The sw eeping decision rendered in M arch by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was upheld, making affirmative action policies unconstitution­ al at universities in the court's jurisdiction, which includes Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. C o u n sel fo r p la in tiffs in th e H op w ood vs. Texas lawsuit declared M onday that affirmative action at the University is dead. In a b rief opinion issued by Su prem e C ourt Justices David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the court stated it would not take the Hopwood case the on the grounds that the UT School of Law restructured its adm issions policy after the case was filed. "The petition before us ... does not challenge the lower court's judgments that the particular admis­ sions procedure used by the University of Texas Law School in 1992 was u nco n stitu tio n al," the opinion stated. "Instead, the petitioners challenge the rationale relied on by the Court of Appeals." The opinion added that the court "m ust await a final judgment on a program genuinely in con­ troversy before addressing the im portant ques­ tion raised in this petition." Attorneys on both sides of the case said they w ere disappointed the Suprem e Court w ill not rule on the issue. "It is absolutely devastating and bizarre that three of the states with the worst histories on race relations are told that they and they alone cannot take race into accoun t to achieve the goals of either diversity or desegregation. It's a blow to the U n iv ersity ," said Sam uel Issacharoff, legal counsel for the UT System. Attorneys for the plaintiffs added the court's deci­ sion not to hear the case will leave the 5th Circuit hanging alone in the affirmative action debate. "Texas and the nation would have been better served by taking the case," said Steven Smith, the Austin lawyer who filed the reverse discrimination lawsuit against the UT School of Law in 1992, charg­ ing that the UT law school's adm issions policies unfairly discriminated against white applicants. "We served our purpose to bring the issue to the Please see Hopwood, page 6 UT students denounce praise latest decision MIKE CARR Daily Texan S ta ff The Suprem e Court's decision not to review the Hopwood case stirred up an old debate on affir­ mative action that deeply divides students.

We re always in the business to improve.

P ostal Se rv ice em ployees participated in a nationw ide picket Monday to express their concern about the post­ master general's plan to privatize some parts of the U.S. Postal Service. The Austin-area local of the Am erican Postal W orkers' Union and several letter carriers pick­ eted outside the downtown post office to inform th e p u b lic o f P o s tm a s te r G e n e ra l M arv in Runyon's intentions. "O ur biggest complaint is that the postmaster general wants to privatize the postal service," said Claudia Richardson, president of the Austin APWU. "H e is divvying up the postal service to sell to private sectors. W e are here to tell the public we are opposed to the privatization of the postal serv ice." The APWU is a multi-craft union consisting of U.S. postal clerks, personnel and other non-carri­ er employees. "W e think we do a good job for a great price. And we make no apologies. But obviously Mr. Runyon thinks he can do better by contracting out," Richardson said. APWU members said if Runyon continues to p riv atize the postal serv ice, m ore than 2,000 good paying )obs in Austin, and 750,000 nation­ wide, could be replaced with m inim um wage workers. Ben Solis, motor vehicle craft director for the U.S. Postal Serv ice, said Runyon's plan to reduce costs by privatizing the postal service has back­ fired , le ad in g to m o re e x p e n siv e w ork w ith unsatisfactory results.

Reaction: Former MEChA president upset Continued from page 1 that universities within its jurisdic­ tion, including the University, could n o lo n g e r u s e race as a b a s is for admissions. The 5th Circuit decision will stand a f te r t h e S u p r e m e C o u r t r u le d Monday not to hear the case. Victor Saenz, former president of th e U T M o v im e n to E s t u d ia n ti l C h i c a n a / o d e Aztlán, said he w as disturbed to learn the Supreme Court had rejected the case. "I am very' upset, This is a serious setback," he said. "This goes against e v e ry th in g we have been w o rk in g for." S a e n z s a id th e S u p r e m e C o u r t shirked its duty. "It's irresponsible that they d on't w a n t to ta k e the case ," he sa id . "Everyone agreed that it was a per­ fect case for them." But Corbin Casteel, p re s id e n t of the UT College Republicans, had the opposite reaction to the court's action. "It's great because now every high school senior will be looked at impar­ tially and fairly and not on the basis of the color of his skin," he said. Vanessa Richards, a g o v e rn m e n t junior studying at the University as the result of a four-year affirmative action h onors aw ard, said she w as not shocked at the Supreme Court's action. "I think it's pretty' pathetic, but I'm not surprised with the w hole racist a tm o sp h e re that is going a roun d," said Richards, w ho carries a 3.7 grade point average. Carson Meredith, a chemical engi­ neering g ra d u a te stud ent, said the Supreme Court made a good decision because a d m ittin g s tu d e n ts on the basis of racial preferences is a short­ term solution to the problem of dis­ crimination. "If you make it easier for one eth­ nic group to get into college, it does not force them to devise a long-term p la n to o v e r c o m e their d i s a d v a n ­ tages," he said. Without affirmative action, Metajo Neal, a history senior, m a y not be able to attend law school because her grades are average. But N e a l said as m id d l e - a g e d w omanshe has benefited greatly from affirm ative action. She decried the Supreme Court's action. "It's people like me who are really getting the shaft on this kind of deal," she said, adding that without affirma­ tive action she m ay not be able to attend law school because of average grades. E nn Randolph, an English senior w ho plans to apply to the UT School of Law, said students should not be admitted on the basis of high grades only, which she added may be a con­ sequence of the court's action. That is w hat infuriates me. Just because you have a 4.0 does not make you the best candidate," she said. M in o rity s tu d e n ts h a v e u n iq u e backgrounds that should be consid­ ered also, she said.

They had already killed a brother, Beau, at 18 months. But marveling scientists report that Jordan m anaged to heal him self, returning a flawed gene to normal. Today, the Stanton, Mich., youth is a healthy 13-year-old who builds tree houses, earns A's and B's and plays saxophone in the school band. Somehow, at som e unk now n time, Jordan's body rewrote his genetic lega­ cy and stopped his disease, correcting a tiny but crucial typographical error in one stretch of DNA. The fix may have occurred first in just one cell of his body. That would be akin to taking a desk piled high with m ultiple stacks of paper, all photocopies of a single, thousand-w ord treatise, and fixing the w o rd " k n it ” to " k n o t" on ju st one page. I his is the best-docum ented exam ­ ple of a very rare event, a gene expert fam iliar w ith the report, Dr. H agop Youssoufian of Brigham and W omen's Hospital and Harvard Medical School said.

C onsum er group w ants no-cal fat o ff m arket ■ W A SH IN G TO N — A c o n su m e r group asked the governm ent Monday to ban the nation's first zero-calorie fat replacer, which the group says gave 192 M id w e ste rn e rs d ia rrh e a . Som e p e o p le w h o u sed the fat re p la c e r, called olestra, were sick for days. Citing an 11-year-old Colorado boy who missed three days of school after eating six ounces of Frito-Lay potato chips made with olestra, the Center for S cience in th e P u b lic In te re s t said warning labels on the fake fat are not enough protection. "Your products are making some of your best customers sick, some of them very sick, CSPI chief Michael Jacob­ son wrote Frito-Lay Monday. O lestra m anufacturer Procter «Sc Gamble called the claims an "irrespon­ sible" attempt to frighten Americans. Frito-Lay said 200,000 bags of "Max" chips have sold so far, and only 67 peo­ ple have called the company to com­ plain of gastrointestinal side effects. — Com piled from Associated Press reports Muslim scholars condemn bombing Associated Press D H A H R A N , S au d i A ra b ia — U sin g fo rk lifts to p o s itio n c o n c re te b a rrie rs , w o rk e rs e x p a n d e d th e se c u rity w a ll around the bom bed U.S. m ilitary housing complex Monday, while top Muslim schol­ ars condemned the attack as "un-Islamic." Maj. Bob Dew ald, the A ir Force's new chief of security in Dhahran, said the new wall and other security m easures would be com pleted this week to better protect the 2,000 A m erican troops liv in g at the Al- Khobar com plex. But he w arned that no security steps were foolproof. "W e all know anything is possible. We are not go in g to be able to 100 p ercent guarantee security of this base any time, or any base in the world any tim e," Dewald told reporters. As he spoke, w orkers struggled in 109- degree heat to build the wall, which keeps vehicles 400 feet away from the residential complex of sand-colored, eight-story build­ ings. The security perim eter w as only 80 feet aw ay from th e com plex w h e n a b o m b ­ laden fuel truck exploded June 25, killing 19 A m ericans and in ju rin g h u n d re d s of other people.

Troops are also banned from going into Dhahran, except on official business, "until we get a better assessment of what's going or., said Air Force Capt Scott v’adnais. A suspicious truck had reportedly been seen near the dormitories about two weeks before the bombing, but Dewald was not convinced the incidents were related. "Somebody apparently saw a truck (sev­ eral weeks ago), and now there's been a truck bomb so there's a correlation being draw n," D ewald said. "I'm not sure it is factual." Saudi A rabia's highest religious body co n d e m n e d the bo m bing M onday in a statem en t carried on the front pages of Saudi newspapers. The influential Council of Senior Islamic Scholars, chaired by the kingdom 's chief Muslim theologian, Sheik Abdul-Aziz bin Baz, said it was a violation of Islamic rules to jeopardize the security of the country or attack anyone living under the protection of an Islamic state. "A nyo ne who carried out such an act will never go to heaven. Islam and Mus­ lims have nothing to do with this criminal act," said the 21-member council. S uspicion in the attack is focused on Muslim militants who want to drive West­ ern troops out of the kingdom , which is home to Islam's holiest shrines. Muslim militants also have been blamed for the bom bing of an American military b u ild in g in R iyadh last N ovem ber th at killed five A m ericans and tw o Indians. Four Saudis were beheaded for their role in the attack. President Clinton has dispatched at least 40 FBI experts to assist in the investigation, but the group has so far refused to speak with reporters. The disclosure of the suspicious truck seen about three weeks ago came in a brief­ ing by an Air Force officer late Sunday. He told re p o rte rs the truck had been seen n ear the w este rn side of the com ­ pound by a Saudi woman who alerted her h u sb an d . The m an, in turn, told S audi police and provided a license number. The American officer, speaking on con­ dition of ano nym ity, said base security officials learned of the incident only Satur­ day.

High court lets failed S&Ls sue government ■Associated Press WASHING TON — The Suprem e C ourt ruled Monday the governm ent can be sued by sav in g s an d loans th a t p lu n g ed in to financial trouble w hen C ongress changed accounting rules. The decision could cost taxpayers $10 billion or more. On the last day of the 1995-96 term, the court said the governm ent broke its con­ tracts w'ith three S&Ls it had encouraged to take over other institutions. The three were forced into the red them selves when C on­ gress in 1989 changed the w ay thrifts m ust count their assets. The Clinton adm inistration had said a rul­ ing for the S&Ls couid cost the government $10 billion in dam ages in about 100 similar cases Analyst Claire Fleming of the invest­ ment banking firm Friedman, Billings, Ram­ sey said the cost could go as high as $20 bil­ lion. Writing the court's main opinion, Justice David H. Souter said that the contract terms "are enforceable and that the government is therefore liable in damages for breach." Souter said "it would, indeed, have been m adness" for the three S&Ls to have agreed to take over ailing thrifts withiout a binding promise that they could rely on accounting rules then in effect. S tep h en Bokal of the U.S. C ham ber of Com merce said the ruling means, "If you breach a contract you've got to pay dam ­ ages, w hether you're the governm ent or a private party." In other action as they headed for sum ­ mer recess, the ju>tices: ■ Revived a free-speech challenge to Balti­ more's prohibition on billboard ads for ciga­ rettes, telling a federal ap p eals court to restudy its ruling that had upheld the ban. ■ Ruled that police generally do not need court w arrants before searching cars they reasonably believe are carrying narcotics. ■ Refused to revive M issouri's $100 to $300 caps on individual campaign contribu­ tions to candidates for state and local politi­ cal offices. The S&L ruling upholds a federal appeals court decision th at said the governm ent breached its contracts with the three S&Ls. The case now retu rn s to a low er court to determine the am ount of damages they are owed. Stephen Trafton, chairman of California- based G lendale Federal Bank, one of the thrifts involved in the case, said a hearing on damages could begin by November. "In breaking its promise, the government nearly destroyed this bank," Trafton added. At issue w as a 1989 law that sought to restore the troubled thrift industry to health by tightening rules and providing money to close in so lv en t S&Ls. O v erall, th e S&L cleanup has cost about $200 billion. Until then, the governm ent had encour­ aged healthy thrifts to take over insolvent ones by letting them count the insolvent S&Ls' losses as "goodwill" assets. S&Ls also were allowed to double-count as "capital credit" governm ent funds pro­ vided to help them take over ailing thrifts. But the 1989 law said S&Ls no longer could count such assets toward their mini­ mum capital requirements. The rule change forced many previously healthy S&Ls into the red. Many of them sued, including W instar Corp. of Minnesota, Statesman Savings H olding G roup of Iowa and Glendale Federal Bank Each had taken over troubled thrifts and was allowed to count millions of dollars as goodw ill assets to be written oft over «í least 25 years — $716 million for Glendale, $9.1 million for W instar and $26 million for Statesman. Statesm an also counted $26 mil­ lion in capital credit. After the 1989 law barred those amounts from being counted, W instar and Statesman were forced into receivership. Glendale had to raise about $450 million to m eet its mini­ mum. The C ourt of F ed eral Claims ruled that the governm ent breached its contracts with the three, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal C ircu it agreed. The Suprem e Court affirmed. Souter called "fu n d a m e n ta lly im plausi­ ble" the governm ent's argument that it did not promise to allow the S&Ls to count the assets in the future. Yeltsin talks to public 1 last time before vote Associated Press M OSCOW — A fter a se rie s of m issed m eetings and no-show cam paign a p p e a r­ ances, a weary Boris Yeltsin addressed voters for the first time in a week Monday as Russ­ ian officials tried to dispel concerns about the president's health. Yeltsin urged Russians to choose freedom — not Communism — in W ednesday's presi­ dential runoff between himself and Com m u­ nist challenger Gennady Zyuganov. Monday was the last day of cam paigning before the vote. We have one Russia, one future, one path to norm al life," a tired but firm -speaking Yeltsin said in a televised appeal. "Vote for the new Russia! Only together we shall win!" "Y ou w ill v o te not o n ly for Y eltsin or Z yu gan ov," the p resident said. "Y ou will vote for yourself, your family, the future of your children." Yeltsin's campaign has been marred in the last week by a revival of old worries about his fitness for a second term. Despite a history of heart trouble, the 65- year-old Yeltsin managed to keep up a busy campaign schedule before the first round of voting June 16. He jetted around the country, waded into crowds, visited mines and facto­ ries, danced at rock concerts. But a week ago, Yeltsin abruptly canceled a short campaign journey, and sent Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin to France for the G-7 sum m it. The president m issed a ASSOCIATED PRESS M uscovites m ake their way past a huge p o s te r o f B o ris Y e lts in th a t re a d s ‘‘Together, we'll win.” meeting with farmers on Fridav, a festival in Moscow on Sunday and a meeting Monday with the presidents of Ukraine and Moldova. He did tape his televised appeal Monday, according to officials, and held meetings at his country residence with C hernom yrdin and the national security adviser, Alexander Lebed. Russian IV reports showed a slightly pale Yeltsin discussing elections w ith the premier. " E le c tio n s a re the m ain th in g n o w ," Yeltsin said "The decisive moment is com­ ing for all of us." C h e rn o m y rd in , w ho w o u ld tak e o v er should the president be incapacitated, said Yeltsin was recovering from a cold. Aides have insisted the president merely lost his voice after giving too many interviews. Asked at a news conference if Yeltsin suf­ fered another bout of the heart ailment that landed him in hospital twice last vear, Cher­ nom yrdin laughed Mexican town fears mysterious rebels Associated Press PASO REAL, M exico — The m en with the masks and the guns appeared suddenly, then vanished like phantoms. The army poured in after them. And the people of Paso Real are afraid. They have good reason: a state-wide history of violence that includes a road­ sid e m a ssa c re a y e a r ago in w hich police killed 17 unarmed peasants, five of them from Paso Real. Now* comes word of a second extraor­ dinary event at the same spot about five miles dow n the road in these isolated coastal mountains in the Pacific state of Guerrero. On Friday, at a rally to commemorate the m assacre, dozens of arm ed insur­ gents fired AK-47 assault rifles into the air, called for the overthrow of the gov­ ernm ent and said people w ould hear more from them. The sudden appearance of a group of sk i-m ask ed , arm ed m en w ith leftist rhetoric and allegations of governm ent corruption and oppression recalled the surfacing of the Zapatista National Lib­ e ra tio n A rm y on Jan 1, 1994 in th e southern state of Chiapas. Like Chiapas, the area around Paso Real is poor. It is also violent: Leftist rebellions broke out am ong the dirt- poor farmers in the 1960s and again in the 1970s, and peasant groups still clash frequently with police. In Paso Real, a cluster ot adobe huts, everybody seemed to know about the latest incident. But few w ould adm it that they had heard of the Popular Rev ­ olu tio n ary A rm y that the in su rg en ts claimed to belong to. A teen-ager pushing his bicvcle down the road Sunday pointed to a hill over­ looking the monument to the victims ot the June 28, 1995 massacre "They came down there," he said. But he w'ould not say more: "I know nothing. They might kill me too." T hings w ere different a year ago. After the m assacre, people were out­ raged, grief-stricken and would talk to anyone who w'ould listen. Now' people shake their heads when asked about the rebels and w alk away. A reporter said he was threatened with clubs when he asked questions. Even Andres Sanchez, who was shot in the hip d u rin g the m assacre and is still bitter that the government has not come through with promised benefits, said he did not see the armed men. "I just saw p eop le running away," Sanchez said. "After w’hat happened a year ago, you m u s t u n d e rsta n d why they ran They remember." Reporters w ho were at the rally ‘■aid the armed men s appearance startled the crow'd and caused some to flee out of fear that they w ere police o r soldiers Reporters said m anv of them cheered w h e n the m en a n n o u n c e d th at they were rebels. But w h o are th e self-proclaim ed rebels? The official line is that thev are proba­ bly common delinquents or local leftists flexing their m uscles. Many area resi­ dents have other ideas. "A guerrilla group," offered Rogelio Ramos. M aybe thev w ere govern m en t agents in disguise, like the government does many things," Sanchez >aid. Som e su g g e ste d they w ere linked with the leftist Campesino Organization of the Southern Sierra But that group s leader. Benigno Guzman Martinez, said he had not even known of their exis­ tence. EDITORIALS Case leaves unanswered questions For confidential help — i / m 24 honra a day diH W M H c Ia i l i l A service of the UT Counseling end Menial Health Center Cheryl Hopwood has made histo­ ry. The case bearing her name out­ the lined for the U niversity all frauds of our n atio n 's obsession w ith race-based policies. But now that the Supreme Court has denied UT Law 's appeal, it's less likely the nation will hear just how wrong­ headed the school's secretive admis­ sion policy was. UT Law set up a program that placed applications in different piles based on race and denied hundreds of w hite applicants adm ission before denying even one black or H ispanic applicant. W hites w ith scores identical to minorities had only a 6 percent chance of admis­ sion, while minority applicants had close to a 100 percent chance. Only open records requests and protract­ ed litigation brought these facts to light. To defend the system ic discrim i­ nation that excluded Hopwood, a CPA who lost a child to cerebal cleverly adm inistrators palsy, G eo ff H enley TEXANCOLUMNIST By denying certiorari, the court has not affirmed the 5th Circuit. But at least the justices stated that the 5th Circuit judges were not, as some UT law profs assert­ ed, runaway radicals read­ ing tea leaves instead of the law. played the roles of humble, em bat­ tled bureaucrats, openly defending the downtrodden. Nothing — save an election run by LBJ — could have been more fraudulent. Few things about the University's racial policies have been open. D ur­ ing the pretrial litigation, UT Law abused the new rules of mandatory open discovery by withholding vital docum ents H opw ood's from lawyer, Steve Smith. Only when the big firm lawyers at Vinson & Elkins took over the defense did UT Law open up. Other vaults remain closed. In M arch, I filed an open records request to exam ine the documents pertaining to race-based undergrad­ uate minority scholarships. There­ after, I received several cordial let­ ters forbidding even a peek. Initially, according to a UT adm in­ istrator, access would have been allow ed if the request was nar­ rowed. But in April, the UT System counsel issued a blanket denial. As he explained to the attorney general, "The University believes the docu­ ments requested are excepted from disclosure pursuant to the litigation exception to the Texas Public Infor­ mation Act, Section 552.103 of the Texas Governm ent Code because lit­ igation challenging the award of such scholarship s is reasonably anticipated." The AG's office agreed. Thus, one thing is clear: UT officials aren't eager to divulge their dirty little secret. Not confidential, however, were the law school's juvenile boasts of em ploying its legal Dream Team led by Harvard lib Laurence Tribe. But adding more Ivy to the roster makes no difference, if you're on the wrong side of the case. By denying certiorari, the court has not affirmed the 5th Circuit. But at least the justices stated that the 5th Circuit judges were not, as some UT law profs asserted, runaway rad­ icals reading tea leaves instead of the law. M aybe now UT Law will finally listen.

They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. VIEWPOINT ShiirkedIdiuty 1 W e owe our Suprem e Court no gratitude today. Instead of courageously deciding the nationwide issue of affirma­ tive action on universities, the court denied certiorari to The State of Texas vs. Hopwood. The nondecision leaves Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi w ithout constitutional guidance, and leaves the rest of Am erica's universities' policies hanging in the balance. In their opinion, Justices Ginsburg and Souter wrote "w hether it is constitutional for a public college or graduate school to use race or national origin as a factor in its adm issions process is an issue of great national im portance." So important, apparently, that at least six justices voted not to con­ sider it. Ginsburg and Souter emphasized that by not granting certiorari, they w eren't necessarily agreeing with the lower court's ruling — they just didn't think the University's "long since ... discontinued" admis­ sions policy warranted judgment. "W e must aw ait a final judgment on a program genuinely in con­ troversy before addressing the im portant question raised in this peti­ tion," the justices wrote. I his denial w ounds the University in at least three ways. First, campus diversity will suffer as the percentage of minorities on cam pus decreases, lowering the quality of our university education. Second, the ruling creates a national double standard. Instead of attending the University, top-notch m inority students will be lured away by constitutional, race-based scholarships the University can no longer provide. The court's decision ties the University's hands by for­ bidding it to com pete under the same rules as the rest of the country. I hird, statistics gathered "w ithout affirmative action" will be skewed, since most of America's universities will still em ploy affir­ mative action programs. As a result, there won't be an honest mea­ surement of minority achievement w ithout preference. Nevertheless, affirmative action opponents will m isuse the statistics to argue that w ithout race-based affirmative action, minorities cannot succeed at UT. Even Steven Smith, attorney for the plaintiffs, for whom the denial was a victory, expressed frustration. W e presented a case worthy of looking into. Not only the people of Iexas, but the whole nation would be better served by the court tak­ ing the case," Smith said. "It seems we did our part, and the Supreme Court decided not to do theirs." Ginsburg and Souter said they await a program genuinely in con­ troversy. On cam puses throughout the United States, affirmative action's constitutionality is heatedly debated. It will take tw o or three years for another case like Hopwood to reach the high court. We can't afford the wait — but now we'll have to. I lop wood presented our Supreme C ourt an opportunity to guide us through a difficult racial issue, much like Sw eatt v ..Painter did in 1950. This time, instead of facing the challenge, Ginsburg, Souter and at least four other justices looked the other way. OPWOOD REACTIONS "In the coming days, my office will provide our stab s universities with legal guidance in regard to the effect of this decision on adm is­ sions policies. Cultural, ethnic and racial diver­ sity in an academic or any other environm ent benefits all. Our universities should strive for siich diversity. How ever, as I have consistently indicated, it is sim ply wrong to give one appli­ cant an autom atic advantage over another appbeant, based solely upon the color of one's skin. We will never overcome past discrim ina­ tion bv practicing discrimination today." — Attorney General Dan M orales case will be up to the Texas attorney general. All University policy issues related to affirma­ tive action are subject to review and approval by the UT System Board of Regents. "Admissions for fall 1996 have been com plet­ ed, and few, if any, other decisions that may be afflicted by legal processes in this case are pending this summer. The UT System and its com ponent institutions will honor all prior commitments regarding admissions, financial aid and other matters. "The UT System remains firmly dedicated to the principle of equal educational opportunity for all the citizens of Texas." "T h e Mexican Am erican Legal Defense and E ducational Fund (M ALDEF) expresses disap­ pointment at today's U.S. Supreme C ourt deci­ sion to deny review of University of Texas Law School v. Hopwood. rhe 5th Circuit's decision in Hopwood vio­ lates the principles of prior Supreme Court cases. The court should have heard it and reversed it. What the court's decision does mean is that higher education institutions in the 5th C ircuit's jurisdiction will have to reevaluate their adm is­ sions p l a n s . It there is a history of discrim ina­ tion at the institution and the effect of such dis­ crim ination are evident, the institution can still have — and should have— affirmative action practices in adm issions." — Antonia Hernandez, Mh LDEF president and general counsel — William Cunningham, chancellor, University of Texas System Question: "A re you disappointed in the affir­ mative action ruling?" McCurry: "N ot necessarily. I think they just ruled that would not be the case to test some of the underlying legal propositions, in part — according to our best understanding at this point of the opinion — because the state had discontinued aspects of that program already. So I think that a court may have been searching for a better test case. "That appears to be part of the reasoning, but we'll be looking a lot more closely at the deci­ sion itself." — White House press secretary Mike McCurry at Monday’s daily press briefing As with all such legal m«tfers, the ultim ate decision on any further action related to this "The Suprem e Court's denial of certiorari is not a ruling on the merits ... The two justices indicated that while the issue is of 'great nation­ al im portance/ procedural reasons render this case inappropriate for review. "L D F view s the Suprem e C o u rt's action today as an indication that the broad 'rationale' o f the Fifth C ircuit decision has not been endorsed by the Suprem e Court and that Bakke remains the law of the land." — Elaine Jones, director-counsel, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund "O bviously once the judgement is in place we will obey the law. The extent of [the 5th Circuit ruling] is not very clear. "There are questions that if we are operating under one set of rules that d on't let us take race into account in the adm issions process, [then] we w ill be at a competitive disadvantage, no question. "W e will honor all scholarships already aw arded." — U T President Robert Berdahl "This case is the end of a chapter, instead of the book. " — Steven Smith, attorney for Cheryl Hopwood "It is absolutely devastating and bizarre that three of the states w ith the w orst histories on race relations are told they and they alone can­ not take race into account to achieve the goals of either diversity or desegregation." — U T System counsel Samuel issacharoff COURT OPINION SUPREM E COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Texas et al v.

U nfortunately, most people feel the basis of the Hopwood controversy is affirm a­ tive action. That's laughable. Affirmative action can't be the basis of any controversy because no one, including me, knows what affirmative action is. Some say affirmative action is a move to enrich cam pus and class­ room diversity and thereby create a better, richer educational experi­ ence for all. In that case, we should lobby for it in Congress and make rude gestures at the Fifth Circuit Court. say O thers that affirm ative action puts rich minorities with inferior qualifications ahead of poor Caucasians with a superior stats. Anyone who says that is a bigot running around in a multicultural- ist's clothing. Affirmative action has become a catch phrase that d escribes an abstract philosophy of com bating racism and prom oting m inority achievement. This abstraction manifests itself in scholarships such as the TAHA (Texas A chievem ent H onors (Texas A w ard) and Achievement Award), and in pro­ grams such as Preview and Suc­ cess. the TAA actio n 's A ffirm ative failings stem from its system atic general­ izations.

UNIVERSITY T h e D a ily T e x a n TUESDAY, JULY 2,1988 5 ‘Eastside Story’ lifts off ERIC MCKINNEY Daily Texan Staff ~ ~ “ UT assistance is helping East Austin youths learn computer and career skills. The project, known as The Eastside Story, is spon­ soring summer youth camps focusing on technology, arts, d esk to p p u b lish in g and en trep ren e u rsh ip . Camps are being held at the City of Austin's Arthur B. DeWittv Job Training Center, the UT Neighbor­ hood Longhorns Center and Blackshear Elementary School. UT President Robert Berdahk was scheduled to tour the camp locations on Monday, but was called away to deal with the recent development in the Hopwood case. "U T has been involved since the founding of the program about six months ago," said Eastside Story director Toni Williams. "President Berdahl is very interested in preparing people at an early age. He's been a very large factor in making this program work," Williams added. The Eastside Story w orks with the U niversity's sum m ertim e M usic Cam p, said R obert Sopronyi, Neighborhood Longhorns assistant director "The two projects developed separately but joined together," he said. Students work in groups with volunteer teachers who provide assistance with computers. "Right now we're getting resumes done, and after that groups of four will be working on World W ide W eb pages," said Sherief Brown, a volunteer at the DeWitty Center camp. rhe purpose of the program is to introduce chil­ dren to computers and to provide sustainable neigh­ borhoods. It's a unique and fun way of learning. It allows children to study what they are interested in," Williams said. "All of us are learning from each other," she added. Brow n said that in addition to helping children learn, he is gaining valuable skills himself. "I'm think­ ing about becoming a com puter technician," he said. Students also have the opportunity to read and w rite World W ide W eb pages. "It's harder than I thought," Brown said, adding that one of the reasons he volunteered was to learn how to w rite W W W pages. - W aldorf Academy seventh-grader Tiasha Colton said she thinks she is learning valuable skills at the camp. "I might come back next time," she said. Cam p participants also engage in chats with stu­ d en ts at the cam p's o th e r locations. In ad d itio n , Williams said 80 Internet e-mail addresses have been set up for campers. Pease Elementary sixth-grader LaTasha Rodgers said the main reason she came was to find out about the World Wide Web. "I just w'anted to see the way home pages work," she said. "If students don't know about the Internet, they're not going to leave here empty-handed," Brown said. Brown said excellent resources and increased atten­ tion received at the camp will help students be better prepared for future computer instruction. "It's really been quite encouraging. We have about as m any [camp participants] as expected and w e're getting phone calls about the camp," Sopronyi said.

LISA HAGEN/Daily Texan Staff Legislator downplays reports of regent replacement plan MASON WEST D aily Texan S taff Despite recent reports that a state legisla­ tor is considering drafting a bill that would allow the governor o f T exas to rem ove a u niversity regent before the exp iration of h is term, an assistan t to Steve O gden, R- Bryan, said Monday he has not puisued it.

O gden attended the m eeting to discuss severance packages of state em ployees, Brit­ ton said. ranking officials with promises of large sev­ erance packages if their em ploym ent is ter­ m inated, Britton said "m ost agencies that use golden parachutes are universities." T h ere have been cases, B ritto n ad d ed , when regents gladly paid a large amount of money to be rid of an official after only a few months. O gd en w as reported as say in g he w as considering a bill that would allow the gov­ e r n o r o f T e x a s to re m o v e a U n iv e r s ity regent before the expiration of his term. But Britton said, "I think it is som ething that he is interested in, but we haven't pur­ sued it at all yet." Currently, the governor of Texas appoints regents to boards of state universities, but can n o t rem ov e them u ntil th eir six -y e a r term is up. Referring to the practice of luring high- She added that Ogden said it would be a problem if there w ere "a bad regent." "W ith the way the law is right now ," Brit­ ton said, "you can't get rid of a regent until their six-year term is up. If you have bad regents there isn't a lot you can do." Ogden mentioned the idea of being able to remove regents in passing and did not mean to imply he was planning to give the governor power to fire regents, Britton said. UT Stu d en t G overnm ent P resid en t Je ff Tsai said he does not think he could support giving the governor the pow er to dism iss regents. "I couldn't agree with absolute power of a g o v e rn o r to ta k e aw ay p o w er from th e Board of Regents," Tsai said. "It sets a dan­ gerous precedent." Tsai said the Texas L eg islatu re has the power to impeach a regent and such legisla­ tive action allow s for regent accountability w ithout co n cen tratin g too much political power in the hands of the governor. "If a regent ever did anything that was not in agreem ent w ith a g ov ern o r," Tsai said, "the governor would then have a polit­ ical tool to remove a regent — or a board. I think the absence of that political weapon is more appropriate in an academic setting." "I use the example of Homer Rainey, for whom the old m usic building was named recently,” Tsai said. "R ain ey was fired by th e ch a irm a n o f th e B o a rd of R eg en ts because of his outspoken position for acade­ mic freedom . That could happen again if any one person is given too much power." Tsai said Rainey's case is an example of what happens when academ ics and politics are commingled. Although poor attendance to board meet­ ings was cited as one reason to give the gov­ ernor power to fire regents, UT System offi­ cials said this is not an issue with its regents. "A lm o st all o f our board m e etin g s are attended by 100 percent of the regents," said Arthur Dilly, executive secretary to the UT System Board o f Regents. "We've never had a situation on the UT System board w h ere people h av en 't fully discharged their responsibilities as regents and attended the m eetings," Dilly said. "I can't rem em ber a board meeting in 15 years when a board member has missed two in a row ," he added. The regents hold quarterly m eetings that rotate through system campuses, Dilly said. They also hold two to four special m eetings as dictated by the needs of the various cam ­ puses.

Several students said they feel their im pact will be felt strongly this November. "Young voters will be extrem e­ ly significant in the 19% election," said Corbin C asteel, chairm an of the College Republicans. Casteel, who is co-chairm an of Lon ghorns for Dole, added that he thought C linton's lead w as not very significant. "Students are just beginning to pay attention to the election," he said. Jennifer Parkinson, a com m uni­ cation associate for the Collegiate D em ocrats of A m erica, said co l­ lege students can have an impact in the election. "Young voters help put Clinton o v e r th e to p in 1992, and w e W I fusit? r v n r í'i i i U H * L A p C t l 4 8 ,0 0 0 UT students to vote for Dole this fall.” — Corbin Casteel, chairman of the College Republicans e> pect to do it ag ain in 1 9 9 6 ," Parkinson said.

N either D avid R ogers nor Kenneth Elliot has attended law school since the case began in 1992. T h o u g h th ey still sh a r e the sam e v iew s against affirmative action in adm issions, they differ on whether adm ittance to the law school will have been worth the trouble once the case is settled. Rogers said he will reapply to the UT School of Law. "I w ould like [for the University] to have a level playing field and I w ould like to compete for a d m issio n on that level p la y in g field ," Rogers said. Rogers, w ho is currently m anaging a Relax the Back store in A rlington, said he is pre­ pared to continue his studies. R ogers received a b ach elor's d egree from the University of H ouston in 1990. He gradu­ ated with a m aster's d e g re e in professional w ritin g fro m the U n iv e r sity o f S o u th e rn California in 1992, the sam e year the reverse discrimination suit w as first filed.

"I don't think you can d o better as a lawyer in Texas than go to UT," Rogers added. But Kenneth Elliot, another plaintiff in the case, said he is not sure adm ission to Texas has been worth the trouble. E llio t, w h o is w o rk in g fo r the T e x a s Departm ent of Insurance as a financial analyst, said he has m ad e no p lan s to p u rsu e a law degree. "I don't krtow at this point," he said, adding he probably w ould not have reapplied to the UT law school regardless of the outcome of the case. "I haven't thought that far ahead." Elliot m oved from Colum bus, a "tiny town" in southeast Texas, to Austin in 1980 when he entered the University as a freshman. He grad u ated from the University in 1984 with a bachelor7s degree in accounting, and applied to the law school in 1992. Elliot said he cam e from a white, m iddle- class family. "I grew up with lots of minority peop le who h av e the sam e backgrou nd as I do," he said. "They're given a boost because of the color o f th eir skin. I d o n 't think th at's right." Though their plans for the future changed during the litigation, their stance against affir­ mative action did not. "Just because the color of the skin of the per­ sons being discriminated against has changed doesn't make it right," Rogers said. "Dr. King talked about one day living in a country where people are judged by the content of their char­ acter, not the color of their skin. The University clearly is not interested in that." "I w as one o f two w hite kids there at the time," he said. "1 lived literally on the wrong side of the tracks." Rogers said he still believes the UT School of Law to be the best in Texas, though he d isap ­ proved of their "im m oral" adm issions policy.

The State of Texas. 1 SPORTS Griffey tops All-Star choice T h e D a i l y T e x a n # TUESDAY, JULY 2,1986 m m Associated Press NEW YORK — For the second straight year, Ken Griffey Jr. was voted to start in the All-Star game. And for the second straight year, a hand injury will deny fans a chance to see him play. The Seattle M ariners' center fielder was the top vote getter in the final fan balloting announced Monday for the July 9 All-Star game in Philadelphia. Sidelined with a broken right hand, Grif­ fey received 3,064,814 votes — more than 500,000 more than the next closest player, Baltimore shortstop Cal Ripken. But after injuring himself while fouling off a pitch June 19, G riffey underw ent surgery and is expected to miss at least a month. He had to sit out last year's All-Star game in Texas after fracturing his left wrist making a spectacular catch. "I'm really disappointed," Griffey said before Monday night'6 game with Oakland. "L ast year I didn't play. Now I'm going through it again." Griffey disputes a report contending he asked permission to play a half inning as a way of thanking fans. "Y o u 're watching too much T V ," he said. "B ecause you're on the [Disabled List], you can 't play in thé A ll-Star game. If you looked at the rule book they give you every year, you might know that." With Griffey out, it's up to American League manager Mike Hargrove of Cleve­ land to choose another starter. The likely pick is the fourth-place finisher, Baltimore's Brady Anderson, who leads the majors with 28 homers. " I just hope I make it," Anderson said after Baltim ore's 7-4 win at Toronto on Monday. "It would have been nice to be voted in, but I can't actually say 1 expected it. If I make the team and they choose to start me, that would be g reat." Mike Piazza finished third to Griffey and first among NL players in the voting. Piazza, leading the league in hitting, w as named on 2,272,115 ballots. The Los Angeles Dodgers catcher will be making his fourth All-Star appearance, and third as a starter. M ajor league baseball announced that more than 10 million ballots w ere cast, an increase of 73 percent over last year's total.

The Astros beat Florida 6-2 Monday night after Hampton accepted a pregame dare from right field­ er Derek Bell to wear his pants legs rolled up to his knees as Bell does. "T h at was just something to change things up, to loosen me u p ," Hampton said. "I'm a little supersti­ tious, but I'm not as bad as Craig Biggio or Shane Reynolds, it's just in some situations I like to have my superstitions. It worked once. I'm going to see if I can run it out there twice and get away with it." Hampton (6-4) outdueled National League ERA leader Kevin Brown, striking out seven with one walk, while retiring 12 of the last 14 batters. Ham p­ ton gave up a two-run homer to Gary Sheffield in the fourth before settling down for his second com ­ plete game of the season. "I'm not a pow er pitcher," the 23-year-old said. " I have to mix things up to be successful. Tonight I used my four seam er a lot, my two seam er a few iimes and the fastball and cutter now and then just to keep them honest." The last time Houston had three straight complete games was April 25-27 1986, when Nolan Ryan, Mike Scott and Bob Knepper posted consecutive complete-gam e victories against Cincinnati. "I haven't seen every game Mike Hampton has pitched in his career, but it was the best I've seen him pitch since he's been with us," Houston m an­ ager Terry Collins said. "H e got a couple of pitches up, but otherw ise he w as outstanding."

The H ouston Rockets w ere expected to finalize a three-team deal at that time that would send Robert Horry and Sam Cassell to Denver, M utombo to the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix' Charles Barkle . and Joe Kleine to Houston. The catch in the deal was that Phoenix had to agree on a contract w ith M utom bo. With D etroit for apparently M utom bo's services, the once- apparently finished trade is left in limbo until after July 9. the running in uations. We are at die end of our contracts. We might not want to be there and that would be a bad deri­ sion for them." Sb far, Horry says he has had no Dream Team III ensures victory, belittle upcoming opponents Associated Press CHICAGO — The best basketball team in the world assembled on the court for the first time Monday, and scoffed at the competition. " If I told you we w eren't guarantee­ ing a gold medal, I'd be lying to you ," Karl M alone said after the U.S Olympic men's basketball team had its first practice. "T h at's the onlv reason we're here. "G o to anybody in this room, and they're going to say we'll win the gold medal. Anything else and 1 don't think we'll be welcome in our own coun­ try." So much for humility, but nothing else would be expected from a team that's an absolute lock to win the gold medal game on Aug. 3. An upset would be front-page news around the globe, and no one on the U.S. team is even thinking that such a career-defining calamity could be pos­ sible. "O bviously I think w e're going to win the gold medal, if I said we guar­ antee it — that's irrelevant," Charles Barkley said. " I f you want to write guarantee, go ahead. J u s t because you’re rich and famous like we all are d oesn ’t mean we don’t have great pride in our country.” Charles Barkley, Dream Turn M member — "It's the Olympics, man, and just because you're rich and famous like we all are doesn't mean we don't have great pride in our country. We want to prove that w e're the best basketball- playing country' in the w orld." Did any team strike him as worthy competition, Barkley was asked. "T h e w om en's national team, that's about it," he said. Inevitably, the only comparison of greatness that will be made for Dream Team III will be against the 1992 O lym pic team that won the gold medal in Barcelona. Barkley and Malone are two of five returning members of the 1992 team They are joined by David Robinson, John Stockton and Scottie Pippen. Shaquille O 'N eal, Reggie M iller, Gary Payton, A nfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill and Hakeem Olajuwon are first-time Olympians, and Mitch Rich­ mond returns from the 1988 team of collegians that won a bronze medal. O lym pic rules w ere changed to allow professionals in 1992, and the original Dream Team won everv game in Barcelona by an average of 43.8 points w hile scoring an O lym pic record of 117 points per game. Back then, Malone said the opposi­ tion could take their beatings quietly or suffer the consequences. On Monday, he reiterated it. "W e 're not going to discriminate against anybody," he said. " If we have a chance to beat a team by 40 or 50, I promise you we'll try to do that "W e'v e already talked about it, and Please see Dream, page 8 Dream Team Hi member Charles Barkley tussles with Connor Smith after a practice in Chicago.

From the rejection and relentlessly cruel teas­ ing by classm ates to the unbearable feelings of dejection from an unrequited first crush and the aw k w ard n ess o f fled glin g s e x u a l i ty , Todd Solondz's striking film, winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 1 9 9 6 Sundance Film F estiv al, is painfully accurate and remarkably original in its portrait of ad olescen t angst. Truly a gem in the rough, Solondz demonstrates how very real those now long forgotten (and thankfully so) feelings of heartbreak an d longing to be accepted really are. Fumbling th ro u g h her m iserable, miserable life, Dawn W iener, not so affectionately dubbed "W ienerdog" b y h er fellow stu d e n ts, gets no breaks at all. Homely, b ad ly dressed, four-eyed, and help­ lessly unpopular — Dawn is a favorite target for vicious torments (like being called a "lesbo" and being forced to defecate in front of a female bully). Her sole frien d is a mousy n eigh b or who is labeled a " f a g g o t ." Her h om e life is m ade unbearable by h e r geeky brother, w ho is singu­ larly obsessed w ith what might look good on his applications to college, and her perfect, ballerina wannabe little sister who hogs all the attention. Dawn b ecom es spellbound by the new lead m COM E TO THE DOLLHOUSE Starring: Heather Matarazzo Director: Todd Solondz Playing at: Village Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ (out of five) sin g e r (and in d isp u tab le school stu d ) of her brother's ridiculously awful band. She is bewil­ dered when one of tne bad boy bullies at school promises to rape her. She reacts curiously, with love and willing affection. Dollhouse is filled with a nervous energy so intense, it reaches your seat. From the start of the film— as Dawn enters a noisy cafeteria, carryin g her tray, desperately looking for a seat and someone who will tolerate her company (you can sense her near panic)— we find ourselves somehow connected to the world of this ugly, unwanted little girl. M ost of the film is funny in a scary W onder Y ears sort of way — but instead of clich es or phony resolutions, the film allows fairly unique insight to junior high anguish. S o lo n d z treats h is y o u n g c h a ra c te rs w ith unflinching honesty. The humorous, heartbreak­ ing result is strikingly real, marked by an aston­ ishing, fabulously courageous performance by its star, Heather Matarazzo. It is only because of her that this film works at all. SOUND BITES D a w n ’s in d u strio u s brother is one of the many plagues on her pubescent life. bit for cosmic justice by yelling for This Summer instead of Goodbye Girl. — Alex Wettreich ÍT'S A MAN'S WORLD Artist: Cher Label: Reprise Rating: ★ (out of five)________ A few weeks ago Cher appeared at a benefit at her old New York City hangout, Studio 54. It was her first visit to New York in some time, and probably her first in 15 years to the club that was once the w o rld 's m o st fam ou s d isco . When she took the stage the crowd went wild. But times have changed and so has Cher. No more Greg Allman, no m ore spoons hanging around her neck, no m ore dancing on roller- skates. At Studio 54, she spent five min­ utes on stage, lip-synching her new single, One by One and then headed for the exit. I t ’s a M a n ’s W orld, C her's nine­ teenth album, seems lip-synched as well. The ^ongs on It's a M an's W orld offer all the emotional appeal of the hair care products (Aquasentials by C h e r) she h aw k s on tele v isio n . W hen you think about it, what is the difference to her whether you b u y her CD o r o rd e r a p iece of "gothic" furniture from her catalog, Sanctuary? A s for the m u sic itself, it is ro u n d ly u n in sp irin g. Even C h er doesn't seem v ery interested. But w hat re a lly p lag u es I t ’s a M an's W orld is its lack of eith er coherence or direction. This is lagely due to the fact that the 11 tracks are put together by no fewer than seven different produc­ ers. No wonder every song sounds as if it's from a different album. Most of the M an ’s World produc­ ers, it appears, thought that dub­ bing Cher's voice over a pile of stu­ dio m usicians w ould be enough. Karaoke? Cner-aoke. Listening to the album becomes a gu essin g-gam e to d eterm in e just whose sound each producer is try­ ing to im itate. T h e re 's an A n ita Baker cut, a Brand N ew H eavies cut, and so on. But C her d oesn 't adapt too well to contemporary R & B. W ith h er th ro a ty vo w els, she sounds more like Elvis in his later years or even Eddie Vedder, than Annie Lennox. Only Trevor Horn, whose work includes the A rt o f N oise and Yes' late-'80s com eback albums, seems to have the slightest idea what to do with her. The tw o tra c k s he p ro d u ce s. W alking in M em phis and The G un ­ m an stan d o u t from the p ack b ecau se H orn d o e s n 't to "u pdate" Cher's image, but rather lays her voice over an old-fashioned Phil Spector-like Wall-of-sound. try But these moments of success are rare. It appears that Cher has ceased to be a m u sician or even a m ere celebrity. She is a corporation. And on the whole, I think I'd prefer a nice "accent piece" from her catalog to her latest album. — Patrick Walsh R M C U L 0U 8 Artist: Squeeze Label: I R S.

A nd while E lectric Trains and G rouch O f The Day are eq u ally in fe ctio u s and b o u n cy, much of the album is turned over to more sober considerations.

MAIDMAN_______ Daily Texan Staff A n d rew B e rg m a n w ro te and directed this stupid movie. Now some of you will remember that A ndrew Bergm an used to be funny. S u re, T he F resh m a n , w ith Matthew Broderick, Marlon Brando and the regrettably underemployed Penelope Anne Miller, was pretty slim on laughs. But Bergman wrote Fletch and The In-Laws, both of which were pretty hilarious for what they were, partic­ ularly the latter. Anyhow, Bergman seems to think th a t D em i M o o re 's ton ed ch est m uscles can support not only her breasts, but a two-hour motion pic­ ture. Wrong-o. The problem is, Bergman used to play a situation for laughs. Now, he thinks the situation itself is funny. C ase in p o in t: In T he In -L a w s, Bergman pokes fun at middle-aged men obsessed w ith you ng naked women. How? The psychotic dicta­ tor of a small South American coun­ try unveils the new national flag: a black velvet portrait of him with his arm around a young naked woman. Alan Arkin: "And is this Mrs. Gen­ eral?" Dictator: "N o, it's a prostitute from the beach." Now thai's creative. And in Striptease, Bergman pokes fun at m iddle-aged men obsessed with young naked w om en. How? Burt Reynolds, slightly cross-eyed with a silly Southern accent. That's not creative. That's not funny. C ase in p oin t n u m b er tw o : In Fletch, Bergman pokes fun at politi­ cal-typ e gath erin gs in ballroom s. Chevy Chase, on the run from the cops, stu m bles into som e so rt of Shriner convention, takes the stand, slu rs e v e ry b o d y p re se n t w h o se name he can figure out, convinces the Shriners to hug the cops who are after him, and then bursts into the national anthem before ducking o u t the b ack . T h a t's also p re tty damn funny. In S t r ip t e a s e , B erg m an again pokes fun at political-type gather­ ings in ballroom s. H ow ? T hey're young Christians. Wocka wocka. Aside from the abominable lack of wnterly discipline just described, Striptease suffers from several prob­ lems. First, even with a funny script, tins cast w o u id n i m ake a funny film.

Sophia Loren is sexy because sh e m o v es w ith a s s u ra n c e an d grace, has killer curves and a drop- dead sm ile. Isabella R osselini is sexy because of the affection and wit that sparkle in her dark eyes. H ell, M elanie G riffith is kind of sexy because she seems to have fun bouncing around in a bra. Demi Moore is not sexy because she looks desperate. She has that w h o le M ad o n n a "y o u h ave to adm ire m e" thing going, but she doesn't seem to be com fortable in her personal-trainered tanning-bed­ ded body. She m oves not like she lo v es h e r b o d y , but like sh e 's trapped in it. She provokes m ore sympathy than arousal. F in ally , the g r e a t tra g e d y of Striptease (or semi-great tragedy) is that the book it's based on is intelli­ g e n t, fa s t-p a c e d , c r e a tiv e an d funny. C arl H ia a se n 's b listerin g satire of life in south Florida, with its venomous attack on big sugar, its haywire thriller plot, its panoply of eccentric crooks and freaks and its strong, intelligent, sarcastic hero­ ine, is everything the m ovie isn't.
