Faulkner presented his Jesses uditorium in Homer P. Rainey Hall before about 150 udents, faculty, staff and alumni as part of the niversity's 117th birthday celebration. One of the main goals mentioned in Faulkner's jeech was recruiting 300 new professors within the ext 10 years — 30 of which will be hired this year. "I believe that expanding five faculty is critical to ur success," Faulkner said. "As we proceed, howev­ speech at l _l er we m ust make a conscious effort to build a faculty reflecting the diverse population of our students. effort tr» hnild a facull Faulkner said hiring more faculty will also "strengthen our ability to perform other missions, including research and to gain much needed capaci­ ty to experiment in a world with new tools and new opportunities."

In a memo sent out earlier this m onth Ed Sharpe, executive vice chancellor for academic affairs, asked the nine UT System institutions' presidents to review a draft of a formal accountability system that calls for implementing standardized tests, as w'dl as measuring areas, including recruitment, retention and how research facilities are utilized. The tests, which would begin by foe 2002-2003 school year, would measure general education compe­ tency in core curriculum classes, such as math, English . ... _ and social sciences. The draft is in response to a request by C harles Miller, chair of the UT System Board of Regents Academic Affairs Committee. Miller, who helped the Texas public education system develop an accountability system 10 years ago with the implementation of the standardized Texas Assessment of Academic Skills test, believes high­ er education should have a similar system. "In public education, we have a w'ay to measure accountability, and Texas has been successful," he said. "There's no reason why we can't do that in higher ^ lo ­ cation We can be leaders — we don't have to wait for someone to do it first." Patrick Davis, professor of pharmacy and chairman of the faculty council, said that while the faculty is not opposed to issues of accountability, some professors may feel compelled to change their teaching techniques, concentrating on the test rather than holding class dis­ cussions or debates. "One of the concerns 1 would have is that the test would compromise a professor s creativity' to dev elop implement and evaluate their classes, ho said m concerned it would lead to teaching to the test Elizabeth Flvnn, a UT a n th r o p o lo g y s e n io r said she is w'orried foe test would be too much like the TAA! test, which she said Ls too broad, adding that the tests should be geared toward a person s major. %— TESTING, P«g» 2 Page 2 T h e D a il y T e x a n Wednesday, September 20, 2000 the Edge U 2 update For one last time, The Edge will be used to honor that other great Edge and his band, U2.

W M MITCHELL, N tO X IH SÍBA5T1AN, W O K E N A N D M A N Y MORE Speedway plan may include bike path SPEEDWAY, from 1 University Police officers have been stationed along the mall to issue warnings to bicyclists who ride their bikes through the dismount zone, but UTPD officials said they will begin actually ticketing violators starting next week. W hen the project enters its design stage, Gleeson said a bike path may be installed, but the University m ust first conduct m ore studies to determ ine how heavily bikes utilize the pas­ sage. But H eather Ball, a library and inform ation science graduate student, said she thinks the lack of bike access in the area is troubling. "This is the first major step tow ards institut­ ing the M aster Plan, and there are no bike routes," she said. "It's not w hat I'd like to see as the kind of message going out to cyclists on cam pus." Ball said Speedw ay is the most accessible cor­ ridor for cyclists traveling north or south on campus. "If you go out on G uadalupe, there's so much autom obile traffic out there," she said. "On San Jacinto, there's no shoulder — there are cars parked on either side and you constantly have to watch out for cars backing out on either sid e ." While Ball said the idea of a bike path is bet­ ter than nothing, the best option would be to use a textured pavement or grating on the mall which would encourage cyclists to slow down. Ball said she is working to create a campus bicycling issues committee to give bicyclists an active voice in the traffic decision-making process. But Student Government vice president Matt Hammond said the campus should keep its focus on servicing pedestrians. "The campus cannot be designed for bicy­ clists ... you have to cater to the majority of stu­ dents who are walking," Hammond said. Ball said the Master Plan should be able to incorporate students on both bikes and on foot. "It's not a matter of who's higher on the food chain. It's a matter of creating a working rela­ tionship between bikes and pedestrians, Ball said. jail (torn 21*10 a S S S S l SiPSn •S p ead M ey fe^ ^ ^ ^ H iVMOhortod a •An m of rou^tb 100 ywds In the vicinity of Eást MaR Is cloeed to «N norvemergency vehicles and ricWen bicycles In order to make the area pedesr trian-friencty •This central area could houee food stands, student $oup areas and performance areas. •Current stucfies are being done to determine whether campus buildings would h a * adequate access to roads under the project. •The current barriers could remain on Sp e e d y until construction of the actual maH begins. Source: Austin Gieeson, chairman of the Master Pian Steering Committee an d the Master Pfan Liza M o re n o / D a ily Texan Staff SG president argues against tuition plan _ . SG, from 1 the UT System Board of Regents. Currently, the Texas Legislature sets tuition at a fixed per hour rate. SG president Daron Roberts lobbied against tuition deregulation before the Legislature Tuesday. "The plan does give the regents a lot of control," Roberts said. "There should be some sort of check in place before the plan moves forward." UT President Larry Faulkner, one of the primary supporters of the plan, said he would make additional changes to . ... tuition rates in conjunction with flexible tuition. Faulkner proposed changing the rates so that students will pay the same rate of tuition if they take 13 or more hours. Students who take more than 13 hours would also see a rate reduction. Students who take 12 hours or less would pay more under Faulkner's pro­ posal. The proposal is intended to encour­ age students to graduate in four years or less. Matt Hammond, SG vice president, said the proposed tuition change could violrl nnsitivp results. yield positive results. "I trunk the plan could help students finish school faster because the tuition rates would encourage them to take more than 12 hours," he said, citing a statistic showing students at the University averaging 12.7 credit hours per semester. Paul Dabney, a music studies fresh­ man who attended the meeting, said flexible tuition would help many stu­ dents get through college. "The plan would relieve the financial burden on many students who couldn t afford to pay for 15 hours before," Dabney said. "This would get them out Dabney said. 'This would get them or of school sooner than before." Flexible tuition would solve a range of problems, including helping to decrease enrollment, which would lead to a better student-faculty ratio, Dabney said. Another issue discussed Tuesday evening was a proposed change to the UT provisional student program that would enroll some students in summer school at the University while others would be directed to UT-Arlington for their first year. Faulkner address: Students must graduate faster ADDRESS, from 1 same period. Just a day after the University announced that fall enrollment num ­ bers had swelled to more than 50,000, Faulkner spoke about encouraging undergraduate students to take larg­ er class loads that would enable them to graduate earlier. "UT's four-year graduation rate is only half to two-thirds of the rate at other leading American flagship campuses, which tells us that not all universities share this problem," Faulkner said. The initiative Faulkner proposed Tuesday would encourage students to take 15 credit hours each semester, as opposed to the current average of 12.7. One of the ways to make it possi­ ble for students to take more classes is deregulating tuition, Faulkner said. Tuition is currently controlled by the Texas Legislature exclusively, and cannot be changed w ithout a legislative vote. Faulkner and other UT System adm inistrators have said they will lobby the Legislature this spring for control over raising tuition. Adrienne Redinger, an undeclared freshman, said she liked Faulkner s idea of flexible tuition, which would in part enable students to take more than 12 hours for a fixed price. "That will allow us to take more hours and only have to pay for twelve hours, and I think a lot of stu­ dents w ould benefit from that, Redinger said, adding that the speech made her feel proud and optimistic about attending the University.

I I I implemented a test similar to the one suggested in the memo three years ago, where sophomores at the six universi­ ties are required to take a test before enrolling in upper division classes, said Donald Dahlin, vice president of aca­ demic affairs at the University of South Dakota. The students get two chances to take the test, and if they fail both times, they are not allowed to register at South Dakota public universities, Dahlin said, adding that the test has allowed the state to determine the value of educa­ tion it's giving to the students,, "From the university7s standpoint, it allows us to demonstrate to the public, Legislature and government that we are indeed doing a good job," he said. "It does ensure students that they are getting the basic level of competency that they need before they move on.

The 83-15 vote, sending the bill to President Clinton for his signature, represents the biggest step in U S.-China relations since President Nixon's 1972 visit to the Great Wall, and ends the divisive annual debates over U S . trade pol­ icy toward the Communist country. In the end, those arguing that the United States must do more to bring China's com mu­ nist government into the international com mu­ that nity prevailed over critics warning Congress was putting profits ahead of principle. "W e will find, I believe America has far more influence in China with an outstretched hand than with a clenched fist," Clinton said after the Senate vote. "The more China opens its mar­ kets to our products, the wider it op>ens its doors to economic freedom and foe more fully it will liberate the potential of its people." The House passed PNTR, or the permanent normal trade relations bill, last May. lire legis­ lation, backed by a pxiwerful coalition of busi­ ness and farm groups, was praised by U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky, who said it was "as important as any on China since 1972, with foe opening of China'' by President Nixon. She said it marked a historic milepost" in foe rocky relations that have exist­ ed since Mao Tse-tung brought foe commu­ nists to pxnver in 1949. "This historic legislation will be remem­ bered as the key that opened the door tor America to sell its products and services to the world's largest emerging marketplace," said Robert Burt, chairm an of The Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs. The bill revises a 1974 law under which trade relations with communist states are sub­ ject to annual review. Since foe 1 989 crackdown on foe Tiananmen democracy movement, con­ gressional critics of China have made concert­ ed, if unsuccessful, efforts every year to resand normal trade status because of Beijing's human rights and weapons proliferation abuses. The bill to make trade relations permanent is an outgrowth of a U.S.-C hina agreement last fall under which China, as a condition for entering the World Trade Organization, made major concessions in reducing tariffs and opon- ing its markets. China is expected to p in foe W TO later this year or early next year, and foe United States, in order to enjoy the benefits of China's commitment to W TO free market rules, must grant permanent trade status. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., stressed that it will still be up to Americans to take advantage1 of new market opportunities. "Passage of PNTR will be one for the history books, of pro­ found implication to foe United States, but (Mice it passes, then we Americans have to put our shoulders to the w heel we have to follow up." With WTO entry, China's tariffs on U.S. made manufactured goods would fall from an overall average of 25 percent to 9 percent bv 2005. Duties on America's primary food prod­ ucts would drop from 31 piercent to 14 percent China would be required to open its financial and service industries to American companies, allow greater outside ownership in its telecom­ munications industry and allow Americans full distribution rights within foe country'. C A M P A I G N 2 0 0 0 Bush, Gore compete for tech votes By The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — A1 Gore and George W. Bush cast themselves as high-tech champions Tuesday, as they competed for cash and endorse­ ments from Silicon Valley chiefs. The vice president was raising $3 million from about 3 a) valley executives, and he assembled a list of 100 industry supporters. Bush, who has raised twice as much high-tech money as his Democratic rival for foe presidential race, claimed foe backing of 4 a i "N ew Economy" leaders in a San Jose news­ paper ad. In a duel of position papers, each campaign also offered details on what its respective candidate would do to promote an industry that has become a driving force of foe nation's economy. And each sought to demonstrate its support with testimoni­ als. Wade Randlett, foe head of Web business-appli- cation developer Red Gorilla, said the Clinton administration's economic record was enough to keep' him in foe Democratic fold. The romancing of Silicon Valley reflects foe explosive growth of foe high-tech industry — and its political and financial clout. "N ew Economy" businesses have more than doubled their political contributions just in the past two years, according to foe Independent Centei for Responsive Politics. The companies have made $22.1 million in donations since foe start of last year, with Democrats getting just over half of that. But in the presidential race, Bush has collected nearly $1 mil­ lion, more than double Gore's take. The battle for foe valley was fought Tuesday through policy doaim ents focusing on foe indus­ try's most pressing concerns. • Privacy: Bush pledged to appxiint a federal chief information officer who would develop and enforce policies to safeguard personal information on foe Internet. Gore called for an "Electronic Bill of Rights for Privacy," guaranteeing consumers foe right to know' how and why their personal infor­ mation is being collected. • Foreign workers visas: To alleviate workt r shortages, Gore has proposed increasing the num­ ber of "H l-B " visas from 115,0)0 to 200,00). Bush sup'p'orts raising it as well, but has not propxised a specific number. • Exp*orts and national security: Bush has endorsed legislation that allows firms to export piroducts that are "already readily available in for­ eign or mass markets." Gore would take step's to "avoid unnecessary restrictions on high-tech exports." • Internet sales taxes: Bush supports foe current moratorium on such taxes, and would extend it several years. Gore backs a 3-year moratorium. For all foe promises of new law's and regulations, what many young entrepreneurs here said they want most is for government to stay out ot foe way. Assowated Press Republican presidential candidate Gov. George W. Bush sh ahes hands with ,a,K show host Oprah W in,rey be,ore his interview on The Oprah W infrey Show on Tuesday in Chicago. Bush talks to Oprah, female audience By The Associated Press CH ICAGO — Gov. George W. Bush told Oprah and her millions of female viewers he "was gave up drinking because alcohol beginning to complete for my affections. And w hen asked about his favorite dream," he grinned and raised his right hand, as if taking the presidential oath. But he was careful about baring too much on Winfrey's TV show Tuesday. The talk show diva noted that he had said in his G O P acceptance Speech that he need­ ed forgiveness. When did he need it1 "Right now," he said, to laughter. "I'm looking for speafics," she persisted. "I know you are," he said, bul 1 m run­ ning for president." That brought more laughter and applause from Winfrey's studio audience as she taped her px>p>ular syndicated show. Both Republican Bush and Dem ocrat A1 Gore — who answered questions from the are actively same chair a week earlier courting undecided women votéis. And women viewers are what Winfrey has. Alternately serious and playful, Bush field­ ed questions for an hour— onfois parents, his religion, his dreams, his likes and dislikes. G ore's performance had been widely piraised and som e Republicans had feared that Winfrey, a contributor to Democratic campaigns, might be a difficult host. But they got along smoothly. And Bush gave Winfrey something she hadn't received from Gore: a kiss on foe cheek. "N o kiss?" she had said to Gore, pretending to be hurt. Bush, 54, turned serious when recounting his decision to give up drinking at age 40 after a binge with friends in Colorado Springs, Colo. .Although he has told foe story before, Bush gave extra emphasis to foe impact his drinking had on his wife Laura and their twin daughters, now 18. "Alcohol was beginning to compete with my' affections for my wife and my family. It was beginning to crowd out my energy. And I decided to quit." He said Laura had not quite given him an ultimatum. "But I think she got disappoint­ ed in some evenings. ... There were some times when she said 'you need to think about what you're doing. During foe show, Bush tossed in a few bits of campaign rhetoric. But Winfrey tried to draw him out with more personal questions, and for foe most part he went along. Asked what he thought was the biggest pub­ lic misconception about him, Bush said that it was that "I'm running on my daddy"s name.' Not true, he said, though "I love my dad a kit. "H e gave me the great gift of uncondi­ tional love, which is a fabulous gift," Bush said. "It's allowed me to feel 1 can dare to tail and dare to succeed." He said he felt "a deep calling" tube president. "W hen did that happen?" Winfrey asked. "Were you sitting in Midland? Were you walking through foe woods ...?" "A bolt of lightning? Thou shall be presi­ dent," he joked. "N o, 1 started thinking about it seriously over Christmas in 98. Asked why Americans should vote for him, Bush said that he was a "proven leader" and rattled off a list of goals including improvements in education, a strong mili­ tary, a better health care system and the like. "A1 Gore says the same thing," Winfrey interjected. "That's fine. But they can't get it done. They've been up there for eight years trying to get something done." Asked w'hat things he knows for sure, Bush said: 'T h at there Ls a God. ... That I'm sitting here talking to you. That 1 love my wife. In a restaurant across the street Laura Bush watched her husband's interview. She and a noisy group of female supporters sat beneath a giant banner that read, "W stands for women." _W&N B riefs Hijacked Cuban plane crashes in Gulf of Mexico; nine rescued KEY WEST, Fla. — A small plane that left Cuba with 10 people aboard Tuesday was hijacked before it crashed into the Gulf of Mexico, authori­ ties said. One man was killed and the others were found clinging to debris and were later rescued by a cargo ship. The crew of the Chios Dream, a Panamanian- registered freighter, recovered one body and the survivors — three men, three women and three children — from rough seas nearly 300 miles off -the Florida coast about five hours after the plane took off, the U.S. Coast Guard said. O ne man had severe head and neck injuries. A Coast Guard cutter planned to meet the freighter Tuesday night and pick up the survivors. The most seriously injured were to be flown to Key West for treatment. Details of who was on the flight and where it was going were unclear late Tuesday. It was unknown whether the plane ran out of fuel; the Coast Guard said it was heading west — away 'from both Florida and Cuba — when it went down. "Apparently it was hijacked, and the pilot indi­ cated they only had one hour fuel, said Lauren Gail Stover, associate director of Miami-Dade . County Aviation Department. took off T he Antonov A N -2 Colt from Herradura Airport in Pinar del Rio, in Cuba's western province. Based on the last radar location given by Cuban air traffic controllers and an emer­ gency beacon signal picked up by a U.S. AWACS plane, the Colt was believed to have gone down about 90 miles southwest of Key West, U.S. offi­ cials said. - The survivors, however, were pulled from the water more than 200 miles west of that area, the Coast Guard said. Lead still in calcium supplements; a risk In megadoses, study says CH ICAGO — Many over-the-counter calcium supplements that millions take to keep bones 'strong contain small amounts of lead that could be a health risk if recommended doses are exceeded, new research suggests. • Though manufacturers have reduced the lead content since the debate first surfaced several years ago, the authors say they re-examined the issue because doctors are increasingly recommending .calcium supplements to menopausal women and other patients to prevent osteoporosis. About 5 percent of the U.S. population takes the supplem ents, including a sizable num ber of menopausal women, who face an increased risk of osteoporosis as their bodies stop producing estro­ gen. About 10 million American? suffer from the bone-thinning disease. Calcium is often mined from ancient seabeds ’that also m ay contain lead, which in high doses "can damage the nerves, blood cells and digestive system, causing such problems as irritability, iatigue, vomiting, convulsions and permanent brain damage. Peru’s Fujimori climbs up palace gate at pro-government rally LIMA, Peru — President Alberto Fujimori climbed atop the gate of the Government Palace late Tuesday and greeted a roaring throng, making his first public appearance since Peru's latest polit- ’.ical crisis erupted. ; The astonishing sight appeared to be a signal to •powerful army generals who are believed to be ; loyal to Vladimiro Montesinos, the national intel- ’ligence chief engulfed in a bribery scandal that • unleashed the crisis that is ending the president's ¡ decade in power. • In a flamboyant return to Lim a's streets since his •weekend announcement that he would call for I new elections but not run again, Fujimori electn- •fied a nighttime crowd by climbing unaided up ’•the 10-foot-high cement and wrought iron gate. ¡ "Chino, Presidente!" thousands of well-wishers ;chanted, using a nickname that refers to Fujimori's • Asian features. ¡ A son of poor Japanese immigrants, Fujimori 'stood in a dark suit and tie atop the gate beneath '•an old-fashioned lamplight, waving to the crowd, '.which chanted: "Chino, don't go! Tha people are ’with you!" •Despite thiccrt fronn hi^i oi prices, IMF sees strong economic gowth • PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Surging oil prices •and the sinking Euro are rattling markets, but the ‘.International Monetary Fund predicted Tuesday •that the world economy could demonstrate better • growth this year than it has in more than a decade. ; Economies should also improve at healthy rates •in 2001, led by the powerful U.S. expansion, more •growth in Europe and a continued recovery from ’.the Asian financial crisis, the IMF said in its latest •World Economic Outlook. ¡ The IMF predicted the global economy will ’.grow by 4.7 percent this year, a 0.5-percentage- : point increase from the last such prediction in May. •That would match growth last recorded in 1988. ¡ But oil prices hovering at levels unseen since the •1990 Persian Gulf crisis could spoil the rosy pic- '•ture, IM F officials acknowledged a week before ’.the annual meetings here of the IMF and its sister •institution, the World Bank. M ichael M ussa, the IMF chief econom ist, ‘warned of several other potential downsides, 'including the Euro's slide against the U.S. dollar •and the Japanese y e a as well as the record U S. ¡trade deficit. "Strong growth is recorded in virtually all the • •world's regions," Mussa told reporters. "A nd it ¡should sustain better than 4-percent growth next •year but there are still some downside risks •because of oil prices." ¡ Mussa warned that if the U S. economy grinds ¡to a sudden halt, that could harm prospects else- n , •where. __ Compiled from Associated Press reports Palestinians call time-out Peace talks on hold until Israel explains its *confusing ’ behaviour 'There is no doubt that foe Palestinians need //t*! to be not only good in public relations, but also straightforward in foe negotiations," Yatom told Israel army radio, referring to Israeli com­ plaints that foe Palestinians have rolled back on understandings reached in previous sessions t-Vi.it frViP P p i I p s By The Associated Press JERUSALEM — After Israel called a time-out and then called it in peace talks on luesday the Palestinians called oft just hours later their ow n time-out, saying they wanted an explanation for Israel's confusing behavior. The brinkmanship reflects the deadlock that has characterized tlx? talks since the a'llapse of foe Camp David s u m m it in July, and comes as the United States draits bridging proposals that could be presented as earlv a-* tlu* weekend in a final effort to dose the gaps and conclude a peace deal. "The Palestinian leadership decided not to resume the negotiations without having an offidal clarification by the Prime Minister of Israel about his decisions today, which con­ fused us," said a statement released after the senior Palestinian negotiators briefed Yasser Arafat in foe West Bank towm of Ramailah. "First he asked us to stop the negotiations and later in foe evening he asked us to resume it. . E a rlie r Tuesday, Prime Minister Ehud Barak's security advisor, Danny Yatom, announced a time-out tliat would last for a tew days at most. Yatom said Israel had called for tl ic break because it reeded some time to assess tire negotiations. Barak :.aid Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has not budged since the Mideast peace sum­ mit at Cam p David in July, which broke down over foe Jerusalem issue "Negotiations will be resumed when Chairman Arafat will be ready to take the ideas that were raised at Camp David by I’resident Clinton or the ideas that were raised by the Amencans since th en. as a basis for negotiation,' he said. Yet, within hours, Barak spokesman Gadi Baltiansky was announcing that negotiators were to meet Wednesday to assess foe talks. The back-and-forth angered Palestinians, who said it looked as if Israel was trying to set them up to take the blame for foe talks collapse. "It is obvious that the Israeli government is try­ ing to assign blame to us, but on the other hand, they are closing all the doors to any progress," Saeb Erekat, the top Palestinian negotiator had s a i d when he first heard of the time-out. President Clinton said foe United States would not abandon its efforts. "They're both feeling the pressure of these hard issues and the press of time. I don't think it s mor$ complicated than that, C linton said in Washington. "And as long as they get back to the work, you should feel positive about it— We ve A s s o c ia te d P re ss just got to keep working at it, and try to finish. Talks are hung up over who will be sover­ eign over a key Jerusalem shnne sacred to Jews Temple Mount and to Muslims as as the Haram as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary. The Palestinians insist on full control of the shrine, home to two major mosques marking the spot where tradition says Prophet Muhammad ascend­ ed to heaven They have said that at most they w'ould alkiw symbohc Islamic sovereignty there.

Stetson Is a Journalism senior Out in Left Field The UT Memory Bank is now on-line, collecting and making available first- person accounts of life anti events at the University throughout its history. Everyone is invited to sub­ mit their personal recollec­ tions to the project, which will post them, on the Web site and donate copies to a sp'cial collection in the University Archives for access by future genera­ tions. The goal of the Memory Bank is to provide narra­ tive tours of the University during controversial or traumatic times, such as World War II or the Civil Rights Movement so that everyone can get a better sense of what the 40 Acres has gone through over the years. Anyone may contribute a memory by going to: ivwuKutexas.edu/tours /prowl and selecting the UT Memory Bank icon. Any sort of story is wel­ come, from funny anec­ dotes about those “special professors, to accounts of the darkest hours. The early years, from the 1880's to the 1920’s are being filled in now with material from the UT Archives and articles from the early editions of the Alcalde magazine, and an' available for viewing now. THE FIRING UNE _______ Ditch the double standard Well, chalk up another chapter to be included in m ultiracial folklore at the University. Our "stu ­ d ent" newspaper, that w holly unbiased source of news and inform ation, has inform ed us through an objective editorial analysis that yet another nonw hite has been discrim inated against by the dreaded "institutional racism " at the University. O f course, the editorial is right in one respect, there IS institutional racism at the University. In fact, som e years back it w as technically struck in fam o u s case know n as dow n by "H op w ood ." Despite the efforts of ever busy egal­ itarians to overturn the decision, it has perse­ vered. However, the fact that the racial group w hose taxes, tuition and fees disproportionately pay to keep the University, our "w onderful world of diversity," up and running has no student group to represent their interests is proof that "in stitutional racism " still exists. the now The editor m akes another intriguing comment about the fact that the jury in the recent discrim i­ nation law suit was com posed entirely of whites. He or she refers to them as "n o t quite [the plain­ tiff's] peers." Im agine if a new spaper journalist referred to nonw hites as "n o t-q u ite" the peers of another w hite person. Can you im agine the breast- beating, garm ent-renting and lam entations that would take place by the w orshippers of the reli­ gion of racial equality? The individual who made the statem ent would be forced to undergo psychi­ atric evaluations and "sensitivity training" by his em ployer, if he or she w asn t fired and charged with a "h ate-crim e." I hope my fellow European- A m erican students take note of the blatant double standard in the way racially charged com m ents are treated by your paper and this university. Joseph Sibley Philosophy and classics Junior Finally, a break 1 felt like I won the lottery Monday. That w as when I found out about the new UT staff educa­ tion benefit. This benefit provides tuition and fees for one class to full-tim e em ployees who have w orked for 12 con tin u ou s m onths. Ironically, many staff could not afford to take classes at the University. Now, I see co-w orkers with a renewed optim ism for their future, as further education is w ithin their reach. And a load of anticipated deht has now been lifted off my shoulders. W orking full-tim e at the U niversity now provides a tangi­ ble benefit. M aybe pursuing a degree this way w on't be easy or fast, but at least it doesn t present a financial obstacle. Thanks to the O ffice of Human Resources for this action, as well as the USA for bringing aw are­ ness to staff concerns. Sincerely, Mary Aycock Graduate School of Library and Information Science UT staff The right to bike For w hatever reason, the Texan editorial staff decided to devote yesterday's entire Firing Line section to three shrill letters unfairly stereotyping bicyclists and providing a terribly narrow point of view on a serious cam pus-w ide issue. W hile there may be som e bicyclists that ride unsafely and break traffic laws, that is not a logi­ cal reason for a ban to all bicycle travel on Speedway. W hat we do need are reasonable cam ­ pus speed lim its (10 mph), w ell-designed bike- ways and decent enforcem ent targeting renegade bicyclists. The University as w ell as other private and pub­ lic entities in Austin should do everything possi­ ble to prom ote bicycle travel, as each bicycle on the roadway sym bolizes one less car in overflow ­ ing parking facilities, on jam m ed freew ays and on gridlocked thoroughfares. The’ ban of bicycles on Speedw ay is a backw ard move that discourages bicycle travel. One of the prim ary benefits of trav­ eling by bike is the ability to ride close to your destination and park w ithin a short distance of the building entrance. If you force bicyclists to get of and walk for substantial distances, it creates a huge disincentive to a superior (both environm en­ tally and perso n ally) m ethod of travel in an increasingly crow ded city. In conclusion, the adm inistrations decision to close Speedw ay to bicyclists is flawed for so many reasons. Environm ental concerns aside, the lack of public inform ation and input prior to disclosure of the decision w as inexcusable. Bicyclists are an identifiable constituency and a significant pres­ ence on cam pus. Their needs must be met for their ow n sake, and for the benefit of the community. * Nell Krasnoff Graduate student Library and Information Science Make room for bikes In response to M ichael, Cam m i and A lfonso's letters on Tuesday (in response to my letter on M onday): First of all, m uch has com e to light since I first w rote that letter to the UT D epartm ent of Parking and Transportation last week. The issue at hand is this: the C am pus M aster Plan (visit it online at: http://iu w u ilib.u texas.edu /cam pu sm asterplan /) calls for a cam pus w here "bicy cles can cross the cai^ ' pus quickly and efficiently w ithout adding to the load of m otorized vehicles, and allow a return to the ideal 10-m inute transportation time. The new m aster plan gives them a clear status on the cam ­ p us." In regards to Speedway, it states that a des­ ignated bicycle path will separate bike traffic from pedestrians and w ill help to form a linear piazza in one of the m ost densely populated areas of cam pus." So w here is the bike path? The current situation on Speedw ay is being called an "exp erim en t" and a transportation study is being conducted. Bicycle transportation is being seriously overlooked in this study and that is reflected in the current bike ban. It is im portant that bikes be considered in the decisions to change the physical layout of the cam pus. For many stu­ dents, faculty and staff, cycling is their main choice of transportation to get to w ork and to school. Just think of how much more crow ded the shuttle bus would be if all those people decided not to bike around cam pus!

In a ceremony before about 100 peo­ ple, the three professors presented their current work, after which three "reac­ tors" gave their opinions on the research. "We don't always have the chance to get to know our faculty," said Teresa Sullivan, vice president and dean of graduate studies. "[They] are one of the most im portant resources we put in front of the students here." The "New Generation of Scholarship" sym posium honored Michael Ray Charles, an associate professor of studio art, Darlene Grant, an associate profes­ sor of social work, and David Sosa, an associate professor of philosophy, as part of the U niversity'sll7th birthday. « . . . i « Sosa, who is w orking on projects regarding ethics — the intersection of mind and language and the concept of free will said receiving tenure is an essential part of academia. "It frees you from certain sorts of insti­ tutional pressures and enables you to really try to be creative," Sosa said. "It gives you the time and flexibility to p u r­ sue things you might not have been able to do." In a slide show of his internationally exhibited work, Charles featured his pop-art style of painting that explores race and "images of blackness" as histor­ ically depicted in advertising. Grant said she is passionate about social work and thrilled to be tenured. She is currently working w ith mothers and daughters who are in prison. "It always has to do w ith touching other people and a willingness to let them touch me and change me, and that's what makes it so exciting and ^ T f __* * - i f new," Grant said. "If you're lucky, a \ / o i i r p social worker has or will touch your life in some way." Sosa said being a professor is more than just teaching; it is also advising, mentoring, serving on committees and doing "cutting-edge research and pro­ ducing significant new work." Brett Austria, an undeclared sopho­ more, said the symposium made her aware of cross-disciplinary educational possibilities. "I was really impressed by the array of there," the different professors up Austria said. David Flaxbart, a professional UT librarian and reactor at the symposium, remarked on academia s increasing trend toward specialization over the past decades. "The am ount of know ledge that's being generated has been growing geo­ metrically for so many years that it's no longer possible to know everything in even a sub-discipline," Flaxbart said. Former ‘American-Statesman photographer, award-winning UT alumnus dies at age 76 By Michelle Mays Daily Texan Staff BUI Malone, a long-tim e photographer for the A u s t i n A m e r ic a n - S t a te s m a n and a UT alum nus, took one ot the firs p ic tu r e s of the U T Tower lit orange. Malone died M onday at the age of 76 after battling respi­ ratory disease. Beginning a career of photography at age 8 in his family darkroom, he went on to photograph for the Pans Junior College and the S ta te sm a n , said his sister, Lois Malone "He truly loved being in nature, and in the hustle and bus­ tle of the city, the politics and education, said daughter Elizabeth Burdine. "He was just a m an that truly loved life." As one of the handful of photographers allowed to shoot the UT football team years ago, McCoin said Malone had a close friendship with legendary UT football coach Darrell K After graduating from the University, M alone opened a commercial portrait studio, where he worked for the next 44 years of his life. He became the official state of Texas pho­ tographer, chronicling decades of governors from Beautord Jester in 1947 to Ann Richards in 1991, McCoin At his retirem ent reception in 1991, former Gov. Ann Richards presented him with an aw ard for the docum enta­ tion and preservation of Texas photographic history. He loved the time he spent in his darkroom and hand-tin- ished all of his photographs long after autom ated film ■ % „ processors became popular, Burdine said. "He truly loved his work and the people he worked with,^ she said. "He never had anything bad to say about anyone. A nature lover, Malone photographed more wildflowers in Travis County than he could find listed in wildflow er refer­ ence guides, Burdine said. She recalled how each spring he w ould photograph his favorite w ildflower — an orchid that bloom ed in the knot of a cedar tree. "W hen I think of Bill, I think first of the wildflowers and the lake," McCoin said, adding that Malone lived the last 30 years of his life on Lake Travis. Anyone w ho knew Malone loved him, said daughter M argaret Dixon. , , , "I used to call him a m an's man, as well as a lady S man because people liked him so much," Dixon said. "We could never have him to ourselves when we were kids because people always w anted to talk to him. a f o w t w r d W f * US to rt tv to M ain M ImmpGmÉ ■ n a u m *■» §■ G ¡.«FOIOavGN^lUPa» ***"• ■1 & 5 Nk**s Stop**1* C/v*kv'l V ¡¡•NwvSiae Parties «.MappfHoure Hf If |.Roi««np*MtiWorMc*wco*i' ' 1 - M O O - • ILfcSkt W W W . u m t l .

State& Local Jubilee 2000 aids third world countries September 20, 2000 T he Da m T exan By Melissa Drosjack Daily Texan Staff UT students signed a petition Tuesday to participate in a w orldw ide movement to help third-w orld countries alleviate their debts. C harlotte M sw eigye, chairw om an of Jubilee 2000, addressed a crowd of about 50 at the U niversity Teaching Center, explaining that the coalition decided to initiate this effort as a way to help strug­ gling countries gain financial support. She said the coalition "came together from a call to hum anity by God. The coalition has collected about 22 million signatures around the world since it started advertising its cause in 1996. Jubilee 2000 is a w orldw ide coalition of churches and nonprofit organizations that targets rich countries and encourages them to sign petitions asking the U.S. Congress to support additional funding for third-w orld country debts, including those of Asia, Africa and Latin America. "The debt is having a crushing effect on the people all over the third world," said Jere Locke, a Jubilee 2000 volunteer. "There's no infrastructure, all the money is going to the banks to repay the debt, causing genocide and recolonization to happen." Michel Scott, a com puter science fresh­ man, said he signed the petition and took extra copies to get his friends involved. "This affects me as a student in one way because I can make a difference," Scott said. "I support the cause because I feel that a lot of people are suffering for rea­ sons that are not justified, and it helps me reach out w ith my friends and give myself some moral stability." The potential influence of a a large stu­ d en t body was one of the reasons Msweigye said she chose to speak at the University. "You have the capacity and strength of over 50,000 students, a pow er and factor as actors in this," M sweigye said. "If we happened to get all 50,000 to write dow n a line or two to their congressman, that w ould make a difference. It would get representatives convinced it is a neces­ sary step to take to help the countries." Don Fullerton, a UT professor of eco­ nomics, said affluent countries could ben­ efit from helping the poor, adding that they could enhance trade relationships. "The U.S. is a rich nation and ought to help the less fortunate other than our­ selves," Fullerton said. "How to do that is another m atter — foreign aid in this coun­ try is tiny, it's less than 1 percent of the federal budget." Charlotte Mweslgye, chair­ woman of Jubilee 2000, spoke at the University Teaching Center, as well as several other Austin locations Tuesday in an ongo­ ing cam­ paign call­ ing for the elimina­ tion of Third- World debt. Amber N ovak/ Daily Texan Staff Party seeks increased p By Julie Nolen Daily Texan Staff Hoping to increase public recognition and gamer increased minority support, the Travis County Green Party and Ralph Nader £000 presidential cam­ paign opened their newest office Tuesday in East Austin. Texas Green Party co-chairman Steve Agan said opening the office in a com­ munity with a large minority popula­ tion will help the party reach out to those voters. The Green Party, which began in 1983, has a platform that includes uni­ versal health-care coverage, a living wage, environm ental protection and campaign finance reform. "Now every person of every color can say this is your party too," Agan said. "People of all stripes think the cur­ rent political parties are corrupt.' Agan said the party's new office will offer literature about the Green Party, as well provide party members to answer questions about the presidential cam- paign. "This should put a face to the Nader campaign in Austin," Agan said. Ray Ramirez, president of Congonas, a local community service organization, welcomed the Green Party into East Austin Tuesday and praised its respect for Hispanic, African-American and Asian-American communities. "Your location and presence in the inner city ... represents an active effort to reach out and ask for our inclusion in the political process," Ramirez said. Speaking about issues that concern minorities, Ramirez cited the minori­ ty-heavy prison population, the failed war on drugs, Draconian immigration laws and not including third parties in the presidential debates. "Many citizens and voters feel 'locked out' of the current political dia­ logue at all levels, and a good example is the exclusion of any independent par­ ticipation in the debates scheduled between the two major party candi­ dates," Ramirez said. UT Students for Nader co-president Brian Carnes said independent parties give voters more choices. "In 1996 I didn't vote. I didn't think 1 had much of a choice," said Carnes, a doctoral student in computational and applied mathematics. "1 heard Nader speak and he inspired me." Formerly known as the University Greens, Students for Nader helped gather more than 75,000 signatures statewide last spring to place Nader on the ballot for the Nov. 7 elections. The Green Party is now striving to get at least 5 percent of the vote in Iexas statewide elections, which will guaran­ tee a place on the ballot for the Green Party in 2002. Five percent of the vote nationwide will entitle the Green Party to federal funding in the next presiden­ tial race. Adrienne Boer, Travis County Green Party co-chairwoman said the Green Party's goal now is to gain long-term recognition for the party. Statewide candidates include Railroad Commission candidates Gary Dugger and Charlie Mauch, Texas Supreme Court candidate Ben Levy and U.S. Senate candidate Doug S^ndage. Consumer group criticizes Texas Supreme Court By Jamie Kopf Daily Texan Staff In a public m eeting T hursday at the Capitol, a con­ sum er organization criticized the Texas Suprem e C ourt for consistently p u ttin g business interests above those of Texas consum ers an d families. Texas W atch's an nu al review of Suprem e C ourt deci­ sions, released at the m eeting, was com piled by the o rganization's C ourt Watch project, w hich m onitors the state's court and legal system . The study found th at consum er plaintiffs lost about o n e-th ird of all cases against corporate and govern­ m ent defendants before the Texas Suprem e C ourt last year. A lthough this num ber represents a slight im prove­ m ent over last year, C ourt Watch representatives said the co u rt's decisions still reflect a lack of regard not only for consum ers, b u t also for w om en, children and w orkers. . "T his co urt is no t a balanced court," said Dan Lam be, executive directo r of Texas Watch. There aren 't voices adding to the debate from all sides of the spectrum . W e're not getting a lot of m oderation, and w e're not getting a lot of argum ents for consum er p ro ­ tection." The 1999-2000 C ourt Watch rep o rt also includes a "D irty D ozen" list of 12 Texas Suprem e C ourt rulings that the organization has deem ed the m ost harm ful decisions over the p ast year. Lam be m entioned recent w orker-safety cases on the list as particularly relevant to university students, w ho may w ork in the service or construction industries d u r­ ing college. O sier McCarthy, an attorney for public inform ation for the Texas Suprem e C ourt and UT adjunct professor of journalism , said the D irty Dozen list oversim plifies the legal com plexities of the cases. . "G od bless C ourt Watch, b u t th ere's no law yer over there taking a look at things," M cCarthy said. "The law has got som e com plication to it, an d they've reduced [each case] to one sim ple declaration."

UT needs to pick QB Damien Pierce D aily Texan C o lu m n ist OK, it's time to admit it. The Longhorns have two starting quar­ terbacks, a pair of signal callers that could sling Texas to victory if given die chance. It doesn't matter if they switch time under center every down, and it's wonderful they are so eager to share their playing time. A two-quarterback system rules. Wait. Let me start over and take a mulligan here, because I just can't do this. I can't sit here and tell you what a perfect system the Longhorns have going under center, and I certainly can't change my defi­ nition of "starter" just because everyone in a burnt orange and white uniform says I should. So let me start over and say what I really think because, after all, you deserve that. So here it goes: Texas needs to pick a start­ ing quarterback. Pick One That's singular; as in only one guy. No more of this sharing time stuff. I don't care who, just choose one or the other because I'm tired of peering from the press box like some secret agent trying to discover who is heading onto die field in the upcoming series. Pick Major Applewhite because he's been there and he's won the big games. Pick Applewhite because he was the co-Big 12 offensive player of the year last season, and pick him because he didn't do anything wrong to lose his job. But if you don't want to pick Applewhite, then what the heck pick Chris Simms. Pick Simms because you think he's going to win even bigger games than Major in the future. Pick Simms because you can't bear to have him on the bench, and pick him because he's a star waiting to be bom. • But pick one for die love of God because, much like the presidential race, you don't get to select both candidates. The country would fall apart with two leaders, and coin­ cidentally, so may the Longhorns if this trend continues. Think I'm wrong? Heck take a good look at what happened last Saturday night at Stanford Stadium. While a nonexistent running game, poor punting and officials that obviously were wearing Stanford shirts underneath their zebra stripes certainly didn't help Texas' cause for its second win on the season, the quarterback situation had an effect on the outcome of the game whether die Texas coaching staff wants to admit it or not. Applewhite started the game, and after leading the offense to a goose egg through a couple of series, Simms was inserted into the lineup. That's not exactiy a vote of confidence for Majoi; but hey, Simms got the same treat­ ment last weekend, so no big deal. Right? So Simms comes in, fires a 38-yard scor­ ing strike to Roy Williams to give Texas its first lead at 9-6, and for the rest of the game, we should expect to see the sophomore run­ ning the offense because that was the love Applewhite got in Austin only a week before. Think again. Simms came up empty on the next series, was jerked out, and then he eventually got put back in the lineup after standing on the sideline for an eternity, hardly warming up any more. He might as well have been standing in Antarctica for 30 minutes. And that's die part of a two-quarterback system that doesn't work Rhythm lost with two QBs A quaiteiback has to get a feel of the game. He has to be able to stare at his defen­ sive opponents all game long to get an understanding of what they are going to present him with every down, especially since Texas makes most of its offensive-play decisions at die line of scrimmage. It appeared that the UT coaching staff fig­ ured that out in the fourth quarter against Stanford when they left Applewhite in to rally the Horns to a 24-20 lead with 5:44 remaining in the contest. But had they gone with one guy earlier in the game, would we still be talking about the disappointing loss to Stanford? Probably not. Thus, the Longhorns can't continue to play die pair in the fashion they have. This isn't a game of musical chairs, if s football. Texas' "two starting" quarterbacks are constantly coming off the bench cold and though neither will say it, they have to be looking over their shoulder every time they throw a pass. They wouldn't be human if they weren't. So please, end this mess and pick a quar­ terback before the remainder of the season is flushed down die drain because erf the con­ stant pressure that is being hurled at these two young quarterbacks. The two-quarter­ back system is just too high-stressed, so pick on£* Heck, if for no other reason, do it for the sanity of sports reporters everywhere.

'"A* AMERICANS TUMBLED OVER U.S. Gymnasts place fourth, Romania wins By The Associated Press SYDNEY, Australia — The Americans were definitely the most spirited, rowdiest bunch on the floor. But this is the Olympic gymnastics competitioa not the world cheerleading championships. Finally showing the fire Bela Karolyi wanted so badly, the United States just didn't have the tricks it needed to get on the medals podium Tuesday night. Four years after winning the gold medal in Atlanta, the Americans finished fourth in the women's team final competition. World champion Romania won its second gold medal, clinching it with 154.608 points. Russia won the silver and China took the bronze. Still, for a team that finished a humiliating sixth at last fall's world championships and then showed all the emotion and skill of a YMCA tumbling class in Saturday's preliminaries, this was progress. "I believe they started catching up," said Karolyi, who again watched the competition from the press seats. "They started building the confidence that's so much needed in the competition. They started getting united as a team, looking like a team and working like a team. "That's very, very important. And that's probably the biggest success of the night." The Romanians might disagree. They'd never beaten the Russians in an Olympic competition and had fin­ ished second to them so many times, they were starting to feel like they'd never break through. Their only gold medal came in 1984, when most of the Eastern bloc bo\ cotted the games. But Romania was nearly perfect luesday. With world * champion Maria Olaru leading the way, they built a solid lead and then had to wait out two more rotations until the Chinese and Russians finished. It was probably the most enjoyable wait they've ever With the pressure on, the Russians and Chinese slipped, slid and bumbled. Svetlana Khorkina, the defending world and Olympic champ on bars, fell off, a slip so ghastly it drew a gasp from the crowd. The Russians finished up on the floor, the same spot they occupied in 1996, when they lost the gold to the Americans. Back then, janitors could have used a squeegee to sop up Khorkina, who dissolved in tears as she watched Kerri Strug do her famous vault. S K S 8 « = « r s S S B ^ ......

The U.S. m en's soccer team made it to the next round — the Olympic quarterfinals for the first time ever. Australian wunderkind Ian Thorpe went looking for his next gold medal —■ his third — and found it. And the U.S. wom en's gymnastics team will have to wait for next time — four years from now — after failing to win a medal at the Sydney Games. On the Melbourne Cricket Grounds, the American soccer players notched a historic 3- *1 victory Tuesday over Kuwait — a triumph that moved them into new territory, the Olympic quarterfinals. The Americans, need­ ing a win to advance, outplayed their oppo­ nents to earn one. A first-half goal by Danny Califf preceded second-half tallies by Chris Albright and Landon Donovan as the Americans won for just the fifth time in 25 Olympic contests dat­ ing back to 1924. Two of those wins were against Kuwait. In three preliminary games, the Americans wound up 1-0-2, good enough to move for­ ward. By day's end Tuesday, the United States topped the medal table with 18 (7 gold, 6 sil­ ver, 5 bronze). Host Australia was next with 17 (6-5-6), followed by China's 15 (6-2-7). ■ SWIMMING: It's a sight that America's swim m ers have seen far in Australia: the back of lan Thorpe's size 18 feet. too often Thorpe, the 17-year-old Australian swim­ ming sensation, captured his third gold medal of the Sydney Games by leading his team to victory Tuesday over the U.S. team.

You give a news conference and nobody even asks you a question — unless it's about LctriCB. But that's what happens nowadays when I he Lance Show rolls into town. Armstrong is back at the Olympics, for the third time. But this time, things are oh so different. In the interven­ ing four years, he has become a star — one of those stars , whose fame transcends their sport. Four years ago in Atlanta, the Texan cyclist finished way out of medal contention. Known as a good nder, but not necessarily a great one, he left Atlanta not know­ ing that he was ill — very ill. Two months later, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain. Doctors gave him about a 50 percent chance of surviving. . • The story of Armstrong's recovery was stunning enough. Then there was his remarkable victory in the 1999 Tour de France, one of the most grueling events in all sports. And then, as if to show it was no fluke, he repeated that victory this year. At a news conference Tuesday, the trappings that go along with Armstrong's newfound fame were evident Though it was billed as a news conference for the U.S. team, virtually every question went to Arms¡™n8/ Finally teammate George Hincapié got a chance: What, the questioner wanted to know, was it like being on a team where one person gets all the attention? We're used to it, Hincapié replied.

Brown released by Cleveland CLEVELAND — Orlando Brown, who hasn't played since his right eye was struck by a referee's penalty flag last season, was released Tuesday by the Cleveland Browns. Brown sustained permanent damage to his right eye in a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 19. The 6-foot 7-inch, 350-pound offensive tackle dropped to one knee in pain and stag­ gered toward the sideline. He came back onto the field and shoved referee Jeff Triplette to the ground. Brow n said he became enraged because he was afraid of going blind. His father lost his sight to glau­ coma. " I would have had a difficult time putting him back on the field in view of his personal concerns and his inability to recover from the injury," brow ns' coach Chris Palmer said. The eight-year veteran was initially sus­ pended indefinitely, but the NFL lifted its penalty in February. The team placed Brown list on the physically-unable-to-perform Aug. 27. Brown has been unable to lift weights or run since being injured. Last month, he said he still has blurred vision, but said he hoped to play again. He retained lawyer Johnnie Cochran Jr. to explore the possibility of a lawsuit against the league. —Compiled from Associated Press reports Olympics’ TV ratings sagging By The Associated Press _ NEW YORK — Lagging TV ratings through four nights of the Olympics mean view ers probably will see less action from Sydney and more commer­ cials. NBC is averaging a 14.3 national rating with a 25 share, well below the final num ber produced by any Summer Games and 11 percent short of what the network promised advertisers. "N ot as many people are tuning in as was projected and there's a combination of factors that has led to that,' NBC Sports vice president Kevin Sullivan said Tuesday night from Sydney. Now the network most likely will add extra commercials to its broadcasts to sat­ isfy advertisers. NBC's original plan was to air 18 ads per hour, one fewer than during the Atlanta Olympics four years ago. its coverage of "This will not affect the financial bot­ tom line at all," Sullivan said. M onday night's telecast, featuring swimming and the men's team gymnas­ tics final, drew a 13.8 rating and 23 share. . r m l 1____________________A ñ « A í ' / ’ n n ¥ K o l / Y U That's a whopping 40 percent below what NBC got for the equivalent day in Atlanta four years ago. It's also 27 percent lower than what the same day received at the 1988 Seoul Gam es — the last time the Summer Olympics were staged this late in the year. Among the factors that might be ham­ pering the network's audience for the Sydney Games: The 15-hour time differ­ ence between Sydney and the East Coast; N BC's decision, based on that gap, to show every second of competition on tape, anywhere from two to 20 hours after it takes place; TV competition from sports like football and baseball. Yet all of that was taken into account when NBC told Advertisers the games would fare no worse than a 16.1 average rating. Based on that estimate, NBC made $900 million in gross advertising sales, enough to turn a profit on the $705 mil­ lion TV the International Olympic Committee and the $100 million in production costs. fee paid rights to Palmeiro hits 399th homer in 15-7 loss B y The Associated Press M INNEAPOLIS — Rafael Palmeiro has his sight set on a higher goal. Jacque Jones drove in a career-high five runs and the Minnesota Twins overcame Palmeiro's 399th career homer to defeat the Texas Rangers 15-7 Tuesday night. "It's nice to accomplish something like that," Palmeiro said as he closes in on homer No. 400. "But, I want to keep it going and reach 500." Palmeiro hit his 38th homer of the season, moving into a tie with A1 Kaline for 32nd on the career list. Jones hit a three-run homer— his 19th— and a two-run single for Minnesota, which has won three straight for the first time since July 24-27. "It's just a number," Jones said of the 20- homer mark. "But, you can't get caught up in those." Jones, who has 73 RBIs, had nine homers and 44 RBIs as a rookie last season. Cristian Guzman was 4-for-5 with three RBIs and rookie Luis Rivas was 4-for-6 with two RBIs as the Twins set season highs for runs and hits (20). M att Kinney (2-2) allowed four runs and four hits in 5 2-3 innings to beat Ryan Glynn (5- 5), who gave up nine runs — seven earned — and 12 hits in three-plus innings. "I struggled but the team picked me up big," Kinney said. "I tried to do too much." "I was too inconsistent," Glynn said. Texas made four errors that led to four unearned runs. M innesota took a 3-0 lead in the first. Guzman, Luis Rivas and M att Lawton hit con­ secutive singles and Jones hit a two-out, two- run single. Palmeiro hit a three-run homer in the third following a pair of walks, but Jones hit a three- run hom er and Guzman had an RBI single in the bottom half for a 7-3 lead, with an error by second basem an Luis Alicea hurting the Barnes, Pierzynski and Guzman each drove in a run in the fourth to make it 10-3. Scott Sheldon homered off Danny M ota in Rangers. the ninth. Palmeiro was pinch hit for in - ?he sixth inning and will sit out tom orrow 's game at the Metrodome. He will be looking to hit homer No. 400 at home Friday against Anaheim. "T hat's the plan," Palmeiro said. Spirited American women finish fourth in gymnastics GYMNASTS, from 9 Khorkina had the waterworks going again Tuesday night. With China holding a slim lead, Anna Tchepeleva got the Russians off to a less-than-rousing start, stepping out of bounds. By the time Khorkina took the floor, she needed a 9.992 for the Russians to win. She didn't get it, earning a 9.787, the Romanians into a frenzy of cheers and hugs. sending The U.S. women, meanwhile, politely clapped and filed out of the arena. This is the first time since 1988 that the American women have failed to medal in the team competi­ tion. But after being left for dead last fall _ their second last-place finish in the medals round at worlds — the United States has come a long way. "The girls did what they could," coach Kelli Hill said. "W e had nowhere to go but up. So we decid­ ed to have some fun." So lifeless during the preliminar­ ies Sunday, the Americans looked like they got personality transplants in the last few days. Either that or a good tongue-lash­ ing from Karolyi. "D on't ask m e," Karolyi said. "You won't write it down." Whatever it was, it worked. The Americans were so lively they were almost rowdy. They huddled after each event, breaking with a chant of "U -S-A !" They and screamed for each other, showing spirit the team didn't even have in 19%. clapped National champ Elise Ray was the head cheerleader, waving a tiny American flag at the fans as the team went to the floor exercise, its last rotation. She was a bundle of energy the rest of the night, too. Gripping the Cookie Monster good-luck charm she shares with Dominique Dawes so hard its little eyes bugged out even further, Ray paced like Karolyi does when he's on the floor. When Jamie Dantzscher finished her elegant, high-flying bars rou­ tine, sticking her landing so hard it sent her ponytailing bobbing up and down, Ray greeted her with "Whoa, baby!" as she came off the podium. Though he was sitting about 20 rows off the floor, Karolyi was giv­ ing his trademark energy through osmosis or ESP or something. He fidgeted. He muttered. He ripped off his glasses so many times the frames must be bent out of shape. Anytime he saw something he liked, he had to restrain himself from jumping out of his seat. And that happened pretty often. The Americans' spirit on the floor was as impressive as their exuber­ ance off of it. During the preliminar­ ies, they had looked wooden on the floor exercise, showing no expres­ sion whatsoever. On Tuesday night, they pranced. They played. They even flirted. routine, through her Midway Dantzscher raised her eyebrows at the judges and gave a look that bor­ dered on sexy. When she finished, she pointed her finger at the panel playfully. The new, improved Americans were a big hit with the judges. Dantzscher scored a 9.712. Strutting through a jazzy version of "Putting on the Ritz," Kristen Maloney earned a 9.737. "Attitude. It was attitude," Karolyi said. "There was no techni­ cal difference between the first and second night. There were some bet­ ter preformances, obviously, but attitude was the difference."

LOUIS — The Houston Astros haven't relinquished their NL Central title yet. Chris Truby hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning as the Astros, who have won the Central the last three years, kept the St. Louis Cardinals from clinching the division outright with an 8-6 victory Tuesday night. The Cardinals' seven-game winning streak ended. Plans to show second-place Cincinnati's game later at San Francisco on the scoreboard were scrapped. Busch Stadium was empty when the Reds lost 7-3 to reduce the Cardinals' magic num ber to one — clinching at least a tie for the division title for St. Louis. "I don't take any satisfaction in stopping them from winning tonight because they're going to win it anyway," Astros manager Larry Dierker said. "I do take satisfaction in coming from behind to win a game against anyone." "It's almost better," said St. Louis closer Dave Veres, o _____ II who gave a game-tying RBI double to Jeff Bagwell with two outs in the ninth. "It's not better blowing a game, but tomorrow we can do it on the field, maybe. Truby's throwing error at third base helped the Cardinals take a 5-4 lead in the eighth. Down 8-5, the Cardinals rallied in the 10th as Craig Paquette hit an RBI double off Octavio Dotel (3-5). Jose Cabrera relieved with the bases loaded and retired Mike Matheny on a fly ball for his second save. "I got it off the end of the bat a little," Matheny said. " d o s e doesn't count." The Cardinals are seeking their first division title since 19% . A crowd of 39,155 was the Cardinals' 33rd sellout, tying the club record set in 1988. The fans cleared out quickly, however, after Truby's homer. Richard Hidalgo hit his 40th home run for Houston. He joined Bagwell (44) as the only 40-homer duo in franchise . . . . history.

Veres struck out Truby with two men on for the last out in the eighth, but gave up Bagwell's tying double in the ninth.

Two errors by the Astros to open the eighth gave the Cardinals runners on second and third. Jim Edmonds reached on second baseman Bill Spiers' bad throw and Truby then threw wildly to second in a force attempt on Clark, who was almost scratched before the game due to flu-like symptoms, had a two-run single off Wade Miller in the first as the Cardinals took a 3-1 lead. Clark was replaced at first base by Paquette after three innings. "It's not injury, it's illness," manager Tony La Russa said. "Hopefully, it's 24-hour stuff and he'll be back." Hidalgo had an RBI single in the first and homered with one out in the third to cut the gap to 3-2. Lankford hit his 24th homer leading off the fourth for the Cardinals. Cardinals starter Pat Hentgen allowed three runs on 10 hits in seven innings with five strikeouts and two walks. Miller, who had won three of his previous four starts, last­ ed six innings and gave up three earned runs on six hits. TEXAS FOOTBALL NOTES WHO’S THE MAN?

ENDORSEMENT Tiger to bring in $54M a year from ads By The Associated Press The total purse on the PGA Tour the year Tiger Woods turned pro w as $69.1 million. It m ight not be too long before he makes that m uch in a year, on and off the golf course. Once his new five-year contract w ith Nike Inc. takes effect next A ugust, Woods will bring in about $54 million each year from endorse­ m ent deals he haS with 11 companies, accord­ ing to this w eek's issue of Golf World. The m agazine cited a variety of sources fam iliar w ith the contracts, which range from the $100-million deal Woods signed Friday w ith Nike to a five-year, $10-million deal with the com pany that perform ed Lasik eye surgery on Woods a year ago. On the course, Woods already has earned close to $8.3 m illion this year w ith three to u r­ nam ents still to play. He receives a reported $1-million appearance fee when he plays over­ seas, such as the Johnnie Walker Classic in Thailand, and he also plays the unofficial G rand Slam of Golf and his ow n Williams World Challenge. While Woods grew up in a m iddle-class home, such fiches are nothing new since he turned pro in 1996, and signed a five-year, $40 million deal w ith Nike. Since then, he has won 24 times on the PGA Tour, including the career G rand Slam. "M oney has never been im portant to Tiger," his father, Earl Woods, told The Associated Press. "If it was, Tiger w ould have about five times, or maybe seven times, as m any endorse­ m ent dollars as he does have. H e'd be a hell of a lot richer. Obviously, it w ould curtail his developm ent and affect his perform ance." Money h asn 't done m uch to change Woods, w ho has raised the standards in golf. He became the first player since 1953 to w in three straight majors, and already at age 24 has enough tour victories to achieve a lifetime exem ption. "Probably the single m ost thing I adm ire about Tiger Woods is he can sign a $100-mil- lion deal today, and wake up tom orrow with the same desire to be the best in the w orld," H al Sutton said M onday when told of the new Nike contract. According to Golf World, W oods' biggest deals after that w ith Nike are w ith Buick, EA Sports and Asahi Beverages, each w orth about $30 m illion over five years. He also has a five- year deal w ith Am erican Express that the m ag­ azine said was w orth $26 million. Perhaps the greatest exam ple of Woods' endorsem ent pow er is the deal w ith TLC Laser Eye Centers, w hich he signed in February. Mike Biggs Among the first golfers to have the Lasik surgery were Fred Funk and form er PGA cham pion M ark Brooks. Sports of Entertainm ent, w hich represents Brooks, once said he approached the com pany w ith the idea of a "TLC team " on the PGA Tour. The players involved would not have had such a high pro­ file as Woods, and the proposal was not near­ ly as lucrative. G aylord "We w ere told ... they had just turned a prof­ it and could not justify spending endorsem ent m oney on a golfer," Biggs said. "Six m onths later, w e start hearing rum ors about Tiger reaching a seven-figure deal w ith TLC.” Woods gives TLC nothing m ore than a testi­ m onial about his experience w ith Lasik. Told that Woods was getting $2 m illion for next to nil, a source in the W oods' cam p speaking on condition of anonym ity said, "Actually, it's closer to nil. If it were next to nil, it probably w ould have been more." W here does the m oney go? Earl Woods said his son p u ts the money earned from tournam ents into a fund to build a house in O rlando, Fla. Some of the endorse­ the Tiger Woods to m ent m oney goes Foundation, w hich w as created to provide more m inority participation in golf. "M any..people w ant Tiger to design golf courses or take over joint-capital ventures," his father said. "H e doesn't need inherited problem s. N othing comes between Tiger and w hat he is supposed to be doing." As for the am ount of m oney Woods will be m aking, his father saw no problem w ith that. "A ctors and actresses routinely m ake as m uch m oney or more by virtue of having a m inim al talent of the ability to act, or play gui­ tar and scream over a m icrophone w ith no trained voice," Earl Woods said. It s because they're entertainers." Tiger Woods just signed a deal with Nike that ups his ad earnings to $54 mil­ lion a year. His previous contract with Nike paid him $8 million a year. After barely escaping Tennessee with a controversial win, Florida coach Spurrier tells team, shut up and play By The Associated Press GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The only trash talk coming out of Florida this week will come from coach Steve Spurrier. And most of that is going to be directed at his own players. Despite a comeback victory over Tennessee that kept the third-ranked Gators in contention for a national cham pionship, Spurrier ripped into his team for spending too much time talking and not enough attention on fixing mistakes. His m essage Tuesday: Shut up and play. He suspended freshm an receiver Jabar Gaffney for the first half of S atu rd ay 's gam e against Kentucky for m aking a throat-slash gesture at the Tennessee bench after his gam e-w inning touch­ dow n catch. And he issued a gag order on the G ators' other top players. "We all think they can handle publicity, but his­ torically around here, we d o n 't handle it very well, he said. "It happens over and over and over. We've got to stay on their butts, knock them down, because they cannot handle praise." The prim ary victim was Alex Brown, who last week said the Vols' young offensive line was in for a long game and that his five-sack perform ance from a year ago could get bigger. Brown was never a factor, w ith one solo tackle and no sacks. "He had too much attention last week, way too much," Spurrier said. "All you have to do is read the stats to see how he did." Also m issing was Jesse Palmer, w ho directed the 91-yard scoring drive in the final tw o m inutes and zipped a perfect strike to Gaffney, w ho held on long enough for it to be ruled a touchdow n in a 27-23 vic- tory. Palmer was nam ed SEC offensive player of the later, he was week on M onday. A few hours scratched from the interview list. , , , "Jesse is off limits because 1 don t w ant him to get all the praise," Spurrier said. "Sometimes, media the players. attention Hopefully, he'll still be hungry to try to improve upon his play ” just does no good for Palmer was battling to keep his starting job after getting replaced by freshm an Rex G rossm an in a blowout of M iddle Tennessee State. Before more than 108,000 fans in Knoxville, he threw for 290 yards and directed one of the m ost pressure-packed drives of the Spurrier era. Asked w hether Palm er could use that perform ­ ance as a springboard for the rest of the year, Spurrier put a stop to such thinking. "We've had a big problem around here talking about how good people are," he said. "We don't need to do that. We just need to say they have a chance to be pretty good. I know every one of you are going to do a big article on him. 1 hope he does­ n 't read it." It w asn't a blanket gag order. On Tuesday, he sent the kickers and two backups on defense to meet with reporters. All the players were reluctant to go after the tongue-lashing Spurrier gave them. "He said we were way too overconfident and gave Tennessee some bulletin-board m aterial" said Jeff Chandler, who m ade both of his field-goal attem pts. The Gators have alw ays had a sw agger to them, especially w hen they were w inning SEC titles with regularity during the first six years of Spurrier s regime. But it's nothing like he remem bers when he was a Heism an Trophy w inner in 1966. "If you beat som ebody 55-10 and don t get too excited about it, that's a nice kind of swagger, he said. "W hen guys talk about k all the time, that s not good. Hopefully, our guys will let the other people do the talking, and let our play speak for itself." Talking was only p art of w hat disturbed Spurrier, who conceded this w as the least excited he has ever been following a victory over Tennessee. The Gators missed countless tackles as Travis Henry bounced along for 175 yards. Spurrier count­ ed. at least nine passes that were dropped. And he felt the Vols outplayed Florida for the first time since 1992. "W e've got to realize the other team played with more effort, more want-to," he said. "You always say the team that w ants it the most usually w ins the game. They w anted it more, but we w on the game, a rare occasion when that happens. "W e're going to try our best not to p ut ourselves in that position." Braves torch Mets, 12-4 Atlanta extends N.L East lead to five games over New York behind Ashby, Lopez and 7-run second inning By The Associated Press ATLANTA — The A tlanta Braves m ade it look easy, again. This time it was the pitching of Andy Ashby and a s e a s o n - h ig h seven-run second inning. Javy Lopez tripled, singled and drove in three runs during the big inning as the Braves beat the Mets 12- 4 Tuesday night, continuing their dom ination at Turner Field over New York. Given a big lead, Ashby (11-12) pitched the Braves to their 20th win in the last 22 gam es against the Mets at home. The Braves won their fourth in a row overall and expanded their lead over the Mets in the NL East to five games w ith 11 games left, their largest since Aug. 1 when it w as 5 1 /2 games. "Good pitching and good hitting, said Atlanta third basem an C hipper Jones of A tlanta s success against the Mets. "O ur starting pitching has been fantastic, but 1 m .not taking anything for granted. The Mets are a very good team," he said. "I certainly like our chances i we go six gam es up w ith 10 to go, but until the magic num ber is zero, I'm not counting them out. Said Braves m anager Bobby Cox: "I d o n 't have any theories. I have no clue. I w o u ld n 't even know about it if one of you guys h ad n 't told me." The Mets lost their third consecutive game. They began the day w ith a five-gam e lead over Arizona, which played at Los Angeles, in the wild card race. ^ "It w asn't very devastating. I'm not dem oralized, Mets m anager Bobby Valentine said. I m not frus­ trated. If you have a better w ord, throw it out. I'm u angry." The Mets, who held a one-half game lead over the Braves entering September, are only 6-12 this m onth while A tlanta has gone 11-6. "I just h av e n 't p re p are d them to play," said Valentine. "W e're a good team . We just h av e n 't played well recently. We have to play better the next 11 games." Ashby w on his third straight start. The right-han­ der allowed five hits and one unearned run in seven innings. He walked none and struck out six. • , , Ashby is 7-5 w ith the Braves after being obtained in a trade with Philadelphia on July 12. He shut out the Mets 1-0 on a four-hitter in his only other start against New York on July 23. "It feels great to be a part of this whole thing," he said. "These guys have been going out and w inning for a long time." The Braves beat the Mets 6-3 M onday night in the three-gam e series behind Greg opener of M addux, w ho ran his scoreless streak to 29 inning by blanking N ew York over seven innings. the The Braves are 6-3 head-to-head w ith the Mets this season and 4-1 at Turner w ith one game rem aining in Atlanta on W ednesday night. The team s play three times next week in New York. G lendon Rusch (10-11) m anaged to last only 1 2 /3 innings as the Braves got to the left-hander for five hits and six runs — two earned — in his brief outing, w hich was aided by an error by third basem an Robin Ventura on a grounder by Ashby. A ndres G alarraga opened the second inning w ith a double and Lopez tripled him hom e. Reggie Sanders followed w ith an RBI double and stole third before Walt Weiss grounded. But A shby's bouncer to Ventura was m isplayed for an error, scoring Sanders. With two outs, A ndruw Jones w alked and C hipper Jones, who w ent 3-for-3 w ith a w alk and a sacrifice fly, hit an RBI single. C hipper Jones is hitting .500 (12-for-24) against the Mets this season. Brian Jordan drew a w alk from reliever Pat M ahomes, loading the bases. G alarraga also walked, forcing hom e a run, and Lopez followed w ith a two- run single to cap the seven-run inning. G alarraga added a sacrifice fly in the fourth and Rafael Furcal hit a solo hom e run — his third — in the sixth. A ndruw Jones drove in two runs w ith a double and C hipper Jones added a sacrifice fly in a three-run seventh for the Braves. The M ets scored off Ashby on Timoniel Perez's RBI single in the fifth. Todd P ratt had an RBI single in a three-run eighth. to The Daily Texan is now accepting applications for FALL CLASSIFIED CLERK for Monday thru Friday 10am-1pm shift $7.00/hour Duties include taking voluntary ads by phone, filing, typing, coordinating projects, assisting sales and supervisory staff with clerical tasks.

Up the street a bit, tipsy exuberants wander a barscape of frozen drinks and plastic cups, raucous Cajun bands and their washboards rattle Preservation Hall's Dixieland jazz sweats its spirited path into the night. But not here. Not on this spot. This is a shadowy city w m er at midnight, a place where Bourbon Street and indul­ gent "evenings end. This is a place for the blues. The sidewalk musicians do not sing. But passing couples, lubricated and listing, know the words. A few add lyrics, and the ballad takes shape: a prostitute's dirge in a minor key, an old lament about a wayward girl. "There is a house in New Orleans ." "People come around that comer, from any country they know it," says Reid Netterville, the 34-year-old gui­ tarist who has played with saxophon­ ist Milton Martin for 11 years right at this intersection. "It's so deep in the heart of this culture." Not surpnsing. For New Orleans is the home of the House of the Rising Sun — the legend at least, and maybe — once, long ago — the reality. The song that launched the myth of a brothel where Southern girls met ruinous ends is known by all in New Orleans, though there is little indica­ tion it onginated here. It probably arose from the city's 19th-century rep­ utation as the Mississippi Delta's hub of vice and cons. The city's Storyville section was indeed notorious for its ample, open offerings of female flesh for sale. Madams used monikers like Gypsy Schaefer and Countess Willie Piazza, and in-house piano players called "professors" set sins to song. More than that, though, this is a per­ fect locale for a song that has crossed genres with glee. For New Orleans, like the song itself, is a cultural, racial gumbo — a Creole city w'here races and cultures and traditions mingled to form something entirely new'. Ragtime rose to prominence here, and of course Dixieland Jazz owes its origins to the Crescent City. Traces of that musical past are hid­ ing in plain sight here, everywhere you look. In the old U.S. Mint up at the Quarter's northern edge, you can walk the historv of New Orleans music from The Animals made “House of the Rising It was the biggest hit in the 1960s rock the brass band and the Negro spiritual through Jelly Roll Morton right up to jazz posters of modem Dixieland bands from Zimbabwe and Zurich. What's more, there actually is a house in New' Orleans they call the Rising Sun. But it's not a brothel; it's a bed and breakfast mn by Kevin and Wendy Herridge, Bnt and Louisianan respectively, who love the legend and have collected more than 40 versions of the song. Their hostel features ample brothela- bilia. "Street girls bringing in sailors must pay for room in advance," advis­ es one old sign. Admonishes another: "Ladies — kindly do your soliciting discreetly" An entire bedroom is adorned as if it were an Asian prosti­ tute's, well, office. Herridge pulls out a guidebook to "Offbeat New' Orleans," which asserts that the real House of the Rising Sun was at 826-830 St. Louis St. between 1862 and 1874, and purportedly named for its madam, Marianne LeSoleil Levant, whose surname in translation w'ould mean "The Rising Sun." "Pack of lies," Herridge scoffs. Eric Burdon isn't so sure.

Orleans often — and wonders what people here think of him for turning their city into a prostitute's legend. "They're trying to build up tourism, and here's this Brit singing about a whorehouse," he says, chuckling. When he visits, everyone has a story — a notion about where the "real house is or was. "People would come up to me and say, 'You w'ant to know' where the real House of the Rising Sun is?' And I'd say, 'I've heard that one before/" he says. "Then I started going along for the ride." "I'd go to women's pnsons, coke dealers' houses, insane asylums, men's prisons, private parties. They just wanted to get me there." But the St. Louis Street building — well, let's just say Burdon connected with it at once when the ow ner invited him over She made him sing "House of the Rising Sun" a capella for 40 min­ utes, he jokes. "What can I tell you?" he says. "The house was talking to me." Was there ever really a House of the Rising Sun? No one can say for sure. But in the end, it matters little. Because in the universe of music, in the world of Eric Burdon and a New Orleans French Quarter happy to latch onto any exuberant myth, the legend itself may well be enough.

We were getting tired of try­ ing to make records for other people, as it were. It was just a conscious effort to please ourselves. We made sure that we thought and that the record com pany thought we had sin­ gles. I guess that infected the w hole lot," he said. N ot only did The Catherine W heel take on a new record label for their old one, but they also took on a new bass player. Replacing Dave H aw es, Ben come has E llis onboard and thor­ oughly im pressed the band. PHOTO COURTESY OF COLUMBIA RECORDS The Catherine Wheel released Wishville this summer, their first album under a new deal with Sony Music. "W e spent a week going through the most unbelievably bad bass players. You couldn't call them bass players, none of them. They were people who owned bass gui­ tars," Futter said. "Ben fitted in straight away, personality-wise. H e won hands down, really." H aving a younger member in the band has lightened the mood considerably w ith in the group, especially on tour. "W hen we started, I thought the whole thing was a big, bloody joke. I couldn't really take it seri­ ously. Everyone loved our first record. It was like, 'This is bloody easy.' As time goes by, it gets more and more difficult to find the right music that satisfies," Futter said. "W e 've learned to exist w ith each other. W hen we first started, we were at each other's throats. W e've had to learn to accept every­ one's foibles. Relieving stress at the moment is very easy because w e've got a wide-eyed 24-year- old," he said, of Ben's addition to the band. life "W e 're through him at the moment and watching his shock at playing to all these people and going to these different countries. It's fantastic, he's like the center of entertain­ ment. That relieves a lot of stress and amuses us immensely." livin g A ll of their previous albums were infused w ith Pin k Floyd influences and epic rock sounds. Wishville is a solid piece of hard rocking pop, the kind’ of album that w ould be a huge sensation in Am erica if it could only get the right amount of radio airplay. Even though this new album isn't as full of art-rock styles as their past work, the band did keep one aspect of their history very much intact: the cover art. The band has used the art direction of the most famous cover artist in today's m usic business, Storm Thorgerson. Dedicated to preserving the age when album covers were as mind- blow ing — and in some cases, more so — as the music on the album. Thorgerson is most com­ m only known as the man behind some of rock's most famous cov­ ers, including: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Momentary Lapse of Reason, as w ell as Led Zep p elin 's Houses of the Holy. Thorgerson's relationship w ith the band has been a successful one and it continues w ith the stunning art on Wishville. "H e gets in volved extrem ely early. He gets all the demos and then he starts picking lyrics out and grilling Rob and grilling me about what all these things mean," Futter said. "Then he starts putting the images together and presents us w ith this massive portfolio of ideas. We usually choose the one that he likes the best. It develops along w ith the m usic and the lyrics. It's not like, 'O h m y God, w e've got a record, w e've got to find a record cover.' I f s there and on level pegging w ith the music every step of the w ay." Trying to forge ahead w ith a sound that is so dense and complex can be daunting. The heavenly atmospheres filling The Catherine W h eel's albums are leaps and bounds ahead of the typical rock fare out there today. "It's like music to the lowest common denominator, it's very tough to take in," Futter said of the huge pop movement in the U.S. "B u t you know, it's the w ay it goes. I'm sure this stuff w ill come and 8 ° " Futter does admit an affinity for a certain group of California pop- punk rockers. "I'm a terrible fan of Blink-182, I must say. I really think they're on the ball, those three guys," he said. W hile the movement that helped them gain a fanbase may have died in the years they've been together, there is still a hardworking spirit w ithin the w alls of The Catherine W h eel's m usical home. Their albums, from Ferment to Wishville, sound like a band in love w ith a sense of danger. It's an almost vio­ lent beauty, the kind of thing rock 'n ' roll is all about. "The thing I love is the intensity of some parts of the music. And they don't have to be loud, they can be extremely quiet. Sometimes I think we're a bit too fucking seri­ ous. W e're not really, it just reflects the w ay we are," Futter said, laugh­ ing yet again. "W e can be really hum orous people,, but there's a very dark side beyond all of us." The Catherine Wheel Is support­ ing The Smashing Pumpkins on a UK tour. If you happen to be In Europe this fall, you can catch these two bands In Glasgow on Oct. 30, Manchester on Oct. 31, Birmingham on Nov. 1 and London on Nov. 3 & 4.

M ad Professor opened the set w ith the help of Perry's band- mates w hile the eccentric artist made a separate entrance. People who were congregating in the path of said entrance were asked to move and a microphone chord was stretched back to Perry. H is entrance actually consisted of him walking quite plainly to the stage. But his ensemble was any­ thing but plain. From his reflective hat that sported CDs and assorted shiny objects which he alternated w ith a plastic gold crown, to his velvet red cape w ith faux cow trim, Perry brought smiles to the faces of the crowd instantly when he stepped arrived on the stage. H e even donned a custom microphone decorated w ith keys and other objects. H is voice remained a little soft-spoken, but he shared his view s on the legal­ ization of m arijuana and the im portance of unity w ith the packed house of reggae enthusi­ asts that waited for at least an hour between the opening act and his arrival. Mad Professor was stationed in the back of the club armed with only bright yellow glasses w ith a pen-size light attached to the side and his ow n mad skills. The Professor was particularly talent­ ed at m anipulating Perry's voice and adding his own touches to the sound making highly danceable dub and reggae beats. Meanwhile, Perry proved that he practices what he preaches in terms of his adoration and advoca­ tion of pot when he sparked a joint and held it in the air asking every­ one to in chanting "hem p," which elicited the largest response from the crowd. join him Lee "Scratch" Perry and Mad Professor put on the kind of show that only veterans could manage, one that was full humorous vin ­ tage reggae that still speaks to the masses today. Blue October gives exciting ‘Treatment’ Consent To ^ Treatment ™Ps By: Blue October Label: Universal Records By Henry Gayden Daily Texan Staff Odds are, you've never heard Blue October before, and yet, due to the entertainm ent industry's intim ate relationship w ith déjá vu, you probably have in one form or another. The pattern of artists, who echo other popular artists, who in turn echo even more popular artists goes back to the beginning of, w ell, popular music. The d rill is by now fam iliar: Creed sounds like a post-epiphanic Matchbox Tw enty; Tw enty M atchbox sounds like a prozac-induced A lice in Chains. And A lice in Chains sound like Soundgarden through and and Pearl through. Jam Thankfully though, w hile still pilphering from a handful of pop­ ular bands, Blue October's major label debut, Consent to Treatment, sounds like a m eticulous inter­ m ingling of the distinctive ele­ ments that distinguished some of 4580316 5501N. Lam a r Open 7 Oats A Week wwwMeuch IMecom com F r e e P a g e r s the best band of the 1990s. Shades of an Achtung-era U2 seep through the alternately easy­ going and hard-hitting sounds of tracks "In d ep en d ently H ap p y" and "Balance Beam ." like A d d itio nally, follow ing Boyd Tinsley from The Dave Matthews Band, Blue October vio lin ist, Ryan Delahousaye, incorporates his instrum ent into nearly every song on the album . H ow ever, whereas frequently breaks aw ay from the song to solo, Delahousaye subtly m ain­ tains the harm ony in the back­ ground, alm ost enough for no one to notice unless they were lis­ tening for it. Tinsley And Ju stin though Furstenfeld's vocals may in itially remind one of Pearl Jam and all its offspring listed above, the lead singer proves to have a much more range than expected. A t once snarling in maddened frus­ tration, as it is "Jam es," then soothingly sweet in other tracks like "The Answ er," Furstenfeld's acrobatic voice fluctuates to such heart-felt extremes that his refreshing yet occasionally clum ­ sy like ly rics Shakespeare. come off Blue October may, for the most part, be a product of modern hard rock, but they're certainly one of its better products.

Just last week, a ka ng ar oo s ma she d through a in northern f a m il y 's front Australia and terrorized it for three hours before being s ubd u ed. d o o r Then there w a s the discovery, years ago, that nylon protected flesh from box jellyfish stingers. Legions of beach fishermen, learning this, w a d ed into the waters clad in pantyhose. Not pr et­ ty, but effective. Aus si e s point out that’ America has vicious critters, too, like bears and wol ves and coyotes. But at least they'll growl or snarl while they tear you apart.

She fights a lot of ¡ battles that we as non-parents don't face. ; She's missing a lot of those precious * moments." ¡ Those battles started a long time ago. ¡ A high school wonder in Chicago, J Griffith signed at Iowa, where Vivian Z Stringer had built a national power. * *Though she wasn't eligible to compete as \ a freshman, Griffith was young, eager and J talented.

"1 never wanted any- ; thing to be given to me. I want to earn f things. I just felt that if I would continue to work hard, do what I need to do on the court, be respectful off the court, that » things would happen. And eventually, I things did happen." * But only after a rocky journey that * would have forced someone less deten j mined to turn bade Griffith counts herself j lucky, too, though this is a case of someone v making their hick.

Pope had asked to be freed from jail so that he could undergo treatment for cancer. But the M oscow city court ruled that the esp ionage charge was too seri­ ous to merit freeing him. He w ill remain in custody, the court's secretary said. "The judicial authorities have d ecid ­ ed they'll observe the letter of the law, w ithout paying attention to the spirit of the law," said Pavel Astakhov, Pope's lawyer. According to his family, Pope has a rare form of bone cancer that was in rem ission w hen he w as arrested. They argue that he can't get adequate m ed­ ical attention in jail. A stakhov said h is clien t need ed E nglish -speakin g doctors. And Pope him self said that he needed cancer sp e­ cialists. "I need proper care, I need som eone w ho's qualified and who understands the type of cancer that I've been threat­ ened by," he said from the defendant's cage in the courtroom, where he stood to hear the court's ruling. Russia's Federal Security Service said that Pope was w ell enough to remain in custody. It said that cancer specialists had exam ined Pope on Thursday. "Nothing indicating that his disease is p rogressin g w as found," security service spokesm an Vasily Stavitsky said. But Pope, who had deep circles under his eyes, expressed worry. "The nature of my cancer, the longer we're here, the greater the danger of a problem," he said. "Morally, I m not very happy, of course, being here in this situation. It's taking a long time. It should not have occurred in the first place." The Federal Security Service arrested Pope on April 2, saying he had illegally bought plans for a high-speed torpedo. He faces 20 years in prison if convicted. Pope denies doing anything illegal, and the United States has called repeat­ edly for his release. His representative in the U.S. Congress, John Peterson, says Pope was seeking inform ation on an underwater propulsion system that is at least 10 years old and has already been sold abroad. Pope w orked the A pplied Research Laboratory at Pennsylvania State U niversity after retiring from the U.S. Navy. He later founded CERF Technologies International, a company specializing in studying foreign mar­ itime equipm ent. He frequently trav­ eled to Russia. for Human rights Editors ask for meeting with Putin in batde over media improve m Chechnya By The AModatod Preas MOSCOW— The hum an rights situation in Chechnya is slowly improving, a group of European parliamentary members said Tuesday, tempering their previous criticism of Russia's military campaign in Chechnya. The Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly delega­ tion, headed by Britain's Lord Judd, met Monday with Akhmad Kadyrov, Russia's civilian administrator in Chechnya, and visited a refugee camp in Znamenskoye vil­ lage. After returning Tuesday to Moscow, Judd said there had been some progress in the observance of hum an rights. However he did not elaborate, and he cautioned that it was "too early to make final conclusions." The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly in the past has sharply criticized the Russian military's human rights record in Chechnya, accusing federal forera of indis­ criminately attacking civilians. It suspended Russia's voting rights in the assembly this past spring. On Thursday, Judd's delegation will participate in hear­ in g on Chechnya in the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, and report on its visit to the Parliamentary Assembly on Sept. 28. In Chechnya, Russian helicopter gunships flew 40 com­ bat missions over the past 24 hours, the military said Tuesday. They attacked suspected rebel bases in the south­ e r n Vedeno region and Nozhai-Yurt district, near the eastern border with Dagestan, as well as in the southern Itum-Kale region, near the border with Georgia. Federal troops also fired artillery salvos at suspected guerrilla bases in Vedeno and Nozhai-Yurt, where the mili­ tary command said most of the rebels have been hiding out. Rebels ambushed a Border Guards unit in Itum-Kale overnight, and the ensuing fire fight lasted two hours, said a Russian government spokesman in the northern Chechen town of Gudermes. He said no casualties were reported. Russian forces rolled into Chechnya a year ago, after rebel raids on a neighboring region and four bomb blasts across Russia that killed 300 people. Russia blamed the blasts on Chechen rebels, though no one has been convicted.

The attack on an army truck took place just outside Trincomalee city, 140 miles northeast of the capital, Colombo. Rebels fired at the vehicle soon after the Claymore mine went off, killing som e of the soldiers ihjured in the explosion, police said.

The rebel push was repulsed suc­ cessfully by the military, said mili­ tary Sanath Karunaratne. He said troops inflict­ ed heavy casualties on the rebels, but did not give numbers. Soldiers repulsed a similar push on Sunday, about seven hours after thev had captured Chavakachcheri, the second-largest town in the Jaffna Peninsula, six miles east of Jaffna city. Sunday's battle, in which the mili­ tary used jets and the rebels used mortar and artillery, left 111 combat­ ants dead on both sides, the govern­ ment said. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam have not made any comment on the latest battles. had The rebels seized Chavakachcheri from the military during a major offensive in April and May. Meanwhile, 45 rebel bodies the army recovered from the battlefield after Sunday's fighting are to be handed over to the militants through the International Committee of the Red Cross, Brig.

In South Carolina, an estimated 8 to 10 inches of rain fell at M cClellanville, near the coast about 30 m iles northeast of "U nfortunately, the area that got the worst rain got heavy rains just two weeks ago," said Kevin Woodworth, a m eteorologist at the National Weather Service in Charleston. Florida water officials doubted G ordon's up to 4 inches of rain w ould do much to relieve the drought that has plagued much of that state. In Georgia, cotton and peanut farm ers were less con­ cerned about drought relief than with wet crops in the m iddle of the harvest. The storm left 2 feet of water in the parking lot of the Inlet Square Mall south of Myrtle Beach and some vehicles were moved by the high water, the National Weather in W ilmington, N.C., Service reported. There w as scattered street flooding elsewhere in the area. Residents around City Hall in Georgetown, S.C., watched city workers being carried out of the building by boat and said they had never seen it so bad. "I've got two feet of water in my d ealersh ip ," said Francis "Je e p " Ford, owner of Parrish Motors, across the street from City Hall. "N ever had any water in it before at all." In Florida, dam age w as estim at­ ed at more than $1 m illion at Sanibel. One man w as in critical condition Tuesday in Jacksonville after a tree fell on his truck. Near Tampa, where this year's rainfall is about 20 inches below the average of 51 to 53 inches, Gordon left as much as 5 inches of rain. However, much of it did not seep into the ground. "Ju st a heavy rain is not going to do it by itself," said Michael M olligan, a spokesm an for the Southw est Water M anagement District. Florida Jacksonville, N.C., got 6.25 inches of rain and the town sent n onessentiaj em ployees home early.

Philippine court rules Marcos’ Swiss deposits should go to government By The Associated Press MANILA, Philippines — A Philippine court ruled Tuesday that nearly $627 million in Swiss bank deposits belonging to the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos should go to the gov­ ernment, saying he and his family could not have amassed that much money legally. If the government obtains the money, it would be the largest amount ever recovered from the billions of dollars Marcos and his wife Imelda are alleged to have amassed during his 20 years in power. "The basis of this decision is that the amount was grossly disproportionate to the salaries of the Marcos couple during the period of their incumbencies," said Justice Catalino Castaneda Jr. of the -a anti-graft Sandiganbayan court. /-i i Therefore "there is prima fade pre­ sumption that that was unlawfully acquired," Castaneda said. Although the presumption can be disputed, the Marcos family did not present evidence that the funds were legally acquired and even said the money didn't belong to Marcos, Castaneda said. "Judgment is hereby granted in favor of the Republic of the Philippines and against respondents, dedaring the Swiss deposits... forfeited in favor of the state," the ruling said. Marcos served as president from 1966 until he was ousted in a popular revolt in February 1986. He and his family were driven into exile in Hawaii, where he died three years later without admit­ ting any wrongdoing. fin a am ; w mncrrloinff. The court determined that the com­ bined salaries of Marcos and his wife, who served as governor of metropoli­ tan Manila and as minister of human settlements, were equivalent to only $304300 over the 20-year period. The Swiss bank deposits amounted to about $356 million when they were discovered shortly after Marcos was toppled. Interest payments have increased that to about $627 million. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court has ruled that the money can be released to the Philippine government if Imelda Marcos is convicted of criminal wrongdoing in connection with the deposits, and if victims of human rights violations during Marcos administra­ tion are compensated.

That’s why Heidi is so important to our future. As the daughter of an engineer, Heidi grew up in the Ford family. From day one, she knew about our commit­ ment to automobiles. She didn’t know that our commitment to the environment was just as impressive. The fact is, Heidi’s environmental goals and ours are one in the same. Through the Ford College Internship Program, Heidi had the opportunity to experience our environmental protection efforts first-hand. From closing underground storage tanks to taking our waste minimization efforts to new levels, her ideas made a real impact. As it turns out, her internship was just the beginning. Since joining the company full-time in 1998, Heidi has coordinated important environmental projects with a team of engineers - including the restoration of local waterways. Today she serves as the environmental contact for seven assembly plants and four other facilities located in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Thanks to people like Heidi, we’re working smarter and safer than ever before. Where will your ideas take us?

Researchers: New vaccine to be effective By The Associated Press T O R O N T O — A vacd ne has been shown for the first ’ tim e to protect against life-threatening staph infections, '- a m ajor hazard among hospital patients, researchers •' said Tuesday. - The genetically engineered vaccine w as tested first m kidney dialysis patients, and it cut their risk of staph • blood poisoning in half for nearly a year. " I am quite encouraged by this. It could be a major breakthrough in this area," said Dr. Steve Black of the • Kaiser Perm anente Vaccine Stud y Center in Oakland, C alif. Black presented the results in a last-minute addition , to the program of the annual infectious disease meeting ■' 'o f the Am erican Society for M icrobiology. The vaccine, called StaphVAX, was created at the ‘N ational Institutes of H ealth and is being developed by N abi Corp. of Boca Raton, Fla., w hich financed the latest '' study. ’ Staphylococcus aureus is a common and ordinarily '^harmless inhabitant of the hum an nasal tract.

The vaccine appeared to quickly low er the risk of staph. A fter 10 months, there were 11 serious infections among those getting the vaccine, compared w ith 26 in the unprotected group, a 57 percent reduction. The vaccine triggers the body to make fresh antibod­ ies against staph. A fter one year, the patients antibody levels dropped, and their protection against staph began to fade. patients. Dr. Ju lie Gerberding, head of hospital infections at the U .S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, noted that staph is an especially difficult problem for dialysis . " If you can get this much protection in them, it might w ork even better in other patients," she said. Staph infections are of particular concern because the bacteria is growing im m une to the antibiotics common­ ly used to treat it. H a lf of all staph that circulates in hos­ pitals is resistant to m ethicillin, the standard drug. N ow it is developing resistance to vancom ycin, the main backup drug.

Atlantis crew packing up By The Associated Press H O U STO N — Near the end of a jam-packed 12-day mis­ sion to outfit the expanding international space station, the crew of space shuttle Atlantis closed up their spacecraft Tuesday for a planned return home. Atlantis and its seven-man crew w ill have two shots to ‘ land at Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday, both coming before daybreak. The orbiter has enough fuel to stay up for two extra days if needed. Mission managers decided not to call up Edwards A ir ’ Force Base as a backup landing site, given the favorable weather forecast for Cape Canaveral. "The possibility of rain showers in the area is the only thing we have to w orry about," entry flight director Wayne Hale said, adding that rain was expected to be well east of the landing site for both attempts. During their orbital ride, Atlantis's crew outfitted and equipped the space station, slated to get its first permanent resident crew in just six weeks. for Wednesday landing Atlantis' team focused most of their attention on the new Russian service module Zvezda, the station s living quarters which arrived in July, and on storing more than 6,OCX) pounds of supplies for the station's crew. They also installed the toi­ let, oxygen generator and treadmill inside Zvezda, and com­ pleted more than their assigned share of work. "We started with 52 items on our to-do list and wound up doing 74 aboard the station," Hale said. The only glitch encountered by the crew was a recalcitrant battery, which refused to charge when they installed it. The Russian-made power cell is one of eight aboard Zvezda, which has more than enough power with seven working batteries. Russia's economic crisis had stalled Zvezda's construc­ tion, which in turn stalled space station assembly in orbit by more than two years. But now the pace picks up at what is a finger-snapping rate for the normally deliberate NASA. Eight space station construction flights are already on the books.
