Grady is facing charges of mur­ der and aggra­ vated assault with a deadly weapon for the Oct. 5, 2002, beating death of Johnathan Flobeck, a for­ mer UT student. Joe Buglewlcz/ Daily Texan S taff Attorneys present opening statements in first day o f trial By Clay Reddick Daily Texan Staff Ryan Patrick Grady pleaded not guilty to two felony charges Monday in Travis County district court. Grady is accused of assaulting and killing another UT stu­ dent in an October 2002 altercation out­ side his apartment near Riverside Drive. Early on the morning of Oct. 5, 19- year-old Johnathan Flobeck and his friends were involved in a confronta­ tion with Grady and his roommate. The fight ended with Grady hitting Flobeck in the head with The Club, a metal anti­ theft steering wheel lock, and then run­ ning to call 911 as Flobeck lay dying. In its opening statements, the prose­ cution argued Grady and his friend started the fight that ended in Flobeck's death. Grady's attorney, in opening statements, told jurors the 22-year-old had been trying to diffuse the situation, when it got out of hand. Defense attorney Chris Gunter told jurors Flobeck's group initiated the con­ flict that night. He said after taunting the occupants of Grady's car, the group walked around the Melrose Apartments complex looking for Grady. "It shouldn't have been a big deal, but these guys in the street thought it was," Gunter said. Gunter said a group of about nine, led by Flobeck, taunted those in the car. Grady wanted to diffuse the situation because he thought Flobeck lived near­ by and would probably see him around his apartment in the future. Grady and roommate Jared Espree, an English senior, both probably drunk on Wild Turkey whiskey, brought weapons to the confrontation to protect them­ selves in case of a fight, Gunter said. Flobeck and his friends only wanted to fight, Gunter said. Grady hit Flobeck to save his roommate, who Flobeck was pushing to the ground. "That's all it was — panic," Gunter said.

UT Watch claims in a report released over the weekend that System officials drafted legislation and met with members in a wide campaign to deregulate tuition in the last regular session. The System, like other state agencies, is prohibit­ ed from spending money to influence legislation or using official authority for a political purpose. Tuition deregulation allowed governing boards at state colleges and universities to set tuition rates without legislative approval. After deregulation, UT-Austin tuition rose by $720. UT Watch and other student groups protested deregulation because of the potential for sharp increases. System spokesman Michael Warden said in a press release Monday that UT Watch's allegations "misrepresent activities of the UT System." The System's efforts on behalf of the tuition deregulation bill included more than 40 meetings and dinners with legislators during a five-month period, according to the report. Warden said these meetings were legal. "The UT System takes very seriously its respon­ sibility to provide legislators and the public with accurate and candid information, including, of course, our assessment of the impact of proposed legislation," Warden said.

"If you actually have a horse racing facility that makes money, they will have a bigger purse." By AJ. Bauer Daily Texan Staff Legalizing video lottery termi­ nals at horse racing tracks would cultivate the state's agriculture industry, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs said. Combs testified Monday Select the House before Committee on Public School Finance, which debated a pro­ posal to legalize and tax lottery machines to fund schools. The plan would funnel at least 38 percent of the machines' income into public education. Combs said the incorporation of video lottery terminals could create more than 30,000 new jobs in the horse industry alone, by enticing more customers to race tracks. More prize money for winning horses would expand the Texas horse industry, Combs said. But representatives of the 600- member Kickapoo tribe, which owns a casino in Eagle Pass, 130 miles southwest of San Antonio, said the proposal would put them out of business. Kickapoo spokeswoman Gloria Hernandez said the proposal would weaken the casino's appeal, because their clientele comes mainly from San Antonio. "If the same thing is offered closer to home, you have no rea­ son to travel the 130 miles on a road that is not very attractive," Hernandez said. H ernandez said the state should limit the number of ter­ minals allowed at racetracks. Opponents of the plan also claim it is an unstable source of funding. Committee member Rep. Dennis Bonnen, R- Angleton, said he does not want the public to think lottery termi­ nals are a cure for school funding problems. "I feel we make the mistake of telling our constituents that 'if you do lottery, it7s going to pay for education in this state,"' Bonnen said. "That's just not true." But Rep. Ron Wilson, D- Houston, who introduced the plan, said lottery revenue is only part of the solution. "This was never meant to be a panacea," Wilson said. "This is not going to be the sole source for education. It's going to help us pay for education." By Daniel K.

TURTLE WATCHING UNIVERSITY BRIEFS University receives honors from AISD program The University of Texas has been named the Education Partner of the Year for 2004. Austin Partners in Education recognized the University on April 21 for the “ impressive” partnership programs it has forged with Austin schools. “ Ever so quietly, a commit­ ted University community works tirelessly year after year in concert with us, striving to improve every facet of our school district,” said Superintendent Pat Forgione. The University has dozens of programs that help Austin schoolchildren. About 450 University student teachers grade papers, tutor, teach and work with the Austin Independent School District on a daily basis. Events such as Explore UT, the University’s annual open house, encourage young stu­ dents to come to the University by making them aware of higher education opportunities. The University also shares its technology resources. Project Utopia allows AISD teachers to use monthly lec­ tures, complete with PowerPoint presentation and lesson plans. “ It is not possible to acknowl­ edge and thank the countless key leaders at UT, who in addi­ tion to all of their duties, give countless hours to the Partners program,” Forgione said. — Kristi Hsu UT Mock Trial team wins weekend tournament The undergraduate Mock Trial team won the University’s Mock Trial Competition Tournament last weekend, defeating teams from Texas A&M University and Baylor University.

"You're going to see that the defendant took this Club and swung it like a baseball bat as hard as he could and struck [Flobeck] in the back of the head," Cobb said in his statement. "We'll see about self-defense." Cobb said he will introduce medical records and photo­ graphs showing the severity of Flobeck's injury.

STATE & LOCAL BRIEFS Citgo announces move south to Houston TULSA, Okia. — Citgo Petroleum Corp., aided by $35 million in financial incentives, will move its headquarters to Houston to be closer to its cus­ tomers and its assets, the com­ pany announced Monday. The move is another blow to Tulsa, which has lost more than 25,000 jobs in the last two years amid layoffs at major employers and a general eco­ nomic downturn. Luis Marin, Citgo’s president and chief executive, said strate­ gic and operational concerns outweighed the incentives from Texas officials in the decision to take about 700 jobs to the southeast Texas city. About 300 jobs in research, information technology, pipelines and accounting, will remain in Tulsa, where Citgo has been based since 1983. Experts urge cattle ranches to label, track livestock LUBBOCK — Agriculture experts are encouraging Texas cattle producers not to wait for a federal program to begin label­ ing and tracking livestock to improve production and assure the quality of beef Federal officials have been developing a standardized iden­ tification system for more than a year, an effort hastened by' the detection of mad cow dis­ ease in Washington state in December. Jason Cleere, a Texas Cooperative Extension beef cat­ tle specialist, said such a sys­ tem. will help producers keep accurate immunization records and chart which cows produce the best offspring. Livestock operators were expected to get ID numbers assigned to them this summer, but a lack of federal funding has delayed that.

Democrats said the tactic is a sign of desperation. “It's time for Dick Cheney to call off the Republican attack dogs," said Democratic National C om m ittee Terry McAuliffe. chairm an Cheney is the White House's designated attacker — held in reserve for the toughest times and sharpest messages. W hen the vice president goes negative, it usually means the White House is braced for trouble. This w eek is no exception: • President Bush and Cheney are scheduled to testify jointly Thursday before the Sept. 11 com­ mission investigating whether more could have been done to prevent the worst terrorist strikes on U.S. soil. • Saturday is the one-year anniversary of the speech Bush delivered aboard an aircraft carrier celebrating the fall of Baghdad. The address, given under a “Mission Accomplished" banner, has become fodder for Democrats who question the war and argue that it's far from over. • The Supreme Court will con­ sider Tuesday whether Cheney must release internal documents detailing the membership of a task force that met privately to help Bush develop an energy plan. WORLD BRIEFS Explosion levels Baghdad building, kills 2 soldiers BAGHDAD, Iraq — A suspected chemical weapons warehouse exploded in flames Monday moments after U.S. troops broke in to search it, killing two soldiers and wounding five. Jubilant Iraqis swarmed over the Americans’ charred Humvees, waving looted machine guns, a bandolier and a helmet. In Fallujah, U.S. troops came under a heavy insurgent attack a day after U.S. officials decided to extend a cease-fire rather than launch a full-scale offensive on the city. One Marine and eight insurgents were killed. The U.S. troops met “a real nasty bunch," said Lt. Col. Brennan Byrne, commander of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. But he said the vio­ lence would not deter plans to begin joint U.S.-lraq patrols. Israel identifies physician as new Hamas leader JERUSALEM — Mahmoud Zahar, a 53-year-old Egyptian- trained physician whose son was killed in an Israeli airstrike, was identified by Israel Monday as the new Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip. Israeli officials signaled he won't be targeted for death if the militant group halts suicide attacks. Hamas, however, refused to reveal the name of its leader for fear he will be assassinated like his two predecessors. The Palestinian attorney general said he would speed up prosecu­ tion of dozens of suspected col­ laborators with Israel and search for those who helped Israel kill Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi on April 17. Fifty-three alleged informers are in Palestinian cus­ tody awaiting trial. Experts to study Mona Lisa^s rapid deterioration PARIS — The Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci’s portrait of the unknown woman with the enig­ matic smile, is sparking a new kind of mystery: What is causing the Renaissance masterpiece to deteriorate so quickly? The thin, poplar panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since conser­ vation experts last evaluated it, the Louvre Museum said. Leonardo’s masterwork — now nearly 500 years old — is inspected every one to two years. The Louvre said the "state of conservation" of the most famous artwork in France's most famous museum “has aroused some worry.” The state-run Center for Research and Restoration of Museums of France will conduct a study to better determine what materials the painting is made of and evaluate its vulnerability to temperature changes. North Korea refuses Souttfs offer to send needed relief DANDONG, China — North Korea balked Monday at opening its heavily armed border to relief trucks from rival South Korea, even as international aid groups sought more help for thousands injured or made homeless by a massive train explosion. The Red Cross distributed a three-month supply of antibiotics, anesthetics and bandages to North Korean hospitals over the weekend, but “according to the hospitals, they have already used these medical supplies and have requested more,” said Niels Juel, an official for the agency who is based in Beijing. Compiled from Associated Press reports doubt the judgment and the atti­ tude he brings to bear on vital security," issues of national said at W estminster Cheney College, W inston where Churchill in 1946 warned against the "Iron Curtain" of commu- rtism. He mocked Kerry's habit of producing confusing or contra­ dictory explanations of his own foreign policies, such as when the Democrat said he voted for — and against — an $87 billion aid pack­ age for Iraq and Afghanistan. Faced with voter unease about Iraq, the White House's offensive also includes a $10 million televi­ sion ad campaign accusing Kerry of opposing vital weapons. The Kerry campaign responded with a fact sheet detailing the vice president's record as defense sec­ retary under Bush's father, includ­ ing a list of proposed weapons cuts sought by Cheney. It quotes Cheney seeking defense cuts during the Cold War. long The Bush campaign maintains that Cheney's positions reflected the availability of a "peace divi­ dend" after the Soviet Union col­ lapsed. Kerry says he supported large increases in defense spend­ ing and sought only to eliminate unnecessary programs. Both men are paying the price for positions taken long ago, many predating Bush's relatively brief political career. While Bush has Cheney, Kerry has no No. 2. Until he selects a running mate, four-term Massachusetts senator must rely on second-tier surrogates such as McAuliffe. the response The quick from Kerry's camp reflects a concern that voters are beginning to view the Democrat in terms cast by Bush: a flip-flopping, tax-raising opportunist. NATION BRIEFS Supreme Court justices spar over school prayer WASHINGTON — Two of the Supreme Court's most conserva­ tive members delivered an unusual public rebuke to more liberal justices Monday, accusing them of ducking an important church-state fight over mealtime prayers at a taxpayer-funded mili­ tary college. Justice Antonin Scalia, joined by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, said the court should have taken the case to answer for the first time whether its ban on school-sponsored prayer for young children and high school­ ers applies to college students as well. Writing separately, Justice John Paul Stevens countered that the VMI case may be important, but suffers from procedural and other problems. He said Scalia is “quite wrong" in his characteriza­ tion of why the court rejected the case. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer joined Stevens. Treasury gives new $50 bill, Grant some color WASHINGTON — Touches of red, blue and yellow are being added to the new $50 bill, the second of the greenbacks to be colorized as part of an effort to thwart counterfeiters. The subtle colors, which appear in parts of what was once the cream-colored background on the note, are the most noticeable change on the new $50, which was unveiled Monday by the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing, makers of the nation’s paper currency. The redesigned $50 also includes tiny yellow number 50s scattered in the background on the back of the note. That’s simi­ lar to the new $20, which has lit­ tle yellow 20s on the back. Compiled from Associated Press reports James A. Finley/A sso ciated Press Vice President Dick Cheney at the podium while addressing support­ ers on the cam pus of Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., on Monday. Cheney discussed Presidents Bush’s war effort before taking aim at John Kerry, the Democratic candidate for president. In March, amid rumors that he may be bumped from the ticket, Cheney resurfaced from a long stretch outside the public eye to question Kerry's fitness to be president. “The senator from M assachusetts has given us ample doubts about his judg­ ment," Cheney said at the time. That speech was part of a larger administration effort to under­ mine Kerry as the one-year anniversary of the start of the Iraq war approached — a milestone met with violence and voters' doubts. Cheney returned to the theme Monday, breaking little new ground while repeating the best lines from his March speech. "The senator from Massachusetts has given us ample grounds to There's no such thing as the perfect date... but there IS the PEBFECT STUDENT HPflRTNENT.

EDITORIAL BOARD Editor Kevin Kushner Associate Editors Bob Jones Matt Wright Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the UT administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. By Esther Wang Daily Texan Columnist It's been 50 years since Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, and how far have we come in those five decades to making education equal for all? Not very far at all. 50 years after Brown v. Board Haifa century later, we now know that what seemed like a victory was, in fact, no victory at all for the millions of chil­ dren who’ve received inferior educations since the 1950s. The sad reality is that the major­ ity of schoolchildren in this coun­ try' still attend segregated schools — and not only segregated schools, but unequal schools, where predominantly black and Latino students (and also south­ east Asian children) are too often taught in crumbling buildings, staffed by indifferent teachers and with a horrendous lack of even basic necessities like books. grated, but black and Latmo stu­ dents are just going to be tracked into remedial programs, as they so often are, and white and Asian students are the ones that fill AP and honors classes and are encouraged to go on to college? We need to change the current property-tax based school fund­ ing system, which is a system that leaves schools in poorer neighborhoods in a perpetual state of misery and decay while shiny suburban schools flounsh with slick new computer labs and the best teachers money can buy. What is this but educational apartheid? In its place, we need a system that distributes resources fairly and equitably, realizing that some schools may need more than others to provide a good education. And according to Harvard University's Civil Rights Project, segregation in our nation's schools has actually been increasing since the early 1990s, even in the after- math of white flight to the suburbs that left our nation's inner cities bumt-out shadows of their former selves. White students typically attend schools where four-out-of- five students are white. More than 40 percent of black and Latino stu­ dents attend schools where you could find, maybe, one white face for every 10 black or brown ones. Even in Austin, most black and Latino students attend schools in east Austin, while mostly white and Asian students go to the schools in more affluent neighbor­ hoods. Legal segregation may be gone, but segregation as a fact of life is still very, very real. But Brown was supposed to solve these problems, when the Supreme Court ruled that separate was never equal. Half a century later, we now know that what seemed like a victory was, in fact, no victory at all for the millions of children who've received inferior educations since the 1950s. At best, it was a bittersweet win. Its gains, after all, were quickly erased by the reality that whites bitterly fought integration of the public school system, sometimes even resorting to closing all the schools in an area. Time and time again, we've seen that racism evolves, taking on new forms whenever it is threatened. Our schools have to be integrated? Close them down, and provide subsidized private school educa­ tions for white students. Th'at won't work? Move to the suburbs, and deny people of color access to those gated communities. The suburbs aren't safe enough? Send your kids to private school. The Supreme Court itself even gave victories to those who opposed integration in 1991, when it ruled that de facto segregation was per­ fectly okay. We clearly can't rely on a court decision to solve the problems of educational injustice and inequality. W.E.B. Du Bois once said black children "needed neither segre­ gated schools nor mixed schools. What they need is education." To truly educate our nation's schoolchildren, regardless of race or class, we need to radically shift our priorities, and the way we fund our schools. Integration isn't enough (and anyway, it seems to have fallen out of favor). What is the meaning and purpose of inte­ gration, after all, if a school is inte­ We need to stop relying on test­ ing as an objective, neutral meas­ ure of intelligence and ability, because it's none of those things. We need to actively oppose Bush's No Child Left Behind Act (or as it's sometimes known, No Child Left Untested). We need to remember that an education is meant to pre­ pare a student for a lifetime as a citizen, community member and critical thinker, not for a lifetime as a mindless drone in front of a computer, working for some face­ less corporation. the problem Fifty years after Brown, let's not forget that the decision just a land­ mark in our nation's past — let us remember that we are still grap­ it pling with attempted to address, and also with the aftermath of its failure. And as we sit here, products of school systems that were created partly as a result of Brown, let's remember that its promise was a promise deferred, but one that maybe our generation can fulfill.

O p in io n Page 4 T h e D a i l y T e x a n Tuesday, April 27, 2004 VIEWPOINT Hitting the polls in 2004 Experts were taken aback by the number of 18-to-24-year olds who showed up at the polls and participated in cau­ cuses in the Democratic primaries. Most notably, turnout in Iowa quadrupled while the youth vote in New Hampshipre increased 50 percent compared to 2000. But the good news doesn't stop there. A Harvard University poll found that 62 percent of college students will "definitely" vote in the upcoming presidential elec­ tion. If that number holds, it would nearly double the 32 percent turnout of 18-to-24-year-olds in 2000 (54 percent of those over 24-years-old voted in 2000). All this good news comes as President Bush and Sen. John Kerry are busy finding some way to gain an advan­ tage in a country experts tell us is split 50/50. Since 41 per­ cent of college students identify themselves as independ­ ent voters, the youth vote looks increasingly attractive to both campaigns. Of course, many are skeptical — and for good reason. Participation from 18-to-24-year-olds in presidential elec­ tions has declined every year since 1972, the first year 18- to-20-year-olds were given voting rights. Even worse, The National Conference of State Legislatures pubished a report last year stating eight-in-10 college students knew the cartoon Simpsons resided in Springfield, 64 percent knew Ruben Studdard won "American Idol," but only one in 10 could pick Dennis Hastert's name out of a list as speaker of the House. Ouch. But while some pundits like to poke fun at the youth's lack of political knowledge, we're willing to bet that even a large percentage of adults know Ruben Studdard's claim to fame but would struggle when queried on Dennis Hasserfi s. The upcoming presidential election provides an oppor­ tunity for younger voters to prove that we're engaged and paying attention to what's happening. With both presi­ dential candidates spending time and money to get college students to the polls, college students are getting help in increasing the power of their constituency. While students hold opposing views on how deal with terrorism, the war in Iraq, the economy and other key issues, showing up to the polls would help empower the younger generation and provide a reason for politicians to pay attention to the issues pertinent to most of young America — such as rising tuition rates, education funding, the environment and the deficit. If 18-to-24-year-olds can improve their turnout figures in the presidential election, state, city and county politicians will take heed and begin engaging and targeting younger voters as well. Let's not miss this opportunity. GALLERY " ‘ yWK W\£ RNfeKT WAhV; By Matt Hardigree Daily Texan Columnist A lesson on how not to be ‘That Guy That ’Gizzle’ thinks that utilizing the -izzle language not only makes him cooler, but actually makes him cultured. individuals are Though I am opposed to play­ ing the role of Miss Manners, I feel it my duty, as an influential and respected voice on campus, to assist in herding some of our misplaced sheep back into nor­ mal society. These the young men who have somehow missed the eye-rolls, the not-so- subtle rejections and the looks of pity when they say or do some­ thing utterly unfortunate. You know them, maybe you dated one of them, maybe you actually are one of them. If you're not sure, here are a few signs that you may be "That Guy." First, there's "That Guy" that uses credit hours instead of actual years at the University when introducing himself. Listen, we all know that you are not a 19- year-old senior, get over yourself. If this is your first year here, you're a freshman, if this is your second year here, you're a sopho­ more, et cetera. End of story. Then, there's "That Guy" who talks in detail about all the alco­ hol he consumed last weekend and how much of a badass he was. "Oh man, I had three shots of tequila, an eighth of vodka, six ' 7 F beers, 300 Jell-o shots ... but only got buzzed." Not only does no one care, but no one is that impressed. Also, "That Guy" has a bad habit of asking the same stupid questions every time a professor assigns a paper. "Hey Professor Moser, so ... is that eight pages with a cover sheet and a bibliogra­ phy? Is that supposed to be dou­ ble-spaced or what? Can I use Courier New or Wingdings?" Welcome to college where 90 per­ cent of your papers are going to be formatted exactly the same way. You know that band that you like but everyone has heard of? "That Guy" thinks he's the first one to discover it and gets upset when told the contrary. "Check this man, I've got my iPod full of obscure tracks from bands you've never even heard of like Sonic Youth, Pavement, Weezer and OutKast... What, you've heard of them before? I hate it when everyone copies my tastes." "That Guy" also brings his lap­ top to class everyday and does one of the following: Plays soli­ taire or chats on AIM within full view of the professor and the rest of the class, types when there is obviously nothing to take notes on, keeps the half-naked picture of Carmen Elektra on his desktop for everyone to see when he closes Word, and takes the time to unpack and plug in an actual mouse and mouse pad. bizzle, "That Gizzle" thinks that uti­ lizing the -izzle language not only makes him cooler, but actu­ ally makes him cultured. "Plizzle my some Mountain Dizzle for my kizzle mizzle, sounds ridiculous coming from almost anyone, but specifically from "That Guy" in your African liter­ ature class. foshizle." retrieve It In addition, you should work hard to make sure you aren't "That Guy" who takes a non- European foreign language like Japanese ox, Arabic as a way to get girls to date you.

Hardigree is a geography and government junior. »***»■ THE FIRING LINE Whatfe the difference? I would like to thank Chad Hanak ("Defining the parties,” April 26) for illuminating the differences between the two major parties. Conservatives, according to Hanak, espouse the classical liberal ideals of “freedom of the individual, rea­ son, justice, democracy (sic; a mod­ ern, not classical, liberal ideal), and laissez-faire economics.” But con­ servatives "realize” that in order "to prevent disasters such as the Great Depression" (considered by classi­ cal liberals at the time to have been caused by government intervention) and to promulgate “compassion­ ate” conservatism, they must expand government. By sharp con­ trast, "liberals” expand government without any apologies to classical liberal ideals. Wow. That is a big difference. Sam Huber Education senior Procreation problems Stephanie Elliott and Chris Burns both assert in their Monday Firing Lines that the purpose of marriage is procreation. Or at the very least, the “possibility of procreation” should exist for the government to recognize a marriage. What about heterosexual couples where one or both partners are infertile15 Should they be granted the right to marry? Even better, should a man who has willingly had a vasec­ tomy be allowed to marry? Clearly, in either case, no possibili­ ty of procreation exists. If the pur­ pose of marriage is, as Bums puts it, “for the sake of the next genera­ tion," infertile couples do not qualify. Rafael Mittlefehldt Journalism senior Marriage myths I’m rather interested in Chris Bums and Stephanie Elliot in their analysis of marriage in general. They claim that marriage is an old and respected institution that serves only future generations. Marriage is a sacred bond that is being defaced by the liberalization of modem culture. Marriage is a cornerstone of society, and gay mar­ riage somehow erodes the basic foundation that this society stands on. Firstly, if I ever get married, it will not be for my kids. Last I checked, marriage is something someone does for himself and his loved one. Most strong marriages I have seen are founded on love between two people, not on the desire to procre­ ate. You become a spouse because you want to spend the rest of your life with your significant other. This is the social and spiritual backbone of marriage, not the simple baby- making instinct. The legal and gov­ ernmental side of marriage has even less to do with the ephemeral sanctity of marriage. This “mar­ riage” is merely a legal obligation to share everything equally with your partner for the rest of your life. Why two people have to be of opposite sex to enter into this contract still seems to escape my understand­ ing. Limiting a person’s right to enter into a homosexual legal con­ tract doesn’t prevent him from car­ rying on social, spiritual, or sexual relations with his or her significant other, it just makes doing taxes that much more difficult. As for the definition of marriage including only a man and a woman being unchangeable and irrevocable simply because you can’t change it... Are you kidding? Two hundred years ago ‘gay’ meant happy, Texas meant Mexico, and the swastika was a Finnish peace symbol. We are an intelligent, adaptable, free think­ ing society. Nothing prevents us from evolving our culture into one that can openly accept the legal or spiritual union of two people of the same sex. Marriage is not written in stone, and the only thing that pre­ vents the change is the stubborn dogma of a stubborn society. Just my two cents Jonathan Weber Mathematics junior Think before you write I’d like to point a few things out to Ms. Ortwerth ("Discriminating obesity," Apr. 27), so her next for­ mulated opinion can be a some­ what educated one. Feel free to Google “genetic predisposition to obesity" to discover that there are some doctors of some patients out there, who will admit that certain genes and hormone irregularities can indeed predispose a person to conditions such as obesity. Numerous other factors, including socio-economic levels, contribute to the problem as well. Next time you are at the grocery store, pay atten­ tion to what foods are cheaper: the higtvcalorie, high-fat, high-sugar, pre­ packaged foods ... or fresh fruits and vegetables. (Even an extra value meal at McDonald’s can be significantly less expensive than a bag of oranges.) It is true that Americans need to eat less and exercise more, but I assure you obesity is an issue that will take more than a few extra laps on a treadmill to combat. Most UT students don’t fall into the categories of Americans who are most prone to obesity, but I’m sure the numerous academic, gov­ ernment and industry organizations working together to combat an epi­ demic that is slated to become the No. 1 killer of Americans would appreciate any educated sugges­ tions you might formulate. I have been following the debate about a diversity requirement for UT stu­ dents, and while I have previously opposed the issue, your reaction to this issue makes me realize that a mandated lesson in compassion and education might not be such a bad idea. Brea Olson U T alumnus 50.000 other preferences What is truly disgusting is Katherine Ortwerth’s comments in Monday’s Firing Line. Are there really people out there that not only lack any sort of compassion and sensi­ tivity but think its a wise idea to advertise their stupidity? All I can say is that I’d rather hang out with 50.000 obese people then with someone like Ortwerth any day. P.S. I hope you get fat. Staci Schutze Journalism senior Israel and independence I am responding to the Benjamin Douglas’ firing line from April 26. It should be noted that before the Independence War, the land of Israel was under British control. Zionists had indeed been trying to make Israel the homeland for the Jewish people, and the British were negoti­ ating with both the Jews and the Arabs. These negotiations occurred in the form of the Peel Commission in 1937 which discussed first, to abolish the British mandate and second, partition the country between the two peoples. Only a zone between Jaffa and Jerusalem would remain under the British man­ date and international supervision. The Jewish state would include the coastal strip stretching from Mount Carmel to south of Be’er Tuvia, as well as the Jezreel Valley and the Galilee. The Arab state was to include the hill regions, Judea and Samaria, and the Negev. While the Jews were willing to work from there, the Arabs rejected the proposal and refused to regard it as a solution. The British government tried again in 1939 to solve the Arab-Jewish conflict, but the Arabs would not comply to their second try either. Finally, in 1947, after the shocking murders of 6 million Jewish people all over Europe during World War II, the United Nations stepped in. Being an organization which strives for peace, the United Nations did their best to accomodate both the Arabs and the Jews. Unfortunately, the Arabs didn't agree and the first large-scale assaults of the Independence War began on January 9,1948, when approxi­ mately 1,000 Arabs attacked Jewish communities in northern Palestine. The UN blamed the Arabs for the violence, and the Arabs took responsiblity for starting the war. I hope this has shed some light on the misunderstandings of how the Israel Independence War actually began.

Lai Daily Texan Staff A mostly international soccer team alleges discrimination after their dismissal two weeks ago from the University's Intramural Sports League for poor sports­ manship. Yoann Hispa league The dism issed the E u r o p e a n S t u d e n t A s s o c ia tio n 's Team Two soc­ cer team from playing in the finals after the team received num erous poor sportsm anship reports from r e f e r e e s . Members of the team are from several coun­ tries, including F r a n c e , M o r o c c o , K enya and Hungary. Benoit Defforey Randall Ford, the RecSports club coordinator, said each team plays three games, and after each game their sportsmanship con­ duct is rated on a letter system. In their first two games, Ford said the team got a C and a D because of their alleged poor attitude toward officials, "The team only received a pos­ itive mark after their opponent forfeited in the third game," Ford said. "In the Intramural League, we don't accept poor behavior, and soccer teams have to main­ tain a B average or will not quali­ fy for the playoffs." Yoann Hispa, captain for the ESA's team and petroleum engi­ neering graduate student, said he believes his team was given bad marks because of miscommunica- tion between referees and team members. "American referees aren't used to international teams," Hispa said. "Abroad, international teams talk a lot and keep communication open with the referees. Here, refer­ ees assume we shouldn't talk to them." Hispa said the team irritated referees by talking loudly with each other and with referees dur­ ing a game. "At the end of a game, players started feeling that the referees were making biased calls against them, and when they tried to question the referees, our team would receive a bad sportsman­ ship grade," Hispa said. Ford said the team's poor grade reflected poor sportsmanship. "The staff consensus was that team 's behavior when the addressing officials was poor," Ford said. "From w hat I under­ stand from the officials, commu­ nication between the two parties involved the team getting upset and yelling to the point where nothing could be accomplished." Hispa recalled one instance when a penalty was called on their team. A fellow player and business sophomore, Benoit Defforey, questioned the referee, the referee yelled at him and filed a report claiming he was verbally threatened by Defforey and Hispa. “The staff consensus was that the team ’s behavior when address­ ing officials was poor.” Randall Ford, RecSports club coordinator "After the first game, we wrote a letter of complaint that the refer­ ees weren't following the same rules, but nothing was done, and our complaint was dismissed," Hispa said. "The referees believe their point of view is always right." Hispa said he has played for the ESA soccer team for two years, and this is the first season the majority of players feel they were treated unfairly on the field. "During one game, the referees didn't do anything when an American team was cussing out [Defforey], who objected to a refer­ ees call," Hispa said. Gerardo Garcia, another ESA soccer player, said ISL referees have trouble interacting with foreign players. "Referees in foreign countries let players talk as much as they want as long as they don't insult them. Here, they just don't talk," Garcia said. But Ford said the problem lies not with the referees, but instead how teams interact with officials. "Obviously, I feel our officials are not biased toward any inter­ national teams. We have many international teams that can keep a B average to make the play­ offs," Ford said. "Many of our ref­ erees are international students and are just doing a job. They could care less which team wins or loses." appealed Ford said referees for the ESA games would not be available for comment. He also refused to pro­ vide the Texan with reports filed by the referees. The ESA their removal from the League to the Sports Club Council, but in a 5-to- 1 vote, the expulsion was upheld. "It's just a game," Hispa said. "We d id n 't hurt anybody. We don't curse at anybody. We just get emotional because we love the game so much, and the decision to kick us out on sportsmanship is wrong."

Michael Bergman/Daily Texan Staff open records requests filed with the System and UT-Austin last summer. "We'd like to clarify what hap­ pened last spring," Schwellenbach said. "What we are trying to allow people to understand is that this was something initiated by the UT System." The report profiles a few play­ ers, such as the System's vice chancellors for governm ental relations; Rep. Geanie Morrison, R-Victoria, who introduced the deregulation bill; and Harrison Keller, a policy analyst for House Speaker Tom Craddick who teaches at the LBJ School of Public Affairs. Vice chancellors for govern­ mental relations communicate regularly with legislators about the impact of proposed legisla­ tion on the System. These activi­ ties fall within the scope of the law, but some critics complain the vice chancellors overstep their bounds. One such chancellor, Carlos Martinez, sent several e-mails about tuition deregulation to a policy analyst for the Senate Committee of Education. The e-mails show he asked that certain material be included in legislation. Martinez would not comment on the report and referred calls to the System public affairs office. System officials' only commu­ nication with Morrison, chair of the House H igher Education to provide Committee, was requested a spokesman said. information, "That was us, generally, con­ tacting them, to see w hat the impact would be to the System," said Justin Unruh, the spokesman. "We would make the changes [to the bill] that we wanted, then we would meet with them and ask what the impact of those changes would be." “What we are trying to allow people to under­ stand is that this was something initiated by the UT System." Nick Schwellenbach, UT Watch member UT Watch called Keller, Craddick's education policy ana­ lyst, "UT's direct channel to Tom Craddick," and a major advocate for deregulation w ithin the speaker's office. Craddick's office disputes that point. Craddick and spokesman Bob Richter said the System already had substantial access to the speaker through his close with relationship Chancellor Mark Yudof. The two met- on the day Craddick was Keller sworn in, Richter said. Craddick didn't need goading by the System to fight for deregu­ lation, Richter said. "H e felt so strongly that [deregulation] was necessary, and as speaker you can do a lot of things that you can't do as a leg­ islator," Richter said. "He talked about it everywhere he went." Rather than advocating a stance on deregulation, Keller said, he studied ways to provide that financial aid would be hit by rising tuition. That effort wasn't at the System's request, he said. to schools "I've never coordinated my work w ith UT-Austin or UT System," Keller said. "That said, that doesn't mean I don't work with them." Lobbyists from public interest groups told The Daily Texan in March that System officials also lobbied during the regular ses­ sion for a new exemption to state open records laws. A System spokesm an the System was only providing infor­ mation and didn't break that law. Lobbying by the System is part of how the Capitol works, said Richter, who didn't know it was illegal for the System to lobby. insisted that "If they want something for the University, they come over here, and they lobby the speaker or they lobby members," Richter said.

Everitt, executive director of Children's Defense Fund of Texas. "CHIP and Medicaid cuts cost us far more than we save," Coleman said. The governor's office did not return phone calls Monday. addressed by the House. to put Two Democratic state legisla­ tors filed bills Monday they hope will restore funding to health-care programs that suf­ fered budget cuts during the regular legislative session. ¡ State Representatives Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, and Elliott Naishtat, D-Austin, filed House Bills 46 and 47, respectively. The two urged Perry to put the bills, which would increase funding for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, on the agenda for the current special session. The lawmakers called on Perry to make good on a statement he made during the second special session he called to address con­ gressional redistricting in July 2003. Perry, at the time, called on quorum-breaking Democratic leg­ islators who had fled the state, to including return Medicaid and CHIP could be issues so Coleman's HB 46 would allo­ cate about $450 million to boost the budgets of Medicaid and CHIP that were cut during the regular session. HB 47 also aims to restore funding to health-care programs, but it includes a $1 increase in the cigarette tax. Money from the cigarette tax would further increase the pro­ grams' budgets. "CHIP and Medicaid cuts make no sense educationally or economically," Naishtat said. "We must restore the cuts to these critical services immediately." The Harris County Hospital District is facing a $36 million shortfall, as uninsured Texans go to emergency rooms for treat­ ment instead of receiving care before health problems become critical, said Coleman. Bexar and El Paso counties face similar deficits, and in Lubbock County there has already been a 46-cent tax increase, said Patti Advocates of CHIP said cuts to the program are harmful to low- and middle-income families. The implemented along asset test, with budget cuts, disqualifies many families from receiving health coverage. Those that earn more than $23,505 a year and have a savings account, or own a sec­ ond car worth more than $4,650 are not eligible for Medicaid and CHIP, said Everitt. "The asset test is a barrier to employment and a penalty for working families," Everitt said. Everitt said the bills filed by Coleman and Naishtat provide a means to restore health care to children and plan for meeting the state's health and human service needs. Representatives Talmadge Heflin, R-Houston, and Arlene Wohlegemuth, R-Burleson, filed the legislation that resulted in cuts to Medicaid and CHIP. Heflin had no comment on the Democrats' bills, and Wohlegemuth was unavailable at press time Monday. Contract effective in September SHUTTLE, FROM 1 entered the meeting room. The demonstration came just hours after the Capital Metro board of directors voted 5-to-0 to approve a one-year contract extension with the University for providing shuttle service. The contract extension begins September 2004. About percent The University contracts with Capital Metro for the shuttle service, and Capital Metro sub­ contracts with ATC/Vancom to manage drivers and mechanics to provide bus maintenance. 50 of A TC /V ancom 's drivers and mechanics are members of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1549, which has been negotiating for two years with ATC/Vancom for increased pay and better benefits and working conditions. ATU President Norm Couture, at the meeting, acknowledged the board's April 21 discussion of shuttle driver pay. "I think, together, we can work this out," Couture said. SFSS mem bers and shuttle workers have been attempting to get support for the workers' cause from UT students, the University and Capital Metro since January. Bob Harkins, director of UT parking transportation services, said the contract exten­ and sion sets the University's cost for shuttle service at $35.51 per hour, which is about a 6-percent increase from last year. The UT student fee committee in September 2003 approved an increase to student fees to cover the increased cost of service, he said. The number of hours the UT shuttle system will operate dur­ ing the contract period is not yet finalized because the University is holding public meetings on changes, service proposed changes Harkins said. The include certain combining routes during early mornings, nights and weekends when rid- ership is low to cut hours that can be used elsewhere, he said. The Capital Metro board also held a public hearing Monday regarding proposed changes to bus routes, including changes to UT routes. Many activists commented on the pro­ posed changes. shuttle SFSS member Frank Edwards, a sociology and history junior, said he regularly packs into overcrowded shuttles, and he thinks the current service does not meet student needs. "To talk about cutting it fur­ ther would be to make it more inadequate," Edwards said. Activists asked Capital Metro to terminate their contract with ATC/Vancom. into Before m arching "ATC: UT wants the board room, SFSS members and shuttle workers picketed out­ side the Capital Metro offices, holding signs with messages a like, divorce." SFSS Chris Hamilton, a law student, criti­ cized ATC/Vancom's recent fir­ ing of two shuttle drivers for attending an SFSS picnic and investigating group members for calling workers and inviting them to the picnic. member "They have insulted our driv­ ers. They have insulted our stu­ d ents," Hamilton said about ATC/Vancom to the board of directors. "And they're giving you a bad reputation." Capital Metro President and CEO Fred Gilliam said he sees no reason to terminate the con­ tract with ATC/Vancom. Lee Walker, chairman of the Capital Metro board of direc­ tors, said the meeting was exact­ ly what a public hearing should be. "I was impressed by the elo­ quence of the speakers, by the passion," Walker "I some thought thoughtful ideas that were put forward." there were said. Capital Metro will request bids for the UT shuttle service this summer. The new contract would take effect May 2005. You’ll be impressed. With the people, the place and the paycheck.

Chris Nguyen/Daily Texan Staff Organizations support tax options to fix ‘Robin Hood system By Kristi Hsu Daily Texan Staff The League of Women Voters of Texas and Common Cause Texas jum ped into the public school fray Monday, throwing their support behind three tax options. finance Gov. Rick Perry called a special session last Tuesday to fix the state's current school finance sys­ tem known as "Robin Hood." Perry suggested funding public schools with a "sin tax" on ciga­ rettes and adult entertainment. But interest two public groups called Perry's plan "unstable" and suggested a split tax roll dividing residential prop­ erty taxes, business property taxes and business activity taxes and sales and service taxes. the Donna Howard, chair of the Common Cause tax committee, said the groups also thought a state income tax would be a good option, but said legislators had rejected that possibility. "We want the solution that will make residents and business own­ ers happy and adequately funds our education said Barbara Hankins, LVW representa­ tive. system," The split tax roll would separate commercial and industrial proper­ ties from residential property for school tax purposes. The state would pool the funds from the business properties and redistrib­ ute them statewide. Residential taxes would go directly to the local school system. The second proposal would expand taxable items to include services like legal advice and architectural consultation, said Darlene Hicks, LVW president. Both organizations said the business activity tax is the best option. Under the plan, all profit- making businesses would be taxed at a rate of 2.5 percent, said Mary Mathis, a certified public accountant and m em ber of Common Cause. "Even this flat rate should be able to generate about $10 billion for the system," Mathis said. But the Texas Association of Business has its own ideas about what is best for the state. TAB opposes the tax because a sim ilar tax plan in M ichigan reduced new business develop­ ments, said Cathy DeWitt, TAB spokeswoman. Michigan is cur­ rently phasing out the tax and will be free of business activity tax by 2010, she said. If the plan passed, Texas would be the only state with a business tax in 2010. "[The business activity tax] is a deterrent to economic develop­ ment and would dnve businesses away from Texas," DeWitt said. AUSTIIM qPEN apr=i^30^ g AUDITORIUM SHORES PARI?

Focus EMPOWERING LATINAS Webzine Latinitas provides young women with reading, opportunity By Dan Kleiner • Daily Texan Staff A s she stood behind her booth at Dia de los Niños, a children's fair at the St. Jo h n 's Branch L ib rary on Saturday, M arcela Evan s praised the m otivation and the message of Latinitas, a webzine for Latina girls aged 9- 20. "The best thing about working w ith Latinitas is that you can really tell how much everyone cares," said Evans, a Latin-American stud­ ies senior. "Everyone is very wel­ coming and warm — it makes us care even more, too." Evans and a group of volun­ teers and co-workers gave out prizes to children who came up to their booth and effectively "p in n ed the book in M aria's hand." Am idst the laughter and occasional cheating of the youth­ ful participants, the band of young wom en w ith Latinitas magazine also handed out sur­ veys and took names for their e- mail list, all to better their already highly praised magazine. Latinitas, w hich celebrated its 1-vear anniversary in January, carries a message of em power­ ment for Latina girls, not just in Austin, but all over the country. Upon visits to the Web site, latinitasmagazine.com, Latina girls have access to a w ide range of columns tailored to helping them understand problem s in their d a ily lives. A d d ition ally, they have the opportunity to read columns by other Latina youth and w rite their ow n columns for the Web-based magazine, includ­ ing book review s, W eb site review s, personal stories and much more. "O u r W eb site really gives something im portant to Latina girls, because unfortunately there is nothing else like us out there," said A licia Rascón, co-founder of Latinitas magazine. "There are a lot of im portant issues facing Latina girls today, and w e are very happy to give them another resource." The Latino population in Austin makes up about 31 percent of the city's population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Additionally, the 2000 census of the city of Austin put people aged 15 and younger as 19 percent of all residents. W ith the huge number of Latino people living in Austin, it seems necessary that a periodi­ cal be created to serve this com­ m unity and its youth. That is just what happened in spring 2002. from class, taught Rosenthal A licia Rascón and Laura D onnelly began the initial phases of w hat would become Latinitas magazine in a journalism in Latin A m erica by Professor Alves. Rascón and Donnelly, both jour­ nalism graduates the U niversity, researched the repre­ sentation of Latina youth in the media and found a dram atic lag­ ging of any kind of representa­ tion at all. W ith this finding, they decided to w ork on creating a m a g a z in e to fill that void and give em powerm ent to the Latina com m unity through a new online voice. The webzine becam e fu lly operational in January 2003. They started small, focusing on Latina girls ages 9-to-14, and addressed issues of particular im portance to the Latina com m unity such as body image and health issues such as diabetes, which dispro- portionaJly affects Latina girls. Although Latinitas magazine addresses serious issues affecting the Latin a g irls' com m unity, D onn elly said that from the beginning, em pow erm ent through involvem ent w as just as important. "O u r vision was and is a mag­ azine for girls by girls," D onnelly said. M an y organizations speak about involving their patrons in w hat they do, but Latinitas mag­ azine has really made their v ision come alive. In addition to receiv­ ing feedback at events like D ia de los N iños, Latinitas m agazine makes a very strong effort to get "th e ir niñas" involved. They hand out surveys and flyers in m any schools around Austin and have w eekly after-school meet­ ings at M artin M iddle School to discuss things in the com m unity and get the kids involved. "It is really im portant for us to stay in tune w ith the com m unity," said M aria Orta, an advertising junior volunteer w ith Latinitas. "It lets us know w hat the girls w ant in the magazine and helps us do our job better." and In the online magazine, Latina girls w ill find something different every month. On its one-year anniversary, Latinitas added a teen section that targets girls ages 14 and up, which is now pub­ sw itching lished bi-monthly, places with the pre-teen version that targets girls 9-to-14. Jim ena Ruiz, 12, said the online magazine is very interesting and fun, w hile her friend Samantha Salazar, 11, w ho just discovered its existence at D ia de los Niños, wants to become involved. "It looks fun," Salazar said. " I like to write, and maybe I can w rite for [Latinitas]." The future for Latinitas has m any things in store. Last sum ­ mer they had a cam p at the U niversity along w ith the Juráor League, and this sum m er w ill be the same. A dditionally, thqy w ill have concerts over the summer, including poetry contests and other w ays for their readers to show off th eir talents. Latinitas also sponsors w ork­ shops and focus groups, specifi­ cally teen reporter training w ork­ shops at Ventaña del Soul, a youth center on O ltorf Road.

Caroling Lee/Daily Texan S taff W ith all of these things going on now and in the future for Latinitas m agazine, they still have an even bigger goal in mind> their first print edition. W h ile they do not know when this w ill be happening, Rascón pointed out that being an online publication does come w ith cer­ tain advantages. "W e 've had people from all over the place contact us about Latinitas," Rascón said. "W e've gotten praise from teachers all over the country that see our webzine, and some have said they use it in their classes." However, despite all the praise from "th eir niñas," teachers, and m agazine and new spaper arti­ cles, Rascón highlighted one form of praise that made her feel particularly happy. "The best praise is from the mothers of our niñas, when they say that they wished there was something like Latinitas for them when they were young. That really makes us feel like w e're doing something great," Rascón said. !

Singh reins victorious at rain-soaked Houston Open By Michael Graczyk Associated Press HUMBLE — Vijay Singh shot a 4-under 68 in the final round Monday, holding off Scott Hoch and John Daly for a two-stroke vic­ tory in the rain-delayed Houston Open. Singh finished the four rounds at 11-under 277 for his second victory in Houston, where he won two years ago. It was die 17th tour vic­ tory for Singh and second this year. In 11 events in 2004, he's finished in the top 10 six times. Hoch was second at 9 under after a closing 67. John Huston (71) was another shot back, followed by Stephen Ames (69) and Dudley Hart (70). Daly and Hoch started the last round three shots back. Daly got to within one stroke of the lead before fading late. He finished with a 71, leaving him six strokes back for the tournament. Weather problems interrupted play three consecutive days at the Redstone Golf Club and pushed the into Monday, where third-round play was com­ pleted for most of the field earlier in the day. tournament Singh opened the event with a 74, but his second-round 66 equaled the low round of the tour­ nament. He completed his third round earlier Monday, making an 88-foot chip for eagle at the 12th hole that gave him a 69 and a share of the lead with Huston after 54 holes at 7 under. Singh began the final round after a short break and birdied two of the first three holes, rolling in a 20- foot putt at No. 1. At the 209-yard par-3 third hole, his tee shot stopped less than 2 1 /2 feet from the pin. His putt for birdie gave him the lead outright at 9 under. With Daly on the opposite end of the course making birdies, Singh had seven consecutive pars before a birdie at the par-4 No. 11, where he putted in from less than 10 feet. As Hoch closed in, Singh coolly added a 10-foot birdie at No. 15. Hoch, coming off a tie for sev­ enth last week at the MCI Heritage for his best finish of the year, began the final round three shots back. He birdied his first three holes but didn't get another until No. 12. Then on the par-5 15th, he got to within one of the lead. His third shot from 79 yards away landed 6 feet from the cup, and he made the putt for birdie to get to 9 under. That was as close as it would get for Hoch, who led this event in 1995 heading into the final day, blowing a five-shot lead with a final-round 75 and then losing in a playoff to Payne Stewart. Daly, playing the back nine first, started the final round at 4 under. He had four birdies on his first eight holes, including a 42-footer at No. 17. He made the turn one shot behind Singh and started the front side with four consecutive pars, then bogeyed Nos. 5, 6 and 9 to take him out of the hunt. Huston started the day by finish­ ing his third round with a 5-under 67 to tie him for the lead with Singh. He birdied No. 1 with a 10- foot putt, then gave the shot back at the second hole when he three- putted from 33 feet, giving Singh a two-shot advantage. He could never get much going, with birdie attempts at Nos. 16, 17 and 18 all rolling just past the cup. But his third-place finish after closing with a 71 easily was his best of the year. at the Singh won earlier this year at Pebble Beach. He also finished sec­ ond season-opening Mercedes Championships and tied for sixth at the Masters, vaulting him to No. 2 on the PGA money list. The $900,000 earned in Houston gives him $2.35 million for the year, trailing Phil Mickelson by about $130,000.

Nebraska Jen n a Cooper was a first-team All B ig 12 selection fo r Huskers By The Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. — An argu­ ment at a party celebrating the end of the spring soccer season led to the shooting death of Nebraska soccer standout Jenna Cooper. The 21-year-old junior from Louisville, Ky., died Sunday evening at BryanLGH Medical Center West. She had been shot in the throat in the 2 a.m. incident soccer standout fatally shot at party over weekend that left another man wounded. The bullet w as apparently aimed at Nolan Jenkins, 22, of Sidney, who was standing a few feet from Cooper when another party guest allegedly pulled out a .32-caliber handgun and fired at Jenkins from close range, Police Chief Tom Casady said. Investigators believe a single bullet passed through Jenkins' scalp before exiting and striking Cooper in the throat. Jenkins was listed in fair condi­ at tion M onday m orning BryanLGH West. Lucky 22, of Iromuanya, Lincoln, was arrested on suspi­ cion of first-degree assault, use of a weapon to commit a felony and carrying a concealed weapon. The County Lancaster Attorney's Office said Iromuanya was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday. He was in custody Monday morning. "Nolan and one other man and Lucky were exchanging some harsh w ords," C asady said. "Lucky brandished this hand­ gun, shot Nolan and, in the process, shot her." In a statement issued by the Nebraska athletic departm ent late Sunday confirming Cooper's death, Nebraska head soccer coach John Walker said Cooper was a great person, teammate and player. "It was an absolute pleasure to have her on the team and to know her as a friend and team­ mate," he said. Cooper, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering, earned first-team all-state honors while playing high school soccer for Sacred H eart Academy of Louisville. She was a three-year starter for the Com huskers and one of the the Big 12 top defenders Conference. She earned first team, All-Big 12 honors in 2(X)3. in She also helped lead Nebraska to three NCAA consecutive Tournament appearances. Cooper played with the U.S. Under-20 National Team in 2001 and the U.S. Under-21 National Team in 2002. James Griesen, a Nebraska vice chancellor for student affairs, said he called C oop er's instructors Sunday night. "They are all anxious to be helpful in any way they can," he said. The university provides grief counselors for students through the University Health Center. W i t n e s s e s told p o lic e that about 20 to 30 people attended the Saturday night party. Police said they did not find a link between Iromuanya and either Cooper or Jenkins, but that he had gone to the party with a friend who was invited. According to police reports, someone had stolen shot glasses and from C oo p er's house, Iromuanya became angry after being questioned. Iromuanya has had no signifi­ cant history with Lincoln police. Several w itnesses heard the the argum ent, saw shot or Casady said. Page 1 0 SPORTS Tuesday, April 2 7 , 2 0 0 4 Sticking around? Parcells building for future Dallas coach traded pick Saturday for first-rounder in 2005 By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press IRVING — Bill Parcells doesn't seem like he's in much of a hurry. Instead of making moves that could have almost immediate impact, the Dallas Cowboys and their coach appear focused on building to come. for years Certainly longer than the three sea­ sons left on Parcells' contract. The Cowboys just might have a long-term Bill. There has always been the per­ ception that Parcells, who came out of retirement in hopes of restoring the Cowboys to glory, might not stay the full four years of his con­ tract. That idea seemed to have even more credence with the Cowboys' fast-track back to the playoffs last year after three straight 5-11 sea­ sons. Even with a record of quick turn­ arounds, the 62-year-old coach who has been to three Super Bowls had never taken one of his first- year teams to the postseason before last season. Now with their NFC East rivals active in trying to improve right look like the Cowboys away, they're planning ahead. With the chance to choose any running back and fill a desperate need with the No. 22 overall pick in the Cowboys the NFL draft, instead traded down. They valued more the extra picks they got, including another No. 1 next year. "That getting next year's num­ ber one was big for us," Parcells said. "That should serve us well." Much later. "I think it does point to and should point to that Bill's mentality really is in step with my mentality and what our organization's is," owner Jerry Jones said. "And that is we are looking ahead not just into this season, but we're looking at several seasons here. And he is too." The Cowboys still got a running back with their first pick, Julius Jones from Notre Dame in the sec­ Bill Parcells, left, discusses strategy with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones during the 2 0 0 4 NFL Draft. Dallas selected running back Julius Jones with its first pick in the draft Saturday. ond round. Top running back prospects Steven Jackson, Chris Perry and Kevin Jones went in the next nine picks after Buffalo used the pick from Dallas for a quarter­ back. Dallas last month acquired quar­ terback Drew Henson, who hasn't played football since 2000 at Michigan. After pursing pro base­ ball, he will have to get back in football shape and probably won't have an impact this season. So why is Parcells agreeing to all these moves for the future if he doesn't plan to stay past 2006? Is he positioning himself and the team for a longer stay? "I'm not saying no as the answer to the question of being here longer," Parcells said. "I am saying that in my heart, I have to approach this from the long-range view if I'm going to be honest and forthright with the Joneses," he said. "I mean, I have to do what I genuinely think is in the best interest of the Dallas Cowboys franchise." That sounds more like a general manager. the New York Jets, his future in the coach. The Dallas Cowboys GM job is taken — by Jerry Jones. is as Even though no longer shackled by dead money and with plenty of room under the salary cap, Dallas wasn't very active before die draft. The Cowboys signed free agent defensive end Marcellus Wiley, an expected upgrade from the departed Ebenezer Ekuban. They also got Keyshawn Johnson, a Parcells favorite, from Tampa Bay for Joey Galloway. While Parcells held that role for That was pretty much it. "I think I probably held us back a little," Parcells said. "I certainly don't want to get in an economically prohibitive situation, then you are in jail. That had happened here." Forget the thought of winning now at any cost, which w'ould be more appropriate for Parcells if he was really planning to get out in a year or two. The Cowboys overachieved last season, going 10-6 despite an inconsistent offense: an injury plagued line, erratic play from third-year quarterback Quincy Carter and an unproductive run­ ning game. Another 10-win season will be difficult, especially in the NFC East. Philadelphia added defensive end Jevon Kearse, Terrell Owens, and huge, rookie tackle Shane Andrews. Coach Joe Gibbs is back in Washington, and he has Clinton Portis at running back. And the New York Giants added 10 free agents before getting quarterback Eli M anning the No. 1 overall pick. Seems tike Big Bill's still got plenty of building to do, and plans to take his time to doing it. You’ve Got News Get The Daily Texan in your Inbox.

Garage? “Pawn Shoppe Heart” is The Von Bondies first with Warner Bros. Photo courtesy of Warner Bros. T h f . V o n B o n d i e s Vl m \l: “ Pawn S hoppe H e a rt” L a b i i .: Sir»* According to Detroit rockers the Dirtbombs, "If there was a 'Detroit Scene,' we'd tell you all about it. However, there's not. It's a nice media delusion, but that's about all it is." That makes it a lit­ tle bit easier to talk about what can best be described as a fluke, then. A city that — and I'm pretty sure of this — is so economically depressed that they are convert­ ing some inner-city blocks into farmland, is cranking out a slew of platinum-selling acts. Rap artists aside, the White Stripes are ushering in a new era of punk/blues hybrids that are try­ ing their damndest to ride this "media delusion" for all its worth. This segues nicely into another question about the "Detroit Scene." If all these artists happen to be making a nearly identical form of music without even the most reverent nod to their con­ temporaries, then how did Jack White end up at the Magic Stick giving Von Bondies frontman Jason Stollsteimer the beating of his life? A beating so severe that even E! makes mention of it on its Web site? Did I forget to say that this one-sided punching match happened to coincide with the release of the Von Bondies newest record "Pawn Shoppe Heart?" Publicity stunt conspiracies aside, the White Stripes are large­ ly responsible for bringing the Von Bondies out of the garage. Their 2002 release "Lack of Communication" was produced by Jim Diamond of the Dirtbombs and the above mentioned pepper­ mint-colored pugilist. So after touring relentlessly, Stollsteimer and crew have finally dropped their first major label album. "Pawn Shoppe Heart" is a col­ lection of songs that goes for the gritty gusto, but largely ends up seeming gutless. It has all the ingredients: the ripped-off blues power chords: the emphatic Stollsteimer on vocals; some flat, punky female back-up; a few surfer-rock grins and the snazzy John Lee Hooker transitions. But all-in-all, whatever grittiness there used to be has been washed away by major-label production values and a definitive lack of musical roots. Let's put it this way, this record is more radio-friendly than any­ thing the White Stripes will ever produce. You can almost tell that each note was written with an eye on the airwaves. is indicative of So when the Von Bondies make their rounds and end up in heavy rotation at the litany of hard-rock radio stations with an "X" in their call letters, here's what to listen for. The first single "C'Mon, C'Mon" the sweaty, adrenaline "guitars on overdrive" that Stooges fans will have an easy time placing, is a pure cock "Poison Ivy" rock/punk love child and the more progressive cut "Not that Social" lets Marcie Bolen take over the vocals, in a Karen O-ish taste of the Bondies' version of the recent punk grrrl storm. A little truth with charity is good for the Von Bondies. Call it party-rock, call it bluesy-punk, or call it garage-based raw, but any band that has the gall to state, "credibility is important to us," has the right to have that assertion challenged. So what would nor­ mally have been an easily forgot­ ten blip in the "rock 'n' roll" story­ books deserves a little further scrutiny.

The Polyphonic Spree open. 1 * rnmmmmmmmmmmmmmm SOUND BITE Page 16 look back at last Thursday's A outstanding Ozomatli shoiv at L a Z ona Rosa H anso n Al H I V I : “ L \ m l,: 3 C O R e c o r d s I n d e r n e a t h Hanson has been seemingly absent from music land since a lukewarm reception to their sec­ ond mainstream album “This Time Around” in 2000. Late last year, the pop-rock trio re-emerged quietly with a small-venue acoustic tour to test out new material. Now, the guys are back in full force with the release of their new album “Underneath.” This time the brothers, who have been critic favorites since their mainstream debut “Middle of Nowhere," return on their own terms. Refusing to be one-hit wonders, they opted out of their major label deal and went indie with their own 3CG Records. As a result, the latest album gives audiences a real taste of Hanson’s abilities as not only musicians and songwriters, but producers as well, "Underneath," not to be con­ fused with their Internet release “Underneath Acoustic” in 2003, is a true testament of Hanson's much-underrated talent. The young boys who started the sugar-pop surge of the late '90s with the infectious “MMMBop” show us they have matured, and their growth shines through on this album in particular. Musically, Isaac, 23, Taylor, 20, and Zac, 18, have never strayed far from their blues and rock ’n’ roll roots. On this album, they infuse elements of those genres into a contemporary pop/rock style and create something fresh and original. This is most-appar­ ent on the up tempo “Get Up and Go,” where organs and light clapping transport listeners back to the old-school rock ’n’ roll of the ’50s and '60s. Formerly an a cappella group, Hanson’s fluid harmonies give the album even more strength and are instruments in their own rights. The three voices melt together effortlessly with Taylor’s raspy vocals taking the lead. But what really sets this album apart is clean, skillful songwrit- ing. "Strong Enough to Break” is one of the strongest tracks lyrics-wise. The song overflows with insight and right-on metaphors that belie the trio’s ages. The first single off the album, “Penny and Me,” which debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top 200 Singles chart, is anoth­ er example of Hanson’s gift for crafting intricate stories. Also worth mentioning is the title track "Underneath” which they co-wrote with Matthew Sweet, and “Lost Without Each Other” on which they collaborat­ ed with Gregg Alexander of the New Radicals. Michelle Branch, who was signed after a Maverick representative caught her open­ ing act at a Hanson concert, also guest vocals on “Deeper.” "Underneath” is sure to send Hanson back into the forefront and change the face of pop/rock ... again. — Vickie An STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP APRIL 27 ■ MAY 2 PARAMOUNT THEATRE p J k NURlt.i: P A R A M O U N T THEATRE ROX O F F IC E *4 4 9 -S H O W | »tT A R T IC K E T S.C O M ( ‘ a dditional STAR fe e s will apply) By Ford Gunter Daily Texan Staff The house was packed well before Ozomatli took the stage at La Zona Rosa on Thursday night, as much a testament to Ozo's recent run-in with the law during South-by-Southwest as anything else.
