Putin reacted to Chechen President A slan M ask h ad o v 's peace offer as Russian forces continued to fortify their positions in the northern third of Chechnya, bombing a strategic town 28 m iles so u th w e st o f the cap ital, Grozny. Russia continued shelling Chechen positions, especially around the town of Bam ut. The rebels said they had rebuffed the weekend advances. R ussian troop s blocked off G or- agorski, a town 30 miles northwest of Grozny, where they believed Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev and his lieu­ tenants were holed up, the ITAR-Tass new s ag en cy rep orted . The rep ort could not immediately be confirmed. Basayev is one of the leaders of the Chechnya-based Islamic militants that invaded neighboring Dagestan twice this sum m er with the aim of setting up an Islam ic state. They also were suspected of bom bing four Russian apartm en t bom b ings in Sep tem ber and killing about 300. Russia responded to the attacks two w eeks ago by sen d in g troop s into Chechnya raising fears of another all- out war there. During the first conflict in 1994-%, Chechnya fought Russian troops to a hum iliating standstill. It won effective independence for itself, but was left devastated. Although Russian troops have held off mounting a ground attack on the capital, Russia has shown little inclina­ tion to negotiate an end to the fighting. Putin said he viewed M askhadov^ proposal "in a p ositive light, but I would change the priorities." He dem anded that the terrorists guilty of attacking Dagestani villages and bombing apartment buildings be extradited to M oscow , the Interfax news agency reported. "Give us the men whose hands and arms are stained with blood, and we will be prepared for full-scale talks," Putin said. Citing Russian army headquarters, ITA R-Tass said a C hechen m ilitant killed 32 villagers in Ramesnkoye after the villagers asked rebels to leave. The reports could not immediately be con­ firmed. Russian and Chechen forces clashed over the w eekend along the Terek River, which cuts across the northern third of Chechnya and has effectively become the front line. The C hechens said they inflicted heavy casualties and now hold the vil­ lages of Chervlyonnaya and Chervly- onnaya-Uzlovaya on the north side of the river. It's a small victory, but it gives us self-confidence," said Chechen com ­ m a n d e r S a id -M a g o m e d C h u p b u - layev. Chechen officials have complained bitterly that Russia's attacks indiscrim­ inately hit civilians as well as militants. Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov acknowledged the civilian deaths on M onday, but said authorities w ere taking "all the necessary measures to avoid or keep to a minimum casualties among civilians," Interfax reported. In the peace proposal offered Sun­ day, Maskhadov called for Russia to end "all combat actions" immediately, and said the two sides should observe the basic pnndples of the peace accord that ended the previous war, accord­ ing to his spokesman, Selim Abdul- muslimov. M askh ad ov also pled ged not to allow illegal armed forces" to form in C h ech n y a , his spokesman, Selim Abdulmuslimov. a c co rd in g to But Maskhadov' has been unable to control the warlords and restore order since he was elected president in 1997. Armed groups holding large stocks of weapons left over from the first war frequently kidnap people for ransom. In less than three years, nearly 1,300 people have been kidnapped in and n ear C h ech n y a. O n ly 710 o f them have been freed, according to Nikolai M orozov, head of the Interior M in­ istry7 s unit against organized crime. Sixty-three hostages were foreign­ ers, and 50 of them have been freed. f * * A Russian army officer prepares to check a body of a Chechen m ilit a n t k i ; during a battle, near the Terek River in Chechnya. Russia, Sunday AP photo Israel approves building on settlements of West Bark Associated Press JE R U S A L E M — P rim e M in iste r Ehud Barak has approved a decision to b u ild 2 ,6 0 0 n ew a p a rtm e n ts in W e st B an k s e ttle m e n ts , h is o ffic e said M onday. A sen ior P alestin ian peace nego­ tiator, Y asser A bed Rabbo, accused Barak of "giving a green light to set­ tlem ent activities." The Palestinians hope to establish a state in the W est Bank and G aza Strip and say Israel is pre-em pting the outcom e of peace negotiations by expanding the settlem ents. Israeli peace activists have said the pace o f settle m e n t b u ild in g under Barak is faster than under his hard­ lin e B e n ja m in Netanyahu. p r e d e c e s s o r , O ne of Barak's Cabinet ministers, h o w e v e r, said th e p rim e m in iste r would dism antle seven of 42 settle­ m en t o u tp o sts set up on o u tly in g W est Bank hilltops in the past year as p art o f a land g rab by se ttle rs. Barak said later that he was review ­ in g th e leg a l s ta tu s o f th e s e t tle ­ ments. O n Su n d ay, a g o v ern m en t co m ­ m itte e on s e ttle m e n ts m et fo r the first tim e since Barak took office in Ju ly to review construction projects approved under Netanyahu, The com m ittee d ecid ed that the bids for 2,600 new homes in the set­ tlements, issued in recent months by H o u s in g M in is te r Y itz h a k L e v y , "w ere publicized legally and are in tandem with governm ent policy," a statem ent from Barak's office said. Levy is the leader of the National Religious Party, a patron of the set­ tlem ent movement. Abed R abbo said the m ove w ill m ake it m ore d ifficu lt for the tw o sides to negotiate a final peace agree­ ment by a Septem ber 2000 deadline. "T h e m inim um acceptable to us" is that Barak rem ove the 42 hilltop outposts, Abed Rabbo said. The p an el a lso h a s d eb ated the fate of those outposts, set up by set­ tlers who say they want to seize as m uch land as possible to prevent it from being transferred to the Pales­ tinians. B arak said M ond ay that the set­ tlers were sent to the W est Bank and Gaza Strip by successive Israeli gov­ ernm ents and "d eserv e to be there and to be defended." However, Barak said he would not allow settler leaders to set policy and w ould review w hich am ong the 42 outposts were set up illegally. "This ris exactly what we are going to make sure of, that no one can take private political initiatives," he said. Education M inister Vossi s rid, a d o v is h c o m m itte e m e m b e r s a id seven of the outposts w ill be di man­ tled in the next few da\ s The H aaretz n ew sp ap er on M on­ day quoted Barak as telling the com ­ m ittee that he has "a lot of respect for the settlem ent m ovem ent and that he respects decisi ns m ade bv N etanyahu's governm ent But the new govemm* nt w ill not a llo w ille g a l s e ttle m e n t a c tiv ity , Barak said. The com m ittee will discuss overall settlem ent policy at a later meet ng.

R esid ents of Santa Fe, Texas are all bent out of shape b ecau se the 5th U.S. C ircu it C ourt of A ppeals banned the m ere m ention of any deity ov er the PA b efo re high school football gam es. To cou n ter this decision, and the devil w o r­ shipers they say m ade it, parents of a you ng lady w ho w anted to d eliver a h eartfelt pu blic prayer obtained a 10-day inju nction a g ain st the ban. M eanw hile resid ents of this 10,000 person com ­ m unity are pressing the issu e all the w ay to the Sup rem e Court. Holy pigskin! These zealots have sure picked a strange w ay of g lorifyin g their God. Football is hard ly sacrosanct. It's just the opposite, being alm ost as unholy as any sp orting event can asp ire to be. Ju st con sid er how football fans act. They d on 't exactly tote their Bibles to the gam es to pay trib ­ ute to God. T h ey 're m uch m ore likely to load up th eir cars with b ottles of booze to pay tribu te to Bud-m an, the patron saint of alcoholics. O b v i­ ously, tailgate parties d o n 't q u alify as prayer m eetings. The tailgaters d o n 't ru m inate on the C hristian p rin cip le of the body as a holy tem ple. T h ey're too busy polluting their sen ses, trying to lose their in h ib itio n s for the kickoff.

T rad ition, how ever, is actu ally only a cover story for religiou s in tolerance. T hese p eop le are so in tolerant o f oth er religion s that they think M orm ons, M u slim s and H ind us are heathens. In such n arrow -m in d ed fashion, a San ta Fe teach er a ctu a lly th at she told a M o rm o n s tu d e n t belonged to a cult.

As thousands of Longhorn fans pulled their orange shirts over their heads for Saturday s ( H. game, equal numbers of sweatshop workers in foreign countries were churning out similar shirts — all for pitifully low pay. Students at dozens of universities across the nation have been rather unsettled by this kind of operation — universities licensing their logos to private compa­ nies that exploit workers in less developed countries. While our campus has been fairlv silent on the issue, it seems the protests and sit-ins at schools like Duke, ( Georgetown and the L diversities of Michigan and Arizona have made som e headway. Last week, Nike became the first major manufacturer of university-sponsored apparel to disclose the names and locations of its overseas factories where appar- el for five universities is produced. Students and labor groups have sought such information from Nike and other manufacturers so they can visit the plants and get a first-hand look at working conditions there. Sure, Nike might still operate sweatshops, and the company probably released the information solely as a PR move — but at least they're willing to let us know'. V\ hile the company disclosed only those factories for five universities, and it's not likely that m any students have the time or money to wisk away to Indone­ sia ti ir a toui i >t the Nike factory, a move like this could mean that progress is a possibility. Other companies could be willing to follow Nike's lead. ! he announcement also shows that multi-billion dollar companies, when j retiring from the income of college students, will lend an ear if we make enough noise. But as the largest university in the nation, we're lagging far behind. Maybe if students (and administrators) could get off their asses and come up with a few inno\ atn e chants and signs, we could help a few of our fellow humans in third- world countries who don't have it so good. AhJD RESTART aw por pfiEsioewr! r —z I p S U V » h a d i t s t a h t e d Ia Tasteless Journalism 1 would like to thank you for exposing me to the most tasteless journalism I have ever witnessed. Your coverage of this weekend s tragedy in College Station lacked any sem blance of compassion, decency or journalistic integrity. Was it really necessary for The Daily Texan and The San Antonio Express Netos to publish a picture of one of the vic­ tim 's shoes, thrown from their body during the collision? What interest did it serve for The Austin American-Statesman to tell us all about how “some 12 hours after the tragedy, large puddles of blood could still be seen amid spent police flares and shattered plastic and chrom e?" W hat purpose was there in so vividly describing every' gruesome, nause­ ating detail of the accident scene? Is this “journalism '' or the newest Fox prime-time special? I guess I should be glad that the A P photographer couldn't get a shot of those "large puddles of blood." My point is that when I remember the guy I used to play volleyball with every' day — my friend, my neighbor — I don't want to remember a picture of his shoe lying on the side of the road, or think of the "large puddles of blood" that he left. I want to remember the time we had as friends. I want to remember William Michael Flores as the honest, stand-up guy that he was. We will miss you Flo. T he F irin g L ine will also be denied the benefits of higher learn­ ing. than all the fares, passes and tolls that M etro collects from all over tow n in a whole year. That M etro shuttle bus drivers are----------------------- --------------------- given 26 percent less pay than city bus drivers, with no benefits or paid sick leave (even though at the time of this letter a tentative settlement has been reached) is unjustifiable and shameful. 2) If we all took Mr. Bradley's point of view and no one stood up for unfair labor practices we'd find ourselves back in the state this country was in less than 100 years ago, when women and children worked 10-12 hours a day in coal mines and sweat shops. "In the business world, this is how things w ork," is exactly what these exploitative employers said until enough people organized to end this injustice. (However, such practices are still in effect in many other countries whose brutal governments force their people to be 'content' with "how things w ork." ) It is shameful that we have someone in higher education that has obviously not remembered their U.S. History lessons. That is the true "sad state." ___________________ History demonstrates that strikes, despite the fact that they are in vio­ lation of contract, are often the onlv way for workers to improve their condition. This is because of one unchanging fact: Industries exploit unskilled and semi-skilled workers. Even during this econom ic boom, there are still too many un- and semi-skilled workers and not enough appropriate jobs. Companies pay workers as little as possible because there are no competing, higher-paying com panies to drive up wages. > ou say, "G et a better job?" Unless you're suggesting that bus drivers have fairy godmothers ready to descend and provide them with college degrees, your statement is about as fair as Marie Antoinette's proverbial gaffe. How can the working class eat cake, if they don't even have bread? IChristine H off Plan ll/English senior Shannon Moore Asian Studies graduate student M a jo r comeback Nick Bazzani Economics senior Wrong, rich boy Bradley's arrogance 1 was appalled at the selfish arrogance and insensitivity of Benjamin Bradley's suggestion that the solution to unfair labor practices is to simplistically "find another job." 1) U T provides Metro with more cash (from us students) To Benjamin Bradley, who in M onday's Texan wrote, "If an employee wants more money or better benefits, s /h e can get a better jo b:" . Wrong, rich boy. Many bus drivers can't get better jobs because they couldn't afford your fancy-ass education. And, because they're scraping by with the pittance that Capital Metro chooses to pay them, many of their children I was very pleased to read Damien Pierce's article about Major Applewhite in yesterday's paper. It is sickening of how criticized Applewhite is after a game lost. I don't like how everyone says Applewhite has redeemed himself this weekend It's not like in a three-week period he went from good to horrible to great. He never lost his skills; the Long­ horns just had a bad game against K. State. W e tend to for­ get that a great quarterback does not always do well. H ow ­ ever, a great QB such as Applewhite takes a bad game and learns from his mistakes. As we all saw he did just that, and of course that is not to say he will never have another bad game. W hat if the Sooners had won this past Saturday (as far fetched as that may sound)? Would the approval of Applewhite be the same? I seriously doubt it, and it is a sad thing that one week our paper slanders a player and the fol­ lowing week praises him. It's refreshing that Pierce under­ stands that Major is allowed a few botched games. After all if you never screw up, what experience do you have to avoid mistakes in the future?

Michigan State begins vaccinations after student falls ill Baylor University freshman Brooke Faulkner, left and her roommate Maureen Clark, talk Monday about their friends, Baylor students Erika Lanham and Tricia Calp, who were killed early Sunday morning in College Station by a truck w hose driver had fallen asleep at the wheel. AP photo Associated Press EAST LANSING, Mich. — Antibi­ otics were made available to more than 1,500 students at Michigan State University after a sophomore became 1) with bacterial meningitis. Students who live in the universi­ ty's Wilson Hall began lining up Sun- day night to receive drugs to fight the potentially fatal disease. Valentine (. utierrez, 18, a business freshman from Texas, was among those in line. "A t first I wasn't going to, but then I thought, 'I do live on his floor, '" she said. "Better safe than sorry." Adam Busuttil began feeling ill Fri­ day night, passed out in his Wilson Hall dorm room on Saturday evening and was taken by ambulance to Spar­ row Hospital. He remained in critical condition this m orn in g , u n iv ersity sp o k es­ woman Deb Osbourn said. Two Michigan State students have died of bacterial m enin gitis since 1996. School officials released Busuttil's name so students who had come into contact with him could immediately begin taking antibiotics. A vaccine will be made available to other students, faculty and staff, uni­ versity President Peter M cPherson said. The vaccine, considered 80 per­ cent to 90 percent effective, takes 10 S t u p i d t h i n g s t o s a y a t a c o o l p a r t y “THAT’S NICE THAT YOUR CUTE FRIEND WANTS TO MEET ME, BUT I’M GOING BACK TO MY ROOM TO CHECK MY EMAIL.’’ days to two weeks to begin working. M cPherson said the school would pay the $50 cost per dose. "C learly this is a major expense, but on the other hand this is a health step we have to tak e," M cPherson said. The vaccine protects against four of the five strains of bacterial menin­ gitis. D octors have not yet d eter­ m ined w hich strain B u su ttil co n ­ tracted. A fact sheet e-mailed to students said bacterial meningitis has an aver­ age mortality rate of between 2 per­ cent and 10 percent, with early recog­ nition and treatment being the crucial variables.

Disabled bóy makes book debut Mistie Househotter Daily Texan Staff Marshall Stewart Ball, a 13- year-old Austin resident, sat on his teary-eyed dad's lap as poets read excerpts from his newly released book Kiss o f God: The Wisdom of a Silent Child. Due to a m edically unex­ plained disability that prohibits him from walking, talking, writ­ ing or feeding him self, Ball signed his book using his thumb and an ink pad at the West Lake Barnes & N oble Booksellers Monday. Since age five, Ball has com­ municated by pointing his fin­ gers at block letters on a hand­ made alphabet board. The letters and short poems transcribed from the board have been collected by his mother and father, Troylynn and Charlie Ball, throughout the young boy's life. "Marshall is amazing," Troy­ lynn Ball said. "He uses words I have to look up in a dictionary." Kip K ronenbrg, an Austin developer, said he admires what Ball has accomplished. "It is am azing for anyone; especially someone at his age," Kronenbrg said. Ball was considered a child prodigy at age six when he was tested as having a 12th grade reading level said Meg LaBorde, the books publicist from Phenix and Pherux Literary' Publicist Inc. "A nyone that can use the word juxtap osed in a poem inspired by Bach can do plenty with his m ind," LaBorde said about a poem in Ball's book. Laurence Becker, an educa­ tional consultant who mentored Ball for eight years, wrote the for­ ward for his book. "I help him think about the environment in the midst of dis­ abilities," Becker said. "I bnng books and poetry that would inspire him on a different level than just factual "He is a prodigy." STATE & LOCAL T h e D a i l y T e x a n TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12,1000 7 Williams running for railroad commission Associated Press AUSTIN — Michael L.

R e p u b lica n , a announced he will run for one of two open seats on the commission in 2000 and said his campaign will highlight the "variety and diversi­ ty" of Texas. W illia m s, W illiams, 45, was appointed by Gov. George W. Bush late last year to the panel that regulates th e oil and gas industry. He replaced Car­ ole K eeto n R y la n d e r w ho w as elected state com p troller. "T exas is a big oT state w ith a let of folks — folks that com e in a lo t o f s h a p e s an d s i z e s , " W illiam s said. "W e need to id e n tify p e o p le of talent all across the racial and e th n ic s p e c tru m , an d id e n tify w a y s to g e t th e m e n g a g e d in T e x a s and in v o lv e d in T e x a s ," he said. h is B e f o r e a p p o in t m e n t , W illiam s served as Ju v en ile Pro­ b a tio n C o m m is s io n c h a ir m a n and S tate R ep u b lican E x ecu tiv e C o m m ittee g en eral co u n sel.

Williams was "one of the bright­ est stars in President Bush's admin­ istration and also one of the bright­ est stars in Gov. Bush's administra­ tion," said former railroad commis­ sioner and U.S. Rep. Kent Hance. "We know that the railroad com­ mission is in good hands," Hance said. Williams said he would work to eliminate the 4.6 percent severance tax levied on oil and gas produc­ tion. "O ne of the best ways to create economic opportunity and expand wealth is to ensure the government only takes what it needs (in taxes) from producers," Williams said "Sometimes one of the problems of governm ent is that is strangles activity and that is the reason it is im portant for us to go back and look at our regulatory scheme," he said. W illia m s to u te d ch a n g e s the c o m m is s io n m a d e d u r in g h is c u r r e n t te rm , in c lu d in g w e ll- testin g ru les to requ ire p ro d u c­ e r s to t e s t e v e r y tw o y e a r s in s t e a d o f a n n u a lly , k e e p in g in cen tives for com p anies to drill for n atu ral gas and stream lin ing the agency to save prod ucers $7 m illio n a year. Williams said he would use com­ puters to make the com m ission a paperless agency by 2003. "When change on the outside of an industry is moving faster than change inside an industry, the end is near," Williams said. Williams joins Railroad Commission­ er Charles Matthews, also a Republican, on the ballot for the six-year terms. Matthews, 60, was first elected to the commission in 1994. Williams and Matthews are the only announced candidates for railroad com­ missioner, said Chad Wilbanks, political director for the Republican Party of Texas. Texas Democrats plan to announce candidates for the commission by early next year, said spokesman Mike Hailey. DON'T LET GO October events educate women about breast cancer Amanda M.

Breast cancer awareness month, which began as a week-long breast cancer education w eek in 1985, is now a month-long awareness cru­ sade for breast cancer foundations and o rg a n iz atio n s. L ocal groups and b u s in e s s e s , in c lu d in g the Susan G. Kom en Foundation, the local CBS affiliate KXAN and Ran­ dall's, are sponsoring the events. Sherry Bell, assistant director for health prom otions for U niversity H ealth S e rv ices, said the m onth gives health organizations a chance to relay an im portant m essage — that early d etection is the key to combating breast cancer. "S o m e tim e s p e o p le m ay let health issues sit on the back burner until there is som ething that cues them to action, like media coverage or pu blic atten tio n — som ething that makes it visible as a result of this aw areness month or any spe­ cial emphasis w eek," Bell said. Bell said college women should make a habit of conducting a breast self-exam ination every m onth, so that any developing lumps can be easily detected. "W o m e n a r e n 't p o w e rle s s — they can contribute to early detec­ tion and p erhaps effectiv e tre a t­ ment as a result of early detection," Bell said. A p p r o x im a te ly 1 7 5 ,0 0 0 new cases of breast cancer will develop in th e U n ite d S ta te s th is y e a r, including 11,300 in Texas, accord­ ing to the A m erican C ancer So ci­ ety's 1999 cancer report. In addition, the rate of new cases am o n g y ou n g A u stin w om en is higher than the national average, said Claire Saxton, executive direc- tor of the Breast Cancer Resource Center of Austin. The h ig h e r in c id e n t ra te s are p robably related to the fact th at there is such a high concentration of you ng peop le in the city , she added. . Saxton noted that while women in their 60s are accustomed to rely­ ing totally on their doctor's opin­ ion, w om en in their 20s are more much more encouraged to ask their doctors questions and take a more active role in their health care. "M a n y d o c to r s say to y ou n g women, 'Oh, you are too young, it ca n 't be b re a st c a n c e r ,'" Saxton said. "They must realize that they are re sp o n sib le for th e ir h ealth care, to get checkups — they need to fo llo w up on d e te c tio n s and even get second opinions." O rtiz said s h e 's th a n k fu l she went in for a check-up. "M y grandm other actually died o f b re a s t c a n c e r w h en I w as se v e n ," she said . "I w as alw ays kind of scared that I might get it, but I never thought that I would get it so young."

BEST A,i.!LA3LE COPY T h e D a i l y T e x a n 9 TUESDAY, 0CT088112,1999 Red Sox head to ALCS Martinez comes on to stifle Indians as Boston takes Game 5,12-8 Associated Press CLEVELAND — With Boston counted out and supposedly cursed, Pedro M artinez brought the Red Sox all the way back. After dropping the first two games of the series, losing M artinez and N om ar Garcia- parra to injuries, the Red Sox outslugged the Cleveland Indians 12-8 M onday night to win Game 5 of their first-round playoff and advance to the AL cham pionship series. M artinez struck out eight in six hitless innings of surprise relief and Troy O'Leary twice thw arted the Indians' strategy to intentionally walk Garciaparra by hitting two hom ers and driving in seven runs. "I w ouldn't come out," Martinez said. "As long as I w as able to throw the ball over the plate, I w as going to stay in there." With the shocking win, the Red Sox earned a shot at their hated rival, the Yan­ kees, in the ALCS starting W ednesday night at New York. It w as too early for m anager Jimy Williams to begin w orrying about pitching matchups. "W ho we going to pitch?" he said out loud. "W hat day is it?" O'Leary, who went 0-for-6 in Game 4, hit a grand slam in the third and snapped an 8- 8 tie in the seventh with a three-run homer as the Red Sox became the fifth major league team to rally from an 0-2 deficit in a best-of- 5 series. Boston, which hasn't w on a World Series since 1918, looked done after losing Games 1 and 2. A nd when M artinez pulled himself from his start in the opener after four innings w ith a strained muscle in his back, the Red Sox season appeared doomed. It got worse for the Red Sox w hen Garcia­ parra was unable to go in Game 3 because of an injured wrist. But they pounced on C leveland's shaky pitching staff, scoring nine runs in Gam e 3 before shattering records with their 23-7 rout in Game 4. But Martinez brought some sanity to a series of atrocious pitching, striking out seven to put an exclamation point on one his dom inating 1999 season. The right-hander, who w ent 23-4 during the regular season, will now get a chance to pitch the Red Sox back to the World Series for the first time since 1986. Meanwhile, the Indians, w ho have been waiting since 1948 to win a Series, were denied a third straight trip to the ALCS w hen their pitching staff collapsed. Jim Thome homered twice and Travis Fry­ m an hit a solo shot for the Indians, w ho will now spend the winter wondering w hy thev could never shake an injury bug that plagued them all season. Cleveland, which lost Game 3 starter Dave Burba to injury, also watched center fielder Kenny Lofton dislocate his left shoulder sliding into first base.

The Texan takes a look All right all you bookw orm s and teacher's pets, stop freaking out over m idterm s. There's no need to throw your calculators across the room or snap your pencils in two over a silly exam. Grades aren't that big of a deal. Texas football is. However, since m ost of you still feel that a 4.0 GPA this semester will pave your way to an inordi­ nate am ount of future success, we will do you a favor. We'll combine the two most im portant things in your life right now — grades and Texas football — and do our own little m idseason evaluation of the Longhorns. After all, Texas head coach Mack Brown did say that the first seven games were like a season in itself and that he w ould now study film to decide w ho passed the first sem ester's test.

It w asn't pretty. In a snoozer of a M onday night game, C oughlin's Jacksonville Jaguars dow ned Parcells' N ew York Jets 16- 6. It w as the first time Coughlin, w ho w as an assistant under Parcells w ith the Giants and credits the current Jets coach with boosting his career, defeated his m entor in four NFL tries, including two playoff games. The Jaguars, whose vastly u p graded defense has allowed* just 52 points, never let New York (1-4) get going. N ot that Jacksonville (4-1) did m uch offensively, either. It d id n 't m atter with the way Tony Brackens, Carnell Lake and the Jaguars' defenders were perform ing. Not even an eight-m inute delay to repair a tear in the artifi­ cial turf — w hich is in its final year at Giants Stadium — bothered them. For the third time this season, the Jaguars, w ho had four sacks, held an opponent w ithout a touchdow n. And in reversing their playoff loss to New York in January', the Jags handed the Jets their fourth loss, as m any as Charlie Fonville DAILY T E X A N STAFF W e a v in g in and out of defenders h as been routine for Texas w ide receiver Kw am e Cavil this season, who is part of a rejuvenated Longhorn receiving corps that has helped quarterback M a jor A pplew hite lead the Big 12 in passing yards, heád dow n and show ed O U 's William Bartee and Ontei Jones that tackling a 6-foot 1-inch, 205-pound quarterback can som etim es feel a little like taking a shot to the gut from a Civil War cannon.

Running backs: B Ricky who? For the Horns first three games we were asking "H odges who?," as Mitchell had compiled 103 rushing yards during that span. But after the junior tailback ran for 204 yards against Oklahoma, the third time he had broke the centurv m ark in the H orns last four games, he left most Texas fans perfectly content with the post-Ricky era running gam e "Every one is ready to throw him out after the first three weeks," Brown said.

"Already having a tournam ent under my belt definitely helps " Crowell said that plaving on the fam iliar hard-court surfaces the Penick-AIlison Tennis Center pro­ vides calls for a different style than he used in Baltimore. "Defensively, I have to be m ore aggressive, as you can't wait for an opponent to mess up like you som e­ times can on clay," said Crowell. "Also, 1 have to put away my volleys better."

A day after Applewhite said that the Texan headline "Apple Turnover" sparked him to prove his critics wrong, Texas receivers Kwame Cavil and Ryan Nunez noted that the Texan had also provided them with some bulletin board material. "We have an article hanging on the bulletin board calling us T h e Slant and Screen Squad,'" Nunez said of a Sept. 14 Texan article. "The only thing about it was that we looked at the tape and saw that it was sort of true because that was all we were running," added Cavil. "We were 'The Slant and Screen Squad.'" But since that article ran more than a month ago, it has given the Longhorn receiving squad more time to develop as a unit that can beat you deep. Both Jeremy Jones and Montrell Flowers have emerged as targets that are stretching defenses while Cavil and Nunez rank first and second in the conference in receptions. "There's still a bomb in Neuhaus-Royal wait­ ing to explode," Cavil said. "And once we have two guys receive over 100 yards in the same game, it's going to explode." When Major Applewhite ran off of the field and entered the tunnel of the Cotton Bowl fol­ lowing No. 19 Texas' 38-28 win over the Sooners, he was greeted with obscenities from Okla­ homa's Roughnecks. "They were yelling about how much we sucked and were saying stuff about our moms," Applewhite said. But according to the Roughnecks, Applewhite responded with some comments of his own and then bumped one of their members. The unidentified Oklahoma student was held back by other Roughnecks, as he was apparently ready to go after the Texas quarterback. "I didn't mean to bump into him and if I did, then I apologize," Applewhite said. "I don't even know why they were down there because the tunnel is supposed to be for players." Ike listed day-to-day Texas running back Victor Ike hasn't seen much action the last few weeks because of the emergence of Hodges Mitchell, and now he may even see less time on the field because of a ham­ string pull. "Victor is sore, but he is walking," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "H e won't practice this week and we'll have to evaluate next week if he will play against Nebraska." Ike suffered the injury in the third quarter of Saturday's game after running for an 8-yard gain. He was helped off the field by trainers and did not return. If Ike is unable to play in the Nebraska game, Brown said that Chris Robertson, who is cur­ rently listed as the backup fullback, would like­ ly see more playing time as a running back behind Mitchell. But by making that move with Robertson, Brown would also have to look at the possibili­ ty of playing a true freshman, Matt Trissel, at the blocking back position. The only other back that Brown has in his arsenal with some experience is true freshman Kenny Hayter, who has rushed for 54 yards on 16 carries thus far this season. Turnarounds Linebackers D.D. Lewis and Aaron Babino are still hindered by ankle injuries, but they are expected to be ready for the C om huskers.... The Texas and Nebraska game has been set for 2:30 p.m. next Saturday at Royal-Memorial Stadium and will be televised ort ABC. — Compiled by Damien Pierce, Daily Texan staff Irvin expected to play again Despite spinal cord injury, WR should return in ’99 Associated Press IRVING, Texas — Wearing a protective collar around his neck, Michael Irvin flew home Mon­ day and will await further exam­ inations to determine the severi­ ty of his injury. Early indications suggest the Dallas Cow boys receiver will recover from a swollen spinal cord and herniated disc and play again this season. He was injured making a tack­ le early in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and now the question is how much time he will miss. "It's really too hard to tell how long he's going to be out right now," trainer Jim Maurer said. "We're optimistic that Mike will be back this year." Irvin, who is taking medicine to reduce the swelling, will see a Dallas-area specialist Wednesday. An MRI will be spine taken and compared to one made hours after the injury. How much has changed will determine the next step in his treatment. Exams showed Sunday swelling in the spinal cord in two places near the base of the skull. Maurer said he doesn't expect the new pictures to show any further damage that may have been obscured by the initial swelling. "I think they got a pretty good he everything of picture incurred," Maurer said. The trainer admitted Monday feeling lost some that immediately after the injury. Irvin "He had some limitations on the field," Maurer said. "H e did­ n't have full motor function and he had pain in his neck." Irvin was able to move his hands and feet within 15 min­ utes, much to the relief of his ter­ rified teammates. He was then strapped to a stretcher and taken to the spinal unit at Thomas Jef­ ferson Hospital, where he spent the night. By Monday m orning, Irvin had regained full use of his motor functions — the most encouraging sign yet. "That's one of the reasons he's being released as early as today," Maurer said. The 33-year-old has been a leader for Dallas on and off the field since joining the team in 1988. He hasn't missed a game because of injury since 1990, Emmitt Smith's rookie season. "M ichael has been a great player for this organization for a tim e," said quarterback long Troy Aikman, who has won three Super Bowls with Irvin. "H e's made a lot of big plays in a lot of big games. "We're going to miss his pres­ ence and we'll miss his competi­ tive spirit. Hopefully it'll only be two weeks." Tech’s bizzare season continues in loss to OSU Jonathan Green Daily Texan Staff O klahom a State's head coach may have blacked out, but the Cowboys certainly delivered some knockouts of in their 41-21 victory over Texas Tech Saturday in Still­ water, Okla. Bob Simmons blacked out for a few seconds after being hit with a football just before halftime, but said M onday that he was not injured. Of course, most coaches will say they are fine when their team plays to the caliber that his Cowboys did. "A fter watching film, I'm very excited team played," Simmons said. "We had fun and executed well." about how the Oklahoma State quarterback B.J. Tiger played probably the best game of his short collegiate career, completing 15 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns. Tiger also rushed for 61 yards and a touch­ down. He has helped the Cowboys to three victories since stepping in for the injured Tony Lindsay in the sea­ son opener. "We really walked into a hornet's nest up there," Texas Tech head coach Spike Dykes said. "B.J. Tiger really im pressed me with how good he is." OSU held Texas Tech running back Sammy M orris to just 40 yards on 16 carries. M orris was the star of the game a week ago, lighting Texas A&M up for 170 yards. The gam e epitom ized Texas Tech's roller coaster season. In their past three games, the Red Raiders (2-3,1-1 Big 12) have lost at home to shocked highly North Texas, ranked Texas A&M and fallen to Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., by 20 points. But Dykes does not want his team honing in on those losses. "You can 't go licking your wounds too long, because you've got someone else staring you in the BIG 12 SOUTH face," Dykes said. Right now the Red Raiders have Colorado staring them in the face. Oklahoma has an idle week before facing No. 9 Kansas State on Oct. 23. Aggies roll despite Hall's injury Losing m im ing back Dante Hall was the story of the week in Col­ lege Station, not the Aggies' 45-13 drubbing of Baylor. Hall injured his back in an Oct. 2 loss to Texas Tech and reaggravated the injury lifting weights Thursday afternoon. But Texas A&M head coach R.C. Slocum expects Hall back in the lineup shortly. No. 13 Texas A&M (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) also put a stop to their offensive w oes on Saturday. The Aggies defense helped them build a 17-3 halftime lead after returning an interception for a touchdown and blocking a punt that set up another Aggie score. Then the Aggie offense came alive, scoring 28 points in the sec­ ond half.. "We knew going in that it was going to be a tough game, because we know they are one of the top teams in the nation and they're very talented," Baylor head coach Kevin Steele said. Steele hopes the Bears can bounce back from a disappointing first half of the season. Baylor has a w eek off before playing host to the Red Raiders on Oct. 23. Steele said he hopes their new motto, "A Tale of Two Sea­ sons," helps them improve on their 1-5 record in the second half of the year. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones accompanies WR Michael Irvin to a Philadelphia hospital Sunday. A P photo Nisenfeld Continued from page 9 the best games in school history against Oklahoma." Mitchell is averaging 6.8 yards per carry during the last four games and has moved up to fourth in the Big 12 in rushing offense. The big fix for Mitchell has simply been a little more running room, Applewhite said. "Hodges has always been a great back, he just needed some holes," he said. Wide receivers: A Let me think about this for a sec­ ond. Kwame Cavil leads the Big 12 conference in receptions (50) and Ryan Nunez is second (38). Hmmm ... these guys are pretty good. Throw in the Horns newfound deep threats in the form of Jeremy Jones, who had a 100-yard receiving game against Kansas State and Montrell Flowers, who put up more than 100 yards receiving against the Sooners, and we could be looking at one of the best receiving corps in the country. Offensive line: C One week this unit looks like a group of All-Americans, then the next week they look all mixed up. Against Baylor and Oklahoma, they didn't give up a single sack and parted opposing defensive lines like the Red Sea as Mitchell ran for 392 yards in the two games combined. However, against Kansas State, the Horns offensive looked nonexistent. The Wildcats blew past the Texas O-line and had Apple- white on his back more than he was on his feet. line It should be noted that 6-foot 6- inch, 355-pound left tackle Leonard Davis has been hobbled most of the year with an ankle injury that has forced him to see limited action. But that doesn't excuse the Jekyl-and- Hyde inconsistency of an O-line that Brown said at the beginning of the season may be more talented than last year's group that led Ricky Williams to a Heisman Trophy. Defensive line: A Let's see, where to begin? Oh for­ get it. There are so many different stats that could be used to show how dominant the Texas front four has been, that I don't even know which toss your way. So num bers call Aaron instead, Humphrey, Cedric Woodard, Casey Hampton and Shaun Rogers the best D-line in the Big 12 Conference and one of the best in the nation. to let's just Linebackers: B+ The Horns linebackers have been depleted by sprains, strains and var­ ious other medical maladies throughout the season, but that has­ n't stopped them from being solid. Even with nagging injuries to Aaron Babino, Anthony Hicks and D.D. Lewis, the Texas linebacker corps has been key in plugging up holes and making plays on a defense that is ranked 10th in th^ nation. The linebackers are helping the defense hold offenses to 93 rushing yards per contest, and the Horns have not allowed a back to run for more than 100 yards in a game all year. Everick Rawles, Marcus Wilkens and Tyrone Jones have provided the Horns with much needed depth. The only thing the linebackers haven't been very successful in doing this season is piling up sacks. Lewis, who has three, is the only linebacker with more than one sack. Defensive backs: B+ After hanging around the bottom of the nation in pass defense last sea­ son, the Texas defensive backs have performed a minor miracle. We're not talking walking on water here or even passing that physics test, but the Horns No. 9 national ranking in pass efficiency defense may be more phenomenal than either of the two. Especially considering that they've been with­ out free safety Quentin jam m er for most of the season and a completely healthy cornerback Joe Walker for the past couple of games. Greg Brown has filled in nicely for Jammer, as he's second on the team in tackles. Strong safety Lee Jackson is right behind Brown with 389 tack­ les. However, com er Ahmad Brooks may be the secondary's most pleas­ ant surprise. Brooks has 35 tackles, two interceptions and arguably leads the H om s in biggest heart. "Ahmad continues to amaze us," coach Brown said. "The heart he plays with is unbelievable." Special teams: D Okay, in an attempt to keep this article from nearing 100 inches in length, I w on't list everything that the Texas special teams has managed to foul up this season. Just imagine something that is about as long as Carol Brady's grocery list and includes such items as three blocked punts and a punt return for a touch­ down. The only game in which the spe­ cial teams didn't make at least one complete bonehead play was this past weekend against Oklahoma, but Mack Brown said they are still far from good. too inconsistent," he said. "It didn't kill us, but it still hurt us." It would be unfair to not single out the positive performances of kicker Kris Stockton and coverage specialist Terrol Dillon. Thanks to them, boost this grade up a couple of partial points to avoid complete dis­ aster. Overall: B Texas has a top 10 offense and a top 10 defense, but they're not a top 10 team. Something isn't right here. Part of the blame can be put on the special teams, but the Homs have had other problems as well. They've been inconsistent on offense and have fallen apart in the fourth quar­ ter of two games, including the biggest game of the year thus far against Kansas State. The Horns are good, but they haven't proven that they're a great team yet. The victory over Okla­ homa may have been a turning point in the Homs season, but they'll have to beat a national power before peo­ ple are convinced that this team means business.

The C om huskers' chances are buoyed by an arguably tougher schedule than No. 2 Penn State faces the rest of the way.

M e lo d ra m a . A stu p id band name. G a y Dad, the latest En g lish im port, are all (his and more. Managing to live up to sky- high expectations, Leisure Noise, is a solid, confident debut album that fir m ly places them in the same late 1990s Brit-pop pantheon as Pulp and Rialto. Patched together from an array of '70s and '80s rock-pop, Leisure Noise comes off as one giant recy­ cling project. To this end, C liff Jones, a former music critic, and the band p a in s ta k in g ly tw e a k every influence, carefully hiding their sources. E very song sounds vaguely familiar, like some long forgotten one-hit wonder just out of memory. N on etheless, this u ltim a te ly makes Leisure Noise a highly lis- tenable album. The pristine, air­ tight compositions are so stream­ lined and melodic that any uno­ rig in a lity is q u ic k ly forgotten. Guitars are clean, delicate instru­ m ents of b eau ty. S h im m e rin g piano work is sprinkled through­ out. Jones' w ispy, fragile vocals weave around all this, occasional­ ly soaring into a crystalline falset­ to, and occasionally m im icking the em o tio n a l fla m b o ya n ce of Freddie Mercury. There are quite a few standouts in w h at is a rem arkably strong album. "To Earth W ith Lo ve" cap­ tures the driving drama of David Bowie's "Suffragette C ity," replete w ith rollicking piano accompani­ ment. "Jesus Christ" recalls Pulp's "T h e D ishes," resurrecting that soulful blend of cam py theatrics and w re n c h in g em o tio n that reached its zenith on Pulp's mas­ terpiece This is Hardcore. The centerpiece of the album, though, is the shadowy, gorgeous "Black Ghost." On this track, Jones relates the futility of trying to out­ run death, rendering with exquis­ ite subtly and expression what is, perhaps, a clichéd topic. In fact, most of the lyrics mirror the "I'v e heard this before" quali- Aty of the music. A nugget of wis­ dom can be found on "Jo y !" and the words, "Be careful what you wish for/ You just might get your heart's desire/ Is what you want exactly what you need?" O ther lyrics oscillate between the u n ab ashed sen tim en t of "P a th fin d e r" ("K is s me like the ocean breeze/ Kiss me like you still believe") and the sardonic wit of "Dateline" ("1984 — school was out for sum m er/ I w as hot for teacher..."). In the latter, Jones pro­ claims the glory of 1989, which is, in his expert opinion, an underrat­ ed year. Escaping unscathed from the hype and aw kward name choice, G ay Dad have, with Leisure Noise, vaulted them selves to the fore­ front of their genre. W ith such a promising start, don't let the name scare you a w ay; G a y D ad p ro ­ vides a curiously satisfying sonic experience, whether the listener is straight or not. -David English RIGHTBACK By: The Long Beach Dub All Stars Label: Dream w orks Records Grade: 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) D ream w orks has released the latest C D by seminal stoners, The Long Beach Dub A ll Stars, Right Back. A fter Brad N o w ell of Sublim e d ied of a h ero in overdo se, his bandmates didn't follow suit and go on binges. No, they capitalized. Like Jim i Hendrix, there are possi­ bly more Sublime albums on the market published after N ow ell's death than there were before. Eric W ilson and Bud Gaugh of Sublime are back, and they have some friends to back them up with the usual ska groove. D o n 't be fooled by the name of their band. It's a misnomer. There's very little d ub h a p p e n in g on R ig h t Back, most of it is Sourthem California third w ave ska w ith some heavy reverbed bass. Even though Eric W ilson's bass may be playing tra­ ditional dub, his supporting musi­ cians are playing third w ave ska, tried and true. R ig h t Back has m a n y fla w s which must be addressed flat-out. Songs ranging from "Like A Dog," the first single "Trailer Ras," and "Soldiers" are quite bad. There's no point in using euphem ism s about them. They are boring, tired and should be left to die in the m iddle of the San Fernando V a l­ ley. Another flaw with the C D is its lack of the do-it-yourself tone that's present on good ska albums. Like Sublime's final record, as in Brad Nowell was alive and in the studio, the songs seem overpro­ duced. Whether the A ll Stars are faithful to the D IY ethic is irrele­ vant; when an album is produced D IY, there is a certain tone present that says, "They did this all them­ selves." Nevertheless, Right Back can be fun. " M y O w n Life" has gallons of vivacity and "Sensi" is one of the coolest odes to m arijuana ever produced w ith Tippa Irie doing some craz y reggae rap p in g . "Rosarito" sounds like a song by G. Love and Special Sauce, but it has loads of skankin' power and deserves plenty of radio airplay. "Saw Red" must have mistakenly been put into R ight Back. W h ile most of the songs are about drugs, alcohol and friendship, "Saw Red" gives a heartfelt tribute to a fallen companion. Calling Right Back a dub album is a mistake. It's third w ave ska, so get it in your head, Bud and Eric.

As part of the Performing Arts Center's amazing live music program — one that has recently brought us D ew ey Redman, Van Cliburn and N eil Young — these two legendary ladies softly impressed a sold-out crowd at the last show of their tour. Supporting their recent collabora­ tion, W estern W all: The Tucson Sessions, much of Sunday night's per­ formance was a testimony to what makes that release so breathtaking. All around, the music made the event a fantastic concert. W h at's more, the wom en really knew how to make their impression felt. Harris, looking extremely beauti­ ful in her cow boy h at/b lu e jeans combo, made many forget that she passed the 50-year mark some time ago. Her breathy, sultry voice was a wicked counterpart to her dynamic guitar-playing. Ronstadt's voice was the heavy anchor that kept this show sturdy. Her range and ability filled the great acoustics of Bass and the ears of the audience. Whether playing "Western W all" or "Loving the Highway Man," these two women made the country-west­ ern stylings soar. They even invited audience members into the more "intimate" sides of their lives. At one point, Harris dove into a description of her love for baseball while grab­ bing a bat and belting her song, co­ written with Luscious Jackson's Jill Cunniff, "Sw eet Spot." Then, Ron­ stadt invited her niece M indy onstage to sing backup harmony vocals for a few of the songs. A ll the while, the women exhibited a sweet chemistry, signs of a true friend sh ip . They would whisper between songs, which might become annoying if not for Ronstadt's justification that it was "girl talk." It was that kind of real-life sim plicity that made their perfor­ mance so spectacular. Simple spectacles of true greatness really stole the show. One of the best exam ples w as L in d a R o n stad t's show-stopping rend ition of R o y Orbison's "Blue Bayou," a song that's become one of her solo career high­ lights. Whether singing in English or the occasional Spanish (that part of her career is still alive), Ronstadt's voice really gave the show another dimension. W ith Harris playing the role of friend and partner, this duo kept the audience captivated. True, because it was the final show on the tour and it was Austin, expec­ tations were much higher, and there was a mild feeling of letdown. One )ust assumes that the final show for this tour in this city w o u ld create m uch more of an im pact. For instance, W illie Nelson was around all this past week for his honorary "W illie W eek." H aving him or any num ber of special guests onstage (Shawn Colvin? Lyle Lovett? Robert E arl K e en ?) might have made the night appear as sacred as it was advertised. Nonetheless, this was Em m ylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt's show. It was a night for the old traditions of country, something Austin has been in vo lved w ith lately (w ith W illie , M erle H aggard's recent show and Kris Kristofferson's upcon¡nng gig) and som ething the m usic scene should continue to relish. Harris and Ronstadt are not only the origirial Dixie Chicks, they're the women that make loving country so much fun. 474-5314 2 13 \V f>th A u s tin ’s H o m e o f the Blue presentí. . . 9 A L L A G E S A L W A Y S W E L C O M E 'A d v a n c e T ic k e ts at A n t o n e 's R e c o rd Sto re C a ll 3 2 2 -0 6 6 0 to ch arge.
