he could make his feelings known 
to allies who want to force Armey,

their own actions and motives dur­
ing a series of meetings with dissi­

In his rem arks M onday

that we (Republicans) have at times 
forgotten that we are a team and 
lost sight of the fact that we all have 
the same goals though we may not 
always agree on the day-to-day tac­
tics of how to get there.

DeLay, in particular, faces clo^e 
scrutiny from Gingrich's allies. He 
has maintained a public silence on 
reports that he told a group of dissi­
dent lawmakers that he would join 
them in voting to strip the speaker 
of his powerful post.

" I don't know what to expect in

don't know what to expect," said 
John Feehery, DeLay's spokesman.

Nor was it clear what action, if 
any, Gingrich's critics within the 
ranks might take. While they have

made no secret of their determina­

last week they had not been press­

them.

Last week, Gingrich accepted the 
resignation of Rep. Bill Paxon, R-

"This summer, our goal is to work

He offered no hint whether he

effort to force him from office.

first time in 116 years.

An estimated 100,000 people on land 
and 
the USS 
Constitution left its temporary anchor­

hour voyage marking its 200th anniver­
sary. The ship is normally docked at 
Boston's Charlestow n Navy Yard, 
where it has been a floating museum for 
generations.

The oldest commissioned warship in

the world was saluted by modem naval 
escorts: the Blue Angels flying team, 
which zoomed past 300 feet above the 
deck, and the guided missile destroyer 
USS Ramage and guided missile frigate 
USS Halyburton.

The 44-gun frigate sailed the Atlantic 
at a modest speed of 4 knots in light 
winds.

"I'm kind of speechless, you know," 
said boatswain's mate Joe Wilson, cap­
tain of the deck. "I wanted to cry. They 
were tears of joy."

Mississippi, typified the diversity now

IRA ioins peace talks, some Protestants leave

BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Irish Republican Army 
supporters took their place at the site of Northern Ireland 
peace talks Monday, prompting some Protestant politicians
to bolt for the door. 

The largest pro-British Protestant party is still talking 
with the government, however, despite the party's suspi­
cions about the IRA's new cease-fire.

Locked out of the talks for 13 months, senior figures ot 
the IRA-allied Sinn Fein party entered their offices thanks 
to the open-ended truce the IRA launched Sunday.

Britisn Prime Minister Tony Blair has indicated Sinn Fein 
can join otter parties in negotiations on Northern Ireland s 
future if the IRA holds its fire until Sept. 15. For now, Sinn 
Fein can use an office at Stormont, the center of British 
administration in east Belfast, and start talking informally 
with anyone who's willing.

IRA: Sinn Fein opposition exhibit disgust with ‘Stalinist or Fascist mentality’

Continued from page 1

On Monday, that meant potential allies

C r i t i c a l l y , th e l e a d e r of t h e l a r g e s t 
P ro te s ta n t party, D avid Trim ble, led an 
Ulster Unionist delegation to meet Blair in 
London. Trim ble said h e 'd w o n no con­
cessions b u t spoke of " so m e possibilities 
of progress."

"W e will not shirk ou r responsibilities. 
We are n o t in the m o d e of w alking out, 
w e 'r e th e re to try an d achieve th in g s ,"

Trimble said. His party received 32.7 per­
cent of the Northern Ireland vote in May's 
national elections, the largest share of any 
party.

T he B ritish and Irish g o v er n m en ts, 
which cosponsor the talks, have drawn up 
rules for when the IRA must start disarm­
in g d u rin g n e g o tia tio n s, the lo n g tim e 
Protestant dem and that the IRA insists 
w ill never happen.

The rules are supposed to be put to a 
vote W ednesday, but Trimble says he'll 
torpedo them because they call only for 
"due progress" toward IRA disarmament 
— but no guarantees that the British gov­
ernm ent w ill expel Sinn Fein if the IRA 
doesn't cough up guns or explosives at a 
specific point.

"If it's a genuine cease-fire, a genuine 
ending of violence, then what is the prob­
lem in handing over weapons?" Trimble 
said. "Indeed that is the w hole point of 
the exercise. It is a litm u s test for the 
IRA."

The first 13 m onths of peace negotia­
tions have focused on procedural issues, 
includ ing a structure for disarm ing the 
IRA and pro-British paramilitary groups. 
In September, the governm ents want to 
m o v e th e talk s on to the core issu e: 
F in d in g a n ew w a y o L g o v e r n in g the 
province that is acceptable to Protestants 
and the Roman Catholic minority.

The first tw o Sinn Fein d eleg a te s to 
enter Storm ont underscored the party's 
link with the IRA: Gerry Kelly was con-

victéd for some of the first IRA bombings 
in London in 1972, then led a mass prison 
breakout; and S iobhan O 'H an lon w as 
caught in a Belfast bomb factory in 1983.

P aisley's party,, w hich sees the entire 
peace process as a fraud, spent Monday 
recalling the 25th anniversary of Bloody 
Friday, w hen, w ithout warning, 22 IRA 
bombs exploded, killing nine civilians and 
w o unding 130 in Belfast.

Those attacks follow ed the IRA's first 
brief cease-fire in 1972, when the current 
Sin n F ein p r e sid e n t, G erry A d am s, 
formed part of the IRA negotiating team 
that was flown to London to demand th£t 
the British governm ent w ithdraw from 
Northern Ireland. The talks were fruitless, 
and the IRA resumed its campaign.

"We m ust bring that prosperity

Figures in the report were com­
p ile d from a ra n g e of u n iv ersity

represents "a mixed bag" of indica­
tors for Latinos b u t "the negative

La Raza.

" T h e p o s i t i v e s g ive us s o m e

the s tre n g th of the co m m u n ity ," 
Perez said.

Positives in the report were few. 
Chief among them was that Latino 
men have the highest labor partici­
pation rate, meaning they are more 
likely to be working or in search of 
work.

A nother h o p e fu l sign was th at 
the ranks of Hispanic women clas­

sified as managers or professionals 
increased from 14.7 percent to 17.5 
percent from 1990 to 1996.

But the g o o d n e w s w a s o v e r ­
whelmed in a sea of statistics indi­
cating Hispanics remain in a cycle 
of low-paying jobs, poor education 
and a lack of health insurance that 
is s a p p in g the c o m m u n ity of its 
vast potential, Yzaguirre said.

"Every other group has a higher

Alabama’s flooding moves inland

Associated Press 

1

MARLOW, Ala. — Torrential 
rain left over from Hurricane 
Danny flooded inland Alabama on 
Monday, forcing rescuers to take 
to boats to ipluck people from 
homes and cars.

Along the coast, people forced 
out of their homes over the week­
end when Danny dumped 2.5 feet 
of rain in just three days returned 
to survey the damage.

"W e p retty m uch lost every­
th in g we h a d ," said Sharon 
Williams, who was among the 100 
people who fled Fish River over 
the weekend.

The sh o rt-liv ed h u rrican e, 
which was downgraded to a tropi­
cal storm Saturday, was just a low 
pressure area by Monday, drifting 
north with 12 mph winds. On Sat- 
j urday, it packed steady winds of 

80 mph.

State officials said they did not 
have firm numbers on how many 
people were evacuated because of 
w eekend flooding, b u t the Red 
Cross said it provided shelter to 
about 2,000 people Saturday.

At the peak of the storm, 44,000 
homes and business were without 
p ow er in M obile and B aldw in 
counties; fewer than 400 were still 
blacked out Monday.

The hurricane killed one man 

caught at sea in a sailboat.

A nother m an died of a h eart 
attack while trying to tie up a boat.

County and evacuees from stream-

to see the damage caused by water

W ater had been 4 feet deep 
inside his parents' house Sunday 
after rising so quickly that the 
family was forced to flee without 
packing.

"There was no time. There was 
just no time to take anything with 
us," said Brinson's mother, Julie 
Brinson, as she searched through 
her home for her antique jewelry 
collection.

At the Lake Forest subdivision 
in Daphne, Tiawassee Creek had 
ripped apart roads and carved out 
a huge gully that isolated 40 fami­
lies.

At first, provisions were sent to 
them via a rope pulley system . 
Later, a m akeshift gravel road 
allowed them to get out.

M any shops and re sta u ra n ts

Shores beach resort.

"Most of the businesses are try­
ing to bounce back pretty quick," 
said Paul Johnson, general manag­
er of Souvenir City, which opened 
its doors Sunday.

On Monday, a sparsely populat 
ed county 80 miles north of Mobile 
picked up 9 inches of rain in five 
hours, causing flash floods on 
small streams that fill easily and 
drain slowly in the flat country­
side.

Several families had to be res­
cued from their homes by boat, 
and others were plucked from cars 
along flooded roads, said Choctaw

ounty Sheriff Donald Lolley.
"A lot of people ran off the road 
and we had to rescue them from 
vehicles," Lolley said as the rain 
pounded the region through the 
afternoon.

MOSCOW — A fresh Russian crew will 
explore the inside and outside of a ruptured 
module of the Mir space station to assess the 
damage caused by a collision last month 
.with an overloaded cargo ship.

The crew will "walk around, stamp their 
feet, and see where exactly we've got the 
depressurization," Mission Control chief 
Vladimir Solovyov told reporters.

Officials already had planned an "inter­
n a l" spacew alk into Spektr to reattach 
power cables disconnected after the crash, 
which has left the station limping along on 
half-power.

The Mir crew has not seen the site of the 
crash, which is not visible from inside the 
station, so they still do not know where the 
hole is or how large it may be.

Solovyov said the arriving Russian crew 
and the next space shuttle will fly around 
the station before docking to help survey 
the damage.

. 

. 
He also acknowledged that NASA will 
pay less money than originally agreed for 
the current mission, since most American 
experiments were on the damaged Spektr 
and are likely ruined.

"It will be smaller money," he said, with­
out providing figures. Russia's m anned 
space program s have been increasingly 
dependent on the money other countries 
pay to have their astronauts on the Mir.

NASA officials did not mention the pay­
ment issue at a news briefing Monday, but 
did express support for the Russian space 
agency's plans.

" I believe that this is all an excellent 
plan," said Frank Culbertson, director of 
NASA's shuttle-Mir program. "I'm in total 
concurrence with what the Russians have 
done here."

At a top-level meeting Monday, Russian 
space officials worked to salvage the situa­
tion, reworking the schedule of activities on 
the station for the coming months.

Among other changes announced Mon­

j __ 
day:

■ A French astronaut will not go up to the 
station with the new crew on Aug. 5, post­
poning his mission until early next year. 
Russian officials have said his experiments 
will tax the station's power system, and 
they need the space on the launch vehicle to 
deliver more equipment to the station.

■ The current Russian crew, who will be 
spared the tricky Spektr repair because of 
exhaustion, will return to Earth on Aug. 14. 
That date reduces the length of the overlap 
betw een the two crews from 20 days to 
seven. The new crew arrives Aug. 7.

■ The Spektr spacewalk is planned for as 
soon as possible after the old crew leaves, 
probably Aug. 18-20. The second spacewalk 
will take place either later in the month or in 
early September.

■ American astronaut Michael Foale will 
not take part in the spacewalk. Instead, he 
will rem ain in the Soyuz escape capsule 
during the operation to assist in case of 
e v acuation. He w ill re tu rn to E arth as

Deputy flight controller Igor Goncharov 
said a meeting of top officials on Monday 
formally concluded the current crew was 
not up to carrying out the repairs after a 
string of setbacks on the station in recent 
weeks.

Com m ander Vasily Tsibliyev has been 
undergoing treatment for an irregular heart­
beat.

L ater in the day, NASA quoted Gon­
charov as saying new tests on Tsibliyev 
showed no signs of heart arrhythmia. Gon­
charov told reporters in Moscow that Tsib­
liyev was in "good condition, but contin­
ued to take heart medicine and sedatives.

"This crew has already been under much 
pressure in extreme situations, so the deci­
sion has been made that the spacewalk will 
be done by the next crew," Goncharov said.

Goncharov pointed out that the new team 
— Russians Anatoly Solovyov and Pavel 
V inogradov — has been practicing the 
repair for weeks in an underwater tank.

With their seas depleted, 
Chinese still feast on fish

Associated Press

YANTAI, China — The seas 
around this northeastern fishing 
p o rt have been sw ept alm ost 
clean. Gone are the yellow croak­
ers and cuttlefish. Even the usually 
plentiful sardines are in danger.

Inside Z hang R ih u an 's nets, 
how ever, gleams a shim m ering 
harvest of sea bass. Zhang, like 
many others in Yantai, is farming 
his fish.

Its coastal w aters depleted of 
many of the most valued species, 
China is combining m odern and 
ancient aquaculture techniques to 
secure a plentiful supply of fresh 
crab, carp, abalone and o th er 
aquatic products for its 1.3 billion 
people.

Beijing, head these days for waters

that might come up empty in seas

But even deep-sea fishing has its 
limits. So the government is grad­
ually reducing the number of fish­
ing vessels it licenses and is 
encouraging fishermen to opt for 
the better incomes and more stable 
livelihood aquaculture provides.

The world's largest fish produc­
er, China's boats and fish farms 
h a rv e sted 23.5 m illion tons of 
aquatic products in 1995. The $5.3 
billion-a-year industry employs 
more than 8 million people. Fish 
and shellfish from China account 
for more than 60 percent of the 
world's total aquaculture produc­
tion.

"This is very, very hard work, 
but it's also very profitable," said 
Zhang, who manages the seawater 
fish farm , a South Korean joint 
v en tu re, for the local fisheries 
bureau.
bureau. 

In sashim i-loving Japan and 
South Korea, Zhang's fish fetch up 
to $8 a pound — about five times 
what they would sell for at home.

Zhang's workers toil from dawn to 
dusk, grinding frozen fish feed into a 
paste, transporting plastic trays of it 
by boat offshore and scattering it by 
hand, six or seven times a day, in net 
enclosures where the fish are raised 
in their usual ocean environment.

The food disappears instantly in 

a teeming whirl of silver.

Laborrintensive fish farm ing 
makes sense for overpopulated 
China, satisfying appetites for fish 
and shellfish too huge to be sus­
tained by "capture" fisheries.

But huge fish kills caused by 
pollution and disease are signals

sometimes violent coastal weather.

astating epidemic, blamed mainly on

The epidemic prompted many of 
Yantai's shrimp farmers to adopt less 
intensive, lower-risk production 
techniques that, thanks to lower costs 
and high market prices, still leave 
them with a good profit margin.

Cithers have switched to fish poly­
culture, raising several varieties of fish, 
shellfish and sometimes seaweed 
together in the same water.

Hairs found in O'Dell's car also matched 
those of the victim.

In 1990, a judge ordered DNA tests on 

O'Dell's bloody clothing.

Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — From death row, 
Joseph Roger O'Dell III has rallied Pope 
John Paul II and the Italian government to 
his side, along with some high-powered 
lawyers, a New York public relations firm 
and a close friend on a crusade to prove him 
innocent.

They have until Wednesday night to keep 
the 54-year-old O'Dell from execution by 
injection for raping and murdering a Vir­
ginia Beach woman in 1985.

The courts and Republican Gov. George 
Allen have rejected O'Dell's claims of inno­
cence as well as his request for more sophis­
ticated DNA tests of semen taken from the 
victim, Helen Schartner.

The unofficial manager of the campaign 
to prove O'Dell innocent is Lori Urs, a for­
mer accountant and now a Boston law stu­
dent who gcrt involved in the case in 1993 
when she was with a group that works to 
free innocent inmates.

She has orchestrated O'Dell's publicity 
efforts, worked with two high-powered law

lobbied the pope, who she said gave her a 
rosary to encourage her.

Even if O'Dell is executed, Ms. Urs said, 
"I intend to carry this out until it is proven 
beyond a doubt that Joseph O'Dell is inno­
cent."

O'Dell isn't the first Virginia death-row 
inmate to try to avoid execution by stirring 
up a publicity campaign. But this is by far 
the biggest such attempt in recent years.

"The prosecution frightened the jury with 
the threat that, unless executed, Mr. O'Dell 
would some day be let loose in the streets 
and neighborhoods of Virginia," O'Dell s 
lawyer Robert Smith said.

In refusing new DNA tests, the governor 
— like the prosecution — said O'Dell's con­
viction was based on overw helm ing evi­
dence.

O 'D ell w as seen in a V irginia Beach 
nightspot at the same time as the victim and 
left within minutes after she did.

Shortly after she was beaten and stran­
gled, O'Dell showed up at a convenience 
store with blood on his clothing. He offered 
conflicting explanations for the blood.

At his trial, prosecutors showed that the 
wounds on Ms. Schartner's head matched 
the shape of a pellet gun owned by O'Dell. 
In addition, tire tracks from the crime scene 
matched the tires on O'Dell's car.

Semen found on the victim 's body 
matched O'Dell's blood and enzyme types.

One test found the blood on O'Dell's shirt 
was neither his nor his victim's. A test on 
O'Dell's jacket found a partial match to the 
victim's blood.

A DNA test on semen taken from the vic­
tim's body was not possible in 1990 because 
the sample was too small.

DNA expert Barry Scheck, w ho was a 
member of O.J. Simpson's defense team at 
his murder trial and is now advising ODel- 
l's camp, said new techniques make it possi­
ble to test the sample and perhaps prove 
O'Dell innocent.

The case has gotten extraordinary atten­
tion in Italy, w here opposition to capital 
punishm ent runs high and where Urs has 
worked the media.

The Parliament and the pope have asked 
Allen and President Clinton for clemency. 
On Friday, Italy's president appealed to 
Allen to spare O'Dell's life.

Ex-prostitute stays 
on city council
■ OAK GROVE, Ky. — A m adam 
who owned a massage parlor stood up 
at a City Council meeting to accuse 
police of taking payoffs, buying sex 
from her girls and covering up two 
slayings.

Then a councilwoman stepped for­
ward to back those allegations, saying 
she ought to know: She worked as a 
prostitute at the massage parlor for 
about two years.

Now, people are calling for Patty 
Belew's resignation or removal from 
office. But she said Monday she's stay­
ing put to keep this little town honest.

"There ain 't nobody else in there 
th a t's any b e tte r th an I am ," said 
Belew, 26. "At least I did come out and 
tell the truth, unlike everybody else."

This town of nearly 3,000 people on die 
Tennessee line has been reeling since 
Tammy Papier, the former owner of the 
New Life Massage Parlor, stood up last 
week and accused dty officials and police 
of taking bribes to allow her to run her 
business as a brothel.

Papier said she paid officials about 
$20,000 in bribes over three years. The 
authorities also bought sex, threatened 
prostitutes and covered up the 1994 slay­
ings of two of her employees, Gloria Ross,
18, and Candy Belt, 22, Papier claims.

In September 1994, Ross and Belt were 
found stabbed and shot to death. No one 
has been charged in their deaths, and 
Papier alleges that two former Oak Grove 
police officers were involved.

Sheriff's Maj. Billy Gloyd said both 
men, w ho have left the force, have 
been investigated in connection with 
the deaths.

Ex-warlord leads 
Liberia vote
■ MONROVIA, Liberia — Prelimi­
nary election results Monday showed 
ex-warlord Charles Taylor heading for 
a landslide victory, amid new signs of 
hope for a smooth transition to peace­
ful democracy in Liberia.

International observers acknow l­
edged minor problems in the voting, 
but said they wouldn't affect the out­
come of the presidential election in the 
West African country,, emerging from 
seven years of civil war.

The second-place candidate, who 
earlier had claimed widespread fraud 
and indicated she w ould not accept 
the outcome, sounded more concilia­
tory Monday.

Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, a former United 
Nations official with an MBA from Har­
vard,, said her Unity Party was reserving 
judgment until all its poll observers sub­
mitted their findings.

"Should it come to us becoming an 
opposition party in this country, we 
must remain a strong and constructive 
opposition," said Jonnson-Sirleaf, sig­
naling that she was open to accepting 
defeat.

Critics: Proposed 
wine labels would 
encourage drinking
■ W ASHINGTON — The w ine 
industry wants it known that a glass 
now and then can be good for the 
heart, but federal health officials are 
worried that proposed new wording 
on b o ttle labels m ight encourage 
excessive drinking.

Despite the criticisms, officials at the 
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms 
have signaled they are likely to endorse 
the labels, which would be included on 
both domestic and imported wines sold in 
this country.

"The proposal under‘consideration 
is a thinly disguised attempt to make 
an affirmative health claim," said Dr. 
John M. Eisenberg, acting assistant 
secretary for health.

"I am deeply concerned that your 
approval of the label statem ents in 
their current form would be construed 
by the public as encouraging the con­
su m p tio n of alcoholic beverages," 
Eisenberg said in a letter to ATF Direc­
tor John Magaw.

Wine labels already contain warnings 
that women should not drink during preg­
nancy and that alcoholic beverages can 
impair driving and cause health problems. 
But they say nothing about numerous 
health studies indicating that moderate 
alcohol intake can reduce risk of heart dis­
ease in some people.

To the current warning, a label pro­
posed by the San Francisco-based 
Wine Institute would add: "To learn 
the health effects of moderate wine 
consumption, send for the federal gov­
ernm ent's Dietary G uidelines for 
Americans." It gives a mailing address 
and an Internet web site.

A second proposal would say: "The
proud peopte who make this wine encour­
age you to consult your family doctor 
about the health effects of wine enjoy­
ment"

America needs a capital gains tax cut

Republican and Democrat budget 
packages reform nothing. The much- 
ballyhooed Republican revolution his 
been reduced to a $500-per-child tax
credit and the NEA's abolition. Clearly, 
Republicans of 1997 do not resemble the 
raging revolutionaries who once afgued 
for a flat tax and IRS elimination. 
Instead, they resemble beggars seeking 
compromise. Republicans have even 
abandoned their 15-year-old rallying cry 
— elimination of the capital gains tax.

However, foe White House has not 
abandoned the preferred liberal tactic. 
President Clinton, Robin Hood of the 
Potomac, has buried himself in the 
trenches of class warfare. He recites the 
tired liberal axiom that any capital gains 
tax reductions favors die rich at the 
expense of the working class.

Clinton must not dig the dass warfare 
trenches. The majority of Americans 
either own or work for small businesses 
and will benefit greatly from a reduction

in the capital gains tax.

Both parties have abandoned entre­
preneurs, making the budget proposal 
even more offensive. The Entrepreneur­
ial Research Consortium released data in 
19% that showed 37 percent of all Amer­
ican households boasted at least one per­
son who had experience funding, 
founding or running a small business. 
Twenty percent of households have an 
entrepreneur with an active company. 
Currently, small-business owners out­
number members of labor unions.

It is significant that baby busters are 
more likely than their parents to run 
their own businesses. African-Ameri­
cans and women are also becoming 
increasingly more active in business 
ownership.

These business neophytes are greatiy 
affected by laws which inhibit entrepre­
neurship. Capital gains taxes steal 
much-needed resources away from soci­
ety's productive citizens and give them 
to the parasites.

Entrepreneurs often start up businessr 
es when they are laid off or are "down­
sized," instead of leeching off of others 
with unemployment or taking bureau­
cratic jobs. It is ironic that those bureau­
crats are then responsible for regulating 
the actions of society's producers. Often, 
the most successful businesses, such as 
Microsoft, are punished by bureaucra­
cies. Microsoft strengthens a number of 
other industries and accordingly has cre­
ated innumerable jobs. As its reward, 
Microsoft constantly fights the anti-trust 
division at the Department of Justice. 
The Department of Justice thinks that 
even if Microsoft provides the best prod­
ucts at low prices, it should be punished.
Increased entrepreneurship always

spawns increased job opportunities and 
increases foe standard of living in foe 
surrounding community. Therefore, it 
behooves local and federal governments 
to make entrepreneurship as easy as 
possible.

Instead, foe government looks at pri­
vate wealth as a resource to create more 
social programs, which it runs ineffec­
tively. The notion that reduced unem­
ployment reduces foe need for their pre­
cious social programs is lost on bureau­
crats.

In order to increase opportunity for 
prospective small-business owners, the 
government must eliminate the capital 
gains tax and ease regulation of entre­
preneurs. This would free foe capital 
necessary to expand or start small busi­
nesses, giving owners the freedom to act 
as they see fit.

VIEWPOINT
Campaign reform

Fulfilling a campaign promise, the Whitley administration will 
soon reform the Student Government election code. Many critics 
contend the current code abridges free speech and unnecessarily ^ 
burdens the election process.

Serious talk of reform began during the February elections, when 
a district judge overturned the disqualification of several candi­
dates. The ousted students successfully argued the code limited 
their free speech by forbidding them from campaigning prior to the
candidate seminar. 
n

"We have no choice but to throw out the existing election code, 
said SG Vice President Randy Cooke, who will chair the committee. 
"All constitutionally ambiguous language and procedures must be 
eliminated."

Three philosophical principles must guide Cooke's reforms: no 
limits on overall campaign expenditures, as the Supreme Court 
ruled similar caps unconstitutional; full disclosure of all contribu­
tions and expenditures, coupled with severe penalties for nondis­
closure; and the existence of die Election Supervisory Board as a per­
manent entity.

Cooke should also consider several other minor reforms:
■ Specific disclosure requirements — If a candidate makes any 
expenditures or receives any contributions to influence the elec­
tion's outcome, he must file a report — even if he has not officially 
declared his candidacy. Failure to disclose pertinent information 
should result in disciplinary fines or removal from the ballot. 
Expense reports should be made public immediately, perhaps post­
ed to Election Supervisory Board's web page.

■ Soft money — Student political parties must also file reports. 
Financial and in-kind support from an independent entity is accept­
able when fully reported. Most spending will likely flow through 
the party structure, making reporting easier for down-the-ballot 
candidates. Disclaimers must be placed on all campaign literature to 
ensure accountability. Such a disclaimer should include the candi­
date or party name, the office sought and relevant contact.

■ ESB reform - The Candidate Seminar, which all candidates and 
electioneers must attend before the campaign begins, must be abol­
ished. Upon filing, candidates should be given all relevant docu­
ments concerning election rules. It should be the candidate s respon­
sibility to learn all regulations. The ESB s job is to see that rules are 
followed, not to ensure that all candidates are familiar with them. If 
violations occur, punishment must be swift and severe. Currently, 
only "agents" of campaigns may file grievances. Cooke should 
grant all students the right to file a complaint.

When Cooke's committee meets, it should consider modeling the 
SG election process after our state's. The SG code should reflect the 
ideals and freedoms of the Texas Election Code, and the ESB should 
resemble the Texas Ethics Commission, which monitors state cam­
paigns. SG candidates must have all the freedoms of their counter­
parts at the state and federal level.

NEA funding must not be abolished by Republicans

^

The two most hated and loved government 
programs are the National Endowment for the 
Arts and the National Endowment for the 
Humanities. Last week, House Republicans 
voted to abolish the NEA. They have the NEH 
in their sights, believing it leads to bankrolling 
"immoral art."

NEA critics argue the federal government 
should not fund the arts. They contend the NEA 
is not the exclusive artistic funding source. Here 
they are correct; most of the money comes from 
private donors and organizations. The arts 
could survive without foe NEA. But foe arts 
would become a private enterprise of foe 
wealthy and well-connected. The work of 
American artists belongs to all of us 
not just 
those who can afford season tickets and private 
passes. We need foe NEA to keep foe arts avail-

able to everyone.

Private sources see endowment money as 
leverage when they are skittish about backing a 
whole project. Government funding acts as a 
primer which encourages private donations. 
Public funding will finance ventures private 
sources won't; everyone benefits from these 
risks, especially when they're popular. Even 
those who do not want to pay for foe arts often 
see art exhibits for free.

The NEA has spurred foe growth of muse­
ums, dance and opera companies, symphony 
orchestras and ensembles. Growth stimulates

cultural advancement.

Some claim foe NEA is wasteful. But if one 
looks at how much of foe federal budget foe 
NEA takes, this argument seems absurd. This 
so-called wasteful spending has created 1.3 mil­
lion jobs and costs only 70 cents per year per tax­
payer. Is 70 cents too hefty a pnce to pay? Con­
sider that for each dollar the NEA spends, $11 is 
generated in foe form of tourism, hotels, restau­
rants and cultural community activity.

People like Patrick Trueman, president of foe 
American Family Association, say much of foe 
art foe NEA supports, like Piss Christ — a cruci­
fix submerged in art artist's urine — is federally 
funded blasphemy. They contend foe govern­
ment should not dictate what art is acceptable. 
But foe NEA does not judge art; it gives money 
only to artists and foundations that apply, and

do. 

Finally, opponents believe foe NEA supports 
and makes possible foe distribution of such pro­
ductions as Sex Fish which they believe are "a 
furious montage of oral sex" because "oral sex is 
not art."

But Trueman and his followers forget about 
foe other productions foe NEA bankrolls, such 
as foe Worcester Art Museum, Central Massa­
chusetts Symphony Orchestra, New England 
Traveling Youth Circus, Live from foe Met, 
movies like Hoop Dreams and countless other 
artistic productions which they might enjoy and 
approve.

Art is subjective; if someone does not like a 
particular work, it means nothing more than 
they simply don't like it. Even seeing art that one 
does not like enriches us because it helps us

Blame it on the Shane

R. Shane McFarland (Firing Line, 21 July 
1997) does a very good job of demonstrating 
foe difference between academic graduate stu­
dents and law students such as himself. He 
ftlsrt demonstrates his woeful ignorance of foe 
working conditions of foe former.

Mr. McFarland is correct in pointing out foe 
hypocrisy of the University, which exploits 
graduate students to lessor foe teaching and 
research loads of its star faculty. He errs in his 
statement that graduate students can be paid 
"well below fair market value because tuition 
is part of their compensation."

Unlike the situation at most universities, foe 
University does not waive tuition for graduate 
students. LJT graduate students do not "have 
their education paid for by the University," in 
contrast to foe situation at foe "second- and 
third-tier doctoral programs" which ottered 
Mr. McFarland such sweet deals. Instead, most 
of us work long hours teaching, at wages bare­
ly sufficient for survival. Even then, and even 
with foe loans most of us take out, many of us 
must work at outside jobs during foe summer, 
thus delaying our entry into foe job market.

Worse than that, students must enroll in — 
and pay for! — meaningless "research hours" 
in order to be allowed to work as TAs. Finally, 
although most of us have been paying taxes in 
Texas for years, foe University will not consid­
er us Texas residents. This means that every 
year, we have to go through the arduous 
process erf obtaining out-of-state tuition 
waivers, so that we can afford to teach

Reconsider then Mr. McFarland's comments 
about fairness in foe tax code. How fair is it to 
dramatically increase foe tax burden of a group

that is already overtaxed and exploited by foe 
University while decreasing foe taxes of foe 
highest earning Americans?

As one who no doubt will soon be joining 
foe upper tax bracket, Mr. McFarland should at 
least be aware of what foe true conditions are 
for those who would be paying for his tax cut. 
His demonstrated lack of this understanding 
undercuts his claimed commitment to "fair­
ness.

UT students writing Firing Line letters must 
learn logical reasoning and recognize pointed 
sarcasm and crucial distinctions. Leigha 
Simonton wrote a provocative piece which 
Ryan Parker (Firing Line, 7/21/97) failed to 
address in any interesting way.

Criticizing most Christians for not living up 
to the principles of Jesus is only reinforced by 
citing ttie example of Mother Teresa. Accord­
ing to Simonton's argument, this holy woman 
is foe exception, not foe rule. By referring to 
Mother Teresa, Simonton pointed out a Chris­
tian who speaks volumes by her actions —

actions which contrast with those of Steve 
Thomas, who spent $750,000 and thousands of 
hours putting up metal crosses on Panhandle 
highways. Parker missed foe point that 
Thomas should spend that money feeding foe 
hungry or clothing impoverished children.

Furthermore, Simonton clearly articulated, 
through well-developed sarcasm, that Mother 
Teresa is a devout woman who truly under­
stands and follows Christ's example, not some 
"advertising major."

Thomas may someday cover foe U.S. high­
way system in Christian symbolism, and still 
we would face foe problems today that Christ 
addressed two millennia ago: hunger, preju­
dice, poverty, war. Simonton's point is well- 
taken that Christians would do well to "adver­
tise for Jesus" by helping others in need, rather 
than boycotting family-oriented companies 
and dotting the landscape with crosses. That 
point, accompanied by "ner arguments against 
one Christian's actions," should ndt 'shun . . . 
away" [sic] any insightful readers from 
embracing Christian efforts to follow Jesus' 
example and thereby advertise his teachings.

I find it amusing that our beloved third-year 
law student, Mark McKenzie, has both foe time 
and foe energy to take time out of his busy 
schedule to call liberal abstracted art gob-

NEA and supposed "filthy art." I find it equal­

Art for Mark’s sake

For a "third year law student," Mark 
McKenzie seems to lack foe ability to come up 
with correct facts. In his "NEA must not subsi­
dize filthy art" editorial, McKenzie offers us 
foe standard conservative account of "vacu­
ous" modem art with little regard for foe accu­
racy of his statements. In foe Huntington 
Gallery here at foe University, which receives 
no NEA funding, McKenzie trips over a 30- 
year-old Carl Andre sculpture and glances 
past a Robert Ryman painting. Typically, he 
quickly moves on to Robert Mapplethorpe, 
who never received NEA funds; foe Corcoran 
Museum of Art received money to aid with 
foe costs of hanging a show of his work. 
McKenzie misiden tifies Mapplethorpe as one 
of "several artists" who have "tried to sell their 
own excrement as art." In fact, only one artist 
has done this: Enrico Manzpni in the late 
1960s. Not surprisingly, this Italian artist never 
received any NEA dollars either.

Further, Andy Warhol never threw "a pile 
of bricks on foe ground and called it art, nor 
did he ever cash an NEA check And don t go 
looking for a Jett Koons work in the Hunting­
ton Gallery; you won't find any, though
McKenzie seems especially offended by one in
his final paragraph.

Of course, McKenzie includes foe simple- 
minded "it's not art if my 3-year-oki nephew

The biggest losers in all of this political show­

failed to realize foe arts are part of foe economy 
and add vitality to modem life — other coun­
tries acknowledge this. They support their 
artists more actively than foe US. government.

Even foe little we spend is now in danger. We 
must support foe NEA so our children and, their 
children after them can benefit from foe creativ­
ity and cultural awareness of foe arts.

year-old who can cut and weld steel plates like 
Carl Andre? Who suspends heavy objects in 
display cases? Clearly, this isn't a gauge of 
whether something is art or not.

McKenzie closes by suggesting that the 
offending menace of "abstraction," indeed foe 
entire Huntington Gallery, be "liquidated." 
Now, McKenzie may prefer Frederick Rem­
ington's strapping cowboys and their sweaty 
mounts. He may enjoy listening to von 
Weber's rousing Der Freischutz overture. How­
ever, he should take care to check his facts 
before committing than to print. Spluttering

‘U.S. News’ revises ranldngs

BRIAN QAAR______________
Daily Texan Staff

Responding to criticisms of its col­
lege ra n k in g system , 17.S. News & 
World Report has made adjustments 
to its annual report, "America's Best 
Colleges," that sources from the mag­
azine said will create broader tiers of 
school rankings.

The annual report, which the mag­
azine will publish next month, will 
round colleges' point totals to the 
nearest whole num ber instead of to 
the nearest one-tenth.

The new method will eliminate the 
p o ssib ility of one college b eing 
ranked higher than another based on 
a relatively small point differential 
and could result in num erous ties 
between colleges in the ratings.

Robert Morse, director of research 
for the "A m erica's Best Colleges" 
issue of the magazine, said the new 
adjustm ent is the result of internal 
discussion and feedback from higher 
education officials.

' It's a response to critics saying the

rankings are exaggerating small dif­
ferences betw een schools," M orse 
said. "This is m odifying [the rank­
ings] to a modest degree."

But UT students and officials said 
they were skeptical about changes in 
the upcoming report.

"I'm 'glad to see there are at least 
some things they're doing different­
ly," said Jeff Tsai, former president of 
the UT Student Governm ent. "But 
U.S. News & World Report is not mak­
ing the kinds of changes necessary to 
make it a valid poll."

Tsai said the m agazine unfairly 
discriminates against the University 
because of its large student popula­
tion and low funding from the Texas 
Legislature.

"To say they have one definitive 
list of colleges is indefensible," he 
said, ad d in g that the college poll 
gives people the impression that an 
incoming freshman should "go to the 
school with the highest number."

Ed Sharpe, UT vice president for 
public affairs, said "a number of uni­

versities around the country over the 
years have expressed a lack of confi­
dence in the way U.S. News & World 
Report does their rankings."

"T he case co u ld c e rta in ly be 
made" that college surveys such as 
"Am erica's Best Colleges" unfairly 
discriminate against large public uni­
versities, Sharpe said.

But Morse said comparing public 
an d p riv a te u n iv e rsitie s is fair 
because both types of universities 
com pete for faculty, stu d en ts and 
research dollars.

"The idea that public and private 
schools are operating in wholly dif­
ferent universes is untrue," he said.

The ranking adjustments made by 
the magazine are "not insignificant" 
because getting rid of the small point 
differentials between schools in the 
ra n k in g s w ill " re d u c e v o la tility 
between schools," he added.

Morse also noted that the m aga­
zine is discussing other m easures 
that w ould potentially alter future 
college rankings.

Equipment loss totals $1.2M

LAURA SUNIO_____________
Daily Texan Staff

About $1.2 million in University- 
owned equipment — 278 items — has 
been re p o rte d m issing or stolen, 
according to a rep o rt by the state 
comptroller's office.

State agencies have reported $13.5 
million in m issing or stolen equip­
ment, 83 percent of which comes from 
inventories of state colleges and uni­
versities. About $10 million in equip­
ment loss came from three universi­
ties: Texas A&M, U T -A ustin an d 
Texas Tech.

Sheila Clancy, a spokeswoman for 
the comptroller's office, said comput­
ers top die list in equipment loss, fol­
lowed by laboratory equipment.

"Computers, particularly, are going 
into people's homes," said Clancy. 
"Lab equipm ent probably goes to 
research in people's own homes, but 
some law officials believe [lab equip­
ment] is stolen to make drugs."

Kathy Miller, director of the UT 
Office of Accounting, said the Univer­
sity's reported losses of $1.2 million is 
"an overstatement."

In most cases, obsolete equipment 
is "cannibalized," or made into other 
items, Miller said. Sometimes comput­
ers are reported as missing when they 
are sent to the surplus departm ent 
and it is not documented, she said.

UT items that are missing or have 
been stolen include a "system tester," 
which cost $188,801; a digital oscillo­
scope, w hich cost $8,250; a 1988 
Chevrolet Astro Mini-Van, which cost 
$6,632.73; and a cocktail and drink 
dispenser, which cost $1,253.

The University began placing a bar 
code on all its property two years ago, 
which makes property tracking easier 
and more effective, said Miller.

"It's more of a bookkeeping prob­
lem than a real problem," said Peter 
Riley, associate dean of research and

facilities for the UT College of Engi­
neering. "It's how we do inventor}'."

Equipm ent is given a value, and 
"depreciation of equipm ent is not 
allowed over a reasonable time," he 
said.

Although missing items are not a 
new issue to the comptroller's office, 
the system of property tracking is. The 
office is in charge of a new property 
tracking system called the Statewide 
P roperty A ccounting System . The 
two-year-old program "tracks a piece 
of property from the day it was pur­
chased to the day it is retired," said 
Clancy.

The new system determines "how 
much property's missing and which is 
permanently gone," she said.

Under the new system, an annual 
inventory is required for each state 
agency, which then has three years to 
fin d items that are unaccounted for 
before they are considered lost.

Latin American legal workers convene at 
UT to learn more about American law

VELDA HUNTER___________
Daily Texan Staff

In die midst of heightened relations 
between the United States and Latin 
America, international judiciary work­
ers seeking more information on the 
American legal system arrived at the 
University on Saturday.

"Programa de Derecho Angloamer­
icano para Abogados Iberoameri­
canos," which translates to "Program 
of Anglo-American Law for Ibero- 
American Lawyers," lasts until Aug. 1.
The program, now in its fourth 
year, was established in a joint effort 
by die UT International Office, the UT 
School of Law and local Hispanic 
lawyers to teach Spanish-speaking 
lawyers and law students about the 
structure and organization of the 
American legal system, said Steven 
Bell, the program's coordinator.

The growth of international trade, 
especially by die creation and expan­
sion of NAFTA, has made it important 
for foreign judges and lawyers to 
understand die American government 
and legal system in its entirety, Bell 
said.

The program, which lasts between 
eight and 10 hours a day, includes 
seminars on government issues such 
as civil law, international finance and

extradition.

Seminars are also highlighted by 
more than 25 speakers, including state 
Sen. Carlos Truan, D-Corpus Christi, 
and representatives from the Hispanic 
Bar Association.

"This year, the program has 18 par­
ticipants," said Vanessa Colombero, 
an intern from the International Office. 
"Last year, there were 12 partici­
pants."

Invitations to the program, which 
costs participants $1,700, were sent to 
countries around die world, including 
Spain, Chile, Brazil and Mexico, 
Colombero added.

But of the 18 participants, 16 are 

from Mexico.

Seven of the Mexican attendees are 
federal judges, and the rest are 
lawyers and law students.

The remaining participants are from 

Argentina and Venezuela.

Mario Melgar, a Mexican federal 
judge and participant in the seminar, 
said, "It is an opportunity for us to 
obtain information on the new skills 
that have developed in the United 
States."

In addition to learning more about 
the American legal system, Melgar 
said he attended the seminar to draw 
a comparison between the U.S. and

Mexican governments.

Eugenia G onzalez, a M exican 
law yer who atten ded the sem inar, 
said Mexico and the United States are 
under two totally different systems.

"It is interesting to leam the systems 
because they are so different," he 
added.

"Mexico has a close econom ical 
relationship with the U.S.," Gonzalez 
noted. "It is good to get to know each 
other's systems better."

"This program is going to help me 
every day. I will be able to advise 
American clients better and will have 
insight on how things w ork in the 
U.S.," he said.

At the end of the program , each 
participant will give presentations on 
what they have learned from the pro­
gram and its significance to their field 
of expertise.

Margaret Kidd, director of the UT 
International Office, said the program 
is beneficial to the University.

"It makes us very visible to people 
in South America and Latin American 
countries," she said. "The program 
gives our people an opportunity to 
lecture and present material complete­
ly in Spanish."

The program adds an elem ent of 

diversity to the University, she added.

The UT Student Government is 
busy this week finalizing a list of 
candidates to place on the board 
of directors for this fall's Post- 
Hopwood Summit.

The list of names for the board 
will be announced Friday, said 
SG Vice President Randy Cooke.

Bernard Rapoport, former 
chairm an of the UT System 
Board of Regents, will chair the 
summit board. The 10-member 
group will be charged with locat­
ing a venue for the summit, solic­
iting funding and scheduling 
guest speakers.

"I have a lot of friends that, if 
I'm involved, would have a ten­
dency to get in volved also," 
Rapoport said.

The board w ill include two 
students — including SG Presi­
dent Marlen W hitley — and 
other representatives from the 
University, Cooke said.

The Post-Hopwood Summit, 
tentatively slated for November, 
w ill be a 
three-day event 
designed to examine the effects 
of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of 
Appeals' ruling in the Hopwood 
case, a decision which bars Texas 
universities from using race as a 
factor in admissions or financial 
aid decisions.

who have written extensively on 
diversity."

Both Rapoport and Cooke said 
they have high hopes for who 
might speak at the summit.

"We would hope to get people

said.

Rapoport and Cooke did not

■ How does the lack of diversity affect 

minority students?

■ Why is diversity part of a well-rounded

Cooke said the cost of the sum­
mit could be as high as $100,000, 
to be paid for primarily by UT 
alumni "who are extremely inter­
ested in funding the program.

 Independent audit weighs 
Capital Metro’s efficiency

KEVIN LEY________________
Daily Texan Staff

A national auditing company pre­
sented its findings to Capital Metro 
Monday, advising the agency on 
what it is doing right, what it is 
doing wrong and what it should do 
in the future.

Rita Scott, a spokesw om an for 
C apital Metro, said KPMG Peat 
Marwick, the firm hired by the Cap­
ital Metro Board of Directors, has 
been conducting the audit for the 
past six months.

The firm researched the agency's 
reports and interviewed employees 
to obtain an accurate performance 
assessment, Scott said.

"We need to be as good as we can 
for ourselves," she said. "They showed 
us where we are weak and strong."

Auditor Peter Ferretti said one 
recom m endation is for C apital 
M etro to construct a long-term 
strategic plan to ensure continuity

in future board activities.

Turnover on the board, including 
its abolishment last May due to poor 
management, has made it difficult to 
take a unified course of action.

"M anagem ent and the board 
need a long-term plan so they can 
communicate to tne public where 
the agency is going," Ferretti said.

The firm also emphasized the high 
cost of the services offered by Capi­
tol Metro in relation to the agency's 
budget. Ferretti said the high cost is 
due in part to the fact that Austin 
provides more transportation ser­
vices than many other cities and the 
number of people who use Capital 
Metro's services is also higher than 
the average in other cities.

Auditor Bill Patterson said another 
problem is that Austin is not receiving 
a high return from its riders. He said 
the farebox recovery rate for Austin 
was 12 percent in 1995, far below the 
national average of 22 percent.

Patterson said the agency should

m r f o a c i n n i f c f^T*P«s f o r a l

consider increasing its fares for all 
services and eliminating a number 
of low-productivity routes.

In an effort build a more cost-effec­
tive agency, Justin Augustine, general 
manager for Capital Metro, has pro­
posed raising the fees on the VanPool 
service from $10 to $35. The $10 fare 
for the program, which provides vans 
to daily commuters, is among the low­
est in the country and forces Metro to 
take money from other services.

Before the firm 's presentation 
Monday, Gerald Robichaux, chief 
operating officer for Capital Metro, 
d iscu ssed the pro gress of the 
agency during the past year.

He said there has been a 4.5 per­
cent increase in ridership and a 9.78 
percent increase in on-time perfor­
mance. The 9,236 m iles traveled 
between bus repairs is a 216 percent 
improvement from last year.

Robichaux also said there has 
been a 19.7 percent increase in acci­
dents per 100,000 miles.

s illegal immigrants 
from their border smugglers

Associated Press

KERRVILLE — Two illegal immi­
grants have been freed after they 
were held against their will for almost 
a month because they couldn't pay 
for being smuggled into the country, 
immigration agents said Monday.

U.S. Immigration and Naturaliza­
tion Service agents, state troopers and 
local police raided a house in Ker- 
rville on Saturday after arranging to 
pay for a Mexican woman's release, 
said INS spokesman Ray Dudley.

A 28-year-old man also was being 
held at the house in lieu of a smug­
gling fee, officers said.

The unidentified woman told 
authorities she was locked up in a 
shed at night and forced to work as a 
maid in her captors' home, said Ker-

Authorities arrested Jose Reme­
dios Mendez, a 52-year-old undocu­
mented immigrant from Mexico, 
who is suspected of smuggling as 
many as 50 illegal aliens from Mexi­
co each month. Also arrested were 
M endez's w ife, M aria, 56; their 
daughter, Erika, 25; a 16-year-old 
son and a 15-year-old daughter.

At least some of the five may face 
charges such as transporting illegal 
aliens, harboring, aiding and abet­
in d ivid u als 
ting and holding 
against their will, Dudley said.

The woman who was held against 
her will told authorities she was one 
of 14 illegal immigrants smuggled 
into the country in late June for $700 
each. All but she, her husband and 
the other man paid their fee and were

The husband was released later to 
work in Grand Prairie to raise the 
money, Dudley said. The husband 
contacted a church group, which 
called the Kerrville police, who then 
informed the INS, Dudley said.

“ They met at a remote location 
like a service station, and the 
woman was released," Dudley said. 
“ Agents then followed the vehicle 
to the house."

The woman and her husband 
were being detained as material 
witnesses.

In the raid, law officers also 
seized two late-m odel pickup 
trucks, two automatic weapons, two 
handguns, $2,600 in cash and coun­
terfeit documents, Dudley said.

Early voting begins on tax issue

_ 

, . 

, 

Associated Press

Texas homeowners may have a "no- 
brainer" tax break awaiting them at the 
ballot box. But state officials fear a low 
voter turnout and some people say the 
obvious choice has consequences.

Early voting for the Aug. 9 elec­
tion began M onday and runs 
through Aug. 5.

On the ballot is a single question, 
asking voters whether homestead 
property tax exemptions should be 
increased from a minim um of 
$5,000 to a minimum of $15,000.

The higher exemption will cost 
school districts about $1 billion 
every two years — money lawmak­
ers have pledged to replace.

Secretary of State Tony Garza, the 
, began 
state's chief elections official, began

t ___ r, 

. 
his week in South Texas on a get- 
out-the-vote tour. He has not set an 
estimate on how many of the state's 
10.6 million registered voters will 
cast a ballot in the election.

Ann McGeehan, Garza's election 
director, said she expects between 
10 percent and 15 percent.

The tax exemption question comes 
after lawmakers failed to approve an 
attempt to lower and cap local school 
property taxes. The House and Sen­
ate approved separate plans to cut 
the locally set tax rates, but could not 
agree on a final version of the idea.

Instead, they approved a plan to 
increase the amount of a home's value 
not subject to taxation for schools. 
Also included is dedicating lottery 
revenues to education and a provision 
allowing Texans 65 and older to trans­
auowu^ icaoiu iw 

far a rvmnnrfionate amount of thei

fer a proportionate amount of their 
homestead tax freezes from one home 
to another if they move.

The lottery-to-education provision 
goes into effect Septr 1 regardless of 
the election. The tax freeze portabili­
ty is contingent on the election.

Bush has said there's little argument 
against increasing the tax-exemptions. 
Even so, the governor also plans a get- 
out-the-vote tour before Aug. 9.

As property tax rates continue to 
go up, school districts will lose 
more money because of the tax 
exemption. That means the exemp­
tions will cost more than $1 billion 
in the future.

The $1 billion being used to pay for 
the tax break in the next two-year bud­
get, beginning Sept. 1, came from state 
funds reserved for such spending.

ors look for dumb laws

Associated Press

It has become known as the feder­

al toilet law.

To conserve water, Congress in 
1992 approved legislation reducing 
the amount of water that can be used 
each time a toilet flushes, thus also 
reducing the water pressure and the 
ability to clear the bowl of its contents.
After complaints flooded in from 
people saying that they now need to

flush two and three times to get 
enough pressure to clear the bowl 
thus wasting more water than before
several U.S. House members on the
Corrections Advisory Group are now 
attempting to flush the law, once and 
for all. That group, comprising 12 
House members, is going across the 
country looking for other "foolish and 
ridiculous laws" for repeal or amend­
ment.

On Monday, the group was repre­

sented by Reps. Sam Johnson, R-Plano, 
and Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth, at a 
hearing open to the public.

Since its inception in 1995, the leg­
islative corrections process has result­
ed in 23 bills being passed by Con­
gress and 16 being signed into law.

“ The public w asn't consulted 
about the toilet law," Johnson said. 
"The public has to work, so it never 
gets consulted about anything. Kay 
and I think that the people have bet­
ter ideas about what's best.

The House members heard an 
assortm ent of stories M onday, 
mostly focusing on overburden- 
some regulations being adm inis­
tered by agencies such as the Envi­
ronmental Protection Agency.

Michael J. Nasi, an attorney repre­
senting the dty of Frisco, just north 
of Dallas, said actions taken by the 
dty regarding the discharge of efflu­
ents by a battery company had been 
targeted for $125,000 in fines by one 
arm of the EPA and cited for an 
award by another EPA section.

Nasi said the EPA had dted the 
dty for allowing too much effluent, 
which included salt water, into its
water system.

The city, rather than reroute the 
effluent to a larger body of water 
where it would be diluted according 
to EPA standards, tried to work with 
the plant responsible for discharging 
the salt water on a method that would 
eliminate the pollutants completely.

David Bary, an EPA spokesman in 
Dallas, said, "We are quite used to 
criticism of die agency.

Don Summers, a 65-year-old owner 
of an electric generator service busi­
ness in Austin, complained about a 
federal law requiring him to send cer­
tain taxes withheld from employees 
directly to the DRS via wire.

Businesses have the option of allow­
ing the IRS to withdraw tíre money 
from their accounts directly or autho­
rize their bank to wire the money

RB Sanders joins Lions camp

Pace still a 
Chiefs’Alt retires; 
Alberts misses exam

Associated Press

The St. Louis Rams are confident they'll 
keep Orlando Pace, but can he keep pace if 
he doesn't soon come to terms with the NFL 
team?

For the fourth straight day, Pace — the 
offe^isive lineman selected first overall in the 
April draft — was absent from training camp 
at Macomb, HI., and indications were it could 
be some time before he signs.

"He will be a Ram," St. Louis coach Dick 
Vermeil said Monday. "We'll get it done, 
sooner or later."

Vermeil has made noise about Pace begin­
ning the season on the bench if he s not 
signed by a certain point, but he hasn't set a 
target date yet, partly because he has busied 
himself with the 80 or so players in camp.

"I haven't even thought about that date, 
Vermeil said. "To be honest with you, it real­
ly hasn't been on my mind. You have so 
many other things and our day is a long day.
"I think I'm better off staying out of it 
because I wouldn't want his agents to think 
I'm poisoning his thinking. They have a job 
to do, we have a job to do and hopefully 
we'll get it done."

U m

Barry Sanders joined Detroit for practice at 
Saginaw Valley State, a day after becoming 
the highest-paid player in the NFL.

"I feel rusty," said Sanders, who missed 
the last minicamp and held out for the first 
three days of full-squad drills under new 
coach Bobby Ross. "I have some catching up 
to do. But, I'm not too far behind."

The running back agreed to a five-year 
contract with an option for a sixth year. The 
Detroit News and Detroit Free Press said 
Sanders agreed to a $34.56 million deal that 
averages slightly more than $5.7 million a
season. 

Sanders won the NFL rushing title last sea­
son with 1,553 yards, becoming the first back 
in league history to rush for 1,500 yards or 
better in three straight seasons. Sanders also 
is the first back to rush for more than 1,000 
yards in eight straight seasons.

Alberts was told to report to training camp

Oilers’ George wants to be ^ ^ £ “iver faiIs p
more versatile in backfield

new dual-purpose stadium during a 
training camp visit to Mankato, 
Minn.

J —

Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Everyone 
knows Eddie George can run with 
the ball The Tennessee Oilers run­
ning back wants to show something 
different this year.

George, the 1996 NFL offensive 
rookie of the year, has been working 
on catching passes out of the backfield. 
He dropped a couple of passes during 
warmups for Monday's practice, so he 
stayed around and worked with third- 
string quarterback James Ritchey for 
nearly 10 minutes.

"H e's prepared himself 

to 
improve over his rookie year, and 
the thing that all of us try to do is 
make improvements from the first

year to the second year," said offen­
sive line-tight ends coach George 
Henshaw.

"That's what you look for as a 
coach because what'll happen this 
year is he won't sneak up on anyone 
like he did last year."

George caught only 23 passes for 
182 yards last season. The 1995 Heis- 
man Trophy winner from Ohio State 
was much more effective on the 
ground, carrying 335 times for 1,368 
yards.

With Steve McNair slotted at 
quarterback, George brings more 
versatility to the Oilers, who have 
added a 
their 
offense, trying to expand both the

two-back set to 

passing and running games.

Ronnie Harmon was the top pass- 
catching running back for the Oilers 
last season with 42 catches for 488 
yards. Both he and Rodney Thomas 
have been busy catching passes in 
training camp.

George caught passes out of the 
backfield during his senior year at 
Ohio State, but he said he wants to 
make catching balls more automatic.
"That's one dimension that I can 
be effective at, once I'm given an 
opportunity and experience to just 
keep getting better. I know I'm going 
to make mistakes. I know I'm going 
to drop balls, but it's what I do to get 
better for consistency," he said.

Rangers: Key allows 6 hits in 6 innings
Continued from page 7

five of his previous six decisions. 
Key outpitched Oliver (6-10), who 
allowed four runs and six hits over 6
1-3 innings.

Key gave up a first-inning run on 
Will Clark's RBI single, but he shut 
out Texas over the next five innings.
"After the first inning, I threw the 
ball as well as I have in the second 
half," said Key, who has allowed one 
run in 15 innings against Texas this 
season. "I was on top of the ball 
again tonight. I hope to keep it up 
over the next 15 starts."

The Orioles opened a six-game 
road trip after a 3-7 homestand dur­
ing which their lead shrunk to 3 1/2 
games over the New York Yankees in 
the AL East.

"They're coming on strong, as we 
figured they would," Palmeiro said 
of the Yankees, who beat Milwaukee

7-3 Monday night. "But we can play 
with anybody in this game and 
we've showed that. I think our team 
plays better on the road. We're more 
relaxed."

Jeffrey Hammonds added a run- 
scoring triple in the seventh, driving 
in Brady Anderson, who had 
walked. Oliver walked Berroa inten­
tionally, then followed with a walk 
to Palmeiro to load the bases. Cal 
Ripken's ground-out drove in the 
second run of the inning to extend 
Baltimore's lead to 4-1.

Baltimore made it 5-1 in the eighth 
when Jeff Reboulet doubled and 
scored on Anderson's single.

Texas had taken a 1-0 first-inning 
lead when Ivan Rodriguez singled, 
advanced to second on a waik and 
scored on Clark's two-out single.

The Rangers have lost six of their

last eight.

Oliver said Key's pitching perfor­
mance forced him to be almost per­
fect.

"In a tight game like that when the 
other guy's pitching well, you can't 
afford to make mistakes like that," 
Oliver said.

■ Notes: Cal Ripken played in his 
2,477th game, passing Max Carey to 
take over 41st place on the all-time 
list. ... Ripken also had his 1,428th 
RBI to break a tie for 44th with Char­
lie Gehringer. ... Berroa has a 10- 
game hitting streak. ... The Rangers 
have used 61 different lineups. They 
used 73 all of last season. ... Balti­
more plays 14 of its next 17 games on 
the road. The Orioles opened a six- 
game ro^d trip on Monday. ... Oliver 
had won three consecutive deci­
sions.

Smith: ‘I’m ready for boot camp’
Continued from page 7

Smith pulled off his hat to reveal a 
shaved head. It's his good luck symbol 
for the new season. He is hale and 
hearty as he has been in several seasons.
"It's all part of my new attitude," 
Smith said. "I'm ready for boot 
camp. I'm ready for the best season 
I've ever had."

That would take some doing. In 
1995, Smith rushed for 1,773 yards 
and scored 25 touchdowns. In seven 
years, he has won four NFL rushing 
titles and amassed 10,160 yards and 
a Super Bowl MVP award.

"My physical strength is as good

as it has ever been and my body fat 
is down," said Smith, who has never 
been known as a weightlifting fiend. 
"I'm quicker than I've ever been. My 
ankle was healed with surgery. I m 
ready for the wars. I'm almost 100 
percent."

A determined Smith behind a 
healthy offensive line is a welcome 
sight for Cowboys fans.

"Last year, we couldn't pass the 
ball because of all our injuries and 
they just teed off on Our running 
game," said Smith, who averaged a 
career low 3.7 yards per carry. "This

year it's going to be different. We've 
got a training camp where we can 
regain our focus. We're not going to 
be flying all over the country. We're 
going to get our running game going 
again."

As for writing Smith off, it proba­

bly wouldn't be a good idea.

"I could play another eight years 
if I can stay healthy," he said. "Keep 
me healthy and see what happens."

With that, Smith put his hat back 
on his shaved head. And he walked 
away without a limp.

Tagliabue urged Twin Cities civic 
leaders to consider a facility that 
would replace the Metrodome and 
accommodate both the Vikings and 
baseball Twins. Stadium discussions 
so far have focused only on a new 
ballpark for the Twins, with the 
Vikings remaining in a renovated 
Metrodome.

w

San Diego waived Jimmy Oliver, a 
1995 second-round pick who never 
played a regular-season game. The 
receiver failed a physical Thursday, 
and an MRI exam Friday confirmed 
he had tom cartilage in his right 
knee.

Also, defensive tackle Reuben 
Davis underwent surgery to repair his 
tom right Achilles tendon. Davis, who 
signed a $5.6 million, four-year con­
tract in March, was hurt in a non-con­
tact agility drill Saturday.

Arizona defensive end Simeon 
Rice, last year's NFL defensive rook­
ie of the year after tying the rookie 
record with 12 1 / 2 sacks, missed his 
second and third practices because 
of a headache of unknown origin. 
He was hospitalized at Flagstaff 
(Ariz.) Medical Center on Sunday 
for about 12 hours.

Guard Eric Jonassen twisted his 
right knee during practice, and was 
scheduled to undergo an MRI exam 
to determine the extent of the injury.
Saints

New Orleans guard Chris Naeole, 
selected 10th overall in the April draft, 
injured his left knee during a practice 
in La Crosse, Wis. The former Col­
orado player left the field on a cart 
and was hospitalized for tests. An on­
field examination by trainer Dean 
Kleinschmidt indicated Naeole had 
strained or tom a knee ligament, 
according to coach Mike Ditka.

took part in his first practice with

option for next season. Emtman, 
selected first overall in the 1992 draft 
by Indianapolis, had 55 tackles last 
season for Miami.

Redsldns

Washington fullback Larry Bowie 
participated in his first practice after 
being excused because of the death 
of his father. The Redskins bposted 
their receiving corps to 12 with the 
arrival of former CFL player Felman 
Malvo.

Buffalo has decided Steve Tasker 
is special. After one season as a full­
time receiver, Takser is back on the 
special teams, a position that earned 
him seven trips to the Super Bowl.

Coach Marv Levy said Tasker still 
could see playing time as a receiver.

Jets

New York terminated the contract 
of linebacker Bobby Houston, a six- 
year player who told the team he had 
no interest in playing for it. Also, 
quarterback Glen Foley was removed j 
from the physically-unable-to-per-/ 
form list, where he had been placed 
after straining a calf muscle Saturday.

Jaguars

Renaldo Wynn, Jacksonville's No. 1 
draft pick, made his training camp 
debut after agreeing to a contract. The 
former Notre Dame defensive line­
man, selected 21st overall, missed the 
Jaguars' first three camp sessions.

MILWAUKEE — New York Yan­
kees outfielder Mark Whiten was 
arrested Monday on a charge of sec­
ond degree sexual assault involving 
a 31-year-old woman, police said.

Whiten, 30, was arrested at 3:05 
p.m. on the final day of the Yankees' 
four-day trip to Milwaukee, police 
Lt. Ernest Meress said. Whiten was 
released Monday night on $10,000 
bond, according to his attorney, 
Steve Glynn.

The Yankees were scheduled to 
take a flight from Milwaukee to New 
York after their 7-3 win over the 
Brewers. Whiten was not going to 
travel with the team.

The district attorney's office will 
review the case Tuesday and decide 
whether to file a charge, Meress said. 
Whiten was to meet with the district 
attorney, Glynn said.

Police officers were called about 4 
a.m. Saturday to a downtown loca­
tion in the same block as the Pfister 
Hotel where the Yankees stay, Sgt. 
Eamell Lucas said.

The officers conducted an investi­
gation but "at that time there was no 
allegation of sexual assault," Lucas 
said.

"We developed information that 
some incident did occur. It wasn't 
until this morning when we re-inter­
viewed the alleged victim that we

developed enough information to 
pursue a possible charge of sexual 
assault," he said.

"[Whiten] was contacted and he 
voluntarily came 
to Milwaukee 
police headquarters today. Shortly 
thereafter, he was placed under 
arrest," Lucas said.

The Yankees declined to discuss 
specifics about the alleged incident. 
Whiten missed two games last week 
to travel to Clearwater, Fla., to be 
with his wife when she delivered the 
couple's second child, a boy.

"I'm concerned for Whiten," Yan­
kees manager Joe Torre said after a 
7-3 win over the Brewers. "Not 
being available is secondary to ... 
there's some problems, and we just 
hope they can be solved."

Whiten was batting .245 with five 
home runs and 23 RBIs in 200 at-bats 
for the Yankees. With Tim Raines 
and Darryl Strawberry on the dis­
abled list, Whiten had been playing 
regularly in left field until a recent

slump that dropped his batting aver­
age 13 points since the All-Star 
break.

The strong-armed outfielder has 
played in 63 games this year, but 
only five of the previous 11.

In May, Yankees owner Georgé 
Steinbrenner was upset that Whiten 
went with pitcher Dwight Gooden 
to a strip club in Arlington, Texas. 
Gooden left the club by himself and 
later became involved in a scuffle 
with a taxi driver.

Whiten signed as a free agent with 
the Yankees on Jan. 9. He has played 
for eight teams since making his 
major league debut with Toronto in 
1990.

He later went to Cleveland, St. 
Louis and Boston, and split 1996 
with Philadelphia, Atlanta and Seat­
tle.

Whiten tied a major league record 
with four home runs in a game in 
1993 while playing for St. Louis. He 
accomplished the feat in the second 
game of a doubleheader against 
Cincinnati, and tied an NL record 
with 13 RBIs in the two games.

outfielder Luis Polonia was arrested

sions dabble in some fascinating terri­
tory — identity, culture, childhood 
traum a and im agined fears — and 
there are moments of innovation and 
genuine humor. Here the play is most 
enjoyable, w hen the brothers m ine 
familiar territory, recreating childhood 
bickerings or fragile joys, im itating 
their deliciously snooty neighbors.

B u t as it v en tu res in to an cien t 
mythology, Clayangels takes an almost 
operatic turn — a wide turn at once 
abstruse and heavy-handed, one nei­
ther the actors nor directors Laurie 
Carlos and Grisha Coleman can steer. 
At its heart, the play seems to be about 
the brothers' enduring love and trust, a 
touching elegy to a lifelong bond. But

Todd Christopher Jones, left, and Daniel Alexander Jones star in Clayangels.

Clayangels throws its narrative tenta­
cles far and wide, and grabs at air.1

This is the second performance piece 
from Daniel Alexander Jones, a man of 
unprecedented talent. And like his last 
piece, Blood:Shock:Boogie, Clayangels 
showcases the w riter/director/actor's 
versatility: he sings, he dances; he imi­
tates; he incarnates. He oozes talent.

Indeed, Daniel Alexander Jones would 
transfix you as he scrambled eggs.

But Clayangels itself is an Icarus of 
dram atic en d eavors. Its w ritin g is 
puffed up; its soaring visual metaphor 
beyond the common horizon; its refer­
ence to hip-hop and popular culture 
truly baffling. And ultimately, Clayan­
gels' wings simply don’t fly that high.

SOUND BITES

SON VOLT
When: July 16,1997 
Where: Austin Music Hall

Wednesday night, Son Volt, the folk- 
sier aspect of former powerband Uncle 
Tupelo, brought its melancholy swamp 
w ood barh all blu es caravan to the 
Austin.
_ Son Volt opened with the new sin­
gle, "Back Into Your W orld" from its 
second major label release Straight­
aways and proceeded to fill the hall for 
the duration with a unique, amalga- 
- mated country-rock sound. The unique 
[style defies classification, but the blood 
of Hank Williams Sr., Sun Records-era 
Jphnny Cash and standard four-chord 
..rock certain ly pum ps throu gh Son 
Volt7s musical heart.

With a return to its first album, Trace, 
Son Volt further energized the audi­
ence with the upbeat tale "Catching 
O n ," about a new hand learning to 
play love's game. Chief songwnter and 
vocalist Jay Farrar's skill in regret-filled 
or "on-the-road" songs was clear in the 
vivid imagery provided in "Live Free," 
as he d escribes the urge to see his 
sw eeth eart's "sm ile th rou gh a pay 
p h o n e " and th e g reat M ississip p i 
D elta.

Such m oving, sim ple and honest 
lyrics induced more than one pair of 
attendees to engage in doe-eyed smiles 
ánd other such displays. W ith "Tear 
Stained E ye," the sixth song of the 
evening, a few couples toward the rear 
"proceeded to dance to the infectious

three-four rhythm, a fitting display of 
Son Volt's excellent musicianship and 
synchronization.

H ie fiddle accompaniment from gui­
tarist Dave Boquist was such a subtle, 
perfect countermelody that its intoxi­
cating presence might have overshad­
owed Farrar's voice or the guest pedal 
steelist. "Tear Stained Eye" also served 
as an excellent highlight of Farrar s 
songsmithing, with telling lines like 
"S te. G en evieve can hold back the 
w ater/ But saints don't bother with a 
tear-stained eye."

Son Volt's musical harmonies were 
as fabulously done as the songwriting. 
B a ssist Jim B o q u ist's and F arrar s 
vocals combined in excellent harmony, 
and the singing was honest and raw.

Son, V olt's simplicity — and their 
awareness of the power of simplicity 
— continu ed to shine as drum m er 
Mike Heidom's accompaniment to the 
guitars and voices was, in one case, 
reduced to a single tambourine and his 
bass drum.

But halfw ay through the set, too 
much of the band's slow, loneliness- 
with-a-pitcher-of-beer songs turned a

The popular conception of rodeo 
bull riders is a bunch of chaw-spitting, 
inarticulate hicks with the sufficient 
courage and land of brains to tie them­
selves to 2,000-pound buck­
ing animals for money.

FILM

£

Chasing the Dream dispels 
such notions in less than an 
hour w ith a blend of cre­
ativity, humor and respect. 
First-tim e Austin film ­
makers Jeff Fraley and Harry Lynch 
have created a d o cu m en tary that 
examines the motivation behind the 
men who travel tíre rodeo circuit, risk­
ing their lives daily for relatively little 
money and limited fame.

The movie begins with a succession 
of riders speaking about their love for 
the sport. Most are articulate, even elo­
quent, as they describe the intensity 
and excitement of their work.

Som e, like 1995 w orld cham pion 
Tuff Hedeman, are modest about their 
talents, w hile others, m ost notably 
retired rider Don Gay, have egos that 
possibly weigh more than the bulls. 
Many have a w onderfully dry wit, 
highlighted by the nearly impeccable 
timing of editor Don Howard.

The film traces the history of bull 
riding, presumed to have begun on a 
long-ago d are and has progressed 
through the years into the multimil- 
lion-dollar industry it is today.

It quickly moves on to a school for 
am ateur bull riding, w here Fraley, 
who also narrates the film, gamely 
tries to capture the experience of riding 
first hand.

Scenes of men struggling to avoid
the hooves of furious bulls are deftly

interspersed with commentary from 
the riders. This combination creates a 
pace befitting a movie about a sport in 
which a title can be won or lost in the 
space of eight seconds.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing 
about Chasing the Dream is die respect­
ful treatment of the subject matter. The 
bull rider's personalities and expertise 
are allowed to shine through, and a 
good portion of the film is devoted to 
the dangers of the sport.

Footage of bloody injuries and an 
interview with a mother who lost her 
son to a bull riding accident serve as a 
sober reminder of the risks involved 
without betraying a hint of exploita­
tion. This approach serves the film ­
makers well; even those who never 
cared remotely for the sport are forced 
to admire the grace, finesse and full-on 
adrenaline rush involved.

C hasin g the D ream is freq u en tly 
funny, som etim es gory and always 
compelling. Fraley and Lynch have 
taken an unusual topic and limited 
resources and transformed them into a 
well-done, highly entertaining docu­
mentary.

The movie premiered Thursday in a 
one-tim e show ing at Dobie Theater 
and will begin the independent film 
festival circuit this month in Nebraska.

ASSO CIATED PR ESS

Miss America contestants 
may wear 2-pieces this year

Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Fifty 
years after Miss America first wore 
a two-piece swimsuit, she will try 
one on again.

In a break with tradition, contes­
tants this year will get to choose the 
style they wear for the swimsuit 
competition, provided it's not a tee­
nie-weenie bikini or a thong-style 
suit.

The women will be allowed to 
wear a one-piece or two-piece solid- 
color suit, and will have to buy it off 
the rack. For the sake of fairness, 
they'll have to certify it was not cus­
tom-made.

The two-pieces must also have 
"full" or "moderate" rear bottoms. 
The top must be a "full coverage" 
style with straps from front to back 
or a halter strap no less than a half 
inch in width.

The change is not for sex appeal's 
sake, said Leonard Horn, chief exec­
utive officer of the Miss America 
Organization. And it's not the first 
time: In 1947, all contestants wore 
two-piece suits.

'"The reason we're doing that is 
we're trying to stress the impor­

tance of coming to compete in the 
type of clothing you wear at home," 
Horn said Monday.

Ever since it began as a bathing 
beauty contest in 1921, the Miss 
America Pageant has endured a sort 
of love-hate relationship with the 
swimsuit segment.

Never a favorite of contestants, it 
became a lightning rod for criticism 
— even from within. In 1950, win­
ner Yolanda Betbeze refused to pose 
in a swimsuit after capturing the 
crown, prompting swimsuit maker 
Catalina to withdraw its sponsor­
ship and start a riyal pageant, Miss 
Universe.

Two years ago, view ers were 
asked to call in during the telecast 
and vote on whether the swimsuit 
competition should go on as sched­
uled. It did.

The introduction of two-piece 
suits is not the only change in the 
swimsuit competition. Contestants, 
who switched from the traditional 
and uncomfortable high heels to 
bare feet in 1994, will wear sandals 
with heels of two inches or less this 
time around.

Other changes:

■ The Sept. 13 pageant switches to 
ABC after more tnan 30 years at 
NBC. Last year's telecast drew the 
lowest TV ratings since 1954, when 
the pageant was first televised.

■ There will be no call-in seg­
ment. In 1995, it was the swimsuit 
call-in . In 1996, view ers were 
encouraged to call 900 numbers to 
voice their choice for semifinalists. 
Both telecasts were plagued with 
technical problems.

■ Regis Philbin, the solo host of 
the telecast last year after sharing 
the job for several years with broad­
cast partner Kathie Lee Gifford, has 
been replaced by All My Children 
stars John Callahan and Eva LaRue.
■ A "well-known, respected jour­
nalist" — still to be chosen — will 
conduct on-stage interviews with 
the five finalists with free rein to ask 
any question on any topic and no 
prior notice to the network’ or 
pageant officials.

■ The talent segments of the 10 
sem ifin alists w ill be scattered 
throughout the 2 1 / 2-hour telecast, 
instead of being presented consecu­
tively, in hopes of keeping the show 
moving.

Disney buys Mammoth Records

Associated Press

BURBANK, Calif. — The Walt 
Disney Co. on Monday purchased 
the alternative label Mammoth 
Records in its latest bid to bolster its 
struggling music business.

In buying Carrboro, N.C.-based 
Mammoth, Disney picks up not only 
a few promising acts, but Mammoth 
founder and president Jay Faires.

With Mammoth, Faires has culti­
vated popular and profitable bands 
such as Squirrel Nut Zippers, whose 
album Hot went gold with a sound 
reminiscent of the Big Band era.

Other acts on the Mammoth roster 
include the Southern rock band The 
Backsliders, Pure and Frente!

"We're going to maintain our cul­

ture ... but I think there's leverages 
you get with being with a bigger 
company," Faires said by telephone 
from Oregon, where he was on vaca­
tion.

"W hether it's one of my artists 
writing a song for a hit TV show at 
ABC to help his career ... or doing a 
soundtrack for the next Pulp Fiction, 
those are the kinds of benefits that 
could catapult us to becoming a 
major record company," he said.

Under the deal with Disney, Faires 
gets a five-year contract to continue 
as Mammoth's president. Papers 
closing the deal were signed Mon­
day, Disney spokesman Tom Deegan 
said. Terms of the sale were not dis­
closed. The W all Street Journal 
reported drat its value was in the $20

million to $25 million range.

Disney executives are hoping 
Mammoth will provide a needed 
boost for the com pany's music 
group, which includes Hollywood 
Records and a new, and as yet 
unnamed, Nashville label, aimed at 
the country market. All will be dis­
tributed by Polygram.

Hollywood Records, which releas­
es a variety of albums from rap to 
alternative to heavy metal, has failed 
to produce a hit.

Last month, it pulled about 
135,000 copies of Insane Clown Pos­
se's obscenity-laced album, just days 
after the Southern Baptists urged a 
boycott of Disney, in part because it 
provides health benefits to homosex­
ual partners.

‘Oddfather’ defense team wraps up case

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Lawyers for 
reputed mob boss Vincent "Chin" 
Gigante rested their case Monday 
without calling any witnesses, 
underscoring their belief that 
charges of murder and racketeering 
were never proved.

Gigante's lawyers took their 
action shortly after federal prosecu­
tors rested their case after putting 
on 19 days of testimony from FBI

agents, police officers and six turn­
coat mobsters.

U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein 
set closing arguments for Tuesday 
and jurors could get the case as 
early as Wednesday.

The defense claims the 69-year- 
old Gigante, known as die "Oddfa­
ther/' is mentally incompetent and 
therefore incapable of running a 
criminal enterprise. Prosecutors say 
he is head of the Genovese crime 
family and has faked illness for

years to escape justice.

Witnesses included three former 
mob underbosses — Salvatore 
"Sammy die Bull" Gravano of die 
Gambino family, Alphonso O'Arco 
of the Lucchese family and Philip 
"Crazy Phil" Leonetti, formerly No. 
2 in die Philadelphia mob.

While they referred to Gigante as 
boss of the Genovese family, none of 
diethreetiedhimdirectly toanyof the 
seven murders or three unfulfilled 
death plots specified in the chaiges,
