"Really, this is nothing new for Texas," 
G otsch said . "T h is is just a continuation for 
Texas — incarceration costs a lot of m oney

Texas' p riso n p op u latio n rate increased 
by 11.8 percent annually over the p ast

the country. In the 1990s, the Texas prison

Larry T odd, a public inform ation officer

License holders more 
likely to commit crimes

By Jeffrey Hlpp
Daily Texan Staff

Texas C oncealed H an d gu n License-holders 
are 66 percent m ore likely to com m it a crim e 
than the average Texan citizen, according to a 
new study. O fficials from the G o v ern o r’s 
Office, however, called the report a partisan 
attack again st Gov. G eorge W. Bush.

The study, conducted by the Violence Policy 
Center, a W ashington, D C.-based gun control 
advocacy group, reports that Texas concealed 
h an dgu n license-holders w ere arrested 3,370 
tim es betw een January 1996 and April 2000. 
The g ro u p collected its d ata from 
le x a s 
D epartm ent of Public Safety reports.

The Concealed H an d g u n Bill w as p assed 
by the Texas Legislatu re in 1995 and w as 
sign ed by Bush. The bill stipulates that p o s­
session of a perm it allow s citizens to carry a 
concealed han dgu n on their person in public.
"To get a concealed h an dgun license in

Texas, you have to go through a safety train­
ing course," said Karen Brock, co-author of 
the study. "T hese people w ho have had the 
safety course, who should be am ong the safest 
with w eapons, are being arrested at a higher 
rate than the average citizen in Texas."

Brock said she h op es that states that are 
considering adopting sim ilar legislation will 
decide against it and those that already have 
such law s will repeal them.

"We hope the people of Texas and the p eo­
ple of other states will look at this and [real­
ize] w hat they're prom isin g is not w hat the 
people are getting," Brock said. The fait is 
that [perm it ow ners] are su p p o sed to be u sin g 
the g u n s in self-defense, but are going out and 
com m ittin g m u rd ers, ra p e s and kid n ap -

Regents: Council to

able to address all levels of staff and that the 
goal is to form a group comprised of people 
from many classifications.

Faulkner, though, could not specify what he 
would look for in an appointee because Burck 
and Regents Chairman Don Evans have yet to 
establish the guidelines under which council 
representatives should be selected.

Though it is still uncertain how many repre­
sentatives will be appointed from each UT 
campus, Burck said there will probably be one 
or two staff representatives from each UT com­
ponent institution.

In addition to showing enthusiasm for the 
new council, Evans commended Faulkner and 
Burck for their leadership in attempting to 
keep staff salaries on the rise by refusing raises.
Tne regents' approval of the recommenda­
tion to have a staff representation committee 
makes the group the third advisory council —

along with the Faculty and Student Advisory 
Councils — that serves as a bridge to the 
regents.

Burck said the budget and the format of the 
new council should be comparable to the two 
other groups.

Parisa Fatehi, a 1999-2000 member of the 
Student Advisory Council, said because the 
institutions faced different problems, there 
were many issues that could not be addressed.
"It was difficult to get tangible results based 
on the meetings because the campuses were so 
different," Fatehi said.

While the student committee meets with 
regents once a year, Fatehi said it seemed group 
delegates didn't really have access to the 
regents. Fatehi, a former student government 
president, added that then-Chancellor William 
Cunningham didn't participate in meetings 
but, rather, sent staff members to join the dis­
cussions.

group would choose only to look at the

31 states with comparable concealed

Jones, 
spokesman for the Governor's Office. 
"The study appears to be biased, and it 
may reflect the partisan positions of 
this group more than it reflects any 
accurate assessment of our state laws."
Members of the Violence Policy 
Center said Texas was the only state 
reviewed because of the excellence of

the data kept by DPS regarding crimes 
committed by concealed carry permit 
holders. In some states, Brock said, it is 
illegal to obtain similar information.

Additionally, Brock said the study 
was not motivated by Bush's presiden­
tial bid, since the center has performed 
similar studies in Texas for the past two 
years. The center declined to comment on 
now the issue reflects on Bush's adminis­
tration.

The Nation Rifle Association Institute 
for Legislative Action also criticized the 
study. The institute contends that the data 
in the study is incomplete, because 55 per­
cent of the licensees that are arrested for 
violent crimes are later cleared of the 
crimes for which they are accused.

"Individuals who get concealed carry 
permits are actually some of the most law- 
abiding individuals just because there are 
so many requirements that they have to 
take as far as background checks and safe­
ty courses," NRA ILA spokeswoman 
Suzie Fulk said. "They are overwhelming­
ly a very, very law-abiding group of peo­
ple."

Blake Davis, a classics junior, said he 
finds it disturbing that the average citizen 
could be carrying a firearm in public.

"The sole purpose of a gun is to kill 
something," he said. "That you can walk 
around carrying it, knowing that that s the 
only purpose, seems destructive."

Gilbert recognized nationally on TV shows

and students.

University and her Ph.D. from the 
University.

All throughout her school years, 
Gilbert would help other students with 
their homework and loved to learn from 
others.

"When you explain something to 
someone, you also realize the limits of 
your own learning, especially because 
there are a lot of areas where there aren't 
answers," Gilbert said.

A long-time friend and a student of 
Gilbert's at Iowa State in the 1970s, 
Connie Deustch said Gilbert has a talent 
for teaching.

"She has a unique ability to engage 
people intellectually and emotionally," 
Deustch, now a psychologist in private 
practice, said.

Gilbert will teach her first freshman 
seminar in the fall called Introduction to 
the Psychology of Women and Gender 
and will co-teach a class called Women 
in Science and Engineering with physics 
and engineering professors.

Gilbert's daughter, Melissa, a middle 
school math teacher in California, said 
she has always been proud of her mom 
because she knew she loved her work

"She has a strong work ethic. She was 
always doing something: reading peo­
ple's dissertations, writing a book, grad­
ing papers, having students over to the 
house," she said.

Melissa said her greatest memories of 
her mom are related to her beliefs in 
feminism.

"She would always tell me to not let 
anybody put me down for who 1 am and 
not to do things because I felt I had to, 
because I was female," she said.

Gilbert's research for the four books 
she has written and over 60 articles she 
has contributed to psychological jour­
nals are concentrated in feminist theory, 
dual-career families and gender and race 
issues.

She challenged the University to turn 
the Women's Studies program into an 
entire department and accomplished her 
goal in five years.

"It is very new to think of women as 

worthy to study," Gilbert said.

Marita Frackowiak, a doctoral student 
in psychology, took Gilbert's research 
design class and said she enjoyed it 
because Gilbert brought feminist theory, 
strong research skills, statistical knowl­
edge and excitement to the classroom.

"Dr. Gilbert is so famous and success­

ful because she has an ability to integrate 
knowledge from different domains," 
Frackowiak said.
Gilbert has 

received numerous 
awards including the Carolyn Wood 
Sheri f Award of The Division of 
Psychology of Women of the American 
Psychological Association in August 
1998. She was also named one of the 100 
Outstanding Women in the Women's 
Heritage Exhibit made for the American 
Psychological Association's centennial 
in 1992.

like 

Gilbert has been a guest on nationally 
televised programs 
the Oprah 
Winfrey Show and ABC News Washington 
and has been featured in Newsweek, New 
Women, Men's Health, McCall's, The 
Chicago Tribune and others.

Every morning Gilbert tries to wake 
up by five so she can take her daily swim 
at Barton Springs Pool before she heads 
off to the University where, as vice 
provost, she is determined to enhance 
students' experiences by combining dif­
ferent departments for collaborative 
research in an atmosphere without 
stereotypes.

"Dr. Gilbert really stands up for what 
she believes in and doesn't back down," 
said Sabrina Starling, a psychology doc­
toral student.

There are many reasons for you to take classes at Austin Community
College. Here are four of them.

■ ACC has the lowest college tuition in Greater Austin.
■ You won’t get lost at ACC - no auditoriums full of 500 students. 
Our average class size is a little over 20 students; you’ll get to 
know your instructor and your fellow learners.

■ ACC credits have value. Most general education courses 

(English, government, physics, speech, etc.) transfer to four-year 
institutions. An associate of arts or science looks great on your 
resume. Best of all, if you complete your 42-credit “Core 
Curriculum” at ACC, the entire core transfers as a block to any 
public four-year college or university in Texas, and fulfills that 
institution’s core requirements.

■ ACC offers workforce degrees and certificates in more than 40 

career areas ranging from accounting to welding.

Registration fo r fall classes is going 
on now. New students should start 
the application process by calling

Cording helps coordinate the UT 
Tobacco Program, a free self-help pro­
gram where UT health officials work 
with students on a one-on-one basis 
to guide them through the quitting 
process.

"On college campuses, smoking 
has become tike acceptable norm. The 
question is how we can change the 
norms," Cording said.

The study also found that trends in 
cigar use are changing. In the early 
1990s, cigars were primarily used by 
older men, but are now becoming 
common among college students.

Defining these trends in cigar use 
as "a new phenomenon entering the 
college population," the study found

that total tobacco use was greater 
among males than females — 38 per­
cent for males and 30 percent for 
women — because more men smoke 
cigars.

The study noted that since cigar 
manufacturers increased advertising 
in the early 1990s, cigar use has 
increased by 50 percent between 1993 
and 1998, reversing a 30-year decline.
Cording said similar advertising 
tactics utilized by the tobacco indus­
try may be one contributing factor to 
high tobacco use among college stu­
dents.

"A lot of it is about appealing to 
young people," Cording said. "Most 
ads are very fun; everyone is having a 
good time."

The increase in prison population 
and the decrease in crime reflects a 
positive picture, said Todd, even 
though it will cost taxpayers more.

"Certainly the public pays, but the 
message from the taxpayers was to 
reduce crimes, as sad as that might 
be," he said.

The

The nation's prison population 
has grown 77 percent in the last 
decade, an increase of nearly 600,000 
inmates, the 16-page report said.

An increase in violent and drug

of the growth in the prison popula­
tions of all the states.

Louisiana had more people

Reform Party 
splits over 
candidates

T h e Daily
T exan

August 11, 2000

By The Associated Press

LONG BEACH, Calif. — A deeply divided Reform Party 
fractured into separate conventions Thursday as Pat Buchanan's 
forces turned away those who are fiercely opposing his-presi­
dential run.

Buchanan called to his supporters to “build a party that will 

set about making America a godly nation again."

He issued a statement that decried “rampant homosexuality" 
in American culture and pledged to appoint only anti-abortion 
conservatives to the Supreme Court. "Most Americans today 
believe their country, in moral terms, is headed in the wrong 
diiection," Buchanan said.

It was a decidedly rightward tilted manifesto, which stands in 
sharp contrast to a Reform Party platform that focuses on cam­
paign finance reform and other proposed overhauls of govern­
ment rules and regulations.

Anti-Buchanan forces, dominated by long-time party mem­
bers aligned with founder Ross Perot, marched off to convene a 
rival meeting down the block. They sang “We Shall Overcome" 
and shouted "Reform! Reform!"

The split was official after several hundred members of the 
anti-Buchanan faction marched into the hallway of the original 
convention site and tried to enter the opening proceedings. They 
were turned away peacefully by security forces.

The Perot allies have rallied around little-known candidate 
John Hagelin as the only alternative to Buchanan, who has sys­
tematically worked to take over the Reform Party.

Hagelin, a nuclear physicist who is also running for president 
with the Natural Law Party, led several hundred followers to the 
neighboring breakaway gathering.

Each faction claims its meeting is the legitimate Reform Party 

convention.

“This is the main theater, this is the Reform Party convention. 
It's a glorious hall," Hagelin said as he arrived. "We're going to 
conduct the Reform Party convention. Pat Buchanan is conduct­
ing the Buchanan convention."

A battalion of police met the Hagelin forces at their site, caus­
ing a backlog as hundreds of people lined up to pass through

metal detectors.

Buchanan "has stolen approximately half the party," Hagelin 
told backers. "But look around you and you will see the stronger 
half is with us here."

Buchanan backers dismissed the prospect of a rival conven­
tion, saying it would be meaningless and that Buchanan would 
be affirmed as the party's nominee.

"Fine, that means the losers are meeting," said K.B. Forbes, a 
Buchanan campaign spokesman. "It doesn't mean anything. It's 
insignificant. This is the real convention.'

Earlier Thursday, former party chairman Russ Vemey argued 
that Buchanan and his campaign manager and sister, Bay 
Buchanan, were trying to steal the mail-in balloting, which will

determine the nominee.

"The Buchanans stuffed the ballot box with 500,(XX) names 
but they will not release the information to show they are valid 
voters," he said on NBC News' Today.

Bay Buchanan, interviewed on the same program, retorted: 
"The reason they are walking out of this convention and having 
their own convention is because they have lost in the legitimate 
convention. We'll be bringing over 70 percent of the delegates 
won fair and square in some 50 states."

Meanwhile, the anti-Buchanan forces filed a formal complaint 
Thursday with the Federal Election Commission, asking the 
FEC to block Buchanan from receiving the $12.5 million in fed­
eral matching funds that comes with the nomination.

Customers demand new tires in wake of recall

By The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Richard Dames was­
n't waiting to be notified by mail. He wanted 
the tires on his pickup truck changed immedi­
ately, even though he hasn't seen any signs of 
defects.

"I've let my 20-year-old grandson drive it a 
couple of times. What if something happened 
to him?" asked Dames, of Albany, N.Y. "I 
won't drive it if if s not safe."

Other customers of Bridgestone/Firestone 
Inc. were similarly worried after the company 
announced Wednesday the voluntary recall of 
6.5 million tires. The government is investigat­
ing complaints that link the tires to nearly 300 
failures and at least 46 deaths in the past three 
years.

"When customers hear there's a recall or a 
death involved, they come in screaming and 
say,'Get them off the car!"' said Mike Barbara, 
senior vice president of Town Fair Tire, an East 
Haven, Conn.-based chain of 52 stores.

Most of the tires are on Ford Motor Co. sport 
utility vehicles and light pickups, including 
the popular Ford Explorer.

In most of the reported cases, the tires sepa­
rated from their casings, sometimes at high 
speed. About 80 percent of the complaints 
came from Arizona, California, Florida and 
Texas, according to government and industry 
officials.

"The tires looked like a bicycle tire. All you 
saw was the inner tube," said Enc Albury, 26, 
of Miami Shores, Fla., who had to replace four 
Firestone tires because the treads came off 
while driving. "I have a 7-month-old baby. I m 
not going to drive him around like that."

The recall covers size P235/75R15 Firestone 
radial ATX and radial ATX II tires produced in 
North America, and Wilderness AT brand tires 
produced at the company7s Decatur, 111., plant 
with the code "VD."

The company is offering replacements, with 
their brand or a competitor's brand, at no 
charge, regardless of the tire's age or mileage. 
Exchanges will occur in three stages, the first 
of which will concentrate on 11 Southern 
states.

Customers will be notified by mail and all 
tires will be replaced, company officials said.

However, replacements in some parts of the 
country aren't expected to be completed for 18 
months.

The tire recall will force Tokyo-based 
Bridgestone Corp. to take a one-time charge of 
about $350 million in its fiscal year ending 
December, the company said. Bridgestone 
shares closed down 226 yen, or 11 percent, to 
finish at 1,849 yen ($17.28) in trading Thursday 
on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Firestone customers 

jammed company 
phone lines and rushed to tire retail stores for 
replacements.

"I am worried," said Hortensia Mata of 
Miami, who drives a 1992 Ford Explorer. "I am 
a longtime Firestone customer, but with all the 
accidents I need to take precautions."

Ian Hugh, owner of Hugh's Tire Service in 
Glendale, Ariz., said his telephone rang all day 
with customers worried about any make of 
Firestone tires.

"Firestone's trying to be as helpful as they 
can and I'm trying to be as helpful as I can," he 
said, noting some customers are asking for 
other brands.

Critics maintained the tires should have 
been taken off the highways sooner and that 
the manufacturer — as well as automakers 
using the tires — had indications of problems 
as far back as the early 1990s.

"This is something they've known about fot 
a long time," said Joan Claybrook, president of 
the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen 
and 
former National Highway 
Transportation Safety Administration admin­
istrator.

a 

Bridgestone/Firestone should have made 
the move sooner, said John Allen, senior part­
ner at Lippincott & Margulies Inc., a corporate 
image-consulting firm.

"You're dealing with safety, deaths and 
trust," Allen said. "I think good responsible 
citizenship and business practices should be to 
immediately take any threat to the public safe­
ty very seriously. They stonewalled.

More than 100 lawsuits were filed nation­
wide before the recall, including one by the 
family of a 10-year-old girl who was killed 
when her mother's Explorer allegedly crashed 
after a Firestone tire came apart.

Protein that regulates fat vs. muscle development in cells found

.

J 

By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In America's 
endless search for a magic pill to 
shrink the waistline, researchers 
have found a "fat switch"— a pro­
tein that causes developing cells to 
become either muscle or fat. But 
unfortunately, the "fat switch"pro- 
tein does not offer the promise of an 
eternally slim body, say University of 
Michigan 
School 
researchers.

Medical 

"If you could see my midriff, you 
would know that breaks my heart," 
says Ormond A. MacDougald, one 
of the scientists.

Science, 

In a study appearing Friday in the 
journal 
co-authors 
MacDougald and Sarah Ross report 
that a protein called Wnt 10b acts as 
a molecular switch to determine 
which developing cells become fat 
and which 
become muscle. 
MacDougald said that both fat and 
muscle cells evolve from what are 
called precursor cells. The ultimate 
destiny in the body of some of these 
precursor cells is determined by a 
family of 18 proteins called Wnts. In 
laboratory studies, MacDougald and 
Ross found that one of these pro­
teins, Wnt 10b, appears to regulate

production of muscle cells. When 
Wnt 10b links with certain precursor 
cells, they develop into muscle. But 
when the Wnt protein is missing, the 
same cells will turn into fat.

“We used muscle precursor cells 
and showed that if you inhibit the 
Wnt signal then they turn into fat 
cells,"said MacDougald. "Wnt has to 
be suppressed in those cells for 
adipocytes [cells that turn into fat] to 
form."

In effect, said MacDougald, Wnt 
10b appears to act as "a molecular 
switch to turn on either fat or mus­
cle."

The action of Wnt 10b was discov­
ered in test tube experiments, but the 
role of the protein was proven when 
precursor cells with or without Wnt 
10b were implanted in lab mice. 
Precursor cells with the Wnt protein 
continued to evolve toward mature 
muscle cells, while those lacking 
Wnt "are redirected from muscle 
cells

cells,"said 

toward 

fat 

MacDougald said the action of 
the Wnt protein is very local, 
affecting only a few cells in its 
vicinity. It does not work like a hor­
mone, such as insulin, tl^t travels

through the blood stream and affects 
through the blood stream and affix I
billions of cells. As a result, he said, 
Wnt 10b is unlikely to be developed 
into an anti-fat pill.

"Our findings will be important in 
learning how obesity develops, but 
the Wnt protein will not bo a target 
for an anti-obesity drug/'said 
MacDougald.

Venezuela’s Chavez visits Iraq

By The Associated Press

Iraq 

BAGHDAD, 

— 
Venezuelan President Hugo 
Chavez held talks with Iraqi 
President Saddam Hussein on 
Thursday, defying the United 
States by being the first head of 
state to go to Iraq since the 
1991 Gulf War. Chavez held 
talks with Saddam in Baghdad

after flying to the Iraqi capital 
from the Iraqi-Iranian border. 
He crossed the frontier from 
Iran in a car, respecting a U.N. 
ban on flights to and from Iraq.
Iraq laid out the red carpet 
for Chavez, trumpeting his 
visit as a breach of its isolation 
and a slap in the face for 
Washington.

Western wildfires force closure 
of Montana forest lands

HAMILTON, Mont. — More than 6-million 
acres of land in the Big Sky state has been 
closed to the public, a move prompted by fires 
that have burned 300,000 acres, forced hun­
dreds of evacuations and destroyed scores of 
homes.

Gov. Marc Racicot encouraged people to 
pray for relief from the devastation. “We 
would not do this if it were not absolutely 
essential, " he said.

Nationally, more than 20,000 firefighters 
were battling 70 large wildfires across 992,000 
acres in the hot, dry West on Wednesday. This 
year, 4.3-million acres have burned, about 
twice the 10-year average.

Relatives sue gun makers 
over Jewish center shootings

LOS ANGELES — Victims' relatives are 
suing the companies that made and sold the 
weapons that a white supremacist allegedly 
used to kill a postman and wound five people 
at a Jewish community center last year.

The suit, filed Wednesday, claims that Glock 
Inc. and other makers of guns seized from 
Buford O. Furrow share some responsibility 
for the Aug. 10, 1999, crimes.

Furrow is accused of wounding three boys, 
a teen-age girl and a woman at the North 
Valley Jewish Community Center in the San 
Fernando Valley, and then killing Filipino- 
Am erican letter carrier Joseph lleto hours 
later.

Man gets nine months home 
detention in Internet sex sting

LOS ANGELES — A former Disney Internet 
executive has been sentenced to nine months 
in home detention for crossing state lines with 
the intention of having sex with a minor he 
contacted by e-mail.

Patrick 

N aughton was arrested 

in 
September 1999 after arranging to meet an e- 
mail correspondent who was actually an FBI 

: agent pretending to be a 13-year-old girl.

U.S. District Court Senior Judge Edward 
Rafeedie gave Naughton a sentence of nine 
months home detention with electronic moni­
toring, a $20,000 fine and five years probation.

Seizure of 3,000 white farmers’ 
lands in Zimbabwe advance

HARARE, Zimbabwe — The crisis facing 
Zim babw e's embattled white farmers intensi­
fied Thursday, when banks cut off their financ- 
, ing and the government began moving land­
less blacks to plots the farmers used to own.

The developm ents raised fears of food 
shortages. White farmers produce nearly half 
the country's 2.2 million tons of corn, the sta­
ple food, and most of its capital-intensive soy 

_ and wheat crops.

“This is seriously im pacting on all opera­
tions," said Neil Wright, chief economist at the 
union that represents much of the country's 
white farming minority.

Zim babw e's government has said it plans to 
seize more than 3,000 white-owned farms and 
resettle hundreds of thousands of blacks on 
the land. On Thursday, the farmers' union said 
some poor blacks were being taken in govern­
ment vehicles to farms targeted for seizure.

Aide says Arafat turned down 
U.S. resettlement aid offer

A CY, Gaza Strip — Palestinian leader Yasser 
Arafat turned down an American plan to set 
up a $30-billion international fund to resettle 
refugees, a 
top Palestinian official said 
Thursday.

Salim Zanoun, chairman of the PLO Central 
C ouncil, said the offer cam e during last 
m onth's summit at the Camp David presiden­
tial retreat outside Washington. He said it was 
part of American pressure on Arafat to com­
promise on the refugee issue.

The Palestinians are demanding that mil­
lions of refugees be allowed to return to their 
former homes in what is now Israel.

Consider, for a moment, that Gov. 
George W. Bush m ight not be working 
on behalf of your best interests. Sound 
far-fetched? Think again. Of course, 
interest groups flex their financial mus­
cle in most elections in order to sway 
their outcomes, but there are regula­
tions on how that influence can be 
exerted. Bush m ight just be breaking 
those rules. Big surprise, right?

This year, soft money is expected to 
play an unusually large role in the 
Republican presidential campaign. 
Fred Meyer, chairman of the RNC's 
Victory 2000 committee, said that this 
sort of "issue advertising" w ould 
exceed conventional candidate-cen­
tered advertising this election year, in a

Committee on July 27.
There are, howeve^ lines in the sand ot 
campaign finance law that attempt to 
restrain individual candidates from 
deploying soft money for their own 
specific ends and coordinating their 
efforts with interest groups. Bush isn't 
paying too much attention to the rules, 
and the elderly may be the first group 
to pay the price.

... 

Generally, interest groups are limited 
to fairly small contributions to any indi­
vidual campaign. However, there are a 
couple of gray areas — almost loop­
holes _ that allow these groups to exert 
broad financial influence in elections. 
Contributions of "soft money," which 
are given to the candidate's political 
party, are one such loophole. This

Castellanos is not just responsible for 
Dubya's TV spots — he is also in charge 
of the RNC's advertisements, as well as 
those of the powerful interest group 
Citizens for Better Medicare, a pro- 
Bush lobbying group backed by the 
pharmaceutical industry.

RNC, and the pharmaceutical compa­
nies to tap into a big pool of under-reg­
ulated contribution money to coordi­
nate their advertising strategies for 
m utual benefit. At last there is evidence, 
to substantiate the claim that Bush is in 
the corporate pocket. Sure, pharmaceu­
tical companies probably realize that 
Dubya nearly bankrupted his own oil 
company, and isn't too reliable when it 
comes to not executing innocent peo­
ple, but if they can just pay his way into 
the White House, then they'll have him 
in the proverbial dangle.

There is dishonesty in politics, that's a 
fact of life. But there is dishonesty, and 
then there is greed-based m anipulation 
of the media intended to w arp public 
perception and mask the truth. Watch 
out for commercials claiming that Bush 
and the Republicans are fighting for 
less government intervention in the pri­
vate health insurance market, because 
that's not really the case. Pharmaceutical 
companies are buying an election to 
ensure that they m aintain a monopoly 
on their exploitation and profiteering.

Pursley Is a philosophy senior

Their issue of choice is the Democratic 
intention to add prescription drug cov­
erage to Medicare to offset skyrocketing 
drug prices that are currently rising

and HMOs, an addition to Medicare 
may well be the only way to ensure that 
Am erica's retiree's can afford their 
medicine. If it passes, the big drug com­
panies stand to lose billions in revenue. 
No wonder they are crossing ethical 
lines in trying to get Dubya, who has 
vowed to oppose the measure, into the
White House.

With Castellanos consulting for all 
three interests, there is the potential for 
the efforts of Bush's campaign, the

THE FIRING LINE

Poor run bus-iness

The Capital Metro misinformation train keeps rolling. 
Not "all Austin Capital Metro bus drivers" have taken the 
bicycle safety course touted in Tuesday7s Texan. The drivers 
who interact the most with bikes, the UT Shuttle drivers 
have not taken the class. This represents about one-third ot 
all the drivers. Nor do we wish to take a class from a coor­
dinator who gives us such valuable safety tips as 'be very 
careful when turning left," and "be especially cautious near 
6th Street/'Capital Metro's safety coordinator, Mark 
Ostertag suggests that because one-third of pedestrians hit 
by motor vehicles are drunk, you are more likely to get hit 
if you are drunk. This is certainly going to be news to the 
two-thirds who were hit while sober. Logic does not appcar 
to be part of the program. We are not any more persuaded 
by City of Austin bicycle and pedestrian coordinator, Linda 
DuPriest's endorsement of the course. She is content with 
the situation of bike lanes and bus routes running along the 
same routes because it is traditional. This tradition is stupid, 
and Linda is the primary perpetuator of this unsafe tradi-

b°Austin should work on real solutions, like keeping trucks 
and cars off of UT sidewalks, and giving bus drivers realis­
tic schedules, so they won't be forced to unsafely speed, 
and run red lights to stay on time. So far, all we've gotten is
iust more of the same old Capital Metro PR fluff.

Praise for Larry
Dear Dr. Faulkner,
I am proud to say I work at the University and am 
pleased to see the efforts you have made since joining the 
University. I began my employment at the University 10 
years ago and have seen the torch pass from one president 
to the next. You've exhibited a remarkable ability to balance 
die massive pressures and expectations presented to you by 
the staff, die faculty, the student body, the regente, and, 
most importantly, die Texas Legislature. Obviously, you 
can't please everyone all of the time, and you are to be 
commended for die strides you've taken to assuage all

worked in the private sector for eight years before join­
ing die University, and know what it means to risk your 
livelihood working for a privately owned company-1 saw 
engineers have their salaries cut it halt while they gntted 
their teeth and stuck it out due to the late '80s bust in 
Austin. We had our insurance premiums removed and our 
sick leave discontinued. Needless to say, working m the pn-

vate sector, we were at the mercy of the economy. We 
stayed with the company as long as we could, because loy­
alty was a two-way street. We knew that the company own­
ers were doing what they could, even if the results weren t 
always as we hoped. Unlike the private sector, the 
University is a public enterprise, meaning that while the 
'80s economy didn't bankrupt the University, neither does 
a booming economy mean we'll have the luxury of dipping
into pots of gold. 

.

As with any high-ranking office, you are handed the 
legacies of your predecessors and change is often hard and 
slow in coming. You are taking small, yet significant steps 
to alleviate problems that were bred years before your 
arrival and I appreciate your courage, your candor and 
your co m m itm en t. I work here because I believe m the mis­
sion of the University, and 1 am proud of the accomplish­
ments of this university. I promise to hang m there, if you 
will too. Hook 'Em Horns.

The politics o f death

Gov. George W. Bush's contention that his decisions on 
implementing the death penalty in Texas are not political is 
disingenuous. Every single candidate of both parties who 
ran for president in the primaries this past winter favor the 
death penalty, as do the candidates for vice-president, 
Democrat Joe Lieberman and Republican Dick Cheney.

About 67 percent of Americans favor the death penalty. 
All of the presidential candidates made a political decision 
to support the death penalty, since to oppose it would 
doom their chances of winning an election If only 33 per­
cent of the electorate favored capital punishment I would 
venture to say the candidates would make a political deci­
sion to oppose the death penalty.

Texas Gov. George W. Bush could have shown some gen- 
uine compassion by stopping the execution of men*3^ 
retarded inmate Oliver David Cruz, and he could men lead 
his state legislature in passing a ban on executing the men­
tally retarded. The day is coming when the death penalty 
will be abolished in our country, thereby taking the issue 
out of the hands of politicians who only want to appear

tough on aim e.

The sinking ship

I've been following the coverage of the planned sick-out 
in September. I have to agree with Peg Kramer s recent let-

ter to President Faulkner. The fact that UT's dirty laundry is 
being aired out nationally is just plain embarrassing. UT 
Austin is staffed by a group of very hard working individ­
uals who, more than likely, are having a harder time every 
year keeping up with Faulkner's attempts to beat his pre­
vious record for largest freshman class. The cost of hvjngin 
this town is obviously based around the high-tech industry 
while our biggest employers are the university and the 
state. These people deserve to be paid a fair and competi­
tive wage. Do, something now, Mr. Faulkner, before our 
-flagship" sinks.

Pandering for appeal

If "Student Government is for most of the year little more 
than a pep squad for the University," then what clever 
nomenclature, what satiric description would describe The 
Daily Texan? You see, it's awfully easy to play the enbe. Yet 
it's not so easy to affect change. It takes time and energy, 
both of which we in Student Government tirelessly expend.
The absurdity of the statement, "Making life easier for a 
college student doesn't take much," is an obvious indica­
tion of a misunderstanding of the complexity of issues such 
as increasing parking and academic resources. If you sin­
cerely believe that Student Government is inept, assist us, 
rather than undermining our efforts. By attacking Student 
Government not only do you hurt our progress but you 
also hurt the students whom we are working to represent. 
We in Student Government have in the past and will con­
tinue to work for the students of this university. And we 
invite The Daily Texan to join us in creating a "lasting lega­
cy" instead of pandering for cynical appeal.

Faculty announces 
association officers

By Erica Steele
Daily Texan Staff

The Texas Faculty Association 
announced this week that three UT 
System professors have been elected to 
officer positions.

James Aldridge, a psychology profes­
sor at UT Pan-American, was elected 
TFA president. Ivor Page, a UT-Dallas 
computer science professor, was elected 
vice-president and Kenneth Buckman, 
a philosophy professor at UT Pan- 
American, was elected to the executive 
committee.

Aldridge said his main goal is to 
strengthen faculty organization across 
the state into a more unified voice in 
salary and tenure issues.

"It not only benefits faculty but high­

er education as well," he said.

The TFA, which represents 1,500 
higher education faculty members, 
works in many areas, from representing 
individual faculty members to state leg­
islative work, he said.

'T ve always been impressed with 
how the TFA manages to work on all 
levels," Aldridge said.

Charles Zucker, executive director of 
the TFA, said Aldridge has been active 
in faculty causes since before the TFA 
w as formed, 15 years ago.
trem endously 

concerned

"H e's 

about the legislature and what they're 
going to do about faculty salary increas­
es," he said.

Texas slipped from fifth to seventh 
place this year in faculty salaries out of 
16 southern states, Zucker said. The 
TFA works with faculty members to 
protect their interests.

"There's a lot of discontent in this 

state," he said.

Texas university faculty salaries have 
not been increased with the pace of the 
economy, Aldridge said.

"I can guarantee you we'll address the 

erosion of salaries in this state," he said.
Aldridge also said the issues of aca­
demic freedom and the nature of the 
tenure review process will also be 
addressed. Many people are concerned 
with the new post-tenure review pro­
gram mandated by the 75th Legislature 
and by the UT-System.

"We're waiting to see if it's properly 

used," he said.

Post-tenure review requires that all 
tenured faculty must be 'periodically 
evaluated, Zucker said. The TFA's con­
cern is that faculty members who have 
spoken against 
the administration 
could be affected unfairly by this.

Aldridge will serve two years as 
president and could be re-elected to one 
consecutive term.

Flawn awarded Santa Rita Award by regents Chüdrerfs Health 

By Aarti Shah
Daily Texan Staff

Former UT President Peter T. Flawn 
w as named as a recipient of the Santa 
Rita Award by the UT System Board of 
Regents Thursday.

The Santa Rita Award, named for an 
oil-producing well discovered on 
University property, has been offered 
since 1968 and is considered the most 
prestigious award presented by the 
Regents. The award is given to individ­
uals who have exhibited a dedication 
to the principles of higher education 
and a commitment to the UT system.

"Dr. Flawn richly deserves this 
award for truly contributing to the 
University and UT System," current 
UT President Larry Faulkner said. "He

Flawn began working 

has been an enormously powerful and 
beneficial influence to the system."
for 

the 
University in 1949 as a research geolo­
gist, and has served as vice president 
for academic affairs and as executive 
vice president. He was involved in cre­
ating UT-San Antonio and served as its 
first president from 1973 to 1977.

"The day UT-San Antonio opened 
was very rewarding because getting 
the university open was a real strug­
gle," Flawn said.

Flawn served as president of UT- 
Austin from 1981 to 1983, during the 
University's Centennial celebration.

"It was very special being a presi­
dent of the University during the three- 
year Centennial celebration," Flawn

said. "1981 marked a 100 years since 
the legislation was passed to create the 
University, and 1985 was the anniver­
sary of the first student being accepted 
to die school."

After 

retiring 

in 1985, Flawn 
returned to the University from 1997 to 
1998 as interim president.

Flawn is the 16th person to receive 
the award. Other recipients include 
Bob Bullock, Harry H. Ransom and 
Jack S. Blanton.

"Most recipients of the award have 
been people outside the University, so I 
am very surprised," Flawn said. "I am 
in very good company."

The Regents are expected to formal­
ly present the award to Flawn in the 
fall.

Balanced Budget Act of 1997, provides 
medical coverage to families who 
make too much money to qualify for 
Medicare but not enough to afford pri­
vate insurance.

A family making as much as 200 per­
cent above the poverty level $34,001 
per year for a family of four, is eligible 
for CHIP.

Each year since 1998, the federal gov­

ernment has allocated funds to states to 
pay for the program, which is then 
matched by state funds.

"The Texas Legislature allocates 
money for two years," said Charles 
Stuart, spokesperson for the Texas 
Department of Health and Hum an 
Resources. "The budget right now is 
$439 million from the federal govern­
ment and $180 million from the state, 
which is coming from the tobacco set­
tlement."

CHIP advertises on a regular basis 
with both paid advertisements and 
public service announcements. A 
recent telethon in San Antonio helped 
the num ber of children
increase 

^ usands

enrolled by 50 percent.

The medical attention children in the 
CHIP program receive is of the same 
quality as that of their peers.

"We treat everyone foe same regard­
less of their ability to pay," said Linda 
Shamblen of the Children's Hospital of 
Austin.

Janis Graef, CHIP program manag­
er for Seton Health Plan, said getting 
medical coverage for all children is 
vital.

"They [the uninsured] have a ten­
dency to put a condition off until it 
becomes urgent," she said. "With 
insurance they have someone they can 
go to and get treatment right away."

Dream Field

le still coming 
>rdy baseball diamond

By Travis Richmond
Daily Texan Staff

DYERSVILLE, Iowa — "People will come. 
People will definitely come," Terence Mann 
tells Ray Kinsella in die movie Field of Dreams, 
released in 1989.

Eleven years later; they are still coming to see 
tihe ballfield that Kevin Costner's character 
carved out of a cornfield. But this is no movie 
— this is the story of Don Lansing7 s life.

"A baseball diamond was cut into the middle 
of my farm and the middle of my life/ said 
Lansing, 58, who owns the property where 
Universal Studios elected to make a film that 
became part of Americana. "One day, I came 
home and there were some people here telling 
me they wanted to make a movie on my farm. 

And the rest is history.

"If you build it

Phil Alden Robinson, the director/screen­
writer of the movie, scouted several sites before 
settiing on Lansing's farm. The criteria for the 
final location was described as a traditional, 
All-American farm; a house two-stories high, 
white in color and set apart by itself with a long 
driveway. It also had to be surrounded by corn­
fields and gentle, rolling hills for lighting and 
an overall sense of coziness.

The dream field was built in four days in the 
summer of 1988, with the entire film being shot 
in nine weeks. The world premiere of Field of 
Dreams was on April 20, 1989 in Dubuque, 
Iowa, and the first visitor to Lansing's field 
came a few weeks later on May 5.

"Honestly, we were amazed that even one 
person came," said Becky Lansing, 46, Don s 
wife, who helps him maintain the field. "We 
don't promote the field, but word of mouth has

spread so much, that now over 55,000 people a 
year come here to see it."

Don and Becky live in tíre white farmhouse 
made famous in the film, and they say the 
number one question asked by visitors is "Do 
people really live there?"

Travélers from all over the world have come 
to the remote town of Dyersville, population ( 
4,000, located in northeast Iowa. People have 
made the trek from as far away as Japan and 
Australia for a chance to see the simple field.

"For a lot of families, baseball is a venue for 
spirituality. Everyone takes home something 
different from coming here," Becky said. 
Neither Becky nor Don make any attempt to 
explain the meaning of the film, adapted from 
W.P. Kinsella's Shoeless Joe and a nominee for 
Best Picture in 1989.

In the beginning, one thing people could not 
take home were souvenirs. But as traffic to the 
field increased, Don started making mementos 
for fans to take.

"I would leave buttons behind the backstop 
in the morning, and by the afternoon they were 
always gone," he said. "Then, I finally made 
some t-shirts, put them in a box behind home 
plate, with a sign that said, 'Help yourself, but 
please leave a donation.' People always left 
money."

The Lansings now have a trailer in front of 
their house that sells shirts, hats, programs, and 
various other field-related items. Ihe money 
brought in is used to pay for the underground 
irrigation system required to keep the field in 
top shape and was qsed to buy Don a new John 
Deere riding lawn mower, which he uses to 
trim the grass every day.

"I figured I would put it to use," said Don, 
who recently retired after 30 years as a John 
Deere salesman in Dubuque.

However, things are not perfect for the 

Lansings and their field.

"Ease his pain."

the movie are still Intact, complete with a -Ray Loves Annie’ heart carved by Kevin Costner during a break in shooti g.

from the sidelines."

In the last few years, there have been numer­
ous legal disputes between the Lansings and 
Raye. As a result, Raye and the Ghost Players 
are no longer allowed onto the Lansing's prop­
erty, which includes the entire infield.

The Ghost Players do travel the country and 
put on baseball exhibitions, furthering the leg­
end of Field o f Dreams, Raye said. But while 
these events require admission, the Lansings 
maintain they will never charge money for peo­
ple to play on their field.

"Go the distance."

When Universal was constructing the field in 
1988, they needed to remove a fence that ran 
through the edge of left and center field. The 
problem was the fence divided Laasing's prop­
erty from that of his neighbor, A1 Amescamp. 
Amescamp was cooperative and allowed the 
movie to be made, but shortly after its release, 
plowed up his land to plant com again.

"People came to us and asked us how we 
could allow left field to be tom up," Don said. 
"There was a huge outcry to have it restored, 
and he put it back shortly."

However, Amescamp has since leased 30 
acres of his land to an out-of-state investment 
firm. "Left and Center Field of Dreams" is the 
title for the slice of land leased by the firm, and 
it is managed by Keith Raye of Dyersville.

Raye has different goals for the future of the 
field, as he said things have to be changed up as 
to keep people coming back to see the field.

The Lansings wholeheartedly disagree with

this philosophy.

"I don't want to change what this is about," 
Don said, noting that the "Left and Center" 
property is now zoned commercial and has a 
com maze structure built into it. "This place is 
supposed to be simple, small and serene.

One of Raye's innovations is the Ghost 
Players, for which he is also the general man­
ager. Once a month, the Ghost Players emerge 
from the com in the outfield and play baseball 
on the field in uniforms like the ones worn by 
former players in the movie. While Raye main­
tains this is very popular with visitors, Becky 
recalls a different reaction.

"People were coming up to us and telling us 
that we were mining what the field is supposed 
to be about," she said. "People come here to see 
the field and get a chance to play on it, not to 
see semi-pro players play and have to watch

The Lansings say that the field is one of the 
top tourist attractions in the state, and the say­
ing, "Is this heaven? No, if s Iowa" has become 
something of an unofficial state slogan.

They anticipate no slowdown in the number 
of people who come to the field despite the fact 
the movie was made over a decade ago.

"As long as we keep it the way it is, people 
will keep coming," Don said. "I couldn't live 
with myself if I shut it down. I get a lot of satis­
faction in bringing people together."

Becky calls die field a "labor of love, a love 
that is renewed through every visitor who sees 
it for the first time."

Obviously a popular landmark, the field has 
frequently been a target for rental by big com­
panies. But the Lansings have no interest in 
being corporate sellouts.

"Although we have been approached many 
times, we want this to always be a place where 
anyone can come and be a celebrity," Becky 
said.

As the Lansings age, the future of the field is 
somewhat in doubt. Also, Raye and the firm he 
represents continue to push for renovations 
such as batting cages, Becky said.

"We can't do this forever, It is a drain, with 
both of us putting over 40 hours a week into the 
field," she said. "But we will keep it going as 
long as we can."

When the procession of cars is seen driving 
up to the field in the final shot of the movie, it 
is Don Lansing who is behind the wheel of the 
first car. The farm has been home to the Lansing 
family since 1906, housing four generations.

"Baseball has a real heritage, and there is a 
real legacy to this farm," Don said. "We are a 
real family, plopped in the middle of real

Don and Becky Lansing own the majority of the property where the “Field of Dreams" sits. The 
two put in over 40-hours-a-week each to maintain the field.

America. The people we meet and the thanks 
we get for maintaining the field are worth more 
than any amount of money."

One day this past June, the field was visited 
by three generations of the Walsh family, 
including members from New Hampshire,
Illinois and Indiana.

"If you are ever in the Midwest, you've got to 
go to Dyersville. It is a very special trip," said 
Patrick Walsh, who came from Salisbury, N.H., 
with his wife and two teenage daughters and 
was joined at the field by his parents. 
It is 
peaceful place, not commercialized in any way.
It's wonderful to get to go onto the field and
actually play."

Which is just the way the Lansings want to

keep it.

"People will come. They will come for rea­
sons they cannot fathom. They'll turn up on 
your driveway and not even know why they 
are doing it. You'll say, 'Of course we don't 
mind if you look around.' It's money they 
have, but it's peace they lack. It will be as if 
they dipped their faces in magic waters."

see the cornfield outfield and the blue Iowa 
sky. The field is open to the public at no cost.

Baseball’s heart 
beats in Iowa

David
Sessions
Daily Texan 

Columnist

DYERSVILLE, Iowa — With all the talk 
lately about juiced balls, superstars demand­
ing trades and the possible demise of small- 
market teams like the Montreal Expos, it's 
easy to ask the question: Is there anywhere 
in this world where baseball still means 
something, where die game our fathers held 
so dearly in their hearts exists in its purist 
form for all to enjoy?

Fear not, jaded baseball fans. Such a place 
exists, quite literally in the m iddle of 
now here, and a sim ple pilgrim age to 
Dyersville, Iowa is all it takes to rekindle 
your love for America's pastime. One stop at 
die Field of Dreams, and you'll know exact­
ly what I'm talking about.

Baseball is alive and well.
At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, 
and knowing that I can't possibly say it any 
better than James Earl Jones did in the 1989 
film, I'm going to tell you about the most 
unadulterated baseball thrill in the world, a 
field carved into an unending sheet of com 
where dreams really do come true.

Is this heaven? Not quite, but i f s about as 
close as w e die-hard baseball lovers can get 
in this life. Besides, as a peerless philosophy 
professor here at U T once said, there's no 
baseball in heaven — who would strike out 
in a world of eternal bliss? So the field isn't a 
bad substitute for the time being.

The game at Its purest

The handful of people assembled at the 
Field of Dreams when I arrived almost 
immediately invited my colleague and me 
to join them for a little game of pepper. It 
was no surprise that I managed to hit only 
one ball out of the infield — I was much too 
awestruck to concentrate on the pitch.

The grass seemed greener, the sky bluer 
and the few clouds whiter. I f s dichéd, but 
i f s the truth — this place is pure magic. 
Under these circumstances, I had forgotten 
all about the short fences at Enron Field.

Leave it to a couple from Chicago on their 
way across America to Los Angeles to 
remind m e of those struggling Astros. I was 
sure, after w e mentioned we were from 
Texas and the young lady began to ask what 
w e thought about the 'Stros that the reverent 
feeling was about to wear off and give way 
to the cynical sportswriter mentality.

W hat she said reminded me that baseball 

will never die.

"I love baseball," she said, as if her pres­
ence at the field wasn't evidence enough of 
that fact. "Jose Lima is m y favorite player."

Oh, boy. Jose Lima, who has shouldered 
m uch of foe burden of foe Astros' beyond- 
disrm l 2000 season, going 4-14 with a 7.25 
ERA? T h a t Jose Lima?

"I don't care if they are in last place," she 
beam ed of the major leagues' undisputed 
worst team, which at 43-72 is on pace to lose 
more than 100 games this season. "I love 
Jose Lima and I love foe Astros."

How refreshing it was, in this age of band­
wagons and champion-chasers, to see a fan 
whose allegiance could not be tested by 
even foe worst of seasons.

What matters about baseball

A visit with foe Lansings, the owners of 
foe field who still live in foe farmhouse that 
overlooks it, reminded me of why some 
people — myself included — spend foe 
winter looking forward to the day that 
pitchers and catchers report to spring train­
ing. To us, Opening Day is a religious holi­
day, and Dyersville is holy ground.

You see, the game is all fo af s important in 
Dyersville, and i f s all fo a f s really important 
at any of foe 30 major league stadiums, their 
bright lights and outrageous beer prices 
notwithstanding.

N o matter w ho's at foe plate, no matter 
what foe score is or how far out of first place 
your team is, there will always be a special 
quality inherent in the game. Baseball punc­
tuates foe past with stories of Ruth, 
DiM aggio, Williams — tales of mighty 
heroes. But no one is greater than foe game 
itself, and the Field of Dreams is a monu­
ment to its power.

So for a minute or two this season, forget 
foe small stuff. Forget how bad foe Astros 
are or how expensive a trip to the ballpark is. 
Forget you ever heard the words "salary 
arbitration." Enjoy the home runs, no matter 
how cheap they are, and let baseball be base­

ball.

A s we were piling into our car at closing 
time — after 6 p.m., foe Lansings under­
standably would like to be left undisturbed 
to enjoy their hom e — we noticed the 
w om an from Chicago running to o u r car 
d oor I figured 1 must have left my tape 
recorder notepad or wallet lying around, in 
all foe confusion, but when I opened the 
d oor all she had in her hands was a picture.
It was of her and Jose Lima, and it was 

signed by Lima himself.

Long live baseball, and may foe Field erf 

Dreams always remain to show us its soul.

H O U STO N — M aybe ou tfield ers should

T h a t's how the b all often plays at the 
quirky new hom e o f the H ou ston A stros, 
w here ev erything hit into the ou tfield can be 
an adventure, esp ecially if it m eets one of the 
od d -angled spots on the fences or the hand - 
operated scoreboard.

P lay e rs co m p la in ab o u t the u n certa in 
bou nces but N ew York M ets m anager Bobby 
V alentine, after ob servin g Enron for the first 
tim e, gave it a stam p of approval despite its 
tw ists and turns.

"H o w long has Fenw ay been aro u n d ?" he 
asked of the storied park in Boston. "T h e y ' ve 
got that jagged fence that could be consid ­
ered a hom e field ad vantage. I don t think of 
it (E nron) as quirky."

B u t E nron does hav e its spots, such as the 
left-field scoreboard , m ade of w ood and 
fram ed in steel. The ball can com e off soft,

Even third basem en and shortstops must 
be aw are of line drives hit into left field, 
w hich has stand s ju tting to w ithin three feet 
of the left field foul line. B alls som etim es hit 
fair and curve foul into the wall, then back 
onto the field closer to infielders than the left 
fielder.

V alentine w o n 't hear of that as criticism 

either.

"Y eah, ju st like Fenw ay," he said. The 
first thing the coach does w hen they go into 
Fenw ay is tell the shortstop, 'If the ball goes 
into left field, you get out th ere.'"

A stros ou tfield er D aryle Ward has spent 
m uch of the season trying to devise a plan 
for left fieid. H e 's still w orking on it.

" It's still an adventure for m e," Ward said. 
"T h ere are so m any angles. It m ight go off to 
center field or it m ight go straight up. You 
ju st have to give you rself enough room to 
play the ball regardless of w here it goes."

Batters also m ust be aw are of the playing

"S o m etim es you can hold them to a single 
if the ball com es right to you ," Ward said. 
"So m etim es it com es back hard and helps 

you o u t."

M ets outfielder D arryl Ham ilton played 
three innings in left field 
in W ednesday 
night's 12-5 victory and disagrees with his 
m anager about som e portions of the stadium .
H am ilton is esp ecially critical of the hill in 
deep center field that rises 30 degrees to the 
fence, creating a possible hazard for fielders 
retreating on the rare fly balls that get that 

far.

" I'm m ore critical of center field becau se of 
that h ill," H am ilton said. "1 know they want 
to build like the old ball parks but som etim es 
they can get too cute. That hill can really be a 
distraction to som e of the super athletes of 

today."

Still, H am ilton benefited from the od d ­

the left-field bleachers that jut out onto the 
field and skipped into the v isito r's bullpen

around that corner to try to catch the ball, 
H am ilton said. "T h a t's a serious obstru ction

M ets center fielder Jay Payton has his 
strategy for the hill: He ignores it and the 
fence behind it, 436 feet from the plate.

" I t's got that big hill out there but there 
aren't m any balls hit out there so 1 basically 
take it out of the p ictu re," Payton said. "1

into their six-game series with foe El

foe Round RiKk 
Express have throw n dow n foe 
proverbial gauntlet. Unfortunatley 
for foe Express, they have done so 
for themselves.

Before a crowd of 9,121 at Dell 
Diamond Thursday, the Express (29- 
19) fell to foe Diablos (34-14) by a 
score of 7-5. The loss drops foe 
Express to five games behind the 
Diablos in foe Western Division 
with a 10-16 record against El Paso 
this season.

"People are placing more impor­
tance on this series than necessary,"

Express manager Jackie Moore said. 
"W e already have our ticket to the 
dance, so this is not a do-or-die situ­
ation by any means."

For seven innings, foe Expiess 
offense stayed silent with only one 
runner ever reaching third base. E l 
Paso starter Blake Mayo (8-2) kept 
Round Rock scoreless for seven 
innings, equaling foe team high of 
13 strikeouts and yielding only six 

"M ayo really did his job tonight," 
Moore said. "H is experience makes

Rattlers set 
for Diesel

By Scott McDonald
Daily Texan Staff

Creedenee Clearwater Revival .once 
asked foe question, "And 1 wonder, still 
1 wonder, who'll stop the rain?

The question everyone in the North 
American Football League must be 
asking is, "W ho'll stop the Austin 
Rattlers?"

The Rattlers (3D) have turned their 
inaugural season of hopeful success 
into one of championship expectations. 
They have crushed opponents with 
speed, power and a strong defense. 1 he 
Rattlers look to strike down another 
victim tomorrow night when the Dallas 
Diesel come to town. Kickoft is set for 
8 p.m. at Nelson Field.

"When we're playing our best foot­
ball, 1 don't believe there's a team that 
can beat us," Rattlers head coach Bucky 
Godbolt said.

He definitely has good reason to

believe this.

JMAFL 

behind 

The Rattlers, the No. 2-rated team in 
the 
Central 
Pennsylvannia, are averaging 6^ points 
and m o re than 500 y a rd s a game. The 
defense has scored twice on intercep­
tion returns this season and has not 
allowed a rushing touchdown. In two 
of its three games, the Rattlers have 
held the opposition to negative rushing 

yards.
' The Diesel (3-0) beat A/le, 32-14, last 
week and the Texas Storm, 9-6, the pre­
vious week. The* Rattlers defeated Azle 
and foe Storm, 83-6 and 59-12, respec­
tively. O n paper, this should be a walk­
away game for the Rattlers, and 
Godbolt thinks this hyped "Texas 
Shootout" will turn out to be more ot a 
blowout.

Rodriguez 
allowing three runs and five hits on six 
bases-on-balls. Rodriguez and eighth- 
inning reliever Mark Pefeails received 
no-decisions. Persails was credited for 
two runs, allowing two hits and a 
walk.

"Wilfredo improves with each out­
ing," Moore said. "He is gaining better 
command of his pitches, but he still 
needs to keep working."

El Paso broke the game's scoreless 
tie in the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly 
by shoftstop Alex Cintron. The fly-out 
scored Mayo, who walked three times 
for the evening.

The Diablos scored two more runs 
in the sixth, one of w hich was 
unearned. Attempting to turn a dou­
ble play, Express second baseman 
Keith Gin ter threw the ball past short­

stop Cesar Morillo and into left field, 
scoring El Paso left fielder Jack Cust. 
Later former Round Rock infielder 
Brian Dallimore drove in the Diablos' 
third run of the game with his first 
triple of the season.

After El Paso's two additional runs 
in the top of tire eighth, the Express 
began their comeback with a walk to 
first baseman Kevin Bums. Ensberg • 
followed with a single and was forced 
out on a fielder's choice ground ball by 
Morillo. Then, after center fielder 
Colin Porter suffered his fourth of five 
strikeouts for the night, the Express' 
first of five RBI hits began with a dou­
ble by catcher Carlos Maldonado.

For Friday's game, Round Rock's 
Kyle Kessel (5-2, 2.55 ERA) will go 
against El Paso's Chris Cervantes (5-2, 
3.47 ERA), who threw the first 13- 
strikeout game for the Diablos on Aug.

RATTLERS, 
from 7

"(The Diesel) will be coming in here 
looking for a close game, but they're not 
going to get it," Godbolt said. "T h e /v e 
been to our games and seen ho w ^o o d 
we are, now th e /re going to really find 
out what we can do."

Rattlers players are excited about the 
Diesel coming to town. Tight end 
Pharoah Dixon said he foresees a big 
night from the offense.

"I expect a big game every time we 

step on the field," Dixon said.

Just like every opponent the Rattlers 
have played, no film was available from 
the Diesel to prepare for tomorrow's 
game. Dixbn said it doesn't matter 
because for the Rattlers, practices are 
usually more physical than our games 
and we're ready for anything.'

Godbolt said adjustments are usually 

m ade by the third series of the game.

Quarterback Ed Moore said no film, 
no problem. He said the Rattlers 
"approach each game with the attitude 
that the other team is just as good as 

us."
' 

"We come out each game respecting 
the ability of every team we play. We 
play our game and let the score take 
care of itself," Moore said.

Scoring hasn't been a problem so far 
for his team. The Rattlers' first-half scor­
ing average (35) is more than most 
team s score in one game. Claude 
Mathis and Eric Bernard are each rush­
ing for more than 100 yards a game and 
Arturo Martinez poses another tremen­
dous threat at fullback. On his first two 
carries against the Storm, Martinez had 
touchdown runs of 45 and 3 yards. His 
64-yard punt return was called back for

an illegal block.

Tomorrow's game is the first of the 
season at Nelson Field. Their previous 
tw o hom e games were at Burger 
Stadium. The Rattlers and Diesel will 
also meet next Saturday, Aug. 19 in 

Dallas.

Can anyone stop die Austin Rattlers? 
If any team on its schedule has a chanoe, 
it should be the Diesel in one of these 
two back-to-back games. Should the 
Rattlers have another blow out this 
week, Austin might begin making 
NAFL playoff plans.

B less 
the Child

Director: Chuck Russell 
Starring: Kim Basinger 
Jimmy Smits 
Rufus Sewell 
Showing at: Gateway, Lake Creek,
Lincoln, Barton Creek Square, Riverside

By Erin Steele
Daily Texan Staff

Bless the Child is really about a custody battle with 
God in one comer, Satan in the other, and a prophet­
ic six-year-old girl stuck in the middle.

This spirituality-injected meditation on Kramer vs. 
Kramer is by far the most compelling element of the 
film's Babushka-doU plot. Peel away the supernatu­
ral thriller/police drama /gorefest encasement and 
Bless the Child finds its soul. Too bad screenwriters 
Tom Rickman, Clifford Green and Ellen Green didn't 
have more faith in their story at its most basic level.

The tyke at the center of the theological tug-of- 
war is Cody (Holliston Coleman), a "special" child 
whose drug-addict mother abandons her. Raised by 
her aunt Maggie (Kim Basinger), doctors diagnose 
the young Cody as autistic, but Maggie suspects 
that there may be something more Sixth Sensc-ish at 
work. Cody, however, doesn't see dead people; 
she's blessed with more useful accessories, such as 
healing hands and telekinesis.

The possession of these otherworldly powers 
doesn't bode w ell for Cody in the wake of a string 
of child murders. A ll of the victims were found 
bearing a sacrificial mark of the occult, and all were 
bom on the same date: Dec. 16, 1993. Wanna guess 
when our young heroine made her earthly debut?

These circumstances make the re-entrance of 
Cody's long-lost mother extra suspicious, especially 
with Mom's new, rich hubby in tow. The man is Eric 
Stark (Rufus Sewell), a former child star of Family 
Days — a fact made all the more ironic considering 
Sewell's brunette-tinged Danny Bonaduce looks. 
Stark's new status is that of a wealthy businessman 
via his Scientology-esque religious organization.

He's also an evil occult practitioner who knows 
exactly how valuable Cody's powers can be. 
Determined to convert the future prophet, Stark

Holliston Coleman, left, and Oscar winner Kim Basinger star In Bless the Child. The suP®rnf ^*r a l o f 
a gifted young girl, the film fails to live up to the standards of more original fare, like The Sixth Sense

kidnaps the girl and tries unsuccessfully to sway
her to the dark side through a series of spiritual 
"tests." Running parallel to this story is Maggie's 
attempt to recapture her niece, and FBI agent John 
Travis' Oimmy Smits) investigation regarding the 
child murders.

This barely scratches the surface of the labyrinthi- 
an plot, but Bless the Child is a film whose devil is in 
the details anyway. The film heaps on its bizarre 
developments with seemingly no idea of how they 
fit into the larger picture. People inexplicably dis­
solve into demonic form, saintly strangers appear 
on screen only to mysteriously vanish, hoards of 
imaginary rats periodically pop up, and gargoyles 
are given almost fetishistic attention. W hy is a film 
with such a simple good vs. evil mentality so con­
voluted?

The movie would have fared much better had it 
explored more extensively the dynamic between 
the angelic Cody and the satanic Stark. The two 
have an eerie bond worth examining, and Stark s 
tests involving Cody's unshakable faith do provoke 
some interesting questions. Sadly, Bless the Child 
loses confidence in its more spiritual motif and 
transforms into a blood-soaked version of Not

Without My Daughter. What could have befen an 
intelligent reflection on faith becomes nothing more 
than a hokey horror movie.

Bless the Child could have been a lot more than it 
is, but it's still a pretty fun ride through most of its 
running time; it's corny, but involving. The per­
formances are surprisingly good, especially from 
Basinger and Smits, although the two share rela­
tively few scenes together. Sewell, however, steals 
the show with his unblinking, fork-tongued deliv­
ery; his seemingly blank-stared benignity makes 
him all the more menacing.

Such an unapologetically evil villain deserves the 
perfect comeuppance, but Bless the Child blows it. 
There's no grand theological showdown between 
Cody and Stark — the choice of eternal salvation or 
damnation is overshadowed by director Chuck 
Russell's macho concoction of slow-mo, shootout 
and raging fire. The film tries to turn Catholicism 
into some sort of Rambo religion, with the hand of 
God working through gunfire instead of the little 
girl who is supposed to be "mankind's last hope". 
It's all a little unnecessary and messy and much less 
than the film deserves. Bless the Child is a decent film 
with a God-awful ending.

The review of the new comedy The 
Replacements will not run today.
The review will run early next week.

Jem raps his way 
to local showcase

Jeru The 
Damq|a

W hen: Tonight 

P layin g at: La Zona Rosa 

A lso Featuring: Mix Master 

Mike, KRStyles, DJ Massive

By Christopher Colettl
Daily Texan Staff

Almost 20 years ago, at the age of 
10, Jeru the Damaja began to write 
lyrics and rap. Growing up 
in 
Brooklyn, there was an ample amount 
of competition to make a name for 
himself amongst the masses. It was 
not until high school that Jeru the 
Damaja — bom Kendrick Jem Davis 
— began to truly set himself apart. 
W ith a definitively clear style, voice 
and delivery, Jem caught the attention 
of Brooklyn hip-hop pioneers 
Gangstarr, who helped him cultivate 
his talent.

W hile on tour with Gangstarr, he 
worked with the duo, freestyling

before returning to the studio with D J 
Premier. They gave him a one-track 
trial that was followed by a host of 
underground hip-hop classics. As part 
of the Gangstarr family, which includ­
ed L il' Dap of the Group Home and 
Bahamadia, Jem gained success under 
the production of D J Premier and 
Gangstarr's label, Payday Records. 
The Sun Rises in the East and The Wrath 
of the Math, along with the Gangstarr 
connection, brought Jem emcee credi­
bility, specifically in the hip-hop 
underground of New York City. His 
totally unique style, along with a deep 
voice, fit perfectly with this personal 
message.

H is connection w ith Gangstarr 
quickly dissolved as Jem took up an 
independent career on his new label, 
Know Savage Records. Heroz4Hire, 
his first album released under the 
label, attempted to decipher him from 
the dominant shadow of D J Premier's 
production. It also gave Jem, years 
later, a chance to discover new talents, 
work with different hip-hop cliques, 
as well as experiment with different 
genres. The most recent progression 
came in the form of an emcee discov­
ery, Mizmarvel, and his track on the 
RZA-produced soundtrack for Jim 
Jarmusch's Ghost Dog.

Political comedy alters
