Lon Bumam was a UT student, the University had yet to be completely desegregated. He strongly remembers two sets of water foun­ tains and two sets of bathrooms at the University — one for whites and the other for "coloreds." Although the University slowly evolved to welcome all ethnic groups, some reminders of a less-enlightened period still remain, Bumam, D-Fort Worth, said. Namely, foe Confederate leaders on foe South Mall. They are a "symbolic tip of the ice­ berg" of the racism that permeated and, to some extent still affects our culture, he claimed. statues of the "They're a constant reminder of foe historical rejection of people of color," Bumam said. "And most white stu­ dents never notice it." Because foe statues themselves blend into foe landscape, they're easy for those untouched by racism to miss, he said. However, he has talked with African Americans who are quite disturbed by foe past they repre­ sent. "My ancestors were put through slavery and they fought to be freed, and now we have to walk around and see statues of those who were work­ ing to keep them in slavery," said Joseph Silas, a psychology sopho­ more. "We don't want to 9ee that while we're walking to class. I think they should be removed." Thus, Bumam filed House Bill 953 which would do just that — remove foe statues of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, JoRn H. Reagan and Albert Sidney Johnston from foe South Mall. All men have ties with Texas. of Davis, foe president Confederacy, and Lee, commander of foe Confederate army, are two of foe best known figures of fixe Gvil War. John H. Reagan was post master of foe confederacy and Albert Sidney Johnston, a Confederate general bom elsewhere made his home in Texas. Bumam said he knew before he filed foe bill that it had no chance of passing as originally filed, because he knew no one would vote to remove foe statues. "I wanted to put a statement out there," he said. "Sometimes you almost have to do something outra­ geous to get people's attention to something that you think is really out­ rageous that people have just come to accept." He has since worked out a substi­ tute for foe bill that simply mandates that flxe University accurately identify and note the historical context of foe statues and the original intent of foe South Mall layout that has been all but forgotten, Bumam said. At the turn of the 19th century, George Littlefield, a former general in foe Confederacy, played a crucial role in financing and influencing the design of the University in its infancy. He commissioned artist Pompeo statues of sculpt Coppini Confederate leaders for foe South Mall. A conflict between the artist and Littlefield ensued. to According to From Dawn to Sunset, written by Coppini, the artist was reluctant to create statues only of Southern war heroes as he felt that foe Gvil War would be seen "as a blot on Sm STATUES, Page 2 mmi Wm Wm ?: j| g| -f ! w | VOL. 101, NO. 1JÜ' Grayson McDaniel, a Plan II senior, takes a break under the statue of Albert Sidney Johnston located on the South Mall.

Pittman Daily Texan Staff The University's 7,000 staff members will have one voice w ith which to speak to the UT adm inistration about their many concerns at the UT Staff Council's first-ever meeting next month, UT officials and staff members said Thursday. After a lengthy and sometimes arduous for­ mation process, the Staff Council is set to hold its first meeting in late May after its 70 repre­ sentatives are elected by staff members in two weeks. M odeled after the long-standing Faculty Council and Student Government, the Staff Council will be the first elected advisory panel to represent the interests of all staff to the UT administration, said Kyle Cavanaugh, associate vice president for hum an resources. "It's a w ay for the staff to participate in the governance of the University, something they haven't had the opportunity to do before," said Cavanaugh, who has led the effort to cre­ ate a staff advisory council. See STAFF, Page 2 10,000 freshmen expected for summer, fall New freshman groups to accommodate large numbers By Melissa Drosjack Daily Texan Staff The University is preparing for about 10,000 freshmen to flood the campus this fall, including up to 1,600 admitted for the summer. More than 8,000 students were offered admis­ sion for Fall 2001. After these openings for fall were filled, 1,600 applicants were offered summer admission, 800 of which are expected to accept Unlike the forma* summer provisional pro­ gram, in which students were required to take 12 hours of pre-determined courses and maintain a 2.25 grade point average, these students would receive full summer admission. "This is regular admission, it's just that they have to start in the summer" Walker said. "We believe we can serve more freshmen this way because the students that come in the summer will be beyond the demand of freshman courses in the fall."

See Entertainment, Pages 14-16 Wfay' SPf Pro-choice display outside Gregory Gym Display meant to counter Justice forAU display Kristin Carlisle Daily Texan Staff Since Justice For All, an anti-abortion student group, set up an 18-foot exhibit in February displaying aborted fetuses, the issue of freedom of expression has received heightened attention on campus. Beginning today, a pro-choice organization, Action for Abortion Rights, will set up a week-long display outside Gregory Gym to counter ideas presented at foe anti-abortion rally while UT students and professors are planning a forum on freedom of expression. "We believe foe best way to answer speech is not to censor foe speech but to respond with more speech," said Collin Bost, English senior and president of Students for foe ACLU, one of foe organizations that will be involved in foe forum titled "Amplified Voices." Demise Jones, a member of Justice For All, said the group brought the issue to such prominence because abortion is some­ thing that has to be discussed. "I think people should be able to speak about what they feel strongly about...," Jones said. "We go to a public school, and we should be able to express ourselves." Bob Jensen, an associate professor of journalism who is help­ ing organize foe upcoming forum on Thursday from 6:30 p.m to 9:30 p.m. in foe Flawn Academic Center, said foe University has too much discretion in deciding how it can enforce rules of free­ dom of speech and assembly. The UT Board of Regents' Rules and Regulations state that activities of freedom of speech are "essential to intellectual devel­ opment," but foe activities should not "interfere with ... aca­ demic programs." It was this rule that prompted UT Police Department officers to seize a bullhorn that Mia Carter, an associate professor of English, was using to protest foe anti-abortion exhibit, injuring her in foe process. "An academic community should be a place in which its members can safely engage in discussion and debate — even in acts of non-violent civil disobedience if a situation calling for such a response so arises," Carter said.

While many business schools have reported increases in applications as former dot.com hopefuls try to gain creden­ tials and job security with m aster's degrees, the UT graduate business school has received nearly 300 fewer applications than it had at this time last year. Matt Turner, M.B.A. program admissions director and assistant director of foe graduate school of business, said stu­ dents m ay be turned away from attending graduate school because of foe recent high-tech layoffs and business closures. "We think that since some of foe M.B.A. program 's strengths are high-tech and entrepreneurship, and a dot.com start-up is all about foe high-tech industry and entrepre­ neurship, people who aren't interested in a start-up compa­ ny might think graduate school is not for them," Turner said.

The program is based on similar programs at the University of Washington, University of Oregon and the University of Missouri at Columbia, Alvarado said. "We looked at those programs, which have been in existence longer and used good things from each of those to make up a concept of our own," Alvarado said.

Jamie King Belinne, associate director of the M.B.A. career services office in the Ford Career Center of the business school, said she has noticed a radical change in students' plans involving start-ups over the past year. \ "Last year, when we spoke to the incoming M.B.A. class, nearly three-fourths of them planned to start their own business or work in a start-up," Belinne said. "This year, when we asked, only 2 percent raised their hands." However, Deborah Trominski, a business graduate student, said students don't feel dis­ couraged about working at small high-tech com­ panies. Trominski is president of Austin Power, a student organization which allows M.B.A. stu­ dents to connect with small high-tech businesses in the Austin area through numerous activities, including weekly tours and happy hours with different companies and their employees. "I don't think there has been a decrease in interest, but I think it is just that there is a decrease in the number of Jsmall high-tech com­ panies]," Trominski said. Trominski said since there are fewer compa­ nies looking for employees, competition has become much stiffer than it was last year when students had multiple job offers — something that is not happening this year because of the slowing economy. "[People] just don't foresee that explosive growth," Trominski said. "It's just not the eupho­ ria that was a year ago."' Belinne said start-ups are no longer seen as the easy way to riches. In addition to the calming of the wave of peo­ ple founding high-tech businesses, the Austin economy has suffered over 7,000 layoffs, 6,000 in the high-tech last September, according to a report by the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce. industry alone, since Turner said the business school is accepting applications until May 15, so the total number of applications could change. "We think that we might see a last minute push in applications as people reconsider their career options," Turner said. However, Turner added that the recent Motorola and Dell layoffs may have also prompt­ ed people to re-evaluate their career paths. Mike Maher, spokesperson for Dell, said although the company is hiring fewer people, there is still a need for employees in the high-tech industry. "We hire based on needs, and with a softness in the economy there is a softness in our hiring," Maher said. Panel to accompany pro-choice display DISPLAY, from 1 A portion of Thursday's forum, including an interac­ tive panel discussion, will focus on the rule prohibiting the use of bullhorns and how it can be modified to not interfere with free speech. UT President Larry Faulkner issued in March an apol­ ogy to Carter for the injury she sustained. - "The University police serve with great difficulty in such situations, and in my experience, they are dedicated to protecting our academic society's values and its safe­ ty," Faulkner said in the apology. "Their most immediate need is for greater clarity concerning our expectations in situations such as that the one encountered in this case." Jennifer Hixon, history sophomore and member of Action for Abortion Rights, said their exhibit is not designed to be offensive or use graphic photos but to instigate debate on the abortion issue. "We are taking a totally different approach than [JFA's] whole sensational approach, and we are trying to appeal to people on a rational level," Hixon said. Hixon added that while she disagreed with the mes­ sage of the Justice For All display, she does not think it should have been censored. "I think that if we are going to say there is freedom of speech, we are going to have to allow the speech that is offensive ... it's a gray area," she said.

John Ahladas, curator at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Va., said the statues were created during a period of the nation's history when Southern cities were producing a great deal of Confederate art. "Civil war soldiers were dying off and there was a renewed interest in the Confederate experience," Ahladas said. He added that the many Confederate monuments featured prominently in most Southern cities are a constant reminder of the Gvil War, making it dif­ ficult to ignore. "Some folks object because they real­ ly feel that deep down inside that this is offensive, and it's not something that they want to be reminded of," Ahladas BENCHM A R K R E S E A R C H Are You Suffering From A Benchmark Research and local physicians are recruiting patients for an investigational antibiotic research study for Urinary Tract infections (UTI).

The present gener­ ation sees a work of art differently than previous generations had or even future generations will. Therefore, tire statues should be treated as permanent histori­ cal artifacts, Ahladas said. As an example, Egyptian pyramids are symbolic more for their grandeur and aesthetic than for their original reli­ gious and social uses, Ahladas said.

Furthermore, Confederate leaders were not as personally active in the slave trade as many consider them to have been, he said. Von Roeder explained that Lee didn't have any slaves, ¿though his wife had a few slaves but eventually freed them. Jefferson Davis possibly had a single house slave and Littlefield thought well enough of his servant to be buried next to him, he added.

R N l g w X THE FIRING LINE Say no to Sodexho is Kevin Miller questioned the impor­ tance of recent protests against Sodexho-Mafriott by stating that the relationship between private prisons and UT concessions is too distant. I believe, however, that the connection is quite clear and more than just symbol­ ic. Sodexho Alliance, the owner of largest Sodexho-Marriott, investor worldwide in private prisons, and 50 cents on every dollar made by UT concessions goes directly to Sodexho Alliance. The easiest solution to this dilemma is for the University to run the concessions at sporting events. This university should oppose the human rights violations of private prisons, and I believe that even one dollar given by UT to Sodexo-Marriott is one too many. the John Nation Plan II sophomore Cancel the con tract The South Mall camp-out was organ­ ized in order to raise awareness for the rally /march on the (then) upcoming National Day of Action Against Sodexho-Marriot on April 4. For every dollar we spend on concessions at a UT athletic event, 50 cents goes to Sodexho Alliance. Soon, after SA purchases the rest of.SM (it has filed with the Security and Exchanges Commission in order to do so), every dollar earned by SM will go to SA. Presently, SM makes up 52 percent of SiA's total revenue. SA is the world's largest investor in private prisons, owning 15.5 percent of Corrections Corporation of America, 100 percent of UK Detention Services, and 100 per­ cent of Corrections Corporation of Australia. These private prisons com­ mit a multitude of human rights viola­ tions. We have an obligation as human beings to be socially responsible. As students we should b e critical of our University's investments and fulfill our obligation by pressuring our administration and athletic council to drop SM and choose a socially respon­ sible concessionaire. Students at other Universities (Evergreen, SUNY. Albany, James Madison University, and Goucher) have succeeded in their campaign to cancel contracts with SM. This approach appears to be working; SA has said in CCA. it will divest However they have yet to set a date. Through our actions we can make that day come soon. Brazos Price Undeclared sophomore Student-run concessions Our University has an obligation to find an athletic concessionaire that is "socially responsible." While that term can be debated, it certainly doesn't include companies owned by the world's largest owner of for-profit prisons — prisons that skimp on such frills as "rehabilitation" and "medical - care" in order to house more non-vio­ lent drug offenders and turn a bigger profit. Kevin Miller asks who can we possi­ bly contract with when we have such high standards? How about not con­ tracting. The University successfully ran concessions at athletic events prior to 1995 and employed students while doing it. Sounds like a de%l to me. Bob Libal Communication Studies/government sophomore Vice president, Students for Sensible Drug Policy P rotest indeed guided Kevin M iller's criticism of the Sodexho protest is a common one. However, what must be understood is that the corporation's ties to one anoth­ er are not just simple "partial owner­ ships," as Miller perceives. (if For example, Sodexho Alliance is not just a "partial owner," rather it is the largest institutional investor of the pri­ vate prison industry in the world. And even though now only half the money earned by Sodexho-Marriott goes to Sodexho Alliance that's not enough), Sodexho Alliance has recent­ ly filed papers to purchase ALL of Sodexho-Marriott. If we are going to be shelling out another $4.5 million on our next UT athletic concessions con­ tract, as students we should 1) have a substantial voice in whom we choose, 2) be granted a reasonable amount of transparency by the University in their dealings and 3) contract with a socially responsible company. Sodexho is not socially responsible and the University has not complied adequately to our demands. We should reserve the right to determine where our money goes. Jordan Dees Sociology sophomore Destruction of freedom When I passed the Freedom Wall last night on my way to the library, my first feeling was astonishment. I didn't understand the motivation of the attack. I knew there was tension between many of the groups on cam­ pus surrounding the conflict in Israel. I also expected something to happen, but I didn't expect it to happen to the Freedom Wall. The Freedom Wall doesn't have any to me at all. political meaning Although it is definitely influenced by the Exodus and the relating holiday, I see it as a representation of Freedom as a whole. By attacking the Wall, the pef- petrators were obviously attacking the principles behind it. Do théy hate free­ dom of speech, freedom of religion and even freedom from oppression? That is the message they sent to me. It disgusts me that there are people out there like that. For if people do not have any freedoms at all, then they are as good as dead. Is this the message the vandals wish to send? If so I pity them. We all have freedom, we mustn't be too ignorant to acknowledge that fact. Michael Hantler Philosophy Junior Graffiti won’t help cause To the misguided rapscallion who graffitied their "anti-Sodexho" senti­ ment all over the bus stops on Dean Keaton and 21st, your actions are con- demnable. There are legitimate means of attaining political influence at UT and writing on other people's posters is not one of them. Businesses invested a lot of money in their advertisement campaigns only to be marred by your pathetic attempts at raising awareness of UTs ties to the private prison indus­ try. If our administration wishes to continue to invest in a Drug War spon­ soring corporation, so be it. It is still not your place to graffiti your opinions on other person's property. Why don't you go back to camping and stay out of other folk's business?

GUEST COLUMN THE FIRING LINE T h i Daily Texan Monday, April 1 6, 2 0 0 1 Paga 5 Nationalist fervor present in flag debate By Richard Buchhob Guest Columnist A whole lot of heat is being generated these days by people arguing about flags. It's alm ost to the poin t w here the anxious among us are beginning to worry if all the hot air m ight be yet to global another con trib u tor warming. A m erican con serv ativ es feel that our national banner needs special protection. They plan to rewrite the C onstitution so that the United States can join the ranks of countries like Iraq and C uba flag-bu rners send straight to the penitentiary. that D ie-hard Southern "h eritag e" types want the rest of us to smile at their in-your-face Confederate flag displays and to believe in their m ythology that says the C ivil War was not about slavery. They claim their flag represents "trad ition ." Some tradition. And now — who w ould've thought it? — LSU finds itself sm ack dab in the m iddle of two fractious factions of Chinese stu­ dents in full flag feud. In the one corner we have the Chinese Student Association, whose dis­ p lay of Taiw an's the In tern atio n al C u ltu ral Center (ICC) set off the current brouha­ ha. In the other corn er is the C hinese Students and Scholars Association. The CSSA represents the m ainland C hin ese and is threatening to leave the ICC in p rotest of Taiw an's flag being perm itted to fly. flag in Although the United States and m ost other co u n tries do not acknowledge the reality for diplo­ m atic reasons, there are in fact two governm ents of China. One is in Beijing, on the m ainland, and the other is in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. Both governm ents agree that there is one China and that Taiwan is a province of it. The sticking point is the question of which governm ent is the true the Chinese rep resen tativ e of people as a whole. Beijing claims this title and so, traditionally, has Taipei, though in recen t years there has been some support on the island for a declaration that RETAIL the province is an independent country. By many objective m eas­ ures, Taiwan already has charac­ teristics typical of independent countries. It has its own currency. It has its own armed forces. Its p eople elect their leaders, at least in recent years, in free elections. And yes, it has its own flag. So w hy all the hullabaloo at LSU ? Because to some people, flying the flag of Taiwan is tanta­ m ou n t of Taiw anese independence. a d eclaration to That this is a hot issue is evi­ dent from the spate of letters that have been appearing in the Your Views section of the Reveille. One m ainland Chinese student wrote th at the question of Taiw anese sovereign ty is "a m atter every C hinese is willing to shed blood for." T his kind of nationalistic fervor is, to me at least, d ep lorab le. P eop le can com plain all they w an t about Am erican stu dents bein g apathetic, but even apathy has its positive side. Im agine the follow ing: in a foreign university, the flag of the Puerto Rican inde­ pendence movement is displayed alo n g sid e flag. Would anyone (with the possible excep tion of Jesse H elm s) find this objectionable? W ouldn't the typ ical American student reaction be to say "ho hum "? Would any­ one in his right mind w ant to go b allistic over the m atter? the A m erican On top of my wish list for the 21st century is the fervent hope that people finally evolve beyond "m y country — rig h t or the w ron g" stage.

First, Glinski .claims that Mr. Saldivar's Friday a bizarre metaphorical analogy of third-world nations being comparable to virginal women. Leaving aside the fact that this is a completely inaccurate quoting of Saldivar's article (he was referring to hand-wringers like Glinski), I am appalled that our self-appointed PC police would perpetuate this supposed "stereotype" by allowing it to be men­ tioned again. Similarly, how dare I or any other author bring up China's horrible record of human rights abuses? It is in poor taste, apparently, to point out that China (or their government, if one wishes to employ semantics) forces late trimester abortions on women to con­ trol their population, persecutes Christians and other religious citizens and bloodily crushes any voice of dis- sention that dreams to speak or gasp political change. China is a culture and a history, and these events are a signifi­ cant part. By the way, Mr. Glinski, gleaning a surplus of billions of dollars because one's nation uses near-slave labor and pirated intellectual property is not a trade relation, but something very ugly indeed. As far as I can tell, Mr. Glinski's episode revolves around the fact that the tender sensibilities of China have been hurt by a few university students and staff members daring to point to a nation's flaws. In this country, we value and cherish such criticism; the free flow of criticism of the government is what improves our society and engenders progress. If we surrender that to the naysayers of political correctness, we risk becoming a nation not unlike China, ruled by fear and controlled by force. So, let the snipping and com­ plaining from those like Glinski come true; Americans should welcome it. Dan Ham ilton History and sociology senior There ARE colors In April 12's Firing Line, Donald Thompson, in response to an editorial about needing an affirmative answer for campus diversity, said: "If you want it (the University) to be 'racially diverse' then you are silly because we are all humans, just with slightly differ­ ing appearances." Mr. Thompson, in a perfect world you would be right. But back in reality, American reality in par­ ticular, you couldn't be more mistaken. "Pretty" people earn more than "ugly" people (read Dr. Hamermesh's The Economics o f Beauty if you don't believe me), and it is hard to deny that being good looking helps out socially as well. Men earn more than women (yet they are both humans, right?). Income levels also matter, if only because "richer" people, by definition, have more opportunities. You mean to tell me that skin color is exempt from this kind of social treatment? Have you taken History 315L yet? Does slavery ring a bell? Do you really think that the Equal Employment Opportunity Act is redundant? Recognizing that race plays an important role in a person's quality of life is the first step to approaching the "race issue" in this country. If we know that minorities are underrepresented on campus, we can do something about it. Statistics based on skin color are not exercises of bigotry but rather truths about what it means to be black, Hispanic, white, etc. in our society. Recognizing that there are colors is the first step to fight racism, or at least the consequences of it. So, open your eyes, Mr. Thompson, colors do exist. Silvia Ellis Economics senior A legitimate crusade As a member of the Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) campaign against UT's concessions contract with Sodexho-Marriott, who also camped out on the South Mall for three nights, I am slightly put-off by the excuse- making some fellow students have done, giving Sodexho-Marriot some benefit of the doubt and criticizing our demonstration's legitimacy. Their catering service arm is not at all removed from their operations in the exploitative private prison industry. The Sodexho-Marriott provides over half the revenue for its parent compa­ ny, Sodexho Alliance, the largest insti­ tutional investor in the private prison industry, as well as holding a seat on the board the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA). A of renewal of the concessions contract will result in revenue being produced for a parent company that exploits the voiceless prison population with inferi­ or services and sweatshop labor. Four other universities saw fit to end their Sodekho-Marriott contracts with because the awareness raised about its socially objectable dealings by the stu­ dent activists. I refuse to put my money into a company that trades human rights for dollars and advocates a failed drug war that is inherently rascist. If others don't seem to care about those issues, then they wouldn't care who gets the contract, so they shouldn't step on our efforts if it's all the same to them. Adrian Geraldo Saldana Kinesiology senior Yeah, exactly From a letter in Thursday's Texan, Compromise needed, stating that selling arms to Taiwan "... would force China to expand its own missile arsenal, caus­ ing a potential arms race." Well, knowing as we do what the aim of the Bush "administration" is, don't you think that is exactly what they are planning? Arms races are very good for defense industries, those loyal contributors to the Bush campaign. Even now, they are building new plants and locating in new areas because, thanks to their influence buy­ ing, business will be good now. Welcome to government by the highest bidder. M . R.

Johnson Library and Museum, after being moved from the Harry Ransom Center April 1. The Bible will be part of a free exhibition that will run from May 3, 2001 to May 3, 2002. Alan K. Davte/Daily Texan Staff T he Daily April 16, 2001 U niversity UT treasures moved for exhibition By Rachel Stone Daily Texan Staff About 170 of the University's most valued treasures received a temporary new home last week. The objects were relocated from the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center to the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum for installation in an exhibit titled, "From Gutenberg to Gone With The Wind: Treasures from the Ransom Center." The free exhibition will run from Mav 3, 2001 to May 3, 2002, and me ludes such objects as the Gutenberg Bible and the world's first photo- graph. Those two items are always on dis­ play at the Ransom Center, said Sheree Scarborough, a spokesperson at the Harry Ransom Center, but the rest of the items are only on display occa­ sionally. This is the first time all the objects have been on display at the same time. Thomas Staley, director of the Ransom Center, said the opportunity to have the objects on display together is a rare one. "I think what's so wonderful about this exhibit is that it brings together for the first time the treasures of the Ransom Center which we've never been able to do before," he said. "Because of the expanse of the LBJ Library, we are finally able to bring them together for the first time." The exhibit spans history from as long ago as the 1450s, the decade in which the Gutenberg Bible was print­ ed, up to the 20th century. The Gutenberg Bible is one of only five in the United States. "But it goes way beyond that with the works of Thomas Pinchen and J.D. Salinger and it gives people a wonder­ ful opportunity to view the great cre­ ative works of the 20th century and beyond," Staley said. Along with the display of the famous "curtain dress" worn by Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind, screen tests from the movie will be played. The timing of the exhibit coincides with a reconstruction of the first two floors of the Ransom Center Building, said Cathy Henderson, a librarian at the center. "The LBJ Library kindly offered exhibition space so that we could have the things on display during the reconstruction period," she said. items Other the exhibition in include paintings by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Manuscripts in the exhibit include those written by authors such as William Blake, Geoffrey Chaucer, James Joyce, Charlotte Bronte, Walt Whitman and Arthur Miller. School of Journalism searches for director By Kate Gaither Daily Texan Staff The School of Journalism will hold interviews through Tuesday in hopes of finding a new director with a strong aca­ demic and professional background. School officials said they hope the director will compliment the higher profile of UT journalism, which they believe will result from the renaming of the Department of Journalism to the School of Journalism earlier this semester. "We are looking for someone with a very strong journalis­ tic career," said Rosental Alves, a journalism professor and head of the search committee. "Ideally, we want someone with a very strong academic career as well, who can join us as a director and teacher." Current Director Stephen Reese, who has been a faculty member since 1982, will continue to teach at the University and is ready to step down, he said. "It's time for someone else to have some fun with it," he said. Reese added that the school is looking for someone who can balance many issúes and communicate effectively with journalism professionals and the University. The finalists include Peter Brown, editor of the inside sec­ tion of The Orlando Sentinel; Ford Bukhart, editor of the foreign desk of The New York Times; Janet Keefer, dean of the School of Journalism at Drake University; and Joan Barrett, vice presi­ dent of management, recruitment and product development at the Broadcast Image Group in San Antonio. Of the finalists, Brown, Bukhart and Keefer have already visited. The search committee will then convene and decide whether they agree on one of the existing candidates or wish to continue the search. Keefer said it would be an honor to work at the University. "I was pleased to be in the running and considered a final­ ist because UT has a wonderful reputation and a great jour­ nalism department," she said. "I had a good time when I vis­ ited, and the faculty, administrators and students were great." The three other candidates could not be reached or declined to comment. Alves said although the School of Journalism is looking for a new image, the search committee would have considered applicants from the University. However, he added, no UT faculty members applied. Alves said there is no deadline for hiring the new director. Makeywr | parents happy. GotoscM this summer. (They’ll be amazed how smart you are.)

Compiled by Eric Garza, Dally Texan Staff UC-Berkeley retention centers to quit recruiting By The University Wire DAVIS, Calif. — Just as campuses across the University of California system have mailed out acceptance letters, some recruitment and reten­ tion centers at UC-Berkeley have announced that they will actively discourage underrepresented stu­ dents from attending the university until the UC anti-affirmative action policies are repealed. The Cal groups, including the Bridges Black Student and Raza recruitment and retention centers, announced prior to the UC Board of Regents meeting in March that if Standing Policy 1 was not repealed, the organizations would not partici­ pate in calling or hosting admittees. Additionally, the centers said they would send out letters discouraging students from attending Cal. "By actively discouraging stu­ dents from coming here, we have made a commitment to tell them the truth in any contact we may have with them from now until SP 1 is repealed, demystifying the reality of being a black student in a place that cannot provide adequate resources and support to ensure a successful academic experience," said Bridges Black Students Executive Director Brett Bryers in an opinion piece for The Daily Californian, the Cal student newspaper. News of the centers' active dis­ couragement policy comes as the university is attempting to beef up its K-12 outreach programs in order to make more students eligible for admissions and ultimately increase the number of admitted underrepre­ sented students. While legislators were unhappy that minority representation in die UC system has decreased since affir­ mative action ended, UC spokesper­ son Brad Hayward said the univer­ sities have made progress. Systemwide, die proportion of minorities in the overall pool of ' admittees is up 17 percent over last year, he said.

The method, w hich will becom e avail­ able at the Houston laboratory on April 18, uses mitochondrial DNA, which is considerably more resistant to degrada­ tion than nuclear DNA, which is what conventional analysis methods use. laboratory “M itochondrial DNA comes strictly from the mother," said Joseph Mathew, D N A technical manager. “There are thousands of copies per cell. Because of their circular shape, they stay longer than nuclear D N A ." M athew added that because of these factors, m itochon d rial DNA outlasts nuclear DNA. Although mitochondrial DNA analy­ sis is performed in a few private labora­ tories in Texas, Harris County7s lab is the first governm ent laboratory in the state to use this analysis. M itochondrial DNA can be obtained from skeletonized bones and small sam­ ples of hair, blood, saliva or teeth. “We grind the bone," M athew said. "A nd, u sin g . som e chemicals, we can break the cells and the DNA comes out." Bodies are identified by comparing the unknow n person's m itochondrial DNA to the DNA of a know n person. Dr. Ashraf M ozayani, chief toxicolo­ for H arris C ounty M edical gist E xam iner's Office, said mitochondrial DNA helps to identify bodies if DNA from the mother, a m other's relative or a sibling is available for comparison. Nuclear DNA testing, which is less expensive, is used when a parent or child of the unknown person is available for comparison. “If somebody died in the middle of the field and you don't have a dental record or anything else to confirm identifica­ tion, but you have DNA from the m oth­ e r's side, you do mitochondrial DNA analysis to identify the body," Mozayani said. "In an investigation, we always have to have som ething to compare to be sure that it is matching. " The medical exam iner's office will use m itochondrial DNA testing for civil and criminal cases, though the focus of the technology is on body identification. "D efinitely w e're going to give priori­ ty to criminal cases, but if we have a body we want to identify, we will use this lab," Mozayani said. The laboratory's staff has been trained by the FBI, whose own mitochondrial DNA lab has performed 300 mitochondr­ ial tests since opening in 1996. In addition to the mitochondrial DNA analysis, the Harris County laboratory has purchased a Short Tandem Repeat analysis instrument, which is state-of- the-art in nuclear DNA analysis that will decrease the waiting period for analysis from over three m onths to less than one week. technology R E M E M B E R I N G TDH study says cancer costs Texas $14 billion every year By Sarah Snyder Daily Texan Staff A study released last week by the Texas Department of Health reported that cancer costs Texas nearly $14 bil­ lion a year in lost productivity and direct medical costs. The study, based on 1998 data and conducted for TDH by researchers at the Lyndon B. Joh n so n School of Public Affairs, began in 1999 and took eight months to complete. Emily Palmer, TDH assistant public information officer, said the study is the first based on Texas data alone rather than from estimated national data, which in 1988 estimated the cost to Texas to be $4.4 billion. Mard Spivey, information specialist for the TDH Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, said while an increase in health costs has occurred in the past ten years, the results of the study surprised TDH officials. "I think that everybody had expect­ ed the number to be above $4.4 bil­ lion," Spivey said. "But I think it was still pretty amazing to see how high it was." Total costs for the four most preva­ lent forms of cancer were estimated at $2.2 billion for lung cancer $1.2 billion each for breast and colorectal cancer and $445 million for prostate cancer, according to the report. Spivey added that current statistics are the most valid because TDH was able to focus on Texas-specific cancer studies for the first time. "Part of the reason the [TDH] want­ ed the study done is to get Valid num­ bers," she said. "Part of the anticipation is being able to use valid numbers." Palmer said the current statistics will allow communities to plan for cancer costs. "I think it will be a real eye opener to communities to see how much it takes out of their economic base," Palmer said. "This report should call us all to redouble our efforts to avoid this dis­ ease by living wisely." According to TDH reports, cancer is the second most common cause of death in Texas, accounting for 23 per­ cent of all deaths in the state. Heart dis­ ease is the most common cause of death for Texans. Palmer added that in 1998, 247,000 Texans expérienced some sort of dis­ ability because of cancer. "That is a significant number of peo­ ple that will be touched by cancer and that doesn't even include [victims'] families," Palmer said. David Warner, the Wilbur J. Cohen Fellow in Health and Social Policy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs, was part of fhe team that participated in die study. He said the report was able to be more comprehensive because hospital utilization data was available for research. Billy Phillips, chair of the Texas Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition, said the study gives com­ munity members an indication of how cancer affects Texas economically. "We all know firsthand the human costs of cancer, and now we know the dollar values of losses this disease works on the economic viability of Texas," Phillips said in a statement. He added that the report is signifi­ cant because it gives communities an impetus to raise awareness and initiate including preventive measures encouraging Texans not to smoke, to eat well and to get screened regularly. The U.S. Center for Disease Control reported in 1998 that half of all men and a third of all women will develop cancer in their lifetimes.

Museum officials said while the museum is not the only historical museum funded in part by the state, they're trying to present a comprehensive glimpse of Texas history. "This is the official state history museum, and I think i f s something that all Texans will be proud of," said Rick Crawford, executive director of the Texas State Preservation Board. The outside activities at the grand opening will include re­ enactments such as battles fought in Texas, a site for artisans to exhibit their wares, a tent dedicated to Texas agriculture and a stage for music. Crawford said he isn't sure about how many people to expect at the opening. "W hat we're concerned about is if 20,000 people wrere to show up, the museum could only accommodate about 4,000, so we're hoping to provide activities outside," Crawford said. The Texas Legislature appropriated $80 million for the construction of the pink granite structure, but once the museum opens, i f s expected to raise the $5.5 million annu­ ally it needs to operate, Crawford said. Inside the museum, three floors house exhibits ranging from early Spanish colonization to Texas music and sports, an IMAX Theater and the Texas Spirit Theater — a special effects presentation about events in Texas history. The museum has no permanent collections of artifacts and relies on over 100 Texas institutions — including some from the University — to loan items for display. "Part of our job is to highlight other museums through our exhibits," said Lynn Denton, museum director. Current displays include Neil Armstrong's space suit, William Barrett Travis' tetter from the Alamo and artifacts from fhe LaSalle shipwreck. With no permanent artifacts on exhibit, displays will come from other museum collections and will change frequently. Several parts of the museum allow visitors to interact with the exhibit, including small theaters that provide audio-visu­ al material to view artifacts. Denton said interactivity with exhibits allows visitors greater access to information about museum items "partly because it appeals to so many age groups and it allows us to deliver information without people having to read a big thing Denton said. The building commemorates Bob Bullock, a Texas politi­ cian who served as lieutenant governor from 1991 to 1999. The museum, which will open its doors to the public April 21, is located on North Congress Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Exhibit admission is $5 for adults, $4.25 for seniors, and free for children under 18. it's here. that's right, it's. here, the biggest party on cam p u s, w e 'v e got over 100 student organizations represented, w e 'v e got local bands and national bands, heck, we even have free prizes, yes. free prizes, and they're better than the kind you get from filling out credit card applications using fakes n a m e s (what, you think they d on 't know your nam e isn't anita man?), so, anyway, it's here, just so vou know, and just in case you w an ted to find out more (we figured you might), every th in g you could ever w ant to know can be found right here: wwwA0acresfest.com ■ 7 p.m., WGN Chicago Cubs at Philadelphia Florida at Atlanta................... 6:30 p.m., TBS Tuesday TEXAS CALENDAR THUMBS UR THUMBS DOWN SOFTBALL at Baylor Waco* Getterman Stadluin 1:30 p.m BASEBALL vs. TCU Arlington The Ballpark in Arlington 7 p.m 4 New volleyball coach Jerritt Elliott: With the turmoil the team saw in its first losing season ever, capped by a disappointing offseason where the Longhorns lost two of their best players, it is reassuring to see a young and exciting coach like Elliott come to Austin.

The Daily Texan Monday, April 16, 2001 Page 11 Squeaker Bagw ell homers, but falls short with chance to tie in 6-5 loss to St. Louis By The Associated Press avoided a three-game sweep. nine-game trip. ST. LOUIS — J.D. Drew got his first big hit of what the St. Louis Cardinals hope will be a breakout year. Drew's tiebreaking home run in the sixth was the difference in a 6-5 victory over the Houston Astros as the Cardinals ended a three-game losing streak on Sunday. He has four homers, but was bat­ ting just .200 before con­ necting off Jay Powell (0-1). "It's a long time coming, I guess," Drew said. "It was a lit­ tle bit of a rocky start, but I feel like I'm having some good at- bats and seeing the ball pretty well. I got ahold of a good one today." Manager Tony La Russa said he's seen positive signs lately from Drew, who platooned in right field last year but has played pretty much every day this season. Four of his seven hits have been homers, but he's connected in three of his last four starts. "When I see a couple of line- drive singles to left, I'll feel even better," La Russa said. "But he's getting to be more of himself. He's getting dangerous again." Pitcher Andy Benes had a three-run double and rookie Albert Pujols had three hits to extend his hitting streak to nine games for St. Louis, which Jeff Bagwell went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer for the Astros (8-4), who failed to match the best franchise start after 12 games. Bagwell missed a chance to tie the game in the ninth. With Craig Biggio on third and no outs, Bagwell grounded to third base and Pujols threw Biggio out at the plate. Pujols was 3-for-4, scoring twice, and is 17-for-33 during his hitting streak. He's batting .429 overall with a team-leading 12 RBIs. Mark McGwire was l-for-4 with a single in his sixth start of the season and is 2-for-21 on the year. Benes gave up five runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings. Astros starter Jose Lima allowed five runs and seven hits in five innings. Mike James (1-0) got one out for the win and Steve Kline got two outs for his first save. Astros manager Larry Dierker made contact with home plate umpire Scott Higgins, who said pinch hitter Julio Lugo had gone around on a two-strike pitch. " I don't have to look at a replay," Dierker said. "Their stated goal is to get the call right. If you don't see it, you ask for help. "If he saw that, he was seeing things." Bagwell's two-run homer, his fourth, gave the Astros the lead in the first. He's ll-for-20 in the first six games of H ouston's Eli Marrero had an RBI single in the second for St. Louis, but homer Lance Berkm an's restored H ouston's two-run lead in the fourth. Benes' three-run double was the big hit in the Cardinals' four-run fourth against Lima, with Edgar Renteria also getting an RBI double. Dierker said it was Lima's "worst pitch of all." "It was a fastball that most of the time would be a groundball to third base for a double play, but he got the wood on it," Lima said. "You have to give him credit." Benes walked the Nos. 7 and 8 hitters with two outs in the sixth, reliever Mike Mathews walked pinch hitter Darryl Ward to load the bases before Jose Vizcaino hit a two-run sin­ gle to tie it at 5. ■ Notes: Fernando Vina is 4- for-25 for his career against Lima. ...

By The Associated Press 26 points SEATTLE — Michael Finley scored and Dirk Nowitzki added 22 points and 15 rebounds as the Dallas Mavericks outlasted the Seattle SuperSonics 107-99 in overtime Sunday night. Nowitzki hit a fast-break dunk for a six-point lead with 44 seconds left in overtime, and Finley hit two foul shots with 33 seconds left for the final margin. Gary Payton led Seattle with 23 Eoints and 13 assists, Rashard ewis had 17 and Emanual Davis and Brent Barry each scored 15. Shawn Bradley had 10 points and 13 rebounds for Dallas, and Juwan Howard finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds. The Mavericks led by at least nine for most of the second half. But the Sonics pulled within two in the final 30 seconds on a 3-pointer by Barry and a putback by Desmond Mason, who was fouled and sank the free throw. Finley hit two free throws to put Dallas up 93-89, but Payton answered with a fast break layup with nine seconds left. Howard Eisley made one of two free throws and Payton was fouled by Eisley on a spinning 3-point attempt with 2.9 seconds to go. Payton hit all three free throws for trie 94-94 tie, and Nowitzki missed a 3-pointer at the regula­ tion buzzer to send the game into overtime. The Mavericks (51-29) pulled within a game of Utah in the race for the fourth seed in the Western Conference playoffs. The Jazz lost 107-100 the Minnesota to Timberwolves on Sunday. ■ • 1C SPECI O N E D A Y S E R V I C E F R E E I N S P E C T I O N 4 5 0 - 1 5 7 0 5 5 2 8 N .

Instead, it is a celebration of love and creative inspiration set in 1900 — the film's original release date — at the infamous, gaudy and glamorous nightclub Parisian Moulin Rouge. It's only fitting then that Baz Luhrmann — infamous for his gaudy, glamorous films like Strictly Ballroom and William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet — is at the helm, bringing together period design and modem-era pop tunes to create the world of Moulin Rouge. The story stems from the Orphean myth of a young poet-musician who descended to the underworld to lead his wife back to the upper world, but who ultimately failed. According to Luhrmann, "It's a myth about idealism and adulthood, and the recognition that life throws up things beyond our control: the death of loved ones, relationships that don't last." The Orphean hero in the film is Christian (McGregor, who plays the kind of lovesick, obsessive • hero role typically awarded to Ralph Fiennes), whose love affair with the courtesan Satine (the Cruise-less Kidman) ends in tragedy.
