"You get your rough clubs here occa­ sionally," he said, "but nowadays, the majority are doctors and lawyers." Traffic congestion and accident rates went up, said Anthony Nelson, an Austin Police Department officer. Many of those accidents involved motorcycles, he said. B.J. Hall, a 64-year-old biomedical engi­ neer from Austin, had been in a head-on col­ lision with a car before and said he stayed oft motorcycles for a while after that. " I went to dirt bikes," he said. "I got back on motorcycles when I figured I'd learned that everybody on the road is try­ ing to kill you. Once you get that in your head, you're fine."

"I knew [the Longhorns] were really aggressive early in the count. I used a lot of slid­ ers early, and I knew that their approach was to try to hit the ball the opposite way, so every now and then I tried to sneak some fast balls inside to keep them honest," Hobson said. "I knew that they were tradition­ ally a small-ball team, so I just knew I had to be aggressive and attack the hitters." Alaniz took his fourth loss of the season after giving up five of NC State's runs, though Sunday was not a disappointing outing by any means. "1 think that w as the best pitching perform ance of the year for Adrian," Garrido said. "H e gave it everything he had. There's n o t much else you can do." Texas jum ped out offensively in the first inning by putting up two runs, which kept the Longhorns in the lead until the sixth when Texas gave up two Wolfpack runs on a double and sacrifice fly.

Larry K o lvo ord | Associated Press Texas baseball players watch as the North Carolina team celebrates its 6-3 win during the NCAA regional base­ ball game in Austin on Sunday. sealing both Texas' fate. the gam e and Sunday's game became an elim­ ination contest after perennial powerhouse Stanford took Texas down 12-8 Saturday in a con­ test that included two Longhorn errors and two Cardinal four-run innings. Like they did against NC State, Texas took a first-inning lead. But unlike the Wolfpack, the Cardinal d id n 't wait until the middle of the game to take it from them. Stanford came back in the second inning w ith a grand slam, surging ahead 4-3 with one swing of the bat — a lead that they d id n 't give up for the rest of the game. Texas' only win of the Regional came Friday, when sophomore starting pitcher Kenn Kasparek reached career num bers in innings pitched (7.1) and strike­ outs (7) during a 9-1 rout of Texas-Arlington. The 6-foot-10-inch righty — who went through many strug­ gles this season — shined this year in the postseason much like he did last season. Another bright spot in Texas' short NCAA outing was red- shirt freshman catcher Preston Clark, who hit two home runs in as many days on Friday and Saturday. But Texas can take all the posi­ tives it can from this weekend, and it still w on't dull the pain the Longhorns are feeling after end­ ing their season without even the chance to make it to the College World Series for what would have been the fifth consecutive season. "The people who know how I think about baseball know that I think it's a difficult game. Right now you have a clubhouse full of Longhorns that are very dis­ appointed," Garrido said. "They have put all that they have into this, only to have a very difficult end." TEXAS STUDENT MEDIA SALUTES NO TRESPASSING.

In predominantly Shiite south­ ern Basra, police hunting for militants stormed a Sunni Arab mosque early Sunday, just hours after a car bombing. The ensuing fire fight killed nine. The two attacks dealt a blow to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al- Maliki's pledge to curb sectarian violence. He again failed to reach consensus Sunday among Iraq's ethnic and sectarian parties on candidates for interior and defense minister posts he must fill to imple­ ment his ambitious plan to take control of Iraq's security from U.S.- led forces within 18 months. Violence linked to Shiite and Sunni Arab animosity has grown increasingly worse since Feb. 22, when bombs ravaged the golden dome of a revered Shiite mosque in predominantly Sunni Arab Samarra. Sectarian tensions have run particularly high in Baghdad, Basra and Diyala province, a mixed Sunni Arab-Shiite region. And Sunday's attacks came just days after terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi renewed his call for Sunni Arabs to take up arms against Shiites, whom he often vilifies as infidels. NATION BRIEFLY Neighbors remember slain Indianapolis family INDIANAPOLIS — A neighbor­ hood mourned the deaths of seven family members Sunday, somewhat comforted by news that police believed they had arrested everyone responsible for the city's worst mass murder in at least 25 years. A memorial service was scheduled Sunday night in front of the home where couple Emma Valdez, 46, and Alberto Covarrubias, 56, were gunned down during a robbery three days earlier along with two adult children, two young children and a grandchild. The sidewalk in front of the home in a working-class neigh­ borhood had become a shrine to the family, with neighbors, friends and others leaving an angel stat­ ue, candles, flowers, ribbons and stuffed animals in tribute to them. A manhunt for the main suspect had gripped the city for two days before ending Saturday night, when 28-year-old prison parolee Desmond Turner surrendered to officers at a fast-food restaurant while accompanied by relatives. Turner, who finished serving a 3 1/2-year prison term on drug and weapons charges last fall, was being held without bond Sunday on seven charges of murder and one charge of robbery, jail records indicated. He could face the death penalty. It was not immediately clear when he would make his initial court appearance. Relatives of Rl nightclub fire victims get apology letters JOHNSTON, R.I. — When the letter arrived at Dave Kane's home, a single page of unadorned cursive script, he had to struggle through tears to read it to his wife. "To Nick O'Neill's family and friends," began the letter from Daniel Biechele. "Please allow me to start by apologizing for the part I played in Nick's tragic death and for taking so long to convey this apology to you." Biechele is the former rock band tour manager whose pyrotechnics display for a concert at The Station nightclub in West Warwick on Feb. 20,2003, started the fire that killed Kane's 18-year-old son, Nicholas O'Neill, and 99 others. Biechele, who tearfully apolo­ gized in court last month before being sentenced to four years in prison, wrote personal letters to the families of all 100 people killed by the fire. The letters were written before the sentencing and are now being distributed by the state pro­ bation department to the families who want them. Some who have received the letters say they are satisfied with Biechele's words, which have a remorseful tone and show that he accepts responsibility. In at least some notes, Biechele acknowledg­ es that forgiveness may be impos­ sible and that the pain of losing a child is unthinkable. "I just believe it was sincere," Kane said Saturday in an interview at his home. "It was just real. It wasn't Til write this letter and the judge will take five years off my sentence." Compile 1 from Associated Press reports &N ATI0N T h e D a i l y T e x a n Monday, June 5, 2006 This videotape image made by a Haditha, Iraq, journalism student, shows a scene in what appears to be a morgue following an alleged fatal raid by United States forces that took place on Nov. 19, 2005, in Haditha, Iraq. Associated Press Military pledges massacre inquiry By Lolita C. Baldor The Associated Press SINGAPORE — The top U.S. military officer pledged a thorough investigation into the alleged mas­ sacre of Iraqi citizens in Haditha by Marines, saying it is important to avoid a rush to judgment. Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged that the allegations involving the deaths of about two dozen Iraqis have raised concerns among Iraqi officials and in the United States. "But you don't want to have the emotions of the day weigh into the process," Pace told The Associated Press in an interview Sunday. "We need to stick with our judicial process. We want to be sure that it moves forward without any influence." Pace said it is not clear exactly last November what happened when as many as two dozen Iraqis were killed during a U.S. attack. U.S. military investigators have evidence that points toward unpro­ voked murders by the Marines, a senior U.S. defense official said last week. o f U.S. its ow n Iraq said last week it was under­ taking investigation. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki sharply criticizing the conduct of U.S. troops in Iraq and said what occurred in Haditha "appears to be a horrible crime." Secretary State Condoleezza Rice, in broadcast interviews Sunday in Washington, said "Am erican forces are the solution here, not the problem" and promised that in the Haditha investigations, "We'll get to the bottom of it." At the same time, she spoke of the difficulty in fighting insurgents "when they can hide among the civilian population." In some countries in the region with sizable Muslim populations, the war in Iraq has soured atti­ tudes toward the U.S. The killings in Haditha have contributed to that, leading the U.S. military on Thursday to order that the 150,000 coalition troops in Iraq, including 130,000 Americans, get special training in ethics and "the values that separate us from our enemies." The additional instruction, Pace said, "should provide comfort to those looking to see if we are we a nation that stands on the values we hold dear." Pace has declined to talk about the specifics of the two investiga­ tions into the Haditha killings. He said Sunday he does not know when they will be completed. Both he and Rumsfeld have said they do not want to make comments that might taint the probes. The investigation that will be finished first is the one examining whether the Marines in Haditha or their commanders tried to cover up what happened, Pace said. The second, a criminal investigation, will take longer. The results of both investigations will be made public as soon as pos­ sible without interfering with the legal process, Pace pledged. "Regardless of the outcome of these investigations, 99.9 percent of the servicemen and service women are doing what we expect them to do," he said. Haditha, about 140 miles north­ west of Baghdad, has been plagued by insurgents. On Nov. 19, a bom b rocked a military convoy, killing a Marine. Residents said Marines then went into nearby houses and shot members of two families, including a 3-year-old girl. At first, the U.S. m ilitary described w hat happened as an ambush on a joint U.S.-Iraqi patrol, with a roadside bombing and subsequent firefight killing 15 civilians, eight insurgents and a Marine. GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who was an Air Force lawyer and is in the Air Force Reserves today, termed the allegations "unnerving" but said Sunday that "if it is true that our Marines killed innocent civilians, noncombatants, out of revenge, they will be severely dealt with."

Aaron Harris | Associated Press Canadian police arrest 1 7 in terrorist plot By Beth Duff-Brown The Associated Press TO RON TO — Canadian police foiled a homegrown ter­ rorist attack by arresting 17 sus­ pects, apparently inspired by al-Qaida, who obtained three times the amount of an explo­ sive the Oklahoma City bombing, offi­ cials said Saturday. ingredient used in The FBI said the Canadian suspects may have had "limited contact" with two men recently arrested on terrorism charges in Georgia. About 400 regional police and federal agents par­ ticipated in the arrests Friday and early Saturday. "These individuals were alleg­ edly intent on committing acts of terrorism against their own country and their own people," Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement. "A s we have said on many occasions, Canada is not immune to the threat of terrorism." The Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested 12 adult sus­ pects, ages 43 to 19, and five suspects younger than 18 on terrorism charges including plotting attacks with explosives on Canadian targets. . The group acquired three tons of ammonium nitrate — three times the amount used to blow up the Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, in Oklahoma City, killing 168 p e o pie and injuring more than 800, said assistant Royal Canadian Mounted Police commissioner Mike McDonell. The fertilizer can be mixed with fuel oil or other ingredi­ ents to make a bomb. "This group posed a real and serious threat," McDonell said. "It had the capacity and intent to carry out these attacks." Luc Portelance, assistant director of operations with Canada's spy agency, CSIS, said the suspects "appeared to have become adherents of a violent ideology inspired by al-Qaida" but that investigators have yet to prove a link to the terror network. Five of the suspects were led in handcuffs Saturday to the Ontario Court of justice, which was surrounded by snipers and bomb-sniffing dogs. A judge told the men not to communicate w ith one another and set their first bail hearing for Tuesday. FBI Speciál Agent Richard KoLko said in Washington there may have been a connection between the Canadian suspects and a Georgia Tech student and another American who had traveled to Canada to meet with Islamic extremists to discuss locations for a terrorist strike. Syed Haris Ahmed and Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, U.S. cit­ izens who grew up in the Atlanta area, were arrested in March. Officials at the news con­ ference displayed purported bomb-making materials includ­ ing a red cell phone wired to what appeared to be an explo­ sives detonator inside a black toolbox. Also shown were a computer hard drive, camou­ flage uniforms, flashlights and walkie-talkies. A flimsy white door riddled with bullet holes was on display but no details about it were available. a report Saturday in The Toronto Star, According to the suspects attended a terrorist training camp north of Toronto and had plotted to attack the Canadian spy agency's down­ town Toronto office, among other targets in Ontario prov­ ince. Authorities refused to con­ firm those reports. Also at the court hearing was Aly Hindy, an imam of an Islamic center that houses a school and a mosque and has been monitored by security agencies for years. He said he knows nine of the suspects and that Muslims once again were being falsely accused. "It's not terrorism. It could be some criminal activity with a few guys, that's all," said Hindy. "We are the ones always accused. Somebody fakes a doc­ ument and they are an inter­ national terrorist forging docu­ ments for al-Qaida."

T he phrases "University College," "Signature Courses," and "cur­ ricular review" still elicit blink stares from people on the 40 Acres. But these ideas are at the heart of a renewed emphasis on under­ graduates, UT's grandest debate in 30 years. These abstract phrases could very well determine the legacy of President William Powers. The University College concept — proposed in a report about the curriculum chaired bv Powers last fall — has already provoked harsh words from senior administrators, including several deans. Depending on whom you ask, it could rein vigórate the core cur­ riculum or cripple the University with more bureaucracy. But some people haven't heard. And some don't care. It's with both groups in mind that this page offers a multi-day primer on curricular refoim. W e'll update readers on last semester's political maneuvering. W e'll take a kxik at some issues central to the debate: postponing major declaration, campuswide advising, enormous lecture classes, power struggles between colleges.

I engineering deans — who possibly have the illy with the delayed major declaration — came icly declaring their distaste for the University M any of the colleges organized town hall-style forums in the spring for faculty to discuss the curricular debate. The first — held In natural sciences — was practically an ambush. Department chairs called strategy sessions with students and professors before the meeting. One actually circulated an e-mail to his department saying, "W e need as many faculty members as we can muster to attend; a show of force w ill matter." The vast majority of attend ees criticized the Powers report, occasionally breaking into jeers or applause. David Hillis. a biology professor and the only task force member to write a dissenting opinion, handed out a one-page summary of why he opposes the task force proposals. Other collegewide forums were more civil. But by the end of the spring, the debate had become polarized and somewhat stagnant. The Uni ver sity C<»liege caused most of the division, but the concept was simplified and misunderstood to the point that some people forgot w'hat they were arguing about. One w ay or another, that's going to change this summer. At least three key groups w ill be reexamining the Powers report. Most importantly, a faculty council committee plans to transform the proposals inte» actual legislatn >n that can be voted on.

Shakirí it up Last week's announcement that Sheldon Ekland- Olson would be stepping down as the University's provost was likely only the first of several major administrative change of the summer. UT's new presi­ dent, W illiam Powers, chose to keep a low profile for his first semester, but June through August brings an opportunity for him to shuffle the weighty UT bureau­ cracy as he sees fit. History shows it is not unusual for several adminis­ trative positions around the University to be in transi­ tion around the transfer of power in the president's office. UT's last president, Larry Faulkner, took over on April 13, 1998, and quickly put his mark on the administration. On April 17, he appointed James H ill vice president for human resources and community relations. By M ay 1, he had appointed his office's legal counsel, Patricia Ohlendorf, to be a vice president and his chief of staff. Juan Sanchez got the interim V P for research nod on June 15, and was made permanent in the posi­ tion a year later. And Ekland-Olson was appointed provost on Sept. 18. Instigated by a hew president or not (and surely not all are), the current flux in high-level administra­ tive positions at the University is staggering. This graphic illustrates changes over the past year, with the appointment or start dates of each position. Expect more shake-ups along the way.

Bush In the same speech on Saturday, the president renewed his push for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and pre­ vent the states from deciding the issue. Texas already moved to ban gay marriage in a statewide vote last November. Despite Bush's rhetoric, guaranteeing second-class citizenship for an entire group of Americans is neither respectful nor dignified. In a move that Bush's handlers insist has no connection to shor­ ing up votes for midterm elections, the president w ill hold a press conference today to once again call for passage of the marriage amendment. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate is poised to vote on the amendment. Bush has made his opinion on the issue clear countless times before, including in his most recent radio address to the nation. Somehow, we are confident that the country is aware of Bush's stance on the issue. If Bush is only pushing for the marriage ban in an attempt to fire up his political base, that tactic is starting to fail. Groups such as the conservative American Fam ily Association have chided Bush for what they view as an insincere commitment to the issue. W ith Bush's approval ratings among the lowest of his presidency, it's no surprise he's scrambling to find support anywhere he can. However, a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage remains unnecessary. In 1996, Congress passed and President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act, defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman. In light of the fact that the wording of the proposed amendment is strikingly similar, it is hard to look past the looming midterm elections just five months away as reason for the urgency in the push. A more logical approach to the issue would leave it in the hands of the individual states. Nineteen states have passed same-sex mar­ riage bans, and six more states w ill vote on the issue this year. Even though the rights of a minority group should not be decided by a majority vote, an electoral process is preferable to a blanket ban that would preclude any state from enacting its own gay marriage laws. Still, the states that have passed marriage bans do not reflect the sentiments of the entire nation. The bans were ignited by the legalization of gay marriage in Massachusetts in 2003. Several states and localities have led the w ay in establishing domestic partner­ ship and civil union laws. Last month, Austin passed Proposition 6, which gives the city council the option to implement domestic partnership benefits for same-sex couples. In September 2005, the California Legislature approved gay marriage, though Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger subsequently vetoed the measure. Although it appears doubtful that the measure w ill pass, it borders on amazing that the nation's elected representatives find time to gay bash on the floor of the United States Congress. Surely other press­ ing concerns could keep Congress and the president busy — think massive trade deficits or port security. History is not on the side of those who would enshrine dLscrimi- nation into the nation's most sacred document. We hope the Senate has a better handle on tolerance, respect and dignity than Bush does when it decides the fate of the proposed amendment. wwwdailytexanonline.com University Editor: Meghan Young Phone: (512) 232-2206 T h e D a i l y T e x a n 5 Monday, June 5, 2006 Bikers line up and get ready to depart on their 4,500 m ile journey. They began the ride at the South Mall and proceeded to circle the state Capitol before heading to Alaska. Courtney Dudley | Daily Texan Staff Bicyclists start charity j ourney to Alaska Participants raise $265,000 for American Cancer Society in third year o f Texas 4000 By Stephanie M atlock Daily Texan Staff About 45 Texas 4000 bicyclists rode off Friday towards the Capitol from the South Mall. Their final destination: Anchorage, Alaska. The students are riding 4,500 miles to raise money for cancer and raise awareness for the cause. "OK, guys, from here we head to the Capitol and then on to Alaska," Texas4000 Director Jeffrey Schwartz said to the riders. Riders, relatives and supporters gathered before the send-off to cel­ ebrate the group's efforts — so far, they've gone beyond their goal of $200,000 to raise $265,000 for the American Cancer Society — and wish the riders good luck on their journey. The charity ride is in its third year, said founder Chris Condit. He came up with the idea in the sum­ mer of 2003 while watching cover­ age of the Tour de France. "I wanted it to be Texas big," Condit said. After a year of planning and preparation, the first bike ride from Austin to Alaska took place in the summer of 2004, with about 45 participants. This year, the first leg of the ride, 70 miles to Lampasas, was open to anyone who wanted to join the riders and help raise addition­ al funds to benefit the American Cancer Society. The 45 Texas riders will continue on from Lampasas to Anchorage, with both a lead and chase vehicle following them along their journey, said Schwartz. From Lampasas, the group parts ways to follow two routes: one along the West Coast and another along the Rocky Mountains, Schwartz said. The groups will reunite in the Yukon Territory for the last leg of the ride to Anchorage. Locals along the routes will provide housing for the riders. Alex Ratzel, an advertising grad­ uate student, found out about Texas 4000 through his roommate. He said he thought it would be a good opportunity to do something in remembrance of his grandparents, whom he never met, who passed away from cancer. "I think it'll be a very emotion­ al experience," said Ratzel, who added that the trip will provide a lot of love and hope across the country. Keat Wilkins, president of pre­ senting sponsor Sense Corp. Inc., said that support is essential for the students — who serve as examples — and their efforts. "We want to be raising millions of dollars," Wilkins said about can­ cer awareness. In his farewell speech, Condit stressed the importance of spread­ ing knowledge about early detec­ tion to help in the fight against cancer and to remember those who have lost their lives to the disease. "They are not riding," Condit said, "but you are riding for them." Spring, fall fees don’t cover summer services By Jihae M in Daily Texan Staff Students not registered for the summer must pay extra to use student services that are covered by student fees because they are not paying tuition, which include charges to use certain facilities, said Lynn Davis, executive assis­ tant of student affairs. University Health Services and Recreational Sports are available with payment to those still clas­ sified as students, but financial services does not provide aid to students for these services. "It's like a tax," Davis said. "We wouldn't be able to provide service unless everybody's con­ tributed." There are tw o w ays unregis­ tered students can use health services: paying a fee for each visit or enrolling in the UHS Subscription Program , w hich is available only for the first sem ester last follow ing áem ester they are enrolled, said Sherry Bell, consum er educa­ tion and outreach coordinator for UHS. the For $65 the subscription pro­ gram enables students to use UT health care. Additional charges will apply for tests — the same as during the long semesters. More than 500 students used this program during summer 2005. Another option is called "pay as you go," which costs $40 for each office visit, with additional charges for supplies, prescrip­ tions, procedures and diagnostic tests. ing any student tuition fees or tuition, it wouldn't be fair for us if you don't pay like other students," Bell said. "It offers continual health services with low cost." Interim student summer pass­ es cost $96, and are designed for students who are not reg­ istered for the summer to use RecSports facilities, said Rhonda Cox, membership and guest ser­ vices coordinator of division of recreational sports. "I think we should be able to go to the gym during the sum­ mer just like we do during the year for free. We are paying so much money already, it should carry over into the summer," said Nadine Kanga, a govern­ ment junior. The cost of the interim pass is the same as student fees to the RecSports center. One thousand two hundred students enrolled in this program last summer, Cox said. "We don't just pick up the number. It's based on the portion of the tuition that would come if the RecSports center is actu­ ally $96," said Cox. "I think it's very important for students to have access to RecSports center because we feel RecSports facil­ ity contribute to the success of students on campus." The Office of Student Financial Services provides financial coun­ seling and budgeting advice to students who are not enrolled, but those students can not receive any financial aid.

"They can work and have a full time job. Our role is to assist them while they go to school." There are services students can still use w ithout charge, such as UT libraries, com puter services and Capital M etro's local and express buses. A continuing student who is pre-registered for the fall but not enrolled for the summer can check out material, use library services and has access to online resources. Students who enrolled for the spring but not pre-regis­ tered for the fall have to acquire a summer privilege pass for $15 to use those library services dur­ ing the summer, said Jo Anne Hawkin, associate director for public libraries. "I think it's a really excellent and inexpensive way for a stu­ dent to continue his library use without having to register for the summer semester or especially if a student hasn't registered for the fall," she said. 106 years of experience.

Under the law, individuals or organization-, engaging in hazing could be subject to fines and charged w ith a crim in al offense. According to the law, a person can com m it a hazing o ffense not only by engaging in a hazing activity, but also by soliciting, d irectin g, encouraging, aiding or attem pting to aid another in haz­ ing; by intentionally, know ingly or recklessly allow ing hazing to occur; or by failing to report first hand know ledge that a hazing incident is planned or has occurred in w riting to the D ean o f Students. The fact that a person consented to or acquiesced in a h az­ ing activity is not a defense to prosecution for hazing under this law. In an effort to encourage reporting o f h azin g incidents, the law gran ts im m unity from civ il or c rim in al liability to any person who reports a specific hazing event in good faith and without m alice to the D ean o f Students or other appropriate official of the institution and im m unizes that person from participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from that report. Additionally, a doctor or other m edical practitioner who treats a student who may have been subjected to hazing may m ake a good faith report o f the suspected hazing activities to police or other law en force­ m ent officials and is im m une from civil or other liability that m ight otherw ise be im posed or incurred as a result of the report. The penalty for failure to report is a fine of up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both. Penalties for other hazing offen ses vary ac­ cording to the severity of the in jury w hich results and include fines from $500 to $10,000 an d /or confinem ent for up to tw o years.

Organizers estimated that about 3,000 people attended the free con­ cert, which was sponsored by the City of Austin. Less than a hour into the event, the show became standing room only, as many in back of the convened auditorium where couples danced. Major featured perform­ ers were music icons Jimmie Vaughan, Angela Strehli, Calvin Jones and Lou Ann Barton. The acts played back- to-back, occasionally stop­ ping sets to offer personal remembrances of Antone. The young musicians had one plea: for music fans to keep the blues genre alive by continuing to support art­ ists whose genre Antone had devoted his life to. Backstage, the artists reminisced about the life of Antone. Antone, whose nightclub, record label and music store shaped the Austin music scene, died May 26 at age 56. A toxicology report on his death is still pending. His namesake club on Fifth and Lavaca was known for draw­ ing music luminaries such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Antone "Your love for m usic and h u m an ity has enriched and blessed the lives of all of us in music." Bobbie Nelson, musician was also credited with start­ ing the careers of Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. "I knew Clifford for 28 years, and he was a major, major part of my career, and knowing him and playing in his club allowed me to play with the blues greats," said Penny Rexton, who attended Saturday's event. Artists who couldn't make it Saturday sent written trib­ utes to Antone, which were displayed along with pic­ tures ov er a large projection screen. "We all owe you so much gratitude for all you have given us. Your love for music and humanity has enriched and blessed the lives of all of us in music," said Bobbie Nelson, a musician and Willie Nelson's sister, in a statement. "We love you, Clifford and we will miss you." A smart way to help with tuition. And you can use your spare time at PPD to study.

Ellison, appointed as acting chief in May, is the first female African-American to serve as Austin police chief. She has served APD for 27 years in the roles of detective, sergeant and lieutenant, according to a press release. She has been awarded both a Meritorious Service Medal and Distinguished Service Award during her time with APD. Former Chief Knee was named adviser to the Afghan Minister of the Interior by the U.S. State Department and will work on law enforcement activities in the Asia for at least a year, said APD spokesman James Mason. Nelson Linder, president of the Austin chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is optimistic about Ellison's appointment. "She's very capable, she knows the community, and I think she is qualified," Linder said. For Linder, her appointment is important given past issues regarding the treatment of minorities by APD. Most recently, Julie Schroeder, the former Austin police officer fired by Knee, has appealed to get her job back after fatally shooting 18-year-old Daniel Rocha. His death sparked anger throughout Austin, especially within the East Austin community. "Her appointment is an enormous opportunity to build bridges," Linder said, "It changes people's perception of police officers." Jim Harrington, director of the Texas Civil Rights Project, is hopeful that Ellison will reorganize the police distribution within Austin. He says that current APD strategy is to keep the younger officers in East Austin and more senior officers in other parts of Austin. In some parts of East Austin, crime rates are approximately four times higher than crime rates in central Austin, according to dtywide crime reports by APD. "There needs to be incentive to keep more experienced police officers on the east side [of Austin]," Harrington said. Mike Sheffield, president of the Austin Police Association, said he does not see Ellison changing a lot within APD. "We've had success with Chief Knee, I don't see her changing directions or doing anything significantly dif­ ferent," Sheffield said. In 2000, APD received National Accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, according to a press release. "It has been a privilege to work with Chief Knee," said City Manager Toby Futrell in a written statement. "We are now one of the safest cities in the country due in no small part to Chief Knee's efforts." However, Sheffield did stress the importance of police- community relations. Jimmie Vaughan plays to a crowd of approximately 3,000 people at the Parmer Event Center Saturday night. The concert was part of a city-sponsored memorial for Clifford Antone. Photos by Dusten Cook Daily Texan Staff "I see her getting the community to support our efforts as a police department and keeping the community safe," he said. RAID: Immigrant officials deny roundups From page 1 numbers, Wilcott said. It was later discovered that the phony information was being used at his restaurant. "There's no reason why we wouldn't have been an ally to agencies trying to enforce the law," Willcott said. "We were told that our business was not a target, but the attitude was that we were doing something wrong," he added. The immigrants taken into custody Thursday had been employed at Texas French Bread for several years, Willcott said. "There were some of my most highly compensated employees, including one that made $30,000 a year," Willcott said. In April, widespread fear of deportation panicked many Hispanic communities across the nation. Hispanic businesses in Austin saw fewer customers, and Austin schools informed parents and faculty of their rights in case they found themselves confronted by immigration offi­ cials. Immigration and Customs Enforcement denied allegations of immigrant roundups. Stories of raids could not be confirmed. Guy Taylor has been working at Texas French Bread for the past six months and said he is saddened by the recent raid at the bakery. "I think it's really too bad for all the families," Taylor said.

Jeremy Balkin | Daily Texan Staff Austin crowns air guitar champ By Chris Lowe Daily Texan Staff an epic battle of "airness" last Saturday night, T hu n d erp an ts the D estroyer rocked the Alamo D ow ntow n Theater to win the Austin Air G uitar Cham pionships. ^ T hunderpants, real name John Rosacker, defeated fellow contestant Buck Nasty in a classic invisible guitar duel for the title. O ther rock m om ents of the night included Buck N asty's flame-spitting trick, King C uddles' lion-doll bikini outfit, and Dark Wolf Night Ranger's sacrifice of a virgin to the guitar gods. Like the finale of "American Idol," judges and fans alike flocked to congratulate and have their pictures taken with the newly crowned champion, Thunderpants. "H e's like an actual rock star," a fan said as she tried to m ake it through the mob surrounding T hunderpants after the show. He even em ployed roadies to set up invisible equipm ent before his air guitar solo. T hunderpants m ust m aintain his mock star image as he goes on to represent Austin, Texas, in the Air G uitar U.S.A. Finals in New York City. The U.S. Finalist will go on to O ulu, Finland, in the World Air G uitar C ham pionships. This b ed ro o m -p astim e-turned-international air battle royale originated "m any moons ago in Finland" in an effort to use the "beauty of air gui­ tar" to spread w orld peace. More than 50 countries now M u l t i m e d i a y com pete for the w orld title, See Web Site for a including regional contests in photo gallery over 20 U.S. cities. In 2005 the com petitive world of air guitar shredding m oved to the global guitar capital — Austin, Texas. On becoming A ustin's air guitar champion, T hunderpants said in true rocker fashion: "It's all about the music." U.S. Mexican, Latin American war contributions focus of new book By Halie Pratt Daily Texan Staff U.S. Latinos are being recognized for heir World War II participation in a new xxik, "A Legacy Greater than Words." "An interview I did in 1992 for the Dallas Morning News was about Mexican- American civil rights. In the course of it, I realized that the people who had been most active in Mexican American civil rights were all World War 0-era peo­ ple," said Dr. Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez, associate professor of journalism at the University. "I felt, as a journalist, I could do something to document their history." Rodriguez launched the U.S. Latino and Latina WWII Oral History Project in 1999. The project blossomed when she realized the need for documentation of Latino World War II veterans' stories. The first book that stemmed from the project focused on Mexican Americans involved in World War II, and the current book expands the vision to all Latin Americans. "The contributions that Latin Americans made is one that has been historically mar­ ginalized," said journalism senior Lindsey Fitzpatrick, who helped assemble the book. "These people were integral to the fabric of modem American society." Fitzpatrick, Spanish and journal­ ism senior Juliana Torres and Melissa Dipiero-D'sa, administrative assistant in the College of Communication, helped document, compile and edit the book. Torres and Fitzpatrick were hired to assist Rodriguez after completing a journalism class with her. Fitzpatrick became inspired after writing a story on a woman who participated in the New Mexico silver mine strike. Now that she has graduated, Fitzpatrick plans to teach English in the Rio Grande Valley and intends to contrib­ ute to the narratives project. "One of my big goals is to do something like this with my students," Fitzpatrick said. "I hope they can interview their grandparents and start up a mini-project." Torres is unsure whether she will con­ tinue working on the narrative project, as she is currently doing an internship in New York for "People en Español" magazine. "I didn't work on a particular story for the project," Torres said. "The way I became involved was pretty casual. Maggie asked me if I needed a job because she needed somebody to help edit the sto­ ries, and I needed a job. " Sixty years ago, the United States faced an immigration battle similar to the ongo­ ing situation today. Anti-immigration leaders wanted immigrants out of the country. Those in favor of immigration wanted equal opportunity and recogni­ tion for foreign-born Americans. During this time, Latin American immi­ grants played leading roles in World War II. They were sailors, infantrymen and nurses. They worked in the factories that produced artillery and loaded bomber planes. Pete Tijerina, founder of the Mexican- American Legal Defense and Education Fund, used the GJ. Bill to fund his educa­ tion after serving in the war, Rodriguez said. Virgilio Roel of the League of United Latin American Citizens went on to become a reformer of civil rights after serving in the war. "When people returned, they realized the discrimination they were facing after World War II, and that many of the same issues they were fighting against existed in America," said Luis Figueroa, legislative staff attorney for MALDEF. "They're very aware of inequities that exist today." At 80 years of age, Sam Dominguez is a prime example of an active veteran. After serving in World War II, he Is now the executive secretary-treasurer of the American GI Forum. The forum is dedi­ cated to addressing the discrimination faced by Hispanic veterans. Veterans of all ages are welcomed, including those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. "They joined the military to fight for this country, and they must be consid­ ered. Millions of Hispanic Americans have been in wars: WWII, Korea and Vietnam," Dominguez said. "Even now, non-U.S. citizens are fighting our war." According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the 2004 population included 40 million Hisparucs. At least 11 million people in that population are undocumented migrants, according to a March estimate by the Pew Hispanic Center. Despite facing a discriminating country upon return from war, Latin American veterans continued breaking ground as patriotic Americans. Some re-enlisted in the military while others started their own businesses or returned home to their fami­ lies. "The men and women we interv iewed kept their heads up, promote getting edu­ cation, worked hard and are good peo­ ple," D"sa said. "They deserve recognition for their contribution to society." Paraders dance atop a float from the Cockpit, a local ga y club, during the 2006 AGLCC Pride Parade. Seventy-tw o floats entered the parade, which w ound thro ugh do w n to w n Saturday night. Jo«y CastiM:, j Daily Texan Staff Austin Pride Week begins with a rumble By Emily Watson Daily Texan Staff From the Congress Avenue Bridge, the streets of downtown rumbled with the sound of motorcycles as the 2006 Austin Pride Parade made its way north. A night after the Republic of Texas Biker Rally shut down Congress Avenue, the famous street again had no rest. Saturday night marked the fifth annual Pride Parade, hosted by the Austin Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, as thousands of spectators packed the street to view the event. This year's theme, "Celebrating Family," was cause for a much tamer showing of Austin's pride than previ­ ous years. Rainbows and American flags dominated the scene as hundreds of people scouted out the best view of the parade. Some spectators donned costumes and body glitter while oth­ ers wore shirts bearing their employ­ ers' slogans, such as "Dell Pride" and AT&T's "Your Pride, Delivered." "I was overwhelmed by the sup­ port of the businesses around Austin, but I didn't imagine that big com­ panies like HEB and Dell would be huge sponsors of the parade," said Armando Crespo, a senior at UT. As the festivities got underway, anticipation for the parade grew while the 72 floats queued up at the Texas Department of Transportation staging area. Floats ranged from a group of women driving an Enterprise Truck to Dell's elaborate creation, winner of the "Best Float" award for its innova­ tive video screens. Others joined in on foot — Out Youth Inc., Capital City Men's Chorus and Starbucks employees all marched alongside the floats. The parade has amassed a huge following since its beginning in 2002. The event boasted 1,300 participants and an estimated 40,000 spectators last year, double the amount of the initial parade in 2002. This week has been declared "Pride Week" in Austin. Equality Texas will host the Texas Pride Festival at Waterloo Park this Saturday from noon to 8 p.m. Eight artists will take the stage in celebration, including Flamin' Desire, Daniel Link, Kit Holmes and Omar Lopez. Monday, June 5, 2006 ENTERTAINMENT BRIEFLY Weekend movie hits battle it out at the box office M agn eto and the Phoenix were no match for Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn's new romantic comedy, "The Break- Up," as it beat out "X-Men: The Last Stand" at the box office this weekend, bringing in $38.1 mil­ lion. "Over the Hedge" came in third, while Ron Howard's contro­ versial "Da Vinci Code" finished fourth. Special effects bluescreen pioneer dies at 92 A pioneer in movie special effects, Arthur Widmer, 92, has died of cancer. Widmer was recognized by the Academy of M otion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2004 for the Ultra Violet Traveling Matte process, or "bluescreen" technology, and his introduction of Eastman Color Negative and Color Positive to film. Tom Green to host new show on Web site from home For anyone who mourned the loss of "The New Tom Green Show " when the offbeat talk show was cancelled, cheer up. ManiaTV.com will be playing host to Green's new weekly call-in show, which he will run from his ow n living room. It will air both on ManiaTV.com and Green's ow n W eb site. It's unclear whether or not this show will resurrect skits of the M TV show, such as "W here Glenn Will Sleep?" but fans can expect Green's inappropriate humor. Best Supporting Actress and fiance have baby boy Rachel Weisz, winner of the Best Supporting Actress award this year for her role in "The Constant Gardener," has given birth to a baby boy with her fiance Darren Aronofsky, director of "Requiem for a Dream."The couple will need a baby-sitter as they work together on their new film "The Fountain," directed by Aronofsky and starring Weisz, due out later this year. 'American Idol'contestant turns down Fuel offer Determined to "do his own thing," former "American Idol" contestant Chris Daughtry turned down the opportunity to front the band Fuel, who offered him the job of lead singer just hours after he was voted off the show. The former front man Brett Scallions left the group in February, leaving Fuel to recruit Idol contestants — albeit not very successfully. C om piled from w ire reports P t£ G ¿ XL.

His own teammate and fellow outfielder, Carson Kainer, had higher marks this season in bat­ ting average, doubles, RBIs and fielding percentage. But Stubbs brought much more to the field during his junior year than numbers. They don't tell the story of what he really did for the Longhorns this season. They don't fully describe the legs that led the Big 12 in steals this season (23) or the countless bases that weren't counted as stolen, but were still taken when other players couldn't have come close. He made opposing teams flut­ ter countless times just as he did in Friday's game against Texas- Arlington when he even caused the Maverick pitcher to balk when he was on first. But his speed on offense wasn't as productive or game-changing as what he did on defense. What Longhorn faithful may not have noticed were the habitual plays that Kainer and right fielder Kyle Russell made because of the player between them. A ball hit down the foul line rarely got past the Longhorn out­ field, because Kainer and Russell were never far away. With Stubbs roaming center field, the Longhorn outfielders didn't always have to space evenly. Stubbs arguably cov­ ered more ground than any other outfielder in the country. Stubbs' statistics also fail to show the other intangibles he added to the Longhorns in the dugout. He grew significantly as a play­ er since he first put on the burnt- orange No. 13. He's always had the physical skills, but maturity and knowledge of the game took time to acquire. His most recent development was patience and selflessness at the plate. After passing on the chance to play professional ball, Stubbs understood what it meant to be a leader. It wasn't his high batting aver­ age or legs of Justin Gatlin, but the recognition that Texas is never out of a game. Texas didn't make it back to Omaha this season, and its star center fielder will most likely play professional ball. No more chants, no more stand­ ing ovations and no more assum­ ing that every ball hit to center field will be an out. So those who ever watched him play, don't remember his 2-for-13 performance during the postsea­ son. Remember everything else he did for the Longhorns because you can't judge him by numbers. There's no statistical category for character. Curtain Closes on Cat, Texas Astros lose another to Reds HOUSTON — Ryan Freel hit his second homer of the game in the 11th inning to lift the Cincinnati Reds over the Houston Astros 6-4 Sunday, completing a three-game sweep. Freel's two-out, two-run homer off Russ Springer com­ pleted the first multihomer game of his career. David Ross, who drew a pinch-hit walk, scored on Freel's drive to left. Todd Coffey (3-0) allowed two hits and one run in the 10th inning for Cincinnati, which swept a series in Houston for the first time since June 1999. It also breaks a streak of seven straight series losses in Houston for the Reds. Felipe Lopez hit an RBI double in the 10th inning to put Cincinnati ahead 4-3 before Chris Burke's run-scor­ ing double in the bottom half tied it. Burke also singled in a run in the eighth to tie the game at 3. Burke's double in the 10th off Coffey scored Craig Biggio, who reached by hitting his 625th career double to pass Hank Aaron for ninth on the career list. Esteban Yan, acquired from the Angels on Tuesday, got his first save after allowing one hit in the 11th. Eric Munson grounded into double play to end the game. Dan Wheeler (0-4) gave up one hit and two runs in 1 1-3 innings for the loss. -Associated Press UCLA upset by Northwestern One day after knocking Texas out of the Women's College World Series for the third time in four years, the UCLA Bruin softball team suffered a 3-1 loss to Northwestern in extra innings. With Northwestern up 1 -0 in the bottom of the seventh inning, UCLA pinch hitter Kristen Dedmon drove in the tying run on a two out, two- strike blooper into left field. But before the Bruins could group themselves together for extra innings, the Wildcats came up with heroics of their own. Facing UCLA ace Anjelica Selden, Northwestern fired back-to-back home runs in the top of the eighth inning to put them ahead 3-1 for good. The homers, fired by Tammy Williams and Garland Cooper, helped put the Wildcats into the championship for the first time in the school's history. Northwestern will face Arizona in the champion­ ship series which begins on Monday. Arizona will look for a seventh national title in its 11th championship series appearance in the World Series'25-year history. - A n u p Sh ah Scoreboard W om en's College World Series Tennessee 1, Arizona 0 Arizona 6, Tennessee 0 Northwestern 3, UCLA 1 Major League Baseball Cincinnatti 6, Houston 4 Texas 10, Chi White Sox 2 St. Louis 9, Chi Cubs 6 San Francisco 7, NY Mets 6(12) Arizona 9, Atlanta 3 Boston 8, Detroit 3 Baltimore 11, NY Yankees 4 Florida 4, Colorado 3 Philadelphia 6, LA Dodgers 4 Kansas City 9, Seattle 4 Oakland 5, Minnesota 1 San Diego 1, Pittsburgh 0 Tampa Bay 10, Toronto 5 By Mark A. Hodgkin Daily Texan Staff OKLAHOMA CITY — A sea­ son that started with champion­ ship expectations came to an end Saturday night in Oklahoma City, when the No. 3 Texas Longhorns bowed out of the Women's College World Series with a 2-0 loss to No. 1 UCLA. For the third time in as many trips to the Women's College World Series, the Bruins ended the Longhorns' season, but this time they also ended the illustri­ ous career of Cat Osterman. "Credit UCLA, fantastic club," Texas coach Connie Clark said. "They came to play. They were great tonight." Anjelica Selden (35-6) out- dueled Osterman (38-4) to earn her second victory of the day. UCLA dropped their first game of the World Series to Tennessee, and had to beat Alabama ear­ lier Saturday to gamer the night matchup with Texas. In an effort to kick-start an offense that had been stagnant the first two games, Clark shuf­ fled her lineup. MicKayla Padilla was inserted as designated player for freshman Kacie Gaskin, who was hitting only .222 in the NCAA Tournament. Shannon Thomas was moved from the ninth spot in the batting order to the sixth. The moves, however, bore no fruit as Padilla went 0-for-2 and Texas was unable to get a ball out of the infield. UCLA, however, didn't wait long to jump ahead. In the third inning, Andrea Duran knocked a sinking liner into right field. Right fielder Amber Hall charged and dove for it but missed, and the ball rolled to the wall. Cutoff-man Desiree Williams threw a strike to catcher Megan Willis that appeared to be in time, but Willis couldn't hold on, and Duran brought in an inside-the-park home run. "The ball was hit, and I thought I had a chance at it, so I put it on the line right there," Hall said. "We tried, and it just didn't work out." An inning later, catcher Emily Zaplatosch took an Osterman offering over the left-center field wall to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead. Spotted with the advantage, Selden held down the lead in the late innings, striking out six hit­ ters in a row from the fourth to sixth innings. Osterman's final pitch for Texas was a called strike three to Danielle Peterson. Her final line was seven innings, five hits, two earned runs and nine strikeouts. "It's emotional," a somber Osterman said after the game. "But only one team can go out with a win. It didn't happen for us, but my team gave it all they had, and 1 gave it all I had. I left it all out there." After the game, Osterman's coaches and teammates heaped praise on the senior, who will cer- Multim ediav See Website for an interactive feature tainly rank as one of the game's all-time greats. "What an ambassador for the sport," Clark said of Osterman. "I couldn't be any more proud to have someone like that come through our program." The game also marked the end of line for fellow seniors Tina Boutelle, Chez Sievers, Jaclyn Daniels and Hall. "I could not be any prouder of the senior class," Clark said. "We had a great time, competed well this year. It's tough to go out on this note." Texas finished the season with a 55-9 record, a program record for victories. Arizona 2, Texas 0 Texas w as handed their first loss of the WCWS by rival Arizona on Friday in a 2-0 defeat. The runs came in a sixth inning that only saw one hit against Osterman. Leadoff hitter Caitlin Lowe was hit by Osterman before stealing second base. With two outs, Osterman pitched around Arizona's dangerous No. 3-hitter Kristie Fox.

Joey Castillo Daily Texan Staff By Mark A. Hodgkin Daily Texan Columnist OKLAHOMA CITY — This year was supposed to be different for Cat Osterman. This year, the Longhorns were sup­ posed to give her the offensive support she had so desperately needed in her two previous trips to the Women's College World Series. But after Shannon Thomas' ground ball was snagged by UCLA pitcher Anjelica Selden and the Longhorns were eliminated from the Women's College World Series, Osterman's dream of a title were dashed. A NCAA Championship is the only thing missing from Osterman's illustri­ ous resume, which includes four All- America teams, three USA Softball Player of the Year awards, and an Olympic Gold Medal. "I think I would feel like my career was 110 percent, absolutely complete if I went out with a ring," Osterman said before the season. "No matter what, I will be very excited with how my career went." Saturday, after her career at Texas has ended, she should feel very excited about her career. One of the most overplayed story lines in sports is the great athlete who failed to get a ring. Osterman not only deserves to be proud of her career and her legacy, but the University needs to appreciate and honor it. Her No. 8 jersey should be retired next year. Her career numbers are staggering: 136 wins (fourth all-time), 85 shutouts (second all-time) and 2,256 strikeouts (an NCAA record). Osterman's troubles in the College World Series were hardly her own doing. In her two prior Wofben's College World Series appearances (2003 and 2005), Osterman had gone 4-3 with a 0.92 earned run average. In flat time, texas went 4-4 scoring only nine runs. In Texas' two WCWS losses, it failed to score a single run. Her final numbers at the WCWS: 5-5 with a 0.93 ERA. But Osterman's perceived annoyance, even bitterness, at her team's offensive struggles are overblown. "I'm the one in the clubhouse who tells it like it is, and I don't care how you take it," she said. "Sometimes it's good, and sometimes I come off the wrong way." Some bristled when she said "We still have to score runs, and that didn't hap­ pen," after losing to Arizona, but the scene following the UCLA game showed there is genuine affection between Osterman and her teammates. Osterman exchanged hugs with her teammates following the final out, and cried on fellow pitcher Meagan Dalny's shoulder. In the post-game press confer­ ence, catcher Megan Willis broke into tears when asked how it felt to have caught Cat for the final time. Osterman has by all accounts grown greatly on and off the field during the five years she attended Texas. She brought Texas softball to new heights and rose the popularity of the sport in general. As Coach Connie Clark said, she is an "ambassador of the game." She plans on training with the national team and would someday like to get into coach­ ing. 1 hope (and believe) that this is not the last we hear of Cat Osterman: Texas needs her and the sport needs her.
