Robert Tulloch and James F»arker are accused of murdering two professors. According to an indictment released last week, prosecutors said robbery was the motive for the slaying of Half and Susanne Zantop, whose bodies were found in January 2001. Tulloch, 18, is charged with first-degree murder. Parker, 17, pleaded guilty to reduced charges and agreed to testify against Tulloch. Aggie mascot being trained HOUSTON — Reveille, the Texas A&M mascot has been shipped off to boot camp. The l&monthold American collie, who became the university’s seventh mascot last year, has been sent to obedience school to turn down her volume. This semester, with the all-important football season behind her, Reveille entered Puppy Love obedience school in College Station. “She’s just very distracted,” said sopho­ more Javier Aguine, A&M’s Mascot Corporal, who must keep Reveille standing at attention. Kidnapper previously indicted WASHINGTON — The suspected master­ mind in the abduction and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was secretly indicted last year by a federal grand jury for a foiled 1994 kidnapping, Newsweek magazine reported Sunday. The 1994 charges involved four Western tourists kid­ napped in India. Taken into custody Feb. 5 in the Pearl case, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh told interrogators that his group wanted to teach the United States a lesson, intelligence officials said. In the 1994 kidnapping, authorities found the victims and imprisoned Saeed, who had been seeking freedom for Islamic extremists.

The Texas men claimed 18 victories in 21 events, while the No. 3 women cap­ tured 16 out of the 21. This year's tri­ umph marks the 23rd straight conference title for the men, and die women's fourth consecutive Big 12 tide. The No. 3 men's squad totaled 1,085.5 points to out-distance second place Texas A&M (780.5), while the women's team set a new conference record for total points, breaking their own record set last year. The women's team amassed 1,055.5 points — 58 more than the previous record-number — to defeat Texas A&M's women's team by 375 points. Junior Joscelin Yeo led the women with seven gold medals at this year's championships, three individual wins and four relay victories, and was named the Big 12 women's swimmer of the meet. The eight-time all-American also set two new Big 12 records in the 200- yard individual medley and the 100-yard butterfly. Freshman Alisa Schuknecht, voted the Big 12 women's newcomer of the meet, continued die record-breaking trend by setting a new Big 12 record in the 400-yard individual medley championship heat. “When I saw Alisa drop five seconds from her best time in the preliminaries and two more in the final, it really ignit­ ed the team," senior Lauren Thies said. “It makes someone like myself want to have a repeat performance and keep the momentum going." Going into the championships, though, the Longhorns' did not focus on breaking records. Instead, women's co-head coach Mike Walker said they worked on their team unity. “We've really been focusing on the team concept and working together," he said. “We've taken a really good step here, and we still have a lot of bullets left in the gun." That team concept and the energy derived from it thrust senior Valerie Oswald to her first individual Big 12 win in the 200-yard breaststroke. Oswald finished with her career-best time. Her performance was also good enough to automatically qualify for the NCAA tournament.

Associated P. Second student charged in ID counterfeiting By Courtney Morris Daily Texan Staff Ryan McClure and his roommate, Imran Ali Karim, shared a room in Dobie Center, where they manufactured hundreds of fake driver's licenses, officials say. The two allegedly amassed a small fortune by selling foe IDs to people around the country, and police arrested MoClure Thursday for his part in the oper­ ation, one day after they arrested Karim. McClure an economics junior, is charged with the third- degree felony f°r manufacturing a counterfeit instrument and could receive up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Karim, an economics sophom ore, faces the charge of tampering with a government document, which is a second-degree felony pun­ ishable by a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $10,0(X) fine. McClure was arrested after the Texas Department of Public Safety d isco v ered he helped Karim produce foe counterfeit licenses, said Tom Vinger, a DPS spokesman DPS officials said they suspected McClure but had to obtain an additional arrest warrant because the initial warrant was for Karim. "Really, the investigation is just beginning," Vinger said. "We now have all the evidence we need to sift through and see what else is going on." The arrests are part of an ongoing DPS campaign to prosecute producers of fake IDs. The DPS arrested Karim Feb. 20 after it obtained a warrant to search his dorm room and found fraudulent documents being developed counterfeit licenses and tools used to make fake IDs. Karim is accused of selling hundreds of counterfeit d r iv e r 's licenses across the country. Karim is currently out on bail.

The searchers participated in "Ride for Rachel," an event organized by those close to Cooke who wanted to spread the search to the rest of the state. They posted fliers with updated information in shop windows to bring news of her disappearance to places where people may not have heard of the case. The 19-year-old student, who attended Mesa Junior College in California, disap­ peared on the morning of Jan. 10 while jogging near her home in Georgetown. More than six weeks later, investigators still don't know how she disappeared or where she might be, and no clues have surfaced. "There are still an incredible amount of people who do not know, and foe Ben Hepworth discusses what route Ronnie Doerr will take in distributing fliers for a statewide search for missing Georgetown woman Rachel Cooke. Addy Sambamurthy/ Daily Texan Staff only way they might know is if they see a flier in a store window somewhere," said Robert Cooke, Rachel's father. Inspiration for foe drive came from one of Robert Cooke's co-workers at IBM, who said he wanted to drive his motor­ cycle from Oklahoma to Mexico and post fliers about Rachel's disappearance. Kelly Mehan and Ben Hepworth, two other co-workers, began planning the event with help from the Cooke family. Taking time off from work, the two assembled 130 routes that would take searchers from Georgetown to as far as the Texas Panhandle and the coast.

Sponsored by the Women's Resource Center and the Orange Jackets, the University joined about 550 other colleges worldwide in presenting the monologues this year. "People have all been smiling after performances," said Katie Jahnke, pro­ ducer of The Vagina Monologues and a government senior. "People are happy; people are thrilled with tnis. It means a lot of different things on a lot of differ­ ent levels to people. It really has changed something in their outlook." Tickets for the weekend's perform­ ances sold out by Tuesday, Jahnke said. Though waiting lists were creat­ ed each night to allow people without tickets to join the audience, only about half the people on the list were allowed in. "As soon as people started coming, about 6:45 p.m., w e'd take their name and the number of tickets they want­ ed," she said. "At 8 p.m., we started counting the num ber of empty seats, then sold those tickets." came w ithout Matt Azark, a sociology sophomore to w ho Saturday's performance, said he was surprised by the turnout. tickets "I really [thought] there'd be hardly any people here," said Azark, as he waited for extra tickets. "That's why I didn't buy tickets in advance. I had no idea. It kind of sucks. I was looking forward to watching it." Though Azark was able to get tick­ ets Saturday night, Jahnke said about 60 people were turned away due to the lack of space. For next year's per­ formances, Jahnke said she hopes they will be able to use Hogg Memorial Auditorium. "We have to start working with PAC," Jahnke said. "U Ts laigest lecture halls seat between 500 and 600. We have to get something significantly larger." Despite setbacks with the sound crew at F n d a /s show, Jahnke said die crowd remained supportive. "[Friday] night the sound guys were late, so the first third of the show was sound check," Jahnke said. "The audience was accepting. You could do no wrong [Friday] night. Everyone was really pumped." Jahnke said she's thrilled with the success of The Vagina Monologues and the popularity they gained on campus over the past month. "I've been amazed but delighted," she said. "I didn't know what to expect. I just wanted to tell everyone about it so they wouldn't get caught off guard. We kept the communication about what it was so it didn't scare people." Though addressing a very feminine issue, Jahnke said she received plenty of support and praise from males. "I caught glimpses of changes at UT," she said. "Men became very involved in working this." Sharath Viswonathan, an electrical engineering freshman, said he first heard of The Vagina Monologues last year when his mother and brother's girlfriend in Houston. Viswonathan said the per­ formance was eye-opening. saw a production "I'm speechless," he said. "I really don't know what to say. I definitely never thought about [vaginas] before. It never really crossed my minds what they went through. The women who played the roles were really, really good. They really seemed into the whole spirit of it all." Though the final tally had not been calculated, Jahnke said she believes the show has raised between $7,000 and $9,000, of which 25 percent will be donated to SafePlace, 25 percent to the Revolutionary Association of the Women in Afghanistan and 50 percent to the Settlement Home.

"Everytime I came to the wall, the noise got louder and louder. It was amazing knowing that you were swimming with 20 people behind you." As a testament to their team unity, the women marched into Saturday's final day of competition donning personalized team outfits. Their T-shirts were embla­ zoned with the hip-hop anthem "bling- bling" — a phrase that comes from a song die team listens to frequently and one they associate with their fun-loving attitudes. "What we talk about a lot is that in the moment of peak performance, you're basically having a party in your swim­ suits," Walker said. "It doesn't change whether it's a dual-meet, practice, confer­ ence or NCAAs. The 'bfing-bling' is all about fun." The Longhorn men captured the women's energy on their way to steam- rolling the competition and setting their own records. Sophomore Brendan Hansen set a new Big 12 record in the 200-yard breaststroke, eclipsing the record-mark he set last year. Hansen is also the American- and NCAA- record holder the same event. Longhorn freshman Rainer Kendrick added to the men's momentum by shat­ tering the previous Big 12 record in the 200-yard butterfly and capturing his sec­ ond individual Big 12 title. in "I'm still two weeks out, I feel," Hansen said. "Conference last year was two weeks later than this year's. So to be able to capture that regprd this early, shows that light at the end of the tunnel." Hansen and Kendrick shared the Big 12 men's swimmer of meet title with teammate, junior Chris Kemp. Texas men's head coach Eddie Reese said he worried that the road meet would affect his team's performance. "I talked to them about home-pool advantage," Reese said. "There's a defi­ nite advantage having people yell for you. But we like to come here, even though we're great rivals. The A&M crowd really took care of us. W hen we set records or won events, they applauded."

At the beginning of the search, they were optimistic that a private search party, Texas EquuSearch, w ould find her. But since EquuSearch rem oved them selves from tw o weeks ago, the family's cautious opti­ mism that Cooke w ould be found alive turned to the hope of sim ply learning the details of her disappear­ ance. the search "I think w e're clinging to the h ope that there is a possibility Rachel is still alive and that som eone is h o ld ­ ing her som ew here for w hatever rea­ son," said Elaine H etten h au sen , Rachel's aunt.

W hile C ooke's parents have slow ­ ly bu t surely resum ed a m ore norm al routine over the p ast few weeks as they start to go back to work, they say their lives will never go back to the way, they were. They need to keep on searching for their loved one, if only to reach some closure, they said.

D espite those efforts, however, no clues have been found, and all leads have led nowhere. But her parents said they w on't stop looking until they find her. "S om etim es p a rt of me thinks sh e 's just in C alifornia g oing to schribl, and she'll call me up," said Janet Cooke, w earing a gold neck­ lace that says "M om ," which Rachel Cooke gave to her a few years ago.

Sen. Ingrid Betancourt, an outspoken critic of the rebels, was being held along with her cam­ the paign manager, Clara Rojas, by Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.* Betancourt's spokeswoman, campaign Diana Rodriguez, said the senator's entourage ran into the rebel roadblock Saturday afternoon as they tried to reach San Vicente del Caguan, the main town inside a rebel zone the govern­ ment began attacking last week. President Andres Pastrana had ceded the zone to the FARC in 1998 as an incentive to end Colombia's war. He called off peace talks and ordered the army to retake the zone after guer­ rillas hijacked an airplane and kidnapped another, senator Wednesday. Three men traveling in the same car, includ­ ing two Colombians and a French photogra­ pher on assignment for Marie Claire magazine, were detained for several hours Saturday and released. French President Jacques Chirac telephoned Pastrana on Sunday to express his "deep con­ cern" over Betancourt's kidnapping. Chirac also spoke by telephone with U.N. Secretary- General Kofi Annan to ask him to try winning her release. Betancourt is well known in France, where she spent her college years. She married, a French diplomat from whom she is now divorced, and she published a best-selling memoir last year in French. The FARC has not confirmed or denied it has Betancourt. There has been little word from rebel leaders since Pastrana called off negotia­ tions with the 16,000-strong rebel army. Betancourt's abduction outside the zone underscored how tenuous government control is in southern Colombia as thousands of troops creep slowly into a rebel stronghold of jungle and pasture. Officials say they warned Betancourt not to attempt the trip. Airstrikes pounded hundreds of rebel tar­ gets on the first night of the campaign and troops reached San Vicente del Caguan on Saturday. But thousands of FARC fighters melt­ ed into the nearby countryside, popping out from time to time to set roadblocks. Troops say they're moving slowly to avoid ambushes and minefields. On Sunday, the army captured Vista Hermosa and Mesetas in the eastern half of the rebel zone after marching for more than 24 hours. "They're here! They're here!" residents shouted in Vista Hermosa as 20 heavily armed soldiers began patrolling the streets on a busy market day. One soldier stood with his assault rifle in front of a yellow billboard with the likeness of Cuban revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Later, army chief Gen. Jorge Mora flew by helicopter into the sweltering town. H e assured a crowd of 2,000 residents they w ould be safe now, saying, "You are Colombians, and you never ceased to be." Critics had called the rebel haven a quasi­ independent guerrilla republic. M any residents now worry they could be seen as traitors for having coexisted so long with the FARC. Little troop movement was seen in San Vicente del Caguan, the largest of the former rebel-held towns with 22,000 people. Residents welcomed police after a three-year absence. "Having the police back is something we've been waiting for. The government never should have left here," said Carlos Tabares, owner of a farming supply store. News of Betancourt's kidnapping overshad­ owed the low-intensity ground offensive against the FARC. Betancourt's mother went on television with an impassioned plea for the rebels to free her daughter, an activist who is near the bottom of presidential polls as the candidate of the "Oxygen-Green" party. Leading presidential candidates pleaded for Betancourt's release, as did Interior Minister Armando Estrada. But the government also suggested Betancourt had been "irresponsible" for travel­ ing into the war zone from the southern city of Florencia. In addition to the warning the mili­ tary had turned down her requests for ground and air transport to San Vicente. The crusading 40-year-old senator, who has railed against corrupt politicians as well as the guerrillas, is known for her brashness. She was one of four presidential candidates in into guerrilla territory traveled who February to cajole rebel and government peaie negotiators to make progress toward ending the 38-year war. At a round-table with senioi guerrilla commanders, she lambasted the FARC for getting involved in the cocaine trade to finance its war. Her entourage was stopped near the tow n of Montanitas, about 18 miles east of Florencia, according to Adair Lamprea, a campaign staff member who was one of the three men freed by the rebels. The group was outside the fot niei safe haven at the time and still at least a two hour drive from San Vicente del Caguan. The other two men were identified as Freiu h photographer Alain Keller and Colombian cameraman Mauricio Mesa, who was working for the campaign. In a telephone interview with The Associated Press, Lamprea said rebels put two trucks packed with explosives along the high way and had been stopping cars before the sen ator pulled up. He said the rebels waited for instructions from senior commanders before making off with Betancourt and Rojas. As she boarded the rebel truck, Lamprea said, "Betancourt appeared strong just like she always is, but nervous." Despite scandal and controversy, Olympic games end on high note By The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — The world came together for fun and games, only to get a big dose of scandal along with it. The Olympics came to a close Sunday after more than two weeks of memorable performances, Cold War flashbacks and one big controversy over two figure skating gold medals. On the snow and ice, athletes dis­ played brilliance and human frailty. Boosted by huge flag-waving crowds, the home team won medals at a rate beyond wildest expectations — and a black athlete claimed gold for the first time ever at the Winter Games. More than 1.6 million spectators and huge audiences followed the dramatic hap­ penings on NBC. "The field of play was superb," Salt Lake Olympic chief Mitt Romney said. Behind the scenes, though, the games couldn't escape controversy, turning ugly at times with accusations of favoritism and influence that belied the notion that 77 countries could come together in harmony. Protests led to the awarding of a sec­ ond gold medal in a pairs figure skating scandal that dominated the first week of the Olympics. Russia was so angry it threatened to pull out of the games in the final days because of decisions that cost the country two possible gold medals. In addition, discontent among Russian athletes and audiences led President Vladimir Putin to accuse judges of favoring American and Canadian athletes. Through it all, the 2,526 athletes who came with Olympic-sized dreams were content to perform. "We are extremely pleased," said International Olympic Committee pres­ ident Jacques Rogge. "They have done a superb job. The venues were superb. The crowds were warm and support­ ive. The athletes were very happy." American teams entered the gamés expecting to do well, l?ut they exceeded even the highest expectations. Having never before won more than 13 medals in the Winter Games, American athletes garnered a total of 34 this time around, much to the delight of home fans who braved security checks to pack moun­ tain slopes and city arenas. Skeleton team member Jimmy Shea slid to gold with his Olympian grandfa­ ther's funeral card in his helmet, and teen-ager Sarah Hughes performed gleefully on ice on her way to an improbable gold in figure skating. Even the biggest scandal would make it hard to forget the snowboard run that m ade Chris Klug a bronze medalist, 19 months after a liver trans­ plant saved his life. Or the moment when 39-year-old Brian Shimer finally won a bronze medal in bobsledding in his fifth and last Olympics. "This is a fairy-tale ending" Shimer said. "Who doesn't like that?" The M ormon Church kept its pledge to keep missionaries from spreading the word am ong Olympic visitors. In return it got a public relations bonanza from journalists who found a church that d id n 't seem as weird as they had believed. "Some of the misconceptions that people have about the church have made a giant step forward," said M. Russell Ballard, one of the church lead­ ers. "I think that we've made a lot of friend’s. I hope we have."

V I E W P O I N T Texan SG Endorsements I he Student Governm ent elections are a blend of pol­ ities, em otion, disdain and enthusiasm found only at the I niversity. Som e tirelessly toil for m onths to craft a mes­ sage that resonates with the student = = = = = = = = = = = = body — mostly to get dirty looks as they try to give you som e inform a­ tion about their candidacy on the West Mall Others are just in the process for the T-shirts and the social scene. The Texan endorses Katie King of the Achieve ticket President Vice President Regardless of intentions or m oti­ vations, the work put into making these elections go sm oothly — well, as sm ooth as any election goes on this cam pus — is m indboggling. Betw een slick T-shirts and catchy slogans, the good intentions of m any candidates often get lost. Im portant issues such as a student regent and a stronger presence at the C ap itol are all w orthw hile goals. How successful SG will be in these endeavors will depend on the organization and leadership of the executive officers. The Texan endorses Nada Antoun of the Achieve ticket and Travis Hunt of the Imagine ticket. =====s==^ ^ O ne of the more depressing aspects of this election was the shocking percentage of cam paign funds spent by the tickets on m eaningless T-shirts. The Achieve tick­ et is to be com m ended for spending the sm allest per­ centage of their money on T-shirts, although $2,700 on apparel for a cam paign still seem s som ewhat exorbitant. W hile the One-Year-At-Large position is very impor­ tant in terms of representation, The Daily Texan ultimate­ ly chose not to endorse candidates for this position. Due to the sheer number of candidates and num erous cam­ paigns, the Texan will only be endorsing presidential and vice-presidential candidates this election cycle. N evertheless, we strongly encourage students to find out as much as they can about at-large candidates and those running to represent specific colleges. This will require students to learn more than the standard push- card offers and pinning a candidate down and telling them your concerns. W hether you believe SG is a legit­ imate voice of students, currently it's the only voice the adm inistration listens to, so it's better to have a strong SG — at least as insurance. Each candidate for president is im m ensely qualified and is passionate about representing students. In fact, the depth of experience am ong the candidates made these endorsem ents all the more difficult. Katie King of Achieve has a strong grasp of the need for SG to becom e a bigger influence at the Capitol. King has a history of leadership on cam pus and was very pro­ fessional in her demeanor. The only conceivable draw­ back to King is that she m ay be too much of an insider already. 1 lowever, King seem ed genuinely concerned about instigating som e change and lending SG some real influence in the Legislature. M andy Price of Action brings a youthful energy to the election and has already proven herself to be a leader on cam pus in her short time here. Price had a healthy skep­ ticism of the student fee and showed a real concern for standing up to the adm inistration when students seem m arginalized. Price, like most candidates, was som e­ what vague on specific objectives. Kevin Robnett is very concerned about having SG and the C abinet of College Councils work m ore in harmony to present a stronger student voice. If successful, having the tw o organizations work together would indeed be a boon to any student led initiatives. W hether it will ever happen is another story. Robnett seem s almost too focused on the idea of cam pus life council — a worthy goal hut not the most significant. Sonia N ezam zadeh showed promise in being some­ one who pays attention to the concerns of those who aren't norm ally involved with SG. Her enthusiastic con­ cern for the student body will serve her in trying to bring in factions not com fortable with associating with the SG . W hile a little vague when pressed for specific topics, her passion would move issues along as they arise. O verall, the Editorial Board felt the vice-presidential candidates had more to offer in the way of concrete ideas. Nada Antoun had an im pressive knowledge of the political process of SG and the Texas Legislature. Seth Kovar was the only candidate to address the paramount issue of freedom of speech on campus. Stacy Kounelias was dedicated to bringing often fractious elem ents of the student body together to work with SG. Travis Hunt was determ ined to grease the wheels of the legislative system and im prove the work ethic within SG. W hile you can only vote for one candidate, we feel Antoun and Hunt are equally qualified for the job. Both possess the qualities to be an effective vice president, and we did not feel com fortable selecting one over the other. Regardless of whether or not you believe SG is legiti­ mate vehicle to represent the students, these elections are im portant. C urrently SG is the only student organi­ zation to which the adm inistration listens. So it's better to have a strong SG than ignore the polls and have a weak one next year. There are some significant issues on the horizon for the University. Standardized testing and the price of higher education are but a few. Take 10 m in­ utes out of your day to learn som ething about these can­ didates so that the student body isn't ignored more so than it already is. Opinion U.S. should withdraw from United Nations By James Watkins Daily Texan Columnist At the surface, the United N ations can appear to be a benevolent entity. R ep re sen tativ es o f n atio n s sh ou ld com e together and d iscuss in tern a­ tional issues in ord er to work tow ard solvin g the m any problem s of this w o rld , so h av in g an o rg an izatio n such as the U nited N ations can seem like a good idea. However, the perception that many people have of the United Nations is not an accurate one. The U nited Nations is a fascistic regim e and every single American should be united in opposition to this international organ­ ization. The United Nations has one goal: com p lete control over every nation of this world. T he U nited N a tio n s w ants our w eap o n s. They do not ju st w ant gu ns; they w ant all form s of w eapons o f m ass In U.S. d e stru ctio n . D epartm ent of State P ublication 7277 from 1961, it is proposed that the U nited States and all other nations relinquish their w ar-m aking cap ab il­ itie s to the United N ations, so that the United N ations can effectively s e ttle d isp u tes and w ork tow ard m aking this w orld a peaceful one. T he docum ent ad vocates the use of a to m ain tain U .N . ’ "P ea ce F o rce" th eir ord er. "A s sta te s relin q u ish The truth is that if the United Nations gains control o f the weapons o f this country, the people o f the United States will become the United Nations’ slaves arm s, the United N ations m ust be progressively strengthened in ord er to im prove its cap acity to assu re in tern atio n al security and the p e ace­ ful settlem ent of d isp u tes," says the proposal. On the United N atio n 's own Web site, one can find a hand book that explains how to destroy sm all arm s, lig h t w eap ons, am m u n itio n and exp losiv es. In the forew ord to the handbook, U nd er-Secretary G eneral for D isarm am en t A ffairs Ja y a n th a D hanapala claim s that w eapons m ust be seized and destroyed in ord er to prevent arm ed conflicts in the future. It is easy to conclude th at the U nited N ations w ants to be the one that con­ fiscates and destroys these w eapons. At first, one mi^ht conclude that this proposal makes sense. However, the truth is that if the United Nations gains control of the weapons of this country, the people of the United States will become the United Nations' slaves. The United Nations would have an enor­ mous power over us, because we would be unable to defend ourselves from those who wish us harm. The reason Second our C onstitution has Amendment is so law-abiding citizens can defend themselves. N ot surprising­ ly, the United Nations, does not declare that people have a right to bear arms in its Universal D eclaration of Human Rights. a A n o th e r little -k n o w n fact about the U nited N ations is th at they par­ ticip ate w ith the C h in ese g o v e rn ­ m ent in p erform ing abo rtio n s upon w om en forcibly. China only allow s w om en to bear one ch ild , and those th at becom e pregnant a second time are forced to undergo an abortion. The U .N . Population Fund p artici­ pates w ith C hina in th ese cruel and d e-hum anizing acts. T h e fund has received tens o f m illio n s of d ollars of U.S. su p p ort in the p ast. The U.S. governm ent should d efund this pro­ gram n ow and in the future. to Speaking of abortion, last year the Human Rights C om m ission of the United Nations petitioned the country of G uatem ala legalize abortion. law prohibits abortion G uatem alan except under extrem e circumstances. The United States was recently ejected from the HRC, and Sudan was granted the their former seat. Sudan practices slavery to this day. China, Cuba, Russia, Libya, Syria and Vietnam also hold seats on the HRC. Regardless whether or not abortion should be legal in Guatemala, the HRC has no business telling Guatemala or any other nation what their laws should be. The U nited N ations has a set of stan d ard s that they w an t to im pose on every nation of th is w orld. The people o f this n atio n m u st w ake up to the fact that the U nited N ations m ust be opposed at all costs. T he U.S. im m ed iately sh o u ld g o v e rn m en t stop funding this org anizatio n , and oppose the U.N. efforts to take away the sovereig n ty of th is nation and others throu ghou t the w orld.

THE FIRING LINE Editorial responsibility In my capacity as a teacher of media stud­ ies, a media analyst and a UT alumna, I was appalled to read Monty Markland's column. Known for its liberal campus, UC has tradi­ tionally offered offbeat course's such as a tire- walking seminar and blues guitar education through its Experimental College program. Markland clearlv refuses to acknowledge the possibilities of an education beyond the staid ivory tower curriculum of "traditional" academic courses. While he is certainly enti­ tled to his insular judgements, the cursory research and the mishandled facts in his col­ umn reflect poorly on editorial judgement at The Daily Texan. Markland quoted facts that he obviously just glanced at on the various Web sites condemning this episode and his neglect of cautious research resounds throughout the column. On the bnghter side, I was reassured of The Daily Texan's commitment to hard-hit­ ting journalism by the columns printed in the Feb. 21 edition. Todd Willis shows exemplary in-depth research and analysis of the Shays-Meehan bill and the driving need for de facto cam­ paign finance reform. The piece on toxic WTC waste by Radhika Mitra is equally commendable in its strong voice against an outrageous policy of environmental dicta­ torship by the United States. The editorial page sets the tone for a newspaper's credibility and Tlw Daily Texan clearly has a pool of dedicated editorial columnists. Hopefully, they will strive to guard against easy sensationalism and culti­ vate a lasting credible voice. Nancy Phuong Dallas U T s real 'black' agenda The University has postured itself as vir­ tually fanatical in its attempt to romance black educators to the University. "Oh, but there simply are not enough African Americans getting doctorates" was the whine served by President Faulkner at a dinner for student leaders of color last year. Oh, there is too much competition for the few that are qualified. OK they just keep going elsewhere. The same is said when the University is chastised for not reflecting the demograph­ ics of the state in its student population. We are told Hopwood is just something that simply happened to them. At the same time we bemoan the alleged drought of qualified black candidates, we forget the University's hiring of a white woman with fictitious credentials. But at some point, the lamentations of the dearth of educated black people must end. At some point, it is necessary to look at the University. At some point, we need to hold the University accountable for what it is unable to achieve. Kevin Foster, formerly an instructor at the University, was forced to leave after his compelling petitions to be promoted from the deprived designation of temporary pro­ fessor were thwarted. Foster wanted to stay. He just could no longer afford to. His digni­ ty and pocketbook had suffered enough. And now Paula Poindexter, a practiced, adept black woman, too has been shorn — first of a place in the administration and now of the ranks of full professorship. It is not enough to do a little wooing and just get black professors here. It is not enough to take advantage of the depressed numbers of traditionally underrepresented populations. It is not enough to clench to the ideals without maneuvering its reality. But in this calamitous age of victim blam­ ing, the University abdicates responsibility and faults a situation that simply is untrue. There are people of color with doctorates. They are just choosing not to come here. And certainly why should they? The University mistreats and neglects the ones they already have. Shamiso Maswoswe President, UT chapter, National Association of Black Journalists A matter of maturity I'm not the type of person who makes it a point to attack the administration, but in reading Mr. Mathes' quotes (SG form s regent task force, Feb. 21) regarding a student on the Board of Regents, I simply cannot help it. To say that among 50,000 students, not one of us "could possibly bring [the requisite] maturity to the board" is fiercely stunning. It's a statement that I feel is either incredibly naive or a deliberate lie. As I read it again and again, I asked, "Are these words actu­ ally coming out of his mouth?!" It implies that no student is capable of making highly responsible decisions. Well then, what is the point of even hav­ ing representation? The more often I hear criticisms that SG can't get anything done, the more I wonder if the administration is letting them? The more I wonder if we're seriously being taken as a political voice?

Also, what is the problem with having a "pro-student agenda?" If the board isn't designed to look out for the best interests of the students first, then it has no business being there. We are what the University is designed for. If we were all responsible enough to be accepted into to this highly- acclaimed university, then there must be at least one student who has enough maturity to represent us. Otherwise, this institution is just discrediting itself, and that doesn't attract prospective students. Connor McGee Government sophomore Columns in contention The latest articles by Todd Willis (Shays- Meehan muzzles candidates, Feb. 21) and Radika Mitra (Toxic WTC wastes get dumped on Asian countries, Feb. 21), served no effec­ tive purpose whatsoever. Willis writes about the loopholes of the Shays-Meehan bill, a topic that has been written about in so many columns by national columnists that it definitely did not merit sudden focus in your current edition. It brought absolutely nothing new to the table. Perhaps Willis wanted to give us all a legislative lesson in campaign finance reform because the only visible purpose of the column was the painstaking detailing of the bills and provisos. In which case, why was the piece pretending to be an opinion piece? Mr. Willis, old facts and worn out viewpoints can hardly pass off as an effec­ tive editorial to the discerning reader. Mitra's column loses its effectiveness in the exact opposite manner. The subject mat­ ter is new and revelatory no doubt. It's the type of news that the self serving US. media conceals from the public and hence it is promising that a student journalist has tried to investigate and expose a low key issue. But what was the purpose of the piece? It pointed fingers at the United States when the United States is certainly not the only accused in the story. The greatest onus of die blame must fall on the Asians who are willing to grab any amount and any kind of western export as long as the dol­ lars keep rolling in to fluff their weak economies. Mitra misses that point entirely.

In the nearly two years since that day, | have had an experience in every editorial department at the Texan. The bulk of my experience has been in production. I initially worked as a makeup editor but soon began working on the copy desk a n d then in the graphics department. This summer, I worked as design editor three days a week and as a general reporter on my two days off, culminating in a three-part enterprise series the only senes to run during the semester. I've written for the Focus a n d Entertainment departments, I have been actively involved in journalism for nearly five years. In that time, I have experienced the small-town flavor of a low-power radio station, written news and typed obituaries for a community new spaper near Dallas, and contributed heavily to The Daily Texan. This array of experience has allowed me a perspective on journalism that qualifies me to act as editor of the newspaper and implement a variety of plans to m ake the Texan a visible player in the University community. O n e aspect of the newspaper that I would em phasize if elected editor would be an increase in in-depth stories on the University and the city of Austin. The economic realities of our current times have limited the length of newspapers that are printed. W e must utilize our space in the best w ay pos worked with the Sports department to produce sports features and design packages, and worked with the Editorial department on several in-depth issues. A s associate managing editor last fall, I helped oversee the production of the entire newspaper. This semester, as art director, I supervise the visual elements of the paper: photo, graphics, news and design, while working with every department to make sure the paper is doin g all it can to serve its readers. I believe that my experience qualifies me for the position — and I believe my goals for what the Texan can become make me the right choice. The Texan has enjoyed a long tradition of excellence. I hope to continue in the successes of the past, and will make it my goal to build on them. M y broad base of experience will allow me to work closely with the m anaging editor to lead the paper to even greater accomplishments. A m o n g my goals for the position of editor are: sible to bring informative and insightful information to our readers. Every resource at our disposal must be used to its fullest potential, especially the documents that can be obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. A complaint that the Texan — and the media as a whole — hears often is that there is a lack of diversity and perspective on the staff of the Texan. If elected editor, I will spearhead a push to add as m any perspectives as possible to the newsroom. The Texan must reach out to the University community we cannot wait for them to come to us. Representatives from the Texan should reach out beyond the College of Communication and the basement. W e must g o to the student groups and spread recruiting information all over campus. There should be as many tryout flyers up in Robert Lee M o o re Hall as there are in the Jesse H. Jones Communication Center. 1. Making the Opinion page accessible to more students and covering a broader variety of issues, while balancing H aving w orked in a variety of media both on- and off-cam pus, I have noticed the overlap the role of the Texan as a watchdog over the University with its responsibility to its readers by: • writing editorials that reflect Texan news coverage; • focusing ion issues relevant to students, faculty and staff; • redesigning the page; and • introducing a weekly humor column. between them. If elected editor, I will make it a go al to promote unity under the TSP umbrella. KVRX, KVR-TV, the Texan, and the Cactus should not compete but rather share resources. The professional media is full of exam ples of newspapers w o rking with affiliated television and radio stations. TSP is providing a disservice to its volunteers a n d em ployees if this reality is not recognized and student journalists are not given a chance to experience first-hand the new era of the hybridization of 2. Committing to cultural diversity and minority representation both in news coverage and in the makeup of our staff 3. Reaching out to the community by o rganizing monthly meetings between the Texan Editorial Board media. and campus leaders, students, faculty and staff 4. An increased partnership with the managing editor and news staff to ensure news and editorial coverage match up. These are my goals. But I am a firm believer that the Texan should be the voice of all students at the University. So I encourage you, the student body, to lake an active role in your newspaper by telling me what you would like to see in the Texan. Please visit my W eb site at www.votejesse.com and tell me how your newspaper can better serve the student body. M ost importantly, I encourage you to vote. With recent allegations that students are being left out of adminis­ Finally, I would like to propose that the Texan become involved in the community surrounding the campus. M a n y w orking at the Texan come from white, suburban backgrounds and have had little con tact with the urban world that lies a few blocks to the east of Interstate 35. I have worked as a substi tute teacher in the Austin Independent School District for nearly a year now, and the experience has left an indelible im pression on my perspective of the world. I propose that the Texan reaches out to schools to provide much-needed positive role models. A simple gesture of taking an hour to speak to a journalism class or allow ing students to tour the Texan as a reward could go miles in shaping the life trative decisions at the University, it is imperative that you use your voice — y o u r vote — to its fullest capacity. of a child. See you on the cam paign trail. Texas Fight! These are my plans for the Texan as the newspaper moves on in its second century. TSP Board, Place 1 (unexpired term) TSP Board, Place 1 (unexpired term) TSP Board, Place 1 (u n e x p ire d term) Laura Cruzada Jim Dallas W h a t is the definition of a good stu­ dent? Is it som eone w h o has a perfect G P A ? Is it som eone w h o solemnly devotes his time into his education to reap the fruits of his la b o r one day? That is not my definition of a student. W ith a population spilling over 5 0 ,0 0 0 , being a good student at the University of Texas is more than just go in g to class. It is experiencing the true life and dynam ic relationships that surround our University. It is taking a d va n ta ge of the diverse a n d rich environ­ ment that exists as our society. I define myself a n d revolve my life aroun d the relationships a n d experiences that take place here at the University. Building more relationships is my m ission. M ain ta in in g those relationships is m y challenge. The Texas Student Publications B o a rd is my next target. The relationships I will build on the bo ard a re parallel to rela­ tionships I will experience in my future career in public relations. . These are relationships between the students (the public), the m edia industry (the organ ization ) and, of course, the board (the decision makers). S o you see, my excitement does not stem from the leadership nature of this position o r from the opportunity o f putting this on my resume. M y excitement is a manifestation of the goals that define me. TSP Board, Place 4 Jonathan C. Lee Howdy! M y name is Jonathan Lee, and I'm running for an at-Large position on the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. I have previous expen- ence as an employee of the Texas Student Publications as a general news reporter for The Daily Texan in the spring semester of 1997. | have met many dignitaries, including Sen. Hillary Clinton, the U.S. senators of Texas (Hutchison and Gramm), former UT chancellor William Cunningham and various state representatives and senators. I am currently a government senior in the College of Liberal Arts, but will be completing a second major in economics in about two years. During my colle­ giate career, I have been involved in many leadership, campus, community, and educational programs. M y previous involvement includes Student Government, Texas Union committee, and various leadership programs sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Students. In Student Government, I have previously been involved with the Freshman Leadership Organization, Legislative Relations Agency, University Policy Committee and Student Services Committee. Student activities that I currently am involved with or previously have been involved with include: University Flying Club, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, University Council of Student Organization, Greek Impact, Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, Greek Week, Project ReachOut, Longhorn Skiers, University Ski Club, Longhorn Linebackers and Longhorn Singers. Some personal projects that I'm currently working on include the establishment of the Texas Inter-Greek Association, the establishment of the Texas LecxJership Institute, and the reorganization of the University Council of Student Organizations. Recently, I was selected as a torchbearer for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics for my dedication to the campus and community. "Jonathan has been involved in the communi­ ty for many years. He has participated and often organized numerous charity, community/ and educational pro­ grams. He encouraged others to be involved. He has inspired many by example and by his optimism. Often unrecognized, his participation and enthusiasm has encouraged many others to better themselves and the com­ munity. Hte is respected for his continuous dedication and personal sacrifices to improve the community. M y overall goal as a student leader at this University has been to prom ote services to better reach out to both students and student organizations. In addition, I have experience in being creative in developing ideas to better finance organizations. If I could vision one major change to the Texas Student Publications, I w ould like to see The Daily Texan to have a special weekly section dedicated to the student organizations. In addition to my experience as a reporter of The Daily Texan, I have an understanding of the role of the Texas Student Publications overseeing the student newspaper (Daily Texan), humor magazine (Texas Travesty), radio (KVRX), and television (I^VR-TV). I am a strong advocate for the freedom of the press. I have experience in being creative in finding ways to keep cost down or bing in more revenue to fond new ideas. I am the best candidate with a true vision of reaching out to students, have the best experience in connecting with the cam ­ pus and surrounding community, and have the best understanding of the needs of the student body. I gained tremendous respect for The Daily Texan as an institution as well as for Texan staffers while working in the Texan basement. O u r paper is one of the most well-respected student publications in the country, and it is also one of the best educational experiences as the University of Texas. Like all of our student publications, it is something to be proud of. Recent budget problems, created primarily by the nationwide eco­ nomic slump, have m ade the TSP Board somewhat hesitant to allocate money to create jobs for interested students. A s a permanent staff member, I was deeply saddened last semester that we were forced to regularly send home talented page designers due to a lack of funding. W hile tough times necessitate shared sacrifice, I strongly believe that protecting educational opportunity (as well as economic security) for students must be the first and most important goal of the board. Furthermore, I agree strongly with m any Texan employees that the board should spend more time re-evaluating the wisdom of making the Texan editor an elected position. At the same time, however, I under­ stand that many students and faculty members at the University (and especially in the College of Communication) are skeptical of giving up on this time-honored tradition. Accordingly, I would like the opportuni­ ty to play a ro^e ' n forg¡ng a compromise that will further the inde­ pendence and journalistic integrity of The Daily Texan. While I do not claim to have all the answers, I feel my experience on the receiving end of TSP Board policy allows me to see things in impor­ tant and different ways that can and must be represented on the Board. (Photo unavailable) T exas S tudent P ublications Sergio Chopo I hope that Texas Student Publications will consider my application as a candidate for the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees Student Member from the College of Communication. I feel that I am a qualified candidate. I hav* > worked at two newspapers and a television station in the private sector. I have also seen the business side and creative sides of TSP — having worked at The Daily Texan and KVRX. Readers should know about the great effort it takes to get the Texan from the newsroom to the newsstand every morning before 8 a.m. classes. Too often the dedication, skills and determination of TSP staff go unrecognized, so here goes an attempt to get their names printed in the Texan (for the first time2) Angie Lombrano (the coolest boss and inserting machine wizard), Marvin O'Neal and Dale "Beaver" Loyd (they know the quirky Texan printing press better than most people know their mothers), Art Villanueva (who some nights it seemed heroically delivered all 25,000 copies of the Texan by himself), Dave Hermann (the king of composing), and Richard Finnell (is there anything he doesn't know about?). I was lucky to work and learn from these people for almost three years Sure, there were many nights when it seemed that the Texan would not make it to the newsstands on time. But thanks to determination, great feats of improvisation, and an unbroken spirit of teamwork between these people, the Texan came out every morning and everyone breathed a great sigh of relief when the last delivery truck left the loading area. There were also some nights I wrote an article for the Texan, went home, h ad dinner or went out with friends, and then came back to work on the printing press, watching 20 ,0 0 0 copies of the article wiz by me on the press. N ot m any Texan staffers claim that. I believe that my time at TSP has been quite rewarding and also allowed me to meet some of the best friends I have ever known in my whole life I would like to see this tradition to continue for other students as well Thank you for your consideration. TSP Board, Places 2 & 3 TSP Board, Places 2 & 3 Colemon Lewis I am writing in interest of joining the Texas Student Publications Board. I have wanted to become involved with Texas publications for some time and believe this is the best opportunity. M y belief is that the publications serve to provide the stu­ dent body and community with information on issues around cam­ pus and the world that have an impact on our lives. I would like to Brian J. Ferguson This serves as my letter of intent. I am a team player — go Horns! see each publication grow in the next few years and become more self sufficient in the way they are financed. I believe this can be achieved through better and. more rigorous advertising incentives. It is in the best interest of the students and the University of Texas to have strong publications that provide mediums in which we can all speak and be heard freely about any interest and issues that may arise, pertinent to everyone. These issues between students and the administration would not be heard and discussed without the pub­ lications that have served this University for so long. In order to do so, it would seem best that they be able to control their own finan­ cial destinies. I am also interested in seeing the newspaper contin­ ue developing into the best daily college paper in the nation through expansion and objective, open-minded reports. I am seek­ ing a position on the board to uphold these principles and to pro­ vide an unbiased voice for all students on the board.

Luciana Castro/ Daily Texan Staff - Í - i * 1 *• m : Faulkner, government professor speak at UT Memorial Lecture By Peter Walker Daily Texan Staff UT President Larry Faulkner discussed the U niversity's need for m ore funding from the Texas Legislature and UT g o v ern m en t professor Walter B urnham discussed th e Republican P arty's dom ination of state and national politics at the V.O. Key Jr. Memorial Lecture Friday. Faulkner used the lecture, w hich com m em orates the life of one of the D epartm ent of G overnm ent's m ost distinguished graduates, to discuss the financial challenges facing the University. Faulkner said he is w ary of the Texas Legislature possibly reallocating m illions of dollars of "excellence funding" from the U niversity to other state schools such as the U niversity of H ouston and Texas Tech University. Faulkner testified on that sam e subject before a legislative com m ittee on higher educa­ tion funding last Thursday. "It7s a classic issue of configuring public resources to public ends in a situation w here the goals are not clear," Faulkner said. Faulkner ad d e d that the issue of supporting Texas higher education in the national arena is com plicated by the "trem en­ dous regionalism in this state." "Texas is trying to p u t all of this together and find w ays to build strength in other places, a n d w hat w e're trying to do is keep them from taking us and Texas A&M apart w hile doing it," he said. For the state to develop four or five nationally com petitive universities, it w ould need to lay o u t a plan and stan d by it for several decades, Faulkner said. "Statements like, 'They should all be flagships/ are unreal­ istic. We know that won't happen," he said. After Faulkner's keynote address, Burnham delivered a lecture on the future of politics in the United States. Burnham said he expects the rest of the decade to be marked by Republican dominance in both national and state politics. "rrhe age of Lyndon Johnson is indeed as far back as the age of Abe Lincoln," he said, commenting on the decreased power the Democratic Party now has in the state. Burnham also offered his prediction for the next presiden­ tial election. "In 2004, Bush will not lose, barring disaster," he said. V.O. Key Jr. earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in 1929 and 1930 from the UT Department of Government. His essay, "A Theory of Critical Elections," spawned volumes of literature in the area of voting and election theory. It remains one of the most widely read essays in the field. Mujibur Rehman Sheikh, a government graduate student, helped organize the lecture. "I encourage the University to establish V.O. Key Memorial Lecture series in years to come to commemorate the govern­ ment department's greatest graduate," Rehman said. Rehman added that the lecture series could act as a source of inspiration to UT government students, especially those from other parts of the world. "If the department and administration develop it, it could become a premier intellectual event," Rehman said. Sausage or bacon. Available 11 pm - 11 a jn. Offer good at any participating Whataburger.

The stop was a break from the campaign trail for Kirk, who spoke at the high school of the importance of Black History Month and the need for people to achieve their full potential. "No matter who you study as a history- maker, you have to be struck by the fact that history is made by ordinary people who rise to the challenge in special moments in their lives," he said. "Very rarely did any of them have an anticipation at the moment ... that they were doing this to make history." Kirk said there is power in every individ­ ual. He used Rosa Parks as an example of an ordinary person achieving greatness, whose refusal to give up her seat on a bus to a white individual led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, on e of the m ost m em orable events during the civil rights m ovem ent of the 1960s. Students should study history backwards, Kirk said, so they can understand how past leaders sh aped the current of life today rather than study a single period in history as sepa­ rate from culture now. Kirk, the first black m ayor of Dallas, grad­ uated from A ustin's Reagan High School in 1972. Black History Month, he said, is important so people can get a complete history of the nation rather than one excluding the contri- butioas of groups of people. "H aving an incomplete history is having a flawed history, so African-American history month is not so much for African Americans a s it is an opportunity for all Am ericans to understand the contributions of all the peo­ ple that have m ade this nation great," he said. In addition, Kirk said m ore em ph asis should be placed on increasing the quality and num ber of teachers in schools. Graduating University students should be offered breaks on student loans if they com­ mit to about two years of teaching in the nation's schools, Kirk said. Enc Howell, a high school senior, said stu­ dents need to invest in what they do if they want to succeed, adding that students should look backward to see how far they have come and realize they have great potential. "Some kids will árop out not knowing that they could grow up and become somebody," he said. "IFs still a problem and it will be for a pretty long time, but as soon as people start to realize what they have and what they need to get, it should change." Courtney Simms, a high school junior, said certain groups in her school do not commu­ nicate with other groups, and therefore ideas are never shared. "If we start to reach out, then we would discover what there is about everyone else and their uniqueness in all their qualities that might help someone else reach their full potential," she said. Protestors speak out against detainment of ethnic minorities by federal agencies By Neaha Raol Daily Texan Staff About 100 members of the Austin commu­ nity gathered at the Capitol Saturday to protest and Naturalization Service detainment of more than 1,000 ethnic minorities. Immigration and FBI The rally, organized by the Asian American Relations Group at the University, was part of the National Day of Solidarity with Muslim, Arab and South Asian immigrants. The rally was preceded by a march from Guadalupe Park to the Capitol. AARG member Tabraiz Muzaffar, who is Muslim, said the media doesn't pay attention to the number of people who are in custody. "This is a really important issue that no one has been talking about," said Muzaffar, a math and history senior. "I think having a rally, a public demonstration, is a way to get more people to talk about it and want to take more action." Tracy Thottam, a communication sciences and disorders senior and AARG member, said a domestic war exists, arguing those detained have been found guilty of nothing more than immigration violations. "Normally this would be illegal, to take them out of their houses and away from their families without just cause, but it is the [USA] PATRIOT Act that makes this okay," Thottam said. "It is sickening to think that a group like this that is so large can be unfairly discrimi­ nated against." Thottam said she is frustrated with the sys- Students from Austin High School talk with Ron Kirk, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, in the school’s library Friday.

Forbes/Daily Texan Staff ‘Digital divide’ discussed at LBJ forum By Anita Powell Daily Texan Staff Scholars, students and public policy and technology professionals gathered last weekend for the sixth annu­ al Barbara Jordan National Forum on Public Policy. The two-and-a-half day forum, held at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, focused on "The Digital Divide: Myth, Metaphor, & Reality," addressing the limitations on technological advancement due to the digital divide — the barrier between those who benefit from new technology and those who don't. "The ultimate goal is that forum participants return to their schools, workplaces and communities with practi­ cal ideas of what they can do to narrow the digital divide and level the playing field," said forum chairman Cassius Johnson, a master's candidate in public affairs and the LBJ School 2001 Barbara Jordan Scholar. The forum focused on narrowing the divide across radal, age, educational and economic lines and featured workshops such as "The Senior Citizen: A ge and the "Telecommunications and and Digital Divide" Economic Development." Through the workshops, participants identified prac­ tices that would help ensure equitable access to digital technologies, with focus on the disabled, rural commu­ nities and the poor. The forum also discussed how developing nations could benefit from removal of the digital divide. Lud Baines Johnson, daughter of former President Johnson, delivered the opening address. Speakers and partidpants said the ideas of B a rb a ra Jordan were a driving force at the forum, particularly her statement during a 1985 symposium at the LBJ School of Public Affairs that "the imperative is to define what is right and do it." Thomas Freeman, a professor at Texas Southern University and Barbara Jordan's speech coach and men­ tor, said Jordan contributed to public policy by increas­ ing awareness of important issues. Alene Riley, 2002 Barbara Jordan Scholar and mas­ ter's candidate in public policy, discussed the issues behind the digital divide, riting lack of diversity in schools, educational inequalities, issues in health care and socioeconomic dividers, among others. "I'm dissatisfied with the existence of the digital divide," Riley said. Riley said. However, the forum is a step in the right direction, "Surely this is what LBJ would have Wanted — a room full of different races, ages, and backgrounds com­ memorating his dear friend, Barbara Charline Jordan," Riley said. "Although [Jordan] is not with u s here in the flesh, she is here in spirit." tern at large because it is one in which racism is accepted. "We are now doing things that were once considered untraditional," Thottam said. "Well, yeah, it's a desperate time, but that doesn't mean your neighbor is evil." Thottam said Asian-Americans and other ethnic minorities must fight for equal treat­ ment under the law. "With everything that has been going on post-Sept. 11, this is the time for brown peo­ ple," Thottam said. "This is our time to stand up for those rights that have slowly slipped away in the past years." Adam Bitter, Young Conservatives of Texas University chapter chairman, said the gov­ ernment is countering terrorism efficiently. "What happened on Sept. 11 was tragic, but it was also an eye-opener," Bitter said. "We realized that there are holes in our sys­ tem, and one of those systems is Immigration and Naturalization Services. Now we are try­ ing to fix that system." Bitter said the government is simply doing its job, arresting people who have violated immigration violations. "[The detainment] is just, and we are treat­ ing them fairly," Bitter said. "The fact is, we treat these individuals extremely well com­ pared to other countries." Lily Hughes, a member of the International Socialist Organization, said Arabs every­ where are facing intimidation because of a biased notion of security. "I am concerned with the way they have expanded justice to better prosecute, or so-called prosecute, terrorists by targeting minorities," Hughes said. "That is racial scapegoating." Hughes said the government is responsible for the ignorance of the general public. "[People] can't persecute a group of people based on the acts of a few individuals," Hughes said. "It is wrong and even violent. Mosques have been bombed and people killed, and it is all because of the climate cre­ ated by our government." Rahuk Mahajan, a physics doctoral candi­ date, spoke at the rally, stressing the need for more people to speak out and raising the pos­ sibility of a new civil rights movement. "Unfortunately, this massive violation of civil rights is going unopposed, in the streets and in the government," Mahajan said. "All of these are basic violations of people's civil rights that are being done based on ethnicity." www.SmartTravel.coni/AiistinTravel Packages starting at * 3 9 9 W V X;/ ■'■■J '■ -■?.

S ee Pag* 11 The Daiut Texan S ports Monday February 25, 2002 Texas’ run production still strong in weekend sweep By Jeff Sturdevant Daily Texan Staff The offensive onslaught continued for the Texas baseball team as it clinched, the sweep of its weekend series against the Loyola Marymount Lions on Sunday with an 8-2 vic­ tory. The Lions (4-8) hung on for three and one- half innings on Sunday before the Longhorn (12-2) hitters awakened with a three-run, two- out rally in the bottom of the fourth inning. "What made our offense productive today was two-out hitting," said Texas head coach Augie Garrido. "We scored a lot of our runs when two were out." Texas senior Jeff Ontiveros, off to a slow start this season, got things moving for the Horns in the bottom of the fourth inning with a solo home run deep to right-center field. The home run was his first of the season. "It's been a tough time for me, lately," Ontiveros said of his slump at the plate. "Everything I've been doing was right; my timing was just a little off. But I came out here and hit the ball really hard today." Ontiveros ended the game 3-for-4 with three RBI, missing hitting for the cycle by just a triple. Thef Round Rock native also reached base in every at-bat he had Sunday. "Jeff is the kind of player who can carry a team on any given day or any given week," Garrido said. "He's been building toward this [type of production] for the last few weeks." Texas went on to score two more runs in the fourth after the Ontiveros home run, and post­ ed another three-run inning in the fifth to pull away from the Lions. Ontiveros wasn't the only Texas batter to show power this weekend, though, as Chris Carmichael, Ryan Hubele and J.D. Reininger all went yard in Saturday's game. Reininger's shot ended five shutout innings for Texas offensively, and put him in a tie with Michael Hollimon for the team lead in home runs with three. "I'm seeing the ball real well right now," Reininger said. cylinders this weekend, but the Texas pitching staff also had an outstanding weekend, hold­ ing Loyola Marymount to a combined six runs in the three games. Sophomore Justin Simmons started the weekend off for the Texas staff by tossing a three-hit, one-run game in Friday's 10-1 win. Saturday, Alan Bomer took the mound. And while admittedly struggling with all three of his pitches, the junior was 1 >le to hold the Lions to three runs in seven and two-thirds innings of work, as Texas rolled 17-3. The win was Bomer's third on the season.

Horns cruise on Senior Day, 91-63 By Mercedes Parker Daily Texan Staff Texas senior Kenya Larkin said her team had already been embarrassed by the Aggies ear­ lier this season, and they defi­ nitely didn't want that to hap­ pen again — especially on Senior Day at the Erwin Center. With that attitude, the No. 15 Longhorns handily defeated the Aggies Saturday, 91-63, before 9,658 fans. "You only want to be embar­ rassed once a season, and we em barrassed at A&M," said, referring to Texas' 70-65 loss to A&M on Feb. 2. senior Larkin ourselves With the win, Texas (18-8, 9-6 Big 12) avoided its first regular- season sweep by Texas A&M (13-14, 5-10) in seven years. Freshman Heather Schreiber led the Horns with 16 points and seven rebounds, her 23rd game of the season, to score in double Sophomore Stacy Stephens had 14 points, and junior Tai Dillard had a sea­ son-high 13 points. figures. Texas, who committed 27 turnovers and gave up 23 steals to A&M in their last meeting, was much more in control of the Aggies' stingy half-court trap on Saturday. This time, Texas had 12 steals, and A&M had 24 turnovers. "We just did a few things to prepare ourselves for their press in a different way," Texas head coach Jody Conradt said. "It's all about confidence and being calm and poised, and I thought we were." Meanwhile, Aggie head coach Peggy Gillom said her team wasn't in allowing Texas its biggest point total of the season. there defensively "I don't think our defense showed up, and they were [hit­ ting] on all cylinders," Gillom said. "Their level of intensity went from the first player on their team to the last." The Longhorns used all 11 players who were suited up for the game, and each scored at least four points. All four sen­ iors — Tracy Cook, Asha Hill, Dana Godfrey and Larkin — m anaged a good amount of playing time, including several minutes on the court together. "This was one of our best efforts from beginning to end," Conradt said. "We looked like a team that's approaching the playoffs ready. We have some depth and we have some answers." A&M scored the game's first points, but that would be its only lead, as Texas built an 11- point advantage at 26-15 with 7:28 to play in the first half. The Horns then went on a 16-5 run to close out the half with a 22- point lead, 42-20. The Aggies shot only 25 per­ cent in the first half, and Texas hit 5-of-6 three pointers, giving A&M it's second-largest half- time deficit this season. Texas A&M came back from 13 points down to win the game in the teams' last meeting, and Gillom thought her team would do it again. "I thought we were going to make a comeback," Gillom said of the second half. "We just stopped playing defense, and they did what they wanted to do." Texas junior Alisha Sare hit a three-pointer at the 8:54 mark in the second half, giving Texas a 30-point lead that it would maintain the rest of the game. Texas A&M made a final come­ back with 3:36 to go off a junior Tammika jumper by Sims, but it only put the Aggies within 24. Former player Brown hospitalized Former Texas reserve guard Meg Brown was diagnosed Friday with lymphoma, an aggressive form of cancer, in her throat and chest area. She is cur­ rently undergoing chemothera­ py treatments at Seton Hospital in Austin. "Obviously, our team is very concerned about her," Texas head coach Jody Conradt said. "Right now, we have left it in the hands of her parents and family to deal with in whatever public way they want to." Brown is currently a fifth- year senior at the University, completing her student teach­ ing for elementary certification. She played for the Longhorns from 1997-2001. Texas coaches and staff wore yellow ribbons in honor of Brown in the Horns' 91-63 victo­ ry over Texas A&M on Saturday. Texas senior Tracy Cook, who was one of Brown's teammates for three seasons, wrote the let­ ters "M B" and the number "10" on the tape around her ankles during the game, honoring Brown and the number 10 she wore as a Longhorn. Women crush Big 12 foes, stay undefeated By Melanie Boehm Daily Texan Staff The Texas women's tennis team continued their dominance over Big 12 opponents last Saturday as they defeated both Missouri and Iowa St., 7-0. "With the way we are playing, we can keep going and defi­ nitely win the Big 12 title," senior Kaysie Smashey said. "We can compete with any of those teams. Our goals are set high, and we're on our way to achieving them." The No. 9 Longhorns remain undefeated in dual-match play with a 6-0 overall record and a 4-0 record against Big 12 oppo­ nents.

Ford in Saturday’s contest. It was the Horns’ third loss in four games. Associated P ress By Jonathan Green Dally Texan Staff Texas guard Royal Ivey said the Big 12 is the best conference in the nation because of its depth of quality teams from top to bottom. That depth puts Texas (17-9, 8-5) in a quandary as its conference season comes to a close. With three games left in Big 12 play, the Longhorns sit in a three-way tie for third place with Oklahoma State and Texas Tech The top four teams get a first-round bye in the Big 12 tournament (March 7-10). No. 1 Kansas has secured the top seed in the tournament by clinching the Big 12 regular season title. No. 6 Oklahoma (21-4,10-3) will lock up the second seed with its next win. And the Sooners next game comes Saturday at 8 p.m. against the Horns in Norman, Okla. OU has won the past six contests between the two teams. But Texas needs to break that streak to keep an eye on one of those first-round byes. However; Texas head coach Rick Barnes said he is not focusing on where his team is seeded next month — he just wants to win each game at hand. The way the tiebreaker rule works for seeding in tire tournament gives the advantage to the better team in head-to-head competition. Texas already defeated Texas Tech last month, but meets the Red Raiders again on Tuesday in the Erwin Center The Horns split the series with Oklahoma State. Tech and OSU also split their series. If all the teams are tied in head-to-head competition, the tiebreak­ er goes to the team with the better division record. OSU and Texas are both 5-3 in the South division. Texas Tech is 4-3. The Horns finish their season with OU and then a home game against Texas Tech before traveling to face lowly Iowa State in the regular- season finale. Texas Tech and Oklahoma State each have dates with Baylor and Texas A&M OSU must also face Missouri, another team that figures into the mix for third- or fourth-place in the conference. That leaves Missouri, at 7-6 in conference play, as the odd team out Plus it has to face the top-ranked team in the nation, Kansas, in its final regular season game. Texas has earned a first-round bye each year dunng the Barnes era. In his first season with the Horns, Barnes won the Big 12 regular season title. While Barnes has never finished lower than second place in the Big 12 standings, he has struggled with Saturday's opponent Oklahoma In his four years at Texas, Barnes has a 2-7 record against the Red River rivals. Since defeating Texas on Feb. 2, the Sooners have four wans against weake; Big 12 opponents (Baylor twice, Texas A&M and Kansas State) sandwiched around its overtime loss to Oklahoma State on Feb. 13. In Texas' 85-84 overtime loss to OU earlier this month, Sooner guard Hollis Price lit the Horns up for 25 points. But since that game, Price has averaged just 10 points per game. On the contrary, Texas point guard T.J. Ford's offensive production has soared recently. The freshman has averaged 15.8 points in the month of February.

Seniors reflect on time at Texas Associated Press By Casey Zertuche Daily Texan Staff The Texas women's basketball team played their final regular season home game last Saturday against Texas A&M. Before the game, Texas honored its four sen­ iors: forward Tracy Cook, for­ ward Dana Godrey, guard Asha Hill and guard Kenya Larkin. Emotions were high because it was Senior Day, but it was impor­ tant to find a focus for the game and look toward the future. Further clouding die minds of the Texas seniors was the medical condition of former Texas player Meg Brown, who was diagnosed with lymphoma Friday. 'It was hard to focus on the game," Cook said. "My best friend Meg is in the hospital, and I've been with her. It was tough to focus on the game, but a huge motivation was to play hard for her and for the team." Prior to playing the Aggies, Cook took time to appreciate her past four years at Texas. "Before the game, I sat in the highest seat in the upper deck for two hours," Cook said. "I tried to let it sink in what it was like to play in a place like this." Cook said she is going to miss the whole team environment. But with games still left, her focus is on what lies ahead for the team. "I'm enjoying the rest of the ride, trying to relax and see how far we can get," Cook said. Cook gives her family a lot of credit for supporting her through the years. "My family has helped me out tremendously," she said. "If it wasn't for them, I don't know if I would have made it." Sm COOK, Pag* 10 Men extend win streak to nine By Kelsey Scroggins Daily Texan Staff The Texas men's tennis team swept their opponents off the courts last weekend, their ninth straight victory of the season. Fresno State and South Alabama left Austin with a blemish on their records, while Texas has earned its best season start at since 19% at 9-0. "I'm very pleased with the effort our guys showed," Texas head coach Michael Center said. "Overall, it was just a team effort — a really amazing team effort." The Horns began their winning weekend with a flawless competi­ tion against Fresno State on Saturday. In recording a 7-0 win, the Horns did not falter a single set to FSU. Texas grasped all three doubles matches, giving them a 1-0 lead in the FSU match. The duo of Rodrigo Echagaray and Jose Zarhi had an 8-0 win in the No. 1 doubles position. Mirroring their success were Ryan Haymond and Alastair Jenkin with an 8-5 victory at the No. 2 spot, while Will Clinton and Drew Hoskins wrapped up doubles play with another 8-5 win at the No. 3 posi­ tion. The Horns continued to domi­ nate the match in singles play as players in positions one through six left their opponents in a state of defeat. "Our top three have played remarkably this season," Center said. "Jose [Zarhi] is just playing exceptionally well, Jean [Simon] is playing like a true All-American, and Rodrigo [Echagaray] has clinched every match." The performance of these play­ ers was seen again on Sunday when the team faced South Alabama. Thanks in part to Echagaray, who is nationally ranked No. 80, the Horns achieved their ninth win of the season. Echagaray had made his fourth match-clinching victory for the Sm MEN, Pag* 10 Texas’ Rodrigo Echagaray and Jose Zarhi compete in doubles dur­ ing the Longhorns’ dual match against South Alabama on Sunday. Koury Angelo/Daily Texan Page 1 0 Monday, February 25, 2002 T he D a il y Texan BRIEFS Football team to open spring practices Monday The Texas football team will open spring football practice today at 4 p.m. at Frank Denius Fields. Spring practice consists of 12 prac­ tices and three scrimmages, culmi­ nating in the spring football jam­ boree at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on March 30. Last season, the jamboree drew over 31,000 fans. In addition to the spring jamboree, Texas will scrimmage on March 2 and 7 at Memorial Stadium before taking an 11-day hiatus for spring break. A number of players will not par­ ticipate in spring drills. Wide receiver Roy Williams and defensive end Kalen Thornton will be out due to an injury, as Williams is recovering from ankle surgery and Thornton is rehab- bing his tom anterior cruciate liga­ ment in his knee. Projected starting safeties Dakari Pearson and Phillip Geiger, as well as running back Victor Ike, will miss spring practices due to academic- related issues. The first three practices will be without pads, as the NCAA pro­ hibits teams from wearing pads in their first two practices of the spring and allows only eight workouts to include tackling. Golf team tied for third place in Puerto Rico The sixth-ranked Texas men's golf team is tied for third place after the first round of the Puerto Rico Classic in Palmer, Puerto Rico. The Longhorns shot a 1-over-par 289 on the River Course at Westin Rio Mar Country Club. They are tied with Colorado and are 14 strokes behind No. 1 Georgia Tech, the tour­ nament leader. No. 3 Clemson shot 279 and is in second place. Senior John Klauk paced Texas on Sunday, firing a 69 on the par-72 River Course. Klauk is tied for third individually with five others, two shots back of Georgia Tech's Chris Mikkelsen. Junior J.J. Wall filed in right behind Klauk on the leaderboard, posting a two-under-par 70. Wall is tied for eighth place with six other golfers. Redshirt junior Russell Surber shot a 74 and is tied for 31st; sophomore Jason Hartwick is tied for 48th place after shooting 76; and sophomore Rusty Kennedy posted a 78 and is tied for 61st place.

The Texas women's track and field squad battled teams from ev*ery school in the conference and came out on top, as head coach Bev Kearney's squad cap­ tured the Big 12 Indoor title for the third time since the conception of the confer­ ence. Since the beginning of the indoor sea­ son at the Hilton Memorial Indoor, Kearney has stated that one of his goals for the season was to win the conference indoor title. Last Saturday, the Horns delivered. "I'm very pleased with the way we completed," Kearney said. "We took care of what we set out to accomplish." The champion was not determined until the meet's final event: the 4x400- the relay, meter relay. Going Nebraska léd the meet by a score of 100-97. into The Texas relay team, which features three preseason All-Americans, deliv­ ered its best time of the season to win the event by nearly three seconds. The per­ formance also gave Texas the overall team title by four points over the Huskers, 107-103. "I was not surprised that we pier- formed so well in that event, " Kearney said. "We are usually very strong in the mile relay." The performance was also good enough to earn the relay team an auto­ matic berth into the NCAA champi- onshipis. At the final meet of the season, qualifying times were the main focus for the Horns. "We got several people qualified for the NCAAs. And hopefully, we will get enough of our provisionals in to put up a solid score at nationals," Kearney said. Texas had two athletes place first in their Junior Moushami Robinson won first in the 400-meter dash and earned an automat­ ic berth into nationals, while junior Aleah Williams won the 60-meter dash and earned a provisional qualifying time. respective events. Sophomore Raasin McIntosh, a mem­ ber of the victorious relay team, earned provisional qualifying times in both the 60-meter hurdles and the 400-meter dash. Robinson, who anchored the relay team, finished a close second to Baylor's Barbara Petrahan in the 200-meter, an event in which the Homs racked up 21 points. Also competing in the event was junior Keasha Downer and Williams, who finished just behind Robinson in the third and fourth spots, respectively. Downer and Williams posted provi­ sional qualifying times as did Robinson, who achieved a provisional qualifying time earlier this season. While Kearney was pleased with the performance of her team, she is not very optimistic about the chances for a national title at the indoor national championships in two weeks. "We just won't be deep enough in that meet to complete for the top spot, " Kearney said. The NCAA Indoor Championships will be held at the Randal Tyson Track center in Fayetteville, Ark., on March 8-9. By Hunter Taylor Daily Texan Staff After coming off a successful meet in New York and taking a two-week layoff, the Texas men's track team finished second this past weekend in the Big 12 Indoor Championship» The meet, held in Lincoln, Neb., featured four top- twenty teams, including No. 7 Texas. However; No. 10 Nebraska proved that the home soil was an advantage as they went on to win the meet in close fashion Nebraska defeated Texas 105.5-97 in the final standings of the meet. "I'm really proud of the guys for the way they fought down to the end," Texas head coach Bubba Thornton said. "Give Nebraska credit. ITiey did a good job of coming out on top. It was a close team race, and both teams missed some points they were count­ ing on." Texas needed to beat Nebraska by seven points or better in the final event, the 4x400-meter relay. The Homs finished fifth, but Nebraska took third to claim the championship. Highlighting the day for the Homs were junior hur­ dler Jermaine Cooper and freshman high jumper Einar Hjartarson. Cooper; who has remained undefeated throughout the course of the year, kept his streak alive as he claimed his second Big 12 title in the 60-meter hurdles. His provisional qualifying time of 7.8 edged out Nebraska's Derek Zachary (7.82) for the win. Also Hjartarson, an Iceland native, pulled together his best jump of the season at 7-1 3/4 to take the high jump event. Others having success for the Homs: junior Tie Gardner took second in the 60-meter dash; senior Jordan McCambridge took third in the 1000-meter; and junior Jeff Wood took third in the mile. "We needed almost a perfect meet to win this thing, but we'll regroup," Thornton said. The Homs will now take another two weeks off before returning to action at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark., on March 8-9. Echagaray seals win for Horns MEN, from 9 team as he bounced back from a one-set deficit to defeat his opponent 7-6 (5), 5-7,6-1. The Homs got off to a slow start as they lost the doubles point with only one win in three doubles matches. Zarhi began Texas' recovery after he defeated opponent Christian Thall with a 6-1,6-3 win. Following Zarhi's match, Simon pulled Texas into the lead with a 6-3,6-4 victory. Texas remains undefeated going into its match against Boise State Thursday in Austin. A win would improve the Horns' standing to 10-0, which no Texas men's tennis team has accomplished since match-by- match records began being compiled in 1975. Garrido second on career-win list SWEEP, from 9 also went more than seven innings and allowed only one run. Halsey consistently went inside on batters, keeping his pitches low and jamming batters. "Pitching inside is one of my strengths," Halsey said. Garrido added, "He forces hitters to hit out of the bottom part of the strike zone. It's a hard place to hit out of, and as a result, you see the number of groundballs he gets out of it." Friday's victory put Garrido in sole possession of second place on the all-time winningest coaches list with 1,333 wins, surpassing USC legend Rod Dedeaux. Cliff Gustafson, Garrido's predecessor at Texas, holds the all-time record with 1,427 wins. Seniors will miss team COOK, from 9 Larkin, although excited, was also able to keep her focus in the midst of heightened emotions. She, too, is looking toward the future and Texas' season finale at Kansas on Tuesday. "I feel like I am ready to go up to Kansas and win," Larkin said. She has thought about missing the team once the season is over. "I've never really been on a team where it7s like family," Larkin said. Hill said there was a lot of excite­ ment since it was Senior Day, but the team was motivated and focused on beating A&M. She doesn't believe that the season is coming to an end. "I feel like there's a lot of basketball left," Hill said. "We still have about a month of basketball." It hasn't set in that Hill has played her last home game of the regular sea­ son. "It hasn't hit me yet ... ask me in March," she said. Hill's concern now is on playing hard and winning. Godfrey, agreeing said the team still has a chance for a ring and that is where the team's focus is now. >IS your Doubles goes die Homs’ way WOMEN, from 9 No. 2 doubles position, Smashey and Lindsay Blau quickly defeated Mary Rebecca Barry and Caitlin Thompson, 8-0. The Homs clinched the doubles point at the No. 1 sp>ot after Vladka Uhlirova and Ziva Grasic defeated the No. 19 duo of Urska Juric and Katerina Sevcilkova, 8-2. At the No. 4 position, the Homs claimed their first singles victory with Michelle Krinke's 6-1, 6-1 win over Lucie Ruskova. Smashey followed her with a 6-1, 6-2 win at the No. 2 spot. Texas claimed victory after junior-transfer Lindsay Blau defeated Kristina Olshanskava at the No. 3 position 6-4, 6-1. At the No. 1 singles position, Uhlirova defeated Juric 6-3 in the first set and took a 5-2 lead in the second. Juric rallied to tie the set at 5-5, but Uhlirova won the next two games to claim victory. "Missouri is much improved from the last time we saw them play. I was very pleased at how we finished them off at five courts really quickly," Texas head coach Jeff Moore said. "Vladka had a very tough opponent, and she stayed focused even though every­ one else finished much sooner." With the loss, No. 75 Missouri dropped to 3-4 overall and 0-3 in Big 12 play. After a 30-minute break, the Longhorns came out ready to continue their dominating play into the second part of the doublehead­ er. Texas won all three doubles matches, again giving them the doubles point. Smashey and Blau were the first to finish as they defeated Tara Goedjen and Kristin Gyaki 8-2. Uhlirova and Grasic immediately followed with an 8-1 win at the No. 1 spot. Fomey and Michelle Krinke finished the doubles sweep at the No. 3 position after defeating the Cyclones 8-4. "Our doubles play is really coming together right now. Our No. 2 team had been struggling until these past few match­ es. Everyone has really come together and just dominated over their opponents," Moore said. In singles play, Texas outplayed the Cyclones and quickly grabbed the 7-0 victory. Smashey's great play continued as she defeated Edna Vazquez 6-0, 6-1. "I felt great all day. I went out with my mindset that I would play my game and do what I wanted to do. I was very focused," Smashey said. Grasic then won 6-1, 6-0 at the No. 2 posi­ tion and was followed by Krinke's 6-1, 6-1 victory at the No. 6 spot over Sharia Whitaker, which gave the Longhorns the win. Texas will fight to remain undefeated on Saturday when it hosts UCLA at noon. "If we play the way we have played thus far, we can win every gqme we play," Moore said.

I 2002 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES The D a ily Texan Monday, February 25, 2002 Page 11 0 Canada! Canada ends 50-year drought, defeats United States for gold By The Associated Press WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — The Maple Leaf dollar buried in America's home ice turned out to be a golden omen for Canada. for The Canadians finally ended an agonizing 50-year wait the Olympic gold medal in their national sport, beating the United States as Jarom e Iginla and Joe Sakic each scored twice in a historic 5-2 victory Sunday. The loss ended U.S. coach Herb Brooks' quest to lead a second gold- medal winning team 22 years after the famous "Miracle on Ice" with a group of college players. Maybe it w as the Americans really didn 't have the home-ice advantage. because As the Edmonton Oilers' ice spe­ cialists made the surface at the E- Center rink, they sank a loonie — a golden Canadian dollar coin — into it for good luck. "I dug it, up and we're going to give it to the Hockey Hall of Fame," Team Canada executive director Wayne Gretzky said. Remarkably, C anada's gold came 50 years to the day an amateur team the Edm onton Waterloo called last Mercurys won Olympic gold. In 1998, Canada easily won its first four games, only to be eliminated by the eventual champion the Czech Republic. the nation's The Canadians' victory ended the U.S. men's team's 70-year unbeaten streak on Olympic home ice — three days after the American women's team also lost to Canada in the final. "We took a lot of inspiration from how the w om en's team played," defenseman Chris Pronger said. Paul Kariya and Iginla scored less than four minutes apart in the first period as Canada seized the lead after falling behind 1-0. Brian Rafalski tied it in the second period after the Americans killed off a two-man advantage, but Canada regained the lead on Sakic's goal later in the peri­ od. In the third, Iginla redirected Steve Yzerman's shot from the left point with just under four minutes left to increase Canada's lead, then Sakic added his second goal. Right then, Gretzky, the dominant figure in Canadian hockey for a quai ter-century, jumped up wildly in his private box, pumping his fists and waving his arms. Canada's pursuit of the gold medal mesmerized Canadians, with the CBC predicting the afternoon game would draw the largest TV audience in the nation's history — not just for sports, but for any event. "You don't know what it's like to have a piano on your back. No other . team had more pressure than ours," defenseman A1 Maclnnis said "Everybody in Canada w as watching with the same intensity that we played the gam e with. It's amazing the way a sport can bring the country together. The American loss came despite goals by Tony Amonte and Brian Rafalski, and w as the first for the United States in 25 Olympic gam es (21-1-3) on U.S. ice since a 2-1 ioss to Canada in 1932. Brooks had been 10 0-2 in Olympic games. "We would have loved to win, but if we couldn't, there's nobody better to do it," U.S. forward Jeremy Roenick said. "We were playing hockey's cre­ ators." Shortly after the gam e ended C anada captain M ario Lemieux hugged Brooks, a scout for the Lemieux-owned Pittsburgh Penguins "It probably w as a good time to as! for a raise," Brooks said. Just as Brooks' team did in its I ? • victory over Finland for the gold in Lake Placid in 1980, the United States trailed by a goal going into the third period. This time, the Americans had no answer for Canadian goalie Martin Brodeur, who w as playing behind Curtis Joseph when the tournament began. Brodeur turned aside 31 shots to outduel Mike Richter, who m ade more spectacular saves but could not halt a succession of Canadian odd man rushes in the first two periods Brodeur is the son of Denis Brodeur, the team photographer who was the goalie on C an ad a's bronze-m edal winning team in 1956. The gold w as redem ption for 4 Gretzky, who got a post-game call on - the ice from Canadian prime minister Jean Chretien. Gretzky drew heavy criticism when Canada w as routed 5- 2 in its Olympic opener by Sweden, then barely beat Germany.

Two cross-country skiers have gold stripped By The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Vowing to stay one step ahead of the athletes, Olympic officials stripped gold medals from two cross-country skiers Sunday for using a drug so new, it's not yet on the banned list. Cross-country skiers Larissa Lazutina of Russia and Johann Muehlegg of Spain forfeited their most recent medals after testing positive for a performance-enhanc­ ing drug intended to help kidney patients avoid ane­ mia. A third cross-country skier, Olga Danilova of Russia, also tested positive for the same drug, darbepoetin, which boosts the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to muscles. All three athletes were tossed out of the Winter Olympics on the final day of competition. Arne Ljunqqvist, chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, said the disqualifications were a warning to athletes who think they can get away with using new drugs. "The substance is not listed on the banned list because it is so new," he said. "This is a strong statement to those who say we are far behind. We are on their heels." Lazutina, who tied an Olympic record Sunday with her 10th medal by winning the women's 30-kilometer classical race, was forced to give up that victory. But she will be allowed to keep two medals she won earlier — silvers in the 15K freestyle and the 10K combined event. Muehlegg, who had won three gold medals at these games, was ordered to return the one from Saturday's 50K classical race. But he gets to keep his golds in the 30K freestyle and the 10K pursuit events. "I don't understand this result. I've been skiing for 10 years in World Cups and I've been through 25 controls, and there's never been a problem," Muehlegg said in a Spanish radio interview. He had been picked to carry the Spanish flag at the closing ceremony, but he was replaced by Maria Jose Rienda Contreras, w ho finished sixth in the giant slalom. Danilova, who earlier won a gold and a silver, was disqualified from the 30K classical race in which she fin­ ished eighth. The IOC said it could not strip the other medals because the athletes had passed those drug tests, but IOC president Jacques Rogge said those m edals are tainted. "Technically, they are Olympic cham pions," Rogge said. "Morally, it is a totally different issue." Only five drug cases have been confirmed since the first Winter Olym pics in 1924 — none in the past three gam es. But officials had set up the most rigorous Olympic testing program ever in Salt Lake City, so the chances of catching cheats were greater. The Spanish and Russian Olympic delegations chal­ lenged the process by which the test results were vali­ dated. All three positive results came from out-of-com­ petition drug tests on Thursday. Vitaly Smirnov, an IOC vice president from Russia, said the Russian team would appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but would not pull out of Sunday night's closing ceremony because of the drug cases. Since darbepoetin is relatively new, it is not on the IOC's list of banned substances. But it has similar prop­ erties to the banned hormone erythropoietin, or EPO.. Darbepoetin, marketed by Thousand Oaks, Calif- based Amgen Corp. under the name Aranesp, was approved in mid-September by the Food and Drug Administration to help patients with chronic kidney failure. After Lazutina w as disqualified, Gabriella Paruzzi of Italy, who finished second, w as aw arded the gold, Stefania Belmondo of Italy got the silver and Bente Skari of Norway moved up to bronze. M uehlegg's disqualification means Mikhail Ivanov of Russia will trade in his silver for gold, while Estonia's Andrus Veerpalu m oves up to silver and fourth-place finisher Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset of N orw ay gets the bronze. Lazutina's 10th medal had tied the w om en's Winter G am es record held by cross-country skier Raisa Smetanina, who won four gold, five silver and one bronze competing for the Soviet Union and the Russian Unified team from 1976 to 1992. Lazutina's medal total now stands at nine. The 36-year-old skier w as disqualified from the women's relay Thursday for having high levels of per­ formance-boosting hemoglobin, a blood molecule that helps carry oxygen to muscles. She took another blood test Sunday morning and passed, allowing her to com­ pete before the results of the earlier test were announced. "It w as a shocking experience," she said. "That tragedy on Thursday m ade me more determined to work hard." The heavily favored Russians had to withdraw from the relay. Russian officials claimed drug-testers were targeting their athletes, and the dispute led to wide­ spread complaints of biased judging in other sports.

Big Ten track championships canceled after Penn State pole vaulter, 19, dies By The Associated Press M INNEAPOLIS — Teary-eyed Penn State athletes led a lap around the track, and a moment of silence replaced competi­ tion at the Big Ten men's track and field indoor championships Sunday. A day after Penn State pole vaulter Kevin Dare died in competition, the cham­ pionships were called off. The decision was made after a meeting of Big Ten Coaches, conference athletic commissioner Jim Delaney said. The meet, which began Saturday, won't be rescheduled. Coaches, athletes and fans gathered around the track Sunday afternoon to honor Dare, a 19-year-old sophomore who fell during a pole vault attempt Saturday and hit his head. He was treated by emer­ the gency medical University of Minnesota Field House and was then taken to Hennepin County Medical Center. technicians at He never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead shortly after arriv­ ing at the hospital. Some Penn State athletes stopped during their lap around the track and knelt at the pit where Dare had fallen, while others threw flowers on the spot where he landed. The women's championships at Penn State also held a moment of silence Sunday. "Today, life is not as good as it was yes­ terday," Penn State coach Harry Groves said to the crowd gathered for the ceremony. "The best way we can pay tribute to Kevin is to get back to doing what we do, which is track and field. I think he would like that." After the Penn State athletes huddled in the center of the field and yelled a cheer for Dare, the team's poles were carried out of the building. Dare won the pole vault in the U.S. jun­ ior championships in June, clearing 16 feet, 6 3/4 inches. Minnesota heptathlon competitor Jess M adsen, who was scheduled to vault Sunday, said vaulters have little room for fear when they take oft down the run wav "You can't think about it; if you start run ning down the runway and think, 'I'm going to get hurt,' you'll just stop, or run through or not even go up," a red-eyed M adsen said. "You cannot even think about it. That's the last thing you're think ing about." But after Saturday's tragedy, it was all he could think about. "Before they canceled it, we were going to have to go through with it. Last night, I w as trying to convince m yself that I w as going to be able to," he said "I w as actually happy they canceled the heptathlon for sure, because there's no way I'd be able to go up today after see­ ing that yesterday.

Held at the Red Lion Hotel, the 11th Annual Texas School Social Work Conference featured speakers and work­ shops to improve school social workers' skills. School social workers are employed by public — and a few private — school dis­ tricts to address the needs of children from kindergarten through 12th-grade. "They have a role that's sim ilar to coun­ selors, but they're more focused on issues outside of school, such as families and drop-out situations," said Sarah Noland, social work graduate student and teach­ ing assistant in the School of Social Work. Social workers can use storytelling to relate to children, said Gayle Ross, profes­ sional Cherokee storyteller and presenter at the conference. "It's especially helpful for people who work with fam ilies," Ross said. Through storytelling, one can "teach w ithout preaching." All stories have universal themes that speak to our "common humanity," she added. "And it's one of the most important ways we can celebrate being different." Norma Leben, registered play therapy supervisor, taught social workers games, including card games, that use positive reinforcement to help children with atten­ tion deficit hyperactive disorder and opposition defiant disorder. Telling a child with one of these disor­ ders, " I just like the way you sit," or "Thank you for paying attention," during the games is constructive — it "reinforces desirable behavior," Leben said. Andrew Marks, executive director of the Texas State Board of Social Work Examiners, gave tips on how to solve the ethical dilem­ mas social workers often encounter at the professional ethics seminar. Social workers have difficulties pqtting interests ahead of then said. concerns, M arks their clients' em ployers' Determining exactly who the client i s the child or the parent — can also prov e challenging, he added. H o lly Mobley, at Westwood High School in Round Rock and member of the conference planning committee, said the conference reminds social workers why they chose the career "This is a really great time to learn what others are doing to help clients, Mobley said. "Com ing together as a community of social workers is energizing and invig orating." social worker RENTAL EDUCATIONAL EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT Luciana Castro/Daily Texan Staff The family of Debbie Gusman plays with kites Sunday at Zilker Park.
