The In te r c o lle g ia te A th le tic s 
C o u n cil fo r M en u n a n im o u sly 
approved $303,000 in renovations to 
Disch-Falk field Wednesday.

A thletics o fficials said the co n ­
struction projects are routine main­
ten an ce a ctiv ities that have been 
n ee d ed for so m e tim e and w ill 
im prove the field and facilities for 
UT baseball players.

D oug M esser, sen io r a sso cia te 
athletic director, said athletics offi­
cials p lan to renovate the battin g 
cages, locker room, field, and seats*

"W e haven't done anything for a 
while — it's part of normal mainte­
nance to get ready for the baseball 
season," Messer said.

Butch W orley, associate athletic 
director for adm inistration, made 
the recommendations to the council 
Monday after walking the field and 
lo c k e r room areas w ith b a se b a ll 
coach Augie Garrido.

W orley told 13 councilm em bers 
W ednesday they should consider 
p a in tin g th e e n tire stad iu m and 
replacing the playing field before 
next season.

M en 's A th letic D irecto r D eloss 
D od d s said the field n eed s to be

replaced for player safety, since the 
12-year-old outfield has exceeded 
it's "life span" of eight to 11 years.

Dodds said that if the current arti­
ficial turf field is replaced with nat­
ural grass, it could cost about $1.5 
m illio n , w h ile rep lacin g the tu rf 
could cost about $1 million.

No decision was made about the 
field's playing surface W ednesday, 
but the athletic council will take up, 
the matter in about a month, Dodds 
said.

Last month, several m em bers of 
th e T e x a s H ig h er E d u c a tio n 
C oord inating Board chastised UT 
officials for spending about $1 m il­

lion — which board members said 
w as too m uch — on a new g rass 
foo tball field at D arrell K R oy al- 
Texas Memorial Stadium in 1997.

But Messer said he is hopeful the 
baseball field replacem ent project 
will be approved if it is put before 
th e 
c o o rd in a tin g b o a rd . T h e 
University must get the board's con­
sent before embarking on construc­
tion p ro jects th at cost m ore than 
$600,000.

"[The baseball field renovations] 
are totally a different consequence," 
M esser said. "The Disch-Falk field 
hasn't been repaired in 12 years."

O ne o f th e p ro je c ts a p p ro v e d

W ednesday would include rep air­
ing the artificial turf and the warn­
ing track at a cost of $85,000.

The current renovations will also

Garrido to m ake the batting cages

chain-link type fencing and wind- 
proof netting that cgn be raised and

U .S. S e n a to r and 7 7 -y e a r-o ld 
Astronaut John Glenn is preparing 
to co n d u ct an e x p e rim e n t on 
leukemia infected cells, which will 
then be studied by researchers at 
the U n iv ersity w hen the sh u ttle 
crew returns to earth.

G len n is c u rre n tly aboard the 
Space Shuttle Discovery, which was 
launched into space last Thursday. 
He will test the effects of micrograv­
ity on the infected Jurkat cells, and 
UT students will analyze the human 
cells and use the data to continue 
research projects begun last Spring.

The project has ramifications that 
could affect the p h arm aceu ticals 
and ca n c e r re se a rc h in d u s trie s 
becau se m u lti-d ru g re sistan ce is 
common in leukemia patients, said 
Jennifer Buchli, a molecular biology 
and anthropology senior.

Ju rk at cells, very sim ilar to the 
H L -60 ce lls, w ere used at the 
University last spring in other micro­
gravity related research, Buchli said.

Buchli worked with three other UT 
students last spring to test the dif- 
fusibility of drugs in cells. The exper­

Voter turnout drops dramatically

D a ily T e x a n S ta ff

Voter turnout in Travis County 
for Tuesday's election was 21 per­
centage points lower than in 1994, 
a d e c re a s e th a t e x p e rts said 
W ednesday w as due partly to a

In 1994, 57 percent of registered

County, while Tuesday saw only a 
35 percent turnout.

Experts said fewer Texans voted 
this year probably because there 
w as no presidential election, the 
econ om y is d oin g w ell and the 
g u b e rn a to ria l

George W. Bush and Garry Mauro 
was non-competitive.

"L o w voter tu rn out is caused

race at the head of the ticket is a 
foregone conclusion," said Bruce 
Buchanan, a UT government pro­
fessor. "A lso a m idterm election 
does not draw the attention that a 
presidential year does."

Bush, the Republican incumbent, 
d efeated M auro, th e D em ocrat,

"P eo p le tend to stream to the

Bin Laden, aide indicted with 
U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa

Associated Press

NEW Y O R K — F u g itiv e Sau d i 
millionaire Osama bin Laden and a 
top aide were indicted W ednesday 
in the U .S. Em bassy bom bings in 
Africa and accused of conspiring to 
kill Am ericans outside the United 
States.

Bin Laden and Muhammad Atef, 
identified as military commander of 
b in L a d e n 's o rg a n iz a tio n , w ere 
charged in an indictment returned in 
U .S. D istrict C ourt in M anhattan. 
S ta te D ep a rtm en t 
T h e U .S. 
announced rewards of up to $5 mil­
lion for their arrests and convictions.

"This is an important step forward 
in our fig h t a g a in st te r r o r is m ," 
Attorney General Janet Reno said in 
a statement. "It sends a message that 
no terrorist can flout our laws and 
murder innocent civibans."

If convicted, both men could face 

the death penalty.

T h ey an d fo u r o th e r m en are 
ch a rg e d w ith p a r tic ip a tin g in a 
w orld w id e terro rist org anization 
led by bin Laden in a conspiracy to 
murder Americans.

The targ e ts o f the alleg ed p lot 
included members of the U.S. mili­

tary in Saudi Arabia and Som alia; 
and A m erican s em p lo y ed at the 
U.S. em bassies in N airobi, Kenya, 
and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

O ther goals included setting up 
front com panies, providing bogus 
tra v e l d o cu m en ts and ly in g to 
a u th o ritie s in v ario u s co u n tries, 
prosecutors said.

The indictm ent alleged that bin

tives of the government of Iran, the 
National Islamic Front in Sudan and 
an Iranian group, Hezbollah
P ro se c u to rs alleg ed 

th at bin 
L ad en 's o rganization acted on its 
own as well as through other organi­
zations, operating under its umbrella.
Prosecutors identified other orga­
n iz a tio n s as Al Jih a d , an E gy p t- 
based Islamic group led at one time 
by Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, and 
a number of Al Jihad groups in other 
countries, including Sudan, Egypt, 
Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia.

Bin Laden already was indicted 
by a g ran d ju ry in U .S . D is tric t 
Court in Manhattan, but the indict­
ment returned Wednesday directly 
linked him to the em bassy bomb­

ings Aug. 7. The blasts at embassies 
in N a iro b i, K en y a, and D ar es 
Salaam, Tanzania, killed 24 people, 
in c lu d in g 12 A m e rica n s, and 
injured thousands.

The in d ictm en t said five of the 
defendants are charged with m ur­
dering all the civilians killed in the 
two embassy bombings.

The in d ictm en t alleges that bin 
L ad en an d a co m m itte e of h is 
group's members issued fatwahs or 
religious edicts urging other m em ­
bers and associates of the group to 
kill Americans.

in Manhattan with murder conspir­
acy and use of w eapons of m ass 
destruction in an international plot

after ^9 U.S. service personnel were 
killed w hen a bom b exp lod ed in 
June 1996 at a m ilitary apartm ent 
co m p lex in Sau d i A rab ia. T h e re 
were suspicions that bin Laden was 
linked with the attack.

Voters approve plan 
for baseball stadium

Ryan Trujillo
Daily Texan Staff

Baseball fans in central Texas will 
be able to root for N olan R y an 's 
Round Rock Express in two years, 
as a p ro p o sa l to p a rtly p ay fo r 
building a 7,500 seat stadium was 
approved Tuesday by Round Rock 
voters.

Because half of the projected $13 
million stadium was to be paid for 
by the city 's hotel-m otel tax, five 
Round Rock residents began a peti­
tion drive last April which brought 
the decision to allocate m oney for 
the stadium to a voter referendum.

The measure passed with 73 per­

cent of the vote.

Nolan Ryan, former Ranger and 
Astro fastballer who holds the Major 
League career strikeout record, said 
the ow ners looked at A ustin and 
Georgetown before choosing to base 
the team in Round Rock.

Ryan, who is now a Texas Parks 
and W ild life C om m issioner, said 
the team should unify Austin and 
its surrounding areas.

"It'S going to be affordable sum­
mer fam ily entertainm ent w hich I 
think has been missing in this area," 
he said.

Ryan added that the team would 
consid er o p p o rtu n ities to co o rd i­
n ate ev e n ts w ith th e L o n g h o rn 
Baseball team in the future.

"W e w ould like to think that if 
the Longhorns want to host a larger 
tournament then our facility would 
be available, that's a possibility we 
might explore," he said.

Although Ryan said he will not 
have any hands on responsibility in 
m an ag in g th e team — w h ich is 
owned by Nolan Ryan, his son Reid 
Ryan, and H ou ston B usinessm an 
Don San d ers — he said fans can 
expect him to be in attendance for 
the first game of a long awaited sea­
son in April, 2000.

S in ce p u rch a sin g the Ja ck so n 
(Mississippi) Generals in April, the 
owners have been looking to relocate 
the team in central Texas, and Reid 
Ryan said the Austin area will bene­
fit from the new AA Club team. The 
ballclub will be part of the Houston 
Astros minor league system.

"W e'll employ more than 200 sea­
sonal employees a year, but the sur­
round ing b u sin esses w ill b en efit 
from this too," he said.

The owners are currently in the

But while Don H ansen, president 
of 
H o te l-M o te l 
Association, said he's in favor of the 
new stadium , he strongly objects to 
it being funded by the motel tax.

C ities are allow ed to tax hotel- 
m otels up to 7 percent for prom ot­
ing tourism , the convention center 
and the hotel industry. H enson said 
the city is using this law as a loop­
hole to use those funds for the city 
to buy the stadium .

" W h e n it b e c o m e s a p u b lic ly

"That was the first tim e anything

In space flights, drugs injected in

"In space flight, after a period of

"I really sen se a beg in n in g of a

White court isn’t justice for all

Briefing attorneys, or court clerks, 
have a lot of power in Texas, in this 
country and over all of our lives. These 
clerks play a critical role in a justice sys­
tem that is supposed to be fair and 
impartial. But in a country where 13 per­
cent of black men could not vote in this 
week's elections because they are con­
victed felons, it is hard to believe that 
justice is blind when it comes to race or 
ethnicity. This is where the clerks, who 
are mostly white and mostly male, 
become an issue.

A series of reports printed earlier this 
year in USA Today showed that "of the 
394 clerks picked by the current nine jus­
tices, three out of four have been men, 
and the vast majority have been white." 
The articles revealed the power these 
clerks have. They look through many 
cases and summarize those they feel are 
worth hearing in a memo to the justices.
The justices then select cases to accept 
based on these memos. The clerks also 
write first drafts of opinions. Some for­
mer clerks were quoted as saying that 
justices usually only make minor revi­
sions to these drafts. Kweisi Mfume, the

president of the NAACP, and other 
demonstrators went to the steps of the 
U.S. Supreme Court to protest the lack of 
people of color in these powerful clerk 
positions last month. He and 18 others 
were arrested when they crossed police 
lines.

Such inequity is also visible at the 
state level. The same responsibilities and 
the same lack of ethnic and racial repre­
sentation can be seen in the briefing 
attorneys for the Texas Supreme Court 
and Court of Criminal Appeals.

A human rights report recently issued 
by the Texas Civil Rights Project found 
that more than 87 percent of briefing 
attorneys in the Texas Supreme Court 
are Caucasian-Anglo, even though this 
group makes up only 50 percent of the 
general Texas population. Meanwhile, 
Hispanic-Latinos, who make up more 
than 25 percent, account for only 4 per­

cent of the briefing attorneys in the 
Texas Supreme Court.

This report isn't the first to criticize 
Texas courts for a lack of diversity. Two 
years ago, the Texas Commission on 
Judicial Efficiency found similar prob­
lems and suggested several changes, 
which the courts never enacted. In its 
report, the TCRP asked "Can a court 
that is not committed to equal employ­
ment opportunities be a court that is 
really committed to equality under the 
law?"

The courts are supposed to treat all 
people before them equally and without 
bias. But few would argue that the 
courts actually operate in this fashion — , 
certainly not all of them, all of the time. 
When bias plays a role, race or ethnicity 
may be a key decision-making factor. 
Something as simple as a defendant's 
appearance may still play a role in 
deciding a sentence. "Does the defen­
dant look like my son or daughter?" the 
judge may unconsciously ask himself. 
The higher courts — which face deci­
sions about racial harassment, affirma­
tive action, school vouchers, and welfare

reform may also have problems with 
racial or ethnic bias. It is unlikely that 
these decisions can be fair and just, 
when those with judicial power are 
mostly white, mostly male and mostly 
wealthy.

Since these clerks have such power, 
their racial and ethnic makeup should 
somewhat resemble that of America at 
large. The lack of people of color in these 
positions means that many minority 
lawyers are not benefiting from an 
opportunity that often leads to well- 
paid, prestigious positions in the future. 
The UT School of Law, which Texas 
courts depend on for many of their 
clerks, is partly to blame for not produc­
ing enough minority lawyers. Perhaps 
the courts should look more often to 
schools like the University of Houston 
Law Center, which has a more diverse 
student body, for equally-qualified 
attorneys. Ultimately, something must 
be done by the courts, by the schools, 
and by all of us, or justice will continue 
to suffer at every level.

What happened to just holding the door open?

Last month, 84 students in the 
College of Liberal Arts shelled out 
$10 each for a formal dinner and 
seminar from an "etiquette consul­
tant" to teach them "Corporate 
Dining Etiquette." No, it's not a 
joke. Apparently, there are dining 
faux pas so grievous that potential 
employers will shred your resume 
with their cocktail forks lest you 
err.

this semester. With 

According to the career services 
office, this etiquette seminar was 
such a hit last year that they did it 
again 
the 
exception of international students 
whose traditional eating habits 
that are markedly different from 
those in the U.S., it's difficult to 
understand the mania of those who

Amy Strahan
ASSOCIATE EDITOR

simply feel uncouth.

The four-course meal, organized 
by Liberal Arts Career Services, 
taught students the basics of what 
utensils to use and amused the 
crowd with anecdotes about social 
blunders. Handouts from the semi­
nar give tips on introductions and 
the finer points of a good hand­
shake. (For those interested, it is 
important to extend your hand 
toward another vertically with 
your thumb up.) It is also impor­
tant to wear your nametag on the

right, not the left.

Many students assume 

their 
biggest worry in a job interview is 
convincing a prospective boss that 
they know what they're talking 
about. Not so, according to Smart 
Manners, Smart Business, a flier dis­
tributed by career services.Topics 
that "evoke opinions or emotions" 
are to be avoided in conversation, 
so politics and religion are out. 
Regaling your host with anecdotes 
about a personal hobby — enu 
breeding, perhaps — is just fine. 
Discussion of current events must 
also be censored to ensure that 
only "positive news" is discussed* 
and have a seat left-cheek-first at 
the dining table, not the other way 
around.

Eifher UT students are cretins or 
some of us are just a tad anal reten­
tive. What's happened to the days 
when holding the door for some­
one and chewing^with your mouth 
closed was enough to make you 
presentable in civilized company?

Those of us who have had the 
misfortune of sitting at a multi­
course meal with a couple of suits 
can tell you it's no picnic. Some­
times you have to think fast. Wheat 
roll or rye? Nod and a smile, or 
nod only? White wine or red? Eat 
the entire slice of cheesecake or just 
nibble? (For women, it's safe to say 
that eating one-fourth to half of 
everything on your jálate gives the 
impression that you're "ladylike" 
enough to eat lightly, without

causing your companions to sus­
pect you've got an eating disor­
der.) Yes, the hazards of fine din­
ing should keep us awake at night.
Seriously, manners are pretty 
simple for most of us. No belching, 
no slurping, and never ask your 
host "are you gonna finish that?"

But for those barbarians who feel 
they need a little lesson in man­
ners, here are more tips:

• Fish forks are generally found 
on the far left of the dining service. 
If there are too many forks to 
count, let your host start eating 
and follow h is/h er lead. Try not to 
stare.

• The dessert knife, fork and 
spoon are behind your plate. 
Hopefully whatever it is w on't

require all three utensils.

• The sherry glass is generally 
the smallest glass in front of you, 
not to be confused with the red and 
white wine glasses and the water 
goblet. Asking for sherry at the 
start of a meal is generally a bad 
idea.

• Never arrive at a dinner or lun­

cheon hungry.

• If you're not sure what to 
wear, don't hesitate to ask. It's 
rude to inquire whether certain 
attire makes your butt look big.

• If you bring wine to be served 
with a meaj, make sure it is chilled 
and not of the boxed variety.

FIRING-LINE

Perry won highest office

In response to "Viewpoint: Bush 
2000?" 
in The Daily Texan on 
Wednesday (11/4), what are you 
talking .about? First of all, President 
Johnson (who wasn't elected to the 
presidency) and President Bush 
(who was never a Texas politician, 
he just claimed Texas for the tax 
breaks) don't really represent presi­
dents from the Lone Star State. So, 
Governor Bush would actually be a 
first. And the reason a governor 
from Texas has never been president 
is because it is a powerless and fig­
ure head position. More important­
ly, everyone knows the lieutenant 
governor has the most power in 
Texas politics, so why would Perry 
becoming governor be a bad thing? I 
agree that the only reason Perry was 
elected is because he held Bush's 
hand the whole way. I also agree that 
Sharp is better suited for the posi­
tion, but if you should cry about any­
thing, it would be that Perry is lieu­
tenant governor now, not future 
governor when Bush leaves. The 
only significance of Texas governor 
is representing his party and lobby­
ing for various bills. Any ordinary 
politician, including Rick Perry, can 
do this job. So before you cry about 
election outcomes, think about what

is really going on and what the con­
sequences really are.

Third choice

I know the Election Guide '98 
(Daily Texan 2nd & 3rd of Novem­
ber) does not claim to be complete, 
but I wonder why no third party 
candidates were questioned or 
allowed to have their platforms pre­
sented in The Daily Texan. It is this 
kind of incomplete election report­
ing and media coverage that perpet­
uates the feeling voters have that 
their only choices are between the 
candidates that can raise and spend 
the most money. No wonder voter 
turnout is so low. Voters do have 
other choices.

Health Center Darwinism
In response to Roahn Wynar's edi­
torial, "Nursing, Informal Classes 
Win!", let me first say that 1 couldn't 
agree with him more. Austin is the 
Southwest's mecca for off-the-wall 
ideas, but for a state university to

teach that garbage is pure silliness.

With that said, I have absolutely 
no problem with people who choose 
to take mystical medicine seriously. 
You see, there is a scientific term 
relating to those who prefer nean­
derthal health care over modem 
medicine: natural selection. If some­
one wants to weed him/herself out 
of the gene pool by rubbing crystals 
on his/her body instead of visiting 
the doctor, I say go right ahead. Then 
again, considering my past experi­
ences at the Student Health Center, 
that Energy Healing idea doesn't 
sound so bad.

lg Nobel prize winner

Okay, so every year at some point 
in time some lame Texan columnist 
with nothing better to write about 
decides to bitch and moan about the 
Informal Classes program, wasting 
precious (HA!) editorial space. This 
year I would like to present Roahn 
Wynar with the Ig Nobel prize for 
most pointless editorial. Get a life! Is 
it your bounded duty as reporter to 
inform the public about such an 
apparently obvious sham? Is this 
what keeps you up late at night

Roahn? Are you afraid some poor 
unsuspecting student (apparently a 
stupid one to you, if they can be 
drawn in by such blatant BS) is going 
to pay for a class of their own free 
will, that may just maybe give them 
some sort of help they feel they 
need? Why not devote an article to 
all the religions ouf there? Aren't 
they based on the same sort of 
quackery the Informal Classes are? 
I'm not going to rail on jjpur conclu­
sions because I also doubt that a little 
water and bark is going to grow hair, 
but find something better to do with 
your time than worrying about the 
potential hazards of Informal Class­
es. There is a large election that just 
occurred, perhaps you have some­
thing to say about that. So go home 
Roahn, sit down in your little think­
ing chair and think, think, think 
happy thoughts, and maybe one day 
you too can have happy little Roahn 
mo’ecules. You ol' quack you.

Affirmative athletics

I would like to know why no one 
has responded in any real way to the 
editorial written by Rodney Lewis in 
The Daily Texan on Nov. 3. Is it true 
that we as loyal Texas fans don't give

a damn about the fact that in just 
about every class we attend, we have 
about one or two African-Americans 
there, if we're lucky? I'm sure that 
most of you don't give a damn. 
Everyone's quick to defend his 
thoughts by claiming that unquali­
fied people don't deserve to sit in on, 
let's say, a French class with students 
who have good grades and can take 
a test well. But these same people are 
quick to defend affirmative action 
policies used by this university to 
allow athletes to enter with lower 
than average GPA's and test scores. 
They defend these thoughts by 
claiming that these athletes are not 
let in because of their race, but 
because they have attributes that 
enrich the student body on campus. 
Now lets analyze this. Are we not 
claiming that the reason we are not 
allowing African-Americans to enter 
this school is because the lack of pre­
paredness will prevent them from 
doing will in this school? Are not 
these "objective" indicators in the 
form of standardized 
test and 
GPA's? Of course they are! So how , 
could any reasonable person argue 
that an afilíete with lower than aver­
age "objective" indicators is quali­
fied to attend this university, and the 
non-athlete is not? Will not both fail? 
this
The only 

reason behind 

hypocrisy is racism. Administrators 
and fans alike only want blacks here 
if they can run with a ball to make 
the school money, and entertain 
those loyal fans of Texas.

Staff ‘shut down’ pondered in wage war

Suzannah Creech
Daily Texan Staff

U n iv e r s ity S ta ff A s s o c ia tio n 
m em b ers d iscu ssed th e ir on g o in g 
effort to raise staff salaries up to the 
m a rk e t a v e ra g e at th e ir m e e tin g 
W ed n esd ay — in clu d in g o ne p ro ­
posal to hold a "v irtu al staff s h u t­
dow n."

S taff A sso c ia tio n m e m b e r Bob 
A m brosino su g g ested th a t staffers 
could p articipate in a v irtu al sh u t­
dow n, in w hich the staff association 
w ould Simulate w hat w ould happen 
if the U niversity staff w alked out.

The id ea b e h in d th e sh u td o w n , 
A m brosino said, is that the U niver­
s ity c a n n o t fu n c tio n w ith o u t the 
staff, and that a lot of tim es the staff

is taken for granted.

For example, staff m em bers could 
s h u t d o w n UT W eb p a g e s fo r a 
short period of time or p u t "O ut of 
O rder" signs on bathroom doors on 
cam pus, A m brosino said.

"It w ould be a pow erful expres­
sion if w e c o u ld do it u n iv e rsity - 
wide," he said.

A m brosino a d d ed th a t w hile the 
sh utdow n w o u ld n 't be a real w alk­
out, it w ould dem onstrate how criti­
cal the staff is to the University and 
hopefully generate allies.

A n y a c tu a l w a lk o u t by s ta te 
e m p lo y ees is p ro h ib ite d by Texas 
law.

T he s ta ff a s s o c ia tio n has b e e n 
petitioning the U niversity for h ig h ­

e r w a g e s sin c e a n i n d e p e n d e n t 
s tu d y re le a s e d la s t y e a r sh o w e d 
th a t 94 p e rc e n t of UT sta ffe rs are 
paid below the A ustin m arket aver­
age.

Peg Kramer, president of the staff 
a s s o c ia tio n , s a id th e s h u td o w n 
w ould be a great idea, ad d in g that 
sh e 'd like to see the organization do
more.

Such ex trem e m e a su re s m ay be 
necessary if the association is to con­
tin u e m aking h eadw ay in the staff 
salary issue, K ram er said.

"W e're not just going to have ra d ­
ical actions for th e sake of h aving 
ra d ic a l a c tio n s," she said. "B ut if 
th e y 're still n ot liste n in g to us, if 
th e y 're still say in g w e d o n 't have

enough m oney, it m eans w e've got 
to express our frustrations."

S ta ff a s s o c ia tio n m e m b e r Bob 
Jensen, w ho is one of six UT facul­
ty m e m b e rs to join th e o rg a n iz a ­
tion, agreed th at if the a d m in istra ­
tion is not listening, the association 
n e e d s to m ak e its co n c e rn s m o re 
visible.

"The case has been m ade rational­
ly w ith evidence," Jensen said. "But 
w hen you've m et the requirem ents 
for m aking a logical case w ith evi­
dence for actions to restore justice, 
y o u d o w h a t p e o p le h a v e d o n e 
th ro u g h o u t h isto ry — you use the 
pow er of the people."

O ne concrete step the staff associ­
ation is taking will be a "Staff Speak

O u t" r a lly on th e W e st M all on 
N o v .12. T he ra lly is in te n d e d to 
allow staff to sp e a k o u t ab o u t th e 
salary issue and how it has affected 
them.

"It's a m atter of rem in d in g staff 
this really is a crisis," K ram er said. 
"It's n ot ju st a b o u t w ages, it's the 
w ay we are still an afterthought. W e 
are still invisible and th ere's ab o u t 
10,000 of us."

K ram er said she hopes the rally 
will help draw m ore students, facul­
ty and staff to the cause.

The association currently has 106 
members, w hich is twice as high as 
its m em bership as of its last m eeting 
in October.

W h ile m e m b e r s h ip h a s ris e n , 
Kram er and other association m em ­

bers em phasized the need to contin­
ue to increase m em bersh ip am ong 
both the staff and students

"W e n eed for stu d e n ts to speak 
up about w hat it m eans for them for 
s ta f f to b e t r e a t e d so p o o r ly ," 
K ra m e r s a id . " W e 'r e all in th is 
to g eth er. If th e re is inju stice h a p ­
p e n in g to o n e g ro u p of p eo p le on 
cam pus it affects students in a vari­
ety of ways."

T he sta ff w ag e issu e can affect 
s tu d e n ts th r o u g h a r e d u c tio n in 
quality of services, reduction in pro­
d u ctiv ity a n d low m orale, K ram er 
said.

UT President Larry Faulkner will 
address the group at its next meet­
ing Dec. 3.

W w We need to be vigilant about managing 
our growth in a way where we don’t kill the goose 
that laid the golden egg.”

A fter A u stin v oters ap p ro v ed 
$712.4 m illion in bonds Tuesday, 
local officials said the 12 proposi­
tions are a step in the right direction 
for the city.

The a p p ro v ed b on d p ack a g e 
includes money for improving city 
infrastructure, road repair, public 
parks, libraries, museums and traf­
fic light synchronization.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said 
the measures will improve the stan­
dard of living for Austin residents 
by investing in and repairing local 
infrastructure.

"We need to be v igilan t about 
m a n a g in g our g ro w th in a w ay 
where w e don't kill the goose that 
laid the golden egg," Watson said. 
"Because of the influx of people and 
the increased growth, w e need to 
grow in a w ay that m aintains the 
qualities of life that w e love while 
seizing the new opportunities."

One of the propositions will go to 
repair dilapidated roads throughout 
the city which have been neglected 
in the 80s and 90s, said City Coun- 
cilmember Bill Spelman.

Spelman said repaving som e of 
the most heavily traveled streets — 
rather than b u ild in g brand new 
roads that lead to u n d e v e lo p e d 
areas — is a good example of using 
taxpayers money efficiently.

"In the long run, it's going to save 
the ta x p ayers a lot o f m o n ey in 
addition to improving those roads," 
Spelman said.

The p rop osition for im proving 
city roads also earmarks funds for 
traffic light synchronization.

The money will go to providing a 
central location for controlling the 
a c tiv ity of all city traffic lig h ts, 
w h ic h w ill h elp the city m ake 
ad ju stm en ts for ch an gin g traffic 
p a tte r n s, said C o u n cilm em b er 
Daryl Slusher.

"We just have a decrepit synchro­

nization system," Slusher said.

Another approved bond proposal 
will give $75.9 million to construct 
and improve neighborhood parks.

Spelman said the m easure — in 
addition to building and restoring 
four city parks -r- w ill give many 
suburban creeks a facelift and make 
them more attractive to residents.

"We'll be able to treat our subur­
ban creeks in the same w ay that we 
treat Barton Creek," he said.

Slusher said the parks that will be 
built as a result of the approved 
b on d s w ill help g iv e children in 
lower-incom e neighborhoods more 
places to play.

Fire, police and em ergency ser­
vice stations will also receive $54.6 
million to improve communication 
between different units — like the 
c o u n ty sh e r iff and the p o lic e 
department — when responding to 
accidents, Spelman said.

"If it's an em ergency, w e 'll be 
able to get someone there quicker," 
he said. "They all need to talk to

— Mrk Watson, Austin Mayor

each oth er, and th e y 'll h av e a 
chance to do that."

Voters also approved a renova­
tion of Palmer auditorium by pass­
ing propositions 11 and 12 in the 
ele c tio n . The ren ova tion w ill be 
funded through a car rental tax.

Spelman said the renovation will 
turn the auditorium into a much 
m ore desirable place for the local 
sy m p h o n y , the b a llet, th e local 
opera and other theatrical groups.

Slusher said he was happy with 
the results of the election and said 
voters have allowed the city to ful­
fill its basic needs while catching up 
on unmet goals.

"I think the voters saw the w is­
dom in investing in the future of the 
city," he said.

O ther infrastructure im p r o v e ­

because the enhancem ents will be 
located inside the city rather than 
the outskirts, Spelman said.

"The operating assumption we're 
m ak in g is that w e w an t to keep 
p e o p le c lo se in rather than fuel

Democrats looking to rebound after GOP sweep

Jennifer Pollack
Daily Texan Staff

A fter lo sin g several statew id e 
offices in T u esd ay's election , the 
Texas Democratic Party is trying to 
recoup from the d efea t and w ill 
focus on rebuilding in time for the 
2000 elections.

M olly Beth Malcolm, Democratic 
party chair, attributed the losses to 
Gov. George W. Bush's w ide coat­
tails, and said it does not indicate 
growing support for the Republican 
Party in the state.

"The 1998 elections were a one- 
man mandate, not a one-party man­
date," Malcolm said in a statement 
Wednesday. "The mandate for Gov. 
B ush w as b u ilt on a m e ssa g e of 
b ip artisan sh ip , not a R epublican 
message."

GOP candidates sw ept the seven 
top sta te w id e o ffic e s T u esd a y , 
in cluding the races for governor, 
lieutenant governor, attorney gener­
al and comptroller. Bush defeated

46 The 1998 elections were a one-man man­

date, not a one-party mandate. The mandate for 
Gov. Bush was built on a message of bipartisan­
ship, not a Republican message.”

— Molly Beth Malcolm, Democratic party chair

h is D em o cra tic o p p o n e n t Garry 
Mauro by a landslide margin of 69 
percent to 31 percent.

M alcolm said Bush's cam paign 
did not reflect a Republican plat­
form, but urged the need for the 
political parties to work together.

"The r esu rg en ce o f the T exas 
Democratic Party begins today ... 
and starting in the year 2000 we're 
going to give him more Democrats 
to work with," Malcolm said.

But Brad M adden, chairman of 
Young Conservatives of Texas, a UT 
student group, said w h ile Bush's

popularity garnered som e Republi­
can votes, the rest of the party's 
ticket was also strong.

"A lot of people looked to Gov. 
Bush as som eone they respected, 
and h is su p p o rt carried som e 
weight," said M adden, a Republi­
can. "But I also think that people 
saw very strong conservative candi­
dates that they could support."

After his victory Tuesday night, 
Bush said his overw h elm in g w in 
w as due to a new brand of "com­
passionate conservatism," which he 
hopes will unite the party and bring

new people into the GOP.

But State Rep. Elliott Naishtat, D- 
Austin, who handily won his bid for 
re-election, said because some of the 
election results were so close, they 
do not show a strong lean towards 
the Republican party.

"The Democratic Party in Texas is 
in m uch better sh ap e than m ost 
people think," Naishtat said. "Two 
of the statewide elections — namely 
those for lieutenant governor and 
c o m p tr o lle r — w ere e x tr e m ely 
close."

The races for lieutenant governor 
and comptroller were both decided 
by less than three percent of the 
vote.

Naishtat said the party will now 
focus on its strengths and message 
of helping low- and middle-income 
Texas families to recapture a majori­
ty of the voters in the next election.

Gramm likely to head Senate committee

Associated Press

W A SH IN G T O N — A lfo n se 
D 'A m a to 's lo ss is P hil G ram m 's 
gain.

D'Amato's defeat in a brutal New 
York Senate race paves the w ay for 
Gramm to ascend to the h elm of 
the Senate Banking, H ou sin g and 
Urban Affairs Committee next year, 
givin g the 14-year Senate veteran 
his first committee chairmanship.

The Texas Republican, w ho cur­
rently chairs Banking's securities 
subcommittee, pledged Wednesday 
to "do everything in m y power to be 
a worthy steward of the chairman­
ship."

"The Senate Banking Committee 
exercises broad jurisdiction over the

economic life of our country, and I 
have long believed that above all, 
the chairman m ust recognize that 
the com m ittee's actions reach far 
b eyon d the sim p le reg u lation of 
financial institutions," said Gramm, 
a form er Texas A&M e c o n o m ics 
professor. "Our decisions touch the 
lives and pocketbooks of real, work­
ing American families."

Instrumental this year in killing a 
GOP-crafted bill designed to over­
hau l th e n a tio n 's b an k in g law s, 
Gramm said it w ould be an "obvi­
ous priority" of the com m ittee to 
revisit the issue next year.

The se c u r itie s and in su ran ce 
industries, in particular, have been 
clam oring for an overhaul of the

n a tio n 's fin an cial se r v ic e s law s, 
seeking to lift Depression-era barri­
ers that block them from m erging 
with banks. But Gramm, joined by a 
few other Republicans, derailed the 
legislation in a dispute over federal 
community-lending rules.

G ram m , w h o has n ever b een 
accused of being overly bipartisan, is 
stressing a new willingness to work 
with Democrats on the committee as 
w ell as in the Clinton adm inistra­
tion. In reforming the banking laws, 
he said, "I want to solicit the input 
and help of everyone."

Beyond serious legislative issues, 
he has shown a willingness to inject 
some levity into the Banking arena.

Upon hearing last week that New

York Gov. George Pataki was cau­
tioning voters that N ew York's clout 
would head south to Texas if D'Am­
ato lost, Gramm fired off a tongue- 
in-cheek letter to the governor.

Joking that he w ou ld m ove the 
N ew York Stock Exchange to Texas 
and rename it the "New N ew York 
Stock Exchange of Dallas," Gramm 
pledged that New York could keep 
the NASDAQ. "I wouldn't want to 
seem g reed y," he sa id . H e also 
p ro m ised a w arm w e lc o m e for 
P ataki's co n stitu e n ts at the new 
" Salom on Bros, of El Paso" and 
"Merri 11-Lynch-Lubbock."

"And of course y'all are welcome 
to come and visit with them-any old 
time," he said. 

.

and the Republicans' ability to raise 
more money were all factors in the 
Democratic losses.

Democrats were outspent in most 
statewide races because there are no 
cam p aign co n trib u tion lim its in 
Texas, Dupre said.

"When you have that sort of a 
d isa d v a n ta g e it is hard for your 
message to be heard over what was 
a persuasive Republican m isinfor­
mation campaign," Dupre said. "I 
think it show s a need for a change 
in the election process in Texas."

Ventura body-slams conventional politics

^ sociated Press

S T . P A U L , M in n . — Je s s e " T h e 
B od y " V entura's election as governor 
\it M in n e s o ta 's p o litical e sta b lis h ­
ment like the piledriver move the for­
mer p ro fe ss io n a l w re stle r u sed to 
n flict on his hap less op p on en ts in 
h e ring.

In an Election Night N itro perfor­
m ance, the sco w lin g , b a ld -h e a d ed 
Ventura, running as the candidate of 
the Reform Party, body-slam m ed the 
two m ajor party7 candidates: H ubert 
H um phrey III, the Dem ocratic attor­
ney general for the past 16 years and 
son of the late V ice President H ubert

Humphrey, and Republican St. Paul 
Mayor Norm Coleman.

"Anyone who tells you they pre­
dicted that this was going to happen 
with Jesse Ventura is lying. This is 
something totally outside the norm," 
state GOP executive director Tony 
Sutton said. He w as "absolu tely 
shocked" by Ventura's victory.

Democratic state Chairman Dick 
Senese said he was baffled as to what 
his party could have done better.

On Wednesday morning, the gov­
ernor-elect brushed aside questions 
of how he would govern without a 
single member of his party in the 
Legislature or a stock of experienced 
party leaders to appoint to the 
administration.

With the bluster of a pro wrestler, 
he said: "This isn't defying death, 
this is simply common sense and 
logic."

As for his plans over the next few 
weeks, Ventura, a volunteer high 
school football coach, wisecracked: 
"I'm not sure at this point. I couldn't 
even tell you what our game plan is 
for Blaine [High] on Friday night."

He immediately broke one of his 
less-than-serious campaign promises: 
He did not rappel into the state Capi­
tol from a helicopter.

And about that pledge to try to 
return about $1,000 in taxes to every­
one in Minnesota? It didn't sound 
like the check would be in the mail at 
his first Capitol news conference as 
governor-elect. A sleep-deprived 
Ventura muttered, "O h , sheesh" 
when asked about it.

As the 6-foot-4, 250-pound Ventu­
ra grappled with the details of lead­
ership, some people sounded unsure 
whether the state was in the grips of 
a half-Nelson, full-Nelson, or Ozzie 
and Harriet Nelson.

President C linton offered his 
thoughts on Ventura's election with a 
chuckle: "I don't know — I think that 
you're going to have a lot of politi­
cians spending time in gyms now."

Although Ventura's election might 
trouble some people in the state of 
Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mon-

Reform Party gubernatorial candidate Jesse Ventura raises the arm of his rutfning mate M aye Schunk in hope of victory Tues­
day. Ventura defeated Republican Norm Coleman and Democratic candidate Hubert Humphrey III to take the governorship.

dale, he wouldn't be its first gover­
nor to raise eyebrows nationally. 
Gov. Rudy Perpich, a dentist by 
training, was dubbed "G overnor 
G o o fy " by N ew sw eek in 1990. 
Among other things, Perpich used to 
make citizen's arrests of speeding 
motorists.

The 47-year-old Ventura — an 
actor, talk radio host and former sub­
urban mayor and Navy SEAL — is, 
like retiring GOP Gov. Arne Carlson, 
a fiscal conservative and social mod­
erate. Both support abortion rights 
and homosexual rights. Ventura also 
supports legal recognition of gay 
relationships. And he suggested the 
state look into legalizing prostitution.
The Republicans took control of 
the Minnesota House in Tuesday's 
election, and the Dem ocrats held 
onto the Senate.

"If this was Europe, maybe we'd 
say he's going to run a coalition gov­
ernment," said Steven Smith, a Uni­
versity of Minnesota political science 
professor.

That three-way power split may

work in Ventura's favor, Carleton' 
College political science professor 
Steven Schier said. "One party has a 
lot to lose by not working with the 
next governor," Schier said.

Ventura's victory defied the pun­
dits who said the people most likely 
to support him — young voters — 
were u nlikely to turn out. Exit 
polling showed they did. In fact, 
about one in eight voters said they 
might have skipped the election if 
Ventura wasn't on the ballot.

His core support, according to the 
exit polls, was voters under 30, and 
also included many self-described 
independents.

Overall turnout was projected at 
63 percent of eligible voters, much 
heavier than expected and due at 
least in part to the excitement Ventu­
ra created.

An entertainer by trade, Ventura 
outshone the others at debates. He 
spent only about one-sixth of the $2 
million spent by each of his rivals, 
but had money at the end for clever 
commercials when it counted.

Ventura, who was known to strut 
around the ring with a feather boa 
during his wrestling heyday in the 
1970s and '80s, flexed his bulging 
biceps where necessary and showed 
up at one forum in black jeans, a 
camouflage shirt and the Australian 
bush hat with snakeskin band he 
w ore in the m ovie " P r e d a to r ." 
Humphrey and Coleman wore suits.

"They ended up being perfect foils 
for the vivid V entura. Every act 
needs a straight man. Jesse had two," 
Schier said.

Chris Gilbert, a political science 
professor at Gustavus Adolphus Col­
lege, said everything went right for 
Ventura and "Humphrey and Cole­
man did not give people enough rea­
sons to make them governor."

With victory belonging to Ventura, 
he m ade it clear he w ants to be 
known from now on as "The Mind," 
not "T h e Body," his moniker as a 
professional wrestling bad boy.

"I don't make my living with my 
body anymore. I make it with my 
mind," he said.

Britain starting to stay up late

Associated Press

LONDON — It never claimed to 

be the city that doesn't sleep.

Still, you might have thought it a 
snap in the capital of "Cool Britan­
nia" to order a martini after 11 p.m., 
catch the subway home and then 
stop off at your local supermarket 
before walking in your front door.

Good luck.
Because in London, and the rest of 
England, the presumption that peo­
ple will be tucked in .bed by the time 
the clock strikes midnjght is slowly 
being consigned to'history, nudged 
along by the American influence of 
round-the-clock service.

M ore and more segm ents of 
Britain are staying awake outside 
banker's hours, though you some­
times have to look hard to spot them. 
But. old habits are taking a long time 
to die.

"It is horrible — but don't get me 
started," Gail Roslyn, 31, said of the 
early closing hours as she sucked on 
a cigarette in central London. "They 
treat us like children."

Although there are rumbles about 
eventually allowing cities to set their 
own hours, licen sin g laws still 
require most pubs to close at 11 p.m. 
every day but Sunday, when they 
must shut at 10:30 p.m.

The London subway system, or 
/the "Tube" as it is known, runs its 
last train through the underground 
tunnels about 1 a.m. most nights.

And forget about dashing to the 
supermarket to satisfy a nocturnal

snack attack. Although more mar­
kets are staying open later now, the 
vast m ajority will be closed by 6 
p.m., as will dry cleaners, pharma­
cies and other service shops.

Outside London, the situation is 

even more pronounced.

In Lym e Regis, a sm all tourist 
community on England's southwest 
coast, for example, the main grocery 
store proudly boastsH ate-n igh t 
hours: It stays open until 8 p.m.

"There has always been a moraliz­
ing slant in English life — a tradi­
tional way of doing things that isn't 
easily changed," said John M ont­
gomery of Urban Cultures Ltd., a 
planning and design firm.

But merchants who have experi­
mented with extended hours say 
their customers love them.

A survey this summer of 20 areas 
in England and Wales by London 
consultants Healey & Baker found 
that half the shops were now open 
seven days a week, com pared to 
only one-third last year.

Lakeside Shopping Center, a 320- 
store complex in southeast England, 
decided in September to permanent­
ly extend its closing hours from 8 
p.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays to Fridays.

"We are seeing a lot of young pro­
fessionals who work in central Lon­
don, get home and now still have 
time for three or four hours of shop­
ping," general manager Richard Belt 
said.

Similarly, Tesco and other large 
supermarket chains say customers 
are demanding more flexibility

about when they buy their groceries, 
so many now provide at least limited 
24-hour service.

"I don't think it will ever go back 
to the way it w as," said Yvonne

A government panel has even rec­

LONGHORN FOOTBALL NOTES

s' ; Oklahoma St. vs. Texas IfcjT

294 and counting...
■ During his historic run for the 
NCAA career rushing record, UT 
tailback Ricky Williams can be seen 
on television, heard about on the 
radio, and even seen on T-shirts.

But this apparently hasn't been 
enough for Orangebloods, as the 
near-lock for the Heisman Trophy 
has found his way onto yet anoth­
er medium this week — billboards.
Displayed prominently at Inter­
state 35 and Dean Keeton Street, a 
sign featuring Texas and Reebok 
logos reads "Run, #34, Run." It is 
accompanied by a counter that 
shows how many yards Williams 
needs to break former Pittsburgh 
tailback Tony Dorsett's record.

While he appreciates the amount 
of attention his star running back 
receives, Texas head coach Mack 
Brown suggests that there might 
be another use for the billboard.

"There's no pressure on that kid, 
is there?" Brown said. "That puts a 
little subtle pressure on the offense 
too, doesn't it? Maybe I'll have

them work on the higher field
tomorrow and face it all evening."

can't afford to play half-way. They 
need to come out tomorrow and 
have a good practice."

Where'd the '0' go?
■ If there's one thing that Texas 
has excelled at almost all season, 
it's moving the football.

The Longhorns have been amass­
ing acreage at an astonishing rate, 
and currently rank among the 
nation's elite in almost every statis­
tical category. The Horns haven't 
faced a dry spell since a seven-point 
effort at Kansas State Sept. 19.

That is, until Wednesday night.
Brown said that he was unim­
pressed by the lack of intensity 
that his offensive squad had dur­
ing the midweek practice, and is 
hoping that he won't see an encore 
presentation Thursday night.

"The offense had a poor prac­
tice," Brown said. "At the begin­
ning they were playing half-way, 
but I thought they picked it up 
towards the end. They've been 
playing well recently, but they still

Unsung hero
■ After UT's gigantic win over 
Nebraska last weekend, people 
jumped at every opportunity to 
dispense credit to just about every­
one wearing white and orange jer­
sey.

But according to Brown, they 
forgot to look at one key person — 
the offensive coordinator.

Greg Davis has done a remark­
able job this season, transforming 
redshirt freshman Major Apple- 
white from a shaky rookie to a 
well-oiled machine.

"G reg Davis probably hasn't 
gotten enough credit for bringing 
along a freshman quarterback," 
Brown said. "Admittedly, Major 
has a great team around him, but it 
still isn't an easy task."

McGwire named AP player of year

Associated Press

NEW YORK — M ark McGwire, 
whose historic home run chase capti­
vated a nation and reinvigorated the 
sport, is The Associated Press Major 
League Baseball Player of the Year.

McGwire beat out Sammy Sosa in 
the race to break Roger Maris' 
homer record and wound up hitting 
an im possible-to-imagine 70.

The St. Louis star shattered the 37- 
year-old mark of 61, a number that 
had become part of American histo­
ry. And he did it with remarkable 
humility, paying respect to Maris' 
family and Sosa throughout the pur­
suit and celebrating with his 10- 
year-old batboy son, Matt.

McGwire received 103 votes in bal­
loting by AP newspaper and broad­
cast members released Wednesday.

Sosa, who hit 66 homers for the Chica­
go Cubs, was second with 80 votes.

Seven other players tied for third 
with one vote each — outfielders Ken 
Griffey Jr. of Seattle, Albert Belle of 
the Chicago White Sox and Eric 
Davis of Baltimore; pitchers Roger 
Clemens of Toronto and Trevor Hoff­
man of San Diego; and shortstops 
Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees 
and Nomar Garciaparra of Boston.

running behind their big offensive 
line with quick tailback Eric Hickson. 
Hickson leads the team in rushing 
with 683 yards on 123 carries.

"They're going to be able to move 
the ball," Roberts said. "I just hope 
that we can at least slow them down a 
little."

Baylor doesn't exactly seem to have 
the kind of defense that could stop 
Kansas State. The Bears' defense is 
rated 105th in the country, allowing 
over 453 yards each week despite the 
fact that the Bears are trying to mold a 
defense similar to Kansas State's.

"We put in their tapes in film ses­
sions to show our kids what they're 
doing because we want our defense to 
play like that," Roberts said. "The 
defense we have is actually just like

theirs except the guys they have run­
ning it are just more talented."

coach Bill Snyder credits his defensive 
line for that.

As for offense, Baylor doesn't fare 
much better. The Bears are 99th in total 
yards and have had little to build 
upon. In fact, the Bears have been so 
inconsistent on offense that Roberts 
has come up with a new formula for 
which quarterback, Odell James or Jer­
maine Alfred, will play which series.

"Basically if one of 'em can get us a 
first down, then we'll leave them out 
there for the next series," Roberts said.
Unfortunately, first downs will not 
be vast against a Kansas State defense 
that is the best in the nation. The Wild­
cats are allowing just 252 yards a 
game and its mn defense is especially 
dominating (giving up on average
only 63.8 yards). Kansas State head

"Obviously everyone loves to talk 
about our outstanding linebackers, 
but it's the guys up front that make it 
happen," he said. "If they don't do 
their job, then the linebackers can't 
make plays."

But even though the numbers indi­
cate a big win for Kansas State, Snyder 
and his team are not taking Baylor 
lightly.

"Baylor is difficult to prepare for 
because we've never played them," 
Snyder said. "Obviously you think 
about they're win over North Caroli­
na State which is impressive since that 
team beat Florida State. So I have no 
doubt that we will have our hands 
full."

sacks and five tackles for loss.

■ MATCHUP: When the Cowboys come calling this Saturday, the Longhorn 
defensive unit will have to deliver its fifth-straight impressive performance 

against the run if the Horns are to continue their five-game win streak. In an 

option offense that excels at spreading the ball around, OSU tailback Nathan 

Simmons has gotten the majority of the carries thus far. It's safe to say that 

whenever quarterback Tony Lindsay isn't keeping the ball himself, Simmons 

w ill be the man to stop. Texas w ill call upon its senior leader to keep Sim­

mons and Co. contained, and Renfro has been more than up to the challenge 

in recent weeks. He has recorded double-digit tackles in each of the last two 

games, and w ill need another stellar number if the Horns are to be successful. 

But if Simmons breaks into the secondary a few too many times, things could 

get pretty ugly at Royal-Memorial Stadium.

gave up an average of 37 points and 
444 yards during their first five 
games of this year to a force that has 
yielded only 13 points and 249 yards 
per game over the past three con­
tests.

And last Saturday, 

the Horns 
reaped their biggest dividends yet 
from Reese's aggressive, attacking 
philosophy. In what appeared to be a 
mismatch against one of the nation's 
premier offensive machines, Texas' 
defense held Nebraska to an offen­
sive total that was more than 100 
yards below its average, enabling the 
Horns to pull off a 20-16 shocker that 
ended the Huskers' 47-game home 
winning streak.

"Defensively, it's been a miracle 
turnaround, and it's a great credit to 
Coach Reese," Brown said. "Going 
into halftime at UCLA, I wasn't sure 
that we'd win another game."

And to a man, the Texas players 
say that one of the main secrets to 
their newfound success is the fact 
that they feel as prepared as they 
could possibly bje for any game situ­
' j j
ation. 

Senior linebacker Dusty Renfro 
said that in the past, the Horns 
weren't as comfortable on the field, 
mainly because they weren't placed 
in positions where they could make 
stops.

Apparently, that's no longer,, the

case.

"C oach Reese seems to know 
exactly what they're going to run 
before the play," Renfro said. "I 
don't know how he does it, but 
that's what makes him one of the 
best."

"H e's awesome," defensive end 
Aaron Humphrey added. "I feel 
more prepared going into games 
than I have since I've been at Texas."
But before Reese could begin the 
process of building the players' con­
fidence, some extensive shuffling 
had to be done. In an effort to build 
team speed, which the Horns had 
been desperately lacking in the past, 
safeties were moved to linebacker, * 
linebackers were moved to defen­
sive end, and defensive ends were 
moved to tackle.

And in the midst of all this 
gradually

maneuvering, Reese 

earned the respect of his players, 
who learned to appreciate a man 
who had clear goals and didn't pull 
any punches when it came to moti­
vation.

"H e's an honest coach," said 
strong safety Donald McCowen. 
"He'll tell you how he feels, whether 
you like it or not. He wants the 
defense to be perfect, and we respect 
that."

Just by watching Reese in public, 
one would probably find it hard to 
believe that the congenial, easy­
going Springfield, Mo., native is 
even capable of losing his temper.

Day after day, he approaches 
reporters with a slap on the back, 
smiles into the camera and talks for 
as long as anyone wants to listen.

He waxes on about how much he 
enjoys to bake pecan pies, how he 
feelings 
doesn't hold any bad 
toward a former coach who publicly 
bashes him, and other such innocent 
chatter.

But at least one of his players 
seems to subscribe to the theory that 
what you see isn't always what you 
get.

"You're 

tricked," 
getting 
McCowen said, laughing. "We call 
him 'Bull' for a reason. He's a great 
guy, but if you don't perform, you'll 
see the other side."

Reese said he finds it pretty easy 
to maintain his good-natured atti­
tude, but did admit that McCowen 
does have a point about his coach's 
insistence on perfection.

"I like to play around with the 
players, but there comes a time 
when you have to see that it's a busi­
ness," Reese said. "I want them to 
execute the defense, and if they can't 
fight their fannies off, then that's 
when I'm not right by them."

So far, Reese has certainly been 
doing right by his players and Texas 
fans, who are finally starting to look 
the Horns' 
forward 
defense play again. But of course, 
you won't find Reese bragging on 
his troops quite yet.

to seeing 

"If we can come back the next few 
weeks and play well," Reese said, 
"then I can say that we've made 
some progress."

By then, it'll be old news. Just ask 

Nebraska.

entire half in Penders' system.

And while Barnes said that his 
team w on't scrap the idea of run­
ning the floor altogether this sea­
son, he explained that pushing the 
tempo w on't be successful unless 
other facets of the game are taken 
care of first.

"I think we have a chance to be 
a really good open court team, but 
we have to feed that with our 
defense," Barnes said. "O ur guys 
have to buy into the fact that any 
night we play good defense, they 
have a chance to w in."

The H orns' next exhibition, 
against a team of Australian all­
stars, is scheduled for next Wednes­
day at 7 p.m. The regular season 
tips off on Nov. 17 at Houston.

Soccer

Continued from page 9

ing the regular season, Texas' only 
shot at giving Pibulvech his fifth 
Final Four appearance is by win­
ning the Big 12 championship — a 
feat which comes with an automat­
ic berth to the 48-team tournament.
Pibulvech warns that his team 
cannot look past Missouri. For the 
first time in UT soccer history, The 
Longhorns defeated the Tigers (9-8- 
1, 5-5 Big 12) 1-0 Oct. 25 in a perfor­
mance that Pibulvech said was not 
his team's best.

"We didn't have a good game 
against Missouri and so that gives 
us a little bit of motivation," he said. 
"Missouri is a very opportunistic 
'■* “team. We can't make any mistakes 
against Missouri. We need to make 
sure that we're sharp enough to fin­
ish up."

Pibulvech said that he fine-tuned 
his team on Wednesday to make 
them sharper on defense in their 
last practice before the Big 12 Tour­
nament. That fine-tuning was sup- 
osed to inspire the team to work 
arder on defense and other areas 
on the field during the tournament.
And the team definitely seemed 

inspired.

Freshmen Ja Na Jorgensen and 
Abby Gutowski were outwardly 
excited about the tournament. They 
wished to continue the surge that 
the team experienced over the past 
few weeks.

That surge culminated with a sec­
ond-half rally against Oklahoma 
State this past Sunday. Texas was 
able to salvage a 2-2 tie with the 
Cowboys.

"We saw that if we put our mind 
to it and play with our hearts, we 
can play awesome," Gutowski said 
of the OSU game. "I'm really look­
ing forward to this weekend and 
proving that we can play with the 
big guns."

Jorgenson was also enthused by 
the Oklahoma State game. She 
hopes that the team will be able to 
carry that enthusiasm into the con­
ference tournament.

"Playing a fast place physical 
game really gets you to wanna kick 
some butt," Jorgenson said. "I have 
this gut feeling that tomorrow we're 
just gonna step it up."

the fewest ever allowed by the 
Stars.

Patrick Marleau, Ron Sutter, Jeff 
Friesen and Mike Ricci scored for 
San Jose.

The Stars outshot the Sharks 10-3 
in the first period, but San Jose did a 
better job of making its shots count 
against Dallas goalie Ed Belfour, 
who started with a 1.70 goals- 
against average.

Marleau scored on a power play 
from the top of the right circle just 
3:29 into game.

Forty seconds later, Sutter made it 
2-0 when he scored from 12 feet 
away. All three of Sutter's goals this 
season have come in the last two 
games.

The Sharks made it 3-0 midway 
through the second period when 
Friesen scored off a pass from Tony 
Granato.

Mike Ricci scored the final goal 
from point-blank range with 14:09 
left in the game.

The tournament ends the fall sea­
son for UT, so Moore hopes to see a 
culmination of the team's practice 
efforts.

"I want the players to apply all 
the emotional, mental and physical 
aspects of the game they've prac­
ticed so far," he said. "The tourna­
ment will be a good gauge of our 
progress."

d o zen u n f in is h e d h o u se s in the 
Montopolis neighborhood in East 
Austin.

Wood and tools covered in plas­
tic lay scattered around the struc­
tures, and inside those with roofs 
a few people can be seen working 
on drywall and plumbing.

T h e r a i n s th a t hit S o u t h an d 
Central Texas last month prevent­
ed H a b i ta t F or H u m a n it y from 
com p leting their first Blitz Build 
— a 12-day project to construct 12 
hom es in the East Austin n e ig h ­
borhood of Montopolis.

H ab itat For H u m anity, a n o n ­
profit organization whose goal is 
to provide affordable housing for 
fam ilies in need, had planned to 
build half of a subdivision in Mon­
topolis, with the rest to be c o m ­
pleted by the end of 1999.

After 18 months of planning arid 
n e a r ly h a lf a m illio n d o ll a r s of 
f u n d r a i s i n g , 
th e p r o j e c t w as 
stymied by poor weather.

“We had all the support that we 
needed, the only thing that killed 
us was the rain," said K at Hale, 
project manager.

F o u n d a tio n s for the 12 h o m es 
were scheduled to be poured by 
th e first d a y of the p r o j e c t bu t 
wasn't finished until the fifth day 
because of the weather.

“We can be ready and control a 
lot of things, but we can't control 
the w e a t h e r ," said S a ra h Slo an, 
associative executive director for 
Habitat. "T h at's been our biggest 
obstacle to overcome."

C o o r d i n a to r s e x p e c t e d 400 to 
500 volunteers a day, but on most 
d a y s o n ly 150 to 30 0 p e o p le 
showed up for work, Sloan said. 
The first week saw stronger atten­
dance, but after the rain fewer vol­
unteers showed up because people 
assumed no one was working dur­
ing the rain. “ But we w e re . We 
continued to work," she said.
* The Department of Housing and 
Urban Development (HUD) grant­
ed money for the project under the 
condition that Habitat finish half 
the homes by Nov. 1 this year and 
the rest by November 1999.

Without the HUD requirement,

Hale said, A u stin Habitat w ould 
not h a v e a t t e m p te d to b u ild 12 
houses in 12 days. “If we h a d n 't 
had that re q u ire m e n t we w o uld 
have done three or four," she said.

H al e s a id d e s p i t e the d e l a y , 
H U D w o n 't c u t o f f f u n d i n g . 
"They're being nice to us, but we 
still need to get these houses done 
super quick," she said.

Currently, four of the homes are 
approximately 80 percent finished, 
while the rest are between 60 per­
ce n t and 80 p e r c e n t c o m p l e t e , 
Hale said.

To be e l i g i b l e to m o v e in to a 
Habitat house, families must com­
plete a co m p re h e n s iv e selectio n 
process and perform 400 hours of 
work. It takes most families about 
two years to accum ulate enou gh 
hours to move in, Sloan said.

Families agree to a 20-year zero 
percent interest mortgage during 
which they pay off the cost of their 
house.

T he.m o n ey from the mortgages 
to 
— a n y w h e r e fr o m $ 3 9 , 7 5 0 
$46,100, depending on the size of 
the home — is then given back to 
Habitat to pay for the construction 
of new h o u se s. By m ak in g their

mortgage payments, Habitat fami­
lie s a r e h e l p i n g o t h e r s o b t a i n 
homes.

Carol DeLaCruz has been work­
ing with Habitat For Humanity for 
o v e r tw o y e a r s to g e t a h o m e . 
When she heard Habitat was plan­
n in g to b u il d % s u b d i v i s i o n in 
Montopolis, she decided to finish 
her work requirement on her own 
home.

"W hen they told me they were 
b u i l d i n g a s u b d i v i s i o n h e r e ,i n 
Montopolis, 1 wanted to live here," 
D eL aC ruz said. "T h is is w here I 
want to live because I know every­
one. I'm originally from Montopo­
lis. My children were raised here. 
The w h o le n e ig h b o rh o o d know s 
my family."

As w e ll as k n o w i n g h er old 
friends from Montopolis when she 
m o v e s in, D e L a C r u z w ill a ls o 
know her newr' neighbors.

The 12 families involved in the 
Blitz Build h av e met at planning 
m e e t i n g s , th e g r o u n d b r e a k i n g , 
and many other times during the 
building process. They've already 
ag ree d to form a n e ig h b o r h o o d 
a s s o c i a t i o n , a n d s e v e r a l h a v e 
become friends, she said.

Architecture student Brenda Chin works on one of the frames as volunteer Leland

Longhorn Horoscopes 
Aries (March 20 - April 20): Medical 
and personal problems will come to 
resolution later in the week, so don't 
worry. You may feel a bit odd today, 
but use it to your advantage. Be pro­
ductive any way you can.

Taurus 

(April 20 

- May 21):
Stimulate your ideas through a little 
good verbal sparing. If you are 
thoughtful in your maneuvers, you 
can learn the ways of challenging 
others in a constructive manner.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21): The 
conquer of the day lies in matters of 
money. Your resources are plentiful, 
but you may not have found them 
yet. Seek and ye shall find.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Avoid 
self criticism. If you value your own 
worth, you may find that the chal­
lenges you 
face will be easily 
resolved.

Leo (July 22 - Aug. 23): Focus on the 
important role your family plays in 
your life. If you haven't expressed 
recent gratitude it is time to do so. Be a

thoughtful child and at least give your 
mother a ring.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23): Get rid of 
old relationships. Friendship is a good 
prospect if you see that there is noth­
ing more to it. If you hold on to past 
feelings, you may end up emotionally 
confused and in distress.

Libra (Sept 23 - O ct 23): Attention 
revolves around a loved one or grow­
ing relationship. If you take things 
slow and learn to nurture the happi­
er aspects of your relationship, there 
is nothing ahead but bliss.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 22): Social 
activities may be on the downfall 
today. It is time to buckle down and 
make the phone calls you have been 
meaning too. If you are a little short on 
energy, find the boost you need 
through a little exercise.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21):
Friendship pays off in big ways this 
month. It is best to collect your 
resources now. Be nice to everyone 
you can and realize that they may help

you greatly when you need someone.

Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20): Being 
next in line is not always as bad as it 
seems. If you are not in the number 
one position, you have a little more 
time to be out of the spotlight.. An 
impact on your creative forces allows 
you to make your own judgements, 
not have others influence your choice.
(Jan. 20 - Feb. 19): 
Personal magnetism and sensuality 
are not on your side today. You may 
feel a bit down or in the doldrums, but 
things will pick up. No one ever said 
all horoscopes were happy.

Aquarius 

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20): Meeting 
those you already know, but don't 
know well, will blossom into some­
thing you didn't expect. Be it a 
romance or simple friendship, it is 
always good to take a little chance 
and make a move.

Simple Shakespeare falls short

AmyChozick
Daily Texan Staff

In a bold, creative endeavor, The 
Public Domain Theater's current pro­
ject, The Wars o f the Roses, reduces 
Shakespeare to its core.

The simplicity of this production of 
The Wars of the Roses is its defining 
characteristic. This perform ance is 
Shakespeare in his rawest form. The 
result is a greater emphasis on the act­
ing and the dialogue rather than huge 
theatrical devices and costumes. While 
this attempt at artistically simplifying 
Shakespeare is commendable and defi­
nitely allows for creative interpreta­
tion, it inevitably falls short in its ability 
to entertain.

This apparent lack of entertainment 
can not solely be blamed on the pro­
duction itself. The content of the play is 
somewhat stale.

The W ars o f the Roses condenses 
Shakespeare's Henry VI parts 1, 2 and 
3, and Richard III into one two-hour 
performance that sums up 63 years of 
British history. The tale is one of kingly 
ambition and royal deceit, something 
that is all too familiar in Shakespearean 
drama.

theatre
THE WARS OF THE ROSES
Starring: Michael Miller,
Director: Robbi Polgar 
Playing a t Public Domain Theater 
Tickets: $10 student/ senior rate

Robbi Polgar directed the show and 
is responsible for the adaptation of 
these four plays into one. His creative 
reworking of Shakespeare proves to be 
an ingenious accomplishment.

The story impressively succeeds in 
illustrating the years from 1422 to 1485 
without the gaps and inconsistencies 
that would be expected to go along 
with such an endeavor. In fact, Mr. 
Polgar can not be to blame for any of 
the inconsistencies in The Wars o f the 
Roses. His creative interpretation of the 
play brought a dark world of vehe­
mence and betrayal to the small, black 
stage at the center of The Public 
Domain Theater; but the acting and 
lack of props and scenery prohibits 
audiences from ever being involved 
this world.

Polgar's exemplary theatrical talent 
is reputable and makes The Wars o f the 
Roses somewhat of a work of art, it is 
interesting to look at for a while but 
eventually the eyes long for something 
else to feast on.

In The Wars o f the Roses, that longing 
for som ething more com es about 
halfway into the first half of the play. 
The cast of eight actors who play over 
20 different roles grows exceedingly 
bothersome. Many of the actors seem 
to lack zest and understanding of their 
lines that they were regurgitating, and 
this proved to make for sour, hollow 
performances.

One actor, M ichael Miller, who 
played Richard III, Richard Planta- 
genet and the later Duke of Garence, 
has portrayed the character of Richard 
III in a previous production of The 
Wars o f the Roses. His familiarity with 
Shakespeare and this role made him 
stand out as one of the few actors who 
had conquered his challenging lines.

The rest of the cast, all of which 
over-dram atically race around the 
small stage in black Umbro shorts and 
black tee-shirts, seem to have a shallow 
grasp of the language and emotion that 
their characters require. One aspect of

the acting that is sure to keep audience 
members alive and kicking is the saliva 
that sprays out of many of the actor's 
mouths during their in-your-face solil­
oquies, turning the first few rows of 
the tiny theater into the splash zone.

Ultimately, the acting does not pay 
the creative direction the respect it 
deserves and makes for an evening of 
sloppy, saliva-infested iambic pen­
tameter with little or no realistic emo­
tion.

The elimination of all costumes, 
scenery and props from a Shake­
spearean production is a brave, theatri­
cal endeavor that requires sensational 
acting and ingenious directing. The 
Wars o f the Roses provides the inventive 
direction necessary but the acting is 
lacking and inevitably turns this story 
of vehemence and deadly ambition 
into little more than a five-hundred- 
year-old history lesson.

Regardless of how much The Wars o f 
the Roses is lacking in entertainment 
value, with a few cigarette breaks and 
a little caffeine, it is certainly worth the 
price to experience Robbi Polgar's 
innovative adaptation and creative 
direction.

Imagination is key
Llosa reconstructs human thought 
over the period of a troubled mariage

I mando Ortiz, Jr.
Daily Texan Staff

T h in k of th e last tim e you en v i­
sioned m aking love. M ost likely, the 
electrifying fantasy w as m ore pas­
sio n ate and exotic th a n the actual 
in te ra c tio n . T he d re a m can be 
rew o u n d and restructured. It ener­
gizes flickering desires and commem­
orates the power of the imagination.

That is the w ide, unpredictable, 
marvelous, terrible w orld of desire," 
Don Rigoberto gleefully declares in 
The Notebooks o f Don Rigoberto, the 
novel from M ano Vargas Llosa.

In this sequel to 1991's In Praise of 
the Stepm other, Don R igoberto has 
s e p a ra te d from h is se c o n d w ife, 
Lucrecia, and is still reeling from her 
sexual involvement w ith Alfonso, his 
pubescent son and the novel's central 
figure.

Alfonso, affectionately called Fon- 
chito, worked actively to destroy the 
m arriage by w n tin g an essay of the 
seduction and unhastingly gives it to 
his father. Rigoberto throws Lucrecia 
out of the house when he learns of the 
liaison.

Fonchito is now allegedly working 
to re u n ite th e m . H e e n c o u ra g e s

Lucrecia to return home. H e express­
es his regret. Lucrecia nervously toler­
ate s F o n c h ito 's p re se n c e — th is 
"viper w ith the face of an angel" — 
and is strangely repulsed by his m in­
istrations, but is dazed w ith a linger­
ing desire for his twistedly gentle and 
am orous persona.

C a re fu lly in te rw o v e n w ith th is 
story are Lucrecia's and Rigoberto's 
complex fantasies. Rigoberto, a suc­
cessful but bored insurance executive 
living in Lima, Peru, finds solace in 
the darkness of his mind. The compli­
cated playground of sensual adven­
ture and sexual escapades w ith his 
wife and with others, especially rel­
ish in g in his fan tasies of L ucrecia 
w ith o th e rs — a foot fetish ist, a n 
imaginary brother, a motorcyclist, an 
Indian maid, a Virginian jurist.

It's q u ite clear that Lucrecia and 
Rigoberto still deeply love each other, 
and their fantasies often involve each 
o th e r, th e re a re real o r d re a m t 
episodes of two people reliving the 
paradise they once shared.

Sitting in the silence of his study, 
Rigoberto closes his eyes and travels 
the world — Corsican villas, Mexican 
brothels, Italian m useum s and French 
boardwalks. He abhors anything that

DON RIGOBERTO

does not exalt sex, filling h is no te­
b o o k s w ith c o n d e m n a tio n s a n d 
insults of anything that does not give 
h im a " te n d e r n ew e rectio n ." H is 
voyages are in part a search for a sat­
isfying fulfillment of that desire.

The Notebooks o f Don Rigoberto is 
essentially an excellent chronicle. It 
incases m em orable stories of a m an 
and his wife searching for the mean­
ing of their lives, either real or imag­
ined. It attem pts to u n d erstan d the 
instabilities of hum an sexuality and 
the depth of consequences w rought 
from its use or misuse. Linking that to 
the veiled safety of dream s, Vargas 
Llosa has suggested that our essence 
lies in not w hat we have, not in w hat 
w e 'v e constructed or acquired, b u t 
simply in w hat we can imagine.

Don Rigoberto is a novel about relationships and the toll it takes on the mind.
