U S . troops killed in offensive
SURMAD, Afghanistan — U.S. warplanes 

pounded aFQaida and Taliban mountain 
strongholds Monday while coalition ground 
troops searched for pockets of enemy fight­
ers in the rugged, snowcovered terrain. The 
heavily armed defenders responded with mor­
tars, grenades and machine gun fire.

At least nine Americans have been killed in 

the offensive — code-named Operation 
Anaconda — including those killed Monday 
when two helicopters took enemy fire.

EU ministers ratify protocol
BRUSSELS, Belgium — The 15 nations of 
the European Union agreed Monday to ratify 
the Kyoto Protocol on global warming. EU 
environment ministers hoped the action 
would encourage other nations that signed 
the accord to ratify it before a U.N.-sponsored 
summit on sustainable development in 
August in South Africa.

No individual EU government has yet rati­
fied the accord, but the ministers committed 
their countries to doing so by June, officials 
said. Environmental groups hailed the deci­
sion, which is legally binding on the 15 gov- 
emments.

Priests’ rights challenged
BOSTON — With the Archdiocese of 
Boston suspending priests on suspicion of 
child molestation and turning their names 
over to prosecutors, some are warning that 
the church is moving too fast and that 
priests’ rights are being trampled.

In the past month, church officials have 
given prosecutors the names of 80 priests 
accused over the past half-century of molest­
ing children. Names of the accused were 
included in news releases, and 10 active 
priests were suspended, some evicted from 
their rectories.

Dow soars by more than 200
NEW YORK — Showing a determination to 
buy not seen in months, investors bid stocks 
sharply higher Monday with a broad advance 
that propelled the Dow Jones industrials up 
more than 200 points for a second straight 
session. The rally reflected a growing consen­
sus among investors that an economic recov­
ery is beginning. Blue chip and technology 
stocks soared despite an earnings warning 
from tech bellwether Oracle.

The Dow closed up 217.96, or 2.1 per­
cent, at 10,586.82, its best finish since July 
19, when the average was 10,610.00. The 
Dow has advanced 479.93 since Friday.

Pulitzer judge withdraws
NEW YORK — Historian Doris Keams 

Goodwin, who has admitted copying passages 
from other works in one of her books, has 
withdrawn from judging the Pulitzer Prizes. 
Pulitzer board administrator Seymour Topping 
said Goodwin “decided not to participate” 
when the board meets April 4-5 to choose the 
21 prizes for arts and journalism work.

In a March 3 letter to board chairman John 

Carroll, Goodwin said “because I am so dis­
tracted by the media focus on my work, I do 
not feel capable of giving the considerable 
time needed to make the proper judgments."

UT-Galveston to build biosafety lab

Level 4 lab to study 
dangerous diseases

By Jennifer Mock
Daily Texan Staff

Construction on the first full-size maxi­
mum biological containment facility on an 
American university campus will begin 
next month at the UT Medical Branch in 
Galveston.

The Biosafety Level 4 laboratory will be 
dedicated to the study of some of the 
world's most dangerous tropical and 
emerging infections. Level 4 is trie highest 
level of safety laboratory in the world and 
only font otne-s exist in the United States.

C.J. Peters, professor and director of 
UTMB's Center for Biodefense, said UTMB 
already has a level 3 safety' laboratory and 
the level 4 lab will allow the school to con­
duct anv and all research they want.

"This allows us to focus on both the real­
ly dangerous bugs and the not so danger­
ous ones," he said. "This lab does not just 
stand out by itself, it fits into all of our spe­
cialized research. It will be an extension of 
our capabilities."

The lab has been compared to a submarine 
inside a giant bank vault, said Tom Curtis, 
spokesman for UTMB. The lab only takes up 
2,000 square feet of the 12,000-square-foot 
facility. The remaining 10,000 square feet will 
house high-tech 
support equipment 
designed to capture and eliminate any 
microbes before they' can exit the structure.

The facility is scheduled to be completed 
in June 2003. The BSL4 lab has an estimated 
budget of $15.5 million, which was funded 
in part by a grant from the Sealv & Smith 
Foundation of Galveston, an organization 
solely dedicated to benefiting UTMB, with 
additional support from other sources.

Peters said having a BSL4 lab at a univer­
sity will allow for a research focus in con­
trast to the labs at the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention and the U.S. Army 
Medical Research Institute of Infectious 
Diseases, which are primarily concerned 
with response to immediate threats.

"The CDC has a big job in protecting the 
country against bioterrorism so they don't 
have time for a lot of research," he said.

Election board 
dismisses case 
against Achieve

Yen-YI Liu/Daily Texan Staff

Achieve ticket manager Matt Mackowiak testifies Monday in front 
of the Election Supervisory Board in response to the One ticket's 
allegation that he engaged in deceptive campaign activity. The 
case was later dismissed due to lack of conclusive evidence.

ESB says One ticket lacks 
evidence to support charges
By Courtney Morris
Daily Texan Staff

The Election Superv isory Board late Monday night dismissed 
due to lack of evidence a complaint accusing the Achieve ticket 
of misrepresentation of character, but the ESB may hold future 
hearings if additional information is presented.

Ben Brummett, financial adviser for One, alleged Monday 
that Matt Mackowiak, campaign manager of the Achieve ticket, 
called One's T-shirt vendor, Dominion Forms, and impersonat­
ed Brummett to obtain information to build Achieve's case 
against One in a previous hearing, which charged One with fail­
ing to disclose T-shirt expenditures.

Mike Poutra, president for Dominion Forms, filed a sworn 
affidavit Friday with the I inehurst Police Department, after a 
student from the Achieve ticket allegedly posed as a represen­
tative with the One ticket to obtain invoices.

In a sworn affidavit, Poutra said he received two phone calls 
the afternoon of Feb. 22. In the first phone call at 5:10 p.m., a 
male caller identified himself as Brummett, according to 
Poutra's affidavit, and said he needed the T-shirt invoice some­
time Sunday.

Poutra refused, but, according to his affidavit, 10 minutes 
later, received another call requesting a price estimate on the 
T-shirts with specifications identical to the order of Kevin 
Robnett, One presidential candidate. Poutra then identified 
himself as a warehouse worker and again refused to release the 
information.

Nathan Brown, ESB chairman, said this will not delay runoff 

voting, which begins today.

"This case has been dismissed, if new evidence came to light in 
the future, and another complaint filed, then we would strongly

Safety board 
investigating cause 
of local plane crash

By Kirk Watson
Daily Texan Staff

Details are beginning to surface in connection with a pnvate 
plane that crashed Friday afternoon at Austin-Bergstrom 
International Airport, taking the lives of two Oklahoma resi­
dents.

According to a statement released by the National 
Transportation Safety Board, the crash, which took the lives of 
Morris and Susan Curry, does not appear to be the result of 
equipment malfunction.

"Examination of the engine, propeller and ground impact 
scars are consistent with the engine operation the time of the 
accident," the release stated. "The airplane's flight control sys­
tem examination was completed, and no evidence of an 
in-flight failure was noted."

The preliminary report of the investigation will be released 

Friday.

What is known is that the single-engine Beecher aft plane 
approached the airport Friday afternoon under foggy condi­
tions.

The plane lined up to land but for reasons unknown, the

ACC board approves 
$10.5M bond package

By Esther Wang
Daily Texan Staff

The Austin Community College 
Board of Trustees voted Monday night 
to approve the sale of $10.5 million in 
bonds, despite the protests of faculty, 
staff, students and even some board 
members.

rvila Mav Moore, a board member, 
ex «ressed the opinion 
i sevt ui c her 
colleagues when she said t ie Y ard 
needed to have a better plan t f< re 
approving the sale of the bonds.

"We have not managed our moi ey 
well, and we're essentially asking ur 
students to cover a bad check," Mcore 
said of the bond package, which vill 
be paid with a $l-per-credit-b aur 
addition to the building fee.

ACC President Richard F mté 
defended the bond package, and said 
the $10.5 million w as needed to 
replenish the college's fund reserve, 
which was depleted to pay for the

2001 budget deficit and to purchase 
the planned South Austin campus.

"We felt it was absolutely essential 
we have a corrective plan, and the 
board made a decision to adopt the 
corrective plan," Fonté said.

Enough of the board agreed, and the 
bond package passed 5-3-1 with 
Moore, Allen Kaplan and Beverly 
Watts Davis voting no, and Barbara 
Mink abstaining.

Several faculty and student groups 
opposed the bond package and voiced 
their anger at the administration for 
igryring their concerns about the 
bu (get deficit and their ideas on how 
tofolve it.

The ACC/American Federation of 
Teachers Union went before the board 
and called for Fonté to resign, giving 
him a vote of no confidence.

Lab hopes to identify potential bioterrorism threats

"The C D C 's mission is prevention, and the 
arm- s mission is to do what w e need m ilitari­
ly. O u r mission w ill be research."

I he staff at U T M B will be widely used for 
the new lab, Peters said, though some new 
people will be brought in for the facility.

Chuck Fulhorst, an associate professor of 
pathology, said the new' laboratory will attract 
more top faculty to the university, as well as 
doctoral students interested in level 4 diseases.
"The laboratory w ill provide a ground to 
train level 4 [laboratory workers] and w ill'

increase our younger inventory, which is more 
consistent with the mission of a university — 
training," he said. "It w ill d efin itely be a mag­
net."

Fulhorst said he wants the laboratory to bet­
ter inform people of the threats of dangerous 
diseases worldwide and in Am erica.

"T h is is not something that o n ly exists in the 
Am azon," he said. "O u r grants right now are 
for N orth Amenca. There are things here that 
need to be attended to."

Despite different missions, Fulhorst said all 
of the BSL4 laboratories w ill w ork together 
toward a common goal — preventing new dis­
eases from getting into the co u n try and finding

vaccinations for those diseases in the event that 
they do.

" I don't see it as them and us," he said. " If 
we are really going to do this right, we are 
going to have to w ork together. Otherwise we 
are trying to reinvent the wheel in different 
labs."

Though U T M B w ill have the first full-size 
BSL4 lab at a university in the country, the 
U niversity of Georgia has a small facility 
known as a "glove box" BSL4. Additionally, 
there is another full-size BSL4 laboratory 
already in existence in Texas, located at the pri­
vate Southwest Foundation for Biom edical 
Research in San Antonio.

Texas Tech University, the U niversity of 
New Mexico and the University of California 
at D avis are reportedly looking to build their 
own BSL4 laboratories.

D avid Walker, professor and chairman of 
the U T M B Department of Pathology, said he is 
encouraged that other universities are consid­
ering building labs of their own.

"There is plenty of work to be done, and we 
are not trying to have a monopoly on the sci­
ence," he said. " I am not worried about them 
building too m any BSL4s, but I hope the places 
that do build them have the faculty to take care 
of them."

of bioterrorism after the Sept. 11 attacks and 
subsequent anthrax attacks, more scientists are 
getting involved in bioterrorism and the type 
of work U TM B w ill do in their BSL4. Since 
U T M B has been w orking on bioterrorism for 
four to five years, W alker said other universi­
ties and scientists w ill have to rely on U T M B to 
train people on level four diseases.

"People now understand this is a serious 
problem, and they are going to recognize w h y 
w hat we do is so im portant," he said.

leadership for A C C ," said A C C / A F T President 
M yra Bradley to the trustees. "The prim ary prob­
lem is not the budget. The prim ary problem is a 
president who says to you, 'Tell me what you want 

and I'll do it.' And then does it by sending the bills 
to students."

Dozens of faculty and staff members backed 
Bradley, sporting A C C / A F T pins and clapping 
loudly at her and others' statements.

Students were well-represented, w ith both the 
Student Governm ent Association and student pro­
testers present to show their solidarity.

More than 10 members of the A C C SG A present­
ed a unified front to the board and Fonté, com­
plaining about a lack of com m unication between 
students and A C C officials.

The student protesters, carrying signs against 
Fonté and board Chairwom an L illia n D avis, con­
curred. They had gone to a previous board meeting 
to protest the cutting of almost 300 classes and were 
prevented from speaking, said Scott Adkins, a mar­

keting freshman.

"T hey said anyone can speak, and then one of 
our people went up there and had a sign in his 
hand, and they said, 'O h, are you a student? You 
can't speak'," Adkins said. "That's how scared they 
are of us."

Despite the fact that both faculty and students 
are against increasing fees, A C C needs the money, 
board members said.

"T he bottom line is, w e're poor, and w e're trying 
to do a lot," M oore said. " I w ould defy any student 
who came hére today to get more for less."

plane did not execute the landing. 
Fhe last contact with the plane was 
at 4:45 p.m., when the pilot com­
m u n ic a te d that he had missed the
* runway.

Shortly thereafter, the N T SB 
says, the plane m ade a rapid 
descent and lost contact w ith the 
control tower.

Jackie Mayo, a spokeswoman 
for the Austin-Bergstrom Airport, 
said that their response team took 
action immediately at the time of 
the accident.

"Our airport police and staff 
responded to the crash as quickly 
as possible. The conditions were 
extremely foggy, and the site of the 
crash was a very dense area of for­
est," Mayo said. "It was a coordi­

nated inter-agency effort between

The coordinated effort, operat­
ing at optimum levels, was unable 
to save the occupants of the plane, 
who left behind a son, Kevin 
Curry, in Austin, and m any unan­
swered questions.

Jason Ragogna, an air investiga­
tor for the NTSB, said that they are 
eliminating different scenarios, but 
questions still remain.

"W e have ruled out a number of 
possibilities so far, such as an 
in-flight break up and a flight con­
trol malfunction," Ragogna said.

Ragogna said they are awaiting 
radar data from the Federal

Aviation Adm inistration to deter­

mine the air speed and altitude of 
the plane as it approached the air­
port.

"According to radar, the plane 
made an initial approach and was 
on target," Ragogna said. "The fact 
that it did not complete the land­
ing brings up questions surround­
ing the role of the limited visibility 
as a result of the foggy condi­
tions."

Ragogna said weather is an ele­
ment that is progressively becom­
ing more important as the investi­
gation continues.

"W e w ill definitely be evaluat­

consider it," Brown said. "A s far as we were con­
cerned, the board didn't feel the evidence before 
us conclusively proved Achieve engaged in 
deceptive campaign activity."

Brummett has filed a complaint w ith PPD , the 
police department in the T-shirt company's loca­
tion. The PPD is investigating Brummett's com­
plaint that an individual impersonated him and 
engaged in fraudulent tactics.

The complaint stems from past weeks' hear­
ings regarding financial disclosures. M ackowiak 
originally filed a complaint against the One tick­
et for failing to accurately disclose its expendi­
tures to the ESB. One was found guilty, but did 
not receive punishment.

The ESB originally found the One ticket not 
guilty, but the Judicial Commission overturned its 
ruling after the commission determined ESB's 
ruling was illegitimate because of an advisory 
opinion drafted by ESB chairman Nathan Brown.
Lauren Troxclair, finance manager for the 
Achieve ticket, said she believes One's complaint 
is invalidated by the amount of time One took to 
file the complaint.

 

 

" I think it's completely invalidated
given the time frame. This took too long 
to make this a valid claim," Troxclair 
said. "The election results had already 
been given; they knew where they 
stood, and they knew who their compe­
tition was."

Jordan Buckley, a two-year at-large 
representative for the One ticket, said he 
felt this event has harmed both the One 
ticket and the entire student body.

" I think it's disgusting that Student 
Government can't be run without the 
deceptive tactics employed by people 
trying to win, and I think it accounts for 
Ü T voter disenchantment with SG ," 
Buckley said.

 U.S. assault heats up; 9 Americans killed

By The Associated Press

SURMAD, Afghanistan — U.S. warplanes 
pounded al-Qaida and Taliban mountain 
strongholds Monday while coalition ground 
troops searched for pockets of enemy fighters in 
the rugged, snow-covered terrain. The heavily 
armed defenders responded with mortars, 
grenades and machine gun fire.

At least nine Americans have been killed in 
the offensive — code-named Operation 
Anaconda — including those killed Monday 
when two helicopters took enemy fire. The 
attack marked the first time U.S. conventional 
ground troops have been used in an offensive 
operation.

The code name Anaconda apparently was 
chosen because the giant South American snake 
of that name crushes its victims with the muscu­
lar coils of its body. The operation was said to be 
designed to cut off all means of escape for al- 
Qaida and Taliban holed up in the region.

Wave after wave of B-52s and other aircraft 
unleashed bombs for a fourth day to try to soft­
en enemy positions in the snow-capped peaks.

In Paris, the French Defense Ministry said 
French Mirage 2000 and Super-Etendard fight­
ers joined in launching air strikes, attacking al- 
Qaida targets near Gardez, about 75 miles south 
of Kabul, the capital.

"In one minute, I counted 15 bombs,"

Rehmahe Shah, a security guard at the intelli­
gence unit in the provincial capital Gardez, said 
Monday.

In the eastern Afghan town of Khost near the 
border, troops at the American-controlled air 
base called in ¿fir support early Monday after the 
base came under small arms fire, said Maj. Brad 
Lowell, another spokesman at the U.S. Central 
Command.

No one was injured and the firing stopped, 

he said.

The offensive, which includes about 2,000 
Afghans, Americans and special operations 
forces from six allied nations, is the largest 
U.S.-led ground operation of the five-month 
Afghan war.

In Tampa, Fla., Gen. Tommy Franks, com­
mander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said units 
of the 10th Mountain Division and the 101st 
Airborne Division had been inserted into the 
battle area.

Franks refused to say how many al-Qaida and 
Taliban were holed up in the extensive labyrinth 
of caves and ravines at the base of the moun­
tains.

However, Roseuddin, an Afghan civ ilian who 
was in the village of Shah-e-Kot shortly before 
the attacks began, estimated the al-Qaida and 
Taliban force at about 600, commanded by a for­
mer Taliban officer, Saif Rahman.

Roseuddin said the fighters had been storing 
provisions for months in anticipation of a 
bloody siege.

"They told people: 'If you want to leave or 
stay it is up to you. But we're staying in those 
caves because they were ours in the holy war 
against Russia/" Roseuddin quoted the fighters 
as saying in reference to the w ar against the 
Soviets in the 1980s.

Other Afghan civilians said as many as 2,(XX) 
Arabs, Chechens, Pakistanis and Afghan Taliban 
moved into the area after the fall of the Taliban 
stronghold of Kandahar on Dec. 7.

However, many of them had apparently 
slipped away, either to nearby Pakistan or other 
¿ireas of Afghanistan's mountainous east.

Neither the former Taliban supreme leader 
Mullah Mohammed Omar nor al-Qaida chief 
Osama bin Laden was believed to be in the area.
About 40 U.S. troops have been wounded 
since the operation began Friday night in the 
snow-covered mountains southwest of Gardez.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said 
half of the wounded were already back in the 
fight and the others were evacuated from the 
region.

Seven A m ericas died after a Chinook heli­
copter, a transport aircraft normally used to ferry 
special forces troops and supplies, was shot at 
and crash-landed Monday.

In a second incident, Rumsfeld said, one 
American was killed when a helicopter was 
fired on by a rocket-propelled grenade. He said 
the chopper made a hard landing and then man­
aged to take off again. The crewman who died 
apparently fell from the aircraft. A ninth U.S. sol­
dier was killed by mortar fire on Saturday.

In the nearby town of Khost, troops at the 
American-controlled air base called in air sup­
port earl\ Monday after the base came under 
small arms fire, said Maj. Brad Lowell, a 
spokesman at the U.S. Central Command. He 
said there were no U.S. casualties.

Franks described the ground operation as a 
series of short, often intense clashes with small 
numbers of fugitives fought in bitter cold at ele­
vations of 8,000 to 12,000 feet.

"We might find five enemy soldiers in one 
place and then perhaps some distance away 
from there we may find three and then some dis­
tance we may find 15 or 20," Franks said. He 
described the battle area as "a very, very tough 
operating environment for our soldiers to be in."
President Bush mourns the loss of any 
American life, White House spokesman Ari 
Fleischer told reporters Monday afternoon as 
Bush flew to Minneapolis. "The president has 
said to our country that we need to be prepared 
for casualties."

In Washington, Gen. Richard B. Myers, chair­

man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the lighters 
were wrell dug-in, well-fortified and with "lots 
of weapons."

The coalition force includes at least 1,000 
allied Afghan fighters and at least 1,000 U.S. 
troops as well as forces from Australia, Canada, 
Denmark, France, Germany and Norway, 
Franks said.

Pro-U.S. Afghan troops have tgken up block 
ing positions to the south and east to isolate the 
fighters and prevent them from escaping

Safi Ullah, a member of the ( .arde/ town 
council, said the first stage of the offensive was 
designed to cut the road from Shah-e-Kot to trap 
al-Qaida and Taliban forces in the mountains 
He said the plan also involved setting up ( heck- 
points in the aa>a to prevent them from getting 
out.

Pakistan has closed its border with eastern 
Afghanistan and deployed extra armv units and 
members of the Khasadar tribal militia to catch 
any who try to cross the frontier and filter into its 
Northwest Frontier Province, where many peo­
ple sympathize w ith the Taliban.

Afghan and Western officials estimate there 
are up to 5,(XX) al-Qaida fighters remaining in 
Afghanistan despite the collapse of Taliban rule.
Afghan officials said the fugitives an1 urging 
the faithful to resume a holy war against U.S. 
forces.

Israeli raids kill 16 Palestinians

Race at issue in 
Senate contest

By The Associated Press

CONCORD, N.H. — The Arab card has been thrown down on the table in 

the race for Senate in New Hampshire.

Rep. John E. Sununu has been the subject of accusations — some of them 
made anonymously, some of them made openly by his GOP rival's campaign 
— that the Arab-American congressman is anti-Israel and soft on terrorism.

The allegations could be just the start of a dirty, expensive and high-stakes 

campaign for the historically Republican Senate seat, now held bv Bob Smith

Smith, 62, and Sununu, 37, will face off in the Sept. 10 primary. The winner 
is expected to battle Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen in an election that could 
help decide control of the nearly tied Senate.

Smith has never been quoted referring to Sununu's ethnicity, but questions 
about terrorism and the congressman's Lebanese and Palestinian heritage 
surfaced last fall in a flurry of news reports.

Among them was a Neu> Republic story that identified Sununu as the only 
ethnic Palestinian in Congress and quoted an unidentified Smith adviser as 
saying of Sununu: "People are just beginning to focus on how pro-Arab he is% 
and how naive his positions are on the terrorism issue."

Smith spokeswoman Lisa Harrison said the senator's staff was never con-, 
tacted about the story and would never make an issue of a c a n d i d a t e - ethnic* 
background.

But Franklin Foer, associate editor of the magazine and author of the story, 
said he talked to the senator's staff and campaign repeatedly. In fact, Foer 
said, two people — a Smith staffer and a supporter — sent the magazine a fact- 
sheet titled "John E. Sununu: A Pattern of Support for Radical Anti-Israel 
*
Causes Funded by Radical Islamic Fundamentalists." 
Sununu spokeswoman Barbara Riley said the facts tell a different '-tor)'; 
about Sununu, whose father, John H. Sununu, was governor of New- 
Hampshire and White House chief of staff under George 11. W. Bush.

"Number one, any charge that Congressman Sununu's voting record on 
the Middle East is anti-Lsrael is baseless," she said. "He has consistently sup 
ported financial military assistance for Israel. Number two, John has strongly! 
supported President Bush's proposals to eliminate global terrorist orgam/a 
tions."

Sununu has voted for foreign aid packages that included about S3 billion to! 
boost Israel's military and economy, and opposed a measure that would have 
reduced aid.

But in 1999 he was one of six Republicans to vote against a measure oppos­
ing the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian free state, according to the 
Congressional Quarterly Almanac. And last year he was the only Republic an tú­
vote against a bill penalizing the Palestinian Authority if it declared itself an! 
independent state without Israel's consent.

Smith opposes unilateral moves by Palestine to declare itself an independ­

ent state.

The candidates differ on the use of classified evidence to deport suspected 

terrorists. Smith favors the measure; Sununu considers it unconstitutional.

Hated el Nemer, left, father of Bushra el Nemer, 37, and grandfather of her three children, reacts with sh ock at a hos­

on a residential street in the town, killing Bushra and the children. Her brother, right, declined to give his name.

armed Palestinian policemen and 
hit the truck by m istake. Israeli 
D efense M inister Binyam in Ben- 
Eliezer expressed "regret at the loss 
of life of Palestinian civilians."

Israel has killed dozens of suspect­
ed Palestinian militants in targeted 
attacks, but army spokesman Brig. 
Gen. Ron Kitrey said Abu Kweik was 
not a target.

Israeli troops also staged two new 

raids into refugee camps.

In the Jenin camp in the West Bank, 
six Palestinians were killed and 20 
wounded in fierce shootouts, witness­

es and hospital officials said.

Dr. Khalil Suleiman, who was over­
seeing rescue efforts from an ambu­
lance, was killed and three colleagues 
were wounded when the ambulance 
was hit by an Israeli tank shell, Red 
Crescent officials said. The driver said 
an oxygen canister exploded inside 
the vehicle.

The Israeli army said the ambu­
lance approached a checkpoint at 
high speed, and that soldiers used 
"light weapons fire," fearing the vehi­
cle was trying to run them down.

The army has said ambulances are

being used to smuggle weapons and 
gunmen; Palestinians say soldiers fire 
indiscriminately at rescue vehicles.

Troops exchanged fire with men in 
the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza on 
the border with Egypt, killing two 
armed Palestinians and a civilian, 
doctors said. The Israeli military said 
troops searched for tunnels used to 
smuggle arms under the border.

Also Monday, Israeli ttoops shot 
and killed a Palestinian man who ran 
toward an Israeli army checkpoint 
near the West Bank town of Nablus, 
the army said.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — Israel 
sent warplanes and tanks against 
Palestinian targets Monday, killing 
the wife and three children of a 
Hamas militant in what the military 
said w as a mistake. 
In all, 16 
Palestinians died in retaliatory raids.

The multiple strikes in the West 
Bank and the Gaza Strip followed a 
Cabinet decision Sunday to intensify 
military action after Israel was left 
reeling from Palestinian bombing and 
shooting attacks that killed 22 Israelis 
over the weekend.

After nightfall, Israeli F-16 war­
planes bombed Palestinian leader 
Yasser Arafat's headquarters com ­
pound in Bethlehem, Palestinian offi­
cials said. There were no reports of 
casualties. The building had been 
evacuated for days in expectation of 
an Israeli attack.

Witnesses said the warplanes set 
two security buildings on 
fire. 
Palestinian security official Ahmed 
Abdel Rahman 
the 
attack, calling it "dangerous escala­
tion."

condem ned 

The Israeli military said the attacks 
to murderous 

were a "response 
attacks of the past few days."

The past week has seen some of the 
worst violence in the 17 months of 
Mideast fighting, with repeated inter­
national efforts failing to end the 
bloodshed and each side claiming 
they had no choice but to hit back at 
the other.

In the deadliest episode, an Israeli 
tank shell fired from long distance 
slammed into a pickup truck, killing 
the wife of a Hamas militant and the 
couple's three children, 8, 14 and 17.

A second car, passing in the oppo­
site direction, was hit by shrapnel, 
killing two youngsters, ages 4 and 16.
The Israeli military said the tank 
shell was aimed at a car carrying

Sin taxes offer our 
state the opportuni­
ty to bolster sagging 
tax revenues with­
out penalizing peo­
ple's hard work.

Everyone knows 
Texas is king when
it comes to oil, cotton ... and strip joints. 
Texas is also king when it comes to beer 
and beer drinkin'. And, despite all 
attempts at regulation, a great many 
Texans still light up.

Some Texans are never going to stop 
sexing, boozing and smoking their way 
through life.

But instead of hangovers, health prob­
lems and sexual guilt, such sinful activity 
can actually produce something of value: 
tax revenues.

Over a dozen states across the nation, 
from the Aloha to the Empire, have decid­
ed to look at raising existing sin taxes and 
creating new ones.

Alcohol and cigarettes are the most 
common targets of existing sin taxes, but 
pornography offers some exciting possi­
bilities as well. States would do well to 
examine the possibility of taxing the sale 
of pom.

In addition to the fiscal benefits such sin 
taxes provide, those taxes could actually 
save lives — young lives.

A recent study by the Johns Hopkins 
School of Public Health shows that sin 
taxes measurably reduce teen use of alco­
hol and cigarettes.

Increasing sin taxes decreases the sup­
ply of the sin and thus reduces overall 
consumption of the sin.

A new Texas pom tax would work in 
much the same way — stemming the 
flow of hard-core pornography currently

being piped into children's computers.

A Texas pom tax would also generate a 

lot of cash.

The pom industry is huge.
Estimates from Adult Video News, peg 
the annual gross receipts of pornography- 
related businesses at $10 billion.

According to "Naked Capitalists," by 
New York Times Magazine senior reporter 
Frank Rich, the U.S. pom industry is esti­
mated to total between $10 billion and $14 
billion annually when video sales and 
rentals are combined with revenue from 
pom networks and pay-per-view movies 
on cable and satellite, Web sites, in-room 
hotel movies, phone sex, sex toys and 
magazines.

All told, that's a lot of sweaty $1 bills — 
enough, in fact to run the state of Texas for 
an entire year.

Ovum, a converging-technology con­
sultant group, predicts that one particular 
pom outlet, video-on-demand, will grow 
rapidly.

Pom-on-demand, and other related 
streaming media services, will, according 
to Ovum, mushroom into a $13 billion 
industry by 2007. If their figures are 
remotely accurate, the overall U.S. pom 
industry would weigh in at a collosal $16 
billion to $20 billion within five years.

Who is currently sowing their seed in 
the young video-on-demand industry? 
AOL-Time Warner and AT&T — both 
blue chippers now offer extensive selec­
tions of pom-on-demand to their digital 
cable subscribers. Both companies can 
expect to reap massive profits if Ovum's 
revenue projections are accurate.

Texas can and should reap massive 
profits as well. Our state already has two 
sin taxes on the books, one on alcoholic 
beverages, and another on cigarette and 
tobacco products — the taxes are broken 
down into several categories such as ciga­
rettes, smokeless tobacco, etc...

Next session, our state lawmakers can 
get ahead of the public financing curve by 
proposing and enacting a tax on the gross 
receipts of pom businesses.

Based upon figures for the pom indus­
try given above, Texas could expect to

generate at least $200 million annually 
from a properly administered pom tax.

the 

Administration of 

tax would 
include the licensing and registration of all 
purveyors of pom. The tax would then be 
collected by the comptroller, who could 
use existing cigarette, alcohol and sales tax 
apparatus in the collection of the new 
pom tax.

Texas lawmakers should also double 
the alcohol and tobacco taxes. Doing so 
would w.ould generate an extra $1.2 bil­
lion annually, and reduce demand for the 
products, especially among younger 
users.

E)espite what the alcohol and tobacco 
lobbies may tell you, their respective 
industries would be able to withstand 
such a tax increase, and subsequent 
demand-reduction.

Their ability to withstand the increase is 
clear when one compares the relatively 
low sin-tax rates in Texas with those of 
states such as New York.

Taxes on alcohol in Texas are low. The 
state levies $6 per barrel of beer, and 
approximately 20 cents per gallon of 
liquor. Cigarette taxes are slightly higher, 
at approximately 41 cents per pack.

By comparison, in the state Of New 
York, cigarette taxes were recently raised 
to $1.50 per pack.

Ten states, including Alaska, Hawaii, 
Missouri and Nebraska are considering 
increases 
in their various sin taxes. 
Washington and North Carolina lawmak­
ers boosted their alcohol taxes in 2001.

These states were and are facing mas­
sive budget shortfalls, much like the one 
projected by the comptroller here in Texas. 
For the next two-year budget cycle, 
Comptroller Carole Keeton Rylander has 
warned of a $5 billion shortfall in state rev­
enues.

By enacting a pom tax, and increasing 
our existing sin taxes, our state lawmakers 
could take an immediate $2.6 billion 
swipe out of the shortfall.

Opponents will dte free speech con­
cerns regarding the pom tax. Civil liber­
tarians may deride increased reliance on 
sin taxes as a Victorian policy, raising and

Alcohol and 
cigarettes are the 
most common 
targets o f existing 
sin taxes, but 
pornography offers 
some exciting 
possibilities as well. 
States would do 
well to exam ine 
the possibility 
o f taxing the sale 
o f pom .

dismissing the ghosts of temperance 
unions and prohibition.

Sin taxes, and a pom tax, however, 
allow the state to move away from its cur­
rent tax policy. In the future, waste, not 
work, should be taxed.

We'll tax Larry Flynt, not John Q. Public. 
We'll tax straying husbands, instead of 
working mothers. We'll tax boozers, 
instead of farmers — smokers instead of 
workers.

The taxman will always come calling. In 
the United States, however, we have the 
fortune of choosing how we pay him. We 
have an opportunity to base our tax policy 
on a sound philosophical foundation — 
one rooted in morality and common 
sense.

THE FIRIN G LINE

I really enjoyed reading Ms. Chu's 
piece (A college welcome fo r Laura Bush, 
March 1) about the liberal bias that 
today threatens to stamp out free speech 
at most institutions of higher education. 
I graduated from Texas A&M in May 
2001 and my speakér was Barbara Bush. 
Say what you want, her speach was 
inspiring to myself and many people I 
graduated with. Though I do not agree 
with Hillary Clinton's politics, if she 
had been asked to speak at our school, I 
am sure she would have done an excel­
lent job as well. I expect our institutions 
of higher education to be a median for 
the free exchange of ideas. It seems like 
these days though if you aren't on the 
left side of the fence you don't have a 
fighting chance to even express your 
opinion on a university campus. One 
example is the papers that were stolen 
from the College Republicans at UC 
Berkeley. My question is, what are the 
individuals who choose to stop this 
exchange of inform ation afraid of? 
W hether you agree with a belief or not, 
if those rights are taken away from 
someone else, you can bet it wcyVt be 
long before they are taken away from 
you also. Thank you, Ms. Chu.

John A. 

Jackson gives 

the 
University another $150 million. Last 
summer he gave $25 million, before that 
$15 million. The Texan reports the gift 
could reach as much as $300 million by 
Jackson's death, and the We're Texas 
fund-raising campaign has well over the 
$1 billion goal almost two years ahead 
of schedule.

Yet Faulkner and the UT administration 
has found it necessary to raise student 
tuition fees. Can someone please give me a 
logical explanation for this?

Why am I and my fellow students 
continuing to pay more and more for 
our education while the coffers of the 
University are full beyond even the 
adm inistration's expectations?

Mr. Faulkner, though I'm beginning 
to have my doubts, I was under the 
impression your responsibility was to 
the well-being of the student body, and 
I dare say we would fare better if we 
were not scratching for every last penny.
Therefore, on behalf of the student body, 
I would like to ask for our money back. I 
don't think Mr. Jackson would mind.

Down with apathy

Daniel Portnoy's applause to the stu­
dent body for their apathy (Not an SG 
fan, March 1) is both justified, and mis­
guided. It's justified because in some 
ways, SG elections do become a popular­
ity contest. It is nearly impossible for any 
candidate to get elected on ideas alone. 
Unfortunately, the social networks, and 
visiblity, of candidates play a huge role 
to get elected. I 
in their potential 
empathize with the apathy and criti­
cisms most people have toward Student 
Government.

Daniel, your applause and subscrip­
tion to this apathy is, however, very mis­
guided for several reasons.

First, it is foolish of you to put all SG 
candidates in a box. I ran for office, as 
did plenty of candidates, for the right 
reasons. There were lots of student lead­
ers on the ballot this year who weren't 
trying to pad their resumes, but to 
empower students like you and make 
certain "the SG is actually good for 
something." If you would stop stereo­
typing candidates and listen to their 
ideas you might actually find out which

Rock the vote

As disenchantment with Student 
Government runs high it is worthwhile to 
note the history of student-administration 
relations at our University.

In 1973, an SG ticket was formed with the 
express 
intent of dissolving Student 
Government once elected. They got elected, 
disbanded SG and left the door open to one 
of the largest rollbacks on student rights by 
former UT President Frank Erwin. Students 
had no "legitimate" outlet to voice concerns 
to administration, and the next eight years 
were spent fighting to get SG back.

Now that it is ours once again, we should 
dutifully exercise our right to vote and help 
to direct the future of student governance at 
our school. It sure beats letting Faulkner 
decide everything for us.

Defending the plaques

In response to Mr. Malsbary (Peeved by 
Plaques, March 4), I would like to state that 
it is common knowledge that our govern­
ment and its constitution were founded on 
the belief of God and his will for our coun­

try. The Supreme Court has upheld this, 
stating that "this country is a religious 
nation" in the Church of the Holy Trinity v. 
United States case in 1982. The court also 
claimed that "religion has been closely 
identified with our history and govern­
ment" in the 1963 Abington v. Schempp 
case. In no way does displaying the motto 
violate the Constitution, especially the 
Establishment Qause. By displaying "In 
God We Trust," we are more defining the 
character and the foundation of this coun­
try, as well as acknowledging its history. 
The Establishment Q ause prohibits the 
establishment of a religion. It does not deny 
the fact that one won't be exposed to reli­
gious symbols on public property. Even the 
Supreme Court today will not deny our 
heritage and history.

So, sir, I offer a suggestion. Pilgrims came 
to this country seeking religious freedom 
and the ability to worship God freely in the 
way they felt necessary. If you feel sup­
pressed by the truth of the foundations of 
this country, then I'm sure that some will be 
willing to go with you and seek a nation 
that you can build a foundation on whatev­
er belief you choose. And a belief that there 
is not a god is just as much a religion as the 
belief in a God.

Geological unity

The article concerning 

the historic 
Jackson bequest to the Jackson School of 
Geosdences gave the impression that Mr. 
Jackson will leave all his money to the 
Department of Geological Sciences. Mr. 
Jackson is one of those rare individuals that 
actually listens to what is being said. He 
spent 20 years on the advisory board of the 
Geology Foundation and heard that while 
the University of Texas at Austin has three 
world-renowned geoscience entities, they 
rarely interact. Part of the problem is geo­
graphical isolation with the department on 
campus, the Bureau of Economic Geology 
located at the Pickle Research Campus and 
the Institute for Geophysics located in 
leased off-campus space at Mesa and 
Spice wood Springs. His planned bequest 
lays out a definitive plan to get all three 
groups working together under the banner 
of the new Jackson School of Geosciences 
and to have all three engaged in teaching, 
research and mentoring with students, both 
graduate and undergraduate. Let us hope 
that the bureau, UTIG, and the department 
can respond to the Jackson's vision for the 
future of geosciences at the University.

UT program honors migrant high school students

By Shannon Owens
Daily Texan Staff

The L I I /¡stance Education Center honored 
high school students who com pleted 
the 
requirem ents of the U niversity's M igrant 
Student Program at the Frank Erwin Center
Monday.

The University developed 

the M igrant 
Student Program in 1987 to improve education 
for high school students of migrant families. 
Since its creation, more than 6,000 students have 
enrolled in the program.

I lector O rti/, administrator of the program, 
s ,d that if a migrant student finishes the 
required coursew ork in three years, the state 
aw ards them with a $1,000 stipend to use at any

college or university.

"The program is for high school stcfdents and 
we give them the opportunity to earn class cred­
it outside of the traditional classroom ," Ortiz 
said. "We create these courses to meet the spe­
cific needs of migrant students."

Since migrant students travel throughout the 
country' to harvest crops, they must leave their 
Texas schools in the spring before the academic 
year ends. They do not return until school has 
already started in the fall. The constant traveling 
interrupts their educational expenence and 
makes it difficult for high school students to 
graduate.

Orti/ said the courses include different activ­
ities and assignm ents that help the students,

who may not speak English as a first language, 
grasp the core concepts.

"We offer extra vocabulary skill exercises, 
introductions to the assignments to explain the 
objectives, and we try to provide them with 
exercises that are more explicit, which include 
graphics," Ortiz said.

The program offers learning courses through 
the Distance Education Center. Although pro­
grams are offered through the Internet, many of 
the families do not have access to the equip­
ment.

"Most of the families are in the low socioeco­
nomic status," Ortiz said. "Right now, when 
they travel they don't go to nice places. They're 
lucky if they have a phone line hooked to the

[place] they're staying at."

The program partnered with Microsoft 
two years ago and bought 60 laptops. In 
addition, the courses are now on a CD ROM, 
and students can complete 90 percent of 
their work without a phone line, added 
Ortiz.

But the students must sacrifice aspects of the 
"normal" high school experience to get their 
diplomas.

"I miss out on being able to join clubs and 
other senior events," said Maricela Hernandez, 
one of the two winners of the Migrant Student 
of the Year Award.

Hernandez's family migrates to Decatur, 
Mich., every year to harvest crops and plant cel­

ery. She is a senior at McAllen Memorial High 
School.

Hernandez and a few other students pointed 
out the positive aspects of being a migrant student.
"It's hard work, but you realize that you 
don't want to do that work," said Eduardo 
Olvera, Migrant Student of the Year. "It moti­
vates you."

Olvera's family migrates to Dixon, Calif., and 
their work includes harvesting crops, hoeing 
tomatoes, and irrigating and cleaning fields.

The ceremony filled attendee and parent 

Melinda Chapa with pride.

"There's a lot more to expect from migrant 
students, and this is a pat on the back for them," 
she said.

Board votes to raise 
tuition for pharmacy, 
law graduate students

By Katherine Pace
Daily Texan Staff

The UT System Board of 
Regents approved tuition increas­
es for graduate law and pharm acy 
students last month.

Francie Frederick, counsel and 
secretary of the regents, said the 
board approved an increase to $88 
from $63 per sem ester hour for 
resident pharm acy students and 
to $160 from $80 for resident law 
students per sem ester hour. The 
increase will be im plem ented dur­
ing the 2002-2003 academ ic year.

The raise in tuition follow s the 
state Legislature's enactm ent of 
Senate Bill 1814 that gives the 
regents pow er to approve tuition 
in creases at all Texas law and 
ph arm acy sch ools by no more 
than three times the am ount of 
statutory tuition, which is $42 per 
sem ester hour.

The Legislature didn 't p ass Sen. 
Eliot S h ap leigh 's, D -El Paso, 
am endm ent to the bill to reserve 
up to 40 percent of the generated 
revenues for financial aid.

"The tuition increase flies in the 
face of increasing higher educa­
tion p articip atio n ," 
Sh apleigh 
said. "Texas needs to lower the 
cost of college, not raise it. UT has 
a history of putting money in sta­
dium s, not students."

Joe Dyer, education policy 
b u d g e t an alyst for the Senate 
Finance C om m ittee, 
the 
Legislatu re p assed the bill last 
M ay in response to concern about 
m aintaining the schools' com peti­
tiveness.

said 

gen erated w ill 

Juan Zabala, executive director 
for the Law School Foundation, 
said as much as 25 percent of the 
be 
revenue 
reserved for n eed-based scholar­
sh ip s and the rest will go toward 
ad din g new faculty and raising 
faculty salaries to keep the law 
school competitive.

Steven Leslie, d ean of 

the 
C o llege of Pharm acy, said the 
m oney will go tow ard recruiting, 
sch olarsh ip s and faculty salary 
increases.

Leslie said pharm acy students

participated in the decision, but 
som e studen ts felt officials left 
them out of the process.

"We initiated d iscu ssion s with 
our students at the very beginning 
when w e understood that this leg­
islation w as bein g 
in itiated ," 
Leslie said.

Leslie said the studen ts under­
stood the need for increased rev­
enue.

"O ur students did not particu­
larly like the idea, but they under­
stand the need for this increase," 
Leslie said. "It's essential in order 
to have a degree that w ill carry the 
national recognition an d reputa­
tion that it has alw ays h ad ."

But Eric Opiela, president of UT 
G rad u ate S tud en ts A ssociatio n 
and a student at the UT School of 
Law, said he w as concerned with 
the lack of student representation 
in the process.

"N o student input w as solicited 
until after the bill h ad already 
p assed [the L egislature]," O piela 
said. "These tuitions and fees are 
so easy to increase. They're free 
money to the adm inistration."

Z abala said William Powers Jr., 
the law school dean, m et with stu ­
dent representatives from the law 
school.

"M ost students understood the 
need for additional faculty, which 
is the driving factor behind this," 
Z ab ala said. "I think with the 
announcem ent that 25 [percent] to 
30 percent of the tuition will be 
used for n eed-based scholarships, 
m ost students were in agreem ent 
with the decision."

O piela said the increased fees 
will negatively im pact the school 
because it decreases its com peti­
tiveness for recruiting students.

"W hen som e of our peer institu­
tions are cheaper than us, w e're 
obviously going to lose people to 
them ," O piela said.

Christopher Olsen, president of 
the Pharmacy G raduate Students 
A ssociation, said the fee will also 
negatively affect pharm acy stu ­
dents.

"For a lot of people it will m ean 
more loans and more debt at the 
end of school," Olsen said.

Health care, jobs top voter concerns

By Nicola Upman
Daily Texan Staff

Health care and jobs are the two issues that 
most concern Texan voters, according to a sur­
vey commissioned by the Texas Association of 
Business and Chambers of Commerce.

The statewide poll released Monday 
showed that 26 percent of respondents rank 
health care as the most important issue facing 
their family on a daily basis. The same percent 
of people identified jobs and economy as most 
important. Education, taxes, crime and traffic 
followed in order of importance.

"Typically, health is one of the top four or 
five issues that voters identify," said Mike 
Base lice, president of Baselice and Associates, 
which conducted the survey. "However, to see

it up there at the top, with the economy the 
way it is at this time is something we haven't 
seen in the past."

The poll, which surveyed 800 voters and has 
a 3.5 percent margin of erroi; is useful for poli­
cy makers in identifying the concerns of the 
electorate, he said.

"It shows that the health-care issue is an 
important one for the Legislature to be 
addressing in the next session," he said. "The 
voters of Texas feel that something must be 
done to help lower — or to keep from rising — 
the cost of health care."

Bill Hammond, TABCC president, said that 
the results of the survey reflect what many 
employers have been saying about the cost of 
health insurance.

"Unfortunately, we have a high percentage 
of workers who are uninsured and the reason 
for this is that employers cannot afford the cost 
of health insurance," he said. "The next step is 
for all the providers — the doctors, the insur­
ance companies and the pharmaceutical com­
panies — to work together to tell the 
Legislature how to reduce the cost of health­
care insurance."

The types of priorities that voters listed are 
not surprising given the non-crisis political 
environment, said Bruce Buchanan, a UT gov­
ernment professor.

"In the context of a modest economic slow­
down, jobs are threatened and since health care 
goes with jobs, it makes sense that these are top 
priorities," he said.

However, among UT students, it seems 
other issues rank higher than health and jobs, 
including U.S. foreign policy.

"I think the most important thing as we 
move towards a global culture is how we treat 
the rest of the world and how we expect to be 
treated in return," said Curtis Ludani, an 
RTF /Plan II junior.

Not surprisingly, education — and especial- 
ly the cost of education — also featured high 
on the list of student priorities.

"I would like to see more student involve­
ment in decision making" said Sean Austin, a 
government junior. "Even with all the money 
they're raising we still get stuck with the fee 
increase. They say they're taking our views 
into account, but I don't feel that they are."

Task force to make public 
safety recommendations

Local organizations 
present findings on crime

By Chrissy Ragan
Daily Texan S taff

A group created to advise the Austin City Council 
on all local public safety m atters conducted its first 
m eeting Monday.

The Public Safety Task Force, chaired by cou ncil­
man Danny Thom as, inclu d es 21 officials represent­
ing Austin, Travis County, the Texas D epartm ent of 
H ealth and several civil liberty groups.

The task force, w hich w ill make policy recom m en­
im prove public safety, 
in response to recent events, said Linda 

dations to the council to 
formed 
Dailey, executive assistant to Thomas.

"Sept. 11 highlighted the em phasis of the need to 
take a look at public safety more closely," D ailey 
said. "It spurred a m ore im m ediate look at how w e're 
providing it."

The introductory m eeting included a presentation 
about the C om m unity A ction Network, a p artnership 
in Travis 
of 14 public and private organizations 
County concerned with social services.

The presentation contained an overview and 
updates of the information CAN gathered in its 2000 
report about violence, crime and victimization.

"W e w ant to show that w e can be used as a tool to 
draw public policy from ," said Susana D uarte, a 
crim inal justice urban planner with the C apital Area 
Planning Council. D uarte presented C A N 's findings

to the task force.

The m ission of CAN is to b rin g together m ajor 
com m unity organizations so they can interact and 
look at h ealth and human serv ices, produce d ocu ­
m entation on w hat is happening and make recom ­
m endations to the com m unity for dealing with it, 
said Fred Butler, executive d irector o f CAN.

Action h as already been taken on four of the seven 
recom m endations made in last y e a r 's CAN report, 
Butler said.

C om m ittees have formed in response to recom ­
m en d atio n s u rgin g the city to provide p o sitiv e 
a fter-sch o o l activities for youth and to better prepare 
incarcerated adults for release into the community.

Butler ad d ed that not all change has been positive.
"T h e ind ex crim e rate, w hich in clu d es violent and 
serious property crimes, has increased 12 percent in 
the year 2 0 0 1 ," B utler said.

B utler said the crim e rate "sp ik ed sharply" in the 
w eeks im m ed iately after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"W e have a lot o f people w ho are in a much d iffer­
ent situation now ," Butler said. "W e see an increase 
in crim e rate because people d o n 't know how to deal 
with that. O u r m ost im portant co n cern is how we sta ­
bilize the com m unity as w e lo o k at the negative 
change in econom y and Sept. 11 im p act."

A lthough CAN will not be a p art of every task 
force m eeting, D ailey said they w ill serve a purpose.
"They w ill serve as a resource and [the task force] 

w ill u tilize som e o f their w ork d o n e ," Dailey said.

Public Safety Task Force m eetin gs, which are open 
to the p u blic, take place the first M onday of each 
m onth and air live on cable C h an n el 6.

Ontiveros back in the swing of things

Senior first basem an 
know n fo r intensity

By Jeff Sturdevant
Daily Texan Staff

H e's an im posing figure on D isch -F alk Field. His 
6-foot, 229-pound fram e is m ore th an enough to 
intim id ate the bu rliest of ballp layers, and his sw ing 
does m ore th an back up his m enacin g demeanor.

But often, his in ten sity causes m any fans to d is­
like senior Jeff O ntiveros. They view him as the 
bully, but that d o esn 't seem to bo th er him . It's a 
role he has becom e used to d ealing w ith, even if he 
feels it is in accu rate.

"T h e re's a lot of fans out there that hate me, and 
I und erstand th a t," O ntiveros said. "I like to play 
the gam e the w ay it's supposed to be played — 
going out h ard co re."

O n tiveros feels it's that hardcore natu re in which 
he plays the gam e that confuses fans about his

nature. He is a vocal leader on the field, and he is 
w illing to stick up for his team m ates or argue calls 
he feels clearly w ent the w rong way.

In the end, though, O ntiveros know s that he can 't 
please everyone. He can only play the gam e the 
w ay he best know s how.

"So m etim es it can be frustrating, bu t you 've got 
to let it go," O n tiveros said. "I try n ot to w orry 
about the fan s."

The senior has becom e an icon at first base dur­
ing his four years at Texas, as he has started at that 
p osition for the last three seasons.

He is also poised to leave a lasting m ark on the 
record books after this season. He is only six home 
runs shy of breaking the all-tim e career hom e run 
record at Texas.
record 

to Brooks 
K ieschnick, w ho hit 43 hom e runs w hile at Texas 
from 1991-93.

cu rren tly b elo n g s 

T he 

O ntiveros is also one of only 25 players to have 
hit a hom e run over the 20-foot-h igh center-field 
w all at D isch-Falk Field since the p ark 's opening in

February 1975.

The first basem an h it 14 home runs in his fresh ­
m an cam paign, and equaled that num ber his so p h ­
om ore year before dropping to seven h o m e runs 
last season.

The Texas career hom e run record sh ould fall 
soon, though, as O n tiveros seem s to h av e cau ght 
fire lately.

He has hit three hom e runs in the last seven 
gam es, while batting .476 during that span after 
gettin g off to a slow start this season. He attrib u tes 
the early season slum p to a tim ing problem he has 
since ironed out.

O ntiveros was part o f the 2000 Texas team that

Longhorns face 
Kansas for second
time in seven days

By Jonathan Green
Daily Texan Staff

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas head coach Marian Washington 
said no coach ever wants to play the same team in consecutive 
games.

"Count m e in that group," Texas head coach Jody Conradt said.
But these two coaches must deal with seeing each other for the 
second time in eight days, as Texas and Kansas square off again 
today in the first round of the Big 12 tournament at 2:30 p.m. in 
Municipal Auditorium.

"When you get to conference play, everyone knows everything 
about your strengths and weaknesses. And a week's time is not 
enough to forget anything," Conradt said. "1 can't think of any sce­
nario where you feel comfortable. If you win handily, then you 
worry about your team thinking [winning] is going to happen 
again automatically And if it's close, then you're in for a battle. 
Every situation is one you would like to avoid."

No. 13 Texas (19-8,10-6 Big 12) defeated Kansas (5-24, 0-16) last 

Tuesday, 61-46, at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan.

That game made Texas the No. 5 seed for the conference tourna­
ment. Kansas, the only team to ever finish winless in the Big 12, is 
the No. 12 seed.

"Every tim e anything is written, they've got that phrase 
attached: 'only team that hasn't won a conference game,"' Conradt 
said. "I'm sure they're sick of seeing that and want that to go away. 
And it just takes one win for that to go away."

The Jayhawks' last victory came on Dec. 29, when they defeated 

St. Morgan's 88-59.

"That's w hat makes this team scary — they have nothing to 
lose," Texas forward Stacy Stephens said. "I'm definitely going to 
take this team seriously, and I expect them to do things that nor­
mally they wouldn't be able to do."

Washington called Stephens "a huge factor" for the Longhorns. 
Against Kansas, Stephens had game highs in points (16) and 
rebounds (10), despite playing just four first-half minutes.

Conradt said Stephens has had difficulty all season with staying 

out of foul trouble.

"It just seem s invariably we get a call early, she gets in foul trou­
ble, she sits, we try to survive the first half and then we are a dif­
ferent team when she comes back on the floor," Conradt said. "I 
would really like to avoid that."

When she picked up the two quick fouls, Texas lost not only her 

scoring and rebounding ability, but also her defense.

With Stephens on the bench, Kansas' 6-foot 6-inch center, Kristin 
Geoffroy, scored eight of her nine points. But the Jayhawks strug­
gled in the paint when Stephens came back.

"In the second half, it was really tough for us, not just to contain 

her, but to find ourselves getting open," Washington said.

Stephens said she experts Kansas to go after her and try to get 

her in foul trouble again.

"That just means that 1 have to be smart and not do anything stu­

pid too early in the game," Stephens said.

If she gets in foul trouble, a bench that has become thinner at the 
post position may affect the Horns. Tracy Cook sprained her right

Sooners aim for No.l seed in NCAA tournament

By Darren W. Dummtt
Daily Texan Staff

When the Big 12 women's tournam ent tips off 
today, it's anybody's guess who will be cutting down 
the nets in Kansas City, Mo., when it's all said and 
done.

With seven teams ranked in the national top 20, this 
year's conference tournament prom ises to be the 
most com petitive in the five-year history of the Big 
12.

Heading the list of nationally ranked Big 12 pro­
grams is Oklahoma, who enters the tournament as 
the top seed and the decided favorite.

The Sooners, led by 2002 Big 12 Player of the Year 
Stacy Dales, coasted through a tough Big 12 regular 
season with just two losses in 16 gam es. Their No. 4 
national ranking has the Sooners thinking about a 
No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

"I do know that if we go to Kansas City and take 
care of our business, then w e'll be a No. 1 seed," 
Oklahoma head coach Sherri C oale said. "But what­
ever you expect is probably not w hat is going to hap­
pen."

After finishing dead last in the Big 12 last year, 
nobody expected Kansas State to be ranked No. 12 in

the nation at regular season's end. However, the sur­
p risin g play of three freshmen and one sophomore 
h as the inexperienced W ildcats resting on the laurels 
° f their No. 4 seed. Along with Oklahoma, Baylor and 
C olorado, the Wildcats earned a bye during the first 

round of play.

K ansas State head coach Deb Patterson was recent­
ly nam ed Big 12 Coach of the Year for her team 's tum - 

a round.

"I think when you succeed in this league, it gam ers 
a certain amount of respect. And I appreciate that a 
g reat deal," Patterson said.

W hat Patterson might not appreciate so much is 
h er second-round opponent. With Texas playing the 
h a p le ss Kansas Jayhaw ks 
the quarterfinals 
Tuesday, a likely second-round matchup against the 
N o. 1 4 team in the nation is quite an obstacle.

The Longorns are one o f three nationally ranked

Women’s golf team in 
fifth place

The first round of the Spartan 
Invitational for the Texas women's 
golf team seemed to be one of much 
significance. The No. 5-ranked 
women's team is in fifth place after 
four Texas team members shot three- 
over-par after the first day of compe­
tition.

Texas is 11 shots behind first- 
round leader California. Pepperdine, 
Oklahoma State and New Mexico 
State round out the top four.

The four Longhorns that shot 
three-over-par were seniors Kristin 
Dufour and Randi Meadows, sopho­
more Janice Olivencia and freshman 
Lisa Ferrero.

All stand in a tie for 21st place. 
Junior Jessica Reese rounded out the 
Texas scores with a seven-over-par 
79 and is tied for 52nd.

Texas still has two more rounds to 
play, with 18 holes on both Tuesday 
and Wednesday.

Nets’ Martin suspended

NEW YORK — Kenyon Martin of

Monday after being called for his 
sixth flagrant foul of the season.

Six fouls mean an automatic one-

Martin said he reacted to two hard 
elbows from Curry that came after 
four emphatic slam dunks by the 
New Jersey forward in the third 
quarter.

"I got elbowed twice, and no one 
saw that," said Martin, who also got 
a technical foul later in the game. 
"What was I supposed to do? I said 
something to the officials the first 
time it happened. But nothing hap­
pened."

Martin, the No. 1 overall pick in 
the NBA draft a year ago, has been 
suspended twice for a total of three 
gam es this season.

Golfer among 
nation’s top 50

By Adam Zuvanich
Daily Texan Staff

Junior J.J. Wall has quietly made a name for himself in the 

world of college golf.

Wall, an engineering route to business major, has only one 
top-10 finish in more than two seasons at Texas, but his consis­
tent and steadily improving play has helped the Longhorns 
obtain a top 10 national ranking. And while he has yet to reach 
the top of the leaderboard in 27 career tournaments, Wall was 
recently tabbed as one of the top 50 college golfers in the coun- 
try.

"I haven't had a real breakthrough tournament yet in col­
lege," Wall said. "I've been really consistent, and I'm pretty 
confident that something good is coming. I haven't played as 
well as I know I can."

Wall hasn't had a breakthrough tournament, but he seem s to 
be having a breakthrough season. He notched his first top-10 
finish last October at the Red River Classic, and through two 
tournaments so far this spring, Wall has been Texas' most con­
sistent player, posting top-20 finishes at the Mercedes-Benz 
Collegiate Cham pionship and the Puerto Rico Classic.

"I've had a much better year this year than in the past," Wall 
said. "N ow that I'm an upperclassman, I guess expectations get 
a little higher from other people and myself. It's just time to 
step it up."

Throughout his career, even before arriving at the 40 Acres, 
Wall proved he could perform when it mattered most. He led 
his San Antonio Churchill High School team to consecutive 5A 
state titles in 1997 and 1998. And last summer, Wall became San 
Antonio's first golfer to win the city's championship in both the 
m en's and junior categories. He won the junior title as a high 
school junior.

"J.J. is a winner," Texas head coach John Fields said. "H e's 
won at the high school level and in junior golf. He definitely

Saints’ Williams could 
be traded to Dolphins

By The Associated Press

IND IA N APO LIS — The Miami D olphins 
m ade an offer M onday to trade for Ricky 
Williams, the former Heisman Trophy winner 
for whom the New Orleans Saints gave up their 
entire 1999 draft. Rick Spielman, the Dolphins' 
director of player personnel, said he hoped 
something could be worked out by the end of 
the week.

"We tried to come up with some things that 
are reasonable to both clubs," Spielm an said 
after talking for several hours with Saints gen­
eral m anager Randy Mueller at the N FL's scout­
ing combine Monday. "If it's good enough, 
m aybe it will work. If not, it won't."

The Saints, who used their No. 1 draft pick 
last season to pick Deuce McAllister, have been 
trying since the end of the season to trade 
Williams, whose on-field performance has been 
good but whose off-field behavior has som e­
times been eccentric. Last week, he w as stopped 
for speeding — police said he was going 126 
mph.

Williams has rushed for 3,129 yards in his first

three NFL seasons, although he has been both­
ered by injuries in all of them. In his rookie sea­
son, he had 884 yards while playing on a 
sprained ankle. Then, he broke an ankle after 
gaining exactly 1,000 yards in 10 gam es in 2000.

Last season, he ran for 1,245 yards.
But the Saints, who want to recoup at least 
some of the picks surrendered for Williams by 
ex-coach Mike Ditka, are w illing to deal him 
because they have McAllister.

Coach Jim Haslett, who succeeded Ditka in 
2000, also w as unhappy when Williams skipped 
voluntary workouts during the last off-season 
and said he had been diagnosed with social anx­
iety disorder.

The Dolphins, who ranked 23rd in rushing 
last season, had offered first- and third-round 
picks for Williams, but want a second-round 
pick to give them at least one choice in the first 
three rounds. New Orleans balked at that.

In another development, Spielm an said the 
Dolphins were bringing in free agent center 
Olin Kreutz for a workout. Kreutz, who has 
played his entire career with Chicago, is one of 
the more desirable free agents on the market.

can get the job done."

Wall had an immediate impact on Fields' program when he 
came to Texas in 1999. A s a freshman, he posted three top-20 
finishes in 11 events, including a 20th-place showing at the 
NCAA Championships. Wall lists his first-round 65 at that 
toumey as one of the highlights of his career.

"That was like a dream," Wall said. "It was awesom e play­
ing the best round of golf in my life in the first round of the 
NCAA tournament. You can't ask for much more than that."

In his sophomore season last year, Wall notched four top-20 
outings in 11 tournaments, and had the fourth-best scoring 
average on the team for the second straight year.

Wall's experience, especially in big tournaments, makes him

one of Texas' better weapons. He has spent most of his colle­
giate career under the w ings of standout seniors John Klauk 
and Matt Brost and current PGA Tour pro David Gossett, 
which Wall said has been invaluable to his game.

"I didn't even expect to play when I got here my freshman 
year," Wall said. "It's been really cool to watch those guys 
mature, and I've been able to learn a lot from them."

As the only true junior on this year's squad, Wall is the top 
candidate to inherit the role of team leader next season. But he 
hesitates to look that far ahead.

"I'm not worried about it," Wall said. "I want to think about 
this year, because everybody wants to get a ring this year: a 
conference ring and the big one."

New Orleans Saints 
running back Ricky 
Williams could be 
traded to the Miami

Heisman Trophy 
winner.

Boyd set to 
replace Lewis
LINEBACKERS, from 9

"I can cover a tight end or a slot receiver," Jackson said. 
"With me at linebacker, we can stay in our base defense, and 
that makes it difficult for teams to run on us."

For four years, Lew is m ade it difficult for Texas op p o­
nents ito run the football from his m iddle linebacker p osi­
tion. Lewis, a second-team All-American last year, started a 
Texas record 51 gam es during his career. Boyd will take over 
for Lewis in 2002.

Boyd, who will be a junior next fall, spent two seasons as 

Lew is' backup and learned a lot from the veteran.

"D.D. had a nose for the ball," Boyd said. "H e had great 
instincts and good technique. I observed those, and that's 
helped me."

Despite the relative lack of experience of the new corps, 
Reese knows they have a great group to emulate for next 
season.

"H aving the older guys around last year has shown them 
what it takes to be a good linebacker," Reese said. "Now, all 
I can do is hope they go out and do those things."

"You can make it a positive 
either way. A young team like 
ours might benefit from hav­

Conradt said. "O n the other 
hand, with how physically 
dem anding our conference is, 
fatigue might be an issue try­
ing to get all the w ay through 
the tournament."

Iowa State, the No. 6 seed 
in the tournam ent despite 
being ranked in the nation's 
top 10, lost their chance to rest 
on Tuesday with a last-minute 
defeat to Baylor in the regular 
season's final gam e. But the 
Cyclones, who have won the 
past two conference tourna­
ments, have put their up-and- 
down regular season behind 
them.

"Once the regular season 
ends, it's over," Iowa State

"We don't think about it, we

The Supersuckers love their country

Lead singer Eddie Spaghetti gets patriotic with Austin dates plus a SXSW gig

By John Bringardner
Daily Texan Staff

Spaghetti: Wow

We're having a

little earthquake.

Beavis and Butthead were little m ore 
than a brief blip on the pop culture h is­
tory radar, but there was a time w hen 
the show w as new and exciting for rea­
sons altogether separate from the vari­
ous controversies the cartoon d u o 
sparked. There was the somewhat for­
gotten segment of the show when the 
boys would just watch TV and provide 
inane commentary for the m u sic 
videos they saw. After the show had 
reached a certain level of success, the 
videos they used were the sam e as 
those seen on regular MTV; but for the 
first few seasons, the videos were less­
er-known and much more interesting 
— generally, the kind you could only 
see on 120 Minutes, if at all.

That7s where I first came across the 
Supersuckers. It was a video 
for 
"Creepy Jackalope Eye," and I w as 
impressed. The guys were all w earing 
cowboy hats, and their song paid h o m ­
age to that tiny beast of Texas legend. 
The punk flair and the singer's voice 
said as m uch about the Jackalope as it 
did about how many cigarettes this 
man must have smoked. That7s w h en I 
bought what turned out to be their 
seminal album, La Mano Cornuda. A 
few years later, they finally gave into 
their hidden country impulses and 
released Must've Been High, a full-on 
country affair — and a pretty pu nk 
thing for a punk band to do-. Bring the 
story to the present day, and the 
Supersuckers are on the verge of releas­
ing M ust’ve Been Live, a collection of 
tracks from their one and only country 
tour. They're coming to Austin for a 
handful of shows: one SXSW show 
with lead singer Eddie Spaghetti and 
friends, as well as two show s at 
Antone's. I was able to talk with Eddie 
by phone from his home in San Diego.

Daily Texan: Why the live album 

now?

Eddie Spaghetti: Basically, 

it's 
another Supersuckers "happy a cci­
dent." O ur soundman found a bunch 
of recordings that we made on the tour 
that we did for Must've Been High, and 
me and him sifted through 'em. We 
were gonna just sort've spit it out as 
maybe a fan club release or an official 
bootleg, and one thing led to another, 
and it became this. Everybody that 
heard it was like, "You know y ou 
ought to really put this out, I think its 
really good." We decided to make it the 
first effort of our own label.

D.T.: W hat kind of plans do yOU 

have for the label, then?

D.T.: Is everything OK?
Spaghetti: Yeah, everything's cool. 
All of our little hanging things are shak­
ing and stuff. Cool.

D.T.: So, your plans?
Spaghetti: We're hoping to put all of 
our forthcoming records out through 
Midfi (short for "middle finger"), with 
the eventual goal even being to put out 
music by other artists that we dig and 
think that should be heard by all. But 
we want to start out on ourselves, you 
know, and work out all the bugs and 
make sure that we don't make some 
promises and screw some of our 
friends over... that would be the worst. 
But right now, we're working out all 
the kinks and feeling our way through 
this with this live release. Then, hope­
fully, we'll have a rock record ready to 
go by the end of the year.

D.T.: Is your current tour going to be 

all country, then?

Spaghetti: Yeah, we're gonna dust 
off the old acoustic guitars and bust out 
the country set another time. We hard­
ly ever get to do it, and its been a while 
since we did a full country tour. I mean, 
we only did it for the Must've Been High 
touring. But we're gonna do a couple of 
cities where we play two nights in a 
row. On those nights, we'll do one 
night with the rock set and one night 
country.

D.T.: You guys have three Austin 
shows, but the SXSW show is listed as 
"Eddie Spaghetti and friends." What 
does the "and friends" part mean, 
exactly?

Spaghetti: Well, we're just gonna 
kind of keep it real loose that night, and 
probably just do a little hootenanny 
thing and have some friends come up. 
You know it'll be us, and we'll just sorta 
keep a real loose fun vibe goin' on, and 
just bring up as many friends willing to 
come up and play with us, because 
there'll be a lot of 'em there — try to 
goof off and just make somethin' a little 
bit special. Then, when we do 
Antone's, we'll do one night rock and 
one night country.

D.T.: I saw that the Supersuckers just 
played in Park City, Utah, during the 
Olympics. What was that like?

S paghetti: Yeah, we just played there 
for the Olympics. It was pretty cool. We 
played sorta outside of the area where 
everybody is for the Olympics, like by 
a few miles — still in town, but not

where everything was going on. So not 
as many people were traveling outside 
of the little Olympic area as we would 
have liked. Actually, we didn't care, but 
the promoter probably would have 
liked more people out there. But it was 
a lot of fun to be there, a lot of excite­
ment there, and it was cool.

D.T.: Did you guys do the country 

stuff?

Spaghetti: No, we just did rock 
shows, because the record's not out yet. 
So, we figured we can wait a little bit.

D.T.: How well does such an evil 
band as yours do in such a clean-living 
state like Utah?

Spaghetti: Actually, it's kind of sur­
prising. We've sold a few more records 
there in [Park City'] than we thought, 
and it's become kind of a cool rock 
town. Of course, they don't have any 
good bands there on their own, so they 
rely on bands like us to come in there 
and rock 'em.

D.T.: Where are you based now?
Spaghetti: Well, we still consider 
home to be San Diego. I mean Seattle. 
Sorry! (laughs) But it is confusing now 
with everybody — our drummer's liv­
ing in Austin, two of us are in San 
Diego and one's in Seattle. But I think 
by the end of the summer, three of us 
will be back in Seattle again.

D.T.: No more Tucson, Ariz.?
Spaghetti: Nope, Tucson's off the 
menu. All my family moved out of 
Tucson. There's not much reason to go 
back, really.

[Eddie's baby can be heard crying in the 

background]

D.T.: Have you started on the new 

rock album at all?

Spaghetti: Just writing. We got a 
bunch of songs, and we'll have a bunch 
more. We haven't really, we've done 
some recording lately, but for projects. 
We have a split CD coming out with 
The Electric Frankenstein coming up in 
April, and we put out a couple rock 
tunes for the fan club — we did a single 
for them. So we've been doing some 
recording, but mainly for little projects 
and stuff like that. We'll probably get 
into the quarry and mine that fresh 
stuff for ya for the end of the year.

D.T.: No live rock album, then?
Spaghetti: Not yet, although that's 
what we always intended to do. I 
mean, we never really planned on 
doing the live country record before a 
live rock record; it's sort of ridiculous, 
but we're ridiculous people.

D.T.: Does this mean you're getting 

older, starting to relax a bit?

Spaghetti: It sure is a lot easier play­
ing country; you don't sweat half as 
much.

D.T.: Are the Supersuckers outgrow­

ing their punk rock roots?

Spaghetti: Yeah. We're not that old 
yet, but rock is becoming an older art 
form, and you're gonna see more and 
more old guys up there rockin' out. You 
see Lemmy up there, 50 years old, and 
he's still kickin' ass. So I do think its 
possible and accéjoted. And that's why 
I do look up to people like Lemmy, or 
like a lot of the country guys who are 
doin' it until they die. I mean, it's just, 
it's the way to go. I don't like havin' a 
time limit on how long I can make 
music.

is the choice of this oigan called the brain, 
which is our haiddri ve that plugs us in to 
this neurotic world. And humility is the 
choice of the heart, the choice that comes 
from the part of us that has not been 
flooded by the outside world, and by the 
trivial thinking that goes along with par­
ticipating in the outside world. There's 
another song that I thought was part of 
that dialogue that night 1 remember that 
was called, "in Any Case, I Feel It7s Sad 
That Self-Doubt Should Have It Easy." It 
was a similar outcry of need and pineap­
ple. And I was like, realizing that it was a 
fresh realization just in the moment. And 
the music brought me there, and the 
music decorated this thought that it's just 
sad that we can feel so great and in a few 
moments feel like waste. And it's a 
shame that self-doubt is such a success­
ful, sexy seductress of ourselves. And I 
think that the whole theme of that gig 
after a while became understanding that 
self-doubt is an exam for our vitality, and 
that I was fighting to live right there on 
the stage.

Jerm: One of my favorite punk 
moments, and when I say punk I mean 
what Tim was saying: the spirit, the feel­
ing — not the clothespin in your nose or 
the green hair, none of the trivial aspects 
of that lifestyle — but sometimes the 
most punk moments from punk groups 
are when they rebel against that: the 
stereotypes. You were screaming on the 
mic, "go to school, stay in school!" which 
you wouldn't think some punk kid 
would understand at first.

Speed: Right, right. It would seem 
kinda scholastic of me to be demanding 
that everyone stay in school. But it was a 
profoundly punk moment.

Jerm: I love the lyric from that night 
too; that was a good night. We should 
give you some more pineapple juice. But 
the lyrics were, "Living is not inherently 
painful, but learning is!" I think you were 
on the floor at that point, rolling around

in beer that you had just kicked over.

Speed: "Everywhere I go, everything I 
do, Fucking schooooollllll. Everywhere is 
school." And I was feeling it.

You know me and Jerm went to school 
together. We've been in bands together 
since 10th- or 11th- grade. The Ongoing 
Wow is a chapter in the novel of our 
musicality, and we've had several bands 
together over the years.

Jerm: We played CBGB's when we 

were still in high school.

Speed: That band was called

Sneezegard.

Jerm: It wasn't until nght before The 
Cruise came out that we started to really 
do some improv music.

Speed: I was in a band in New York 
called Nerdrack, and that was the end of 
my time rehearsing. I just got tired of 
rehearsing; I mean doing the same songs 
over and over again.

Speed: Well, there's a version of 
"[Undone] The Sweater Song" by 
Weezer that I collaborated on that's 
apparently gaining popularity with the 
Weezer community. It's fun, and it's a 
good example of extemporaneous lyri­
cism intermixed with a song that people 
really knew at the time and still know. 
We recorded that at the major rock sta­
tion in Philadelphia. And it was an 
unplugged concert that Weezer did for 
that radio station when we were passing 
through Philadelphia. I had been doing 
"The Sweater Song" differently every 
night, just getting up and singing and 
screaming extemporaneously during the 
a cappella sections. But that was the first 
time we did it unplugged. So really, it 
was the first time you could actually hear 
some of what I was actually saying. And 
that7s what was recorded.

The Ongoing Wow will be at Emo's
tonight Jerm Pollet's new album, Every 
Song is a Mating Call', is out now; he wiH 
be playing with the newly regrouped Gals 
Panic during SXSW at 11 p.m. March 16 
at the Hole in the Wall.

Cruising along with Ongoing Wow

Indie star Levitch with boyhood frien d , Austinite Pollet m ake the scene

DVD
s p o t l i g h t —1

By John Brtngardner
Daily Texan Staff

Life is g<K)d these days for Timothy 
"Speed" I^e\ itch. But in a way, he might 
argue that lit. has always been gcxxf for 
Ihe growing fame of this former 
him 
New York tour-bus guide and homeless 
couch-surfer has spun out from The 
Cruise, the biographical documentan' 
that introduced him to film audiences 
across the world This year found him in 
two more film roles in both Richard 
1 inklater's Waking I ¡fe (as the only non- 
Austinite) and the upcoming Scotland, 
PA, with Christopher Walken and Andy 
Dick.

Pacing right alongside Speed's film 
canvr is the music with his band The 
Ongoing Wow This is where high school 
buddy and Austin music fixture Jerm 
Pollet comes in. Together, Jerm and 
Speed have assembled one of the most 
u n ique musico-philosophical-situation- 
ist-improv experiences this side of May 
'6b I first saw the two perform at a small 
post-Omsc screening event at the short­
lived Purgatory Lounge when the film 
first came through town a few' years ago. 
1 was able to meet Speed and Jerm again 
n'cently at Spider 1 louse to see how the 
band has evolved since then.

Daily Texan: When I saw you two 
perform at the Purgatory I x lunge, did 
you consider yourselves to be The 
Ongoing Wow yet?

Speed: Yeah, in the sense that the 
Ongoing wow" is my term for reality, 
and I do believe that reality is an unfold­
ing miracle. And the band, The Ongoing 
Wow, is cruising reality right before the 
audience's eyes by 
negotiating and 
co llabo ratin g 
with oxygen, 
the
tease and 
e a c h 
o t h e r 
a n d 
t

audience to craft new, fresh, innovative 
ways to fall in love w ith life together and 
call it for the sake of convenience, "now'." 
The songs are all emanations of the mir­
acle of the unfolding reality between u s, 
amongst as, happening around us and 
on top of us. And that night was an 
example of it. But like I said, I think the 
amplification wus not that good; 1 don't 
know' if you could hear the words. But it 
was an extemporaneous rock concert, 
which is what The Ongoing Wow' does.

D.T.: Is every performance extempo­

raneous then? Do you ever practice?

Speed: You know, truly the aspiration 
is to be extemporaneous every time; and 
truly, it goes well every time. That we 
simply stay in the moment and plunge 
ourselves in the greatest frontier of all, 
w'hich is the present tease. 'That's reality, 
in every sense of the Titanic image from 
the film — being out on the bow of the 
ship, leaning forward into the wind. You 
are on the absolute bow of your s h ip , 
and the greatest frontier of your life 
when you'a1 just in the moment and 
copulating out loud with the present 
tease*; when y ou 'a in front of a live rock 
'n' roll crowd. And that is the aspiration 
of every Ongoing Wow show.

D.T.: Where have you played other 

than Austin?

Jerm: We play in New York City. We 
played some Manhattan gigs and some 
Brooklyn gigs. I live in Austin, but I'll fly 
up to New York for some gigs. We'll do 
like a couple nights in a tow. We'll do 
two nights in a row at this place called 
Galapagos; it's a great space for us. It's a 
dub with a pond in the middle of it, 
like a little wading pool. We've 
done realty well; Speed's real- 
popular there. We'll do 
that every couple of 
months. Right now, if s a 
tiling. But 
Speed, we've been 
talking 
about 
doing film festi­
vals.

two-city 

Speed: Yeah, 
there's a recent 
which is 
to say a dream. 
Which is to

thing that's on its way to being actual­
ized, of maybe putting together a rock 
tour of film festivals, which I thought 
sounded like a really fun idea, just to tour 
film festivals And The Ongoing Wow' 
has a lot of songs about movies and 
about films. And because I've gone to a 
lot of film festivals myself and have been 
immersed in the w'orld of films for the 
last few years, I think that there would be 
a very interesting rock audience that is 
film-onented, waiting for The Ongoing 
Wow in those worlds.

I've been in two feature films this year. 
And last year, when I was in Sundance, 
both of those projects were in the film 
festival. And I've now traveled to three 
different continents of the world for film 
festivals. So I really speak fluentty the 
language of film restivaLs now, and I real­
ize they would be a lot of fun to rock out 
at. And I could say that a lot of film festi­
vals that I have been to could use The 
Ongoing Wow

Jerm: It's hard ... we're a band that's 
hard to categorize, because' we're not just 
some improv jazz band. We're not a jazz 
group, although we can have jazzy 
moments.

Speed: We do have jazzy moments.
Jerm: But we certainly have a punk 

attitude.

Speed: The tnith is, categorizations 
are killing us. And by us, I mean the 
human race And so I always love partic­
ipating in a creative project that defies 
categorization since 1 do think it is the 
current black plagye amongst us.

Jerm: 1 take that as a good compli­

ment.

Speed: Yes, and The Ongoing Wow 
defies categorization because it's in the 
moment. And when you're 
in the 
moment, categorizations don't have 
time to categorize you. And your self- 
censorship doesn't have time to censor 
you. That's why it's such a fluid, free- 
enterprising rock 'n' roll, I think that 
doesn't realty have a good label.

Jerm: Although, if somebody forced 
me to label it, I would say we're a rock 
band ... We're* rock 'n' roll.

Speed: in the long run, we're rock 'n' 
roll. And I mean that in the most primal 
sense of the word. I mean that in the 
same way that the late Neolithic would 
have used the term rock 'n' roll if they 
had it on their tongues at the time. 
Because I do think rock 'n' roll is primal 
and older than time and space. And it's 
recently been given these mouth noises, 
this language so that we can use the term 
rock 'n' roll and have some understand­
ing of what it is. But the beauty of the 
term is that it only begins to describe the 
pnmal feeling.

ticular show; does one rock more than 
the other rolls? How does one experi­
ence The Ongoing Wow?

Jerm: It's teautiful; it really is a collab­
oration. The audience projects some of 
their feelings and expectations onto us, 
and we're sensitive to that. I think some­
times we do that to them. There are 
rooms that will bring out stuff from us. I 
remember one gig at the Galapagos 
where Speed came in pretty drunk. 
What were you drinking that night?

Speed: That was rum and pineapple.
Jerm: I think it was the pineapple 

more than the rum.

Speed: The responsibility of the 
pineapple was completely on my shoul­
ders that night, and I felt it. I showed up 
basically as close to being Sid Vicious 
that I will ever be ... I wras truly a con­
quistador, and I was out to convert the 
world of my way of thinking, and I did­
n't even know what that way was.

There was a moment in that rum and 
pineapple admixture when I was 
screaming out to the audience the differ­
ences between feeling humiliated and 
feeling humility, and how life is an ongo­
ing choice between the two. And I was 
absolutely, existentially front-and-center 
on this topic for reasons that I knew and 
did not know' that night. That was just a 
fresh, punk moment when I felt a need­
ed to scream to my fellow human beings 
on the mic, in complete disregard to the 
musicians and the music that was play­
ing, that there is definitely a choice to be 
made — and it's a choice that we can 
lose. You can make a really deadly, a neu­
rotic wrong-tum choice when it comes to 
the crossroads between choosing to be 
humiliated and choosing to feel hum­
bled by life. And it's a realty cool song. It 
turned into a realty great punk song, in 
the moment.

D.T.: Was there an answer to the

choice?

up with some answers in that song. 

Speed: Yeah, I think that we did come 
7
Jerm: Yeah, the answer was like you 
just said: choose humility. If you want to 
hang with The Ongoing Wow on a 
Friday night, which are you gonna 
choose? Well, you better choose humility. 
Otherwise, you can't party with us. It 
w'as almost like Funkadelic; like, if you 
wanna party with us, you better bring 
the funk. Or like the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. 
would say, walk the line with all the 
homies — you don't have to, just if you 
w'ant to. But it takes courage. They 
understand if you don't wrant to. If s not 
for evervbody; not everyone's got the 
guts to.

Speed: I think clearly that humiliation 

Top-selling Irish singer Mary Black hits Paramount

By Stayton Bonner
Daily Texan Staff

Marv Black, Ireland's top-sell­
ing singing artist for more than a 
decade, drops 
into Texas this 
Thursday for one night at the 
Paramount Theatre. Mixing tradi­
tional Irish ballads and contempo­
rary folk songs, internationally 
renowned Black is currently tour­
ing in support of the release of her 
second C .reatest Hits volume.

With a career spanning over 20 
years, Black's success has continu­
ally escalated and taken her from 
Dublin 
to sell-out 
shows at London's famed Royal 
Albert 1 lall. Black's first self-titled 
album reached No. 4 in the 1983

folk clubs 

Irish charts with its strong tradi­
tional 
elements. The break­
through album also won her the 
Irish Independent Arts Award for 
Music, the first in a long list of 
recognitions Black was to receive.
Broadening her repertoire out­
side of traditional Irish ballads, 
Black looked to contemporary 
songwriters for her second album, 
1985's Without the Fanfare. This 
album established a career trend 
that has become Black's trade­
mark — discovering Ireland's 
finest contemporary song-writing 
talent and then projecting their 
songs onto a world stage with her 
voice.

That 

formula has worked

remarkably well for Mary, as she 
has now been Ireland's top-selling 
artist for more than a decade with 
nine platinum solo albums. She 
has toured all over the world and 
has recorded and performed live 
with the likes of Emmylou Harris, 
Mary Chapin Carpenter, Joan 
Baez and Van Morrison.

Though her contemporary folk 
songs can border on light pop (a la 
Celine Dion sappy stuff), Black's 
renditions of traditional Irish bal­
lads are sung with an authority 
only Ireland's best ceuld produce.

Mary Black will be performing 
at the Paramount Theater on 
Thursday. March 7, at 8 p.m.

Mary Black has produced nine platinum albums.

‘A.I.’: Special 
Edition

When A .I.: A rtificial Intelligence 
was released in theaters last summer, 
no one questioned whether this con­
fluence of two of the greatest direc­
tors ever was important. Instead, 
many walked out of the theater ques­
the product of 
tioning whether 
Stanley Kubrick's vision and Steven 
Spielberg's directorship lived up to 
the lofty expectations ascribed to it.

A.I. tells the story of David (Haley 
(or 
Joel Osment), a m echanical 
mecha) child who has been granted 
the ability to love by his creators. 
W hen separated from his family, 
David embarks on a journey through 
a surreal future to find his mother 
and become a real boy. With his com­
(Jude Law),

saturated city of pleasure; and a city 
drowned in water.

travels 

With its false endings and con­
stantly shifting tones, A.I. confused 
audiences. The stunning sets, cine­
m atography and John Williams' 
score were unquestionably amazing, 
but was the story itself up to the 
standards of the minds behind the 
film? Now, with the release of A.I. on 
DVD, audiences can once again dis­
sect and evaluate the film with some 
extra insight provided by its cre­
ators.

the 

On some levels, A.I. remains a con­
fusing piece of work — perhaps even 
more difficult to assess on DVD than 
on the big screen. The colors of 
few 
Rouge City and 
sequences are as rich as ever, but are 
not nearly as appreciable without a 
large enough screen. On the other 
hand, this futuristic Pinocchio does 
take on a more personal tinge when 
viewed in the comfort of one's own 
home.

final 

The extras, all of which are on the 
second of this two-disc set, provide 
some insight, but not as much as one 
would want. Presented as a series of 
short documentaries, these informa- 
tionals discuss a dissection of the 
two main characters, special effects, 
the creation of sets and the creation 
of the robots.

The most informative of these doc­
umentaries is the character analysis 
of Gigolo Joe. The character, a lover 
mecha, may seem like Kubrick's cre­
ation to some. The documentary 
points out, however, that Gigolo Joe 
was merely an undeveloped sketch 
in Kubrick's mind and was fleshed 
out more completely by Steven 
Spielberg, who molded Joe in the 
im age of Fred Astaire and Gene 
Kelly to influence the level of ele­
gance and charm.

More memorable than anything 
else in A.I. was the intricacy of the 
sets. The makers of the film must 
have been aware of this, as the cre­
ation of the A.I. landscape is thor­
oughly investigated. The discs show 
the progression of the gates to Rouge 
that 
from paper sketches 
City, 
Stanley Kubrick commissioned from 
a graphic artist, to its physical cre­
ation and to the interaction of the

actors around it with a blue screen.

The authenticity of the final scenes 
in the film is also explored. R ath er 
than using fake ice in the closing 
moments, the documentaries reveal 
how hundreds of pounds of ice w ere 
imported daily to make the scene 
look real.

One of the more disappointing 
segments was the creation o f the 
robots. The documentary, w h ich 
focuses on Stan Winston stu d io s, 
does not get quite as in-depth a s one 
would like. Rather than focu sin g 
more time on how the m echa w ere 
made to look so unique, it focuses on 
the use of real-life amputees to help 
pull off the mangled look o f the 
robots. The creation of the m o st 
intriguing character, Teddy, is given 
attention as well, as we see him 
develop from a basic m echanized 
bear to the sophisticated m achin e 
that w e see on the screen.

A fter watching the d ou b le-d isc 
DVD of A.I., one's opinion of the film 
may become even more obscured. 
But w hether you like the film o r not, 
you will be able to ap preciate it 
more.

‘In the Mood for 
Love’: The 
Criterion Collection

W hen it came out way back* in 
February of last year, In the M o o d fo r 
Love w as a shoo-in for the best look­
ing film of the year. Then the C oen 
Brothers released The M an W ho 
Wasn't There. Back in February, the 
film w as also the best-acted p iece of 
cinema. But eight months later, In the 
Bedroom came out.

Time has a funny way of w orking. 
When the time came to make to p 10 
lists and fill out Academy A w ard bal­
lots, In the M ood for Love, a sm all, jaw _ 
from 
droppingly gorgeous 
Hong Kong about spouses w h o find 
their significant oth ers are 
out 
involved in affairs, somehow g o t lost 
in the shuffle. At least som eone at 
The Criterion Collection noticed.

film 

The result is a two-disc D V D set 
that is a little off-putting fo r its 
excesses, considering how m inim al­
ist in tone In the Mood fo r Love is as a 
film.

But Criterion couldn't resist p ou r­
ing on the extras for their first W ong 
Kar Wai (Chungking Express) release. 
Although the set is a rem arkable 
package, the amount of features can 
be overwhelming. The extra features 
include: a full-length docum entary 
made about the film by Kar W ai him ­
self; an hour-long press conference 
that followed the film's prem iere at 
the Toronto Film Festival; the com ­
plete marketing plan for the fiim; 
interviews with Kar Wai at different 
points in the making of In the M ood 
for Love; and deleted scenes th at illu­
minate the film's themes.

For those who don't like to read 
off the screen, an essay by film schol­
ar Gina Marchetti about 1960s H ong 
Kong and an essay about the film 's 
music don't make the disc any m ore 
accessible.

The best gifts, however, co m e in 
the sm allest packages. In ad d ition to

 Austin c e l e b m ie s texas independence

Marching Band

Congress Avenue 
in Saturday’s 
parade 
celebrating Texas 
Independence Day.

Daily Texan Staff

T he eyes of Texas were upon the 

University Fnday as students, fac­
ulty and staff gathered on the West Mall 

and main plaza to celebrate Texas 
Independence Day.

The celebration marks the 166th 

anniversary of the drafting of the Texas 
Declaration of Independence on March 2, 
1836. The document, literally prepared 
overnight by a five-man committee, 
declared Texas' independence from 
Mexico and established Texas as an inde­
pendent nation — a status no other U.S. 
state can claim. The document was final­
ized and approved during the Mexican 
arm y's siege on the Alamo.

Texas was the 28th state to join the 

Union nine years later in 1845.

The University marked the anniver­
sary with the unfurling of service frater­
nity Alpha Phi Omega's Texas flag over 
the front of the main building. The Main 
Mall event, organized by the Texas Exes 
Student Chapter, included a "Texas tradi­
tion"— reuniting and breaking bread on 
Texas Independence Day. Texas-shaped 
cookies and iced tea were provided for 
participants.

The festivities have been a Texas Exes 
tradition since 1900, said Tiffany Cuellar, 
Texas Exes Student Chapter president.

Cuellar proposed a toast "to our state, 

whose founders made our education 
possible."

BY ANITA POWELL- Daily Texan Staff

UT President Larry Faulkner gave a 
short address, thanking participants and 
lauding the virtues of Texas and the peo­
ple who made Texas possible.

"Texas was and remains a place that 
encompasses many cultures," he said. 
"The founders of this state placed great 
emphasis on diversity and education. 
Thanks for being here in memory of the 
cultures that built our state."

On the West Mall, the Young 

Conservatives of Texas held their own cel­
ebration, complete with cookies, T-shirts, 
Texas trivia and student speakers. The cel­
ebration also featured 'Texas music' — 
country music — said Adam Bitter, YCT 
chairman.

"We try to support Texas Independence 

Day,"said Bitter, a communications stud­
ies senior. "Our mission is to keep this 
day alive and to keep remembrance of it."
The Main Mall celebration ended, as 
all University events, with "The Eyes of 
Texas," led by the Orange Jackets, a 
women's spirit and service organization. 
The Tower was lit orange on Saturday 
night in recognition of the celebration.

Erik Hensarling, a human biology jun­
ior said it was his right and privilege as a 
native Texan to participate in the festivities.
"Growing up in Texas, I soon realized 
that you can't get an experience like this 
anywhere else," said Hensarling, a Fort 
Worth native. 'Texas is just unique."
