See Sports, Page 9 Professors seek college exit exams By JuHe Nolen Daily Texan Staff Two UT professors proposed using exit exams for college stu­ dents _ which they said would better measure learning than cur­ rent methods of evaluation — at an education subcommittee meet­ ing at the state Capitol Thursday, but the idea faced some opposi- t t ___l _ : l _____ __ L . . a ^ 1 / 4 w o m l u ^ r c o f t i H ? T P Y Daniel Bonevac, chairman of the Department of Philosophy, and Robert Koons, professor of philosophy, told members ot the lexas House of Representatives.' Subcommittee on Education that current programs — such as credit hours and transcripts — don't adequately measure student learning. P ro p o s e d exit exam The proposal: ►Requires students upon graduating from any Texas college or university to take one or more standardized tests and a writing assess­ ment test, which will be com­ pared with the student’s pre­ vious SAT or other entering exam score. •The exam would be paid for by the state and would be included in a student’s tran­ script, but will not be required for graduation. The purpose: The exit exam will measure what a student has learned and retained while in a higher educa­ tion program, which may help university profes­ sors better their teaching styles. Source: Daniel Bonevac, Department of Philosophy chairman Lucy Quintanilla/ Dmly Texan Staff "Student evaluations are useful and not really mean­ ingless or bad, just incom­ plete," Bonevac said. "Credit hours and transcripts don’t allow for comparison — we want to look at what higher education contributes." Bonevac said the pro­ posed exit exam would con­ sist of a multiple choice stan­ dardized test and a writing assessment exam, which would test both general knowledge and information specific to a student's major. Students would take the exam before graduation, and the scores would be added to their transcript but not required for a degree. Bonevac said one current system of evaluation — teacher evaluation sheets — only measure how well stu­ dents enjoyed their college experience. The proposed exam would not only evaluate a student's learning but also a professor s abilities, Bonevac said. "Right now we don't know how the education ot one student, who has one American history professor, compares to another stu­ dent's education, who had a different professor," Bonevac said. The new exam would also evaluate whether a student retained information, Bonevac said. "N o matter how much I've thought 1 taught, how much a stu­ dent retains one or two years later is more important, and right now we have no idea how much they are retaining, Bonevac said. Rep. Scott Hochberg, D-Houston, argued during the subcom­ mittee meeting that a multiple-choice test cannot measure the value of a student's education. He also questioned whether the test wall "tunnel everyone in the same direction" and not test enough infor­ mation specific to a person's major. Hochberg added that upper-division courses usually require more sophisticated testing like term papers. Bonevac agreed that a standardized multiple choice test ls not the best evaluation of certain majors, such as psychology, which requires a significant amount of applied learning. Bonevac said the new exit exam would supplement current eval­ uation techniques and not replace them. "I don't intend for one thing to replace all other evaluations — that would be foolish," he said. "But this is an important dimension , that is now missing." Tim Vick, UT vice president for student affairs, echoed Hochberg's argument but said he feels that different degree requirements combined with teacher and student evaluations are sufficient judging criteria. . . ^ ,, . , "We have operated in the past with confidence that the faculty will evaluate students well enough on a regular basis,' Vick said. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, and chairman of the subcom­ mittee agreed that the purpose of the proposal is important, but he ad ded that for now it may have to wait. "I'd like to look at it more, but for now I prefer to stick to the plan, which does not include exams," Cuellar said. "Now I'm concvmed about working hard with the chancellors and presidents [of Texas colleges and universities] about how to increase retention and gt more kids graduating." Although the subcommittee did not vote on any issues Thursday, Bonevac said he hopes his proposal created enough interest to spark future discussion. Other items of discussion at the meeting included how to improve the number of students graduating and how to adminis­ ter higher education salaries.

" I have never been so hum iliated as 1 have been here," Cisneros said. "M y bosses and supervisors constantly take the liberty to make their own rules to better suit themselves." Cisneros said he is prepared to take responsi­ b ility for his actions. "Everybody is scared, but we are prepared to face the consequences," he said. He added that while he hopes problems between staff and the adm inistration are resolved, he does not care what happens after the sick-out.

However, U T PD removed more bikes than usual this fall because the bikes have not been collected the past three years. , Owners of bicycles registered with U TPD were notified by letter that they can pick up their bikes free of charge until the date of the auction, Van Horn said. Eig h ty percent of those notified have responded. The remaining 200 bicycles w ill be auctioned Oct 25 unless their owners claim them, Van Horn said. "W e'd be glad to give all the bikes back," he said. "O u r concern is getting them off the racks for the people who use the racks on a d aily basis." Sm BIKES.

Republican House leaders vowed a prompt veto override attempt, hoping to issue aliv e in keep the so-called death tax the fall campaign. Clinton, during a ceremony in the White House East Room, acknowledged the estate tax can hit some farmers and small business­ es hard, but he said many Democrats favored tax law7 changes to exempt them without handing the richest 3,000 families an average tax cut of $7 million apiece. “Our party is not against reasonable estate tax relief. But this bill is wrong. It is wrong on grounds of fairness. It is wrong on grounds of fiscal responsibility," Clinton said. The White House said the $ 105-billion cost during the 10-year phaseout would explode to $750 billion in the decade after full repeal rapidly consuming budget surplus dollars needed to shore up Social Security and Medicare, pav dowm the national debt and increase spending on education. The bill, like the mamage penalti' tax ait Clinton vetoed a few’ w'eeks ago, was part of last year s vetoed $792-billion tax cut that congressional Republicans are now trying to pass bit by bit. The president said these smaller, more po opular bills could “snowball' into the same .iuge tax cut, threatening a return to deficits hu and higher interest rates for consumers. "Unless someone stops it, the snowball will turn into an avalanche and you'll have the same impact you had before," the presi­ dent said. "This bill suffered the inevitable fate of a snowball in August. Only about 2 percent of estates in a g iv e n year pay the tax that reaches 55 percent, but sponsors of the repeal won broad support on Capitol Hill by arguing that it inhibits busi­ ness expansion, threatens breakups of farms and forces millions of taxpayers to pay lawyers, accountants and insurance compa­ nies so they can avoid the tax. "Working men and women across the country recognize that it is simply wTong that after paying taxes your whole tife, the gov­ ernment can collect up to 55 percent of th e ^ same assets when the head of the tamily dies," said Rep. Jennifer Dunn, R-Wash. ' This is a fairness issue." The estate tax veto assures the issue will be part of dozens of House and Senate cam­ paigns and the presidential race between Democrat A1 Gore and Republican George W. Bush.

The Securities and Exchange Commission said Mark Jakob, 23, of El Segundo, was an employee of Internet Wire, which distributed the bogus release about turmoil at Emulex Corp. Jakob used a computer at El Camino Community College, where he is a student, to construct and send the release, the SEC said. Jakob was charged with securities fraud and wire fraud and could get up to 15 years in prison.

A highly toxic cleaner called Extra Strength CSP, which has been used to clean UT sw im m ing pools, bathroom s and rusty pipes, has been discontinued (according to UT officials) and is underinvestiga- tion by the UT Environmental Health and Safety Office.

By Stephen Stetson Daily Texan Columnist Take a moment and think about your frustration with traffic. Think about traffic in a way that is a little less casual and dismissive than you might think about other contemporary social problems, such as, say, global warm­ ing. Take a look around campus and consider the human dependence on the automobile, its effects, and possible consequences. The culture of cars has massive negative repercussions on a daily basis for the entire social system. Although the University is taking a few proactive measures, such as clos­ ing Speedway to auto traffic, to make campus more pedestrian friendly, it simultaneously builds new parking garages and caters to a sprawling Austin landscape that enforces the dominance of the automobile as a means of transportation. From the icy blasting air-conditioned luxury of a car, complete with tunes of your choice, sweaty people walking and riding bikes seem to be miserable. Why not insulate oneself from the poi- sonous fumes of the highway environ­ ment by wrapping oneself in a metallic skin and hurtling down the network of paved corridors that cover Austin? Failure to drive from place to place in the Texas heat (April through October) results in shiny foreheads, damp clothing, runny makeup, and an often disheveled appearance. Such a breach of the polished exterior persona provided by an air-conditioned and gas-guzzling SUV makes the typical UT student reluctant to dilute their hair gel with toxic perspiration. Though Austin has one of the best public transportation systems in the country, students still line up to battle for precious campus parking spots each day, wait like steel predators for people exiting their buildings to reach their cars, and conspire to invent ways to defeat the dark forces that distribute parking tickets. One could blame our car culture on a twisted auto industry that depicts people driving down their driveways just to get the mail at the same time that it crafts seductive images of free­ wheeling new cars zipping along mountain roads, idyllic forest paths, and scenic desert cliffs. One could look to various pop culture milestones that enforce a sort of sick material lust for the automobile, be it Easy Rider's archetypical tribute to the road or Krught Rider's technological fetishism of cars. However the best rationales that most students can come up with are general apathy and utter unwilling­ ness to question the consequences of their dependency. Firestone recalls your tires this summer because they are rubber deathtraps? No worries, just go get more tires. Cars destroy the planet? Not for a long time and one person can't make any difference. Grossed out by the constant circling of the rolling advertisements known as "street blimps?" Just turn your head. Corporate interests from oil indus­ tries and the insurance industries to the parking office here on campus and, of course, the auto industries all have vested interests in making sure that people don't give up their cars. The romance of driving and the geograph­ ical structuring of city layouts around the car act as weights against critiques of the consequences of technology. Long-term worries about global warming and low-level ozone contam­ ination are brushed aside for flashy new devices to make car travel more luxuriant. A look at the sprawl taking place in areas surrounding Austin (been out to Bee Caves or Round Rock lately?) and the revolting filth of the Houston skyline should provide local­ ized reminders of the consequences of our technological addictions. Just a few thoughts to ponder while you dre aimlessly looking for a park­ ing space. Stetson Is a journalism senior X D o n 't ^ 0 G>ooo. H i . l A f U w * . X IWoRK ON TRe. Custodial STKff A T U T .

TSUI x OOMT KNOW. ^ 1 , T a children By Mike Jones Daily Texan Columnist By now you have in your possession at least 3,000 copies of the New Testament, thanks in large part to the Gideons who have descended upon the University in a blaze of Brill cream, old man smell, and gentle smiles. God bless 'em. Hell, Hook 'em. Somebody needs to óffer the lost, sweaty, hungry, and generally screwed-up 18-to-26- year-old students on campus some type of spiritual comfort other than the graffiti scrawled on the bathroom stalls of the UTC or on top of the Daily Texan boxes. Sure, the Gideons have all the entrances covered and have surround­ ed campus better than any third-world army could every hope to do. Sure, being offered a Bible at the rate of 50 per-minute while you cross the drag is a little tedious; but, damn it, you just got to love those old man smiles. They remind me of my Grandpa, that is if my Grandpa ever lost his mind and started passing out books on the street in the Texas heat. But then again, my Grandfather never liked college kids anyway. Perhaps the Gideons should take their cue from the plethora of student parasites that explode on campus dur­ ing the early days of every semester. Maybe, the Gideons could place the Bibles under the windshield wipers of everybody's car in West Campus (a sort of bar flier minus the references to cheap beer and ladies night.) Maybe, they could give them away along with the free cell-phone you get when you sign up for Sprint PCS. Or, they could give them away when you sign up for a "student" credit card or buy a phone card with "Low per minute rates." Or, they could give them away when you subscribe to, God forbid, the Houston Chronicle. Maybe they could tape them to the sidewalk on the drag, or perhaps they could have the New Testament printed in sticker form and then they could plaster them over every vertical surface on campus. The Gideons, however, have one major problem that can't be solved with slick advertising gimmicks. They're only giving out the last half of the Bible. When I was six years old, a kid tried to trade me the last half of an X-men comic for my Optimus Prime Transformer. I didn't fall for it then, and I'm not falling for it now. You don't give somebody the last half of the latest Stephen King novel for Christmas and expect a great big hug and thank you in return. I think the same should be true for the Bible. Where is my Old Testament? Where is my Genesis? Where is my brother slaying brother? Sure, Jesus Christ is an integral part of the Bible, but, baby, in the beginning it was just Adam and Eve, and I think there's something to that. I wonder if there are several hundred copies of the Old Testament laying on the floor of the Gideon Bible factory? Did they pick these Bibles up cheap? Maybe they were damaged during delivery. Were they display models in a giant Bible outlet store somewhere in the mid- West reduced for quick sale? In the great damn big scheme of things getting offered a Bible everyday for three or four days isn't that big of a deal. At least these guys are interested in my spiritual well-being rather than my wallet like the rest of the money- grubbing vultures who stalk their pray up and down the Drag and on campus like it was free bullet night during and African hunting safari. The old men have friendly smiles and they always seem to say* "have a nice day." Hey, if being told have a nice day by a guy dying of heat stroke that looks like your Grandfather doesn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside, then there is something wrong with you. i * _ . . o ■ - — D e in e c ie a n e u ,u iu say a v.» sonal respirator while cleaning a bathroom , w here CSP is also used.

Apparently, that realization comes w hen their eyes and noses begin bum .

Help ‘em out Today was the first day of dasses. Boy could I tell the difference on campus. I have been in Austin since Aug. 15. My first impression of the University filled me with great pride. The campus was beautiful. I thought to myself, how nice it will be to sit outside and enjoy the shade of the many trees between dass­ es. Today I tried doing a little relaxing outside after lunch. I was extremely dis­ tressed by the enormous amount of trash that had suddenly materialized on the previously pristine grounds. The only change that had occurred was the addition of students. No wonder the janitorial staff feels that they are overworked and unappre­ ciated. The student body might well demonstrate support by making use of the many trash receptacles on campus. Our school is too beautiful to be trashed in such a thoughtless manner. Students, Momma doesn't work here. You'll have to be responsible for your­ self and your trash. Give the janitors a break. Cynthia Robertson Doctoral candidate, education admin­ istration Dear President Faulkner, As we get doser to the proposed sick­ out, it becomes unavoidably dear that you do not intend to make a good-faith effort to stop it— other than threatening to fire your staff, which is, in itself, evi­ dence that you are not being well advised. Please realize your liability should you not fire ALL workers who partidpate in the proposed sick-out if any one worker is fired by anyone. And please realize your liability in discrimi­ nating between staff and faculty on this issue. Be grateful that you will be firing these people early in the semester dur­ ing add/drop, which means that stu­ dents can try to enroll in sections with instructors. Your remarks in yesterday's Daily Texan about the custodial workers grievances provide more evidence that you are not well advised. You did not attend the custodial workers' meeting last week, so you should attend the one this week. Then you can hear and see for yourself how the University is keep­ ing dean hands by contracting out the housekeeping services, thus not being directly responsible for wages and employment policies for these essential workers. 1 have such regrets that you are forc­ ing this situation into a sick-out, with the ensuing chaos for students that will result from such a major loss of employ­ ees. I have asked you before, and I ask you again, please become better advised. You can't do that sitting on your high horse. You have to get down here with us.

A SM S K S S C S S f -* " — 6__ T h e Daily T exan September 1, 2000 BRIEFS Law school minority enrollment Increases for foil semester Minority enrollment at the UT School of Law has increased for the fall 2000 entering class, said Shelli Soto, assistant dean for admissions. The most dramatic change in enrollment is an increase in the number of African Americans 18 enrolled this fall, compared to seven in fall 1999. They, along with 34 Mexican-American law stu­ dents, are among 477 first-year law students who began the fall semester on Wednesday. Bill Powers, dean of the law school said the school's alumni deserves praise for the increase. "We are delighted with the improvement in our minority enrollment," Powers said in a statement. "The lion's share of the credit goes to our loyal alum ni who have worked so effectively and tire­ lessly on behalf of their alma mater." The efforts of several U T Austin law school alumni were recognized by Powers. State Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, frequently visited with groups of minority students and convinced sever­ al national air carriers to provide complimentary airline tickets to students, allowing them to visit the U T campus. Two other law school alumni — Larry Temple and Joe Jamail — were integral in creating the Texas lea d e rs Scholarships, which currently provide financial assistance to 59 U T law school students. Carter new Aslan American Studies interim director Mia Carter, associate professor of English, sue- ceeded Arthur Sakamoto today as intenm director for the Center for Asian American Studies. Sakamoto led the search committee to find his successor. * . . . "W e wanted someone with an ethnic studies background, and she has done that, he said in a statement. "She's also someone who has had con­ siderable administrative experience on campus." Carter, who received her m aster's degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, joined the UT faculty in 1992 and w as an associate professor in the English department. The Asian American Studies program has been in the works since 1994 and was a source of con­ troversy in March 1999 when administrators refused to explain why they chose Sakamoto as interim director. Students had favored Thomas Nakayama, a sociology professor at Arizona State University, to fill the role of permanent director.

But^Ray Sullivan, a Gov. George W. Bush spokesman, said Gore's proposal is an example of more talk with little chance of result. Sullivan said Bush also wants to increase the number of insured children, and his plan for health care would be more effec­ tive in accomplishing that objective. Devona Dolliole, deputy national spokeswoman for Gore / Lieberman 2000, said Bush has displayed a poor record of providing children with health care in Texas. She said there are 11 million uninsured children in the United States, 1.4 million of whom live in Texas. Dolliole added that Gore would expand the Children's Health Insurance Program, making discounted insurance available to - - .. ... . . children in families living at 2.5 times the poverty level, which is about $41,000 per year for a family of four. . « r .*______ lI__ The CHIP program, authorized by the federal government in 1997, allocates feder­ al funds to states to provide health insur­ ance to children. The insurance is given to families who earn too much to receive health insurance from Medicare but who cannot afford insurance from private com­ panies. Dolliole, who said Gore's plan would extend CHIP to 7 million working parents, said that last year Bush fought efforts to expand health insurance to 220,000 Texas children through CHIP. "Six hundred thousand low-income children are eligible to benefit from the CHIP program but aren't getting it because of cumbersome procedures for enrolling," Dolliole said. Bush's plan, Sullivan said, would give states more flexibility in administering CHIP, which he said is the only way of ensuring that regions in each state get ade­ quate attention. "Rigid federal guidelines prohibit states ..r> lAfifk i n n n \ r a f i \ ; p WAVQ C from coming up with innovative ways of providing health care," Sullivan said. "Challenges facing CHIP in a rural com­ munity in West Texas may be different from those challenging New York City." Charles Stuart, spokesman for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, said the state's goal is to enroll 428,00(1 chil­ dren in the CHIP program by September 2001. Approximately 84,000 children are currently enrolled in the program. He said the state is trying to reach its goal by approaching needy families and chil­ dren based on where they live in the state. Texas started taking applications for CHIP in April of this year. Stuart said because there is a need to appeal to people based on their back­ ground, there are 50 community-based CHIP organizations across the state. Sullivan said the Texas CHIP program, under the Bush administration, already covers families whose income is two times above the poverty level, which he said is an indicator of Bush's hopes to provide more families with insurance nationwide. DPS urges Labor Day caution, sobriety - _ . . . ______ *___ By Carl Hammerstrom Daily Texan Staff With Labor Day weekend promising increased boat and car traffic around Austin, officials from the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Lower Colorado River Authority are urging caution and sobriety this weekend. Tela Mange, a DPS spokeswoman, said college students are especially at-risk dur­ ing Labor Day holidays because of increased alcohol consumption. "Get a designated driver and that does not mean waiting until the last minute to figure out who's had the least to drink," she said. Mange said that as with every holiday, drunk driving and not wearing safety belts are the two leading causes of death. Last year in Texas over Labor Day week­ end, there were 41 automobile deaths, 12 of Thirtv-two which were alcohol—related. Thirty—two victims were wearing seat belts, but only half of them were worn properly, and nine did not wear seat belts at all, Mange said. In light of the sobering mortality statistics over Labor Day weekend each year, DPS has launched Operation CARE, which will send all available troopers onto already congested highways. Operation CARE will focus on enforcing the speed limit and safe­ ty belt laws, and cracking down on alcohol and drug offenders. Also, Mange said that students can always "grab a cab" if they are too intoxi­ cated to drive themselves. The Lower Austin Colorado River Authority is also bracing for crowding and danger on area lakes this weekend. Krista Eumscheid, an LCRA spokes­ woman, said there will be five patrol boats manned by the LCRA lake patrol and rangers and by Texas Parks and Wildlife. raneers and bv Texas Parks and Wildlife. Eumscheid said there have been five drownings and more than 600 citations issued since the start of Lake Travis' busy, summer season. Most of the citations were issued for missing safety equipment, not wearing life vests or reckless driving. Eumscheid urged swimmers and boaters to follow these water safety tips: • Make sure proper safety equipment is onboard. • Drink plenty of water; not alcohol — dehydration in the Texas heat can be enough to impair driving, and, mixed with alcohol, can be very dangerous. • Pay attention. The lake levels are lower than usual this year, so don't get caught in shallow waters. • Watch out for swimmers. • Don't overestimate your swimming ability. Watch for uneven lake bottoms.

By The Associated Press / WASHINGTON — After rejecting a plea from Texas officials to help pay for fighting fires, the Federal Emergency Management Agency decided it would help pay expenses for a fire southwest of Dallas that threatened hundreds of homes. FEMA said it would make money available to pay for the cost of fighting the 105-acre fire that began Saturday and was extinguished Monday. The fire was confined to an area on the north shore of Lake Whitney, about 85 miles southwest of Dallas, and threatened homes. However, the federal money is available only if Texas' costs of fighting the blaze exceed $355,097. FEMA then would pay 70 percent of costs beyond that threshold. In other fires this year in which FEMA money was offered, the state did not reach that ceiling on any of the fires, a state official said. Costs for the Live Oak fire still are being calculated. "Our whole position is to not have fires where they reach that grant level," said Tom Millwee, state coordinator for emergency management. FEMA decided Saturday to offer the Hill County fire grant, said Marc Wolfson, FEMA spokesman. In a July 27 request, Gov. George W. Bush asked FEMA for financial assistance, saying that 195 counties were "threatened by high or extreme fire hazard" caused by a statewide drought. Bush also has declared a state of disaster in those counties. But FEMA rejected that request Friday, saying most fires weren't threatening lives or public health and safety. Texas is appealing the decision. The rejection has puzzled some Texas officials. Millwee said that when FEMA rejected the request, fire hazard conditions were worse than they were in 1999 when FEMA approved assistance. This year, at least 470 fires have burned 24,462 acre's, said the state Division of Emergency Management. Last year, 217 fires burned 13,395 acres. your local online auction source Get your UT news in The Daily Texan a i E i O f . 1 5 9 - 0 0 2 6 % 5 5 0 1 N.

They are our UT students who spent the summer making alliances with the people, the culture , and the language of Latin America. As members of Amigos de Las Amencas, a public health organization ^ sig n ed to improve sanitation and education in Latin America, they joined 570 volunteers from across the nation to build latrines, teach English classes and lead discussions about AIDS, alcoholism and other health issues. The volunteer program was formed in 1965 in Houston, its objective to Improve health conditions in Honduras. Now, 35 years later, Amigos has expanded to include eight Latin American countries, offering volunteers more opportunities to travel and learn. Volunteers are asked to prioritize their preferences between the eight available projects. C t o t t ln g I n v o l v e d : For more information about the Amigos program, contact the local chapter at 682-6901, ext. 3191 or visit www.amigosltnk.org. Countries are assigned based on geo- graphic distribution, age, level of experi­ ence and required skills. "I want volunteers to gain a renewed spirit for community service and learn about cultures other than their own," said Andrew Springer, Latin American project director of Amigos. “Amigos allows [volunteers] to have a broader world vision while they gain leadership skills.' Jennifer Enson volunteered this sum m er in M exico She said that while gaining leadership abilities and engineering experience are what attracted her to Amigos, she left with a different persj^ective on life. “My host-fam ily in M exico harvested com , made tortillas and sold tamales for a living," said Enson, a m aster's candidate in engineering. "T h ey didn t have the conveniences of life that we have here. We have such an excess of money. Most of us have enough to eat, a place to live, more than enough clothes a show er, and we think that everyon e has those things. These people d id rit hav e show ers, d id n 't have toilets, d id n 't even have beds. Everyone just did the best they ro u ld to eet through the d ays." Enson said that living som eone else's everyday life was a hard adjustm ent to inake and that the differences in culture and mentality' could not be ov erloo ked * "T h e m ost difficult part of living there w as understanding where these people were com ing from ," Enson said. "W orking with the people there, understanding how they think, how they're motivated is not the sam e as w orking with peop t here. It's a w orld of difference to build a latrine in the United States than it is to build one in M exico." Building ecological latrines was a pnm ary Am igos project m Mexico, Honduras, Brazil and Costa Rica this summer. The latrines reduced water ran- lam ination by blocking hum an waste from entering the w ater cycle in an effort to prevent water-related diseases, such as cholera and dysentery’. , "W ater is essential to life, but a lot of developing countnes have contaminated f w ater in their sew age system ," said Ten Hart, UT graduate student and former Am igos volunteer.

She taught English classes to students between the ages of 4 and 60, and, with two partners, created games to make classes both educational and interactive. , However, Isensee said she w as more than just an English . teacher to her students. "We had games where the kids would move around and run, Isensee said. "Even the adults and teen-agers loved the games. This group of 13-year-old boys would always ask, 'Why don't we have more English classes? Why don't we have more games?' After class, we W(¡>u walk down the street and talk. I got to know some of them really well. We would talk about their Uves, their problems, their families." Another issue Isensee said she targeted was alcoholism. They held a forum with a local chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous to make community members aware of available services. Because participants were appre- Santa Cru hensive about discussing the subject, Isensee and her partners related that were alcoholics, and they started bringing up related issues like spousal abuse," Isensee said. "It gave them an opportunity to voice concerns and stresses. It was really good for the teen-agers too, because it made them more aware of the tailong about their family members Tarija: ^ Since the number of issues exceeded the amount of time volunteers could spend in each country, Amigos gave birth to a new project: the you^ y ^ * empowerment program piloted this summer in the Dominican Republic. Youth groups were formed and aligned with existing groups in die community. The youth groups worked with the Mother's Club, the Agricultural Club and AIDS education initiatives to form a sustainable force to, solve local problems.

People would constantly bring up the fact the Sooners had fallen from the good graces of college football, and everywhere Calmus turned, it sounded like more and more peo­ ple were jumping off the Sooner bandwag­ on. "You'd actually hear people say that they were becoming Oklahoma State fans because the Cowboys were having more success than _ . . i r c we w ere/' Calm us said of some of the encounters he had at OU I understood it because we hadn't been where this program is used to being, but it was still tough to deal with it. I am just glad that's all over with now." Indeed, the Sooners bandwagon is finally heading in the right direction, and the fans are jumping back on board. After failing to have a winning season since 1993, Oklahoma, the proud owner of six national titles, returned to national prominence by posting a 7-5 record and going to the Independence Bowl behind first-year head coach Bob Stoops last season. . o o u i t n i L With that success, the Sooners sold out every home game a year ago for the fust time since 1983, and the aura of confidence Oklahoma players and fans were used to suddenly returned. t "Everything is very positive now," Stoops said. "We feel like we have made a lot of strives in the right direction, and we just want to continue on the path. That shouldn't be a problem.

With the win, Wisconsin extended its winning streak to nine games, third-longest in the country. Three hours before kickoff, Wisconsin said 26 players had been suspended from one to three games for receiving unadvertised discounts at a shoe store. In the Badgers' first game since the graduation of NCAA career rushing leader Ron Dayne, Wisconsin's offense struggled to produce the methodical drives once led by the Heisman Trophy winner. Bennett got 30 carries but rarely broke into the Broncos defensive and Wisconsin's passing game was erratic. backfield, But Wisconsin's underwhelm­ ing performance can't be attrib­ uted entirely to the suspensions. Only four Badgers expected to play a significant amount were suspended. Receiver Chris Chambers — who's injured anyway — receiv­ er/kick returner Nick Davis and offensive tackle Ben Johnson were the only offensive starters out. All- American Jamar Fletcher and linebacker Bryson Thompson were the missing defensive starters. comerback Eleven of the 26, including Fletcher, Davis, Johnson and Chambers, were suspended for three games for receiving benefits of more than $50(1, school officials said. Another 15 players, including Bennett, defensive tackle Wendell Bryant, comerback Mike Echols and Thompson, were suspended for one game and ordered to do 12 hours of community service. Chambers' suspension could be an especially tough blow' to the team's leading Badgers. The receiver from last season was already sidelined by a stress frac­ ture in his right foot that was expected to keep him out until at least the end of September. School officials aren't sure if he will be allowed to serve the suspension while injured, meaning he could miss more than half the season. "1 think you have tremendous disappointment. You have to feel them,” Wisconsin athletic for director Pat Richter said. We felt this was not warranted."

Agassi stared straight ahead, his eyes clear, his voice firm, and gave all the credit to Frenchman Amaud Clement for ending his reign as champion Thursday, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. "It was just a brutal day," the top-seeded Agassi said as he followed No. 2 Gustavo -Kuerten and two-time champion Patrick Rafter to a quick exit. It has been a brutal summer for Agassi after a brilliant year. From a run of four straight Grand Slam finals and three titles, he .stumbled to second-round exits in the French and U.S. Opens, and a stinging semi­ final loss at Wimbledon. It was a summer when he hurt his back in a car accident and learned his mother had breast cancer, just as With all that, perhaps it was understand­ able that the 30-year-old Agassi would reveal a sense of perspective on his latest loss, saying, "Don't be too sorry," when someone sought to comfort him on the way to the players lounge. When Agassi saw his girlfriend, Steffi Graf, minutes after the match, he smiled and joked a bit, performed a quick dance step with her, their hips bumping, and moved on to chat with other friends. "There are obviously things that are clear­ ly in play," Perry Rogers, Agassi's best friend and manager, said in reference to his mother and sister's illness. "He hasn't had the best summer, and 1 don't think he came in here with the expectation that he would be able to impose his game on his opponents. Agassi didn't even come close to imposing his game on the 37th-ranked Clement, who had lost to him in the French and U.S. Opens last year in their only previous meetings. While Clement bounced jauntily around the court, whacking 36 winners to Agassi's 19, Agassi looked leaden, his feet barely moving, his usually quick hands moving slowly, his shots lacking pace and depth and accuracy. They each made 27 unforced errors, but , Clement's usually came when he went for winners, Agassi's when he missed easy shots that he might normally make with his eyes closed. "It's finding the balance between hitting offensively enough to control the point, but not playing too big," Agassi said. "I struggle with that. Sometimes I played too big and occasionally I just took a little bit off of it. I never found my quality pace shot that allowed me to dictate without taking too many chances. It was a little breezy down there, tough conditions. "Once you start second-guessing your shots, your fee don't respond as well. When the ball's moving around and your feet aren’t adjusting, mistakes are going to happen." Agassi had jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first set, then he simply melted in the muggy heat, losing eight of the next nine games. His body language, with his head drooping his shoulders sagging his eyes wandering indi­ cated the frustration he was feeling. Clement could see it, even through his wraparound sunglasses, and so could the perplexed fans who tried futilely to pump him up. "Good morning!" one fan yelled out as Agassi struggled on in the late afternoon. Truly, Agassi looked half asleep. When asked if his heart was in it, Agassi said, "Yeah, very much." When asked if he was distracted at all, he said he wasn t. When asked if his back bothered him, he said no. If Agassi was hurting, emotionally or physically, he was keeping it to himself. "Just, you know, trying to hgure out how to get to him, but I couldn't do it," Agassi said. "Just got outplayed. ... You've got to give people credit where credit's due.'

"H e's redly been a great surprise for us and he keeps getting better,” coach Brown said. "H e's just one of those guys that finally found that switch and turned it on." "We've got the most depth back here that I've seen since I've been at UT," Greg Brown said.

Women's soccer player Wynter Pero was suspended for two games and ordered to do 24 hours of com­ munity service. All will be required to repay the discounts they received. The school also investigated alle­ gations that some athletes may have exchanged university-issued shoes for merchandise but found no evi­ dence of that so far, said Melany Newby, vice chancellor for legal and executive affairs. A report in the Wisconsin State Journal detailed purchases by eight members of the Badgers' Final Four men's basketball team and 14 play­ ers from the Rose Bowl champion football team. The paper reported players received discounts of 25 per­ cent to 40 percent and interest-free credit. The university and NCAA still have to review the eligibility of win­ ter athletes, who also could face penalties. The NCAA notified the university Monday that 81 fall athletes would be ineligible in various capacities. Richter said the university appealed the finding, and the NCAA then derided to knock down the number of athletes required to serve suspen­ sions and pay reparations to 48. Richter said the university pro­ posed lighter sanctions when they made their initial report to the NCAA, and many of the players told NCAA officials they did not know they had violated any mles. "This was a shock to them, Richter said. NCAA spokesman Wally Renfro confirmed the suspensions but would not comment specifically on the infractions. Shoe Box owner Steve Schmitt said Thursday he talked to universi­ ty officials several times about the discounts he offered players, which he said are extended to all his regular customers. Schmitt has men's basketball sea­ son tickets and has donated money to the university in the past, which would qualify him as a booster under NCAA rules. Newby said the university's inves­ tigation was continuing and the school had not made a recommenda­ tion to the NCAA whether the viola­ tions constitute a major or secondary violation. But the players' transgres­ sions individually were ruled to be secondary. If the purchases constitute a major rules violation, it would be the third such last infraction w'ithin decade for the university. the College Faculty 1/2 Visit our booth on campus and register for your chance to win tickets to Defending men's singles champion Andre Agassi was bounced in straight sets Thursday by Amaud Clement Associated Press TEXAS FOOTBALL NOTES Ending the grind For nearly a month, the No. 7 Texas Longhorns have gotten up early and stayed late. But thanks to the completion of Wednesday night's scrimmage, the preseason grind is over. "We feel good about getting every­ thing done, and now we are ready to start concentrating on Louisiana- Lafayette," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "Right now we just want our guys to rest so that they can get their legs back from all the work they did during two-a-days." The Horns w ill not practice again until Monday in order to recover from their heavy practice schedule, and the Texas skipper even suggested that they kick their legs up and be a couch pota­ to this weekend. "It usually takes 24 to 48 hours for all that soreness to go away," Brown said. "So I told our guys to just watch fi>ot- ball on television all weekend and imagine being out there because they are going to be real soon." Still kickin’ With kickoff now only eight days away, it appears there's going to be only one kicker on the 40 Acres. Kris Stockton, w'ho has been the team's starting place kicker for the past two seasons, will be the Horns' No. 1 punter and kicker when Louisiana- Lafayette comes to town Sept. 9. "H e's still our guy at those posi­ tions," Texas head cóach Mack Browm said. "He has worked very hard, and w'e're confident he can handle both jobs." The decision to allow Stockton to handle both kicking duties came after Ryan Long stmggled last season w'ith his consistency. Long averaged only 39.8 yards per punt, while Stockton averaged 37.7 yards in mostly pooch- type kicking roles allowing just 76.4 yards per game. in the stands will look out on the field and say, 'Who's that guy?"'

The only benefit Nebraska may actually receive from this match-up is a their young defense. fine N ebraska's 10 returning starters on offense will have a chance to get back in sync before its nationally-televised game at Notre Dame next weekend. Nebraska looks to get its 15th straight sea­ son opening win, a streak that currently leads the nation. P r e d i c t i o n : San Jose State's head coach Dave Baldw in has that playing Nebraska is a little daunting, which might be an understatement. Nebraska: 55-6 said Louisiana Tech at ((H)) No. 8 Kansas State (1-0) ■ KSU Stadium, Manhattan, Kan. ■ Fox Sports Southwest, 6 p.m. Tech L ouisiana quarterback Brian Stallw orth's 26-of-31, 332-yard passing per­ form ance last w eek against M ississippi Valley State was impressive, and this air attack will be hard for K-State to contain, especially without starting strong safety Jar rod Cooper. Put the injuries of running back and punt returner David Allen into the mix, and the W ildcats have their work cut out for them . Stallw orth has big shoes to till, replacing quarterback Tim Rattay, and even though he put up big num bers last week against M ississippi Valley, beating Kansas State w ould give him a notew orthy win. P r e d i c t i o n : Kansas State will hang tough, even with its injuries, and with the game Even though Colorado State returns 17 starters and the game is being played at a neutral site, it will still have trouble beating a tough Colorado team that is seeking revenge from last year's 41-14 loss to CSU. That win was the first for the Rams over the Buffaloes since 1986. Second-year Colorado coach Gary Barnett is also still looking for his first win against his team 's in-state rival. In what was the Big 12 North's version of a quarterback controversy, sophomore quar­ terback Zac Colvin has wrestled the job away from junior college transfer Bobby Pesavento. It will be only his second start in his career at Colorado. This game will mark the third and final game of the intrastate series at Denver's Mile High Stadium, as the teams will resume playing the annual contest on campus begin­ ning next season. As of now, the series at Mile High is tied 1-1. P r e d i c t i o n : Colorado will get by the Rams, but it won't be easy with CSU's veteran defense. Colorado: 21-17 Ohio (OO) at Iowa State (0-0) ■ Jack Trice Stadium, Ames, Iowa ■ Fox, 11:30 a.m. The last time Ohio coach Jim Grobe and Iowa State coach Dan McCamey faced each other was five years ago in each other s debut as head coaches. ISU took that game in Ames, 36-21. This time, both coaches have had sev­ eral years to build their respective programs. Both the Cyclones and the Bobcats return seven offensive starters. Senior quarterback Sage Rosenfels returns to the Cyclones offense, but without running back Darren Davis, junior Ennis Haywood, Jr. will have to step up if he hopes to continue ISU's trend of having a 1000-yard rusher five-straight sea­ sons.

P r e d i c t i o n : Iowa State has a rough road ahead with tough Big 12 opponents, so it needs to win this one bad. Iowa State: 24-9 senior quarterback Dylen Smith. Smith is looking to improve on his 1,599 passing yards he had last season. P r e d ic tio n : SMU puts forth a great effort to get the first win in their new stadium, but Kansas squeaks past for the win. Kansas: 17-14 Kansas (0 0 ) at Southern Methodist (00) ■ Gerald J. Ford Stadium, Dallas Western Illinois (OO) at Missouri (00) ■ Faurot Field, Columbia, Mo. Since SMU will be christening its new sta­ dium against Kansas this week, it will be try­ ing extra hard to do it the right way — with a win. With the new stadium comes a new oftense for the Mustangs. Offensive coordinator Larry Kueck changed to a one-back offense this spring to take advantage of experienced receivers and running backs that SMU returns this season. This should scare Kansas, since it returns eight very youthful and inexperi­ enced defensive players. But SMU will have to contend with Kansas eight returning offensive starters, including Missouri will try to get its season-opening win against Division I-AA Western Illinios before it goes on to face two tough non-con­ ference opponents in Clemson and Michigan State. The Tigers are debuting a new aerial pass­ ing attack, which will be hard to do without top receiver Travis Garvin, who was sus­ pended for this game for violating undis­ closed team rules. The Leathernecks start with a 23rd overall ranking among Division I-AA teams, and they are trying to improve on last season s 7- 4 record. Associated Press P r e d i c t io n : Missouri will nab the home win, even without Garvin, giving them possi­ bly its only win of the season.

Slocum could have a hand in the demise of one of his friends Saturday, as the Aggies travel north to take on Notre Dame. You see, Irish coach Bob Davie and Slocum have been friends ever since Davie left his position as Texas A&M defensive coordinator in 1994 to join the Irish. After last year's 5-7 finish, a disappointing 2000 cam paign could mark the end of Davie's tenure in South Bend and the pressure will be on from the start.

Utah State ((H)) at Texas Tech (1-0) ■ Jones Stadium, Lubbock Missouri defensive end Justin Smith against Western Illinois in both team s’ season-opener. leads his team Associated Press Texas Tech running back Ricky W illiams partly blamed himself for the amount of times quarterback Kliff Kingsbury got up with turf in his facemask on account of missed blocks in the Raider s 24-3 season- opening win over New Mexico last week. But Williams may soon grow tired of his reduced role in Tech s new offense, one brought over from Oklahoma by first year head coach Mike Leach. Williams, who was the nation's fourth-leading rusher in 1998, is being called upon to block more than rush under the new scheme. Against New Mexico last week, Williams rushed only 15 times — nearly half as many as his 1998 average. Williams will have another chanct to return to his sophomore form against Utah State. if Leach allows Prediction: The Aggies of Utah State should pose no problem to Tech, though Utah State linebacker Brent Passey could send Kingsbury looking for the smelling salts if the blocking doesn't get better.

The Miners are in trouble, and the problem boils down to simple arithmetic. When UTEP travels to Norman, Okla., to face the Sooners, they'll see an offen­ sive scheme that its defense is ill-equipped to handle. OU will put three, four, and sometimes even five receivers on the field at once, while UTEI regularly puts eight men in the box, leaving only three in the second­ ary. With Sooners quarterback Josh Heupel poised for a big day, the Miners may have to spend the whole game in their nickel package. Prediction: This game shouldn't be interesting to even the crustiest Sooner, but boredom and all, Oklahoma should roll. The Heupel air show should rival the Blue Angels. Oklahoma: 45-10. Balyor opens with 20-7 win over North Texas " By The Associated Press DENTON — Coach Kevin Steele started to talk about some of the things Baylor did wrong, then he stopped and pondered the positive result. The Bears won. Elijah Burkins turned his first three carries into a touchdown and Baylor went on to beat North Texas 20-7 Thursday night in the season opener for both teams. The Bears ended a six-game losing streak overall and won on the road for the first time in three years. "This is a huge step, the first win of the season and the first road win in a long time. This is momentum build­ ing," Steele said. "Our guys have confidence and if we keep working, we'll get better." Baylor was 1-10 in Steele's debut, , i . j u .r but opened his second season by beating the only team it beat last year. Burkins, a senior who got a med­ ical redshirt after injuring his right ankle in the third game a year ago, didn't touch the ball until the first play of the second quarter. He had three straight carries up the middle for the final 31 yards of Baylor's first touchdown drive. After gains of 18 and 9 yards, he scored from the 4. The Bears had a 17-0 halftime lead after Adam Stiles kicked a 46-yard linebacker Kris field goal, and Micheaux followed just 21 seconds by returning a fumble 14 yards for a touchdown. "All 1 know is I picked up the ball, had beautiful blocking from guys around me. The next thing I know 1 was in the end zone celebrating," said Micheaux, a senior who scored his first career TD. a Q p n io r w h o SCO! North Texas, which hasn't beaten Baylor in the 11-game series that dates to 1922, began coach Darrell Dickey's third season with another loss after a five-game losing streak to end 1999. The Mean Green had four turnovers. Baylor was 1-10 last year in coach Kevin Steele's debut season, includ­ ing six straight losses after the 23-10 victory over North Texas. North Texas didn't score until freshman quarterback Scott Hall took over and led a nine-play, 80-yard drive that ended on Aaron I lolly's 2- yard TD run on the opening play of the fourth quarter. Hall completed passes of 22 and 29 yards just before the score. . . .

The film drags. It feels like the ending will come here and then here, but it ultimately comes there. After the double feature, QT dis­ cussed the films with the audience. The overall reception appeared posi­ tive, but rarely does someone strike up a debate with him at these festivals. In the lobby of the Alamo Drafthouse, Austin film luminaries such as Mike Judge and Richard Linklater hung around thoughts. Everyone, even QT himself, played the role of the fan. to share their As a special bonus, Tarantino pre­ sented a midnight film that had noth­ ing to do with the Italian crime motif. The last film of the evening was Hickey and Boggs, a 1972 crime drama starring I Spy duo Bill Cosby and Robert Culp. Now this was a treat. The film, though a bit too complex for its own good, is a tremendously inventive and entertain­ ing police story. Following two private eyes chasing bank robbery loot and die cons that lifted it, Hickey and Boggs is the kind of movie the QT fests were made for. IP s obscure enough that many in atten­ dance have not seen it. Yet it's enter­ taining and draws on enough pop cul­ ture references — Culp and Cosby, in amazing performances — to make one's mind feel comfortable. The Italian Crime Film night was the very best of what Tarantino's annual festivals deliver. He presented compelling crime stories that would have likely been unnoticed by most of the audience at the Alamo and most of the film audience in general. Thanks to QT, we now know that Italian crime films appropriately pack a punch. But to an even greater degree, we now know that Cosby and Culp should make another crime film together q>on — Matt Den tier Wednesday, Aug. 30 For those of you who can't fathom what spectral brain swapping and flesh-eating pygmies have to do with Quentin Tarantino's movies (not to mention how they fit his taste), Wednesday night's Italian Epics retro­ spective offered the closest thing to a clue you're ever likely to hear. First off, Tarantino loves Italian movies, especially the ultra-violent crime films that overran the nation's cinema in the early 1970s. Believe it or not, those pre-Woo bullet ballets hearken back to more innocent times, when epic Herculean adventure the screen. Seems movies ruled Tarantino has been using this year's fest to give fans a scrambled Italian film history. Wednesday night's lineup showcased the sword-and-sandal pic­ tures (The Huns and The Giant of Metropolis) that gave birth to the spaghetti western genre (primo exam­ ples Arizona Colt and They Call Me Hallelujah screened Thursday night), whose writers spun off to direct anti­ mob crime films (Tuesday night's bill) which in turn begat the goretacular Italian horror and thriller pictures (fea­ tured last Saturday). Good luck identifying any direct effects of these fantasy elements on his films, though Tarantino admires The Hum filmmaker Sergio Grieco enough that he actually samples a quick scene from another of his movies in Jackie Broum.

Punks Director: Patrik-lan Polk When: Today, 7 p.m. Where: Arbor Theater A quick study of the Los Angeles gay scene reveals a meat market overrun by bleached blond buzzcuts and rib-knit muscle monkeys. It's no wonder the queer quartet in Punks, the first feature by Patrik-lan Polk, gravitates towards Miss Smokie's drag dive. As they see it, West Hollywood (or "WeHo" to its denizens and derelids) is "full of white boys where sexy chocolate is not on the menu." Thing is, they might just as easily be describing all of Hollywood. Taking four very alternative personalities as its focus (a spunky Latino and three blacks, one of them a transvestite diva), Punks tips the radal imbalance in queer filmmaking with a charming mix-and-match roundelay. A little heartbreak here, a little infatuation there, everything you'd exped from a straight screwball with the sass bumped up a notch. Curiously enough, this significant expansion into a multi-ethnic gay depiction presents black characters who still come across like the same pack of tired old Anglo queens from movies like The Boys in the Band. Don't exped something like Gayz in the Hood. The name "punks" coopts an epithet for their sexual bent while the movie gently widens the lens on the gay experience in a manner safe for all Brter Debruge audiences, regardless of race or sexual preference. . . . Urbania Director: Jon Shear When: Sunday, 9:30 p.m. Where: Arbor Theater Urbania follows its hardened anti-hero, Charlie, through a dark rught in the dark dtv streets. The film is imbued with a shadiness, both visual and fig u ra tiv ere only light points are scenes from the past of Charlie with his ex-lover, Chris. They frolic smile cuddle — C h a r l i e doesn't seem like the same character. In the present, he harbors a sadistic disdain for, well, people in general. After receivmg an invita­ tion to the apartment of a handsome young soap opera actor, Charlie visits the guy only to intimidate and chastise him. He's ungrateful and mean-spinted toward his friends and everyone else around him. On this particular night, Charlie is obsessed with finding a seedy man with a snake tattoo, who is present in the scenes from his past. This, and all of his other actions, seem inexplicable. We get the feeling that he is searching, but for what we don't know (until the end, of course). An urban legend motif is present in tire film, furthering the themes of uncertainty and distrust in Urbania. It begins with a vari­ ety of people telling the "This happened to a friend of a friend of mine' brand of stories, and the film escalates to an urban legend of its own. , , , ,, , . The narrative is fragmented and confusing, but everything, as it should, falls together in the end. Allow me to assure you, you will come away from Urbania feel­ ing depressed and questioning the supposed inherent goodness of mankind^The film evokes very strong emotions — mainly the negative ones, but they're strong — lul Thomas nonetheless. , Meet with Cap 6emini Ernst & Young University of Texas September 5 MBA Info Session, Omni Hotel 6-8 pm • September 11 UG Info Session, Alumni Center 6-8 pm • Sept. 18 Natural Sciences Career Fair • Sept. 19-20 Engineering Expo • Sept. 21 UBCA Career Expo Sept. 22 Eyes on lexas Career Fair • Sept. 23 tailgate Party • Oct. 18 UG Campus Interview Day • Oct. 19-20 MBA Campus Interview Days • • • '' Austin Concert Listings 09/01 Ray Wylie Hubbard at Cactus Cafe Tunji at Mercury Lounge W.C.

Mag and Maureen's invectives should have the rhythms of a love-hate familiarity, despite their emotional estrangement. Jones always captures an emotional honesty with her character, but unfor­ tunately, her tenuous Irish brogue fre­ quently squelches the audience's sus­ pension of disbelief when her Texas twang wrestles its way out. Emotional accuracy may often be more important than verbal exactitude, but here the two are inseparable. David Florek plays Pato Dooley, Maureen's love interest, with gravity and soulfulness. However, his charac­ ter is the least defined and has little to do but look ingenuous. His broth­ er/messenger Ray, overplayed in the extreme by Guy Chandler Roberts, is featured more prominently on the page, but not to the ridiculous extent that he imposes himself on the audi­ ence here. 1 dreaded every time his to open his character was cued mouth. Every action and gesture was hammy and grating. Roberts seemed is Johnny Rotten extenor and affect­ ed braggadocio. Presumably, director Don Toner intended this as a culture clash, Ray as the foil to the antiquated existence of Mag and Maureen. This doesn't seem obvious or implied in McDonagh's text, and strikes a disso­ nant noise in an otherwise harmo- nous 4-note chord. certain distance, There's quite a bit to recommend about the State Theatre's Beauty Queen. Good plays can often carry themselves a and Martin McDonagh has written a very strong play, which has an instantly memorable character with Mag. His dialogue is sharp and spare and has a distinct tra­ jectory from veiled hostility to indis creet verbal brutality. As Mag, Patricia Goldwater raps her bitter maw around McDonagh's language almost effort­ lessly. The other actors are less success­ ful and add to the production schi/o phrenic feel. If asked if the play is a dark comedv, the answer would be, as Mag would say,"l don't know it it is or if it isn't." Joined In a moment of laughter, Grace (Brenda Blethyn) and Matthew (Cralgh Ferguson) named Honey). Burdened by repos­ session woes and personal defeat, Grace decides to take matters into her own hands by helping her grounds­ man, Matthew (Ferguson) with his pot-growing hobby. Equipped with a serious green thumb, Grace decides to grow her crop hydroponically and thus hasten the budding process, whereby Matthew can make the necessary exchanges needed in order to gamer a profit and thus repossess the mort­ gage on Grace's manor. It's pure hokum, to be sure, but hokum laced with enough glee to go down nice and smooth (it's no sur­ prise that Saving Grace won the audi­ ence award at this year's Sundance Film Festival). There are a few prob­ lems along the way, namely a subplot which finds Grace dealing with her husband's extramarital affair. It's rather distracting and casts an unnec­ essary dramatic weight to proceed­ ings which are otherwise piffling.* The real delight comes from Blethyn and Ferguson, who, in facing the moral and legal ramifications of their gardening venture, make a deft comic team (Matthew to Grace: "I m hip! You're hip replacement!") of young and old. It's also nice to see Blethyn, who has a penchant for play­ lamentable characters, ing infuse Grace with a charm that recalls an Absolutely Fabulous Mary Poppins. As Grace and Matthew's joint ven­ ture begins to permeate the town, hysterics ensue as each of the quirky characters (remember: in movieland, no British Islander is ordinary) have variant reactions to the cannabis. Funny? Yes, but Saving Grace eventu­ ally plateaus and gets carried away in a fantastic fit of whimsy that's hard to swallow. Still, how many reefer come­ dies have the distinction of actually possessing a large degree of class? Saving Grace does, and all with a healthy drag of fits and giggles.

Not me, but three cheers to the makers of Saving Grace for blowing new life to the prim-and-proper sensibilities of the standard British comedy. This giddy debut from director Craig Ferguson takes a gimmicky premise — two friends conspire to grow a secret marijuana crop in order to repay a debt — and mines it with the grace of previous hits from abroad like The Full Monty, but without sacri­ ficing the obvious contemporary implications of the reefer flick (the inevitable munchies gag, brazen stu­ pidity of the characters). The result is a silly but affable caper that infuses a modem sensibility into a genre usual­ ly distinguished by its eloquence. Kudos to Ferguson (who also stars) for casting Oscar magnet Brenda Blethyn (Secrets and Lies) in a role that showcases ample comedic talents rarely seen in her previous dramatic turns. Blethyn plays Grace Trevethen, an emotionally distressed widow who, aside from dealing with her husband's death, must also deal with his financial and extramarital legacies (which include a massive English manor and a six-foot-tall floozy That's "QT" as in Quentin Tarantino Here for his fourth film festival, which began last week and continues on through Sunday, the acclaimed director with eclec­ tic, if not downright bizarre taste, screened a series o f old Italian crime and epic films last Tuesday and Wednesday. Here's our take on what happened: Tuesday, Aug. 29 Italian Crime Films Italian Crime Films was perhaps one of themes of "Q T Quattro' that made the most sense in the collection of the man who made Reservoir Dogs. On Tuesday, activities began with Quentin Tarantino declaring with delight that what the audience was about to witness was a night he had been looking forward to. Expectations were definitely high, as one of America's modem masters of the crime film was going to present some of his inspiration. QT decided to present a double fea­ ture of films directed by Femando Di Leo, whom he likened to an Italian John Woo (The Killer, Hard Boiled). But unlike Woo's over-the-top and stylish use of Hong Kong blood and bullets, DiLeo gets to the point. He uses vio- J¡i7u n More Games • M ore Variety * M ore Fun! Welcome Back Students!

In other words, QT was warning the crowd that the films about to be shown would be insanely gruesome and vio­ lent. With a promise like that, from a filmmaker such as this, you can't help but feel elated. The first of the double feature was DiLeo's 1972 film, Shoot First . . . Die Later. The story of a cop who might be hiding more than meets the eye, Luca Mirenda stars in this involving and complex drama. There was plenty of action, including an impressive car chase sequence, and even a few scenes that were a bit too disturbing to take. One such scene features a pair of henchmen stuffing an innocent kitten inside a plastic bag tying it shut and leaving it for dead. As cold as the blood may have been in the film, there wasn't a whole lot of it. Contrary to Tarantino's promise, Woo's films are tn P in S fit often much more violent than Shwt m n n p v r in lp n t F irst. . . Die Later is. QT proposed the idea that many of the concepts in these Italian crime films predate those of the Hong Kong variety. This proved cor­ rect, though the volume of blood and bullets involved was considerably lower. The second film in the double fea­ ture was DiLeo's 1973 crime epic, Wipe Out!, starring Henry Silva (Ghost Dog, Alligator). Silva portrays a hired assas­ sin who finds himself caught up in a plot to save the daughter of a promi­ nent mafia man. Double-crosses and bulletholes follow in a film that yield­ ed more of the action-packed assault QT had warned us about. Wipe Out! proved that DiLeo does know how to See QTIV, Page 14 SUMMER FILM CLASSICS Jack Nicholson Double Feature krww.austin99s.com Interested In Aviation?

Oast not suited for each other Visually splendid ‘Beauty’ can’t balance dark humor and drama The Beauty Queen of Leenane W riter: Martin McDonagh Director: Don Toner Sh ow in g at: The State Theater By Ben TroWnger Daily Texan Staff As the stage light pierces the dark­ ness of the State Theatre and illumi­ nates the dank interior of the rural Irish cottage on stage, the audience is con­ fronted with the cadaverous and ancient figure of Mag Folan (Patricia Goldwater), a mean old crone if ever there was one. A'tall slender w oman in a raincoat enters the doorway on far Stage right. Mag asks, in abbreviated Irish patois, "Wet, M aureen?" "Of course, wet," rejoins M aureen (Jill Parker-Jones), Mag's 40-year-old proge­ ny and primary caretaker. With this minimal exchange, both characters are instantly established as adversaries, not so much by what they say but how they say it: Mag with her hatefully pursed lips, Maureen with her jerky and hostile countenance. The story is set entirely in the rustic cabin, with its faded picture of Robert and John Kennedy and small crucifix hanging on the wall. The stage design by Richard M. Isackes is so hauntingly realistic and lived in you can feel dead skin being stirred with each howling draft. The environment is effectively claustrophobic, especially w hen one knows that a bucolic Irish landscape lies outside. Maureen has lived in Leenane with Mag all her life save one disastrous stay in England years ago. Maureen is at the demanding Mag's "beck and call," but she frequently exacts subtle (and not so subtle) measures of revenge. Their coexistence is a constant struggle for power, a theme that pops u p fre­ quently playwright M artin McDonagh's impressive body of work. Here, in this rendition, the power play is more between the actors than the char­ acters. All seem to be acting in other plays. in Martin McDonagh's Tony award- w inning play, The Beauty Queen of Leenane is certainly a tonal high-wire act, and if the production crew «isn't careful, the feel of the play can be wild­ ly uneven and strip the work of its emo­ tional weight. This comes w ith the tragicomic territory. Mag is the tone-set- ter which, in turn, makes her the most problematic character. If she isn't cast and presented carefully, her character can unloose the bearings of the play. Ultimately this pitfall besets The State Theatre's production. Mag, as played by Goldwater, is far too lovable — a cantankerous golden girl. On the page, Mag is no Lady Macbeth, but there's a certain ambigui­ ty to her character. Is the audience sup­ posed to like her or hate her? Viewers should be split Some might empathize with her helplessness and others might be appalled by her domineering hold on Maureen. Here, die audience (a largely septuagenarian crowd) seemed to side unanimously with her. And why not? Goldwater's performance is bril­ liantly charismatic and precise. Every physical gesture builds the character and every line is delivered with impec­ cable timing. But as strong as her per­ formance is, it doesn't gel with the other characters.
