Today, under the warm Texas sky, we’re all here again to point with pride to a new building with a fine name upon it.” — George W. Bush, U.S. president and former Texas governor Bush dedicates state museum on brink o f 100th day in office By Eric Garza Daily Texan Staff Just days before he would receive critiques of his first 100 days in office, U.S. President George W. Bush returned to Austin to dedicate the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum before an invitation-only crowd of about 3,000. In his speech Friday, a break from recent tests in US.-China relations and from pushes for his $1.6 trillion tax cut, Bush recalled former Texas Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock. "Twenty-two months ago we stood in the rain to say goodbye to Bob Bullock," Bush said. "Today, under the warm Texas sky, we're all here again to point with pnde to a new building with a fine name upon it." Bush said the only decision that Bullock may have dis­ agreed with was the decision to place his name on the muse­ um. "That's just too dam bad," Bush said. "We have no choice but to overrule him ... To a great building like this, telling the story of Texas and standing right here in the center of the state's capital, the only name to give it is Bob Bullock's." The president's visit was part of a celebration to com­ memorate the $80 million museum's grand opening, which took place Saturday. Bullock, the 38th lieutenant governor of Texas, had a polit­ ical career that spanned nearly 40 years. He served in the Texas Legislature in the late 1950s, was Texas secretary of state from 1971-1972 and Texas comptroller from 1974-1990 before becoming lieutenant governor in 1991 and remaining so until 1999. Bullock, who is often credited for the proposal of a state history museum, gained interest in the project after many visits to other state history museums. Joining the president with remarks of praise for the late Bullock were Lt. Gov. Bill Ratliff, Speaker of the House Pete Laney, Gov. Rick Perry and Bullock's w ife, Jan. "The museum is a fitting tribute to the larger-than-life man whose memory we honor today," Perry said. "Bullock not only left an indelible imprint on the Texas of the present, but passionately loved the Texas of our past.' Jan Bullock spoke about the former lieutenant governor 's UT online service offers alternative to Co-Op buybacks TEXbooks lets students post ads, search fo r books By Melissa Drosjack Daily Texan Staff Following Texas Textbooks' announcement Tuesday that it was going out of business and the University Co-Op's acquisi­ tion of Bevo's Bookstores about two weeks, ago, students may need to find an alternate book buyback source in upcoming weeks. As a solution, the Texas Union and the Department of Computer Sciences are sponsoring wwvTEXboóks.com, a Web site on which students can post ads to sell their books, receive e-mails when books are posted and search by department to buy other students' books — and die services are free. Books that are posted for more than one semester are automatically deleted. . Students may visit www.TEXbooks.com to buy or sell textbooks. Brent Cook, Texas Union Web master and computer science senior said the site offers com­ petition to the Co-Op's used book prices. "This is a good way to try to beat the Co-Op's prices to get better prices for your books," Cook said. "It definitely gives the Co-Op a run for the money on used book prices." Cook said the service is intended for UT students, but there is no check within the sys- tem to determine whether users are from the University. y View every book posted. y Post your own books for sale.

With execution looming, McVeigh remembered by Lamar professor Wright: Oklahoma City bom ber ‘straightforward’ ‘endearing’ By Sarah Snyder Daily Texan Staff As the countdown continues for the execution of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, a sociology professor at Lamar University recalls the encounters he had with the domestic terrorist as an advisor to his defense team. McVeigh is set for execution by lethal injection May 16 in Terre Haute, Ind., for bombing the fed­ eral building at Oklahoma City. He was on trial for the bombing when he met Stuart Wright. "From the first time I met him, he was very straightforward about the bombing," Wright said of his first McVeigh in November 1995. interview with Wright said McVeigh consid­ ered the bombing — which killed 168 people, including 17 children — a victory.

See DEDICATION, Page 2 Amber N ovak/D aily Texan Staff Dedication o f Bob BuUock history museum attracts peaceful protests By Amber McAnally Daily Texan Staff About 150 people shouted "Hail to the Thief " near the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in protest Friday as President George W. Bush dedicated the building. The protesters gathered at 17th Street and Congress Avenue, about two blocks from the museum's entrance, to remind the country that they consider Bush's * election illegitimate. "I'm here as someone who thinks the president should be elected and not selected," said Austin resident Greg Audel. "This guy is a fraud. The Supreme Court appointed him as presi­ dent, and that's not how we do it in this Country." Environmental and consumer activist Paul Robbins said he thinks Bush has a tendency to exaggerate statistics to manipulate the media. "Most politicians spin the news a little bit, but he's the most shameless I've seen in years," Robbins said, adding that Bush surrounds himself with "clapping trained seals" to applaud prepared speeches. Sonia Santana, spokesperson for the Democratic Coalition, a group of labor, civil rights and environmental organiza­ tions that helped organize the protest, said she was also involved in the protest of Bush's inauguration Jan. 20. "He wasn't our president then, and he's not our president now," Santana said. "Bush is an illegitimate president.

Amber Novak/D aily Texan Staff 40 Acres Festival unites campus and community Student booths, rides and music among activities By Amy Westerman Daily Texan Staff Ida Juarez, a history senior, was surprised when she found herself at the top of an elevated platform preparing to slide down a rope to the other side of the South Mall. "I thought, 'What am I doing up here?"' she said. "And I said, 'Something challenging,' which was good. I didn't even think twice." The zip line was part of the UT Army ROTC booth at Saturday's annual 40 Acres Fest, which drew more than 20,000 people. Juarez, who also attended last year's festival, said the number of student organizations — about 100 7— created an atmosphere where every­ one could find something to dou "It's fun. There's everything here, and it's / good time for everyone," Juarez said. "You qan even dunk your organic chemistry professor, which is what I'm going to do now." Around the campus, the Women in Science booth sold Erlenmeyer flasks of candy, Sigma Pi held tricycle races Matt Renney, finance senior, and Carla Horrilleno, marketing junior, take a ride on a fer­ ris wheel during 40 Acres Fest on campus Saturday. The ferris wheel was one of many aciivMiet and rides provided at the festival. Thomas Meredith/Daily Texan Staff aitd attendees took their pictures with Bevo at the Silver Spurs exhibit. Phu Tran, co-chair of 40 Acres Fest and communication studies junior, % said the event is the spring semester's largest and allows students to learn about registered student organiza­ tions, which get a chancé to raise funds. "I think the most important factor is it unifies the entire campus and stu­ dents, and then to have fun and pro­ mote their organizations," Tran said. Among the new features of this year's festival was a ferris wheel, which raised about $700 for an endowed scholarship in memory of Glenn Maloney, an associate dean who passed away in 1999. Tran said she thought this year's festival drew a more diverse crowd than past events because the 40 Acres Fest committee worked to attract peo­ ple from outside the University such as high school students. "We encompassed a lot more of the Austin community this year," Tran said. Tran added that this year's headlin­ ing musical act, Soul Asylum, helped attract and keep people at the event longer. The Equestrian Team had a stick- horse steeplechase, in which people rode stick-horses and jumped low hurdles. The group also allowed peo­ ple to meet one of their horses, Snippy. ‘ Heather Smith, Equestrian Team vice president and undeclared liberal arts freshman, said the team had a booth at the fest to promote their organization and to let people know they need all types of horse riders. "A lot of people don't know about us," Smith said. Smith added that she felt they had been successful at the fest in raising awareness about the club. "It's been good," Smith said. S ee 40 ACRES, Page 2 *m£m 2 Tn c D a ily Tkxan Monday, April 30, 2001 the Edge Britain w t to and 11 m i . last call for alcohol LONDON — Britain’s tradition- soaked pub culture is set to see its biggest change in decades — an eas­ ing of the nation’s strict 11 p.m. last call for alcohol, a government minister said Sunday. The longdebated licensing change to allow pubs, bars, restaurants and stores to sell alco­ hol later — and per­ haps around the clock — is slated to be one of die first acts of Prime Minister Tony Blair’s government if it wins a second term of office this sum­ mer, officials said. While it may seem counterintu­ itive that keeping pubs open longer will minimize prob­ lems with drunken­ ness, the Home Office argues that the current limit encourages binge drinking before clos­ ing and causes chaotic crowds of revelers to spill into the streets all at once, straining nighttime law enforcement. “Our proposals will deal with the antiquated and bureaucratic licens­ ing system and modernize it,” Home Office Minister Mike O’Brien said. “They will give business greater freedom, protect local resi­ dents, help the police deal with law and order and give the public more opportunities to socialize.” Blair’s chief politi­ cal rival, the Conservative Party, decried the announcement as a cheap attempt to grab votes ahead of the national elec­ tion, planned for early June. “How typical and opportunistic of Labor to revisit this in the run-up to the election,” said Ann Widdecombe, a sen­ ior Conservative law­ maker. By The Associated Press Bush’s critics, supporters rally at museum’s dedication PROTESTS, from 1 There was fraud in Florida." Austin resident David Wittie of Adapt an organization that focuses on providing communi­ ty services for people with disabilities, attended foe protest with 14 other group members to inform people that Bush hasn't given an executive order to implement the Supreme Court's Olmstead Decision, which said that unnecessary institutionalization of people with disabilities is discrimination and that people should receive services in their homes in the community if they choose to do so. "People with disabilities have foe right to live in the community with support services," Wittie said. "Bush has reneged on his promise to activate the Olmstead Decision. This is one more message to him that we're not going to let him get away with not keeping his promises." But Austin resident Joanne Karis stood in sup­ p o rt of Bush's presidency with about 13 others. "Despite radical, left-wing protesters, middle America supports Bush," Karis said. "There was nothing illegitimate about it at all I'm sick of peo­ ple saying that he didn't win foe popular vote when we have an electoral college system in this country. The electoral college has protected this country for generations." Jongsong Lee, president of foe Austin Taiwanese Association, a community organiza­ tion for Taiwanese Americans, said he wanted to say "thank you" to Bush for his service to Taiwan. "Bush sent a dear and unambiguous message to China to prevent future confrontation," Lee said. "It is encouraging for us that we have a pres­ ident who is committed to bringing security to the Asian region. That will help foe people of Taiwan have peace of mind." Citizens were barricaded from foe museum walls at an approximate distance of two blocks on all sides. Terry McMahon, assistant chief for foe University Police Department said foe police had very few problems keeping a peaceful environ­ ment. "They've got a right to dedicate their museum, and foe protesters have a right to protest," McMahon said. "We're just here to make sure that everything is peaceful" Toni Chovanetz, a public information officer for the Austin Police Department, said APD made no arrests.

Thomas Meredith/Daily Texan Staff Students discuss ethics behind McVeigh’s sentence MCVEIGH, from 1 "He speaks purely from a military tactical perspective," Wright said. "He did not expe­ rience remorse, and he won't experience remorse. " The "successful mission" McVeigh accom­ plished, Wright said, was a result of his anger regarding the federal government s raid on the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco April 19, 1993. A fire destroyed the compound, killing 80 people, 17 of them children. Exactly two years later to the day, on April 19, 1995, Wright criticized the government for how the Waco incident was handled, and, on that same day, the Oklahoma City federal building was bombed. In 1995, lead defense attorney Stephen Jones invited Wright to advise the McVeigh defense team because of his past involve­ ment in researching the Waco incident. "When the bombing occurred on the sec­ ond anniversary of Waco, I had an editorial in the W ashington Times that was basically a warning," Wright said. "It made me look like a prophet I guess." In 1995, Wright published the book Armageddon in Waco, which criticized the government's handling of the raid. "We just didn't buy what the government was telling us," Wright said, adding that the government exaggerated the situation and overreacted. "I've seen government raids on communities before." Of all his accounts — in November 1995 and February 1996 and a final informal con­ versation before the trail concluded Wright said McVeigh's explanation of why he wanted to take human life was unforget­ table. "I asked him why he didn't blow up the building at night to be more symbolic," Wright said. " I'll never forget his answer. He said, 'Buildings don't impress the govern­ ment. The government can replace buildings. You have to have a body count.'" However, Wright suggested that McVeigh may have had remorse over taking the lives of children. "I think if you cornered him, he would have had some remorse for the kids," Wright said. Wright said McVeigh did not come across as a dangerous man and that he resembled many of the young men in his sociology classes. "The funny thing is he has a boyish quali­ ty about him and he is quite endearing," Wright said. "Yet you have to [consider! that he's supposed to be the worst domestic ter­ rorist we've ever known.”' Tamara- Strain, a government junior, said she agrees with the execution of McVeigh but doesn't like the media's handling of the event. "I don't think there's anything wrong with him being executed," Strain said. "I don t think it should be a media circus." However, Jordan Buckley, a sociology sophomore, said he disagrees with the exe­ cution of McVeigh. "The reason we are punishing him is because we agree as a society that killing is wrong," Buckley said. "It's hypocritical that we want to kill him for killing other people." Bob Bullock remembered as mentor, friend DEDICATION, from 1 unbridled love for the state of Texas and its history. "No one had a deeper pride and joy in Texas than did my late husband Bob Bullock,' she said. It is a bittersweet moment that he isn't here with us today to dedicate foe museum which is named in his honor." Bush said Bullock served as a mentor to him and would often offer him words of advice. He added that Bullock was among the first to tell him that he would one day be president. "I can't help thinking how much he would have loved to hear 'Hail to the Chief' played here in Austin," he said. "The last 97 days I've done my best to take the values I've learned here in Texas to foe debates in Washington. There's a way to go, but I think we're making some progress." While Bush and his supporters say he has been suc­ cessful in bringing a new bipartisan air to Washington, D.C., Democrats are not so sure about his success in doing so in the first 100 days. "We don't talk, we don't negotiate, we don't really collaborate and work together on these policies," said House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo, to The Associated Press. "It's really been more of the same— my way or the highway, in the Congress every day on every issue." Despite various opinions about Bush's current tenure, Becky Elizondo, a psychology senior, said the ceremony was an important event. She added that while some Austin residents may have been disap­ pointed that it was invitation—only, an open ceremo­ ny would have undermined the spirit of the dedica- tion. "I think it's better that the public couldn't attend his visit," she said. "If they could attend, they would have gone just to see foe president, not foe museum itself. It would have taken away from what foe cere­ mony was all about."

With a contract deadline looming at midnight Tuesday for Hollywood writers, foe fate of scripted television shows and movies hangs in a bal­ ance. If foe writers walk out, foe first vic­ tims would be daily soap operas and late-night variety shows, followed by sitcoms and hour-long dramas if a strike drags on. "It might be foe winter season before foe public starts seeing a lot of new shows,", said Doug Lieblein, a writer-producer on foe CBS comedy Yes, Dear. Studio officials and leaders of foe Writers Guild of America are engaged in last-minute negotiations aimed at closing a nearly $100 million gap in their demands. Both sides have said they are will­ ing to compromise — but only a little. "The notion, which has been offered by some, that foe gap between us can possibly be bridged by simply meet­ ing in foe middle is ill-informed and, unfortunately, a nonstarter for us," DreamWorks SKG studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg said. Walkout fears have strained Hollywood for months, with studios preparing for a dead zone in produc­ tion by rushing film shoots and trying, mostly in vain, to stockpile scripts. Not only is Tuesday foe last day of foe writers union's contract for its 11,000 members, but agreements for foe two performers' unions — foe Screen Actors Guild and foe American Federation of Television and Radio Artists — expire on June 30. Back-to-back strikes could devas­ tate foe entertainment industry by delaying the TV season and new movie releases even more. TV networks say they may rely on more reality programming to make up for a lack of scripted shows, but writ­ ers dismiss that plan. "Imagine if foe networks' Monday lineup was essentially Survivor, Millionaire and Weakest Link, and then on Tuesday, Survivor, Millionaire and Weakest Link," Lieblein said. "The net­ works may pretend that won't kill them, but it will." Movie studios may turn to releasing more foreign films or independently- made pictures to compensate for foe shortage of Hollywood-produced fare.

W orld& N ation Attacks target Jewish settlers T he Daily April 30, 2 0 0 1 By The Associated Press JERUSALEM — Palestinian militants set off two bombs targeting Jewish settlers in the West Bank and mortars were fired at a Jewish enclave in the Gaza Strip Sunday, officials said, casting a shadow over the latest Mideast peace effort. A Palestinian suspected of setting off one of the West Bank bombs was killed, Israeli security sources said. Also, Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen traded gunfire in Gaza, wounding at least three Palestinians, Palestinians said. The latest violence came as Israel's Foreign Minister Shimon Peres traveled to Egypt and Jordan seeking ways to end the seven months of fighting. In Cairo, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said Sunday tire two sides were wcfrking toward a cease-fire. Peres, said no agreements were reached. Peres said Israel will start easing measures against the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, adding there was hope the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process could resume. . The hostilities have killed 420 people on the Palestinian side and 71 on the Israeli side since erupting last September. According to an Egyptian-Jordanian plan, a cease-fire would follow an Israeli freeze on the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza. Negotiations on a* final peace deal would begin where they left off in January under the previous Israeli government of Prime Minister Ehud Barak. However, Sharon has made clear that he opposes the concessions offered by Barak. Sharon says he wants an interim agreement with the Palestinians to be implemented over an extended period of time and not a sweeping final status deal. But the Palestinians say that after seven years of on-and-off negotiations, they are not interest­ ed in any more interim arrangements. After conferring with Mubarak and King Abdullah of Jordan, Peres was scheduled to depart Monday for New York, where he is to meet with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. On Thursday he is scheduled to meet with President Bush in Washington. In Sunday's Mideast violence, what appeared to be a car bomb exploded near a school bus transporting Jewish students on a road in the northern West Bank, the army said. According to Israeli security sources, the body of a Palestinian man was found in the badly damaged car, and he was suspected of being the perpetrator. Also, an explosive device went off near two homes in the Jewish settlement of Shaari Tikva, west of the Palestinian town of Nablus in the West Bank, shattering windows but causing no injuries. In another attack, two mortar shells landed in the Jewish settlement of Kfar Darom in Gaza, but no one was hurt, the army said. The army also said it returned fire toward Palestinian gunmen in the Jewish settlement of Neve Dekelim in Gaza. Palestinian officials, meanwhile, reported that Israeli tanks fired on the refugee camp of Khan Yunis, also in Gaza. Overall, three Palestinians were wounded in Gaza, Palestinian officials said. In another development, Abdel Aziz Rantisi, an outspoken leader of Islamic militant group Hamas, was arrested by Palestinian police in Gaza. Palestinian officials gave no reason for the arrest, and would not say if the move was part of an attempt by the Palestinian Authority to rein in militant?. "It's too early to say if this is a new policy by the Palestinian Authority against Hamas, we have to wait and see," said Hamas spokesman Ismail Abu Shanab. Rantisi, widely considered the No. 2 man in the Hamas leadership, has been arrested several times previously for criticizing the Palestinian leadership and for calling for the destruction of Israel. Meanwhile, the Palestinian newspaper Al- Hayat al-Jadida reported that Arafat had called for the second time this month for an end to Palestinian mortar attacks on Israeli targets. Also, the Palestinian Authority Security Council called for the disbanding of a committee made up of various Palestinian factions that has helped organize Palestinian actions during the current uprising, the newspaper reported.

China says U. S. can inspect downed plane By The Associated Press Bv The Associated Press WASHINGTON — China will allow U.S. personnel to inspect an American spy plane that made an emergency landing on Hainan Island April 1, offi­ cials in both nations said Sunday. An American inspection team in Okinawa, Japan, awaited clearance to travel to China, hoping to depart as early as Monday. The development raised U.S. hopes that the disabled aircraft will soon return home, and it seemed to signal an easing of U.S.-China tensions. "I see it as an encouraging sign that to proceed," Vice they're willing President Dick Cheney said. The plane cannot be flown now and may have to be taken out on a barge, Cheney said. At the same time, Cheney and top Bush administration officials reinforced President Bush's tough stand that a mil­ itary response from the United States remains an option if China attacks Taiwan. It has been nearly a month since a U.S. Navy EP-3E surveillance plane with a crew of 24 collided with a Chinese fighter jet sent to intercept it over the South China Sea, outside China's 12-mile territorial sea and air­ space. The plane made an emergency land­ ing at a military airfield on Hainan island, and the crew was detained for 11 days. They were released after Bush said he was "very sorry" for the loss of the Chinese pilot and for the U.S. plane's unauthorized entry into Chinese airspace to make an emergency landing. in Beijing, American negotiators presented a writ- At April 18-19 talks going to take to get it back, I think is SoinS to take *° get U ^ack' I thi^ is very positive," he said on Fox Nezes Sunday. The president7s chief of staff, Andrew Card, said Washington was preparing to send a team to the island. "We expect them to get there as soon as their documentation is ready, their visas are ready," Card said on ABC's This Week. White House spokesman Ken Lisaius said an American team was ready to travel from Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa to China. Neither he nor a Pentagon spokes­ woman could immediately say who was on the "technical assessment team," which one official said was poised to depart as early as Monday. . The team will try to determine what military and hardware secrets the Chinese may have collected in the month since the plane has been on the ground. Crewmen aboard the U.S. plane used hammers and other measures to try to disable intelligence equipment, but some secrets still fell into Chinese hands, according to U.S. defense offi­ cials. "I would assume they got some­ thing," said Cheney, a former defense secretary. "Certainly, the hardware's it was left, even though a destroyed by the crew en route. But the really sensitive stuff, things like soft­ ware and so forth, I think were pretty well taken care of." lot of Xinhua said the United States has agreed to consider making a payment to China. Card and Cheney said that would represent compensation for any Chinese assistance in removing the plane. There will be no additional com­ pensation, they said.

"Having completed its investigation and evidence collection involving the U.S. plane and in view of international precedents in handling such issues, the Chinese side has decided to allow the U.S. side to inspect its plane at the Lingshui Airport," the official Xinhua News Agency said Sunday. Cheney said he was hopeful that China's decision would lay the ground­ work for the return of the plane, which was loaded with sophisticated eaves­ dropping equipment.

And the fact that they have now announced that they're will­ ing to have U.S. personnel go in and look at ¿he aircraft and assess what it's Senators have little desire for Pentagon investigation By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Some of Bob Kerrey's former Senate colleagues who served in Vietnam said Sunday they have lit­ tle desire for a Pentagon investigation into his recent admis­ sion that civilians were killed during a mission for which he won the Bronze Star. "To now talk about an investigation, it seems to me, is just the wrong way to go," Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., told ABC s This Week. "If the Pentagon asked me, I'd say no." Kerrey, the former Nebraska governor and senator, and five other former members of his Navy SEAL team said in a written statement released over the weekend that what hap­ pened on the night of Feb. 25,1969, at Thanh Phong "was a defining and tragic moment for each of us." "We regret the results of this night. We might do things dif­ ferently if we could do it over. But we cannot be certain. We were young men then and did what we thought was right and necessary," they said in the statement issued to The Washington Post. Kerrey's admission came as another former SEAL mem­ ber, Gerhard Klann, claimed in interviews that civilian women, children and elderly were herded into a group and killed on Kerrey's order. Two Vietnamese women who said they were witnesses gave a similar account. Kerrey and the five squad members said they fired after being fired upon. The Pentagon last week left open the possibility of investi­ gating the award of a Bronze Star to Kerrey. Rear Adm. Craig Quigley said he did not believe Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was reviewing the matter, and the Pentagon spokesman said he could not say whether the Pentagon would look into it. The citation for the combat medal says 21 Viet Cong were killed and enemy weapons were captured or destroyed. Kerrey said that he told his military superiors his Navy SEAL squad killed civilians. Asked whether it was possible that the matter would be investigated, Quigley replied: "Sure." Sen. Max Cleland, D-Ga., a member of the Armed Services Committee, told ABC he does not think an investigation is warranted, as did Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. "There's no point in it, I don't believe.... Let it play out, but I don't think we need an investigation here," Hagel said. In an editorial in Sunday s Washington Post, Kerry, Cleland and Hagel said Kerrey's admission "demonstrates the courage we all have known in him for years. "Many people have been forced to do things in war that they are deeply ashamed of later. Yet for our country to blame the warrior instead of the war is among the worst, and, regrettably, most frequent mistakes we as a country can make," they wrote. Asked if Kerrey should give back his medal, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who was a prisoner of war for more than five years, said that would be "a decision that Bob would make." Kerrey recently said that because a dozen of the victims turned out to be civilians, "the medal means nothing to me. After receiving the Bronze Star, he received the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military commendation, for an unrelated mission in Vietnam. Endeavour undocks from space station By The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Endeavour and its crew undocked from the inter­ national space station on Sunday, wrapping up a long, frazzling visit that was wracked by comput­ er trouble but finally ended in success. Left behind we’re the three space station resi­ dents, who had just 14 hours to get ready for their next guests: two Russian cosmonauts and the first space tourist. Mission Control relieved the space station crew of almost all its duties, including computer repairs and robot-arm tests, to make time for what one manager calls entertaining but what amounts to baby-sitting the visiting California millionaire. Dennis Tito, the first person to buy his way into w space and a passenger on the Soyuz spacecraft bound for space station Alpha, will be staying six days. "Goodbye and we wish you a happy landing, astronaut Susan Helms called out from the station as the shuttle backed away. Endeavour's seven astronauts departed content in knowing they did everything they could dur­ ing their eight days of joint flight: installing a bil­ lion-dollar robot arm and removing its packing crate, attaching and unloading a cargo carrier then stuffing it with trash and removing it, replac­ ing broken slats on the station treadmill, and overcoming computer problems that crippled the station much of last week. All three command-and-control computers aboard the orbiting laboratory were working when Endeavour pulled away Sunday, although only one had a functioning hard drive. The undocking occurred 240 miles above the South Pacific. "It was a lot of work getting to this point, and there's a whole lot of really, really happy people down here on the ground," lead shuttle flight director Phil Engelauf told Endeavour's astro­ nauts. "We'll have a coúple of cold ones when you get back and swap stories." Replied commander Kent Rominger: "In a lot of ways, you worked much harder than we did. You're the ones who had to pull this all together.' Rominger and his crew are due back on Earth- on Tuesday, 12 days after blasting off on what is considered the most complicated space robotics mission yet. The shuttle is returning one of the space sta­ tion's failed command-and-control computers; the unit was replaced aboard the orbiting complex with a payload computer. "This will be just one more clue to help us solve this problem," said Robert Cabana, a space station manager. Flicnt controllers will spend the next week — and probably longer — testing the space station computers and working to bring them up to 100 percent. Even if all three command-and-control comput­ ers fail again, the space station could fly the way it did before the units arrived with the Destiny laboratory in February, said Randy Stone, director of mission operations. A pair of computers on the U.S. Unity module would suffice. Cabana said the pace should slow down con­ siderably this week for space station residents Jim Voss, Helms and Yuri Usachev, the commander. "They're going to have plenty of rest over the next week or so ... we're not going to be overload­ ing them at all," Cabana said. "They'll just be entertaining the visiting crew and living aboard the space station." W&N B riefs At least 7 killed In riot at Congo soccer stadium LUBUMBASHI, Congo — Panicked crowds crushed at least seven people to death Sunday in a riot at a match between two of Congo's top soccer teams. Another 51 people were injured, Congo Information Minister Kikaya Bin Karubi said. The riot broke out at a match between Lupopo and Mazembe, the top two teams in southern Congo, in the southern city of Lubumbashi. When Mazembe players tied the game at 1- 1 just 10 minutes before the end of the match, supporters of the opposing team started throwing bottles. Police fired tear gas to try to quell the crowd — launching the stampede. Crowds knocked over barriers in the stands in the rush to escape the tear gas and each other. Karubi said seven people died. A doctor at Lubumbashi's morgue put the death toll at 10. The doctor refused to give his name. Mexico’s Popocapetepl volcano experiences small eruption MEXICO CITY — The Popocatepetl volcano experienced a moderate explosion Sunday morning that was heard for miles around, belching a column of ash 2 kilometers high. The one-minute explosion, which occurred at 8:19 a.m., may possibly have launched some red-hot rocks for a small radius around the 17,886-foot volcano, and some light ash fall was reported in the nearby town of San Pedro Benito Juarez, Mexico's National Center for Prevention of Disasters announced on its Web site. f The volcano, located about 40 miles south of Mexico City, has been closely monitored since Dec. 18 when the volcano staged its most vio­ lent eruption in 1,200 years, spewing red-hot rock and convincing thousands who live at its base to flee to shelters set up in safe areas. The villagers were allowed to return on Dec. 27. Residents are still barred from coming with­ in 7 miles of the crater. Cardinal urges people to turn out to defend democracy MANILA, Philippines — The powerful head of the Philippine Roman Catholic church urged people into the streets early Monday to defend democracy and the president, setting up a possible showdown with thousands of protesters supporting ousted President Joseph Estrada. Troops were put on alert after the call by Cardinal Jaime Sin. The country's military chief of staff held a 2 a.m. news conference to deny reports that officers were defecting to Estrada's camp and repeat support for President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, facing her first crisis. Hundreds of people immediately respond­ ed to Sin's midnight request to gather near the presidential palace as the pro-Estrada rallies moved into a fifth day. Sin, one of Estrada's biggest critics, was among the leaders of mass protests that forced the former action film star to leave the presidential palace Jan. 20 over corruption allegations. Estrada and his son, Jinggoy, were jailed Wednesday for the capital offense of plunder — defined as theft from the state of more than $1 million. j j Thousands evacuated for detonation of WWII bomb VICENZA, Italy — Authorities evacuated 77,000 people — two thirds of this northern Italian city — for several hours Sunday so experts could disarm a 4,000-pound unex­ ploded bomb dropped by British fighters dur­ ing World War n. The bomb, discovered several weeks ago buried in Vicenza's main cemetery, was suc­ cessfully defused shortly after midday, Italian news agencies quoted Vicenza prefect Angelo Tranfaglia as saying. After being initially disarmed, the cylindri­ cal casing of the bomb was taken to a quarry in the outskirts of Vicenza, 325 miles northeast of Rome, where its core components were to be extracted. English pilots dropped the 4,000-pound device April 2, 1944 during a bombing cam­ paign over northern Italy, the press reports said. Former Austrian president says CIA files vindicate him VIENNA, Austria — Kurt Waldheim, whose term as Austrian president was clouded by allegations he hid a Nazi past, said Sunday that newly released CIA files clear him from any wrongdoing. Waldheim, the U.N. secretary-general from ’ 1972 to 1982, was elected president in 1986. He benefited from a backlash of public support, occasionally tinged with anti-Semitic senti­ ments, following foreign criticism of revela­ tions that he had lied about his wartime serv­ ice in the Balkans as an intelligence officer for the German Wehrmacht. In a statement issued Sunday to the Austria ! Press Agency, Waldheim said CIA files made -public Friday "prove that the accusations ‘ against me have no substance whatsoever — and thus have vanished into thin air." He did ! not explain. The files provided little new information on Waldheim and dealt primarily with his activi er World War II. ; ties in the immediate years ara O A Officials said he had not been among CLA sources, as had been suspected by some nisto- nans.

This lack of com pe­ tition is a scary prospect for students already pay­ ing hundreds of dollars each semester for books we are required to buy. The Co-Op, a non-profit business, already con­ trols 90 percent of the m arket. The two com peti­ tors, Bevo's Bookstore and Texas Textbooks were for-profit corporations. Although the Co-Op said all of their money goes to support campus events, grants and activities as well as student rebates, they still charged the same prices as their com peti­ tors. If a non-profit corporation can't offer lower prices, who can? Now with a lack of com petition, who knows what will happen. As nice as rebates are, .it's not like w e're getting cash back, w e're simply getting more m oney from the Co-Op to put right back into the Co-Op. Contrary to some retailers' beliefs, stu­ dents do not have a whole lot of extra cash sitting around. We would rather the textbooks be cheaper in the first place than get money back to respend at the sam e store. Now the Co-Op has the power to set textbook prices how ever high they so desire. George M itchell, president of the U niversity Co-Op, has said he personally guarantees that textbook prices will not increase and will personally see that ^ny em ployee that attem pts to raise prices would be fired. Hopefully M itchell will keep his promise and hopefully the students on the Co-Op board will help see to it that prices remain at current levels. The students serving on the board should recog­ nize that in their position as student representa­ tives, a main facet of their job is to ensure fair text­ book prices. Especially since they are the only mem bers of the board who can offer a true student perspective. Without fair m arket com petition, UT students have the possibility of getting seriously ripped off. Of course there are the online textbook retailers, but then you have to pay shipping and handling prices, and not everyone likes shopping online anyway. Students will also now lack the ability to com­ parison shop. Here, once again, online shopping is a bit of a different ball game. In this take-it-or- leave-it m arket we have no choice but to take the books at whatever price the Co-Op so chooses. T h ere are law s against this sort of thing. U nfortunately anti-trust laws probably w ouldn't hold up in court because the Co-Op still w on't control 100 percent of the textbook m arket due to online vendors. It's just that 99.9999 percent of the m arket that students should be worried about. In a perfect world the Co-Op would keep their prom ise and stay com mitted to serving the needs of students, the most im portant of w hich in this case is cheap books. We can only hope for that kind of perfection. r What? Maybe the President should have been better briefed.” - Winston Lord, former U.S. Ambassador to China, responding to President Bush’s comments in an April 25 ABC interview. Bush claimed that the fu ll force of the American military” would be brought to bear in defense of Taiwan in the event of Chinese aggression. This blistering hardline is a departure from the traditional American position of keeping options open regarding Chinese aggression and comes at a time when U.S.- Sino relations are already strained. Lord said he thought áte President may have gotten flustered and was probably winging it. GALLERY Opinion GUEST COLUMN Pig Bellmont remembered By Kevin Miller and Kris Blahnlk Guest Colum nists It took the UT student body a while to get used to Bevo. Don't get us wrong, we all love him today; sedated as he may seem. Bevo is a proud and magnificent symbol of UT spirit. But back in the 1920s, when the 40 Acres really were just 40 acres, students overlooked their new steer and lavished all their attention on a pit bull mutt named Pig Bellmont. Pig was born on Feb. 10, 1914 — mind you, that's a full 17 years before Reveille ever wandered her way into College Station. He came to campus under the care of Theo Bellmont, the University's first Athletic Director. Pig spent his days wandering around campus without a leash or caretaker, eating scraps from students and sleeping under the steps of the origi­ nal University Co-op. He attended every UT football game (it was said he would snarl at the slightest men­ tion of Texas A&M) and the occasion­ al class, even staying in the library (now Battle Hall) on cold days. But how did a dog come to be named "Pig?" Our pal was named for Pay your respects to Pig — the dog and mascot we loved before all others. Gus "Pig" Dittmar (1913-1917), who played center for the football team. Gus was known to slip through the defensive liné "like a greased pig " During a game in 1914, the athlete and the dog stood next to each other on the sidelines, and students noticéd that both were bowlegged. It was not long before the dog had found a namesake. Tragically, Pig was struck by a Model T Ford on New Year's Day 1923, and died a few days later. The U niversity's heart was broken; mournful UT students made him a little doggie coffin, and on Jan. 5th, 1923 the Longhorn Band led a funer­ al procession down Guadalupe Street to give him a proper burial. Your great-grandparents may have been there. In a grove of trees that now stands between Mezes Hall the Graduate School of Business, Pig was and laid to rest in a ceremony attended by hundreds. Dr. Thomas U. Taylor, dean and the founder of the College of Engineering, delivered pig's eulo­ gy. "Let no spirit of levity dominate this occasion," the dean began, "A landmark away." Students erected a hand-painted grave marker reading: "Pig's Dead — Dog Gone." passed has Unfortunately, the sign disap­ peared before long. As time passed, so did the memory of our first mas­ cot, and until recently the only way to hear Pig's story was by attending one of Jim Nicar's Moonlight Prowl .tours. But today, at high noon in Batts Auditorium, Pig's spirit will be revived. Through our networks on campus, we have organized a ceremony to honor our beloved pit bull. Today, .in the presence of Theo Bellm ont's descendants, we will revive Pig's the original memory. Jim Nicar will tell the Pig story, and Dr. Faulkner will quote eulogy. from Refreshments will be provided, and a plaque will be unveiled over Pig's burial spot. How often do a couple of UT students get to install a plaque on the campus? This is a story not only of a piece of UT's history, but of the will of the students. The students of the time chose Pig as the campus friend (the same can't be said of Bevo). Now it is the will of students to make Pig a part of UT's permanent memory. Pig was not a well-groomed cam­ pus mascot — he was actually a pret­ ty pudgy mutt. But the fact that a whole campus loved him anyway makes him every bit as meaningful to the University of Texas as the Tower or the school colors. It's time to remember him all over again. So come to the ceremony today at noon in Batts 7, or stop by the grove of trees this week and pay your respects to Pig — the dog we loved before all others. Miller, an RTF/Plan II honors senior, and Blahnlk, a corporate communica­ tions senior, helped organize the Pig Bellmont ceremony. Speaking freely Upset about the recent free-speech-related contro­ versies at the University? Then speak out at a delib­ erative forum on the issue entitled “Free Speech Principles and Policies on Campus." The forum will take place today from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the Bass Lecture Hall, which is located in the LBJ School of Public Affairs. The event is being sponsored by the University of Texas Humanities Institute, which says the forum is intended to “provide an occasion for broadly par­ ticipatory deliberation on free speech principles and policies on the UT campus, and to establish the precedent of inclusive community discussion of complex matters that affect the life of the University.” - Panelists will include UT Provost Sheldon EcklandOlson, Constitutional Scholar Douglas Layeock, former SG President Daron Roberts, Dean of Students James Vick and Liberal Arts Dean Richard Lariviere. THE FIRING LINE Stop with the slant I entirely support the idea of free speech here at the University of Texas. However, the article in Wednesday's Opinion section seemed more like an attack On Justice For All and its exhibit. Why did Cecily Sailer, the author, feel it necessary to put "bio-ethical justice" in quotes while it was not necessary to quote "a woman's right to choose"? Those are both views held by the oppos­ ing sides, but by putting one groups beliefs in quotation marks while not quoting the other it would seem that Ms. Sailer is attempting to belittle the stance of JFA. In fact, throughout the article many references to Justice for All are put in quotation marks in a fashion which sounds to me, like she is speaking down at them (e.g. "the student-run JFA attempted to 'comply' with the rules — they 'contracted' with ... ). In various other instances within the article the author repeatedly attacks Justice for All and their pro-life stance. This article seems less about free speech and more about the author expressing her dissatis­ faction with JFA. If you want to write about free speech, then by all means, write about free speech, But if you want to use your power to attack an organization, then at least give them equal space (and a 250 word Firing Line is not equal space) to defend themselves. I am continually appalled by the actions of The Daily Texan and the slanted opinion it is con­ tinually presenting as news. Joshua Scheldel Undeclared engineering freshman aftermath have not been mentioned at all. On the final day of the exhibit, pro­ testers circled the structure using rolled- up posterbóard as homemade mega­ phones. These pseudo-megaphones were thrust only a few inches from our faces, forcing us to endure horrendous name-calling and allusions to violence. One of our invited speakers was physi­ cally assaulted by a protester, and a stu­ dent member of JFA was told by a group of pro-choice demonstrators that "we'll kick your ass if you come across those barricades, bitch!" When the protesters hopped the barricades, JFA was forced . to retreat into Gregory Gym for safety reasons. These incidents concerning the safety of UT students have not been mentioned at all, even the day after they occurred. Also, The Texan has been referring to JFA members as "anti-abortion" since the exhibit's unveiling, but has labeled the flip side of the issue "pro-choice." Wouldn't it be fairer to treat both groups with equal respect and label them either "pro-life" and "pro-choice" or "anti­ abortion" and "pro-abortion?" for The Viewpoint "Speaking Not-So- * Freely" the (April 24) called University to be consistent when apply­ ing its policies. If The Daily Texan staff isn't consistent with its reporting and treats pro-life and pro-choice groups unequally, the paper has no reason to expect University officials to treat stu­ dents fairly either. to immediately silence the protester. The simple fact is I came to this school, as we all should have, to achieve academic success. An entire classroom does not need to be disrupted by protesters dur­ ing school hours. It only causes a dis­ traction to the real reason why we are all here. I applaud the campus police for enforcing the rules in this circumstance. They were able to keep valuable class time from being disrupted. Ryan Rogers Biochemistry sophomore The conservative credo After much deliberation, observation and general awareness of the world around me, I have concluded these tenets to be essential to the Conservative Credo: 1) Marketplace of ideas should be a convenience store of ideas 2) People are to be feared and not trusted 3) Competition is a good thing — accomplishment at the expense of others — Hey, that's life!! 4) Freedom of expression should be limited to what God's Law decrees 5) If I have money, then I am okay 6) Economy before community 7) Equality? Who's that? And of course the Conservative war cry: "Hooray for me, and fu you!"

On limiting free speech The stir that abortion has caused recently is no surprise to me, but all the babble of this University limiting free speech is garbage. The University has to maintain order. If I were in class, possi­ bly, taking an exam and I began to hear loud protests coming from a mega­ phone I would want the campus police Considering that the Chancellor of the UT System, Dan Burck, has no higher degree than a B.A., President Faulkner's statements would be laughable, if they weren't so disturbing, Obviously, the Ph.D. requirement for high-level hiring tracks don't apply in all cases. Faulkner has claimed that his words were "over-interpreted"; apparently he didn't want to sound like everyone else, whose ignorant statements are merely "misinterpreted." This coupled with the decision to add three minority appli­ cants to the finalist pool for the vice president of Student Affairs, in what can only be interpreted as appeasement, makes for another sad and embarrass­ ing the University's administration. the part of incident in Joseph Welsenthal Government senior Flat tuition problematic Thanks to a genius Democrat from Houston, H.B. 3524 was tentatively approved in the House yesterday (Daily Texan, April 26). Under this bill, a stu­ dent would pay an amount equal to a 14-semester-hour tuition fee, regardless of the hours one registered for. If you want to reduce your costs of college education, here's the cost-saving strate- gy: you should register for as many ours as possible. For example: if you register for 24 hours each semester, then your savings for each semester is 10 hours of free tuition! But, sorry for those students who have to work to support their education. While giving up jobs is never an option, these working students usually register for less than 12 hours every semester. In other words, they have to pay extra under this flat-rate system (14 hours instead of nine or 12 hours). You see the vicious circle here: these working stu­ dents have to work more in order to support their education, and working more hours means having less time to study, and so registering for less hours each semester and thus delaying their graduation. Spending more semesters here means spending more money on education due to the flat-rate system, and so working more hours and regis­ tering for fewer. A plan that is suppos­ edly designed to motivate students in order to graduate sooner potentially does more harm than good to working students. Wee-Keng Lee Economics graduate student THE FIRING LINE Much thanks Many thanks again this year to all the UT students who volun­ teered their time to tutor in our Friday' GED for UT employees of the Food & Housing and Physical Plant Divisions. classes These wonderful students have really made a difference.

Thanks again, and special best wishes to those who are graduat­ ing this semester. Joseph Wiseman GED Instructor Austin Com m unity College Keep speech free I am frightened by Mr. Evan Carton's call for "a new speech environm ent," which calls for the institution to "weigh the value of the claim (minority issue) against other institutional values (m ajori­ ty issues) ..." The sentence goes on to mention that both the speak­ er and the listener have rights and "responsibilities." The only right the listener has is to go some­ where else if they don't like what they're hearing or argue with the speaker. There is no such thing as a right to not be offended or not see what you don't want to (grant­ ed that the m aterial is within the bounds of law). "Shou ld the value of free expression prevail if a student chapter of the Ku Klux Klan were to demand a permit to rally ... ?" Absolutely. "D oes the First A m endm ent demand that the University allow a hypothetical student political organization ... to publicly shame women wearing tight or revealing clothing?" Absolutely. Why not, Mr. Carton? Why should the "in stitu tio n " decide what is right for the students to talk about? Isn't that frighteningly contrary to the idea of free speech in the first place? The point of free speech is not to preach to the choir of the majority, the point of free speech is to allow the minority to express its opinion to the majority. Anything too radi­ cal w ill be filtered out like it always has, and there is absolute­ ly no reason to start clam ping down on our freedoms just yet.

Brynn Counts English sophomore On the textbook market In last W ednesday's article sub­ headlined University Co-Op closes in ..., a Co-Op competitor laments that the Co-Op can sell textbooks "cheaper." Only in textbook m ar­ keting could forms of the word "cheap" be applied to textbooks. A business school case study once made reference to the "lush text­ book m arket." A Wall Street Journal article reported that a large text­ itself book publisher, cheated by used textbook sales, wished to design a textbook that w ouldn't survive the "battering" of more than a semester. What the market will bear determines pric­ ing. feeling and Other industries have become quality cost-conscious because of real competition, where choice. have custom ers Meanwhile, textbooks continue to be bought at high-overhead walk- in showrooms, as though students were actually shopping for books instead of simply buying required texts, whether, useful or not. a Early and easy access to course textbook lists and to periodic eval­ uations of textbooks by other stu­ dents could allow students the time and inform ation needed for the purchase of texts they wanted, possibly via the Web, where prices and delivery costs might m oder­ ate if pushed by numerous discre­ tionary purchases and new inno­ vations. Eventually the Web, or similar network, should become the main route for issuing course material electronically and cheap­ ly, including much of what is now sold in textbook form.

Alan Poizner Daily Texan Staff The thought of graduating from the University and leaving is suddenly becoming real strange. Not because I'll never be a student again (I never went to class anyway) but because The Texan will no longer be an integral part of my life. The paper has dominated much of my time over the past two-and-a-half years and brought with it a corre­ sponding plunge in my GPA — but it was also some of my best spent time at the University. I loved all the perks and opportunities I received as a photographer, but I would never have stayed in it so long or enjoyed it so much if it weren't for all the people I met. And I never thought I'd write a -30- column, but in no particular order, here it goes: Matt Hemple: While people seem to be increas­ ingly phony, you remain as one of the most gen­ uine guys around. I'm glad that we lived at 21st Street and worked for The Texan together for as long as we did. Very strange, that thing about your dad and my mom knowing each other 25 years ago. You're a great guy Matt — don't let anyone (including yourself) make you think oth­ erwise. Cha-Chee: The Janet Jackson shot is fantastic. I can't wait to see you on the cover of Rolling Stone. Henry: Lurking around The Texan basement at odd hours just wouldn't be the same without you • around. Just don't scare me ever again with your creepy sound projects. Damien Pierce and Travis Richmond: You're both great sports writers and great people to trav­ el with. Qur roadtrip to Nebraska for the college baseball world series last summer remains as one the Texan assignments I am most fond of. Kind of strange when some of my favorite people from The Texan aren't in the photo department, but awesome nonetheless. I really hope that one day down the road we will be working at the same paper again. And Travis, I'm never sharing a bed with you and your wandering hand ever again! Andrew Loehman: Thanks for the Shiner the other night. Nothing like drinking when and where you Shouldn't. The Longhorn Marching Band: One of the things I like most about being on the field shoot­ ing football is not how close I am to the game, but how well I can hear you guys play. The energy you create (especially at away games) is amazing and I'm going to really miss it. Jennie Kennedy: After the little battle we had over that dead horse photo, I never would have imagined you'd suggest running a picture of my name pissed in the sand. But if that's what the managing editor wants, then that's what she'll get. Charlie Fonville's Mom is really the BIGGEST reason I don't want to leave Texas. John Healey: Without a doubt, you are the best photographer that has shot for The Texan during the time that I've worked here. I'm sure you will do very well in whatever aspect of photo you end up pursuing as a career. Melanie Saberian: So you stopped reading The Texan because of me. Axe you reading it right now? Robby Nisenfeld: You irritated me to no end when I first met you, but by the time you gradu­ ated I didn't want you to leave. I hate myself for admitting this, but I kind of miss having you and your singing around the office. Of course, beating the shit out of you in. Ms. Pacman all the time is certainly what I liked most about you. Mommy and Daddy: When I was 7 years old, I was embarrassed to call you that in front of peo­ ple so I put a sign on the front door saying I would be calling you "Mom and Dad" from now on. It didn't last more than two days. Fifteen years later I'm calling you that in front of a cam­ pus of 50,000 so I guess old habits are hard to change. You've both been wonderful parents, and I attribute my happiness and stability to you. Alan Poizner/ Daily Texan Staff Proof that being born with a penis leads to greater forms of self-expression. This classic photo is titled, “ My name pissed in the sand in front of a beautiful West Texas sunrise.” Thank you so much for coming all the way to Texas to visit me before I graduate, it means a whole lot to me. 059: Hauling ass all over the country with 10 gallons of C-41 chemistry and a hair dryer just isn't going to be the same without you, man. John Foxworth: I'm going to come back to Austin and "throwdown at the Showdown" 10 years from now and I'm going to be disappointed if I don't find you there! Kimberlee Hewitt: When I think of JB's class, all that comes to mind is you and the countless times you almost got me in trouble by making me laugh. You've got a lot of spirit — I hope we cross paths again some day. Yen: When I hired you, you had the maturity of a 13-year-old. Irbjust one-and-a-half years it has shot up to about 17! I'm very impressed, Yen. Keep up the good work. Jeremy Liebman: I'm glad those silly fratboys decided not to sue you for hurting their feelings with that photo. I had your back, you know. Steph and Devo: Our "turn-of-the-century trip" will probably be one of my favorite road- trips of all time. I will never forget the fly in Arkansas, the shower in Memphis, sick as a dog in NYC or Jeff White For President! in New Orleans. Jen Val: The Texan misses you. I was always very impressed with how you handled every­ thing in such a calm, fair and intelligent way. Jeff Hipp and Matt Cook: B!, double E! double R! U! N! Always charming to run into you at the Flametrick Subs. Next time I find you at the Black Cat the first round of Lonestar's on me. Kristan Finan: The wonder-woman of The Texan. I've seen you bail out departments you didn't even work for when people slacked (or got fired). Please do me a favor. When you're manag- ing editor, crack the whip on Jason Hunter's ass! Pinky: You shouldn't have left, man, vou shouldn't have left!! Billy: I'm proud to be the one to have hired you at The Texan. Hey, remember that time we washed the photo office window? What thoughtful mem­ bers of The Texan we were. Erin Chambers: I'm sorry that we lost touch once you left The Texan, and we didn't have any­ more classes together. You were always a real good friend of mine. Thanks for all the rides to Brenda's class and to photo functions. 21st Street Co-op: The three years I spent liv ing with all you "motherf**kers" has been AWE­ SOME! I'm not too nostalgic about leaving the University, but leaving 21st Street tugs on my heart. Adriane Jaeckle: Thanks for hiring me, even if it was as an alternate (jerk). I guess I got you back for it when I was editor and hired you to do assignments (sucker). I'm glad I managed to con­ vince you to be the other senior staff photogra­ pher. Last summer "ruled" [!] as a result of it. It's safe to say that if you hadn't, countless memories would have never happened such as: sleeping on cliffs in San Dj¿ego, our "friend" in Killeen, getting free gas and money to do a "photo story" in Galveston (I shot nine frames, how about you?), the Newark Airport search-and-rescue mission, running from ghosts in Aztec, AZ, being a balleri­ na (naked in Lake Travis), falling in love (and on the pavement) in New Orleans, and that "inci­ dent" in Dave's parent's Upper West Side apart­ ment last new years eve! ... And I will never for­ get that night (straight out of a movie) in Cleveland. Poizner has worked for The Daily Texan photo department since January 1999. If you're Smart Enough To Go To UT...

Etter Alumni Center became the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center in a renaming cere­ mony Friday evening. UT Alumnus Jack Harbin donated $1 million for erosion abatement and re-landscaping around the alumni center. The area outside is now entire­ ly wheelchair accessible, and newly installed retainment walls will now prevent erosion. Harbin said he felt the center was an important gathering place, not only for alumni but also for current students, faculty and staff. "I looked around at a number of projects and felt that people would get more benefit from this than any other project," he said. "As we get more for­ mer students, they can use these outdoor facilities." Jim Boon, executive director of the alumni cen­ ter, said the renovations to the area around the center will create a more inviting gathering space. House will hear bill on removing Campus’ Confederate statues The House of Representatives State Affairs Committee will hear Monday a bill aimed at removing Confederate statues from campus. "These statues have been a matter of some con­ troversy for 30 years," said Rep. Lon Burnam, D-Fort Worth, author of the bilL House Bill 953 was written to urge foe UT administration to remove the Confederate statues on campus, Burnam said. "In foe post-dvil rights era, people realized they are sending out the wrong symbol to minori­ ties and people of color," Burnam said. . Burnam said he has received support for foe bill but is concerned about foe bill's passage because foe legislative session is close to an end. "I hope foe [administration] will be responsive even if foe bill doesn't pass," Burnam said. Despite a request by Burnam to provide com­ mittee members background information about the statues, UT President Larry Faulkner will not attend the meeting due to other obligations. However, Faulkner is sending someone in his place to present foe material to foe committee. Burnam said attention to foe statues did not come until foe 1960s. Burnam became aware of tine debated issue when he attended foe University. If the bill becomes a law, the University would have to remove all Confederate statues by Sept. 1. Compiled by Amy Westerman and Angela Macias, Dally Texan Staff University Appointed-editor proposal tabled TSP Board postpones decision on future o f‘Texan’ elected editor, makes appointments By Celina Moreno Daily Texan Staff After appointing head positions of five campus media out­ lets, tine Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees voted Friday to table indefinitely a vote on a proposal that would change the current Daily Texan editor selection process from election to appointment The proposal, submitted by TSP Director Kathy Lawrence after a request from several Texan staff members in November calls for a board-appointed editor The board, with a "majority-rules" decision-making process, is comprised of six elected student members and five profes­ sionals and faculty members appointed by UT President Larry Faulkner. Texan Editor Cecily Sailer who supports an appointed-editor system, said she was not surprised with the board's decision to table a vote on foe controversial proposal. “It is so dear to us that you don't want to deal with this issue," Sailer said to the board, expressing her disapproval of a delay. "So instead of pushing it on to the next staff and having them endure this, vote it down." Sailer added that student leaders on the board had interest in "killing" the proposal, making her suggestion to vote against the decision an act of expressing grievances with the board. TSP Board President Natasha Solee, who submitted a pro­ posal requiring the board to vote on foe change at its September 2001 meeting called Sailer's allegation "preposterous." "I think it's very ironic that she would think that my propos­ al would be a way to avoid dealing with the issue because if s the only thing that exists that does," said Solee, a Plan II and bio­ chemistry senior. "If the board would have voted for my time­ line, we would have ended the meeting with an official way to conduct foe process — a mechanism on how to obtain student input and an official date on when a vote would occur. At foe end of the meeting foe board still has made no progress on this issue." Solee stepped down from her position at foe meeting because she said she felt uncomfortable submitting foe proposal and serving as president simultaneously. She added that though she is grateful for foe efforts of foe Texan to compile feedback, it was a "source of a conflict of interest" and that it would need to be gathered by an unbiased party. The Texan ran foe proposal for an appointed editor in its April 20 edition "to keep students informed about any possible changes," Sailer said, adding that the newspaper printed firing lines and asked for student response through an e-mail account. The Texan also ran an alternative proposal the same day, sub­ mitted by board member-elect Michael Hoffman, that called for an elected opinion page editor and a board-appointed editor. Though the proposal was not decided upon during the five- hour meeting Hoffman said he hopes to see other alternatives, including his own, reviewed in the future. But Craig Daniels, a student TSP board member said he saw no point in prolonging a vote cm the proposal submitted by Lawrence and said he felt "uncomfortable" with outgoing board members making and passing motions in which they would have no role in executing. "Each side has spoken its voice, and there are no new argu­ ments," Daniels said. Lawrence said while student commentary is important she believes foe avenues for input have already been allowed. Other decisions made by the TSP Board included selecting foe managers of the five media entities at the University. Appointments included Kristin Finan, Fall 2001 Texan manag­ ing editor; David Sessions, Texan Summer 2001 managing edi­ tor; Meredith Best, Cactus yearbook editor; Trevor Rosen, Travesty editor; Rosa Madrid, KVRX station manager; and Caroline Connor; KVR-TV station manager Brazilian ambassador speaks on free trade at law school By Jeffrey Norton Daily Texan Staff The ambassador of Brazil discussed the benefits and obstacles associated with free trade between South American countries in conjunction with Latin America Week at the UT School of Law Saturday. Ten years ago, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay formed MERCO- SUL / MERCOSUR, a free trade zone simi­ lar to the North American Free Trade Agreement, in which countries can trade with one another free from import and export taxes. Brazilian Ambassador to the United States Rubens Antonio Barbosa said the collaboration betw een these countries has led to positive advances in several areas. "We've had a harm ony of laws that in the past," has never been done Barbosa said. Argentina and Brazil have reached new levels in trade, Barbosa said, something that w ouldn't have happened in the past due to military interference. "From '64 to '95, there was no way with these military peoples in charge to have a conversation about trade," Barbosa said. The first 10 years of MERCOSUL/ MERCOSUR, which included a rocky start, were comparable to those of the European Union, Barbosa said. "In the '60s in Europe, when integration was just starting, there was a long period when the countries were just stagnant, which is where we were 10 years ago," Barbosa said. to In addition the four countries involved in MERCOSUL/MERCOSUR, 31 other Latin American countries may join. The four countries involved with MER­ COSUL/MERCOSUR trade least with the Brazilian Ambassador to the United States Rubens Antonio Barbosa speaks about free trade between South American countries this past Saturday in the Jeffers Courtroom in the UT School of Law. Lee Ruckman/Daily Texan Staff United States, Barbosa said. Barbosa said trade with the United States and other developed countries is important, although he disagrees with some U.S. labor and environmental stan­ dards. "We will not accept trade sanctions or obligations if tied to labor or environ­ mental standards," Barbosa said."N ot because we're afraid of it, but because some developed countries interpret it dif­ ferently." Eric Sublett, a Plan II senior, said he enjoyed hearing other angles on trade. "It's good to hear a perspective that's different — a non-U.S. perspective — on the agreements," Sublett said. Amit Nihilani, a finance senior, said while he agrees that trade between South American countries is essential for eco­ nomic growth, too much dependence on any other country's economy could "leave the countries more vulnerable to econom­ ic downturn."

The investigation began last June when a TDI survey of 33 companies showed that five companies were negotiating settlement amounts for individuals determined to have paid higher premiums due to race. "We don't know what we are going to find/' said Lee Jones, spokesman for Texas Department of Insurance. Jones said that TDI is investigating the additional companies because they could have purchased smaller companies that might have sold insurance at race-based prices. The investigation focuses primarily on determining whether African Americans sev­ eral years ago were charged more for life insurance policies than Anglos. Insurance companies need to compare records and determine if blacks with the same health history and age as whites were charged the same premium, Jones added. Joe Cappleman, vice president of Memorial Service Life Insurance Company, said it won't take much investigation to determine that his company does not have discriminatory practices. "I know there is no distinction made for race, creed or color," Cappleman said: Cappleman said his research has been easy because he has worked for the company, which has acquired only a few other compa­ nies, since it opened more than 20 years ago. Some companies have acquired 60 or 70 companies and the practices these companies held, making it difficult to determine how some policies were sold, Cappleman said. Discriminatory practices of charging an African American consumer more than a consumer of another race have been docu­ mented said Crystal Thompson, president of the Longhorn Chapter of the NAACP. some time, for "It is unfortunate and definitely discrimi­ natory but not surprising," Thompson said. Thompson said these practices prove that racism exists in the workforce and that indi­ viduals affected by the actions need to receive reparations from companies deter­ mined to have been involved in the practices. "Wrong is wrong," Thompson said. "It doesn't matter how far it dates back." Thompson added that the wrongs can be corrected by educating consumers. "If consumers know about this practice, they will be hesitant to have partnerships with these corporations," Thompson said. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EEYORE! Protesters call for black boycott of Dillard’s On-going trial serves as backdrop for listed demands By The Associated Press HOUSTON — In response to the 1994 death of a black Dillard's cus­ tomer, which is now being litigated, demonstrators rallied Sunday at the location where Darryl Robinson allegedly received his fatal injuries after police hogtied him. "Not one black dime at Dillard's," protesters chanted before a group of black clergymen, backed by about 50 demonstrators, announced a 180-day boycott of the Little Rock, Ark.-based store chain and their demands of com­ pany officials. "We have come mobilized to say our people must be respected with dignity, they must be respeqted as consumers," said Minister Quanell X of the New Black Panther Party. "We say to Dillard's that we know what you have been doing to our people. "We say to Dillard's, we did not come here to pin the tail on the don­ key, we came here to pin the tail on these no-good honkies." Quanell X, assisted by Nation of Islam Minister Robert Muhammad, National Black United Front chapter leader Kofi Taharka and Rev. Chris Wright of Grace Ministries, Jjsted some "initial demands" of Dillam's: • Develop and enforce an anti-racial profiling policy. • Reveal minority sales figures for the last seven years, along with the amount spent on advertising specifi­ cally targeted at black shoppers. •D isclose the racial breakdown of D illard's employees, "all the way from the board of directors to the jan­ itors," Muhammad said. • Make public the racial breakdown of those arrested at Dillard's since 1994. Dillard's spokesman Skip Rutherford has said previously the company does not discriminate against any cus­ tomers. He did not return a call last week regarding the boycott effort. The prote.st was staged at the Galleria-area location where Robinson, 37, w as arrested and hogtied — restrained by linking hands and feet behind the back — after some wit­ nesses say he demanded $1 million and shouted about demons on June 1, 1994. The demonstration occurred as a wrongful cteath lawsuit entered its fourth week. Robinson's relatives are seeking unspecified damages from the department store chain, the city of Houston, five Houston police officers, two Harris County sheriff's deputies and two store guards. Plaintiffs' witnesses have testified D illard's personnel and law enforce­ ment used excessive force to control Robinson. The defense has argued Robinson entered the store June 1, that 1994, and caused a scene demanded he be restrained to prevent him from hurting himself or others. The five Houston police officers hogtied Robinson to prevent him from striking his head while flailing around, city attorneys said. ruled Coroners that initially Robinson died of a heart attack, but one later changed the cause of death to asphyxiation. Robinson's family says the man was unable to breathe properly because of the restraints. In a news release last week, the Houston chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said the group was monitoring the trial and would con­ sult with national officials about any possible actions against the retailer. Rose Garmond, from suburban Missouri City, was among a handful of prospective black shoppers the group convinced to turn around dur­ ing the 30-minute rally. She said she was somewhat aware of the Robinson case but did not know it happened at the store. "They [Dillard's! just ought to do something about this," Garmond said, referring to alleged incidents of racial profiling. At least one Houston police officer watched the demonstration from afar. Neither police nor Dillard's tried to interfere with the rally. Stephanie Aurbach dances at the center of a group of drum mers during the 38th Annual Eeyore’s Birthday Party at Pease Park Saturday.

Thomas Meredith/Daily Texan S ta ff Pig residency, mayor races and bond issues on municipal ballots By The Associated Press said. "He's my baby." HURST — Some cynics would say this isn't the first time a swine has been on the ballot. But in Hurst, voters will decide the future of a real swine: a potbellied pig named Eli. Proposition 1 would allow potbel­ lied pigs living in the Fort Worth sub­ urb since Jan. 1 to be kept as pets. It's one of the ballots voters across the state will face May 5 as they elect leaders, consider school bonds and decide whether council members deserve a raise. Hurst's current animal-control ordinance classifies potbellied pigs as farm animals and requires that they be kept on at least an acre. If the proposition fails, Cindy Wynne, the Hurst resident responsi­ ble for bringing it to a public vote, would have to move or give up Eli, the 6-year-old porcine companion she says should be classified as an exotic animal. "He's not a farm animal," Wynne The 175-pound piggy drinks Dr Pepper and sleeps in a specially enclosed porch with heat and air con­ ditioning. In Hereford, neither pigs nor cows are on the ballot. Nobody is — so no election is being held. Only incumbents filed to run for mayor and two commissioner's seats. They were declared winners weeks ago. The same scenario played out in Deaf Smith County, of which Hereford is the county seat. The county hospital district filled three directors' terms with two incumbents and one unchallenged newcomer. "There's no significant issue that people are rallying around," said Don Cooper, managing editor of The Hereford Brand newspaper. In the border city of McAllen, there's no shortage of candidates for mayor. The race has drawn candi­ dates ranging from a pizza delivery­ man to the controversial- ex-mayor, 81-year-old Othal Brand. The candidates are vying to over­ see the city's first single-member-dis- trict government. Brand — a strong-willed authori­ tarian who dislikes liberals and unions — ruled the city for 20 years. He was defeated in 1997 by McAllen lawyer Leo Montalvo, the city's first Hispanic mayor who also is running for re-election. San Antonio voters also have their pick of a diverse group. With incumbent Mayor Howard Peak forced out by term limits, lW>an Antonians signed up to seek tM job. The list includes two counor mem­ bers who also are casual tiesfof term limits. The candidates range in age ffi)m a 20-year-old film student who advo­ cates limited government to an 80- year-old man who wants to promote job training for young people. In Fort Worth, L.H. Harris admits he's a long shot to unseat Mayor Kenneth Barr. But the 30-year-old computer spe­ cialist says he is fulfilling an impor­ tant role by simply putting his name on the ballot. Barr won a special election in 1996 and was re-elected in 1997 and again in 1999. The son of former Fort Worth Mayor Willard Barr, he has been cred­ ited with helping the city recover last year after a tornado ravaged down­ town. In El Paso, four high-profile candi­ dates and two dark horses are seek­ ing the mayoralty. Many residents think their next mayor will greatly influence the quality of life and eco­ nomic future of the border city. The candidates include former mayor Larry Francis; Ray Caballero, who was instrumental in a state sen­ ate report exposing inequities in funding for social services and high­ ways in border communities; former U.S. Customs Service official Belen Robles, the former national president of the League of United Latin American Citizens; and El Paso city J EVEN IN G C O U R S E S FO R T H E SU M M ER U niversity Extension Offers You Convenient Courses That Won’t Interfere With Your Schedule, Whether You Got A Summer Job, An Internship, Or Whether You Simply Want To Avoid The Afternoon’s Heat.

Money is the big issue in Dallas, where a referendum would provide a $60,000 a year salary to the Dallas mayor and $37,500 annually to coun­ cil members. Elected officials now earn $50 per meeting. Proponents say an annual salary would reduce temptation for corrup­ tion and encourage more people to seek public office. But opponents say the plan would cost too much and undermines the city manager form of government. Dallas voters have defeated similar measures ^even times. In San Marcos, voters will be asked to approve a $93.5 million school bond issue that may be jeopardized by the district's financial woes. A financial analysis of the inde­ pendent school district shows the system could go bankrupt within 18 months. The bonds are slated for building and maintenance of school facilities. However, even if the bonds are approved, they would have (to be issued in "small, staggered, incre­ ments," because there are no funds to support the improvements with new staff and expanded operational costs, financial experts say. In the Harris County portion of Baytown, voters will decide whether to create a municipal development district to manage a half-cent sales tax for economic development. The tax will raise the sales tax rate to 8.25 percent and generate about $3 million each year to lure new busi­ ness and industry. M SflfTI Student Heritage Houses, Inc.

S e e Pag* 11 T he Daily T exan S ports Monday April 30, 2001 Women’s tennis captures Big 12 championship Masongsong’s crucial singles victory allows Longhorns to take home fifth consecutive title By Bob Jones Daily Texan Staff WACO — For Longhorn Joanne Masongsong, her Big 12 Championship clinching match was strictly personal. Not that Masongsong harbors any grudge toward Oklahoma State's Linda Faltynkova. But without a main score­ board to check at Baylor's Streich Tennis Center; the Texas junior had no idea of the importance of her tiebreaker- decided two set victory at the third seed, 6-1,7-6, (7-4). "Honestly, I had no idea whether we had won or lost," Masongsong said. "I drought we might have lost, and they were just making us play it out. I would have played a smarter point [at match point], if I knew it counted for the title." After going up 5-1 in the second set, Masongsong was unable to close the match out, allowing Faltynkova to win five straight games until Masongsong was able to take one back and push tire match to a tiebreak. TEXAS Tennis The 4-3 victory over the Cowgirls _ was met with relief and a healthy sense of optimism by head coach Jeff Moore, who has faced his share of adversity this sea­ son. Not only did the Horns lose their first conference match in ten years dur­ ing the year, but also lost senior ace Janet Walker for over half the season with a shoulder injury. "What has hurt us in the past is that our players have gotten in tight situa­ « tions, and gotten down and fed off each othei;" Moore said. "But now, they're turning it around, and we're getting a lot of positive efforts like Rebekah Forney's today [a 6-2, 6-4 loss to Katia Kolodynska], and players are feeding off that now. And that's what has to happen in team tennis." Another one of those positive efforts came cour­ tesy of Walker, playing in her last Big 12 tournament, M bu* count all the same. playing After « Q h S e l - i t i t i i . . . . i . i i timidly in her doubles match, Walker came back from the break dominant and with avengeance after several line calls had not gone her way during dou­ bles. In under an hour's time, Walker handily dispatched with Oklahoma State's Dominika Olszewska 6-0,6-0. "I came out tentatively in doubles today, and in between the break I told myself, 'Look, I'm going to go for it,"' Walker said. "So then I was able to turn it around. I was fired up, and I felt like I was on my game." To get to Sunday's final match against the No. 2 seeded Cowgirls, top ranked Texas first had to contend with Colorado, and then rival Texas A&M in the semis. The Horns swept both matches 4 0 , but the crushing of the Aggies, who had nr / i i « _______ 1____L 1 ^ ended Texas' untouchable streak against conference foes a week earlier, elicited an deluge of positive feelings from the team and Moore. Also instrumental in Texas' wins over the Aggies and the Cowgirls was junior Kaysie Smashey, who had expe­ rienced her ups and downs throughout the season. Smashey, after earlier going on a team-long 11-match winning streak, dropped her next four out of six, as she was in the midst of illness. However, she seemed to turn her luck around this weekend, defeating her opponents with her serve-and-volley emphasis, dropping only seven games the entire weekend. "I was just trying to impose my game on my opponent rather than seeing what they're going to do and reacting to r it," Smashey said. "I was more proac­ i a m e m n m nm a r.. “ Í tive. And that's what I have to do to play well, relax and just focus on the things that I have to do." After the Big 12 trophy had been pre­ sented to the Horns for the fifth time in a row, Moore — who is now tied for sec­ ond on the all-time wins list for a Division I women's tennis coach — was already looking to use the triumph in time for the NCAA Regionals, which will begin May 12. "I think the team has learned a lot of hard lessons during the regular sea­ son," Moore said. "And if you allow' yourself to draw' some positives from that, then good things can happen. This is the second season, so it's like starting over and building on what we have learned." American Pride Jo n es becom es fir s t A m erican to win an LPGA event this y e a r pressure on Jones, who was already dealing with Baena. "E a rly on, M arisa and I were m atching each other hole for hole, so I thought it was going to be down to u s," Jones said. "But on the 16th hole, I started to hear cheers for Kimmie and I realized she was prob­ ably going to be the one in the hunt." Jones had ham m ered out only three birdies at that point, and also dropped a bogey on 13 to help both Baena and Kim to an eVerrtual tie for the lead. t Kim then took the advantage with a birdie on 17, while IJaena, whQ fin­ ished third at; ll-u n d e r ^ r o p p e d off on 17 with a bogey to fall a couple of strokes behind Kim. That left only Jones to contend, and she made the m ost of it to finish her round at 68. "I just went on the attack," Jones said. "I focused on what I had to do, and blocked, everything else out. I didn't w ant to think too much and make a m istake." She didn't make a mistake, and eventually garnered a title that had eluded Am ericans all year. "It's special," Jones said. "Now, w e're going to have to start a streak of our ow n." 2001 LPGA TOUR KATHY IRELAND CHAMPIONSHIP Leaderboard ROUND ONE (M R 70) By Damien Pierce Daily Texan S ta ff Before Rosie Jones teed up the fourth and final round of the Kathy Ireland Cham pionship, the golfer was handed a miniature Statue of Liberty from a child to put in her golf bag. An Am erican golfer hadn t won an LPGA Tour title in 10 consecutive tries, and fans all over the 6,076- yard Onion Creek Club golf course were attem pting to provide Jones with w hatever patriotic inspiration she needed to end the drought. But it was the small green lady in her bag that did the trick. After' every swing, Jones reached' in her bag for Lady Luck and every time, the statue came throueh for the A m erican as Jones brought the world of golf to its knee Sunday afternoon by holding off K orea's Mi Hyun Kim in a playoff to win the championship. "The media put a lot of hype and pressure on the Am erican players to do something about it," Jones said of the longest LPGA streak without an Am erican winner in history. "I d on't think I got how im portant it was to the fans for us to win one until I touched that little statue. There was something bigger about this and it makes this win more spe: cial." Jones birdied the first playoff hole to th w art Kim by a stroke and becom e the first Am erican to win a tournam ent this year. Jones and Kim both finished four rounds of golf at 12-under par 268 after the Am erican was able to force a playoff with a birdie on the final hole. Jones then birdied 18th green again with a 4-foot putt in the play­ off, w hile Kim only m anaged to make par by coming up short on a 10-footer for the tie. "W hew ," Jones exclaim ed as she w aived an Am erican flag after her 11th career victory. "Thank God that putt went in. You have no idea how nervous you get with all eyes on you, and knowing that there is a lot riding on one little p u tt." Jones, who began the day tied with M arisa Baena for the lead at 9- under, basically willed herself to the opportunity. She approached the p ar-5 18th hole in regulation, trailing Kim by a stroke. But the American w as able to pull off her first of two birdies on the 18th green with two strong drives, and a chip shot at the bottom of a hill that placed the ball w ithin a foot of the hole. Jones couldn't see the 39-foot shot, but after hearing the crowd roar, she raced up the hill and began pum ping her fists in approval when sh e sáw wheTe she placed it. She then knocked it in and sent the m atch to playoff. Kim was then unable to m atch the A m erican, and keep the internation­ al streak of wins rolling. "I w asn 't com fortable with the 18th hole," Kim said. "I wanted to finish with par on 18, and force the playoff to 17 because th a t's where I was able to get birdies during the w eek." The 18th certainly proved to be a nem esis for Kim. The Korean golfer had an oppor­ tunity to win the tournam ent in reg­ ulation, but came up short on a 12- foot putt for birdie. Kim had to set­ tle for par, giving Jones a shot to make up ground. She then, of course, couldn't get another putt to fall in the playoff, m arking the second tim e this season she has lost on the final hole. fell "L a st time, it was a bad tee shot," to Annika said Kim , who S oren stam at the O ffice Depot Tournam ent two weeks ago in Los Angeles. "This time it w as a bad putt because it didn't even touch the hole. I am not happy w ith my put­ ting." It w as a tough finish for what had been strong couple of days for Kim. Kim fired a 64 on Saturday to pull within a stroke of co-lead ers Jones and Baena, and after beginning the final day with a bogey, she managed to reel off five birdies en route to a 67.

When Bob Dylan sang those lyrics, he wasn't talking about the No. 21 Texas baseball team. But the words aptly describe what's happening to the Longhorns as they spiral into despair in the sea­ son's final stretch.

"H e's going to transfer, and I'll do any­ thing I can do to help him, but that's my team policy with regard to releases," said Leach, who met with Williams Saturday. "The biggest thing is we've made an invest- ment in a player we gave a scholarship. He decided for his reasons to move on, and I hope it all works out." Williams is "not commenting" on the report, Texas Tech sports inform ation department spokesman Jo Jo Freeman said Sunday. The restrictions could prevent Williams from transferring to Texas Q iristian , a school in which he reportedly had shown interest. He visited Georgia on a recruiting trip in high school and knows the offensive coor­ dinator at Arizona, Rick Dykes, who for­ merly held that position at Tech. Williams will have two years of college eligibility left after, sitting out the 2001 season, per NCAA transfer rules. His decision to leave comes after a disap­ pointing sophom ore season in Leach's pass-based offensive system. W illiams rushed for 223 yards on 55 carries last sea­ son after totaling 658 yards on 112 carries as a freshman under head coach Spike Dykes. This spring, Williams played on Tech's baseball team and shared running back duties in practice with two other players. As a senior at Andrews High School, Williams led all Texas Class 4A rushers with 2,121 yards. Reds Time with Griffey injured looking for Prime CINCINNATI — Ken Griffey Jr., who has been unable to do anything but pinch hit because of a hamstring injury, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday. The Cincinnati Reds finally made the move prior to Sunday's game at Colorado. But they don't plan to make a corresponding roster move until Tuesday, when they open a series at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers. That is when Deion Sanders becomes eligi­ ble for promotion from Triple-A Louisville. Sanders, 33, has not played in the major leagues since 1997, when he quit baseball to concentrate on playing comerback for the Dallas Cowboys and then the Washington Redskins. But Sanders' baseball prospects blossomed this spring, and he leads the International League in batting at .463. Griffey, who suffered a partial tear of his left hamstring training, has in spring appeared in 16 games as a pinch hitter. He was 0-for-12, with three walks and one hit batsman.

Delay doesn’t affect rowers in Kansas meet By Chrlssy Goodnight Daily Texan Sports A fter w aiting about five hours in the heat, the w om en's row ing varsity eight squad had the perfect w eather to beat their Big 12 and other nearby rivals. The finals of the first u n o fficial Big 12 w om en's row ing cham pi­ onships — that w ere held on Turtle C reek Lake in M anhattan, K ansas — were supposed to begin in the afternoon, but were delayed late into the night due to quartering ta il­ w inds blow ing at speeds up to 20 mph. The varsity eight race, the last event of the regatta, was scheduled at 3:45 p.m ., but actu­ ally began at 8:42 p.m . This did not stray the th eir from rs* ^ L on g h orn s m ain go Is. R f l W I I \ "T h e delay before our fin al race gave our team more tim e to fo cu s," co­ captain Brianna W eeks said. "B y the tim e we raced the w ater was nice and calm ."

"T h ey showed a lot of poise and never seem ed to get down this w eekend." It was sm ooth row ing as w ell for the first and second novice team s this w eekend. Both team s took second place, being defeated only by their toughest com petitors, the K ansas Jayhaw ks. The novice eight squad finished their race in 6:51.6, ju st five seconds after Kansas. The second novice eight squad finished strong claim ing second place as w ell. The second varsity eight squad, w hich has been plagued w ith in ju ries this w hole year, m ade its contribution to the team , finishing the race in 6:52.9, and placing second to K ansas as w ell.

The squad took third in its com petition, w ith a tim e of 7:34.2. "A s a team, the varsity accom plished two goals this w eekend: we executed our race plans and we gave our novices a lot of expe­ rien ce," Weeks said.

Hunter runs streak to three at Penn Relays By Mercedes Parker Daily Texan Staff Just last weekend junior pole vaulter Brian Hunter said his next goal was to clear 19 feet. And on Saturday, as the pres­ tigious Penn Relays brought together some of the top athletes in the nation, Hunter got one-step closer. Hunter cleared what would be the eighth-best mark in the world this year, 18-feet, 8-inches, to take the Penn Relays title, and he did it in fashion. Not only did Hunter win his third victo­ ry in a row — his fourth in the last five weeks — and his second Penn Relays title in the last three years, but he also set the mark that is now at the top of the national leader-board. Hunter, a transfer from Virginia Tech who hails from Chesapeake, Va., was able to set this personal record with his entire family in attendance. "I am still trying to get down from the high," Hunter said. "I really tried to get the crowd involved, and they were really behind me. That made things much easier for me. I've just been taking things week- by-week, and so far it's worked out great. I really enjoyed myself today, and it was great to be back on the East Coast and per­ form in front of my family." Back&Field Hunter cleared a personal-best 18-6 1 /2 ___________________ last weekend at the L o n g h o r n Invitational, and if things add up cor­ rectly, he just may be able to hit that coveted 19-foot mark by the NCAA Outdoor Championáhips, which start May 30. "Brian looked great in clearing 18-8 and the guys were really excited for him," Texas head coach Bubba Thornton1 said. "He continues to work hard in practice and is showing improvement each week." Also showing his strength in the field events at Philadelphia's Franklin Field was freshman Dylan Armstrong. He led the hammer throw until the fifth round when Thomas Freeman of Manhattan threw 220-feet 11-inches. Armstrong came in second with a toss of 220-feet 6-inches, his third NCAA qualifying mark in three competitions this season. The Texas 4xl00-m eter relay team, which won last year's Penn Relays, fin­ ished second at 40.40 seconds. Amar Johnson, Chris Clay, Michael Franklin and Nathanael Esprit were edged out by North Carolina A&T, who won with a time of 40.10. Sophomore Jermaine Cooper crossed the finish line just after Clemson's Sultan Tucker for third place in the 110-meter hurdles. Both Cooper and Tucker finished at 13.81-seconds, right behind Kris Allen of Texas A&M at 13.78. That marked Cooper's sixth qualifying mark, automatic or provisional, in nine races this season. Other top finishes for the Horns were seniors Calvin Williams and David Aaron, who both competed in the 400-meter hur­ dles Saturday. Williams took fifth place at 51.80, and Aaron, who was competing in his first intermediate hurdles race of the outdoor season, came in ninth with a time of 52.11. Senior Chris Hercules took fifth place in the long jump on Friday with a leap of 24- feet, 7 1 /4-inches, and he finished off the meet Saturday with a 51-feet, 1 1 / 2-inch mark for seventh place in the triple jump.' "Overall, I think we are in good shape heading into the last month of the season," Thornton said. "Now it's time to get ready for the conference meet." No. 13 Texas will compete in the Big 12 Championships May 16-19 in College Station, but not before a stop at home next week to host the Texas Invitational at Mike A. Myers Stadium on Friday and Saturday. Horns get relaxation in Pennsylvania By Avery Holton . Daily Texan Staff On Day 2 of the 107th annual Penn Relays, w om en's head track coach Bev Kearney reinforced her ideas for the H orns in Pennsylvania. "T h is m eet isn 't about w inning or show ing ev eryone that y o u 're the fastest," Kearney said. "T h is is just a chance for the girls to get out there and run in front of a large crowd, a chance to have a little bit of fun ." K earney also noted that w hile the Penn Relays them selves are an im por­ tant h istorical event, the m eet itself really offers more of a touch-up atm os­ phere than anything else. . • "T h is is one of the last m eets we have before the big m eets," Kearney said. "O n ce we get done here, w e'll start focusing on what really needs im provem ent." The big m eets Kearney speaks of include both the Big 12 C onference the NCAA C ham p ion sh ip s O utdoor C ham pionships.

The Express, now 17-7, are only two games ahead of the San Antonio Missions, which shutout Tulsa 3-0 on Sunday. Round Rock got wrangled by Wichita, 8-3, cm Sunday, putting the squad into its first slump of the season with the three-game losing streak. Four Express hurlers allowed eight runs on 12 hits, and walked eight bat­ ters, while fanning cmly six. To add insult to injury, Express man­ ager Jackie Moore, catcher Carlos Maldonado and pitcher Brandon Puffer were all ejected by home plate umpire Bill Van Raaphorst for arguing balls and strikes. 'It was a tough day," Moore said. "We've played very well and we realize that you're going to have these type of ballgames. You don't like to see it, but it does happen." Early in the game, it looked as if Round Rock would be on its way to a blowout victory, as the Express tagged Wichita lefty Jeremy Affeldt for two runs on three base hits in the first inning. But in the third frame, Wichita's Joe Caruso smacked a solo shot over the left field fence to cut the lead to one. Jason Lane came back to give the Express another two-run lead in the bottom of the third, blasting a 400-foot bomb into Round Rock's bullpen. The solo homer was Lane's league-leading ninth of the season, but that would be all the offense the Express could muster. Wichita took the lead in the sixth, when Steve Medrano slapped a two- run single through the left side of the infield. Medrano was 2-4 on the day with three RBI. "We've been struggling recently," Medrano said. "I've been struggling as well and I guess I was due. I felt great up there today." Wichita added four more runs before the game ended, one of which was Caruso's second dinger of the day in die seventh inning. Caruso, who was bat­ ting only .133 with no RBI before Sunday, went 3-5, driving in three runs. "I have to give a lot of credit to our skipper [Keith Bodie]," Caruso said. "He put me in the lineup when things were going bad. When things are bad, managers tend to get down on players, but he kept his confidence in me. Fortunately, today was a day where I came out and proved to him that I can play a little bit. It was a day that I need­ ed to have." These two squads will play the finale of the four-game series tonight. Wichita will be going for the sweep over Round Rock tonight at the Dell Diamond. The Express is feeling its worst slump of the season with three straight losses Cristie Taylor/Daily Texan Staff Longhorns blanked by Nebraska in weekend series By Kevin Kustiner< Daily Texan Staff Texas celebrated its five seniors before Sunday's game, honoring their contributions to the softball program over the past four sea­ sons as part of the Senior Day fes­ tivities. Each senior was applaud­ ed loudly as they were introduced to the crowd of 895 prior to the opening pitch. But No. 12 Nebraska quickly ruined the jovial mood by scoring six runs in the first inning en route to a 10-0 victory that was abbreviated by the mercy rule. The Cornhuskers were also victo­ rious in Saturday's game, winning 2- 0. • TEXAS Softbal _________ " T o d a y was a diffi­ cult day," head Texas coach Connie Clark said. "They [Nebraska] real­ ly came out and jumped on us." The Cornhuskers pounded out six hits and capitalized on a Texas error on their way to a six run first inning. After retiring the first hit­ ter, Texas starter Charla Moore allowed nine straight batters to reach base before Natalie King came on in relief. Moore, a senior who holds a number of Texas career pitching records, suffered her shortest outing of the season. "Charla is as disappointed as anyone," Clark said. "She was expecting to have a big day." Nebraska pitcher Peaches James (13-4) gave a strong showing for the Cornhuskers. The freshman struckout five Longhorns batters and earned her fourth shutout of the season. In Saturday's game, Nebraska hurler Leigh-Ann Walker (19-5) posted a shutout to lead the Cornhuskers to a 2-0 victory. Walker — the NCAA leader in strikeouts — retired 13 of the 24 batters she faced on strikes. "She has a fantastic riseball and was getting ahead in the count," Clark said. "You have to give her credit, she had a great game for them." just Texas m anaged three baserunners, but Nebraska^ took advantage of its opportunities. Texas starter Natalie King strug­ gled with her control, allowing five walks in just three innings of work. King was able to keep Nebraska off of the scoreboard through the first three innings. But in the fourth inning, King walked Ambar Burgess then allowed a Nicole Trimboli inning. With run­ ners on first and second and no outs, King was replaced by Moore. After a sacrifice bunt advanced both runners, Cindy Roethmeyer singled down the left filed line, plating both of the runners and giving Nebraska a 2-0 advantage they would not relinquish. the "Natalie was able to get out of some jams early but we decided to make to Moore change because Natalie was having some control problems," Clark said. "I thought Charla pitched well, they just got the big hit." The two weekend losses sink Texas' record to 4-12 in conference play and 23-27 overall. The Horns have dropped six consecutive conference contests. Texas will play its last regular season games Wednesday against Texas Tech at McCombs Field. refuse to race in inaugural By The Associated Press FORT WORTH — CART drivers refused to compete Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway over safety issues, saying G forces almost twice as high as normal were causing vision and hearing problems Series officials said there wasn't enough time to make changes and postponed the inaugural Firestone Firehawk 600 just before its sched­ uled start. The drivers balked after holding a lengthy meeting hours before the race. Some complained of vertigo during practice sessions. "The G forces were beyond what I could have ever imagined," said Michael Andretti, the biggest winner in CART history. "This is something we never thought of happening. " Teams said the G forces were above 5, and that all but four of the 26 driv­ ers experienced some sort of inner ear or vision problems after running more than 10 laps at time. The others did not go those distances. "The Gs were exceeding what the human body should be able to toler­ ate," said Dr. Steve Olvey, director of medical services for CART. "There was too high G-loading with the guys at this speed on this particular track. "This is a situation that in my 25 years involved in motorsports I've never heard of or seen." G forces in the range of 3 are gen­ erally as high as drivers pull on most race tracks. CART CEO Joseph Heitzler said the sanctioning body was consider­ ing rescheduling the race for later in the year. He said there was no oppor­ tunity to make immediate changes to the cars or the racing surface. "We are in uncharted waters," he said. The postponement comes at a time when safety is a top concern in rac­ ing, the attention heightened after the death two months ago of NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt in the season- opening Daytona 500. Four NASCAR drivers have been killed in the last 11 months, two at New Hampshire International Speedway. Heitzlef refused to blame the track for Sunday's action. "This is not an issue of safety at this track," he said. "This was safety of the drivers in their performance of their skiljs." The track had no input into the discussions Sunday morning, general manager Eddie Gossage said. But he was critical of CART for its dealings with the track. Gossage said questions about rac­ ing here were raised by track officials as recently as 10 days ago. There was no open testing, and the standard accepted by CART was the 220-224- mph range Kenny Brack established in a private test. Brack won the pole for the race with a speed of 233.447 mph, and drivers were turning even faster laps in practice. The Indy Racing League has com­ peted at TMS since 1997, and plans to return June 9 for the Casino Magic 500. Billy Boat set the IRL qualifying record of 225.979 mph in 1998. "It should have been sufficiently tested months and months and months ago," Gossage said. "Both TMS and the fans are frustrated by what has happened." Texas Motor Speedway is banked at 24 degrees in the turns, allowing drivers to race at full throttle all the way around. ■ At first, most drivers thought they were alone in their feelings about rac­ ing Sunday, but began a dialogue that grew into virtual unanimity. "When you saw 24 hands go up, everyone was silent," Bryan Herta said. The postponement is not the first over safety in CART. A race at Michigan International Speedway was put off in 1985 because of concerns over the radial tires Goodyear was to introduce on the circuit. After three accidents before the race, several drivers refused to compete. Goodyear solved the problem by withdrawing the radials, and the race was run safely six days later with bias-ply tires. NASCAR stars struck over tire concerns before the inaugural race in Talladega, Ala., in 1969, and were replaced. That race also was complet­ Ft Worth ed without major problems, and the regulars were back in the cars for the next event. CART drivers had a lengthy meet­ ing last year after Patrick Carpenfier crashed in practice for the Honda Grand Prix of Monterey in Laguna Seca, Calif. A year earlier, rookie Gonzalo Rodriguez was killed while practicing on that track. Changes were made to the road course last year, and the race went on. The 1 1 /2-mile quad oval here is owned by Speedway Motorsports Inc., and underwent some remiliing and widening of its fourth turn after NASCAR drivers complained about safety when they first began racing there. There also was a problem with water seepage from the asphalt at the track where the Winston Cup circuit has raced since 1997. Season looking grim after pair of losses to Iowa State BASEBALL, from 9 Sunday, but that win was rendered largely irrelevant by the two losses. Iowa State isn't exactly in the cate­ gory of Baylor and Rice, two nationally ranked programs, but the three clubs now have something in common: they're all 2-1 against the Horns this season. On Sunday, Texas benefited from a strong pitching performance from starter Ray Clark (3-2), who tossed a complete game and yielded no earned runs, scattering seven hits and striking out five. Sunday's win snapped a five-game losing skid that began in Waco April 21. "Ray Clark pitched exceptionally well, and the defense played well behind him," Texas coach Augie Garrido told KVET radio Sunday. "Early in the going, the team was alert and it was sharp. It is a good game when you turn something losing streak like a five-game around — it's a big game." Texas put up its first runs in the third frame, loading the bases on Eddie Romprey's single, Kalani Napoleon's walk and an error by ISU starter Charly Bigwood (2-7) that allowed Ryan Hubele to reach first. Ben King drove Romprey home and Napoleon to third with a sacri­ fice fly, and Matt Rosenberg plated Napoleon with another fly out. Hubele later scored on a Jeff Ontiveros single to left. The Cyclones would load the bases in the bottom of the fourth, but Ryan Wickham lined out to Texas third baseman Ryan Brooks to end the threat. Texas added three more runs in the seventh, as Romprey reached on another error and scored on a Napoleon double to right-center. King doubled home Napoleon and later scored on Wickham's second error of the day. "It was an important one, a really important one," Garrido said of the Sunday win. "I thought we did a much better job offensively, with two strikes and hitting with run­ ners in scoring position and sus­ taining rallies. I thought that was the difference in the game." Texas' offense was practically non-existent during the first two games of the series, when the Horns scored a combined two runs. innings, Iowa State shut Texas out on Saturday, 2-0. Starter Alan Bomer (5-4) allowed only four hits in eight and Alex scoreless Donnelly pitched a perfect ninth, striking out two, for his fourth save. Texas' Justin Simmons (6-3) last­ ed only 3 2/3 innings, yielding five hits and two earned runs, before Albert Montes relieved him and pitched 4 1/3 scoreless frames. Despite Iowa State's status as a team that has never advanced to the Big 12 tournament, and despite the Cyclones' sub-.500 record, Garrido deferred criticism of his team, instead praising Iowa State's per­ formance. "It is a tough on the road, but I think what we ran into was an exceptional pitcher who had a good day," Garrido said Saturday. "The fans that aren't here may think that we let down, or hadn't recovered or had our heads down. I think every­ one that was in the ballpark under­ stood that that wasn't the case at all. "Even though we're on the road, and there's all the perceptions, of how can anyone lose to Iowa State, that's all changed. The playing field has leveled, and certainly, they're a much better ballclub." On Friday, Texas took a 2-0 lead into the ninth, as starter Gerrit Simpson (5-3) pitched eight shutout innings but fell in the final frame. ISU pinch-hitter Jake Brown led off the inning with a double, advancing to third on a T.J. Bohn single. The next batter, Rob Conway, singled to third base, scor­ ing Brown, and Bohn scored when Brandon Cashman singled to left, tying the game. at 1-1 by scoring the first singles win of the day with Domanski defeating Davis 6-3, 7-6 (7 -4 ) at the No. 6 position. Aggies stop Texas in Big 12 tournament title match TENNIS, from 9 dropping the doubles point with a loss at the No. 3 spot as A&M's Cody Hubbell and Jarin Skube teamed up to take care of Michael Domanski and Ryan Haymond 8- 5. Tres Davis and Ryan Newport clinched the point for the Aggies with their win 8-6 over Craig Edmondson and Jose Zarhi at the No. 2 spot. Texas is 15-0 when winning the doubles point, and 2-5 when los­ ing it this year. Texas clearly must focus on winning the doubles to be successful in the NCAA tourna­ ment, which takes place May 12- 13, it will have to focus on win­ ning the doubles point. Also, Texas avenged its regular season-ending loss to the No. 29 Baylor sem ifinals on Saturday night by defeating the Bears 4-1 on their home courts. However, that would be the last match Texas would win, as the team lost the next three singles matches, giving Texas A&M the win. Despite the loss, Texas was able to make things interesting by forcing a third set in three of the six doubles matches while being on the brink of forcing a third set "From the beginning to the end, our team fought incredibly hard," Center said. "The match played out like I thought it might have with doubles being a critical point." The Horns started out the week­ end with a 4-0 sweep of the Nebraska Cornhuskers (9-14) in the first round of the tournament. in another match before Aggies clinched their victory. The Horns evened the match up the the in Texas brought Albert Montes to Joe Urban, who singled down the the mound to relieve Simpson, third-base line to bring in the but Montes was unable to retire winning run.

White, contributors give a glimpse of life at popular ‘TopFive.com’ Web site Rrom TOP, 16 or being thoroughly ripped apart on The O'Reilly Factor. The site's early brushes with the mainstream media came with their first annual celebrity lists. White would find their e-mail any­ way he could, and the lucky celeb would get to be the administrator of their very own list for that day. Big names that have been the victim of a TopFive list include filmmaker Michael Moore, X-rated film star Asia Carrera, Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, rock band Smash Mouth, Dallas Maverick's owner Mark Cuban and game show host Pat Sajack, who loved his list so much that White made him a regular contributor. Then in August of 1997, the site ran a list called "The Top 15 Chinese Translations of English Movie Titles" where the titles were fictionally shoved in the proverbial meat grinder of language miscommunication. For example: Babe translated means The Happy Dumpling-to-be Who Talks And Solves Agricultural Problems. But then a year later, the list was attached to a Wall Street Journal article and The New York Times followed with a feature story on how English movie titles are poorly translated, and the list was included in the story as fact, not comical fiction. White called the paper to inform them of their mistake, but they refused to believe him. Soon, they realized it was fake and they quickly printed a retraction but the story was alfeady spread over every wire in the country, and reporters were using the list as a real source. The biggest victim eventually became World News Tonight with Peter Jennings when Jennings read part of the translation list on one of his broadcasts. He, too, made a retraction the next day. Eventually, everyone got the joke and the events that ensued were immortalized with a clue on Jeopardy! and with a chapter based on the inci­ dent in a book by movie critic Richard Roeper, Roger Ebert's new on-air part­ ner. But TopFive's biggest debacle to date involved former Vice President A1 Gore. During the 2000 election, many newspapers were reporting Gore's heavy use of Jewish humor in many of hi9 speeches, but most of the jokes he was using were actually from a list written by TopFive's writers. "That w as our list of 'Jewish Country & Western Song Titles,'" White said. "Someone evidently for­ warded it to Mr. Gore or one of his PRICELESS CONTRIBUTIONS Here’s a look at what some of the Internet’s best comedy writers (who, unfortunately, still have to work for a living) have to say about contributing to TopFive.com ... Bruce Ansley, Network Anatywt for NASA “Actually, not only is there pleasure in seeing your name, but there is the sheer joy of beating out other wannabees for the top slot. The feeling is not unlike being the class clown in a roomful of cut-ups who not only gets the whole class laughing, but the teacher guffawing as well .” Doug Finney, Attorney “The money, th e. drugs, the chicks it’s amazing, man. Oops, that's what it’s like to be a rock star. Actually, writing for TopFive.com is pretty similar, except for the lack of money, drugs and chicks.” Mark Weiss, Former Judge, currently an attorney “Being a writer for TopFive.com is fun, invigorating and competitive. It hones the mental knives. And when my material is selected, I feei a real sense of accomplishment. And I get to howl, * ‘Woo-hoo!’ Folks at the office have learned to ignore me when I do that.” speechwriters, and before long he was using some of the list items in speech­ es to predominantly Jewish audiences, joking with them that these were some of the Jewish songs you could hear in his home state of Tennessee." Of course in politics, things can get nasty at the push of a button and many pundits began accusing the Gore team of stealing the site's materi­ al, sending the site into yet another media frenzy. "We got some great publicity out of it, and I've got a signed letter from A1 thanking TopFive for its material hang­ ing on my wall," White said. TopFive is also another member of a more serious list — it's a survivor in a declining economy. dot-com Contributor Doug Finney, who by day is an attorney from Houston, believes that low overhead and high quality comedy has kept the site thriving. "It's genuinely funny and fresh," Finney said. "Plus Chris has gotten a lot of truly funny people to work for free. I mean, paying health benefits will bring down even the most rip- roaring, knee-slappingest of sites. So, the only downside is that we can't slap our knees too hard. I mean, who wants to pay out of Iris or her own pocket to treat a bruised knee?" "The electrons in the TopFive list are as fresh as today's headlines and as insightful as tomorrow's therapy ses­ sion," Bruce Ansley, a network analyst for NASA who resides in Baltimore, said. "Chris does a great job at mixing current event topics like 'Signs the President isn't Ecologically Minded' like with 'Reasons Use Computers.'" the completely Dogs Don't inane White is also planning to expand the sitei by exploring new sources of revenue. Right now, the site only sells enrollment in Club TopFive, a premium list service. But White says he's look­ ing into publishing books based on TopFive material, selling T-shirts and syndicated newspaper columns. Currently, the site gets over two mil­ lion hits every month. But despite all the attention the site gets, the spotlight still remains on TopFive's contributors who are some of the Internet's best comedy writers, most of whom come from very unlike­ ly occupations. Lev L. Spiro, a writer and director who has worked on shows like Dawson's Creek, Arli$$ and Gilmore Girls definitely has "the number one reason why it's great to be a writer for TopFive.com." "Conjure this image in your head. You're making passionate love with a beautiful woman on a white sand beach in the South Pacific. Got it? Well, writing for TopFive.com is noth­ ing like that," Spiro said. "It's more like gazing at a picture of Dick Cheney wearing a speedo, while sitting in a grungy bus stop outside of Priamus, New Jersey. But it pays less." The D aily Texan Monday, April 30, 2001 15 Phil Woods and UT Jazz Orchestra put on dynamic show Saturday night By Stuart Brooks Daily Texan Staff Saturday evening w as a red-let­ ter day for Austin. Eeyore's birth­ day w as on fire with Austin deca­ dence; proud Texans had a new museum and a President to pine over; and UT had all the raw^ of the Forty Acres Fest. For the jazz- heads in Austin there was another reason to mark the calendar: Phil Woods was in town. Phil Woods cut his alto sax in the golden age of Bop, refining his technique with a list of names to salivate over. Am ong many others, he studied alongside Lennie Tristano in the late Forties, worked with Bop guitarist Jimmy Raney in 1955, accompanied the Dizzy Gillespie Orchestra in 1958, and toured the Soviet Union with Benny G oodm an 1962. Categorized by some as "the new Bird," Woods takes more than musical virtuosity from Charlie Parker, marrying his former wife in the fifties. Today, Woods con­ tinues to personify one of the most creative art movements of the last century. As tenor saxo­ phonist Paul White commented after the show, "man, he's been around forever!" in It w as clear that a large part of the audience on Saturday was gathered to witness one of the few Bop legends still doing the rounds. This sentiment w as made clear by the subdued hush that follow ed the announcement by Jazz the director of Orchestra, Jeff Hellmer, that the JO would play the first half of the show without Phil. It was, as it turned out, an unduly harsh sen­ timent by far. the UT Saturday's show was one of the last performances for many of the Jazz Orchestra, which has consis­ tently show cased a number of very talented m usicians. For those of you who frequent the Elephant Room on occasion, the Jazz Orchestra consists of many familiar faces. Transposed to the big-band style of the JO and to the m assive H ogg Auditorium from the on Congress, the ensem ble high­ lights the versatility of saxophon­ ists Mace H ibbard and Paul White, bassist Marc Miller, and drummer David Glover in partic­ ular. sm oke-filled club When Phil Woods eventually took to the stage, his enormous presence did nothing to detract from the ambiance created by the Jazz Orchestra. With his torso hunched over his sax and his leather cap nodding to the heavy sw ing of the band, Phil Woods instead added a spark of energy from the ensemble. The second set consisted entire­ ly of Woods' repertoire, much of which paid homage to his unique history. Tunes were dedicated to some of his greatest friends and influences, such as Benny Carter ("M y Man Benny") and pianist Bill Evans ("G oodbye, Mr. Evans"), which were performed with as much passion from the sixteen-piece Orchestra as by the composer standing among them. This passion came to its peak dur­ ing "R epetition ," arranged by Neal Hefti alon gside Charlie Parker ("A big influence"), a sw inging tune in which Mace Hibbard and David Box took to the mic with Woods, completing each oth er's im provised lines, further demonstrating the dexter­ ity of these local musicians. The presence of Phil Woods among the UT Jazz Orchestra, like his alto sound, was warm, under­ stated, and supplem ented by a professional air. But this show played testament to the convic­ tion that no performance should spotlight one single m usician. The com position of "W idow 's Walk" by UT's David Rentor, Paul White's lamenting melodic ballad and Mace H ibbard's solos, Coletrane-esque indicate licks, that Bop has got as much in-store as it has a resonant past.

C o m ic Creatio n, Ch in e se M o vie Títl e s a n d C la sh Wit h A l G o re T m the Paul Popeil — no, the Michael Dell — of top 10 lists.” — Chris White, crMtor of TbpFhf.com office memo joke that mutated into a life of its own. "Once that company got on the Internet in December of '93, friends of friends started asking to be included — some as contributors and others just wanted to read it. Things started to grow," White said. "First a few dozen people, then as word spread; a few hundred, then a few thousand. I began to do the lists every weekend." But once the topics ventured from sources outside of the office and onto the Web, White had a staff of 50 con­ tributors and over 2,000 subscribers for his popular daily lists. "If we did a list on Melrose Place, someone would post it to the Melrose Place discussion list and we'd pick up a bunch of new subscribers," White said. "Before long, I was receiving too many good submissions to limit the list to five items, so it started expand­ ing." All of this only from a few e-mails. Then — after being mentioned in an article in PC Week Magazine as "a great example of the power of the Internet" — the amount of subscribers tripled overnight, causing another boom in Internet culture and a few meltdown for his company's servers. But even though it was popular, there was no way to make a profit from this sud­ den success. "Since TopFive was not making any money, I couldn't see fit to continue to spend time and pay for a server on which to run it, so I stopped altogeth­ er in July of '94," White said. Then Windows Sources magazine heard about the amazing things White was doing and contacted him to resurrect his creation for their back page humor section. A site was final­ ly created in May of '96 and has been thriving online ever since. With success, of course, came expo­ sure. TopFive.com has been in the spot­ light off-and-on for a long time, even though you may not have seen it on the front page of The New York Times 8m Top, Pago IB By Danny Gallagher Daily Texan Staff He may be using an idea that's a staple of The Late Show and Late Night with David Letterman. He may be cap­ italizing off a pop-culture trademark that's spawned five best selling books and numerous imitators. And Chris White, the creator of the wildly popu­ lar comedy Web site TopFive.com, may be one of them. "HOLD THE PRESSES! Is this the most qualified journalist The Daily Texan could assign to cover this story? What, Earl Campbell wasn't around? Leslie was unavailable? Danny, you ignorant slut," White said when he read the first draft of this story, appar­ ently unhappy with the "imitator" comment and under the influence of something. "Wait, you didn't let me finish," I responded nervously as he picked up his wooden Louisville Slugger, even though no baseball was in sight. TopFive.com is one of the funniest, most popular and most original ideas on the internet today, even if White did steal the basic concept from some­ body else. Just kidding. Please put the bat down. "I'm not an imitator — I'm just a businessman who recognized a need," White said. "Simply put, there's a larger market for top-10 style humor than can't be covered by a sin­ gle 10-item list from Dave every evening. I'm the Paul Popeil — no, the Michael Dell — of top 10 lists." Basically, the top 10 list is presented and reinvented here in a new interac­ tive format. A topic is sent by e-mail to the site's current list of 200 contrib­ utors every Friday (who are chosen after competing in a very competitive audition process that makes the UT College of Communication entrance process look like a Cosmo personality quiz) and they have the weekend to come up with gags to go with the topic. The gags are sent anonymously to White, and he chooses the best 11 plus jokes to go on each day's list. White says the contributors that he chooses are funny, great to work with and don't even nave to pass a drug test. N "We've got at least a half dozen people who could be earning a living as comedy writers," White said. "The rest of them are all very capable, and will on occasion write something hys­ terical. Each of these people is proba-* bly ~ the funniest person in their office." • The whole top "five" list started when he was a computer program­ mer in San Diego. It became an inter- wvvw r e g a l c i n e m a s . c o m C H A R G L T I C K E T S B r P H O N E 512 1 2- R E G A L WESTGATE Daily Bargain Matinees in () Wednesday-Discount Shows All Day excluding ✓ Films ♦ No P a s s e s * N o P a s s e s o r S u p e r S a v e rs A d v a n c e T i c k e t s at B o x O f t i c e - C r e d i t C a r d s A c c e p t e d METROPOLITAN I S o L a m a r & B e n W h it e I C H A R G E T I C K E T S BY P H O N E 5 1 2 - 4 2 - R E G A L e 9 5 3 || 4 16- 57 00x 380 7 II 33 S AT S T A S S N E Y L A N E 4 1 6-5 70 0 x3 8 1 1 £ T | C K ^ s S^ ^ r E l l ^ 4 2 - R E G A L + 950 upen u a p u o n e o d lu tt \n/- iu n c u u in c u \,* WJ ' w ✓ THE FORSAKEN (R)-10 REQUIRED (12:15 2:40 5:00) 7 :» 9:55 d k s JOE DIRT(PG-13) (12:1012302203:154:45525)720M 0W 01020 d i g BLOW(R)- ID REQUIRED (12251:303:454:50)70)7:5010D0 d i g JOSIE & PUSSYCATS (PG-13) (12:00 2:30 4:55) 7:25 9:50 d i g (12:40 3:00 5:15) 7:35 9:45 d i g KINGDOM COME (PG) ENEMY AT THE GATES (R) - ID REQUIRED (12:30 3:304:10)7:15 10:15 d i g CAST AWAY (PG-13) HANNIBAL(R)- ID REQUIRED (1Í 0 4:00) 7:0510:05 d i g (1:10405)7:1010:10 d i g LINCOLN 6 4 0 6 IH 35 N O R I H 4 1 6 - 5 7 0 0 x 3 8 0 C H A R G E T I C K E T S BY P H O N E 51 2 - 4 2 - R E G A L + 94 5 ✓ DRIVEN (PG-13) ✓ TOWN & COUNTRY (R) - ID REQUIRED (12:30 2:50 (12:40 455) 7:3010:10 d ig NOW HIRING ASST.
