Report: Union lacks 
space, financing

McCain, Gore victorious

Sarah Snyder
Daily Texan Staff

The Texas Union Building is too small to 
support a student population of 50,000 and 
its officials have not been aggressive 
enough in generating revenues, according 
to a report released Tuesday by student 
uruon experts.

According to the results of a formal 
review of the Union, ordered by James Vick, 
vice president for student affairs, in Decem­
ber 1999, the Union "has not been able to 
successfully respond to a growing popula­
tion with changing interests and priorities" 
and is "extremely undersized."

During a two-day stay in Austin, three 
experts from around the country examined 
the Union's function, size and possibilities 
for expansion. The committee spoke with 
the Union's management and staff, and 
with UT faculty and students to determine 
if the Union was meeting the needs of the 
University.

Committee members included Thomas 
Keys, director of the Oklahoma State Uni­
versity union and coordinator of College 
Unions International; Cynthia Cherrey, 
director of the University of Southern Cali­
fornia union; and Manuel Cunard, execu­
tive director of Association of College 
Unions International and a member of the 
National Association of College Auxiliary 
Services.

Standards used by the reviewers call for 
300,000 square feet of space, but the Union 
has only 157,472 square feet.

Robert Booth, chairman of the Texas 
Union Board of Directors, said space has 
been an ongoing concern for the Union.

"The results confirm what we at the 

Union have said for years," Booth said.

The report recommended three areas that 
could accommodate Union expansion: the 
first two floors of the Undergraduate 
Library, the F -ll parking lot north of Grego-

ry Gym, and the end section of the Darrell 
K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The 
report also suggested that any free space on 
campus could be used to create branches of 
the Union.

Vick said no plans have been made to 
take action, but that the next step is to eval­
uate the report.

"We will spend time studying the recom­
mendations, sharing them with the Union 
board staff and University staff and stu­
dents," Vick said.

If the Union were to be expanded, the 
building process would be financed by a 
loan that would be paid by a new student 
fee separate from the current Union mainte-

Jamie Munkatchy, a chemical engineering senior and organizer for Radical Action Network, 
listens as questions are fielded by her panel during the discussion that was held Monday 
night in lieu of Henry Kissinger's visit to the University, which was canceled.

Forum focuses on freedom of speech

Kathryn A. Wolfe
Daily Texan Staff

While both sides of the debate over the 
recent cancellation of Henry Kissinger's 
speech at the University criticize the situ­
ation for different reasons, each says free 
the protesters' or 
speech — either 
Kissinger's, -depending on who's talking 
— has been quashed at a public universi­
ty, where unfettered discussion should be 
paramount.

UT and LBJ Library administrators said 
the UT Police Department and U.S. Secret 
Service recommended the cancellation 
because scheduled protests could have 
created a volatile, dangerous situation 
inside and outside the event.

Bob Jensen, an associate professor of 
journalism and faculty advisor to the Rad­
ical Action Network, the student group 
organizing the Kissinger protests, said 
nervous administrators pulled the plug

on the event because they wanted to limit 
embarrassing public dialogue.

"It was a suppression of our free 
speech," Jensen said. "I got into universi­
ty life because I believe that public life 
and political life is important, and that the 
role of the University is not just in the 
classroom, but to be part of public dis­
course."

Jensen added that he was sad to be part 
of a university that found that stance 
unacceptable.

Michael Keel, vice chairman of the UT 
College Republicans, said protesters were

Kissinger for holding dissenting views 
from RAN members, and that as a result 
students may have been deprived of the

More than 70 UT students and facul­
ty members attended a vigil in Jester 
Center Auditorium Tuesday to cele­
brate the opening night of Black Histo­
ry Month.

The event, which was organized by 
UT fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi, fea­
tured a rendition of the Negro National 
Anthem, poetry readings and a song 
celebrating leadership in the black com­
munity.

Marlen Whitley, a UT law student, 
read Martin Luther King Jr.'s "1 Have a 
Dream" speech.

Whitley said he believes his perform­
ance of King's speech provided insight 
into the civil rights leader's mission 
and its lasting effects on African Amer­
icans today.

"The speech really meant a lot," he 
said. "Many people are only familiar 
with the '1 have a dream' portion of that 
speech, but tonight people saw that Dr. 
King pointed out all social ills that 
made that dream necessary."

Whitley added that the evening's

Floyd Cochran, a former member of 
the neo-Nazi movement, addressed an 
ethnically diverse crowd on the state 
of hate groups in today's society on 
campus Tuesday as a part of the Black 
History Month Opening Ceremony.

Cochran, who once was affiliated 
with the neo-Nazi Christian Identity 
group Church of Jesus Christ Christ­
ian/Aryan Nations, began his talk 
with an apology to the more than 200- 
member audience.

"To anyone 1 may have hurt in the 
past with my message of hate whether 
directly or indirectly, I am verv sorry," 
Cochran said, adding that he begins 
his speeches with an apology for his 
previous membership in the hate 
group.

He then moved to an in-depth dis­
cussion of hate groups around the 
country, especially the Christian Iden­
tity' movement neo-Nazis have adopt­
ed. Cochran said the Bible has allowed 
many hate groups to substantiate their 
role by twisting it to paint themselves 
as harbingers of Cod's will.

a 'liberal' college cam pus, we need 
to have all voices heard," Keel said.

A bout 50 people, mostly students, 
gathered Tuesday evening in the Art 
Building auditorium to participate in 
a R A N -organized open-forum dis­
cussion in lieu of the speech. The 
auditorium is near the LBJ Library — 
w here Kissinger w ould have spoken.
Most of the discussion centered 
around free-speech issues raised by 
th e cancellation, b u t particip an ts 
also touched on K issinger's record 
as a U.S. civil servant, claims of 
som etim es inaccurate m edia p o r­
trayals of events surrounding the 
speech cancellation and the role of 
the UT adm inistration in the cancel­
lation.

Jamie M unkatchy, a chemical engi­
neering senior and RAN organizer, 
said before the gathered crowd that 
adm inistrators' claims of potential 
violent protest were unfounded and 
that RAN's plans consisted only of 
asking Kissinger questions.

"It's true that w e were gonna get 
in there and we were gonna make 
noise — w e were going to ask to be 
heard," she said, but a d d ed that 
there were never any plans m ade at 
RAN meetings for the protest to be 
violent.

Protesters had planned to shout 
questions to Kissinger because of 
w hat they were told w ould be the 
form at of the discussion — w ritten 
questions 
that w ould be p re ­
screened and selected for presenta­
tion to Kissinger, said Romi Maha- 
jan, an RTF graduate student and 
RAN organizer.

H arry M iddleton, director of the 
LBJ Library, said Kissinger preferred

that audience questions be posed 
vocally rather than in writing, which 
w ould have allowed any audience 
m em ber — including protesters — to 
line u p at one of tw o m icrophones 
set u p in an aisle, free of any screen­
ing process.

M iddleton added that there was 
never any indication given by the 
LBJ Library that questions w ould be 
in w ritten format.

"If there were to be an open mic 
this protest w ould have been a non­
issue," Mahajan said. "We were told 
that there w ould be pre-screened 
questions of a limited number, there 
w ould be no open forum because 
Kissinger doesn't like to do that."

M iddleton said he had no know l­
edge of specifics regarding 
law 
enforcem ent officials' predictions of 
possible violence. UTPD could not 
be reached for com m ent Tuesday.

UT President Larry Faulkner and 
UT System Chancellor William C un­
ningham , w ho were both invited to 
participate in the open forum by 
RAN organizers, could not be 
reached for com m ent Tuesday.

In a joint statem ent released M on­
day evening both declined the invi­
tation, saying concerns over public 
safety and the ability of Kissinger to 
deliver his speech w ere legitimate.

"These are the basic facts of the 
matter," Faulkner and C unningham 
said in the statem ent. "We see n oth­
ing to debate."

nance fee, Vick said.

But the reviewers said Union offi­
cials should not be hasty in raising 
student fees.

"Any additional fee requests, par­
ticularly those required for m ajor 
expansion or annex developm ent, 
should be requested only after the 
Texas Union ... completes an in depth 
study of its role on campus," the 
report said.

A lthough the report recognized 
that the Union needs more student 
fees to succeed, it also p ut some of the 
responsibility for this financing on 
Union officials, calling for more am bi­
tious pursuit of revenue through the 
formation of new business ventures.

The report also said efforts should 
be m ade to m ake the Union's pres­
ence on cam pus "less ambiguous,"

and that the Student Services Build­
ing has pulled "a num ber of priority 
services and programs from the Texas 
Union."

"At this time, the predom inant per­
ception of the Texas Union is as a 
place to meet, eat and sleep, but not 
as the com munity hub of the Univer­
sity or the prim ary focus of student 
leadership development," the report 
said.

Parisa Fatehi, Student Government 
president, said she agreed with this 
aspect of the report, ad ding that 
efforts should be m ade to prom ote a 
more centralized student union.

Vick said the review was both rou­

tine and required by law.

"We do reviews of our Union peri­
odically," he said. "This is not an 
unusual thing."

the messages of black civil rights 
leaders.

"Those w ho are not fam iliar w ith 
the A frican-A m erican culture can 
learn a lot about the cultures and 
values of others from speakers," 
Whitley said.

Angelo Smith, p resident of Kappa 
A lpha Psi, said the celebration w as a 
positive sta rt for Black H istory 
Month.

"It w as a good tu rn o u t and very 
effective in getting everybody m oti­
vated," said Smith, a biology senior.

Racism

Continued from page 1

Cochran also addressed the recent 
Confederate flag controversy in South 
Carolina, saying that he couldn't see it 
as anything but a symbol of racism. 
Although Cochran said he drew pro­
testers when he carried the flag of the 
Aryan Nation, the Confederate flag 
served his hate message without the 
same response.

Toward the end of his speech, 
Cochran showed a film illustrating the 
nature of hate groups in the United 
States. The film's final scene showed a 
baby staring at a swastika pasted on 
the wall over the baby's bed.

"You have to understand, racism 
mostly begins at childhood," he told 
the audience.

Cochran was a member of Aryan 
Nations from 1990 to 1992, serving as 
a national spokesman and recruiter 
until he was told by a fellow member 
that his son should be killed.

"I had just told this m an that my

son had received surgery for a cleft 
palate," Cochran said. "He told me 
that my son was a genetic defect, and 
w ould have to be euthanized."

A year later he found himself speak­
ing out against hate groups at univer­
sities across the country.

Brenda Burt, director of the Multi­
cultural Inform ation Center, said 
Cochran's speech was a follow up to 
the Hate Crimes Lecture Series held 
last year by the Asian Cultural Com­
mittee. The series w as organized after 
posters advertising minority groups 
and events were defaced w ith racial 
epithets and the letters "KKK" in Sep­
tember.

Cochran said such actions indicate 
that hate is a problem at the University.
"A person doesn't just decide to go 
and deface a poster for no reason," he 
said. "To do something like that, a per­
son has to be motivated."

at stake; Bush won 5 and Forbes 2.

Bush took the long view, telling 
The Associated Press, "New H am p­
shire has long been known as a bum p 
in the road for front-runners, and this 
year will be no exception." After call­
ing McCain w ith congratulations, 
Bush told supporters, "I am a better 
candidate for having come to New 
H am pshire and w aging this cam­
paign and because of this competi­
tion."

Gore was winning 52 percent of the 
Democratic vote and 13 delegates; 
Bradley had 47 percent and 9 dele­
gates.

"We're going to march all the way 
dow n the field — from state to state, 
from coast to coast — all the way to 
victory in November." the vice presi­
dent told supporters, as Democrats

and Republicans alike

mine the nominees by mid-March.

The night's w inners, Gore and 
McCain, were 
from New 
flying 
H am pshire for m iddle-of-the-night 
victory rallies — Gore in New York, 
McCain in South Carolina.

Bradley lost badly in Iowa last 
week and surrendered the lead he 
once held in New H am pshire polling, 
but Tuesday night he found solace in 
the narrow er margin and he vowed to 
continue his challenge. "We're m ov­
ing forward," Bradley told AP, and 
indeed he has enough m oney to 
remain competitive in an expensive 
sprint of followup primaries, a luxury 
McCain could not have afforded.

The vice president cast his victory 
as a bad omen for Bradley, whose 
laid-back style and pledges of politi­
cal reform were tailor-made for inde­
pendent-m inded voters of New 
Hampshire.

"If he cannot win here, then that's a 
devastating blow to him," Gore told 
reporters.

Bradley shifted strategy imm edi­
ately. For w eeks he refused and 
ridiculed Gore's request for frequent 
debates, b ut faltering on Tuesday 
night he proposed weekly debates 
starting Sunday through March 7. 
Gore aides said the vice president 
would look at the proposal.

Nearly four out of every 10 New 
Hampshire voters do not declare a 
party affiliation, and these independ­
ents were a potent attraction to insur­
gent candidates McCain and Bradley 
in a state with a proud history of 
knocking front-runners offstride.

McCain credited his agenda of 
finance 

cam paign 

political 
reform for his victory.

and 

Voter interviews showed McCain 
winning in every demographic and 
income group. As expected, he was 
well ahead among independents in a 
state that allows its non-partisan vot­
ers to cast ballots in either primary. 
And he defeated Bush among Repub­
lican voters, a constiuency that Bush 
had expected to dominate. McCain's 
advantage over Bush among GOP 
voters bodes well for their next con­
frontation in South Carolina, a state 
that tends to back establishment can­
didates like Bush.

Social conservative Gary Bauer 
barely registered in the returns and 
was struggling to survive. "I'm a 
fighter but I'm not delusional," Bauer 
said, before flying home to Virginia to 
take stock of his candidacy.

Forbes had to be disappointed, too, 
finishing little better than he did in 
1996, even after investing four years 
and millions of dollars for a second 
GOP bid. Yet Forbes said he w ould 
stay and fight for conservative voters 
who might be tem pted to peel away 
from the suddenly vulnerable Bush.

"I make this appeal to those w ho 
may have backed others because of 
inevitability, I plead with you, please 
come home," he said.

The tangible prim ary yield w as 22 
delegates to the Democratic conven­
tion and 17 delegates to the GOP con­
vention, a tiny fraction of the totals 
needed to win the nominations. The 
true rewards of New Ham pshire are 
mom entum or simply validation of a 
candidate's campaign.

PORT HUENEM E, Calif. — The 
pilots of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 
struggled with a sudden control prob­
lem for at least six minutes before the 
jetliner plummeted into the ocean with 
88 people aboard, federal investigators 
said Tuesday.

The last minutes of the MD-83's 
flight Monday may have been wit­
nessed by pilots aboard four other air­
craft, and the National Transportation 
Safety Board was seeking to interview' 
them.

The plane plunged from 17,000 feet 
and crashed nose-down in the Pacific 
Ocean after the pilot reported problems 
with the horizontal stabilizer, a wing­
like structure on the tail that controls 
the pitch of the aircraft's nose.

Investigators at the crash site also 
said Tuesday they had heard a pinging 
from the ocean, apparently from the 
flight recorders, which could reveal 
exactly w'hat went wrong with the sta­
bilizer.

Nearly a day after the accident, 
searchers had pulled four bodies — one 
man, two women and an infant— from 
the calm sea, which is 300 to 750 feet 
deep in the area. 1 lopes dimmed that 
anyone aboard Flight 261 survived in 
the 58-degree wrater.
NTSB m em ber 

John Ham m er- 
schm idt released preliminary tran­
scripts of air traffic control communica­

tions w'ith the airliner. The last routine 
transmission came at 3:55 p.m. PST, 
when the flight was cleared to continue 
to San Francisco.

At 4:10 p.m. the pilots said they had 
control difficulties and were descend­
ing below 26,000 feet. A few seconds 
later they advised they were at 23,700 
feet and there was "som e discussion 
about their ability to control the air­
craft," Hammerschmidt said.

Over the next few minutes, the pilots 
said they "were kind of stabilized and 
going to do some troubleshooting," but 
then said they had a jammed stabilizer. 
At 4:16 they were cleared for an emer­
gency landing in Los Angeles.

The controllers cleared the plane to 
17,000 feet. The crew acknowledged 
that in w'hat w'as the last known trans­
mission from Flight 261, Hammer­
schmidt said. At 4:21 p.m. the aircraft 
dropped from radar.

H am m erschm idt said 

the NTSB 
would be interviewing as many as four 
pilots who might have seen Flight 261's 
final minutes from their planes — a 
Skywest flight, a pnvate aircraft, anoth­
er Alaska Airlines jet and a fourth plane 
that was not identified.

Jack Evans, an airline spokesman, 
said the plane had no previous stabiliz­
er problems. The plane was serviced on 
Sunday, went through a maintenance 
check Jan. 11 and had a more thorough 
routine check a year ago, he said.

45 countries lose 
U.N. voting rights

U N ITED N ATIO N S — Forty- 
five countries, most of them in 
Africa, lost their voting rights in the 
United Nations General Assembly 
Tuesday after failing to pay their 
dues on rime, U.N. officials said.

M any of them, how ever, are 
expected to pay up before the 
assem bly starts its session again in 
Septem ber and any votes are held.

The m ajority of the 188 U.N. 
m em ber states don't pay their dues 
on time.

But this year, 52 countries fell vic­
tim to U.N. C harter A rticle 19, 
which penalizes long-term debtors, 
after a Jan. 31 deadline for payment 
passed. That is the highest num ber 
in recent years.

The rule stipulates that a country 
loses its vote in the assem bly if the 
its debt equals or 
am ount of 
exceeds the am ount it was billed in 
the preceding two years.

Rome honors

ROM E — The lights at Rom e's

Tuesday in honor of a decision bv 
Illinois to im pose a m oratorium on 
executions.

The am phitheater where gladia­
tors once fought to the death is now 
the center of a worldw ide cam ­

Throughout the year, the lights 
illum inating the Colosseum will 
change from white to gold for a 
tw o-day period whenever som e­
one is spared execution.

The lights burned gold Tuesday 
for the eighth time this year after 
Gov. George Ryan's decision on 
M onday to declare a moratorium 
Ryan called for a special panel to 
study the state's system of capital 
punishm ent, which he said was 
* "frau g h t w ith error." Thirteen

- "There is no margin for error when 
it com es to putting a person to 
death," Ryan said.

IRAs failure to disarm violates November deal

Associated Press

BELFAST, N orthern 

Ireland — 
Northern Ireland's Protestant-Catholic 
government w as plunged into crisis 
Tuesday after a report by an independ­
ent com m ission confirmed that the 
Irish Republican Army has failed to 
begin turning over its weapons.

Amid doubts that the 8-week-old 
Northern Ireland administration could 
survive, the major Protestant party, the

Ulster Unionists, accused the IRA- 
linked Sinn Fein of failing to deliver on 
its side of an American-brokered deal 
that led to their power-sharing Cabinet.
The disarmament commission deliv­
ered its report — confirming that no 
specific acts of IRA disarmament had 
taken place — to the British and Irish 
governm ents 
late Monday- They 
declined to make the report public 
Tuesday.

In a statement, the IRA insisted its

1997 cease-fire should be sufficient 
grounds for Sinn Fein's continued 
place within the four-part)' administra­
tion, the central goal of the 1998 Good 
Friday peace accord.

Ulster Unionist leader David Trim­
ble said the British government now' 
had a "regrettable but 
inevitable" 
choice: to suspend the Cabinet's pow- 
ers in hopes fresh negotiations could 
produce a more ironclad agreement 
involving IRA disarmament, or watch

the Cabinet collapse as the U lster 
Unionists back out.

Referring to Sinn Fein and the ERA, 
Trimble said: "There was never any 
intention on our part to place perma­
nently in government a party allied to a 
terrorist organization that was not pre­
pared to put the means of terror out of 
reach, out of use on a perm anent 
basis."

Trimble said the deal brokered last 
November by U.S. mediator George

Mitchell required the IRA to scrap 
weapons in advance of the just-com­
pleted report, not merely to talk about 
it with the com m ission's chairman, 
Canadian Gen. John de Chastelain.

Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adam s reject­
ed that account. He also warned that if 
Trimble and his colleagues "w alk from 
this process, or force the governments 
to collapse the process, then I don't 
know how we're going to put it togeth­
er again."

EDITORIALS

Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the edi­
tor or writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of 
the University administration, the Board of Regents or the 
Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees.

L eave N o O n e U n c o u n t e d

"Now that the Supreme Court has struck down the 
President's politically motivated 'census sampling' 
gimmick as unconstitutional, the President's lawyers 
are doing what they do best — looking for a loop­
hole." — Republican National Committee Chairman 
Jim Nicholson.

"We can be proud of the fact that the Census 
Bureau and its staff, by understanding sampling as a 
valid scientific method, can be identified with the 
round-earth believers, not the flat-earthers." — Dr. 
Lvnne Billard, professor of statistics, Univeisitv of 
Georgia.

As we enter the 21st Century, one of the most 
important debates we must settle is whether to con­
tinue using outmoded and inadequate methods tor 
conducting the U.S. census or change to scientifically 
proven statistical sampling methods to improve its 
accuracy'. An accurate population count o crucial to- 
many reasons, including determining how distncts 
are drawn for elected offices and allocating billion- ot 
federal dollars each year for school- highways law 
enforcement, health care and a host of other actn itie- 
I he fact is, everybody in Texas loses tor each pen-on 
who is not counted.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the 1990 Cen­
sus failed to count more than 8.4 million Americans 
and double-counted an additional 4 million. Texas 
had the second-highest undercount in the nation 
where some 486,000 people, a disproportionate share 
of whom wen? minorities, were not counted. As a 
result, Texas lost approximately SI billion in federal

assistance that could have been 
used to improve schools, provide 
health care for children and the eld­
erly, and address our infrastructure 

needs.

In response to the undercount, Congress passed the 
Decennial Census Improvement Act of 1991, direct­
ing the National Academy of Science to study ways to 
improve the census. The study, which drew on the 
expertise of the country's top statisticians, recom­
mended the use of statistical sampling to augment the 
2t\\i Census direct enumeration. Amazingly, congres­
sional Republicans, who apparently fear an accurate 
census count, filed a lawsuit requesting that the 
court- prohibit the use of sampling.

cAi Jan. 9, 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5 to 
4 that statistical sampling could not be used in the 
2000 Census to determine the U.S. population for 
congressional apportionment. However, the Court 
did not address the question of whether sampling can 
he used in the census for other purposes, including 
appropriating federal funds and legislative redistrict- 
ing. The Court's silence on these issues means that 
Congress and the next federal administration will 
have to determine if an additional set of sampled 
numbers will be released along with the enumerated

numbers in the spring of 2001.

Assuming both sets of numbers are released, when 
the 77th Texas Legislature convenes in 2001, legisla­
tors will have to decide which set of numbers to use 
for redistricting. L ef s make sure that science and rea­
son prevail over paranoia and power-grabbing. The 
future of Texas depends on it.

What Can We Do?
■ The census questionnaire will be mailed to all 
U.S. households in March of 2000. Encourage your 
friends and neighbors to complete it as soon as possi­
ble.

■ The Census Bureau needs hundreds of tempo­
rary workers to serve as census enumerators. The 
Bureau is sponsonng an application and testing ses­
sion at Palmer Auditorium on Saturday, Feb. 11. For 
more information, call 477-1470.

■ The Texas Democratic Congressional Delegation 
is working to address the sampling issue. Help them 
by urging other federal elected officials to support 
proven statistical sampling methods for the census.

■ Our governor has not yet publicly declared his 
position on this issue. Let him know he must take a 
stand for the good of all Texans and support the use 
of statistical sampling.

W hatever you think about Student G overnm ent, its annual elections 
still give us all a chance to reflect on the state of affairs at the U niversi­
ty. And w hether you like it or not, the decisions you make on election 
day actually do impact the quality of your education.

It is for this reason that The Daily Texan traditionally endorses cand i­
dates for Student G overnm ent president and vice president. Endorsing 
a candidate for office in front of 50,000 people is a responsibility we take 
very seriously and a privilege that few students on this cam pus will 
ever have. It's also incredibly controversial, as many see Texan end orse­
m ents as an abuse of the press's power.

We disagree — but we also realize that our endorsem ents will be 
m eaningless unless the students at this university trust our judgem ent 
and appreciate the objectivity and fairness that goes into the process.

T hat's why w e're doing things a little differently this year. In the past, 
The Texan has interview ed candidates for president and vice president 
only, and issued an endorsem ent for each position. This year, we will 
research every SG position — from president to nursing school rep. — 
and issue a com prehensive set of endorsem ents for every position on 
the ballot.

We are offering each candidate the opportunity to subm it a special 
endorsem ent application, in which w e'll ask them about their creden­
tials and positions on issues specific to the part of cam pus they hope to 
represent.

One question we w on't ask them, however, is which partv they're 
affiliated with. 
Instead, they'll be evaluated on how well they have 
proven them selves as leaders and what they know about the issues fac­
ing the different segm ents of cam pus.

Why all the extra effort? W e're hoping to weed out candidates who 
are trying to ride the coattails of their partv to victory. If a candidate 
can 't intelligently discuss the issues on this cam pus w ithout the help of 
a cam paign flyer, w e'll m ake sure you know.

It's also im portant that this process remain in the clear light of day. 
We will post a list of questions for the candidates on The Daily Texan 
Web site (http://w w w .dailytexan .u texas.edu ) by the end of the week so you 
can see w hat we re asking of the candidates and give us your su gges­
tions as well.

By keeping our endorsem ent process publicly accountable, we hope 
to keep or gain (or in som e cases, regain) your trust. As alw ays, you're 
free to disagree w ith the choices we make. But at the very least, you 'll 
know that our endorsem ent process was fair, organized and objective.

And from a new spaper, you shou ld n't expect any less.

P en a lty

The recent decision o f Illinois Gov. G eorge Ryan to suspend all exe­
cutions in his state should cause Texans to realize that the time has come 
to seriously consider a sim ilar m oratorium .

Ryan expressed concern over the 13 innocent men that had been sen­
tenced to die since 1977 and said he “cannot support a system which ... 
has proven so fraught with error."

Apparently, our governor can. Seven innocent people have been 
released from death row in the Lone Star State. The tim ing of Gov. 
R yan 's announcem ent is particularly ironic here in Texas, where ju st last 
w eek the state Suprem e Court held a public hearing to look into the 
abhorrent level of legal representation afforded poor defendants.

The lack of adequate legal representation, arguably racist application 
of the death penalty and the potentially unconstitutional Texas clem en­
cy process all provide adequate reasons to thoroughly evaluate w hether 
Texas' death penalty provides fair punishm ent or system atic injustice. 
And to actually do that, w e might have to stop killing people for aw hile.
It's also worth noting that — political slogans aside — Texas show s a 

d isturbing lack of com passion when it com es to executions.

We kill the m entally ill. We kill the m entally retarded. And we even 
kill those who w ere children at the time their crim es w ere com m itted. 
All of thi> thanks to the efforts Gov. Bush made last session to kill leg­
islation that would have im proved Texas' crim inal justice system .

Just last week, we executed Glen M cG innis for a crime he com m itted 
w hen he was a minor, in violation of International Covenant on Civil 
and Political Rights. The only other country that has executed a juvenile 
offender in recent years is Iran.

D espite the m adcap pace with which w e've executed people since 
G eorge W. Bush becam e governor, Texans aren 't really as crazy for the 
death penalty as m ost people in other parts of the country think.

Death penalty proponents are quick to cite the approxim ately 70 per­
cent of Texans w ho support capital punishm ent. But w hat they usually 
fail to m ention that if polls offered "life w ithout parole" as an option 
(Texas is one of a handful of states that d oesn't have such a sentencing 
option), that figure would drop to about 40 percent.

Until we make a serious changes to the way we dispense ju stice in 
this state, Texas' death penalty w ill continue to be a national em bar­
rassm ent.

Kissinger, Hussein & Milosevic

I found it painful and shameful to read the alleged 
accusation raised against the people that intended to 
protest Kissinger's talk. I wish I had some magic 
powers to enable those defending Kissinger's pres­
ence on campus to experience some of the conse­
quences of his policies.

To experience what it must have felt living in a hut, 
hearing the approaching sound of B-52's, and waiting 
for the bombs to fall without even being at war with 
anybody (Cambodia). To experience what it must 
have felt to wait for a knock on the door knowing that 
it might be the end of your life for no crime at all, 
except that of having a different vision of societv 
(Chile).

It hurts to see how many of us cannot see the pain, 
the suffering and the horror inflicted upon so many 
human beings in other parts of the world. It hurts to 
see how many of us accept that the end justifies the 
means, even when it leads to the killing of innocent 
people. It hurts to see how many of us are not capable 
of sharing any significant emotion or concern about 
other people's lives and deaths.

I would like to conclude with some questions to be 
answered not according to our political stand but 
according to our stand as human beings, part of a 
society founded on democratic values and human 
rights — and the following are not rhetorical ques­
tions.

If our father, mother, brothers or friends were tor­
tured or killed because of a person's policies, would 
we still favor an "inspired dialogue" with that per­
son? Would we react the same way if, instead of 
Kissinger, the invited speaker was Saddam Hussein 
or Milosevic (guilty of similar crimes according to 
international laws)? Would it be too much to have one 
standard, the same one, for all those responsible for 
the killing of innocent people, regardless of where 
they live, how they look and what they believe in?

Kissinger's support of Israel allows for the continued

blow to democracy in Chile that can still be felt at this 
University when students and administrators cannot 
fathom the acts of dissension, resistance, and protest 
as evidence of a healthy democracy.

Addy Aligned With Administration

Rob A d d /s charge that students who planned to 
protest Kissinger's talk "caused" its cancellation is as 
outrageous as the administration's PR move to equate 
dissent with violence. Even though Monday's editori­
al admits that calling protest a threat to safety is "a bit 
of a stretch," it goes on to lambaste the "overzealous 
causeheads" for their immature, egotistical project: 
refusing to allow the deaths of hundreds of thousands 
of innocents to be overshadowed by the "expertise" 
of their murderer. The thesis of the editorial — that 
students need to "grow up" and shut up — clearly 
aligns the editor with Cunningham and Faulkner's 
position that dissent must not be tolerated at the uni­
versity.

Kissinger's backing out likely has less to do with 
student activism than with his own character. In fact, 
it seems remarkably consistent with his style of doing 
work in the Nixon administration, for example — 
maneuver behind the scenes and avoid public 
accountability at all costs. Keeping Kissinger's pro­
fessional history in mind, it is ludicrous to accuse a 
band of student activists of not letting "the other side 
have their say." This is precisely what Kissinger has 
done by canceling, and the reason is plain: in the face 
of criticism, his record is indefensible.

Kissinger's Global Impact

Let's be clear about why Kissinger really backed 
out of LBJ Library speaking engagement. Kissinger 
canceled because he does not like constituencies that 
challenge his actions, let alone make an effort to hold 
him accountable. The reactions of administrators, like 
most US-centric persons, refuse to recognize their 
"elder statesmen" as war criminals.

It's frightening to see how little historical/global 
perspective folks like Rob Addy and Brian Patton 
have when they write about Kissinger. For example, 
the repercussions of Kissinger's actions are felt today 
around the globe. Cambodia still feels the terror of Pol 
Pot, an anti-American leader that came to power in

The Texans "Radical" Assumptions

TTie following assumptions were made by The 
Texan's editorial regarding Kissinger's cancellation. 
None of them h, ve any merit, and all are extremely 
prejudicial to the cause of those who would hold 
Kissinger accountable for the slaughter of tens of 
thousands of innocent people. Some of them are ver- 
ifiably false.

1. There exists some definable group of people 
known as the "radicals" who carefully plan out and 
bear exclusive responsibility for any breakdown of 
dialogue, even where they have not been given the 
opportunity to do anything.

2. All of the "radicals" that were at the Connerly

protests were planning the Kissinger thing.

3. The distribution of literature and the carrying of 
banners is indistinguishable from literally shouting at 
someone every time he or she attempts to speak.

4. The administration's claims of secret evidence of 
planned violence is acceptable without any question- 
ing.

Please be prepared to produce evidence for these 
claims, if you choose to denigrate one side of a con­
troversial debate. Your editorial was a conclusory and 
pathetic excuse for journalism, barely worthy of Prcru­
da.

Mahajan and Leftism

Mahajan's guest editorial (1 /3 1 /0 0 ) offers an 
instructive, and perhaps chilling, view into the mind 
of a radical Leftist.

Undeniably, Mahajan wanted to ambush Kissinger 
in the same way Ward Connerly was heckled. Com­
pletely unapologetic, with nary a hint of responsibili­
ty-taking, Mahajan inverts the blame for Kissinger's 
cancellation and uses his editorial to stridently vilify 
the Moffett Building, Cunningham, American foreign 
policy, etc. But, in so doing, Mahajan reveals the fas­
cinating pathological core of radical Leftism.

Several common characteristics unite radical Left­
ists. First is an attitude of supreme righteousness. 
Judging those who dissent from the Party Line to be 
"ethically compromised" and "reactionary," radicals 
tout themselves as moral exemplars and progres­
sives. Leftists really believe they are vastly more 
moral and imbued with a more righteous vision than 
you. Pol Pot was adamant about the righteousness of 
his genoddal policies.

Second is a willingness to categorically condemn 
those who are deemed "enemies." Leftism requires 
enemies: successful people, environmental "rapists," 
conservatives, Cunningham, the Bourgeois, sodobiol- 
ogists, whatever. This willingness to righteously con­
demn often leads to a desire first to "confront," and 
then silence, the enemy.

Kissinger — judged, condemned and demonized 
by Mahajan as a “war criminal" — fell victim to this 
neurotic expression of extreme Leftism.

Third is that radical Leftists affirm their identity by 
teanng down those people and things that remind 
them of their inadequacy. Political expression for rad­
icals usually degenerates into the quest to resolve 
inner neuroses. Hence, "politics as psychotherapy" 
replaces any intelligent and reasoned political dis­
course aimed a realizing true principle.

degree in dance.

chair for external relations in the 
Department of Theatre and Dance.

Sanford received tenure in 1976 and 
remained senior jazz teacher until he 
retired in 1998.

He attended Auburn University 
before transferring to the University, 
where he received a bachelor of fine 
arts in 1958.

Lynelle Keil, left, an Austin Community College student Brian Borowicz, center, 
a math graduate student; and Curtis M cLaughlin, a Latin Am erican studies se n ­
ior, live near this house and are angry about the proposed basketball court pri­
marily because of the noise they say it w ill bring to the neighborhood. Delta 
Tau Delta fraternity w ants to tear down the house, w hich it owns, to install a 
basketball court. The Austin City Council approved the project in December.

Patrick Badgley
D aily Texan S ta ff

Delta Tau Delta's plans to tear 
down a house in order to build a bas­
ketball court are drawing criticism 
from neighbors in the surrounding 
North Campus neighborhood.

In December, 

the Austin City 
Council approved the fraternity's 
proposal to build the court, which 
will be located at 509 Elmwood 
Place.

Barbara Epstein, president of the 
Eastwoods Neighborhood Associa­
tion, said the basketball court would 
lower property values in the neigh­
borhood, eliminate housing in the 
campus vicinity and discourage peo­
ple from moving to the area.

"They claim that they will stop 
[playing basketball] at 10 at night, 
but I don't know anyone who wants

to live in a bedroom next to an area 
where people play basketball until 
10," she said.

Robert German, president of the 
Delta Tau Delta Housing Corpora­
tion, said though construction on the 
court has not begun, members have 
already made an informal agreement 
with neighbors to turn off the lights 
and stop playing basketball by 10 
p.m.

German said the values of the 
homes in the Eastwoods neighbor­
hood have been increasing for the 
last five years, and that the basketball 
court would not reverse that trend.

"The house has been here for 60 
years, we certainly don t have any 
reason to want to bring the property 
value dow n," German said. "We 
think it will have a positive effect on 
the neighborhood because we will 
keep the landscape nice."

The city council required Delta Tau 
Delta to purchase an alley adjoining 
the fraternity house before demolish­
ing the fraternity's second nearby 
house and building the court in its 
place. The alley would connect the 
fraternity house to the court, making 
it an "accessory" in line with city reg­
ulations.

"By purchasing 

the drivew ay 
reserve, they could connect two sites 
— the fraternity house and the lot," 
said Jerry Rusthoven, a project man­
ager for the City of Austin. "If you 
own a fraternity house, or a single 
family house, one part can be the 
accessory, and it is not a separate 
part."

Epstein said she and other mem­
bers of the association, who gathered 
100 signatures when the fraternity 
submitted its application to the city 
in April 1999, were not satisfied with

the adjustments.

"O u r 

com plaints have been 
ignored by the fraternity and city 
council members," she said. "They 
may say it's legal, but just because 
it's legal doesn't mean it's right."

Jack Prince, a neighborhood resi­
dent and former UT professor, said 
he lives in the area because he likes to 
be near the University. Prince said he 
believes the basketball court will 
diminish the property value of the 
neighborhood, where many homes 
are being restored and would nor­
mally be in high demand.

"M y home and homes across the 
street are examples of the restored 
homes," Prince said. "These are good 
examples of what we can do with 
these homes. You have to ask your­
self if this is a good place for a bas­
ketball court."

Texas Exes to recognize teachers for excellence

LaTonya Thomas
D aily Texan S ta ff

The UT Ex-Students' Association 
will honor 13 outstanding faculty 
members, all of whom were nomi­
nated by students, at Thursday's 
2000 Texas Excellence Teaching 
Awards.

The aw ards recognize 

faculty 
members who have made an impact 
in the lives of their students, said 
Kim Gundersen, coordinator of stu­
dent relations at the Ex-Students' 
Association, which sponsors and 
co-funds the awards.

"Those selected have dem onstrat­

ed warmth of spirit, a concern for 
society and the individual, the abil­
ity to impart knowledge while chal­
lenging students to independent 
inquiry and creative thought, and 
an understanding of the permanent 
values of our culture," Gundersen 
said.

In Septem ber 1999, 

students 
began nominating professors and 
graduate instructors for the award. 
Nominations were then sent to the 
student council selection committee 
of each college, which then selected 
one professor and one graduate 
instructor.

Ernest Smith, a UT School of Law

professor, said he is honored for the 
recognition, as it has been 30 years 
since he received a teaching award.
"I am really excited," Smith said. 
"It was an extrem ely pleasant sur­
prise."

Leigh Sebastian, a student 
in 
Sm ith's environmental law course, 
said Smith stands out among his 
instructors because he encourages 
student participation in class.

"H e's so approachable because 
he's easier to talk to," Sebastian 
said. "H e welcomes students' com­
ments and student interaction with 
him ."

HUD report delays housing project

East Austin revitalization to be postponed until HUD, ACDC reach agreement
Ashley Kosiewicz
Daily Texan Staff

to m ediate all disputes betw een 
the city, HUD and ACDC.

C onstruction had been expected 
to resume on an East Austin hous­
ing project at the end of January 
after more than a year of delay but 
will be postponed again because of 
unresolved negotiations betw een 
the city and the project's nonprofit 
sponsor.

The Scattered Cooperative Infill 
H ousing Program [SCIP II], a proj­
ect designed to revitalize an area 
bounded by East 11th and 12th 
Streets, as w ell as Branch and 
N avasota Streets, has been 
in 
lim bo since the U.S. D epartm ent of 
H ousing and U rban D evelopm ent 
released an unfavorable m onitor­
ing report for the project in D ecem ­
ber 1998. The final report cam e out 
in May 1999, and the city suspend­
ed funding to the project's spon­
sor, A nderson C om m unity D evel­
opm ent C orporation, in June 1999.

P aul H ilg ers, city d irecto r of 
housing and com m unity develop­
m ent, said the city is doing its best

"The findings cam e out a long 
time ago, and w e've been w orking 
with Anderson and HUD to figure 
out the most cost efficient and time 
efficien t w ay to finish 
it o u t," 
Hilgers said.

The p ro ject 

is sponsored by 
ACDC, an Austin non-profit, com ­
m unity-based organization. ACDC 
executed a contract for 100 units — 
52 for ow nership and 48 for rental 
— on Aug. 13, 1998. The project is 
being financed 
through e n title ­
ment federal funds called the Fed­
eral C om m u nity D evelopm ent 
Block G rant and HOM E funds, as 
well as city money. The total proj­
ect cost is about $7.2 m illion.

The HU D m o n ito rin g report 
highlighted specific areas of infrac­
tion, including failure of ACDC to 
approve a w orking bu dget 
to 
m aintain federal funds and attract 
p rivate fin an cin g. O ther in fra c­
tions include a large developer fee 
paid to ACDC considered unrea­

sonable by the city and ACDC 
attorney fees paid by the city that 
are in violation of the city 's agree­
ment to subsidize only costs relat­
ed to land acquisition and delivery 
of affordable housing units.

The city and ACDC will have to 
produce a new budget that effec­
tively considers any issues having 
cost im pact on the budget and 
repay any federal grant funding 
reim bursem ents.

"H U D holds the city responsible 
for every th in g that happens in 
these program s," H ilgers said.

SCIP II will develop the area into 
a residential com m unity through 
the construction of 100 affordable 
housing units for low and m oder­
ate incom e fam ilies. O f the 100 
proposed units, 26 single-fam ily 
detached houses w'ere com pleted 
and sold before construction on 
the site was halted in D ecem ber 
1998.

D iane G lass, project manager, 
said the project's problems were 
initiated in N ovem ber 1998 when a

historic house in the project area 
was accidentally dem olished, pre­
cipitating a notice of default from 
ACDC. ACDC went into mediation 
with the city to m itigate the loss of 
the unit, and finished constructing 
only units that had been partially 
built.

G lass, however, reinforced that 
the city, as 
it is responsible to 
HUD, will see the project through 
despite past problem s.

"The best approach to proceed in 
strategy is to finish out the rest of 
the 100 u nits," G lass said. "The 
city intends and is fully committed 
to com pleting the project."

Jerry Saegart, the attorney repre­
senting ACDC, said 
that while 
negotiations are going too slowly, 
he is optim istic that a comprom ise 
can be reached and construction 
can begin again.

" I t 's a very com p licated pro­
gram involving a lot of things, and 
w e're continuing to resolve this," 
Saegart said. "I'm in hopes that 
w e're close."

TSU making headway in its financial reform
44 The improvements will provide the framework

The Texas School Performance 

Review also recommends:

for TSU’s future viability and independence.”

— Carole Keeton Rylander, 
Texas Comptroller

TSU now prepares monthly cash 
flow projections so that departments 
can manage their budgets more effi­
ciently, rather than monitoring available 
cash balances on a daily basis.

The university has also organized a 
recruitment committee to attract high 
school students. These efforts are credit­
ed with a 3.3 percent enrollment 
increase for fall 1999, which marks the 
first increase in five years.

"We have had some financial prob­
lems recently, but the progress report 
shows we have been working hard to 
fix things," said Eva Pickens, director of 
TSU communications and university 
relations.

. As a result of recent changes, TSU 
now owes "drastically less" than the 
original $10.5 million, Pickens said.

Bobby Wilson, TSU provost and sen­
ior vice president for academic affairs, 
said the university is in the process of 
negotiations with the U.S. Department 
of Education to reduce the amount 
owed. A decision is expected to be 
made in the next six months.

"Based on the positive remarks of the

• Permanent Staffing — TSU has 
filled a number of vacant positions, but 
four academic departments are still 
headed by interim deans.

• Implementation of a Computer 
System — the report attributed many of 
the obstacles the university faces to 
delays in the implementation of the 
university-wide computer system.

• Financial Management — TSU 
lacks an accurate annual financial 
report.

• Facilities Management — TSU is 
behind schedule on renovations and 
maintenance projects, and should hire 
additional staff or contractors to com­
plete the work.

• Developmental Courses — the 
report said the university is moving too 
slowly in its efforts to prepare first-time 
freshmen students for the Texas Acade­
mic Skills Program.

OPEN LATE TONIGHT

Texas Southern University has made 
progress in alleviating its ongoing 
administrative and financial problems, 
but some areas still need improvement, 
according to a progress report released 
by the Texas Comptroller's Office Tues­
day.

TSU's financial problems began in 
1997, when an audit by the Department 
of Education showed that the universi­
ty owed $10.5 million in penalties for 
improper financial aid distribution 
from 1993 to 19%. The penalties were 
issued because TSU took longer than 30 
days to provide financial aid monies to 
students.

The Texas Comptroller's Office 
reported that TSU has remedied their 
financial aid system along with other 
problem areas.

In February 1999, the Texas School 
Performance Review studied TSU's 
operations and made a series of recom­
mendations to save the university more 
than $14.8 million over the next five 
years while reinvesting $10.6 million to 
improve educational services and other 
operations.

Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton 
Rylander said Tuesday that TSU has 
implemented 107 out of the 124 recom­
mendations, which has saved the uni­
versity more than $465,000. TSU offi­
cials expect those savings to increase in 
the future.

"I commend TSU for the improve­
ments they have made," Rylander said. 
"The first steps will ensure that stu­
dents, faculty and taxpayers receive the 
maximum possible benefit from every 
dollar spent on TSU. The improve­
ments will provide the framework for 
TSU's future viability and independ­
ence."

Several s tu d e n ts said they found 
stu d y in g in a different c o u n try

"I w as like a celebrity," he said. "I

P e terso n said S o uth A m e ric a n s' 
ideas of people from the U nited 
States resu lted in her being treated 
differently.

"There w ere lots of A m erican 
stereotypes," Peterson said. "Like 
that A m ericans are d r u n k all the 
time, or the w o m e n are easy, or 
th at all A m e r ic a n s are 
really 
wealthy. Then they charge y o u full

Wahl said his e xposure to J a p a n ­

A m erica in the end.

"Because I w as raised in Saudi 
Arabia, I n e v e r felt very A m erican 
and d i d n 't have a lot of p a trio t­
ism," he said. "But living in Japan 
for a year m a d e me a lot more 
patriotic."

Irvin said she is a com pletely 

different p erso n now.

"I h a v e a slightly less biased 
idea of w h a t is going on in the 
w orld and A m erica's place w ith in 
it," she said. 
"I've learn ed that

A ccording to Wahl, the tra n si­

stu d y in g abroad pre se n te d a chal­

"It's kind of hard because the 
Ja p a n e se sy ste m is so differen t 
from here," Wahl said of his ow n 
a djustm ent. "They d o n 't talk as 
much, and I'm used to just sitting

in class a n d not saying a n ything."

Irvin said she is no t ready to 
c o m p le te ly assim ila te back into 
A m erican life; she is w o rrie d that 
she will forget abou t the exp eri­
ences she 's had.

"P art of me is w o rrie d that m ost

n erv o u s that my w o rld will consist 
of just the States, an d even that in 
itself is h a rd to fight."
For Peterson, stu d y in g a broad has 
resulted in re n e w e d excitem ent for 
school.

"I'm m u ch m ore interested in 
m y classes here and ge tting m ore 
involved in stu d e n t life," Peterson 
said. "I came back as such a differ­

Irvin said the ex perience had 
such an im pact on h e r that she 
plans to go a broad again after she 
g ra d u a te s next sum m er.

"It will be difficult being aw ay

Vermeil decides to retire on top

Rams coach steps down after Super Bowl win vindicates comeback

my guys."

ST. LOUIS — Dick Vermeil is going out on 

top.

O n Tuesday, tw o days after w inning his first 
Super Bowl and after a talk w ith his wife, the 
63-year-old coach of the St. Louis Ram s 
announced his retirem ent. His eyes filled w ith 
tears and his voice choked w ith em otion, Ver­
meil said it w as "an unbelievable feeling" to 
leave as a champion.

"I think the tim e is right," he said, the Super 
Bowl trophy sitting on a table to his right and 
a blue w heelbarrow sym bolizing his w ork 
ethic to the left. "Very few people in this pro­
fession get this opportunity."

Vermeil m ade a quick decision because he 
d id n 't w ant to be involved w ith the free 
agency period that starts Feb. 11. He leaves 
w ith tw o years to go on a five-year, $9 m illion 
contract.

"I d o n 't w ant to participate in that," Vermeil 
said. "I d o n 't w ant to cut the squad. These are

O w ner Georgia Frontiere tried to talk Ver­
meil out of it, team president John Shaw said 
he should at least w ait to m ake sure and spe­
cial team s coach Frank Gansz m ade an im pas­
sioned plea. Rams players just w anted the best 
for the coach w ho m ade it a point to get to 
know all of them .

"I feel indebted to coach Vermeil," said line­
backer London Fletcher, who also urged Ver­
meil to stick around. "He gave me an oppor­
tunity that m aybe nobody else w ould have, 
and I'm very grateful."

Linebacker M ike Jones, w ho m ade the 
gam e-saving tackle on Tennessee's K evin 
D yson, said 
that Vermeil 
looking back, 
dropped a few clues on the flight back from 
Atlanta, but "I never p u t it together."

"It's a great legacy," Jones said, "going from 

w orst to first."

San Francisco general m anager Bill Walsh, a 
longtim e friend of Vermeil, agreed w ith the

coach that the time w as right.

"At this stage of his life, he's accomplished 
everything," Walsh said. "N ow it's tim e for 
him to thoroughly enjoy the rew ards of w hat 
he's accom plished."

This exit w as a lot different than the first 
time he w alked away from NFL coaching, 
com plaining of bu rn o u t w hen he left the 
Philadelphia Eagles in 1982.

The decision elevates offensive coordinator 
Mike M artz to coach. The Rams signed M artz, 
w ho directed the NFL's top-rated offense (33 
points a game) to a two-year contract in Janu­
ary that assured he w ould inherit Vermeil's 
job.

"I told everyone before the season that Mike 
M artz w as the type of coach w ho w ould go 
after it — from the first game to the last," said 
Isaac Bruce, w ho caught the w inning touch­
dow n pass in the Super Bowl.

said Tuesday.

The Baltimore Ravens linebacker, 
his hands shackled in front of him, 
appeared in court on two counts of 
m urder for the slayings early M on­
day. No bail was set, and he will 
rem ain jailed until a Feb. 24 prelim i­
nary hearing.

The m u rd er charges carry life in 
prison or the death penalty, if prose­
cutors pursue it.

Lewis is the second NFL player in 
less than a m onth accused of m ur­
der. Form er C arolina P an thers 
receiver Rae C arruth w as charged 
w ith m urdering his girlfriend, w ho 
was pregnant at the time, in a drive- 
by shooting.

NFL com m issioner Paul Tagliabue 
had no com m ent, b ut Gene Wash­
ington, the NFL's chief disciplinari­
an, called Lewis' arrest "devastat­
ing."

"W e've h ad a tough year as it goes

anyw ay with the Rae C arruth situa­
tion," he told the One-on-One sports 
radio netw ork in Chicago. "We cer­
tainly, for his own good, hope that 
it's not true, and for the good of the 
NFL."

The Ravens said they have not 
taken any action against Lewis and 
have not spoken w ith the 24-year- 
old player.

Asked if the team w as considering 
releasing Lewis, Ravens spokesm an 
Kevin Byrne said, "Until due process 
of the law is com pleted that will not 
be addressed."

Several of Lewis' team m ates react­

ed w ith disbelief at his arrest.

"T hat's my m an," Ravens corner- 
back Rod W oodson, w hose locker is 
next to Lewis', said from the Pro 
Bowl in Hawaii. "I hope it ain't true. 
T hat's all I can say."

The victims were stabbed repeat­

Texas Terminators’ 
season in jeopardy

Texas and football. Those tw o 

w ords go hand in hand.

From Friday night high school 
football to Longhorns' football to the 
D allas Cowboys, Texans w atch grid­
iron action faithfully. And during the 
offseason m onths of April through 
A ugust, Texans have had the chance 
to see the Texas Term inators, an 
Indoor Professional Football League 
team, play.

However, they m ay not have this 

year-round pleasure anymore.

Officials from the IPFL recently 
said that A ustin m ay not see any 
action from the Terminators in the 
2000 season.

"We are not sure w hether Austin 
will have a team this year," Landon 
Thomas, director of com m unications 
for the IPFL, said. "It's also not 
know n right now w hether Texas will 
have a team at all."

Thomas said the Term inators have 
been unable to find a facility to meet 
the league's specifications. The team 
used the Travis County Exposition 
C enter last year, but Thom as said the 
building's air conditioning system 
could not sufficiently cool the arena 
— especially during the hot sum m er 
m onths of June, July and August,

w hen the league is in session.

The league is currently searching 
for other arenas to host the Termina­
tors; however, Thom as said the IPFL 
does not know if som ething will 
come through in time.

"If the team d oesn't come through 
w ith a lease, they will likely sit out 
this season and try to ham m er out a 
lease for next year," Thom as said.

Texas' problem s come as a su r­
prise, considering the grow th of the 
league since its inception in 1997. 
Teams in P ortland, Ore., Om aha, 
Neb., and Shreveport, La., will join 
the IPFL this season.

"[The IPFL] had an outstanding 
season last year," Thom as said. "We 
are grow ing by leaps and bounds, 
and w e hope to continue to do so."

The Term inators perform ed well 
in their inaugural season in the IPFL, 
going 12-4 and reaching the cham pi­
onship gam e in A ustin, w here they 
lost to the H aw aii H am m erheads, 
28-13. Publicity for the team has cen­
tered arou nd its roster of former 
Longhorn stars, including quarter­
back Jam es Brown and running back 
Butch H adnot.

Form er Texas tw in receivers Kerr)7 
and Keith Cash serve as assistant 
general m anagers for the team.

Cowboys hire coordinators

Associated Press

IRVING, Texas — The D allas 
C ow boys are junking the offense 
they've used the last tw o years and 
are returning to the one they used to 
w in three Super Bowls in the 1990s. 
A nd they're bringing back a form er 
assistant to run it.

Jack Reilly, w hose 20 years w ith 
the system includes tutoring quar­
terback Troy A ikm an in 1997, w as 
hired Tuesday as offensive coordina­
tor. H e takes over play-calling duties 
from C han Gailey, w h ose failed 
schem es cost him his dual roles as 
coach and offensive coordinator.

Dallas also prom oted secondary 
coach Mike Z im m er to defensive

coordinator, filling the vacancy cre­
ated last week w hen Dave Cam po 
becam e coach. Unlike the radical 
change on offense, that m ove was 
m ade to ensure stability.

Reilly an d Z im m er w ere easy 
choices for C am po and C ow boys 
ow ner Jerry Jones. They d id n 't even 
interview anyone else.

Reilly w as a good fit because of his 
background w ith the tim ing-based 
offense N orv Turner and Ernie Z ám ­
pese u se d in Dallas from 1990-97 and 
because he w as fondly rem em bered 
from the season he spent w ith the 
Cowboys.

"H e has probably the best respect 
that you could have from Troy Aik-

m an," C am po said.

Zim m er w as even more of a shoo- 
in because of his close relationship 
w ith C am po. T hey've w orked 
together the last five years in Dallas 
and tw o m ore at Weber State in the 
early 1980s.

"H e's been my right-hand man all 
along," C am po said. "There was no 
doubt in my m ind w ho the coordina­
tor w ould be if I ever had this o p por­
tunity."

Jones adm its he m ade a mistake 
by going aw ay from the Tum er- 
Z am pese system tw o years ago. 
However, the feeling then w as that it

w hat was easily their most lopsided 
loss of the season. Previously, the 
Lakers' worst loss was by 16 points 
against H ouston in the seventh 
game of the season.

"We have to figure out what we're 
doing wrong and correct it," Kobe 
Bryant said. "We're down because 
we've lost a couple games in a row 
here."

The Lakers tumbled out of first 
place in the Pacific Division — a spot 
they held since Dec. 14 — when the 
Portland Trail Blazers beat visiting 
Chicago 92-81 on Tuesday night.

For San Antonio, 

the victory 
avenged a loss to the Lakers on 
Christmas Day. The Spurs shot 52 
percent to improve to 11-0 when 
making at least half their shots and 
14-1 when scoring at least 100 points.
Shaquille O'Neal, who was in foul 
trouble much of the night, scored 31 
to lead the Lakers.

Los Angeles allowed an opponent 
to shoot 50 percent for only the sec­
ond time this season.

"We have to get back to the basics 
to get back on track. We will,"

Cowboys

Continued from page 9

O'Neal said. "We're not playing 
well, not hitting shots, not playing 
good defense. We just have to look in 
the mirror at our individual selves 
and pick it up.

"Whenever we don't play smart, 

this is the outcome."

Duncan had 18 points and 10 
rebounds in the first half, which 
ended with the Spurs ahead 55-45 
after they closed the half with a 14-7 
run. O'Neal finished the half with 
three fouls, but shot 7-for-8 from the 
field and scored 17 points.

Mario Elie hit a three-pointer, and 
Robinson followed with a jumper 
early in the third quarter to put San 
Antonio ahead 62-48.

O'Neal picked up his fourth foul 
with 4:18 left in the third quarter, 
prom pting coach Phil Jackson to 
turn away from the ensuing play so 
he could berate the officials, and 
Duncan followed with a bank shot to 
up the lead to 71-56.

A three-pointer by Jaren Jackson, a 
jump hook by Duncan, a wide-open 
jumper by Johnson and two foul 
shots by Elie constituted a 9-0 run

had become stale and predictable 
and that Dallas needed something 
fresh and exciting.

Aikman and others never adapted 
to Gailey's playbook, and offensive 
problems were behind Dallas' first- 
round playoff exits the last two 
years. Reilly's playbook is back in 
vogue because St. Louis used a simi­
lar version to win the Super Bowl. 

"In the Super Bowl years here,

they were very effective at throwing 
the ball in the early part of the game. 
We've got to be able to make hits like 
that and score points that way, and 
to mix in the run to complement 
that," Reilly said.

Reilly's only season in Dallas 
ended with Jones' decision to go in a 
different direction.

Reilly called that year's problems 

"bumps in the road."

Reilly was an offensive coordina­
tor once before, from 1995-96 with 
St. Louis. Isaac Bruce had his break­
out seasons under Reilly's guidance.
He spent the last two seasons as 
quarterbacks coach in New England, 
where Zámpese was offensive coor­
dinator.

The two may be reunited again in 
Dallas with Zámpese joining the 
staff as a consultant.

Terminators

Continued from page 9

Mark Stephans, a Terminators sea­
son-ticket holder, said the possible 
loss of the team frustrates him, espe­
cially after the standout year the 
team enjoyed in 1999.

"This is quite a disappointment 
because 
it was very exciting," 
Stephans said. "I am a big football 
fan, so it was a great thing to watch 
during the off season. It was fun get­
ting to root for old Texas players and 
just seeing some good, hard-hitting 
football."

Stephans said he spent about 
$1,500 last season for season tickets, 
championship tickets and Termina­

tors souvenirs. He has been trying to 
reach the Texas Terminators offices 
to renew his season tickets, but he 
said team officials have not respond­
ed to his num erous phone calls, 
faxes and e-mails.

"They were 100 percent, complete­
ly inaccessible," he said. "That was 
not a good way to do business, espe­
cially for a league that is trying to get 
their name out."

Terminators officials were unavail­

able for comment.

But despite all 

the problems, 
Stephans said he hopes the Termina­
tors will be able to take the field and

treat fans to more of their exciting 
style of play.

"[The conditions inside the Expo 
Center were] definitely hot and 
annoying," Stephans said. "But I 
would rather have a team.

"It was nice to have a champi­
onship 
team in Austin. Nobody 
went to the games to sit and be 
social. Everyone was there to yell 
and scream. Everyone was there to 
have fun and enjoy themselves."

Thomas said a decision on the Ter­
minators' future should come by the 
end of this week.

that their pitchers got strikes by 
throwing out of the strike zone. We 
were over-aggressive on offense, and 
I think that we struck ourselves out."
UT-Arlington got the anxious Long­
horn batters to whiff nine times in the 
game. Mike Hurd, who came into the 
game in the fourth to replace starter 
Whoa Dill, struck out six of those hit­
ters in four innings of work to get his 
first win of the season.

"We have to give credit to UT- 
Arlington, but we were definitely 
over-anxious out there," said Texas 
first basemen Jeff Ontiveros, who 
struck out twice in four at-bats on 
Tuesday. "I think everybody was just 
very excited about this being the first 
game, and we just wanted to step up 
in that batter's box and get that first 
hit out of the way. But unfortunately, 
it didn't work out for us."

Texas (0-1) left six runners on base 
in the first three innings and didn't 
get a run across the plate until the 
fourth inning.

Cory Covert scored that lone run 
on a Tommy Nicholson sacrifice fly, 
which cut the lead to 2-1. But the 
Horns wouldn't get any closer to the 
Mavericks, as UT-Arlington added a 
run in the next inning to make it a 3- 
1 ball game.

That run, which was unearned, 
was scored on a Kelly Crosby double 
that brought home Matt Anderson. 
Anderson had reached base on a 
throwing error by Covert.

"We fell two runs behind, and it 
was just like we couldn't get a big 
hit," Nicholson said. "We needed a 
big hit to just open up things, but we 
never got it."

At least the big hits didn't come 

with runners on base.

Designated hitter Chris Houser 
ripped a double to lead off the sec­
ond inning, but after that big hit, the 
Texas bats went silent, as Houser 
didn't even get to touch third.

"I thought that was going to get us 
going," said Houser of his double. 
"But things needed to happen after 
that and they never did."

Covert flied out to short, and then 
after a Carmichael walk, shortstop 
Todd West popped out to right. 
Nicholson then came up with the 
final out of the inning with a ground 
out to second.

Houser did try to get some things 
going again at the plate for the Horns 
in the sixth, but his line drive shot to 
center was run down by the Mavs' 
Daniel Ortmeier.

"I thought I had a double for sure 
on that one," said Houser of Ort- 
meier's diving grab. "But that guy 
just made a big-league play."

The Maverick defense came up 
with another great fielding play in 
the ninth, when third basemen Levi 
Ness made a back-hand stop to rob 
pinch-hitter Ben Emond of a hit. 
The next two H orns were then 
quickly retired by Mavericks pitch­
er Jared Ferrans, who earned a save 
for his two innings on the mound, 
to put away the gam e for UT-

Arlington (1-0).

"Jones pitched a great game for us, 
and we couldn't get points on the 
board for him," Ontiveros said. "His 
responsibility is to keep them from 
scoring, and our responsibility is to 
score. We didn't get the job done for 
him."

Jones struck out eight and walked 
none in his first outing of the season, 
but all he remembers is the one 
two Mavericks 
inning 
crossed home plate. It's the one 
inning that he wishes he could have 
back,

in which 

"We lost the game," Jones said. "It 
really doesn't matter how well I did 
because I didn't get the win. I didn't 
get it done in that one inning."

Martz would postpone surgery and 
hold a news conference Wednesday 
morning.

Vermeil coached two Super Bowl 
teams 19 years apart. He led the 
Eagles to the Super Bowl in 1981, 
and that 27-10 loss fueled his return 
to the profession in 1997.

Vermeil led the Rams to a 13-3 
record this year after winning only 
nine games his first two years. Fol­
lowing last year's 4-12 mark, there 
was talk that he could be fired.

The players weren't happy, either. 
Most of it was only grumbling because 
of extremely hard practices that often 
left the players exhausted before they 
stepped on the field on Sundays.

Four prominent players, including 
comerback Todd Lyght, boycotted 
the final team meeting of the 1998 
season. That sent a message to the 
coach, who described it at the time

as a "shot in the back."

Vermeil, however, weathered the 
problems and led the team to an 
incredible turnaround.

In his first stint as an NFL coach 
with the Eagles from 1976-82, Ver­
meil called the plays and ran the 
whole show with an iron fist. When 
he returned, he became a benevolent 
overseer.
As

fought back tears throughout the 
news conference. Sometimes, he lost 
the battle and choked up, especially 
when he talked about his players 
and the Rams organization.

"I don't have the ability to verbal­
ize how I feel," he said. "I'm so 
appreciative of what my coaching 
staff has done. And these players. 
Geez. These guys are unbelievable."
During the Super Bowl buildup, 
Vermeil hedged on his future. On 
one hand, he liked coaching. On the 
other hand, Carol Vermeil, his wife 
of 44 years, told him, "What else do 
you have to prove?"

Vermeil said his wife ¿wrought up 
the possibility of retirement after the 
Rams beat the Minnesota Vikings in 
the playoffs. They talked about it 
again following the parade through 
downtown St. Louis on Monday, the 
day after the Rams' 23-16 victory.

Finally, 

the couple discussed 
retirement again, briefly, Tuesday 
morning. Vermeil said, however, it 
was strictly his decision.

"I love these guys, too," Carol Ver­
meil said. "After my own boys, I call 
them my boys. But there's a time for 
everything."

Vermeil said he'll pursue a job in 
television again. During his 15-year 
hiatus from coaching, Vermeil was a 
college football analyst. He also 
plans to spend time at his Philadel- 
phia-area ranch with his wife.

grandchildren live nearby.

two men who were involved are, so 
they arrested Ray," Richardson said.
Police spokeswoman Marion Lee 
w ould not com m ent on whether 
other suspects were being sought or 
why m urder charges were filed.

Lewis was questioned Monday 
and postponed a flight to Hawaii, 
where he was to have appeared Sun­
day in his third straight Pro Bowl 
after leading the NFL in tackles this 
season.

"I cooperated fully," Lewis told 
The (Baltimore) Sun before his arrest. 
He w ouldn't comment further.

Richardson said he had spent only 
a few minutes with Lewis before the 
hearing.

"Ray is doing fine," he said. "He 
believes the system will ultimately 
show that he is innocent of these 
heinous crimes."

Lewis also faces second-degree 
assault charges from a Nov. 30 con­
frontation at a Baltimore-area bar in 
which he allegedly hit a woman. But 
authorities said Tuesday the case 
will not go to trial if the charge can­
not be substantiated.

 Chechen fighters escape Russian blockade

T h e D a ily T e x a n Wednesday, February 2,2000 Page 13

— 

Associated Press 

ALKHAN-YUKT, Russia — Several 
hundred Chechen fighters have aban­
doned positions in their embattled cap­
ital of Grozny and escaped despite a 
Russian blockade. As they fled, two 
senior rebel commanders along with 
scores of their fighters stumbled into a 
minefield and were killed.

About 2,000 Chechen fighters broke 
out and tried Tuesday to head south to 
join up with fellow rebels, battling fed­
eral forces who were attempting to pre­
vent their escape with tanks and 
artillery. Russian reports estimated 
there were about 3,000 rebel fighters in 
Grozny last week.

Other rebels stayed in the battered 
Chechen capital to keep up the fierce 
resistance they have mounted against 
months of air and artillery attacks and a 
five-week Russian push to take the city 
center.

There was no sign that any of the esti­
mated 15,000-40,000 civilians trapped 
in Grozny had left with the rebels.

At least two prominent rebel com­
manders remained in Grozny with 
their forces, rebels said. It was unclear 
how many rebels remained under their 
command.

A large group of rebels got caught in 
a minefield on the outskirts of Grozny 
on Monday, and several prominent 
Chechen commanders were killed or 
badly wounded, witnesses said. Russ­
ian artillery then opened fire on the 
field, killing and wounding scores more

fighters, they 
fighters, they said.

said. 

Notorious Chechen field command­
er Shamil Basayev reportedly had his 
leg tom off when his car was blown up 
by a mine as he escaped Grozny; his 
whereabouts were unknown.

Among the Chechen commanders 
reportedly killed were Aslanbek 
Ismailov, who had headed Grozny's 
defenses, Khunkar-Pasha Israpilov and 
Grozny Mayor Lecha Dudayev.

Russian commanders denied that the 
rebels escaped; a main goal of the Russ­
ian offensive had been to wipe out the 
fighters in Grozny. The rebels who left 
Grozny are expected to join thousands 
of comrades in the south to go on fight- 
ing.

The ITAR-Tass news agency said 
Russian troops clashed with rebels 
Tuesday in die Argun and Vedeno 
gorges, which lead through the moun­
tains. The Interfax news agency cited a 
rebel spokesman as saying fighting 
continued in Grozny on Tuesday 
evening.

Russian Defense Minister 

Igor 
Sergeyev insisted Tuesday that federal 
forces were successfully blocking rebels 
trying to flee Grozny.

“Nobody will ever allow the rebels to 
leave the dty other than under a white 
their 
flag and after laying down 
weapons," he said.

The rebels did not announce that 
they had given up the fight for the cap­
ital. Their strategy in Grozny was to 
inflict as many losses as possible on the 
Russians while avoiding heavy casual­

^

ties that would harm their ability to 
continue the war.

In die last Chechen war, the rebels 
lost Grozny in 1995, but kept fighting 
until they retook the dty in 19%.

The fighters' exodus began Monday 
as groups of rebels broke out of the 
western edge of the dty along a railway 
line. The rebels continued to flee 
overnight, rebel commanders and resi­
dents of nearby villages said.

Russian commanders insisted they 
had defeated rebel attempts to break 
out of Grozny..A Russian military 
spokesman confirmed some rebels had 
been caught in a minefield as they 
attempted to reach Alkhan-Kala, a vil­
lage on the capital's western outskirts.

"One of these groups hit the mine­
field, the other was destroyed by our 
units' artillery fire," said Col. Alexander 
Veklich.

Several dozen of the wounded 
Chechens who made it to Alkhan-Kala 
lay on the snow around the village's 
small clinic because there was no room 
for them inside, residents said.

"Wounded fighters lie almost in piles 
inside the hospital, and we had to put 
dozens more on the snow outside," 
said Baiant Munayeva, who helped 
care for the injured.

"There is just one doctor and no 
medicines, no syringes, no nothing," 
said Munayeva, visibly shaken and 
pale. "Dozens have had their legs tom 
away, and they lie there covered with 
blood."

A fighter who attended the meeting 
said there was no talk of taking a stand 
against Russian forces in Alkhan-Kala.

Russian forces surrounded and shelled 
the village on Tuesday, and skirmishes 
erupted between the federal troops and 
Chechen fighters on the outskirts.

The Russians have been fighting 
since October to seize Grozny. On Mon­

their forces had taken a strategic square

VIENNA, Austria — Outspoken 
populist Joerg Haider negotiated a deal 
Tuesday to allow his far-right party to 
share power in Austria's government 
— despite warnings from the United 
States and the European Union that 
such a move could lead to Austria's 
diplomatic isolation.

Haider, leader of the rightist Free­
dom Party, and Foreign Minister Wolf­
gang Schuessel reached the agreement 
late Tuesday on a proposed coalition 
government between Haider's Free­
dom Party and the conservative Peo­
ple's Party.

The deal can still be rejected by Pres­
ident Thomas Klestil, who could call 
new elections or propose other alterna­
tives. But it is unlikely that he will do 
so, even though he fears the foreign 
backlash that would result from the 
Freedom Party's inclusion in the gov­
ernment.

Earlier, while talks were still under 
way, 
the Clinton administration 
warned that the United States would

carefully examine its relations with 
Austria if Haider's party moved into a 
leadership position.

State Department spokesman James 
Foley said the United States is "contin­
uing to keep the situation under 
review" and added that Secretary of 
State Madeleine Albright had called 
Schuessel on Tuesday. He offered no 
details.

Suspicion of Haider's party stems in 
part from his past hostility to the EU, 
his opposition to immigration and 
remarks sympathetic to aspects of 
Adolf Hitler's regime. The EU's 14 
other members have threatened to iso­
late Austria politically if Haider's party 
gains power.

Haider gained international notori­
ety about 10 years ago by praising 
Hitler's "orderly" employment policies 
and lauding veterans of die murderous 
Waffen SS as "men of honor." He has 
Since apologized for those comments.

Haider has also spoken out against 
EU expansion, saying it would threat­
en jobs in Austna. Haider has predicted 
the new government would
that 

impose a nearly complete ban on 
immigration.

In Brussels, the European Commis­
sion, the European Union's executive 
branch, said it would continue a 
“working relation" with the new gov­
ernment as long as it abides by the EU 
treaty.

But individual EU countries, includ­
ing Britain, Germany and France, have 
warned that they would reduce ties to 
any government coalition with Free­
dom Party participation.

"Europe has certain criteria and val­
ues that unite it," Italy's left-wing 
prime minister, Massimo D'Alema, 
told Italian radio Tuesday. "If these are 
thrown into question, Europe has a 
right to speak its mind."

The EU action was a shock to this 
small alpine country of 7.8 million peo­
ple, which is only now recovering from 
the diplomatic isolation brought about 
when former U.N. Secretary-General 
Kurt Waldheim was elected president 
in 1986 after trying to conceal his role as 
an intelligence officer in the Nazi army.
In Israel, 30 lawmakers signed a peti­

tion Tuesday asking Austria's presi­
dent to keep Haider out of the govern­
ment. The petition, which was to be 
presented to the Austrian ambassador 
to Israel on Wednesday, said Haider's 
party “recalls the dark days of persecu­
tion against minorities" and that "the 
rule of the Nazi regime also began with 
democratic elections."

In an effort to contain the diplomatic 
damage, Klestil met separately Tues­
day with Schuessel and caretaker 
Chancellor Viktor Klima. Klestil asked 
the other EU member countries to 
“continue to treat Austria as an equal 
partner in the international community 
of states."

Schuessel said the EU threat without 
prior consultations was "not fair and 
not in concord with the spirit of the 
European treaties."

Nevertheless, the EU action stunned 
the political establishment. Austria has 
been without a stable government 
since inconclusive parliamentary elec­
tions Oct. 3 propelled Haider's party 
into second place ahead of the People's 
Party.

Austrian caretaker Chancellor Viktor Klima speaks during a press conference at 
the federal chancellery in Vienna on Tuesday. Austrian President Thomas Klestil 
met with Klima and Foreign Minister Wolfgang Schuessel Tuesday to discuss a 
deal to allow a far-right party to share power in Austria's government.

Oral sex may be more dangerous than previously thought

Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Oral sex, 
long regarded by many gay men as a 
low-risk practice, is now thought to 
be a surprisingly frequent way of 
spreading AIDS.

A study released Tuesday found 
that oral sex was probably the cause 
of 8 percent of recent HIV infections 
among a group of homosexual men 
examined in San Francisco.

In the past, there have been occa­
sional reports of people apparently 
catching HIV orally. But health inves­
tigators have had difficulty being

certain, since gay men who have oral 
sex also may engage in other, riskier 
sex practices, such as anal inter­
course.

Now diagnostic tests allow doctors 
to narrow down the timing of HIV 
infections. These tests were used in 
the latest study, described as the 
most accurate on the subject to date.

The work was conducted by the 
Centers for Disease Control and Pre­
vention and the University of Cali­
fornia at San Francisco, and was pre­
sented in San Francisco at a scientific 
conference.

"W hile oral sex may still be safer 
than anal 
intercourse or vaginal 
intercourse, it is not without risk, and 
perhaps has higher risk than we 
would have expected otherw ise," 
said Dr. Helene Gayle, the CDC's 
AIDS chief.

The researchers sought to learn the 
means of infection in 102 gay and 
bisexual men who had recently 
caught HIV. When all other possible 
means of infection were ruled out, 
oral sex turned out to be the only risk 
behavior in eight of these men. Most 
of them said they thought oral sex

had little or no risk.

Because of the strict criteria used, 
the real number of cases resulting 
from oral sex may actually have been 
higher. For instance, two men said 
they had oral sex but not anal sex. 
But they also said they had blacked 
out once and could not be sure what 
had happened, so they wrere exclud­
ed from the total.

All of the men apparently caught 
the vims by giving oral sex, rather 
than receiving it, and none used con­
doms.

"We know that the only safe sex is

total abstinence or sex with a mutu­
ally monogamous, non-HIV-infected 
partner," Gayle said. "Everything 
else has some degree of risk. The 
sense that oral sex is safe sex may 
have been an unfortunate message."

Gayle said she assumes that the risk 
of oral sex when properly using a con­
dom is close to zero. She also said that 
if oral sex alone has played a large role 
in the spread of AIDS, that would 
already have become obvious during 
the 20 years of the epidemic.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the 
National Institute of Allergy and

Infectious Diseases, noted that some 
gay men turned to frequent unpro­
tected oral sex after giving up anal 
intercourse.

"A lot of us in the public health 
field have been saying all along to be 
careful of unprotected fellatio," he 
said. "People think the risk is low, 
but w hat's low?"

Dr. Frederick M. Hecht of San Fran­
cisco General Hospital, a co-author of 
the study, said anal intercourse may be 
100 times riskier than oral sex. "The 
message is not that everyone will get 
infected through oral sex," he said.

Clip after clip in It’s Black Entertain­
ment reminds us of the joyful depth of 
black contributions to movies, music 
and dance, but the celebration is bitter­
sweet.

Whether the focus is on Billie Holli­
day, FAessie Smith, Nat King Cole or any 
other of the artists featured in the 
Showtime documentary, the pernicious 
effect of racism on lives and careers 
looms unmistakably.

Lena Home was boxed into stand­
alone movie musical num bers that 
could be cut for Southern screenings. 
Dorothy Dandridge found an Acade­
my Award nomination meant nothing 
to a black actress' career and died 
young from a drug overdose.

Even the buoyant Little Richard can't 
resist railing against the white musi­
cians he says soared higher than he was 
allowed on the same melodies.

The film is one of a clutch of televi­
sion movies and documentaries mark­
ing Black History Month and reflecting 
a broad commitment to the theme — 
even if it's a hyperbolic one limited to 
one month. 

*

The same mixed feelings evoked by 
It's Black Entertainment accrue to this 
February bounty; so much to honor 
and enjoy, such scant serious attention 
otherwise paid to blacks and, even 
more so, other minorities.

(Besides Ricky Martin and Elian 
Gonzalez, good luck finding Hispanics 
on IV outside of Spanish-language sta­
tions.)

Here are some of the notable Black 
History Month shows, most of them on 
cable channels, with Showtime a 
leader. The broadcast networks, 
meanwhile, are focused on the giddy 
February sweeps.

Just another history lesson.

they understand the experience," said 
McCleary.

Jonathan Epstein, who has acted in 
Shakespeare's plays around the coun­
try, believes more children and adults 
will learn about themselves and human 
relations through Shakespeare in such 
workshops.

But he fears the mass appeal of tele­
vision and some new media, while 
broadening familiarity with the Bard, 
will tend to crowd out live performanc­
es. He says some festivals may founder 
without an Elizabethan stage or engag­
ing actors with magic to stir the dull ear 
of a drowsy man.

"We as actors have to think of ways 
to be much more dynamic — or it will 
die," he said of live Shakespeare.

At least Shakespearean actors have 
some better-than-average slings and 
arrows to w ork with.

Associated Press

In a Berkshire wood where day 
turned foul for Dick Clark, Barry 
Manilow and Bob Dylan, lovers of 
Shakespeare fancy building their own 
brave new world.

Shakespeare & Co. believes the 436- 
year-old playwright's work can win 
public favor where the backing of big 
names in the music industry could not. 
The theater troupe is buying an idyllic 
63-acre site from the National Music 
Foundation, which boasted Clark and 
others as backers but failed to erect a 
museum and performing center for all 
styles of American music.

In a swamp of soaps, sitcoms and 
other stale plot lines, the Bard still tells 
"the best stories in our current millenni­
um," says Dan McCleary, marketing 
director of Shakespeare & Co.

In addition, the theater company's 
leaders say that unlike the music group, 
they have built a broad base of contrib­
utors and grants since their founding 21 
years ago at The Mount, where writer 
Edith Wharton lived. Their main goals 
and prime subject — Shakespeare — 
are also more easily grasped than the 
music foundation's nebulous aim of a 
shrine to American music, complete 
with retirement housing for musicians. 
Who beats Shakespeare, after all, for 
name recognition?

Elsewhere, too, Shakespeare has 
hardly seen so fair a day an ocean aw a y . 
from his homeland, according to those 
w ho perform, promote and sell his 
work. A clutch of popular movies and 
videos, more teaching projects, and 
even the Internet are demystifying 
Shakespeare, who has been associated 
by so many Americans with iambic 
pentameter, annotations, spit balls and 
boredom.

"It's really burst upon the scene with 
a new vitality," said Adriana Mnuchin, 
co-founder of the New York-based 
Shakespeare Society.

Her group, which promotes Shake­
speare's works to the American public, 
is a case in point: In two years since its 
founding, it has swelled to more than 
450 members.

But Shakespeare's name has perhaps 
never smelled sweeter to the film 
industry than in recent years. Moviego­
ers have watched Leonardo Di Caprio 
as an urban Romeo and have also seen 
Denzel Washington as a dashing Don 
Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing. 
Gwyneth Paltrow has been the focus of 
Shakespeare's longings in Shakespeare in 
Love. Michelle Pfeiffer played queen 
fairy Titania in Midsummer Night's 
Dream. Screen heavyweight A1 Pacino 
has wrestled with the essence of King 
Richard III in the documentary Looking 
for Richard.

Dollars were made. Shakespeare in 
Love collected seven Academy Awards 
and more than $94 million in North 
America. Much Ado About Nothing and 
several other Shakespeare films also 
charmed mass audiences, often with 
spirited use of the original language.

Shakespeare & Co. is banking on that 
appeal with its $9 million plan to rede­
velop its new site in the Berkshire 
County town of Lenox, which is also 
hom e to the Tanglewood classical 
music festival. The Shakespeare troupe 
— one of about 120 Shakespeare festi­
vals in N orth America — takes over its 
expansive new home in April, eventu­
ally performing live theater and train­
ing actors there. It will give its first per-

Avoid ‘Eye’ contact
There is no beauty in this ‘Beholder’

LISTEN TO THIS.

Matt Dentler
Daily Texan Staff

texanent@uts.cc.utexas.edu

Erin Steele
Daily Texan Staff

I'm always worried w hen a movie is 
marketed as a "surreal" thriller. Hav­
ing the irrationality of a dream is not 
the greatest selling point, especially 
when some dreams are so jumbled and 
incomprehensible that ifs far more 
appealing to just forget about them 
than to try to understand them.

Eye of the Beholder certainly lives up 
to its description; it's surreal all right, 
in a way that makes reality look all the 
more appealing.

Adapted from Marc Behm's 1980 
novel of the same name, this convolut­
ed mess stars Ewan McGregor as a 
techno-wizard British 
Intelligence 
agent known simply as "The Eye" for 
his impressive ability to sit around and 
watch people. While investigating the 
possible wrongdoings of his boss' son, 
The Eye falls in love at first sight with 
Joanna Eris (Ashley Judd), an Ameri­
can girl he spies naked and blood- 
soaked in the moonlight (mmm ... 
enchanting). Oh, did I mention the 
blood belongs to the boss's son whom 
The Eye watched Eris viciously m ur­
der? Apparently, serial killing isn't a 
very powerful turnoff to The Eye as he 
follows Eris — who emerges as a sort 
of female Jackal thanks to numerous 
pseudonyms and wig indulgences — 
around the United States with no 
intention of catching her. The Eye, at 
first, just likes to watch, but soon 
curiosity escalates into obsession as he 
tracks her every move, and begins to 
believe they are soul mates.

Here is where Eye of the Beholder 
encounters its main problem. This isn't 
a case of the good guy falling for the 
bad girl; this is a case of the creepy guy 
falling for the creepier girl. The audi­
ence is left with no one to root for, 
except a licensed stalker and a serial 
killer. It doesn't help that both are infi­
nitely uninteresting, not to mention 
completely amoral.

The movie tries to justify the charac­
ters actions with trite psychological 
background: Eris cries "Merry Christ­
mas, Daddy!" after she purées her vic­
tims, motivated by the fact that she 
was abandoned by her deadbeat dad 
on Christmas when she was nine. The 
Eye, on the other hand, suffers from 
reverse-abandonm ent issues, as he 
was left by his wife and daughter after 
they failed to consider his hermetic 
way of life a big barrel of fun (oh, the 
sacrifices of high-tech voyeurs). The 
Eye does not escape from psychologi­
cal repercussions; he talks to imaginary

Ewan McGregor falls in love with a creepy serial killer in Eye of the Beholder, a 
confusing, surreal detective story that makes stark reality seem desirable.

visions of his saccharine daughter, and 
buys the ghost-daughter snow globes 
from each of the dfies that he tracks 
Eris to (a Snowbud-esque symbol of 
happiness lost, I suppose). I couldn't 
help but wonder, however, how The 
Eye could track Eris to a tiny restaurant 
in Alaska, but have no idea how to find 
his (real) daughter.

Sound confusing? It is, and I haven't 
even mentioned the ominous mother- 
figure that molded Eris into a man-eat­
ing monster, the rich blind m an that 
she falls in love with, her encounter 
with a seemingly charming, but sadis­
tic stranger (hilariously played by 
Jason Priestley), or her obsession with 
numerology.

The indecipherable script, however, 
is not entirely to blame; horrible acting

plays a decisive role here, as does the 
fact that one would expect better direc­
tion from Stephan Elliot in his follow- 
up to The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen 
of the Desert. That campy hit had a real 
sense of timing and atmosphere, some­
thing that Eye of the Beholder noticeably 
lacks. Elliot gives his film all the depth 
of a car commercial — in fact, I won­
dered how many times 1 would have 
to watch The Eye's car glide along S 
curves. Equally as irritating were 
Elliot's cop-out transitions; he con­
veyed the fact that the characters had 
sw itched 
show ing an 
cities by 
enlarged version of each snow globe.

There are num erous problems with 
Eye of the Beholder, no doubt the reason 
that Destination Films (destination: 
straight-to-video?) decided to release it 
m January, a m onth in which studios 
love to dum p their worst films onto the 
moviegoing public — in w hat other 
month could this film have possibly 
been number one at the box office?

All that matters is that Eye of the 
Beholder just doesn't work. It's inadver­
tently comedic (I dare anyone to listen 
to that "Merry Christmas, Daddy!" 
line w ithout 
it's over­
wrought and it completely lacks sus­
pense. I guess you could say it's so bad, 
if s surreal.

laughing), 

Every once in a while, it's simply too 
hard to ignore the interesting news that 
erupts in today's music world. Texan 
music editor Matt Dentler takes a look 
and asks you to take a listen .. .

Something I am working on, dear 
readers, and will hopefully have 
more information about soon, is The 
Smashing Pumpkins. News came 
earlier in the week that the Pumpkins 
are embarking on a fairly extensive 
tour, hitting about 35 cities between 
now and mid-March For the most 
part, the band is doing in-stores, and 
the locations are unknown for the 
majority of the shows, which are pri­
marily a "secret" (hush hush). In fact, 
only five are confirmed, with the last 
one being Feb. 5 in Portland, Ore. 
Odds are, the band will hit Austin, or 
at least a city nearby, in those 30 
remaining shows. Will it be South by 
Southwest (which fits in the time­
line)? Waterloo Records? A source at 
their publicist's office told The Daily 
that new dates will be 
Texan 
announced within a few days. We'll 
keep you posted . . .

Speaking of in-stores, many were 
pleasantly surprised to see that Dido 
is on the marquee as an in-store per­
former Feb. 20 at Tower Records. The 
British siren will also play La Zona 
Rosa that night, promoting her excel­
lent solo debut, No Angel. . .

It seems like standard rock star 
fare: You're on tour in a foreign coun­
try, you have to break some laws. For 
Foo Fighter Dave Grohl, it involved 
driving under the influence in Aus­
tralia. But here's the catch: Grohl got 
his DUI while driving a moped. He 
was en route from a concert to the 
band's hotel when pulled over. After 
failing a breathalizer test, his Aussie 
license was suspended, keeping him 
from any further driving (of mopeds,

we assume) Down Under. W hen in 
Austin (on May 2, with Red Hot Chili 
Peppers), let's hope he sticks to cabs 
during the all-night party sure to fol­
low the show . . .

The Brit Nom inations were just 
announced and further cemented the 
fact that U.K. audiences have better 
musical taste than Americans. The 
Brits (the U.K. version of the Gram- 
mys) picked The Chemical Brothers 
and Travis with the most nomina­
tions. Nominees for best album: Liq­
uid Skin, Gomez; Performance and 
Cocktails, Stereophonies; Remedy, 
Basement Jaxx; Surrender, Chemical 
Brothers; The Man Who, Travis. Some 
of the 20 nominees for Best Newcom­
er are: U.N.K.L.E., Gay Dad and 
Groove Armada. There are also a few 
"international" 
awards, which 
include U.S. acts like Moby and Macy 
G ray . . .

Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott 
Weiland has just been released from

rehab in Pasadena, Calif. It appears 
that the band will soon begin initial 
steps toward a world tour to support 
the underselling fourth album, No. 4. 
O n the top of that list of future 
engagem ents stands 
the band's 
appearance at South by Southwest 
2000. No word yet on where and 
when the band will perform, but 
their addition to the fest's bill has 
raised anticipation. Other new addi­
tions to the annual music festival are 
Screaming Trees, Elliott Smith, Juras­
sic 5, Cypress Hill, John Paul Jones, 
Self and Gomez . . .

Corporate Entertainm ent Merger 
Tally For The Week: One. Last week, 
Time-Warner — after being bought 
by America Online — went on to 
merge with EMI, the corporation that 
is hom e 
to Virgin and Capitol 
Records. This of course means that 
we will see a suspicious number of 
recording artists popping up with the 
"You've Got Mail" man.

Thanks to your support, Leo is one 

step closer to safety. But he's still in 

danger. To spread awareness of 

Leo's plight, you must don the 
shirt from his new movie, The 
Beach. B ecau se of Leo's tragic 

circu m stan ces, su p p lies are 
limited, so visit the main desk of 
the Texan office before noon and 
utter the secret phrase: "Ecological 

catastrophe.'' Afterwards, wear the 

shirt every day until Leo is free.

Dear Diary type thingie: Episode One
Well I've decided to start up a diary thing. Something I can write down 
random thoughts into and well look at them later to see i f I actually did the 
idea. I seem to always have these "great" ideas, but since I never write 
them down I kinda forget about them in the raging river, or trickling stream, 
of life. I hate being kept awake all night long with wonderful ideas, but when 
I wake up in the morning they have drifted away. I know I've at least saved 
the world's problems once in these random gifts o f inspiration but somehow 
sleep stole them away. So this diary, word bank, idea saver, or pile of 
useless meandenngs is going to somehow save my sanity and keep my brain in 
some sort o f line. Anyway end of episode one, and I haven't even turned to 
the dark side yet...

L o s a io r n H o r o s c o pe s

BY NATALIE BuRGIN ■ hu us b u rg in 

th u u il. < i

A rie s (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Spirits are 
high and you will be given a new start if 
you just embrace them. There are a lot of 
new things coming your way that may 
throw you into confusion, but there is a 
big light at the end of the tunnel to bring 
you to your happiest point.

T a u r u s (Apr. 20-M ay 20): Old 
friends may surface to bring bad news. 
Double check what you hear, for there 
are a few elements missing in the story. 
Take the time to do things right today.

G e m in i (May 21-June 20): Being a 
fanatic may not give you the power to 
complete a task like you think it will. Try 
alternative and less stringent methods to 
find success.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): New rela­
tionship conflicts m ay have you feeling

confused, but if you make resolutions 
with your partner, you may be able to 
salvage a lasting friendship.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Awards aren't 
found on paper, but in you own soul. 
The award of com fort given to you 
because of good deeds can far outweigh 
the material goods.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don't have 
a me, me, m e" day. Try to be aware of 
others needs and be their guiding point.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don't look 
to finish things with speed, but with 
accuracy. If you rush today, you may put 
yourself further behind.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Falling 
off your pedestal may be just what you 
need to humble you. Try not to act as 
though you rule the world. Pretend you 
are normal.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): 
Explore the academic frontier. It may 
seem foreign to you, but grades cannot 
be forgotten. Parents can always put a 
stop to the party, so keep them happy.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Skin 
ailments may make you feel a bit uncom­
fortable today, but don't worry. A little 
cream will do a little trick. TYy to spend 
your quarantine time being productive.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Try to 
evaluate political decisions today. If 
there has been conflict in opinions 
between you and a friend, state your 
side and let the debates begin.

Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Help is 
just a door away. Try looking for a neigh­
bors aide with studies. They may know 
more about the class than you think.
