Organizations, officials disagree over UThate policies

Associated Press

Hate crimes are acts committed primarily 
because of a person's bias or prejudice 
against the victim, according to the Texas 
Legislature Web site.

The bill was sponsored by Sen. Edward 
Kennedy, D-Mass., and Sen. Gordon Smith, 
R-Ore.

"Hate crimes are modem day lynchings," 
said Kennedy. "They tear at the heart and 
soul of our country."

As the U.S. Senate passed stronger hate 
crime legislation Tuescfey, som e UT organi­
zations say a stronger policy is needed at 
the University.

However, UT officials said current rules 
are sufficient to cover any gro unds of 
harassm ent, regardless of m otivation.

U nder current UT policy, students w ho 
report harassm ent m ust m eet with their 
harasser and a m ediator — the director of

the UT M ulticultural Center. If an act is 
m otivated by race, ethnicity, color or 
national origin, intent w'ill be treated as the 
"aggravating factor" in determ ining the 
appropriate penalty.

The new bill, the Local Law Enforcement 
Enhancem ent Act of 2000, increases the 
punishm ent for crim es in which the victim 
wras singled out because of 
race, sex, 
national origin, color, sexual orientation or 
disability.

U nder the H ate C rim e Statistics Act 
enacted in 1990, a hate crime is defined as

an act directed tow ard an individual on the 
basis of their race, religion, sexual orienta­
tion, disability or ethnicity.

Brenda Burt, d irector of 

Student groups are upset because there is 
not a strong p unishm ent for harassm ent 
based on prejudices at the university level.

needs stronger rules like those at other u n i­

D ep artm ent of Public Safety spokesper­

"A t the G overnor M ansion that ro ad ­

"You can protest." he added. "It's a

V inger

the protesters w ere

area until som eone needed to leave the 
building. A t that point, they refused to

"They w ere very resistant," he said. 
"They locked arms and sat down. Traffic

The developm ent of the Web site

Mayor Kirk W atson said the

"The University of Texas itself

Bi-partisan agreement achieved

paigning in Kentucky to cast the decid­
ing vote in case of a tie, if needed. 
Although he presided over the meeting, 
his vote was not necessary.

Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., who 
requested Gore's presence, said he 
expected the race to be close, which is 
why he invited the vice president.

President Clinton attempted to per­
suade several senators who were unde­
cided on the bill earlier in the day.

More 

than enough Republicans

joined the Democrats in approving the 
bill, making it a bi-partisan agreement.

"This year America needs action — 
no one should be victimized because of 
how they look, how they worship or 
who they are," Clinton said in a state­
ment. "W e need to work together as 
partners and as a national community to 
fight crimes fueled by hate."

Elizabeth Birch, executive director of 
the Human Rights Campaign, a nation­
al political organization that lobbies for 
lesbian and gay rights, said the bill will 
bring the country one step closer to 
becom ing a 
for all 
Americans.

safer place 

'W e are pleased the bill's passage 
came one week after the tw o-year 
anniversary' of the murder of James 
Byrd Jr.," Birch said. 'W e hope the mem­
ory of people like James Byrd Jr. and 
Matthew Shepard will move the House 
to action, so they can leave legacies of 
helping 
in 
America."

to end hate violence 

James Byrd Jr., 49, was tied to the back 
of a pick-up truck and dragged to death 
by three white men June 7, 1998, in 
Jasper. The 
same year, M atthew 
Shepard, a 21-year-old homosexual stu­
dent at the University of Wyoming died 
after being beaten into a coma and tied

to a fence. Neither state had a hate crime 
statute.

Clinton appealed for Senate passage.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, 

the 
Judiciary chairman, proposed an alter­
native to Kennedy's bill which would, 
set up an annual $5-million fund at the 
Justice Department to help state and 
local authorities investigate and prose­
cute state crimes.

Hatch said Kennedy's measures were 
too broad and that under the bill every 
rape prosecution could be a hate crime 
and prosecuted in federal courts.

The bill awaits passage by the U.S. 
House of Representatives later this year.

"T h ere is nothing here to back stu­

"S tu d e n ts

thing."

K evin Price, associate d ean of stu ­

However, he said there is no need

A ccording to a 1997 report issued 
by 
the U .S. G eneral A cco u n tin g 
Office, m any colleges do not accu­
rately report hate crim e incidents.

The U T police departm ent has no 

hate crim es on record.

Burt said this is because victim s 
do not report the incident out o f fear 
or because the student does not trust 
the adm inistration and police.

However, the U niversity has had 
problem s w ith racist groups in the 
past.

In A p ril, a w hite su p rem acy 
group, the N ational Alliance, distrib­
uted racist fliers on cam pus that stat­

Stu d ents held rallies protesting 
the fliers and sent a letter to the 
U niversity criticizing its response, 
which condem ned the m essage of 
the fliers but took no specific action 
against the national organization.

"If we d on 't take a stance then stu­
dents may feel that the U niversity is 
su p p ortin g th at a c t," said D oug 
Gerrad, assistant director of H ousing 
and Food Services.

Gerrad added that the departm ent 
provides a pam phlet to the resident 
advisors at the U n iv ersity's d orm ito­
ries on dealing with incidents such 
as the neo-N azi fliers.

"I d o n 't think students have m uch

to find jo bs in Austin them selves."

Florida said the low local unem ­

Christians, Muslims clash in Indonesia
160 die in 
gun battle

Hadi said there w'ere only about 30 sol­
diers on duty in the village and they were 
unable to stop the violence until the mili­
tary reinforcements arrived.

people have been killed on the Maluku 
islands, also known as the Moluccas — or, 
during Dutch colonial times, as the Spice 
Islands.

"It w as a m assacre by M uslim s," said 
Father Hadi, a Protestant clergyman, based 
in the nearby town of Tobelo.

surrounding countryside.

Christians and 
Muslims clash

Local Muslim groups were not immedi­

By The Associated Press

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Muslim fight­
ers attacked a Christian village on a remote 
island in eastern Indonesia Tuesday, leav­
ing at least 116 people dead in what 
Christians called a massacre.

Police said 108 Christians and eight 
M uslim s died in the fighting M onday in 
the village of Duma, on Halm ahera Island 
about 1,600 miles northeast of Jakarta.

Unconfirmed claims by church workers 
said as many as 160 people, including 152 
Christians and eight Muslims, were killed, 
making the carnage one of the w orst inci­
dents on record in a long-running sectarian 
conflict in the Maluku islands.

The Muslim fighters were armed with 
military-style weapons, police said, as well 
as bows and arrows. Christian residents 
fought back with homemade guns or fled 
into a forest. The clash lasted for about one 
hour, they said.

The official Antara news agency said 150 
people were wounded and 292 homes and 
a church were burned.

It was the latest outbreak in an 18-month 
religious feud in w'hich more than 2,500

Sartje W asapapuling, an official at the 
Evangelical Christian Church in Tobelo, 
cited local clergy as saying the Christian 
death toll wras 152.

She said there were fears for the safety of 
some Christian women and children who 
had been taken aw'ay by Muslims.

Maj. Puguh, an army officer based in the 
North Maluku provincial capital, Ternate, 
said soldiers and marines dispersed the 
warring gangs, Antara reported. However, 
the situation on Halmahera remained tense 
Tuesday.

Wounded victims had been evacuated to 
Tobelo, about 21 miles north of Duma, said 
Puguh, who like many Indonesians uses 
only one name. At least two soldiers had 
been w ounded, witnesses said.

Hadi said fleeing villagers from Duma 
had told him that about 500 Muslim fight­
ers in black and white uniforms descended 
upon their homes.

"It w as a very quick attack. They had 
automatic rifles, but the Christians only 
had hom emade w eapons," he said.

Hadi said about 1,000 mainly Christians 
live permanently in Duma, but its popula­
tion during recent weeks swelled by 2,000

Earlier this month, Pope John Paul II 
urged Indonesia's leaders to do more to 
stop the carnage.

About 90 percent of Indonesia's 210 mil­
lion people are Muslim, m aking it the 
w orld's most populous Islamic nation

Christians, however, are a majority in the 
M aluku islands, which had been renowmed 
for its religious tolerance before sectarian 
violence broke out in January 1999.

Some blame the conflict on economic 
and social pressure from an increasing 
numbers of Muslim settlers from other 
parts of the sprawling Southeast Asian 
nation.

Several months ago an Islamic group, 
calling itself Laskar Jihad, or "Holy War 
Force," w as accused of sending over 2,000 
Islamic paramilitary troops into Maluku.

that maybe this is a little 
overkill," said Paul Jacks, 
the state's deputy' director 
of disaster assistance.

FEMA officials say the 
effort is needed to improve 
accounting for money that 
is distributed quickly in 
the aftermath of catastro­
phes to ensure that victim­
ized communities get the 
help they need.

"I don't think a very 
high percentage of local 
governments and states 
knowingly try to rip off 
the disaster program ," 
said FEMA Director James 
Lee Witt. "I think there are 
mistakes made at different 
times."

FEMA's public assis­
tance funds are presided 
to state and local govern­
ment agencies and non­
profit organizations 
to 
help rebuild communities 
after disasters.

If auditors find money 
was paid contrary to fed­
eral law or FEMA regula­
tions, the agency demands 
refunds

repayment 
amounts can be drastically 
reduced during negotia­

debts owed by local com­
munities.

Report: France provides best health care, U.S. spends most

By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The United States spends more 
per person on health care than any other country, yet 
in overall quality its care ranks 37th in the world, said 
a World Health Organization report to be published 
Wednesday. France, it concluded, provides the globe's 
best health care.

Italy ranked No. 2, says the World Health Report, 
being published Wednesday — a highly contentious 
first attempt to compare the world's health systems.

Tiny countries with few patients to care for — San 
Marino, Andorra, Malta — crowd onto the World 
Health Organization's surprising best list. Singapqre, 
Spain, Oman, Austria and Japan round out the top 10.
That doesn't mean the French and Italians are the 
world's healthiest people. Japan actually won that dis­
tinction.

Instead, the WHO report basically measures bang 
for the buck: comparing a population's health with 
how' effectively governments spend their money on 
health, how' well the public health system prevents ill­
ness instead of just treating it and how' fairly the poor, 
minorities and other special populations are treated.

When each country's measurements were added 
together, even study co-author Christopher Murray, a 
Harvard health economist and the health organiza­
tion's chief of health policy evidence, was surprised. 
He had expected Scandinavian countries or Canada to

be the w'orld's best, because they're always presented 
as models.

Instead, Norway hit No. 11, Canada 30.
Britain, with its much-debated free national health 

service, came in 18th.

The report sparked immediate controversy.
"Any set of rankings that puts Finland at 31 and 
Italy at 2, or even France at No. 1, raises questions," 
said Nick Bosanquet, health policy professor at 
London University's Imperial College, noting that 
previous studies have been highly critical of Italv.

"They are obviously getting an olive oil effect," he 

added, referring to the famed Mediterranean diet.

Italians themselves have expressed dissatisfaction 
with health care, said a surprised E. Richard Brown, 
director of the University of California, Los Angeles, 
Center for Health Policy Research.

Ibs long been clear "the U.S. is w'oefully lacking," 
Brown said. Proof, he said, is in the 40 million unin­
sured Americans amid a patchw'ork of different qual­
ity pnvate insurance and government programs.

While good at expensive, heroic care, Americans are 
very poor at the low-cost preventive care that keeps 
Europeans healthy, said Pnnceton University health 
economist Uwe Reinhardt. Take prenatal care, vital to 
a healthy start in life — Reinhardt called France the 
world's role model, while many poor Americans 
never get prenatal care.

The most doesn’t mean the best
A study of world health systems has found that the United States spends the 
most per person but ranked 37th for quality of service. Here are the top

Taiwan’s Chen invites China to summit, China restates position

By The Associated Press

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan's new president 
said Tuesday that he has hung a photo in his 
study of North and South Korean leaders 
shaking hands — and that he wants Taiwan 
and China to do the same thing.

In one of the strongest of his many appeals 
to Beijing, President Chen Shui-bian said at his 
first news conference since taking office one 
month ago that now is a great time for the two 
sides to end their 51-vear standoff.

"If North and South Korea can do it, w'hy 
not Taiwan and China?" asked Chen, referring 
to last w'eek's three-day summit in the North 
Korean capital of Pyongyang.

Like Taiw'an and China, the Koreas split five 
decades ago amid civil wrar. And like the rivals 
in the Taiwan Strait, one is communist while 
the other is democratic and capitalist. All four 
are well-aimed and a conflict could quickly 
involve the United States .

Until the Pyongyang Summit, Korean lead­

ers had never met. Now, only Taiwan and 
China have that distinction — and Tuesday 
Chen seized the new' development to pressure 
Chinese President Jiang Zemin to sit down 
with him.

"Is it possible for us to join hands and 
together create a scenario like North and South 
Korea," he said at the new's conference in a 
presidential garden — an event modeled after 
media gatherings in the Rose Garden of the 
U.S. White House.

Hours after his news conference, China 
repeated its long-standing demand that before 
any summit is held, Chen must accept that 
Taiwan is an inseparable part of China.

Most of the 23 million Taiwanese oppose the 
one-Chma principle, fearing that accepting it 
w'ould mean acknowledging that the repres­
sive government in Beipng was the main ruler 
of the country. Taiwanese enpy freedoms and 
a much higher standard of living than most 
people in China.

WASHINGTON —
Years after coming to the

rescue of victims 
California earthquakes to 
Pennsylvania blizzards, the 
governm ent 
demanded 
nearly 500 million dollars 
back from states and local 
communities, 
federal 
records show.

The Federal Emergency 
M anagem ent 
Agency 
insisted on the refunds after 
auditors found the aid was­
n't deserved. In some cases, 
the w'ork w as not complet­
ed as promised or the recip­
ients got paid twice — by 
the government and insur­
ers.

The sheriff's office 
New' Orleans had to return 
$56,000 it charged for flood

review by The

California was required 
to repay $1.4 million from a 
wildfire

And a former Florida 
parks official was indicted 
after authorities couldn't

The investigation continues.

Federal judge sends Microsoft 
case to Supreme Court

WASHINGTON — A federal judge sent the 
Microsoft antitrust case directly to the Supreme 
Court, saying a quick resolution of the landmark 
legal battle w as of “general public importance."

But U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson 
also gave Microsoft a victory, agreeing to the com­
pany s plea that he delay the part of his June 7 order 
imposing restrictions on its business practices. The 
earlier order had automatically stayed the breakup 
of the company into two parts, pending all appeals.
The nation's highest court, in the last week to 10 
days of its 1999-2000 term, can either accept the case 
or turn it back to the appeals court for review.

Unless the justices expedite their handling of the 
case — an action that government lawyers may 
seek — Microsoft will have until Aug. 12 to file an 
appeal from Jackson's ruling.

rhat appeal would ask the justices to send the 
case to the appeals court. The government then 
would have 30 days to respond and explain why 
they think the case should be decided directly by 
the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, Justice Department lawyers pre­
sumably could ask the Supreme Court to allow the 
restrictions on Microsoft business practices to take 
effect.

Another arrest in truck deaths 
as details of journey emerge

LONDON — Police arrested a second suspect 
in the deaths of 58 Chinese illegal immigrants when 
a Chinese refugee came forward Tuesday to say his 
cousin called repeatedly during a four-month 
odyssey from China through Russia and into 
Western Europe and was almost certainly among 
the dead.

The immigrants were found dead late Sunday at 
the English port of Dover, apparently suffocated in 
the back of an unventilated truck on the disastrous 
final leg of their trip.

The Dutch driver of the truck was detained and 
interrogated in Dover and held on suspicion of 
manslaughter, and on Tuesday, Dutch authorities 
announced the second arrest in Rotterdam 

Police did not release the suspect's name and 
refused to say if the suspect was the man they had 
been pursuing — Dutch engineer Arie Van der 
Spek, 24, who owned the company that leased the 
truck. Police said earlier that Van der Spek, regis­
tered the company, Van der Spek Transporten, on 
June 15. He vanished before police showed up at 
his Rotterdam apartment Monday.

In Canterbury, the only two survivors remained 
under police guard Tuesday, traumatized bv their 
futile struggle to escape the truck.

The survivors are key to tracing the smugglers 
who organized the hellish journey across the 
English Channel from Belgium.

Police hoped the two men would soon be fit 

enough for formal questioning.

Barak and Shas both say they 
can offer each other no more

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Ehud Barak 
shifted the spotlight back to the religious Shas part}' 
Tuesday by saying he has made Shas a final offer 
aimed at keeping the party from bolting his frac­
tious coalition.

Barak's offer came just hours after four Shas 
members of the Israeli Cabinet resigned in an effort 
to press Barak to release mpre state funds for Shas 
schools and legalize pirate radio stations affiliated 
with the party.

The crisis has seriously weakened Barak and 
undermined his efforts to conclude a peace deal 
with the Palestinians by the year's end.

Barak said Tuesday he had met "90 percent" of 
the demands of the religious party, and that he has 
done all he can.

For Barak to continue governing without Shas 
would likely require a minority government sup­
ported from the outside by Arab legislators.

The dispute centers on Shas' demand that their 
nemesis, Education Minister Yossi Sarid, release $6 
million in funds to their ailing religious school sys­
tem. Sarid, an ardent secularist, refuses to do so 
until Shas demonstrates that the funds will not be 
mismanaged. In 16 years of the party's existence, 
Shas-run ministries have been plagued with 
reports of incompetence and corruption.

Protestant group threatens 
Northern Ireland peace

BELFAST, Northern Ireland — In a new threat 
to Northern Ireland's tenuous peace, the province's 
largest pro-Bntish paramilitary group, the Ulster 
Freedom Fighters, threatened Tuesday to break its 
cease-fire, accusing Catholic groups of attacking 
Protestant homes.

The outlawed UFF, whose October 1994 cease­
fire w as vital to the negotiation of the province's 
peace accord two years ago, said Roman Catholic 
nationalist groups are conducting a campaign of 
intimidation against Protestants in two areas of 
Belfast.

It threatened to break the cease-fire as of mid­
night. From that time, it said, the Ulster Freedom 
Fighters "reserves the right to shoot any person 
seen to be attacking Protestant homes."

The Ulster Freedom Fighters has more than 2,000 
members in working-class Protestant neighbor­
hoods. Its threat comes more than six weeks after 
the lnsh Republican Army — the largest pro- 
Catholic outlawed paramilitary group — made a 
historic commitment to begin disarming.

The IRA's move allowed the British government 
to return some self-governing powers to Northern 
Ireland's Protestant-Catholic administration, which 
is trying to establish itself as a viable local govern­
ment after 28 years of direct mle from Britain.

T h e Board o f R egents approved the h ealth-care p rem i­

June 18 ,1 9 8 5

The UT campus is currency going through many 
changes as it continues to expand Most students 
can't walk from one class to another without having 
to avoid at least one construction site. However, the 
current growth pales in comparison to the expan­
sion of the campus in the 1970s and 1980s. lb accom­
modate for the rapid influx of students, campus offi­
cials had to plan for the present and the future by 
adding new buildings and modifying existing ones.
The summer of 1985 was extremely busy as the 
campus was undergoing a facelift So much con­
struction was taking place that some residents 
labeled the cram the new state bird of Texas.

The projects in Are summer of 1985 included a 
new Chemical/Petroleum Engineering Building a 
chilling station at 26th Street (now DeanKeeton) and 
Speedway, T.U. Taylor Hall a power plant on E. 24th 
Street, a football training facility at the south end of 
Memorial Stadium (now Daryl K Royal Memorial 
Stadium), a multilevel parking facility behind 
Sim kins Hall, a tenrus center at 18th and Trinity 
the Business-Administration and 
streets, and 
Economics Building.

Welcome to the neighborhood

Monty Markland
Daily Texan Columnist

State officials, w ith the blessing of state Sen. 
G onzalo Barrientos, relocated 39 sex offend ers to 
the Travis House halfw ay facility at 405 W. 18th 
street last week.

The move exhibits reckless disregard for the 
safety of hundreds of children attending the half- 
dozen elem entary schools w ithin a m inute's walk, 
and for the large num ber of UT stud ents living in 
the area.

The placem ent of sex offenders at Travis House 
also raises serious questions about planning and 
research w ithin the Texas D epartm ent of C rim inal 
Ju stice. Not only is the halfw ay facility w ithin 
striking distance of a half-dozen schools, it is also 
one door down from The Dog & D uck Pub.

Stenn ett Posey, public inform ation o fficer for the 
P aro le D ivisio n of the Texas D ep artm en t of 
C rim inal Justice, told The D aily Texan on M onday 
that "[Sex offendersl activities w ill be lim ited to 
pre-approved, selected activities such as seeking 
em ploym ent, abuse counseling, church and psy­
cholog ical counseling for sex o ffend ing."

P erhaps that list can now include having a quick 
beer at the local neighborhood bar in preparation 
for a little sex offending.

A halfw ay house is supposed to help crim inals 
rein tegrate into society. Such a facility should 
have significan t levels of security and op erate like 
jai 1-lite, en su rin g that v io len t p aro lees are 
a 
unable to prey upon local residents.

But according to one resident of Travis H ouse — 
w ho served time for a non-sexual offense — secu­
rity is lax.

"S ecu rity is a jo k e ," the resident said. 

"P lu s, 
Travis H ouse is a coed facility. 
It d oesn 't make 
any sense to place guys with a know n history of 
[expletive deleted] w ith women in an environ­
m ent w here w om en are."

Em ployees of C aten a's H air Stu d io,

th roat," one said.

Thank goodness.
Even m ore jaw -d ropping, accord ing to local res­
idents and bu siness ow ners, no one ev e r notified 
them th at sex offend ers, som e of w hom are v io ­
lent, w ere m oving in next door. N or has any notice 
from state o fficials arrived since the crim in als took 
up residence.

M arcia H y att, d ire cto r of The St. M a rtin 's 
L utheran School w here 200 children ages three 
through nine attend class ju st two blocks aw ay 
from th e facility , fou nd out abou t 
the m ove 
through the local media.

"It's like w e're in p rison now ," H yatt said. "W e 

have to up our secu rity."

To ex acerb ate the problem , The St. M artin's 
School is currently u nd ergoing renovation, and 
constru ction w orkers m illing about the building 
m akes m on ito rin g access much more d ifficu lt.

With such ease of entry, it seem s hig h ly likely 
that a sex offend er could gain access in the guise 
o f a laborer. As for the tracking an klets that Posey 
seem s so sure of, there are dozen s o f instances 
around the state of inm ates slip p ing or disarm ing 
their tracking devices.

In ad dition, the classroom s are underground, 
w here, as H yatt points out, it is v irtu ally im p ossi­
ble to g et a signal for a cell phone.

State parole au th o rities point out th at none of 
the seven schools and ch ild -care facilities in the 
area are w ithin the state prescribed 500-foot child 
safety zone. How ever, all of the ch ild -care facili­
ties are w ithin a h alf-m ile of 21 con victed child 
m o lesto rs — som e of w hom have a propensity 
tow ards violence.

H yatt sent a letter to state Sen. B arrien tos last 

w eek, b u t his office has yet to get back to her.

Barrien tos told The D aily Texan on M onday that 
placing the offend ers in Travis H ouse is the lesser 
o f two evils.

Not by much. U nlesss you con sid er that a lot of 
the p eop le living near the halfw ay house are stu ­
dents. From that perspective, relo catin g a gang of 
sexual m iscrean ts to a stud ent p opu lated area is 
d efinetly the lesser of tw o evils for B arrien to s — 
esp ecially since those stud ents d o n 't vote.

Insight on Bush

Thank you, Mr. Bartlett, for your 
penetrating and insightful letter. It 
seems that Mr. Bush is indeed a frat- 
boy crackhead. Let us examine his 
ridiculous 
to 
revamp the dying public education by 
giving an opportunity to parents the 
right to choose schools for their chil­
dren. Indeed a laughable goal.

ideas. Bush w ants 

Bush wants to have a smaller scale 
privatized Social Security. How could 
anyone dare to devise a way to save a 
system that is going to bust? Then 
Bush proposed a m issile shield for the 
U.S., unilaterally if need be. A grand 
project that is ultim ately useless, I am 
sure.

Mr. G ore's reaction? He seems to 
only have one mantra: "It's too risky." 
Then he continues to cling on the 
eight-year success, which was started 
under George Bush, not Bill Clinton.

Consider, for exam ple, that public

two eyew itnesses who have claimed

conservative, Pro-Bush, new spaper 
like the Austin American-Statesman.

Public officials, like John Cornyn, 
(who, incidentally, w as shredded on 
Nightline last night over precisely this 
issue) have plenty of opportunity to 
tell their story. Ordinary citizens don't. 
When UT students put their bodies in 
harm 's way (and remember, the D PS 
officers were brutal; we who awaited 
our friends' release down at central 
booking saw a lot of bruises) you 
should make sure to explain all the

School prayer

O ne assumes that Attorney General 
Cornyn is playing the role o f zealous 
advocate w hen he says the majority 
opinion in Santa Fe ISD vs. Doe — 
w hich held student-led prayers at 
football games are unconstitutional — 
"distorts precedent" and "bristles with 
hostility to all things religious in pub­
lic life." Both claims are false, as any 
non-partisan 
legal observer w ould 
conclude.

Indeed, the only remarkable thing 
in this case is that three Justices d is­
sented. The E stablish m ent C lause 
precedent is d ear in this case, and the 
dissent would have been m ore candid 
if it simply called for the overruling o f 
that precedent, rather than pretending 
there was am biguity in its application 
here. It is notable too that even the d is­
senters adm it that the Santa Fe ISD

policy at issue "m ay be applied in an 
unconstitutional m anner" and thus it 
m ight be necessary at a later date to 
"invalidate it if that is found to be the 
case." They dispute only the m ajori­
is an 
ty 's finding that the policy 
unconstitutional violation as written.

M ore pernicious is the charge of 
"hostility to all things religious in pub­
lic life." The First Am endm ent is, to be 
sure, hostile to state-sponsored im po­
sitions of religion in public life, which 
is w hat was at issue here. A t the sam e 
time, the First Amendment safeguards 
all kinds of religious expression in p ri­
vate and public life from state and 
m ajoritarian interference. That fact 
may explain why UT law professor 
D ouglas L aycock w as the prim ary 
author of the brief challenging Santa 
Fe's policy and w hy he w as also the 
prim ary author several yeras ago of 
the R eligiou s Freedom R estoration 
Act. Hostility to religion has nothing 
to do with this case; protection of reli­
gious liberty for all does.

Ibarra meets 
local officials
Discussion centers on 
improving Austin

By Jade Floyd
Daily Texan Staff

Mickey Ibarra, director of intergovernm ental affairs for the W hite House 
and assistant to the president, joined regional elected officials Tuesday to 
discuss economic developm ent issues that burden Austin and other U.S. 
cities.

Speaking at the Austin Convention Center on issues ranging from m ini­
m um wage increases to m odernizing Texas schools, Ibarra stressed the 
importance of taking local issues into account at the national level. He cited 
child care as an im portant issue locally, and encouraged officials to put more 
effort into seeking federal monies for the program.

Ibarra has acted as the president's principal liaison with state and locally- 

elected officials since June 1997.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, w ho introduced Ibarra, praised him as an 
im portant factor in allowing Austin a better view into the workings of the 
federal government. Watson said he invited Ibarra to speak to give city offi­
cials insight into President Bill Clinton's proposed economic benefits.

He also said the Austin City Council and those from other cities should 

work to support Clinton's policies and issues regarding education.

Clinton, he said, is attem pting to invest more federal money in public 
schools to build and m odernize buildings nationwide, which are an average 
of 43 years old.

Councilman Danny Thomas, w ho attended the event, said he hoped 
Ibarra w ould focus on jobs, affordable homes and health care. Ibarra, how ­
ever, spoke only on one of Thomas' key issues — m inim um wage.

Thomas said the information Ibarra presented at the discussion will help 

the council improve the lives of constituents.

"I hope to get information that will be beneficial to help people in the com­
m unity because I will look at what they have m apped out in different areas, 
such as unem ploym ent, new jobs and the private sector," Thomas said.

Though there are many concepts the city council representatives would 
like to focus on, most attended the event to hear w hat Ibarra had to say, 
Thomas added.

As the result of Ibarra's suggestions, Watson said he hopes local govern­
m ent officials can now assess the information given, apply it to their districts 
and determ ine how it will benefit the city of Austin as a whole.

Councilm an Daryl Slusher said he was concerned about housing, 

Medicare and child care.

grants," Ibarra said.

"We have to afford more initiative to try to build our pool of child-care 

He stressed that the president received $24 billion less than the am ount he 
requested from Congress for 2001. As a result, he said, city officials should 
focus on a few key issues w hen requesting funding from the government. 
He said this would give the local community a better chance of receiving the 
money.

Lampasas residents Josh Ivie. Byron Wheeler and Justin Bocanegra, left to right, have taken a moment from visiting a friend at Seton hospital to cheer up 
motorists. Alternating signs from “We aren’t bums” to “We love Jesus," the group gets favorable honks and waves from the passing motorists.

Bush breaks $90 mil campaign fund mark

Grim tales of deaths open trial

By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Gov. George W. Bush 
broke through the $90 million fund-raising 
mark last month, but has less than $1 million 
a week to spend through the Republican 
National Convention in early August. Vice 
President A1 Gore wilj be able to spend 
about the same amount each week.

Bush reported Tuesday that he had $7.1 
million in his campaign account at the end of 
May. He raised $650,000 so far this month, 
and has another fundraiser scheduled 
Friday in Alabama.

Gore reported a bank account balance of 
$8.3 million. He also expects $1.3 million 
in federal matching funds. The 
more 
Democratic Party convention is Aug. 14-17, 
less than two weeks after the Republican 
meeting July 31-Aug. 3, and Gore's money 
must last until then.

Following the national conventions, each 
candidate will receive $67.6 million in feder­
al funds for the general election and cannot 
raise any more money except to cover legal 
and accounting costs.

In h is monthly filing with the Federal 
Tits t; n Commission, Bush reported raising 
$6 million in Ma>r— 10 tunes more than 
Gon — bringing his fund-raising total to 
more than $90 million, twice as much as any

presidential candidate ever. The previous 
fund-raising record was set by 1996 GOP 
nominee Bob Dole, who raised $31.3 million 
and received $13.5 million in federal match­
ing funds for a total of $44.8 million.

Bush received the maximum $5,000 con- 
tnbution from the political action committee 
of CSX Corp., a major railroad company. 
Congress is considering legislation to renew 
the Surface Transportation Board, which reg­
ulates the railroad industry. He received 
$5,000 from the lobbying firm of Gibson, 
Dunn & Crutcher, whose clients include 
defense contractors. Bush has called for 
boosting defense spending.

Bush spent $4.9 million last month, bring­
ing his spending total to $83 million, also a 
new mark for presidential campaigns. More 
than one-fourth of the total $22.4 million 
went to advertising.

Bush, who is not accepting federal funds 
for his campaign, can raise and spend as 
much as he wants. Gore is limited to spend­
ing $40.5 million on his campaign through 
the convention, plus legal and accounting 
costs, because he is accepting federal funds.
Gore received $3.3 million in federal fund­
ing last month, bnnging his total to $14 mil­
lion and expects to eventually get more than 
$15 million. Candidates may receive no

more than $16.9 million in matching funds.

The vice president raised just $600,000 last 
month, bringing his fund-raising total close 
to $37 million, excluding the federal funds.

Gore's campaign has spent $10.7 million, 
but reported that only $28 million of the total 
fell under the $40.5 million spending cap. He 
spent $1.3 million last month, with $70,517 
used to reimburse the government for trips 
on Air Force Two and limousines.

Bush's financial disclosure report for 1999 
showed that he had between $6.1 million 
and $12.6 million in U.S. Treasury bonds, 
providing him with between $358,750 and 
$1.1 million in interest; a blind trust of 
between $1 million and $5 million; and two 
money market accounts, valued at between 
$600,000 and $1.3 million.

Bush earned between $500,000 and $1 mil­
lion in capital gains by selling a lakefront 
home in eastern Texas; he now owns a 1,500- 
acre ranch in Crawford, in Central Texas, 
valued at up to $5 million.

He also reported as much as $1 million in 
capital gains from his share of the partner­
ship that formerly owned the Texas Rangers 
baseball team. Bush still holds a share of the 
partnership worth between $500,000 and $1 
million, but the group is being dissolved.

WACO — The first witness in the wrongful death 
lawsuit brought by Branch Davidian survivors and 
family members testified Tuesday that she w as 
unaware of any plans by sect members to ambush 
federal agents as they tried to serve a search warrant 
Feb. 28,1993.

Rita Riddle, who was in the compound during the 
raid but left before the ensuing 51-day siege, said she 
did not know that federal agents would be arriving or 
armed when they pulled up in front of the compound.
When gunfire broke out, she said she and others 
crouched on the floor in a hallway of the building to 
avoid being shot. Riddle testified she did know there 
were guns at the complex.

Four federal lawmen and six Davidians were 
killed during the initial raid. The siege ended April 
19,1993, after FBI agents began a tear-gassing opera­
tion on the rickety building to end the standoff.

Opening statements in the lawsuit began Tuesday 
morning with grim descriptions of the government's 
1993 raid and siege on their compound.

Michael Caddell, lead counsel for the plaintiffs, 
condemned the loss of children who were in the 
compound when fire engulfed it.

The children "never owned a gun. Never fired a 
gun. Never hurt anyone," Caddell repeatedly told 
jurors while showing video stills of some of the chil­
dren, ranging in age from 2-17. The video was shot 
while the children lived at the compound.

The trial is the culmination of years of legal war 
over the deadly event. About 80 people — including 
at least 20 children under the age of 16 as well as 
Davidian leader David Koresh — were killed in the 
fiery siege, some in the fire, others from gunshots.

But U.S. Attorney Mike Bradford told the seven- 
person jury that ATF agents attempting to serve a 
search w'arrant became targets of gunfire. Five 
Davidians were convicted in 1994 of voluntary 
manslaughter in the agents' deaths.

"They were pinned down in a gunfight for their 
lives," Bradford said during opening statements. "One 
thing is clear, the Branch Davidians did set the fire that 
did bum the compound to the ground," he said.

In other testimony, Jaunessa Wendel, who was 8 
years old on the day of the raid, said the compound 
where she and her family once lived was "like a big 
apartment, a community' center." She told jurors her 
mother, Jaydean Wendel, w'as fixing her hair in their 
room when gunfire shattered the window spraying 
glass into her brothers' crib. Jaydean Wendel led her 
children into the hallway and went back into the bed­
room, she said. Jaydean was shot and killed during 
die raid.

Another child living at the compound during the 
siege recalled how her bedroom was nddled with 
bullet holes after the initial raid

"It wras completely destroyed ... all my quilt cover­
ings were full of holes. If I had been sleeping I would 
not be here today," said Natalie Nobrega, now 18.

There is a crime being committed against 
a certain group of people in the church that 
is supposed to be baseball.

Those victims are pitchers.
Major league hurlers are being brutalized 
by tighter strike zones, lower pitching 
mounds and juiced baseballs.

Furthermore, these innocent bystanders 
are being victimized by hitters that are now 
the size of Godzilla thanks to legal training 
drugs that act as steroids, and they are being 
injured by parks that have fences that are 
closer to home plate than your typical little 
league sandlot.

And if those problems weren't enough to 
go on, there are probably 100 more instances 
in which pitchers have reason to file their 
grievances with their league office.

But pitchers might as well take those 
complaints and stick it where the sun don't 
shine. The league offices don't care.

Offices put noses up

On Tuesday afternoon, scientists that 
have been studying the 2000 baseball to see 
if it has caused a dramatic increase in home 
runs found that even though the ball 
remains within the range of specifications 
outlined in the baseball rule book, "some 
balls are livelier at one end of the spectrum 
than the other."

In other words, they're )uiced, but not 
enough to be deemed illegal. And that's just 
fine with the league office.

You see, all that really matters is that the 
balls are under regulation. As long as those 
round objects are deemed that, then it really 
doesn't matter how far they should travel.

The church and institution of baseball is 

safe that way, right?

In factr if there is any extra room to juice 
up the ball and keep it under regulation, 
commissioner Bud Selig and Major League 
Baseball wouldn't have any problem 
adding those extra ingredients.

Never mind that they have already 
added a large, blue Major League Baseball 
logo on the ball that makes it easier to pick 
up because the more advantage the hitter 
has, the better.

Same old, same old

This shouldn't come as a surprise to any­
one because this isn't the first time the 
league has made it blatantly obvious that 
they, like chicks, dig the long ball.
First, there was the strike zone.
Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine were 
methodically killing batters on a daily basis 
by getting umpires to call the outside comer 
of the plate. In fact, the duo got so good at it 
that evái when they were off, umps would 
give them the benefit of the doubt if they 
were close.

But that is no more.
Major League Baseball shrunk the zone 
down in "fairness" to the hitters last season, 
and now, the pair of Braves pitchers are just 
now returning to their old form after read­
justing to the zone.

Then there's the hitters. Everyone from 
Mark McGwire to Damion Easley has used 
androstenedione, and with it the ball is trav­
eling to the stands more than ever.

So far this season, 2,584 homers have left 
the field in 1,011 games, which is an average 
of 2.56 per game. Last season it was a record 
2.27, and in 1997 it was 2.19.

Perhaps the best proof of the amount of 
balls leaving is Eric Karros, who has 20 
home runs this season already. Eric Karros? 
The Dodgers first baseman couldn't carry 
Babe Ruth's jock strap.

But the strike zone, juiced balls and dmgs 
aren't the only reason why hitters are going 
deep more often than ever.

The stadiums are also a big help.
Take Enron Field for instance. The 
Houston Astros' home field has a porch that 
is 315 feet away from home plate. In addi­
tion, it7 s only 346 feet to leave the entire park.
McGwire could send one out of that sta­

dium hitting with a broom stick.

Fans don’t mind

Of course, it's not like baseball officials 
don't have their reasons for looking h e other 
way as the game turns to heavy offense.

Fans love the home run. They love seeing 
the ball leave the yard, and they love it when 
the song from The Natural is played as a 
player trots around the bases. Fans love 
McGwire and Sammy Sosa, not Tony 
Gwyrtn and Mark Grace.

Home run is king, especially where atten­

dance is concerned.

And therein lies the problem.
As the ball leaves more frequently, pitch­
ers are watching as every advantage they 
used to have slips away.

Because of this, hurlers are being forced to 
find other means of action, such as throwing 
inside to start a brawl, or finding that extra 
something in their saliva.

Which is fine. After all, thanks to the 
league's pursuit of offense, the game they 
are now playing isn't really baseball any 
more anyway. The church is lost.

IS THE BALL 
JUICED?
Study shows standards 
alm ost being exceeded

By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The test results are in: 
Baseballs this season are legal — but 
barely.

Balls from this year and the last two 
were tested by Jim Sherw'ood, who runs 
the Baseball Research Center at the 
U niversity of M assachusetts' Lowell 
campus.

Despite the record number of homers 
flying out of parks, the balls wreren't 
found to be "juiced." Even so, balls from 
all three seasons were close to being too 
lively by major league standards.

"The balls today are at the upper end 
of the spectrum," Sandy Alderson, the 
commissioner's executive vice president 
of baseball operations, said Tuesday 
after meeting with Sherw'ood.

"W e know' where we are in the spec­
trum, but how does that relate to five 
years ago, 10 years ago?"

When a baseball is fired at a wall 
made of tw'o-inch thick, northern white 
ash, it is required to rebound at 54.6 per­
cent its ongmal speed, plus or minus 3.2 
percent.

In addition, a ball must hold its shape 
within 0.08 of an inch after being sub­
jected to 65 pounds of pressure.

"There is a range of specifications the 
ball has to fall w ithin," Alderson said. 
"T here is a consistency within that 
range among the balls we've seen from

the last three years. We're looking to see 
if we can find balls to test from further 
back."

There are two problems in testing 
older balls, according to Alderson: find­
ing them and making sure they haven't 
changed since w'hen they wrere made.

Through Monday, there wrere 2,584 
homers in 1,011 games this season, an 
average of 2.56, matching the average 
for April. Last season's final average of 
2.27 set a record, breaking the previous 
mark of 2.19, set in 1996.

There .have been many theories on 
wrhy so many home runs are being hit, 
including smaller ballparks in Houston 
and San Francisco, more players lifting 
w'eights follow ing Mark M cGw ire's 
record 70-homer season in 1998, more 
weak pitchers due to expansions in 1993 
and 1998, and juiced balls.

Rawdings, w'hich has supplied all 
major league balls since 1977, checks to 
make sure each ball wreighs 5.5 ounces 
and has a circumference of 9.9 inches — 
measurement's specified in the Official 
Baseball Rules.

"W hile the ball this year is the same 
it's been in recent years, it's not clear for 
how long it's been that way," Alderson 
said.

The commissioner's office plans to 
release Sherwood's report to the public 
next week, Alderson said.

Mark McGwire set the single-season home run record with 70 in 1998. That mark may not last past this season.

Lakers’ fans get 
rowdy after win

By The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — An outbreak of 
violence after the Los Angeles Lakers' 
championship victory had city officials 
on the defensive Tuesday, with store­
keepers questioning the ability of the 
police to deal writh any unrest at the 
Democratic National Convention this 
summer.

Two police cars w ere set on fire 
Monday night, two TV news vans were 
damaged or destroyed, and nearly two 
dozen auto and garbage fires were 
reported. Looters invaded a computer 
store, glass storefronts were shattered 
and at least 74 vehicles at seven car 
dealerships wrere damaged.

Police fired rubber bullets to disperse

the crowd outside the Staples Center, 
where the Democratic convention will 
be held. Eleven people wrere arrested, 
and four police officers suffered minor 
injuries during the rock- and bottle- 
throwing melee.

Mayor Richard Riordan gave assur­
ances Tuesday that the streets will be 
safe when the Democrats come to town 
Aug. 14-17, and blamed the outburst on 
" a few hundred hoodlum s" out of 
30,000 people in and around the Staples 
Center.

"These are not fans. They are losers 
who only know how to trash our city," 
the mayor said.

Wagner could be done for year 

By The Associated Press

HOUSTON — Houston Astros closer Billy 
Wagner could miss the rest of the season after an 
MRI showed a partial tear of the flexor tendon in 
his left elbow.

Wagner will fly to Los Angeles in the next two 
days to meet with Anaheim Angels medical 
director, Dr. Lewis Yocum, for a second opinion.
"Obviously it's a huge blow for us," first base­
man Jeff Bagwell said. "This definitely doesn't 
make us a better team."

Wagner, the National League's top relief pitch­
er last season, has been struggling all season. He 
was recently removed from the closer's role and 
blew his ninth save in 15 opportunities this sea­
son against San Francisco on Saturday.

In that game, the left-hander walked the only

four batters he faced and gave 
up the winning run.

"W e all knew Billy wasn't 
Billy," Astros general manager 
Gerry Hunsicker said. "T h is 
certainly explains a lot."

Billy Wagner:
has been pitching

... 

Wagner said he has been 
playing with the injury since 
the end of last season, but that 
rest during 
the offseason 
made the elbow feel better. 
The pain began to reappear

to h,s mediocre performance,
he said.

since last season. 

"It hurt every time I pitched," he said. "1 still 

feel like I've let this team down."

TOO MUCH TIGER
After U.S. Open demolition, golf 
may suffer from Woods’ winning

By The Associated Press

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — No one 
ever made such a mockery of par in the 
U.S. Open.

Tiger Woods is that good.
He also became the first player to w in 

a major championship by 15 strokes.

Let's hope everyone else is not that 

bad.

Woods' awesome performance at 
Pebble Beach raised a question that has 
been nagging at the game ever since he 
started an incredible run of 14 victories in 
his last 25 tournaments, two of those 
major championships.

Is Tiger good for the game?
That depends on what his margin of 

victory in the U.S. Open represents.

If he was 15 strokes better than every­
one else on talent alone, golf will blos­
som the w ay it did when Arnold Palmer 
hitched his pants and took the game to 
new levels of popularity. Woods is excit­
ing to w'atch, and the fact he still is 10 
years from his prime makes it tantalizing 
to speculate whether he indeed will 
become the best ever.

The fear is that what separates Woods 
from the rest has more to do with desire.
"That hunger for winning a major 
championship ... if s there every week," 
Errue Els said. "To be honest with you, I 
don't feel like that every week w'hen I'm 
playing. He's just different. Whether it's 
a regular tournament or a major, he's 
going to be 110 percent to win and beat 
the field. And I'm not sure if there's a lot 
of players like that out there."

Els and Miguel Angel Jimenez tied for 
second at Pebble Beach. A year ago at 
linehurst, 15 strokes behind the champi-

Big 12 stadiums

By The Associated Press

LUBBOCK — Big 12 Conference 
schools are putting up big money so 
they can stay on a level playing field 
with their rivals.

Every school in the conference has 
initiated, completed or planned at least 
$6.2 million in football facility renova­
tions and expansions since 1995, accord­
the Lubbock 
survey by

ing 
Avalanche-Journal 

Seven of the 12 schools have started 
planning or finished facilities projects 
from construction budgets of at least 
$29 million, including Oklahoma State 
($76 million) and Texas Tech ($75 m il­
lion), both of which want to expand 
their stadiums to more than 60,(XX) seats 
by September 2002.

Tiger Woods may be too good for golf.

on w'ould have earned them a tie for 
30th.

"I'm kind of embarrassed, finishing 15 

shots behind," Els said.

He should be.
So should Phil Mickelson and David 
Duval, w'ho couldn't even break par over 
four rounds on a course where Woods 
did it three times. So should Hal Sutton, 
w'ho picked the wrong occasion to shoot 
his w'orst score ever in a U.S. Open, 83 in 
the third round. So should Davis Love ID 
and Jesper Pamevik, who didn't even 
make it to the third round.

Woods’ superiority could be a problem

WINNING, 
from 7
Woods, it should serve as a w ake-up call for 
everyone else.

Every sp o rt needs a dom inant player. To 
h av e som eone like Woods, a w orldw ide 
celebrity along the lines of M uham m ad Ali 
an d Michael Jordan, is a bonus.

W hat golf needs to sustain its rising interest 
is for someone — anyone — to challenge him.
W oods h as gone through so-called rivals 
as often as Vijay Singh changes putters — 
Mickelson, Els, Duval, Sergio Garcia, back to 
Els and Mickelson, even Sutton. W oods has 
alw ays dow nplayed talk of a rivalry, claim­
ing there w ere too m any good players.
Perhaps he was m erely being polite.
Tom Kite com pared the d ram a of W oods 
d estro y in g the field 
to w h e n the Texas 
Longhorns used to dom inate the Southw est 
Conference.

"You knew w ho w as going to win before 
the gam e," h e said. "It's certainly fun w hen 
y o u 're pulling for Texas, but it's not real excit­
ing for everybody else."

Jim m y C onnors d id n 't m ake tennis fun to 
w atch until John McEnroe show ed up. Larry 
H olm es w as the dom inant heavyw eight d u r­

ing som e of boxing's dullest years because 
his stiffest com petition cam e from Gerry 
Cooney.

Golf has so m uch potential, and is getting 

so little response.

"Right now, w h en he's on his gam e, I d on't 
see anyone really challenging him, dep en d ­
ing on the golf course," Nick Price said. 
"There are a lot of great players o u t there 
w ho aren 't getting any credit because Tiger is 
taking it all."

T here's a reason Woods is taking all the 
hardw are, and it's not just because of his 
length, shotm aking, short gam e and putting, 
all of w hich are superb.

After h e won the M asters by 12 strokes, 
W oods scrapped h is sw ing an d built one that 
w ould allow him to contend every week. 
A fter w inning the U.S. O p en by 15 strokes, 
h e talked about his desire to get better.

Woods is not only good. H e's hungry.
Two d a y s before the U.S. O pen, Jack 
N icklaus w as asked w hether it was m ore dif­
ficult today to win, as he did, 18 m ajors — the 
one record that d rives Woods.

"It d ep en d s a lo t on y o u r com petition," 
Nicklaus said. N icklaus lost more th a n he 
w on — a record 19 runner-ups in the majors 
— thanks to players like Palmer, G ary Player, 
Lee Trevino and Tom Watson.

 Austin natives Dynamite Hack land a major record deal, a national tour and status as alt-rock’s next big thing

12

The Dailv

June 21. 2000

By M att Dentler
Daily Texan Staff

"W e're not as good as some 
people think we are. We're not 
as shitty as other people think 
we are," said Chad Robinson, 
bassist/vocalist for rock quar­
tet Dynamite Hack. Bom near 
the U niversity 
o f Texas, 
Dynamite H ack is the latest in a 
long line of Austin alt-rock 
band s — 
including The 
Butthole Surfers and Fastball 
— to hit it big.

Their new hit single, an 
acoustic rock cover of Eazy E's 
rap classic "B oyz in the Hood," 
has given the band some great 
national attention. Q uickly 
signed to a nice deal with 
Universal M usic, the band's 
debut album , Superfast, was 
remixed and repackaged for 
stores across the country. The 
band is currently on a brief 
radio tour, and will soon meet 
up with Eve 6 and Goldfinger 
for an extended outing around 
the nation. Becoming the "next 
big thing" in alternative rock 
can't be easy on one's schedule 
and on o n e 's perception of 
what it m eans to be a young 
adult, but D ynam ite Hack 
appears to be handling it well.

It's completely insane. It's 
real cool, but it's strange how 
everything 
changes. Right 
about now, I'm gaining a lot of 
respect for people that I didn't 
think much about before just 
because 1 didn't listen to their 
m usic. Like Kid Rock and 
Lim p Bizkit. I remember when 
Lim p Bizkit was 
getting 
blam ed for all the rapes at 
['99]," Robinson 
W oodstock 
the 
said, discussing how 
media often exaggerates how a 
rock band 
"[It 
changes] after seeing some of 
the write-ups that w e get, or 
how jieople will quote us, or

really 

is. 

" T h e r e ’s gonna he 
plenty o f people 
that think we suek 
for sure. But there's 
been enough people 
that seem to be real 
it, 
into 
that w e r e 
not 
too worried 
about it”

—Chad Robinson, 
Dynamite Hack

how as soon as you get anv 
sort of success people start get­
ting crazy on you. And we're 
not under anything like those 
cats were getting fired on for. 
So, it's like, I bet those guys are 
pretty mellow if it hasn't just 
made them insane."

The band's sound, a hybrid 
of West Coast pop-punk and 
East Coast emocore, doesn't sit 
easily in the more honky-tonk 
surroundings 
that Austin 
offers. The band has stood 
strong and m ade their way 
through 
blues-folk-country 
music and into a realm that's 
decidedly un-Austin.

some 

"T h e music scene's so weird. 
There's a couple of good 
places. Like Red Eyed Fly is 
awesome, Flamingo [Cantina] 
and Em o's and then Stubb's 
outside 
good 
show s," Robinson said fondly, 
but adds that Austin's musical 
environm ent can be a hard 
place for a band trying to be 
experimental. "They got all this 
crap out, you know, 
'Live 
music capital of the world' and 
everything. They treat bands so 
strangely. They're not 
into 
bands that are try ing to do any­
thing different. Not that w e are, 
but like [Austin bands] Bo Bud

the only thing that's kept me 
h ere," Robinson adm itted. 
"A u stin 's being taken over so 
quickly by all the softw are 
millionaires. M ost of the peo­
ple I'm friends with, all every­
body's talking about is getting 
out of Austin. A lot of the peo­
ple I'm friends with are just 
ready to get out because all the 
stu ff 
to 
A ustin 
in the first place is 
slow ly leaving."

that drove 

them 

But for now, the band is 
very happy with where it is. 
"B oy z in the H ood " has the 
m akings of a huge radio hit. 
It's already popular all over 
the country, but the band is 
ready to support their record 
and spread the word. They're 
taking full advantage of televi­
sion outlets like M TV and the 
new U SA N etw ork show, 
Farm club. The group's daily 
life hasn't com pletely changed 
due to this TV exposure, but 
they aren't w alking the streets 
as the unknow ns they were 
m onths ago.

R obinson 

"It's hard to really im agine 
how m any people are out 
there w atching [the band on 
TV] and that they're really 
w'atching it. I'm alw ays sur­
p rise d ," 
said. 
"T h ere have been a couple of 
people that have recognized 
us. They'll com e up and be 
like, 'O h man, I saw you guys 
on Farmclub.' And you recog­
nized m e? You saw me on TV 
and recognized m e? T h at's 
weird, m an."

The success of the song, 
arranged on a whim by gui­
tarist M ark Morris, seem s like 
the perfect thing to happen in 
a m usic market obsessed with 
taking rock and rap and m ak­
ing it pop. Upon first listen, it 
w as hard for anyone to deny it 
could be a big triumph. Its suc­

cess h asn 't been surprising, 
except to the band.

"I think it's totally just luck 
and chance. We had the song 
out for a w hile. By the time it 
got out out, it w as like N.W.A. 
reunion time. W e're like, 'O h 
geez, this is kind o f crazy,'" 
R obinson said. 
"W e really 
thought, 'O h, this might kill 
us.' N ot [that N.W .A.] would, 
but that no on e w ould be 
wanting to hear a watered- 
down, pussy version of the 
song w h en th ey 'v e got an 
N.W .A. reunion going on. 
E v ery o n e's still digging 
it, 
though."

Dynam ite H ack will dedi­
cate the foreseeable future to 
prom oting Superfast and over­
com ing the next big obstacle, 
nailing a second hit. But, 
Robinson promises, the band 
has no intention of riding a 
"Boyz in the H ood" w ave for 
the rest of their career. The new 
record w ill be influenced by 
Bloody 
like My 
bands 
Valentine and Pavement.

W hatever does happen to 
these A ustin residents, they 
m aintain a m odest honesty 
that h o p efu lly w ill never 
leave them . They're deliver­
ing the goods as best they can 
and so far, people are receiv­
ing them well.

"T h ere's gonna be plenty of 
people that think we suck for 
sure. But there's been enough 
people that seem to be real into 
it, that w e're not too worried 
about it," Robinson said, with 
a laugh and a sense of motiva­
tion the m usic business could 
stand to see m ore of. 'T h e re 's 
no sense in w orrying about it. 
We're trying. There's nothing 
else we can do. If we still suck 
at this point, 1 don't know 
what to say. W e're trying not to 
suck."

stuff like that."

Robinson admits that he and the 
band were a bit disappointed by 
some o f the things that m ade it into 
print in a recent feature in another 
local new spaper. The 
article 
focused heavily on the recent 
departure of their drummer, Chase 
Scott. Robinson doesn't feel that 
the drum m er's exit from the band 
should be as big an issue as the 
paper m ade it appear.

"I'm 

just bum m ed about the 
whole Chase thing that got put in 
there. Lie and the band know why 
he w as kicked out and it's not a 
public d iscussion," he 
said, 
adding that he quickly e-mailed 
the form er bandm ate to ensure 
there w as no bad blood between 
them. The band has since hired 
local drum m er Kyle Schneider of 
the band Ten Percenter.

The band is still trying to focus 
on the right way to present where

they're com ing from. The fact that 
they originated in Texas makes 
that a challenge. Dynam ite Hack 
is a Texas band that doesn't per­
sonify what people assume Texas 
m usic is all about. That fact makes 
their presence refreshing and 
healthy to the music scene. But 
w ho knows if the band will con­
tinue to call Austin home.

"I m yself have been wanting to 
get out [of Austin] for about three 
years. This band has really been

it stayed the best m otocross game for 
16 years, until this m odem remake. 
Excitebike 64 rips a big ugly hole in the 
o u t-of-gas d irtbiking gam e genre, 
chock full of huge jumps, mud-sling- 
mg pow er slides and fast bikes. Not 
only is this cart loaded dow n with tons 
of tracks and com petitions, it ha- got 
gobs of icing on top, such as bonus 
modes, a stunt course, a randomly 
generating d esert dune 
track, hill 
climb, soccer and even the complete 
original N ES Excitebike. It's enough to 
make any 
red-blooded A m erican 
m ove ou t of the trailer park in pursuit 
o f m otocross fame and fortune.

fu rth er 

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater brought 
into 
sk ateb oard in g even 
m ainstream Am erican pop culture 
last year. 
Its addictive gam eplav 
m arked the return o f high score pride 
and was m ore than likely the num ber 
on e reason why little Billy broke his 
arm . This D ream cast version takes 
the engine o f the god-like Pla\ station 
original and slips it under a beautiful 
new chassis. With the exception of 
score-keeping on the V.M.U screen, 
and a (g rap h ically ) clean er two- 
p layer m ode, this is exactly the same

game. Is that so w rong? It took two 
d ecad es for so m eo n e to m ake a 
decent skateboarding gam e, though 
Pro Skater is far better than decent. 
Intuitive control, big, fully skateable 
levels, and now, thanks to the poly­
gon pum ping pow er of the beast 
known as D ream cast, stellar visuals 
make for a gam ing experience sim i­
lar to tree-basing cocaine. Good 
God, this is a great gam e. Relive the 
good old days o f 1999, before the 
Y2K b u g destroyed civilization, with 
this classic.

It's a great big scary world out there...
