T h e Da il y Texa n Gingrich receives punishment Associated Press WASHINGTON—In a day of dis­ honor for Newt Gingrich, the House voted for the first time in history to d iscipline its speaker for ethical misconduct. After months of parti­ san strife, the vote was a lopsided 395-28 to reprimand Gingrich and impose a $300,000 penalty. " T h e p en alty is tough and unprecedented," House ethics com­ m ittee C hairw om an N ancy Johnson, R-Conn., said at the start of a 90-minute debate. Republicans and D em ocrats th at G in grich had done w rong— as Gingrich had adm itted him self— agreed but they clashed over the gravity of his misbehavior. The partisanship that permeated the tw o-year in v estig atio n was undiminished Tuesday despite the overwhelming vote. At one point, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., ques­ tioned whether Gingrich was "ethi­ cally fit" to continue as speaker. But most of the 435 seats on the floor and in the visitors' gallery were empty. Gingrich attended meetings in his office and did not watch the debate, Spokeswoman Lauren Maddox said. When admitting his guilt Dec. 21, Gingrich acknowledged in a written statement that he "brought down on the people's House a controversy which could weaken the faith people have in their government." After two years of denial, Gingrich confessed to committee findings that he failed to "seek and follow" legal advice that would have warned him not to use tax-exempt projects to fur­ ther partisan goals. He also agreed that he should have known statements submitted under his name—denying his politi­ cal organization's connection to the tax-exempt activities— were "in ac­ curate, incomplete and unreliable." There were 196 Republicans, 198 Dem ocrats and one independent supported who the penalty. Twenty-six Republicans and two Democrats were opposed and five members merely voted "present." S till u nannounced is how G in grich w ill pay the $300,000. Some Republicans said he would risk further political uproar if he used cam paign m oney or estab ­ lished a legal-defense fund rather than using his own money. The $300,000 penalty imposed on Gingrich emerged from plea bar­ gaining in which the ethics commit­ tee's special counsel mentioned a penalty as high as $800,000, the Please see Gingrich, page 2 WE DON'T START THE HRE Speaker Newt Gingrich meets reporters on his way to Capitol Hill. ASSOCIATED PRESS UT to write protest letter MARK MCKENZIE___________ Daily Texan Staff UT President Robert Berdahl will n ot b oy cott U.S. News & W orld R eport's college survey after it dropped the U n iv ersity in to the unranked second tier in last year's survey, despite being given an aver­ age ranking in the first tier the year before, SG president Jeff Tsai said. H ow ever, Student G overnm ent unanim ously adopted a resolution Tuesday night denouncing the rank­ ings, saying the magazine "arbitrarily ranks schools on a specious crite- ria."Berdahl agreed-to write a public letter denouncing the m agazine's ranking process, Tsai said. Berdahl reached the decision after a 30-m in u te m eeting w ith Tsai last week. Tsai said he was "satisfied" with Berdahl's course of action. " It may be a better strategy to ridicule them into stopping it," Tsai said. Berdahl's proposed letter will fol­ low criticism by UT administrators and SG officers of the m agazine's method for ranking colleges, Tsai said. "What they're doing is statistically invalid," Tsai said. The Student Government's efforts represent a nationwide attem pt by student groups to convince college administrators to withhold informa­ tion from the survey or p u blicly denounce it. Tsai said Berdahl might not be able to legally boycott the survey, as some critics of U.S. News have suggested, because the data the m agazine requests from the University are con­ sidered public information. Berdahl could not be reached for comment Tuesday. D erek Thom pson, stu dent vice president at Stanford University and founder of the anti -U.S. News move­ m ent around the cou ntry, said Berdahl has other options. In the sectio n of the U.S. News questionnaire asking university presi­ dents to rank other academic institu­ tions by rep u tation , Berdahl can decide not to answer, Thompson said. "W e p refer that he boycott it," Thompson said Tuesday during a phone interview , "b u t I think it's great that he's writing a letter." Currently, student groups at 75 universities are working against the survey, Thompson said. About 40 universities' student gov­ ernm ents have passed resolutions asking their administrators to take various actions against the news mag­ azine, Thompson said. A handful of university presidents have written let­ ters condemning the survey, including the presidents of Stanford, Columbia Please see Rankings, page 2 Lottery fund allocation debated JONATHAN C. LEE__________ Daily Texan Staff Texas Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, taking a stand on an idea that has been dis­ cussed among state legislators, advo­ cated using state lottery money exclu­ sively for educational funding at a Tuesday press con feren ce at the Capitol. Bullock proposed a rider to the state's general appropriations bill to dedicate all future lottery funds to education, said spokeswoman Mary Jane Wardlow. Some students said Tuesday they also advocate the use of lottery funds for education. Mindy Rice, a radio-television-film sophom ore, said lo ttery m oney should be used "as a supplemental source for the underfunded districts" in Texas. Jou rn alism sophom ore Rachel Spiegelman agreed. "T h ere are a lot of schools that don't have school supplies, especially computer supplies," Spiegelman said. Others supported the lottery proposal conditionally.

ASSOCIATED PRESS SG ^approves new Election Board chair MICHAEL CRISSEY____________ Daily Texan Staff Student Government representatives approved the appointment of Richard M itschke, a management information systems senior, as the chairman of the Election Supervisory Board Tuesday. The board con d u cts and oversees every aspect of the election process. In the event of election disputes and griev­ ances, the board is the first to mediate. The SG Constitution states that the chairman serves a one-year term and is responsible for assembling a board of at least eight students who are not concur­ rently Stu d en t in volved w ith Government. The chairman's appoint­ ments must be ratified by unanimous vote of the SG's Judicial Commission. SG President Jeff Tsai said the com­ mission has not yet been formed, but he plans to select the members by Jan. 27. The selected m em bers m ust then be approved by UT administrators. Tsai, who is required by the SG Constitution to appoint the chairman him­ self, said he appointed Mitschke because of his honesty and his autonomy and because he has known him for eight years.

The appointment meets the MIC constitu­ tional requirement of having two directors. "I will assist Nicole [Huffman, MIC co-director] in any way possible to help make MIC more accessible to students," Seamster said. "When students come in and have questions of where to go, our office should be the avenue that directs them and gives them the kind of infor­ mation they need." Seamster, an education junior, was the first runner-up for the vacant position when former co-director Lee Hayes, a sociology senior, resigned in October.

Although new to the SG election process, Mitschke served on the Student Service Committee during the 1995-19% academic year.

The classes teach participants UT and city bicycling laws, emphasizing the benefits of wearing bicycle helmets and offering bicycling instructions. About 50 percent of bicycle accidents are caused by loss of balance control, Fitzpatrick said. Lottery Continued from page 1 lottery revenue to fund education is a bad idea "because the funds are incon­ sistent." Bullock reiterated this concern, say­ ing there was some reluctance among fellow legislators to rely on lottery funds for education "because of the uncertainty of the amount of money that foe lottery would bring in." But he said it has "proved to be a smashing success, the most successful one in the country." According to estimates for the fiscal years 1996 and 1997, the lottery will attribute $2.2 billion to foe $44 billion General Revenue Fund during that time span, with $26.6 billion of the fund going to higher and public education. Currently, all lottery profits are deposited into the General Revenue Fund, from which funding for health and human services, public safety and criminal justice, natural resources and other government agencies get a cut.

Silas Griggs said instead of focusing all efforts on enforcing the helmet and other bicy­ cling laws, UT officials wanted to edu­ cate students as a preventive measure.

Portions of sales tax and motor vehi­ cles tax revenues are also used to fund education. Bullock said Texas would not be the first state to use its lottery' to fund edu­ cation. California and other states have used lottery funds for education, he said. Georgia uses lottery funds to pro­ vide technological equipment for pub­ lic schools and that state designated $106 million of its lottery revenue last year to provide scholarships to its high school graduates. "California relied too much on the lottery and sent the education funds to things like transportation," added Matt Morse, an undeclared freshman in the College of Liberal Arts. "When all the people stopped buy­ ing lottery tickets, there were no edu­ cation funds. Now California has a horrible education svstem."

Bruce Zanca, U.S. News director of armmunications, said, "We just don't do the methodology arbitrarily; we are one of the experts in publishing" sta­ tistical information. Thompson said U.S. News has responded to criticism of its survey by accusing some universities -— includ­ ing Stanford — of being "sour grapes." "Even Yale, who was [ranked] number one — they accuse them of sour grapes," Thompson said. Alma College in Alma, Mich., eval­ uated all magazines that conduct a l ­ lege ranking surveys, then released a study giving U.S. Neivs poor marks. "The results of the U.S. Nous sur­ veys are taken the most seriously but are also the most inaccurate" of all magazine surveys, Thompson said. Gingrich Continued from page 1 speaker's lawyer said Tuesday. Attorney J. Randolph Evans said Gingrich was "shocked" even upon hearing the lower figure. A vote to reprimand a member is reserved for "serious violations" of foe rules. The financial penalty, never before imposed, was to reimburse the ethics panel for costs associated with expanding the investigation after Gingrich submitted his misleading statements. Evans and ethics committee Special Counsel James M. Cole watched from members' seats as Johnson told the House, "No one is above the rules." While Gingrich agreed in advance to the penalties, Rep. Lamar Smith, R- Texas, the only dissenter, argued the sanction was too harsh in the commit­ tee's 7-1 vote last Friday. He and Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said that in foe past miscon­ duct not found to be intentional was punished only by a letter of criticism. "This speaker has had every detail of his life examined under a micro­ scope, and that microscope has exposed some flaws, some sloppiness or some things that should have been done better, but it has not exposed cor­ ruption," DeLay said.

Thompson said Stanford will not go forward with the boycott, however, if they are the only major university to do so. "When Reed [College in Portland, Ore.] boycotted the rankings, they dropped to the fourth tier," Thompson said. The editors added a footnote to Reed College's ranking, Thompson said, which read, "Based on the edi­ tor' s best guesses." madness." The Democrats said Gingrich violat­ ed tax law and intentionally misled the ethics committee and blamed Republicans for downgrading a planned week of public hearings to a single day's proceeding. The Republicans maintained that a majority of the committee found nei­ ther tax-law transgressions nor an intention to mislead. In addition, Republicans said Democrats subjected GOP committee members to previous1- ly unheard of attacks in their election ; campaigns. The situation was so tense that Rep;. Doug Bereuter, R-Neb., took the unusual step of reading aloud from the House rule that admonishes law­ makers to "maintain an atmosphere of mutual respect." A few moment^ later, the proceedings were briefly dis^ rupted by a spectator who began shouting a religious message. He was removed. While the vote leaves Gingrich a weakened speaker, it allows him to keep his leadership post. A Democratic speaker, Jim Wright, resigned in 1989 after he was charged with ethics violations.

Four hours apart, the explosions thundered across Algiers. Columns of smoke rose high above the city as am bulances and p olice cars sp ed toward ruined neighborhoods, sirens blaring. The blasts came just two days after a car bomb in the city center and an attack on a village outside A lgiers which killed 78 people. Nationwide, the bloodletting has killed more than 120 people in the past two weeks, with blame falling on Islamic militants trying to topple the governm ent and im pose strict Islamic law. The first bomb exploded during late afternoon near a cultural center and an apartment block housing hun- dreds, but the exact target w as unclear. Shops and houses crumbled, balconies collapsed and roofs fell on people's heads, witnesses said. H ospital sources said 16 peop le died in the first explosion. Rescue workers initially said 11 people died, but security forces, who often down­ grade casualties in such attacks, said five people were killed. All sources spoke on the condition of anonymity. At night, a second bomb exploded near the M artyrs M onum ent that d om in ates the bay of A lgiers.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DNC limits contributions Associated Press WASHINGTON — Trying to improve its tar­ nished image, the Democratic National Commit­ tee announced Tuesday it w ould no longer accept money from people or companies with foreign ties and would limit contributions from labor unions and wealthy benefactors. The party also listed steps that would prevent unseemly characters from gaining access to the president and vice president through political receptions at the White House and the vice presi­ dent' s residence. Separately, the Clinton adminis­ tration announced efforts of its own to conduct more thorough background checks on people invited into the White House. The actions were part of an effort to move beyond em barrassing disclosures about the Democratic National Committee's fund raising in last year7s campaign. The committee's practices are under investigation by the Justice Depart­ ment and Congress. The committee has returned nearly $1.5 million in questionable contributions, some from non-citi­ zens who did not appear to have the financial resources to make such large contributions. Trying to focus attention on the future instead of the past, President Clinton and other Democ­ ratic leaders used the announcement to call for Republicans to match the Democratic commit­ tee's steps — and for Congress to act quickly on broader campaign finance reforms. "Let us not avoid unpleasant truths," Vice President A1 Gore told committee members. "Both parties have shortchanged America's ideals. ... Today we vow to do better and to do more." In an afternoon speech to the Democratic com­ mittee, Clinton noted that the party's announce­ ment coincided with the reintroduction of a bipartisan campaign finance measure in Con­ gress.

Wisconsin. "It should become the law of the land. ... Act now. Don't delay." Announcement of the Democrats' fund-raising rules overshadowed the election of Clinton's handpicked leadership team, Colorado Gov. Roy Romer and Massachusetts businessman Steve Grossman. They were ratified as the national committee's general and national chairman, respectively, and promised to vigorously enforce the new rules. Privately, senior party officials blame the fail­ ure of properly policing contributions largely on White House pressure to raise more money. But outgoing chairman Don Fowler, his voice chok­ ing at times, took the blame. "The buck stops somewhere and here it stops," he said. But Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer won rousing applause when he jumped up and told Fowler, "I do not accept your throwing yourself on the sword." Under the new guidelines, the DNC will close the door on two legal, lucrative sources of cam­ paign dollars: contributions from U.S.-based sub­ sidiaries of foreign contributions and from for- eign nationals who have permanent resident sta­ tus in the United States. "We do not want to have any taint of influence of foreign people and foreign interests in the United States," Romer said in an interview. Advocacy groups for legal immigrants have criticized such proposals as discrimination, but Romer said the party decided it would not take money from those who are not eligible to vote. "You have to draw the line somewhere," he said. Also, the party will cap the am ount it will accept at $100,000 annually from any contributor. Federal law strictly limits contributions to candi­ dates but allows corporations, labor unions and wealthy individuals to make giant, unregulated contributions to the national parties. Dakota snow kills livestock Associated Press BISMARCK, N.D. — William Willman has to use a chainsaw to cut his frozen hay into chunks to feed his cattle. But at least they're still alive. On other ranches, cattle are believed to be buried so deep in the snow that their carcass­ es may not be found until spring. "I'm lucky that my cows got it made better than anybody," Willman said Tuesday. "Oth­ ers are not doing so good." Across the Plains, tens of thousands of cat­ tle are dead or in danger of dying. Some have frozen in the recent blizzards that have roared across the region. O thers have starved because they cannot find feed, or their snowed-in owners have not been able to deliver it. The state office of the federal Farm Service Agency has received reports of more than 12,600 cattle deaths in North Dakota so far this winter. The number is expected to be even higher in South Dakota. Randy Volk, who farms near Shields, awoke one morning last week to find dead animals strewn across his yard and frozen to the ground. "It's enough to make you sick," he said. "I would say they froze their testicles and that killed them, or else the snow rolled into their nostrils and they smothered." Most of Volk's dead animals were still in his yard Tuesday. "I suppose the pigs will eat them, or the coyotes. We'll bum them if we can," he said. "One of them we had to pull away from the bam to get the door open. We had to jerk and pick away with an ice pick so we could pull it away." Five blizzards have struck North Dakota since November, four in the last month alone. So far, the state has gotten at least 4 feet of snow. "It wouldn't be expected to have a major impact on the beef supply nationally," said Chuck Lambert, chief economist for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. Even before the blizzards, beef prices had been ris­ ing. Willman's 28 cattle have survived the fero­ cious winds and snow behind the shelter of trees on his ranch near Almont, in central North Dakota. But the gravel road leading to his cattle has been packed with snow since November. The two-mile walk to his cattle begins at an 8-foot gate that is buried under snow. "I can't see the fence no more. I just go right over the top," he said. When he goes out to feed his cattle, he tugs a sled with food, water and other supplies for himself just in case he gets trapped. On his way to the cattle, he uncovers frozen hay bales and hacks them up with a chainsaw. Normally, he would use his tractor to haul the hay to his animals, but it broke down in the cold. Now he has to carry the hay bales by hand. "About the only thing that could help me is if a helicopter could bring me in a tractor," Willman said. Even surviving cattle are in tough shape. "I've seen more cattle with their feet froze and parts of their ears froze off than ever before," said Willman's brother, Gary. Rancher Ken Tischmak kneels next to one of more than a dozen cows that have frozen to death on his ranch. Supreme Court awaits word from the White House Associated Press nation. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said Tuesday it wants to hear from the Clin­ ton administration before deciding whether to hear a politically charged case involving affirmative action. The court asked adm inistration lawyers whether a New Jersey school board's deci­ sion to lay off a white teacher instead of an equally qualified black colleague was ille­ gal. A response could take months. The justices, increasingly hostile in recent years to race-based policies, are being asked by the Piscataway Board of Education to reverse rulings that said its effort to p re­ serve diversity amounted to racial discrimi­ The case became a rallying cry for Repub­ licans in Congress who seek to dism antle many affirmative-action programs. The dispute dates back to a 1989 decision by the local school board to elim inate a teach in g p o sitio n in P iscataw ay High School's business department. New Jersey law requires that tenured teachers be laid off in reverse o rd e r of seniority, but two teachers—Sharon Tax­ man and Debra Williams—had started their jobs on the same day nine years earlier. Taxman is white; Williams is black. The school board allegedly laid off Tax­ man because Williams was the only minori­ ty teacher in the 10-teacher business depart­ ment. The school board in 1975 a d o p te d an affirmative-action plan that favored racial diversity "when candidates appear to be of equal qualification." Soon after h er layoff, Taxm an filed a racial-bias complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She said the board's action violated an anti-bias law known as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 1 he case drew national attention after the Bush adm inistration supported Taxm an's com plaint w ith a reverse-discrim ination lawsuit against the school board. After Pres­ ident C linton took office, how ever, th e D epartm ent of Justice sw itched sides to support the school board. A federal appeals court treated the gov­ ernm ent's switch as a request to withdraw the case. By the time a federal judge ruled for Tax­ man, she had been rehired. She was aw ard­ ed $144,000 in back pay and damages, and the board was ordered to treat her seniority as if she had never been laid off. The 3rd U.S. C ircuit C ourt of A ppeals upheld the judge's ruling by an 8-4 vote last August. The appeals court said Title VII prohibits any race-conscious decision-making if it is not taken to remedy past discrimination. NEWS BNEFS President of Zaire fires ambassador ■ MARTIN, France — After months of pressure from France, Zaire's president said Tuesday he had fired his ambas­ sador so that the envoy could face charges in connection with the death of two French boys in a car accident. Mobutu Sese Seko made the announce­ ment at his French Riviera villa, where he returned earlier this month to continue recuperating from prostate cancer. The deaths infuriated residents of the nearby town of Menton, where the acci­ dent happened Nov. 23, and led to repeated French government requests for the lifting of Ambassador Ramazani Baya's diplomatic immunity. Baya has admitted running down the two boys, Ronald Lehartel and Raphael Lenoir, as he rushed to a meeting with Mobutu. He also has said he would be willing to submit to French justice. The case of the Zairian ambassador is not the only one in recent weeks to spot­ light the issue of diplomatic immunity. A diplomat from Georgia was involved in a car accident earlier this month in Washington that killed a 16- year-old girl. President Eduard Shevard­ nadze, responding to a US. request, has said he is prepared to lift the immunity of the diplomat, Geuorgui Makharadze. Consecutive quakes kill 12 in Xinjiang ■ More than 2,500 families camped in tents or slept on school floors after the magmtude-6.4 and -6.3 quakes, one after the other, hit the Jiashi region, near the old market city of Kashgar, Tuesday morning. The extent of the damage was hard to determine due to the remoteness of the area. Chinese officials said 30,000 rooms were dangerously damaged and 8,000 had collapsed, but they did not say how many buildings or hom es those figures represented. Twelve people were killed. At least eight of the 48 injured were in critical condition, said an official of the Cen­ tral Seismology Bureau who gave only his surname, Tan. Aftershocks repeatedly jolted the area. Tan said more than 3,000 head of livestock were killed by falling debris w hen their m ud, w ood and stone sheds collapsed. The western part of Xinjiang, where the quakes hit, is 2,000 miles west of Beijing. Adventurer mistaken for a high-flying god H NUNKHAR, India — Adventurer Steve Fossett packed up his giant silver balloon in rural India on Tuesday, sur­ rounded by villagers who had initially taken the American for a monkey god in a floating temple. Most villagers had never seen a hot-air balloon until Monday, when Fossett's landed in a mustard field at the end of a failed round-the-world attempt. Many said they took the balloon for a floating temple and its pilot for a human incarnation of their monkey god Hanu- man. "We offered him pure cow milk and we were pleased that he took two sips," villager Shayam Bahadur Singh said. Fossetf s balloon drew so many curious villagers Tuesday that rural police — armed with World War El-vintage guns - were posted to protect it A day after touching down in India, his quest to circle the globe foiled by lack of fuel, Fossett packed up his Solo Spirit to ship it back to die United States. Residents helped Fossett extract the balloon from trees and put it on a truck to Varanasi dty, 95 miles away. From there, Fossett is expected to fly the 375 miles northw est to N ew Delhi, and then head home. Elvis’ agent dies LAS VEGAS — Col. Tom Parker, a one-time carnival pitchman who shrewd­ ly guided Elvis Presley's career for 22 years, died Tuesday. He was 87. Parker died of complications from a stroke, said friend Bruce Banke. Parker, a rotund, rough-around-the- edges figure with a fondness for Cuban cigars, became Presley's manager in 1955 as the young Memphis truck driver was on the verge on becoming a rock 'n' roll sensation, and stayed in the job until the death of The King in 1977. After that, Parker all but retired. Thomas Andrew Parker was credited with getting Presley a $35,000 recording contract with RCA Victor in the mid- 1950s when Sam Phillips of Sun Records in Memphis decided to sell the contract. He also arranged Presley's early televi­ sion appearances, including three on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1956 and 1957 that helped catapult the young Presley to star­ dom 'He was a good manager in many, many ways,, but he had the best product that any person in the world, including me, could have ever had, and that was Elvis Presley," Phillips said Tuesday. — Compiled from Associated Press reports EDITORIALS Clinton’s sky a purple haze fofífUL c—fU M liil h tl t H humatán CALL m Monday, our virtuous president was inaugu­ rated again. Hus round, he will obey America's mandate, vowing he and Congress will work together to solve our nation's problems. No one is quite sure what color the sky is in Bill Clinton's world; however, a president elected by only 24 percent of the electorate and a Congress elected by a mere 17 percent of the voters can hardly claim to have a mandate. Of course, the White House and the Republi­ cans will agree on one issue: their corporate America patrons. Businesses are responsible for more than 70 per­ cent of federal election financing; the rest comes primarily from wealthy individuals. And these businesses and individuals are getting more for their money than just a night at the White House. Last summer, the White House and Republican Congress, hoping to appear tough on welfare mothers, ended President Franklin Roosevelt's 60 year guarantee to aid the poorest Americans. The Urban Institute now estimates 1 million children — two-thirds of welfare recipients — will be thrown into poverty, hunger, homeless­ ness and disease. Yet since children and their poor mothers don't vote and field no financial power, the government tramples their interests and reduces their standard of living to Third World status. Unfortunately, "ending welfare as we know it" Donyel M cC ollister TEXAN C O L U M N IS T didn't mean corporate welfare, ending Aid to Dependent Corporations, or cutting them off and forcing them to work. Big Business makes gener­ ous donations to both sides, ensurinj its "wel­ fare" plan remains untouched. What constitutes "corporate welfare"? Here are a few illustrations. Last year, two defense contractors, Lockheed and Martin Marietta, merged. They then persuaded the Pentagon and Capitol Hill to subsidize the merger with taxpayers' money. The total cost was $1.5 billion, including $30 million in bonuses for the execs at the top. Not long ago, a couple of nuclear power utili­ ties owed the government $8 billion for uranium- enrichment services. The executives decided they didn't want to pay, so they got some powerful friends in Congress to erase the debt with a mas­ sive piece of legislation. It doesn't end there. General Electric, AT&T and a few other corporations owed tíre govern­ ment more than $15 billion from deferred taxes on exports. They didn't want to pay either, so, fol­ lowing the age-old tradition, they had some friends in Congress erase their debts. The National Institutes of Health are a govern­ ment agency that spends millions of taxpayers' dollars to develop medicines the private sector can't afford to research. But since the government is prohibited from manufacturing the medicines, it gives them to pharmaceutical companies who charge consumers exorbitant prices. In effect, tax­ payers end up paying for these medicines twice. These examples are only the tip of the iceberg. Corporate welfare will to cost Americans far more than social welfare programs. While our social welfare program amounted to little over nine billion a year, one example of corporate wel­ fare (GE and AT&T above) far exceeded that amount. Further, corporate welfare costs are difficult to calculate, because corporate welfare is often buried in unwieldy legislation and doesn't exist under one single heading like Social Security or Medicare. Nevertheless, corporate welfare's price tag is estimated to be more than $100 billion a year. Incidentally, the total savings over seven years for welfare reform barely exceeds $54 bil­ lion. We can expect our esteemed leaders to use this savings in an honest manner; they will no doubt work together to reward their corporate masters for their handsome campaign contributions.

VIEW POINT Election referee Campus elections didn't kick off Tuesday night, but the Student Government did name the referee. SG President Jeff Tsai nominated Richard Mitschke to be the new chair of the Election Supervisory Board. Despite some procedural grumblings, he was approved unanimously. The actions of naming an ESB chair might seem inconsequential now, with elections more than a month away, but getting a jump on the elections seems to be the linchpin of Tsai's plan for restoring integrity to the annual campus elec­ tions. Restoring integrity might not be as cor­ rect a phrase as introducing integrity. However, restoring integrity might not be as correct a phrase as introduc­ ing integrity. Anyone who witnessed the 1995 and 1996 elections, filled with allegations of dognapping, lobster mur­ der, grandstanding, name-calling and general ugliness, can appreciate this distinction. The icing on the cake came when allegations of bloc voting fraud went uninvestigated. Last year, ESB Chair Tito Garcia had four Viewpoints dedicated to his behavior in one SG meeting. Garcia forbid candidates from talking to The Texan or their classmates about their election plans. Then, Gar­ cia told Rob Rogers, then Texan editor, that his demands should run on the front page of the next day's Texan, and Garcia refused to divulge the ESB members' names. As history and a very obvious national example suggest, elections set the tone for the administration. If the public suspects more fraud than truth, everything the SG does will lack credibility. A o « As per the SG's own Election Code, the Election Supervisory Board C P ' --------------- T 7 1 ____ *_• _ o . 1 . . ~ J chair has no ties to any of the parties currently forming tickets. Good luck, Mr. Mitschke. Until these elections are over, your phone will ring off the hook and you will be the most unpopular man on campus. Even Jim Bob Moffett can get more sympathy than an ESB chair. Numerous issues demand immediate attention from Mitschke. Bal­ loting will be done only on campus, thereby preventing illegitimate bloc voting. But some think the ability to vote a straight ticket will be beneficial to those 4 percent of the students who do vote. Some, dis­ mayed that parties have taken root in the University's political scene oppose a straight ticket option. ' Mitschke said we'll have to take it on faith that the rules will be enforced. We hope to have a more open relationship with our ESB chair this year, and remind you it is your responsibilty to make it vis­ ibly apparent that ESB rules are strictly enforced. UT students need proof, not faith. Handgun revision threatens religious, private sanctuaries The proposal presented last week in the The proposal presented last week in the O _ 75th Legislature to extend and modify Texas' concealed handgun law sacrifices safety for convenience. This rash action contends that public buildings, including hospitals, amuse­ ment parks and places of worship, should allow licensed owners to carry weapons on their premises. 1 t t t . i Sarah Wilson TEXAN C O L U M N IS T Sponsored by Sen. Jerry Patterson, R- Pasadena, and Reps. Bill Carter, R-Fort Worth, and Ray Allen, R-Grand Prairie, the bill seeks to clarify" loopholes in the original statute the trio orchestrated during the last legislative session. Instead, it encourages crime in current safe havens while enlarging the pool of prospective license holders. According to the more user-friendly statute, felons who were convicted more than 15 years ago of nonviolent crimes would be eligible to apply for a concealed handgun license. Although the application process would be open to more citizens, it intensifies the risk of crime. Allowing former felons to pack a pistol is not a deterrent to violence; the hazards of bloodshed far outweigh the minor inconveniences. The harmful bill would also lift a concealed weapon ban in churches, synagogues and other established places of worship. This shows a blatant disregard for the sanctity of religion. 'Regardless of which denomination, . . , bringing weapons into a church is wrong" said the Rev. Pat Hensy, director of the Uni­ versity Catholic Center. "It is totally out of context with the notion of having a house of prayer." Religious organizations are excluded from many legislative decisions. Yet this bill brings lawmakers to the pulpit, handguns and all. The separation of church and state would be blurred. Allowing concealed handguns in hospitals and nursing homes treads on the rights of the sick and the elderly. Such a change would breed anxiety and chaos in places where serenity and order are invaluable commodi­ ties. Granted, emergency rooms and trauma centers would from firearms' dangers. But every health care facil­ remain protected FIRING LINE ity should be handgun free. Intense stress, lack of control and the influence of medication gen­ erate circumstances demanding absolute secu­ rity; that is only possible without weapons. The bill's most totalitarian feature allows city governments to permit weapons in their buildings. This measure robs governmental agencies and local officials of authority and respect. It singles out government employees by hinder­ ing their well-being and safety. Those who work for their country, state or municipality must not face any more senseless risk than a private sector employee. Patterson's office contends the expansion of areas open to handguns will be regulated by greater notice and penalty for violating the law. The proposed changes include requiring bars to post notice that weapons are prohibit­ ed, slightly adjusting the suspension penalty and demanding that notices must be made in Spanish, English, and written in "contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height." How thoughtful. A common defense for concealed weapons argues that the more citizens carrying guns, the safer the society. Weapons, by their- nature, encourage crime. The answer is to limit handguns, not to encourage irrational retaliation. This proposal only serves to promote shootouts in chapels while secure communities and buildings become obsolete.

Opportunity knocks Thanks to Clayton Vernon ("Hobby boldly protects educa­ tion," The Daily Texan, Jan. 21) for capturing University of Houston Chancellor Bill Hobby's important role in forcing an official confronta­ tion over the Hopwood case. Hopwood distills the central issue of our time: Do we stand for equal opportunity at the Universi­ ty, or do we not? And if we stand for equal opportunity, how can we permit federal judges to turn back the clock to 1953? Bill Israel Doctoral candidate in journalism True diversity Before we start praising Gov. George Bush's efforts at "increasing diversity" on the UT System Board of Regents, lets look a little more carefully at his three recent regent appointees. Hmm, an oil executive, a retired bank executive and a senior partner in a Houston Jaw firm. I'm sure these three "civic leaders" have only the best inter­ ests of die UT system at heart, but if true diversity (of any sort) is to be achieved, the UT System needs a couple of regents who have done more than make a lot of money. A teacher of only modest means, a struggling scientist or an impover­ ished writer (of any skin-color) would bring more "diversity" to the Board of Regents than another status-seeking campaign donor. If Bush were to look beyond his circle of political lap dogs, he would find many minorities with the leader­ ship and vision to improve higher education in Texas. James Saunders UT staff Correction In your Tuesday, (1/197) article "Horns scoop up 8 more promises," you stated that UT recruit WR David Aaron was from San Anto­ nio Marshall.

Bradley Lingold Plan II freshman Brain trustworthy From Jan. 11 through Jan. 13, much of Texas, including Austin, was paralyzed with one of its worst ice storms in recent memory. While the University was closed, as it should have been, on Monday the 13th, for some reason it was report­ ing that classes would resume at noon the following day. It was not until that morning, after 11 a.m., that the University decided to close its doors. As a commuting student, I drove in for a 12:30 class — not the University had knowing announced its closing for the day. Since I live near Wells Branch Park­ way and FM 1325, 17 miles from campus, I found it a great annoy­ ance that school had been canceled. More annoying was the idea that some genius in the University's administration thought it would be appropriate to have classes in the first place. With a forecasted high of only 33 or 34 degrees, it was obvious a great majority of the thick ice on the campus's sidewalks would not have melted at all, even after the noon bell. Even the following day, when temperatures rose to near 50 degrees, some ice around school had not yet melted. I parked in a lot that charges $3.50, walked (and slipped) over to Welch Hall, and only then did I hear that classes would not take place. I am glad that the University can­ celed classes, since the walkways were dangerous to unaccustomed students. However, the University's think­ ing the day before was almost laughable. How could a school's brain trust be so lacking in common sense? J.C. Zamora College of Natural Sciences Undeclared freshman III advised There is a fee that we all pay called the "advising fee." One would assume that having paid that fee, we would get some "advising" and help from our departments That does not seem to be the case. When I walked into the adviser's office this afternoon, I expected some help with trying to add a class. I explained my situation to the adviser as best as I could. She listened and proceeded to tell me that she was not able to let me in the class for two reasons: 1) the class is full and 2) the class is reserved for people taking or hav­ ing taken a particular computer sci­ ence class. The first reason is per­ fectly acceptable. The second would normally be fine as well, except that what she told me is not the same thing as what the course schedule says. It seems they have decided to change up the prerequi­ site at the last minute. As I tried to explain my situation further, she tried to help for a very brief moment and then told me that she "really has to help the next stu­ dent." Huh? Do I not deserve to be helped? What's the deal here? Don't I deserve to have my prob­ lems solved? I understand that this is a very busy time for them, but I really think I deserve more than the three minutes she gave me. It is very pos­ sible I will have to delay my gradu­ ation plans because of this problem. Shing Lin Computer science junior Repeal helmet law There could not be a better exam­ ple of intrusive government than the Austin City Council's require­ ment that bicyclists must wear hel­ mets. As Austin residents, we are tax dollars spending valuable enforcing a proposal that does little to enhance safety. More important­ ly, even if the helmet ordinance does enhance safety, does Austin have the right to trample on our lib­ erty and force us to wear something we do not want? Doug Ballew, a proponent of the ordinance argues mat helmets save tax dollars in the long run. Howev­ er, how much is the city spending to enforce this silly ordinance? Most likely, the costs of enforce­ ment outweighs any medical costs taxpayers will have to pay for med­ ical treatment of bicycle injuries. Furthermore, to presume that tax­ payers will have to pay for medical treatment of these injuries is also a bit fallacious. A large majority of Americans have medical insurance to cover such injuries. What is most important though, is not whether taxpayers will have to pay for the seriously injured, but whether or not we as Americans have the liberty to make our own choices for ourselves. Personally, I am tired of the gov­ ernment telling me I must wear my seat belt and wear a bicycle helmet. If I choose to be unsafe, that is my personal choice. As citizens, we should embrace the movement to repeal the helmet law, not because you like to ride your bike without a helmet, but because you embrace the ability of individuals to think for themselves.

"Getting to the new building without disrupting med­ ical services for students, is one of my top priorities," said Carpenter, who replaced interim Health Center Director David Drum on Jan. 1. Drum was appointed interim director after the former director, Robert Wirag, left the center in January 1995, after seven years of service. James Vick, vice president for student affairs, selected Carpenter from a group of four finalists for the job. "She is an outstanding person," said David Drum, associate vice president for student affairs. "She has good people skills and understands college health. She understands the needs of the consumers: students."

Suspended fraternity reinstated RICHARD LU_____________ Daily Texan Staff After a seven-year absence, a UT fratern ity su sp e n d e d in 1990 for several hazing incidents is return­ ing to campus this month. Sigma Nu, a fraternity known for its anti-hazing stance, will finish recru itin g new m em bers and re ­ establishing its UT chapter by the end of this month. Jim Vick, UT vice president for student affairs, said the fraternity w as su s p e n d e d for " b la ta n t and multiple violations of the Universi­ ty's hazing policy." The U n iv ersity su sp e n d e d the 100-member fraternity following a well-publicized hazing incident in 1990. Pledge Mark Sanders claimed that fellow m em bers paddled him on the buttocks at least 20 times, among other violations. Inv estig atio n s of the fratern ity house revealed a mud-filled pit in the floor of a d o w n sta irs closet into which members had lowered Sanders and others for 30 minutes at a time. S an d ers' affid av it recalled the night of Nov. 10, 1990, when mem­ bers set his pants on fire, hooked the claw end of a ham m er around his testicles and led him around a room with it for 20 seconds. After the incident, the national Sigma Nu chapter cooperated w ith UT offi­ cials to help close the UT chapter. David Glassman, assistant execu­ tive director for the national Sigma Nu chapter, said the fraternity was fo u n d e d in 1869 to be exp licitly against hazing. Sigma N u's official policy prohibits any action taken against a pledge or active member that "creates physical or mental dis­ comfort," he said. The purpose of a fraternity, Glassman said, "is to build people up, not to tear them down." UT officials said they hope to see an im provem ent in UT Sigma Nu chapter's conduct. Dean of Students Sharon Justice, who investigated the 1990 hazing incident, said she expects the UT chapter of Sigma Nu to "adhere to and fully embrace the tenets upon which they were founded." "I would like them to be a strong, well-performing fraternity. I think that's possible," said Noel Landuyt, adviser of the Interfratemity Council. Instead of hazing, Sigma Nu has developed the L eadership Ethics Achievement Development Program. New pledges must enter and complete the three-month program in place of traditional fraternity initiations. "The program's goal is to develop someone who can gain peer respect by making ethical decisions," Glass­ man said. Glassm an said he would like to see the UT c h a p te r becom e "a m odel th at other fraternities can look to in p ro v id in g a beneficial experience to its members." Vick added that the Departm ent of Fraternal Education will help to p re v e n t fu tu re h az in g in c id e n ts within fraternities by working with the officers of various fraternities an d p ro v id in g e d u c a tio n a l an d leadership programs.

Dave Baker, owner of Bikes Not Bombs, a non-profit bicycle repair shop, plans to launch a Yellow Bike program in Austin Jan. 25, distributing free refurbished bicycles to the public. Bicycle helmets are not included. Employees of Bikes Not Bombs will refurbish 24 damaged bicycles and mark them with yellow reflective stick­ ers. They will then give away the yel­ low bicycles at Wheatsville Food Co­ op, 3101 Guadalupe St. John Toms, a bicyde-program coor­ dinator, said each bicyde will have a sticker with instructional information, asking people who are finished using them to leave the bicydes in a public location where other residents can find them "This is an ongoing project," Toms said. "W e should continue to donate more bikes and urge people to support the program and even learn how to make their own repairs." Toms said bicyde donations can be dropped off at the Bikes Not Bombs headquarters at 4701 Avenue H.

"This is one of the last major flaws in our crimi­ nal justice system," said John Whitmire, D-Hous- tón. "These individuals th at are sentenced u nd er the old mandatory release bill, all of them are released based on a mathematical for­ m ula. T h a t's nuts, and it m ust be stopped this session." Sens. Whitmire and Jerry Patterson, R-Pasadena, co-authored the proposal. W hitm ire said the m and atory release provision was created in 1977 to combat the crowded Texas prison space. He said the law was repealed in 1987 for violent offenders, and in 1995 for non-violent offenders. The bill filed Tuesday does not force inmates to serve their entire sentence in prison, but allows the parole board to determine if an individual is a threat to so ciety befo re su pervised release, Whitmire said. Mandatory release is determined under the mathematical formula of good time plus time served equals the sentence. M em bers from Ju stice for All, a crim in al ju stic e reform ad vocacy group, joined the two senators at the Capitol press conference Tuesday in announcing the bill. Group member Stephanie Palmer said four years ago a convicted car thief, released early under the manda­ tory release statute, entered her home and shot her point blank with a 12- gauge shotgun. She and her children survived, but she said the incident has left visual and emotional scars. 'T o see your mother's face halfway blown off and all over the floor is quite traumatizing for an 8- year-old," she said. The program should cost the state about $400 million, but proponents stress that added safety is well worth the cost. "Let's think lives, not dollar signs," Palmer said. She added that the incident has cost her and her insu rance com pany $500,000 in hospital stay and surgeiy. But a m em ber of Texas C itizens United for the R eh ab ilitatio n of Errants, a prisoners' rights advocacy group, said cutting parole prospects may be harmful to the prison system. Linda Marin, a executive director for the group, said the likelihood of early release with good behavior keeps pris­ oners from causing problems in prison. "To remove the hope of getting out early creates a danger to the staff," Marin said. "Sometimes early release is the one hope that prisoners have." M arin qu estion s the criteria the board uses in determining whether prisoners are eligible for supervised release. She said the parole board is too discretionary in the evaluation. "Their load is such that I really don't think they have the opportunity to evaluate each individual," Marin said. Whitmire projected that prisoners released on parole will be maintained at 20 percent for nonviolent offenders and 4 percent for violent offenders if the law is enacted. He said otherwise, all violent offend­ ers who committed a crime between 1977 and 1987 would be mandatorily released. Patterson said the bill should be con­ stitutionally sound because it does not extend prison sentencing, but main­ tains institutional supervision depend­ ing on w hether tne parole board decides to do so.

Fresh off two straight conference wins at home, the Lady Longhorns' head coach is none too eager for her team to get on the road again. But since Conradt is only a coach and not a schedule maker, No. 12 Texas will have to make the trek to Norman, Okla. Wednesday for a re­ match with the Oklahoma Sooners. "You never like going on the road," Conradt said. "But with the rivalry between Texas and Okla­ homa, I would suspect that they will try to build up attendance for this game. There's a big difference in playing at their place and not ours." The Longhorns (10-3 overall, 4-1 Big 12) have been playing some of their best ball of the season over the past week, trouncing Texas A&M by 37 points last Wednesday before upsetting then-No. 11 Kansas Jay- hawks 82-72 three days later. But that was in front of a sympa­ thetic, Orange-blooded throng in the friendly and familiar-confines of the Erwin Center. Texas can expect decidedly less support from the Sooner faithful expected to pack the Lloyd*Noble Center for this contest, foe first of a two-game UT road swing that also includes a trip to Mis­ souri. Yet despite the sure pres­ ence of a hostile crowd, senior guard Angie Jo Ogletree said foe Horns will go into foe game with a calculated confidence. "We actually feel confident going back out on foe road again, given how well we played in foe Kansas game," Ogletree said. "But we need to stay very focused because [foe Sooners] are a hard team to play at home." Under any other circumstances, Oklahoma might be an easy oppo­ nent for foe Lady Horns to overlook. The Sooners are only 5-10 this sea­ son with a 1-4 conference mark, reside in foe Big 12 South cellar, and are currently riding a four game los­ ing streak. Oklahoma also enters foe game without second-leading scorer Tina Taylor (12.6 ppg), who sprained her Please see Texas, page 8 THOMAS TERRY/Daily Texan Staff Texas’ Amy Smith (10) drives around a pick set by teammate Danielle Viglione (13) during Saturday’s match-up with the Kansas Jayhawks. Coleman aims for big chance 5th year senior Al Coleman has finally gotten his chance to shine fo r the Horns MIKE FINGER_________________ sort of lose foe love to play basketball, Daily Texan Staff he said. "It becomes all work and no fun, and that was tough on me. It was like God was training me in foe House of Frustrations." To say that Al Coleman has under­ gone a transformation during his time at Texas would be an understatement. So much has changed, in fact, that one might be led to believe that absolutely nothing has remained constant in foe life of the eldest member of the No. 23 Runnin' Horns. Coleman has neared rock-bottom emo­ tionally, been reborn spiritually and lived "a dream," all in foe span of five years. But as trivial as it may seem in foe grand scheme of things, one aspect of Coleman's college career has always been present: foe ability to guide a bas­ ketball through a white nylon net from long distances. And while his shooting prowess has gone unnoticed for so long, that is exactly where his story begins. Coleman was a genuine star in 1992 coming out of Alief Hastings High School, where he had earned a reputa­ tion as one of the most prized recruits at the guard position in foe country. And although his defense was steady and he was a reliable passer, what really had the scouts calling was his 340 career three-pointers. "I've always been able to shoot," Coleman said. "That's my specialty and that's what they recruited me for." But despite the fact that his shot never left him, things were not going as planned for foe 6'l"guard. Players came and went for coach Tom Penders, but Coleman's playing time became virtual­ ly nonexistent. Coleman went from 134 minutes of action as a freshman to only 40 in his sophomore and junior seasons com­ bined, and even though he knew that backing up players like B.J. Tyler and Terrence Rencher was nothing to be ashamed of, Coleman realized some­ thing was missing. "Over the years, when you sit the bench and never get to play much, you Coleman turned to religion in the midst of his struggles on the court, and he now says making that commitment was foe best decision he has ever made. He made a name for himself around foe campus by becoming an active member of a campus ministry, and while he says that experience was fulfilling, his bas­ ketball frustrations did not subside. "It's easy to get down on yourself when you're foe only person on the bench with a scholarship," said Cole­ man, who will graduate with a degree in speech communication in August. "You start to think you really aren't any good. Without Jesus in my life, I probably would have quit." At a point in his life when many would have indeed given up, or at least become indifferent to seemingly unre­ warding tasks such as practice, Coleman was always foe first player across foe baseline when the Horns ran wind sprints. And after the formal workouts were over, he could always be found honing his ever-present jump shot. "I never lost faith," he said. "I just had to believe that all that work wasn't going to be for nothing." Fast-forward to 1997. Coleman is still shooting, but now he's draining treys in front of 15,000 fans who have suddenly become as familiar with his fluid stroke as they were with foe moves of Tyler and Rencher. Coleman's coming-out party began in November, when he went off for 37 points at Texas' annual Orange-White scrimmage. Many skeptics labeled that night as his "15 minutes of fame," but instead the performance was merely a preview of tilings to come. Please see Coleman, page 8 JON PATTILLO/Daily Texan Staff Texas’ Al Coleman strokes another one of his long range bombs during a game earlier this season.

This time around, however, don't expect Texas to be caught off-guard by a slumping Oklahoma basketball team.

Oklahoma's slow-down style of basket­ ball and relative height advantage has wrapped up Texas' aggressive, high- tempo offense in the past, an occurrence that head coach Tom Penders is looking to avoid. "We've faced a lot of big teams, and all we have to do is play our style of basket­ ball," Penders said. "We need to get the game into the 80's and 90's and use our athleticism." The look of this year's matchup should be quite different. While Texas returns most of the 1995-96 roster, including Reggie Free­ man, whose 24.4 points per game is good for fifth in the nation, only two members of last year's victorious Sooner squad remain. Most obviously absent from the Oklahoma lineup is Ryan Minor, whose eligibility ended last season. Last year's loss to OU gives Texas a lot of motivation, Freeman said. "It'll be in the back of our minds, but it's in the past and we have to get ready for this game," he said. While last season's loss might still haunt a few of the players, Penders is not one to Please see Runnin’, page 8 Stars tie Philadelphia 3-3 Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia and Dallas both benefited from strange bounces in the third period of their 3-3 tie in a National Hockey League game Tuesday night. Benoit Hogue's first goal in more than a month gave foe Stars a 3-2 lead at the 3:17 mark, but John LeClair tied it for foe Flyers at 9:23. A clearing attempt by foe Flyers banked off foe face of foe Stars' Pat Verbeek to Joe Nieuwendyk, who passed to Hogue alone in front. He then beat Ron Hextall with a short backhand flip into foe top of foe net to give Dallas foe lead. "It was a great pass off Verbeek's cheek," said Hogue, whose last goal came Dec. 18 against Chicago. "I knew I had to go with foe backhander." LeClair tied it when his pass from foe wing banked off Dallas defense- man Derian Hatcher and stopped at foe goal line near foe post. LeClair then tapped the loose puck past Stars goalie Andy Moog. "Overall, we didn't play quite as well as we would have liked," L eC lair said. "I don't know if we came out with foe intensity that we needed to." Jere Lehtinen and Mike Modano also scored for the Stars, while Dale Hawerchuk, Mikael Renberg got foe other Philadelphia goals. Paul Coffey assisted on Philadel­ phia's first goal, moving him past Gordie Howe into second place on the NHL career assists list with 1,050. Coffey, who trails only Wayne Gretzky, added another assist later. The Flyers got solid goaltending from Hextall, especially early in foe game.

Irwin (6-foot-4, 240 pounds, 4.7 40-yard dash) was one of three tight ends who gave oral commitments to the Longhorns over the weekend. Oral commit­ ments are non-binding. The first day that a player can sign a let­ ter of intent is Feb. 5. During the 1996 season, Irwin caught 36 passes for 440 yards but failed to score a single touchdown. Irwin is looking for a school where he can play immediately, and in the pass- happy system of BYU, Irwin could see some action. If Irwin does wind up com­ mitting to BYU, Texas will prob­ ably not shed a tear. Currently at the position, the Longhorns have a three-deep roster return­ ing, and San Antonio Marshall's Mike Jones and Arlington Sam Houston's Doug Ginapp com­ mitted at the tight end spot.

I've always said that one thing I've always liked about this team was that once they get it going, they're working hard to get you the ball." The Hornets made several key defensive stops in the closing sec­ onds to hold off the Rockets, who went almost exclusively to Hakeem Olajuwon in the low post and Drexler from the outside. Vlade Divac came up with a key block on Olajuwon and later saved another possession while diving to the floor. Rice shot 13-of-25 from die floor and 14-of-16 from the free throw line. Drexler was 13-for-19 and 9-for-9. "Clyde Drexler and Glen Rice went after each other," Hornets coach Dave Cowens said. "It was like a shootout. We got a lot of great contributions from our starters and our bench tonight." Dell Curry finished with 23 points and Anthony Mason added 19 points and nine rebounds for the Hornets. Olajuwon scored 26 for Houston, which played without Charles Barkley (sprained ankle). Rice became the first Homet to score 30 or more points in four straight games. He has averaged 32.3 points over the last 12 games. Charlotte snapped the Rockets' four-game winning streak and handed diem their 10th loss of the season. The Hornets are 4-1 against the top three teams in the Western Conference — Houstoa Seattle, and the L.A. Lakers. Charlotte closed the first half with a 12-2 run to take a 57-45 lead at halftime. But Mason and Vlade Divac both got into foul trouble in the second half, and Olajuwon took advantage to score 20 points. Rice scored 26 after intermission and C um r 16 to keep the Rockets from ever taking the lead. Houston drew' within four points late in the third quarter and within three four times in the fourth quarter. The last time was at 100-97 with just under five minutes remaining. But Curry answered with a 3-point­ er and the Hornets never looked back. Coleman: from 12th man to starting five Continued from page 7 Stars u ASSOCIATED PRESS Houston s Clyde Drexler (22) shoots over a Charlotte Hornet opponent. ^ "At the beginning of the inear I said that I wasn't going to give the coach­ es any choice but to play m e/ Coie- man said. "I was determined nof to sat cm the end of the bench agam.' Yet that is exactly where Coleman remained until Dec 18, when the Horns ran into foul trouble at Oregon State. The fifth-year senior came off the bench to score 11 points in 12 min­ utes, leading Texas to a three-point victory. After that, the playing time increased and the shots kept falling. When AI gets his chances, he takes advantage of them," Penders said. "He's everything you want in a student-athlete. I'm glad he toughed it out all this time." Coleman went on to score 17 points each in games against Provi­ dence and Oklahoma State, and eventually earned the starting nod at point guard against Kansas State on Jan. 12. In his first career start, he broke a school record with an amaz­ ing 10 three-point field goals, and racked up 34 points. "He's starting to take over the point guard role, and that's what we've needed," said All-American candidate Reggie Freeman, the Horns' leading scorer. "You can just hand him the ball and say 'go.'" What many college basketball fans are wondering these days is why it took Coleman so long to emerge. The talent was obviously always there, but he says it was not just a matter of talent. "I'm more mentally tough now," he said. "I've finally gotten the drive to play ball again, and I'm gonna go for the gusto." • And in a career full of change, Coleman's newfound fame might be the most overwhelming of them all. After all, multiple television inter­ views aren't easy for a guy who used to be known for waving a towel, but Texas' new scoring threat is slowly adjusting. "It's like a dream, and I still haven't woken up yet," Coleman said. "It's all happened so fast. I hoped and prayed that this would happen for so long, and now that it has, it's unbelievable." Continued from page 7 "If it wasn't for Hexy, we would have been down in a hurry," cap­ tain Eric Lindros said. Dallas' Dave Reid had the best chance to score in the overtime, but his shot toward the open side of the net was knocked away by defense- man Janne Niinimaa. Renberg put Philadelphia ahead 2-1 at 8:48 of the second period when he took a pass from the wing by Lindros and one-timed a shot past Moog. But Modano tied it at 17:17 of the second period when he shoveled a the sprawling Hextall. rebound over With 4:59 gone in the first period, Dallas took a 1-0 lead following a giveaway by Flyers defenseman Eric Desjardins. Lehtinen gathered up the puck Desjardins lost and wristed a shot from the right faceoff dot. The puck hit Hextall, popped up in the air, then dropped behind the goalie as he sprawled to recover. Hatcher helped the Flyers score the power play goal that tied it at 1 with 3:08 left in the first. A turn­ around shot from just inside the blue line by Hawerchuk caromed off Hatcher's leg and past Moog. Runnin’ Continued from page 7 dwell on the past. "I don't even think about it any­ more, "Penders said. Texas is coming off of a heart­ breaking 85-78 overtime loss to the No. 6 Louisville Cardinals Sunday afternoon, and have only confer­ ence games remaining on their schedule. While most coaches stress the importance of winning conference games, Penders feels that all games are crucial on the road to the NCAA tournament, no matter what the affiliation of the opponent is. "If winning the conference was the only way to go to the NCAA's, because of Kansas we'd be looking towards the NIT right now," Pen­ ders said. "You play 26 games, and if we want to protect our high (rat­ ing percentage index) we need to win every one. A win over Okla­ homa would be a quality win. They’re a top 50 program." The Horns will face an Okla­ homa team that features a tall frontcourt, with 6-11 Evan Wiley and 6-9 Bobby Joe Evans set to square off with Texas' 6-9 Dennis Jordan and 6-8 Ira Clark down low’. To negate this advantage, Pen­ ders will have his team running the floor and avoiding the slow­ down game that Oklahoma would benefit from most. "We can't stand around and play a halfcourt game," Penders said. That s when their height advan­ tage will matter the most. We need to focus on what we do well." Texas will also try to keep in line with their nickname of Run­ nin' Horns as Penders hopes to capitalize on their speed by using a fullcourt press against the slow­ er Sooners, keeping the tempo high. "This is a team we think we can press," Penders said. "You have to be able to pick the teams you do that to, and whenever we feel we have a speed advantage we will press." Guards Nate Erdmann and Corey Brewer, who have combined for 45 percent of Oklahom a's offense this season, lead a Sooner backcourt that will have its hands full with Freeman, sophomore Kris Clack and fifth-year senior A1 Coleman, who account for well over half of Texas' 81.4 points per game this season. The impressive play of its guards has always been a strength for Texas, and will need to be again if the Horns are to keep the game moving quickly. "We just want to play the same game w e're used to," Freeman said. "If we just keep running they way we've been doing play pressure defense, and run the offense correctly, we should do well." Texas Continued from page 7 knee three nights ago at Baylor and will miss at least seven to 10 games. But with the sting of a Jan. 11 road loss to Kansas State still fresh on her cheek, Conradt said her team would not approach this game lightly. "I'm still mad about the Kansas State loss," Conradt said minutes after the upset of Kansas. "I'm never getting over it. It was so senseless and it puts pressure on us. Now every road trip is brutal." The Lady Longhorns will also not soon forget the Sooners' gutsy per­ formance the first game of this year's home-and-home series at the Erwin Center on Jan. 7. Thanks to a 20 point, 14 rebound night from Taylor, Oklahoma pushed the Horns to the limit before finally falling 87-69. "Oklahoma gave us all we could handle," Conradt said. "We didn't guard them very well the first time. And we just got through watching ourselves be pretty lackadaisical on the tape of the last [OU] game. Hopefully we'll get ourselves ready this time out." First-year OU coach Sherri Coale said most of the injured Taylor's post position duties will fall to fresh­ man Phylesha Whaley, who has averaged 12.9 points and 6.7 rebounds per game while splitting time with Taylor in the low post. "We have our work cut out for us without Taylor," Coale said. "We'll start with four perimeter players and Whaley will be the lone body in the post. [Whaley] has been a heck of a freshman for us, so she'll have an impact." Offensively, Texas should have lit­ tle trouble exploiting the Sooners' depleted frontcourt with its pair of 6-4 centers, Angela Jackson and Carla Littleton, who combine for 20.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 4.1 blocks per game. Jackson scored a career high 24 in the last meeting with OU, but Coale said Oklahoma will try to overcome the loss of Taylor's size with some strategy. "They wijl certainly have some size on us," Coale said. "But we've got a wrinkle or two for them." Though Coale would not reveal her strategic surprises before game is time, Ogletree said already prepared to expect the unex­ pected. that UT "Any time you play a team twice, they are going to come at you with something different [the second time]," Ogletree said.

Players scout Big Easy Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Young women giggle and i u u ^eir names as they pass through the hotel lobby. Fans press drinks into their hands as they explore Bourbon Street. Jazz joints jump, strip clubs sparkle. Life's a party in New Orleans and the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots are the guests of honor. It s a wild place and a lot of people are ready to party with you if they can," Packers guard Lindsay Knapp said. What we need to do is remember the reason we're here, and it's not to have fun in the French Quarter." True. But there is so much to obscure that sense of purpose. Away from the practice field, the world is waiting and fun is the first order of business. Brandi Miller and girlfriend Heather Jackson, both 18 and from Mississippi, squealed with delight as Green Bay players began streaming into the hotel lobby. To show they were true fans, they clutched pennants and wore Packers T-shirts bearing auto­ graphs of team members. "I'm saving the place over my heart for Brett Favre to sign, Miller said.' I just hope I don't faint when he touches me." We re trying to find out where they're going tonight and maybe hook up with them," Jackson said. It s national party with a player' night and we're volunteers." So many distractions. So little time. In a city where the party never stops, both coaches are counting on their players to focus more on The Game than the fun and games. "Just because the curfew is for 1 a.m. doesn't mean you have to stay out that late," Packers coach Mike Holmgren said. Holmgren began dealing with distractions the day after the Packers won the NFC title. He told his play­ ers to get their game tickets, make their travel plans, and get it done within a day so they could concen­ trate on football. O nce his team hit N ew O rleans, H olm gren counted on early m orning m eetings and hard practice sessions to curb his players' lust for nightlife. "W e've talked a lot abou t it and tried to edu cate them the best we could as to w h a t to expect," H olm g ren said. "It's m y experience th a t by the end of th e w eek m ost of the guys just stay a ro u n d the hotel. They ve had it, and ju st w a n t to play the g am e." Bill Parcel Is set no curfew for the Patriots early in the w eek and gave them Tuesday off. "I d o n 't try to keep them at it for 10 straight days or two weeks, Parcells said. "For me to ham m er, ham ­ mer, ham m er w o u ld n 't pay off. We'll be focused w hen the tim e comes." Like H olm gren, Parcells figured h e'd see enough of his players to be able to m onitor their readiness for the gam e. I know m y players are in 8:30 m eetings w ith me every m orning," Parcells said. "I know w hat they look like at th at hour and I can tell from that pretty well w h a t they've been doing." Players w ere free to sam ple the city's delights prior to the big gam e, and m ost took advantage of it. Early in the week, Packers safety Eugene Robinson grabbed a saxophone at Club 544 and jam m ed with the band. Teammates K napp and G ary Brown w an­ dered Bourbon Street bug-eyed, checking o ut the clubs. Lovett Purnell, a N ew England Patriot rookie, toured the clubs w here there w as live music. At Pat O 'B rien's, tackle Bruce A rm strong, a 10-year veteran, sam pled a H urricane, a fruit punch and rum concoc­ tion th at has caused alm ost as much devastation as the storm for w hich it is nam ed. O ne of the few things specifically placed off limits for the players w ere the New O rleans casinos. "I talked to m y players. I told then to stay out of the casinos," Holm gren said. "T hey'd like to gamble a bit. I like to play cards. But I d o n 't think it's the image football players need to portray this w eek." T h e D a il y T e x a n Wednesday, January 2 2 ,1 9 9 7 Page 9 Comparatively speaking Bledsoe draw s comparisons to other Super Bowl winning quarterbacks ' Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Drew Bledsoe was the AFC's lowest-rated passer last season. Now a Super Fowl opponent is comparing him with Joe Namath. N am a th ? "D rew is a little cocky," Green Bay defensive end Sean Jones said Tuesday. "M aybe th ere 's a little N am ath in him. I'm surprised he hasn t predicted th ey 're going to w in:" Bledsoe to echo isn 't about N am ath's boast that the New York Jets, huge underdogs in the 1969 Super Bowl, w ould win, a guarantee N am ath delivered on against the Baltimore Colts. "1 do n 't think I'm going to get caught up doing that," the wary Bledsoe said. The New England Patriots q u ar­ terback isn't as arrogant or accom ­ plished as N am ath. A nd he's not the b iggest exactly peaking for gam e of his life on Sunday against the Packers, although he's risen far from the bottom of the passing charts. Bledsoe was ranked fifth in the AFC during the regular season but, in his two playoff games, has throw n for just 357 yards and one touch­ dow n with three interceptions. He's not w orried that his slum p will con­ tinue. "I know' w h at's h ap p en in g in those situations and there w'ere a couple of them that w ere just poor decisions," Bledsoe said. "But those are things th at I d o n 't have any problem correcting and things that d o n 't happen to me a great deal." Bledsoe has had an up-and-dow n career since being taken w ith the first pick of the 1993 draft. He was decent as a rookie, dom inant the fol­ lowing season and disappointing in 1995, w hen he w as ham pered by a left sho ulder injury. He sta rte d slow ly in the first tw o g am es th is season, b o th losses, then tu rn e d his season around in the th ird gam e. O ver one five- gam e stretch, he com pleted m ore than 70 percen t of his passes four tim es. But in his last two regular-season gam es, he threw five interceptions and tw o touchdow ns, although he ended the regular-season by leading the Patriots from a 22-0 halftime deficit to a 23-22 victory over the New York Giants. It w as a dram atic victory, rem inis­ cent of som e of N am ath's trium phs. But Jones' character analysis of Bled­ soe shocked Patriots left tackle Bruce A rm strong. "I d o n 't know where the hell Sean got that one from," Arm strong said. "I d o n 't see any of Joe in Drew. D rew's m ore like Joe M ontana than Joe N am ath, because Drew's laid back." Joe M ontana? The reality is Bledsoe has his own style, a pocket passer with a strong arm who has become more disci­ plined and is making fewer mis­ takes. Still, he's susceptible to the occasional panicky popup in no one's particular direction when the pressure picks up. Packers free safety Eugene Robin­ son says that can happen to any quarterback. "You've got to understand there's people rushing this guy," Robinson said. "They try to make him throw interceptions. They try to m ake him throw off his back foot. You have to m ake him throw the ball sooner than he'd like." O th e r c o m p ariso n s — w ith S uper Bowl w inn ers Troy A ikm an and Phil Sim m s — a re n 't as flatter- ing. "Aikm an deals w ith the blitz better than Bledsoe," Green Bay strong safe­ ty LeRoy Butler said. "If som eone comes free, it's up to him to pick it up. With Bledsoe, sometimes that hinders his ability to get the ball downfield." A nd guard William Roberts says Bledsoe h asn 't been strengthened by adversity as m uch as Simms, his team m ate w ith the New York G iants on the 1987 and 1991 Super Bowl w inners. "H e's not an in-your-face type of guy," R oberts said of Bledsoe. "Simms w as a lot different. He w ent through a lot. He w as booed. H e w as hurt. He w as unwelcome as a draft pick and he w orked hard. I guess he w anted to show everybody." LEARN TO SAIL ON LAKE TRAVIS with UT Sailing Club C O M E TO O U R G EN ERA L M EETIN G Thurs.

White Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Reggie White thought Mike Holmgren looked nervous the week before the Carolina game for the NFC champi­ onship. So White called a team meeting to discuss the mental state of Green Bay's coach. Holmgren later asked White what was discussed. He said 'I told the younger guys that you were a little tense, but that you'd be OK for the game.'" Yes, Reggie White at 35 is still the rock on which the Green Bay defense is built. He still draws dou­ ble teams that expose quarterbacks to Sean Jones or Santana Dotson and still gets his share of sacks — 8 1 / 2 during the regular season to increase his career mark to 165 1/2, the best since sacks became an official NFL stat in 1982. But his value to the Packers tran­ scends his on-field performance. For Green Bay may be in its first Super Bowl in 29 years as much for his work as recruiter, father figure, inspirational leader and ordained minister as for his dominance at defensive end. For one thing, he's a rallying point for his teammates. Having finally reached his first Super Bowl in 12 NFL seasons, he's become a symbol for Packers who want to "win one for Reggie." "When we win the Super Bowl, the first thing I'm going to look at is Reggie's face," said safety LeRoy Butler. White arrived in Green Bay in 1993 as the first free-agent superstar, signing a $17 million, four-year deal. He signed after what was mock­ ingly called the "Reggie White Grand Tour," a trip during which he proclaimed his desire to play where he could practice his inner-city min­ istry. When he decided on Green Bay, where the inner city consists of motels, fast-food franchises and strip malls, there were guffaws galore. White readily acknowledges he might have gone elsewhere. "If San Francisco or Washington had come within $1 million of what the Packers offered, I would have gone there," he says. "But they did­ n't, so I came here." The Packers don't care about the circumstances. "No one was quite sure how we'd fare in free agency," Holmgren says. "It's a small town, the weather gets a little chilly. Reggie's our best recruiter. People w ant to play w ith him . They w ant him as a team ­ m ate." The m ost im portant of those is Brett Favre, w ho has been the NFL's MVP the last tw o years. He has a running dispute w ith W hite over w ho is the team leader. "O f course, it's Brett," W hite says. "The quarterback is the leader on any team ." In reality, it's W hite and Favre or Favre and White. The ord er doesn't matter. T hey're an odd couple — a black B aptist m in iste r from T ennessee and a w h ite kid from ru ral M issis­ sippi w h o 's had to overcom e a re p ­ u tation as a hard-living good ol' boy. Every w eek or so this season, W hite has m ade a nighttim e pho ne call to Favre just to rem ind him of th e ir com m on goal, th e S u p er Bowl. "Som etim es he to my an sw erin g m achine," F avre says, "b u t I get the message." talks He s not the only one w h o gets it. W hite has helped avert the kind of off-field problem s am ong younger players th a t have p lag u ed other teams. If he d o esn't have an inner-city m inistry in Green Bay, he has one in the locker room at Lam beau Field and around Green Bay, w here he m ay be even m ore p o p ular than the players w h o w on cham pio nsh ips for Vince Lombardi three decades ago. "I d o n 't think there's any question that he's the most popular player w e've ever had," says Lee Remmel, w ho has been around the Packers for 51 years and is currently the team 's executive director of public rela­ tions. W hite actually practices w hat he preaches. He contributes som e of his $17 million to secular and church projects, and spends time m inister­ ing in im poverished sections of Mil­ w aukee and his hom eto w n of Knoxville, Tenn. I do n 't w ant to be a role m odel," W hite says in his gravelly voice. "A role m odel can be a good role model or a bad role model. I w ant to be a hero. A hero is som eone w ho lives it rather than talks about it all the tim e." By some standards, he is. "W hen I came here, I thought he w as God in pads," w ide receiver Don Beebe says. Instead I found him one of the most hum ble people I met. But he has an am azin g effect on the younger players. G uys on the fence w ho can go either w ay are going to go the good w ay because of Reggie." That aside, W hite is getting as m any kicks from being in his first S u p e r Bowl as the m ost ob sc u re rookies.

When Everette Zeller isn't honing his ball-handling drills on the soccer field, he's juggling a full load of classes in actuarial math. Despite his academic path, Zeller has trouble adding up his goal total. Zeller led the UT Soccer Club in scoring this past season. "I really don't even think about how many times I've scored," Zeller says. "This is a team sport and we all play to bring recognition to the team." For the record, Zeller has scored 15 times in 23 games as the starting midfielder. Zeller's two-goal performance against Lamar in a regional qualifier boosted the team to a berth in the National Club Soccer Association Tournament this past November. The team suffered one loss in the tournament, but stormed back to beat Michigan 2-1 in the national finals. Zeller transferred to Texas three years ago after play­ ing two years at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth. Zeller came to UT to focus on schooling, but soccer quickly became his favorite study break. Footnotes Perhaps there's a pair of worn-out athletic shoes in your closet that deserves an honorable retirement. R E U S E The duct tape-encrusted high tops you wore the first time you stuck big brother's jum per back in his face, the running shoes that carried you over the river and through the woods for months on end without a whim per— those puppies deserve more than the W S H O E usual Dum pster burial. NIKE's Reuse-a-Shoe campaign gives you that chance. Each year, NIKE collects more than a million pairs of shoes at retail outlets, community centers— and col­ lege campuses—across the country. The shoes then are ground into materials that can be used to construct run­ ning tracks, basketball and tennis courts. The program keeps tons of matter out of our nation's landfills. It also provides a fitting way to pay homage. Watch this space for details about where to find Reuse- a-Shoe collection canisters around campus this spring.

INTRAMURAL OR CLUB S T O I ^ W W a N ^ Show me the money Rangers help shed low-budget reputation hy signing key Rodrig, Pavlik and Palmer players like Wetteland, A Associated Press ARLINGTON — Another, day, another multimillion-dollar deal for the suddenly spend-happy Texas Rangers. Texas sign ed All-Star pitcher " Roger Pavlik to a $2.85 million contract Tuesday, boosting the tab ‘2T*on its three-day shopping spree to $13.3 m illion and keeping them out of salary arbitration this w in­ ter. Pavlik, 29, was 15-8 with a 5.19 ERA last season. He struck out 127 and walked 81 in 201 innings. He threw a one-hitter in May as part of a 12-2 start that helped him earn his first All-Star invitation. Pavlik was the third arbitration- eligible Ranger in as many days to sign a one-year deal. All-Star catcher Ivan Rodriguez got a single-season record of $6.65 million on Sunday and third baseman Dean Palmer got a 149 percent raise Monday by sign­ ing for $4.8 million. Such willingness to spend money is crushing the ownership's tight­ wad reputation. The shards of that memory can gather dust alongside the franchise's reputation for losing, which ended last season when Texas •> w on the AL West. . . - r i The payroll for that title was between $37 million and $38 mil­ lion. Management had hoped to keep this year's payroll around $44 million. Forget that. Consider these 1997 figures: ■ The Rangers have committed more than $51 million to the 24 signed players on their major league roster. Another 15 players on the ros­ ter have not signed. I About $48.2 million is spread among 12 players. That includes the five-man starting rotation, which last season w on a major league-best 75 games. They will make a com­ bined $14.15 million. The Rangers have done their spending in binges, this week's surge being the latest example. Since Dec. 16, they've spent $19.55 million on five players, signing free agent closer John Wetteland, the World Series MVP, and four Rangers eligible for arbitration, including pitcher Darren Oliver. Overall, they've spent $23,325,000 on 11 players this offseason. What does it all mean? First, the Rangers are in jeop­ ardy of having a payroll over $51 m illion, which could possibly sub­ ject them to the 35 percent luxury tax. Only the top five teams over that mark will pay, so Texas could be spared by deep-pocketed brethren such as Florida, Atlanta, Toronto, the Chicago White Sox and the N ew York Yankees. Also, Texas is faced with a w in­ now mentality. A rough start could mean trading away some salary, probably begin­ ning with the five players who will be eligible for free agency after this season: pitchers Ken Hill, John Bur­ kett, Bobby Witt; and Rodriguez and Palmer. Another possibility is Oliver, whose salary jumped to $1 million this year from $180,000. Rodriguez, a five-time All-Star by the time he turned 25, is the least likely to go. Negotiations are ongo­ ing for a long-term deal. One w ay Texas expects to pay its bills is through strong attendance. The Rangers already have sold more season tickets than last year (over 1,300 full packages and nearly 7,000 mini plans) and could come close to their best-selling year ever. They set a single-day record the day after Wetteland signed. Health Quest THERAPY AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE Do You Have A Fever?

T he D aily T exan Wednesday, January 22,1997 Page 11 Donnie Baseball says goodbye to Yankees Associated Press NEW YORK — Don Mattingly, the greatest New York Yankees player never to reach the W'orld Series, will never get that chance. Mattingly, who sat out last season when New York won the championship, is set to formally announce his retirement Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. A news conference has been called for 2 p.m. CST. A six-time All-Star and a nine-time Gold Glove first baseman, Mattingly hit .307 in a 14-season career. He w as the AL MVP in 1985, later became only the 10th player to be named captain of the Yankees and earned the nickname "Donnie Base­ ball" as a fan favorite in New York. Mattingly became a free agent after the 1995 sea­ son, saying he did not intend to play in 1996. He left open the possibility that he would return at another date, however. In his last two years combined, Mattingly hit just 13 homers and drove in only 100 runs. Last September, during a charity golf outing in his hometown of Evansville, Ind., Mattingly said he had "90 percent" made a decision on whether to play again. At the time, though, he did not def­ initely say what he would do. "If and when I go back, I want at-bats, and it doesn t matter where I'm getting them from," Mattingly said then. Mattingly, 35, recently said som e teams had contacted him about a comeback, although no clubs publicly indicated they w ould offer him a contract. The Yankees acquired Tino Martinez and Cecil Fielder to play first base last season. Martinez, obtained in an offseason deal with Seattle, hit .292 with 25 home runs and 117 RBIs and Fielder hit 13 of his 39 homers last year after being from Detroit in late July. Mattingly played briefly for the Yankees in 1982, the year after they lost the World Series to Los Ange­ les. The Yankees did not reach postseason play again until 1995, their longest such drought since the days of Babe Ruth. Mattingly hit .288 with just seven homers and 49 RBIs in 1995, but finished strong in his first appear­ ance in the playoffs. In the opening round of the AL playoffs, he batted .417 with one homer and six RBIs in the Yankees' five-game loss to Seattle. In 1991, Mattingly was appointed captain of the Yankees, an honor he held for five years — the last Yankees player to be captain for a longer period was Lou Gehrig, who had the position from 1935- 1941. m um m iiR ♦easy access to a week’s worth of The Daily Texan. ♦students, faculty, staff and UT graduates world-wide click into the WebTexan. ♦from a former UT student: It’s amazing that I can Hong Kong.

The m elancholic instruc­ tion of You Gotta M ove and the low -frequency buzz of The Fix Is In m ake for the most intriguing moments on the album with their entranc­ ing m elodies and breathy vocals.

Although the life* of the piece requires a slow heartbeat, director Jill Parker-Jones fails to capitalize on the show's more pulsating moments. For instance, scenes which por­ tray the Oxford scholars' verbal sparring should be spirited, loud and fast-paced. Instead, they are labored and awkward. What ever happened to people talking over each other? It is as if each actor wants to turn to the audience after «^very line and whisper: So did you "get" that? Secondly, the play takes no real risks. If Live Oak insists on restag­ ing plays that have already been made into films (other offerings in the recent past include Lost in Yonkers, On Golden Pond and Educat­ ing Rita), they must offer more than admirable acting and sets. They must make it worthy of our time and money by saying something new. Nicholson's probing piece hits at both the visceral and intellectual levels. To Live Oak's credit, the dilemmas and poignancy of Nichol­ son's piece do come through. But by milking the performance, however, Shadowlands unfortunately conde­ scends to the intellect and overkills on the visceral. Babs George, Ryan Boggus and Ev Lunning Jr., from left, form a tender tableau In Shadowlands. and the two strike up an unlikely, if not quirky, friendship. But when Joy's husband files for divorce, Lewis secretly marries Joy so that she may remain in England. Jack stubbornly protests any emotional devotion to his platonic wife; of course, we know better. Lewis persists in this stodgy, courtly love; but when Joy suddenly falls ill with terminal cancer, it jolts him. Lewis now must grapple with his faith in the face of great suffer­ ing. And suddenly, his beliefs in death, love and pain are no longer merely theoretical. Once again, Live Oak has chosen a thoughtful, probing piece and made it look stunning. Dan Nordha- gen's cozy set consists of thick, wooden chairs with lush velvet seats, overshadowed by a magnifi­ cent, gargantuan wooden wardrobe. The performances, like most Live Oak productions, are first-rate. Lunning's fidgety Lewis is not only believable, but also admirable. And George's savvy and vulnerable Joy is superb. So what's wrong?

Long gone are the days of Take the Money and Run and Bananas. F LM These were the brave new films that pio­ neered and popularized an eclectic style of American com­ edy; these were the films that the brought masses into the off-beat world of Jewish Manhattanites. But though his classic, innovative films have dusted over in the hidden racks of video stores, Woody Allen is not yet long gone himself as his newest release, Everyone Says 1 Love You, still harbors remnants of his earlier works. Eirryone Says 1 Love You doesn't burden itself with twisting plots or an inevitable climax; instead it sim- p»y follows the romantic liaisons of the happy-go-lucky life of a wealthy, liberal Jewish family in Manhattan (of course). bleeding-heart liberal, the mother (Goldie Hawn), the teenyboppers, die younger sisters (Natalie Port- man. Gaby Hoffman), the priss, the older sister (Drew Barrymore), the politically incorrect, the right-wing brother (Lukas Haas) and finally, die eccentric writer DJ's natural father (Allen). Though it seems everyone is groping for romance and lust. Joe (Allen) has the worst itch for it. Frustrated bv life Joe takes DJ to Venice to mend his broken heart for the summer, only to meet his Juliet (Julia Roberts), who doesn't quite know Joe's her Romeo. Despite the fact that Joe is pushing 60 and is a good deal shorter, the romance flourishes, partly by attraction, partly by outright lying. However, Ei'eryotie Says I Love You falters a bit here. Though both Roberts and Allen both portray estranged characters with erratic idiosyncrasies, their chemistry is incredibly contrived and hardly believable. But no matter, Everyone Says I Loi'e You bounces around from cou­ ple to couple to keep the audience from being weighed down by one trite love story. Not that the film could be weighed down by much. Everyone Says I Love You is sung as much as spoken, danced as much as acted. Allen's first musical is chock- full of feel-good oldies blended with new scores as well. Narrated by second daughter DJ (Natasha Lyonne), the film intro­ duces the audience to a world of utter perfection, populated by the stereotypical characters that make GokHe Hawn Mid Alan Alda wore tha only actors In the new musical Every- up DJ's family: the wealthy attor- one Says I Love You who actually had some training in singing and dancing, ney, the stepdad (Alan Alda), the JOHN CLEESE JAMIE LEE CURTIS KEVIN KUNE MICHAEL PAUN Julia Roberts may sing, but does no lousy accents in this film. Though the lineup of actors does­ n't speak of a wildly talented group of performing artists, Allen obvi­ ously isn't too preoccupied with this. Who hasn't had an outburst of emotion, a desire to sing in public regardless of your tone-deafness? Granted, Barrymore is obviously lip-syncing, a sad sign of her abili­ ties since they let even Julia Roberts belt one out. Allen can't sing; in fact no one really can, but the songs are cute and the singing never gets irri­ tating. But more important, the movie works.

Cosmo: end of an era for fashion magazine Continued from page 13 Asked whether the cover would continue to show a model with a plunging neckline and lots of cleavage, Fuller said only that the covers will continue to project an image of “confidence and empow­ ered sexuality." Under Brown, Cosmopolitan became the best-selling women's magazine in the world.

Don't touch any­ thing on his desk. ... Try not to nag. ... Don't ever criticize him in pub­ lic," a feature in the February issue advises. Brown argues that today's femi­ nists spend too much time blaming men for women's problems. “I've said, 'You're the problem — get out there and do something.' They have accused me rightly of having women be sex objects. That's right — you're a sex object if somebody wants to go to bed with you," she said. “ I think a true fem­ inist is someone who wants equali­ ty for both genders." Thirty-five years ago, Brown was in the vanguard of the women's movement with her 1962 best seller, Sex and the Single Girl.

Brown turned the magazine into a monthly instruction book for the modern, have-it-all Cosmo girl. Akprimary ingredient from the start hás been sex, sex and more sex, with titillating cover lines writ­ ten by Brown'* husband, former editor David BroWn: “The startling truth about sex addrdts"; “ How to be very good in b ed ";'“The terrible danger of a perfect sex partner." “I've never known for sure why sex always worked for me," Brown said. “I grew up in a very repressed era. But I, Helen Brown, feel, think, know that it's one of life's great plea­ sures, so you should be having it."

John Rishling, associate vice president for cam pus planning, said Tuesday the Student Services Building is on track to open in July, capping a two-year, $24 million construction project designed to consolidate several offices scattered around campus. Jeanne C arpenter, director of stu d en t health services, said the health services facil­ ities will occupy 40 percent of the new stu­ dent services building. O ther offices joining it include Legal Ser­ vices for Students, student financial services, the Student Governm ent, the dean of stu­ dents, the ID center, the om budsm an, the pharm acy and the Counseling and Mental H ealth Center. Carpenter said the num ber of exam room s will double, and she hopes the new building will attract a greater num ber of patients. "I imagine ou r volum e will increase due the num ber of stud en ts w ho w ill know w here we are," C arpenter said. "The high- profile location of our pharm acy and health program s will cause an increase in the u ti­ lization of those services." In addition to consolidating current health services, the departm ent plans to unveil new facilities as well. Dr. Ray M. Johnson, medical director for the student health center, said new sports medicine and physical therapy facilities will occupy the first floor and will be available for both athletes and the rest of the stu dent population. Johnson said the sports medicine staff will consist of the team physician for Intercolle­ giate Athletics for Women, the director of athletic medicine for men, and an orthopedic resident from UT-San A ntonio's Health Sci- Health center: out with the old, in with the new Comparison of current Student Health Center building statistics to that of the building under construction.

Johnson said sports medicine physicians will treat any athletics-related injuries, from knee strains to ankle sprains. The facilities are also equipp ed to handle m inor opera­ tions, including stitching lacerations and casting broken limbs, he added. O n the sam e floor, Johnson said, the radi­ ology wing will allow both the urg ent care and sports-related cases easy access. Adjacent to the sports medicine depart­ ment, Johnson said, a section of the first floor will house a physical therapy unit. The unit will be staffed by a full time physical therapist and equipped w ith whirlpools, treadmills, and stationary bikes to aid students undergo­ ing rehabilitation for past injuries or surgeries. Johnson said, w ith the exception of physi­ cal therapy, all office visits for students are covered un d er the medical services fee, but any procedures w ould cost extra. Procedures include diagnostic tests like X-rays and lab w ork as well as m inor surgical operations. In a d d itio n to creating new facilities, health service officials w anted to im prove u p o n the im personal atm osphere of the old health center. Beth Bushi, associate director for health services, said health service seem s im per­ sonal because the curren t b u ild in g w as designed as a hospital, w ith w aiting rooms, surgery bays and exam room s that m ake inefficient use of space. Bushi also said the layout is not conducive to clinical care, requiring patients to sign-in and w alk dow n long corridors to find their exam room s w ithout assistance from the nursing staff. "W e w ant to make it seem like a clinic you w ould see in the com m unity instead of a cold, institutionalized facility," Bushi said. The sterile, alm ost w ard-like atm osphere of the current health center is definitely a SOURCE: UT Student Health Administration stark contrast from the airy design of the ser­ vices building w ith its sunlit atrium , cozy w aiting room s an d brightly colored walls. Instead of trying to renovate the old b u ild ­ ing, h e a lth service officials d ecided to restructure prim ary care into m odules for the new building, Bushi said. U nder the new system , general m edical staff is divided into team s called m odules. Each m odule consists of a nurse's station, several doctors' offices, a treatm ent room and a set of exam rooms. C arpenter said the m odular design w ould strengthen the patient-physician relation­ ship by encouraging students to see the sam e m edical staff. This continuity of care, Carpenter said, would help personalize service, making the process more convenient for both students and staff. "If the physician has a relationship w ith the patient and know s th at patients m edical history, he m ay be able to arrive at the appropriate diagnosis m ore easily than a physician w ho has never seen the patient PAUL FITERSON/Daily Texan Staff before the day of the visit," C arpenter said.

"N o one can guarantee th at a rare condi­ tion will be diagnosed an d treated before som ething bad happens to the patient," C ar­ pen ter added. "But w e try o u r best to offer continuous medical education to o u r staff an d prom ote continuity of care so th at accu­ rate diagnoses are m ade as quickly as they can be m ade."
