The Pride Rally, hosted by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Ally Affairs Agency of Student Government, kicked off the University's annu­ al Pride Week. Pride Week is held every October and centered around National Coming Out Day on Oct. 11. Events featured the rest of the week include seminars, panels, free HIV testing on Thursday and Gay Movie Night on Friday. Students representing various organizations, such as Safe Space, StandOut and Campus Alliance Against Inequality, passed out fliers and colorful buttons fea­ turing such slogans as: “Out & Proud" and “Queer @ UT.“ This year, GLBT organizations are pushing for student involve­ ment in the Nov. 8 referendum. Voters will be asked to decide on Proposition 2, an amendment to the Texas Constitution that bans same-sex marriage and civil unions. Pride Week will feature a voter registration rally today between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on the West Mall and at Speedway. Today is the last day to register to vote on Nov. 8. Alexis Puchek, co-director of the Student Government's GLBT agency, said the voter registra­ tion rally will help organizations such as StandOut inform stu­ dents about the proposition. “We're people's building minds on what is Proposition 2, when's the election day," Puchek, a radio-television-film senior, said. “We're just making sure everyone's aware of the amend­ ment that's coming up." Jason Orne, StandOut assis­ tant director, said the organiza­ tion was "heavily focused" on Proposition 2 and is planning events to draw voters' attention before Oct. 24, when early voting begins. “We're going to be the first people to early vote," Ome, a humanities sophomore, said. “We're going to stay up all night [Oct. 23] — sort of an all-nighter against inequality." Though this year's Pride Week Pride continúes on page 2A Register to vote in the Nov. 8 referendum The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Ally Affairs Agency will host a voter regis­ tration drive from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the West Mall and Speedway tables.

Chelcey Adam i | D aily Texan Staff Art in a small West Texas town Artists, enthusiasts gath er to see art ‘lin ked ’ with the land By Rachel Pearson Daily Texan Staff MARFA — In the Davis moun­ tain range of West Texas, there are hills that look like whales rising from the earth. There are also rocky outcroppings that look like monks huddled in a confer­ ence about the valley: The valley is sunny and broad. The valley is criss-crossed with roads and towns like Marfa, population 2,121. The valley is filled with jackrabbits, raccoons, butterflies and art enthusiasts. More than 2,000 art enthusiasts came to Marfa this weekend for the Chinati Foundation's annual Open House. Chinati is the cornerstone of Marfa's art community, which has transformed the isolated city into a singular Texas phenomenon: a dusty small town with a full-scale bookstore and a gaggle of galleries, where ranchers brush elbows with New York City sculptors, and the coffee shop sells organic milk. The foundation was begun by the late artist Donald Judd in 1986, and it now houses works by Judd, Dan Flavin and John Chamberlain, among others. Its mission statement puts emphasis on “works in which art and the surrounding landscape are inex­ tricably linked." Indeed, much of Judd's own art melds nicely with the blowing grass and brilliant desert sky. It is not the art that sticks out; it's the art enthusiasts. With their beaded sandals, jagged haircuts and elaborate, unnecessary skirts over pants, they are like fancy birds blown in on winds from Austin and Houston. In the middle of West Texas' Chihuahuan Desert, these people look like they do not quite belong. Loaves of bread All over Marfa, serious conver­ sations about art are going on. On the back deck of The Brown Recluse, a local coffee shop, a group of UT students and gradu­ ates are having a discussion. "It's not art," it goes. "It certainly is art." “Well, you think it's crappy art." A r t continues on page 2A help on set Burnt Orange, Film Institute collaborate on cavem an com edy By Behnaz Abolm aali Daily Texan Staff The University of Texas Film Institute began recruiting students Monday for production work in its upcoming feature film, The Adam Rifkin Cavarían Comedí/. The production company wants about 35 UT students for produc­ tion, directing and acting jobs until the end of this month. Casting has already begun in Austin and Los Angeles. The film crew will move around different areas in Austin during the 20-day sh(x>ting and should complete their work by December, said Carolyn Pfeiffer, a co-producer for the film and president of Burnt Orange Productions, the partner company that will finance the movie. Burnt Orange Productions is a for-profit production company that collaborates with the UT Film Institute. The comedy, written by, directed by and starring Adam Rifkin will begin filming in Austin on Nov. 7. It follows the feats of Ishbo, a phil­ osophical caveman who yearns for the beautiful cave girl Fardart. “It's a comedy, but we want the locations, the production look, the design of the film and costumes to be more realistic," Pfeiffer said. She said the caves in the Austin area lend themselves to the film's prehistoric setting, which carries the spirit of classic Woody Allen films like Bananas and Sleeper. Co-producer Brad Wyman's most recent works include Monster and the TV series "Tommy Lee Goes to College." The film's execu­ tive producer is radio-television- film professor Thomas Schatz, also head of the UT Film Institute. The film crew will be conduct­ ing interviews with UT students all week to fill about 35 posi­ tions in all areas of production. Apprentices work up to 80 hours a week on productions, props and costumes, while interns work between 20 to 25 hours a week. Most apprentice positions will be graduate students, and some are paid. Internships are unpaid posi­ tions generally filled by under­ graduates. Above, Locals and visitors eat at the Chinati Foundation's open house Saturday night.

Photos by Joey Castillo D aily Texan Staff Small town works together to rebuild after Rita With little outside aid, residents must repair Jasper themselves By Robert Kleeman Daily Texan Staff JASPER — James Thompson was working with his wife to rebuild a church with a collapsed roof in time for its Sunday sen ice. It was Saturday, and Thompson maneuvered his shaky ladder, occasionally climbing down for paint and supplies. “This roof needs to be replaced, but all we have money for is to repair the old one/' he said as he hammered a rusty nail into rotted wood. Residents are determined to turn the grim aftermath of Hurricane Rita into an opportuni­ ty for the town to show its close- knit unity. Power is still out in some areas, schools remain closed and the damage assessment has only begun. The county of approximate­ ly 36,000 was struck by Rita's 100 mph winds two weeks ago. Federal Emergency Management Agency and Red Cross aid is scarce, concentrated in the major cities. With sparse federal and state aid obstructing relief efforts, local business owners and residents are giving their tools, resources and hearts in the rebuilding effort. said he Thompson rode Hurricane Rita out "in a van down by the river." It was the fifth one he has endured, and his experience in Jasper has shown him unity's true power. "Everybody goes by first name here," he said. "A lot of tempers have run short, but it's been a closeness like a family reunion. People are just grabbing tools and fixing whatever they can." A clerk at the Jasper County Courthouse said city operation would resume Tuesday and that more concrete statements on the aid situation could then be made. Across town at Wal-Mart, there is no produce, no frozen food, no fresh meats and the store closes at 6 p.m. Three restaurants are open for daily business — even sandwich chain Subway's lights are out. According to the sheriff's office, the police enforce a strict curfew from midnight to 6 a.m. Jasper-Newton Electric Co­ operative worker Clint Mays and his team were repairing power lines downed by an tree. Hundreds of uprooted trees in the area are engulfed in power lines, prolonging electric­ ity restoration complications.

Many of them look like Cadillacs that have been crumpled up, painted and strewn about by some cosmic 3-year-old. Most of the Chinati collection is housed in a long row of ware­ houses out on the edge of Marfa. This space used to be a U.S. Army fort, and some of the warehouses still feel a bit military.

After being vandalized earlier this week, the installation was restocked and repainted in advance of the Open House weekend. light-red grasshoppers and black grasshoppers that flash bright red w ings as they fly away. Guarding the art Saturday night, after a long day of art, everyone lines up for a free meal served on folding tables right in the m iddle of town. The rows of tables stretch for a block, and long lines of people w ait for platefuls of brisket and beans. As the sun sets, a mariachi band begins to play. The train runs right through the m iddle of town, almost drowning out the music as it passes. Thirty miles out of town, offi­ cer David Tarango is guarding a big fake Prada store in the desert. H e's been parked beside it since 8 p.m., and he'll be here till 6 a.m., m aking sure nobody tam pers w ith the store, which is actually a piece of art called "Prada Marfa." The door to "Prada Marfa" is sealed, but through its lighted glass front you can see 20 expensive shoes and six designer Prada handbags. "Prada Marfa" is designed to decay slowly in the desert, and its creators Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset could accept some hum an interference. "If som ebody graffitis it a little, that's OK," Tarango says. Fiis job is to m ake sure that nobody irreversably dam ages the piece again. Last week, tw o days after the piece opened, vandals broke in, stole some shoes, and spray- painted "D um b" on the side of the building. Tarango says nobody has tried to mess w ith the exhibit since it was restored after the vandalism last week. A bus-load of gawkers came by earlier, but that's the most exciting thing that's happened tonight. The occasional car zooms by. The stars hang low and num er­ ous, and the mountains are quiet in the distance. A little colony of moths huddles on the glass wall of the exhibit, draw n across the desert by the bright lights of "Prada Marfa." CORRECTIONS In Monday's Texan, in a story on page 5A about cloning calves, biology lec­ turer Pratibha Saxena should have been quoted as saying she was opposed to the idea of cloning animals for food purposes, because it seemed like that type of cloning would only benefit economic advancement, rather than scientific research. In Monday's Texan, a headline misrepresented the location of Saturday's earthquake. The earthquake predominantly devastated South Asia. The Texan regrets the errors. 7*1 Colima» S Itl« B oard W ook Ski 20 Mountains 5 Resorts tor the h : - i & Price on ^ .

The stepped-up campaign against the draft docum ent comes as leaders of the Sunni Arab com ­ munity are in the thick of last-min­ ute talks with Shiite and Kurdish leaders to reach a com promise on the divisive charter. Sunni-led insurgents are warning Sunnis not to vote at all, backing their calls with threats and violence. Iraq's Sunni Arabs — about 20 per­ cent of Iraq's estimated 26 million people — boycotted last January's historic general election, but this time only insurgent groups are calling on voters to stay away from the polls. NATION BRIEF New Orleans officers charged in beating caught on tape NEW ORLEANS — Three New Orleans police officers are facing battery charges after investigators reviewed a videotape showing two patrolmen repeatedly punching a 64-year-old man accused of public intoxication and a third officer assaulting an Associated Press Television News producer w ho helped capture the arrest on tape. After being questioned and arrested, the three officers were suspended without pay Sunday, police spokesm an Marlon Defillo said. The police promised a criminal investigation. The assaults com e as the depart­ ment — long plagued by allega­ tions of brutality and corruption — struggles with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the resignation last m onth of police Superintendent Eddie Compass. The APTN tape shows an officer hitting the suspect, Robert Davis, at least four times in the head Saturday night outside a French Quarter bar.

Officials predict the death toll, now estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000, will climb and fear that more could die from exposure or disease with winter just six weeks away. The United Nations has said 2.5 million people near the Pakistan-India border need shelter. More than 48 hours after the magnitude-7.6 quake, survivors were still being rescued from under piles of concrete, steel and wood. A man w as pulled from a pancaked two-story house in M uzaffarabad, two girls were P resident plucked from a collapsed school in Balakot, and a woman and child were pulled from an apartment building in Islamabad. Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who called Saturday's earthquake the country's worst on record, said his government w as doing its best to respond to the crisis. He had appealed for inter­ national help, particularly cargo helicopters to reach remote areas cut off by landslides. Washington pledged up to $50 million in relief and reconstruc­ tion aid, U.S. Am bassador Ryan Crocker said. "We have under way the begin­ ning of a very major relief effort," he said. Pakistan also said it would accept aid from longtime rival India, which promised tents, food, medicine and other aid. In one neighborhood, shop­ keepers scuffled with looters scav­ enging crushed stores for cooking oil, rice, biscuits and flour. The storeowners and looters fought with large sticks and threw stones, and some looters suffered head wounds. N o police were in the area. "We haven't eaten anything for two or three days. The shops are closed, and we haven't got any­ thing from the government," said a 20-year-old man who refused to identify himself as he ferreted away stolen goods. "We are desperate and hungry." Soldiers on an army truck threw bags of rice to a throng of people with outstretched arms. In the Pakistani capital, rescu­ ers continued digging through the ruins of what had been a 10-story apartment building after pulling the woman and child to safety. Asim Shafik, who was assisting in rescue efforts, said voices were heard in the rubble where at least two dozen people died. In Balakot, a badly hit town in North West Frontier Province, townspeople hearing cries for Kashim iri survivors of the d e a d ly quake flee their h o m e s w ith their b e lo n g ­ in g s near M uzaffarabad, Pakistan on M on da y.

Bodies were laid out on a bas­ ketball court, while workers with pick axes dug up a playground for use as a m ass grave. Merkel promises economic reforms for Germany By G eir M o u ls o n The A ssociated Press BERLIN — C onservative Angela Merkel struck a power- sharing deal M onday that will make her the first woman and pol­ itician from the ex-communist east to serve as Germ any's chancellor, forging a coalition with ousted leader Gerhard Schi'oeder's party to reform the faltering economy. The country's two biggest political forces were forced into talks on forming a joint govern­ ment after a Sept. 18 election gave Merkel a victory — but with a margin so slim Schroeder's party demanded equal treatment in a "grand coalition." To resolve the im passe, the Social Democrats gave up Germ any's leadership, but the party secured the bulk of the ministries, including the pres­ tigious Foreign Ministry. Both sides agreed to start for­ mal negotiations on a new gov­ ernment next Monday. Merkel said both sides aim to complete them by Nov. 12, after which they will need endorsement by party conventions. Under the terms of the agree­ ment, the Social Democrats would head the foreign, finance, labor, justice, health, transport, environ­ ment and development minis­ tries. Merkel's Christian Democrats and her sister party, Edm und Stoiber's Christian Social Union, would get the economy, defense, interior, agriculture, family and education portfolios. With Merkel as chancellor and her chief of staff also a Cabinet-level post, the two sides would have equal represen­ tation at the Cabinet table. The parties have tire right to propose their ministers. There was no word Monday on whether Schroeder, Germany's leader for the last seven years, might play any role in a new government. Franz Muentefenng, the chairman of his party, said he would take part in the coalition talks but that there had been no other decisions. It remained unclear who might be the next foreign minister — or, indeed, who else might serve in the Cabinet, with only the econo­ my minister's job decided. That is expected to go to Stoiber, the gov­ ernor of prosperous Bavaria. "The great challenge of the next years will be fighting unem­ ployment, so this coalition has to do everything to make sure the competitiveness of the economy is OK, that there is growth and that unemployment can be fought effectively," Muentefering said. Germany's 11.2 percent jobless rate helped drag Schroeder's out­ going government to defeat. But whoever enters the new Cabinet, the new government's econom­ ic reform efforts may bear little resemblance to Merkel's campaign pledges. The that Germ any's complex income tax system should be simplified and loopholes reduced, but agreed to scrap plans by Merkel to cut tax breaks for Sunday and night two sides agreed shifts. Her proposal to finance a cut in nonwage labor costs by increasing value-added tax w as up in the air. and C onservatives Social Democrats said they would keep in place the system under which unions and employers negotiate industrywide wage deals, although they left open the door to loosening the rules. Merkel wanted to give firms and employees more leeway to opt out of those deals. Parliament m ust convene by Oct. 18 but is not obliged to vote immediately on a new chancellor if coalition talks are still ongoing. Merkel's forces have 226 votes in the 614-seat parliament, while the Social Democrats have 222. A coalition needs 308 seats for a majority.

IX 4A Tuesday, October 11, 2005 VIEWPOINT Last day to register to vote Often voter registration representatives stand on street comers actively campaigning for citizens to register during a general elec­ tion vear. City council, state or gubernatorial elections and special elections — elections reserved for voting on state constitutional amendments — receive attention, but are plagued with lower voter turnout and apathy. The registration deadline to vote on the upcoming Texas Constitutional amendment election on is today. Among other amendments to be voted on Nov. 8, the controversial Proposition 2 remains the forerunner. Proposition 2, sponsored by Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, and Sen. Todd Staples, R-Palestine, reads that "marriage" in Texas is solely the union of a man and a woman. The state and its political subdivisions could not create or recognize any legal status identi­ cal to or similar to marriage, including civil unions or marriages to same-sex couples created outside of Texas. This amendment strengtht ns the Defense of Marriage Act passed by the Texas Legislature in 2003. DOMA ensures the state will be prevented from legally recognizing same-sex unions and civil unions formed in other states. Amending the Texas Constitution is unnecessary, because it just repeats what is already written. Texas law already prohibits same- sex marriage^ and prohibits the recognition by the state or its politi­ cal subdivisions of a same-sex marriage or civil union. The purpose of the amendment is not to reinforce the sanctity of marriage, it's to reinforce Chisum and Staples' personal biases toward same-sex couples. Amendments shouldn't regulate who can marry, whether it be a man and a woman, a man and a man or a woman and a woman. The Legislature couldn't balance tax plans with public school finance in its regular session and two special sessions, vet it had time to marginalize a segment of the Texas population. Other amendments that will be voted on include an amendment authorizing the denial of bail to criminal defendants who violate a condition of their release pending a trial, define rates of interest for commercial loans and clarify that certain economic development loan programs do not constitute a debt to the borrower. A complete list of issues can be viewed on Secretary of State Roger Williams' Web site ivww.sos.state.tx.us. It is important citizens vote in the election to show dLscrimination in Texas will not be tolerated. Who someone chooses to join in union or marriage should not be a debate for the state. There are more important issues the state could be spending tax dollars on than solidifying that which is already law. Voting in any election, whether it be for an elected official or to amend the state constitution, is vital. Taking an active participatory role elections begins with the responsibility to become informed voters.

Does anyone else dislike the"OU sucks" cheer as much as I do? It just doesn't fit with the rest of UT football. Not to mention the fact that, given OU's domination for five years running, it sounded a little ridiculous. At the game Saturday, after three quarters of the chant, my kindergar­ tener turned to me and said, "You know, Mom, the other team really sucks, don't they?" Ugh. We have players and coaching staff with b ig talent, heart and class. I d say most of our fans aren't such a bad lot, either. So why is "OU sucks" the Cotton Bowl cheer of choice? The 'Horns are back on top, and how sweet it is, but let our fans reflect the class program that we are. M ary Yancy Doctoral candidate Dept, of Educational Psychology Reading between the lines An excellent satirical piece by Devon Ryan on Sept. 28 kicked off an ongoing debate on the validity of stay-at-home moms. She bril­ liantly mimics the derogatory tone of "corporate success at all costs" advocates in such phrases as "Well, thank God we taught women to read and do math, because some of those casserole recipes are com­ plicated." In parroting the circular and manipulative reasoning that, instead of doing what they want, women should simply go for the big bucks. Ryan lays bare the frailty of her opponents claim. Her taunt at the pro-corporate nanny advocates, in the using the anemic source of the film ‘Titanic" as her historical reference, was perhaps overboard, but well understood. Thinking this intricately-woven decoy to be an actual argument, EDITOR'S NOTE O p in io n s expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the edi­ tor, the Editorial Board or writer of the article. They are not nec­ essarily those of the UT adm inis­ tration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. Jeannette Martinez launched an emotional, yet understandable, defense of mothers who mother — yet ironically to one who well knew her point. As for those who thought comments spewing from Dustin Barrientes were a bit incoherent, let us give him the benefit of the doubt, for his lack of reasoning may very well be congenital. We can imagine that, had he proper care­ takers available to him, he would have learned some manners. Ryan Peterson Biology sophomore Well done, SolarD! I would like to congratulate the UT Solar Decathlon team for such wonderful representation at the Solar Decathlon here in Washington D.C. this week. The Texas team clearly stands with the best, and the modular green solar home they constructed is really something to be proud of.

Lai Basic human rights for all By Ian G reenleigh Daily Texan Columnist Immigrant-rights groups often rely on arguments that complete­ ly contradict their humanitarian cause. The debate rages on in its typical reactionary fashion, where the cloud of accusation and emo­ tional fervor prevents the rational consideration the issue merits. The argument that the United States is utterly dependent on, and should therefore permit, ille­ gal labor, perfectly encapsulates a callous betrayal of the very indi­ viduals immigrant-rights groups claim to fight for. The hard work of undocument­ ed immigrants has indeed con­ tributed to this nation's prosper­ ity. Illegal immigrants are lured across our borders every day by promises of better pay and fair treatment. Some see their dreams fulfilled, and their success stories entice others to try their hand at the American dream. Thousands, of hopefuls arrive daily to see if the stories are true. All too many now regard them as myths. Prosperity does not justify employ­ exploitation. Those ing immigrants have little incentive to treat laborers Tragically, exploitation fairly. is profitable. Illegal immigrants are not afforded the same rights Americans take for granted, and legal recourse is usually not an option for someone who fears illegal retribution, deportation or unem­ ployment. The people behind the American labor movement fought valiantly to protect the rights of working men and women. The rights of citizens employed in the United States are secured by countless labor laws and regulations. These rights do not necessarily encom­ pass non-Americans. As a result, the exploited remain in the shad­ ows. Those who want to strengthen border security are labeled rac­ ists, rednecks, xenophobes and hypocrites. Anyone opposed to unchecked-border crossing is considered ignorant of the eco­ nomic benefit resulting from immigrant labor. What about the hypocrisy of human rights groups justifying porous borders, because they allow for a system of labor exploitation to contin­ ue? Yes, the average American enjoys the low-priced goods and services made possible by illegal labor, but this in no way justifies its occurrence. The same argu­ ment could be used to support the slave trade; the antebellum economy certainly benefited from free labor. Neither form of exploi­ tation can be justified by the eco­ nomic benefit provided. Many studies have found a correlation between an influx of illegal laborers and a reduction in wages for native-born United States citizens. This phenomenon is also reminiscent of the South before abolition. Far from ben­ efiting from the institution, non- slaveholding Southern whites had dismal employment oppor­ tunity in a system that relied on free labor. Today, the temptation to uti­ lize the lowest-cost labor possible remains, and creates an economic climate in which native unskilled laborers are simply unable to compete. Those who do find menial jobs are seeing their wages suffer as they are forced to choose between unemployment and an ever-shrinking paycheck. Some allege that immignmts only take positions American citi­ zens have no desire to fill. A study entitled "A Jobless Recovery?" found that "even those occupations with the highest concentrations of new immigrants still employ millions of native-born workers." Many other studies refute this "lazy American" argument. illegal Granting amnesty to immi­ grants who have entered the United States illegally is not the solution either. The problem with amnesty programs is that they promote immigration. While efforts to bestow essential rights to people who live within our borders are noble, they are also problematic. It is unrealistic to grant legal status to everyone who finds his way here. No nation on Earth can be expected to shoul­ der such a responsibility. As such, no seriously considered policies have been aimed at granting legal status to all immigrants. However, amnesty eligibility has grown more encompassing, resulting in an increase in illegal immigration. The illegal-labor market is grow­ ing as amnesty hopefuls flood into the country and those that are ineligible or awaiting confir­ mation seek employment. More in illegal more exploitation, despite efforts to legally recognize undocument­ ed individuals. immigration results No single remedy exists for the abuse illegal immigrants encoun­ ter daily. People who cross the borders are subjected to exploita­ tion at every stage in their journey. They are treated like cargo by the coyotes who smuggle them and are ripped off by document forg­ ers who take what little money they have earned. Efforts to pros­ ecute foreign nationals for these crimes are opposed and deemed racist. When they finally arrive, immigrants are further victim­ ized by a black market that fails to acknowledge their basic rights. Sadly, those who claim to speak on their behalf justify illegal immi­ gration by praising the alleged economic benefit it provides. In doing so, they legitimize a system that values them as nothing more than cheap labor. Greenleigh is a go vernm ent sophom ore. U.S. is shouting in the wind By Daniel P. Rubenstein Daily Texan Columnist King Abdullah is so hot right now. of King the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan since his father, King Hussein, died in 1999 after 47 years on the throne, His Majesty King Abdullah II bin A1 Hussein's citizens revere him like a father. He is a celebrity abroad as well. His perfect English makes him a welcome guest on American news shows. King Abdullah jokes that Jordan is caught between Iraq and a hard place. His country is indeed in a rough neighborhood. On the east looms Iraq, not exactly a bea­ con of stability. On the west over the Jordan River are Israel and the Palestinian Authority, not the best of friends. On the north lurks Syria, which in 1970 sided with the Palestine Liberation Organization in an attempt to overthrow Jordan's King Hussein (the Israelis mobi­ lized, threatened Syria and saved Jordan). On the south is the U.S.'s favorite gas station, Saudi Arabia, whose ruling Saud fam­ ily expelled King Abdullah's Hashemite the family Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Media in 1925 after more than 700 years of rule. The Hashemites still hold a grudge. from Despite being an isolated des­ ert country with few natural resources, Jordan is a reliable U.S. ally in a volatile region. Stability, however, is no longer the stated objective of U.S. foreign policy. Bush's President vision, expressed in his second inaugu­ ral address, is that, "The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world." Many Americans question the likelihood of succeeding in expanding freedom to the Arab world. In Jordan, one of the Arab world's more open societ­ ies (although that does not say much), my cab driver Yousef scoffed at my inquiry on democ­ racy, saying that Jordanians do not need to vote. "The people need a king more than a parliament," he says. "The king knows better." Giant photographs of King in Abdullah are everywhere Jordan. His cult of personality gives him a 100 percent approval rating. The king is infallible. "What if the King does some­ thing that is clearly wrong?" I asked. "Then he has bad advisers," is the reply. This attitude is nothing new. in his Alexis de Toqueville, Democracy in America, said, "The French under the old monarchy held it for a maxim that the king could do no wrong, and if he did do wrong, the blame was imputed to his advisors." Wondering how this servile attitude still exists in the 21st century, I inquired as to what literate Jordanians read in their own language. I searched all day m Amman, the capital city, for a bookstore. Many locals act as if they have never heard of such a place. Eventually, I found an outdoor newsstand that also had a large selection of books. The rumors about what the Arab world reads are all true. The most prominently featured book is the Protocols o f the Elders o f Zion, a Czarist forgery of Jewish leaders' plans for world domina­ tion. No longer widely read in Russia, the book is now a best­ seller in the Arab world. Also displayed for passersby is anoth­ er best-seller — Mein Kampf, Hitler's racist rant. Books like Natan Sharansky's The Case fo r Democracy and Fareed Zakaria's The Future o f Freedom are nowhere to be found. There is, however, one promi­ nently displayed American book, and it's at eye level, right below Protocols. It's not The Federalist Papers or The Adventures o f Huckleberry Finn, but Michael Moore's Stupid White Men. The United States needs more than a condescending campaign from Karen Hughes in order to inculcate the finer points of America's vision to this part of the world. The U.S. must, when possible, encourage change from the grassroots. Using war to reform the Arab world will, in the long run, be the exception rather than the rule. President Bush understands that freedom comes from within. He said in his second inaugural address that, "[U.S. policy] is not primarily the task of arms, though we will defend ourselves and our friends by force of arms when necessary. Freedom, by its nature, must be chosen... America will not impose our own style of govern­ ment on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, attain their own free­ dom and make their own way." While leading a democratic revolution in both Afghanistan and Iraq, America can settle for leading a democratic evolution in countries like Jordan. The United States has other interests besides the wholesale forceful overthrow of non-democracies. Instead, King Abdullah should be pushed to continue being a voice for liberal­ ization in the Arab world. The expansion of freedom requires an effort beyond speeches, photo-ops and talking points. The United States must publicly sup­ port dissidents jailed for speaking out against tyranny. If we turn our back on those who dare to face their oppressors, then our coun­ try's objectives will be dismissed as shallow and self-serving. Ending tyranny is our genera­ tion's challenge. But if Arabs aren't even allowed to have conversa­ tions among themselves about their own country's future, then Americans' conversations about reforming the Arab world will be like shouting in the wind. We'll feel good for speaking up, but nobody will hear.

UT Athletics posted a message on their Web site stating that fami­ lies presenting a church bulletin at the gate would receive a dis­ counted admission price to the UT volleyball game against Baylor University. The message was later modified, changing "Faith and Family Night" to "Saturday Special: All fans attending this match will receive $2 general admission!" UT Athletics director for women Christine Plonsky, who learned of "We do not segregate different organizations and youth groups for our promotions. It was a mistake and I take full responsibility" Christine Plonsky, UT women's atletics director the promotion over the weekend, said the message was an "uninten­ tional mistake." "We do not segregate different organizations and youth groups for our promotions," she said. "It was a mistake, and I take full responsibility." Plonsky said the message was especially inappropriate for the University, a state institution. She said she found herself uncomfort­ able with the promotion and was glad staff members and certain individuals brought the matter to her attention. "We regret we offended some individuals, but we've made things right and will do it right again in the future," she said. A letter sent to the Austin- American Statesman on Oct. 9 criticized the University for "pro­ moting faith." The writer, Lakeway resident Marcy Musgrave, said an announcement for the Baylor game Faith and Family Night was made during a soccer match against Texas A&M University. Texas Christian Fellowship small group leader Amy Dixon said she believes the promotion would have been a mistake. The UT English senior said she is reli­ gious and devoted to her faith but did not see why anyone would use religion to sell volleyball tickets. "I don't understand the motive behind that," Dixon said. "I think it's strange." FIRE NEAR CAMPUS Comedy class gives realistic lessons Movie: NewUT I comedy From p a g e l A This is the third movie Burnt Orange and the UT Film Institute have filmed with UT students in production roles. Filming of The Cassidy Kids was recently com­ pleted, and The Quiet debuted at the International Film Festival. "The beauty of the Burnt Orange system is you meet a lot of people on set who are professionals," said radio-televi- sion-film senior Rick Diaz, who worked on The Cassidy Kids as a production assistant over the summer. "You're working with a lot of other UT students who are there trying to learn just like you are." Diaz said he gained connec­ tions with other film directors that he hopes to take with him in a film career in Austin. This semester he hopes to secure a position on the set of The Adam Rifkin Caveman Comedy. Students interested in a posi­ tion as an apprentice or intern for must submit a resume and letter of intent by Oct. 31, Gilbride said. National Lampoon course offers chance to pitch show ideas By Hyunjin Kim Daily Texan Staff Christina Thurber, a radiotele- vision-film senior, said she has always been madly in love with making people laugh, and now she can learn that skill in a class sponsored by National Lampoon Network. "This class seemed like an awe­ some opportunity," Thurber said. This semester, 26 radiotelevi- sion-film students have an oppor­ tunity to pitch, create and produce comedy programming that will air on a college cable channel in a new class called National Lampoon: Comedy Production. Students are working on their scripts, the best of which will be selected by Orin Woinsky, vice president of National Lampoon Network. The network is an advertiser- supported television network. It airs at more than 600 college cam­ puses and reaches nearly 5 million students. The class gives students a hands-on, realistic taste of the deadlines and pressures involved in making episodic programs. National Lampoon hopes the network will serve as a breeding ground for fresh, original comedic voices, Woinsky said. "Finding and nurturing young talent who might go on to become the next generation of comedy stars is our goal," said Woinsky, who flies in from Los Angeles twice a month to help teach the course and to bring in guest speak­ ers. The idea for the class began with Cauleen Smith, a radio-tele- vision-film assistant professor. Smith said she and Woinsky hammered out the basics for a comedy class while she was on the phone, walking across campus. Smith said that Woinsky is a good friend of hers from the Los Angeles-based network. "When I came to UT to teach, Woinsky would frequently ask me if there were any supreme talents at UT that he should know about," said Smith. She said she realized a real relationship between her stu­ dents and the Hollywood indus­ try could form. "A large chunk of our under­ graduate students really like pro­ ducing comedy." Smith said. Norman Lieder, a radiotelevi- sion-film senior, said, "We learn how to do and what to do. Making movies is like making cookies. Like cookies, movies don't sell unless they're good. If we make something that's not funny, we should be lampooned." Smith said comedy is generally not considered appropriate aca­ demic fare, but she considers it a true challenge. "Most comedians can inhabit dramatic roles successfully, but it's not at all a given that a great dra­ matic actor will have the chops and timing to do comedy," Smith said. "That's why I thought it would be great to create an envi­ ronment where comedy could be studied and produced." Smith said students attend lec­ tures, study movie classics such as Animal House and analyze come­ dic styles and strategies, as well as interact with industry profession­ als such as Animal House producer Matty Simmons and producers Scott Richardson and Ben Gleib. Woinsky said he was blown away when students pitched their show ideas. "I'm very impressed with the UT RTF students in the class," said Woinsky. "The pitches were origi­ nal, detailed and very funny. I am anticipating great things." Greg Elliott | Daily Texan Staff A fire broke out on Monday at Ivory Cleaners and Alterations on the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Rio Grande Street at approximately 3:50 p.m. The cause of the fire and the extent of the damage are not known at this time. According to Rene Garza of the Austin Fire Department, flames and smoke shot through the roof of the building, causing extensive structural damage. Ivory employee Jose Padilla, 20, escaped unharmed along with another employee, Tian Nguyen, 20. Padilla reported the fire by running down the street to Fire Station No. 2 on MLK. No one else was in the building at the time and no one was hurt. The restaurant next door, Bert's Bar-B-Q, was unaffected by the fire. — Patrick George Free Food & Fun!

Tran Phone: (512) 232-2206 State senator’s son arrested By Marjon Rostami Daily Texan Staff Twenty-six-year-old Andrew Fraser, son of state Sen. Troy Fraser, R-Marble Falls, was initially arrested for public intoxication Wednesday but talked his way into a second- and a third-degree felony. Officers were responding to a disturbance call on the 300 block of East Sixth Street at 2:15 a.m. when Fraser repeatedly interfered with the investigation, police said. Police documents describe Fraser as having glassy, bloodshot eyes and the odor of an alcoholic bever­ age on his breath and being unable to walk properly on his own. After police officers repeatedly asked Fraser to leave or face arrest, he left in a taxi but returned twice. Upon his second return, Fraser was placed under arrest for public intoxica­ tion, according to the document. According to the police reports, Andrew Fraser Fraser was secured into an APD van but managed to unlock his seat belt and fell face down in the van. All the while, he was telling officers they would regret arresting him because of his father's status as a state senator. Fraser was taken to an APD patrol car and transported to the Travis County Jail. During the drive, Fraser said, "I will give you $1,000 if you let me go right now." When the officer did not respond Fraser said, "OK, I will give you $10,000 if you let me go," according to the documents. While walking to the jaii, Fraser upgraded himself to a third-degree charge when he threatened to physically attack the officer. The threat was classified as retaliation, a third-degree felony. Fraser was released after bond was posted at $5,000. Troy Fraser, a legislator since 1987, offered a statement in response to his son's actions. "My wife and I are saddened over an incident that occurred on Tuesday night involving our son Andrew. We love our son and will support him during this time. We ask the public and the media to respect our family's privacy while we address this issue," he said. Town: Power restoration top priority for residents From p ag e l A remained without power. He said his company has been taking power restoration one block at a time. "Slowly but surely, there's a little bit of daylight," he said. Jasper resident Rebecca Roth said her roof looks as though somebody had balled a tree and threw it on her garage. Roth said last week the few gas stations open for business were only accepting drivers with credit cards. The Shell gas station in down­ town closes its doors at 7:30 p.m. Like many other major businesses, until Friday evening, it operated on a gasoline-powered generator. Driving west from Jasper, there are more signs of devastation every few miles — homes crushed, vehicles smashed and some people wandering aimlessly with no idea what to do next. Thompson has an idea. "We can do the work to restore this town to what it was," he said. "It will be a few months before we can get to all the homes here. I just hope the word gets out about this wonderful community and that it won't be forgotten." Samsung to expand By Ivonne Snavely Daily Texan Staff The decision to build a $3.5 billion Samsung plant in Austin awaits approval from its board of directors in Korea. The city council has already signed off on plans approving tax incentives, hoping to maintain its high-tech status. Samsung's proposed $3.5 billion chip factory will bring an addi­ tional 700 jobs, said Bill Cryer, a company spokesman. The compa­ ny's board of directors is expected to make the final approval in a month, he said. If Austin lands the new plant, it would be built next to Samsung's computer chip production facil­ ity built in 1998, on about 300 acres Samsung owns in Northeast Austin. After Samsung representatives announced the need for a new project site in late 2004, Austin offi­ cials aggressively sought to secure the bid from competitors world­ wide, said Assistant City Manager Laura Huffman. The city of Austin put together a performance-based incentive package of about $231 million. According to the terms, proper­ ty taxes will be reduced for the company over the first 10 years. Samsung has to invest a mini­ mum of $2.5 billion in building and equipment before they are eligible for a full tax rebate. Over the following 10 years, they have to make a $3.5 billion investment to receive a 75 percent rebate on property taxes. "Incentives are getting more controversial in the United States, but I think everyone can see the value of Austin winning this type and size of project to maintain the high-tech industry of the city," Huffman said. If the proposal is approved by its board, Samsung will receive an incentives package of $58.5 mil­ lion over 20 years while the city will receive $500 million for the investment. As part of the incentives pack­ age, the city has also required that Samsung recruit some employ­ ees from East Austin. Huffman said they have not agreed on any specific numbers for this require­ ment. "Samsung has a diverse work­ force, and they see this as a busi­ ness goal and as a necessity," she said.

Ahn Chung-hwan Associated Press Researchers look to past for avian flu preparedness By Meghan Young Daily Texan Staff __ In the past century, three pan­ demic flu viruses have killed more than 28 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. The most recent pandemic was 37 years ago, caus­ ing some to think that the avian flu could be next. Romania and Turkey reported their first cases of avian flu this weekend. These are the first cases of the avian flu in Europe, a result of wild birds migrating from Asia, where the flu has killed millions of poultry and wild birds. Since 2003, the WHO has documented 116 cases of avian influenza in humans, 60 of which were fatal. that's really think unexpected," said Robert Krug, a molecular genetics and microbiol­ ogy professor. "It's migrating the way one would expect. These are wild birds; they're going to be all over the world soon." "I don't Currently, the avian flu virus infects humans only through con­ tact with sick birds. If the virus mutates and is able to transfer from human to human, "we're in real trouble," Krug said, adding that it wouldn't take much for the virus to change in this way. Human symptoms of avian flu range from typical flu symptoms, such as fever, cough and sore throat, to pneumonia and severe respiratory disease, which can result in a loss of all lung function. There is no vaccine for the avian flu virus, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is coordinating plans to stockpile antiviral medication. CDC announced Wednesday success­ scientists their that fully reconstructed the virus that caused a 1918 pandemic flu virus that killed 20 million to 50 million people. Reconstructing the virus made it possible for scientists to learn which genes made the virus so lethal, the CDC said. By focus­ ing on these genes, they can bet­ ter develop vaccines to prevent a future pandemic. Krug is not convinced the recon­ struction of the 1918 virus will help combat the avian flu. "We have this avian virus out there — we know how it's chang­ ing. We need to find out what makes it virulent," he said. "The 1918 virus only exists in that lab." Krug, a member of the UT Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology, runs a lab on campus that does experiments using a virus incapable of causing disease to try to find out which changes in spe­ cific genes make the avian virus so serious. A draft of the Bush adminis­ tration's Pandemic Influenza Strategy Plan, which was released anonymously to The New York Times, calls for a national stockpile of 133 million courses of antiviral medicine. "The problem is that they've waited so long that they won't get enough of it for a long time. Right now I think they have enough to treat 2 percent of the U.S. popula­ tion," said Krug, who estimated that it would take a year and a half for the United States to get the amount it has ordered. Krug said that the more the virus is transmitted from birds to people, the more likely it is to mutate. He also said that if a per­ son is infected with the avian flu virus in addition to another virus — one that easily transfers from human to human — then the two could recombine and a new, lethal virus could emerge. Regular flu vaccines could lower this risk. The virus is active in the wild bird population, and many affect­ ed birds, such as ducks, show no sign of illness, Krug said. "Those birds will be in America, you can count on that," he said. But they're not here yet. in "The chances of anyone America having the avian flu are small. To me, it doesn't seem like this is the year," Krug said. In response to the avian flu, the Texas Department of State Health Services is revising its pandemic influenza plan in coordination with new CDC and WHO plans. "It's a matter of coordination," said Emily Palmer, a spokeswom­ an for state health services. She said it's very important that all the organizations' plans are in sync so that in the event of a pandemic outbreak, they can work together to keep people safe. The Austin-Travis County Department of Health and Human Services Department has made preparations for a pandemic one of its projects for the fiscal year, aiming to have a plan by October 2006, said spokesman Bob Flocke. Their current plans are the same they would use for any kind of outbreak, such as smallpox, Flocke said. "There are more serious threats to public health," Rocke said. "We're much more concerned with the regular flu season, which just began." The regular flu kills more than 30,000 Americans each year. A fast way to help pay off your car.

David J. Phillip Associated Press Team gets two days to rest, recover before 2004 playoff rematch By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press HOUSTON — Sure, the Houston Astros had a plan in case Roger Clemens needed relief: Now pitch­ ing for the first time in his big league career, is outfielder Jason Lane. Fortunately for the Astros — and Lane — they didn't have to go that route. Instead, they'll head to St. Louis with their rotation fully rested for the NL championship series. Andy Pettitte is lined up to start Game 1 Wednesday night. All thanks to Clemens and Chris Burke. Clemens pitched three scoreless innings in his first relief appearance since 1984, and Burke homered in the 18th to end the longest postseason game ever and lift the Astros over Atlanta 7-6 Sunday. "Rocket might have thrown 10, 20 innings," Houston manager Phil Gamer said. "I think he was pre­ pared to do whatever it took. And that's the way the man is. I've never seen anybody like him. He's amazing." The Game 4 victory clinched the first-round series, and it took 5 hours, 50 minutes and eight Astros pitchers to win it. "I wasn't thinking instant clas­ sic," Houston third baseman Morgan Ensberg said. "I was think­ ing it was a grind-out dogfight that we had to figure out someway to come out on top." than Rather traveling for a decisive Game 5 in Atlanta, the Astros got some much-needed rest Monday. Gamer gave his club the day off. Next up is a rematch with St. Louis. The Cardinals won the NLCS in seven games last October to deny the Astros their first World Series appearance. "We finally have another oppor­ tunity with the Cardinals. We have a shot," Houston second baseman Craig Biggio said. "You only get a few chances like this in your career." Garner used every player on his 25-man playoff roster Sunday except Pettitte and Roy Oswalt. Oswalt won Saturday night in Game 3, which ended just 14 hours before the series-ending marathon started, and Pettitte would have been needed for a game Monday. The Astros still have Clemens and 20-game winner Oswalt for Games 2 and 3 in the NLCS. The if the only thing unclear was Rocket's 44 pitches on two days' rest would change the order.

"Every game is a big game for Texas," offensive guard Kasey Studdard said. "If you're a highly ranked team, people are going to want to beat you." The players believe playing two ranked teams immediately after the Sooners will help keep their focus during practice this week. Like Texas, No. 13 Texas Tech remains undefeated, while No. 24 Colorado's only defeat came at the hands of No. 7 Miami. "In a way it's good, because you have to be ready every week, and it keeps you focused," defensive end Brian Robison said. "But in a way it's bad, because you face two great teams, two weeks in a row. They're going to be coming out firing for us. We're the No. 2 team in the country, so they're going to give us their best shot." Texas plays Colorado this weekend in the Longhorns' first home game since Sept. 17 against Rice. The Buffaloes put the hammer on Texas A&M last Saturday with a 41-20 victory in Boulder and remain undefeated in conference play with a 2-0 record. "In the Big 12, everyone can come up and play with anyone on any given day," offensive guard Will Allen said. Texas freshman Jamaal Charles has shined in the spotlight this season, posting three 100-yard games, but Colorado has their own Charles. Sophomore run­ ning back Hugh Charles has recorded three 100-yard games of his own this season, racking up 487 rushing yards and 139 receiving yards. Longhorn defensive players described Charles as a speedy, shifty back and one who's a nice comple­ ment to senior quarterback Joel Klatt, who is more of a pocket-passer. Klatt torched the Aggies for 398 yards and three touchdowns last week. Wrights run Rod Wright scored Texas' final touchdown in the team's 45-12 victory over Oklahoma this weekend on a 67-yard fumble recovery. Safety Michael Griffin is one of many teammates still teasing Wright about his return. "That was the longest run I've ever seen in my life," Sypniewski celebrates his touchdow n catch in the third quarter o f Colorado's 4 1 -2 0 vic­ tory over Texas A&M on Saturday. The loss continued to expose flaws in the Aggie defense w ith high-scoring offenses Texas Tech and Texas still on the schedule. David Zalubowski Associated Press in Nebraska, Hodges leads players o f week By Ryan Killian D aily Texan Staff Facing fourth-and-goal against Nebraska, Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges and the Red Raiders were in trouble. Down by four late in the fourth quarter, Hodges took the snap and looked to Jarrett Hicks first, only to find him cov­ ered. The quarterback scrambled to buy time as defenders closed in. Wide receiver Joel Filani somehow got open in the end zone, and Hodges found him. Filani made the game-winning catch and was named SBC Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts. Filani had two more touchdown receptions in the game and finished with 11 catches for 163 yards. Hodges threw for 368 yards and four touchdowns, but put the praise squarely on Filani's shoulders. "Joel [Filani] deserves a game ball tonight," Hodges said. "He made plays and set the tone. He's gone from not being able to make a catch to not dropping a single ball." In 2003, as a redshirt freshman, Filani played in every game but had only one reception for nine yards and a pair of carries. Texas Tech's Holiday Bowl victory last seasort over fourth- ranked California was a break­ through game for Filani. He had five catches for 144 yards, includ­ ing one for 60 yards. The long reception was Filani's second touchdown of his career. Filiani's 12 catches last year were only one more than his total in Saturday's game.

North Carolina State's Chuck Amato, with goofy glasses, could probably start, being a chee­ tah, in this backfield, but he's too old and would probably lose the game. That tradition, a staple of the Aggies' vaunted Wrecking Crew defense in years past, is gone. The Aggies' pass defense is ranked at the bottom of the Big 12 through the first five games of the season, giving up an astounding 304.6 yards per game. Colorado Joel Klatt picked A&M apart for 398 yards, and the Buffaloes thumped the Aggies 41- 20. "We came out and didn't play well," A&M defensive back Jaxson Appel said. "Colorado flat out beat us soundly. We have to get back to work, practice hard and believe we are a much better team than this." After a last-second field goal denied them a season-opening vic­ tory at Clemson, it would have been hard to imagine that the loss in Clemson's Death Valley may have been the high-water mark for the A&M defense. Sure, the Aggies rolled over SMU, 66-8, but they struggled mightily to put away Texas State at home. They faced a Baylor program that had not won a Big 12 road game since the emergence of the conference 10 years ago and had to settle for a come-from-behind overtime vic- Aggies continues on page 2B Tuesday, October 11,2005 SPORTS BRIEF Texas swimming coach takes indefinite leave of absence Longhorn women's swimming and diving co-head coach Mike Walker is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the program, the Athletics Department announced yesterday. Walker has helped guide the program along with co-head coach Jill Sterkel since 2000. There was no reason given for his leaving, and no expected date for his return. "Mike is one of our outstanding coaches and has worked relentlessly since he joined our staff," UT Women's Athletic Director Chris Plonsky said in a statement released by the University. "His request for time away right now is one that I fully support. Our staff members and student-athletes expect to continue forward toward a success­ ful season." Texas has placed among the top seven in the NCAA Championships in each of the previous five seasons, including a third-place finish in 2001. The Longhorns were sixth last March. The team has won seven consecutive Big 12 Championships. — P h illip O rc h a rd SCOREBOARD Steelers 24, Chargers 22 N F L M LB Angels 5, Yankees 3 Astros: Lane was next to pitch From page 1B Game 2 start. He struck out four of the 11 batters he faced and allowed just one hit. If the game had dragged on longer, Gamer was ready to use Lane, who last pitched in a game in 1999 for Southern California. And Clemens, who before throw­ ing a pitch entered the game in the 15th in the first pinch-hitting appearance of his career, might have stayed in the game. "I'm sure they could hide me in the outfield. Why not?" Clemens said. The Astros are in the playoffs for the ninth time. The closest they came to the World Series was last season, when Clemens had an early lead in the seventh game of the NLCS against the Cardinals. "It's been a grind for us for a long time," Ensberg said. "We've been plaving playoff baseball since April." www.dailytexanonline.com 2B U.S. falls in qualifier to Costa Rica By Sim on Provan Daily Texan Staff Costa Rica celebrated through­ out the weekend after its national team clinched a berth in the 2006 World Cup with a 3-0 win over the United States on Saturday night in San Jose, Costa Rica. The U.S., now 0-6-1 in qualifi­ ers in Costa Rica since 1985, opted to leave several regular players with their club teams because the team had already qualified for Germany 2006. For Costa Rica, however, the win clinched third place in the CONCACAF region (North America, Central America and the Caribbean) and a spot at next year's World Cup. "Some mistakes were made that more experienced players would not have made," U.S. coach Bruce Arena said. "But overall, I accomplished the objec­ tive of watching certain combina­ tions of players play together." Costa Rica coach Alexandre Guimaeres wanted every advan­ tage he could gain and benefited from calling up a majority of his players from Costa Rica's best First Division team, Deportivo Saprissa. With many of the U.S. play­ ers still making their case to be included on the World Cup roster, the pressure was evident from the start. Five minutes into the match, defender Eddie Pope slipped on the Astroplay surface as he tried to clear a ball from the goal area. The ball rolled to defender Oguchi Onyewu, who also mishandled an attempted clear. Costa Rican forward Alvaro Saborio's sub­ sequent shot was inadvertently saved by Pope's face. Although the U.S. seemed to regain its composure for the next 20 minutes, Paul Wanchope put away the game winner off of a U.S. defensive collapse in the 34th minute. After the ball was won in midfield by Costa Rica, a beauti­ ful through ball was placed to Saborio. Pope gave him too much room, and Saborio took a shot that U.S. keeper Tim Howard got his hands on, but couldn't hold. An unmarked Wanchope eas­ ily placed it into the U.S. net. With the goal, Wanchope became the highest goal scorer in Costa Rican national team history with 43 goals in 65 games. Coming out of the locker room down 1-0, the U.S. began to lose its composure as evidenced by Carlos Bocanegra's yellow card in the 51st minute, Onyewu's 54th minute yellow, and a 71st yellow card issued to Lewis. Costa Rica's Carlos Hernandez then scored with a brilliant strike from 21 yards out, catching U.S. keeper Tim Howard out of posi­ tion and putting the Ticos up 2-0 . Texas: Wright still catching breath after run From p a g e lB Griffin said. "I didn't think he was going to be able to get there," defensive end Tim Crowder added. With Wright's touchdown, Crowder remains the only start­ ing defensive lineman without a touchdown. Robison scored on interception return against an Missouri last season while Frank Okam recovered a fumble in the end zone against Rice earlier this year. "Tim's slacking," Okam said. Crowder said he might do a flip if he scores a touchdown this week. Odds and ends Adding evidence to the impor­ tance of a strong run game, Brown pointed out on Monday that the nation's top team, Southern California, is also No. 1 in rushing with 291.2 yards on the ground per game. No. 2 Texas is close behind in second with 288.6 yards per game. Robison wears a black rubber band on his left wrist with the phrase "I own the guy guard­ ing me." Robison said the band is actually a Michael Jordan bracelet, but is something he tries to think about every time he's on the field. Henry Melton went 0-for-2 in 3rd-and-l situations against Oklahoma on Saturday. Mack Brown said the blocking in front of him wasn't very good but remained confident in Melton's ability to move the sticks in short yardage conditions. Referees flagged Texas 12 times for 110 yards Saturday, marking the second consecutive week the Longhorns have committed 10 or more penalties in a game. Oddly enough, the three undefeated teams in conference play have averaged the most penalty yards per game. Texas Tech is first with 110 yards per game, Colorado is second with 90, and Texas is third with 83. Kickoff time for Texas' home game against Texas Tech on Oct. 22 is set for 2:30 p.m. and will air on ABC. The Tech game will be the Longhorns' fourth appear­ ance on ABC this season after playing Ohio State, Oklahoma and this week against Colorado. Aggies: McNeal wants help from defense From page IB tory over the Bears. "We need to practice hard and ,get better," A&M quarterback Reggie McNeal said. "We are bet­ ter than this. I don't have anything left to tell you." This week, the Aggies second­ ary may get a break when they face Oklahoma State. Things have not turned out as well as many hoped under new head coach Mike Gundy. With starting quar­ terback Bobby Reid questionable for Saturday's contest, things may be getting worse. If Reid is not able to go, former Leander High School standout A1 Pena could be under center for the Cowboys. "We're not sure who will play quarterback for us," Gundy said. "But we will probably know a Co-Sponsor for Frosty Wooldridge to speak & to protest & petition House Bill 1403-Illegal Im m igrants allowed to attend Texas colleges & universities (Outact: Preston Wiginton Em ail: pre8tjay@hotmail.com Ph: 361-ññ()-3799 (Thin is u statewide effort - already Ixxiked at Texas Tech, SMI and others) Women Ages 18 to 45 Up to $3000 Right now PPD is looking fo r healthy, non-sm oking w om en betw een the ages of 18 and 45 to participate in a medical research study o f an investi­ gational m edication.

"We know Oklahoma State has some talent at quarterback," Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione said. "We saw Bobby Reid out of high school, and he's going to be a great player. Al Pena looked good while he was in there last week against Missouri. We're just not sure what they may be doing at that position." the call Whoever gets for Oklahoma State is going to have his work cut out for him. The Cowboys are struggling mightily on offense and currently rank 11th in the conference in pass offense, averaging 143 yards per game. Big 12: MU s Smith, BU s Havens earn honors From pa g e lB Other Big 12 Picks Brian Smith was all over the field Saturday for Missouri on his way to winning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors. His 11 tackles included four for a loss and two sacks. He also brake up a pass, forced a fumble and hurried the quarter­ back once. "He has worked hard and certainly deserved to win after the game he played Saturday," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. Smith forced the fumble late in the second quarter that allowed the Tigers to tack on another touchdown. The score gave the Tigers a 21-9 lead at halftime, and they won 38-31. Baylor needed to get a leg up on Iowa State to record its first- ever win in a Big 12 road game. The Bears got it from place kick­ er Ryan Havens. He was perfect in three field goal attempts as Baylor upset Iowa State 23-13. Havens connected from 49, 21 and 36 yards out. He also kept the Cyclones from starting in good field posi­ tion as four of his kickoffs went for touchbacks. The performance earned him recognition as the Big 12 Special Teams player of the Week.

Wade lawyer says womens rights have grown since trial By Claire Harlin Daily Texan Staff It's Oct. 11, 1972. She awakes early to review her notes. Without a hair dryer, she pins her tresses in a bun after accidentally being drenched by the shower head. She meets a friend for breakfast, all the while pondering how she could possibly be more persuasive today than she had been almost a year ago at her first argument before the Supreme Court. It's a rarity for the high court to order a second argument — almost as rare as hearing a woman argue it. She may be a bit less nervous this time, but the pressure has only heightened as eyes all over the world watch her unravel a controversial thread in the fabric of women's rights. She's 27 years old. This is her first-ever contested case. For Sarah Weddington, today is a big day. "If you had said to me on Oct. 11, 1972 that you would still be talking about this on Oct. 11,2005, then I would have thought you were crazy," said Weddington of her experience successfully argu­ ing the landmark case Roe v. Wade, which established American wom­ en's right to obtain an abortion. Running half-court W eddington described the years before Roe as "too early for women." Upon graduating from the UT School of Law, she had a hard time finding a job and settled for being a lawyer's assistant. U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, gradu­ ated from law school in the same class as Wedd ington, and ended up being a reporter, because nobody would hire her, Weddington said. Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was doing volunteer work, because it was all she could find. Weddington, now an author and UT professor, remembers being permitted to run only half­ court when she played college basketball. "Most women just accepted it, but I was one of those women that said 'Why can't I just keep running?'" she said. Her husband had to co-sign on her first credit card. Female teach­ ers were forced to take leave or resign when they became preg­ nant, Weddington said. University Health Services would not admin­ ister birth control to a woman without proof they were at least six weeks away from marriage. The policy stated six weeks would ensure that a woman be protected on her wedding night. Weddington was the first to point out there was no women's restroom in the Supreme Court lawyer's lounge. Until about 10 years ago, there still wasn't one, she said. It's been over 30 years since Roe v. Wade, and Weddington feels the way of life before the case has largely been forgotten. This, along with drastic changes underway in the Supreme Court, has caused her to worry about the future of Roe. "The Supreme Court is a space shield protecting Roe from the conservative federal officials that would overturn it in a second," Weddington said. "If the new jus­ tice opposes abortion, the gamma rays could melt, and the shield would no longer be protective." Weddington also said that "Young women today don't know what it's like to live in a time of back-alley and coat-hanger abortions." Before Roe v. Wade, wealthy women underwent safe procedures by traveling to states where abortion was legal. Many poor and young women, how­ ever, suffered injury or death from attempting the procedure them­ selves or seeking it illegally. Estimates of the annual number of illegal abortions in the 1950s and 1960s range from 200,000 to 1.2 million, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. In 1930, abortion was listed as the official cause of death for almost 2,700 women, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute. The death toll had declined to just under 1,700 by 1940, and to about 300 by 1950, most likely because of the introduction of antibiotics. By 1965, the number of deaths due to illegal abortion had fallen to just under 200, but they still accounted for 17 percent of all deaths associated with pregnancy and childbirth. The report states these are just the numbers offi­ cially reported; the actual number was likely much higher. Arguing Roe In 1967, a group of UT students sought Weddington's advice on whether it would be illegal to circulate information about safe places to seek abortion. "I said, T don't know. I'll go to the library and look it up.' If I would have known I'd end up at the Supreme Court, I prob­ ably would have said no," said Weddington, who at that time was the first and only woman to have an office at the School of Law. In the early 1970s, Weddington, along with the students, decid­ ed to file a lawsuit claiming the Constitutional right to privacy should apply to a woman's repro­ ductive choices. Little did they know it was one of several similar suits across the country and it would end up in the high court. Weddington described her first appearance before the Supreme court as "awe-inspiring." "I was so frightened," she said. "I had no idea if I had won or lost. I especially didn't think I'd be back to reargue." It's very rare for a case to be reargued, and rumors circulated as to why Roe. v. Wade was heard again. Maybe it was because there were only seven judges the first time, as opposed to nine. Maybe it was because ex-President Richard Nixon, w ho vocally opposed abortion, was campaigning for re-election. But Weddington says rumors in "a dim e a dozen" are Washington. The second argum ent was much less intense than the first, she recalled. "Questions were popping in the first argum ent," she said, snapping her fingers to illustrate the justices' rapid-fire questions. "The second time it seemed as though they had already made up their minds." The justices' lack of response on Oct. 11 left her more nervous than she was before. Now she could only wait. The decision in favor of her argument would not come back until Jan. 22. Recent Governmental Action on Abortion TX HB 15 (Informed Consent Legislation) — Passed in 2003. Requires that w om en wait 24 hours after visiting a clinic before having an abortion. TX SB 419 — Enacted in June 2005. M in ors m ust obtain paren­ tal consent before getting an abortion in Texas. TX HB 2907 — Introduced in March 2005. W ould prohibit abortion th ro ugh out all stages of pregnancy except in cases of life endangerm ent in Texas. W ould take effect if Roe v. W ade is over­ turned by the Suprem e Court or a constitutional am endm ent. Partial Birth Abortion Ban — Signed into legislation by President Bush in N ovem ber 2003, it is the first direct national restriction on any m ethod of abortion since Roe v. Wade. Sources: Texas Legislature W eb site, www.state.tx.us a n d A lan Guttm acher Institute, w w w .agi- usa.org Roe and not just check it off the list, but I want to work on new things," she said. "I think none of us would want to feel they were at the peak of their career at 27." But Weddington said she is con­ tent that she has made an impact on society. "Everyone wants to know they have made a difference," said Weddington. "I know I have. I may be tired, but I am not bored." Associated Press Sarah W e d d in g to n a rgu e d in front of the Su p re m e C ourt in Roe v. Wade. Window to the past A handmade goose-quill pen hangs from the wall of Weddington's office. It is the same pen that was waiting in her seat on Oct. 11,1972 when she entered the court rtx>m. The pens are given to anyone who argues before the Supreme Court — Weddington has two. She pointed out other memora­ bilia: pictures taken at fancy dinners with various presidents and first ladies; original paintings, includ­ ing a mural of influential figures with Weddington's face in the fore­ ground. Her tone became serious as she came across a picture of the Supreme Court justices who decided Roe. "We were lucky. If you notice, they're all men — one black," Weddington said as she ran her fin­ ger across the autographed photo.

Couch joined long, the station , an d before becam e the y o u n g est sp o rts program director KVR-TV ever had. C redentials in hand, Couch helped pitch a show to the pro­ gram directors and the station's highest profile show, A T X Most Wanted, w as bom . “I alw ays h ad the idea of doing a hip-hop show like 'R ap C ity' or '106th an d Park,'" said Couch, "b u t I d id n 't w ant to be 'candy rap ' and play the sam e songs over and over." A T X Most Wanted consists of m usic videos, debate forum s and the occasional studio audience. "The first half hour is A ustin access, and the second is only in dorm s," said Couch. "We give exposure to local artists, w e've done local 'C ribs' and had inter­ view s w ith nam es like Big Mo." The show h as com e a long w ay since debu tin g in the spring of 2004. N ow in its fourth sem es­ ter, C ouch has produced one of A ustin's m ost successful public access television program s. The title of "hottest thing on public access" m ay seem like being d u bbed the freshest rap ­ per from Bulgaria, but the bro ad­ cast has becom e a certifiable hit. C ouch's inbox is often filled w ith stu d en t fan mail. A T X w as nam ed Best N ew Show by Texas M a t t N o r r i s | D a ily Texan Staff Jerod Couch's ATX Most Wanted show on KVR has becom e one o f Austin's highest rated cable access shows. S tuden t M edia and co-creator Evan H ichm on earned an aw ard from College Broadcasting Inc. for Best O n-A ir VJ. A T X Most Wanted d o esn't feel like it is being taped at a univer­ sity. Everything from the opening credits — a m ontage of A ustin nightlife set to flashy beats — to the host, to an in-house DJ, come across as decidedly urban. A ccording to Couch, this is a testam ent to the om nipresence of hip-hop culture. "The m ost p o p u lar guy out is Kanye West, and he plays up the college angle all the tim e," said Couch. "It's silly, expecting us to talk 'p ro p e r' just because w e're in college. Some of us com e from the hood, and w e're going to be ourselves." Lately, A TX Most Wanted has decided to sprinkle their talent roster w ith fresh faces. Similar to the "W annabe a VJ" contest MTV held in the late '90s, A T X Most Wanted will begin auditions this Tuesday. Yes, all enrolled students can give it a shot. No, Jesse C am p w o n 't be there. "We need talent and I w ant to get the public involved," said Couch. "W hile it is about gaining experience [the applicants have] got to understand it's also busi­ ness; people need to know w hat they're talking about. You need confidence and personality. Fight through the nerves because it'll show on the air." By Gerard M artinez Daily Texan Staff W riter Paul M onette could have used a N ational Com ing O ut Day w hen he w as grow ing up. Celebrated since 1987, the day is aim ed at em pow ering gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgen­ der (or GLBT) individuals across the U nited States. A ccording to the H um an Rights C am paign Foundation, the day is "aim ed at show ing the public that GLBT people are everyw here, [while] encouraging GLBT people to come out and be honest about them selves." G row ing up in N ew England in the 1950s, M onette struggled to come to term s w ith his hom o­ sexuality for nearly 30 years. His struggle took on tw o distinctive dim ensions: in terpersonal the an d the intrapersonal. O n the one hand, M onette had to deal w ith social expectations. O n the other, he had to reconcile his ow n personal dem ons before he could be true to him self. M onette's memoir, Becoming A Man, has com e to be considered quintes­ sential reading of the "com ing- out" genre. He first realized he w as gay around the tim e w hen other lit­ tle boys started using the w ord "faggot" to hum iliate the o u t­ sider kids. Surely, a gay p er­ son reading this book today can identify w ith M onette's stru g ­ gle for social acceptance. M any w o u ld think com ing out now is an easy task. Some believe that America has com e a long w ay since the p rudish and sm all-m inded days of the 1950s. Rem em ber M atthew Sheppard, w ho w as attacked and killed by tw o men in 1998 because of his sexual orientation. That w as in W yoming, b u t hatred know s no like to state boundaries, and S hepard's fall to social bigotry could have taken place anyw here. Social aw areness helps define a person. Society' loves labels and stereotypes, because they're so easy. It's easier for the school­ yard bully to dism iss the new kid as just "som e faggot" rather than recognize his hum anity and his value as a hum an being, because that w ould require introspection and repentance. America breeds a lot of bullies.. The w ord "fag­ got" is still used, w idely and viciously, by kids all across A m erica. Society p e rp e tu a te s notions of w hat a person should and should not be. Is it any w o n ­ der then that M onette felt so tw isted u p inside, he denied his sexuality and played the p art of an "eunuch" for nearly 30 years? It w o u ld be u n tru e to say social restraints are solely w hat held M onette back from being true to himself.

At m ore than one point in his life, M onette had the oppo rtu n ity to com e out of the closet to friends. H e chose not to. Surely Paul could have told someone. Surely there w ere people in his youth that he could have reached o u t to. But, he did not. Yes, M onette craves social acceptance. But, m ore im p o r­ tantly, he needs to be able to accept himself, to be w illing to love himself. The first 25 years or so of his life seem like w ast­ ed time, tim e w hich could have been spent being happy, m aking good friends and falling in love. Instead they are consum ed by a paralyzing fear. Even the erotic experiences M onette has in his teens w ith other m en are suf­ fused w ith restraint. "We never kissed," M onette w rites ab o u t h is early sexu­ al encounters w ith men. W hy c o u ld n 't he kiss the m en he felt for? Because that w ould be giving in to te n d er em otions, d eeper em otions, m ore substan­ tial em otions. In other w ords, em otions that are forbidden to exist betw een tw o men. W hen he steals glances at his dirty m aga­ zines, it's alw ays w ith a feeling of guilt an d sham e. It's as if fear h ad perm eated every facet of M onette's being, stopping him from being satisfied even on a base and carnal level. All the w hile, M onette is tantalized by the im age he h as never seen: "tw o m en in love and lau g h ­ ing." Becoming a Man is engaging and provocative, a superb exam ­ ple of the com ing-of-age genre. It is w ritten w ith such fresh w it, bitter h u m o r and p iq u an t energy that despite its oppressively sad story, it never seem s like a woe- is-me, strung-out sob tale. Becoming a M an w on the N ational Book A w ard in 1992. M onette has since died of com ­ plications associated w ith AIDS. H is m em oir has earned a reputa­ tion as the definitive com ing-out story. But to call it just a com ­ ing-out story is too easy, because Becoming a Man is so m uch m ore than that. It reaches far beyond the question of sexual identity. A nyone, gay or straight, m ight read this book and be able to identify w ith M onette's ultim ate dilem m a: how to have the cour­ age to be w ho you are. M onette w as correct in asserting that any sad, insecure an d self-loathing individual can call som eone a "faggot." But it takes a real m an to be true to himself. f t EE G A L .
