Lagos death toll rises to 600
LAGOS, Nigeria — Sadness turned to rage 

against the military about a string of explo­
sions at a huge arms cache set in the middle 
of a crowded Lagos neighborhood. The blasts 
and resulting panic left at least 600 dead.

Distraught families searching for missing 

loved ones blamed the military for storing 
weapons, including rockets and heavy artillery 
shells, in the northern Ikeja neighborhood.
The governor of Lagos state charged the 
army with negligence.

Dow down nearly 250 points
NEW YORK — The Dow Jones average 
tumbled nearly 250 points Tuesday on wor­
ries that more companies might be vulnera­
ble to bookkeeping scandals of the sort that 
brought down Enron Corp. It ves the Dow’s 
biggest drop in three months.

Analysts said Wall Street already jittery 
about the timing of an economic recovery, 
was concerned that companies like the con­
glomerate Tyco might suffer from the same 
type of balance-sheet irregularities seen at 
Enron.

Not even strangertharvexpected consumer 

confidence numbers could stop the selling.

Japan’s foreign minister fired
TOKYO — Makiko Tanaka, Japan’s foreign 

minister, was fired by the prime minister 
Tuesday for feuding with her deputy and 
stalling legislation to lift the economy.

With her fiery promises to fight bureaucratic 
incompetence and corruption, Tanaka, 58, has 
been a key reason Prime Minister Junichiro 
Koizumi has enjoyed high public approval rat­
ings since he swept to power last April.

But the first woman to serve as Japan’s top 

diplomat has also been a polarizing force, 
snubbing meetings with foreign dignitaries, 
squabbling with bureaucrats over personnel 
choices and belittling deputies in public.

Court rules on abortion case
MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s Supreme Court 

upheld Tuesday a law that decriminalized 
abortion in cases of severe birth defects, but 
also ruled that fetuses have a right to life, a 
stance that could conflict with the law’s provi­
sions for abortion in cases of rape or risks to 
the mother.

The court said it will rule Wednesday on 
the issues of rape and the mother’s health.
In most of Mexico’s 31 states, abortion is 
allowed when the life of the mother or the
baby is in clanger or in cases of rape. In other 
cases, abortion is illegal.

Israel eyes new security plan
JERUSALEM — Israeli officials presented a 
plan Tuesday to tighten security in Jerusalem, 
possibly including erecting barriers and check­
points to keep Palestinians out of the Jewish 
side of the city, the scene of two deadly 
attacks in the past week.

No decision was reached on the proposals, 
which came as police reinforcements flooded 
the eerily quiet downtown section, inspecting 
some of the few pedestrians on ofttargeted 
Jaffa Street, the city’s landmark shopping strip.

WAS1IINGTON — President Bush said 
Tuesday night that tens of thousands of ter­
rorists still threaten America — "ticking time 
bombs, set to go off' — and promised to 
stalk them across the globe. In his first State 
of the Union address, he pledged a battle of 
equal vigor to revive the ailing economy.

"We will prevail in war, and we will 
defeat this recession," the commander in 
chief said, standing before Congress and the 
public with an approval rating of over 80 
percent.

that shocked 

Nearly five months after the Sept. 11 
attacks 
the world, Bush 
pledged to push the w ar on terrorism 
beyond Afghanistan to a dozen countries 
that he said harbor terrorist canjps. He also 
warned of "an axis of evil" in nations like 
North Korea, Iran and Iraq and said the 
United States would not allow them to 
threaten the world with weapons of mass 
destruction.

Offering chilling evidence of terrorists'’ 
plotting, Bush said U.S. forces in Afghanistan 
found diagrams of American nucleár power 
plants hidden in terrorist hide-outs.

Bush entered the packed House chamber 
to boisterous applause from Republicans and 
Democrats alike.

Student fee still 
too costly, SG says

By Courtney Morris
Daily Texan Staff

UT administrators decided to alter their 
infrastructure fee proposal by dropping the 
fee's price in its first year by $50 in the 
President Student Advisory Committee 
meeting Tuesday.

Although UT President Larry Faulkner 
decided to drop the price of the proposed 
infrastructure fee, Student Government 
members remain disappointed with the 
amount students will pay.

Kevin Hegarty, vice president of financial 
affairs and chief financial officer, said the 
new proposal is a win-win situation that 
would raise more money for the University 
and simultaneously charge individual stu­
dents less.

"Essentially, we're spreading it over a 
wider population of students," Hegarty 
said.

If approved, the modified proposal 
would charge students an extra $180 next 
fall instead of the original $230. The fee 
would tíren increase by $50 over the next six 
years, instead of the originally proposed 
five years.

While delaying the increase of tíre fee

Bush's speech commended’ rebuked by local politicians, UTprofessors

By Miguel Llscano
Daily Texan Staff

Local political insiders and leaders 
agreed with President George W. Bush's 
terrorism 
position on 
Tuesday after his State of the Union 
address, but some said his ideas foi 
domestic policy are too general.

the war on 

The speech focused on increasing 
defense spending, revitalizing the econ­
omy through permanent tax cuts and 
job creation, winning the war on terror­
ism and improving homeland security.

"I ask you to join me on these impor­
tant domestic issues, in the same spirit 
of cooperation we've applied to our war 
against terrorism," Bush said.

Marvin Olasky, a journalism profes­
sor and Bush 2000 campaign adviser, 
said the speech was moving and not a 
laundry list of proposals.

"I thought he hit the major points and

did not major in the minors," Olasky 
said. "The doom of State of the Union 
addresses is their specificity."

Olasky said discussion of specific 
issues is a technique used for the benefit 
of special interest groups but not for the 
larger public audience. Being specific, 
Olasky said, detracts from the overall 
importance of the speech.

Elliott McFadden, Travis County 
Democratic Party executive director, 
said m ost people would commend 
President Bush for making the fight on 
terrorism a priority, but Bush failed to 
leave 
focus on corporations 
employees and investors without their 
life savings.

FBI interviews 
done without 
UT assistance

By Courtney Morris
Daily Texan Staff

Any investigations relating to the Sept. 11 attacks conducted 
by the FBI were done without the University's help, UT olii 
cials said Tuesday.

Following the attacks and the approval of the USA PA 1 Rid I 
Act some international students expressed concern over the ir 
privacy and the government's increased investigative power 
T h e FBI began an expansive investigation of international stu 
dents in the United States after it was discovered that some < 
the alleged hijackers had entered the country on student vi a 

Deane Willis, UT international office manager, said about 20 

students informed the office that the FBI questioned them.

However, most of the FBI interviewees were tracked down 
without the University's help, said Jeff Graves, associate counsel 
in the Office of Legal Affairs. He added that the University h. 
only received three requests for student directory information 

"Our police were not involved; University officials were no! 

involved," Graves said. "That's not our role."

The FBI does not have a standard criteria set to select who i 
interviewed, said John de Leon, an FBI special agent. Ea< h invt - 
tigation is unique and judged by subjective criteria, he added 

"We interview individuals that need to be interviewed as 

related to a particular investigation," de Leon said.

The FBI does not maintain specific statistics about the nuin 

her of students individually interviewed, he added.

The International Office offered support to those students w! 10 
were called to be interviewed, Willis said. Students could have 
received advice from the International Office and conduc ted their 
interviews there if they felt nervous or uncomfortable, she added 
"It took away a little bit of the intimidation," Willis said 
She said the office is careful about releasing information and 
several individuals help determine whether a request for a stu 
dent's records is warranted.

The office also informed international students that they 
could protect their records under the Family Educational 
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

The federal law gives parents and eligible students the right 
to restrict access to academic records and applies to any school 
that receives federal funds.

However, FERPA does grant "certain government officials in 
order to carry out lawful functions and individuals who have 
obtained court orders or subpoenas" the right to obtain student 
records even if that student has requested that his or hei 
records be kept confidential.

might please students, doing so will pre­
vent the University from reaching its initial 
goal of $21.4 million by $5 million, Hegarty 
said.

To supplement the fee's decrease, the

administration now intends to add the 
infrastructure fee to the tuition and fees of 
students enrolled in the summer sessions.

Students and club owners expressed mixed reactions 
Tuesday to the cancellation of tliis year's Mardi Gras parade, 
which traditionally is held on Sixth Street.

Parade coordinators called off the parade, just two weeks 
away, when the Austin Police Department said it would only 
allow the event to De conducted during the day. Several other 
events set to take place on those three days were also canceled.
The department has repeatedly stressed that, despite the 
news, Mardi Gras itself has not been canceled and most of the 
festivities will continue as planned, an APD spokeswoman said. 
She also said last year's riots didn't influence the department's

decision, but rather its lack of manpower to ensure a safe night­
time parade.

Saif Siddiqui, an economics senior, was hospitalized last 
February after he was hit above his eye with a rubber pellet by 
police last year, who were responding to riots that erupted after 
the Mardi Gras parade.

Despite his encounter with violence at the event, like many 

other students, he is opposed to the cancellation.

"Just changing a time-honored tradition based on their inabil­

ity to handle it is wrong inside," he said.

Rubber pellets are used to momentarily incapacitate people 

and to disperse crowds.

ADDRESS, from 1
an exam ple of a corporation forgetting 
about employees.

"Enron has been the biggest story for the 
last m onth and he even d id n 't m ention it 
tonight," M cFadden said. " ... the question 
is ... why he d id n 't talk about the biggest 
investor boondoggle in history, and why 
he's not using the pow er of the president 
to fight that problem ."

M cFadden said Bush's desire to raise 
defense spending while cutting taxes rais­
es questions as to how the president will 
fund his ideas

"These are all worthy goals, but we need 
to see m ore from him, exactly how he's 
going to pay for this and how he's going to 
do that when w e're already going into a 
deficit situation," he said.

Alan Sager, Travis C ounty Republican 
Party chairman, said Bush divided his pri­
orities equally in the speech.

[’resident Bush laid o u t large ideas, 
Sager said, because he has the public's 
tru st and believes citizens will m ake 
things happen.

But Sager said Bush m entioned many 
specific ideas such as a patients' bill of 
rights and pay raises for the military.

"There are a lot of specifics in it, if s just 
ro t a laundry list," Sager said. "I think 
people saw tonight a real George Bush, a 
man whose com m itm ent to people is far 
deeper than most people have ever real­
ized."

Joe Moser, an English graduate stu ­
dent, said Bush seem ed honest, but said 
the com m ents were typical of a State of 
the U nion address. It is still uncertain if 
the issues addressed will be dealt with, he 
added.

"Bush gave a good speech. He didn't 
have his typical problems," Moser said. 
"He seemed like a very strong leader."

Hammond says revision not enough

FEE, from 1
Students taking less than seven hours w ould pay a o n e-tim e fee 
of $115, w hile stu d en ts taking less than Seven hours w ould pay 
$58. The change w o u ld n 't m ake sum m er school m uch more 
expensive since m ost of those stu d en ts take about six hours, 
I legarty said.

A lthough SG President Matt H am m ond said he su p p o rts the 
ad m in istratio n 's attem pt to im prove its proposal, stu d en ts are 
unlikely to be pleased with the revisions.

" I d o n 't think w ith this proposal stu d en ts will be any m ore 
satisfied than they were with the last," said H am m ond, a gov­
ernm ent senior. "There is a small benefit given to stu d e n ts next 
year in the first vear of the fee but after that w e're right back up 
to $230 again."

The specific requests of the SC proposal, w hich suggested 
that the fee d ro p to $115 and increased funds be spen t on tangi­
ble projects that stu d en ts could see, were ignored, H am m ond 
said. That proposal was presented to the adm inistration last 
week.

"O v e ra ll, w e 're n o t satisfied at all, b u t at least w e can say 
th ere is m o v e m e n t in the rig h t d ire c tio n ," he said . "We 
h av e tw o -a n d -a -h a lf-w e e k s befo re the [UT S ystem B oard of 
R egents] m eets, a n d we need to be m o v in g q u ic k ly now ."

A lthough the adm inistration has stopped at giving students 
full appro v al pow er, H eg arty stressed the im portance of 
accountability to stu d en ts as well as in p u t from them.

"There are other w ays to save money, there are other ways to 
generate m oney and there are other people w ho have to share 
in this responsibility," H am m ond said. "The students are cer­
tainly a piece of it, and the fee is certainly a piece of it, but it is 
not the only answer. Right now, we feel that too m uch w eight is 
being given to this piece of the puzzle."

H am m ond added that the adm inistration needs to continue 
to explore other m ethods of raising revenue for the University.
"The presentation is convincing and the need is real," 
H am m ond said. "But the question remains, 'Is this stu d en ts' 
responsibility?"'

He also said the Board of Regents needs to review the new 
proposal in an honest, objective and critical m anner to deter­
m ine w h at will u ltim ately benefit the stu d e n ts and the 
University. The regents will vote in February on the proposal.

K athryn Morris, a m arketing junior who uses stu d en t loans 
to pay for school, said ad d in g a sum m er fee w ould just tack on 
m ore debt to an already large student loan bill. She said despite 
the fee's decrease, it is still unfair to students.

"The stud en ts should have a say in how' o u r m oney is spent," 

M orris said.

Enron collapse 
to energy prices

nation's energy trading or energy 
supplies" and spot electricity' prices 
were largely unchanged.

It would be wrong to think that 
Enron's collapse "sounds the death 
knell for competition," Wood told the 
Senate Energy and Natural Resources 
Committee.

But the committee's chairman, Sen. 
Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., said 
the 
Enron debacle demonstrates the need 
for requiring greater public disclosure 
of trading activities.

"As we evaluate how well the mar­
ket is working, we need to be clear 
here that electricity restructunng does 
said 
not mean deregulation," 
Bingaman.

Enron's complex system of trading 
in everything from electricity and nat­
ural gas contracts to so-called deriva­
tives — financial contracts used to 
hedge or speculate on a commodity 
— was conducted without close 
scrutiny from either federal or state 
regulators.

Bingaman said in an interview that 
a top priority should be enactment of 
laws requiring disclosure of energy 
transactions by private energy com­
panies. He said restructuring the elec­
tricity industry to end monopoly mar­
kets "does not mean deregulation."

Much of Enron's trading activities 
involved unregulated transactions — 
over-the-counter energy denvatives 
that Congress exempted in 2ÍXX1 from 
regulation by the Commodity Futures 
Trading Commission.

By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — While Enron's 
collapse has stunned investors, it has 
not damaged the nation's energy 
trading industry or energy supplies, a 
top federal regulator told a Senate 
hearing Tuesday.

But several senators questioned 
why on the day after Enron's bank­
ruptcy, long-term energy prices — 
so-called forward prices traded elec­
tronically and largely in secret by 
Enron — fell by nearly a third in the 
western power markets.

"That certainly raises questions 
about whether Enron was manipulat­
ing the West Coast market," said Sen. 
Ron Wyden, D-Ore.

But such transactions are exempt 
from federal regulation and do not fall 
under normal commodity exchanges, 
so they are conducted largely in 
secret— making it virtually impossible 
to gauge whether actual manipula­
tion occurred, witnesses told the sena­
tors.

Because of Enron's prominence in 
electronic energy trading, it "had enor­
mous ability to swing those forward 
[long-term] markets" and 
inflate 
prices, said Robert McCullough, an 
energy consultant whose clients 
include Northwest utilities.

He said the "very clear implica­
tion" of the sudden price drop in 
long-term power prices in the West on 
Dec. 3, a day after the Enron bank­
ruptcy, "is that Enron may have been 
using its market dominance to set for­
ward prices."

Pat Wood, chairman of 
Energy 

the 
Federal 
Regulatory 
Commission, said his agency will 
look into the price drop. But he 
emphasized that "the collapse of 
Enron has not caused damage to the

residents fleeing in panic.

being driven away.

Many victims apparently didn't realize how deep the 
water was and drowned when they ran and drove vehi­
cles into the Oke Afa drainage canal, witnesses said.

Rescue volunteer Ben Nwachukwu said more than 
200 bodies were pulled from just one part of the canal. 
Other volunteers said the death toll could be much 
higher, but gettjng an accurate count was difficult — 
in part because volunteer rescue workers were taking 
bodies to private homes.

An Associated Press reporter saw at least 35 corpses 
in the water, on the grass and in the backs of trucks

State Police Commissioner Mike Okiro told state 
television Tuesday that some people had been killed 
and injured w hile handling unexploded shells and 
other ammunition propelled by the blasts. In Isolo, 
some five miles from the weapons dump, an AP 
reporter saw one boy casually tossing in his hands 
what looked like a hand grenade.

Many children were separated from their families 
during Sunday night's panic, said Okiro. He said 
some children w ere being cared for at police stations 
until their families could be located.

LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigeria's president declared a 
national disaster on Tuesday after a series of explo­
sions at an army weapons depot in Lagos left at least 
600 dead, most of them women and children who 
drowned in a canal while trying to run away.

In a radio broadcast, President Olusegun Obasanjo 
said "over 600 bodies had been recovered," including 
many from the Oke Afa canal in the northern Isolo 
neighborhood of this dty of 12 millioa He said the 
dead were mostly women, young people and children.
"What happened in Lagos was a monumental 
tragedy," Obasanjo said, calling the deaths a "national 
disaster."

Lagos Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu blamed the 

deaths on military negligence, radio stations said.

The Vanguard newspaper of Lagos estimated that 
more than 2,000 people were killed. State television 
cited unnamed witnesses as saying between 750 and 
1,000 bodies had been recovered in various parts of the 
dty. The reports could not be independently confirmed.
Hundreds of bodies were pulled out of the canal in 
Nigeria's largest dty Monday after victims drowned 
Sunday night while trying to flee the explosions.

"Ikeja mortuary is filled; they have started to use 
other local government fadlities," Tmubu said in a 
state television broadcast. "It's a disaster. We did not 
antidpate it would rise to this level."

Army spokesman Col. Felix Chukwumah said the 
explosions began when a fire spread to the depot, 
which is surrounded by crowded slums and working- 
class neighborhoods. The blasts propelled shrapnel 
and shock waves for miles, shattering windows six 
miles away at the international airport and sending

Oil’s Well 
in Texas

Creating a lucrative business climate has always been 
the main focus of our time, energy and resources in Texas. 
We let corporations skip out on paying taxes while dum p­
ing higher property taxes — the only way we pay for edu­
cation in Texas — on the little guys.

The oil industry reigns supreme in a state that measures 
its worth by how much tax it doesn't collect from its busi­
nesses. But this industry in particular has worked hard to 
get the lofty perch it sits atop now. Specifically, through the 
purchasing of lawmakers and a series of quid pro quos, 
Big Oil has managed to carve out a healthy and hearty 
niche in Texas.

Take U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, who has 
spent her entire career lobbying to allow private oil and 
gas companies to drill on public land for free. Our own 
illustrious UT Regent Tony Sanchez made his fortune in 
the oil industry - a fortune with which he is now attempt­
ing to buy the governor's mansion.

Then there is President George W. Bush who is him self 
a product, torchbearer and cheerleader to the industry. 
Many in his Cabinet, such as Secretary of Commerce Don 
Evans, are longtime oil men like Bush. Even Sanchez, a 
huge fan of Bush but running for governor as a Democrat, 
has benefited from Bush's numerous accommodations to 
the industry. Incidentally, Sanchez is such a supporter of 
Bush that his bank contributed $100,000 to the Bush 
recount effort to defeat A1 Gore in Florida.

So it's not inconceivable to think that Bush and and 
other Texans have a soft spot in their hearts for oil and 
anyone involved with it when it com es time to craft pub­
lic policy. The oil and gas industry in itself is not a prob­
lem. Bereft of any technological advance, we are depend­
ent on it for our daily lives. The problem arises when those 
who make astronomical amounts of money in the oil 
patches — from ventures usually subsidized by the gov­
ernm ent — seek to employ undue influence on policies 
that affect every single American. And a more pressing sit­
uation arises when those requests are reciprocated in 
return for favors in any form.

As governor, Bush felt it necessary to ram an “em er­
gency" $150 million tax cut for oil and gas producers 
through the Legislature. This after it was discovered that 
Cheney just made a speech to his company, Halliburton, 
in which he boasted he had been to the Middle East and 
was reassured oil prices were going back up.

Yet, there were our esteemed leaders handing out our 
surplus to an industry that began seeing increases in prof­
it — to the tune of 300 percent — within the-year. Evans, 
whose oil company Tom Brown Inc. has significant hold­
ings in Colorado, made out like a bandit thanks to the gen­
erosity of Texas taxpayers. Sanchez' oil company also ben­
efited from that tax break. Sanchez himself is now worth 
somewhere in the neighborhood of $600 million.

More recently, Enron came calling to Bush when it was 
about to be exposed for the sham it is. The White House 
argues that nothing was done on behalf of Enron, so it did 
nothing wrong — nothing except sit on the news for three 
months that the seventh largest com pany in the world 
was a fraud. Ken Lay's $7(X),0(X) in contributions to Bush 
over the years bought a lot of things, silence was one of 
them.

Now comes the news that Halliburton was in financial 
turmoil after a deal Cheney brokered threatened to bank­
rupt Halliburton's oil field operations. The stock was 
down 73 percent over the last year but Cheney got out just 
in 
tim e to m ake a cushy $20 million. Suddenly, 
Halliburton stock shot up some 43 percent on the rumors 
that Bush was going to push for asbestos liability limita­
tions, the cause of Halliburton's downward spiral.

Som e will argue that this this campus was founded on 
oil money. Well, this fine university is in such poor finan­
cial shape that it is hoisting the largest student fee increase 
in its history on the backs of students to pay a portion of 
30-year-old repairs in the middle of a terrorist-induced 
recession. Meanwhile, Bush is president, Evans is in 
charge of the nation's economy, Halliburton has rebound­
ed nicely, Sanchez is still worth $600 million and the 
University that owes its existence to oil is falling apart.

Love that Texas oil.

Ia? Whal?

Nobody even knows 
what the truth is yet. 

The only thing I know; 100 
percent fo r sure, is that my 
husband is an honest, decent, 

moral hum an being who would 
do absolutely nothing wrong. 
That I know 100 percent. ”

Opinion

Six laws that could help end abortions

By Monty Markland
Daily Texan Columnist

On the right, anti-abortion activists raise 
clenched fists and jarring exhibits, making 
few friends and changing fewer minds. On 
the left, abortion rights activists ding to the 
absurd notion that abortion on demand is a 
remotely acceptable goal in a decent, 
humane society.

One side shouts for an end to all abor­
tion, immediately and forever, the other 
shouts back, calling for unfettered access 
now and always. Both goals, given the cur­
rently divided state of public opinion, an' 
equally unlikely.

Against the backdrop of this ideological 
tug-of-war, rational individuals m ust take 
action that will reduce the number of abor­
tions performed in our state.

We can all agree that then' should be 

fewer abortions.

Ideally, m en and women will take fur­
ther precautions against unwanted preg­
nancy. Realistically, our Legislature can 
enact significant new laws that would 
refine our treatment of the unborn.

What can be done?
The Texas Legislature should pass the six 

truly pro-life laws detailed below.

These half-dozen reasonable legal steps 
would elevate human life above the level of 
hardball abortion politics. These six new 
laws would provide more compassionate 
legal bounds within which the abortion 
debate would continue.

But before discussing solutions, 

let's 
review the court cases behind the contro­
versy.

Realistically, our Legislature can enact 
significant new laws that would refine 
our treatment o f the unborn.

sion, Roe v. Wade, guaranteed the right to 
an abortion — based upon the right to pn- 
vacy — up until the end of the first 
trimester o f a woman's pregnancy.

According to Roe, during the second 
trimester, a wom an has the right to end her 
pregnancy, but the state has a right to regu­
late the woman's choice, if the state can 
show a "compelling interest." Compelling 
interest is a relatively high legal standard.

In 1992, 

in Planned Parenthood of 
Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, the 
Court abandoned the "compelling state 
interest" standard, allowing states to impose 
abortion restrictions that do not "unduly 
burden" a woman's right to choose.

The "undue burden" hurdle is lower, 
and would allow for the enactment of the 
proposals herein.

Finally, during the third trimester, the 
state has the ability to proscribe all abor­
tions, without exception. Texas is one of 
manv states that enacted such a third- 
trimester proscription.

Texas should also be the first of many 
states to effectively address the issue of 
respect for human life through passage of 
the following six new laws.

form of Hippocratic Oath statute, requiring 
licensed medical practitioners to either sub­
scribe to a modernized version of the oath, 
or to post notice at their primary place of 
business disclosing their failure to sub­
scribe.

Such a modernized version of the oath 

could read substantially as follows:

"/ swear, that, according to my ability and 
judgm ent, I will keep this Oath and this 
covenant. I will folloiv that system o f regimen 
which, according to my ability and judgment, I 
consider for the benefit o f m y patients, and 
abstain from whatever is deleterious. I will not 
prescribe fatal doses to anyone i f asked, nor sug­
gest any such counsel; and in like manner I will 
not give to a woman an abortive remedy ... So 
help me G od. "

Second: The Legislature should pass an 
informed consent statute. Such a law 
would require that certain information 
regarding abortion be m ade available to a 
woman who is seeking an abortion at least 
24 hours prior to the procedure.

The 

required 

inform ation would 
include: a written sum m ary of the abortion 
procedure; depictions, illustrations or pho­
tographs of fetal development; prenatal 
information; parenting information; and

information regarding abortion alterna­
tives.

Third: Texas needs a working parental 
consent statute. Parents should have the 
absolute right to control the medical treat­
ment of their minor children, regardless of 
the political circumstances surrounding the 
child's condition.

Fourth: The rights of fathers must not be 
disregarded in the context of the debate on 
abortion. The Legislature should pass a 
spousal disclosure statute. Such a statute 
would require a pregnant woman to notify 
her husband of her intent to seek an abor­
tion at least 72 hours prior to the planned 
procedure. Judicial bypass, in a form simi­
lar to the current state parental notification 
statute, should be included so as to protect 
women with abusive spouses.

Fifth: The Legislature should pass a par­
tial birth abortion ban that would m eet con­
stitutional muster — i.e. a ban that includes 
an exception for the health of the mother.

Finally, the Legislature should, at the 
very least, enact a ban on "clone and kill" 
activities. Such activities would include the 
cloning and harvesting of fetus. A total ban 
on hum an cloning should be considered as 
well.

Passage of any single one of these pro­
life laws would decrease the num ber of 
unnecessary abortions in Texas. If the pub­
lic demanded passage of all six, then our 
great state would lead the march dow n the 
path to hum an dignity.

Sanitize this!

Fhe question I pose to Mr. Tolliver 
{Physician, heal thyself, Jan. 29) is what 
isn't offensive, racist, and bigoted? You 
cannot m ake a cartoon colorless, and 
sterile. How is a brunette talking to a 
blonde offensive? Is it hairest?

According to you r urge for censorship, 
I am w earing a C aucasian shirt, and 
A frican -A m erican pants, becau se the 
words black and white are offensive. 
People look different, so how do you 
draw them the sam e? A s stick figures I 
suppose. I do not defend T he Battalion for 
printing the cartoon, but w hat happened 
to the First Am endm ent? I should be able 
to sav w hatever I want, short of "fighting 
w ords," to anybody w ithout legal repri­
mand. T h is is true even if what I say is

not culturally, politically, or religiously 
correct. The Daily Texan cartoons do not 
portray the L onghorns as a bunch of 
"bigoted, alcoholic, sadistic sexists," but 
as free thinkers w ho are not afraid of the 
social consequences of w hat they print.

We are the products o f a free society, 
one that you seem so eag er to dismantle. 
In short Mr. Tolliver, you are a Stalinist 
thinker who w ants everyone to dress, 
talk, and write the w ay you want them 
to.

Words to the alumni

To Mr. K. Daniel Williamson, UT alum 
{A modest proposal, Jan. 29): None of us 
have any love for the captured Taliban 
soldiers in Cuba. But isn't it slightly hyp­
ocritical to speak of "roasting the m ur­
derers?" At the very least, a fair trial is 
called for. Remember, if w e sink to their 
level, then they have already won.

To Mr. C harles Tolliver, UT alum 
(Physician, heal thyself, Jan. 29): I enjoyed 
your subtle attem pt at satire in reference 
to the recent Texan View point pertaining to 
The Battalion. Unfortunately, it failed mis­
erably.

I know that you don't really have any 
problems with the Texan comics, but you 
should at least get you r facts straight 
(Joshua By'Gosh isn't a pseudonym and 
Salt o f the Earth really I S written by an 
Asian artist). P art of being an adult is 
making value decisions, and the editors 
have the right to make their ow n deci­
sions about w hat is offensive and what

isn't.

To A nnie Bradford Rispin, U T alum 

{Getting both sides, Jan. 29):

You state that m any pro-choice sup­
porters' have a “no com m en t" attitude 
tow ards the issues at hand in the abor­
tion debate, other than the d enounce­
m ent of the im ages involved. It is d early 
obvious that you have never taken the 
time to speak to som e of the rational, 
w ell-inform ed activists on the pro-choice 
side. For the vast m ajority of supporters, 
there are plenty of com m ents to be m ade 
if you were ju st willing to listen. As for 
the visuals them selves, the m ain objec­
tive for m ost people stem s from the use 
o f these pictures to "sh o ck " people into 
thinking the sam e way as you do. M aybe 
if you had solid and convincing argu­
m ents that had a basis on factual evi­
dence, you w ould n't need shocking pic­
tures to sw ay people's opinions.

O n a side note, in Tuesday's Texan there

enjoy the com ics greatly and appreciate

University
JFA display shrinks 
in stature, popularity

By Jennifer M ock
Daily Texan Staff

The Justice For All display on the West Mall is not 
only smaller in stature this year but also smaller in pop­
ularity, a JFA member said Tuesday.

Elisabeth Meyer, a social work graduate student and 
JFA administrative assistant, said students are not 
reacting as outwardly as they did last year because the 
display is much smaller this year and less obtnisive. 
Meyer said the group decided to bnng the smaller ver­
sion of last year's display because it is easier to manage 
and plan for.

"There is only one of the larger displays, so it was 
just easier to bring the smaller one since it will only be 
up for three days," she said. "Last year it took six 
months of planning to bring the larger one."

The display, which exhibits facts about abortion and 
pictures of aborted fetuses, stood 18 feet by 36 feet last 
year. This year, the display only stands 8 feet by 3 feet, 
said Jacob Burow, a member of the national JFA chap­
ter who travels around with the display.

Burow said the students' decline in reaction this year 
is pretty typical of other university's students the sec­
ond time it comes to their campus.

"I've noticed the second time around people are 
more subdued, and they aren't screaming anymore," 
he said. "We would rather have it like it was last year 
because when people are around and riled up, more 
people stop to talk and think about it. But this is about 
the effect we were expecting with the smaller display."
Burow said this year is more of a test year to deter­

mine the effectiveness of the smaller display.

"We are finding that it has less of an effect, and it 

lends more to peaceful protest," he said.

Meyer said she is uncertain what JFA will do next 
year in light of the decreased turnout this year, but the 
chapter will discuss their options in meetings following 
this week.

Chuck Kremerb, a physics senior and member of 
Action For Abortion Rights, said the crowd is smaller 
this year not only because the size of the display is 
smaller but also because the content was toned down 
to be less offensive this year.

"I think because it is smaller it is less shocking," he 
said. "A lot of UT students have been desensitized by 
the graphic images from last year."

Kremerb also said he thinks the turnout is lower this 
year because the display's West Mall location, where it 
is only one display among several groups in the area. 
Last year the display stood alone in front of Gregory 
Gym.

"People are used to ignoring things in the West 
Mall," he said. "I think the people knew that the dis­
play was coming this year so people can avoid it."

James Vick, vice president for student affairs, said he 
also believes less people are present at the display 
because more people were aw'are of its arrival this year. 
The University placed the exhibit in its "spotlights" 
section of its Web site to inform more students, Vick 
said.

"We tried to communicate with as many people as 
possible so people knew they were going to be here," 
he said. "Obviously we are pleased there is a more 
peaceful exchange of views this year. A lot of people 
were concerned about the atmosphere last year, and we 
worked really hard to try and change that this year."

Vick also said students were happy with the new 
location because it allowed room for the representation 
of any opinion on the issue.

"They are in a place now where we normally have 
these type of displays and there is a place close by 
where pro-choice people can set up tables with their 
views," he said.

Both anti-abortion and pro-choice groups will have 
speakers Wednesday, the last day of the exhibit, on the 
West Mall.

UHS to offer meningitis vaccinations 
to students, faculty after student death
University Health Services will offer walk-in 
meningitis vaccinations Wednesday and Thursday in 
response to the increased demand for the vaccine 
since the Jan. 22 death of a UT student, who appar­
ently died from the disease.

'With the death of the student last week, we had an 
overwhelming number of students calling in asking 
for the vaccine," said UHS assistant director Beth 
Bushey. 'We decided to have walk-in clinics so the 
students who wanted the vaccine could get it while the 
awareness of the disease is still fresh in their minds."

Joseph Slade Blackstock, an undeclared business 
junior, died from what appears to be bacterial menin­
gitis last week.

The vaccine, which is effective for three to five 
years, offers protection from four of the five most 
common bacterial strains of meningitis.

"The group of students that should perhaps most 
closely want to look at getting the vaccine are people 
who live in dorms or co-ops," she said.

UHS will administer the vaccinations from 1 p.m. 
to 4 p.m. on the second floor of the Student Services 
Building and will charge $65 for students presenting 
a valid UT ID and $75 for university faculty and staff.
Prompted by phone calls from local college and 
university students, UHS will allow students with 
valid IDs to attend the walk-in clinics for a $75 fee.

Nichols appointed to commercialize 
products, research developed by faculty
Steven P. Nichols, mechanical engineering profes­
sor, was appointed as associate vice president for 
research.

Nichols will oversee the commercialization, tech­
nology transfer and protection of intellectual proper­
ty belonging to campus-wide researchers, faculty 
and students.

Nichols, a UT alum, will be working closely 
with the University's Technology Licensing and 
Intellectual Property Office in transforming faculty 
and student research into usable products and by 
protecting the University's rights to these inventions.
"Over the last two years, 14 new companies were 
launched to commercialize UT Austin Technologies. I 
intend to build on this momentum in close collabora­
tion with the colleges and key research centers at the 
University," Nichols said in a statement.

Nichols has worked in research projects with 
NASA and developed activities supporting entre­
preneurship education and commercialization expe­
riences for students from the College of Engineering, 
the School of Law, School of Natural Sciences and the 
Red McCombs School of Business. Nichols has also 
developed courses and programs focusing on tech­
nology innovation and creativity within the College 
of Engineering.

Committee creates Tower lighting rules

By M elissa Thrallklll
Daily Texan Staff

The University accepted new guidelines 
this week that establish specific conditions 
for lighting the UT Tower, a 55-year-old tra­
dition.

UT President Larry Faulkner approved an 
ad hoc committee's recommendations for 
lighting the UT Tower, the campus's most 
recognized structure. Faulkner formed the 
Committee on Tower Guidelines, composed 
of faculty, staff and students, last February.

The committee was formed to decide 
when, how and why the University should

light the- Tower. UT officials received the 
report in May, said David Nancarrow, com­
mittee chairman.

Nancarrow said the lack of standards had 
caused confusion as for what occasions the 
University would light the Tower. Last year, 
Faulkner created the committee to change 
the outdated standards.

"Because there were no particular guide­
lines over the years, all manners of occasions 
and events had crept into the use of the light­
ing of the lower," Nancarrow said. "[There 
was] little rhyme or reason to it."

He said the committee members polled 
their variofts constituencies to gain insight

into how the UT community viewed the tra­
dition. The results showed that a majority 
thought the Tower lighting should be 
focused on UT events, rather than national 
events.

The committee also advised that the 
University change the way the Tower is lit to 
distinguish between athletic and academic 
.achievements and campus-wide accolades. 
While the committee recommended the 
University only light the Tower in recogni­
tion of ÚT events, the guidelines did leave 
room for the UT president to ust' his or her 
own discretion in unusual circumstances.

Christine Plonsky, senior associate athletic 
director, said the committee devel­
oped policies that will give a more

that 

added 

information on 

organized approach to lighting the Tower. 
She 
the 
University's Web site and information line 
will help inform the community' as to why 
the Tower is lit and what different lighting 
configurations mean.

Sarah DeGreen, a pre-med sophomore, 
said lighting the Tower is an important tradi­
tion because it shows the UT community that 
some group or person accomplished some­
thing special. She added that the lighting of 
the Tower should be used only for these 
types of events.

"If it's lit for every little thing," she said, 

"What's so great about that?"

City plans for new city manager

By Esther Wang
Daily Texan Staff

Austin City M anager Jesus Garza 
and Mayor Gus Garcia unveiled a plan 
earlier this week that they said will 
allow for a smooth transition when 
Garza leaves his position April 30.

The plan calls for Garza's successor 
to gradually assume more responsibili­
ty and duties until his formal resigna­
tion. He announced his resignation 
after eight years in office earlier this 
month.

The city m anager, 

sometimes 
referred to as A ustin's chief executive 
officer, oversees the creation of the 
budget, negotiates major projects such 
as new building construction and runs 
the city's day-to-day operations, said 
dty spokeswoman Patty Gonzales.

Under Austin's council-manager 
governmental system — in which the 
council develops policies that the man­
ager implements — the dty manager is

the single most powerful offidal, 
Gonzales said.

Garda said the plan that he and 
Garza crafted will assist Austin and its 
dty council in transitioning.

"An early dedsion on an acting dty 
manager will allow that person to work 
May 1," Garda said.

The council is likely to appoint an 
acting d ty manager at its meeting 
Thursday.

Garda hinted that the council would 
choose Deputy City Manager Toby 
Futrell as Garza's replacement.

"For the acting position, it more than 
likely will be someone who is in the 
dty," Garda said. "A national search 
would take much longer."

Several council members have also 
endorsed Futrell for the position, he 
added.

Garza said he created the position of 
deputy dty manager two years ago so 
that there would be someone to fill his 
post*if he ever left.

The next dty manager will have to 
address critical regional transportation 
issues including the proposed State 
Highway 130 and Gov. Rick Perry's 
newly-announced transportation plan.
Other issues include appropriating 
funds for homeland security, preparing 
for the upcoming Texas legislative ses­
sion, building a new convention center 
and dty hall, and working on the 
Mueller Airport redevelopment project.
But Garda said the impending budg­
et is the primary reason that Garza's 
replacement is needed as soon as possi­
ble.

"We're starting the budget process 
for fiscal year 2003, and if s going to be 
a very tight budget," Garda said.

Despite the many issues fadng the 
next dty manager, Garza believes he is 
leaving at the right time.

"I don't know if there's ever a good 
time," he said. "But at the end of the 
day, it's as good a time as any."

TEXAS HAZING STATUTE SUMMARY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN HAZING REGULATIONS

The 70th Texas Legislature enacted a new law concerning hazing. Under the law, individuals or organizations engaging in hazing could be subject to fines 

According to the law, a person can commit a hazing offense not only by engaging in a hazing activity, but also by soliciting, directing, encouraging, 
aiding or attempting to aid another in hazing; by intentionally, knowingly or recklessly allowing hazing to occur; or by failing to report first hand 
knowledge that a h azing incident is planned or has occurred in writing to the Dean of Students. The fact that a person consented to or acquiesced in a 
hazing activity is not a defense to prosecution for hazing under this law.

In an effort to encourage reporting of hazing incidents, the law grants immunity from civil or criminal liability to any person who reports a specific hazing 
event in good faith ancj w ith ou t malice to the Dean of Students or other appropriate official of the institution and immunizes that person from partici­
pation in any judicial proceeding resulting from that report. Additionally, a doctor or other medical practitioner who treats a student who may have been 
subjected to hazing m ay make a good faith report of the suspected hazing activities to police or other law enforcement officials and is immune from civil 
or other liability that m igh t otherwise be imposed or incurred qs a result of the report. The penalty for failure to report is a fine of up to $1,000, up to 180 
days in jail, or both. Penalties for other hazing offenses vary according to the severity of the injury which results and include fines from $500 to $10,000 
and/or confinement for up to two years.

UNIVERSITY DISCIPLINARY RULES
This law does not affect or in any way limit the right of The University to enforce its own rules against hazing. Rules and R egulations of the Board of 
Regents of The U n iv e rs it y o f Texas System, Part One, Chapter VI, Sections 3.6 and 3.7, provide that
(a) 

Hazing with or w ith ou t the consent of a student is prohibited by the System, and a violation of that prohibition renders both the person inflicting 
the hazing and the person submitting to the hazing subject to discipline.
Initiations and activities by organizations may include no feature which is dangerous, harmful, or degrading to the student, and a violation of this 
prohibition renders both the organization and participating individuals subject to discipline.

Assigning pranks such as stealing, painting objects, harassing other organizations;
Intentionally m e ssin g up the house or a room for clean up;
Demeaning names;

Yelling and scream ing; and

HAZING
The law defines hazing as any intentional, knowing, or reckless act, occurring on or off the campus of an educational institution, by one person alone or 
acting with others, directed against a student, that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of pledging, being 
initiated into, affiliating with holding office in, or m aintaining membership in any organization whose members are or include students at an educational 

institution. Hazing in clud es but is not limited to:
A. 

any type of p hysical brutality, such as whipping, beating, striking, branding, electronic shocking, placing of a harmful substance on the body, or 
similar activity;
any type of p hysical activity such as sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, confinement in a small space, calisthenics, or other Activity that 
subjects the stud ent to an unreasonable risk of harm or that adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student;
any activity in v o lv in g consumption of food, liquid, alcoholic beverage, tiquor, drug, or other substance which subjects the student to an 
unreasonable risk o f harm or which adversely affects the mental or physical health of the student;
any activity that intim idates or threatens the student with ostracism, that subjects the student to extreme mental stress, shame, or humiliation, or 
that adversely affects the mental health or dignity of the student or discourages the student from pntering or remaining registered in an educational 
institution, or th a t may reasonably be expected to cause a student to leave the organization or the institution rather than submit to acts described 

in this subsection;
any activity th a t induces causes, or requires the student to perform a duty or task which involves a violation of the Penal Code.

4 escapees still at large

By Sarah Shipley
Daily Texan Staff

Law enforcem ent agencies are co ntinuing the 
search for four inm ates who escaped from a N orth 
Texas jail M onday night.

With a hom em ade knife, two of the inm ates 
forced tw o M ontague C ounty Jail gu ard s to release 
the other two inm ates. All of the escapees have 
either been convicted of or charged w ith capital 
m urder.

M ontague D istrict A ttorney Tim Cole said the 
in m ates are co n sid ered d an g ero u s, an d 
law 
enforcem ent agencies are searching for them in 
su rro u n d in g counties and along the O klahom a 
border.

"There are about 15 to 20 law enforcem ent ag en ­
cies involved in the search from the local police 
dep artm en ts to the FBI," Cole said.

C urtis Gambill and Joshua Bagwell are serving 
life sentences for the 1996 m u rd er of an O klahom a 
high school cheerleader, H eather Rich.

The Associated Press reported that the victim, 
her form er boyfriend R andy Wood, Bagwell and 
Gambill sp ent a night together, involving alcohol 
and sex, in B agw ell's travel trailer. The three men 
said they grew w orried th at Rich w ould accuse 
them of rape so they took her to a nearby bridge 
and shot her nine times.

Gambill was sentenced to his first life term in 
1997 on m u rd er charges. Prior to his escape, he 
was being held at the M ontague C ounty Jail w here 
he was sentenced to a second life term for m u rd er 
conspiracy. Cole said he refiled the conspiracy 
charges because Gam bill did not hold up his end

tw o 

inm ates, C h ry stal Soto and 
C harles Jordan, w ere each charged w ith two counts 
of capital m u rd er for allegedly killing an elderly 
couple. They were arrested in November, two days 
after the bodies of John C hristm as, 76, and his wife 
Ullain C hristm as, 79, were found on their property, 
The A ssociated Press reported. Soto and Jordan, 
who had been living on the C hristm as' property, 
were aw aiting trial in the M ontague jail.

Bruce M artin, who represented Gambill in his 
capital m u rd er case and now represents Jordan, 
said he has placed an o ff-d u ty police officer at his 
office for protection.

"I co n sid er C u rtis G am bill very d an g e ro u s 
because I know w hat he is capable of," M artin said. 
"A bout one hour after the breakout, my m other 
received a call from an excited young man who 
w anted to talk to me and know where I was. It 
could be a coincidence, b u t we are taking an o v er­
abundance of caution."

The jail failed to receive its certification from the 
Texas C om m ission on Jail S tandards in O ctober 
2001. The TCJS inspects jails once a year to m ake 
sure they m eet certain requirem ents.

"There are som e 600 item s th at we check for," 
said TCJS Executive D irector Terry Julian. "If they 
have no deficiencies, we give them certification. If 
they do, we p u t them on special watch and check 
back once a m onth."

Julian said the M ontague C ounty Jail w ould have 

been up to standards at the tim e of the breakout.

"They had met the stan d ard s they needed to," he 
said. "But we h av en 't gotten an inspector back out 
there yet to give them the certification."

Global Crossing files lor bankruptcy in large corporate failure

NEW YORK — 

Investors still 
stunned by the swift financial plunges 
by Houston-based Enron Corp. and 
Kmart Corp. got more bad new s as 
( ilobal Crossing Ltd. filed for bankrupt­
cy in i me c4 the largest corporate failures

According t<> its filing in U.S. bank­
ruptcy court, Global Crossing counted 
$22 I billion in assets. By comparison, 
the assets of retailer Kmart, which 
declared bankruptcy last week, stood 
just over 516.3 billion.

The N ew York Stock Exchange 
trading in the 
im m ediateh halted 
share of the Bermuda-based company, 
\ hich spoilt billions building a world­
wide fiber-optic network only to see 
bandwidth demand w ither.

As the dot-com bubble lost air, 
investors dum ped holdings in Global 
( tossing deciding it was overindebted. 
Now, shareholders could be left with 
worthless stock.

Telemedia, intended to p u m p life 
into the faltering company as it seeks 
court protection from creditors who 
are ow ed som e $12.4 billion.

The investment, which hinges on 
court approval of the bankruptcy reor­
ganization by September, would give 
the two Asian partners a majority stake 
in Global Crossing.

The terms of Global Crossing's pro­
posed reorganization would leave cur­
rent shareholders holding worthless
stock.

"They're sacrificing their sharehold­
ers to satisfy the need to reduce-debt, so 
they can continue to operate," said 
Berge Ayvazian, a telecom industry 
analyst with the Yankee Group.

The company said it would continue 
to sell voice and data services over its 
network during the restructuring peri­
od. Employees will receive pay and 
benefits without interruption.

"With this restructuring, we'll put 
financial uncertainty behind us," said 
CEO John Legere.

In recent months, Global Crossing —

which owns a massive undersea fiber­
optic network connecting 220 cities in 
27 countries — has slashed more than a 
quarter of its work-force, as it reported 
third-quarter 2001 losses of $3 84 per 
share.

Most employees cut last year were 
involved in laying the company's fiber­
optic network, w hich has since been 
completed, an official said.

Global Crossing, which has some 
8,000 employees, said it has no plans for 
further job cuts.

The company's debt stems mainly 
from the construction of its network but 
also from acquisition of five other 
telecommunications-related firms in
1999 and 2000.

 Students, employers find matches at job fai

By Neaha Rad
Daily Texan Staff

More than 4,000 people came to Austin's first Public Sector 
Job Fair Friday, which showcased employment opportunities 
in 48 government agencies and University departments.

The job fair, held at the Frank C. Erwin Center, was the 
result of a partnership between the University and Greater 
Austin at Work, a regional work force initiative.

Vanessa Martin-Serria, a City of Austin Health and 
Human Services Department representative, said because 
positive feedback on the job fair has been so overwhelming, it 
will now be an annual event.

"Job seekers appreciate that we've come together and 
given them the chance to investigate what jobs are available 
in one place," Martin-Serria said. "Recruiters appreciate that 
we have a cost-effective venue."

Each agency paid a $350 fee to have a booth at the fair.
Richard Bums, assistant director for the University's 
Human Resource Services, said the dramatic change in the

“Job seekers appreciate that we’ve come together to investigate what 
jobs are available in one place. Recruiters appreciate that we have a cost- 
effective venue.”

— Vanessa Martin-Serria, 
Health and Human Services representative

economy was one reason for holding the job fair.

"In the past, government agencies had to compete with the 
dot-coms and other rapidly growing companies," Bums said. 
"Now, working for the government is appealing and attrac­
tive to people because of its stability."

Martin-Serria said the dty, county, state, federal agencies 
and the University would be more useful by creating an 
alliance.

"We thought if we collaborated, worked together, pooled 
our resources, we could help the community by addressing 
the 20,000 layoffs we've recently had," Martin-Serria said.

The University has 150 openings in 11 departments, includ­
ing the general libraries, UT Internal Audits, Office of 
Accounting, UT Physical Plant and UT M.D. Anderson 
Cancer Center. Openings range from service and trade to 
technology and managerial positions.

"We have a need for talented people in the work force, so 
we come showcase our jobs," Bums said. "For a lot of people 
who are unemployed, we offer hope and opportunity."

UT alumna Karen Wei left the University last May with a 
degree in Management Information Systems and took a job 
with Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Her September start date was

deferred to April, when the company will reevaluate its i - 1 d 
and decide if they have the resources to bring in new empk >y 
ees.

Wei said she felt the job fair could have been more gt <hcu 

towards a younger group.

"I didn't think it was a good fit for students or recent g r. 
; 
uates because all of the agencies were looking for people w! u 
already have a lot of experience, and the few jobs that v n 
entry level were for administrative, secretarial positions. Wei 
said.

However, Bums said the recruiters are looking for peoj. ■ 

from all walks of life.

"This job fair is more geared towards the work force in tin 
local Austin area," Bums said. "Because of the time it's being, 
held, [the job fair is] not particularly for students."

Wei said this job fair was very different from most oth >rs
"The other job fairs have companies come looking for peo 
pie who are in school," Wei said. "Then there is more pre am * 
to make a good impression because you are competing with 
other students."

Without a clear direction in life, you’re just spinning your wheels. Whether it’s knowing 
what freeway exit to use, or knowing what career option to take, having a Vision and a 
plan can help get you to your goals. The Highlands Program can point you in the right 
direction.
What Makes People Successful?
Research has consistently shown that nothing is more predictive of success and 
satisfaction than having a Personal Vision for your life and career.
A Personal Vision Predicts Success
With a Personal Vision, you can be clear with yourself, your family and friends about 
exactly what is important to you and why; how you can best spend your time and energy 
(and what is a total waste of your energy and time); how you want to set your priorities 
and why; and what your long-range goals are. You can focus on things that really matter to 
you, and not spend so much energy and time on things that don’t.
How The Highlands Program Works
The fundamental knowledge you need before making and major life decision is: “What 
am I naturally good at?” In The Highlands Program, you take a battery of tests, including 
tests of spatial abilities, reasoning abilities, design abilities, and many more. By isolating 
abilities, the tests often reveal talents and abilities previously undiscovered.
The Bottom Line
The Highlands Ability Battery takes about 4.5 hours, and reveals your innate, natural 
talents. After that, a 2 hour individualized feedback session is given by a Licensed 
Psychologist, who helps you interpret and apply these results in order to develop a 
Personal Vision and a career direction.
It’s Time!

Study: News relied 
on opinion, not fact

Sept. 11 aftermath coverage lacking, report says

By Melissa Thrallklll
Daily Texan Staff

As months passed after the Sept. 11 
attacks, news outlets relied more on inter­
pretations and opinions rather than fact 
when reporting the aftermath, according to 
a report released earlier this week.

stories 

To assess the variation in news coverage, 
the Project for Excellence in Journalism 
evaluated 2,4% newspaper, television and 
m agazine news 
from m id - 
September, m id-N ovem ber and m id - 
December. Each statement or assertion in 
the stories was classified as either fact, an 
analysis that could be attributed to report­
ing, or an unattributed opinion or specula­
tion.

The report found that more than 75 per­
cent of all news coverage was factual in the 
days following the attacks. By November, 
the report states that coverage grew more 
analytical as factual reporting fell to 63 per­
cent.

Bob Jensen, an associate journalism pro­
fessor, said the structure of the analysis was 
overall flawed. He said researchers treated 
facts as if they "just sort of drop out of the 
air and are obvious," instead of evaluating 
who selected the facts and which facts the 
various news organizations chose to pres­
ent.

Which facts get reported, Jensen said, is 

the more important issue.

The report gave several reasons for the 
shift in coverage, a ting mostly governmen­
tal restrictions. The less information news 
outlets have, the report said, the more likely 
journalists will rely on interpretations.

The researchers also noted the difference 
between print and television news sources. 
They concluded that 82 percent of print 
accounts were factual, compared with 57 
percent of television stories.

Brian Benschoter, general manager of 
News 8 Austin, a 24-hour local cable news 
channel, said broadcast media tends to dif­
fer from print for many reasons. News 8 has 
an even harder time, he said, since it focus­
es mostly on local angles.

"Because our mission is to be local, if s 
hard to get super, super deep," he said. 
"What has been said by administrative offi­
cials ... tends to be much more limited in 
scope with not much detail or analysis."

Jensen said people should not rely on tel­
evision news for a serious discussion of 
complex issues, nor should they rely on 
strictly one news outlet. Instead, to get all 
the facts and interpretations of events, the 
public should turn to a variety of news 
sources.

"At this point in history, you have to read 
widely and critically," he said. "You have to 
look at an event from different points of 
view."

Jam ahn Lee, a 

second-year Latin 
American studies graduate student, said 
coverage of the war has died dow n tremen­
dously since December. He also said he 
could see how the public could blur facts 
and interpretations w hen getting its news.

He added that television news reporters 
are perceived sometimes as authoritative 
figures, causing some people to take w hat 
they say as the "gospel truth."

"You have to check things out for your­

self," he said.

Sm ith said she u n d e rsto o d "that dog" to 
m ean either Bane o r H era, the tw o presa 
canarios ow ned by neig h b o rs Robert Noel and 
M arjorie Knoller. The couple have been 
charged in W hipple's death last January.

The victim was carrying groceries to her San 
Francisco ap artm en t w hen she was attacked

The trial was transferred to Los Angeles d u e 
to extensive publicity in San Francisco. Jury 
selection is scheduled to resume next week.

Smith said that w hen she got hom e from 
w ork the day of the earlier incident she saw' 
m arks but n o broken skin on W hipple's left 
hand. She said W hipple told her N oel w as 
present w hen the d o g bit her.

She said W hipple recounted telling Noel, 
"You need to control your dog," but th at he 
"just stood there and did nothing."

Prosecutor Jim H am m er said the ju d g e's

attorney, N e d ra Ruiz, said Smith's statem ents 
were too sp e c u la tiv e to be evidence "so crucial 
to the allegations."

The judge la te r closed the hearing to the 
public w hen a n ex p ert began previewing testi­
mony about a p riso n gang accused of running 
a dog b reed in g ring. Bane and Hera were 
among the d o g s.

Knoller is c h arg ed with second-degree m u r­
der, involuntary m a n s l a u g h t e r a n d ow ning a 
vicious dog th a t caused harm. She faces u p to 15 
years in p riso n if convicted. Noel is charged 
with m a n sla u g h te r and lesser charges that 
could bring u p to four years in prison.

Bane w as killed immediately after the fatal

Daily Texan Staff

In e v e ry facet of society, there 
exists o n e person w h o eclipses all 
others at what he does. Michael 
Jordan and Bill G ates all proved 
th e m s e lv es better than o th ers in 
their respective fields. In the world 
is another 
of pornography, there 
Ron that sta nd s head and shoulders 
above the rest, a living legend, a 
household name, Ron Jeremy.

For o v er 20 years, Ron Je re m y has 
been the biggest star in po rn o g ra­
phy and will remain so until he 
quits. Je re m y has been in m ore than 
1,600 film s and has directed over 
100. His n a m e litters the inform a­
tion s u p e rh ig h w ay as well as the 
radio w aves. It was only natural 
that so m e o n e should w a n t to tell 
the story of Ron Jerem y on film. 
This finally happened w h en film­
maker Scott Gill approached Ron 
Jerem y's people with the concept of 
Porn Star: T he Legend o f Ron jerem y.

" S o m e e x e c u tiv e s , re a lly good 
guys w h o 'v e done som e great work, 
ap p ro a ch e d me, and I said, 
'n o 
way.' You know what an E! True 
H ollyw ood S tory does for a career. I 
thought about it and figured that I 
don't have anything to be worried 
about, b u t 
that o n e b ig w o olly 
m am m oth skeleton in the closet. So 
we did 
it," Jerem y said groggily, 
recovering from a hectic schedule 
this past w eek that has taken him 
from S a c ra m e n to to N ashville to 
Las Vegas doing e v e ry th in g from 
photo sh o o ts to lectures — all with­
out the aid o f drugs or alcohol.

The d o cu m e n ta ry not only cap­
tures the life of Ron Jeremy, the 
porn star, but the life o f Ron Jeremy, 
the icon. His hectic days are d ep ict­
ed with his seem ingly e n d le ss train 
of photo shoots, films and 
inter­
views. Even tired, the surprisingly 
friendly Je re m y has time for humor. 
When asked how 
it is (the 
film), he dead pans, "N i n e and a 
half in ch es."

the porn w orld 

e c h e lo n s of 
to 
becom ing the household name he is 
today. There are som e things in this 
docum entary that captu re a side of 
Je remy that ca n 't be seen in any of 
his films. For instance, Ron Jerem y 
began his career in education.

"I went to school for six years and 
led a life as a schoolteacher. I got a 
m aste r's degree in special ed," said 
the star of R um p R eam ers.

it 

The film reveals Je re m y 's history, 
as well as his fame. It tracks his pre­
porn days g ro w ing up in a Jew ish 
m iddle-class fam ily in Q ueens, NY, 
to his education days. W hile his life 
before porn w as interesting, 
is 
Je re m y 's status as the figurehead of 
the porn industry that has m ad e 
him w h o he 
is today. Porn S tar 
reveals that his girlfriend sent a pic­
ture of him to Playgirl and, as a 
result, he g ot a h u ge resp onse. 
"T h at was the catapult to his porn 
career. Fie got sick and 
tired of 
standing in lines of thousands to try 
to o b ta in a sm all part w hen he 
could headline a porn role," said 
Kirt Eftekhar, 
the d o c u m e n ta r y 's 
producer.

While all of this is extremely inter­
esting to filmgoers and Jeremy's fans, 
the star of Blowjob A dventures o f Dr. 
Fellatio d oe sn 't want to see his life 
story played ou t again.

"It bored me, put me to sleep. I 

went through it once already."

O ne of the film 's stranger aspects 
is Je re m y 's fam ily's reaction to the 
career path that he has chosen.

"T h e y were all fine with it. My 
whole fam ily really is," said the star 
of A nal Jeopardy.

the p o rn 

The d o cu m en ta ry seem s to have 
com e at a pivotal point in the life of 
the star of H u m pkin Pie. Je rem y has 
been in the process, ov er the past 
few years, of e x p a n d in g his h ori­
zo n s b e y o n d 
industry. 
Besides doing a n u m b e r of m usic 
vid eo s, Je r e m y has ap p e a re d 
in 
H ollyw oo d film s like O rgazm o and 
R eindeer G am es and is set to have an 
appearance in the Bret Easton Ellis 
adaptation, The Rules o f A ttraction. 
This is a m ovie that both he and his 
family accept.

"I don't want to just lie back and be a 
I want to keep 
fam ous pornstar. 
cu rre n t w ith the ad ults an d see 
w hat they're doing. I will do more 
m ovies and m usic videos. I'm g oing 
to be in Fast Sofa with Je nnifer Tilly 
and Eric Roberts and N ight o f the 
G olden E agle starring Jam es C a an ."

Part of the im petus for Je re m y 's 
renewed push toward H olly w oo d 
success com es from Porn S tar itself.
"O n e thing I hate about the d o c u ­
m entary is w hen rny sister says, 'H e 
does a lot of extra w o rk ,'" said the 
star o f C ream M y M elons, " I 'v e had a 
lot of goo f parts in m a jo r motion 
pictures, so I just cringe w hen they 
say that."

Jerem y is not making his first trip 
w ith P orn S tar 
to A u s tin . Both 
Jerem y and the film were here last 
M arch for fhe Sou th by S o u th w es t 
Film Festival where Porn S tar w as 
greeted as a rousin g success. It sold 
out so fast, in fact, that a second 
night of screening was necessary.

T h is .tim e , however, Je re m y will 
not be com in g to see m ovie buffs

and critics, but som e of his core 
fans, 
the p e op le w h o w atch his 
movies religiously — college s tu ­
dents.

"C olle ge kids are the M TV g e n e r­
ation. I've been in tw o Kid Rock 
videos, 11 m u sic videos overall. I 
tw o of them . T h e y 'v e 
p ro d u c e d 
seen my stuff, and they're the b est 
a ud ience to have — they'll grow up 
to y ou ," said the star of What's a 
N ice G irl l ike You D oing in an A nal 
M ovie?

So, how do fans react, w h en they 
get to see the "h e d g e h o g " in p e r­
son?

"S h e e r disgust. T hey hurl. Ju st 
kidding, they're u s u a lly very nice," 
chuckled the star o f C ock Sm okers.

With all his time being spent on 
feature length films, photo shoots, 
speeches and personal appearances, 
does the gre atest porn star alive 
have any idea w h en he will quit?

"I'll be d oing this for a w h ile," 
said the star of P h ilm ore Butts G oes to 
H ollyw eird, "B u t if I w ake up one 
day and find a penis un der the pil­
low, I'll have to retire."

Erskin and the inside game have 
given the Longhorns that balance, 
despite his insistance that he is not 
an offensive presence.

"I've always been confident in my 
offense, but my job is to play defense 
and rebound," Erskin said.

The junior, Erskin, is playing his 
first season at Texas. He played two

years at North Texas — averaging 
18.9 ppg as a sophomore in 1999- 
2000 — then transferred to Texas in 
the fall of 2000. He had to sit out last 
season under NCAA transfer rules.

Freshman
vaults KSU 
in Big 12
Wildcats improve 
after dism al 2001

By Darren W. Dummit
D aily Texan Staff

A year after going 2-14 in conference 
play the Kansas State women's basketball 
team is perched comfortably atop the 2002 
Big 12 standings with a 7-1 record. Without 
discrediting the returning Wildcat starters, 
the difference is clearly the newcomers.

1 )ne of th ose newcomers, freshman 
trd I auric Koehn, turned in a perform- 
ct last w eek that captured the Big 12

Newcomer of the Week award and vault­
ed her team into the No. 9 spot in the AP 
poll.

By going 7-9 from three-point land, 
Koehn averaged 17 points in the two 
Wildcat victories, including a 20-point per­
formance against No. 13 Texas Tech that 
was her seventh 20-plus output this sea­
son.

As Koehn is a new face in this year's Big 
12 picture, B aylor senior guard Sheila 
Lambert w as a new face in last year's Big 
12. picture.

1 .arnbert, the 2001 Big 12 Newcomer of 
the Year, led the Bears to their biggest win 
last season ov er No. 14 Texas with 26 
points. In tw o games last week, Lambert 
averaged 22 points, six assists, five steals 
and three rebounds.

For her efforts, Lambert was named Big 
12 Player of the Week, and her team got the 
No. 10 spot in the AP poll.

The Missouri Tigers are clawing their 
way up the Big 12 standings — hopefully 
into the top 2 r> — but after three consecu­
tive blowout losses against Baylor, Texas 
and Colorado, the Tigers are in a virtually 
must-win situ ation Wednesday facing

Forward Erskin fills role as 
rebounder with scoring touch

By Jonathan Green
Daily Texan Staff

Erskin 

eginald 
has 
Longhorn roots. The six-foot 
six-inch, 218-pound power 
forward's cousin is former 
Texas star Kris Clack. But Erskin 
likens his play to another former 
Longhorn.

"I'm the Sonny Alvarado of years 
past," Erskin said. "I get the garbage 
points."

Alvarado played for Texas from 
1994-%, and averaged 12.6 points 
and 8.2 rebounds per game.

Since cracking the starting lineup 
in place of injured forward Chris 
Owens, Erskin has begun to fill the 
void of the Wooden Award candi­
date. He will start Wednesday for 
Texas (14-5, 5-1 Big 12) when it faces 
Kansas State (7-10,1-5) in Manhattan, 
Kan.

Erskin said he focuses on rebound­
ing and playing defense, but he has 
begun scoring the past two games, 
getting 14 points against Texas A&M 
and 15 versus Baylor.

"What we want from Deginald is 
his rebounding and his post defense," 
Texas head coach Rick Barnes said. 
"W hat he has given us offensively is a 
bonus. He might be our best low post 
scorer because he gets down, and he 
wants it. Even though he's under­
sized, he's quick."

Erskin averages 9.5 ppg in confer­
ence play, and — like Alvarado — he 
has done so with tip-ins and putbacks 
from missed shots. The sudden scor­
ing surge he has provided helps, 
given 
the 
Longhorns' leading scorer with 15.8

that Owens w as

Since Erskin only saw limited time 
in nonconference play, he has the 
chance to sneak up on teams that key

Noteworthy: After jumping

Texas dropped out of the 
AP’s most recent poll after 
a 80-74 loss to Texas A&M.

"M ost guys focus on keeping 
James off die boards, and there I am 
to dean it up," Erskin said.

Erskin may have to carry a greater 
load against K-State, since Thomas 
sprained his left ankle in practice on 
Monday. He 
is questionable for 
tonight's game.

The benefit of having a player like 
T.J. Ford at point guard will still help 
Erskin. Barnes said the dribble pene­
tration Texas gets from Ford causes 
defenses to collapse on him, leaving 
the post players open for easy buck­
ets.

T m just fortunate enough to get 
touches," Erskin said. "T.J's getting 
me the ball, and I'm scoring, but my 
main job is to play defense and 
rebound.

"Everyone is collapsing on T.J., and 

it's leaving me and James open."

The upstart post combination has 
been vital for Texas, since the team fell 
into a three-point shooting lull.

the Wildcats are now sitting pretty atop 
the league at the mid-season mark, tied

for 

Ohlde helped the Wildcats to a 72-63 
upset victory over the Horns last season, 
when she was named 2001 Big 12 
Freshman of the Year.

"Ohlde is a great player, and we had a 
lot of trouble with her last year," Cook 
said. "She was a huge difference in our 
loss against them last year. She's grown 
tremendously with her skills ... but you 
can't double team her because they have 
shooters."

Koehn and Wecker have together 
been named Big 12 Rookie of the Week a 
total of five times this season — Koehn 
holds the honor three times and Wecker

two times. Koehn missed all of last sea­
son with a foot injury.

"I was expecting them to really make 
a move last year because I knew how 
good Ohlde and Koehn were, but the 
glitch was that Koehn had an injury that 
caused her to redshirt," Texas head 
coach Jody Conradt said. "I don't know 
if there's another post player in the coun­
try that can do what Ohlde can do."

Although the Wildcats' success has 
come as a surprise to most, Conradt has 
been expecting it for a long time.

"It appears to the world that it was an 
overnight thing, but in m y mind it 
w asn't," Conradt said. "It started with 
Ohlde, and each year they have built 
with a piece."

Texas' freshmen this season have also

After remodeling 

the Frank 
Myers Field recently to install new 
locker rooms, offices and skyboxes, 
head coach Mike Clark and Kansas 
State will be looking to use their 
updated stadium to yield a greater 
homefield advantage. That should 
help a team that missed what 
would have been its first-ever Big 
12 tournament appearance by only 
one and a half games.

Junior outfielder Pat Maloney, 
who led the team in home runs last 
season, should aid the Wildcats in 
their push toward post-season play.
"We have a good nucleus of 
players back that were big contrib­
utors for us over the last half of our 
season when we won 15 of our 20 
last games and did some really nice 
things," said Clark, entering his 
17th season as head coach. "We're 
hoping these returning players will 
be able to help our new players 
understand what it takes to com­
pete at this level."

23 newcomers to the ranks of the

The offseason has not been all 
positive for the Wildcats. Their 
pitching ace Luke Robertson 
signed a major league contract one 
day before school started.

Six pitchers return to the squad 
though! which should help offset 
Robertson's departure.

"We've had good individuals, but 
we've never had great depth," said 
Clark. "Now we're going to start to 
have it, develop that depth."
