On average, assistant professors granted tenure in September had significantly higher scores on stu­ dent evaluations than their counter­ parts who were denied promotions. Course-instructor surveys allow students to rate professors in areas such as course organization, instruc­ tor organization, effectiveness of teaching, clarity of objectives and instructor availability. Last year, 66 faculty members applied for tenure. In the two semesters prior to their review, pro­ fessors who were granted tenure averaged 4.4 on a scale of 5 in the instructor section of the survey and 4.2 in the course section of the sur­ vey, according to online statistics posted by the M easurem ent and Evaluation Center. These figures consider 37 of the 47 professors who were awarded tenure. The course evaluations of the other 10 professors were not available from the MEC. Sixteen p ro fesso rs who w ere denied tenure averaged 3.9 on the instructor section of the survey and 3.8 on the course section during the -two semesters prior to their réview. No information on course evalua­ tions was available for the other three professors denied tenure. In addition to stu d ent course evalu ation s, Eklan d -O lson said teaching performance, research and service are also considered in tenure selection. "W e ask ap p lican ts to subm it their syllabi as well as faculty peer review, and some colleges give exit surveys that ask seniors which three professors they learned the most from," Ekland-Olson said. "Taken together, those four indicators give a pretty good composite picture of teaching evaluation." Alec Norton, assistant professor mathematics who did not receive tenure, said the emphasis placed on the cou rse-instructor surveys in evaluation varies from department to department. "Som e d epartm ents depend explicitly on those surveys, but my d ep artm en t focu ses m ore on research," he said. "But if they do turn out very bad, then they can have an influence negatively." Norton, who averaged a 4 4 and 4.6 respectively, said the evaluations are important, but he places more im portance on the student com ­ ments. "The scores are easy to report, but they are a little h ard er to trust, becau se w h at's an average su p­ posed to be on a 5-point scale for Dat dam linebacker Five years on, Texas wide receiv­ er Wane McGarity says that he still retains one vivid memory from his first-e v e r v isit to Texas A&M University — an undersized, wide- eyed, astonishingly enthusiastic recruit named Dat Nguyen.

The dinner, which has been held since 1980, features a three-course meal of salad, turkey and dressing, and dessert, along with a medieval-period comedy over the course of the evening. The event is funded by ticket sales and money from the Texas Union fund, which comes from the Texas Union student fee. Of the $38,000 budgeted for the dinner, about $22,000 comes from ticket revenues. About 1,300 people attended the Madrigal Dinner, which was held for four days Last week, at ticket prices ranging from $16 to $20 for the Wednesday and Thursday shows, and $20 to $24 for the Friday and Saturday shows. UT students received a discount of $6 per ticket each night of the event. , Kevin W hitt, a m echanical engineering sophomore and dinner producer, said the event is an exam ple of Union funds being spent to offer entertainment options to stu­ dents. "It attracts students to the Union," Whitt said. "By providing this entertainment, we give them something to do on a Friday or Saturday night." Many of the participants and audience mem­ bers have returned to particip ate in the Toby Morris/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Guests at the Madrigal Dinner receive a three-course meal and watch medieval-style entertainment. About 1,300 people attended the dinner, which was offered for four days at the Texas Union. Madrigal Dinner year after year because of the camaraderie with fellow castmembers and the audience, said Daniel Eastland, a former stu­ dent who played a footman in this year's show. "You have these friendships which occur three months out of the year," Eastland said. "There are also audience members who come back. Most people in Austin don't normally get to see an event like this." M any scenes in the drama occur in the crowd. The actors also mingle with the audi­ ence during meal breaks, entertaining the patrons by singing and juggling and making the audience an integral part of the show. "Since we are walking among the tables they feel a part of the show," Eastland said. "A dead audience kills the show." Planning for the dinner begins the April before the event when scripts are submitted. Auditions for parts are held in September, and rehearsals begin once the cast is selected. Robert Lawrence, director of the show and human resource coordinator for the Union, said the script is a constant work in progress, open to changes for the sake of involving the audience in the show. "The crowd is a large part of the show," Lawrence said. "There are things we add because the audience' will like it." Since many of the participants are students, they have to juggle the responsibilities of per­ forming in the dinner with school. Whitt said this can be difficult. "You try to balance it the best you can," Whitt said. "Of course school is always your first priority, but Madrigal is a close second."

Women’s Co-ops use open house to raise concern Danielle Cooper Daily Texas Staff Fearing they are in danger of los­ ing their housing, the UT Women's Cooperatives held an open house Saturday to raise awareness of the possibility that the University may alter the nature of the co-ops in the next year. TTie W om en's C o-ops' lease expires in May 1999, and in order to consider new options for the area — such as structuring the co-ops more like UT resid en ce halls — the University has not yet agreed to extend the lease for the next year. "The open house is just to have an opportunity for the public to see what services, including low rent, com m unity atm osphere, and an alternative to dorm life, that the co­ op has provided for the University for the past 63 years," said Ashima Duggal, a co-op house manager and philosophy / A sian studies senior. Currently, co-op members pay between $325 and $350 per month and must contribute to the cooking and cleaning of their house. UT dor­ mitory residents pay between $648 and $706 per month, with cleaning and food provided by the Division of Housing and Food. Each of the 12 co-op houses are managed by a student house man­ ager who is responsible for enforc­ ing UT policy and reporting to UT officials if a violation occurs. About 200 women and 13 men currently live in the UT Women's cooperatives on Whitis Avenue. The U niversity is con sid erin g charging residence hall room rates at the Women's Co-ops but allow­ ing co-op residents the option of not buying the U niversity food plan, said Doug Garrard, assistant direc­ tor for the Division of Housing and Food Service. "If we operate them like the resi­ dence halls, we would charge regu­ lar residence halls rates, but we would also offer regular residence hall services," Garrard said. "One of the things I have been discussing with the co -o p s is H ousing and Food Services taking over all the management functions which are currently done by the full-time staft at the co-ops." But Duggal said paying residence hall rates defeats the co-ops' pur­ pose at the University as alternative, cheap housing. If the University took control of the o p eratio n s of the W om en 's Cooperatives away from its mem­ bers, they essen tia lly would no longer be co-ops, said Jena Dunn, a corporate communications senior and president of the UT Women's CO-OPS/Page 2 Murder rate drops to lowest point in 30 years Associated Press Associated Press WASHINGTON — The nation's murder rate reached its lowest level in 30 years as serious crimes report­ ed to police in 1997 declined for a sixth consecutive year, the FBI said Sunday. "These decreases are real and go beyond a statistical blip," Attorney General Janet Reno said. "But we have not won the war on crime. We cannot let up even one minute." Final FBI figures for 1997 showed a 2 percent drop from the year before in the number of major crim es reported to more than 17,000 police agencies around the nation. The 13.2 million total crimes were 7 percent below the 1993 fig­ ure The crime rate, which adjusts for population growth, showed more dramatic declines. Last year's rate was 4,923 crimes per 100,000 resi­ dents, down 3 percent from 19%, 10 percent below 1993 and 13 per­ cent lower than 1988. The murder rate plunged 8.1 percent. All violent crimes — murder, rape, robbery and aggravated rape, robbery and aggravated assault — and all the far more numerous property crimes — bur­ glary, auto theft and larceny-theft — dropped in both number and rate. The violent crime rate was down 4 percent to its lowest level since 1987, led by the 8.1 percent decline for murder and a 7.8 drop for rob­ bery. The aggravated assault rate was down 2.3 percent, and the rape rate declined 1.1 percent. The property crime rate dipped 3.1 percent — down 3.8 percent for auto theft, 3.1 percent for larceny- theft, 2.7 percent for burglary. The decline in number of mur­ ders to 18,209 was the highlight — 7 percent fewer than in 19% and 26 percent below the 1993 figure. The rate of 6.8 murders per 100,000 resi­ dents was the lowest since 1967's rate of 6.2. "Overall things look a lot better," said James Alan Fox, dean of the college of crim inal justice at Northeastern University.

Madame Hippie suggested that the students burn red candles to put a hex on A&M. Texas won 23-0, and an annual tradition began. Mondav at 8:45 p.m. in front of the Main Building, the tradition continues with this year's Hex Rally. The candle hex was dropped in 1955 after a loss to Texas Christian the Student U n iv ersity . But Involvem ent C om m ittee — now called the Texas Exes Student Chapter — decided to start it again in 1986 after traditional bonfire at the University was outlawed by an A ustin city ord inan ce, said Jeff Yorio, co-chair of the spirit and tra­ dition committee of the Texas Exes Student Chapter. Despite the fact that Texas has a 3-9 record against A&M since the rally was brought back in 1986, Yorio thinks that this year will be Y o r io t h in k different. "I am confident that the hex will work this year," Yorio said. Near the end of the rally, head football coach Mack Brown will light the first candle and the light will then be passed around to the students. Students can buy candles on the West Mall Monday and dur­ ing the rally for 50 cents from the Texas Exes Student Chapter which is organizing the event. "It is a pretty neat spectacle to have all those candles lit in front of the M ain B u ild in g ," said Dee Campanella, president of the Texas Exes Stu ent Chapter. The Texas Cheerleaders, Pom and Band will be there along with Bevo, Coach Brown and the football team. Yorio said the rally will help bol­ ster student spirit on campus. "It bands the students and gets all students together to support UT and show their school spirit," Yorio said.

"I know it may be scary and diffi­ cult at times, but if you don't give us the o p p o rtu n ity to excel, w e never will," Poser said.

G arrard and other UT officials have met w ith co-op residents to discuss possibilities for the future of the Women's Cooperatives. "At this point, we are trying to work with the Co-op Council — not to be exclusionary, but just to put the people who are in the leader­ ship in the co-op in the same room to try to come to some decisions, some consensus," Garrard said.

"I th in k p eo p le w ho get bad grades w rite nasty rem arks at the end of the semester to take it out on the professor no matter whose fault it was," she said. "I think the head of a department should focus on a class where students randomly are picked according to the size of the class and asked what they think they want."

But we're safe." In the street outside the church, several hundred Muslim youths sat in the middle of a road and recited Islam ic prayers.

Its fin an ce m inister, Yaakov Neem an, left for W ash in g to n , D .C ., on Su n d ay to request aid to fortify Jew ish settle­ ments and build roads that bypass Palestinian tow ns — controversial items that U.S. officials may resist. Palestinians are lobbying for $400 m illion to $500 m illion to build a road netw ork that w ill knit their scattered villages and towns togeth­ er and pave the way for statehood. But they oppose the use of U.S. aid to make Jewish settlers more secure and Israel's confiscation of land to build the roads. For the United States, the requests pose a dilemma of rising expecta­ tions and conflicting political aims. M o sh e F o g el, sp o k e sm a n for Isra e li P rim e M in iste r B en ja m in N etanyahu's government, said the purpose of the aid was to "minimize p o ten tia l fric tio n " a fter the n ext p u llb a ck — w h ich w ill le a v e a dozen Israeli settlements surround­ ed by Palestinian-controlled lands.

Jewish settlers published a letter Sunday calling on the Israeli govern­ ment to provide armored buses for schoolchildren, build lookout posts along key roads, construct helicopter landing pads in all settlements and issue military equipm ent for settle­ ments, including machine guns, tear gas and rubber-coated bullets. Palestinian officials said the Unit ed States should not sanctiori the confiscation of land or help the set­ tlers sink deeper roots into war-cap­ tured land the Palestinians want for a future state.

They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student l\iblications Board of Operating Trustees. . *8 It is a rare thing when a truly great criminal is forced to defend himself in court. Oh sure, you have your serial killers, stalkers, kidnap­ pers, etc. facing trial all the time, but once in a while you get to see the real pros get what's coming to them. Such is the case with former presi­ dent, former chief of the army, cur­ rent senator-for-life from Chile, Augusto Pinochet, who ruled Chile for almost 20 years with an iron hand. The background to this case is quite interesting. Pinochet, now in his 80s, was recently in London for surgery. There he was arrested as the result of an extradition request by Spanish judge Balatasar Garzón, who wants the ex-dictator to stand trial for the torture and killing of Spanish citizens during his rule. While Britain has so far denied extradition, families in England, France and Sweden are also pursu­ ing legal action against Pinochet, and Switzerland has also requested extradition. These legal goings on have creat­ ed a great deal of controversy both in Europe and South America. In Greg Hammond COLUMNIST Europe, the legality of the extradi­ tion requested has been hotly debat­ ed, given Pinochet's status as a for­ mer head of state, even though such immunities usually apply to actual heads of state. On this basis, Lon­ don's high court turned down the request and has passed it on to the Law Lords of the House of Lords, Britain's highest court. However, it is unclear whether the status of for­ mer head-of-state is sufficient to merit full immunity, especially for crimes as great as these. It is a dangerous precedent to set. If any former head-of-state can be extradited for such crimes, does that mean that Ronald Reagan could be extradited for promoting civil war in Central America? Or, more to the point in this instance, could former Secretary of State *Henry Kissinger also be extradited for helping Pinochet gain power in the first place? And what about all of those other dictators still alive who have committed crimes at least as bad as Pinochet's but are still running around loose? We can only hope that they too may some day be called to account for what they did, and, if the opportunity arises to peacefully arrest them as well, let's take it. The issue is even more complicat­ ed for the Chileans, who certainly do not look on this matter with unmixed feelings. During his regime, Pinochet obliterated democratic protections, violently overthrew the government, and killed or "disappeared" thou­ sands of civilians who disagreed with his rule. On the other hand, he willingly stepped down after a national referendum asked him to, though he made sure that under the new system he would not have to answer for anything he might have done while in command. He is prob­ ably the only dictator in history to remain in a position of power after leaving office. Besides, his supporters argue, the economy was in chaos under the Marxist government of Sal­ vador Allende — Pinochet saved the nation the commies. He brought economic stability to the from nation, and today Chile has one of the strongest economies in South America But in the process he also brought down a duly-elected administra­ tion. The state of the economy is hardly a justification for a coup. It would be like saying that the Chair­ man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would be justified in kicking out the president if there were a recession. Furthermore, the benefits to the economy dq not excuse the abuse of human rights that went on during his rule. Hitler also did wonders for his country's economy, but no one would suggest that that should excuse him. Pinochet may not have been quite as bad as Hitler, but he too commit­ ted crimes, and crimes must be pun­ ished, especially when they reach such a great magnitude. We live in a country where we call people to account for sexual indiscretions. Surely we should hold accountable a man responsible for the deaths of thousands and the overthrow of democracy. Hammond is a Latin American history graduate student 4 T h e D aily T exan MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28,1888 T h e Da il y T ex a n Editorial Board Editor Michael Mulcahy Associate Editors Sholnn Freeman Elizabeth Souder Spencer Prou Amy Strahan VIEWPOINT Prove it This weekend marked the anniversary of the assassination of John. F. Kennedy. Television viewers were assailed with the usual barrage of political pundits nostalgically recalling where they were when they heard the tragic news. Walter Cronkite made his obligatory appearances bn the networks to recall his thoughts and remind the nation that the most trusted man in America is still keeping a watchful eye on U.S. politics. But Cronkite is retired, and we trust no one. Kennedy's death not only marked the end of American ideal­ ism, it spawned a new wave of skepticism — the modem con­ spiracy theory. Sure, Watergate later affirmed our worst fears about public leaders, but it was the Kennedy assassination that told us "they" were untouchable, unstoppable, and had control of the "real" workings of U.S. policy. It doesn't really matter who you believe "they" were and are. Everyone has seen the Zapruder film, watched at least one Oliv­ er Stone trailer and skipped through a few conspiracy claims on late-night cable. They are urban legends for government and poli-sd majors, yet we don't tire of them. Like modern-day fables, they reinforce our worst fears and most cynical beliefs about our country, reminding us not to talk to strangers and that the government is out to "get you." But the skepticism doesn't stop there. Even at the University, most UT students have heard about cameras on the West Mall thought to have been installed during Frank Erwin's regime. Are they still there? We're not sure. What about the tunnels run­ ning underneath campus? Are they really used just for mainte­ nance? We hope so, but it's fun to speculate otherwise. Are the Eyes of Texas really upon us? Who cares? However, other conspiracy theories aren't as light-hearted. At last week's town hall meeting with UT System lawyers and President Larry Faulkner, UT officials were accused of inviting the 1992 Hopwood lawsuit in an elaborate scheme to kill affir­ mative action at the University. UT lawyers heatedly dismissed the claim as ridiculous, but the audience was strangely quiet. In a world where anything is plausible, students mulled over the accusation carefully. •Students clearly don't trust the UT administration, and regardless of the number of trips officials make to South Texas to recruit historically under-represented students to the Univer­ sity, that s not going to change anytime soon. But how wary are we? Sure, most students can agree that UT officials aren't very interested in the welfare of students, but are they "out to get us?" Most of us can sleep easily with the notion of unfeeling bureau­ crats shuffling through paperwork in the Tower, but the idea of unfriendly eyes peering down over campus is unnerving. Are UT officials committed to diversity? They say they are. But students won't believe it until they are part of the planning process. If Faulkner is committed to a diverse student body, then perhaps he should invite these students who seem to care the most about diversity to accompany him on these recruitment excursions. Faulkner's harshest critics care deeply about the future of the University and have already demonstrated a will­ ingness to help, so let them. The administration has nothing to lose, but could gain students' trust in these efforts. FIRING LINE Blight of reason You can rant and rave about the evils of affirmative action, you can trash Larry Faulkner, the Horns, and even UT itself; but when you attack smokers, you cross the line. I am referring of course to Kathleen Luther's article "Light of Reason" (Firing Line, Friday). Ms. Luther she says that all smokers are "try­ ing to justify their addiction" and "smoke because [they] must." Smokers needs no justification and nobody smokes because they must. People breathe and sleep because they must. You say cigarette smoke makes non-smokers sick? You mean ciga­ rette smoke makes you sick. I know many non-smokers who are able to show a little human decency to their fellow man/woman and not bitch every time someone lights up. By the way, next time you wear some cheap tacky perfume, don't sit in the same restaurant section as I, your second hand fumes may damage rrry lungs and irritate my eyes. Now as far as footing the bill for smoking-related diseases go, you must realize that our tax dollars are going towards supporting that ICU bed the same as yours are. If you have a problem with that, maybe you should stop driving. After all the roads are paid for by other peo­ ple. So is the school you go to and the city you live in. And frankly, I feel my money is being wasted on anti-smokers like you. Why should I have to foot the bill when you suffer your stress induced breakdown. If you feel you're wasting tax money paying for smokers health care, just wait until you decide to go after alco­ holics, druggies, veterans, the men­ tally challenged and the physically challenged. They require support from tax dollars as well, you know. In all honesty, I can understand non-smokers. They simply choose not to smoke and I can respect that. It's the anti-smokers that I find childish. Don't you have anything better to do with your time? Go bum an abortion clinic or something. It is not, nor has it ever been the job of the American public or the govern­ ment to "chip away at your [smok­ ers] deniability" or "cultivate an anti-smoking ethos." If you feel that it is your obligation, I hope you enjoy the cold, friendless life it brings you. When it comes down to it, I like to smoke. It relaxes me and helps me concentrate. Yes, it is bad for me. Yes, I am addicted. No, I don't care. I can't speak for other smok­ ers, but I never claimed to be per­ fect. One thing I have noticed. Across all walks of life and in almost any social situation, most smokers are nicer people. They are nicer to both smokers and non-smokers alike. If you don't believe me, just ask any waiter or waitress. On average, smokers don't judge or berate oth­ ers as much as non-smokers do. Perhaps this is because they haven't 1 been bottling up stress for the last 25 or 30 years. Once again I would like to re­ state that I have no problem with non-smokers. Some of you are very cool people. But there is not one single anti-smoker out there who I can respect. * I'd like to close with a quote I heard from my aunt who is a smok­ er (and still alive and well at 87). "The only thing more annoying than a smoker among non-smokers, is a non-smoker among smokers." Colin Wood Music therapy junior Keep Union vote Once, again the Texas Union wants to raise our fees to support the enterprise. The Texas Union is $270,000 in debt and does not make enough money to get out of this hole. So they turn to the students for money. As it stands now, for the Union to raise fees if must be voted on by a the student referendum. Now Union Board of Directors is asking students to give up their vote so the Union can raise fees without a vote. This would give the board power to raise fees without end and students would have no say in the matter. Currently students act as an over­ sight committee for the Union because we are allowed to vote on fee increases. If we waive our right to vote, the Union Board would have nobody to hold them account­ able and they could dramatically raise our fees at will. The power to vote ensures that the Union Board does not get a monopoly on raising student fees just to pull themselves out of debt. Students, do not give up your right to vote on this matter. Randy Samuelson Government senior . Secretary, Young Conservatives of Texas Hearings outrageous Our country is suffering from psychological treason. The dictionary definition of trea­ son is: "Violation of allegiance to one's Sovereign, or country, by con­ sciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies." Demanding that our President neglect his official duties to sit for hours before a Grand Jury, hearing his answers to questions, without having been given the usual cour­ tesy of knowing about what subject matter they would inquire, was outrageous. We were surprised by listening for four hours to questions that should not have been asked because they concerned no govern­ mental matter?. Customary client privilege was abridged when the hearing was taped and then broad­ cast to world-wide television audi­ ences. The broadcast was followed by a male voice vehemently reporting this "News Flash": "The president of the United States of America is a LIAR, never to be trusted again, and unfit to hold office!" It was never stipulated that this "verdict" was based, not on any governmen­ tal affairs, but exclusively on our president's sexual indulgence. Is this anything less than treasonous? lamentable Imagine how stunned audiences were, especially those who cherish President Clinton's friendship, and his extraordinary governmental skills ... until they heard a clarifying explanations that the "verdict" referred only to sexual matters, which to many foreign leaders is a trivial matter, especially to those whose mistresses are "accepted" in their societies. Then their wonder­ ment turned to astonishment over our apparent naivete, as though our country is unaware that uncon­ trolled sexual passion has plagued humankind since the first male realized that his dominant physical strength empowered him to satisfy his desires, choose the vyay he would live, and eliminate interfer­ ence. We recognize that this ancient male behavior established a legacy that today continues retarding mankind's social improvement, despite enlightenment given us by the Ten Commandments. Hitherto, out of loyalty and good taste, our country has silently toler­ ated, and tried to ignore, the per­ sonal frailties of our elected presi­ dents, focusing instead on their official accomplishments. We, as a nation, must realize that contending with an we are unprecedented wake-up call gener­ ated in Congress by members moti­ vated to exchange their attention to governmental needs for attention to titillating personal, intimate charac­ teristics of colleagues. We elected members of Congress to discuss and debate official policies and ideas for governmental solutions of issues too broad for individual states. How sad it is that rather than utilize the past six years working toward solutions, we are mired in treasonous erosion from within. Josephine Huntley UT Alumna Diversity is important This is in response to Mark Hud­ dleston's question (Firing Line, Thursday): "How does having a 'diverse' classroom benefit my edu­ cation?" Mr. Huddleston is obvi­ ously not aware of how our world is shrinking technology has made it possible for us to contact anybody, anywhere, at anytime. Economic countries agreements between (such as NAFTA) have made it eas­ ier for companies to market their products in foreign nations. As a corporate communications major, you should realize that a compa­ ny's clients, consumers, etc., are now more diverse than ever. Haven't you learned in classes such as "Organizational Communica­ tion" that diversity is an important factor in an organization's success? For example, according to a study done by SRI Consulting, the pur­ chasing power of Hispanics has increased over 70 percent in the last couple of years. We must adapt to these consumers and their needs. I can guarantee you that the most successful and competitive compa­ nies are the ones that are targeting not only these, but all other con­ sumers. Another very important fact is that the United States is a very diverse nation. It's population is made of people from Hispanic, African American, Asian and many other ethnic backgrounds. Our nation is often called the "melting pot." From reading your article, it sure doesn't sound like you realize this. With your attitude, good luck in finding a job. Companies are looking for individuals that will diversify their organization as they are focusing on bringing together a work force that represents their consumers. If you continue with this frame of mind, I wish you the best of luck, not only in your pro­ fessional development, but in your personal life as well. Instead of appealing to your emotion, Mr. Huddleston, I ask you to see it in a practical manner. Diversity in the classroom will enable you to meet people from dif­ ferent backgrounds and to better understand the consumers you will be targeting once you graduate and are working in the real world.

News Editor M ichael Tunks, 12mat77@mail.utexas.edu UNIVERSITY Architecture students win national contest / T h e D a il y T e x a n 0 MOMMY, NOVHMBBI28,1888 Ashley Kosiewicz Daily Texan Staff Two team s of graduate students from the UT School of Architecture won a national aw ard recognizing architectural draw ings of historic buildings. Collecting first and third places in the competition for the 1998 Charles E. Peterson Prize, the six-member teams each chose a building of national sig­ nificance to research and draw. The winning drawings were of the Lee County Courthouse in Giddings and the John Nance Gamer House in Camp wood. S tudents w ere responsible for detailed measurements of the interior and exterior of the buildings, location plans, elevation m easurements and unique architectural features. Histori­ cal significance of the building was also documented. The Peterson Prize is intended to increase awareness and knowledge of historic buildings across the United States. "The most important thing is that they had an opportunity to really get to loiow a building, because they have to touch it in order to draw it," said Dan Leary, associate professor of architecture and the faculty advisor for the two teams. Students were given six weeks to complete the project. After spending three weeks on the site taking mea­ surem ents and photographs, they spent the remaining threé weeks in an architectural studio drawing the final product. "The idea is that you could rebuild the building because your drawings are so accurate," said Beth Fucci, mem­ ber of the third-place John Nance Gar­ ner House team. Students in the architecture school who take a concentration in historical preservation must participate in the competition. The fjrst- and third-place teams received $2,000 a-nd $1,000 dollar prizes respectively and a certificate honoring their work. The cash prizes w ill be recycled into the H istoric Preservation Program. Laurie Zapalac, member of the first- place Lee County Courthouse team, found the project both educational and enjoyable. "What I enjoyed the most was learn­ ing from m y fellow team m ates because we had some incredibly tal­ ented people on the team," Zapalac said. Jeff Chusid, director of the program in the School of A rchitecture, expressed his enthusiasm for the stu­ dents' performances. "I find it extremely gratifying, and I think it is a no-more-than fair indica­ tion of the quality of the preservation program," Chusid said. Ik e first-place drawing of the Lee County C ourthouse was draw n by Zapalac, Matthew Haberling, Jessica Juarez, Lawson Newman, Jane Sun­ derland and Robert Ward. UT gradu­ ate students Fucci, Jason Charalam- bides, Ann Horan, Beth Humphrey, Chay Rees and Lindsay Rose won third place with the drawing of the John Nance Gamer House. The 16th annual competition was put on by the H istoric A m erican Buildings Survey program. Submis­ sions to the competition were tailor- m ade to HABS stan d ard s, w hich involve restrictions such as the kind of paper and pen that must be used. Receiving 21 entries from 16 univer­ sities across the nation this year, the HABS will put the students' drawings in its perm anent collection of mea­ sured drawings at the Library of Con­ gress. The Lee County Courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Texas Historic Land­ mark. The John Nance Gamer House was identified as a National Historic Landmark in 1997. Asteroid impact theory supported by fragment University Wire LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The the­ ory that dinosaurs vanished from the planet because of a huge asteroid impact just received more support from a discovery by Frank Kyte, a UCLA geophysicist and professor of oceanography. Kyte discovered w hat he says is the first known fragment of an aster­ oid that hit the earth 65 million years ago, possibly eliminating 70 percent of all p la n t a n d an im al species, including the dinosaurs. "We can now add information to the debate of whether it was a comet or an a ste ro id th a t ca u sed th e impact," he said. "Comets are more fluffy, whereas my sample is more compact, so it's probably an aster­ oid." Kyte said the fragment he found has high concentrations of iridium, which is usually found in meteorites. Kyte pulled the fragment from the K /T la y e r of th e P acific O cean, which scientists believe is a layer of debris that settled back to Earth after being blown away by the meteor. "The K /T layer has ejecta from the impact, such as high levels of iridi­ um," he said. Kyte said he also found samples of quartz granules, which show signs of being impacted by the asteroid. The fragm ent also contains large amounts of iron, nickel and chromi­ um. But he a d d e d th a t h e h a s n 't proven if his sample is from the actu­ al a ste ro id th a t w ip ed o u t the dinosaurs. "There's no question that this frag­ m ent is from an asteroid," he said. "But it's open to debate if it's from the actual asteroid that killed the dinosaurs." Kyte first presented the fragment at a NASA meeting three years ago and used electron m icroscopes to examine w hether it came from an asteroid. He published his findings recently. Other scientists have found frag­ ments from the K /T layer that might have been part of the asteroid, but they were too small to analyze. "The K /T asteroid was something like 6 miles across, and it got blasted into pieces that would fit on the head of a pin," said Jeff Pleschia, a crater specialist for the U.S. Geological Ser­ vice in Flagstaff, Ariz. Kyte has been researching the K/T layer for 18 years. "I've worked with the layer's sedi­ ments and spherules for years," he said. "It's ju st really in te re stin g stuff." Kyte said he will continue to work with impact deposits. He said he is currently analyzing some meteoric deposits he found in the ocean near southern Chile. "Those fragments are bigger, but they're younger," he said. D o You N e e d Your W isd om Teeth R em oved ?

Texas lottery sales drop for first time Associated Press LUBBOCK — Texas lottery sales dropped 17 percent statewide in fiscal 1998 compared to a year ago, with the biggest drop — 21 percent — occurring in the H igh Plains region, according to a marketing study. The fiscal year that ended Aug. 31 marked the first time that lottery sales have fallen from one year to the next, Houston consultant Jayar Daily said in a recent report to the Lottery Commission. The rep o rt blam ed the sales slump on the state Legislature's decisions to reduce prize payouts and cut back on advertising. Law­ makers voted in 1997 to cut the lot­ tery's overall prize payout from an average of about 57 cents of every dollar in sales to 52.5 cents. The p rize red u ctio n affected only instant tickets, but D aily's report showed that instant tickets, Lotto Texas and Cash 5 all took big sales hits during the last fiscal year. He found that Pick 3 was the only prod u ct that saw a slig h t sales increase. V era M anis, ow ner of V era's G rocerette in Lubbock, said her s to re 's lo ttery sales are dow n because customers don't like the reduced prize payout. "They are off terribly," she told the Lubbock Avalanche-Jour nal. "It's just not paying anything." Lubbock County lottery sales fell from $39.9 million last year to $30.9 million this year, the commission said. Linda Cloud, executive director of the Lottery Com mission, said retailers in the region have been hurt by the New Mexico lottery, which is attracting customers who once drove across state lin es to play the Texas games. Cloud said a limited number of large jackpots and the ad cuts also hurt sales. Lottery officials said the agency spen t m ore than $41 m illion to advertise the games in fiscal 1997 — about $5 million more than in fiscal 1998. L o ttery C om m ission C h a ir­ woman Harriet Miers said the Leg­ islature needs to look at the com­ m ission's budget and prize pay­ outs if they hope to improve sales. Miers noted that commission offi­ cials are prohibited by state law from lobbying lawmakers to make changes. Rep. Rob Junell, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said law m akers w ill look at the prize payouts. Lottery officials are scheduled to appear before the appropriations committee Dec. 2 to discuss their budget requests. ex p lan atio n s for h is d ea th ," said Ja n ie T em ples, from Fort W orth, who said she thought the anniver­ sa ry w as a good tim e to s a tia te her cu riosity ; A nd c u r io s ity m ad e for g oo d b u s in e s s .

As the the senior Texas wideout recalls it, the hosts were uninspiring, the nightlife was barren, and the most imposing figure on the otherwise dreary landscape was the football stadium which he then knew he never want­ ed to call his home stadium. But five years later, McGarity says that he still retains one vivid memory from his first- ever visit to Texas A&M University — an undersized, wide-eyed, astonishingly enthu­ siastic recruit named Dat Nguyen. "H e was just like a tourist," McGarity said. "He was like, 'Isn't this place wonderful?' He loved every second of it, and that's how he is all the time. You can't help but like him." They didn't see it coming at the time, but Aggie fans eventually discovered the same thing about Nguyen — although they've grown fond of him for other reasons besides his affection for College Station. After originally garnering attention simply due to his small frame and Vietnamese back­ ground, Nguyen has made a name for him­ self as one of the best defensive players in the country. In fact, the author of 488 career tackles has earned such a strong reputation that he enters this week's showdown with the rival Long­ horns as the frontrunner for the Butkus Award. And because of the presence of star rusher Ricky Williams in the Texas backfield, many people are looking forward to Friday's tilt as a classic slugfest between two of the most dominant athletes to ever play their respective positions. "IFs not very often that you see two players who are the frontrunners to win the Butkus Award and the Heisman Trophy playing against each other in the same game," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "It's our offense against their defense, and those two guys are the best players on each side." Actually, last season offered a similar matchup between the eventual Heisman and Butkus winners, when Charles Woodson's Michigan team squared off with Andy Katzenmoyer's Ohio State.

Nguyen, a 6-1, 215-pound middle line­ backer, has gained his fame by neutralizing backs such as Williams, who knows that the pair will likely pop pads between 20 and 30 times on Friday morning. "Every time I get tackled, I lookup and see Dat," Williams said of his three prior experi­ ences against A&M. "They play great team defense, and he is the best player on that defense." Williams, who needs only 63 yards to become the NCAA's all-time leading rusher, actually had the opportunity to meet Nguyen without having to unleash his stiff-arm over the offseason, when they were attending an All-American banquet in Phoenix. At that time, Williams was still considering making himself eligible for the NFL draft, and the duo exchanged mementos (Nguyen gave Williams an actual game helmet) with the Aggie believing that he would never again see the Doak Walker Award winner as a colle­ gian. Sometimes, Nguyen said, he wishes he had been right. "H e's the best player I've ever played against," Nguyen said. "I was kind of hoping he would go pro. Now, I have to put up with him again. He's phenomenal." Even besides their physical prowess and CLASH/Page 8 ABOVE LEFT: Texas tailback Ricky Williams hopes to break Tony DOrsett's NCAA rushing record against A&M.

He’s phenomenal.” — Dat Nguyen, Aggies mkkbe linebacker South Florida dismantles UT Mike Wilson Daily Texan Staff With an upstart South Florida team traveling to Austin Saturday for Texas' first home game in the Rick Barnes era, the Longhorns were given a prime opportunity to declare how well they could play. Unfortunately, the only state­ ment they made was exactly how far they still have to go. The Longhorns lost their first home opener in four years after being outscored 55-38 in the second half en route to a 93-76 blowout loss. "It would shock anyone to have somebody beat you this badly," guard Chico Vazquez said. "But you have to give South Florida all the credit. They djd what they had to do to win the game." A defensive breakdown in the T E X A S M E N 'S B A S K E T B A L L second half and 19 turnovers ulti­ mately spelled doom for the Long­ horns, who fell to 0-2 on the season. Texas was out-rebounded 40-29. "It was really upsetting," said forward Gabe Muoneke. "I don't think I've experienced a beating as thorough as this at home before. The only thing I'm worried about right now is this team not winning any gam es." One of the reasons Texas was pounded on the glass was the fact that the Bulls were able to shut down UT center Chris Mihm. The sophom ore w as unable to pull down even one rebound and spent most of the afternoon on the bench with teammate Kris Clack in foul trouble. "Our goal was to keep Mihm off the block," Bulls center Scott John­ son said. "H e and Clack were obvi­ ously focal points. I think we did a good job on defense, and I think I was able to shut Mihm down." The only bright spot in an other- w ise-subpar game was Muoneke, who scored 30 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. During one first-half stretch the junior forward scored 17 of 21 Texas points, keeping the Horns in the game. Despite his torrid scoring pace and extended range — Muoneke hit three-point attem pts — he didn't think he played any better than usual. two of three "It may be hard to believe, but I've always been doing that.

A weekend that started out as a fairy tale for the 12th-ranked Texas volleyball team ended as a complete nightmare. After completing a dramatic four- game, come-from-behind win against No. 15 Colorado Friday night, the Longhorns (22-4 overall, 16-2 Big 12) were overpowered by No. 3 Nebraska in three quick games Saturday (4-15, B M f M I I iT T T T l 7-15, 2-15). The loss ended Texas' realistic chances of repeating as Big 12 champi­ ons. That opportunity had opened up the night before when Texas A&M handed the Comhuskers their first loss of the season, putting Nebraska dead' even with Texas in conference play. The Horns can only hope now for Nebraska (26-1,17-1) to lose their final two matches of the season to Kansas State and Colorado to make their title dream a reality. Texas should have lit­ tle trouble against their final two opponents of the season, Missouri and Iowa State, who have combined for only six conference wins this year. "We're not where we want to be right now," Texas setter Jill Gremmel said. It was a tough send-off for Demetria Sanee and her senior teammates, who were playing in their final home .game. Sanee, Katie Austin and LaK- isha Bledsoe combined to hit only .144 percent on the night. "I still think we're in good posi­ tion," Sanee said. "It won't put us where we want to be as far as hosting a regional, but we still have a good chance of coming out on top." Texas' best opportunity to upset the Huskers came in game two when Texas took their first lead of the match, 6-5. However, as it did all night, Horns fight off Bulldogs for 1st win Jeff McDonald Daily Texan Staff With 1:30 left in her team's non­ conference tilt Saturday at George­ town, UT women's basketball coach Jody Conradt saw something she had definitely seen before.

M innesota how good the answ er on should provide Thursday. Chris Warren got his revenge and Troy Aikman got another win to bol­ ster his claim the Cowboys are back among the NFL's elite by defeating Seattle 30-22 on Sunday. A radar-accurate Aikman threw two touchdown passes, and Warren scored against his old Seattle team­ mates as Dallas rolled to its fourth- consecutive victory, most since the Super Bowl season of 1995. "This was a big win for us, and now we get Minnesota and a real challenge to gauge ourselves and see where we are at," Aikman said. "I think we are starting to be consid­ ered one of the elite teams in the NFL, which is where this organiza­ tion deserves to be." Minnesota has a 10-1 record, best in the NFC. "The Vikings will be a good benchmark for us to see how far we fullback have progressed," said Daryl Johnston of the Cowboys, who have bounced back from a 6-10 season that got coach Barry Switzer fired. Aikman, disappointed the Cow­ boys (8-3) haven't gained much national notice in their first season under coach Chan Gailey, hit 28 of 42 passes for 296 yards. He also scrambled three times despite suf­ fering a broken collarbone earlier in the year. "Aikman is playing as good as any quarterback in the NFL right now," said Seattle coach Dennis the Cow boys Erickson. offense is the best we've seen all year." "And Seahawks receiver Joey Galloway (84) pulls in a 44-yard touchdown pass as the Cowboys' Kevin Smith (26) dives after him during the second quarter. ASSOCIATED PRESS Page 8 Monday, November 2 3 ,1 9 9 8 T h e D a ily T ex a n Title bid pumps up Homs Men’s hoops Clash Continued from page 7 Continued from page 7 Mario Zavala Daily Texan Staff There's a different em otion sur­ rounding Texas w om en's cross country runners heading into Mon­ d ay's NCAA National C ham pi­ onship meet. After hearing the announcement last Tuesday that the Longhorns received an invitation to the champi­ onships, years of frustration and dis­ appointm ent gave way to sheer excitement. "It still blows my mind. I can't believe I'm gonna be running with the best college runners in the coun­ try," freshman A nne-Elyse Smith said. Smith isn't alone. Many of the young Horns were still in either middle or elementary school the last time Texas competed at a meet with national title implications. It's been nine long seasons (since 1989 to be exact) since the Long­ horns last competed at the NCAAs. W hile this season's invitation to T E X A S W O M E N ' S C R O S S C O U N T R Y Lawrence, Kan. will put those lack­ luster years in the past, a national title is still a bit out of reach for a young, resurgent Texas program. The Horns will instead focus on running well against some of the top programs in the country, gaining valuable big-meet experience and finishing the season ranked in the top 25. "This is a big step for our pro­ gram ," head coach John Rembao said. "N ot being ranked in nine years and finishing close to Missouri at conference and Baylor at regionals shows we ran well all year and were well-deserving of going to nation­ als." Texas will have to continue to run as well as they did at the NCAA South Central Regional to grab their first top-25 ranking of the '90s. The championship meet boasts 250 of the nation's best runners. The Horns, however, have stood their ground in big meets this year, finishing fourth at the Big 12 Cham­ pionships and third at the South Central Regional. Another strong showing is not out of the question. Consistency has been the Long­ horns' main key to success, placing at least one runner in the top 10 in every meet this season. Juniors Liz Diaz and Maureen Sweeney, the Horns' top finishers in every meet this season, have been a lethal com­ bination. Meanwhile, younger run­ ners like Smith, Samantha Dompier and Emily Gean have steadily improved throughout the season. Rembao emphasized that the tal­ ent is there to do well but that expe­ rience is lacking and intimidation could be a factor in determining the Longhorns' success. "How we handle running in a large meet will be a factor," Rembao said. "A lot of runners tend to freeze up when coming in contact with those surroundings, and we can't let that situation get to us."

But if I had done something that surprised myself, I would comment on it." A ten-foot baseline jum per by Muoneke with just under 16 min­ utes left in the game gave Texas their last lead at 48-47. From there the Bulls went on a 42-18 run to take an 89-66 lead with 1:29 remain­ ing. At one point during that run, the Longhorns suffered though a 2:42 scoring drought while w atching South Florida score 10 straight points. "I told the team that we have to get better on defense," Barnes said. "W e're a good offensive team. We'll score enough points to beat teams. That's not the problem. We're just going to have to stop people on defense." Even though the Horns w eren't able to make the resounding state­ ment they might have wanted, the season is still young. Barnes knows that there is still plenty of time to turn things>around, and he is confi­ dent in his team 's ability to do so. "We will all have to make some sacrifices," Barnes said. "W e're just going to have to find a way to make things work with this bunch of guys." S.

Both are active in the community, both have aspirations not related to football (Nguyen is already in graduate school; Williams is study­ ing to be a schoolteacher) and both have emerged as the undisputed team leaders of units that rank among the nation's elite. While Williams' role in the coun­ try's 12th-ranked offense is well-doc­ umented, some say that Nguyen doesn't get enough credit for provid­ ing the spark in A&M's fourth-ranked defensive corps. "We were beating them 51-15 [in 1996] and Dat was still trying to get the defense pumped up," McGarity said. "Ricky leads more by example. He stays real cool, and if he makes a run where he gets something out of nothing, that lets us know there's something to play for. But they're both great leaders." One of the few things that Williams does have that Nguyen lacks is a guaranteed spot on an NFL roster. The 6-0, 235-pound back is expected to be a sure-fire top-three pick this spring, while many observers say that Nguyen may have a more difficult time finding work because he's much Volleyball Continued from page 7 Heisman Watch ■ RICKY WILLIAMS, TEXAS RB The Longhorns were idle.

"When you're at linebacker, people can usually find ways to block you, but nobody blocks this guy," Brown said. "I really like to watch him play." Nebraska had an answer, scoring 10 of the next 11 points. "They put constant pressure on us and we did not put constant pressure on them," coach Jim Moore said. Nebraska was flawless in almost all facets of their game, tripling Texas' total in team blocks while posting only 10 hitting errors to Texas' 30. "I thought they'd come out very hard," Moore said. "I mean, their backs were against the wall and I don't know if it was a mistake I made not saying anything about that in pre­ game to the players." The loss was Texas' first at home since Nov. 30, 1996, snapping a 29- match home win streak. Friday night's match with Col- orado (20-6,13-5) was a very different story. Halfway through the second game, Texas saw themselves in a heap of trouble, already down one game and about to lose another, trailing 3-8. that plagued But the Longhorns shrugged off the them ■Sloppy play throughout game one to take their first lead at 15-14. Texas finished the job at that point, evening the match at one game apiece. Sanee helped the Longhorns cruise easily through the next two games to complete a season sweep of the Buf­ faloes (3-15, 16-14, 15-8, 15-5). Sanee finished with 31 kills, a new career high. Her old mark of 30 was set in 1995 against Notre Dame. Women’s hoops Continued from page 7 "This is a great group of players who just needs to understand how good they really are," Conradt said. "They needed a huge shot of confi­ dence, and they got it today. This could very well be a breakout game for this team." In a city renowned for quick rever­ sals of fortune — just ask Newt Gin­ grich — both teams experienced as much on Saturday. The Hoyas (1-2), much to the delight of the 647 fans at the McDo­ nough Gymnasium, burst out to 10- point lead in the first-half and hung on to a handy five-point advantage at the break. Texas fought back to tie the game four minutes into the second frame, and then went ahead for the first time after intermission on an Edwina Brown pull-up jumper with 15:11 to play. The Horns would keep firm control until Walker's go-ahead shot late in the contest, but four straight free throws put UT back on top with 30 seconds to play. It was then that things got a little dicey. After the last of the made foul shots, Conradt tried to substitute some play­ ers. One official waved in the new players while allowed Georgetown to inbound the ball. In the confusion, Hoya guard Melba Chambers got an uncontested lay-up that tied the game at 76. another Wallace, however, then answered with the clutch off-balance shot at the other end to give the Horns as many road wins (one) through two games this season than they had all of last year. "We had a lot of adversity, but we did a good job of working through it," Conradt said. "The best thing is that we didn't let those kind of things dis­ tract us. We stayed focused and got the win on the road." Texas was led all afternoon by B ro w n ,ju n io r jack-of-all-trades who logged minutes at three different posi­ tions during the game.

Woods' chipped in 10 points, col­ lected nine rebounds, dished out four assists, swiped three steals, and blocked two shots, including a three- pointer by Hoya star Katie Smrcka- Duffy as time expired that would have given Georgetown the game.

These next two days may be rough ones, but stick to it. You can come through and keep your insanity if you ask others for help. Taurus (April 20 - May 21): Trial and error, my dear Taurus! As you have wished to mend all the tears in your life, there are still a lot of things you can leam. Try to double check love relations as well as personal matters. You have missed vital things. Gemini (May 21 - June 21): Without having morals in your life, there is no dis­ puting you would be a wild one, Gemini. Think of adding a bit of control to your present circumstances. Letting loose is a great thing, but do it in moderation. Cancer (June 21 - July 22): The simple things in life are what bring you the most happiness. Concentrate on eliminating clutter this week and you may find a big boost in your mood. Leo (July 22 - Aug. 23): All the wishes you have longed for are starting to unrav­ el. Though you may not see results immediately, your patience can bring you plentiful rewards. Stick to the plan. You're on the right track. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept 23): Make a fresh start this week, Virgo. It is time to get rid of those things which have been hindering on your shoulders. Be it through a little meditation or a trip to The Container Store, prioritizing and organiz­ ing everything can put you at peace. Libra (Sept 23 - O ct 23): What was once impractical can now be seen as transforming into reality. As you see your hard work unfold, make sure you let it do what it wants to. If you make any stupid moves right now, it can be destroyed. Play it safe. Scorpio (O ct 23 - Nov. 22): Laundry time, Scorpio. You did not accomplish all you set out to do this weekend and it is time to play catch-up. You may be busy, but start knocking off your to d o list before it really piles up. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - D ec 21): A revi­ talizing spirit of a stranger may strike you oddly today. Take it as a refreshing change and stay near this person. Their vivacious attitude is just what you need for inspiration. Misery loves company. It can go the same for happiness. Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20): Catch up with your own thoughts today You may relate highly to durable goods and have a Don Juan ability to attract the opposite sex. All your values are Surfacing, so make sure you can sort them out. You may feel as random as this horoscope, but stick with what you know. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 19): Welcome your clash of ideas, rather than common arguments. A Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius are represented in your friendship realm today so make the most of it. A good conversation may be just what you need. Pisces (Feb. 19 - Márch 20): Playing with fire can nor only get you burned, but torch you, Pisces. Watch the dangerous little games you play, especially in love matters. Cupid is not fire-resistant. By KOfvr THE WHIZ- IIV YoyK. cue H errHAm ha rrtaJe.

But as alw ays, p sy ch o th erap y is given more m ention than it deserves,. Celebrity does involve relationship problem s to some extent, and these are the best parts of the film. U nfor­ tunately, the w eak satire of celebri tyhood serves to bring the rest of the film dow n. Some characters in the movie question w hy certain people become celebrities (a m an becomes a hero after being held hostage), b u t the film itself offers no real insight. film CELEBRITY Starring: Kenneth Branagh, Winona Ryder, Leonardo DiCaprio, Judy Davis, Famke Janssen D irector Woody Allen Playing a t Arbot, Highland Rating: ★ ’¿{out of five) Also, Celebrity show s th at people autom atically becom e m ore stupid w hen television cam eras are thru st in to their faces , b u t no a tte m p t is m ade to explain why.

Young gear freaks crowded to stare at his array of tricks, die most interesting of which was a Theremin- like device that used a beam of light instead of a metal rod to control and distort samples. Said gearheads w ere biding their time stageside to stare at their hero, Josh Wink. He seemed delighted to be in town, and die audience was glad to reciprocate, hollering as soon as he appeared. He sported an "aw-shucks- you-guys" grin and stepped into a set w ith a m arkedly m ore experim ental b e n t th a n w a s a p p a re n t o n the HearHere album, creating a collage that built up to the delivery of some altered and expanded versions of his songs. Electronic music has been m aking promises for years of being the van­ g u ard and future of p opular music, while its artistic future has been left to pasty kids with a penchant for Japan­ ese noisicians. W ink disproved this idea of ghettoization, since he has die ability to entertain and move an audi­ ence while doing things and making noises that w ould be considered too radical for a rock act. Experimentation is so much easier to slip into the mix w hen there's a focal point, like a beat, to work around. Meat Beat Manifesto's set ended the live perform ance p a rt of the night. More song-oriented than die two previ­ ous sets, they had the most convention­ al set of the three, if that's saying much. Their techno-pop moments should have ensured them Prodigy-like sales numbers by now, but perhaps it7s the little things, like the burly little male dancer with them onstage or the Russ Meyer footage showing behind them, that has kept them in left field this long. — Susan Shepard SUPPOSED FORMER INFATUATION JUNKIE By: Alanis Morisette Label: Maverick Rating: ★ ★ ★ (out of five) Alanis M orrissette is not the next Madonna.

Jagged Little Pill didn't sell 16 million records w ith one catchy tune and a pretty face on the cover; M orrissette succeeded because of her honesty and and raw lyrics. On her new album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, M orrissette avoids the sophom ore slum p and produces an album that on the surface has none of the rugged rage of Jagged Little Pill. However, Morrissette incorporates all of her emotions into the songs, and the result is an amazing feat. Junkie is su rp ris in g ly w ith o u t rhymes and sometimes without even a set melody. Morrissette instead spouts lyrics like she's spitting out a list. O n "T hank U " she alte rn a te s b etw een "how 'bout" this and "thank you" to someone els6. "Sym pathetic Charac­ ter" lists the th in g s th at scared h e r about a lover. W hile th ese lists d o n 't seem to approach lyrical depth, they belie the emotional details brought out in Mor- rissette's earnest voice. "That I W ould be Good" seems like self-affirmation therapy with minimal musical accom­ paniment, but just beneath the surface, Morrissette's voice exhibits such feel­ ing that one may actually feel moved. "Unsent" is perhaps the most p er­ sonal song on the album. The lyrics are comprised of letters never sent to vari­ ous men in her life. Her voice wavers a bit w hen reciting the various nam es she mentions, hinting that perhaps the love she once had still pains her. Alanis excels at conveying emotions through her music. Sometimes, how ­ ever, the songs themselves fail. "Can't Not" is jarring in all the wrong ways. "Are You Still M ad" and "Your Con­ gratulations" play against Morrissette's strengths, forcing her voice to do gym ­ nastics it just can't do. Too m any songs rely too much on a good beat to carry Morrissette's w an­ dering voice. "The Couch" and "I Was Hoping" and others sound eerily simi­ lar, detracting from the stellar lyrics that populate nearly every song. Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie excels in its ability to convey emotion and feeling, but some of the songs fall flat due to Morrissette's insistence on avoiding melody too often. As a singer and lyric-writer, Morris­ sette proves she should be considered one of the best. It7s not exactly time to declare Morrissette queen of all rock 'n' roll just yet, but if her albums continue to divulge this m uch passion and emo­ tion in the songs like Junkie , her coro­ nation may not be too far off. — Kurt Scott He 1.45 - 4:30 - 7:15 - 10:00 O L Y M P I A Ends Tue. 2 30 - 5:00 - 7:35 HAPPINESS Ends Tus. 4:45 - 7:30 - 10:10 Redboy_13 11 so p™ J2i 7un*' " More Games • More Variety • More Fun!
