Legislators speak out against fee

By Jennifer Mock
Daily Texan Staff

Several Texas legislators are disputing the 
legality of the infrastructure fee a little more than 
a week after it was approved by the UT System 
Board of Regents.

The initial words of dissent came from Sen. Jeff 
Wentworth, R-San Antonio, in January, as he 
sought an official opinion from Attorney General 
John Comyn on the University's ability to charge 
such a fee without the Legislature's approval.

Another round of debate about the fee started 
last week as a topic in the Joint Interim 
Committee on Higher Education Excellence 
Funding. Several members of the committee 
questioned Don Brown, the commissioner of the 
Higher Education Coordinating Board, and UT

President Larry Faulkner about the authority of 
the University to pass such a fee on its own.

Sen. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, co-chairman of 
theSenate committee, said the Texas Constitution 
designates the Permanent University Fund to 
provide funds for infrastructure needs of the 
University, and therefore does not allow the 
University to charge extra fees to students for 
such purposes.

"Our constitution designates the Permanent 
University Fund to build and repair the facilities 
at UT and Texas A&M," he said. "It is not intend­
ed to allow the University to levy a fee. It is clear­
ly set out in the Constitution, and that is not what 
the University of Texas is doing."

Brown defended the University's use of a 
changed education code, enacted in the last leg­

islative session, as authority for charging the fee 
without legislative approval.

However, it is unclear if a bill passed by the 
Legislature last spring, House Bill 658, a tuition 
revenue bond bill, changed the code that prevent­
ed the University from implementing an infra­
structure fee, said Rep. Robert Junell, D-San 
Angelo, co-chairman of the committee.

But, Junell, who authored HB 658, said his 
intent in changing the education code was not to 
allow the University to charge such a large fee to 
students.

The fee will cost students $150 per semester 
starting next fall and will increase incrementally 
over the next Six years. Additionally, students will 
pay $100 for seven or more hours combined for 
the summer sessions, and the fee will increase $30

per summer for six years.

Junell said that even if his bill's broad language 
gave the University more authority to levy a fee, 
he does not believe the Legislature intended to 
allow the University to charge students a fee that 
large without Senate and House approval.

"If anyone even cares what my opinion is, I 

believe they are wrong," he said.

Comyn has until July 18, a full 180 days from 
the filing of Wentworth's request for an opinion, 
to make a ruling on the legality of the fee.

However, Junell said if requested to do so, he 
would be willing to write a statement to Comyn 
saying it was not the intent of the Legislature to 
grant the University so much control over charg­
ing student fees.

Voices against Villas

Groups debate 
former mayor’s 
role in election

By Esther Wang
Daily Texan Staff

Former Austin Mayor Bruce Todd's involvement in the cam­
paigns of council members Daryl Slusher and and Jackie 
Goodman has some community members questioning the 
legality of his actions under Austin campaign finance law.

Slusher and Goodman each need to gather signatures from 
more than 18,000 registered Austin voters to run for their third 
consecutive council terms. And time is running out for the two 
candidates with the March 20 filing deadline only a few weeks 
away.

Slusher and Goodman each need about 5,000 more signa­
tures, and Todd has formed his own independent political 
action committee — Committee for Voter Choice — to help 
them reach their goals.

The committee will aid Slusher and Goodman in their ongo­
ing petition drives by paving people to gather signatures to the 
tune of $1 each. To defray that cost, Todd's PAC has received 
individual contributions in excess of $1,000, including $2,(XX) 
from the Austin Police Association and the Austin Fire 
Department PACs, with a goal of ultimately collecting $30,000.

Under Austin campaign finance law, groups and individuals 
are allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money — called an 
independent expenditure — on behalf of a candidate if they 
have no contact with that person's campaign. Direct contribu­
tions, however, are limited to $100.

Neighborhood association protests housing plan

Daily Texan Staff

N orth campus residents demon­

strated M onday against a 
developm ent w hich would 
provide high-density, upscale housing 
for 500 students.

The Villas on Guadalupe would con­
tain 150 units and 395 parking spaces 
in a 
tw o-acre area bounded by 
Guadalupe, 27th and 29th streets, and 
Hemphill Park. The project will replace 
a Blockbuster Video store, an office 
complex, vacant lots and an historic 
house which has already been moved 
from the area.

However, to proceed with the proj­
ect, developers must first secure a zon­
ing change of the area to a m ulti-fam i­
ly 6 zone.

Under M F-6 zoning, which has 
never before been applied in Austin, 
the height of a structure is limited, but 
not its density. Hundreds of residents 
can be crammed into a single area.

Representatives of 13 neighborhoods 
gathered on the steps of the Austin City 
Hall to oppose the project.

"I am deeply attached to the area, 
and I have spent many hundreds of 
hours trying to keep it vital," said Tish 
Williams, a representative of Heritage 
Neighborhood Association and a for­
mer resident of Hemphill Park. "This 
high-density housing will be very hard 
on the neighborhood. There are busi­
nesses which are already having trou­
ble because of a lack of parking and the

increase in traffic will be very hard."

Dan Zock, president of Phi Gamma 
Delta, which owns property adjacent to 
the site of the próposed villas, is also 
concerned. Like many residents, he is 
not opposed to new student housing, 
but to the density of the development.

"We are not opposed to a project 
going up on that property. We're 
opposed to this project because of its 
extremely high density," said Zock, an 
economics junior. "Trying to put over 
500 students into that one small area is 
in our opinion ridiculous. It would 
cause extensive traffic problems and 
congestion in the area."

STUDENT CANDIDATE ELECTIONS

Tickets work to fight 
voter apathy, improve 
student voting system

By Abdul Farukhl
Daily Texan Staff

today 

Voting starts 

for Student 
Government elections and other campus 
positions as candidates aim to increase 
the usual low student voter turnout.

Voting has hovered below 10 percent 
for the last 11 years. Last year, only 
3,847 of 49,9% students voted for SG 
president, the first choice on the ballot 
and the position used to track the 
amount of votes each election.

Student apathy and an inefficient vot­
ing system at the polls are the two chief 
reasons students don't vote, said repre­
sentatives from the four SG tickets.

"If we represent students better, we'll 
get them to come out to vote because 
they're going to pay attention to 
Student Government," said Nam Tran, 
a volunteer for the Athieve ticket.

depending on factors like Greek partic­
ipation or major issues that concern stu­
dents, said Nathan Brown, chairman of 
the Election Supervisory Board.

"Sometimes students take notice, but 
a lot of times students don't know the 
issues despite massive campaigning 
efforts," Brown said.

Students with busy schedules have 
difficulty staying informed, said Neel 
Naik, a undeclared business honors 
sophomore.

"I really don't know the difference 
between tickets," Naik said. "I would 
vote if I knew what the issues were."

For such students, campaigners 
increase visibility by standing in highly 
trafficked areas like Beauford H. Jester 
Center and the West Mall, said Michael 
Rigg, a government sophomore and

Phu Tran, Student Government Judicial Commission member, 
asks questions about the validity of an Election Supervisory Board 
decision regarding the financial disclosures of the One ticket.
Decision holds One ticket liable 
in financial disclosure dispute
By Austin Klnghorn
Daily Texan S taff

The Student Government Judicial Commission overturned 
an Election Supervisory Board ruling Monday, finding the O ne 
ticket guilty of failure to disclose financial expenditures.

After the commission announced its decision, the ESB w as 
forced to revote, reversing its original decision m ade 
Sunday. Although the One ticket was found guilty, it will not 
be punished.

The commission determined ESB's not guilty ruling con­
cerning One ticket T-shirt sales was illegitimate because of an 
advisory opinion drafted by ESB chairman Nathan Brown. The 
advisory opinion, which was not approved by the ESB through 
a vote, but was used to clarify the procedure of considering 
expenditures, was found invalid. The commission further con­
cluded the advisory opinion was used despite several members 
of the board disagreeing with portions of the opinion.

The Achieve ticket filed the first complaint of the campaign 
season last week against the One ticket for allegedly failing to 
disclose expenditures to the ESB, leading to the ESB hearing 
that addressed the financial disputes.

"According to Election Code 4.02, advisory opinions are 
issued by the ESB, not just the chair," said Phu Tran, commis­
sion chairwoman. "Nathan Brown admits that the advisory 
opinion issued was his own in his argument before the JC in 
the appeal hearing of Mackowiak vs. ESB and in the minutes 
in the ESB hearing of Mackowiak vs. Robnett et *1."

Court avoids biblical issue
WASHINGTON — Courts across America 

have reached different conclusions in emo­
tional Ten Commandments cases, some 
allowing government displays of the biblical 
list others barring it Only the Supreme Court 
can resolve the question, and it chose 
Monday to steer clear for now.

The court quietly turned down an appeal 
from Indiana Gov. Rank O'Bannon, who want­
ed a monument on state Capitol grounds.

The court’s action was a defeat for Indiana 

and other states that argued that the Ten 
Commandments are as much emblems of 
legal tradition as they are biblical teachings.

Candidate accused of treason
HARARE, Zimbabwe — Just days before 
the presidential vote, the main challenger to 
President Robert Mugabe was charged 
Monday with the capital offense of treason 
for allegedly plotting to assassinate the 
Zimbabwe leader.

Morgan Tsvangirai denied the allegations 
and pledged to continue campaigning for the 
March 9-10 elections, the most contentious 
since the country gained independence in 
1980.

“This whole thing is contrived to damage 

me politically. The timing is obvious,” 
Tsvangirai said.

Soldier killed while training
CARTHAGE, N.C. — In a deadly misunder­
standing, a deputy sheriff opened fire on two 
plainclothes Army soldiers who attacked him 
as part of a training exercise. One of the sol­
diers was killed, and the other is in serious 
condition. The soldiers thought the deputy 
sheriff was an actor in their role-playing exer­
cise, according to the account given by Moore 
County sheriffs officials.

The deadly mixup near Fort Bragg on 

Saturday has shaken Army officials, who plan 
to reexamine the training exercise, which they 
have been conducting for decades.

Early admission criticized
METUCHEN, N J . — By the start of his 
senior year last fall, William Hoffman knew 
his first choice was Harvard. Hoffman applied 
early last October. But months later, he still 
doesn’t know where he’ll go to college.

Critics, including Yale’s president, say early 

admission can force teenagers into prema­
ture decisions and gives unfair advantage to 
those with money and admissions knowhow. 
It also stretches the wait for people like 
Hoffman.

Faulkner: Regents 
can approve fee

FEE, from 1
Sen. Chris Harris , R-Arlington, said 
he was disappointed the University did 
not ask for clarification of the code 
before passing the fee.

"I am shocked that the University 
used that bill as authority and did not 
call [Rep. Junell] to ask what [his] inten­
tion was," he said.

In defense, Faulkner told the panel 
the University's attorneys have full con­
fidence the education code allows for 
the regents to solely approve the fee.

"I spoke with legal counsel, and it is 
their interpretation tliat we are proceed­

ing within the law so we are proceed­
ing," he said.

Brown said though the Coordinating 
Board has not rendered an opinion, he 
believes the Legislature did not intend 
to allow the University to act without 
legislative approval.

"My understanding was when die 
designated tuition bill passed in 1997 
there were caps established," he said. "If 
the position articulated by the University 
of Texas on the authority of the infra­
structure charge prevails, the result is the 
Legislature would have deregulated 
control over charges made to students 
because the wording is so broad."

D ifficulties 
lines at polls
ELECTIONS, from 1
volunteer for the One ticket.

"On election night, we're going to go 
around campus with volunteers and 
shuttle people to the polls to get people 
to vote," Rigg said.

An image of an ineffective SG keeps 

others from the polls.

"There's no reason to vote because 
Student Government doesn't really 
affect me," said Shawn Alverson, an 
engineering sophomore. "I equate it 
with student council in high school."

All tickets agree the voting system 
needs an overhaul. Students can vote 
over TEX, an automated telephone sys­
tem, which is set up at various campus 
locations. In the past, voting lines have 
posed problems.

"You're limited by the system. As it is, 
TEX can only handle a certain amount 
of calls and at each location in the build­
in g there are a certain number of phone

with TEX,
deter voters

lines," Brown said. "You're limited by 
the material logistics of the system. "

In addition, some students have 

never used TEX.

"I know a lot of people who don't 
know their TEX pin numbers. They 
have to go to the SSB and get their pin 
number. It's very inefficient," said 
Joeann Nguyen, a one-year at large can­
didate for the Action ticket and educa­
tion sophomore.

Elections are Feb. 26- 27 from 10 a.m. 
to 4 p.m. at many campus locations, with 
extended voting hours Tuesday from 
6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Undergraduate 
Library and Gregory Gym. Other cam­
pus voting locations include the Art

Petition could halt development

VILLAS, from 1
However, Mike McHone, a consult­
ant for Villas on Guadalupe Limited 
Partners, defended the project. He said 
that the development will have much 
less of an impact than any commercial 
or office development that could be 
built under the current zoning.

He added that housing students 
away from campus causes problems 
for the dty.

'It is ujcreasingly difficult to deliver 
students to campus. It causes pollution 
and it sprawls the city," he said. "I don't 
think there's a better place to build stu­
dent housing than adjacent to campus."
McHone said that although there 
will not be enough parking spaces for 
every resident, the development will 
contain 25 percent more parking than is 
required by local ordinances. The proj­
ect will also include improved side­
walks, new street lighting and trees.

However, North University Neigh­
borhood Association has already gath­
ered a valid petition signed by a major­
ity of property owners immediately 
surrounding the project which would 
overrule the zoning motion. To defeat 
the petition, six council members 
would have to vote against it.

The reactions to the building project 
highlight problems with neighbor­
hood planning on a broader scale.

"For years, even decades, neigh­

borhoods like NUNA, Heritage, 
Eastwoods, Judges Hill and Hyde 
Park have been waiting in the wings, ’ 
waiting their turn to move from a 
reactive, oppositional role to become 
positive, proactive team players in 
neighborhood change and improve­
ment," said Jerry Roemisch, presi­
dent of NUNA.

The City Council will conduct a sec­
ond reading of the proposal when it 
meets Thursday.

ESB chairman disputes 
SG commission ruling

SG, from 1
Brown disagreed with the deci­
sion, stating that board members 
voiced their concerns with the opin­
ion, adding that the opinion was 
modified to address those concerns.
"Within the hearing, everyone 
agreed that it was accurate and 
applicable to that hearing," Brown 
said. "We made a decision within 
the context of our hearing, which I 
still agree with."

Regarding another financial dis­
pute — One's alleged failure to dis­
close expenditures for a campaign 
Web site — the commission voted 
to uphold ESB's decision declaring 
the ticket guilty.

Achieve ticket manager Matt 
Mackowiak applauded the com­
mission's decision.

"We have full faith in the ESB 
and the Judicial Commission to 
oversee the elections to make sure 
they are as fair as possible," 
Mackowiak said. "We agree with 
the commission's ruling that the 
advisory opinion was illegitimate 
and should not be considered, and 
we look forward to retrying the 
case."

Todd: Signatures 
‘not a contribution'

COUNCIL, from 1
And while the two council members 
say they have not been in contact with 
Todd or people involved in his cam­
paign, there still remains the question 
of whether gathering signatures, espe­
cially those that are paid for, is a cam­
paign contribution. Todd said his com­
mittee plans on turning in the collected 
petitions to the Slusher and Goodman 
campaigns in the next few weeks.

Discussion of this issue has quietly 
begun in some Austin political circles, 
with both sides well-represented. 
independent 
What constitutes an 
expenditure, and what constitutes a 
contribution occupies a gray area in the 
city's campaign finance laws, said 
Craig McDonald director of Texans for 
Public Justice.

"If [Todd] is collecting signatures and 
turning the signatures over to the cam­
paigns, then absolutely in my mind if s 
a coordinated expenditure, and there­
fore, ifd be subject to the current law," 
McDonald said. "It seems to me that if s 
difficult, if not impossible, to aigue that 
both sides working on the same petition 
drive, with signatures turned in on the 
same petition for the same exact goal is 
an activity that is independent of the 
incumbenf s campaign."

Karen Lundquist with the Texas 
Ethics Commission agreed with 
McDonald.

"I think once [the petitions] are given 
to them, they're accepting a thing of 
th afs a contribution," 
value and 
Lundquist said.

Others have agreed, and one candi­
date for the council may even file a 
complaint with the dty derk's office 
directed against Todd's PAC as early as 
Wednesday.

Todd, however, disputes the allega­
tions, and said an attorney has given 
his campaign the green light.

"Ifs absolutely not a contribution," 
Todd said. "Certainly ifs benefidal to

the campaign, but ifs not a contribution 
for purposes of the campaign law."

But Texas law, which supersedes 
Austin law, states that a campaign con­
tribution is one offered or given with 
the intent that it be used in a campaign 
for elected office.

Whether Todd's actions comply with 
Austin code, the dispute has already 
highlighted a major problem in the 
city's campaign finance laws. The laws 
don't clearly define what is considered 
strategic communication, which deter­
mines whether an expenditure is inde­
pendent or a contribution, said Jim 
Cousar, a lawyer who has worked with 
the city on its campaign finance laws.

"The charter amendment is full of 
holes like that," Cousar said. "It 
attempts to state certain prohibitions 
and certain rules, but it doesn't have 
nearly the level of detail that a system 
of campaign finance needs. There's a 
lot more vagueness in the charter than 
there is in a well-written campaign 
finance ordinance."

At its core, the dispute isn't about the 
legality of what Todd is doing in this 
election year, but whether a private 
campaign finance system is truly viable 
as part of a democratic process.

Independent expenditures will con­
tinue to be an important issue in Austin 
if the current $100 contribution limits 
remain in the future, McDonald said*.

"I think that independent expendi­
tures could really pose a problem in the 
current law," McDonald said. "Anyone 
else could raise lots of money above the 
current contribution limits and spend it 
independently. There have to be some 
changes in the law to protect candidates 
from independent expenditures."

One proposed solution is the Fair 
Elections Act, which will be on the May 
ballot. If approved, it would set up a 
public campaign finance system in 
Austin, eliminating the problem of pri­
vate independent expenditures.

 Hole found in

tunnel near U.S. Embassy in Rome

By The Associated Press

ROME — A hole large enough 
to crawl through was discovered 
in a tunnel adjacent to the US. 
Embassy in Rome, and embassy 
officials said Monday that raids 
on suspected terrorists uncovered 
a map on which water pipes lead­
ing to die building were circled. 
Nine men have been arrested as 
part of die investigation.

However, the suspects, all 
Moroccans, have not been coop­
erating with Italian authorities 
who lack hard evidence that an 
attack was being planned on the 
embassy, the officials said.

"It's too premature," to know 
what the aim was, said one 
embassy official, on condition of 
anonymity. "We just don't know." 
The Rome embassy came under 
threat one year ago in a thwarted 
plot blamed on Osama bin 
Laden's al-Qaida network.

Italian news reports have said 
the 
investigators 
Moroccans were involved in a

believe 

plot to either pump gas into the 
embassy or poison die water sup­
ply.

On Tuesday, security experts 
from the State Department will 
inspect the tunnel that was 
marked on the suspects' map of 
Rome's underground utility lines. 
The tunnel runs under Via 
Boncompagni, a street flanking 
one side of the heavily-guarded 
U.S. Embassy complex on the 
fashionable Via Veneto.

After 

the arrest of 

the 
Moroccans last week, a hole was 
found Wednesday in the tunnel, 
which contains electric and tele­
phone lines, embassy officials 
said.

Embassy officials said it is not 
yet known when the hole was 
made. Italian police refused to 
comment Monday about the tun­
nel but U.S. diplomats said 
underground inspections around 
the embassy have been taking 
place daily since the Moroccans 
were arrested.

Rome's tunnels are accessible

through manholes. For safety and 
security reasons, each end of the 
tunnel near the embassy is sealed 
off by a 3-foot thick concrete wall.
Embassy officials said Monday 
that one of the walls had been 
"chipped away," to a depth of 
about 2 feet — a large enough 
gap to allow someone to crawl 
through.

said 

U.S. officials 

Italian 
authorities were not getting very 
far in their efforts to learn more 
about why the suspects had the 
than eight 
maps and more 
ferro- 
pounds of potassium 
cyanide in their apartment.

The suspects "have not been 
cooperative, and the Italian police 
have not learned much," an 
embassy official said.

In an initial appearance before 
a judge Sunday, the suspects 
denied being part of a terrorist 
group and said they didn't know 
how the chemical compound got 
into the apartment. They were 
ordered held on charges of sub­
versive association. Defense attor­

ney Domenico Martelli said he 
would appeal the judge's order.

Potassium ferrocyanide con­
tains small quantities of cyanide 
"but if heated up to about 932 
degrees Fahrenheit, it can emit 
hydrocyanic add, which is highly 
toxic," according to Ludano 
Caprino, an expert in pharmacol­
ogy at Rome's La Sapienza 
University. "Depending on its 
density in a room, this gas could 
kill in a few minutes," he said.

Embassy employees were 
briefed by the U.S. ambassador, 
who urged them to be aware of 
changes in their surroundings as 
part of security measures, which 
offidals described as already 
tight.

"It is nearly impossible to 
increase our security," one offidal 
said.

Since Sept. 11, authorities 
across Europe have discovered a 
few plots — many thought to 
involved al-Qaida — 
have 
induding a scheme to blow up 
the U.S. Embassy in Paris.

Improved AIDS treatments increasing 
number of Americans living with HIV

prevalence, calculated as of 2000, is 
between 850,000 and 950,000 people.

During the 1980s, the government 
believed that well over 1 million peo­
ple had HIV, but it later lowered that 
figure. According to the latest esti­
mates, between 400,000 and 450,000 
were infected in 1984. This grew to 
between 550,000 and 650,000 in 1986. 
Researchers estimate that the number 
of people living with HIV was 
between 650,000 and 900,000 by 1992.
According to the CDC, the total 
number of infected Americans has 
increased by about 50,000 in the last 
two years studied, 1999 and 2000. That 
suggests the total could reach 1 million 
this year.

Survival increased almost overnight 
when drug combinations that includ­
ed medicines called protease inhibitors 
transformed HIV from a death sen­
tence to a chronic treatable illness.

By the late '90s, many doctors 
feared these gains would evaporate as 
treatments lost their punch. 
the 
Doctors noticed that after initial suc­
cess that seemed to eliminate HIV, 
many patients developed viruses that 
were resistant to all the major classes 
of medicines. Their virus levels crept 
back to the point where they could be 
measured on standard tests.

Doctors worried that the virus

would eventually resume its destruc­
tion of their immune defenses.

To their relief, however this has not 
often happened. Even when resistant 
virus emerges, patients who stay on the 
drugs usually keep their HIV levels 
low and remain free of obvious disease. 
Constance Benson of the University of 
Colorado said that in her AIDS practice, 
the annual death rate is 1 to 2 percent 
and is not changing.

"The fear that treatment failure 
would result in a subsequent rise in 
mortality has not so far panned out," 
she said.

A major CDC goal is to increase test­
ing among people at high risk of catch­
ing HTV Infected people should know 
about it so they can begin treatment 
when necessary and guard against 
spreading HIV to others.

Fleming said that about three-quar­
ters of infected people in the United 
States know they have the virus, up 
from about two-thirds in 1998. "The 
proportion is improving, but we have 
a long way to go," she said.

No one knows precisely how many 
of the estimated 670,000 Americans 
with HTV are being seen by doctors for 
their infections. However, the data 
suggest that about one-third have not 
received basic blood cell counts, which 
are the standard first step in HTV care.

U.S. troops help rebuild Afghanistan

By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — U.S. troops in 
Afghanistan are taking on more jobs 
that look like peacekeeping and nation- 
building: They're repairing hospitals, 
schools and waterworks. They set up a 
medical school. They're going to help 
train an Afghan army.

Soon, U.S. military advisers may be 
sent to prevent clashes among feuding 
warlords, providing evidence of deep­
ening U.S. involvement despite the 
Bush administration'á reluctance to 
engage in peacekeeping.

White House 

spokesman Ari 
Fleischer made clear Monday that 
President Bush still wants the military 
used only to fight and win wars. But he 
said the United States is talking with 
allies and considering how to strength­
en 
inside 
Afghanistan to keep the country from 
falling into chaos.

forces now 

security 

"The United States is committed to 
the long term of Afghanistan, including 
its security and safety," Fleischer said. "1 
think it is also fair to say that it's not

going to be an easy process, and it's not 
going to happen overnight."

The U.S. commander in the war, Gen. 
Tommy Franks, said options include 
expansion of the 4,500-person, British- 
led international security force, which 
now operates only in the capital, Kabul. 
Franks ruled out making peacekeepers 
of the U.S. troops, and called the securi­
ty situation "murky and troublesome."
The sticking point is that U.S. allies 
have been unwilling to commit to a 
larger peacekeeping force unless the 
United States also commits more 
troops, said Ivo Daalder, an analyst at 
the Brookings Institution.

In general, US. officials agree that 
helping create a national Afghan army 
is the best long-term solution. The prob­
lem is how to prevent battles until then.-
Defense Secretary Donald H. 
Rumsfeld clearly favors waiting for the 
national army. But at least one high- 
ranking State Department official has 
indicated more peacekeepers may be 
needed.

On Sunday, the U.S. special envoy to 
Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, told

reporters the United State's mu\ • nd 
military advisers to act as retomes 
among rival warlords until a nati nal 
army can be formed. Alternatively, the 
task could be given to U S 1 ¡ 
ial 
Forces troops already there.

"There is a danger of multiple u u nes 
be 

going to war," Khalilzad said 
warlords and their armed men.

Despite his preference for training an 
army, Rumsfeld last week refuse'll tor 
the first time to rule out an Amem an 
tole in keeping order in Afghanistan. 
About 225 Army civil affairs troops 
now are helping to rebuild dam iged 
schools, hospitals and water siq phi's, 
Thomas said. They also work w ith the 
international peacekeeping force to et 
up a medical school in Kabul, inch* ling 
obtaining equipment and books, and to 
organize 
food-for-work pit >, u ams 
around Herat and assist a group that 
helps Afghan widows earn money 
sewing.

The bulk of the 4,000 U.S. tio s

Qaida leaders, guarding detain

They say the best teams are the 
ones with players who've been together 
a long time. We couldn't agree more.

SEATTLE — Doctors have been so 
successful in saving the lives of people 
the number of 
with AIDS that 
Americans with HIV is actually increas­
ing again, after holding steady for years, 
and is now approaching 1 million, 
according to government estimates.

Experts say the total number of 
Americans living with HIV is proba­
bly rising by about 25,000 a year — a 
testament to the power of AIDS drugs 
that have vastly improved treatment 
over the past six years.

The government estimates that 
40,000 Americans become infected 
with HIV each year, a figure that has 
remained roughly stable for over a 
decade. However; until the turnaround 
in AIDS therapy, this figure was nearly 
offset each year by AIDS deaths, so the 
total number of Americans carrying die 
virus stayed level.

Now, AIDS deaths have plunged 
from around 40,000 annually to about 
15,000. As a result, new infections are 
outstripping deaths.

Patricia Fleming of the Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention pre­
sented the new estimates Monday at 
the Ninth Annual Retrovirus 
Conference in Seattle.

Rep. Ken Bentsen of H ouston and form er D allas M ayor 
Ron Kirk, the polls have show n a different race. Bentsen 
only has 19 percent of the vote and Kirk has 21 percent. The 
m an to beat, with 34 percent, is M orales.

Mirages in the Afghan desert

By Forrest Wilder
Daily Texan Columnist

With its head in the sand, a dove in 
one hand and a Daisy Cutter in the 
other, America marches forward with 
her War on Terrorism. As the memory of 
Afghanistan fades to the "axis of evil," a 
big question remains unanswered: How 
in 
civilians were 
many 
Afghanistan by the U.S. military?

killed 

Occasionally, when someone does 
broach the question, the answer given is 
"who cares?" Apparently not the Bush 
administration, the Pentagon or most 
Americans. Even U.N. officials have 
been reluctant to open their mouths on 
the taboo issue for fear of reprisal from 
the United States. In the post-Sept. 11 cli­
mate, America tacitly delineates the 
boundaries of acceptable discourse. This 
silence is a peculiar strain of what Noam 
Chomsky called "intentional ignorance," 
the amazing ability of intelligent, educat­
ed people to conveniently ignore things 
"that wouldn't do to talk about."

learned 

How many civilians did the United 
States kill in Afghanistan? No one can 
be sure of the exact number of civilian 
casualties, because the U.S. military 
doesn't want the public to know. They 
don't do body counts any more; that 
the hard way during 
was 
Vietnam. The G ulf War taught the 
Pentagon that war is best conducted 
dom estically as a PR cam paign — 
broadcast the flashy, fun parts of war on 
TV instead of the mechanical slaughter 
that constitutes most conflicts between 
the United States and its adversaries.

The number is surely not in "the

dozens" like The Los Angeles Times irre­
sponsibly reported. It's also safe to say 
that it's not in the hundreds either. In 
fact, for those who scratch below the sur­
face of Pentagon propaganda and the 
"hear-no-evil, see-no-evil" attitude of the 
U.S. media, it is easy to deduce that there 
were more people killed in Afghanistan 
than in the attacks of Sept. 11.

it 

Though it's difficult to get an accurate 
estim ate, 
is not im possible. O ne 
healthy tool is the conservative esti­
mate. Instead of accepting all reported 
casualties at face value, take those that 
can be substantiated with a high degree 
of certainty, and arrive at a number that 
reflects the bare minimum of persons 
killed. With this number in hand, we 
can talk with confidence about the 
human cost of war; we can put our con­
sciences and civility to the test.

In an extensively documented report, 
the 
Professor Marc Herold 
University of New Hampshire calculates 
that U.S. air strikes alone had killed 3,767 
in
men, women, 

children 

from 

and 

and 

Afghanistan by Dec. 6. Through an 
exhaustive search of news agencies, 
first-hand 
major newspapers, 
accounts, Herold was able to compile 
what he and many human rights groups 
call a "very, very conservative estimate." 
His calculations do not include those 
killed in remote areas, those killed indi- 
réctly when air strikes cut off their access 
to hospitals, food or electricity, bomb vic­
tims who died of complications later, 
those who died in refugee camps, chil­
dren blown up by cluster bombs and 
those who were killed after Dec. 6. So it's 
a very conservative estimate indeed.

That's 62 people per day for eight-and-a- 
half weeks. Not al-Qaida. Not Taliban. 
These are desperately poor, war-stricken 
people who were "in the way." If this was 
the Gulf War, these 3,767 people would be 
written off, as one editorialist put it at the 
time, as "civilians who picked the wrong 
neighborhood to be in at the wrong time." 
Now, they might as well have never 
existed.

Herold's report and others like them. In a 
Lexis-Nexis search of major U.S. newspa­
pers, only four newspapers made mention 
of the study — two of them op-ed pieces. 
So it's no surprise that people like CNN 
Chairman Walter Isaacson advertise their 
intentional ignorance. In an interview with 
The Washington Post, Isaacson said that it 
"seems perverse to focus too much on the 
casualties or hardship in Afghanistan." 
Perverse? The only thing perverse is die 
callousness of the self-imposed moniker erf 
"world's freest media."

Thankfully, there are som e media 
sources with integrity. The Boston Globe 
has conducted its own study of 14 sites 
bombed by U.S. planes. Of course, this 
handful of sites represents only a frac­
tion of civilian casualties in a country 
where 18,000 bombs, missiles, and ord­
nance have been fired. The Globe review 
discovered that U.S. bombardment has 
"almost certainly killed more than 1,000 
innocents, although the deaths in these 
villages are un,usual because of the 
apparent decision by U.S. troops to 
bomb known civilian areas that were 
caught in the crossfire of battle."

Under increasing international and 
domestic pressure, the Pentagon has 
begun examining a few of its more egre­
gious "mistakes." However, they are 
aware that close scrutiny of their activi­
ties will have a tar baby effect. To com­
bat the truth, the Pentagon has created 
the Office of Strategic Influence, which 
will undoubtedly portray bombs as but­
terflies, cluster bombs as candy, and 
dead Afghans as illusions.

The U.S. media has virtually ignored

that the United N ations has simply 
been an extension for the United

Down with the U.N.

In his column (U.S. should withdraw 
from United Nations, Feb. 25) James 
Watkins could not possibly be more on 
target. The United Nations is a large 
alliance of nations with what seems to 
be legitimate goals. However, the U.N. 
is not what it is cracked up to be. Trying 
to control the w orld's weapons? The 
United Nations?

No thank you. I would like to thank 
Watkins for pointing this out. It's about 
time someone tried to wake the masses 
up to what's really going on our world. 
I look forward to more inspiring work 
from Watkins.

Bad Texan picks

I wonder how in the world Katie King 
got endorsed for SG president. She hasn't 
done anything that she said she was going 
to do on the Right ticket in Spring 2001. 
Where are our bus stop covers, our "give 
them hell" bells, our orange coach on the 
West Mall? Just because you didn't have 
the president and vice president in there 
with you doesn't mean you couldn't have 
taken some initiative. I know if I would 
have been elected as College of Education 
representative, I would have worked on 
getting these things done.

And Nada, helping Emerge, where is our 
student on the Board of Regents? Oh right, 
that is impossible, but you think it is OK to 
support that idea when you knew it would 
never get done by Matt Hammond. The 
Texan is clearly picking the wrong people to 
endorse, and I hope that no one will fall for 
their trap.

Don't forget Cabinet

We're writing to express our concern with 
the Texan's Viewpoint on Feb. 25. We agree 
that the outcome of Student Government 
elections is crucial for the future of student 
leadership on this campus. However, it is 
extremely irresponsible for the Texan to tell 
students that SG is the only student organi­
zation that the administration listens to. You 
couldn't be further from the truth.

Any time an administrator in any col­
lege seeks student input the first place 
they go is the college council, not 
Student Government. College councils 
have productive relationships with their 
Dean's office and are able to express stu­
dent concerns without worrying about

politics and emotions.

Councils address academic issues specif­
ic to their college and have a strong voice 
with university administrators. Not only 
do administrators listen to the college 
councils; they work with us to improve the 
quality of our education. Councils take a 
quieter, but more proactive approach to stu­
dent concern, and we 
influence real 
changes. The fact that the Texan doesn't rec­
ognize the influence and dedication that 
those in the college council system possess 
makes us question how much we should 
trust their SG endorsements.

We encourage every student at the 
University to vote in the SG elections, but 
we think students need to educate them­
selves on who the best candidate for each 
position is. Seek out the candidates who 
understand all aspects of student concern. 
Don't rely on the opinion of a paper that 
ignores a substantial fraction of die student 
voice.

Editor's Note: The lost two Firing Line authors 
make valid points. Our endorsements are our per­
sonal opinions on the election — not statements 
o f fact. As with every other issue we write about, 
we encourage the students to do their own

research and make up their own minds.

A global village

Regarding M onday's column (U .S. 
shou ld w ithdraw from U.N., Feb. 25), it's 
simply laughable! The U.N. may have 
flaws, but they are not "o u t to get 
A m erica." For starters the U.S. was 
voted off the Hum an Rights Council 
because they arrogantly neglected to 
cam paign. For example: Great Britain 
w as continuously elected except for 
one period, since then they have cam ­
paigned every session and continued 
to get elected.

The HRC is not a Security Council 
perm an en t m em bers, Mr. 
w ith 
Watkins. As a point of interest, this 
cam e after President Bush walked out 
of the Kyoto accords and announced 
his Star W ars defense plan. Thus the 
United States w asn't particularly pop­
ular. In fact, Congress threatened the 
U nited N ations w ith holding back 
dues unless they were reinstated into 
the HRC! And this from the w orld's 
leading democracy.

I don't have to be an American to tell 
you that the only w ay anyone could

get 
weapons is from the cold dead fingers 
of George W. Bush. America has a very 
large nationalism, I think this is why 
the United States refuses to form part 
of the U.N. peace keeping force in 
Afghanistan and instead uses Special 
Ops team s to hunt Taliban and A1 
Qaida members, leaving defense of 
this new country in the hands of the 
United Nations.

Let me assure you, there is no way 
that the United Nations could ever 
dominate the United States. In fact, a

By Austin KJnghom
Daily Texan Staff

LTI President I urry Faulkner announced a 
3.25 percent increase in funding for the salary 
jkx>1 last Friday in a move the administration 
hopes will help the University attract and keep 
quality faculty.

The pay raises will be ment-based and there­

fore will not benefit all employees.

Other arenas of spending, such as administra­
tive operations and equipment purchases, will 
see cutbacks and delays to accom modate the 
r lises, but Faulkner said providing an outstand­
ing faculty must remain the University's top pri­
ority.

"In order to accom modate this increase dur­
ing these challenging econom ic times, we have 
had to stretch our budget and defer some impor­
tant non-salary activities," Faulkner said in a 
statement. "However, w e must remain com pet­
itive in retaining and attracting high-quality fac­
ulty and staff who make this one of the nation's 
leading public universities."

The University, in the midst of drafting next 
year's budget, chose to incorporate the raise in 
light of a possible salary increase mandated by 
the Legislature for the 2002-2003 fiscal year. The 
state-mandated salary raise awaits a decision 
from the state comptroller.

Kevin Hegarty, vice president and chief finan­

cial officer, said the University is unsure what 
the comptroller's decision will be, but Hegarty 
said the U T administration wanted to construct 
a budget flexible for any circumstances.

"Given the current economic climate, it is [a] 
very good target to hit," Hegarty said. "We will 
align our finances to carve out enough monies to 
provide for a raise. If the comptroller comes 
along and certifies the 3 percent, w e will be 
ready to provide for that."

In the event of the mandatory pay raise, the 
state would partially assist in the 3 percent 
increase, H egarty said. The 
the 
U niversity w ould receive as part of the 
state-m andated raise would refund the budget

funding 

cuts made for the pay increases already created 
through the salary pool 

"W e want to be clear with our employees. If 
the state decides to impose the 3 percent raise, it 
does not mean pav raises will go up to 6 25 per­
cent," Hegarty said.

I he national average for annual pay raises 
ranges between 4.8 percent to 5.2 percent. 
University officials expect the national average 
to fall on the lower end of that spectrum this 
year and said while the University has lost 
ground, it will remain competitive with institu­
tions across the countrv 

The national average takes into account the 
combination of administrative and departmen­

tal funding and Hegarty said he expects schools 
within the University to add varying amounts of 
their individual resources to the 3.25 percent 
administrative increase.

John Dollard, a mathematics professor and 
member of the faculty council, said that combi­
nation will put the University on par with com ­
peting institutions.

"It's certainly better than other places are 
going to get. I don't see us slipping behind other 
universities," Dollard said. "I recently spoke 
with officials from Tennessee, Kentucky and 
North Carolina, all of which are facing similar 
budgetary difficulties, and I think they would all 
be delighted to have 3.25 percent."

1. A better partnership 
between the different chan­
nels of communication and 
the different channel of 
fighting the fee would have 
been very beneficial. We 
had different groups of stu­
dents working on all differ­
ent battles, but within the 
same war... If we had 
shown not only in telling 
them, but in our presence 
the varied responses that 
people responded with to 
the fee, I think that would 
have had a greater impact 
on the regents.
2 . 1 think what we need to 
do in that situation is one, 

create more effective repre­
sentatives. We need to make 
more representatives more 
accountable for a larger num­
ber of students and that 
means going to more than 
just the speaker circuit. But 

1. We created a platform 
that was two-fold. One 
fold involving the 
Legislature and the other 
fold representing specif­
ic issues and concerns 
on campus. In doing this 
we believe that everyone 
is touched. Our goal and 
our focus was to make 
sure that we made avail­
able Student 
Government.
2. We want to create a 
partnership with the 
parking garages. The 
way that Parking and 
Transportation works

Student Government elections begin today. Each student can place 
one vote for each available seat for their respective school in the 
Student Assembly. The candidates’ responses, which were edited by 
the Texan for brevity and clarity, are as follows in the order in which 
they appear on official Student Government ballots:

SG presidential candidates: (1 vote) 1. How would you have handled 
the fee differently than the current administration? 2. How do you plan 
to address student concern that SG is not representative of the stu­
dent body? 3. What are the top three issues of your campaign, and 
how do you plan to address them?

Vice presidential candidates: (1 vote) 1. What does your ticket have 
to offer that will benefit the student body? 2. How does your ticket 
plan to address the upcoming parking issues on campus? 3. What 
is the most important issue on campus and how do you plan to 
address it?

standing up in every single class that you’re in and telling 
them about what's happening and asking them for feedback 
... tackling issues that matter to all students and truly taking 
a stance on issues that students can mobilize behind 
because they feel they will truly be impacted by them.
3. No. 1 would be mobilizing student concern in the 
Legislature. Communication within SG and without starting 
with the executive branch ... and that’s what we, Nada and I, 
bring to the executive board of Student Government, we 
have the communication skills to involve the entire assembly 
in everything that’s going on and in turn, the assembly will 
involve the student body. Safety is one of the biggest issues 
that we are facing. This University is growing every day and 
with it, the safety concerns of the University need to grow.

of our campaigns is making students’ voices 
heard ... at all levels. And when we say student 
input we mean real student input, we want to get 
real input into these areas. Housing is another 
one of our big complaints — we think a lot of the 
problems we have here stem from housing. If all 
the students lived around campus we wouldn’t 
have parking problems because we wouldn’t have 
tons of people trying to get to campus. We wouln’t 
have shuttle bus problems, we wouldn’t have a lot 
of the problems we have. Safety and parking is 
our other big issue.

3. Student representation:
Students know they’re being 

represented but they don’t know how they’re being repre­
sented. You have students initiate projects, you have stu­
dents come up with ideas, you take students who have nec­
essarily been involved and make them want to get involved. 
Minority interest: Individual opportunity on this campus 
needs to be brought to the surface on this campus. The way 
we’re doing that is we’re trying to create a leadership work­
shop for underrepresented schools in the area. Feedback: 
think that without feedback Student Government can’t thrive, 
it can’t succeed. I don’t feel that right now they are doing all 
that«they can do to solicit that feedback from every part of 
campus.

zations and students from 
all over campus into the 
Student Government so their voices can get heard and 
also through a strong partnership with the Cabinet of 
College Councils. That way we are working hand in hand 
in everything that we do.
3. Student Government needs to have a fresh face. It 
needs to have real solutions and not just rhetoric and it 
needs to have a Student Government that wants to 
access the campus and not the other way around. The 
second one is that students need to become more 
proactive on a larger level. Also to expand on the commit­
tees that are already in Student Government to help the 
University and a lot of that has to do with minority recruit­
ment.

1. Students knew 
about the fee, but I 
don’t think they knew 
how to react to the fee. 
I would have liked to 
see students more in 
on the proposal, I know 
Student Government 
had a com m ittee, and 
they revised the pro­
posal, but I don’t think 
students had a lot of 
input on the com m it­
tee.
2. That’s something we 
strive to really do on 
our ticket, is make sure 
we have diverse peo­
ple. Making sure that 
students have a way

3. The top three issues 

1. We are the most 
diverse ticket, which 
will offer the student 
body representation to 
all areas of the cam­
pus. We’ve got some 
fresh ideas, like the 
Student Government 
slam tables. I think it’s 
the diversity and the 
ideas that really set us 
apart.
2. The only way to han­
dle parking is to com­
municate with and 
lobby with the 
Department of 
Transportation via Dr. 
Bob Harkins. We have

1 . 1 would have let students 
know that they cbuld have 
gone to the Board of 
Regents meeting. I think 
Matt [Hammond] and Jarrad 
[Toussant] did an amazing 
job ... but I feel like a lot of 
students didn’t know that 
that was an open meeting 
that they would have been 
able to attend. And had they 
known that, I think we would 
have mobilized a mass of 
students, I have no doubt 
about that.
2. Student Government is 
so removed from the stu­
dent body. It’s going to take 
more approachable, visible 
people on campus to be rep- 
resentative of the student 

1. First and foremost, the 
way we’re going to benefit 
the student body is the fact 
that our people come from 
every part of this campus, 
and it’s about branching out 
to people and being visible 
on this campus. A tot of peo­
ple ask why we’re wearing 
yellow. Its symbolic of the 
feet that we not only want to 
be visible not just now dur­
ing this campaign process, 
but we want to be visible 
during our entire SG tenure.
2. Bob Harkins has said he 
wants to disassociate the 
word “free" from parking.
We need to make sure that

1 . 1 think the fee situation 
was handled decently 
given the circumstances 
the administration put 
students into. If I had to 
do anything differently it 
would would have been to 
work more closely with 
students from all over 
campus. I would have 
worked with students who 
were actually out there 
getting the petition and 
mobilize the students who 
were out there getting 
petitions to work hand in 
hand with Student 
Government. I would have 
tried to make it known 
that students could attend

1. Our ticket has to offer 
solutions that typically 
are not seen in Student 
Government elections. 
Many tim es campaigns 
offer a lot of wonderful 
platform ideas but they 
don’t examine or explore 
the ways that Student 
Government can accom­
plish those. Through our 
Campus Life Council and 
formalizing a better part­
nership between the 
Cabinet of College 
Councils we’re going to 
be able to tap into stu­
dents that are not typi­
cally reached so we can

pendent of the University.
They’re responsible for funding their own garages.
We want to increase the user-friendliness of the 
garage by having some sort of a parking garage per­
mit, and it won’t be like a night permit.
3. I don’t think that question can be answered, 
because there are certain issues that are more 
important to certain people. Our role would be to 
facilitate students to bring those issues out. We are 
all going to have different issues, we’re all going to 
have different views.

a couple ideas that we’d like to run by him and 
hopefully get implemented. Such as getting the 
5:45 free spaces down to 4 :30 like they were 
before, and we’d like to lim it the number of at-all- 
tim es spaces.
3. Free speech. I think we’ve kind of come to a 
lag. The policies right now don’t abide with the 
First Amendment, in my opinion. They need to be 
reevaluated and a com m ittee needs to form that 
will include students and adm inistrators that can 
hopefully revamp the current system.

there is parking available for students at an affordable rate, if 
that does come true; in the meantime we’re going to be 
fighting as hard as we can to make sure that there is free 
parking on this campus. As they move [parking] to the 
perimeters and parking garages we need to make sure that 
our shuttle bus system is second to none, and we provide 
students with transportation alternatives. Right now we’re 
paying more with the fee, do we really need to do it with 
parking?
3. The most important issue on campus right now is student 
representation. It’s flat; it’s easy; it’s a buzz word; but still it’s 
extremely important. We need to have student representa­
tion from regents to the administration, from student organi­
zations and from students who aren’t in organizations — all 
the way down, make sure that everyone’s voice is heard in 
the process. While Student Government should be the offi­
cial voice, we recognize the fact that there are 50,000 stu­
dents with differing opinions on this.

represent students more fully.
2. We’re planning on working with the administration 
and finding out what students really want as far as 
the times and the locations.
3. The most important issue right now is getting a 
student on the Board of Regents. Through mobilizing 
the students, by actually communicating with them 
and giving channels like the Campus Life Council 
and our Cabinet partnership, we’ll be able to mobi­
lize students by getting them on the same page, 
and inspiring them to actually be passionate about 
something, because they’ll know that everybody 
around them is fighting for the same reason.

Football team back to work, begins spring drills

Mack 
Brown:
said spring drills 
will be helpful in 
evaluating the 
more inexperi­
enced talent on 
the roster.

and secondary, since we have some 
young comers and safeties that can real­
ly make their mark this spring" Brown 
said. "On offense, the line is where we 
need the most work."

The Texas coaching staff has already 
begun tentatively filling those existing 
voids, as senior Lee Jackson and junior

Reed Boyd, along with Big 12 Freshman 
of the Year Derrick Johnson, participat­
ed in drills on Monday with the first- 
team defense.

To plug the hole at comerback left by 
future NFL draft pick Quentin Jammer, 
Texas is experimenting with switching 
leader, 
last season's 
Nathan Vasher, to the comer position 
opposite senior Roderick Babers.

interception 

The departure of another potential 
top 10 NFL draft pick in offensive tack­
le Mike Williams creates a vacancy on 
the line that Brown will look to replace 
with sophomore tackle Lionel Garr.

But spring practices will serve not 
only to fill spaces, but also to allow the 
Texas coaching staff to appraise the

younger talent on the roster.

"These drills aren't about guys who 
have played a lot of football," Brown 
said. "Spring needs to be about evaluat­
ing the young guys you have on cam­
pus."

One of the most compelling stories to 
watch throughout the duration of 
spring practices will be the competition 
between sophomore Chance Mock and 
red shirt freshman Matt Nordgren for 
the backup quarterback position 
behind incumbent Chris Simms. While 
Brown says that Mock is currently the 
No. 2 man, Longhorn faithful are all too 
familiar with quarterback controver­
sies.

"We have had the luxury of having

the two best quarterbacks in the coun­
try on the same team for the past two 
years, " Brown said. "As much as peo­
ple thought there was pressure on me 
and Greg Davis then, there is really a lot 
more now because we don't have any­
body that's ready to step in as the sec­
ond-string quarterback. We're one 
sprained ankle away from needing 
somebody with experience."

A position that will certainly not gen­
erate any controversy is at running 
back, where Big 12 Offensive Freshman 
of the Year Cedric Benson returned to 
action for the first time since missing the 
Holiday Bowl due to a shoulder stinger.
The Midland native tailback may see 
a new blocker ahead of him next sea­

son, though, as Brown is experimenting 
with moving junior tight end Brock 
Edwards into an H-back position, from 
which he could also serve as fullback.

Two of Browm's newest recruits will 
also see field time this spring, as defen­
sive lineman Bryan Pickryl and Chase 
Pittman are the latest Longhorns to join 
the team. However, Pickrvl will be lim­
ited to non-contact drills.

Texas will have to endure one more 
loss, however, as tight ends coach Tim 
Brewster, who has been with Brown for 
14 years, has been hired by the San 
Diego Chargers to serve in the same 
capacity under Marty Schottenheimer. 
Brown said he won't hire a replacement 
for Brewster until at least Friday.

Knight time in Austin

Legendary coach leads 
rebuilt Red Raiders squad

By Jonathan Green
Daily Texan Staff

The Longhorns haven't sold out a home game yet this 
season, but team officials have already announced 
Tuesday's meeting with Texas Tech as a sellout.

Texas (17-10, 8-6 Big 12) needs to win its final two 
games to secure a first-round bye in next w eek's Big 12 
tournament. However, the bulk of this game's hype has 
focused upon legendary Texas Tech head coach Bob 
Knight making his first appearance at the Erwin Center.

Texas center James Thomas said it doesn't bother him 
that the sellout may have resulted from Knight's appear­
ance rather than the importance of the game to the 
Horns. Guard Royal Ivey concurred.

"H e's one of the best coaches in the nation, and every­

one wants to see him," Ivey said.

Knight holds a 784-295 career record over 36 seasons.

the Big 12 a year ago with a 3-13 record into a virtual 
NCAA tournament lock.

"Shoot, what a one-year difference," Thomas said. "1 
thought it would take them at least a while; but those 
boys can play, and we respect them a lot."

Much of Tech's turnaround can be credited to the 
improved play of forward Andre Emmett. He started just 
one game last season and averaged only 7.7 points per 
game. But this season, he is a candidate for the All-Big 12 
team by leading the Red Raiders with a 19.5-point scor­
ing average .

"I'm never surprised when som eone thinks a guy can't 
do anything and he comes out and plays w ell," Texas 
head coach Rick Barnes said. "You could make an argu­
ment that [Emmett] is the most improved player in col­
lege basketball."

Since losing back-to-back contests at Oklahoma State 
and at Kansas to start February, Texas Tech has roared off 
four consecutive wins — all by at least 18 points.

Emmett scored 26 points in Tech's 91-68 blow out of 
Missouri last week and had 21 in the January meeting 
against Texas.

Texas, however, has dropped three of its last four 
games to fall into a tie with Missouri for fifth place in the 
conference. Tech and Oklahoma State are tied for third 
place, and only the top four teams in the league earn 
first-round byes for the Big 12 tournament.

With a win tonight, the Horns would sweep the season 
series with the Red Raiders, thus gaining the advantage 
for a first-round bye over Tech in case of a tiebreaker.

Thom as said having a bye "m atters to a certain 

extent."

"It would be nice, because it would give us a chance to 
get some rest," he said. "But regardless, every game [in 
the Big 12 tournament] is going to be a war."

The Jan. 14 game with Texas Tech was a war for the 
Horns, and they came away with a 74-71 overtime victo-

Second baseman 
sets table for Horns

By Brian Welch
Daily Texan Staff

Opposing teams weren't the only thing 
Texas second baseman Tim Moss dealt 
with while growing up in Lancaster.

The sophomore was brought up as the 
son of a former college baseball player, 
and it was tough to say the least.

"I felt like I was competing against my 
dad all of the time," said Moss, whose 
at 
father, Harry, played baseball 
Tennessee State University, "so I always 
told myself that I had to be as good or 
better than he was."

Now, in his second year at Texas, Moss 
has already shown signs of reaching his 
goals. But that doesn't mean he's off the 
hook with his dad.

"If he thinks I can do something better, 
he's still the first one to tell me. But I 
don't mind," Moss said. "It's good for 
me."

Lately, Moss' father hasn't had to give 
him much advice, as the Texas sopho­
more has emerged as one of this season's 
biggest offensive threats for the 14th-

ranked Longhorns.

The sophomore leads Texas (12-2) in 
five offensive categories and brings an 
11-game hitting streak into Tuesday's 
contest against Texas A&M -Corpus 
Christi (4-9).

Moss, who was named Big 12 Player of 
the Week on Monday, has fueled the 
high-powered Texas offense by consis­
tently reaching base, where he is consid­
ered most dangerous.

"He is one of the most exciting players 
on the field," Texas head coach Augie 
Garrido said. "H e's got great range, and 
he brings excitem ent to the ballpark 
everyday. He is one of our best base-run- 
ners — not only does he possess speed, 
but he also has good baseball instincts."

Moss is a perfect 7-of-7 in steals and 
currently leads the team with 17 runs 
scored.

But Moss' time in a burnt orange uni­

form hasn't always been pleasant.

Hitting just .245 in 46 games as a fresh­

man last season, Moss struggled at the

Any sports fan knows the old expres­

Mack Brown and the Longhorns got

While such positions as wide receiv­

Kansas 
pushed 
to limits

By Darren W. Dummlt
Daily Texan Staff

If nothing else, Kansas' historic bid 
to become the first team in Big 12 his­
tory to go undefeated has reinforced 
one age-old expression: "Winning is 
never easy."

Less than two weeks after the then- 
No. 2 Jayhawks ran out of Austin with 
a heart-stopping overtime victory over 
an unranked Texas squad, the current 
No. 1 team in the nation was pushed to 
the limits last weekend by a Nebraska 
team that is 5-9 in conference play, 
winning 88-87.

The Texas and Nebraska games 
have taught people a couple things 
about playing the most dominant team 
in Big 12 history. First, a team must 
shoot well from outside if they are to 
keep up with the Jayhawk scoring 
machine that averages 92 points per 
contest. Second, even if a team does 
come out firing on all cylinders, 
Kansas is making a habit of rising to 
the occasion.

"Our team is not thinking nor talk­
ing about being undefeated," Kansas 
head coach Roy Williams said. "This 
group has been very mature, and we 
have great trust in them that they'll 
play hard in every game or practice we 
have."

The Jayhawks needed to play hard 
on Sunday, when Nebraska turned in 
the best outside shooting performance 
in the 105-year history of Husker bas­
ketball.

With Cory Cochran going 6-12, John 
Robinson going 6-11 and Brian 
Conklin going 4-6 from downtown, 
Nebraska connected on a school record 
18 three-pointers on just 37 attempts. 
To put Nebraska's unimaginable 
shooting night in perspective, the 
Huskers shot just a shade under 50 
percent outside the arc while shooting 
just a shade under 40 percent from 
inside the arc.

Similarly, Kansas' scare against 
Texas was due, in large part, to an 
abnormally hot three-point shooting 
night. Brian Boddicker, a 30 percent 
three-point shooter on the season, 
went 4-9, while Brandon Mouton con-

Longhorns set 
for Jayhawks

By Mercedes Parker
Daily Texan Staff

The Kansas women's basketball team is on the verge of 
doing what no Big 12 women's basketball team has ever 
done — finish 0-16 in conference play.

And unfortunately for the Texas women's basketball 
team, the Jayhawks' last chance for a victory comes 
Tuesday against the Horns.

"I've been hoping Kansas would win a conference game 
before we got there," Texas head coach Jody Conradt said. 
"It's really frightening to play a team, on their home court, 
who is very motivated to win. We have to respect that."

The No. 13 Longhorns (18-8, 9-6 Big 12) are respecting 
Kansas' 0-15 conference record, seeing as it will be senior 
night at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan., when the 
Longhorns face the Jayhawks (5-23) Tuesday at 7.p.m.

"That definitely gives them a dangerous look," sopho­
more Stacy Stephens said. "It7s not a friendly 'Hey, come 
on in' kind of game. They're not like a doormat. It's their 
senior night, they haven't won a game yet. They're going 
to be fired up, we're playing away and, on top of that, 
we're a ranked team."

"It would end their conference schedule on the greatest 
note," Stephens said. "We're going to have to be extra pre­
pared for their players to do things that they normally 
wouldn't do."

Texas Sports Roundup

Men’s golfers slip to 
10th place

With a second-round score of 14- 
over-par Monday, the Texas men's 
golf team slipped to 10th place at the 
Puerto Rico Classic in San Juan, 
Puerto Rico.

The sixth-ranked Longhorns were 
tied for third place after Sunday's 
first-round 289. But M onday's 302 
left Texas on the bottom half of the 
15-team 
leaderboard, 41 strokes 
behind tournam ent leader Georgia 
Tech.

"We just didn't play well," Texas 
head coach John Fields said. "It was 
one of those rounds that we would 
prefer not to have."

Texas struggled Monday, but most 
of the rest of the field fared well on 
the par-72 River Course. Purdue, the 
tournam ent's host, posted a 10- 
under-par 278 to move up to third 
place.

No. 3 Clemson stayed in second 
place, three shots ahead of Purdue, 
after a 1-over-par 289. No. 1 Georgia 
Tech extended its tournam ent lead to 
18 strokes after its second consecu­
tive 13-under-par (275) showing.

Only one Longhorn, senior John 
Klauk, shot par or better on Monday. 
Klauk's even-par 72 left him in a tie 
for ninth place individually at 3- 
under-par. Klauk (69-72) trails tour­
nam ent leader Troy Matteson (69-65) 
of Georgia Tech by seven shots.

After a first-round 70, junior J.J. 
Wall shot 76 on Monday to slip into

a tie for 27th place. Redshirt junior 
Russell Surber posted a 78 and is tied 
for 58th at 8-over-par. Sophomores 
Rusty Kennedy and Jason Hartwick 
shot 76 and 78, respectively, and are 
tied for 61st place at 10-over-par.

Texas will try to regain some 
ground Tuesday, when play con­
cludes with the final 18 holes.
Women’s team one shot 
behind leader

After the first round of the Wildcat 
Invitational in Arizona, the Texas 
wom en's golf team sits one shot 
behind the leader and toumey host, 
Arizona. The tournam ent was post­
poned due to darkness and will fin­
ish tomorrow with an early start.

Sophomore Janice Olivencia leads 
the Longhorns and is currently in 
3rd place after shooting a personal- 
best four-under-par 68, one shot off 
the best 18-hole score in school histo­
ry. Freshman Lisa Ferrero shot a two- 
over-par 74 and is tied for 14th. 
Senior Kristen Dufour got back on 
track on day one with a three-over- 
par 75, 
for 27th place. 
Freshman Perry Swenson recorded a 
six-over-par 78 and is tied for 54th 
place, while Senior Randi Meadows 
registered a seven-over-par 79, tying 
for 58th. Junior Sherry Lissiak, who 
is competing as an individual, shot a 
five-over-par 77 and is in a tie for 
44th place.

Knight known across Atlantic

KNIGHT, from 9

ry in Lubbock.

Many spectators may be looking for "The General" 
Knight to get anim ated in tonight's game, but Texas 
freshman guard Sydmill Harris said he doesn't expect 
that.

"He wasn't crazy when we played them," Harris 

said even people across the Atlantic Ocean knew o f 
Knight for his coaching and his tirades.

"They know he's the w inning coach," Harris said. 
"But he has the reputation of being aggressive and 
crazy."

W hether it's the coaching style or the on-court antics, 
Knight has brought attention to Texas basketball in the 
form of an Erwin Center sellout.

"H e's a good coach. It's just sometimes, he flips," 

said. "He gets hot, but coach Barnes gets hot."

Thomas said.

plate while learning how to play two new positions.

"I played some outfield when I was younger, but I 
think I lost a step somewhere along the way," Moss said. 
"I played shortstop in high school, so when I moved to 
second, I was pretty happy be back in the infield. I just 
had to get used to the different angles at second."

And after enduring a shaky first year, Moss finally 
broke out in Texas' 2001 regional appearance to earn all- 
tournament team honors in Palo Alto, Calif.

"It helped a lot knowing that I could play well against 
good teams like Stanford," Moss said. "I was just trying

to be competitive, and it7s had a lot to do with w hat I'm

doing this year."

The learning process continued for Moss last sum m er 
when he joined teammates Eric Sultemeier and Michael 
Hollimon to play for the Beatrice Bruins in Nebraska.

"Over the summer, I tried to work on some things to 
improve my overall game," Moss said. "I was trying to 
make m y game more consistent by working on my hit­
ting, base running and strength."

Apparently, all his work has paid off.
"I just want to keep playing at a high level," M oss 
said. "If I can do that, then hopefully, I'll help my team
win.

Texas hopes to avoid upset

WOMEN, from 9
Stephens said a loss at Kansas would also diminish 
Texas' memories of its recent big wins over then-No. 3 
Tennessee and then-No. 3 Oklahoma.

"We beat Oklahoma, A&M, whoever. But if you lose 
to Kansas, that takes down whoever you beat before," 
Stephens said. "People would say, 'I guess they got 
lucky.' You'll always be looked at as lucky if you don't 
do what you're supposed to do against the teams 
you're supposed to [beat]."

Even though Kansas doesn't look very dangerous, Texas

hasn't won in Lawrence since the inception of the Big 12 iri 
19%, with its last win coming on Dec. 19,1983. The H orns 
have also lost their last four games against the Jayhawks.

w om en's tournament is h ardly over, with several 
teams, including Texas, on the verge of a first-round 
bye. A win over Kansas w ould likely put Texas as a 
No. 5 seed, setting the H orns up for a rematch w ith 
No. 12-seed Kansas in the first round.

It w ould also boost Texas' chances of hosting the first 
the women's N C A A 

rounds of 

second 

and 
Tournament.

KU rolls on

KANSAS, from 9

nected on four of his eight attempts.

"We've been the hunted. We've gotten everybody's 
best shot in every game, and we understand that," 
Williams said. "We take a lot of pride in knowing that 
we're going to take everyone's best shot every time out."
As in boxing, utilizing speed is the most effective 
method for a fast team of countering another team's best 
shot. Led by Kirk Hinrich, a guard that was tabbed by 
Missouri head coach Quinn Snyder as the best guard in 
the nation not named Williams, the Jayhawk fast break 
resulted in 18 fast break points in the Nebraska victory.

Conversely, the Husker fast break was shut out by the 
long arms of the Kansas forwards. Led by Drew Gooden 
and Nick Collison, the stingy Jayhawk defense com­
bined for 10 blocked shots, including two crucial swats 
by both Gooden and Collison in the final minute of play.
While Williams was not necessarily pleased with the 
overall performance of his ball club, he has nothing but 
confidence in his team's ability to bounce back to the 
championship form it takes to survive the month of 
March.

"I don't think we played well. I don't think we did the 
things we wanted to do. But Nebraska did the things 
they wanted to do and made it very difficult for us," 
Williams said. "There have been ups and downs this sea­
son, but the downs have not been there for very long."

MMM G 12 MEN’S
H e r p o l l

1. Kansas Jayhawks (25-2,14-0 Big 12)
The Jayhawks are finding out how tough it is to run the table in the 
Big 12, but it’s also tough to beat the No. 1 team in the nation.
2. Oklahoma Soonors (22-4,11-3)
The Sooners still have a chance at a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tourney.

3. Oklahoma State Cowboys (22-6, 9-5)
The Cowboys are hitting their stride just in time.
4. Texas Tech Red Raiders (20-6, 9-5)
Bob Knight’s players deserve credit for their 20-win season.
5. Texas Longhorns (17-10, 8-6)
Tthe Longhorns need to finish the season strong to ensure a 
respectable seed in the Big Dance.
6. Missouri Tigers (19-9, 8-6)
The Tigers seem to have stopped playing with any intensity.

7. Nebraska Comhuskers (12-13, 5-9)
Despite every player on the roster playing the game of their lives, all 
the Huskers could get out of the Kansas game was a loss.
8. Baylor Bears (14-13, 4-10)
This season has shown that the Bears have some quality young talent.
9. Iowa State Cyclones (12-16, 4-10)
The Cyclones are saving face with three wins in their last four games
10. Kansas State Wildcats (11-14, 5-9)
Maybe next year the Wildcats can shoot for a .500 conference 

record.
11. Colorado Buffaloes (13-12, 4-10)
The Buffs have lost five consecutive games.
12. Texas A&M Aggies (9-19, 3-11)
The Aggies remain stuck in the cellar.

 Delegation seeks Morales’ questions set stage for debate
high-tech help

By Chrissy Ragan
Daily Texan Staff

The D a ily T e x a n Tuesday, February 26, 2002 Page 13

By Vlckl Lame
Daily Texan Staff

Representatives of the Central Texas 
business community met Monday with 
Silicon Valley companies in California to 
encourage high-tech businesses to keep 
their ties with Austin, as part of 
a 
Opportunity Austin-San 
retention and 
three-day business 
recruiting trip.

Jose, 

The trip, initiated by the Greater 
is 
Austin Chamber of Commerce, 
designed to ensure that tech companies 
maintain and expand their presence 
within the city.

Saralee Tiede, the chamber's vice 
president of communications, said more 
than 24,000 layoffs occurred in the dty 
over the past year, and she hopes the trip 
will create jobs.

"We would like to fill some of the loss­
es that we have had in the last year and 
a half," Tiede said. "As the economy 
slowed down there have been a number 
of business failures, and we are really 
concerned that we could lose the very 
talented work force that we have here."

The 39 delegates scheduled about 70 
appointments with various semicon­
ductor, biotech, software, digital enter­
tainment, computer and commercializa­
tion firms.

The chamber has not made a similar 

trip since 1994.

"We did not do it for a number of 
years because our unemployment was 
very low — it got down to 1.6 percent," 
Tiede said. "And the businesses that

were here really thought it would threat­
en them if more businesses moved in."

A trip was planned for last September, 
Tiede said, but was rescheduled after the 
Sept. 11 attacks.

Phil Neighbors, president of the 
Greater San Marcos Chamber of 
Commerce, which sent two representa­
tives, said businesses have been timid 
about broadening their scopes because 
of a slowed economy, but are starting to 
stabilize.

"The technical industries are begin­
ning to show some signs of recovery and 
future expansion," Neighbors said. 
"And that is when contacts need to be 
made."

Don Martin, president of Martin & 
Salinas Public Affairs, Inc., said his firm 
sent a representative to help businesses 
interested in moving to the Austin area.
"It has been easy the last 10 years," 
Martin said. "People have been coming 
to Austin on their own without being 
recruited, but now with Austin's econo­
my, it is important for us to be a little bit 
more proactive."

He said the dty has a lot to offer com­
panies in terms of high quality of life, 
relatively low property taxes and hous­
ing and work force availability.

"I think many of the people in 
California assume it is hard to find 
workers here, but because of the recent 
downturn, we have a highly competent 
work force available," Martin said. "We 
still have positive job growth and a 
vibrant economy. It is an ideal time for 
someone looking ready to relocate."

As early primary voting polls opened, Democratic 
gubernatorial candidate Dan Morales called on 
opponent Tony Sanchez to reimburse Texas taxpay­
ers for a "business misjudgment," setting the stage 
for a March 1 debate between the candidates in 
Dallas.

Morales said Sanchez, a Laredo businessman, was 
to blame for the bankruptcy of a savings and loan in 
1988 that cost taxpayers $161 million.

"As a result of [Sanchez's] mismanagement and 
deceptive business practices, the business failed," 
said Morales, a former two-term Texas attorney gen­
eral. "And taxpayers had to bail it out."

Jim Moore, Morales' spokesman, said Sanchez 
could have written a check to cover the debt himself, 
but taxpayers had to "pick up the tab" instead.

"We think it's a piece of information that voters 

need to know," Moore said.

Holly Woodrow, Sanchez's deputy press secre­
tary, said Morales wants to distract from the serious 
questions about his own ethical conduct with his 
"loud irritating howls about Sanchez."

"Rather than attacking us on the same old stuff, 
[Morales] should spend his time explaining these 
serious questions," Woodrow said.

Woodrow added that three federal agencies 
including the Internal Revenue Sendee, the U.S. 
Department of Justice and a federal judge cleared 
Tesoro Savings and Loan of any wrongdoing.

But Morales said paying back taxpayers would be 

the moral thing for Sanchez to do.

"He allowed taxpayers to pay for the cost of his 
business misjudgements," Morales said. "The right 
thing for him to do is to write a check for $161 million."
The request comes after a federal investigation 
found that Tesoro, of which Sanchez was both chair­
man of the board and a majority shareholder, laun­
dered $25 million for a Mexican drug cartel in the 1980s.
Sanchez denies knowledge of the transactions, 
Morales said, adding that the investigation found 
the laundered money was deposited in Tesoro over

Democratic guber­
natorial candidate 
Dan Morales 
speaks at a press 
conference where 
he accuses oppo­
nent Tony Sanchez 
of poor business 
dealings, specifically 
addressing the fail­
ure of a savings and 
loan that Sanchez 
owned during the 
1980s.

K«llar Hall/
Daily Texan Staff

a 17-month period involving 84 transactions.

so they can make an informed decision.

"Many voters would find this of relevance ... that 
he was there when the savings and loan laundered 
$25 million," Morales said.

John WorldPeace, a Democratic gubernatorial 
candidate and Houston lawyer, said the information 
is nothing new to him.

"I've been talking about that aspect of Tony 
Sanchez for almost nine months," said WorldPeace, 
adding that Morales probably got most of his infor­
mation about Sanchez's business dealings from 
WorldPeace's Web site.

'Tony's got some major problems there, and the 
press is generally not wanting to talk about it," he said.
Morales said it is important for voters to have as 
much information as possible about the candidates

"Every element of a candidate's background is r e l­
evant to voters," Morales said. "[Sanchez] does not 
have a public or political background; the only thing 
voters have is his business background."

Moore said voters can look at Morales' record and 
judge who he is based upon his life of public service, 
but the only way to judge Sanchez is based upon his 
record as a businessman.

Morales said he plans to bring up Sanchez's busi­
ness record at the upcoming debate Friday, which 
will be broadcast live in Austin.

"Mr. Sanchez has only released a limited amount of 
information," Morales said. "He continues to rely 
upon paid media, and I think that is insufficient... M r. 
Sanchez should be required to address these issues."

'Bones’

ra?

There is some­
thing about bad 
movies that just 
brings a anile to
our faces. They 
are just such a 
relief after watch­
ing pretentious 
directors tackle subjects that have been 
handled over and over and over again 
throughout cinematic history. Just last 
October, a giant smile spread across 
America with the release of the horror 
flick, Bones.

rapper/ Daily 

Bones did reasonably well for a movie 
that could very well have gone straight 
to video or debuted on USA Up All 
Night. If not for its charismatic star; the 
Texan 
venerable 
Ubiquitous Star of the Year, Snoop Dogg, 
the film very well might have been lost 
for all time. Bones, which tells the story 
of a pimp who comes back from the 
dead to take revenge on his killers after 
some kids turn his old haunt into a 
nightclub, captures the very wonder that 
we feel when we see bad movies.

With its ketchupy blood, dime store 
maggots, and hilarious dialogue like 
"I'm on a supernatural high," Bones is 
even more effective on the small screen 
than it was on the big screen. The dark 
sets that director Ernest Dickerson creat­
ed cater more to a lonely Friday night on 
your couch than a theater full of people. 
The movie still isn't scary, but is more 
enjoyable.

The best thing about bad movies on 
DVD is the commentary and Bones fea­
tures Dickerson, the screenwriter Adam 
Simon, and the star, Snoop Dogg. While 
the Doggfather doesn't talk too much 
during the commentary, his quietly 
delivered one liners overdubbed on the 
screen make Bones a treat to watch.

Dickerson and Simon also throw in 
some great insights by explaining which 
scenes were meant to be funny and how 
some shots are "Spielbergian." When 
examining their work, the creators criti­
cize their critics for taking the film too 
seriously when a disembodied head 
starts talking jive to his royal Doggness.

The D aily Texan Tuesday, February 26, 2 0 0 2 P age 15
Two o f New Line’s most 
anticipated releases, Bones’ 
and ‘Twin Peaks: Fire Walk 
With Me’hit shelves today

Dickerson never fails to tell the audience 
to look at the faces of the actors and see 
the actual fear in the contortions of their 
faces.

One of the features has the misleading 
title "Urban Gothic: Bones and its 
Influences." This might lead one to 
believe that the 19-minute documentary 
focuses on classic Italian horror films 
from the '60s and '70s and their influ­
ences on Bones.

Dickerson and the film's producers 
show shot by shot comparisons between 
their film and classics such like Whipping 
the Body. The makers of the film are tak­
ing themselves seriously and do bring 
up interesting comparisons. If an indi­
vidual watches Urban Gothic before see­
ing the actual film, they might even be 
able to take this seriously.

The second documentary, Digging Up 
Bones isn't nearly as entertaining as 
Urban Gothic, but does shed some 
insight on the making of the film. Also 
included on the disc are two versions of 
the music video, "Dogg Named Snoop." 
Bones was a great theatrical experience 
and with the loads of extras on this disc, 
it becomes an even better DVD experi­
ence. Any fans of Snoop or B horror 
films should not even think twice before 
they unleash the dogg on their DVD col­
lection.

—Ashok Chandra

'Twin Peaks: 
Fire Walk With 
Me’

Expectations were high when David 
Lynch announced his plans to film Twin 
Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. A cinematic 
prequel to the much-praised television 
series, the 1992 film was set to chronicle 
the final days of murdered homecoming 
queen Laura Palmer and, in doing so, 
answer questions, clarify ambiguities 
and expose secrets.

The same can be said for the Fire Walk 
With Me DVD. Fans petitioned New

Line Home Video to release a special 
edition that would include the multiple 
hours of deleted scenes and subplots. 
Some expected a nchqr fuller portrait of 
Twin Peaks and its idiosyncratic popu­
lace. Others wanted a reason to like the 
movie, expecting a film that could've 
been had it been edited differently.

In both cases — today and 10 years 
ago — the end product is sure to crush 
any hope for clarity.

The film itself proves to be Lynch at 
his most unruly. Twin Peaks: iire Walk 
With Me abandoas any semblance it 
may have with the series by shoving the 
show's dark undercurrent into the fore­
front. A sort of lost List I iighway, the film 
quickly disintegrates into an undisci­
plined exercise in symbolism that begs 
many more questions than it chcxises to 
answer.

It's been said that the mov ie divides 
the true Twin Peaks faas from the 
wannabes. And while the DVD may 
have united them in the common cause 
of recovering footage, the release will 
inevitably divide them once again. 
There are no deleted scenes to be found 
on the DVD, due mostly to rights issues 
over the footage. Instead, New line 
Home Video has attached a pitiful 
excuse for a consolation prize: a 30- 
minute "documentary" so unprofes­
sional, so uninformative, so indescrib­
ably bad, it merits a petition of rts own 
demanding a little more effort from the 
other side.

As the only other extra besides a the­
atrical trailer, this near mockumentarv 
plunders from the cast and crew inter­
views done for the Twin Peaks: First 
Season DVD. Many of the segments are 
nonsensically spliced together with little 
or no intent in mind. Perhaps there 
wasn't much material to work with in 
the first place (half the cast can't help 
but express their dislike for Fire Walk 
With Me), but including an extra like 
this smacks of a studio capitalizing on 
fan interest and nothing more.

T H E G U E S T
artist Phantom Planet 
la b el Epic Records

At first, the opening track of The 
Guest, Phantom Planet's major-label 
debut comes across like Weezer Lite. 
The track — also the first single — is 
aptly titled "California," and it's full of 
snimmery West-Coast pop hooks. But 
soon after the track subsides and the 
Weezer comparisons ride high, 
it 
becomes clear that Phantom Planet 
actually owes more to influences of the 
other coast, and even across it.

like a 

The Guest is a rock album full of rich 
melodies and studio-enhanced preci­
sion — a bit too glossy at times, but 
often more direct than derivative. Lead 
singer Alexander Greenwald is very 
good at sounding 
foreign 
exchange student from Birmingham, 
England, who somehow wound up in 
Birmingham, Ala. He can shift between 
a very European angst to a positively 
sincere sense of American suburban 
depression. In a way, thaTs what makes 
Phantom Planet a safe — albeit geeky 
— alternative to more in-your-face 
forces like The Strokes. These are the 
guys who know the inside of their bed­
room more than the inside of some 
nightclub. Odds are they spend more 
time listening to songs than composing 
them. And that's fine, for now.

The Guest, for all its young innocence 
spiked with nostalgic genre-borrowing, 
is still a nicely conceived collection of 
songs. "One Ray of Sunlight" is a sweet 
little ballad about finding hope. "Hey 
Now Girl" is the Guided By Voices for­
mula of fast and sharp pop/rock that

sounds too good and ends too soon The 
album is so catchy and light that you 
forgive the blatant sampling of OK 
Computer-era Radiohead on#"Tum Smile 
Shift Repeat" or the Travis-made-sim- 
pler sounds of "Anthem."

There are even times when Phantom 
Planet can break into bigger; louder 
sounds with energetic tunes such as 
"All Over Again." Kudos to them and 
ace producers Mitchell Froom and 
Tchad Blake for allowing their sweep to 
flow between tírese concise rockers and 
the more grandiose scope of songs such 
as the string-heavy, Beatles-friendly 
"Wishing Well."

Where they come from is abundantly 
clear throughout The Guest; but what 
remains a mystery is where they'll go 
from here. The record is full of promise, 
and it's still one of the best new rock 
records you'll find this month. But the 
band sits atop a tightrope — a risky spot 
where they could fall into coftping tunes 
from Thom Yorke's songbook all career 
long. The Guest is more than enough evi­
dence, though, 
that these guys have 
some talent and even a few great rock 
songs in their limited catalog.

O U T S ID E T H E L IN E S
artist Cory Morrow 
la b e l Write On Records

Local star Cory Morrow has finally 
released his latest album, Outside the 
Lines. Morrow is arguably one of the 
best Texas country singers around, one 
of those names that is highly recogniza­
ble as long as you don't cross the state 
line. We can only wish him on to further 
fame; his new album is upbeat and

catchy, dominated by carefully harm tv 
nized guitar sounds and Morrow's 
clear, country voice. Think Pat Green 
(the two released an album in 2001 
called Songs We Wish We'd Written) with 
smoother vocals.

The title track, "Outside the Lines," 
with its rock guitar sounds, is the 
favorite. "Friend of the Devil" is also 
humorous, bright and surprisingly 
cheerful for a man singing about out­
running the law; it features some terrif­
ic bluegrass-sounding fiddle work. He 
makes an unexpected foray into accor­
dion-driven tejano with "Dance by the 
Rio Grande," which he pulls off sur­
prisingly well. Track 10, "Misty Shade 
of Blue," is a little bit of funk, a little bit 
of guitar and anything but ... well, 
misty.

There are a few places where the 
album falls flat. The contemplative "In 
Spite of Spite" is just too spite-less for 
Morrow's style; it ends up sounding too 
much like what your parents listen to. 
"Straight to Hell" is yet another rendi­
tion of "how he doesn't live-right," and 
lacks a catchy chorus to redeem it. The 
album also falls a little short lyrically. 
When Morrow sings about how he'd 
"walk a thousand miles" for "the apple 
of my eye," it's a little difficult to 
empathize with him.

In all, though, the album does pretty 
well for itself. It's a bit more country 
than his earlier work and includes some 
more classically country instrumenta­
tion. Morrow's voice is endearingly 
Texan, and the musical side of things is 
perfect. He's not coloring outside the 
lines here; but when he sounds so good 
inside them, why bother to change?

see of her was when she was climbing 
into her limousine. Then she was off, 
but not before making her driver stop 
to give a woman standing in the crowd

given to her by the Mayor. "Celia says 
these are for you ma'am," the driver 
said. Celia rolled the window down as

rolled it back up, and seconds later, the

Apparently, her late father, who was a 
composer in Mexico, was the first per­

tell her I was coming," she said. "I 
don't think she would have recog­

With over 80 albums to her name, 
Celia Cruz has touched the lives of 
millions. According to allmusic.com, 
the ten-time Grammy nominee's first 
pair of shoes was a gift from a tourist 
for whom she sang. "Through my 
music, I teach generations of people 
about my culture and the happiness 
that is found in just living life," Cruz 
said in a 1997 interview regarding her 
father's dream of Cruz becoming a 
teacher. "As a performer, I want peo­

another concert for Austin: "Maybe

hoped this wouldn't be her last. 
Maybe then, we can put all those 
pesky seats at Bass Concert Hall aside 
so we can dance more comfortably.

The Frank Erwin Center is without a 
doubt the worst place to see a concert 
in Austin; but sometimes, a big-name 
act like Dylan can make it worthwhile. 
This was the third time I had seen 
Dylan play, and he put more energy 
into the show than I had seen him give 
before. It was fun to see him dance 
around the stage, do Dwight Yoakam- 
like leg swivels as he played and visi­
bly joke with the band onstage. He still 
sings like he's got a bullfrog caught in 
his throat, and he sounds far worse 
live than on his albums. But Dylan's 
an amazing songwriter who is capable 
of reaching out to people of all ages, as 
the mixed crowd at his show attested.
Speaking about her first Dylan 
show, 20-year-old Mindy Willeford 
noted, "H e's a Willie Nelson kind of 
guy — his songs appeal to everybody.
' Plus, his harmonica sounds really 

cool."

Bob Dylan, as he proved Sunday 
night, is a walking testament to the 
fact that sometimes coolness can be 
ageless.

By Stayton Bonner
Daily Texan Staff

Wearing a black cowboy hat and suit, 
Bob Dylan walked onto the Frank Erwin 
Center stage armed with a new album's 
worth of material and a full backing 
band. Touring 
in support of his 
Grammy-nominated album, Love and 
Theft, Dylan's Sunday night stop in 
Austin was the last show of the U.S. leg 
of his tour before he and the band head 
to Europe this spring. Though a large 
crowd was in attendance, the show ini­
tially lacked energy due to the largely 
reserved baby-boomer audience and the 
Erwin Center's antiseptic ambience. 
E>ylan and his band, though, ultimately 
got the aging crowd on its feet and built 
up enough momentum to end his US. 
tour with a bang.

With acoustic guitar in hand, Dylan 
opened the show with a country sound. 
The initial folksy set was instrumentally 
solid, with band members Larry 
Campbell and Austin native Charlie 
Sexton switching off on different 
acoustic instruments. "Searching for a 
Soldier's Grave" was a particularly 
strong number from the acoustic set, 
sounding like an old bluegrass song 
with Dylan and his band kicking har­
mony vocals over a trickling mandolin 
and harmonica.

With the fifth song "Maggie's Farm," 
Dylan broke out his electric guitar and 
got the crowd really excited for the first 
time that night by doing a solo. But what 
really brought the crowd to their feet

A couple songs later, Dylan shed his 
electric guitar for another acoustic set, 
though this time, the tunes weren't as 
mellow. "Visions of Johanna" and "O ne 
Too Many Mornings" saw Dylan w ail­
ing away on his harmonica, w hile 
'Tangled Up in Blue" built up a m om en­
tum that had the crowd cheering. After 
from his new album 
two 
("Sum mer Days" and "Sugar Baby"), 
Dylan ended the set with h is classic 
"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35." Though 
the song seemed outdated with all the 
fortysomethings chanting "everybody 
must get stoned" with Dylan, the tune 
ended up turning into a long jam that 
allowed all the band members to show 
off their chops.

Dylan's first encore saw him playing 
audience favorites "Like A Rolling 
Stone" and "Blowiri In the W ind," as 
well as his new song "Honest With M e" 
At this point, most of the audience was 
on its feet. By the time the band Came out 
for the second encore and delivered a 
rousing version of "All Along the 
Watchtower," the crowd w as really 
whipped up and cheering along as 
Dylan and his cohorts ended 
the 
evening on an energetic note.

One could almost feel an awkward 
tension within the audience during the 
first couple of songs at the Celia Cruz 
concert Sunday night at the Bass Concert 
Hall. Some of the lucky couples who 
were able to get up and dance along the 
edges of the first two rows were admired 
by those of us in the audience whose 
seats wouldn't allow us to feel comfort­
able doing the same. I mean, is it really 
physically possible to sit down to salsa 
music like Celia's? Nonetheless, there 
were only a few random people stand­
ing instead of sitting, and some probably 
blocked others' views. It wasn't until 
Cruz's fourth song, "La Vida es un 
Carnaval" (life is a Carnival), that the 
audience's uncontrollable urge to get up 
and dance was revealed. About one- 
third of the audience could be seen danc­
ing in the small crevices between their 
seat and the row in front of them. It was 
perfect timing for the song and the per­
fect opportunity for the audience to final­
ly relieve themselves of tine incredibly 
contagious salsa waves beaming from 
the 78-year-old Cuban native known as 
"La Reina de la Salsa."

Between songs, Cruz would encour­
age the audience to get up and clap, say­
ing the audience's energy was what kept 
her going. It was obvious the energy was 
a two-way effort during about the eighth 
song when all the audience members 
still seated stood up tc* join the rest of 
Bass in an all-out celebration. Cruz and

her 12-member orchestra performed 
"Guantanamera," one of the most inter­
national of Cuban songs. Sitting and 
watching was over after that Cruz came 
back to encore with "La Vida es un 
Carnaval" for the second time, the audi­
ence more riled up than ever, and ended 
her performance with a 10th sorig that 
was a fitting end to the show. Earlier in 
the concert, the pink-, purple- and green- 
sequined icon sang songs including the 
late Tito Puente's classic, "Oye Como 
Va," and a duet with her husband, 
Pedro. Cruz, known for her vibrant use 
of the word "azúcar," joked about giving 
so much "azúcar," or sugar, throughout 
the years that she had given her dear 
Pedro diabetes.

At an after-party, Mayor Gus Garcia 
presented Cruz with a giant bouquet of 
flowers, as well as a certificate proclaim­
ing Feb. 24 "Celia Cruz Day" in Austia 
An extremely appreciative Cruz accept­
ed enthusiastically by thanking God and 
by acknowledging the support of her 
fans. Without the support and energy o f ' 
her fans and without the love to dance to 
her music, nobody would know who 
Cruz was, she said after accepting the 
honor. Cruz left moments later, only 
signing about two autographs along the 
way. [Downstairs, Cruz was taking pic­
tures with a group of the concert hall's 
janitors. Once the first elevator after hers 
arrived, this time full of after-party- 
goers, Cruz was promptly hurried away 
by her representatives. The last I got to

After 29 years including three nation­
al championships, a 98-percent gradua­
tion rate, one highly publicized choking 
incident and countless profanity-laced 
tirades, Robert Montgomery Knight 
was fired as head basketball coach of 
Indiana University in Sept. 2000.

And after 20 wins as head coach of 
Texas Tech in less than one full season, 
Knight makes his first appearance in 
the capital tity of the Lone Star State 
Tuesday night at the Frank Erwin 
Center.

Always sporting his once-red-but- 
now-black sweater to contrast sharply 
with his lily-white hair and penetrating 
stare, the legend of "The General" has 
been growing with every chair he 
throws on the court, every whip he 
brings to a press conference and every 
player or reporter he verbally castigates 
within earshot of a microphone.

However, the legend of Bobby 
Knight didn't give rise to any contro­
versy until 1985, when Knight granted 
a sports reporter by the name of John 
Feinstein an unprecedented all-access 
pass to his team's tumultuous season. 
Feinstein was privy to every practice, 
team meeting, strategy session and 
mid-game huddle; the end result was A 
Season on the Brink, the best-selling 
sports book of all time.

Capitalizing on the media circus sur­
rounding Knight's revival of a once- 
struggling Texas Tech basketball pro­
gram, ESPN is releasing its first made- 
on 
for-television movie 
Feinstein's book.

based 

A Season on the Brink, starring Brian 
Dennehy as the fiery Knight, has been 
advertised since early December and 
will air March 10 at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

While it's difficult to disassociate

In their effort to demonstrate what a 
bastard Knight can be to his players, 
though, Dennehy and ESPN miss what 
actually intrigues people about the 
coaching legend.

Despite his well-known temper and 
in-your-face motivational techniques, 
Knight is actually loved by many of his 
players and most of the state of Indiana. 
The reason for this near-cult following 
is that Knight is able to transform 
immature children into respectable 
gentleman in just the four short years 
he coaches them on and oft the basket­
ball court.

For every five scenes that show 
Knight insult a player with seemingly 
mean-spirited slanderous statements, 
there is only one scene in which Knight 
treats one of his players like a son and 
teaches him a valuable lesson in life.

With a basic understanding of the 
rocky history between Knight and 
ESPN, this slight exaggeration of 
Knight's dark side is excusable and 
doesn't detract from the great story 
Feinstein tells in his book.

But whereas the book was written 
and released within a year of the actual 
events, the movie is recounting events 
that happened over 15 years ago. Since 
most of ESPN's viewers will have 
knowledge of what Knight has been up 
to since the 1985-86 season, it is difficult 
to accept the abrupt end of the movie 
with the abrupt end of the season.

But maybe that's what sequels are 

for.
