Covering topics such as w ork­ fo rce tr a in in g and e d u ca tio n , transportation improvements and curbing city sprawl, the hour-long meeting featured community lead­ ers challenging representatives of the high-tech com m unity to play an active role in ensuring Austin's long-term prosperity. Peter Zandan, co-chairm an of 360.00 Summit, said the growth of Austin has bred a need for a fruit­ ful dialogue between the local and technological communities. "The technological com m unity is now in te rd e p e n d e n t on the A u stin co m m u n ity , and v ice versa," Zandan said. "The techno­ logical community is now 20 per­ cent of A u stin's em ploym ent, so w e k no w w e 're h a v in g a big impact on the community."

Brendan Maloney/DAiLY TEXAN STAFF Teach-in focuses on Kissinger visit Neil Gilbert D aily Texan S ta ff Several campus and community groups awaiting Henry Kissinger's visit to the UT campus next week expressed their dislike for the form er U.S. secretary of state at a public gathering Tuesday at Bass Lecture Hall. A bout 150 A ustinites, inclu d ing som e members of the UT community, attended a teach-in sponsored by UT Radical Action Network and Peace Action Austin to hear speakers denounce Kissinger's foreign pol­ icy during his tenure. At the teach-in — a m eeting organized to educate the public on issues that w arrant political action — the speakers focused on his alleged war crimes committed against Southeast Asia, Chile and East Timor. Several groups are planning to protest before and during Kissinger's speech Feb. 1 to express their belief that the University should not host Kissinger. Speakers Robert Jensen, associate profes­ sor of journalism, Robert Buzzanco, associ­ ate professor of history at the University of H o u sto n , and R ahul M ah ajan , p h y sics g ra d u a te s tu d e n t, said th e y h o p ed to inform people of Kissinger's record. They said Kissinger supported a foreign policy th a t m any b e lie v e led to tra g e d y and upheaval of governm ents in other coun­ tries. T h e sp e a k e rs sa id th a t K is s in g e r 's alleged crimes during his tenure were typi­ cal of the U nited S ta te s' foreig n p o licy since World War II. Mahajan, whose speech centered around Kissinger's alleged role in the East Timor bom bing and the subsequent violence in that country, said the public shouldn't tol­ erate people who commit war crimes. "The biggest obstacle we face in every­ thing we do is public apathy," said M aha­ jan. T h e sp e ech e s w ere im m ed iately fo l­ low ed by a question-and-answ er session between the audience and the speakers. W'ith protests planned for next Tuesday at 5 p.m. in front of the LBJ Auditorium, Buzzanco said he hopes that people can learn from the past to know more about the present. "It is important to have an informed citi­ zenry," Buzzanco said. Je n n ife r G re e n fie ld , a UT g ra d u a te, attended the meeting to gain more knowl­ edge about Kissinger's history. "I guess I'm just here to get more infor­ mation," Greenfield said. K issinger's visit to the University is part of the Harry Middleton Lectureship Series. This series has included speakers such as form er P resid en t Jim m y Carter, form er President Gerald Ford and actor Michael York.

Brendan Maloney/DAILY TEXAN STAFF City’s light rail plan moves ahead Officials heading to Washington, D.C. to discuss proposal Ashley Kosiewicz Daily Texan Staff Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, Cap­ ital Metro Board of Directors Chair­ man Lee Walker, and Capital Metro G eneral M anager Karen Rae are planning their first trip together to W ashington this week to discuss the city's light rail proposal with U.S. government officials. While Rae and Walker have pre­ viously visited W ashington over the course of the proposal's devel­ o p m en t, the trip w ill be M ayor Watson's first to the nation's capital concerning the light rail proposal. C a p ita l M etro su b m itted the Red/G reen Line light rail proposal to the Federal Transit Administra­ tion in mid-November in an effort to win New Starts Federal Funding — fed eral fund s earm arked for innovative transportation projects. The plan extends rail from McNeil Road to the Central Business Dis­ trict, and incorporates a planned extension to Slaughter Lane via rail or bus transit. An east-west rail cor­ ridor from the Seaholm area to the Pleasant Valley area is also includ­ ed. W atson said he w ill talk with Nuria Fernandez, administrator of the Federal Transit Administration, and the W hite House director of intergovernmental affairs about the merits of the proposal and the like­ lihood of federal funding. The out­ com e of this m eeting is likely to affect whether the public referen­ dum on light rail is held in May or November. "I hope to have additional infor­ m ation to put into the d ecisio n ­ making matrix about when is the best time for an election related to light rail, so I, as mayor, can make a strong recom m endation," Watson said. "W e need to know how the FTAB [Federal Transit Administra­ tion Budget] is going to be operated this year going into an election, and how money is being earmarked." Watson added that holding the referendum in May could leave citi­ zens without enough time for pub­ lic participation and involvement. "M ay concerns me because it is the third election in three months, with the March primar)', a possible runoff, and city elections," Watson said. Rae said the trip aims to gather inform ation from Fernandez and other officials about the project's future. WASHINGTON/Page 2 Yale study: hair affects self esteem Teach Associated Press NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Bad hair d ays affect not just w h at's on your head, b ut w hat's in it. A Yale U n iv e rsity s tu d y of th e psychology of bad hair days found that people's self-esteem goes aw ry w hen their hair is out of place.

Microsoft’s fate in question Associated Press W A S H IN G T O N — S ig n a lin g a potential d ivision w ith in ranks that could complicate settlement talks and the next im p o rtan t phase of the Microsoft trial, some states active in the case believe the Justice D epart­ m ent's plan to break up one of the w o rld 's most successful companies may not be the best solution. Although debate continues in secret among the 19 state attorneys general deciding w hat to recommend about Microsoft Corp., there is a risk the gov­ ernment might fail to bring a unified proposal on sanctions to U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. H e previously told government lawyers b lun tly to agree among themselves before they present in court any plan for sanctions. " I w ould not like to have to deal with divergent points of view ," Jack­ son told them in a private meeting in November. Illustrating the difficulties in achiev­ ing such consensus, Ohio's attorney g eneral in d icated she is leanin g toward a ban on some of Microsoft's behavior toward others in the technol­ ogy industry. Calling the dilemma "the most diffi­ cult professional decision I ever got involved with," Ohio Attorney Gener­ al Betty Montgomery told The Associ­ ated Press that a breakup of Microsoft "has never been on my top list." "1 have to tell you that m y bias is toward a conduct resolution, but again if s too early to be specific," said Mont­ gomery. "Quite frankly, I indicated to my staff when we started this lawsuit that I was not looking out for a struc­ tural solution as much as a conduct solution." A n o fficia l in another of the 19 states, sp eakin g on co n d itio n of anonymity, hinted that a breakup — co n sid ered the "d e a th p e n a lty " among possible remedies — m ight be too disruptive for consumers. M ontgom ery said she w as con­ cerned that Microsoft could unfairly dominate Internet commerce, saying, "The reason 1 got into the litigation was because I did not want one toll- gate at the e-commerce highway." The next round of cou rtro om arguments w ill be Feb. 22.

W A SH IN G T O N — Virtually dou­ bling the size of the budget battle­ field this election year, the Congres­ sional Budget O ffice said Tuesday that it now expects federal surpluses o ve r the next d ecad e to to tal as much as a gigantic $1.9 trillion. W ith the soaring economy pour­ ing b illions in unforeseen revenue into federal coffers, President C lin ­ ton said he w ill propose paying off the governm ent's entire $3.6 trillion fed erally held debt by 2013. That would be two years earlier than he has previously aimed for, and w ould put him a step ahead o f H o u se Republicans, w ho are working on a plan to pay off that portion of the debt by 2015. The surplus estimate by C B O , for the 10 years en d in g 2010, represents a near doubling of a $1 trillion forecast it issued only last July. The figures exclude Social Secu­ rity funds. Both sides im m ed iately claim ed credit for the good news. "W e got h ere b y m aking h ard choices and stickin g to a strategy that works, that builds opportunity and reinforces responsibility," C lin ­ ton said at the W h ite H o u se. " I remain committed to that strategy. I ask the Republican m ajority in Con­ gress to put politics aside and join me." In a w ritte n statem en t, H o u se Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said, "W e have this surplus because of the hard w ork of the Am erican people, because of the h ealth y A m erican economy and because of prudent fis­ cal p o lic ie s ch a m p io n ed by the Republican Congress." The ballooning surplus estimates b y C B O , C o n g re ss' n o n p a rtisa n budget analyst, mean there w ill be even more money at stake this elec­ tion year as both parties' presiden­ tial candidates, as w ell as C lin to n and Congress, battle over how much of it to use fo r p ossib le tax cuts, spending increases and debt reduc­ Am ong the politicians for whom the forecast was good news is G O P p resid ential contender G eorge W . Bush, who has proposed a five-year, $483 b illio n tax cu t that cou ld be paid for by the new numbers. Some, including Republican candidate Sen. Jo h n M cC a in , R - A riz ., h a ve said Bush's plan eats up too much of the projected surplus. Because of likely political gridlock on issues this year, m any analysts expect that most of the surplus for fiscal 2001 — which begins next Oct. 1 — w ill go for debt reduction. C BO projected next year's surplus at up to $69 billion, plus another $166 b il­ lion in Social Security surpluses. Clinton provided no details about how he w ould elim inate the publicly held debt, which is money fire gov­ ernm ent ow es investors w ho hold Treasury bonds, bills and notes. The remaining $2 trillion of the $5.7 tril­ lion national debt is money held by the Social Secu rity and other trust funds. Clinton said his plan, to be includ­ ed in the fis c a l 2001 b u d g et he releases Feb. 7, w ill devote interest savings to Social Security, extending its solvency beyond 2050. It w ill also seek to ensure M edicare's su rvival until at least 2025, he said. Taking a swipe at Republicans, the president said the national debt is $1.7 trillio n less this year than was projected w h en he took office in 1993, despite "rep eated efforts to push us off the path of fiscal disci­ p lin e w ith large and irresponsible tax cuts." But G O P lawm akers scoffed at his p lan , n o tin g that he has a lre a d y revealed dozens of budget proposals that w ill cost tens of billions of dol­ lars. " If you're spiritual, it seems kind of m iraculous" that he can elim inate the debt and boost spending, said Senate Budget Comm ittee Chairm an Pete D om enici, R -N .M .

Peru's top drug boss captured in jungle 1 1M A, Peru — President Alberto Fujimori said Tuesday that police had captured the chief of Peru's top drug cartel in the Amazon jungle. Adolfo Cachique was arrested early Tuesday in the central jungle province of Contamana along the banks of the Ucayali River, 355 miles northeast of lim a. Fujim ori described Cachique and his brothers as lead in g "th e most important narcotics gang operating in Peru," and said the alleged drug boss was a major supplier of cocaine to the United States. Cachique's brother, Segundo, was arrested last month in a raid on a hid­ den camp near the border w ith Brazil.

Sure, all true A m erican s love the au to m o bile, but the affair seem s a bit more passionate in the Lone S tar S tate . P erh aps the p erso n al veh icle is a throw back to the m ythical lone cowboy, inde­ pendent and free to roam open territory with his trusty steed. W hatever the reason, Texans' sole reliance upon the passenger vehicle has created an inefficient transit system that is now choking the cities it is supposed to serve. M uch has been m ade of recent attem p ts to a d d ress A u stin 's p ro b lem s o f urban tran sit. According to the Texas Transportation Institute, the average Austinite spends 53 hours per year delayed in traffic. Two current city projects are aimed at addressing the problems of traffic con­ gestion: a proposed light-rail line would link out­ lying suburbs with the city's center, and a Com­ prehensive Downtown Parking Study is under­ way. "Downtown is quickly becom ing a thriving, 24-hour focal point where we can live, work and entertain," Mayor Kirk Watson says. "This park­ ing study will provide us with valuable informa­ tion that will help residents, employees and busi­ nesses downtown conduct their activities more conveniently.' Smart Growth proponents seem to be ta r g e tin g th e d e trim e n ta l e ffe c ts o f car dependency, but their solutions often overlook the student population. The typical University student engages down­ town for it's ability to entertain, and there is no denying the exciting nature of a fun night on 6th Street or in the Warehouse District. But most peo- L u k e W a d e T e x a n C o l u m n is t pie's experience begins with an almost ritualistic hunt for a prized parking space near their down­ town destination. It is ridiculous that the 5,643 students living on campus, and the tens of thousands more living near UT, drive their vehicle dow ntow n at all. With a final destination less than a m ile from their residence, many students spend more time tooling around for parking than actually driving dow ntow n. The intelligence o f driving such a short distance in order to then, only a few hours later, attempt to make your way back home in an impaired and possibly illegal state is also quite dubious. Really though, what other options do we have? Capital Metro doesn't run late enough, or often enough to offer any real alternative. The now defunct UTDDP Shuttle never made much sense. Our city's taxi services offer a decent fare when split amongst a few friends, but response time is usually slow enough to make you consider a pre­ party. The current city proposals to ease problem s don't offer much to the student population either. Instead, solutions cater to the same suburbs that have helped exacerbate circumstances in the first place. Light rail might make it easier for someone in Leander to travel downtown, but could mean little to a student in West Campus. Solutions for nightlife transit between campus and downtown should be both a University and city issue. Efficiency of transit shouldn't just be me isu red in term s of tim e delay; there are a lto co sts in hum an life. In 1998, m o to r v e h icle act id ents accounted for 41,471 fatalities on our nation 's roads. To put that number in perspective, consid er that vehicles cause more deaths than guns in our country. Texas has a disproportionatelv large num ber of veh icles com pared to the lesser 4CJ states, and we are more likely to die or be injured by our beloved cars, trucks and S U V s than e v ei v one else too. Apart from the loss in time, money and life due to our almost singular reliance on the automobile for transit, Texans' biggest loss might be qualiri of life in our city centers. The bottom line is that a vibrant urban core requires a population density that is difficult to achieve when everyone needs a parking space for their car. The Comprehensive Downtown Parking Study currently in the works is a step in the right direction, but perhaps the city should look deeper a t why people have to drive their own car downtown in the first pla< e. O ur tr a n s p o r ta tio n sy ste m re lie s on the assumption that we are all free to drive our own car wherever we wish to go. This system worl s well if we want to travel long, lonely stretches like the proverbial horseman, but ironically falls short w hen we want to congregate only a short distance from where we live. It seems we are cap­ tive of the same invention that has also been so liberating. Wade is an architecture senior. EARTtf, 2.050 Baila ®exan R ob A d d y E ditor B r i a n D u p r e Senior Associate Editor I B u d g e t B o n a n z a On its face, President Clinton's annual federal budget looks quite promising for higher education. Citing the need for increased educational opportunity, the President is proposing modest increases in Federal Pell Grants and work study programs coupled with a tax break for middle class families with children in col­ lege. Who could argue with that? About 220 House Republicans, that7s who. Since 1994, the Clinton Administration has had to fight tooth and nail to advance each of its budget proposals, and given the current political makeup of Congress and the impending 2000 presidential elections, this year should be no •different. Budget negotiations are a sick and twisted game of political dealmaking. It7s up to each individual constituency to ensure that their programs don't end up on the cutting room floor. When you consider that college students are some of the least politically active adults in the country, the chances of these proposals disap­ pearing into some Congressional committee room, never to be seen again, look all too likely. ; That's a shame, since the proposals could affect nearly 8,000 students at the University of Texas alone. So what are you going to do? Start a grass-roots stu­ dent movement? Join a student lobbying organization? Conduct huge rallies and demand that our Congress make education more affordable for all? Pardon our cynicism, but we won't be holding our breath. Our generation is far more likely to get up off our collective ass to grab a beer from the fridge then we are to do anything substantial about political issues that could affect our future. Nevertheless, like clockwork, our student leaders will begin their voter regis­ tration and lobbying campaigns in the hopes that someday you might just give a damn. You will — just wait until you get the first notice from the bank about those student loans payments, exactly six months after graduation. But if there's one thing you can do, it7s write a short letter to your congressman demonstrating your support for these initiatives. (Don't worry, this is so easy that you'll be able to do it while The Real World is on a commercial break). Visit http://urumihouse.gov/zvriterep to find your hometown representative and send him or her an e-mail asking their office to support higher education propos­ als in the federal budget. At the very least, it will ease your conscience a little the next time you read some wry editorial about the political complacency of Ameri­ ca's college students.

T he F ir in g L in e Show some support This firing line is in response to Dan W. Heimann's "Show some class" in yesterday's paper: The Allen Field House, Cameron Arena, Gallagher- Iba Arena ... what do they all have in common? They are a few of the most feared arenas in the nation to try to come in and steal a victory from Kansas, Duke, and Oklahom a State, respectively. What makes them so hard to win in? THE FANS!!! And not because they offer co o k ie s and punch to the v isitin g team s before the gam es either, but because they yell for their team and against the other. They abuse the visiting team for two- plus hours, trying to get in their head, make them think a b o u t th a t n ex t fre e th ro w to o lo n g and fe a r the inevitable taunting if they airball the next three-pointer 1.. so they pass, or better yet, turn the ball over to us. ¿Score one for the fans. No, it doesn't always work that way. Some guys thrive off of the noise, but others cower away, which is what makes it so important to the game. W hen I yell at an opposing player during a game though, th at's exactly w hat it is — part of the game, part of competition. If I bumped into that same player on the street or an opposing team 's fan in the work place, I'm not going start cursing his school or name by th e w ater cooler. W e'd p robably b u llsh it about last night's game, where we were at each o th er's throats, and be friends. It's all part of the game. Take a notion from the players. They all trash talk during the game, pound on each other, and try to intim­ idate each other, but they always shake hands at the end and leave the game on the court, recognizing all that cam e before that as good competition and part of the game. launting is not the classless discredit to a university Mr. H eim ann m akes it out to be. Duke is one of the most respected institutions academically and athletical­ ly in the nation, but I assure you the Cameron Crazies aren't reading Bible stories to the Tar Heels bench dur­ ing that rival game. They are what make it so hard to win in Duke and we need to have that same atmosphere 4 t the Erwin Center, DKR, Disch-Falk, or wherever. ; With all that said, the number one priority of a Long- h o rn fan sh o u ld be to su p p o rt o u r m en and women who are busting th e ir ass for th is great University.

Ian Benoist UT alum War criminals unwelcome Did you know that a war crim inal is speaking on campus next week? There is much talk these days, and even some action, about holding people accountable for war crim es in places such as Serbia and Rwanda. Unfortunately no one talks, let alone acts, when war crimes are commit­ ted by leaders of the United States. If consistent stan­ dards were applied, first in the dock would undoubted­ ly be former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. For eight years, Kissinger was at the center of crafting a brutal U.S. foreign policy that resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths around the world. He was one of the principal architects in the continuation of the U.S. war on Vietnam, one of the most immoral acts of the past half-century, and of the "secret" saturation bombing of Cambodia. He had-no qualms about sup­ porting Pinochet's coup against a democratically elect­ ed governm en t in C hile or g iving the go-ahead for In d o n e s ia 's g en o cid al invasion of East Timor. D esp ite this h o rren ­ dous record, K issinger continues to be treated as an eld er statesm an. On Feb. 1 at 6 p.m., he w ill speak in the LBJ A uditorium as part of an LBJ Library series. Many of us will be there to greet him and say clearly: U T should not welcome war criminals. Details about the protest and about Kissinger's record are a v a ila b le th e W orld W id e W eb at http:liwww.nowarc0llectivc.comlkissiiwer.htm or bv calline 471-1990. on Although Kissinger is no longer a policy-maker, he runs a consulting business, sits on the boards of major corp oration s (including Freeport M cM oRan), and is treated by the mainstream media as a respected com ­ mentator. It s not likely he'll ever face a war crimes tri­ bunal, but w e citizens must do our best to hold him accountable for his crimes, by showing him that war criminals are not welcome here.

Mr. Ross concedes that the C o n fed erate flag is "a sym bol of slavery, h ate and oppression If he is a true Southerner, he might w ant to share the beauty of his culture with the rest of the coun try instead of choosing to highlight the darkest mistake of its past. He asked to not have the Confederate flag compared to "a regime that relentlessly sought out and slaughtered over 6 million people without a reason." 1 ask him to please not take such an innocent and igno rant view of displaying the Confederate flag.

I am also a Southerner and proud of that I act, but more importantly, I am an American. This entire country has at one time or another been in the control of another nation. If Mr. Ross is going to fly the C on fed erate flag as a symbol of his heritage, he should also fly all other flags that used to fly over the land he calls his home.

The DHFS established the dorm lottery in December 1998 to alleviate housing problems caused by an overload of students vying for limited on-campus dorms. The lottery requires all current and transfer students requesting on-cam pus housing to apply for a dorm space online or in person each semester, said Sheila Ochner, DHFS asso­ ciate director of administrative services. Although 3,111 students applied to the lot­ tery for fall 2000, only 2,788 students complet­ ed the application process by paying the $10 application fee by the Jan. 24 deadline, Ochner said. About 1,770 spaces are available to lottery participants, including almost 220 spaces set aside for Resident Assistant staff and Universi­ ty Residence Hall Association Governm ent leaders. In early February, the Division of Housing and Food Services will begin mailing room contracts to students selected in the lottery. Those students not selected in the lottery may not be contacted until August, Ochner added. “If they are committed to living on campus, they should stay on the waiting list," she said. “I believe there will be space for them in the fall, but not until summer." Ochner said incoming freshmen are given first priority and are guaranteed rooms, and all other lottery applicants are given second prior­ ity. She added that the goal is to have 70 percent first-time freshmen and 30 percent of lottery participants living in the dorms in fall 2000. Ochner said that because students are most likely to withdraw from a university during their freshm an year, they are guaranteed spaces to combat this problem. "As students become more experienced over the years they become more confident," said Ochner. "In my mind [residence halls are] the best place to live." Karen Escoto, a business freshman who lives in Kinsolving Dormitory, said she is glad she was able to live on campus during her first year in college. "For me, living on cam pus has made the transition much easier because of the conven­ ience of being close to classes and activities," Escoto said. Ochner said the need for on-campus hous­ ing will be evaluated each year to see if the lot­ tery is necessary. "H ou sing is self-supportive. We have to build as the money comes," Ochner said. This semester, 5,600 students and resident staff members are living in on-campus dorms. A new residence hall currently under construc­ tion at the north end of Clark Field will create 360 additional spaces in Fall 2000, and 500 more in Spring 2001. "We want to be able to provide housing to anyone who wants to live near their classy," Ochner said. Blanton Dormitory residents Melissa Brezik, a sophomore liberal arts major, and her roommate Mysha Williams, a freshman elementary education major, anxiously await the results of the housing lottery so they can plan for next year. Dave Harding/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Cafeteria closes for remodeling Fabiola Savinovich Daily Texan Staff UT Division of Housing and Food Services closed the first-floor cafete­ ria of Beauford H. Jester Center this w eek to prepare for a remodeling project that will begin in February. DHFS officials said the remodel­ ing project, which will cost about $5.5 million, will bring better service as well as more food choices to stu­ dents and faculty. The new cafeteria, which should be com pleted in mid-August, will h av e im p ro ved p lu m bin g and w iring. It w ill offer food options such as an ethnic food stand, a coffee bar, a grill and vegetarian meals, said Murray Stopherd, the DHFS associ­ ate director. The cafeteria will also have social and study areas, S to ­ pherd added. "We are doing this because we work with students," he said. "We find out what they want and try to improve it." The cafeteria will allow students to either eat inside or take food to go, a service that is currently prohibited in all the cafeterias, Stopherd said. It w ill also offer continuous service from 7 a.m. to midnight and accept regular dollars, making it available to students who don't have a meal plan. Two other cafeterias will remain open in Jester w hile the first floor cafeteria is under construction. Juan Carlos Echartea, a Jester resi­ dent, said he h as already exp eri­ enced some inconvenience with the closing of the first floor cafeteria. "The other cafeterias sometimes get too crowded, so sometimes I just prefer to eat somewhere else," said Echartea, an aerospace engineering freshman. A lthough the lunch crowd has been larger since the first floor cafe­ teria closed, employees in the other cafeterias said the closing has not caused any major problems. To avoid larger crowds, students may also use their Dining Dollars, the DHFS currency, which is allotted on student identification cards, at Wendy's and Chick-fil-A in the Texas Union. The 30-year-old cafeteria was last rem odeled in 1985 and has since served more than 20 million meals. Stopherd said the new cafeteria will serve as a showcase for new stu­ dents and parents because it is locat­ ed in front of the'orientation audito­ rium. UT Southwestern to join AIDS alliance Amanda Sammons Daily Texan Staff The UT S o u th w estern M ed ical Center in Dallas will use a five-year, $4-million grant to form an alliance with a world leader in H IV /A ID S research, officials said Tuesday. UT So u th w estern w ill use the grant, approved in mid-January, to become a member of the Adult AIDS Clinical Trials Group, which sets stan­ dards for care of HIV patients and studies HIV medication and preven­ tion strategies. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a center that works to diagnose, treat and prevent infectious diseases world-wide, gave UT Southwestern the grant based on the school's expertise and com m it­ m ent to research , said C harla Andrews, manager of research areas at the UT Southwestern Medical Cen- u This grant allows us to bring cut­ ting-edge treatment options to our patients.” — Richard Koupf chief of infectious Oseases at UT Southwestern Medical Center ter HTV Resource office. A ndrew s said UT Southw estern researchers are trying to answer spe­ cific questions, such as why some people develop AIDS more quickly than others and why some patients experience better results with certain treatments. As a mem ber of the Adult AIDS Clinical Trials Group, UT Southwest­ ern will gain networking capabilities and will also have the opportunity to conduct long-term research that is more involved in patient outcomes than in studies by pharm aceutical companies, Andrews said. Dr. Richard Koup, chief of infec­ tious diseases at UT Southw estern Medical Center and head of the clini­ cal trials branch, said he believes the grant w ill allow the institu tion to keep pace in the rapidly-changing field of AIDS research. "This grant allows us to bring cut­ ting-edge treatm ent options to our patients," Koup said. "We need to be able to participate in advanced clini­ cal trials to get our patients the best care possible." Koup joined UT Southw estern in January 1997 and previously conduct­ ed research at New York City's Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, the largest privately-owned HIV / AIDS research center in the world. sponsored by ACM if you've ever had a questiorirKmt the Mgh-tech job market, we'v^pt the guy yqA pA pA A á Wednesday, Jan. 26 Taylor 2.106 7:00 pm Pizza & soda provided Come and hear what Jeff Daniel has to say about the high-tech job market and today's technical grads.

Rodm an told M avericks ow ner Mark Cuban on Tuesday that he's interested in signing on for the rest of the season, but his calendar is booked through the weekend. He previously said he wanted to delay a decision until after the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl. "I didn't get into the details of his schedule, but he can't be back before M onday," C u b an said , sm ilin g . "Nothing's been signed on the dot­ ted line yet, but we're really confi­ dent we can get to the point that we can work something out." If R odm an arrives M onday, he could d e b u t T u esd ay at hom e against Philadelphia. A roster spot is open because startin g pow er for­ w ard Gary Trent w ent on injured re serv e before T u e sd a y 's gam e against Golden State. R odm an w as not at R eunion Arena on Tuesday, but agent Steve Chasman was. "Nothing has changed," he said. "We're still in discussion with sever­ al teams. Dennis will be making a decision in the next two weeks as to which team he will play for." Cuban, a longtime season-ticket holder who m ade billions off the Internet, has been after Rodm an since agreeing to buy the team from Ross Perot Jr. a few weeks ago. Rodman had said he preferred to play for a title contender, which would've eliminated Dallas. But few other team s have pursued the 38- year-old, whose checkered past is often matched by checkered hair. Should another team be interested and have some salary cap space, it could get Rodman by offering more money. Because Dallas is over the salary cap, the most it can offer Rod­ man is about $475,000 for the rest of the season. "Until you get a name on a dotted line, anything can happen," Cuban said. R odm an has p lay ed in just 23 gam es the last tw o.seasons. H e's m ade m ore headlines for his off- court behavior, including scrapes w ith the law in N o v em b er an d December. But for all the risk he brings, his RODM AN/Page 8 Mavs top Warriors in foul-filled game DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks haven't signed Dennis Rodman yet, b u t there w ere p le n ty of fire ­ w orks w ith o u t him. In a game fea­ tu rin g th ree ejections, five tech n icals an d tw o fla g ra n t fouls — b o th against the Warriors — the Maver­ icks beat Golden State 117-103 Tues­ day night to complete a four-game season series sweep. "Nobody w ants to see anybody get h u rt," said M avericks center Sean Rooks. "We d id n 't w an t to start a rum ble. We just w anted to play ball." Michael Finley scored 30 points, 22 in the first half, to pace the Mav­ ericks, who com pleted their first sw eep of the W arriors since they w ent 5-0 against G olden State in 1986-87. Dirk Nowitzki added 23 points, and Cedric Ceballos had 18 in the M avericks' fifth victory in seven games, their most successful stretch of the season. "I don't know if they were frus­ trated or what," Ceballos said of the W arriors. "I've been the victim of flagrant fouls. Those things should­ n 't happen on the court." D allas' S haw n B radley had 15 points, a season-high 12 rebounds and three blocks before being eject­ ed in the first of two separate third- quarter incidents. Antawn Jamison's 33 points and career-high 21 rebounds paced the W arriors, who have lost 14 of 16. Sam Jacobson added a career-high 15 points for Golden State.

Near-perfect game gets UT win over Nebraska Robby Nisenfeld Daily Texan Staff Nebraska guard Cary Cochron didn't ruin everything for the Long­ horns Tuesday night. He just spoiled a perfect ending. As Texas forward Chris Owens attempted to get crowd favorite Yair Harari one shot attempt in the wan­ ing seconds of the fourth quarter, Cochran stole Owens' intended pass for the Texas walk-on and sunk the final two points of the contest. So instead of allowing the rem­ nants of an 11,242-person crowd to en ter basketball nirvana on an H arari buzzer-beater, C ochran forced Longhorns fans to settle for an ever-so-close-to-perfect 82-55 Texas blowout victory.

Duncan scored 24 points, Robinson had 22 and the Spurs opened the fourth quarter with a 19-6 run to send the Clippers to their ninth straight defeat, 105-82, Tuesday night. "We picked up the defense in the second half, and everyone realized they had to make their shots," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "L.A. has a lot of young, tal­ ented players. We picked up the defense, and it was huge for us." With Antonio Daniels leading the way w ith 11 points, the Spurs' reserves outscored Los Angeles' 41-15. Another fac­ tor was free throws; San Antonio was 26-of- 37 to only 8-of- 10 for the Clip­ pers. "T he gam e was a carryover from last game," said Robinson, w ho also tied D uncan for team -high honors with 13 rebounds. "We came out and established our defense early on. We did some good things." The Clippers, who were out-rebounded 54-36, were led by Derek A n derson's 22 points. Lamar Odom added 16. "This team has a fragile balance," Clip­ pers coach Chris Ford said. "This has been the story all year long. We play w ell for stretches, and then a costly turnover or tak­ ing a bad shot causes it to snowball." After leading 77-67 going to the fourth quarter, San Antonio put the game away with its big run, going ahead 96-73 on two free throws by Malik Rose with 6:15 to play. Los Angeles could get no closer than 19 the rpst of the way. San Antonio closed out the third quarter with a 12-4 run to take a 10-point lead into the fourth. "We concentrated good, but we h ad lulls," said San Antonio point guard Avery Johnson, who added 10 points. "A lot of people come in here and think like we think sometimes, that this should be a blowout, but they played hard. We did what we needed to do, and we got people minutes. Come playoff time, everybody needs to be ready." After trailing by as many as nine points in the second quarter, San Antonio went on a 16-1 run and led 43-37 on Terry Porter's layup with 5:23 to play before halftime. fast break SCORES NBA Indiana 93, Phoenix 87 New York at Washington, ppd., weather Cleveland 116, Detroit 107 (0T) Atlanta 96, Chicago 89 Miam i 115, Boston 89 Sacramento 110, Charlotte 99 San Antonio 105, LA.

Texas totaled 16 steals to Nebraska's six and 18 assists to the Huskers' eight. But the most telling number of the H orns' dom inance was the 28 turnovers that Nebraska committed to just 11 Texas giveaways — a feat Texas forward Gabe Muoneke attributes pri­ marily to the swarming defense of his backcourt mates.

Williams, w ho tied center Chris Mihm with a game-high 14 points, hit 4-of-5 shots from beyond the arc and was 5-of-9 overall from the floor. He burned anyone and everyone that Nebraska coach Danny Nee tried to put on him and was even able to overcome the unusual defensive tac­ tics that guard Matt Davison resorted to. Twice, when Williams pulled up for a shot over Davison, the Husker guard belted out a loud "woo," which appar­ ently in basketball lingo means to "bust a three-pointer over me." Williams obliged, both times, scoring six points in the span of a minutes. "I've been waiting a long time for this," said Williams, whose 14 points were also a career high. "It finally hap­ pened, and it feels good." The much an ticipated battle between Mihm and Nebraska center Kimani Ffriend never really material­ ized. Mihm, who had five boards and four blocks, was in foul trouble for much of the second half and was limit­ ed to 19 minutes of floor time. He did most of his damage in the first half, helping Texas erase an early 12-5 defeat, before the Horns went on a 40 11 run to close the half and take a 45-23 lead into the break. Ffriend notched 12 points, eight rebounds and five blocks, but gave a less than acceptable effort according to Nee. When asked if he was pleased with his big m an's perform ance against Mihm, Nee didn't need a long-winded answer. A very blunt "No" did the trick. Added Nee, "Everyone in the press was talking about the m atchup between Kimani and Chris. But I knew the guard play was going to be the key, and Texas was just outstanding."

It didn't take long for the Vol­ unteers to take advantage of that. Vincent Yarbrough scored 17 of his 24 points in the first half to lead No. 11 Tennessee to a 105-76 victory Tuesday night over No. 7 Auburn. "I thought we came out ready to play," Tennessee coach Jerry Green said. The Volunteers (17-2), coming off a double overtim e victory against No. 10 Florida a week ago, have the best record in the Southeastern Con­ ference and their first 5-1 SEC start since 1988-89. A crowd of 19,405 chanted "Over­ rated, overrated," as the Vols pulled away from the Tigers in the second half to avenge a 28-point defeat at Auburn last year. The Tigers, playing their fourth gam e in nine days, suffered their worst loss in four years. "Our legs were gone," coach Cliff Ellis said. "After four games in nine days, three on the road, you could see we were a tired basketball team. You could see Tennessee h ad its legs." Auburn (16-3, 4-2), which lost in overtime to Mississippi on Saturday, dropped back-to-back games for the first time since 1997-98, w hen the Tigers fell to Mississippi in the last game of the season and to Florida in the first round of the SEC tourna­ ment. The Volunteers used a pair of 9-0 runs in the first half to take a 49-32 halftime lead. The Vols shot 53 percent from the field , co n n e ctin g on 36 of 67 attempts, while the Tigers suffered through a 23-of-69 effort. Y arbrough h it 8 of 16 sh o ts, including two three-pointers, for his 24 points. He also had 10 rebounds, giving him his 12th career double­ double. "Vincent played well and scored in a variety of ways tonight," Green said. "He hit the three-pointer, shot inside and had a few tip-ins. It's hard to defend him when he does that." Isiah Victor added 19 points, and Brown vs. Crow Continued from page 7 i ASSOCIATED PRESS Tennessee's Vincent Yarbrough shoots over Auburn's Chris Porter and draws a foul in the first half Tuesday. Tony Harris, who left briefly with a bruised knee late in the first half, finished with 18 points. A uburn was led by Chris Porter with 25 points, and Daymeon Fish- back added 15.

The Cow boys senior finished the n ig h t 10-for-18 fro m th e floor, including a p air of three-pointers and five rebounds.

Texas point guard Asha Hill had a chance to tie th e gam e on the H orns' final possession, but a 15- foot baseline jum per m issed, and Texas was h an d ed its first Big 12 loss of the season. "A ll th a t can sta n d out in my m in d rig h t n o w is th a t w e got beat," Brown said. "It was a joke. They beat us up and did whatever they wanted w ith us at their place, and now it's time for them to come to Austin." W hile W oods an d B row n w ill again share tim e defending Crow Wednesday, Brown said that she w ould like m ore m inutes against OSU's top gun, who ranks second in scoring in the Big 12 (20.1 points p e r g am e) b e h in d B row n (22.5 ppg). T hat could in clu d e asking th e Texas c o a c h in g sta ff to be matched up opposite Crow, some­ thing Brown refrained from doing in the the tw o schools' last meet- ing. "I didn't say anything in the last game," Brown said. "But if I'm not on her, I'm going to ask." But no m atter w ho gets paired with Crow, Texas will need to post a much better defensive effort as a team to prevent the Cowboys from sw eeping the season series. OSU shot 48.2 percent from the floor in Stillwater and registered four scor­ ers in double figures. These were particullarly alarm ing num bers for a m o d est OSU offense, one th a t ra n k s 10th in th e co n fere n ce in field goal p e rc e n ta g e (.419) an d sixth in scoring (72.4 ppg).

But con­ ference stakes aside, it will be hard to deter Brown from her real m oti­ v a tio n in th e gam e — g e ttin g another chance at Crow. "It was a m atch up of Brown vs. Crow, and she won. That hits me personally," B row n said. "I take everything seriously on the basket­ ball court. It's to that point of my life where everything is personal. If you beat me and my team, it's like you took a low blow at my team and there's nothing I can do about it. Now I've got a second chance. First of all, it's Texas vs. OSU. But the subheading could be it's Brown vs. Crow." contest stands as her worst shoot­ ing performance of the season, and afterw ards Brown chided her own sagging defense in the loss. But the A ll-A m erican's off-the- m ark aim and lax defense against the Cowboys has little to do w ith w h y she re m e m b ers th e loss so vividly, and why she is so eagerly an tic ip a tin g the H o rn s' rem atch w ith OSU at th e E rw in C en ter. Rather, Brown has been aw aiting th is gam e to g e t a n o th e r sh o t against Crow, whom Brown accus­ es of re le n tle s s ly p u s h in g a n d shoving her throughout their last meeting and not getting deserving whistles from the officials. Brown particularly recalls the 5- foot 9-inch OSU guard hitting her w hile in midair, w hether she set­ tled for outside shots or slashed to the rim. "She did things like pushing me in the air. No one has ever done me like th a t," B row n said . "A nd it w asn't a tap. I can take a tap. But when you take me and you shove me in the air, and they d o n 't call it, it doesn't work." But despite Brown's accusations, Crow denies using any excessive or questionable force against the Texas g u a rd in th e gam e. C row said that she abstained from tightly guarding Brown on the perim eter because of her tendency to drive to th e b a s k e t an d la u g h e d w h e n asked about Brown's comments.

"If I g e t in h e r h ead or w h a te v e r to make her mess up, then that's w hat I'm going to do. But I d o n 't know w hat she means by 'cheap.'"

These days, Kearse is known as "The Freak," rather than "The Speci­ men." But as Carter predicted, Kearse is no longer a safety. Nor is he a line­ backer, the position he played in col- lege. 1 le is the left defensive end for the Tennessee Titans, holder of the rook­ ie record for sacks with 14.5 — two- and-a h alf few er than Carter, the R am s' defensive left end who led the NFL this season.

The 15 teams that snubbed him in the draft are still trying to explain to their fans why they passed him on to the Titans, who picked 16th. The main reason w as that he w as considered a "tw een er" — a little small for a defensive end, perhaps too big for a linebacker.

T he years on the bench at North­ ern Iowa. The stint stocking grocery store shelves between football gigs. The ord eal of p rov in g h im self in strange locales with nobody watch­ ing. The blind 10-year-old son. All of the above contributed to the polish ed, cool-in-the-pocket q u ar­ terback who smiled into the glare of the Super Bowl circus on Tuesday. W arner, the p ro lific St. L o u is Ram s quarterback, w asn't perturbed in the least by the triple-digit crowd that surrounded his booth on the 5- yard line at the G eorgia Dom e on m edia day, as he chatted easily with the m asses. "It's great to finally be here," he said.

"I a d m ire the w ay he h a n d le s things like these," third-string quar­ terback Joe G erm aine said . "H e 's just a cool guy." Warner found himself under pres­ sure early and sidestepped the rush on a question related to his born- a g a in C h ristia n b e lie fs. He w as asked whether he believed the Lord h ad an " a c tiv e d is li k e " for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who lost 11- 6 to the Ram s in the NFC cham pi­ onship gam e on Sunday. "H e's not out there saying 'I want these guys to win, these guys have been more faithful,"' Warner said. "I don't think it's about Him picking sides or anything like that. H e's big­ ger than a football gam e; he wants to touch p eop le's lives, and that's what my goal is." His family is bigger than a foot­ ball gam e, too. H is son, Zachary, b lin d a fte r b e in g a c c id e n ta lly dropped as an infant, keeps things nicely in perspective. "For me, to throw three intercep­ tions and get down on m yself and worry about that is a joke," Warner said. "1 can go home every day and n ot w orry a b o u t w h at p e o p le think." A lot of the questions dealt with Warner's unlikely rise to stardom. To his credit, he discussed his story for the 100th time as if it were a big scoop.

T homas' spinal cord was severely bruised, neurosurgeon Barth Green said. D o cto rs o r ig in a lly th o u g h t it m igh t h ave been se v e re d w hen Thom as, 33, w as thrown from his car Sunday after losing control on an icy highw ay near K an sas City, Mo. Thomas broke his spine and neck and wound up sem iconscious with no feeling in his legs. T hough the N FL sta r rem ained paralyzed from the chest dow n at Jackson Memorial 1 lospital, doctors expressed hope he'd walk again. "There have been cases of people w ith s im ila r in ju rie s w ho h ave recovered, and there have been peo­ ple who haven't recovered," Green said. "Anybody who knows Derrick know s that you don't bet again st him. But it's too early to tell right now. We just have to see how he does." The K a n sa s C ity C h ie fs lin e ­ backer's operation included decom­ pressing the spinal cord, stabilizing the spinal column with screws, tita­ nium rods and hooks and implanti­ ng bone grafts from Thomas' hip. D o cto rs s a id su r g e ry w ent as p la n n e d and that T h o m a s, who rem ain ed sed ate d T u esd ay afte r­ noon, could be transferred to a reha­ b ilita tio n fa c ility in a b o u t tw o weeks. He alread y has begun w orking with therapists. In the meantime, he will be sur­ rounded with fam ily and friends. H is m other, E dith M o rg an , and other relatives were at the hospital along with team m ate Jam es Hasty and former teammate Neil Smith. "Derrick is in very good spirits. H e's got his usual sense of humor, and he's taking all of this one day at a tim e," M organ said. "One of the first th in g s he s a id to m e w as, 'Mom, I'm going to have to have a lot of rehab.' But he's real positive and real o p tim istic ab o u t e v e ry ­ thing. "We know that we have a long road ahead of us, but we're going to get through this." The h ospital is the hom e of the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, the w o rld 's largest sp in al cord injury research center, and its su rg eo n s h ave operated on sev eral fam ous athletes, including race car driver Emerson Fittipaldi. Mike Tellis, one of Thomas' two pas­ sengers in the car, was killed as they were en route to Kansas City Interna­ tional Airport for a trip to the NFC C h am pion sh ip gam e in St. Louis. Thomas' car flipped several times. Thom as and Tellis, 49, of Kansas City, Kan., were not w earing seat belts and were thrown from the car, police said. Tellis was killed instant­ ly. A third man in the car who was wearing a seat belt w as treated and released. Thomas holds the NFL one-game record for sacks with seven.

She slept on egg-carton mattresses at night but still awoke with searing pains in the m iddle of her back. Som e specialists attributed her pain to the open-heart surgery she had at the age of five. Now, h a v in g p r a c tic e d y o g a tw ice a w eek for the p a s t tw o years, Milton is completely cured. "I have no back pain at all any­ more," said the 31-year-old com ­ puter system s analyst. "Yoga has totally changed my life." M ilton is on e of m illio n s of A m ericans who have discovered the physical and medical benefits of y o g a , a c c la im e d by d o c to r s a ro u n d the w o rld for its health benefits. According to Laura Ben­ ton, an Austin instructor wrho has p racticed y o ga for 23 ye a rs, the recent popu larity of yo ga can be attributed to the increasingly com­ p licated lives o f m odern A m eri­ cans. "Life is getting more and more intense, and people are having to deal with more information on a regular and constant basis," Benton said. "People know that yoga can help them through that, to manage their energy, stress level and physi­ cal well-being." C u rren tly, there are s o m e 40 types of yoga, each of which caters to the p a r t i c i p a n t 's p a r t i c u l a r needs. Teresa Davidson, a biomed­ i c a l en g in e e r and yo ga research consultant, said people are looking to the practice for more than just exercise. "As life and t e c h n o l o g y change faster, 1 think people are looking tor the se n se of p e ac e yo ga gives you, for a place where all you get to know for an hour is y o u r­ self," she said. "You get to reconnect and rebal­ ance, not in any hokey New Age way, but in a real, physical way." — Certain types of voga are specifi- cally meant to be spiritual sources of i nergv. S tu d e n ts who p u r s u e yog - from the spiritual aspect seek to ■ -anscend to a higher conscious- ncv through meditation, thought processes, breath work and chant­ ed mantras — words and phrases intended to help with relaxation.

"What makes yoga special is it is p o i n t - s p e c i f i c , " s a i d D e v o n Dederich, who h as tau gh t yo ga for 20 years. "You work on places w h ere i n d i v i d u a l s can p ic k up tension. G oing for a run is good, but it d oesn 't open up the spine or loosen up your back or legs." A l e s s a n d r a B u r e n in , a y o g a in stru c to r at C a s a de Luz, said a l t h o u g h y o g a ca n im p r o v e health, people should be aware of the risks. "Yoga is as pow erful as water o v e r a rock — afte r time w ater ch a n g e s the rock," she sa id . "If yoga is done consistently wrong then [negative] changes can h ap­ pen." Yoga places the body in vulner­ able positions, and Burenin said the body can feel turned inside- out. She s u g g e s te d people listen to th e ir b o d i e s a n d not p u s h themselves too far. "There should not be pain with yoga, but pain for one could be a e l s e , " fo r s t r e t c h Burenin said. s o m e o n e N o s t y l e is s a i d to be b e tte r than another, Davidson said.

Kathy Craig (standing), a yoga instructor at the UT School of Nursing's Community Women s W elln ess Center, pushes Novetzke to align his back horizontally. Iyengar Yoga, the style of yoga Kale and Novetzke are practicing, mainly focuses on alignment of the body. c a u s e d bv at the University of Pennsylvania M e d ic a l S ch o o l, y o g a e a s e s the pain of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a nerve disorder of the hand co m ­ m on ly r e p e t i t i v e motions such as typing. The study found that a simple yoga program w as better at reducin g pain and im p r o v in g the h and strength of patients than conventional treat­ ment. Similar studies show yoga to be e x c e l le n t for th o se r e c o v e r i n g trom psych olog ically and p h y s i­ cally dem an d in g treatments such as surgery or chemotherapy.* "I on ce ta u g h t a c a r d ia c - c a r e s a i d . y o g a c l a s s , " D a v i d s o n " E v e r y o n e in th e re h a d h a d a heart attack, s o m e even a heart transplant.

Jessica Green used yoga to help her through a m om entous year in h er life.

"Som e of the m oves were m odi­ fied, of course," said Green, a UT sta ff member. "B u t we stretched d ifferen t p a r ts of the b o d y that m a y be a c h y b e c a u s e o f o u r babies. We also dealt with breath­ ing and relaxation techniques that helped during labor." A little g r o u p th e r a p y d e v e l ­ oped along with the stretches and poses. Green said the class provid­ ed a place to talk, and m em b ers s ta y e d in form ed of each o th e r 's du e d ates. The y o g a center p r o ­ vides a similarly intimate environ­ ment for both m others and their babies after childbirth. Green said she can't wait to take her now 12- d a y - o l d s o n E lija h w ith her to class. "I'm definitely doing the p o st­ partum class as soon as I've recov­ ered a little more and as soon as Elijah's about 3-weeks-old," Green said. "I'm really excited about it." Yoga is obviously not a cure for su ch c o n d it i o n s a s cancer, d ia - < betes or the com m on cold, D e d ­ erich said. But it can be a form of preventative medicine, by m l e a s ­ ing energy so the bo d y be co m e s less susceptible to certain illness­ es. In general, it can help people b e c o m e m o r e r e l a x e d a n d l e s s stressed when dealing with physi­ cal or psychological problems.

Ben Trollinger Daily Texan Staff As I sat w atching the trem endous new documentary Genghis Blues, about blind blues musician Paul Pena's jour­ ney from San Francisco to the annual throat-singing com petition in the dis­ tant land of Tuva, I grew p ain fu lly aware of a middle-aged woman inces­ santly talking a few seats over. "Sh e isn 't using her cell ph one is sh e?" I thought. I didn't have the vitriol or the nerve to shush her, so instead I turned to my friend and asked, "W hy w on't that woman stop talking?" " B e c a u s e " , m y v ery p e rc e p tiv e friend w h isp ered , "h e r h u sb an d is blind." "O h," I said, "You mean she's inter­ preting for him?" Call it a crash course in sensitivity training. O nly later did I realize how m uch that incident had to do, at least indirect­ ly, with the film. Aside from the obvi­ ous con n ection b etw een the shared impairment of Paul Pena and the gen­ tlem en sitting a few seats to my left, Genghis Blues is about wildly different cultures and perspectives converging — East meets West, sight meets sound. Not only was I trying to understand how Paul Pena perceives the world, I w as try in g to u n d e rsta n d how m y blind neighbor was perceiving the film. Surely his perception differs from mine, yet there seems to be something viscer­ al and deep down that we both share. G en gh is is th at kind o f film . It is about much more than what is lying on the surface. A similarly affecting docu­ m entary that com es to m ind is Errol Morris' Gates o f Heaven, a film that is apparently about two pet cemeteries, but ends up striking something much d ee p e r in o u r c o n s c io u s n e s s . P aul Pena's story is like this. During a bout of insomnia, Paul acci­ dentally picks up a signal on his short­ wave radio from Radio Moscow. The station is playing a strange form of cen­ tral Asian folk music called khoomei, or Tuvan throat-singing. It is a harmonic form of singing in which the performer can produce several notes at once with carefully learned vocal techniques. Paul immediately falls in love with it. It's a kind of music that instantly speaks to him in the same way that a nascent lis­ te n in g o f R o b e rt Jo h n s o n 's m u sic would. For five years, Paul slow ly tries to learn traditional Tuvan songs and even makes an effort to learn their language by translating Tuvan into Russian and then Russian into English. By no means is this an easy task. Finally, after years of studying throat singing, Paul gets an opportunity to hear authen tic Tuvan throat singers perform live in San Francisco. In the auditorium lobby, renow ned knoomei m aster K ongar-ol O nd ar graciou sly greets his fans. Paul sits in the back of the crowd patiently listening. Im pul­ sively he breaks out into a traditional Tuvan song, w hich instantly am azes Ondar. Ondar is so im pressed with Paul's Spring Movies Continued from page 13 w as a n c ie n t R o m e , s ta r r in g R u s ­ s e l l C r o w e a s a f a l l e n g e n e r a l w h o b eco m es a g la d ia to r.

Genghis Blues docum ents Pena's surreal journey. GENGHIS BLUES Starring: Paul Pena, Kongar-ol Ondar Director: Roco Belie Playing at: Arbor Grade: 3.6 (on a 4.0 scale) talent and interest in the Tuvan culture that he invites him to the annual throat- singing competition in the independent republic of Tuva (North of Mongolia on the map). Paul leaves for Tuva along with an eccentric San Francicso DJ, doc- um en tarian s A drian and Roko Belie and the g h o st of the fam ou s p hysi­ cist/adventurer Richard Feynman. T h e film is, fo r la ck o f a b e tte r w o rd , su rre a l. Try n o t to lau g h as Paul and com pany sum m on the spirit of the staunch atheist Richard Feyn­ man, who w as one of the first Am eri­ cans to set foot on Tuvan soil. But the film is more than a quirky story or an am u sin g anecd ote. The Belie broth­ ers, who produced and directed the film, are far from shrew d exploiters. They obviously have a deep respect for Paul. Pena would be an interesting subject for a documentary even if he had never even heard of the free republic of Tuva. He's played guitar with a W ho's Who of blues artists — M uddy Waters, T- Bone Walker and John Lee Hooker, to name a few. He even wrote the Steve M ille r B and h it " B ig Je t A ir lin e r " (Paul's version is much better). B ut w h ile his life h as had its fun moments, it has also been tough. Paul must take anti-depressants every day and has recently been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas. But for Paul, the most profound struggle is overcoming the confusing environment that he can­ not see. In Tuva, how ever, Paul is treated like royalty. T he Tuvan recep tion is so w a rm , in fa ct, th a t he d o e s n 't w ant to go back to A m erica. It's easy to s e e why. H e w in s th e a u d ie n c e favorite aw ard at the throat-singing c o n t e s t a n d is g ra c e d w ith m o re a tte n tio n an d accla m a tio n th a n he has ever had, and probably w ill ever have. H e rises from relative ob scu ri­ ty to virtual deity to hopefully som e­ w here in betw een after the release of the film . M oney seem s to be the only ob stacle k eep in g Paul from b e co m ­ ing a fu ll-tim e Tuvan resid en t. For d etails on the Paul Pena fund see the G enghis Blues Web site (m w w .genghis- b lu e s .c o m — a ll d o n a tio n s a re tax deductible). Genghis is one the best films o f the year, bu t not necessarily becau se it's cinematic. The film is crudely shot on video cam eras and is obviously beset by technical strictures. Yet the film easi­ ly transcends all that. The pathos and hum anity o f Paul P ena's bittersw eet story is crystal clear, no matter what it looks like on the screen. I have the feel­ ing that the fellow sitting a few seats down from m e would agree.

L o n g h o r n H o r o s c o p e s BY NATALIE BURGIN - bunsburxhi@boinuiil.amt happen just to mess up your day. Once you deal with this fact, let the bad stuff slide off your shoulders. There is a lot of fun to be had and you usually can find it. Don't sweat the little annoyances life throws at you. Taurus 20-May 20): (Apr. Becoming the superman or woman you want to takes more than an A from your Russian studies class. Try to broaden your horizons through a little indepen­ dent enrichment. Not everyone takes you as seriously as you do. Gemini (M ay 21-June 20): Acting on whim sy can get you into a mess you'll w ish you never ended up in. Make sure every decision you make is planted in solid fact. Making real life choices based on fantasy can do a lot of social and financial damage. Cancer (June 21-July 22): The bur­ dens of social relations may rear their ugly heads today. If things don't go like you would like them to, take measures to creatively avoid conflict. There is no one saying you have to run into a brick wall face first. Disappearing for a w hile can do a body good. Leo (Ju ly 23-Aug. 22): If your acade­ mic expectations have not lived up to the dream, it is still very early in the game. Don't let defeat take you by the throat just yet. If you w ork hard enough at any­ thing, you can get what you want. V ir g o (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Talking to strangers may help you get what you want today. There is a lot of networking w ith your name in the middle of it. Try to utilize your 15th cousin's friend to get the job you want. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Life is about building blocks. You may feel like you are at the top of a skyscraper right now, but emotionally, you are only on the second level. Try to build your w ay up by analyzing the smaller elements of your everyday tasks. Little changes can lead to big progress in your mental state. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Feel like you are surrounded by idiots? W e all have our moments of stupidity and the best thing you can do right now is be a good neighbor. Help those who aren't as fortunate as you w ith their mental abili­ ties. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If j you find a lucky penny today, don't pass it up. There is a lot to be said for super­ stition and the smallest things may be greatly beneficial to you at this point Let your day be enhanced any way it can. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If a loved one has left you, try not to dwell on it. If you miss them, a small hand­ written letter can heal your emotional distress. Try writing in your journal to document your thoughts in a productive way. A qa arias (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Feeling good about yourself can be more than buying a new outfit or changing your hair. Soul cleansing can bring you the most success and peace if you take the time to do it. Add this to the long list of things you have to do today. P isces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Causing a controversy may be what makes you feel wanted, but the consequences of your actions may make you think otherwise. Not everything improves your image. A lot of damage can be done if you are not on your best behavior.

"T he snow has com pletely cov­ ered my car. It's gone, I can't even in see it ," T h o m as A llen said Raleigh, N.C. At least four people were killed in w eather-related traffic accidents in the Carolinas, and a 5-year-old girl w as m issin g and feared dead in Massachusetts after falling into an icy river w hile w alking to school in heavy snow. The storm even intruded on the presidential campaign. Most of the candidates flew to New Hampshire after the Iowa caucuses, but Repub­ lican A lan K eyes got stu c k in Detroit, unable to fly into Boston. T h e sto rm — k n o w n as a n o r 'e a s te r — d ro v e n o rth w a rd along the coast, with moist air from the ocean co llid in g with cold air over the land. During the morning, snow fell from South Carolina all the way to Maine. The storm raced into the Northeast with a speed that surprised forecasters. "We knew it was coming. It just decided to hit us a day earlier," said National Weather Service meteorol­ ogist Tim Morrin in New York. It w as th e th ird sn o w fa ll in a week for some states, but for much of the region it was the first major storm in a season that has seen little snow. It was also the worst snow ­ storm to hit the area since the bliz­ zard of January 1996. Most federal agencies shut down in Washington. Legislative meetings were called off in D elaw are, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, and Delaware Gov. Thomas Carper had to postpone his State of the State ad d ress for the second tim e in a week because of snow. Fourteen inches of snow had fall­ en by early afternoon at Petersburg, Va., and snow piled up in 4- to 5- foot drifts outside Richmond. A foot had fallen at Jaffrey, N.H. The Balti- more-Washington International Air­ port got m ore than seven inches. Ten inches had accumulated outside Philadelphia at King of Prussia, and New York City measured 6. The storm hit hardest in the Car­ olinas. North Carolina got 2 feet of snow in M ontgomery County and a record 18 in c h e s at the R a le ig h - Durham airport. The storm closed m ajor Eastern a ir p o rts , in c lu d in g N ew Y o rk 's LaGuardia and Washington Reagan N ational A irport, and others had delays and can cellatio n s. US A ir­ ways canceled all of its afternoon East C oast service betw een N orth Carolina and New York. "I think we didn't pick the best day for fly in g ," B razilian v isito r Joao Nemeth said at LaGuardia as he com­ forted an 11-year-old daughter who had expected to fly to Walt Disney World.
