeled m essages w hile U T was still testing the service, so I was able to ask that they be allowed through. But, what if next week, Brightm ail began blocking Am y's Ice Cream coupons? I'd never know what I was missing, and would be paying a dollar more for my ice cream than I should. adm itted U pdegrove he doesn't have all the answers: "It's not likely to be perfect." According to Updegrove, most o f Brightmail's custom ers are corporations, and "D ell's not as concerned about blocking cook­ ie coupons as a major research U niversity needs to be." He suggested three steps to resolve the problems: First, for errone­ ously deleted m essages that only affect a couple of users, Updegrove recommended hav­ ing those messages sent to a free Yahoo! Mail account, and then forwarding Yahoo! Mail to a mail.utexas.edu address. For e-mails, such as the Tiff's Treats coupons, which impact a larger number of users, ITS would explore w ays to have UT allow those messages through. A s of now, faculty can't even request to have senders added to the approved list; those requests must com e through a dean or center director. " I can't have [Nash] bogged down respond­ ing to com plaints," Updegrove said. O f course, if complaints were as rare as ITS suggested to The Daily Texan, Updegrove w ouldn't need to worry about bogging dow n Nash. A third option is to have mail go through a different server, w here suspected spam would tagged but not deleted. be Updegrove said that would cost money, however, and is not something the University could do in the short-term. e-m ail," I suggested ITS implement a junk mail folder, as most e- mail providers with junk filters use, so users could periodically w ade through spam to find any mislabeled messages, while not having to deal with massive amounts of spam in their inbox. Updegrove said it could be done, but would require more storage, and would therefore be more expensive. "U n so licited as U T defines spam, is certainly a nuisance. W ading through dozens of m essages offering porn or w ays to enlarge my penis, or letting me know I've been approved for a new, low- rate m ortgage isn 't my idea of a good time. W hile many e-m ail programs offer the abil­ ity to block junk mail, their accuracy and efficacy is often far from perfect. Brightmail is quite effective, and I applaud the University for taking steps to limit spam. At the same time, however, mistakes do happen, and deleting messages without offering students, faculty, and staff any recourse isn't the right approach.

Courtney Desiree Morris African and African American studies senior Firing Line personals It's truly amazing what som e­ thing as simple as a smile can mean. A smile, simple and rou­ tine, on the surface insignificant, has the power to inspire. A smile can change your mood, it can alter the course of your day, and it can even change you. A smile between two strangers in passing, a fleeting mom ent of joy, can mean more than just a simple hello. It's a beautiful thing to see another person flash a smile. Why write this? 'Cause there's this girl in my class. She is beauti­ ful but her smile is awe-inspiring. I see her smile, and the world fades away. My heart skips a beat. Nothing else seems to matter. She smiles. I smile. That doesn't hap­ pen to me often. Most times I go to class only because I hope to catch a glimpse of that smile. I find myself staring, waiting, hop­ ing for that smile. Sometimes I think she is staring at me or past me, perhaps out the window. I don't know, but I lack the cour­ age required to find out. No, this will be yet another failed goal, another regret to add to the pile. I will remain in the background with only that smile for comfort. But her smile, that amazing smile, is enough for me. Long after class has ended and she is no longer in view, her smile will remain. I will remember it always, seeing her face with that smile shining so bright. Loren Gibson Radio-televsion-film senior We’re all smiles Given the fact that generally when I write a Firing Line, it is because I am displeased about something either on campus or in the paper, I decided today I would do something a little different. I have something positive to say. The Aug. 4 Viewpoint "Was hatred tolerated on campus?" is hands-down one of the most pro­ gressive and socially responsible editorials I have read in my time here at the University. It is abso­ lutely critical that we, as a campus community, be honest with our­ selves about the subtle and not- so-subtle ways in which we allow homophobia and heterosexism to exist at this University. In our silence, we participate in allowing such ideas to flour­ ish and grow into the kinds of actions that lead individuals to express their ideas with violence and hatred. H om osexual, transgender, heterosexual, bisexual — what­ ever our sexual identity, we are all responsible for ending hate and boldly addressing it when­ ever we hear it or see it. Even if that means confronting friends, professors, classmates or partners. As a community, let's take a stand against violence and bigotry in all its forms at the University, as well as in society at large. Props again to the Texan for being willing to bring the analysis Two smiles First, I would like to thank Clint Johnson for writing his story, "APD charges University student with hate crime," Aug. 4, so care­ fully. It would have been easy to sensationalize this story due to its graphic details and "hot topic" nature, much like the lead story of the murder of a UT professor last semester. However, Johnson reported the facts in a straight­ forward way that did not come across as an attempt to grab read­ er attention through flashy writ­ ing. The result: a great story. Second, thank you to the writ­ ers of the Aug. 4 Viewpoint "Was hatred tolerated on cam pus?" I think you make an excellent point. When no one speaks out against intolerance, we all lose. Asking someone not to say such things as "H e's such a fag" doesn't make you any more gay than all Americans who fought against Hitler were Jewish. In my opin­ ion, it makes you a hero. While a person may be het­ erosexual and feel neither appre­ ciation for nor hatred toward the GLBT community, he or she should not allow such slurs as "That' s so gay" continue in every­ day language. Doing so creates a foundation for incidents like the July 17 attack by fostering feelings of a majority opinion for people with more extreme feelings. Joshua Howton Journalism senior One big frown I'd like to congratulate Matt Hardigree for finally not having the worst editorial in yesterday's Texan. In the Aug. 4 Viewpoint "Was hatred tolerated on cam ­ pus?" the author points out that the entire student body could be responsible for the sexual assault and robbery of a 32-year-old gay man: "Though there are 50,000 of us, we are a community. We are responsible for each other." Is the University really the first thing that comes to mind when trying to place the blame for this terrible crim e (in which only one current UT student and one former student w ere allegedly involved)? I guess it's just a cli­ che to blame it on bad parenting, getting mixed up in the wrong crowd, or even on the fact that they might just be insecure and ignorant. Are you blaming this on UT's not im plem enting a diversity class yet? Or should all students make sure everyone they know is culturally sensitive? W hat's next? Are we going to be respon­ sible for the next 18-year-old who gets alcohol poisoning or the next student who gets in a fight because he made racially insen­ sitive comments? Just because College Republicans and YC T "d on 't advocate gay bashing," and "cam pus-area m inisters tell their flocks to love, not rob, homosexuals," doesn't mean that the suspects were immune to this type of behavior. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world, and isolated incidents like this should, in no way, reflect poorly on the other 49,999 students and at The University of Texas. Evan Goldberg Mechanical engineering graduate student Klotz story is beating, not basketball In reporting the story about Jason Klotz's recent arrest ("Klotz arrested, charged with misde­ meanor assault," Aug. 4), you seem to mention many contribu­ tions he has made as a basketball player, focusing on his various basketball skills and awards. The real issue is the assault with injury charge, not his accomplishments. Under no circumstances whatso­ ever is it OK to abuse someone else by hitting, striking, punching or kicking. This story has dis­ appointed me immensely in that his accomplishments were men­ tioned, when the importance lies in his ghastly mistake. I only hope that he can obtain the proper help so that this problem doesn't exist in the future. Melissa Prentice Textiles and apparel senior Texan food critic needs to be stopped I became thoroughly befuddled after reading "Raising the flag at a newly opened Pancho's buffet," July 26, by Erin Gage. An excel­ lent Firing Line has already been submitted on this most discerning matter, however, so I will refrain from any further comment (see "Pancho's review gets no stars," Firing Line, July 28). Instead, let me address M ilto's Pizza Pub's recent four-and-one-half-star rat­ ing and the overall quality of food criticism, or lack thereof, the Texan has succumbed to. While this establishment does have decent food at inexpensive prices, it is nowhere near the quality Gage suggests. Where on your scale do restaurants such as Hudson's on the Bend, Jeffrey's, Wink, The Driskill Bar and Grill, etc., fall? These restaurants, where you do not place your order at a counter like at Milto's, are in constant battle year after year for four- to five-star ratings from Dale Rice at the Austin American- Statesman. If the purpose of your restaurant review series is to highlight less-expensive eateries geared toward everyday student dining, fine; just offer an explana­ tion of your five-star scale. Furthermore, please edit your work for blatant contradictions. Not mentioning those found in the Pancho's review, you describe M ilto's as a place that gets "over­ looked simply because of [its] location" and that its location is "praise-worthy." Which is it? And for goodness sakes, wine is not something meant to "w ash down food." Wine is meant to be enjoyed and to compliment good food. As a devoted food lover, I believe Gage is doing the readers of the Texan, as well as the Austin restaurant scene, a dis­ service with her reviews. Cameron Lockley P. P. A. / Business honors senior University Restaurant Association president Aug. 4 Firing Line, "N ot so fast with the sarin gas!" that I do not have the facts correct on the sarin shells in Iraq and that I should be ashamed for politicizing an issue over which hundreds of Americans have died. He's dead wrong. Here are the facts: The extent of the U.S. military support of Iraq 25 years ago was 60 civilian Hughes helicopters, 10 Bell helicopters and strategic intel­ ligence. No chemical or biologi­ cal weapons, as Gentry suggests. According to weapons inspector Charles Duelfer, 35 sarin and mus­ tard gas shells have been found in Iraq as of July 21, and counting. Many of these are binary shells, which do not degrade and each contain millions of lethal doses of the nerve agent. Even Scott Ritter has confirmed that Iraq did not have this "mix- in-flight" capability as late as 1998, refuting Gentry's claim of the weapons' age. At least two American soldiers have been attacked with one of these weap­ ons. Their presence is a black-and- white violation of U.N. resolution 1441, article 3, which gives the United States legal standing to depose Iraq's murderous dictator. I have family in each branch of the military and am well aware of and grateful for the sacrifices and risks taken to keep America safe. I expected to be attacked with hypocrisy and straw men, and I was not disappointed. Such people as Gentry can do all the tap dancing and dog-and-pony shows they want, but the facts remain: Deadly chemical weap­ ons have been found in Iraq. I should point out, however, that history will consider the mass graves more of a sticking point, when it vindicates this war as the latest global humanitarian gift from the United States. Alex Heltzel Mechanical engineering Ph.D. program Facts, FOX, flukes, nukes I must say that I have become sickened with the state of media bias in this country, left or right. It has reached the point that we can no longer be sure if what we are reading is the truth. Every day, I go to two Web sites to read about the news: cnn.com and foxnews. com. I have to go to two, because I can't tell which one is telling the truth. For example, it has been recent­ ly reported on FOX News that President Bush may have been correct about Iraqi efforts to obtain uranium from Africa, but there hasn't been so much of a peep of that on CNN. If that's true, then it should be reported. CNN seemed to have no trouble making Bush's "16 words" the biggest story in the world, so why shouldn't this one be? It works the other way as well. We also are getting poll results from both sources that say different things. One says Kerry is leading; the other says Bush is. Look, CNN, if you want to be liberal, be liberal. FOX, if you want to be conservative, be con­ servative. But when it comes to straight news and facts, just tell me what the hell happened. No smiles for chemical weapons Richard Gentry claims in his David Smalling UT alum 5 Thursday. August 5. 2 0 0 4 BRIEFS Lifelong music teacher, former fine arts school dean dies at 92 Nelson G. Patrick, a longtime Texas music educator and former UT School of Fine Arts dean, died Saturday at the age of 92. Patrick's lifelong education career began in 1920 when he started teaching music at an elementary school in Premont. Patrick worked at sev­ eral schools around the state and had a brief tour of duty in the U.S. Army in Europe during WWII before returning to Texas to teach and finish his graduate degree in music at Texas Tech. Nelson Patrick Patrick began teaching at the University in 1960, and during his 42-year career in the College of Fine Arts he taught a variety of classes, ranging from the physics of acoustics to orches­ tration and band arranging. He also briefly served as associate dean and acting dean of the school. Patrick also acted as state director for music in the University Scholastic League from 1961 to 1984, and orga­ nized and directed Longhorn Music Camps. “Dr. Patrick was a man of great integrity, and he was tireless in his work with young people,” said Morris Be achy, a professor emeritus in the Department of Music. “People would come to him as a father figure to ask him for advice in music as well as life.” Funeral services will be held in Hillsboro, Texas. — Nikki Buskey U. Colorado desegregates’ education class, apologizes BOULDER, Colo. — University of Colorado-Boulder students who threatened to sue CU last week over an education class that was reserved for students of color or first-generation col­ lege students claimed victory Tuesday when CU announced it made a mistake. Capitulating to the terms laid out by the students' attorney, Robert J. Corry, CU sent an e-mail Tuesday to students enrolled in and waitlisted for the School of Education class “School and Society,” clarifying that a section of the class in question is not restricted only to racial minorities and students who are the first in their family to go to college. Controversy arose from a July 27 email sent to students advertising the class section, for which CU said it was attempting to recruit a “critical mass” of minority students. An academic advisor told one student who attempted to register for the section that he could only enroll if he met one of the two require ments — he must be a first-gen­ eration university attendee or a student of color. School of Education Dean Lorrie Shepard defended the restricted section in the media, saying it was not against uni­ versity policy or state regula­ tions because the restrictions were not solely based on race. However, Corry and his clients argued that since students of color were not required to be first-generation to enroll, the class section was essentially "separate but equal." a status that does not historically meet constitutional muster. — U-Wire www. dailytexanonllne. com News Editor: Will Krueger Phone: (512) 23 2-2206 U n i v e r s i t y T h e D a i l y T e x \ n University joining major telescope consortium Giant Magellan Telescope’s design $350 million project to be based in Chile, com pleted by 2 0 15 By Andrew Tran Daily Texan Staff The University is joining Texas A&M University and several other institutions to build what could be the most power­ ful telescope*on Earth. With the Hubble Space Telescope set to be retired in less than 12 years, the Giant Magellan Telescope Consortium aims to build a $350 million telescope in Chile that several organizations can share. The University is joining with A&M to generate a combined $2.5 mil­ lion to join the consortium, which aims to complete the telescope by 2015. "This will be one of the largest col­ laborations between two flagship uni­ versities in the state," said Ed Fry, head of the A&M physics department. Over two years, UT will match the $1.25 million A&M has contributed to the project. Other investors in the consor­ tium include the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Harvard University the Astrophysical Observatory, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Arizona and the University of Michigan. Sm ithsonian A&M's contribution to the project was a gift from George P. Mitchell, an A&M graduate and longtime benefactor. Mitchell said he hopes the project w ill attract young scientists and students who want to further their interests in physics and cosmology. UT and A&M's contributions have allowed the casting of the first of seven mirrors that make up the telescope to get underway beneath the football stadium at the University of Arizona. The telescope will consist of six 8.4- meter-wide mirrors, surrounding a seventh central mirror, all on steerable mounting. The combination of mirrors enhances the area to equal that of a single 21- meter-wide mirror. In comparison, UT's Hobby-Eberlv Telescope at McDonald Observatory in West Texas, one of the w o rld 's largest telescopes, has mirrors with a combined effectiveness of a mirror that is only 10 meters wide. "The more collecting area you have in mirrors, the more light you collect," said David Lambert, director of the McDonald Observatory. With more than double the overall mirror capacity of the largest land tele­ scopes that exist today, the GMT will collect five times more light than those, Lambert said. He said the telescope will also collect 70 times more light than the Hubble Space Telescope and will be able to pro­ duce images 10 times sharper. The $350 million project will be based in Chile, mostly because of the telescope- friendly atmospheric quality, Lambert said. "First, there will be very little blurring, due to the atmosphere there," he said. "Second, they have a large number of clear nights, and third, the lead organi­ zation behind the GMT, Carnegie, has had an observation facility there for 20 years, minimizing the need to create new roads." Joining the consortium is a way of keeping UT astronomy "a top player in the field of astronomy," Lambert said, adding that he looks forward to working with scientists at A&M. We can have a bigger astronomy presence in Texas working together instead of working independently," he said. The GMT will be able to get a glimpse at some of the youngest galaxies in the universe, he said. "Right now, we know bf 100 planets around stars, but we don't detect them ... We only notice the star is wobbling back and forth. But with this telescope, we should be able to take images of some of the planets, and that would be a tremendous breakthrough," Lambert said.

U F scientists say birds’ ancestor may have flown HfiS Technoloev a llo w s Technology allows scientists to detect finger-size fossil By Alice Wu Daily Texan Staff Scientists have long debated whether the archaeopteryx, a bird that lived 147 million years ago, could fly. Computer-imaging models created at the University's High- Resolution X-ray Computed Tomography Facility have pro­ vided strong evidence suggest­ ing it could, researchers announced Thursday. that The images indicate the ani­ mal's brain could handle deli­ cate flight functions, said project leader Timothy Rowe, a director of the UTCT. "We are the first to get the images," Rowe said. Rowe said the facility's com- puted-tomography scanner gave researchers a chance to see the inside of an archaeopteryx fos­ sil specimen that was found in Germany in 1861. Previously, scientists argued about whether archaeopteryx could fly but did not have the technology to examine fossils of the animal's brain, Rowe said. Before the recent breakthrough, most research involved fossils of the animal's feathers, he added. Images of the skull generated by the CT scanner may finally provide an answer, he said. Rowe said the images show that the specimen's brain size and s& n'sbramsizeand ‘^ its large midbrain region are very similar to those of many modem birds. The midbrain region is where ear-and-eye communication helps birds to fly. The UTCT facility researchers have spent two years working on this fossil, which was brought from London's Natural History Museum by Angela Milner, the museum's curator. There are only seven archaeop­ teryx fossils in the world that are accessible to researchers, Rowe said. "This is the most significant fossil," he said. UTCT has received about $1 million each year from the National Science Foundation since the lab was founded six years ago. "Certainly, it's one of the hard­ est projects, because this fossil is very small," Rowe said. He said the fossil is about the size of a small human finger. Another major obstacle to pro­ cessing the data was the density contrast between different parts of the fossil, Rowe added. "The contrasts between the bone and rock are not as good as we would have liked," he said. "Some scanning artifacts also complicated studying the fossil." Richard Ketcham, a research scientist and facility manager at the UTCT who worked with Rowe on the project, said he spent about three months removing artifacts that marred the images of the archaeopteryx fossil. Removing the artifacts was necessary so that scientists could use 3-D modeling software to reconstruct the size and features of the brain, Ketcham said. Team members said the finding further supports the idea of the archaeopteryx as a link between dinosaurs and birds. "Birds are living representa­ tives of dinosaurs," said Julian Humphries, a research scientist associate at the UTCT. He said the finding marks the first time sci­ entists have studied an animal's brain features to almost confirm dinosaurs could fly. "[The finding] is very impor­ tant for studying the origins of flight," Ketcham added. Research data and pictures from the project are available on UT's Digital Morphology Library Web site at http://www.digimorph. org. By Dan Lewerenz The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Surely, there's someone out there who needs six factory-sealed, 100-pound cans of freon. Officials at Penn State University just hope that someone is on eBay. Last year, the university's sal­ vage and surplus department raised more than $90,000 selling used or unneeded equipment on eBay. As colleges and universi­ ties absorb budget cuts, some are turning to the online auction site to get rid of their more unusual, hard-to-price pieces. "More and more, we're seeing that we're getting more money through eBay than we are through our traditional methods," said Jim Dunlop, director of procure­ ment sendees for Penn State. Salvage and surplus opera­ tions have long been a part of college life, especially at large, public universities. Dorm furni­ ture, lab equipment, even office artwork needs to be replaced eventually, and university sur­ plus warehouses end up looking like the set of "Sanford and Son," where there's one of everything and always a deal to be made. But traditional means of dump­ ing unwanted items — campus surplus stores and live auctions — only go so far. After all, once Penn State Public Broadcasting is done with it, who in central Pennsylvania needs a 15-section radio tower? "We were having live auctions here once a month, and we were flooding the market in our area for what we had available," said Patsy Hendricks, surplus prop­ erty supervisor at Oregon State University. "We sold pallets of glassware, scientific glassware, for $10, $15. We knew there was a better way to do this." The idea is catching on. It was after a visit to Oregon State that Penn State first began using eBay, said Will Gallaher, manager of Penn State Salvage and Surplus. Michigan State and Washington State universities also sell on eBay; the University of Washington, in addition to using eBay, has web­ cast its live auctions, allowing people to participate from around the world. A Hammond organ here, an ice cream machine there, and various and sundry nuts, bolts and gaug­ es generated a decent revenue stream for Penn State. But it was a globe with a wooden stand sold in September 2001 that convinced Gallaher and Pam Coffman, who handles the university's eBay sales, that eBay was for real. "Years ago, we'd sell one for $300, $400, $500, and people usu­ ally throw the globe away and put in a piece of glass or some­ thing and make a nice table out of it," Gallaher said. Not this time. A museum in the Netherlands paid $11,600 for the globe, then paid movers to pack it up and ship it overseas. Since then, Penn State has sold three pianos, a Moog synthesizer, a doughnut machine, an ion syn­ THINK YOU HAVE ADD? •Evaluation •Treatment • Medication «2nd Opinion C E N T E R S D I ADHD DOBIE MALL c>rr 340.0000 TRIPLE FEATURE DISCOUNT! _ A T R E . ” C heck o ur w e b site Hr 4elM»l SUNDAY Our Country: 1, 4, 8 pm NASCAR 3-D: 3. 7 pm Coral Reef Adventure: 2,6 pm Texas: The Big Picture: 5 pm MONDAY - THURSDAY Our Country: 11 am. 1,4,8pm NASCAR 3-D: 12, 3, 7 pm Coral Reef Adventure: 2, 6 pm Texas: The Big Picture: 10 am, 5 pm FRIDAY - SATURDAY Our Country: 11 am, 1, 4, 8 pm NASCAR 3-D: 12, 3,7, 10 pm Coral Reef Adventure: 2,6, 9 pm Texas: The Big Picture. 10 am, 5 pm The Bob Bullock Texas State History MuseUm 1800 N.

Traditional paleontol­ ogy methods could have destroyed the rare fossil, which is the most significant of only seven available worldwide. thesizer and other assorted oddities on eBay. But for all its successes, eBay isn't for every college. Mark Ludwig, manager if Iowa State University Surplus, said he doesn't have the personnel to photograph and describe every item for an eBay sale and that he doesn't have the space to store things while the auc­ tion takes place. A bigger problem for many state universities are laws regulating the disbursement of state property or limiting contracts the state can enter into. Tim Sell, business manager for SWAP, the surplus sale operation for the University of Wisconsin and the state, said he spent nearly two years trying to work out a wav to sell Wisconsin's surplus items on eBay, but ended up setting up his own auction site. It generated about $280,000 in sales in its first year, but Sell said he'd still prefer to use eBay, which reaches a wider audience. And when you're selling such a motley assortment, the wider the audience the better. "You look at something, and you think there's no way anybody's going to pay good money for that, and then ifs the first thing out the door the next sale," Ludwig said. "The saying, 'One man's junk is another man's treasure' — it s abso­ lutely true." Houstonians G oing hom e for the w eekend just got a lot easier!

The Tuesday accident in the golf course community Village of the Hills, about 15 miles west of Austin, left the twin propeller plane in pieces and caused a huge fireball that burned part of the two-story house. National Transportation Safety Board investigator Leah Yeager said a witness who was moni­ toring the radio frequency used by pilots at the Lakeway Airpark reported hearing a pilot moments before the crash saying: "O h God, I'm in trouble. I have three people with me." The pilot did not identify him­ self or the plane. The plane that crashed went down less than two miles from the airpark. The trans­ mission was not recorded. The plane had refueled at the airpark and witnesses told inves­ tigators it had trouble gaining alti­ tude after takeoff. It then plunged in a nosedive into a retaining wall off the back of the house before plowing into the back patio area. Killed in the crash were Curtis Treadwell, his wife Jennifer, their two young children, and Jason Jones. Curtis Treadwell owned Monarch Homes in Oklahoma City, and Jones owned Broadway Homes in Edmond, Okla. The the pilot was Richard Fisher, owner of Oklahoma City-based Aviation Flight Specialists. Three people who were in the house escaped unharmed. Federal Aviation Administration records showed that the pilot had two crash landings in similar twin- engine planes, one in 2002 and the other earlier this year. There was no indication that anyone was injured in those accidents. In the 2002 incident, Fisher reported loss of engine power as he approached his landing at an airport near Oklahoma City. In April, FAA records show Fisher encountered heavy tailwind on a landing, forcing him to go off a runway and crash through a barbed-wire fence. Fi sher also had two FAA enforce­ ment actions pending against him. An agency spokesman said more details would not be released until those cases were closed. im pact Although of the Tuesday's crash and resulting fire left the plane in small pieces, Peduzzi said investigators would try to gather as much of the plane as they can. Investigators could issue a pre­ liminary report as early as next week. A final report could be up to a year away. Peduzzi said investi­ gators will also study the pilot's flying records as well as recent maintenance on the aircraft. The plane was a Smith Aerostar 601P, designed to carry six people. Chris Dance, spokesman for the Maryland-based Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, said before Tuesday's crash the Aerostar 601P model had been involved in 25 accidents since 1983, according to NTSB data. He said as many as eight incidents resulted in fatali­ ties. "Pilots who fly it, as long as you treat it with the respect it deserves, say it is a good aircraft," Dance said. He said the heat, which reached into the 90s on Tuesday, could have played a factor in the crash. "An aircraft with a full load on a hot day is not going to climb as efficiently. The engine will not generate as much power," he said. "Pilots are trained to factor that in." Joe Bain, president of Lakeway Airpark Inc., said Tuesday's crash was the first to cause an injury or death in the airpark's 60-year history. "We're just devastated that peo­ ple had to die here," Bain said. Elizabeth Hernandez I Daily Texan Staff Danielle Wang, a civil engineering senior, pauses for a moment to look at her presentation board of 2001 news clips about her family. Wang made the board for a government class presentation. “ I did not know at first what happened. I just could not make contact with my dad at home or at his work. I got really worried. Then, after five months of knowing no whereabouts of my father, I saw him on a CNN report. That was the last time I saw him,” Wang said. In 1999, Wang's father was arrested in China and sentenced to 16 years in prison. His crime was practic­ ing Falun Gong, a combination of yoga-like exercises and meditations surrounding the three principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. China launched a persecution against any Falun Gong practitioners. Wang protested and did her best to build support for her father’s release and for others like him. Consequently, she received threats not to go back to China. "I had to stop what I was doing, because they threatened to harm my dad,' Wang said. “ I can’t go back to China now, so the only place I will stay is America, and I will work here.” — Elizabeth Hernandez Hundreds of Texas school districts moving school finance battle to courtroom By Kelley Shannon The Associated Press The Texas school finance strug­ gle that fizzled at the state Capitol is moving to the courtroom. Lawyers for hundreds of dis­ tricts are about to begin pressing their claims that the state inad­ equately funds education and that the existing system amounts to an unconstitutional statewide prop­ erty tax. Judge John Dietz will decide the case in a trial beginning Monday that could last more than a month. It's almost certain the judge's rul­ ing w ill be appealed. What's far from certain is what school funding system Texas will move toward in the coming months. The Legislature has yet to agree on a plan, even though most lawmakers say they want a new system that's equitable for all districts and provides property tax relief for homeowners. Rich and poor districts alike are waging the court fight. "This current school funding crisis has done what many thought was impossible. It has united the different school districts in Texas," said George Bramblett, one of the attorneys for the districts that filed suit. for Attorneys the state are defending the existing system as constitutional. The state's share-the-wealth funding nicknam ed "Robin Hood" by some, is heavily reliant on local property taxes. system , Some school districts complain the tax limit is an unconstitutional act by the state and that it prevents districts from raising the money they need to run schools. Other districts are most concerned about funding the overall education level, or lack of it, provided by the state. Since the failure of a special legis­ lative session called by Republican Gov. Rick Perry in April, in which lawmakers couldn't agree on a school funding plan, talk around the Capitol has centered around when Perry might call another special session. Perry said one would need to be held by August for lawmak­ ers to pass legislation calling for a constitutional amendment that could then go before Texas voters in November.

A look at cu rre n t and form er Longhorns spending Vugust in Ythens T h e Daily T exan I , " - I Thomas hopes to find role in Houston he formed a talented trio along with Roy Williams and B.J. Johnson. However, Williams was the anointed star of the group, with the Detroit Lions selecting him seventh in last year's draft. Johnson was picked up by Denver after the draft. Thomas quietly played through a hamstring injury last year and caught only 20 passes for 336 yards two touchdowns while developing a reputation as a blocker. He usually was men­ tioned third when the Texas trio was listed, and in Houston he'll be lower than that. "I was prepared for it. I knew being drafted in the seventh round, they had some guys already playing, so I'm just playing my role/' he said. "First-round picks don't have to do all that, but I wasn't a first-round pick, so what­ ever they ask me to do I'm going to do." He isn't in the five-player mix competing for the punt return job. His ticket onto the team will have to come via punt coverage as the gunner, the outside man assigned to race downfield and make the first contact with the retymer. Where he'll fit into the receiving mix is uncertain. Andre Johnson, Corey Bradford and Jabar Gaffney are the top three receivers. Sure-handed Derick Armstrong is probably the fourth, and diminutive J.J. Moses will stick if he retains the punt return job. If Moses isn't kept, Thomas must compete against a host of would-be backup receivers. If it came down to a foot race, Thomas proba­ bly could count on joining his hometown team. "He's a good athlete who has speed," Capers said. "What Sloarr has to do is come out every day and show some things on the practice field." That said, Capers says the Texans probably won't have to rely on a rookie — or maybe even play a rookie — all year on offense. "He is the head coach. He's been doing this for years and years and years, and what he says goes," Thomas said. "But anything can happen throughout the year." www. dailytexanonline. com Sports Editor: Connor Higgins E-mail: sports@dailytexanonline.com Phone: (512) 232-2210 Sl DEI.INK % I S Walker leaving Dallas, taking Delk with him Antoine Walker and Tony Delk were traded Wednesday to the Atlanta Hawks for Jason Terry, Alan Henderson and a first-round pick.

NFL By Mark Babineck The Associated Press HOUSTON — Sloan Thomas made his reputation at The University of Texas with speed, even if he lived in the shadows of bet­ ter-known receivers. Thomas knows he'll need more than speed to make the Houston Texans. He'll have to impress coaches on special teams, a job con­ sidered drudgery in college but important on coach Dom Capers' team. "I knew that before I came in here that I'd have to do a lot of special teams," Thomas said. "There's nothing I'm not willing to do. I'm willing to do anything to make the team." That could be tricky as a seventh-round draft choice who plays a position where the third- year Texans happen to be relatively deep. Plus, Thomas hasn't been relied upon before to work on other special teams. After all, he was a standout receiver from suburban Houston and a prized recruit at Texas, where Once a prized Longhorn recruit out of Houston, Sloan Thomas, along with Detroit Lions rookie Roy Williams and Denver Broncos post­ draft pickup B.J. Johnson, was once looked at as part of a trio of outstanding wide receivers. Now at training camp with the Houston Texans, Thomas is “wiling to do anything" to make the team. Depth at wide receiver likely means Thomas will have to find a spot some­ where else. Becoming a special teams asset as a gunner won’t hurt. 3hoto courtesy of :he Houston Texans ousted, Vinny’s the man this summer hoping for a chance to start again. And the Cowboys traded for Drew Henson, a top prospect out of Michigan who spent the past three years playing baseball in the New York Yankees' minor league system. Parcells said Testaverde would start when the Cowboys play their season opener Sept. 12 at Minnesota. The coach plans to spend as much time in camp as possible getting Henson and sec­ ond-year quarterback Tony Romo ready to play. "Vinn)?s a very unselfish play­ er. He'll do his very best to moni­ tor and help Henson and Romo," Parcells said. "I'm comfortable with the player, and our team will be comfortable with the player." Testaverde was a Pro Bowl selection in 1998, when he led the New York Jets to the AFC title game under Parcells, but he lost his starting job to Chad Pennington two seasons ago. "I know this is just the beginning of it. I know I have to continue to work very hard to improve on what I have to do," Testaverde said after the first practice without Carter. "I'm given an opportunity to go in and take over, and I'm going to do my best to do that and keep this thing going, keep it on track the way it was." The coach spoke to the team about Carter's departure after Wednesday's practice, but play­ ers declined to comment on what he said.

Just four days after he started camp as the No. 1 quarterback, Carter was suddenly gone from a team he led to 10 wins and back to the playoffs in Bill Parcells' first season. Owner Jerry Jones and Parcells were vague about why they released Carter, who started every game in 2003 and was the opening-game starter each of his three years. "We've made a decision to move in a different direction," Jones said. "We're not going to get in a lot of detail on the process." Jones wouldn't specifically answer questions about reports that Carter failed a drug test or say if the move was based on non­ football issues. "I think that we should leave it at it just was not a difficult deci­ sion, and not get into a definition of what it was about," Jones said. ESPN.com, FoxSports.com and CBSSportsLine.com, citing unidentified NFL sources, reported that Carter had failed a drug test. The NFL had no comment. all Carter's agent, Eugene Parker, did not return calls seeking com­ ment. The quarterback left camp soon after being informed of the decision by Parcells and Jones and wasn't available. Parcells said just this week that Carter had "a leg up" at quarter­ back. After the first camp work­ out Saturday, Carter said he was confident of remaining the starter and didn't consider himself in an open competition for the job. The coach wouldn't say why there was such a drastic change in direction. "I just couldn't keep him in the plans," Parcells said. "I'm sad­ dened by this because I've got 18 months invested in it ... two offseason programs and a regular season and a playoff game." Asked why the decision wasn't made earlier, Parcells said, "We only make decisions based on the information we have." The Cowboys went 10-6 last season as Carter threw for 3,302 yards. He had 21 interceptions and 17 touchdowns.

A day after losing 95-78 to unheralded Italy, the U.S. play­ ers celebrated their last-gasp tri­ umph against Germany as though they had won an NBA champi­ onship. When Iverson's second three-pointer in the final one-and- a-half minutes went through the net, two-time league MVP Tim Duncan raised a finger to the sky as if to say, "We're No. 1!" Other team members piled atop Iverson on the court. "That was great. It felt good because it was the first time in my life I hit a buzzer-beater like that," Iverson said. "That's what basket­ ball is all about." Duncan led the Americans with 19 points, followed by Carmelo Anthony with 16 and Iverson with 15. But the United States again struggled against a team thought to be no competition. The Germans' top plaver, Dallas Mavencks All-Star Dirk Nowitzki, appeared to have sent the game to overtime by making a three-pointer over two defenders to tie the score at 77 with 3.2 seconds left. Nowitzki scored a game-high 32 points. But Iverson, a U.S. co-captain, came through with his own clutch shot, one day after calling the upset rou t against Ita ly "a w akeup call." That 17-point difference was the largest margin of defeat for an NBA-stocked U.S. team. "We made a lot of improve­ ments over the game last night, but we have a long ways to go," U.S. coach Larry Brown said. One of Iverson's other four three-pointers came with 1:18 left, staking the Americans to a 75-72 lead. Nowitzki cut that deficit to 75-74 with two free throws with 35 seconds to go. Anthony, the Denver Nuggets' star rookie, made two foul shots to make it 77-74, setting up the final long-distance drama. The Americans held a slim lead early, never leading by more than five points, until Nowitzki's six straight points on jumpers lifted the Germans to a 59-56 lead with 2:40 left in the third quarter. "I think w e’re getting better. Just to get a win in a place like this — the crowd was really into it.” The Americans showed more intensity and better defense from the start than against Italy. Iverson set the tone in the open­ ing minutes, hounding German point guard Steffen Hamann until jarring the ball loose and finishing a fastbreak with a layup. "It's my job to set an example on defense, and then the others will follow," the 76ers guard said. But the Germans, who beat Italy 85-77 three days ago, lacked the stellar outside shooters that proved so hard to handle for the U.S. team against the Italians. Instead, the hosts relied on Nowitzki and plenty of support from the crowd of 18,000. "I think we're getting better. Just to get a win in a place like this — the crowd was really into it," Iverson said. "We have to get usecj to it in Athens. Everybody will be rooting against us. So this will be a good test for us." The U.S. team plays its first game in Athens against Puerto Rico on Aug. 15 as it tries to w in a fourth straight gold medal since NBA players were allowed to compete at the Olympics. The Americans' next exhibition game is against Serbia-Montenegro. Germany failed to qualify for the Olympics becaase it lost to Italy in qualifying. The Germans won the bronze medal at the 2002 World Championships. 8 C l .

"I feel like Kanye, he thinks o u tsid e of the box as a p ro ducer and as an artist," said Usher, in explaining w h y he chose West for th e coveted spot as his o p e n ­ ing act on his tour. in co m p a riso n But it's been the a rtist in West that h as taken him from beh ind the scenes to the forefront. Far from the average rapper, W est's o rig in ality to his peers is striking. His videos — "Jesus W alks" h as three dif­ ferent versions alone — a c tu ­ ally have p lo ts and are visually captivating w ith o u t resorting to a bevy of d ancing girls in biki­ nis. Instead of the th u g look, he ad m its he looks m ore like "C arlton," the p re p p y rich kid from the Will Smith sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." A nd in his m usic, rather th an boasting about his riches, he adm its he buys expensive jew elry just to feel validated. "Every ra p p e r w as the king o f ... 'I can d o this an d not go to jail, you know w hat I'm saying?' M ine just cam e out from a totally different perspective," he says. I'm very creative. I alw ays w ant to d o som ething different from w hat everybody else is doing, ever since I w as little." "A n d Ah, that healthy dose of self- confidence ap p ears once again. But West d o esn 't care w h ether you think h e 's cocky or crazy, just as long as you know "The College D ropout" is a classic. "I tried really hard, an d I know I gave m y all on this album ," he explains, show ing a bit of the vulnerability he spoke of ea r­ lier w hen he talks ab o u t the rare non-glow ing review. "I know I can 't m ake a song in five m inutes like Jay, so w h at I'm gonna do, I'm going to take • five days, b u t I'm going to try and m ake it som ew here near as good. T hat's w hat I did w ith m y album , an d I ju st w an ted credit for that. A nd it h urt. Those review s that I got h u rt." Besides, he asks: "W ould you classify this album as a B, given w h at you heard?" By Nekesa Mumbi Moody The A ss o cia te d P re s s NEW YORK — K anye W est's “T h e C ollege d e b u t alb u m , D ropout," is a m asterful piece of w ork that shou ld be m entioned am ong the classic albu m s of o u r time. I hat's w hat West thinks. A nd he'll tell you so — again and again and again. "You can 't judge 'T he College D ropout.' It's so m ething com ­ pletely different," the 27-year- old m usician declared in a recent interview w ith The A ssociated Press. "It's definitely a classic, if I stepped aside from m yself and say t h a t ... We'll see the results in the next six m onths, of w h e th er it did change the gam e o r w h eth er it is it's ow n entity." Those kind of d e cla ra tio n s have earned the blazing y oung rap per and su p e rh o t pro d u cer the rep u tatio n of being, w ell, a bit arrogant. Yet it's h ard to blam e him w hen "D ro p o u t" has sjpld m ore than 2 m illion copies and is being hailed by m ost crit­ ics and fans as the an sw er to a stag n an t rap scene. From the clever, th o u g h t-p ro ­ voking "All Falls D o w n " to the religious fervor of his latest sin­ gle, "Jesus W alks," to the w itty skits and clever rhy m es, the album takes a w elcom e d eto u r from m aterialistic, violent hip- h o p fare to subject m atter th a t's m ore substantial and m ore real­ istic. "I like a p p rec iate p eo p le Kanye, people that dare to be dif­ ferent. H ip-hop is su p p o sed to be an avenue of expression, and people are su p posed to be able to express w hat they feel, w h at they believe," said the recently ra p p e r Ma$E, w h o u n re tire d d ro p p ed a verse on the "Jesus W alks" remix. But it's not only K anye's rap career th a t's g o tte n p e o p le 's attention. H e's becom e one of to d ay 's m ost prolific producers, w o rk in g w ith ev e ry o n e from L udacris to B randy to A licia Keys. "H e definitely p u t his foot in the gam e w ith h is style of m usic. H e's the b eat m an ," said Tw ista, w ho h a d his first N o. 1 hit this y ea r th a n k s to W est w ith th e h u m o ro u s sm a sh "S low Jam z," featu rin g W est an d actor Kanye W est, above, feels that his debut is a sh apeshiftin g album for hip-hop. “The College D ropout” has sold m ore than 2 m illion copies. Photo courtesy of The Associated Press Jam ie Foxx. Even a life-th reaten in g car accident in 2002 d id n 't defer his dream s — he tu rn ed the experi­ ence into a hit single, recording a song about the crash an d rapp in g w ith his jaw w ired sh u t on the clever "T hrough the Wire." The chorus featu red W est's m uch- im itated tra d e m a rk so u n d , a sp e d -u p sam ple of a soul clas­ sic, in this case C haka K han's "T hrough the Fire." "M y thing is, how can I pos­ sibly [be] overly confident? Look at m y accom plishm ents!" says West, in betw een breaks sketch­ ing o u t d esig n s for his n e w ­ est project, launching his ow n sneaker. Yet the Chicago native (and tru e college d ro p o u t, from C hicago State) adm its that m uch of his exuber­ ance is just an act, a m ental trick to give him the confidence he needs to succeed in the rough- an d -tu m b le m usic w orld. in his next breath, "I say in m y songs, I'm so insecure. So a lot of tim es, arro­ gance is to com bat insecurity. So in o rd er for me to go o u t and do w hat I've done, facing insecurity and facing people telling m e 1 c o u ld n 't do it, 1 had to build a force field arou n d myself," he explains. "I had to be a borderline lu n a­ tic to think that I could d o w hat I've done. It's crazy ... w h at I've accom plished is crazy," he says. W est's rise to the top m ay not be crazy, b u t it certainly is the stuff rap fairy tales are m ad e of. D raw n to rap since child­ hood, he set his sights on being the next superstar. But instead of just dream in g a b o u t it, he took action. He got his m oth ­ er, a college professor, to lend him m oney to buy an expensive keyboard w hen he w as a teen so he could w ork on his tunes, and later, started han gin g o u t in clubs to taste the scene. "I th ough t I w as going to get signed back w hen I w as 13 years old, and come o u t w ith a record and take Kris Kross out," he said of the '90s kiddie-rap group. K anye actually got an o p p o r­ tunity for stardom a few years ago — West recalls C olum bia Records dangling a record con­ tract, and it helped contribute to his decision to dro p o u t of school. But he d id n 't have the big gam e to back up his big talk back then, and it m ay have cost him a deal. "I said, I'm going to be bigger than M ichael Jackson, I'm going to bigger to Jerm aine D upri. I said th at to (C olum bia executive) M ichael M auldin," not know ing that he w as D u p ri's father. W hether that to rp ed o ed the deal or not, by the tim e the m eet­ ing w as over, "they hit m e w ith those three w o rd s — w e'll call you. They sent lim os on the w ay up, and w hen I got d o w n stairs I c o u ld n 't even catch a cab." He d id n 't give up o n his dream s, instead using producing to get his foot in the door. And he kicked it w ide open w hen he provided Jay-Z w ith the beat to his sm ash "ízzo (H.O.V.A)." The hit not only m ade W est's stock soar as a producer, it eventually led to a deal that m ade him the latest m em ber of Jay-Z's Roc-a- fella label. " That w as the tu rn in g point in m y life. Jay m ad e all the differ­ ence," West says. "I can 't say that I w o u ld n 't have d o n e it w ith­ o u t him, b u t he m ade it easier because he gave m e a stam p, he gave m e the streets. The Roc- a-fella chain helped me get m y nam e." O ne of the reason W est has som e of the ho ttest records is because h e's offered som ething different. He introduced the rap w orld to sp ed -u p sam ples, yet h e's also been diverse enough A rtist: The Old 9 7 ’s Album: “ Drag It U p” Label: New W est R ecords |O i Jamaican superstar Beenie Man apologizes for lyrics It's been a long three years since the O ld 97's last cap tu red the pu b lic's atten tio n w ith "Satellite Rides," a near-flaw less collection of stream lined alt-country gem s th at sho w ed just how m arketable a g ro u p w hose stated m ission w as to fuse Elvis C ostello w ith H a n k W illiam s could be.

The m ain recordings are taken from live sessions in an aban­ doned church, w hich show cases the b an d 's perfect synchronicity and w orks as both a cham ber for the rolling hym ns to heartbreak and a party barn for the all-out rockers — of w hich there are several, like the exuberantly bit­ ter "The N ew Kid."

"A s a h u m a n being, I renounce violence to w ard o th e r h u m a n beings in every way, an d pledge henceforth to u p h o ld these val­ ues as I m ove forw ard in my career as an artist."

The new joint, "Live at M CG w ith Special G uest K urt tan talizin g Elling," delivers a perform ance, in w hich m odern- day jazzers relay tunes from days p ast and days now, com bining nostalgic M intzer originals and a few stan d ard s in a show case of m usicianship at its finest. A veteran of the jazz scene a n d a nam e as h o u seh o ld as K enm ore, M intzer is regarded to m an y as a living legend. A side from being a tenor and soprano saxophonist, M intzer also plays flute, clarinet, EWI (Electronic W ind Instrum ent) and is w orld- ren o w n ed as a com poser, arran g ­ er a n d educator. O ne w o n d ers if th ere's anything he c an 't do. k n o w M in tz e r M a n y as ■ .. jazz q u a rte t, the fro n tm an of the critically the acclaim ed Yellow Jackets. But in this v en­ ture, Bob proves that the g ro u p effort is m ore im portant, taking on the roll of team player, occa­ sionally m aking M intz-m eat of the chord changes w ith his m ad solo chops. T hough the band belongs to the M intzer, this album is really all about K urt Elling, w h o 's given free reign on the three tracks that he ap pears on. From his velvety rendition of "M y Foolish H eart" to his eccentric scatting spots, his exquisite vocals steal the show every tim e he opens his m outh. D uring the course of H erbie H ancock's "Eye of the H urricane," he yodels, quotes the them e to "Close E ncounters of the Third K ind," q uotes C o ltran e's "Mr. PC" and flaunts glass-shattering high notes. W ith a range that extends beyond the stratosphere and creativity to boot, Elling's vocals m ake for a nice m arriage to the Bob M intzer experience. O nce a thing of the past, Big Band is b rought back into the lim elight thanks to the efforts of Mintzer, crew and bad-boy K urt Elling. An exercise in sm ooth­ ness, this album proves an easy listen. The only problem w ith this album is that it's too refined. The m usic com es through nicely, but the em otion doesn't. — P atrick B.
