Cheney warned nations that sheltered known terror­ ist Osama bin Laden face “the full wrath of the United States.” Associated Press Debate follows day of prayer, remembrance Memorial puts celebration on hold By Rachel Stone Daily Texan Staff At 12:05 p.m. Friday, the Tower bells started ringing. For 10 minutes, they resonated like sober w ords calling out the beginning of a sorrowful new era, or the end of some­ thing that should never be forgotten. The UT com m unity w ould have cele­ brated its 118th birthday Friday, but . instead, it m ourned. Instead of the state of the University address — a speech centered around the University's achievements and hopes for the future — UT President Larry Faulkner gave a eulogy of sorts. A lone bagpiper played "A m azing Grace," and thousands of m ourners on the M ain Mall struggled w ith tears and sweat. Faulkner, G overnm ent S tudent P resident M att H am m ond and N eal Armstrong, Zarrow Centennial Professor in engineering, spoke to the crowd that spanned from the steps of the M ain Building to the Littlefield fountain. "The terror of Tuesday w as and remains a challenge to core values of civi­ lized humanity: respect for the rule of law, respect for individuals, rational stew ard­ ship of hum an possibility," Faulkner said. "The authors of violence wrote their ow n law and threw aw ay the lives of thou­ sands w ithout asking even w ho they were and sought only senseless destruc­ tion." The United States m ust em ploy ration­ ale in responding to the violence, he added. "As we are challenged, w e m ust surely respond, w ith the greatest of skill, imagi­ nation, intelligence and effect," he said. "We m ust not let the forces of violence pre­ vail over civilized society, but we m ust also not allow our ow n passion to under­ mine our civilizing foundation." H am m ond offered an adaptation of John D onne's "M editation 17." "N o hum an is an island entirely of itself. Every individual is a piece of the continent, a part of the main," H am m ond said. "Any hum an death' dim inishes me because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never assum e to know for w hom the bell tolls, it tolls for u s all." Daebreon Porter, a fine arts junior, led the crowd in "The Star-Spangled Banner," and Ken Liechti, E.P. Schoch professor in engineering, played both "A m azing Grace" and "The Eyes of Texas" on the bagpipes. After the ceremony, a group of students joined hands beneath the American flag in the South Mall, singing "Give Peace a Chance," later m igrating to the west steps of the M ain Building. Addressing a small crow d through a bullhorn, the students and other dem on­ strators protested anv military action the Urn ted States could take in the next few weeks. Blatant racism tow ard those oí Indian or M iddle-Eastern descent has cropped up in Austin since Tuesday, said A m y Khoshbin, a journalism junior. "I'm against the anti-brow n sentiment that's happening right now. The thing people need to rem em ber is not to place blam e and not to stereotype," she said. "It's easy to stereotype because people w ant an enemy, and they w ant someone to pay for the atrocities that happened, but they need to be careful of making blind statements and uneducated comments." In his speech, Faulkner em phasized cam araderie am ong all Americans, and the dignity of a civilized response. "Let us respond to this tragedy by renewing our resolve to respect the m le of law and to respect individuals, especially ou r neighbors in our ow n community," he said. "Vengeance is less im portant than learning how to m ake the w orld a safer and more avalized place, and less im por­ tant than retaining our ow n best character as w e respond in this time.

During his 35-year tenure in Congress, Hamilton served as a member and chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives intelli­ gence committee. From 1974 to 1982 Inman, former N avy Admiral, held several a high-ranking positions in the field of intelli­ gence, including director of the National Security A gency and deputy director of Central Intelligence. "The w hole approach that we've taken to building defense against different kinds of targets — political, military disputes, poten­ tial overuse of military force across interna­ tional boundaries — that's what ... the U.S. intelligence community has been designed to deal with," said Inman, the Lyndon B. Johnson Centennial Chair in National Policy. "They're not not designed to deal with ter­ rorists, particularly in the U.S." Inman identified the U.S. intelligence com­ munity's narrow focus regarding terrorist activities as a major factor in their failure to intercept the attack. "We were so focused on bombs that we did'not look at scenarios like planes being used as weapons," Inman said. He also cited communications as a majc comppnent of failed domestic security. "We have no capability to detect commt nications within the U.S., which may be relt vant to warning," Inman said. While the inability to intercept the attac was dearly a failure on the part of U.S. inte ligence, terrorist groups are often difficult t track, Hamilton said.

Chlng-Chung Wu/ Daily Texan Staff VOL. 102, NO. 10 Arounl theWorl Political tone changes in D.C. WASHINGTON — The tone of political debate and partisanship that normally charac­ terizes Capitol Hill is put aside for now as attention is shifted to supporting President Bush in what many lawmakers consider a war effort. “We're not talking about other issues. We’re talking about the gigantic challenge that’s in front of us.” said Dick Gephardt OMo. Ahead for Congress is a greater focus on the terrorist threat and solutions to the prob­ lem, political analysts say. ► See POLITICS, Page 3 Pakistan to deliver warning ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Senior Pakistani officials will go to neighboring Afghanistan on Monday to deliver a warning: Either deliver terror suspect Osama bin Laden or risk a massive retaliatory assault from the West, a top government official said. Pakistan’s decision to give “full support’ to the United States drew widespread protest Sunday from hardline Islamists. Demonstrators warned the government they would take up arms for Afghanistan’s rul­ ing Taliban militia. Recovery effort delayed PORT ISABEL — Safety concerns on Sunday delayed the work to recover victims missing since barges smashed out a section of a major bridge and sent cars plunging 85 feet into a shipping channel, killing at least four people. The impact of the barges hitting a piling knocked two adjacent 80-foot segments of the Queen Isabella Causeway into the Laguna Madre channel early Saturday. The bridge is the only link between the popular South Padre Island resorts on the Gulf of Mexico and the mainland. An unknown number of people were miss­ ing in the 50foot-deep channel, officials said. Mideast talks cause debate JERUSALEM — Israel and the Palestinians argued Sunday over condi­ tions needed to begin truce talks, while Israeli tanks entered the W est Bank city of Ramallah in a retaliatory raid, provoking a shootout that killed one Palestinian and one Israeli soldier. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said truce talks could begin only after two full days with no Palestinian attacks. But Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat rejected that demand, saying the violence was caused by Israel’s incursions into Palestinian territory. Bush ordered shootdown WASHINGTON — After the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush gave the military orders to intercept and shoot down any commercial air­ liners that refused instructions to turn away from Washington, Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday, Bush gave the order after two planes slammed into the two towers in New York and a third rammed the Pentagon. A fourth plane also was hijacked and appeared to be on a course for Washington.

People look at us like we aren't sympa­ thetic toward the deaths of the innocent people in New York and Washington, D C." Lindsay said. "We are, and we are mourn­ ing their loss. But we are also mourning the future loss of life if we go to war." Some of the passersby spontaneously took part in the demonstration. Sean Fairdosi, an undeclared liberal arts freshman, was walking by the West Mall when he decided to join in. "I believe that violent means bring about violent ends. That's something that Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. real­ ized," Fairdosi said. "Peace is the only way to go, otherwise, innocent people die." Later Friday, more than 250 people staged another peace rally on the main steps of the Capitol. While members in the rally condemned the terrorist attacks, they said they wanted to dispel that all the assumption Americans support military action. "We wanted to show the city of Austin that there's another voice besides the one we're hearing from the mainstream media, and that is peace," said Tracey Hayes, a participant in Friday's rally. The group, consisting of members of various the ideologies ranging International Socialist Organization to the Libertarian Party united to speak out against a declaration of war to advocate a from diplomatic resolution and to address the need to defend civil liberties. Demonstrators lined the sidewalk in front of the Capitol, waving flags with peace symbols and holding signs reading "An Eve For An Eye Leaves The World Blind."' Will Cowan, a biology senior, said he disagrees with people's assumptions that the movement is unsympathetic to the vic­ tims of the tragedy. "I don't disagree with justice, I'm just worried that Bush and the country in gen­ eral will overreact," Cowan said. Aside from a call for a non-violent reso­ lution, some speakers gave their reasons as to why the attack may have happened. Eric Nelson, a member of the Gift Society Project, stressed the importance of accountability. "We hold the terrorists accountable, as well as the U.S. government for its poli­ cies," Nelson said, citing that the United States' support of sanctions on Iraq have resulted in the deaths of thousands of Iraqi children. A few people who disagreed with the message behind the peace rally stood to the side of the larger group. Matt Kazdoy, a concerned Austinite, said he will support the U.S. government and its response to Tuesday's attack. "I'm down with peace, but we can't just sit around the Capitol," he said. "I'm will­ ing to fight and die for other people to be free and peaceful." Hamilton said. "They are small, close-knit groups that hate the U.S., hate Americans; they are the toughest of all intelli­ gence targets." The intelligence community will "hav^ to upgrade human intelligence," Hamilton said. Many intelligence agencies have invested heavily in technology, but there has not been as large an investment in the development of human intelligence. Increased funds from Congress, the revision of defense pri­ orities and greater investment in infrastructure protection are some of the changes that Hamilton predicts for U.S. intelli­ gence. Decreased privacy may be the tradeoff for increased domes­ tic safety, Inman said. "If you could save some lives, some surrendering [of priva­ cy] becomes worthwhile, but if it won't, then it's not worth doing," Inman said. Such measures could mean limiting media knowledge of defense policies, increasing intelligence authority and limiting personal liberties. One of the most difficult tasks of implementing new defense strategies will be maintaining public confidence in these new measures over an extended period of time, Inman said. Above all, intelligence will have to decide which policies ultimately will create maximum security in the U.S., he said. "We have to rethink," he said. "Now that it is no longer speculation ... now that we have in fact encountered the act of war, we have to define — just as we did after Pearl Harbor. We had to define what kind of intelligence we needed and how we got it." TO M O RRO W ’S FORECAST Low High 93 Three weeks of homework that are going to be done in 5 hours in one night ... fun. There goes sleeping. BUSH, from 1 certain retaliation. On Sunday morning, Bush wor­ shiped at the Camp David chapel, joining millions of Americans who went to church seeking comfort in prayer five days after the devastat­ ing attacks. 'America the Beautiful" rang out from church organs across the coun­ try, and small American flags were held with prayer books. By Sunday, 180 were confirmed dead at the World Trade Center ruins; the number of missing was 5,097. In the Pentagon attack, 188 were believed dead. Authorities have thus far arrested two men in connection with the ter­ rorist acts, and detained 25 people in the investigation for possible immi­ gration violations. More of the roof of the fire-dam­ aged Pentagon collapsed early Sunday morning, creating a small landslide of debris as workers tried to push farther into the building. In New York, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said reports of tapping from the wreckage of the World Trade Towers were unfounded and that no signs of life had been detected. M eanw hile, the U nited States turned to Pakistan as a potential ally in hunting down bin Laden. Pakistan sent senior officials to Afghanistan to warn the Taliban that it faces a massive assault if it does not hand over the fugitive to the United States, a top Pakistani official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Bin Laden has been indicted in the 1998 bombing of two U.S. Embassies in east Africa and linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Bush spoke by phone to Pakistani President Gen. Pervez M usharraf on Saturday. "The leader of Pakistan has been very cooperative," Bush said Sunday. He also spoke with Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Sunday, aides said. Attorney General John Ashcroft, m eanw hile, said he w ould ask Congress for new authority to make it easier to track down and prose­ cute terrorists, including expanded wire tap authority. "We need addi­ tional tools to stop the kind of tragedy that happened," Ashcroft said. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta announced a task force of experts to report back by Oct. 1 on ways to increase airport and air­ plane security, particularly the secu­ rity of cockpits. He also said all oil and natural gas pipeline operators had been directed "to take steps to im plem ent security m easures." The nation began a return to nor­ malcy. Professional baseball games were to resume Monday and the stock markets were to reopen. "N o question about it, this inci­ dent affected our economy, but the markets open tomorrow; people go back to work. And we'll show the w orld," Bush said. Cheney made it clear that the United States considered bin Laden the main suspect. "W h at we are going to do is aggressively go after Mr. bin Laden, obviously, and all of his associates, and even if it takes a long time, I'm convinced eventually w e'll prevail," Cheney said. "I have no doubt that he and his organization played a significant role in this." D efense Secretary D onald H. Rumsfeld said bin Laden is only part of the problem, and that the cam paign of terror is "m uch bigger than one person." "It's a matter of his netw ork," Rumsfeld said on Fox News Sunday. "If he w ere not there, there'd be 15 or 20 or 30 other people who would step in. ... Obviously, he's a prime suspect, but we have to be realistic." Pow ell said on C BS's Face the Nation that the United States is con­ sidering seeking Iran's support. He said it w as worth exploring oppor­ tunities to wean Iran away from supporting terrorism. Also Sunday: •Rumsfeld said Reagan National Airport should remain closed indef­ initely because its flight path is so close to the White House, Capitol and Pentagon. "We have airports at Dulles. We have at Baltimore, which give a great deal more time for a fighter interceptor to do som ething," he said. airports •Joe Allbaugh, director of the Federal Emergency M anagem ent Agency, said it would take weeks to clean up the debris at the Pentagon and m onths to clean up the rubble of the World Trade Center. He estim at­ ed the New York debris at more than 600,000 tons. •H ouse Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, said he expected more covert military actions against terrorists than overt ones. "W e've got to kill them before they get out of their holes," he told CNN.

"It's almost embarrassing to be overly partisan at a time like this." for Congressional Disappearing from the agenda was the mainly symbolic Social Security battle that occupied politi­ cians all summer. Lawmakers quickly realized they would need to tap Social Security surpluses to pay for the attacks' aftermath and military efforts to come — as well as fund the 13 regular government spending bills for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. That removes the biggest obstacle to agreement on those spending bills. The main questions now are how much more money should be added for defense, intelligence and other programs, and whether Congress should act more quickly than expected and adjourn for the year. The capital's obsession with Rep. Gary Condit, D- Calif., and the disappearance of intern Chandra Levy also evaporated with the terrorist attacks. Committees are scheduling hearings on topics related to the attacks — airport security and intelli­ gence capabilities, for example. A House bill under consideration would aid the airline industry. To be sure, many other important domestic issues are unresolved. Bush is likely to continue pushing for his educa­ tion package. House Republicans are assembling an economic stimulus plan based around cuts in capital gains taxes and business tax relief. Some lawmakers hope to develop a Medicare prescription drug benefit, change the immigration program, enact trade legislation and pass a farm subsidy bill. A patient's bill of rights is awaiting House-Senate compromise, as is a measure over hauling bankruptcy laws. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said he plans to move legislation soon to extend a moratorium on Internet taxes that expires Oct. 21. Many in Congress want to carry on business as usual to the greatest degree pos­ sible, lest the terrorists be viewed as winning. The political tone is also much different in the close­ ly divided Senate. Democratic and Republican leaders and their aides are now communicating daily as the focus shifts to passing legislation rather than seeking partisan advantage. Swift Senate passage Friday of a $40 billion spending bill and a measure authorizing presidential use of force were examples.

Republicans, Democrats unite to confront terror By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The terrorist attacks have fun­ damentally altered the agenda and political tone on Capitol HUI. Put aside, for now, are the fierce partisan battles over campaign finance reform, use of the Social Security surplus and other issues. "I think we've got to do one thing at a time," said House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo. "We're not talking about other issues. We're talking about the gigantic challenge that's in front of us.' Republicans and Democrats are now discussing cooperation on the budget and a few high-profile domestic issues as attention shifts to supporting President Bush in what many lawmakers consider a war effort. For months, Rep. Christopher Shays has worked to pass legislation that would ban certain laigely unregu­ lated political donations. Asked what happens now, Shays, R-Conn., said: "Everything's changed. We can't even comprehend how it all sorts out." In coming months, Congress is less likely to use issues as political wedges aimed at the 2002 midterm elections, political analysts say. Ahead is more civili­ ty, less partisanship and a greater focus on the terror­ ist threat and solutions to the problem.

What would Jesus do in the face of Americans screaming for blood, though they still don't know whose? I think he would weep. Christine Hoff Kraemer UT alum John Geib Architecture senior Must eradicate terror Too late. I.think you woke him up. There will be hell to pay. And this sleeping dog is mad, you woke him up out of his blissful dream where he thought nothing could hurt him. And that's what we had. We thought no one could hurt us here. Well, you kicked America hard enough, and we're awake. And we're mad). Americans are fat and lazy most of the time, but we can be rather ingenious when it's important enough. There's a spirit that takes over Americans when it's invoked; it's called patriotism and that's what you've done. Instead of having the effect you want­ ed, you've brought us Americans together as a nation, a great nation. You guys seem to be incapable of under­ standing that we don't live in America, America lives in us! American Spirit is what it's called. And killing a few thousand of us, or a few million of us, won't change it. Most of the time, it's a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of Spirit. Until we're crossed in a cowardly manner, then it becomes an entirely different kind of Spirit. Wait until you see what we do with that Spirit, this time. So beware. Start sleeping with one eye open. Because we'll find you and then don't cry when that dog takes his bite. Sleep tight, if you can. We're coming. Mark Shanks Government junior Turn the other cheek Reaching out to Arabs I am quite disturbed how our country can simultaneously cry for revenge and war while taking a "National Day of Prayer" and "turning to God." Would God really approve that we "Bomb the Hell" out of Afghanistan, as Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga) would have us do? A war in Afghanistan will cost billions of dollars and many American and Afghan lives. It will leave the already war-tom Afghanistan in a further state of crisis. The survivors and their children will hate us and believe we truly are the demons that Osama bin Laden and Saddam Flussein have made us out to be. We may destroy Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, but terror­ ism will continue as long as we continue to do things which cause people to hate us. Saddam Hussein responded to Tuesday's events by saying "America reaps the thorns To those of Middle Eastern descent: Not being of Arabic descent, or even* Muslim, it's hard for me to understand w haj Y all must be going through right now here in the United States. I would, however, like to apologize to all of you on behalf of every­ body else here for the pre-pubescent actions of those people who took it upon themselves to attack the mosques in Dallas. We do not all feel like those 2-year-olds do. We're all Americans going through the same thing. We love y'all very much, and know that y'all are hurting just as we are. Mike Gresham Spanish senior Bad Tower tunes After my 12-1 p.m. class Wednesday, I heard the Tower bells playing the most horri- New York perspective As a graduate of UT just last May, it is sur­ real to be here in New York City. I have seen photos online of y'all's vigil on the South Mall, and the UT Tower has never looked so dark. I assure you, the Empire State Building looks the same way at night. It's like a war- zone here, with Mayor Guiliani only recent­ ly opening up my part of town, the Village, for traffic. Before, only barricades, military vehicles and demolition trucks marked the scenery. The word is we need blood, but I think even more than that: We need flags. You can't buy an American flag for the life of you here, and that is a symbol we can't get enough of. To see the second tower collapse with my own eyes a mere two miles away makes me cringe. I still can't get the thought out of my head. I suppose, for a Firing Line, I have noth­ ing to "fire." I know a number of you are concerned for the Muslim population, as we are here. With emotions and fears being what they are, rea­ son can sometimes not bravely step up to the plate. Yesterday, we had 90 bomb threats throughout the city by midday. Word of sus­ pects driving around in out-of-state vehicles, some being apprehended at the local air­ ports, simply make people suspicious all around. I hope those innocent can forgive us for our carnal desires for wrath, and I hope we can have the resolve to resist them. it has sown." This moment presents us with a unique opportunity as Americans to be the noble, Godly people we think ourselves to be and sow something other than thorns. If we are truly a righteous nation, then we should have faith in God's promises and justice. Proverbs 25 says "If your enemy is hun­ gry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will reward you." We must have faith that if we return evil with love, the hearts of those responsible for these heinous acts will be filled with conviction and shame. We should shower Afghanistan with billions in aid and support instead of billions in bullets and cruise missiles. It is only then that they will see for themselves that we are not evil. The time now is for forgiveness, not vengeance, even for our own sake- Matthew 6:14-15 says "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father for­ give your trespasses." It’s time for America to be the righteous and holy nation we know we are. We must be the first country in history to "turn the other cheek." It will shock the world even more than the events of Sept. 11. If we don't, this cycle of terror and bloodshed, of wasted lives and resources, will only continue. William Wuertz Studio art senior ble thing 1 think I could have ever imagined. It was as if someone was mocking the tragedy that the US is going through. Instead of "God Bless America" or another patriotic song to lift the spirits of the UT population, I heard a song that more resembled a death march! I've mostly heard it in movies where a prisoner is being marched off to the gallows. I was horrified! I would just like to express my discontent and outrage with the choice of song UT played to their 50,000 students! Strength of non-violence To my fellow Christians — I'd like to remind all of you that the man who said "Blessed are the peacemakers" and "turn the other cheek" would not be among those howling for vengeance at this terrible time. To support non-violent means of seeking justice is not a sign of weakness or cowardice. It is a sign of the great moral strength required to control fear and anger and act with effec­ tiveness and rationality. I believe that, once we have found out who committed this crime, we will have a great opportunity to show ourselves to be the most civilized nation in the world — by pursuing legal channels to bring the perpetrators to jus­ tice, not by blindly lashing out with our mili­ tary and thus potentially taking the lives of more innocents. Tiffani Taylor Nutrition sophomore Christian bigots We may destroy Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, but terrorism will continue as long as we continue to do things which cause people to hate us. If you thought we w eren’t listening before, you’re probably right. And I’ll tell you something:We’re still not listening to what you have to say. — William Wuertz — Mark Shanks Attacking the Taliban would only create martyrs, and aid in extremists’ solidification. Moreover, more violence on America’s part would reinforce our image of an imperialistic hegemony. — Cathryn M. Watson See Page 10 for more community response to Tuesday’s disaster Some of you people appall me. Wake up! This act of war cannot and should not go unanswered! Americans have this image of terrorists running around in the desert like a bunch of little children playing war. We seem to think that these people aren't as smart as us and don't have the resources to pull off a major attack against the United States. Open your eyes. These people are smart, and they are con­ tinuously growing stronger with each passing year. With their financial backing and access to different resources, who knows what weapon they might eventually come into possession of and use on the United States? For those of you who say we should respond with peace, you are fools. If all we do is dean up N.Y. and D.C., bury our dead and then go on with life, we'll be giving the ter­ rorists free reign to come after Americans again. These groups won't sit back and think "How moral of these Americans not to respond to our attack. We'll just leave them alone now." Unless we let them know that we will no longer tolerate attacks against the United States, that we will no longer tolerate the mas­ sacre of innocent Americans, they will come at us again and again. Their goal is to destroy us. Our goal should be to eradicate these ter­ rorist groups. Meredith Rice Business sophomore Debating "fundamentalism" It seem s perhaps Mr. A ddison, (Fundamentally Islam ic, Sept. 14), should supplem ent his readings of the Koran with some sociology and linguistics. Unless you are some sort of celebrity, you don't get to just decide w hat words mean to people. Different people will take words to m ean different things, depending on the context in which they are used, and the circum stances under which they are typically used. Now, stop all thought on your words for a second, and consider the issue at hand. You are whining about people not using your favorite word right, when a group of people who most Americans identify with that word just killed thousands of people! What is wrong with you? Sooner or later people like you are going to have to face the fact that the meaning of w ords is fluid, and depends on the audience and the times. In the struggle to convey thoughts and feelings we must all find new w ays to express ourselves. W h at's more, in timgs like these we m ust be conscious of the lim i­ tations of hum an understanding. Think a little harder about the fear, pain and suffering that was just delivered by other "fundamentalists" and perhaps you will choose another day to complain about the unpleasant feeling that the "misuse" of the word causes you. While you are at it why not define the words "respect" and "mourning" because our definitions obvi­ ously vary there too. Kyle Cross Electrical engineering senior I was appalled to hear Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson's comments that this tragic attack in is America's own Robertson's words, pagans, abortionists, fem­ inists, homosexuals and the ACLU are responsible. fault and that, Such "God has forsaken us" language is the worst kind of opportunism and seems eerily similar to the rhetoric of the fundamen­ talists responsible for the terrorism. Are the Rev. Falwell and Mr. Robertson so loathsome that they prefer America to enter a "holy war" than protect civil liberties? If any action is to be taken, it must be care­ fully considered. Responding to violence with violence only continues the vicious cycle of injustice. Perhaps the United States should be more concerned with taking a hard look at our favoritist foreign policy than on which country to bomb to the Stone Age. Joey Mellott English/philosophy senior Things overheard While wandering around the campus and listening to talk radio over the last 72 hours, I've heard the follow ing state­ ments: "We should nuke whoever is responsi­ ble for this" — which, after further expla­ turns out to be "the Middle nation, Easterners." "We should just bomb the shit out of the Palestinians once and for all and be done with it." "The Arab people just don't value life like us Christians. The only thing they understand is force. And we should give it to 'em !" "I think it was the M uslims." "We shoulda' taken out Saddam when we had the chance." "We should round up all the Arabs, just like the Japs in World War I" (not a typo). "We should occupy the Iraqi oilfields and cutoff the terrorists' money." "I won't get on a plane if there's a Muslim on board." Meanwhile, Bush's approval rating has soared to 86 percent — the highest since his father fought to secure Western oil interests — err, democracy — in Kuwait — and Congresspeople are lining up to sign a declaration of war against an as-yet- unknown enemy. Tragedy is about to be compounded by the disgrace of a racist tantrum. This is no way to honor the fallen. David B reshears Communication studies doctoral student War won't work Waging a war for a few extremists is futile and utterly wasteful. Killing other innocent people just because America was attacked doesn't make sense. If every country declared war as a result of dam­ age done by extremists, then the whole world would be in perpetual conflict. Besides, a mass killing of civilians in a foreign land for a small number of insane people in essence reduces America to the level of the terrorists. The civilians would probably feel that Americans have no right to make them suffer for what a few deranged people that just happened to be from their country did. A war is basically the act of making one nation feeling the wrath of another. Is it really sensible to shower an entire country with bombs, just because we are outraged at what a few terrorists did, and now lust for revenge? I think not. Instead of settling this with violence, the group that caused all this horror should be appropriately punished. We should also use up our energies to help the rescue effort, and to take steps in order to ensure that an attack like this never occurs again. War is a very real possibility right now, and it is something that a lot of people desire with all their hearts. Indeed, I over­ heard a security guard saying we should ."nuke 'em all." This cannot happen. If the Am erican government does decide to declare war, they obviously know about the quagmire of carnage and destruction that will inevitably result. Navneeta Pathak Biochemistry freshman A bone called freedom America is about the freedom to do what you want, live like you want, think like you want. And the most important — the free­ dom to pursue happiness. So was there a point to all this? Was there a message in this destruction? I missed it. That's another freedom we have. Freedom of opinion. You can have a point. But I don't have to agree with it. I don't even have to lis­ ten to it. Freedom of choice. Where'd you get the idea that everyone must agree with your position? We don't even understand that concept. In fact we pride ourselves on dis­ agreements in this country. If you thought we weren't listening before, you're probably right. And I'll tell you some­ thing: We're still not listening to what you have to say. Yes, it was easy to cause this mass destruc­ tion. Americans are fat, lazy and stupid. It comes from feeling the freedom and being at ease with our world. We're like content sleep­ ing dogs dreaming of that great big bone we call freedom. Go ahead laugh and celebrate. But remember if you kick a sleeping dog hard enough he will get up and bite off that foot. University The Da m T exan September 17, 2001 A DIFFICULT DECISION Stricter security could compromise civil liberties By Esther Wang Daily Texan Staff The promise of a crackdown on ter­ rorist activities has left some wonder­ ing if it will be at the expense of Americans' personal freedoms. In response to the attacks, govern­ ment officials are calling for easier access to information such as private e-mails and phone conversations. Ann del Llano, American Civil Liberties Union spokeswoman, said she finds increased government sur­ veillance in both public places and in citizens' private lives dangerous. "Many of these surveillance pro­ posals being made would not have prevented Tuesday's attacks," Llano said. "We need to be cautious and not let fear overtake all of our sensibili­ ties." Llano cited as an example a body- scanning machine that "electronically strip searches" a person that is cur­ rently being marketed to airports. Is this something we're willing to do in the name of security — subject your entire family to a strip search?" Llano asked. "And where else will it be used in America for security? Where are we willing to draw the line?" However, Gary Freeman, a UT government professor, said that while it's unlikely that such extreme meas­ ures will be taken, some changes will be necessary. For example, laws that currently hinder the efforts of law •enforcement agencies to gather infor­ mation need to be examined, he said. "If we're serious that we're going to wage a war against terrorism, then I suspect that these are going to be modified," he said. Yet the required adjustments need­ ed are unlikely to affect fundamental freedoms, he said. "I think the changes that will take place will be less infringement on civil liberties, but on convenience," Freeman said. "A lot of things people object to aren't really violations of rights — for example, being searched •before getting on an airplane." Still, Freeman said one civil rights issue that might be problematic involves Middle Eastern immigrants living in the U.S. who now might be tracked more closely. "I find this worrisome because the vast majority are law-abiding citizens who are here for legitimate purpos­ es," he said. The issue of how to protect citizens while at the same time maintaining their civil rights is a delicate one, Freeman said, and made more so by ingrained American beliefs. U.S. his­ tory has several instances where basic freedoms were violated in the name of national security. For example, the Espionage Act of 1917 during World War I made it illegal for anyone to speak out against the U.S. govern­ ment. "Americans resent all kinds of reg­ ulations on their personal lives — they feel that it's un-American, and there's a very strong bent of anti-law and anti-government feeling in this country," he said. "There's a price to be paid for a lack of regulation and order, though, and this present crisis brings it sharply into focus." II Khianna Bartholomew, Plan sophomore, said she believes that restricting American civil liberties would serve only the terrorists' goals. "You hear people say on the news, Americans are willing to give up x, y, z civil liberties to get Osama bin Laden, to be safer, but if we do that, then he's won, he's accomplished what he wanted," Bartholomew said. "Only because Americans right now are in this panic do they not see that."

A hand­ M att Archer/Daily Texan Staff Former senator once targeted by bin Laden By The University Wire GREELEY, Colo. — U niversity of Northern Colorado President Hank Brown knows what it m eans to be the target of terrorism. Brown served as chairm an of the M iddle East subcom m ittee during his time in Congress. As a senator, he ran afoul of terro rist leader Osama bin Laden, the man authori­ ties think may be behind Tuesday's terrorist attacks. "I spent a lot of time w orking on a peace settlem ent in A fghanistan wherf I was in the Senate," Brown said. "I don't think he liked that m uch." In the early 1990s, bin Laden put a $1 million price tag on Brow n's head. "It was pretty close to the amount of m oney that I'd have done it m yself," Brown said, laughing off the threat. "B ut it w asn't enough." Brown said he refused to live his life in fear. • "You can't live your life by these things, and I haven't let it bother m e," he said. Brown said he thinks the United States needs to take a harder line with terrorism. "The m issing link here on dealing with terrorism has never been intel­ ligence," he said. "T he m issing link has been our willingness to act on it." Brown said he thinks this lack of is the problem w ith bin action Laden. "W e failed to go after him ," he said. "To some extent, the fact that this happened is the product of our neglect to take it seriously." Brown has a prescription for the problem. "First, a clear policy is needed," he said. "M y hope is that they will make it clear that state-sponsored terrorism is not acceptable and that people who engage in it will be elim inated." Brown said he thinks the country leaders terrorist should attack directly. "I think it is essential that we have the ability to elim inate terror­ ist leaders," he said. Brown said he favors the current rules of engagement that prevent the United States from directly tar­ geting leaders of nation-states^ "I think the key to all of this is that we, as a country, have to deter­ mine that we are not going to allow this anym ore," he said.

City memorial service unites Austinites By Miguel Uscano Daily Texan Staff “Nothing is going to break us," the Rev. Sterling Lands said to hundreds who gathered Friday in Wooldridge Square for a memorial vigil to remember those affected by Tuesday's terrorist attack. Lands, pastor of Greater Calvary Baptist Church, joined Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, radio personalities and Austin residents in mourning for the loss of life and security caused by last week's tragedy. Lands said free people will not tolerate terror­ ists coming into their home and bothering them. Never again will tKe country allow this to hap­ pen, he said. "We are a strong nation," he said. “Our chil­ dren and grandchildren will look back on this dav as a defining day in history and say that once there lived a strong people who refused to be broken." . Too many people have died, he said, and the nation has come too far to allow this to break its people. Watson said he is proud to see how the dty has united and reacted with love and compas­ sion in this “awful week." He called on citizens to support all who are suffering across the coun­ try. "Let us not forget those in our own communi­ ty who have been touched by this national tragedy, and let us not forget that we are a com­ munity of diversity that celebrates everyone's unique contribution in making our dty one of tolerance and mutual respect," he said. As the mayor left the stage, David Sherman, a bagpipe musidan, stepped on to perform his rendition of "Amazing Grace." As he played, the crowd hummed along with him, beginning low and spreading until the park resonated with the sound of hundreds joined in song. Some smiled as others stared at the man with the bagpipes atop the white stage. Beads of sweat formed on the foreheads of onlookers, and those without sunglasses squint­ ed as the midday sun beat down on them. But the heat did not bother Gwen Crider, a museum director, enough to go home. What makes this country great is the support it shows in times of need, she said. She added that while the attack was shocking, it is something the country will get through. "I think in the days and weeks to come w e'll continue praying, and we'll have some moments of miracle, and we'll have a lot of sadness," Crider said. Karen Cappolino, a cancer information spe­ cialist, said things will be different across the country because freedom will be a little more controlled. She said it's important for people to share their grief with others so healing can begin. Getting groups of people with the same feelings and emotions together forms a kind of support that helps people get through tough times, she said. "I think people need something positive right now," Cappolino said. "It got to a point yester­ day where I just left the house. I just didn't want to see it anymore." Todd Durst, an insurance agent, also said peo­ ple should show their support for those who have suffered this week. "The one good thing that's come out of this is the fact that we've united as a country," Durst said, " If s great to see that. It's good to see that in a time of need we can stand up for one another and be there for each other." Janie Hamilton, a government employee, said she feels like she's lost something. She said the country lost its innocence on Tuesday along with its seeming invincibility. "I just feel like we've lost the country that we used to have," Hamilton said. "We're not as free as we used to be ... we have to be more aware of what's around us and not take things for grant­ ed." STAR-SPANGLED Reservists at Camp Mabry could be called By Amy Westerman Daily Texan Staff The Austin military community is preparing for mobilization after President George W. Bush author­ ized the activation of up to 50,000 military reservists Friday. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld asked for an initial 35,000 National Guardsmen and Reservists for "Operation Noble Eagle" — the name given to the military response to the terrorist acts. The Army will supply 10,000; the Air Force 13,000; the Navy 3,000; the Marines 7,500; and the Coast Guard 2,000. There are about 1.3 million National Guardsmen and Reservists in the military branches available for dutv. * The details of which units would be called on had not been decided as of Sunday and the number — if any — of National Guardsmen who would be called to service from Camp Mabry, a Texas National Guard base in Austin, remained unknown, said Luke Elliott, public affairs specialist for Camp Mabry. The base, which is ready to send out its troops, Elliott said, is the headquarters of Texas military forces. "As of right now, we don't have any missions, but we do have this [Emergency Operations Center] up and running," Elliott said. "We pulled together all key personnel in case of deployment." Guardsmen set up the center Tuesday after the attack to serve as a logistics mobilization center. Although National Guard units from Camp Mabry can be sent overseas, they will probably serve in a domestic capacity, Elliott said. The activated reserves will perform support opera­ tions, such as medical support, mortuary services, engineering and office facilities, as well as homeland defense. Military personnel noted a swell of volunteerism in the wake of Tuesday's attacks, as people sought ways to aid victims. A1 Schilf, spokesman for the Army Reserve, said many retired reservists had already called the office expressing a desire to help in relief and rescue efforts. "A lot of people have volunteered — a lot of people in a civilian capacity," Schilf said. "It's nice to see the patriotism surging." Capt. Robert Osvold, Austin Marine Corps Officer Selection officer, said although he hadn't noticed an increase in recruitment at his office, he knew recruit­ ment increased at other Marine Corps offices. He added that many people had contacted him seeking information on ways they could help, though not necessarily through enlistment. "I think it's human nature that people tend to come together when they're facing adversity," Osvold said. "Generally speaking, they're just reaching out and wanting to do something for the country." Perry extends probe of retail price gouging By Angela Macias Daily Texan Staff With price1 gouging in Texas continuing to be a problem, Gov. Rick Perry extended his disaster dec­ laration Friday, allowing the attorney general's office to continue investigating complaints. The declaration was signed last Tuesday, after the attorney general's office began receiving complaints from customers that gas retailers, hotels and car rental companies were charging inflated prices, said Gene Acuña, spokesman for the governors office. The statewide declaration was scheduled to expire on Friday, but has been extended through Oct. 14. "Any attempt to wrongly profit during this time of national tragedy is just wrong," Perry said. "All reports of unscrupulous business activities are being investigated and if found true will be fully pursued by the proper authorities." The attorney general's office received more than 1,800 complaints throughout the week, said Tom Kelley, spokesman for the attorney general's office. "Due to the disasters in the East you see a ripple effect in the economy," he said. "That put a strain and demand on transportation and lodging. Those pres­ sures led to some price gouging." Kelley said 95 percent of the complaints are from gas buyers, some whom are paying as much as $6 a gallon. In addition to phone complaints, the attorney general's consumer protection division is inspecting gas prices at stations throughout the state. rumors that oil tragedies, pipelines were blocked led to some gas stations inflating prices, Kelley said. After Tuesday's ExxonMobil released a statement dispelling such rumors. "We have supply available for retail customers and to meet contractual obligations. In stations operated by independent dealers or distributors, we have not raised prices to these dealers or distributors, and we are encouraging them to act responsibly as well, " the statement said. Kelley said complaints have been made from con­ sumers all over Texas, except in the El Paso region. The attorney general's office is encouraging con­ sumers to attempt to settle the discrepancy with the merchant first. If unsuccessful, the state will take legal action against the merchant and possibly issue fines up to $10,000, Kelley said. "We are not anticipating doing that," Kelley said. "Most of the time business will comply immediate- Jy" Complaints about suspected price gouging should be directed to the Office of the Attorney General at (800) 337-3928 or (800) 252-8011 or via the Internet at htt}i://wum\oag.state. tx. us.

Early te rm in a tio n a n d a ctiva tio n m in u te ta City tries to resume business WHERE U .S. MARKETS ENDED New York * Some worry return could mean trouble By The Associated Press NEW YORK — The air still thick with dust and tinged with bitter smoke, a dty still patching together phone lines and electndty battled to get back to business for Monday's reopening of Wall Street. The N ew York Stock Exchange and the Mercantile Exchange, as well as Gty Hall and other government build­ ings and courthouses, are to reopen today, even as much of lower Manhattan remains inaccessible. . "We think we're ready for it," Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said Sunday. "Some of it obviously ... is trial and error." Investors anxiously awaited the markets' reopening. • Five days after two hijacked commercial jetliners brought down the World Trade Center; parts of the island's southern tip are still without electridty or telephone service. Streets are crisscrossed with heavy utility cables and portable generators stand on sidewalks. The Wall Street subway station is dosed, and only subways on the east side of downtown Manhattan will run at all. Streets are dosed to vehides and some thoroughfares are blocked altogether. Even so, Giuliani has made reopening the area — home to the dty7 s finandal and government sectors — a priority. The New York Stock Exchange had a successful test Saturday of its computer and communications systems. The computerized Nasdaq Stock Market, which doesn't have a trading floor as the NYSE does on Wall Street, said it had also conduded a successful test of its systems. "The life of the dty goes on, and I encourage people to go about their lives," said Giuliani. "One of the best things they can do to show how strong they are, and to show how terror­ ists can't cower us, is to not be cowered." The NYSE was not physically damaged in the attack. But a telephone switching operation was knocked out, severing some of the communications systems used in trading. A num­ ber of investment firms suffered damage that forced them to relocate some of their operations and re-establish computer links. About $100 billion worth of trades are conducted every day in the United States, bringing the estimated losses from the shutdown to $400 billion, according to the Securities Industry Assodation. Investment firms suffered many millions of dol­ lars more in damage. UT By Patrick Badgley Daily Texan Staff A m erica's role in p u llin g a w orld econom y that, if it were a six-cylinder car, is only running on about four cylin­ ders w ill be put to the test in com ing days, a UT professor said. W illiam Black, an assistant professor in the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, said w ith the U.S. and w orld econom ies already struggling, a sudden, sharp reduction in consum er spending based on Tuesday's terrorist plane attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon could spur a lack of confidence in the United States and abroad. "The background is that A: It w as a vulnerable time," Black said. "And that B: the U.S. w as critical — the only folks pulling the engine." He said p eop le often slo w their sp end ing w hen the market falls and that avoid in g such a prcfblem depends largely on m essages governm ent lead­ ers are giving. H oping to keep confidence up, U.S. Associated Press A New York City police officer wears a mask while standing guard at the corner of Broad and Exchange streets in Manhattan Sunday while workers vacuum away ash and debris from in front of the New York Stock Exchange. The Stock Exchange building is covered with a large American flag. Business owners and residents are concerned that the tens of thousands of people returning to work could create chaos in a fragile situation. "I don't know how much this place can take," said Elizabeth Hart, who lives on John Street, three blocks from where the World Trade Center stood. "There's no power, it smells bad. The last thing we need is crowds going to work down here." Despite Giuliaru's optimism, some business owners say they may need days, even weeks, to prepare. "I don't think it's going to be possible. I don't know how they say they can open," said Marek Zieba, the superintend­ ent of an apartment building on Ann Street. "It's good for the people, but I don't think they can open." Dennis Goin, president of the Goin & Co. brokerage firm, is so concerned about potential chaos Monday morning that he plans to sleep inside his company's office, just down the street from the NYSE building. Coin's firm usually trades on the floor of the American Stock Exchange, which was left without electricity and will temporarily operate out of the New York exchange. Besides the problems with infrastructure, Goin said the return to work is likely to be emotionally searing as well — today and beyond. of attack Airlines take steps to avoid bankruptcy “That lack of panic and the wave of volunteers is the best sign that the U.S. isn’t losing confidence.” By The Associated Press Volunteers; work employees cited as positive steps leaders have come out to let people know ,that action w ill be taken and are pointing out the around-the-clock work governm ent em ployees, such $s fire­ fighters and police, are doing to clean up Manhattan and to search for those lost in the World Trade Center. "I think behavior of Americans — both public and private em ployees — that's the thing that has done m ost for confidence," Black said. "People are seeing that folks w ho work for the g o v ­ ernm ent are doing all they can to help and have even taken mass death to help others," Black said. Black also cited U.S. markets in N ew York rem aining closed until today as a "prudent" step and a sign that govern­ ment and trading officials w eren't w ill­ ing to cave in to the fear that four days w ithout trading w ould harm the mar­ kets. Robert Duvic, a senior lecturer in the Red McCombs School of Business, said the loss of the World Trade Center facil­ ities, workers in the building and paper and com puter docum ents is another w ay in which the econom y could be shaken up. He said it is too difficult to predict the kind of impact it could have. D uvic also said the m oves govern­ ment officials make are important in determ ining what happens. "When Bush's father was president and we were going into Iraq, there were som e problems in the markets," D uvic said. W ithout any large-scale com puter problems or financial disasters in for­ eign markets, U.S. stock markets proba­ long-term ailm ents, bly w ill avoid — William Black, LBJ professor Black said, refusing to guess w h e th e r prices w o u ld head upwrard or d o w n ­ ward. He a d d e d that a c o m p u te r system failure is so m e th in g A m ericans m ay panic about. Even with those concerns, Black said, con sum ers could try to avoid a sloping econom y by seeing that they are keep­ ing up purchases. "That lack of panic and the w ave of v olun teers is the b e s b sig n that the U.S. isn't losing confidence," Black said. On S aturday, N e w York Stock Exchange c o m p u te r system s were su c­ cessful w hen tested. Officials ponder airplane security measures "It's conceivable that the next generation of airplanes may be able to have some feature where in the event of a catastrophic incapaci­ tation of pilots ... maybe there's a way for the aircraft to lock up its cockpit and turn over to some kind of ground-based control," said James Coyne, president of the National Air Transportation Association in Alexandria, Va. Grant Evans, executive vice president of Identix Inc., said fingerprint readers made by his Los Gatos, Calif., company could confirm the identity of passengers and keep cockpits locked to all intruders. "One of the things you can avoid is plane hijacking, by knowing who's on the plane," Evans said. "The technology's been there. There just hasn't been the cause." Some believe the attacks will prompt the use of biometric systems that scan faces of pas­ sengers in a digital hunt for possible terrorists. Luggage scanners, like those being devel­ oped by Angore, can measure the chemical composition of a bag7s contents, sniffing out weapons and bombs. The U.S. Department of Energy is developing a holographic scanner that can image a passenger in three dimen­ sions to reveal any hidden weapons. The scanner uses wavelengths similar to radar or satellite signals, but not X-rays, to illuminate a person. The signals are then read by multiple detectors before being fed to a computer, which produces a 3-D image of the person's unclothed body. To address privacy concerns, researchers program the computer to see only objects. Others propose radically boosting the num­ ber of armed Federal Aviation Administration sky marshals — the current number is not publicly divulged but is believed relatively small — or adding armored cockpit doors. Airlines could ban carry-on luggage or force passengers to place it in overhead bins that lock. Computer-assisted passenger profil­ ing also could be stepped up. “By changing things now, you could potentially make things w orse.” — Richard Bloom, terrorism and intelligence specialist Airlines have profiled some passengers since 1998. The programs identify those most likely to present a security risk but has come under fire by civil liberties groups. Asked when advanced technology should be deployed, Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., said "yes­ terday." Mica is chairman of the House Aviation Subcommittee, which will meet this week to considered heightened security meas­ ures that include the use of sky marshals and a ban on carry-on luggage. Investigators, however, should determine what part of the system failed before com­ pletely overhauling airport security, said Richard Bloom, director of terrorism, intelli­ gence and secunty studies at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz. "By changing things now, you could poten­ tially make them worse," Bloom said. "Or you might change things in a way that indeed makes a system that looks better, but you'd correct a system that has nothing to do with what happened." Indeed, even the most high-tech measures may be powerless against a low-tech approach taken by suicidal terrorists. The hijackers in last week's destruction of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attack are believed to have been armed with little more than knives and box cutters, pilot training and a will to die. More stringent security measures already are in place at the nation's more than 400 air­ ports, including a ban on knives.

Airports across the nation, which were shut down for security reasons after Tuesday’s attacks, reopened on Thursday. Technology moves, sky marshals considered By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES— For a nation shattered by an airborne apocalypse, no idea for boosting safety in the skies may seem too expensive or too far-fetched. Computers that match the faces of airline passengers against databases of known terror­ ists? Fingerprint readers to secure cockpits? Planes that can be wrested from the control of hijackers and landed safely by pilots stationed on the ground? The disaster will spark a wholesale review of airline security, aviation experts say. Potential solutions could be as simple as satu­ rating flights with armed sky marshals — or as complex as technology that identifies pas­ sengers by the whorls of their fingerprints. "One of the small benefits from huge disas­ ters is a rethinking of where we are, and we must do that," said Tsahi Gozam, president and chief executive officer of Ancore Inc., a Santa Clara-based maker of advanced bomb- detection equipment. "We must leap for­ ward." Safety experts predict advanced technolo­ gies, some of which exist now only in concept, will play an increased role. NEW YORK — Airlines are cutting back service dramatically to avoid bankruptcy after the terrorist attacks, with three major carriers reducing their sched­ ules by 20 percent and one of them, Continental, lay­ ing off 12,000 employees. American and Northwest did not specify how many jobs would be affected by their reduction in service. The cutbacks at Continental, the nation's fifth- largest airline, represent one-fifth of its workforce of 56,000. "These actions are a direct result of the current and anticipated adverse effects on the demand for air trav­ el caused by this week's terrorist attacks on the United States and the operational and financial costs of dra­ matically increased security requirements," the Houston-based carrier said in a statement Saturday. Continental Chairman and Chief Executive Gordon Bethune would not say when, if ever, the employees might be called back to work. Bethune said that the airline has been losing $30 million a day since the attacks and that only 55 percent of its planes are back in the air — most of them half- empty. "We're taking immediate steps to preserve all the cash we had going into this debacle," he said. "We are doing this in survival mode." Even before the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were hit by hijacked airliners, analysts pre­ dicted the industry would see huge losses because of the downturn in the economy. But the figure has now ballooned to between $4 bil­ lion and $7 billion because of a drop in bookings caused by a fear of flying, the shutdown in air travel over the past few days, and the fewer flights and high­ er costs associated with heightened airport security measures. Without a huge bailout from the government, ana­ lysts say bankruptcy is imminent for even the largest airlines. "The airlines simply won't be able to do what they7re being asked to do without financial support," said Helane Becker, an analyst at Buckingham Research in Newr York. Congress on Saturday gave President Bush $40 bil­ lion to help rebuild from the terrorist attacks. It was unclear how much of that might be allocated for the airline industry. The Teamsters union is working with airlines offi­ cials to set up a meeting with Bush to pursue an emer­ gency appropriations package for the airlines. The nation's nine largest airlines have been losing between $100 million and $250 million daily since the nation's air space was shut down and then gradually reopened following Tuesday's disaster. . American, the nation's largest airline, was the first to announce scaled-back service on Friday. United and Delta respectively the second- and third-largest air­ lines, have not said whether they, too, will cut back. Northwest, the No. 4 airline, said it will complete a review by next week. Also Saturday, Boston's Logan Airport, where hijackers boarded the planes that destroyed the Trade Center, reopened to tightened security. Travel at other airports continued to creep back into service. Reagan National Airport at Washington remained tíre only major U.S. airport still closed to travel. Federal authorities said its proximity to the Pentagon and other federal buildings made it a security risk.

Although emotions are soaring — and rightfully so — we should not make hasty judgements or decisions. An abomination of such magnitude, unfortunately, does not have a simple, quick-fix solution. War would be a deplorable and “knee-jerk" reaction. Let's not feed into the cycle of bloodshed — haven't we had enough? This is a different type of enemy upon which traditional tactics won't work. Besides, whom exactly do we attack? The perpetrator remains uncertain. You accuse Stetson of being bin Laden's "tool." Ironically, you are the pnwitting instrument. Attacking the Taliban would only create martyrs, and aid in extremists' solidification. Moreover, more violence on America's part would reinforce our image of an imperialistic hegemony. 1 don't see how generating a "civi­ lized response," rather than myopical- ly and irrationally lashing out, equates to "anti-Americanism." To preserve our sacred democracy, it's imperative that our government examine all facets of this dynamic problem, and proceed accordingly, and not react in the heat of the moment. Lastly, I want to address Mr. Rholes' statement — "While Shaw may have been a mindless tool for mass murders like Stalin and Lenin, at least he was a good writer." Truly effective writers don't need to resort to ad hominem. In this crucial time, we should have con­ structive discourse American unity. to maintain Cathryn M. Watson Spanish/English senior Not a Texan fan I usually read the Texan editorials and laugh at the tripe you guys print, as do most people on this campus. But the last couple of days I've just been repulsed. I won't even try and explain how your ridiculous views are naive, bla­ tantly oversimplified and, in a word, urrong. I will say that if ever there w as an act of war committed against America, it was done Tuesday. Our leaders stand united and the rest of the world has ral­ lied around us as we prepare to w age a perhaps long and bloody struggle against terrorism. There is no pretty way to win a war, and no doubt innocent people will lose their lives in the fight. But we must maintain our resolve and defeat this evil, and we will. What we need now is courage, patriotism and unity, not unin­ telligent, divisive editorials and mis­ guided protests. As for people like Stephen Stetson, Ryan Young and whatever other cow­ ard wrote the editorial yesterday, I will take solace in the fact that people such as these will never be more than a pathetic fringe voice in our country. The unrivaled greatness of this land w as not built by people such as these, and they in no way encompass the spirit of the American people. If people like them ran things, this country would be a sad place indeed. Luckily, most Americans are intelli­ gent, courageous, and freedom loving. For that reason, I know that people such as Mr. Young or Mr. Stetson will never gain any measure of power, influence or respect in America, and I am very thankful. I know you will not print this, but I feel better having spoken my mind. Daniel Croll UT alum [Editor's note: No one named Ryan Young works on The Daily Texan Editorial Board.] Moving poem I just read Travis Larson's poem "I'm Alright Mama" in the Texan (Poetic response, Sept. 13) and it was absolutely beautiful. It made tears fall from my eyes which unfortunately in the past couple of days, wasn't a scarce thing to happen. It really hit a nerve considering I was supposed to attend New York University this fall instead of UT. I wanted to be in the mainstream and plus, NYC stole my heart long ago. But money and distance issues reluctantly sent me here, close to home. Now, just like in the Manhattan sky­ line where there's a gaping hole, a part of me is gone. My heart continues to ache with streaming sadness. But I'm truly thankful to God and to my family for pointing me in this direction. I am glad to be alive and well, and I am proud to be in Austin, Texas, attend­ ing UT. Remember to please keep all the victims and their loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. Elizabeth Hernandez Undeclared freshman Where'd he come from? Perhaps it would interest those who are so eager for revenge to know that Osama Bin Laden was trained and armed by the CIA in the 1980's. The US poured between $5 billion and $6 bil­ lion into Afghanistan to recruit, arm and train Islamic extremists to fight the Soviets, even though we were warned that we were "creating a monster." This means that the CIA effectively created the Taliban government, a terri­ bly repressive regime that is persecut­ ing its own citizens. The American peo­ ple, who show a profound lack of knowledge concerning U.S. foreign pol­ icy, should realize how the billions of dollars of our tax money devoted to secret intelligence operations is actually spent. The havoc we have wreaked overseas has come back to our own shores. There is a term for this in the intelligence community: blowback. This, of course, does not justify the terrorist attacks. Instead it implicates many in our own government and intelligence agencies in the crime. It angers me to no end that those in Washington who have pursued these policies are not being held accountable for their actions, which have helped to cause the deaths of innocent Americans. I think several former presidents, including Reagan, Bush and Clinton, as well as many defense and intelligence employees, should be brought to trial and charged with crimes against humanity for their part in supporting and building this terrorist network. And I think American citizens cannot lay claim to an informed opinion on the current situation without knowledge of the history of overseas intelligence operations in Afghanistan. We do have access to some of this information in this country, but we will have to turn the TV off for a few hours and do some research to get it. Brian Gentry Center for Nonlinear Dynamics UT physics department others. This includes not only our actions towards individuals here in our own country, but also other countries themselves as well as their civilians. I don't pretend to have any answers. I feel unsettled with confusion and dis­ belief. I am certain, however, of this: Violence, on any scale, will only perpet­ uate more violence. Marc Ellenbogen Law student Anger natural but wrong The most shocking thing to come in the wake of the horrific and unthink­ able events of Tuesday, is the eagerness of some Americans to condone more violence as an acceptable means of rec­ onciliation. If we have learned nothing from what has happened, it is the dis­ gusting and appalling reality of vio­ lence, and the total reprehensibility of those who attempt to use violence as a means of conveying a point. I certainly understand the feelings of anger, vengeance and hatred. I too am angry. I too feel an emotional desire for revenge. I want the individuals who are responsible for these murders to be held to fire strictest and most severe account­ ability. Should this justice, however, be an excuse for violating the safety and freedom of an entire nation? Should this justice be a source of compromise of our values of respect for life? I don't know. Two days ago, our country, and much of the Western world, was given a glimpse into a world where violence is a reality- We have learned a lot. We must therefore be thoughtful and careful in determining how to respond, and in considering how our actions will affect Free Vanessa Leggett Fifty-nine days and counting ..

Like a 9caled-down version of a Robert Altman ensemble, Trust traces the intersecting lives of Tour wom en and tw o men searching for love am ongst the dreary, m odern-day romantic landscape. But the play suggests that search­ ing for romance is futile; ifi s trust that ultimately counts. Both, however, are fleeting in the rock 'n' roll hell the characters inhabit. Much like music — not to mention the dynamic of real-life couples — the merit of the relation­ ships established within the play are up to subjective interpretation. Element proves the perfect venue for Trust. There's no better symbol for the contemporary dating scene than a club, giving the play a wink-wink, nudge-nudge, you-know -you've- been -in -th is-situ a tio n -b e fo re-to o kind of feel. Element is also a good forum for the use of loud music and strobe lighting to establish its rock scene. Trust stars Jo B eth. Henderson, K elly S ta n le y , C o le W im p e e , Meredith O'Brien, Camille Chen and Michael Mason. The standouts are Mason — as a romantically repressed kleptomaniac — and Stanley, as a woman whose expectations of mari­ tal bliss are more fantasy than reality. Trust doesn't provide any easy answers; if s anti-idealist all the way — in other words, an appropriate depic­ tion of real-life romance. The play ends by symbolically suggesting the fall of Adam and Eve. If they couldn't even trust each other under the most perfect of conditions, the play asks, Where does that leave us? — Erin Steele the s p irit of combodia when? Sept. 18 at 8 p.m. where?

In fact, anyone who expects a Robert De Niro- or Kevin Spacey-like performance from Bill S. Preston Esq. should probably look elsewhere. But from time to time, Reeves has the ability to pick a good movie — and Hardball is a good movie. HARDBALL starring Keanu Reeves, Diane Lane directed by Brian Robbins ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ Starting off slow, the movie centers around Reeves' Conor O'Neill, a self- loathing gambler. Behind on bets and down on his luck, he takes a job for $500 a week to coach a Little League team. As the story moves from the streets of Chicago to the city's sandlots, the movie begins to pick up speed. In the backyards of the Cabrini Green projects, Conor is introduced to the Kekambas, a Little League team of Chicago youngsters. Soon after their introduction, these kids become the heart and soul of the movie. Their enthusiasm becomes the driving force of the film and the spark that turns Conor's life around. And the faces — and record — of the Kekambas takes its own turn. The dysfunctional play of this squad of 9-year-olds improves greatly as Conor begins to coach them. But as funny and entertaining as the play on the field, or as interesting as the film's love story seems, the beauty of the film comes in the contrast between the play on the field and the life of the kids at home. Through this contrast of life on and off the field, the moments the team shares truly become more important and touching. Even more touching is that the film is actually taken from the real-life story about Conor O'Neill and the team of kids he met in Chicago in the early 90's. The jokes and inspiring moments never feel completely forced or campy. And the kids' performances are so ood that it is possible to understand ow someone's life could actually be turned around while coaching a Little League team. Overall, Hardball does a great job of showing the lives of these kids and the beauty of baseball. It does a great job of showing the good moments that come when playing with a team, and it makes you remember how playing a simple game can pull you away from some of the bad things in life. If you think that sounds corny, maybe Hardball is not the right movie to see. But as simple as this movie sounds, it is still good. Hardball is not The Natural or Eight Men Out, but it's heartwarming and full of touching scenes. It is not a per­ fect movie. It does not break any remarkable ground in cinema history. Yes, Keanu Reeves is still Keanu Reeves. But if you can push aside the negativity swimming through your head, Hardball might be something worth seeing. The Glass House’ cliches are a crack-up By Stephen Salto R u Q i o n K n n C a B n Daily Texan Staff There are some films that one watches and wonders how in the world such a talented cast ever got involved in such a wretched piece of drivel. And then there are those few films that leave a majority of the audience appalled by cast quality and the utter inaneness of the picture, while a scattered few spew Coca- Cola from their noses and hang on to sim ply because it's every w ord gripping. THE G LA SS HO USE sta rrin g Leelee Sobieski, Diane Lane directed by Daniel Sackheim * ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ Think of Barbarella if the troll char­ acter had been played by Laurence Olivier, or w hat Melrose Place . t i / i / those few m oviegoers i > i could've been like if only Meryl Streep played the same role as Josie Bissett. An addiction takes place, and that for become hooked on bad dialogue that is pulled off with award-worthy per­ formances, it's harder to kick than any narcotic. Fortunately, Columbia Pictures has released a fix in the form of The Glass House, a linguistically m undane thriller that benefits in shlock value from a tremendous cast. the rare actress who has appeared in both Merchant Ivory and Stanley Kubrick productions, The Glass House is the studio psychological thriller she has long avoided. However, in addition to her upcoming role in Joy Ride, The Glass House proves she's more than capable of taking on the role. The problem is, when all is said and done, For Leelee Sobieski, she's only reading lines from the same deluded script as the rest of the cast. And in a psychological thriller, that sort of thing is frowned upon. Sobieski plays Ruby, the daughter of a wealthy public radio producer, who, along with his wife, is tragically killed in a car accident. Ruby and her brother are subsequently moved in with the Glasses, friends of the family who live in a glass house and upholster their house accordingly. Soon, Ruby begins to suspect that the Class's intentions are less than honor­ able and even begins to question their involvement in her parents' death. It would be a cliché to even suggest what befalls the Glasses, with the glass house and all, but with a script so chockful of them, their downfall shouldn't come as m uch of a sur­ prise. However, more of a shock are -M » the players involved, who ranee from Stellan Skarsgard, of Good Will Hunting fame, as Mr. Glass, to Kathy Baker (Picket Fences) and Bruce Dem. Adding to the fun mix is Diane Lane as the drug-addled Mrs. Glass, who uses prescription drugs to sedate Ruby into corpas and to get herself high. Still, the cast performs with complete conviction and the result plays like a sleazy David Mamet film high on f-words and low on logic. Sadly, The Glass House will fall into the same gaping hole in cinematic history as the 1996 Gwyneth Paltrow- Jessica Lange bitchiest Hush or this year's Monkeybone w ith Brendan Fraser. Like the car accident that's horrible to watch but at the same time enthralling, The Glass House only does justice to the rule rather than defying it.

"A t this point I'm not really nervous about my employability, but I am anxious to get working because no matter how laid back you are about getting a job, when you send out applications, it's not a good feeling back," Schoenewolf said. "I'm no longer really a dreamer. Having sent out maybe a dozen applications to state agencies and not being hired — I'm starting to think there's not a perfect job for me." called not be to Schoenew olf is not alone. Vagdevi Meunier, staff psychologist and outreach coordinator at the UT Counseling and M ental H ealth Center, said career is among the biggest causes of stress for col­ and students lege recent graduates. the Brittney Mitchell, a sociology sophomore, can relate. M itchell summer spent looking for a job so she could pay part of her tuition. Hoping to find something related to her major, she applied to several places, only to find that she needed more experience. T m no longer really a dreamer. Having sent out maybe a dozen applications to state agencies and not being hired — I’m starting to think there’s not a per­ fect job for me.” — Aaron Schoonowotf, UT graduate "It's such a double standard," M itchell said. "I want to go into sociology, so I wanted to get a job that relates to it. But that didn't work because they hired a person who had been doing it for six years. How am I going to get experience if I can't'get a job that would give me that experience?" A fall 2000 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers found that most companies planned to continue hiring college graduates at a brisk pace. However, a survey conducted last month found that, due to a recent slowing of the economy, about 50 percent of the companies surveyed have lowered these projections. Despite this figure, an online survey by Jobtrak.com found that 30 percent of stu­ dents expect to have four or more job offers by the time they graduate. Saurabh Singhvi, who graduated in May with a degree in computer science, would like to offer these students a word of caution. "The situation is extrem ely pathetic right now," Singhvi said. "I've been applying for hundreds of jobs every day for the past month or so and there are close to no replies from any of the employ­ ers. It's frustrating when you have some­ thing really good going for you and then all of the sudden it's all gone and you have to start from scratch." The stress Singhvi and other students face can take a serious toll on their health. According to my.webmd.com, an accumula­ tion of persistent stressful situations can r e s u lt, in negative physical effects. Included in these are depression, heart disease, weight problems, sleep distur­ bances and memory loss. Adding to Schoenew olf's difficulty is the fact that he's trying to stay in Austin to work. "I feel like if I'm going to stay in Texas at all, I'm going to stay in A ustin," Schoenewolf said. "If I were willing to take a job in Houston or Dallas, I probably would have a job right now. It's a problem a lot of UT grads face. They want to stay in Austin." Not only do students have to fight for jobs locally, but they also can begin won­ dering if all the work they put into getting a degree has paid off. Carrie Mohle, 21, is. married and has a daughter. Though she does not have a degree, she has frequently applied for jobs in Austin. She said the jobs she has applied to did not necessitate a degree. "It didn't seem like many people cared whether or not you had a degree," Mohle said. "In today's society, especially with the Internet explosion, it seems that a lot of people have college degrees and then go on to work some­ where outside the field they were edu­ The cated for. em ployers I was exposed to were defi­ nitely more interested in experience over education." Schoenew olf said that while he never questioned his deci­ sion to get a degree, he does wish his last years had been better spent. in retro­ "I spect, that I could have focused a little more on experience and less on education," Schoenewolf said. "B y “itself, education is rarely enough to qualify you." feel, Schoenewolf said there are several rea­ sons he is beginning to worry more the longer he goes without a job. First, he said, he is concerned that hav­ ing a big gap of time between when he graduated and when he found a job will have a negative effect on em ployers' thoughts of him. Additionally, he said, it is getting more difficult to utilize UT resources. "The longer you go after graduation, the further distance you have the resources of the University," Schoenewolf said. "By that I mean that Career Services only help graduates for about six months. The school's job fairs become less and less convenient to attend." from Schoenewolf urged college seniors to start the job search early to avoid the stress of looking after graduation. "During your senior year of college, I'd advise to go ahead and play the field," Schoenewolf said. "Send off a lot of appli­ cations before you graduate. You don't have to accept them, but it's a good idea to know what to expect when you graduate." Students should also ease their stress by the career centers on campus, using Schoenewolf said. "Make sure you take advantage of all resources on campus," Schoenewolf said. "D on't be afraid to get ahead of the game." Brad Watson, an American studies senior, helps UT students explore different majors and career options at the Career Exploration Center located in room A115 in Jester Center. Despite a large number of services available on campus, many students have trouble finding jobs that relate to their majors, both during college and after graduation. The recent slowing of the economy has added to these worries, as businesses begin searching for fewer employees. Persistent worrying about a person’s career can cause added stress and ultimately cause health problems. Counseling services are available for those who need some advice about handling their problems. Christina Tambakakis Daily V v : l St.tí! • T IP S FOR R E D U C IN G S T R E S S 1. Learn to plan. Disorganization can breed stress. Having too many proj­ ects going simultaneously often leads to confusion, forgetfulness, and the sense that incomplete proj­ ects are hanging over your head. When possible, take on projects one at a time and work on them until completed. 2. Recognize and accept limits. Most of us set unreasonable and perfec- tionistic goals for ourselves. We can never be perfect, so we often have a sense of failure or inadequacy no matter how well we perform. Set achievable goals for yourself. 3. Learn to play. You need occasion­ ally to escape from the pressures of life and have fun. Find pastimes which are absorbing and enjoyable to you no matter what your level of abil­ ity is. 4 . Be a positive person. Avoid criti­ cizing others. Learn to praise the things you like in others. Focus upon the good qualities those around you possess. Be sure to give yourself credit and appreciate your own good qualities, as well. 5. Learn to tolerate and forgive. Intolerance of others leads to frus­ tration and anger. An attempt to real­ ly understand the way other people feel can make you more accepting of them. Accept and forgive yourself also. 6. Avoid unnecessary competition. There are many competitive situa­ tions in life that we can’t avoid. Too much concern with winning in too many areas of life can create exces­ sive tension and anxiety, and make us unnecessarily aggressive. 7. Get regular physical exercise. Check with your physician before beginning any exercise program. You will be more likely to stay with an exercise program if you choose one that you really enjoy rather than one that feels like pure hard work and drudgery. 8. Learn a systematic, drug free method of relaxing. Meditation, yoga, or any of a variety of relaxation tech ñiques can be learned from various accredited teachers and licensed • psychotherapists. 9. Talk out your troubles. Find a friend, member of the clergy, fat Hty member, counselor, or psycho-thera pist you can be open with. Expressing your "bottled up” tension to a sympathetic ear can be incredi­ bly helpful. 10. Change your thinking. How we * feel emotionally often depends on our outlook. Changing one’s beliefs is a difficult and painstaking process. There is little practical wis­ dom in the modern world to guide us through our lives. No one has all the answers. Page 2 September 17, 2001 C a r e e r G u id e 2001 College can pay off for grads Robby Slaughter, a mathe­ matics senior, disagrees with the idea that college degrees pay off in the long run. Though he believes a degree can increase opportunities for advancement and lends prestige, he feels it is not a prerequisite for success. Larger salaries more common among degree-holders By Chrissy Ragan Daily Texan Staff The time, m oney and brain pow er stu ­ dents use to earn a college degree really does pay off. According to the U.S. C ensus Bure'au, annual average earnings in 1999 were nearly double for people w ith a college degree than for those w ith only a high school education. Those w ho com pleted only high school had an average salary of $24,572 per year, while those w ith a bachelor's degree earned an average annual salary of $45,678. Jay W illiams, academ ic advisor in the College of Com m unication, said the findings make sense, and a college degree is especial­ ly im portant in today's tight job market. "It's like h aving extra training," Williams said. "The m ore experience, the more back­ ground, the more pluses, the better your chances are of getting a job." Holly Hunt, visitor and member services coordinator at the Texas M emorial M useum and a UT alum na, said she thinks earning a college degree is im perative. is im p o rtan t to be ed u cated and expand your hori/.ons," H unt said. "The are, the m ore you more educated you understand the w orld." "It H unt, who graduated from the University in 1999 with a major in history, said having a college degree opens up more doors and in m ore activities allow s participatio n "because you are aware of them." "Twenty years ago, you could get a good blue-collar job w ithout a college degree," Hunt said. "Now, you definitely need some sort of a degree to make a decent living." However, Robby Slaughter, a mathem atics senior w ho has one more sem ester left to graduate, said he does not think spending money on his college education will pay off. "For me, college is not an investm ent — it's just a gateway," Slaughter said. to Census According Slaughter w ants to teach high school, and state law requires that all high school teach­ ers have a college degree. the 2000 Supplem entary Survey, 25 percent of the nation's population age 25 and over has at least a bachelor's degree while 12 million have less than a ninth-grade education. •Slaughter said a college degree w ould be an investm ent for those w ishing to pursue busi­ ness or com m unication careers because it supplies skills, know ledge and "an am ount of prestige." But a degree does not necessarily mean everything, he said. "N ot everyone who has a college degree is more qualified than the people who don't," Slaughter said. "[A college degree] is a qual­ ification, but it’s not an indicator." Though Slaughter acknow ledges a college degree not only opens up doors for further training in specialized areas, it also increases a person's expected earnings. He said it is not representative of the real w orld. "Alm ost everyone in the w orld is living their life w ith o u t a college degree," Slaughter said. "[College] is expensive and tends to direct your w orldview away from the general."

But as the summer companies, neared, including Cisco, saw earnings drop and looked to cut expenses. In April, the Internet networking company's stock fell to $13.19 from its May 2000 price of $71.88, and officials warned they would cut 8,500 johs. high-tech In the mix of those that faced mis­ fortune due to Cisco's overall rough year was Jindal, who said she was offered the internship in November and was told in March or April that the offer had to be rescinded. Despite having cut off intemship- search efforts, Jindal came up with another job at Austin-based Caleb Technologies Corp., a company that provides real-time support for the airline industry. But feeling the worsening effects of an economic downturn, the com­ pany put another kink in Jindal's summer by telling her and its other interns toward the end of May that they couldn't afford to hold on to them. "I was shocked," Jindal said. they "After 20 days, couldn't keep us anymore." they said associate While Jindal resolved her problem by joining an accounting and mar­ firm and assisting MIS keting research Prabhudev Konana, she said the summer that at one point had her wondering how she would support herself taught her a few things about how to get a step up in a tight job market. "Definitely research the compa­ ny," she said. "You should be very aware of what you're getting in to." Jerry Bohovich, a researcher at the National Association of Colleges and Employers, said that in the last year several employers had to cut their job offers to college graduates and internships. He added that it is a dif­ ficult for them because it can burn the students and bridges with schools. "They really run the risk of ruin­ ing, their reputation on campus," Bohovich said. "As a result, they're being much more cautious." He said many companies, opti­ mistic while riding the strong econo­ my, raided campus recruiting events early and took on more graduates than they could financially handle. Camille Luckenbaugh, em ploy­ ment information manager at the association, said that while spring used to be the major recruiting time, many companies have turned to looking for potential employees in the fall. Because of that, companies will be more cautious in making def­ inite offers to students too early in the academic year to avoid having to make a change later. A survey conducted late July through mid-August by the the asso­ that employers ciation showed expect to hire 19.7 percent fewer new college graduates in 2001-2002 than they did in 2000-2001. While the sur­ vey of 439 employers showed that the average number of hirings will sink to 118 new college graduates from 147, Luckenbaugh said it is necessary to keep the numbers in context. The 2000-2001 hiring cycle, she said was a booming one that included signs of the thriving tech industry. The survey shows that hiring cuts are biggest among respondents who hired large numbers, 250 or more, of college graduates last year. The out­ look is worst among manufacturers and best among government and nonprofit organizations, according to the survey. Velma Amey, associate director for the Ford Career Center in the Red McCombs School of Business, said many companies are still coming to recruit, but are cutting down on hir­ ing, especially in the high-tech field. She added that businesses are com­ ing for students who would begin about a year from now more than those who would begin following winter graduation. Am ey said that when push came to shove, it was necessary for com­ panies to quickly do away with cer­ tain jobs, even though the "high-tech companies had good intentions of hiring." She said recruiting kept up, and students did well in obtaining jobs in the spring. To combat problems with finding a job, she said, keeping in touch with and remaining comfortable around recruiters and interviewers is neces­ sary. Making one's self recognizable by being persistent is also important, Amey said. Ken Ramberg, co-founder of MonsterTrak.com, a Web site on which employers post positions available for recent graduates/said a "healthy" demand for college grad­ uates remains. He said the the thousands of jobs being posted on the Web site is proof that there is plenty of opportunity for graduates. He added that no industry is fully saturated with employees, but students do have a more challenging task than those who landed jobs in the last couple of years. Leaving with that ease, Ramberg said, are the stock options that came with jobs for new employees. While he said,salaries are remaining rough­ ly the same, the lack of bonuses could.be the difference in this year's hirings and last year's. "College recruiting really reached a fevered pitch last spring, and com­ panies were offering some amazing benefits," Ramberg said. "But that cooled down." Still, another survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, found that salaries went up in many fields, leaving a lot of graduates to see 6 percent to 7 per­ cent increases. Along with that good news, Luckenbaugh ' said she doesn't believe too many companies will rid themselves of intern positions in Jjre midst of a slowing economy, since the jobs last a short time and aren't highly paid. In fact, she said some students may wait out the storm by taking internships following graduation to get a feel for several companies and because internships lead to jobs for some. said Luckenbaugh because employers can be a bit more choosy with whom they hire in a tight job market, internships, excellent verbal are and skills becoming increasingly im portant and can be the icing on the cake for recruits. comm unication "They're definitely the ones that top the list," Luckenbaugh said. "Integrity, honesty, strong work ethic are important, and they can all come through on the interview." Following her somewhat chaotic summer, Jindal remains sure of her ability to find another summer internship and to get a job following graduation. She said her strong grade point average, activity on campus and ability to deal well with interviewers will make her a strong candidate. the "Everyone course takes requirements," she said. "If you go out of your way to learn more skills, that's when you become most valu­ able." ... whatever you are looking for, you’ll find it in The Daily Texan Dining/Party Guide c o m in g in O c to b e r ! THE WEAKEST UNK On average, respondents expect to hire an average of MM new college grad­ uates In the Sept. 2001 - May 2002 cycle. That is down from the 147 new college hires they averaged over the Sept. 2000 - May 2001 period. Weakest in the West — employers there anticipate cutting college hiring by an average of 44.8% Cuts in Northeast of 18.5 % and Midwest of 17.6% are closer to the overall average decrease of 19.7% Least weak in the South — where employers are projecting just a 7.3% average cut for the year.

By Kristin Finan Daily Texan Staff Hundreds of students searching for jobs. Scores of employers hoping to oblige. It's a career expo, and everyone's invited. Career expos are typically organized by depart­ ments at the University and are intended to bring students in contact with employers who are hop­ ing to fill positions. Glen Payne, director of Liberal Arts Career Services, said expos have been common among departments on campus for a long time. "We've been doing expos for many, many years, Payne said. "We always do one in spring, and we've also moved to fall so we would be more in sequence with the usual recruiting rou­ tine." Payne said Liberal Arts Career Services has list of recruiters who attended the event annually and also make an effort to invite others with job opportunities. Payne said both the companies and the students that attend the expos fill out evalua­ tions after the events. These evaluations let LACS know how well the event went over and what improvements should be made. "The employers keep returning, so that's a good sign." Payne said. Payne also said that students can have different motivations for attending. Freshmen and sopho­ mores may attended to get a feel for what an expo is like or to search for careers they might eventu­ ally like to go into, whereas juniors and seniors often attend hoping to present resumes and find a job or internship placement. Despite the recent economic downturn, Payne said no adjustments have been made in planning for this year's expos. Though he speculated that the num ber of actual jobs available would be fewer than previous years, he said the fall expo LACS is holding at the end of September should be a success. "Even if they [employers] have one job offer, that's fine with me," Payne said.

Despite a slowing economy, many business are still looking for workers. A recent Census study shows that women are still earning less to the dollar than men. Tattoos, piercings a turnoff to employers By Roxanne Garza Daily Texan Staff First im pressions m ake a difference. And according to a recent survey, a nose ring or tattoo m ay affect that im pression. The survey, conducted by Vault.com, on an online m anage­ m ent site, found that body art could jeopardize an applican t's chance of finding em ploym ent. The site in terview ed 500 em p loy ers and em ployees about body art in the w ork place. O ver half of the m anagers that responded said they w ould be less likely to hire som eone with visible tattoos or body piercings. A bout 18 per­ cent of em ployees and one-fourth o f em ployers said tattoos m ay have hindered their chances at job positions. With such view s on tattoos and piercings, 66 percent of the em ployees said they had to conceal their tattoos or piercings w hile at work. Roxanne W heel is, an em ployee at River City Tattoos on 6th Street, said people d on 't seem too concerned about how their tattoos w ill affect their em p loy­ m ent situation. “Som e people are concerned, but others d o n 't care, she said. Sonn y Jay, an em ployee at A tom ic City Tattoo and Body Piercing on Burnet Road, said the w ay people decide to decorate their body m ay vary according to the type of jobs they have. "So m etim es people get sm all tattoos because of their jobs," he said. "B od y piercing does seem to be more accepted, though." Liz G alvan, m anager o f the Chick-Fil-A on Braker Lane, said that w hile her business does not refuse em ploym ent on the basis of w hether an applicant has body art, she does require they cover up visible tattoos and rem ove facial pierc­ ings w hile at work. "W e d on 't discrim inate against people w ho have tattoos, but we do not approve of them ," she said. Som e places, on the other hand, have no policy on body art. Kerbey Lane C afe is one such place, w here m anagem ent allow s em ployees to express them selves how ever they see fit. "W e d o n 't d iscrim inate against anything," said Laura Buck, m anager at K erbey Lane Cafe on G uadalup e Street. Jaclyn Cam panaro, a w aitress at the cafe, said she strongly supports the laid- back environm ent. "I think it's great," she said. "It m akes it a cool atm osphere. It keeps the em ployees happy w hich helps the restaurant." Christina Tambakakis/ Daily Texan Staff Median earnings still lower than what men are paid By Sarah Snyder Daily Texan Staff When Kathryn Lindauer was attending college in the 1970s, her idea of pursuing a law degree while being engaged seemed foreign to her family. Today, a corporate lawyer for Jenkens & Gilchrist of Austin, 51-year-old Lindauer is one of the many ranks of women who are entering fields historically dominated by men. Census Bureau data released last spring revealed that more women are entering executive and professional occupations. In addition, the report, Women in the United States: A Profile, found that almost as many women obtained high school and bachelor's degrees as men. "N ow it's much more acceptable for women to have careers," Lindauer said. She added that she surprised many people when she told them she wanted to pursue a career along with marriage. "I was really on the cusp of women going into professional life," Lindauer said. "It was a shock to almost every member of my family when I got engaged in law school and then I didn't drop out and just be a wife." Although 17.8 percent of the female work force are special­ ized professionals, 23.7 percent of women still hold traditional "female" occupations, such as administrative support and service work, the report stated. Additional figures released by the bureau reveal that the number of women and men who have received high school diplomas is equal. In addition, 23.1 percent of women held a bachelor's degree in 1999, compared to 8.2 percent in 1970. Renee Spraggins, stat­ istician of the Special Populations Branch of the Census Bureau, said the increase in educated women was the most interesting finding of the data collected because it w as so unex­ pected. "The education piece was very eye-opening," Spraggins said. "There is definitely growth there." However, while women are becoming more educated, the report states they still make significantly lower salaries than their male counterparts. In 1998, the median earnings of women who worked full time, year-round was 73 percent of what m ales made. Christine Williams, a sociology professor, said the numbers may be different because women are not seeking jobs as high paying as those men get, such as engi­ neering. "E ven with the same education, you are still talking about different professions," Williams said. Connie Cornell, a Jenkens & Gilchrist lawyer who often defends women in labor disputes, said many don't get paid the sam e rate because they have fewer years experience than men. "M ore women are entering the field, but they have less years of experience," Cornell said. "We're just entering the starting ranks and are not going to be in the higher brackets, even if the jobs are comparable." Cornell added that many w om en do not ask for raises and, therefore, do not receive them. "W om en tend to not ask for as much money," Cornell said. "If you don't ask for as much as your male counterpart, you will not be paid as much as your male counterpart." Why Siebel?
