Dole sweeps Junior Tuesday’ Lugar, A lexander could leave contest Associated Press Bob Dole swept eight primaries Tuesday and seized an overw helm ing lead in the Republican presidential race as GOP voters blocked Pat Buchanan's conservative chal­ lenge and turned the p arty's attention to beating President Clinton in November. "W e 'll return conservative leadership to the White House," Sen. Dole, R.-Kan., told cheering supporters in Washington, acting as if the nomination fight was over. "A nd I will be very proud to carry that banner." So overw helm ing were D ole's victories that two lagging rivals — former Tennessee Gov. Lam ar A lexander and Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar — decided to quit the race on Wednesday, shrinking the field for the con­ tests ahead. Dole, flush with confidence that his third bid for the GOP nomination would be suc­ cessful, told The Associated Press, " I always felt in my heart it was going to happen, but you never know until the people vote." He told the victory rally that the mission for Republicans now was to defeat Clinton. Dole won primaries in Georgia, Vermont, C o n n e cticu t, M ary lan d , M ain e, M a ss­ achusetts, Colorado and Rhode Island — a "Ju n io r T u esd ay " prim ary sw eep.

Dole entered the night with 91 delegates and was winning at least 179 of the 208 at stake in primary states. That gave him at least 270, more than a quarter of the way toward the 996 needed to clinch nom ina­ tion. Publisher Steve Forbes was a distant second, with 63 delegates. Dole predicted his lead would bulge even more after New York's primary Thursday and th en a g a in in n ex t w e e k 's " S u p e r Tuesday" contests in Texas, Florida and five other states.

Lugar planned a n oon a n n o u n c e m e n t in W a sh in g to n ; Alexander was heading home to Tennessee to make his announcement there. Buchanan said he was in all the way to the Republican convention, but acknow l­ edged, "It's an uphill battle everywhere." His core support splintered in Tuesday's voting, and it appeared he w ould fail to match even his 1992 showing in Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts and Georgia.

Attorneys have begun depositions in a lawsuit filed by a former UT student who claims he jumped into Littlefield Fountain as part of a track team initiation. The in ju ries that occurred A ugust 22, 1993, left D u stin D unfield crip p led , his attorney Bill Whitehurst said. The law su it nam es four form er track team members, three fraternities and the University in the lawsuit which is sched­ uled to go to trial Nov. 4. The d ep ositions, expected to last tw o more months, back up that "there definite­ ly w as an in itiation for the track team ," Whitehurst said. Transcripts of the depositions were not immediately available. The law suit, filed Feb. 16, alleges that Dunfield was told that as part of his initia­ tion into the track team, he would have to dive off a cliff into a lake. Whitehurst said the four track members took Dunfield to several fraternity parties where alcohol was readily available. Dunfield, who was 18 at the time, had eight to 10 beers at the parties, he said. "I was amazed by the amount of alcohol available," at the parties, Whitehurst said. He ad d ed th at they w ere w a lk in g through cam pus after the p arties w hen D unfield was told he would not have to jump off a cliff if he dived into Littlefield West Mall, is about one foot deep. Dunfield broke his neck in the incident and was initially expected to be paralyzed, bu t h as re g ain ed m o b ility in all of his lim bs, W h iteh u rst said. He ad ded that Dunfield did not lose any mental functions. The lawsuit alleges that the University is liable for D u n fie ld 's in ju ries b ecau se it knew that the athletic department was par­ ticipating in dangerous initiations. UT attorneys handling the case were not available for comment Tuesday, but have denied responsibility and asserted a strong anti-hazing policy. The lawsuit also names four former and current track team members — Shane Pratt, Derek Zelaney, Clint Hosey and Kyle Lane. Tom Tourtellottee, attorney for Zelaney, said his client denies that there was an ini­ tiation. "Our position is that my client didn't do anything. We did n't haze. W e d id n't get him drunk and force him into the foun­ tain ," T o u rtello ttee said. He added that Z e lan e y , w ho g ave his d e p o sitio n last week, barely knew D unfield and hardly saw him at the parties.

Israeli arm y blockades W est Bank I Associated Press RAM ALLAH, West Bank — Trying to stifle the terror, Israel's army blockaded more than a million Palestinians in their West Bank commu­ n itie s on T u esd ay and sealed the h o u ses of Islam ic m ilitants suspected in four bom bings that have paralyzed peacemaking. Stepping up their offensive against the mili­ tants, soldiers raided a West Bank village, herd­ ing all the men into the main square for ques­ tioning. Prime Minister Shimon Peres vowed to imprison relatives of the suicide bombers with­ out trial. Troops also raided and ordered shut several academic and charity groups in the Hebron and Jerusalem areas which Israel considered connect­ ed to the militant groups, Israeli and Palestinian sources said. In an about-face, the military wing of Hamas said it would heed a call from the group's politi­ cal leaders to halt the bombing attacks until July. The wing, Izzedine al Qassam, claimed responsi­ bility for four bombings in nine days that killed four bombers and 57 other people. Angry Israelis buried the 13 victims of the lat­ est attack, killed Monday when an Islamic mili­ tant blew him self up outside Tel Aviv's main shopping mall. Half of the dead were children. T he b o m b in g s h ave fo rced Isra e l's b elea­ guered governm ent, its p o pu larity plunging ahead of elections May 29, to abandon its defen­ sive policy toward such attacks.

R oss Cravens Colombian drug lord shot, killed by police Associated Press B O G O T A , Colombia — Police shot to death a fugitive leader of tíre Cali drug cartel on Tuesday, less than a week after the United States punished Colombia for lackluster anti-drug efforts. Jose Santacruz Londono, the third- ranking member of the drug syndi­ cate that supplies most of the world's cocaine, was shot on a road in the northwest city of Medellin, another major drug center, police said. The billionaire trafficker, who escaped from prison two months ago, resisted arrest when police encoun­ tered him in a car, the RCN radio net­ work reported. "I'm very happy," said an elated' Gen. Jose Serrano, the national police chief who directed an intense search for the drug trafficker. "This is a sign we're not letting our guard down." Last week, President Clinton decid­ ed to cut off some US. aid to punish Colombia for not doing enough in its drug war. Allegations that President Ernesto Samper won office with drug money affected the decision, but U.S. officials had said Santacruz's escape also would have a negative impact on the certification process. Slurs Continued from page 1 Santacruz, 53, shamed Colombian law enforcement authorities on Jan. 11 by escaping Bogota's La Picota prison after about six months in jail. He drove out of the maximum-security prison's main gate in a car that resem­ bled one driven by prosecutors, pre­ sumably with the help of accomplices on the inside. Santacruz had been hiding out in Medellin because he thought police would be combing Cali, the cartel homebase where he owns hundreds of apartments and other properties, Serrano said. "He never thought we would look for him there," Serrano said. Medellin was the headquarters for drug lord Pablo Escobar, whose rival cartel fought a terrorist war against the Cali gang and the state for years. Security forces killed Escobar in a Medellin safehouse in December 1993. Santacruz had been linked to drug trafficking since the 1970s and had been indicted in several US. cities. He was believed responsible for the 1992 killing of journalist Manuel de Dios Unanue, who was investigating cartel operations in New York, as well as the murder of a Colombian state governor. UT officials said they are work­ dent orientation. ing to improve the situation. "W hat is written is not accept­ able on this campus, and to deface someone's property" violates UT conduct codes, said Brenda Burt, assistant to the dean for Student Equity and Diversity. Burt said she will meet later this week with four other students on the same floor who may have been involved in the incident. "I'm gath­ ering information and mediating between the students," she said, adding she is con d uctin g the U niversity's investigation of the matter and will turn her findings in to the O ffice of the Dean of Students. Burt said ad m inistrators will make extra efforts to improve eth­ nic relations in the dormitory. Burt said she will host a discus­ sion on diversity for residents at Jester Thursday night at 7 p.m. dif­ fering from the seminar students are required to attend during stu­ "I think one of the differences is going to be that these students already have formed a communi­ ty," she said. The discussion "is going to be tailored to fit the needs of this particular community." Floyd H oelting, d irecto r of Housing and Food Services, said, "We're trying to get the communi­ ty together and talk about it from a community standpoint. We want to make a learning situation out of this if at all possible." Hoelting added such conflicts, though inappropriate, are not sur­ prising given the stresses of dorm life. "Whenever you have 6,000 peo­ ple living together, there's always a certain amount of stretching and learning taking place," Hoelting said. "The occasion for misunder­ standing and cultural clash" is con­ stant, he added. Israel: Peres will leave troops in Hebron for now Canning.

Peres also announced that Israel will not withdraw its troops from the West Bank town of Hebron until the PLO amends its covenant to revoke calls for Israel's destruction. The pullout was to have occurred this month. The focus of Israel's crackdown appeared to be in Hebron, which is the last West Bank town yet to be transferred to Palestinian control. Nabil Jabari, head of H ebron's Islam ic U niversity, said troops searched the campus and handed him an order declaring the universi­ ty of 1,500 students shut down indefinitely.

Also ordered shut were Hebron's Islamic Society for Orphans and Islam ic C haritable Society, w hich run boarding schools, kindergartens and clinics.

China is just 1.4 miles across the water from the island of Quemoy, Taiw an's front line in the war of nerves being waged by Beijing. Tensions shot up again Tuesday with Chi­ n a's announcem ent that it plans to test-fire another batch of missiles Friday off Taiwan — the third since June. On a visit to the island last week, most peo­ ple seen on Fuhsing Road were soldiers, who make up half the island's 100,000 residents. T h e y w ere h a n g in g o u t in the g am in g arcades, shopping for CDs and crooning in the karaoke bars, and they seemed as relaxed as the tourists who would ordinarily be swarm­ ing around on these balmy spring days. But only 500 tourists a day come to Quemoy now, compared with 2,000 in more peaceful times, said travel agent Hu Hui-huang. At night, security tightens visibly, with sol­ diers guarding checkpoints and the entrances to the tunnels dug into the granite.

The issue of Q uem oy even m ade its way into the 1960 American presidential race: The candidates, Vice President Richard Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy, clashed on whether U.S. military help was needed to defend the island from the Communists. China and Taiwan continued to sporadical­ ly fire am m unition and shells packed with propaganda leaflets until 1979. Since the late 1980s, however, trade has replaced saber-rat­ tling between YThina and Taiwan — until last June. Then Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui vis­ ited the United States. China interpreted tha| as a move to make Taiwan independent, and the missile tests began. In recent w eeks, a flood of reports about C hinese plans for large-scale war gam es in Fujian Province — right across from Quemoy — have kept nerves on edge.

VIEWPOINT Hamas Until you see the pictures, the words "bombing in Israel" are just an abstraction. We humans (and perhaps especially we Ameri­ cans) find it so easy to separate ourselves. A murder in our neighborhood is a tragedy; scores dead around the world is just anoth­ er statistic. Until you see the pictures. No one can look at the charred body of an Israeli being loaded into an ambulance without realizing the horror of what the Hamas terrorists are doing. What makes it even more repulsive is that this slaughter of civilians could undermine a peace process that would benefit Palestinians most of all. Palestinian states are receiving self-rule, and now Palestinian police patrol streets once ruled by Israeli soldiers. Diplomacy' is work­ ing. Why continue the killing? For their own sake, all Palestinians have an obligation to help Yass­ er Arafat's government and the Israelis prevent terrorist attacks and stop Hamas. This violence weakens the Peres government and threat­ ens Arafat's shaky rule. If hardliners on either side come into power, the bloodshed could continue. But the obligation to work toward peace does not rest solely with Arafat and the Palestinians. After the bombings, some Israelis shouted "Death to Arabs." One man called for a "final solution" to the Arab problem Rage is understandable, but such racism is inexcusable. Of all peo­ ple, the Israelis should know better If thev cannot distinguish between the Hamas extremists and the majority of Arabs who desire peace, the Israelis risk being consumed by the same irrational racial prejudices that have injured them for centuries. After years of bloodshed, a strong possibility for peace in the Mid­ dle East is appearing. Let's hope that the people of good will, both Israeli and Arab, can work together to turn that possibility into a real- ity. — Robert Rogers Going ape It seems the Tennessee Legislature is going a bit ape. One legislator was told by a constituent that some Tennessee public schools were teaching evolution as a "fact." Oh, my. Whatever can the Tennessee lege do to stop this? The answer, apparently, is to fire any teacher who does so. If the law pass­ es, Tennessee teachers like John Scopes may once again be in danger. In the strict scientific sense, of course, evolution — like Newton's theory' of universal gravitation — is a theory and not a fact. But to the lay mind, a is something suspect, something that perhaps theory lacks adequate evidence or support. Nothing could be farther from the truth in the case of evolution. The scientific battle over evolution was fought in the 19th century, and the creationists lost. Now, evolutionary theory is the cornerstone of mod­ em biology. To deny the validity of evolution is akin to a doctor accepting the medieval notion that illness is caused by different body humors being out of whack. It is like a chemist rejecting atomic theory or an English major denying the existence of John Milton. What the Tennessee Legislature is trying to do is to exploit public ignorance about the overwhelming scientific support for evolution to please the religious right, some members of which still believe the earth is 6,000 years old. These political games, however, come at the expense of Tennessee schoolchildren. If they don't receive adequate information about evo­ lutionary theory, Tennessee students will be ill prepared for college- level work at any reputable university. Fortunately, the First Amendment does not permit the Tennessee Legislature to enact such nonsense. The state attorney general's office has already stated that such a measure would not pass constitutional muster. And should the Legislature choose to ignore the Constitution, attorneys will come forward to challenge the law in court and protect the First Amendment and the education of Tennessee students. Clarence Darrow would be proud of them. — Robert Rogers SORB.

Although some might interpret this as a language gap, these Marc Levin TEXAN COLUMNIST degree of political independence. women knew exactly what they were talking about. For years, politicians have successfully bamboozled Americans into thinking the Social Security system is secure. In fact, it is projected to go belly up by 2030, leaving our generation out in the cold after hav­ ing paid millions in payroll taxes. Demographics largely account for the impend­ ing bankruptcy. There will be an excess of Baby Boomers retiring just as the pool of young work­ ers is shrinking. Whereas there were once 20 workers chipping in for every senior receiving a check, the ratio is now 7 to 1 and getting worse. Since we cannot change demographics, we must think of some solutions. Increasing the pay­ roll tax would drag down the economy and be unfair to American workers whose wages have remained flat for the past 20 years. We can take the politically courageous step of raising the retirement age to keep up the greater length and quality of life made possible by mod­ em medicine. While we still have time, the age can be increased gradually. It is vital to remember that those who are unable to work can and should receive disability benefits. Means-testing and raising the retirement age alone may not be enough to solve this enormous fiscal crisis. Clinton's panel recommended the federal government diversify its portfolio of Social Security funds. Rather than putting all the money in low-retum bonds, they support invest­ ing money in stocks and mutual funds. The drawback of this approach is not the risk involved; there is so much money that a few duds would not be devastating. Instead, it is that hav­ ing Uncle Sam invest such enormous sums in cer­ tain stocks would make the financial viability of many companies hinge on the investment deci­ sions of government brokers. One can easily envi­ to sion corporations encourage a purchase of their stock or at least avert a selling of it. Also, there would be a conflict of interest since the same government influences the value of many stocks when it imposes taxes, implements regulations and enters into contracts. Nevertheless, this is an attractive idea that might work if its administration could achieve a lobbying W ashington The most radical approach is to privatize part or all of Social Security. Steve Forbes proposes allowing individuals choose how to invest at least 40 percent of the money they pay in payroll taxes. While this avoids the political entanglements of having the government invest in stocks, it raises the problem of risk since each individual would be working with a far smaller sum. If people made lousy investments, would society be con­ tent to let them rot away in a dark alley? Also, the transition would be turbulent because most of the money paid in now immediately goes out to ben­ eficiaries rather than being invested. Of course, Bob Dole did not bother criticizing Forbes' plan on the merits, but ran an insidious negative commercial in New Hampshire claiming "Forbes wanted to end Social Security." It is clear there are no easy solutions to this problem. However, we can start by demanding that our politicians face it honestly rather than playing a pusillanimous game of political hot potato. While they get reelected, the daughters of the old ladies in the Joy Luck Club and the rest of us in Generation X will get burned. Levin is a sophom ore in Plan II. Cuba within rights to defend airspace Last week when two planes Marisol Espinosa TEXAN COLUMNIST the exile community claims defend. to from Brothers to the Rescue were shot down, Clinton along with every Republican candidate running for president rushed to the nearest camera to get that soundbite that everyone in the Cuban exile community wants to hear. "Murder­ ers!" "Killers!" and "Terrorists!" Just when there seemed to be slight progress in relations with Cuba, four over-zealous Cuban- Americans decide that flying near or over Cuban waters is a good idea. The one remaining pilot and his community are now throwing a tantrum and asking for retribution without acknowledging the fore­ warning given by the United States. Unfortunately, the United States has given in. Clinton announced tighter sanctions against Cuba and his sup­ port for GOP legislation designed to toughen the economic embargo.—a policy once harshly criticized by the administration Had this incident occurred any other year, Clinton and most politicians would not have reacted so hastily. It is unfortunate that these Cuban- Americans were killed. What is probably even more lamentable is that most politicians see the folly of the bill, yet are not brave enough to say so. But it is no surprise that all those votes in Florida would influ­ ence a dramatic change in foreign policy The shooting down of the Broth­ ers to the Rescue planes could have been prevented. In recent months the pilots became increasingly bold, buzzing the island and dropping anti-Castro over Havana. Castro warned that he would act if these countless viola­ propaganda tions of Cuban air space continued. Clinton cautioned Cuban-Ameri- cans about these acts of provocation. That still didn't deter the exiles. It would be a gross lie to think the United States would have tolerated such airspace violations. Castro has a right to defend Cuba's sovereign­ ty. It would be insulting to say that Castro acted without reason. After the Bay of Pigs and other CIA operations, Radio Marti, and numerous coups and assassinations attempts, any national leader would have reacted with similar force. The W hite House should not adopt the provisions of the Helms- Burton bill (which also allows Cuban-Am ericans to sue foreign companies that use private property regime) seized by Cuban-Am ericans and politicians who advocate the implementation of this legislation are only hurting ordinary Cubans — the very people the Castro The tightening of the embargo will not remove Castro from power — the supposed intention of the leg­ islation. If the United States wants to punish Cuba, it should not try to starve a nation. in Miami, The extremist reaction, particular­ ly is an outdated approach that has still not fulfilled its mission — removing Castro from power. tightening The effects of the embargo only reinforces Cubans' desire to defend their sovereignty. Or in the words of the Cuban gov­ ernment spokesman Frank Gonza­ lez, "I wouldn't say this is the end of the story. It won't be until the U.S. government lifts the embargo and recognizes the right of Cuban peo­ ple to choose their own destiny." E spinosa is a se n io r in journalism . Murders weren’t similar I am disgusted and shocked that, in this time of deep mourning for Israelis and Jews around the world, Jawad Hanna Salah ("Israel exacerbating crisis," Firing Line, March 5) and others can make claims that are not only absurd but also insensitive. Hamas is a fragmented group, and apparently its latest cease-fire offer didn't seem like a good idea to all its members. Israel was not even given a chance to prop­ erly consider the implications of such an agreement before the next suicide bomber struck. A final point: Israel's murder of the "Engineer" cannot be compared to Hamas suicide bombings (I assume you're refer­ ring to him when you mention "blowing people's heads off with booby-trapped cel­ lular phones"). This despicable "Engineer" was a man who spent his life designing mass killing devices, bombs meant to kill as many peo­ ple as possible. Keep in mind that killing him with a "booby-trapped cellular phone" was carefully planned to avoid killing any­ one but him. H ow can you, an American who knows what human rights and liberty are, imply defense of a barbarian like this man and com pare his murder to that of hundreds of innocent Israelis and tourists? Karen G rum berg H isto ry a nd English sen io r Bombing indefensible It baffles us that someone could attempt to defend Ham as' activities over the past 10 days. Jawad Hanna Salah shows a remark­ able lack of understanding of the Israeli people as well as the Palestinians. First, he claim s that Israel's recent assas­ sination of Yikayah Ay ash was a foolish unprovoked attack, justifying the recent five terrorist attacks that killed more than 60 innocent civilians and injured more than 100. Then he neglects to add that Ayash is directly attributed to the murders of nearly 70 other Israelis and Americans over the past two years. Second, Salah claims Hamas had offered a cease fire if the Israeli security services would stop its attacks, referring to a state­ ment released last Sunday. The following day, innocent Israeli children, dressed up in costumes celebrating Purim, paid with their lives to find out just how far Hamas could be trusted. Finally, Salah makes the unsubstantiated assertion that Israel wants Arafat to fail, wasting two and one-half years of peace talks, an obvious error in Sallah's judg­ ment. Itai D. Tsur S ociology senior S arit Shapira H istory ju n io r Outside funds for PIRG like 1 would to applaud TexPIRG spokesman Paul Bonner for suggesting a means of alternate funding for the organi­ zation if it is to ever come about. Many people opposed TexPIRG because it sought to use student fees to impose a University-wide agenda. No other political organization on campus is able to use stu­ dent money to achieve its ends, as well as be allowed to affiliate itself with the Uni­ versity name. There is no question that TexPIRG would make a fine organization, but only if they work hard enough to receive outside fund­ ing, as all other campus political groups must do. If we can't get a free lunch, why should they? FIRING LINE The TexPIRG people are upset because they lost out on a huge cash windfall and potential jobs in Washington D.C. which would have been paid for by student money. The pernicious idea that only a select few know how to best use the money of students was rightly defeated in the stu­ dent referendum. Steven Patino G overnm ent ju n io r Thanks for no TexPIRG This is a thank-you letter from the mem­ bers of the Students for Affordable Educa­ tion. We want to give our sincerest thanks to the people who came out to vote no to TexPIRG. With your vote, we have defeat­ ed an attempt to raise our student fees. We also want to congratulate STRIVE, who not only endorsed our cause, but who also actively helped us fight TexPIRG's manda­ tory student funding. We also want to thank the College Republicans and YCT who contributed to our effort. Though our organization began less than a month ago, with your vote, and your invaluable help, we have defeated a movement three years in the making. We have proven that a self-funded organiza­ tion can make a difference on campus and in the legislature. And just as the TexPIRG people vowed not to go away, we at the Students for Affordable Education will continue our effort to keep our education affordable. Jai M ai Vice-Chairm an o f Publicity Students for Affordable Education Attack on Sharlot unfair This is in regard to Todd J. Minehardt's March 4 letter to the editor ("Freeport good law yers"). M inehardt begins his for remarks with an uncalled-for and rather distasteful attack on the personal integrity of Dean Sharlot. Minehardt apparently has no reply to Dean Sharlot's call for credible evidence that Freeport has participated intentionally in alleged human rights abus­ es in Indonesia, other than to engage in childish name-calling. Perhaps Minehardt could provide us all with some details of Dean Sharlot's alleged moral deficiencies (or better yet, provide them to Dean Sharlot in person). But I'll bet he's more likely to respond to this call for evidence by attacking me. Sharlot stated in his essay, "I am writing as a faculty member and not for the School of Law." Yet Minehardt's rambling reply attacks not only Dean Sharlot but the law school and lawyers in general as well. He speaks of "loopholes," "backdoors," and "antiquated legal codes," (e.g., ?) and decries the state of American justice, all without providing any details. Maybe Minehardt is right — lawyers have their faults — but, hey, it's not like they invented nuclear weapons or chemical warfare or anything. Perhaps the legal profession should turn to a more enlightened field of study, such as science, which, in all its unbiased glory, has brought us the wonderful "real truths" I just mentioned. Minehardt's argument that the Moffetts are not worthy of being honored by the University is disjointed and makes no sense (mining bad, Indonesian government abusive, Jim Bob Moffett local developer with big mouth). Furthermore, I do not believe Mine­ hardt's attack on Dean Sharlot's integrity is persuasive. Unfortunately, civility and rea­ son in this debate seem to have been lost somewhere along the way. Count me in as another student previ­ ously uncommitted to either side who has grown tired of the disrespect and petulance displayed by opponents of the Moffett building. I hope I can make it to its dedica­ tion to witness the great event as it unfolds. M atthew M. Edwards F irst-year law student U niversity o f Barbara Jordan Follow law to stay free I find it incredible that the letter Jill Sloto wrote about a minor being thrown in jail for being in possession of alcohol on Sixth Street ("Austin police unfair," Firing Line, March 4) was printed. In essence, she con­ doned slapping people on the wrist for doing something wrong. It scares me that this attitude is so pervasive in our culture that we think we have the right to disre­ gard laws simply because we do not agree with them. If you really do not like the law then do something active in trying to change the policy. I would bet that her friend will think twice before publicly drinking alcohol again. Finally there is one easy solution — if you don't want to go to jail, don't break the law. Catherine A.

H T he Daily T exa n Wednesday, March 6 , 1 9 9 6 Page 5 Recent bombings will slow down Middle East peace A ngry Israelis shouted "Death to the A rabs" and Prime M inister TEXAN C O L U M N I S T E l a d S h a r o n jeered Shimon Peres as he surveyed the carnage from M onday's suicide bombing. Tel Aviv police said there were at least 14 people confirm ed dead, including the bomber, and more than 100 injured. The question on the m inds of many Israelis is : "Is this the price of peace?" The question of those more detached from the horror is: "Is this the death of peace?" The answer to the first question is difficult. The answer to the second one is probably no. Israeli To be sure, the Israelis are a volatile public. After Rabin's death, support for the peace process sky­ rocketed. The left was assured a victory at the elections, and, to take away from feelings that Peres was exploiting this feeling, the new prime minister promised not to call elections earlier their scheduled date in October. than When the peace talks with Syria proved fruitless, however, Peres felt he had to call for an early election. D espite the fact that Peres was billing the election as a referendum on peace with the Syrians, much of the Israeli public remained viciously opposed to giving the strategic Golan Heights to Syria in exchange for peace. Peres was still expected to win. The date was set for May 29. Then the bombs hit. W hen Israelis w ere grappling with the question why, they had no trouble assigning blame. Peres was at fault. In a recent opinion poll, when asked who they would vote for in said N etanyahu, M ay, leader of the opposition Likud bloc, with 51 percent to Peres' 45 percent. Israelis In light of the recent bombings, Netanyahu is now virtually assured a victory. Leah Rabin, the slain prime minister's eloquent widow, could still change that if she cam­ paigns vigorously on Peres's behalf — but that would take quite a lot of vigor. Only a year ago, that would have meant that the peace deal was dead. Today, however, Netanyahu is looking more like a cautious moder­ ate than the right-wing extremist. He has recently promised to uphold all of the agreements Israel has made with the Palestinians. That is to say that Palestinian autonomy would remain under a Netanyahu Peres was still expected to win. The election was set for May 29. Then, the bombs hit. When the Israelis were grappling with the question why, they hacj no trouble assigning blame. government. That is a major policy shift for the Israeli right. For years, the Likud party has been associated with the concept of a "Greater Israel." To abandon "Greater Israel" took time, but Netanyahu was willing to do it to move his party a bit to the center. rhetoric, however, implied that he would never meet with Yasser Arafat and that he would never allow the creation of a Palestinian state out of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. This, though, may not matter. His past To gamer support for a break­ away faction of the Likud known as Gesher, Netanyahu presumably had to make some concessions. Gesher's leader, the popular David Levy, supported the peace process with the Palestinians but opposed deal­ ings with Syria's President Assad. The Syrian negotiations will proba­ bly go on regardless. A chance to bring worldwide acclaim for Israel, which has occasionally felt isolated, would never be abandoned. Peace with the Palestinians, how­ ever, will be a bit trickier. While meeting with Arafat is by no means necessary, it was always an im portant symbol for Peres, Rabin and Arafat. To abandon it would rally Pales­ tinians against some parts of the pact. The goal of a Palestinian state might be a bit less important as well. The Palestinians are developing a de facto state now. Recognition would be a minor symbolic gesture by the time it's called for, and most Israelis will probably recognize that. If that much is true, the peace process will not be derailed with Peres' defeat. But it will go much ' more slowly than Rabin intended. Sharon is a freshman in Plan ll/biochemistry.

FIRING LINE Feld book was good Geoff Henley is entitled to his opinion about scholarship ("Som e U T research abysm al," March 5). faculty But in the case of Music Grooves, my recent book with Charles Keil that Henley so arrogantly misrepre­ sents, the serious scholarly world holds a markedly different opinion. The book was recently awarded the > 1995 Chicago Folklore Prize, the most prestigious prize in its acade­ mic field. More generally, if my scholarship is so "silly ", Henley should ask Chancellor W illiam Cunningham why he so forcefully praised it when I received a MacArthur Fellowship and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. As for the Freeport mine and the com­ pany's presence on campus, I take it that Henley disagrees with my research and opinions. But notice that he now here engages any of my arguments in a serious intellectual manner. Instead, by insult and red herring, he has merely attacked an unrelated area of my scholarship in a com­ pletely incompetent fashion. Is this the form of intellectual logic that students acquire by year two at the UT Law School? In most undergraduate classrooms I know, students are routinely failed for such sloppiness and inaccuracy. Steven Feld Professor o f anthropology University of California, Santa Cruz Henley way off target I am one of the stupid, self-indul­ gent, student-hating UT faculty members that UT law student Geoff H enley exposes in his column "Som e faculty research abysmal," (Mar. 5). Henley, whom I don't believe I have ever met, quotes one sentence of a scholarly review I wrote for the Journal o f English and German Philology. He calls this sentence "tortured" (actually, it is only long) but his main concern is not my prose style. His "argum ent" is this: 1) The fact that I wrote this four page review proves that I am too busy and self- serving "to hold office hours and grade 'trite' papers by undergrads whom [I] resent as products of wealthy Dallas suburbs."; and 2) The fact that my sentence contains term s that som e undergraduates might not understand proves that I have "contem pt" for students. It is appropriate to my job as an English teacher to help readers rec­ ognize how demagoguery can mas­ querade as logic. Henley's column is a case in point. For starters, the only person whom it convicts of "contem pt" for UT students is Henley himself. It is Henley who scornfully characterizes undergraduates and their work. It is Henley who insults his read­ ers' intelligence when he gives them a single sentence of mine (written for a different audience and explained by a context that Henley suppresses) and tells them that the difficulty of this sentence proves my disdain for them. I have never treat­ ed any of my students or any of their ideas or social backgrounds with the contem pt that Henley shows for them in his article. And, for the record, my students over the past 18 years have tended to confirm this in their comments on the enthusiasm I bring to teaching, and the time, effort and respect I give them. So, if Henley's insinuations are illogical and counter-factual, why does he make them? Why did he bother, in the first place, to search through "arcane journals" until he found a piece of "crap" that I had written? The answer lies in the political company that Henley understands me to keep. Though he does not directly say so, the three faculty members that he ridicules — anthropologist Steven Feld, philosopher Doug Kell­ ner, and myself — are individuals whom Henley associates with the "left-w ing" social values that he has assailed before in his long career at The Texan. Now if Henley had acknow l­ edged that his real target was not our "abysm al" research but our pol­ itics, he would have had to do sev­ eral responsible things. He would have had to show that we had a common political view . (Ironically, the review of mine from which he quoted was one that highly praised a conservative book). He would have had to define that view substantively against it. Most inconveniently, he would have had to be frank about his own motivation. intellectually argue and How much easier to simply smear us all as jargon-drunk careerists and irresponsible teachers. Evan Carton Professor o f English Column was ignorant I would like to respond to Geoff Henley in language even he can understand. Geoff, please stop writ­ ing your ignorant, clownish editori­ als. You are exposing yourself to a large audience of fairly intelligent people who shake their heads in dismay and laugh at you. What made you such a bitter, parochial person? sorry: "parochial" means "restricted to a narrow scope; provincial.") (Oh, Why won't you stop humiliating yourself? With many thanks from your prospective victims, Lance Berteisen Associate professor o f English Henley mean-spirited I have to say I was horrified to read G eoff H enley's personal attacks on two UT faculty members in the March 5 edition of The Texan. I think studied, respectful criticism of others' work is essential for the academic research enterprise, but Henley obviously has something else in mind. If he really holds so much hatred for the UT faculty, perhaps he should talk to a counselor rather than vent his anger in newsprint. Also, for The Texan to print such superficial, sarcastic, and mean- spirited ridicule of UT community members is outrageous. I would have hoped that the edi­ tors had better judgment!

"I got a thing to ta k e out a life insurance policy for UT students shortly after his death said Brenda Wilson, Justin Wilson’s mother. Wilson said she has received about a letter a month concerning activities in the C ollege o f C o m m u n icatio n addressed to Justin Wilson or his par­ ents since his death in October. "It w as unreal she said . "Y ou think you're getting better, then you get another letter in the mail." Tom Wilson, Justin’s father wrote a letter to the Office of the Dean of Communication Feb. 28 requesting the removal of Justin's name from the mailing lists. "Y o u r dean w as p re se n t at his funeral," Wilson stated in the letter. "You have my permission to discon­ tin u e' his re g istra tio n w ith y ou r office. You cannot imagine the men­ tal pain caused by letters such as yours." UT officials said the mistake was "horrible," but not unexpected given the vastness of the University' s data­ bases. "The University of Texas is a big place and they'll do what they can," said Robert Kaminski, a lawyer from the G riggs and H arrison law firm who is representing the University in the Wilson's case against the Univer­ sity. "I im agine that they certainly did not intend for this to happen and will take steps to ensure it doesn't happen again," adding that "the Uni­ v ersity c a n 't fix w hat th ey d o n 't know about." UT a d m in istra to rs said co lle g e databases can contain faulty informa­ tion if they are taken from the regis­ tra r's o ffice and not u p d ated fre­ quently. "Our policy is that when we have a deceased student we change the per­ manent address to the O ffice of the Registrar so that the parents don’t get m ailings said David Stones d ata­ base coordinator in the D ivision of S tu d e n t A ffa irs. "T h e re are som e cases when an academic unit would choose to download information into a database not connected with the re g istra r s o ffice, he said, ad d in g once an academ ic unit dow nloads data then we lose track of it.” Ston es said integrated com puter system s in colleges could help pre­ vent such occurrences. Some colleges said they use infor­ m ation from the re g istra r's o ffice rather than their own files to send out mailings. "1 run computer programs off the stu d e n ts' reco rd s d atab ase m ain ­ tained o ff of the registrar's office," said R ick M o selv, co m p u ter p ro ­ grammer for student affairs office in the College of Engineering. But some administrators said there are safeguard s against m istakes in the system. "It has to do with what they use to d o w n lo a d stu d en t in fo rm a tio n ," M osely said. "T h e re are field s on databases that are flags to indicate" if a student is deceased or no longer enrolled, he said. Such flags cause the program to automatically reject those students from mailing lists. Timothy Ruefli, a management sci­ ence and information systems profes­ sor, said the databases in the admin­ istration, aside from being updated when a student changes addresses or is no longer enrolled, are probably completely updated annually. "T h a t 's for the U n iv e rsity as a whole. Heaven knows what goes on at a college level," he said. As of M onday, staff m em bers in the College of Communication were unaware of the problem or W ilson's letter, but said they are w orking to rem ove Justin W ilson's nam e from UT mailing lists. Kaminski said he was not notified of the situation until he received a let­ ter from the W ilsons' law yer M on­ day. "Certainly steps are under way to prevent that." Kaminski said.

The seminar is organized by the University's Internation­ al Awareness Committee, Amnesty International and other organizations. Doug Lewin, founder of the Coalition of Activist Minded P eop le U nited in S tru g gle, h elp ed p lan the Forum on Human Rights, which he said he nopes will get University students involved in supporting human rights around the world. "The purpose is to educate and encourage local action," Lewin said. The forum, the first in a series leading up to the Universi­ ty's International W eek in April, will include 20-m inute presentations by the faculty members involved in promot­ ing human rights. Economics professor Harry Cleaver will focus his speech on the Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas, which began in Janu­ ary of 1994 as a result of alleged human rights violations by the Mexican government. Government professor Julius Ihonvbere will discuss the "oppressive structures of the Nigerian government [and its] coalition w ith Shell [Oil Company] to accom m odate the irresponsible environm ental policies" that displaced the Ogoni people. M iddle Eastern studies professor Abu El- Fadl will talk about hum an rights situations in M uslim communities, emphasizing the conditions in Serbia.

BONNIE J. WALDMAN /Daily Texan Staff Conference criticizes the religious right KELLY HOPE Daily Texan Staff Despite pressures from conservative Christian g ro u p s to ca n c e l h er p re s e n ta tio n , C e c ile Richards, executive director of the Texas Free­ dom Network, spoke at a state conference on social work Tuesday about the dangers of reli­ gious extremism on the public school system. "Policy is being set by those who shout the loudest," said Richards, the daughter of former Gov. Ann R ichards. "A s a parent, I call that rewarding bad behavior." Richards' speech, titled "R ad ical Right and Public Education" prompted a flood of protests to the UT School of Social Work, the sponsor of the Fifth Annual Texas School Social Work Con­ ference. Barbara W hite, dean of the School of Social Work, said, "I have a stack of papers in my office six inches high." White said she was impressed w ith the o rg an izatio n of the p ro testers, but described their approach as one in which "facts don't matter, and threats and insults are rampant." "The way the campaign against Richards was carried out has been one of the most frightening experiences of my life," White said. "The danger is very real." But State Rep. Charlie Howard, R-Sugar Land, said, "There is no academic freedom in that pre­ sentation. How do you find out the truth wnen you only hear one side?" As a concession to the protests, the School of Social Work agreed to invite an opposing speak­ er. Kathi Seay, a m em ber of the Round Rock Independent School District Board of Trustees and Citizens for Excellence in Education, held a separate simultaneous presentation titled "Som e­ body has to be Right in Public Education." But the com prom ise was not satisfactory to some who said they felt Seay should have been allowed to rebut Richards. "I asked for a debate in front of an audience w ith a question and answ er p eriod ," Howard said. "It's unfortunate that people in attendance weren't able to hear both sides. ... advocacy was the intent of Mrs. W hite" in having separate pre­ sentations. White said intimidating tactics were directed at her and the School of Social Work. Howard th r e a te n e d to seek re m o v a l o f fu n d s for R ic h a r d s ' p o rtio n o f the c o n fe re n c e . Tom Pauken, chairm an of the R epublican Party of Texas, also called on the U niversity to cancel Richards' speech. Fran Danis, chairman of the Planning Commit­ tee for the conference, defended the separate pre­ sentations. "W e think separate workshops pro­ tect everybody's right to be heard. This presenta­ tion was not scheduled as a debate," said Danis, who is also the associate director of the UT Cen­ ter for Social Work. Richards' speech focused on how organiza­ tions such as the CEE, Christian Coalition and the Eagle Forum have a national strategy for tak­ ing over local school boards. "These groups rely on voter apathy," Richards said. "They know that with just two fundamen­ talist churches they can win school board elec­ tions with 'stealth candidates.' Their goals have nothing to do with public education." Richards' group was formed last year to chal­ lenge the influences of religious conservatives in public education.

"Selling the utility will mean higher bills, h ig h er taxes and h ig h er p o llu tio n ," said Peter Altman, a m em ber o f A ustinites for Affordable Municipal Power. The Austin City Council is scheduled to v o te T h u rsd a y on w h e th e r to is su e a Request for Proposals to solicit offers to buy or m anage the electric u tility system . The RFP would also include proposals to form a partnership with other utilities. The Electric Utility Commission M onday voted 5-4 against recom m ending that the city issue the RFP. The question of what, if anything, should be changed in the way the city operates the utility was raised recently with the release of a Price W aterhouse study on the u tility 's projected com petitiveness in an open mar­ ket.

Many experts in the utility industry said they believe the market will be deregulated in the com ing years, w hich could lead to competition among electricity providers. Supporters of issuing the RFP said the city cannot make a good decision on choosing a partner or sellin g the u tility w ithout the information that could be obtained through an RFP. "I couldn't agree to a sale or a partnership until I saw an offer," said Jam es O'Connell, an Electric Utility Com m ission member. "I sure hope the council agrees to issue the RFP so we can go ahead with our eyes open and not closed." Trey Salinas, Austin Mayor Bruce Todd's ad m inistrative aide, said issuing the RFP does not mean the city wants to sell the utili­ ty. But asking for proposals is the only way to correctly evaluate the utility's value, he said. Others said issuing the RFP would only be the first step in Todd's plan to sell the utility. "T his proposal to issu e an RFP for our u tility is an out and o u t attem p t by our mayor to sell the utility," said Altman, who serves as director of the Sustainable Energy and Economic Development Coalition. Altman said selling the utility to a private com pany would not only result in nigher rates, but also the loss of the $60 million the utility generates for the city's general fund. "There is no way any private company is g o in g to say at th e en d o f a y ear, 'H e y Austin, we made $60 million this year and our shareholders decided that we should give it all back to you,"' Altman said. The city 's $270 m illion general fund is used to pay for fire, police and emergency medical services as well as parks and recre­ ation, libraries and other services. The City Council last week rejected a reso­ lu tion that w ould h ave d irected the city manager to draw up a charter amendment that would allow the city to sell the utility. Selling the utility would require a general e lectio n for vo ters to d ecid e w h eth er to amend the city charter. DA accused of ignoring TexPool losses Critics target Ronnie Earle fo r not investigating the legality o f treasurer’s TexPool investment fund bailout TARA COPP Daily Texan Staff Harvey Kronberg, author of the Quorum Report, accused Earle Mon­ day of ignoring "this financial scandal which has no equal in Texas history." 44 (Earle) has trict attorney's office will investigate.

Earle is most recently known for eth ics charges he brou ght to trial against former treasurer and current U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey H utchison in 1994. Earle then dropped the charges as th a t trial w as b e g in n in g . The charges alleged that Hutchison used her treasury post for political gain, and insisted allegations were a politi­ cal vendetta against her. "Earle obviously wants to get past the Democratic primary before inves­ tigating a Democratic officeholder. Such an investigation could upset Earle's re-election apple cart," he said. Both of Earle's Democratic prima­ ry opponents, Jim Sawyer and David Schulman, challenged his history of investigations. "[Earle] has never treated his friends harshly," Sawyer said. "His political allies only get a slap on the wrist." Sch u lm an said " If th e d istric t attorney is not vigorously prosecut­ ing, there are political implications that should not be overlooked." Staff in the treasurer's office main­ tain that TexPool's losses remain at $55 m illion, and that they "v e h e ­ m en tly d isag ree w ith [M o rales'] opinion," said assistant press secre­ tary Steve Garven.

"[The treasurer] talked to the attor­ ney general's staff at a December 9th [1994] meeting, and no one stopped her then — I think someone is trying to cover their rear ends," he said. But Ward Tisdale, press secretary for Morales, said "there was a differ­ ent reading of events." "W e in no way endorsed the plan of action she took," he said. "That is very clear based on the reports at the time and subsequent reports." Get A Piece Of The Peace...

Charles Bergh, division director for the Transportation and Natural Resources Department, said the fee in creases at H ippie H ollow and Hamilton Pool Preserve could result in $190,000 in additional revenue for the county in the summer months. The proposal to eliminate the $50 annual pass to all county parks and replace it with a $20 pass for five park visits seem s to be the m ost controversial request, Bergh said.

As the State Auditor's office pre­ pares to release final numbers on a predicted $55 million loss in the Tex­ Pool investment fund, critics of the legality of the bailout Tuesday tar­ geted District Attorney Ronnie Ear­ le's non-involvement in the case.

At a news conference Tuesday at Democ­ ratic N ational C om m ittee h ead q u arters, Bryant announced he'd won the endorse­ ments of Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson and Martin Frost of Dallas, Ron Colem an of El Paso and Lloyd Doggett of Austin. So far, these are the only endorsements in the 18-member Texas Democratic House del­ egation in advance of the March 12 primary. All four have known Bryant since the 1970s, all but Frost having served with Bryant in the Texas Legislature. "I want to make it clear I am here for John Bryant. I am not speaking against any of the other cand id ates," said Frost, adding that Bryant has the best chance of going head-to- head w ith R ep u blican Sen . Phil G ram m , who is seeking a third six-year term. "W e w ant som ebody w ho will go after Gramm who will not give him a moment's peace between now and Nov. 5,” said Frost, who is chairman of the House D em ocrats' main campaign committee. Doggett touted Bryant's push for congres­ sional lobbying reform and a gift ban that passed the House last year. "John Bryant has carried on here in Congress the same reform spirit for which he was known in the Texas Legislature," he said. Frost and Doggett, who joined Bryant at the news conference, carefully avoided men­ tion of the other candidates — fellow House member Jim Chapman of Sulphur Springs, Houston law yer John Odam and M esquite teacher Victor Morales. For his part, C hap m an said he d o esn 't resent his colleagues' picking sides. "S o long as they are saying they think John Bryant would make a fine U.S. senator, that's OK. There are a lot of the delegation that think Jim Chapman would make a fine U.S. sen a to r," C hapm an said. " I t d oesn't offend me at all. Now if they w ere to say something that w ere either wrong or nega­ tive about Jim Chapman, I might have a dif­ ferent view about it." Joh n so n is p u ttin g m oney beh in d her end orsem ent. Sh e has taken out a $5,000 radio advertising buy in Dallas that touts her candidacy as well as Bryant's. Colem an is doing a similar buy in El Paso.

S h e toured two class- ro o m s a n d atte n d e d a foru m in the sc h o o l’s library with students, parents and school officials. First lady brings Clinton's re-election bid to Texas Associated Press UVALDE — First Lady Hillary Rod­ ham C linton took her husband's re- election cam paign to South Texas on Tuesday and picked up the coveted en d o rsem en t o f form er Gov. D olph Briscoe. "I'm a great admirer of the tradition that Gov. Briscoe represents, and I am pleased to be here on behalf of the pres­ ident to say thank you for your words of support," Mrs. Clinton said. The campaign stop, which came one week before the Texas prim ary, was aimed at shoring up support for Presi­ dent Clinton among the conservative wing of the state's Democratic Party. It marked the first time a first lady has visited Uvalde — a ranching town of about 15,000 located 80 miles west of San Antonio — since Bess and Harry Truman came calling in 1948 on former vice president John Nance Gamer. Mrs. C lin to n and B riscoe w ent to great lengths to draw parallels between the two visits as they spoke to a crowd of about 3,000 on the lawn of Garner's museum home. They were accompanied by Briscoe's wife, Janey, and other high- ranking Texas Democratic officials. "M rs. Clinton, it is w ith the sam e warmth of Mr. Gamer in 1948 and the sam e strong, com p lete su p p ort that Janey and I welcome you and offer you that support to you and your husband, the same as Mr. G arner expressed in 1948 to Mr. Truman," said Briscoe, who was governor from 1973-79. The first lady, after receiving a greet­ ing and bouquet of yellow roses from B ris c o e 's g ra n d d a u g h ter, M u ffin g V aughan, em phasized h er them e of helping children. Mrs. Clinton said her husband advo­ cates a voluntary television ratings sys­ tem and the "v -ch ip " for parental dis­ cretion; a com petitive education sys­ tem; uniform s for school child ren to prevent strife over status-symbol cloth­ ing; and work programs to help anyone who wants to attend college afford it. The first lady also referred to the com­ ing campaign season, urging voters not to be swayed by opponents' fear tactics or those who advocate isolationism. Associated Press WACO — When Lester and Coque Gib­ son's son failed the state's basic skills test eight years ago, they were dism ayed. Last year, when their 16-year-old daughter failed, they were appalled. The middle-class black couple had always hoped their children would defy the odds and grasp the American dream. But educa­ tion is the key. So Gibson demanded an accounting of the school d istrict's test scores. And w hen he spread the numbers across his desk, he was shocked: Seventy-five percent of the black students and 66 percent of the Hispanic stu­ dents failed the test in 1995, com pared to only 37 percent of the white students. The school d istrict blam es poverty and poor parenting for the failure rates. But Gib­ son blames institutional racism — teachers, he says, have low expectations of minority children. "If we're going to get blamed for the edu­ cation of our kids," Gibson says, "th en we may as well take control of their educational destiny and take a shot at it." And thus began Project Exodus, a move­ m ent aim ed at b re ak in g aw ay from the Waco Independent School District and form­ ing a new one. In Waco and in other pockets around the country, especially inner cities, black parents are rebelling against a system they say has fostered only failure. Gibson, the county's sole black com m is­ sioner, says that although he can afford to send his two rem aining school-age daugh­ ters to private schools, he can't turn his back on the families who cannot. So instead of giving up on the public school system altogether, he is proposing to secede from the mother district and form a new one — a d istrict w here m ostly black children would go to neighborhood schools, where board members would be mostly minorities. Gibson is taking advantage of a state law passed last year by the Texas Legislature that allows neighborhoods to detach from a school district. Ironically, the L egislature's black caucus had fought the bill, believing white neigh­ borhoods would rush to secede from pre­ dominantly black districts. But in Waco, it's black parents, not white, who are the first to take advantage of the new law. Last fall, Gibson said he would give the dis­ trict until this spring, when the latest round of test scores come in, to dramatically improve student performance and upgrade five "low - performing," mostly minority schools. Now, he says his group is backing a His­ panic candidate to join Gibson's wife on the mostly white, seven-m em ber district board of trustees. If the Hispanic candidate unseats a white board member in the May 4 election, minorities would becom e the majority and Gibson would give them one year to make significant improvements. If his candidate loses and test results are poor, Gibson says he will proceed with Pro­ ject Exodus. District Superintendent Fred Zachary says he doubts he can deliver significantly higher test scores so quickly, and he also doubts Project Exodus will succeed. Zachary's district barely meets the m ini­ mum enrollment of 16,000 required before a district can be split, and Waco voters also must approve the plan. But more importantly, the superintendent says, there's the issue of race. " I don't think the people down at the fed­ eral courthouse will let anyone resegregate the schools of W aco," Zachary said. "W e've tried sep a ra te b u t eq u al, and th ey w ere never equal." The chairman of the local National Associ­ ation for the Advancement of Colored Peo­ ple chapter opposes Project Exodus for the same reason. "Because we fail to hold people account­ able does not mean that we are to go back to a segregated society," said Lawrence John­ son, who is also a Waco city council mem­ ber. D eseg reg atio n began in W aco in 1971, with black children being bused across the river and many white families fleeing to the outer city limits. What remains is a largely minority school d istrict, m ade up of 42 percent blacks, 33 percent Hispanics and 25 percent whites.

Loeffler played in all three games against Fullerton as a designated and pinch hitter b ut show ed signs of the long layoff, going 0-for-6 w ith three strike­ outs. "He looked rusty, but that's to be expected because he has been curtailed in all that he can do," Gustafson said. "All of a sudden h e's u p there hit­ ting in a game, and he d id n 't sw ing as well or per­ form as well as I had hoped." The return of Loeffler moves converted third basem an M acGregor Byers from center to rieht field. Hopefully that will be our set outfield with Layne at D H /’ Gustafson said. "But if Byers hurts us with his defense then we'll put Layne out there [in right field] and possibly move Byers to left field and DH Edelstein." Loeffler s comeback adds a new dim ension to the Texas lineup. He had a good year last year, h e's a good defen­ sive center fielder and he's got som e punch on the offense also," H arkrider said. "That's going to help o ur gam e a lo t" UTSA is a relatively new program but m ade it to the NCAA playoffs in 1994. The R oadrunners have yet to beat the Longhorns in three tries and fell last season 14-4. They lost a lot of their key players last year, and I think they had five guys drafted," G ustafson said. LTSA is fresh off a three-game sw eep of South­ land Conference favorite McNeese State and beat the same Texas Lutheran team that defeated the Longhorns. The R oadrunners w ere sw ept in three gam es by undefeated, third-ranked Arkansas and fell 21-7 to No. 18 Rice. UTSA has a team batting average of .337 and are led by center fielder Marc Perez's .491 mark. Perez also has 25 RBIs and tw o hom e runs. "They're a pretty good hitting team, and they score a lot of runs," H arkrider said. "A nd even though they haven't played that good of com peti­ tion, they look like they sw ing the bat pretty good." UTSA has struggled on the m ound as evidenced by the team 's 7.23 ERA. Gustafson will start Donny Barker (3-2, 5.17 ERA) against UTSA's Kevin White (1-0, 22.68 ERA, 20 walks in 8 1 / 3 innings). Gustafson hopes to limit Barker to five innings because he w ants to use him against O klahom a on Sunday. But if m ore innings are needed from Bark­ er to ensure a Texas victory, he will stay in, accord­ ing to Gustafson. ■ Layne was nam ed National Co-Player of the Week M onday by Collegiate Baseball and Mizuno. Layne w ent 13-for-26 with 23 RBIs and five hom ers in his last six games and shared the aw ard w ith Richie Nye of Arkansas, Robert Fick of Cal State-N orthridge and Seth Etherton of USC. It s a great honor to have," Layne said. "I wish it could've been under better circum stances — w ith W 's instead of L's — but it d id n 't happen." 1996 DR PffPB t SWC CLASSIC MBITS BRACKET THURSDAY March 7 FRIDAY March 8 SATURDAY March 9 GAME 1; noon Game 1 Winner GAME 6: 8 p.m. Game 6 Winner Game 2 Winner GAME 7:1 p.m. I M B f r f t p p r SWC C M S * NCAA Game 3 Winner Game 4 Winner GAME 5: 6 p.m. Game 5 Winner * 30 minute minimum between games 03 Texas 06 Baylor 02 Houston GAME 2: 2 p.m. 07SMU 01 Texas Tech GAME 3: 6 p.m. 08 Texas A&M 04 TCU 05 Rice GAME 4: 8 p.m. SWC: Teams hope to get into NCAAs Continued from page 9 JASON W. DUGGER/Daily Texan Staff "They have seen som e stretches, but som e­ times they've only seen it for 20 m inutes," Hogg said. "They saw it the second half of SMU, the first half of Texas Tech at home, the first half of Tech in Lubbock and the entire game against Texas in Austin." Baylor dropped the w in in Austin by failing to drop buckets in at the free-throw line. BU could only náil 2-of-7 from the charity stripe as it lost 65-53. The Bears have had som e teams on the ropes throughout the conference season. A three-point loss to the M ustangs in Waco, a six-point loss to Rice on the road and holding Texas to a one-point w in at the Ferrell C enter are all reasons for Texas Tech coach Marsha Sharp to be w orried about seeing her team m ake it past round one. "Baylor has really gone out and put som e ath­ letes in that program that really scare you to death," Sharp said. "W e have to play well [W ednesday] if we w ant to play another day in the Southw est Conference." A nother team excited about its chances in Dal­ las is No. 4-seeded Texas A&M Aggies (17-11, 8- 6). A first-round m atchup with Rice (13-13, 6-8) is all that separates the A gs from a probable third shot at the Longhorns — a team that defeated A&M on both occasions this season. The Aggies w on't live to get that chance if they d o n 't care of business against the No. 5-seeded Owls. A&M split their regular-season contests against Rice this season.

With this album, the band has practically shut out the darker u n d e rto n e s o f th e ir p re v io u s efforts, instead allowing 14 tuneful, crunchy and sw eet pop songs to effortlessly glide by. Velocity Girl's giddy charms are d iffic u lt to re sist. Lead v o calist Sarah Shannon sings w ith all the vivacity and aplom b of a Go-Go, while Archie M oore's slightly vul­ nerable yet sincere harmonies pro­ v id e a p le a s a n t c o u n te rp o in t.

The perfect d istillation of their sound is alread y ev id en t by the album's second track and first sin­ gle, N othing, a big tune w ith an e x c e lle n t, s o a rin g ch o ru s th a t bounds along by its own mom en­ tum. Also fitting that description are the two title tracks, while songs like Same Old City show off their more introspective side. The fact that Sub Pop has signed Velocity Girl to a five-year contract exhibits how much faith the label has in the band, though releases like Gilded Stars and Zealous Hearts should com pletely vindicate their d e c isio n and m ake som e m ajo r labels awfully jealous. — Michael Jolly THOMAS YOO Daily Texan Staff The High Road features the debut of the lat­ est independent film auteur to come out of Austin. Like those Austin filmmakers that broke ground before him, co-writer and direc­ tor Thomas Pallotta (a UT alumnus) has man­ aged to patch together a rather remarkable, if raw, film on a shoestring budget. The H igh R oad d o cu m en ts fou r young Texans who depart on a roadtrip through the fa m ilia r lan d scap e o f th e Lone Star State. The ren eg ad e sla ck er an ti-h ero es su b scrib e to an e x a g g e ra te d M o rriso n - esque gospel of partying: get as f-ed up as humanly possible and just don't stop. From the inexplicable opening images of pretty cannabis plants to the very end, this movie scream s drugs. No kidding, there is enough substance abuse in this m ovie to put Jim i Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and all the Merry Pranksters together to shame. Phil, N atalie, M ike and Eduardo (Fella Speer, Allison Parks, David Dart and Loren Guer­ ra, respectively) frenziedly devour all the m ind-altering substances possible — ben­ zedrine, m ushroom s and peyote, to name just a few. The High Road is a little light in the area of plot, at times like a long, twisted music video, with lots of really long takes of the fo u r d riv in g and lis te n in g to o b s c u re dream y m usic. Even in its short running length, Pallotta and co. seem to be stretch­ ing thin on material for a first film. There are drugs done in literally alm ost every scene, and sometimes the dialogue digress­ es into strange, trip-induced philosophical meanderings about such provocative stuff as magic mushroom-induced farts. Pallotta does indulge in a few narrative turns.

The main characters are pretty flat, too sin g u la rly h e ll-b e n t on g ettin g w asted . O n e is a n o n -s le e p in g p ill p o p p e r (as opposed to the others). All are extrem ely jaded, and they take their partying very, very seriously. T he ca st o f r e la tiv e ly in e x p e rie n c e d , unknown actors offer an intense but very stilted group of perform ances. H ow ever, these perform ances add to the film 's dis­ tu rbin g realism and relen tless cynicism . The characters look and sound like people you know. It is like a bleak docum entary (althou gh I think this is supposed to be part comedy) of nihilistic drug abuse. Pallotta's home brewed, ultra-real cine­ m atic vision is characteristically dark and intense. The High Road is not an ABC after­ noon special.

It is this edgy and unflinching realism that dis­ tinguishes Pallotta from the likes of Lin- klater and Rodriguez. Despite its nickel and dime budget, The High Road displays pretty im pressive pro­ duction quality. The highlight of the film is cinem atographer Deb Lewis' vivid color SOUND BITES to engage the average listener for the next few months.

Looking to follow the recent suc­ cess of other bands like Elástica and Oasis, this fresh-faced young q u in te t m ak es th e ir A m e rican debut w ith the album This W orld and Body. It is a raw LP capturing the sheer energy of the band, while also show ing o ff their tech n ical abilities and lyrics. Marion hail from Macclesfield, in the north of England, and they are d e fin ite ly in flu e n c e d by o th e r groups from that area such as Joy D ivision and The Sm iths. O ther influential British acts like the Buz- zcocks and Suede also offer their guidance. C om bining those four ban d s crea te s a rough im age of M arion 's sound. The rock of the Buzzcocks, the style and swagger of Suede's Brett Anderson, the con­ tem p lativ e ly rics o f The Sm ith s twisted to fit the darkness of those of Joy Division and an aggressive sexual persona make up Marion. On tracks like Sleep (probably the best song on the album) and Toys fo r Boys, the band reveal their hard­ er sid e , b u t so n g s lik e V an essa show The Smiths' influence (Mari­ on did open for M orrissey on his last UK tour). R elying on singer Ja im e H a r d in g 's v o ice and the songwriting skills of Harding and guitarists Tony Grantham and Phil Cunningham, the pop-ish numbers show the true potential of Marion. They are good, but need more hon­ ing. M arion is a good band, with a very hard-to-define sound.

Certainly, they have their predecessors — nearly every­ one can think of some music that inspires them to grab an attractive m em b er o f th e d esired sex and drag them off into a private corner. Usually, the choice of this music is as varied as all humanity, but a surprising num ber of people will agree that GVSB is the one for the deed.

Texas teams look ahead to play in Big 12 A fter leaving their marks on the Southwest Conference, both the Texas m en's and women's teams are headed to the newly- formed Big 12. The Lady Longhorns dominated the history of the SWC, winning 10 of the 14 conference titles, including eight straight regular-season titles from 1983-90. The race for the m en's title w as dom i­ nated by A rkansas and H ouston through out the '80s. But w ith the departure of the R azorbacks in 1991 and the gradua­ tion of the C ougars' Phi Siam m a Jam m a team s, Texas stepped in and grabbed three of the last five SW C titles. The m ove that triggered the m en's resurgence w as the hiring of coach Tom Penders. Penders cam e in, dubbed his team the "R u n n in ' H orns" and led them to six N CA A Tournam ent appearances in seven years. Now Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Baylor w ill m erge with the Big 8, a league filled with basketball-rich pro­ gram s such as Kansas, M issouri and O klahom a. "T h is is w hat w e'v e been w aiting for — a new conference," Penders said. "It will probably be one of the m ost com peti­ tive conferences in the country. W e'll be in a tough conference, and w ith that com es respect." Respect is som ething Penders has been looking for ever since taking the coaching job at Texas. Playing the tough confer­ ence schedule should give all the Big 12 team s a larger m easure of respect, som e­ thing Texas Tech coach Jam es D ickey is counting on. "P eople alw ays com plain about our schedule," D ickey said, "b u t now with this new conference schedule, I d on't think there w ill be any com plaints. We're ** _ * better w ith the addition of these four quality pro­ g ram s." The Lady H orns w ere conquering the SW C before it even joined the league, com ­ piling a record 183- gam e w in streak against SW C team s from 1978-90. Th at success carried ov er to the national level as well. Texas head coach Jo d y C onradt produced the first w om en's team to go undefeated as the Lady L onghorns won the 1986 n ational'cham ­ pionship. Texas finished at the top of the A ssociated Press poll four consecutive years from 1984-87. "Texas has had such a strong tradi­ tion ," Texas forward A m ie Sm ith said. "Texas has alw ays been a dom inant force going to be playing Kansas and M issouri and those team s every year. O ur schedule w ill be bru­ tal next season, but that's w hat you have to do to get respect." O klahom a coach Kelvin Sam pson said the addition of the Texas team s w ill do w ond ers for M idw est basketball. "O u r team already has a rivalry with Texas that's been going on forever," Sam pson said. "B u t now, w e'll develop rivalries with all the Texas team s. Our league is already good, but it can only get T ic Dm ly Texan's All-Time SWC Team AKEEM OLAJUWON Houston ’82-’84 CLYDE DR Houston ’81-83 MONCRIEF Arkansas ’76-79 OTIS BIRDSONG Houston '76-77 ✓ TRAVIS MAYS Texas '87-'90 \ .

In the '90s, Texas has had to share that d om inance — and two SW C titles — with Texas Tech. The Lady Longhorns first tied Texas Tech for the conference title in 1993. The two team s, w hich shared so much success, shared the final SW C title as well. While she is appreciative of the success Texas has enjoyed in the SW C, Conradt adm its the tim ing is right to join the new conference. "I thought, when the conference started to break up, that this w ould be a far m ore emotional year than it's b een ," C onradt said. "I haven't seen that kind of em otion, really, in any of the sports. So that sort o f tells me th at it w as probably time. "Everything-changes, and I believe ath­ matt young tracy c. schultz jason w. dugger po ss cravens letics is no d iffe re n t.' So I don't feel that sadness that I thought m ight accom pany this last year. I am ready for the next challenge, and I think certainly the Big 12 is going to be that." Together, the two program s w ill be looking to make the Big 12 one of the strongest women's basketball conferences in the country. Were the conference together now, the Big 12 w ould have four team s in the top 25. Two from each side o f the conference merger, including Texas Tech (7), Colorado (19), Kansas (20) and Texas (24). The SW C teams definitely have som e­ thing other than history to offer the new conference —- fans. Texas and Texas Tech are consistently in the top five in atten­ dance in the country. The Lady Longhorns finished the 1994- 95 season with the second highest atten­ dance in the country, averaging over 8,000 fans per game. Tech finished at No. 5, w ith 7,368 fans per gam e. "I hope we can have a positive im pact," Conradt said . "I think what Texas and Texas Tech take w ith them is that w om en's basketball can draw and take fans w ith them. We have credibility, and we take credibility w ith us. We hope th at's som ething." Texas Jody Conradt is the winnlngest coach In women’s history.
