Tne group, a non-partisan coalition that encourages civic participation among 18- to 30-year-olds, intends to hold mock debates, bring some of this year's local can­ didates to the University and hold a final voter registra­ tion day on Oct. 10. Students began last week by setting up registration booths on campus. Debates will include issues such as higher education, the Austin light-rail initiative and other "hot-button" issues, said Ian Davis, leader of the Texas Youth Vote 2000. He said students could have the most influence on .. the decision about lightrail. .. « Davis said because there are likely to be between 100,000 and 150,000 Travis County residents casting votes on the potential public rail system, UT students voting in high numbers could cause "the most swing on this issue during the 2000 election." Members will also set up a voting booth two weeks prior to the November elections to encourage students to vote early. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., a predominately African-American fraternity, is now manning a registra­ tion booth in the Beauford H. Jester Center. Angelo Smith, guide write chairman for the fraternity, said they will also take registration efforts to East Austin, where members hope to gain voter participation among residents from a lower socioeconomic group. Smith said minorities and poorer residents, like youth, a. ____...^11 are not as well represented as higher-earning citizens, 'jc kir_oamina nfÍ7pnQ adding that some of those potential voters feel they can't make a difference during the election. "It's important for everyone to vote — regardless of race, gender or anything," said Smith, an ethnic studies senior. "If we don't vote, and something we don't like happens, we can't complain." Although these organizations were uncertain as to how many students they have registered so far, Smith said he has been impressed with the number of students who have expressed interest. Phillip Dupre, president of the University Democrats, said in addition to registering students on the West Mall, the organization will provide students with information regarding the candidates and issues as the campaign continues.

Kelly W e s t/D a ily Texan S ta ff City Council to decide today on use of $5.6”mi]lion surplus By Chris Coats Daily Texan Staff City officials said they expect this year's budget to be passed today after debate ends on what .to do with an extra $5.6 million in addition to the $1.8-billion budget. The additional money was added to the proposal after city budget officials reassessed an initial draft, which was pre­ sented to the Austin City Council in July. Councilman Danny Thomas said the additional money has been allocated tenta­ tively bqt that no binding decisions have yet beert ppade. "We went through all the points of the budget arid spread die $5.6 million around but nothing will be decided until Tuesday," Thoma&safcL Community and housing projects migftt receive Oppflp of the money, Thomas said. but did not offer specifics. The city has an extra $5.6 million to allot because statistics on revenae and taxes were only available as estimates when the budget was originally proposed in July, said Charles Curry, budget officer for the city. When the finalized numbers came in, offi­ cials saw that drey had underestimated by $5.6 million. Curry said the unallocated $5.6 million came from finalized revenue and tax totals from last year with taxes representing the single largest sum added to the budget at $L6 million. "We looked back at last year and just real­ than we ized we had more money thought," CuiTy said. The round] passed 28 changes to the gen­ eral dty fund on first reading Monday.

Dr. Laura’s TV debut protested By Jeffrey Hlpp Daily Texan Staff About 15 m em bers of the of the A ustin Stop Dr. Laura Committee said M onday at a protest Laura that Dr. Schlessinger's new nationally televised program should be taken off the air because they feel her "anti-gay sentiments" are threatening. In the past, Dr. Laura has used her nationally broadcast radio program to voice claims such as gays and lesbians are "biological errors." David Morrison, a teacher from the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired in,A ustin and member of the local group, said even as a het­ erosexual, he finds the conser­ vative radio host's message dangerous to the public. The Austin group is a chapter of a national organization against Dr. Laura. "You can't go around say­ ing people are a mistake and that they don't have the right to exist," he said. "It's fascist and it's hateful." The protest took place the same day Dr. Laura's televi­ sion show first aired, which “ It is corporate-sponsored hate speech. She thinks her speech is not damaging and that is absolutely not true.” — Amanda Ryan, member of the Austin Stop Dr. Laura Committee A w as at 3 p.m. on Austin CBS affiliate KF.YT. larger protest was held outside of the KEYE studio on Aug. 26 — one of 24 Dr. Laura protests across the country. KEYE General M anager Ross Newsome was unavail­ able for comment Monday. N ow that her radio pro­ gram has expanded to televi­ sion, to spread her message even fur­ ther, members said. it will allow her "It is corporate-sponsored hate speech," said A m anda Ryan, a member of the group and a UT social w ork gradu ­ ate. "She thinks her speech is not dam aging an d is absolutely not true." that While Ryan said she recog­ nized that Dr. Laura has the right to freedom of speech, she said she hopes that advertisers on the show will come to real­ ize the possible consequences of funding her anti-gay mes­ sage. "W e're not trying to silence her in any way, but w e're let­ ting corporations, T.V. shows and advertisers know that we w on't be a part of those busi­ nesses," she said. While the group's ultimate goal is to get the television program off the air, Ryan said KEYE needs to at least change the prog ram 's prom inent 3 p.m. time slot. "[Three o'clock] in the after­ noon ... is w hen every gay teen-ager coming home w ho is dealing w ith their ow n issues has to see that show and feel more internalized self-hatred," she said. Blair Mundy, a journalism senior, said though this was the first time he had heard of Dr. Laura's views on gays, he said he feels that the group's concerns were valid. "I think other people's opinions are fine, but when you thrust them on other peo­ ple, especially kids, the more they listen to something... the more they believe it," he said. M undy added that he was willing to call the station to ask them to remove the show from the airwaves. But Ray Daugherty, a raido- television-film senior, said he doesn't consider Dr. Laura's stance to be a message of hate. "In the scientific com m uni­ ty, the vote is still o u t on w hether or not hom osexuality is biological or not," he said. "I support their right to boycott [the show], but not their mes­ sage.

Patricia Ohlendorf, vice president for administration and legal affairs, said the University's decision to not re-clas- sify his job to Safety Specialist II was warranted.

Lloyd Doggett D-Austin, to cam­ pus to speak about the importance of the youth vote and some campaign issues, such as health insurance and higher education, said Dupre, a Plan II junior. Doggett, who is running unopposed for the 2000 election, has participated in past UT voter rallies, UT voter registra­ tion drives and pre-election block walk­ ing in tire Austin community. Doggett said in a prepared statement Monday that the youth vote is extreme­ ly important because of its size and ability to make an impact. "For our country to continue pros­ pering and m oving forward, w e need more young voters to realize that they can make a real difference in the politi­ cal process," Doggett said. Housing projects may receive surplus funds BUDGET, from 1 resolution m ust pass through three readings by the council to be officially accepted. G ty Council began talks Monday on the $1.8-billion budget, and though dis­ cussion has been scheduled through Wednesday, city officials said Monday that they expect a decision to be reached Tuesday. The budget includes a $20.3-million increase for the general dty fund, which includes public safety departm ents such as the fire and police departments and m ost other departm ents that receive tax revenues. It also includes departments that do not receive tax rev­ enue such as public libraries and parks. The additional money for the gener­ al d ty fund only accounts for a 5-per- cent raise in their total budget, from $415.4 million to $435.7 million.

After all, his brother Jeb was governor. Now, two months before Election Day. he's fight­ ing for the state's 25 electoral votes. "I'm going to cam Florida," Bush declared here Monday, knowing he probably can't wan the presidency without the state. Later, he reminded senior citizens that Jeb lost his first governor's race in 1994 after Democrats suggested he would undermine Social Security "Unless something has dramatically changed, the same old scare tactics politics w ill com*' into Florida," Bush said. "They 11 be saving, When George W. becomes president, he'll take away your Social Security check. Don't believe them His remarks suggested that, despite his public bravado, Bush is worried about Democrat Al Gore's surge in Florida. Independent political analysts and many Republicans say the governor took the state for granted for too long, squander­ ing an opportunity to mn Gore out of the state "That's a possibility," said former Republican Gov. Bob Martinez when asked whether Bush failed to take the state seriously enough. "1 think wre w’ere slow getting ads up on TV, but now w'ith the governor paying a visit this week we're in campaign mode." Former GOP chairman Tom Slade said Bush allowed Gore to get the upper hand on issues important to senior citizens, such as Social Security and prescription dmg coverage Bush held an edge over Gore in Florida before the nominating conventions in August. New pri­ vate polls conducted by both parties show the race even or the vice presid nt ahead now, just as Gore has tightened the race nationally. Sharpening his rhetoric Monday, Bush said the vice president's prescription dmg plan would force seniors into "government 1 INK V give them one chance to enter the plan at age M and cost cer­ tain seniors more money than they currently pay. Associated Press Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Al Gore does a high-five with talk show host Oprah Winfrey during the taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show on Monday morning. lapsed into portions of his stump speech. When he tried to w'ork in the Federal Trade Commission report about entertainment vio­ lence, talking about "inappropriate albums" marketed to children, Winfrey stopped him cold. "They're called CDs now," she said "They've been CDs for a long time." But she was also a willing straight w'oman, too. Is he tired erf critics calling him stiff? she asked. Gore chuckled and replied, 'They're going to say something so compared to the alternatives...." Asked why she should vote tor him, the 8- vear vice president said, "I know something about the job of president." She was still digging for revealing com­ ments from the famously cautious candidate after the live broadcast. Winfrey, admitting she once swiped a bag of potato chips, asked Gore if he'd ever stolen anything. He hesitated, "I don't think so," then ges­ tured as if submitting to lie-detector wires. "Hook me up." Bleak future for third parties - federal money unlikely By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Infighting has split the Reform Party, the Green Party's Ralph Nader has slid in the polls, and Libertarian candidate Harry Browne often elicits a "Harry who?" The future of third-party politics in America appears bleak. "I doubt very seriously that any third party in 2004 will be qualified for any fed­ eral election funtfs, based upon this year's race," said David Gillespie, a political sci­ ence professor at Presbyterian College. "Short of having another Ross Perot, with his multimilllions, I don't see much of an immediate future in terms of the third- party' horizon." The splintered Reform Party is the only minor political party eligible to receive fed­ eral funding this year for its presidential candidate. The Federal Election Commission meets Tuesday to decide whether $12.6 million earmarked for the party's nominee should go to Pat Buchanan or John Hagelin. Government auditors said last w'eek that only Buchanan has met eligibility' require­ ments. But there may well be no money to fight for in 2(X)4. A candidate needs at least 5 percent of the general election vote to qual­ ify his partv for funding in the following presidential election, and Buchanan has mustered only 1 or 2 percent in recent polls. In California, his ratings w'ere so low’ "we actually lumped his support together with all other third party candidates," said Mark DiCamilló, director of the state's Field Poll. Hagelin, meanwhile, rarely gets mentioned in opinion polls. FASHION FAIR' 7-PIECE GIFT Y o u rs w it h a n y 1 6 .0 0 o r m o re F a s h io n Fair p u rc h a s e e x c lu s iv e ly a t D illa rd 's ! Gore talks to Oprah, women everywhere By The Associated Press A CHICAGO — Some information Oprah teased from A1 Gore: He fancies Chinese food, ruby-red stiletto boots and, in a presidential race that could be decided by women, what­ ever else the talk show diva and her 22 mil­ lion devotees want. His favorite cereal? "Oprah," the Democratic presidential nominee replied. "Oh, I thought you meant serialized TV show." Of breakfast cereal, which he confessed he doesn't eat much, he said his favorite is Wheaties. Gore's star turn Monday on Oprah Winfrey's season premiere opened a week in which he will be courting parents — and try­ ing to sustain his recent surge in polls among women — with a focus on education policy. From here, he traveled to a Belleville, 111., elementary school for a town meeting. In Winfrey's easy chair; Gore said he would use tax policy and new spending programs to help stressed-out working parents spend more time with their children. He replied to a question about his greatest fear by saying, "I really don't have a lot of fears. But if I had to single one out it would be forgetting the most important things in life — family and faith." Winfrey, who has Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush lined up for next Tuesday, frequently interrupted as Gore _W&N B r ie f s Bill raising retirement contribu­ tion limits gains momentum WASHINGTON — After two years of Republicans passing tax cuts and President Clinton vetoing them, the one tax measure with broad appeal to middle-class voters that could still become law this year would raise contribution limits for IRA and 401 (k) retirement plans. Earlier this summer, the House passed its ver­ sion of the legislation with 401 votes in favor. Last week, the Senate Finance Committee unanimous­ ly approved a somewhat different package. Last year, Clinton vetoed a 10-year, $792-billion GOP tax cut — it included similar retirement pro­ visions but was vetoed for other reasons — and has vetoed bills this year that would have elimi­ nated inheritance taxes and reduced the tax mar­ riage penalty on two-income couples. The Clinton administration has expressed con­ cern that the retirement package wouldn't do enough to help lower-income people save, but those reservations may not withstand an election- year Congress eager to pass the measure by veto- proof majorities. Agencies reported problems with Firestone tires in 1996 PHOENIX — While Bridgestone/Firestone says serious safety concerns arose only this year, the tiremaker as far back as 19% took complaints of tread separations and blowouts in Arizona seri­ ously enough to send a half-dozen engineers on a special inspection mission and to help pay for replacing a wrecked vehicle. According to government officials interviewed by The Associated Press and state records exam­ ined by AP, the complaints from state agencies that relied heavily on light trucks, such as the Game and Fish Department, were numerous and specific in pointing out tread separation problems and blowouts. Setting a pattern for its response over the next four years, the tiremaker said it could find no spe­ cific defect responsible for the tire failures and sug­ gested drivers were underinflating their tires, overloading their vehicles or otherwise misusing the tires. Some agencies rejected the explanation and started relying on other brands years before Bridgestone/Firestone would announce its recall of 6.5 million tires in August. C om plied from Associated Press reports Freed hostages accuse rebels of rape By The Associated Press TRIPOLI, Libya — A plane carrying four former hostages freed by Muslim rebels in the Philippines arrived Monday in Tripoli, and one of them said their cap­ tors raped some of the female hostages. Risto Vahanen, a Finn who was among 21 captives held for as many as 140 days in the Philippine jungle, told Finnish MTV3 in an interview' aired Monday that they were powerless to help the women. "Some, a few, women there were treated in an inappropriate manner," Vahanen said, and answered "yes" when asked if they had been raped. He said the raped women did not want their names disclosed but wanted the incidents to be made public. "They were of the opinion that it had to be made public, without names, so that the w'orld would know what Robot had done," Vahanen said, referring to febel leader Ghalib "Robot" Andang. "It was quite surprising because oth­ erwise we were treated in a proper w'ay," he said in the interview conduct­ ed before leaving the Philippines. The four former hostages' arrival in Tripoli, which followed their release Saturday, came amid fears that fat Libyan payoffs would only encourage more hostage taking.

They are not necessarily those of the University administra­ tion, the BoaRl of Regents oi t!« Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees VIEWPOINT Soft Money, Hard Times Maybe Texas politics will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern age, but someone should strap on a helmet and grab hold, because it's time to put up or shut up, and there's a growing dissatisfaction for the backward elec­ toral system in this state. A 1999 poll conducted by Opinion Analysts indicated that nearly 85 percent of Texans think campaign contributions allow a wealthy few to exert disproportionate influence on the outcome of elections and on the direction of Texas politics in general. Maybe there's something to the claim that Texas is run by an oligarchy of "good ol' boys," a rich caste of ranchers and oilmen who buy political power in bulk every election cycle. Texas campaign finance law is fraught with antiquated and problematic features that make it easy for this state to be con­ trolled by the almighty dollar. The glaring lack of campaign contribution limits in all but a few judicial elections is the most serious of these loopholes. In the 1998 election cycle alone, half of the $120 million in overall campaign contributions came from 629 donors, and the top 100 of those gave $30 million, a full 25 percent of the contributions. Would politicians be willing to grant post-elec­ tion favors to these political high-rollers? Of course they would — nothing in this life is free. Exacerbating the dilemma are Texas' nearly non-existent contribution disclosure regulations. Behind the times, as usual, Texas does not require that candidates list their contrib­ u t o r s ' employer and occupation, information that is critical to figuring out what economic interests are buying (or at least renting) state government offices. In addition, there's no requirement that candidates report contributions made during the l a s t 10 days of an election — so if Big Oil times it just right, no one ever needs to know who's being paid to pigeonhole pollution regulations or dumping restrictions. Both Lt. Gov. Rick Perry and Comptroller Carol Keaton Rylander have received million-dollar contributions less than 10 days before an election. Texas is also one of only 10 states that exempt out ot state Political Action Committees (PACs) from having to report their contributions. So, the interests of those national compa­ nies who like to dump toxic waste off the Gulf Coast are shielded from public scrutiny. Even though the totality of Texas campaign laws could be written on the inside cover of a match book, there's a surpris­ ing deficit in enforcement of the few existing regulations. The Texas Ethics Commission, formed in 1992 to oversee enforce­ ment of campaign laws, has, in its short history, proven to be absolutely ineffective. EEC has never conducted a random audit on any candidate, has never subpoenaed a single witness or piece of evidence and has never held a formal enforcement hearing. Perhaps this laziness has something to do with the commission members being politically appointed by the same candidates they would have to investigate. There is, of course, the old, often repeated argument that contributions should not be limited, because they constitute a form of free speech. The Supreme Court, however, disagreed when it upheld the constitutionality of contribution caps this year in Shrink v. Nixon. Money is not speech — money is power, and in Texas, it is political power. Fred 1 ewis, an Austin attorney and executive director of the campaign finance reform advocacy group Campaigns for People, is coordinating his group with several others, includ­ ing the Sierra Club and Common Cause, to get the word out that something stinks in the Lone Star State. The "M illion Mouse March" is the group's effort to build a statewide con­ stituency supporting campaign finance reform in Texas. Anyone concerned about living in a state whose policies are slave to the monied elite can log on to Tmvw.hadenough.net and join the march. The program is slated to run right up until election day 2000. D aily Texan MATT 1 I 1 / % £ J i I I a < >r the new millennium.

Opinion Fraternities move in right direction Male Greeks follow sororities in adopting form al rush system By Wendy Skfflem Daily Texan Columnist It is dear that some serious problems exist within the Greek system at the University, espedally among fraternities. Not only do Greeks have a bad reputa­ tion for binge drinking dressing alike and driving SUVs, but many fraternities have recently been put on probation for violating UT, and sometimes national, policies. There's an urgent need to solve the complex problems plaguing fraternities on this campus. However, there are many issues that are so deeply embed­ ded both in the fraternity experience and the college experience as a whole (hint: binge drinking isn't a problem exdusive to the Greek system), that they will take a great deal of time to eradicate or con­ trol completely. Bearing this in mind, members of the administration, along with the Intrafratemity Council (IFC), chapter presidents and some alumni eager to see their chapters survive and thrive, dedded to tackle a problem this year that can be addressed more quickly and easily than other, more difficult issues. Anyone who's strolled through West Campus prior to the start of fall semester is probably familiar with the scene of hundreds of young women walking around in the heat of the day wearing expensive clothing and uncomfortable shoes. This is part of the process of recruitment for sororities, and it's a very structured and professional process. So why haven't there been throngs of men walking around in their Sunday best, dialing the same misery as the women? Because fraternities haven't had a for­ mal process of recruitment until this year. In the past the process of recruit­ ment took place primarily during sum­ mer. Guys interested in joining a frater­ nity would go to the house of their choice for parties or attend parties in their hometown thrown by that chapter. Oftentimes, the highlight of the process occurred when the fraternity deemed a guy worthy of entering their ranks and poured beer all over him as excited fra­ ternity members danced wildly around him. This strange ritual was known as "giving a bid." In essence, a male could walk into a house, talk to a few guys over a couple of beers, and walk out a few hours later drenched and reeking of alcohol as a newly crowned fraternity brother. In hopes of changing those standards, a formal rush process was introduced this year. Men wanting to participate in recruitment were expected to visit at least six houses during three days of open houses, obtaining a stamp at each house. With these stamps as proof, a man was then eligible to receive a formal bid horn a house to become a new mem­ ber. All rush events are supposed to be dry events, and the administration demanded that houses not hold parties on the same days as summer orientation sessions. While the fraternity system should certainly be applauded for working as a unit to formalize the rush process, the results at this point are a bit inconclusive as to whether it will cause a major change in tíre way fraternities select new members. In theory, the process is a huge improvement from the informal system. According to IFC president Chris Harlan, it has the potential to increase fraternity enrollment, and provide equal opportunities for all males (especially those who don't already have friends in chapters) to check out several fraternities and increase their choices. Also, current members in houses have chances to meet more men than they might have in the old system. In practice, however, formal rush is still very reminiscent of the old system. Houses still gave bids over the summer, only they were known as informal bids, making the formal rush process a joke to those that had already secured their bids in June or July. In addition, all rush events were supposed to be dry. Many fraternities got around this rule by hold­ ing bar tabs on 6th Street, or simply pro­ viding alcohol at functions not held at their house. All houses were required to provide IFC with a list of their activities for the week, but that didn't stop some from blatantly ignoring the rules. What will the effects of these actions be? That remains to be seen. Fraternities that were reported for providing alcohol during the week will be reviewed by the IFC Judicial Board, which will hopefully set a standard of punishment severe enough to discourage the use of alcohol at future rush events. In addition, IFC has recog­ nized some of the problems that occurred this year; and will be working to correct those problems in the future. The fact that the fraternity system is w illin g to embark on a new rush pro­ gram is a mark in its favor. As a commu­ nity that is often resistant to change because of deeply embedded traditions, recent events have forced many involved with the Greek system to call for the kinds of reforms necessary to help it survive in a politically correct world. While the changes seem to come about slower than molasses, the hope is that eventually the formal fraternity rush process will be as ingrained in the collec­ tive conscience of the Greek system as Kate Spade bags and gray Forerunners.

THE FIRING LINE Regulate tuition, please In response to Prof. Letter's letter which stated that "the main beneficiar­ ies of low tuition are students from middle-class and wealthy back­ grounds": Huh? I should think the main beneficiaries would be students from small-income families who have to work full-time jobs to pay for college themselves. The only results I can see for raising tuition is a furthering in the gap of the percentage of lower-income students who attend college and the percentage of lower-income families in the state. Perhaps the staff would get much needed raises and benefits if tuition were raised. Perhaps there would be more funds available for scholarships for lower-income students, which seems to be the argument Prof. Letter presented. I don't think we could have both though. In order to provide enough funds for both, you would have to raise tuition by an exorbitant amount and, even then, the gap between scholarships received and actual tuition might be so great that stu­ dents would have to come up with more out of pocket than before. Texas is not a rich state. We have a high percentage of low-income families and the University is a state university. It needs to be dedicated to representing the state of Texas as a whole, not just those "who could afford more tuition." While staff and faculty are indeed vital to the system, please don't forget that the students are too. Nina Putnam Pre-broadcast Journalism Faulkner’s checkmate It seems that there are some discrep­ ancies with regard to how the UT administration views some of the issues surrounding the "Orange Flu" sickout. First, state law prevents the University from recognizing the Staff Association as a "labor organization/bargaining agent for a group of public employees." Second, the administration believes that the sickout is "an organized work stoppage." ; If, on the one hand, the sickout is really an "organized" work stoppage, then the Staff Association must be a rec­ ognized labor organization, and the administration has broken the law by recognizing it! On the other hand, if the Staff Association is not a recognized labor organization, then the "sickout" cannot be an "organized" work stop­ page! I hope that when President Faulkner plays chess he uses different advisors. A high school debate team could have given him better counsel! Frank Simon UT staff No love for the sick In one of my classes, the instructor showed support for the "sickout" by having class at an off-campus location. After class, I asked her about the atten­ dance policy for the last two "out of classroom" days. I expected her to say that attendance was optional, but to my surprise, she stated she had being tak­ ing role, therefore making attendance mandatory. That is not right! By mak­ ing attendance mandatory, that wrong­ ful action forces me, as a UT student to be part of the "sickout" movement against my wishes. It offends me that an instructor is allowed to take away my right to decide for myself. The instructor never gave me a choice about the alternate location, and never clearly explained before hand the reasons for her protest. The instructor's support of the sickout is perfectly fine, and I am quite sure the protesters have their reasons, but don't forre me to join the "movement" by requiring atten­ dance at an off-campus class and fur­ ther the injustice by counting my absence against me if I do not want to jump on the protesting bandwagon. A UT class should be held at a University of Texas location! Most likely, I would have been in support of the "sickout" if I was given a choice, but now I could really care less about the issue. The issue does not concern me — I am here at this great university to receive a degree, not to complain about making more money for emptying trash! Francis Leung Economics junior Naughty vandals It saddens me to see the vandalism done to 41 UT buildings [last week]. At a time when we want to provide a bet­ ter working environment and show support to our custodial staff, someone or a group of people decided to tamper with several building locks. What were they trying to accomplish? Business went on as usual except for Physical Plant employees. Increasing their work load (they'll be the ones replacing all those locks) is not something one should be proud of at a time like this. Egidio Leltao Assistant to the dean School of Social Work 4 Idiots for criminals Friday morning on campus, I learned that some unknown person or persons had superglued the locks on several campus buildings during the course of the night. The following commentary is directed solely to the party responsible for this action: This was NOT your brightest idea, for several reasons. One, you made more work for people whose working lives are painful enough as it is: namely, the custodians. People were able to get into the 41 affected buildings after all, and thus you had no impact on pre­ venting classes from being held any­ way. Two, you committed a crime — vandalism. Don't laugh, it's not a joke. Three, you just made it ridiculously easy for the administration to lump the rest of us who have peacefully and legally protested the appalling situa­ tions for staff into the same group as yourselves. Personally speaking, I resent this, and I suspect that other like- minded people on campus are just as annoyed with you as I am. You behaved like Class-A nimrods, and you didn't help this cause one stinkin' bit. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Blanton Museum of Art this December, forcing the exhibit into the Art Building until the completion of a new facility in 2004. The art will be relocated from the first two floors of the HRC, where the Blanton Museum has been locat­ ed since 1972. It will require months of effort begin­ ning this December and running through August 2001. During that time, the Blanton Museum will contin­ ue displaying temporary exhibitions in the Art Building's gallery while foe permanent exhibits are taken from foe HRC and stored. The permanent exhibit will be installed in the Art Building gallery over foe summer. The HRC's need for more collection space and modernization of its current facilities prompted foe University to move the Blanton Museum's art, said Sally Leach, associate director of foe HRC. Three galleries and a theater will be added to foe first floor of the HRC and foe second floor will receive a new reading room that will make research materials more accessible. The roughly $8 million renovation project was paid for by private donors and is expected to require 18 months for construction, Leach said. Although foe Blanton Museum will have half as much space in foe Art Building gallery as it had in foe HRC, foe Art Building provides an opportunity for curators who design exhibitions to investigate new ways to present the art. Nicole Griffin, public affairs officer for foe Blanton Museum, said foe style in which foe art is exhibited, such as how it is displayed in relation to other art­ work, contributes to how foe works are interpreted. 'Tw o of our main exhibition areas are American Contemporary Art and 20th Century Latin American Art," Griffin said. "Those two curators are going to be experimenting so you can see foe flow of ideas from South and Central America to North America." Encouraging new relationships between foe art of distinct periods and regions will help students under­ stand foe cultural contexts of the works, Gnffin said. "In particular, with us being an educational univer­ sity, the curators are working to present the art in a dif­ ferent way, as opposed to looking at it chronological­ ly," Griffin said. "By comparing artists that might not usually be seen side-by-side gives foe student a chance to look at it in a different way." Annette Carlozzi, curator of American and contem­ porary art for foe Blanton Museum, compared foe new space in foe Art Building gallery to a lab where curators can experiment with ways to install works in foe new museum. "We're looking forward to foe opportunity to re-present foe collections in a new space in entirely different arrangements," Carlozzi said. "We feel that exploring different topics and issues within foe collec­ tion over foe next couple of years will present foe works of art in an entirely new light." The new 1 5 0,0 0 0 -square-foot facility for foe Blanton Museum, scheduled for completion in 2004, is to be located on the comer of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Speedway. The architecture firm in charge of its design will be announced in October. “Big” Tommy Sirotnak demonstrates power he says Jesus Christ instills in him by charg­ ing through a piece of plywood Monday at the UT Tower during a Ministry demonstration.

State& L ocal T he Daily T exan September 12, 2000 MMMMM ... FINGERS Reaction mixed to Texas’ gun-carrying By Ryan D. Pittman Daily Texan £taff National and local handgun groups had differing views about a recent agreement allowing Tennessee and Florida residents who have licenses to carry concealed hand­ guns to now legally carry them in Texas and vice versa. The reciprocal agreements, which are the fifth and sixth gun agreements Texas has reached with other states, were signed two weeks ago by Col. Thomas A. Davis, Jr., director of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The DPS announced the agreement last week. "This agreement will allow licensed Texans to travel freely in the states of Tennessee and Florida, while enjoying the same or similar privileges their licenses give them at home," Davis said in a state­ ment released Thursday. spokeswoman Nancy Hwa, for Handgun Control, Inc., a national organiza­ tion advocating stronger gun control said the new agreement could mean disaster for Texas. "These types of agreements are very mis­ leading. What ends up happening is that die state with the least restrictive laws sets the standards for the other states," Hwa said. "In tlris case, Honda Iras very liberal requirements for concealed handguns. That means Floridians visiting Texas will have lower restrictions than licensed Texans — this is a bad agreement." The agreement was made possible by changes to the state's concealed handgun law in 1997, and allows licensed Texans to carry concealed handguns in Arizona, Arkansas, Horida Louisiana, Oklahoma and Tennessee. More agreements may be on the way. "As we have more states that meet the same requirements that Texas has met for handgun licenses, I'm sure we'll see more agreements like this," said Tela Mange, spokeswoman for the Texas DPS. Paul Velte, founder of Peaceable Texans for Firearms Rights, said he disagrees that the agreement is a bad idea adding that concealed handguns are a deterrent to crime — especially murder, robbery and assault. "Ultimately, all this agreement does is let law-abiding citizens cany' concealed hand­ guns in states with similar license require­ ments," Velte said. "The bad guys are already going to have weapons — this is just an equalizer." Approximately 214,000 people in Texas have concealed handgun permits com­ pared to about 248,000 in Florida anil about 93,000 in Tennessee. Marilyn Thompson, assistant director of the Florida Department of Licenses, said there is little difference between the three states' concealed handgun requirements. "The agreement would not have been signed if these states didn't have similar permit requirements," Thompson said. "The differences are so small that they weren't an issue.” Although Texas and Tennessee require permit applicants to take state-regulated gun safety courses, Florida only requires applicants to show proof that they7ve taken such a course from an outside organization. Usually, Florida applicants use hunters safety courses to meet the requirements, Thompson said. Federal law requires back­ ground checks in all states. Hwa said concealed handguns — no matter what the application process con­ sists of — are dangerous and often deadly forms of self-defense. "Gun advocates like to say that only law- abiding citizens will carry concealed hand­ guns," Hwa said. "But sometimes they don't act law-abiding citizens. Background checks and safety courses can't screen out people who are drunk, have bad tempers or make poor decisions. like Lisa D uncan and her son Dub Albrecht, 3, ch eck out “B o gart" the bobcat at the Austin Nature and Scien ce Center M onday m orning.

Kelly Weet/Dally Texan Staff Drifter who confessed to killing spree faces jury By The Associated Press DEL RIO — A 13-year-old Texas girl attacked in bed, her throat slashed with a 10-inch kitchen knife. A 13-year-old Kentucky girl raped and left dead by railroad tracks. An Illinois woman beat­ en with a baseball bat while giving birth. Tommy Lynn Sells has confessed to those slayings and more. Now, for the first time, the 36-year-old drifter and former carnival worker will face a jury that could send him to death row. Opening statements in the capital murder trial were scheduled for Tuesday. Sells is accused of slipping into an acquain­ tance's mobile home near Del Rio on Dec. 31 and slitting the throats of two girls. One, 13-year-old Kaylene Harris, died. But Krystal Surles, now 11, who had been sleeping above Kaylene on a bunk bed, survived and helped investigators draw a sketch that led to Sells' arrest two days later. She will be among the first witnesses to testify against him. Since his arrest, Sells has confessed to a total of 13 slayings in seven states, telling authorities that he used guns, knives, a bat, a shovel, an ice pick and even his bare hands. But at least one supposed victim has been found alive and well, and1 charges have been filed in only two cases over the past eight months. Authorities in Del Rio, 160 miles west of San Antonio, say they have a strong case against Sells: an eyewitness, videotaped and signed con­ fessions and the knife, retrieved from a field near Sells' trailer. DN A tests confirmed the blood on it was Kaylene's. Victor Garcia, Sells' court-appointed attorney, said if his client had been offered an opportuni­ ty to plead guilty to a lesser chaige of murder, he may nave accepted. But Garcia said he will fight the capital mur­ der charge. Sells is facing the more serious charge because he is accused of killing the girl while committing another felony — breaking into her house to rape her. He also is charged with attempted murder in connection with Krystal's injuries. If Sells is convicted of capital murder, he will be sentenced either to life in pnson or lethal injection. "The death sentence <^n only be given to those individuals that the jurors find are going to be a continuing threat to society, are going to be a danger in the future," Garcia said. 1 don t think Tommy will." He said that although Sells has not provided a reason for killing Kaylene, he believes his client is sane. After his confessions, Texas Rangers accom­ panied Sells to other states to meet with investi­ gators, but some leads ^ failed to pan out. An i Arkansas man apparent- I ly shot by Sells in 1982 I ....... ........... did not die as he had believed. In southern Idaho, Sells led investigators to a river bank where he said he buried a woman in 1988. But since then, a landslide has added 40 feet of soil. No body has been found. In Kentucky, however Sells has been charged in the May 1999 killing of 13-year-old Haley McHone, whose body was left by railroad tracks less than 150 feet from her Lexington home. Although he has not been charged in any other cases, Texas Ranger Sgt. John Allen expressed confidence in the validity of at least some of Sells' confessions, saying he provided details only the killer would know. Sells is considered "a strong suspect" in the murders of a 9-year-old San Antonio girl last year, a Tucson, Ariz., man in 1988 and a southern Illinois family of four in 1987, Allen said. In the last case, Ruby Elaine Dardeen and her 3-year-old son were beaten with a baseball bat, and the daughter Dardeen gave birth to during the attack also was beaten to death. Dardeen's husband, Russell Keith Dardeen, was found in a wheat field shot in the head with his penis cut off. Sells has offered little explanation but claimed to have been drinking or on drugs while killing Allen said. The St. Louis area native, who is believed to have no more than an eighth-grade education, told authorities he killed some people "simply because they're witnesses," Allen said, and oth­ ers "because they tried to rip him off on drugs "If somebody tries to steal his drugs, th iat seems to anger him," Allen said. look deeper at Johnson & Johnson Johnson & Johnson, the world's most broadly based human health care company, is visiting your campus.

Textile and Industrial employees By Russell Cobb Daily Texan Staff Amidst the sea of burnt orange on the first floor of the University Co-Op, there is a single baseball hat. There is nothing spectacular or unusual about its appearance: The cap is a uniform burnt orange with a sim­ ple, white "T" embroidered on the front. Its label reads, “One size fits all. Made in the Dominican Republic." Retail price: $19.99. What is unusual about this particular cap, though, is that it comes from a fully disclosed sweatshop in which the aver­ age worker receives 8 cents for every cap he or she makes. This cap, along with all other Nike Stretch hats available for retail in the. United States, comes from Yupoong B.J. and B., a Korean-owned subcontractor for Nike in Villa Altagracia, Dominican Republic. According to its records, the factory employs 2,050 workers — mostly teen-age girls and young women — and cranks out around 14.4 million caps a year. Inc. Yupoong makes all Nike headwear in the Dominican Republic in the two factories it operates there, according to Jinny Coughlin, spokeswoman for the Union of Needletrade, Textile and Industrial Employees. “If you're wearing a Nike hat made in the Dominican Republic, there's a 99 percent chance that it comes from B.J. and B.," Coughlin said. the Swoosh in Villa Behind Altagracia UNITE According to a published report in 1998 by UNITE, the B.J. and B. Factory in Villa Altragracia is a sweatshop. formed the from a merger International’ Ladies between Garment Workers Union and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union in 1995. It represents more than 250,000 workers in North America and targets clothing and department stores accused of manufacturing; clothing in sweat­ shops. It is active in backing politicians and bills that reinforce its cause. Between 1987 and 1998, UNITE and its previous founding organizations received $99,812,530 in “liquidated damages" from companies who had manufactured goods overseas. UNITE and other groups such as the United Students Against Sweatshops characterize sweatshops as places that do not pay employees a living wage, do not allow employees to organize them­ selves and attempt to hide their loca­ tions. ___ The UNITE report claims that Nike pays its employees in the Dominican Republic an average wage of 69 cents per hour, which is above the minimum wage but below a living wage. “Pay is one third of what the Dominican government says is suffi­ cient for a family," the UNITE report states. Nike Inc., however, disputes the def­ initions of sweatshops used by USAS and UNITE. “Definitions range from complex mathematical formulas to vague philo­ sophical notions," the Nike Web site states. Whatever the definition, Nike does claim to be improving conditions in its factories, and now invites students to tour its factory sites in Indonesia, where it was criticized last year for var­ ious labor abuses, including forcing workers to work overtime without pay and using child labor. Last summer, Nike, in conjunction with the company in charge of monitor­ ing its factories, Price Waterhouse Cooper, took 40 students from around the nation to tour an Indonesian factory. The fact that Nike hires another cor­ poration to do its monitoring is further evidence that the current method of oversight used by the company is not sufficient to ensure that workers are get­ ting a fair shake, Caughlin said. “They talk to 10 employees out of thousands and those that they talk to never have full confidence in talking to these said. “Management wall also set up the inter­ views two to three weeks in advance." Caughlin people," While the UNITE study claims that the factory's conditions are typical of sweatshops all over the world, the expose on the B.J. and B. plant in Villa Altagracia is unique in this regard: Independent monitors from organized labor were able to freely inspect factory conditions and official company docu­ ments — one of which states that men I JAN.

UT and Sweatshops: Toward Full Disclosure Last spring the University and Nike signed a $22-million deal that would equip all Longhorn,teams with Nike apparel as of July 1. Does this mean that Longhorns could be taking the field this fall fitted in apparel made in sweatshops? "We have been relying on the Fair Labor Association to send people to monitor working conditions," said Patricia Ohlendorf, vice president for administrative and legal affairs at the University. Ohlendorf added that a new committee would be formed to review the University's status in the FLA. The FLA was created specifically to address the issue of disclosure of facto­ ries and independent monitoring of working conditions. It came out of an initial 19% Presidential Commission on sweatshops, but has come under fire over the past year since it includes com­ pany representatives as well as inde­ pendent observers on its monitoring committees. Since the FLA's formation, two key labor organizations have withdrawn from the FLA as well as some major public universities, the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Caughlin said organized labor feels including betrayed not just by the FLA but by the current administration as well. "We thought the Clinton administration would be on our side, [when the Commission was formed] but power wasn't on our side," she said. “The powerful are not just the manufactur­ ers, but the retailers, too." Wal-Mart takes in around $150 bil­ lion in revenues each year as opposed to Nike's $10 billion, Caughlin said. She added that retailers put pressure on manufacturers to keep prices low. George H. Mitchell, president of the University Co-Op, said retailers do not make decisions about what apparel is licensed with the University logo. “UT decides, not the companies or the retalléis/' he said. "It is easy to make accusations, but we would need documented proof of abuses to act.' The University may have a financial stake in the issue as well. According to Patricia Ohlendorf, the University collects 7 percent on every licensed item sold by retailers whether this retailer is the University Co-Op or a mega-retailer such as Wal-Mart. The University does not have its own Code of Conduct, however; to ensure that apparel is not made under sweatshop conditions. Duke University in 1998 became the first American university to establish a code of conduct that mandates a "pref- erence for companie s that show leader­ ship in workplace p racnces" as well as "independent monii oringurrotection of the right to organize and public disclo­ sure." The first step in eliminating sweat­ shops is exposing t reir locations, said Eric Brakken, natio lal spokesman for United Students Agí inst Sweatshops. Brakken said mar ufacturers sud\as Nike go out of their vay to make it d> ficult to pinpoint fad ory locations. “Tht system is set up so t rat it becomes nearly impossible to trace where the apparel c aTnes from," Brakken said. “It becomes a chain n where no one want: to take responsibili­ ty-" While an increas­ ing number of uni­ versities are begin­ ning to reveal loca­ tions of the factories that produce apparel, exposing the con­ ditions of those faetones is still next to impossible due to the fact that companies often appoint their own monitors, Coughlin said. their “It's like having the criminals be the police," Coughlin said. “They simply won't agree to raise wages for work­ ers." Lucy Quintanllla/Dally Texan Staff Ohlendorf disagrees. "Having corporations in the organi­ zation is not a flaw," she said. “The goal is to improve working conditions and you have to have corporations on board to improve those conditions." Students and Sweatshops Brakken says that student pressure is the key to counteracting the power of corporations. “Student pressure is going to push administrations to stand up, but it's going to take a lot longer," Brakken said. He added that the FLA has made some conces- sions such as disclosing the locations of facto­ ries to universities that have asked for the infortnation. ^ While many University students have expressed con­ cerns over sweat­ shop conditions, as consumers some found it difficult to commit to action that might change those conditions. The University is among those that asked for disclosure and since Aug. 23, this information has been public record. The UT Factory Site Disclosure list can be consulted by appointment in the Red McCombs School of Business.

But for Longhorn All-Sports Package holders who want a shot at snaring tickets for the O ct 7 Texas- -Oklahoma game this year, wristbands are going to be distributed beginning at 9 a.m. this morning. Here’s how it works: Sports Package holders need to bring their UT ID down to the Bellmont Hall ticket office between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. today and Wednesday. Randomized wristbands will then be given to each student, although the wristband does guarantee tickets — It only secures a numbered position in line for the draw. not The actual draw will in Thursday occur Bellmont. If given the opportunity to draw ticket», students with a wristband and a Sports Package may obtain up to six tickets, with only one of those ticket. being a guest Tickets for Sports Package holders with a vaild ID are $35 each, and guest tickets are $45 each. So why are you just finding out about this now? In order to avoid students camping out at the ticket office, the UT ticket office did not announce the wristband process until late Monday. The Red River Classic is held at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, though a kickoff time has yet to be announced. The Daily Texan Sports Thursday, September 12, 2000 AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME Nebraska QB Crouch leads nation’s top team By Damien Pierce Daily Texan Staff Twelve months ago, the athlete who would eventually become the best plaver on the best team in the country was ready to quit. Eric Crouch, Nebraska's nimble start­ ing quarterback, had just been told to for­ get about playing under center for the option-oriented Cornhuskers. Instead, Nebraska head coach Frank Solich wanted the then-sophomore to switch to wideout because the skipper was bent on naming Bobby Newcombe his signal caller. But to Crouch, to be asked such a ques­ tion was a bit of a slap in the face. He had dreamed his entire life about running the Big Red Machine, and without the oppor­ tunity do that, Crouch figured he should pack his bags and go home. "I had always thought of myself as a quarterback, so when they asked me to switch, it was sort of like them telling me I wasn't good enough for the team, Crouch said. "1 tried receiver out for a few days, but when you are asked to do something like that by your coaches, it feels like they don't have any confidence in you at all, so you probably wouldn't be a good receiver either. I mean, if they didn't believe in me at quarterback, the position I felt I w aAiest at, why should I have confidence in mvself anywhere else? So I figured I might as weíl leave, because I wasn't going to be able help the team." But for one reason or another, Crouch never made it out the door. He had gotten as far as placing all of his clothes in a suit­ case, but he leave. just Something made Eric Crouch stay. couldn't "To this day I don't know what it was that made me stay," the quarterback said. "But whatever it is, I'm glad that it hap­ pened." So are Nebraska fans. Ever since taking over the starting quarterback reins for Newcombe, Crouch has emerged a s (one of college football's top players, and with all due respect to the Michael Vick's and Drew Brees' in the country, he very well could have the Heisman Trophy sitting on his bookshelf at the end of the season. That's how good this player who almost walked away from the game is. "H e's easily the best player in this con­ ference," Missouri defensive end lustin Smith said. "Obviously there are a lot of other talented players, but no one is as dangerous as him. He can make anything happen on the field." And most of the time he has a pigskin in his hands when he's doing it. Last season, C rouch compiled 889 yards and 16 touchdow ns on the ground, including a 62-yard run against Texas A&M's vaunted "W recking Crew" and a 59-yarder for a score against Alabama- Birmingham. Crouch also made things happen in the air a vear ago as he completed 51.9-per­ cent of his passes for 1,269 yards, seven touchdowns and four picks. "He needs to take care of the football a little better when he throw s it, but in our offense, he doesn't have to worry about that too much," Nebraska head coach Frank Solich said. "A ll he has to do is make big plays and he has done that, especially in the big gam es.’ In last year's Big 12 Championship game against Texas, the quarterback made somewhat of a mockery of the Horns' front seven, at least when it mat­ tered most. 1 le rushed for 72 yards in the game, but it was his 31-yard dash to the endzone on a fourth-and-one play that pretty much set the tone for the contest. Nebraska won handily 22-6 to win the conference crown. Then in the Fiesta Bowl, Crouch went back to work against Tennessee. He gar­ nered Fiesta Bowl M VP honors by rush­ ing for 64 yards, but it was his passing — surprise, the Volunteers in. He completed nine of 15 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown in what was an easy 31-14 victory. surprise — that did Not too shabby for a guy that was ready to turn his cleats in before the sea­ son started. "The bigger the game is, the more fun it is," Crouch said. "And hopefully, \Ve are going to play in some big ones this season." None of which could possibly be big­ ger than this season's Orange Bowl, the site of the national championship. Behind Crouch, the Huskers are cur­ rently the favorite to make their way to Miami with a No. 1 national ranking, and with talent up and down the depth chart, Nebraska certainly isn't a one-man show Sea CROUCH, Page 11 Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch led the No. 1 Cornhuskers to a 27-24 overtime victory at Notre Dame Saturday. Associated Press Huskers poised to contend for national tide By Damien Pierce Daily Texan Staff As soon as the grin appeared on his face, you knew Carlos Polk loved the question. Yet, for one reason or another, the Nebraska linebacker couldn't bring himself to say the "C " word. "It's definitely a possibility for us," Polk said ever so cautiously when asked about the prospects of a national championship for Nebraska. "But there are a lot of teams out there, and we have 12 games to play before any of that really matters. That's the truth, I promise." D on't listen to him. After dismantling Tennessee in the Fiesta Bowl and finishing the Season ranked No. 3 . with a 12-1 record in 1999, the defending Big 12 Champion Huskers appear poised for a run at the national title as the No. 1 team in the country this season. The biggest reason for the high expecta­ tions is that Nebraska (2-0) returns every starter on offense with the exception of their left guard. That's pretty scary, especially when con­ sidering the names of the guys that are returning. Possible Heisman candidate Eric Crouch leads the option-oriented attack at quarter­ back after rushing for 889 yards, throwing for 1,269 yards and being responsible for 23 touchdowns in some capacity. ."The only thing that concerns us about Eric . i ! i . i i // • J XU 1 - ~ is his size and shoulder," said Nebraska head coach Frank Solich, referring to Crouch's 205- pound frame, and shoulder that was injured most of last season. "The type of offense we run needs a quarterback that is about 235 pounds, because he has to be able to take some licks. But Eric has proven he-can handle it so I'm sure he'll be okay." Besides, if Crouch does get his bell rung every now and then, he can always pitch it to the bulldozers behind him to take a break. Dan Alexander, a bulky 245-pound I-back, will be Crouch's prime recipient this season after gaining 865 yards on the ground a year ago. He also averaged 6.5 yards a pop, and showed an ability to break away from the pack with an 80-yard dash to the end zone against Colorado last season. lacfr CPaCAn /vi P Correll Buckhalter, who has seen plenty of action for Nebraska in the last two years, will be A lexander's backup, and when the Huskers offense chooses to run a dive to the fullback, they'll have big, 250-pound Willie Miller to drop it off to. As if those names weren't enough to worry Big 12 defensive coordinators, the weapons also spread to the outside in the form of Matt Davison and Bobby Newcombe. Davison needs only 11 to become Nebraska's all-time leading receiver, and Newcombe, a wing back, has the versatility to create plays from virtually any spot on the field. receptions Sm HUSKERS, Pag* 11 THE BIG 12 COUNTDOWN No. 1 Nebraska Cornhuskers ■ Head Coach: Frank Solich ■ 1999 record: 12-1 ■ Key Players: QB Eric Crouch.

UT line hopes to be more solid in 2000 campaign By Damien Pierce Daily Texan Staff Antwan Kirk-H ughes isn't going to fabricate any promises. Sure, the Texas offensive guard would love to tell you that he and his teammates on the offensive line aren't going to surrender any sacks this sea­ son, and that games like they had a year ago against Kansas State and Arkansas are a thing of the past. But Kirk-Hughes simply can't make that kind of a guarantee. Life in' his thankless line of work just isn't that simple, contrary to popular belief. "You can 't say things that definitive in this game, especial­ ly as a lineman because anything can happen in trenches," Kirk- Hughes said of the possibility of Texas' quarterbacks not getting bombarded in a game all season. %mm O-UNE, Pag* U Antwan Klrk- Hutfi— : Offensive guard a key part of Texas' attempt to allow fewer sacks in 2000 season ‘G eneral’ K night still has influence at IU By The Associated Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The General's iron hand is still on the Indiana basketball team. At the urging of Bob Knight, junior guard Dane Fife decided Monday to leave the Hoosiers. He said he does not think there is any reason to stay, now that his coach has been fired. Assistant coach Mike Davis, Knight's top recruiter the past two seasons and the key link to the team for many players, also said his future in Bloomington rests with Knight. "Whatever coach tells me to do, whatever the players say, I'm going to do," Davis said Monday, walking out of Assembly Hall. Other players — many came to Indiana solely because of Knight — were also turning to their former coach for guidance. Junior forward Jarrad Odie said Knight made it clear to the team he's available anytime they want to talk. "He's going to be a friend to us now instead of a coach, Odle said, standing outside the building where banners mark Knight's three national championships. "He's being a friend to us and trying to get us to the best place we can be." What remains to be seen is whether the best place will be Indiana. a r u d n r ¿ ¿ u -■ ■« ■ ' IT & J M t . 1 - I j * 1 I t k w * * * * . ím t m m m t ■ t , f WÜKÉtL * 1 * w m Knight fired for wrong reasons If they're going to fire Bobby Knight fine.

Just don't tell me that grabbing a kid by the arm and commanding a little respect is so far out of line, let alone grounds for firing. Last spring, Knight faced accusations of choking a former player. That is a serious claim. Knight has thrown chairs on the basketball court during emotional tirades. Another serious claim. Knight has lambasted cheerleaders, fans, coaches, and officials. More serious claims. Knight has even allegedly kicked his own son dur­ ing a game. A bizarre, yet serious claim. But choking, chair-tossing, threatening and kicking your own kid cannot be compared to lecturing some­ one on manners — not by anyone's standards.

Jets 20, New England 19 Chrebet leads Jets to victory over Patriots, 20-19 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Skeptics kept telling the New York Jets they needed a No. 1 receiver to replace Keyshawn Johnson. They had one all along in Wayne Chrebet, who caught two touchdown passes in the final 6:25 Monday night as the Jets beat the New England Patriots 20-19. Moreover, John Abraham and Shaun Ellis, selected with first-round picks the Jets got for Johnson and as compensation for allow­ ing Bill Belichick to leave to coach the Patriots, combined on two sacks that ended New England's last shot. New England built up a 12-7 lead on four field goals by Adam Vinatieri and extended it to 19-7 on Drew Bledsoe's 4-yard TD pass to Eric Bjornson with just under 10 minutes left. That seemed to energize the Jets, who drove 85 yards in 10 plays to score on Testaverde's 2-yard I D pass to Chrebet. Fullback Richie Anderson had five catches for 78 yards on that drive. New York got the ball back with 2:28 left. On the first play, Testaverde hit Dedric Ward for 44 yards, then threw to Chrebet, who caught the ball at the 3 and dove into the end zone with 1:55 remaining. The 2-point conversion failed, but New England (0-2) went nowhere. Abraham and Ellis combined on one sack of Bledsoe, and Abraham got another on fourth down. The Jets moved the ball only once during the first half, going.74 yards on 12 plays on their first possession, scoring on Testaverde's 4-yard pass to Fred Baxter. Despite his three TD passes, Testaverde was just 16-of-37, although he did throw for 291 yards. Cowboys’ injury woes continue with linebacker Nguyen IRVING — Dallas Cowboys linebacker Dat Nguyen will miss at least two games with a sprained left knee. Cowboys coach Dave Campo said Monday that Nguyen will be out two to four weeks because of the injury he suffered in the second quarter of Sunday's 32-31 loss at Arizona. Barron Wortham will start at middle line­ backer in Monday night's game at Washington. Wortham, acquired by the Cowboys as a free agent in the offseason, was a starter last season for AFC champion Tennessee. Nguyen could be back in the lineup as early as Oct. 1 at Carolina. After that, the Cowboys have an open date before playing the New York Giants on Oct. 15. Strawberry arrested for hitting street sign, vehicle TAMPA, Fla. — Darryl Strawberry, the suspended New York Yankees outfielder who has battled cancer and drug abuse, was jailed Monday after hitting a street sign and then running into a vehicle stopped at a red light. Strawberry, who had cancer surgery last month, "blacked out" at the wheel from pre­ scription medication while driving to see a probation officer who has supervised him since a cocaine conviction in April 1999, said the outfielder's lawyer, Joseph Ficarrotta. "H e took some kind of medication and that apparently caused some reaction and made him pass out," said Ficarrotta. "Where in the sequence he blacked out I don't know." Strawberry, 38, was taken into custody at gunpoint by an off-duty officer who saw the collisions and was held in the Hillsborough County Jail without bail, pending a court hearing Tuesday. "He seemed very tired and very drained," Ficarrotta said after visiting Strawberry. "H e's recuperating from some very severe cancer surgery. He seemed very weak and very tired." The eight-time All-Star faces two misde­ meanor charges, driving while impaired and leaving the scene of an accident with dam­ age, plus two counts of probation violation, which normally would not let him go free on bond.

The university now faces the task of replacing one of college basket­ ball's great coaches, while keeping together a team many considered the most talented Hoosier squad in years. That squad gave IU athletic director Clarence Doninger an ultimatum Monday afternoon, saying that if he doesn't elevate Davis or assis­ tant coach John Treloar to interim head coach, the entire team will quit. "You've got some quality people and they are stunned by all of this," Doninger said earli­ er in the day. "I hey are hurt by all of this. There's no question they came to Indiana University to play for coach Bob Knight." Doninger made it clear that he wants Davis and Treloar to stay. When it comes to appoint­ ing an interim head coach, Doninger said the university was examining its options. As for Knight, Davis and Odle said they're sure the coach won't have trouble finding work. "He told us he's going to coach again," Odle said. "There's no doubt in my mind, he's one of the best coaches in the nation and for him to not move on to another school would be a shame. Isiah Thomas, the new Indiana Pacers coach, told Detroit radio station WDFN that he would welcome Knight as an assistant. "I would love for him to sit on the bench with me and more or less mentor me," Thomas said. "I don't think there's a basketball player in the world who wouldn't crave his insight. That's what, hopefully, he'll be able to give me." . Knight's son, assistant coach Pat Knight, said Monday that the experience has ruined Indiana University for him. "The university handled this poorly," he said. "I'm ashamed to say I went here. I'll never do anything again for this university.' Would he stay on as an assistant? "No," Knight said. "I'm going with my Dad. manners. I stand by him." As does a large portion of the student body. Across the campus Monday were remnants of the previous night's rallying, where thousands of students displayed pro-Kmght banners and burned university president Myles Brand in effigy. Hanging by a rope outside one off-cam­ pus house was a stuffed human figure with the name Kent Harvey written on its shirt. Harvey is the 19-year-old freshman who had a run-in with Knight that sparked the events leading to the coach's dismissal. A sign by the hanging figure said, "This is what we do to trai­ tors." Harvey said Knight grabbed him by the arm and cursed at him after the freshman greeted the coach at Assembly Hall by saying, "Hey, what's up, Knight?" Knight said he had simply Regardless, Brand and other university offi­ cials saw the confrontation — and other mis­ conduct that had not been publicized — as the final blow. After reprimanding Knight in May and putting him under a zero-tolerance policy, the university acted quickly, unwilling to let this latest episode linger. * But Knight's spirit will surely stick around. Once a new coach is hired and the team moves forward, Odle said he believes his old, red- sweatered coach will continue having an impact. "If he's at home and he watches us on TV and doesn't like the way we play," Odle said, smiling for the first time, "I'm sure we'll hear about it." FREE LIVE MUSIC starting at 7:00pm ST ER S E V E N !

And now, after Colorado's second down-to-the-wire loss in a row, he is hearing about it even more. "I don't have any control over it," Barnett said. "The league discourages you from playing a good non-confer­ ence schedule." Barnett and his Buffs have started the season with an 0-2 record, which most believe is because they have one of the toughest schedules in the nation. "I think it's a schedule that is not necessary," Nebraska head coach Frank Solich said. "It's obvious to me that you don't have to have a tough schedule to go to the national championship. You have to be an undefeated team." In week one, Colorado lost to in-state rival Colorado State 24-28. This past weekend, the Buffaloes lost to No. 10 USC, 17-14, when the Trojans kicked a last-minute field goal to take the win. "I can't speak for them, nor do I want to," Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops said. "I like the schedule we have." His reasoning: "I like that we're 2-0 right now." Colorado's schedule doesn't get any easier anytime soon, either. They play No. 9 Washington, followed by No. 7 Kansas State, Texas A&M and No. 5 Texas, in the weeks to come. OSU coach touts offensive line as reason for improvement In an effort to explain his team's rushing success this year, Oklahoma State coach Bob Simmons is praising the offensive line. "I think what we may have is an improved offensive line," he said. "I think we're bigger and stronger and can establish the line of scrimmage." And this is particularly important to the Cowboys, who have traditionally lost when turning in a sub-par rushing performance. In fact, on all three occasions last year when Oklahoma State gained less than 100 yards on the ground, it lost. Last week the Cowboys had a ground performance of 247 yards in their 36-26 victory over Tulsa. Missouri ‘humiliated’ by Clemson Missouri head coach Larry Smith put it into perspective: Mi 7 7 01i s six turnovers that led to 27 Clemson points was embarrassing. "The game last week was a tremendous humiliation," he said. "W hen you lose a game, it*s not good; but when the other team scores 62 points, if s horrendous." Mizzou was shamed in a 62-9 thrashing by No. 16 Clemson on Saturday, arel now has only a week to prepare for No. 22 Michigan State. 0U’s Thacher earns Big 12 honors Oklahoma defensive back J.T. Thacher's performance last week is causing many to compare him to Kansas State's super special teamer David Allen. Thacher's five punt returns for 160 yards — including a 66-yard touchdown in the Sooners' 45-7 win over Arkansas State — earned him Big 12 Player of the Week honors. "[Thacher] had some excellent runs on his own as well as had some good blocking in front of him," said OU coach Bob Stoops. Thacher also made six tackles and an interception while playing safety for the Sooners. Colorado QB quagmire continues It seems that the new trend in the Big 12 is to have your second-string quarterback put up better numbers than your starting quarterback. Colorado back-up Bobby Pesavento once again put up big numbers in the Buffs loss to USC on Saturday, and in just two games, the junior has completed 25 of 34 passes for 304 yards with no interceptions and two touchdowns. All of this is getting head coach Gary Barnett's attention. "We are going to consider [starting Bobby]" he said. "Bobby is running the offense very efficiently when he's been in there." Stoops praises RB Norman Bob Stoops describes running back Josh Norman as his offense's renaissance man. Norman, who splits time at run­ ning back as well as wide receiver; has earned praise for his varied skills. "Josh is really a guy who can play any position for us. He's a good running back as well as a good receiver," he said. Now, Stoops said that Norman has added another trick to his bag — blocking. "He's playing more physical tliis year whether he has the ball or not," he said. Norman's on-field achievements, though, have not yet earned accolades from Stoops. Last week against Arkansas State, Norman gained eight yards on the ground on only one carry. He had an even less productive day as a wide receiver, catching three passes for minus-1 yard. TEXAS FOOTBALL NOTES « L > - Lack of practice still made for perfect When Texas sent in its first-team defense with just three minutes to go in the fourth quarter and the game way out of reach, the move likely didn't sit well on the Louisiana-Lafayette sideline. However, Brown had his reasons for the surprise sub­ stitutions. "We have a rule on defense where if the other team gets inside the 20-yard line, we are going to send in our first team," Brown said. "You don't get enough chances to work in that part of the field during the preseason, since you're so concerned about guys bunching up and getting injured down there. But I think that unit got a lot of confidence after that series." The Cajuns were held short on a third-and-one and fourth-and-one in that series, as attempts to plunge the ball through the line were thwarted by linebackers De'Andre Lewis, Everick Rawls and defensive tackle Shaun Rogers. Texas then regained possession, but were ultimately forced to punt for only the second time in the game. Which ‘SportsCenter’ does Roy watch? Following his breakout perform ance Saturday — where he hauled in a team-high six catches for 105 yards — wideout Roy Williams hoped to see himself on ESPN's SportsCenter. His dazzling 40-yard reception in the second quarter did make the program that night, though Williams never got a chance to see it. "I was mostly with my family after the game, so I didn't see it then. And I didn't see it the next morning because I slept in pretty late," Williams said. "But I’ve had some people who told me they saw the catch on Plays of the Week, and others said it wasn't. But I don't know." For the record, the freshman's grab didn't make SportCenter's weekly highlight reel. And although the call to send Williams on a deep post pattern while the Horns' were backed up on their one-yard line might have seemed risky, offensive coordinator Greg Davis said the decision was almost predictable. "A ny coach would have called that same play I would have called," Davis said. "W e've worked that play [in practice] a thousand times in that same situation. So there's not a sense of 'Wow' from our players when we throw it deep from our own end zone." Short gains Rewarded for his four-touchdown effort off the bench this weekend against the Ragin' Cajuns, Texas quarter­ back Major Applewhite was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week on Monday. ...

Compiled by Paul J. Weber, Dally Texan Staff Huskers quarterback making good on opportunity to start CROUCH, from 9 like Virginia Tech. But despite all of that, the Huskers w ouldn't be where they are now w ithout their 6-foot 1-inch, 205- pound quarterback. "The Redshirts like to be the focus of our team, but there's no question that people are going to think Eric Crouch when they think Nebraska this season," Nebraska linebacker Carlos Polk said. "H e's unbeliev­ able." And to think it w asn't so long ago that Crouch was ready to quit is per­ haps even more mind-boggling than his talent. But as far as Crouch is concerned, all of that is in the past. "I wouldn't change a thing about the way this story has worked out, but I'm looking ahead for now," the quarterback said. "W e've got some big games to play." Defenses beware, Eric Crouch is still running. Nebraska hoping for Orange Bowl bid HUSKERS, from 9 admit it. "A ring would be nice," he said. "But we do have a lot to worry about before that." "I think people that are picking us to win the national title are doing so because of the talent we have on offense," Solich said. "But I don't think people aren't recognizing that we have lots of questions on defense." Indeed, the Black Shirts do. The Huskers will be playing with five new defenders, two of which will be severely tested. Defensive end Demoine Adams and tackle Jason Lohr will both be playing the left side of the line with little experience, and should expect opponents to come their way early and often, since All- Am erican candidate Kyle Vanden Bosch is on the opposite side of the line at right defensive end. "We got some young guys that are going to need some help in the first few games," said Polk, who is the leader of the defense at middle line­ backer. "B ut to me, I've seen these guys practice, so there really isn't any questions about the defense." And if that's the case, then there probably isn't much of a question about Nebraska earning a trip to the Orange Bowl. Just don't expect Polk or anyone else in a red-and-white uniform to U T M E N ’S V O L L E Y B A L L C L U B T r y o u t 2 NATIONAL T r a v e l i n g T e a m s 1 sTAHtaflMfeffeLiNG T e a m G e t In S h a p É, G i r l s l o v e It !!

We just won't allow it." Unfortunately, you would almost need a promise out of Kirk-Hughes to believe it after the season the offensive line put forth a year ago. The Horns' o-line gave up 31 sacks in 1999, 20 of which were surrendered in the last three games of the season to spur a three-game end-of-the-year slide. In fact, it got so bad at times last season that the offensive line looked like they were creating rushing lanes for the pass rush to get through. Against K a n s a s State for instance, the Wildcats brought virtually everything they had, and seemingly every member of the K-State defense that came got through. The Wildcats sacked quarterback Major Applewhite five times in their 35-17 victory, and forced the quar­ terback to cough up six turnovers in the game. For the five men on the line, it was absolutely horrific. "I think we took a lot of heat for that game and oth­ ers, and we deserved some it," Kirk-Hughes said. "But the thing that bothered us was that it seemed like that was the only way we got our name in the paper. People only wrote about us when we did something wrong, and that was frustrating." But that's the story of being an offensive lineman at Texas. The expectations are so great that the only time Kirk- Hughes and his comrades got noticed is when they screw up. Unfortunately, that is all anyone seemed to see last year. Just ask their quarterback. "Those guys don't get enough credit for the job they do. Seriously. There are times when I walk up to the line and tell those guys who to hit and where to block," Applewhite said in defense of his oft-criticized line­ men. "But sometimes, the guy they're supposed to block doesn't come up to the line, then the safety comes around the corner, and it's my responsibility. But then, out of nowhere, one of my guys will just run up and, 'Pow !', knock him straight in the mouth. It's very encouraging." But perhaps Saturday's performance agaihst the Louisiana-Lafayette can be the start of a new trend for the linemen. The Longhorns' big men upfront didn't allow the Ragin' C ajuns to sack either Chris Sim m s or Applewhite Saturday, the first time the squad accom­ plished such a feat since last season's 62-0 romp of Baylor. The quarterbacks did hit the ground a few times, and they took their share of licks here and there from Louisiana-Lafayette, but when the final horn sounded, the Texas offensive line had left their signal callers rel­ atively unbattered. So can the criticism of last season, at least for now. "I thought our pass protection was real good, Kirk- Hughes said. "It wasn't a perfect game for us, but 1 don't think anyone can say that we didn't do a good job. We took care of business." Unfortunately, most are still weary of their performance. Many would still argue that the solid outing was simply a case of a powerful Texas offensive line match­ ing up against an undersized Cajuns defense, and even the coaching staff is not ready to pat the linemen on the back just yet. "Our line did a great job by not giving up a sack, but we're not foolish enough to think they don't need to improve," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. We re pleased that we didn't have a sack but blitzes from Stanford are going to be more heavy than they were against Louisiana-Lafayette." Doubt is still present, but with the new optimism instilled in the offensive line this season, it does appear they are ready to succeed. And that part, at least, is a promise. "We aren't going to sit idly by this year and watch defenses blow right by us," Kirk-Hughes said. "We re through with that." Knight should have been fired, but not lor ‘manners’ lecture BREDESEN, from 9 So why didn't Indiana Umversitv President Myles Brand fire Knight last spring, when accusations — seri­ ous accusations — were surrounding Knight's personal conduct? Why now? Even under a vaguely outlined "zero-tolerance" pol­ icy, this was not the time to set an example of Knight's behavior. It's almost like saying, sorry, Neil Reed. Your getting choked wouldn't send Knight packing. Too bad he did­ n't lecture you on respectfully addressing your elders. People argue that because Knight forcefully grabbed Harvey's arm, he was in violation of the zero-tolerance policy. In fact, Harvey claimed to have felt scared and vio­ lated by the confrontation with Knight. 1 le was so dis­ traught that he immediately went home to call his step­ father, an outspoken Knight critic named Mark Shaw. Harvey was so frightened that he filed a police report against Knight, shortly after the conversation with his stepfather. Of course, Harvey was seen laughing with his bud­ dies only moments after the encounter with Knight, apparently making light of the situation. 1 larvey was simply hungry for a little attention and spurned on by his stepfather. So what we've got on our hands here is a handful of serious accusations (choking a player, on-court antics) being shadowed by a less serious accuser (Kent Harvey) and a University president (Myles Brand) who realizes that he might have made a mistake by not fir­ ing Bob Knight earlier. Whether Knight should have been fired will long be debated. The bigger question here, though, is whether now was the right time to do it. One certainty in this situation is that Knight s public presence won't end here. In a ESPN online poll, 43.4 percent of respondants think Knight should simply retire and go fishing. But some 42 percent think he should continue coaching at the collegiate or even the professional level. Isiah Thomas is reportedly already looking to hire Knight as an assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers. And if the NBA is Knight's goal, how fun would it be to see Knight take a position with the New York Kmcks, should the opportunity ever arise? Knight coaching Latrell Sprewell. That would be a colorful relationship to watch unfold. Back mr popular demapd, The Dally Texan is giving you the chance to pick the football winners each week and cash In on great prizes!

L O N D O N — Scientists have confirmed a suspicion held by some smokers but never proven: It could take just a few cigarettes to become addicted. Some 12- and 13-year-olds showed evidence of addiction within days of their first cigarette, according to research reported this week in the British Medical Association journal Tobacco Control. "There's been a suspicion that many people become addicted very quickly, but this is really the first hard evi­ dence that we've had that this occurs," said Dr. Richard Hurt, director of the Nicotine Dependency Unit at the Mayo Clinic. Experts have tried for years to determine how long people have to smoke before becoming addicted, and "the best answer to date had been one to two years, said Hurt, who was not involved in the study. He said the findings will help scientists better under­ stand the biology of nicotine addiction and lend more plausibility to the idea that some people may be more genetically susceptible to it than others. "The really important implication of this study is that we have to warn kids that you can't just fool around with cigarettes or experiment with cigarettes for a few weeks and then give it up," said Dr. Joseph DiFranza, the University of who Massachusetts. "If you fool around with cigarettes for a few weeks, you may be addicted for life." the research at lead The study, conducted in 1998, followed 68112- to 13- year-olds in central Massachusetts for a year and The researchers did not label any of them addicted because the standard definition of nicotine dependence assumes addiction cannot happen without prolonged heavy smoking. The scientists simply recorded symp­ toms that indicate addiction. These indude cravings, needing more to get the same buzz, withdrawal symptoms when not smoking, feeling addicted to tobacco and loss of control over the number of cigarettes smoked or the duration of smok­ ing. Ninety-five of die youths said they had started smok­ ing occasionally — at least one cigarette a month during die study. The scientists found that 60, or 63 per­ cent, had one or more symptoms of addiction. A quarter of those with symptoms got diem within two weeks of starting to smoke and several said their symptoms began within a few days. Sixty-two percent said they had their first symptom before they began smoking every day, or that the symp­ toms made them start smoking daily. The researchers found that the symptoms began soon after the teens started smoking. Even though some people who have never smoked on a daily basis can find it hard to quit, the assumption that smokers only become addicted after smoking a lot of cigarettes over a long period of time came from observations that some people can smoke five ciga­ rettes a day for many years and not become addicted, the study noted. Tests find no evidence to support polio vaccine theory of AIDS epidemic m b By The Associated Press - - - — ■ A. m 1 < t n r v / 4 m A ft 1*1 C Cl used in Africa. LONDON — Independent laboratory tests have found no evidence to support the theory that an exper­ imental polio vaccine used on about 1 million Africans in the 1950s inadvertently triggered the AIDS epidem­ ic The findings, presented Monday at a conference at the Royal Society in London, revealed no evidence that the vaccine, administered between 1957 and 1961, con­ tained any tissue from chimpanzees. Scientists believe that HIV, die virus that causes AIDS, most probably originates from the type of SIV, or simian immunodeficiency virus, found in chimpanzees in western central Africa. But they don't know how or when the chimp virus got into humans. The prevailing theory is that a hunter became infect­ ed after being scratched by a chimp when trying to cap­ ture it or after cutting himself while butchering the ani­ mal. However, some experts suspect that polio vaccine made with contaminated chimpanzee cells may have been the culprit. In the latest tests, samples of four different supplies of the vaccine, including some used in the Aincan immunization program, were tested for traces of genet­ ic material from animals. Two laboratories found the samples they tested were made using monkey tissue, but they found no chimp DN A, said Claudio Basifico, chairman of the microbiol­ ogy department at New York University School of Medicine. Basifico chaired a committee set up by the vaccine's maker, the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, to investigate claims that chimp tissue might have been used. "Does this definitively rule out the vacdne theory? No, but it makes it more unlikely," Basifico said. He said record-keeping was sketchy at the time and that there may have been other samples not tested that were The tests were also designed to find traces of SIV and found none. But that may not be important, Basifico said, because the virus could have died out after 40 years in a freezer. The findings by the Max-Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, and the Pasteur Institute in Paris did not dampen the views of Edward Hoopei; chief proponent of the polio vacdne theory. Hooper contended in a 1999 book, "The River, that the Wistar Institute sdentists might have used chimp kidneys contaminated with the virus to make some batches of the vaccine. "This means nothing at all for the polio vacdne the­ ory because different batches were prepared," Hoo said, adding that other, untested or missing bat might have yielded different results. Two sdentists who conducted the African vacdne trials denied any chimpanzee tissue was used to make the vacdne and branded Hooper's theory a "fantasy." "We never used chimp kidneys," said Dr. Hilary Koprowski, who developed the vacdne. "I was there in 1957 and the author (Hooper) was not." "I was working in the Wistar laboratory from 1957 to 1961 and I never saw or heard of chimpanzee cells" being used, added Dr. Stanley Plotkin, now a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Hooper quoted others involved in the research, such as lab technicians, hygienists and vets, who appeared to support his theory. One, a lab techrudan identified only as Juma, said kidneys were removed from chimps at the vaccine research station in Afnca and sftit to labs in Belgium and Rwanda. Others contended that chimp kidneys were sent to the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia and that some of the vacdne was made in a laboratory in Stanleyville, in what was then the Belgian Congo, now the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Lansdale's child protagonists believe equally in the existence of God and the Goat Man (better known in South Texas as the Chupacabra), the former which doesn't seem to play an active role in most Christian locals' lives, and the latter which everyone finds much more interesting to talk about anyway. Due to the straightforward nature of Lansdale's language, what the plot lacks in originality the narrative makes up in homespun authenticity. From the sticky heat of Texas sum­ mers to thick fig pies and warm bis­ cuits, Lansdale hammers out a world most have never actually experi­ enced, yet he allows you to know intimately. Much of this is accom­ plished through the easy southern vernacular. From word choice to the rhythm of syntax, each character's speech is uniquely tailored. At times, Lansdale's descriptions fall somewhere between charmingly rustic and awkward. Comparing the sunlight to "gold red globs like bust­ ed apples dipped in honey" is both clumsy and poetic. Because the bulk of the novel consists of Lansdale's characteristic cut-and-dry language, the few occasions he does stop to assume a more poetic style fit uncomfortably between the other paragraphs. But the sheer painstak­ ing attention given to details like the spray of sunlight, which some authors might plow past, compli­ ments an already meticulous writer. Lansdale can fully explore a moment with remarkable precision, and when he does dispense words more freely, they aren't wasted. Despite numerous attempts to typ­ ify Lansdale's work, his style can't be concretely classified. His sometimes unsettling integration of modern val­ ues imposed on conservative time periods and places makes for an interesting story, but in the end an unconvincing one.

On one hand, it is amazing how successfully Joe Lansdale has weaved such historically taboo top­ ics into a seemingly old-fashioned crime novel set in East lexas. I seri­ ously wonder about Lansdale's motives for including such material, as he sometimes stretches the point of credibility. Mentions of fetishism and bondage are stuffed into the story like ridiculous garnishes, and yet with some guilt I must admit those unexpected twists of sensation­ alism (like the publicly masturbating town idiot nicknamed "Root," after his size) do add some base entertain­ ment value. You are left feeling both amused and dirty, and you can't decide whether it's a good or a bad thing. Lansdale's natural gift for story­ telling is surprisingly disarming. His style resembles that of Harper Lee's in To KilLa Mockingbird, as both have Toronto film fest celebrates horror innovation By Associated Press If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then last y ear's horror hit The Blair Witch Project has many admirers. Still, imitating the flick's herky- jerky docum entary style will not land a movie in the raucous, after- hours portion of a major film festi­ val. Colin Geddes, who runs the Toronto Film International F estival's M idnight M adness screenings of horror and thriller movies, said he was overwhelmed by Blair Witch copycats from North A m erica and Europe among the 250 movies he consid­ ered. Not a single one made the cut. The hippest, edgiest movies for the late-night B-m ovie segment came from the Orient, Said organ­ izers of the festival, which runs through Saturday. In a category normally dominated by American and European movies, seven of the nine midnight films came from Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan or Thailand. In past years, the lineup had never included more than three Asian films, Geddes said. "T h e films we got from North America and Europe were too much like Blair Witch fallout," Geddes said. "I can't tell you how many films about w acky docum entary film crews we got. The media lauded a rebirth of American horror last year, but it's not been a rebirth. It's just cloning." B-movie entries from Asia simply showed more creativity this year, Geddes said. Asian filmmakers, par­ ticularly those from South Korea, have been m oving from a more remote art-house style to commer­ cially accessible fare, he said. "The Asian movies do tend to be than H ollyw ood m ore original ones," said Colin Auld of Toronto, tickets for every who bought M idnight M adness screening and said he planned to show up at least two hours early each night so he could be first in line. "They tend to be more stylized and hipper. The Asian movies actual­ ly weird you out because they seem genuine and there's something really disturbing about them," he said. The twists and turns of the serial- killer movie Tell Me Something made it a box-office sensation in director Chang Younhyun's home country of South Korea last year. The movie proved a hit this w eekend with Toronto's Midnight M adness audi­ ence, which gave the gory, slice-and- dice movie rousing applause and sharp screams when, heads began to roll on screen. Much like Blair Witch connected with its audience through Internet buzz, Chang said he set out to involve audiences by making the plot of Tell M e Something a sort of interactive maze for movie-goers. "There was something I wanted to develop with this genre, do some kind of game with the audience using their psychological minds to make them really concentrate on the film and accept the film as a kind of reality," Chang said. Other Asian films in this year's lineup include The Foul King, a dark­ ly comic tale of a banker turned head-butting wrestling villain and the rock 'n' roll road movie Wild Zero, featuring a town of zombies. One M idnight M adness movie comes from New Zealand, while the only U.S. entry is The American Nightmare, a docum entary about such 1960s and 1970s horror masters as George Romero, Tobe Hooper and John Carpenter. The slasher-type movies that dom­ inated horror over the last 20 years have played out, and the genre needs fresh blood to re-invigorate itself, said American N ightmare director Adam Simon. Blair Witch and the ghostly block­ buster The Sixth Sense were wakeup calls, but the genre needs more than a spate of fake documentaries, Simon said. Even A rtisan Entertainment, which picked up Blair Witch after a m idnight screening at last year s Sundance Film Festival, recognized that it needed something new for the sequel due next month. Book o f Shadows: Blair Witch 2 abandons the documentary style in favor of a nar­ rative about thrill-seekers following in the footsteps of the fictional film­ makers who disappeared in the first movie." No doubt, this is not a great time for the American and European hor­ ror fantasy film ," Simon said. "I think that's changing. Blair Witch and Sixth Sense were not a fluke. I think they're likely to inaugurate a good decade, in my opinion, for these kinds of films."

VAR SIT Y S P O R T S W E A R is seeking occount executives for our Austin of fice Incredible opportunity awaits for individuals w ho want to take part in this fun and rewarding position Call 477-U T ÍX The D a ily Texan Tuesday, S e p te m b e r 12, 2000 Page 19 Conference addresses traumas of youth By The Associated Press WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Last year, at age 17, Rosamond was abducted by rebels in her native Sierra Leone, then raped, beaten and forced to labor in a rebel camp where she wit­ nessed murders and mutilations. This week, she is sleeping in a fine hotel in this peaceful city on the Canadian prairie, hobnobbing with youths from other war-torn nations. They go bowling. They take riverboat tours. And they recount chilling tales of the worst of human nature, as seen through the eyes of children. The conference on helping youth traum atized by w ar sponsored by the Canadian government and drawing 800 youth and adults from more than 130 countries — has the usual experts in tweeds, bureaucrats in suits and stacks of background papers filled w ith grim statistics: 2 m illion chil­ dren killed w orldw ide by w ar in the past decade; 5 m illion injured; 300,000 forced to serve as child soldiers. But w ith their often gruesome first-person accounts and their earnest beliefe that future atrocities can be prevented, the young people inject a raw blend of honor and hope to the proceedings. "H ow do you build peace when the next generation has slaughtered the previous generation, and many in the next gen­ eration are missing a lim b because a colleague has chopped it o ff?" asked Steven M orris, spokesman for the Canadian International Development Agency, a co-sponsor of the confer­ ence. "These are problems that may never be solved." D on't tell that to the teen-agers who have come here from troubled spots around the globe: S ri Lanka, Uganda, Colom bia, Angola, Sudan. Diana Ibrahim , 18, says her fam ily fled to Canada from Sudan after enduring government persecution. H er father, a businessman, w ould disappear for days at a time, taken for questioning. He w ould return w ith scarred fingers, refusing to talk about those marks of torture. Grace Acayo, 18, says she was abducted at age 13 by rebels w ith the Lord's Resistance Arm y in Uganda. For three years, she was forced to fight for the rebels' cause, laying land mines and serving as one of 11 "w ives to a rebel commander. She says she was forced to k ill her cousin, explaining: "If you don't k ill, they w ill k ill you." Rosamond asks that her last name not be used to reduce her chances of being killed when she returns to Sierra Leone, where civil w ar has driven half the nation's 5 m illion people from their homes and forced nearly 3,000 children into duty as soldiers, laborers or sex slaves — m ostly for the Revolutionary United Front rebel army. Tall and handsome, Rosamond wears her hair in comrow braids that sweep back neatly from her face. She has a wide, gushing sm ile that erupts frequently, especially as she describes a week of firsts: her first airplane ride, her first foray out of steamy West Africa. "I love this place!" she exults about W innipeg, sitting in a hotel restaurant. "I love the people. 1 love everything. Very different from home. The buildings, the weather. W e don't have so much cold. W e have all our warm clothes on here. She speaks cheerfully of her work in Sierra Leone, helping a hum anitarian group provide education and counseling to children suffering from the war. W hen she begins her own story, however, the gleaming sm ile vanishes. She shifts in her seat, her back stiffening. "M y day came Jan. 8,1999," she says. "The rebels came in, looting beating. It was an ordeal to see my neighbors pulled out and executed. I was living w ith my uncle. W e left our home for security. We were hiding. "A fter two days, I returned home in^search of fixxi and clothing because w e were out of all those things. At my house, they hit me. There were five of them. They blindfold­ ed me, tied me, dragged me into a vehicle and took me to the bush. I was there for about three weeks. During that time, I was forced to witness ..." She stops, catches her breath, then plunges in again. " I was forced to witness pregnant women being cut open, m utilation of male genitals w ith machetes. I was forced to witness many things that were terrible. 1 was . . ." She stops, and sobs bubble out. Her head sinks to the table, tears dripping onto the table top. Diners at nearby tables look over quizzically. Rosam ond's chápenme, Grace Harm an, puts her hand on the g irl's shoulder and speaks quietly for a w hile, rem arking that some of the worst horrors are commit­ ted by rebels who are children themselves. For five minutes, Rosamond weeps. Perhaps it is time to stop the interview, Harm an suggests. EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT Associated Pre Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy chats with children at the Hotel Fort Garry in Winnipeg Sunday at the International Conference on War-Affected Children. The conference on helping youth traumatized by war was sponsored by the Canadian government and drew 750 youth and adults from more than 30 countries. "N o. 1 want to continue," Rosamond whim pers, lifting her head. "1 want other governm ents to see what is really hap­ pening in my countrv. W hat happened to me has happened to many others. Many, many. "A fter three weeks, 1 managed to plan my escape. 1 here were» six of us. One dav, we went out until we were far away. We w ere quiet, because if they saw us, they w ould kill us. W hen 1 came out, 1 saw my house was burned down. Four months later, 1 realized 1 was pregnant." Rosamond wants to talk more — about her abortion ah >ut her nightmares and her inability to concentrate in s< hoot But it is 7:15 p.m. — time for dinner w ith the other youth dele gates. H er schedule this week in W innipeg is chock full forums in the daytim e; disco-bowling, a paddletxvat ride and a barbecue w ith the m ayor in the evenings Next week, Rosamond w ill return to Sierra Leone r e a r n A V U C U T EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT i W d u f e * - •90-C U w - • 9 0 - C l u b f - l a i k m i r n n t i n t r t o u f f t m f t i l u t e u r a i i t i gOO * fia n ira l FRONT DESK CLERK NEEDED.
