Jacksonville or San Antonio? The hassle of making travel arrangements or the luxury of being a football's throw away from the stadium? For Aaron Ross, there was no question where he wanted the Longhorns their bowl to play game — in his hometown of San Antonio. On Sunday, he got his wish. Texas (9-3) will meet Iowa (6-6) on Dec. 30 in the Alamo Bowl. A Ross fam­ ily invasion on the Alamodorne is already in the works. “My whole family is going to be there/' said Ross, who attended Fox Tech High School for two years before moving to Tyler. “And if they can't all get in they will be outside tailgating, waiting for me." The Gator Bowl decided early Sunday afternoon to take West Virginia over Texas. Now the Longhorns will make their first appearance in the Alamo Bowl. The payout is $2.25 million, compared to the $2.5 million of the Gator Bowl. It will be Texas' third time to play in the Alamodorne. Texas beat SMU 37-10 in 1993, and fell 22-6 to Nebraska in the 1999 Big 12 Championship. “We look forward to welcom­ ing the history and tradition of the Texas Longhorns to San Antonio," said Bob Cohen, Alamo Bowl chair­ man. “We couldn't be more excited with this matchup." It will mark the second time the two schools have met, with the first a 55-17 Iowa win in the 1984 Freedom Bowl. “It's going to be a good one, with two traditional powerhouses going at it," Justin Blalock said. “We are looking forward to getting down there, having a good time, ALAMO continues on page 2A T h a t h o l i d a y g l o w Brandon and Morrissa Lockridge keep warm at the 39th annual ZilkerTree lighting ceremony Sunday at Zilker Park.

For her efforts, Wiese won the honor of lighting the tree with Mayor Wynn. "This is my first time actually winning some­ thing, and I think it's my first time even partici­ pating," she added.

The building's lease is set to expire this month, but will probably be extended through August 2007 to give the center time to find a new space and to raise money to relocate, she said. Flores would not specifically discuss the details of negotiations for the lease extension, which began about three weeks ago, because she said White Lodging feels the discussion should not take place in the public realm.

Pat Michels Daily Texan Staff LBJ launches soda! innovation competition UT System, A&M, Rice students to compete fo r $50,000 prize By Laura Blewitt Daily Texan Staff Students from the UT System, Texas A&M University System and Rice University will have the chance to compete for a $50,000 prize to make their ideas for a social entrepreneurship project a reality. The RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service, a graduate student program at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, launched the program this year, whereby one student or group of students with an idea for a social project will compete for the $50,000 seed money to get their project off the ground, said RGK center Director Peter Frumkin. The winner should have an innovative vision seek­ ing to accomplish important social purposes, said Heather Alden, program coordinator for the Social Innovation Competition. For example, PlayPumps International uses children's merry go rounds to pump water from underground storage tanks, she said. Another example is Teach for America, which is a group of recent college graduates who commit to teach in rural and urban public schools.

Beth Walterscheidt, President of the National Christmas Tree Association and co-owner of Evergreen Farms Christmas Trees, said the choice between an electric tree and a traditional, live tree is “ It would be nice if they could find (a real tree] to use," Walterscheidt said. “ But I know they want an extremely tall tree to put out there." This year, Walterschiedt said she provided two 8-foot trees for Gov Kick Perry and decorated another tree for the Blue Room in the W hite House.

T h k D a il y T k x a n MANITAS: Center faces challenge of finding new space From p a g e !A “ It's stressful not to know where this change is going to happen, or when this change w ill happen," said parent Allison Rowland. "The fact is, there's going to be teachers who need a place to work, and there's going to be kids who are going to need someone to take care of them, and that won't change." Rowland said she walks over and visits her son everyday dur­ ing lunch, an event that is only possible because of the day care's downtown location. Because of its ethnically diverse environment, Escuelita del Alma is teaching her 1-year-old son to respect diversity and speak Spanish phrases, she added. difficult, because day cares do not pull in as much profit as retail stores and take up ground-floor retail space, Flores said. Cynthia Perez, owner of Las M anitas Avenue cafe, which shares a close relationship with Escuelita Del Alm a and is nego­ tiating along with the day care for a lease extension from W hite Lodging, said there needs to be a day care downtown to serve the needs of people working there. "You're going to bring 45,000 people downtown, and there's no room for your children?" Perez said. Finding another location down­ town for Escuelita Del Alm a is "I'm not against business, progress and development. I'm against city politicians who should be helping people who are underrepresented rather than helping the wealthy people build another Marriott, when there's already 17 in A ustin," Perez said. Three C ity Council members sent a Sept. 28 letter to the C EO of M arriott International defend­ ing the local businesses at stake and asking that M arriott revise its development plan, Flores said. W hite Lodging responded that it could not build around the busi­ nesses, because the convention hotel would require the entire space of the block, she said. Instead of the city giving tax breaks to corporations, the cor­ porations should be lining up to give Austin money for clean air, clean water and other social responsibilities, especially those benefitting children, Perez said. W hat makes Austin unique is the culture and the people, not corporations, she said. "N o w for economic develop­ ment, green is the only color that matters, and whoever's in the w ay moves," Perez said. LBJ: Five finalists to present plans to panel of judges in May From p a g e l A The student or students with the best idea for social change w ill be chosen through a three-step process. The first step requires participants to submit a three- page "dream paper" by Feb. 16 outlining what they would like their project to focus on, Alden said. From there, 30 participants w ill be chosen to write a 10-page full venture plan. Five finalists w ill then be selected to present their venture plans on M ay 5 to a panel of judges from the business, phi­ lanthropy and nonprofit com­ munity, Alden said. These judges w ill select the final winner. "W e're not expecting students to take over the world, but they can start small. Their ideas should have scalability and be far-reach­ ing. The projects are only limited by the ambition and imagination of the contestants," Alden said. The $50,000 may only be enough money to barely get the winner started, but the competition plans to help the winner collect more money from investors, Alden said. The audience of the final presenta­ tions will include venture capital­ ists who maybe interested in fund­ ing the project, she said. The M F I Foundation and other private donors provided the prize money, Frum kin said. At this point the competition is very flexible, Frumkin said. It has also been expanded to the A& M System and Rice University in order to reach more students and get the project moving in its first year. The RG K Center founded the project with the desire to get graduate students at the center to put their training and learning into action, Frumkin said.

ALAMO: Texas reaches ninth straight bowl game From p a g e l A and showing the fans what thev came to see." The mood of the team was upbeat and animated when the announcement was made, according to both Ross and Blalock. "W e are excited, it's going to be fun," Ross said. Even,with the w ay things quickly downward spiraled for Texas at the end of the season since losing consecu­ tively to Kansas State and Texas A & M . Offensive coordinator Greg Davis doesn't think it w ill be hard to motivate the players. "The possibility of 10 wins in six straight years — no one else in the country is doing that," he said. "W hen you start talking about 'no one else in the country/ that's pretty good motivation." "W e put ourselves in this posi­ tion. It is up to us to make the most of it," added Blalock. There is also the fear of what kind of affect a third straight loss to end the season would do to next year's team. Blalock, one of the 23 seniors, didn't even want to mention another loss. "If you finish on such a bad streak as that would be, I don't want to say it would be insur­ mountable, but it would be a lot to overcome," said Blalock, an Outland trophy finalist. “ We are really spoiled around here. W e w in so much. Sometimes you don't know what to do with yourself." This w ill be Texas' ninth straight bowl game, all under M ack Brown. It matches the Longhorns longest streak since the Longhorns went to nine ■straight bowls from 1977-85. This year's bid is also Texas' 12th bowl in the last 13 years and its 46th bowl bid overall, which puts them in a tie for No. 2 on t lie N C A A all-time chart.

The type of wrapper used in the product depends on a customers' color choice, she said. For example, if a yellow bag is ordered, Lays Potato Chip bags might be used. Prices range from about $15 to more than $125. The women who make the merchandise belong to a non­ profit organization called Mitz, meaning "for you," in Nahuatl. A teacher at The Children's House of Palo Solo, a Montessori school in the lower-income Palo Solo neighborhood of Mexico City, established M itz several years ago, Alan Yancelson said. Every time the Yancelsons or other retailers place an order with Mitz, the women receive 100 percent of the money, he said. However, all of the women are related to a child attending the Montessori school, so they must give at least 20 percent of their earnings to the school to help invest in their children's educa­ tion, M elody Yancelson said. "The whole idea of the project is to get these kids an educa­ tion and get them off the streets, so they can become something instead of having them begging," Melody Yancelson said. Melody estimates Wrapperbags has ordered about $15,000 to $20,000 worth of products from M itz in the last 2.5 years. In addi­ tion to online sales, Wrapperbags supplies merchandise to retail­ ers in San Antonio and Dallas, Melody Yancelson said. W ith this money and income from other retailers, M itz has supplied the school with new computers and bathrooms, she said. On a recent trip to the school, Alan Yancelson said he was touched when he learned an alumna from the Montessori school was running in a local election, which she would not have been able to do without educational opportunities. Providing more high-paying job opportunities to people in Mexico may help lessen Mexican immigration to the United States, said Richard Flores, associate dean of the UTeach-Liberal Arts program.

Leasing in a portion of the area rich in oil and natural gas ended nearly two decades ago — while Bush's father was president — in the outcry after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989. But with natural gas prices higher, the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service proposed reopening up the North Aleutian Basin. That includes Bristol Bay and part of southeast­ ern Bering Sea. White House spokesman Scott Stanzel confirmed Saturday the president was considering taking that step. Environmentalists oppose drill­ ing there because of the potential for oil spills and harm to wildlife. They have speculated in recent days that Bush might allow such drilling before Democrats regain control of Congress in January. Doctors recommend changes to ads targeted at children CHICAGO — Inappropriate advertising contributes to many kids' ills, from obesity to anorexia, to drinking booze and having sex too soon, and Congress should crack down on it, the American Academy of Pediatrics says. The doctors'group issued a new policy statement in response to what it calls a rising tide of adver­ tising aimed at children. The policy appears in December's Pediatrics. "Young people view more than 40,000 ads per year on television alone and increasingly are being exposed to advertising on the Internet, in magazines, and in schools," the policy says. Advertising examples cited in the statement include TV com­ mercials for sugary breakfast cere­ als and high calorie snacks shown during children's programs and ads for Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs shown during televised sports games. Compiled from Associated Press reports T h e D a i l y T e x a n Bush won’t use report to pull out troops Defense Secretary D onald H. Rumsfeld gestures during a m edia briefing at the Pentagon in this Oct. 26 file photo. It was disclosed that Rumsfeld called for major changes in tactics tw o days before he resigned. Chris Greenberg | Associated Press to find a new way ahead in Iraq, found itself on the defensive from the second recent leak of an insid­ er's memo on Iraq in a week. The latest’ first reported in Sunday's New York Times, showed that Donald H. Rumsfeld called for a "major adjustment" in U.S. tactics on Nov. 6 — the day before an election that cost Rumsfeld his job as defense secretary. Hadley played down the memo as simply a laundry list of ideas rather than a call for a new course of action. He said that Bush — just before a pivotal election — was not por­ traying a different sense of the war to the public than his own defense secretary was giving him in private. Clinton takes steps toward presidential run By Beth Fouhy The Associated Press NEW YORK — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton met on Sunday with New York's Democratic gov­ ernor-elect to solicit his support for her likely White House bid, the latest indication she is stepping up plans to join a growing field of potential contenders for 2008. One rival, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, announced Sunday he was establishing an exploratory com­ mittee to raise money for a pos­ sible presidential run. He expects to decide over the Christmas holi­ days whether to seek his party’s nomination. A top aide to Clinton said he did not know when the former first lady would decide about pursuing the presidency or set up an explor­ atory committee. Clinton aides, however, have begun interviewing possible campaign staffers in recent weeks, Howard Wolfson said. Clinton, who long has topped national polls of Democratic hopefuls, spent two hours with Gov.-elect Eliot Spitzer at his Manhattan home. "We just had a great, wide-rang­ ing meeting on so many issues that affect the city, the state and the country," Clinton said as she left the meeting. Last week she contacted lead­ ing state lawmakers, including Democratic Reps. Charles Rangel and Nita Lowey, and the state party chairman, Denny Farrell, to assess her prospects and seek their support. Clinton's Senate colleague, Chuck Schumer, told reporters Sunday that Clinton had called him to arrange a meeting next week. But he was coy about the purpose of the get-together. "She wants to sit down and talk next week, which we're going to do. It could be about legislation. I have no idea what it's about, and until we sit down and talk, that's all I'm going to say about it," said Schumer. He added, "I think she'd make a very good president, but let's wait and see. Everyone's sort of jumping the gun." Wolfson told The Associated Press that Clinton "is reaching out to her colleagues in the New York delegation and asking for their advice and counsel and their sup­ port if she decides to make a run." Clinton easily won re-election last month to a second term in the Senate. Wolfson noted that Clinton long has said she would begin actively considering a presidential bid after that election. "That pro­ cess has begun," Wolfson said. lovvaGov.Tom Vilsackannounced his bid for the Democratic nod last week; Bayh is taking the initial steps. Study group report comes with release o f Rumsfeld memo calling fo r change By Ben Feller The Associated Press WASHINGTON — While President Bush acknowledges the need for major changes in Iraq, he will not use this week's Iraq Study Group report as political cover for bringing troops home, his national security adviser said Sunday. "We have not failed in Iraq," Stephen Hadley said as he made the talk show rounds. "We will fail in Iraq if we pull out our troops before we're in a position to help the Iraqis succeed." But he added: "The president understands that we need to have a way forward in Iraq that is more successful." The White House readied for an important week in the debate over Iraq: Bush planned a meet­ ing Monday with Abdul-Aziz al- Hakim, the Shiite leader of the largest bloc in Iraq's parliament, and awaited the recommenda­ tions Wednesday from the bipar­ tisan commission. Yet his administration, hoping www.dailytexanonline.com WORLD BRIEFLY Venezuelan president wins another term in office CARACAS, Venezuela— President Hugo Chavez, an out­ spoken opponent of the United States who has used Venezuela's oil wealth to give handouts to the poor, won re-election to another six-year term by a wide margin on Sunday, official results showed. With 78 percent of voting sta­ tions reporting, Chavez had 61 percent to 38 percent for chal­ lenger Manuel Rosales, saidTibisay Lucena, head of the country's elec­ tions council. Chavez had nearly 6 million votes versus 3.7 million for Rosales, according to the partial tally. Turnout was 62 percent, accord­ ing to an official bulletin of results, making Chavez's lead insurmount­ able. Minutes after the results were announced, Chavez appeared on the balcony of the presidential pal­ ace singing the national anthem. Chavez had anticipated a crush­ ing victory over tough-talking political veteran Rosales, who has galvanized the opposition by promising to unseat a man he accuses of edging the country toward totalitarianism. U. S. soldiers raid, destroy buildings held by insurgents BAGHDAD, Iraq — American soldiers destroyed two buildings being used by insurgents in a town in Anbar province, killing six mili­ tants, two women and a toddler, the military said Sunday. It was the latest of several recent raids during which women or chil­ dren have been killed or wounded as U.S. forces attacked insurgents in residential areas. In some of the attacks, the U.S. command accused the militants of taking over build­ ings for use as safe houses and of using civilians as human shields. Elsewhere, the U.S. military said three American soldiers were killed Saturday by roadside bombs — two in the Anbar province. In Baghdad, the death toll from Saturday's triple car bombing at a food market in a predominantly Shiite area rose to 53 civilians dead and 121 wounded, said police Col. Nabil Abdul Kadir.

Market cost: Low with regard to competitive, peer institutions. Guaranteed to increase job prospects upon graduation. As we head into the final week of another semester in the con­ sumer age of education, where students expect their education prepackaged and academics expect students to buy what they're selling, we find discomfort in a headline from Friday's Texan, 'Mobile Campus may send info from Blackboard." Nowhere is the rise of consumerism on campus more appar- ent than in the five-year contract the University and Student Government signed with the private company Mobile Campus to deliver text message advertisements to students' cell phones. Now members of the University's Information Technology depart­ ment are considering using Mobile Campus as a way to share Blackboard class announcements. The University, by way of Student Government, receives 15 percent of the profits that Mobile Campus brings in, so UT has an incentive to get more students to sign up with the program to increase advertising revenue. But pushing classroom messages by means of Mobile Campus could make students feel obligated to M^n up for the program. Blackboard may not be the only way Mobile Campus is looking to sink its teeth into student enrollment. An optional program in the contract UT and Mobile Campus signed about a year ago involves using the service in coordination with the football ticket draw. Mobile Campus already has unprecedented access to UT facilities 1100 ACT > 2 4 GPA > 3.0 reply to: lnfoeeggdonorcenter.com Pizza Classics NOW HIRING Dnvers & Couponers $10-$ 15/ hr. pd. daily.
