BELGRADE, Y u g o sla v ia — A se n io r 
Yugoslav m inister accused NATO of trying 
to torpedo a Kosovo peace plan by intensi­
fying bombings on the eve of talks between 
S lo b o d a n M ilo se v ic a n d in te rn a tio n a l 
envoys, and the arm y announced Tuesday 
that a top general had been killed.

It was unclear whether the death was the 
re su lt of an attack by NATO, w hich has

M arch 24. The Yugoslav m ilitary usually 
does not report its casualties.

Gov. George W. Bush praised bipar­
tisanship and claimed legislative suc­
cess at a press conference Tuesday, 
reflecting on the end of the 76th 
Legislative session.

The 76th Legislature concluded busi­
ness Monday and sent final bills to the 
governor's office for approval. Bush 
has until June 20 to sign or veiouny 
bills sent to him.

"I commend legislators for a success­
ful and substantive session that will 
result in better schools and lower 
taxes," Bush said. 'Texas is leading the 
nation when it comes to improving our 
schools. We are raising standards, 
strengthening accountability and fund­
ing early intervention so that every 
child learns to read and no child is left 
behind."

Bush was referring to Senate Bill 4, 
w hich approves the largest public 
school spending increase in state histo-
*y-

SB 4 provides a substantial pay raise 
to Texas teachers, gives $2.1 billion in 
new money and includes funds for

I want to look 
people in the eye 
and shake their hands and 
let ’em know what’s on my
heart.”

 Gov. George Vi. Bush

construction and debt refinancing.

Full-time teachers, school librarians 
and counselors will receive a $3,000 pay 
raise for the two-year budget cycle.

Rep. Rob Junell, D-San Angelo, said 
Bush deserved a great deal of the credit 
for the success of the 76th Legislature.

"He sets out a clear legislative agen­
da," Junell said "He knows how to 
build consensus; he works in a spirit of 
cooperation and respect for others ... I 
have a feeling that in the next several 
months the people of America will find 
out w hat the people of Texas know 
about Gov. Bash."

Part of Bush's ' spirit of cooperation" 
was included in Senate Bill 441, sent to

the governor at the last minute Sunday.
SB 441 balances progressive tax 
strategies — such as the elimination of 
sales tax on over-the-counter medicine 
and a three-day August sales tax holi­
day on clothing and footwear — with a 
more conservative agenda of $1.35 bil­
lion in property tax cuts.

Bush pointed to cooperation among 
legislators of different parties as a pri­
mary factor in a productive session.

He complimented Sen. David Sibley, 
R-Waco, and Rep. Steven Wolens, D- 
Dallas, for their cooperation on the elec- 
tnc deregulation issue.

"The session will mean lower electric 
rates for people all across the spec­
trum," Bush said.

Senate Bill 7 deregulates the Texas 
utility industry and may result in lower 
rates. It also closes a loophole in the 
Texas Clean Air Act that exempted 
electrical power plants built prior to 
1971 from modem pollution standards.

"W e'll have cleaner air through 
reduced emissions from grandfathered 
plants," Bush said.

Richard Fawal, spokesman for the 
Sustainable Energy and Economic 
Development coalition, said SB 7 was a

moderate environmental success but 
disagreed on the subject of clean air vic­
tory for the session.

"[They] did not close the grandfather 
loophole at all [for all other industrial 
facilities]," Fawal said. He added that 
Senate Bill 766, which relates to all other 
industrial plant polluters, failed to pro­
vide adequate reform.

"SB 766 is incredibly weak," Fawal 
said. "It7s the government's responsibil­
ity to make sure the air we breathe is 
safe ... The government has failed us 
on this count."

Regardless of perceived successes or 
failures of the session, its conclusion 
does raise one well-known question — 
will the governor seek presidential 
office?

Bush responded that he is consider­

ing it.

"It is important that as we head to 
the 21st Century that prosperity be pur­
poseful and meaningful," Bush said. 
"That is why I am considering to run."

He added that with the session's 
close, he plans to "start traveling 
around. I want to look people in the eye 
and shake their hands and let 'em 
know what's on my heart."

Airline ticket prices increasing

A sso c ia te d P re ss

DALLAS — The cost of flying to 
your favorite vacation spot is up 
alm ost 11 percent this year after 
a n o th e r fare in c re a se from the 
m ajor airlines at the sta rt of the 
sum m er travel season.

The third fare increase of 1999 is 
expected to stick since Northwest 
Airlines Corp. has gone along with 
a 4 p e rc e n t in c re a se lev ied by 
Continental Airlines last week.

N orthwest has been the stickler 
in the fare game for the air indus­
try. Last year, more than a dozen 
attem pts to raise airline fares failed

because Northwest declined to go 
along with other airlines' prices.

As the fare hike spread, shares of 
m any airline companies got a lift 
Tuesday on Wall Street.

The 4 percent increase instituted 
this weekend had been in doubt for 
several days. C ontinental m oved 
first to raise fares on Friday. But by 
M onday, several a irlin es rolled

San Antonio may get A&M component

Sarah Gainer
D aily Texan Staff

Texas A&M University officials said Tuesday they will 
explore higher education needs in San Antonio and may 
consider creating an institutional center in conjunction 
with the Alamo Community College District.

At the request of San Antonio lawmakers, the Texas 
L egislature a p p ro p ria te d $1.6 m illion to the A&M 
System to study higher education in the south part of 
San Antonio, an area that lacks a four-year college.

Though it's currently in the earliest planning stages, 
the program could eventually make Palo Alto College — 
one of four two-year colleges in the community college 
system — part of A&M's 10-campus system.

Leo Sayavedra, deputy chancellor for academic insti­
tutions and agencies of the Texas A&M System, said the 
goal is to assess the needs of the San Antonio area and 
whether an A&M campus is needed there.

"W e're going to investigate and find out what the 
needs are and at that point develop a plan," Sayavedra 
said.

Officials at UT-San Antonio said A&M's presence 
would only mean more higher education opportunities 
for students in the city.

David Gabler, UTSA director of public affairs, said 
UTS A is very supportive of any efforts to provide more 
higher education resources He added that the Texas

Higher Education Coordinating Board has guidelines to 
ensure that Texas schools offer varying courses, and that 
the two schools would therefore probably not be in com­
petition.

Sayavedra said the coordinating board has developed 
a form at to im plem ent sim ilar types of p ro g ram s 
throughout the state using a pathway approach.

Through this approach, various institutions come 
together to offer programs for a specific location that has 
a certain need, he explained. After researching that need, 
the state may consider establishing a campus.

"If in fact there is a need [in San Antonio] ... Then it's 
quite possible that something may be offered as early as 
fall 2000," Sayavedra said.

Jorge A. Ramirez, director of marketing and public 
relations for the Alamo Community College District, 
said he is careful not to make any major projections since 
the proposal is in its earliest stages.

Though there are no immediate plans, the eventual 
hope for the district is to provide better access to a four- 
year university for south San Antonio, Ramirez said.

He added that because officials from the community 
college district are not as heavily involved in the plan­
ning as those from A&M, they are waiting to see how 
things will work out.

"The p lan n in g w ill be com ing m ore from A&M 
because they're the ones with the appropriations, and 
they're the leaders in this project," he said.

Clinton takes aim at 
video game violence

A s s o c ia t e d P r e s s

W ASHINGTON — P resident Clinton, b randishing a cartoonish 
m agazine ad for a video gam e "more fun than shooting your neigh­
bor's cat," ordered a governm ent investigation Tuesday into whether 
— and how — the entertainm ent business m arkets violence to chil­
dren.

"O ur children are being fed a dependable daily dose of violence," 
C linton said, that am ounts to the typical child w itnessing 40,000 play 
m urders and 200,000 dram atized acts of violence by his 18th b irth ­
day.

Such a b arrage blurs the line betw een "fantasy and reality vio­

lence" for too many young people, the president said.

"I know this stu ff sells," C lin to n ex h o rted H ollyw ood from a 
lectern in the Rose G arden. "But the time has come to show some 
restraint, even if it has a short-term im pact on the bottom line."

The $1 m illion, 18-month review by the Justice D epartm ent and 
Federal Trade C om m ission is the latest initiative from a president 
grasping for solutions to an increasingly deadly spate of shootings in
the n atio n 's schools. H aving

Clinton said federal investi­
gators will "stu d y the extent 
to w h ic h th e v id e o gam e, 
m usic and m ovie m arkets do 
a c tu a lly m a rk e t vio len ce to

of die University administration, the Board of Regents or the 
Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees.

Right now, a military campaign is slowly dev­
astating a wide area. Civilians are being forced to 
live in horrible conditions and have been ruth­
lessly harassed by a regime with a blatant disre­
gard for human life. In is campaign is forcing a 
large population, chiefly made up of one ethnic 
group, to abandon their homes and flee for their 
lives. These refugees leave their country with lit­
tle hope that they will ever be able to rebuild 
their lives.

If you believe that this passage describes the 
tactics of Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, 
you're right. If you think that it describes the 
campaign led by the United States that ostensibly 
aims to stop Milosevic, you're also right.

The Geneva convention, to which the United 
States is a signatory nation, specifically prohibits 
"acts committed with the intent to destroy, in 
whole or in part, a national, racial, or religious 
group." The Geneva Convention also declares 
that it is a war crime to "attack civilian targets or 
to destroy or render useless objects indispensable 
to the survival of the civilian population." Milo­
sevic is undoubtedly guilty of these crimes, and 
the international courts at the Hague have taken 
the appropriate step of declaring him a war crim­
inal. But is Milosevic the only one doing wrong 
here?

NATO bombing raids have had a bad habit of 
hitting civilian targets in the very areas they're

supposed to be helping. The destruction of elec­
tricity plants and relay stations has disrupted 
such necessities of m odem life as sewage treat­
ment and medical care. The repetition of such 
incidents makes it hard to believe they aren't 
deliberate.

However, some may make the argument that 
we are only doing this to stop a ruthless dictator 
who is doing far worse things to his own people. 
The United States and its allies are thus once 
more cast as heroes. But this defense begins to fall 
flat after a while. After all, two wrongs hardly 
make a right — if we're the good guys, we should 
act like it instead of preaching peace (to the world 
and to our students, as Clinton did after the Lit­
tleton tragedy) while pursuing a foreign policy of 
bombing or starving our opponents to the peace 
table.

Unfortunately, this policy is hardly new. Since 
World War II, we've bombed dozens of countries 
we haven't liked. In every case, our actions failed 
to produce anything even remotely resembling a 
democratic government that respected human 
rights. But then, how can we expect other nations 
to respect human rights and international peace

agreements when we refuse to do so ourselves?

After all, we refuse to go along with the 
nuclear test ban and land mine ban treaties. Fur­
thermore, in the vain hope that we can force 
nations to behave themselves, we tend to isolate 
and strangle countries who don't play by our 
rules. This is our policy towards Cuba and Iraq, 
for instance, even though the people of these 
nations have no say in their government and the 
leaders in question show no signs of leaving.

Finally, we refuse to support the U.N — we are 
over one billion dollars behind in our dues pay­
ments — because it might enact policies that we 
don't like. But there's a certain logic to U.S wari­
ness of a strong United Nations — after all the 
times the United States has bullied other nations, 
we have good reason to fear other nations wanti­
ng some payback! But what's $1 billion dollars 
between friends? Despite its reservations, the 
United States still continues to seek U.N support 
for its actions.

The United States has consistently declared 
itself a defender of democracy and human rights 
but has consistently failed to live up to its 
rhetoric. Until we drop our double standard and 
play by our own rules, there's no way we can rea­
sonably expect to keep more Milosevics and Sad­
dam Husseins from appearing.

-Vith the legislative session over, Governor George W. Bush announced 
ns yesterday to intensify his still unannounced campaign for the presi- 
ncy. He will be traveling the country for speaking engagements and 
tdraisers in an attempt to see if "the support is out there." One almost 
nders why he would bother, when his current strategy of hanging out 
Austin and saying little has already garnered him the endorsement of 16 
vemors and more than half of Republicans in Congress. He also has over 
i million in campaign cash and poll numbers that snow him beating like- 
rdemocratic nominee A1 Gore by a margin of 5a percent to 40 percent, 
t is doubtful that the governor would have those numbers it were not for 
pedigree. Let's face it, name recognition still goes a long way.

For once, Dan Quayle had a good point when he called the endorsement 
Bush by the Republican establishment a "rush to judgm ent." Indeed, 
len 45 percent of those polled can't name one accomplishment of Bush's, 
1 many voters still confuse him with his father, the anointment of Bush 

te next leader of the free world seems a b t premature, 
ush might make a great president, but a resume as short as his should

>r the amount of national attention supp asedly focused on our state, 
ia coverage of the Bush "cam paign" has b -en long on stories about poll 
ibers and how nice the governor seems, ?ut short on substance. The

consider getting behind the 
After Sept. 1, it would be especially wise to 
wheel after that second Mexican martini. T1 
,'s the date that legislation 
lowering the legal blood alcohol limit from . J to .08 percent takes effect. 
This new law is not anti-alcohol, nor is it u; reasonably harsh; it simply 
expands the state's ability to crack down on hose reckless enough to get 
blitzed and then try to drive home.

Texans adore their beer, but this love affair comes at a shameful cost: the 
state's 1,748 alcohol-related deaths in 1997 led the nation. While few law­
makers dispute Texans' rights to enjoy a cold Shiner Bock with their 
friends, statistics bear out the reality that too many partiers hit the state's 
roadways after a night out.

Clearly, the time had come for lawmakers to crack down on those who 
frivolously endanger other people's lives. Th s new law will make Texas 
streets safer.

Is this just another case where the state legi- ature wanted to take a sym­
bolic, altruistic stand on a "vice" issue? It would be very easy to dismiss this 
as just another "message" piece of legislation without any tangible reason­
ing or ultimate effect. But it is not. In fact, studies show that alcohol impair­
ment actually begins around the 0.05 to .08 blood alcohol level. A National 
Highway Traffic Safety Administration study found that if the .08 limit had 
been in force in every state in 1997, it would have saved 590 lives.

Naturally, the alcohol lobby is screaming bloody murder. The American 
Beverage Institute bemoans the fact that the .08 limit would make it illegal 
for a 120-pound woman to drive after drinking two glasses of wine over 
two hours. But if impairment begins at .08 — and ample evidence suggests 
that it does indeed — then this hypothetical woman simply shouldn't be 
driving. Period.

Hopefully, this law will benefit Texans most by forcing more would-be 
drunken drivers to hail a cab or just stumble home by foot. For those who 
still wish to strike a balance between a couple drinks and the ability to 
legally drive, the difference between the .10 and .08 percent amounts to 
about one less drink in an hour. But daredevils beware: Jail sucks.

Got anything interesting to say? The Daily Texan is now hiring editori­
al columnists for the summer session. W e're looking for fresh, original 
commentary on a variety of subjects; if you feel like you can bring new, 
interesting opinions to Page 4, then we invite you to come see us and sub­
mit an application.

Specifically, we'd like to hire versatile columnists who will write on 
subjects of particular interest to our University readership. We general­
ly prefer a focus on local and University topics. We don't w ant retreads 
of tired national political debates, nor do we want hacks regurgitating the 
old party line on a controversial issue. Bottom Line: Be original. We like 
that.

Working at the Texan is a significant time commitment. Texan colum­
nists often spend hours researching and interviewing for each piece they 
submit. The pay is meager, and they get lots of hell from both friends 
and total strangers alike, yet something keeps them coming back.

Hint: It s certainly not the constant, glowing approval o f a readership o f thou­

sands.

Working at the Texan will help you grow intellectually and profession­
ally in countless ways. It's worth the all hell you go through, and then
some.

More than anything, we want people who like to think. We're looking 
fo r writers who dabble in politics, not politicians 
: ho dabble in writing. If you 
have anything to add to the great intellectua debate, then we want you.
You can reach us at 232-2212 or by e-mail it texan@w ww .utexas.edu.

As the summer session starts, freshmen are 
beginning to descend on campus. Upperclass­
men know that the smallest of things make a 
big difference in your college experience. As a 
gesture of Longhorn goodwill, the time-hon­
ored secrets to surviving your first year of col­
lege are revealed below.

• Wear your backpack with two straps, not 

one.

This is one of the dividing lines between high 
school seniors and college freshmen; it's not 
nerdy anymore to use two straps. You'll find 
that it really is much more comfortable, just like 
the Computer Club guys said.

• Do not take self-paced classes. Period.
It sounds like a good idea at the time. After 
all you're a responsible college student now, 
but the number of students who have been 
scarred for life by the memory of self-paced 
astronomy could fill Royal-Memorial Stadium. 
Unless you are the kind of person who gets a 
kick out of doing homework on the weekends, 
forget it.

• Cops love to bust freshmen on 6th Street.
It is a felony to have an altered Texas driver's 
license, and the TABC means business. It is only 
a misdemeanor to use someone else's Texas ID; 
but beware because cops abound on 6th Street. 
Unless your fake is really good and you have 
the attitude to back it up, you might spend the 
night in jail. Happy clubbing.

• Go to football games, but drink before-

hand — not during.

UTPD will be at the games, just waiting for 
innocent freshmen to wander in with flasks in 
plain view. Have a tailgate party beforehand 
and abandon the game-day flask before you get 
to the stadium. Well, except for the Texas-Okla- 
homa game, of course.

• Wear flip flops in the shower.
Do you really want to know what other peo­
ple do in dorm showers? Protect yourself; prac­
tice safe bathing.

before.

It's a sad fact of college life that professors 
like to assign 12 books to buy. What you should 
realize is that you will not need some of those 
books. If you wait until you get a syllabus 
before to make your trek to the Co-Op, it will 
save you some money. It will also save you 
time because the bookstores will be less crowd­
ed.

• Do not try to get in to Cain & Abel's if you 

are not rea lly 21.

If you do try, prepare to be asked to leave. 
Also, prepare to have all the drunk people 
inside the fence laugh at you. Loudly.

sors play. It will be on the test. If you want a 
good grade, read it.

• Always take a free meal or T-shirt.
The free T-shirt usually entails applying for a 
credit card, so come up with a good fake name 
and address to put on these applications. This 
way you get clothes and your credit history 
stays intact. As for the free meal — in college, 
food goes quickly — get there early.

• Go meet your professors.
This tactic has magically changed many C's 
to B's (or A's). Make sure that they know your 
name and face early on in the semester.

• Do not walk alone after dark.
This isn't Kansas anymore. Austin is a big 

• You can always wait for parking tickets to 

be billed to your parents.

This is one of the fine things about going to a 
large university. Any possible charges that you 
have — Health Center, parking, Computation 
Center — can be sent to your parents or paid 
before you pay your tuition. Since all checks are 
payable to UT Austin, they never even have to 
know.

• Get a friend who is 21.
He or she will come in handy. Just realize 
that you will have to return the favor when you 
turn 21.

• Do not expect money back for textbooks.
Pay $51.95, get back two bucks. Get used to it.
• Watch your drink at parties.
Just because he has a cute smile doesn't mean 
that he's a nice guy. Unopened beer is fine, but 
only take mixed drinks from people who you 
know really well. Also, always take a friend 
and watch out for each other.
• Get a friend with a car.
Public transportation is not nearly as fun as it 

looks.

• Do not get more than one credit card.
As any senior who is $20,000 in debt can tell 
you, it's not worth it. You will inevitably max 
them out and have to pay them off. Collection 
agents are vicious and will make you wish you 
were never introduced to the plastic wonder­
land that is Mastercard.

Florida regents face 
notification debate

Plan would report students’ alcohol violations to parents

he said.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A propos­
al made at the University of Florida 
Board of Regents meeting last week 
would require state schools to noti­
fy p aren ts w hen UF stud ents are 
issu ed u n d erag e d rin k in g v io la ­
tions.

State university system Chancel­
lor Adam Herbert said the 14-mem­
ber panel that controls the universi­
ty system will investigate the legali­
ty of im plementing the policy. The 
ch an g e co u ld be v o ted on in the 
board's September meeting.

A similar policy was approved by 
the M assachusetts Board of Higher 
Education earlier this year, but UF 
P resid en t Jo h n L om bard i said he 
th in k s su ch n o tific a tio n ru le s 
require universities to overstep their 
boundaries.

"E v e ry o n e is co n cern e d abo u t 
[underage drinking], but our goal is 
to recognize students as adults as 
m uch as possible and m ake them 
responsible for their own behavior,"

Lombardi acknowledged the dif­
ficulty in cu rbing alcohol-related 
problems, however.

"N o one likes supervision, but no 
o n e lik e s the re s u lts o f a lc o h o l 
o v erin d u lg en ce," he said. "W e 're 
caught between two unhappy loca­
tions."

Though colleges and universities 
must adhere to the Buckley Amend­
m ent, a law that m akes students' 
judicial records private from even 
th e ir p aren ts, sch o o ls m ust also 
consider the concept of in loco paren­
tis — an in s titu tio n 's p a re n ta l 
responsibilities in lieu of parental 
presence.

UF D ean of Students Julie Sina, 
who suspended two UF fraternities 
recently for alcohol and other con­
duct violations, said she has mixed 
feelings about the effectiveness of 
such a policy.

"W hen you come to college, you 
are adults, and we prefer to treat 
you that way," Sina said. "H opeful­

ly p a re n ts w ou ld w an t to g et 
involved, but many may not."

Sina added that if the policy were 
enacted, the board would need help 
from the legislature to implement it.
Kevin Mayeux, executive director 
of the Florida Student Association 
and former UF student body presi­
dent, said the notification proposal 
may open the door to lawsuits from 
parents.

"Their plan leads to the liability 
of u niversities," he said. "It's not 
the right way to address [the prob­
lem]."

M ay eu x said th e FSA w ou ld 
oppose any measure that involved 
contacting students' parents. How­
ev e r, he ad d ed th a t th e g ro u p 
would be willing to work with the 
board on a substance and alcohol 
abuse education program.

"I'd like to see what other schools 

have adopted," he said.

Northwestern student fasts to protest US sanctions on Iraq

University Wire

EVANSTON, 111. — Brad Simpson 

is hungry for justice.

The Northwestern University stu­
dent began fasting May 23 in oppo­
s itio n 
to S e c r e ta r y o f S ta te 
Madeleine Albright's support of the 
U.S. and U.N. econom ic sanctions 
on Iraq, which have been in effect 
since the 1991 Persian G ulf War.

Sim p so n , an A m erican h isto ry 
graduate student, said he wants to 
inform students about U.S. policy in 
the Middle East.

"T h e re are p e rso n a l g o a ls and 
there are goals for the cam pus," he 
said. "I want to try to raise aw are­
ness about the sanctions."

S im p so n h a s tr a v e le d to Ira q 
tw ice in violation of the sanctions

and said he chose to go on a hunger 
strike to emphasize the hunger and 
hardships that Iraqis must endure.

"I'm trying to take som e action 
w h ich is co m m en su rate w ith the 
suffering in Iraq," he explained.

S im p so n ad d ed that he a n tic i­
pates being joined next week in vig­
ils by members of various campus 
groups, including Peace Project, the 
M uslim Students A ssociation and 
S tu d e n ts O p p o sin g S a n c tio n s 
Against the People of Iraq.

Marcus Banks, a member of SOS, 
said he and other students plan to 
su p p o rt Sim pson and his p rotest 
next week by participating in soli­
darity fasts — where they will not 
eat for 24 hours.

"T h e id ea is th a t the fast as a 
whole will focus the campus on the

policy in Iraq," said Banks, a Wein­
berg senior. "W e're hoping that it 
will grow."

O rganizers of the protests said 
on e of the p rim a ry g o a ls o f the 
strike and of SOS is to give students 
an opportunity to show their oppo­
sition in a nonviolent way.

"Part of what we at SOS are doing 
is trying to hold out an alternative 
action to violence for our foreign 
policy," Simpson said.

Simpson said he hopes the strike 
will gain visibility during the next 
two weeks.

The students also hope to bring 
a tte n tio n to th e ir ca u se w hen 
A lbright delivers N orth w estern 's 
commencement address on June 18.

Simpson and other students said 
they are planning to stage demon­

strations during Albright's speech.

"I am hoping that the university 
itself would take the opportunity of 
M a d e le in e A lb r ig h t's v isit 
to 
express its own concerns and rejec­
tion of the foreign policy," Simpson 
said.

N orthw estern P resid en t H enry 
Bienen said p rotestin g A lb rig h t's 
appearance is a "silly th in g" and 
that "you can't find any secretary of 
sta te w ho w ill m ak e e v e ry o n e 
happy with his or her policies."

Simpson, who plans to consume

only w ater and electrolyte liquids 

during his fast, said the duration of 

the fast will depend on how long he 

can keep his energy level high.

Texas’ first couple 
honor young artists

Christopher Johnson
Daily Texan Staff

Gov. George W. Bush and Texas 
first lady Laura Bush honored 12 
Texas student artists with a cere­
mony Tuesday at the state Capitol. 
Each student's artwork was chosen 
for display in the governor's busi­
ness office.

Mrs. Bush picked the 12 original 
pieces from more than 100 works 
that w ere first exhibited during 
March as part of National Youth 
Art Month. The pieces are submit­
ted annually by Texas public and 
private schools for display in the 
Capitol extension's gallery.

The B ushs g reeted each artist 
and their family, then posed for 
p h o to g rap h s in front of the a rt­
work.

" M i l l i o n s o f p e o p le v is it the 
Texas Capitol every year, and I'm 
glad they have a chance to see the 
student art that is on display here 
year-round," Mrs. Bush said in a

statement.

She added that it is important to 

foster creativity in young people.

"Children thrive when they are 
given a creative outlet for express­
ing their feelings — when they are 
encouraged to share their experi­
ences with others throu gh their 
talents," she said.

The Capitol Exhibit, which has 
been an annual event for 37 years, 
is sponsored by the Texas Art Edu­
cation Association and the Texas 
Education Agency.

Jeann e Rollins, the d irector of 
fine arts at the Texas Ed ucation 
Agency, said Mrs. Bush deserves 
c red it for brin g in g m o re pu b lic 
a t t e n t io n to the ta l e n t s of the 
young artists.

"Mrs. Bush was the first one to 
begin choosing students' artwork 
for the governor's business office," 
Rollins said. "They're honoring the 
cr itica l and creativ e a b ilitie s of 
kids today."

Of the works Mrs. Bush selected,

two were created by Austin-area 
students, 8-year-old Angel Escobe­
do of Davis Elementary School in 
Austin and 10-year-old Jessica Rat­
tan of Live Oak Elementary School 
in R o u n d R ock. B o th s t u d e n t s 
were accompanied by their fami­
lies and several school teachers.

A n g e l's work, The R oy al Lion, 
illu strates a co lo rfu l lio n 's face 
wi th w h isk e rs m a d e o f a co rn - 
h u s k - li k e m a t e r ia l. H e said he 
w a n ts to be an a r t is t w h e n he 
grows up.

"I do art a b o u t th ree tim e s a 
w e e k , s o m e t im e s at h o m e , " he 
said.

Jessica's Harvest Moon, shows an 
impressive tree with wiry limbs in 
front of a yellow moon and rolling 
h ills . J e s s i c a said sh e e n jo y e d 
m e etin g the g o v e rn o r and Mrs. 
Bush.

"It was pretty co o l," she said, 
w h ile her m o th e r P a m R a tta n 
proudly displayed the autograph 
Jessica received from the governor.

Gov. George W. Bush and Randall Fuller, a student of Coronado High School in Lubbock discuss Fuller's collage self-portrait in 
the governor's business office. Fuller's artwork w a s one of 12 pieces chosen by first lady Laura Bush from w orks featured in 
the Texas Youth Art Capitol Exhibition. The artwork w ill decorate the governor's office for one year.

Murderer, rapist becomes Texas’ 13th execution this year

A ssociated P ress

HUNTSVILLE — A ninth-grade 
dropout who worked as a roofer 
was executed Tu esd ay night for 
the rape, stabbing and strangling 
of a Liberty County woman more 
than 15 years ago.

W illia m H a m ilt o n L ittle , 38,

1983 murder of 23-year-old Mari­

area n ea r C l e v e l a n d , a b o u t 30 
miles northeast of Houston.

Five of Peter's friends and rela­
tives w a tc h e d th r o u g h a death 
chamber window as he was put to 
death.

"Although we feel that nothing 
can justify the loss of our loved 
one, we are grateful in knowing

cases the death penalty 
is made for.”

that William Little will never be 
able to kill and destroy an o th er 
innocent life," her family said in a 
prepared statement.

Little was pronounced dead at 
6:20 p.m., eight minutes after the 
lethal d ose beg an flow ing, o f f i­

 

cials said.

The inmate had no formal final 
sta te m e n t, bu t told p ris o n o f f i ­
c i a ls b e f o r e

administered that he d idn't want 
to cause any problems.

" I ' v e b e e n j e a l o u s o f p e o p l e

said.

After declining to m ak e a fo r ­

to o k a c o u p l e o f d e e p

The U .S. S u p r e m e C o u r t tw o 
weeks ago refused to review his 
case, u pholding rulings of other 
fe d e ra l co u rts and c l e a r in g the 
way for the lethal in je ctio n , the 
13th of the year in Texas.

fo u n d l a t e r in th e d a y by tw o 
workmen who were supposed to 
in s t a ll a c l o t h e s d r y e r at h er

The workmen entered after they 
spotted blood on a door jamb and 
heard a child crying. Inside they 
discovered the victim's 2-year-old 
son on a k i t c h e n c o u n t e r . T h e

Peter's ravaged body was on the 
floor in the living room.

"It was a very gory situation," 
Liberty County District Attorney 
Mike Little, who prosecuted the

case, said Tuesday. "N o question 
in my mind, I think this is one of 
th e c a s e s th e d e a t h p e n a l t y is

" C e r t a in l y in my o p inio n and

the death penalty and he deserves

is not related to the prisoner.

Austin fans go ‘Crazy’ for Seal

people briefs

Grammy award-winner fills Backyard with amplified humanism

Kat Johnson
Daily Texan Staff

The Backyárd was filled to capac­
ity Monday night as an eager audi­
ence awaited the arrival of Gram­
my a w a r d - w i n n e r Seal. Seal 
brought his tour to Austin to pro­
mote his new album Human Being.

When the artist finally took the 
stage, d ressed in a sim ple black 
b u tto n -d o w n shirt and jeans, he 
was met with roars of excitement. 
Although the singer and songwriter 
has enjoyed international fame for 
years, he seemed genuinely appre­
ciative of the applause.

Before the show began, he took a 
m o m e n t to a d d re s s the crow d . 
"W e've come here tonight to spread 
a message of love and harmony," 
he said. "A n d at the end of the 
night I want you to tell me how it 
feels."

Seal o p en e d with " T h e B e g in ­
n i n g ," a so n g from h is d e b u t 
album. Multi-colored strobe lights 
enhanced the high energy on stage. 
T h e m o stly y u p p ie and m id d le- 
aged a u d ien ce went wild, rising 
from their seats and singing along 
with the lyrics.

Seal then began to play several 
songs from his new album, includ­
ing a b eau tiful slow song called 
" L o s t My F a it h ." As the so n g 
e n d e d , S e a l c o m m e n te d , 
" O f 
cou rse, we never really lose our 
faith, do we? We can't afford to lose 
our faith — if we lose that, there's 
nothing left."

The mood of the show changed 
from m o m en t to m om ent as Seal 
and his band followed sweet love 
s o n g s w ith fa ste r d a n ce b ea ts. 
Although Seal danced all over the 
stage during the faster songs with 
an admirable amount of energy, he 
w as at his best w hen the tem po 
slowed down. Standing still under 
the lights, he filled the venue with 
his voice, sending shivers of em o­
tion through the crowd. Among his 
best numbers were "Deep Water," 
in which Seal played acoustic gui­
tar, and the Grammy-winning "Kiss 
From a Rose."

Throughout the night, Seal often 
s p o k e to the a u d ie n c e , m o stly 
addressing social issues like racism. 
At one point, he said, "Peace and 
love — two words you would think 
were so easy. Peace, love and racial

" O b v io u sly , I am not going

H U M A N BEING: Seal brought his ethereal sounds to Austin M onday night before a crowd of mostly older fans.

h a rm o n y . T he tim es they are a- 
ch a n g in '. T h o se old tu nes d o n 't 
work anymore, baby. We're gonna 
be in deep shit if we d o n 't wake 
up."

Later, he remarked, "There's a lot 
of love in here tonight. It doesn't 
matter what size, shape or color, 
w e're all just loving each other. I 
wish you could stand up here and

see how great you really look."

Seal's occasional outbursts gave 
the larg e sho w a m ore in tim a te 
feel. At times, the performer also 
reached down to grasp audience 
members' hands. His fans seemed 
tr u ly e n c h a n te d by h im , and 
waved their lighters in the air at 
e v e r y o p p o r t u n i t y . The s h o w 's 
energy helped the crowd withstand 
the heat, which was intense. Seal, 
who hails from England, seemed 
especially affected by the weather. 
" Is it a lw a y s th is hot h e r e ? " he 
asked. Not that he was complain­
in g — he c la im e d that the h e a t 
m a d e him w a n t to d a n ce e v e n 
more.

When Seal went off-stage after 
an h o u r and a h a lf, the cr o w d 
began clapping and whistling. It 
only took about a minute before he 
ca m e b a c k for an e n c o re . He

stopped for a moment to intr®duce 
his ensemble of six: keyboardist, 
drummer, guitarist, bassist, and 
tw o b ack u p v o c a lis ts . The k e y ­
boardist, Dave Sancious, stood out 
particularly throughout the night, 
ev^n earning w histles from Seal 
himself.

Seal played two so ngs for the 
encore. He finished the night with 
" C r a z y ," his b es t-k n o w n single. 
Before he left the stage, he referred 
to his openin g rem arks. "P eac e, 
love and h arm o ny do w o rk ," he 
said. "But put it this way, it's a lot 
of work."

Although playing to a mostly white 
audience, Seal's message of racial har­
mony was touching. His message, like 
his music, has always attempted to 
reach audiences both imaginatively 
and emotionally. For Seal's fans, it is a 
winning combination.

Longhorn Horoscopes

Aries (Mat 21-Apt 19): Your mind 
may be open to new ideas, but your 
body language is blocking you from 
achieving your goals. Stand like you 
mean what you say.

Taurus (Apt 20-May 20): You say 
there is nothing to celebrate? Look 
around you. If you enjoy even the 
smallest bite of food or a simple stroll 
across campus, you may find that life 
never ceases to amaze the observer.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Though 
your erotic sensibilities seem a little 
inhibited right now, you may find 
you can let loose through a little 
planning. Though it is contradictory 
to plan spontaneity, doing so can 
offer a little organized fun.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Distrac­
tions with unusual possibilities may 
have you falling a little off target. It is 
best to stick to the basics right now. 
Be a straight arrow for a while. You'll 
have your time to let loose.

Leo ¡July 23-Aug. 22): You have fall­
en behind on your promises, Leo. It 
is time to make good on that to-do 
list you have been meaning to get to. 
Don't let people think you're a liar or 
unreliable.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept 22): The small­
est mistake right now can cost you 
greatly. Make sure you recheck 
everything you can. If something 
does go wrong, make sure you have 
a solid backup plan.

Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22): Losing 
weight is nothing you need to be 
concerned about. If you just take a 
brisk walk or a simple moment to 
unwind, you are doing plenty. Don't 
bog yourself down with the shallow 
things in life. You look marvelous.

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov. 21): The foun­
dations of your life are shifting right 
now and you are caught in a big 
crack. If you need time to find a sta­
ble point, take it. Seek advice from a

Capricorn to help you out.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are
going to experience many positive 
things in the next week. Start your 
happiness now and don’t let your 
opportunities pass you by.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Release 
your attachments to unhealthy ele­
ments in your life. If you are not 
objective enough, find a Cancer or 
Aries to give you perspective.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Lots of 
water is good for the soul. You are an 
Aquarius after all. Focus on bringing 
the water balance back to your body.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mat 20): Details may 
unnecessarily clog your progress. 
Filter your tasks in big chunks and 
don't worry about the itsy-bitsy 
things.

USELESS BRIEFS

SPARKS, Nev. — A sealed letter 
mailed 57 years ago from a soldier to 
a woman in New York C ity has 
piqued 
the curiosity of Sparks 
Middle School students. Still, they 
won't open it.

History teacher Bernard Lund 
bought the letter at an antique paper 
show, and at the time was only inter­
ested in the ink stamps on the enve­
lope. He didn't realize there was an 
unopened letter inside.

"It's a piece of history," Lund said 
Sunday. "It's a piece of love. We 
don't know exactly what it is."

The letter was sent during World 
War II by Bill Barnes, who served in 
the 71st Infantry out of Fort Lewis, 
Wash., to Lenore Pelka in Staten 
Island.

Lund says at first his students 
wanted to open the letter. But that 
impulse quickly waned when discus­
sion turned to how that would vio­
late the privacy of the sender and 
receiver.

"I tried to present this as a moral 
question to the kids," Lund said. 
"The curiosity about it is tremen­
dous."

Was it a love letter? A marriage 

proposal? Only Barnes knows.
"I think we should 

it 
closed," said David White, an eighth 
grader. For now, Lund has agreed.

PERRYSBU RG , Ohio — It's taken 
more than 15 years — and the help of 
five people — but Larry Shepard Jr. 
has his high school ring back.

The Perrysburg High School grad­
uate, who now lives in Westerville, 
lost the ring in the early 1980s while 
a business student in Texas.

An unidentified man with a metal

detector found it and gave it to a 
friend's grandson. That boy turned it 
over to another friend, Jose Arroyo, 
an eighth-grader in Pasadena, Texas.
Arroyo's teacher, Jennifer, Land, 
who had lost her own ring, suggest­
ed he try to find the owner.
Ms. Land found Perrysburg High 
School's home page on the Internet 
and sent e-mail with a description of 
the ring.

The Perrysburg band director 
looked up his roster of students who 
graduated 
in 1980 and called 
Shepard's parents, Carol and Larry, 
Sr., who moved back to Perrysburg 
from Texas 10 years ago.

"It showed a little initiative on 
everybody's part," Mrs. Shepard 
said.

Larry Shepard Jr. got it back on 
Sunday. "I was just really, really flab­
bergasted," he said.

A SH W A U BEN O N , Wis. — A 10- 
year-old girl hunting through a box 
of rummage-sale books discovered 
that one volume wasn't a book at all 
— it was a keepsake box containing 
$500 in cash.

"It looked like a book but wasn't," 
Kristin Steel recalled Sunday. Inside 
was an envelope. "I almost threw it 
away. Then I saw green."

As she counted out the five $100 
bills, "m y heart was beating fast," 
she said. "I ran upstairs and gave the 
envelope to my mom."

She had accompanied their father, 
firefighter Jordan Steel, to a weekend 
rummage sale where he bought the 
box of 25 Reader's Digest books for 
$5.

The box sat in the garage until 
Kristin made her discovery last

Thursday.

Kristin promptly returned the 

$500, receiving $20 as a reward.

" I was so in shock I couldn't 
believe it," said Karen Legault, who 
had hosted the rummage sale. The 
books were her mother's, and the 
misplaced money "was incredibly 
needed," she said.

M IA M I — Wondering what ever 
happened to that old Jacuzzi you 
dumped by the beach?

Try checking with the Center for 
Marine Conservation, which has 
completed its tally of the items its 
volunteers found last year during a 
cleanup on Florida's coastlines.

Among the most unusual: two 
Jacuzzis, a baby carriage filled with 
pornographic books, keys from the 
Department of Corrections, three 
kitchen sinks and the top to a wed­
ding cake.

Also picked up were 41,813 glass 
beverage bottles; 243,424 cigarette 
butts; 25,135 foam cups; 8,607 pieces 
of clothing; 2,969 six-pack holders, 
and 1,263 condoms.

"W hat we're finding on the beach­
es is a reflection of our everyday lives 
and the stuff we dispose of in the 
solid waste stream," said Em ily 
Morgan, director of citizen outreach 
and monitoring at the Washington, 
D.C.-based center, which coordinates 
the annual cleanup.

"Every single piece was in some­
one's hand and improperly disposed 
of," Morgan said.

down Knicks

Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Tweet went 
the whistle, swish went Reggie 
Miller, down went the Knicks.

On a night when 40 fouls were 
called against New York, the last one 
allowed Miller to beat the Knicks 
from the free throw line.

Miller made two free throws with 
two seconds left and Patrick Ewing 
barely missed a turnaround jumper 
at the buzzer, allowing the Indiana 
Pacers to escape with an 88-86 victo­
ry Tuesday night in a thrilling Game 
2 that evened the Eastern Confer­
ence finals.

"We're very fortunate to be in this

position, but I'm happy with the 
way we gutted it out," Miller said.
No one ever said it was going to be 
easy, and we're going to have our 
hands full, but we feel very good 
about ourselves."

There were 68 fouls and 84 free 
throws in all, and the Pacers could­
n't have asked for a better candidate 
to attempt the final two.

Miller, the league's leading free 
throw shooter at 91.5 percent, faked 
Chris Childs into the air and was 
bumped as he shot a jumper, send­
ing him to the line for Indiana's 46th 
and 47th attempts of the night. He 
calmly made both.

"I just put my hands up, he leaned

in. Terrible call," Childs said. "This 
is a game for the people, the fans 
and the players — and it w asn't that 
tonight."

Indiana got the victory despite 
blowing a 17-point lead and losing 
its starting center to fouls with more 
than six minutes left. Most impres­
sively, they overcame an inspired 
performance from a Knicks team 
that was undeterred by all the 
adversity that came its way — 
everything from the referees' whis­
tles to the Pacers' fans throwing beer 
and coins at them.

Game 3 in the best-of-7 series will be 

Saturday at Madison Square Garden.

Mark Jackson rebounded from a

sub-par Game 1 and led the Pacers 
with 17 points, while Miller had 16, 
Dale Davis 15 and Jalen Rose 13.

The Pacers forced 20 turnovers 
and held the Knicks scoreless for 
two crucial stretches — a four- 
minute span when Indiana burned a 
78-72 deficit into an 81-78 fead, and 
an ensuing two-minute stretch that 
ended with the Pacers ahead 84-80.

Larry Johnson scored 22 points to 
lead New York before fouling out 
with 4:58 left. Childs and Chris Dud­
ley also fouled out, while Marcus 
Camby finished with five fouls and 
Ewing, Charlie Ward and Kurt 
Thomas had four apiece.

"Just how it goes, I guess," said

Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy, who 
pondered his answer for at iqast 30
seconds, sinking his head into his 
hand and sighing.

The Pacers were ahead 84-80 as the 
clock ticked inside two minutes, but 
Ewing hit a jumper, Antonio Davis 
missed a jumper and Camby tapped 
in a miss to tie it with 1:23 left.

Rose committed an offensive foul 
on Indiana's next possession, Ewing 
made two free throws with 45 sec­
onds left and Antonio Davis scored 
inside with 31 seconds left after a 
questionable blocking foul against 
Camby to tie it 86-all. He missed a 
free throw for a three-point play and 
the lead.

Rocket grabs 20th 
straight victory

■ NEW YORK — Roger 
Clemens showed the Cleveland 
Indians the one thing they're 
missing.

Clemens won his 20th straight 
decision — four short of the 
major league record — holding 
baseball's best lineup in check 
and leading the New York Yan­
kees over Cleveland 11-5 Tues­
day night.

Clemens (5-0) has not lost in 30 
starts since May 29, 1998, when 
he fell to Cleveland while pitch­
ing for Toronto.

is 

The winning streak 

the 
longest ever in the AL, and tied 
with Rube Marquard for the 
third best in major league history. 
Carl Hubbell set the overall 
record in 1936-37 and Roy Face 
won 22 straight in 1958-59.

While Clemens wasn't domi­
nating Tuesday night, he was 
effective enough, giving up three 
runs in 6 
innings. He allowed 
seven hits to an Indians team that 
is averaging 6.7 runs per game.

Cavs coach gets 
surprise pink slip

■ CLEVELAND — The Cleve­
land Cavaliers fired head coach 
Mike Fratello on Tuesday, and 
general manager Wayne Émbry 
stepped aside to be replaced by 
Jim Paxson, the team's vice pres­
ident of basketball operations.

Cavaliers owner Gordon Gund 
said he told Fratello of his deci­
sion earlier Tuesday, nearly a 
month after the team ended an 
injury-plagued 22-28 season.

"Sometimes from a coaching 
standpoint, teams need to go in 
a new direction, to be re-ener- 
gized by new leadership on the 
floor, Gund said. "We believe 
that is true with respect to the 
Cavs."

During Fratello's tenure the 
Cavs compiled a 248-212 record, 
although the team disappointed 
fans with a defensive style some 
considered boring.

Under Fratello, the Cavs made 
the playoffs four of his six years 
but failed to advance past the 
first round.

Dome booked for 
possible Spurs date
■ SAN ANTONIO — A Baptist 
youth convention planned in the 
Alam odom e June 25-26 could 
conflict with a San Antonio Spurs 
home game should the team 
make the NBA finals.

The convention is expected to 
draw 15,000 to 20,000 young peo­
ple to the dome on a Fridav and 
Saturday eyed as potential game 
dates 
in the finals, KSAT-TV 
reported Tuesday.

Spurs executives have been 
negotiating with all parties 
involved to try to work out a 
compromise.

"It has to get solved in at least 
the next week to two weeks. We 
don't have much time beyond 
th at," said Russ Bookbinder, 
Spurs vice president of business 
operations.

San Antonio leads the Portland 
Trail Blazers 2-0 in the best-of-7 
Western Conference finals.

Stars force 
game seven

Belfour shuts down flurry 
of shots to keep team alive

Associated Press

DENVER — The Dallas Stars aren't finished yet.
The NHL's top-seeded playoff team made sure there 
would be a Game 7 in the Western Conference finals, forc­
ing a one-game showdown in Dallas with a 4-1 victory 
over the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night.

Jamie Langenbrunner scored two goals in the final 20 
minutes as the Stars, playing more like the team that won 
the Presidents' Trophy with the best 
record in the NHL, pulled away in 
the third period.

Game 7 will be Friday night in Dal­
las, where the Stars are 6-2 in the 
playoffs — with both losses coming in this series. Col­
orado is 3-6 at home but 8-1 on the road.

The winner will advance to face the Eastern Confer­

ence champion Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup finals.

"We feel good because we get an extra day's rest," Stars 
coach Ken Hitchcock said. "We've played good in our 
building all year.

"We've always performed well in adverse situations. 

* * 

* __ a . * * - Jt, m• jr

Now, it's a level playing field."

Hitchcock didn t think his team was nervous while fac­

ing elimination Tuesday night.

"We kept things in control," he said. "We just wanted 

to get our organized game back on our feet again."

With the score tied at 1, the third period took on a sud- 
den-death atmosphere, and the Stars applied the pressure 
when Langenbrunner poked home a rebound on Joe 
Nieuwendyk's shot from the slot at 6:49.

It was Langenbrunner's seventh goal of the playoffs 
and the fifth game-winning goal in his postseason career.
"Neither team has given up — every shift, every game," 

he said. Ht's been a great battle by both teams.

Agassi storms to 
semifinal round

Associated Press

PARIS — The ever-changing Andre 
Agassi has a new look every match: a 
goatee at the start of the French Open, 
clean-shaven for the second round, a 
full beard by the quarterfinals.

What hasn't changed is the sweet 
rhythm he's found in his game, except 
perhaps to get better and better, and 
on Tuesday he rode that beat into the 
semis.

It was hardly the most thrilling vic­
tory of the day — that belonged to 
five-time champion Steffi Graf in her 
6-1, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3 quarterfinal victory 
over No. 2 Lindsay Davenport — but 
it was certainly the most dominant.

Two years ago, Agassi considered 
retirement. Two weeks ago, he almost 
pulled out of the French Open.

Now he stands within two victories 
of what he calls "the greatest thing I 
could achieve — winning a Grand 
Slam title that has escaped the grasp of 
his rival, Pete Sampras, and that 
defied the likes of Jimmy Connors and 
John McEnroe.

Agassi barely broke a sweat as he

mercifully put injured qualifier Marce­
lo Filippini of Uruguay out of his mis­
ery 6-2,6-2,6-0 in 72 minutes.

Playing his most punishing tennis 
yet this tournament, Agassi yielded 
only four points in the first four games, 
nine points in the whole third set.

"He killed me on the court," said 
Filippini, who hadn't lost a set in the 
first four rounds. "I had no chance. It's 
not nice to get booed on center court."
Filippini, ranked No. 140, said a 
strained abdominal muscle limited his 
serving motion and hurt him on every 
backhand. But he admitted that even if 
he were well Agassi probably still 
would have destroyed him.

Agassi, who last reached the French 
semis seven years ago, isn't likely to 
have it so easy in his next match 
against Dominik Hrbaty, a blithe 21- 
year-old Slovakian who beat him in 
the Lipton Championships in March.

Hrbaty has claimed two big scalps 
so far in the French: No. 1 Yevgeny 
Kafelnikov, the 1996 champion, in 
straight sets in the second round, and 
former No. 1 Marcelo Rios in four sets 
in the quarters.

Rangers rally past KC

Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Another 
night, another come-from-behind 
victory for the Texas Rangers.

Mark McLemore singled to key 

beat 

three-run rally in the 
eighth inning, and the 
Rangers 
the 
Kansas City Royals 3- 
1 Tuesday night for 
their eighth straight 
victory.

The Rangers' winning streak 
is
their longest since 1989. Kansas City 
lost its fourth in a row.

Texas won in its final at bat for the 
fourth straight time. Overall, the 
Rangers have won eight times in 
their last at-bat this season and have 
come from behind to win 14 times.

"We've got a club that doesn't give 
up," said McLemore. "Every night 
itf s somebody different. It's not just 
one guy. That's what you have to do 
if you want a championship caliber 
team."

The Royals bullpen, which strug­
gled in Monday night's 10-inning, 4- 
3 loss to the Rangers, faltered again.
Reliever Matt Whisenant (1-1)

issued a leadoff walk to Lee Stevens 
and then hit Jon Shave and pinch-hit- 
ter Roberto Kelly with pitches, load­
ing the bases with no outs.

Terry Mathews, the fourth Royals 
pitcher, gave up a 
to 
McLemore that made it 2-1. Rusty 
Greer followed with an RBI single.

single 

Stevens hit a three-run homer in 
the ninth inning Monday night to tie 
the game. But Rangers manager 
Johnny Oates said Stevens' walk in 
the eighth Tuesday night also was 
important.

"It shows what problems a base 

on balls can cause," Oates said.

The Royals, 1-7 in their current 
road trip, have 11 blown saves in 19 
opportunities this season.

Royals manager Tony Muser 
wants to see a harder edge from his 
relievers.

"I think different personalities 
react in different ways," he said. 
"Sometimes people relax and don't 
know how hard the game is. They 
don't improve. The moment you 
relax, this game will bite you. I think 
that is happening now to a couple 
guys in the bullpen."

Reliever Jeff Zimmerman (5-0) 
threw a perfect eighth and John Wet- 
teland pitched the ninth for his major 
league leading 17th save.

Texas' Ivan Rodriguez extended 
his hitting streak to a career-high 20 
games, four short of the club record 
set by Mickey Rivers in 1980.

Royals starter Jay Witasick limited 
Texas' powerful lineup to four hits in 
six innings. He struck out four and 
walked three.

Kansas City broke up a scoreless 
game in the fifth against Texas starter 
Rick Helling when Chad Kreuter 
drew a one-out walk and scored on 
Steve Scarsone's two-out double.

Helling gave up three hits in seven 
innings, struck out two and walked 
three.

Six times during the eight-game 
winning streak a Rangers starter has 
pitched into the seventh inning.

"It all starts with starting pitch­
ing," Oates said. "That's what it 
takes to put a streak together. These 
eight games have been low scoring 
and the pitching has been very 
good."

Astros not phased by rain, Brewers

Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Sean Bergman held off 
the Milwaukee Brewers and the weather 
man to preserve his first shutout in four sea­
sons.

Bergman pitched a rain-shortened six-hit­
Mil-

ter and the Houston Astros defeated 
waukee 
3-0 
Tuesday night 
in a game called 
in 
the eighth 
inning.
Tim 

Bogar 

doubled home two runs as the Astros 
snapped a four-game losing streak.

"I tried not to pay attention to it," 
Bergman said of the weather. "I just wanted 
to get through the innings. I probably 
rushed a little bit with two outs in the sev­
enth to try and get the last out and got of my 
game plan a little bit. I was able to come 
back and make a pitch and get a ground ball

to end the inning."

Houston had the bases loaded with one 
out in the eighth when play was stopped. 
The game was called after a wait of one 
hour, 12 minutes.

To tell you the truth, I was happy to get 
the three runs," said Houston manager 
Larry Dierker, whose club scored 12 runs 
during its four-game losing streak.

We ve been in the doldrums offensively, 
but I think a lot of it had to do with good 
pitching and we saw good pitching again 
tonight," he said.

Bergman (3-1) struck out one and walked 
two for his first victory since May 11 after 
three no-decisions.

Bergman s only other shutout came on 
Aug. 2, 1995, when he pitched Detroit over 
Boston 4-0. It was his first NL shutout in 60 
starts.

Scott Karl (5-4) allowed just one hit 
through the first six innings. He gave up

three runs in the seventh for his third con­
secutive loss.

"I tried my best to keep the game close," 
Karl said. "I tip my hat to Bergman. He 
threw some great pitches and kept us at bay. 
He just did a litde better job than I did."

Houston, which had managed just a dou­
ble by Derek Bell with one out the fourth, 
broke loose once it began raining.

Jeff Bagwell singled to open the seventh 
and Carl Everett singled with one out. Tony 
Eusebio walked to load the bases, Russ 
Johnson followed with a sacrifice fly and 
Bogar doubled off the glove of left fielder 
Geoff Jenkins.

"I thought he was going to catch it," 
Bogar said. "When I first hit it, I thought it 
was over his head for sure, but as I kept 
glancing out there, I saw him jump for it. I 
thought he caught it. It would have been a 
great play, but fortunately*it worked out for 
us."
