They also get more blame for some things than they deserve,” — William Cunningham, retired UT chancellor Retired official evaluates his tenure me. Matthew Cook Daily Texan Staff UT System Chancellor William H. Cunningham ended his 15-year career with system Wednesday. the UT Cunningham announced his resig­ nation last June after being chancel­ lor since 1992. Cunningham, who was UT president from 1985-1992, joined the UT faculty in 1971 and was dean of the UT College and was dean of the UT College of Business Administration and dean of the grad­ uate business program. The Cunningham administration initiated several projects, including the South Texas/Border Initiative, the establishment of UT TeleCampus for distance education, and the cre­ ation of the University of Texas Investment Management Company (UTIMCO). "The thing I'm most proud of is the South Texas/Border Initiative," Cunningham said. "It fundamentally restructured higher education in South Texas. It added $500 million into a portion of Texas that had been historically under-served in opportu­ nities for higher education. We've lit­ erally built new schools there." Cunningham said he never set any specific goals when he w as appointed chancellor, although he had areas that specifically interested him. "Certainly one of my goals was to increase funding for higher educa­ tion," Cunningham said. "I wanted to do something about South Texas and that became an early priority for He added that increasing the rate of return of the Permanent University Fund, a $7.7 billion endowment that finances various projects throughout the UT and A&M systems, w as another key issue. He said the administration w as able to address this of the Proposition 17, a provision allowing UTIMCO to spend up to 7 percent of the PUF market value annually. through passage Cunningham said the most chal­ lenging aspect of his job was dealing with the political process. Cunningham said controversy was part of his life as a public figure. "I think public figures get more credit for some things than they deserve," Cunningham said. "They also get more blame for some things than they deserve. Public figures in general should expect some contro­ versy. It's the price of admission to the game." In 1994, the Board of Regents voted to name a new molecular biology building after Jam es R. Moffett, CEO of Freeport-McMoRan Inc., after Moffett and Freeport donated $3 mil- li9n. Students and faculty criticized Cunningham because he served on board of directors of the company, which was the subject of allegations of environmental and human rights abuses. Cunningham came under After Freeport-McMoRan threat­ ened to sue three UT professors who spoke out against the company, Cunningham resigned from its board. fire again after a 1988 report by the Texas Faculty association showed that he received a $99,000 raise during the two previous budget years In March See CUNNINGHAM, page 2 VOL. 100, N Bush promises civil rights reforms Two historically black colleges to get extra money Julie Nolen Daily Texan Staff Gov. George W. Bush has promised the U.S. Department of Education that he will resolve past civil-rights com­ plaints against Texas by funding improvements for two historically black colleges and their recruitment and retainment programs. The programs, intended for black and Hispanic stu­ dents, were created to maintain federal­ ly mandated minority levels in higher education. Bush signed an agreement with the department this month committing Texas to creating high-demand academ­ ic programs at Prairie View A&M University Southern University. The pact also includes new facilities and beautification efforts for the campuses, although no specific costs have been named. Texas and " I want all Texans to have an oppor­ tunity to enjoy the benefits of our state's higher education system," Bush said in a written statement. Bush added that strengthening these universities is important to ensure that every Texan has access to a quality, affordable education. Under the agreement, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board will develop a comprehensive plan for improving the two state-supported schools. The plan will involve improv­ including ing academic programs, Prairie View's engineering, architecture and construction, juvenile justice and 1 nursing schools. Prairie View A&M University President Charles A. Hines said he is grateful to Bush for his involvement with this pact. "He has been one constant in this issue with his support and visibility," Hines said. Hines added that Bush's recommen­ dation is the first step to ensuring equal­ ity in higher education for minorities. He said the next step will occur when the state legislature decides on a plan of action in November. While affirmative action in college admissions has been effectively ended since a 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling known as Hopwood, the Bush agreement calls for the state to enhance race-based recruitment and retention programs, thus ensuring more minority students college degrees.

Chris Mihm's dream was to be a professional basketball player. The May 12 announcement that Mihm's dream was about to come true ended months of speculation about the Texas All- American center's future as a Longhorn. "I have the opportunity to fulfill my lifelong dream," Mihm said in a press con­ ference as he announced his intentions to forego his senior year at Texas and enter the NBA draft. "In the end, the timing seemed right." After the Longhorns were eliminated in the second round of the NCAA tourna­ ment in March, Mihm began weighing the pros and cons of leaving school early for the guaranteed millions that result from being an NBA lottery pick. He said some of the biggest factors in his decision were the results of an NBA draft questionnaire revealing he would "definitely be one of the top five picks." "My draft status this year appears to be very favorable," he said. The New Jersey Nets own the top pick in the June 28 draft. Other teams believed to be interested in Mihm are the Chicago Bulls, who draft fourth, and the Orlando Magic, who own picks No. 5, 10 and 13 See MIHM, page 2 INSIDE Summer SOUNDS May brought big acts to Austin.

V isit the Daily Texan online at http://www.dailytexan.utexas.edu Veterans oppose U.S. aid to Colombia Jude Nolen Daily Texan Staff In the "war against drugs," many turning military veterans are against Congress and turning in their military honors. One such veteran, Sylvester Salcedo, a retired lieutenant com­ mander for the US. Navy, returned his 1999 medal of achievement for participating in the Drug War to President Clinton last summer. The return of the medal was in protest of the military aid proposed by Congress and the president of the Colombian government. "The minute I jumped on the plane to go to Columbia and fight their drug war I began to think of who's left at home," he said. "The police are, and they've begun to for­ get that they're officers of peace and began to think of themselves more as warriors." The veterans, from various back­ grounds, are joining together in recognition of the anticipated esca­ lation of U.S. military involvement in the 40 year-old Colombian civil war against its own drug problem. "The war on drugs has become more of a war on ourselves," he said. "It's an unwinnable war at that" The Clinton administration has proposed a $1.7 billion effort to fund and support foe fight against drugs in Columbia. The money, if die proposal is passed, will increase land military forces and also air technology, such as several helicop­ ters to search out farms growing illegal narcotics, including coca, the basic ingredient in cocaine. The proposal has already passed in of the U.S. House Representatives and is currently awaiting Senate approval. Salcedo and the other veterans said that entering the Colombian civil war would involve U.S. mili­ tary personnel in a war against well-armed, well-financed and motivated guerrilla warfare in which the enemy is not always eas­ ily identified.

They will also hire top-tier profes­ sors from outside if necessary. The donation is the largest amount ever given to the University by an individ­ ual or couple. Red McCombs: gave $53 million to UT College of Business A program being planned will establish $2 million faculty endow­ ments for professors in the business school, said Robert May, dean of the Red McCombs School of Business. One million dollars given by a single donor will be matched with $1 million of the money given by McCombs. May said he expects 45 chairs to be conceived as a result of McCombs' donation. Four people are now "seriously considering" making the matching contribution of $1 million dollars. May expects at least 12 people to match funds by the end of the We're Texas capital campaign.

Burck to serve as interim chancellor Matthew Cook Daily Texan Staff The UT System Board of Regents appointed Dan Burck, current executive vice chancellor for business affairs, as interim chancellor while the search continues for a perm anent successor for now retired Chancellor William Cunningham .

Mihm leaves Texas as the top shot-blocker in school history (264), ranks second in double-doubles (47), second in rebounding (945) and 13th in scoring (1,404 points). In all, he holds 12 school records. “Part of the college experience is learning how to make mature choices and tough decisions," Mihm said. "I realize I have a lot to learn, but I'm ready for the next challenge. I believe I can gain strength and experience playing in the NBA, and that will hap­ pen best if I devote my full attention to working out, practicing, and learning from coaches." Texas coach Rick Barnes said while he would have liked to have had Mihm's services for one more season, losing players to the NBA is a sign of a successful program. "I hope this is not the last time we go through this," Bames said. “We are always going to try and recruit the best players, and when we recruit those players we are going to look out for their best inter­ ests." Mihm leaves a hole in the Texas lineup, but Bames said next year will showcase a "quicker" Texas team. "I'm excited, because it will be a challenge for all of us. We will be a very young team next year," Bames said. Along with a talented recruiting class that includes M cDonald's All-American Brian Boddicker, the Longhorns will also gain the services of swingman Maurice Evans, who sat out this sea­ son after transferring from Wichita State. "This team will take on a totally new identity," said Evans, who led the Missouri Valley Conference and finished seventh in the nation with a scoring average of 22.6 points per game in 1998-99. "We have a lot of good players coming back. Mihm will definitely be missed, but hopefully we can rebound from this situation." Mihm said he is determined to complete his col­ lege education, but if he returns as a student, there will be no final year on the basketball court. Because he recently signed with an agent, he forfeited his last year of eligibility. "I'm leaving UT for the moment, but I'll always be a Longhorn," he said. "I look forward to finding other ways to contribute to the program." New Jersey will draft a big man. Owner Lewis Katz said, “ We must have lost 30 or 40 games in the last two minutes due to a lack o f second shots or getting defensive rebounds.” Absolutely. Cincinatti’s Kenyon Martin may be the best talent in the draft, but New Jersey already has Keith Van Horn, who plays M artin’s position. The Nets may also trade down. Vancouver is set at point guard (Mike Bibby) and small forward (Shareef Abdur-Rahim). With the No. 2 pick, they should grab the best post player still available after the Nets’ pick. Not really. Bryant “ Big Country” Reeves is the Grizzlies’ center, and he has a long-term contract. If Mihm is available at No. 2, Chicago will be interested in moving up. Every year, the Clippers seem to be in the lottery. Two years ago the took a center with the No. 1 pick, and last year they nabbed a small forward. They need help everywhere else. L.A. drafted seven-footer Michael Olowokandi two years ago, so logical think­ ing says Mihm would not be drafted here. But logic doesn’t always apply to the Clippers. » With the No. 1 pick last year, Chicago drafted Elton Brand, this year’s co-rookie o f the year. He plays power forward, but the Bulls still need lots of help down low. Bulls’ GM Jerry Krause loves Mihm and has scout­ ed numerous UT games in the past two years. If it looks like Mihm will be gone, Krause might offer No.4 and No. 7 to get him. Orlando ju s t missed the playoffs, so they aren’t as bad as this pick. They have expressed a willing­ ness to package picks No. 5, 10 and 13 in order to grab a dominant player. Orlando has reportedly offered all three picks for No. 1. Who they want is unknown, but both Mihm and Martin are options. The team may also sign San Antonio's Tim Duncan.

LA Red McCombs donates $53 million to business school McCOMBS, from 1 ties. Most of the gifts will go to faculty develop­ ment, academic programs and scholarships. The premiere faculty that will hopefully be attracted by the new endowments should also attract the best students and prevent Texans from having to leave the state for an outstanding busi­ ness education, Faulkner said, adding that the result should be an annual ranking among the nation's top 10 business schools. "We want to show students that it's not true that you should have to go 1,800 miles to reach a great business school," Faulkner said. McCombs, who is often approached for philan­ thropic causes, cited the size of the business school and its impact on Texas and around the nation as reasons for choosing to donate to the institution. "The scope of the business school at the University of Texas is huge. It affects the lives of all Texans," said McCombs, who called the donation an investment in UT students. The business school, which has consistently ranked among the nation's top 20 business schools, is among the nation's leaders in the num­ ber of students it graduates. McCombs, owner of the Minnesota Vikings, credited UT President Larry Faulkner as being largely responsible for his interest in donating to the school. He said he was interested when Faulkner discussed naming a school after a bene­ factor who considerably helps the school. Faulkner said McCombs will allow the business school full discretion in choosing what the money will be used for. "Mr. McCombs has given us great latitude with the donation," Faulkner said. "Ninety percent or more will be placed in endowments." The business school set a goal of $130 million Top 5 UT-Austin D onors o f A ll Time No. NAME DONATION 2. Anonymous donor ■ 4.

The speech was co-sponsored by the Drug Policy Forum of Texas - Austin and the Austin Peace and Justice Coalition Education Fund Forum, who each paid for Salcedo to come out of their own funding. Salcedo and 75 other veterans have written a letter to the U.S. drug-policy chief, General Barry McCaffrey (Ret.), urging reconsideration of the increased U.S. military involvement in the Colombian drug war. The letter includes an overview of the veterans' skepticism, including the possible disruption of a peace process if the U.S. gets involved and a past record of increased drugs available after U.S. involvement. The letter ends with a call to the Senate to con­ vene an open discussion with the veterans before it makes its decision. Salcedo said that though he does not know if President Clinton has seen the letter, he has received confirmation from drug enforcement officials. in Besides protesting American efforts Colombia, the veterans also have voiced their con­ cerns about the nationwide drug war. Salcedo proposes that the $1.7 billion be used at home instead of overseas in hopes to defeat our own battles. He also added that the result of the "war against ourselves" is the number of first time drug offenders in jail, an estimated 400,000. "There is a better procedure than locking them up," he said. "In other means, re-introduce them into the community through treatment centers and prevention programs." Doug Zachary, spokesmen for the Drug Policy Forum of Texas - Austin said he wanted Salcedo to speak in order to reach out to the country about the implications of the current drug policies. Ip?

End of the line for L.A.’s dream of world-class subway LOS ANGELES — It looks like the end of the line for Los Angeles' dream of a w orld-class subw ay system. On June 24, the latest, 6.3-mile leg of the M etro Rail subw ay will open, linking dow n­ tow n w ith the crow ded San Fernando Valley. And there it ends, perhaps perm anently. After decades of scandals, political squabbles, lawsuits, cost overruns and the cracking of the sta r-stu d d e d on H ollyw ood Boulevard in 1995, Los Angeles C ounty voters in 1998 banned further use of local tax money for subw ays. pav em en t State and federal transportation money u su ­ ally require local m atching funds. So for the foreseeable future, Los Angeles' underground system will be just 17.4 miles long, or six miles shorter than originally planned. At $4.5 billion, or about $259 million per mile, it will be perhaps the costliest subw ay system in U.S. history.

Ridership was pro­ jected at nearly 300,000 people a day. Voters approved several tax increases to pay for it. to Today, however, the subw ay-and-rail system covers less than 60 miles. The final piece planned, a 13.7-mile stretch of rail, opens in 2003. A nd ridership is just 144,000 a day. By com parison, the N ew York City subw ay system alone handles 4 million riders a day.

Clinton addresses security, tra d e and Middle Eastern Peace on E uropean t our Leaders balk at defense proposal By The Associated Press LISBON, Portugal — Trxing to calm fears of a nuclear arms race that would leave Europe vulnerable, President Clinton prom­ ised Wednesday to share anv new missile defense technology with U.S. allies, saying "it would be unethical" to keep it solely for America's protection. Still, European leaders remained uneasy about the proposed American system. Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Gutern's, speaking for the European Union, declared, "we have — I'll say all of us — a main concern" about the U.S. program. Addressing a sweep of foreign policy problems at a news conference on his sec­ ond day in Europe, Clinton also said there was "a much greater sense of urgency" in the Middle East peace process after Israel's troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon. "All the balls are up in the air," he said. Quickening the pace of Middle East diplomacy, Clinton will meet here Thursday with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. He also touched base by telephone Wednesday with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The president spoke in the manicured gardens of the 18th century Queluz Palace at the conclusion ot an inconclusive meeting with Guterres, who holds the current chair­ the 15-nation European manship of Commission, EU Commission and President Romano Prodi. The meeting failed to resolve trade dis­ putes with Europe over sales of American beef, bananas and genetically modified food and tax breaks for U.S. exports. There was no sense of dismay, though, as all sides sought to emphasize areas of agree­ ment, such as rebuilding the Balkans and combatting AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in poor countries.

W ednesday. Security Adviser Sandy Berger went golfing after the talks. Lisbon was the first stop on a week-long journey that will take Clinton to Berlin and then to Moscow for a weekend summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Clinton also will stop m Ukraine on the way home Monday. Despite U.S. efforts to lowrer expectations for the meeting with Putin, Clinton said that "we might make more headway than most people expect. I'm just not sure." But he said he would be surprised it he and Putin bridged all their differences on missile in defenses and Russia's crackdown Chechnya. White House aides said later Clinton's optimism was about an expected agreement for the United States and Russia to destroy 34 tons of militaiy-grade plutonium on each side. It is enough plutonium to make tens of thousands of nuclear weapons. Russia strenuously opposes U.S. develop­ ment of an anti-missile system, arguing would upset the strategic balano betx Washington and Moscow. C ritics ot th system say it will prompt Russia and Chu­ to build up their nuclear arsei ils. tin sions with Moscow and separate the I nit. States from Europe's security. Clinton has promised to announce. d sion within months on w hether the I States will proceed with the program estimated to cost $30 billion 11 is dt will follow a July test flight of an intercepts rocket after mixed results in e a rlu , tt is Clinton hinted that the United Start would be willing to shirt' its missile defen technology w ith Russia, America's Cok War adversary. He said it was inconceivable to develo the technology for a missile shield again- new threats and keep it from "civilized nations" that are in sync with the United States. Coroner asks for help finding more E. coli victims ■ Tests indicate water infected Tuesday, w ere adults at hospitals ir< Walkerton and London, Ontario, w hen some victims in critical condition wt re air lifted. west of Toronto, amid allegations that offi­ cials failed to promptly warn residents. By The Associated Press TORONTO — O ntario's coroner urged the public W ednesday to notify authorities if they think anyone who died in the last two weeks exhibited symptom s of E. coli infection, thought so far to have killed as many as nine people. The call followed the deaths this week of two patients w ho were hospitalized with the intestinal bacteria, which causes cramps, diarrhea, nausea, fever and, in extreme cases, kidney failure. O ntario Prem ier Mike H arris announced a public inquiry into the water contamination in Walkerton, a mral com­ m unity of 5,000 people located 90 miles "We have responsibility to the victims and their families to get to the bottom of this tragedy," he said. The investigation will be led by a sitting or retired judge, he said. Health officials have confirm ed six adults and a 2-year-old child have died from the contamination. Dr. Jim Cairns, deputy chief coroner in Ontario', said his office was investigating those deaths and w hether two others that occurred on May 15 and May 19, before any public w arning of the contamination, were related to E. coli. More than 20 people remain hospital­ ized, including one considered terminally ill, and as many as 1,000 have been sick­ ened in and around Walkerton over the past two weeks from the E. coli that infil­ trated the w ater supply. The two latest fatalities, on Monday and "We are devastated," said J.C. Pouvv, th neighbor of one of the victims, 56-year -old Betty Trushinski. "She was the life or the neighborhood, always sm iling, always had something to say." Dr. James Young, the province's chiei coroner, asked for Walkerton residents U notify authorities if thev think anvone v\ ho died in the past *few weeks max ha exhibited sym ptom s associated with th. contamination. In particular, he said, anyone w-ho drank Walkerton w ater or suffered from diarrlu before dying should be reported. The cause of the contamination remains unknown, but officials suspect flooding that followed a heavy storm on Max may have caused E. coli bacteria on animal m anure to enter the Walkerton wells. ! 4 T h e Da ily T exan JUNE 1, 2000 T he Daily T exan E d itor Cecily Sailer Opinum s expressed in l'he Daily Tcum a ic tfx>se o f tlto editor, die editorial huard or w riler of the Associate Editors Karen Cross Marshall Maher Michael Wilt article. T h e y atv not necessanlv those of the I 'niven.it \ admin is trntion, the Board ot Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board ot O perating Trustees VIEWPOINT Farewell to Cunningham It w as the best of tim es, it w as the w orst of tim es. As C hancellor W illiam C unningham steps down from his seat as CEO of the UT System today, the sam e could be said for his tenure. His legacy at the U niversity and the System em bodied the good, the bad, and yes, the ugly. Serving as a professor, as dean of U T 's Sch ool of B u si­ ness, president of the U niversity and then as head of the UT System , C unningham proved his ded ication to this university and to the system it heads. He w ill even be returning after a year to teach again in the business school. C unningham endured an era in UT history faced w ith obstacles ranging from the H opw ood d ecision to a se ri­ ous lack of state funding. U nder his lead ership, the UT System received an unprecedented increase in higher education appropriations from the Texas L egislatu re — state appropriations increased 22 percent per student per year during his eight-year tenure. He is also responsible for the South Texas Border Initiative, which opened up new ed u cational opportunities in the state by increasing funding for the five UT System institutions in the South Iexas and border areas. And follow ing his announcem ent to step down as chancellor, he proposed a $1.4 billion plan to address funding shortages at state u n iversities. These victories, though, are overshadow ed by the cu r­ rent state of the UT System and num erous occasions in which C unningham failed to meet the needs and co n ­ cerns o f students, faculty and staff. The highs w ere pretty high, but the m ore frequent low s nearly hit rock bottom . At tim es, our ch ancellor was practically a w alking co n ­ flict of interest who appeared to have no qualm s in tu rn ­ ing his back on the concerns o f students and faculty for the sake of his ow n bu siness interests — exem plified best by his h and ling of the Freeport-M cM oRan controversy in 1995. C unningham turned a deaf ear to the o u tcries of s tu ­ dents and faculty strongly opposed to the nam ing of the new m olecu lar biology building in honor o f Freeport CEO "Jim Bob" M offett, a m ajor d onor and personal friend o f C unningham 's. The protests were based on charges of hum an rights and environm ental abuses in one of F reep o rt's Ind one­ sian m ines. At the time, Cunningham w as a hand som ely paid m em ber of the Freeport board of d irectors. And last year it w as discovered that UT ad m in istra­ tors, inclu d ing Cunningham , violated the state co n stitu ­ tion in 1996 w hen they took m oney out of the Perm anent U niversity Fund to pay for private p artnership m anage­ m ent fees. In a con fid en tial letter, C unningham urged state au d i­ tors not to pursue investigation of the alleged violations becau se doing so w ould threaten future construction p ro jects. How ever, and fortunately for C unningham , these v iolatio ns were rem edied with the passage of P roposition 17, a state constitutional am endm ent that altered the investm ent and spending p olicies o f the P er­ m anent U niversity Fund. It could be said that C unningham 's departure would be for the best only if his successor could apply a new and m ore academ ic philosophy to the sy stem 's lead er­ ship. But after a year-long search for a ch an cello r yielded nothing, the UT System Board of R egents appointed Vice C han cello r for B usiness A ffairs Dan Burck as interim chancellor. W hile Burck is w h o leh earted ly su p p o rted by the regents, he is n o t an educator, nor does he possess a d o c­ torate. He is rooted in the business-m inded philosophy o f the UT System , yet he has been chosen to lead all 15 acad em ic institutions. The U niversity and th e UT System are frequently criti­ cized for their bo tto m -lin e attitudes — choosing to build hotels rather than pay the sta ff a livin g w age. With a businessm an at the helm , the System has no chance of im p rovin g its soiled relatio n sh ip and rep u tation with its ow n staff, let alone the Texas L egislatu re. By ou tlining a solid set of goals to strengthen the fu tu re o f the UT System , C unningham has d one Texas a g reat service. However, in ord er to ach ieve th o se goals, th e new chancellor must repair the reputation o f the sy s­ tem C unningham left behind. Help Wanted Want to get something off your chest?

System schools need more funding Jason Assir Daily Texan Columnist While the Universit\ can't grow in numbers to mirror the population of Dal­ las, it can't ignore it's responsibility to the entire state of Texas either. So where do the bright high-school students wanting to attend the University go once the admissions cap has been met? UT El Paso? UT Arlington? Another school in the UT system? Not if its a top-notch education they want. It is not uncommon to hear other schools in the UT System referred to as only slightly better than community col­ leges. People often look to the other uni­ versities within the System as halfway points to their entrance into the flagship university here in Austin. This frame of mind speaks volumes about the UT Sys­ tem, and higher education in Texas as a whole. Is it a problem that one or two public universities in Texas — the University and Texas A&M University — tower over all other public institutions in the state? Not really. The fact that one or two schools are better than the rest is natural — simply look to the universities of Washington or Virginia for further evi­ dence. But is it a problem that the rest of the schools are regarded as little more than community' colleges? Definitely. Our university has a great reputation because of the money it receives when compared to its component institutions. Conversely, other universities in the Sys­ tem possess reputations of a different sort as a result of the money they lack. Although this isn't a problem now, as Texas continues to lead the nation in pop­ ulation growth, more students will be denied admission to the University' and sent to less respected schools in the Sys­ tem — which translates into more Texans getting a second-rate education. How can we correct this? The obvious way is to distribute some of our resources to the other universities in the UT system — much like how the University of Cali­ fornia System operates. And at the very mention of this, many in the administra- ‘ tion see red. And rightly so. For nearly 30 years the UC System has been one of the best in the country, and this is not due solely to the reputation that Berkeley amassed in the '70s. It's the best in the country because all of its uni- yersities are well funded. But maybe the discrepancy between the University and the rest of the compo­ nent institutions in the UT system aro symptomatic of a much deeper ailment than an unequal distribution of resources. U T System Chancellor William Cunningham hinted as much in an article in The Austin American-Statesman. He wrote, Measured by state appropria­ tions per student, UT Austin is $1,500 behind the average f o r public flagship institutions in the 10 largest states and $7,100 behind the University of Califor­ nia at Berkeley." According to these figures, it appears that higher education isn't as high a pri­ ority to Texans as it is to residents in other states. And if thro is the case, perhaps the UT System needs to reevaluate its mis­ sion. Is the mission of the University of Texas system to select 48,000 students to reward with a quality education, or is its mission to educate all Texans who have a desire to learn? If the mission of the UT System is to educate Texans across the stah then we shouldn’t — especially with t!u new student cap — focus all of ui rest «urces on the University. Because in the long run, it's only hurting Texans. Assir is an English junior In other words I spend time advocating to the 1 .cgrolaturr why higher education, specifi- ealh the I I System, should be supported finaneiallv and in other w ays.

Getting music over the Internet, usually in the popular MP3 format, has become one of the more popular pas­ times for college students. God knows we don't have $ 17 to buy the actual CDs, so instead we log on and look carefully for non-copyrighted songs to copy. OK, stop laughing. It is almost certainly true that the vast majority of songs sent or copied over the Internet are actually illegal copies of copyrighted material. Of course the music moguls are none too pleased about not being able to take their very' large share of the pie, and thus the stage is set for yet another Internet battle royale. In one comer, we have the underdog — Napster.com. f or those of you who are still pay ing for music, Napster is a nifty piece of software that you can download onto your computer allowing you to search thousands of computers for MP3 music files and then easily down­ load them. The folks at Napster never actually possess the music themselves, they just provide a service whereby you can easily locate and get it for yourself. In the other comer we have some of the most power­ ful people in music, including the supergroup, Metalli- ca. It doesn't like the thought of people getting its music for free (at least not its studio versions, it apparently doesn't mind bootlegged concert material). The band hired a gaggle of lawyers to take those dam Napster folks to court. "We have nothing against the fans," the Metallica musicians claim. Therein lies the mb. If Napster is guilty of anything (and nothing has been decided in court yet) it is of being an accessory. The "true" criminals, the ones taking def­ inite action to illegally acquire the music and holding illegal copies — are indeed the "fans" themselves. Why not go after the individuals "abusing" the Napster sys­ tem rather than Napster itself? Well, for one, the musi­ cians are already taking heat for going after Napster. But suing fans, even ones illegally copying music, d oesn't look good in the press. Also, Napster prob­ ably has much deeper pockets than the average music dow'nloader. Thus, Metallica is not going after the criminals but rather the service they misuse. It's like fining the high­ way department for speeders. Technically, Napster is not an "Internet service provider," and is thus clearly protected from this type of legal action. But Napster is certainly not the only way to find MP3 music files. What is to stop Metallica from suing any search engine (say, Infoseek or Lycos) because they also allow people to rapidly locate and copy materials that might be copy­ righted? Because the powers that be feel that individual legal action is not cost efficient, thev attempt to shift the blame from the fans to Napster, which just shows the fans where the music is. You are the one deciding to break the law if you download it. Imagine it Congress decided that because auto manufacturers make cars that can break the speed limit, they (not the individual drivers) should be liable for all speeding tickets and should not sell cars to people who speed. If Napster loses this suit, vou can expect more attempts to constrain the sharing of information on the Internet. After all, Napster is just sharing the informa­ tion and giving you a slightly easier way to find and download the files. It is not the tool but the user who is to blame. Forsberg is a columnist for The Daily Cougar, student newspaper at the University of Houston THE FIRING LINE Creek diversity I am not associated with any fraternity and have never wanted to be, but equating their lack of "diversity' with racism is like concluding Shoal Creek is the Colorado River and a dry' Shoal Creek is the biggest threat to the Colorado. Certainly there is some slim connection between the two streams and that's about the relative size of frat diversity equated with the racism issue. The first half of the editorial lays out the facts of the situation. For instance, "there isn't any. specific evidence ... this is a place where people come who have something in common" and they' don't seek people who are "not like us." That may make frats exclusionary and short sited, but it doesn't make them racist. Using the editorial's three-plus-zero-equals-four logic, the Black Congressional Caucus is more racist than Jefferson Davis. Assuming that frats are composed of "pneppie white kids with SUV's and daddy's credit card," one may conduct a simple survey and legitimately conclude if they are actually racist. Start with the following. My understanding is that pro-football player Ricky Williams is on campus to finish his degree. He has a laige SUV and a larger credit card. This would seem to fit fraternities' criteria. Ask Ricky to apply for membership to the six most allegedly racist frats. If these frats don't take him in, you have likely got some defensible facts to fit your racism conclu­ sion. Although, more likely, they all will throw open the gilded doors to welcome him and pitch a keg party and a Jeep rodeo if he merely asks to join. I suspect director Quentin Tarantino probably has it about right when he says our country has a large problem with social and financial inequities that many people confuse with racism. I hope you will get the opportunity to interview him on this topic. It will make for a more interesting editorial. JJ. Theisen Austin resident Texas m eans business I have three statements to make towards the administration concerning the chang­ ing of the UT College of Business Admin­ istration to the Red McCombs School of Business. First, why don't the students on this campus get to decide the name of their college for which they pay for. Second, brand names in any industry are an asset and should not be forfeited at any cost, they should be valued for what they are worth. Third, Texas means business not Red McCombs. I would like to add that Red McCombs did indeed give a generous amount of money which is to be received with the utmost gratitude. Individuals such as he are rare and much appreciated. Katy Blackburn accounting sophomore Colum nist lacks reality Mr. Smulkowski, a columnist for The Daily Oklahoman (featured as a guest columnist), has not had a child murdered. Yes, the parents desire closure. The parents are not evil. The system is not evil. I speak on this subject with great authority. I live in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. There Is no crime in Abu Dhabi. The fear of the penalty in the Middle East reduces the desire for violence. Mr. Smtilkowski is living in an academ­ ic atmosphere that does not contain reality. We, as students at The University of Texas, were misguided by the liberal press and professors. However, after leaving the life of academic "brain washing," we enter the real word and understand the require­ ments to meet the daily problems of life. James Hunt UT alum Gun con trol Gun control to help combat gun vio­ le n c e s America should be an important issue in the upcoming presidential elec­ tion. The Second Amendment, sacred to so many, has outlived its usefulness as proposed by the Founding Fathers over 200 years ago. They could not possibly foresee the kind of violent culture we live in today. Paranoia besets those who say the government wants to take away citi­ zens' guns. We, the citizens, are the gov­ ernment. Every family does not need to own a gun, but every eligible, able per­ son needs to vote in local, state and national elections. Greedy gun manufacturers and mer­ chants, producers of violent movies, TV programs, and video games along with the powerful National Rifle Association lobbyists only care about money and political power. By refusing to attend violent movies, view violent TV pro­ grams, buy violent video games and join the NRA, we can help put an end to the violence those entities spawn. I hope the Million Mom March is the beginning of a successful movement to rid our land of the violence within. Paul L.

"We share w ith Penn University and its regional champion-- baseball team our sorrow and concern for a Pacers one game from first NBA Final By Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — Booed in their own building after falling behind by 18 points, the Indiana Pacers responded quickly. So quickly it was shocking. Making a stunning turnaround after a miserable start, the Pacers overcame the return of Patrick Ewing to defeat the New York Knicks 88-79 W ednesday night and take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. The Pacers turned an 18-point deficit early in the second quarter into a two-point lead by halftime, closing the period with a 23-3 run. They built their lead as high as 10 points in the second half, getting strong gam es from Travis Best, Mark Jackson, Jalen Rose and Reggie Miller, and d id n 't let the Knicks back within striking distance in the fourth quarter. Best had his best game of the series with 24 points, including 15 in the fourth quar­ ter, while Rose had 18 points and seven rebounds, Miller had 16 points and Jackson ad d ed 11 points, seven assists, no turnovers and a new gesture — an Indiana version of Larry Johnson's ' 'Big L" gesture, crossing his arms over his head or in front of his chest after big baskets. Game 6 is Friday night at M adison Square Garden, where the Knicks will try to regain some of the m om entum they built by w inning Games 3 and 4. But in order to win the series they'll still have to w in a gam e at Indiana, where they are 0-5 since the Pacers moved into Conseco Fieldhouse. The Knicks will also have to find a way to score more points. They had 32 in the first quarter in building their big lead, then scored just eight in the second and 15 in the third. Allan Houston led New York with 25 points, but no one else did much. Ewing returned after missing two games with foot tendinitis and had nine points and four rebounds in the first quarter before finish­ ing w ith 13 points and seven rebounds. Johnson, ham pered by a foot injury sus­ tained at the end of Game 4, shot just 2-for- 8 for four points, while Latrell Sprewell was 4-for-14. The Knicks shot 12-for-19 in the first quarter but 18-for-54 the rest of the way. Best shot 7-for-ll for the Pacers, who made 10 3-pointers, went 20-for-25 at the line and committed only seven turnovers. With Rik Smits starting 0-for-5, the Pacers shot just 27 percent in the first quar­ ter and trailed 32-17 entering the second. New York's lead reached 37-19 two m in­ utes into the quarter, and the fans booed the hom e team off the court during a time­ out. If the Pacers needed something to inspire them, perhaps that did the trick. They had a 9-0 run coming out of the timeout before Ewing hit a jum per in the lane, then closed the half w ith a 13-1 run that included a 3- pointer by Best after the Pacers grabbed two offensive rebounds. Indiana had 10 offensive rebounds to New York's three at halftime, and Rose had 13 points. New York tied the gam e early in the third quarter on a 3-pointer by Houston, but the Pacers scored the next nine points and eventually went u p by 11 as Jackson backed his way into the lane and hit a jump hook. The Knicks had to play catchup from there. New York pulled within six with 5:03 left as H ouston m ade his third shot of the fourth quarter, but Best hit a layup after Derrick McKey hustled down an offensive rebound in the com er — one of the Pacers' 13 offensive boards. Sam Perkins hit a 3-pointer from the cor­ ner with 3:48 left, and Best hit a 3-pointer with 2:33 left for an 82-71 lead. Best then shook Charlie Ward with a shake-and-bake move and hit an 18-footer for an 84-73 lead with 1:46 left that all but ended it.

We all just have to do our individual jobs, and the team title will come together." The team w on each of its last two national titles in dram atic fashion.

S e e p a g e 7 Gossett, Wall push Texas to early lead By Damien Pierce Daily Texan Staff Before the Texas men's golf team began their quest for an NCAA title at the Grand National Golf Club in Opelika, Ala. Wednesday afternoon, sophomore David Gossett gave his four little other Longhorn teammates a advice. "I just told them that there was noth­ ing to be nervous about," said Gossett, who has played on stages such as the Masters and U.S. Open. "The secret to playing on the bigger courses is just to stay focused, and to have peripheral vision. You have to just focus on play­ ing golf." It appears his fellow golfers got the gist of what he was talking about. After day one of the NCAA Championships, the No. 14 Longhorns are in the lead after firing a 16-under 272 tli rough the first round of action to take an eight shot lead. No. 2 Georgia Tech is the closest to Texas at 8-under 280, and Oklahoma State is also in the hunt at 7-under 281. "Obviously, I'm very pleased about how we started, but it's not about how you start, it's about how you finish," Texas head coach John Fields said. "So we feel good about how we did today, but we've still got three more days to play." Gossett currently leads the pack heading into Thursday's round after tying a course record by shooting a nine-under 63. His teammate, J.J. Wall is right behind him after firing a seven- under 65 for the day, and three golfers are tied for third at five-under 67. "It was a roller coaster day for us," said Gossett after finishing up the 18th green with an 18-foot putt "I expected to play this well, but a 63 was a little bit surprising." The sophomore golfer that captured the U.S. Amateur title last year shot "It was a roller coaster clay for us - D av id G o sse tt T e x a s g o lfe r tour-under on the front nine, and five- under on the back nine. His best shot of the1 day came on the fourth hole, when his tee shot landed just three feet away from the cup. "That w as probably my best shot of the day'" Gossett said. "But I was also the last golfer to finish up so sinking that last putt on the 18th green in front of everyone was pretty exciting too." Wall, a freshman from San Antonio, also had a strong day on the golf course, shooting five-under on the front nine, and finishing the day by going two- under on the back nine. He shot birdies on the second, third, fifth, seventh and eighth holes to start his day on the right note. Wall then sunk birdies on the 11th, 12th and 14th holes before shooting par on the last four. Wall felt like his biggest shot came on the ninth hole because he w as able to make par on a tough hole, and that allowed him to take that momentum to the back nine. "I don't know if I expected to play this well, but I was definitely hoping for this kind of a day," Wall said. "I basical­ ly just did what David said, and focused on playing golf because it's the same game you always play. You just have to zone out everything else that is going on around you. There's just a tee box, a green and a hole, so you just have to play it like you always do." Texas hopes to continue to use that strategy when they tee off on Thursday morning at 8 a.m. Eastern time to begin the second round. David Gossett shot a career-best 63 to lead the Held.

Defending champion UT has eyes on 3-peat By Travis Richmond Daily Texan Staff With high expectations, sometimes come disappointments. In the N CA A outdoor championships, the Texas wom en's track team has a chance to regain its past level of success following a somewhat disappointing regular season, at least by their standards. The women enter the NCAA meet in Durham, N.C. ranked fourth in the country — the first time in four years they are not the favorite enter­ ing competition. Preliminary events began yesterday, with the meet concluding Saturday evening. Texas coach Beverly Kearney maintains her squad has the talent to win its third consecutive outdoor title despite finishing second at the Big 12 outdoor championship two weeks ago. "H opefully we're ready," Kearney said. "I don't think rankings mean anything, whether you're first or fourth. The main thing is how well we perform under pressure." At the Big 12 meet, the Texas women had their nine-year run of out­ door conference titles snapped as N ebraska defeated them 169-146. Kearney, however, said that m ust be erased from her team 's mind. "You don't want those negative feelings to carry over into nationals, because it will affect your performance there. The goal now is to not worry about what you can't change," she said.

COURTESY OF TEXAS ATHLETICS Pun Faces you need Co know about UT Tower lo o m s L A R G E at UT The University Tower of the Main Building, rising 307 feet above Austin, stands as a symbol of identity and a tim ekeeper of tradition for The University of Texas at Austin. Built at a cost of $3 million in 1936, the 27-story Tower was designed in a m odi­ fied Spanish Renaissance style by one of A m erica's foremost architects, Paul P. Cret of Philadelphia. The Tower was one of over 30 buildings on campus designed and built after oil was dis­ covered on West Texas Universi-# ty land in the early 1920's. Although the Tower was original­ ly intended to house the M irabeau B. Lamar Library, the interior of the structure was renovat­ ed and assigned to several Univer sity-supporting services in the summer of 1977 when the Lam ar col lection was moved to the Perry-Castenada Library. Currently, the Uni­ versity President, Adm issions Office, Registrar, and Business M anager are among the offices located in the structure. Throughout the past 62 years, the Tower has stood as a symbol of the campus of The University of Texas at Austin for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the University community. TOW ER VICTORY LIGHTS The use of the Tower lights to celebrate Longhorn vic­ tories was originated by Dr. Carl Eckhardt, superintend­ ent of buildings and grounds & professor of mechanical engineering in 1939. Eckhardt placed orange filters over the lights, and when the idea was lauded, special orange lights were installed. The lighting schedule follows: 1. Complete Tower Orange: a. On nights a NCAA national team championship is won in any sport. b. On nights of football victories over Texas A&M. c. On nights a bas­ ketball tournament championship is won in the NIT. 2. Observation and Column Decks Orange: a. On nights of football victories other than those involv­ ing Texas A&M. b. On nights on which a Big 12 cham ­ pionship is won in any team sport, c.

D uring the fol­ lowing years, Bertha was contam inated by early atom ­ ic bomb research conducted in the stadium . In 1955, Col. D. H arold Byrd, form er m em ber and lifetime friend of the Longhorn Band, p u r­ chased Bertha from the Uni­ versity of Chicago for one dollar. Byrd thought the biggest state should have the biggest drum in the world, so he had Bertha decontam i­ nated, renovated and sent to Texas. The Texas Fight song Texas Fight!

At the turn of the century, former UT student Stephen Lee Pinckney headed a drive to raise funds to purchase a steer to serve as the University mascot. Searching for a symbol of "courage, fighting ability, nerve, lust of combat, efficiency in d ead ­ ly encounters and the holy spirit of never-say-die", he found Bevo. The selection of the m ascot's name is less clearly defined, b u t most accounts attribute it to an incident that occured on Feb. 11, 1917. The prior season m otivated some students to attem pt to brand "27 to 7" on Bevo; however, w idespread stu ­ dent protesting stopped im plem entation of the idea. Inspired by the Longhorn to an "E", and "13" to a "B", the inserting a "V" before the "O". (Bevo also happened to be the nam e of a "near beer" popular on the UT cam pus at the time). A native of the Texas Panhandle, the first Bevo inspired the Longhorns to an unbro­ ken string of victorious seasons until his reign ended in 1920. The steer came to an unfortunate but tasty end w hen he was barbecued for 100 University of Texas letterm en, the coaches and invited guests from Texas A&M. The branded half of the steer's hide was pre­ sented to the Aggies and hangs today in the lobby of the Student Union on the Texas A&M cam pus. Currently, m em bers of the Silver Spurs, a University service organization, have been caretakers of Bevo. Since Bevo I, 12 other longhorn steers have served the University of Texas as its beloved mascot.

Read our review tomorrow Even without the publication o f the Texan during the M ay break, our 'writ­ ers explored the alw ays fu n and varied world o f national tours. Here's a recap o f some o f the most m em orable mom ents o f recent iveeks in Austin live music: « The Smashing Pum pkins Austin M usic Hall, M ay 14 No one knew that a week after The Smashing Pum pkins played a sold-out show in Austin, bandleader Billy Corgan would announce the band was breaking up. With that in mind, the Pum pkins' Austin concert was a memorable event, but perhaps not the stellar show one would hope for in the band's final live assault in the Lone Star State (the group will officially disband following a series of international tour dates this year). The band's last visited Austin in 1996, supporting M ellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and playing the Erwin Center, so perform ing in the M usic Hall for the new album, M A CH l- K A/The machines o f God, was a great change of pace. The more intimate venue allowed for a personal per­ formance from Corgan and company. Still, a band as accom plished as the Pum pkins should have used that for more career retrospection. The band steered clear of hit singles like "1979," "Tod ay," "Z e ro ," "D isarm " and fran kly m ost o f their popular songs. The show w as not without em otion and energv, but lacked the resonance brou ght by familiarity. A few gem s — a perform ­ ance of guitarist Jam es Iha's song "B lew " and an industrial ver­ sion of the Talking Heads classic, "O nce In A Lifetim e," — m ade the night worth catching. But if the band is calling it quits, it would have been nicer to see some of that "greatest hits" packaging they were surely try­ ing to avoid. —M att Dentler B lin k 182 F ran k Erw in Center, M ay 16 Using the clout obtained from their recent success, pop-punk band Blink 182 launched a stadium tour that passed through Austin on M ay 16. O pening for the band were punk m ainstays Bad Religion and new ­ com ers Fénix TX. Blink 182 w alked on stage to cheers as the audience grew from the sm all num bers on hand for the opening acts. A bove the Frank Erw in C enter stage w as a m arqu ee w ith the band nam e above it, surrou nded by v in ­ tage film p laying throughout the n ig h t, sca n tily -cla d w om en as w ell as various other clips continu in g the sam e d rive-in sh o w in g theater them e. the "A ll B link 182's hour-and-a- h alf set their included all recent hits — "W h at's M y Age A g ain ?" Sm all Things," "A d am 's Song" and "D am m it." The boys poked fun at popular artists such as Brit­ ney Spears and Creed in their set and exposed the predom i­ nantly younger audience to lan­ guage too profane for their ears. As much as the old-school punk m entality and TRL pop w orld clashed, Blink 182 put on an elec­ trifying show. — Ashok Chandra *NSYNC hung out with Austin preteens and their parents on May 29 at the Frank Erwin Center. Don Henley F ran k E rw in Center, M ay 2 2 As Don H enley stepped on stage — backed by a full band, brass section, string section and gospel choir — at the Erwin C en­ ter on M ay 22, the first w ords he spoke, "It's good to be back," could not have been m ore true. The Austin stop on The Inside Job Tour was only the second itinerary. O ne date on would expect Henley and the band to be a little rusty. But w hat­ ever rust may have built up was quickly brushed aw ay by the third chord of "D irty Laundry," which was the perfect opening to reintroduce the crow d to their long-lost soothsayer. The set was full of songs both old and new. the H enley even several Eagles songs which were delivered with enough of that fam ous Henley sang sarcasm to anger those few fans expecting three hours of "H otel Cali­ fornia." Fans got their "H otel C alifor­ n ia " w ith a heavy dose of reggae and mariachi, and the entire lead guitar part played by a quartet of trom bone players. lesser know n Henley did not back aw ay from his songs, either. Backed only by a piano, the vocals on the 1983 release "Talkin' to the M oon" were pow erful enough to bring the audience to com plete silence before a rousing ovation. For w ell ov er tw o and a h alf hours, D on H enley m ade it glaringly obvious that while a few of his new songs m ay sound different, the m es­ sage is still delivered with m usical mastery. The audience left the concert getting just w hat they cam e for — Don H enley old and new. — C hristopher Ruth *NSYNC F ran k E rw in Center, M ay 2 9 fans w aitin g On M ay 29, the Frank Erwin Center was filled to capacity with scream in g for *N SYN C to m ake their appearance. At 9 p.m., the lights dim m ed, the curtain fell and deafening shrieks filled the arena. Joey, J.C., Chris, Ju stin and L ance w ere low ered from the ceiling as m arionettes. They started with songs from their new album , No Strings Attached, and then segued into the more fam iliar "Tearin' Up M y H eart," from their self-titled previous best­ selling release. Throughout the night, the band appeased their dem anding audi­ ence with one of the more im pres­ sive show s on the road today. the choreographed A long w ith dancing that abounds in boy bands, *N SY N C em ployed vario u s skits, including a recorded one with Regis Philbin in order to test the audience's know led g e of P okém on and to encourage participation in the show. For their song, "T h is I Prom ise You," a platform onstage m oved the five guys up and dow n the center aisle so that no fan — even those in the highest seats — w ould be too far away. They closed off the night appro­ priately w ith their current hit single "B ye, Bye, B y e." *N SY N C proved how m uch they have m atured by ditching the Starter gear and low -tech stage for designer clothing and count­ less explosions. With props like a giant talking clow n head and scenes that m im ic The M atrix, this concert will be hard for upcom ing sum m er pop show s to top. — A shok Chandra Blink 182 and The Smashing Pumpkins both brought their national tours through Austin recently. For the Pumpkins, it may be their last. Photo illustration by Daily Texan Staff I f any textbook store or internet site beats our prices we will refund the difference.
