Wolfe Daily Texan Staff SAN ANTONIO — The UT System Board of Regents construction com m ittee met M onday to discuss and recom m end for approval several item s, including adjusted costs for three con­ struction projects, and to designate architectural projects of "special interest" to the regents. The Facilities Planning and C onstruction C om ­ m ittee agreed to recom m end for approval at the M ay regents m eeting increased architectural selection budgets for three UT Austin projects, including renovations to the Littlefield Home, exhibit space for the H arry Ransom Center and a proposed w etlands center at the Port A ransas M arine Science Institute. Sid Sanders, UT System director for Facilities P lanning and C onstruction, said because of a regents' rule that only 3 percent of a project's total cost can be spent durin g the design portion of its planning, w hen it exceeds 3 percent it is necessary to have the regents' approval. Sanders added that the adjusted costs will not necessarily affect the final am ount that is already estim ated for each project. "We just can spend a little more money than we norm ally w ould spend at this point in time," Sanders said. The Littlefield Home, which has housed sever­ al offices on its top floors for the past 25 years, hasn 't h ad any significant w ork done on its top floors in decades. The design portion is now expected to cost about $157,000 of its total cost of $1.8 million, up from an original estim ate of $54,000 The costs rose due to the challenges pre­ sented by renovating a histo ric landm ark, Sanders said. CONSTRUCTION/Page 2 Kathryn A. Wolfe Daily Texan Staff SAN ANTONIO — Online distance education took center-stage Tuesday during a. lively UT System Board of Regents committee meeting on w hat the University and the UT System 's role in distance education should be in the near future. The regents, along w ith the presidents of each academic component, grappled with questions about the direction of future distance education, including how m uch the UT System should focus on online degree program s and courses versus more traditional forms of dis­ tance education. UT President Larry Faulkner fielded questions from several regents during his presentation on UT distance educa­ tion, which included statistics such as We have gotten some push back from them that we’re not doing enough [online]. One of the things that I’m trying to illustrate is that actually we have very large distance education offer­ ings, they’re not just Web-only.” — UT President Larry Faulkner last y ear's distance education enroll­ ment total of 105,000 students, mostly draw n from m ore traditional distance programs.

"Get up. Get some fire under your butts and organize," Feldt told the pre­ dominantly female student audience of about 100 in Bctss Lecture Hall. Feldt's visit was part of the ongoing Women, Leadership and Policy Series, a lineup of events co-sponsored by the UT Center for Women's Studies and the LBJ School of Public Affairs. In her speech, Feldt said the freedom of reproductive choice constantly faces challenges, adding that state lawmak­ ers introduced more than 200 pieces of anti-abortion legislation in 1999. Feldt em phasized that the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade 44 Get up. Get some fire under your butts and organize.” Gloria Fektt president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America — holds by a fragile 5-4 majonty and said Gov. George W. Bush could influence its standing if he wins the presidency. He could appoint a Supreme Court jus­ tice whom an increasingly conservative Congress would likely affirm, she said. "Reproductive rights as we know them could be gone in a heartbeat," said Feldt, who also serves as president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of PPFA. "So get involved with grassroots organizations, and elect a president w ho is quintessen- tially pro-choice." If Roe v. Wade were overturned, state and federal legislatures could act to restrict access to abortions. Feldt said an overturning of the deci­ sion w ould lead many w inner to assume that abortions were against the law and thus resort to illegally provid­ ed abortions, which are often danger­ ous. Joe Plojman, executive director of Greater A ustin Right to Life, said although he can't speculate on what Bush might do if elected president, he said Bush will sign any pro-life bill that comes to his desk, such as legislation blocking funding for overseas abor­ tions. "He will sign bills that Congress has been passing for a num ber of years and that Clinton and Gore have vetoed," Plojman said in an earlier interview. PRO-CHOICE/Pagel Amanda M. Zamora Daily Texan Staff Even as a child, UT student Parisa Fatehi fre­ quented the University of Texas campus, where both of her parents worked and attended school. While she has fond memories of sitting in Perry- Castañeda Library while her mother worked, Fate­ hi was not sure then that she would attend the Uni­ versity, much less become president of its student government. Nearly two decades later, Fatehi, a Plan II senior, is leaving her office on the fourth floor of the Stu­ dent Services Building as Student Government president for the last time today. Winners of this year's SG elections will be inaugurated this evening. Fatehi spent the weekend packing her things, training the new officers and recalling many of her experiences as a student leader of the University. "Hopefully I brought some sense of ownership to the students," Fatehi said of her time as SG pres­ ident. "Hopefully I got more students to call this their student government." Fatehi won the presidency last spring under the ticket Unite, with 1,758 votes — beating her oppo­ nent by 894 votes. Since then, she has experienced her share of trium phs and disappointments but notes that she is grateful for the experience and sad to be leaving office. "I am definitely sad," Fatehi said. "I feel like I have been so lucky and so honored to work with all these students — it's something I'll never forget." When recalling the highlights of her time as pres­ ident, Fatehi said she was incredibly moved by the unveiling of the Martin Luther King Jr. Statue on the East Mall last September. "It just represented more than just a physical structure, it was the culmination of many years of student work and dedication to bring that to cam­ pus," she said. A num ber of things have been on FatehTs prior­ ity list since she was sworn into office last spring, many of which have transformed the way SG oper­ ates on the whole.

Adriane Jaeckle/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Activist: Brazil faces long road to renewal Brazilian senators speech kicks off commemorative program Julie Nolen Daily Texan Staff organized to create sustainable devel­ opm ent in Latin America. Environm ental activist and Brazilian Senator M arina Silva said M onday that while Brazilian living has progressed, the country still needs im provem ent. The speech opened a three-day pro­ gram com m em orating the 500th year since the European discovery of Brazil by Pedro Alvares Cabral, a Portugese navigator. "In history, w e camiot view every­ thing as negative nor can we celebrate everything," Silva said in a lecture that drew m ore than 100 people to Bass Lec­ ture Hall. "We are in a culturally devel­ oped narcissism. We look in the mirror and look past the acne and wrinkles." The UT Brazil Center, which co­ sponsored the event, chose Silva because of her leadership in and o ut of government. "She is working on environm ental legislation in Brazil but is also a grass­ roots activist and som eone everyone can relate to," said Michelle Zweede, a Latin American studies adm inistrative assistant at the Brazil Center. The Brazil C enter coordinates activi­ ties of scholars in Austin who are con­ ducting research on Brazil. Other event sponsors include the Institute of Latin American Studies Student Association, an interdisciplinary forum for students involved in Latin American research topics, and AVINA, a national group Silva, w ho is am ong six w om en in an 81-member cabinet, said illiteracy and poverty are tw o of Brazil's biggest present-day problems. She said 70 percent of Brazil's p o p u ­ lation is considered poor and 50 m il­ lion youth are illiterate. "The vision that the principles of the Brazilian elite are predatory leads to the sham eful statistics," Silva said.

The University currently does not confer any online distance education degrees, unlike the other eight academic components of the U T System. Faulkner said during his presenta­ tion that the Web is not the only effec­ tive means of conducting distance education and that in many cases the level of technology available to most students makes more traditional means of delivery, such as videotape or CD-ROM, more feasible as a dis­ tance education teaching tool. "N o single technology can take advantage of the existing or the developing base of teaching materi­ als," Faulkner said. Regent Patrick Oxford expressed concern over the possibility that pro­ fessors not eager to jump on the Internet bandwagon may cause the entire University's distance educa­ tion program to be slow' in respond­ ing to changing trends. He added that it might be necessary to prod professors along the path to greater Internet literacy. " I recognize that there are any number of w ays to do this, but isn't it true that unless you drive people to use better, they're going to use what they're already using?" Oxford said.

ASS O C IA TED PRESS Japanese prime minister in coma Associated Press TOKYO — Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi was on life support Monday after a stroke, leaving the Japanese gov­ ernment to grapple with a leadership crisis and the possibility of dissolving the Cabinet and finding a successor. There was also grow ing anger over the delays by the government in report­ ing Obuchi's illness to the public. Despite assurances from officials that Japan would not veer from its econom­ ic and political course, speculation was rife that Obuchi's illness could plunge Japan into turmoil and possibly lead to early elections. However, the political establishment appeared to be moving quickly to name a successor to the prime minister, with media reports saying the Cabinet could resign as early as Wednesday so a new' one can be formed. With that as a possi­ bility, it appeared likely that Chief Cabi­ net Secretary Mikio Aoki, who took over as acting prime minister on Mon­ day, would be able to keep the govern­ ment together until then. Media reports were widespread that Yoshiro Mori, the secretary-general of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party', w'as the likely successor. Obuchi, 62, was hospitalized early Sunday after complaining of fatigue. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and Aoki announced on Monday that Obuchi had suffered a stroke and was in a coma. He was put on a respirator. Tokyo's private TBS television net­ work quoted unidentified doctors late Monday as saving that Obuchi was clin­ ically brain dead. The prime minister's office said it could not confirm the report, and offi­ cials at Tokyo's Juntendo University Hospital were unavailable late Monday. Meanw'hile, Aoki defended the tim­ ing of the reporting of Obuchi's illness to the public. The government waited nearly 24 hours to announce that he had been hospitalized and left the public in the dark about the seriousness of his condition for 12 more hours. "When the prime minister wrent to the hospital initially, all he said w'as he wasn't feeling well," Aoki said. "We never thought things would turn out this way." President Clinton praised Obuchi. "He has been a good friend to me per­ sonally; he's been a good friend of the United States," Clinton told reporters. Aoki is seen as well-connected in the Liberal Democratic Party. However, party leaders were expected to look at other candidates for a nominee to replace Obuchi. Whoever is selected would likely win the approval of parlia­ ment, which is controlled by the LDP. Opposition lawmakers were expect­ ed to resist the appointment of a stop­ gap prime minister from mling coalition ranks, said Shigenori Okazaki, political analyst at Warburg Dillon Read. "Thev will keep demanding an early election," he said. "This raises the possi­ bility of a lower-house election even before" the G-8 summit of industrial­ ized nations in July. Japan is to be host of the summit. Besides Mori, another name that has come up as a possible successor is that of Foreign Minister Yohei Kono. Despite upheaval, officials said they were plowing ahead with initiatives. Talks planned this week with North Korea were to go ahead as scheduled. Taichi Sakaiya, head of Japan's Economic Planning Agency, said economic policies remained solid. "It is not possible that [Obuchi's illness] will have an impact on economic policies," he said. Obuchi fell ill after an intense string of days during which a vol­ cano in northern Japan erupted, forc­ ing the evacuation of thousands, and his three-party ruling coalition start­ ed to splinter. What We study High Blood Pressure Chronic Bronchitis Chronic Lower Back Pain Leg Pain While Walkin Associated Press judge ruled Monday WASHINGTON — Humbling a proud giant of the computer age, a fed­ eral that Microsoft Corp. violated U.S. antitrust law s by keeping "an oppressive thumb" on competitors during the race to link Americans to the Internet. In a sweeping verdict against the empire that Bill Gates built, U.S. Dis­ trict Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said Microsoft violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, just as Standard Oil and AT&T did in earlier antitrust cases. He concluded that the company was guilty — as the federal government, 19 states and the District of Columbia had alleged in the case that began in Octo­ ber 1998 — of "unlawfully tying its Web browser" to its Windows operating sys­ tem, which dominates the computer market worldwide. "Microsoft placed an oppressive thumb on the scale of competitive for­ tune, thereby effectively guaranteeing its continued dominance" in the mar­ ket, Jackson wrote. The verdict affirms Jackson's previ­ ous ruling in November that the soft­ ware giant is a monopoly, one that ille­ gally used its power to bully competi­ tors, stifle innovation and hurt con­ sumers in the process. The judge's ruling can be appealed, delaying its impact for years, and Gates said the company would pursue that avenue. While Microsoft "did everything we could to settle this case, we believe we have a strong case on appeal," Gates said. "... This ruling turns on its head the reality that consumers know: that our software has helped make PCs accessible and more affordable to mil­ lions of Americans." The decision opens the door for the federal government to seek drastic penalties against Microsoft. The options range from breaking up the company that made Gates a billion­ aire to forcing it to share its propnetary software code with competitors. Jack­ son also paved the way for states to seek penalties under their own anti­ competition laws. "Microsoft maintained its monopoly power by anticompetitive means and attempted to monopolize the Web- browser market," the judge wrote in a ruling that caused a record plunge in the Nasdaq market even before its release. Microsoft stock dropped by more than $15 a share to close at $90.87, costing Gates about $12.1 billion in paper losses. The Justice Department vowed to press the case until consumers are rewarded. "Microsoft has been held account­ able for its illegal conduct by a court of law," Attorney General Janet Reno said. "Thanks to this ruling, consumers who have been harmed can now look for­ ward to benefits." Reno's antitrust chief, Joel Klein, said he was still open to a settlement but that it would have to redress the violations cited in Monday's ruling. "Microsoft's anticompetitive actions trammeled the competitive process through which the computer software industry generally stimulates innova­ tion and conduces to the optimum ben­ efit of consumers," Jackson wrote. Both sides tried to postpone a rul­ ing by working the last four months through a court-appointed mediator. The talks collapsed over the week­ end, prompting Jackson to release his verdict.

They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. She Bciilu ©exati R o b A d d y Editor B r i a n D u p r e Senior Associate Editor B r y a n C u r t i s Associate Editor SG Y ea r In R e v ie w Today, Student Government President Parisa Fatehi, Vice President Eric Opiela and the current SG assembly will end their terms, to be replaced by a whole new crop of student leaders. While Fatehi and her administration have accomplished much, the past year has done little to change the perception, true or not, that SG has little relevance to the students it claims to represent. SG is in more of an identity crisis now than at any time since it was abol­ ished in 1978, especially thanks to the undemocratic nature of this year's elections. Is SG trulv the voice of, and an advocate for, students, as the word "government' suggests? Or is SG simply one of countless student organizations on campus pur­ suing worthwhile projects? If it's merely the latter, then Fatehi's adminis­ tration has been a success. It helped create the South Mall Stadium, con­ ducted a shuttle bus survey to pinpoint problems in CapMetro's sendee, established a University Safetv Council, revitalized the SG Scholarship Database, improved mentoring programs on campus and participated in a host of community sendee activities. This administration even tackled one "big picture" issue with its "Hook The Vote" campaign. Despite notable set­ backs, the effort registered thousands of students and tripled campus voter turnout when compared to the 1997 constitutional amendment election. Unfortunately, SG failed to assume a leadership role on many of the most important issues, content instead with issuing after-the-fact resolutions that had little real impact. On issues such as the $14-per-credit-hour tuition and fee hike, the Kissinger cancellation, the SG election fiasco and more recent­ ly the Arabic Studies controversy, Fatehi has been virtually silent and has let others speak out on behalf of students. The SG president has a bully pulpit, capable of forcing administrators to take heed of student issues. During Fatehi's tenure, administrators routine­ ly dismissed the interests of students, but SG only responded with resolu­ tions. leaving it to others to go to the press or take more immediate action. This administration also failed to fix the flaws in the SG Constitution that hindered its voter registration and "Hook The Vote." The SG Constitution needs an overhaul to make the assembly smaller and more effective. More­ over, the election code is fatally flawed, as this spring's debacle clearly showed. This assembly missed the chance to improve the structure of SG and the elections process, leaving the task to future student leaders. This year's SG seems content to call its tenure "productive" based on the number of projects its members completed. But we don't evaluate our con­ gressmen based on how many hours of community service they do, and, as such, we should not be content with an SG that does the equivalent. We should judge our "leaders" on how effectively they defend our inter­ ests against those who oppose them, and on how accurately they reflect our view's. Though Fatehi's administration has accomplished much in the way of service, it failed to fulfill its basic obligation: representation. D.C. I n ter n sh ips Each year, ambitious college students swarm to the nation's capital, look­ ing to lock horns with the country's political elite. Sadly, UT students have historically begun such adventures at a distinct disadvantage. With virtual­ ly no university support, prospective interns are left to fend for themselves, thrust into a new job in a strange city. If all goes as planned, that may soon change. Administrators recently announced plans for the Washington, D.C.-based Bill Archer Center, named after the UT alum and Houston congressman. The Center would provide an academic program for students, with future plans for permanent classroom and office space. It's about time. While the state Legislature is flooded with Longhorns, only the most enterprising (and financially durable) students have made it to the nation's capítol. Until the center is completed, University students looking to study or work in Washington have two options. You can apply for an academic pro­ gram with another university, but transferring academic credit back to UT can be tricky. Then there's the do-it-yourself approach: find housing (which can be pricey), shell out for airline tickets and apply for a competitve area intern­ ship (which rarely pays). All of these difficulties beg the question: Why does the nation's largest university have no presence in the nation's capital? A Washington, D.C. internship should be a rite of passage for students of the Department of Government. There's simply no better way to scrutinize the institutions of national government: the White House, Capitol Hill, the media and various interest groups. Further, D.C.-based internships are the most direct route to post-graduate employment. In Washington, connections speak louder than GPAs. Administrators, take note: There's still much work tc be done. In addi­ tion to the Archer School, the University must construct a network of Wash­ ington-based alumni and secure affordable housing for students. Trust us, other schools have already done it. In a world where a graduate's work experience is as important as his aca­ demic achievements, students deserve a place in Washington, D.C., that they can call home. Ul D ecid e H o w S tu d en t F ees A re S pen t What do Texas Revue, The 1 inguists Society and the Filipino Students Association nave in common? They are all student organizations that received pn>- gram funding from the Texas Union CoSponsorship Review Board. The CoSponsorship Review Board is a nine-member student board of the Texas Union Council. Even vear, the Board receives $70,000 of stu­ dent fees to allocate to student organizations for fund­ ing. The Board was created in 1992 as a wav for the Texas Union Council to work with other organiza­ tions to put on programs for the student body. Since then, the activities of the Board have really taken oft. The Board works by having student organizations cosponsor activities with the different committees of the Texas Union Council. When an organization tills out an application it is forwarded to a Union commit­ tee of their choice. That committee decides if it would like to cosponsor the activity. It it does, the Board will review the application for funding. Every year, it is the major supporter of approxi­ mately 60 different programs on campus. These pro­ grams are evenihing from cultural shows to gradu­ ate conferences to distinguished speakers to concerts. The Board strives to cosponsor with a variety of pro­ grams to ensure that a variety of activities can take N ush in H uq G u e s t C o l u m n is t place on campus. Some of the programs funded an1 small; some of the programs am large. Some of the student organizations an' young; some of them are very old. In a university as large of UT, it is important that a variety of student groups have a way to receive funding for their programs. Only when everyone has a wav of funding programs can a forum exist where ideas can flow fiveh This is where the student body comes in. Another great thing about the CoSponsorship Review Board is that it is run by students and it is a service for stu­ dents. The Board is made up of nine members plus an adviser. All members are students at the University. Currently, the Board is looking for new members for next year. The only way to ensure diversity of pro­ grams is to ensure a diverse Board. Not only that, but the Board is one ot the ways students actually have a voice on how their student fees am' spent. This is because the Board's entire budget comes from stu­ dent fees. Applications can be picked up on the fourth floor of the Texas Union Building in the Program office. They am due Monday, April 10. Interviews will be held Wednesday, April 12. The Board will also begin reviewing applications for next fall. Any student organization interested in receiving funding for their program can pick up an application on the fourth floor of the Texas Union Building in the program office. The applications need to bo typed and returned by Friday, April 7. The Board will also be reviewing funding proposals for next fall on a rolling basis beginning the second week of the semester. The application process is the same. The more groups that apply, the better the represen­ tation of the student populace is reflected in our pro­ grams. The CoSponsorship Review Board is a lesser- known group on campus that would be a great resource for many student organizations. It has more funds than either Student Government or Cabinet of College Councils, plus it is committed to great pro­ gramming on campus for the student population. Huq, a journalism senior, is the chair of the Texas Union CoSponsorship Review Board.

JS&lcL T he F iring L ine Rankings flawed You ought to make clear, in reporting the U.S. News & World Rtport rankings, that for the professional schools, the rankings are largely based on non-aca- demic criteria. Academic reputation, for example, only counts for 25 percent of the law school ranking. This is a particular problem for large schools, since other non-academic measures U.S. Neu's employs, like per capita expenditures, favor smaller schools for obvious reasons that are unrelated to academic qual­ ity. Thus, Harvard and Texas, two of the largest law schools in the U.S., are systematically underranked by U.S. News relative to their academic reputation (1st and 12th, respectively; U.S. Neies ranks Harvard 3rd overall and Texas 15th). Brian Letter Professor, UT School of Law Its about the game, people The freedom of speech is a freedom granted in the U.S. constitution. No one argues against this right, but who on God's green earth gave you the slightest misguided hint that you had any RIGHT TO BE HEARD? Say what you will on your own time, but when it comes to public school events such as a foot­ ball game leave your own religion away from the microphone because 1 don't want to hear it. I don't care who your God is or whose team he has chosen to win that day, all I care about is the game. If I have to hear one more time how someone's freedom of speech is being suppressed because they are not allowed to convert me over the loudspeaker I think I'll lose my lunch. Robert Alexander Electrical engineering/Plan II freshman Environmental defense This is a response to the editorial written by Mar­ shall Maher "Invest Wisely, With a Conscience" in The Daily Texan on Mar. 28. I would like to address the part of Mr. Maher's article where he referenced Julia Butterfly Hill, the environmentalist who lived in an ancient (1,000-yr. old) redwood tree for two years protesting deforestation by the Pacific Lumber Com­ pany, and now author of the book The Legacy o f Luna. Maher wrote in his editorial, "What would possess someone to devote more than two years of her life to saving one tree and then sacrifice hundreds to print one book about it? Easy — shameless self-promotion and money." I would have to disagree. First of all, I would like to say that Julia I fill not only saved one tree, but also saved an entire grove of trees that surrounded the tree that she was living in. After successfully saving these trees, Ms. Hill definitely did not forget her passions just to make some money off of a book. All of the prof­ its from The Legacy o f Luna go to the Circle of Life Foundation, which is a non-profit organization founded by Ms. Hill dedicated to the conservation and preservation of forest ecosystems. Also, The Lega­ cy o f Luna is printed on paper made from 30-percent fibers and 70-percent post-consumer recycled Forestry Stewardship Council-certified paper using soy-based ink. No redwood trees were used in the making of this book! There is a difference between responsible and irresponsible use of natural resources. Julia Butterfly Hill can respond to Mr. Maher's or anyone else's questions personally when she is at U Í on Wednesday, April 19, at 7 p.m. in the Texas Union Ballroom, at an event sponsored by the Texas Union Environmental Committee. She will give a free and open-to-all lecture, slide presentation and question- and-answer session.

UGL Y UNIVERSITY News Editor Katy Marquardt texanews@uts.cc.utexas.edu Course to study Texas legislature, Mexican-Americans Antonio Gilb Daily Texan Staff Set against the backdrop of a new legisla­ tive session and an election year when candi­ dates are targeting the minority vote, a new course beginning next fall will examine the relationship betw een M exican-A m ericans and the Texas Legislature. Ramiro Canales, a UT lecturer who will teach the course, said as the Mexican-Ameri- can population grows, their influence on the statehouse will also grow accordingly. The class, entitled Texas Legislature and Mexican-Americans: Empowering the New Majority, will cover such issues as housing, higher education and redistricting — the practice of redrawing existing political maps to reapportion electoral representatives. Canales said the two issues most impor­ tant to Mexican-American voters are higher public education and economic opportunity. "They really resonate with the Mexican- American com m unity because those two issues are the means for upward mobility in this country and this state," Canales said, adding that the next Legislature is especially important because it will be in charge of redistricting. Lisa Montoya, assistant professor of gov­ ernment, said ethnicity does not directly fac­ tor in redistricting. "Republican and Democratic legislatures will draw districts to draw to their electoral advantage and m axim ize their electoral potential," she said. "There are no hard and fast rules except for that one." Montoya said M exican-American repre­ sentation in the Legislature has been histori­ cally mixed. "To the degree of middle-class Mexican- Americans — to the degree they share the same interests as other middle-class Texans — I'd say [they are represented], but for poor Mexican-Americans, I'd say no," Montoya said. Noelle Boyd, a journalism senior and member of University Common Cause, a stu­ dent group that seeks to involve students in government, said she hopes the class will educate more students about Mexican-Amer­ ican issues. "I think minority issues, in general, are overlooked a lot of the time in a lot of seg­ ments in society — specifically in the Legis­ lature and in a public university," she said. "I think that's a tendency society has, but it's not right. The class is something I'm very pleased with."

Africa Week, which runs April 3-9, was established to teach students about African cultures and to change any negative stereotypes students may have of the continent, said Bolaji Sokunbi, president of the organization. "We decided to do this because the general public's view of Africa is limit­ ed to what's on television, such as the news or Discovery Channel," Sokunbi said. Shamiso Maswoswe, vice president of the African Students Association, said it is essential that students see an accurate portrait of Africa. "The media portrays Africa in an extremely negative context, with no civilization, just animals, " she said. A movie session, featunng films from Senegal and Nigena, will be held at the Union TV lounge Tuesday from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Other events will include an Africa Fest Wednesday from 5-7 p.m. on the Main Mall. The festival wall feature African dances, a fashion show of African attire, and information tables detailing each region's culture, history and crafts. African Poetry Night is slated for Thursday from 7-10 p.m. at Barnes & Noble Bookstore on the Drag. Friday, a dinner will be held at Ruby Tuesday's restaurant, 10614 Research Blvd. Those interested can meet in the Jester West lobby at 6:30 p.m. A picnic at Zilker Park will also be held Satur­ day from 2-6 p.m., and a church serv­ ice Sunday at 11 a.m. at Praise Taber­ nacle on MLK Blvd. AP0 holds campus blood drive, April 3-7 Students, faculty and staff can donate blood at several on-campus blood banks this week. Alpha Phi Omega, a UT service fra­ ternity, is hosting the blood drive April 3-7 in conjunction with the M.D. Anderson Medical Center and the Central Texas Regional Blood and Tis­ sue Center. Scott Wilson, mobile team leader of the drive, said blood is in very high demand and that the M.D. Anderson Medical Center needs a large supply of blood, which is required for cancer treatments. "Blood has a shelf life of 40 days, but it gets used as soon as we get it," he said. Kelly Convery, drive coordinator, said the drive collects approximately 3,000 pints of blood during each of its weeklong drives, which are held once a semester. "Each time we come to UT, we replenish the blood supply," Wilson said. Ladonna Davis, a business fresh­ man who donated blood Monday, said she started donating two years ago. "I donated because you never know what will happen — you may need it yourself," she said. The Alpha Phi Omega blood drive is held in front of the Littlefield Man­ sion, on Inner Campus Drive, at the comer of 24th and Speedway, and the comer of 26th and University from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The drive jvill also be held April 3-6 in Jester Concourse, from 9 a.m. to midnight and April 7 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. UHS to provide self­ tests for alcoholism University Health Services will pro­ vide students with information about alcoholism this week as part of a national alcohol screening Wednesday and Thursday. Courtney Cording, coordinator of UHS's Alcohol and Drug Education Prevention programa, said the event's goal is to promote self-assessment and let students know about resources available at the health center. Tables will be set up in front of Robert Lee Moore Hall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both days, where UHS will provide information on assessing alco­ hol use through self-scored alcohol usage tests. Peer advisers will be available to talk one-on-one with students, who can also make appointments with a licensed professional at the event. Cording said UHS is trying to encourage students to take responsi­ bility if they have an alcohol problem because they can only be helped if they are willing to change. This is the second year the screening has been held at the University. The screening annually draws participa­ tion from about 500 universities nationwide, Cording said.

Texas Public Citizen, along with Gray Panthers, a group of senior citi­ zens concerned with equal rights, and several practicing attorneys in Texas said judges who receive contributions from lawyers or clients who may be in their courtrooms may not be impartial. Tom Smith, director of Texas Public Citizen, said the current campaign finance system allows the possibility of judges in Texas to be biased when pre­ siding over a case that includes lawyers or clients who have donated to the judges' campaigns. "The smartest lawyers in Texas wouldn't continue to make donations if it didn't pay off, or if they didn't have a compelling reason to do so," Smith said. He said the goal of Public Citizen and the other plaintiffs is to make the Legislature take note of the lawsuit and reform the current judicial cam­ paign system. Texas is one of seven states with par­ Texas is one of seven states with par- tisan judicial elections, but is the only tisan judicial elections, but is the only state that does not order judges to step down when presiding over contribu­ tors to their campaigns, Smith said. He added that this format may violate the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. According to a 1999 survey conduct­ ed for the state Supreme Court, 99 per­ cent of the attorneys who have appeared before the court believed campaign contributions have some influence on the justices. The same sur­ vey also reported that 86 percent of Texas judges believed campaign con­ tributions had some influence on court decisions. Smith said he believes the survey is evidence that the system should be changed. Public Citizen did not recommend an alternate campaign finance system in its lawsuit, but Smith said there are several available, such as making it necessary for judges to remove them­ selves when scheduled to preside over a contributing attorney. Debbie Dudley Branson, president of Texas Trial Lawyers Association, said judges use "a good amount" of said judges use "a good amount" their time in office raising money for their time in office raising money their campaigns. She said having to raise money during their term is unfor­ tunate, but that those donating are not seeking preferential treatment in the court room. "I can speak on behalf of myself and others when I say lawyers are not look­ ing for favoritism from the judges they donate to," Branson said. "They are looking for fairness in the judges." Branson said while participation in the judicial campaign process from cit­ izens is welcome, lawyers tend to donate more because of the heavy amount of time they spend in the courtroom. Tom Phillips, Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice, said he does not think the current system is a good one, but judi­ reform cial shouldn't be an issue addressed in court. campaign financing " I f s a bad system that impairs pub­ lic confidence in the courts, but in a democratic society, repair of it ought to be by the Legislature and the people, and not by federal court order," Phillips said in a statement.

Davis/DAILY TEXAN STAFF TEXAS BRIEFS Bush shows interest in environmental issues Gov. George W. Bush outlined a six-point plan Monday to dean up the environment and redevelop abandoned industrial sites. In a speech in Pittsburgh, Bush said the cleanup and redevelopment of the sites, known as brownfields, represent the "coopera­ tive spirit and results-oriented" approach he will take in his presidency to solve the nation's environmental problems. Bush added that an estimated 450,000 brownfields tarnish the landscapes of commu­ nities throughout the United States. "The old system of mandate, regulate and litigate only sends potential developers off in search of greener pastures — literally," he said. "Brownfields get passed over, while green­ fields get paved over." To combat what he considers one of the many environmental challenges facing the country, Bush said he will direct the Environ­ mental Protection Agency to establish high standards for the cleanups as well as remove legal obstacles that prevent them. He added that he will focus the federal gov- emmenfis efforts on developing cleanup tech­ niques and technologies. But Kathleen Begala, communication direc­ tor at Vice President A1 Gore's presidential headquarters, said Gore has had a longer Tds- tory of fighting for the environment, adding that Bush currently presides over a state that ranks low in air, water and soil quality and that Houston recently surpassed Los Angeles in air pollution. "If there's any issue where there is a clear distinction between the two, this is the clear­ est," Begala said. "What has Bush done in the past five years for Texas — when it comes to environment, Bush needs to clean up his own record." Rick Perry announces new insurance program Lt. Gov. Rick Perry announced Monday the launch of the second phase of the Children's Health Insurance Program, for which an esti­ mated 500,000 children are expected to qualify. The CHIP program provides various health care benefits to Texas children living in low- or moderate- income families, including regular checkups, immunizations, prescription drugs, hospital visits and dental care. Currently, 1.4 million uninsured children reside in the state, according to the Texas Health and Human Ser­ vices Commission. Under the first phase of the program, Med­ icaid was expanded to include approximately 57,000 children. The health benefits are administered by the TexCare Partnership, a public-private partner­ ship that will enroll families in CHIP, Medicaid and the Texas Healthy Kids Corporation, which is the expansion of Medicaid coverage to include low-income teenagers previously ineligible for the program. "CHIP is a long-term investment in our greatest resource— our children," Perry said in a statement. "The key to a strong Texas in the new millennium is a generation of Texas chil­ dren that is healthy, safe and educated — by insuring the children of working families, we are insuring a future of hope and opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Texas children." Fam ilies eligible for CHIP w ill pay for portions of their health care, ranging from $15 per year to $18 per m onth, depending on the incom e of the q u ali­ fied fam ilies. Families who fall at or below the federal poverty level will pay an annual $15 enroll­ ment fee and low co-payments for medical services, while families with children who qualify for Medicaid pay nothing. To qualify for CHIP coverage, a child must be a Texas resident, under 19, uninsured for at least 90 days, and must meet the income requirements of approximately $34,000 for a family of four. Gov. George W. Bush said because parents and the private insurance market have assisted in the creation of the program, he encourages parents to enroll their children.

Adrians Jaeckle/ DAILY TEXAN STAFF Parisa Continued from page 1 One substantial difference she made in her administration was calling the assembly during the summer session, something that hasn't happened dur­ ing the last decade. Fatehi worked as an advocate for summer students by leading initiatives that pushed for course-instructor surveys for summer classes and dead days before finals during the summer session, a propos­ al the UT Calendar Committee is still considering. Representatives were also required to initiate projects by the end of their term, which resulted in the creation of various programs such as the South Mall Stadium, where away football games could be viewed on a giant out­ door screen on the South Mall, and Hook the Vote. Hook the Vote, a campaign that began last fall to increase student voter turnout and to educate students on referendum issues, was the project of representative Ian Davis, a govern­ ment junior. Fatehi said she was pleased with the project and said it played a big part in an overall effort to increase student participation in gov­ ernment issues as well as improve relations with the Texas Legislature. Fatehi said she hoped the political awareness movement would be a con­ tinuing theme of SG. "Regardless of a November election, it's an overall commitment to civic participation in their government," Fatehi said. Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Vick commended Fatehi for her efforts. "I remember the session of the Leg­ islature last spring in which a number of University issues were considered, and she was frequently asked to speak on behalf of the students," V ick said. "I was very pleased with the way she represented our community in that very important setting." SG also recruited a record number of volunteers, at least 500 more than last year and participated in summer orientation sessions in an effort to reach more students. "I think the thing that is characteristic about Parisa is that she tries to be real inclusive in regard to getting different people who normally aren't prone to get involved, to get involved," said Eric Opjela, government senior and outgo­ ing SG vice-president. While Fatehi acknowledged that she has focused on trying to reach as many students of varying interests as possi­ ble, she asserted a sort of disclaimer to accomplishing this, noting that work­ ing with others bnngs out the best sort of leadership in her. SG president Parisa Fatehi packs up the contents of her office Sunday afternoon, preparing for 2000-2001 president Daron Roberts to move in Tuesday night. Adriane Jaeckle/ DAILY T EX A N STAFF "The most important thing is that nothing that I talk about is about me. All of it is really about me getting to work with other people," she said. "1 hesitate to say anything I did — there was nothing that I did by myself." Working with others seems to be something Fatehi did well, as testimo­ ny of some SG representatives and UT administrators indicates. Randy Thompson, a finance senior and outgoing SG executive director, said he was impressed with Fatehi's effort to maintain good relationships with her representatives. "She tried to make sure we stayed a cohesive group ... fixing things short­ term before they became long-term problems," Thompson said. "Internal­ ly in Student Government, she did a good job , and while that is not required of the president, it is an added bonus of Pansa." While Fatehi recalled many positive aspects of her term, she noted that obstacles presented themselves, and controversy was not foreign to her term. One such controversy arose last Sep­ tember when SG passed a resolution endorsing Proposition 17, which was passed in last November's voter refer­ endum. Proposition 17 modified the way the University is able to access money from the Permanent University Fund, which is an endowment provid­ ing funds for the A&M and UT sys­ tems. The SG constitution, however, pro­ hibits it from making endorsements in any elections, and Fatehi and other SG representatives found themselves in the hot seat. "We admitted that we made a mis­ take," Fatehi said of how she handled the blunder. "It reminded us to be very mindful of our own rules." Fatehi said another challenge was realizing her goals to petition the Texas Legislature successfully. "I feel the Legislature has kind of let us down," she said. "I don't think they have funded us at the level that they should." But Fatehi did not seem to let the experience damper her agenda, and continued to perform her role as presi­ dent on various UT committees and organizations, including the Student Fees Committee. "I felt like she made hard decisions on difficult questions and that she was very fair in the way that she balanced the needs for services with the concern over the cost that students face when they come to the University," Vick said of her place in the committee. Fatehi said SG also petitioned for $1,000 less than their normal $60,000 in student fees, and is striving to create a path for SG that will allow it to require less in student fees. The outgoing assembly has paved the way for the establishment of SG's first endow­ ment, which has been formed by external fund-raising over the year and amounts to nearly $25,000. From fee committees to weekly leg­ islation, Fatehi said she has gained experience as SG president that may contribute to a career in public service^ and noted that she isn't ruling out pol­ itics as a career option. For now she is planning to visit Iran, her birthplace, with her family this summer and study abroad in Spain. She also hopes to obtain an internship in Washington, D.C. in the fall before she returns to graduate next spring. ® The Ex-Students Association presents ESSENTIAL EUROPE May 28 - June 21,2000 Travel to 11 countries in 25 days: England ♦ France ♦ Belgium ♦ Holland ♦ Germany Switzerland ♦ Liechtenstein ♦ Austria ♦ Italy Vatican City ♦ Greece pen to all students!

It was 21 years ago that the cham­ pionship gam e betw een M ichigan State and Indiana State — Magic vs. Bird — changed the landscape of col­ lege basketball. This one may not have the m agni­ tude, but it had the dram a thanks to lim ping the S p artans' Cleaves, leader w ho needed crutches for his injured ankle after celebrating with his teamm ates. “He has the heart of a lion. He has done it for four years, not just one," M ichigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "T hat's w hy you love him . H e's w h at our program em bodies." Cleaves, the g am e's m ost o u t­ stan d in g player, rolled his ankle early in the second half and had to go to the locker room to have it taped. Earlier, he helped the Spar­ tans build a 43-32 halftime lead by scoring 13 points, including going 3- for-3 from three-point range, and negated Florida's vaunted full-court pressure w ith his ballhandling and passing. “I told them he'll be back. Let's not get o u r heads dow n," Izzo said. "I just knew." W hen Cleaves left w ith 16:18 to play, the Spartans led 50-44. His team m ates got the lead to 58-50 by the tim e he returned 4:29 later. But the senior guard w ho missed the first 13 gam es of the season while recovering from a stress fracture in his righ t foot, w as again the team 's em otional leader. His long pass to M orris Peterson for a layup m ade it 60-50. H e was leveled while setting a screen a few m inutes later, but it w as enough to spring A.J.

The Spartans adapted to the style change w ith poise arid precision typical of their senior-laden roster, and they ran to a national title w ith an 89-76 victory. By gam e's end, the Gators w ere pulling on their shorts while the Spartans were shouting at the top of their still-fresh lungs. “We w ere in attack m ode," A.J. G ranger said. "We knew the way to beat the press w as to get the ball upcourt quick and take care of it. We had to take the initiative." Throughout the season, Florida its in tim id ated o p p o n en ts w ith press and wore them dow n with su p erio r conditioning. Florida could do neither against the Spar­ tans and floor general M ateen Cleaves, w ho kept the Spartans cool and collected w hile w aves of G ators roared at them. "It was just staying cool, th at's all it really was," Cleaves said. “They can d isrupt you if you let them, and we did n 't." M ichigan State essentially w on the battle in the gam e's first five m inutes by show ing it w ould use the G ators' pressure against them . Using a variety of long passes and clear-outs for Cleaves, th e Spartans attacked the press aggres­ sively and got the ball dow ncourt so quickly that they rarely needed to run an offensive play in the first half. "I liked the w ay we attacked immediately," coach Tom Izzo said. "We got the ball to the m iddle of the floor and got it u p the court. That's the way w e diagram ed it for them." The tactics led to several layups and easy shots btfo re m ost fans had settled in their seats in the RCA Dome. Michigan State scored on seven of eight possessions in the first five m inutes and led 17-11 before the first tim eout. "W hat they were doing w as hit­ ting the sideline and then slashing M ateen Cleaves over the top, and they were h itting him ," Florida coach Billy D onovan said.

The Reds blew a three-run lead and w ound up tied w ith the M ilw aukee Brew ers 3-3 in the sixth inning w hen the tarp w as sum m oned. The city's notoriously fickle opening d ay w eather broke just long enough for Ju n io r to get a 20-second pregam e ov a­ tion, go 0-for-2 and see his father shed a tear over his long-aw aited return. “It was aw esom e," Junior said, wearing a team w'armup jacket and his cap turned backwards in his tradem ark style. “It was som ething I w'asn't expecting. It was fun. "T h e biggest thing is it rem inded me of my first opening day 12 years ago." Seattle had a dome as insurance against its many davs like this. In Cincinnati, the largest regular-season crowd in stadium history could do nothing but break out the parkas, peak through the umbrellas and wait.

It w as the first time in the ma]ors that team s opened with a tie since April 12, 1965, w h en the St. L ou is-C h icag o gam e at W rigley Field was called because of d ark ­ ness after 11 innings with the score 10-10. "I d id n't think M other N ature w ould en ter into the equ ation, but she did, unfortunately," Lopes said. She stepped back just long enough for Ju nio r and the city to say hello. The 55,596 fans gave Junior the loudest and longest pregam e ovation before the rain cam e into play. W earing long red sleeves and a batting glove on his right hand only, Ju n io r bounced out of the dugout w hen his nam e was called fourth, took his rightful place along the first baseline and w aved his cap in all directions. H e was taken aback. "I just didn't know what to expect," he said. “I knew there would be noise. I didn't figure it would be that loud, that long." N either did his father, w ho w as in the dugout. "It w as ju st great to have him hom e," said Ken Sr., the clu b 's bench coach. “My em otions w ere m ixed. The ovation w as great. I did n 't know how I w as going to handle it. I had a little tear in my eye." It w as perfect ... alm ost. H is mother, Birdie, w as w aiting for the stadium eleva­ tor at that m om ent. "I m issed it," she said.

Griffey cou ld n't get the ball out of the infield in his tw o at-bats. H e nervously popped out in the first and grounded out in the third. "I w as just trying to pick out a good pitch, and I sw ung at som e pretty bad o n es," he said. H ad the gam e co n tin u ed , G riffey w ould have been first up for the Reds' in the sixth.

He had hom ered in three consecutive op eners and w as tied w ith Babe Ruth and five others at second place on the career list, one behind Frank R obinson. The streak ended Monday. "O f course, it w ould have been nice to see him hit one out and see w hat kind of reception he w ould have received ," m an­ ager Jack M cK eon said. “But it w o n 't be long.

The Spartans (32-7), the only top- seeded team to reach the Final Four, finished 33-for-59 from the field (56 percent), the best against F lorid a's frantic pace by far in the tou rn a­ ment.

With the press ineffective and Michigan State about to pull away, the Gators were forced to try to match the Spartans basket for basket. Florida cou ld n 't do it, as M ichigan State played its usual tough defense and got several baskets in transition even when the Gators w eren't pressing. T h e G ato rs d id n 't sco re o ff a turnover forced by their press until 9:09 rem ained in the gam e. But after Florida got a layup on that play, the Spartans im m ediately attacked once ag ain, and M o rris P eterso n got behind the d efense and converted a three-point play.

In the West, the eighth seed is to be avoided. In the East, it is craved. "Yeah, w e'd rather try to avoid the eight spot. But if it's the Lakers, it's the Lakers," said Seattle's Horace Grant, w hose team dropped deeper into the Western Conference's final playoff slot Sunday w ith a 95-82 loss to Portland. The Sonics enter the home stretch trailing the seventh-place Sacram en­ to Kings by 1 1 / 2 games. Unless they find a way to catch up, they will m eet the league's hottest team in the first round. Phil Jackson's team, or maybe it should be called Shaquille O 'N eal's team, has been unstoppable the past tw o months, winning 29 of 30 and 14 straight at home. The Lakers' latest victory w as a 106-82 m anhandling of the N ew York Knicks, one of the best team s in the Eastern Conference. "They're a championship-caliber team, and w hat they show ed us today is how far away we are," New York coach Jeff Van G undy said. "We have 17 days to get ourselves im proved enough to be in the best team 's league." With the top eight teams in the West having long ago separated them selves from the pack, the race to sim ply make the playoffs is confined to the East. a The su rprisin g O rlando Magic (37-36) have gained strong foothold on the No. 8 spot, building a two-game lead on the Milwaukee Bucks (35-38). But M ilwaukee has the easier schedule, playing the Bulls and W izards tw o times each while the Magic m ust play Miami, San Antonio, Philadelphia, New York and Toronto. "Now, we have a little bit of a schedule where if we can keep w in­ ning, it will be OK," Bucks coach George Karl said. The Bucks and Magic will play each other two more times — next M onday night and the following M onday night — before the season ends on Wednesday, April 19. The playoffs begin Saturday, April 22 . The Lakers have been holding the No. 1 seed in the West since beating the Portland Trail Blazers on Feb. 29, and they need only tw o more victo­ ries or Portland losses to clinch hom e-court advantage throughout the postseason. The Leap Day loss to the Lakers seemed to deflate the Blazers, start­ ing them on a fall of eight losses in 14 games. S h a q u ille O’N eal and the Lakers are c le a rly the c la s s of the N B A at the moment. A S S O C IA T E D P R E SS Kobe, Childs suspended for fight A sso cia te d Press NEW YORK — Chris Childs of the N ew York Knicks and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers w ere fined and suspended by the NBA on M on­ day for fighting. for C hilds w as suspended w ith ou t pay fined tw o gam es and $15,000. Bryant w as su sp en d ed w ithout pay for one gam e and fined $5,000. NBA vice president Rod Thorn said Childs instigated the fight and threw punches d u rin g S u n d ay 's nationally televised game. Bryant w as disciplined for responding with a punch. The skirm ish in Los Angeles h ap­ pened w ith 43 seconds left in the third quarter and the Lakers leading 71-60. The Lakers won 106-82, their 28th victory in 29 games. Childs will not play Thursday at home against W ashington and Fri­ day at Orlando. Bryant will sit out Tuesday's game in Phoenix. Lakers coach Phil Jackson came to Bryant's defense after the game. "It is pretty m uch a natural reac­ tion for a player who takes a punch and doesn't see it coming, then he is going to react to it," he said. "I am sorry about that, but it is probably hum an instinct." The fight began w hen B ryant came around a screen and appeared to clip Childs in the chin with an elbow. While play continued, the two exchanged w ords and bum ped chests. C hilds th rew tw o punches, appearing to hit Bryant in the neck and upp er chest. Bryant missed with a punch. Neither player w as hurt. The game was delayed for nearly five m inutes before the players left the court — Bryant angrily, Childs m ore peacefully. "H e hit me in the elbow in the m outh, and I just reacted," Childs said. "He does it a lot and never gets called for it. I just had to defend myself. I wish it h a d n 't happened, b ut there's nothing I can do about it now." The gam e becam e more physical in the third quarter, and Shaquille O 'N eal blam ed the Knicks for the confrontation. "Everyone know s Kobe is a clean- cut kid," he said. "H e w as protecting himself." Men’s golf grabs 2nd in Augusta Jeremy Bailey D a ily Te xa n S ta ff Matt Brost added a second career best to his spring-season repertoire and led Texas — in the absence of M asters entry D avid Gossett — to a second-place tie at the A ugusta State Invitational this weekend. The sophom ore finished the tour­ nam ent Sunday at 7-under 209 for second place — the sam e score he posted for a second-place finish in Las Vegas three weeks ago. "The 69 today was really good in terms of trying to be competitive and trying to win a golf tournament," head poach John Fields said of Brost's third round. "H e didn't quite get it done, but he w as pushing it all day to try and get there. He just came up short." Brost entered the third round in fifth place after shooting a 73 and 67 in the 36-hole form at Saturday. He finished tw o strokes off the lead behind W offord's William. McGirt, w ho w on the tournam ent at 9-under 207. The No. 20 Longhorns as a team finished tied for second w ith No. 12 Duke and N.C. State at 7-under 857, just three shots behind the winner, A ugusta State. Tennessee finished five shots behind Texas for third place. Russell Surber was instrum ental to the Longhorn team effort as its third-round w orkhorse after missing the last tournam ent in Austin. He posted six birdies and no bogies Sunday for a career-best 66 to give him a 1-over 217 total for 26th. TEXAS MEN’S GOLF "H e h ad m ononucleosis, and th at's not good for anybody," head coach John Fields said. "H e w asn't able to play for us in A ustin after h aving played so well for us in Vegas, so th at was frustrating." Surber m anaged to overcome the m anifestations of the illness in Las Vegas in M arch to finish a strong 20th and help give Texas a fourth- place finish there. "H e kind of w orked som e of the ru st off and got th a t golf swing w orking again, and then cam e back w ith a 66, which w as phenom enal," Fields added. Freshm an J.J. Wall finished 15th as the second-best finisher for Texas w ith a 2-under 214 after a second round 69 on Saturday. Texas p ut itself in a tough spot at 6-over going into the second round of play. "It got off to a little bit of a rough start here the first round," Fields said. "We tried to w in the golf tour­ nam ent, and it d id n 't quite happen this time." The Longhorns got a quick glance at the greatest golfers in the w orld as they stayed in A ugusta an extra day to w atch G o ssett's first practice round at A ugusta N ational Monday. N ow the team sets its sights Big 12 Conference C ham pionship April 24- 25 in Hutchinson, Kan. Gossett will rejoin the team there after playing in the M asters, which begins Thursday. Women disappoint at Classic Cliff Despres D a ily T e xa n S t a f f Last year, the Texas w om en's golf team followed u p a victory at the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Classic w ith a ninth-place finish at the Liz in M urphey C ollegiate C lassic A thens, Ga. In 2000, after a strong second place show ing at the Longhorn Classic in mid-M arch, a smell of repeating history lingered in the air at the par-73 course in Georgia this past weekend. Indeec^, it turned out that the No. 13 Longhorns could not out­ run history, finishing in a tie for eighth place Sunday at the M ur­ phey Classic after posting a three- dav score of 929 (+53). That team total of 929 w as six strokes b etter last y ea r's th an score, but the eighth-place finish w as nearly identical. For the sec­ ond straight year, the Longhorns m anaged to sq uander any m om en­ tum the L onghorn Classic had given them. No. 2 Duke snatched the tourna­ m ent victory with a team total of 875 (-1), while hom etow n favorite Georgia finished in third w ith a 23- over-par 899. Texas was only nine shots off the TEXAS WOMEN'S 60LF lead after shooting an im pressive opening round 300, but finished a disappointing 54 strokes behind Duke. "We d id n 't play as w ell as w e w anted to, but I am h ap p y w ith S uzanne's play," said Texas head coach Susan W atkins of junior Suzanne Sowers. "She's playing well right now." Sow ers paced the L onghorns in d iv id u a lly along w ith senior Stacy Sewell, w ho each shot a 13- over-par 232 to tie for 29th place. Sowers blasted a 73 in the opening round of the tournam ent, her best round this year. Sewell also scored a season-low round of 73, but hers came in the second round on Sat­ urday. Texas' most consistent players had a rougher time at the M ur­ phey Classic. Junior Laura Blessey finished in a tie for 52nd place (238, +19), w hile so p hom ores Kristin D ufour and Randi M ead­ ows also played below their nor­ mal levels. D ufour tied for 37th place (234, +15), w hile M eadow s only fin­ ished one spot better at 36th (233, +14). "I think so far Randi has been a little disappointed w ith her play," W atkins said. "But I am okay because sh e'll break through. She d eserves to play well." I know D uke's Beth Bauer w on the ind i­ vidual contest, shooting a 6-under- par 213. N ow heading into regional and national play, the Longhorn lineup m ight have gotten a bit clearer after the strong perform ances from Sowers and Sewell. Those tw o vet­ eran golfers could a d d the needed experience to Texas' youthful core of Dufour, M eadow s and fresh­ m an Jessica Reese. "W e h a v e n 't seen th eir best ro u n d s yet," W atkins said of her team . "The talent h a s been there, and now w e need to co n v ert as w e go in to re g io n a l c o m p e ti­ tio n."

They took a step in the right direction against the Stanley C up champions. Phil Housley scored the tying goal w ith 6:52 left M onday night as the Flames rallied from a two-goal third- period deficit for a 2-2 tie with the Dallas Stars. The point helped the 10th-place Flames in their longshot p ursuit of the eighth and final W estern Confer­ ence playoff spot.

"We've had 14 guys out of the lineup, but w e'v e still worked so hard. It's a character thing." Jeff Shantz broke up the bid of Stars backup goalie M anny Fernan­ dez for his second career shutout. S h an tz scored on a pow er-play deflection at 8:27 of the final period to narrow Dallas' lead to 2-1. H ousley got the Flames even with a fluke goal from the right corner w hen his centering pass w ent into the net off F ernandez's stick. Fernan­ dez played in place of Ed Belfour, w ho was being rested. Calgary has three gam es rem ain­ ing, and Flames goalie Fr°d Brath- w aite said his team w on't be out­ w orked the rest of the way. "We h aven't given up," said Brath- waite, who made 25 saves. "To come back against the Stanley Cup champs, it show s how much w e w ant it." D allas' Brett Hull scored his 610th career goal to tie his father, Bobby, for ninth place on the career list. Hull blasted a one-timer past Brath- w aite at 7:29 of the second period on a pow er play to give the Stars a 2-0 lead. H ull has 24 goals this season. Bobby Hull played for Chicago from 1957-58 to 1971-72 and also played in the NHL w ith Winnipeg and Hartford in 1979-80. He scored 303 goals with Winnipeg in the World Hockey Associ­ ation from 1972-73 to 1978-79. The H ulls are the only father-son com bination in league history with at least 600 goals. Bobby H ull w asn't at the game, but father and son got together recently w hen the Stars w ere in Chicago to talk about their accomplishments. "I never thought it w ould hap­ pen," Brett Hull said. "It w as a nice w ay to get it [on a p ow er play with his sig n atu re one-tim e shot]. It's quite an honor. H e's a Hall of Fame player. To grow up a part of w hat he did, and then to accom plish this, it's .something I'm very proud of." Win $ 150,000 in Garage.com’s Ultimate Student Business Plan Got a great business idea?

The Wizard o f Oz is here again, follow in g the prece­ dent of m any a D isney film by taking to the ice. A ll things told, how ever, thanks to fantastic pro­ d u ctio n valu es and a b e v y of h ig h ly skilled skaters, this w eek­ e n d 's prod uction at the Frank E r w in Center was a w o rth y hom ­ age to its classic predecessor. B u t w h y w o uld anyone w a n t to add ice to a show so elaborate in its o rig in a l form ? A standard m usical production w o u ld elicit a profitable response from the gen­ eral public, but I d on't recall the last tim e I w en t to a traditional theater like the Param ount and saw stuffed anim als, plastic fig­ urines, pizza, churros, cotton candy, flashing sw ords and tw in ­ kling w ands for sale. The arena m entality allo w s the parents in the au dience not to cringe (as m uch) when their children get so much direct-m arketing eye candy that they w o n 't rest u n til they get the real thing in their hot little hands. But there's another more crucial aspect to the 'on ice' production: the vocals. T h e skaters are too breathless after their non-stop acrobatics and over-emphasis to be able to speak and sing their own roles. Instead, they just lip-synch to the vocals provided by an actress for Dorothy, and Bobby M cFerrin for everybody else. M cFerren does surprisingly well, shifting through each character, giving each its due w ith distinction and flair. M aybe his hiatus from the public eye after "D o n 't Worry, Be H a p p y " is finally justified. came W ith o u t the burden o f speak­ ing, the skaters/actors w ere able to pull off a number of feats that defied the chaotic nature of ice acrobatics.

C o n tra ry to m y past assertions about the qualifications for being a pup pet's derriere in a live p er­ form ance, after seeing some of the other costumes in the show, the anonym ity afforded by the horse m ight be a w elcom e opportunity. C larence Sw en so n , an alum from the orig inal M G M movie, was present for photos before the show. He w a s the o n ly M unchkin So ld ier in attendance w h o was actually a m idget. None of the performers was of small size, to the disappointm ent of more than a few, though the distance from most seats to the ice and a little squinting could have p rovid ed the necessary illusion. The Wizard of O z on Ice followed the original in most aspects, and even went one better bv including the "Jitte rb u g " scene that w'as deleted. A full song-and-dance routine, in w hich a troupe of jit­ tering insects delays our group for a few' minutes w ith a little shake- up, follow s the W icked W itch's order to the flyin g monkeys to capture D o ro th y and her com ­ rades. The cut seems warranted for the film and is not crucial to the current production, but the jit­ duo, im p re s siv e terbug is one of the better digres­ sions into pure ice-skating show­ manship. The tw'o lead bugs form an g lid in g around the rink in w'hat w ould, in an y other context, m ake for a hig h lv suggestive d isp lay of erot­ ic exhibitionism but appears here as a beautiful tribute to the grace of the jitter. No modern look at Oz w'ould be com plete w ith out m entioning the curious being lu rking just beneath the surface of one of A m erica's m o st- treasu red epics.

He is responding to his w ife 's suggestion that he has pushed his sons into a violent sport merely to recapture his own g lo ry days. H e has, of course. H is w ife know s it, his sons know it and more im portantly, the audience know's it. Price of Glory could be described as that seven dollars y o u 'v e paid to see this sort of film before. It's Rocky meets Gypsy, a boxer version of an overbearing stage father pressuring his kids to be the success he alm ost was. Price of Glory, directed by Carlos A vila, has a prosaic plot peppered w ith overw helm in g sports clichés in clu d in g the Big Fig ht ending and the overbearing dad carica­ ture. The script — w'ritten by Phil Berger — insists on m aking A rturo a one-dimensional tyrant, w hich o n ly w'orks to overshadow Sm its' powerhouse performance. A rturo is like one of those parents at a dance recital who pushes his cry­ ing, petrified tod d ler on stage, destroying his k ids' egos w h ile inflating his own. W e're first introduced to A rturo in 1977, w hen he is knocked out at a cham pionship boxing match, a defeat from w hich he never recov­ ers.

Jo h n n y (Ern esto H e rn a n ­ dez) has caught the eye of high- pow ered boxing prom oter R ick Everson (Ron Perlm an), who tries to persuade A rturo that Joh n n y w o u ld be better off w ith a more pow erful manager. Jim m y (C lifton Collins, Jr.) and Sonny (Jon Seda) have already signed w'ith Everson, but Jo h n n y remains fiercely loyal to his father. This sparks a tragedy mid-movie that forces the Ortega fam ily tensions to rise to the sur­ face, o n ly to conveniently vanish by film 's end. The tragedy is w h o lly unneces­ sary, occurring only because the plot dem ands it; som ehow, the Ortega men have to become dis­ traught enough to verbalize their m anly emotions. This makes Price of Glory seem less like a hard- edged boxing m ovie or a m edita­ tion on fa m ily dyn am ics, and m ore lik e a vio le n t episode of Touched by an Angel.

The film is set in A rizona, and Beato expertly cap ­ tures the rustic charm of the sm all tow n w here the Ortegas live. S u n ­ sets are view ed in all their breath­ taking glory, as are clear sum m er skies, contrasting the dark, claus­ tro p h o b ic the characters ring choose to inhabit. The fight scenes are the h ig h ­ lights of the film , and allow an appeasing alternative to actually co n fro n tin g the ab su rd ity of macho posturing; to think, men pound on each other to procure a sh in y n ew belt.

I don't have a top five.' That's hardly the case for Rob Gordon the obsessive list-making vinyl afidona- do he plays in High Fidelity. But having been through his share of messy breakups, Cusack can certainly relate to a character dealing with a merciless split. Talking with him on the phone, you feel that same balance of sensitive and sensible that makes Rob Gordon such a likable, easygoing guy in the movie: That balance explains a lot about why High Fidelity feels so natural. "I think if you talk to most guys, they'll tell you that Rob is pretty much dead o n ” Cusack said, "as far as the emotions and contradictions we feel about being intimate or committing to a w om an or the circus in our head." Cusack laughs. 'Tm sure the arcus would be equally insane if it was inside a woman's head. But being a film about the male perspective, I think ifs pretty accurate." itse lf so e v e ry th in g , from b lu n t ree n a c t­ m en ts p a in fu l b re a k u p s to m o m en ts of delirio u s (and u n re q u ite d ) fantasy. h is m o st of "The thing about the character in the book is that he plays the fool beautiful­ ly," Cusack said. "He's sort of lazy and inert; he's kind of in denial, and it7s real­ ly hard for him to be honest. He sort of drags his feet and all that. But J think there's another contradictory, redemp­ tive side of the character that has a great capacity for honesty. Most people shy aw'av from looking at painful truth, but some of those painful truths are also the funniest." And that endearing hum or and sin­ cerity certainly shows in the movie, which springs from a bestselling novel by Nick Hornby. Cusack adapted the book with screenwriting partners D.V DeVincents and Steve Pink, who grew up with Cusack in Chicago. After Cusack found success in Hollywood, he encouraged them to join him. "Look, these people out here have nothing on you," he remembered telling them. "Come on out, and let's make some movies!" The trio of longtime friends first col­ laborated on a film with Grosse they immediately identified with the situations and set about transplanting it to familiar venues in Chicago. "1 knew where he used to spin records; I knew' he went to the Green Mill when he w'as depressed. I just sort of saw’ it all," Cusack said. "I knew' where the record shop wras. I knew actually where two of them wrere, the exact record shop where Rob, Dick and Barry worked. And I'm sure that most other people in other cities across the country probably know that record shop too in a strange wray, so it all made sense to me." Some authors carefully monitor the way their material is adapted for the screen though Cusack found Hornby to be surprisingly open to their sugges­ tions. "We asked [Hornby] if it would real­ ly bother him if wre set it in the States," Cusack recalled, "and he said, 'No, not at all.' He said he thought that his book was about a lot more than the street where the record store was set in Lon­ don. He thought it wras about people's obsessive love affair with music, and about men and their relationships to women and themselves." to H igh F id elity m akes e n d e a rin g by e a rn in g o u r trust, sed u cin g us th ro u g h honesty.
