Classified Woid A 9/22/03 WORLD BRIEFS U.N. report: African AIDS programs underfunded NAIROBI, Kenya — The AIDS epidemic represents the biggest challenge to improving the lives of people in Africa, but the d is­ ease can be contained with the right programs and the required resources, according to a U.N. report released Sunday. UNAIDS — the agency resporv sible for coordinating global efforts to fight AIDS — found innwative and proven programs and methods for preventing infec­ tion and treating those afflicted exist. But, researchers reported, programs were still too small and underfunded to slow the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The report, “Accelerating Action Against AIDS in Africa,” was released on the opening day of the 13th International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa, which opened Sunday in Nairobi with 8 ,00 0 delegates expected to attend. President to ask for U.N. help in stabilizing Iraq WASHINGTON — President Bush said Sunday he’s not sure the United States will have to yield a significantly larger role to the United Nations to make way for a new resolution on Iraq. And he continued to insist on an orderly transfer of authority to the Iraqis rather than the quick action demanded by France. In an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Brit Hume, Bush said he will declare in his speech Tuesday at the U.N. General Assem bly that he "made the right decision and the others that joined us made the right deci­ sion" to invade Iraq. But the president said he will ask other nations to do more to help stabilize Iraq. “We would like a larger role for member states of the United Nations to participate in Iraq,” Bush said in the interview to be aired Monday night. Asked if he was willing for the United Nations to play a larger role in the political developments in Iraq to get a new resolution. Bush responded, “I’m not so sure we have to, for starters.” But he said he did think it would be helpful to get U.N. help in writing a constitution for Iraq. “ I mean, they’re good at that,” he said. “Or, perhaps when an election starts, they’ll oversee the election. That would be deemed a larger role.” Compiled from Associated Press reports W o r l d & N ai'iqx T h k D a i i .y Tf.x.an Monday, S e p te m b e r 2 2 , 2 0 0 3 Page 3 STOCK WATCH Closing Friday, Septem ber 19 DOW JONES 9 ,6 4 4 .8 2 -14.31 \ NASDAQ 1 ,9 0 5 .7 0 -3.85 Iraq opens markets amid security concerns By Robert H.

Iraq also unveiled a new plan to open all sectors of the economy to foreign investment — except oil — to revive an economy shat­ tered by years of armed conflict, mismanagement and international sanctions. U.S. Treasury Secretary' John Snow said the plan offered "real p rom ise" of econom ic revival but cautioned that securi­ ty in a country still facing dailv violence would be a prerequisite for recovery. In a sign of the country's ongo­ ing security crisis, the U.S. mili­ tary reported two soldiers from the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade were killed when mor­ tars struck a U.S. base at the Abu Ghraib prison on the western outskirts of Baghdad about 10 p.m. Saturday. Thirteen other sol­ diers were w ounded the attack. N o prisoners were hurt. in Shortly before the Abu Ghraib shelling, a soldier from the 3rd Armored Cavalry' Regiment was killed when a roadside bomb exploded near his H um vee out­ side Ramadi, about 60 m iles west of the capital, the military' said. Those deaths brought to 165 the number of American soldiers in Iraq since President killed Bush declared an end to major fighting on May 1. During the heavy fighting before then, 138 soldiers died.

Leticia Van de Putte spread the "angry left" mes­ sage Saturday in the Democrats' broadcast response to President Bush's weekly radio address. "The three R's: recount, recall and re-districting — are the new playbook for a narrow Republican majority attempting to use government to expand partisan power," Van de Putte said. The Senator added added that recent events are part of "... a national pattern that threatens to make a mockery of our precious democracy — where the powerful change the rules when the people get in their way." The Senator's speech crystallizes the thoughts of many Democrats. The 2000 election still irks some Democrats, who cite the election was "stolen." The fact remains that all official recounts declared George W. Bush the victor. The exhaustive media recounts found that Bush won by 493 votes. The California recall, initiated by Republicans, seeks to oust Democratic Gov. Gray Davis from the governors man­ sion. California law allows for such an exercise. While the current redistricting battle serves as evidence for why drawing district lines should be left to bipartisan com­ mittees instead of politicians, Democrats are now getting abused by the same system they exploited for years while in the majority. Of course, that does not justify the power-grab. Similar to the opposition offered for the results in the 2000 election and the California recall, hyperbole and exaggera­ tion are too often a part of the Democratic resistance to redistricting. In her radio address Saturday, Van de Putte urged President Bush to "call Karl Rove into your office and tell him to end the worst attack on minority voters since the pas­ sage of the Voting Rights Act." Van de Putte also said redis­ tricting could "deny die voting rights of more than one mil­ lion Hispanics and African-Americans." The battle for redistricting is about Democrats and Republicans, not racism and discrimination. Some of Van de Putte's arguments against redistricting — a Supreme Court approved map is in place, Senate voting rules are being violated — are valid. However, attempts by Democrats to make the redistricting battle a civil rights fight unneccesarily turns a partisan issue into a racial one. Frustration over losing the White House, majorities in the House and Senate, a possible (or probable) decrease in the number of Democratic members from the Texas House del­ egation and having a governor recalled has left some Democrats flummoxed and angry. Losing politically has lead to D em ocrats flailing rhetorically. Responding to such setbacks with fiery conspiracy theory rhetoric and racism charges just make Democrats look silly. Instead of the shallow rhetoric, Democrats should focus on their own platform and Republican failures (there are many) to win the votes necessary to take back control. Democrats should raise the level of the debate, not the number of hollow accusations. white trash students that came to this uni­ versity accidentally, when they meant to go to A&M or OU.

It is unfortunate that the researchers at Harvard are attributing their time to som e­ thing that is already known by the general public. It is true that the “ solution" to this extraordi­ nary research is not really a solution at all to the real prob­ lems of drunk driving, underage alcohol use and alcoholism . However, there are efforts in the works to begin a program on the UT campus for freshmen to take that would educate them on some of the current and perti­ nent information on brain devel­ opment and the effects alcohol has in the developm ent process. This program is in no way going to stop many of the problems previously stated. However, at least there would be more peo­ ple making educated decisions. There are people out there con­ ducting more important research than our friends at Harvard.

By allowing one network to con­ trol more coverage, you neatly starve out competition. After all, when ABC has all the money, obtained by its partnership with the Disney megacorp, there’s no way for CBS and NBC to win rights to the Olympics or the Super Bowl or the next Survivor clone. And while I don’t trust Disney farther than I can throw a full grown Mickey Mouse, I trust Fox News and its “ No Spin Zone” even less. However, imagine a region of the United States com­ pletely dominated by bought-out right/left-wing media. Imagine radio completely taken over by Rush Limbaugh. Or a large por­ tion of daytime television pro­ duced by Monica Lewinsky. Currently, the voting American public seem s evenly split along party lines, so there’s no audi­ ence shortage for a heavily pro­ gressive or conservative view­ point. Worse still, there’s nothing to stop special interest groups like the NRA or the ACLU from seeping into the public eye by dropping a few million in the laps of the heavily debted megacorps who currently control much of the available media.

I’ll tell you why. I don’t know if you remember, but the University wasn’t any happier with the pre-Hopwood levels than they were immediately proceeding the decision. The powers-that-be have always strived to attain the unattainable: a diversity in the University that reflects, as closely as possible, the diversity of the state. They felt that their feet were tied before the Hopwood decision. They felt that their legs were cut out from under them by the Hopwood decision. And now they feel that they have been given the gift of flight by the Supreme Court’s latest decision. They want to throw away their wheelchairs and fly. I’m not saying that I agree with the University, mind you. I think that admission should be based on ability to succeed, not as a patch for social injustices.

Opening arguments in his mur­ der trial are set for Monday after­ noon. Durst, 60, is accused of killing Morris Black, a 71-year-old neigh­ bor, then dismembering the body and throwing the parts into Galveston Bay. Both lived at a low-rent Galveston apartment house. Durst has pleaded innocent by reason of self-defense and acci­ dent. When Black’s torso and sev­ ered limbs were found Sept. 30, 2001, floating in the bay, Durst had been living in a $300-a- month Galveston apartment under the guise of a mute woman. Black, whose head has never been found, lived across the hall from him. An autopsy blamed his death on “ homicide by unknown means." Galveston authorities didn’t dis­ cover Durst’s true identity until he jumped bail. They also learned he was wanted for ques­ tioning in the unsolved disap­ pearance of his wife, Kathleen, 21 years ago in New York and the unsolved Christmas Eve 2000 shooting death of a friend, writer Susan Berman, in Los Angeles, who was set to be questioned about his missing wife. If found guilty, Durst could face from five to 99 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. A gag order has prevented any of the trial participants from pub­ licly discussing the case. Shrimpers given 3 months to comply with regulations NEW ORLEANS — Gulf of Mexico shrimpers have been given three more months to fit their trawl nets with larger devices that pro­ tect endangered sea turtles from getting trapped, which environmen­ talists call an “appalling” decision by federal regulators. On Aug. 21, new federal rules went into effect mandating that shrimpers fit their nets with larger turtle excluder devices, or TEDs, which act as escape hatches for turtles such as the endangered loggerhead and leatherback that travel through the Gulf. But the new rules have not been enforced because of a shortage of the new TEDs on the market and an outcry by shrimpers that modifying existing TEDs does not work. “At town-hall meetings, shrimpers said the modifications that N0AA recommended were not working,’’ said David McKinney, deputy special agent in charge of the Gulf of Mexico for the N0AA. “ December is the point when everyone needs to have all the new TEDs installed." The new TEDs are designed to protect larger, mature turtles from getting killed. Experts argue that bigger turtles cannot get out of nets with the smaller escape hatches.

"I I'm going think to be expelled and deported," he said. Khattak claims he first heard news of the doctored transcripts when a U T official contacted him in earlv August. He said the official's charges stunned him: that Zaman, Khat­ from tak and another Pakistan, faked their transcripts to get into the University. friend Iqbal Shahid, Khattak says he is innocent, but he does not think the UT offi­ cials hearing his case will believe him. "I am very pessim istic," he said. Khattak, an econom ics senior, was enrolled at International Islamic University between 1998 and 2002, according to the regis­ trar. The same time that Zaman, his old high school buddy, was supposed to be there. He said he was enrolled, but Zaman was not. Khattak, Zaman and Sheihid, a com puter sciences senior, were friends Islam abad. Zam an wanted to make sure they attend­ ed the sam e university in the United States, according to a friend w ho said he had seen one of the doctored transcripts. in Zam an used a com puter to duplicate a transcript from Islamic University, added letterhead and a watermark not on the original and boosted Khattak's and Shahid's grades to improve their chances for admission at the University, said the friend, who asked that his name not be used. Zaman drew up another transcript for himself. "It w as really quite sim ple," said the friend. "It looked more valid than the original actually did." Khattak claims he and Shahid never knew that Zaman had tam­ pered with their transcripts. He said Zam an, who worked until July in the international admis­ sions office, had access to student records and may have continued more forgery. Students with know ledge of the investigation have said up to 10 people in all m ay be involved. Khattak, who expected to grad­ uate in December, said he has been attending Student Judicial Services hearings in hopes of clearing his name. "I've been in school for five years," he said. "I'v e worked way too hard to give up now." He said Shahid is also fight­ ing the U n iv e rsity 's charges. A ttem p ts to reach Shahid at hom e and at his job were u n su c­ cessful. fears Khattak returning to Pakistan, where he said Zam an's friends have threatened him and warned him not to cooperate with the University in its investi­ gation. But the prospect of staying in the United States does not seem any more appealing. He worries about retribution from Americans who will look at him and think "terrorist." "I feel very threatened because of my nationality, my religion, my race," he said. "If I had known it was going to be like this, I w ould not have com e here." A laid-back guy Zaman arrived at the Univer­ sity in spring 2002, according to the registrar's office. The Web site he shared with friends shows the only picture of him to be found in Austin: a slender man, 5-feet-ll- inches tall, writh light tan skin, dark hair and a moustache and goatee. Clad in a gray, buttoned shirt and khakis, he leans against a railing, staring coolly into the camera. He in the Sandpiper lived apartm ents in W est Cam pus, near several other Pakistani stu­ dents. Friends said he was laid- back, extroverted and good with Web sites. international He worked well with others at the adm issions office, Rachel Herrera, a co-work­ er, remembered. He seemed com ­ fortable in his environment. "U nless he had told me he was an international student — his accent was really faint — I had no clue- he hadn't been here for a long tim e," Herrera said. a classm ate He would chat about com put­ ers w ith in Information in Cyberspace, LIS 312. In that class, he was the group leader for a project on Internet gambling. To Stanley G unn the instructor, Zaman was straight­ forward. Intelligent. Jr., "It's a class of 28 students, and som e participate more than oth­ ers, and frankly, I liked him," Gunn said. When told of the alleged for­ gery, G unn rem em bered that Shahid, the third accused friend, also took his class, back in spring 2002. Then, Shahid had e-mailed him with a mysterious problem. "H e said that there was sopne mix-up, something to the effect that som e of the paperw ork that he filed wasn't what it should be," Gunn said. "H e was afraid he w ouldn't be a student at the University." Gunn said Shahid's problem developed because "somebody, when he was in Pakistan, had offered to file som e paperwork for him ." Shahid wanted the instructor to write a letter of support to the om budsman. Gunn was willing, but he never heard from Shahid again. If Shahid's problem involved the forged transcripts, this was not the only time the accused stu­ dents sought help. They visited Brian Haley, Student G overn­ ment president, over the sum mer to discuss their case, which was then pending w ith Student Judicial Services. Haley said he referred them to the ombudsman. Zam an's last enrollm ent date at the University was this sum­ mer. Friends said he w as one class shy of graduation. He never finished. Hidden behind FERPA After Zaman left, a lid of offi­ cial secrecy closed tightly over his affairs. A former co-worker said some international admissions em ploy­ ees were told not to talk with the press about him. The supervisor of Zam an's office would not com­ ment. O ther em ployees also would not answer questions. The director of the internation­ al office to discuss refused Zam an's case or confirm the exis­ tence of an investigation. Teresa Graham Brett, dean of students, would not provide spe­ cific information about the cases, fearing the students could face "threats and retribution" if she did so. "It's about just general those concern said in v o lv e d ," Brett, w hose office oversees Student Judicial Services. "W e're trying to hold that inform ation pretty closely." that Brett added transcript fraud at the University "is proba­ bly more common than we'd like to imagine." UT officials would not say how they had identified the forgery. To justify their secrecy, admin­ istrators cited the Federal Educa­ tional Right to Privacy Act, which is invoked routinely to close m ost records of student violations. Even when these records con­ cern criminal acts — such as haz­ ing, fraud or sexual assault — the privacy laws have been used by institutions of higher learning to keep information from reporters' inquiries records and open requests. through Crim es usually become public know ledge police reports and court records. But when the University conducts its own investigations and proceed­ ings without law enforcement, it may choose to disclose neither crim e nor punishm ent under FERPA. "It's not uncommon that a stu­ dent could violate the law and not be arrested and still go through Student Judicial Services," said UT Police Chief Jeffrey Van Slyke. "W hatever they handle through Student Judicial Services is their own business. We never really get involved." Brett said Student Ju dicial Services "alm ost never" brings cases to UTPD, w hich is the University's first contact with law enforcement. The transcript fraud was no exception. Van Slyke said the University did not involve,UTPD in investigating Zaman and his friends. Rene FBI spokesman in San Antonio, said his agency also never investigat­ investigators ed. would be more suited to the case, Salinas said. Im m igration Salinas, an Brett told the Texan she expected the University will deny an open records request for documents about the forgery and 37 other cases of records fraud committed in the past five years. Substance to their fears attention U.S. officials have paid to the forgery. A federal source who spoke on condition of anonym ity said sim­ ilar cases at other institutions have shown up on daily intelli­ gence sum m aries bu t never before at the University. He also said the U.S. governm ent would be interested in Zam an's case. The University called immigra­ tion, but the accused students' friends and apartm ent manager said they were never questioned by agents. H om eland Security officials would not comment. It's also hard to say what will happen to Khattak and Shahid. Karen Pennington, an im m i­ gration lawyer who represented several DallasJarea Muslims in post-Sept. 11 deportation hear­ ings, said it is likely the students will be charged with an immigra­ tion violation and face deporta­ tion. W hile they could be prosecut­ ed for such felonies as providing false information to the govern­ m ent, an im m igration charge would not require a criminal con­ viction, Penningfon said. But their fates are not yet deter­ mined. Even if they were charged, an immigration court would take circumstances into account. And the student judicial cases have yet to be resolved. Pennington, a UT graduate, said the University processes too many international applications to verify each transcript efficient- !y- "There is a certain amount of trust built into the system ," she said. Dheeraj Sood, a U T graduate from India, worked with Zaman in the international admissions office. He said he felt compelled to call the office and say he had no role in the deception. "The only thing I'm pissed off about — I'm not sure if [the tran­ script fraud] is true or not — even if it's not true, people assume that everybody from that part of the world is like this," Sood said.

The grill officially reopened as Beso’s Grill Saturday. The owners also removed a longhorn logo that used to act as an apostro­ phe in the name Bevo’s and replaced it with a new logo: a pair of red lips. The University filed a lawsuit against Bevo’s Grill in August. The University claimed that the restaurant was infringing on the trademarked name Bevo and the longhorn logo. Despite these changes, the University is still pressing on with the lawsuit. “We have incurred significant costs over the course of this suit,” said Mike Godfrey, legal counsel for UT System. The University will continue its suit to recover those costs, including attorney’s fees and court costs, he said. “ UT won’t back off,” said Deborah Mansoor, owner of Beso’s Grill. “ Everyone can’t believe that UT has been so fierce about [the lawsuit].” — John Ow ens Baylor scientist attempting to identify border remains WACO — Lori Baker, a forensic scientist at Baylor University, is beginning a project to try to match unidentified remains found along the border with Mexican and Central American families who have not heard from relatives since they left for the United States.

Families of the missing will be able to complete an online form asking them to provide a detailed physical description of their rela­ tive as well as what the person likely wore, where they were last seen and their possible destina­ tion.

"We have the potential for many more peo­ ple to have access to things on the Web." the of An institutional repository is a Web archive where research fac­ ulty can display working papers, articles and even multimedia con­ tent such as video or sound bites before publishing.

Currently, researchers com m u­ nicate their ideas and discoveries bv publishing articles in scholarly journals such as Science or Nature, Johnson said. It car, take up to three years to publish ar article, and journals are only available by subscription. The repositories can improve communication because material is available to more people in real time, and it's free, Johnson said. Records are also kept longer and are easier to access in an institu­ tional repository. Different departments of a uni­ versity would store different material in the archives.

They beat up the Rice backs in the 48-7 win, holding the Owls to 51 vards in the first half and 192 for the game.

"The thing we couldn't do tonight was give up the big play, and 1 thought the guys did a much better job in the area " O f eight Rice drives in the first half, four resulted in three-and- outs and two were turnovers. At one point, Texas had 16 first dow ns to one for Rice. The closest Rice got to the end zone in the half w as reaching the Texas 42-yard line, when they subsequently punted. A determined Horns defense was the reason for the shutdown of Rice, as a renewed focus on fin­ tackles m aterialized ishing Saturday. W henever a Rice play would develop, a w hite Texas jersey would be there to bring it down, and on many occasions it was five or six jerseys. Texas was going to finish their tackles this time and with half the defense in on it.

"There's no fun in tackling by yourself, you want to have all your friends with you.' Texas forced three turnovers for the gam e w hile giving up no stranger to upsetting losses. But to younger players who have yet to face adversity, the difficult task set forth after last week's setback was put into perspective following Tuesday's post-practice meeting.

Texas players were silent the rest of the week, intent on run­ ning over an Owls' squad that had already suffered defeat at the hands of Duke and rival Houston. And while a win over a heavy underdog w on't convince too many skeptics that the Longhorns are for real, the players say it's a step in the right direction. "We didn't feel good after losing last week," said Williams, who moved atop the school's career- receiving-vards list with an 18- yard touchdown catch-and-run in the second quarter.

Although Texas showed their talent in stretches and kept each gam e close, Nebraska utilized precision ball control and tough serving to keep the Longhorns off balance and unable to put togeth­ er a serious run. "Nebraska's serving was awe­ some," junior team captain Kathy Hahn said. "We played a good team. We really need to pick up our ball control, because offensiv ely we can hang with Nebraska, but nght now our passing hurt us tonight." The loss evened the Longhorn's Big 12 record to 1-1 and proved to head coach Jerritt Elliot that thev still have a way to go before they can compete with the elite teams around the conference and nation. "W hen we passed the ball well today, we were executing very well and setting at a good clip, especially early in game one," Elliot said. "T h at's the difference right now, is when we can pass the ball, we can play with a lot of teams, but until we get that m en­ tality, that's the biggest thing.

Florida State m an­ aged just 3.9 yards on 24 carries. So it must have been the 458 yards through the air, 394 of which belonged to junior Chris Rix, that sunk C olorado 47-7 Saturday afternoon. This was supposed to be a week of im provem ent for the Buffaloes, who have now surren­ dered 35 or more points three times in four games and 94 total in the last tw o weeks. "W e have got to find som e answers," Colorado head coach Gary Barnett told the Associated Press. The defending Big 12 North champions have now dropped two in a row after jumping out to a head-turning 2-0 start. The problems aren't limited to defense anymore, either. The Buffaloes put up roughly half of the total yardage Florida State did (551 to 275) and scored only once on Erik Greenberg's second-quar­ ter 81-yard pass to wideout/ return specialist Jeremy Bloom. Colorado hung tight throughout the first half and trailed by only nine heading into the break. Three Seminole field goals — the final one coming as the half expired — proved that Colorado (2-2,0-0) was successfully defending its end zone and keeping a powerful offense from breaking the game wide open. But the dam broke midway through the third quarter when Rix connected with junior Craphonso Thorpe on a 56-yard touchdown pass to extend the Florida State lead to 26-7. Thorpe finished the contest with a pair of touchdowns and 205 yards on eight receptions. Less than eight minutes later, two more Seminóles had found the end zone, including Chauncey Davis, who returned a blocked punt 14 yards to give 10th-ranked Florida State a 40-7 advantage.

Texas takes care of business Natalie England Sports Editor HOUSTON — No surprises for Texas this weekend. The Longhorns did what every­ one thought they would do — win and win big. Even before kickoff, it was no question that Texas was a much better football team than Rice, just as the 48-7 score reflected, although the numbers could have been much worse, had Mack Brown not graciously released his foot from the throttle in the second half. And against Rice, people finally saw what type of an offensive powerhouse Brown had imagined the Longhorns embodying since summer. Hopefully, it will last, because Saturday, Texas used an offensive formula that can easily dismantle an underrated Tulane team as well as lead them through Big 12 play. And it all started with Cedric Benson. Benson had been written out of the offense early in games against New Mexico State and Arkansas when Texas went to a strictly passing attack. Brown had suggested that both the offensive line and Benson w ere trying too hard; Benson especially was always looking for the explosive play. Benson wrote him self back in Saturday. The explosive plays found him against Rice, bolting away on early runs of 2 0 ,1 7 and 15 yards. He hit holes, danced around defenders and often carried several Owls on his back on the rare occasion they were able to grab hold. "I'm me week in, w eek out," Benson said. "I just needed the opportunity." Brown gave it to him, handing Benson the ball early and often, and the offensive line responded, thrashing open gaping holes in Rice's defensive front. It was a rhythmic boost for Benson, who got the feel for run­ ning the football again, and it should be a confidence boost for the o-line, after it dism antled Rice's eight-man front. But with the way Benson was running and the line blocking, Rice could have stacked all 11 on th e^lin e. It w ouldn't have mattered. "Cedric probably could have had 200 yards tonight," Brown said. Instead, Benson settled for 130 and a cold shot of Gatorade for most of the second half. Except for a failed fake punt early in the first quarter, the offense executed to perfection, looking polished and, dare I say, saucy. Benson scored one of his three touchdowns on a 59-yard pass from Chance M ock after lining up in the slot. It was a different look for Texas and a good one. Brown got Vince Young in the gam e on the final series of the first quarter, and he d id n 't dis­ ap p o in t — lead in g the team dow n the field for a touchdow n, w hile also keeping the ball for early runs of five and 22 yards. By design, Young didn't throw the ball much, but he was three- for-five for 34 yards, including a crucial 10-yarder to B.J. Johnson on his first possession to keep the drive alive on third down. "This experience should help Vince down the line," Brown said. And help the Longhorns it would seem. Not that Mock needed much help. He generated scores on four of his first Five series and looked calmly confident, throwing for a perfect eight-of-eight. Mock and Young continued to alternate series into the second half, and Young continues to look poised, maturing, it seems, with each snap — he directed Texas to three touchdow ns on his first three possessions. This quarterback rotation gives Texas a dangerous wrinkle in its offensive playbook — Mock and Young coupled to generate more than 500 yards of offense. " T h e /re both excellent quarter­ backs," said Rice head coach Ken Hatfield. "Vince certainly showed he's a threat at all time, and he hit some clutch passes, too. Each one has something to contribute to them winning a championship." And allowed to. they both should be Page 10 TE X A S S O C C ER Horns drop a of games during weekend By Elizabeth McGarr Daily Texan Staff Invitational Twenty-nine seconds. Less than one-halt of a minute. That's all the time it took for Tina Frimpong to show the nearly 1,(XX1 fans at the Husky in Seattle, Wash., that she didn't want to lose to the Texas women's soccer team. That's because it took her exactly that much time — or little time — to score two goals and establish a 2-0 lead the I luskies would ne\ er relinquish to the Longhorns. The No. 14 Huskies (5-1-2) only out shot the No. 0 Longhi>rns (4-4) by a 6-5 margin in the first half, but Frimpong scored back-to-back goals in the 17th minute of play to give her team the advantage. "W ashington is a good team that is well-coached and well- organized ," Texas head coach Chris Petrucelli said. "Frim pong was the difference in the match. She is a force up front with her com bination of strength, speed and skill, and we just did not have an answer for her." After Friday's loss to defending national champion Portland, fresh­ man Nikki Thaden attempted to answer with the weekend's only offense for the Longhorns when her penalty kick found the net early in the second half. Her third goal of the season cut the Husky in half, 2-1, but Nikki lead Gamble's cross from Kim Taylor and Frimpong with less than five minutes remaining in regulahon made it a 3-1 match. Despite managing four saves to Husky Lisa Brookens' five, freshman Dana Hall fell to 3-3 on the season with the loss, as the Huskies ended up out-shooting the Longhorns 12-11. Thaden and ju nior Kelly M cD onald each recorded three shots, while fresh­ man Ashley Foster added two of her own. Texas now' trails in the series 1-0-1 after a no-decision double overtim e game in Austin last season. the Longhorns The H uskies knocked off Fresno State 3-0 Friday before handing their fourth of four losses, all of which have come against Top 25 oppo­ nents. Texas dropped matches to Duke and North Carolina before losing two matches in Seattle. The Longhorns continued their unsuccessful streak against No. 20 Portland (6-2-0) Friday and fell to 0-4 all-time against the Pilots. It didn't take long for Portland to establish a scoring advantage over Texas. just over two minutes into the game. Pilot Jennifer Tuttle scored off an assist from Kristen Rogers to give her team an early 1-0 lead. Wanda Rozwadowska scored an unassisted goal before the half to put tlie Pilots up by two. Texas would end up out- shooting Portland 20-8, but freshman goalkeeper Cori Alexander coun­ tered the Longhorn attack with 10 saves. The Pilots went on to shut out Fresno State 1-0 in the last match of the Husky Invitational.

In game teams seemed to pick v\'here they left off game one, as Nebraska coasted to an earlv d-4 lead prompting Elliot to tr\' and mgroup his squad with a timeout. Texas came out finng as sophomore outside-hitter Dariam Acevedo slammed two kills by the Husker defen.se and the Longhorns inched closer at 8-10. But Nebraska quickly regrouped With the Huskers leading 22- 15, Acevedo elevated for a kill, but the ball fell out of bounds and Acevedo fell to the ground clutch­ ing her knee. The injuiy' seemed to continue Texas' tailspin, as they managed only four more points as Nebraska closed out the game at 30-19. With Acevedo's injure' and Nebraska on a hot streak the 10-m inute interm ission was much appreciated. "The team responded w'ell," Elliot said. "They were in good spirits in the locker rtxam, and w'e talked about [how'] its our ability to hold on to the ball control to go." But in the third game, the high- powered Nebraska attack again proved to be too much. Texas kept the game close early, as the score w'as tied at eight. But more ball- to another control Nebraska mn.

Others may have questioned him, but Benson said the one thing that never left him w'as the confi­ dence he had in his ability to make plays on the gridiron. It w'as that confidence — and a few touches of the football — w'hich sparked a rejuvenated squad to victory. "I never doubted m yself," Benson said.

"1 wanted to return the interception, but I blew' a w'heel or something." Rice was held to 27 yards passing and completed two attempts, and gained most of its 192 yards with the first-team offense against Texas' sec­ ond-team defense, finally scoring with 4:57 remaining on a Henderson six-yard mn. "We wanted the shutout pretty bad, but they com e and go," Vasher said. "W e w'anted the young guys to get some rep.s, and they played w'ell."

Marshall's defen.se also did an excellent job by not allowing Wildcats' tailback Darrtm Spailes to take over like he has been known to do this season. Sproles finished the game with 77 yards on 14 carries. Coming into Saturday, Sprc:>les had been averaging mughly 120 yards per contest. Marshall's defense al.so did an excellent job by not allowing Wildcats' tailback Darren Sprcvles to take over like he has been knovv'n to do this season. Spavles finished the game with 77 yards on 14 carries. Coming into Satualay, Spavles had been averaging mughly 120 yards jper contest. The focus on Sproles forced Schwinn to take on a heavy num­ ber of carries, and the backup averaged just slightly more than a one-yard average, finishing with 32 yards on 21 attempts. "We wanted to (get [Sproles] the ball more)," said Snyder, who added it would have taken far more than better run establish­ ment to turn the game around. "W e've got to help him. We can't anhcipate or expect that he is always going to be the guy that is going to bail you out."

Although freshman Brooke Stewart didn’t participate last week­ end at the Texas State Invitational, she returned to her hometown to compete in her first collegiate race as the Longhorns’ top finisher, plac­ ing 48th with 23:38. Sophomore Laura Altman finished just two seconds behind Stewart at 23:40 taking the 49th slot. During last year’s A&M Invitational, Altman was UT’s top finisher by placing 89th with a time of 24:50. Freshman Grace Ann Nathanson, competing in her second collegiate race, finished 59th at 23:55. “I’m really pleased with the team’s entire effort this morning," head coach John Hayes said. “Many of them were running a com petitive [six kilometer] race for the first time. I thought Laura Altman did exceptionally well, and she improved her time here from last year by over a minute. I think the whole team is coming together nicely, and I’m very pleased with their overall performance.” Freshman Cassi Pearson finished at 24:23, taking the 82nd spot while freshmen Liz Kennedy fol­ lowed Pearson, placing 85th with a time of 24:27. Other freshmen include Amber Reber, who complet-’ ed the race at 24:40 and ended in the 95th slot.

The Texas chapter of the ACLU is the only organization in the country that does an official report every year as part of its Banned Books Week. Lee Leffingwell, director of the banned books report for the ACLU, said through Texas open records requests, all school dis­ tricts are required to divulge what books are not being allowed in school libraries. The report also states that 20 in books are under restriction, is "The main goal of our project the p u blic," inform to Leffingwell said. A ccording the report, to M cKinney Independent School District, near Dallas, has the most banned books in the state, with five books banned and 11 chal­ lenged. Austin ISD has only one book banned. Leffingwell said the number of books banned has stayed almOst exactly the sam e as last year. The Texas ACLU has been providing these reports annually for the last seven years. This is the third year the Texas Library Association has joined in the report. Leffingwell said the number of banned books the last couple of years has been slightly higher than usual, mostly due to the increase in books challenged for their "m ystical content," such as the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. "R ig h t now Another motive of the project, Leffingwell said, is to help push for the implementation of a stan­ dardized process involved in the actual banning of a book. there is no statewide standardized process for the banning of books," he said. "In some schools, it can take only as much as a parent coming in and complaining, and immediate­ ly afterward, the principal forces librarians to take it off the shelf." The Texas Library Association hosted an event Sunday as part of the week, in which Liz Carpenter, Lyndon B. Johnson W hite House correspondent, said there is a need for freedom of choice in school libraries. "1 envision and hope for a free and open Texas where the flow of know ledge is not hampered by educators, who, w h eth er they know it or not, are short-chang­ ing our children," Carpenter said. Local shop BookPeople also got involved with Banned Books Week by teaming up with the ACLU and informing customers of the list. Alex Pippard, invento­ ry manager at BookPeople, said store employees selected 23 of their favorite banned books and wrapped them in brown paper with a red stamp "B A N N ED " printed on the outside. Pippard that of said one of the strangest bannings in the past the A m erican w as Heritage Dictionary, which peo­ ple objected to because they con­ sidered certain listed words to be obscene. T he dictionary is no longer banned anywhere in Texas. "T his particular dictionary is m ore likely to contain some slang w ords," Pippard said. NASA crashes Galileo into Jupiter Craft ends 14-year exploration with. deliberate collision dence of salty oceans on three of the planet's moons. Scientists consider one of three, Europa, the most likely place in the solar system to harbor extra­ terrestrial life. the By Andrew Bridges Associated Press PASADENA, Calif. — NASA's aging Galileo spacecraft deliber­ ately plunged into Jupiter's tur­ b ulent Sunday, atm osphere bringing a fiery conclusion to a 14-year, $1.5 billion exploration of the solar system 's largest plan­ et and its moons. The unm anned spacecraft, traveling at nearlv 108,000 mph, w'as tom apart and vaporized by the heat and friction of its fall through the clouds after it dove into the atmosphere at 2:57 p.m. EDT as planned. At NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, hundreds of scien­ tists, engineers and their families counted down the last seconds before the spacecraft ended its 2.8 billion-m ile journ ey from Earth. "W e haven't lost a spacecraft, w e've gained a new' stepping stone said Torrence Johnson, the mission's project scientist. exploration," in Rosaly Lopes, another scientist on the mission, called Galileo's descent "a spectacular end to a spectacular m ission." "Personally, I am a little sad. I had the tim e of my life on Galileo, and I'm a little sad to say goodbye to an old friend," Lopes added. Despite the glitches that plagued Galileo since its 1989 launch aboard the space shuttle Atlantis, it wras one of NASA's most fruitful missions. its D uring thrice-extended mission, Galileo discovered the first moon of an asteroid, wit­ nessed the impact of a com et into Jupiter and provided firm evi­ Am ong the most stunning of the 14,000 images returned by Galileo were those of the moon Io. Galileo caught some of the m oon's more than 150 volcanoes actively and plumes of dust and gas. spew ing lava “ I can’t believe the spacecraft collected data all the way in .” Claudia Alexander, Galileo’s last project manager "It had more surprises, better stuff waiting to be discovered than w e ever could have imag­ ined ," said Andy Ingersol, a Jupiter scientist at the California Institute of Technology. The last of Galileo's science measurements arrived on Earth after spacecraft w'as destroyed Sunday, taking 43 min­ utes to cross half a billion miles of space at the speed of light. the "I just can't believe the space­ craft collected data all the w'ay in ," tearful Claudia Alexander, Galileo's seventh and last project manager. said a N ASA initially considered leaving Galileo in orbit after it depleted its onboard store of fuel, which w'as used to trim its course on each of its 35 spins around Jupiter. Instead, it opted to crash the 3,000-pound Galileo to eliminate the possibility it could smack into the watery moon Europa and contam inate it w'ith any v A ssociated Press/N ASA Jupiter’s moon, lo, is shown in an im age taken by N ASA's Galileo spacecraft. G alileo concluded its 14-year, $1.5 billion exploration of Jupiter and its moons Sunday. m icrobes aboard. Were Earth bugs to survive on Europa, they future com prom ise could attempts to probe the moon for indigenous life, scientists feared. N ASA intends to return to Jupiter in a decade with another unmanned spacecraft called the Jupiter Icy M oons Orbiter. Galileo is the first planetary spacecraft NASA has intention­ ally destroyed since it steered the Lunar Prospector into the Earth's moon in 1999. into It is not the first, however, to dive Jupiter: A probe released by the spacecraft did so in 1995, collecting data about the planet's atmosphere for about an hour before it w'as destroyed. The largest challenge of the Galileo mission was the loss of the use of spacecraft's the um brella-like main antenna, which failed to unfurl two years after its 1989 launch. That forced NASA to rely on a sm aller anten­ na, which severely squeezed the amount of data Galileo returned to Earth. The intense radiation close to Jupiter also took its toll on the electronics of the spacecraft, itself powered by radioactive plutonium. the The spacecraft was named for G alileo G alilei, Italian astronom er who discovered Ju piter's four largest moons in 1610 and w'hose understanding of the mechanics of the solar sys­ tem som etim es ran afoul of Vatican orthodoxy. "Rem em ber, he w anted the truth, whatever it w as," said Jim Erickson, a former Galileo proj­ ect manager. "A nd we provided it."

Christina Ricci, W oody A llen . S to ck a rd C h a n n in g DlRKCl l I» B > : W oodv Allen The film 's plot is a clever vari­ ation of droll hum or that Allen is so fam ous for. After living w ith his girlfriend for a year, Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs), a strug­ gling com edy writer, begins to that his g irlfrien d d isco v er A m anda (C hristina Ricci) only enjoys sex outside of her rela­ tionship s. As h e stru gg les to d eny this fact to him self, he begins spending m ore and more tim e w ith D obel (A llen), an ag ing com ed y w riter full of advice, 50-cent w ords and theo­ ries about Jew ish persecution. Biggs does a fine job carrying th e story as A llen 's protege, stuttering and stressing his way through the movie. T h e p a r a l l e l s to A l l e n 's "A n n ie H a ll" are hard to m iss, and at a couple points, the film ac tu a lly lifts scen es d irectly from the 1977 O scar winner. W hile som e w ill decry the film as p roof that A llen has finally run o u t of id eas, A llen has actu ally done som eth in g very in terestin g here. Biggs' character is the same struggling com edy w riter Allen played back in 1977, and Dobel is this character after h e's aged 30 years. Basically, Allen remade "A nnie H all," except this time gave the protagonist his future self as a mentor. And lo, with D obel's advice, Falk m anages to get him self out of the rut that A llen w as still stuck in when "A nnie H all" concluded. E v e n d i s r e g a r d i n g t h e in trig u in g ideas about mistakes and regrets this quirky behavior lends itself to, the film is funnier and m ore narratively consistent than the rest of Allen's recent work. His dry writ is in top form here, as he stages some effective slapstick scenes, but a few mis­ steps, like a few too m any jokes that other A llen film s have already covered, and the fact that Ricci's character isn't very like­ able keep "A nything E lse" from becom ing the O pus Allen might have hoped for. N onetheless, it's good to see Allen in (alm ost) top form and relieving to find a com edy that gets laughs not through increas­ i n g l y u n o r i g i n a l g r o s s - o u t scenes, but through wit, conver­ sation and sim ple truths. Saturday’s Fest lively ACL, FROM 15 By Brian Clark Daily Texan Staff On the surface, writer/director W o o d y A l l e n 's l a t e s t w o r k "Anything Else" is a satisfying comedy dealing with the woes c a u se d b y the o p p o s ite sex . However, it is also Allen's most personal work in a long tim e, a film suggesting that while Allen may not have changed much in 30 years, perhaps he wishes he had. While Allen's many detractors will find nothing of interest here, others will find a witty film with sharp interesting characters dialogue, and m ultiple layers — for those interested in finding them. Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci star in Woody Allen’s romantic comedy, “Anything Else,” now in theaters.

"The Long Ride" was a highlight of the show, as was the sultry Spanish number "M il Besos" (1,000 Kisses), the title track from her most recent album, which was amazing despite Griffin's insistence that she is a "gringa." Bright Eyes lead singer Conor Oberst transfixed a sm all but intense crowd on the HEB stage. This was one of the most diverse crowds of the festival: kids holding cigarettes wearing hoodies and tons of black plastic bracelets min­ gled with men in cowboy hats and older couples in sling chairs. Fellow ACL fest performer Beth Orton joined the band for several numbers, and joined Oberst in swigs from the bottle of red wine he carried with him to the stage. "M otion Sickness" was strained and powerful; Oberst was angry but controlled. "You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will." was wild and raging, and it seems about as close to a love song as Bright Eyes comes. Everything at the festival was overpriced, and the rain made for muddy shoes and few chances to sit down and relax on your blan­ ket. Once an artist took the stage, though, it was easy to forget about wet socks and a soggy Stubb's c h o p p e d b e e f s a n d w i c h . Saturday's collection of artists were an amazing sampling of the differ­ ent styles and cultures that have bled through into the mainstream from Austin's live music scene.

Old 97fc, Bright Eyes and more impress festivalgoers By Ally Baxter Daily Texan Staff The morning dawned gray and cool, but the lack of sunshine didn’t keep local music fans and out-of-towners from trickling into Zilker Park early Saturday. The trickle turned into a steady stream, and by noon the festival grounds were vast fields flooded with color. Festivalgoers floated mylar bal­ loons tied to their backpacks, chatted on cell phones and waved umbrellas to help in locat­ ing friends in the crowd. Blankets and sling chairs dotted the grounds every few feet, and some were content to set up camp and stay there all day, while others, like myself, were armed with backpacks and made it their mission to see as many bands a s possible. The rain started to fall about halfway through the set by Dallas’ Old 9 7 ’s, who, in spite of the rain, played an hourlong set of favorites spanning their albums, including “Designs on You,” “Busted Afternoon” and "Barrier Reef.” Lead singer Rhett Milier dedi­ cated the proposal theme song “Question” to a couple who had insisted on buying them break­ fast that morning and encour­ aged anyone in the audience who came to the festival intending to propose to “get out the ring.” This short, soulful tune, the first in the Old 97’s encore set, is a song they rarely perform live and was a special treat for fans. Festival attendees who only know the Old 97’s from their radio hit "Nineteen” might have been dis­ appointed by its omission. The rain refused to give in, and it poured steadily as Patty Griffin took the stage. Cloudy weather suits her style, though. The last time I saw Patty Griffin perform was in front of thou­ sands when she opened for the Dixie Chicks on their "Fly” tour in Dallas, and it’s obvious that a smaller venue brings out her charm. She dedicated “ Rain” to See ACL, page 14 Page 15 T h e D a il y T e x a n * Monday, Septem ber 22, 2 0 0 3 THE LIMIT IS ALMOST THER' Read tomorrow’s Daily Texan for coverage of Sunday’s closing day of the Austin Ct v Limits Festival. Also, we’ll have our usual coverage of the best and worst albums released this week. By Katie Spence Daily Texan Staff L u g g in g th eir c o llap sib le chairs and soft-sided coolers, music fans trekked into Zilker Park on F rid a y to kick off the diverse musical buffet of Austin City Limits Music Festival. The threat of rain that was pres­ ent earlier that morning dissipated and left patrons with sunny skies and an occasional cool breeze. Festival audiences were given a bevy of acts to choose from Friday. Just like last year, there were six stages from which to choose. One of the first performances of fro m C o d y the d a y w a s ChesnuTT. In between his songs which were filled with graphic lyrics about women and sex, ChesnuTT waxed on-spirituality and the grace of God. "M y music is a contradiction, just like life is a contradiction," C hesnuTT said after his p er­ formance. "M y album is about my lower self trying to find my higher self." ChesnuTT impressed people with his heart-felt performance. " H e w a s f a n t a s t ic ," said M aisha Akbar, a perform ance studies graduate student. "H is perform ance was s p iritu a lly based, not commercial. It was genuine and not tainted by any­ thing that's going on right now." Ju lie ta Sin g e r- so n g w rite r Venegas gave a good show with her pop/rock music infused with traditional Mexican instrumenta­ tion. She occupied one of the smaller stages in the festival but soon had a large crowd as her audience. "I guess we're doing a bilin­ gual show today," exclaimed Venegas from behind her accor­ dion as she launched into her award-winning hit "Como Se." Liz Phair took stage wearing a cowboy hat (to fit in with the Texas crowd). She mixed some new hits with the old favorites to appease both her older audience and those in the crowd who only knew her from her recent radio hit "Extraordinary." " I really enjoyed it," said Sarah Jett, an English graduate student. "She seemed really relaxed. I wasn't a fan of hers before I saw her perform, but I am now." A m i d d r u n k f a n s , T h e Mavericks took stage and soon had people in the audience either bobbing their head or up on their feet dancing to their catchy neo­ traditionalist country music. Backing them up was a brass sec­ tion that added a little Cuban flavor, bringing a sound that was their most featured on recent, self-titled album. Local singer-songwriter Robert Earl Keen proved to be a crowd favorite. For his final song he played his seven-minute hit "The Road Goes on Forever." The crow'd rose to their feet and sang almost every word with Keen. Across the park, adult contem­ porary favorite Steve Win wood played mostly his new stuff with the backing of a mandolin and organ. But a few songs into his set, he broke into his 1986 hit, "Back in the High Life." As the sun set, fans got ready to enjoy the headliners of the night, Al Green and Dwight Yoakum. Green was late to start his set, and the first few songs he played had his audience assum­ ing he would never get to his older hits. Some of the crowd started to disperse, heading to w a rd s e ith e r the exit or Yoakum's stage on the other end of the park. “ Stav with me guys, we're just getting warmed-up," said Green, HALF PRICE A uto , AC, T ransm ission & B o d y R e p a ir Offered by T o k yo A u tos on all vehicles B ring us a written estimate from n a tio n a l autom otive d e a le r or re p air center, a n d w e ' II co m p le te the sa m e repairs fo r 5 0 % le s s (labor a n d pari included, sam e warranties offeredj Please cull B o b A h m e d : A S E & IM A C A certified (Autom obile Engineer London) J ohn W h ite : A S E & TSTA J J . t S J Tokyo Autos 6312 Hwy 183 S.

Meanwhile, Yoakum was some­ how able to turn most of his female audience into blathering teenagers, despite the fact the he is both bald­ ing and sporting a mullet. The mystery created by his cowboy hat and his gyrating lower body prob­ ably had something to do with it. He paid tribute to the late Johnny Cash by playing "Ring of Fire" and also performed his cover of the Cheap Trick hit, "I Want You to Want Me." At the end of the night, the masses headed to the long line for the busses or the long line of peo­ ple waiting for cabs, their ears still ringing with the sounds of the day.
