S e e Focus, Pago 8 in hiring Proposal passed by Faculty Council mould give colleges three options for involving students in hiring new faculty By Ryan D. Pittman Daily Texan Staff After more than two months of debate, the Faculty Council approved a plan Monday that would increase student involvement in the fac­ ulty hiring process. ; The plan, proposed by Faculty Council stu­ dent representative Katy Zarolia, gives each UT ■college three options for including students in hiring decisions—by having each candidate for a position give a lecture or research seminar to Students, giving each candidate the chance to eat lunch with a group of students, or including a * student representative on foe faculty selection committee. The colleges must select at least one of foe options, but may choose which and how many of foe measures students will participate in to study potential faculty. Zarolia said she is “very pleased" that the pro­ posal was approved, especially after it was fabled at foe council's February meeting and stalled during foe March meeting, when several members of foe Faculty Council left early and a quorum was not present to vote on foe plan. "It's been a long process," said Zarolia, a man­ agement information systems senior said. 'Tm very glad this has passed, and students will now . .i. . __ have more input into picking the people that are ultimately providing foeir education." i UT president Larry Faulkner must give final approval to the plan before it would go into affect. The plan originated last fall in foe Cabinet of College Councils, of which Zarolia was fire chairwoman at foe time. Zarolia said more student involvement in foe faculty selection process will help prevent some of the faculty hiring conflicts the University has seen in foe past few years such as those in foe A sian -American studies and the Arab studies programs. «riA7~i u„i:—„ *.u~* «.Lo chirlante [We] believe that foe students of the University will be able to assist in lending a unique perspective to foe selection process in regards to foe focus of recruiting diverse faculty whose backgrounds represent those of our stu­ dent population," Zarolia said. "Through foe college councils' involvement in faculty hiring ... we hope to reemphasize foe importance of foe classroom in faculty service." Students in foe Asian-American and Arab studies programs felt more student input in hir­ ing decisions for future faculty could have ulti­ mately strengthened the program. Conflict over faculty hirings in the Asian- fVip Ampriran Studies D io cra m came to a head American Studies program came to a head in May 1999, when 10 students were arrested dur­ ing a sit-in at the West Mall Office Building. The sit-in began when students— who were protest­ ing a decision by then-interim Liberal Arts Dean Judith Langlois not to hire tibe controversial can­ didate chosen by the hiring committee to become the program's director — went to meet with Langlois regarding her decision, and she wasn't in her office. The Faculty Council also approved a plan that would grant tuition remission for graduate research assistants. S m COUNCIL, Pmgm 2 Pro-choice group kicks off counter-display Group erects signs at Gregory Gym in response to controversial anti-abortion protest By Eric Garza Daily Texan Staff In response to Justice For All's anti-abortion exhibit displayed in front of Gregory Gymnasium in February, mem­ bers of Action for Abortion Rights, a pro-clhoice student organization, set up a pro-choice display Monday in the same location. "We wanted to dispel some of the myths in JFA's display," said Jenny Hixon, co-founder of Action for Abortion Rights. "People need to understand that that is not what abortion rights is about. We thought it was im portant for the campus to get the other side." Hixon said the display evoked a more "grass roots" answer to the Justice For All exhibit. The seven signs that were erected were constructed crudely from plywood and were hand painted. Any information posted was held up by staples and tape. Money for the display was donated direct­ ly from individual donations, Action for A bortion Rights mem bers and other pro-choice organizations. The JFA exhibit stirred controversy Feb. 19-22 when it displayed 18-foot photos of aborted fetuses and other graphic images. "We didn't have time to raise money," Hixon said.

Luckily for foe countless UT students, legislators and other Austinites who sought her wisdom, Hippie decided to stick with foe fortune-telling business after that fateful first session, eventually becoming Austin's best known and most respected clairvoyant.

The Longhorns hadn't won a game at College Station since 1923. According to her son Donald Q. Hippie, Madame Hippie heard foe students asking people where they could find a fortune-teller.

She began her fortune telling career in 1941 when several UT football fans asked her what they could do to beat the Texas A&M Aggies later that week. She told them to bum red candles. They did, and the Longhorns beat the Aggies 23-0, snapping a 18-year-old losing streak at Kyle Field in College Station. Burning red candles before the A&M game has been a tradition ever since.

The elevator's engine was the only proper- damaged, and Austin Fire Department firia ls estimate it will cost the University 0,000 to repair Austin Fire Department Spokesman arcus Faske said a UT police officer noticed ioke creeping out of a fifth floor window ound 6 p m and went up to inspect the use.

It could have been a belt that burned up or a bearing that went out, Faske said. "It was just a freak accident," Faske said. Steven Kraal, associate vice president for plant management, said all UT elevators are inspected annually in compliance with state laws. He didn't know ekactly how old tire eleva­ tor was but said UT officials "comply with those laws very strictly" and employ a spe­ cial elevator inspection crew. "Luckily/' Faske said, "we did not have to worry about evacuation. It was done by tire time we got here." No injuries were reported and everyone evacuated in time to avoid smoke inhalation. Very few people were in the building at the time of the fire and ro or» had been using the elevafoi; Faske said. A few people waited nearthe Tbwes watching smoke gather in the hallway through tire doors that were opened to ventilate the building. Though hoses were dragged upstairs, fire­ fighters managed to vanquish foe fire with two fire extinguishers and in a quick manner, Faske said. To rid ti» building of smoke, "Smoke- buster/' a forty-foot red, worm-like tube with a Volkswagen engine and propeller-like props, blew 3,000 cubic feet erf pressure through Hogg. Fire fighters broke a few windows and opened a few doors to ventilate the building, which did not have a roof ventilation system, Faske said, adding that while some windows must be broken, doing so to too many would cause "Smoke-buster" to fail. This contraption is only used for large buildings with poor ventilation, while house fires would not require such a hefty device. Employees will be able to resume working in the building tomorrow, Faske said. & - i “/ r ’ !

Nissen navigates through the mud flats in his little boat to bring tetters over the North Sea from the town of Schluettsiel on the mainland. Food, however, comes wily one» or twice a week. And in winter, not at all. Residents have to stock up enough pro­ visions to get them through several months when no delivery ship can reach them. The “Halligen" are an . exceptional feature in the German Wadden Sea — 10 small islands without dikes that flood 20 to 30 times a year during spring tides and storms. At such times, only “warften” — small manmade hills on which the houses are built — rise above the water. Each house is equipped with a shelter on the upper floor that is supported by con­ crete columns anchored deep in the ground and designed to remain standing even if the rest of the building is washed away. With only 15 inhabi­ tants, Groede is Germany’s smallest community. The six families live in four houses, with a school and a church — all on two warften that rise up from the 684-acre island. Christine Fleeth, the teacher, has only two pupils, the Mommsen brothers. When it comes time for secondary school, Erik and Tade, ages 8 and 12, will have to leave Groede for the mainland. There is even a lit­ tle tourism. Vacationers seek­ ing quiet and seclu­ sion can stay with the Mommsen or the Petersen families and spend a relaxing time in their holiday apart­ ments. By The Associated Press Anti-abortion group alleges new display violates rules GROUP, from 1 its display. We wanted to be a rapid-response group." * Displays at the exhibit included inform a­ tion on abortion laws, answers to questions about abortions and a section in which stu­ dents were allowed to write why they were pro-choice advocates. "They went with a less graphic point of view," said Jeremy Schneider, a government sophomore. "JFA tried to hit on sensitivity; it's a little more subtle. This tries to get you thinking instead of just hitting your emo­ tions." But Jeremy Alder, president of Justice For All, said while photos in Justice For A ll's dis­ play may have been graphic, they were effec­ tive in getting their message across. "If the question is 'w ere the photos graph­ ic?"' said Alder. "Yes, they were. But every one of those photos is a depiction of that choice. I'm glad that they're here and inter­ ested in a rational dialogue about ábortion." Some students still question the manner in which the anti-abortion group decided to pursue its message. "I think this is more effective because it does not use propaganda such as blatant im ages," said Sarah Weiss, a psychology freshman. "I didn't even read the other because it was so offensive. There was no reason to put stuff like that up. I was turned off by the whole thing."' Questions were also raised by Justice For All about the censoring of some material by the University. According to UT regulations, student organization displays are not allowed co-sponsorship by any off-cam pus organization. JFA was asked to black out con­ tact numbers and Web sites of the national chapter of Justice For All and the phone number of a hotline for women with crisis pregnancies in their brochures and display. Jam es Vick, vice president for student affairs, said the University did not censor any material but only asked the organization to conform to UT regulations. Justice For All members questioned some of the contact information displayed on the Action for Abortion Rights display, saying contact information was posted for Planned Parenthood, an offacampus nonprofit group, on a poster advertising the Em ergency Action for Women's Rights march later this month. "It's bad policy because they're censoring vital information for people to check out," said Justice For All member Denise Jones. "To say we were soliciting information is ludicrous. They didn't feel it was solicitation when the experimental music bus was out there with Microsoft.com all over it. They're enforcing bad policy only on us." The Electric Bus, a traveling museum of popular music, was parked on campus in early March. Hixon said Action for Abortion Rights has not been asked to remove any material from its display. "We reserved the space from Cam pus Community Involvem ent,"she said. "We knew we couldn't put up anything that has a national Web site. They just asked what would be displayed and also asked for a copy of the design."

Under the TSP handbook, the managing editor must meet more requirements than the editor-in- chief, who, despite having "final say," rarely exer­ cises that power and primarily oversees the opin­ ion page and handles public relations. The managing editor, who is appointed by the TSP Board, oversees news content, budgets, most staff hirings and all sections of the newspaper except the opinion section. Becáuse both the managing editor and the editor are considered the heads of the paper, confusion occurs among staff members as to who actually runs the newspaper; said T he D aily Texan Editor Cecily Sailer. Sailer said under an appointed-editor process, the editor would have a wider range of duties and select the managing editor, who would share in managerial responsibilities. - "I ran for editor but didn't have an oppdnent," Sailer said. "If I had an opponent, I may not have run for office because I would have to leave T he Texan for the two weeks of campaigning and because of the money I would have to spend to run a campaign." In two of the last five elections, the editor candi­ dates have gone unopposed. "The first priority is to be a qualified journalist, and a politician a distant second," said Griff Singer, journalism lecturer and Texan alumnus. "A lot of qualified journalists are reluctant to seek editorship because they don't want to be a politician." Editor-elect, Marshall Maher, compared the cur­ rent election process to an election of a statewide judge. "It's just like Texas judges who are supposed to be objective yet must depend on groups to get them elected," Maher said. "And those groups usually expect something in return." The proposal's opponents said it would decrease student representation and allow for possible administrative influence. Michael Hoffman, a member-elect of the TSP Board, proposed an alternative that would call for the election of an opinion page editor and an appointment of the editor-in-chief — a proposal he said addresses the advantages and disadvantages of the current system. Lawrence said while Hoffman's alternative pro­ posal presents workable solutions, she foresees problems in which the opinion page staff would work independent of the rest of the staff, causing communication problems. "Just the idea that you would elect the CEO of a newspaper — a paper with a $3 million budget, that is a responsibility that requires expertise in a pretty large arena and the ideas and actions of the C EO *affect the stability of the newspaper/ LaVYrence said. "And I'm not sure that voters have the opportunity to understand those effects or to understand how die paper functions." Lawrence added that because six of 11 voting TSP Board members are students, the student body has die power to elect individuals who can make a more informed decision. The other 5 voting mem­ bers, who are appointed by UT President Larry Faulkner, include three UT professors and two media professionals. The board functions under a majority-rule vote. "I have no opinion — this, in my judgment, is fundamentally a student issue and should be left up to the students and the TSP Board to decide," said Faulkner, who receives nominations for TSP appointments from James Vick, vice president of student affairs. Vick said he generally favors elected representa­ tives but is willing to consider arguments for alter­ natives. "This is a delicate area because freedom of speech and freedom of the press are highly valued on our campus, so we want to make sure we main­ tain the independence of the press and the quality of the paper," said Vick, who feels he should not use his influence in the board's decision. "I'd want to be very careful in making changes to maintain that quality." While Hoffman said he doesn't fear that Faulkner and the TSP Board are trying to manipu­ late T he Texan, he said students must be "vigilant" about the issue due to the uncertainty of actions of future presidents, cnancellors and the UT System Board of Regents. Hoffman expressed concern that the board would make a nasty decision without appropriate . student input. "I recognize the interests of T he D aily Texan staff but they are not foe' only stakeholders," said Hoffman, who was a non-voting member of the TSP Board representing former SG President Daron Roberts, "A lot of people think that the editor is the most important item on the student election ballot because the editor has such a wide audience,'Thirty thousand students, faculty and administrators read T he Texan everyday." Emphasizing the editor's responsibility as a stu­ dent representative, Hoffman said SG representa­ tive influence is not as apparent as that of the Texan editor. "I think the board does a good job of being some­ one who is objective of the conscience of the news­ paper," Hoffman said. "But I think the best person to be the advocate for the students and know their wants is the students themselves." About 5,000 UT students voted in*the SG elec­ tions, 1,890 of which voted for T he D aily Texan edi- tor. T he D aily Texan has and will continue to run one column a week on the issue,1 is running proposals, for system changes today and is setting up an e- mail account for student response. "I think that when you propose taking away someone's right to vote for editor, the immediate response is going to be 'no,' but I don't think elect­ ing the editor really gives students that kind of influence necessarily," Sailer said. "When only four percent of the student population votes for the edi­ tor; what kind of accountability is that?" Sailer added that the editor should be a repre­ sentative of the student body and said the newspa­ per reflects this representation through its news stories, editorials and firing lines by relating UT decisions to students. "I think that symbolically the elected editor sys­ tem provides that sort of accountability, but in real­ ity it doesn't give students that kind of control since they never run for re-election," Sailer said. "The TSP can take the office away from you, so why shouldn't they let you become editor whereas stu­ dents who elect you can't strip you of your power." SG President Matt Hammond said the practice of electing a journalist is "highly unusual," because . no professional newspaper in the U.S. has an elect- ed-editor system. "After really educating myself and having others educate me and trying to get a viewpoint from all sides of the debate, it is dear that the-current sys­ tem is broken," Hammond said. "We have an incredible paper, but to protect its integrity, they need to be treated as journalists — it doesn't make sense for candidates to make promises they can't keep during election time." The newspaper staff at Auburn University is the only other public university in the nation who elects its editoi; and the staff is currently proposing an appointed editor. But Rusty Todd, a journalism professor and Texan staff member from 1968 to 1972, said T he D aily Texan has a long and proud tradition of excel­ lence under the current system. "If people want to be like die rest of the college papers, then we'll be mediocre," Todd said. "I just really hate to weigh into something that has worked for the last 100 years, and I'm not con­ vinced yet what the problem is. Hands off T he Texan." Despite the traditional process of an elected edi­ tor, Sailer said "tradition doesn't always mean what is best for the campus." "I think T he D aily Texan is a phenomenal paper, ancj it always does a great job in representing stu­ dent interests and students can only gain from the change from an elected to an appointed position," she said. Council passes tuition remission for assistants COUNCIL, from 1 Under the plan, sponsored by Faculty Council member Mark Southern, a professor of Germanic studies, UT researchers applying for grants would have to request that their graduate research assistants' tuition costs be paid by grants and contracts whenev­ er possible. About 600 of the 1,400 graduate research assistants don't receive reimbursement for their tuition through UT researchers' grants or contracts, leaving the stu­ dents responsible for paying their tuition while mak­ ing as low as $4,057 a semester, Southern said. "Recruitment of the best graduate students is apri­ ority issue for the University, for the graduate school and for many faculty members whose research depends on graduate student RAs," Southern said. "As things stand, UT is demonstrably at a disadvan­ tage and losing competitiveness in the absence of such a tuition remission policy." Faulkner must give final approval to the plan. A companion proposal, which could go before the council at its May meeting, would recommend that the University appropriate funding for research assis­ tants who are on grants that don't allow tuition reim­ bursement. The next Faculty Council meeting will be held May 7 at 2:15 p.m. Hippie remembered as originator of Hex Rally tradition HIPPLE, from 1 25 cents. "She only made 50 cents a night scrubbing foe floors of foe Littlefield building, so si» spoke up and said she was a fortune teller," Donald Q. Hippie said Monday. "Mom was a smart lady." She told-the students foe only way to guarantee a UT victory was to bum red candles. That night, Austin was aglow . with red candles to "hex" the Aggies. Hippie's red candles were used spo­ radically before big football games against Southern Methodist University, Baylor University and Texas A&M, but foe tradition faded during foe 1960s. But in 1986, when environmental activists urged foe administration to stop the UT bonfire before foe A&M game, Longhorn supporters turned to a midnight "Hex Redly," bringing back Hippie's legendary red candles.

Charles Page, music studies junior and UT rallies directoi; said he believes Madame Hippie's red candles give foe Longhorns an edge over foe Aggies. "I don't know what it is, but those red candles really do work," Page said. "Madame Hippie created something that has become uniquely UT, and that is something very special." Donald Q. Hippie said without foe influence of a mischievous nun at a Catholic school Madame Hippie attend­ ed, foe fortune-teller may have never found her life's calling. "Mom had a rough childhood, and that Catholic nun really took her under her wing and taught her to read palms and all that," Dohald Q. Hippie said.

The Free Trade Agreement of the Americas would extend free trade to nearly all countries in the Western Hemisphere. But Jim Hightower, syndicated talk show host and populist activist, said the trade negotiations, which began in 1994, have been undertaken solely by corporate executives and government officials of Western Hemisphere nations to the exclusion of every­ one else. "FTAA is a sneak attack on workers, family farmers, the environment and democracy itself," said Flightower, the former Texas Agriculture Commissioner. Furthermore, the FTAA extends corporate sovereignty not just to manufacturing and investor rights, but into the public sector, he said. "Corporations will be able to use FTAA to force priva­ tization from hospitals to Social Security," he said. FTAA is another pact in the spirit of NAFTA and WTO that lifts corporate power and corporate interests over those of the public, Hightower said, adding that such trade agreements result in higher pollution and greater worker exploitation in pursuit of greater corporate prof­ its. But Tim Sherer, acting deputy director of the Office of Cooperative Environmental Management untjer the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, said governmental organizations are addressing environmental issues.

The execution dates for James Roy Knox, 49, and Eddie C. Johnson, 22, have not been set. Knox was convicted of the November 1982 robbery-slaying of Joseph Sanchez, 39, owner of Joe's Pharmacy Center in Galveston. Sanchez was shot in the heart after he was confronted by Knox, who demanded drugs. After the shooting, Knox fled with a sedative and $15 in cash. At the time, Knox was on parole after serving two years of a 12-year sentence in Alabama. Knox wasri t arrested for the slaying until some two years later and was convicted in 1985. His death sen­ tence was overturned on appeal and he was retried in 1994, when a jury again convicted him of capital murder and sentenced him to death. for armed robbery Johnson was convicted of fatally shooting Jeffrey Doolittle, 42, inside the victim's garage March 6,19%. Johnson was 17 at the time of the crime. Johnson was identified as the leader of a gang that terrorized residents m late Í995 and early 19%. Doolittle was gunned down when he was confront­ ed and robbed by three men while he was carrying grocery bags from his garage into his Fort Worth home. Johnson was also identified as the gunman in a similar robbery 20 min­ utes earlier that left a woman seriously wounded. At the time of his capital murder conviction for the Doolittle slaying, he had also been charged with eight counts of aggravated robbery, three counts of attempted capital murs der and another murder count. A Tarrant County jury took less than an hour to convict Johnson of the killing and a little more than an hour before deciding on die death sentence. please recycle your copy of The Dally Texan DWI?

FEDERAL CREDIT UNION ✓ 8 T exan April 17, 2001 mm Focus longhorns | p the Hill _ UT students spend a ser¡ By Diana loe Daily Texan Staff Amanda Buehler, an English and French senior, used to spend a lot of time in the Liberal Arts career center searching for career possibilities. One day last fall, white doing her reg­ ular job search, she stumbled upon the Horns on the Hill pro­ gram and, on a whim, decided to fill out an application. "My degree doesn't have much to do with what I want to do," said Buehler, who is interested in human rights. I fig­ ured it would be a good way to get experience and see how the field likes me." S p r i n g 2 0 0 1 Ar che r F e l l o w s Amanda Buehler Andrew Chen Thaddeus DeJesus Anna Bell Farrar Gina Garcia Jacob Holder Rebecca Kruger Lori E. Nunan Lauren Rose Robert Schindler by created The Archer Fellowship Program, formerly called Horns on the Hill and former Congressman Bill Archer R-Texas, is a UT program jointly sponsored by h e College of liberal Arts and the College of Communication. This spring 10 students, five from five College of Liberal Arts and five from of College the Communication, received intern­ ships in Washington, D.C., while also attending classes and receiving up to 15 hours of semester credit. The program, now in its first semes­ ter awarded a $5,000 stipend to each student. This year there were about 45 applicants for 10 positions, according to Bem dt The program was renamed because' starting in the fall it will expand to students at UT-Dallas and UT-E1 Paso. Matt Bemdt, director of U T s Communication Career Services, said communication and liberal arts faculty members selected 10 upper-di vision stu­ dents based on personal statements, academic achievement, work experience and career interests. Bemdt, along with Anna Falkenberg of Liberal Arts Career Services, helped the students select and obtain their intern­ ships. Choices range from ABC News to Youth for Understanding, an international exchange program. Bemdt said he hopes the program, which is currently offered each semester, will soon become a year-long program. "If you look down the road, the idea is that students across the University system will have a chance to participate," he said. Bemdt also worked with Viquar Ahmad, assistant to the UT vice chancellor, in organizing the program before it began. Ahmad, who is working in Washington, D.C., said he talked to various colleges with existing internship programs in the area, including UC-Berkeley, Cornell University and Stanford University. Ahmad said he took what he considep*! the best features of all the programs. . . He also said they work to make sure the program is afford­ able to all students. "We are in the process of raising more funds," Ahm^d said. "The end goal is to provide students with full stipends." Ahmad said the funds for th? Archer Fellowship Program, including student stipends and faculty payment, are provid­ ed by the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Communication and the Provost7s Office. Buehler currently works 40 hours per week at the Center for International Policy, a nonprofit organization. She is involved with the Africa Project, writing about the country status in Africa and helping to organize a conference to ban land mines. Added to this busy schedule is an evening class held on Mondays and Thursdays, attended by all 10 students and taught by John Mashek, a retired journalist. Mashek has worked for the Dallas Morning News, U S. News and World searching for an internship. He previously worked at PetersGroup Public Relations, an Austin high-tech firm. Students choose three companies from a list provided by the program, and attempts are made to match selected stu­ dents to their chosen company. One of Holder's future endeavors is FEMA's Project Impact campaign in May, a national program for the preven­ tion of natural disaster and emergency damage. Currently, Holder is contacting national media and universities to arrange speaking engagements for Kevin Klose, CEO of N PR He is working with the University to allow Klose to speak on campus. Holder arrives at work early and stays late, usually work­ i n g o u t afterward and then catching tip on his steep. He has made friends with several other interns from -American University, located in Washington, D.C. Holder who will graduate in May, said being non-political has strengthened his experience. T m not too politically-oriented, so it helps," he said. 'Tm gaining a lot of knowledge. I'm extremely happy I got into the program. It was a very welcome change, with the people, scenery and culture. I don't think I'll ever go back to Texas. Buehler said while the program has "a few glitches," inducting the need for more leadership organization, they are minimal and to he expected for the program 's first year. Ten students from UT Austin will be selected again for the fall; the application deadline is April 27. Although Bemdt is u n c e r t a in of the p r o g r a m 's p r o je c t e d enrollment, he predicts UT-Dallas and UT-E1 Paso will indude five students each. Bemdt believes the program has been a success. "Our goal is to make Archer Fellows a prestigious thing," Bemdt said. "They're bright, motivated students. They're working harder and having fun at the same time." Buehler said despite hectic schedules, the group has man­ aged to throw a few dinner parties and go sightseeing. "They are the 10 quickest best friends I've ever made," she said. 'It's well-rounded. This is something people should look into. We're already halfway through five program, and I can say it's a great way to get hands-on experience."

Past speakers include Bill Archer LBJ School of Public Affairs Dean Edwin Dorn and College of Liberal Arts : Dean Richard Lari viere. 'It's basically about how Washington works," Mashek said. "It gives them a chance to listen, probe and ask ques­ tions. I tell diem to read a lot about things such as Bush's tax proposal and education reform." The class, located three blocks from the White House, will give the students a chance to visit politicians. Mashek also took the dass to the March 25 broadcast of Meet the Press. "It's very informal, giving them a varied look at what goes on in Washington," Mashek said. "They can bring in their own job stories. I'm learning as much as they are." Lauren Rose, a journalism junior and an intern with CBS's political unit, works from 10 am, to Span, five days a week. "Right now I'm doing research on Bush campaign promis­ es, getting quotes, intem-type stuff/' Rose said. - The students all live in the Virginian Suites hotel, which costs $4,980 per person for the semester. There are two stu­ dents per room and they pay only for expenses such as trans­ portation and food. "We were told we were getting effidendes, but we came in and there was a queen-size bed and a cot," Lauren said. "There were supposed to be two twin beds. But we com­ plained and got a one-bedroom hotel. It has a kitchen, living room — everything." Working and studying in the nation's capital has allowed the students to visit some of the world's most historic muse­ ums such as the Smithsonian and the Holocaust Museum. The group also received free tickets to an NBA All-Star game pre-party, met the host of Comedy Central's Daily Show, Jon Stewart and attended President Bush's inauguration, white standing alongside Bevo. Rose, who is considering a career in either journalism or M ike Woodson/Daily Texan Staff politics, said the program is time-consuming and requires a strong interest in politics. She hopes that her experience in Washington, D.G, will help illuminate her job path. The Archer Fellowship Program consists of two two-week courses and another in between. The program's introductory course, 'Topics in Journalism: Communication and Culture," was taught by UT communication studies profes­ sor John Daly and ran during the first two weeks of the pro­ gram. n ' "We learned a lot in that dass. It was really intense," Rose said. "It helped having it the first week— we teamed how to meet people." In Daly's dass, students read three books about politics and were assigned two fifteen-page papers, with the second due before spring break. Rose said a large portion of the dass focused on persuasion in the workforce; her first paper was on the Christian Coalition's persuasion tactics. During the last two weeks of the semester, Brian Roberts, UT associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and govern­ ment professor, will teach a dass called "Institutions Matter." Roberts said the dass will consist of discussion and essays on the reading, which indudes several books. < '1 hope to leverage the semester-long internship expen- ences of the students to promote lively discussions about the rote of political institutions in the U.S. and beyond," Roberts said. '1 want to avoid having this class seem unrelated to die students' D .C experiences while at the same time showing the links their experiences have to the sort of theoretical liter­ ature they often encounter back on the 40 Acres." Jacob Holdei; a public relations senior, said he enjoys work­ ing as a public relations- iptem at Ketchum, where he has accounts with NPR, Federal Emergency Management Agency and Arthur Andersen, a consulting firm. Holder said the atmosphere is laid-back, with a company happy hour every Thursday. "They're very understanding," he said. "It's a good cor­ porate culture."

Every April, the Longhorns get to live their major league dreams for free. No. 20 Texas (28-16) will face TCU (25-17) at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Sixth Annual Battle at The Ballpark, a game that means a lot more than the average Tuesday night contest. BASEBALL The major leagues are the pinnacle of baseball and the stuff of many a player's c h i l d h o o d f a n t a s i e s . Someone on this Texas squad could end up play­ ing in a big- league park every night for — but now, one in night April will have to do. No.201toxa» at TCU Records: Texas (28- 16); TCU (25-17) Where: The Ballpark at Arlington When: Today, 7 p.m. "It's like living a dream being able to play in a major league ballpark," Texas out­ fielder Ben King said. "It's just unbelievable — pretty much undescribable. It gives you a chance to see what your dreams would be like if you'd ever reach them." King won't soon forget the last time he played at The Ballpark, in the 2QOO Texas High School All-Star Game. Then a senior at Grapevine . High School, the lefty drove a ball into the 18th row of the park's right-field porch. "When I hit the home run, it was one of the most mem­ orable moments of my life," King said. "It gives me chills thinking about it, because I'll be able to tell my kids one day that I hit a home run in a big-league ballpark, even if I never make it to the big leagues." The annual game between the Homed Frogs and the Horns began in 1996, draw­ ing an NCAA regular-season record crowd of 21,043 as the teams split a doubleheader. Since then, Texas and TCU have squared off at The Ballpark every year except 2000, when the game was rained out. All five games rank in the top 10 in NCAA regular-season attendance figures. "It creates a lot of excite­ ment," Texas coach Augie Garrido said, "All these kids dream of being a big-league player, and until they start their professional careers, this is probably as close as they'll get. You know, I get excited, and I've been in a lot of those stadiums." Playing in a major league park — "the holy grail of baseball," in King's words — happens rarely, but Texas has already played a few games in a sparkling new stadium this season. Only it didn't go so well. Texas and TCU met in Houston's Enron Field dur­ ing the 2001 season's open­ ing weekend, a period the Texas players would just as 'soon forget, as the Horns lost all three games at Enron, including a 2-1 loss to the Frogs. Sm BALLPARK, P ag* 11 Dream may end tonight for Olajuwon By The Associated Press HOUSTON — Will Tuesday night's season ending game be the final one in a Houston Rockets' uniform for Hakeem Olajuwon? , Nobody knows, even Olajuwon, who started the season thinking he would retire after completing his $16.5 million contract with the Rockets but changed his mind dur­ ing the season. ' "It could be his last game but we can't be sure. I th at," say can't coach Rudy Tomjanovich said Monday the Rockets closed out their final workout before their final game against the M i n n e s o t a at Timberwolves Compaq Center. Hakaani Olgjuwon: May play last game Tuesday night. as Olajuwon, who missed the Rockets last three games with an ankle sprain, planned to be in uniform for the game but could offer little else about his future other than to say he will test the free agent market and plans to play next season. "I'v e never been a free agent before, I don't know the rules," Olajuwon joked. "A s a free agent, I like my position. The big man role is as important as ever. They have changed to rules to zone defenses so the big man is still important." Olajuwon missed three games with his latest injury and he was twice sidelined earlier this season with a swollen right knee and most recently from March 5-27 because of a blood condition that threatened to end his season and career. No special presentation is planned T he Daily T exan S ports Tuesday April 1 7, 2001 Baylor bags first ever win over UT By Kevin Kushner Daily Texan Staff The Longhorns entered Monday night's contest against No.23 Baylor optimistic. Texas had just disposed of Iowa State in a weekend series and with those two straight wins under their belt, looked to post a win against Baylor, whom the Horns had domi­ nated through the years by outscoring the Bears 31-2 in the history of the series. But SO FTBALL the Texas bats were hushed by Baylor ace Joni (23-11) Mitchell and despite anoth­ er stellar outing by Longhorn hurler Charla Moore (12- 11) the Horns fell 2- 0. 0 2 Records: Texas (21- 22); Baylor (32-17) Next Game: Wednesday vs. Texas A&MCC; 5 p.m. The loss drops the Homs below .500 with a 21-22 overall record, 4-7 in the Big 12. Baylor improved to 32- 17 and 4-6 in conference. Moore cruised through the first five frames, allowing only two hits, but trouble arose in die sixth inning. After retiring the first two Bears in order, Moore gave up two consecu­ tive singles. With runners on first and second, Baylor shortstop Koral King, who entered the game with a .239 batting average for the year, crushed a Moore delivery into the left-center gap that plated both base- runners and gave Baylor their first- ever victory against Texas. Texas had won all seven meetings prior to last night, including a 1-0 win over the Bears earlier this sea­ son. "The game seemed tq be the opposite of the game we played at our place earlier in the year," head coach Connie Clark said. "This time they were the ones that came up with the big hit and that's why they came out on top." The first meeting between the two clubs saw Texas third baseman Missy Malchi supply the clutch hit to put runs on the board. In the rematch, a clutch hit was nowhere to be found. The Longhorn- aluminum was completely silenced through the first five innings by Mitchell, who did not allow a hit until the fifth inning Texas outfielder Ben King will return to the Ballpark In Arlington Tuesday, the home of his most memorable blast to date.

Next Game: Today, Second in A.L West Texas at Seattle, 9:05 p.m. ___ "I don't care what comes out of their mouths, I still love them," Rodriguez said of Seattle fans in a pregame news conference. He said it had already been an emotional return to the city where he played six seasons — and it was strange walking into the visitors' clubhouse. Rodriguez ate lunch in the city Monday and posed for pictures and signed auto­ graphs. He said he was excited to play before his former fans, but expected to be booed, say­ ing "if s good for baseball." The crowd obliged, booing Rodriguez lustily during his first at-bat. He reached first base on a fielder's choice in that at-bat, and ended up going one-for-five at the plate in the Rangers' 9-7 loss to the Mariners. Other fans tossed fake dollar bills in the stands and onto the field. Mariners manager Lou Piniella was anxious for the fans to get it over with, saying he wanted to "go on and play baseball. He's going to be here for another nine games after this." Fans swarmed around the the Texas dugout during Rangers' batting practice. They waved and cheered when Rodriguez ran by. But a few minutes later Rodriguez took batting practice, and fans began booing from all direc­ tions. "I sure don't know how they feel about me, but I know how I feel about foe dty. ...

"I just want to get out of here. They don't play me anymore," the third baseman said Monday night. "If they don't want me here, then I don't want to be here, either" Hitless in his last 18 at-bats, Castilla is batting .206 with a homer and six RBIs. He has not played in the last four games after starting the first nine. "Everybody struggles in April, even some of the best hitters in the game. If s not how you start, it's how you finish," he said. "They already told me I can't help them win, so I don't know what I'm doing here." Castilla is only one of several Devil Rays who has struggled at the plate this season. The team has a .224 batting average and is. in last place in the AL East with a 4-9 record. His replacement at third base, rookie Aubrey Huff, is hitting .143. Castilla, who starred in the 1990s with Colorado before coming to Tampa Bay last sea­ son, feels he's been made the scapegoat for the Devil Rays' poor start. "1 fed like when you go to someone's house and they don't want you thefe," he said. "That's how I fed everytime I come to the ballpark." Despite Castilla's request; Tampa Bay general manager Chuck LaMar has said the team isn't looking to deal the disgruntled playee who last year was on die disabled list three times and hit 221 in only 85 games.

On the Brink Cross scores game-winner in overtime to put Senators on verge of elimination McCabe's shot the point deflected off Sundin's skate and past Lalime. By The Associated Press for nothing." from TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs let the Ottawa Senators back in the series by blowing a late two goal lead, but Cory Cross' goal in overtime put Toronto on the verge of a sweep. Cross scored 2:16 into overtime as the Maple Leafs beat the Senators 3- 2 Monday night to take a 3-0 lead in the first-round playoff series. Toronto can eliminate Ottawa with a win at home on Wednesday night in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series. "It was a huge win for us," Cross said. "We had the* game in control, but with a team like that you can never sit back, and they showed us why by getting two quick goals." Down 2-0 in the game, and with­ out a goal in the series, the Senators scored twice in the final 3:09 to force overtimé. "They definitely had the momen­ tum going into overtime," Cross said. "If we lose, we're still up 2-1, but they've got new life, and we definitely didn't want to give a dan­ gerous team life. They didn't get all those points in the regular season The Senators had not scored on Curtis Joseph in more than 223 min­ utes of playoff action, dating to last year's playoffs, when Marian Hossa spoiled Joseph's third straight shutout with 3:09 left in regulation. With Ottawa goalie Patrick Lalime on the bench for an extra skater, Daniel Alfredsson then wired a shot past Joseph with 35.6 seconds left in the third period to make it 2-2. "Guys were down, but we talked about having a chance to go up 3-0 with one shot," Cross said. Cross scored by shooting a long rebound past Senators goalie Patrick Lalime. "I haven't scored a bigger goal than that, ever," Cross said. "It's just luck that the puck came to me." Mats Sundin and Nik Antropov scored power-play goals for the Maple Leafs, and Joseph made 26 saves. "I'm sure they felt they had a great chance to win in overtime, but Cross pulled through with a huge shot," Toronto's Bryan McCabe said. The Senators, the No. 2 seed in the East, lost to the Maple Leafs in the first round of the playoffs last year. "To come back like that was a big boost, but the end result is that they finished it off," O ttaw a's Wade Redden said. "It's tough. When you look at it, we're down 3-0, but we just have to take it one game at a time. Obviously, we're in a big hole, but they say the fourth win is the toughest one to get, and we'll make it that way." Ottawa went 0-for-4 on the power play, falling to 0-for-15 in the series. Senators star Alexei Yashin scored 40 goals in the regular season, but Toronto's Shayne Corson kept him under wraps until Yashin got an assist on Hossa's goal. "We're sacrificing ourselves to win. We don't care who is scoring or what role they're doing. We're just doing the roles that we've been given, and that's what counts in the playoffs," Corsom said. "We just have to come out the same way again." Sundin opened the scoring with a lucky goal at 7:12 of the first. A ntropov's slap shot over the right shoulder of Lalime gave Toronto a 2-0 lead at 8:18 of the sec­ ond. "We battled hard in the last few minutes to get two goals, but we came up short on overtime," Lalime said. ■ Notes: The Maple Leafs blocked an astounding 48 shots in the first two games. ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Philadelphia coach Bill Barber spent the past day agonizing over whether to put defenseman Andy Delmore into the Flyers lineup. He did, and Delm delivered Monday night — proving once again what an important playoff performer he is. With the Flyers down two games to none in a first-round playoff series against the Buffalo Sabres, Delmore broke a tie with nine min­ utes left, leading the Flyers to a 3-2 "Call it lucky, call it what you want you want I guess, I don't know," Barber said. "Having Delly in tonight rewarded our team with a win. He came up with obviously a big goal for us." Game 4 of the best of seven series is Tuesday night at Buffalo. All three games of the series have been decid­ ed by one goal. "It was really ^weet," Delmore said. "From not playmg the first two games to being able to help the team out and get a victory. What more can you ask for?" Delmore didn't find out he was in place of Chris playing — McAllister, who struggled defen­ sively in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss — until about 90 minutes before game time. "I was excited," added Delmore, who's been known to produce in the playoffs before. Last year, with the Flyers trailing Pittsburgh 2-0 in a • second-round series, Delmore scored in overtime in Game 3 and then scored three times in Game 5 as Philadelphia eventually beat the Penguins in six games. forward intercepted Monday, Delmore's goal came off the second of two blatant Sabres turnovers.

Penguins use defense to skate past Washington. 3-0 By TVmi Associated aren't beating PITTSBURGH— The Pittsburgh Penguins the Washington Capitals with Mario* Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr, offense and more offense. Remarkably, they're doing it with a goalie who never got a chance and a former star who was down to his last chance. Kevin Stevens, buried on Philadelphia's bench earlier in the sea­ son, scored his second key goal of a low-scoring series, and Johan Hedberg had his first career shutout as the Penguins beat the Capitals 3-0 Monday night. -The Penguins, abandoning the shoot-the-works style that has marked their play for a decade, have allowed only two goals in three games to lead the Eastern Conference series 2-1 going into Game 4 Wednesday night in Pittsburgh- The Penguins? Winning with defense? Now that's an upset. "What we're doing isn't easy, but everybody is-buying into it — every­ body," defenseman Marc Bergevin said. "I like it.

Lee Bong-ju became his country's first champion in 51 years Monday when he pulled away in the closing stages to win in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 43 seconds. Kenya still had a winner in the women's race, with Catherine Ndereba victorious for the second straight year. Americans, meanwhile, had one of their best races in several years. Rod DeHaven, the only American to make the men's 2000 U.S. Olympic team last year, placed sixth in a career-best 2:12:41 — the first top 10 finish by a U.S. runner in seven years. Josh Cox, at 25 the youngest of the elite Americans, even took the lead briefly at the 12.4-mile mark before fading and fin­ ishing 14th. Mark Coogan, a 1996 Olympian, was the third American in the top 20, placing 19th at 2:18:58. Lee's victory was the first by a non- Kenyan since Italy's Gelindo Bordin in 1990 and the first by a Korean since Kee Yong-ham in 1950. , Lee won the silver medal at the 19% Atlanta Olympics, and said he was spurred on by the recent death of his father, Hae-ku. "That was the one thing that pushed me to exert myself more in this competi­ tion," the 30-year-old Lee said. He beat runner-up Silvio Guerra (2:10:07) of Ecuador by about 120 yards in the cool, sunny weather. The presence of the highly successful Kenyans didn't bother Lee. " I knew I was alone with many Kenyans," he said, "but the marathon is competing against yourself. I focused on competing against myself and not paying attention to the others." After winning the race every year since 1991 and with the past four winners run­ ning Monday, including two-time cham­ pion Moses Tanui, the best the Kenyans could do was a third-place by Joshua Chalang'a in his marathon debut. Tanui, the 1996 and 1998 winner, fin­ ished 12th; defending champion Elijah Lagat was 17th; and 1999 w inner Joseph Chebet dropped out. Olympic gold medalist Gezahegne Abera of Ethiopia was 16th. At last year's Olympics in Sydney, Lee finished a devastating 24th and thought about quitting marathon running. "The result of the Olympics was so dis­ appointing that if I didn't pull myself through, it would be the end of my career," he said. He rekindled his career with a second- place finish at the Fukuoka Marathon in Japan in December. Lee called it "a great honor" to be the first Korean winner in a half-century, adding "the last winners were my heroes. I did not know them. There was a big time gap." Lee began running marathons at 18, and this was his 26th. When he was a 16- year-old in high school, he ran a 4:17 mile. But he never won as big a race as he did Monday. Lee Bon&ju, right, won the Boston Marathon In a time of 2 hours, 9 minutes and 43 seconds. Associated Press Ramirez makes Astros pay for walk By The Associated Proas with the pitch.

"As it was, he didrit hit the ball well," Dierker said. Ramirez is a power hitter but his manager liked the way he approached the situation, thinking contact and going "He was using the whole field," Lloyd McClendon said. "If he hits like that all the time, he's going to get some big RBIs." Ramirez said he fully expected to get the opportunity because was certain the Astros were going to walk Giles. "I think 29 out of 30 managers in the big leagues would do that," Ramirez said Jimmy Anderson (1-1), who had been 0-3 with a 1296 BRA in four career appearances against Houston, allowed seven hits in seven-plus innings, pitch­ ing out of trouble as he stranded a pair of runners three times during the first four innings. "We stunk," Astros first baseman Jeff Bagwell said. The Astros 3-fhrough-6 hitters — Bagwell, Richard Hidalgo, Daryle Ward, Lance Berkman and pinch-hitter Moisés Alou — were a combined 1-for- 16. "We're not going to win many games doing that," Bagwell said. "We were just in a little bit of a team funk." Mike Williams pitched the ninth for his third save, helping stop the Pirates' four-game losing streak. Wade Iviiller (2-1) matched his career high with five walks, giving up two runs and three hits in six innings. Houston lost consecutive games for the second time this season.

Associated Press Waco community angry over BU’s lack of discipline for cat killing By The Associated Press WACO — In the past few weeks an unusual message has popped up on a few benches around town: "It was CINAL to kill Queso the cat!" It is the most visible sign of die public outcry since two Baylor University baseball players were charged .with shooting, skinning and beheading a cat last month. The incident has hit a nerve in the community, where many folks say they believe the players' 15-day suspension from the team was too lenient. Some res­ idents and students are now criticizing Baylor die oldest university in Texas and the largest Baptist college in the world. "Golly, if you are an unwed pregnant student, they kick you out of school, but if you do something like this you can stay in school and play cm die baseball team," said D.J. Qrtman, director of the Waco Humane Society and Animal Shelter. Baylor officials said that die players were disciplined but refuse to elaborate, citing laws protecting students' privacy. More than 50 letters ha ve poured in to the Waco Tribune-Herald about the inci­ dent, and only about five support the players and school, or say animal lovers are overreacting. Most letters express outrage about die cat's death or how Baylor has han­ dled the matter said John Young the newspaper's opinion editor who recent­ ly wrote a column on the community's reaction. "In a society that historically wore skins and survived on meat how do we reconcile our love for certain animals — cats, dogs and horses in particular? . . . Why the fuss about cruelty to cats and dogs? Here is why. Kinship," Young wrote. On March 9, Waco police responded to a report that someone shot a cat at a Taco Cabana near the Baylor campus and fled in a sport utility vehicle. Employees had seen the animal fre­ quently in the parking lot and had nick­ named it "Queso." Officers then stopped reserve out­ fielder d in t Bowers' vehicle and saw what appeared to be blood on the door and steering wheel. Police reported finding a severed, skinned cat7 s head in the back beneath some clothing, as well a pellet gun, a knife and a golf club that appeared to have cat hair on it. Bowers and pitcher Derek Brehm were charged with animal cruelty, a misdemeanor, and face up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine if convicted. Police presented the case last week to the McLennan County district attor­ ney's office, which has been bombarded with calls and letters. "I appreciate the public sentiment that they are concerned that a crime was committed, but we'll make our determi­ nation in fiie case based on facts and evidence," said prosecutor Crawford Long. Baylor founded in 1845, is controlled by an all-Baptist board of regents and is affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Student misconduct on or off campus "detracts from the Christian witness Baylor strives to present to the world," according to the 2000-2001 student handbook Rodriguez receives jeers in Seattle homecoming RETURN, from 9 ter to Boeing Co. officials, saying they should relocate to Dallas? Rodriguez said he was approached by the Rangers' ownership to endorse die city and understood the aerospace giant already had made a final decision to move its headquarters from Seattle. "It was never presented as Seattle versus Dallas," he said. Still, many fans took it personally. Mihn Tu of Olympia*wore a full Santa suit and held a sign in right field that read, "Santa Works 4 Free Not $252 Million A-Rod." "It's just a sign of protest," said Tu, 25, a banker who said he would not boo. "He's trying to steal Boeing with his comment. What's next, Microsoft? He's trying to make us poor." A neon pink "KRod" sign was one of many banners in the left field bleachers, a play on Rodriguez's nickname, A- Rod. Others read "Who let the DOG in?" and "A-Wad." Kelly made a derogatory sign that hung — for a short time before it was removed — from the framework of the Seattle Seahawks' new football stadium under construction within view of Safeco Field. Kelly is an ironworker working on the new stadium. "We don't appreciate building that stadium for Alex and the other super­ stars and have him walk away," Kelly said during a lunch break at the Stadium Market near the ballpark. "To go to Texas is a slap in the face. "If it was New York or another big market I could understand. But to go to Arlington, Texas? What7 s in Arlington, Texas? I'm tired of him breaking all my little boys' hearts." Horns hope to salvage a game against Horned Frogs BALLPARK, from 9 "We have to forget what's going on around us and concentrate on the baseball game," outfielder Matt Rosenberg said. "That kind of got the better of us when we played in Enron earlier in the year. " TCU also got the better of Texas on March 6, winning 7-2 at Disch- Falk Field, so the Horns would love to salvage the season series. More importantly, the Longhorns have lost a noticeable number of mid­ week games to lesser teams, includ­ ing UT-Arlington, McNeese State and Southwest Texas State (which beat Texas twice). While dropping those Tuesday games doesn't hurt the Horns in the Big 12 standings, it certainly doesn't help in their quest to host one of the 16 NCAA regionals. After losing a pair to unranked TCU, Texas needs a win in Arlington. "The magical number is you'd like to have over 40 wins," Garrido said. "We've already lost 16, so that means we have to win every game. You're definitely going to be in that tournament if you win 40 games. The farther you get away from that magical number, the more risk you take." Texas will send either sophomore Ray Clark (1-2, 3.89 ERA) or fresh­ man Eugene Espineli (1-1, 3.26) to the mound Tuesday. TCU's starter has yet to be announced. BU’s Mitchell silences Texas bats for ninth shutout SOFTBALL, from 9 allowing another hit, maintaining die shutout. when freshman Tamara Poppe sin­ gled to center. Sarah freshman Fellow Weiszczack first followed Longhorn hit with a bunt single and the Longhorns were suddenly threatening. But Mitchell pitched her way out of the inning without the Texas would accumulate one hit in both the sixth and seventh innings, but were unable to put any runs on the scoreboard. "Mitchell throws a lot of strikes, especially first pitch strikes, so we went into the game with the game plan of attacking that first pitch," Clark said. "We did a good job of that but we were just hitting it at people." Mitchell struck out six Longhorns while not issuing a walk on her way to recording her ninth shutout of the season. The shutout also marked the seventh time this season that Texas was kept out of the scoring column and dropped Texas' record against ranked opponents to 5-13. Texas has one day to mull over the Baylor loss before taking returning to action against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in a double header on Wednesday evening. Game time is set for 5 p.m. at McCombs Field.

In breaking news reporting, The Miami Herald won for its coverage of the pre-dawn raid by federal agents who took custody of Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez. The story also pro­ duced the breaking news photography award for Alan Diaz of The Associated Press, for his photo of a federal agent in riot gear confronting a man holding Elian in a closet. "It's awesome! I can't believe it!" Diaz said as he was mobbed by Miami AP staff members and toasted with champagne. The AP was a finalist in public service for coverage of the 2000 presidential election, singled out for praise by the Pulitzer board "particularly during those 36 uncertain days when much of the nation looked to the AP for disciplined, 24-hour reporting on the dose votes and recounts." The other finalist was The Washington Post for its series on AIDS in Africa. David Moats of the Rutland (Vt.) Herald — circulation 22,000 — won the newspaper's first Pulitzer, for editorials in support of dvil unions for gay couples. "I'm flying high!" Moats said, as champagne was passed around the newsroom. David Willman of the Los Angeles Times won for inves­ tigative reporting for his expose of unsafe drugs that had been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. For explanatory reporting, the staff of the Chicago Tribune won for "Gateway to Gridlock" about the American air traf­ fic system. The beat reporting Pulitzer went to David Cay Johnston of The New York Times for exposing loopholes and inequities in the U.S. tax code. The Times also won for national report­ ing for its series on race in America. Two prizes were awarded in international reporting. Ian Johnson of The Wall Street Journal won for stories about the Chinese government's suppression of the Falun Gong movement. Paul Salopek of the Chicago Tribune — a winner in 1998 for explanatory reporting for a profile of the human genome project — won for reporting on political strife and disease in Africa. "To get a second Pulitzer is very surreal," Salopek said by phone from London's Gatwick Airport, where he was on a layover during a trip from Sierra Leone to South Africa. "I think I'm going to have a hot shower and get a good night's sleep.' It's rare that the Pulitzer committee awards two prizes in one category. The last time it happened in international reporting was in 1993 for stories about the Bosnian conflict. The feature writing prize went to Tom Hallman Jr. of Portland's Oregonian for a profile of a facially disfigured teen-ager who underwent surgery. The Oregonian's INS series found that the agency was detaining people for long periods without giving them access to legal representation. The commentary award went to Dorothy Rabinowitz of The Wall Street Journal for articles on American society and culture. Pulitzer Prize administrator Seymour Topping said Rabinowitz was not one of the three finalists selected by the Pulitzer jury. He said the Pulitzer board, which makes the final decisions, sought "a broader choice" and that the jury offered Rabinowitz as an alternate selection. "It is a rare occurrence," Topping said. Gail Caldwell of The Boston Globe won for criticism for her observations on contemporary life and literature. The editorial cartooning prize went to Ann Telnaes for work she did for the Los Angeles Times Syndicate and, after it was taken over by the Tribune Co., for Tribune Media Services. The Pulitzer for feature photography went to Matt Rainey of The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., for his emotional photographs of the care and recovery of two students burned in a fire at Seton Hall University.

Associated Press • Living organ donation continues its decade-long rise By The A ssociated Press WASHINGTON — Organ donations from the living jumped by 16 percent last year, the largest increase on record, as the waiting list for transplants grew much faster than donations from people who had died. More than 5,500 people gave a kidney or, less commonly, a piece of the liver, accounting for nearly half the nation's donors in 2000, the Department of Health and Human Services said Monday. The number of living donors has been growing more quickly than the number of cadaveric donors for a decade, but the gap was particu­ larly striking in 2000. While the number of living donors jumped 16.5 percent, donations from the dead edged up by just 2.7 percent. At this rate, living donors will outnumber cadaveric donors within a year or two. On Tuesday, HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson is to unveil a major donation initiative, including a new campaign with businesses and unions to promote donations among their workers. His department also plans to introduce a national donor card that backers hope will give transplant officials a stronger case for proceeding with donation even if the family is wary. Debate has raged for several years over how to distribute scarce organs for transplant, but relatively little focus has been placed on how to increase the number of donors. Until now, most of the effort has been channeled into media cam­ paigns that encourage people to talk to their families about donation. HHS also has moved to require hospitals to report deaths to local organ banks so transplant professionals can identify potential donors and approach their survivors. These efforts, all aimed at donation after death, have produced only tiny increases over the last several years. In the 1990s, the number of patients on waiting lists grew five times as fast as the number of trans­ plant operations. The long wait — close to 76,000 people are now in-line — has helped produce the spike in living donations, experts said. "When you have to tell patients the wait is going to be three or four years, you say, 'I'd look around and see who might donate a kidney — your family, your friends or someone,'" said Dr. Patricia Adams, pres­ ident of the United Network for Organ Sharing, who works with kid­ ney patients at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. In 2000, a total 22,827 organ transplants were performed, an increase of 5.4 percent over 1999, according to data compiled by the transplant network. The increases were much more dramatic among living donors, who now comprise nearly half of all organ donors. Still, cadaveric — or dead — donors account for the bulk of transplants because each cadav­ er can donate several organs. Last year, there were 5,532 living donors ana 5,984 dead donors. A huge majority of donations from the living are kidneys, since most people have two healthy kidneys but must have only one. Last year there were also 344 living liver donations, where surgeons remove a part of a liver for transplant and each piece grows into a whole organ. M edically, doctors have only been dividing livers for the last few years, explaining the quick rise in the number of these living livers donations. And for kidneys, research over the last few years has proven that liv­ ing donations, even from people who are not close relatives, are just as successful — if not more so — than kidneys from people who have died. T h at's because the donor is typically quite healthy, and the trans­ plant can be planned more carefully. The donated kidney is usually outside the body for a half hour or less, allow ing it to begin function­ ing in its new body more quickly, said Arthur Matas, a kidney trans­ plant surgeon at the U niversity of Minnesota. And laparoscopic surgery, where the kidney is removed through a sm all incision, has reduced the pain and recovery time for the donor. Still, M atas emphasizes, risks to donors accom pany any major sur­ gery- "W hen I talk to them, I try to just lay it on the line and say, 'T his is an operation that has risks without any physical benefits [to the don or],'" he said, but few are dissuaded. "W hen I see patients, their fam ilies are there, having already decided w ho's going to be a donor." T Testing prep taking time from science, arts, humanities By The Associated Press WASHINGTON— Volunteer Carol Danner was leading a discussion of Dr. Seuss' Oh the Places You'll Go with her son's fifth-grade class, when the teacher interrupted her. She need­ ed time to prepare the students for a dtywide standardized test. Across the nation, teachers are being asked to set aside time in the school day for test preparation. Increasingly, they — and their principals — are being evaluated on how well their students perform on these exams. Many teachers and a few researchers say the push to eval­ uate students' reading, writing and math skills is taking classroom time from other subjects. The situation, some say, is more severe in low-income areas, where schools and prin­ cipals now often face a greater risk of los­ ing autonomy and funding if their stu­ dents' academic performance doesn't improve. happy to brag about which colleges they planned to attend. The teacher halted foe discussion, though, so foe children could practice reading before lunch, in preparation for an upcoming dtywide assessment. Parents at Scarsdale Middle School, in prosperous Westchester County, N.Y., are leading a revolt against foe state's standardized tests, given in five subjects. Melanie Spivak, foe school's PTA president, said foe parents of more than one-third of foe school's 297 eighth-graders will keep their children out of school during testing next month. Spivak said foe school's high-quality curriculum is being gutted in favor of test preparation. For example, she said, a two-week unit on World War II was reduced to a two-day lesson, while a monthlong unit on hurricanes has been elim­ inated altogether.

"You have to pick what's important," he said, since test results have a bearing on school funding and ranking. In Aurora, Colo., science teacher Anne Tweed said her marine biology and envi­ ronmental science classes were interrupt- jj ed by five days of exams in math and ' | reading. She acknowledges the importance of teaching and assessing basic skills, but I wishes the tests didn't cut into class time. "We lost that many days that would have been science instruction," she said. to the According Education Commission of the States, all states now require students to take math and reading tests in at least two grades, and 38 states reward or sanction schools and school dis­ tricts on foe basis of student performance. Sanctions vary widely, from a written warning to a complete takeover of failing schools. President Bush wants to continue the trend, proposing to take away some fed­ eral funds from schools that serve poor children if student performance on stan­ dardized tests doesn't improve after three years of extra federal help. According to the National Association of State Boards of Education, foe states spend $423 million a year on testing. Recent polling suggests that Americans think it's money well spent. A Harris Poll last month said 87 percent of Americans favor testing students annu­ ally in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math — a key Bush proposal — while 78 percent favor making principals and teachers more accountable for now well or badly students do on tests. But me poll said 59 percent don't sup­ port ¡ inishing unsuccessful schools by tak e aw a y federal funds.

Resolution Number One: in order to mark a triumphant year in which everything stops being shit I will keep a diary." And ttüngs do look blighter, at first. Bridget starts a relationship with her sexy boss, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) — which cata­ pults her self-image from tragic spinster to wanton sex goddess — only to watch it dissolve from good, to bad, to shit, to diarrhea. She quits her job — mostly because she'd rather "wipe Saddam Hussein's ass" than have to look at Cleaver every day — and finds work as a correspondent at a London television statiort. Meanwhile, her path continu­ ally crosses with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth, the jealous husband in The English Patient), a dashing attor­ ney whom Bridget begins to like, even though he's haughty and should rethink his sideburns. Of course, this is just the bare bones of the plot in a film that is refreshingly unconcerned with plot. The charm of Bridget Jones's Diary lies in the small tri­ umphs and embarrassing incidents of Bridget's life — the stuff all good diaries are made of. From scenes of Bridget's periodic verbal retarda­ tion to her thong-clad plunge down a fire pole to her decision about what sort of underwear is most beneficial on a date, Bridget Jones's Diary, more than any other film this year, provides the audience with an abundance of entertaining moments at which to laugh. Of course, many women will acknowledge that they are essen­ tially laughing at them­ Carefully selves. measuring, if not lessening, her calorie, alcohol and cigarette intake, Jones epitomizes the modem female, raised to think smoking is sexy, alcohol is stress-relieving and food is evil. This concept is what made many feminists cringe when the novel was originally released; they argued that Jones is essen­ tially a less-anorexic Ally McBeal, and craved a stronger, more inde­ pendent heroine, one who wasn't co-dependent on substances, men or her bathroom scale. But Bridget's lack of complete self- dependence is what makes the book, as well as the film, so spe­ cial — it's honest about the way most women behave, refusing to criticize them for preferring to Bridget Jones’s Dtery ★ ★ ★ ★ * ? ' starring Renée Zellweger Hugh Grant director Sharon Maguire bum a few calories instead of their bra. Director Sharon Maguire and Zellweger understand the idea that women are typically a mixture of savoir-faire and uncertainty, endowing Jones with both qualities, which proves an effective medley most of the time (although the scene where Jones quits her job while Aretha Franklin's "Respect" plays in the background is a little clumsy). Despite the "chick flick" label that Bridget Jones's Diary will undoubtedly receive, the film certainly seems to have mass appeal — the theater was full of everyone from PTA moms (the filmmakers should really consider run­ ning advertisements for Keds and Windsuits instead of trailers) to college-aged couples to middle-aged men. The reason is that Maguire has crafted a solidly entertaining film, aban­ doning the segmentation of Fielding's novel to create a flowing, completely absorbing narra­ tive. The story is only augmented by Zellweger in the title role — she proves that skinny Texans can indeed embody full-figured Londonites. Bridget Jones's Diary is Zellweger's Raging Bull — she packed on 20 pounds to subject herself to unflattering lines like, "I thought you said she was thin." This lack of Hollywood-centric self-image is the actress's best move to date — her Bridget Jones captures the same plucky spirit that people loved a bo ut F i e l d i n g ' s novel, and furnish­ es the film with an u n d e n i a b l e charm.

Sure, they say, we're alone for now, but there's hope. These are movies whose characters have character — they make us believe in the idea of soul mates, because they have a soul. Based on the popular 1997 novel by Helen Fielding (who also cowrote the script), Bridget Jones's Diary tells the story of Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger), a down-on-her luck London singleton who t— after a disastrous dinner party at her parents' house — decides that, "This year, I will take total con- ♦ trol of my life. I Will make By Erin Steele DaHy Texan Staff About a year ago, I decided to start a diary. 'Then," I kidded myself, T won't forget the exciting, day-to-day events of my existence." Sadly, I have come to the realization that my most exciting entry involves a homeless, drunken octogenarian who, settling in next to me on the bus, told me I have nice legs (at least I think that's what he said. I don't speak "whiskey" fluently). Perhaps this is the reason I felt so lonely walking out of h e theater after seeing the wonderful Bridget Jones's Diary — well, that and the fact that no one else was walking with me. After all, here is a film whose heroine can fill her diary with the best of both worlds: the reality of female existence and the fulfill­ ment of female fantasy.
