VIEWPOINT Involimtaiy Volunteerism Maybe you thought volunteerism w as a voluntary activ­ ity- ^ eP Pete Gallego D-A lp in e however, has a different idea. Gallego has authored a bill which has been approved by the House H igher Education Committee, that would require all Texas college students to perform at least 28 hours of volunteer work each semester. Gallego isn't venturing into uncharted territory with this piece of legislation, but if he s successful, he 11 certainly be setting a precedent. Only M an land has approved a public se n ice requirement, but it applies only to high school stu­ dents. Similar attem pts to require volunteer work for high school and college students have failed in other states, and this one should too. Gallego's bill is well-intentioned. Students should vol­ unteer. Students — and all citizens for that m atter — should give back to their communities. And those who do volunteer would probable’ tell you they have benefited from the experience of helping others. But forcing volun­ teerism on college students defeats the purpose. Volunteering is m ore than an activity; in some sense, it's an attitude. V\ hile volunteering is designed to benefit som eone other than the volunteer, those who give their time do so because it's an activity that, for them, also brings personal satisfaction. If "volunteers" are helping others only because they have to, it's not likely that anyone involved would derive great satisfaction from the experi­ ence. And for those w ho do volunteer because they actual­ ly w ant to, a state m andate would diminish the signifi­ cance of their hard work. While the dispute over this bill has centered on the m er­ its of mandatory volunteering, another area of contention is the hour requirement. Som e think the bill would be more tolerable if it required students to enlist in 40 volunteer hours over a four-year period. But again, volunteering should be a voluntary activity — that's exactly what the w ord implies. W hat respectable civic-minded organization wants a student to grudgingly show up at i t s doorstep announcing, "I'm here to do mv time so I can graduate. So, where do you want m e?" that keeps But aside from the philosophical controversy, Gallego's bill would incur unnecessary costs and only complicate the airea dy-bu r d ensom e bu reaucracy this University chugging ahead. The Legislative Budget Board estimates that each college would spend about $50,(XX) annually to monitor students' volunteer activities, and it's likely that the University would have to establish a new office to keep track of each student's progress in meeting the requirement. And what about UT's Student Volunteer Board? Were this bill to pass, a bewildered SVB would be forced to reexamine its role on cam pus. Volunteerism should not be this difficult. There are other w ays to engage students in volunteerism aside from forcing every student to meet an hour require­ m ent in order to obtain an otherwise hard-earned degree. California last year required its state university system to create courses that integrate community service into the course curriculum. Students pursuing certain degrees are required to give volunteer hours in order to better under­ stand the application of the subject matter. If students m ust volunteer, it should at least be related to w hat students learn in the classroom. Those who volunteer their time have the opportunity to shape others' lives for the better. Every one should want to volunteer. But, the fact is not everyone has the time or the desire to contribute to community-building activities. Gallego's attempt to im prove the situation is a noble one, but state law is not the answer. :si ,r What? .. They are much, much better than they’ve ever been in my lifetim e....

GALLERY Opinion By Mike Jones Daily Texan Columnist The Student Go\ eminent run-off offers redemption for the apathetic. (A course, if vou were too stupid or comfortable to vote in the first place, 1 can t see how a second chance is going to do anv of us anv good. The fact is, democracy failed us. Or, we failed democracy Either wav vou slice it, we got screw ed. Voter turnout in this vear’s Student Government elections was poor — to say the least. 1 won t embarrass us bv throwing out the numbers. But let’s just sav that if you ve slept with 46,(XXf people dur­ ing your stay at the University, you still probably didn’t sleep with anybody that voted in this year's election. Which may not be a bad thing — I saw the freaks that voted. I watched them line up one by one and pound that phone mer­ cilessly. Jeremy Liu of the NADER ticket w as there with a big "Vote for Jeremy" sign his only expense during the campaign. Jeremy got 183 people to vote for him, and he spent less than $10. Pretty good consid­ ering he was almost as invisible during the campaign as the mysterious Michael 1 lammond who withdrew' under (I'll call it) "odd circumstances." The point is, if you missed this year's election, you missed a hell of a show. Better You don’t deserve to vote I don't see how a second chance is going to do any o f as any good. than any reality TV out there. Some of it was just too weird to pnnt. Some of it was too obscene to pnnt. And some of it fell through the cracks. Never fear, them's still a run-off. The two remaining parties, Right and Emerge, an? in the center nng battling for the souls of what remains of the small group of losers that voted in the first place. The responsible thing to do would be to beg you to go and vote in the run-off. However, it seems a little pointless. The SG candidates were in vour face for a good two weeks. Everybody on this campus was aware of the upcoming SG election. It was just that nobodv cared. Perhaps this column should beg you not to vote in the run-off. Then, when nobody showed up to vote I could point to the aw’e- some power of The Daily Texan to influence elections. But wre all know it would be a lie. Besides, that wouldn't be fair to Danielle Anderson and Matt from RIGHT I lammond from EMERGE, w'ho presum­ ably spent a lot of time and money kissing your ass just to get into the runoff. Bov, don't they feel stupid. Perhaps this is just what happens w’hen you get a bunch of middle-to-upper-mid- dle-class kids together whose parents pay for everything they own. You don't care about tuition increases or student issues because you don't really attend this univer­ sity. Your parents' money attends this uni­ versity. You're here to get the diploma, get drunk, get laid and, ultimately, get a nice job. And, since none of the candidates put forth an initiative for a 24-hour Gap, or for a frozen margarita machine in every dorm — well, then your tiny, tiny world was unaf­ fected. Student apathy isn't unique to the University of Texas at Austin. A little clicki- ty-clack of the keyboard down Internet road provides countless university newspa­ per articles decrying student apathy from the much vaunted University of California System to Florida State University. I could get behind student apathy if we were the only university doing it. Sadly, that's not the case. Our apathy is unoriginal. Our prob­ lems with Student Government are univer­ sal. The cries, "They don't do anything; they don't represent the students; they're a bunch of resume builders," have echoed off more dorm hails than just those of Jester. So what do we do now’? Ignore it, forget it until next year when the circus comes back to town? Ek) we wait for that polariz­ ing issue to force us to vote? I don't know what the polarizing issue could be. It can't have anything to do with money, or you already would have been involved with this year's election. It wouldn't have any­ thing to do with campus safety or, again, you would probably have been involved in this year's election already. If w'e could just figure out how’ to get the pictures of aborted fetuses or the debate over the origins of certain middle-Eastem cuisine somehow' included in next year's election platforms, then we would have a real bam-bumer. Better yet, if w'e could make the Confederate statue debate a cen­ tral issue in the SG elections then we'd be walking in high cotton. People w'ould show’ up from miles around to vote. They proba­ bly wouldn't be students, but at this point we'll take anybody we can get. Animals have feelings too. A new law in Berkeley. Calif., aims to give pets the respect they deserve. The city council unani­ mously approved a poli­ cy that changes the term "pet owner" to “ pet owner/guardian" in the municipal code. This does not change pet lia­ bility and responsibility laws. Supporters said they believe it will generate respect. “ It’s a step in the right direction." said Claudia Kawczynska, editor of Berkeley-based BARK magazine. “Our relation­ ship with our companion animals goes beyond the fact that we own them; we share our lives with them.” The movement to rec­ ognize pets as more than possessions was launched some years ago by the Mill Valley- based In Defense of Animals. Berkeley follows Boulder, Colo., and West Hollywood in enacting such an ordinance. Military not perfect, but ... of exam ple Stephen Stetson s March 2 opinion piece ( Two islands ... resist... U.S.militarism") is another contemporary American liberals biting the hands that feed them. Characterizing the "American mili­ tary-industrial complex" as "one of the most dangerous and reckless assemblages to ever threaten human life" shows that Mr. Stetson is either woefully ignorant of history (ever hear of the SS, Steve?) or is purposely select­ ing the "facts" he rites. I readily admit that there have been instances w’here American military forces have made mistakes (as was the case with the Japanese fishing vessel) or even committed atrocities outright (the so- called Indian Wars, for example). However, no objective observer could compare the w’orst excesses of the American military writh the casual cruelty so common in many of the world's militaries (especially those owned and operated bv Third World socialist dictators often held up by liberals like Stetson as models of "empowerment" in developing nations). Mr. Stetson, like all Americans, is entitled to his own opinion on the military and anything else. I just hope he appreciates the fact that he owes that right to the same men and w'omen in uniform he savages in his editorial. Jerry Saldivar UT staff Have some compassion Perhaps I am too naive or idealistic, but the article in Thursday's paper about a pro­ posed ordinance that will limit "the ability of transients to ask for money from passers- by disgusts me. The city council believes that "aggressive solicitation is disturbing and disruptive ... and contributes to ... a sense of fear, intimidation and disorder." I have been a student for nearly three full years here and have W'alked down the Drag countless times. Sure I have been panhan­ dled, but never in such a way that made me tremble with fear. I am not denying that problems have, happened, but I've never seen any, which suggests empirically to me they do not occur that often. What does occur? People asking for money. What the hell is w'rong with that? If I w’as homeless I'd do the same thing. Perhaps the disturbing emotions this causes are not_ due to the threat of violence, but rather an internal insecurity on the part of the person being panhandled. Sure the situation is uncom­ fortable, but it cannot be ignored (in fact, it can be a blessing). What's the next step? Round up all the homeless and take them to concentration campus a la Nazi Germany? Oh, and to the student that said panhan­ dlers "just annoy people," I want you to know’ that you annoy me. Have some com­ passion. Zac Sturm Plan II junior Enjoy it now- What a novel basis for ethical behavior — who gives a damn about it if it's just animals (those caribou the writer misspelled) and if ils "in a place you will never visit." After all, how can "places YOU w’ill never visit" pos­ sibly compare to having enough oil to speed through the country' in oil-guzzling SUVs? ANWAR will give you guys about 6 months more of oil to run the things; in order to preserve that prerogative, any place far away with only animals in it is useless and exploitable. Since drilling will "only affect a handful of species," w’hat does that matter either — species are a dime a dozen anyway, nght? Based on our 'need' for com­ mercial enhancement, w’e can deride the fate or extinction of any species we feel like. Whoa, w'hat power! One day, it will be OUR species' turn to be wiped out, and w'e will have done it to ourselves! I'm sure you'll enjoy your oil until then ... Rosanne Sutton UT staff Hellraisers still have it Awesome, awesome, AWESOME focus article on the Longhorn Hellraisers! It brought back some memories that gave me chills and got my orange blood racing. The organization has really come a long way in its 13-year existence and its great to see such a well-researched form of recognition. Having devoted quite a bit of time and ener­ gy to the group myself, I really value the notice that fans take of the Hellraisers and the vigor that they bnng to an arena. It's tough to be that loud that long but the nail- biters, big wins, and appreciation make it all worthwhile. Hook 'em horns! Charlie Moore Ex-social VP Longhorn Hellraisers Advertising graduate student Go vote! Webster defines apathy as a lack of emo­ tion, a lack of interest, an indifference. I will have to also include The University of Texas student body. If mv calculations are correct and only 3,847 students voted in the recent student election, out of 46,610 students, that is only about 8 percent. I am completely stunned by the lack of interest in student participation and vision on this campus. For the past four years I have read the various Firing Lines that have appeared. All repre­ senting a large, diverse and opinionated stu­ dent body. There never seems to be a lack of low balling and second-grade playground anecdotes when it comes to those wrho choose to squabble back and forth through the Firing Line sometimes even hiding behind anonymity to shelter themselves from any backlash that they might receive. It seems that like many people in this w'orld we all have opinions but lack the suf­ ficient "cojones" to by to change and imple­ ment these ideas. Instead, when a group of students come along w'ho have a vision and spark to move we call them non-important and unrepresentative. "They are just lap dogs to Greek lobbyists, " I overheard just two days prior to the election. How alarm­ ing and jaded have we become that we are already too cynical to believe that our vote doesn t matter and student government has no affect on our own student lives. It seems that a recent presidential election has had no effect on our voting turnout and I can only gasp to think that we are a reflection of the United States growing apathv towards vot­ ing. For all of you who have written in to the Firing Line and choose not to vote in the stu­ dent government elections I say "you're all big hats with no cattle." Sure you have the ideas but you don't have the time, the guts, or the real initiative to find out about the candidates that could help you be heard. Everyone has things that they don't particu­ larly like about the University Maybe if we all took the time to read the platforms that these candidates practically have to assault us with, we would find some issues that we didn't even know about that we are inter­ ested in and how they feel about issues that are already important to us. I encourage ALL STUDENTS to take this time to reflect on your participation or lack there of and get out there and VOTE in the run-off elec­ tions. Kelly Convery History sen ior Doctors vs. CEOs This week I got an interesting letter in the mail. It informed me that pharmacists at Wal-Mart — on the CEO's insistence — are not allow'ed to carry the drug Preven (the morning-after pill). It also mentioned that some states are trying to pass laws that would allow' pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for any type of birth control they find offensive. I couldn't really believe this, so I asked a pharmacist at my local (Bastrop) Wal-Mart if this is true. We had a nice, quiet discussion and evidently, this is true. The fact that a per­ son s doctor could write a prescription or ask him or her to buy something over-the- counter and a pharmacist — or C E O __ would presume to know better than the doctor does, what is best for the client's health really shocks me. In my thinking, no matter what a person's political or personal beliefs are, he or she should be able to buy doctor recommended medicine or get a pre­ scription filled. It seems to me that if a huge, national cor­ poration can deride on the morality of the public at large, then this public can decide to not shop at that store anymore — or at least until folks can be assured that they can get their prescriptions filled without worry that the pharmacist — or CEO of the company, may not agree with the doctor. Fran Rush Lecturer; kinesiology h b ■ABC says proposed legislation is feasible The D a i l y T e x a n Monday, March 2( Page 5 BEER, from 1 Lik e m any brewpubs, W aterloo holds a mixed beverage perm it that allow s the com pany to serve d istilled spirits and other drinks as w e ll as in-house beer. H o w ever, holders of mixed b ev­ erage perm its are not allow ed to sell an alcoholic beverage to any person except for consum ption on the licensed premises. " E v e r y d ay people come in ask­ ing if we have bottles, and w e tell them that w ith this perm it w e are not allow ed to sell anv beer to go, you can 't w a lk a w a y w ith it," Anderson said. In other w ords, m any of A u stin 's most popular local beers cannot be found an yw here but at the brew eries themselves — w h ile in tern atio n ally-d istrib u ted beers such as G uinness and Corona are a vailab le at most neighborhood grocery stores.

Anderson said consumers could a v o id d rin k in g more than the legal lim it or d rivin g w h ile intox­ icated if they had the option of buying beer tor consum ption at home.

"T h e y [cannot] take a couple of bottles home or a keg if they w ant to party. I hat is w h at w e are push­ ing for." In an effort to p ro v id e cus­ tomers w ith local beers at home, A n derson and other brevvmasters b anded lobb y the Texas Legislature for a bill that w o uld change the laws. together to I his is such a small in d u stry and this is such a small thing w e are asking for — but to us it is a big deal,' Anderson said. " I w ant to be able to take a keg of my ow n beer home w ith ou t breaking the law ." The lo b b yin g efforts of local brew eries paid off recently as the group has fin a lly found a sym pa­ thetic ear at the Capitol. Rep. K in o Flores, D -M ission, filed a bill Feb. 23 that w o u ld allo w b rew pubs to sell in-house malt liquor, ale or beer to cus­ tomers tor off-premise consum p­ tion. It's been v e ry slow-going up until this past w eek," Anderson “ This is such a small industry and this is such a small thing we are asking for — but to us it is a big deal. I want to be able to take a keg of my own beer home without breaking the law/' — Steve Anderson, Austin brewmaster said. "N o w we are going for a big push." The bill has been referred to the and Lice n s in g H ouse A d m in is tra tiv e P ro i ed u res Com m ittee, of which Flores is a member. If the bill becomes law, brew pub custom ers w ill be able to take home up to 1,000 barrels of beer per brewpub annually — but the leg isla tio n 's ap p ro val is by no means a certainty. Anderson said. "W e h ave got to re a lly -Tart pushing in order to try to get the com mittee to hear il. let alone act on it," Anderson said. "It is a real big long shot. W e want another sponsor in the Senate . for a com panion bill to cut time as the session d raw s on. ’ The legislation w ill probably little d irect op p osition face because it stops short ot allow ing b rew pu bs to d istrib ute beer directly to grocerv stores or other retailers, A n d erson added. "There is no chance in hell that w ill ever happen." Anderson said. "There is no resale involved and that is not going to change. The w holesale lobby is verv adam ant about that and 1 respect that. I hev can do their thing and we w ill do our thing." Richard Sanche/, chief of-staff for Flores s office, said the o rig i­ nal legislation, w hich established brew pubs in Iexas in 1993, was flawed because it did not p rovide brew eries w ith the ability to s e l l beer to go. Sanche/ pointed out that b rew p u b regulations v a ry w id e ly from state to state. "W e think that this w asn 't fair to begin w ith ," Sanchez said.

The invitation-only conference focused on issues including cooperative learning, classroom technology, future challenges and the Texas Top 10 Percent law, which guarantees students graduating from Texas pub­ lic high schools in the top 10 percent of their class admis­ sion to the U niversity. Margarita Arellano, conference co-chair and associate dean of students, said the purpose of this conference — which brings educators together for the betterment of the U niversity and its students — is particularly im por­ tant because only 20 percent of Texans hold a four-year college degree. 1 he U niversity of Texas wants to increase the gradu­ ation rate of our students, and this conference fosters that goal by bringing together all the colleges and departments," Arellano said. "W e put the students at the center of our mission." O f the nine breakout sessions offered, attendees chose two areas of student success that held their interest. Several L I representatives also spoke about their corre­ sponding departments. L I System officials were on-hand to discuss a profile of the student body, w hile the Office of Graduate Studies spoke about recruitment and graduate admis­ sions. Representatives of the Office of the Dean of Students reviewed valuable resources available to stu­ dents, faculty and staff. Linda Ferreira-Buckley, associate dean of liberal arts, said attending the conference gave her the understand­ ing that many offices and departments on campus need to work together for students to succeed. I his conference has made me more aware of what a huge and complex institution we are and how- many serv ices are available to students and faculty to promote success," Ferreira-Buckley said. Participants attended opening and closing sessions run by keynote speaker Karl Smith, a U niversity of Minnesota associate professor of engineering and a researcher in collaborative and cooperative learning. "Even though the U niversity of Texas is so diverse, sometimes it is good to bring someone from outside, so that we get connected to higher education at a bigger level, " Arellano said. Interaction during the w'hole-group sessions and the subsequent breakout sessions included group discus­ sion on preferred methods of teaching, obstacles and past experiences of attendees. Sara lavlor, graduate student in educational adm inis­ tration, said she felt her time at the conference w’as wrell spent because she was with people who shared her goal, which is to help students succeed. "1 learned more about the channels of the University, the services offered and I learned a lot about different techniques people have tried and used in the classroom as an alternative to lectures, which was very helpful," Taylor said. I lie conference was sponsored by the Offices of the President, Vice-President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students.

And d o w n the stretch, w hen Texas has un dergone the losing streak, it has faced all ranked opponen ts — Iow'a State, Texas Tech and O klahom a. In two of those games, Texas staved w ith the more talented teams, but the team could not hold its o w n against ISU. C o n radt has said repeatedly said that d o w n the stretch she has faith in the selection com m ittee noticing the intense difficulty o f her schedule, esp ecially playing in the Big 12, where Texas fin­ ish ed 7-9 and p la y in g ag a in s t six ranked teams.

C?ri?ri Hitman’s burden ‘Panic’ showcases dead-on performances by Macy, Sutherland, Campbell I h e d a i l y t e x a n Monday, M arch 5, 2 0 0 1 Page IS By Sergio Ybarra Daily Texan Staff Do you know what destiny is?" Michael (Donald Sutherland) asks his y’oung grand­ son, Sammy. " It s w ho y o u are, w ho you're meant to be." Panic The joke here is that Michael has single- handed 1\ shaped the destine of the young boy s father, Alex (W illiam H. Macy), with no regard to his w ill at all. You see. Michael has trained his now middle-aged son to be a contract killer like him­ self with all the vigor of a little-league dad since he was about Sam m y’s age. for Alex now w orks Michael, living each day in constant misery. role as M ichael’s may seem a lit­ tle too much like a carica­ ture if it weren't played so by convincingly Sutherland, a great actor who metes out menace so subtlv that it seems he has cultivated it into a lifestyle. ' k i t i t i f is s ta rr in g William H. Macy Donald Sutherland d ir e c to r Henry Bromell such A 1 he fact that he gives such an uncharac­ teristically low-key performance is very telling of Panic, the debut feature of director Henry Bromell. This is the kind of film w here it s obvious that the performers care about not sensationalizing the material they are working on. I lowever, doing that is not an easy job. ! he film catches up with Alex as he enters his first session with a psychologist (John Ritter). Years of self-loathing about the work he does for his dad and his inability to share those feelings with anyone have caught up w ith Alex in a weird kind of mid-life crisis. Michael is not the kind of man he can share his feelings with; he would exploit them. Alex s mother Diedre (Barbara Bain) is no better. She stands by Michael and his business as if he were the avatar of the American entrepreneur. Bam plays Diedre as a fiercely loyal wife so well that we come to despise her even more than Michael. After Alex tru ‘s to disclose his d esire to stop killing, she scolds him for "talking wacky. A fter discussing the conversation w ith Michael, she tries to ease her husband s con­ cerns. You know how sensitive he is, she reflects, as if sensitivity were a personality quirk. I he setup of the story may seem familiar to fans of movies and prem ium cable. Recent films such as Analyze This and the H B O hit The Sopranos have found interest in putting men who kill tor a living on the couch. However, with Panic, Alex s sessions with his therapist merely serve to show how far he has delved into loneliness. I his is not a story about Alex s need to discover some­ thing hidden inside he knows w hat’s hurt­ ing him, so much as his need to talk about it. W illiam H. Macy, a great character actor and staple in the casts of such emotional directors as I aul Thomas Anderson and D avid Mamet, plays Alex as a man trapped within his own destiny' with such restraint that it hurts to see his downcast stare when prodded about his feelings Sarah 1 le gets the most prodding from a beauti­ ful hairdresser named (N eve Campbell), whom he meets while waiting tor his first session with his therapist. Suffering from a kind ot manic condition, she engages Alex in frank discussions con­ cerning his life. The sexual tension between these two presents the kind of escape Alex has been looking for She finally allows him the chance to express primal emotion when he has throw n walls around every other relationship he has. "H e has beautiful, sad eves," Sarah t e lls her friends. There's an attraction there, stemming from the pure tragedy seeping out of Alex. He s so completeh sad it has made him into a walkinc wo Notice the exchange between them when s h e confronts him on wh\ he is interested in her. "You're not some middle-aged gu\ look­ ing for a pretty voung thing are vou? "A re vou a pretty voung thing1 "W h a t do vou think1 "Yes." A nd with that Alex just smiles, clearly embarrassed. This kind ot simple, subtle sit­ uational poetry is the essence of the film. Then we see him with his wife Martha (Tracey Ullm an), and son L’llman, a terrific character actress, understands the glass wall that must exist between Martha and Alex She is terribly frustrated with her inability' to understand Alex's pain. I liman uses her charming, homely presence to heartbreak­ ing effect here. Martha is a patient, under­ standing woman who fears that she may be the problem with her marriage. A ll of the unhappy aspects of \lex's life are contrasted in the touching scenes he shares with his son Sammy 1 hev spend the long minutes before Sammy falls asleep talking in his bed. In these scenes ot relax­ ation we understand just how tense and uptight Alex has been even just having a beer. I his taste of comfort and hi-> want to protect it in his son may cause him to con­ front the forces of his past. And just like those old Greek dramas, it’s all part ot Alex's struggle with his destins To be fair, Panic is too wonderful to be rel­ egated to a tragedy. We revel in the sweet scene in which Sumnw asks his dad why he is so sad. And w e feel horror when Michael introduces Alex to killing by way of shoot­ ing squirrels. This is one ot the best films of the year. ro urtesv o f Row R eleasing Neve C am pbell plays Sarah, the object of a hitman's affection, in the new movie Panic, directed by Henry Brom ell. W illia m H. Macy plays the hitman, who copes with his mid-life crisis by going to therapy. A tasty Turkish delight Istanbul Oriental Ensemble rocked Hogg Thursday night Get your UT news in The Duly Texan By S tu a rt B ro o k s Daily Texan S taff Six suits adorned the stage of the H ogg A u d ito riu m on Thursday night, bringing some rather unusual instruments and the promise of an evening filled w ith "songs ot love and pas­ sion." Two hours later, an ecstatic crowd of dancers filled that same stage, bringing the set of Burhan Ocal s Istanbul O riental Ensemble to a brilliant, nearly orgiastic close. A specialist of Turkish music of the 17th and 18th centuries, Burhan Ogal has reached inter­ national acclaim tor a num ber of works that have stretched the boundaries of traditional music, fusing Western classical and jazz ele­ ments into his native sound. A s part ot his cur­ rent U.S. tour, Ogal brought some of Turkey's finest Rom a m usicians to p erform classic Ottom an songs that w ere o rig inally intended for sultans. Burhan O^al kicked off the set w ith Hicaz Pesrev, in w hich he played the tanbur, a sitar- likt instrum ent with a w id e tonal range. The almost-packed house remained acutely atten­ tive as the Ensem ble lifted the cen­ turies-old harm onies of Sarkl Savd-Eled from the stage effort­ lessly. A tentative "th an k y o u " from director Oijal, and his m in­ s t r e l s launched into Hicaz Potbori, an upbeat num ber that had the audience clap p in g fra n tica lly along, the m usicians becom ing louder at every turn. "Y o u enjoy, it? Oyal asked, almost noncha­ lantly. I he audience erupted. I he Ensem ble continued w ith increasing rapture from the au d i­ m u c h to the delight ot the audience. As the Ensemble received a standing ovatioi tor their p enultim ate song Bu rh an k \ a grinned at the crowd. Now, he announces l e t ' s dance." The show endec w’ith authority, in a climax of bodies shaking and grindim across two* hours H ogJ A uditorium was two thousand miles awa\. i was the 18th century, and the nudienc sultan for whom Burhan Ocgvl plavc d the stage. For ence, the highly trained musicians never skip ­ ping a beat and seamlessly' w eaving complex rhythm changes and motifs. As the first ot three pieces penned b\ Burhan Ogal was per­ five m usicians w aited formed, patiently for the nod of the composer to begin their solos. the other of I he most striking feature of the evening w as the im pressive range of instrum entation. Apart from the tanbur clarinet and violin, there were pieces written exclu­ sively' for the kanun, rem iniscent a pedal-steel guitar, and an oud, w hich resem­ bled a lute. A s for per­ cussion, the spotlight* fell upon the darbuka, a vase-shaped finger drum that Ogal played in an intense and riv ­ eting solo in w hich he left no p art of the unexplored. drum Women 18 to 45 PPD D e V E LopntE N r m k ufefct&*rya!H»0 toe formerly named PPD Pharmaco H e g a l c in e m a s www.regalcinemas.com ✓ SEE SPOT RUN|PG) ' - ' - ✓ CARMAN (PG-13) DOWN TO EARTH (PG-13) ' HANNIBAL(R) Right now, PPD D e v e lo p m e n t RECESS SCHOOL S OUT (G) ‘ ' is lo o k in g for h e a lth y , n o n ­ CAST AWAY (PG-13) THE WEDDING PLANNER(PG-13) s m o k in g w o m e n not ta k in g birth control pills to p a rtic ip a te in a m e d ic a l research study The study will involve one two mghf and one three night THE WEDDING PLANNER (PG-13) ✓ * THE MEXICAN (R) ✓ CARMAN(PG-13) ✓ 3000 MILES TO GRACELAND(R) DOWN TO EARTH (PG-13) HANNIBAL (R) visits Study participants can earn up to $2500.

Icebox first hit the web in )eeember of 1999 and featured t a r h hits like "Zombie College" (a parodv of teen soap operas that took place on a college campus with an undead student body), and "H ard Drinking i incoin' (the misadventures of the Civil War-era president and his raging lo\ e for alcoholic binging and purging). The ideas for series were very original, unique and unlike anything on the Web. Sometimes, however, edgv material was pushed aside for jokes that caught people with shorter attention spans. "The Paula Í rinciple created by David, chronicled the behind the scenes life of a presidential-candi­ date-to-be, as he would crack under the pres­ sure of becoming the most powerful man in the world. Due to low ratings, the cartoon only lasted one episode. David, however, would later find success on HBO with the series, Curb Your Enthusiasm. But with success came with controversy The hardest hit came from "Mr. W ong," a series about an 80-something Chinese house- boy with an extreme overbite, pale yellow skin and a Chinese dialect that would make Jerry Ley vis seem grounded. It was bombard­ ed w ith controversy over its Asian stereotype and offensive style. I he cartoon would go on to become one of Icebox’s most watched series. Unfortunately, the last few weeks were hard on its dwindling staff. At one time, the site had over 100 employees. But in it s last remaining days that number had reduced to liist over 20. Funding was also a major prob­ lem for the site, and the main reason tor its demise. The site officially closed up shop Feb. 9, laying oft the remaining 27 employees. The owners are still looking to sell the site's assets including the remaining cartoon series, which are still up for the sale. The site has been offi­ cially shut down, but hopefully its material will appear somewhere else on the Web soon. From the former cast and crew of Mystery Science Theater MX) came Timmy Big Hainls.com, a truly twisted but hilarious turn on the humor magazine genre. It featured everything from unique reviews of every’day' life to online poetry to games that you couldn't and probably wouldn't play anywhere else. It even boasted that it was the only site to fea­ ture new svrup ads every week. The games section featured such time killers as "Kill-a-Guy" where you, the viewer, would play God by touching a man and killing him (that was literally the whole game); "Dr. Maligno's World Domination Quiz;" and the interactive apology' game "Apologize to Steve." I he site also featured an ingenious comic strip called " The Cliparts,' which featured a series of woai processing clip art images in a weekly comic strip series around an office. Any'thing from an eagle to a Natiy'e American Indian chief could be worked into the series. The site yvas created and yvntten by the former MST3K staff including Patrick Brantseg, Paul Chaplin, Bill Corbett, Kevin Murphy, Mike J. Nelson and Brent Peterson. Corbett, who provided the voice for Crow for the final three seasons of MST3K, said in a story for CNN that the Web site w'as "just about breaking even" financially. "We're updating for two more weeks, then w'e'll probably leave it up for a little while. Then at some point it will probably go away," Corbett also said in the CNN story. Z.com Z.com first opened up shop in May of 2(XX), showcasing the original to the bizarre for syndi­ cation and advertising rights across the World Wide Web and bevond. During it's run, it had managed to ink deals yvith many movers and shakers in the entertainment industry' such as singer Alanis Morisette, comedienne Ellen the Red Hot Chili Peppers, DeGeneres, actor/ comedians Bob Saget, David Spade and Don Rickies and movie producer jerry Bruckheimer to produce, fund or create features for the site. The company also owned the rights to Comciiy.com, an online community' dedicated to showcasing the best in Internet humor and the funniest stand-up comics currently w'orking the club circuits. That site is still aliy'e on the w'eb, but is now independent of Z.com's assets. Unfortunately, the money’ wasn't coming in and the viewers weren't staying long enough for the backers and the ady'ertisers to make a decent profit. Slowly, the staff was laid off until only five members remained during the final days.* The site officially shut down on Feb. 16. Z.com CEO Joe DiNunzio said he knows now that the Internet is not an industry that's ready for bud­ ding entertainment entrepreneurs. "Web entertainment has yet to fully develop," DiNunzio said in a story for the Hollywood Reporter. It yvill take time to find its place."

Page 20 T h e D a ily T e x a n Monday, March 5, 2001 Swiss reject European Union talks By The Associated Press By The Associated Press m nntrv" country G EN EV A — S w iss voters overw helm ingly rejected calls for im m ediate m em bership talk s with the European Union Sunday, underlining the Alpine nation's tenacious independence at the heart o f the continent. In a national referendum , an unexpectedly high 77 percent voted again st the "Yes to Europe" proposal, which called for the g o v ­ ernm ent to begin talks on ¡oining the eco­ nomic and trading bloc. I he governm ent had cam paign ed against the proposal, subm itted bv a coalition ot left- wing and youth grou p s in 19%, as political­ ly premature. "We are very p leased with the result said It is a S w iss President M oritz Leuenberger unified political response from the whole In som e G erm an-speaking states — tradi­ tionally the m ost skeptical of the EU — the no vote topped 85 percent. Even in normally pro-European French-speaking states like Geneva, a m ajority cam e out against the m em bership talks. Although the seven-m em ber Cabinet has repeatedly stated it w ants Sw itzerland to join the EU, it argues that public opinion won't perm it that until at least 2010. And even that m ay be an am bitious target given the si/e o f the no vote indicated in Su n d ay's referendum. In Brussels, a spokesm an for the EU exec­ utive C om m ission played dow n the snub. I he Sw iss did not say no to Europe. They chose to answ er the question later," said EU spokesm an 1 uc Veron. "A nd this is ob vio u s­ • _ . . IV a choice ly a choice that the European Com m ission C u r n r u i a n f n m m i c s i n n respects." . H ow ever, there is a danger that the EU m ay sim p ly run out of patience with tiny Sw itzerland as it tries to cement its own eco­ nom ic union and deal with more willing m em bership recruits from eastern Europe and the M editerranean. Even though they are surrounded by EU countries, the six million Sw iss are fiercely in dependent and take pride in their sover- eignty. G overnm ent plans to join a verv loose European trade pact were thrown out in a 1992 referendum , and since then authorities have put integration on the back-bumer. Sw itzerland is not even a member of the United N ations because of deep m istrust of outsid e interference. Economically, Sw itzerland is thriving. Last , j u__ , vpar fhere w n c year there w as a record budget su rp lu s of $2.6 billion, and consum er confidence is at a 12-year high. Inflation and unem ploym ent are only about 2 percent, and foreign com p a­ nies are flocking to set up headquarters in Sw itzerland. Sw iss com panies and banks, which used to be enthusiastic ad vo cates of EU m em ber­ ship, have cooled to the prospect. The m ain financial in dustry group, Econom iesuisse, welcom ed the outcom e and said it w ould allow m ore time to realize the benefits of bilateral free trade agreem ents reached with the EU tw o years ago in areas like transport, labor and agriculture. There also seem s little su p po rt for d ro p ­ ping the S w iss franc in favor of the euro. And banks are increasingly fretful over EU pressure on Sw itzerland to end its hallow ed banking secrecy as part of Europe-w ide m oves to root out tax evasion. Recent hints by the EU executive com m is­ sion that som e m em ber countries m ight link ratification of the bilateral accords to Sw iss concessions on bank secrecy caused w ide­ sp read outrage, as did a French assem bly report which renewed old accusations that Sw itzerland is a haven for dirty money. The pro-European lobby said that the tim ­ ing of the foreign criticism helped boost the anti-European vote. "It's an absolutely brutal d efeat," said Ruedi Baum ann, president of the Green Party. Just 598,108 people — 23 percent — voted for the proposal and not a single state w as in favor. Accessories expected to become this year’s “new jewels •> n B v T h P By The Associated Press P r a c c J . . . downtown Milan. \ 4 : 1 . . . i . M ILAN, Italy — In the past fashion talk w as about hemlines, shoulders and shades. Now it's all about trends details and — m ost im portant — accessories A ccessories are the new savs d esigner Donatella Versace ad d in g that she often bu ild s a look starting from the shoes jew els For next season, she favors an ultra-high heel on shoes and boots. Her ra g is an extra- large leather sack A lw ay s quick on fash ion draw Giorgio A rm ani has just started up an acces­ sory line with a brand new boutique in the In a rare m oment for the conservative designer, his Em porio collection, presented Saturday d u rin g the week-long fall-winter 2001-2002 collections, featured stiletto heels and an unending variety of h an dbags from big sacks to tiny clutch purses. In recent seasons, accessory' hits such as the Fendi baguette bag or the Prada sneaker have m ade their elite labels m ore accessible to the general fashion public. N ot to mention the sold-on-the corner knockoffs, which allow just ab ou t every bod y to have an alm ost-as-good look-alike. For next season, Prada opts for square- heeled M ary Jan es and low-heeled lace-up boots. The new Prada bag is a satchel shoul­ d er b ag carried at the hip. Tom Ford for G ucci also favored this length for his latest shoulder bag. The new G ucci shoe is a rom antic satin pum p tied at the ankle with satin ribbons like a ballet shoe. But accessory betters are putting their m oney on the Gucci crocodile boot, flat as an iron and classy as a lim ousine. It too, alas, is sure to be heavily copied. Boots m ake a big com eback this season, either above the thigh, knee-high or ankle- length. Karl L agerfeld for Fendi based his whole candid collection on a snow -w hite em bossed leather boot. The w inter san dal p op u lar this p ast winter all but d isapp ears. S tock in gs are still u n fash ion able, but d esigners offer leg-w arm ing leggings, knee socks and w oolly tights. The m ost am a z in g accesso ry for next y ear's wintry w eather is a fur hat just like D avy Crockett's — tail and all. The hottest w as at Prada, but different versions p op p ed up at other show s. Som e design ers left the hat at hom e and concentrated on the tails, usin g them to adorn hairstyles. There is a lot of fur in this round of "m o d a M ilanese," used not only for coats and jack­ ets, but also for trim m ing on sleeves, collars and hem lines. Straying from its tradem ark of luxurious furs, Fendi, who show ed Sunday, next se a­ son shears its pelts and creates a winter w on­ derland of white fur d resses, cap es and em bossed leather jackets. The new acces­ sories include a white leather envelope bag, a w ide metal belt and a Victorian brooch, which is more fashion gim m ick than jewel. rom antic, high-collared Other trends include ruffles on anything b lo u ses from (Ferretti) to leather hot pants (Fendi). Z ippers replace buttons in m any outfits. The basic shade is yet again black, with timid invasions of gray, beige and white. Color usually com es in the evening with elaborate sequining. smn Northeast braces for fierce winter storm By The Associated Press A uthorities in the N orth east read­ ied salt trucks and im p osed em er­ gency regulations S u n d ay in antici­ pation of a pow erful winter storm that could paralyze the region with more than a foot o f snow. begin n in g Winter storm w atches w ere in and effect extending into W ednesday for the New England states, the N ational Weather Service said.
