"It's already been decided by the Legislature that this is a general w ay to ascer­ tain the valid ity of a high-school diploma." Rob ert Ram os, a lib e ra l arts junior, said he also doubted that the test contains cultural biases. " I don't buy it," he said. "The T A A S is just supposed to test basic skills."

Quake kills 400 in Taiwan Associated Press TAIPEI, Taiw an — The strongest quake in Taiwan in decades jolted the island early Tuesday, killing at least 400 people, wrecking a 12-story hotel in Taipei and destroying more than 100 hom es nationw ide, the govern­ ment said. About 2,000 people were injured. The quake had a preliminary mag­ nitude of 7.6, the U.S. Geological Sur­ vey's National Earthquake Inform a­ tion Center said. It also issued warn­ ings of possible tsunam is, or huge waves that sometimes follow earth­ quakes. The tem blor was about the same strength as the devastating one that stru ck T u rkey on Aug. 17, k illin g more than 15,000 people. Most of the victims were found in Taichung and nearby Nantou, the epi­ center 130 miles south of Taipei. Sev­ eral roads were buckled and traffic was disrupted, isolating many remote towns. H o sp itals in tow ns and cities in ce n tral Taiw an w ere p acked w ith injured people, and television stations urged doctors,’ nurses and others with medical training to join in the rescue work. Four-story residential buildings in T a ich u n g had c o lla p se d . W ater poured from ruptured mains and dis­ traught residents squatted with their h ead s in th e ir h an d s as re scu ers helped apparently unhurt survivors from the buildings. P resid en t Lee T en g -h u i flew by helicopter to Taichung to direct res­ cue work while Vice President Lien Chan went to Nantou. In Taipei, the island nation's capi­ tal, the quake wrecked the 78-room Sungshan Hotel, collapsing the bot­ tom sto ries and se ttin g the bad ly damaged top listing to one side. Fire crew s tu rn ed h o ses on the wreckage as smoke poured from fires raging in several destroyed rooms. Sixty people were still feared trapped in the b u ild in g , w ith 49 p eop le already evacuated and sent to the hospital and another 11 people evacu­ ated uninjured. A woman pulled from the wreck­ age urged rescuers to look for more injured. "Hurry, go rescue people. They're in there. T h ey 're in sid e ," said the u n id en tifie d w om an, w ho w as dressed in street clothes and did not appear to be injured. "I lived on the ninth floor, but now it's the fourth floor." Dirk Kempthome, the governor of Idaho who is visiting Taipei on an A sian trade m issio n , said he was sleeping in a top-floor room in the 25- story Grant Hyatt Regency in Taipei when the earthquake hit. "W e 'v e been th rou gh q u ite an experience," Kempthome said by tele­ phone from the street ou tsid e the hotel. "I think many of us thought we might be done for." Kempthome said the quake began as a g en tle sw ayin g, "an d then it increased in intensity until you were virtually thrown from the bed." Meanwhile, 50 people were report­ ed injured when a 12-story apartment building collapsed in the Taipei sub­ urb of Hsinchuang. An estimated 100 others were still trapped within the b u ild in g , w hich co llap sed o nto a neighboring five-story structure. In W ashington, President Clinton said he and Mrs. Clinton were "sad­ dened" by news of the quake. "W e are in touch directly with the Taiwan authorities to determine what assistance from the United States may be needed," he said. T u e sd a y 's qu ake w as T a iw a n 's worst since a 7.4-magnitude one hit the island in 1935, killing 3,276 peo­ ple. The latest quake struck at about 1:45 a.m., while most of Taiwan's 22 m illio n p eo p le w ere sleep in g . It knocked out electric service through­ out the northern part of the island. A T aiw an e se man is carried from a c o lla p s e d 12-story ho te l after an e a rly morning earthquake T u e sd a y in T aipe i. The U S G e o lo g ic a l S u r v e y N ttio n al Earthquake Information Center said the q u ake had a p r e iim in a rv m a g n itu d e of 7.6 and w a s centered 90 m iles s o u th w e st of T aip e i A P photo Aftermath of Floyd causes health concerns A sso c iate d P ress TARBORO, N.C. — Rotting live­ stock carcasses and floating sewage created a m ounting public health threat Monday across eastern North C arolina, still flooded days after H u rrica n e Floyd fo rced ten s of th o u sa n d s of p eop le from th e ir homes. At least 35 people were confirmed dead in North Carolina. The death toll was expected to climb, but of greatest concern was the health of those who survived. "There are a large number of dif­ ferent risks out there right now ," said Johanna Reese of the state Divi­ sion of Environmental Health. "The most immediate one we have is lack of safe drinking water." More than 60 people were killed from the Bahamas into New Eng­ land when Floyd churned up the East Coast of the United States. But the aftermath appears the worst in North Carolina. D isease has becom e a grow ing threat because of the hundreds of thousands of dead hogs, chickens and turkeys lying about the state. Drinking water has been tainted by overflow from*sewage plants and animal-waste lagoons. Floodwaters are fouled by fuel, farm chemicals and manure. Contaminated water could cause a host of gastrointestinal illnesses, and dehydration from severe vomit­ ing or diarrhea could be fatal in child ren , the elderly and people with weakened im m une systems, Reese said. "A lot of these people are down already. They're already weak, so they're at a greater risk," she said. National Guard helicopters and tru ck s d eliv ered clean d rin k in g w ater to sev eral cou n ties, w hile crews in Jones County brought in two industrial-size incinerators so workers could begin burning hog carcasses, the stench of which has filled the air. Som e of the anim als have been dead five days and could become a breeding ground for disease. State officials have asked for more incin­ erators to deal with an estim ated 100,000 hogs, 2.4 million chickens and 500,000 turkeys killed. State health officials also recom­ mended that residents get tetanus shots to protect them from infection from the filthy floodwater and wash up w ith hot, soapy w ater if they come in contact with it. O fficials with the U.S. Environ­ mental Protection Agency said more than a m illio n gallon s of w a ste­ water, possibly containing chromi­ um, spilled at the Occidental Chem­ ical plant in Castle Hayne. EPA in v e stig a to rs w ere also assessing a potential threat of mer­ cury contamination from a contain­ ment pond at the HoltraChem plant in Riegelwood. On top of that, h ealth o fficials warned that mosquitoes will be out in force because of all the standing w ater and cou ld sp re ad d ead ly encephalitis. And when that water recedes, the death toll may rise. Meanwhile, in New Jersey, more than 1 million people were under ord ers to boil th e ir tap w ater because the flooding may have con­ taminated it. Utility companies from the Carolinas to New York worked to fully restore pow * r to customers.

" -Article X, Section 4, Student Government Constitution. Does anyone else see a problem here? Until yesterday, the Student Govern­ ment didn t. As far as they knew, there was nothing wrong with their endorse­ ment of Proposition 17, a measure to modify how the University spends its endowment. After Monday"s little revelation, sparked by a student's threat of legal action, SG declared the resolution in support of Prop. 17 unconstitutional. That no one in the Student Government office thought to read their own con­ stitution carefully before yesterday is deeply disturbing. But the fact that the clause exists at all is a far more troubling issue. Why? Because its implications could threaten free speech on this campus. No one stops The Daily Texan from making its endorsements each semester for various elective offices. Why shouldn't the Student Government be allowed to do the same? Here s the reasoning: SG, as an institution which receives student fee monev and is elected by the student body shouldn't be interfering with politics, since it can't claim to speak for 50,000 people. Welcome to representative democracy. You're not always going to agree with your leaders — that doesn't mean they should keep their mouths shut every time someone might disagree with them. If we followed that logic, this page would be blank everyday. After all, your editor is elected, and this paper receives money from student fees, just like the SG. The students of this university would never stand for this sort of political censorship at The Texan; they should oppose it as well with the Student Govern­ ment. Hopefully, SG officials will take a close look at these provisions in their con­ stitution and seek to remedy the problem, either with an amendment or a legal injunction. Providing leadership on important city, state and national elections should be an expected duty of our Student Government, not a prohibition. W ithout the power to speak freely on political issues, our SG representatives may as well be relegated to the world of planning pep rallies and organizing sidewalk clean­ ups. Then again, maybe that's exactly where the Administration wants them. ¿S e H a bla In g lés? When high-school principals hand out diplomas on graduation day, they probably assume the recipients can read them. It seems obvious enough, but apparently not to everyone. Last week, a pres­ idential panel said English-only tests that determine whether a student moves ahead or even graduates may violate Hispanic childrens' rights and urged the Department of Education to conduct an investigation. But accom modating children on high-stakes tests only hurts them in the end. In order for students to survive and succeed in American society, they must have a mastery of the English language. Promoting a child to the next grade level when he or she can't understand the material presented by the teacher serves little purpose. A number of English-only opponents claim the tests perpetuate racial dis­ crimination. But to say that a student should have the skills to perform basic math and science functions and read and write English isn't a matter of dis­ crimination, but a matter of practicality. The presidential panel said many states are failing to adequately prepare non-native English-speaking students for tests that are often tied to their pro­ motion or graduation. This may be true, but the solution isn't in bypassing English-only testing, but in building better bilingual programs. Educational disparities are a far greater violation of Hispanic childrens' rights than the administration of English-only tests. Addressing this problem now is more important than ever — Hispanic enrollm ent is growing, but overall achievem ent is not. Hispanics will become the nation's largest minority group by 2010. Thankfully, tne state of Texas is a step ahead of the rest. Bilingual programs in Texas begin testing in third grade and allow H ispanic students many chances to pass as they master English. Such programs have resulted in increasing Hispanic passing rates on state tests (more than 20 percent from 1994 to 1997 — though maybe with a little boost from AISD). ¿Se habla Inglés? If you want that diploma, you do. T h e F ir in g L in e — ---------------------------------- to be ignored in ord er for m e to jo in an o rg a­ nization. T he only w ay to end racially based to o rg a n iz a tio n s have "n on-race based " is Absent alumni not 'bozos' I w ould like to p oint ou t a few problem s in the arg u ­ m ent em ployed by Brian W inter in his attack on the "le th a rg ic" alum ni at UT football gam es (Fairw eather Fans, 9 /2 0 ) . If som eone — I b elieve you referred to them collectively as "fair-w e ath e r b o zo s" — chooses to spend a sm all fortu ne on tickets and then not use them, it seem s that that choice is their resp ectiv e perogative. If the team w ants to use the lack of fan supp ort as an ex cu se I acknow led ge the role the fans play in a gam e, but your approach of ju ven ile n am e-callin g d oesn 't seem to be m uch of a cure. la ck lu ste r p e rfo rm a n ce , so be fo r a it. I w ould suggest, Mr. W inter, a change in your approach. If the alum ni the people w ho are resp on sible for M ack Brow n — DKR M em orial Stadium , and the generou s d onations that flood into the U niversity -- are the cure for w hat ails you, slan d er should not be vour approach. You m ight try a gentle nudge, a la M ack B row n 's call for assistance, as opposed to referrin g to them as "fa ir w eather b o zo s." But then again, w hat do I know ? I'm one of them , I suppose. Perhaps if the stud ents, the "tru e " fans out there, w eren 't so pie-eyed drunk by the end of the gam e, the alum ni w o u ld n 't feel the need to seek the shelter afforded by the alum ni center. I can rem em ber sitting through the last-second field goal victory over the Uni­ versity o f V irginia, and then being show ered by rem ­ n an ts of b o u rb o n and coke — a lovely sort of show er. By the w ay, Mr. W in­ i n ter. W aco is 90 m aw ay by car, and I am fairly certain that tickets are available. M ight you be in attend ance? s _________________ t e u 1 know for a fact that the W aco chapter of the Texas- Exes have a block of seats reserved, and filled, 1 m ight add, for the gam e.

We’re not trying to underm ine the University.” — Doug Young, Wranglers' president this month under the name "Wran­ glers Gold" is com prised of some Wranglers members. U n d e r the term s of the c u rre n t suspension, the group may not par­ ticipate in any activity, including rush, as an official UT organization until August 2000 and will then be on p r o b a tio n u n til the s p r in g of 2002. D oug Young, W ra n gle rs p r e s i­ dent, said the softball incident cur­ rently u n d e r in v e stig atio n w as a misunderstanding, and he is hope­ ful that it will be cleared up. Young said the Wranglers Gold team was composed of both Wran­ glers and non-W ranglers and was informed by the intramural sports office that it would be permitted to register as an intramural team. "I would say we are making our best effort to stay in compliance," Young said. "I feel like we're in full c o m p lia n c e . W e 're n ot tr y in g to undermine the University." Associate Dean of Students Kevin R om e sa id th e m a t t e r is u n d e r investigation and he has not yet met with all the people involved. "H opefully there will be action very soon," Rome said.

The Wranglers have been investi­ gated for hazing several times in the past 10 years.

Associated Press FORT WORTH — Cassandra Griffin's 14-year-old life ended last week at Wedgwood Baptist Church after an apparently deranged gun­ man killed seven people attending a youth service, then turned the gun on himself. A standing-room crowd packed the bullet-scarred sanctuary on Mon­ day afternoon for her funeral, one of three marking a final day of formal mourning for victims of Wednes­ day's rampage by Larry Gene Ash- brook. "What a special girl she was," Car­ olyn Jackson, a family friend, said after the service. "She was quiet, but she was powerful in her own right." Mrs. Jackson described tíre funeral, which was closed to the general pub­ lic, as "powerful." "I think everybody was affected by that service," she said. "I really believe God will use the situation for good." Mourners have heaped flowers, stuffed animals, balloons and notes around the permanent sign mounted on the church's lawn. Some people leaving the funeral signed a large poster that also rests there. Near the church, someone had parked a pickup truck and covered its windows with white-painted slo­ gans: "Rule heaven, Cassie" and "Cassie always in our hearts." Hundreds of people also gathered at the First Baptist Church in nearby White Settlement on Monday after­ noon to remember Joseph Ennis, also 14, an only child w ho dream ed of joining the NBA.

The engine belongs to the Austin Steam Train Association and is currently out of service due to a crack in its frame. The crack, which w a s caused by an a c c id e n t som e tim e d u rin g the engine's 40 years of service, w ill cost $350,000 to repair. The engine is 83 years old and w as used to pull freight and p a s se n g e rs in T e x a s and Louisiana before being retired in 1956. It w as reinstated for use in 1992. Above, Jaxon Fender, 5, takes a nap in a coach car on the return trip to Cedar Park from Burnet. The passenger cars of the Hill Country Flyer are from two different eras. The coach cars were buijt in the 1920s, and the more mod­ ern, air-conditioned, parlor-sleeper cars were built in the '40s and '50s.

The Flyer is a steam train that runs every Saturday and Sunday from Cedar Park, a town 10 miles northwest of Austin, to Bur­ net, about 40 m iles to the northwest. After leaving promptly at 10 a.m., the train travels at about 20 miles an hour through central Texas. Once in Burnet, passengers are w elcom e to tour the entire train, go shopping or eat lunch. The train stops in the town for three hours before returning to Cedar Park. The cost of riding the Flyer is about $25 for the coach cars and about $35 for the parlor cars.

Page 10 Tuesday, September 21,1999 T h e D a il y T e x a n LONGHORN FOOTBALL NOTES Putting his job on the line? When Texas head coach Mack Brown sent kicker Kris Stockton out on the field with 14 seconds left to attempt what Brown hoped would be a game-clinching field goal against Rice Saturday, he was well aware of just how big the pending kick may have been. After already having watched the Owls block one Texas field goal earlier that night and still dealing with the fallout from the the three blocked punts in the season open­ ing loss against N.C. State, Brown knew another block, leading to another Longhorn loss, could have meant a change in title for the Texas head coach. "If they had blocked it and run it back for a touchdown, I would have been fired and I understand that," Brown said of the kick. "But in that situation, at that time, that was the best thing for us to do with this football team." "We felt like that at some point during the year we're going to have to have enough confidence in our field goal team to win another game," he added. "It was good to put pressure on the team that had­ n't done well during the night." Everything went perfectly as Stockton nailed the 30-yard field goal to give the Horns an 18-13 lead and an eventual victory. But even if he hadn't, Brown probably w ouldn't be redesigning golf courses for the athletics' depart­ ment right now. Homeward bound A road trip to Waco isn't usually what most Longhorns cite as their No. 1 place to travel to during the season, but that may be the case for Texas wide receiver Kwame Cavil. Cavil, who leads the Horns in receptions (29) and receiving yards (384), is a native of Waco, and loves to pay a visit to Baylor just to make sure the people there know that Floyd Casey Stadium still belongs to the Texas wideout. "In the back of my mind, I'm thinking 'I'm coming back to the house,"' Cavil said. "Everybody's going to be there, and I want to make a play in order to let them know that this is my house." Texas linebacker Marcus Wilkins says Cavil will do his best to make Waco aware of one other thing as well. "Kwame is going home, and he wants to show everyone in Waco why he made the decision to come to Texas," Wilkins said. Hats off to the offense Offensive coordinator Greg Davis had a few very important words for Major Applewhite fol­ lowing Saturday's victory over Rice. "Eight-out-of-16. Hats off," Davis said to Applewhite from a distance as the Texas QB was in the middle of his post-game inter­ views. After Applewhite gave Davis a round of applause, he explained to the media why that was such a pleasant statement. that is," Applewhite said. "Eight- out-of-16 on third-down conver­ sions means we get to take our [helmets] off during quarterback exchanges, and Tuesday we're in full pads." Then again, come Tuesday when the Horns are practicing in the hot Texas sun, Applewhite may be regretting the lack of headgear. "Now we can feel that warm 90- degree breeze," he added. "It's really like a blow-dryer." Touchbacks Free safety Greg Brown, who tal­ lied 15 tackles against Rice, was named the Mike Campbell Award winner as the team's most valuable defensive player ... Linebacker Aaron Babino is listed as question­ able for Saturday's game with Bay­ lor as he's still feeling the effects of an ankle injury suffered against Rice ...

"Right now, we're doing good enough just to win the gam es," Texas linebacker D.D. Lewis said. "It's just that we're not going out there and totally dominating every play like we need to do." No one expects the Horns to dominate every play, just 99 percent of them when a team like Rice comes to town. It could be that Texas plays down to teams they're supposed to beat easily, and they need a Nebraska to be at their best. But that seems to be too easy of an answer. The Horns have lacked a killer instinct all season with the one exception being Stanford, a team that, oddly enough, bounced back to hammer both Washington State and then-N o.19 Arizona. Texas dominated N.C. State between the 20s on both sides of the ball, but Everyone forgets Ricky Williams, Wane McGarity, Jay Humphrey, Octavious Bishop, Ben Adams, Derek Lewis and Dusty Renfro are gone when it comes to factoring in reasons why Texas isn’t a Rolls-Royce right now. didn't score enough and allowed long the Wolfpack to enough the Horns' to exploit Achilles heal on special teams. ju st live At the Rutgers, Knights outscored Texas 15-10 in the second half and made the score of 38-21 look a lot closer than it really was. And as for Rice, the Owls nearly rallied for a win if it wasn't for the offense's final drive in the game that melted the clock. Teams are hanging around and just that fact makes even Baylor (0- 3) a scary opponent this weekend. It's impossible to tell which team is going to show up because you don't even know what team is suppose to show up. The Horns haven't been Jekyll and Hyde from gam e-to- game, they've been that from play- to-play. "This is a team without an identi­ ty," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "W e're trying to get a bunch of teens to drive carefully on a slick road." forgets Everyone And maybe that's the answer to it Ricky all. W illiams, Wane McGarity, Jay Humphrey, Octavious Bishop, Ben Adams, Derek Lewis and Dusty Renfro are gone when it comes to factoring in reasons why Texas isn't a Rolls-Royce right now. A ton of experience was lost and of the 22 starters, 12 of them have started just the four games this sea­ son. They are talented, but they are young. "Coach Royal came up to me in the beginning of the season and said, 'You know, the good thing is you have a great young team ,"' Brown said. "But he said, 'The bad thing is you have a young team.' That's really true because we are still growing up." The Horns haven't come of age yet and rem em ber that it took Kevin Arnold six seasons on The Wonder Years before he fully devel­ oped. But Texas doesn't have that much time because Kansas State will arrive in Austin in two weeks and Nebraska follows in five. And you don't want an identity crisis when they arrive. Neuheisel, Buffs ready to reunite New Washington coach to meet old team, but Barnett unphased by hype Jimmy Barnes Daily Texan Staff On Monday Gary Barnett said this week's game against Washington is important — just not for the same reasons many would guess. The Colorado head coach stressed that the Buffs have to beat the Huskies to continue to build on their two-game winning streak and avoid a 2-2 start, not to get back at former coach Rick Neuheisel, who bolted to Washington in the off-season. "We're going to keep it between the sidelines and the end zones and not play the game in the media," Barnett said. "It's a game between our football players and Washing­ ton's football players. The coaches are just spectators." Neuheisel created much bad blood in Boulder during the off-sea­ son. After the Buffs finished a solid 8-4 season capped with a victory in the Aloha Bowl, he denied interest in other coaching jobs and began recruiting. However, Neuheisel shocked Col­ orado by accepting the head job at Washington in mid-January. After Barnett similarly miffed Northwest­ ern by taking the Buffs job less than two weeks later, this week's game has been circled by the national media as a high-profile grudge match. Barnett said the expected hype surrounding the game was non­ sense, saying that enough time had passed to dilute any hard feelings that may have existed. "If we would have played this game six months ago, I would have been concerned," he said. "There's a lot of water under the bridge now." Iowa State faces first real challenge against the Wildcats The honeymoon might be over for the surprising Cyclones when they host No. 15 Kansas State Saturday in Ames, Iowa in the conference open­ er for both squads. "There's no question in my mind we've gotten better each week," ISU head coach Dan McCamey said. BIG 12 NORTH "But we're going to have to have a huge improvement to stay on the field with Kansas State." Last year the Wildcats embar­ rassed the Cyclones 52-7, a game Iowa State "was never in," McCar- ney said. this year, as McCamey might have reason to the be optimistic Cyclones have roared out to a 3-0 start, their best since 1981. They have a 7-point victory over Iowa sandwiched by blowout wins over Indiana State and UNLV so far this season. However those opponents pale in comparison to the 2-0 Wildcats, who have defeated Temple and UT-E1 Paso by a combined score of 80-7. Whatever the outcome, McCamey said the Cyclones have shown that they deserve some respect in the Big 12 . "I don't know how far we'll go, but this is the most fun I've had [as a coach]," he said. The No. 6 Comhuskers will hope for less of a scare when they take op Missouri in their conference opener Saturday. Nebraska comes off a difficult win over Southern Mississippi that saw the Golden Eagles take a 13-12 third- quarter lead before succumbing 20- 13. The Nebraska offense sputtered badly, as sophomore Eric Crouch, in his first game as full-time starter, produced only 66 passing yards and 26 on the ground. Bobby Newcombe, who had split time with Crouch under center in their first two games, did not catch a ball in his new role at wide receiver. Nebraska head coach Frank Solich downplayed the offensive troubles, saying Southern Miss deserved some of the credit for making the game interesting. "Neither Crouch nor Newcombe played very well," he said. "But I don't think [putting the players in new roles] was as important as what Southern Mississippi's defense did to us."

Sosa flied out to the wall in the first when the wind held up his ball, walked, singled and struck out to stay at 61 homers. McGwire finished l-for-4 in the opener of a three-game series at Wrigley Field. Lieber struck out nine of the first 17 batters and was breezing. "It was 6 2 /3 of the finest innings I've ever seen pitched," Cubs man­ ager Jim Riggleman said. But after McGwire's homer broke a scoreless tie, Lieber gave up two singles and two-run homers to Thomas Howard and J.D. Drew in a span of six pitches. After a single by Marcus Jensen, Lieber (8-11) was lifted and St. Louis scored two more on an RBI single by Eduardo Perez and run-scoring dou­ ble by Edgar Renteria for a 7-0 lead. "I tried to get that third out and I just couldn't do it," said Lieber, win- less in 13 starts since July 10. "It's very tough. But that's base­ ball. I could think about this for the rest of my life. I could go home and kick myself to death and stay up all night and all that, but I don't believe in all that. I made mistakes when I shouldn't have." McGwire, who hit 70 homers last [TUESDAY’S LINE-UP: 5:00 What’s the Cover 7:00 KYR News9 7:30 College Press Box 8:00 Shorties 9:00 Sneak Peek 2000 9:30 Campus Loop 10:00 Music My Mom Hates Tasteless Music Videos Tasteless Jokes a Cross Dresser with a Bad Wig Music My Mom Hates Tonight at 10:00 season to beat Sosa by four, broke his own record of 128 for most homers in two seasons. He now has 129, combining this season and last. He has homered four times in his last four games. McGwire's 516th lifetime homer put him within five of Ted Williams and Willie McCovey for 10th place on the career list. Mark Thompson (1-2) allowed just four hits in six scoreless innings to get his first victory since April 4, 1998, when he was with Colorado. Shane Andrews hit a two-run homer in the Cubs ninth off Ricky Bottalico. The closest the Cardinals came to a hit before McGwire's shot was with two outs in the sixth when Thompson hit a liner that Cubs first baseman Mark Grace jumped high to catch. Grace had dropped Renteria's foul pop for an error leading off the game, but Lieber came back and retired him on a grounder. Then the right-hander took off, working quickly and getting help from home plate umpire Ian Lamplugh's liberal strike zone. With flashbulbs popping all over, McGwire struck out on three pitches in the first. Sosa sent the crowd to its feet in the bottom half, backing Howard to the wall in right center. McGwire fanned again in the third, while Sosa drew a walk in the fourth and singled to right in the sixth. McGwire ran out of the Cardinals' dugout during batting practice and jogged out to right field to chat with Sosa. He'd planned to congratulate Sosa on becoming the first player to reach 60 homers twice. "People think getting to 50 now is a piece of cake," McGwire said before Monday night's game. "You can't name the people on one hand who have hit 50 homers consistently. You can't." And he said Sosa's latest accom­ plishment deserved more attention than it got. "I personally thought when he hit 60, it should have been the top story on every sports television network, which it wasn't. He deserved it." Notes: McGwire has 16 homers in 22 career games against the Cubs. ... He and Sosa have homered in the same game just three times over the last three seasons. ... McGwire has five homers against the Cubs this season and Sosa four against St. Louis. ... McGwire now leads Sosa by one RBI 136-135.... Lieber has lost eight straight decisions.

De La Hoya, the "golden boy" from California, seem ed assured victory after connecting w ith his jab early on. But in the last few rounds, he and Trinidad's tenacity paid off as he scored w ith his punishing right. com placent tu rn ed De La Hoya was befuddled by the majority decision. He w as sure he had won. Trindiad dism issed such opinion. "The person w ho deserved this w in w as Tito Trinidad and the judges agreed," he said.

He w ould not say how m uch his son w ould dem and. has a huge value in boxing and that has no price," he said. An alternative w ould be a fight w ith Jim Page, the WBC cham pion in his 147-pound category, or a move up to the 154-pound category. Trinidad used the occasion to bring attention to Vieques, an outly­ ing island that Puerto Ricans w ant the U.S. N avy to stop using as a live bom bing range. The bom bing was suspended after an April accident killed a civilian Puerto Rican guard there. The U.S. Congress is to hold hearings on the issue this week. "Peace for Vieques!" Trinidad declared. The night of the fight, he entered the ring in front of a m ap of the island dem anding: "N avy get out of Vieques!" The controversy, like Trinidad's victory, has brought a nationalistic outpouring on the island, where patriotic feelings are deep despite m eager support for the indepen­ dence movement. The 4 million islanders are U.S. citizens who serve in the military and receive federal funds though they do not pay federal taxes and cannot vote for president or the Congress. At the airport, Mabel Roubert w aited with two sons, Marcus, 14, and Braulio, 8, whom she had taken out of school. "School is im portant," she said.

Astros slip away in rain to Pirates, 11-5 Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Brant Brown hit a three-run hom er and drove in four runs and the Pittsburgh Pirates stayed tou against contending teams, beating H o u s t o n A stros 11-5 M onday night. t B r o w n ' s three-run shot Shane off Reynolds (16-12) came in a rain-inter­ rupted six-run third inning that saw the Pirates turn a 4-2 deficit into an 8-4 lead. Brian Giles had three hits and two RBIs, giving him five RBIs in two games and 114 for the season as the Pirates won their fourth in five games, all against con­ tenders. The Pirates, w ho are a game under .500 and still have a shot for their first w in­ ning season since 1992, won two of three over the weekend from Cincinnati. The Reds began the night 3 1 /2 games behind H ouston in the NL Central race. H ouston has kept the race close by los­ ing four of five since winning a club- record 12 in a row. The Astros are 4-6 against Pittsburgh, losing six of the last seven, and are 0-4 in Three Rivers Stadi­ um this season. Pete Schourek (4-7), like Brown an off­ season Pittsburgh pickup experiencing a rough season, replaced Francisco Cordo­ va after the rain delay and pitched 3 2 /3 innings of one-run relief for the victory. It was his first win since July 24 against Montreal. Cordova is 5-2 against H ouston and Reynolds is 9-4 against Pittsburgh — 0-3 this season — but neither starter m ade it past the third. Jeff Bagwell drove in three runs with a pair of singles in the first two innings but Giles and Brown each had RBI singles in the Pirates' first. Giles, w ho hom ered twice Sunday against Cincinnati, started the third with a double. Kevin Young then walked ahead of Brown's career-high 15th hom er and his fourth in 13 games, an opposite-field drive to left-center. Brown began the sea­ son as the Pirates' starting center fielder, but failed to hit and lost the job within a month. Two batters later, Keith Osik's hard-hit grounder w ent under second baseman Craig Biggio's glove and rolled nearly to the right-field wall for an unusual three- base error by a middle infielder. The error scored Abraham Nunez, w ho had sin­ gled. Mike Benjamin then singled in another n m just before a rain delay of one hour, 42 minutes. Astro* pitcher Shane Reynolds hangs his head as the Pirates' Brant Brown trots the bases behind him following a three-run homer. AP photo Cowboys Continued from page 9 "I looked up and there was 80 yards to go," Ellis said. "I w anted to pitch to someone. It was a long, hard run and I d id n 't think I w as going to make it." H anspard, a Dallas-area native and former Texas Tech star, ran 19 times for 76 yards. However, he's not a bulldozing runner w ho can get tough yards like Anderson. That ability was especially miss­ ing on three third-and-short situa­ tions w hen the Falcons were dow n 10-0. Atlanta instead had a nearly intercepted pass, a no-gain by H anspard and Graziani's fumble. The Falcons defense was the only reason the game remained close. Atlanta held Dallas to 231 yards, less than half the 541 yards it had in 41-35 overtim e victory against Washington in the opener. Troy Aikman went from 355 yards passing to 109, his lowest total since the last game of the 1997 season. He Tennis Continued from page 9 U We wanted to make a statement after last week. We wanted to shut down their run, then they lose their No. 1 back. That gave us more of a chance to attack their offense” — Dexter CoaUey, Betos Snetackar was 10-of-22 and threw two inter­ ceptions, giving him five for the year, matching last season's total. Smith had 29 carries for 108 yards, his second straight 100-yard outing. He also passed Tony D orsett to become fourth on the NFL's career rushing list at 12,783 yards. Dorsett was at the game to take part in a halftim e celebration honoring the Cowboys' 40th anniversary. "It w as a challenge playing ran tonight," said Smith, w ho behind a line missing two starters because of injuries. "They are very fast and fly around the ball, but we were able to hang in there together and fight it out." Another sign of Atlanta's prob­ lems was M orten A ndersen's contin­ ued struggle. He missed a 49-yarder, giving him three failures this year. He had only five last year. Dallas kicker Richie Cunningham hit a 23-yard field goal in the first quarter, but sent a 47-yarder wide put in this sum m er should really pay off," said Crowell. "I just hope we d o n 't end up playing each other." As a duo, Blue and Crowell are ranked No. 30 in the preseason Intercollegiate Tennis A ssociation (ITA) national poll. This ranking earned them an autom atic spot in the main draw of the doubles tour­ nament, though they m ust qualify for spots the singles main draw. The tournam ent has three tiers: prequalifying, qualifying and the main draw. A player must win three prequalifying matches to advance into the qualify ing rounds, where two more wins earns a spot in the main draw field of 64. Blue and Crowell were allowed to skip *he prequalifying rounds in singles. "Realistically, we have a shot to do very well in doubles, maybe even to win it all," said Blue, who teamed with Brandon Hawk last year at this tournam ent and reached the conso­ lation finals in doubles. "Individual­ ly, we should each at least win a few matches." The p air's opening-round doubles opponent will not be know n until doubles qualifying finishes tom or­ row. right late in the third quarter. With the victory, Cowboys coach Chan Gailey took a 1-0 lead over his former Little League baseball coach Dan Reeves. The A m ericus, Ga., natives had never m et as head coaches.

Replays of the fall showed the arm bending backward at the elbow. "It's a hyperextended elbow," Ditka said Monday. "T h at's a sprained elbow. All the m edical things show that's what it is. He has a lot of pain. But the M R I was nega­ tive. H e's in an arm splint." The injury caused Williams to need help getting dressed after the game. Ditka at first feared Williams had broken the arm. "He w as in an extraordinary am ount of pain for an injury like that. That's w hy I thought the arm was broken," Ditka said. "H e's real­ ly stretched those ligaments, so one thing he will have to do, he'll have to w ear an elbow brace w hen he plays." In New O rleans' 28-21 loss to the 49ers, Williams rushed for 80 vards on 22 carries, a 3 6 average. He also caught three passes for 5 yards. Described as 95 percent recov­ ered from the ankle sprains before the San Francisco game, Williams showed glimpses of the style and speed that enticed the Saints to give up eight draft pick to get h i m The NCAA's career rushing leader from Texas also showed that he was not going to back dow n from opponents "I got in his face," 49ers line­ backer Ken N orton Jr. said. "We talked smack all day, but h e's got style. H e's strong and you can't rat­ tle him. H e's got a quiet confi­ dence." W illiams signed an incentive­ laden contract with the Saints. To reach the big money boosters he m ust rush for over 1,600 yards and score 12 touchdow ns. After tw o games he has 120 yards and has not scored.

The speakers stressed the United S ta te s ' in v o lv e m e n t in Ind on e sia , including its sale of military h ard ­ ware to the nation for years before the turmoil in East Timor began. Gail R oth e, a p anelist from the Texas Natural Resource C o n serv a ­ tion Com m ission, spoke about her experiences as an election monitor in East Timor. "I felt it was really important to keep this issue alive because when I first came back the big issue was getting an international peace force in," said Rothe.

Ticket sales accounted for 82,084 spectators in attendance, said John Bianco, m edia relatio n s d irector for UT athletics. A c c o rd in g th e a th le tic s to department, the Longhorn football team has played in front of sold- out crowds for nine of the last 10 home and away games. “I think there is a lot of enthusi­ asm around Texas foo tball right n o w ," Bianco said. "P eo p le have g o tte n m o re e x c ite d fo r each gam e." C hris Plonsky, senior associate a th letics d irecto r, attrib u ted the larger turnout to a combination of sta d iu m and increased interest in the football team. im p ro v e m e n ts "I h av e to co m m en d th e s tu ­ dents for their p articip atio n and attendance in the past year," Plon­ sky said.

She added that double selling — s e llin g m o re tic k e ts th an s e a ts w ith th e a ssu m p tio n th a t som e is p e o p le w o n 't sh ow up — against the athletics departm ent's policy. The UT-Rice gam e was not the most attended football home game this season. W ith over 82,580 peo­ ple attending the U T-N orth C ar­ olina State game. The UT-Stanford game did not sell out. Students pay for about 19,000 to 20,000 Longhorn Sports packages — which entitle a student to draw for tickets for home games — each year, Plonsky said. The stu d e n t d raw fo r tic k e ts ea ch fo o tb a ll g am e a v e r a g e s around 12,000, and the remaining tickets after the draw are offered to the public. Plonsky noted that the public offering is often too late to sell all the tickets. N ot only are all of the tick ets being sold, but most, and often all, of the tickets allotted to the visit­ ing team s are sold, Plonsky said. UT reserves 4,000 to 5,000 tickets for visiting team s to sell to their fans. Plonsky said a foo tball season w ith several so ld -o u t gam es is a good situation for an athletic pro­ gram.

Police indicted on rights charges Associated Press HOUSTON — A federal grand jury on Monday indicted fired Houston police Sgt. Darrell Strouse and former patrol­ man James Willis on civil rights charges in a July 1998 fatal shooting during a drug raid. Strouse led the botched raid by six Houston Police Department officers on the apartment of Pedro Oregon Navarro. Willis, who helped set up the raid, was acquitted in March on criminal trespassing charges. Both are charged with conspiracy to violate Oregon's civil rights. No search warrant was obtained for the raid, accord­ ing to the indictments. ment as a whole. "This is not an indictment against law enforcement. If certainly not an indictment of the police department, but w as law enforcement officers, the people depend upon u í we're there to secure rights and to protect these rights, Clark said. The indictments say the conspiracy involved findinj ways to circumvent a search warrant for the raid on July 17 1998, by police who entered the apartment of Oregon' brother.

Page 16 Tuesday, September 21, 1999 T h e D a i l y T e x a n Liberians may face deportation Associated Press In his daydreams, high school fresh­ man Louis Joe tries out for the basket­ ball team, joins the chess club and eventually becomes a doctor. In his nightmares, he walks through a dark forest, crawls over corpses and relives his escape from w a r-to rn Liberia. "I would rather die than go back to Liberia," says the 14-year-old M ary­ land honor student, asserting he'd end up "either dead or poor." In one of the longest-running immi­ gration sagas of its kmd, Joe and 10,000 to 15,000 other Liberians have been liv­ ing in the United States under tempo­ rary legal status since 1991. G iven extension after extension, they are being granted another reprieve from a pending Sept. 28 deportation order, a White House official said Monday. He w ould not say how long the new extension would be. But their permanent status remains in limbo, and in the end they may still have to return home. "My future is still uncertain," said Joe after learning of the planned exten­ sion, which is expected to be officially announced later this week. The previous extensions were grant­ ed to the Liberians as the civil w ar dragged on, but with the fighting offi­ cially over since 1997, the US. govern­ ment believes the African country is becoming safe enough for their return one day. To most, going back seems like a death sentence. "H ere I can get an education. ... There the schools a re n 't even open yet," said Joe, who lives in Ellicott Gty, a com m unity betw een W ashington and Baltim ore. "W itho ut that, I'm nobody. I'll have no life." His father, Robert, teaches special education. His mother, Louise, a credit investigator for a private company, says keeping a job is to ug h w h en th e re 's no g u a ra n te e she can stay where the family has established a bet­ ter life. This is the essence of the argument among Liberians who want to remain in the United States — perhaps forever. It7s not so much that they believe they'll be killed, but that life in Liberia will be so much less than what they have here. "These people have been here for 10 years, gotten m arried, had children w ho are U.S. citizens, started new lives," said Michael W otorson of the U nion of Liberian A ssociations of America, a Liberian advocacy group. "Now they have to root all that up and go home?" Wotorson says Liberia "is not fit for most people to live in. There's no elec­ tricity, no sewage, there are no less than five paramilitary groups, [answerable] to no one, just roaming" the capital of Monrovia. "If s uninhabitable." Fighting in Liberia from 1989 to 1997 shattered the nation founded by freed A m erican slaves in 1822. It killed 200,000 and forced half the country's 2.6 rfiillion from their homes. The war and the flight of business people disrupted the economy and left in sham bles the in frastructure of a nation that even in prewar days had only one phone line for every 100 peo­ ple. Most of the Liberians in America are congregated in Rhode Island, or in areas around Washington, New York C ity's Bronx, Los A ngeles and the North Carolina cities of Raleigh and Charlotte, Wotorson's group says. A few legislators in Congress have been unable to push through a law that w ould allow the Liberians to stay longer and have a chance at permanent residency. "The Liberians are always under the gauntlet ... year after year waiting to have th e ir sta tu s renew ed," Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, D-R.I., one of the sponsors, said at a rally Sunday in front of the White House. The Liberians have what the Immi­ gration and Naturalization Service calls tem porary protected status, w hich allows for a stay of six to 18 months for people whose homeland is hit by nat­ ural disaster or war. A Kennedy spokesman said Mon­ day that President Clinton is planning to give Liberians a two-year extension this time. A decision is expected later this week. African American Culture Room 4.110.

Holding Light con­ tains incredible diversity of color and texture am ong the featured works, which is startling considering modem artists first began seriously w orking with glass just 40 years ago. In die early 1960s the first glass fur­ nace sm all en ough to fit insid e an a rtis t's stu d io w as created, th u s prompting the studio art glass move­ ment. Since glasswork does not carry the centuries-old tradition of other media (paint, pencil, clay and bronze), glass sculptors are still learning new co nstruction skills and techniques. Holding Light sculptors use glass-blow­ ing, kiln-form ing and cold-w orking techniques in their featured works. The w orks' diversity of technique, color and texture is bridged by a uni­ fied goal to explore the passage of time, transition and memory. Thus Holding Light proves quite fitting to take Lagu­ na Gloria to the new millenium. The first gallery holds Ruth King's Falling Bodies, a set of three thin, ser­ p e n tin e to rn ad o in stallatio n s each twisting approximately 10 feet, from which female torsos hang precariously. The colors of the nine female figures spin and flow together on the supple blow-glass bodies, echoing the wind­ ing to rn a d o th at su sp e n d s them . Although the title implies that these bodies are on their way down, some of them appear with their heads above A TOUCH OF GLASS. The Holding Light exhibit features work* such as Daniel dayman's bronze-encased glass sculp­ ture Tender (above) and Mark Calderon's kiln-fired Dolorossa (right). upper photo by J e ssic a M arcotte adjacent photo by Arthur S.

King said the w ork represents violent transition, b u t she toys w ith the idea of necessary change. GLASS SH0W/Page"Í8 Rock wresdes for the people Kurt Scott Hopke Daily Texan Staff The m o st e le ctrify in g m an in sp o rts e n te rta in m e n t, th e Rock, b rought the house dow n Sunday n ight at the Erw in Center, and it made up for what was a lackluster house show for the World Wrestling Federation. The audience was full, but atypically silent for most of the proceedings. The W W F has a d d e d a n o th e r prime time show during the week, and their emphasis is now focused m ore on storyline and characters rather than actual wrestling. This puts the house show, such as Sun­ d a y n ig h t's , in an in te re stin g quandary. Since it's not being tele­ vised, no storyline advancement can take place; they can only wrestle, and th a t's so m e th in g that the wrestlers these days don't do very much, so it's a mixed bag. It should be telling, however, that the biggest reactions from the crowd on Sunday were for the Rock's and M an k in d 's mic segm ents, w here they talked and did their usual rou­ tine. The Rock was his usual charis­ matic self, hitting all his catchphras- es at the right time, prompting the crowd to sing along. And his match, ag a in st form er WWF ch am p io n Triple H, was clearly the best of tfie night, perhaps just for the Rock's presence. The Rock, amid cheers of "Rocky, Rocky!" finished Triple H with the "People's Elbow." O th er fun m atch es in clu d ed M ankind taking on Jarrett for the In terco n tin en tal C h am p io nship , which put distinctly different per­ sonalities against each other. Jarrett is an arrogant woman-beater, who has an upcoming match against the female Chyna, and M ankind is a d e ra n g e d b u t w ell-in ten tio n ed moron. The possibilities were end­ less, b u t a fte r Ja rre tt sm acked M ankind illegally w ith a chair, Chyna ran down to even the odds. Jarrett won by disqualification, but Mankind ev ened the score by clamp­ ing Mr. Socko in Jarretas mouth and driving him to the mat. He followed with his riff on die Rock's insanely popular "People's Elbow" with the "People's Leg Drop." The undercard was severely lack­ ing, however.

After Sounflgarden's break-up in 1997, the final nail was placed in the grunge coffin. However, Euphoria Morning establishes Chris Cornell, though trying a little too hard, as a talented musical force. As his hope­ ful album title suggests, maybe there is life after death for Cornell. — David English COME ON NOW SOCIAL By: Indigo Girls Label: Epic Records Grade: 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale) What began as a jam session at The Ghost Rooms studio in London developed into the Indigo Girls' sev­ enth Epic Records studio album, Come On Now Social, a charismatic acoustic album with edge. Come On Now Social m akes a sophisticated move from the Indigo Girls' 1997 rock 'n' roll album, Sham­ ing o f The Sun, with a more experi­ mental approach. Indigo Girls (Amy Ray and Emily Saliers) collaborated with English band Ghostland (which includes Sinead O' Connor's drummer and the Indigo's new co-producer, John Reynolds) to emphatically alter their natural music patterns and create a vigorously audacious album. The duo's convergence with an array of new musicians, including Ghostland members Caroline Dale (cello), Clare Kenny (bass) and Carol 'Issacs (piano, accordion, organ, moog) is an expansion into an ener­ getic sound fusing the In d igo 's indigenous folk—rock with Irish and English roots. The new band offers a fresh sound for the duo, however it's absence of their familiar band members, bassist Sara Lee and drummer Jerry Marota (who only appears in "G one Again"), could be a subtle disap­ pointment for Indigo fans. The album proves to be the duo's most diverse, with styles ranging from Ray7 s raw punk-rock chords in "Go" to a simple New Orleans hom section in Saliers' "Peace Tonight." It also features Lilith Fair friends . Sheryl Crow , Joan O sborne and bassist Me'Shell Ndegeocello. W ithout a doubt, the 12-song release perpetually greets sentimen­ tal issues, both intensely personal and politically charged; including Ray's scornful ballad, "Faye Tucker," a somber rumination of Karla Faye Tucker's 1998 execution in Texas. "Either way it goes down, your life's not your own, and that's why killin' don't pay," they sing. W ith D ale's cello harm onies accompanied by Issacs' accordion and the vocal chanting of Arabic singer Natacha Atlas, "Faye Tucker" melodically captivates an intriguing Celtic tone inevitably leaving listen­ ers meditative. "Trouble," which features Mal- com Bum on the beat box and Lilith Fair alum Joan Osborne on backing vocals, is a politically charming song where Saliers grumbles, "Get to the point of it, get to the sense of it, I'm in a hurry to get through it." The best song on the album, "Sis­ ter," features Ray's arousing vocal melodies accompanied by Issacs on the organ, w urlitzer and moog. Saliers' backing vocals and elegant finger—picking on the banjo shelters the building tension. Come On Now Social is a forceful composition of Saliers' and Ray's distinct music styles and represents a successful push into a new musical direction. — Erin Sherbert Edge and C hristian w on a Tag Team elimination match against the Hardy Boyz, the D udleyz and the Acolytes. The Acolytes and Dudleyz elim inated each other by brawling ou tsid e the ring, and the sm aller Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian were both on, and they both did some remarkable high flying moves (includ­ ing Jeff Hardy's death defying Swan Dive head butt that practically has him land head-first on his opponent after a leap off the top rope). Edge won the match for his team when he caught Jeff Hardy after a back flip with the spear. Going to the wrestling show with your dad used to be a special time. In to d a /s WWF, however, I'd be hesitant to bring any children to one of their shows. Twice, a wrestler cursed direct­ ly into the mic something that would have been censored on the WWF TV shows, and that's not including the words "ass" or "bitch," which appar­ ently aren't off-lim its in the WWF; those two words flew more often than not when the w restler's took the microphone. Also, when the Godfa­ ther, a pimp character, brought out his hos, he implored all his little pimps in the audience to "Light up a fatty for the Pimp Daddy because Pimpin' ain't easy!" Wrestling has always encoun­ tered controversy for catering to chil­ dren, but for wrestlers to openly curse more often than not, for men to attack women and to make open drug refer­ ences indicate that i t s not for kids any­ more. w w w .lazonarosa.com 4 t h & río g r a n d e F ^ A - P i T Y " TIC K ET S AT TH E DOOR ONLY!

Your day-to-day survival now will lead to triumph later. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Partnerships and teams today might drive you a little crazy. You're feeling a strong urge to run away from it all and be alone, but your feelings will pass. Go do some exploring today!

Stay true to yourself, and you can t go wrong. You have good instincts, and you will be able to tell when they 're not telling you the whole truth. Taking a risk today could be costly.
