The n o w -d e fu n c t h irin g p lan , known as the Target of O pportunity P ro g ram , e n d e d b ecau se of a 5th C ircuit C o u rt of A ppeals d ecision which ruled that any use of race con­ sideration in hiring, adm issions or financial d e cisio n s is subject to ex trem e sc ru tin y , said UT Vice Chancellor and General Counsel Ray Farabee. The lawsuit, Messer v. Meno, was a reverse-discrimination lawsuit filed by a w h ite fem ale ag a in st th e Texas Education Agency. In a majority opinion on the case, Judge Edith Jones applied principles of the 19% Hopwood decision — a rul­ ing which effectively ended affirma­ tive action in Texas public universities — to employment issues. "What they did was use principles essentially consistent with Hopwood and applied them in a different case re la te d to e m p lo y m e n t," said UT President Larry Faulkner. M ore specifically, Farabee added that the ruling states that race may only be used to remedy present effects of past discrimination. But Farabee said the ruling "does not prohibit other affirmative action efforts such as recruitment." F u n d s fo rm erly u tiliz ed in the Target of Opportunity Program sup­ plemented salaries and created new positions. These funds will now be "set aside to help university depart­ m ents h ire p eo p le they o th erw ise w o u ld n 't be able to," said Provost Sheldon Ekland-Olson. F au lk n er em p h asized th a t even th o u g h the T arget of O p p o rtu n ity Program was not in effect last year, the University "recruited essentially the sam e n u m b e r of m in o rity faculty members as in preceding years." F a u lk n e r also stressed th a t th e University is operating as effectively at diversifying the faculty as it was when the program v/as still in place. The current policy on faculty diver­ sity includes the involvement of both the Mexican A m erican Studies and African American Studies programs in recruitment efforts, Ekland-Olson said. Efforts will now center on faculty who can "enhance the shifting techno­ logical, dem ographic and economic environm ent the University is now confronting" he said. Key areas of interest target faculty able to enhance overall UT goals, w hich in c lu d e an em p h asis on im proving the U niv ersity 's Latin- American know ledge base, Ekland- Olson said. "The current policy is consistent with the University's continuing com­ m itm ent to achieve excellence and diversity," he said. "In order to reach our goals, we m ust have a faculty that is racially and ethnically diverse." Former Faculty Council Chairman John G ilb ert said he s u p p o rts all efforts to maintain and increase diver­ sity among faculty on campus. "It's regrettable that the courts have precluded our having a program that, in principle, targets minorities, but I am supportive of any kind of program that the adm inistration takes on to improve diversity on campus," Gilbert said.

Three Republican senators said they want a swift end to the case, and two of them expressed hope for a conclusion this \freek. "We would be derelict in our duty ... if we didn't talk to her," said Rep. Bill McCollum, R-Fla., one of the 13 H ouse m anagers presenting the case for Clinton's removal from office to the Senate. "We've never even met her." Three H ouse p ro sec u to rs, R epu blicans Asa H utchinson, Ed Bryant and M cCollum, arrived m idaftem oon at W ashington's stately Mayflower Hotel to interview the former White House intern whose affair with the president led to the Senate im p e ac h m en t trial. L e w in sk y 's law yer, Plato Cacheris, arrived-earlier. In d ep en d en t counsel Kenneth Starr's office also sent representatives. The prosecutors also indicated they wanted to talk to presidential friend Vernon Jordan, who helped Lewinsky in her job search. Hutchison said he met with Jordan's lawyer "laying the groundwork ... in the eventuality that he is called as witness. And hopefully, I'll be able to talk to Mr. Jordan." The House managers said they would ask sub­ stantive questions of Lewinsky about her relation­ ship w ith Clinton. McCollum said he w anted to question her about "her current state of mind on the grand jury testimony that she gave."

Olympia Snowe of Maine, Slade Gorton of Washington and Richard Shelby of Alabam a sought a fast conclusion to the trial. Snowe even predicted, "I think we will reach á conclusion by the end of this week" with a "chance to vote up or down on the articles of impeachment." Gorton, who abo said he hoped a solution could be found this week, said both parties should agree on a final vote and "get to it ... promptly." Added Shelby: "Let's close this thing out.

"W e w ill continue to prepare a letter in hopes that the p resid ent w ill réspond to the senators' interrogato­ rie s," L o tt ‘said in a statem ent. A response by Clinton attorneys "is not a substitute for the president answering the questions," he said. In a move that shattered the Senate's bipartisan approach to the impeach­ ment trial and caught senators from both parties off guard, Independent C oun sel Kenneth S ta rr's office obtained a court order to help the House schedule the interview w ith Lewinsky. Starr on Saturday obtained a court order for Lew insky to submit to the in terview , arguing that she had an o b lig atio n to cooperate under an agreement giving her limited immuni­ ty from prosecution. S ta rr told reporters outside his home Sunday that his office took "the appropriate action" and was "not in any w ay par­ ticipating other than responding to requests" from House managers. For the second consecutive Sunday, many of the key players had a say: 21 senators appeared on the Sunday talk shows, as did five of the 13 House prosecutors. Lead House manager Henry Hyde, R-lll., said the interview, an often-used tactic in court trials to size up witness­ es, was to leam "the kind of witness she would make."

Murray: The local and state media com­ pletely dropped the ball in the case of Austin child Lacresha Murray. With little evidence and question­ able tactics, I ravis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle, with the help of his friend, State District (Zourt Judge John Dietz, sent 11-year-old Murray to prison for killing a 2- year-old baby two years ago. Most local and state media organi­ zations, with a few exceptions such as the Austin Óiromcle, served mere­ ly as conduits for Ronnie Earle's public relations campaign. This began to change when Murray's case received national attention from The New York Times and 60 Minutes. However, Texas Monthly is holding its ground. In its January edition, the magazine published an irresponsible piece that demonstrat­ ed ignorance about the Murray case itself, the justice system, and the magazine's role as a public issues magazine. Texas Monthly writer Jordan Mackav wrote the piece titled "Sign of the Times" that asked, "When does a local story become a national story? When The New York Times says it does." The article came in response to a series of columns about the Murray case written by a case of faltering media Carl Villarreal COLUMNIST The New York Times columnist Bob Herbert. Mackay and Texas Monthly seemed more concerned with a nationally read, liberal paper stick­ ing its nose into the lock-em-up state of Texas than with whether justice was done. They didn't talk about the very pressing issue of whether the state has the right to essentially kid­ nap a child and interrogate her for three hours without a parent or attorney present. There was no exploration of youth and the justice system; no mention of the amount of money spent on prisons in Texas versus the amount spent on educa­ tion. There wasn't one shrecLof criti­ cal reporting on the tactics of the Austin Police Department or the dis­ trict attorney's office. Though Mack­ ay claims to have interviewed Earle and other prosecutors, he could have just as easily reprinted an Earle press release. The magazine didn't bother to look at the case from the perspective of Murray and her family. And it couldn't have been because of mere What ever happened to the idea that the press should serve as a check on the government and not as its spokesperson? disdain for whiny, hippie compas­ sion. Indeed Texas Monthly seemed to feel deep compassion, not for an 11-year-old girl, but for an adult, elected official — Ronnie Earle. Mackay noted that when he spoke with Éarle and other prosecutors, "they were drained from having been grilled by Herbert for two hours that morning." Poor Mr. Earle. At least he wasn't snatched from his family at age 11, pro­ claimed guilty before a trial, interro­ gated by police, and thrown in prison for up to 25 years. What ever happened to the idea that the press should serve as a check on the government and not as its spokesperson? Not only has Texas Monthly seemingly abandoned this approach in Murray's case, but Mackay worries about other journal­ ists seeking the truth. "Still, if Her­ bert's columns have indeed paved the way for other national media to poke around the Murray case," he wrote, "things could get even worse for Earle and the DA's office." Heav­ en forbid the public is actually informed about a public court case. What makes the publicity so damag­ ing for Earle is that he can't defend his dirty tactics in front of a public audience where a friendly judge isn't presiding and where jurors can't be carefully selected. Mackay doesn't appear to be an investigative reporter. His Lacresha Murray story was nothing more than anti-outsider bashing of The New York Times coupled with a polit­ ical ad for Ronnie Earle and his asso­ ciates. It demonstrated skewed priorities. Where the rest of the media is begin­ ning to redeem itself, Texas Monthly demonstrates that it has neither shame nor conscience. A picket demanding Lacresha Murray's freedom is planned for Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. at the 3rd Court of Appeals offices, at 14th and Lavaca Streets. Villarreal is a sociology senior. T h e Da i l y T e x a n Editorial Board Editor Michael Mulcahy Associate Editors Sholrtn Freeman, Spencer Prou, Amy Strahan VIEWPOINT Good job? W hen students stop using a popular designated driving pro­ gram, the UT community should take notice. It's not only a problem for those who risk injury7 or death in drunk driving accidents, but also for drivers on the roads with them. Disori­ ented students who try to walk home rather than getting a safe ride are also at considerable risk. That's why students should be outraged when they read that the company hired to run the UT Designated Drivers Program shuttle bus may have slacked off on the job. This semester,, DDP coordinators announced they must dis­ continue the DDP shuttle bus service that began last year. The problem: the number of students using the service is declining, from 727 passengers last year to 259 in the fall. Concerned student volunteers rode the DDP bus, operated by Star Shuttle, to spot the problem. According to the volun­ teers, students were routinely passed by at the designated DDP stops between San Jacinto Street and Seventh Street, and many times it took more than an hour for the shuttle to arrive. DDP volunteers estimated that the entire shuttle route shouldn't take more than 40 minutes, and complained to the company. Star Shuttle officials explained that the route was unclear, but even after attempts by the DDP to clarify the schedule, the problems persisted, according to DDP volunteers. Now, the University is negotiating with Star Shuttle to pre­ vent the D DP from paying for services it says weren't available to students. In contention is the amount of time the bus took to complete the route and the lack of a security guard on board at all times, even though the DDP w7as charged $15 an hour for security. Despite the DDP complaints, one Star Shuttle official told The Texan that the company has fulfilled its contractual obligations with the DDP. The DDP receives about $42,000 annually from student fees. Designated driving programs are only effective when they are used, and it is fortunate that DDP officials took action when the program suffered. At a university knowTt for its immense bureaucratic boondoggles, the DDP officials' efforts to make sure students get the most from their money should be applauded. in the meantime, we hope the dispute w7ith Star Shuttle is resolved quickly. Though students can't afford to pay for a shuttle that isn't effective, we certainly can't afford to eliminate the DDP bus service. The DDP taxi service is still available Thursday through Sat­ urday from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. (471-5200) Student volunteers spend valuable time to make the DDP successful, and we should expect a company hired to help the program to take at least as much pride in its work. "It's not a bad job, even though it goes fill 3 a.m.,' said Jeff Han, service vice president for Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed ser­ vice fraternity that regularly volunteers for the DDP. Han says he and others enjoy answering DDP phones, a task rewarded only with pizza and soft drinks. Late in the evening, the calls can get heavy, Han said, m ak­ ing the students' work a bit hectic. On some occasions, half of the job is helping a caller figure out where he or she is, Han added. No, it may not be easy, but at least students don't require a contract to do a good job. FIRING LINE Good for Faulkner I am glad UT President Larry' Faulkner wrote in to Firing Lifie [Jan. 22] to defend what he said about the campus with no students. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that quote was taken out of context, even if you didn't hear Faulkner's original speech. I feel sorry for anyone who took W'indell Oskay's cartoon seriously'. Windell, don't get me wrong, I usually like your cartoons, but I don't know what you have against Faulkner, (assuming you didn't seriously think Faulkner meant he hates the students.) I applaud Faulkner for his good-natured reply to this immature attempt at humor. Rebecca Green Studio art freshman Constructive criticism As an avid reader of Firing Line, not a day goes by where I am not presented with the rants of individ­ uals who feel the strong urge to bitch and moan. This is usually accomplished through the submis­ sion of an overly pretentious sounding letter complaining about government injustice or the moral breakdown of modem society, accompanied by the spouting of from bland regurgitated obscure books journals, although the author fails to men­ tion that he/she found the quote not from the original source but from an article in a recent issue of TIME or perhaps Penthouse. I agree that this is their nght and that the Firing Line was created as an open forum for people to express their thoughts. People like to feel they are making a difference. They like facts and to take some time to stand up on the soapbox and preach their val­ ues and ideas to those (myself included) who are willing to put up with it. However, unless you can actually suggest ideas to improve whatever it is that inflames you, please spare the readers of the Fir­ ing Line from your useless whin­ ing. If you really want to change something, propose a solution. Otherwise you have accomplished nothing but the irritation of the readers and more importantly ... me! Doug Denny Computer science freshman M ake Census accurate Randy Samuelson's letter [Firing Line, Jan. 22] equates abortion with murder Obviously, Samuelson regards fetuses as human beings. If this is the case, he should persuade the Census Department of the Unit­ ed States to count every pregnant woman as constituting two (or more) persons. He might also try to persuade other countries to do the same when they conduct their cen­ suses. His argument that abortion is murder would be much stronger if he succeeds. Tsz Ngong Lee Curriculum and instruction graduate student Moral decay? Randy A Samuelson's letter Moral Decay [Firing Line, Jan. 22] expresses a view that says that abortion and adultery are the only indicators of moral decay in this country. What ever happened to theft, bribery, murder, lying, and saying "G-d damn it?" Oh, I forgot; those five behaviors and others are considered normal because every­ one occasionally engages in them. I still believe it's a woman's right to have an abortion. Adultery is something everyone does, literally or wishfully. (Who hasn't lusted after a man or woman when they cross paths on sidewalks or hall­ ways? Come ooon!)

"You can't let them explode like that," said Coale, whose team fell to 8-8 overall and 2-4 in conference action. "We knew Texas was a second-half team, we prepared for it, and it still happened." Not-so-coincidentally, the Longhorns' second-half eruption coincided with the return of star point guard / small for­ ward / power forward Edwina Brown to the floor, after the junior sensation spent all but nine minutes of the first half on the bench in foul trouble. With Brown sidelined, the Horns were stagnant, experiencing two different four- minute scoring droughts — a big reason they trailed by half a dozen at intermission. Brown, perhaps the best swing player in the conference, played every second of the second half, scoring 11 of her team-leading 17 points. Perhaps more importantly, Brown's revival kick-started the UT transition game into high gear. "I think we were really fortunate to keep it that close," UT coach Jody Conradt said of life without her catalyst. "We're just not going to be the same team when she's not on the floor." But, f e e i n g off Brow n's contagious kinetic energy in the second half, the Long­ horns got 19 points of 14 Sooner turnovers and began to pull away.

The embattled president of the International Olympic Committee said the action was aimed at ending "the ugliest chapter in the history" amidst scandal of the world's biggest sports event, which in the last two decades has also become a billion-dollar busi­ ness. As a third member resigned in the scandal, IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch said three other mem­ bers remained under investigation, while a fourth was warned about his actions by the ruling executive board. "The members violated their Olympic oath and betrayed the con­ fidence put in them by the Olympic family." Samaranch said. "These inappropriate and actions were against the'policy of our organiza­ tion." One member, Jean-Claude Ganga of the Republic of Congo, received $226,(XX) from Salt Lake in cash, medical and travel expenses, gifts, and entertainment, according to the IOC report.

Toby Morris/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Icing on the cake Texas’ Williams rushes for 114 yards to gamer Hula Bowl MVP honors Associated Press WAILUKU, Hawaii — In a game between the big names and the no names, the big names won. Led by Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams of Texas and runner- up Michael Bishop of Kansas State, the South rolled to a 34-14 victory over the North on Sunday in the Hula Bowl. twc Williams rushed for 114 yards and touchdow ns and was named most valuable player for the South. Despite the advice of his agent, who wanted him to skip the game to avoid the risk of injury, Williams said it was his dream to play in an all-star game. "It's a great way to cap off a great college career," said Williams, who carried 22 times. His 11-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter gave the South the lead for good then Bishop took over and led the South to two more scores to seal the win. "1 got the opportunity to put the ball in the air and made some good plays," said Bishop, who finished 10-for-17 for 197 yards and two TD passes. "When you play with the best it makes you play your best. I had a great game," he said. The North took a 14-13 lead when quarterback Kevin Daft of Division II Califomia-Davis hit Kent State receiver Eugene Jones with an 8- yard touchdown pass with 39 sec­ onds left in the third quarter. Baker also caught a 28-yard pass on the drive. From then on it was all South. Bishop marched his team down the field on a nine-play, 74-yard drive capped by Williams' second TD run, a dash off left tackle that ended when he stretched the ball over the goal line with 11:05 left. Bishop and East C arolin a's Troy Smith put the game away for the South, hooking up on two pass plays for 74 yards.

Texas' 34-point victory over sec­ ond place Houston was due in in large part to the fact that coach Bev Kearney's squad swept the top four spots in the 200- and 400-meters along with finishing 1-2-3 in the 60- meter sprint. Leading the w ay in those particu­ lar events was the familiar face of senior six-time national champion Suziann Reid, who took first in both the 200- and 400-meters. Reid clocked an automatic bid to nation­ als with her 53.31-second perfor­ mance in the 400-meters (which was also a new meet record) w hile stringing together a personal best in her first place finish of the 200- meters (23.79). "If what you saw last year of Suziann was impressive, know that the best is yet to come," Kearney said. That is pretty scary statement to the ears of Reid's opponents, consid­ ering the Maryland-native is the reigning indoor and outdoor 400- meter champion. Finishing right behind Reid in the 200-meters w as senior teammate LaKeisha Backus, follow ed by Nanceen Perry and Aminah Had­ dad. Backus was the winner of Sat­ urday's 60-meter race, clocking a provisional time of 7.34. In the 400-meter final Central Ari­ zona-transfer Tanya Jarrett started her Texas debut off on the right foot finishing second behind Reid with a time of 54.53. Angel Patterson and Alejandra Valles, collectively fin­ ished off Texas' sweep of the top four spots. There were no surprises in the out­ come of Saturday's high jump event on the women's side of the field. Erin Aldrich picked up where she left off last June as the NCAA's outdoor high jump'champion, collecting her first indoor title of 1999 with a jump of 6-3 1/2. The NCAA automatic mark set a new meet and stadium record while also keeping Aldrich unbeaten in her two season's of jumping indoors. She has won all five indoor meets she has participated in since 1998, including the Big 12 and national title. "You're guaranteed virtually some points with a competitor like Erin on the roster," Kearney said. "Whoever w ins the high jump national championship will have to go through her." The jump marks as the third-best effort in school history, trailing the jumps of 6-5 1 / 2 and 6 -4 1 /4 Aldrich recorded last season. Sophomore Nicole Hoxie returned to action in the hurdles Saturday with a second place finish in the 60-meter hurdles with a provisional-qualifying time of 8.37. This comes after Hoxie suffered an injury late in the indoor season last year that forced her to red- shirt her outdoor-season. Texas' only other victory came in the 4X400-meter relay, where they held off second-place finisher Tulane with a time of 3:45.40.

But even w ith the convincing loss, the Longhorns, w ho have w on the com petition seven times, still rem ain optim istic about the busy schedule in the weeks to come. Freshm en Tommy H annan said that several veteran sw im m ers "took it easy" for the w eekend in anticipation of the busy schedule. Instead, you n g er m em bers of the team were given the opportunity to shine. "We d id n 't take our top guys w ith us to Dallas," H annan said.

H annan, a ru n n er up in three events, adds that the defeat will not dam pen team spirits. "The first day we were kind of off. We weren't swimming as well as we should have been," Hannan said.

All he has to do is ensure that Texas, beats all the teams that it should and sneak a few upsets here and there, which has been easier said than done in recent years. Compare that task to the ACC, where Barnes was battling OSU-cal- iber foes every night It was there that the Hickory; N.C., native learned the value of defense, which has been the Horns' strength from the first month of the year to Chris M ihm 's back-to-back blocks in the closing seconds against the C o w ­ boys. Granted, Barnes current team probably w ouldn't sport that 6-1 record if it were playing in his old league, but under Tom Penders, it would be lucky to be 1-6. That is the kind of impact that Barnes, who toiled aw ay in Mack Brown's shadow for most of his first year on the Forty Acres, has made on a program that was in complete disarray when he arrived. Much has been made of his heavy-handed dis­ ciplinary tactics and his un-Penders- like philosophy on shot selection, but more than anything, Barnes has bred confidence in a group that had none four months ago. In the past, Texas was reknowned as a team with the propensity to waste aw ay double-digit leads down the stretch.

"We went back to the press after halftime and really started jumping things in the backcourt," Brow n said. "That's when things got going for us." Oklahoma got to w’ithin a point with 4:20 left, but it was then that Brow'n took over. The 5-10 Lockhart native answered more calls than a Time- Life operator in crunch time, the first clutch play coming on a nifty dish to teammate Asha H ill for a layup that made it a three-point game again. A minute and a halt later, Brown's acrobatic, airborne tip in of a H ill misfire put Texas ahead by four, and a coast-to-coast toasting of O U 's fleet-footed LaNeisha Caufield gave the Horns a five-point advantage w ith 1:33 on the clock Texas then hit seven straight foul shots down the stretch to secure the victory. "She has the instinct to expose any breakdown you have," Coale said of Brown. "You have to give her a lot of credit. She gives their team a lot of confidence that they just feed off of." Freshman center Rashunda John­ son, relatively quiet in Texas' previ­ ous three games, played as big as her 6-4 frame on Saturday, scoring 15 points and hauling in nine rebounds, narrowly missing the sec­ ond double-double of her young career. Lummus (14 points) and H ill (11 points) rounded out the Longhorn players in double figures, w'hile H ill's four steals were a game-high "W e started to fly around a lot and do some things on defense in the second half," Conradt said.

Bishop closed out the game's scoring with a 54-yard TD pass to Texas receiver W ane M cGarity. On the game's final play he lofted a ball to Arizona cornerback Chris M cAlister, w ho wanted to show scouts he could play receiver/ but the pass into the end zone was deflected. The North took a 7-0 lead by scor­ ing on its first drive. Missouri quar­ terback Corby Jones and Utah receiver Daniel Jones capped a six- play, 79-yard drive with a 22-yard’ pass. The two hooked up on th< drive for completions of 33 yards and 22 yards. "I thought that was a huge play," Barnes said. "W e were trying to go inside but we couldn't and that shot gave us a real lift. We didn't have as much a hill to climb in the second half." Texas opened up the second half w ith a 24-10 run, and held the lead until O S U scored 8 unanswered points to foro a Longhorn come­ back.

This isn't to say that we should be ready to proclaim Barnes as a genius.or the savior of Texas bas­ ketball — DeLoss Dodds and I should have learned our lessons about quick impressions by now but it's undeniable that the trans­ formation of a paper-thin Texas roster into an N C A A tournament contender has been nothing short of miraculous. And if people want to talk about how well the Horns survived the Big 12's gauntlet? So be it, Barnes thinks. It wouldn't be the first time he's managed to fool people.

ASSOCIATED PRESS that has been the norm for a Texas squad that currently leads the Big 12 South with a 6-1 conference record, what was even more surprising Sat­ urday night was the team's 52-per­ cent shooting from the field. The Horns connected on 29 of 56 attempts from the floor while hold­ ing the Cowboys to only 29 second half points in one of the biggest w i n s of the season. " I think this is a great win for the program," U T coach Rick Barnes said. "So many things have been going on that it is great to get a win against an excellent team." Despite the absence of Muoneke underneath, the Longhorns scored 48 points in the paint and outrebounded O SU 35-30. Mihm played one of his best games of the year, scoring 22 points and grabbing 14 boards to go along with his four blocks. Forward Kris Clack added a game-high 25 points and seven rebounds. "M ih m and Clack are extremely talented basketball players," O SU coach Eddie Sutton said. "They are especially hard to stop when they get the ball down low' like there were all night." The Longhorns jumped out to an early lead and held on until the eight-minute mark of the first half. From there, Oklahoma State went on an 18-2 run as fatigue began to set in, turning a five-point deficit into an 11 point lead. But the Horns closed the half out with a 7-2 spurt of their own, capped by a Chris McColpin three-pointer at the buzzer that cut the O SU lead to Don't let Allergies Shut you in!

At midseason, the average of 5.3 goals per game matched last sea­ son's production, lowest in more than 40 years.

"Pamela is frightened, and though we offered to suspend her open-air presentations she just wants to go home," tour manager Diego Cas- sagne said Saturday. After a news conference Friday at the Atlantic resort of Punta del Este, Uruguay, scores of teen-agers sur­ rounded Anderson on the beach, shouted vulgar remarks and tned to fondle her. The current star of the syndicated T V show V.I.P. im mediately can­ celed the filming of a suntan lotion commercial in Uruguay and a guest appearance on a TV show in neigh­ boring in Argentina. During the televised conference where she was asked about a video­ tape of her h avin g sex w ith estranged rock star husband Tommy Lee, Anderson said, " I think I'm going home." Space Pioneer pro­ motes international space program ■ T O K Y O — John Glenn arrived in Japan on Sunday with four other crew members from the space shut­ tle Discovery on a trip to promote international links for the U.S. space program. The astronauts were greeted at Narita airport, near Tokyo, by Chi- aki M u k ai, Ja p a n 's first fem ale astronaut and a member of the D iscovery crew that returned to Earth N ov. 7 after a 10-day mis­ sion. Glenn and the other astronauts will hold news conferences Monday and Wednesday. The seven-member crew, one of whom arrived Saturday on a sepa­ rate flight, will also take a sightseeing trip to Kyoto before leaving Japan at the end of January. Glenn, 77, who made a pioneering space flight in 1962, returned to space last year while ending his long career as a U.S. senator. Before coming to Japan, the astro­ nauts made stops in France, G er­ many, Spain and other European cities to promote the U.S. space pro­ gram. — Compiled from Associated Press reports More Games • More Variety • More Fun!

Shumer began volunteering his time to build yellow bikes last year after he answered a Ko-Op radio ad on how to build your own bike. "I learned everything I need to know about bikes here,” he said. Bottom left The Yellow Bike Pro­ ject continues to hold meetings and bike workshops at their first bike shop, two sheds in the back yard of YBP members Lee Gresh- ham and Hohn Thoms at 419 West Johana in South Austin. Here, the non-profit organization built the 260 yellow bikes that roam Austin's streets, said Dave Baker, founding member of the organiza­ tion. Features Editor Randy Kramen, rk-@mail.utexas.edu Bike Continued from page 1 l,000-sq.-ft. warehouse at 1182 Hargrave in East Austin. YeUow Bike also announced it will soon be operating bike- lending libraries at their two locations in an effort to create more respect for the yellow bikes and keep them in bettej repair. "We're going to have bikes you can check out for up to a week, with lights, helmets and locks, for anybody in the dfy," said John Thoms. To receive a library card, people can donate $20 or volun­ teer 12 hours in foe snop. "This is a volunteer program, and we'd really most like to see people come out to foe shops and work on foe bikes," said John Thoms. Dave Baker said the biggest problem Yellow Bike faces isn't theft but people not reporting bikes in need of repair. "Here in America, foe idea of public property is a hard one to get across," Baker said. Matt Kite, assistant director of foe Austin Public Works and Transportation Dept., helped Yellow Bike acquire foe space and donated a sign to foe new shop that reads, "The work done here at foe Yellow Bike Shop is in memory of Ben Clough." Ben Clough was a member of Yellow Bike who died last October after being struck by a car while riding his bike The birthday festivities began with a bike parade that pro­ ceeded from the south side of foe Capitol down Congress Avenue, looped around downtown and concluded at foe new workshop. "A lot of people on the sides of the road were really encouraging. They were yelling, 'Yea, Yellow Bike!,"' said Sita Luna, an Austin resident who came to foe picnic. The Trend Stunt Bike Team, sponsored by foe Trend Bike Source bike shop, was on hand performing impressive cycling maneuvers. The picnic lasted from noon to six p.m. and featured five bands that entertained foe group of several hundred people as they reclined on a hill, fixed tneir bikes in foe new snop or raced around foe parking lot. Ray Mynatt of Too Bad About foe Kid, one of foe bands performing that day, said he was glad to support such a great cause. "Getting rid of cars is something we should definitely be working towards," Mynatt said. "I gave up my car a few years ago — now all I do is ride my bike or taxe foe bus." Larry Williams, vocalist for Big Game Hunter, said this was foe fourth benefit show they've done for foe Yellow Bike Project. "We see Yellow Bike as an extension of the vibe we're feel­ ing, so we just wanted to try to add to foe whole scene," Williams said. Yellow Bike served up a vegan feast for foe hungry cyclists with food donated by W heatsville Co-op, Oh Snucks Tamales, Central Market, HEB, White Mountain Foods, Ruta- maya and Kerbey Lane. 6 1 / 2-year-old Caleb Reid read a book to the crowd that he wrote for foe occasion. "Be safe, wear a helmet." "We nde bikes because we don't want to pollute," he read. Next, political poet Tammy Gomez read poetry and led foe crowd in a chant of "Death to autos in the parking lots." Soon after foe last band, Biscuit, finished, foe party moved to The Off Center at 2211 Hidalgo where seven more bands played late into foe night.

January 2 5 ,1 9 9 9 T h e D a i l y T e x a n Man ticketed for swearing, could face jaif time 1897 Michigan law forbidding cursing in front of women andkids unconstitutional, said Michigan ACLU director Associated Press STANDISH , Mich. — Tim othy B o o m e r m ad e a b ig g e r sp la sh than he bargained for after a tum ­ ble from a canoe landed him in a fight over whether, foul language is legally protected free speech. A s h e r i f f 's d ep u ty sa y s he heard Boomer explode in a three- minute barrage of profanity after the mishap on the Rifle River last summer, loud enough to be heard a q u a r te r -m ile aw ay. W h a t's more, he says, a woman and her two young children were nearby. So the officer ticketed Boomer under an 1897 Michigan law that p ro h ib its c u r s in g in fro n t of women and children Boom er, 24, insists his w ords h av e b een e x a g g e ra te d . But defense attorney W illiam Street, who took the case on b eh alf of the A m e rica n C i v i l L i b e r t i e s Union, says that even if Boomer was b oorish , he was w ithin his First Amendment rights. Boom er's trial is scheduled for Thursday, but Street on Monday will ask a judge to throw out the c h a rg e and d e c la r e law unconstitutional. the " T h e r e is an u n d ersta n d ab le d e sire for m ore c iv ility in our society But do we want to give police the power to enforce it? " Street asked. "Heaven forbid, we h av e sex p o lic e . A re we now going to have language police?" Assistant Arenac County Prose­ cutor Richard V olibach says the case involves no lofty coh stitu - tional issues. Instead, he says, it is a sim ple m atter of disorderly conduct. "P eo p le think this poor, hard­ working guy fell in the river and 'O h , d am n ' and the )ust said N azis came and arrested h im ," Volibach said. "H e 's doing what he can to come across as a m ar­ tyr, but that is not the case." If the case g oes to tria l and Boomer is convicted, he could get up to 90 days in jail and a $100 fine. The Rifle River winds through rural Ogemaw and Arenac coun­ tie s , a b o u t 130 m iles n o rth of D e tro it b e fo re e m p ty in g in to Lake Huron. It's a slow-moving, tree-lined waterway popular with canoeists. P eople livin g along the river have com plained about cursing and o th e r row dy b e h a v io r by boaters, said Ben Welmers, editor of the weekly Arenac County Inde­ pendent.

" T h e r e 's no way it was three m inutes," he said. " It was with a group of frien d s, ju st having a good time. There was no anger, hostility, of any kind."

These days, the former Black Pan­ ther chief of staff makes th e tnp as a candidate for City Council — no gun in his grip, less hair on h is head, but the same rallying ay: Power to the people. "This is the beginning o f trying to really restructure and to rebuild anoth­ er movement,' he says. Hilliard is part of a political flash­ back of sorts. His campaign is being managed bv Black Panther co-founder Bobby Seale and was inspired by the comeback of another '70s icon, gover- nor-tumed-mavor Jerry Brown. But Hilliard says the old Black Pan­ ther goals of better housing and schools are still relevant. "I want to resurrect our dreams,” he says. For Hilliard, the dream began as a young man growing up in down-at- the-heels neighborhoods in West Oak­ land. "This is where we started,'' he says while leading a bus tour through streets lined with shabby Yictonans. 44 m ent. This is the beginning of trying to really restru ctu re and to rebuild another move- David HBarti, former nee* Panther cmet of sum — Stop No. 12 on the Black Panther Legacy Tour is the street comer wTiere Bobby Hutton was fatally shot by police in Apnl 1968 after a protracted gun battle. Stop No. 11 is the church where the Black Panthers began serving free breakfasts to poor children. Raising his voice above the engine's rumble, Hilliard says both sites are key to understanding "probably the most misunderstood organization in the his­ tory of the d\il rights movement. You know about our imagery and about the guns ... but you don't know' about the (community) programs.” The Black Panther Party was found­ ed in 1966 by Seale and Huey Newton, who met as students at Oakland's Mer­ ritt Junior College and were working at a city anti-poverty center. Seale, joining Hilliard at the micro­ phone for the bus tour, remembers hatching the party's founding mani­ festo, the Ten Point Program, late one night. Seale pecked out the program at a typewriter while Newton burrowed through law books for the court ruling the party would later use as the legal basis for shadowing Oakland police. Hilliard has at least one political vet­ eran on his side with Seale, who ran for Oakland mayor in 1973 and has wofked for former Panther Bobby Rush, a congressman running for Chicago mayor this year. Emily Stoper, a 30-year Oakland res­ ident and political science professor at California State University-Hay ward thinks the political climate may be right for revisiting some of the racial and social issues first raised in the angry '60s. "Race seems to go on and off the political agenda in this country,” she says. "W hen it's off, people forget about it and they don't discuss issues and there isn't much effective dialogue so you get a kind of buildup of misun­ derstanding. EMPLOYMENT rr iJ'HT H !
