Each candidate took turns, while th e o th e rs w a ited in th e hall,' ad d ressing how they would help meet certain goals for the southeast area o f A u stin p ro p o se d by the neighborhood alliance. "I like the idea that their question was com prehensive and im prom ptu," said Gus G arcia, current m ayor pro tern and a m ayoral candidate. Garcia said it was a different type of forum than what he has experienced in the- past. D iane Sanders, Southeast Corner Alliance of Neighborhoods president, led the forum, asking each candidate in turn how he or she will help the n eig h bo rh o o d a llia n c e a ch iev e its g oals, including the prevention of flooding, the estab­ lishment of a health clinic in the area, a solution to the area's traffic congestion and the creation of a new high school for the southeast section. "W e have well over a thousand students that go to high school in this area that have to be bused to other schools," Sanders said. About 20 representatives from various neigh­ borhood associations in Southeast Austin attend­ ed the forum to hear what the four candidates had to say. Sanders said the alliance is also concerned with enforcement of the city's graffiti ordinance. Garcia agreed with alliance members that the Austin Independent School District should build a new high school in the southeast area. He also acknowledged that the area is in need of a health clinic. I his area doesn't have a clinic that serves it," G a rcia told the n eig h b o rs. " I t 's en o rm o u sly important in a neighborhood that is not in a high- income bracket that we have good access to med­ ical care." M ayoral can d id ate Kirk W atson, an Austin attorney, suggested that traffic light synchroniza­ tion in the southeast part of town could ease the area's traffic flow problems. Watson said reform- ing C apitol M etro with a perform ance review and allowing residents to vote on the light rail would also address this problem. Watson also stressed the importance of neigh­ borhoods joining together to impact city growth and development. 'If we have strong, healthy neighborhoods, we THOMAS TERRY/Daily Texan Staff Mayoral condidate Ronney Reynolds speaks the S o u th east C orner A llian ce of at Neighborhoods meeting Monday as Bobby Enriquez, City Council Place 5 candidate, looks on. will have a strong, healthy city," he said.

Tsai had threatened last week to w ithhold student fees from The Texan in reaction to a decision by the Texas Student Publications Board of Acting Directors to shift the final decision-making ability over news content from the student-elected editor to the TSP board-appointed managing editor, also a student But committee members wen' not as convinced as Tsai of the severity of the TSP Board's decision and defeated the motion, voting instead to approve The Texan to receive just over $5,0(X) more than last year, " Fhe fee committee has now recused itself of any responsibility in this Issue," Tsai said Monday. He said he w’as disappointed in the1 committee's disinter­ est in the issue of final news say at The Texan. "It is a clear shirking of responsibility . based in fear on behalf of the fee committee to get involved," he said A letter from TSP Board President David Jinnght, a sociology senior, was sent to each member of the committee Fnday, urging them to have confidence in the board's intentions to help 7 V Texan remain stu­ dent-controlled. Jinnght stated in his letter that any action by the committee to withhold fees from The Texan or any other TSP entity would not only endanger its ability to provide a service to students, but would also inter­ rupt negotiations between Texan staff members and the TSP Board to resolve the issue internally.

The UT DDP budget was allocated on the stipulation that negotiations with the University Co-Op for addi­ tional funding continue, and if the Co- Op contributes a proposed $18,600, that figure would be returned to the Student Services Fee Committee and added to its reserve funding pool.

In its present form, im migration, both legal and illegal, continues to harm — rather than help — our country. The crisis does not stem from the im migrants' ethnicity, but from their sheer num­ bers. Every year, about one million people im mi­ grate into our nation — a num ber rivaling the last great wave of immigrants around the turn of the century. The first wave began in the 1840's and lasted until right before the Civil War. During that period, millions of N orthern Europeans, Irish and Germans made the long voyage to the New World. A large influx of Eastern and Southern Europeans followed, from around 1900 until World W ar I. For the next 40 years, the nation kept its immigration levels low. In 1965, a new law opened America's doors to people world­ wide. Since then, a steadily growing number of immigrants from Asia, Africa and Latin America have come to our nation's shores to find better lives. But now, it's time to again reduce the num ­ ber of immigrants to reasonable levels. The rationale for this change is grounded in Donyel M cC ollister TEXAN C O L U M N IS T economics, not racism. In 1994, a four-year college grad made only slightly more than a high school grad did in 1973. Last year, The Wall Street Journal reported that 40 percent of math jobs in 1996 went to immigrants, mostly Russian and Chinese. The unemployment rate among math Ph.Ds is now five times higher than it was just a few years ago. These problems can be partly attributed to the abundance of labor created by our open immigra­ tion policy. Too many workers and too few jobs result in falling wages and weakening bargaining power for workers. Proponents of massive immigration argue im m igrants take jobs Am ericans don't want. This is misleading. Americans would take these menial jobs if they paid more. If the immi­ grants didn't take the jobs, employers would have two options — either raise wages to an acceptable level or find innovative ways to complete the jobs without human labor. The first option raises wages, and the second increases productivity; both benefit society. But, in the short term, it's cheaper for employers to exploit im migrant labor. W ages stagnate and fall. Productivity stalls. This effect would occur regardless of im m i­ grants' ethnicity — people from poor, third-world countries will work for remarkably little. But it's arguable that if these industrious im migrants stayed put, they could make their own countries prosperous. The countries these immigrants come from — Mexico, Vietnam, Zaire — are not barren of resources or wealth. They simply lack the polit­ ical organization to demand a more equitable dis­ tribution of jobs and capital that leads to a higher standard of living. H istorically, im m igrants have becom e the scapegoats for many cultures' problems. Yet we should not let that obscure the very real and dev­ astating effect massive immigration has on jobs and wages. The answer is not to hate immigrants, but to limit their num ber to reasonable levels. Keeping the number of immigrants who come into our country equal to the number of people who leave our country each year — about 200,000 — would provide a better situation for all.

VIEWPOINT Dollars & sense , We commend the UT Office of Accounting for its recent bank switch — from NationsBank to Frost — which could save the Uni­ versity $60,000 annually. In an era characterized by short-sighted leg­ islative stinginess, every extra dollar helps. The University’s 5-year relationship with NationsBank ends in March, when the new contract takes effect. This switch is the result of a recent sealed-bid search for cheaper services initiated by the Accounting Office. Frost bid for a master con­ trol account which receives all deposits, a payroll account which holds all payroll monies and a control disbursement account which handles all checks besides payroll. What they offered was lower fees, for example, a $5 stop-payment fee compared to NationsBank's $10 stop-payment fee, and a 7-cent check deposit fee as compared to NationsBank's 9-cent fee. When you take into account that the University processes more than 500,000 checks a year, and receives on average $800,000 a day in tuition or services payments, those dollar differences make sense. NationsBank did an excellent job in service, but their prices were too high relative to Frost's," said associate director of accounting Bob Carter. Carter also emphasized the new bank contract is totally separate from and does not affect the ATM contract negotiated last year. Although the new contract is a done deal, there are still some details such as liability clauses which must be worked out to satisfy state requirements. We have no doubt the remaining work will be com­ pleted smoothly. " I’m supposed to save money and make money for the University," Carter said.. With this contract, he and the accounting office have achieved just that, and we congratulate them. Congratulations This weekend, due to hundreds of hours of effort by hundreds of Longhorns, the University pulled off a spectacular weekend of cam­ pus events. Texas Revue saw a record number of students try out for the Uni­ versity-wide competition, and a much-greater-than-expected number of fans showed up to watch the talented student acts. After two days of dreary rain, even the weather cooperated, and Texas Relays fin­ ished under a glorious spring sky. Thousands of students and Austinites enjoyed the hard work of the Forty Acres Fest Committee and jammed to a wide variety of music or checked out student organizations they w eren't familiar with. In this small city which is our campus, this weekend provided something for everyone to enjoy and be proud of. Chairman People who think there's no bad publicity don't understand the influence of a national newspaper like the New York Times. Professor James K. Galbraith of the LBJ School of Public Affairs has been granted annu­ al license, in the Times' op-ed pages, to propa­ gate his personal conspiracy theory involving the Federal Reserve Board and its chairman, Alan Greenspan. His groundless conjectures embarrass both the economics department and the University as a whole. Galbraith accuses the Fed of deliberately manipulating interest rates to the benefit of Wall Street, by deceiving small investors into holding money as opposed to bonds and stocks. He offers no concrete evidence. Instead, his readers are treated to a vocabulary lesson in Wall Street jargon. Clayton Vernon TEXAN C O L U M N IS T Galbraith's proof is his being told about the phrase "shearing the sheep" by bond traders. Such "smack-talk" by Ivy League MBA's is cir­ cumstantial evidence at best — no more credi­ ble than the suggestion that Galbraith's works are published only as a dun to his very famous father. to Virulent opposition the Volcker- Greenspan Fed emanates from elitist academics infatuated with the phantasm of monetary stimulation. These Keynesians still believe, deep down, that printing money creates jobs. But as Professor Bruce Smith has shown, coun­ involved in conspiracy Fed rate hikes which Galbraith finds part of a grand conspiracy. While the Fed is ostensibly independent of the Treasury, we would be naive to ignore the implications of aggressive anti-inflation policy with regard to the federal debt. Foreign investors have been eager buyers of Treasury bonds, as we have credibly demonstrated the returns from these will not be eroded with politically motivated inflation. Chairman Greenspan's comments on this issue are transparent — he relies heavily upon the yield curve, foreign exchange rates and the price of gold as data inputs the discount rate determination. Galbraith frames the debate as "rich versus poor." Yet we can meet or exceed Galbraith's empathy for the less fortunate and still disagree with his diagnosis. Greenspan has testified before Congress in support of a very progressive role for the feder­ al government in terms of investments in human capital. Hence, Alan Greenspan is no robber baron. Rather, he is a credible spokesman. Greenspan commands respect by virtue of his own command of the data, and has, in recent years, woven these insights into a vast and coherent vision for the United States. I m thankful Greenspan is running the Fed, and I wish James Galbraith would take his pres­ tigious title, "professor at the University of Texas at Austin," more seriously. Galbraith should publish any future unsubstantiated alle­ gations as a private citizen. Vernon is a graduate student in economics. tries with the lowest rates of inflation have the highest growth rates. Latin America has yet to recover from the hyperinflation induced by Harvard's Keyne­ sian economists. Economic growth and techno­ logical innovations favoring capital put pres­ sure on bond yields to keep pace with equity returns. Full employment adds a risk to interest rates-fmancing for new projects must take into account the possibility of skilled labor short­ ages. Actually, the Federal Reserve controls only a small part of the aggregate debt market. Most of the Fed's interventions occur not in discount rates adjustments, but in open market opera­ tions. Data on interest rates suggest the Fed is just as likely to respond to these as it is to initi­ ate them. Yield spreads narrowed prior to the FIRING LINE Institutional racism I disagree with Michael Scheschuk (4/7/97). The Hopwood decision and the entire affirmative action debate revolve around the perception that whites are being denied rights because of unfair preferential treatment of minorities. This is clearly a racial issue. I never hear anyone argue their rights are infringed upon by preferential consideration of the children of alum­ ni, athletes or military veterans. I never hear anyone argue that preferential treatment does a disservice to these groups. The fact that white women make up the largest category of affir­ mative action beneficiaries, while the discourse is always framed in terms of white versus non-white, belies the pri­ macy of racial thinking in the debate. Affirmative action became* neces­ sary because qualified ind iv id u als w*t<- systematically denied em ploy- rrw-nt or access to higher education because of race or gender. Explaining -5 7/ay or ignoring the significance of rare in the affirmative action debate lo**s nothing to refute the currents of institutional racism that make affirma­ tive action a continuing necessity. David Ramon Saldivar Plan II senior Get over it i pi*f have to reply to Michael VheárhuJc He quotes an issue of The Texan where statistics from the Hop- wood case show that "white students with the same base scores on the LSAT and the same GPAs as minority stu­ dents had only a 6 percent chance of law school admission, versus 100 per­ cent admission for minorities with identical scores." Then Scheschuk states, "I have a hard time believing preferential treatment was not given to unqualified students." What? The quote clearly states that the scores of some white and minority students were "identical." If they were identi­ cal, why does Scheschuk think the minority students were "unquali­ fied?" Has the meaning of identical changed or is it identical to what it has always been? Furthermore, no one denies affirmative action gives "pref­ erential to minorities. That's the point! Affirmative action targets qualified minorities. The Uni­ versity was attempting to squeeze in a few new faces where the students had traditionally been white male. treatment" Those who are so concerned about people thinking that all minorities achieve their goals only with the aid of affirmative action. Get over it! Anyone with a library card can learn that minorities have made outstanding contributions to the success of this country and the world. Many did so against tremendous odds. We all have prejudices, such as, "all Jews are rich," "all whites are racist," "all women are emotional," "all blacks J i are athletic" or "all the minorities at the University are here because of affirmative action." These notions are stupid. You don't fight stupidity by abolishing programs aimed at increas­ ing campus diversity! Kinaya T. Small History senior The Arabs gave nothing for peace. The Palestinian Covenant still calls for Israel's destruction. Arafat's Fatah fac­ tion praised the latest suicide bomb- ing. Violence does not equal peace. Asa/ Golan RTF senior Jerusalem is going on While I was looking for an apart­ ment, I realized that there is a housing shortage close to campus. Otherwise the prices would not be so inflated. The same thing in Jerusalem. Last summer, an elemen­ tary class wrote to the Israeli prime minister and told him of the economic hardships families were suffering in Jerusalem because of the high prices. Because of this, many of the families were leaving the dty. I will not pretend Israel built in Jerusalem just because of economic woes. Their was a political side as well. The prime minister was forced to build in Har Homa because he faced strong pressure to build not only from his coalition partners, but from the Labor party opposition. As for being an illegal settlement, even the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the indivisible capital of Israel and Har Homa as a part of Jerusalem. This is why the United States vetoed the UN resolution con­ demning the construction. Wrong way In reference to Marc Levin's editori­ al (4/ 7/ 97), the Drag will become nar­ rower only for cars. For people, it will be wider, safer and much more inter­ esting. In a city which daily sees avenues transformed into highways and pedestrians completely ignored, the Drag project will be a welcome change. It would hurt no one to have an area in which cars, for once, do not dominate. As Levin correctly points out, nar­ rower streets would cause cars to trav­ el slower. This could only be to the benefit of pedestrians and cyclists, which happen to comprise hot only the majority of Drag users, but of UT students as well. This will definitely not "inconvenience" them as Levin suggests. Any measure taken to decrease the number of accidents that occur too often between cars and bicy­ cles is worthwhile. In spite of what Levin claims, slower traffic (unbeliev­ able as it may seem) does not cause fatalities. Anyone who absolutely can­ not stand an extra five or 10 minutes in traffic should take an alternate route. In Tempe, Ariz., a major street has been transformed in a manner similar to the one proposed in Austin. Bench­ es, shade trees and wide sidewalks invite anyone to sit around comfort­ ably and enjoy the street for free. Such an area is populated by everyone, not just homeless people who obviously don't mind sitting on the ground. The businesses with sidewalk cafes are not "high-brow" as Levin suggests, but of the type that already exist on the Drag. The area is exciting and attracts all types of people. The University and Austin as a whole could only benefit from something similar. Why would anyone be opposed to the beautifica­ tion of a street they have to walk down everyday? If Levan is so concerned about the smooth flow of auto traffic, he should drive up and down the new Highway 183 ramps. Bahareh Poursepanj Architecture senior False comparison I want to point out the false com­ parison between East Jerusalem and Westlake in Elan Vorzman's argu­ ment about the Mideast crisis. Vorz- man attempts to deceitfully explain the situation in simple terms that would win favor of die uninformed majority. No one would protest Jews moving into Westlake, but when Israel builds a settlement Palestinians are forced out and the settlement comes under Israeli jurisdiction. Two large Palestinian families were expelled from their homes to begin the con­ struction of the Har Homa settlement. How does that compare to West­ lake? Vorzman accuses the Palestini­ ans of discrimination and that they "are quick to label any Jewish activity as a settlement Who's really discrim­ inating when no Palestinian, Moslem or Christian, can live in these settle­ ments? And what kind of peace are you thinking of when you conclude its worthlessness if Israel is unable to build in East Jerusalem? I thought the purpose of peace was to save lives not to enable Israel to build its settlements and surrounding Arab East Jerusalem.

UNIVERSITY Grad students support tuition waiver MARK COLLETTE_______ m a r k r n i i c t t c Dally Texan Staff About 15 UT graduate students met M onday at a Graduate Student Assem bly meeting to support legis­ lation to w aive tuition at state uni­ versities for graduate students who are fin ish ed w ith classes but still working on their post-graduate dis­ sertations. H ou se Bill 931 is currently in a subcom m ittee o f the State Senate Committee on Higher Education. Luke Keller, co-chairm an of the assem bly, said currently, graduate students m ust enroll in nine hours of classes while working at the Uni­ versity, forcing graduate students to pay for classes they do not need. K eller said on e problem facing supporters of the bill is how to com­ pensate for funds that w ould be lost . . by waiving tuition. The assembly is asking that the funding required to su p p o rt such a w aiv er be sought through the U niversity's ongoing "Capital Campaign," he said. Cnris Busiel, co-chairman of the assembly, com pared the w aiver to similar programs at state universi­ ties in Arizona, Kansas, and Michi­ gan. "W e're n o t a sk in g for sp e c ia l treatment," Keller said. "[Graduate stu d en ts] are contributing to the University in a very essential way." The meeting was the first event of Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week, called to show­ case graduate stu d en ts and their work at the University. The annual event is sponsored by the assembly and the N a tio n a l A sso c ia tio n of Graduate and Professional Students. This week's events are a w ay for graduate students to dem onstrate their im portance to the University com m u n ity, K eller sa id . Student posters, which w ill be displayed at this w eek's sym posium , w ill be on display in late April at the ground floor rotunda of the Capitol. Graduate and P rofessional Stu­ dents Week com es at a tim e w hen m any students are feeling a lot of stress, Keller said. "The aca d em ic m arket is very tight and p eo p le are pretty w o r ­ ried," he said. This week's events at the Univer­ sity include a lecture by Robert H. Rich o f the American A ssociation for the A dvancem ent o f Science, a te a c h in g a ssista n t a p p r e c ia tio n reception, and a student research sym posium designed to allow stu­ dents to describe the work they are doing for their degree plans. 'This should be like show and tell for graduate students," Keller said. O range signs w ill be d isp layed through the w eek o u tsid e c la ss­ room s to indicate where graduate students are teaching. "Graduate stu d en ts do a lot of work that is often invisible to the public," Keller said. "Grad students get a bad reputation." Keller said a common public com­ p la in t is that stu d en ts are b ein g taught by unqualified graduate stu­ dents. But this week, the assembly w ill try to show graduate students are q u a lified p r o fe ssio n a ls w ith degrees, he said. "I think there is a myth floating around that grad students just take advanced classes," Keller said.

Austinites for a Little Less Corruption is laying the blame on Mayor Bruce Todd and mayoral candidate Kirk Watson. Linda Curtis, coordinator for Austinites for a Little Less Cor­ ruption and cam paign m anager for m ayoral can d id ate Max Nofziger, said the organization is suing the city with help from the Am erican Civil L iberties U nion of Texas after City Clerk Elden Aldridge threw out nearly half the signatures on a petition to allow voters to decide on campaign finance reform. Curtis said a federal court judge has delayed the trial until June 26. Aldridge said Monday he was unable to comment on the case since the city is currently going through litigation. Jay Jacobsefi, executive director for the ACLU's Texas office, said the city "improperly struck nam es" from the petition which possibly could have remained. "The law is fairly well established that the policy should be a liberal one to allow things on the* ballot," Jacobsen said. While City Council voted last December to keep the item from the ballot after A ld rid g e's findings, C urtis said she believes Mayor Todd influenced the decision outside Council Chambers. "I can't prove a thing when it comes to who politically motivated the clerk, but knowing Bruce Todd ... I strongly believe he was behind the scenes directing the clerk in doing this hatchet job," Curtis said. "I don't think [Aldridge] would do this unless he was directed to." Todd said he supports campaign finance reform, although the city has not found the proper mechanism for instituting it. "She's crazy as a bedbug," Todd said of Curtis Monday. Curtis said it is inconceivable how Aldridge could throw out 50 percent of the collected signatures when, she asserts, 99 percent of Austin residents are registered to vote. She said 29,200 signatures were turned over to Aldridge, while only 15,900 were needed to get the item on the ballot. "W hen these signatures were checked there were 16,000 out of 300,000 [people] not registered to vote," Curtis said. "Fifty per­ cent of the homeless were registered to vote." Approval of the petition would have allowed voters to decide whether future candidates for elected city positions should be limited to maximum donations of $100 per contributor, Curtis said. The proposal would also have called for total political con­ tributions not to exceed $75,000 per campaign. Curtis alleges Todd's "support" of mayoral candidate Kirk Wat­ son also may have influenced Aldridge's decision because Watson has broken campaign spending records in Austin by raising nearly half a million dollars for his campaign in this year's election. Bill to set criteria for post-Hopwood scholarships The Texas Senate Finance C om ­ m itte e a p p ro v e d a b ill M o n d ay d esigned to set criteria for a new scholarship fund targeting students who would be affected by the Hop- wood ruling. The bill, sponsored by Sen. David Sibley, R-W aco, would THOMAS TERRY/Daily Texan Staff Linda Curtis of Austinites for a Little Less Corruption is angry that the City voided 15,000 names from the petition. "The Kirk W atson campaign is hell-bent on buying this elec­ tion, but they don't want to be implicated in any way in this dirty deal," she said. But Todd insisted that he has maintained a neutral position in the race. W atson said he had no com m unications with either Todd or Aldridge to influence the withdrawal of the petition from the bal­ lot, adding that Curtis' claim that both he and Todd influenced the w ithdraw al is u nfounded."That is absolutely not the case. Was she able to provide any proof?" W atson said. He added that he must raise more money in this case because he is running against two candidates who have a combined 15 years of council experience and public notoriety. JON PATTILLO/Daily Texan Staff Holding his traveling companion, Sadie, Darryl Bischoff of Norman, Okla., inspects the damage his tractor-trailer sustained on Friday. Bischoff was traveling in the left lane of northbound I-35 when his rig inex­ plicably struck the inside wall, swerved across three lanes of traffic, careened up the grass embankment, and finally struck the guardrail. It came to a stop along the frontage road at the Riverside Drive exit. Only one other car was involved in the accident, but police were forced to shut down all northbound traffic during rush hour. No one was injured. “It’s all in a day’s work. That’s what you have insurance for,” he said.This is the most serious accident of Bischoff’s driving career. APD officials esti­ mate a weekly average of 12-18 accidents involving tractor-trailers along I-35 within Austin city limits. CAPITOL BRIEFS create the Texas Horizons Scholar­ ship fund to assist stud ents from disadvantaged backgrounds. The scholarship's criteria include the socioeconomic background of an applican t, as m easured by the "percentage by which the student's fa m ily is b elo w any re co g n iz e d measure of poverty;" the wealth per stu d en t of the sch o o l d istric t an applicant comes from; the degree of re s p o n s ib ility an a p p lic a n t has show n in school, fam ily and com ­ m unity; as w ell as an a p p lican t's standardized test scores. Sibley said funds previously set a sid e for s c h o la rs h ip s b ased on racial preferences can no longer be used due to the Hopwood ruling. The bill "w ill help students who are affected by the Hopwood deci­ sion," Sibley said, adding "This is a way to help remedy that by coming up with alternate criteria." Tobacco tax code focus of new bill Sen. Kenneth Armbrister, D-Vic- toria, has proposed a bill to update and clarify the existing tax code for the sale of tobacco products. If passed, the bill would also pro­ hibit the sale of cigarettes in packs of less than 20, said Jim H ow ell, who testified Monday on behalf of the State Comptroller's Office. C u rre n tly , c ig a r e tte s m ay be legally sold in packs of 10 or more. Sen. Jud ith Z affirin i, D -Laredo, L i b e r a l A r t s W e e k 1 9 9 7 ... choose your own path.

Cody himself would have been proud. In an 18-month period beginning in 1865, the man known as "Buffalo Bill" reportedly killed more than 4,000 buffalo. While the ends and means were different, the Lady Longhorns were no less effective in handling the Col­ orado Buffaloes Monday in a game of good old-fashioned tennis. The Lady Homs sent the Buffaloes reeling back home in a convincing 8- 1 blowout at Penick-Allison tennis Center. Farley Taylor and Sandy Sureep- TEXAS W OMEN'S TENNIS hong led the slaughter with straight- set singles victories over Anna Bek and Nadine Kenzelman, 6-0, 6-0 and 6-1, 6-2 respectively. Taylor's whitewashing of Kenzel­ man represented her fifth win in six matches, as she begins to round into form following her early-season injuries. "Everything seems to be falling together for me right now," Taylor said after the match. "I know what I have to do to play well, and that's really begun to kick in in the last week or so." Taylor's resurgence comes at a crucial point in the season, as the postseason looms ever closer. The Homs were handed two dis­ heartening losses last week against Florida and Arizona. Now the team appears to be on the rebound after an impressive 7-2 victory over No. 8 Arizona State Sunday. Assistant coach Carla Cossa said jumping out on top early was the key Monday. 'Today it was very important to come out with a lot of energy, and to keep up the momentum that they built in Arizona by beating Arizona State so soundly," she said after the match. Cossa took over the coaching reigns for the absent Jeff Moore, who is serving the last of a four-game suspension. Moore was suspended because he allowed Cristina Moros to play too many matches last year. Moros, who was sidelined, must sit out two more matches. The Lady Homs (14-5, 7-0 Big 12) remain undefeated in conference play. The last time Texas lost a con­ ference match was 1992, when all of the current players were in high school. Freshman Michelle Faucher was barely out of junior high then, yet she contributed to the winning tradi­ tion Monday against Colorado, defeating Emily Smith in singles 7-6, 3-6, 6-3, and teaming with Taylor to defeat Anne and Agnes Bek in dou­ bles 8-3. "I think I should've done a little bit better," she said, apologetic about giving away the only singles set of 9ie day. "I think a lot of it had to do with my game plan. When I stick to my game plan, I usually win." Faucher improves to 13-5 in sin­ gles action, 5-1 in the No. 3 spot. She has given Moore and Cossa reason enough to keep her above the 1996 All-American Taylor in the lineup. Sophomore Nomena Rasolomo- lala also continues to give Moore confidence in his team's depth. Rasolomolala defeated Mary Mahon 6-4, 6-1 to extend her 1997 winning streak to five games.

ASSOCIATED PRESS F an-demonium Milwaukee fans shower the field with giveaway baseballs, play stopped 3 times in Ranger defeat incident, although there were several fights in the stands. Associated Press MILWAUKEE — Spring madness came early to County Stadium on Monday. Mike Matheny hit a grand slam and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Texas Rangers 5-3 in their home opener in front of 42,893 fans, many of whom littered the field with giveaway baseballs, causing three delays and threatening the first forfeit in the club's 28- year history. The Brewers, who begin a three-day "Spring Madness" promotion on Wednesday in which bleacher seats cost $1, were nearly done in by some of their fans on Monday. Although nobody was hurt, the specter of injury spoiled the day for many observers who braved 35-degree tem peratures and 25 m ph winds, and Texas m anager Johnny Oates played the game under protest. He pulled his players off the field twice in the second inning, with the delays lasting 14 and 16 minutes. "I w asn't just concerned about the play­ ers," Oates said. "I was concerned about the kids in the lower deck. I didn't want any­ body to get hurt." Finally, Brewers manager Phil Gam er and umpire crew chief Jim McKean took a micro­ phone and admonished the fans to behave, and the rest of the game was played without M oments before their plea near home plate, McKean had met with Gamer, Brewers owner Bud Selig and general manager Sal Bando in G am er's office. According to Gamer, McKean told them: "This is close to being forfeited. If I have to take them off the field again, this game is going to be forfeited." The Milwaukee County Sheriff's office reported issuing 112 citations, including 14 for throwing baseballs on the field, a trans­ gression that carries a $105 fine. "The worst thing we saw is that people were throwing them out of the upper deck and not getting them onto the field," said Milwaukee right-hander Cal Eldred, who was nearly plunked twice. "There's a lot of open space on the field, but people were getting hit in the back of the head," Eldred said. "That's just not right. People expect to come out to the ballgame and not have balls thrown at them." The start of the game also was delayed for several minutes when dozens of fans pelted the field with the baseballs they were given as they entered County Stadium, site of sev­ eral ugly fan-player incidents in recent years.

The result was ugly. Karl Malone scored 26 points as the Jazz beat the Spurs 116-93 Mon­ day night in a game that featured 55 fouls, 73 free-throw attempts, four technical fouls and an ejection. "I don't think they [Spurs] w ant­ ed to play, to be honest," said Utah's Bryon Russell. "Vernon [Maxwell] went out there and pulled some of his usual tactics. He frustrated himself more than any­ one else." Maxwell was responsible for two of the technicals, a flagrant foul and the ejection. He left the game with 4:55 left in the fourth period after sim ultaneously getting his sixth foul and second technical. John Stockton and Jeff Homacek each scored 19 points as the Jazz moved six games in front of Seattle for the top record in the Western Conference. Cory Alexander led the Spurs with 24 points. Jamie Feick and Monty Williams each added 15 for San Antonio, which has lost four of its last five. Utah coach Jerry Sloan wasn't bothered by the roughness of the game. "They've got a lot of people out and they've had a lot of injuries," said Sloan, whose team can clinch the best record in the Western Con­ ference with a win over the Lakers Wednesday. "I'm sure there is some frustration, but they are still com­ peting, and that's all you can do." Utah's 13-game winning streak is the second longest in franchise his­ tory. The Jazz won 15 in a row ear­ lier this season. The game was a makeup contest rescheduled from Nov. 11, when the floor at the Delta Center was deemed unplayable due to w arp­ ing in several spots.

Each team picked up an impor­ tant point. Dallas improved to 102 in its battle with idle Colorado (105) for home ice in the Western Conference playoffs. Phoenix is tied for fourth with idle Anaheim with 81 points. Jere and Lehtinen Joe Nieuwendyk scored for the Stars, while Jeremy Roenick and Dallas Drake scored for Phoenix in a game that saw the teams tied 1-1 after the first period and 2-2 after the second. The Stars finished the final 1:29 with their fourth power play, but were unable to convert despite three shots in the final seconds. Nikolai Khabibulin had 28 saves. The Stars had won seven straight until a 3-2 loss at Anaheim on Friday. Moog had won six in a row before his bulging disk and bad ankle sidelined him from March 10 to March 30, and he backstopped a 3-3 fie against Los Angeles on Saturday. Marion re-signs with Dallas after Baltimore rescinds 4-year deal Associated Press IRVING — A few weeks ago, free agent safety Brock Marion thought he was a Baltimore Raven. On Monday, he rejoined the Dallas Cowboys and insisted he couldn't be happier. Marion attended a March 20 news conference at the Ravens' training complex to announce he'd agreed to a reported four-year, $6.5 million deal. Instead, team owner Art Mod- ell said he wanted more doctors to examine M arion's left shoulder blade, which he broke in November. After more tests, the Ravens told agent Jordan Woy they weren't inter­ w, * ested. Woy con­ tinued talking to them until late last week, then called the Cow­ boys and quick­ ly worked out a one-year deal with incentives. A "I signed with the Cowboys because I chose to," said Marion, a starter the last two years and a contributor on Dal­ las' last three Super Bowl champion teams. "It doesn't have to do with any­ teams falling thing with other through. I chose to sign here for the fact that every year we compete for the championship " Woy, however, said he's consider­ ing taking action against Baltimore, either with a lawsuit or by filing a grievance with the league. H e's upset because he felt the memo of agreem ent" Marion signed with the Ravens took him off the market, and that the March 20 news conference portrayed Marion as damaged goods. "When Baltimore made this announcement that Brock Marion has to have shoulder suigery, I had about 10 teams call me and say 'What's going on?' Obviously, it put a lot of thoughts in people's minds," Woy said. Dallas never even gave Marion a physical. The team had been moni­ toring his rehabilitation all along and was confident he could pick up where he left off last season. The signing came at a good time for the Cowboys. With the draft less they no than two weeks away, longer have to worry about finding a safety. Marion will resume his spot in one of the NFL's best secondaries alongside safety Darren Woodson and comerbacks Deion Sanders and Kevin Smith. "The continuity of players in our scheme is so important," coach Barry Switzer said. "Having a truly experi­ enced secondary with Brock coming back is something we didn't count on." By signing for only one year, Mar­ ion can prove his health and try upping his value then go back out on the market next offseason. "H e may have been able to get more money this year, but this made the most sense for Brock in many ways," Woy said "At this point, he's happy he's going to play here for another year. We'll see where things go when the year's over with." break SCORES MLB ANKHCAN LEAGUE Detroit 10, Minnesota 4 Kansas City 6, Baltimore 5 Milwaukee 5, Texas 3 Oakland 6, Boston 2 Cleveland 8, Seattle 3 N.Y.

Through 76 gam es last year, baseball drew 2,050,576, an aver­ age of 26,981. Average attendance dropped 20 percent following the strike, from 31,612 per game in 1994 to 25,260 in 1995. Owners hoped to regain half of it last year, but it rebound­ ed only 6.4 percent to 26,889. Owners predict a 9 percent rise this year, to about 29,300. Scheduling might have played a part in the increase. Baseball used all of its domed stadiums and West Coast ball­ parks during the first week of the season in an attem pt to and postponem ents avoid games played in bad weather. Astros put Berry on disabled list JACKSON, Miss. — The Houston Astros placed third baseman Sean Berry on the 15- day disabled list Monday. Berry injured his right groin muscle during an exhibition game on March 29. He started the regular season, but was hit­ ting just .100 (l-for-10) and had not hit a home run or driven in a run in five games. As a pinch-hitter Sunday against St. Louis, Berry flied out. Team officials said Berry was still bothered by the groin muscle. Last season, Berry hit 17 home runs and drove in 95 runs despite playing the entire year with a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. He had shoulder surgery during the offseason. Walker’s 6 HRs earns NL honor NEW YORK— Larry Walker, who hit .440 with six home runs and 11 RBls for the Colorado Rock­ ies, was named National League player of the week Monday. Walker hit a career-high three homers Saturday at Montreal. He was 4-for-5 with five RBIs in that game. — Compiled from Associated Press reports CALENDAR TUESDAY MEN'S TENNIS The Horns host TCU at the Penick-Allison Ten­ nis Center at 1 p.m. THURSDAY SOFTBALL The Lady Horns host a doubleheader with UT- Arlington at the East Austin Youth Complex at 5 p.m. SATURDAY ■ WOMENS TEAMS The Lady Horns host Vanderbilt at the Peni ck-Allison Tennis Center at 1 p.m. SUNDAY SOFTBALL The Lady Horns host Texas A&M at the East Austin Youth Complex at noon. ■ WOMEN'S TENNIS The Lady Horns host Oklahoma at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center at Page 8 Tuesday, April 8,1 9 9 7 T he D aily T exan Alomar booed in ‘97 debut Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Booed when he was introduced and booed even louder when he came to bat, Roberto Alomar returned to base­ ball Monday. Alomar had two hits and said he was just happy to be back on die field. "I just want to go out there and play the game of baseball,” Alomar said after Baltimore lost 6- 5 to Kansas City in the Royals' home opener. "The fans are entitled to their own opinion and that's all I can say about it. You just have to try and enjoy die game and do what you are capable of doing. For me, all I have to do is go out and pay the game of baseball." The Baltimore Orioles second baseman was playing for the first time since completing a five-game suspension for spitting in the face of umpire John Hirschbeck last season. Tne autograph hounds sought out Alomar before the game, but he received a less hos­ pitable reception when his name was announced over the public address system at the Kansas City Royals' home opener. He was booed in all four plate experiences. Fans cheered politely when he made a nice play on a bad-hop grounder in die second inning, but they also cheered when he struck out in die third. "The main thing for me was it was good to be out diere," Alomar said. "It was a good day for me. Not for the team, but hopefully we can come here Wednesday and win a game." The booing picked up for his first at-bat. Alo­ mar, the game's second batter, sacrificed after Brady Anderson's leadoff double. Anderson scored on a sacrifice fly by Rafael Palmeiro. Alomar started at second base, playing on a sprained ankle that he said was almost fully healed. He spent nearly 10 minutes before batting practice signing about two dozen autographs for about a 100 fans around the third-base dugout. They seemed to have put aside the Sep­ tember spitting episode that polarized players and umpires and further discouraged fans already upset about baseball's labor problems. "He was wrong, but there is not a person around who hasn't made a mistake," said Jere­ my Earl, 16, who landed an Alomar autograph. "Forgive and forget," said Chris Bell, 22, who had a game program signed by Alomar. When Alomar had to leave, those who did not get autographs were understanding. "I appreciate your taking the time, Mr. Alo­ mar," said one. "Thank you very much, Mr. Alo­ mar," said another. Alomar rejoined the Orioles after an extended stay in Florida to treat his ankle. He had hurt himself stumbling on stairs in his apartment building in Baltimore, then aggravated the injury before spring training in a charity basket­ ball game. Roberto Alomar signs an autograph for a fan in his first game back from a 5-game suspension. ASSOCIATED PRESS Rape charge lessened in Mesa trial Associated Press CLEVELAND — The jury in Jose Mesa's rape trial can consider a lesser charge when it begins deliberating Tuesday, a day after the Cleveland pitcher's lawyer suddenly rested his case without calling any witnesses. Cuyahoga County Judge Thomas Curran ruled Monday that the jury of six men and six women may consider whether Mesa was guilty of the reduced charge of gross sexual impo­ sition, instead of a charge of rape. In addition, the judge threw out a felony assault charge against the Indians' star reliever, saying the state did not prove Mesa intended to hurt one of the women. Defense lawyer Gerald Messer- man rested his case without calling anyone to the stand. Then, in closing arguments, he mocked the police investigation and challenged the truthfulness of Mesa's accusers. "What we have here is a story that is chameleon-like," Messerman said. "If we have to be yellow, we'll be yellow. If we have to be red, we'll be red. It's tough when you have to become a scotch plaid." He also tried to use the prosecu­ tors' own videotape against them. Using a larger TV screen than the prosecution, Messerman played a videotape that showed Mesa's rape accuser leaving the nightclub while adjusting something on her left shoulder. "She testified that she remem­ bered adjusting her bra strap," Messerman said, replaying the video several times in slow motion. "Was that a purse on her shoulder? That is for you to decide." The woman, 26, testified last week that Mesa took her purse and lured her into his truck, where he raped her. The video showed the woman adjusting something, but it wasn't clear if it was a purse. Another clip showed the woman with her purse in plain view in a dif­ ferent part of the bar. "If she is [adjusting her purse] while leaving the bar, the whole purse story falls apart," Messerman said. The woman testified that Mesa raped her by forcing his hand into her jeans and underpants during a ride to a suburban motel early Dec. 22. Her friend, also 26, testified that Mesa struck her in the mouth with a door, then fondled both women in the room. The charge of rape is a felony with a three- to 10-year prison term. Gross sex­ ual imposition also is a felony, but it car­ ries a penalty of six to 18 months. Mesa, 30, still faces two other gross sexual imposition charges that the judge said must go to the jury, along with a theft charge. Curran said he would instruct the jury and order them to deliberate Tuesday morning. Assistant Prosecutor Frank Gasper had about two hours to prepare a dos­ ing argument after Messerman's sur­ prise announcement. Gasper por­ trayed Mesa as a sexual aggressor who used the purse as a lure. "He is using that as the carrot," Gasper said. "The carrot gets her into the car." Gasper acknowledged that the accusers made some poor choices that night, but urged the jury to believe their testimony. Assistant Prosecutor Mike Nolan reiterated the argument in the state's rebuttal statement. "Some people are stupid," Nolan said. "Some people are naive." Nolan also rejected Messerman's argument that it would have been physically impossible for Mesa to get into the woman's pants while driving. "Anybody can unzip a pair of pants," Nolan said. But prosecutors admitted that the Lakewood police officer who pulled the women over that night and first heard their allegations did not inves­ tigate thoroughly. "He dropped the ball," Nolan said. "Sorry. We can't make up for that now."

On Friday, the Longhorns return to Big 12 play against Iowa State in Ames. Texas returns to Disch-Falk Field on April 15 for a 7 p.m. rematch against Southwest Texas State. The Bobcats beat UT on March 25 by a 6-5 count. BRIAN DAVIS Daily Texan Staff The best cure for the slumping Texas baseball team may just be a three-hour bus ride away. The Longhorns, who are coming off one of the toughest losses of the season, will travel to The Ballpark in Arlington for a Tuesday matchup against Texas Christian. This will be the second time the two have played in the home of the Texas Rangers. Last season, the two teams split a doubleheader in early May. For Texas, the quick trip may be the best thing to nelp the team get over Sunday's 15-14 loss to Okla­ homa State in Stillwater. Texas had an 11-run lead going into the fifth inning, but OSU put up 10 runs in the next two frames en route to the thrilling come-from-behind win. The Longhorns, desperately look­ ing for a break of any kind, are now 21-16 overall with a 5-10 record in the Big 12 Conference. As of Mon­ day, starters for the 7 p.m. game had yet to be determined. Earlier this season, TCU fell vic­ tim to Texas just when the Long­ horns began rolling on a 10-game winning streak. UT carried the momentum into the next weekend Golfers tee up for Masters Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. — Even on a Monday, even as many in the field for the 61st Masters were still find­ ing their lockers and unpacking their clubs, the aura of Augusta National Golf Club was weaving its magic spell. "The hardest part is trying to get down for this event, not up," Frank Nobilo said as he stood beneath the giant oak tree outside the Augusta clubhouse. "You are up as soon as you go through the gate." Through the gate they came on Monday. Defending champion Nick Faldo and expected future champi­ on Tiger Woods arrived. Greg Nor­ man, last year's tragic runner-up, was easing in on Tuesday. champion making Jose Maria Olazabal, the 1994 Masters a remarkable comeback after missing 18 months of competition because of foot problems, walked the hilly course on Monday and reported no pain in his feet. And Arnold Palmer, playing in his 43rd Masters, piloted his private plane into Augusta airport Monday afternoon, prepared to play just three months after surgery for prostate cancer. The Masters is a marvelous mix of the past and the present, a place where Woods, the 21-year-old future of golf, and Gene Sarazen, the 95- year-old knickered squire who has played with everyone from Harry Vardon on, can cross paths. Awesome Augusta, already firm and seemingly ready to play at its most devilishly fast pace, gets into the heads of players in a way few other courses do. Scott McCarron stood on the prac­ tice green for 20 minutes hitting the same chip from 18 inches off the green over and over again, trying to get just the right feel for the speed.

The team will keep signing and cutting play­ ers. And the Washington Redskins will be selling out every game. And a Cooke — John Kent Cooke, son of the late owner — will, still be in charge. Players, coaches and management on Monday mourned the death of Jack Kent Cooke, the cantankerous 84-year-old owner - who made the Redskins the sports centerpiece of the nation's capital. But the Redskins insist the fran­ chise will carry on without major disruption. "I don't think anyone is going to notice a difference in how the orga­ nization is run," general manager Charley Casserly said. "We're cer­ tainly well prepared, and once we get through this period of grief here, we're going to be rolling, and we're going to keep going." Cooke, 84, died Sunday following a heart attack at his Washington home, where he spent most of his final months because of failing health. A pri­ vate memorial service was planned for Thursday at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, Va., near Cooke's ranch home in the hunting country of north­ ern Virginia. The family remained silent Mon­ day, leaving Casserly and others to allay concerns that anyone other than Cooke's only living son, 55- year-old John Kent Cooke, would take over the team. Documents from 1995, the most recent available, showed the younger Cooke owned 10 percent of the team, while his father owned 90 percent. Provided C o o k e's w ill w as structured to avoid hefty inheri­ tance taxes — Joe R obbie's family had to sell the M iam i D olphins to pay a $55 m illion bill after he died in 1990 — the chain of command should pass smoothly, given that John Kent C ooke is the team 's executive vice president and has the team at been representing ow ners' meetings for more than a decade. "H e 's been involved in every major decision that's been made here," Casserly said. But there will be one immeasur­ able change. Like him or not, Jack Kent Cooke led the team with ebul­ lient flair, speaking his mind and twisting arms when he had to — or even if he just felt like it. His son is quiet and keeps a low profile. While his father expected the public relations staff to be at his beck and call at Redskin Park, John Kent Cooke opens his own car door and walks the h alls w ithout an escort. "John's personality is not one to seek the limelight or seek credit for things," Casserly said. "John deserves a lot of credit for the success we've had here. He's never chosen to take it." There is more doubt concerning the future of another family member, Cooke's wife, Marlena. The Justice Department is awaiting a ruling on a request for her deportation because of prison time served for importing cocaine in the 1980s. There was no comment Monday on her situation. Although Cooke had intended to sell the name of his new stadium to a corporate sponsor, a groundswell is growing to nam e it after the man who brought the Redskins three Super Bowl titles. "I would love to see that," coach Norv Turner said. "Obviously there are a lot of things going into it, and I'm not the guy making that deci­ sion. I think most fans would like to see that, people who are involved with Mr. Cooke, ex-players, so hope­ fully that's what'll happen." The stadium presented Cooke with one of his biggest challenges. Though he was putting up his own money, Cooke had to lobby for nearly a decade to find a place for the $160 million, 78,600-seat facility before getting a plot of land near Landover, Md. Mavs score record low Associated Press DALLAS — Who says the Dallas Mavericks have had a forgettable season? They're all over the record book, and for all the wrong reasons. A year that began with playoff hopes reached another record-low Sunday when Dallas scored just two points (both on free throws) in the third quarter of an 87-80 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. "1 don't think in all my years in the game I've seen an exhibition of basketball like that," said Jim Clea- mons, the first-year coach w ho won five NBA titles as a player and an assistant with the Chicago Bulls. No NBA team has ever come so close to being shut out for an entire period. The previous worst-scoring quarter was four points, by the 1987 Sacramen­ to Kings and the 1972 Buffalo Braves. That Kings team is the only other not to have scored a basket in a quarter. The Mavericks actually led 51-37 at halftime when they forgot how to score. They were stuck on 51 points until Derek Harper made two foul shots with 1:51 left in the third quarter. "It's absolutely pathetic," said cen­ ter Shawn Bradley, who missed both his third-quarter shots. "An NBA team should never be in that situation." Added Lakers guard Eddie Jones: "I came to the bench with about two minutes left [in the third quarter] 'They haven't and the guys said, scored yet.' I was like, 'Oh, my God.' I was more amazed than anything." Tulips $9.95 a Bunch Cash & Carry C a sa V erde F lo ris t 4 5 1 - 0 6 9 1 D a ily S p ec ials FTD • 45* & Guadalupe • On UT Shuttle Rt.

T have this talent of cutting corners w ithout the quality of the work seeming to diminish," h i says. RANDY KRAMEN__________ Daily Texan Staff Daniel Fu rtev’er wanted to be a celebrity. Fame certainly wasn't die goal he had in mind when he started doo­ dling muscle-bound superheroes in the seventh grade. Nor did he envi­ sion a fan following when he started submitting his com ic strips to The Daily Texan last spring. But now that h is nam e g ra ces the sta n d s o f Austin bookstores, Fu may have to get used to a little notoriety. Fu, an architecture senior at the Uni­ versity, is die author of Utter Confusion, a comic strip featured in the Texan that has recently made the transition to full-length comic book. For the past year, Fu has been hiding behind his pen name — 'Talking Pill" — die Eng­ lish equivalent of his Chinese birth name. He says the pseudonym was necessary to avoid calling attention to himself. "I wasn't out doing this strip because I wanted to make a name for myself or anything — that wasn't die intention," he says. "I guess I picked die pen name to reinforce that." Fu is one of the 100 or so artists in the Austin area w ho publish inde­ pendent comics. Self-publishing has become a popular tool for artists to subvert the mainstream comic indus­ try, at the same time they share their personal visions with avid readers. With more than 1,000 self-published artists working in the United States, the underground scene is gaining support and becoming a viable alter­ native to Batman and Superm an, according to one self-publisher. Fu doesn't seem to fit the stereo­ type of rebellious artist, however. Dressed conservatively in a beige, button-down shirt, blue jeans and a pair of brown suede shoes, the soft- spoken Fu doesn't stand out from the West Campus crowd. He fidgets n erv o u sly as he sp eak s w ith his eyes downcast. Those eyes reflect an introversion that Fu says could be a product of his nomadic childhood. Although Fu was bom in Taiwan, he spent most of his childhood mov­ ing from city to city in America. After his parents earned their graduate d egrees in p h ysics from the m ost prestigious university in Taiwan, the two looked to foreign markets for work. When Fu was 2 years old, his father found a job in Amherst, Mass., and relocated die family to the Unit­ ed States. Over the next seven years, Fu's father jumped from job to job, moving the family wherever he could find w ork. The long list of cities never seemed to stop, Fu says, as he lived in Buffalo, Cleveland, Houston and Colorado Springs, before finally settling in Austin. and I like to write at the same time. The comic book is a perfect medium for that...” — D M F tt. MTftl WÉSt Fu says, sarcastically, the constant state of flux did wonders for his per­ sonality’. He never became too attached to classmates, nor did he allow himself close friends, he says. He has since cul­ tivated a tightly-knit group of friends at the University and hopes that stabili­ ty will follow. Fu says, however, that comic book artistry’ is a strange profes­ sion for someone seeking stability’. Fu says his parents have been supportive of his comic book pursuits to an extent but nag him every once in a while. As long as he doesn't starve, his parents will be happy, he says. Fu's love for w riting comic books has evolved from his early interest in w ritin g and d raw ing. Fu's p e n ­ chant for w riting developed in m id ­ dle school, w here he read m ystery a n d sc ie n c e fic tio n n o v e ls v o r a ­ ciously, rifling through four books a week. Fu says science fiction author O rson Scott C ard in sp ire d him to focus on character complexity. Ironically, Fu's draw ing skills did­ n 't develop as quickly. A t first, he tried freehanding figures and discov­ ered that his draw ings w ere "terri­ ble,'' crude variations on stick figures with bum ps for muscles. So he traced Iron M an and S p id erm an to teach himself form and proportion, practic­ ing often to im prove his technique. Soon, he compiled a sketch pad full of his w ork and began to pigeonhole characters into scenes. Fu says he fig­ ured out early that comic books suit­ ed both his talents and tastes. "I like to draw and I like to w rite at th e s a m e tim e ," he says. "T h e comic book is a perfect m edium for th a t b e c a u s e y o u 'v e g o t a rt a n d you've got w riting, and w hen they mesh together w hat you get is kinet­ ic, m oving art form." W hat sta rte d as a h o b b y in h is freshman year of high school became a serious endeavor last year. Fu esti­ m ates he w orks on each strip for at least two hours, sketching the back­ ground, inking the figures and past­ ing down the dialogue bubbles. That translates into small wages for Fu, as the Texan pays meagerly. Fu says the money isn't important. He loves w rit­ ing so m uch th a t he sacrifices th e accuracy of his architectural work to The comic strip doesn't always take priority over architecture. Fu says he frequently cuts his production down to three strips a week to keep up with his heavy academic workload. To fin­ ish the last 34 hours of his 167-hour major, Fu m ust strike a balance between the two. If Fu's architecture studio is any indication, he may be struggling to maintain that balance. The studio that is supposed to sup­ ply Fu w ith the resources to draft blueprints doubles as a comic book factor\’. Viewing the studio, it's not hard to guess where Fu got the title for his comic strip. Heaps of paper lit­ ter the worktable's scuffed surface. A compact disc case full of pens and pencils sits beside a box that contains Fu s architecture portfolio, stashed in a stack of other artwork. Am id the clutter of the studio table is a 12-by-3- inch strip of Bristol Board with blue etchings that will becom e a three- panel installment of Utter Confusion. Fu says the inspiration for Utter Con­ fusion comes directly from the school of Japanese anime known as "manga," the Japanese word for "comic book." He describes the typical manga comic as a "mix between your average [tele­ vision] sitcom and Party of Five." Fu's m ain in flu en ce, M aison Ikkoku's Rumiko Takahashi, is a 96- episode animated show about a guy w ho falls in love with his landlady. Usually, the stories are based on mis­ understandings between characters, throwing quirky personalities into a Seinfeldian form of comic conflict, he says. Fu says many characters and story types in Utter Confusion come directly from Ikkoku's work. Fu says the typical, "slice of life" manga emphasizes facial expressions, which he thinks are much more effec­ tive in conveying emotion than the blunt action of mainstream comics. Fu says manga's exploration of human emotions is refreshing in animation. Fu says conventional comic strip characters are ju st v e h ic le s that deliver the punchline, but his char­ acters have distinct personalities that give the story depth. The char­ acters develop from a variety of dif­ ferent places, he says. "Most people write about what they know," he says. "I take some from my friends and some from my subconscious." Although Hutch, Utter Confusion's main character, shares som e of his [Fu's] feelings and tragically bad luck, Fu says he didn't intend Hutch to act as his alter ego. Fu admits, however, that in one respect he and Hutch are identical. When it comes to unrequited Daniel Fu, architecture senior, says com ics should represent a “slice of life. love, the two are seasoned veterans.

B U T NOBODY BEATS REX LOW P R IC E S b a d luck th a t fo llo w s h im ." O ne illustration of this fact is deadlines, h e say s. C h o u sa y s as d e a d lin e s d ra w near, it's n o t uncom m on for c o m p u te r d is k s to m y s te rio u s ly erase, com puters to crash and m ar­ keting schemes to go awry. "W ith all the problem s he's had, it's amazing, m ind-boggling th at the book came out as well as it did," Chou says. C h o u s a y s h e w a s e x tre m e ly pleased w ith the final product, con­ g ra tu la tin g F u's sta u n c h effo rt in bringing his project to print. H ow ­ ever, the feed b ack Fu gets on his comic is not always positive. A dam Snyder, a sociology junior, says the strip resembles a soap opera m ore than a comic, and has trouble identifying with the characters. " I t c o m e s off a s o n e o f th o se cheesy comics like Apartment 3-G or M a r y Worth or s o m e th in g th a t nobody likes," Snyder says. "I don't know if h e's trying to be serious or trying to be funny half the tim e." Instead of trying to piece together a choppy, disjointed narrative, Snyder says he prefers com ics like Dilbert and The Far Side that only require a quick read for a quick payoff. "It's som ething to relieve stress," he says. "I mean, you do n 't have to get involved w ith the story of Dil­ bert and Dogbert." M a rk F in n , an e m p lo y e e of A u s tin B ooks a n d Sci-Fi a n d an established self-publisher, says the success of th e in d e p e n d e n t com ic book usually depends on the story. "It's the writing and characteriza­ tion that really hooks people," Finn says. "I w ould say m ore so than the artwork, m ore so than whether or not your book is in color. For the inde­ pendent m arket, th a t's why people are turning to it. If they want artwork, they can generally [get] slicker, better artwork From most of the profession­ als in the industry. To get th a t real un iq u e tw ist on a character, th a t's what they're really looking for." Finn says the self-published cir­ cuit represents all styles of anim a­ tion, from m anga to superhero. The m o st su c c e ssfu l ty p e s te n d to be o u tla n d ish satire and th e "slice of life" stories like Utter Confusion, he says. F inn sa y s d e m a n d for s e lf­ published m aterial stem s from read ­ ers' desire to see som ething new. "Right now is a real good tim e for self-p u b lish ers because the s u p e r­ hero comics have hit a point w here they're stale again and the ideas that th e y 'v e com e u p w ith a r e n 't th e g re a te st of id eas. So p e o p le s ta r t looking for the personal vision." Since self-publishers can't compete with the larger com panies' advertis­ ing budget, m any independent comic books live and die by word-of-mouth, Finn says. He adds that self-publish­ ers w ith m oney have an advantage over th e ir peers, h a v in g access to computer resources, bulk copiers and color processing. Self-publishing is a chance for aspiring com ic artists to learn to balance business responsibili- ties and artistic standards, Finn says. "It's a training ground," he said. This is a chance to see if you can hack it." A lth o u g h Fu o n c e d o u b te d w h e th e r he c o u ld h a c k it, h e is learning to have a little m ore faith in his w ork. D espite only selling 300 copies of the 2,000 books printed, Fu says he isn 't discouraged. He says poor re tu rn s a re n o rm al for firs t­ tim e p u b lish e rs and h e know s he has a fan following to support him. If he can recuperate financially, he p la n s to re le a s e a fin a l book fo r Utter Confusion next spring, he says. A lth o u g h h e 's g u n n in g fo r a bach elo r's in architecture, Fu says com ic book p ro d u c tio n m ay w in out. H e sees arch itectu re as som e- thing to tide him over until he can devote his attention to comic art. Fu would like to get a job w ith a major comic d istrib u to r like D ark H orse Comics and hopes to one day ow n his ow n production company. As for the limelight, Fu says he'll keep an open m ind. "I'll just roll w ith it," Fu says. "I don t feel very good a b o u t selling m yself, b ut I g u ess it's one of the necessary evils." ONE HOUR SERVICE IS BACK WITH OUR NEW PROCESSOR!!
