The proposal — based on a pilot program started this summer at the University of Texas at El Paso — w ould allow u n d erg rad u ates at Texas public universities to enroll in a 12-week session exposing them to the in tricacies of atten d in g law school. Michael Sharlot, dean of the UT School of Law, and Gerald Torres, associate dean for student affairs at the law school, sent members of the Texas H ouse H ig h er E d u catio n C om m ittee a p roposal last week asking them to duplicate the pro­ gram at sch ools th ro u g h o u t the state. Sharlot said the creation of such a program could increase racial diver­ sity at the state's law schools. "W e believe that it can [increase diversity] because w e're reaching out to students that may have never aspired to a legal career," Sharlot said. T exas law sch ools h ave seen lower minority enrollment figures sin ce the 1996 H opw ood ruling, which effectively ended affirmative action at Texas public colleges and u n iv ersities that receiv e federal funding. Sharlot said he wrote the commit­ tee members that the program could make for a better pool of law school applicants in Texas. "W e urge them to consider this as a very promising avenue not just for UT law school, but to increase com­ petitive applications at all the law schools in the state," Sharlot said. But the program will not get off its fe e t w ith o u t fu n d in g , w h ich Sharlot and Torres are lobbying the state to provide. The funding for the UTEP pro­ gram — which cost approximately $50,000 — went to support stipends for the 30 stud ents in the course who were unable to work due to the required attendance. Several institutions footed the bill for the UTEP program , including the UT law school, the UT System, a number of other Texas law schools, and the Texas C ollege of P robate Judges. T h e p ro g ram is d esig n ed to im prove w riting skills and Legal Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, and to introduce methods of teaching in law school. Students are also intro­ duced to w hat life is like in law firms and courts.

HPNA's plan includes installing stop signs, traffic circles and tex- tured pavements at various intersec­ tions in the Hyde Park and Hancock neighborhoods. The proposal would also add a chicane — a series of staggered points — and speed cush­ ions on many streets. Kevin Watts, a mechanical engi­ neering and Plan II senior who lives in the H yde P ark area, "said he strongly supports the proposal. "Sometimes we have to get down to the nuts and bolts of good urban design to get the livable city we want," Watts said. The plan is part of a traffic-calm­ ing pilot p ro gram sponsored by A u stin 's D ep artm en t of Public Works and Transportation. It deals specifically with the area between 38th and 45th streets and between Guadalupe and Red River streets. Hyde Park is one of five neigh­ borhoods in Austin to receive a por­ tion of the $500,000 allotted for this program. The traffic circles will be placed in four intersection^ — including two on A v en u e B and tw o on 42nd Street — and will consist of a raised la n d sca p ed islan d p laced in the middle of the intersection. The chi­ cane will be placed on Park Avenue b etw ee n B arro w and C a sw e ll avenues. S u zee B ro o k s, co -p re sid e n t of H PN A , said m any o f the tra ffic devices, such as the chicane and the tra ffic circles, are re la tiv ely new attem pts to control traffic in area neighborhoods. "W e are testing different devices th a t w e h a v e n 't u sed b e fo re in Austin," Brooks said. The devices were chosen not only for their practical value, but also for th e ir a e sth e tic v alu e, said Jo an Hudson, a traffic engineer for the Austin Department of Public Works TRA FFIC /Page 2 CRIsis/Page 2 Georges continues to pummel Gulf coast states Associated Press GULFPORT, Miss. — The Gulf C oast groaned under the fury of Hurricane Georges, which moved ashore with 126 mph gusts early today as it spewed wind and rain from the F lo rid a P an h an d le to L o u isian a. N ew O rlean s, m ean ­ w hile, h op ed it had d od g ed a drenching bullet. The storm ripped most of the roof off a community college gymnasi­ um that was sheltering 404 people in the coastal town of Gautier, forc­ ing everyone to find refuge else­ where on campus, said Hank Turk, civil defense director for Jackson County. In Pascagoula, a possible tornado d am aged the ro o f at T ren t L o tt Middle School, but the 90 people being sheltered there had to stay. Power outages were reported all along the coast, airports and inter­ states closed, curfews were imposed and flash-flood warnings abounded. Waves as tall as a house clipped off fishing piers in Alabama and leapt across beachfront roads along U .S .. 90 in Mississippi.

R o n n ie Jo n e s o f Louisiana State Police. But a slight deviation to the east in the storm 's course eased fears that New Orleans would be socked with a double whammy — unend­ ing, heavy rains and a storm surge that could submerge a city with an elevation that averages 6 feet under sea level. As of this morning, the Big Easy had been spared the w orst w hile M ississip p i and A lab am a got it instead. By 4 a.m . CDT, the h u rrican e's center was just outside Biloxi, mov­ ing north-northwest at six mph and expected to slow down during the day. G eorges was m oving so slow ly that H arrison C ou nty, M iss., for example, could face as much as 30 hours of hurricane force winds and two days of gale force winds. Alan Johnson of the N ational W eather Serv ice in New O rlean s said the hurricane could bring 25 to 30 inch­ es of rain. No deaths or injuries w ere direct­ ly attributed to G eorges d uring its od y ssey acro ss sou th ern states, in contrast to the m ore than 300 deaths reported in the Caribbean.

W id esp read p o w er ou tag es ~ GE0RGES/P¡ge~2 Every club seat expected to sell Ryan Trujillo Daily Texan Staff Despite having sold only slightly more than half of the newly-added club seats at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, UT athletii offi­ cials said Monday they expe. t all the seats to be sold within three years. About 700 of the the stadium 's 1,252 chair-backed seats have been sold so far, said Deloss Dodds, rJT athletics director, which he saic is better than the athletics department had expected. 9 The seats are situated in the east- side low er deck betw een the 20- yard-lines and are connected to a new luxury stadium dub. Depending on the location, the seats co st betw een $ 1 ,2 0 0 and $3,000, Dodds said. Doug M esser, senior associate athletics director, said the athletics departm ent did not count on the seats being sold by now, but that he does foresee an increase in sales in the coming year. "This year we are right at the tar­ get we had originally, and next year that number should go up a couple of hundred," Messer said. The cost of the empty seats has lit­ tle effect on the University paying off its $90 million debt from the stadium renovations, Messer added, because the athletics department is covering the cost through the sale of luxury suites and overall ticket sales. "W e p ro ject that an yw h ere between $4.2 and $4.4 million per year will satisfy our debt service payment plan. W e're at $4.5 [mil­ lion] currently." Messer said, refer­ ring to the projected total revenue for all ticket and suite sales this year. The athletics department will also consider raising the cost of the club seats next y ear, M esser said, although an exact figure has not been determined. The stad ium ren o v atio n s — which were completed this year — included the displacement of about 1,800 low er-deck student seats to the east-side upper deck, angering Visitors to Dobio Moll stroll past tbs temporary office of The University of Texas Club.

Genetic cure tested for lactose intolerance ■ An international research team has developed a possible genetic cure for lactose intolerance, an inability to digest dairy products that afflicts half the world's pop­ ulation.

H ow ever, Prem ier M irko M ar- janovic said the Serb crackdow n w o u ld resu m e if the se p a ra tists stage new attacks. And Vice Pre­ mier Vojislav Seselj said if NATO carries out threatened strikes, Serbia w ould take hostage pro-W estern Serbs who w ork for in depend ent media, peace and rights groups. NATO has recently stepped up plan s for a irstrik e s ag ain st Serb forces after repeated warnings that it would attack unless violence ends in the restive province. The Kosovo L iberation Arm y, which is fighting for Kosovo's inde­ pendence, issued a statement pledg­ ing to continue what it called ''the ho ly w ar" a g a in s t S erbia and demanding NATO action. H undred s of people have been killed and about 275,000 have fled their homes since February, when Yugoslav President Slobodan Milo­ sevic's forces began cracking dcwn ■ on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. Kosovo is part of Serbia, the domi­ nant republic in Yugoslavia. Most of Kosovo's ethnic Albanians — who make up 90 percent of the 2 million inhabitants — favor independence. M arjanovic, w ho m ade his remarks during a parliamentary ses­ sion, also said the government would grant amnesty to Kosovo Albanians w ho have not com m itted "w ar crimes," provided they surrender their weapons within 10 days. A NATO spokesman in Brussels, w ho spoke on c o n d itio n of anonymity, repeated the alliance's position that Milosevic must fulfill the conditions laid down in a U.N. resolution W ednesday that called for a cease-fire in Kosovo. "Words are n ifty , b u t we w a n t to see action," he said. There was no visible withdrawal of the police units Monday and sporadic fighting was reported. Marjanovic said Serb and Yugoslav forces would rem ain in their barracks for an unspecified period to guard against any resum ption of attacks by the KLA, which has been largely routed. Russia purges reformers Associated Press MOSCOW — In a blow to m ar­ ket-oriented economic reforms, the co u n try 's to ugh -talking tax chief was fired Monday, the last step in a purge that leaves only one of the previous Cabinet's young reformers in the government. Boris Fyodorov, w ho stro n g ly su p p o rte d econom ic reform and opposed printing new money, had promised to get tough on tax dead­ beats in an effort to fill the country's em pty coffers. Also dum ped was acting Deputy Prime Minister Vik­ to r K h risten k o , w ho a d v o c ated tightening control over government spending and cutting down waste. The firings were announced dur­ ing a meeting between Prime Minis­ ter Yevgeny Prim akov and Presi­ dent Boris Yeltsin aimed at complet­ ing a new Cabinet, a process that has already taken three weeks, and is still not finished. F y o d o ro v 's d ism issa l leaves M ikhail Zadornov, whom Yeltsin reappointed to the post of finance minister on Friday, as the most out­ spoken proponent of reform. But he is linked w ith the previous C abi­ net's decision on Aug. 17 to devalue the ruble and freeze domestic debt — a controversial move that many blame for fueling Russia's crisis. Primakov also announced at the m eeting that the governm ent had paid off back wages to the military, and was planning to pay off debts for student stipends, though he did­ n't say where the money had come from. It was unclear exactly how much of the wages were paid off. Primakov has made the payment of back wages one of the key goals of his program to fight the country's punishing financial crisis. The governm ent will unveil its complete plan to deal with the crisis in 10 days, First Deputy Prime Min­ ister Vadim Gustov said, according to the Interfax news agency. Impa­ tience has mounted at the lack of a detailed government program. Officials repeated M onday that the plan would include greater state control. Economics Minister Andrei Shapovalyants said Monday that it would be "aim ed at protection of the d o m estic p ro d u c e r" and "reforming of the tax system so that producers feel an easing of the tax burden," ITAR-Tass said. Meanwhile, a government team is to m eet Tuesday with representa­ tives of Russian and foreign banks that suffered m ulti-billion dollar losses when the old Cabinet default­ ed on its debt on treasury bills. Several previous m eetings have b ro u g h t no re su lt, an d foreign investors have assailed the govern­ ment for favoring Russian banks.

State again lawmakers demonstrated this behavior by passing a law that economically punishes Texas students who fail to complete their college education with 170 credit hours or fewer. The state will cut funding to the University for students who surpass the limit. To compensate for this, UT administra­ tors have been given authorization to charge these student menaces non-res­ ident tuition. So some students rack up more hours than others. Is this a pressing issue, or is it a problem invented by an aloof government that doesn't know or care what citizens want? Nobody even considered meandering college students a concern until the govern­ ment passed a bill that said they were. Just because a student goes over a cer­ tain amount of hours doesn't make him a slacker. There are numerous excusable reasons for taking so many hours, none of which a centralized government agency would be able to predict or understand. Some will think this is a law about money, but there is more to it than that. This‘law follows a disturbing trend of intentionally governmental bodies mislabeling things they don't like to get their way. To get more tuition money, the state is claiming that Texas resi­ dents who exceed 170 hours at state universities are equivalent to French- speaking transfer students from Que­ bec. The fact remains, however, that even if Johnny Longhorn takes 480 hours, he was still bom and raised in Dallas and pays state taxes. Despite the state's conservative leanings, being a "slacker" doesn't make a student a non-resident of Texas. The trend is also demonstrated by the current governmental response to rampant school shootings. States have taken to trying these youngsters as adults to give them life in prison or the death penalty. Presumably, 14-year- old kids with pimples are actually 40- year-old bald guys, and some Texas students are actually backpackers from Asia. State governments have given themselves the power to selec­ tively label their citizens whatever they need to achieve the ends they desire, which almost always involve TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1998 4 T h e D a ily T e x a n EDITORIALS Does the 170 hour rule hurt or help education? Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor or writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trusteeis. SB 1485 financially punishes Texas students Limiting hours creates opportunity for all Rhys Southan , COLUMNIST having more power. It's not too hard to guess where these policies may lead. The stricter laws of other U.S. states could be inflicted in criminal cases by claiming that Johnny Longhorn is actually from Oklahoma. Underage university stu­ dents who are caught drinking alcohol could be labeled "illegal immigrants" and sent "back" to Mexico. This 170-hour limitation is also a means of encouraging students to be tugged around benevolently by the system. The "good" students only take the classes they're supposed to take and only learn what the state wants them to learn. The government wants its citizens to be smart enough to beat other countries on tests and to keep the economy rolling, but not smart enough to notice all the oppression going on in this country. Could it be that these slackers know too much and are therefore considered dangerous elements? Big Brother is watching us, and Big Brother gets concerned when we enroll in History of the Revolution 101. Southan is a radio-television-film freshman. C0UNTER- Senate Bill 1485 has very little to do with how many years you spend getting your education. This bill, which permits higher education governing boards to charge up to out of-state tuition for those students who have more than 170 semester credit hours is not meant to penalize students who have to work full time jobs and can't graduate in four years. Instead, this bill is designed to help spread around the resources that higher education has to as many deserving students as possible. Earning a large number of credit Claire Morris COLUMNIST hours is a significant problem — it is estimated that almost one in five Texas college seniors have over 170 hours. While it may seem that each student should get the same chance to go to class as any other student, since they all pay the same, this notion for­ gets that public education is heavily subsidized. The same idea is applied to welfare reform — the government is subsidizing people who it is trying to help, but they need to get out of the F ir e A n d y S m ith ., T h e University has d e e id e d fa enforoe th e ^ [ M O h ow rule. W ell as Ioy\^ as t h o y r e at it, rM y don't theiy... s u r r e a l ® m a i l . u t e x a s . e r i w /\ system after a reasonable quantity of time. The Senate Committee that ana­ lyzed this bill found that extra credit hours each year total up to 125,000, or the equivalent of 4,167 full-time stu­ dents. Imagine if UT lost roughly 8 percent of its population when people stopped earning more than 170 hours — we'd be a lot less crowded. Switching majors is not an excuse either — even if you walked in to class on the last day of the semester in the last class needed for a major and suddenly decided you have a yearn­ ing to major in another subject, you could still graduate in plenty of time. A liberal arts degree has 91 hours of requirements, including say 27 hours for your major — that leaves 29 elec­ tive hours that you could easily fill with a double major. If you think that charging students out-of-state tuition is a bad deal, listen to some of the other strategies that were under consideration by state officials. One idea was to discriminate in favor of students who aren't screw­ ing around by ensuring that they got the classes they wanted. Another sug­ gestion was to limit enrollment to required courses, thus really taking away our freedom to take a few neat classes here and there. Given those options, Sfe 1485 isn't such a bad deal. One of the suggestions implement­ ed in the bill provides a financial reward for any student who graduates with no more than six extra credit hours. Thus, students can get a big fat check of $1,000 upon graduation — a very nice present indeed. As the House Committee Report stated, the goal here is to increase the "efficiency of institutions to graduate more stu­ dents in a timely matter." Perhaps this sounds sinister — college shouldn't be about herding us through the obstacle course as quickly as possible, it should be about finding one's yellow brick road and metamorphosing into a pro­ ductive butterfly, critics say. This is wrong for two reasons: one, you will probably change your career several times during your life and so you don't have to stay in college until you are sure your road is right, and two, taking finals and staring ahead for hours in class doesn't prepare you for diddly squat. Morris is a government junior who placed out of 4 7 credit hours and is happy she did­ n't have to spend that time in class.

I mean, while the government is limiting our rights to do as we please in a safe environ­ ment, why don't they just outlaw any form of addictive substance or behavior? Studies have shown that caffeine is as highly addictive as smoking and alcohol, so why not ban the consumption of caffeine in the United States. People also become addicted to pain relievers, so we should also make them illegal. But why stop here, it has been shown that people can become addicted to sex and that sex can kill you, so let's make it against the law. What about people with Internet addictions ... well the only answer has to be make the use of the Internet a federal offense in this country. What are we waiting for, as long as we have all of these freedoms that can lead to addiction we are a dangerous soci­ ety. The human creature is incapable of responsible activity, as Mr. Ortega points out. The U.S. government should pass a bill that makes it illegal for any person to do or consume any­ thing that can lead to addiction. But why stop there, they should go ahead and include anything that can lead to habit. It has been shown that some people have habits that can cause them harm. And what about the hob­ byists that use glue to make a model? The fumes can kill them, so let's make that illegal. While they are at it, they should outlaw religion, because it can lead to fanatic behavior that can disrupt other people's rights and freedoms. I think that once everything is ille­ gal, then and only then we will be a truly safe and responsible society. It is just a matter of getting past that lit­ tle "freedom and justice for all" thing.

In Carl Villarreal's recent editorial ("Austin police out of control" 9 /25) his argument covered: 1) rising complaints against police officers, 2) social / racial disparity in law enforcement, 3) the political motivations of officers law enforcement, 4) the illegalities of the interrogation process, 5) Free Lacre- sha, 6) community involvement in law enforcement, 7) police officer burnout, 8) crime vs. criminals, 9) the independent power of the police department, and 10) preventative vs. punitive measures for crime manage­ ment. All this in five paragraphs. in Conspiracy theorists would attribute such a phenomenon to ‘ a maniacal Daily Texan editorial staff that spends its time condensing 10 separate columns from a single author into one, skeletal, Reader7 s- Digested version. That, or Mr. Villar­ real needs to seriously work on the clarity and focus of his editorials. IF that7s so, perhaps Mr. Villarreal's lit­ erary and persuasive essay style is "out of control"? Benjamin Walther Plan 11/Biology senior Ridiculous claim I cannot dispute that some of the incidents in Carl Villarreal's column (9/25) regarding the Austin police department are atrocious. However, I do have a problem with two other points made by Mr. Villarreal. He points to the recent case in * which a judge ordered that a group of alleged gang members could not stand on a street comer together, as if APD is cruising the streets and harassing people. Maybe they do. But in this case, before these kids were ordered off the street, people in this neighborhood were terrified to merely walk by them. Mr. Villarreal also says that these deplorable conditions are fairly recent for a city that has had a rela­ tively low crime rate, and that the number of complaints against APD has increased. What he fails to note is how much Austin has changed in the last decade. In 1990, the Austin pop­ ulation was 846,227. By 19%, that number had increased to 991,593. And Austin hasn't stopped growing. It's very simple: more people means more criminal activity. He even admits that crime will exist "until we deal with problems such as schools, health care, drug treatment and dis­ tribution of wealth." It's hard to get a handle on all of that in a dty that is one of the fastest-growing in the U.S. There are no excuses for the acts of cruelty that APD has committed, but the claim that APD is looking for nonexistent criminals is ridiculous. Christianne Sanchez Advertising senior Volleyball, anyone? Imagine: A venerable old UT ath­ letic facility is renovated into a beau­ tiful new state-of-the-art sports arena. The renovations are designed with an eye towards making more seats with a better view of the game available to more fans. And in this facility, students are not banished to the clouds by special seating arrange­ ments or exorbitant ticket prices in order to make way for rich contribu­ tors or hot recruiting prospects. Instead, a student ID will get you a good seat, close to continuous game action for less than the price of a fast- food lunch. And you are there to watch a team that wins. A team that hasn't lost at home in a very long time. ThLs is no mere fantasy. The Lady Longhorns Volleyball team has a full schedule of games at the beautifully refurbished Gregory Gym. For as lit­ tle as $ 4 you can get a seat to watch an exciting and hard-fought game being played less than 10 feet in front of you. This team has been nationally ranked for years, mows down con­ ference opponents with regularity, and beats ranked opponents more often than not. And unlike other UT teams from "bigger" sports, the vol­ leyball team has made it to, and has even WON a couple of national championships within the lifetime of current UT students. I'm not a student myself. I'm a UT staffer who loves seeing a team that wins, and cares enough to give me a good seat at an affordable price. Students: if you're tired of being told to shut up and keep climbing, try watching your magnificent vol­ leyball team. Brian T. Bolten UT alumnus and staffer Medieval outlines What was the purpose of the photo cutline "Robert De Niro pauses from a breakneck car chase to get medieval on someone's ass" (9/28, p.16)? Does the ability nowadays to print "ass" in the paper give your headline/cutline writers come sort of sophomoric thrill? I can understand the teaser in last Friday's Texan cover page (Sept. 25 p. 1) about the new John Water's film Pecker. The teaser read "'Pecker7 a little soft." Ha, ha, I get the pun. It was cute and only slightly more cre­ ative than learning how to work a remote control. But if you think this slippery slope of piss-poor head­ line/cutline writing is going to get you ahead in the journalism field in the future, then think again. And if getting ahead in the field of journal­ ism is not in your plans, then step aside and let more responsible indi­ viduals learn this craft. I am not so much offended by the words "ass" and "pecker" in a stu­ dent publication where I used to work in 1983 as much as I abhor the lack of responsibility I sense at The Texan. One of my earliest lessons in journalism is that freedom of the press is not a license for irresponsibil­ ity. Irresponsible journalism belongs in the supermarket tabloids and in the libel courts. In short, Texan — clean up your act!! Alex Avila Deputy Producer LATINO USA The Radio Journal of News and Culture LSAT bunk Your lead story (Sept. 28) quoted a Princeton Review employee who basically lent her support to the cho­ rus of LSAT critics who wish to downplay or eliminate the LSAT requirement for law school admis­ sion. Considering the huge sum of money the Princeton Review, Stanley Kaplan and other test preparation companies stand to LOSE should the LSAT be "reformed" away, one has to ask: is Heather Jennings still on the Princeton Review payroll?? Still another person was quoted as saying that the LSAT "tests you on basic skills and knowledge that you will need during law school." It does? I took the test in 1986.1 remem­ ber one particular type of question (with numerous variations) where seven people entered a room and took seats at a table with eight chairs. ("Adam sits across from Bob, Charlie insists that Diane be seated to his immediate right, Egbert always sits two chairs over from Bob, etc. etc..") My undergrad major and course work included two semesters of cal­ culus, analytic geometry, statistics and linear algebra; along with a fair smattering of natural sciences. Noth­ ing in my life before or since that test so long ago has EVER required me to address the seating problem, or any problem like it! If the University offers a class where such a "basic skill" as solving these problems can be developed, it is a well-kept secret. And all potential law school appli­ cants should demand more extensive practice in such problems from what­ ever department teaches so basic a skill! Brad O'Brien Austin resident Don't blame Jim Beam Let7s take Randy Ortega's (Sept. 28 Firing Line) logic a step further. I think Mr. Ortega would agree that guns are as dangerous as alcohol, so they should be outlawed, too, right? Automobiles also have the potential to inflict harm on humans, so they're out the door. Ditto tobacco, spray paint, steak knives, roller skates and gravity. They all have the potential to harm people, so they should all be illegal, right? Wrong. What prohibitionists can't seem to understand is the fact that (a) consumption of alcohol does not nec­ essarily guarantee inebriation and (b) inebriation does not necessarily entail operation of a motor vehicle. This country really needs to get out of the habit of outlawing something just because we don't happen to like it very much. "When all such of us as have now reached the years of maturity first opened our eyes upon the stage of intoxicating existence, we found liquor recognized by everybody, used by everybody, repudiated by everybody. It commonly entered into the first draught of the infant and the last of the dying man. It is true that even it was known and acknowledged that many were great­ ly injured by it; but none seemed to think the injury arose from the use of a bad thing, but from the abuse of a very good thing." then Guess who said it? Give up? Abra­ ham Lincoln, 1842. Tommy Moore Computer sciences sophomore What's next — tobacco? I have to say that I completely agree with with Randy Ortega's views (Sept. 28 Firing Line) toward prohibition.

T hough a child in a historical sense, football cap tu red the atten tio n of the UT and A ustin com m unity d u rin g the last century. To achieve its cu rren t position of em inence, football w as forced to slow ly w ar against tra ­ ditional faiths for high atten dance and for tim e on holy days on b o th radio and televi­ sion. N ow m ajor n ew spapers carry an entire sec­ tion th at concerns itself w ith football h a p ­ penings. O ther faiths are left w ith the scraps, typically a few w retched pages each w eek.

U nlike the fractious sects found in other reli­ gions, these sects get along su rp risingly well. Some faiths say the meek w ill inherit the earth, there is a p retty solid reason that Billy G raham h a sn 't su p p lan ted the L onghorns on the gridiron — can he really sta n d up to the UCLA Bruins? For other religions, an ord ain ed represen­ tative preaches view s of their God, as if these corporeal beings could possibly serve as reli­ able channels for Him. Skepticism is the nat­ ural result. But there are no skeptics to be found am ong football congregants because no intercessory is needed; the voice of God is loud and clear. His unm istakable, m elliflu­ ous voice resonates th ro u g h o u t a packed sta­ dium , superficially from Jum botron speak­ ers, b u t alw ays from heaven itself, (but never d u rin g com m ercials). No one has ever seen the voice — w o rship pers know it is Him. As stu d en ts are sh u n ted to the u p p e r deck this season, they should not sulk at their m is­ fortune, b u t instead rem em ber th at they are closer to God an d H is majesty. W here else, stu d e n ts sh o u ld ask them selves, do they have this rare opportunity? For if the lower deck parishioners have to shou t to the heav­ ens to be heard, those seated high above are privileged to an intim ate conversation w ith Him. If the recent tiff betw een stu d en ts and A thletic D irector Deloss D odds serves to undersco re one point, it's that football is only a religion. Duchen is a governm ent/English senior.

We've been seeing each other for about three months now and I love hanging out with him. I guess lately I've just started to feel a little bit caged. When we go out, it's fantastic and he's my best friend. But outside of him, I'm starting to féel a little bored. One of my friends says I don't hang out with them anymore. I think she was just kidding, but it still made me upset. How do I tell my boyfriend 1 need time to do my own thing without hurting his feelings? — Business Junior Dear Business Junior, What you're describing is not at all uncommon, especially when a couple officially starts hanging out together. You both are really into each other and w ant to see a lot of each other. The downside of this honeymoon is you can lose touch with im portant aspects of your life like friendships, activities you enjoy, etc. You have to foster your identity outside of your relationship. Not only does main­ taining your independence from your boyfriend make you a happier person, more able to give a lot to people you care about, but you also w on't be left high and dry should your romance end. There's nothing lamer than being really lonely in the wake of a bad break-up because you've neglected your friends as well as A S K B EC C A beccakiki@mail.utexas.edu forsaken opportunities to make new ones. And it s just not healthy to let a significant other monopolize your time. But there is a solution. Tell your boyfriend that you'd like to maybe make Friday a night to spend with friends and Saturday the designated evening to spend with him. Keep in mind the time you have to devote to quality moments with him, versus school, work, etc. Include some time for yourself to get some Coffee with pals, work out, paint, whatever you need to do to feel like you're establishing and cultivating some part of yourself. If your boyfriend can't handle the fact that you're an autonom ous person outside of being his girlfriend, then you need to dum p him. And if you're just not letting him know you need this independence, then you need to tell him. He can't guess w hat's bothering you, nor you him, unless the two of you can talk about it. And girl, if you can't do that you've got more problems than you think” Send your questions via e-mail, day or night to beccakiki@mail.utexas.edu.

Now th e c lin ic h as p la n s for expansion because the demand for its services has grown during the last three years. "T h e co m m u n ity co n tin u ed to ask us for th e se s e r v ic e s ," said Melanie Percy, project director for the C h ild re n 's W elln e ss C en ter. "We tried to reach their needs." W hen the C h ild re n 's W elln ess Center first opened, staff members were only seeing one to two chil­ d ren p er d ay for p rim a ry ca re, wrhich in clu d es ch eck -u p s, tre a t­ ment of minor illnesses and vacci­ nations, Percy said. To meet growing demands, the clin­ ic now sees 30 children per day and has added mental health and commu­ nity outreach services, she said. The Texas Department of Health first financed the school-based clinic in 1995, said Karen Godard, project coordinator for the center. But since then, the n ursing d ivision of the N atio n al In stitu te of H ealth has aw ard ed it a th r e e -y e a r g ran t, beginning last September. But despite the new grant, Percy said the clinic is constantly looking for more funding. "W e 'll never be self-su stain in g because our families are mostly the working poor and will never be able to pay for the services," she said. The center, which provides health care for people under the age of 22, is a good opportunity for students to learn, Percy said. "It's been a real interesting sort of real life experience for stud ents," Percy said. Since the center was created with help from the University, the facili­ ty has been a way for students to get training in the medical field, as well as serve the community. Percy said the center gives UT stu­ dents and faculty a unique resource. " I t 's a w o n d erfu l research site and w e're able to test new models o f re se a rc h o u t th e re th a t w e w o u ld n 't be able to if we d id n 't have our own clinic," Percy said. Working at the clinic — located at a Del Valle elem entary school just outside of Austin — was good prac­ tice, said Stephanie Slater, a gradu­ ate student in nursing. "I think that if you're looking to go into the medical care profession, working there or just volunteering there ... just kind of gives you a feel for the different kinds of m edical professions," Slater said. B efore the clin ic opened, there were few opportunities for children to receive treatment in the Del Valle area, Godard said. "There was no pediatrician here," she said. "There was a real need to provide care for children."

The prog ram — estab lish ed in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy — has sent m ore than 807 volun­ teers from the U niversity around the world. Volunteers teach basic subjects in schools and educate com m unities about the environment, expanding their businesses, growing nutritious food and staying healthy. Peace Corps volunteers serve for two years following a three-month training session during which they learn the language and culture of the country where they will work, Mays said. Leslie Strickland, an adm inistra­ tive assistant at the UT V olunteer Center, spent tw o-and-a-half years — from 1995 to 1998 — as á health volunteer in the A frican nation of Chad. "The way I lived was not a way I could have experienced in the Unit­ ed States," Strickland said.

That dream came true just weeks b e fo re she d ied at h er h o m e on Tuesday, Sept. 22. Wilson, 25, had been battling cervi­ cal cancer since Oct. 30 when she was o rig in a lly d iag n o sed . She w en t through extensive chemotherapy and was diagnosed as terminal on July 17. Her graduation was made possible by a collaborative effort of the busi­ ness school and the University. Only nine hours short of her degree, the University awarded her a bachelor degree in business adm inistration with a concentration in marketing. "I'm very pleased to be associated with a university that would do so m uch for a stu d e n t," said Su san White, assistant dean in the gradu­ ate school of business. A special grad uation cerem ony was held in the W ilson's hom e in Houston on Sept. 3. Three UT offi­ cials — W hite, professor of b u si­ ness Linda G olden, and assistan t p ro fe sso r o f m a rk e tin g T o m asz Lenartowicz — flew to Houston for the ceremony. She received the traditional UT g ra d u a tio n ce rem o n y , w h ich included the songs "Pomp and Cir­ c u m s ta n c e " and "T h e E y es of T e x a s ." W ilso n w o re a cap and gown which she was later buried in. "It is the most meaningful gradua­ tion that I had ever attended and sus­ pect I ever will attend," White said. Wilson had one other wish, to see a UT football game. Friends made a rra n g e m e n ts for h er to fly to Austin and sit in a skybox. Unfortu­ nately, by the time of the opening gam e she w as too sick to attend, said her mother, Beverly Wilson. Wilson was a diehard football fan and UT Head Coach M ack Brown called her on the m orning o f her graduation. "She was the type of fan that if the team w a sn 't d o in g w ell, she never left," Mrs. W ilson said. "She was there yelling to the very end — she loved UT football."

"Cancer patients and their loved ones are vulnerable to any kind of representations that may give them a glim m er of hope," N ovak said.

W hile M a u ro 's re cep tio n w as only lukewarm compared with the cheers th at greeted Bush, at least one administrator said he preferred • Mauro's plan because it guarantees a teacher pay raise, whereas Bush's plan leaves that decision to individ­ ual school districts.

Also endorsing Cornyn were two m em bers of a g roup m ade up of people who contend their relatives w ere killed by H enry Lee Lucas, w hose death sentence in another case was commuted by Gov. George W. Bush earlier this year. Lucas had recanted hundreds of m urder confessions, including the. one for which he was sentenced to death. Mattox, who named a task force when previously attorney general to investigate Lucas, said a task force should be started to get the "real killers off the streets." Richard Raym ond, Dem ocratic candidate for land commissioner, accused his opponent of failing to pay thousands of dollars in proper­ ty taxes on his home in Houston's River Oaks neighborhood. Businessman David D ew hurst's home initially was valued at more than $6 million but later appraised at $4.8 m illion, R aym ond said, adding that his p ro p erty tax bill should be alm ost $90,000 higher than it is. "Hospitals treating cancer m ust be held to ’the h ig h est s ta n d a rd s of truth in representing the effective­ ness of the trea tm e n ts they p ro ­ vide." M.D. Anderson defended the let­ ter, saying the figures were based on fo llo w -u p in terv iew s w ith patients.

"This allegation comes at a time w hen we are e x p e rie n c in g th e greatest progress in treating can­ cer," Ms. Brust said. She added that there have not been any other com­ plaints. Ms. Brust said the hospital raised $115,107 from the more than 200,000 fund-raising letters that were sent out. Novak discounted the hospital's explanation. "If these figures are true, they can come to court and prove it," he said. "This is an effort to m is­ lead an d se d u c e th e A m eric an public." Texas Supreme Court takes show to Waco Associated Press WACO — For the first time in its 157-year history, the Texas Supreme Court convened outside Austin on Monday, meeting at Baylor Univer­ sity's law school. The judicial road show was made po ssib le last year w hen v o ters approved a constitutional am end­ m ent letting the court m eet an y ­ where in Texas. The idea was to bring the court to the people, and spectators liked the result. "We b ro u g h t over 100 people down here today, and I doubt that anywhere near that number would have gone to A ustin," said Dave Brown, a resident of W estlake, a Fort Worth suburb. "There's only 240 people in the whole town, so half the town is here." One of the c o u rt's three cases M onday d e a lt w ith this y e a r's ouster of the Westlake mayor. Resi­ dents chartered two buses for Mon­ d a y 's ride dow n Interstate 35 to Waco. The justices, who had no com ­ ment for the press, behaved pretty much the way they do when sitting in A ustin. As sp ec ta to rs w ere o rd e re d to stan d , the ju stices marched in and took their seats on a ra ise d stage in the fro n t of the room. Chief Justice Tom Phillips — a B aylor g ra d u a te — called on law yers for MCI and TU Electric Co. to argue the first case on the docket, a dispute over contracts and rights-of-way. The justices peppered the lawyers with questions about the facts and pertinent laws of each case. And so it w ent for th ree cases in ab o u t three hours. Baylor law students who watched were impressed. "You hear a lot about politically m otivated judges, but I didn't see any of that, at least not from the questions they asked," said Jeremy C o u n seller, an a p p ro p ria te ly nam ed second-year law stu d e n t from H um ble, n ea r H o u sto n .

"They were tough," said Bolton, from Smithtown, N.Y. "They were giving the lawyers hypothetical sit­ u atio n s to m ake them concede (flaws in) their argument, and the lawyers were fighting hard not to concede anything." Baylor officials lobbied for Mon­ day's historic session even before voters approved the constitutional amendment.

George W. Bush and Democratic opponent G arry M auro took turns pitching ' th e ir p la n s M o nday to school administrators. But it w as Bush w ho w a lk e d away with both a standing ovation and an endorsement. The 2,000-member Texas Associa­ tion of School Administrators, back­ ing a gubernatorial candidate for the first time in its history, threw its support behind Bush, calling him "a champion for children." "George Bush is our kind of guy," said TASA P resid en t Q u en tin S. B urnett, s u p e rin te n d e n t of the Argyle school district. "He w ants real education for our children." The endorsement came at the con­ clusion of the association's annual con v en tio n , held in co n ju n ctio n w ith the Texas A sso ciatio n of School Boards. TASB, which repre­ sents all 1,047 school d istricts in Texas, does not endorse political candidates, spokeswoman Barbara Williams said. Bush and Mauro have made edu- -cation a central focus of their cam­ paigns, developing competing plans th a t to u ch on such issu es as a teacher pay raise and overcrowded classes. Bush's plan calls for steering an additional $3.6 billion into public education over the next two years, including $2 billion to fund a school p ro p e rty tax cut, $1 b illio n for school districts to either increase teacher salaries or hire more teach­ ers and $600 m illion for read in g programs and other instruction ini­ tiatives. "E d u catio n is by far the m ost im portant thing a state does, and w e're going to get it rig ht in the g reat state of Texas," Bush said. "The goal is excellence — no excus­ es." Mauro criticized Bush's pian as "a continuation of more of the same," n o tin g th a t Bush m ig h t n ot be a ro u n d to follow th ro u g h on his prom ises should he decide to run for president.

The relaxed setting of the South Austin Community Garden is one of the draws for gardeners like Knowles. "I like the garden environment," she said. 'It is nice to work with the earth — it smells good and is a good way to use your body. It's also an excellent time to collect your thoughts." The garden, located next to the Salvation Army Community Center at S. 5th Street and C u m berlan d Road, is one of very few community gardens in the city that is indepen­ dently run by volunteers. The premise is an old one. Com ­ munity gardens started in the Unit­ ed States with Victory gardens dur­ in g W orld W ar II, sa id Renee Fuqua, one of the founding m em ­ bers of the garden. "People were donating all kinds of stuff to the war effort, and there were food shortages," she said. "That is how com m unity g ard en s started. People were working together for the good of the boys abroad." After a lapse of a few years, they resurfaced again in Berkeley during the 1960s, said Brian Stross, a UT anthropology professor and garden­ er at South Austin. "They started in urban areas where people needed and wanted fresh veg­ etables and didn't have the resources to grow them themselves," Stross said. "Community gardens are becoming more com m on," he added. "Texas came into it kind of late, but this is real­ ly a natural area for them to thrive.',' A nd th rive they do. There are se v e ra l co m m u n ity g a rd e n s in Austin, most of which are under the blanket of Austin Community Gar­ dens, a non-profit organization run by a board of directors. At one time, Fuqua w as on the board of directors, but she left the g ro u p to h elp form the S o u th Austin Community Garden. "They are a non-profit bureaucra­ cy," she said. "It has a paid staff and receives funding, but it is just such a big organization it w as hard to get things done." * So she opted for a smaller, simpler environm ent. A s o p p o sed to the 256-plot Sunshine garden in North Austin, the South Austin garden has only 32 plots — all of them filled. That's no surprise to many of its gardeners. For them, a $3 a month donation to the Salvation Army to help cover w ater expenses and an hour of volunteer time a month is a small price to pay for the chance to cultivate their own 12x18 foot plot. They are a diverse group, each seek­ ing something different from the soil at South Austin Community Garden. "T h ey com e for d iffere n t r e a ­ sons," Fuqua said. "Som e of them have small yards or it is too shady w h ere they liv e. O th ers live in apartments and don't have a place to grow anything." Out of the 40 members who have plots at the garden, 35 live in South Austin — many within walking dis­ tance of the garden — but one garden­ er, Francis Alan, lives about 30 minutes away. A lthough she lives only a few miles away from the Sunshine Gar­ den, she chooses to make the drive out to South Austin. "I looked around at the other gar­ dens, but I was just not attracted to them," Alan said. At a cost of about $70 a plot, plus monthly water expenses, the Austin Community Gardens were just not feasible for Alan. "Another factor was that it is just so large," she said. "This garden is much smaller, and much more friendly." S tro ss, w ho h as h ad a plot for three years, said gardening allow s him the chance to produce som e­ thing and follow it through. The com m unal asp e ct of these gardens is also important to Stross. "W e're all fr ie n d s ," he s a id . "Everybody is different and a d d s something to our group. The com­ m u n al th in g is so im p o rtan t — being able to be around plants and people at the same time. If everyone h ad contact like this, it w ould be great." Six months ago, Barbara Brown said she knew next to nothing about gar­ dening. The Austin attorney was just looking for som eplace to volunteer some time, but she soon found a niche. "I just started out volunteering w ith the general u p k eep ," Brown said. "Then someone wanted to give his half a plot away, so we became gardeners." She and her husband, who is also an attorney, just have basic landscap­ ing at their house because they fear their two big d o g s m ight tear up anything more decorative. The com­ m un ity g ard e n g iv e s them the opportunity to try their hands at gar­ dening in a different environment. The learn in g exp erien ce is not lim ited to adults. Lindsey Neeley, 12, com es to the g ard en with his mother, Serstin Neeley. Because his mother is a landscap- er and an avid g ard e n e r, he h as been exposed to gardening since he w as bom. Now, he fits right in with the rest of the gardeners — able to offer tips and help with problems. "If s fun, and I like to grow things," he said. "The tom atoes we grew turned out really good, and I really like eating the rest of the stuff we grow." The gardens are totally organic. The gardeners make a pledge not to u se any p e stic id e s or ch em icals around their garden. Although the gardens bloom with beautiful flowers, their most preva­ lent crops are fm its and vegetables such as tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, eggplant and cantaloupe. "I can't tell you how many hundreds of dollars of food I have eaten out of my garden ," Fuqua said. "It's such an important skill for people to have." Often the gardeners grow enough produce to trade with others or to d o n a te to the S a lv a tio n A rm y 's soup kitchen. V i e w s I n s i g h t s & P e r s p e c t i v e s David Goodwillie w alks through the numerous garden plots at South Austin Community Garden. Over 30 people are members of the Community barden, which provides tracts of land to gardeners in exchange for three dollars and one hour of work a month. Goodwillie himself has two plots of land w hich he tends to almost every day. n u u D i t u n i v o i a / U M i L T i c a m i y o i « r r P r e s e n t s Joe L ie m a n d t CEO T r i l o g y THE FR O N T OFFICE C O M P A N Y W e d n e sd a y , Se p te m b er 30,1998 a t 5:30 p.m. U n iv e r s it y T e a c h in g C e n t e r 2.112A ' R e c e p tio n t o f o l l o w i n t h e C o l le g e o f B u s in e s s A d m in is t r a t io n F a c u lt y L o u n g e , s u p p o r t e d by THE WALL STREET JOURNAL SPONSORED BY THE UNDERGRADUATE BUSINESS COUNCIL Q Q http://www.utexas.edu/students/bcouncil/ DTSports@iitxvm.cc.iit8XM.Mlu SPORTS T h e D a i l y T e x a n TUESMV, SEPTEMBER 28,1898 9 . fast. Williams continues legendary climb up NCAA ladder Jeff McDonald Daily Texan Staff For one week and one week only, all the hype stopped. After his 43-yard struggle at Kansas State two Saturdays ago, nobody asked Ricky Williams about the Heisman trophy or the NCAA all-time rushing record. Máke room on the mantle for another Doak Walker award, they said, but the little bronze guy with the killer stiff-arm is headed else­ where. And Tony Dorsett, whose T E X A S F O O T B A L L 6,082 career rushing yards are most in Division-I history, can rest easy too. But then the Texas All-American went and exploded for a personal- best 318 yards and six touchdowns last week against Rice, and the ques­ tions started up all over again. For the record, he still doesn't have the answers. ''Right now, those things are still so far off," the 6-0, 225-pound run­ ning back said. "If the yards come, they come. Hopefully five weeks down the line I'll be able to answer that question a little better." Williams' waltz up the rushing charts left a group of big-time names in the dust. On the Horns' second play from scrimmage on Saturday, Williams raced past Marshall Faulk of San Diego State with a 13-yard scamper over the left side of the line. Before the possession ended — with a Williams scoring jaunt, mind you — Thurman Thomas of Okla­ homa State and North Carolina's Ted Brown were behind him, eating his dust. the Four others, including Marcus Allen of ,USC, would also be bumped down list before Williams' day was through, and the Longhorn senior would stand in 10th-place overall, within striking distance of a handful of other foot­ ball legends. "It hit me for the first time last night \vhat Ricky is really doing here," head coach Mack Brown said during his Monday press luncheon. "H e's 286 yards from passing Archie Griffin and 368 yards from passing Herschel Walker. Both those guys won the Heisman trophy and were the greatest players of their time. "W e're w atching history every time he touches the football." Williams, who was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for his showing against Rice, must aver- age just over 170 yards per game to break Dorsett's all-time mark. It is the closest any runner has ever been to the ex-Pittsburgh star's standard so early in a season. RICKY/Page 10 into wild card Cubs s Chicago outlasts Giants’ late surge to secure 5-3 win Associated Press CHICAGO — Sammy Sosa got what he really wanted — a trip to the postsea­ son. And Steve Trachsel? Now, he'll be remembered for more than giving up Mark McGwire's 62nd homer — much more. He helped pitch those lovable losers, the Chicago Cubs, into the play­ offs. With a home-run boost from castoff Gary Gaetti and two key singles by Sosa, the Cubs beat the San Francisco Giants 5- 3 Monday night to win the frenetic one- game playoff for the NL wild-card spot. "It felt great. Ifs been unbelievable," said Sosa, who went 2-for-4 and finished with 66 homers, four behind McGwire. "Tonight, I forgot about the home run. I just wanted to win." The Cubs survived despite a three-run rally in the ninth by the Giants. Barry Bonds, who grounded out with th’e bases loaded to end the seventh, came up again with the bases loaded but man­ aged only a sacrifice fly. The Cubs haven't been to a World Series since 1945 and haven't won one in 90 years, yet they're going to the post­ season for the first time since 1989. "They had the momentum and Trach­ sel pitched a great game," Bonds said. "There is nothing you can say except, 'Congratulations^'" When former Giants relief ace Rod Beck got Joe Carter to pop out to end the game, the Cubs raced to the mound, hugging and celebrating.

It won't be a pleasant day for hit­ ters when Houston's Randy Johnson and San Diego's Kevin Brown, two of baseball's most dominating pitch­ ers, provide a marquee matchup in the opener of the NL division series between the Padres and Astros on Tuesday afternoon. Johnson, of course, is the Big Unit, a 6-foot-10 left-hander who virtually no one relishes facing. Brown's pitches have so much movement been described as "nasty" and 'Til thy" as well as some unprintable names. they've that And this is what the Astros and Padres get for posting their best sea­ sons ever? "It ain't fun," San Diego batting star Tony Gwynn said of facing John­ son. "Probably the biggest challenge you have as a left-handed hitter in this league is facing Randy Johnson. When he's on, you can't hit him." Reinvigorated after his trade from Seattle on July 31, Johnson went 10-1 with a 1.28 ERA, led the majors with 329 strikeouts and has been unbeat­ able in the Astrodome, going 5-0 with four shutouts. Johnson said his velocity and con­ trol were inconsistent in his last start Wednesday against St. Louis, when he allowed eight hits but just one earned run — and no Mark McG­ wire homers — in a 7-1 win at St. Louis. ASTROS/Page 10 Rangers bank on Stottlemyre Associated Press NEW YORK — If baseball is designed to break hearts, it gets a first-rate opportunity with the Stot­ tlemyre family Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. Todd Stottlem yre pitches the first-round playoff opener for the Texas Rangers while his father, Yan­ kees pitching coach Mel Stottle­ myre, devises ways to beat him from the other dugout. "I get chill bumps even thinking about it," Texas manager Johnny Oates said Monday. "We always want to do well for our dads. I thought about sitting there, rooting against your son. I don't know if you can do that." Mel Stottlemyre tried hard to walk a thin line Monday as the Yan­ kees and Rangers prepared for the their best-of-5 series. "I'm hiding my feelings," he said. "I'm keeping them to myself. I'm keeping my family and my feelings out of tikis." That's a difficult thing to do in his circumstance. "H e's been totally professional about this," said Yankees manager Joe Torre, who understands how tough this situation is for his pitch­ ing coach. "Whatever he knows, his job is to let us know." And take it from Todd Stottle­ myre, his father knows plenty.

Red Sox, Cleveland try to bury histories Associated Press CLEVELAND — The Indians and Red Sox are iinked by painful post­ season pasts. The memory of Game 7 in Florida last October still haunts Clevelanders, while a day doesn't pass without Bostonians recalling Bill Buckner's infamous error. Two of baseball's most cursed franchises have endured a com ­ bined 130 years of World Series frustration, and Tuesday afternoon they'll meet in the opening round of the AL playoffs with each hoping this is finally their year. "I always look forward to Octo­ ber," Indians center fielder Kenny Lofton said. Slow down, Kenny.

Rookie defensive back Terry Fair returned a kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown, and rookie quarterback Charlie Batch scored on a sneak as the Lions beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-6 Mon­ day night. Fair's kickoff return that broke the game open in the fourth quarter was the longest touchdown in the history of the Lions. Batch, in his second start, completed 14-of-23 passes for 115 yards and scored on a 1-yard sneak in foe third quarter. He also rushed for 39 yards on eight carries as the Lions won for foe first time in four games. "1 thought Batch did a heck of a job," said Lions coach Bobby Ross. "His creativeness helped us." Batch's total offense was 154 yards. Tampa Bay's foe Bucs' total. "We had constant pressure on [Trent] Dilfer foe whole game That really helped our coverage." Bryant Westbrook scored on a 34-yard intercep­ tion return, and Jason Hanson, who had to assume punting duties when John Jett was injured, kicked field goals of 27 and 25 yards for foe Lions. Michael Hus ted kicked field goals of 43 and 47 yards for foe Bucs (1-3), whose playoff hopes might also be in jeopardy because Green Bay and Min­ nesota, bofo 4-0, also are in the NFC Central. Barry Sanders, with his second 100-yard game of the season, rushed for 131 yards on 27 carries and had 23 yards receiving. Trent Dilfer was 12-of-30 for 120 yards with one interception — his first of foe season — for foe Bucs. The game was held up for 10 minutes in foe sec­ ond quarter after rookie Tampa Bay receiver Brice Hunter was injured during a helmet-to-helmet col­ lision with Detroit's Mark Carrier. Hunter was car­ ried from foe field on a stretcher and taken to P O H Medical Center; where he underwent a CAT scan. The injury’ turned out to be minor and Hunter left foe hospital with thumbs up less than three hours after foe frightening collision, foe aftermath of which silenced a sellout crowd of 74,724 at foe Silverdome. Two former Detroit players suffered career-end­ ing injuries on that field. One, Mike Utley, is para­ lyzed from foe waist down. Batch, as he did in his debut at Minnesota, moved the Lions fairly well in foe first half, keep­ ing the Bucs off balance with his scrambling. "Sometimes he can make things happen on his own," Ross said. "He did that a time or two, and that is part of what we like about him." But the results were the same. Batch couldn't get Detroit into the end zone, so the Lions had to settle for a pair of field goals and a 6-3 halftime lead.

"That is hard to do in this league," Ross said of ASSOCIATED PRESS Page 10 Tuesday, September 29,1998 T h e D a i l y T e x a n Doak remembered ■ Much has been made of Ricky Williams' pursuit of this year's Heisman trophy, but it's doubtful that winning that honor could have the same impact on him as the 1997 Doak Walker award did. Williams met Walker last Decem­ ber, when the Texas tailback was presented with the trophy, which honors the nation's premier run­ ning back, at a banquet in Dallas. Soon after the ceremony, the leg­ endary Walker was paralyzed in a skiing accident in Colorado, and Williams began to correspond reg­ ularly with him via fax. The two star rushers eventually formed a unique friendship during Walker's physical ordeal, a bond that lasted until the 1948 Heisman winner passed away on Sunday at the age of 71. “When I got to know him, I knew that he was the kind of per­ son that I want to be," Williams said. “I want to be 70 and still have that much life in me." Williams said that while he admired many things about the former NFL star, from his love of the game to his physical skills, what really impressed him didn't have to do with football at all. "Just the way he lived his life," Williams said. "Everything he did, he had a smile on his face." Eat at Hardee's ■ Having a*running back who can , rush for 318 yards and six touch­ downs is always nice, but the Horns said they had an even big­ ger weapon against Rice on Satur­ day night — Hardee McCrary. Hardee McCrary? McCrary, Texas' recruiting coor­ dinator/defensive ends coach, spent the last four years in Hous­ ton as a defensive assistant at Rice under Ken Hatfield, and players said his insight into the Owls was invaluable last week. "He really helped us get pre­ pared and get ready for them," end Aaron said defensive Humphrey. "He knew the players. I guess he must have recruited everybody there." Growing pains ■ Texas coach Mack Brown com­ mended his much-maligned sec­ ondary for their improved perfor­ mance on Saturday night, as the Horns were able to build some confidence against the run-happy Owls. Texas gave up only three comple­ tions on eight pass attempts all night, and Brown said that one of those three lapses, which came on a leaping catch by Rice's Jason Black- well over diminutive comerback Tony Holmes late in the second quarter, was perfectly excusable. "I don't know how you tell a guy to get taller," Brown said, referring to Blackwell's obvious height advantage over Holmes. "I don't think we have the time for that." — Compiled by Mike Finger, Daily Texan staff Cursed Continued from page 9 baseball's climactic month. Jaret Wright, Cleveland's post­ season pitching hero last October, will throw the first pitch at apprgx- imately 1:07 p.m. EDT, and another sellout crowd at Jacobs Field will try to rattle Boston starter Pedro M artinez in the best-of-5 series opener. W ednesday's Game 2 will be another matinee matching Dwight Gooden for the Indians against Tim Wakefield. Both teams held workouts Mon­ day afternoon, working on some fundamentals — hitting cutoff men and covering bases — normally practiced during spring training. Neither Cleveland manager Mike Hargrove nor Jimy Williams would reveal their starting lineups or postseason rosters. It's a new season, all right. "The postseason is an absolutely new ballgame, a clean slate and you approach it as such," Hargrove said. "Records are 0-0," Williams said. "You start all over." Cleveland, which dropped eight of the 11 regular-season matchups with Boston during the regular sea­ son, is hoping to recapture some of last fall's magic when the Indians surprised New York and Baltimore en route to winning the AL title. Rangers Continued from page 9 Cubs Continued from page 9 the field, shooting their bubbly toward the sky as fans crowded to the edge of the grandstands to party with them. Mark Grace, the only remaining member from Chicago's 1989 playoff team, took a tour around the field, raising his arms to the crowd, which included Michael Jordan throwing out the first ball and comedian Bill Murray singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch. "It wasn't going to be any other way with us," Grace said. "Five-run lead, tying run at the dish. That's the way it's going to be with the Chicago Cubs." Astros Continued from page 9 liked "I would have to have pitched a more quality ballgame, but when you get into postseason, you can throw the number out; it's a pure adrenaline rush," Johnson said Mon­ day. "You're able to do a lot of things you may not have done in the regular season because there is a lot of hype on the game." Johnson has had a huge impact on the NL Central champion Astros' 102- win season, even drawing 15,000 fans more than the average when he pitch­ es. "When he pitches, he wins, and he gives us confidence," manager Larry Dierker said. Johnson has faced left-handers just 18 times since joining the Astros, allowing four hits. n s p i r c d M i n d s W a n t e d . Where you work should be a place that inspires the mind. Imagine that.

Davis does­ n't have the power of Ricky Williams, but he does have the quickness to cause a flurry of mistackles with one shuffle of his feet. That's not good news for Texas, which has already made backs like Eric Hickson and Jermaine Lewis look like All-Americans this season. But Renfro, who has been all over the field and has become the undeniable leader of the team's defense, has seen his inexperienced teammates improve every week so far, and if the unit can sieze hold of the momentum early, the Horns might actually have a shot to hold Davis under the century mark. — By Mike Finger, Daily Texan staff Ricky Continued from page 9 The San Diego native also needs only 15 more touchdowns to top the collegiate record held of 65 held by Indiana's Anthony Thompson. And the Longhorn senior remains poised to challenge at least seven other major NCAA marks before his season is over. "I was asked over the summer how I would handle it, and I didn't know," Brown said of his standout's pursuit of Dorsett. "I thought it was impossible at the beginning of the year, so I didn't think much about it. Now he's about 1,110 yards away — that ol' boy's pretty good." One record Williams won't smash for the time being is Roosevelt Leaks' UT single-game rushing mark. The reigning Doak Walker award winner needed 24 yards on Saturday to surpass Leaks' 342, but came out of the game with just under six minutes to go. Brown and Williams were both aware of the record, but the coach decided to take his running back out, lest he be accused of running up the 59-21 score. "I was really pleased how he han­ dled the Roosevelt Leaks record without question," Brown said. "He probably could have gotten the 24 ne needed pretty quick, but I felt we'd done enough."

All that's left now is the Heisman Most media sources all but removed Williams' name from con­ sideration after the K-State game, and national highlight shows still failed to recognize his powerful per­ formance against Rice. The current consensus puts Cade McNown of UCLA and Syracuse's Donovan McNabb, quarterbacks on top 10-caliber teams, ahead of Williams in the race for the trophy. Still, when asked this week whether he thought Williams was back in the Heisman race, Brown replied, "I didn't know he was out of it."

LAS COLINAS BLVD. #260 972-869-2007 TEXAS b a r a an:u BIG 12 NOTES The Real Deal ■ You can now officially put any concerns about Nebraska to rest. The Huskers are for real. Despite losing its legendary coach and two most instrumental operators of the option attack, No. 2 Nebraska had little trouble not only beating, but dismantling No. 8 Washington, its first formidable opponent of the season. "It was just total domina­ tion/' Missouri head coach Larry Snyder said after watching Nebras­ ka's 55-7 win on television. "It was typical Nebraska football." Typical is right. The Huskers' running game made a mockery of the Washington defense by steam rolling for a total of 434 yards on the ground on 68 attempts, an average of 6.4 yards per carry. Tailback D'Angelo Evans led the attack with 146 yards on just 13 car­ ries. He also scored three touch­ downs, including a 60-yard run in the first quarter. Quarterback Bobby Newcombe, the meantime, returned from an injury suffered earlier in the year to score three touchdowns himself. He also ran for 79 yards and threw for 84 more. in "I think we played extremely well," Nebraska head coach Frank Solich said. "But we can still play better." Defensively, the Huskers were also solid. Nebraska sacked Wash­ ington quarterback Brock H uard three times and forced him to throw two interceptions. The Huskers held in W ashington's check by allowing the Huskies just 97 yards on 31 tries. running game "They're a great football team all the way aróund," Oklahoma State linebacker Kenyatta Wright said. "We have to play them next week and it's going to be a really chal­ lenge to keep them from making big plays." The main reason Solich feels Nebraska had no problem maintain­ ing its domination in the college ranks is because of coaching stability. Nebraska coaches have been at the university for an average of 14 years, while other Big 12 coaching staffs average only three years experience. "That's what so great about our program," Solich said. "When ath­ letes get in our program, they know the offense and defense they are going to run all four years." Living legend ■ Legend has it that Kansas State quarterback Michael Bishop can throw a football 93 yards. Unfortunately, Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder can't vouch for that. "There are a lot of Paul Bunyan stories about Michael," Snyder said. "I didn't see him do it, but some guys on the team said he threw it 93 and others said 95. By the end of the year it will probably be over a hun­ dred." The one thing that isn't a m yth about Bishop is his over­ whelming talent. Saturday, Bishop improved his position in the Heis­ man ballots by throwing for 441 yards and four touchdowns while running for 34 yards and a touch­ down. His total yardage of 475 yards was a Kansas State school record. Mizzou's Jones tired of being grounded ■ After a disappointing 35-14 loss to No. 1 Ohio State, Missouri quarter­ back Corby Jones complained that the Tiger offense had not been given the opportunity to win the ganje because of a lack of passing in the team's play selection. "I felt like we would just be askifig for sacks if we threw the ball," Mis­ souri head coach Larry Smith said after learning about Jones' com­ plaints. "I think if you would have looked at the film, you would see that our receivers couldn't even get off the line. But if Corby is upset, then I think he should come talk to me." Corby didn't have to. With last weekend's week off, No. 23 Missouri worked specifically on its passing game in preparation for this week's match up against North­ western State. "We are a running team first and foremost," Smith said. "We did look good passing in practice but, I can't say we are completely confident in the passing game yet because we haven't seen it in a real game situa­ tion. But it could definitely give us a more balanced attack." Smith, however, did not give any indication of just how balanced Mis­ souri would be. "We have to run because we have to be the team that we are," Smith said. "So don't expect us to throw the ball 30 or 40 in our game this week." — Compiled by Damien Pierce, Daily Texan staff to Online ling, Sports Info ^xasfites f c j i www.

Surprisingly, the buxom brunet­ te’s curves aren't the only attraction in Urban Legend, a cheesy, shameless rip- off of Scream and 1 Know What You Did Last Summer. The second attraction is that it is so campy it's actually fun to watch. Sim ilarities betw een Scream and Urban Legends are so numerous that counting the references becom es a game. Like the Spice Girls, Urban Leg­ end is one of those guilty pleasures that no one admits to enjoying even if they really do. The setting for the latest teen horror flick is P end leton C ollege, w hich apparently has a population of about 20, given that every time someone walks outside they are alone. Included in this population are six main charac­ ters so stock and basic they nearly par­ allel the already stereotyped players in Scream. Alicia Witt makes the jump from television's Cybill to the big screen (oops!), paving Natalie, the level-head­ ed good girl with a hidden past (think Neve Campbell). Joining Natalie are Brenda, the flighty best friend played by N oxem a bom bshell G ayheart; Damon, the homy frat geek played by Dawson's Creek' s Joshua Jackson; and Paul, the "serious" guy who might or might not have an agenda. Paul is played by My So-Called Life's Jared Leto , who clearly has some bills to pay or else wants to hold on to that teen heartthrob image. Two other no- namers round out the cast playing those disposable characters you know are going to violently die in the movie --------------------- film URBAN LEGEND Starring: Alicia W itt, Jared Leto, Rebecca Gayheart, Loretta D evin e ,Jo sh u a Ja c kso n Director: Jaim e B lan ks Playing at: G atew ay, T inseltow n Rating: ★ ★ . (out of five) simply because they haven't been in a popular television show. But enough with the characters, how about that plot? You remember the basic structure: start out with a token murder a la Drew Barrymore (in Scream), cut to the trendy teens with their party circle, and gradually shad­ ow each of the students until the grand finale when the truth will be revealed. The first murder victim is Michelle Mancini (Natasha Gregson-Wagner), who sadly loses her head (literally) while frantically driving away from the creepy gas station attendant that was merely trying to warn her. Back at P endleton, students reel from the new s that M ichelle w as bizarrely killed in a style that m im icked an "urban legend," one of those horror stories that always happen to someone you know. How con venient it is then, that Natalie and Co. are all in Professor Wexleris (Robert Englund, a.k.a. Fred­ dy Kreuger) folklore class in which urban legends are thoroughly dis­ cussed! Su bsequ en t deaths occur, and strangely enough, they're all connect­ ed to Natalie. Could someone be out to get her? This question should be easy to answer, especially because the iden­ tity of the murderer is so obvious. The Michelle Mancini (Natasha Gregson Wagner) is a Pendleton College co-ed stalked by a killer who patterns his murders after modern-day folktales known as Urban Legends. only mystery here is when all the stu­ dents are going to grow a brain. Still, it7s lots of fun to play along and laugh at Witt, whose portrayal of Natalie is so serious you'd think she was just diagnosed with terminal illness. Loretta Devine (Waiting to Exhale) receives genuine laughs as Reese, the hard-ass campus security guard with a fondness for Foxy Brown. Too bad Reese is such an obvious stand-in for Scream's Gail Weathers that her char­ acter is predictable all the way to her very last line. Urban Legend also has a few stylish self-reflexive lines, like when a ran­ dom bimbo from another college won­ ders if "that Noxema girl" goes to Pendleton, and when Jackson turns on his car stereo to Paula Cole's Don't W ant to W ait (D aw son's annoying theme) and yells, "I hate that damn song!" Perhaps most of the blame lies with director Jamie Blanks, who has made a film with entirely too many been-there, done-that scenes. Sure, we're supposed to know how the characters die given that their deaths are based on urban legends, but they can at least die in unusual places. Hanging from trees and dying in bathrooms and sound­ proof booths are hardly unique, espe­ cially if you've seen both Scream films. Problems aside, Urban Legend is great eye candy and actually does have a pretty rowdy finale complete with car chases, axes and mid-air lunges. Don't go expecting something new. Just go and have fun. sound bite live m usic WILLIE NELSON When: Sunday, Sept. 26 Played at: B ackyard Opened: R ay Price Otto Smith-Goeke Daily Texan Staff W illie N elson u nd erstan d s the im portance of his roots. Forty-two- years ago, Nelson earned his first big break p la y in g in Ray P ric e 's band. Since then, he has grown into one of country music's most unique and legendary performers. Sunday night, playing with Ray Price at the Backyard, Nelson came full circle. Only this time it was Nelson head­ lining the show. Nelson played his classic brand of co u n try to a la id -b a c k au d ien ce composed of older fans as well as college students. The music easily transcended all differences among the audience. Walking out in his trademark ban­ danna and braids Nelson kicked off his set with "W hisky River." Early on, he played a medley including, "C razy," originally written by Nel­ son, y et m ad e fam ou s by P atsy Cline. At one point a fan came up to the stage and handed Nelson a "W illie D oll." The crowd applauded as he held the doll high above his head, p rio r to p la y in g , "O n th e Road Again." "G ood M orning A m erica," "T o All the G irls I'v e Loved B efo re," "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," and "M a m a 's D o n 't le t Y o u r B a b ie s G row Up to Be C o w b o y s" w ere some of the other high points of the night. The song which received the g reatest resp o n se w as, "L u ck en - b a ch ," the song nam ed a fter the T exas tow n and site o f a y early Fourth of July picnic celebration. Nelson performed three songs off his new album Teatro, each a fine ex am p le o f the a lb u m 's d ark er sounding Spanish influences. But most of the songs performed to the full house were of Nelson's familiar style. His rich, distinctive voice has remained constant throughout the years. About the only thing in the concert that Nelson did change was the different hat or bandanna he always seemed to be putting on. And what Willie Nelson concert w ould be co m p lete w ith ou t the smell of marijuana in the air? People in their 50s or 60s were seen passing joints back and forth. N elson ended the show w ith "Pancho and Lefty," a tribute to one of most famous Texas songwriters of all-time, Townes Van Zandt. All of the proceeds from the show were sent directly to the Boy's Club of A m arillo. G enerosity has been consistent in m ost all of N elson's concerts, despite his highly publi­ cized troubles with the IRS. Leon R u ssell sum m ed up N el­ son's legend better than anyone else. "With hair as long as the generosi­ ty and talen t as big as the heart, th e re is also a co m p a ssio n th at appears to be end less.

Overall, little has changed. Nelson and Price are still playing together. And Texas' favorite son, Willie Nel­ son, is still as entertaining and tal­ ented as ever. moma n i I YpUR F r i e n d s tV N EIG H B O R S 2 :1 0 -4 :3 0 -7 :1 0 -9 :2 5 HAMDS a HARO HHDV 2 :2 0 -4 45 -7 :2 0 -9 :3 5 S h o p p in g for F a n g s B 11:50 pm J o h n W a t e r 1!
