SEE PAGE 7 AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL Council approves noise ordinance Councilmembers variance request for outside music venues By Katherine Sayre Daily Texan Staff The Austin City Council passed 6-1 Thursday a noise ordinance requiring outdoor music venues to obtain licenses and cut back on the decibel level limits for residents and businesses. The ordinance will require amplified sound in the Warehouse and Sixth Street districts to stay at or below 85 decibels with a 2 a.m. cutoff. In all resi­ dentially-zoned areas, the level must stay at or below 75 decibels with a 10 p.m. cutoff. "W hat we've had for years, in practice, is an unen­ forceable noise ordinance," Will Wynn, a councilman, said. "I praise the task force for coming up with something I think is enforceable." The City Council determines the future of Austin Music Network. The ordinance was first pro­ posed in December, and over the last month the noise ordinance task force — bringing together downtown resi­ dents, stakeholders and city officials — made a few changes to the draft, including an exemption for the SXSW Conference. SEE BELOW posed "variance process" in which venues outside the two downtown districts may have their hours extend­ ed by proving a legitimate business need. Downtown residents expressed concern that \ ariance would be issued even with residential d isapproval. Laura Huffman, assistant city manager, said the new ordinance will not be damaging to the live music scene. "I think [the task force] met the goal of providing quality of life and preserving the 'Live Music Capital of the W orld," Huffman said.

Opening and closing its red mouth, the dragon reveals rows of rigid teeth. After taking a gulp it darts about in of fresh air, search of its next victim. A short, chubby man dressed in tattered, yellow rags grabs the dragon's attention as he cools himself with a straw fan. The Happy Buddha playfully taps his fan on the dragon's head, sending the dragon into a fury of anger as it chases the Buddha down the hallway. Shrieks of excitement and fear permeate the air as dozens of bystanders pray they too w on't become the beast's next meal. Luckily, this is just an act. The Texas D ragon/Lion Dance Team, a UT student organization, puts on performances like the one held Thursday at Wells Branch Elem entary School in Round Rock many times throughout the year. This is ju st a w arm up for their perform ance Saturday, which is the day of the Chinese New Year. The team's mission is to share with others one of the many tra­ ditions of the New Year holiday. N athan Fraser-Chanpong, a member of the organization, feels it is important for others to know about the traditions that su r­ round Chinese culture.

To fund these changes, par­ ticipating institutions must find additional sources of revenue. Don Brown, the com missioner of higher education, said state appropriations are not a likely source for additional funding because of the $9.9 billion state deficit for the biennium. Instead, the board suggested allowing the institutions the flexibility to alter student tuition and fees. To determine if tuition increas­ es would be feasible, the board will evaluate Texas' tuition rates See EDUCATION, page 5 78TH LEGISLATURE Craddick appoints committees House speaker's assignments reflect diversity, not tradition By S tep han ie W eintraub Daily Texan Staff It was bid day at the Capitol Thursday. The Texas House members have been awaiting committee assignments since the 78th Legislature convened Jan. 14. As expected, Rep. Talmadge Heflin, R-Houston, was picked to chair the Appropriations Committee, which constructs the budget bill in tandem with the Senate Finance Committee. Writing the appropriations bill this session will be tough in light of the $9.9 billion budget shortfall, Heflin said. "We'll be looking at building from tht ground up," he said. "It'll be a little bit more time consum ­ ing, but I think we'll have a team on the committee that will commit to do the work." House Speaker Tom Craddick, R-Midland, chose Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston, as speaker pro tempore, a House position that ranks just under speaker. Craddick assembled 42 committees total, and the two new committees this session will con­ centrate on health-care costs and political ethics. The new speaker broke tradition by putting a number of freshmen in leadership positions — 11 are vice chairs of committees and two are on appro­ priations. Craddick also put women and minorities in posi­ tions of power this session with chair positions in correlation with their House numbers. "This marks a turning point in particular for minority members of the House," said Rep.

The city's current budget funds the network through Aug. 31. The last $56,000, needed to take the the network for three months until further review. Woody Roberts, general man­ ager of the AMN, said he would like a few months to see the effects of the Austin Music C om m ission's im plem enting "The ideal situation for me would be to have all of these rec­ ommendations approved as per­ formance measures or goals, not requirements, until we can see how these goals work out. I think we can meet most of them — if not all of them," Roberts said. Councilm em ber Will Wynn, the only member to vote against the contract, argued the network should be cut loose from the city budget to save nearly $500, 000. "If we're not going to fund it in eight months, good govern­ ment tells me we're not going to fund it now," Wynn said.

That's a place where you guys and other local bands get a lot o f play. What do you think about that? Conrad Keely: There's all sorts of bands that get exposed on it. It would be a tragedy [if they cut it], and it really helps the sense of community we have as a town.

Ryan Petkoff Assistant professor says U.S. "tones down’ holiday CELEBRATION, FROM 1 lecturer Cam illa Hsieh, an Asian stud­ ies from Taiw'an. "Fam ilies would have a long string of firecrackers ready by their front door. Right at mid­ night, every family lit the fire­ crackers. It sounded like a war zone, and it would go on for a long time, but it always moved me." In preparation of the holiday, families clean their homes from top to bottom to rid it of any bad karma left over from the previous year. "It is believed that if some­ one sweeps the floors inside the hom e several days after, they should be careful not to sweep anything out the door, since it sweeps away luck," said Rich Si mental, an Asian studies sen­ ior and member of the Texas Dragon / Lion Dance Team. Sharp objects such as scissors and knives are hidden to pre­ vent accidentally "cutting the thread of good fortune." The most popular event of the Chinese New Year is the dragon parade. The dragon's papier-mache head and fabric body holds several people, who dance to the beat of drums and a gong, imitating Nian. The dragon dances from business to business, drawing em ployees to come out and offer "hung bao," the dancer's payment for the performance. Heads of lettuce containing packets of money are a com ­ mon gift. It is considered good luck if the dragon bows down in front of a person's store. "The dragon is considered good said. luck," Sim ental "People try to touch the fabric of the dragon for good luck." Ten years ago M aggie Chiang, an assistant A sian studies professor, saw the drag­ on parade in Shanghai. "Everyone from children to grandmothers from the coun­ tryside came to town, and together we moved like sar­ dines down the main streets," she said. "There is a lot of w on­ der, amazement and energy everywhere. It's a crazy time, bright, loud, full of food, aro­ mas and spectacles." However, she feels the holiday is toned down in the United States. "Texas, in general, is so spread out that it is difficult to get the concentration of people and energy that you see in the more congested East C oast and cities like Shanghai," C hiang said. Hsieh agrees. "W hen I was a child, New Years meant sweets, good food, m oney and firecrackers. Now' I am awray from my culture. I no longer celebrate Chinese New Years the way my parents did. Instead, it has becom e a reminder and a time for m e to reaffirm my roots."

Originally, off icers were only allowed to measure the lev­ els 6 feet from the front door. Heath Macintosh, owner of the Red Eyed Fly on Red River, said the music venue will be hurt by the new ordinance. "A lot of live music has moved over to the Red River area, and it should be carved out into a zone just like the Warehouse District and the Sixth Street District," Macintosh said. "We'll appeal [the decision] because it w'ill just kill our business." Chris Didear, member of the local band Deejer, attended the council meeting to express his ow n concerns about the direction live music is taking in Austin. "I've lived here 30 years and played in clubs here for 16 years, and w'e're losing a lot of live music venues," Didear said, it seems ludicrous to claim this city as the 'Live Music Capital of the World' when they are essen­ tially shutting it down." .

Two designs emerge as favorites for WTC site Search continues for mother of abandoned 3-year-old Nine dead in Australia train wreck NEW YORK — Two proposals to replace the World Trade Center with skyscrapers even bigger than the ones destroyed on Sept. 11 have emerged as leading con tenders in the ground zero design competition. Officials with the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. and other agencies will meet on Monday and are expected to choose two finalists out of the nine designs unveiled Dec. 18. A final choice is expected in February. A source familiar with the rebuild­ ing effort said development corpo­ ration staff and board members favored the latticework twin towers proposed by the THINK team of architects, and a plan from Berlin- based Daniel Libeskind that would use the original towers’ foundation. Each plan features structures that would surpass Malaysia’s 1,483-foot Petronas Twin Towers a s the tallest in the world Some people who live and work around the area are fearful that erecting such giant skyscrapers would invite another attack. RENO, Nev. — Police intensified their search for a missing woman whose 3-year-old son was aban­ doned at a Utah store, and the boy’s stepfather was charged Thursday with child abuse for allegedly leaving the boy. A police affidavit said the boy’s statements led them to believe his mother had been harmed. Jeannette Acord, 28, has been missing two weeks. Her husband, Lyle Montgomery, 42, was charged Thursday in Salt Lake City with misdemeanor child abuse for allegedly leaving the boy Saturday at a ShopKo. The boy’s identity was a mystery for days, until a woman from Reno recog­ nized Jonathan Jacob Corpuz and called authorities. Montgomery’s lawyer said police have given no indication he is a suspect in the disappearance of Acord, whom he married in December.

The nomination of the administra­ tion’s top economic spokesman was approved by voice vote after many senators had already left the Capitol to begin a long three-day weekend. Snow, the head of railroad giant CSX Corp. for the past 14 years, was picked by Bush last month to be his new treasury secretary after the ouster of Paul O’Neill in a shake-up of the administration’s economic team. The administration had pushed for a quick Senate vote, hoping to have Snow on the job by Monday, when Bush will send Congress his new budget. Deep Junior bests Kasparov in third match, ties series NEW YORK — A blunder cost chess legend Garry Kasparov the third in a series of championship matches with supercomputer Deep Junior on Thursday. “I had a complete blackout," Kasparov said. “Despite Deep Junior having a great team and grandmaster trainers, I had great positions." Kasparov sacrificed a pawn, one of his least powerful pieces, hoping to further strengthen his position. But the sacrifice actually left him vulnerable, and Deep Junior capital­ ized on the mistake. Seeing few options, Kasparov conceded. The six-match series is now tied at 1 1 / 2 points each. The next match will be held Sunday. W ORLD BRIEFS French flee Ivory Coast as peace deal flounders ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — French nationals and other foreigners waited in long lines Thursday for flights out of Ivory Coast, as the former French colony braced for what many fear could be the vio­ lent collapse of a fragile peace deal. Airlines laid on extra flights and one. Air Ivoire, said it was giving priority to women and children. French in Abidjan have been the targets of days of attacks — blamed by loyalist mobs for com- promises in a French-brokered peace accord the loyalists con­ tend yields too much to the rebels behind Ivory Coast’s 4- month-old insurgency. Thousands of the country's 20,000 French nationals have fled. Belgium follows neighbor, approves gay marriages BRUSSELS, Belgium — Belgium became the second nation in the world to officially recognize gay marriages Thursday, when parliament backed the move with a large majority. The Netherlands approved same-sex marriages two years ago, but unlike its northern neigh­ bor, Belgium did not allow such couples to adopt children. The bill passed the House of Representatives in a 91-22 vote with nine abstentions. The Senate already had approved it. Belgium already was one of several European nations, which have laws recognizing same-sex unions and granting legal, tax and property rights. Sept. 11 relatives face suspect at Germany trial HAMBURG, Germany — Five Americans on Thursday confront- ed the first suspect to stand trial for the Sept. 11 attacks and demanded harsh punishment for “the puppets of Osama bin Laden." Mounir el Motassadeq, an alleged member of the al-Qaida cell that included lead hijacker Mohamed Atta, listened intently but showed no emotion as the men and women painfully relived their experiences in Hamburg state court. More than 20 relatives have loined the proceedings, which began in October, under German laws allowing relatives of crime victims to review evidence, file motions and question witnesses. El Motassadeq, a 28-year-old Moroccan, is accused of provid­ ing logistical support to the Hamburg cell. He faces a possi­ ble life sentence. Cambodia apologizes for anti-Thailand riots PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Cambodia apologized and offered compensation Thursday for a riot that damaged the Thai Embassy and severely strained relations with its neighbor. The em bassy was partially burned and vandalized by mobs during riots Wednesday that also damaged several Thai-owned hotels, restaurants and other businesses, left one Thai dead and seven injured. In retaliation, the Thai govern­ ment closed its borders with Cambodia, downgraded diplomat­ ic ties and suspended economic cooperation with its smaller neighbor. The violence was sparked by Cambodian media reports that a Thai television actress had insult­ ed national pride by suggesting that Cam bodia’s famed Angkor Wat temple, a national symbol, is on land that should be part of Thailand. Brazil launches program to help feed poor families BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil’s new president launched his anti­ hunger program Thursday with a move to provide $14 a month to 1.5 million families, most from the country’s poverty-stricken northeast region. While the stipend may seem insignificant. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s hunger task force estimated 46 million of the coun­ try’s 175 million citizens survive on less than $1 a .day. Silva, who as a boy dropped out of grade school to help sup- port his family, made hunger eradication his top priority during his Jan. 1 inauguration speech.

THE FIRING LINE The supportive fiance I am convinced some people ju s t don’t understand certain things about the war in Iraq, especially the people directly involved. My fiance is currently in active Army duty and has received orders for deployment, which will begin th is February. I am not saying I am for or against the war, but I am very supportive of my fiance in every way that I can be. It hurts to hear news cover­ age of the war and to see it continuously on campus even hurts more. I already have to deal with saying goodbye to my fiance for at least six months. Why can’t you let me deal with that? I hear people approve of the U.S. m ilita ry’s involvement in the war as long as they don’t get drafted. I mean, come on! Do you think the men and women of the m ilitary actually want to go to war? Half of those men and women out there in uniform, including my fiance, don’t want to go to war. It is something they must par­ take in ju s t so you can have your riots. Some o f those men and women don’t seem to think they have many choices in life, so they choose the Army. Some join for the health benefits, col­ lege financial aid, travel, change of life, etc. Some of those involved in the m ilitary never actually think that they will be involved in war, but it happens. And so my fiance must go. I love him and I will support him. So when you speak about this war, please be considerate of those involved and around you. Anna Patterson Theater and dance junior Uncool copycats Dave Matthews is dead. Or at least so I was told by a girl in my dorm between bites of a chicken sandwich and com­ ments about how uncool that would be because he is such a good musician. The source of the news of his untimely demise: a false chain e-m ail forwarded to her from one of her friends. However, as much humor as I could extract from the situation, my criticism here has nothing to do with this girl or pop music. On Tuesday, President George W. Bush gave his State o f the Union Address, full of the usual Bush propaganda and Iraqi rhetoric that we have become fam iliar with over the last few months. Less than 12 hours after watching the speech, I thumbed through The Daily Texan and found an Associated Press article on the speech — with contributions by Texan reporter Wes Ferguson — which offered a series of one-sided quotes from UT students c riti­ cizing the speech, some com ­ paring Bush’s rhetoric to th a t of Hitler or Stalin. As much comedy as I get from w itnessing fa t-c a t conserva­ tives eat up Bush’s propaganda with a spoon, getting fired up about the prospect of war, I get equally as much humor from listening to college Democrats system atically denouncing the president and protesting war because it simply gives them som ething to protest about and i t ’s what other university stu­ dents or fellow party members are doing. I feel strongly tha t attacking Iraq w ithin the next few months would be irresponsible and m is­ directed. However, responding to propaganda with propaganda of your own, i.e. comparing the president to Hitler, is not only stupid, it taints the cause of people th a t genuinely oppose war in Iraq. Instead of blindly following what we hear on te le ­ vision, read in a newspaper, hear from a friend, or read in an e -m a il, let us always ques­ tion. We have the freedom to do so. J.J. Hermes Chemical engineering freshman What hiring freeze? I feel compelled to dispute University CFO Kevin Hegarty’s comm ents regarding a potential hiring freeze in Wednesday’s Daily Texan article “ UT System puts freeze on hiring.” In the article, Hegarty said "... i t ’s dif­ fic u lt to believe that all the fac­ ulty th a t need to be hired aren’t already hired.” Au contraire, sir. In my departm ent, we have sev­ eral ongoing, im portant job searches. One of these posi­ tions is for an Iranian history scholar. With all due respect to Hegarty, we need faculty a ffilia t­ ed with Middle Eastern Studies in our departm ent. The vacancy created by a retirem ent a few years ago remains. The job search has also begun for other vacancies in the history departm ent, includ­ ing spots for U.S. borderlands, African-American history and history of science, all of which are cross-disciplinary. I hope that these positions — and many others — will not be sac­ rificed. Surely, there are other departm ents with such ongoing job searches. Some of these positions need to be fille d if the University is to maintain its academic reputation. That too is im portant to our solvency. The large research grants that these highly respected faculty bring in are as necessary to our fiscal health as balancing our budget. I sincerely hope that ongoing searches will be allowed to come to fruition. Eleanor Hudson History graduate student How dare you? Responding to Wednesday’s Daily Texan Firing Line “ What has SG done lately?" by Bryson Santaguida, I was extremely offended by his statem ent that “ the bus routes suck” followed by his com m ents that “ SG can’t get people with real power to take them seriously enough to get anything done." First of all, I’d like to mention that Capital Metro has the high­ est per capita ridership in Texas, which proves people are riding the shuttle buses and that the planners and com m it­ tee members a ren't ju s t a bunch of monkeys and buffoons sitting around not knowing where riders need to go. I real­ ize that students complain about buses being crowded but, with the given resources we have, we cannot expand to satisfy everyone’s needs.

If we take away resources from one person (or route) to sa tisfy the needs o f others, inevitably, som eone’s going to bitch.

It runs every weekend, and Capital M etro is praising it as the success story of late night bus service. Why does ridership increase by 20 percent every year, and 2 5 ,0 0 0 people get on a UT Shuttle bus every day? I don’t think i t ’s because the bus routes suck.

Report: Hispanic enrollment key TACHE delegates discuss ways to improve enrollment By Yvonne Um Daily Texan Staff "W e are the w orld," hummed the Texas one attendee at Association of Chicanos in H igher Education conference Thursday. This refrain summa­ rized the statistics indicating that by 2040, Hispanics w ill make up about 59 percent — the majority — of the Texas population. To prepare for this population boom, T A C H E has been working to ensure that the Hispanic major­ ity w ill be an educated one. T A C H E 's 28th-annual conference brought collegiate educators, administrators and students from across Texas to meet with legisla­ tors and explore methods to increase Hispanic faculty and stu­ in higher dent representation education. On Wednesday, T A C H E pre­ sented a draft of its 2003 biennial report card that ranks all Texas colleges and universities by four factors. O ut of 35 Texas public universities, UT-Austin ranked 17th in total H ispanic enroll­ ment; 20th in Hispanic retention; 17th in percentage of degrees awarded to Hispanics and 28th in increased degrees aw arded from 1997 to 2001. Data for the report w as derived from the Education Texas Coordinating Board. H igher Carlos Ayala, coordinator of measurement and evaluation at Palo A lto College in San Antonio, produced the T A C H E report card and said it w as presented to legislators as an informational tool. "UT-Austin is not one of the top schools," Ayala said. "They am around the average, or maybe below average. It's not high." Increased Hispanic enrollment in higher education is a concern for Texas. Since it has been proven that degree-holders earn higher income, the education level of the Texas population will determine the state's economy. Preliminary numbers show that Texas is not meeting its goal to enroll 3(X),000 Hispanic students by 2015 in a plan set by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board known as "Closing the Gaps by 2015." T A C H E president-elect Ana Guzm an said increasing financial aid availability and awareness is a key factor in the enrollment of more Hispanic students. She said a study showed lower income students were more likely to dis­ tort the cost of higher education. "There are people w ho think poor kids don't want to go to school," Guzm an said. " It has more to do with the money." Jacob Fraire, assistant vice pres­ ident of the Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation, said financial aid not only encourages enrollment but helps increase retention and the likelihood of graduation. "(Closing the Gaps] is a great goal, but at the end of the day, if there aren't enough funds, they may not even [complete their degree]," Fraire said. Miguel Zuniga, a health policy and management assistant pro­ fessor at Texas A & M , said the T A C H E conference has affirmed his career in higher education. "The struggle is w orth it," Zuniga said. "Yes, there am1 many stumbling blocks, but it is worth it."

The Battalion, the A&M student newspaper, reported in Thursday’s edition that university police granted access to its sur­ veillance equipment without any formal records request. The University has refused to disclose the same sort of infor­ mation and has filed suit against the Texas attorney general. "We were curious to see if we would find the same resistance and we didn’t,” said Brandie Lissick, editor of The Battalion. The UT suit is still pending. —- P. Ryan Petkoff Baylor has new president for College of Medicine HOUSTON — Baylor College of Medicine’s new president says the experience he gained in the pharmaceutical industry will help him settle into his new job. “I learned how medicine is practiced globally. I learned how I can bring [pharmaceutical] indus­ try into Baylor. The benefit is enormous," said Dr. Peter Traber, who was introduced as the med­ ical school’s new president at a news conference Thursday. Traber, 47, who will officially begin his new job March 1, was senior vice president for clinical development and medical affairs at GlaxoSmithKline, the British drug maker best known for prod- cing the anti-depressant Paxil and the heartburn drug Zantac. — Associated Press Commission votes against major changes to Title IX WASHINGTON — A sharply divided Bush administration advi­ sory commission voted Thursday to change a landmark gender- equity law that substantially increased the number of female athletes but stopped short of the major overhaul some women’s advocates feared. The Commission on Opportunity in Athletics consid­ ered 24 recommendations for Title IX during two days of some­ times contentious meetings. The most sweeping recommenda­ tions were defeated, and the panel deadlocked 7-7 on a pro­ posal to make a major change. That proposal called for altering the requirement that the ratio of male and female athletes at col­ leges and universities be roughly equivalent to the overall student body. — AP EXPERIENC E A N E W A N D E X C IT IN G BUBBLE T E A CAFE (a) 24th & N u eces 477-4300 art supplies online 30-60 ships within 24 hours Dick Blick Art Materials www.dickblick.com (800) 828-4548 f t enter source code W A 10005 at checkout for additional 10% off on stocked items (no FO B ) expires M arch 15, 2003 • • • Danielle V in ce n t/ D a ily Texan Sta ff Sixteen-year-old Sporty strolls around the University led by his owner Terri Vincent.

Some feel tuition increase may affect lower-income students EDUCATION, FROM 1 in com parison w ith those of other states, Brown said. If the tuition rates are deemed low, the board w ill recommend to the Legislature that colleges and universities be granted the abili­ ty to modify them. W ith this increased revenue, these institutions could not only develop new and better pro­ grams, but 15 percent of each student's tuition fees would go toward the financial aid for low- income students, Brown said. Some remained skeptical of even minute increases in tuition. M artin Basaldua, vice chair of the T H E C B , said even a small increase in student tuition and fees could have the reverse effect of the board's goals because it w ou ld deter students from low er socioeconomic groups from attending college. "Just raising the tuition is going to impact participation," Basaldua said. Brow n increased agreed tuition could have negative effects on enrollment, but said the board w ill w ork with the educational to develop an appropriate plan. institutions "A n y raises [in tuition and fees] w ill make it significantly harder for families to send their kids to college," Brown saici. "[But] we need to close the gap regardless of how w e get the money." "Closing the Gaps by 2015," originally implemented in Oct. "Any raises [in tuition and fees] will make it significantly harder for families to send their kids to college.” Don Brown, higher education commissioner 2000, also aims to double the number of degrees and certifi­ cates awarded to students, and increase the existence of to nationally recognized programs at these institutions. "These goals need to be reached, not just for minorities," Brown said. "W e w ant to lift the level of education overall." MEMORANDUM University Community TO; FROM: Dean of Students RE: TEXAS HAZING STATUTE SUMMARY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN HAZING REGULATIONS The 70th Texas Legislature enacted a law concerning hazing. Under the law, individuals or organizations engaging in hazing could be subject to tines and charged with a criminal offense. According to the law, a person can commit a hazing offense not only by engaging in a hazing activity, but also by soliciting, directing, encouraging, aiding or attempting to aid another in hazing; by intentionally, knowingly or recklessly allowing hazing to occur, or by failing to report first hand knowledge that a hazing incident is planned or has occurred in writing to the Dean of Students. The fact that a person co n­ sented to or acquiesced in a hazing activity is not a defense to prosecution for hazing under this law. In an effort to encourage reporting of hazing incidents, the law grants immunity from civil or criminal liability to any person who reports a specific hazing event in good faith and without malice to the Dean of Students or other appropriate official of the institution and immunizes that person from participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from that report. Additionally, a doctor or other medical practitioner who treats a student who may have been subiected to hazing may make a good faith report of the suspected hazing activities to police or other law enforcement officials and is immune from civil or other liability that might otherwise be imposed or incurred as a result of the report. The penalty for failure to report is a fine of up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both. Penalties for other hazing offenses vary according to the severity of the injury which results and include fines from $500 to $10,000 and/or confinement for up to two years. $2.00 per semester credit hour increase in designated tuition is proposed, which will match the $2.00 per semester credit hour increase in regular tuition set by the Legislature. UN IV ERSIT Y D ISC IPLIN A R Y RULES This law does not affect or in any w ay limit the right of The University to enforce its own rules against hazing. Rules and Regulations of the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System, Part One, Chapter VI, Sections 3.6 and 3.7, provide that (alHazmg with or without the consent of a student is prohibited by the System, and a violation of that prohibition renders both the person inflicting the hazing and the person submitting to the hazing subjoct to discipline. (b)lmtiations and activities by organizations may include no feature w hich is dangerous, harmful, or degrading to the student, and a violation of this prohibition renders both the organization and participating individuals subject to discipline. $2.00 per semester credit hour increase in differential graduate tuition is proposed. DANGEROUS OR DEGRADING A CTIVITIES Activities which under certain conditions constitute acts which are dangerous, harmful, or degrading, in violation of subsections 6 304(e) and 11 -804(7) of the Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities include but are not limited to: (a)Calisthenics, such as sit-ups, push-ups, or any other form of physical exercise; $1.05 per semester credit hour increase in the Information Technology fee is proposed. $1.00 per semester credit hour increase in the Library fee is proposed.

TOUTING TAXES BRIEFS Man executed for 1988 slaying and burglary HUNTSVILLE — Delivering his final statement in French and English, a burglar who authorities said began his career while in elementary school, was executed Thursday for fatally bludgeoning an Amarillo man with a tire iron during a home burglary. “ I love all of you,” Granville Riddle said, speaking first in French and then in English. "I have no grudges against anyone, and I would like to say to the world I have always been a nice person.” He was pronounced dead at 6:17 p.m. Riddle’s execution was the sixth in Texas this year and the third this week. Two more executions are scheduled for next week. Visa probe brings border consulate to a standstill NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — The streets around the U.S. Consulate in this bustling border town usually teem on weekdays with Mexicans who want visas to cross the Rio Grande to visit the United States. But Thursday, the well-worn sidewalks around the consulate were empty except for the armed guards standing watch. The con­ sulate’s visa section, one of the busiest in the world, was closed Wednesday because of evidence that workers there were illegally selling entry permits. Thomas Armbruster, consul gen­ eral in Nuevo Laredo, said the visa section would remain closed at least through next week. Armbruster said Mexican citizens who work at the consulate are on administrative leave until Monday. Senate committee passes first insurance reform bill AUSTIN — Legislators passed their first bill out of a committee Thursday. It would require insurance companies to release to the state their current and future homeowners rates. The bill also allows the Texas Department of Insurance to seek all data the companies use to deter­ mine the premiums. The legislation was necessary because some companies had not voluntarily filed the information, said Sen. Troy Fraser, the bill’s sponsor and chairman of the Senate Business and Commerce Committee, which approved the bill. The measure next moves to the Senate floor. Fraser, R Horses ioe Bay, said the bill will help as lawmakers discuss reforming the high-priced market.

Now, with most of that pitching staff still in place, the Longhorns boast an offensive lineup that's both fast and powerful. But comparing this team to last year's National Championship squad is unfair. "You can't live up to a standard that doesn't exist," said seven-year head coach Augie Garrido. "You can compare things in hindsight, but every team is different." It's that philosophical approach Garrido brings to the table that allows his players to flourish. He gives them the freedom to fail and the freedom to learn. Just ask the first baseman. "Now, I'm in a position to really help this team ," Reininger said of his new position.

January 31, 2 002 Texas looks to rebound from Kansas loss against Cowboys By Patrick Daniel Daily Texan Staff After losing a tough game against \o . 12 Kansas, the Texas basketball team must regroup before they face the hottest team in the country. Fhe Oklahoma State Cowboys roll into town for Saturday's Big 12 matchup with a 15-game winning streak. The No. 9 Cowboys last loss came in November to the College of Charleston, and their defense has been a key factor during their 15-game run. The team has only allowed 58.8 points during the win streak. Wednesday night was no different as they scored 27 points off turnovers in a 68-55 victory over 1rt a t ion 540-1. ost & Found 550-Lkensed Child ( are 560-Puldk Notkt 570-Music/last ructh «) 190>Appifamres 200-FBrnRare/Ilousehotd 210-Slereo/TV 215-ElectroBH's 220-i.omputers/Equipment 23fl-Phott>/<'ajnera 240-Boats 250-Musical Instruments 260-Hobbies 270-M achinery/F.quipment 280-Sporting Equipment 290-Furniture/Appliance Rental 300-Garage/Runimage Sales 310-Trade 320-Wanted to Buv/Rent 330-Pets 335-Rest ued Animals 340-Longhorn W an t Ads 341-Longhorn V uto Special 345-Miscellaneous B & m i 350-Rental Services 360-Fumisbed Apts. 370-Unfurmsbed Apts.380- Kuroisht-d Duplexes 390-Uafttrnished Duplexes 40M'ondos/Townf tomes 410-Furnished Houses 420-t nfurnished Houses 425-Rooms 430-Room/Board 435-Co-ops 440-Roonunates 450-Mobile Home Lots 460-Business Rentals 470-Resorts 480-Storage Space 490-Wanted to Rent/Lease 500-M ist.

Scott was one of four suspei ts in the m urder of four women in an Austin yogurt shop in 1991. Robert Springsteen received the death penalty in June 2001, and M ichael Scott was sentenced to life in prison in Septem ber 2002. Forrest W elbom , the fourth suspect, w as never indicted. Follow ing the release of Pierce, Scott's law yers argued that the Austin Police Departm ent had coerced false confessions from the yogurt shop suspects. Scott's attorneys claim that Earle did not take "an objective look at the contents of the confes­ sions or the technique used to acquire them to ¡udge whether they were true." Carlos Garcia, Scott7s trial attor­ ney, said, "A ll they had to judge them on were the confessions. " The district attorney cited insufficient evidence as a reason for Pierce's release. "The case against M aurice Pierce rem ains open, and the investigation continues. M urder has no statute of lim itations," Earle said in a statement. The most relevant evidence against Pierce is the testim ony of Scott and Springsteen, w ho is cur­ rently on death row. Both have declined to testify under the Fifth Am endm ent. Pierce's attorneys have a legal nght to cross-examine the w it­ nesses testifying agaiast him , but because the Fifth Am endm ent prevents self-incnmination, Spring­ steen and Scott's testim ony could not be used. An assistant to the district attor­ ney declined to comment on the statement from Scott's attorneys, saying that the district attorney's initial statement spoke for itself. Speaking publicly for the first time since his release from cus­ tody, Pierce said Thursday, "M y life w ill never be the same," after spending more than three years in jail aw aiting trial. "It is time for me to move on with m y life," Pierce said. " I am innocent of any and all charges per­ taining to the yogurt shop case." The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Geoff Riddle/ Daily Texan Staff Barrientos, others urge all Texans to 'Stand up’ and attend rally for rights By Gil So n g Daily Texan Staff At the Capitol Thursday, Texas Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Austin, encouraged denizens of Texas to become more p o litically active with the announcement of a politi­ cal rally scheduled for Sunday. The event, dubbed "G e t U p ...

"[T he rally] addresses a gen­ is that uine public need," Barrientos said. "A n d to get people involved in the system of laws, governm ent, politics that affects every aspect of our daily lives." L iz Carpenter, form er press secretary to Lad y Bird Johnson, and representatives from the G ra y Panthers of Austin, a group com m itted to social issues, were also on hand at the Capitol to prom ote the event. "[W e w ant toj let people know they're not alone and to [get peo­ ple] to join together to be much louder and more effective," said Charlotte Flynn, a representative of the G ra y Panthers. "G et U p ... Stand up! R ally for O ur Rights" w'ill have more than 50 nonprofit organizations present to educate the public on how to make its voice heard in the political arena.

Robert Downey Jr.. after spotting a stack of beers during the Sundance Film Festival Friday, January 31, 2 00 3 Film proves that ‘Talk’ isn t cheap By Justin Webb Daily Texan Staff Talk to Her opens and ends with characters from the film watching performances. In the beginning, Marco (Dario Grandinetti) and Benigno (Javier C am ara) sit together looking on at a stum ­ bling ballerina. M an co stares with tears in his eyes as he sees the bal­ lerina accompanied by a strange man moving obstacles out of her w ay so that she will not fall. T \ l k ID 111 It * “ * * 1 S t u l h i n c : Ja v ie r C a m a r a I)|R I I ' l l l> Bl: Pedro Mmodovar In the end, the dancing is much more gentle and structured, involving a row of m en and w om en gliding across the stage in unison. Ironically, the members of the tw o audiences looking at these performances have a far more interesting story to tell. Pedro Almodovar, a Spanish filmmaker known for taking his audience into realms of strange confrontation, has followed in the footsteps of his previous work such as A ll About M y Mother and done it again. Although Talk to Her is already firmly grasping’a Golden Globe, it will be hard- pressed to match its accomplish­ m ent at the Academy Awards this year. Due to the fact that Spain already has a film subm it­ ted to the Academy to be consid­ ered for Best Foreign Film, Talk to Her would only be eligible in the other categories. While a nod fol­ low ed u p by a w in for Best Picture is theoretically possible, it is extremely unlikely given past Oscar trends. Marco's love interest, a female bullfighter named Lydia (Rosario Flores), has been recently skew­ ered by a bull and sent into a coma. Marco then dedicates his d ays a n d nights to roam ing through the clinic and waiting by her side for her to awake. During this process of vagrancy, as Marco gazes through open doorw ays at patients and medical personnel, Benigno sees and recognizes him as the m an that cried next to him during the plav they both attend­ ed. * I j \ j Benigno, who works on the clinics staff full time, spends his •lays treating and talking to Alicia (Leonor Walling), a w om an w hom he knew briefly and for w hom he developed feelings before she sank into a coma. Even in her unconscious state, Benigno's obsession for her grow s to an almost frightening level. At the core of Talk to Her is the relationship between Marco and Benigno. As neither of them is able to speak to the woman that the v love, Marco and Benigno pass the days comforting one another and becom ing best friends in the process. Though doctors inform Marco that m uch of I ydia's brain is dead and that she cannot hear, speak or think, Benigno tells him that he should talk to her anyway, assuring him t h e "m ind of a w om an is a strange thing," and not even medical science can explain it. of The entire cast does an excep- tional job in the acting depart­ ment. Above all others though, Camara gives perhaps the m ost heartfelt perform ance in his por­ trayal love-stricken the Benigno. I le does such a w on­ d e r f u l job, in fact, that even as Benigno's horrifying actions are revealed, it is still possible for the audience to be brought to a cer- tain level of sym pathy for his pain. While no am ount of audi­ ence identification and sym pathy can justify the actions of his char­ acter, this is certainly no fault of the acting. A w ord of w arning to the closed-minded: A lm odovar's tale is one with rather disquieting and stirring elements that are best embraced with an open mind, the A lm odovar does not see w orld rose-colored through glasses; his are constantly shifting in color. Talk to Her dem onstrates th a t love is not a uniformly ruled system w ith a neat beginning or end It can bring about comfort, life, condemnation or death. Talk To Her uses powerful tools of both tranquility and horror while conveying that love can be both healing and harming: medi- cine or poison. j j j j j s j ¡ j j j j j j j j j j : ; Pedro Almodovar's Golden Globe-winning film hits Austin theaters today.

Pacino and Farrell may ‘Recruit7 more followers By Brian Clark Daily Texan Staff The Recruit essentially throws a blanket over the viewers’ eyes and then spins them around m ercilessly for 105 m inutes, hurting tw is t after tw is t at the audience until the credits finally roll. For those who c a n ’t get enough of this so rt of thing, the film is directed and acted well enough to be sat­ isfying. However, its hollow, recycled characters keep it from accom plishing anything more. T h e R k c r i it * * * '" St u IRINC: \ l P acin o, Colin Farrell I)mi n i l » B y: R oger D onald son D irector Roger Donaldson weaves two sections th a t could have been separate movies together quite smoothly. The firs t half fo l­ lows CIA recruit James Clayton (Colin Farell) through a rigorous training camp where things a re n’t as they seem. Soon, his gruff m entor William Burke (Al Pacino) cat­ apults him into real world espionage where even more things aren’t as they seem. The pace is quick, and many of the scenes build a good am ount of suspense before throwing another curveball. W hat could have set The Recruit apart from every other slick, unpredictable spy movie is its pairing of film veteran Pacino with much- hyped newcomer Farrell. While both perform ances are solid, the script keeps either actor from really establishing him self. Very early in the film , when Pacino delivers, “The firs t thing I’m going to teach you is th a t you d on’t know shit," with his usual manic gusto, it ’s exciting and amusing. But by the end of the movie he’s done little more than paraphrase the same line over and over. Farrell plays a young hot- shot, making good on his many com parisons to a young Tom Cruise. He arches his eyebrows at the right time, delivers one-liners with a coolness th a t can’t be learned and woos women in ways m ost only dream about. However, this character has been done before, and nei­ ther Farrell nor the script brings anything new to it. Both actors are clearly ta l­ ented, and watching them is always entertaining, but never riveting. The film is n ’t either, but everything is so slick and fast-paced, it suc­ ceeds as a m odest, en ter­ taining espionage thriller.
