CHRIS BICKEL/Daily Texan Staff MICHAEL CRISSEY Daily Texan Staff The UT Faculty Council approved a draft for post-tenure review of professors, with little changes, in its meeting Monday. The UT System Board of Regents issued guidelines and a deadline for periodic evaluation of tenured fac­ ulty last November, following a mandate from state Sen. Bill Ratliff, R-Mount Pleasant, who chaired the Interim Com m ittee of H igher Education last session. The committee found taxpayers were dissatisfied with tenured pro­ fessors because they cost the state too much money. Ratliff challenged state universi­ ties to draft their own policies for tenure review or face legislative action. The Legislature was pre­ pared to write policies for the uni­ versities this session. The Board of Regents has allowed mem ber until in stitu tio n s Septem ber to put tenure review policies in place. Two minor changes were made to the second and third sections of the draft clarifying the results of the review process in accordance with paragraph seven of the UT System guidelines. These guidelines list three possi­ ble actions which may be taken as a result of tenúre review. The evalua­ tions m ay be used to determ ine salary raises and awards, to deter­ mine who might benefit from men­ toring and for possible review for termination. Sen. Teel Bivins, R-A m arillo, chairman of the Higher Education C om m ittee, drafted a bill in December reiterating termination of professors as a potential conse­ quence of unsatisfactory reviews. In a telephone interview Monday, Bivins said termination would end not only tenure, but employment as well. Bivins said "the whole point" of his bill is to ensure accountability, not to threaten academic freedom. "U nder current law, there is a question about the termination of Please see Tenure, page 2 Bush blasts UT plan SPMNG TALES DAN CARNEVALE________________________ Daily Texan Staff versities. Texas Gov. George W Bush said Monday his pro­ posed tax cuts will not include the $926 million request­ ed by Texas chancellors for their "Back to Basics" pro­ gram. Although he would not reveal specific num bers, Bush said large budget cuts would leave higher education with signifi­ cantly less than what has been requested. "In my budget, there's a healthy amount of new money available for higher ed," Bush said. "But a billion is too ambitious." Bush campaigned for office promising to significantly cut the property tax rate and reform the public school funding issue. He has promised taxpayers a $1 billion "down payment" on property tax relief. Bush said he will reveal the specifics of his property tax cuts and public school funding plan Tuesday dur­ ing his State of the State Address. Bush proposes a budget each biennium which the Legislature uses as a guideline in creating their own. The "Back to Basics" program was formed in 1995 by the Higher Education Coalition, which is made up of all the chancellors of Texas public universities. The pur­ pose of the $926 million program is to increase minority enrollment and student retention in Texas public uni­ Members of the Senate Finance Committee, after hearing testimony for the program, said although it had merit, it would be difficult for the state to fully fund it. Michael Millsap, UT System vice chancellor for gov­ ernmental relations, said the coalition never expected full funding from the Legislature. "W e've always understood that this entity of state government involves a lot of give and take," Millsap said. "Obviously the numbers have to be adjusted." Millsap said he hopes the Legislature will look favor­ ably toward such a bold higher education program and appropriate whatever funding is available. Bush said the priority this legislative session will be to help prim ary and secondary education through property tax relief. "By doing that, by the way, we really do make it much easier for higher education to do its job," Bush said. "The first step on higher education is to teach the children to read," Bush said. "Higher education spends too much time on remedial education with kids who Gome out of high school who can't read." Millsap said some of the "Back to Basics" agendas correlate with Bush's primary and secondary education Please see Bush, page 2 Shuttle drivers’ breaks cause students concern ADRIAN COLUMB Daily Texan Staff Students expressed frustration last week at the practice of UT shut­ tle bus drivers to sit idle on routes for up to 20 minutes on their breaks, which has caused many students to be late for classes and other com ­ mitments. M endie Childers, a journalism junior, said she once saw a bus dri­ ver stop for his break at the bus stop and read the newspaper for 20 min­ u tes w h ile stu dents on the bus squirm ed im patien tly, checking their watches. "They get their tim ing off and end up ru nning one behind the other," said Jimmy Stones, a jour­ nalism junior. "One time, the driver took a 10- minute break about five minutes from campus at 9:50 a.m.," said Dax Valdez, a journalism sophomore.

The bill would allow school officials to keep confidential any informa­ tion related to athletic or scholastic competitions that might "affect the strategics or tactics" used in the competitions. Raymond's bill comes in response to a letter sent to UT President Robert Berdahl last fall by Michael Kelly, a Texas A&M graduate and part-time student in the University's Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. The letter, in accordance with the Texas Public Information Act, requested a copy of the Longhorn football team's playbook, but Berdahl refused the ffqoeaL Berdahl was concerned that inforniatiori in the playbook would find its way to Texas A&hfs football team.

W elch H all, the O ffice of Environmental Health and Safety has required all staff, professors and graduate students who work in the building take fire safety classes. Gary M onroe, d irecto r of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, said the classes cover hazard communication and hands-on fire extinguisher training. Monroe also said the classes are in compliance with the recommen­ dations of the A ustin Fire Department for improving safety conditions in Welch Hall. But some graduate students who participated in the classes said they are ineffective. Chemistry graduate student Ryan Callahan said, "When we first came to UT as graduate chemistry students, we had to take a safety class. This new class is no different from the one we originally took. They merely reiterat­ ed the same information." "I d on 't really know anything about chem icals, but I found the class extremely worthwhile. I think the safety departm ent does an excellent job helping the Chemistry department," Reeber said. "Participants were able to prac­ tice putting out small fires with fire extinguishers between Welch and Painter Hall," said Marvin Hackert, chairm an of the D epartm ent of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Hackert said, of the 608 people participating in 11 workshops so far, m ost work in W elch H all. However, he said, individuals from other departments in the College of Natural Sciences have also partici­ pated in the classes because there was extra space. „ Hackert said he acknow ledges the classes are merely a small part of a larger program to im prove safety in Welch Hall. "I believe the classes have served In addition to the classes, $24 mil­ lion has been budgeted for safety renovations to the building. Planned improvements include installing fire-resistant storage cabi­ nets, alarm systems, fire-retardant walls and sprinkler systems, which are all in com p lian ce w ith AFD requirements. "I don't think the classes made us aw are of an ything we d id n 't already know, but I think the fire- resistant cabinets are a good idea," said Chem istry graduate student Cameron Youngstrom. "In spite of what everyone else seems to think, we d on't walk around thinking we are about to blow up or anything," continued Youngstrom . "In chem istry, you have to face that accidents are going to happen. It's the nature of the beast." Page 2 Tuesday, January 28,1997 The D aily T e x a n Council Passes post-tenure review plan, general faculty approval next step tenured faculty," he said. Some members of the UT Faculty Council said they are alarmed that the review process could result in termination. There should be no direct connection between the review process and termina­ tion," said Paul Woodruff, chairman of the Faculty Council. "To keep the review process honest, it has to be without direct conse­ quences." Faculty members were also troubled over possible censure by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). The AAUP examines universities around the country for violations of academic freedom, said Alan Friedman, an English professor. Section 4 of the d raft allow s a professor who receives an unsatisfactory review from a departmental peer committee to ask for a more intensive review by an outside peer committee that would have the authority to overturn the first committee's findings. Friedman said he received a call from AAUP members concerned that double nega­ tive reviews would override the safeguards. "It looks to them like having a post-tenure review of tenure," said Friedman. "It looks like a double-whammy." Friedman said the AAUP has a censure list it publishes — “a black list" — that identifies institutions it considers to have \iolated acad­ emic freedom. Professors use the list when looking for empfoyment, Friedman said. He said the University' has been censured in the past. In the mid-1940s, the AAUP cen­ su red the U n iv ersity after th e UT System Board of Regents fired UT President H om er Rainey. Rainey w as dismissed because he support­ ed th e teaching of au tho r John Dos Passos, then considered to be a com m unist, in an English course taught by professor of English Frank Dobie. The University rem ained on the censured list for seven years. Reuben McDaniel, a professor of m anage­ ment science and inform ation system s said the AAUP's worries are not legitimate. "I believe in w hat they do, b ut they are running scared," M cDonald said. "I see no reason not to pass this. Having a second com­ mittee is the best way to protect faculty. It is the only protection we have." Despite the call received from the AAUP, Friedman said the University should not fear censure. "We have done nothing to infringe upon academ ic freedom to d ay ," Friedm an said. "There are no dangers in this draft." Bivins said the double review system does not conflict with the bill he filed. "My belief is that each institution should formulate their ow n process under the guide­ lines and legislation," Bivins said. The double review "goes into the m ethod for carrying out review," he added. P au l K elley, s e c r e ta ry of th e F acu lty Council, said the post-tenure review process is formidable legislation and has m any m ore stages to go through before it is finalized. If ap proved by the Faculty Council, the draft will be forwarded to the general faculty, then President Berdahl, then the UT System vice- c h an ce llo r for ac ad e m ic affairs, b e fo re it reaches the UT System Board of Regents for final approval. F rie d m a n said th e U n iv e rsity w a n ts to h av e a te n u re review policy p re p a re d for approval by the Board of Regents at the next board meeting in May. If approved by the regents, the tenure poli­ cy a m e n d m e n ts to th e H a n d b o o k of O perating Procedures for the U niversity of Texas at A ustin will be phased in over the next five years. Bush: $1 billion for education too ambitious’ Shuttle: Breaks wreak havoc with students Continued from page 1 program s. Continued from page 1 ~ ~ M ost notable is the $71.6 m illion d e d ic a te d to the P u b lic School Partnership. This com ponent of the program aims to improve the reading levels of 12,OCX) students in the first through third grades during the 1998- 99 academic year. It also indudes col­ lege preparatory courses for 75,000 high school students during the same year. "We feel like we're in lock-step with foe governor's agenda," Millsap said. While Bush said 40 percent of ele­ mentary students cannot read at their appropriate grade level, Susan Smith, coordinator of the UT Texas Academic Skills Program, said about 30 UT stu­ d e n ts m u st tak e rem edial re ad in g dasses each year to pass the TASP test. Smith ad d e d th at this n um ber is very low compared to other colleges. There are personal factors that can contribute to individual students hav­ ing trouble reading, she said "You can't make a blanket statement that it's the problem of lower educa­ tion," Smith said. Millsap has said foe "Bade to Basics" program was designed to help minori­ ty students graduate from college. It has been projected that by the year 2030, Hispamos will become foe major­ ity race in Texas. Chancellors have expressed concern that if universities do not increase their minority enroll­ m ent now, Hispanics will become a poorly educated majority by next cen­ tury. The program aims to increase finan- a a l aid assistance and provide more work study programs. If fully funded, other money will be set aside to pro­ vide college faculty with salary raises. Millsap said no aspect of the pro­ gram has been designated to be cut, no r has a re v e n u e su b s titu te been determined. Bush said his b u d get offers a net reduction in overall taxes with a sub­ stantial decrease in property taxes. He said other taxes, including a business activities tax and a possible sales tax increase, will help ease the state's bur­ den from less property tax revenue. A nother objective of Bush's is to finance school districts throug h the state m ore adequately. The cu rren t p ro g ra m , d u b b e d "R o bin H o o d " because it takes money from property- tax-rich school districts and distributes it to poor districts, has come under fire and may be altered this session. govern the conduct of drivers and the times they are allowed to take their breaks. The first shift of drivers each day runs four hours, beginning between 6:30 a.m. and 7 a.m., Richmond said. D rivers are allow ed one 10-minute break during their shift, scheduled "as close to the middle of their shift as pos­ sible," Richm ond said. The longest legitimate time for a driver to stop dur­ ing a scheduled break under normal circumstances is 13 minutes, he said. The system is designed to ensure that students generally "do not wait longer than 10 minutes' and that buses are no closer than five minutes to each other," Richmond said. But som e students said they have been told by drivers taking breaks to get off their bus. Russell Taylor, an astronomy fresh­ man, said, "¡sometimes when the bus drivers take a break they tell you that another bus is coming by soon and to sw itch over. It'll be 10 m in u te s if y o u 're lu ck y " b efo re a n o th e r b u s comes, Taylor said.

But he said when it is the first dri­ ver of a shift w ho takes a scheduled break, there is no other bus driver w ho can fill the gap, meaning one shuttle will be absent about every four hours. Richm ond said the gap is placed strategically, and breaks are organized in a tiered sequence on drivers sched­ ules so as to nave the least impact on students. For exam ple, Richm ond said, the first driver on the Campus Loop shut­ tle route is scheduled to take a 17- minute break at 8:53 a.m. So students riding that shuttle can expect to wait until 9:10 a.m. for the bu s to begin moving again, he said. Disch-Falk Field on the C am p u s Loop route is one designated point for drivers to take breaks. Richm ond explained th at d rivers so m e tim e s d o n o t take b re a k s on schedule because of the dem ands of students wanting to get to class. If the d riv e r do es not take a b reak at its scheduled time, b u t instead tries to take the break on a later route, a gap is created, Richmond said. This practice sometimes leaves stu­ dents stranded for long periods, b u t Richmond said schedules are designed for efficiency and drivers are instruct­ ed to check with the depot before skip­ ping breaks. "We don't make the schedules, but we have to keep to them," said shuttle driver Bismarck Meza.

From the rhetoric conservatives spew about the need to reduce big government, one would think they would be the last to advocate government's encroachment into our private lives. Vet this is exactly what conservative leaders from Bill Ben­ nett to William Bork (both models of puritan fas­ cism) actively and religiously propose. When it comes to issues like euthanasia, same- sex marriage, abortion and drug use, conserva­ tives advocate trampling individual rights to pro­ mote tradition or a "higher" moral Standard. All too often, such standards are just code for impos­ ing conservative beliefs on society. The legaliza­ tion of same-sex marriages in Hawaii last year illustrates how conservatives subjugate individ­ ual liberty to "tradition." After the Hawaiian Supreme Court ruled that banning same-sex marriages without a showing of compelling state interest violated Hawaii's constitution, conservatives across the nation went into a furor over the "dangers" this would pose for families and "family values." The response these proto-fascists devised — with the approval of President "my favorite color Donyel M cC ollister TEXAN COLUMNIST The legalization of same-sex mar­ riages in Hawaii last year illustrates how conservatives subjugate individ­ ual liberty to “tradition.” is plaid Clinton — was the Defense of Marriage Act. This law, probably unconstitutional, says other states don t have to recognize Hawaiian same-sex marriages. Exactly how this defends marriage is a mystery. What s not a mystery, however, is conserva­ tives perverted concern with America's bedroom habits. Other examples of conservative intrusion into the private lives of Americans aré the drug legal­ ization, abortion and euthanasia issues. Conservatives believe the government has the right to tell Americans what they can and can't put into their bodies, even if it doesn't adversely affect anyone else. The same can be said for euthanasia and the right to die. But neither our bodies nor our lives are federal government property. Whatever happened to being the mas­ ter of one s fate? Isn't America about the individ­ ual's power to decide his or her destiny? Not for conservatives. The real question is whether or not the govern­ ment can tell Americans what they can do with their bodies. The answer should be that as long as an individual doesn't violate the rights of anoth­ er, the government must not intrude on his or her personal life. Conservatives claim these laws are necessary to protect social order and to uphold our nations' morals. This is the definition of fascism. Conserv­ atives don't consider the possibility that different people have different outlooks on life and soci­ ety. Morals that require legal enforcement are not worth anything. Maybe one day conservatives will realize the lesson of social liberalism: when left to decide their own destinies and lives people will natural­ ly choose a moral order.

In Anderson v. Celebrezze, the Supreme Court ruled that "A court, considering a challenge to a state election law must weigh the charac­ ter and magnitude of the asserted injury to the rights protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments that the plaintiff seeks to vindicate against the precise interests put forward by the state as justifications for the burden imposed by its rule." The Court declared the importance of ascertaining "the extent to which the interests make it necessary to bur­ den the plaintiffs rights." The SG set up the code to ensure its elections' integrity. But by fail­ ing to comply with federal law, we risk that integrity. Two code provi­ sions could subject SG election results to legal challenge. They should be revised. first troubled provision is Section 7.1: "No campaigning will be Bowed before 12:01 a.m. on the day following the Candidate Seminar. Trus prohibition includes posting of candidate posters and speaking before campus organizations and student groups." Political speech is vigorously protected by our Constitution. A stu­ dent announcing his candidacy is exercising his or her right to express political views — a right fiercely protected by the court. The state may enforce time, manner and place restrictions, but only when they protect a compelling state interest and are narrowly tailored to avoid unneces­ sary restriction. In this case, the restrictions are too broad. ^ T h e second problem area centers on candidate campaign expendi- In Buckley v. Valeo, the Supreme Court ruled that limiting campaign expenditures severely limits speech, and that limits on expenditures were not justified to prevent either corruption or economic inequality. These spending limits were designed to give each candidate an equal shot at election. This is a worthwhile objective. But the Court decided such sentiments did not outweigh the First Amendment. Therefore, we must eliminate spending limits. In their place, the candidates for each position should have the option of collectively volunteering to limit spending. Under such agreements, candidates could avoid a spending race which might gen­ erate astronomic, at least from a student's perspective, campaign costs Glenn Maloney, associate dean of students, said no one has legally challenged the ESB rules beyond the University's judicial system and appellate court. Therefore, Maloney believes, the SG "has the right to set its own rules. We're letting the SG run this election." Maloney who was outlining courses of action, not stating the Uni­ versity s stand on the issue — also said previous case law does not apply to ESB rules because SG elections are not governed by state elec­ tion laws. But SG election rules are governed by the U.S. Constitution. If Mal­ oney s reasoning were correct, the SG could vote to forbid African- Americans from running. This would illegally violate the 14th Amend­ ment, impermissibly restricting student speech violates the First Maloney suggested the SG could defend itself from a student lawsuit by arguing the current rules are the only way to hold a fair election and that students are free to challenge the code. We encourage not only the current SG, but our future representatives to call Maloney's bluff. I F VAC) New scholarship plan only perpetuates the problem Attempting to retain minorities and create diversity, the University has proposed the Presidential Achievement Scholarship. No one doubts that this scholarship complies with the Hopwood decision and is a better answer than race-based affirmative action. Nevertheless, it falls short of ensuring equal­ ity of opportunity. Awarding scholarships based on parental education and income, the student's high school's rank compared to other Texas schools and the student's SAT score in com­ parison with his peers, the plan amounts to affirmative action for the less educated. If it weren t destined to fail miserably, this pro­ gram would be great. Students given this scholarship will strug­ gle at best and fail or drop out at worst. Cre- H unter Stanco TEXAN C O LU M N IST ating a program like this provides no benefit if its recipients don't stay enrolled. Obvious­ ly, students who are less prepared when they begin at the University will be less like­ ly to succeed. Ordinarily, UT students are judged in comparison with their peers. Looking at UT graduation rates, one quickly notices that minorities do not graduate as often as Ang­ los. This is partly due to the economic diffi­ culties many minorities face. However, it cannot be denied the grading system also contributes to this phenomenon. The new scholarship plan is better than the pre-Hop- wood system because it alleviates the eco- nomic-hardship part of the failure equation; however, the plan does nothing to solve, and will probably increase, the effect of com­ parison grading at universities. Grading is curved in the majority of class­ es, therefore, if you make a 50 "raw score" you can still have an A — provided every­ one else makes a 40. A student who attend­ ed a terrible high school might do well in comparison to his peers, but when com­ pared to bigger fish in the university envi­ ronment, he will probably fail. Forcing less educated students to compete with the best and brightest in Texas is like putting Pee Wee Herman in a boxing ring with Evander Holyfield. To give underprivileged students true equality of opportunity, we must attack the real problem. We need to ensure all schools, at the elementary and high school levels, are equal. Then we can give scholarships to the best students, regardless of race, gender or economic status. We have limited resources; we should spend those resources in the best way possi­ ble — the way that creates the most equality of opportunity per dollar. This plan does not maximize our return. We would be much better off taking the $926 million William Cunningham request­ ed from the State Legislature and spending it on our inner-city children, providing them with homework help that their parents can't give them, providing them with programs that increase their desire to excel and learn. If we give underprivileged students an equal opportunity as children, we won't have to insert them into environments where they aren't likely to survive. Then, we will be able to grant admission and award scholarships to students based on the only criterion that is really fair __ merit. The issue is not whether we need to create equality of opportunity. We do. The ques­ tion is how best to achieve that with the lim­ ited resources we have. The President Achievement Scholarship is not the best answer. We can do better than this — we should. Stanco is an economics senior FIRING LINE T h e Da il y T exa n Editorial Board T ara L.

Jim Dedman has not checked his facts in regard to Wes Wynne as the moderator of the YCT list. Wes Wynne is not the moderator of this list anymore because he was pres­ sured out of the job by some of the more ardent conservative sub­ scribers. Wes, who is the former co­ chair of the First Amendment Coali­ tion, has moderated two other polit­ ical discussion lists, as well as mod­ erating campus debates that have involved groups as diverse as YCT and the University International Socialists. But Wes has been criticized for inviting anarchists, gays, liberals, and specifically me to the list. Wes' motivation of inviting people with diverse and different viewpoints proved too much for some YCT list members. Consequently, they took the moderator role from him as soon as another person was avail­ able for the job. Once Wes was pushed out of the position, I was promptly kicked off with no warning, no explanation, and certainly no courtesy because my political views range from mod­ erate to liberal. 1 am so empathic about pointing out that Wes is no longer the moderator because I want people to understand that Wes Wynne is incredibly support­ ive for open political discussion involving people across the ideo­ logical spectrum. Wes Wynne’s ideals and tolerance for others with different viewpoints is something to be commended and respected by every student at UT, regardless of their political beliefs. Amanda Bright Babcock Graduate student in communica­ tion sciences disorders Ever heard of taxes? Taxpayers and parents of stu­ dents who are able to partake in getting a higher education are becoming ever more frustrated by the thoughts of increasing fees and tuition for students in Texas' public schools. Since 1991, tuition and fees have nearly tripled from almost $600 per semester to almost $1,800 per semester. This is ludicrous to think that inflation alone is causing all of the increases in tuition and fees. How can tuition and fees go up so much and the amount of ser­ vices remain the same? This is high­ ly unfair to the students who go to any Texas public schol. Yes, Texas public schools are very affordable. However, Arizona state universities have lower tuition and fees, get almost the same ser­ vices and students pay almost $1,100 a semester to go there for in­ state tuition. They are also able to service more students and have the same amount of services for less than what we pay in Texas. Perhaps that are provided Legislators should ask what people in Arizona are doing to have this lower tuition and have the same services for Texas students. Besides having a lower crime rate, there cannot be that much of a difference between the two states. Therefore, before a tuition and fee increase is proposed, please consider raising the level of service before the fees. Many of us students grow weary of finding the necessary funds to come to this school. Stuart Richardson Chemical engineering senior Food for thought In Mr. Light’s zeal to lionize (pun intended) ABC News for its cover- age of scandalous food preparation at Food Lion, he neglects to men­ tion one key fact: it was a hoax. ABC sent out undercover reporters to be hired by the supermarket and sabotage the food’s integrity after learning of failed attempts by union leaders to organize store workers. Thus, ABC had a partisan agenda. My source for this: an openly con­ servative news agency. Heck, you wouldn't find it anywhere else. It is true that Food Lion never disputed the validity of ABC's claims in court, especially when presented with videotaped evi­ dence. However, the supermarket chain had no prior record of impro­ priety and proved that its credibili­ ty was compromised by ABC send­ ing in its goons. ABC created these unsanitary conditions and then was quick to pat itself on the back; they were conveniently silent when the truth was exposed. This follows incidents like NBC's rigged explosion of a GM automo­ bile for a Dateline story on safety hazards that never turned up. When news of NBC's deceit sur­ faced, they were ordered to pay for wrongful damage, but hushed that episode quickly as well. My point is that before one sympathizes with the press for so-called threats to their journalistic freedom, we ought to consider the lengths to which some might go to break a story regardless of the truth they seek to find. Those with control over the airwaves and print media rarely advertise when they are wrong, nor do they disclose the political moti­ vations fueling their modern-day witch hunts.

UNIVERSITY T h e D a ily T exa n 5 TUESMV, JMRIMY2& 1H7 CORPSE Commencement on the Web CARLA BASS______________ Daily Texan Staff The 1997 commencement ceremo­ ny at the University has graduated to the World Wide Web, allowing degree candidates to find informa­ tion on the annual event. Students can find information on speakers and obtain the ceremony schedule for the 114th Spring Com­ mencement, to be held May 16-18, through a Web page available on the UT home page. The Website is h t t p : / /w w w .u te x a s .e d u / co m ­ mencement/97/. The site contains an introductory letter from UT President Robert Berdahl, an overview and schedule of events, a biography on the com­ mencement speaker and other gen­ eral information. Susan Clagett, associate vice pres­ ident for Administration and Public Affairs, said she oversees the pro­ duction of the site, which first appeared on the UT home page Dec. 20. "W e're trying to think about putting commencement information in this new form before we even think about putting it in print," Clagett said. Students will still receive invita­ tions and a ceremony guide in the mail, as well as a program at the event. But the Web site allows stu­ dents to get this information quick­ er, Clagett said. "We're way ahead of schedule, in terms of getting information out on commencement," she said. The Web site is a natural out­ com m encem ent grow th of a redesign process that started almost three years ago, Clagett said. Berdahl appointed an ad hoc committee in 1994 to redesign Uni­ versity-w ide com m encem ent events. The 1995 spring commence­ ment was the first to reflect this restyling of the ceremony. Revisions include more music, fanfare, a new arrangement of the alma mater and an emphasis on undergraduates. D octoral candidates began to hold a separate event to receive their hoods in 1995. This ceremony had previously taken up a large portion of the University-wide com­ mencement. The University also began offer­ ing posters and T-shirts reflecting annual commencement themes. When the University first pro­ duced an official commencement T- shirt in 1995, they were only given to those who volunteered at the graduation ceremony. "People were ready to buy the shirts off of people's backs," Clagett said. Due to the demand, the Univer­ sity began to sell the T-shirts the fol­ lowing year, obtainable through a mail-order form found in the com­ mencement guide and at local book­ stores. This year, the official logo of the UT commencement ceremony is a crayon drawing of the Tower which relates to Berdahl's proclamation that 1996-97 is the "Year of the Child." This year, graduates can also buy note cards with the theme and logo, and they may be able to eventually order these items from the UT home page, Clagett said. Famed UT conductor dead at 83 m im i b y u n _____________ baity Texan Staff A former UT professor of opera, whose legacy includes co-found­ ing the renowned Austin Lyric Opera, died Saturday at age 83. Before retiring from the Univer­ sity in 1986, Walter Ducloux was chairman of the UT Opera The­ ater. In 1987, he became the artistic and music director of the Austin Lyric Opera. Since then the com pany has remained the premier regional opera com pany in the U nited States. D ucloux, who was born on April 17, 1913, in Kriens, Switzer­ land, received a ^ h .D . from the University of Munich at age 22. Later he received a conducting degree at the Vienna Academy of Music. D u clo u x 's list of accom- p l i s h m e n t s includes head­ ing the Czech National Bal­ let, and for 25 years he was a guest panelist on Texaco's Metropolitan Ducloux Opera Quiz every Saturday. He received a bronze medal from the Italian government for his work with the Italian Opera. He also received Germany's Cross of Merit for his work with Ger­ man operas. Besides his m onum ental achievem ents* of D ucloux's said he had a great sense of humor and was a great source for wonderful anecdotes. friends Rose Taylor, an associate pro­ fessor at the University of South­ ern California, said Ducloux was the "driving force" in her opera career.

Keane, who lobbies the U.S. Gov­ ernment on behalf of Sinn Féin, the Irish republican party, focused pri­ marily, in her lecture, on the role of women in Northern Ireland. Keane said many atrocities face women in Northern Ireland, includ­ ing the imprisonment and physical m istre a tm e n t o f fem ale p o litic a l p ris o n e rs an d a g e n e ra l la ck o f health care for women. K ean e said a 1960 fe d era l law required equality between men and women in Northern Ireland, but she said inequality still exists there. "Nearly 40 years after the procla­ m a tio n , m a n y w o m en are s t ill u n e m p lo y ed and u n a b le to p ick their own jobs, and are forced to live in co lo nies based upon their re li­ gion," Keane said. "Catholic women in Northern Ire­ land have no rights and the consti­ tution of Ireland even tried the role of w om en as m others and h o u se­ wives." Keane said U.S. support of the Irish republican party would "play a crucial role in facilitating Britain's release of control on [Northern] Ireland." Nancy Nugent of the U.S. Foreign Affairs O ffice in W ashington, D C. said the United States currently has no foreign affairs policy toward Ire­ land.

The 6.9-mile, six-lane highway running from the MoPac Express­ way southwest to Texas Highway 71 was built by private developers in the mid-1980s as a Travis County road project, Councilmember Daryl Slusher said. Slusher, who proposed the partial closure, said poor con­ struction and the parkway's precari­ ous location above the Edw ards Aquifer have caused water damage to its surface for several years. "The city had no say in the road being built, yet the city has to pick up part of the maintenance cost," Slusher said. Peter Rieck, director of the Department of Public Works and Transportation, said the problems with the surface of the Parkway should not be associated with faulty construction. "There are some sections that do have deteriorations caused by underground w ater problem s," Rieck said. "That7s nature taking it's course." Rieck said many legal issues must be examined when considering the closure of the parkway, like what type of a barricade must be erected in the event of a closure. According to a memorandum by the Department of Public Works and T ransportation, the city is responsible for maintaining 64 per­ cent of the parkw ay, aboout 4.4 miles. The section of parkway lying outside city limits is maintained by Travis County. Estimated maintenance cost of the parkway for 1994 was $907,000, including road repairs and reshap­ ing. Taxpayers' money would be saved under the latest proposal, Slusher said, although he said he was waiting for specific numbers from the D epartm ent of Public The City of Austin began to construct the Southwest Parkway in the mid 1980’s. It was later abandoned and is due for further reconstruction. T A N Y A LUJAN/Daily Texan Staff O n F e b r u a r y 14 Works. The majority of drivers traveling the parkway commute to Austin from outlying communities such as Bee Cave and Lakeway, Slusher said. "We don't have an obligation to subsidize development outside the city," Slusher said. He said it is not necessary to leave all six lanes open to traffic, but suggested that half the roadway could be closed and the other three lanes be turned into a tw o-lane highway with a center turning lane. Lakew ay City M anager Dave Benson said he would rather see money go toward the maintenance of Southwest Parkway than a par­ tial closure. The parkw ay is the most popular way to travel between Austin and Lake way, he said. "Our problem is quite honestly that there are some serious safety concerns. I question the validity that reducing the size would save any money," Benson said. Councilm em ber Ronney Reynolds said it is not in the best interest of the citizens' safety to partially close a road that is in con­ stant use, "We used to have an old adage in Austin: 'If we don't.build the roads in Austin, they w on 't co m e,'" Reynolds said. "W ell, that's not true." The top issue in Austin is grid­ lock, and several other roads are in worse condition than the parkway, Reynolds said. "If this were to pass, it would be detrimental to the people in Oak Hill and go against any regional planning that we are trying to do," he said. To deter the gridlock, Reynolds said he would support an alterna­ tive route to Interstate-35 and the syn ch ron izatio n of street ligh ts throughout the city.

T H O M A S TERRY/Daily Texan Staff New stalking bill passes Senate Associated Press stitutional. AUSTIN — Texans soon will have another way to fight stalking after the state Senate on Monday unanimously passed a bill to again make such action a crime. The bill was expected to be on Gov. George W. Bush's desk Tuesday. He made the issue an emergency item in the opening days of the 1997 session and is expected to sign the bill before the end of the week. It will become effective as soon as he signs it. The Texas C ourt of C rim in al Appeals last September ruled the state's old anti-stalking law uncon­ The bill defines stalking as similar action on more than one occasion that's directed specifically at another person. The person committing the acts would have to know or reasonably should know the targeted person would regard the actions as threaten­ ing. The acts also must cause the tar­ get or the target's family members to fear bodily injury, death or property damage and must cause a reasonable person also to fear such injuries. The first offense is a misdemeanor that carries up to a year in jail. Subse­ quent stalking convictions would be felony crimes, with possible prison sentences up to 10 years. The House last week added a provi­ sion so that non-family members of the target7s household also would be con­ sidered. Lawmakers supporting the change said stalking victims often move in with friends or neighbors, subjecting those people to the threats and dangers posed by stalkers. Sen. Mike Moncrief, D-Fort Worth and sponsor of the bill, said the House change strengthened the bill. "With the additional language I think we are able to protect more potential victims," Moncrief said.

The Top 25 teams In The Associated Press' women's college basketball poll, with first-plaoe votes in paren­ theses, records through Jan. 26, total points based on 25 points for a first-place vote through one point for a 25th-place vote and last week’s ranking: The Lady Longhorns received word of their brand new No. 10 ranking late Monday, and then proceeded to spank an over­ matched Sam Houston squad 79- 58 at the Erwin Center. Texas finished in the Associated Press top 10 nine times between 1980 and 1989, but hasn't been ranked this high after 16 games since the 1989-90 campaign. But Monday night, however, the Horns still had one other order of business to attend to. I told the team that would probably make headlines, us making the top 10," Conradt said. But I didn't want the headline to have that comma that says/Texas Moves into the Top 10, Loses,"' The Lady Longhorns, for the first time in three games, played inspired ball to ensure Conradt's front page nightmare would not come to fruition. Texas center Angela Jackson scored 10 of her team high 19 points during a 26-12 UT run in the final 12:08 of the first half, a stretch that gave the home team a hefty 15-point going into the break. "We went out and took care of business," Conradt said. "O ur intensity was good and I thought we came out ready to play. After we figured out that we had to control the boards and control the tempo, we did a good job." It was a renaissance night of sorts for Jackson, UT's 6-4 center who entered the match averaging 13.2 points per game but had tal­ lied only five per contest the pre­ vious three times out. "In shootaround, [UT assistant] Kathy [Harston] was trying to tell me to play like a hot dog," the junior Wisconsin native said. "I guess that's Texas slang for being cocky, I don't know. But I was coming in the game pretty confi­ dent, and my whole team was try­ ing to get me up, so it worked." ■ B P !

By and large, however, the Lady Horns ran away with this game on the defensive end of the floor. GT forced 22 Sam Houston turnovers, and collected 14 steals on the night, exactly one-half of which were accounted for by senior forward Amie Smith. Smith's seven steals tied her career-best, set in a game against Southern Methodist two years ago. Amie was her usual up-and- down, all-over-the-place self," Conradt said. "The good thing about this team is we have a num­ ber of people who can step up." A Jackson lay-up with 8:10 remaining gave Texas a 21-point advantage, and the large cushion allowed Conradt to empty most of her bench.

New York wants to ban UFC again fl ALBANY, N.Y. — Less than a year after legalizing "ultimate fighting," key New York state leaders said Monday they may be ready to ban it, or at least let local governments do so. State Assembly Speaker Shel­ don Silver, a Manhattan Democ­ rat, said he would press for a statewide ban on the often bru­ tal contests that mix boxing, martial arts and street-brawling techniques. state Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, a Republican, signaled he was ready to support legislation that would at least allow localities to ban the matches. Bruno had been the driving force last year in having New York legalize ultimate fighting, which he has said is safer than boxing. Bruno was asking Republican Senate colleagues if they wanted to adopt legislation to prohibit the sport statewide or give local­ ities the right to ban it in their areas. "I kind of opt for local rule," Bruno said, adding that a Senate vote could be taken as early as Tuesday. — Compiled from staff and Associated Press reports WEDNESDAY B WOMEN'S BASKETBALL The Lady Horns host Baylor at the Erwin Center at 7 p.m. HUD AY B 8WNMB6 ft DWMG The Horns host Arizona and Florida at the Jamail Texas Swim Center at 6 p.m. SATURDAY B SBBBBB ft DflfWG The Horns host Arizona and Florida at the Jamail Texas Swim Center at 9 a.m and 2 p.m. B Disch-Falk Field at noon.

Bears looking to rebound against UT MIKE FINGER MIKE FINGER Daily Texan Staff ~ ” ~ After suffering through the demise of the Southwest Conference amidst a pair of dismal seasons, it seemed as though coach Harry Miller had finally turned things around at Baylor. Through the end of last month, the Bears had gone undefeated at home en route to an 11-1 record, making many people in Waco start thinking that this new Big 12 era might not be so bad. But that was before the conference schedule began. January has proven to be a rude awakening of sorts for Baylor, as the team has been dealt six league losses in the span of three weeks. The Bears struggles of late may have revealed just how soft their early-season schedule was, although the team has been able to take its TEXAS MEN'S BASKETBALL newfound lowly status in stride. All of this is part of a learning experience for us, Miller said. Our players' attitudes are still just great. An older team might bail out at this point, but not our kids." According to Miller, Baylor's youth is the reason why his players have been able to hang on through the recent slide. The Bears have a solid nucleus of underclassmen, a group head­ ed by preseason all-conference center Brian Skinner, who should present a tough matchup for No. 23 Texas in Tuesday night's battle at the Ferrell Center in Waco. "He's a dominant player on the inside," said Horns' swingman Kris Clack, who will proba­ bly assume a bigger role in the frontcourt with the absence of the injured Ira Clark. "He did well against the Dream Team over the sum- iBuuMmn, I When: Tuesday, 7 p.m. I Where: Ferrell Center (Waco) I Television: Prime Radio: KVET 981FM, Í300 AM B Records: Texas (11-5 overall, 5-1 Big 12); Baylor (12-7, 1-6) mer, so you obviously know he can play." And despite the fact that the Texas big men have stepped their games up in the last two games, Baylor (12-7, 1-6 Big 12) will probably attempt to utilize their formidable duo of Skin­ ner and Doug Brandt as much as possible. But the pair of 6-10 post players aren't the team s only weapons, as the Bears boast one of the best three-point shooting squad's in the conference. That potential for an offensive out­ burst is what is keeping the Horns on their toes. They re explosive, and they're dangerous," said Texas coach Tom Penders said "We'll have to press and give up some easy points inside against them." Yet as much as the Horns (11-5, 5-1) try to express caution about venturing into the "Bear Cave," it is extremely apparent that the real matchup problems exist in Baylor's game plan. Texas' pressure defense is becoming one of the most intimidating in the country, and Miller is well aware of it. They do a great job of converting turnovers into points, Miller said of the Texas press, which has forced close to 20 turnovers per Please see Hoops, page 9 Boston reunites Canseco with A’s, ‘Bash Brothers Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — The Bash Brothers are together again. Jose Canseco returned to the Oak­ land Athletics in a trade from Boston on Monday and will be reunited with Mark McGwire, with whom he formed one of the most explosive combos in baseball in the late 1980s and early 1990s. With Canseco and McGwire com­ bining for 200 homers in 1988-90, the A's won three straight AL pen­ nants. Canseco had five seasons of more than 30 homers for Oakland, including 44 in 1991 and 42 in 1988. Canseco was sent back to Oak­ land for right-handed pitcher John Wasdin, who was 8-7 with a 5.% ERA last season in 25 games, 21 of them starts. The Athletics also got cash, apparently to pay part of Canseco s $4.5 million base salary this season. Some baseball officials, speaking on the condition they not be identified, said they had heard Boston would pay $3.5 million of the salary, but this could not imme­ diately be confirmed. We have significantly improved our lineup," A's general manager Sandy Alderson said. "Our five core hitters — Canseco, McGwire, Gerón­ imo Berroa, Scott Brosius and Jason Giambi — are as good as any in the league." The trade had been antic­ ipated for sev­ eral weeks. The outline of the deal had been in place since last week, but Canseco first had to undergo a physical exam demanded by the Athletics. Canseco Hampered by back, hip and ham- string problems, Canseco missed nearly 40 percent of Boston's games since he was acquired to be the Red Sox designated hitter in 1994. Canseco, 32, had asked the Red Sox for a trade after they fired his friend, manager Kevin close Kennedy, at the end of last season. Canseco and McGwire combined for 416 homers for the A's in 1986-92 and homered in the same game 42 times — the eighth best mark for teammates in major league history. As well as being known for his exploits on the field, Canseco was known for his fast cars, exotic pete and after-hours entertainment. Canseco was arrested for having a gun in his car while receiving med­ ical treatment in San Francisco and was cited several times for driving violations such as speeding, includ­ ing an incident in which he claimed he was testing rocket fuel. He bashed the car of his wife, Esther, and made a well-publicized nocturnal visit to the apartment of Madonna when the A's were in New York to play the Yankees. Canseco once brought a large land tortoise into the Oakland clubhouse, from his and drew complaints neighbors in the trendy Bay area neighborhood of Blackhawk with his menagerie of unusual pets. Canseco was in the on-deck circle waiting to bat during a game on Aug. 31, 1992, when he was pulled from the field and told he had been traded to the Texas Rangers for three players and cash. Recycling former players has become a theme for the A's in the 1990s. Players such as Rickey Hen­ derson, Dave Stewart and Mike Gal­ lego all had multiple stints with the Athletics. Canseco, the AL's MVP in 1988, hit .289 with 28 homers and 82 RBIs in 96 games last season for the Red Sox. In his career, which began in 1985 with Oakland, he has a .272 average with 327 homers and 1.033 RBIs in 1,341 games.

Because he came our way, we are better, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said at a funeral service for Flood, who died Jan. 20 of throat cancer — two days after his 59th birthday — after a long stay at the LCLA Medical Center. Baseball didn't change Curt Flood, Curt Flood changed baseball," Jackson said. "Curt lost a case and won the race. Curt opened the flood­ gates [to free agency]. He freed black, white and brown." Flood was a three-time All-Star and a seven-time Gold Glove winner who had a career batting average of 293. But his off-the-field impact was much greater on his sport and others. It all began after the 1969 season, when Flood was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies by the St. Louis Cardinals. He refused to report, instead asking then-commissioner Bowie Kuhn to declare him a free agent. Flood then filed a lawsuit, claim­ ing baseball had violated antitrust laws. The Supreme Court ruled against him in 1972, but in 1975, an arbitrator granted free agency to pitchers Dave McNally and Andy Messersmith, in effect ending the reserve system and clearing the way for today's free-agent system. "Curt Flood must go in the Hall of Fame," Jackson said. "Curt is the winner. People are better. America is better. "His contemporaries admired Curt but they did not follow him. Don't feel sorry for Curt, he didn't lose. The Supreme Court lost. Today, we celebrated the life and legacy of an authentic American hero." At age 31, Flood sat out the 1970 season. He then played in only 13 games for the Washington Senators in 1971 before retiring. Among others who spoke at the service called "Curt's 9th Inning" at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church were Hall of Famer Bob Gib­ son and Bill White, teammates with the Cardinals; Donald Fehr, the cur­ rent executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and author George Will. In addition, Oscar Brown Jr., read a poem he wrote, titled Curt Flood, which finishes: "From now on all our young, should hear his praises sung. Upon lonesome parade, and on entering the bank, all free agents should thank Curt Flood for the foundation he laid." entering life's And U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D- Mich., read a letter of sympathy to the Flood family from President Clin­ ton and received applause when he said, "Every professional athlete in America ought to be here today." Such was hardly the case. Contem­ porary athletes were difficult to find among the mourners, who num­ bered about 250. "He became for me somewhat of a legend," Fehr said of Flood. "He led at a time where he had no followers. Today's players enjoy the rights Curt was denied." Gibson, Flood's roommate with the Cardinals for 10 years, struggled with his emotions as he spoke about his friend. "This is not easy," Gibson said. "I think I probably knew Curt as well as anyone. I can never remember being unhappy with him or having a mean thought. That's really unusual for me." After pausing as the mourners chuckled at that remark, Gibson said, "We didn't have to talk to communi­ cate. He would grunt and I would grunt and we would understand." Curt had a way of bringing you back to reality when you got a little too high, Gibson said. "When you were down and out and didn't think anything could be funny, he could make you smile. "I've been sad for a while, but I'll get over it. When I do, my next thoughts about Curt Flood won't make me sad, they'll make me smile." Conyers told about the humiliat­ ing treatment Flood endured in 1956. when at age 18, he became the sec­ ond African-American to play in the Carolina League in his first year as a professional. "H e moved America forward," Conyers said of Flood. "His achieve­ ments on the field were matched only by the courage of his character."

Lanier, w ho has becom e instru­ mental in deciding whether the Oilers can escape early, said he has not been in negotiations with the team and only heard about the offer indirectly. No one was available at the Oil­ ers office M onday to comment on the m ayor's decision, a secretary who answered the telephone said. Lanier said the O ilers should repay som e of the money the tax­ payers spent in 1987 to renovate the Astrodom e as dem anded by the football team. "T h e taxpayers bought 10 years of presence of the O ilers nine years ago when they put out about the $80 million and they paid interest since then," Lanier said. "Som e argue that not all of that was for the Oilers benefit, but a substantial part of it w a s ," he added. "S o if they w anted to pay a pro­ portionate amount back to the tax­ payers, if they w ou ld n't get to keep w hat the taxpayers paid them for being here this 10th year, w e'd take a look at th at." He estim ated the cost as much as $10 million. W hile Lanier said he's heard the O ilers have proposed trading their p ractice facility, w hich includes 17,000 square feet o f bu ild in g space, to Harris County for free­ dom from the lease, he said no team has rep resen tative approached him. "I d on't think that this seven acres ... that doesn't make the trip, unless th ere's oil under it," he joked. O ilers ow ner Bud Adams w ants his team to play in the Liberty in M em phis next season Bowl in w hile Nashville is being built. their new stadium Adam s m ust g et approval to leave Houston from the city, the county and A strod om e USA , which m anages the county-ow ned stadium. A Harris C ounty com m issioner toured the p ractice facility last week with a consultant hired by A strodom e USA officials, w ho have asked Lanier to let the O ilers out of their lease. Sources told the Houston Chroni­ cle the O ilers have offered to settle law suit w ith A strodom e USA a and give the com pany an addition­ al $1 m illion paym ent for an early release. The dispute involves $2.5 million lost whefi the N ational Football League canceled a 1995 preseason football gam e because of problems with the dom e's A stro­ turf. Astrodom e USA also supports allow ing the team to flee early because the arena loses m oney when crowds are small. Lanier was included in the set­ tlement of a 1995 lawsuit in which the city, county and A strodom e USA agreed to not block the Oilers' negotiations with Nashville. Hoops Continued from page 7 contest. "They're maybe the best in the conference at that." W hat has been plaguing the Horns as o f late has been their inability to sustain big leads. In each of the past four games, Texas has seen double-digit leads trans­ form into ties, although they only went on to lose in one of those breakdowns. And w hile Penders says that trend is reflective of college basket­ ball across the nation, Miller attrib­ utes the comebacks to the streaky nature of Runnin' Horns basket­ ball. "1 think it's because of the way they play," Miller said. "They go on a lot of runs, but sometimes they miss shots and let teams back in it." But even though Texas has been raked over the coals recently for their second-half struggles, Pen­ ders said it is not as big a concern as many believe, explaining that the Horns play their best when the chips are down. "With the players on this team and the scorers that we have," Pen­ ders said, "I like our chances in close gam es."

Packers Continued from page 7 crowd, and the fans gently touched it as it went by. Snow mixed with confetti as the players waved from buses in which the windows had been removed. The players grinned and flashed victory signs to a crowd still bask­ ing in the 35-21 victory over the New England Patriots a day earlier in New Orleans, the Packers' first title in 29 years. Gary Falck got a high-five from coach Mike Holmgren as the bus rolled by. "Thanks, M ik e!" said Falck, wearing green-ar.d-gold Mardi Gras beads, a Packers jacket and hat. Even before the Packers' plane touched down, the parking lot at Lambeau Field was packed with tailgate parties in full swing. Some who didn't get any of the 60,000 tickets that sold out within hours last week stood in the lot with handm ade signs hoping against hope: "W ant tickets." Several inches of snow covered Lambeau Field, with temperatures at 19 degrees and the wind chill making it feel like 1 degree. Heaters blew hot air into benches normally used for players during games. Inside Lambeau Field, hom e­ made signs sprouted among the sea of green-and-gold hats, jackets, banners, cheeseheads and flags: "The glory returns" and "Vince, we got your trophy back ." "W e've ALWAYS believed!" The overcast, snowy day didn't seem to bother giddy, beaming rev­ elers along the motorcade route. Peeping from a yellow stroller was 10-month old Weston Dekon- ing, with parents Mark and Annie Dekoning of Rubicon and his grandmother, Esther Sutherland. "He'll hear what it was like his whole life and people will talk about this for years and years," Dekoning said.

"Toni K ukoc," C hicago Bulls team m ate Steve Kerr says, "is prac­ tically unguardable." And yet, he's the source of frus­ tration for his coach, w ho know s that Kukoc can com pletely dom i­ nate one qu arter and com pletely disappear the next. "The things Toni does w rong are because of bad habits — being off- balance, losing vision of the guy h e's supposed to guard or box out. A nd that creates problem s for the w hole team," Phil Jackson said M onday. "But he also can carry us offen­ sively, especially if Michael Jordan is having an off night. Teams can 't match up against Toni. We can use him at center or guard as well as for­ w ard." Kukoc is the "X" factor for the NBA's best team — now m ore than ever because of the suspension that will sideline Dennis R odm an for at least six more games. The Bulls take a 37-5 record into their annual w inter road trip, w hich begins Tuesday night in Vancouver and also includes gam es against Sacramento, Golden State, Seattle, Portland and the Los A ngeles Lak­ ers. If the defending cham pions are to have a successful West C oast sw ing — and, perhaps, a chance at another 70-win season — they need Kukoc at his best.

Jackson said, repeat­ ing a re p o rte r's question. "H is defense and rebounding." Saturday against Toronto, Kukoc had 18 points and 13 assists. In the 5 1/2-m inute stretch to start the sec­ ond quarter, Chicago m ade eight baskets; Kukoc had tw o of them and assisted on the other six.

"H e runs hot and cold, as m uch as any player I've seen," Jackson said. Kukoc, w ho arrived from Croatia w ith great fanfare in 1993, is one of his coach's favorite w hippin g boys. Jackson scream s at Kukoc often during games, usually for being out of position defensively. And then there are the other tim es ... w hen Kukoc's m arvelous play brings a big smile to Jackson's face. "I can pass the ball pretty w ell," Kukoc said after S aturday's 13-assist gam e.

I ill - - itfl Page 12 Tuesday, January 28,1997 The Daily Texan New England fans show love despite loss Associated Press BOSTON — The N ew England Patriots returned M onday from their Super Bowl defeat, most shunning a welcome from their fans or public officials. The team took a charter flight to Boston's Logan A irport, where they landed at about 6 p.m ., and arrived in Foxboro shortly after 7 p.m. Mom than 300 fans stood in the freezing the Patriot buses cold and cheered as arrived, led by a fire engine and escorted by police cruisers. About a half dozen players came over to the barricades set up just o ut­ side the stadium to shake hands, sign auto­ graphs and thank fans for their support. "This is am azing. We lost the Super Bowl and they still love the New England Patri­ ots," said defensive back Otis Smith. C orw in Brown and o w n er Bob Kraft spoke to the crow ds through a m egaphone. "W e've been to the show. After the game, everyone talked about w hat w e have to do this off season to get back to the game. Everyone said w e have to turn it up another level. We can't look back," he said. "You have to com e out every w eek w ith the same intensity, but you got to turn it up one m ore level. Together w e can get it done," he told the fans. 'There's still one m ore thing we w ant," said Kraft. "N ext year at this tim e w e'll have a Super Bowl trophy." The fans came uninvited to the stadium and the team has asked that there be no reception. The Patriots did not respond M onday to an offer by Boston M ayor Thomas M enino for a rally and parade on Wednesday. Some fans had even waited at the airport, although they w ere told to stay away. "I think som eone should have come dow n here to w elcom e them back," said Sandra M otzkin, 52, of Lynnfield, w ho w as w aiting at the airport for her son, daughter-in-law and husband to return from w atching the Patriots' 35-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers in New O rleans. "They earned this and they did a w onderful job this year. The fans should have come out to let them know how much they appreciate it." Kevin Wood, 31, a shoe-shine man at Logan, said: "I think they're entitled to a good hom ecom ing. They deserve it. But the average Joe can't afford to take the day off to come dow n here, even if they had one." The biggest public display in New Eng­ land in response to the Super Bowl was probably by Green Bay fans. Students and faculty at the M assachusetts Institute of Technology w oke M onday to find a 10-foot- by-10-foot cheese w e d g e-sh ap ed yellow sculpture atop the 160-foot dom e of the m ain building in honor of the Packers. The w ork w as m ade of electric m etal con­ d u it pipe covered by fabric w ith holes cut o u t to resem ble cheese, the w ords "GO CHEESE! GO CHEESE!" and a bottle of Wis­ consin-brew ed beer. U niversity officials had the sculpture by 9:30 a.m. Students from Wis­ consin w ere suspected. rem oved Patriots fans said they regretted that there was no large-scale hom ecom ing. "I think there should be at least a few peo­ ple here, you know, to give them a pat on the back," said Jennifer B rugliera, 27, of Foxboro, as she w aited at the airport for a friend to come back from attending Sun­ d ay 's game. Fans w aiting at Foxboro Stadium w ent in the Pro Shop to buy souvenirs and keep warm . "It's a lot quieter, b ut business is still good," said Ken Flanders, w ho runs the shop. "If they had w on the Super Bowl, w e'd have police details here and it w ould be crazy right now." W hen the team does arrive, coach Bill Par- cells will not be w ith them , som ething Susan Stuart, 40, of Bellingham, did not think w as right. "I'm sick of Bill Parcells. If he w ants to leave, I think he should get on the bus and get out of tow n," said Stuart, a season ticket holder of nine years. "To not even come hom e w ith the team, it show s poor sports­ m anship and poor character." Tagliabue to rule on Parcells’ ability to leave Patriots Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — NFL commissioner Paul Tagli­ abue will decide w hether coach Bill Parcells, w ho took the N ew England Patriots to the Super Bowl, is free to leave them behind. A conference call involving Tagliabue and both sides in the dispute over Parcells' contract is set for Tuesday w ith a decision possible by Wednesday. Parcells claims he can coach w herever he w ants in 1997. The Patriots requested the conference call, and ow ner Robert Kraft says Parcells cannot coach or take a com parable position with any other NFL team next sea­ son. D espite the Patriots' successful season, ending with S unday's 35-21 Super Bowl loss to the Green Bay Pack­ ers, Kraft and Parcells have had a cool relationship. Speculation has focused on the New York Jets as Par­ cells' next stop, but no other team can negotiate with him until a ruling by Tagliabue, for m any years the NFL's chief counsel. A Tagliabue decision in the team 's favor w ould give Kraft leverage to dem and com pensation from any club that w ants to hire Parcells. Patriots players and coaches seemed to be in the dark as they prepared for their trip to the airport for their return home. "I d id n 't get any inclination of w hat he's going to do," said guard William Roberts, w ho also played for Parcells on tw o New York Giants cham pionship teams. After the game, "he w as saying that no m atter w hat happens, you all stick together and com m it yourselves." Dante Scarnecchia, a defensive assistant, said all Par­ cells' coaches hope he stays with the Patriots. "H e's an im pact guy in so m any w ays," Scarnecchia said. "This guy is a special guy, he's a special coach, he's a special person." The Patriots m otorcade — seven police motorcycles, tw o stretch lim ousines and four buses — left for the New Orleans airport late M onday m orning w ith o ut Par­ cells. He reportedly did not leave New Orleans on the team charter flight but said he w'ould be in New England on Tuesday. Parcells said after the game that he h ad n 't thought about his future. this point," he said. "M y whole time has been occupied w ith getting to for perm ission to talk w ith Parcells, according to Patriots spokesm an Don Lowery. He also said the team had no firm plans to interview possible successors. "We have a coach," Lowery said. A report last w eek said San Francisco defensive coor­ dinator Pete Carroll, w ho coached the Jets for one year in 1994, w ould meet w ith Patriots officials Thursday. But Tagliabue's ruling may not be issued by then. The Patriots have been in tw o Super Bowls, both loss­ es, and w oke upim es to m ore turm oil. Exactly 11 years earlier in the sam e Superdom e, they lost to the Chicago Bears 46-10. The next day, they voted to accept a voluntary testing program am id reports of d rug use by players. As players filtered into their hotel lobby to check out Monday, they w ere peppered w ith questions about their coach's future. All said Parcells d id n 't talk about that after Sunday's game. If he s done, I w ish him well," said cornerback Otis Smith, w ho w as burned by A ndre Rison for Green Bay's first touchdow n. "Hopefully, I can play w ith him again." Smith also said he d id n 't feel em pty about the Super Bowl loss. As of Sunday, the Jets had not contacted the Patriots "It's just som ething that happened," he said. "We ' came up short. We gave it a valiant effort." Before this season, Kraft agreed to shorten Parcells' original five-year contract by one year, advancing the expiration date to this Saturday. C onflicting in terp retatio n s of w h at th at revision m eans for next season are at the heart of the dispute. Kraft claims Parcells can't coach or hold a sim ilar job w ith any other NFL team in 1997, w hile Parcells says other parts of the contract allow him to w ork w herever he w ishes.. If the Jets w ere to negotiate w ith Parcells before Tagli­ abue rules, it w ould violate the NFL's tam pering regula­ tions. Kraft has not suggested that has happened. After the 1994 season, Tagliabue punished the Caroli­ na Panthers for tam pering with Dom Capers, then Pitts­ burgh's defensive coordinator, and aw arded the Steelers a third- and fifth-round draft choice. Steelers president Dan Rooney, w ho did not have the pow er to give the Panthers perm ission to talk w ith Capers before Pittsburgh's season ended, w as fined for doing that. C apers led the Panthers to the NFC title gam e against Green Bay in his second season as coach. l *1 M er r ill R u s se ll, d .d .s . New Patient Special!

The new movie, In Love and War, however, boasts no sparks between Sandra Bullock and Chris O'Donnell, and instead of an epic romance is mostly an epic bore. The film is based on a true story, and concerns a young Ernest Hemingway's (Chns O'Donnell's) romance with an American Red Cross nurse (Sandra Bul­ lock) during W orld W ar I. Tackling Ernest Hemingway is an ambitious pro­ ject for anyone, and it's ironic that this movie about one of Am erica's greatest writers has such a poorly written script. The writing is often boring and leaves its charac­ ters trying vainly to pull off ridiculous lines. An example of this perplexing dialogue occurs when O'Donnell explains to a doctor that a particular sol­ dier cannot die because that soldier has never slept with a woman. The script allows for several other witty observations similar to this one throughout the film and brings the narrative to a grinding halt sev­ eral times. Though Sandra Bullock and Chris O'Donnell have no tangible chemistry together, it is not entirely their fault that their performances are not up to their usual standards. Chris O'Donnell is a victim of the casting Please see War, page 14 mean he's a happy person. "I have never been happy. My whole life has been a d o w n e r/' he told die O r a n g e é b u s i f y R e g is te r, DangerfMd with no pundtline. Dangerfield dabbled in stand up comedy but his act didn't catch on until he was in his 40s, when he begán using the "no respect" bit. Things are looking up now: Dangerfield has a new movie, Meet Wally Sparks, has stopped drinking, is taking antidepres­ sants and has been h appily mar­ ried lor three years. "Things are going well, and I enjoy it when people are enter­ tained by my act," he said. "That's all I want; I have enough money. I just want to make peo­ ple laugh. That's my goal in life." "It won't make me a happy man, but it will be enough." ■ BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Rat Pack is back. A newly found kinescope of the only known television perfor­ mance featuring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. has been donated to a museum and will be shown in April. The Frank Sinatra Spectacular was shown June 20, 1965, as a benefit for the Dismas House in St. Louis, the city's first halfway house for ex-convicts. The program hasn't been shown since its original telecast to a select group of theaters. Produc­ er Paul Brownstein found the recording in a secretary's office at the Dismas House. Sinatra, Martin and Davis take turns performing songs, then appear together to tell jokes, do impressions and sing Birth o f the Blues. The film was donated to the Museum of Television and Radio in Beverly Hills. The museum will screen the film in New York and Los Angeles in April. The cable channel Nickelodeon is expected to air the show at an undetermined date. ■ LOS ANGELES — A song­ writer claims he is due thousands of dollars for 11 songs he pro­ duced and co-wrote for All Eyez on Me, the Tupac Shakur album that has become a hit after the rapper's death. Johnny Lee Jackson claims that he was promised a $10,000 advance per song against royal­ ties of 3 percent. Jackson said he repeatedly has asked Death Row Records for payment but has been refused. He has sued the label for unspecified damages. The lawsuit also claims that Death Row "uses various strong- arm tactics"... to 'convince' artists to perform and to waive their rights. Death Row officials referred calls to the company's lawyer, David Kenner, who did not imme­ diately return a call Monday. All Eyez on M e has sold more than 7 million copies. — Compiled from Associated Press reports Adam Durvitz, singer of the band Counting*Crows, calls upon a sold out audience at Friday’s concert at City Col- iseum. Counting Crows first became a radio favorite with their 1994 upbeat release Mr. Jones. THOM AS TERRY/Daily Texan Staff The Connells still rock BETH WAWERNA Daily Texan Staff Though they never quite con­ quered the mainstream music scene, The Connells have prospered as a cult favorite for more than 12 years. The band has cultivated a sort of timeless sound that has kept a loyal and devoted fan base the constant years. The six-m an band was formed in 1984 by brothers Mike and David Connell, both stu­ dents at the University of North Car­ olina. over "M ike started w riting some songs," said bassist David Connell. "H e wanted to have a diversion from his studies, so that's why we started playing. He talked me into playing bass, which I hadn't played until college." At the time The Connells released their first album Darker Days in 1986, the band had grown to include gui- THEComms Featuring: Tonic At: Liberty Lunch, 304 W. Second St. Date: Wednesday Time: 9 p.m. tarists and vocalists George Huntley and Doug Macmillan and drummer Peele Wimberly. Keyboardist Steve Potak would later join the band in 1991. Since Darker Days, The Connells released Boylan Heights (1987), Fun & (1989), One Sim ple Word Games (1990), Ring (1993), and Weird Food & D evastation (1996), each album exhibiting a slightly different flavor. Over the years, they've definitely undergone an evolution o f sorts. The earlier albums have a raw, edgy quality into a more upbeat, pop sound later in their career. that grew "O ver time, we have gotten better at our instruments," bassist David Connell said. "The songwriting has definitely changed." In general, the band has evaded definite classification as any one of the major musical genres of the past two decades, and perhaps that's part of its appeal. Avoiding trite tags such as "alternative m u sic" and "pop-rock," which have become so muddled in their distinction from any other modem musical category, David Connell simply describes the music as "guitar pop." But their unique brand of "guitar pop" has yet to launch The Connells into national stardom here in the U.S., a concept that is probably quite difficult for dedicated fans to grasp. However, the fame they lacked in the U.S., they made up for with an unexpected push to the top of the European charts. "W e had a much greater success in Europe on radio and MTV than we ever had in the U.S.," David said. "The '74-75' video was in the top 10 on MTV Europe for a long time, but it was only played twice ever on band's music is grounded in solid funk values.

Moviegoers kept the weekend's football theme going as they favored the comedy about a sports agent, played by Tom Cruise, who develops a conscience.

The top six film s were grouped closely on a weekend that pulled in sm aller m ovie audiences because of Sunday's N ational Football League cham pionship. "It's to be taken for granted. The game alw ays puts a dent in the Sunday box office," said John K rier of Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc., which tracks m ovie grosses.
