arrested on drug charges

By Bob Jones
Daily Texan Staff

Texas running back Cedric Benson was 
arrested early Saturday morning on charges 
of alleged possession of marijuana under 
two ounces, possession of drug parapher­
nalia and possession of alcohol by a minor.
The arrest was made in Benson's home­
town of Midland, but the Big 12 Offensive 
Player of the Year posted bond Saturday 
morning and was back on campus Monday.
Marijuana possession is a Qass B mis­
demeanor, which can result in up to six 
months in prison and a $2,000 dollar fine.

Qie other two charges are Qass C misde­
meanors and can carry a fine of up to $500.
"We got a call about 2 o'clock on 
Saturday morning about loud music and 
loud noise in the Windtree Apartments," 
said Tina Jauz, a representative of the 
Midland Police Department. "The officers 
responded, and gained entry into the 
apartment. They found both Mr. Benson 
and a female, and both were arrested on 
the Qass B misdemeanor and on both 
Qass C misdemeanors."

According to the Midland County 
Detention Center, Benson and Melanie 
Robinson, 20, arrived at the center at 2:17

a.m. Saturday. Both posted the bond of 
$1365 later that morning.

to 

According 

Jauz, Benson and 
Robinson originally wouldn't let Midland 
Officer Jeff Handley enter the apartment, 
but eventually relented. Sgt. Dale Seago 
that 
told the Midland Reporter-Telegram 
Benson has not been targeted due to his 
fame, because, "nobody really knew who 
was who."

However, Brian Carney, Benson's 
Midland lawyer, doubted the validity of 
the arrest in an interview with television 
station News 8 Austin.

"It's a pretty bad scenario for Cedric

having to endure this type of publicity for 
something he didn't do," Camey told the 
TV station. "Cednc did not commit the 
offense he has been charged with. The 
search that transpired is definitely going to 
be an issue in this case. Cedric Benson is a 
nice kid ... and it's a shame that this has 
happened. We're all verv disappointed in 
the Midland police."

In the fall, the running back led the 
Longhorns in rushing (1,053 yards), all 
purpose yards (1,256 yards), and touch­
downs (13), despite starting only seven 
games.

Town shaken 
by Cooke s 
disappearance

Editor's note: This is the second in a three-part series examining the 
disappearance of Georgetown resident Rachel Cooke.

Compared to the more cosmopolitan Austin, there isn't a lot 
to the city of Georgetown, population 28,339 — it's small, it's 
quiet, it7s safe — people say.

But now, more than three months after Georgetown native 
Rachel Cooke disappeared while jogging near her home, new 
words describe the town just north of Austin — a little danger­
ous, and the people are a little warier, a Little more cautious, 
more suspicious.

News of Rachel's disappearance shook Georgetown resi­
dents to their core and heightened their sense of awareness — 
that their seemingly safe town and neighborhoods might har­
bor danger lurking in the shadows.

Nothing like this has ever Happened before in Georgetown, 

some say.

Georgetown has been described as a good place to raise a 
family — not a lot of crime, a lot of open air and spaces, good 
schools. That was one reason why the Cookes moved into their 
Northlake neighborhood 15 years ago — to raise their two girls 
in - v environment that was safe, where the) could ride their 
bikes without worry.

Now, parents are more wary of letting their kids out of their 
sight, are more cautious about running alone, because of the 
disappearance of Rachel Cooke.

Donna Rigueira lives near the Cookes in Northlake. She says

See COOKE, Page 2

Rachel Cooke disappeared Jan. 10 
while jogging in her Georgetown 
neighborhood of Northlake, less 
than 200 yards from her home.
She was last seen wearing a green 
sports bra, gray running shorts, 
white tennis shoes and carrying a 
yellow Walkman.

Physical description: 
Height: 5’2 ”
Weight: 120 lbs.
Eye color: hazel 
Hair color: blonde with 
auburn streaks

She has multiple piercings in 
her ears and a pierced belly 
button. She also has a tattoo 
of two heart-shaped cherries 
on her left shoulder and a 
black star on her left foot.

If you have any information as to her whereabouts, 
please contact the Williamson County Sheriff’s 
Department at (512) 943-1300.

Student Health Center evacuated, 5 7 firefighters on scene

By Katherine Pace
Daily Texan Staff

UT students and workers evacuated the 
former Student Health Center on Monday 
after smoke coming from the air handling 
system set off alarms in the building.

The building, located on the comer of 
Dean Keeton Street and University Avenue, 
houses the Study Abroad Office, the 
International Office and KVRX radio sta­
tion. Because most of the offices are vacant, 
there were no more than 75 people in the 
building, all of whom were evacuated 
when the smoke alarm went off. No one 
was injured.

Austin Fire Department Lt. David 
Belknap said the smoke was caused by 
burnt air filters located in a return air duct in 
the basement.

The duct was situated near an outside 
inlet that most likely sucked a cigarette or 
match into the air handling unit. Once the 
vents ignited, the air handling system

spread the smoke throughout all five of the 
building's floors.

Belknap said large buildings often have 
outside air inlets to bring fresh air into the 
building.

Frances Lewis, executive assistant direc­
tor for the International Office, said she 
called the police after she saw smoke com­
ing up the air conditioning vents at about 
3:50 p.m.

"Boy, they got here fast," said Lewis. 
"[The firemen] got here before I could get 
my purse and get out the front door."

Alexis Wolstein, volunteer director for 
KVRX, was also in the building before it 
was evacuated.

"We were down at the station around 4 
p.m., and we noticed there was a smell of 
smoke in the building," said Wolstein, an 
English junior. "Then we noticed that there 
was actual smoke coming down through 
the vents."

Wolstein said she was also surprised how

quickly the fire bucks arrived at the scene.

"As I was crossing the street one of the 
first fire trucks came up," Wolstein said. "So 
it was a matter of minutes. It was very 
quick."

Despite the smoke, KVRX station man­
ager Rosa Madriz was back in the building 
at 6 p.m. to prepare to go on air at 7 p.m.

The Austin Fire Department has an aver­
age dtywide response time of four minutes, 
Belknap said. Because the former SHC is a 
five-story building, the fire department 
treated the alarm as a high-rise alarm, 
which requires sending at least four fire 
engines, three ladder trucks and one rescue 
unit. Belknap said the fire department sent 
a total of 21 units and 57 firefighters to the 
scene.

"Part of that's for the logistics of fighting 

a fire," Belknap said.

Belknap added that other firefighting 
units in fixe city were rerouted in case of 
another alarm.

Deal to free Arafat approved
RAM ALLAH, West Bank — Israel said 
Monday that a breakthrough agreement had 
set Yasser Arafat free after five months con­
fined to his compound, but the Palestinian 
leader stayed put for fear Israeli forces would 
storm the building and seize wanted militants 
inside.

Still, if the agreement sticks, one of three 

tense confrontations should be resolved in 
the coming days.

Lottery winner to be revealed
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. — The big has­

sle over the Big Game jackpot is over.

New Jersey lottery officials said Monday 
that the person due one-third of the $331 
million prize will be revealed Tuesday — 
and it won’t be anyone from an office pool 
that claimed to have the winning ticket. 
They ended up with $2 after a dispute 
that involved two lawyers and a lottery 
review.

The winning ticket was one of three 
from the April 16 drawing for the second- 
biggest lottery prize in U.S. history.

Court rejects suicide appeal
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Europe’s leading 

human rights court threw out an appeal 
Monday by a terminally ill and paralyzed 
British woman who wants her husband to 
help end her life.

Diane Pretty, 43, suffers from a motor neu­

ron disease that has left her paralyzed from 
the neck down and confined to a wheelchair.
Pretty brought her case to the European 
court after Britain’s highest appeals court ruled 
that her husband could not be guaranteed 
immunity from prosecution if he helped her 
die. Helping someone else commit suicide is a 
crime punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
A sevenjudge panel of the European Court of 
Human Rights sided with British authorities.

Fertility study provides insight
LONDON — Human fertility starts to 
decline earlier than previously believed, new 
research suggests, providing the most pre­
cise insight yet into when biological clocks 
start ticking loudly — at age 27 for women 
and 35 for men.

And while the decline in human fertility tied 

to aging had traditionally been attributed to 
the female, the study, published Tuesday in 
the journal Human Reproduction, showed that 
men's fertility starts dwindling after 35.

Teen charged in poisoning plot
VILLI SC A, Iowa — A teen-ager has been 
charged with administering a dangerous sub­
stance after he allegedly plotted to poison 
the punch at the Villisca High School prom.
Robert David Dumler, 15, initially faced a 
more serious felony charge of terrorism. But 
Montgomery County Attorney Bruce Swanson 
said Monday that the terrorism charge must 
involve firing a weapon or the use of an incen­
diary device.

Dumler was arrested Friday on reports that 

he planned to spike the punch with a sub­
stance that would make people seriously ill or 
kill them, Police Chief Butch Rulla said.

Former Clinton official finds 
faults with education plan

By Courtney Morris
Daily Texan Staff

The former assistant secretary for civil 
rights addressed the impact of a new edu­
cation reform plan as part of the 16th 
Annual Américo Paredes Distinguished 
Lecture at the Bass Lecture Hall Monday.
Norma Cantu, who served in the 
U.S. Department of Education under 
the Clinton administration, addressed 
the effects of the No Child Left Behind 
Act in her speech, titled "Protecting 
our Right to Read: Implications of the 
No Child Left Behind Act."

The act, which was signed into law by 
President Bush, aims to improve the pub­
lic education system by implementing 
stricter standardized testing measures, 
increasing funding for schools with suc­

cessful curriculum and allowing parents 
to choose which public schools their chil­
dren will attend.

Cantu addressed the positive and nega­

tive aspects of the new act.

"They7re saying 'No child left behind' 
in the past tense, like they've already done 
it," Cantú said.

Cantu said a few of the act7 s flaws are its 
ambiguity surrounding parental involve­
ment in public education, the limitations it 
sets on innovative teaching methods and 
its rigid criteria for gauging the success of 
public schools. Cantú said the way educa­
tion has been researched has historically 
excluded minorities, disabled students 
and students from economically disad­
vantaged areas.

"The issue is funding, ,of course,"

Volunteers sacrifice

By Jennifer Mock

Victor Morales' campaign coordi­
nator for Bexar County turned his 
apartment into a campaign office, 
paid a $400 cell phone bill and 
stayed up until 2 or 3 a.m. every day 
working for the campaign — all for 
free.

Additionally, he is a student at 
UT-San Antonio, taking 18 hours of 
coursework while doing an intern­
ship for Bexar County Judge 
Nelson Wolff. And then his candi­

politicians would [have given] me 
this opportunity."

effort, Suarez said any student 
could have done the work he did 
for any candidate.

"You just have to assume the 
responsibility and show you can do 
the job," he said.

Now that Morales has lost his 
senate campaign to Ron Kirk, the 
former mayor of Dallas, Suarez said 
he is going to place his focus back 
on school and try to bring his 
grades up. He also said he has been 
offered several other campaign 
opportunities, including working 
with Janet Reno's gubernatorial

campaign in Florida, which he is 
considering.

Josh Campbell, a UT government 
sophomore and media director for 
the UT College Republicans, said he

Texas campaigns and taking 15

C am p b ell said he decided to stay in 
A u s tin for the sum m er to continue 
helping the campaigns. 1 le said he 
already sp en d s about 2 5 -3 0 hours a 
week volunteering and expects that 
time to g ° UP even m ore as the 
November election d raw s near.

The time is well spent, Campbell 
said, especially w hen the candidate 

wins.

"The more you p u t into it, the

he said. " The best w ay to see some­

do it yo u rself by helping out people

" lime management is the kind of

Not only is Cam pbell volunteering

"I don't know if I will ever run for

will be involved in my future career 
goals," he said. "The best candidates are 
those that run on some sort of convic­
tion they have, so they can't plan it out 
years in advance."

Byron LaMasters, a governm ent

tor for University Democrats, said his 
organization consistently volunteers 
for the state Democratic candidates' 
campaigns they endorse. LaMasters 
said the University Democrats volun­
teer every other Wednesday and man 
phone banks, hang fliers and walk 
door to door informing voters about 
the candidates and the election.

He said the University Democrats 
members are going to continue to 
show support for state and local can­
didates through November, starting 
with educating voters, registering stu­
dents to vote and getting them to turn 
out for the election.

believe in what they are working for."

Israel ends Arafat confinement

U.S. regains U.N.
commission seat

By The Associated Press

U N ITED N A TIO N S — The 
United States regained its seat on the 
U.N. Human Rights Com m ission on 
Monday, a year after losing it for the 
first time since the com m ission was 
established in 1947.

The vote last M ay to drop the 
United States from the top U.N. 
human rights body was a humiliat­
ing defeat that caused an outcry in 
W ashington, w orsened U .S.-U .N . 
relations and led to intensive behind- 
the-scenes lobbying by the Bush 
administration to get back on the 
panel.

In March, Italy and Spain pulled 
out of the running for seats on the 
commission, clearing the way for the 
United States to announce its candi­
dacy for a seat.

the 

The U.S. return to the com m ission 
w as then virtually assured, and on 
54-m em ber U.N . 
M onday 
Econom ic 
Social Council 
approved an uncontested slate of 
candidates from W estern nations 
that included the United States.

and 

"W e are very pleased that we are 
back on the Com m ission on Human 
Rights," U.S. Am bassador Sichan Siv 
said immediately after the results 
were announced.

"H um an rights is a cornerstone of 
U.S. foreign policy. We have spoken, 
and we continue to speak on the 
issue, whether w e are on the com ­
mission or not," he said.

At 

the recent H um an Rights 
Com m ission meeting in Geneva, the 
United States w as an observer.

On April 22, the com m ission voted 
20-1.9 against censuring Iran for exe­
cutions and torture, discrimination

against minorities and stifling press 
freedom.

As a full member again, Siv said 
the United States will be able to intro­
duce resolutions, something which is 
was unable to do as an observer.

In the search for blame follow ing 
last y ear's vote, fingers were pointed 
at a variety of sources: a plethora of 
eligible European candidates, U S 
withdraw al from the Kyoto climaft 
change treaty, U.S. plans to build a 
national m issile defense system, and 
U.S. refusal to ratify the treaty creat 
ing an international criminal court.

The H um an Rights Com m ission 
m akes stud ies and recom m enda 
tions for the protection and p rom o­
tion of hum an rights, either on its 
ow n initiative or at the request o f the 
General Assem bly or the Seen ri tv 
Council.

U nder U.N. rules, regional groups 
decide w ho fills seats on U.N. bodies 
The United States is one of 29 coun 
tries 
in the West European and 
Others Group, known as WECX i.

Last year, W EOG had four candi 
dates for three seats on the com m is­
sion. In a secret ballot by the 54 
nations on the U.N. Economic and 
Social C ouncil, the com m ission 's 
parent body, France, Austria and 
Sw eden w on seats and the U nited 
States suffered a stunning loss.

another election.

IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY

By The Associated Press

RAM ALLAH, West Bank — Israel 
said M onday that a breakthrough 
agreem ent had set Yasser Arafat free 
after five months in confinem ent in his 
com pound, but the Palestinian leader 
stayed put for fear Israeli forces would 
storm the building and seize militants 
inside.

Still, if the agreem ent sticks, one of 
three tense confrontations should be 
resolved in the com ing days.

Israel is effectively keeping a Ú.N. 
fact-finding team from arriving, saying 
it fears an anti-Israel bias that will pro­
duce a highly critical report on Israel's 
m ilitan' operation in the Jenin refugee 
camp in the West Bank. Palestinians 
called on the United Nations to send 
the team immediately, claim ing Israel 
is trying to cover up the killings of 
large numbers of civilians, something 
Israel strongly denies.

Israeli officials said eight days of 
heavy fighting occurred in the camp to 
root out m ilitants, estim ating that 
about 50 Palestinians were killed, most 
of them hard-core fighters.

At the Church of the Nativity in 
Bethlehem, an Israeli sniper killed a 
P alestin ian m ilitiam an w hen he 
w alked into a courtyard of the com ­
pound, the arm y said. Talks there were 
deadlocked M onday on the crisis at 
the church, w here m ore than 200 
Palestinians are holed up inside, many 
of them armed.

Late Monday, Palestinian negotiator 
Imad Natshe said the tw o sides would 
meet again on Tuesday, and Secretary 
o f State Colin Pow ell 
in 
W ashington that he expects the stand­
off to end soon.

said 

"I think there is a solution," Powell 
said, providing no details. U.S. and 
Israeli officials said privately it proba­
bly would be based on Israel's propos­
al to offer the terror suspects holed up 
in the Church of the Nativity a choice 
of exile or trial in Israel. "I think it will 
be resolved in the near future," Powell 
said.

And in the latest Israeli military 
incursion, tanks and troops poured 
into Hebron in search of militants, 
leaving nine Palestinians dead in the 
West Bank town of Hebron.

In Ramallah, the crisis at Arafat's 
headquarters appeared near conclu­
sion, but final details were still being 
worked out. Israeli tanks and armored 
personnel carriers remained parked 
inside A rafat's compound and sealed 
off city streets for several blocks in 
every direction.

Israel and the Palestinians both 
agreed Sunday to a U.S. proposal that 
restores A rafat's freedom of m ove­
ment, and in exchange, six wanted 
m en inside the com pound will be 
im prisoned 
jail, 
watched over by U.S. and British offi­
cials.

Under the plan, the six would be 
transferred to the West Bank town of 
Jericho, said Palestinian Inform ation 
M inister Yasser Abed Rabbo. The m in­
ister said M onday the six would be 
moved within 48 hours.

A m akeshift Palestinian court has 
convicted four of the men of killing 
Israeli C abinet M inister Rehavam 
Zeevi last October. The fifth m an is the 
leader o f the political faction that 
claimed responsibility for the killing 
and the sixth is an Arafat aide suspect­
ed of orchestrating a large arms sm ug­
gling operation.

Israel and the U.S. State D epartm ent 
both said Arafat was now free to go 
where he likes, including trips outside 
the Palestinian territory.

said 

"Today, A rafat can go w here he 
ch o o ses," 
Israeli D efen se 
M inister Binyam in Ben-Eliezer. State 
D ep artm en t 
spokesm an Richard 
Boucher issued a sim ilar statem ent: 
"H e's free to go when and w herever 
he w ants to go."

The Palestinians, how ever, said 
Arafat w as not actually free and that if 
he tried to leave before the prisoners 
were transferred, Israel would seize 
the six m en from the building.

Opinion

United States must end Cuban embargo

By Haley Stevens
Daily Texan Guest Columnist

Since the end of the Cold War, the 
United States has been running around 
like a chicken with its head freshly cut 
off. Why? The Soviet Union fell and 
from the moment we usurped a hege­
monic title, it's been a bloody free for all.
Looking to former Soviet ally and our 
neighborhood "fo e," the Republic of 
Cuba provides a great example of U.S. 
hypersensitivity and international bul­
lying. U.S.-Cuba relations are and have 
been for the last century a sticky, com ­
plicated, emotional mess. Whether you 
chose to remain bitter about the U.S.- 
instigated Cuban Revolution from 40 
years ago or are a human rights activist, 
one pertinent and nagging injustice 
dangles above all our heads. A U.S.- 
imposed blockade on Cuba prevents 
this country from obtaining and trading 
with other countries for goods such as 
medication, medical supplies, food and 
(the worst of them all) name brand 
clothing.

And wait! Before you conservatives 
pick up the pen to start rattling off some 
traditional rebuttal, I didn't make this 
up. Go to our Library of Congress, check 
out the 2000 Congressional Research 
Issue Brief on Cuba and it will outline 
things pretty clearly.

"The United States is devoted to the 
democratization of Cuba." We promote 
the ideas of democratization through 
"p ressu re" and blatant deprivation. 
Yeah democracy! We do this with Cuba 
because we can. But with other commu-

Good ol’ Bush claims that he is going to 
take aU the necessary measures in 
tightening the restrictions against the 
harmless island.

nist countries, like China, it doesn't 
make economic sense to wait for pseu­
do-democratization for trade sanctions 
to be established. U nfortunately for 
Cuba, with a population of about 11 mil­
lion, they are no China.

in 

the 

tightening 

The many specious domestic reasons 
surrounding the blockade keep it in 
existence. Good oT Bush claims that he 
is going to take all the necessary meas­
ures 
restrictions 
against the harmless island. Keeping 
Cuba on the list of terrorist states seems 
logical to the old-fashioned, but recent 
CIA docum ents have reported 
that 
Cuba poses no immediate threat to the 
United States and that they do not seek 
to engage in military activity except in 
their own defense.

Perhaps Bush's skeptical win of the 
Florida vote by a mere 500 plus votes 
has a little bit to do with his inhumane 
decision. Cuban Americans have the 
power to determine presidential elec­
tions, and therefore American policy 
towards Cuba. No public official elected 
by their votes can afford any dramatic

action towards Cuba. It's a thin line, but 
domestic politics shape foreign policy, 
for better or worse.

Also, let's take into consideration the 
changing world we are now living in. 
Sept. 11 prompted a catalyst for a new 
world, resulting in the gradual shift 
from U.S hegemony to multipolarity. 
Regardless of the Bush administration's 
resistance to such humbling changes, 
whether they like it or not, their policies 
of unilateralism cannot continue. The 
age of acting in our own best greedy 
self-interest is over. And now it's just a 
matter of time before the United States 
will have to deflate itself back to reality, 
a more worldly reality.

In 

I mentioned bullying. 

1996 
Congress passed the "Cuban Liberty 
and Democracy A ct," also known as the 
Helms /Burton law, which codified and 
tightened the embargo by not allowing 
any U.S.-patented goods to be sold to 
the country. As noted by Joy Gordon 
from the Atlantic Monthly, "A Swedish 
corporation has been prohibited from 
selling a sophisticated piece of medical

equipment to Cuba because it contains a 
single filter patented under U.S. law."

Is this progressing Cuba tow ards 
democracy? No. Are we abusing our 
international weight? Yes. We are push­
ing around a helpless and harmless 
country. And interestingly, who pushed 
first? We did, by frothing tourism all 
over their country and failing to recog­
nize them as a separate state with a dis­
tinct culture. Pre-Castro, we indirectly 
but im perialistically controlled their 
government by supporting the corrupt 
and nepotistic Batista regime.

Talk about hegemonic stability, but 
what about hegemonic responsibility? 
Just because w e are a country with a 
grudge and the power to negatively 
affect Cuba by flaunting our weight 
around does not make it right. It's time 
our policy, that few deem just or see as 
progressing Cuba towards democratiza­
tion, be changed.

The world is shifting and our hege­
monic power is waning. Those politi­
cians so concerned with losing the 
Cuban-American vote should look at 
how their domestic politics affects our 
worldly image. Perhaps the real prob­
lem for these politicians will be when 
Cuba 
isn 't vying to trade w ith the 
United States anymore, but our farmers 
and businessmen still are.

THE FIRING LINE

Living in the NWO

Thank you for printing Colin Girgenti's 
article (A war machine that just won't 
quit, April 29).

I esp ecially like the line "H ow can 
you have a w ar on te rro rism ?" I 
agree end have been asking the sam e 
about this War on D rugs. A fter all, a 
b u llet can kill a terrorist, but can it 
kill terrorism ? A bu llet can kill a drug 
ad d ict but can it kill drug add iction? 
D oes violence ever end? These are 
im portan t qu estions that m ost people 
choose to avoid becau se of the d iffi­
cult and com plex natu re involved in 
confron tin g them. H u n d red s of thou ­
san d s of A m ericans, along with m il­
lions of other hum an beings died as a 
re su lt of fig h tin g 
in the War on 
C om m u n ism so th at we could all 
enjoy living in the G lobal V illage of 
the New World O rder. Did we kill 
com m unism ? And if not, then who or 
w hat did we kill?

My hours cost more

I just have one question for the person 
who wrote the letter UT hates poor people 
(April 29): W hat university do you 
attend? I guess not UT-Austin if you did 
not pay more than $2,500 for 14 hours. 
Last semester, I took only 12 hours, and 
it cost me $2,908, after all fees, to be 
exact. Next semester I |>lan to take 14 
hours, and this tuition flat rate is saving 
me a considerable amount of money. 
The flat rate is $2,507 and it includes all 
fees, except a few insignificant ones 
that do not apply to most students. You 
obviously either did not take the 14-

hour semester any time recently, or you 
do not pay attention to how much you 
pay in fees.' Furthermore, the flat rate is 
very useful for those in the College of 
Natural Sciences, who have to take at 
least 14 hours a semester to graduate in 
four years. Pay attention to your tuition 
summary this semester, because then 
you will probably stop complaining.

A proposal

I would like to address the Monday 
Viewpoint, Sharing the Top-Tier. UT-San 
Antonio's President Ricardo Romo was 
recently commended for his efforts at 
improving curriculum and funding for 
the current student body, and it was 
concluded 
that this w ould help to 
reduce the number of applicants trying 
to get into UT-Austin — if so, then how 
does this affect the students that are cur­
rently enrolled here at the University?

Well, this helps out current UT stu­
dents in the sense that UTSA's success 
in improving its curriculum will lead to 
a tune up of UT's present curriculum. 
For example, the interest for a class 
offered at UTSA will be doubled if the 
same class were offered here at the 
University since more than 40 percent of 
UTSA 's current students w ere once 
prospective UT students. Therefore, if 
current UT students demand the adop­
tion of a class to improve the present 
curriculum, then this demand needs to 
be w elcom ed by our administrators. 
Just recently, the demands of over 2,200 
faculty and students for the adoption of 
an African language dredit class within 
the 2003-2004 long session w as met with 
lengthy excuses. Hint, hint — I think

this would be a great time for UT-Austin 
to elevate its top-tier status, considering 
that our System school at San Antonio 
has shown its true commitment to high­
er education.

A call for security

After seeing the headline on CNN 
about the murder of 17 people by an 
outraged student, I got that gut-wrench­
ing feeling. What in the world are these 
idiots thinking? Acts such as this have 
occurred way too often in our society in 
the past five years. Do you think it 
would be too extreme to install security 
systems at schools like they have at air­
ports?

Sounds like a stretch, but parents 
send their kids to school to learn, not to 
get killed. There has to be a way to set­
tle this or better, prevent this from hap­
pening. It has now become a worldwide 
problem and w ho knows where the next 
incident will take place? If this keeps 
happening, freedoms could be threat­
ened. And, perhaps even worse, cases of 
truancy could occur. Our world just 
can't handle the grief that accompanies 
11, 
this. After 
acts 
A fghanistan, Israel, Palestine, school 
shootings and the loss of many other 
amazing lives, our world needs a break 
and time to recover to its fullest. Too 
bad that will never happen.

Do something

It seems to me the University has 
come across another "problem to solve,"

this time it's getting us screwy kids out 
of here in four years — like we are sup­
posed to. Well, the University has found 
the solution, and that is to "encourage" 
us to take more hours via flat rate 
tuition. I have a better solution. Ask us, 
the students, why we don't get out of 
here in four years. Is it because we like it 
here at the University? Or love Austin 
and the hippies? Or is it that the market 
sucks and we w ant to stay here where, 
for some of us, our parents pay our way 
through, so why not hang out a few 
years more? It could be any number of 
things or a combination of them. The 
University assumes it knows the rea­
sons based on their stats or analysis or 
whatever the money tells them to do. 
Furtherm ore, The U niversity keeps 
springing these things on us at incon­
venient times — inconvenient for us, 
just right for them. This seems familiar. 
Except for finals, school is out in a week. 
Perfect time to spring this idea on the 
students right before they leave, or bet­
ter yet, when they're gone — remember 
the fee increase?

Where was our voice then? Probably 
skiing in Aspen. D on 't we all have 
something to say about the way the 
University is? O r about the way it's run? 
I thought Student Government w as sup­
posed to be that voice for us. W here are 
they? I disagree with flat-rate tuition, 
and some other things. D on't get me 
wrong, 
the 
University to love. Let's do something 
for once, nobody else is going to fix 
things, and we seem content just com­
plaining. I'm not, not anymore.

 Branham named School of Journalism director

By Raquel C. Garza
Daily Texan S taff

Veteran journalist Lorraine Branham will be the new 
director of the School of Journalism , D ean Ellen 
Wartella announced Monday.

Branham , assistant to the publisher of the Pittsburgh 
Post-Gazette, will assum e the post at the end of the 
summer.

"Lorraine Branham is a strong n ew spaper p rofes­
sional and her appointm ent reflects our desire to 
strengthen our ties with the professional journalism 
com m unity," Wartella said in a statem ent.

Branham has w orked at several n ew spapers in clud­
ing the Tallahassee Democrat, the Philadelphia Inquirer 
and the Baltimore Sun.

She has also taught writing and reporting at Temple 
University in Philadelphia, and served as a p rofes­
sional in residence.

"It w as an honor to bye selected. I know they had 
several really terrific can didates," Branham said. "I 
am looking forw ard to w orking with the faculty and 
the dean to take the journalism school to the next 
level." 

•

Am ong her goals for the school are to strengthen the 
ties between the school and the industry by add ress­
ing such issu e s as diversity, lead ersh ip roles for 
women and the digital convergence of the workplace.
Branham also said she is looking fow ard to working 

with young journalists.

"It's alw ays a lot of fun working with people new to 
the bu siness," Branham said. "I w ant to help be a 
resource about how to grow, develop and be prom ot­
ed in the industry."

The -School of Journalism has been searching for a 
new director since Stephen R eese announced he 
w ould step dow n from the post in spring 2000.

Though Reese intended to step dow n in the sum m er

of 2001, he remained as director until the search w as 
com pleted. Reese will return to the faculty in the 
spring of 2Ü03.

"T h is is the kind of job that deserves to have new 
people from time to time. A fter six-and-a-half y ears, 
it's time for a change," Reese said. "I am happy to turn 
over the school into such goo d hands."

R eese has been the jo u rn alism chairm an sin ce 
Jan uary 1996, when the school w as known as the 
Departm ent of Journalism . The department becam e 
the School of Journalism in Jan uary 2001, and the title 
of the head of the school also changed to "director."

The 11-member search com m ittee — com posed of 
studen ts, faculty and m em bers of the jo u rn alism 
industry — conducted two searches to fill the p osition .
The first search began in the fall of 2000 and en d ed 
in sp rin g 2001 without result. The second search w as 
conducted the follow ing year.

THINGS ARE HEATING UP

Resolution seeks to change 
UT student privacy policy

* 

By Vlckl Lame
Daily Texan S taff

The G raduate Student A ssem bly p assed a reso lu ­
the 

to change 

tion M on day 
U n iversity's student privacy policy.

in an attem p t 

The 

reso lu tio n concern in g 

stu d en t p riv acy 
options w ould allow students to protect person al 
inform ation in one of three w ays: Students could 
perm it inform ation to be m ade available either to all 
interested 
in d iv id u als, all those internal to the 
U niversity or only to faculty and staff within the 
University.

The current policy requires a student to notify the 
registrar if they w ant to protect their personal infor­
m ation.

However, this not only m akes studen ts' inform a­
tion unavailable to those ou tside the .University but 
also to p rofesso rs and studen ts within their classes, 
said Don D rum tra, executive com m ittee m em ber for 
G SA and library and inform ation sciences grad u ate 
studen t

"W hat h app en s once you do that is you becom e 
in v isib le to the o u tsid e w orld as a stu d e n t," 
D rum tra said. "You don't ap p ear in the phone direc­
tory, and you don't appear on any kind of list a v a il­
able to the ou tside world. You also becom e invisible 
to the U niversity except for official p u rp o ses."

Rem oving their nam es from the directory can 
leave studen ts at a d isad v an tage if they are enrolled 
in a class u sin g co m p u ter p ro g ra m s, such as 
B lackb oard, 
tools, 
D rum tra said.

com m u nication 

g ro u p 

as 

"T h ose studen ts who do not w ant their in form a­

tion given out rem ain anonym ous to the rest of the 
students in the class, and they cannot get e-m ail 
from other stu den ts or the professor for the class," 
he said.

Drumtra said there is a need for stu d en ts to have 
options so that their privacy may be protected, but 
that w ould still allow professors and classm ates 
access to the inform ation.

"Som e studen ts have been h arassed based on 
som eone finding their name in the directory," he 
said. "A s a result they really .like this provision 
where they can disappear. However, com plaints 
come in because studen ts want to p articipate in 
class."

Hannah Som m ers, a library and inform ation sci­
ences graduate student, said the resolution h as been 
needed for a while.

"There does need to be more flexibility," Som m ers 
said. "P rivacy is critical to students, and we all 
deserve to have sufficient control over our ow n per­
sonal inform ation."

Ginger G ossm an, a sociology grad u ate stüdent, 
said students do not need their inform ation given to 
those who m ight abu se it.

"It is a good id e a," G ossm an said. "So m e students 
come in and don't w ant their inform ation given out. 
You don't want to be bom barded by random e-m ail, 
but then you realize that you are also being cut off 
from professors. It m akes it difficult for the com m u­
nication flow to be steady."

The GSA will take the issue to the vario u s official 
levels of the University, Drum tra said, so that an 
official policy change m ay be im plem ented.

Alumnus death ruled accidental

By Chrissy Ragan
Daily Texan Staff

Officials have ruled the drowning 
death of 24-year-old UT alumnus 
Kevin Graney accidental, said Austin 
Police Department spokesw om an 
Laura Albrecht.

Graney died early Saturday morn­
ing after jumping off the Congress 
Avenue bridge into Town Lake, 
A ustin Fire Departm ent officials 
said.

Graney, who resided in Dallas, was 
in town for Alpha Tau Om ega's annu­
al Alumni Weekend. The fraternity 
was celebrating the 10-year anniver­
sary of its re-chartering.

ATO President Ben Ross, an 
accounting junior, said some of the 
alumni got together downtown on 
Sixth Street Friday.

Graney and a friend were walking 
across the 40-foot-high bridge head­
ing back to the Hyatt Regency Austin 
Hotel just before 3 a.m., when the 
friend said he heard heard a noise and 
turned around just in time to see 
Graney falling over the railing, said 
David Belknap, AFD spokesman.

"He just jumped off," Belknap said.
Efforts to revive Graney were 
unsuccessful, and he was pronounced 
dead at 3:55 a.m. at Brackenridge 
Hospital.

A friend who wished to remain 
anonymous said details surrounding 
Graney7 s reasoning when he jumped 
off the bridge remain unknown.

"We don't know if he fell and was 
looking over, or if he jumped and 
thought it w ould be fun," she said. 
"But apparently, it's not supposed to 
be a deadly thing."

There have been recoveries of peo­
ple jumping off the Congress Avenue 
bridge in the past, Belknap said.

Belknap said the two friends had 
been drinking since Friday afternoon.
Nad Elias, the ATO adviser and a 
close friend of Graney, said he got 
word of the incident Saturday mom- 
ing at a golf tournament.

"I got the call and let the other guys 
know, and no one w as in the mood to 
golf," Elias said. A barbecue w as 
scheduled that night at the fraternity 
house and Elias considered canceling 
the event.

"It was m y call, and I said to just 
have a moment of silence," Elias said. 
"I wanted to go be with all my friends 
and not have to think about it for a 
night ... All of u s being together and 
remembering w ould be what he 
would have w anted."

Ross said even though many of the 
current ATO members did not person­
ally know Graney, they still were 
affected.

"The m ood definitely changed," 
Ross said. "It w as a very different 
weekend."

Described by friends as friendly 
and easy-going, Graney grew up as 
the middle brother in a close family 
with five boys in Spring, Texas.

"His fam ily w as everything to

h i m ," sa id Sonia G ran e y , h is s t e p ­
m o th e r . "H e w o u ld 'v e d o n e a n y t h in g 
f o r h is frien ds or his b r o t h e r s ."

Graney played four years of basket­
ball at Klein High School and then led 
ATO's intramural basketball team to 
tw o championships, Elias said.

"H e was one of those guys that was 

alw ays active at all spot ting events,
Elias said.

Fatality Review Team reports child death causes

Source: Cranbrook In s titu te o f S cience

By Katherine Pace
Daily Texan S ta ff

Automobile accidents, parental negligence and acci­
dental asphyxiation w ere responsible for the m ost 
deaths among Travis County children under 18 last year, 
according to a report released Monday.

The Travis C ounty Child Fatality Review Team 
announced its sixth annual report at the Children's 
Advocacy C enter — a 
local nonprofit organization 
devoted to the fight against child abuse. Representatives 
from the center, local law enforcem ent agencies and 
Child Protective Services com prise the CFRT.

Travis County Judge Sam Biscoe said the CFRT meets 
on a bim onthly basis to review every child fatality 
reported in Travis County in hopes of determ ining caus­
es of death and preventing future fatalities.

"Children are dying unnecessarily in Austin and 
Travis County," Biscoe said. "W e know why, and we 
know what needs to be done. O u r goal here today, as a 
community, is to take this information and use it to pre­
vent child deaths."

Susan Thomson, A ustin regional director for the Texas 
Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, said 
Travis County CFRT is one of 37 team s covering 140 
counties throughout Texas.

"T h e CFRT annual report is one of the key tools we 
use to understand the risks to children in our com m uni­
ty," Thom son said. "A ccording to the Child Welfare 
League of America, Texas does a better job than any state 
in the nation in identifying child deaths due to abuse 
and neglect and evaluating the causes of child deaths to 
try to figure out what happened."

Thom son ad d ed th a t C FR T m e m b ers ca n n o t pre-

agers.

Stanley Knee, APD chief, said the department will 

w ork to reduce motor v eh icle fatalities.

"W e'll continue our effo rts to educate young people to 
stay away from alcohol an d also continue our enforce­
m ent of the seat belt law s," K n ee said.

O f the six deaths that w e re the fault of the parents, 
three were caused by accid en tal suffocation when a par­
e n t or guardian rolled o n to a child. According to 
Thom son, substance a b u se often contributes to these 
"o v erlay " deaths.

Knee said all six o f th ese cases occurred in Hispanic 

families.

"W e will continue o u r ou treach program with the 
Fiispanic community, getting them involved in parenting 
opportunities and also g ettin g them involved in the 
reporting process when th ey k n ow of a child who may be 
abused," Knee said.

M ayor Gus Garcia focused on the potentially positive 

effects of the report's findings.

Single-member 
districts debated

By Esther Wang
Daily Texan S ta ff

As the May 4 city election draws closer, Austinites opinons are 
mixed over whether a proposition introducing a single-member dis­
trict voting system is a good idea for the city.

Proposition 3 would divide the city into eight districts that would 
each elect its own council member. Two council seats and the mayor 
would still be elected by the entire city.

This is the sixth time in the last 30 years single-member districts 
have been submitted for public referendum. In 1994, Austin resi­
dents narrowly voted down the election reform plan.

Supporters said it could increase geographical representation of 
the city on the council — a concern given the city's huge growth over 
the past decade. Typically, most council members come from central 
Austin, but recent growth and expansion has been to the north.

"It would be a waste of money to spend campaign money on TV, 
because you don't have to reach the whole city," said Bobbie Barker, 
chairwoman of the Charter Revision Commission, which recom­
mended the amendment to the council. "W hat better way to know 
w ho your constituents are? You just have to knock on doors."

But opponents said council members from districts may focus sole­

ly on the interest of those they represent, instead of the entire city.

When council members dropped their idea to have the proposed 
district map completed before the election in May, some Austin resi­
dents said they became more wary of voting for the changes.

"They've kind of stubbed their toe by not having those m aps 
ready, so people are a little hesitant to vote for a district if they don't 
know what their district is," said Linda Moore, North Austin Civic 
Association president.

Voters in other parts of the city are apathetic.
"It's not a real hot issue," Moore said. "I don't think it's going to 
pass, and I say that regretfully. I wish it would. It's an idea whose 
time has com e."

Men’s golf in second behind Oklahoma at Big 12 tourney

By Adam Zuvanlch
Daily Texan Staff

John Klauk had played nine consecu­
tive under-par rounds in his last three 
tournaments, and fellow Texas golfer J.J. 
Wall had a streak of six straight sub-par 
rounds of his own heading into the first 
day of the Big 12 championship.

But after 18 holes at the challenging,

H utchinson, Kan., Klauk and W all's

fifth-ranked Longhorns, another streak 
is still alive — barely.

After M onday's two rounds of play, 
Texas trails only Oklahoma, bu t the 
Horns three-toumament w inning streak

may be in jeopardy, as the 17th-ranked 
Sooners hold a commanding 10-stroke 
lead heading into Tuesday's final 18 
holes.

"We d id n 't do our best today, b u t w e 
fo o t, 
didn't sh o o t ourselves in the 
either," Texas head coach John F ield s 
said. "[K lauk] didn't play as well as he 
has, but it w as a good team effort o v e r­
all."

Oklahoma surged to the top o f the 
leaderboard w ith a second-round team 
score of 6-under-par, as three of O U 's 
five golfers fired rounds in the 60s.

John K idw ell led OU with a record - 
setting 64 in the opening round, and fel­
low Sooner Cody Freeman recorded a 
second-round 66 to cap his team 's p e r­

formance Monday afternoon. Kidwell 
leads all individuals at 7-under after 36 
holes, while Freeman is in second place 
at 5-under-par.

"They had a great day," Fields said of 
the Sooners. "This is close to, if not the 
best golf they've played all year."

The Horns lead third-place Oklahoma 
State by seven shots, as three Texas 
golfers are bidding for top-10 finishes.

Sophomore Jason Hartwick, who has 
played

"H artw ick had an outstanding second

round," Fields said. "If we have a chance 
to win [Tuesday], he helped us have that 
chance."

Hartwick, the w inner of the Red River 
Classic last October, fired the low score 
of the second round and is in third place 
individually at 3-under-par.

Wall didn't break par Monday for the 
first time in three tournaments, but he 
didn't do much w orse, shooting an 
even-par 70 before dropping two strokes 
in the second round. Wall, who has two 
consecutive top-10 outings, is tied for 
seventh place at 2-over.

Fellow junior Russell Surber is also at 
2-over-par after posting two rounds of 
71. Surber, who tied for seventh at the 
1999 Big 12 championship, is having his

best tournament of the year.

Klauk, w ho had three straight top- 
three finishes coming into this w eek's 
tourney, cam e back down to Earth with 
a 72 and a 75 Monday. He is tied for 19th 
place at 7-over-par.

Rusty Kennedy is tied for 33rd place 
at 10-over, following an opening-round 
76 with a 74.

Play concludes Tuesday with the final 
round, and despite a 10-stroke deficit, 
Fields said his team 's winning streak 
could continue.

"I think so," he said when asked if his 
team still had a shot at the Big 12 crown. 
"This course is super difficult, so there's 
no question that things could change 
dramatically."

Ohio State 
LB Cooper 
suspended 
after arrest

By The Associated Press

C OLUM BUS, Ohio — Linebacker 
Marco Cooper was suspended from the 
Ohio State football team for the 2002 
season and barred 
from cam pus 
M onday after he was arrested on 
felony charges of drug abuse and car­
rying a concealed weapon.

The junior from Detroit is accused of 
having a 9 mm handgun, ammunition 
and Ecstasy pills hidden in his sport 
utility vehicle. He was pulled over for a 
traffic violation on Saturday night after 
Ohio State's spring game.

"W hile I still have not been able to 
talk to Marco, based upon the informa­
tion I do have, he will not be a member 
of the Ohio State football team in 2002," 
coach Jim Tressel said. "The outcome of 
the legal process will determine if the 
suspension goes beyond that period of 
time."

Cooper was also suspended by the 
university's office of student affairs. He 
has three days to appeal that ruling, 
which prevents him from attending 
classes or even being on campus with­
out permission from university author­
ities.

Earlier' Monday, Cooper was 
released on $5,500 bond after spending 
two nights in the Franklin County Jail.

A preliminary hearing was set for 

May 7.

Cooper, 19, was pulled over for run­
ning a red light on Saturday night, just 
hours after the Buckeyes played their 
annual spring scrim m age at Ohio 
Stadium. The 6-foot, 225-pound junior 
— in the running for a starting spot this 
fall — was the fourth-leading tackier in 
the gam e with three solo and two 
assisted tackles.

A handgun and a plastic bag contain­
ing 12 white pills, which officers later 
determined was Ecstasy, were hidden 
in the center console of C ooper's sport 
utility vehicle, police said.

to 

According 

the arrest 

report, 
Cooper was driving without a license 
and gave officers permission to retrieve 
a temporary perm it from his glove 
compartment.

If Cooper appeals being barred from 
campus, Ohio State's student affairs 
office will determine if he should be 
allowed back.

"O ne of the things we will have to 
determine is whether he is a continuing 
threat to other members of the univer­
sity community," said Bill Hall, the 
school's vice president of student 
affairs. "G iven the fact that there's a 
it's going to be

looked at very seriously. That takes it to 
an entirely different level."

son.

Now, after 47 games, the identities that 
needed to be d iscovered have been, 
including that of the all-im portant closing 
pitcher.

Starting pitching can only take a team 
so far. But if there is not som eone to finish 
gam es in pressure situations, great start­
ing pitching can often be wasted, some­
thing Texas head coach Augie Garrido has 
been well aware of this season.

"W hat you need to have in a short 
reliever coming out of the bullpen is 
som eone with the m entality of a gunfight- 
er," Garrido said early this season.

Rising from the fray of a talented pitch­
ing staff that leads the nation in earned 
run average to lay claim as the top closer 
has been a pitcher w ith a fam iliar name — 
Street.

Freshm an Huston Street, the son of 
Texas legend James Street, has emerged as 
the dominant "gun figh ter" Garrido had 
hoped would surface for his team.

The Austin n ative h as amassed an 
im pressive stat line in his first season after 
not knowing how m uch he'd play with 
m any other talented freshm en also arriv­
ing this season.

"C om ing to Texas, you're facing the 
best competition just from within your 
team ," Street said. "So in order to play, 
you have to beat out the best. Everybody 
com es to a university w anting to play and 
expecting to play, but you 're never really 
sure."

Street has gotten the opportunity to 
play, leading Texas w ith five saves and 
striking out 34 batters in just over 27 
innings of work. But perhaps what is most 
im pressive is his ERA, currently at 0.98.

Street's father was not only a pitcher at 
Texas, but also a quarterback for some of 
D arrell Royal's best football teams. As a 
pitcher, 
the elder S treet earned All- 
Southw est Conference and All-American 
honors, tossing two no-hitters.

But James Street is better remembered 
as an All-Southwest Conference quarter­
back who led the Longhorns to the 1969 
national championship.

N aturally, when the tim e came for 
H uston to choose a college to attend, there 
w as never any doubt in his mind about 
his choice. He asserts there was never any 
pressure on him to com e to Texas.

Freshm an Huston Street, right, is a pitcher for the Texas baseball team, just as his father, James, was as a letterman from 1968-1970. 
Ja m es also led the Longhorn football team to a national championship in 1969 as UT’s starting quarterback.

Yen-Yl LIu/Daily Texan Staff

“I m ade my mind up a lo n g time ago 
that this is where I w an ted to be and 
w here I always wanted to p iay j n col­
leg e," said Huston, w ho also has been 
successful as a football player, lettering at 
W estlake High School as b o th a free safe­
ty and a quarterback. G ro w in g up and 
being around it a lot put th e taste in my 
m outh. It's just the baseball — the win­
n in g tradition, the co a c h in g , 
just the
w hole atmosphere."

W ith both father and so n h av in g starred 
at the same university, com p arison s are 
constantly drawn betw een th e two, but 
those comparisons don't seem to bother 
the son.

A t this point, I don t th in k anybody 
has pu t any extra pressure on me to be 
like h im ," Street said. "H e w as a great 
p layer here, and to be m ention ed with 
him in the same sentence is a compliment. 
I'd love to be like him, an d I'd 
to be 
better than him."

There are many parallels betw een the 
father and son, but Jam es adm its that 
things are much different for his son as a

pitcher in today's state of collegiate base­
ball.

"I was a starting pitcher, so it was a dif­
ferent kind of mindset when you went out 
there," Jam es Street said. "H uston has to 
get ready in 15 minutes and then come in 
with the bases loaded, and that's a totally 
different m indset than knowing you are 
going to be pitching two days before and 
just relaxing and getting yourself ready to 
play."

For H uston, that m indset has become 
one of the gunfighter Garrido has sought. 
Street rarely throws pitches outside the 
strike zone, instead choosing to throw his 
best pitches right at opposing hitters.

"W henever I go out there, my goal is to 
just put up zeros. That's a pretty good 
goal in my m ind," Street said. "The per­
centages are in my favor. If a guy is good, 
he is only going to get a hit a third of the 
time, so you might as well throw them 
something and see if they can hit it."

Much of the success Street has been 
experiencing as of late is due to an exper­
iment in changing the mechanics of his

delivery, w hich Texas pitching coach 
Frank Anderson has been working with.

"Frank did a good job of dropping his 
arm angle dow n," Garrido said. "H e's got 
more m ovem ent on his fastball."

The change has also been well received 
by Street, who sees it as a m eans to 
improve his game.

"It has made pitching seem so much 
easier to m e," Street said. "It has turned 
my season around, and it allows me so 
many more options on the mound, as far 
as location. It allows me to attack people 
and go after them more."

Last w eekend's sweep of O klahom a 
State has left No. 7 Texas (37-11, 15-6 Big 
12) sitting pretty atop the conference 
standings.

And with the team in the mix of a con­
ference race, Garrido has the luxury of 
sending out a closer with the mentality to 
face nearly any situation and com e out on 
top.

"It's just fun," Street said. "It's how you 
want it to be — you want every game to 
be a pressure situation."

Daily Texan 
Man of the Century

Editor's Note: The following is a Daily Texan 

-30 column. Each year, graduating staff 

members get an unedited opportunity to 

reflect and speak their minds. During the 

typewriter days of the newspaper industry, 

“-30" denoted the end of a story.

In four years of college, I w ent to classes 
(sometimes), bars (often} and sporting events 
(always).

And ¿hat's the way it was. Along the way, I 
learned a lot, met some great people and 
crammed as much fun as I could have into my 
time as a Longhorn.

Like points on a map, athletic events have 
served as a common thread for what was 
going on in my life in the past few years. 
W hile som e people use music as a way to

remember, I rely on sports.

town for four more years.

I'm not really sure why I am this way, but 
even after a good run as a jad ed , cynical 
sports writer, I still get excited o v er a great 
game.

With that in mind, allow me to take you all 
on a trip down memory lane. Stickin g with 
the them e of the "30" farewell colum ns that 
staffers at The Daily Texan have the privilege 
of writing, I have picked out the top 30 UT- 
related sport moments that I h ave seen in per­
son over the last few years.

To other sports fans graduating thus year, I 
hope som e of these events were m em orable to 
you, too.

30. M ack Brown's first press conference, 
D ecem ber 1997. Though technically i was in 
high school at the time, I was also an intern in 
the U T M edia Relations o ffice and had 
already been accepted to UT, so I think this 
one cou nts. Brown couldn't sto p talking 
about how Texas was the place to be, and how 
he left a perfect job for the chance to come to 
Austin. Somehow, Brown convinced m e I was 
doing the right thing by staying in m y home­

29. Ricky W illiam s' press conference, 
January 1998. Ricky stunned everyone by 
returning for his senior year, reinforcing my 
decision to stay home for four more years 
while also ensuring some great games for my 
freshman year.

28. Rick Barnes' first press conference, 
April 1998. Tom Penders was a loved coach 
by Austinites for many years, but there was 
something about Bames that seemed to fore­
shadow future success.

27. Ricky breaks the record against A&M, 
November 1998. Everyone else remembers 
"The Run." I remember being in the press box 
wearing a headset as A B C producers 
screamed in my ear for updated'stats for their 
broadcast. I missed out on getting to cheer for 
a legend, and at this point, I decided to leave 
the field o f media relations and embrace 
being a fan — for a while, at least.

26. Cotton Bowl, January 1999. Ricky final­
ly struck the Heisman pose as I cheered from 
the upper deck. This was also my first of four 
straight bow l games to attend.

25. N.C. State game, August 1999. Before 
my first football game as a Longhorn 
Hellraiser, I was convinced a win here would 
begin Texas' march to the national champi­
onship. Three blocked punts later, I had 
learned my first lesson about thinking with 
your heart and not your head.

24. Kansas State game, October 1 999.1 can 
still see the wedge opening and David Allen 
returning a punt for a touchdown. M ajor's 
performance in this game, dubbed "Apple 
Turnover" in the Texan, would later be central 
to a debate that dominated the next two foot­
ball seasons.

23. Texas beats Nebraska — again, 
N ovem ber 1999. After foblishly turning 
down a road trip to Lincoln the year before, I 
finally got to see the Huskers lose to the 
Horns in person.

22. The Bonfire game, November 1999. 
One week after the A&M bonfire collapse 
killed 12 Aggies, I sat in the stands at a 
somber Kyle Field and watched a school and 
its community get the thing it needed most — 
a win over Texas. This game also was the first-

ever start by a freshman quarterback named 
Simms.

21. N ebraska gets revenge, December 
1999. The only good thing to come from this 
Big 12 title game was Bevo leaving a pile in 
the Nebraska end zone in the fourth quarter. 
But what a scene that was.

20. Cotton Bowl, January 2000. Again, not 
exactly a fun game to remember, but the sight 
of Major being carried off the field with a 
knee injury signified the end of one era and 
the beginning of another.

19. Texas Relays Fish Fry, April 2000. 
There's nothing of historical significance here, 
but as a young track writer at the Texan, this 
event allowed me to experience media perks 
for the first time. The free beer and catfish at 
this event were enough to convince me to 
attend it again the next two years.

18. College World Series, June 2000. Every 
sports fan should make this pilgrimage to 
Omaha at least once in their life. A panoramic 
poster of Rosenblatt Stadium still hangs in my

RICHMOND, from 9

bedroom, Even though the Horns went two- 
and-out, Augie getting one of his Texas teams 
to the CVVS was huge.

17. NBA Draft, June 2000. Chris Mihm, an 
Austin product, was set to be a lottery pick, 
and it he was going to Minneapolis, so was I. 
Yet somehow, I'm pretty sure Mihm didn't 
have to drive there like I did. Still, taking the 
scenic route through Dyersville, Iowa, and 
playing ball on the real Field of Dreams made 
the trip unforgettable.

18. I ouisiana-Lafayette game, Septem ber
2000. My first game as a reporter covering 
Texas football ushered in the Major-Chris 
rotation, giving me plenty to write about for 
the next two years.

17. 63-14, O ctober 2000. I stayed at home 
tor the UCI A massacre in 1997, and 1 was 
going to scalp my ticket to this game, since it 
was cold, raining and I had a bad feeling 
going in. 1 think Quentin Griffin just scored 
again.

16. Colorado game, October 2000. Major
gets his 
job back, Roy and B.J. becom e 
starters, and I get free Coors Light in the press 
box after the game. By the way, Boulder is 
beautiful and is a great place to visit.

15. Texas Tech game, Novem ber 2000. 
Major loses his job — this time for good, 
apparently 
as his second knee injury side­
lines him for the rest of the year.

14. Sim m s scorches A&M , N ovem ber
2000. After Chris throws three third-quarter 
touchdowns, I spend the fourth quarter on 
the sidelines thinking I was watching a star 
being born. I his scene would be repeated, in 
.in opposite way, less than a year later.

13. Holiday Bowl, December 2001. Oregon 
beats Texas, but Texan beats Qualcomm. After 
the game, the friendly staff of the Holiday 
Bowl told me and four other Texan guys that 
we could stay as long as we liked in the press

box while trying to finish the keg of beer pro­
vided for the media. An hour later, we real­
ized everyone else was gone, and we were 
locked in an empty stadium. Somehow, we 
convinced security to let us go after they 
found us trying to scale a wall to escape.

12. Trip to Stillwater, February 2001. The 
Texas men's and women's basketball teams 
each win on the road against Oklahoma State, 
but this road trip was special to see how the 
campus remembered the 10 victims of a plane 
crash a few weeks earlier.

11. Storming the court, February 2001. The 
Texas basketball team blows out Iowa State 
and students rush the floor one week after a 
column appeared in the Texan suggesting 
they do so if Texas beat Oklahoma the follow­
ing day. That didn't happen, but the court- 
storming did, and I decided to stick with the 
column writing.

10. March M adness in New Orleans, 
March 2001. Temple upset Texas, prompting 
me to write my most infamous column. That 
was fun, but not as fun as the French Quarter.
9. Cole Pittman remembered, September
2001. Texas scores 44 points against North 
Carolina in the game dedicated to the memo­
ry of the former defensive lineman. Pittman, 
who wore No. 44, died tragically in a car 
crash on Feb. 26, 2001.

8. Oklahoma 14, Texas 3, October 2001. 
Standing on the sidelines, I figured Texas 
could still mount a scoring drive with two 
left. Then, O U 's Roy Williams 
minutes 
became Superman.

7. Oklahoma State game, October 2001. 
Cedric Benson tops 100 yards in his first start 
after not playing against the Sooners, and the 
what-ifs begin.

6. Thanksgiving weekend, November
2001. A conservative approach gets it done as 
Texas wins at Kyle Field. Then, Nebraska and 
Oklahoma both choke, and the Horns are 
suddenly playing for the Big 12 title.

5. Argument settled, December 2001.

four 
Simms blow s the Rose Bowl with 
turnovers, and Major almost rallies the troops 
in the Big 12 title game. An unbelievable end 
to a long-running saga.

Sim ms 

4. Chris 

"SportsC entury," 
December 2001. ESPN chose to profile Simms 
early in the season, but the show kept getting 
pushed back when no one from UT would 
appear on camera. The show finally airs after 
the Colorado Collapse, featuring a Texan 
reporter in a minor role.

3. Holiday Bowl, December 2001. Major 
delivers a storybook ending to his career, and 
I get to drive to San Diego for the second 
straight year. No complaints here, especially 
considering I got to spend New Year's Eve in 
Las Vegas on the way back.

2. Enron's last hurrah, February 2002. 
During the Enron scandal, the Texas baseball 
team played in the last game at the ballpark 
before it was renamed Astros Field. More 
importantly, the Hyatt served as media, as 
well as party, headquarters.

1. March M adness, W isconsin-style, 
March 2002. Upon returning from Spring 
Break in Cancún, I was shocked to learn 
Barnes' team had reached the Sweet 16. Time 
for one more road trip on the Texan's dime. I 
channel the old Hellraiser in me and curse the 
refs from the stands, but Oregon again foils 
Texas. The trip is a success, for Madison real­
ly is a lot like Austin.

If you've read this far, you're probably as 
big a sports fan as I am. Looking back, it 
becomes clear what a great four years it has 
been for the Thorns. And for that, I'd like to 
begin my thank yous with a pair to Mack 
Brown and Rick Barnes.

It may be a no-no for a journalist to thank 
coaches for being successful, but hear me out. 
When deciding what college I wanted to 
attend, I knew I had to pick one with success­
ful sports programs if I was ever going to get 
noticed as a .sports writer.

I was right, as I eventually got the chance to

write for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram while 
still in college, mostly because the paper 
wanted more stories on UT football. I'm pret­
ty sure that scenario doesn't repeat itself at 
many other schools.

And by getting Texas 

the NCAA 
Tournament, Barnes allowed me to experi­
ence March M adness first-hand. There's 
nothing deplorable about that.

to 

Two other people 1 have to thank are Mr. 
and Mrs. Howard Terry, founders of the 
Terry Foundation. Had it not been for their 
foundation awarding me a full academic 
scholarship based on my high school record, I 
never would have been able to work at the 
Texan for the minimal salary I received.

Special thanks to Iron Mike Forcucci, who 
took me under his wing as a naive 17-year- 
old and showed me how media relations 
works. Mike, the things you taught me made 
all the difference in me being successful.

Another group of people who contributed 
to the writer I am today are the Longhorn 
Hell raisers. While some people might not 
think much of these guys, I am proud to say I 
used to paint my face and cheer until my 
voice was gone. Though I have outgrown that 
stage (for the most part), I'll never forget that 
if it w asn't for the fans, there would be no 
sports.

Thanks to Jimmy Burch, who gave me the 
chance to help him cover the Horns for the 
Star-Telegram. 1 hope we cover something 
together again one day.

And then there are the fine folks at the 
Texan who form the best fraternity on cam­
pus. All of you are my best friends, and the 
last year has easily been the best one of my 
life. I can't thank everyone, but here are a few 
who deserve special recognition.

Kristin, I can't believe you were able to put 
up with me and the sports department the 
way you did, but that's a testament to the per­
son you are.

Scott, 1 never would have survived the fall

if it w asn't for you. I doubt I will be able to 
face life with half the courage you do.

Bill, you were a blast to cover football with, 
and I'm sorry I couldn't get you to all the 
games. D on't give up writing, and don't lose 
touch.

John, our paths will cross again soon as 

big-time writers.

Brian and Jeff, you guys made me proud 
by proving you deserved your promotions. 
I'm sorry it took so long, Jeff, and I'm sorry 
you didn't start here sooner, Brian.

Jonathan, thanks for being the consum­
mate team player. You deserved better, but 
you made the best of the situation.

Mercedes, Kush, and Pump 'n Go, good 
luck next year. But remember, no cheering in 
the press box.

Damien, thanks for promoting me to P- 
Staff and being a great guy to party with on 
the road.

Dave, 1 don't know what my couch would 
do without you. That time you, me and Matt 
went to the Tower is one of my best college 
memories.

Finally, to Mom, Dad, and Grant, I love 
you all very much. We'll always be a family. 
And Grant, try not to kill yourself next year at 
Tech.

If you've read all this, hopefully you can 
draw the conclusion that I had a blast in col­
lege. My advice to anyone who wants to do 
the same — other than to start drinking heav­
ily — is to make your way down to The Daily 
Texan's sports office. You'll never regret it. I 
know I didn't.

Travis Richmond worked for The Daily 
Texan sports department as sports editor,

TO RON TO — S o m eth in g about 
elim ination games brings o u t the best 
in the Toronto Raptors. T h e y show ed 
it again Monday night.

Avoiding an end to their seaso n for 
the second time in three d ays, the 
Raptors found another w a y to win 
w ithout Vince Carter.

Keon Clark had 19 points and 16 
rebounds, and Morris Peterson scored 
a career playoff-high 2 0 points as 
Toronto beat Detroit 89-83 in G am e 4 
of their first-round series.

the Pistons 

G am e 5 will be Thursday night at 
D etroit, with the R ap to rs having 
sh ow n 
th e y 'r e no 
pushovers despite the ab sen ce o f their 
best player. Toronto is 5-1 w h e n facing 
elim ination over the past tw o seasons.
The Pistons failed to cap italize on 
Toronto's slow start, s tru g g le d for 
long stretches on offense an d got 
an oth er sub-par gam e fro m Jerry 
Stackhouse. Now, they m u st go into 
an elimination game with a roster that 
lacks 
the playoff e x p e rie n c e of 
Toronto's.

The Raptors, winning a t h o m e for 
the l()th straight time, took the lead for 
good in the second q uarter and held 
off every Detroit run. A n to n io Davis 
added 18 points, and A lv in W illiam s 
had 15 points and n in e assists. 
Peterson shot 8-for-12, sco rin g eight 
points in the fourth quarter, while 
Clark had 15 points and 13 rebounds 
by halftime.

The Pistons found a w a y to get the 
ball out of Davis' hands a fter he hurt 
them so much in G am e 3, b u t the 
Raptors had plenty of oth er options.

D etroit, meanwhile,

SE A T T L E — D avid R obinson returned to 
practice w ith the Spu rs in San A ntonio, and 
Rashard L ew is of the Seattle SuperSonics got 
some m o re bad new s about his injured left 
shoulder M onday.

The S p u rs, w ho b eat the Sonics 102-75 on 
Saturday in Seattle, hav e a 2-1 lead in their 
first-round, best-of-five playoff series. G am e 4 
will be p lay ed here on W ednesday night.

Lew is, the Sonics' starting shooting for­
ward, v isited a shou ld er specialist to check 
out his p artially d islocated left shoulder and 
was told to rest it for three weeks. It could 
require surgery, general m anager Rick Sund

they'll lo o k at it. But it's d ou btful."

The d e fe n d in g ch am p io n Los A n g eles 
Lakers w ill face the w inner of the Spurs- 
Sonics se rie s in the W estern Conference sem i­
finals.

It's u n lik ely that the 7-foot 1-inch Robinson, 
w ho's b e e n coping w ith a sprained low er 
back, w ill play in G am e 4. But he practiced a 
little w ith his team M onday. He d id n't do 
anything stren u o u s and w as gone before 
reporters w ere allow ed in.

"H e 's k ind of p la te a u e d ," coach G regg 
Popovich said. "H e h a sn 't m ade a lot of 
progress in the last cou ple of days. W e're not 
expecting h im to play W ednesday."

A fter th e w ay San A n tonio handled the 
Sonics in G am e 3, w h en Tim D uncan had 27 
points and 13 rebound s and 19-year-old Tony 
Parker scored 23 p oints on 10-for-15 shooting, 
the Sp u rs a re n 't expected to risk Robinson.

He h as p lay ed only seven m inutes in the 
San A n to n io -Seattle series, pulling h im self

B ut having their popular center back at 

practice m eant a lot to his Spurs team m ates.

"It did m e good to see him out there," Rose 
said. "H e 'll be b ack som etim e, it's only a m at­
ter of tim e. He feels better and he wants to get 
b ack ."

With Lew is all but ou t for G am e 3 w ith his 
shou ld er injury and a lingering sprained left 
ankle that has lim ited him to 12.7 points, 6.0 
rebounds and 26.3 m inutes in the first three 
playoff gam es, coach N ate M cM illan has to 
com e up w ith a replacem ent starter.

M cM illan deferred that M onday because 
L ew is' likely replacem ent, rookie V lad im ir 
R adm anovic, has a sprained big toe on his 
righ t 
still b o th erin g him . 
R ad m anovic played six m inutes and scored 
six points in G am e 3.

fo o t 

that 

is 

M cM illan held R ad m an ovic out of m ost of 

M o n d ay 's scrim m age.

"I definitely expect him to play m inutes," 
M cM illan said. "H opefully, he will be able to 
provide those m inutes, w hether it's as a start­
ing role or com ing off the b ench."

The Spurs m ight not have reserve forward 
D anny Ferry for G am e 4. Ferry is q uestion­
able for W ednesday night w ith a sprained 
right w rist that he sustained in G am e 3. Like 
Lew is, Ferry visited the d o cto r's office on 
M ond ay m orning and had his injured w rist 
fitted with a brace.

"I think I 'd .h a v e a hard tim e p layin g 
today," he said. "I need as m uch time as I can 
g e t."

In G am e 3, Parker punished Sonics point 
guard G ary Payton, w ho has m ade the N BA 's 
all-d efensive first team for eight consecutive 
seasons, by driving past him for uncontested 
layups.

M cM illan said Payton needs help at con­
taining P arker becau se he's not the defensive 
player he once was.

"I d o n 't think anyone w ho is 33 is like they 
w ere w hen they w ere 24 or 22," M cM illan 
said.

NBA players’ union members 
oppose proposed playoff changes

By The Associated Press

TO R O N T O — Two high-ranking m em bers of the 
NBA p lay ers' union said M onday they are opposed to 
changing th e first-round playoff form at from best-of-five 
to best-of-seven, although the union and the league are 
discussing the issue.

"The m ajority of the players that have been polled 
have said th ey w ould rather not extend the first round to 
seven g a m e s," players' union president M ichael Curry 
said before G am e 4 of the Detroit-Toronto series.

The N B A planned to extend the first round to seven 
games w h en it negotiated its new six-year television 
deals w ith A B C , Turner Sports and AOL Time Warner, 
but language in the contracts stated that the m atter was 
subject to th e approval of the players, league spokesm an 
Tim Frank said.

Curry said the players would agree to extend the first 
round if the league agreed to financial concessions that 
he would n o t specify.

Jerom e W illiam s of the Toronto Raptors, a m em ber of 
the un ion's executive board, said the players w ould like 
to get b ack the 10 percent of their salaries — know n as 
the escrow ta x " — that is being withheld from their 
paychecks u n d er term s of the six-year collective b ar­
gaining agreem en t reached in 1999.

The escro w tax funds are redistributed am ong the 

owners.

"That tax is very serious," said W illiams, w ho w as 
only a little less vague about what the players were ask ­

ing for. "I think we did put that dow n as one of our top 
10 choices," he said.

Curry would only describe the u n ion 's dem ands as 
*

"v ery m inor." 

The NBA is aware of the frustrations o f those who feel 
there is too m uch time betw een gam es during the first 
round. The Spurs and SuperSonics, for exam ple, had 
four days off betw een G am es 2 and 3.

C om m ission er D avid Stern has h istorically been 
opposed to extending the first round, but has since 
changed his thinking. He told reporters in Portland, 
Ore., on Sunday that players should agree to the change 
because they get 55 percent of all league revenue.

"W e estim ate that over the course of the new [TV 
deal], this will bring in an additional $100 m illion," Stern 
said. "W e think it's good for the netw orks; we think it's 
good for the ow ners and the players and the fans."

If the extension isn't agreed upon, Stem said the 
league will try to limit the time betw een gam es to no 
more than three days.

W illiam s said every player he spoke to w as opposed 

to the change, as w as the union's executive board.

"It takes a m ajority to agree, and that's a lot of players. 
A lot of players are getting taxed, so a lot of players 
aren't going to vote for that," W illiam s said. "E xtra play­
off games really d on 't benefit the players, because you're 
already broken dow n by then. The less playoff games, 
the better — as long as you're w inning."

AL FRANKEN LECTURES ABOUT BAD ADVICE, THE ART OF WAR AND 
HOW POLITICAL SATIRE HAS CHANGED IN THE MONTHS AFTER SEPT. 11

By Erin Steele
Daily Texan Staff

I im agine there will be a collective sigh of 
indignation on every college cam pus in the 
country this spring as the rich and pow er­
ful ascend the stage to give their com ­
m encem ent ad d resses. A fter all, when 
you're a graduate in the m idst of this y ear's 
rather bleak economy, it can't be fun having 
to listen to Steven Spielberg tell you, "It's 
lonely at the top," while your future plans 
entail a distinguished career as one of the 
country's m ost highly educated short-order 
cooks.

A1 Franken understands your pain, at 
least if his new book, Oh, the Things I Know!, 

gru rrirrftiiJM riu T 

is anY indication.

to listen to Bill G ates say that failure is a bet­
ter teacher than success. And they're going 
to sit there and say, 'Oh, sure.' You know, 
it's like, 'Fuck you.'"

While Oh, the Things 1 Know! is content to 
satirize those who dole out advice on every­
thing from the boardroom to the bedroom, 
Franken can't help but take a few jabs at 
those in the political arena — especially, as 
Molly Ivins might say, Shrub himself. This 
should come as no surprise considering 
Franken's day job as a political pundit; in 
1992, he anchored Com edy Central's 
Indecision ‘92, he is a recurring guest on 
A BC's Politically Incorrect, and he w as a for­
mer writer and producer of Saturday Night 
Live (where he did a dead-on impression of 
Paul Tsongas). He infuriated the GOP in 19% 
w ith his bestselling liberal manifesto, Rush 
Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, which he followed 
up with Why Not Me?, a mock memoir that 
chronicled the making and unmaking of 
Franken's presidency.

But as Ted Rail could tell you, the times, 
they are a changin'. Poli Heal 
satire is a tricky business in 
the wake of Sept. 11; as 

Franken said, 

it's 

matter of finding the 

right balance.

"There's a lot 
o f s tu ff that 
you know is 
just not prop­
er to say in 
p u b l i c , " 
Franken said. 
" T h e r e a r e 
things that I'll 
say to people 
who are my 
friends that I 
a million years

say in public. There are things in comedy that 
can be hurtful. I don't mind making Rush 
Lim baugh suffer a little bit; I don't mind 
afflicting the comfortable. I think satire is 
supposed to afflict the comfortable and com­
fort the afflicted, not afflict the afflicted."

Franken doesn't regret any jokes he has 
aimed at politicians over the years, although 
in retrospect, he said he might have phrased 
certain comments a little differently.

"I've spoken at a lot of Washington din­
ners, and the people in Washington live to be 
offended. They love to be morally indig­
nant," Franken said. "There are one or two 
lines that now, when I think about it, I could 
have said them differently so that people 
wouldn't have had an excuse to be morally 
offended.

"In Washington, particularly, there are just 
people who want to be offended, and even if 
they aren't offended, they'll make a cast.' that 
they're offended, or they'll be offended on 
behalf of other people. They just have a polit­
ical agenda, which is to be morally superior. 
So sometimes, there are different ways of 
saying the same thing; and if you're reckless, 
you'll be handing those assholes ammuni­
tion."

Reckless, Franken is not. But comedically 
bmtal he can be, as evidenced in an article he 
wrote for the Oct. 2(XX) issue of Rolling Stone 
entitled, Is George W. Bush dumb? It w as one 
of the more sweeping attacks on Bush's cred- ‘ 
ibility as a presidential candidate, especially 
in its chronicling of his performance at the 
debates, something the press — so often 
stereotyped as liberally biased — tended to 
shy aw ay from.

"If you look at the conservative media, like 
The Washington Times and the New York Post, 
they're really shoddy. They have no stan­
dards. A nd then they poiht to The New York 
Fimes and call them liberal, in som e sort of 
attempt to justify the fact that the right-wing 
press has no standards. They don't have the 
sam e journalistic standards at all, and they'll 
pretty much admit to it," Franken said.

"But if you look at the treatment of Gore 
vs. Bush in 2000, there's no comparison. The 
press w as much, much harder on Gore. In 
the first debate, Gore erroneously said he had 
gone dow n to Texas to a disaster site with 
Jam es Lee Witt and FEMA, and he hadn't: 
H e had gone down with Witt's associ­
ate," Franken said. "Even though he 
had gone to 17 disaster sites with 
James Lee Witt, the press just took 
him apart for it. It was like Witt 
was the most popular man in 
America, and Gore lied to get 
som e of this Jam es 
k Lee Witt magic to rub 

off on him." 

Comparatively, the 
press w as very easy on 
Bush, Franken said, failing to 
point out inaccurate statements that 
the now-President made.

"In the next debate, Bush said —

and this is a direct quote — "By far, the vast 
majority of my tax cut goes to those at the 
bottom." Which is really just so inaccurate; it 
w as more like the bottom 60 percent got 13 
percent of the tax a it," Franken said. "But the 
press didn't say anything at all about that. 
Their attitude was, '1 le doesn't know. Leave 
the man alone. It's not lying, he just has no 
idea. Com e on, give him a break.'"

Like every president before him, Bush 
seem ed ripe for satire as he scrambled atop 
the White House throne. After all, the coun­
try had just come off the Clinton years, and 
before that had suffered through the elder 
Bush's "A Thousand Points of Light."

"I rem em ber w hen Bush 

left office, 
everyone at SNL w as like, 'Oh, no. We're 
losing George Bush Sr., and this Clinton 
guy doesn't look funny at all,"' Franken 
said. "So you never really know how it's 
going to play out. And Bush looks like some­
one whose stupidity you could have a gcxxi 
time making fun of. But since Sept 11, it sort 
of seem s beside the point. Although I love 
what he said when he finally came out and 
gave a speech on the Middle East. His quote 
was, 'Enough is enough!' Which to me is just 
quintessential Bush, this Texan who has seen 
one Jew too m any killed. 
is 
enough!'"

'Enough 

However, Franken said that he thinks 
Bush is doing a good job in the war against 
terrorism, although he's not a huge fan of the 
terrorist lingo the president has adopted.

'"Evildoers' w as really stupid — well, 
m aybe not stupid so much as awkward," 
Franken said. "W hat's interesting is that the 
rest of the administration felt the need to say 
'evildoers' after he started using it, even 
though it w as clearly a stupid move. So 
when you watch Cheney use 'evildoers,' he'll 
slip it in, but he doesn't like it. You'll see him 
go, 'This isn't a war about fighting Islam, it's 
about fighting the (sigh) evildoers.'

"The worst thing Bush did was call it a 
'crusade' — it w as going to be Operation 
Infinite Justice — but he doesn't use 'crusade' 
anymore. I thought the White House should 
from 
som e Pakistani cab driver 
get 
Washington to come into the White House 
and run this stuff by him. Like, 'Operation 
Infinite Justice? Oh, no. No, only Allah can 
dispense infinite justice. Do not call it that, 
please. What else? Crusade? Oh, no! Whose 
idea w as that? That is stupid.'"

"'A xis of evil' w as very odd, too, kind of 
lumping Korea in there with Iran and Iraq. It 
w as like, 'See, it's not about Islam, we're 
lumping Korea in them, too,"' Franken said. 
"We've got a huge m ess here, is what we've 
got. Last month, Cheney went around the 
M iddle East trying to get money for 
Operation Finish Desert Storm. But they 
were all talking about what's going on in 
Israel, and until that gets straightened out — 
and it w on't— then the administration can't 
do what they want, which is to attack Iraq."

Franken — with his tongue planted firmly 
in cheek — said the biggest flaw the admin-

istration has m ade is not taking enough cred­
it for the unstoppable military machine that 
has played a key role in fighfing the war on 
terrorism.

"The military w as hollowed out — Bush 
said it w as in the worst state of readiness 
since Pearl Harbor — and then it turns out to 
-be the greatest fighting machine in the histo­
ry of mankind, and all in just a few months," 
Franken said. "So Rum sfeld must have 
fumed it around with nothing. No new 
appropriations kicked in or anything. So I 
guess it was just Rumsfeld's leadership and 
som e bailing wire and som e string that trans­
formed it from the hollowed-out military it 
w as under Clinton to the most awesome mil­
itary power in the history of mankind. So 
those guys don't take enough credit. I think 
every day they should be playing that up."

Of course, you won't hear Franken say any 
of these things in Oh, the Things I Know! 
Kenneth Lay may throw the book down in 
disgust, but overall, it's one of Franken's least 
confrontational w orks ever. But he still 
expects a little vexation.

"I think there are probably a couple of 
things in the book people will find offen­
sive," Franken said. "They'll say, 'I can't 
believe A1 Franken said this, and this, and 
this.' And then I'll have to defend myself. 
Sometimes the criticism comes from the odd­
est places. In Why Not Me?, I have the press 
secretary say that I have chronic fatigue syn­
drome. I used the anecdote to show that we 
were spinning, that I w as lying, that I didn't 
really have it. But I think people who have 
chronic fatigue syndrom e — and more 
importantly, the family members of people 
who have chronic fatigue syndrome — were 
offended. So sometimes, you just don't know 
where it's going to com e from ."
