ALYSSA BANTA/Daily Texan Staff lefend affirmative Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Clinton will support federal affirmative action programs ''w ith o u t a p o lo g y ," his ch ief civil rights enforcer said Tuesday on the eve of the pres­ ident's long-awaited speech on the issue. Deval Patrick, assistant attorney-general for civil rights, said the Clinton administra­ tion will not "b e intimidated" by a Supreme C ourt ruling that jeop ard ized affirm ative action programs that award federal contracts to minority businesses. U We favor affirmative action without hype, without fear and without apology.” — Deval Patrick, assistant attorney general Instead, Patrick said, the adm inistration w ill d efen d the p ro g ra m s, alth o u g h the agency's counsel has advised that some pro­ grams might not survive legal challenges. "T h e adm inistration, through the presi­ dent's speech, is making clear that we favor affirm ativ e action w ithout hype, w ithout fear and without apology," Patrick said dur­ ing a minority business sum mit on Capitol Hill. C lin to n is to sp ell ou t his a ffirm a tiv e action strategy Wednesday in an address at the National Archives. Whatever his decision, Clinton will be stir­ ring up political trouble. Some congressional Republicans are advo­ cating the repeal of programs that use quo­ tas, set-asides, tim etables, goals and other preferences, arguing that they discriminate against white men. W h ite H o u s e c h i e f o f s t a f f L e o n P a n e tta , a n s w e r in g q u e s tio n s a fte r a s p e e c h to m a g a z in e e x e c u t iv e s , sa id C lin to n 's m e ssa g e w o u ld be u p liftin g , " a t a tim e w hen this issue is being used on a p o litica l b a sis to d iv id e us ra th e r than to bring us to g e th e r." He said the president will confirm "affir­ mative action has played a positive role in terms of our society in dealing with discrimi­ nation." Patrick said the adm inistration's defense would involve some litigation for some pro­ gram s, but is not entirely centered on the courts. The Justice D ep artm ent's office of legal counsel has advised that affirm ative action programs begun without congression­ al approval are especially vulnerable to legal challenge, and those that make race or eth­ nicity a requirem ent of eligibility may not survive. ^ Som e programs may not survive a court j i - challenge, "but we're convinced that many, many programs — if not most — can, and that programs that don't can, and should, be modified so that they meet that challenge," Patrick said. Alexis Herman, director of public liaison, said the White House has consulted various groups on developing "d efinition and real understanding of w hat affirm ative action is," according to different categories — edu­ cation, em p loy m en t or g ov ern m en t co n ­ tracts. When asked whether the president is com ­ mitted to affirmative action goals and timeta­ bles for achieving those goals, Herman said: T expect the president will make the appro­ priate distinctions that are necessary."

Part three focuses on the teachers who run the program. MICHAEL BRICK_____________ Daily Texan Staff Margarita Arellano outwardly dis­ plays a quality m ost instructors in large u n iv ersities lack or rem ain reserved about: pride m her students. Arellano, a student affairs adminis­ trator, runs the SUCCESS program, an intensive sum m er orientation for a select 100 black and Hispanic students, w hich som e at the U niversity feel gives an unfair edge to minorities. Arellano is focused on her mission. "W e 're serving a lot of students who would not normally be here," she said. "I like to see d iv ersity in all aspects." Students in the program, who miss priority admission usually because of low entrance exam scores, are admit­ ted after in d iv id u al review from admissions officers. About 60 percent are first-generation college students. The n mgr am, expanded from 50 to > 100 students this year, offers a rigorous summer regimen in which students are required to live in dormitories and take freshman-level classes. But it offers a chance for students to develop a sup­ port system on a college campus that proves to be a world much different from the one they are used to. "The most rewarding part is to see your students succeed," Arellano said. "It's seeing how scared they are and then seeing them bloom." As Dean of Students Sharon Justice pointed out, chances for success and u ltim ate ly grad u atio n for m any minority students and students from sm all high sch oo ls are som ew h at reduced from the outset. And not for lack of intelligence. "I think we have to look at all aspects of a student's life on campus, " Justice said. "I think there's a sense of isolation. They have to really work hard to find a support system." Justice added that minority recruit­ ment without retention efforts would be a waste of time in many cases. "A ll you have then is a revolving door,' she said. "II [minority students] have a negative experience here, they go back to the communities and talk about it." Gage Paine, an associate dean of students, realizes the skepticism that hovers over efforts like SUCCESS. "Can you provide individual atten­ tion to everyone on a cam pus this big?" Paine asked. But as A rellano noted, students' chances of graduating from a large university have at least as much to do with feeling com fortable as they do with academic ability. Feeling comfortable and prepared for college life com es differently for students from different backgrounds. "I will not call our students remedi­ al because they're not," Arellano said. "Anybody getting accepted and com­ ing to UT is not remedial." UT officials do not yet know what impact the program, started in 1988, will have on minority recruitment. The p rogram p ro v id es a "v ery structured sum m er," Arellano said. Paine said the most important work is providing the opportunity to adapt to the culture shock many minority stu­ dents must overcome before they can even think about studying. LORI TAFFET/Daily Texan Staff Margarita Arellano runs the SUCCESS program and teaches the educa­ tional psychology class required for students in the summer program. "I think the students over the sum­ mer build a support network for them­ selves so they don't come here and are the only students from their town and don't know how to make friends and study partners," she said. ♦ 2 T h e D a ily T e x a n WBME8MY, JUUf 19,1996 EDITORIALS I L O I T E R I N G I M O I ALCOHOLIC I BE YE RAC IS I NO I uwocMNier UmB S hI 4«5m cxjsmAhc € cam paign debt from his ]-SS preside or w inning the presidency Furtherm ore since he ‘still ha- $150 OCO in rai>.. g m 'n e\ rc r another cam r a r e r So wr.v is -acksor threatening to ai bid he could have trouble sabotage C linton - re-election chances' T h e Da i l y T e x a n Editorial Board M a rk Murray A sso c ia te E d ito r Robert Rocv E c roc O pinions expresivo w riter or the atticie Thex adm inistration th e B oard or K ept - t s or Board o : O perating Iru: -v .v c ^ - • Dr . ~ - 1 VIEWPOINT Jackson s folly I t s orJy a -."ear an d a au Perore the l"*b election a r c Democratic •£ control or their partv Tuesday - \ > tactions are still feu. residence or challenging C anton in iheV n- Vori Times reported independent bid for tht m anes iackson know s th a t w ith his narrow political rrval he has no shot Jackson u>¡cn> that he xearsts to prom ote his constituents interest- He feels that Cur r en as a centrist Democratic president has not done enough to advance the liberal agenda In tner w ords Jackson is not seriously considering a presidential _ threats and support Clinton. — Chris P arry Nonobjective By and large, the U niversity's new center to give policv inform a­ tion about Texas public schools is desirable.

There is no crim e in burning the A m erican flag. Burning the American flag is not the best w ay to express one's feeling tow ard the governm ent. If som eone has bought a flag w ith his ow n m oney and paid taxes for it, this m akes it his personal property. Personal property is personal property, no m atter if it is a symbol of our nation. A person should have the right to do w hat he pleases w ith it. People act as if burning the flag is b u rn ­ ing our nation. The A m erican flag is a sym ­ bol of ou r nation, a symbol of freedom. Bianca Burnside Provisional student Don’t abandon words yet I w ould like to point out tw o m istakes that Rob A lexander m ade in his otherw ise factual July 12 article on Q uentin Tarantino ("'P u lp Fiction' author ushers new age of film"). First, he said that "the basis for m ost com m unication has m ade a drastic shift from textual to visual." This statem ent is false. The spoken w ord (in person or tele­ phone) rem ains a pervasive form of com ­ m unication that is neither textual nor visu­ al but aural. M oreo v er, th e so u n d of w o rd s is absolutely necessary to radio, television and film. As for the w ritten w ord, fax m achines, e-m ail and the Internet are m ost­ ly textual.

Their bodies were found Tuesday afternoon in W adi Kelt, a gorge 12 miles east of Jerusalem in the occu­ pied West Bank. It was the first deadly attack since April 9, when seven Israelis and an American were killed in a suicide bombing by Islamic militants in the autonomous Gaza Strip. Dozens of right-wing protesters blocked the road outside Prim e M in ister Y itzhak R a b in 's office Tuesday evening, w aving torches and shouting "W e want revenge!" Some scuffled with police. There were no arrests. Jewish settler leaders said they planned large protests across the country and would blockade the autonomous Jericho enclave. Opposition legislators called for an im m ediate halt to talks on expanding the 14-month-old Gaza- Jericho autonomy throughout the West Bank, which Israel has occu­ pied since the 1967 M id d le East war. Israeli and PL O teams are meet­ ing in seclusion at the Z ich ro n Yaakov resort in northern Israel to work out details. At this violent hour, the prime minister has to pick up the tele­ phone to Zichron Yaakov, summon home the Israeli delegation and announce that as long as there is terror there w ill be no progress in the talks," said right-wing lawmak­ er Tzahi Hanegbi. A telephone call to The Associat­ ed Press claimed the attack was car­ ried out by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, or PFLP, a radical P L O faction opposed to the peace process. The claim could not im mediately be verified. The caller said the attackers had taken a rifle from the victims. Police identified the victims as O ri Shehor, 19, from the Israeli town of Raanana and Ohad Bachrach, 18, from the West Bank settlement of Beit El. The re p e n ts said Bachrach was a soldier. Both were shot in the head, police said, and the throat of one was slit. "For 18 years we raised a child to learn to love the Land of Israel... This hike was to be part of that, Bachrach s father, Arieh, told Israel TV. Hundreds of soldiers, on foot and in helicopters, swarm ed the area searching for the killers.

After a tense, 51-day siege, 81 Davidians, including Koresh, died as tire roared through the wooden structure following an FBI tear- gas assault. The government contends the fire was set by cultists. The Treasury Department, which is ATF's parent agency, issued a scathing report fault­ ing ATF for operational errors and proceeding with the raid despite losing the element of sur­ prise. Changes in top-level ATF management resulted. A Justice Department review exonerated the FBI of any m isconduct, hold ing Koresh responsible for his followers' deaths. The C lin to n adm inistration is sensitive about the hearings, which appear likely to focus more on the actions of law enforcement rather than any wrongdoing by cult members. Treasury Secretary Robert R u b in has expressed concern that the hearings could undermine law enforcement and foment para­ noia in anti-government circles. Some congressional Democrats have ques­ tioned Republican motives for the hearings, seeing them as an attempt to embarrass the administration. Ms. Lee criticized the Republicans' coopera­ tion with Democrats over the hearings' struc­ ture. "W e 'v e been treated like second-class citi­ zens, and it's been a cloak-and-dagger attitude at this point," she said. In recent days, ties have been disclosed between G O P congressional staffers and the National Rifle Association. Consultants hired by the n ation's largest pro-gun lobby appeared at a Texas Department of Public Safety building in the company of Republican staffers last month, seeking unsuccessfully to X-ray the Davidians' charred weapons stock­ pile. . • CONTESSA » C O N T ESSA » CONTESSA .

Shells rained down on Zepa as Serbs tried to batter the remote mountainous enclave into surrender — a feat even the Nazis failed to accomplish. There were unconfirmed reports that Serb rebels, who penetrated to within a mile of Zepa, made further advances over the rugged terrain. Desperate to protect Zepa's 10,000 to 16,000 civilians, troops of the mostly Muslim government army who had already stolen peacekeepers' weapons threatened to use the U.N. soldiers as human shields. "Bosnian government troops are sur­ rounding the main base of the Ukrainian company and are threatening to use them as human shields unless there are NATO airstrikes on the Serbs," said U.N. spokesman Rida Ettarashany. Discovery upstaged by earthbound crew ■ C A P E C A N A V E R A L , Fla. - Never mind that five astronauts were circling Earth aboard space shuttle Discovery, and that one of their windows was gouged by a micrometeorite. NASA's last shuttle crew, just back from Russia's space station Mir, stole the show Tuesday with pictures and descriptions of the dramatic docking as well as the more mundane aspects of long-term space travel. , Although an avid newspaper reader, American astronaut Norman Thagard said diere was nothing in particular that he felt he missed in terms of news during his nearly four months aloft, a U.S. space endurance record. NASA sent him a note at one point jok­ ing that "I had been picked as the one-per­ son jury for the O.J. trial because it had been determined that 1 was the only per­ son, the only American, who had not been prejudiced by pretrial publicity," Tha­ gard said. Thagard told reporters he felt fine and that he had readjusted quickly to gravity after returning to Earth on space shuttle Atlantis on July 7. He blasted off on a Russian Soyuz rocket on March 14 from Kazakhstan with cosmonauts Vladimir Dezhurov and Gennady Strekalov. — C om piled from Associated Press reports EXAM + 2 PAIR OF CONTACTS Starting at S1 19* Complete pnce includes exam, 2 pair clear doily wear soft contacts, care kit, dispensing instructions, 1 st follow up EXPIRES JUNE 30,1995.

UT e m p lo y e e s h a d b e e n m a k in g e ffo rts th e p a s t tw o y e a rs to re g a in access to the program, said Don Gessler, PCA president and chief executive officer. PCA sued the UT System tw o years ago after the H M O w as left out of a new health care provider plan, but lost w hen state judges ruled th at the System did not have to offer PCA to UT em ployees. Ray Farabee, vice chancellor and gen­ eral counsel for the UT System, helped defend the system in the suit. Farabee said he w as not su re w hy the System a llo w e d PCA to co m e b ack in to th e health plan. N either Bob Malloy, w ho coordinates the plan, nor Jam es G uck- ian, executive associate for health policy and planning, w ho created it, could be reached for com m ent Tuesday.

Jam es Kieke, a UT staff m em ber an d m em ber of the T exas State E m ployees U nion, said em p lo y ees had long been unhappy w ith the system 's offerings. He added that, had the program not been modi­ fied, “there would have been a big outcry from staff, who are not being treated very well anyway." In the 1993 lawsuit, PCA argued that one particular line in the Texas insurance code prevented the System from leaving HMOs off the UT health plan if they are approved in state employees' health plans. PCA covered about 4,000 UT employees through the Sys­ tem's insurance plan at the time. PCA lost the suit when District Judge Scott McCown ruled that administrators had the right to choose which programs to include in the health plan and which to leave off. In 1994, the 3rd District Texas Court of Appeals upheld M cCown's decision, reaf­ firm ing that "w e could m ake choices," Farabee said. "If th e /d reversed it, we would have had to take not only [PCA] but several others," Farabee said. Besides fighting the lawsuit, System lobby­ ists quashed House Bill 1033 in die last leg­ islative session, Kieke said. The measure w ould have merged the health insurance program s for the UT System, the Texas A&M System and state employees. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Glen Maxey, D-Austin, was based on recommendations from state Comptroller John Sharp's office, b u t according to M axey's office the m ea­ s u re died in the H o u se P ensions an d Investm ents Com m ittee. M a x ey 's sta ff m e m b e rs w o u ld n o t co m m en t on w h e th e r the UT S ystem helped kill the bill, and said they w ere n o t c o n ta c te d b y S y ste m o ffic ia ls regarding that bill.

M ICHELLE CHRISTENSON/Daily Texan Staff UISO examines Panther impact PETER LIM Daily Texan S taff — ___________________________ m unity. Calling for m ilitant opposition to police brutality, a m em ber of the U niversity International Socialist O rg an izatio n spoke T uesday on the im pact of the Black P anthers during the Civil Rights era. At a U lSO -sponsored m eeting T uesday evening, UISO m em ber Michael C orw in gave a presentation about the history of the Black Panther Party, an often m ilitan t civil rights organ ization of the 1960s. The presentation was followed by a discussion on the topic. The Black Panthers and the UISO share "a critique of the system that goes beyond nationalism," Corwin said "The Panthers were able to distinguish themselves from narrow black nationalists and were willing to work with white groups,” he said. "They represented a militant fight- back as opposed to merely seeking legal reforms." The objective of the m eeting w as to learn about the strategies and purposes of the m ovem ent, said D ana Cloud, assistant professor of speech com m unication and UISO member. "There is a renew ed need for m ilitant activism to end racism," she said. But Leonardo Davinci Evans, a participant in the discussion, said it w as unfair for the USIO to assum e that the P anthers w ere socialist in orientation. Alii A w eu si, a fo rm e r B lack P anther said, "The African-American community is worse off now than it was in 1963.

"These rules w ill establish new guarantees for fair treatment of patients and doctors as more compa­ nies move their health insurance plans to managed care systems." B o m e r said the proposed rules had four p rim a ry goals: m aintain the quality of care, ensure fairness to patients, secure fairness to providers and keep costs down. In an attempt to achieve the prim ary goals, Bom er has proposed almost two dozen specific recommenda­ tions, such as prohibiting H M O retaliatory measures against doctors w ho refer too m any of their patients to specialists or patients who cost too much money. Jim Davis, spokesman for Bomer, said the new rules are necessary because the Texas Department of Insur­ ance has received complaints that H M O s have offered financial incentives to doctors w ho do not refer patients to sp e c ia lis ts or, in less n u m e ro u s instances, e ven rem oved physicians from their H M O s w ho refer too m any patients to specialists. This lowers the medical expense that the H M O has to cover, but it also denies proper care to some patients, D avis said. S e v e ra l of the re co m m e n d a tio n s B o m e r released appear to be identical to those proposed earlier this year by Rep. John Smithee, R-Am arillo, in House Bill 2766, w hich w as vetoed by the G o v. George W . Bush. According to a Ray Sullivan, spokesman for the g ov­ ernor, Bush decided to veto the bill because it contained several pro visio n s that " u n d u ly interfered w ith the health care system." Unfortunately, the final bill imposes numerous new regulations on managed care organizations, adds poten­ tially significant costs to state and local governm ents and private employers, and contains exemptions w hich m ay give a com petitive advantage to some managed care organizations," Bush w rote in his veto proclam a­ tion. Geoff W arzel, executive director of the Texas H M O Association, said there are slight differences between H B 2766 and B o m e r's re c o m m e n d a tio n s , y e t he endorsed Bomer's proposed regulations. He added that although the specific recom m endations h ave not yet been published, he anticipates his organization to testify S T E P H A N IE F R IE D M A N D a ily T e x a n S ta ff Insurance C om m issioner Elton Bom er, left, and Gov. G eorge W. Bush introduce their new HMO plan. against an y fu rth er regu lations that they th in k are unnecessary. House B ill 2766 "looked like a trash truck, it kept picking up more trash as it went along," W arzel said. "The differences [between Bom er's recommendations and H B 2766] are in the subtleties and degrees." W arzel pointed out one section of the bill that w ould have required speciality hospitals to serve as providers for every H M O plan in the state as one of the unneces­ sary aspects of the bill. According to the governor's office, there is currently only one such hospital in the state: the U n iv e rs ity of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. "In vetoing the Patient Protection Act, H B 2766, the governor recognized that the measure had little [to] do with the patients and everything to do with protecting a few special interest groups," said Dr. Donald Gessler president of Texas H M O Association, in a prepared statement. Before being implemented into public policy, the pro­ posed patient protection rules must be made public and be considered at a public hearing. A tentative date has been set for late August.

Sherron w as fired for breaking the trust and destroy­ ing the confidence he held as an investigator, Dickman Sherron said that w hen he started his federal career in 1989 as a U.S. Custom s inspector in Laredo, he fell in lo ve w ith V irg in ia G u tierrez M elgar, a G u atem alan national he met at a barbecue. H is main duty as a customs agent w as to regulate commerce and cargo coming across the border and only occasionally did he help immigration officials, Sherron told the judge. H e said he apprehended several illegal immigrants w h ile checking rail facilities and other cargo holding areas where they hid at times. Mrs. Sherron said she first told Sherron she was a legal im m igrant from Mexico, but told him the truth w hen he proposed to her. Sherron helped her file the correct paperwork and informed his supervisors, who took no immediate action, he said. Sherron traced his problem s to fe llo w retirem ent board inspector H ill Love. He said Love asked him how an A nglo came to m arry a Hispanic and Sherron told him the situation. After an investigation, agency officials also accused Sherron of lying on an application he filled out Sept. 7, 1994, for the investigator's job. Sherron said he believed he had answered the questions truthfully that were the basis of the allegation.

But with the much-awaited seagoing epic Watenvorld opening on Friday, July 28, the Tom Hanks-heáded mission may begin to peter out. The budget for Watcrworld is rumored to have crashed in at around $180 million, which makes it the most expensive motion picture in the history of cinema. The film is going to have to do a lot of business overseas to recoup that kind of price tag. ■ The animated Disney epic Poca­ hontas is still navigating success­ fully through the rest of the sum ­ mer film fare. This weekend's receipts put the film over the $100 million mark, but it's doubtful it will do the same kind of business as its cousin The Lion King. ■ The top 10 movies in the Unit­ ed States for the weekend of July 14 - July 16 were 1. Apollo 13 — $15.6 million, gross $90.9 million 2. Under Siege 2: Dark Territory — $12.6 million (opening weekend) 3. Nine Months — $12.5 million, gross $16.3 million 4. Species — $10.1 million, gross $34.4 million 5. Pocahontas — $8.1 million, gross $106.3 million 6. The Indian in the Cupboard — $7.7 million (opening weekend) 7.

Judge Dredd — $2.4 million, gross $29.2 million — Compiled by Marcel Meyer with Associated Press reports D oon esb ury g y c a r r y t r u d e a u ENTERTAINMENT f i l m Mafia terror haunts ‘La Scorta’ R O B A L E X A N D E R Daily Texan Staff Sidney Lumet is fascinated by the machines of justice. 12 Angry Men, The Verdict, etc. all explore how justice is manifested in different institutions. Now, he has brought the 1993 Italian film, La Scor­ ta, to an American audience. Set in Sicily, this story of honor in the face of overwhelming corruption should leave us all feel­ ing very lucky. The carabinieri are the state-assigned police whose formidable job is to protect prosecuting government magistrates from a debilitating and overwhelming mafioso. Angelo Mandolesi (Clau­ dio Amendola) is a carabiniere on assignment in Rome. Amendola faces the fury of his character Ange­ lo with an even hand. While at times his fear is almost tangible, Amendola is able to continually mix stoic courage with the anxiety of his position. Even though the pacing of the film is at times jar­ ring, Amendola keeps a smooth rhythm from within Angelo's posturing. Back in Angelo's home of Tripani, Sicily, a friend of his (also a bodyguard) is killed during the M afia's assassination of a judge. It seem s the judge w as getting too eager to prosecute during a Mafia-related investigation. Angelo immediately requests a transfer back to Tripani. In his quest to vindicate his friend's death, Angelo requests a position on the team protecting the new investigating prosecutor, Judge De Francesco (Carlo Cecchi). Andrea (Enrico Lo Verso) is the contemplative and compromising leader of this bodyguard unit. Lo Verso deftly balances the dual forces pushing his character. On one side, he is the patriarch of a FILM LA SCORTA Starring: Claudio Amendola, Enrico Lo Verso, Ricky Memphis, Carlo Cecchi Director: Ricky Tognazzi Playing at: H ogg Auditorium Rating: ★ ★★V fe (out of five) carabinieri group charged with protecting a very important figure. On the other side, he is a happily married man, and fears the inherent danger that this new assignment brings to his wife and kids. Even his children innocently chide him, asking, "Daddy, is your car gonna go boom ?" Angelo, on the other hand, requested the dan­ ger. The seemingly harm less acts of institutional­ ized corruption (informing higher authorities of De Francesco's actions) committed by Andrea brings on the wrath of the intensely ethical Ange­ lo, and the two find themselves at odds. But, when the absolute dedication of Angelo and the unfathom able integrity of Ju d ge De Francesco are witnessed by Andrea, he realizes his m isgivings and sacrifices everything he has for the preservation of justice. Judge De Francesco decides to pick up where the old investigation left off, but as soon as he begins asking questions, he is quickly cut off from any government support. It is up to his team of dedicated carabinieri to continue the investigative duties. Told through the eyes of these honorable pro­ tectors, La,Scorta is a story about men laying down their lives not only to protect a person but to pro­ tect an ideal. in Fighting the M afia its own spaw ning grounds is an exercise in futility. La vendetta is the Cosa N ostra's way of life. Their memories are unforgiving and their punishm ents are diabolical. And they take great offense at any person who suggests that they should ever be punished with­ in the normal confines of the law. The carabinieri operate in this atmosphere of absurdity. Their corrupt government does not care about them. In one sceiie, when there are not enough bullet-proof vests to go around, a simple coin toss decides life or death. The sense of duty and honor that pervades this tightly bound group seem s but of place in the cor­ rupt Sicilian culture. Yet the carabinieri continue to operate like their ancient predecessors, the Roman centurions. For example, Muzzi (Ricky Memphis), another member of the team, gets a transfer out of Sicily, but decides instead to stay. He solemnly states" "Dying is not my thing, but I don't have the guts to leave." To leave is to yield to an alternative worse than death — dishonor. The perennial Ennio Morricone (The Untouch­ ables; Cinema Paradisio; The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly) com poses a score that punctuates the omnipresent threat of the Mafia. Unlike Mafia movies that American audiences are conditioned to, La Scorta lets you feel the imminent danger, but you never actually see it. There is no climactic gunfight with Mafia thugs or even the remote sat­ isfaction of revenge. The. corruption continues as status quo, but the powerful story reveals som e­ thing about the possibilities of a human spirit that refuses to be corrupted. i t e s u n fans of Yo La Tengo were faced with the sam e dilem m a M orrisey fans face. Why rush out and buy the new LP if you've already heard it? Better to dig out Viva Hate and spend the extra 15 bucks on a new Jam es Dean biography. to trio Fortunately, Electr-O-Pura gives fans new reasons to come back into the fold. A s usual, the Hoboken, seem ingly m eanders N.J., through the songs, but this time it is with a stronger sense of structure. They have also lost much of their tendency them selves, repeat focusing each of the songs and par­ ing down the record to its essentials. The opening track, Decora, is an ambient swatch of drone reminis­ cent of recent Sonic Youth. The tune also demonstrates that Yo La Tengo has finally accepted the notion that a song does not need an experimental guitar solo halfway through to suc­ ceed. False Alarm starts off with the eerie backroads feel of Silver Jew s but quickly turns into a psychedelic hip- hop romp. It's a pretty fun song and shows that Yo La Tengo does have a sense of humor but, on second listen, you realize that Beck does this sort BICTR-0-PUfíA Artist: Yo La Tengo Label: M atador Rating: (out of five) For better or worse, Yo La Tengo has not strayed much from the gui­ tar-heavy fuzz of its early years. This static situation wasn't that bad, given the band's ability to craft catchy soun dscapes about denial and emotional desertion. However, after about 10 years, MEAN BUSINESS! ■ ■ 2 0WORDS 5 I H DAYS 471-5244 THE DAILY TEXAN dentials as indie rock heroes if they happen on to a hit song. They should take cues from both REM and Sonic Youth who followed the direction of their m usic regardless of criticism levelled at them by both c r itic s and fans. Yo La Tengo have it indeed, and display it on their album Electr-O-Pura of thing much better. However, in the context of this album the song works fairly well as a change of pace from the parade of guitars around it. The band gives clues to possible new directions in their m usic in Tom Courtenay. Probably the catchiest song the band has ever written, Tom Courtenay is a melancholy tale about the British actor and the mythology surrounding him. This song w as inevitable given the band's musical m astery and previous flirtations with pop, but that it has been so long coming is curious. Electr-O-Pura m arks a departure for Yo La Tengo. They have finally focused their music and combined their intuitive grasp of texture and m elody with increased structure. The result is a tight album full of bit­ ter moments and ironic revelations that linger long after the drone is over. Its just too bad. that it took so long to arrive. -Tony Kayser I hope Yo La Tengo members are not scared that they'll lose their ere- FLOPPY J o e ’s S o f t w ft re ? f o n £ 2 9 0 4 Guadalupe, Austin, TX 78705 477-9075 V l t N T C D The Secret of Roan Inish 2:30- 5:00-7:15- 9:35 Sh allow C r a v t U:45pm DCBIE 4/ Hl t* / Crossword Edited by Will Shortz ACROSS i Polly, perhaps 7 Boy s partner, out West 10 Relative of a foot-pound: Abbr. 13 Book after Solom on 14 Iffy weather guide 16 Bar food 1 8 Gam e of numbers 19 Huck Finn’s transport 20 Actor Beatty 21 Whichever 22 National Gallery of Art architect J23 Slack-jawed * feeling 25 Lamprey 28 More bar food 31 Tyler or Taylor, e.g. 33 Kind of ear 34 Monopoly card 35 Bunk 39 Duck's habitat 40 Mexican Mrs. 41 Brewery fixture 42 Reaction to a ghost letters rhyme 46 Auto financing 47 A pocketful, in 48 Old Mideast alliance Abbr. 49 Dance part? 52 Lout 54 British informer ^ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE 56 Lute feature 57 False display of sympathy 60 Refine 61 Emu or ostrich 62 Approximately 63 Ghent river 64 Anthem part DOWN 1 W ords preceding number or card 2 Pallid 3 Like London 4 C on m ucho dinero 5 Cork source 6 1994 Denis Leary movie 7 Fisherman's hook 8 Big name at Leonardo da Vinci Puzzle by Martin Schneider 9 K -0 bridge 10 Patch place 11 Contrary Mary and others 12 Hosts i s Ford replaced him 17 Lacking savoir- faire 22 Boxers, informally 24 Custom 26 Discharge 27C*FUN,0 28 Aristophanes drama, with “The” 29 80 s TV crime battlers, with “The" 30 Som e of them are crazy 31 Joyful cry 32 Speakers remuneration 36 Catch sight of 37 Kind 38 Cultivator 39 Nick Price’s org 43 At attention 44 Knitting stitch 45 California team 49 Noted business publisher 50 Budget alternative 51 Befuddled 53 Nosegay 55 Afflicts 56 Goat's milk product 57 Modern records 58 Source of Rockefeller wealth 59 Make lace Get answers to any three clues by touch-tone phone: 1-900-420- 5656 (75C each minute). 7 P M - m F M PROGRAMMING ON % 7 FM 24 H00R CABLE BROADCAST ON tí.5 CARLE CALL 47I-5I06 FOR MORE INFORMATION I es M m s C a fe - O pen Mon.-Sat. until 1:30 at night 24th & San Antonio V V nL L IG H T E R S i n c e n s e Nitrous W ID E SELEC TIO N O F W ATERPIPES . _ _ 5 0 4 W . 2 4 t h ^ ^ .
