LOUIS — Without a doubt or an asterisk, Mark McGwire and his mighty sw ing broke Roger M aris' hom e run reco rd Tu esd ay n ig h t with plenty of games to spare. Historic No. 62 was a lined shot to left, p u n ctu atin g a chase th at reinvigorated baseball and captivat­ ed the nation. M cG w ire co n n e cte d w ith tw o outs off Steve Trachsel, setting off a wild celebration in Busch Stadium. He was so caught up in the moment that he actually missed first base as he ro u n d ed th e bag and had to return to touch it. From there, M cGwire got hand­ shakes from every Chicago infielder and a h ug fro m ca tch e r S c o tt Serváis. Cubs right fielder Sammy Sosa, who had 58 home runs, ran in from right field to hug M cG w ire and give his rival a high five. M cG w ire w as m o bb ed by his teammates at home plate, where he hoisted his 10-year-old batboy son Matt into the air. McGwire then ran into the seats to hug the fam ily of Roger Maris, w hose 37-year-old record he had just broken. There w as no scram ble for the so u v e n ir th a t co u ld h av e b een worth up to $1 million. The 341-foot home run was the shortest of the season for McGwire, and landed in an area where no fan could get it just over the left-field wall. Instead, the ball was picked up by a g ro u n d s crew w o rk er, Tim Fomeris, who said he will give it to McGwire. With the sellout crowd still stand­ ing and cheering, McGwire grabbed a microphone to address the fans. “ To all my fam ily, my son, the Cubs, Sammy Sosa. It's unbeliev­ a b le /' McGwire said. “ Thank you, St. Louis." McGwire, who grounded out on a 3-0 pitch in the first inning, hit his solo shot on the first pitch. It trig­ gered an 11-m inu te d elay, b ase­ ball's biggest midgame celebration sin c e C al R ip k en b ro k e Lou G ehrig's consecutive games record in 1995. The Cardinals went on to win the game 6-3. The home run, despite its short distance, surely will rank as one of the biggest in history, up there with the ones hit by Bobby Thomson, Bill M azeroski, Hank A aron, Carlton Fisk, Kirk Gibson and Joe Carter. The 34-year-old slugger also did it at home, just like he wanted. The Cardinals begin a five-gam e road trip W ed n esd ay , and M cG w ire wanted to share the moment with the fans and city he has embraced. M cGwire's race began on March 31 w hen he h it a grand slam on o p en in g day, bu t h is chase to become 1998's home run champion is not finished. McGwire accomplish* d his feat in the C ard inals' 145th game, w hile Maris' Yankees played 163 in 1961. Before M aris set his record, com­ missioner Ford Frick declared any record would carry a “ distinctive m ark" if it did not beat Babe Ruth's mark of 60 in 154 games. But that decision was reversed seven years ago. Before McGwire's shot, the home run record had been the exclusive domain of the New York Yankees since 1920. That was the year Ruth set the single-season record with 54, and he held the mark until M aris beat him.

ASSOCIATED PRESS down Danielle Cooper Daily Texan Staff As the 1998 football season gets under way, the University and the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) are aiming to stop sales of unlicensed UT merchandise — which could lead to lost reven u es for W om en 's Athletics. The CLC became the University's licensing representative in July, and will work with law enforcement offi­ cials to patrol football games for coun­ terfeiters and inspect retailers for unli­ censed products. Not all items with the UT logo are officially licensed. For a company's merchandise to become licensed, it must be reviewed by the CLC and approved by the University. Licensed merchandise is identified by a blue and red "Officially Licensed Collegiate Products" logo. W hen a licensed product is pur­ chased, 7 percent of the wholesale price is given to the University. Those revenues are then channeled through the UT Business Affairs Office to fund the Women's Athletics Department. The University does not receive any compensation from unlicensed ven­ dors. Susan Toalson, who handles licens­ ing and m erch and ising for the University, explained that if students and fans buy unlicensed merchandise, "we don't get our money." Items that must be licensed include T-shirts, caps and other paraphernalia with UT insignia. Because a portion of sales revenue goes to Women's Athletics, purchas­ ing licensed items can be a means of supporting the University. "By buying licensed products, con­ su m ers can show th eir good w ill tow ards the U n iversity and their interest in quality education," said Cory Moss, director of university ser­ vices at CLC. George Mitchell, president of the University Co-op, explained that the licensing process increases the price of m erchandise, but students should remember that the money is going to the University. "I think the most important thing is th at all the m oney g oes back to Women's Athletics," Mitchell said. Erica Floyd, a communication sci­ ence and disorders junior, said she was pleased that the revenues goes toward the office that funds Women's Athletics Scholarships. "If i f s helping put people through school, I think it's a great thing" she said. Greenspan comments spark record stock leap Associated Press W A SH IN G T O N — F ed eral R eserv e A lan C h a irm a n Greenspan, demonstrating anew the impact of his words, ignited the biggest one-day point surge in Wall Street history by suggest­ ing he w ould consid er cutting interest rates if America's "oasis of prosperity" is further threat­ ened by global econom ic trou ­ bles.

To combat an increase in the use of d ate rape d ru gs, A u stin rap e .crisis center volunteers are w arn- ing students not to accept drinks from strangers and to lim it their alcohol intake. SafePlace, a rape crisis and bat­ tered w om en's center, is sending vo lu n te ers to 6th S tree t and the W arehouse District on Fridays and Saturdays this month. "E veryo n e at SafeP lace is co n ­ cerned about the effects of rape," said Robin Reger, public relations m an ag er at S a fe P la c e . " I t h as a lasting and powerful effect on self esteem.

According to SafePlace, the use the o f in c a p a c ita tin g d ru g s Rohypnol and gamma-hydroxybu- tyrate (GHB) has been on the rise in nightclubs, bars and parties in the Austin area. . _ Both drugs dissolve instantly in drinks and are tasteless, colorless and odorless. . , .

"Greenspan was telling the world that he stands ready to ease, but he hasn't made up his m ind yet that such a m ove w ill be necessary," said M ark Z an d i, econom ist at Regional Fin ancial Associates in West Chester, Pa. The Fed's next interest-rate set­ ting meeting is Sept. 29. But few economists believe the central bank w ill be ready to start lowering rates then, given that unemployment in the United States remains at 4.5 per­ cent, near a 28-year low. Outside of factories and the Farm Belt, the real U.S. economy has felt little effect from Asia's troubles.

"The market correction probably has a couple of m ore m onths to ru n ," W yss said. "T h e Fed w iil probably w ait until Novem ber to cut rates, and that w ill m ark the start of the rally." Other economists aren't even con­ vinced a rate reduction w ill come by ye ar's end. They noted that when the Asian crisis first rattled the U .S. m arket last O ctober, Greenspan said the Asian turm oil could end up having a beneficial effect on Am erica by slow ing an overheated economy to a more sus­ tainable pace. Greenspan also has not hidden the fact that for almost two years he has been worried about "irrational exuberance" as investors pushed stock prices to levels not justified by underlying fundamentals. Before speech, F rid a y 's Greenspan had been signaling that the Fed was more worried about the threat of inflation than recession, and that thus the next m ove was likely to be a rate increase. But on Friday, Greenspan indicat- .ed that Fed policy-m akers had switched at their August meeting from leaning toward raising rates to a neutral stance. He suggested they were prepared to cut rates if U.S. economic conditions worsen. " It is just not credible that the United States can remain an oasis of prosperity unaffected by a w orld that is experiencing g reatly increased stress," Greenspan said. W ith one-third of the global econ­ omy now in serious recession, the U nited States rem ains one of the few places with economic strength.

VIEWPOINT Survey says Choice, what beautiful thing. Too bad it's a choice between bad and worse. But there is always hope for next year. In light of the recent controversy surrounding the student seating at Longhorn games, the Student Government is spon­ soring an informal survey to gauge student opinion on the sub­ ject. By the end of this week, an online survey on the SG web­ site will be up and running. The survey will ask students if they prefer the East Side upper deck seating or the North End "horseshoe" seats. Most importantly, the survey will offer stu­ dents a chance to make comments about all of the seating and other relevant stadium issues. This "comment" section can be a valuable asset for students. Their comments will be read by the SG representatives and also presented to the Men's Athletic Council. What the SG and the council do with the information is another matter. We can only hope they take students' concerns to heart. The council members must realize that students are why this Uni­ versity exists. The Longhorns are a college football team, not a semi-pro franchise. While it7s understandable that the Athletic Department wants to expand the stadium and increase rev­ enue, size doesn't always matter. The increase in donations can't make up for the loss of student loyalty to the game. Last season, without the luxury boxes and "good-city-view" bleach­ ers, students enjoyed 50-yard line front row seating. Now reg­ ular students aren't anywhere near the 50 and the only front- row seats reserved for students are at the far ends of the field. field-level the addition of more This upper-deck versus "horseshoe" seating shouldn't be the only options for students. Next year, with the lowering of the field and seating, students,should have priority. Obviously the Athletic Depart­ ment could sell these new seats as expensive season tickets or hand them out to recruits, but that would hardly do much for what Coach Mack Brown referred to as the home field advan­ tage — loud student fans. During last week's "Lunch with the Coach," Brown asked students to be supportive of the team regardless of the level of play. How can the students be expect­ ed to show enthusiasm when they are being literally pushed aside? This year's seating arrangements probably won't change. The elitist "club-level" seating is a permanent fixture and the front- row seating is also lost, but next season is another story. Let the alumni keep their fenced-in chairback seats and their luxury air-conditioned wet bars, but give students all of the east-side front-row seats. Let the students sit together to create the atmosphere so unique to college football. The SG survey is a perfect .opportunity for students to tell Athletics Director Deloss Dodds and his followers to finally do the right thing. EDITORIALS DWI tool to dump immigrants V. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which became law in 1996, is now being used in Texas as a convenient way to dispose of unwanted immi­ grants. As of last week, more than 500 immigrants in Texas have been taken into custody for deportation, as the Immigration and Naturalization Service cracks down on immigrants with felony DWI convictions. These immigrants, most of whom are legal, serve as scapegoats. The roundup is unjust and doesn't provide any real solutions. The law does not address the root causes of DWI. For DWI to be a felony, people have to be caught more than once. Many of those apprehended are probably alco­ holics. Even though they've been punished before and likely face addi­ tional punishment, they can't resist the urge to go out and drink. The rea­ son for this is now common knowl­ edge — alcoholism is a disease. We shouldn't be punishing sick people; we should be treating them. This leads to the issue of poverty. To begin, people with money may have fewer reasons to turn to drink- Carl Villarreal COLUMNIST ing as an escape from daily problems. But even if they do, wealthy people can afford to check into the Betty Ford Clinic; poor people cannot. Drinkers with money may also be more likely to consider paying for a taxi cab. So, this law does not con­ front the source of the crime and it probably leads to more problems than solutions. For example, the law breaks up families. Most of those detained are men between the ages of 31 and 40 who have been in the U.S. for six to 10 years. They have built friendships, employment contacts, and lives in this country. According to Benigno Pena, executive director of the South Texas Immigration Council, many of these individuals are the main source of support for their families. In addi­ tion, the law is .retroactive, which fur­ ther demonstrates that it is nothing more than a tool to get rid of Mexican nationals and other unwanted immi­ grants. Individuals who have long since reformed are being tom from their families for crimes they already paid for. The wife of one of those detained told the Associated Press: "H e wasn't drinking anymore. He was complying with his probation." It is unclear what will happen to this family, since the man was supporting not only his wife, but his daughter and six grandchildren. The INS is out of control, and there are numerous examples. Just last month, 38 Hispanics in Arizona filed a $9.7 million lawsuit against the INS for their participation in "an illegal, unconstitutional joint operation" — during which Hispanics, Hispanic- looking individuals, and /or Spanish speaking individuals — had their civil and constitutional rights violat­ ed. The lawsuit is the result of a raid that occurred in Chandler, Ariz. last year. The individuals filing the law ­ suit say that INS agents unlawfully detained, arrested, searched, beat an d /o r deported the individuals, both citizens and non-citizens. The purpose of the INS and the U.S. Bor­ der Patrol and all of our restrictive immigration laws is to regulate the use of human lives as an economic buffer. When cheap labor is desper­ such as during ately needed, wartime, raids like these rarely hap­ pen. Otherwise, we try to do whatev­ er we can to kick out the immigrants, and that usually doesn't mean the Canadians. The problem isn't with people but with the free market. If we are gov­ erning our state and our country for humanity, then our borders should be open and the INS should be abol­ ished. It is incredible that ordinary men and women with badges can force other ordinary people to leave their families and return to a country they haven't been to in as long as a decade, simply because of a crime they already paid for years ago. It's as if Mexico were America's giant concentration camp. If the problem of immigration is an economic one and if the problem of DWI is one of health, then these are the problems we should be solving rather than pointing fingers and making bad sit­ uations even worse.

Concentrate on future alumni football donors now into Getting back to the University this fall and discovering that students have been shepherded the upper deck at football games was ‘a lot like waking up and finding out that the girlfriend you never really trusted has slipped out of bed in the middle of the night and whored her­ self to the highest bidder. You've been around too long and seen too much to really be completely su r-A prised, but for some reason, it still surprises you to be rudely reminded that, all along, it really was just about the money. Brian Winter COLUMNIST In reality, anybody who saw Ricky rip the New Mexico State defense for six touchdowns last Sat­ urday from the new student section will tell you that the new seats are not actually all that bad. So why, then, is the student body still cursing Deloss Dodds under its breath and trying to glare holes through the alumni's martini glasses in the new luxury suites? Obviously, something about this move has struck a deeper, more symbolic nerve. Doesn't the administration realize that students are the alumni of the future? It sounds simple enough, but the powers that be don't seem to rec­ ognize that ruffling so many feathers now is actually a terrible long term investment. The mere concept of alumni donations suggests a kind of nostalgia, in effect, a concrete way to say thank you. But, thanks for what? Being told we're second-class fans because we can't shell out the big buckN now, and therefore we have to take a back seat to car dealership owners and media tycoons? Proof shows that students have longer memories than they're given credit for. It is no coincidence that the University, despite its seemingly boundless reputation for concentrat­ ing on football, ranks far below other football schools like Texas A&M and Notre Dame when it comes to alumni donations. UT students are too accustomed to being told that, because college foot­ ball is a business, decisions on things like who gets to sit where have to be based on who — at this present moment — is writing the big checks. Make students mad now, though, and 20 years from now, moving them away from the field may not look like such a great business deci­ sion, after all. No, students did not descend from the upper deck on Saturday night with bloody noses and altitude sickness. But, unless the administra­ tion is careful, they may end up suf­ fering from the long-term monetary effects of a generation of alumni who were told, as students, that they weren't important to the University. Maybe that's why the administra­ tion continues to defy logic by increasing enrollment: they're hop­ ing to increase the number of poten­ tial future donors. But then again, why would you want to give money to an institution that never treated you well in the first place? W inter, a S panish/H istory senio hosts “ The 411" Wednesdays a t 8 p.m on KVRX. 'Cyber hemlock' I have a son who just started as a fresh­ man at the University majoring in math. When we visited the campus before he accepted admission at UT, we were told that the class lessons, labs and other com­ puter-related aspects of his education were based on the Linux operating system. This was in informal talks with people in his department and related natural science departments. It was very encouraging that the bright folks at UT "got it." The University's deal with Microsoft should be setting off alarms. Do not allow the glorified clerks to shove Microsoft's cyber hemlock down the throats of the cre­ ative community. Just read the stories about Microsoft found in the discovery process for the upcoming anti-trust trial. They stop at nothing when it comes to cut­ ting out consumer choice. Peter Koren Parent o f UT student Watch Microsoft So we have a new contract with Microsoft for $6.3 million dollars? From where is this money coming? Software for five bucks sounds great, but a student fee would force everyone to pay for the pro­ grams regardless of whether they wanted to or not. Perhaps a more informative arti­ cle would clarify the source of the funds, or would tell when this "deal" would go into effect. Thanks for the insightful quotes about how cheap the software would be, but some real information would have been greatly appreciated. Wallace Printz Chemical engineering ju nio r Co-op necessary Friday's editorial concerning the UT W om en's Co-op brought up the most important issue: the students living in the co-op. I have had a girlfriend and some close friends who lived in the Women's Co­ op, and I've had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with the women who live there. The Women's Co-op is the o n ly option for some students, and the fact that the system works is another reason to keep the co-op This issue is not just for the women who live there; the issue is important to all stu­ dents, male and female. Students need to consider the advantage of offering a cheap alternative to the dorms Keeping the FIRING LINE Women's Co-op shows that the University is committed to offering students a choice based on different financial situations. UT is on the verge of eliminating an excellent housing alternative needed by many stu­ dents. 1 hope Jim Vick and the UT adminis­ tration use this opportunity to show that they consider each student's needs, not just the need to generate profit. I fully support the UTWC and especially the wonderful women who live there. Brian Tompkins Chemical engineering senior Indonesian Chinese ignored Though there has been limited coverage of the Indonesian student movement in The Daily Texan and other newspapers, there has been almost non-existent coverage of the plight of the Indonesian ethnic Chinese. Thus, I was surprised to see a short caption within the article "Indonesian students riot in Jakarta" (printed in Sept. 8 edition of The Daily Texan ) about how the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia are being targeted as scape­ goats for the economic crises Indonesia is currently facing. Ethnic Chinese make up less than 5 percent of the population in Indonesia yet control the bulk of the nation's wealth. Though this wealth is mainly concentrated in the hands of a few small families, the Indonesian ethnic Chi­ nese have always been resented for their perceived prosperity. Now that Indonesia is in the throes of an econom ic downturn and the country's descent into poverty worsens, many Chi­ nese have become targets of mob anger. The height of this anger was seen in May when riots in Indonesia ran rampant. Dur­ ing this period, 1,200 people were said to have been killed and 150 women raped. The stories behind each of the killings and rapings are enough to give any human rights activist a nightmare. These include 10 Indonesian women who were separated from others on a bus, stripped and forced to bathe in a stagnant roadside pond, and a pregnant woman and her three daughters who were raped in front of a cheering crowd. Unfortunately, these atrocities and others, such as the burning and looting of Chinese-owned shops and properties, are still occurring in Indonesia today. As news coverage about this issue is lim­ ited, I encourage you to spread the word about the plight of the Indonesian Chinese. Only by making everybody aware of what is happening in that region can we then urge the government of Indonesia to take action to prevent further violence against its ethnic Chinese citizens.

The Texas Travesty is the University's only outlet for bizarre, sarcastic and satirical humorous writing and cartoons. You w on't find much humor in ____ Rat the Texati, in Analecta or in other campus publications. But now the reign of dull, dry and unfunny publications is finally over. We formed the Travesty as an equal opportunity maga­ zine: we give everyone the opportunity to poke fun at anybody or anything. Like its predeces­ sor, The Texas Ranger, our magazine can be a crazy outlet for silly w riting or a voice advocating changes at the 'Damn, I wish I had a computer!'

The University deserves a humor maga­ zine. Smaller colleges, such as Stanford, Brandéis, Emory and Harvard all have extremely funny and successful humor mag­ azines. It's a shame that we, as the largest university in the country, lacked one for so long. But no longer. The Texas Travesty will take up where the Ranger left off — nothing is sacred. Butler is the associate editor of The Texas ‘Ranger was a hugely www.utexas.edu/students/travesty successful humor magazine on campus until the 1970's, when UT censors killed its bud­ get because of its staunch opposition to the heavy-handed reign of UT President Frank Erwin — and to the Vietnam War. As a Web publication, the Travesty can be read anytime. But more importantly, you can send submissions anytime. But don't take our word for it. Here are just some of the raving reviews of the Trav­ esty: "I laughed so hard, I messed myself!' Monica Lewinsky "I'm sorry. I'm very, very sorry." — Bill Clinton "The Travesty is categorically, undeni­ funny!" — U.S. ably, unequivocally Supreme' Court Justice Clarence Thomas "It's the BOMB!" — Osama bin Laden "Absolutely scrumptious!" — Mike Tyson Travesty.

"One of the things Longhorns for Bush stresses is the im portance of student voting, w hether it be parti­ san or not; j«st the righ t to vote," Johnson said. Eslpeth Rostow, dean of the Lyn­ d o n B. Jo h n so n School of P u blic Affairs, said young people are often reluctant to vote. "Generally speaking, people w ho a re n e w to th e s u ffra g e are less interested in voting than those w ho have been around a while," Rostow said. "It sometimes takes a while to realize the im portance of voting." But some students said they do n't vote because they aren 't politically informed.

Harvard brings in most blacks University Wire CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — H a r­ vard U niversity has the highest p e r c e n ta g e of b la c k s tu d e n ts a m o n g Iv y L e a g u e sc h o o ls , acco rd in g to a recent stu d y by th e Journal o f Blacks in Higher Education. In 1996, black s tu d e n ts com ­ prised 7.2 percent of the H arvard student body — u p 38.5 percent from 1980 when, am ong the Ivy L e a g u e sc h o o ls, o n ly C o rn e ll U niversity had a lower percent­ age. College officials said the p er­ centage rem ains about the same in 1998. Dionne A. Fraser, president of the Black S tudents Association, expressed surprise that H arvard to p s th e list o f Ivy L e ag u e schools, b u t said percentages do n o t indicate the strength of the black com m unity on campus. "I'm n o t as m uch concerned a b o u t th e p e rc e n ta g e of b lack students as about how ... aw are the black com m unity is political­ ly and socially an d culturally," Fraser said. The article, p u b lish e d in the Journal's sum m er issue, is based on D epartm ent of Education sta­ tistics. It concludes that Cornell, with a student body that is 4.2 percent black, still has th e low est p e r­ centage of black students in the Ivy League. Y ale U n iv e r s ity , C o lu m b ia University and the University of P en n sy lv an ia also have h ig h e r p e rc e n ta g e s of b la ck s in th e ir student bodies than in 1980. The in creases a t Ivy L eague universities are reflective of rises in black enrollm ent at universi­ tie s a r o u n d th e c o u n try . T he num bers of black students at 26 of the 50 highest ranked univer­ s itie s a n d liberal a rts colleges increased by 10 percent or more from 1980 to 1996. Em ory U niversity in A tlanta, w h ich as late as 1967 h ad n ot graduated a single black student, now has the highest percentage of black stu d e n ts of th e 50 top academic universities. In 1980, 3 percent of Em ory's students w ere black. T hat nu m ­ ber has risen to 17.2 percent. R o b e rt B. S la te r, m a n a g in g e d ito r of th e Journal, sa id the co m p e titio n for ta le n te d black applicants is heavy and H arvard has "done a better job of attract­ ing them because of its re p u ta­ tion." Slater cited the Afro-American S tu d ie s d e p a r tm e n t as one of several aspects of the university that is attractive to prospective black students. D ire c to r of A d m is s io n s for H arvard and Radcliffe Colleges M a rly n M c G ra th L ew is said H a r v a r d m a k e s an e ffo rt to encourage students "w ho might oth erw ise w rite us off in some w ay" to come to the university, b u t d o e s n o t a d m it s tu d e n ts based on race. Slater said H a rv a rd 's appeal, as w ell as th e in te g r a tio n o f on ce-seg reg ated S o u th ern u n i­ versities, have m ade it difficult for other schools to retain many black students. "M any of the institutions that w e re p io n e e rs in d iv e rsify in g th e ir c a m p u se s, such as D a rt­ m o u th , N o r th w e s te r n an d B row n, h a v e n o t been able to m aintain black enrollm ent levels bec a u se of in creased c o m p e ti­ tion," the article said. Officials at o th er un iversities qu estio n ed the m ean ing of the statistics. D a r tm o u th s p o k e s p e rs o n Nancy P.

LOUIS — He did it with a rocket shot to left that barely cleared the wall. No magical moonshots. No stately arcs. Baseball history was expected from Mark McGwire since the day he arrived at spring training. On a late summer night he delivered. McGwire hit his 62nd home run Tues­ day night, winning the race to break Roger Maris' 37-year-old record and doing it without a doubt or an asterisk - and with plenty of games to spare. It was McGwire's shortest home run of the season — 341 feet — but it still gave him the biggest, most glamorous record in sports. "I have been talking about this since January," he said. "I can honestly say I did it." McGwire connected with two outs in the fourth inning off the Chicago Cubs' Steve Trachsel for the historic homer, which punctuated the chase that he began with a grand slam on opening day. When it finally happened, McGwire was so caught up in the moment that he missed first base as he rounded the bag and had to return to touch it, pulled back by coach Dave McKay. "I sort of missed one big thing — to touch first base," he said. "I hope I didn't act foolish, but this is history." From there, McGwire got handshakes from every Chicago infielder as he trot­ ted home and then hugged catcher Scott Serváis. McGwire was mobbed by his team­ mates at home plate, where he hoisted his 10-year-old batboy son Matt high into the air. McGwire then ran into the seats to hug the family of Maris, whose record he had just broken. Before the game, McGwire held the bat that Maris used to hit his 61st and rubbed it against his chest. "Roger, I hope you're with me tonight," McGwire said. He was, indeed. Cubs right fielder Sammv Sosa, who has 58 home runs, ran in from right field to hug McGwire. They bashed their arms together, and McGwire gave Sosa a mock punch to the stomach. Sosa reciprocated with his trademark: kissing his fingers, tapping his heart, holding up his fingers in a V in honor of the late Harry Caray, an announcer who worked for the Cardi­ nals and Cubs. As the specially marked ball cleared the left-field fence, there was no scramble to retrieve it because it landed in an area where no fan could get it. Tim Fomeris, a ground-crew worker, picked it up and later gave it to McGwire RECORD/Page 11 RIB MTKRML LEAGUE Pittsburgh 8, Milwaukee 7 Philadelphia 16, N.Y.

Miller, a sixth round draft pick by Pittsburgh in 1994, will play behind Troy Aikman and Jason Garrett. To make room for Miller, the Cowboys released rookie quarter­ back Daniel Gonzalez. Miller spent three years with the Steelers, completing 45 of 81 passes for 520 yards, two touch­ downs and five interceptions. He was named Pittsburgh's opening day starter in 1996 before losing the job to Mike Tomczak. Miller went to training camp this summer with Detroit after spending 1997 with Jacksonville and Atlanta. NBA hears final witness in hearings ■ NEW YORK — Simon Gour- dine, fired as head of the players' union and a former NBA execu­ tive, was the final person to testi­ fy in the arbitration hearings to determine if players with guaran­ teed contracts should be paid during the lockout. Gourdine was the only witness today. Closing arguments will be Wednesday, and final briefs are to be filed by Sept. 15. Arbitrator John Feerick will then have 30 days to rule. Gourdine appeared as a wit­ ness for the league, which con­ tends its clubs do not have pay players during the owners' lock­ out. The union maintains some 220 players with guaranteed con­ tracts must be paid. Gourdine, ousted by the play­ ers more than two years ago and replaced as union director by Billy Hunter, had been the No. 2 league when m an Lawrence O'Brien was commis­ sioner. the in The lockout is in its third month with the sides having met for formal bargaining once dur­ ing that span. That session ended when the owners walked out of the room upon hearing the play­ ers' latest proposal.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Horns in the midst of brutal schedule Mike Wilson Daily Texan Staff If there's one thing that can be said about the Texas football pro­ gram, it's that they don't fill their non-conference schedule with pat­ sies. Sure, last Saturday's matchup with New Mexico State isn't going to turn any heads, but now the fun and games are over. For the Longhorns, the season begins again this weekend, and it w on't get much easier any time soon. A young Texas team will get thrown into the fire with a pair of top 10 matchups starting with No. 6 UCLA at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., this Saturday. What's worse, both contests will be played away from the friendly confines of Royal- Memorial Stadium. While this might be a daunting task to most college football teams, it has become something of the norm in Austin. "If s always tough, but when you play for Texas, you always have a tough schedule," senior linebacker Dusty Renfro said. "You kind of get used to playing tough teams on die road all the time." In addition to their clash with the Bruins, the Longhorns have a meet­ ing with No. 5 Kansas State in Man­ hattan, Kan., the following week. Even though a relatively inexperi­ enced Texas team will take the field in these two contests, the Longhorns wouldn't have it any other way. "I think it7s great that we do this so early," senior offensive guard Ben Adams said. "I would rather this happen early than late. It lets you check your manhood and see who should be on the field and who should be off it. We will get a lot of experience by playing two top 10 teams."

And even though the Horns w ouldn't mind repeating that success, they probably would have preferred to skip all the contro­ versy surrounding the statement attributed to Humphrey in this week's issue of Horns Illustrated magazine. In an article discussing the team's upcom­ ing matchup with UCLA and star quarter­ back Cade McNown, quoted Humphrey as saying "Cade's a dead man." Reportedly, excerpts of the article have been posted in the Bruins' locker room, although McNown himself said he wasn't too offended by the remark. "I'v e been threatened in the paper before," said McNown, who passed for 202 yards and five TDs in UCLA's 66-3 win over Texas last year. "I don't think it means he'll hit me extra hard. If that's what he has to do to get him­ self fired up, that's fine." But just like former UT quarterback James Brown did when he predicted that the Horns would beat Nebraska "by three touchdowns" in 1996, Humphrey said his comment was taken out of context. "I said that way back before two-a-days," Humphrey said. "That was all in good fun. That's just my sense of humor." Added head coach Mack Brown: "I think it's a case of a 20-year-old guy that made a statement that's not true, and that he regrets. People are looking for something like that to spice up the game, but UCLA is going to be ready regardless." Free at last Nine members of Brow n's stellar first recruiting class saw their first action of the season on Saturday night against New Mexi­ co State, with most of the debuts occurring on special teams. And along with losing their redshirts, the freshmen also lost their muzzles. Team policy mandated that freshmen could not talk to the media until they finished a season of eligibil­ ity or played in their first game. So this week, it was finally open season on rookies for the media. "It was kind of nice," freshman defensive end Jermain Anderson said of his first month in Austin. "We were able to concentrate on school and football and not having to worry about the press," Anderson, one of four freshmen from Texas City, played in the last two series against NMSU, and said he was glad to get the first- game jitters behind him. "It felt good to get used to the environ­ ment," Anderson said. "It was a little over­ whelming at first." More praise for Walton Texas quarterback Richard Walton answered a few questions on Saturday with a nearly flawless performance against New Mexico State, but he'll have an even tougher test with this weekend's visit to UCLA. Walton silenced some naysayers by laying a near-flawless 15-of-21, one-touchdown day on the Aggies, but in the minds of most fans, his mettle won't be proven until the Bruins have their shot at him. Last year, Walton, playing in place of the injured Jam es Brown, and third-stringer Marty Cherry were sacked seven times. Wal­ ton also tossed an interception and coughed up a fumble UCLA's 66-3 rout. But Bruin head coach Bob Toledo, whose team will be making its 1998 debut on Satur­ day, said he's expecting to see the calm, col­ lected version of the Longhorn signal caller. "I see a guy with a lot of confidence, and a guy who's playing very well," Toledo said. "H e's matured a lot and gained some experi­ ence. I was very impressed with Walton." Gettin' defensive When the Horns line up on offense Satur­ day, they may not recognize what's staring them down on the opposite side of the ball. The Bruin defense, which allowed 3.3 yards per rush last season, lost eight starters to expired eligibility. In addition, defensive coordinator Rocky Long, whose so-called "3-3 and go crazy" scheme produced eight turnovers in last year's Texas game, left So-Cal to become the head coach at New Mexico. Replacing him is first-year coordinator Nick Aliotti, who for­ merly held that position at Oregon State. Since UCLA has yet to take the field this fall, UT's Brown said nobody — including himself — can predict what the remodeled Bruin defense will look like. "We'll go into this game not having any idea how they'll line up," Brown said. "We'll really have to develop a game plan in the first quarter and as the game goes." — Compiled by Mike Finger and Jeff McDonald, Daily Texan staff Texas vs. UCLA Octavious Bishop Left Tackle Pete Holland Defensive End VS. ■ SIZE: 6-5, 330 pounds ■ CLASS: Senior ■ HOMETOWN: Palestine ■ STATS: Made his 25th career start against New Mexico State and recorded one knockdown block ■ SIZE: 6-3, 270 pounds ■ CLASS: Junior ■ HOMETOWN: Los Altos, CA ■ STATS: Started five of final six games last season at DE, has one career sack in 23 games ■ MATCHUP: If you re a right-handed quarterback, it pays to make good friends with your left tackle.

Against New Mexico State last week, Bishop's protection kept the Aggies with­ out a sack, but his work may be a little tougher this Saturday. In last year's scrum with UCLA, Texas' quarterbacks were used as Bruin punch­ ing bags. UCLA got seven sacks in all, including one from the blind side that caused Richard Walton to fumble with his team down by two scores. This year, there will be no ill-fated zone blocking scheme installed at the last minute by Texas coaches, meaning if Pete Holland and company are breathing down Walton's neck again, all fingefs will point directly at Bishop's massive frame. — By Jeff McDonald, Daily Texan staff B ro w n s’ o w n e r n a m e d Associated Press CHICAGO — NFL owners on Tuesday picked Alfred Lemer to be the owner of the new Cleveland Browns, handing him the task of bringing one of the league's signa­ ture franchises back to life. Lemer, who helped Art Modell move the original Browns to Balti­ more, paid $530 million for the new team with $54 million going to sta­ dium costs. It is the most expensive pro sports team in U.S. history, sur­ passing the $350 million Rupert Murdoch paid for the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this year. Owners met for nearly five hours Tuesday and took four ballots before Lemer, who teamed with former San Francisco 49ers president Carmen Policy, eliminated Larry and Charles Dolan, who were teamed with Hall of Fame coach Don Shula. Lemer, 65, becomes the fourth owner in Browns history. The NFL expansion committee met for about 90 minutes before all the owners met and considered offers from Lemer, the Dolans and New York real estate magnate Howard Milstein. The committee unanimously endorsed the Lemer- Policy team, and the final vote among the 30 owners was unani­ mous with one abstention — Oak­ land's A1 Davis. The unanimous vote followed a motion by Modell to make the decision unanimous, commission­ er Paul Tagliabue said. Dolan's bid was $500 million with the stadium money factored in, and Milstein's was "substantially less," Tagliabue said. Lerner's price also surpassed the previous record of $140 million for an expansion team, set by Car­ olina and Jacksonville in 1993. The new Browns begin play next season in a $280 million, football- only stadium on the same spot where old Cleveland Stadium stood. The new owner gets millions in rev­ enue from luxury boxes and club seats, plus the sale of 41,000 person­ al seat licenses. r r i \ t i i* i i S O I \ I) R I M R I W I \ I I \ \ I S I I \ < RECENTLY, MORNINGSTAR CALLED US CHEAP.

On his way to class two years ago at Duncanville High School, Williams was stopped in the hallway by a teacher that was con­ fused to see her former student. "I thought I watched you on tele­ vision playing football for Texas," the teacher said. "No, that's another guy," Williams replied with a smile. "I'm still a senior here." Meet the "other" Ricky Williams, a 5'7", 185-pound sophomore run­ ning back for the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Since arriving in Lubbock last fall, Williams has been nationally com­ pared and then compared again to Texas' Ricky Williams because of their obvious similarity. "Obviously the main reason for the comparison is the name," Tech's Williams said. "However, we're real­ ly different as running backs. He's more of a power runner, while I try to cut into holes and explode with my speed." broke tailback Williams certainly proved his season. The last explosiveness Byron young Hanspard's rushing record with 894 yards on the ground while scoring three touchdowns. He also out-rushed Texas' Williams in a head-to-head battle last season with freshman 131 rushing yards compared to his opponent's 80. "It was a real thrill to watch him and meet him after the game," Williams said. "He congratulated me on my performance and wished me luck for the remainder of the sea­ son. It's really an honor to be com­ pared to someone that handles him­ self so respectfully." But as much as the Tech star does­ n't mind the constant comparisons or being continually referred to as the "other" Ricky Williams, it can be taken a little far. "Some people have suggested to me that I should change my name to get out of his shadow, but changing my name has never entered my mind," Williams said. "My parents gave me this name and that7 s how it will remain." Williams also shrugs off ideas that maybe he should have left Texas and gone to one of the other two schools (Kansas State or Iowa State) that he had narrowed his decision down to over a year ago. "I wanted to go where I could play early so I'm happy at Tech," Williams says. "He may be in the spotlight, and that's fine because he deserves it. But in a few years I will have my chance if I perform well." Last Saturday, Ricky Williams was exhausted after performing in the unforgiving Texas sun. After spend­ ing his afternoon slicing and cutting through the University of Texas-El Paso defense to lead the Red Raiders to a 35-3 victory, Williams trotted to the sideline dripping with sweat and asking for water. "You need to get in shape," Texas Tech head coach Spike Dykes said. "Yes, sir," Williams replied. "I'll start running after practice." It wasn't until later that night that Dykes came to realize the work load that Williams had actually put in for his team. "I didn't know it at the time, but he had run the football 41 times for 251 yards," Dykes said. "He really had every right to be a little tired, but he never complains because he wants to get better." Williams' rushing performance was good enough to make him the leading rusher in the nation, but he was not quick to accept any appraisals. "Being the leading rusher isn't important," Williams said. "What's important is that I fumbled on the 5- yard line with a chance to score. I still have a lot I need to improve on." According to Dykes, such state­ ments are not a rarity from Williams. "He's so conscious about needing to improve, and it's nice to see that every day on the practice field," Dykes said. "It's really just who he is." it's Unfortunately, sometimes hard to discover who the "other" Ricky Williams really is. Some shad­ ows are just too dark. Homs:Texas needs no motivation against UCLA Continued from page 9 thing is that it will give us a chance to see how we play against the best teams in the country. One of these teams may well win the national championship." Unfortunately for Texas, this trip may also have its downside. A pair of difficult losses to UCLA and Kansas State could erase any confi­ dence the Horns have pieced togeth­ er since last year. Despite this, Ren­ fro, who has seen his share of highs and lows, isn't too worried about any possible negatives. "I've got complete confidence in everybody on oür team," he said. "We've gone through some tough times together, and some really great* times as well. We've been to the top before, and we're going to try to get there again." When asked if a win over UCLA would be a step in the right direc­ tion, Renfro's reply was simple. "It certainly wouldn't hurt," he said. —- If there's one thing Texas will have ~ an abundance of this weekend, it's motivation. After the 66-3 rout a year ago, the UCLA rematch has likely been in the back of many players' minds. But the Horns insist that while last year's results will be a factor, the team won't approach it any different­ ly than any other game. said. "We use just about every loss for motivation," Renfro "We would think about each team before we did windsprints during the off­ season. Before one we would talk about A&M, the next would be UCLA and so on all the way down the schedule. Every windsprint was a different team." Houston: Astros tie Braves for NLs best record Continued from page 9 a career high with six RBIs as the Houston Astros moved into a tie for the NL's best record with a 13-7 vic­ tory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. "I wasn't watching our game, I was watching McGwire (on large TV screens in the Astrodome)," Bagwell said. "I was watching him run the bases. That was awesome." Bagwell got a standing ovation almost at the same time McGwire was celebrating his feat. The Astros, tied with Atlanta at 92-53 after the Braves' 6-3 loss to Montreal, were leading 6-1 when Brad Ausmus singled to start the third inning and reliever Rick Kriv- da walked Craig Biggio and Ricky Gutierrez. Bagwell then hit his 31st homer over the center-field fence. "It was an easy win and we don't get many of those," Astros manager Larry Dierker said. "We started hit­ ting and just kept it up until there wasn't much of a chance for them to come back. "It gives us a chance to go for the best record. The Cubs lost and the Braves lost." Rangers:Texas rallies in ninth to pull out victory Continued from page 9 field line. "The pressure was on Pudge (Rodriguez) to get the ball to the outfield," Oates said. "What we did­ n't want was a ground ball. When I see it tomorrow in the box score, it will look like a line drive." Greer's double just inside the third base bag was also critical to the rally. "I was just trying to put the ball in play and not strike out," Greer said. "I was just protecting the plate. Anytime you come back like that, it's exciting. I hope we can capture this excitement and carry it over." Danny Patterson (2-5) got three outs for the victory.

McGwire also got a '62 red Corvette from the Cardinals in the tribute and he and his son took a slow victory drive around the field as the crowd cheered. "Right when it hit off the bat, I knew it was going out and it went right over the sign," Fomeris said. "There was a bunch of ground-crew guys on the wall. But I was right on the edge and I said, 'That ball is mine.'" By Wednesday, that landm ark ball, along with McGwire's bat and jersey, will be on display at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. The homer triggered an 11-minute delay, baseball's biggest midgame celebration since Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games record in 1995. After McGwire finished celebrat­ ing with his teammates and the Maris family, he grabbed a micro­ phone to address the sellout crowd of 43,688, which was still standing and cheering. "To all my family, my son, the Cubs, Sammy Sosa. It's unbeliev­ able," McGwire said. "Thank you, St. Louis." McGwire, who appeared anxious in grounding out on a 3-0 pitch in the first inning, hit his solo shot on the first pitch, an 88 m ph fastball at •8:18 p.m. CDT. "I was hoping it wasn't going to be me," Tracnsel said. The home run, despite its short distance, surely will rank as one of the biggest in history, up there with the ones hit by Bobby Thomson, Bill Mazeroski, Hank Aaron, Carlton Fisk, Kirk Gibson and Joe Carter. "I couldn't be happier for him," Roger Maris Jr. said. The 34-year-old slugger also did it at home, just like he wanted, the day after he tied the record. The Cardi­ nals begin a five-game road trip Wednesday, and McGwire wanted to share the moment with the fans and city he has embraced since Oak­ land traded him to St. Louis on Julv 31, 1997. McGwire did not get a chance to ■ add to his total, which includes 15 home runs in only 21 days. He w alked two plate appearances in the Cardinals' 6-3 in his final victory. McGwire's race began on March 31 when he hit a slam on opening day — he homered in the first four games of the season — but his chase to become 1998's home run champi­ on is not finished. With the Cardinals out of con­ tention, McGwire may take off a few days over the final 18 games; the season ends Sept. 27. He is just four homers ahead of Sosa, who figures to play every day down the stretch with the Cubs still in the NL wild­ card race. Like Maris, McGwire broke the mark in an expansion season. But consider this stat: This year, home runs are being hit at a rate of 2.05 per game; last year, the average was also 2.05. McGwire accomplished his feat in the Cardinals' 145th game, while Maris' Yankees played 163 in 1961. Before Maris set his record, commis­ sioner Ford Frick declared any record would carry a "distinctive mark" if it did not beat Babe Ruth's mark of 60 in 154 games. That decision was reversed seven years ago, but it came seven years after Maris died in 1985. Maris played his final game on this same Busch field for the Cardinals in the 1968 World Series. Unlike Maris, McGwire didn't lose -his hair in his pursuit of the record, even though the expecta­ tions and pressure began building way before the Cardinals' first workout in spring training. At one point in mid-June, McG­ wire complained that he felt like a "caged animal" because of all the attention his BP sessions were attracting. Later in the season, as the media hordes started to increase, he was stung by an Associated Press report that he used androstene- dione, an over-the-counter muscle booster that is legal in major league baseball but banned by the NFL, NCAA and International Olympic Committee. Before McGwire's shot, the home run record had been the exclusive domain of the New York Yankees since 1920. That was the year Ruth set the single-season record with 54, and he held the mark until Maris beat him.

ASSOCIATED PE Groundskeeper gives up ball for ire gave it back." McGwire has said the ball belongs in Cooperstown — at the Baseball Hall of Fame, home of 5,000 other significant baseballs. "It's refreshing," said Don Marr, the hall's president, carrying a case containing the bat Roger Maris used to hit No. 61. "People short-change America. These baseball fans are showing their true colors." McGwire's last six home-run balls have been returned to him. Fans who saw No. 62 but didn't get the ball had to think about it a while, but most arrived at t same verdict. "I would definitely give it bad said Rich Keim of St. Louis. "I think it's gn at Mark g o t ; ball. I would have done the s thing," said Bridget D ■ son, ah St. Louis. "We didn't come he e to tr catch the ball. I wasn't going to killed going for that baseball," s Rick Miller of Alton, 111. "I just vva ed to see him hit the horre Associated Press ST. LOUIS — When homer No. 62 finally came, the whole affair proved far easier than anybody thought. The talk had flowed everywhere for weeks. Who'd catch it? Should they keep it? Would the IRS come calling? And the most pressing question: Give it back gratis or take Mark McG­ wire and the Cardinals for as much cash and cool stuff as possible? Unlike so many of McGwire's home runs, this one didn't make it into the left-field stands. Instead, the line drive shot over the left field fence, where Tim Forneris ran it down and picked it up — Tim Forneris, part of the Busch Stadium ground crew. He promptly set about returning the specially and secretly marked, individually numbered ball to The Man Of The Hour. "It's not mine to begin with," the 22-year-old Forneris said, though technically it was once he got his hands on it. "McGwire just lost it, and I brought it home. I'm just a reg­ ular Joe." At a postgame ceremony, Fomeris presented McGwire with the ball. "Mr. McGwire, I think I have something that belongs to you," he said. McGwire took the ball, looked at it and held it up triumphantly. The Hall of Fame then took possession of the ball, as well as McGwire's bat and uniform. When the ball flew off McGwire's bat, Fomeris and his brother, Tino, were working behind the outfield fence under, appropriately enough, a sign for "Target" department stores. Both joined other members of the ground crew in a mad dash to where they thought it would land, under a "Konica Copiers & Printers" sign. "I figure, if it's not gone, it's going to hit the wall. If it is gone, it's mine," Forneris said. He beat them all. "He was always the better play­ er," Tino Forneris said. In the left-field stands, fans sud­ denly certain they wouldn't get to the ball rushed out to the smoking areas and restrooms, lining the concourse. Fomeris stuffed the ball into his shirt and ran onto the field with dozens of other employees as McG­ wire rounded the bases. He gave the prize to Cardinals equipment man­ ager Buddy Bates. "It makes everybody happy," Car­ dinals spokesman Brian Bartow said. "Our employees love the game just like the fans do. I am not sur­ prised that an employee felt so strongly about it that he rushed to give it to Mark." There was some initial confusion when an unidentified man handed a ball to McGwire shortly after the home run. But the slugger said he looked at the ball and said he knew it wasn't the one. "It said 'Official League,' not 'National League,"' McGwire said at a postgame news conference. "So I McGwire embraces Chicago Cub Sammy Sosa who has 58 homers on the year.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Heat damage could lead to crash clues Associated Press HALIFAX, Nova Scotia — Inves­ tigators have detected signs of heat ;damage on fragm ents of Sw issair Flight I l l ' s cockpit, evidence that cou ld help determ ine why sm oke billow ed around the pilots before the jetliner crashed. Vic Gerden, the chief crash inves­ tigator, said Tuesday that signs of heat stress have been found so far only on wreckage from the cockpit, not from the passenger cabin. "There are some signs of heating on some of the small pieces of the wreckage retrieved," Gerden told a n ew s c o n fe re n c e . "T h e lim ite d am ount of w reckage retrieved to date indicates this area of heat stress is in the cockpit." He refused to sp ecu late on the extent of the dam age or the exact cause of it. G erden also expressed hopes of g a in in g v a lu a b le d ata from the flig h t-d a ta p la n e 's recorder, even though it stopped w orking during the final six m in­ utes before the plane crashed into re co v e re d the Atlantic off Nova Scotia on Sept. 2, killing all 229 people on board. Flight 111 crashed more than an h o u r a fte r ta k in g o ff from New York, bound for Geneva. "The most crucial area is not the last six minutes, as some may think, but prior to those six minutes," Ger­ den said. The recorder, retrieved by divers 190 feet underw ater, m ight show how sy ste m s ab o ard the p lan e failed between the pilots' initial dis­ tress ca ll 16 m in u te s b e fo re the crash and when the m achine shut off, he said. Investigators hope to get further information from the plane's cock- pit-voice recorder, which is still on the sea bottom. A signal from that recorder has been detected, but bad weather Tuesday forced a one-day halt in diving operations.

Also on hand is a 16-member U.S. Navy team from Panama City, Fla., which has brought advanced sonar and imaging equipment to provide greater detail of the ocean floor.

If th ey su cce e d in b u ild in g a memorial, it will in part stand as a reminder to patrons of the greatest irony of the local legend's life: even though his restaurant gained wide­ spread fame, he died a poor man.

People's right to spend money to in flu e n c e a p o litic a l c o n te st is butting up against a law requiring them to report the expenditures in a tim e ly w ay in a case b e fo re th e Texas Supreme Court. The court heard arguments Tues­ day in the case involving the state's campaign finance law on indepen­ dent expenditures. The case stem s from telev isio n ad v ertisin g pu rchased by R obert Osterberg, using checks signed by his wife, Olga, in a 1994 judicial con­ Osterberg opposed the re-election of state District Judge Peter Peca Jr., who had ea rlie r p resid ed o v er a case involving the couple. The TV com m ercials, w hich cost $28,695, w ere d esc rib e d by O ste rb e rg as "informational ads." After Peca won the campaign, he filed a lawsuit contending that the elderly couple failed to report the expenditure by the deadline in state election law. He won after a jury trial. The O sterbergs w ere ordered to pay Peca tw ice the ads' cost, plus interest. That figure has grown to $90,000, said the Osterbergs' lawyer, Larry Zinn of San Antonio. The 8th C ourt of A ppeals in El Paso upheld the d ecisio n again st O sterberg but found there w asn 't enough evidence against his wife. In th eir appeal to the Suprem e Court, the Osterbergs contend that the state Election Code violates their free sp eech rig h ts by re stric tin g independent expenditures, w hich Zinn called "a core F irst A m end ­ ment activity." Z in n said the w ay th e law is worded, independent expenditures are ille g al u nless they fall under s p e c ific e x c e p tio n s, in c lu d in g a reporting exception. He said while the state can require reporting, it c a n 't tak e aw ay so m e o n e 's F irst A m e n d m en t rig h t to m ak e the expenditures if the requirement isn't followed. "The state cannot take away your right to engage in that core political speech," Zinn said. Among other points, he said the Osterbergs also are challenging the law 's p ro v isio n allow ing p riv ate lawsuits for damages, and contend that the evidence doesn't show they knowingly violated the law, which they say is necessary for a violation to have occurred. "W e do not want to punish peo­ ple for the unsophisticated exercise of their free-sp eech rig h ts," Zinn argued to the court. Ju stices asked w hether the law only requires a person to knowingly make an expenditure, not necessari­ ly know it was a violation. El Paso lawyer M ichael R. "M ickey" M illi­ gan, representing Peca, said if the law is in te rp re te d to re q u ire a knowing violation, it won't work. "W e c a n n o t p ro v e s o m e o n e 's thoughts," he told the court. "If that is the requirement, this statute has no teeth." Milligan also defended the law's provision allowing private lawsuits for damages, saying it saves taxpay­ ers money by avoiding the need for a state bureaucracy. "This is capitalism at its best," he said.

Austin's own tango ensemble, Tosca, named after the Puccini opera, features the influence of the popular tango nuevo with an unmatched energy, unique to the Austin musicians. The synergy of Tosca compliments the musicians' diverse musical back­ grounds, ranging from the classical discipline to the edgier rock sounds of punk. The brainchild of the eight-piece group is Glover Gill. Musically, every project he involves himself in seems to tu rn to gold. Until recently, he played with the local jazz phenoms 8 V2 Souvenirs. The first tango Gill wrote for 8 / 2 Souvenirs appeared on Souvonica. But while the band was being signed to the RCA label, he departed so he could devote himself full time to composing tango. Following the release of Souvonica, a good friend of Gill's presented him with an Astor Piazzolla record. Piaz- zo lla's h a u n tin g "tango nu evo" sound was the catalyst that inspired Gill's change to tango. "I didn't listen to anything else for a week!" said Gill. "After listening [to Piazzolla] for I don't even know how long, I wrote a couple of new tangos and p re sen ted them to th e Sou­ venirs." While tango is not a far cry from the classical and jazz disciplines, Gill so u g h t o u t o th er m usicians w ho were classically trained and could read his arran g em en ts. Luckily, Tosca's musicians are also classically trained, and it was a good match. After hearing what he had written, he m ade up his m ind to continue writing for Tosca. The process of com posing new songs is a laborious one which Gill takes upon himself. He sits at the piano thinking out ideas and then writes arrangements for the piano, bass, strings and the accordion, all of w hich he can play. On average it n C f l l / takes about three weeks to complete an arran g em en t, and then eight hours to write the individual parts for the musicians to play. -"It's a good thing my calligraphy is impeccable," says Gill. The resulting sound fits like a well- tailored suit. W hereas the traditional tango is achingly melodramatic and lovelorn, the "tango nuevo," re-invented by Piazzolla, combines the neoclassical influences of Igor Stravinsky with the in stru m en tatio n of A rg e n tin a 's national tango, the accordion and the bandoneón. Tosca, the next generation of tango, invokes the traditional sullen mood through piano, bass, violins, viola, cello and accordion. Yet their sound is not a lifeless copy of nostalgia, but one of youth matured by experience. This youthful exuberance surfaces in their music. The strings soar into a haunting echo with an increasingly restless tempo. Over 80 percent of their material is original, featuring all UT graduates. Vocal accom panim ent is sparse, usually limited to one song per set. Robert Kraft, sound technician and vocalist for Tosca, adheres to the less is more philosophy when it comes to vocals. He doesn't mind learning the lyrics in Spanish or French, for he sees his singing as a point of refer­ ence for the audience. Aware of his audience, Kraft is hesitant to increase his vocal perfor­ mance in the band. "[Tosca] doesn't need any embell­ ishment, and if people can't appreci­ ate w haf s going on instrumentally, they're not going to sit through a whole show anyway," says Kraft. Tango fans can appreciate Tosca's music three times a week. The band plays regularly to crow ds at The Continental Club, Cedar Street and the Ritz, where Tosca got their start. Wednesday nights, Tosca travels to Houston's Orchid Lounge. "It's nice to have regular shows," says Ames Asbell. Playing at different venues pro- ‘Rainbow’ lacks color From loft Leigh Mahoney, Laura Hicks, Ames Asbell, Erik Grostic and Sara Nelson of the tango group Tosca. vides Tosca w ith different atm os­ pheres and audiences. Monday per­ formances are mellow, with Cedar Street's outdoor patio packed with people lounging around its iron tables and rocking chairs. Most people who are listening to Tosca order drinks and smoke cigars from the indoor shop. The Ritz is a more energetic show, because they have dancers, which always adds drama to Tosca's set. As Tosca, th a t probably is not where they'd find their crowd, but at least two members have played the Emo's stage in the past, as well as other rock clubs. Pianist Jeanine Att- away, former member of The Ham- micks, thinks that they are limited to certain venues because of a lack of pianos at area clubs. When they are not playing togeth­ er, you may still run into the mem­ bers of Tosca at vario u s venues around Austin. "We've never been asked to play at Emo's," says bass player Erik Grostic. "The first tim e we played on KOOP, we had to carry the piano to the studio on the third floor because the sound technician for the other studio w asn't available," says Att- away. Like Attaway, Grostic, aka "The Butcher," also has his roots in the Ryan Brow n/O A ILY T E X A N STAFF rock scene. The prolific bass player has prior experience playing with the Golden Arm Trio and currently plays in Gamblor. It is an unlikely com bination to have a musical family that ranges from punk to lyric opera to tango, and even more unlikely that it would sound as good as it does. "I didn't know if this was going to work, and I w asn't sure w hat we were going to sound like," says Gill. Judging from the au d ien ce's response, Tosca is on the right track. The energetic and classic tango style is on if s way to becoming as popular as Gill's other musical endeavors. people briefs Spice Girls lifestyle may promote teen pregnancy ■ LOND ON — The Spice Girls, who gave Girl Power to a genera­ tion of teens, may be unw ittingly encouraging teen pregnancy, an educator says.

All 15 public schools had been closed, keeping some 10,000 pupils out of class, after the rem nants of Tropical Storm Charley caused dead­ ly flooding. Floodwaters claimed at least nine lives and left hundreds homeless as the storm dumped up to 20 inches of rain in and around Del Rio in a 24- hour period beginning Aug. 23. Six .people remained missing Tues­ day, according to the Texas Depart­ ment of Public Safety. The San Felipe Del Rio Consolidat­ ed Independent School District begán helping its pupils resum e classes Tuesday by arranging for transporta­ tion of students who remain out of their homes. "O ur buses are going to all the locations where the displaced chil­ dren are," M ayor Robert Chavira said. "W e'll go to the motels or the re la tiv e s ' h o u ses, and ev ery o n e w ill go to th e ir reg u lar sch o o ls, even if they are living in another school zone." The biggest problem facing schools was the lack of safe water. Local offi­ cials on Tuesday were still instructing Del Rio residents to boil city water before drinking it. Meanwhile, Del Rio students and teachers have been among the 200 or so volunteers at the Salvation Army Distribution Center, using their unex­ pected vacation for public service. "At the beginning it was very hard for me, because I'm a very emotional person. I w ent hom e m entally exhau sted from the stories I had heard ," said Estela D om inguez, a kindergarten teacher at Travis Ele­ mentary, and lately a volunteer at the distribution center. "But I've learned. It's sad to say, but it took som ething like this to bring us all together," she said. Brad Breckenridge, an eighth-grad­ er, said he will miss his few days as a "runner," helping people find relief supplies. "I'v e actu ally kind o f enjoyed being here. It's better than being at home watching TV, and it's helping people," he said. About 400 people each day have come to load up grocery carts with rice, flour, canned goods, beans, sugar and other staples, said Salva­ tion Army Capt. Eddie Lopez. In addition to food, water, clothing and cleaning supplies, the Salvation Army is providing cash vouchers for supermarkets and general merchan­ dise stores in town. l Z ^ T ' miníVic,tírm s the site of the a ccid e n t T u e sd a y near the tow n of A ra ra s, Brazil.

Page 20 Wednesday, September 9,1998 T h e Daily T exan Prosecutor says McDougal stole $150,000 from Mehta Associated Press S A N T A M O N IC A , C a lif. — S u sa n M cD o u g a l s to le $ 1 5 0 ,0 0 0 from con d u cto r Z ubin M ehta and his wife by writing checks to herself and using the couple's credit cards for personal purchases, a prosecutor said Tuesday as the W hitew ater fig­ ure went on trial for embezzlement. "T h ere doesn't seem to be a sin­ gle acco u n t that Susan d id n 't dip into whether she had her name on it or n o t," prosecutor Jeffrey Semow said. "Susan McDougal w as playing fa st an d lo o se w ith th e M e h ta s' checking account." M cD ougal p urchased item s for h erself using the M eh tas' d e p art­ ment store credit cards but indicat­ ed in a c c o u n tin g b o o k s th a t th e item s w ere for the co u p le's foster daughter or their rental properties, Semow said. A m ong the credit card purchases w ere $695 at I. Magnin for clothes su p p osed ly for the M ehtas. There w ere also $304 w orth of w om en 's clothes from Bullock's recorded as linens for the Mehtas' rental proper­ ties, he said. " T h i s is only a small a m o u nt of w h at M cD ougal charg ed u p , " he said. McDougal, 43, worked as a book­ keeper and personal assistant to the M e h ta s from 1989 to 1992. Sh e is charged with embezzlem ent and tax fraud, accused of using the couple's ch e ck s and c re d it c a rd s w ith o u t authorization. Defense law yer M ark J. G eragos was about 25 minutes into his open­ in g s ta te m e n ts , s p e a k in g a b o u t M ehta's alleged infidelity, when the judge cleared the cou rtroom . Tw o new sp ap er reporters protested but th e ju d g e told th em to call th e ir lawyers. G eragos began his opening state­ m ent by saying that Mehta knew about the purchases in question and has been out to get his client. "T h is is a crim e of passion. The passion here is Nancy M ehta's pas­ sion and her passion for Susan and w h at she's done and the com plete fabrication that she has perpetuated on m y client for the past five y ears," he said. T h e d e fe n se la w y e r a lso sa id M ehta had fathered ch ild ren o u t­ side of his marriage, at which point the ju d ge cleared the co u rtro o m . The judge later ended the day's pro­ ceed in g w ithout bringing the jury back. Geragos also gave the judge four n e w s articles about the unrelated W hitew ater probe that M cD ougal apparently found in the courthouse bathroom. McDougal, a former Whitewater busin ess partner of President Clin­ ton's, spent 18 months behind bars rather than testify before the federal g ra n d ju ry in v e s tig a tin g C lin to n . She also served 3/i months of a two- y e ar W h itew a ter-related sen ten ce f r a u d u le n tly o b ta in in g a fo r $300,000 loan in 1986. She w as freed from p riso n b e ca u se of a painful back condition. As she headed to court Tuesday, McDougal said she was looking for­ w ard to the trial. The embezzlement case w as filed five years ago. "It's been five years of m y name being dragged through the mud. ... Today I get to fight b ack," McDou­ gal said. McDougal had lived a luxurious lifestyle in Arkansas but w as unable to m ain tain h er e x p e n siv e ta stes after m oving to California in 1987, Semow said. M eh ta an d his w ife , N a n c y , " w e r e a g o ld e n o p p o r tu n ity for a n y o n e and so m e o n e like S usan McDougal with a passion for luxu­ ry, a p assion for sp end ing m oney and a passion for living h ig h ," he said. If c o n v ic te d o f all c o u n ts , she faces a m axim um sentence of seven years and four months in prison. The case is unrelated to W hitew a­ te r p r o s e c u to r K e n n e th S ta r r 's in vestigation , and S up erior C ourt Judge Leslie Light ruled previously th at th e re w ill be no m en tio n of Starr during the embezzlem ent trial. McDougal still faces federal trial in Arkansas, where she was charged w i t h and ob s tru ctio n for refu sing to testify before Starr's grand jury. c o n t e m p t c r i m i n a l Floods ravage southern Mexico; 31 dead in Chiapas Associated Press S A N C R I S T O B A L D E L A S C A S A S , Mexico — S w o lle n rivers c h u rn in g with mud after nearly a w e e k o f heavy rains s w e p t aw ay hou ses, bridges and h u g e trees in s o u t h e r n M e x ic o on T u e s d a y .
