Vincent defends the plan, which is intended to increase diversity at a university where there are only two black tenured professors and minority enrollment is low.

Faculty at the University of Oregon voiced their opposition last month to a proposed five-year diver­ Twenty-five faculty members signed an open letter to UO 's President Dave Frohnmayer in May, requesting that he withdraw the plan. The plan recommends that teachers' cultural competency be considered in evaluations for tenure, promotions and pay raises. The letter describes the requirement as "O rw ellian" and cites that it is undefined in the draft's text. Some faculty were alarmed by the draft's strat­ egy to increase faculty diversity — a strategy they said “will have a devastating effect on the quality of research and teaching." The letter also questions how the cash-strapped state university will finance the recommendations, which include an increase in minority scholarships and the creation of high school outreach programs.

The Spurs defeated the Pistons 81-74 to win the championship. Tim Duncan earned his third finals MVP, leading the Spurs to their third title in seven years. Robert Horry finished with 15 points as he earned his sixth NBA title. Larry Brown was m um dbout his. pians after this season, citing heath concerns and an appoint­ ment to the M a yo Clinic in Minnesota. Traffic on 1-35 shut dow n shortly after the gam e as Spurs fans poured out of the SBC Center and m oved to downtown. The Spurs originally planned a parade for Thursday as they neared elimination before Game 6, but the Pistons used the information for bulliten board material and forced a Game 7. Spurs fans gathered at local bars all over Austin as San Antonio sits as the closest NBA team to the city. SEE PAGE 1B FOR M ORE COVERAGE Council mulls if $52 million worth losing toll road options State would reimburse city costs o f building ramps, moving utilities By Adrienne Lee Daily Texan Staff The Austin City Council began discus­ sion Thursday over a controversial toll- road plan that would save the city $51.7 million but could prevent the council from backing off of several toll roads in the future. An agreement over the cost-specific details of the plan had not been reached by press time. The toll-road resolu tion s center around the city's 1986 agreem ent with the state for distribution of costs for future toll roads. if any of the sections of roads were to be developed as non-toll roads, the city would have to reimburse the state the original agreed-upon 10 percent of the right-of-way costs and all costs of relocating city-owned utilities that are not eligible for reimbursement under the Transportation Code. The council also continued public dis­ cussion of African-Am ericans' quality of life in Austin. Community members presented recommendations for improv­ ing the quality of life including making Austin events, such as the Austin City Limits Festival and South by Southwest, broader to incorporate the city's black community. New council members Lee Leffingwell TOLL continues on page 6A One charge dropped for hacker Judge drops lesser charge o f possessing IDs, refuses to drop dam age count By Zachary Warmbrodt Daily Texan Staff A federal judge cleared Christopher Andrew Phillips of a charge Wednesday of possessing 37,000 names and Social Security numbers of UT students, staff and faculty — a charge that carried up to a one-year sentence. Judge Lee Yeakel, however, demed the defense's request to strike down the more serious charge that the University incurred damages when Phillips, 22, crashed cam­ pus Web servers while he was swamping the system with thousands of requests for identity data. During the trial, UT officials said damage assessment for his actions cost the University $122,000. On Aug. 30, Phillips will receive sentenc­ ing for the count, which Ls one of the four counts the government initially charged him with. A jury acquitted Phillips of two charges of intent to defraud June 10. Each carried up to 10-year sentences. The dism issed charge violated the U.S. Constitution's Ex Post Facto Clause, as it was not in effect until April 30, 2003 Christopher Phillips, — more than a month after Phillips' com ­ convicted hacker puter was seized on March 5, according to court documents. Government prosecutors did not con­ test the dismissal. Alan Williams, Phillips' lawyer, said the defense may seek probation for Phillips, who is living in Austin with his girlfriend.

Most days, she started at the Metro and State sec­ tion and worked through the paper, ending with the crossword puzzle. If it was a good day for business, she didn't get that far. I knocked on the passenger window. Hannah looked up with pale blue eyes, smiled widely and unlocked the door. Black sunglasses pushed back a long mop of gray-white hair, cut in bangs and wavy at the temples. Reading spectacles rested at the tip of her nose. "You're officially a trainee today," she said. She'd gone to the cab station that morning to have me approved so she wouldn't have to keep the meter on while I rode. "I want to make one thing clear," she said. "I am not a lobbyist.

If the cab's decor is bad for business, Hannah doesn't mind. She has gone up against tougher crowds than Austin cab customers. As president of the Texas chapter of the National for W omen, O rganization Hannah spends much of her time at the Capitol, fighting bills that would restrict reproductive and homosexual rights. She also takes "side trips" into legislation that affects cab­ bies. In last spring's regular session, Hannah testified on more than 30 bills. She's orga­ nized rallies, led a mid-1990s campaign to inform the public about the health risks of silicone implants and has been arrested for "defending" abortion clinics against activists trying to shut them down. But politics is "just a hobby," she said. It's a w onder she has time. She woke at 3:50 a.m. to drive a custom er to the airport. In the quiet m orning air, she drove back to her small West Austin house with red trim and Christm as lights along the door frame. One more hour of sleep. Then she was up again, driving her regular custom ers — m ostly "visually impaired folks" — to work. A quick stop to fill up the triangular coffee mug at her feet; a chat with her friend at the cab station; a trip with one of her elderly custom ers to the grocery store; then off to the 7-Eleven to pick me up. In a few hours, she would take her regulars home from work. I tried to apologize for the stops on my behalf, but Hannah waved it off. "I'm a cab driver," she said. "N othing's out of my way." And Hannah loves to drive. "I can drive a 12-hour shift, and then be good to go to Houston," she said. Her boy­ friend, Robert, is a frizzy-bearded biker who buys her leather riding gear and takes her to bike rallies. This summer, Robert's Harley broke down at the Republic O f Texas Biker Rally in Austin. On the power run, he and Hannah drove the cab instead. Many of her regulars are ex­ activists themselves. She occa­ sionally transports and talks state politics with an editor for Texas Monthly. Other pas­ sengers have asked if Hannah thought the Legislature would call a special session this sum­ mer. Her Texas Monthly friend didn't think so, but "there'd be 180 reasons for Perry to call a special session," Hannah said, chuckling. She looked at me, realizing I don't get it. "There are 140 rep­ resentatives and 40 senators in the state Legislature," she said. Three days later, Gov. Rick Perry called a special session. Then there are the more con­ servative customers. She once got into a "scream ing argu­ ment" with one woman about universal health care. "She would deny me a free mam m ogram ," Hannah said, still a bit miffed. But the customer continues to caLl her for rides, and the two women have managed to tread even more precarious topics. Such as abortion. "She and her husband became foster parents and adopted three little ones," Hannah said. "That's putting anti-abortion sentiment to a real positive use." Nazis After Hannah graduated in 1973 from the University of M ichigan with degrees in Latin and French, she went the way of m any liberal arts m ajors and waited tables. A man who drove cabs for a living came in every day for lunch, and he m ade cab driving seem more appealing. Except for a b rief period when she stayed at home to raise two children, Hannah has been driving cabs ever since. But it was during her stay-at- home-mom period that Hannah became politically involved. For the first few years of mother­ hood, Hannah threw herself into her kids' activities: gym­ nastics, PTA, little league. Then, in 1989, the Supreme Court handed down the Webster deci­ sion, allowing states to pass restrictions on abortion rights. Hannah, w ho's always believed in abortion rights, and her 10- year-old daughter, watched CNN broadcast the decision. Her daughter was the first to get mad. "Kate put her hands on her hips and said, 'That's not fair. They can't make me have a baby, if I don't want to,'" Hannah said, with a throaty laugh. "That's when I decided to stop yelling at the TV and do something about it." "D o something" is what she tells fellow cab drivers, many of whom — along with her kids and her sisters — she has per­ suaded to join NOW: If you're going to complain, you'd better do something. Her mother grew up during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. While the family was living off tulip bulbs and wild bird eggs, her mother would ride a bicycle to scout the locations of Nazi U2 rocket bases. She passed the informa­ tion to her brother, who sent it to London by carrier pigeon. "I always say I'm still fighting Nazis," Hannah said. When she was arrested for trespassing outside an abor­ the 1992 tion clinic during Republican NationalConvention in Houston (the charges were later dropped), she looked at the fire extinguishers on the ceiling of the jail cell and thought they must be filled with gas. "It's not paranoia," she said. "T here's always part of me that's fine with things, and then there's part of me that's look­ ing around, scoping things out, aware as they were aware. It's the part of me with that back­ ground drilled into m e." If her parents were proud of their daughter for carrying on the family tradition, they weren't pleased with her choice to of profession. They said park the cab behind the house when she visited. Hannah was annoyed; if her parents were to hire a cabbie, she'd be exactly the kind they'd like: educated, articulate and politically aware. They just didn't want their daughter doing it. Savings She drove home for a show­ er. In her living room, sheets of paper, cigarette packs and a State Farm road atlas spilled from the coffee table onto the red, white and blue flowered rug. A brightly colored cowgirl poster advertising "beautiful, daring Western girls" clashed with a black-and-white photo­ graph of a teenaged Hannah with her three sisters, bent over a wooden table and rolling out dough for Dutch windmill cookies. "Ahh, does that feel good!" Hannah said, sauntering into the room with her gray-white hair tucked into a new black T- shirt. The blue jean shorts were the same, but Hannah had sub­ stituted her tan pair of water sandals for matching black ones. In her backyard, Hannah rolled out the hose as far as it could go. Robert once told her she could spray down the web worms nesting in a backyard tree, an environmentally sound solution. She took aim at what resembled white cotton balls attached to ends of branches. Through the sem i-transparent layers of webbing, the fa t grub­ by worms squirmed inside their group cocoons. The hose em it­ ted a weak spurt of water, and a single worm fell reluctantl y. "M y dad would probably have climbed up on a ladder and cut all the branches dow n and burned them. But I don't have health insurance," she said. This .th o u g h t p ersists in the back of H annah's m ind. She consoles herself with the know ledge that 40 percent': of Texans are uninsured; s h e 's just one of many. Besides, sh e 's the healthiest 50-year-old she knows. H annah sm okes C am el cigarettes every chance sh e can get but w on't touch sod as, w hich keeps her healthy. B u t her back w ent out a year ag o , and, becau se of higher g a s prices, she still ow es her c h i­ ropractor. "I just feel terrible," she said. "The oil companies are getting the money instead of my chiro­ practor." She doesn't have a savings account. As a woman, she is among the m inority of cab drivers. As a cab driver, she is among the minority of activ­ ists; NOW members tend to be middle-class lawyers. "I keep trying to raise people's consciousness about class and poverty issues, partly because I've been there," she said. That's why some legislators listen. "They seem to appreciate that I'm really out there," she said. "They know I'm the real deal." spoke W hen she stood before the House Elections C om m ittee in A pril, she w ore heels aind a blue pantsuit, and there w as no trace of her daily sh orts- and-tank top attire.

Electronic v o tin g allow ed her blind frien d s to vote in privacy, H annah told the m em bers — so m eth in g they'd never been able to do. One of these friends w alked out of the ballot booth crying. Riddering pounded softly on the lectern. "I hugged her," she said, "a n d we walked out to the cab."

It also is a top cam paign issue for Iranians themselves, w ho view the nuclear program as a source of both national pride and worrying tension with the United States and Europe. Ultraconservative candidate M a h m o u d Ahmadinejad, the 49-year-old mayor of Tehran, has indicated he will push for a tougher position at the talks if he becom es president. But key nuclear officials have said they'd like to see the country's top job g o to Ayatollah Hashem i Rafsanjani, 70, a former president with an experienced hand. The United States accuses Iran of using a peaceful nuclear pro­ gram as a cover to develop an atomic bomb. Iran maintains its program is peaceful and aimed only at generating electricity. Taliban commanders and rebels surrounded in assault KABUL, Afghanistan — Radio intercepts indicate two top Taliban com m anders are with dozens of rebels battling in the southern m ountains against a blistering barrage from Afghan and U.S. forces, senior govern­ ment officials said Thursday. The death toll from three days of fighting was reported at 114 — including 102 insurgents. Afghan officials said they had dealt the insurgency a body blow, but such claims have been m ade m any times before in a war that refuses to wind down. M any Afghans fear an upsurge in fighting since spring could be a sign that the insurgency is strengthening, and Afghan and U.S. officials have warned that violence could get even w orse before parliamentary elections in September. Judge sentences Killen to m axim um 60 years PHILADELPHIA, Miss. — Saying "each life has value," a judge on Thursday sentenced former Ku Klux Klan leader Edgar Ray Killen to the m axim um 60 years in prison for masterminding the 1964 slayings of three civil rights workers. The frail, 80-year-old Killen, sit­ ting in a wheelchair and dressed in a yellow jail jumpsuit, sat impassively and stared straight ahead as Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon sentenced him to 20-year terms on each of three counts of manslaughter. G ordon said the terms will run consecutively. The sentence brings to a close one of the most horrifying ch ap ­ ters in the m ovem ent for racial equality in the United States. Killen was convicted Tuesday, 41 years to the day after the three m en were killed. Senate nears completion of fossil fuel-focused bill W ASH ING TON — The Senate began w rapping up consider­ ation of an energy bill Thursday that focuses on cleaner fossil fuels, reneweable energy and conservation but avoids som e of the m ost divisive issues, includ­ ing PresidentGeorge W. Bush's call for oil drilling in an Alaska wildlife refuge. In the short term, it would do nothing to force dow n high gasoline and other energy prices or significantly reduce America's grow ing reliance on foreign oil. Senate leaders said they anticipated the bill could com e to a vote before the day was out. Senators signaled their desire to move swiftly on the legisla­ tion, voting 92-4 to limit further debate to only a handful of amendments. The legislation w ould provide $18 billion in energy tax incen­ tives, m uch of them aimed at getting people to use less energy or prom oting renewable sources such as w ind and solar power. It also calls for doubling the use of corn-based ethanol, a boon to farmers, and provides a system of loan guarantees to help introduce new clean coal technology and the next generation of nuclear power reactors. The Senate measure differs m arkedly from legislation passed by the House in April.

D a i l y T e x a n Iraq Museum director Stolen art funds terrorism By Sophie Nicholson T h e Associated Press PARIS — Wealthy art patrons are buying stolen artifacts from Iraq and inadvertently funding terrorist activity, the director of Iraq's national M useum said Thursday. Some of the objects are entering the U.S., he said. Iraqi m useum s were pil­ laged of treasures dating back 5,000 years during looting that occurred amid the chaos of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that top­ pled Saddam Hussein. "Rich people are buying sto­ len m aterial," museum director Donny G eorge told reporters. "M oney is going to Iraq, and they [terror groups] are buying weapons and ammunition to use against Iraqi police and American forces," he said. Police in the United States are doing an "excellent" job of curb­ ing the flow of stolen artifacts there, but "a lot of material is just penetrating the country," George said. "A lot of these objects are actually going to the United States." "P eople in the international com m unity must stop buying ... This money is these things going to the terrorists," he said at a UNESCO conference on Iraq's cultural heritage. Iraqi Culture Minister Nouri Farhan al-Rawi, also speaking at the news conference, noted: "There w as a great deal of loot­ ing when coalition forces arrived. Today, coalition forces are help­ ing us a lot, and there are no more cases of looting or theft." O f the 15,000 objects sto­ len from the national museum, almost 4,000 have been returned to the country and more than 4,000 others are in neighboring countries for safekeeping, George said. It is impossible to assess the scale of theft or damage at archae­ ological sites outside Baghdad, said a committee of experts gath­ ered at UNESCO, the Paris-based U.N. cultural agency. Farhan al-R aw i urged UNESCO to help the Iraqi gov­ ernment transform 170 buildings — including Saddam 's former palaces and other government buildings — into cultural cen­ ters, public libraries and tour­ ist centers. Some are located in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses the Iraqi government and U.S. Embassy. "Today, the Ministry of Culture is not in a position to recuperate and run the palaces," said Farhan al-Rawi, noting that guards out­ side the national museum were sometimes shot at. The committee praised efforts by several countries holding Iraqi treasures for safekeeping, includ­ ing Jordan, Kuwait, Syria, Italy, Saudi Arabia and the United States. But it said more coop­ eration was needed from Turkey and Iran, which were represented at the meeting. The cultural heritage commit­ tee, formed in September 2003, aims to distribute international aid to help protect Iraq's cultural treasures. It has received $3.5 million from direct contributions and $5.5 million from the United Nations, said U N ESCO 's deputy direc­ tor-general for culture, Mounir Bouchenaki. UNESCO's World Monuments Fund this week placed the entire country of Iraq on the list of the w orld's most endangered cul­ tural sites. It was the first time an entire country has been listed. Koreas make no progress on resuming six-nation talks By Burt Herman The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea failed Thursday to per­ suade North Korea to return to international talks on dismantling its nuclear arms program, and Pyongyang dealt another blow to the disarmament effort by lashing out at President George W. Bush for meeting a prominent defector. Despite the nuclear impasse, the two Koreas agreed during two days of high-level talks to restart reunions of families separated by their border and scheduled meet­ ings in coming months to foster economic and military coopera­ tion. Hopes for movement on the nuclear stalemate were raised last week when North Korean leader Kim Jong U met with a visiting South Korean minister and said his communist-ruled country could return to arms negotiations as soon as next month. But Kim also said that depended on North Korea getting appropriate respect from the United States. His regime, which claimed in February to have some nuclear weapons, has long insisted the issue can be resolved only in direct talks with Washington, an idea spumed by U.S. leaders. that The South argued the nuclear question is something to be addressed between the two Koreas, but the North Koreans didn't give a "definite answer" to pleas that it come back to the six- nation nuclear talks in July, said the spokesman for the South's del­ egation, Kim Chun-shick. In a joint statement after the talks, the two Koreas didn't go beyond previous pledges. "The South and the North have agreed to take real measures for peaceful resolution of the nucle­ ar issue through dialogue, as the atmosphere is created, with the ultimate goal of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," said South Korea's unification minister, Chung Dong-young, reading from the statement. Despite the talk of reconcilia­ the North's propaganda tion, machine directed another tirade at the United States, lashing out at Bush for hosting a prominent North Korean defector at the White House. Bush met last week with Kang Choi Hwan, a defector now work­ ing as a journalist in South Korea and author of "The Aquariums of Pyongyang," a memoir detail­ ing a decade of abuses at a North Korean prison camp where he was sent to as a child with his family. Referring to Kang as "human trash," the North's official Korean Central News Agency said "the human rights piffle again let loose by the U.S. high echelon suggests that Washington is not firm in its stand to recognize [North Korea] as its dialogue partner and respect it." "This, therefore, cannot be con­ strued otherwise than an act of throwing a wet blanket on the efforts to resume" the nuclear talks, KCNA wrote in a commentary. Those negotiations — involving China, Japan, Russia, the United States and the two Koreas — last convened on June 23, 2004. Three rounds failed to yield notable prog­ ress, but Washington insists the matter be resolved in that forum. "I believe the day will soon come when we make progress on the six-party talks and resolve the nuclear issue peacefully," South Korean Prime Minister Lee Hae- chan said at a dinner Thursday with both sides' delegations. Privacy groups protest Pentagon By John J. Lumpkin The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Privacy advocates are objecting to the Pentagon's use of a database with files on millions of young people that the military says it needs for recruiting to help fill its ranks. The data could be abused by the government or the private com­ pany that keeps it, the advocates contend. And they say there's no need for the information to include Social Security numbers, which could be used to steal someone's identity. The military says the informa­ tion will help steer it to potential recruits. The dispute is arising at a time when the regular Army — and the reserves of all four military branches — are having difficulty attracting young people to their ranks. "The program is very important because it helps the recrhiters be more effective to target qualified candidates for specific missions," Air Force Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke, a Defense Department spokeswom­ an, said Thursday. ThePentagon'sJointAdvertising, Market Research and Studies Group has overseen the data since 2003, when it took over several recruiting databases managed sep­ arately by the military services. The military has hired a company called BeNow, of Wakefield, Mass., to manage the information, which the military says it collects itself. Privacy advocates learned of the database only recently after the military, as required by law, put a notice in the Federal Register, a federal government publica­ tion, that it keeps the information. Krenke blamed the delay in public notification cm a lengthy internal review process. The privacy group's concerns were reported in The Washington Post on Thursday. the Federal to According Register notice, the data includes high school students aged 16 to 18, college students, and people who hace registered with the Selective Service, which would manage a military draft if it were reinstituted. All American males aged 18 to 25 are required to register with Selective Service and provide their Social Security number. The information kept on each includes name, gender, person address, birthday and, if available, the Social Security number, e-mail address, ethnicity, telephone num­ ber, high school, college, gradu­ ation dates, grade-point average, education level and military test scores, the notice in the register said. from several The military obtains this infor­ sources: mation Individuals who volunteer it, state motor vehicle departments, commercial information brokers and the Selective Service system. The records are supposed to be destroyed five years after they are gathered, the military says. The military uses the Social Security numbers as unique iden­ tification numbers, Krenke said. The arrangement has many prob­ lems, said Chris Jay Hoofnagle, a director with the Electronic Privacy Information Center. Hoofnagle was one of nine privacy advocates who filed a protest in the Federal Register notice. For one, the military provides no guarantees it will not turn over the information to law enforcement, counterintelligence and other gov­ ernment agencies, Hoofnagle said in an interview. Krenke said the Pentagon does not do this, but the Federal Register notice says the military retains the right to do so. "W ithout your consent the Defense Department can take data out of the system and share it with other agencies," Hoofnagle said. In addition, he said, keeping the Social Security number is unneces­ sary because the Pentagon could follow the practice of some pri­ vate companies and create its own number system to distinguish indi­ viduals. That the military buys some of its information from commercial vendors may violate the federal Privacy Act, Hoofnagle said. The government is required to contact an individual first to gather infor­ mation before trying to obtain it from other outlets, he said. The Pentagon did not immedi­ ately respond to questions about the database's compliance with the act. Hoofnagle also raised concerns about BeNow's ability to safeguard the data, saying it would be safer if directly held by the government. A receptionist at BeNow referred all questions to the Pentagon. The Pentagon office does not manage data the military services collect under the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act. A provision of this act requires school districts to provide mili­ tary recruiters with student phone numbers and addresses or risk los­ ing millions in federal education aid. Parents or students 18 and over can "opt out" by submitting a written request to keep the infor­ mation private. But critics say schools do not always convey that message. Some critics oppose the federal law on privacy grounds; others say it pro­ vides an unfair opportunity for the military to sway young mmds — especially in economically depressed communities.

BE PRETTY for m ore info & an|application, sh a ke yg>ur internet stick at w w w te )p str o Vi©sty.com W HAT ARE YOU L A U G H IN G AT? 4A Friday, June 24, 2005 VIEWPOINT Behind the flag waving For the sixth time in 10 years, the U.S. House of Representatives voted W ednesday to outlaw burning the American flag. The roughly biennial threat to our freedom of expression proves a constant reminder of just how superficial and weak our dem ocracy is. This year's congressional spat over the issue was no different. Tainting any rational argument, Rep. Duke Cunningham , R- Calif., the anti-flag burning am endm ent's sponsor, decided to pluck at tender Sept. 11 heart strings: "A sk the men and women who stood on top of the Trade Center," Cunningham said. "A sk them and they will tell you: 'Pass this am endm ent."' But irrationality isn't confined to Cunningham or any of the 285 other representatives who voted for the measure. The anti­ flag burning organization Citizens Flag Alliance claim s that 81 percent of Am ericans believe that flag desecration should be against the law. Retired Maj. Gen. Patrick H. Brady, who heads up the Citizens Flag Alliance, sum marized the group's view on the matter. "Legalized flag desecration also desecrates our values as a nation," Brady said in the written statem ent on the group's Web site. "It teaches that our laws need not reflect our values, and it teaches disrespect for the values em bedded in our Constitution as embodied by our flag." Brady is right to a certain extent. The flag does sym bolize American constitutional values — one of which is our right to express political opinions freely. But if someone wants to express disillusion with some of those values or the governm ent that enforces them, they should have that right — even if it means burning the flag. Too often we forget that what makes a symbol a symbol is that it stands for something. W hen this happens, what can start out as a just cause can turn to blatant idolatry. This is the case with the m ovem ent to outlaw flag burning. Its proponents have become so caught up in defending the flag, they overlook the fact that they are tarnish­ ing one of the values that make the symbol worth defending in the first place. When a symbol loses the values behind it, it ceases to be a symbol at all. Rather than expressing blind devotion to the flag at the cost of the very ideals it represents, we should be working to ensure those ideals are upheld to their highest standards. Because w ithout the values to back it up, the flag is nothing but red, white and blue cloth. GALLERY COLUMNISTS OF THE CAMPUS UNITE!

Pablo Berger | First Run Features her husband's passivity. With some development, the film could have taken this subject matter to an interesting, if not entirely original, place. However, the elements are simply thrown together and presented in the shallowest way possible. Ultimately, "Torremolinos 73" plays like a feature that might have made a mildly amusing comedy sketch. Similarities to other games make'Stella'too familiar Five years after their initial encounter, Spero confronts Echidna in this scene from "Stella Deus." in the genre, rivaling those in other Atlus games such as "Disgaea: Hour of Darkness" or "Phantom Brave." n u m b e r of c h a r a c t e r frames am m a- The tion is staggering. It's not uncom­ mon to see very subtle move­ ments that could easily have been discarded to speed up the production process. Yet as flashy as the contents of this insubstan- are is, g a m e the package ^General Viper Photos courtesy of Atlus Gam es tial. Hardcore turn-based strategy fans might do well to pick up a copy of Stella Deus. Then again, if they've played Final Fantasy Tactics, there's no point. Croire By Brian Clark Daily Texan Staff Many great directors use the medium of film to meditate on the creative process and the toll it often takes. John Cassavettes hid it in the subtext of a classic noir plot in "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie." Other films, like Felini's "8 1 /2 " and Trufaut's "D ay for Night," address the subject directly with wit and insight. industry With his film about the pornog­ raphy "Torremolinos 73," Director Pablo Berger takes on the same theme. However, his film falls short of these classics and plays more like a low-key version of "Boogie Nights" that can't sustain its 90-minute mn- ning time. Javier Camara ("Talk to Her") plays Alfredo, a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman struggling in the early '70s to make ends meet. When his wife, Carmen, wants to make love, he rolls over and comments, "We don't even have enough for condoms." This particular problem doesn't concern Carmen; she desperate­ ly wants a child. Unfortunately though, Alfredo's financial prob­ lems keep this dream out of reach. One day, Alfredo is invited to a work conference where his boss tells him about a new publication, "The Audiovisual Encyclopedia of Reproduction."- Anyone who agrees to help produce it, the boss says, will be rewarded hand­ somely. At this point, an astute employee asks, "Are you asking us to film ourselves making love with our wives?" The moderator pauses a second, then answers, "Scientifically speaking, yes." Predictably, Alfredo and Carmen turn to producing films for the series in order to solve their financial woes. It's a fun, if somewhat contrived, setup, and the film holds a few nice moments during the first third of the film, especially one bit where Carmen "trains" for the videos with a medieval suit of armor standing in for her husband. Carmen and Alfredo's films become a hit. Part of the suc­ cess is due to Carm en's relentless enthusiasm, since now she finally has her opportunity to become pregnant. Also, Alfredo begins to obsess over the filmmaking process, eventually trying to find ways to fuse the dark, humanistic cinema of Ingmar Bergman with pornography. It's an amusing turn, at least for film buffs. However, the char­ acters in the film remain flat and underdeveloped, and the plot movements come very slowly. Jokes are few and far between as well. In fact, the entire sec­ ond half of the film rests almost solely on the humor of fusing Bergman with pornography. It's a nice joke, but not one that should be stretched for 45 minutes. 'Torremolinos 73' plays more like a low -key'Boogie Nights'than it does Fellini's'81/2.' Behind the humor, we witness the erosion of Alfredo's marriage, brought about by his obsession with filmmaking. Like the rest of the film, this plotline amounts to very little. Alfredo watches films and neglects his wife, but she seems more concerned with their trouble reproducing than to save their world and once again instill courage in the hearts and minds of its people — if they can stay awake. Stella Deus offers a tremendous story, played out with decent voice-overs. Yet, even a gripping storyline may not be enough to alleviate the sleepy boredom created by its classic turn-based game play. Players familiar with "Final Fantasy Tactics" for PSOne will notice immediately that despite a few graphical and storyline changes, Stella Deus plays exactly the same as the Square-Enix clas­ sic. Each character type has his or her town moves that can be learned by acquiring enough skill points (SP). Earning enough SP to learn new moves and improve characters requires engaging in countless battles against enemies that often look identical to player- controlled party members. In Final Fantasy Tactics, leveling up could be done in completed stages, breaking up. the monotony of endless battles with different locations. Stella Deus forgoes that idea, choosing instead to pro­ vide an extensive training arena called The Catacombs. Each level of The Catacombs looks identical to the last with more challenging enemies depending on how far down into The Catacombs the party travels. On average, playing through a battle takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on whether or not a boss is involved. In other words, putting in the time to beat Stella Deus and master its hid­ den quests could mean forsaking more than just time with other games. Kiss those significant oth­ ers goodbye. For gamers dedicated enough to tackle Stella Deus, the music tracks they'll hear ad nauseam as the game progresses will not hin­ der the experience. The music and sound effects are solid. They're also straight out of Final Fantasy Tactics. Unfortunately, Stella Deus' visuals are the most interesting aspect of the game. In cinematic scenes, Stella Deus relies on beau­ tiful cell-shaded graphics with a unique sketchiness that makes them euphoric and sad sim ultane­ ously. The in-game sprites are some of the best By J. S. M c N a m a r a Daily Texan Staff In his weekly C N N / Money column "G am e O ver," Chris Morris conducted an interview with Nintendo innovator Shigeru Miyamoto in a June 3 article called "Nintendo: Innovation is dying." Miyamoto (Mario, Zelda, Nintendogs) encouraged game developers to create unique prod­ ucts rather than continuing to crank out tired re-hashings of the same four or five game genres. Stella Deus, a turn-based strate­ gy game released by Atlus Games for PS2 is proof that Miyamoto's prayers have yet to be answered. Though Stella Deus features some of the best turn-based strategy graphics around, its game play is simply nothing new. Solum is a world enveloped by fear in the form of a dark miasma that threatens to choke out all life and civilization. In response to the miasma, members of the Aeque religion preach a doc­ trine of peaceful death for all of mankind. Taking advantage of a populous that welcomes death, a man named Dignus creates a powerful military force known as the Legion.
