The Atlantic alliance said it "h a s decided to make im m ediate preparations for under­ taking ... stron g er m easures inclu d ing air strik es against those resp onsible, B osnian Serbs and others, in Bosnia-H erzegovina."

Meza is staying at Concepts Inc., a pre-parole facility in S w eetw ater that hou ses p riso n ers b efo re they are released on parole, said Raven Kazen, a spokesw om an for the state Board of Pardons and Paroles. "W hen we find an acceptable placement plan ... he's going to stay there," Kazen said. Kazen added that the board will "constantly be look­ ing for an acceptable placem ent plan" for Meza. In 1982, Meza raped and killed an 8-year-old Austin girl w hile on parole from a senten ce he receiv ed for shooting a co n v en ien ce store clerk. H e w as released Ju n e 21 after servin g 11 y ears on a 34-year sen ten ce because he accum ulated "good tim e" credits. Meza has been placed in several Texas cities including El Paso, M ineral Wells, W ichita Falls and Sw eetw ater. State officials w ere forced to m ove Meza out of each city because of protests from residents there. Officials at Concept Inc. said they could not confirm w hether M eza was at the facility. Over the past several weeks, parole officials have kept M eza's location a secret. But Texas A ttorney G eneral Dan M orales ruled Friday that the w hereabouts of Meza is public knowledge. "It was never our intention to fight the attorney gen­ eral," Kazen said. She added that Meza has been difficult to place. " I t looks at this point that he's not going to be w el­ com e in any com m unity," Kazen said. W elcome or not, M eza's attorneys said Meza is "very unhappy" and "w ants to go back to the com m unity." "H e should be living in his m am a's house," said Colin A m ann, a H ouston attorney representing M eza, refer­ ring to M eza's previous placement at his m other's resi­ dence in San Antonio. A u stin atto rn ey G ary C o h en , w ho also rep rese n ts Meza, said the Sw eetw ater facility is essentially a prison, a lth o u g h K a zen said the c e n te r d o e s n o t m eet th e requirem ents for prisons. "T h e facility has guards and fences — that's a ja il," Cohen said. Both he and Amann said they will continue M eza's suit against the state, charging illegal im prison­ ment. Kazen acknowledged that M eza is "a free m an." "T h e parole board did not release Mr. M eza, the law released him ," Kazen said. "H is good time and his flat time equaled 34 years. By law he had to be released." Parole also said it is not likely M eza w ill be placed outside of Texas. "W e don't see any real advantage to placing him out of state. There are children and concerned com m unity mem bers in any other state," Kazen said. "A n d actually we will be able to provide him closer supervision here in T exas." Kazen added that Meza will probably not be placed in Austin out of respect to the victim 's family.

If a recom m en dation is ap p ro v ed by C on roe school b oard tru stee s T u esd ay night, graduating classes beginning with the 1996-97 class will not recognize a valedicto­ rian or salutatorian. Instead, the highest-ranking students will be recognized in three categories: Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude and Cum Laude. Intense competition for valedictorian and salutatorian has generated controversy in recent years at Conroe High School, as well as the d istrict's other tw o high schools, M cCullough in The W oodlands and Oak Ridge in Oak Ridge North. "A lot of kids shoot for No. 1 in the class and it becom es very c o m p e titiv e," said Dave Figari, a district administrator and for­ mer Conroe High principal. " I t k eep s ev eryb od y in turm oil. It is something that has needed to be changed and I think it's going to take place," he said. Figari chaired the committee of parents and school officials that drafted the propos­ al. He experienced the academ ic turmoil firsthand as Conroe High's principal. "Last year we allowed a student to drop a course at midterm and take a course for no credit, which jumped them up in the class ranking to valedictorian," he said. "It was a decision I made and if I had it to do over, I don't know that I would." F ig ari said he b elie v es the p ro p o sed changes would ease pressure on students, teachers and principals. "It allows a lot more students to graduate with honors and eases some of that pressure where you have one-on-one battles for the two top positions," he said. Graduation speakers would be chosen from the top two honor groups by a campus committee. It would be up to the campus to determine the number of speakers.

Where's my dad ?" as she rode to the Ann Arbor police station, where her biological par­ ents, D an iel and C ara Sch m idt, waited. Within the hour they were on a chartered plane, flying tow ard a new life in Iowa. E arlier M on day, the Iow a S u ­ preme Court rejected a request for an emergency stay of the transfer.

Jessica had been told she would be moving to Iowa, but didn't learn until S u n d ay she w ou ld leave Monday, Scarnecchia said.

They planned to go into seclu ­ sion, rather than return immediate­ ly to Blairstow n, about 25 m iles w est of C edar R apids, said their attorn ey , M arian F au p el. They arranged for a therapist to help in the transition if necessary. Many in Blairstown, population 700, just want life to return to nor­ mal for the Schmidts, and for them­ selves. "W hat I want is for everyone to let them go their w ay," said Carol DeNeve, who lives a block from the Schm idts. "T h e re 's nothing an y­ body can do to change it. I feel sorry for both of the families. It went on too long." Mrs. Schmidt gave up custody of the girl shortly after giving birth Feb. 8, 1991, in Cedar Rapids. She was single at the time. The DeBoers planned to ado pt Jessica. But Mrs. Schmidt, who ini­ tially named the wrong man as the fath er, ch an ged her m ind. She informed Schmidt of his paternity on Feb. 27, 1991, and they began trying to get their daughter back the next month. The Sch m idts were m arried in April 1992 and had another daugh­ ter, Chloe, in June.

Since the trial, five alibi witnesses have come forward to say Graham w as with them, 15 miles from the scene at the time of the crime. Despite the new evidence, Texas law forbids the introduction of new evidence into a case more than 30 days after a conviction.

August 3. 1993 Page 3 Christopher: Bloodshed may invigorate Mideast peace talks Associated Press ALEXANDRIA, Egypt — Secretary of State Warren C hristopher held out hope Monday that the bloodshed in southern Lebanon could be used to generate “ a new burst of e n e rg y " for the M ideast peace process. C h ris to p h e r's o p tim istic view w as sh ared by E g y p tian P re sid e n t H osni Mubarak, w ho told a joint news confer­ ence th at he did not th in k " th e re 's a problem starting the negotiations even after what happened in Lebanon." The upbeat assessm ents came on the first stop of a four-day visit to the Mid­ dle East on which Christopher hopes to generate some m om entum in the stalled talks. "T he situ atio n in Lebanon, p e r­ haps paradoxically, has itself given a new burst of energy to the negotiations," he said. The secretary said he hoped to " c a p ita liz e on the tragic s itu a tio n in Lebanon to use it to remind the parties how im p o rta n t it is to m ove forw ard with the peace talks." "D ecision tim e is rapidly approach­ ing," Christopher said. "We don't expect any breakthroughs on this trip, but we expect steady progress." State Departm ent officials working on the peace process have m ade it clear they believe the week of violence in southern Lebanon was a setback. "There clearly has been a souring of the overall atm osphere," said one official w ho briefed reporters on condition he not be identified. But after his meeting with M ubarak at the president's summer palace in this M editerranean coastal city, Christopher chose to see a silver lining. And Mubarak, leader of the only Arab country that m aintains diplom atic rela­ tions w ith Israel, has been a consistent backer of the peace process.

A stern e r test of C hristopher 's o p ti­ m ism will take place d u rin g the next three days w hen he m eets with Israeli governm ent officials, Palestinian nego­ tiators and Syrian leaders. But the head of the Palestinian negoti­ ating team , H a id a r A bdul-S hafi, said M onday he would not attend his team 's meeting with Christopher and criticized the U.S. resp o n se to Israeli attacks in Lebanon. In a telep h o n e interview in J e ru sa le m , A d b u l-S h afi sa id , " T h is Lebanese war and the American attitude tow ards Israel make a mockery of speak­ ing about international law and hum an rights. I am very disappointed." In his view, 10 rounds of talks have b ro u g h t no ch an g e in U.S. a ttitu d e s to w ard basic issues like the sta tu s of Jerusalem or of Israeli settlem en ts in occupied land. "After 10 rounds of going n o w h e re , th is p eace p ro c e ss lacks integrity and credibility," Abdul-Shafi said. " I hope there w ill be so m ething new in the American position." And in Tunis, Tunisia, the Palestinian Liberation O rganization said, "This is probably his [Christopher's] last chance to save the peace process." A failure by Christopher to bridge the existing gaps w ould " le a d to a b reak ­ dow n of the peace p ro c ess," th e PLO statem ent said. The complex, often frustrating peace process, offers endless opportunities for optimism and pessimism. The last round of talks in W ashington ended in June w ith no progress and with Palestinians insisting that the status of Jerusalem be on the table. Israel refuses to discuss the statu s of the city. In an effort to put off any negotiations on the future of Jerusalem, Israel has indicated a willingness to grant m ore self govern­ ment — or em powerm ent, in the current negotiating parlance — for Palestinians who live on the West Bank and Gaza.

But despite continued levee breaks and lingering fears, it appears the Flood of '93 could be reaching its conclu­ sion after causing at least $10 billion in dam age and claim ing 46 lives. The latest victim was a woman dis­ covered in North Dakota. The weather pattern that brought relentless rains has shifted to the usual drier sum m er pattern. And in the states d o w n stream from M is­ souri and Illinois, the M ississippi flows wider, without the constrain­ ing levees. The river levels dropped in the m etropolitan area because the M ississippi continued to bulldoze through saturated levees in western Illinois, just to the east of the city, d u m p in g b illio n s of g a llo n s of water. M onday, it was the farming com­ m unity of V alm ever that paid the price; it was almost completely sub­ merged.

Associated Press Elders confirmation put on hold Associated Press W ASHINGTON — Dr. Joycelyn E lders m ay have to w ait an o th er m onth before p u ttin g on the s u r­ geon g en eral's uniform because a Senate R epublican is keeping her nom ination from com ing to a vote this week. The m ove M onday by Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla., m eans the Senate will not vote on the confirm ation u n til r e tu r n in g from its A u g u s t recess, which is to begin at the end of this week. Nickles has led the opposition to Elders, whom he has called a "radi- cal" for her blunt-spoken advocacy of a b o rtio n rig h ts, sex ed u c atio n and condom distribution. Although many of his fellow Republicans con­ cede the nomination eventually will be approved by the Senate, Nickles said M onday, "I h aven't given up hope." But neither does he claim to have the 51 votes needed to defeat her nor the 41 votes needed to m aintain a filib u ster. N ick les' hold on the nom ination buys the opposition a little time. "W ho know s w h at will happen o v er th e A u g u s t re c e ss as m o re in fo rm a tio n g e ts o u t a b o u t th is nom inee's background?" asked Sen.

The procedure is a courtesy that exists outside Senate rules, allowing individual members to keep a nom ination from coming up, usually so they can gather more information. The hold has no fixed time limit and can remain until Nickles is per­ suaded to remove it. E lders te stifie d for four hours before Kennedy's committee a cou­ ple of weeks ago and gave written answ ers to an o th er 198 questions that senators put to her in the week that followed.

VIEWPOINT Cell Division Set non-violent prisoners free Attom ev G eneral Janet Reno pounded the proverbial nail of truth on Friday when she argued that too many non-violent crim inals are going into our prison svstem and too many violent ones are being released. According to Reno, the nation's prison woes have to do with m andato­ rs. sentencing of low-level offenses. So she rightly recommended a review of sentencing guidelines. Judges need more leeway in prescribing punish­ ments — alternatives to prison for non-violent offend ers — precisely because we need more room to incarcerate the murderers among us. Building new’ prisons mac partially alleviate overcrowded inmate con ­ ditions in detention facilities, but w idespread incarceration is not the solution to the revolving-door spiral of crime which deluges our justice svstem with repeat offenders. The jail cell cannot rehabilitate crim inals; its walls are indifferent to the circu m stan ces of th ose w astin g aw ay w ithin. So m etim es the system affords crim inals a basketball court and a library full of lonely books. Occasionally, it offers free college degrees to those w ho earlier ignored education to concentrate on the seemingly more profitable life of crime. Either wav, prisoners fail to inculcate the fundamental lesson of societal integration: hard work and dedication correlate to success. Asking the current prison svstem to perform M ephistophelian transfor­ m ations on the inm ate population is like asking som eone w ith a h air­ dryer to evaporate the water overflowing the Midwest. Prisons are set up to rem ove cancerous elem ents in society — not to reform them. Since we do not expect convicts to “ get b e tte r," prisons have becom e sardine cans of retribution and incapacitation. At least while they are locked up, the justice system rationalizes, our unhappy law -breakers will not com m it more discourteous acts. This argu­ ment is true as far as it goes, but it does not go very far. As the irrefusable ticket lines in front of our prisons lengthen, long sen­ tences for violent crim inals shrivel up into short w rist-slaps devoid of strong deterrent effects. Potential crim inals can figure out that when a judge dishes out 20, they will probably only serve about five. In the jailhouse, those who are unfamiliar with the philosophy of vio­ lence soon leam how7 to survive. Prisons thus spit out hardened criminals who slip back onto city streets, no more prepared for the vicissitudes of the free market than when they were caught. Alternatives to prison — for example, house arrest, com m unity service, restitution, extended probation and half-way houses — should be encour­ aged. Judges need flexible options for the zillions of convicts standing for sentencing in front of the nation 's benches. M any of these com m unity alternatives have proven them selves effective in pilot program s around the country. W e should follow R eno's advice and im plem ent m ore of these programs on the national and state levels. — Craig Ackerman V Jere Reeling p o o r .

Myths still surround AIDS virus R obert R og ers' colum n stressing A ID S p reventive education (“ AIDS Threat, education prevents expan­ sion," Aug. 2) was w ell-intentioned but misguided. Today's reported AIDS cases do not reflect current trends in HIV infection. AIDS is the end result of eight- plus years o f HIV infection. Thus, to d ay 's reported AID S cases are decade-old data on pattern s o f HIV infection. ^ W o r ld w id e , 71 percent of those w ith AIDS are het­ erosexual. A lthough the C enters for D isease Control reports that today in the United States, 64 percent of the people with AIDS are gay men, this num ber is mis­ leading. H IV is currently spreading at a m uch faster rate among heterosexuals than am ong homosexuals. It will be another decade before the population of those with AIDS reflects how HIV is spreading today. For Rogers to imply that today only IV drug users and hom osexuals are seriously at risk for contracting HIV is extremely irresponsible. Education efforts must include responsible journalism and accurate reporting, and Rogers' column is an unfortunate example of irre­ sponsible journalism and inaccurate reporting. The A ustin HIV C om m ission 's m ost recent report states that those in the age group 20-29 have the high­ est incidence of newly reported AIDS cases. People in this age group w ere thus teen-agers when they con­ tracted HIV. The media should reflect this truth as evi­ dence of the dire need for better preventive education in our schools. Finally, Rogers' notion of w ithholding medical care as “punishm ent" for irresponsible behavior is absurd. No one w ould seriously entertain the notion of w ith­ holding medical care from old straight white men with heart d isease as “ p u n ish m e n t" for eating too m any fatty foods. M ichael Garbarino UT law student ■ * *2- Confederate flag represents hate _ W hat is it about people like Toby Petzold? Is it that they are truly strict interp reters of the C onstitution, concerned that overemphasis of the rights of the disad­ vantaged is unfairly eroding the values that make this country great? Nonsense. They are econom ic racists who use divi­ sive rhetoric to gain political support from the simple- minded m ajority in order to concentrate pow er and money in the hands of their own kind. Their own kind m ig h t e n th u s ia s tic a lly e m b ra c e (b u t o n ly ra re ly include) m en and women of any race or econom ic class providing that they show sufficient allegiance to the preservation of the rights of the m ajority and the status quo. For the majority on most issues can be culled from the ranks of simple folk using carefully crafted rhetoric to subvert complex issues with sim ple solutions. T ak e P e tz o ld 's tre a tm e n t o f Sen . C arol M o sle y - Braun's efforts to deny patent renew al of the United Daughters of the C onfederacy's insignia that displays the Confederate flag. Her effort to address an em otion­ al and h ence w idely in terp retable issue is a perfect forum for Petzold to discredit the legitim ate political efforts of the politically threatening m inority by fabri­ cating a subversively simple alternative viewpoint. Petzold begins by saying, “There is no valid reason to deny a patriotic social organization like the UDC its le g itim a te u se o f the C o n fe d e ra te f la g ." H e la te r attempts to deny the legitimacy of the “valid reason " he claims does not exist by saying that blacks should look upon the C on fed erate flag not as an o ffen siv e sym bol of the legacy o f racism in A m erica bu t as a symbol o f “victory and d eliverance" as do the C hris­ tians who so look upon the crucifix where their savior was put to death. That would be all well and good if what Am erican blacks enjoy today in victory and deliverance from dis­ crim in atio n w as one iota th e feelin g of v icto ry and deliverance Christians enjoy from the consequences of their sins. Toby's sim ple solution? Blacks should just be like the Christians and love the Confederate flag. Petzold goes on to d escribe the real issu es of the Civil W ar as the forcing of the Union to face the greater questions state's rights, the industrialization and edu­ cation of the South, the necessity of the Jeffersonian revolu tio n , and so on in ted iou s obfu scation. But it rem ains clear to the thinking readership that the real sym bolism in the Confederate flag is racism in Am eri­ ca today and that Toby Petzold wants to propagate the Big Lie that it's all just a black American attitude prob­ lem. M ike Harmon UT staff Homosexuality natural evolution All the talk about gays in the military is so judgm en­ tal, argum entative and censorious, it clouds the real issue.

Shouldn't this phenom enon be of major inter­ est to anthropologists, sociologists, futurists, theo lo ­ gians, philosophers, etc. The debate shouldn't be about soldiers in public showers; it's about the evolution of hum an nature.

U n fo rtu n a te ly , if passed, this econom ic program will do neither. The low in terest rates sought by C linton alread y exist. Long-term interest rates are at a 22-year low yet the econom y is sluggish. The reason is.the demand for money is low because of expected taxes. In the p ast, w hen a presid ent w anted to spur the economy he would em ploy a fiscal stimulus such as tax reduction or deficit-spending. The increased spending approach, generally favored by D em ocrats, was attem pted in the $16 billion “jobs bill." F ortu n ately, C ongress recognized that private investment would be crowded out and rejected the ill- conceived plan. More om inou sly, Clinton has ignored the effect of taxes on the econom y. Instead of lo w erin g taxes as President K enned y and P resid en t Reagan did, he is actually raising taxes on those who could turn around this economy. The corporate tax rate, for exam ple, is going to be raised to 35 percent. C on g ress has also added to an already restrictive capital gains tax. After such econom ic im pedim ents, it is no w onder that businesses are not taking advantage of rock-bot­ tom interest rates. W hy borrow m oney to expand if doing so will not be profitable? Interest rates could be zero, but if growth is not expected, a company will not expand. P rese n tly , m a n u fa ctu rers are lo o k in g at bloated inventories and low demand for products. These com ­ panies are not going to balk at low interest rates until there is someone w illing to purchase their products. The high taxes h ave also forced com p anies to cut back the work force in order to stay in business. So con­ sumers, worried about their jobs are also not enticed by low interest rates. Real incom e has grown at half the pace expected, w hich has kept key indicators like the housing m arket soft. Low interest rates work as a stimulus when people see the a rosy economy in the future. With consumer confi­ dence dropping five out of the past six months, the prospects for growth look bleak. The conclusion from all of this is that the low interest rates sought by Clinton already exist, yet have done lit­ tle for the economy. Any positive effects of low interest rates have been eclipsed by the punitive effects of high taxes on the economy. Low interest rates work as a stimulus when people see the a rosy econom y in the future. With consum er confidence dropping five out of the past six m onths, the prospects for growth look bleak. P robably the biggest sn afu of C lin to n 's plan is it requires econom ic growth to reduce the deficit. If the p resen t anem ic grow th co n tin u es, there w ill not be enough revenues from which to suck taxes. C linton would be benefit from using the tactics of Ronald Reagan. He reduced tax rates, yet increased tax revenues. U nfortunately, he is m im icking Bush, who in 1990 lowered tax revenue by increasing tax rates. If Clinton is not careful, he will suffer the same fate as his prede­ cessor come election time. Lewis is an accounting senior.

Oliveros Daily Texan Staff W ith N A T O a p p r o v a l of an a irs trik e against Bosrtia-Herzegovina, some UT stu­ dents and faculty said M onday the attack would do more harm than good. Dana C loud, an assistan t professor of speech com m unication and a m em ber of University International Socialists said U.S intervention will not ease hostilities, but increase them. "I'm completely opposed to the possibili­ ty of a L S. airstrik e a g a i n s t the Serbs, Cloud said. ' Historically, U.S. intervention in a conflict such as this has never saved lives, but has always escalated the conflict." Cloud said there is still a chance for reso­ lution. but L'.S interference could ruin that. "In fact, right now, with the three sides in the war ... almost reaching an agreement on partitioning Bosnia, intervention would be counterproductive," she said. "On princi­ ple, we w o u ld h av e to see L S. m ilitary action as an attem pt at global dom ination and not a> hum anitarian relief " Zoltán Barany, an assistant professor of gov ernm ent w h o teaches East E u ro pean politics, said the problems in Bosnia should have been resolved sooner."I think it s high tim e that the U S.

H o u rs b efo re N A T O a n n o u n c e d its approval, Mike Bourda, a graduate student in social work, said a U.S. airstrike without NATO su p p o rt w ould have contradicted President Clinton's earlier statements . "It seems in contrast to w hat Clinton was saving before about w anting the m ultina­ tional strike ... [the United States would be] acting u n ila te ra lly ," B ourda said. But "I think it is the best solution, even if it [were] unilateral." S tep h en C larke, a g ra d u a te stu d e n t in co m m unity/regional planning, said prob­ lems in Bosnia do not seem to be im portant to m ost people.'Tfs a tough call. I get the feeling that there are many who would like to leave the w hole issue alone and let the Balkans reshape them selves as they may, not out of apathy toward the victims ot the fighting but out of a sense of ultim ate help­ lessness," Clarke said. W es O g ilv ie, a m em ber of the Young C o n serv ativ es of Texas, said the U nited States needs to resolve its ow n problem s before intervening in a foreign country. "U nfortunately, these places [that have been racked b\ civil war] exist in the world and there is not much an independent third party can do," Ogilvie said. "Any side will trv to plav you against som eone else ... we have our own problems, and before we start acting as the w orld's 911, we should start responding to our own emergencies." Researchers tap old oil wells R alna A nderson Daily Texan Staff The developm ent of inexpensive and more accurate techniques of oil production by some UT researchers m ay resurrect parts of the Texas oil industry, UT researchers said Mon­ day. in the mid-1980s, the oil m arket became flooded and prices dropped drastically, causing oil companies to shut dow n many drilling operations in South and West Texas. But UT research ers, geologists, and engineers at the Bureau of Eco­ nomic Geology’ are working to help re s ta rt so m e of th ese o p e ra tio n s across Texas. The drop in the price of oil in the 1980s m ade it "economically ineffi­ cient" to continue operating certain oil wells, said Mark Holtz, a petrole­ um re s e a rc h e n g in e e r fo r the bureau. " A t so m e p o in t it c o st m ore m oney to produce the oil than what it was actually worth," Holtz said. UT researchers began working on n ew te c h n iq u e s of re trie v in g oil from reservoirs nearly 15 years ago b e c a u s e th e " p o te n tia l w a s n o t being realized," said Noel Tyler, UT assistant director for resource pro­ jects. "In Texas, 56 billion barrels have been produced. There are another 7 billion that have been proved. We know we can get it," Tyler said. "At the cu rren t rate of production, the [re m a in in g oil] has a 10-year life."Tyler said the researchers are focusing on the nearly 100 billion left behind. " T h e re is a th ird of th e oil we have already produced, and a third we can never get to. The final third is recoverable at today's prices with technology and techniques that we will use to [retrieve] the oil," Tyler said. H o ltz said th a t b e c a u s e m an y reservoirs have been abandoned, it is essential to learn ways to extend the lives of the reservoirs. " O u r know ledge has ev o lv ed ," H o ltz said . "W e now know th a t reservoirs are not just great pools of oil." R esearchers are learning how to extend the longevity of the reser­ voirs by studying their structure. "The architecture of the wells has become the focus of this research," is to T y ler s a id .

K elly Tabb Daily Texan Staff Health center urges students to call in for appointments The health center deals with students on an o utpa­ tient basis only, Steibom said. Students with life-threat­ ening cases should go to a hospital, he added. UT health center officials are stepping up efforts to encourage students to make appointm ents at the health center for m edical concerns not requiring im m ediate care, a Student Health Center spokesman said Monday. "M ore than 80 percent of the students coming in are non-urgent patients who come into the work-in clinic," said Dan Steinbom, spokesm an for the health center. The work-in clmic should be used for illnesses and accidents that require immediate attention, such as cuts w ith seriou s bleeding, S teinbom said. Students with mild cold sym ptoms, for example, can usually schedule appointm ents within one day, he said. For general appointm ents, students should call 471- 3138. For gynecology appointm ents, they should call 471-4158. A ppointm ents are available 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. M onday through Friday. There is no charge for appointm ents for current UT students between these hours, Steinbom said. However, there is a $30 charge for clinic visits on weekends and after 6 p.m. on weekdays. W hen s tu d e n ts sch e d u le a p p o in tm e n ts, they can choose w hich doctor or nurse practitioner they would like to see, Steinbom said.

"This is originally in response to student dem and to get cash, and we are trying to complete this in the next few weeks," said David Rea, a UT Department of Physi­ cal Plant architect for the project. The hut, which sits next to the Main Building in the W est Mall, is being built for the U niversity Federal Credit Union. "T here's some roofing to be added, b ut we should haye it finished by the coming fall semester," Rea said. Costs for the project have not been released, but Rea said the budget is not excessive. "W e've been asked to keep the project as minimal as possible — meaning we are using shop labor and things like that," he said. Rea said he thought the system w ould accept most Pulse cards. "The credit union is handling that part of it," he said.

Student child-care services merge As the independently run University Student Child­ care Association is set to merge with the UT Child Care Center, officials said M onday the cost of services will increase. The merger, set for Aug. 25, will raise prices because UT em ployee benefits will be extended to association em ployees, said Linda Robinson, director of the associa­ tion. The U n iv erisity C h ild c are A dvisory C om m ittee, a p p o in te d by the UT p re sid e n t, re co m m en d ed the merger take place after Robinson and co-director James Fisher announced their resignation in September 1992. The resignations will be effective fall, 1993, Robinson said. The association will be u n d er the direction of the C hild C are Center beginning in the fall sem ester, she said. C urrently, employees of the independently run asso­ ciation do not receive UT em ployee benefits such as health insurance and sick'leave, Robinson said. "The association [which is partially funded by Stu­ dent Services Fees] is more or less subsidized by our not receiving benefits," Robinson said. "For child care in general, parents cannot pay what it costs to have quality work. Most child-care providers do not receive benefits." The non-profit association, open only to children of UT students, is currently used by about 250 families. The services at the C hild C are C enter, how ever, are offered to 134 children of students, staff and faculty. The center has a waiting list of about 500, said Hara Cootes, assistant director of the Child Care Center. C urrently, students w ho use the association pay $9 per half day of supervision. In the fall, the association will charge $12 for a half day of care for children two to 12-months old and $10 per half day for children 12 to 24-months old, Robinson said. About 325 children are presently under the associa­ tion's care, and the majority are in the nighttim e ser­ vices, she added. Evening rates at the association at 604 W. 24th St. also will increase 50 cents per hour. Although the two child­ care facilities are merging, the association will continue to provide the same services, Cootes said. "[ I he center and the association] will remain separate except for new su pervision. [UT C hild C are C enter Director Sandra Briley] will be over that program as well, Cootes said. Parents who use the association had mixed reactions to the merger Monday. Amy Gregory, a graduate student in S p an ish /P o r­ tuguese who has used child care services at the associa­ tion for four years, said she is afraid the association will change under the center's supervision.

But Alice Shukalo, a graduate student in American Studies who has taken her five-year-old daughter to the association for four years, said she u n d ersto o d the necessity of a price increase. "As a single parent, the price increase is not welcome, but it's stiii reasonable," Shukalo .said. She said some new problems may face the association as part of the center.

I N T K \ \ \ P a g e 8 Tuesday. August 3 1993 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Characters structure ‘House’ Nelly Hugh-Jones Daily Texan Staff FILM M akin g a movie is not unlike building a house of cards. H ow ever well thought out, both can be e a sily collapsed into nothing more than an untidy jumble of pieces. How ever, if done well, both can become more than just the sum of the ■ M M M parts. A good house of cards can seem stable and strong. A good movie can build its own world around you, allowing you to immerse yourself in it. The story of House of Cards revo lve s around Sally Mathews, píayed unbelievably well by 5-year-old Asha Menina. Sally, her older brother Michael (Shiloh Strong), and their mother Ruth (Kathleen Turner) are returning to their home in North Carolina after spending a few years in Mexico. After the death of Sally's father in an acci­ dent, Sally's Mayan friend reassures her that people do not die, they simply go to another home, and that her father is in the moon. He also tells her a story of children who can see things as they are in dreams, but that don't speak because " It 's easier to see w ithout words." When Sally stops talking, no one thinks anything of it. Michael attributes it to his sis­ ter's weirdness, and her mother thinks she is simplv having a hard time adjusting. Other than ceasing to talk, Sally has devel- HOUSE OF CARDS Starring: Kathleen Turner, Tommy Lee Jones, Asha Menina Director: Michael Lessac Playing at: Village 4 Rating: ★★★V6 (out of five) oped an uncanny sense of balance and a total lack of fear in climbing. After an inci­ dent at school in which a boy follows Sally up a tree and falls and breaks his arm, the school sends a psychiatrist out to see what's wrong with Sallv. Dr. Beerlander, played by Tom m y Lee Jones, tries to convince Ruth that something is wrong with Sally, some­ thing that needs to be "fix e d ." Soon after, Sally builds an elaborate spiraling house of cards, w hich Ruth sees as S a lly 's w a y of communicating. Beerlander sees it as further proof of Sally's problem. The remainder of the story' is Ruth's battle to understand Sally before Beerlander fixes her, thus turning her into something that isn't Sally. The part of Ruth was originally meant to be Sally's father, but director Michael Lessac changed it after Turner read the script and said she wished there were more such parts for women. She was right to be impressed. Ruth is well-developed, has flaws, and fights for everything she accomplishes. Turner's performance in House of Cards proves that she doesn't have to use her sexuality in order to deliver a good performance. By leaving behind the confines of playing a sex- pot, Tu rner has allow ed herself greater range in her portrayal of Ruth. Asha Menina was remarkable. Sally is a child living in a different world, and Menina imparts an ethereal quality on the character. Even though she isn't saying anything, and hasn't for most of the movie, Menina's Sally is always expressive. The most amazing thing about this movie is its use of sound. Lessac gives his con­ structed world dimension beyond the visual by allowing the viewer to listen inside the ch aracters' heads. Thus, w e hear S a lly repeating phrases and snippets of conversa­ tion in her mind, an effect made more effec­ tive by the use of Menina's voice repeating what others have said to her. One of the best examples is our first time in the Mathews N o rth C arolina home. The camera pans around, focusing on family pictures, as past conversations overlap and create a feeling of a home thriving with life. As the camera set­ tles on Ruth, the voices fade away, and the house is quiet and empty. W alter Murch, award-winning picture and sound editor, edited House of Cards and his talent is well showcased ináiouse of Cards. In his feature film debut Lessac has suc­ ceeded in building a stunning House of Cards. The story of a little girl who has stopped talking since the death of her father and of her mother's attempts to understand rather than simply cure her daughter could easily have become a preachy melodrama. Instead, Lessac has constructed a solid story faintly colored by mysticism. There is no deus ex machina in the last five minutes to resolve and explain everything. The characters fum­ ble to their own solutions, which is ultimate­ ly more satisfying for the viewer. Tom and Jerry make uncomfortable transition to film Kathleen Turner portrays a substantive, involved mother in House of Cards Michael Zey Daily Texan Staff M arge Sim pson must be on the loose again. Marge Simpson, as you m ay or may not know, is the sanctim onious mother on the hit series The Simpsons. In one past she episode, protested against the cartoon violence in a cat and mouse series called Itchy and Scratchy. She had her way, and the violent cartoon antics were replaced with friendship and other sorts of emotional b o n d in g that w ere one notch short of singing " I love you, you love me." W ell, life imitates art with the release of Tom and Jerry, M ira m a x 's new feature- length animated film, based on M G M 's clas­ sic cat and mouse series. Tom and Jerry, famed for their brutal feudings, have to learn to get along this time around. Not only do they get along, they become best friends. It all begins to go dow n hill early on, when the animals start to talk. That's right TOM A N D JE R R Y — THE MOVIE Starring: The voices of Richard Kind, Charlotte Rae, Dana Hill Director: Phil Roman P laying at: Great Hills 8, Lincoln 6, Northcross 6, Westgate 8 Rating: ★ 1/5 (out of five) time and money on making a movie based on the characters if they remove everything the characters stood for? People pay money to see Tom and Je rry for a reason. W h y deny people that in order to be P.C.? W ill W ile E. Coyote become a vegetarian in the future? Everything about the movie is negligible. The story (p re p a re y o u rs e lf) re vo lve s around an orphan named Robyn who is try­ ing to escape from her evil Aunt Figg. And, of course, she has help from a certain cat and mouse team. The songs, by Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse, are unmemorable. They slow the action instead of adding to it. Many people used these musical interludes for restroom breaks or trips to the concession stands. Jerry so u n d s like Rocky the Squirrel on helium. The animation is on par w ith Saturday morning cartoons. The movement is pain­ fully awkward and the color is garish. The humor is virtually non-existent. With the slapstick absent, the movie has to rely on quirky dialogue and colorful characters to get laughs. The problem with that is the dialogue is asinine and characters are as thin as the paper on which they're drawn. Worst of all, the audience, most of whom were small children, were extremely under­ impressed. They grew restless quickly, and the grownups fidgeted. N ow that Miramax is owned by Disney, it is advisable that they< pick up some animation tips from their new bosses. The only people that this movie would please are Rev. Donald W ild m o n , Terry Rakolta and the other radical activists at the Am erican Fa m ily Association, of w hich Marge Simpson is undoubtedly a member. The sad part is that they think they are help­ ing children w ith this whitew ashing. O f this, Bart Simpson said, " I think it sucks." Not very eloquent, but very true. Tom and Jerry make direct contact on the big screen in Tom and Jerry — The Movie. — after years of silence, they open their mouths and begin conversing. Tom sounds like a reject from Guys and Dolls and Jerry sounds like Rocky the Squirrel on helium. Now, it's not that there is anything wrong with getting along, or even talking for that matter. But Tom and Jerry have had a long history together. They've become famous for inflicting pain and torture on each other. W h y w ou ld anyone bother to spend the Smoke-free sentiment outs closet smokers, draws new guidelines Associated Press L O S A N G E L E S — T e le visio n , which kicked the cigarette advertis­ ing habit under duress more than tw o decades ago, is still blowing smoke at viewers. But the tobacco-stained series popping up on TV often include the dram atic equivalent of a surgeon general's warning. In episode after episode, characters who puff are chastised, criticized and mocked. Banish the classic film image of suave Paul Henreid lighting up a pair of cigarettes and bestowing one on Bette Davis in Now, Voyager; pic­ ture, instead; M arg e Sim p so n 's frumpy, chain-smoking sisters. " In general, televisio n's much better than the movies in not glam­ orizing tobacco and tobacco addic­ tion," says Joe Chemer, president of Smokefree Educational Services, a nonprofit, N e w York-based an ti­ smoking group. On Beverly Hills, 90210, Brenda (Shannen Doherty) is unmasked as a closet smoker and has to endure friends' comments about how, like, Y U C K Y , cigarette breath smells. The peer pressure leads her to quit. A scene in the sitcom Wings shows an unhappy Helen (Crystal Bernard) w ith an uncharacteristic cigarette in hand. Confronted by another character about it, she says that she's trying to kill herself. C hain sm ok ers on other series kicked the habit, including an attor­ ney on L.A. Law and a sportswriter on Love and War. H e a lth and social acceptance aside, smoking took shots for other destructive tendencies. Smokers, generally, are subpar role models, such as Marge's lowlife siblings in The Simpsons or a snide newscaster puffing a ciggie off-cam- era on the sitcom Home Free. There are shows where smoking goes unchallenged. In the comedy Evening Shade, Burt Reynolds and Elizabeth Ashley have been shown puffing cigars (him) and cigarettes (her) contentedly. Victor Fresco, Evening Shade's co­ executive producer, said smoking has never been scripted, but intro­ duced at the request of the actors themselves. For tobacco pushers, all this anti­ smoking propaganda doesn't create a pretty picture. In the good old days, before TV was pushed into banning cigarette ads, there was a w arm and cozy relationship between the T V and tobacco industries. Smoking was omnipresent: ciga­ rette m akers sponsored popu lar shows, w ith such blatant prom o­ tions as one host's signoff recalled by Chem er: "T h is is A rth u r buy- em-by-the-pack Godfrey." Series stars such as Steve McQueen, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball gave smiling pitches for ciga­ rette brands; even stone-age carton character Fred Flinistone hawked a label. (G o d fre y , M c Q u e e n and Am az all developed lung cancer.) Television's current anti-smoking fervo r m ay be that of a sinner reformed yet again. A fter weaning itself from ciga­ rette a d ve rtis in g , T V n etw o rks adopted voluntary guidelines that called for smoking only when essen­ tial to the character being depicted. But about a year ago, backsliding series began puffing and wheezing their w ay through pack after pack — often w ithout an anti-smoking punchline. The trend was so noticeable that it raised hackles among viewers who complained to John Banzhaf, execu­ tive director of Action on Smoking and H e a lth , and a professor at George Washington University Law School. Banzhaf called the growth in TV smoking illogical, if not suspicious: T h e re 's a clear increase in a n ti­ smoking sentiment among the pub­ lic, and smokers have dropped to about 25 percent of the U.S. popula­ tion. A lso alert to the issue was the Entertainment Industries Council, a 10-year-old non-profit group which uses industry resources to deal with such social and health topics. A b o u t a year ago, the co u n cil undertook a Tobacco in Media pro­ ject to help producers and writers avoid the gratuitous or positive use of tobacco. The project drew up a series of guidelines, including suggestions that cigarettes be abandoned as m ere props for actors and that smoking be depicted as addictive b e h avio r, not a " p o s itiv e social activity."

August 3. 1993 Teaff bids farewell to Baylor post Associated Press WACO — G ran t Teaff bid an em otional farewell to Baylor University after a 21-year association, but he's not traveling far away. Teaff, 59, accepted the executive director­ ship of the American Football Coaches Asso­ ciation M onday effective in January' and will move the headquarters from Orlando, Fla., to Waco. “ It w as a very difficu lt d ecisio n ," Teaff sa id . “ My fa m ilv h a d a d e e p e m o tio n a l investm ent in Baylor U niversity. We leave with a heavy heart because the university has been very good to us but we also leave with a big smile on our face." Teaff w ill resign his athletic directorship effective Aug. 31 and Baylor was expected to give the job to Dick Ellis, currently the associ­ ate athletic director. Baylor has scheduled a news conference at 11 a.m. Tuesday. Teaff, the winningest football coach in Bay­ lor history, handed over the head coaching job to assistant C huck Reedy in January to become a fulltime athletic director. “ I'm very excited for G rant," Reedy said. “ He'll do a great job. And I'll still have him around for some advice." Teaff said, "I'll be at Floyd Casey Stadium for the opener [against Fresno State] but I may be in a balloon over it. I d o n 't think I could handle sitting in the stands. "I'll miss being on the sidelines during foot­ ball season. H ow ever, I told Chuck I w o n 't miss two-a-days [practices]." Teaff replaced C harley M cClendon, w ho will step dow n from his position on Jan. 1, 1994. Teaff committed to the AFCA for 10 years. "I to ld 'em I'd do it in fiv e-y ear in c re ­ m ents," Teaff said. "I'll go five years and see how I feel. "I do have a uniqueness for the job. It goes back to the fact that I'v e coached at every level. I've been a head coach in Division III. And I've coached in Division 1-A. " Teaff had a record of 128-105-6 an d his team s w ere 4-4 in bowrl appearances. Teaff took Baylor to the Cotton Bowl twice only to lose. O nly th ree o th er coaches, D arrell Royal, Frank Broyles, and Jess Neely have won more gam es in th e S o u th w e st C on feren ce th an Teaff, who became Bavlor head coach on Dec. 23,1971. In a taped message, Baylor president Her­ bert Reynolds thanked Teaff for his "loyalty." Teaff had num erous offers to leave Baylor and came closest to going when he received a big bid from the University of Southern Cali­ fornia. "O n e of the reasons I decided to stay at Baylor w as b ecause I trea su red the fam ily environm ent," Teaff said. "I'm leaving some great m em ories." Teaff has been chairman of the AFCA ethics and rules committees. He said the AFCA faced some great chal­ lenges. "T h ere 's a m ove to cut scholarships and other restraints have been threatened," Teaff said. "I intend to lead the fight for the things we believe. The future is scary." Dallas settling in comfort zone Associated Press IR V IN G — W in n in g fo o tb a ll games is Jimmy Johnson's life. So he can't even stomach a sloppy loss of a m eaningless exhibition gam e in August. Johnson is-already jittery about his defending Super Bowl cham pi­ ons, although the first regular sea­ son game is still a m onth aw ay and quarterback Troy Aikman and run­ ning back Emmitt Smith are out of action. The Minnesota Vikings inflicted a 13-7 defeat on th e sore an d tired Dallas Cowboys Sunday night and Jo h n so n ac te d like so m eo n e h a d stolen his $7,500 Super Bowl ring. “ It w o u ld be v e ry easy to say w e 'll be fin e w h e n th e se a so n sta rts ," said a red-faced Johnson, w hose team leaves for London on Tuesday for next Sunday's "A m eri­ can Bowl" game against the Detroit Lions. "W e need a sense of urgency on this team. It will be difficult to cor­ rect in next w eek's practices but it will be corrected w hen we get back to Austin." W hat Johnson w ants to correct is five tu rn o v ers, three lost fum bles and two interceptions, that kept the Cowboys from m ounting any seri­ ous offense. However, the Cowboys will get only two days of hard work in London. Johnson didn't make any excuses for his dog-tired team w hich h ad th ree days of scrim m ages against th e L os A n g e le s R a id e rs a n d a scrimmage w ith the Houston Oilers just before they played the Vikings. " I saw a team th a t has a lot of holes to fill," Johnson said. “ I don't w ant to be an alarm ist b u t every­ body seems to be extremely happy to w e a r th e ir S u p e r Bowl rin g s. There's 27 team s out there w aiting to take those rings." Considering Smith is holding out in Florida and Aikman is recovering from back surgery, Johnson's o u t­ b u rs t see m e d to be o v e rk ill th is early in the season. R o o k ie w id e re c e iv e r K evin Williams said Johnson w as livid in the dressing room after the game. “ The coach w as at least a level th re e -p o in t s c a le ," tw o on a Williams said. The Cowboys lost one of their up- and-com ing defensive stars w hen safety D arren W oodson suffered a fracture of his right forearm. "I'm very disappointed," W ood­ son said. "That's a lot of hard work down the drain." Did the Cowboys miss Smith? On 20 rushes by D errick Lassie, Mike Beasley, Daryl Johnston and Jason G a rre tt the C ow boys got a total of 50 yards. "It was as ugly a game as w e've played in a long tim e," said John­ son. Rangers outpower Chicago Associated Press ARLINGTON — Pinch-runner Manuel Lee capped a hitless ninth- inning rally by scoring on a w ild pitch and the Texas Rangers defeat­ ed Chicago 9-8 M onday night to stop the White Sox' six-game w in­ ning streak. T he R an g ers, w h o sc o re d five runs in the sixth inning on one hit, trim m ed C hicago's lead in the AL W est to 4 1 /2 gam es over Kansas C ity an d 5 1 /2 o v e r th ird -p la c e Texas. W ith one out, Jeff Schwarz (2-2) w alked Julio Franco, and Lee came in to pinch run. Scott Radinsky then relieved and w alked pinch h itte r John R ussell. D onn Pall rep laced Radinsky and got Dean Palmer on a ground out to first base, moving the runners up. Pall's wild pitch, on a 1- 1 co u n t on D oug S trange, scored Lee. Chicago had tied the score 8-8 in the ninth off Tom Henke (5-3). With one out, Bo Jackson struck out, but re a c h e d firs t on G eno P e tr a lli's passed ball. Steve Sax, p inch-run­ ning for Jackson, scored from first on a double to right field by Lance Johnson. N ine Rangers batted in the sixth a g a in s t s ta r te r Jaso n B ere an d Bobby Thigpen. With the W hite Sox leading 3-2, Bere loaded the bases on a walk to Gonzalez, Franco's sin­ gle and a walk to Petralli. Thigpen hit Palmer with his first pitch to tie the gam e an d w alked Strange on four pitches to force in th e g o -a h e a d ru n . H e h it M ario D iaz w ith h is n ex t p itc h to p u t Texas in front 5-3. G a ry R e d u s ' sa c rific e fly a n d B utch D a v is ' f ie ld e r 's ch o ice grounder drove in two more runs. Chicago rallied with four runs in the eighth off Cris C arp en ter, the third Texas pitcher. Ozzie Guillen's sacrifice fly accounted for the first run, Joey Cora hit an RBI double, and Frank Thomas delivered a two- run single off Tom Henke to narrow Texas' lead to 8-7. Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson talks in a fatherly fashion to the Cowboy’s No.1 draft choice Kevin Williams during Sunday’s preseason game. Johnson is concerned that the Cowboys have gotten too cocky.
