Search for new
provost
to begin

CARLA BASS___________________
Daily Texan Staff

UT faculty will elect search committee 
m em bers n ext w eek in hopes that the 
University w ill find a new provost and 
executive vice president before Sept. 1, 
1997.

P rov ost M ark Y u d of w ill leave the 
University to assume his new position as 
president of the University of Minnesota 
July 1. He accepted the position Dec. 13, fol­
lowing that university's extensive search 
for a new president that ended with three 
days of interviews and meetings with can­
didates.

After learning Yudof would accept the 
Minnesota position, UT President Robert 
Berdahl sought faculty nom inations for 
search committee members through e-mail. 
He indicated that the search will take place 
both outside and within the UT System.

"This will be a very strenuous national 
search, and we're looking for the absolute 
best can d id ate we can ," B erd ah l said 
Thursday.

The person occupying the position of 
provost and executive vice president is the 
sen ior ad m in istrator at the U n iversity 
under Berdahl, overseeing academic, stu­
dent and faculty matters.

Yudof will leave his current position, 
after four years of service, to become presi­
dent of the University of Minnesota's four 
campuses: Twin Cities, Duluth, Crookston 
and Morris, and to become chancellor of the 
Twin Cities campus, home to the Minnesota 
system's top research facilities.

Yudof said he

"I don't have a

one I'm pushing," 
Y u dof said. 
"I
think we have 
good people within the University, but that 
we will and should do a national search."

The selection of the new provost will be 
based more on the caliber of the person 
than whether the candidate comes from 
inside or outside the University, Yudof 
added.

Yudof became the only finalist for the 
U n iversity of M inn esota's p resid en tial 
search after the two other short-list candi­
dates pulled their names from considera­
tion for the post.

Judith Ramaley, president of Portland 
State University in Oregon, withdrew from 
the list Dec. 7, citing differing expectations 
concerning the president's role and the 
University of Minnesota's future. William 
Muse, president of Auburn University in 
Alabama, withdrew after Auburn's govern­
ing board offered him a new contract.

Freshman ethnic ratios resemble ‘95

MIKE CRISSEY_________________
Daily Texan Staff

UT administrators found no surprises 
when the Office of Institutional Studies 
released fall semester enrollment figures ear­
lier this month.

The figures indicate that first-time fresh­
man ethnic ratios are comparable to those of 
fall 1995. Black, white and Asian-American 
student populations saw a slight decrease, 
while the Native American, Hispanic and 
foreign student freshman populations 
increased slightly.

The University changed its admissions 
and application policies last year after the 
Hopwood vs. Texas case, in which a deci­
sion by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals 
prohibited public colleges in Texas, 
Louisiana and Mississippi horn using race 
as a determinant for college admission or 
state-funded scholarships. The court ruling 
was heralded by some as the first step

 Students may be discouraged by the application 

process rather than excluded by the post-Hopwood changes.”
— Marsha Moss, 
director of the Office of Institutional Stotdes

toward a color-blind educational system 
and criticized by others as a fatal blow to 
equal education.

But UT officials said they do not think last 
semester's enrollment figures accurately 
reflect the decision's effect on enrollment.

Monty Jones, UT news and public infor­
mation director, said when the Hopwood 
decision was handed down last July, most 
applications to the University had already 
been processed.

Bruce Walker, UT admissions director, 
said the majority of applications are

processed by February.

Marsha Moss, director of the Office of 
Institutional Studies, said because the 
University is not at full capacity, the admis­
sions policy is not demand-based according 
to ethnicity.

"The only way we can really manage 
growth at this institution is [by] admitting 
new graduate students, new freshman and 
transfer students," Moss said. "We then look 
at the number of students who continue 
from one level to the next and try to keep 
those ratios constant."

Moss said the University now uses a two- 
part admissions application to comply with 
the Hopwood decision. "The new applica­
tions have a front tear sheet that has the eth­
nic and other information on it," Moss said. 
"The tear sheet is pulled off and the infor­
mation is entered into databases before the 
admissions counselors get it."

In addition to the tear sheet, the applica­
tion form has been lengthened with three 
new essays and segments asking students to 
detail their work experience, scholastic hon­
ors and other qualifications.

"With Hopwood, and with the applica­
tion changes, we don't know how relation­
ships will change," Moss said. "Students 
may be discouraged by the application 
process rather than excluded by post- 
Hopwood changes."

Walker said UT administrators do not 
expect to feel the full effect of the Hopwood 
decision until next fall.

Texas 

state Sen. G onzalo 
Barrientos, D-Austin, will intro­
duce a bill this month which would 
require state universities to pro­
vide tuition waivers to graduate 
students teaching classes.

N ick Evans, a m em ber of the 
Graduate Student Assembly, said 
the bill is directed toward graduate 
stu dents em ployed as teaching

assistants and assistant instructors 
while working on their disserta­

State Rep. G lenn M axey, D-

the House in 1993 and again in 
1995, said Hugh Strange, press sec­

Both years the bill failed to 
obtain a full vote in the House. 
Stran ge said he has hopes the

Bombs injure 13 in Israel

Associated Press

TEL AVIV, Israel — Two bombs 
concealed in trash cans exploded 
within minutes of each other in a 
slum area of south Tel Aviv 
Thursday evening, injuring at least 
13 people.

Prim e M in ister 

Benjam in 
Netanyahu said the bombs were 
alm ost certain ly planted by 
Palestinian guerrillas. “ It is clear to 
us now, almost beyond any doubt 
that this was a terrorist attack," he 
said.

Isra el had been exp ectin g an 
attack by radical Palestinians hop­
ing to scuttle efforts to complete an 
Israeli-Palestinian agreem ent on 
troop pullout in the West Bank, or 
avenge an attack last week by a 
Jew ish settler on Palestinians in 
Hebron.

The explosives, believed to be 
pipe bombs packed with nails for 
greater destruction, went off just

b efore 8:30 p.m. in the Neve 
Shaanan pedestrian walkway near 
an abandoned bus station which is 
a center of the city's large foreign 
worker community.

Police detained an Arab suspect­
ed of having planted the bombs, 
Israel army radio reported.

The blasts occurred about a mile 
from the Defense Ministry where 
Netanyahu was meeting with U.S. 
envoy Dennis Ross in an effort to 
bridge the remaining gaps blocking 
an agreement with the Palestinians.

“ h esitated 

Y itzh ak D aroush, 46, said he

“ we heard the second explosion 
nearby just outside a nuts shop," he 
said.

Several environmental and citi­
zen groups joined the members of 
Teamsters Thursday in revealing 
some safety hazards of Mexican 
trucks driving through the border 
states.

A crowd of 40 rallied in front of 
the Governor's Mansion Thursday 
morning, protesting Texas Gov. 
George W. Bush's attempt to per­
suade President Bill Clinton into 
reopening the southern U.S. border 
to Mexican trucks.

The governors of California, 
Arizona and New Mexico joined 
Bush in drafting a letter to Clinton 
to persuade him to reopen the bor­
der as one of the terms for the 
N orth A m erican Free Trade 
Agreement.

Clinton has delayed opening the 
border since Dec. 18, 1995, citing 
safety issues concerning poorly 
maintained Mexican truel». Trucks 
coining from M exico are now 
fequired to unload their contents

Members of the Teamsters said if 
Mexican trucks were allowed to 
pass through the state they would 
pose safety and environmental haz­
ards to the roadways.

They cited instances where over­
weight trucks with bakl tires and 
cracked suspensions were issued 
citations or turned back by the 
Testes Department of Public Safety

border into Texas.

"We're putting Texas motorists 
at risk," said Alfred Garcia, inter­
national driving representative of 
the Teamsters.

But Gov. Bush's office said the 
DPS is equipped to prevent unsafe 
trucks from entering the United 
States should Clinton reopen the 
border.

"T exas is fully prepared to 
enforce our safety and weight 
law s," said Ray Sullivan, a 
spokesm an for Bush. "There is 
enough manpower to get the job 
done."

At the tim e the tw o candidates 
w ithdrew from the list, Minnesota 
state Gov. Arne C arlson said the 
U n iv ersity of M in n eso ta sh o u ld 
stop die search process due to the 
lack of competition, but he changed 
his mind after meeting with Yudof 
Dec. 12.

"I have a feeling he m ade some 
phone calls to Texas, and he read 
som e of my articles and books," 
Y udof said . "We h av e even h ad 
some phone conversations after the 
interview."

V irg in ia G ray, h e a d o f th e 
Faculty Consultative Committee at 
the University of M innesota, said 
the school's faculty w as satisfied 
w ith the selectio n p ro c ess even 
th o u g h th ere w as only one final 
candidate.

"A lot was m ade of that at that 
time, but that actually happens quite 
frequently both here and at other 
places," Gray said.

"The faculty felt from the begin­
ning that he looked on paper like the 
best candidate, so it didn't bother us 
too much that he was going to be the 
only one left," she said.

Y udof w as on the sh o rt list to 
become president at the universities 
of Illinois and Iowa in recent years, 
but he withdrew his name on both 
occasions.

D uring his last sem ester a t the 
University, Yudof said he would like 
to put die post-tenuie review issue to 
rest by implementing the resolution

passed by the UT System Board of 
Regents.

Y udof may ev en tu ally face the 
sam e issue at th e U niversity of 
Minnesota, where tenure has caused 
recent turmoil, but he said he does 
not plan to take up the issue soon.

"Too m any peo p le have been 
bloodied in this," Yudof said. "Right 
now, I'm looking forward to a peace­
maker role."

Another goal of Yudof s is to finish 
his work on Compact 2000, a budget 
program that ties funding to long­
term goals and emphasizes account­
ability.

H e also w ants to continue to 
increase the percentage of undergrad­
uate courses taught by tenured or 
tenure-track professors, Yudof said.

Yudof said he will probably travel 
to Minnesota each month to become 
better acquainted with his new job.

He joined the U niversity as an 
assistant professor of law in 1971 and 
worked as associate dean for academ­
ic affairs at the UT School of Law 
from 1979-1984. He became dean of 
th e law school in 1984, and w as 
appointed executive vice president 
and provost of the University in 1994.
As provost Yudof s notable actions 
have included working cm an admis­
sions policy to lim it enrollm ent, 
increasing the number of computers 
in faculty offices on cam pus, and 
tackling the tenure review issue.

TOKYO — A big brow n cock­

eyes it nervously, but he doesn't go 
fo r the b u g s p ra y . He g rab s th e

This is no o rd in a ry u n d er-th e- 
refrigerator-type bug. This roach 
has been surgically implanted with 
a m icro -ro b o tic b ac k p ack th a t 
allo w s re searc h ers to control its 
movements.

This is Robo-roach.
"Insects can do many things that 
p e o p le c a n 't," sa id A ssista n t 
Professor Isao Shimoyama, head of 
th e b io -ro b o t re s e a rc h team at 
Tokyo U niversity. "T h e potential 
a p p lic a tio n s of th is w o rk for 
mankind could be immense.”

W ithin a few years, Shimoyama 
says, e le c tro n ic a lly c o n tro lle d 
insects carryin g m ini-cam eras or 
other sensory devices could be used 
for a variety of sensitive missions — 
like craw ling through earthquake 
rubble to search for victims, or slip­

in central Japan.

Money from the five-year grant 
started coming in this m onth, and 
young researchers are lining up for 
a slot on Shimoyama's team.

The team breeds its own supply 
of several hundred cockroaches in 
plastic bins. Not just any roach will 
do. R esearchers u se o n ly the 
Am erican cockroach because it is 
bigger and hardier than most other 
species.

From th a t su p p ly , th e y select 
roaches to equip with hi-tech "back­
packs" — tiny microprocessor and 
electrode sets.

Before surgery, researchers gas 
th e roach w ith c a rb o n d io x id e. 
Wings and antennae are removed. 
W here the an te n n a e u sed to be, 
researchers fit pulse-em itting elec­
trodes.

With a remote, researchers send 
sig n als to the backpacks, w hich 
stimulate the electrodes. The puls­
ing electrodes m ake the roach to 
turn left, turn right, scam per for­
ward or spring backward.

O ver 

the past 

three years, 
researchers have reduced the weight of 
die backpacks to one-tenth of an ounce, 
or about twice the weight of the roach­
es themselves.

"Cockroaches are very strong," 
said Sw iss re se a rc h e r R aphael 
H o lzer, p a r t of

times their own weight."

South Texas hospital after they unloaded 
canisters deceptively marked as empty from 
an unmarked truck entering from Mexico.

The woike. > Julio Zepeda and Guillermo 
Sanchez, sensed the smell of rotten eggs and 
informed their supervisor. One canister was 
found to be leaking some type of gas, and 
the tw o m en w ere o rd e red to reload the 
truck.

Soon afterwards, Zepeda w ent into con­
vulsions and lost consciousness as Sanchez 
became weak and vomited. The gas in the 
canisters was determ ined to be hydrogen 
sulfide, a deadly compound. Both men were 
later treated and released from the hospital.

"If the border restrictions are lifted, these 
trucks will be allowed to operate through­

o ut Texas, in o u r neighborhoods, in our 
work sites, on all our highways," said John 
Riojas, international vice president of the 
Teamsters.

"What this means is that w hat happened 
to Julio and Guillermo could easily nappen 
to any of our family members any time and 
any place."

"NAFTA is a ticking time bomb," Riojas 

said.

However, Sullivan said the current ban 
on trucks from Mexico robs the Texas econ­
omy of its expected growth from increased 
trade with Mexico.

He said safety w ould not be com pro­
m ised, b u t job s an d ec o n o m ic g ro w th 
would flourish.

"Our law is clear and has not been — ind 
w ill n o t b e— im p acted by NAFTA," 
Sullivan said.

But Riojas said only one out of every 200 
vehicles are inspected at the border by the 
DPS.

He said Mexican trucking companies take 
a d v a n ta g e of the in fre q u e n c y of these 
checks by loading one in every four trucks 
w ith hazardous material.

"Many are accidents waiting to happen," 
Riojas said. "They can send unsafe trucks 
into the U.S. knowing that they will not be 
caught."

But Laureen Chemow, DPS public infor­
m ation officer, said the DPS can maintain 
efficient inspection of these trucks by stop­

ping only suspicious trucks.

"We d o n 't look at the en tire M exican 
trucking operation," C hernow said. "We 
look for vehicles that appear to have a prob­
lem."

How ever, Riojas said other unforeseen 
problems cannot be detected by DPS border 
inspections.

Riojas said an underpaid and underexpe­
rienced driver from Mexico can be a prob­
lem in himself.

He said some Mexican drivers are forced 
to drive as much as 50 hours with no sleep 
or lose their jobs.

Others, he added, may be driving vehicles 
carrying hazardous material without a dri­
vers license.

Such instances, Riojas said, contribute to 

making the roads unsafe.

"That's our workplace," Riojas said. "We 
w a n t to do w h a t w e can to p ro te c t o u r 
workplace."

in Sacramento, Calif. Thursday.

W atkins said the biggest com ­
p lain t g ra d u ate stu d e n ts have is 
the tuition payment.

"G raduate students are paying 
for classes they d o n 't take, this is 
the biggest source of opposition," 
Watkins said.

Ray W atkins, a doctoral candi­
date in English, said the bill will 
im prove graduate education and 
bring the University of Texas up to 
national standards.

" It's a really good system , we 
ju st d o n 't feel like we are being 
fairly compensated," he said.

Strange said although state uni­
versities would have to pay gradu­
ate students' tuition, they would be 
saving money in the long run.

"If people are being forced out 
because of the tu itio n paym ents,

the universities will lose money," 
he said.

Evans said he hopes the benefits 
will be expanded to all graduate 
students.

ly this will be a good first step,"

MIAMI — Christmas came late to 
one of the city's poorest neighbor­
hoods, and Santa drove a Brinks 
truck.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars 
in coins, bills a n d foo d stam p s 
rained down on a trash-lined street 
in Overtown on W ednesday when 
an armored truck overturned on an 
elevated highway.

Shortly afterw ard, hu n d red s of 
people swarmed over the area, dig­
g in g m oney o u t of th e d irt an d 
scooping it off the street.

They stuffed bags, boxes, pockets, 
g ra b b in g an e stim a te d $400,000 
before police took control.

"Santa Claus came to the ghetto," 
said one youth who was not identi­
fied by television crews at the scene.
"T here w as ch ange, change 
everywhere. The streets were like 
silver," said a man who showed up

later with a flashlight.

In the dash for cash, some women 
took off their shirts and filled them 
w ith money, w alking off in their 
bras, witnesses said.

"T hey d eserv e it. These h a r d ­
w orking people, they d o n 't make 
enough m oney," bystander James 
Toni Said. "God sent a truck." There 
were no arrests as of this morning.

Some people, however, did turn 

in some change, police said.

"We did have a few people that 
came back and said, 'Here, I found 
th ese over th e re ,'" said O fficer 
Cruz, who w ouldn't give his first 
name.

But they were far outnum bered 
by those who pounced and pocket­
ed the loot.

People looking for proceeds from 
the mayhem ransacked at least two 
homes.

"We've had at least two incidents 
where people are claiming their doors 
have been kicked in and houses ran­
sacked because people think there's 
money in their houses," said police 
spokesman Delrish Moss.

to find other explosives in the area.

The speaker of the P alestinian

the peace process," army radio said.
Despite the Arab-Israeli tensions 
that N etanyahu's tougher policies 
have created, there have been no 
terrorist bombings in Israel's cities 
since a wave of attacks last spring, 
which killed 63 people.

Plane crashes, all 29 passengers killed

so we didn't want to get real close."

Comair said 26 passengers and three 
crew members were aboard. Sheriff Tilman 
Crutchfield said there were no survivors.

The pilot of Flight 3272, which originated 
in Cincinnati, gave no indication of any trou­
ble as the plane prepared to land at Detroit 
Metropolitan Airport, the Federal Aviation 
Administration said.

The NTSB sent a team to investigate the 

cause of the accident.

Fire and rescue vehicles converged on the 
charred w reckage of the 30-seat plane, 
which went down near a farmhouse and a 
country road. As darkness fell, rescue work­
ers walked through the field with flash­
lights, looking for wreckage and bodies.

At the Detroit airport, friends and rela­
tives of the passengers were taken to a spot 
where counselors were available.

Thursday's accident was the second fatal 
crash in the commuter airline's 20-year histo­
ry. A twin-engine Piper Navajo crashed at an 
airport in Kentucky in 1979 after an engine 
failed on takeoff. Eight people were killed.

The Embraer 120 is a Brazilian-built turbo­
prop. More than 300 of the planes are in use, 
most in North America, where they are pop­
ular with regional and commuter airlines.

There have been three fatal U.S. crashes 

involving the Embraer 120 since 1991.

Comair obtained the plane in 1992, and it 
had its last major maintenance check on 
N ov. 20, said Charles Curran, Comair

Comair serves Florida and the Midwest, 
offering connections to Delta Air Lines flights 
as part of a group of small carriers that collec­
tively are known as the Delta Connection. 
Delta owns about 20 percent of Comair.

In 1991, an Embraer 120 operated by 
Atlantic Southeast Airlines went down in 
Georgia after a worn part failed in a pro­
peller control system on the left engine. All 
23 people aboard were killed, including for­
mer Sen. John Tower.

Later that year, another Embraer 120, a 
Continental Express flight, nose-dived into 
a field near Houston, killing all 14 aboard. 
Regulators blamed the crash on m issing 
screws in the tail's horizontal stabilizer bar.

In 1995, a propeller blade broke off the left 
engine on a Southeast Airlines flight, forcing 
the plane down in a hay field in Georgia. Ten 
people were killed. Investigators blamed a 
manufacturer for failing to discover the pro­
peller crack that led to the crash.

MONROE, Mich. — A com m uter plane 
trying to land in a snowstorm nose dived 
into a held 18 miles short of the Detroit air­
port Thursday, killing all 29 people aboard.

The twin-engine Embraer 120, operated 
by C incinnati-based Comair, w ent dow n 
just before dusk in a huge fireball, splinter­
ing into small pieces and leaving a black 
patch in the snow, which was about 4 inch­
es deep by evening.

"It looked like a bomb went off destroying 
everything in its path," said Dale Zorn, chair­
man of the local Board of Commissioners.

Cathy Conner, 14, said she was getting 
off the school bus when she saw the plane 
go "straight into the ground."

" It was just like a blur, it w as going so 
fast. Then I saw the explosion and flames 
just went everywhere," she said.

Floodwaters 
wreck havoc 
on livestock

Associated Press

ARBOGA, Calif. — F loodw aters have 
given way to fields of death. H undreds of 
drowned cows, horses and other farm ani­
mals — their bloated carcasses tangled in 
b a rb e d w ire or m ired in d itc h e s — lie 
s tre w n ac ro ss th e soggy la n d s c a p e of 
Northern California.

"It w as like an orchard of H olsteins," 
said Michele Luis, who joined workers at 
Martin Poldervaart's dairy farm Thursday 
to clear the last of 200 dead cattle from 
acres of pasture.

W a te r from a ru p tu re d lev ee on the 
Feather River flooded the farm, w hich is 
100 miles northeast of San Francisco, last 
week.

T he P o ld e rv a a rts h av e 

lo st ab o u t 
$300,000 in livestock. Some cattle w ere 
ensnared in ditches or fences. One cow, 
snagged on a small gate, had to be burned 
free with torches. The stench of the rotting 
animals was everywhere.

"The sheriff's departm ent just w ouldn't 
let us in," said Mrs. Luis' husband, David. 
"So 200 h ead died a slow death . It was 
gruesome."

In addition to the livestock, many bams 
and tractors were soaked beyond repair. 
Overall dam age across the region was at 
almost $1.6 billion, with many counties yet 
to report. Levees crumbled in the Stockton 
area, 60 m iles east of San Francisco, as 
releases from o v erb u rd en e d dam s kept 
water levels high on the San Joaquin River.

Even though thousands of acres of prime 
farmland were under water, experts say the 
flooding happened too early to harm much 
of the 1997 harvest.

Crops such as alm onds and fruit trees 
are dorm ant and leafless this time of year 
and thus safe unless there is another string 
of storms later.

Electoriai votes 
officially counted
■ WASHINGTON — There was no 
drum roll and no one was holding his 
breath Thursday as Congress opened 
the envelopes, counted the votes and 
m ade it official: Bill Clinton w as re­
elected president.

In fact, several law m akers in tro ­
duced a bill to abolish the Electoral 
College.

Vice President A1 Gore, in his role as 
president of the Senate, declared Clin­
ton and Gore the winners of the Nov.
5 election after members of the House 
and Senate, carrying out their consti­
tutional duties, tallied the Electoral 
College votes.

Clinton, who carried 31 states and 
the District of Columbia, got 379 elec­
toral votes. Republican nom inee Bob 
Dole captured 19 states and 159 elec­
toral votes while third-party candidate 
Ross Perot won no states and no elec­
toral votes.

Warner, R-Va., and Wendell Ford, D-

ed joint session and, saying that the 
certificates were "regular in form and 
au thentic," announced the w inning 
ticket from each state.

Gore, flan ked by H ouse S peaker

stated that it was "a sufficient declara­

Prop 209 advocate plans national campaign

Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — There is no sign outside the 
modest building that is home to Ward Connerly's consulting
business.

The marker came down on the advice of police after stu­
dents started showing up to protest C onnerly's efforts to 
eliminate affirmative action at the University of California.

A tram pled lawn was not the opposition's only calling 
card. As his role in abolishing race- and gender-based prefer­
ences grew — first at the university, then statewide through 
his chairm anship of the cam paign for Proposition 209 — 
Connerly, who is black, was reviled as an Uncle Tom, a sell­
out to his race.

Messages left on his answering machine warned, "Tell him 

to watch his back" and "We know where you live."

" I d o n 't th in k they d o ," th e 5 7-y ear-o ld C o n n erly 
rem arked dryly in a recent interview, "b u t nonetheless it
makes one's eyes kind of pop open."

Two months after Proposition 209 passed with nearly 55 

percent of the vote, all was calm at Connerly & Associates.

But inside, Connerly was getting ready to plunge back into 
the controversy with the launch later this month of a national 
organization to help repeal race- and gender-based prefer­
ences in other states, too.

From here on, he said, the battle is "getting the American 
people to decide whether they want to pursue the melting 
pot still, whether they still want a colorblind society."

What makes this self-made businessman with no immedi­
ate political ambitions ready to step back into the line of fire?
"I guess it's the realization that we're talking about a fun­

damental change in culture here," he said.

Connerly ally Clint Bolick of the Washington-based Insti­

tute for Justice offered this explanation:

"T he opposition m ade the m istake of m artyring W ard 
Connerly during this campaign, and that has had the unin­
tended consequence of catapulting him to national leader­
ship. Fortunately, he has the intestinal fortitude to carry the 
battle forward."

Connerly was bom to mixed-race parents in the South in 
1939. His parents divorced when he was 2, and his mother 
died two years later. But he brushes aside any sympathy, 
pointing out the guidance he got from the grandmother who 
raised him in Sacram ento and an uncle w ho was also a 
strong influence.

In the late 1960s, C onnerly 
m et then-A ssem blym an Pete 
W ilson, b eginning a lifelong 
friendship. In 1993, Gov. Pete 
Wilson named Connerly to the 
University of California Board 
of Regents.

In the m eantim e, C onnerly 
had built up a successful land- 
use p lan n in g and consulting 
business with his wife.

Connerly's work in repealing 
racial preferences began in 1994 
when he suggested the univer­
sity system stop giving minority 
students preference.

WARD CONNERLY

A furious debate ensued as UC officials insisted their 
setup was the only way to compensate for a public education 
system that shortchanged inner-city schools.

Connerly won, in part because of the backing of Wilson, 

who is president of the regents.

The new policies were adopted at a 12-hour meeting in 
1995 that was marked by two student takeovers, one bomb 
threat and an impassioned appeal by the Rev. Jesse Jackson 
against the repeal of affirmative action in hiring, contracting 
and admissions.

Later that year, Connerly took over the flagging campaign 
to pass Proposition 209, a ballot measure prohibiting the use 
of race and gender in public hiring, contracting and educa­
tion. It won on Nov. 5 but was tied up within a day by legal 
challenges.

Last year, Connerly was sued by a former employee who 
alleged Connerly discrim inated against her and sexually 
harassed another woman. Connerly called the suit a lie and 
"just outright dirty."

The woman's lawyer denied the suit was politically moti­
vated, saying it began long before Connerly's involvement in 
Proposition 209.

Critics say Connerly ignores the realities of racism. They 
maintain that affirmative action, for all its clumsiness, is still 
needed to nudge an unfair system toward equality.

Ralph Carmona, a former UC regent who voted to keep 
affirmative action, called Connerly "a man of real decency" 
but said he makes the mistake of holding others to his own 
high standards.

After high school, Connerly spent two years at American 
River Community College. His grades were good enough for 
a four year school, but he did not have a car.

C onnerly denied he is trying to repeal all affirm ative 
action, saying he is willing to consider economics as a factor 
in college admissions.

Two years of saving gave Connerly enough money to buy 
a '48 Chevy — his ticket to what was then Sacramento State 
College. There he majored in political science and was elect­
ed student body president.

"I agree with that notion that maybe I'm tougher and am 
able to pull myself up by my own bootstraps and maybe oth­
ers aren't as tough," he said.

"But it isn't color that creates that distinction."

911 call placed 
3 days before 
Ramsey murder

Associated Press 

~

~

BOULDER, Colo. — A 911 call was made from 
JonBenet Ramsey's home three days before the 6- 
year-old was found strangled, but the call ended 
before the dispatcher could talk to the person on 
the line, police records show.
. Within minutes, police tried to call back and 
then sent an officer to the home to check out the 
call. The officer left minutes later and did not file 
a report, according to the police records examined 
by The Associated Press.

No complaint was filed as a result of the call, 
and it was unclear if it was related to the slaying 
of the child beauty queen, whose body was found 
Dec. 26 in the basement of her home.

Police would not comment on the call. At a tele­
vised community forum Thursday night Police Chief 
Tom Koby refused to discuss any details of the case.

"Our allegiance is solely to JonBenet Ramsey. 
We have a mission. We have dedicated ourselves 
to bringing to justice the person or persons 
responsible for her death. Everything else is sec­
ondary'," he said.

The police records showed the emergency call 
was placed at 6:48 p.m. an Dec. 23. And when police 
tried to call back six minutes later, the response was 
a voice-mail message. About five minutes after that, 
thepolice officer was sent to the home.

The coroner said that the former Little Miss Col­

orado was strangled.

"It doesn't have to be the fam ily, per se," 
Robert Ressler, former head of the FBI's behav­
ioral research division, said on ABC's Good Morn­

Waive TA tuition to save UT funds

Teaching and research assistants 
may soon become an endangered 
species at the University — and all 
of us could pay dearly.

Extinction looms because the Uni­
versity is unable to waive graduate 
student teaching assistants' tuition. 
Thus, the University will eventually 
lose its competitive edge when it 
comes to recruiting high-quality 
graduate students. They'll simply 
attend a more affordable university.
So what? Won't school will go on 

as always?

Maybe not. The University's 4,500 
teaching assistants, research assis­
tants and assistant instructors are 
vital. They teach our classes, grade 
our papers and motivate us to learn. 
They free up professors' schedules, 
allowing them to spend more quali­
ty time helping students. Assistants 
do the research that earns the Uni­
versity prestige.

In December, the Graduate Stu­
dent Assembly Committee on 
Tuition Relief compiled a proposal 
detailing graduate students' contri­
for 
butions. The proposal calls 
tuition waivers. While University 
President Robert Berdahl backs the 
proposal in theory, he believes the

recruiting high-quality grad­

able university.

University can't afford it.

The proposal will be expensive. It 
will require about $5 million annual­
ly. Yet this is only 0.5 percent of the 
1996-97 University budget and is a 
small price to pay for the betterment 
of this institution.

For two years the number of grad­
uate students who have refused 
admission has grown. While few

argue the absence of a tuition waiv­
er is the sole cause of the decline, it 
is a significant factor.

If the graduate student popula­
tion continues to dwindle, the Uni­
versity will require full-salaried pro­
fessors or adjuncts to teach fresh­
men and sophomore classes and 
employ other professionals to con­
duct research.

This will eventually prove more 
costly than paying graduate student 
tuition. The University will lose

It is also shortsighted to disregard 
the demoralizing effect money prob­
lems have on graduate students. 
Anyone preoccupied with making 
ends meet will do a lousy job teach­
ing.

As matters stand, graduate stu­
dents must tolerate tremendous

stress. Nobody spoon feeds them in 
class. They have to conduct research 
and deliver original thought. They 
have to write theses and disserta­
tions and defend them against bru­
tal questioning. The constant battle 
often keeps them from sleeping. But 
without tuition waivers, many must 
take outside jobs. In time, dissatis­
fied graduate students will transfer 
to a university with tuition wavers.

Fortunately, some legislators have 
tried to convince them to stay. In 
1995, the Higher Education Com­
mittee recommended that House 
Bill 628 calling for a tuition waver be 
passed. But the legislative session 
ended before the entire House could 
act. Rep. Glen Maxey, D-Austin, will 
sponsor a similar bill in the upcom­
ing January session.

Passage is not guaranteed. Some 
legislators are opposed since many 
UT graduate students leave Texas 
after graduation. But tuition waivers 
benefit all students indirectly. We 
must tell our legislators we won't 
stand for a second-rate graduate 
program, second-rate teachers or a 
second-rate school.

VIEWPOINT

A novellitdea

As part of its nationwide expansion on college campuses, Barnes & 
Noble has gutted the University Co-Op and is building a superstore in 
its place. Students should enjoy the convenience, the comfort and the 
discounts the chain bookstore will offer.

But at what price?
Despite what critics say, Barnes & Noble is not merely a juggernaut 
pummeling through the campus nearest you. The store has much to 
offer students. Prices will drop; the selection will be vast; the atmos­
phere will be pleasing. This takeover also allows the University Co-Op 
to focus on textbook sales, handing over the troublesome trade book 
reins to Barnes & Noble.

Since the takeover was announced in July, Barnes & Noble has 
pledged to gear selection toward a university market. Although many 
bookstores shy away from carrying academic material, which consti­
tutes only 2 percent of sales, Barnes & Noble stores boast an entire dis­
play area. This means one can find not only the latest John Grisham 
novel, but the latest medical journals as well.

In the past, major chains refused to carry books that did not appeal 
to large markets. Therefore, it fell on the shoulders of smaller, inde­
pendent bookstores to offer material that was academic, obscure or 
controversial, such as Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses. Fed by this 
small vein, independent bookstores stayed alive.

But with Barnes & Noble gearing their book selection towards a uni­
versity market, independent bookstoresf face a double threat: a chain 
with the economy and convenience they can't have plus all the books 
they do. Many fear opening the store's floodgates in June will 
inevitably drown local bookstores. In New York City, the opening of a 
Barnes &Noble superstore led to the closing of Shakespeare & Co., one 
of the city's oldest and most famous independent bookstores.

So how can stores in Austin survive? Independent bookstores 
would be wise to redirect or more sharply focus their area of expertise. 
Stores that specialize in one area, stock out-of-print books or hold fre­
quent book signings have a better chance of survival than stores that 
don't.

Also at issue is the integrity of the bookstore's pledge to carry acad­
emic books. These are costly books that remain on the shelves, and 
with millions of dollars invested in stores nationwide and stockhold­
ers on Wall Street wringing their hands, Barnes & Noble is jonesing to 
generate a profit. Their goal is economic — but the goals of literature 
are intellectual and emotional. Before long, those goals may conflict.

Therefore, Austin needs independent bookstores. Because they do 
not make such phenomenal financial investments, smaller bookstores 
can afford to stock more controversial, eclectic work.

Often the most unmarketable books of today become the classics of 
tomorrow. Without independent bookstores' backing, authors such as 
Toni Morrison, Allen Ginsberg and Tom Robbins would remain 
unknown.

But independent bookstores must survive for another reason. They 
are unique to the city and the marketplace. It is simply more thrilling 
to shop in a store that has its own heartbeat, rather than a store that is 
merely an appendage.

Barnes & Noble will be convenient, affordable and comfortable. It 
will also be predictable — it will resemble each of its commercial 
brothers and sisters. It will be labyrinthine, with cryptic maps posted 
on towering columns. Customers will recline in fluffy armchairs read­
ing books they probably won't buy. The store will feature an expen­
sive coffee selection and a tasteful dining area. It will be an asset to the 
University and its students. But lest we forget: so are independent 
bookstores.

FIRING LINE

didn't Royal recruit the first black 
football players at the University? 
Just because he didn't do it first in 
the state doesn’t make him racist.

I believe Royal's system worked 
better than any other in the country 
at that time. Look at the Longhorn's 
tremendous success under him. 
Coach Royal was hired to produce 
winning football teams — that's just 
what he did. Mr. Cobb and

Royal without a valid argument.

SG Absences

I have great respect for Student 
Government President Jeff Tsai and 
Vice President Brian Feld. I wish 
them continued success.

Now, I’d like to present three rea­

sons that explain SG absences.

First, Tsai and Feld have stated 
on numerous occasions that the 
general assembly meetings this 
year would not be of great impor­
tance. Rather, the focus has shifted 
to the various committee meetings. 
Such change has been evident this 
semester in the limited debate and 
agendas of the general assembly.

Second, The majority of the 
absentees were graduate represen­
tatives. These individuals represent 
a small, narrowly focused interest 
group on campus. Agendas, dis­
tributed prior to meetings, can be 
monitored for items of interest to 
their peers.

Finally, rules are rules. If a major­
ity of the assembly votes that 
mandatory attendance be institut­

ed, so be it. Until then, The Daily 
Texan editor needs to root else­
where for her news.

Henley’s last column
Even when he's trying to be nice, 
Geoff Henley can't get his facts 
straight! Regarding UT Law, Hen­
ley writes: "when the nation's fac­
ulty, judges, and lawyers rate the 
school's teaching reputation, the 
school places near the top 10" 
(12/9/96).

I assume Mr. Henley is referring 
to the U.S. News surveys of faculty, 
judges and lawyers, but these are 
not surveys of teaching reputation!
The average U.S. News academic 
reputation survey of faculty for the 
period 1992-1996 ranked UT Law in 
the top 10 nationwide. Because of 
arbitrary fluctuations in any given 
year, the average is more informa­
tive than any particular year. The 
U.S. News surveys of lawyers and 
judges always put UT Law in the 
top 15 nationally.

The Princeton Review has also con­
ducted annual surveys of law stu­
dents nationwide to find out how 
satisfied they are with the quality of 
teaching at their schools. For three 
years in a row, UT Law has ranked 
in the top 10 in the country, even 
ranking first one year. In 1994, 
when The Princeton Review and The 
National Jurist magazine conducted 
a nationwide survey of overall stu­
dent satisfaction with their legal 
education, UT Law ranked fourth

in the nation.

All other recent surveys of schol­
arly distinction put UT Law square­
ly in the top 10, or better. The 1995 
Chicago-Kent Law Review survey 
of faculty scholarship ranked UT 
Law fifth in the nation. A recently 
published study in the 1996 Chica­
go-Kent Law Review ranked UT 
Law first in the country for produc­
ing scholarship cited by the courts.

Only the U.S. Nezvs overall rank- 
ing of law schools, published each 
March, sticks it to UT Law by not 
ranking us in the top 10. But U.S. 
News sticks it to all the leading state 
schools, because of the biased crite­
ria it employs.

So, yes, Mr. Henley, you are enti­
tled to that "snotty, warm glow, 
knowing your school doesn't suck" 
— even more entitled than you 
appear to recognize.

Drawing the line

I am well aware of the problems 
this university has had with racism. 
We are by no means a discrimina­
tion-free institution. But you have 
to draw the line somewhere. I was 
upset after reading Scott Cobb and 
Daniel Rodriguez's guest column 
because they tried to slam possibly 
the best coach ever to head the

Texas Longhorns. How can they 
call Royal racist when his black 
players didn't sense it?

Coach Royal had an excellent 
system of picking players and 
coaches. He wanted a family envi­
ronment. That unity is what sepa­
rates good teams from great ones. 
How could Royal achieve that sta­
tus if his players hated each other 
and didn't respect their coaches? 
Instead of trying to "break the race 
barrier," Royal felt once people 
accepted the idea of blacks playing 
on the gridiron with whites, it 
would then be time to recruit them. 
Patience is a big part of a coaches 
job. Royal waited until the time was 
right. Correct me if I'm wrong, but

Barranco biased

In his editorial, "Hawaii judg­
ment strong first step" David Bar­
ranco clearly reveals his bias on the 
issue of same-sex marriage. Mr. 
Barranco correctly quotes Article 
IV, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitu­
tion. He neglects, however, the sec­
ond sentence: "And the Congress 
may by general Laws prescribe the 
Manner of which such Acts, 
Records, and Proceedings shall be 
proved, and the Effect thereof."

In the Defense of Marriage Act, 
Congress said for the purposes of 
federal law, marriage is defined as 
the union of one man and one 
woman, and that states did not 
have to recognize gay marriages if 
they did not want to. In effect, they 
said three judges in Hawaii should 
not legislate for the rest of the Unit­
ed States. Seventy percent of 
Hawaiians agree with the U.S. Con­
gress. They don't want judges legis­
to 
lating 
address this in their legislative ses­
sion or their upcoming constitu­
tional convention.

they plan

Though Mr. Barranco dismisses 
it, vocal homosexual activists are 
attacking the foundations of our 
society. They are not content with 
being tolerated, as today they most 
certainly are. They want to refash­
ion society in their image. In The 
Brothers Karamazov, Dostoyevsky 
wrote, "W ithout God, all things are 
possible." We in the United States 
are in the process of learning how 
much that "all" really includes.

It does not have to be this way, 
however. God has already made 
the first move. In sending his Son to

Muslim students observe Ramadan

ANUSHRI KUMAR
Daily Texan Staff

Abstaining from food, drink and all 
things sinful from daybreak to sunset 
may seem demanding to some, but for 
many Muslim students, it is a way of 
life for one month out of every year.

All the req u irem en ts are p a rt of 
Ramadan, one of the holiest m onths 
in the Islamic religion, which begins 
this week for Muslims in Austin and 
around the world.

Each day d urin g Ram adan opens 
with a m orning prayer, called a sajr, 
an d en d s w ith an o th er p ray er, the 
Isha. M uslim s are req u ired to fast 
d u rin g d ay lig h t h o urs each d ay of 
Ramadan — a requirem ent that con­
stitutes one of the five pillars of Islam.
A b o u t 1,000 M u slim s tu d e n ts 
attend the U niversity, and m any of 
them are ready to commemorate the 
religious m onth. Many students said 
the monthlong fasting is difficult and 
takes some getting used to.

“Through fasting, we become more

in control of ourselves," said M ona 
Razzaque, an architecture senior. "It's 
hard, and takes a lot of will pow er. 
People d o n 't realize it's R am adan. 
W hen people are eating in front of 
me, it becomes very tempting."

A sim G hafoor, a th ird -y e a r law 
student, said Ram adan is an opportu­
nity "to im prove your overall spiritu­
al and physical self" and to strength­
en one's spirituality through prayer.

U nder the Islamic lunar calender, 
dates for the m onthlong observance 
of R a m a d a n a re d e te rm in e d each 
year by the birth of the new moon. 
The holy m onth starts the day after 
the first sighting of the new moon.

A t the conclusion of Ram adan, a 
celebration called Eid is held. Eid is a 
day of feasting and socializing that 
marks the end of the holiday.

Ram adan is also a time for m any 
M u slim s to b e tte r th e m selv es for 
hu m an ity as w ell as for th eir god, 
A llah. It is also a tim e to p ra c tic e 
Islam ic re lig io u s tra d itio n s m o re 
earnestly, w ithout distractions.

Zeyn Patel, president of the UT Mus­
lim Students Association, said fasting 
for Ramadan demands discipline and 
sacrifice, and makes die person fasting 
think more about those who are less 
fortunate than themselves.

Patel, a governm ent senior, said 
the a sso c ia tio n w ill celebrate 
Ramadan by holding two events cele­
brating Istar, which is the breaking of 
the fast at sunset each day during 
Ramadan. The events will be held on 
Jan. 19 and Jan. 26.

The MSA will also sponsor a special 
dinner for Eid. The dinner is open to all 
Muslim students observing Ramadan 
and will be held in the College of Busi­
ness Administration atrium.

Carla Villyard, residence life coor­
dinator for the Division of Housing 
and Food Service, said Muslim stu­
dents livin g in cam pus residence 
halls can also take advantage of the 
residence halls' late-plate options and 
snack bars, which allow students to 
eat dormitory meals outside normal 
cafeteria hours.

Cheerleaders to compete at nationals

CLAYTON WRZESINSKI
Daily Texan Staff

While most students were sheltering 
themselves from the w intry w eather 
conditions Wednesday night, the Texas 
cheerleaders dazzled an audience of 
about 200 at the Recreation Center with 
acrobatic routines they have prepared 
for an upcoming national competition 
in Florida.

The squad held a 7:00 p.m. perfor­
m a n c e w h ic h s e rv e d a s a d re s s 
rehearsal of the routines they will be 
taking to the Universal Cheerleading 
A sso c ia tio n C o lle g ia te C h a m p i­
onships in Orlando Saturday.

Crissy Garcia, a public relations 
senior and second-year squad m em ­
ber, said the cheerleaders are excited 
about the team 's chances of winning 
this competition.

“We're a lot better this year," Gar­
cia said. “The degree of difficulty in

our routine has really increased."

The squad gained entrance into this 
year's com petition by becom ing the 
W est C oast R egion's top qualifier. 
Texas defeated squads from schools in 
12 other states to win the top spot.

T exas h a s fin is h e d w ell in the 
a n n u a l c o m p e titio n th e p a s t tw o 
years, receiving second place in 1995 
and sixth place in 1996.

This year m arks the first tim e the 
squad will compete under new head 
coach Pat Wedge. W edge said Texas 
has adopted a “West Coast" style of 
p e rfo rm in g , w ith ea c h m o v e m e n t 
flowing together. Team captain Paul 
Leeman said Texas' routine is more 
than just a cheer.

"W hat w e're doing requires a lot of 
precise tim ing and a lot of physical 
strength," Leeman said. "W e're out 
to shatter the stereotype of so-called 
'rah-rah' cheerleaders."

Wedge, w ho has coached champi-

onship squads at other universities, 
said th e Texas sq u ad is one of the 
finest he has seen.

"The first thing I noticed was what a 
tight-knit group they are," Wedge said. 
“I'm really excited, the team is doing 
well and they know the whole routine 
w e ll... now it7s just up to how well we 
pull everything off in Orlando."

Texas will be competing against 15- 
20 of the nation's top-ranked squads 
in c lu d in g the n a tio n a l ch a m p io n s 
from the University of Kentucky.

K entu cky h as w on th e n a tio n a l 

title two years in a row.

However, Leeman said he believes 
Texas has a strong chance of dethron­
ing the Kentucky squad this year.

“As long as we execute w ell and 
don't let our adrenalin get the best of us,
I think we have a real shot," Leeman 
said. “I've seen this squad do a perfect 
routine, and it's quite a sight to see."

STATE & LOCAL
Council rejects request for Pease Park construction

PICK THIS: 2-5-6 
LOTTO: 10-20-23-25-»

LEE SIMMONS____________________
Daily Texan Staff

A UT professor's request to have a drive­
way built through Pease Park to his home 
was denied by the City Council Thursday in 
a 5-2 vote.

The land in question is a vegetative buffer 
zone between Pease Park and Phillip Bob­
bitt's home, located at 1505 Windsor Road.

Councilmember Beverly Griffith said the 
land was given to the city by Elisha Pease, 
Texas' first governor, for use as public park 
land in perpetuity. Had Bobbitt's request 
been granted, Griffith said, many residents 
living around local parks could have had dri­
veway access built through park property.

"This sets an im portant precedent for 

future requests like this," Griffith said.

Bobbitt, a professor of law, said increased

traffic flow over the past two years in front of 
his home has made the site of several collisions.

"T h e access on W indsor has gotten 
increasingly perilous," Bobbitt said. "My 
late father was hit on several occasions."

Bobbitt's driveway lies directly between the 
intersection of Windsor Road and 15th Street 
and a blind curve in Windsor Road. The risk 
of driving in or out of the driveway, he said, is 
that a vehicle cannot be seen coming around 
the blind curve. Cars turning from 15th Street 
onto Windsor Road also frequently travel 
over the speed limit, Bobbitt said.

The peak times of 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 
4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. increase the risk of an 
accident in front of his driveway, he said, 
and a new driveway would increase the safe­
ty of drivers traveling to and from his house.
Peggy Sackett, Bobbitt7s neighbor and a sur­
vivor of a car accident at 15th Street and Wind­

sor Road, said Bobbitt's driveway and the 
intersection have been hazardous for years.

"I never use it," Sackett said. "I'm scared 

to death of it."

Griffith said research by the Department of 
Public Works and Transportation indicated 
that four accidents Occurred between January 
1993 and the end of December. None of the 
accidents were found to have caused injuries.

"There have been many accidents, no mat­
ter what the traffic reports say," Bobbitt said.

Griffith said park land has been protected 
from individual homeowner use by the city 
throughout Austin history. The driveway 
proposed by Bobbitt would have destroyed 
the vegetated buffer between the park and 
adjacent properties, she said.

In addition, Griffith said, the Austin Law 
Department concluded that the council's 
authority to allow the driveway depends on

whether the use is necessary. In this case, 
she said, the driveway was inappropriate.

"Under certain circumstances a request
would be granted," Griffith said. "This is 
not one."

B o b b itt's resolu tion to the Parks and 
Recreation Board was passed Oct. 21 by a 6- 
0 vote. Board member Phil Friday said Bob­
bitt's request seemed valid.

"With respect to the precedent, this was a 
truly unique situ atio n ," Friday said. "I 
absolutely support Councilmember Griffith's 
concern about establishing a precedent. If I 
thought it did, I would be on her side."

Mayor Pro-Tem Gus Garcia said Bobbitt's 
request did not meet the test of an ordi­
nance that allows park land to be used for 
private use if no other alternative presents 
itself. In Bobbitt's case, Garcia said, rather 
than risk gettin g h it at 15th Street and

W indsor Road, he could drive around 
Windsor Road through residential areas to 
travel to and from his home.

fair and intelligent public servants when Commis­
sioner Ashworth leaves his office for the last time. 
He’ll be sorely missed and hard to replace.”

—

 Leonard Rauch, chairman of the

Commissioner of Higher Education 
Kenneth Ashworth announced his 
retirement Thursday after almost 21 
years of service.

"After more than 20 years in this posi­
tion, the time is right for me to leave," 
Ashworth said in a prepared statement. 
"I have many more books to read, more 
music to play, more words to write and 
more places to see with my wife than 
this job permits."

Ashworth became commissioner in 
1976 after serving a three-year term as 
executive vice president of UT-San 
Antonio. His retirement will become 
effective Aug. 31.

Members of the Higher Education 
Coordinating Board have yet to name a 
successor to Ashworth.

Ashworth praised the board, noting 

it has "never been stronger."

Several board members commended 

the commissioner in return.

'Texas will lose one of its most dedi­
cated, fair and intelligent public servants 
when Commissioner Ashworth leaves

his office for the last time," said Leonard 
Rauch, chairman of the board, in a pre­
pared statement. "He'll be sorely missed 
and hard to replace."

Ashworth served as the UT System 
vice chancellor for academic programs 
from 1969 to 1973. Prior to that position, 
he was the assistant commissioner for 
federal programs and facilities planning 
at the Higher Education Coordinating 
Board from 1966 to 1969.

He has also worked for the U.S. 
O ffice of Education, U.S. Treasury 
Department and the Urban Renewal 
Administration. He is author of numer­
ous articles and three books.

Betty James, assistant commissioner

of access and equity, said Ashworth is a 
fair and optimistic person.

"He is very well liked by all," James 

said. "I'm going to miss him."

Jam es said A shw orth's greatest 
accomplishment is his longevity in what 
she considers to be an intense position.

James McWhorter, assistant commis­
sioner of administrations, agreed, not­
ing that Ashworth often considered the 
needs of both taxpayers and higher 
education when asking the Legislature 
for funding.

"He was a master at finding the mid­
dle ground," McWhorter said. "He is 
the greatest guy I have ever worked 
for."

Texas to face K-State in shootout
Horns hope to rebound from KU loss, 
feeling benefits from tough schedule

0

MIKE FINGER
Daily Texan Staff

Many people believe that the 
only way to measure the ability of a 
young team is by pitting it against 
some of the best competition possi­
ble. But after the past month, not 
many squads can say they have 
been thrown any deeper into the 
fire than the Texas basketball team.
And although the No. 22 Runnin' 
Horns suffered four tough losses 
over the holidays, coach Tom Pen­
ders and his players feel like they 
have emerged without any critical 
bums.

"Considering the schedule we've 
had, I think that we're very fortu­
nate to be 7-4," Penders said of his 
early-season slate, which has been 
ranked by the Sagarin computer 
system as the toughest 
in the 
nation. "Outside of maybe three or 
four teams, I don't think anybody 
in the country would have a better 
record than that."

Since Dec. 9, Texas has faced four 
Top 25 opponents (Arizona, Fresno 
State, Utah and Kansas), as well as 
a team that could be ranked by next 
week (Providence). And although 
the Horns managed only one victo­
ry against those squads, they have 
been able to perform well enough 
to keep them near the top of 
national power rankings.

An 86-61 loss at the hands of the 
top-ranked Jayhawks on Monday 
was probably the most emotional 
defeat the team has taken, as Texas 
led that contest well into the sec­
ond half. The Horns will attempt to 
bounce back from that disappoint­
ment on Sunday, as new Big 12 foe 
Kansas State (7-4, 0-1) will visit the 
Erwin Center for a 3:30 tipoff.

and 

preparing 

"We felt like we could have beat­
en Kansas, but we're still in the 
everybody 
middle of getting 
together 
the 
younger fellas," said senior guard 
Reggie Freeman, who leads the 
team with 24 points per game thus 
far. "This is a young team, but 
we're improving and we'll be all 
right."

The Homs, who now sport a 1-1

TEXAS MEN'S BASKETBALL

Big 12 record, hope to start clicking 
as soon as possible, as the confer­
ence schedule is now shifting into 
high gear. The team feels like its 
recent play still provides plenty of 
signs of encouragement, despite 
the fact that the win column hasn't 
always shown it.

"If we could have stayed out of 
foul trouble, the Kansas game 
could have gone down to the 
wire," Penders said. "A lot of posi­
tives have come about in the last 
couple of weeks, and we feel like 
we nave the ability and the poten­
tial to compete with anybody."

Although Texas isn't short on 
confidence, the team will not be 
looking past the Wildcats this 
weekend. Kansas State came with­
in three points of knocking off 
Kansas last week, and coach Tom 
Asbury's high-powered squad is 
expected to be a force to be reck­
oned with in the new conference.

14.2 

points, 

The Wildcats are led by junior 
swingman Mark Young, who is 
averaging 
6.2 
rebounds, and 2.9 assists per con­
test. Young is part of a formidable 
frontcourt that should make Texas 
quickly forget about recent disap­
pointments.

"My attitude is that we have con­
tinue to work hard and put past 
games out of focus," Penders said. 
"We don't have any time to sit 
around and feel .sorry for our­
selves."

Means to face Martin in AFC title game

Former Charger at 
home with Jaguars

Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Dumped 
by the San Diego Chargers a year 
after taking them to the Super Bowl,
Natrone Means never dreamed he 
would be going to the AFC Champi­
onship game this soon with the Jack­
sonville Jaguars.

Even more surprising 

is that 
Means has been largely responsible 
for getting them there.

The former Pro Bowl running 
back couldn't even beat out James 
Stewart in training camp. Then tom 
thumb ligaments kept him from 
playing the first two games.

"I had to be patient and wait on 
my chance to come," Means said.
"And when it did come, I was able to 
make the most of my opportunities."

Was he ever.
It began with meaningful runs late 
in games — six yards here, eight 
yards there — when the Jaguars 
were trying to run out the clock.
They started going to him earlier, 
and he produced his first 100-yard 
game 
Atlanta.

Associated Press

FOXBORO, Mass. — Curtis Martin looks 
up from his seat in front of his locker, 
always attentive even when his wide eyes 
drift away from the questioner.

He's not being rude; he never is. He 
seems, instead, embarrassed to be talking 
about himself. And he has plenty to talk 
about now.

Like 166 yards and three touchdowns in 
his playoff debut last Sunday and a goal 
worth far more to him than those numbers 
— an NFL championship in just his second 
season.

"To play in a Super Bowl would be fabu­
lous," he says. "It's something that I never 
actually even thought of because it had

never seemed possible."

It would be probable if he has another 
performance this Sunday against Jack­
sonville like he did in the 28-3 win over 
Pittsburgh that put the New England Patri­
ots in the AFC championship game.

And another run like the 78-yard touch­
down against the Steelers that ended all 
doubt that Martin, the AFC's leading rush­
er and NFL's offensive rookie of the year 
last season, had slipped.

"That's pretty much vintage Curtis Mar­

tin," fullback Keith Byars said.

Martin's rushing totals had dropped 
from 1,487 yards last season to 1,152. His 
100-yard games fell from nine to two as the 
Patriots focused on an improved passing 
game with Drew Bledsoe throwing to new­
comers Terry Glenn and Shawn Jefferson.

"People got spoiled by him last year, 
doing something every week," right tackle

in the playoff-clinching victory over 

He improved his rushing output in each game 
of Jacksonville's six-game season-ending win­
ning streak and rushed for a career-high 175 
yards in a 30-27 playoff victory over Buffalo. He 
then added 140 yards and a touchdown last week 
in the win over Denver.

"Once we get him past that first level, he 
brings a lot of fear to a defensive back or a line­
backer," left guard Ben Coleman said. "How are 
you going to attack him?"

With the 245-pound Means running the way he 
did two years ago, the question becomes, "How 
do you stop the Jaguars?"

Jacksonville has not had a problem throwing 
the ball behind Mark Brunell, whose 4,367 yards 
led the NFL. Means finally gives the Jaguars the 
balance they have been looking for all season.

"He makes you much more aware of the run­
ning game and their attack," New England coach 
Bill Parcells said. "I think that makes you play 
honestly, and it's obvious it makes them much 
more effective."

Means has shown more than just the power 
running that made him so attractive to coach 
Tom Coughlin when the Chargers waived him in 
late March, attributing it to the salary cap and

CANTON, Ohio — Don Shula, who has

One of Shula's players during his years 
with the Miami Dolphins, center Dwight 
Stephenson, is among the players up for 
induction.

Also on the list are defensive ends Carl

New Orleans Jan. 25, the 
day before the Super

\

For the third straight year, no running 
backs made the field of finalists and for the 
second time in three years there were no 
quarterbacks.

Stephenson and Haynes qualified because 
they finished among the final six in the 1996 
voting.

The only person to make the list in his first 
year of eligibility was Shula. Mack is in his 
14th year of eligibility, while Krause and 
Eller have both been eligible for 13 years.

Shula coached the Baltimore Colts from 
1963-69 and the Dolphins from 1970-95, 
posting a record of 347-173-6. He guided the

Dolphins to Super Bowl titles in 1972 and 
1973 and lost in four other Super Bowls.

Nine of the nominees spent their careers 

with only one team.

Stephenson was All-Pro five straight years 
while with the Dolphins, from 1980- 87 . 
Youngblood (Los Angeles Rams, 1971-84) 
played in a franchise-record 201 games and 
missed only one game in 14 years. Guy 
(Oakland-Los Angeles Raiders, 1973-86) led 
the NFL in punting three times and had only 
three of his 1,049 attempts blocked.

Stars shooting for the top

Associated Pm m

DALLAS — A year ago Thursday, 
Ken Hitchcock arrived in Dallas for 
his first day as an NHL coach. That 
was the good news. The bad news 
was that the team he inherited was 
in last place and seem ingly stuck 
there.

Now Dallas leads the Central 
Division and is second in the West­
ern Conference. And, next week, 
Hitchcock will be at the NHL All- 
Star Game coaching his conference's 
best players, including three of his 
own.

Hitchcock credits Dallas' turn­
around to a newfound confidence 
the players have in them selves and 
in his system, which is vastly differ­
ent from that of his predecessor, Bob 
Gainey, who remains the team's gen­
eral manager.

'We decided as a group that we 
would stop talking about commit­
ment and we would make a commit­
ment" said Hitchcock, who spent 
much of the offseason getting to

ing to their homes.

"We poured everything into this 
season early on because w e didn't 
want last season to happen a g a in 
Then we found out that by pouring 
it in, we had success. Then it started 
to be fun and we wanted more. 
That's where we're at now."

Dallas, which opened the year 6-0, 
is 24-15-3 going into Friday night's 
game at home against Phoenix. 
Entering Thursday night action, the 
Stars' 51 points were four more than 
second-place Detroit and five behind 
conference-leading Colorado.

That7 s quite an improvement from 
last year's 26-42-14 mark, which 
sunk the Stars to 11th among the 13 
Western Conference teams and out 
of the playoffs for die first time in 
three seasons in Dallas.

"Right now, I think everybody 
says, 'Yeah, they're good. You've got 
to be ready for them.' But I don't 
think people are in fear of us yet. We 
still have to be taken more seriously 
against the good teams," Hitchcock 
said.

Stars bolstered their 13-6-1 record 
away from Reunion Arena with a 
seven-game unbeaten streak from 
Nov. 20-Dec. 21.

Another highlight has been the 
play of goaltender A ndy Moog, 
who was coming off the only two 
losing seasons of a 17-year NHL 
career.

Moog, who turns 37 next month, 
has rebounded to become an All-Star 
for the fourth time and his 2.15 
goals-against average is a career 
best. He recently moved to sixth on 
the NHL's career victory list and is 
13 away from fifth.

His stellar play, along with better 
defense in front of him, is a key to 
Dallas' turnaround. The Stars have 
given up 103 goals, third-least in 
the West, over 42 games, com pared 
to 145 at the same point last sea­
son.

That 

im provem ent has come 
despite All-Star defenseman Derian 
Hatcher missing the last month with 
a partially tom ligament in his left

knee. He's expected back as soon as 
Friday.

The improved defense has been 
complemented by a rise in scoring, 
from 112 at this time in 1996 to 124.

All-Star center Mike Modano still 
leads the way with 26 goals and 37 
points, but he has more help. Free- 
agent signee Pat Verbeek has nine 
goals and 27 points, w hile Joe 
Nieu wendyk and Sergei Zubov — 
both acquired through farades within 
tfie last 13 months — each have 21 
points.

"Going undefeated the first cou­
ple of weeks gave us a great lift of 
confidence," said Modano, among 
the league leaders with six game- 
winning goals. "We committed our­
selves to the team and to each other, 
looking at the big picture instead of 
the small one."

Hitchcock credits part of the 
revival to extra scoring punch from 
guys on the third and fourth lines. 
That was never more evident than 
Wednesday night, when Dave Reid

picked up just the second hat trick of 
his 14-year career in a 6-3 victory 
over Detroit. Dallas' six goals were 
two more than Red Wings goal- 
tender Chns Osgood has allowed in 
a game all year.

More importantly, the victory was 
the Stars' second over the Red Wings 
in six days and their third in four 
tries this season. Dallas was 0-10-1 
against Detroit the previous two sea­
sons.

"I think we've finally caught up to 
them, with the speed of the game 
and the talent level," Modano said.

For all their splendor, the Stars do 
have several areas where they could 
improve in the second half. They've 
suffered several last-minute losses 
and they're just 11-9-2 at home, easi­
ly the worst among the division 
leaders.

"The opportunity was there to be 
even stronger in the first half," 
Modano said. "Who knows? Maybe 
we'll win those in the second half 
and be even better."

Austin candidate for ABL franchise

Associated Press

The American Basketball League
— a women's professional basket­
ball league set to expand next season
— is eyeing Austin and San Antonio 
as possible sites for a team.

"We're expanding by two more 
teams and are actively pursuing inter­
ested cities and Austin is one of 
them," said ABL co-founder and chief 
operating officer Steve Hams. "Austin 
or San Antonio and a half dozen other 
possibilities (outside of Texas)."

The eight-team ABL is currently in 
its inaugural season. It will expand 
by two teams in the 1997-98 season.

In addition to Texas, the ABL is 
also looking at Tennessee, Indi­
anapolis, M innesota, Wisconsin, 
New York, Florida, Long Beach,

Calif, and St. Louis, Hams said.

"It's very preliminary right now," 
looking for 
said Hams. "W e're 
investors 
in bringing 
interested 
teams into these areas and talking to 
local sports foundations. We have 
six to eight possible candidates 
[cities]. We should know more at the 
end of the month."

Hams would not name possible 

investors.

ABL chief executive officer Gary 
Cavalli said the league had three 
prospective investors for the expan­
sion teams — none in Texas. But 
Cavalli said investors aren't the only 
key to an expansion team.

"Strong local corporate sponsor­
ship or a local sports foundation that 
would guarantee ticket sales are also

factors," said Cavalli. "The decision 
where we go is not related to the 
presence or absence of an investor."

The league will contact officials in 
prospective cities through Jan. 24; 
visit cities beginning the last week in 
January and plan to make a decision 
by mid-February.

Amy Little, director of the Greater 
Austin Sports Foundation, had not 
heard from the ABL. San Antonio 
Sports Foundation executive direc­
tor Susan Blackwood said San Anto­
nio's interests lie with the eight-team 
Women's National Basketball Asso­
ciation, which debuts June 21. The 
WNBA has a team in Houston.

"This 

tow n's 

response 
about bringing in a team was with a 
WNBA franchise," said Blackwood.

initial 

University of Texas wom en's 
coach Jody Conradt was unaware of 
a possible ABL expansion to Austin.
"I haven't heard that at all, so 1 
don't have thoughts one way or the 
other," Conradt said of the coexis­
tence of UT women's basketball and 
a professional team. "We have a fan 
base for women's basketball, but 
scheduling would be a conflict."

The ABL has teams in Columbus, 
Ohio; Richmond, Va.; Atlanta; New 
England; Colorado; San Jose, Calif.; 
Seattle; and Portland, Ore. After 97 
games, the league was averaging 
3,351 fans per game. New England 
hosted the ABL's largest crowd of 
10,477 on Nov. 23 for a game against 
Columbus. Columbus averages the 
league's smallest crowds of 2,297.

Martin: RB sets sights for Super Bowl

Max Lane said.

This season, his touchdowns have 
increased from 14 to 17, second only 
to Washington's Terry Allen. He has 
32 touchdowns in 32 games. Only 
Jim Brown and Emmitt Smith aver­
aged more than one per game. And 
he's headed for his second Pro Bowl 
in two seasons.

All that from a third-round pick 
who was the 10th running back 
drafted because of an ankle injury 
while a senior at Pittsburgh.

Coach Bill Parcells says Martin is a 
far better player now because of his 
im proved receiving, blocking and 
ability to pick up the blitz. Ask Mar-

Guard William Roberts weighs 
298 pounds but was so eager to help 
Martin he raced all the way down- 
field.

"If there's one last block he needs, 
you want to give it to him," Roberts 
said. "That run isn't going to give him 
a big head, but he needed that because 
I don't think he took one to the house 
[end zone] like that this year.

"That's going to make him want it 
more. He never doubted himself. He 
just stayed ready."

With the emphasis on the passing 
attack, Martin never complained, not 
even when he rushed just eight times 
for only nine yards in the season 
finale against the New York Giants.

Now, after the best game of his 
career, he's not boasting that he'll 
have another one against 
the 
Jaguars. A strong running game is 
important to control the ball and 
keep dangerous quarterback Mark 
Brunell off the field.

"I can't just base everything on 
that (Pittsburgh) game," he said. 
"We have a new game, a new set of 
people, a new defense that we have 
to play against so I have to get ready 
for them."

tin about that and he prefers to talk 
about the far better team the Patriots 
have become.

"I believe our entire team is com­
ing together and playing well," he 
says when asked if he is peaking. "I'd 
like to break a run like that every 
game if you can help the team win."

Martin also brings excitement 
with his sharp cuts and speed that 
leave would-be tacklers grabbing air 
as he did on his 78-yarder that gave 
the Patriots a 21-0 lead early in the 
second quarter.

You don't have to block as long 
for Curtis. He'll just cut away from 
your block," said Lane, who helped 
spring Martin for the second longest 
run in NFL playoff history.

team chemistry.

Sure, his 62-yard bolt past Bruce 
Smith against Buffalo was vintage 
Means. But later in the game, he 
managed to shift directions in the 
backfield for a 30-yard touchdown 
run, and he did it again from 8 yards 
for a touchdown against the Bron­
cos.

More 

importantly, Means has 
gone a long way toward dispelling 
rumors he was a problem with the 
Chargers, quick to pout if things 
didn't go his way, slow to heal from 
a nagging injury.

"I have the utmost respect for that 
young man," Coughlin said. "He 
came in, he was beat out, he was 
injured ... he was never a negative 
on our team. He wasn't happy, but 
he asked me if he could contribute 
in any way he could."

The Jaguars tried to get him 
involved, rotating him into the 
game with Stewart. But that's not 
how Means succeeds. With his size 
and toughness, he wears down 
defenses as the game goes on.

’He's just so powerful," offensive 
coordinator Kevin Gilbride said. "It 
gives you a toughness as an offense, 
which is nice to have. The line loves 
blocking for him, and now their 
play has risen a little."

When Stewart was sidelined in 
the 12th game with turf toe, Means 
had the backfield to himself. And he 
delivered.

"Natrone Means has had nothing 
but a positive attitude since he got 
here," center Dave Widell said. "He 
lost the weight coach Coughlin 
asked him to lose, and even early on 
in the season when James Stewart 
was the starter, he didn't whine, he 
didn't cry.

"He prepared to play every week, 
and it's paying dividends for him 
now."

Means has reason to snub at the 
Chargers, who finished 29th in the 
NFL in rushing and missed the 
playoffs while Means was making 
his big run.

Swoopes to leave 
ABL to have baby

Associated Press

LUBBOCK — Sheryl Swoopes, 
perhaps the biggest star of the fledg­
ling Women's NBA, will miss most 
of its inaugural season for a reason 
that could not occur in the men's 
league: She is pregnant.

The 25-year-old Olympic gold 
medalist is due to deliver shortly 
before the WNBA season begins 
June 21 and will resume playing in 
August. The season ends Aug. 30.

"I'm very excited about it," she 
said Thursday. "People can have a 
lot of injuries, and this is one sort of 
an injury we know about ahead of 
time."

But it is a setback for the WNBA, 
which will be competing for fans 
with the rival American Basketball 
League. The ABL began a 40-game 
season in October.

"We just wish her the best," said 
Steve Hams, an ABL co-founder and 
its chief operating officer.

Swoopes' announcement came on 
the same day Jackie Joyner-Kersee, 
one of the ABL's most prom inent 
players, said she is taking a break 
from basketball to concentrate on 
track and field. The Olympic cham­
pion is to compete in the Millrose 
Games on Feb. 7 and might return 
to the Richmond Rage after the 
meet.

WNBA president Val Ackerman 
and other league officials declined to 
losing 
discuss 
Swoopes, whose all-around skills 
have earned her comparisons with 
Michael Jordan.

"We are very happy for Sheryl 
and Eric and hope that she has a 
comfortable and healthy pregnan­
cy," Ackerman said. "We look for­
ward to having Sheryl play in the 
WNBA as soon as she feels she is 
ready."

The league, which owns teams in 
eight NBA cities, has ballyhooed the 
signing of such stars as Swoopes, 
Lisa Leslie, Rebecca Lobo and 
Ruthie Bolton Holifield.

The league will assign stars like 
Swoopes to teams based on regional 
appeal and competitive considera­

tions, and it's 
been w idely

the WNBA's

"I don't w ant people to assume

said, adding she expects the league's

month. The WNBA hasn't set a firm 
date.

to come 

Swoopes reiterated Thursday she 
wants to play for Houston, though 
she realizes her early-season absence 
will create a temporary void for her 
team.

"I'd love for them to get their 10 
players, and when I get back I'll 
kind of prove myself to that team," 
she said.

In the meantime, Swoopes and 
her husband Eric Jackson, ner high 
school sweetheart whom she mar­
ried in 1995, are looking forward to 
their new arrival.

Swoopes is on a strict diet and 
exercise regimen and she'll continue 
playing in pickup games as long as 
she's able.

Swoopes, a 6-foot forward, scored 
a record 47 points with Texas Tech in 
the 1993 NCAA title game and fin­
ished that season as the NCAA's sec­
ond-leading scorer, averaging 28.1 
points a game. In the 1993-94 season, 
she played in Bari, Italy, and aver­
aged 23.0 points.

Marsha Sharp, her coach at Texas 
Tech, shared her former star's excite­
ment.

"I think th at's awesome," she 
said. "I told her if it's a girl, I want to 
sign her to a letter of intent the day
she's bom."

W eeeeell... for a m ovie about nothing, 
Jerry Maguire sure does have a weird charis­
ma about it. And, oddly enough, it's not 
just due to a certain beak-nosed Hollywood 
god tramping around as the main charac­
ter.

Sure, there is a story here, perhaps even 
several stories — boy loses everything, boy 
meets girl, boy marries girl, things get fraz­
zled, and so forth — but the basic storyline 
of a sports agent is pretty boring. Really, a 
sports agent — w ho cares? Man, fighter 
pilots, su p ersp ies and race-car drivers, 
thaFs where it's at.

But despite all that, Jerry Maguire is still 
fairly good. It's certainly not the subject 
matter — Jerry Springer is a hell of a lot 
m ore interestin g — but it's the sim ple 
hum an em o tion s that finally percolate 
through in something as far-removed from 
reality as a movie.

O d d ly en ou gh , it's Tom C ruise w ho 
does the least convincing job as a real-life 
person. But the supporting cast of Cuba 
Gooding Jr., Renee Zellweger and Bonnie 
Hunt pulls the movie along well enough.

The plot, such as it is, goes like this — 
Jerry Maguire (Cruise), mega-sleazy super­
agent, has a brief brush with humanity one 
night and publishes a mission statement for 
his agency about how they should treat

sty lized and peculiar, and under 
director Tim Burton anything, as 
you can guess, goes.

A lot o f the hum or in the film 
depends precisely on that. Parody 
has to have som ething to stand on, 
and th e e n tir e w o r ld o f Mar s

Album: Soundtracks for the Blind 
Label: Atavistic Cords
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ (out of five )______________

Over the course of the last decade and a 
h alf, a legend h as grow n, and rightly so, 
around Swans, a band that has taken music to 
new depths of power and emotion.

Since its inception in the early '80s, the 
band has created music so viscerally power­
ful in its extremes that it leaves most listeners 
b a ffle d as to its m ean in g, le av in g them 
instead to find whatever they can in tne sub­
terranean booming of Michael Gira's voice.

As the band turned from the muffled, thud- 
ding power of its early work to the painstak- 
ingly created melodies and sounds of more 
recent work, fans could still find intense emo­
tion poured into the music by Gira and his 
co-conspirator Jarboe.

But everything comes to an end, and after 
seemingly innumerable albums and all-too- 
rare tou rs, the force beh in d Sw ans have 
decided to end this chapter in their lives, and 
thus the final tour for Swans passed through 
Austin Monday night.

The band was in full operatic mode, deter­
mined to put on a memorable show despite 
the oppressive (by Texas standards, at least) 
cold. Although this meant that they were a bit 
pretentious for some fans — insisting that the 
sizable crowd that had gathered early on not 
be allowed to w itness the soundcheck and 
insisting further that no access be allowed 
through the sheets of heavy gauge plastic 
shield in g the east side of Em o's partially

SOUND SITES

open-air stage —the show still lived up to the 
expectations long-time Swans fans held.

Once the crowd was allowed to pour in, the 
show was opened by Windsor For the Derby, 
ex-A u stin ites who pleased the many who 
were at the show to see them as well with 
several "cuts" of their recent Trance Syndi­
cate EP Calm Hades Float. Though the highly 
abstract nature of the free-form am bience 
they created doesn't lend itself well to pick­
ing one song or another to play, the overall 
conesiveness of the m usic sounded great. 
Unfortunately, one over-zealous Swans fan 
caused problems when heckling escalated to 
a scuffle which resulted in a keyboard falling 
off stage, but it was still nice to see the return 
of a band that seems to be doing just as well 
in New York as they were here.

Structure was still nothing but a concept 
when Swans took the stage. They eased into 
the music, pulled by bass reverb and guitar 
drone u n til the sound coalesced into the 
orchestrated power of Feel Happiness.

Though the past half-decade has seen Gira 
and Ja rb o e ex p e rim en tin g w ith aco u stic 
m elodies, m ore recent w ork has seen the 
band making a slight return to the hammer­
ing power of old, and this show let everyone 
know once and for all the the intense power 
of Swans can be displayed through emotion 
and volum e, as the band plow ed through 
songs like Not Alone and My Birth, ostensi­
bly ballads, with a bombast and power none 
expected.

Though G ira's presence and lyrics were 
remarkably low-key at the onset, they would 
soon rear up as the same monster responsible 
for the dark storms of songs like Raping a 
Slave and Cop.

When: Monday, Jan. 6

But while Gira let that gather, Jarboe took 
center stage for a few of ner own numbers. 
And while Jarboe is by far my least favorite 
element of the group — a wannabe Diamanda 
Galás, as far as I'm concerned — her frantic 
screams through Blood on Your Hands and 
Hypogirl actually went over well.

But it was only after Jarboe moved back to 
her keyboard that Gira let the power of his 
music truly come through, as the band thun­
dered through I Crawled, a powerful song 
from the days when Swans were the loudest 
band around.

T h is w as fo llo w ed by an o th er b a lla d - 
turned-firestorm, I Am the Sun, which thun­
dered out in ways the album-track was never 
meant to. And then, with rem arkably little 
fanfare ("W e'll only play one more, so we 
d o n 't annoy you any m o re "), the band 
pounded out Blood P rom ise, and q u ietly 
departed the stage.

Though this snow was the last anyone will 
ever see of Swans, they still departed in fine 
form, leaving behind their last recordings, 
Soundtracks For the Blind, a sprawling dou­
ble album of various live tracks, truly disturb­
ing sound bites (culled from field recordings 
made by Jarboe's father, an FBI agent) and 
other sounds and textures that, not unlike 
their final show, display the band in all their 
glory.

‘Ellen’ to come out

A ssociated Press

PASAD EN A, C alif. — A BC 's 
Ellen is ready to "com e out." It's 
another question, however, whether 
ABC is ready to let her.

ABC Entertain m en t P resident 
Jamie Tarses said Thursday that an 
episode of the sitcom is in the 
works that reveals Ellen Degeneres' 
character is a lesbian. But, sne said, 
it's "w ait-an d -see" w hether the 
episode will air.

"We are very seriously consider­
ing about going in the direction that 
everyone's speculating on," she told 
reporters at the semiannual Televi­
sion Critics Association meeting.

Speculation began at the start of

the fall season when it was leaked 
that her quirky ch aracter, Ellen 
Morgan, may come out as a lesbian.
E llen is produced by D isney, 
which owns ABC, but Ms. Tarses 
said that won't be a factor.

"We are all taking this pretty seri­
ously and if we're going to do it, we 
need to do it well," Ms. Tarses said.

The decision to air the episode, 
Ms. Tarses said, would be made by 
several people, including herself. 
She said discussions would be held 
to determ ine w hat direction the 
show would evolve once the char­
acter comes out.

In any case, nothing will happen 

immediately.

Jerry
Continued from page 9

Jerry eventually marries Dorothy, 
almost as a passing thought, thereby 
gaining a cute little kid (Jonathan 
Lipnicki, who could be the next 
Macauley Culkin) in the bargain. 
With that set, Jerry just has to sit 
tight and wait for Tidwell to make it 
big.

Doesn't that just sound exciting?
Thankfully, director Cameron 
Crowe managed to tuck in some 
truly human foibles and quirks. The 
entire movie bears his signature — 
the story of one character fleshed out 
by the input of others.

The story here is of course of Jerry, 
who after losing everything starts 
grabbing for any semblance of the 
playboy life he lead before. He mar­
ries Dorothy to compensate for the 
loss of his vixen girlfriend, thereby 
gaining a family once again. He still 
tries to be a sports agent, instead of 
doing the sensible thing and getting 
a job to pay the bills. He's still set on 
being tne Jerry M aguire he was 
before, despite the fact that no one 
wants him to be.

Dorothy, naturally enough, catch­
es on and tries to let him go, and it 
takes a good chewing out from Tid­
well before Jerry even starts trying to 
do his job properly. Jerry Maguire's 
realization that he is human and 
needs to act like one is the crux of the 
movie. If that were all there were, 
this would all be terribly boring, but 
w rapped as it is in m oments of 
humor and real life catastrophe, Jerry 
Maguire manages to at least engross 
the audience for a few hours.

GOLDEN 
OPPORTUNITY

Do your friends describe 

you as sharp, self-assured 
and confident? For you, is 
the thrill of competition sec­
ond only to the thrill of vic­
tory? Do you find it easy to 
sell yourself and make others 
like you? Is the art of nego­
tiation your forte and com­
mon sense second nature? 
Are you willing to sacrifice to 
succeed? Is your ambition 
and integrity of the highest 
caliber? Do you like taking 
charge and managing 
people?

Do you have a college 
degree or plan to have one 
by May? Can you manipulate 
numbers easily and relish 
finding solutions to complex 
problems? Do you learn 
technical information quickly 
and have the memory of an 
elephant? Do you enjoy 
change and variety, including 
the challenge of having 
responsibilities that span 
marketing, sales, operations 
and personnel management? 
Are you a real go-getter with 
undauntable stamina and an 
inexhaustible level of 
energy?

Does a starting salary of 

20-26K per year, with an 
expected 45-80K after six 
years of continuous employ­
ment sound good?

If all the above describes 

you and you want a great 
opportunity at a fast-growing, 
quality-driven, Inc. 500 serv­
ice company - apply at 8 7 11
