The new changes are in response to this past summer's record-breaking enrollment of 1,4% provisional students, twice the amount of the 1999 summer session, which had approximately 785. The impact of .this number, coupled with more than 21,000 applicants for this fall, has forced the University to halt admissions for the Spring 2001 semester. UT administrators said they are con­ sidering allowing only 600 new provi­ sional students to enroll in the summer session. Unlike the current system, however students would be guaran­ teed admission for the fall. Those applicants who are not admit­ ted by the University can be offered admission to other UT System campus­ es, such as UT-Arlington, San Antonio and El Paso. After completing 30 cred­ it hours at a UT System component school students would be given auto­ matic admission into the University, though they would have to apply to individual colleges. "The admissions have been so large that we've lost orderly control of admissions and we have to do some­ thing to revise it," UT President Larry Faulkner said. Under the current system, any Texas high school graduate is accepted under the provisional program's open-door policy. They must then complete four courses during the summer, have a GPA of 225 and no failing grades in order to be accepted as freshmen for the fall semester. P r o v is io n a l: S u m m e r 2 0 0 1 Proposed Syrtem: •600 applicants admitted to sum­ mer session Accepted stu­ dents guaran­ teed admission for the fall (They would not be required to meet the currently requited 2.25 GPA) •The remaining applicants wouid be admitted into other UT system schools •Alter comple­ tion of 30 hours, these students could automati­ cally transfer to UT at Austin .

Debby passes Puerto Rico, moves toward Florida " _ _ . ____a By The Associated Press SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — In what could be the calm between the storms, Hurricane Debby dealt Puerto Rico and other islands a glancing blow and headed over open warm waters that could feed its growth on a path toward the Bahamas ana Florida. The storm, dubbed "Little Debby" so fat should increase its wind speeds to 105 mph by an expected Friday approach southeast of Miami, said Krissy Williams, a forecaster at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. At 5 a.m. Wednesday, Debby was moving west-northwest 80 miles northwest of the Dominican Republic and 200 miles southeast oi Grand Turk. It had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, just above hurricane strength. The Bahamas began sending soldiers to sever­ al southern islands chi Tuesday and planned to send more to other islands Wednesday to prepare for the storm. In Florida, emergency officials urged southern residents to begin paying dose attention to m m r k "We're like everybody e weather reports. "We're like everybody else, said Elizabeth Hirst, spokeswoman for Gov. Jeb Bush. "In the wait-and-see mode Hurricane warnings were posted for the lurks and Caicos, the southeastern and central Bahamas and the north coast of the ITomimcan Republic. Hurricane watches were in effect for the northern parts of the Bahamas, Haiti and C uba. Forecasters may post a hurricane watch in South Florida on Wednesday, Williams said. As a relatively minor hurricane on luesday, Debby brought some rain and little apparent damage to the U.S. territones of Puerto Rico and the U S. Virgin Islands and a number of small islands like Antigua and Anguilla. "This storm was quite confusing in terms of all the various changes it made," Gene Walker, emer­ gency response leader tn the Virgin Islands, said Tuesday.

Associated Press photos Officials: I T seeking to curb growth ENROLLMENT, from 1 He said there is an added pressure on Texas schools because of enhanced recruit- ing and retention efforts. “Beside just looking at demographics, this state is really trying to get more people of all backgrounds to get into and succeed in higher education," he said. Jim Vick, vice president for student affairs, said the University will not contin­ ue expanding enrollment, noting that it has already taken steps to level growth, such as in the not accepting Spring 2001 Semester. transfer students Kevin Sullivan, senior adviser to the U.S. Secretary of Education, said in states that like Texas, expect enrollm ent increases, schools are going to face problems in ensur­ ing that all students have access to higher education. "Most colleges are full right now, so many colleges have to become more selective," Sullivan said. "But our message to educators is you have to find room for these kids." The national center's report also projected national higher education expenditure increas­ es of 29 percent over the next 10 years. Spending is expected to reach $302.6 billion by the 2009-2010 fiscal year — a jump of more than $67 billion for 2000-2001, the report cites. However, Vick said it's impossible to know what spending on higher education in Texas will amount to in the next 10-15 years. "No one can say right now whether funding for state universities will grow dramatically, but I'm sure there will be requests for more, Vick said. "We'll definitely be hoping for that." Vick said educators are hopeful that stu­ dents in Texas colleges and universities will earn their degrees in a more timely fashion, thus giving institutions room to bring in and educate more students. Sullivan said along with pushing students to graduate in four years, the alternative of allow­ ing students to take classes online could reduce the pressure of growing enrollments. But he added the percentage of students who will become full-time, traditional students is expected to grow, thus making it likely that those students would prefer taking courses in actual classrooms. Proposed plans ‘not cookie-cutter’ BLANTON, from 1 Christian Wofford, an architec­ ture /Plan II senior and co-founder of Advocates Innovative Campus Architecture, said he was disappointed with the two firms chosen by the selection committee. for "This is definitely not a good thing for the University," Wofford said. "I think they just chose two firms that would adhere to the mas­ ter plan." Wofford added that the regents' earlier decision turn down Herzog & de Meuron's original pro­ to posal was an insult to the field of architecture. UT President Larry Faulkner, who chairs the 12-member commit­ tee in charge of selecting a new firm, said Wofford's criticism was unfair. While the master plan is emphasized, it is only to be used as a tool, Faulkner said. "These firms were chosen for their vast experience and their ver­ satile approach to the project," Faulkner said. "These firms are not going to create cookie-cutter build­ ings, they're really engaged in the project."

Participation from other UT System schools is also required. Faulkner added that it is likely that the provisional system will undergo revision in time for the 2001 Summer session. "We could admit as large of a sum­ mer class [next year] as last year's pro­ gram had and it would allow us to pre­ serve the principle that any graduate from a Texas high school with a strong demonstrative performance can earn their way into UT-Austin." In addition, Faulkner said students who were accepted for the summer could enter foe University at ^ less stressful pace, without having to worry about earning a 2.25 GPA in a set cur­ riculum. Larry Carver associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts, who serves as dean for the provisional program, agreed that foe current system needs to be changed. "We've got to control our enrollment somehow," he said. "I think part of the thinking is that fewer people will actu­ ally take this option {to go to other UT campuses]." Carver explained that although many students are likely to choose another university or even to stay at one of foe other system schools after spend­ ing a year there, but limiting the growth of the student body is essential. "The quickest way to undermine the quality of the University of Texas is to nbt control the enrollment," he said. the education at Currently Carver said he is looking into what curriculum students would take over the summer and how long their terms would be under the pro­ posed plan. Rob Hower, a software engineer and the UT graduate who entered University via the provisional program in 1993, said he is concerned about the proposed change because the provi­ sional program has given many stu­ dents like himself a better chance to make it into the University. "[The provisional program] gave me a opportunity to prove to myself that I had what it takes to get into UT," he said.

Clinton will make a second journey to Africa this weekend to pay a visit to Nigeria, the oil-rich nation that the White House has sought to groom into a great African stabilizer, and Tanzania, where Nelson Mandela has been negotiating peace in Burundi, scene of seven years of civil war that has left 200,000 dead. Clinton's aides proudly note that the way Nigeria eased out of a dictator's grip into an elected government in just two years proves that his African poli­ cies are yielding fruit and serve as a harbinger for what those policies will generate in other countries.

WASHINGTON — New guidelines to allow federal financing of human embryo cell research could prompt a revolution in medical science, leading to dramatic new ways to treat virtually ever)' human disorder. But anti-abor­ tion groups are vigorously opposed, saying the research means "you have to kill a human embryo." The guidelines, issued Wednesday by the National Institutes of Health, allow federal financing for research with stem cells that have been removed from human embryos. The rules forbid research on die embryo itself, which is ¡ Experts say the effect will be that privately financed researchers will remove stem cells from embryos — which already has been done at two universities — and that these stem cells could be used in federally financed studies. Opponents quickly denounced federal research with embryo cells. "You have to kill a human embryo to get them," said Douglas Johnson, legislative direc­ tor of the National Right to Life Committee. He vowed: 'There will be a legal challenge." Stem cells form very early in the gestation of a human being. They are the predecessors of all the tissues in the body — the heart, brain, skin and bone. Scientists have found that the embryonic stem cells can be prompted to evolve into the individual types of cells found in each of the organs of the body. President Clinton said the stem cells offer "potentially staggering benefits' for a wide variety of medical conditions. Last week Great Britain's government said it would introduce legislation to allow similar research in that nation. Dr. John Gearhart of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore said research with lab mice had shown that stem cells can restore nerve tissue and some function following stroke or spinal cord injury. The cells can also regrow bone marrow lost to disease or radia­ tion, he said. "We believe that stem cell research will enable us to treat many diseases in a whole new way," said Dr. Paul Berg, a Nobel laureate from Stanford University. Some researchers believe it may eventually be possible to nurture stem cells into whole new organs. They talk of growing new' hearts, lungs and livers to restore health to ailing humans. At least 60 members of Congress opposed the new guidelines. dead. 73 missing in Gulf Air crash By The Associated Press MANAMA, Bahrain — A Gulf Air Airbus A320 on a flight from Cairo with 143 people on board crashed Wednesday night in die waters of the Persian Gulf after circling and trying to land in Bahrain. U.S. Navy helicopters, destroyers and an ocean-going tug with a 10-ton crane joined the nighttime search and rescue effort, three or four miles off the northern coast of Bahrain, which is headquarters of the U.S. 5th Fleet. Seventy bodies were recovered within the first hours after the crash and no survivors were found, said Bahraini Civil Defense Com m aifler Brigadier Abdul-Rahman Bin Rashed A1 Khalifa. He told state-run television that divers will begin a search for the flight's voice cockpit and data recorders at first light. An air traffic controller at the Bahrain air­ port, reached by telephone, described watch­ ing the plane circle the runway twice in an attempt to land, then on the third attempt plunge into the sea and explode into flames. The controller, who spoke on condition of anonymity, saw no flames or sign of trouble before the crash and could not immediately explain why the plane circled before landing. He said the plane's crew did not report any­ thing out of the ordinary. He gave the time of the crash as 10:30 a.m. "I could not believe my eyes," said Sobeih, 27, a resident of the nearby neighborhood of AJ-Fodha who saw the crash. "When I saw it heading toward the sea nose down, I screamed 'Oh my God, this thing is going down.'" Sobhi and Riyadh, 24, another Al-Fodha res­ ident said the plane flew over their heads at an unusually low altitude heading to the runway, but took a sharp turn toward the sea. Both men, who would not give their full names, said the plane returned minutes later flying at an even lower altitude but headed straight to the sea where it crashed. They said unusual noises came from the plane's engines, but they saw no flames.

It comes less than a week after it was disclosed, on the day of Gore's acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention, that Independent Counsel Robert Ray has impaneled a new grand jury to decide whether President Clinton should be indicted after he in connection with his leaves relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. for office Exposure to other kids’ germs found to promote good health Early exposure to other youngsters and their germs appears from developing asthma later on, according to a study that could reassure parents feeling guilty about putting their infants in day care. to protect children The study found that children who attended day care in their first six months or had two or more older siblings were about half as likely to have asthma at age 13 as youngsters who had one or no older siblings and did not attend day care until they were older. This echoes the hot new "hygiene theory" that says children who do not get outside and get dirty every now and then are not being exposed to enough germs to stimulate proper development of their immune systems. The findings come amid an unexplained explosion of asthma among children and worries that smaller families and households scrubbed with antibacterial cleansers could be weakening our immune systems. Typhoon Bilis leaves Taiwan with 1 1 fatalities in its wake TAIPEI, Taiwan — Typhoon Bilis swept over Taiwan, killing 11 people, injuring 80 others and stranding thousands in makeshift shelters before moving over open water Wednesday and whirling into southern China. Rescuers recovered the bodies of seven farmers and a 6-year-old girl buried in a mudslide in the mountainous village of Jenai, Interior Minister Chang Poh-ya said. The victims were washed from a temporary shelter to the bottom of a creek, but seven other farmers escaped to report the accident. It took rescuers hours to reach the remote village, moving cranes and tractors through roads blocked by landslides. Powerful winds ripped off electncal wires that killed a woman outside the capital, Taipei, and a construction worker died when a retaining wall collapsed in the suburbs, the government said. A man died after he was hit by a door knocked down by strong winds. About 80 people were injured by fallen utility poles and other objects, officials said. In eastern Hualien county, about 250 houses collapsed in the winds, officials said. The typhoon flooded rice paddies and fruit farms, causing $48 million in agricultural damage, officials said. Russia opens day of mourning for victims of submarine tragedy « MOSCOW — Russians lowered flags to half-staff Wednesday and lit candles in churches in in a nuclear memory of 118 sailors killed submarine as the vast nation marked an official day of mourning. The loss of the Kursk, which suffered a devastating explosion during naval exercises in the Barents Sea, has left many Russians in shock, wondering if their crisis-ridden nation will ever return to stability. Former submariners wept in the streets, and many Orthodox churches held all-night vigils. President Vladimir Putin asked television stations to refrain from running entertainment shows, but regular programming continued during the morning, including soap operas. Some stations honored the dead by showing the names of the crew with pictures of the Kursk. But at Vidyayevo, the Kursk's base, a mourning ceremony was canceled at die request of sailors relatives, many of whom want such a rite delayed until tire bodies are brought up from the wreck, according to Russian news reports. ported at San Diego and part of the USS George Washington carrier battle group, which happened to be in port in Bahrain. The Navy also sent two SH-60 Sea Hawk and one H-3 Sea King helicopters and the USNS Catawba, a tug used in recovering downed aircraft, to aid in the search and rescue mission, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said. Gulf Air said in a statement that 135 passen­ gers and eight crewmembers were on board Flight GF072. Weeping relatives of Flight GF072 passen­ gers pleaded with policemen who threw a security ring around the airport outside the capital, Manama. The airport controller later said the terminal was crowded with relatives of the passengers and crew and echoing with the sound of their cries. A huge traffic jam swiftly built up the length of the five-mile road to the airport. Two helicopters hovered low over the site of the crash with their floodlights switched on. Bodies retrieved from the scene were being fer­ ried in ambulances to the Salmaniya hospital, the country's largest, according to doctors. Information Ministry officials had had no immediate word on the cause of the crash or confirmation of the number of p eo p le^n board. Airbus A320 planes can seat 150 passen­ gers, according to the manufacturer's Web site. In Cairo, only a handful of relatives of the passengers were at the airport in search, of information on the fate of their loved ones and friends. There were angry scenes w'hen one relative tried to attack news cameramen and com­ plained about the lack of information on the fate of the passengers. The Gulf Air office at the airport was closed.

Report: U.N. needs modem defense organization to build peace ■ I By The Associated Press The United Nations will face more peacekeeping failures in the 21st century without a major overhaul, according to an international panel that called Wednesday for the equivalent of a U.N. ministry of defense to bolster the world body. The panel of experts was appointed by Secretary- General Kofi Annan to look at U.N. peacekeeping operations after highly critical reports on the U.N. per­ formance in the 1994 Rwanda genocide and the 1995 fall of the U.N .-protected enclave of Srebrenica, which led to the massacre of thousands of Bosnian Muslims. The 10-member panel did not endorse a United Nations army, but it did encourage the 188 U.N. mem­ ber states to form several brigade-size forces of 5,000 troops each that could deploy in 30 to 90 days, depending on the complexity of the U.N. peacekeep­ ing operation. The 58-page report called for a substantially larger, modernized, high-tech U.N. peacekeeping depart­ ment in New York staffed by well-trained military pro­ fessionals who use information technology and plan operations with a U.N. team including political, human rights, development and election experts. It did not give a price tag. At the moment, the panel said, just 32 officers at U.N. headquarters are responsible for 27,000 U.N. troops from 20 countries scattered across the globe in 14 peacekeeping operations — a staff that no national government would tolerate. Similarly, it said, more than 8,600 civilian police are deployed in U.N. mis­ sions with a headquarters staff of only nine police. The report said the need for changes in U.N. peace operations has become even more urgent following the hostage-taking of 500 U.N. peacekeepers by rebels in Sierra Leone in May, and the prospect of expanded U.N. peacekeeping operations in Congo. Annan asked the panel to make recommendations to improve prospects for peace in the 21st century', which he wants world leaders to consider at the Summit at u .N. head. ^ The United Nations must have "the tools" to address any conflict situation — from prevention to actual enforcement — and at the moment it doesn't have the headquarters staff, the troops, money, or the have the headquarters staff the troops, money or me — — information to properly analyze and plan strategically, said former Algerian Foreign Minister Lakhdar peo 8 P quarters m New York. Brahimi, who chaired the panel "I very, very much hope the member countries are going to put their money where their mouth has been if they really believe in this organization, Brahimi told a news conference launching the report. The historic meeting presents a unique opportunity to begin renewing the United Nations' capacity to secure and build peace," the secretary-general said in letters asking the Security Council and General Assembly to circulate the report to U.N. member states.

About as bold and daring as cardboard, the two firms appear to be sufficiently im po­ tent architecturally to please the staunchest of petty and closed-minded regents. # Michael Graves has built a reputation by designing housew ares like toasters and clocks for such cutting-edge com panies as Target. But it w as his Allesi teapot design, with a cute birdie on the spout, that gained him international acclaim. K now ledge of housew ares and leather g o o d s is undoubtedly important in this era of architectural design, but perhaps it's not the best background for designing world-class art m useum s. How ever Graves' work extends beyond intenor design — his com pany has designed num erous buildings around the world. One of the Graves' claims to fame is the Michael C. Carlos M useum at Emory University which bares an eerily striking resemblance to the Moffett M olecular Science Building here at the University. The other finalist for the Blanton project, and the one with a larger body of work, is Kallman McKinnell & Wood. Kallman has designed projects for num erous uni­ versities, residential properties and athletics facilities. And while any firm that w ould be willing to forgo artistic integrity in order to "reconcile divergent opin­ ions" am ongst the regents should be suspect, it appears that Kallm an is head-and-shoulders above Graves. Provided that Kallman stays aw ay from excruciatingly banal designs like the Miller Performing Arts Center at Mfred University — a lengthy rectangular box with win- (Jows — it m ay prove to be better match for the Blanton Let's be perfectly clear. While both of these firms are well-established, neither has the respect, and consequent­ ly, the imagination, of the recently ousted H erzog & de Meuron. H erzog had the w isdom to realize that Austin desperately needed a world-class building to showcase one of the nation's premiere art collections. The firm bent over backw ards to accommodate the selection commit­ tee, submitting over 14 designs for the Blanton project. H ow ever, H erzog's bold design s were unfortunate enough to cross paths with two grandstanding regents, one the wife of a former governor and the other is look­ ing to be one in 2002. On behalf of all Texans, Regent Sanchez told the Sw iss architecture firm where they could stick their newfangled designs and opted to start the search all over again. But to avoid the kind of em barrassment that arises when som e­ one with no architectural experience denies millions of Texans a first-class m useum , Sanchez and Clements put themselves on the new search committee, ensuring the selection of firms like Michael Graves & Associates. ^ At a time when a tiny fishing town on the Spanish coast is receiving international attention and praise for Frank G ehry's the Guggenheim M useum, Bilbao, it's a shame that we Texans have to settle for far less. forward-thinking design of The regents m ade it painfully obvious to H erzog & de Meuron that they were the firm's clients, not foe people of Texas. And although most of foe money raised for foe Blanton has come from private donations (foe hot new fad on foe UT campus), its location on state property m akes it a public building for all Texans.

Opinion Testing Schmesting Difficult tests don't keep students from learning, but easy ones can. For everyone can answer, doesn't raise anyone's IQ, rather it just gives them a higher score. Fixing a test is simply treating an effect rather than its cause. Also, it's important to realize the context in which a particular standardized test is used, and it is illogical to create a test to p ass a pre­ determined number of people or to use a test out of its context. the G eorgetow n instance, school district u ses the Texas A ssessm ent of A cadem ic Skills (TAAS) test as a criterion for its hon­ ors program . The TAAS is designed to measure minimum skills. So using that test to select the bright­ est students at the school is ridicu­ lous. You may as well make the whole school 'honors' if it makes everyone feel smarter. If you lower the bar enough, everyone can jump over. Using low-level tests for high- level evaluation hurts the individual schools and condemns the brightest test of our youth to mediocrity. If the brightest Americans can no longer compete in the global market, the United States has issues that far out­ weigh any biased-test arguments. The current standardized tests are not the greatest, but they are also not biased. Knowing the type of ques­ tions to put on the tests is very diffi­ cult. Theoretically, the questions test steadfast concepts that m easure a person's ability an d /o r knowledge. Many math questions fall into this category, and how calculating the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be racially b iased is very unclear. Practically, stan dardized tests can sim ply be a feat of cramming quite useless information, such as random vocabulary words, into your brain. Anyone believing that the SAT or GRE vocabulary favors white males m ust think they all sit around the club wearing sw eaters around their necks spouting w ords like “ prelate" By Carey King Daily Texan Columnist at student A lm ost every the University has taken a standardized test at some point in their academic career. Arguments claiming bias in standardized tests abound, but for no good reason. Most arguments stem from the fact that minorities often perform more poorly on the tests than the majority (a.k.a. white males). Therefore, some claim that the tests create 'disparate outcomes'(whatever that means) that put minorities at a disadvantage to whites in obtaining an education. Thus, opponents of standardized testing want to change the tests to create dem ographics more proportional to that of the United States' population. There are several reasons why this idea stinks worse than armadillo road kill. not dictate Tests don't exist to create nice out­ comes. They are a means to measure progress, results. Gerrymandering a test to show that blacks can score as well as whites only proves that you can change your criteria to obtain a desired result. Tailoring questions that presumably and "venal." Some argye that affluent families can afford more tutoring and study aides for their children's college adm issions test. Thus, they believe that whites an d /o r the wealthy bene­ fit from these extra aides more than others. Well, to cancel out this effect, you must make the tests so easy that you end up with the TAAS test sce­ nario described earlier where there are too many high scores to be useful for distinguishing higher education candidates from one another. A quality educational testing sy s­ tem (i.e. more than one test) can test both low standards that all should achieve and high standards that most cannot achieve. There will still be the same amount of room for everyone in u niversities no matter how hard adm issions tests are. Difficult tests don't keep students from learning, but easy ones can. Constantly letting students know that a higher level of knowledge exists simply makes them work harder to get there. King Is a doctoral candidate In the Departm ent of Mechanical Engineering Out in left field Why does that weird guy in class som etim es eats dirt? In many societies all around the world it is considered not only norm al but actually beneficial to consum e certain kinds of earth. In Africa and other p laces, pregnant women regularly eat special kinds of earth, and in som e cultures clay is m ixed with bread or other foods as an extender. The practioe of earth-eating, also called geophagy [jee- O FF-uh-jee] has been alive for m illennia. T here are three main reasons for it. First, certain kinds of clay can provide m ineral nutrients not easily available else­ where (which is why it is often eaten by preg­ nant women). Second, som e types of m ineral earth are able to absorb toxins that would otherwise poi­ son us. Third, soft m ineral clay is a harm less, bulky filler that can extend bread and other staple foods during tim es of fam ine.

I am disappointed in the lack of coverage by The Daily Texan in regards to the Olympic swimming team trails that took place this week and last in Indianapolis. There are at least 40 swimmers there with ties to the University of Texas. Josh Davis, BJ Bedford, Scott Goldblatt, Neil Walker, Gary Hall, Tommy Hannon, Ian Crocker and Erin Phenix al have made the Olympic team and are either past, present or future Longhorns. There are countless other Longhorns who are competing there as well. The University's aquatic program is one of the elite. The program attracts the best. , The Texan only gave a small corner to the Men s Swimming Program after they won the NCAA National Title this past spring. When was the last time football pr basketball won a National title? Why is it that only contact sports receive personal news coverage? The Associated Press is okay for world news, but when there are events that involve Longhorns, it needs a personal touch. Lourenda Block UT staff Guadalupe gauntlet If there's one corridor in Austin in which pedes­ trian traffic deserves top priority, it's G uadalupe (between Dean Keaton and MLK of course). Am I right? Unfortunately, over the past few years, as a result of A ustin's unprecedented growth, the University "D rag" has become alarmingly congest­ ed with vehicular traffic; it's noisy, polluted, a visu­ al affront and, of course, a threat to the safety of the University's vast sea of academic pedestrians. Not too long ago, it seems, I recall having read about some plans to make improvements in this regard. What happened? Minimally, the University should work with the city to reduce the speed limit to a safer figure and help to strictly enforce it. Reducing the number of lanes for cars an d /o r increasing the width of sidewalks might serve to improve the situation as well; it might even con­ tribute to improving the quality of life on campus AND the quality of life in Austin. Schuyler Hupp UT staff and alum The state of Tex%s I would just like to comment on The Daily Texan's coverage of the Democratic convention this last Friday. I really loved the headline "Dem ocrats attack Texas, George Bush" and the wonderful insight that ensued. It's really interesting how the Democrats' discussion of problems in Texas (which of course can't be true, because goddamn, we re TEXAS) somehow becomes an insult to "21 Million citizens of the U.S.". It's very sad and telling how the abundance of child poverty, pollution, inafford- able health care and countless other problems plaguing this state becomes an afterthought when somebody actually criticizes a man who pretends that none of this exists. Texans are being used and they don't even know it. Bush knows how easily Texans can be manipu­ lated with their "Texan Pride" and he uses it to his every advantage. Just spit out a Don t Mess With Texas" and a slew of other patriotic platitudes dur­ ing your acceptance speech and BAM! you've just earned yourself an entire state. Don t even worry about discussing about such trivial things as say, ISSUES, because goddamn, you're talkin' about the great state of Texas (just make your cam paign one big Texas truck commercial). In all seriousness, a chimp that could sign “Don't M ess With Texas would probably get as much support from Texas as Bush is. What the Democrats have said recently about Texas' problems are real, and please don't let Bush's attempt to turn that into an insult on Texas as a whole fool you. It's very transparent what he's . doing. Please, Texas, see Bush for what he is — a spoiled little boy who is where he is because of his daddy. Any hollow talk about helping the everyday person is just that, hollow talk. Unless you're a wealthy, white male over 50, he has no aspirations to make your life any better. With over $82 million in dona­ tions from big business (i.e. pharmaceutical compa­ nies, polluting oil companies, etc.) he's bought and paid for. H e's on their side, not ours. .. . Calvin Westberg UT alum Beware Firestone During foe first week of July, my half brother John Moore (age 21) was driving his Ford Explorer when one of his Firestone Wilderness tires blew out Since he w as driving at low speed, he was okay. He thought little of it, since blowouts some­ tim es happen. He replaced his front two tires with new Wilderness tires. On July 19, John w as moving to Birmingham, Alabama, when he had a second blowout, causing him to flip on top of a divider then roll down a hill. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The horror and grief we have felt since then is indescribable. f Within a week of the funeral, I w as horrified and angry to find out that many other families across our nation and across the world were suffering with the same devastating loss of loved ones from foe same tires. Although I was still very angry, w as relieved to find out that Ford and Firestone were recalling the tires. However, when 1 returned to Austin a few days ago, I w as further horrified to find out that people I know are wait-listed for replacement tires. This is unconscionable. Lives are at stake. The known death toll has tripled in recent weeks. Ford and Firestone should be partnering with other tire com­ panies and dealerships for immediate replacement o f all recalled tires. It should not matter to them what brand people get, as long as the tires are safe.

T he Da m T exan August 24, 2000 U niversity TJT research teams receive grants By Patrick Badglcy Daily Texan Staff The U.S. Department of Energy granted approximately $3.5 m illion to the University for research that may increase the nation's produc­ tion of oil. The department developed the program to encourage research into new technologies and other methods that w ould make petroleum pro­ duction more efficient. Researchers at the University were awarded more money than researchers at other institu­ tions and received grants fór four of the 23 proj­ ects chosen in thg first round of technology funding. , « The four projects UT researchers will be con­ ducting include designing and testing a more accurate com puter model of oil and gas now based on oil production; studying the size and connectivity of rock fractures in fractured reser­ voirs where the rock provides pathways for oil; using a new chemical flooding simulator to improve model oil reservoirs and production and studying the foams created by injecting water, reactive substances and gases into oil reservoirs, which may increase the production potential of gas injection processes. Carlos Torres-Verdin, assistant professor in the Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering, and Mrinal Sen, senior research scientist at for Geophysics, received $1 million, the largest portion of the $3.5 million grant given to any UT research the Institute The two are working on the project that will improve computer modeling of oil and gas flow. Torres-Verdin said the program would allow reservoir engineers to better plan the extraction of oil, increasing production and reducing oper­ ating costs. In addition to the support from the govern­ ment, the University will donate approximately $1 million in financial assistance to help execute the projects. Tissue transparency may heighten advances Former UT OFPC director promoted to vice chancellor TWIRL GIRLS V . V *a ‘ c b * i] -t s ByMfrayMpp DaNy Texan Staff A team of UT researchers have devised a way to make rodenttis- sue become transparent, a process which could lead to more med­ ical advances, UT scientists said. While the process is nothing like the science fiction fantasy depict­ ed in Hollow Man, it could lead to advances in ^ j u r g « y , tiunor treatment and glucose detection, said Dr. Ashley> Wddv ITT profes­ sor of biomedical engineering and the project's ^ e f mveshgtor. By injecting die fluid glycerol into hamsters and rats, scientists succeeded in temporarily dehydrating subjects' tissue, skin transparent up to three millimeters deep for more than comm­ utes. The process lets researchers see with the naked eye five times deeper into the test animals. Welch used the metaphor of fog to explain how the process reduces refraction of light when it hits the skin. When a light is shown through dense fog, water ™ lecules refract the light in many different directions. But when the mole­ cules are drawn together into a pool of water fight can easily pass ^ n c e 't h e molecules that compose tissue also scatter fight m a similar fashion, a creature's skin is naturally opaque. When glycerol is added, water is pushed out of the tissue, shrink­ ing molecules together. like the pool of water this procedure ren­ ders the areas temporarily transparent. While some have questioned whether this process will eventual­ ly lead to the ability for a person to become completely invisible, Welch said, the process aims to advance medical treatment "When you're trying to change fight scattering in tissue, mere are certain limits to what you can do there," he said. Welch added that while the process may have future applica­ tions for medical procedures on humans, more tests must be done ^ ' ^ r e l l T d ^ T h a v e any ideas of foe toxidties," he said.

Gov. Rick Perry proposed a series of bonds Tuesday * intended to alleviate traffic conges- -tion by speeding up highway con­ struction. The current "pay-as-yóu-go" sys­ tem, in which the state requests feder­ al funds for highway construction as needed, is "running out of steam" and needs more funds available immedi­ ately, Perry said. "Using current venues to meet the needs to currently fund the highways has served Texas well over the years," said Perry's spokesman Eric Bearse. "With the booming population and explosion in truck traffic, it is time to look at other ways to compliment the pay-as-you-go system, so we can move more Texans and Texas prod­ ucts safely and reliably." Only 36 percent of the state s trans­ portation needs are being met, said Texas Department of Transportation spokeswoman Gaby Garcia. "A lot is going unmet — we don’t have available funding," Garcia said. "We're looking at other financing options to meet these needs — bond issues are one way of doing this. Perry suggested using bonds that would help speed up construction on highways by freeing-up more federal funds. The bond| are expected to be dis­ cussed at the next legislative session in the spring, Garcia said. "Interchanges, expanding road­ ways — all these things are a part of a need system, but we're not able to meet these needs, Garcia said, adding that Texas is being hurt eco­ nomically without speedy road con­ struction. "(Companies] want their products shipped out on time, on arrival while our infrastructure and traffic choke is hurting the economic growth of our state," Bearse said. While $11.3 billion has been funded for transportation projects statewide, Garcia said several delegations have asked for an additional $2 billion. Robin Brandon, manager of local retro clothing shop l egs D iam o n d said traffic congestion is a significant problem anywhere in the city. "Traffic is ridiculous all over Austin, it doesn't matter what time of day or where you go," she said. OH, THE REINDEER GAMES ..

Martinez worked for 18 years at the taxi­ dermist before he bought the business four years ago. He still finds time to hunt various game, which he believes Is an activity that holds “spiritual" value. TNRCC officials agree to study Texas’ role in global warming By The Associated Press A judge mled Wednesday that a videotaped statement given to police by one of three men charged in Austin's yogurt shop slayings can be used at trial. the State District Judge Mike Lynch rejected defense lawyers' arguments that statement by Robert Springsteen Jr. should be thrown out because police didn't read him his rights before interviewing him. Springsteen is one of three men fac­ ing capital murder charges in the 1991 killings of four teen-age girls at an I Can't Believe It's Yogurt shop in Austin. Lynch ruled Springsteen wasn't under arrest when he gave his state­ ment and that he could have left at any­ time. Therefore, there wasn't a require­ ment that police read him his rights, the judge said. Springsteen's attorneys also alleged the statement given in September 1W in Charleston, W. Va., was coerced. But the judge said it was voluntary. "The defendant was not cuffed and no weapons were used or conspicuous­ ly displayed," Lynch added. Defense attorneys said Springsteen wasn't surprised by the judge's ailing Attorney Joe James Sawyer suggested that defense lawyers now will try to use the taped statement to their best advantage at trial "We're there now. We'a' going to have a trial" Sawyer said. "It is my intention that that tape come in, because it is one of the strongest argu­ ments agaiast his guilt." Sawyer declined to say what in the tape might be favorable to Springsteen. The judge said he would meet with lawyers on both sides in the next two weeks to try to pinpoint a trial date. Police say Springsteen confessed while being in West interviewed Virginia, providing details that had been kept secret for years while impli­ cating two other men. Springsteen, 25; Maurice Pierce, 24, and Michael Scott, 26, are charged with capital murder in the slayings. Charges fourth suspect, Forrest against a Welbom, 23, were dropped in June when a grand jury7 refused to indict him. sisters Eli /a Thomas, 17, Amy Ayers, 13, and and Sarah Jennifer Harbison, ages 17 and 15, were killed Dec. 6, 1991, at the yogurt store. All were shot. One was strangled and sex­ ually abused. The store had been robbed and set on fire. Affidavits filed with the arrest war­ rants state that Springsteen and Scott said they planned the robbery7 that led to tire murders. They went into the yogurt shop and unlocked the back door then returned later, when they stole money and shot and killed each girl, the warrants say. Springsteen and Scott face the death penalty if convicted. Pierce, who was 16 when the crime occurred, faces up to life in prison if convicted.

But, "the whole process is so long and arduous, it's indescribable," she said. said Texas Citizens for a Sound Economy, a conservative group that has fought attempts to bring America into global emissions reductions plans. "Global warming, if it is occurring at all, is not regional. After all, we're not talking about regional warming," Venable said.

Environmental activists hailed the decision by the Texas Natural Resource • Conservation Commission as a critical step toward reducing emissions of car­ bon dioxide and methane, two gases that contribute to global warming. "Texas leads the nation in those emis­ sions," said Tom Smith, president of the Texas chapter of the public interest group Public Citizen. "We have begun to develop a p la n ... it's acknowledging we have a problem and taking the step» to solve the problem." Commissioners said their top priori­ ty remains reducing ozone levels in the smoggy Houston-Galveston area but aie willing to address concerns on glob­ al warming. The Commission has a December deadline to present federal officials with a final plan to deal with the Houston-Galveston smog problem. "I am committed to this issue and making some solid judgments in this said Commissioner Ralph case," Marquez. Environmentalists have asked the commission to develop a plan for deal­ ing with global warming and to require industrial sources to report to the state their emissions of carbon dioxide and methane emissions as well as óther gases. Although those figures are not cur­ rently reported, Smith said environ­ mentalists estimate Texas produces more of those gases than any other state and ranks seventh in the world. Department Gerald North, head of Texas A&M University's of Atmospheric Sciences, said that under current emissions levels, temperatures in Texas could rise between 1 and 8 degrees Fahrenheit over the next 100 years. Such a change would impact agriculture, water levels and weather patterns. Some groups, however, dispute whether changes in Texas emissions would have a long-range impact other than to potentially hurt the economy. They warn changes in fuel consump>- tion and sources could lead to higher gasoline prices, electric bills and lost jobs.

But the tact that Labor Ready made more than $850 million last year from doing such good deeds has made homeless people and their advocates angry.

The company takes at least 30 percent of incoming wages to cover w orkers-com p insurance costs, payroll taxes and other deductions, and overhead. "They take too big a cift," said James Fradenburg, 43. Defenders say Labor Ready brings order and accountability to the marketplace. "Welcome to the real world," said Christopher Jenks of Harvard University, author of The Homeless. "This is called capitalism.' A focus of Labor Ready workers' anger has been the fees it charges them to use cash machines located in com­ pany offices. The machines dispense the workers' pay, b u t a fee of $1 or more is deducted from each tran s­ action. Labor Ready workers in the Atlanta area sued the com pany last month, charging that it unfairly tar­ geted workers who must accept their salary in cash because they do not have bank accounts. Junck, the com pany's counsel, called the machines "a convenience for our w'orkers, although a Labor Ready filing with the Securities and Exchange C om m ission said the fees brought in $7.7 million in revenue last year. For client companies, Labor Ready takes the risk — and the paperwork — out of hiring from a high- risk labor pool. Many custom ers "are probably not m akin g enough money to hire a full-time person, said an a­ lyst Jeanne Ernst with First Security Van Kasper in San Francisco. "It's probably a godsend to have som ebody come in for two hours" or a couple days a week.

Weber Daily Texan Staff For a team that refers to its kick- off return unit the "Quick Six," the past two decades have been down­ right inert at Texas. And Victor Ike and Ivan Williams want to change just that. "It's been a really long time since we've had a good Quick Six team. For those of us on Quick Six this year, we just want to take it to the house," Dee said. "When someone scores a touchdown on a kickoff after all these years, the fans are going to go nuts. I can just imagine it." For the past 22 years, imagining scoring about as far as Texas return­ ers have gone. That's because They've certainly not made it to the end zone, where no kickoff return­ er has ventured since before Ike and Williams were bom. Johnny "Lam" Jones was the last Longhorn to achieve the feat with his 100- yard strike against SMU in 1978, but 254 games latex; a successor has yet to be found. Enter Ike and Williams, the run­ ning back tandem who will moon­ light as the starting Texas kickoff . . _ * 1 1 _ 1______ 1 returners when the season begins Sept. 9. The former is an agile speedster trying to rebound from a rookie year beset by injuries and all-too high expectations for him­ self, while the latter is a 235-pound redshirt freshman who employs his muscle more than his motor. Their simi­ lar numbers — Ike's No. 28 and Williams' No. 26 — s o m e t i m e s makes it diffi­ cult to differ between the two from the stands, but all Texas head coach Mack Brown wants is for the pair to not resemble the legions of former Longhorn returners who failed to find their way across the goal line. Ivan WMiams: Size will be an asset on returns. "We're trying to sell them on get­ ting a big return for the score," Brown said. "It's been like a long time, and it's time for us to do it." If one or the other does pull it off this season — an achievement which would break the longest t touchdown return drought in Division I football — their styles should be different. / l l V M I i Y n f I f l While Williams has yet to play a down for Texas, the 6-foot 1-inch bruiser has experience returning kickoffs. During his high school days at Cleveland, he returned four kicks for touchdowns in addition to the 2,552 yards he tallied as a running back, most of which were gathered through the bulldozer­ like fashion he prides himself on. "You got to find a hole, find a crease and get up there and go," Williams said. "It's either one-on- one or five-on-five, and I think I have Die ability to not go down on the first contact and bounce my way off people." Meanwhile, Ike will be entering his second campaign as a return man for Texas, attempting to better his team-high return average of 21.3 yards he amassed in 1999. The sophomore gathered two touch­ downs and 77 yards on 13 carries to earn the spotlight of the Horns' first preseason scrimmage Wednesday — an effort he modestly said "shouldn't be made a big deal out 8m RETURN, Pago 10 Running back Victor Ike tries to break free from a tackle by linebacker Marcus Wilkins.

Several members of the Missouri Tigers dodged just about every question there was about this sea­ son's talent, but with only a slight push you could get them going for hours upon hours about what a joy it was to watch Corby Jones and company near­ ly upset Nebraska two years ago. The past, not the present or future, is what runs deepest in the minds of the Tigers of 2000. "We had a great football team two years ago," Missouri associate head coach Ricky Hunley said. "We want to get back to where we were." It's pretty understandable why that's the case. The Tigers, a team three years removed from near­ ly thwarting Nebraska and making a claim at being one of the best teams in the league, finds themselves scurrying to the gutter of the Big 12 conference. Last year, the Tigers slipped to 4-7 and failed to go bowling for the first time in three years as they fin­ ished tied for fifth in the Big 12 North division with Iowa State. But this season, things look even more bleak for the Tigers. Missouri could be the worst team in the league, bar none. We hear all that talk about how bad we are and how bad we are going to be," star defensive end Justin Smith said. "You just try not to listen, and hope it's better than what other people think Don't keep your hopes up. Besides Smith, there aren't a heck of a lot of names on the Tigers roster that should strike fear into opponents. On offense, Missouri doesn't possess a Jones or even a Devin West that can nin the football with the same kind of authontv as they did and because of that, the Tigers have changed their option attack to a shotgun, go to the air type offense. In other words, the Tigers are copying the style of Oklahoma. "We took a look at which teams were most effec­ tive against our defense and the two teams that struck us on film were Western Michigan and OU," Hunley said. "So we've hired Bill Cubit from Western Michigan to bring that offense to our team, and hopefully teams won't be able to predict what we are doing as well as they did with the option. The only problem with that theory is that OU did what they did with Josh Heupel at quarterback.

A sso ciated Press % Sanders still talking, but teammates love him By The Associated Press ASHBURN, Va. — Deion Sanders, the man who would be different, made a tonque-in-cheek bid for football immortal- ity. "The game has changed," Sanders said Wednesday. "The position has changed. I think’ I had a lot to do with that. I don't know why they haven't even changed the name of the position yet. Instead of comer- back, just call it Deion." "I'm serious," Sanders 9aid. "Kids should say, 'I want to play quarterback, I want to play receiver, I want to play Deion.' That sounds pretty good." And so it went. Sanders was on a roll, making the most of one of the few moments in which he's held court since signing a $56-million contract to join the Redskins. Sanders has spent the last few weeks fig­ uring out Washington. Hie city and the team are returning the favor. The first thing that became apparent is that there are two very distinct Deions. The first one does everything to be noticed. He stands out on the practice i .. « , field, wearing long white socks and a skintight body suit under his uniform. He wears No. 2, his old number at Florida State, rather than the No. 21 he wears in games. He's the only player who doesn't strap his chin strap. He's the only one who doesn't go to the huddle. "You seem Prime Time out there," said receiver Irving Fryar, who eats lunch with Sanders most days. "When it's time to go, he's Prime. He's the man. He's putting the show on. But behind closed doors, he s Deion." And what's that like? "He's like Jesus, if you ask me," said Fryar, an ordained minister. "He cares about people, he loves people, he's soft- spoken. He has a sense of humor. He's a giving guy." Sanders found religion three years ago. Like everything else, he displays his prominently. IFs hard to imagine Fryar, for instance, sporting a "Jesus" burgundy bandanna. "There's the side that you want to talk about and the side that you don't. That's the only two sides to Deion," Sanders said. y/i mi .i —i a V u i H tArífVi Michael Jackson don't go to bed with his glove on. Eddie Murphy don't go to bed telling jokes and Jim Carrey doesn't either. You would want me to take my job home with me, just because I get excited doing what 1 do. You can't put me in a lit­ tle category, you can't place me inside of a little box, just because I love doing what I do." Sanders says he wants to "do stuff no one's ever before," which for him is the norm. He's the only person to play in both the World Series and the Super Bowl, the only player to both catch a pass and intercept one in the Super Bowl, and his 18 career touchdowns on returns is an NFL record. When he's at his best, he single-handedly alters the game by taking away the other team's best receiver. "My level is different," Sanders said. A lot of comers who you all compare me to today, they give up two catches, they're still a great comer. But if I give up two catches, 'He's lost a step,' and if s crazy. "My touchdown ratio for the last 10 years has been phenomenal, for plays I've given up and plays I haven't. 1 ni like in\/pn lifi And nlavs 1 haven t. 1 m li Humpty Dumpty, who sat on a wall, but this Humpty Dumpty has never fallen. So all the king's horses and all the king's men might as well go ahead and be Humpty fans." Away from the lights, Sanders has been conscientious, showing up early to work out and helping younger players like rook­ ie linebacker LaVar Arrington. "It's funny to me, when people ask me about Deion, they see him in his colored suit," said quarterback Brad Johnson, referring to the burgundy and gold getup Sanders wore on the day he signed. "Well, I've only seen him in sweatsuits and shorts. The perception's different from what really's out there." No matter what role he's playing it's clear that Deion Sanders loves being Deion Sanders. "It's fun to me. You get paid. People watching you," Sanders said. "We make a lot of money doing what we' re doing. This is a child's game, and somebody was a fool enough to pay us for it." Deion Sanders was described as “like A sso c ia te d P re ss Jesus” by one teammate. Here We Go Again Comets battle Liberty for WNBA title for the third time in four years By The Associated Press NEW YORK — The foes are famil­ iar. Yet, this year's WNBA fin is more than a basic East-West showdown. The best-of-three series between the New York Liberty and the three-time champion Houston Comets opens at Madison Square Garden before mov­ ing to Houston for Games 2 and 3. The series is full of subplots. The Comets — the only champions the WNBA has known in its history — returned to the finals for a fourth straight season, this time unexpected­ ly. « "We're amazed we are here," Houston coach Van Chancellor said. "How many thought it was going to be both coasts, L.A. and New York, in the finals? This team has the most pride of any team I've been involved with." The Comets (31-5) knocked off reg- ular-season champion Los Angeles in the West finals, and face a Liberty team that posted a 24-13 regular-sea­ son record and has won 13 straight games at the Garden. Chancellor is well aware of the Liberty's domination at home. 'New York is a vastly improved team from even a month ago, he said. "I know they are a better team. New York is playing as good as Los Angeles. I think the Liberty will be very good in handling the pressure. That's why I didn't want to play them in the finals." The Liberty can find their inspira­ tion for the series in a disappointing Game 3 loss in last year's champi­ onship, the second runner-up finish at the hands of the Comets. New York had forced a deciding Game 3 in last year's finals with a last- . i r*-» second, half-court shot by Teresa Weatherspoon. The league used the shot in its IV' ads to promote this sea­ son. Weatherspoon said this year s Liberty team is the most athletic that the Comets have faced. "Nobody believed in ourselves and our fans," she said. "We're a basket­ ball team, too, and they have to stop us." New York's Vickie Johnson said the Comets "were the best team in the league the past three years. They have three of the best players in the league. lit. 1__-___ We know Houston better than the\ know themselves." fK.in t Houston is led by Cynthia Cooper a former two-time MVP; MVP Sheryl Swoopes, who averaged 22.5 points and 7.5 rebounds against New ’York and Tina Thompson. But its success is rooted in its veteran supporting cast as well according to Chancellor. "We like veteran players," he said "They are willing to accept a role. Janeth Arcain and Tammy Jackson an* willing to accept a role. They don t have to have the limelight, they don't have to have the television." r New York captain Teresa Weatherspoon hopes prevent a Houston four-peat.

Well, maybe not 99 percent — but it’s sure up there. I feel better than I did four or five years ago. Ill be out there ready to play full time.” San Antonio Spurs guard Sean Elliott on his intentions to play next year in the NBA. whatS on deck While most of the talk about the Texas passing game has regarded the quarterbacks and the wide receivers, tight end will also be a key position for the Horns this season.

The Longhorns are coming off their 16th NCAA Tournament appearance in 1999-2000 and will face at least seven teams which played in the 2000 NCAA National Tournament and two from the 200 WNIT Tournament. Following two home exhibition games, Texas opens regular season play by hosting Wichita State on Friday, Nov. 10 in first round play of the Preseason WNIT at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin. The 16-team, single-elimina­ tion tournament annually showcases the top women's basketball programs in the nation. The Texas-Wichita State winner advances to play in the Grambling-Tulane winner Preseason WNIT second round action action two days later on Sunday, Nov. 12 at a site to be announced. Big highlights of the non-conference sched­ ule occur in December. Texas hosts the Four in the Fall Classic on Saturday, Dec. 9 and also hosts annual opponent Tennessee, the 2000 NCAA Tournament runner-up on Friday, Dec. 22. The Four in the Fall pairs North Carolina State and Texas Tech, followed by a Texas- Oregon matchup. Texas went 21-13 a year ago and advanced to its 16th NCAA Tournament showing in 18 years. Texas, seeded No. 7 in the West Region of the 2000 NCAAs, lost to No. 10 St. Joseph's, 69-48 in the first round of the tourney. New Jersey Inks toppick Martin to three-year, $H.3-mlllk>n contract EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Not five min­ utes into a news conference to announce the signing of the NBA's No. 1 draft pick, Kenyon Martin made a pre-emptive strike. “No questions about the leg," the New Jersey Nets new power forward said Wednesday after agreeing to a contract expected to be worth $11.3 million over three years. The 6-foot-9 Martin's readiness to play had been a question mark because of the broken right leg and ankle ligament damage that ended his senior season at Cincinnati in March. But Martin, fresh from a big man's camp in Hawaii, says he performed well against play­ ers like Austin Croshere, Sean Elliott and for­ mer Nets center Shawn Bradley. Coaches at the camp were saying, "Take it easy,"Martin said. "If I'm here, I'm not going to Axtell can’t sell music for profit until next spring, NCAA rules If country music is akin to the blues, Luke Axtell has plenty of song material. The Kansas basketball player whose career has been dogged by illness and a scandal at his former school, Texas, has run into some trouble with the NCAA over his singing career. The NCAA has ruled that Axtell can't sell or promote his new country CD The River Runs Dry until his eligibility expires next spring. Axtell had a CD release party at an Austin night club last week but has been told by the NCAA he must halt sales of the music by Thursday, the first day of school at Kansas. Axtell's parents, Mollie and Cal Axtell, said the family would comply with the order. About 2,000 of the CDs had been distributed to stores in Austin. "We're going to comply with the ruléis whether we like them or not," Axtell's parents said in a prepared statement. The NCAA prohibits student athletes from promoting any products, including ones they create. The rule is intended to prevent athletes from using their stature to sell products. — Compiled from staff and wine reports Associated Press Kenyon Martin signed a contract believed to be worth $11.3 million over three years with the Nets. take it easy." He described a moment when he blocked consecutive shots by Golden State's Adonal Foyle as one when he knew he was back and ready to play. With a month before training camp, Martin said he plans to buy a home with new wife Fatimah, and "get in basketball shape. Get in 82-game shape. Get in some shape where I can hopefully play 40 minutes a game. DROP US A LINE Have feedback, opinions or suggestions for DT sports? By all means, tell us about it.

TEXAS FOOTBALL NOTES While most observers have kept a dose eye on what's going on at quarter­ back and wide receiver at the 40 Acres, few have take a look at the running back position. Don't expect that trend to last long. Hodges Mitchell and Victor Ike stole the spotlight from everyone else Wednesday night at Royal-Memorial Stadium by rushing for a combined total of 156 yards and three touch­ downs during the team's first scrim­ mage in front of 300 fans. , Mitchell rushed for 79 yards, includ- ing a 68-yard burst to the endzone on just tire third play from scrimmage, while Ike crossed the goal line on two occasions to gain 77 yards. "I thought our running game looked great tonight," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. 'We had some long runs, but I was mostly pleased with some of the tough four-yard gains our backs had. It showed that those guys are going to be more physical than they were at the end of tíre last season. " Quarterbacks Chris Simms and Major Applewhite also looked strong in their first scrimmage. Simms completed five of nine passes for 64 yards and tossed a couple of touchdowns on the night. He hit freshman wide receiver Roy Williams on a four-yard toss up, and he also found Brandon Healy for a 22-yard scoring strike. Applewhite, in the meantime, con­ nected on seven of 12 throws for 97 yards in his first game-type action since injuring his knee in the Cotton Bowl. What a catch Wide receiver Roy Williams snagged a ball over comerback Ahmad Brooks in the end zone and Brandon Healy hauled in a 22-yard slant for a score, but none of them had the catch of the night in the team's first scrimmage. That honor, believe it or not, belonged to offensive tackle Cory Quye. On a botched field goal attempt, place kicker Kris Stockton scooped up a fumbled snap and after eluding defenders, he hit the first offensive play­ er he saw. That player just happened to be Quye, who ran up field before refer­ ees called the play dead since the pass went to an ineligible receiver. 'Tm not going to say much about that throw," Applewhite said. "Let's just say we'll let Kris stick to the kicking, and I'll stick to the throwing." The nominees are... After rushing for 1,343 yards and receiving 343 more through the air, Texas running back Hodges Mitchell has reason to boast about his talents. Now he’ll have a chance to get the hard­ ware to prove them. Earlier this week, Mitchell was tabbed a preseason Doak Walker Award candidate, an honor that is bestowed upon the nation’s top run­ ning back. He was one of 35 players to be named to the list. The winner of the award will announced Dec. 7. Injury report Tight end Bo Scaife, who .fore his anterior cruciate ligament on Aug. 18, will undergo surgery Friday to repair the damage and is out for the season.... Wrde receiver Artie Ellis returned to practice Wednesday, a day after he sat out of practices with a bruised shin. He made one reception for 20 yards in the ... Wideout Courtnee scrimmage. Garcia remained out of action with a bruised thigh. He is listed as day-to-day. — Compiled by Damien Pierce, Daily Texan staff Ike, Williams add spark to kickoff return team RETURN, from 9 of' — displaying the footwork and bursts of speed that have him landed him the No. 2 running back position behind Hodges Mitchell. Ike was the second-leading rusher for the Horns during his freshman cam­ paign (274 yards), but a strong start to begin the season was marred by a pulled hamstring sustained in mid-year. Brown said he opted to choose two returning players over freshmen with big-play ability — like wide receiver Roy Williams — simply because of the experience factor. "You'd rather not have a true fresh­ man out there, so you'd rather not have Roy [Williams] or Nathan Vasher out there immediately until they've had some time," Brown said. "But if you can get some guys who have been around for a while, that's better. We don't mind redshirt freshmen." And Brown certainly wouldn't mind finally getting a quick six points on a kickoff return this season. Tigers enter 2000 with questions on offense equipped for the running game that they were recruited for. Farmer threw for only 513 yards and year ago and tossed five picks to go along with nine touchdowns, while Dougherty fired more interceptions (seven) than touchdowns (four) in relief of Farmer. Together they led the Tigers to be shut out in three games, including a 21-0 loss to Kansas. Along with those worries at quar­ terback, the Tigers don't possess a MISSOURI, from 9 deep threat in their arsenal, though Travis Garvin could be a candidate with 4.39 speed in the 40-yard dash. "We do nave some players that can be very effective in the new offense," Hunley said. "They have looked good in practice and I think they will sur­ prise some people." Of course, a schedule that sends to both Clemson and Missouri Nebraska and pits them against Michigan State in Columbia doesn't exactly start the Tigers and their new offense on the right foot. Mizzou will have to hope that its defense can keep them in the game early on, even though that is susped with five new starters. Thus, foe fear is legit. \ "We can't worry about it, and some­ how we just have to prove everybody wrong," Smith said.

Every year thousands of ’ people pelt each other with tons of ripe tomatoes that are brought Into Bunol for the - town's annu­ al food fight !. Associated Press • f V * v * . ’ 5 - " T ■*£' < ’ / . . . ? * v -_ ? - - / V ; ■ ‘ A'SCJtW ' ' ' “ - v • - .P - J A a 4 K •í ' T v > - . f By Ths Associated Pesos BUNOL, Spain — Armored in goggles and fueled on wine and beer, some 30,000 revelers got pasted Wednesday in one erf Spain's most popular summer fes­ tivals — the annual tomato throwing festival. Partiers hurled and kicked truckloads erf tomatoes at opponents, lobbing the red fruit at each other and cover­ ing the village streets in tomato juice, seeds and slime in the fiesta known as La Tqmatina. The festival kicked off with a ham-on-a-stick contest where competitors raced up a greased pole to retrieve a smoked leg of ham. When the ham was cut down, revel­ ers donned eye protection and cried for tomatoes as five trucks dumped the squishy ripe produce onto the village streets. Some residents covered their homes and businesses with plastic sheets. Others dumped buckets of water onto me revelers. Within an hour, the streets, the partiers and nearby buildings were gooed. The tomato fight in Bunol, some 25 miles north of Valencia on Spain's east coast, has become one of the country's most popular summer festivals, often drawing crowds from abroad. Local lore says the fiesta, held the last Wednesday of every August started in the 1940s when a group of kids threw their lunches at each other one day in a downtown square. They met again the following year; this time pelt­ ing passers-by as well and creating the tradition. Thc Da ily Tkxan Thursday, A ugust 2 4 , 2 0 0 0 13 King of ceremonies to 2000 Olympics celebration in Sydney By Tho Associated Proas SYDNEY, Australia— The Olympics' closing ceremony is going to be a drag. Drag queens will be part erf the Sydney 2000 games' finale, regardless of what "right-wing reactionaries" think, ceremonies director Ric Birch said Wednesday. The men dressed up in outlandish dresses, wigs and makeup, will be "part of one tiny sec­ tion" of the closing ceremony, a tribute to Australian films including the 1994 cult hit The Adventures of PriscUla, Queen of the Desert, he said. Some of the participants would be dressed in original costumes, including a frill-necked lizard outfit from the film, which features two drag queens and a transsexual driving a pink bus through Australia's Outback. A report in Wednesday's Sydney Morning Herald newspaper sparked heated debate on radio shows. One caller said he would trade his dosing ceremony ticket after hearing die news. Birch directed the opening ceremony at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and was involved in the opener at Atlanta four years ago. He said he was annoyed that constant leaks were wrecking what should be a surprise for the public. "I'm really disappointed at die way the media is gleefully trying to expose the secrets that we call surprises," Birch told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio. Photographs erf die Olympic cauldron being lit in rehearsals, which are usually kept under wraps, have been printed. Speculation on who will ignite the cauldron has intensified. Birch said the inclusion of drag queens also reflected one of Sydney's most colorful events, die Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, a gay pride march and street carnival that attracts hundreds of thousands erf spectators each year. "That's part of Sydney life whether [critics] like it or not," Birch said. "For the right-wing reactionaries or whatever part of a community is outraged about it — wed, they're always going to be outraged." Olympics Minister Michael Knight said all die plans for die ceremonies had been approved by the organizing committee's board. "The dosing ceremony runs for several hours and has a very different feel to opening ceremo­ ny — it's a party," he said. "Tne athletes are going tobe on die field from the word go as part of fids giant party celebration. The whole feel will be one of great celebration and fun."

The trash poet of Baltimore — and the man responsible for some of the most repulsive scenes ever depicted on film — admits that his days as the ratings board's worst nightmare are over. At 54, Waters, who made a scan­ dalous splash with 1972's Pink Flamingos, has put most of his trashi­ ness behind him. His recent films include the kinder, gentler comedies Hairspray, Serial Mom and Pecker. “I just want to make people laugh," J he said in an interview before last •w eekend's opening of Cecil B. • DeMented, the story of a guerrilla ! filmmaker and his followers who are J willing to die — and kill — if that's | what it takes to finish shooting a v scene. Cecil assault opening. According to studio estimates, 1 Waters' madcap on i Hollywood fillmmaking scored an i impressive B. ■ DeMented took in $130,000 at nine • theaters for a $14,444 per-screen aver- i ase- > Waters said the film is a response to • an age when shock value is blase and not an attempt to relive his earlier career. "I'm making fun of myself in this movie by asking, 'W hat is an edge anymore? Do you have to die? Is that the only thing left, now that every­ one's hip, every critic is hip, and everything I used to do 20 years ago is on TV?'" Cecil B. DeMented (Stephen Dorff) is a cinematic terrorist who abducts star Honey spoiled Hollywood Whitlock (Melanie Griffith) during a film premiere in Baltimore, forcing her to star in his shoot-and-run film. Waters wrote the script several years ago. Even then, he wanted Dorff (City o f Industry, Blade), now 27, to star. "I thought he could play it without camping it up, without winking to the audience," Waters said. "If he was bringing some kind of shtick to it, it wouldn't have worked. But I think you really believe him. He looks like he really is that insane." Cecil and his Sprocket Holes crew terrorize the audience at Patch Adams: The Director's Cut and take over the set of the sequel to Forrest Gump star­ ring Kevin Nealon. "In the Waters' style, it comes off as very it iunny when you play straight," Dorff said. "I don't know how to do it any other way." Griffith, 43, whose films include 1988's Working Girl, was also his first choice. She is "very close to the hum or about what a 40-year-old woman has to do to reinvent herself, to be a movie star today," Waters said. "They don't make any movies that star a 40-year-old woman. They usu­ ally don't even make movies with women anymore. It's usually digital effects and Harrison Ford, or another male movie star." That's exactly the kind of movie Cecil B. DeMented skewers, and it's the kind of movie that's invading Baltimore, Waters' native city and the setting for all his films. Long accustomed to sharing the city only with Barry Levinson, Waters has seen a booming film industry spring up around him — thanks to the efforts of the Maryland Film Commission. Big-budget productions Runaway Bride and The Replacements, which also opened last weekend, are among the films that have been shot in Maryland in recent years. In Cecil B. DeMented, Waters sati­ rizes the film commission as a collec­ tion of raw-oyster-slurping fat cats who cravenly court and promote vapid films, but said it was all in fun. "I'm making a joke of it because Cecil would be against them," Waters said. Film "The Maryland Commission's job is not to decide the quality of films that come here, Cecil would think they should." Maryland Film Commission co­ director Mike Styer proved that he was in on the joke by presenting Waters with a painting of the Apex, the city's venerable pom theater, at in film 's world premiere the * Baltimore. He also expressed his grat­ itude to Waters for making Maryland an attractive film location. "People are coming to do movies here because of all the wonderful people who started with John and have worked with him over the years," Styer said. The premiere was as raucous as expected, with laughs at every famil­ iar face and inside joke. Waters has so many recurring cast members, stylis­ tic hallmarks and similar themes run­ ning through his movies that part of the fun is trying to spot everything. For instance, Waters puts a charac­ ter with an addiction in ever)' film. In (The this case, Adrian Grenier Adventures o f Sebastian Cole) plays an equal-opportunity drug addict who is always sniffing, snorting or smok­ ing something. In a hilarious, throw­ away moment, he offers crack to Griffith's character, and even this bit was taken from the director's life. "I smoked crack once, accidentally, last year," Waters said. "This sort of disreputable friend of mine was smoking a pipe and I thought it was pot. It was quite an experience. I thought, 'Oh, no, I'm going to get addicted, I'm going to spend the whole budget, I'm going to rob my parents! A crack addict at 54! How undignified!'" Former kidnap victim Patricia Hearst, who is a member of Waters' informal repertory company, has a small role in the new film. like "People really that Patty Hearst did this movie, especially. They're sort of stunned that she would be in a kidnap comedy," Waters said. For Hearst, the explanation is sim­ ple: "I love his scripts, I love his sense of humor, I just love his style." It's not too difficult to understand Waters reflects on his career, his persona and smoking crack after Cedi B. DeMented. why. However outrageous the subject matter, his recent films have been more inspired than the gross-out comedies currently dominating the box office. Still, Waters knows what it would take to top his previous forays into shock cinema. "1 guess it would be witty if — as my last movie — I just jumped in front of the camera and committed hara-kiri. That would shock people, and it would cement my reputation, wouldn't it? But I've always said the only thing 1 don't want to be ironic is mv death." 1HEENERGY FOR AN ALL-NIGHT RAVE WITHOUT THE EMBARRASSMG _ JAETME FORPO^H Gonna be a late one?

DeMented. ‘Cecil B.’ witty fun Waters cleverly damns Hollywood By Peter Debruge Daily Texan Staff The Sprocket Holes are a bit confused. About sex. About society. And most of all, about, the movies. In a world where Star Wars prequels and Star Trek sequels hog every available venue, directors dare to produce shot-for-shot remakes of Alfred Hitchcock classics and audiences still resist subtitles, one man refuses to be belittled by big-budget irrationality. That man, the Sprocket Holes' fearless leader and crusading "prophet against profit" Cecil B. DeMented (Stephen Dorff), is just about to lead his riled and randy band of cinema misfits in a demoniacal coup to take back the screen. Bursting into a charity banquet honoring Honey Whitlock's latest dol­ lop of Hollywood sap, a sentimental turd called Some Kind o f Happiness, Cecil B. and his substance-abusing, hormone-oozing groupies steal the starlet and haul her off to their studio-apartment. With Honey (played by a gloriously self-deprecating Melanie Griffith) on their team, they're ready to avenge such cinema monstrosities as a Patch Adams director's cut and Forrest Gump follow-up (starring Kevin Nealon), recording all of their terrorist tactics on film as "ultimate reality" moviemaking. And with John Waters' personal aesthetic bleeding through every seam, the ensu­ ing melee guarantees plenty of uncanny, ribald fun. Now, Cecil B. DeMented may not be a great movie, but I'd hardly accuse it of being a bad one either. As a matter of fact, I'd even go so far as to say that with a wee little casting switch (just like a film critic to suggest such a thing; after all, we are the enemy) — kick out doofy Dorff and sub in the frantically com­ bustible Jack Black for the lead — the film could have emerged the summer's forerunning comedy. It's already exuberantly more clever than anything the comic minds of Jim Carrey, Martin Lawrence or Eddie Murphy were able to come up with. Which means, if anything, that this little indie ball-buster might even be ripe for a sequel. Or a line of poseable action figures, at least.
