Da ily T exa n Man found guilty in East Texas slaying b e s t a v a r a b u c w y The student newspaper of The University of Texas at Austin t m m m m M M W m w Wednesday, February 24,1999 Associated Press JASPER, Texas — A white suprema­ cist whose vengeful writings and racist tattoos were used to prove he despised blacks was convicted Tuesday of drain­ ing a man to a pickup and dragging him to his death in a crim e that shocked the nation. Courtroom spectators applauded and relatives of the victim wiped away tears as John William King was found guilty of capital murder in the June 7 slaying of black Jasper resident James Byrd Jr. The 11 white jurors and the black foreman began hear­ ing testimony in the punishm ent phase Tuesday afternoon to decide whether K ing should be given a life prison sentence or executed. King sat expressionless when the verdict was read. He leaned forward, apparently trying to shield himself with his attorneys from courtroom TV cameras. After the verdict was announced, he reclined in his chair, folded his hands and brought his forefingers to his lips. Jasper Sheriff Billy Rowles, one of the chief investigators, blew a kiss to the victim's family after the verdict was read. If sent to death row, the 24-year-old would become the first white person in Texas to be sentenced to lethal injection for killing a black person since the state resumed imposing the death penalty in the mid-1970s. Byrd's daughter, Renee Mullins, one of about a dozen family members who braved five days of graphic testimony, dabbed her nose and eyes with a tissue as she called the verdict "a breath of fresh air." Said his son, Ross Byrd: "All I know is that there's one down and two to go." King, a laborer, was the first of three white men to be tried for the slaying. The body of the 49-year-old Byrd was tom in two — his head and right arm severed from his torso — when he was pulled nearly three miles while tied bv his ankles with a 24-foot logging chain. K ing's attorney, Haden "Sonny" Cribbs, acknowledged that his client's prolific letter-writing to media and other inmates severely crippled his defense by providing insight to King's pro-Aryan beliefs. "It w as something that was very damaging, something that we couldn't overcome," Cribbs said. "That's why I kept telling all you it was going to get G U ILT Y /p a g e 2 UT may be big, but space isn’t XPf ' The UT shuttle buses provided 7.4 million rides along 13 shuttle routes last year.

Rffta Paul Daily Texan Staff H istory sophom ore Elizabeth Brown applied for UT housing late after deciding she would return to the University for her second year. Faced with limited space in the dorms and a I waiting list to get a room, Brown w as placed in supplem en­ tal housing in Jester before getting a room assignment. "The room w asn't bad, but I'd p re fe r to h av e a re g u la r d orm room ," Brown said. "I wish stu ­ d e n ts w o u ld n 't h av e to w orry about getting their dorm applications in so early because not everyone knows if they'll need to live on With the largest student body in the nation and a growing faculty and staff, UT housing and parking are difficult for students to obtain. Housing Woes Despite the promise of two new dorms to be com­ pleted by 2002, UT dormitories have more students than beds. Supplemental housing — including study lounges in Jester Center converted into four-person roorre or the bed spaces in the basem ent of Kinsolving — is filled at the beginning of each new semester. Although cam pus housing holds about 5,500 stu­ dents, the 150 supplemental spaces are a last resort to providing students a temporary place to live before moving into a permanent dorm room SPACE/Page 8 Candidates debate methods to better represent students to administration Student Government presidential candidates answer questions during a debate at the Texas Union patio on Tuesday.

Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, has proposed a bill establishing the T exas G atew ay to the Future Scholarship Program, which would provide grants to financially disad­ vantaged students who meet certain high school curriculum require­ ments. Cuellar said he developed the bill as a response to a finding by the Interim Com m ittee on H igher Education that college education is becoming increaringly expensive for Texas students. The bill has three main goals: to create a significant grant program for Texas high school graduates, to distribute information to high school students by establishing a center for financial aid and to create a more efficient financial aid system by con­ solidating or repealing existing pro­ grams, Cuellar said. Former Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, who led the interim committee study, said providing money for financial aid is a means of increasing ethnic and socioeconomic diversity in uni­ versities. "Even though T exas h as low tuition, we are still pricing people out of higher education," Hobby said.

They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. Ever since the revelation of the Nazi Holocaust, the world has had to wrestle with the question of what Hannah Arendt called the "banality of evil." How is it that ordinary peo­ ple, working unremarkable jobs as bureai crats, become involved in crimes against humanity, crimes that ver)' few people could imagine com­ mitting in person? And, once thev do, what action can they take? Denis Halliday, former assistant secretary-general of the United Nations and dijector of humanitarian relief in Iraq, points the way toward an answer of the latter question. A career UN employee, with 34 years in service, he resigned his post after only 13 months in Iraq, saying, "There can be no justification in my view for the death and malnutrition for which sanctions are responsible." Having gone to Iraq with the idea of helping to rebuild the country, he came to the conclusion that the UN Oil for Food program was there not fiahul Mahajan GUEST COLUMNIST to help anyone, but rather to be a "Band-Aid for a UN sanctions regime that was quite literally killing peo­ ple," and that he could serve those suffering and dying people best by resigning and publicizing the issue. Current figures, based on estimates by the UN and affiliated organiza­ tions, are that up to 1.5 million Iraqis have died, half of them children. Roughly 6,000 Iraqi children are dying every month, according to Halliday. The road to dissent is never an easy one to travel. It is all the more diffi­ cult when it involves dissenting from an organization to which you have given your entire life. A crucial point came for Halliday when he visited a hospital in Baghdad, finding four children with leukemia. There was insufficient medicine for them, so he tried to find medicine on the black market. Next, "I walked back into the hospital ... We went to the ward, we had picked up some presents for Christmas. We found that two of the children were already dead." He realized that he could offer no solu­ tions to the problems all around him. He had to speak out. Between quiet complicity in geno­ cide and sacrificing your life for the cause of human rights, there is a broad spectrum of possible actions. When we stop and tell ourselves that we are appalled by the evil that is being committed in our name, when we take the first step to inform and persuade others, we are also taking the first step toward reclaiming our own humanity. Make no mistake, we are all part of this killing machine that has bombed, burned, shot, and now starved an entire country, stunt­ ed an entire generation, slaughtering children who were not even bom when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. If someone whose ^entire career rested on upholding the status quo could take such decisive action, how much more should most of us, who will not suffer any consequences do? As always, the first step if you wish to do something about an issue is to get informed. Denis Halliday, and Phyllis Bennis, an expert on the Mid­ dle East, will give a talk titled Lines in the Sand, Lives in the Balance: Human Consequences o f War and Economic Sanctions in Iraq, on Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 7 p.m., in the LBJ Auditorium, which is near 26th and Red River streets.

T h e D aily T exan 4 W HM BM Y, FEBRUARY 24,1988 T h e Da i l y T e x a n Editorial Board Editor Michael Mulcahy Associate Editors Sholnn Freeman, Spencer Prou VIEWPOINT ‘The Vote’ One of the best things the U niversity has to offer is the activism and excitem ent of its m ore than 700 student organi­ zations. O ne of the w orst things this University has to offer is a useless and pow erless Student Governm ent. The politi­ cal garbage that SG candidates peddle to student groups on this cam pus is a joke. The T-shirts have been printed, the signs are up, the flyers are all over the ground and the candidates are w orking the annual speaking circuit. Election season causes candidates to develop a sudden interest in every conceivable cam pus orga­ nization. Their im portant "issu es" include prom oting West Cam pus safety to sorority houses, prom ising m oney to "lit­ tle" clubs and spouting an interest in diversity to anyone who will listen. C andidates are a clever bunch. They know that only a select group of U T students traditionally turn out to vote. Setting up a tim e to speak to these voters requires great skill and organization. M onday evenings are particularly tough; just about every sorority and fraternity has a meeting from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. It's just about im possible to w in an election without some of the G reek vote. G etting that vote is where the candidates' creativity begins and ends. Beyond w inning the election, candidates d on 't offer any­ thing m ore than what existing cam pus organizations could do. M ost candidates don't have any viable solution for increasing student pow er here. Their biggest problem is that they love the adm inistration and accept the current pow er structure that leaves students at the bottom . M any actually think SG can m ake a difference — their hearts are good, but they just d on 't get it. O ne p resid en tial candidate, second-year law stu dent Aaron Day, w ho w e've endorsed, understands that the cur­ rent SG structure isn't a solution to the problem. In fact, Day realizes that SG is part of the problem and that Student Gov­ ernm ent does m ore to m isrepresent students than it does to support them. H is platform advocates abolishing SG and lobbying for a student on the UT System Board of Regents, a position in w hich students could have real influence on cam ­ pus issues. W ith the exception of Day, no candidate has the foresight to see that a bully pulpit, in the place of real gov­ ernment, isn't enough. H ere's a m essage for the m em bers of the organizations who have had candidates speak before them ' and to those w ho plan to: If you w ant real student pow er on this cam pus, don't fall prey to the buzz-w ords in speeches and proposals. O f all the platform item s they propose, none addresses the core issue of S G 's lack of real power. Som e candidates say they will stand up to adm inistrators, but even if they did, w hat they say they'll do am ounts to little m ore than a bark with no threat of a bite. FIRING LINE No SG, no problem I want to thank Mr. Sanchez [Fir­ ing Line, Tuesday 1 for providing an opportunity for me to respond to his concerns. David, as well as many other students may be apprehensive about life without student govern­ ment. Fear not. I will shortly explain why the abolition of student gov­ ernment is a very positive action on behalf of students. Moreover, I do not fault Mr. Sanchez foi his concern about student services and repre­ sentation. I only regret his estrange­ ment from the truth. First, David commented that my platform is "the same old platform that gets dredged up every few years in order for a candidate to get some quick votes." I am confused. There have been similar attempts in the past to abolish student govern­ ment but those did not include the options which my platform pro­ vides. Still, I do not see evil in the efforts of my predecessors. Rather, I think their efforts show that this is • not a new problem and that we ^ should not let this opportunity to effectuate real change pass us by./ Moreover, I do not understand howl someone who runs on the platform to basically fire himself stands to gain anything from "quick votes." But, David you are right, it will only take a few seconds to abolish the SG — 30 seconds to pick up the phone to vote — and 30 seconds to set it down. 30/30. It's a one minute revo­ lution. Next, Mr. Sanchez argued that a student regent will not have any power, citing the behavior of the Men's Athletic counsel. This is easy. A student regent would have authority over the athletics council. The regents have final authority on almost everything involving UT. The student regent would not be ignored because they would have the attention of state-wide media, not just The Daily Texan or an occa­ sional brief in the Austin Amencan- Statesman. Think about it. How many times has Sttident Govern­ ment been mentioned in media out­ side The Texan? Not much. But the Regents make headlines everyday across this state. Furthermore, Mr. Sanchez argues that the Cabinet of College Councils could not take on the responsibility for appropriating funds to other organizations because they deal solely with academic issues. David, this is not a big responsibility we are talking about here. It is not logisti- cally difficult. Moreover, I trust more the motivations of those who work hard behind the scenes on behalf of students — the Cabinet institutionally has this character. Mr. Sanchez asks what will become of programs like SURE Walk. David, don't worry, every program like SURE walk, if it's a good one, can exist without Student Government. Students could and should continue to create organiza­ tions to address certain needs or problems. Every past student leader I have talked to will point to some pet project they did when they were in Student Government and claim that it proves SG's worth. Yet, a pile of pet projects has done nothing to truly advance widely held concerns of the students. Plus, every single one of these projects could have been accomplished outside of stu­ dent government. Look at the AROC When the administration thumbed their noses at a significant portion of the student body a non- SG group dealt with the situation in an affirmative and positive manner. David, I am trying to "actually fix" the state of student services at UT. The first step is the abolition of the student government. The next is the student7s demand that we get a student member on the Board of Regents. If anyone has any further questions please come by my West Mall table this Thursday. I am not trying to, as you say, "blind [die stu­ dents] with large claims that wall get low returns." My claims are large but with the support of the student body the returns will be even greater. Aaron Day, second-year law student and SG presidential candidate. Get Falkner's view I was one of the fewer than 20 stu­ dents who attended Tuesday's debates for SG President and Texan editor. I listened with interest as one of the presidential candidates, Aaron Day, explained his idea to abolish the SG and push for a stu­ dent seat on the UT Board of Regents. This proposal was very' dif­ ferent from the other tickets run­ ning, and I have one pressing ques­ tion: Is this feasible to think we can have a seat on the Board of Regents? If it is, than maybe people should elect Day and see what happens. It's obvious that the current system has major flaws. Having noticed that The Texan endorsed Day on Monday, I would like to see the paper press UT Presi­ dent Larry Faulkner on the issue. I believe this is a very important question students need answered before voting next week, and I would like to see our student newspaper find out where Faulkner stands. that If Faulkner is sincere in wanting more student involvement, he may be in favor of this proposal. If Day were to have Faulkner's support for his plan, it would go a long way towards motivating students to elect him. But if Faulkner denounces this idea, well, maybe Day isn't the best choice. So I want The Texan to get a straight answer from Faulkner before the elections. Do your job and push for the answers tnat students need. Travis Richmond Journalism freshman SG can do good The Viewpoint (Texan, Monday) encouraging the student body to vote for die abolition of the Student Government was both unnecessari­ ly glib and inaccurate. The author suggests that the SG has not, in prac­ tice, represented student interests. Indeed, the author argues that a stu­ dent regent proposal is more likely to pass if it is backed by a student body president whose sole platform urges students to vote away their electoral power. Ironically, a "stu­ dent regent" is nothing less than a student who is elected to represent the interests of the entire student body on the UT Board of Regents. Sound familiar? The Viewpoint ignores the fact that numerous stu­ dent services like the Rec Center and The Daily Texan were created by t\^e SG By contending that no SG> recent memory has used its of effectively, the author also ignores important projects like the Under­ graduate Research Fellowships, which has provided thousands of dollars in grants to students interest­ ed in performing academic research outside the classroom. By eliminating the SG, our Uni­ versity and System administrators will have the opportunity to run this campus unchecked. By democratic design, the SG carries a measure of credibility and persuasive strength other student organizations do not. Although every University organi­ zation serves an important function for its particular constituency, the SG is the only organization on this campus that includes every student as a direct voting constituent. Unlike other organizations that work to achieve many of the same goals, the SG alone is checked by virtue that it is beholden to the entire University. The SG's role is made all the more vital because the University of Texas is the largest public school in our System, state, and country. To encourage students to deprive themselves of unified representa­ tion is an responsible stance for an editor elected by the student body. The SG was abolished once before; it was brought back for one reason: it works. Jeffrey £.

Whether you are about to be mar­ ried, happily married or contem­ plating divorce, it is important to have a basic understanding of Texas marital property law. This basic knowledge is not only useful in avoiding a messy divorce, but also in understanding what property a third-party creditor can access to satisfy a debt. First of all, under Texas law there is no such thing as a legal separa­ tion. You're either married or you're not. Therefore, if you are married, whether or not you are liv­ ing together, the Texas community property system applies. This sys­ tem can be rather complicated and is full of exceptions that depend upon the circumstances, but the prindpal concepts are as follows. Generally, there are two types of property that a husband and wife own: community property and sep­ arate property. A spouse's separate property consists of: ■ 1. The property owned or claimed by the spouse before mar­ riage; and ■ 2. The property acquired by the spouse during marriage by gift, devise, or descent (in other words, by inheritance). In a divorce proceeding, the court is constitutionally prohibited from awarding one spouse any part of the other spouse's separate proper­ ty. It is important to note, however, that income earned on separate property during marriage is com­ munity property. Community property consists of the property, other than separate property, acquired by either spouse during marriage. Most importantly, this includes all income earned by the spouses during marriage. In a divorce proceeding, community property is divided by the court in a manner that the court deems "just and right." Thus, the community property may or may not be divid­ ed equally. In making its decision as Rachael M. Rolon ASK YOUR LAWYER to how to divide up the community property, the court is allowed to take into account many factors, such as the relative economic status of the spouses, disparity of ages, educational background, which spouse has been awarded custody of the children, and even which party was at fault in the breakup of the marriage. A married couple or a couple con­ templating marriage may "opt out" of the Texas community property system by entering into a premarital (prenuptial) or marital agreement. This agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. The spouses can agree that all or any part of their community property then existing or to be acquired in the future will be the respective spouse's separate property. For example, they can agree that each spouse's earnings will be that spouse's separate property. The spouses may also agree that income earned from each spouse's separate property shall be separate property.

In an effort to help these displaced stu d ents, the U T B racken rid ge, Roberts and Prather's University Resi­ dence Halls Associations are holding two forums this week to help students becom e acquainted w ith living off- campus. Tuesday's "Dealing with the grind" focused on tenant rights and dealing with roommate and landlord conflicts. "I'm m oving off-cam pus, so it's interesting to know all of the services available to me, so if problems do arise we can solve them on our own and we know where to go," said Sara Madole, an anthropology freshman. J. Raymond Schiflett, director of UT Legal Services For Students, told stu­ dents attending die forum that about one-third of the cases they see involve landlord/tenant conflicts — mainly lease and repair issues. Students should not break a lease if at all possible, Schiflett said, because they can be forced to pay the rent for the length of their contract. He also advises students to take pictures of the property when they move in so they can't be forced to pay for damages they didn't cause. Schiflett added that the landlord can be forced to make repairs that affect health or safety. Katherine Zilkha, assistant at die UT Conflict Resolution Center, told stu­ dents the center offers them an alterna­ tive to legal action, including media­ tion, consultation and team action plans. By working with two student counselors, Zilkha said roommates, landlords, tenants and neighbors can work out disputes. "We encourage students not to give up in a conflict, not to stop believing there can be a resolution and to give mediation k try," Zilkha said. Katie Prentice, a government junior, said she found the information useful. "It presents a wide view of things," Prentice said. "It's helpful when you are about to join the real world by moving off campus." Although only 10 students attended the forum, Basil Tilmon, president of the Prather URHA, said I » expected a low turnout because these meetings are a repeat of similar forums held last week. W ednesd ay's forum , "Step p in g out," will focus on apartment hunting. ‘Tex’ to bid seniors adieu Martin Haest Daily Texan Staff "Goodbye and good luck," may just be the last words graduating stu d en ts hear at th is y e a r's c o m m e n c e ­ m ent.

Livingston UT P resid ent L arry Faulkner, who chose the senior vice presi­ dent as this y ear's speaker, said Livingston was chosen because he is a fixture at the University. "Dr. Livingston is a very visible member of this campus," Faulkner said. "H e has played a major role in th e life of th e cam p u s as a teacher, the dean of graduate stu­ d en ts, and a sp o n so r for the advancement of the University." Livingston has held many posi­ tions in his 50 years of service at the U niversity, and although he d e-scribes h im s e lf as " q u a s i­ r e tir e d ," he o ften fills in for Faulkner. "I do everything I can think of for the U n iv ersity ," L ivingston said. Faulkner added that Livingston will likely surprise graduates writh his wit and warm know ledge of the University. Since the restru ctu rin g of the com m encem ent in 1995, gradua­ tion has become a popular event in the A u stin co m m u n ity . Last year, an estim ated 21,000 people attended the event. This year's commencement will take place May 22 on the South Mall. "It is a great tribute to someone who's given so much to this Uni­ v e rsity ," said S tu d en t G o v e rn ­ ment President Annie Holand. She said she is excited to know h e 'll be sp eak in g at th is y e a r's commencement. "It's very special; his was the first voice I heard when I came to cam pus and now he w ill be the last voice as I am le a v in g ," she said. Parks Steams, a graduating his­ tory senior, agreed with Holand. " I th in k it g iv e s m y co lle g e experience a bizarre symmetry — that the first voice representing the University will be also be the last," Stearns said.

U-Mass stops looking at race in admissions Sarah Gainer Daily Texan Staff W ith a ffirm a tiv e a ctio n ca ses pending across the country, the U ni­ versity of Massachusetts at Amherst followed suit last week by announc­ ing that race and ethnicity will no longer be weighed as significant fac­ tors in admissions. Since the 1970s, U-Mass has con­ sid e re d race in the a d m issio n s p ro c e ss, said Kay S c a n lin , the school's news director, adding that it p rim a rily a ffe cte d b o rd e rlin e applicants who may not have had top test scores. However, recent legal interpreta­ tio n s of a ffirm a tiv e a ctio n h av e caused the school to decide to take race and ethnicity out of considera­ tion in most cases. David K. Scott, chancellor of U- M ass, said w h ile the co lle g e has revised its policy to keep up with the ch ang in g legal clim ate, th eir com m itm ent to diversity is unw a­ vering. "T h e g oal re m a in s th e sa m e ," S cott said. "W e w ant to strive to recruit a freshm an class each year th at re fle c ts th e d iv e rsity o f the graduating seniors throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." Scott said U-M ass is looking for a lte r n a tiv e m eth o d s to p ro m o te diversity. He said minority enrollment is at a b o u t 19 p e rce n t, an d th at he expects this to drop to about 13 or 15 percent for a short-term period. "T h e m ost im portant long-term strategy is to identify those that are probably going to have difficulty [in college] and to get them on a path­ way to success, so that ... graduat­ ing seniors from the high schools naturally reflect the diversity of K- th r o u g h -1 2 ," S c o tt said. "A n d it doesn't right now. And it probably doesn't in Texas." B ru ce W a lk e r, U T d ire c to r of admissions, said his office is looking at w ays to reverse the effect of a drop in m inority enrollm ent since the 1996 Hop wood decision, which ended affirm ative action in Texas public schools. "W e're looking at a much broader range of admission factors now than we did prior to Hopwood," Walker said. "W e don't rely as heavily on test scores, though we still use them ... w e're very m uch in an exp eri­ mental stage since Hopwood." He added that Texas' reaction to Hopwood is important because col­ leges across the country look to the U n iv ersity to see how th in gs are working. "I think we have an obligation to lo o k for w ay s to h av e a d iv e rse class," W alker said. H e said w h ile it is d iffic u lt to s p e c u la te ab o u t w h en m in o rity enrollment will reach pre-Hopwood levels, he is hopeful it will be within the next few years with the help of the legislative appropriations. "T h e s e th in g s w ill ta k e tim e, there's no question about it," Walk­ er said. "I think within two to three years we're going to see our [minor­ ity] g ro u p s back to th e le v els of before Hopwood." S cott said the expected drop in minority enrollment at U-Mass will be challenging to reverse. "A nd that is a setback for us in terms of our goal," Scott said. "But we will just have to deal with short­ term set backs in order to craft or d ev elo p new s tra te g ie s that w ill bring us back to our overall goal.' A c co rd in g to a U -M a ss p ress re lea se, lo n g -term g o a ls in clu d e increasing scho larsh ip funds and developing an adm issions process that would w eigh SA T scores less heavily. P h illip D upre, p u b lic relatio n s d ire c to r, for th e UT U n iv e rsity Democrats, said affirmative action is still the best way to increase diversi­ ty in universities, but applauds U- M ass's goal of finding other ways to supplement the decline in diversity. "I think the University could take a lesson from U-M ass in trying to find ways to ensure diversity in the a b se n c e of a ffir m a tiv e a c tio n ," Dupre said. Brad M adden, ch airm an o f the Young Conservatives of Texas, said he thinks it is a good for U-Mass to consider candidates for their merit, rather than their race. "B asically, it's just a step in the right direction," Madden said. "And I hope they continue to deempha- size race and em phasize academics and a student's preparation for col­ lege."

T h e p ro g ra m should be ready frir action in sev­ eral weeks. Cameron Hall, Student Govern­ ment IMPACT presidential candi­ date and public relations officer for the Texas W ranglers, said he initially thought of creating West C a m p u s W a tch th r e e or fo u r weeks ago. " W e 'd seen a h u g e p ro b lem w ith crim e and p e o p le b e in g in tim id a te d w h ile th e y w alk down the Drag," Hall said. "Right now we have enough manpower to do it fo r th r e e n ig h ts [p er week], starting off." Patrol members will wear iden­ tical T-shirts and carry flashlights and ra d io s. T he ra d io s w ill be u sed to re la y m e ssa g e s to the A ustin Police D epartm ent when patrol members become aware of a possible crime situation. H all said that he has su pport from abou t 50 Texas W ranglers and more than 30 IMPACT mem­ bers to assist with W est Cam pus Watch. "W e 're about halfw ay th e re," said Hall, noting that local busi­ n e s s e s and in d iv id u a ls h av e pledged a total of about $280. T.J. Vineyard, district represen­ ta tiv e fo r th e A P D , in d ic a te d interest in the program and said the police will probably agree to p ro v id e tr a in in g and o th e r resources. "D iso rd er, fear and crim e are all in te rlin k e d ," V ineyard said. He added that red u cing fear in the community is a key concern of the police departm ent. "Ju st the crime rate dropping doesn't mean w e've done our job." The U n iv ersity Area P artners plans to assist Hall in obtaining additional funds and supplies. " I t 's a w o rth w h ile p ro g ram ," said M ik e M cH o n e , U A P v ice p re sid e n t. "W e 'd like to fig u re out w hat we can do." M cH one added that solicitin g neighborhood organizations and bu sinesses w ill be a key part of aid to West Campus Watch. A lthough Sure W alk provides stu d en ts w ith la te -n ig h t w alk s home, Hall said that W est C am ­ pus Warch will be more beneficial because of its m obility and pro­ active crime prevention angle. " S u r e W alk is lim ite d in its scope," Hall said.

Atisha Patel, education director for the S G -sp o n so red Stu d en ts United for Rape Elimination, said the p ro g ra m w o u ld need to become an official UT program to en su re its fe a s ib ility . Sh e also exp ressed other co n cern s about the program. "A ssau lts are probably just as likely to occur on North Campus or on cam pus," said Patel, adding that volunteers would not be safe w ith ou t p o lice esco rts and that the escorts would need to patrol all night in order to be effective. " T h e W est C a m p u s a s s a u lts occurred very early in the m orn­ ing," said Patel. S ila s G rig g s , a s s is ta n t c h ie f director of UTPD, said he'd like to know more about the program. "T h e re are m an y th in g s th at stu d e n ts v o lu n te e rs can do to help with the fear of crim e," G rig­ gs said. "Reducing fear of crime is an important aspect of communi­ ty wellness." H ow ever, he add ed th at ran ­ dom patrolling produces random results.

"I think it's a pretty cool idea as long as [the volunteers] are safe," R o se sa id . " I t m a k es me feel safer." Legislation could save drivers money based Progressive County Mutual Insurance Co. is a good example of an insurer that can be flexible in reducing premiums for individuals. "U nder today's current archaic regulatory system, most Texans are denied the benefits of innovative price competition because all rate- regulated companies must use the same rating classifications," said W illiam H. G raves, presid ent of Progressive. "We think all insurers should be allowed to use their own rates and rating classification sys­ tems as county mutuals." He said that the Texas Auto Manu­ al ineptly categorizes a 25-year-old male college student the same as a 55-year-old man and does not take speeding tickets into consideration. Graves added that Progressive's experience with almost 50,000 Tex­ ans showed savings of more than $500 yearly per policyholder com­ pared to those rates available from rating-regulated and broadly cate­ gorized companies. "W e have been able to provide su bstan tial savings to m otorists because we utilize more classifica­ tions to categorize groups of con­ sumers into a wider range of risk categ o ries," G raves said. "Thus, many drivers enjoy substantial sav­ ings and are not forced to subsidize drivers with higher claim costs." In every state except Texas, insur­ ers use their own independent rat­ ings, class plans and rating rules, Graves added. Graves and Wentworth said Illi­ nois is an excellent exam ple of a leading unregulated state. Insured drivers there experience rates well below the national average. "I don't know why we shouldn't have the same success as Illinois and other states," said Wentworth. Wentworth added that demolish­ ing the Texas Department of Insur­ ance is not a goal of the bill. "We want to make sure insurers are protected and safe," he said. Dutton emphasized that the bills focus on rating and rates only, and that the TDI would continue to con­ trol financial solven cy, co n tract forms and market practices. He added that greater rate flexi­ bility would make auto insurance a new reality for some Texans, such as th o se in "u n d e r-se rv e d " zip codes. He cited Progressive as an exam­ ple of this benefit as the company represents 34 percent of Texans in these areas. Wentworth said he will seek an early hearing on the Senate bill.

Bill would make juvenile data public Markus Beeby Daily Texan Staff The Texas Senate will review a bill next week that would make information about minors who run from the law available to the public. Authored by Texas Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., D-Brownsville, the bill is intended to help the authorities obtain information about juvenile violent felony suspects in the same manner as they would adults. Current Texas law prohibits such infor­ mation from being made public. Once an arrest warrant is issued, the public would be able to obtain limited information from the Texas Department of Public Safety, including the suspect's nam e, description, photograph and alleged offense. "This bill accomplishes two things," said Mindy McCracken, general counsel for Sen. Lucio. "It helps law enforcement find suspects and it protects the public." The bill, approved unanimously last w eek by the Senate Crim inal Justice Committee, would only deal with vio­ lent felony suspects. The push to change the law originat­ ed from a trip le h o m icid e case in Brownsville involving a 15-year-old sus­ pect, Sen. Lucio said. "H e fled to H ouston and we had problems tracking h im " said Detective Sam Lucio o f the Brow nsville Police Department, who is also Sen. Lucio's first cousin. "He's been seen around the neighbor­ hood a couple times, but people in his own neighborhood don't know because we can't release that information," he added. Detective Lucio, who testified before the committee, said the law is overdue for change. "There's someone w ho's murdered three people and we can't find him," he said. "If those crimes are serious enough for them to be tried as adults, then the public should know about it and help us find them." Sen. Lucio said the bill would allow the media to help police find dangerous criminals. "I would hope that the media would inform the general public about the vio­ lent crimes in our state," he said. With the passage of his bill in com­ m ittee last week, the senator said he expected it to pass easily on the Senate floor. "W e should protect the privacy of our youth," Sen. Lucio said. "But when a juvenile commits a violent crime, the safety of the public outweighs that pri­ vacy. Jess Jarkowski Daily Texan Staff A pair of identical bills filed in the Legislature could save Texas drivers approximately $500 million in auto-insurance expenses. Rep. Harold Dutton, D-Houston, and Sen. Jeff W en tw orth, R-San Antonio, held a meeting Tuesday at the C ap itol to pro m o te the bill, w hich they co llabo rated on and filed separately in both the House and Senate. Wentworth said Senate Bill 600 would bring open-market competi­ tion to the auto insurance industry, elim inating the outdated existing regulatory standards. "U nd er current law, our Texas Department of Insurance uses The Texas 'Auto M anual, w hich lumps d riv e rs in to a few b ro ad c a te ­ g o ries," W entw orth said. "T h is m eans that good drivers tend to pay too m uch and d riv ers writh poor records tend to pay too lit­ tle."

Meeting people is more difficult, and I don’t really know what events are going on around campus most of the time.” Rita Paul Daily Texan Staff ni» earn to UT attar H istory sophomore Elizabeth Brown applied for UT housing late after deciding she would return to the U n iv ersity for h er second year. Faced w ith lim ited space in the dorm s and a w aiting list to get a room, Brown was placed in supplemental hous­ ing in Jester before getting a room assign­ ment. "The room wasn't bad, but I'd prefer to have a regular dorm room ," Brown said. "I wish students wouldn't have to worry about getting their dorm applications in so e a rly b e c a u se not e v e ry o n e k no w s if they'll need to live on campus or not." W ith the largest stud ent body in the nation and a growing faculty and staff, UT housing and parking are difficult for stu­ dents to obtain. Housing Woes Despite the promise of two new dorms to be completed by 2002, UT dormitories have more students than beds. S u p p lem e n ta l h o u sin g — in clu d in g study lounges in Jester Center converted into four-person rooms or the bed spaces in the basement of Kinsolving — is filled at the beginning of each new semester. Although campus housing holds about 5 ,5 0 0 stu d e n ts, th e 150 su p p le m e n ta l spaces are a last resort to providing stu­ d en ts a tem porary place to live before moving into a permanent dorm room. Housing officials said a growing student body has created a demand for housing that the dorms cannot provide at this time. "U T's been expanding since it opened. It creates a greater demand for housing," said Sheila Ochner, assistant director for administrative services for the Division of Housing and Food Service. "It's just been growing so consistently." During the fall, Ochner said 9,000 new housing applications and 2,500 renewals were filed. With only 5,500 spaces to offer, m any students find that they cannot get housing.

D ev in s w as put on a w a itin g lis t for dorms, but cou ld n't get housing by the time he needed it. "I kept waiting and waiting to hear if I could live on campus, but I was getting w orried," Devins said. Instead, Devins found an apartment in Austin and has spent his first year living off-campus. "It's not too bad, but it would have been nice to have the dorm experience," Devins said. "Meeting people is more difficult, and and was forced to Uve oft i I don't really know what events are going on around campus most of the time." O ch ner said the hou sing ap p lication pool has rem ained steady over the past five years, with the exception of a 2,000 request increase in 19%. " I t w as u n u su a l to see th a t h ig h a jump," Ochner said. W'ith the administration's desire to give all incoming freshmen the option to live on cam pus, re tu rn in g stu d en ts had to enter a lottery7 this year. Ochner said 2,701 a p p lic a tio n s w ere e n te re d and 1,583 sp a c e s w ere o ffered to re tu rn in g and transfer students. Ochner added even if all freshmen are given the option to live on cam pus, not all will. "W 'hen [the a d m in istra tio n says] all freshmen on campus, I think they should say all freshmen who want to live on cam­ pus," Ochner said. "T hat's about 70 per­ cent. W'e will be able to do that when we finish our new dorms." But the University is not the only large school that faces housing problems. The University of California at Berkeley houses about 5,000 of the 30,290 students who attend the school, said Becky White, assistant director of community living. Although Berkeley guarantees housing for all new fall freshmen and transfers, the demand for on-campus housing is great. White said Berkeley uses a lottery system to assign students rooms, and not all return­ ing students receive campus housing. "T his year, we offered 900 continuing students spaces," W hite said. "But about 2500 applied." Two new dorm s are in the w orks for Berkeley, but White said no definite plans have been made. But not all large universities are in such d ire s tr a ig h ts as th e U n iv e r s ity and Berkeley. T h e U n iv e rsity o f M ich ig a n at A nn Arbor can house about 10,500 students of the 37,197 students that attend the school, said A kom ea P o k u -K a n k a n , a c le rica l assistant at the residence hall office.

By nature, Rashundn Johnson is a pretty Longhorns seek revenge for 19-point January loss to Baylor On the floor, Texas' soft-spoken, 6-4 cen­ ter hardly ever raises her voice or lets her emotions get the better of her. In media interviews, the Longhorn freshman answers questions candidly, but isn't prone to long bouts of banter. . But if you want to get Johnson riled up, just ask her about the events of Jan. 13. That's when she returned to her home­ town of Waco for a game against Baylor, only to watch her team unravel in a 19-point loss that has preyed on the back of her mind ever since. "That was em barrassing to play that badly," said an indignant Johnson, who is afforded a payback game when the Bears visit the Erwin Center on Wednesday.

With a victory, Texas (15-9 overall, 9-5 Big 12) could clinch fourth-place in the confer­ ence and receive an automatic first-round bye in next month's league tournament. The Longhorns, a team on the bubble for NCAA tournament consideration, could also pad their record and a four-game win­ ning streak, building momentum for the postseason. There's a fine line between focusing on how important this game is and overstating it, Conradt said. "The season isn't over regardless of the outcome, but it is an opportunity for us to continue our momen­ tum." To do that, the Horns will have to over­ come their January trip to Waco, the one that has many in Austin aching for revenge.

The former heavyweight cham­ pion will have to defend himself against allegations he threw a television set last Friday, after he became angry that a guard hung up a telephone he was using. Tyson lawyer Paul Kemp said the boxer had become depressed, in part because a psychiatrist hired by the jail had taken him off an antidepressant drug that he had been taking for four months» Corrections officials have since allowed him to resume taking the medication, Kemp said Tuesday. Tyson doesn't have the right to a lawyer during the dosed-door administrative hearing before a member of the jail's treatment staff and a guard supervisor, said Eric Seleznow, a spokesman for the Montgomery County Depart­ ment of Corrections and Rehabil­ itation. His only recourse would be to ask another inmate or member of the jail's staff to represent him and "m ost people don't do that," Seleznow said.

Ryan Brow n/D AILY TEXAN STAFF Whew! Dunn’s heroics help UT avoid 3rd-straight Tuesday meltdown Robby Nisenfeld Daily Texan Staff When Texas entered the top of the fourth inning holding a 9-3 lead against Southwest Texas, the Long­ horns must have remembered it was Tuesday. Texas gave up seven runs over the next four innings to squander a lead, just as it had done the previous two Tuesdays against UT-San Antonio and Houston, when they lost both games in extra innings. Then Jeff Ontiveros and Scott Dunn apparently caught a case of amnesia. Ontiveros' home run in the sev­ enth, along with Dunn's dominating pitching performance in the con­ test's final two innings, led the No. 3 Longhorns to an 11-10 victory at Disch-Falk Field and ended the Tuesday hex. "It must be Tuesday," Texas head coach Augie Garrido said following the Horns' most recent collapse dur­ ing the middle innings of a mid­ week game. "It looked like a Tues­ day game to me." Just as it had done the prior two weeks, winning respective series against Southern California and Louisiana State, Texas (11-3) entered the game with SWT (4-9) coming off a weekend sweep of Missouri. For the first time all year, howev­ er, Garrido said the Horns were lackadaisical following a successful weekend. "We were giving them four outs T E X A S BAS instead of three," Garrido said of a Longhorn team that looked sloppy on defense, committing two errors and allowing balls to go through the them infield. bases, and a little of the edge was off for us." "We w e're giving "The other two Tuesdays, I really didn't sense a letdown or that the players were distracted," he added "But I did see that today I think that was a major part of the lack of con­ centration on the part of the play­ ers." The Bobcats rally began with two outs in the fourth, when Texas third baseman Chris Houser was unable to handle a ball hit by Bobcat catch­ er Chris Seaman. Texas starter Ryan France then gave up three straight doubles, which scored three and cut a six-run Longhorns lead in half. After Southwest added three more runs in the fifth to tie the game at nine, the Bobcats took the lead off first baseman John Tompkins double to left field that plated pinch hitter Mark Villarreal, who had reached base two batters earlier on a single. Unfortunately for the Bobcats, their one-run cushion lasted all of about five minutes.

Alan Pouner/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Ranking in hand, Horns ready for stretch run Mike Wilson Daily Texan Staff With the regular season winding down, the eyes of almost every Orangeblood is steadily falling upon the UT men's basketball team and its quest to earn its first-ever league title. Except, that is, for the eyes of the man at the helm of this late-season surge. In his first year as head coach of the Longhorns, Rick Barnes made no secret after last Saturday's 63-54 win over Texas A&M of his relatively uninformed disposition towards the Big 12 race. For it's not where his team finish­ es that concerns Barnes — it's how well they play. "I'll be honest with you. I really TEXAS M E N ' S B A S K E T B A L L No. 22 TEXAS @ BAYLOH k m z Wednesday, 7 p.m.______ 81 W h f t : Waco (Ferrell Centerf ■ Records: Texas (17-10 overall, 12- 2 Big m Baylor (6-21,0-14) ■ Radio: KVET 98.1 FM ■ TV: KVC13 don't keep up with those things," Barnes said after his team clinched at least a share of the Big 12 regular season crown against the Aggies. "These guys know what they are chasing. The only thing I am con­ cerned about is getting better." But don't think for a second, howev­ er that Barnes doesn't have his team exactly where he wants it. The victory in College Station catapulted the Horns to a No. 22 ranking in the Associated Press poll, making them the only Big 12 squad with a national ranking. And wins in 14 of their last 16 games has the red-hot Longhorns primed for their first trip to the NCAA tournament since 1997. Now Texas' horrific 2-7 start is becoming just a distant memory. "We're a long way from Dec. 18," Barnes said. "It was at that point in time we really decided that we had to become a team." With a two-game lead over second place Oklahoma with two games left in the regular season, the Horns need only one win to earn the league title outright. The team's first chance to do so will come Wednesday night in Waco when the Horns take on Baylor. The hapless Bears have yet to win a con­ ference game, including seven losses at the Ferrell Center. But don't expect to catch the Longhorns looking past Baylor to Saturday's home finale against Mis­ souri. "We approach every game like it's our last," forward Gabe Muoneke said. "Each game is huge and we need to win all of them." While the Bears may come into the game with a 6-21 record, Texas has been unable to steal a win from Waco the past two years. But this time around, the Longhorns and the Bears have been moving in polar opposite directions. The Horns are riding a three-game winning streak, while the Bears have through 14 consecutive suffered losses. "Texas has lost two years in a row because Baylor always come to play," Barnes said. "They are the type of team that if you let them get going, they can easily beat you. We just have to be ready to play. it's a is not a sprint, marathon. You have to keep your guys on an even keel. We can't be happy right now. We have more work to do."

"It was like Disney World out there for me," Mobley said. "I love one-on- one and I love transition ball. Coach had confidence in me and so did my teammates." The SuperSonics, who started the season 5-0, have lost three of their last "W e're trying to find things we can hang our hats o n ," Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich said.

If the season started Tuesday, none of the three players who started in the Longhorns' Cotton Bowl victory would be in the same spot. by replaced Middle linebacker Dusty Ren­ fro ran out of eligibility, and will be sophom ore D e'A ndre Lewis, who slides over from the weakside. Taking Lewis' vacated spot should be sopho­ m ore M arcus W ilkins, who played sparingly last year. New to the first team would be Tyrone jones, a 6-4, 205-pound former defensive back who is slated to play on the strongside. A aron B abin o , w ho started the last tw o gam es of last sea­ son at outside lin ebacker after A nthony Hicks sev erely blew out his knee, w ill m iss spring d rills due to acad em ic in e lig i­ bility. H icks is still recu perating reconstru ctive from off-season knee surgery. But it has been Lewis, who recorded 74 tackles as a redshirt freshman a season ago, who has caught the eye of coaches through two days this spring. "D.D.' s so much more mature now," head coach Mack Brown said. "H e knows so much more about playing linebacker than he did last year." Still, defensive coordinator Carl Reese said he'd like to take a look at Hicks at the middle spot, when the senior-to-be returns to action in summer camp. "I was kind of joking with him, telling him I wanted to see him out here next week," Reese said. "We need someone to be solid in the middle, and Anthony can do it." Hey, if it worked for Ron McKelvey... ■ One of the key concerns for Brown's offense this spring will be the offensive line, but earlier this week he almost got an unexpected recruit. Supposedly, the L o n g h o rn s lost four starters in the trenches to expired eligibility, including a ll-co n feren ce Ben A dam s. Brown, how ever, was still startled to sbe the 6-5, 315- pound pro prospect's name still present in the team 's updated media guide. guard "I noticed Ben Adams was still listed as a guard," said Brown, who currently lists Leonard Davis, Antwan Kirk-Huges, Marcel Blan­ chard, Mike Williams and return­ ing regular Roger Roesler as his starting five up front. "I hoped that was true." The numbers game ■ If y o u 're h eading ou t to L o ng h orn p ractices at Frank Denius Fields this month and d on't have a copy of the new and im proved Texas roster, here are the notable numbers you need to know: Sophomore linebacker Everick Rawls, form erly No. 42, has switched to No. 2, which is also currently being worn by freshman wide receiver Montrell Flowers. Sophomore comerback Ervis Hill, who should challenge for a start­ ing job opposite junior Joe Walker, has traded,.his old No. 5 for the sleeker No. 1. Three impact players new to the Horns for various reasons also have picked up their uniform numbers. Adam McConathy, a mid-season 1998 transfer from Louisiana State who should make immediate waves at linebacker, wears No. 58. Cole Pittman, a freshman end who enrolled at the University this spring and counts towards last year's recruiting class, has donned the No. 44 jersey, which is filled as usual on offense bv senior fullback Ricky Brown. And kick­ e r/ punter prospect Shane Hud- nall, who also enrolled in the spring, has picked up No. 14.

A S S O C IA T E D P R E S S NCAA wins in sex-bias lawsuit Associated Press WASHINGTON — The NCAA scored a welcome legal victory Tues­ day when the Supreme Court ruled the organization is not subject to a federal sex-bias law just because it collects dues from federally financed colleges and universities. But the justices' unanimous deci­ sion left open the possibility the gov­ erning body for college sports may for other reasons be covered by the law known as Title IX of the Educa­ tion Acts of 1972. Renee Smith, an Ohio woman who says she was illegally declared ineligi­ ble to play college volleyball, had argued the NCAA could be sued under the law because the dues it receives from member schools make it an indirect recipient of federal funds. NCAA president Cedric Dempsey was confident lower courts wiíl reject Smith's other arguments for allowing her suit to go forward. "We have consistently said that the NCAA should be in compliance with Title IX on a voluntary basis and have worked to achieve compli­ ance," Dempsey said. The ruling represented a new turn for the NCAA, which last year agreed to pay $2.5 million to settle a long-run­ ning suit brought by basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian. The NCAA had been reeling from a ruling last May that it the acted unlawfully salaries of entry-level coaches. in capping Also, the NCAA reached an agree­ ment with the Justice Department last year to allow students with learning disabilities to receive athlet­ ic scholarships. On Tuesday, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the court, "A t most, the association's receipt of dues demonstrates that it indirectly benefits from the federal assistance afforded its members." "This showing, without more, is insufficient to trigger Title IX cover­ age," Ginsburg said. The law bars sex discrimination in educational programs receiving fed­ eral financial aid. Ginsburg noted that similar wording is used in other laws banning discrimination in fed­ erally funded programs based on race, age or disability. Most of the NCAA's 1,200 schools receive federal funds and therefore are covered by Title IX. The NCAA's lawyers said during arguments in January the association itself was not a federal aid recipient and that ath­ letes should take up discrimination com plaints with individual schools. the R o cke ts Continued from page 9 those shots went in. I'm trying to feel out the point guard spot, when to shoot, when to pass and when to penetrate. I came in as a No. 2 guard." Seattle fell behind 54-46 at the half and didn't lead until Gary Payton led a 16-4 charge to start the third quarter for a 62-60 lead. Payton had 10 points in the run. Then the Rockets made a 13-0 run that spilled over into the fourth quarter and they led 73-62 with 10:05 left. "W e pretty much had the game under control," O lajuw on said. "W hen they made a run I was con­ cerned, but I never thought the game was in doubt." With the Rockets leading 76-69, Mobley started his run of nine straight Rockets points that gave the Rockets an 85-74 lead with 4:50 to play. Payton led the SuperSonics with 26 points and D etlef Schrem pf added 20. Othella Harrington added 17 points for the Rockets. "I'm disappointed.

"In the past I didn't really appre­ ciate when I received an aw ard," Cunningham said during a midday press conference. "I was young and immature and took it for granted.* But this is a great honor. I've grown and now have the maturity to accept it and know what it's all about." Cunningham, 35, who previously won the Bert Bell in 1988 and 1990, joined Baltimore Colts quarterback Johnny Uni tas as the only three-time winners of the award. He said return­ ing to Philadelphia, where he spent his first 11 seasons, made it special. Among the other award winners cited by the Maxwell Club were Texas A&M linebacker Dat Nguyen, who won the Chuck Bednarik Award as defensive player of the year; Tennessee's PHil Fullmer, who guided the Vols to a perfect season; and the national championship and was named George Munger college coach of the year; and Dennis Green, named Greasy Neale professional coach of the year after leading Cun­ ningham and the Vikings to the NFL's best record.

Following are some insider" insights about how to land your dream internship in some of today's fast-forward industries like media, entertainment, fashion and high-tech, that likely don’t recruit on campus. WHAT TURNS YOU ON? Not the typical first question you might think of when plotting your first career experience, but you really should think about it. The best places to work are often the places that make or do things that already interest you. And who wrote the rule that work shouldn’t be fun? It helps to start by thinking about which classroom topics interest you the most and what hobbies get you excited." says Samer Hamadeh. President of Vaultreports.com and the co-author of "America's Top Internships" and "The Internship Bible." two of the most useful books on the subject. Take his advice and ask yourself some questions. Do you spend a lot of time listening to music and going to concerts? Maybe you should check out working for a local radio station, a record label or a music publishing company. Are you a devoted athlete? Try contacting a fun sporting goods company, a fitness magazine, or a sports talent agency. CREATE YOUR OWN JOB After you’ve asked yourself what you like, and thought of some of your favorite products and activities, you may find that many of your choices lead to smaller or less structured companies that likely don’t recruit on campus, or that don’t have a formal internship program. Don’t get discouraged!! In fact, think of it as a huge opportunity because you can potentially create your own job! There’s nothing wrong with calling or writing a company out of the blue and letting them know who you are and what you’re interested in. Many of the smaller companies will be thrilied to have been approached and more than likely can use the extra hands for the summer. One of Hamadeh’s favorite stories is about a college student who was interested in sports law. The guy figured that Michael Jordan’s lawyer must be pretty good at it. so he read a bunch of newspaper articles until he found the guy’s name, then he wrote him a letter explaining why he wanted to work for him.

So he brought him in for an interview and was so impressed that he hired him for the summer.” SELL YOUR SELF, NOT YOUR NUMBERS Just because you may not graduate cum laude doesn't mean you won’t qualify for some of the most selective internship programs. ’You have to make yourself sound interesting." says Price Hicks, who hooks students up with summer jobs at places like Warner Brothers as part of her work with the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

SCIENTISTS CAN BE JOURNALISTS Remember that the purpose of an internship is to gain experience. The idea is to "test drive" career options that you think might interest you for your future. And what interests you for a career may have nothing to do with what interests you in school (How many psych majors actually become psychologists? How many history majors become historians? You ger the point.). You never really know what someone might be looking for. so don’t feel intimidated by internships that aren't directly in your field of study. Case in point, a biology major beat out a slew of journalism majors for one of three highly coveted internships at the Center for Investigative Reporting. Out of approximately 90 applicants, she was among those with the least direct experience. "It just so happened we were working on a project about chemicals in the environment, so her skills came in handy and she ended up playing a big role in the reporting." said Maryann Sargent, who is the internship coordinator at the Center. REMEMBER THAT SMALL CAN BE BIG Sometimes, you really may be better off going to work for a company where the dunes of an intern aren’t well defined In small but super fast-growing internet companies, for instance, th W s always a lot going on. so interns can often show up on day /ne and pick the things that interest them the most. "Our interns v£ll always be working on several different projects." says Jeff Daniel, who runs a cool new service called CollegeHire.com that helps match up undergrads with high-tech and internet-related internships and entry-level jobs.

'Strong Enough for a Man But Made for a Woman' \ Page 12 Wednesday, February 2 4 ,1 9 9 9 T h e Da ily T exa n Editor/TSP Board candidate platforms I quickly became in t e r r e d in cam­ pus activities'and organizations. My friends tell me that not only do I get ‘ involved when I join an organization, but I take them along with me. As a member of the TSP Board I plan to get the stu d en ts at UT involved with student publications by seeking their opinions on issues the TSP Board is dealing with and keeping my ears open for answers to TST questions only a student can pro­ vide. The most important task for the TSP Board is making sure students are heard and making sure publica­ tions cover all angles of the story. The TSP Board makes decisions determining the policies and proce­ dures of all student publications. If student publications don't represent student opinions, they don't serve their mam ourpose; to cater to the students. I want to make sure that this purpose rem ains fresh in the minds of the TSP Board, TSP staff and also in the minds of every stu­ dent. Without the students TSP would just be Texas Publications. Students bridge the gap betweerf the Universi­ ty and the news world. The students are at the heart of this matter, where they belong. I want to be in the TSP Board meetings to make sure of this. I have a lot of leadership experi­ ence from the organizations I belong to and the leadership positions I have held. I have sewed as social chairman of my sorority and public relations for and p u blicity co -ch airm an emPower. I am a member of Neigh­ borhood Longhorns, P.R.S.S.A and a volunteer in the community. I have the experience it takes and I only want more, but this is really about you and what I want to do for you. Thanks for taking the time to lis­ ten to me. I hope I can do the same for you and share what I learn from you with the TSP Board in the near future! At-Large Place 2 Russell Bodnyk III earnest effort and aim to inspire, media do not transmit or transform. So with this constitution, accuracy and honesty, these accounts ought * to p ro m p t ev e ry m em ber o f the public to respond with commensu­ rate enthusiasm: publications revise us, and we with vigor revise them. We are all audience and editors of these p u b lic p lace s; p ro d u ctio n s that fail to take this into considera­ tion fail altogether. Student publi­ cations have the capacity and oblig­ ation at every m om ent to enlarge our lives into the events that su r­ round us; asserting that concerns around campus have been recently rather routine and tam e in crim i­ nates our m edia and own u nd er­ standing of the world in which we live. There simply should never be a dull or indifferent moment. The T SP B o a rd o f O p e ra tin g Trustees determ ines expenditures and adm inistrative policy for uni­ versity radio, television, yearbooks and newspaper, and as a member, I t will hold these media accountable for their presentation according to these standards of effectiveness. At-Large Place 2 Natasha Solee What do The Daily Texan, KVRX, KVR9 and the Cactus Yearbook have in common? They are all managed by the TSP Board, a panel of six stu­ dents, three pro­ fessors and two professionals. and Natasha Solee Board candidate I am Natasha Solee, I would like to be one of the 6 stu­ dents represent­ ing the student body on the TSP Board. UT created the Board to facilitate the hiring of edi­ tors and station managers, to allocate and balance the $3 million dollar bud­ get, to resolve management and stu­ dent issues, and to support the mem­ bers of Texas Student Publications. I will be able to complement the Board's activities because L am a good judge of character, I am experienced with budgets, I have advanced prob­ lem-solving skills, and I am dedicated to serving the needs of the student body's media goals. These skills and interests were engendered through my leadership activities as an Orange Jacket, as a m em ber of the Texas Revue Fundraising Committee, as co­ president of El Club de Palomitas, as * Plan II Student Association's secretary and as the creator of the encrypted quote "Say What?" in The Daily Texan. For two years, I will personally guarantee that the TSP Board hires editors *and station managers that reflect UT's diverse talents, interests and viewpoints. I will encourage the TSP Board to take a greater interest in the day to day operations of the stu­ dent media. Also, 1 will ensure that students are kept up to date on the new and exciting developments of Texas Student Publications. If it Ls important to you that KVR9's show Campus Loop just went national, and that UT students have free access to m edia equipm ent, then vote Natasha Solee for TSP Board Student Member At-Large, Position #2. At-Large Place 3 George Castillo W hen stud ents register for the semester, they pay tuition and fees to obtain their education at the Universi­ ty. O ne o f the m ain fees stu ­ dents pay is the Student Services fee, which funds the Student Gov­ the ernm ent, D ivision of R e c r e a t i o n a l Sports and other program s that students can take part in. However, there is one service that takes a good portion of the over five million dollars that is collected, and that service is the Texas Student Publications. The TSP is responsible for The Daily Texan, KVRX radio, Cactus Yearbook and KVR stu­ dent television. The TSP is run by a Board of Trustees which acts as an oversight committee in deciding how our student media will be run. George Castillo Board candidate As a TSP Board mem ber, I will want to inform students as to where, how, and what their money is being used for. I will welcome suggestions, comments and questions that are nec­ essary for keeping communication open between me and the student body. I will actively seek opinions from you, and will do all that I can to not be one of those members that, once elected, are never heard from again I'm sure that 90 percent or more of the students at Texas are unaware of who their representatives are, and have never heard from them. I will want to change that, and if elected, I will try to speak with as many stu­ dents as possible, in order to familiar­ ize everyone with their university media. issues, I would like to recruit more heavily from different ethnic, gender, so cio e co n o m ic and id e o lo g ica l groups as well as from neglected seg­ ments like students with d eb ilities. I w ould also like to introduce a m ore extensive d iversity-train in g program for our entire staff. This is an important part of employee train­ ing that is often ignored in the back- to -sch o o l rush each sem este r. It would include workshops with the Student Equity and Diversity Board and th e C o u n selin g and M en tal Health Center. Student representation I would like to incorporate on-the- spot interview's with random UT stu­ dents, asking their opinions on issues affecting the University, Austin, the state, the nation and the w orld. I would then publish the responses in a weekly column. I would also like to offer a weekly guest column spot to a different campus group. This way, The Texan will stay in touch with stu­ dent concerns. Through the im plem entation of th ese p lan s, I hope to retu rn The Texan to its readership. W ith your su p p o rt, w e can en su re th at The T exan rem ain s "O u r P ap er, O ur Voice." Editor Candidate Amy Strahan in A bout a year ago. a headline in The Texan read "Damn, w e're Big!"

In som e cases, we agreed to d is­ agree, but every student has always hung up the phone or left the base­ ment knowing that their voice was h e a rd .

H aving a sys­ tem o f sig n ed e d ito ria ls could h a v e so lv ed many of the past c o n t r o v e r s i e s with our editorial board. It's some­ thing we had in p la ce 4 y e a rs ago, and I’d like to revive that tradi­ tion. Rob Addy Editor candidate The 40 Acres Preview Page I'll dedicate page 5 of the editorial section to previewing student-orga­ nized events 1-2 times a week. Your organization deserves better than a 3-line blurb in "around campus." In stea d , th e 40 A c re s P review Page will be a reliable, regular forum to make sure events like service pro­ jects, guest sp eak ers and p h ilan ­ thropic fundraisers get the publirity they need to be successful. Daily Texan Opinion Polling I'll give this year's failed west mall table a clear pu rpose: conducting student opinion surveys. This is sup­ posed to be a student paper — it's tim e we found out w hat students really think. E-mail Updates over the Summer W hen you 're aw ay for the sum­ mer, I'll create weekly e-mail service so you can still read the major stories from the paper. You'd be surprised what the Administration tries to pull when vcru're not looking. Let's show them that we're still watching. The Editor's Cabinet A new s tu d e n t o rg a n iz a tio n , w hich will be an advisory bodv to the Editor on campus issues. Mem­ bership will be open, and meetings will be regularly held. The way I see it, no editor can be successful unless he or she has a reli­ able cabinet of ad viso rs that will make sure our paper is in tune with student issues. Sem inars for Student O rganiza­ tions the T w ice a se m e ste r, new s departm ent will hold sem inars on how to publicize in The Texan. This is information every student organi­ zation needs to be successful — I’ll make sure you get it. Real Diversity My editorial board will reflect not o n ly the c u ltu ra l d iv e rsity that m akes our cam pus great, but will have students who have done more than ju st w ork at The Texan for 4 years. There s more on my web page, so check it out! wnvw.robforeditor.com Editor Candidate Jaclyn Roberson That stated, I will host a table in a different UT dormitorv each week for an hour and a half between the h o u rs o f noon and 3 p.m . ev ery Thursday or Friday. As editor, it is also important that all students, no only Texan staffers, realize they have a voice in our paper. As editor, I will d ev o te P age 5, in its e n tire ly , to guest columns from student groups. On a cam pus of 50,OCX) students, many feel as though they have no mput in how their University is run. Too often, students aren't informed about the meeting time of UT com­ mittees and subcommittees, many of w h ich d ra ft p o licy th a t d ire ctly affects students' lives. In the spirit of promoting better co m m u n ica tio n b etw een all stu ­ dents, n ot m erely a chosen few, I will publish the meeting times of UT committees prominently on the edi­ torial page once a week. With hectic class schedules and second jobs, it's tough for students to take an active role in UT campus life. Letting stu­ dent know how and when they can get more involved is a key step in crea tin g cam pus com m u nity and giving students a stronger voice on their campus. A c u r io u s co lu m n ist re c e n tly inquired about my proposed make­ up o f th e e d ito ria l b o a rd . He im plies that it is virtually im possi­ ble to create a consensus worthy of a Viewpoint with numerous oppos­ ing perspectives in the same room. This, as I have witnessed for many years, is untrue. An editorial board th a t c a n n o t w ra n g le d a ily w ith p ressin g issu es at the U n iv ersity surely cannot present a thoughtful and well-researched product. When students of like minds on key issues h elp co m p o se o r tu rn s ad d ressing cam pus problem s, the result is too often a decrease in the q u a lity o f th e co m m e n ta ry . Too m uch co n sen su s fu els arro g an ce and com placency, which dam ages the credibility of The Texan and its effectiveness in relating to its read­ ers. ta k e T h e re fo re , my ed ito ria l b o ard , composed of three associate editors, will be diverse. A s a reporter and as editor, I am dev >ted to fair and accurate com ­ mentary. I have not and do not pub­ lish my opinions on any issue affect­ ing students until I speak with those on both sides of any issue. This is a tradition which will continue during my term. There are roughly 50,000 different voices cm this campus, and it w ill be a p riv ileg e to h ear and serve diem all. I can hardly wait. T he e d ito r o f T he D aily Texan assumes many different roles during his or her term. Once elected, he or sh e b eco m es a pumalist, a cam­ lead er, a p u s a m e d ia to r, su p e rv iso r, a teach er and the v o ic e for m ore than 48,000 stu ­ d en ts. But p e r­ hap s the m ost im p o rta n t ro le assum ed by The Texan editor is the role of a problem so lv e r. N ext y e a r's e d ito r w ill observe every campus problem from minority recruitment and retention to insufficient campus housing, and it is his or her responsibility to offer solu tions based on stud ent input. B efo re he or she can tackle these issues however, the editor must first solve the inequities within The Texan. I have devised several plans to help solve some of those problems. Jaclyn Roberson Editor candidate Campus coverage To improve The Texan's coverage of campus issues and events, I would lik e to en list stu d e n t v o lu n teers ca lle d o m b u d sm en , w ho w ould serv e as the liaiso n betw een The Texan and different areas of campus. These students would be separate from reporters and editors; rather, they would serve as a resource for g ro u p s d esirin g co v erag e. T h ere would be a student governance liai­ son, an academic liaison, an athletics liaison, a Greek liaison, a muticultur­ al affairs liaison and a liaison for the residence halls. I also want to set up open houses at The Texan, w hich w ould allow v ario u s secto rs o f the cam p u s to com e down to our offices, discuss issues and concerns and give sugges­ tions for improvement. This way, we w ill ensu re that we cov er the UT com m unity extensively and m ore accurately. Diversity concerns I w an t to im prove the relations between underrepresented students and The Texan staff.

Kevin Brennan Board candidate College of Communication Place 2 Mark Miller God Bless UT As the current Station Manager of 91.7 KVRX college radio for Austin, I have learned a great deal about the TSP Board. Student media is very im portant to me and has been my life for the last eight m onths. W ith my cu rren t knowledge and interaction with The Daily Texan, Cactus Yearbook, KVR- TV and of course KVRX I am confi­ dent that my experience makes me a qualified candidate for the position. Mark Miller Board candidate Student diversity within the stu­ dent media entities wall be something that I will strive for and hope to work with if elected to the TSP Board. Also, students should know about all the opportunities that are available within the TSP organization, and I hope to spread the word. Both my love for stu­ dent media and mv work ethic makes me believe that I can only make Texas Student Publications stronger. Please vote for the man with the furrv face, and make mom proud.

But m ost stu­ dents have read The Texan, bought a y e a r­ book or student d i r e c t o r y , w atched KVR- TV or listened to KVRX. The TSP Board supervises all these student media. The board sets their budgets and policies and appoints their stu­ dent m anagers. There are six stu ­ dents, three faculty members and two media professionals on the board. Cindy Tom Board candidate I feel strongly about the need for student representation on the board to ensure that student fees are spent wisely and efficiently. I also have experience working at both The Daily Texan and KVR-TX and understand the types of problems diese organiza­ tions can face. I am dedicated to serving the inter­ ests of the student body through the TSP Board.

In addition, I have won several awards in the edu­ cational and corporate environment for public speaking. 3. Personal Philosophy I believe electro n ic m edia and print are integral parts of the UT In a university as large community. and as unique as UT, the media play an especially important role in the way our community comes together. Policy decisions about how these media operate define the possibilities and lim itatio n s stu d en ts face in using them. The creation and main­ tenance of such policy should pro­ duce a diverse forum of public voic­ es, that serves the entire student body, while responding to the con­ cerns and needs of the UT communi­ ty. 4. Goals and Objectives I am interested in ensuring that campus media are maintained and developed in a manner which pro­ motes com m unity understanding and a productive exchange of infor­ mation. ¡Digital media has become an integral part o f this inform ation exchange in the UT community. I am p articularly interested in the proper development, expanded scope and effective implementation of digi­ tal media. At-Large Place 2 James Collins Media are our personal and social architecture; through them, and with great consequence, our private lives extend into and becom e public places. And our new proportions are liabilities. Information then becomes a chal­ lenge to our means and mar­ gin only if it is presented in such a way that it may be assimilated into this architecture. Otherwise, local and world events remain negligible and we remain feeble in our micro­ scopic scale.

The b a n d 's new est offering, Hot Lunch, is no ex ception, as th e Spankers again address modern- day issues with a hum orous view an d a m u sical style th a t fits in somewhere between the two World Wars. The Spankers pride themselves on playing m usic of all different styles, from jazz to ragtime to Latin to v a u d e v ille , and even a little H a w a iia n (fou nd on the new alb u m in th e form of “Islan d A ngel"). Hot Lunch succeeds in serving up almost every imaginable music style and subject. But while it is initially entertain­ ing that most of the bands' songs rely on irony and verbal witticisms to make a joke, this grows tiresome and keeps the album from being one that listeners will want to hear repeatedly. Some of die songs, such as "UFO Attack," w ith its chorus "O u t of space is where they take 'em /A ll they want to do is impregnate 'em," are so stra n g e and b izarre th a t repeated listening is needed just to fully realize the depth of their odd­ ness. But for the m ost p art, the lyrics merely take away from the music. Hot Lunch's only real lyrical gem is the biting "Smells Like Thirty- Something," the Spankers' attack on the neo-swing movement. On this song, w ith its declaration, "I love martinis and I love cigars/But I hate martini and cigar bars," the band finally finds the right combi­ nation of hum or and commentary with the well-deserved attack on the fa d d is h n a tu re of m o st of today's swing music. The A sy lu m S treet S p a n k ers pn d e themselves equally on their musical ability and their irreverent lyrics. While the Spankers musical ability is unquestionable, many lis­ teners will be left w anting m ore from the lyrics. Any band that can easily make the transition between as many divergent music genres as they do is obviously skilled, but their insistence on novelty lyrics severely limits their overall appeal. O ne h o p e s th at so m ed ay th e group will focus on creating music that combines their musical talent with more endunng lyrics, but until then, Hot Lunch will be little more than tomorrow's leftovers. — Will Furgeson Everyone's Raving About Cowgirls!

It's obvious now that his fiancee, Rose McGowan, is the real devil. The raven-haired, i v o r y - s k i n n e d " S a t a n in h e e ls " ¿ats the screen alive in the shoddi­ ly written Jaw breaker and ends up as perhaps the only saving grace. Ja w b rea k er fin d s the b ea u tifu l people of Reagan High in a bit of a q u a n d a r y . A p r a c tic a l jo k e has g on e too far and the sw eet one, L iz P u rr ( C h a r lo tte * R o ld a n ), is d ead. C o u rtn e y S h a y n e (played with diabolical glee by McGowan) takes charge and along with her h e n c h m a n , M a r c i e " F o x y " F o x (Julie Benz), cover up the acciden­ ta l d e a t h w ith g o o d g irl J u l ie (Rebecca Gayheart) sulking at the rear. T h in g s get u g ly w h e n scho o l n e r d F e rn M a y o ( Ju d y E v a n s G re e r) a cc id e n ta lly w alks in on them mid-cover up. To save their hides, and perhaps to obtain per­ ve r se p leasu re, C o u rtn e y offers her the chance of a lifetime — take L iz 's place am ong the beau tifu l p e o p le . F ro m th e re, F ern M ayo b e c o m e s V i o l e t t e , and all h e ll breaks loose. W h en we first see M cG o w an , she is w ea rin g a m ask o ver her face as she shoves the titular jaw­ b r e a k e r d o w n L iz 's th ro at. She then removes the mask, revealing a tight red dress, bright red lip­ stick and red movie star sunglass­ es nestled in her hair that peek out like little red horns. Her pitch to Fern is worded and conveyed in a manner to hide the fact that she is indeed selling her soul to become o ne of them. L ittle to u ch e s like these are sprinkled throughout the film to make Courtney seem more M eph isto phelian, bu t no actress would have been able to pull it off quite like McGowan. M cGowan has the look of evil. Her sable hair, piercing eyes and lu m in e sce n t skin all hin t at the darkness within, and each adds its own little dimension to Courtney's devilish character. "She's so evil!" c r ie s a s p u rn e d V io l e tt e . " A n d she's only in high school!" Aside from McGowan, however, film JAWBREAKER Starring: Rose McGowan, Marilyn Manson, Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz, Pam Grier, Judy Evans, Chad Christ, Ethan Erickson Director Darren Stein Playing at Barton Creek, Highland, Tinsel­ town North, Tinseltown South, Gateway Rating: ★★ (out of five) all of the c h a r a c te r s are p o o rly w ritte n . G r e e r 's F e r n / V i o l e t t e , arguably the most important char­ acter in the movie, d o e sn 't ease into the transition; rather, she goes from wallflower to bitch the sec­ ond h e r m a k e o v e r is co m p le te . G a y h e a r t 's J u l i e e x i s t s o n ly to m ope around with h er big blue eyes as she is cast down from the beautiful people clique. But Chad C h r is t d o e s do a g r e a t K e a n u Reeves impression as Zack, Julie's drama boyfriend. The comparisons to H eathers are JAWBREAKER/Page 15 sound bite release, L ife Like, a fu rth er p ro ­ g ression on the w orthw hile (yet d isap p o in tin g ) trek it's decided to take ever since the hysteria of the first album faded away. The mastermind behind Dig is Scott Hackwirth. He writes, pro­ d u c e s and s in g s all th e b a n d 's songs. And like any group with o n e m a j o r f i g u r e it ( E v e r c l e a r , C o l l e c t i v e S o u l , Smashing Pumpkins), there are a l o t o f n e w s t y l e s an d i d e a s bouncing off the new songs. l e a d i n g A s is th e ca s e w it h m a n y of these groups, D ig's experim enta­ tio n fe e ls m o re c i r c u m s t a n t i a l t h a n n a t u r a l . It s o u n d s li k e H ac k w irth w ants to ch a n g e the sound up just for-the hell of it or to keep up with popular trends. The biggest borrow ed trend here is trying to nab the m agic from R a d io h e a d 's a lread y classic OK C om puter. O n L ife L ik e , th e t i t l e t r a c k sounds like a Radiohead or Pulp o u t t a k e r e d o n e w i t h a W e s t C oast drawl. On "A ll Over You," i t ' s h a r d to m i s s th e s p i r i t o f P u lp 's Jarvis C ocker w anting to get out and play. All of D ig's 12 new songs have th e ir m o m e n ts, and the en e rg y w o r k s and r e m a in s c o n s i s t e n t th ro u g h o u t all of them. But the q u e s t i o n r e m a i n s : D o e s S c o t t H ackw irth want to be British, or is h e m e r e l y t r y i n g to p u t an American grunge spin on the UK c r e a t i v e j u i c e s ? It w o u ld h a v e been a better album had Dig just tak en the p lu n g e and g o n e for w h atever m ak e-ov er they w a n t­ ed. it d e v e l o p s I n s t e a d , t h e m u s i c s o u n d s re lu cta n t to take an y stan c e on where it belongs. As good as this m ay s e e m , in t o s o m e th in g co rn y . O n e m o m e n t t h e r e 's a t o t a ll y t r ip p y n o d to E u r o p e a n t w e a k e r s P r i m a l Scream ("B u ssto p p in g "), but the next fin d s H a c k w irth so u n d in g like J. Mascis on "I D on 't M ind." O nce Dig m ak es up its m ind, it s h o u l d b e a b l e to p r o d u c e a w e s o m e a l b u m s a g a i n . Its d e b u t had a lo t of p r o m i s e (it should be part of any grunge-era co lle c t io n ), bu t H a c k w ir th and Co. seem to be losing focus and r u n n i n g w i t h s e l f - i n d u l g e n t s o u n d s . L ife L ik e is e n o u g h to ensure that Dig is still a force to reckon w ith, bu t not en o u g h to plant its feet firmly in Am erican soij. — M att D entler 33% OFF Processing & Prints rpoMMtag j Quaiy, professional prints - quick service1 Ge t an E X T R A 1 0 S O F F wi t h t he P C D i s c o u n t C a r d 1 N70„, 128-10Smnyt4.0-5.6p & ■ I Promaster 62mm UV niter $629 A u s t i n s B E S T PRECISION CAMERA tv.
