In the referendum, 2,729 students voted against the union proposal; 982 voted for it. About 7 percent of the student body voted, less than the 10 p ercen t tu rn o u t for last spring's Student Government elec­ tions. Students voted W ednesday and T hursday w hether to im pose the fee, which would have paid for half of the proposed union building's $33 million construction cost and for its maintenance. Under the pro­ p osal, the fee w o u ld h av e been implemented after the union's com­ pletion. UT officials have said they would have considered paying the other half of the $33 million construction cost. Supporters of the new union said they might call for another referen­ dum to determine if students were willing to pay only for the union building's operating and m ainte­ nance costs. “The union could still be built, but only if stu d en ts provide the University with proof that they will pay for the operating costs of the P resco tt new Caballero, chairm an of the Texas Union Board of Directors. u n io n ," said Under such a proposal, Caballero said, stu d e n ts w ould only be req u ired to pay ab o u t $18 per semester in additional fees. Caballero was also chairm an of the Build the Union Com m ittee, w hich ca m p aig n ed for the fee increase. The group spent $3,110 on advertisements and a private Web site to encourage students support the referendum. The union has been proposed for n o rth e a st cam pus near W aller Creek, immediately south of Ernest Cockrell, Jr. Hall. It would primari­ ly serve students in the College of Engineering, the UT School of Law and the College of Fine Arts. S u p p o rte rs said a new union w ould ease overcrow ding in the Texas Union building and serve the growing student population. Opponents of the union proposal rejoiced Thursday. "I'm thankful that this preposter­ ous proposition died such a miser­ able and hum iliating death," said Sonia Mohammed, chairman of the Y oung C o n serv a tiv e s of Texas. "W e've show n the Texas U nion Board of D irectors that hell will freeze over before we allow them to subject us to their ridiculous tax- and-spend agenda." In d eed , the vote against the union was overwhelming, said SG Vice President Randy Cooke "In political terms, I think they'd call this a spanking" Cooke said. issu es — Groups that rarely agree on polit­ the C ollege ical Republicans, Students for Acci and O pportunity, and the Young Conservatives of Texas among oth­ ers — rallied together against the union proposal.

W ith p re lim in ary stu d e n t enrollment at 48,866 this fall, the U niversity finally su rp a sse d Ohio State University, whose fall en ro llm en t figures show a 48,278-member stu d en t body. The University has been gaining on Ohio State since 1995. "Bad news," said UT Interim President Peter T. Flawn. F law n said w h en the University reaches such a large size, complications arise for stu­ dents and administrators. "This institution works very well at 48,000 students," he said. "S om ething bad h a p p e n s at 48,001 — everything gets satu­ rated." For the past four years, the U niversity has been w orking under an enrollm ent m anage­ ment plan to keep enrollment at about 48,000 students. "It is very much in our inter­ est to h o ld en ro llm e n t at 48,000/' Flawn said. "We'll earn a little bit more money through the formula, but that will be off­ set by the overcrowding." UT enrollment has been fluctu­ ating slightly over the past few years, but jumped from 48,008 in fall 19% to 48,866 this year. Both the University and Ohio State have been trying to trim e n ro llm e n t since 1991. The U niversity decided to reduce the size of the student popula­ tion afte r the s tu d e n t body reached almost 51,000 in 1990. Scott H aley, d ire c to r of admissions at Ohio State, agreed that having a sizable university often creates problems accom­ modating students' educational needs. "N ot being num ber one in that area doesn't hurt my feel­ ings," Haley said. “We just want our students to know that a big place can be small." H aley said by dow nsizing, O hio S tate officials have increased the academic quality of the incoming freshman class, which has helped the university achieve many of its goals. Ohio State has dropped from 50,623 students in 1993 to 48,278 this fall. "The reason we have dow n­ sized is because we were unable to provide a quality education to our students," H aley said. "You just can't accom m odate them with all of the support ser­ vices that they need."

B ecause of serv ices like te le ­ phone registration and automated degree checks, the U niversity is m uch m ore efficient now than it was seven years ago when enroll­ ment reached 51,000, Vick said.

WORLD a NATION 3 T h e D a ily T e x a n ■ H M, ICTUS 24,1N7 Dow drops 186 in worldwide fall NEW YORK — A panicky stock sell-off in Hong Kong reverberated Thursday through­ out Europe and foe United States, where foe Dow plunged almost 230 points before rebounding slightly. It was the fifth-worst point drop in the Dow's history, though not even close to foe largest percentage drop. "Nobody knows which way to go," said Tatsuya Enomoto, chief foreign exchange dealer at Sumitomo Bank Ltd. in New York. In Hong Kong, which analysts had believed was immune from the financial turmoil affect­ ing foe rest of Southeast Asia, the Hang Seng index of blue chip stocks dropped 10 percent for foe day, falling 1,211.47 points to 10,426.30. It now is down 23 percent for foe week, fol­ lowing major meltdowns across Asian stock and currency markets that began this summer. In the fallout of the assault on stocks in Hong Kong — a bastion of capitalism in Asia despite C hina's takeover in July — major stock indexes fell more than 3 percent in Japan, Britain, France and Germany. Shares were off more than 5 percent in Mexico and down more than 8 percent in Brazil. In the United States, the Dow Jones indus­ trial average tumbled 229 points, or 2.9 per­ cent, at one point. But Wall Street's best- known indicator recovered some lost ground, still closing down 186.88, or 2.3 percent, at 7347.77. The shock came just days after the 10th anniversary of the Oct. 19, 1987, crash that sent die Dow plummeting 508 points, or near­ ly 23 percent. But even with Thursday's loss, foe average is still up almost 22 percent this year. Gerald Gorman, 64, a retired editor watch­ ing foe ticker at a Fidelity Investments office in New York on Thursday afternoon, was hop­ ing for a larger sell-off so he could buy some of his favorite stocks more cheaply. "Even 1987 didn't unnerve me," he said. "In fact I did some buying then. It would have to be an extreme drop of several hundred points, accompanied by social disaster. It would have to be really apocalyptic." If there was a winner Thursday, it was the U.S. bond market, which soared on the tur­ moil. US. Treasury bonds and bills, the most liq­ uid and secure of investments, were snapped up by global investors looking for a haven for foe money pulled out of stocks. Yields on foe 30-year U.S. Treasury bond, an important indicator of foe cost of borrow­ ing, plunged ;o 6.30 percent by late Thursday from 6.42 percent late Wednesday. The rout in Hong Kong occurred after the government, in a move to support its curren­ cy, began aggressively selling US. dollars and buying Hong Kong dollars. It also cut off a cheap source of credit for banks. Interest rates soared. The in terest on overnight loans between banks shot up to 300 percent from 7 percent Wednesday, sparking fears that banks will raise their prime lending rates Friday, undermining Hong Kong busi­ nesses and foe real estate market. The defense of foe Hong Kong dollar was a rude surprise to currency and stock traders, who had speculated that the government, under pressure from Hong Kong manufactur­ ers to stay competitive, would instead devalue foe currency by letting it freely trade as other Asian governments have recently done. NEWS Nanny testifies in child murder trial ■ CAMBRIDGE, Mass.— A 19-year-old English nanny charged with murdering a baby by shaking and slamming his head testified Thursday that her job could be frustrating but that she never hurt the child. “I love kids," Louise Woodward said. Woodward said 8-month-old Matthew Eappen frequently toppled over and might have hit his head when he fell near the steps of his playroom the day before he was hospitalized last February. Woodward said the only time she ever shook the infant was the day last year when she found him in his crib, gasping for breath and turning blue. He died five days later of head injuries, his brain ooz­ ing through a crack in his skull. Congo leader returns to capital ■ BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — The Republic of Congo's new military leader swept into its devastated capital Thursday in a looted Mercedes, promis­ ing to seek international aid and implor­ ing citizens to help "restore brotherhood" to the country. It was Gen. Denis Sassou-Nguesso's first appearance in Brazzaville since his Cobra militia seized the central African capital and the country's second-largest dty, Pointe Noire, from President Pascal Lissouba last week. In brief comments to thousands who gathered outside his Brazzaville home, Sassou-Nguesso, riding in a car seized from his predecessor's governm ent, promised to end foe looting that has con­ tinued to traumatize the city. He also appealed to civilians who fled the fight­ ing to return home. "We fought the enemy and we have won, foe criminals fled. Now we have to get Brazzaville back on its feet," Sassou- Nguesso said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Molecule prevents HIV from infecting cells WASHINGTON — Researchers have identified a natural molecule that prevents HIV. from infecting cells, a basic discovery they say could eventually lead to powerful new types of AIDS drugs or even a vac­ cine. The molecule, discovered by a team led by AIDS researcher Robert Gallo, works against HIV by physi­ cally blocking foe portal used by foe virus to invade lymphocytes and other types of blood cells. Gallo's team at the Institute of Human Virology at foe University of Maryland, Baltimore, earlier identi­ fied three similar molecules, all called chemokines. But the new molecule is much more effective because it pro­ tects all the cell types attacked by HIV, Gallo said. * Flooding the body w ith these chemokines could create a barrier between HIV and its target cells, and thus prevent foe virus from spread­ ing its deadly infecboa Gallo said. "Its breadth of activity and its potency will make it more important than any of the other chemokines found so far," Gallo said. But he em phasized that before chemokines can be tried against HIV in humans, the molecules must be extensively tested in monkevs against a related virus called SIY Such testing could take several years. Discovery of the new chemokine comes just as doctors report that an AIDS virus is developing a resistance to the three-drug combination that has successfully suppressed HTV m thousands of patients. That combina­ tion of reverse transcriptase and pro­ tease inhibitors works against the virus inside foe target cell. Chemokines would work against HIV bv preventing the virus from entering those cells. The virus is thought to be less able to develop a resistance against this blocking action. The discovery "sounds very promising" as a new type of treat­ ment against foe disease, said Patricia D'Souza, an AIDS researcher at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "This chemokine appears to inhibit the viruses that appear early, as well as those that develop later," said DSouza. "It might be really valuable in preventing infection, as well as preventing foe progression of the dis­ ease." Save up to $100 off your gold class ring!

The 2 3 percent cost-of-living adjust­ ment Congress adopted boosted legisla­ tor's salaries from $133,600 to slightly over $136,000. Likewise, it prompted a good deal of public outrage. This outcry from the public is not surprising — only hypocritical. Anyone with the means to raise his own salary in our capitalistic society would act accordingly What is surprising is the amount of arguing among legislators about this measure, and particularly the banality suggested by these arguments. The major justification running within the Congress for the raise is that most people have experienced a significant increase in their real incomes, which is income adjusted for inflation. Legisla­ tors have been denied similar raises for over five years. Proponents of this fac­ tion promised the voters congressional salaries would not increase until five budget was balanced. While both argu- D aina Harvey TEXAN COLUMNIST ments are equally valid, the common theme is that the arguments depict who is working for the public good this year and who is taking the year off. Of the House freshmen, 62 of the 74 voted against the raise. Why? The answer is simple — fire echo of cam­ paign promises still rings in their ears. Unlike their colleagues, they possess a bond with the general electorate. Of the 30 senators up for re-election in 1998,19 voted against tire raise. Further research reveals that of these 19 senators, the 14 incumbents expect highly contested elections. Of the 11 senators up for re- election in 1998 who voted in favor of the raise, eight experienced relatively easy victories in their last election. They obviously thought such stigmatization from raising their owr salaries will have a benign effect on them in regards to the voters. From these numbers, it can be inferred the representatives most closely associated with their constituents fear the vengeance of these citizens in the next election. They do not represent the general electorate on good faith, but do so out of fear and uncertainty. A number of solutions have been pro­ posed concerning what to do with the money. These range from that of Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, R-Colorado, who advocates giving the increase in his salary to charity, to a Congressman from Texas claiming his family can barely manage on his meager salary and a larg­ er raise should be demanded. Despite the absurdity of the implications of die latter, both concepts involve ineffectual solutions intended to hide the essence of the concern at hand. We pay these peo­ ple too much for the job they do. To ensure fair representation for their voters, congressmen should be paid in accordance to the salaries of the people whom they represent. A constituent- based wage would account for inflation and satisfy tire public, and would acute­ ly depress public outrage. But perhaps the most beneficial effect would be the decrease in the disparity of die incomes between the public and the public ser­ vants. Of course, most senators and rep-, resentatives would take about a $100,000 pay cut This cut would have a twofold effect. First most legislators would not run for re-election because of the sharp decrease in their salaries. This would be an excellent means test to determine, who really works on behalf of the public. The cut would also act as a limiting' agent on campaign spending and on the stagnation of die turnover rate of many idle legislators. No one should care what our political leaders do with their money or how much of a raise they give themselves from time to time. The public should be' primarily concerned with the implica­ tions surrounding the actions of our leaders' hidden agendas. It is a shame Congress cannot vote on its salaries, every year.

VIEWPOINT Union diues Perhaps it will all becom e a part of UT trivia. A ficionados of the U n iversity in the d istant future m ight speak of a m o v e­ ment to build another Union. Building another Union m ight sound like such a foreign concept. In w hat SG V ice President Randy Cooke called a "p o litical span king," the Union referendum failed bv 1,747 votes, or a 47 percent m argin of victory. No ed itorializing is needed. The num bers speak for them selves. It w as a landslide. In this tim e calling for cam paign finance reform , it is refreshing to know big money does not translate to an au to ­ matic win in cam pus elections. The Build the Union C om m it­ tee spent over $3,100, which translates to over $3 for each vote their side received. C onsequently, the referendum was opposed by a unique coalition of students organizations. Student activ ists op p o s­ ing the fee ran the gam ut from conservatives to en v iron m en ­ t a l i s t s , from organizations concerned about the Union film program to org anizations concerned prim arily about cam pus diversity. On t h i s occasion, the grassroots m ovem ent won out over the big money. In d efense of Prescott C aballero and others who are pro- Umon building, a m argin of victory this large suggests it was not the packaging but the issue that failed. It was not that C aballero did not do all he could for the Union, but rather that s t u d e n t s were not very keen on the idea in the first place. Now is apparently not the best time to throw anything resem bling a fee in front of this student body. With new fees w ithin the C ollege of C om m unication, for the new Student Services Building, Gregory Gym and a plethora of various other fees lurching tow ards ratification , students exercised their lim ited power of the purse strings. On its own, the new Union m ovem ent might have su cceed ­ ed. H ow ever, unfortunately for that m ovem ent, we live in a clim ate of ever-escalating fees. Speaking of grassroots m ovem ents and big m oney, there is a p etition on the Internet for those sick and tired of m edioc­ rity in Texas football The petition calls for the heads of both lohn M ackovic and DeL.oss Dodds.

U S i u j q A u C A.<£¡PQA.T NO SUCH TWlA/G AS A FREE DINNER New gun law for protecting children uses ridiculous approach It sounds like a really good idea. And it is a good idea for a perfect world. In Utopialand, everyone who b u y s a gun b u y s it legally and after extensive training. They would never con­ sider entenng a home with a loaded weapon or storing ii near any place where a child could find it But just in case the child were to walk the 10 miles to the gun range where the weapon is stored, borrow a ladder, climb to the top locker, figure out the combination and grab the gun, it would not matter because fixed over the tngger is a handv -dandy safety lock not even a grenade launcher could break through We don't live in Utopialand. Clinton and most L S. gun manufacturers have the wrong idea. While it is noble for these guys to agree to equip newly purchased guns with child safety locks (beginning Nov. I), what is this really K ari H olt__________ TEXAN COLUMNIST going to achieve? Many of the guns out on the street are not legal, therefore they are not eligible for these child safety locks. Many of the families who own guns (legal or not) own them for "safe­ ty purposes" and want them close at hand all the time in case of an intruder. Do Clinton and these gun manufacturers really believe the guns that sleep under pillows at night are going to have locks over their triggers? If the only reason a family has a gun is to protect itself from bad guys, members of that family are going to want quick access to that gun. While dad is struggling to get the lock off, Mr. Bad Guy is not going to stand there and wait for him. But wait! It has recently been proven that most of these safety locks can be removed in seconds — without the key! All it takes is a quick jiggle with a paper clip or a swipe with some sassors and the lock is off, so go dad! The time to be Rambo has arrived. What have these safety locks achieved then? Absolutely nothing. For one thing, most people won't use the locks. For another thing, if they do use a lock, a child can easily remove it with or without the key. You must remember, a child spends his entire day playing with plastic toys. He has developed keen skills in plastic manipu­ lation and that little wimpy lock is coming off if he wants it to. So what are parents to do? If s very simple: Do not own a gun. If mom and dad want to play Rambo, fine. They can go to the local gun range, rent a weapon and play Rambo. If there is a gun in a home, the child will want to play Rambo, too, and we all know by watching the evening news that when a child plays Rambo, someone usually dies. Parents will not keep poisonous household cleaners within reach of their children, they will not let their kids play with toys small enough to choke on — but when it comes to guns, a small plastic safety lock is enough to keep the same child safe? ITs ridiculous. Clinton and the gun manufacturers have suc­ cessfully implemented another Band-Aid approach. Our country is suffering with the gap­ ing wound of children being killed by handguns everyday and our answer is to add worthless gizmos. Perhaps this agreement signifies a move toward really concentrating on how to protect children from the guns that surround them. Maybe we are slowly but surely moving in the right direction. There's no way to find out until the statistics come out for pre-safety locks and post-safety locks. Maybe Clinton and the gun manufacturers can sleep better knowing that beginning Nov. 1 at least most people who buy guns will have a safety lock in the house. But what about the parents whose children will find the gun on Nov. 2? How will they sleep, know­ ing the little plastic lock did not help them one bit? We don't need Band-Aids, we need to abolish guns around children. Only this is the proper step toward eliminating the gaping wound. Hoit is an art history senior. FIRING LINE Herman very wrong In response to Kyle Herman's article, "Church does little to truly help homosexuals." Those damn Catholics, they never do anything right. In a truly monumental advancement in the relations between Catholics and homosex­ uals, all you can do is find fault in it. So they didn't call for same-sex marriages. They did call for equal treatment and love for homosex­ u a l Parents can now' openly express their true feelings with their sons and daughters without the added stigma of viewing homosexuality' as strictly forbidden and inexcusable by the church As for kvle's statement that homosex­ uals will not feel welcome as full members of the church, here is a novel idea: swatch. I do not participate m organizations where I feel uncomfortable or have deep-rooted differences in beliefs and values. Church is a voluntary organization; if you .ire uncomfortable w ith your current organiza­ tion's ideology, it is time to move on. Jamie Haynes Marketing junior Losing wrong 1 have this Texas football proudly w earing D arrell R oyal's signature that my father gave to me. Every tim e I look at it 1 think of all the great coaches out there now like Spurrier, O sbourne, Bow ­ d en and Paterno, it m akes me nauseous to hear my dad tell stories about the glory d ays when he so proudly attended fo o tb a ll gam es as a stu d en t at our beloved U niversity — w hen the words "T exas L onghorns" w ere synonym ous with great football and the four-year record during dad's attendance was 32- 3-1, one of those wins being a national cham pionship. In the last 11 years I have w atched our U niversity's football pro­ gram dw indle into a foul pile of stench not w orthy of being stepped in. A d is­ ease has infected this ath letic program, but unlike some diseases, there is a cure for this one. And the cure has to start at the top. Perhaps my least favorite, and the original cause of all that is wrong, D eLoss D odds needs to v o lu n tarily resign. Any d ecent man would have resigned years ago. For those of you who question my criticism o f Dodds, here is a quote from the Houston Chroni' cle taken Aug. 9, 1996 — "W e're in good shape. Every year we are getting better in football, and we feet we are solid as a rock. We believe we can win a N ational Cham pionship soon ." If Dodds really w anted to win a national title he would have never hired McW'illiams or M ack­ ovic. John M ackovic should have never been a consideration for head coach of the Horns. The PR departm ent has w ast­ ed many valuable dollars trying to con­ vince the public that John is the right m an for the job, getting m edia reporters to claim w hat an "offensive genius" he is. If M ackovic w ere such a great coach he w ould not have an all-tim e record of less than 54 percent wins. John alw ays com es up with the m ost pitiful excuses few our poor perform ance during games. My favorite was the reason for our terri­ ble exhibition at this years' Rice game. He told reporters in his M onday press conference that UT has had recruiting problem s over the last few years and we have been unable to get the players we need and want. W hat a crock! W henever we win, he praises the coaching staff and attributes the win to them and him ­ self. When we lose, he com p lains that it is the players that lost the gam e. D oesn't he realize that when he says the players are no good he is really bashing him self? He recruited them all, and he is su p ­ posed to coach and train them to be p re­ pared for the game. Also, I am sick of hearing how M ackovic m otivates you by it o bv io u sly stim u latin g your m ind; does not work. Let's buy out Jo h n 's con­ tract before it is too late. I know the U n i­ versity has the money, and if they don't, start the "Buy Out John M ackov ic's C on­ tract Fund." I'm sure there are a great deal o f alum ni that would contribu te to such a w orthy cause. John M ackovic was never good, he is not good now and he will never be good, ever. Every college student at one time or another w onders what they will do when they graduate, how they will make enough m oney to support themselves. I have an idea, bet against John Mackovic. Hey, if you had, you'd be 6-0 for the season. N ot bad. Clint Goforth Microbio fogy senior Herman wrong In response to Kyle Herman's commentary "Church does little to truly help homosexuals," Oct 23,1 would like to thank U S Catholic bish­ ops for finally changing their attitude toward our fellow hard-working, tax-paying loving gay Americans of all ages by acknowledging that sexual orientation is independent of one's will to choose. I would like to caution, however, my fellow gay Americans, many of us who are fortunate enough to be engaged in healthy, committed, monogamous relationships, to be wary of U S. Catholic bishops that accept who we are, but not accept what we do in terms of expressing our love to our significant other — whether sexual or otherwise. This new acceptance of our sexual onentation by U S. Catholic bishops is commendable; however, appreciation erf our ability to love is far more important than accepting the fact that sexual orientation is independent of choice — a fact known since the dawn of time. It is appreciation of who we are that will slow, if not stop, those of us who are troubled (many times by issues set forth by the church) from taking our own lives. The question is: How long and how many more deaths will occur until these bishops, as well as m any of our fellow h etero sexu al Am ericans, will appreciate us? H opefu l­ ly less than 2,000 years. H opefully. Bryan Snook Aerospace engineering senior Mackenzie wrong The misconceptions about learning dis­ abilities and the Americans with D isabili­ ties A ct in Mark M cK enzie's colum n "A D A abuse ram pant" do learning-dis­ abled students a disservice. M cK enzie im plies that learning -d is­ abled students wno seek protection under the ADA are abusing it, claiming that "the act was intended to help physically chal­ lenged people, not the pseudo-handi­ capped." The ADA and similar legisla­ tion, however, were intended to protect learning-disabled people and have long been so interpreted. Although McKenzie characterizes dyscalculia (sic) and dys- graphia (sic) as "non sense/' these terms have long been recognized by profession­ als in medicine, psychology and educa­ tion. I was diagnosed with dyscalculia myself over 20 years ago as a sophomore at Harvard. M any learning-disabled people develop alternative strategies to learn, for example using hearing and touch when visual information is confusing. Far from being "lazy fakers," some of us work extra hard in areas that cause us problems. But alter­ native approaches are often tim e-consum­ ing, and untimed exams are hardly a "g ra­ tuitous benefit" if someone needs twice as long as others to read a test question. Attitudes like M cKenzie's should not discourage learning-disabled students from seeking accommodations that allow them to learn to the best of their ability. I was fortunate to have encountered excel­ lent teachers who were willing to work with me instead of the bigotry and igno­ rance expressed in M cKenzie's column and the New Republic article (8 /2 5 /9 7 ) from which he derives much of his infor­ mation. I hope LrT students experience similar good fortune. Sara E Krnbaf Associate Professor Division of Rhetoric and Composition FIRING UNE die benefits it holds for all Americans. First it only recognizes a minuscule proportion erf the disabled community truly possessing disabilities. as Mackenzie only sees people with disr abilities as consisting of those he can see with his own eyes. He fails to con­ sider (and even makes fun of) the mil­ lions of Americans who aren't "wheel­ chair users," "deaf' or "blind," yet still t face challenges posed by a disability. For him, anyone who doesn't fall into one of these three categories is abusing foe ADA. . Mackenzie commits foe fallacy of ad absurdum by attempting to reduce real problems people face to phony jokes in an attempt to argue the validity of what he calls "pseudo-disabilities." Instead, he should research the hard facts about the issue, such as figures concerning success rates of disabled individuals before and after accommodations. Fur­ thermore, he should examine the money spent on these accommoda­ tions in relation to the enormous posi­ tive impact productive disabled indi­ viduals have not only on the economy, but society as well, [rather than] draw­ ing myopic conclusions. Mackenzie's tunnel vision is exem­ plified by his last statement, "The act was intended to help physically chal­ lenged people, not the pseudo-handi­ capped." The disabled to him, "physi­ cally challenged people," are but a small portion of foe disabled commu­ nity. Individuals with learning disabili­ ties, dyslexia, and diabetes are far from "pseudo-handicapped" — they are not "lazy-fakers" as he asserts. Instead of attacking individuals with disabilities and the institutions that protect them Mr. Mackenzie should spend a little time working with them perhaps by volunteering right here at the University in places such as Ser­ vices for Students with Disabilities in the Dean of Students Office. Maybe then he might leam that people with disabilities are just as human as he is. Eric Opiela Government sophomore Viewpoint wrong In foe Oct. 23 Texan, something extremely disturbing caught my atten­ tion. I personally do not support the building of a new student union, but foe "Viewpoint" that was anti-union fee was shoddy, mean-spirited and disr- played foe sloppiest journalism I have ever seen. The Texan, as an institution, cannot "[urge] all students to vote against the new union." Even if the entire Texan staff did oppose foe new union (which I seriously doubt), that statement would have no place in foe newspaper. Admittedly, foe pages on which foe column appeared are the editorial pages, but a column as sloppy as foe "Viewpoint" in question has no place in the paper, unless it is accompanied by a byline. I'm beginning to think that foe writ­ ing staff of The Texan should take their "talent" elsewhere. Perhaps their skills would be better utilized in foe pages of an underground conspiracy-foeorist magazine, or foe "social" column of a junior high-school newspaper. In either case, they could whine, spread rumors and spew all foe literary trash they wanted to. I wish I could call for a full boycott of The Texan, but foaf s already been done. So instead, I am urging all journalism instructors at UT to use The Texan as a shining example of one thing: what future journalists should not strive to be.

Herman really wrong How dare Kyle Herman write such a thoughtless attack on a move by die Catholic Church to be more open and progressive to gays and lesbians? The pastoral letter presented by U S. Catholic bishops represents a move for­ ward by altering very distinct and tra­ ditional views. It is a risky endeavor in particular because it could alienate cur­ rent members of the church while try­ ing to be more open to others. That is why I don't understand how Herman can applaud it one moment and then mock its significance the next. Perhaps because his is an adolescent and petty view. For instance, to broad­ ly state that everyone is a "sexual" being with the exception of a few girls he has dated is a stupid and humorless jab at women for the sake of a cheap laugh. How do his sexual failings fit in with a church statement on being more supportive of gays and lesbians? What is your message, Herman? I suspect the reason you wrote your col­ umn is due to wanting a juicy news item that would include sex and reli­ gion. Well, think harder next time. Think about how the church cannot even apologize for past wrongs with­ out being attacked. For you to say that the church would better spend its time praying for football is an insult to all Catholics and religious leaders. With criticisms and uninformed diatribes like yours out there waiting to happen, why should the Catholic Church or any church for that matter, bother at all? Juliet Dervin RTF freshman Mackenzie very wrong Mark Mackenzie's column in the 10/23/97 issue of The Daily Texan is long on hysteria, and short on logic and common sense.

H alf of the students and staff who parked in the 1,000 spaces can find new p a rk in g e a st of In te rs ta te 35 n e a r Disch-Falk Field, said Dave Kapalko, director of parking and traffic. Hourly and daily parking is also available in sections of the Jester perking garage, he added. There should be enough parking for everyone, he said. "W e've got the spaces to compensate for that loss of parking," he said. Two of the closing parking lots will be replaced with a 1,200-vehicle park­ ing garage to be completed by the end of August 1998, Kapalko said. The con­ stru ction for the new garage, located near East C am pos D rive, starts M on­ day. UT staff members have put up signs and posted fliers on cars parked in the affected lots to alert students that the lots will be closed. Kapalko s^ád the University delayed the closure one week to make the move easier for students. "Students are accustom ed to having to move from those lots by the stadium the midnight before the gam e," he said. The p a rk in g lot by D isch -F a lk is already being used by staff and con­ struction workers, said UT Police Chief Don Cannon. "It v/ill be first com e, first se rv e ," Cannon said. "W e expect it to fill up pretty fast." More use of Lots 113, 114 and 115, n ear D isch -Falk field e ast of C om al Street, will require additional patrols, Cannon said. A total of two officers will look out for theft and other crime in those lots from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m. There will be one officer during other hours, he said. The East Campus Drive parking lots that are closing have one of the highest theft rates on cam pus, Cannon said. UTPD officers are taking precautions to prevent merchandise being stolen from cars in the lots where students m ust now park. S tu d e n ts sh o u ld not w alk in the parking lots by Disch-Falk alone, Can­ non said. He also encourages those stu­ dents not to leave valuable item s in their cars in plain view. He said th e re h a sn 't been a h igh crim e rate at those parking lots, but students have never left their cars there overnight, either. "W e think w e'11 have an increase in attem p ted b u rglaries," Cannon said. "H o p e fu lly w e can p u t a sto p to it before it starts by adding an officer." He said an escort van will also start patrolling the area M onday. The ser­ vice starts at sundown and goes until 2 j a.m. The U n iv e rs ity tried to m ake the parking lots as safe as possible for cars and their ow n ers, C annon said. Thé lots are equipped with better lighting and more emergency phones than the East Campus Drive parking lots. * "T h ere are three to four tim es the number of phones we've got over here on this side of 35 because of the remote location o f the parking lot," Cannon said. Researchers reap $13 million in grants u 1 see several trends in in crea se in te ch n o lo g y and re sea rch funding. the 1997 awards that speak clearly Jennifer Thompson Daily Texan Staff The Texas Higher Education Coordi­ nating Board has awarded the Universi­ ty $13.69 million in research grants.

If the measure passes, H ouston will be the first U.S. city to eliminate affirmative action, and the debate could shift from California to anoth­ er state with a large minority popu­ lation: Texas. “Everybody's eyes are on Hous­ to n ,” said Lenoria W alker, w ho runs the city's program. "If H ous­ ton is overtaken, then that will be a trend for the rest of the state to do the same thing.'' Houston's program, which began in 1984, requires businesses hat win city contracts to try to give 20 percent erf their work to women and minorities. The m easure to en d preferences has received a cooler reception than the one in California, which passed 55 percent to 45 percent. A p o ll re le a s e d O ct. 2 b y th e Houston Chronicle and KHOU-TV said 29 percent of voters want to . abolish tne program and 56 percent w ant to keep it or expand it. The rest were undecided. Four o f the five leading candi­ dates in this fall's mayoral race said they w ould vote against the m ea­ sure. Those four include the tw o front-runners, Republican activist Rob Mosbacher Jr. and Lee Brown, w ho was President Clinton's drug czar and w ould be Houston's first black mayor. The measure w as put on h e ballot by Houston businessman and GOP activist Ed Blum, who last year suc­ cessfully challenged h e creation of severa l co n g ressio n a l d istricts redrawn to favor minorities. “ The foundation of this program is the presum ption that people w ho are African-American, w ho are H is­ panic, or who are w om en are d isad­ v a n ta g e d an d h e e d a special p ro ­ gram in w hich they can com pete, he said. “ It is o u r belief h a t m any of the people w h o are getting con­ tracts from the city are highly suc­ cessful people w ho should be com ­ peting on h e i r ow n.” Legislators in about 20 states have tried in v a in to pass .sim ilar m ea­ sures, said Carl E.

Jo h n so n S chool of P u b lic Affairs, told residents and the City Council in a public hearing Thursday. Wealthy whites may flee to the suburbs if the dty does not expand, Dom said. "Regions that thrive are h o s e h a t w ork together to reduce social, eco­ nom ic and racial seg reg atio n ," he said, adding h a t h e exodus of resi­ d e n ts to th e s u b u rb s c o u ld "k ill long-term economic developm ent.'

The plan, w hich w as announced in Septem ber, will add 9,800 acres and 30,400 new residents to h e city by h e end of h e year. In a series of tense meetings over h e past m onth councilmembers met with residents in each of the 14 areas sched­ uled to be annexed who said they do not want to be a part of h e dty. But T h u rsd a y , C o u n c ilm e m b e r Daryl Slusher said it was time to let citizens in Austin voice h e ir opinion. "T here have been a lot of n a sty things said about h e city of Austin a n d the d ty governm ent," he said. "It's hard for me to sit here night after night and hear this abuse on Austin." M any of the areas annexed will probably be faced w ith higher taxes in h e short run, Frank Sturzl, execu­ tive director of h e Texas M unicipal League, acknow ledged d u rin g the public hearing. But Sturzl said the long-term ben­ efits for h e city and h e region will outw eigh h e short-term costs. "W hen a city cannot gro w ... it ultimately begins to die," Sturzl said. "Cities m ust annex to remain vital." Many of h e Austin residents who spoke also agreed w ith Mayor Kirk W atson, w ho said an n ex atio n will enable h e d ty to expand its tax base. Bettv Edgemond, a South Austin res­ ident, said by annexing, fire dty will be able to better control its own growth.

"M any of h e s e actions have been hastily taken o a and should have been done in a better manner," he said. But Slusher said the city h elp ed many of these areas get started by pay­ ing for certain services if they agreed to be annexed at some future date. For Technology Experts!

OCTOBER 24.1997 UP GLOSE Story by Chip Cheek Photo by Thomas Terry The meaning of life is no mystery to Gerry Van King. The answer lies somewhere in the move­ ment of a star over the 200 block of Sixth StTeet and in the funky sound of a 1965 Fender Jazz bass guitar tuned to A 440. And like all those who have discovered the meaning of life, King — a.k.a. the King of Sixth Street — has learned just how to live it. Simplify and maintain, and maintain with incredible perseverance. Almost every7 night for 10 years, King has played his funky bass guitar on the side­ walks of Sixth Street between San Jacinto Boulevard and Brazos Street, singing "ow !" and "oh yea!" like super-fly James Brown and showing off his bright white teeth through a sunshine smile. He always wears a plastic gold crown and shades with bat­ shaped lenses. In the middle of a song, in the middle of a lyric, he'll greet someone who drifts by. "Shoobidi-doobidi-doo — Hello — di- doobidi-doo " And they'll answer back "K ing!" and maybe drop a dollar in his opened brief case. "You got to say hello to the King," said Frank Prebinski, a golf-shirt-and-khaki market­ ing vice president for an armored truck com­ pany and devoted fan of the King. "Just watch. Thousands of people walk by here every night, and every other one knows the King. That's a sign of perseverance, of knowing precisely what it is he wants to do and of doing it every single day. He has trimmed e v e n thing else from his life except the music, and the only thing he tracks is a star moving from the left to the nght, until at one moment each night it lin e s up with him — star, King, Sixth Street — and everything falls into place. The King wakes up late in a room at the San Jose Motel, where he has lived for two years. He eats. He watches television. And then it's time to get funky. He puts on a black-striped suit, a piece of black cloth over his head he calls a do-rag, endary crown and enough Jovan Musk to scent a 10-foot radius around him. He gets to Sixth Street at eight, begins playing at 8:30 and plays until 11:30 — 1:30 on w eek­ ends. He goes back to his room, watches more television and falls asleep at five in the morning. the leg­ But his life could probably be described in simpler terms. He plays funk on a side­ walk every night except Sunday, and will play there until he wins the Grammy he predicts will one day be his. "For ever how long it takes, I'll keep doing it, ves I will, ves I will,” he sings night after night like a super-funky Energizer Bunny. "N o matter what happens to him in his life, he keeps plaving," said Zach Davis, a friend of King. King keeps playing even after receiving a number of tickets from the police. "H e's not allowed to play his guitar through that amp, said Harold 1 íatt, an Austin walking beat police officer, citing a city ordinance forbidding amplified music. But King is always plugged in to his little Harmony amplifier, an ancient machine held together with tape and hidden in a backpack. And he'll keep doing it. Piatt said King is also not allowed to pan­ handle on public premises. But even though King, without any other work besides play­ ing the funk, has enough money to pay $29 for a motel room every night, he says he doesn't ask for a cent. "I don't make money. Those are 'bless­ ings,'" he said. The King leaves his briefcase open next to him when he pla*ys, and some passers-by drop money into it. So he'll keep doing it. And every night King has to put up with a small number of drunk and inconsiderate fight-mongers in his otherwise happy audi­ ence. But for them, King simply starts play­ ing his song "Funkafied" — "I've just been funkafied; watch me now!" — and the mean people go away. "They think they're all that is when they're walking down the street," he said. But then "they leave because they're scared they're going to like (the funk]." So he'll keep doing it, because nothing else matters. "I don't do petty things," he said. "W hat I realized, this is where I can maintain. I can work, make my ends meet and play my music all at once . . And then I trim the fat. That means I don't be bullshittin'." King has always trimmed the fat or any­ thing that isn't funky. When he talks about his family and child­ hood, he said, "W e're just talking about the guitars" ind "w e leave the women out of it." After all, the women never encouraged him to play the guitar. So his lite story, represented in the guitars he has owned, begins with the toy guitar his daddy, Willy B. King, gave him. King, though bom in Austin, was living in Lincoln, Neb., at the time, when the elder King was stationed in the Air Force. King moved back to Austin when he was about 15, and then Curtis Washington, his stepfather, gave him his first electric guitar In 1969, Marcellus McWilliams, King's biological father — but not his daddy, because "there's a difference between a father and a daddy," he said, — bought King his first bass guitar. In 1974, King enlisted in the Army. "At the time, I was an angry young man and there w as a war going on, so I joined," he s stuff," Indians manager Mike Har­ grove said of Hershiser. He gave no indication.

Currently in the middle of his first campaign at the helm of the No. 9 Longhorns, some would think Moore might not havt established a new identity quite yet. At this time just one short year ago, Moore was himself on the sidelines in Manhattan, Kan., leading conference rival Kansas State to a 26-9 record and its first NCAA tournament appearance in the school's 23-year volleyball history. But times have changed, and when Texas and Kansas State meet Saturday night on Moore's old home floor, he won't be pacing the Wildcat sideline. With Moore's first visit to Aheam Field House since leaving Kansas State for the greener pastures down south in Austin, he knows that his loyalty lies with the orange and white. "I really don't know what to say about it," Moore said. "My home is here raw, but it will definitely be TEXAS VOLLEYBALL interesting. I don't know how 1 will feel until I get there. I have missed them all as peopie a whole lot, but I really like being in first place.' Texas embarks on a two-match road swing this weekend as it closes out the first half of Big 12 conference play against Kansas and Kansas State, And while the majority of the sec­ ond half will be played on Texas' home turf, the Longhorns still have to face the four teams directly below them in the conference standings on the road. “This is the first ot a number of big road matches for us Moore said We play m ostly at home tor the rest of the season, but we have to play the tour teams right below us m conference all on the road. We have to win to keep our lead " After coming off a three-match homestand, Texas extended its win­ ning streak to nine matches, taking control of the Big 12 conference. Orange squad takes Game 1 Daily Texan Staff Freshman Rodney Guerrero took the bull by the horns Thursday by driving in fellow freshman Tim Meadows with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, giving the Orange team a 4-3 victory over the White squad in Game 1 of the annual Fall World Series. TEXAS BASEBALL The Orange team entered the inning down by a run, but Mark Cridland, one of the few remaining lettermen from last year's team, started the rally with a single to left and was bunted over to second. Tun Meadows followed by doubling off the wall to score Cridland and moved to second on a dropped third strike, setting the stage for Guerrero's game-winning RBI. "That was a dutch base hit, it was real dutch, " said Texas head coach Augie Garrido "Two strikes, one ball... & was really nice to see that happen few him." Junior transfer Frank Halter got the win for the Orange squad after relieving starter Beau Hale in the sixth, while freshman Mike Kolbach took the loss after replacing starter Phillip Seibel for die White Each team had only (me error on the day, a sign p M to fi*M 1 «f *« N in M tfS a r iM .

C0L0RAD0-TEXAS ■ W hen: Saturday, 2:30 p.m. ■ W here: Royal-Memorial Stadium _ ■ Records: Texas (3-3 over­ all, 1-2 Big 12); Colorado (3-3 overall, 1-2 Big 12) _________ ■ Radio: KVET-AM (1300.), FM (98,1) ■ TV: KVUE-24 _ ■ QUARTERBACK: Coierado’s'John Hesster hasn’t been play­ ing like Koy Detmer thus ter this season, but Texas' quarterback hasn’t even been playing Ire James Brown. Brown has yet to reach the 200-yard plateau in 1907, and his confidence h alan aLtime low after misfiring on 25 of 40 attempts last week at Mis­ souri. Hesster, meanwhle, has overcome a stow start to pace the Big 12^ second-best passing attack, and he’s become danger­ ous on the option as weB. ■ RUNNING BACKS: T^ey don’t come any easier than this. Ricky Williams is coming off back-to-back 200-yard rushing days and is the only legitimate weapon Texas has. CU’s Marlon Barnes did rush for 126 yards last week, but his not shown any inkling of consistency. ■ WIDE RECEIVERS: Screw Aesop's fables — slow and- steady doesn’t win jack squat in football. And comparing Texas’ thin corps of receivers to CU's throroughbreds is exactly like comparing tortoises to hares. The. Buffs have three verifiable deep threats in Phil Savoy, Darrin Chiaven- ni, and Marcus Stiggers, white the Horns can only hope that the Colorado defense focuses so much on Williams that they leave their receivers all alone. ■ OFFENSIVE LINE: Texas’ Phat Boys did a decent job blocking vs. Missouri, and have shown the potential to dom­ inate a game. Colorado allows almost five sacks per game, so the edge here will lean towards UT. Of course, the way both teams have played of late, it could easily go the other way. Who knows? ■ DEFENSIVE LINE: Colorado ranks 67th in the nation in rushing defense, and they’re still 40 spots ahead of Texas. Shaun Rogers and Cedric Woodard have stepped in admirably for the Horns’ injured tackles, but UT has yet to show any signs of stopping the run. CU’s defensive ends have combined for 7 1/2 sacks this year, led by Nick Ziegler’s 4 1/2. ■ LINEBACKERS: The UT LBs have undergone more facelifts than Liz Taylor this season. Of the three who will start vs. CU (Brandon Nava, Dusty Renfro, and Anthony Hicks) not one is in a position where he began the year. Renfro started ‘97 outside; Nava and Hicks were on the bench. Such is the state of the linebacking corps. Colorado meanwhile, boasts some of the meanest characters this side of Elm Street. Han­ nibal Navies is a nimble, 6-3, 240-pound nightmare who has made 42 tackles (seven for losses) on the year. ■ SECONDARY: Texas’ young defensive backs have shown steady improvement, but last week’s 220-yard pass­ ing effort by Missouri’s Corby Jones may have set them back a few weeks. Colorado has allowed opposing quarter­ backs to complete almost 60 percent of their passes for nearly 150 yards per contest. ■ SPECIAL TEAMS: The sky fell on UT kicker Phil Dawson last week when he missed two FGs, an extra point, and had another PAT blocked, isn’t that one of the seven signs of the apocalypse? Colorado sports one of the best return games in the country, and freshman Ben Kelly is averaging almost 40 yards per KO return, including a 99-yarder for a TD. ■ COACHING: John Mackovic isn't winning many popularity contests in Austin these days, mainly because he's been out- coached by the likes of Bob Toledo, Bob Simmons, and Larry Smith this year. With Williams averaging 10 yards a carry last week at Mizzou, Mackovic handed him the ball only 10 times in the second half. Rick Neuheisel hasn’t exactly had a stel­ lar season either, but at least he recognizes his team strengths and sticks with them.

"Logic says that we have to con­ centrate on Kansas State more because they are 5-3 w hile Kansas is 1-7," Moore said. "But we still have to take care of business on both days." This has been one of the longest weeks of the season for Texas, as Sat­ urday's contest w ith Kansas State w ill be the team 's fifth in nine days. Texas is coming off a 3-1 victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, a rare mid-week non-conference match. 'Talm ost feel like the Notre Dame match never existed," M oore said. "It is a little tough to play that quick­ ly after the weekend. But right now we need to take care of the tasks at hand — conference matches."

WOMENS SWIMMING "I feel real good about our chances at the Big 12 Invitational,' diving coach Matt Scoggin said. "It is early in the year, i so not everyone is in their top form. That is the ' case for most universities right now." ; The Longhorns did not have as much suc- ‘ cess as they would have liked in last year's < inaugural Big 12 relays in St. Louis. Two Long- I hom relays were disqualified, dropping Texas • to second behind Nebraska, 51-50. "This meet is so weird because they all are • relays," swimming coach Jill Sterkel said. "The 44 We lost the first Big 12, now we want it back real bad.” — tM H rta rtv Oum depth really shows up. It will be a tough contest for us and we have to be ready to be tough back.” Even though it's still early in h e year, he Longhorns have set high expectations on team and individual levels. Senior Darby Chang, an eight-time all- American, said she hopes h e team can revive last year's wounded season and win the Big 12 championship. "We lost the first Big 12, now we want it back really bad," Chang said. "We have really come togeher this year as a team." The swimming team also hopes to do better than its 10th-place finish last year in h e NCAA championship. Between fourth and eighth place would be a good goal, Sterkel said. "I think we are fully capable of hat, and as a team we would like to have an overall GPA of 3.0 or better," he said. If h e diving team can stay healthy, it will be in great shape for h e rest of h e season, Scog­ gin said. What can we expect from h e team for h e rest of h e 1997-98 season? "We do not have a lot of depth this year and that is a little hard," Sterkel said. "I would have to say” our biggest strength is probably h e freestyle event, especially h e 50“ through h e 200." i tVirrc> votaranc in The Longhorns returned three veterans in h e sprint freestyle events: senior Tammie Spatz, junior Erin Maher and sophomore Courtney Allen. Spatz and Maher are expected to be main contenders in h e 50 and 100 freestyles. Spatz, a three-time qualifier for h e NCAAs, is also expected to be one of h e Longhorns' top scor­ ers. Allen's strong performance last year is also expected to continue into this season. Among h e h e Longhorns' top returnees are 1997 NCAA Diver of h e Year Vera Ilyina and 1997 NCAA platform champion Laura Wilkin­ son. liyina won h e one-meter and three-meter springboard titles. Sophomore Kerrie Pres- grove, an honorable mention all-American, is also expected to be a strong competitor. "I think that it's going to be a good year," Presgrove said. "I know h e diving team is going to come out number one.' Although h e Longhorns have a competitive rlass rptumine. the deuth of talent in women' class returning, h e depth of talent in women's swimming and diving is greater than it was last year. " "There was a large number of [diving recruits] h at were at [an] elite level that came out of high school last year," Scoggin said. With h e team coming off a disappointing end to last season, the seniors' leadership skills have prevailed, bringing h e team togeher for h e start of a new season. "We have five seniors this year and we all made a pact at h e end of last year h at we were going to get h e team togeher and make it h e best we could," Chang said. The team will have h e opportunity to see how competitive its season will be as it enters * the Big 12 showdown on Friday night. "This weekend will be a great measuring stick to find out how we §tack up against h e Big 12 schools," Sterkel said. Last home game stirs emotions in UT seniors Sam Gordon Daily Texan Staff WOMEN S SOCCER The Texas women's soccer team will be playing for more h a n just a notch in h e win column when they roll out h e welcome mats for Colorado and Wisconsin this weekend at the Denius Athletic Field. Not only will h e Horns be playing for a leg up in the Big 12 tournament with the con­ clusion of conference play in front of the herds of Longhorn parents expected to turn out for parents weekend, but for h e eight Longhorn seniors who will be playing on UT soil for the last time. Friday's 7 p.m. matchup against Colorado and Sunday's 1 p.m. showdown with Wiscon­ sin will mark the Horns' final regular season home games. The matches are held with spe­ cial significance because for h e first time, h e young Texas women's soccer program will have a graduating senior class. "I feel proud to have been h e first team to ever be at UT and gone through all four years, senior midfielder Candace Watkins said. At h e close of possibly h e Horns' best season, the team will lose eight girls who helped build h e foundation of UTs women's soccer program. "I feel happy and sad, so I'm kind of tom, Watkins said. "I'll probably cry, but that's OK. "Hopefully we'll win so it won't be that bad." One departing Horn, senior goalkeeper Jaime Strong, spent four years knocking down shots in front of a Longhorn net setting records for future Homs to shoot for. Leading up to this weekend,s play, Strong set a 16 career shutout mark, racked up 473 saves, had 5,504 minutes of playing time and a 1.52 career goals-against average, all UT records. "I think it's sad because it just seems like it started yesterday," Strong said. "It seems like we were just freshmen here." All-time scorer Carol Finch is another senior asset h e Homs will miss. She leads h e team with 24 career goals and 17 assists, all earned in only three years at UT after transferring from Maryland after her freshman year. "I'm sad. It's hard to talk about, Fin ch said . " I t 's going to be w eird being separated from it." Defender Sarah Trombley, forward Crystal Oswalt and midfielders Katie Cole, Kim Cameron and Aimee DePaulo are h e remain­ ing seniors that have helped build the Texas women's soccer program up from square one. The seniors will be recognized along with h eir parents prior to h e Wisconsin match Sunday. Although sights have been set' on the seniors h is weekend, not all focus has been diverted from improving the Homs, 7-7-0 overall record (6-3-0 Big 12). "We're coming off a three game losing streak and we want to get back on h e winning side, " Texas head coach Dang Pibulvech said. After dropping two games to No. 3 Port­ land and No. 7 Santa Clara in a trip to the West Coast last week, h e Homs want to set a good tone for h e upcoming Big 12 tourna­ ment, Pibulvech said. Texas is currently ranked fourth in h e Big 12 behind A&M, Baylor and Nebraska. With Colorado in fifth, Friday's game will deter­ mine who sits in fourth among h e six com­ peting schools at h e tournament. Placement in h e brackets, however, is not a big concern to Pibulvech. "I have a funny feeling h a t no matter who wins this match," Pibulvech said, "it's going to be a rematch in h e first round of h e con­ ference tournament." The Buffaloes are not going to leave Austin without a fight, however. The Homs had trouble tackling h em in Colorado last year, pulling out a 1-0 victory in overtime. "I think it's a pretty big rivalry," Finch said. "I really think they want to beat us pretty bad." And riding h e wave of h eir best season ever, h e Homs are confident. "I think we can come out with two wins definitely," Strong said. "If we just play like we know how to play." Marlins Continued from page 9 priced free agents signed by h e Marlins, was not done after his third homer of h e Series. He sin­ gled and scored in h e eighth and got his fourth RBI of h e night and ninth in five games with another single in he ninth. "They kept throwing me a lot of sliders and I kept chasing hem," Alou said. "I missed h e first pitch, he hung me a slider. Then I got to 2- 1, he hung me another slider and I took advantage." Hernandez looked lost early, pawing at h e mound and seeming­ ly distracted by h e Indians' tactics of stepping in and out of h e bat­ ter's box. Alomar's four RBIs gave him 10 in five games and put Cleve­ land ahead 4-2 after three innings. But bolstered by repeated encouragement from his team­ mates, Hernandez calmed down. The MVP of h e NL championship series allowed only three hits after the third inning. "I had [pitching coach] Larry Rothschild and every Spanish­ speaking guy on the team talk to him to make sure — 'Don't lose your cool, settle down, we're going to score some runs, just keep it right here,'" Leyland said. Hernandez overcame "I don't know which one it was, but one of hem hit home," he said. eight walks. The Cuban defector had a whole country following him as U.S. Government-run Radio and TV Marti broadcast h e game to the communist island. Friends of his mother, Miriam Carreras, said she was not feeling well but had listened to h e game on h e radio. "When I get out here, I can't real­ ly think about her," Hernandez said through a translator. "I think about her before and after h e game. I take her out here with me." Marlin Moisés Alou, left gestures as he approaches the dugout after his sixth-inning home run. ASSO C IATED PRESS Orange-White: Texas stressing defense in Series Continued from page 9 that defense has been a high priority for Garrido during fail practice. Though the '97 Horns were a suspect defensive team, the new faces and extra work have already begun to show in the field. "We've spent more time on defense than we have on offense so far, and I think it showed up in the game. We were pretty consistent defensively," Garrido said. Highlighting h e Horns' emphasis on solid defense was an outstanding diving catch by freshman right fielder Matt Rosenberg to rob Brian Ivy of a base hit in h e fourth inning. "That was terrific. I was looking for the center fielder to see if he was going to catch it. When I realized he wasn t going to, I thought it was going to fall in for sure, but he [Rosenberg] came out of nowhere. It was a great play, Garrido said. The White team jumped out early in the top of the first inning when Jason Moore scored from third while Matt Simpson was caught in a rundown between second and third. After the Orange went quietly in the bottom of the first, the White team struck again when Jason Cox scored from third on a Carlos Sepulveda single up the middle to make the score 2-0. The Orange made its first dent in the bottom half of the second on the virtues of well-executed hitting. Cndland led off the inning with a walk and was able to advance to third with the hit-and-run on. Ivy then came to the plate and knocked in Cridland from third on a grounder to the second baseman. But with a man on third and one out, Seibel was able to settle down and get out of the inning by book- ending a walk with a ground out and a fly out to right. Both teams went quietly in the third, but each team put a run on the board in the fourth to make the score 3-2, which is where the score would remain until the seventh. Garrido's assessment of his team was] positive after the group's first 18 days; of fall practice, and the emphasis will be placed firmly on fundamentals fo r the remainder of the Fall Series. they've retained, and "What I am pleased with so far is« what they have had a chance to work on, they've learned, and they've improved," Garri­ do said. "And if that holds true, that'll give us a chance to be competitive." The White squad will look to geti back at their Orange counterparts Fri- J day when the squads meet again for Game 2 of the Fall World Series, which is free to the public and begins at 3:15 p.m. at Disch-Falk Field.

O ur van was screwing up and that [last] show was going to add like 1800 miles of driving. W e had ju st fin is h e d r e c o r d in g our album and we were just tour­ ing back across.'' T h a t re co rd , T on e Soul E v o l u ­ tion, is o u t n o w an d g a r n e r i n g praise, like their past releases, for its acco m plish ed pop c raftsm an ­ ship.

Hill elaborates, “We wanted to strip it down a little bit, make it rock a little more. Maybe not add live music APPLES IN STEREO Wh«n: Friday, Oct 24 Playing a t Electric Lounge as m uch of the weird things like sy nth esizers. We also w anted to make as hi a fi record as we could without it sounding slick." To that end, the band laid down the basic tracks for the record in a s t u d io p r o f e s s i o n a l 2 4 - t r a c k b e f o r e t i n k e r i n g w it h th e m at S c h n e i d e r ' s h o m e s t u d i o . T h e result is a clean-sounding record­ ing w ith ou t sickly stu d io sheen. Bopping along, the band is fairly clear about its love for '60s pop, from the fuzzy guitar to the full b a n d h a r m o n i e s to th e h a p p y organ sprinkled throughout. “ I t ' s r e a ll y j u s t r o c k , ” H ill e x p l a i n s . " W e ' r e j u s t tr y in g to t a k e a l i t t l e b i t fr o m all o u r fav o rite ban d s and w ith 30 p e r­ cent of our favorite things, add 70 p e rc e n t of o u rs e lv e s . We re not trying to be retro in any way. But it's com ing th ro u g h and even to the average m ainstream listener, w e s o u n d li k e th e B e a t l e s or so m eth in g . T h at s fine w ith us. People seem to like that." The Apples in Stereo have been touring since Septem ber and the rig o rs of th e ro a d ca n g et to a band, but this crew keeps th e ir heads up even in the face of bore­ dom. " N i n e t y pe rce n t of b ein g in a band is driving or ju st w aiting." r e l a t e s u n g l a m o r o u s l y . H ill “While we're in the van, just sleep or read. We like to, once when we get to a city, to run around a bit. It's a lot of fun. We always try to have a lot of fun. We see a lot of bands who don't have much fun." To stay sane, the ban d prefers to keep the intrusion of music at a minimum. Hill swears, "W e d o n 't listen to much music on the road. We hear bands every night, so it's nice to just go down the road in silence. Ju st sta re at the ro ad and plow down the highway." Unfortunately, when they come to Austin there may not be any of the k ey board and organ playing fe a tu re d on Tone Soul E volu tion that bu b b le s under the songs on the record. “W e did ju s t add a k e y b o a r d player to play keyboards, synthe­ sizer, percussion and any kind of e x tra stuff live, but he w o n 't be with us in Austin because he's in graduate school. W e should pick up a couple of those guys [from Olivia Trem or Control, one of the opening bands]; th ey 've got like seven or eight guys on the road with them ." J o h n H i l l h a s a w a r n i n g fo r Austin about a trend he witnessed when the Apples in Stereo opened fo r So n V o l t fo r tw o w e e k s o f dates at the beginning of the tour. "W ith S o n V olt ... it 's kind of f u n n y w h e n y o u p la y b i g g e r shows like that. In general they're e a r ly in f a ir l y b ig c l u b s , " H ill explains.

Also helping to give definition to Subarachnoid Space as a band, rather than a m achine, which is what projects such as Stars of the Lid and M ain h a v e com e to sound like, is the tem po, which changes from track to track. At times, Subarachnoid Space all but breaks out into a full tribal jam, while still maintaining the sooth­ ing vertical flow of the guitars. The tones which emanate from the guitars áre very captivating even left alone, if ultimately a bit bland. But add the mixed percus­ sion, and- ymr su d d en ly have a surprisingly simple, yet wonder­ ful treat. If th is band w ere a b o w l of sp ic y black b ean s, the gu itars w o u ld be the b ean s and the drums the spice. Of course, I see this album more along the lines of a cup of fru ity y o g u rt, or something equally relaxing. Actually, it may also take a few spoonfuls of Ny-Q uil to g et the fu ll e ffec t.

Gattaca, a stylish film from first-tim e direc­ to r A n d re w N iccol, fo re c a sts an upsetting future based on scientific advances in genetics. But Gattaca is not just a new tech­ n o -th rille r in th e v e in of M ichael C rich to n . Like O rw e ll's 1984 a n d H uxley's Brave New World, Gattaca is the story of an individual trying to find his place in society. C om bin­ ing a beautifully w ritten narrativ e w ith arresting visuals, Gattaca suc­ ceeds as a captivating portrayal of th e stru g g le of a n o rd in a ry m a n against forces beyond his control. In a w o rld in w hich m o st ch il­ d ren are constructed in petri dishes from genetic traits selected by their p a re n ts , V in cen t (E th a n H a w k e ) has a d istin ct disadv an tag e.

U niform s resem ble suits from the 1940s, cars look like refinished clas­ sics and buildings reflect the great m ovem ents in 20th century arch i­ tecture. As a centerpiece, the M arin C ounty Civic Center, designed by Frank Lloyd W right, serves as the Gattaca Corporation building in the film. Niccol resisted creating a future rem ark ab ly foreign from the p re ­ s e n t b e c a u se th e film h in g e s o n sim ilarities. The fu tu ristic settin g serves m ainly to present a unique situ atio n essential to the film: the p o ssib le im p lic a tio n s o f g e n e tic e n g in e e rin g . T he film re fu se s to pass judgm ent on the issue, letting th e a u d ie n c e d ecid e w h ile en ter- taining us w ith a possible outcome. Similar to the vision of the future Francois T ru ffa u t p re se n ts in th e film F ahrenheit 451, th e f u tu r e depicted in Gattaca is sleek, efficient and heavily stylized. The illusion is com pleted by the stunning cam era w o rk of S la w o m ir Idziak, w h o se use of filters an d lighting gives the film a distinctive look that m atches Vincent's optim ism .

Because if they do, they m ight pass out and sleep right through this week­ end's Beeblefest at Stubb's Bar-B-Q. The first annual Beeblefest, head­ lined by the Gourds, takes place from 3 p.m. until rrudrught Saturday on the Stubb's outdoor stage.

Through s u p p o rt serv ices a n d co u n selin g , S.I.MS. promotes the emotional well­ being of members of the Austin music community. Beebie-goers will hear not only the hick stvlings of the headliners, but also the soulfully g ritty voice and dusty, laid-back delivery of Jon Dee Graham, the loud 'n ' twangy noise of The Damnations, and The Diaz Broth­ ers.

Eugene can be pathetic at tim es, th o u g h h e possesses a su r­ prising strength that seems to have grow n from his handicap. Posing as Jerom e M orrow , V in­ cent quickly dem onstrates his high level of potential and is selected as one of th e crew m em b ers o n th e n e x t sp a c e m is s io n . Ju st w h e n everything seem s to be going right, the director of the space m ission is m u rd e re d d a y s before the sch ed ­ uled launch. The only piece of evi­ dence can be genetically traced to Vincent. Assigned to 'th e case, Irene (Uma T h u rm an ) fin d s h erself d ra w n to "Jerome" in the course of the inves­ tigation. In a relationship character­ ized by the coldness of their en v i­ ronm ent, V incent an d Irene seem distant even as com panions. Their love springs from a need for hum an contact in a w orld where it is virtu ­ ally impossible. / Though the elem ents of m ystery a n d ro m an ce d ra w th e a u d ie n c e fu rth e r in to th e story, th e ir p re s­ ence so m etim es p ro v id e s ja rrin g interruptions in the film's flow.

Instead, it shied away from a deeper look at the psychological issues for the quick thrill of a m u r­ der mystery. All things considered, Gattaca is a refreshingly unique film that even­ tu a lly re so rts to p re d ic ta b le e le ­ m ents that w ater dow n the story's effectiveness. T h o u g h th e film is w ell-crafted a n d extrem ely e n te r­ taining, it is easy to see that Niccol is capable of delivering m uch more. The Gourds and Stubb’s present the first annual Beeblefest Saturday music, not counting the big jam that's supposed to happen indoors when the clock strikes a dozen And oh yeah, I suspect there will also be barbecue involved. I can already feel that good kinda hurt in the ol' belly. So don't give yourself an easy exctlie for the Piss & Moan Blues. Strap on tíre barbecue gut, dust off the shit-kickers and get ready to twang 'til your heart's content. If for no other reason, do it for the beer. To help winners, VH1 trophies lose weight ■ NEW YORK — The VH1 Fashion Aw ards w o n 't be much of a w orkout for waif w inners and celebrity presenters now that hefty, solid- b ra s s trophies have been replaced w ith a bogus, lighter version. The last thing the music channel wants to do is give Mariah C arey, Donna Karan or L inda Evangelista back tro u b le when they hand out awards Friday night, so organizers decid ed to truck the real, 11.4-pound prizes to recipients the next day, The Wall Street Jour­ nal reported Thursday. "It's heavier than a fashion model," com­ plained Gabe Doppelt, creative director for the show. "We were afraid the first thing out of everyone's mouth would be how heavy the award was, rather than something witty." The 1-foot-tall, sleek, skyscraper-looking trophy was designed by Tom Ford of Gucci. A 3-pound aluminum replica w ill be substi­ tuted. A different designer creates the awards each year. Doppelt said Ford's drawings seem ed reasonable enough. Last summer, Ford deliv­ ered a prototype and VH1 officials were stunned: They needed two hands to lift it. Friend says JFK Jr. injury caused by doing dishes ■ NEW YORK — How did the hunk hurt his hand? NOT fighting with his wife, a friend of John F. Kennedy Jr. told the New York Post. Contrary to tabloid reports, Kennedy cut his right hand doing the d ish es, said the friend, w ho w asn't identified in Wednes­ day's newspaper. “He's telling family and friends wh^t real­ ly happened because the w n ole thing — you should excuse the phrase — has gotten out of h and ,'' the friend said. Kennedy and wife Carolyn Bessette were shar- ing a quiet dinner at home before he left on a week-long trip to India earlier this month. He cut his hand while dearang the dishes after dinner. He wrapped the wound himself and left for India the next day without seeking treatment. The hand began bothering him during the trip and he underwent minor nerve surgery when he got home. He is expected to make a full recovery. Weed keeps Estes from performing in Iowa DES MOINES, Iowa — Simon Estes isn't allergic to Iowa. It's the ragweed that keeps forcing him to cancel concerts. The bass-baritone said W ednesday night that severe allergies to ragweed first encoun­ tered during a Sept. 16 concert in Iowa City seemed to clear up when he left his native state and sang in Europe. He returned this week for performances around Iowa, but his voice gave him problems again. He checked with four doctors and the cul­ prit was the same each time: ragweed. Estes said doctors assured him there's noth­ ing wrong with his voice. They told him he needs to take a rest and get out of Iowa until frost tatos care of the ragweed pollen. — CotnpUed from Associated Press reports Nisi.
