The current system, known as Robin Hood, relies heavily on local property taxes. The lack of state funding, plaintiffs argue, has pushed the property taxes close to the state's $1.50 per $100 value cap. The suit calls for a better method of financing and distributing funds to schools. The current system of "recap­ ture," which takes money from property-rich districts to fund poorer districts, has improved the status of some schools, but there is still an increasing gap between the funding received by schools in property-rich and property-poor districts, said Hector Villagra, an attor­ ney representing the Edgewood Independent School District. Our children's future can no longer be compromised by our state's failure to meet standards," Villagra said. The state, Villagra said, has sponsored studies that have concluded that certain districts and certain groups of students, such as those who fall under the Limited English Proficiency cat­ egory, require significantly more funding than their peers. But Texas has failed to provide funds for those students, he said. A ssistant Attorney General Jeff Rose, representing the state, defended the current system and said decisions regarding policy should remain in the hands of the Legislature. Evaluating the effectiveness of the state's education policy is an issue "this court does not want to get into," Rose said. Texas schools that have w orked within the current finance system tremendouslv have improved since 1995, Rose said. Texas schools, teachers and students have risen to the occa­ sion," he said. The court m ust only determine whether the state met the "mini­ mal m andate of the state con­ stitution" regarding a fair and efficient school funding system, he added. The budgeting problems need to be solved at a local level, because school districts in Texas have very little pressure from the state regarding how they spend their money, Rose said. The state only provides goals to meet, he added. "We just believe that once these policy decisions are made, the state should provide fund­ ing to meet those policy goals," said attorney Philip Fraissinet, representing plaintiffs from the West Orange-Cove Consolidated Independent School District. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said the trial's opening statem ents are "not anything the court can rely on to make a deci­ sion," adding that he is confident that Texas has upheld its obliga­ tion to finance public schools.

I iealth centers may lace funding cuts API) reviews traffic program Operation Slimmer Heat publicizes enforcement locations By David Kassabian Daily Texan Staff Austin police are still evaluat­ ing the effectiveness of a sum m er traffic enforcement program that publicizes "traffic enforcement locations" targeted for certain violations a week ahead of time. The program is part of an ini­ tiative code-named "Operation Summer Heat" and is aimed at reducing traffic fatalities, educat­ ing the public and increasing vol­ untary compliance of traffic laws. "I agree that these program s are not enough," said APD traffic enforcement Sgt. Craig Cannon. "All the enforcement in the world w on't do it, if the citizens decide they are going to break the law\" The traffic enforcement location phase of Operation Summer Heat usually involves two officers stak­ ing out a predetermined area on motorcycle and specifically look­ ing for speeding, seat belt and DWI violations. Cannon said. Some of the areas targeted Monday were the 4700 block of Bolm Road, Metric Boulevard between Braker Lane and Rutland Drive, and the 13500 block of RR 620. Since the program 's start in late April, Cannon said the depart­ ment has taken a lot of criticism about its motives and alleged inef­ fectiveness. One common m is­ conception is that APD receives a large portion of funding from traffic stops, Cannon said.

"F or so many folks here, [health com m unity centers} are the first line o f defense, right where we are standing," Doggett said. "This clinic does a tremendous amount, but there is a big gap for so many o f our citizens." Doggett announced in July that the M ontopolis Center, which closed in 1999, would reopen after obtaining several state and federal grants. The community health center system also received a federal grant in June to expand its homeless services. According to the Travis County C om m u n ity H ealth C en ter System, 12 clinics serve an esti­ mated 40,000 to 45,000 patients, more than 80 percent of whom live under the federal poverty level. Services provided by the centers include dental care, free im m uni­ zations and X-ray services. Patricia Young, director for the City of Austin Community Care Services Department, said there are still challenges in providing such extensive service to a large num ber of people in the face of local budget belt-tightening. Mayor Will Wynn said com ­ m unity health centers provide for low er-priced health people who may have otherwise been forced to go to more expen­ sive emergency rooms and pri­ vate practices.

The trail will be closed dur­ ing the construction, he added. On the west side of Barton Springs pool, a new pedestrian bridge will close a gap in the loop system and help people go across Barton Creek. The Zilker Loop Trail will also allow trail traffic to go underneath the Barton Springs bridge, instead of having to cross busy Barton Springs Road, said Randy Scott, the department's planner. "It's a big safety issue," he added. People who pass near the construction site may encoun­ ter black netting on the ground to prevent dirt from going into the creek w'hen it rains. Some trees in the area will be pro­ tected by boards during the construction phase. "There will be some inconve­ nience during the construction, but in the end, it will allow us to see more of our city w ith­ out worrying about the traffic," said biker Frank Daebelliehn, who frequents Austin's trail system.

I am very proud of the incred­ ible leadership that the City of Austin has shown in building up its system of health clinics," Wynn said. The new ly created Travis Countv Hospital District will nnw oversee many clinics, as well as county hospitals. Tom Young, a member of the Travis County Hospital District Board of Directors, said the dis­ trict hopes to prevent any disrup­ tion in operations as it takes over for the city. "We are trying to get our feet lenges are ahead of us," Young said. "I don't see us having the wisdom nor the folly of thinking in the first year we are going to make a lot of changes." The hospital district was unan­ imously supported bv the city council and approved by voters in May, despite some public concern lead to an increase in taxes. Councilman Raul Alvarez said the week will be used to celebrate the clinics' accomplishments. We really have a number of great people throughout the sys­ tem," Alvarez said. "They have used very innovative approaches to expand their capacity to serve members for textbook panels TEXTBOOKS, FR0M1 to serve on one of the state's text­ book review panels, which look over textbooks for factual errors before they are made available to Texas schools, said Suzanne Marchman, a spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency. Recommendations are solicited from different groups, and the Texas education com m issioner selects at least three members to serve on a panel. "The intention is to have a well-rounded panel to repre­ sent the academic side as well as the person in the classroom," Marchman said. According to a private review conducted of 26 different text­ books by the Texas Public Policy Foundation, approximately 600 errors were found that were not caught by the original review- ing panels, said Chris Patterson, director of research at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Patterson testified that most of the errors went unnoticed by teachers reviewing the books but were caught by academics and experts. Teachers were found to be bet­ ter at rating books for student readability, Patterson said. “ The intention is to have a well-rounded panel to represent the academic side as well as the person in the c la s s ro o m /’ Suzanne Marchman, Texas Education Agency spokeswoman "A biologist may have a dif­ ferent perspective on relaying information than a teacher who works with the kids," Marchman said. to students Smoot cited public hearings in July about the adoption of con­ troversial health textbooks con­ taining only abstinence educa- tion as evidence that panel mem­ bers' personal biases can affect the textbook review process. "Because publishers want the review panels to rate their text­ books as conforming to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills guidelines and [being} free of errors, they may, and do, make unwise changes to please review panelists," she said. A panel of only academic pro­ fessionals would be less likely to give in to personal beliefs and make omissions of certain con­ troversial facts from textbooks, Smoot said. Others argue the process has become too political and say teachers should have a larger role. "We are concerned that the current selection process may be too politicized, in that the elected State Board of Education mem­ bers have the ultimate decision about who sits on these panels," said Holly Eaton of the Texas Classroom Teachers Association. "We believe it is important that educators who are experts in the particular subject comprise a majority of the panel members." The committee called several panels, on topics ranging from tinance to technology instruction, to testify to explain the state's textbook selection process and address their concerns with the current system. The committee hopes to lay the groundwork for a Sept. 7 hearing that will begin to explore poten­ tial reforms, said committee chair Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano.

PPD BEVELOpWENr m A subsidiary of PPD Inc For more information, call: 462-0492 Critics say APD traffic program not a deterrent TRAFFIC, FR0M 1 Another widespread criticism received by Cannon's office involves the idea that people are going to avoid speeding in the specified areas, but be more will­ ing to break the law in others. "[Avoiding the enforcement locations] would involve some­ one to get up in the morning and check the APD Web site to see where they're going to break the law that day — most people simply aren't that vigi­ lant," Cannon said. Although the project's motive is to reduce traffic fatalities and accidents, traffic enforcem ent is not going to prevent people from speeding or drinking while driving, Cannon said. He said the project is helping the depart­ ment meet its goal of increasing voluntary com pliance among the public and making it safer to drive in Austin. "The final solution has to be voluntary com pliance," he said. includes The operation is in its third year, and also the use of empty decoy vehicles, unmarked police cars and traf­ fic safety education. During the previous year's initiative, offi­ cers wrote 31,000 traffic-related citations and made more than 300 DWI arrests, Cannon said. The program funded by grants specifically earmarked for traffic enforcem ent and does not result in fewer officers patroling other areas. is the Despite large num ber of citations issued and arrests made, Austin traffic fatalities are significantly higher than at the same point last year, accord­ ing to APD statistics. Austin has had 42 traffic deaths since Jan. 1, 2004, com­ pared to 52 during the entire year of 2003, said APD spokes­ woman Laura Albrecht. Austin is certain to pass last year's mark, as the number of deaths at this point last year was 23 percent lower at a total of 32. Austin saw 76 traffic related deaths in 2001 before Operation Summer Heat began three years ago in 2001. UTPD crim e prevention Officer William Pieper said the University's police officers are good at enforcing traffic rules, but the number of people com­ mitting DWI and speeding vio­ lations is a problem. "Reducing traffic violations can be difficult to do," Pieper 'Public education is very said. important. In my experience on the street, most people I stopped for speeding simply didn t know what the speed limit is." Pieper said the APD program is beneficial, because it makes people aware that the police are out there. The U FPD does not have a program similar to Operation Sum m er Heat, but the depart­ ment does increase enforcement in response to complaints made by members of the UT com ­ munity. "If we get reports of people speeding or running lights in a particular area, we take heed of that and tend to step up enforcem ent," Pieper said. oditor@ ddilytexdnonline.com Web Editor: CONTACT US Main Telephone: (512) 4 7 1 -4 5 9 1 Editor: Ben Heath (5 1 2 ) 2 3 2 -2 2 1 2 M anaging Editor: Erin Keck (5 1 2 ) 2 3 2 -2 2 1 7 m endgingeditor@ ddilytexdnonline. com News Office: (5 1 2 ) 2 3 2 -2 2 0 6 news@ ddilytexdnonline. com Features Office: (5 1 2 ) 4 7 1 -8 6 1 6 fedtures@ ddilytexdnonline.com Sports Office: (512) 2 3 2 -2 2 1 0 sports@ ddilytexdnonline. com Entertainm ent Office: (5 1 2 ) 2 3 2 -2 2 0 9 e ntertdinm ent@ ddilytexdnonline. com Photo Office: (5 1 2 ) 4 7 1 -8 6 1 8 photo@ ddilytexdnonline.com onlineeditor@ ddilytexdnonline. com Retail Advertising: (512) 4 7 1 -1 8 6 5 retdil@ m dil. tsp. utexes. edu Classified Advertising: (512) 4 7 1 -5 2 4 4 cldssified@ m dil. tsp. utexds. edu The Texan strives to present all information fairly, accurately and completely.

Already fending off allegations of prisoner abuse, Gen. David Barno agreed that his men would try to sm ash in fewer doors and handcuff fewer villagers to ease resentment and foster goodwill, a military spokesman said. Local leaders have long complained of heavily armed American soldiers and allied Afghan militiamen descending on villages in the dead of night, leaving behind a trail of wrecked property, wrongful detentions and trampled customs. Radical cleric vows to fight to la st drop of blood’ in Iraq NAJAF, Iraq — Militant cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose Shiite militia has been battling U.S. forces across Iraq, warned Monday that he would fight “until the last drop of my blood has been spilled,” in his first appear­ ance since the violence began. Clashes intensified in Basra, where a British soldier was killed and several others wounded in fighting with militia near the cleric's office Monday, the British Ministry of Defense said. Three militants were killed and more than 10 others wounded, a senior Iraqi police official said. In the holy city of Najaf, the main scene of fighting, U.S. forces tried once more to drive militiamen out of a sprawling cemetery, and an American tank rattled up to within 4 0 0 yards of the Imam Ali Shrine, Najaf’s holiest site, which fighters have reportedly been using as a base. NATION BRIEFS Largest lawyers group takes on U.S. treatment of detainees ATLANTA — The nation's larg­ est lawyers group condemned the government’s handling of foreign detainees Monday over the objections of members who called it a cheap shot at the White House. The American Bar Association criticized what it called “a wide­ spread pattern of abusive deten­ tion methods.” Those abuses, it said, “feed terrorism by painting the United States as an arrogant nation above the law.” The ABA was responding to abuse of Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad and con­ cerns about the treatment of about 60 0 terrorism suspects being held in Cuba. Some lawyers complained that the nonpartisan group, with more than 4 0 0 ,0 0 0 members, was getting too political, espe­ cially as the presidential election nears. Fed expected to slightly raise, then hold, interest rates WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates a quarter-point today, but with job creation at a near standstill, many economists believe the Fed will then put its credit-tightening campaign on hold until after the November elections. That marks a change from the previous consensus that the Fed, when it raised rates for the first time in four years on June 30, was setting the stage for gradual rate hikes at every Fed meeting for the rest of the year. The change is being prompted by last Friday’s startling unem­ ployment report, which showed the economy managed to create just 3 2 ,0 0 0 new jobs in July, the sm allest monthly job increase this year and far below the 200,000-plus jobs that econo­ m ists had been expecting. It was the most dramatic sign yet that the economy had hit what Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan had earlier termed a “soft patch." Most analysts believe the Fed will not see the weak July performance as an indication that the economic recovery is in danger of stalling, noting that other indicators of July activity, such as auto sales, have shown a rebound after a disappointing June. Compiled from Associated Press reports T h e D a il y T f.x a n Tuesday, August 1 0 . 2 0 0 4 Bush’s dilemma: defend economic policy or admit problems President Bush takes part in an “Ask President Bush" cam­ paign rally Monday at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale. Va., just across the Potomac River, a few miles from Washington. Ron Edmonds I The A s s o c ia t e d P ' e s s the recent spate of bad economic news is still the "soft patch" Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan identi­ fied in June or a harbinger of truly bleaker times ahead. Recent reports have shown four months in a row of declining job growth, ever higher oil prices and a drop in consumer spending. "The econom y clearly has weakened. It's not clear why, and therefore it is particularly uncer­ tain how the economy is going to perform between now and Election Dav," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Economy.com. "So Bush is taking a risk. But I don't know that he has a choice. The die has been cast." The im pact of Bush's policies may be wearing stim ulative off after three years of tax cuts, low inflation and low interest rates. Skittish corporations are curtailing or putting off new hir­ ing and investment. Possible ter­ ror attacks, conditions in Iraq and the close presidential race itself are adding to the economic uncer­ tainty. Even Greenspan's Fed, which pushed down interest rates to 40- year lows and held them there for months, can no longer help. It appeared poised to raise a key short-term rate a quarter of a point on Tuesday, following a similar hike — the first in four years — in June. "There are no policy tools left for Bush to use. He's taken his best shot," said Thomas Mann, a schol­ ar at the Brookings Institution. Bush remains on track to be the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over a net loss of jobs. The nation has about 1.2 million fewer jobs than when Bush took office, despite the cre­ ation of more than a million jobs over the past 12 months. According to an AP-Ipsos poll, fewer than half — 46 percent — of those surveyed last week said they approve of Bush's handling of the economy. K e rn 's advan­ tage over Bush on the question of who would do better at creating jobs was 55 percent to 39 percent. The issue takes on larger politi­ cal significance, because states that have suffered the biggest job losses are also likely to be key fall battle- grounds. "A number of these states are Rust Belt states, and their econ­ om ies took a huge hit," said Stephen J. Cimbala, a political science professor at Penn State University. The economic issue will be the most important one in these states, barring a catastrophic reversal in Iraq or a major terror attack." Bush stands by his claim that the econom y has "turned the com er on jobs, aides said, even though he hasn t used that phrase in the past few days. You have to look at the overall picture. The economy is moving forward, and w e're not turning back," said White House spokes­ man Scott McClellan. Steam leak at Japanese nuclear plant kills 4 By Tom Raum The Associated Press WASHINGTON— Soaring fuel prices and slowing job growth are presenting President Bush with a difficult choice: He can con­ cede there are problems with his econom ic policies or insist the recovery is progressing — and risk looking out of touch. The first President Bush lost re-election in 1992 in part because of a perception by voters that he was isolated from the concerns of average workers. The younger Bush has worked hard to show his engagement, traveling extensively to promote his tax cuts and other economic incentives. But the recent spate of bad eco­ nomic news threatens to under­ mine his message that the econ­ omy has "turned the com er" on jobs. Instead of turning a comer, "our economy may be taking a U-turn instead," asserts rival John Kerry. With polls showing Kerry hold­ ing a clear advantage over Bush on the issue of creating new jobs, Democrats announced M onday that party leaders were head­ ing for cities where Bush spoke last week — in Michigan, Ohio, New Hampshire and Iowa — to ask people whether they agreed America has turned a comer. "If George Bush doesn't drop this new campaign slogan, he's in danger of becoming the new P.T. Bamum of American politics," Democratic National Chairman Terry McAuliffe said in a confer­ ence call with reporters. Bush, meanwhile, is trying to hedge his bets — insisting that the recovery is on track while his aides weigh a series of possible new economic campaign themes and initiatives for a second term, including tax code simplification. "The economy is strong and it's getting better," Bush told reporters Monday in the Oval Office. "This c a m p a i^ is going to be talking about visions, about how to keep the economic recovery going." Part of Bush's dilemma is that economists are mixed on whether Katsumi Kasahara I The Associated Press MIHAMA, Japan — A guard stands at the main gate of the Mihama Nuclear Power Plant at Mihama, about 20 0 miles west of Tokyo, early Tuesday.

The Texan Editorial Board and I feel that it w o u ld n 't be p ru d en t for me to be a colum ­ nist d u rin g the regular school year, considering my obligations to Student G overnm ent and pos­ sible conflicts that m ay arise. Despite m y short tenure here ’at the Texan, the experience has 'b e en profound enough to m erit 1 public reflection, so here are the lessons I learned this sum m er from being a colum nist. W riting colum ns is a w o n ­ derful job for those looking to affect change. Texan au th o rs are often syndicated through a national service called U-Wire. I w as surprised w hen a colum n I w rote w as found in a letter from one U.S. representative to other m em bers of the House. A nd on a m ore individual level, I have been touched by som e of the correspondence I have received from readers w ho told m e their personal stories, or w ho said they had n ev er thought of an issue in a particu lar way. I think I w ould have m uch m ore influence next year if I step p ed do w n from my SG posi­ tion to continue w riting a col­ um n. W hile I certainly toyed w ith that idea, I have an obligation to stu d en ts to fulfill m y duties as an elected representative. Instead, I hope o th er stu d en ts w ho are looking to change the w orld con­ sider applying to this post. As an organization, the Texan is very im pressive. Like m any students on cam pus, I have been disappointed in the past w ith various aspects of Texan cover­ age. It is true that things often could be done "better" and per­ haps even "m ore professionally." But at the sam e time, students are turning o ut a quality product, day after day, year after year, w ith minimal help from "profes­ sionals/ While the Texan has pro­ fessional circulation, advertising and production em ployees, and one full-time staff adviser, stu ­ dents produce all of the p a p e r's content.

Equality is m an's m ost dangerous m yth." His paper also sheds light on the roots of his egocentrism: "As part of the eternal organism of man ... I realized that I w as the one thing that m attered in the universe: that I w as the center and purpo se of everything that had ever been or w ould ever be. I w as the fulcrum of everything." Perhaps m ost ironic is his o p p o ­ sition to elections. "Dem ocracy is the Ouija board theory of gov­ ernm ent," he says. "If a lead­ ing scientist w as stum ped with a problem and w anted to know the an sw er to a com plicated question of m athem atics, chem ­ istry or physics, w ould he take a poll of the opinion of those on the street?

Yet, it is alw ays unsettling to see a candidate run for office w ith such a distorted belief structure.

N o chemical or biological w eapo ns ..." This is categorically false. In 1994, the Senate Com m ittee on Banking, H o usin g and Urban Affairs issued the report "U.S. Chemical and Biological Warfare- Related Dual Use Exports to Iraq and their Possible Im pact on the H ealth C onsequences of the Persian G ulf War." It found: "The U nited States provided the G overnm ent of Iraq w ith 'd u a l u se' licensed m aterials w hich assisted in the develop­ m ent of Iraqi chemical, biological and m issile-system program s, chem ical w arfare in cluding: agent precursors; chemical w ar­ fare agent pro d u ctio n facility plans and technical draw ings chemical w arhead-filling equip­ ment; biological w arfare-related m aterials; m issile fabrication equipm ent; and, m issile-system guidance equipm ent." Sadly, the "strategic intelli­ gence" to which Heltzel refers included how to integrate chemi­ cal w eapons into Iraq's offensive capabilities. W hen these w eapons were deployed in 1988, accord- ing to senior defense intelligence officer Col. Walter P. Lang, "The use of gas on the battlefield by the Iraqis w as not a m atter of deep strategic concern." The facts are clear: The Reagan and Bush adm inistrations arm ed Saddam Hussein and quietly applauded his use of WMD. This is not partisan rhetoric; nor is it Bush-bashing. It is sim­ ply a m atter of the public record.

Why? First, as m anager of the lab for the D epartm ent of Energy, UC is the m ost obvious entity to point the finger at. Second, the lab's m anagem ent contract is up for com petitive bid in 2005 for the first time in more than 60 years. The UT, Texas A&M and UC systems, along with 10 private com panies (Lockheed M artin has since bowed out of the race, citing the costs of the bid) have formally expressed interest with the DOE. These scandals at Los Alam os do not help UC in m aintaining m anagem ent, and they make U C's com petitors look like good alternatives. The LA Times has called for UC not to even bother w ith the em barrassm ent of com­ peting, and a senator has written legislation to prevent UC from bidding. But sim ply bashing UC oversimplifies the complex prob­ lem. Security problem s a t Los Alam os are not solely the fault of the University of California; the National Nuclear Security Adm inistration, a semi-autono­ m ous agency within the Energy D epartm ent created to tighten security across A m erica's nucle­ ar w eapons complex, is also to blame. At a congressional hearing In mid-July, just after Los Alamos revealed that two zip disks with classified inform ation w ere missing, Rep. Jim Greenwood, R-Pa., said, "[ IJoday's testimony will dem onstrate that the NNSA experim ent has not been a great success." NNSA has largely escaped the w rath of the m edia that has plagued the lab and UC, but the NNSA over the last four years has been uncritical of the lab's security. It has repeatedly given Los Alam os a "satisfactory" rat­ ing, the highest rating possible, turning a blind eye to problems that continued through these years. The NNSA isn't doing its job. It m akes you w onder why, all of a sudden, NNSA chief Linton Brooks is slam m ing the lab. C ould it be because Congress is starting to show its teeth? Speaking to Congress about Los Alamos, Brooks has said, They devalue the things you need in order to do good science. They devalue business m anage­ ment. They devalue security." If Brooks is right, why hasn't the NNSA stepped in? W here were these com plaints before the zip disks w ent missing? Brooks also stated, in w h a t can be taken as a threat, "(Tjhere is som ething about the Los Alamos culture that w e have not beaten into subm ission." S. Robert Foley, UC vice president for laboratory m anagem ent, has opined that at Los Alamos, "W hen they did som ething wrong, it w as 'm usi­ cal chairs': They could move from one job to another fat the lab]. People d id n 't get fired and that's intolerable." Musical chairs" is an apt met­ aphor, but it's ironic that Foley uses the phrase. UC, Foley's employer, has hired tw o former NNSA officials to run aspects of the w eapons program at Los Alamos — m en w ho oversaw the lab w hile in governm ent service. The sam e "culture of arrogance" at Los Alamos exists at NNSA and at UC, preventing security at sites m eant to provide national security. To simplify the problem s at Los Alamos is to avoid fixing them. A lthough it may be politi­ cally savvy and easier for some to concentrate on UC's respon­ sibility for long-standing the problems, the situation is much worse. Rather than delav fix­ ing the problem s, we should w iden the lens with which we see them.

Neptune studies how the victims walk, and hopes his research will lead to better rehabilitation therapies. Strokes often cause a lack of coordination between patients’ brain and leg muscles, leading to difficulty walking. Neptune hopes to discover more about stroke victims’ impaired coordination by studying the speed at which they walk. He said walking speed "is a very important factor” in determining the rate of recovery. Neptune plans to use his data to create a computer simula­ tion of successfully rehabilitated patients by comparing their walk­ ing patterns with those of other patients. — Clint Johnson Texas Tech hoping to help Mayo Clinic's genetic testing ROCHESTER, Minn. — Officials at Texas Tech University are hoping an arrangement with the Mayo Clinic to cooperate on genetic testing can grow to include clinical trials and visiting professorships. Mayo is analyzing labora­ tory samples for Texas Tech and Thomason Hospital in El Paso, Texas, through Mayo Collaborative Services, the world’s largest medical laboratory. Texas Tech officials say the arrangement is the first step toward increasing cooperation between Mayo and health orga­ nizations in the El Paso area and beyond. One of Texas Tech’s goals is to encourage graduates to prac­ tice in northern Mexico. Those doctors will be part of the West Texas Diagnostic Network being set up in Texas, New Mexico and northern Mexico. Mayo and Texas Tech plan joint marketing to highlight Tech as the best place to send patient samples for testing. — The Associated Press Maintenance employee at A&M apartment reassigned COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M University has reassigned the employee responsible for maintenance at a campus apart­ ment, where an explosion killed a child last week, officials said. Director of Residence Life Ron Sasse said employee James Baletka had been moved to another administrative post, but would continue supporting main­ tenance at the apartment com­ plex. Baletka was the coordina­ tor of apartment services for 88 university-owned campus apart­ ment buildings. Officials said the decision to reassign Baletka was not a demotion. A fiery explosion at one of the buildings last Saturday killed a 4-year-old girl from Bangladesh. Lamiya Zahin, the daughter of two international graduate stu­ dents, died Monday. The fire left her pregnant mother, Lufthansa Kanta, in serious condition and her paternal grandparents, visit­ ing from Bangladesh, in critical condition at the burn unit of John Sealy Hospital in Galveston. — The Associated Press !

By Andrew Tran Daily Texan Staff to Students returning Renovations the University starting Aug. 20 may notice some changes in some of the residential dorm s on campus. to Kinsolving Residence Hall will be completed by the time students move in, but construction near Moore-Hill Hall and a new dorm on Whitis Avenue will be ongoing. The bulk of the construction projects will be taking place away from the residential areas and w on't impact students moving into dorms, said Doug Garrard, the UT associate director of Parts of Moore-Hill Residence Hall are being demolished and renovated to make way for the construction of the new Gregory Gym Aquatics Complex. The $13.9 million aquatics com­ plex was approved in a referen­ dum in 1999 by the student gov­ ernment and approved by the UT System Board of Regents in early February 2004. The indoor pool will be reno­ vated, and three outdoor pools will be built in the parking lot that used to exist between Gregory and Moore-Hill, said Brent Chaney, Student Government president. The complex, which will be completed by fall 2005, will also have a cafe and provide services such as wireless Internet. The real impetus was to make a contribution to the University A new front desk, game room, program space and laundry' room for Moore-Hill are currently under construction and will be completed around October, said Jack Patton, project director of construction. "A temporary front desk and programming area will be avail­ able when students check in this August," Patton said. The majority of the demolition will be finished by the time stu­ dents come back, Garrard said, adding that the housing divi­ sion will be communicating with Moore-Hill residents, as they did with residents surrounding the construction of the San Jacinto dormitory' in 2000, to help them cope with noise interference resulting from the construction. Renovations on Kinsolving, including upgrading the electrical service and installing fire sprin­ klers, will be concluded by Aug. 20, Garrard said. Kinsolving will also see the addition of a mini-grocery store and will eventually host academic support programs, he added. "We hope to make it more of a hub for that side of campus," he said. On that hub will be the new dor­ mitory near Kinsolving on at 27th Street and Whitis Avenue streets, set to open in the fall of 2006. Garrard said the schematic design phase for the dormitory has recently been completed, and the UT System Board of Regents Tower tours offer glimpse of UT history Kyle Ferguson looks out from the upper decks of the University Tower during a tour Saturday afternoon. Tours have run Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons all summer. Shannon Sibayan I Daily Texan Staff The regents are also likely to approve naming the dormitory after Almetris "Mama D" Duren, a former UT administrator who was influential in finding and securing housing for blacks dur­ ing a time of segregation, Garrard said. The coed dorm will house 573 beds, have private baths, and the rooms will be similar in size and layout to San Jacinto, he added. He said the University's goal was to provide bed spaces for 9,000 students over long term. the Right now, we have a capacity of 6,/00, if you include supple­ mental housing, and 7,100 with completion of the new hall. So, the master plan calls for us to increase that 2,000 beds over the next tew years," Garrard said. Regent's son, 2 others die in car crash By Clint Johnson Daily Texan Staff The 18-year-old son of UT System Regent H. Scott Caven Jr. died Sunday evening as a result of a four-car crash in Austin County. The vounger Caven was one of three fatalities in the accident, which happened near the town of San Felipe. H. Scott Caven III lost control of his vehicle at about 5:30 p.m. on Sunday as he was driving east on Interstate 10, just west of Houston, and skidded across the grassy center median, said Texas D epartm ent of Public Safety spokesm an Tom Vinger. C aven's 2000 GMC Yukon struck two H onda Civics that were travel­ ing west, Vinger said. He said a Ford F-150 w as traveling behind the Civics but failed to avoid the wreck, crashing into the other three vehicles. Emergency per­ sonnel pronounced Caven and another m an dead on the scene and took four others to nearby hospitals, Vinger said. He said C aven's passenger, William Finnegan, died after being taken to Memorial H erm ann Hospital in Houston. DPS R andy T rooper Stavinoha is investigating the case and said in his report he is uncertain why Caven lost control of the vehicle. Chris Chaffen, a spokesman for the Caven family, said they are devastated by the incident. "We are so very proud of w hat [Scott] had become and unim aginably grief-stricken about being deprived of what he m ight have become," he said in a statement. "His life was woven into the threads of our hearts, and we will feel his absence forever." Chaffen said the younger Caven was planning to attend the University in the fall as a Plan II freshman. System spokesm an Anthony de Bruyn said the Board of Regents' H ouston m eeting will proceed as scheduled Wednesday and Thursdav, but it is uncertain w hether the elder Caven will attend. Some ex-students return to see view o f UT campus closed between 1974 and 1999 By Susan Shepard Daily Texan Staff The bell tow er atop UT's Main Building is a cam pus sym bol th at can be interpret­ ed in m any different ways. for It's the centerpiece of architect Paul C ret s m aster plan the cam pus. Different lighting schem es transform it into a signal for special events and ath ­ letic victories. And it has an infam ous place in the A m erican consciousness as a m ass m u rd erer's perch. Today, it's been transform ed into a sightseeing destina­ tion. Closed in 1974, the Tow er's spot in cam pus and state lore grew. It was closed because of a series of suicides; nine people leapt to their deaths from the Tow er's deck. Finally, the Tower w as reopened to sm all, regularly scheduled tour groups, allow ing the general public and UT stud en ts an o p p o rtu n ity to see a view that had been unavailable to them for 25 years, although special guests were occasionally treated to Tower visits. in 1999, "The Tower, because of the sym bol that it represents, draw s people for a lot of different reasons, som e that are good things and som e that are not," said C harles Locke, the tow er tour coordina­ tor. Tours begin in the M ain B uilding, w here the g roup passes through a m etal detector. The tou r guides, who are all students, begin w ith some chatter about Tower lore, like the urban legend that it was designed by a Rice alum nus to resem ble an owl (not true; the Tower and 18 other U niversity buildings w ere designed by Cret, w ho created the cam ­ p u s' m aster plan in the 1930s) and that the Tower, w hile officially not as tall as the state C apitol building, is actually 2- feet higher because it's built on a 6-foot hill. th ro u g h After the in troduction to the tower, guests ride an elevator up to the 27th floor and pass the Internal A udits office before clim bing stairs to the Tow er's observation deck. They are allow ed to rem ain on the deck for about 20 m inutes to gaze at the view of A ustin through m etal b ars w eld ed together about six inches apart. "P retty m uch everybody w h o 's up here, and I w as guilty of it too w hen I took the tour, w ants to know about the sniper, and I think th at's kind of sad," said C hris B urnett, a com m unication senior w ho's been w orking as a tour guide for nearly a year. "I understand why, but it's sad that th at's the most interesting thing about it." However, m ost of the tour attendees on S aturday d id n 't seem to find the Charles W hitm an shootings the m ost com pelling reason to visit the Tower. Johnna C arlson, a Blinn College stu d en t, said sh e 'd heard about the W hitm an shootings, but she and friend S andra D elacam ara, a senior at Cy-Fair H igh School in H ouston, were m ore interested in the architectural history of the cam pus. D ebbie C am pbell, a 1987 graduate, said she w anted to show her children the cam pus from a good view point. Cam pbell atten d ed the U niversity during the tim e w hen the Tower w as closed.

In the Crestview neighborhood, people are friendly and open about the unusual street name in the heart of UT country. Residents said they get com­ ments on the street's name. "It's a little bit strange," said Christopher Sinclair, a sixth-year Ph.D student in mathematics at the University. "People ask me things like, 'Do you really live there?"' Sinclair said that the Aggie Lane street sign often gets stolen. ''M y house can be hard to find because of that," he said. An employee with the City of Austin sign shop said his depart­ m ent has made three replace­ ments for the sign since last year. A BANNER DAY "i'm guessing it's the Aggie name," he said. Ronnie Prellop, owner of the Crestview Minimax IGA grocery' store, said the street is not named after Texas A&M University. “ P e o p le a s k m e th in g s like, ‘ Do you really live t h e r e ? ’ ” Christopher Sinclair, Aggie Lane resident "The wife of one of the devel­ opers was named Agnes, so the street was named Aggie Lane after her," Prellop said. Other residents tell a different story. Gladys Gresser, who has lived in Crestview with her hus­ band for 51 years, said that the street is named after a favorite aunt of developer Ray Yates. "When we first moved here, Aggie Lane was the secor.d-to- fast street within the city limits," Gresser said. The Crestview neighborhood, which is between Anderson Lane and N orth Lamar Boulevard, was developed by the Austin Development Company in the late 1940s. The company was dissolved in the 1960s, said Craig Cherico, a grandson of Yates. There is also a street named after developer Yates himself in Crestview. A majority of the houses were built in the 1950s and can sell for $160,000 to $170,000, said Bob Schreiber, a realtor who has leased properties on Aggie Lane. Cherico grew up in the neigh­ lives there borhood and still today. "It's like living in a small town," he said. Chip Harris, president of the Crestview Neighborhood Association, said the neighbor­ hood is unique, because of the mix of people living there. "There are older residents along with younger families," Harris said. "[It] gives the neigh­ borhood a unique flavor."

Teen Fest ends reading program S u m m e r e v en t celeb rates readers accom plish men ts By Alice Wu Daily Texan S taff Lauren Bauer, 14, said she fin­ ished four books in one weekend because she loves reading. Tiffany Taylor, also 14, said she read because she wanted to win prizes. Taylor and Bauer both par­ ticipated in the Austin Public Library's Sum m er Reading Program, which concluded T hursday with Teen Fest, a cel­ ebration for the teenagers who finished the program. "Teen Fest is fantastic. I love all the games and the way it is all set up," Taylor said. "Two thumbs up." The event, held at Wooldridge Park, featured games such as a bungee run and Velcro wall, along with head-to-head competitions with electronic basketball. The library's summer reading program is held every June and July for students ages 12 to 17, said Joanna Nigrelli, APL's Wired for Youth librarian. Teens who finished four books according to their interests were allowed to participate in Teen Fest. "It's our first year to do this," said Jeanette Larson, APL's youth services manager. "The celebra­ tion encourages more kids to visit the library, to read and to use the information resources." The students in the program are allowed to work at their own pace, Nigrelli said. "It's not a class. They did it at home," Nigrelli said. "IFs an inde­ pendent program." About 170 kids completed the program last year. "More than 800 kids finished the program [this year]," Larson said. "This is the most successful teen program we've ever done." She said she expected 200 teens to participate in the celebration. The public was welcome to attend the celebration to enjoy free food, games, music and prizes. APL offered program partici­ pants prizes donated by local orga­ nizations, such as lunch bags with snacks, CDs and CD players. Three teens were awarded a $100 certificate to purchase school clothing. "We think it's a fun way to end the summer," Nigrelli said.

I BRIEFS ‘Wear Yellow Day’ Aug. 13 honors Lance Armstrong Austin Mayor Will Wynn has declared Friday, Aug. 13, a “Wear Yellow Day” to honor six­ time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong. The Austin native will arrive home after his record-setting victory and will be greeted with a Congress Avenue parade in which he will ride his bicycle alongside Wynn and Gov. Rick Perry. Robert Earl Keen and the Steve Miller Band will perform a concert fol­ lowing the parade. The Tour’s leader customar­ ily wears a yellow jersey, and Wynn said he wants Austinites to wear the color to the celebra­ tion. “Lance has made us proud,” Wynn said. “On Friday, we'll have a chance to show our appreciation by wearing yellow and throwing a celebration as large as Lance’s victory.” — Clint Johnson Read about w hat’s going on in your world in T h e D a il y T ex a n Expect news, viewpoints and entertainm ent in our daily sum m er sections: • Page Two • World & Nation • State & Local • University • Sports • Entertainment • Opinion • Comics A look at lexas track stars he ad in g to the Olympics www. dailytexanonline. com Sports Editor: Connor Higgins E-mail: sports@dailytexanonline.com Phone: (512) 232-2210 •k : Tuesday, August 10, 2004 S i d e l i n e Football players excited to check in, ready to go By Phillip Orchard Daily Texan Staff W hile m any UT students checking into Jester dormitory in the upcoming weeks may dread the end of the summer, one group of well-known athletes can't wait to get things started. " I f s a great feeling," senior saf­ ety Phillip Geigger said. "It's kind of like going to a family reunion." The Longhorn football team in Monday, officially checked with high expectations for this season following a summer which senior defensive tackle Stevie Lee called, "the best by far we've had as a team." Lee is not alone in his sen­ timents. Nearly all the players available at M onday's kickoff press conference seemed proud and excited about the work they did to prepare for the season. "This offseason definitely has been different," said senior run­ ning back Cedric Benson, who com pleted an eight-day mis- dim eanor crim inal trespassing sentence on Sunday. "Everyone is just tired of losing point-bíank. We want a championship." Although players are not allowed by the NCAA to work with any of the team coaches during sum m er months, many stayed or returned to Austin to participate in grueling workouts with strength and conditioning coach Jeff Madden — running bleachers, blitzing through wind sprints, and pushing the two-man sled up and down the field. Working together in the Austin heat and pushing each other past their preconceived limits is something players say will push them through the times when the games get hard, and hopefully the Longhorn program allow to take that elusive next step to championship level. W hether this sum m er's hard work will pay off remains to be seen. The Longhorns hit the meat of their schedule against Arkansas on Sept. 11 and, of course, in Dallas against Oklahoma on Oct. 9. But the shape of the athletes will be tested long before the games start. Head coach Mack Brown said that the first two or three days of practice will be dedicated to gauging the condi­ tioning of his players. "It's important, because it has been an indication of the guys who had the best summers since we've been here," Brown said. "It will be an evaluation, because with the freshmen coming in and the chan­ ges we made at the end of spring practice, depth charts can change." Depth issues Several players did not report with their teammates on Monday, including several key defen­ sive linemen. The most notable absence was junior defensive end Mike Williams, who announced that he would not be with the team this fall. "I have some academic issues I need to take care of in order to return to the team," Williams said. "I'm really disappointed that I'm going to have to miss the season, but I'll spend the fall focusing my energy on that and will return to the team in the spring." Two other defensive ends, red- shirt sophomore Bryan Pickryl and senior Austin Sendlein, will also miss the season. It appears as if Pickryl, who has suffered from chronic shoulder problems, will spend the season concentrating on his health and working tow ard his degree. Sendlein announced that he is hanging up the pads and will spend his senior year as a student coach. In com in g Adam Ulatoski, who would have pro­ vided depth at offensive tack­ le, w as the only freshman who did not make it to campus.

Swim master goes global By William Wilkerson Daily Texan Staff "Best in the business." "The greatest." "Warm and em bracing." "K een sense of humor and a bright m ind." No, these are not rave reviews from legendary movie critics about this w eekend's highly acclaimed new release. These are simply just a few excerpts of impressive words for a man simply known as "Eddie." And if you've been around the UT cam­ pus or even Austin at all for the past 26 years, there's a good chance you may have run into him at Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Sw im Center, where he coaches the Longhorns' swim program. And if he managed to escape you throughout the state capital for the past quarter decade, then you could have seen him rumbling through "The Plains" at Auburn University in the m id-'70s while heading the Auburn Tigers' swim team. If he managed to elude you there as well, then you're either really bad at hide- and-seek, or it could have been because four of those summers were spent w'hile either assisting or head coaching the U.S. Olympic Swim team. W ho is Eddie? Well that would be Edwin "Eddie" Reese, and if you w'ant to get a glimpse of him now', you've missed him once again. He is currently in Athens, Greece, serving his second stint as the head coach of the U.S. Olympic swim team. And just as well as W hoopi Goldberg's "Eddie" did in the box office, your money would be safe to bet that a lifelong biogra­ phy of this International Swim ming Hall of Fame member, possibly entitled "Resum e as big as Texas," would do even better. He assumed the reigns at Texas for the 1978-79 season, w'hen his team finished 21st at the NCAA championships.

Daily Texan File Photo Photo courtesy of UT Media Relation Round Rock slowly solving its problems at the plate By Ryan Derousseau Daily Texan Staff All baseball teams, throughout every season, go through slumps. Clubs just hope these do not come at bad times and affect everyone on the team. For the Round Rock Express, their slump has come at the worst time, and it's sparing no one. in The Express can't seem to be able to put runs on the board. It started against the Midland RockHounds, the second-place team the Texas League's Western Division. Round Rock was swept by the RockHounds in four games. In the series, the Express could only muster four runs, and in two of the games, they were shut out. Going into Thursday's game the second-half Western with division leader San Antonio Missions, the Express needed a spark and needed it quickly. They came into the series four games back. It was undoubtedly one of the most important series of the season. They did not find the spark in the first game of the series, losing 2-1 despite a fantastic outing by pitcher D.J. Houlton. Round Rock could only give Houlton two hits the entire game. Their only run came w'hen John Topolski singled to left field, which brought Junior Zamora home for the score. Houlton only gave up four hits, but the two big hits came in the top of the seventh inning. San Antonio's designated hitter Shin Soo Choo singled, and shortstop Michael M orse blasted one over the left field wall. "W e are struggling, about as bad as a team can struggle overall," Round Rock manager Jackie Moore said after the game. "W hen you end up like w e have been doing, [getting] two or three hits, one run, it puts a lot of pres­ sure on a lot of different people." Still looking for a spark, Round Rock might have found it on Friday. Tim McClaskey started and took a no-hitter into the eighth inning. The problem was the Express See ROUND ROCK, page 8 Brandon M cKelvey ! Daily Texan Staff A Round Rock batter takes a cut during a recent game.

"H e has experienced various competitive situations that he can give advice to. He has a real hunger for teach­ ing young people how to be the best that .they can be, and he does not really waver that enthusiasm." He even has a positive influence on coaches with whom he competes for the National Championship on a yearly basis, such as David Marsh, the reigning head coach of National Cham pion Auburn University. "[Eddie] is a wonderful role model for a coach like myself, and in many ways, his style of coaching and his demeanor w ith his athletes is something I try to model in my coaching career." Reese also had a big influence on M arsh's decision to become a coach. "1 made a comment about a kid's stroke while w atching a prep school meet in the Northeast, and he told me I had an eye tor this. Marsh said. "And that comment resonated with me and solidified what 1 had hoped for; to get the approval of somebody of his status and experience." Even coaches from other sports know the kind of character and determina­ tion Reese possesses. "H e is pretty self­ less and giving o f himself to the sport and directly to his players," said Augie Garrido, the head baseball coach at Texas. He gives all the positive qualities that it takes: a great teacher, a great coach and a great leader." In May of 2002, Reese w as elected as an honor coach and inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame, which is known as the worldwide focal point of the sport. Another honor bequeathed to Reese was the Am erican Sw'im C oaches' Association Coach of the Year award in 1991. He followed that up by earn­ ing the highest honor available at the College Sw im m ing Coaches Association — the National Collegiate Scholar and Swim Trophy. Dating back to 1965, this honor, w hich recognizes a swim coaches' overall contribution to the sport over an extended period of time, is well deserved for a coach who has represented the sport o f swimming with class, dignity, honor and pride throughout his career. His name has grown synonymous with swimming, just as Dean Smith's name is with basketball or Bill Walsh's is with foot­ ball. Whether his name being called out by one o f his athletes, friends, coaches or even a reporter in Athens, one thing is certain: At first chance, Eddie will walk over with a smile on his face and a joke on the ready. He just w^ants to share a few' laughs. FOOTBALL, FROM 7 in Dallas to rehab his injured back before reporting to the team next spring. Redshirt freshman Erik Hardeman and sophomore Marco Martin did not report today, but both players said that they needed to take care of some per­ sonal matters before joining the team for preseason drills. Practice schedule The Longhorns begin practice tomor­ row at 6 p.m. at Frank Denius Fields. Brown announced today that his staff had made a few changes to the practice schedule in order to make it more fan- and player-friendly. "We decided to move practice from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. for this w'eek," Mack Brown said. "Several of our guys are still in the second session of summer school and don't take finals until the 17th. Practicing later reduces the number of time conflicts w ith those guys. We also wanted to avoid practicing in the heat of the day, and this will allow' more of our fans to come out and w'atch after they get off work." Texas fans w ill have plenty of oppor­ tunities to see the Longhorns prepare for the upcoming season. The team's first five workouts, as well as all eve­ ning practices and two scrimmages, will be open to fans. The Longhorns' first scrimmage is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 21 at Darrell K Royal- Texas Memorial Stadium. Texas' final scrimmage on Aug. 24 at 6 p.m. will be the last open practice prior to the Longhorns' season opener against North Texas on Sept. 4. Ex pi css t ebounds well against San Antonio after slow start at plate ROUND ROCK, FROM 7 still could not get any runs, and it w as a scoreless game going into the bottom of the ninth. With Willy Taveras on second, Express second baseman Brooks Conrad was supposed to get a free walk to first. However, Missions pitcher Chris Key placed the third pitch too close to the plate, and Conrad sent it into left field. San Antonio left fielder Jam ie Bubela missed the catch as it glanced off his glove, allowing Taveras to score on the error. Once again, the Express could not score very many runs. But this time, they found a way to win. I his is the kind of game that can jump-start a team, " Moore said after Friday's game. He was right. O n Saturday, tied for last in the league for team batting average (.266), the Express finally found their bats in a big way. It was a hit fest, and the leader w as Luke Scott. He had a three-run home run in the bottom of the second which scored Taveras and David Matranga, and it put the game away for good. He ended the game with three hits, just a triple shy of the cycle. Zamora also got in the act with a home run in the bottom of the seventh when he sent an Aaron Taylor ball over the left field wall. The Express also got another great pitching perfor­ mance from Jared Gothreaux, w'ho pitched eight shut­ out innings. San Antonio would only be able to get one run across as the Express cruised to a 9-1 victory. It was hard to say if the Express hitting prowess in game three of the series was due to their bats or the Missions' pitching. Juan Done started for San Antonio, and through four games this year, he has a staggering 9.70 ERA against Round Rock. However, any thought that it was the pitcher instead of the hitters was crushed in game four. The Express started out with the lead when Hector Gimenez, in the bottom of the second, doubled to the left-center gap, scoring Matranga and Charlton Jimerson. Despite the early scoring, it was tied 3-3 going into the bottom of the eighth. Round Rock's bats woke up again when Jim erson singled to right and stole second. G im enez then hit a soft single to right that scored Jim erson. Later, M ike Rodriguez singled to left, scoring G im enez. Conrad also had an infield single that scored Taveras, giving the Express a 6-3 cushion heading to the ninth. The M issions w'ould threaten in the top of the frame but were unable to bring the tying run home, falling to Round Rock 6-5. The Express belted 10 hits in one of their m ost im portant gam es of the year. "It was obviously a big gam e," Moore said. "They were close, but bottom line is they were close in our favor.' Round Rock was able to get within two games of the Missions for the division lead. They are facing the last-place EL Paso Diablos in a six-game home series this week. Member of Greece s judo team jumps oft balcony, boyfriend follows suit By Niko Price The Associated Press NEA IONIA, Greece — As relatives tell it, it was the stuff of Greek tragedy: A love-struck young man threw him self off his balcony Monday, two days after a quarrel prompted his girlfriend — a m em ber of Greece's Olympic judo team — to jump from the sam e spot. "H e had very intense feel­ ings ab o u t the girl. He w as very m uch in love," said N ikos D rakopoulos, a printer who lives across the hall from the couple. "H e could not see him self living if she w as gone." G iorgos C hrisostom ides, 24 w'as on life-support at an Athens hospital with injuries to his head and back. His high-school sweet­ heart, 20-year-old judo champion Eleni Ioannou, w as at another hospital in critical condition with multiple fractures to her head and body. 1 he couple had been insepara­ ble ever since Ioannou moved into the apartm ent C hrisostom ides shares with his grandparents just more than a year ago. Chrisostomides w as raised by his grandparents after his father died and his m other rem ar­ ried. He lost his job as an auto mechanic and hadn't been able to find another one, relatives said. Neighbors said the couple spent a lot of time in their apart­ ment in the w orking-class Nea Ionia suburb of Athens, listening to loud rock music. When they went out, they went out together. Ioannou, a student at the Athens Gymnastics Academy, had become somewhat of a local celebrity since she qualif ied for Greece's Olympic judo team in the 172-pound-plus competition. She had been sched­ uled to move into the Olympic Y'illage on Wednesday. "Everyone was proud of her. She helped kids in the neigh borhood Drakopoulos said. to have d ream s," Friends and relatives said the couple's argument on Saturday w'as minor, and they were shocked at its tragic consequences. "It was a small fight, some­ thing silly," said Chrisostomides' cousin and downstairs neighbor, Paul M ichaelides. "It started about who w'ould play solitaire on the computer." The fight escalated, and ioannou eventually hurled herself from the balcony, they said. She fell onto a concrete driveway that winds behind the apartment building.

He was very upset," said Evangelia M ichaelides, C hrisostom ides' great-aunt and neighbor. On Sunday, Chrisostomides' grief got the better o f him. Screaming, "I'm going to find Eleni," he ran tow'ard the balcony, but friends and relatives restrained him before he could jump. Chrisostomides' grandmother took him to see a therapist ¿Monday morning, and he was to return on Tuesday, relatives said. Chrisostomides was having lunch with his grandmother, he suddenly stood and bolted for the balcony. "H e was sitting there eating, and he just got up and jum ped," M ichaelides said. "H is grandpar­ ents were there, but they couldn't stop him ."

August 1 0 , 2 0 0 4 Cambodian family struggles to revive sport of kickboxing Tradition survives despite lacking funding , facilities By Ker Munthit The Associated Press BA 11AM BANG, Cambodia — In the yard o f a Cambodian slum shanty are four pairs of boxing gloves and a punching bag leak­ ing sawdust. They are Sao Thin's humble weapons in the struggle to resurrect kickboxing, a beloved sport that died in the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge. " This is a Khmer kickboxing family — from father to son to grandchildren," says Sao Thin. "M y heart is in love with this sport, and I'm afraid it will disap­ pear when I die." With his extended family of 14, living in a shack in Battambang, a town about 155 miles northwest of Phnom Penh, Sao Thin pur­ sues his self-declared mission to restore kickboxing to its former glorv. The family is poor, but the lessons are free. Sao Thin could have been a contender. But he fought just nine matches — four wins, three losses and two draws — before the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975. The radical communist group stamped out the sport, along with virtually every other popular tradition, while slaugh­ tering an estimated 1.7 million of their country'men. His son, Sao Bunthoeun, scored just one win and one loss before the four-year horror began. In 1980, soon after the Khmer Rouge regime was toppled, they picked up where they left off. Together they have coached more than 100 students, including five of Sao Thin's grandchildren. The father is 65 now, and the son, 46, barely eking out a living. Their 25 current students are from poor families, donating some of the money they earn in tourna­ ments to help support the club. In the rainy season, the tiny training yard is flooded, and they have to move to higher ground. Neighbors marvel at their per­ severance. "N o matter what, they just keep struggling along with their students," said one neighbor, 54- vear-old Eng Vary. Battambang is the heartland of kickboxing, and many of C am bodia's most serious con­ tenders hail from the province. But sports in Cambodia suffer from a lack of money and training facilities, and Cambodian teams usually get trounced in interna­ tional competition. Still, kickboxing "in practical terms, is far ahead of other sports," said Oum You ran, president of CABA, the Cambodia Amateur Boxing Association. It is hugely popular with Cambodians, with fans turning out at arenas and tuning in on television, he said. They take kickboxing very seriously — sometimes too seri­ ously. One recent fight between a Cambodian and an Australian ended with both competitors flee­ ing the ring under a hail of plastic bottles. About 1,200 kickboxers are training at 57 clubs across the country, Youran said. A national championship is held every year, the next slated for November. Non-championship tournaments take place in the capital every weekend. Three Cambodian TV stations organize matches on their prem­ ises with com m ercial sponsor­ ship. fighters C am bodian have taken on foreign rivals, particu­ larly from neighboring Thailand, where the sport is hugely popu­ lar, but their celebrity is generally limited to their own country, Top-class winners can collect up to 400,000 riel ($100) and los­ ers half that amount, although even the $30 purses in the lesser categories go a long way in a country whose per capita income is less than a dollar a day. Thaing Sitharn, a 19-year-old student of Sao Thin's club, said he does odd jobs such as con­ struction work when he's not in training or competing. Sao Bunthoeun, trainer, works as a porter at a nearby mar­ ket. But today he is overseeing some profusely sweating students the t Andy Eames I The Associated Press Female kickboxer Ngeam S arim spars w ith Sao Thin at the 65-year-old fo rm e r kickboxer's tra in in g fa c ility in B attam b a ng , about 1 5 5 m ile s no rth w e st of Phnom Penh, on April 7. as they practice in swirling dust under a broiling afternoon sun. "Knee! Direct punch! Knee! Direct punch!" he shouts. One pair of boxing gloves has been used for so long that its top layer has peeled off. T h o eu n Sao Bunthoeun's 16-year-old daugh­ C hanry, in "Boys ter, began training two years ago. the neighborhood used to say to me that as a girl, I shouldn't do this. But I told them why not, since I have arms and legs just like them," she said. When not training, she baby­ sits and cooks for younger kin. She said she wants to quit the ring in five years and become a trainer. Her cousin, Pheap Sophea, has fought 51 bouts — including one across the border in Thailand — since he was seven. "I love Khmer kickboxing, and I want to be famous," he said. And he's only 11.

At a mere 29 minutes, this EP feels done before it ever gets a chance to grow beyond the ragged borders of Phosphorescent's musi­ cal shores. Often EPs are viewed as just a stop on the path between albums, but this one is genuinely a deviation for Houck, and if that's all he's going to give us, well, it's worth more than just a cursory glance. For those of you trying to grasp what Houck might sound like, he exists in that singer/song­ writer vein in which Will Oldham of Palace fame, old Wilco and Rhett Miller so comfortably reside in their own shaggy way. His songs range from the quiet, contemplative opener "Toes Out to Sea" to the stomping, off-kilter P h o to c o u rte sy of Biz 3 puts down a couple of emotional, hard-hitting songs reminiscent of 9/11 and the death of D J/pro­ ducer paWL's father ("Take No Chances"). short In addition to the b-boy styles and boom-bap breaks in the shad­ ows of El-P, "The Multi Platinum includes D ebut A lbum " also a "Interlude" by paWL. But before long, the music returns to its natural state of sound-bombing quickness and synthesizing New York City night­ life ("Barhopping"). turntable Though not quite "hotter than Susanne Somers in the Sudan sum­ mer," it's definitely a hot ticket if you're into the quick lips of emcees such as Busta Rhymes. Aside from some electro-funk beats and the emo-rap, Alaska and Wind are, undoubtedly, lyrically able, and they seriously kill it on a handful of tracks. With 16 songs that are for the most part foreign to the traditional tight styles of Jukie dty, it'll be interesting to see Hangar 18 sling a million units and live up to "The Multi Platinum Debut Album" title. —Adrian Dickerson Here's w h at else you can get at Crossing Place Zero deposits • Zero fees O n UT bus route • Roommate matching Free Internet • Free C a b ie / H B O Attention ACC Students!
