Michael Broadbent/ Daily Texan Staff Christina Tambakakls/Daily Texan Staff The Route 101 North Lamar/South Congress Ltd., one of about 40 routes affected by Capital Metro’s largest service improvements in decades, has been extended along South Congress between downtown and the South Transfer Center at Bluff Springs and William Cannon. Crosstown, nonstop services offered among new additions By Michael Taylor Daily Texan Staff Capital Metro began implementing their most extensive bus route changes in over 10 years Sunday to make mass transit a more efficient and desirable alternative to driving in Austin. Affecting more than 40 routes, changes include more express and nonstop routes as well as initial stages of a five-year plan to orient routes around planned park-and-ride facilities. Ted Burton, public relations manager for Capital Metro, said the old method of designing bus routes around a central hub is not as efficient for Austin's ever-growing commuting population. "The way the system was designed, many of the routes go downtown before heading out, like spokes on a wheel," Burton said. "Customers told us they wanted more crosstown service, and that's service that doesn't have to go downtown before it reaches its destination." Burton added that Capital Metro expects to break ground on a major park-and-ride site in Northwest Austin this fall. Route 101, also known as the North Lamar/South Congress Limited and a favorite of UT students, may provide service as much as 20 percent faster than its predecessor on its way from the Worth Lamar Transit Center. Service will be as much as 25 percent faster on its way from the South Transfer Center at William Cannon Drive and Interstate Highway 35, Burton said. The bus follows the same route as Route 1, but stops less frequently. The Leander Express provides an example of a new direct option for com­ muters tired of the heavily congested U.S. Highway 183 from Leander, where a park-and-ride lot exists. The route has been divided into five differ­ ent routes, including nonstop and limited-stop service to and from the University and the downtown district. Rob Smith, director of strategic planning and development for Capital Metro, said it is the first time this service has been available. 8m BUS, Page 2 Watson may run for state attorney general Austin mayor expected to announce decision on candidacy early this week By Devin Griffiths Daily Texan Staff Austin Mayor Kirk Watson will announce early this week whether or not he will leave the city's top post to run for state attorney general. Margaret Justus, who coordinates the mayor's informal campaign preparations, said Friday that Watson would spend the weekend with his family and make his final decision. She said he would announce that (decision early this week. Watson was unavailable for comment. Justus said published reports last week that stated the mayor would run were premature because his plans could have changed over the weekend. Harvey Kronberg, editor and publisher of the Quorum Rqjort, a state political newsletter, said Watson's bridge-building reputation — earned by courting disparate business, environmental and law enforcement groups — make Watson the most attractive Democratic candidate. • Mayor Kirk Watson must resign his posi­ tion if he enters the attorney general race. "If Watson gets in next week, he'll have a free ride in the Democratic primaries," Kronberg said. Kronberg said Watson might also be betting that current Attorney General John Comyn, a Republican, will leave his post to run for the U.S. Senate, if Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, retires next year. Despite Gramm's repeated claim that he will seek another term, political observers have speculated Gramm wants to abandon a Senate now held by Democrats. A July poll by Montgomery & Associates, an Austin-based market research firm, placed Watson behind two other potential Democratic can­ didates for attorney general. Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk won with 15.4 percent in a five-way heat with Texas Rep. Paul Sadler, D-Henderson, edging out Watson for second with 12.3 percent to Watson's 11.8 percent. However, the poll had a 3 per­ cent margin of error and 42.7 percent said they were undecided. Neither Kirk nor Sadler h c 'e indicated whether they will run for attor­ ney general.

The new TeXercise pass allows students and RecSports members to choose from an array of class­ es ranging from physical-fitnessroriented aerobics to more mind- and spirit-focused activities such as yoga and tai chi for $50. RecSports to meet high demand with less expensive, all-inclusive fitness pass By Elizabeth Taylor Daily Texan Staff ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ mm A new UT Recreational Sports pro­ gram offers students the chance to get their minds as well as their bodies back in shape for fall. The new TeXercise pass allows stu­ dents and RecSports members to choose from an a r r a y of classes ranging from physical fitness-oriented aerobics to more mind- and spirit-focused activ­ ities such as yoga and tai chi. The $50 pass replaces UT Fit and Mind /Body, two RécSports passes that until now had been offered separately, for $45 each. People interested in both genres of fitness had to pay $75 for a combination pass if they wanted to take classes offered across both programs. "It's a much better deal for students because it's only $50 a semester for both," said Kristin Hanks, RecSports' assistant marketing director. "It used to be that people were either interested in straight aerobics or yoga. Now, there's so much cross-over, people are wanting to take both kinds." In the past tw o-and-a-half years, sales for M ind/Body passes have dou­ bled. Jennifer Speer, the director of RecSports' Fitness/W ellness program who designed the TeXercise pass, said the increased enrollment in M ind/Body classes such as yoga, Tai Chi and Nia spurred the change. "We were the only university that didn't offer an all-for-one pass," Speer said. "We re-evaluated our programs and realized that there was a much eas­ ier way to do things than what we were doing, that would also be much more customer-friendly."

Bill Ratliff said Friday he will run for the Senate seat he has held since 1988 — making what he assured was his last political announcement of the summer. Ratliff, R-Mt. Pleasant, was nar­ rowly elected lieutenant governor by the Senate last December. He began the summer by announcing he would seek a full term as lieu­ tenant governor in the 2002 election only to withdraw from the race 10 days later, saying he was uncom­ fortable with the compromises nec­ essary to be a viable candidate in a statewide race. The lieutenant governor position, widely considered the most power­ ful office in Texas politics, was left open when former Gov. George W. Bush was elected president, a move causing then-Lt. Gov. Rick Perry to assume the position of governor. to his constituents Before he declared his plans to the rest of the state, Ratliff had made the announcem ent Friday morning in Kilgore, who have "spoiled" him by trusting he will not play the game of partisan poli­ tics at their expense. Their trust made it difficult to refuse, when asked by friends and constituents to seek another term, Ratliff said. says he Former state representative Jerry Yost is expected to challenge Ratliff in the district's GOP primary. Ratliff said the state faces a tough next legislative session with the possibility of high turnovers in both houses due to redistricting and the possibility of a new lieutenant gov­ ernor who has never served in the Senate. "M aybe this is not a good session to walk away," R atliff said. "The Senate may need a little gray hair, and I feel like this m ay be a session where I could contribute even more than I have in the past."

Ethics Commission postpones opinion on signing bonuses By Devin Griffiths Daily Texan Staff The Texas Ethics Commission voted Friday to postpone a controversial adviso­ ry opinion that could affect the ability of thousands of state employees to find work in the private sector. The opinion, which will now be rew rit­ ten, will address growing concern over Texas law clerks who receive sometim es exorbitant bonuses of up to $50,000 from future employers. However, the law under examination — Section 36 of the state penal code — applies to thousands of pub­ lic servants, including law clerks, adm in­ istrators, judges and state representatives. The law allows benefits given through personal or professional relationships — as long as the benefits have nothing to do with the individual's job as a public ser­ vant. Any ruling by the commission could affect all of these state employees. For instance, it might prevent part-time state employees from holding down a second job. The Ethics Com m ission board tabled an opinion dealing with law clerk bonuses because of a tum ultuous media response to a draft of the opinion — variously inter­ preted as both condoning and condemn­ ing current signing-bonus practices. The issue, which gained coverage dur­ ing the last legislative session, deals with a common practice in which law firms "compensate" clerks who work for state judges with a signing bonus that is some­ times given while the clerk is working for the state.

Web Capital Metro to seek public input in planning for schedule changes Feb. 10 BUS, from 1 "The goal there is to cut the travel time from Leander to downtown and encourage more peo­ ple to use the bus," Smith said. Sm ith added that the changes will increase the frequency of buses on many routes, w hich allow s for more efficien t tran sfers betw een buses and makes the bus a more dependable and more timely means of transportation. Joe Bouldwin, a certified nurse who lives in Northwest Austin and works in South Austin, said the change in Route 383 means an extra 20- minute walk to the bus stop in the m orning and 20 minutes home after work. He said adding additional buses to provide an express service makes sense, but elim inating stops that people depend on without their input is wrong. "For the people who ride the bus every single day and depend on it to get to work or w herev­ I think it's very im portant er they need to go, that they not just make changes like that but they need to at least explain the changes they've m ade," Bouldw in said.

He added that customers can soon give their input for the next scheduled changes Feb. 10.

Specifically, Oden requested that the opinion clearly exp lain the h yp oth etical situation w here it applies. The com m ission has been asked to d ecid e w h ether state clerks can receive a bonus if the bonus has nothing to do with their job as a clerk. Several board m em bers expressed their discom fort w ith the question because they think it would be diffi­ cult to prove w hether a bonus relat­ ed to a clerk's job. C om m issioner Lem A llen Sr., chairman of the eth ics board, said he feared the opinion could be used to make broad changes in how the state penal code is interpreted. "I don't think, as an appointed commission, we should be passing law," Allen said. C hris Feld m an , a law y er w ith Texans for Public Ju stice, a nonprof­ it, nonpartisan p o litica l o v ersig h t group, said that the com m ission's draft of the opinion, requested by a law firm, could be used as legal am m u nition sig n in g - bonus situations that, involve con­ to d efen d flicts o f interest. "W e're concerned that the o p in ­ ion, as drafted, w ill let the cam el's nose under the te n t," Feldm an said. O den argued that bonuses w ould be legal u nd er cu rrent law if they w ere given to all new hires by the law firm , w ith no regard to w heth er the hire w as a clerk from a state judge or a new law -school g rad uate. O den also said clerks w ho receive bonuses could still have a co n flict of in terest even if they did not w ork on cases d ealing w ith the com pany that gave them the bonus. For instan ce, if a clerk w as given a hiring bonus by an oil com pany, it w ould not be enough to keep them from w orking on cases dealing w ith that com pany, because any oil and gas case they d ealt w ith m ight have ram ifications that could b en efit the oil company. But C hris G riesel, rules attorney private sector for the Texas Suprem e C ourt, told the com m ission that it had long con ­ doned gifts and bonuses to public servants in other contexts. G riesel said that because the penal law affects up to 50,000 public ser­ vants, there w as a danger that a ru l­ ing against signing bonuses would make these servants "ra d io a ctiv e" to private com p anies — perhaps even from p rev en tin g in terv iew in g o th er clerk s ad m in istrato rs w ho w ork for the state. co m p an ies and the U ltim ately , the board voted to postpone the opinion decision, send ­ ing it back to the' com m ission staff for clarification.

The study pub­ lished Monday in the Archives o f Internal Medicine included 3 63 men and 330 women between the ages of 2 9 and 34. It compared wine drinkers and beer drinkers, those who abstain and those who drink both. Tedd Goldfinger, a cardiologist in Tucson, Ariz., said the benefits of drink­ ing wine should not be discounted, argu­ ing that alcohol can decrease the ten­ dency of blood to clot and cause heart attacks, and raise good cholesterol lev­ els. But the American Heart Association’s Nutrition Committee have said wine is not the m ost proven way to improve heart health. They suggest the time-honored practices of eating well, exercising regu­ larly and maintaining a healthy weight. But that doesn’t mean there are no health benefits to moderate wine con­ sumption, and you don’t need to be rich to enjoy them, Goldfinger said. "You don’t have to go out and spend $20 or $3 0 on a bottle o f wine,” Goldfinger said. He said a cheaper one Will do. The Associated Press ’ .... ......... ......

"Israel cannot tol­ erate this trail of terror." In the West Bank dty of Hebron, 7-year-old Sapareen Abu Sneineh died of a gunshot wound to the head, hospital staff said. Palestinian security sources said she was hit by gunfire from Israeli troops. The Israeli military had no immediate infor­ mation on any Palestinian casualties, but said there had been extensive exchanges of gunfire _ W & N B r iefs Taliban milita charge foreign aid groups of promoting Christianity KABUL, Afghanistan — A week after jailing eight foreigners on charges of propagating Christianity, the ruling Taliban militia on Sunday said they suspect a larger conspiracy by Western aid organizations to convert Afghan Muslims. Taliban investigators have uncovered consid­ erable evidence of large-scale conversion attempts and want to question other foreign aid including the U.N. World Food groups, Program, Taliban Foreign Minister Wakil Ahmed Muttawakil told reporters in the Afghan capital. "Unfortunately, some organizations under the guise of helping poor Afghans are preaching Christianity," Muttawakil said. The Taliban, who espouse a harsh brand of Islam that considers trying to convert Muslims a crime, arrested eight foreign workers and 16 Afghan staff with Shelter Now International on Aug. 5 for allegedly preaching Christianity. The group is part of a German-based Christian group called Vision for Asia. Among those arrested were two American women, four Germans and two Australians. Armey crusades against the practice of high-tech snooping WASHINGTON — House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, a champion of conserva­ tive causes believes government has been too quick to embrace technology that he says infringes on Americans' private lives. And he is consorting on the issue with the American Civil Liberties Union. "I believe that as little intercourse with the government as is necessary is what we are enti­ tled to in America," Armey said. Together, he and the ACLU recently criticized government use of technology that digitizes video images of faces and checks them against photos of people wanted by police. Armey has become Congress' foremost critic of high-tech snooping: —A study by Armey's office of largely anec­ dotal evidence, drew publicity for posing the theory that yellow lights had been shortened so red-light cameras would nab more violators, producing more revenue for local governments. the General Accounting Office is investigating the use of federal funds by state and local governments for face-recognition technology. —At Armey's request, —When the National Park Service said it would use cameras in northern Virginia to pho­ tograph and mail tickets to drivers caught speeding on George Washington Parkway, A rm e/ s protests kept the cameras turned off. Due to war, Congo succumbs to malnutrition and disease KONGOLO, Congo — Surrounded by a vast jungle and the ruthless Mayi Mayi militia, Kongolo has been cut off from the rest of Congo by the 3-year-old civil war and its people are succumbing to malnutrition and disease. Kongolo's 50,000 residents have only one link to the outside world — relief planes. Land links are unusable, the railroad wrecked, bridges destroyed and the road too dangerous because of the Mayi Mayi. The latest war in Congo began in August their 1998, when Rwanda, Uganda and Congolese rebel allies took up arms against then-President Laurent Kabila, accusing him of nepotism, warmongering and backing Rwandan and Ugandan rebels. Zimbabwe, Angola and Namibia sent soldiers and military hardware to support Kabila's army. Factions of Mayi Mayi — uncoordinated, trib- ally based warriors fighting for local autonomy — have fought on both sides. The Mayi Mayi around Kongolo support the government, which provides weapons and sup­ plies. Under a peace agreement that has ended fighting between regular troops, Congo's gov­ ernment is supposed to disarm the Mayi Mayi, but they have kept fighting. The New York-based International Rescue Committee estimates 2.5 million people have died in rebel-held eastern Congo during the war. Compiled from Associated Press reports By The Associated Press JERUSALEM — A suicide bomber blew himself up on the patio of a restaurant near the northern Israeli coastal town of Haifa, killing himself and wounding up to 20 people, Israeli authorities said. The bombing resembled a Palestinian sui­ cide attack Thursday at a Jerusalem pizzeria that killed 15 and wounded about 100. However, in that attack the assailant went inside, and his bomb sprayed shrapnel and nails throughout the densely packed restau­ rant. In Sunda/s attack, the bomber set off his explosives on the patio outside the restaurant, shredding an awning, overturning tables and chairs and leaving the patio of the Wall Street Cafe covered with blood. Almost all of the injuries in Su n da/s blast were light, according to police and rescue workers in Kiryat Motzkin, a suburb north of Haifa, about 50 miles north of Tel Aviv. Cafe owner Aharon Roseman said he saw the bomber approach and light a fuse that was strapped to his body. "I grabbed a chair and threw it at him, and ran behind a wall, and that's what saved me," he told Israel radio. Islamic Jihad, the radical group that has claimed many previous bombings, said its activist Muhammad Nasser, 28, carried out Sunda/s attack. Nasser had worked for the Palestinian secu­ rity forces until he left six weeks ago. Since then, "he said often that he wanted to become a martyr," Nasser's father Mahmoud, said at the family home in Qabatya, in the northern West Bank. "Our fighter was able to penetrate into the Murder trial starts for ringleader of Texas escapees By The Associated Press DALLAS — The key witness in the capital murder trial of prison escapee George Rivas could be the defendant himself. Rivas, one of six convicts accused of killing Irving police officer Aubrey Hawkins on Christmas Eve, is considering testifying in his own defense. Legal experts say that is a risky move. Opening statements in the trial are set for Monday morning before state District Judge Molly Francis. "It's very, very rare for a defendant to testify," said Tarrant County assistant district attorney Alan Levy, who is not involved in the case. "That leads to wide-open cross-examination. We can spend a long time talking about his criminal history" Defense attorney Wayne Huff has asked Francis to let Rivas tes­ tify without fadng Dallas County prosecutors' questions about his criminal record. Rivas was serving 99 years for aggravated kidnapping and burglary when he and six others escaped Dec. 13 from the Connally Unit near the small town of Kenedy in south Texas. Huff also wants Francis to throw out his client's 21-page police statement confessing to the murder. Huff says the statement was illegally obtained. Dallas defense attorney Barry Sorrells, who is not involved in the case, said it is Rivas' decision whether to testify, but he would advise against it. However; if it's obvious the jury is going to impose the death penalty, the defense may take that chance in hopes of getting a life sentence instead, he said. "If the ship is sinking and there is nothing to lose, I might say 'Get up there and do the best you can.' " But don't expect jurors to be swayed by excuses or admissions of remorse, Levy said. "He looks and talks like a criminal," he said. "I don't think he's going to be pulling on any heart strings." For Jayne Hawkins, the mother of the slain police officer, Rivas' presence on the witness stand may be more than she can bear. "I don't know if I can manage to go and see his face," she said. "I'd have to sit there like a stone and not react." Hawkins' widow, Lori, is expected to attend parts of the trial and may testify for the prosecution. A jury of six men and six women, along with two female alter­ nates, has been seated for the trial. Rivas told reporters after his capture that he fired some of the shots that killed Hawkins, who was responding to a reported rob­ bery of a sporting goods store on Christmas Eve. The inmates escaped from the prison in Kenedy, about 60 miles south of San Antonio, on Dec. 13. One man committed suicide rather than surrender when captured in Colorado six weeks later. The five others also will be tried individually for the slaying and also face the death penalty. Last week, an attorney representing Hawkins' parents, wife and other relatives sued the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, saying negligence led to the escape of the prisoners.

OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR Bush stands firm on stem cell decision Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Bush will stand by his deci­ sion to limit federal funding for embryonic stem cell research regardless of what scientific breakthroughs may occur, two administration officials said Sunday. As Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson and White House chief of staff Andrew Card went on television to discuss Bush's decision, a leading researcher and a Republican senator questioned whether it would slow the race for cures for Alzheimer's and other diseases. Bush announced last Thursday that he will limit federal funding for embryonic stem cell research to stem cell lines already in existence. The government will not fund research on stem cell lines created after his announcement. "Caution is demanded, because second thoughts will come too late," Bush wrote in an editorial published Sunday in The New York Times. Appearing on NBC's Meet tlie Press, Thompson said the more than 60 embryonic stem cell lines identified by the National Institutes of Health are enough to achieve the basic research needed to continue pursuing cures for juvenile dia­ betes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other diseases. He said Bush will stand by his decision regardless of what scientists may discover. He estimated that stem cell researchers are three to five years from any breakthroughs. concerned wheñ we will need more lines, what happens then," Gearhart sard on CBS' Face the Nation. "And I do flunk it will be sooner rather than later." Leon Kass, a University of Chicago bioethidst heading a Bush-appointed panel monitoring stem cell research, said the existing lines should last at least a decade. If they prove insufficient, "I think that7 s a serious question and we will have to revisit it," Kass said on CBS. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said he and Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa are sponsoring legislation to broaden the fed­ eral funding of stem cell research to include discarded embryos from in-vitro fertilization. He said it will be an issue when Congress returns next month. Specter said he, too, is skeptical that the existing stem cell lines will be enough. "Every day we lose, we're losing lives," he said on CBS. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, also said she would have gone further than Bush. But, 'Tm not sure this is the time to do that because I think we ought to see if this is suffi­ cient," she said on CNN's Late Edition. Rep. J.C. Watts, R-Okla., praised the limits set by Bush. "There's just too many areas that are inconclusive out there for us to get on a slippery slope to say we should take life in order to enhance life," he said on CNN. Many abortion opponents, including Roman Catholic lead­ "This president will not equivocate," Thompson said. "He ers, think Bush went too far. made a very strong statement on that." "We think there's more than enough lines for this embry­ onic stem cell research to go forward," added Card, appear­ ing on Fox News Sunday. But Dr. John Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore questioned whether those stem cell lines, about half of which are at U.S. laboratories, will be enough. "We know that there is a shelf life to these, and we are very Joseph A. Fiorenza, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, said on ABC's This Week that "For the government to allow funding for this experiment makes the government complidt in what we consider to be wrongdoing." Thompson, a Catholic, said Bush's decision is moral because it will only allow federally financed research on embryos that had been destroyed by tire time of his announcement.

The American Psychological Association says women are twice more likely than men to be depressed. And if s no wonder, consid­ ering everything women deal with: sexual harassment, rape, stalkers, domestic abuse, eating disorders, etc. But according to the 2000 "Women's Voices" poll by the Center for Policy Alternatives, the number one worry for women today is money. With stem cell research behind him for now, President Bush is moving toward selling his next big decision: privatizing Social Security. Under this plan, the baby boom generation would still receive guar­ anteed Social Security benefits. Young workers would invest up to 2 percent of funds withheld for payroll tax, which now go into Social Security, in the stock market. The result? Future retirees will pay for both their parents' guaranteed benefits and their own private accounts, work until they're blind, and then receive less benefits when they do retire. Women especially can not afford this legislation. their male peers, Nearly 40 years after Congress passed the Pay Equity Act, which barred employ­ ers from paying female employees less than the average American man still makes 60 percent more than the average woman, according to Census 2000 Supplemental Survey numbers. The wage gap is due in part to job seg- WJoat privatizing proponents are really asking is fo r the younger generation to give up guaranteed lifetime protection against inflation legation. Women constitute the majority of lower paying service-oriented fields, including nursing, teaching and social work. In addition, corporate glass ceilings stop women short of achieving top execu­ tive positions. In addition, many women take time off from their careers to care for their families, while most men work through their adult lives. So, if the president changes Social Security from a shared security plan, into a private investment plan, women will be at a clear disadvantage, with less money to invest for a secure retirement. And in the event of a divorce, a woman who has ded­ icated most, if not all of her life to raising a family, would have nothing. Her hus­ band's private account would be an asset, and whoever could afford a better lawyer would also enjoy a better retirement. Currently, women who spent most of their careers at home, receive lifetime, inflation-adjusted benefits based on their husband's earnings. After 10 years of mar­ riage, divorced women also receive a share of their husband's benefits. Social Security is progressively weighted for low-wage workers. And since 75 percent of poor Americans are women and chil­ dren, privatizing Social Security would hurt them most. Privatization supporters warn that Social Security will fail in 15 years, and that Social Security's trust fund is made of IOUs or "paper" bonds. This means the government would borrow from itself, and taxpayers would repay the loan, either through higher taxes or through cuts in government programs. They claim everyone benefits from privatization because it lets Americans "own" their retirement fund, and yields more money than Social Security benefits. What they don't mention is that other solutions exist. It is true that in 15 years, because of the large baby boom genera­ tion, the government will be spending more on Social Security than it will take in from payroll taxes. But instead of threat­ ening middle America with tax increases or cut programs, why not increase the earnings cap on payroll taxes, which exempts people who earn over $80,000 from paying payroll taxes? The govern­ ment could also restore the estate tax on the wealthy, which President Bush repealed, and use that revenue for Social Security. More their argument assumes everyone equally earns enough money to save and invest, and offers no protection for those who don't. It assumes a steady or growing market. It also ignores how investment firms' fees for m a n a g in g private accounts would consume a big portión of workers' returns. It also down­ plays the Commission's acknowledge­ ment that it may in turn cut benefits and raise the retirement age. importantly, What privatizing proponents are really asking is for the younger generation to give up guaranteed lifetime protection against inflation, in exchange for an unsta­ ble market. They are promoting less shared security, for more individual risk. Even the president doesn't know how future retirees will fare. In response to a question as to whether upcoming generations would manage as well under his plan as the current one, The Nation quoted President Bush's confident reply: "Maybe, maybe not."

Watson will have some serious obstacles to over­ come, namely the wealth and name-recognition of current Attorney General John Comyn. While Comvn has a long history of being cozy with business inter­ ests, Watson has demonstrated his own propensity for warm and fuzzy relationships with corporate factions (the Fortune 500 fiasco on campus last Spring was a prime example). One need only look at the cranes and construction that dot downtown to realize the impact of Watson's tenure on a once-sleepy Austin. Watson will soon have a real fight on his hands. Until recently Cornyn has shown a remarkable ability to gamer positive press while taking some controver­ sial positions. Some of Com yn's most questionable actions involved his dealings with the Republican Attorneys General Association and private donations from companies with cases in front of state courts. In addition, Com yn's recent work on the Legislative Redistricting Board hasn't gone unnoticed by a broad coalition of Texans critical of the partisan and secre­ tive manner in which the LRB's maps were formulat­ ed. Cornyn recently found himself having to be escorted out of an East Texas meeting due to a per­ ceived threat from senior citizens angry with the redistricting maps put out by the LRB. If he decides to run, Watson may have a difficult campaign. But with his opponent being heckled out of meetings by the elderly, things are definitely looking up. A Matter of State Pride Thousands of state legislators descended on San Antonio this weekend for the National Convention of State Legislatures, and where there are politicians in Texas, the money is sure to follow. The San Antonio Express-Nezvs reported that Lt. Gov. Bill Ratliff and House Speaker Pete Laney sent out let­ ters to hundreds of corporations, lobbyists and inter­ est groups looking to solicit money for the conven­ tion. One lobbyist offered this explanation for the cor­ porate sponsorship of the event, "You don't want a bunch of legislators from around the country saying, 'What a loser event.' It's a matter of state pride." Sponsorship in the convention ranged from the pal­ try "star contributor" (who only donates about $2,500) all the way to the whopping $100,000 given by the Tigua Indian tribe. Apparently, the rest of corpo­ rate Texas could learn a thing or two about state pride from the Tiguas. Splitting Stem Cells President Bush's compromise on the issue of feder­ al funding for embryonic stem cell research is remi­ niscent of a recent president that was famed for his ability to dodge controversial issues like homosexuals in the military v\ ith ambiguous phrases like "D on't ask, don't tell." The similar!r and Clinton's in The New Yoi Indeed, on !i 'tween Bush's stem cell decision ng of policies sparked an editorial •'s titled "William Jefferson Bush." unpaign trail Bush promised to oppose federa! fu ding for any research involving human embryo But when faced with overwhelming bipartisan support for federal funding on Capitol Hill, Bush was forced to question the advice given to him by Karl Rove and Co. Bush weighed the political fall- out with Catholic and other religious groups if he supported federal funding against further criticisms about his administration being to cozy with the right- wing of the Republican Party — who were among the only opponents of, stem cell research. His solution: Allow federal funding, but only on some stem cells. Very Clinton-esque to say the least. Incidentally, Bush's green light for research on 60 stem cell lines was news to many of the groups sup­ porting embryonic stem cell research who were only aware of 13 or so. , G A L L E R Y 'to**© M0.

You understand that there are problems with the current discourse about social injustice and race relations. You are bold and honest and you share your opinion freely with all those willing to hear it. Your column (Jesse Jackson and cosmic social justice, Aug. 9) was so great that I am still laughing. Here's a really good line about "social crusaders." You w rite that they are "seeking cosmic social justice." Hey, it's alm ost as good as M ichael Jackson singing that when times are hard you have to "straighten up your act and boogie down." Robby you're not a bigot, you're just naive, inexperienced and ignorant. Your bubble hasn't^burst yet (any time now Robby, any time). You seem to believe that injustice is a word buried in a dic­ tionary and that it exists for no apparent reason other than being used by Jesse Jackson in his speeches. To you the consequences of discrimi­ nation and inequality are a "ridiculous" myth. Let me tell you on behalf of the dimwits in the world you refer to as minorities, social injustice is real, it is crippling and the pursuit of change is worth fighting until the end of time. Even in the deepest comers of the cos­ mos. P.S. I triple-dare you to go to East Austin and ask people there what they think about social justice "not [being] worth the effort."

It also was the second time this series. Bagwell and Berkman had consecutive homers Saturday. The long ball played a big role in the Astros' series win at Florida. They hit two homers Friday, three Saturday and then four more Sunday There are no breaks in the lineup there," said starter Matt Clement, who gave up three homers. Clement (7-8) allowed six hits and five runs in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out seven and walked one, but also hit two batters and had two wild pitches. "It was one of those games for me," Q em ent said. "I needed to shut the door, and it never got shut. I feel like I let it get out of hand." Reserves Andy Fox and Mike Redmond gave the Marlins an early lead. Fox hit his first home runs of the sea­ son, a solo shot in the first inning, and Redmond added an inside-the-park homer in the second. With two outs and Wilson on second, a diving Lance Berkman missed Redmond's sinking liner to center. It rolled into the 434-foot comer of the sta­ dium, and the race was on to see if the heavy-footed catcher could get around the bases. Although Redmond stumbled rounding third, he easily beat the relay throw home. He slid headfirst across the plate and stayed there until Wilson picked him up. Tired and breathing heavy Redmond the dugout and sat down on the steps until he got up for a curtain call. trudged into "I just kept running," said Redmond, whose four homers an? a career high. "I tripped twice and just dove into home. That was all I had." Indians trounce Rangers, take over first place in American League Central By The Associated Press ARLINGTON — Omar Vizquel hit two triples and Roberto Alomar drove in four runs as the Cleveland Indians routed the Texas Rangers 13-2 Sunday night to avoid a three-game sweep. C.C. Sabathia (12-4) gave up two runs and three hits over six innings to win for the fifth time in his last six decisions. He struck out seven and walked four as the Indians ended a three-game losing streak. John Rocker, who blew a save Saturday, pitched the ninth. Cleveland took over first place in the AL Central because Minnesota lost their third straight to Tampa Bay ear­ lier in the day. Alomar tripled, doubled and sin­ gled, and Juan Gonzalez drove in three runs as the Indians halted the Rangers' three-game winning streak. Vizquel's two triples were one short of the Cleveland club record. Cleveland took a 2-0 lead in the first with the help of a Texas error; Kenny Lofton led off with a double, went to third on Vizquel's sacrifice bunt, and scored on Alomar's single. Gonzalez followed with a potential inning-ending, double-play grounder to shortstop Alex Rodriguez, but sec­ ond baseman Michael Young dropped Rodriguez's throw for an error. Jim Thome followed with a single to load the bases and Ellis Burks' sac­ rifice fly gave Cleveland a 2-0 lead. Indians manager Charlie Manuel again used the bunt successfully in the second inning for a 3-0 lead. Travis Fryman hit a leadoff double, took third on Einar Diaz's bunt, and Fryman scored on Lofton's sacrifice fly. Rodriguez's RBI double in the third and Young's sacrifice fly in the fourth reduced the deficit to 3-2. Rangers starter Rob Bell (4-2) recov­ ered from a shaky first two innings to pitch four scoreless innings. Bell failed to retire the four batters he faced in the seventh as the Indians increased their lead to 8-2. Bell hit Diaz with a pitch, gave up a single to Lofton, walked Vizqual, then gave up a two-run double to Alomar. Bell allowed seven runs and seven hits over six-plus innings. Gonzalez greeted reliever Mark Petkovsek with a two-run single and Fryman added a sacrifice fly against Kevin Foster later in the seventh to make it 8-2. Consecutive RBI in the eighth by Vizquel and Alomar, and Gonzalez's run-scoring single made it 11-2. triples Scaife makes return after knee injury FOOTBALL, from 10 Wilkins, Boyd moved to DE nervous at first, but I expected that." Scaife showed no signs of his injury, going over the middle to make catches, hopping up immediately and without concern after going to the ground. At times, he even lined up as a slot receiver. Simms in particular is glad to have his "security blanket," as he called Scaife, back in the huddle. "Bo was a guy who, if I ever felt I was in trouble, I could go to," Simms said. "I tell him all the time that when he got hurt, it hurt me j | I more than it hurt him." With half of Saturday's m orning practice ; com pleted, Texas train er Tom McVan I approached Scaife. Not to limit his w ork­ load, though, but to tell him that the mom ent had passed. Scaife had m ade it through the I same point that did him in a year earlier. 4 "The first practice meant a lot to me," Scaife I said. "I told him to let me know when the one- hour mark was, and I was real excited." In an effort to provide depth at the defen­ sive end position, linebackers M arcus Wilkins and Reed Boyd were moved to defensive end during the first day of full- team workputs. Wilkins and Boyd will compete with Jermaine Anderson to back up starters Cory Redding and Kalen Thornton. "We're looking at FOOTBALL ^ S f c T S d ’S not we know they can linebacker play because they have played it for two or three years," Brown said. " We have told Marcus and Reed we can move them back as quickly as we moved them over there." Brown said the team cannot count on the return of O.J. McClintock, who was projected as a second-team defensive end. McClintock is out until at least mid-season after suffering a severe arm injury last month. Maurice Gordon, who played defensive end last season, was shifted inside to defensive end last spring. Injury report Linebacker Tyrone Jones suffered a sprained shoulder on Saturday and did not practice Sunday. Also on Sunday, comerback Monti Collier sprained his right hamstring. Both are consid­ ered day-to-day. Receiver Kyle Shanahan remains sidelined as he recovers from a quadriceps injury but the junior should be ready for the first game of the season. McClintock (arm) and freshman running back Anthony Johnson (foot) remain out, w hile’ freshman defensive backs Rufus Harris and Cedric Griffin returned to action Saturday after sitting out earlier last w eek with minor injuries. Cowboys look for answers after preseason loss to Denver good against the Raiders the previous week couldn't provide the same spark, going 6-of-ll for 48 yards with an interception on an ugly Hail Mary attempt. Anthony Wright, the starter at the end of last season, had another rocky outing playing with the third string. He was 7-of-14 for 58 yards and threw an interception that was returned 48 yards for Denver's final touchdown. "I don't know how the heck we're going to eval­ uate our quarterbacks if we're dropping the ball," Campo said. "We don't have a third receiver. We're going to have to find one — one way or another." Chris Brazzell, Jason Tucker and Damon Hodge were the worst offenders. None capital­ ized on the opportunity provided by the absence of Galloway, Ismail and the injured Wane McGarity, plus injuries to roster hopefuls Bashir Yamini, Jeremaine Copeland and Damon Dunn. On defense, Denver easily exposed the flaw in Dallas' new run-stopping plan of using a safety near the line of scrimmage. "Every time we called a play to stop the run, they audibled to pass, and every time we called a play to stop the pass, they audibled to the run," said linebacker Dat Nguyen, who was so frustrat­ ed that he kicked the ball out of the end zone after Denver's first touchdown, a two-yard pass to a wide-open tight end. The Broncos also confused the Cowboys with play action and bootlegs. The result was Brian Griese completing his first five passes and going 7-of-10 for 91 yards, and Gus Frerotte completing his first seven and finishing ll-of-14 for 103 yards. Dallas couldn't even bail itself out with special • teams, which had to be especially frustrating con­ sidering they had several practices dedicated to it in Wichita Falls — something they won't be doing in Oxnard. Denver quarterback Brian Griese (14) hands off to Gary Olandis (22) Saturday in the Broncos 20- 6 win over the D allas Cowboys. A ssociated Press temperatures in Wichita Falls. Coaches might want to consider taking advan­ tage of the weather to extend practices. Players need the work. On offense, the Cowboys converted just one first down on the two series led by quarterback Tony Banks. It didn't seem to be his fault, though, as two of his four incompletions were dropped and his only completion was a perfectly thrown slant. Receivers weren't much better with Quincy Carter at quarterback. The rookie who looked so By The Associated Press IRVING — After showing serious flaws in their second preseason game, the Dallas Cowboys have plenty to work on when they open the sec­ ond half of training camp Monday in California. Fhe Cowboys did little right on offense, defense and special teams in a 20-6 loss to the Denver Broncos before a half-full Texas Stadium on Saturday night. "I think we went backwards a little bit," safety George Teague said. f hat's an ominous sign for a team coming off a 5-11 season that also lost its preseason opener. Dallas has lost eight straight preseason games and 16 of 17. I he Cowboys' only good news coming out of the Denver game was not having any serious injuries and knowing that several of their best players didn't play Receivers Joey Galloway and Raghib Ismail were missed the most. Both are likely to make their preseason debuts Saturday against New Orleans. Emmitt Smith also may see his first action. Still, Dallas coaches expected a crisper per­ formance after three weeks of training camp. "The biggest thing is we've got to look at things on film and work to get better at everything we do, coach Dave Campo said. "This is a young football team. We're not going to walk out there and bt^ good. We've got to work on the little things." Maybe the 30-degree drop in temperature from Wichita Falls to Oxnard, Calif., will help. The Cowboys resume workouts Monday evening in that Pacific Coast town at the facility the Raiders used when they were in Los Angeles. The forecast calls for high temperatures between 69 and 73.

At least for now. Texas earned five first place votes and landed a No. 5 preseason ranking, its highest since it began the season at No. 3 in 1983. But head coach Mack Brown dis­ missed the lofty ranking as meaning "absolutely nothing." "I realize that nobody knows who should be rated in early-season and it's a beauty contest," Brown said. "It's a farce. It's to sell papers and get hype for preseason." Even though Brown doesn't seem to care what number Texas starts as, he is happy the Horns are being mentioned as a national title contender. "If we are going to be rated high, that's a good thing because if we were rated 50th I would probably be on the chopping block," Brown said. "I've told our players I like it and it's great that we've gotten that respect." Florida tops the poll, with Miami, Oklahoma and Nebraska also coming in ahead of Texas. With three Big 12 teams in the top five, Brown feels the confer­ ence is finally getting recognition from the rest of the nation. "It will be hard for three of us to end up in the top five but it shows how good in preseason people across the country think this league is," Brown said. A year ago, Texas was ranked No. 7 in the preseason and moved up to No. 5 after beating Louisiana-Lafayette. But a 27-24 loss at Stanford dropped the Horns 10 spots. After losing to Oklahoma 63-14, Texas dropped from No. 11 to No. 25, and a week later fell out of the rankings after beating Colorado 28-14. A six-game win streak to end the reg­ ular season pushed the team back to No. 12, where it remained after losing in the Holiday Bowl to Oregon 35-30. Scaife back in action The first day of preseason workouts last season is a day Bo Scaife had waited a full year to forget. The 6-foot 3-inch, 245-pound tight end was expected to be Chris Simms' main target as a group of inexperienced fresh­ man receivers had yet to make their mark on the Texas program. Then, one hour into practice, Scaife's left knee gave out, and he was done for the year. A tom anterior cruciate liga­ ment forced Scaife to redshirt while the names Roy Williams and B.J. Johnson became synonymous with the Texas passing game. Twelve months later, Scaife is again expected to be a key component to the Texas aerial attack, albeit in a more com­ plementary to Williams and Johnson. Scaife also faces competition at the tight end position, but he was just happy to be back on the field last week­ end. role "Coming out here was a big mental hurdle for me," Scaife said. "I was real Astros move closer to first-place Chicago _____ __________________ By The Associated Press B v T h u A ftftn rh tA H P r o c c MIAMI — The Houston Astros made pitcher-friendly Pro Player Stadium look like cozy Enron Field. Lance Berkman, Jeff Bagwell, Daryle Ward and Vinny Castilla all homered — giving Houston nine home runs in the three-game series — as the Astros beat the Florida Marlins 10-5 Sunday. Winning two of three against Florida, Houston handed the Marlins their second series loss at home and first since the season opener against Philadelphia. Rorida had won or split its last 17 home series. "I don't consider this a home-run park," Astros manager Larry Dierker said. "I don't think most pitchers would mind pitching here, but we have guys who when they hit it right, it doesn't matter if it's a big park or a small park." Although Dave Mlicki (3-0) allowed three homers, he remained undefeated since being traded to Houston from Detroit in late June. Mlicki gave up five hits and five runs — four earned — in five-plus innings. He struck out six and walked two, helping Houston win for the eighth time in 10 games. u _• m "He's not a Cy Young candidate, but the way we hit, he can be a .500 pitcher," Dierker said. With the victory, the Astros moved a half-game behind first-place Chicago. Houston begins a three- game series against the Cubs at Enron Field on Monday. "They're going to be big games for us," Bagwell said. "Obviously, there should be a lot of energy. It should be a fun three days." Especially if the Astros hit like they did against Florida. Berkman tied the game at one with his 30th homer in the second inning. Bagwell hit No. 31 in the sixth, capping a four-run inning and giving the Astros a 7-4 lead. Rorida's Preston Wilson cut the lead to 7-5 with a solo homer to lead off the bottom of the sixth. It was Wilson's second homer in as many days. He also dedicated this one to his infant son who died almost three weeks ago. But the Astros added three runs in the seventh to put the game out of reach. "They can swing the bat," said Florida manager Tony Perez, whose club committed two errors. "If you Moisés Alou, left, congratulates Lance homer Sunday as the Houston Astros give them any help, they can kill you. They really pounded the ball away with those home runs. They've got a lot of power."

Northwestern says Wheeler and others may have used energy-enhancing supplements McGwire connects again, Cards down Mets By The Associated Press EVANSTON, is 111. — Northwestern University investigating whether Rashidi Wheeler and other Wildcats foot­ ball players took a banned, energy- enhancing supplement before Wheeler collapsed and died on a practice field ear­ lier this month. "They're just looking at use of supple­ ments — whether or not that was involved in the death," school spokesman Mike Wolf said Sunday. Wolf said players are required to inform team trainers of any supplements they are using at the time of their annual physicals. Wheeler passed his physical July 12. The 22-year-old safety, a chronic asth­ matic, died Aug. 3 after he collapsed and was unable to catch his breath. After use of his inhaler didn't help, he stopped breath­ ing and was pronounced dead about an hour later at Evanston Hospital, officials said. Whether Wheeler and other players used a supplement is one question the university is asking as part of its review of what happened the day Wheeler died, what emergency procedures were in place and how those procedures were imple­ mented. Part of the investigation is whether Wheeler received quick and adequate medical attention by the trainers. Of reports that the trainers were busy assist­ ing other players who had collapsed, Wolf Associated Press Rashidi Wheeler’s death has brought about investigations in the Northwestern University football program. said, "Collapsed is too strong a word," but confirmed they were attending to other players. Of the use of supplements, there is no evidence Wheeler was using them and Wolf said it wasn't known if any players were using them. r i But according to the Chicago Tribune, Wheeler's close friend, NU linebacker Kevin Bentley, said he heard teammates discussing a supplement called Ultimate Orange, which contains an herbal ephedrine. Ephedrine is banned by the NCAA. "People started saying they were going to take it or might take it," he told the Tribune. "I didn't see anyone take it." Wheeler's family wants the focus of his death to remain on apparent breakdowns in medical care as he died on the field, regardless of whether he was using sup- plemerits. The (supplement story) doesn't change anything, said Kim Will, Wheeler's aunt. "We're trying to keep the focus on what procedures were followed so that this does not have to happen to any other ath­ lete. We re seeking major changes so that safeguards are in place." The Cook County medical examiner's office indicated in a preliminary report that Wheeler died from bronchial asthma. A toxicology report, which will test for ephedrine, will not be completed for sev­ eral weeks. Wolf said the school's investi­ gation won't be completed at least until that report comes back. However, Wheeler's family, with the help of Rev. Jesse Jackson, has launched its own investigation. We believe there has been negligence," said Kim Will. By The Associated Press NEW YORK — Some days Mark McGwire even amazes himself. McGwire hit his 575th career home run, his 11th straight hit to clear the fence, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets 4-1 Sunday three-game sweep. for a McGwire's two-run homer was a low liner that highlight­ ed a three-run first inning. His 21st home run was his second in two days. "It surprised me like it sur­ prised everyone else," McGwire said. McGwire connected against Bruce Chen (5-6). "It impressed me," Chen said. ,;The thing wasn't higher than 20 feet off the ground." What made McGwire's blast all the more impressive was the weather. The game was played in a near-steady drizzle on a humid, murky day., "That was heavy air out there," said Cardinals manag­ er Tony La Russa. "A lot of balls stayed in the park that were hit really well." McGwire hit a line drive 400 feel into right-center field for his homer. He later joked that he is studying Seattle star Associated Press Mark McGwire watches his 575th career home run Sunday. Ichiro Suzuki, who appears to look wheife fielders are and then hit the ball in unprotect­ ed spaces. "Like told you, I'm watch­ ing Ichiro all the time. I'm going to try to be like him," he said. Big Mac's last hit that was not a homer was a first-inning single at Houston on July 18. His streak is the longest of its kind in at least 25 years — research beyond that does not exist. After McGwire connected, Albert Pujols followed with his 27th home run to give the Cardinals their 3-0 lead. Darryl-Kile (13-7) won his third straight start, holding the Mets to three hits over six innings. Matt Lawton home- red in the fourth for the Mets' run.
