Issuing the third veto of his presi­ dency, C linton rejected a m easure that would let Congress spend $2.2 billion this fiscal year — a $200 mil­ lion reduction from last year's bud­ get. The m ove opened C linton to attack from Republicans. "President Clinton has put politics ahead of cutting government spend­ in g ,” Senate M ajority Leader Bob D ole and H ou se S p eak er N ew t Gingrich said in a joint statement. The W h ite H ou se said C lin to n supported the bill and its cuts, but vetoed it as a sign of his frustration over the slow progress of budget deliberations. Though the fiscal year began Sunday, only two of 13 spend­ ing bills have passed Congress. "I d o n 't think C ongress should take care of its own business before it takes care of the people's business,” Clinton said in his veto message. In another move aimed at putting R ep u b lican s on th e d e fe n siv e , Clinton approved a bill providing money for military construction pro­ jects, including family housing. The approval came despite the measure's inclusion of $70 million in projects Clinton said amounted to wasteful GOP spending and pointed up the need for a line-item veto. Both actions carried political risks for C linton. In the latest round of p o litical g am esm an sh ip over the th e p re sid e n t actu a lly b u d g et, approved one bill he said wasted tax­ payers’ money and vetoed another that would cut government spe nding — a bill he said he liked. C lin to n 's actio n and th e G O P response were the latest tit-for-tat in a war between the White House and Republicans over spending priorities, especially on M edicare, M edicaid, education and the environment. The president has threatened to veto eight of the 13 spending bills. House Appropriations Committee C h airm an B ob L iv in g sto n said Clinton had "n o substantive grounds for a veto” of the congressional bud­ get. "T he president can't have it both w ays,” said Livingston, R-La. "H e can't lecture the Congress on political reform w hile vetoing the first real e ffo rt in 40 y ea rs to reform the Congress."

Associated Press PE N SA C O LA , Fla. — H u rrican e O pal raced towards the northeast Gulf Coast late Tuesday, threatening areas still recovering from Hurricane Erin with deadly 115 mph winds and heavy rain. The sto rm 's n o rth east pace qu icken ed from 11 to 21 mph within hours, meaning landfall could occur Wednesday afternoon, rather than midnight. Panama City was the most likely target for Opal's eye, forecasters said. "By far this is the biggest storm this year for Florida," Joe Myers, state director of the D ivision of Em ergency M anagement, said late Tuesd ay. " I t 's the biggest storm for Florida since Hurricane Andrew." Residents already weary of the busy hur­ ric a n e se a so n e m b a rk e d on w h a t has become the routine practice of boarding up their homes. T~’ ■ r r , • Erin tore off most of the roof from Lisa R o s e n 's b e a c h fr o n t h o u se on a b a rrie r island. Plastic sheeting flapped thunderous­ ly in the w ind, and the roof leaked as a squall hit Tuesday. "T h e h ou se is livable but it leaks like m ad," said Rosen, who planned to flee to Atlanta. "It can't take another beating, and I sure don't want to be around to witness it." Neighbors in Pensacola Beach and other coastal towns shared Rosen's fears — and home repair problems — as they prepared to evacuate as Opal approached. At least 10 people died and 20 were miss­ ing in M exico after Opal passed over the Y ucatan peninsula, causing flooding that in d ro v e m o re Campeche state from their homes. th an 2 0 ,0 0 0 p e o p le Late Tuesday night, Opal was about 265 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River.

It's g e ttin g to be a d a n g e ro u s s to r m ," said M vers, referring to ’Tropical Storm Jerry, which doused Florida's southeast, central and southwest coasts in August. County officials in the Florida Panhandle ordered low-lying areas evacuated Tuesday night. State offices were closed in coastal areas, and Escambia County schools were closed Wednesday. H u rricane w arnings w ere issued from Mobile, Ala. east to Anclote Key on the west coast of Florida. Tropical storm w arnings stretched south to Venice. Hurricane w atch­ es and a tropical storm warning extended west of Mobile to Grand Isle, La. Opal has already caused coastal flooding in southern Texas.

ROPE 'EM, COWBOY Macedonian president injured in car bombing Associated Press SKOPJE, M acedonia — The man who led M acedonia to independence was seriously wounded Tuesday in another act of violence in the Balkans — a car bom b ripped apart his armored Mercedes, killing his driver and shattering windows as high as the ninth floor. President K iro G ligorov lost his right eye in the blast, according to Saso Ordanoski, director of Macedonian TV. In hours of neurosurgery, doctors removed shrapnel from the 78- year-old president's head. Surgeons from France and Yugoslavia assisted, and U.S. doctors, including the U.S. N avy's onlv neurosurgeon in Europe, were en route. The bombing raised concerns about further violence in the volatile country. About 540 U.S. soldiers are part of a U.N. peacekeeping force in Macedonia. Two suspects in their mid-20s were arrested in the bomb­ ing, authorities said, but their identities were not released. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blast, which also wounded Gligorov's security officer and five pedestrians, one critically. "For now, Gligorov's life is not in danger," a police state­ ment said. But doctors noted that any head injury was serious for a man of Gligorov's age. The 45 pounds of explosives, packed into the trunk of an old Citroen, blew up as Gligorov's car passed by. The blast ripped open the car's right front door, and the right rear door where Gligorov sat was penetrated by metal shards. The bomb was detonated by remote control about 100 yards from Gligorov's offices in Skopje, the Macedonian capital. The president's route to his office is well known, and the car often slows at the point where the bomb exploded because of heavy traffic. A small car in front of the presidential limousine was reported to have deliberately slowed down before the blast. Tuesday's assassination attem pt came as M acedonia, an impoverished state of 2 million, seemed headed toward more stability and better relations with its neighbors. G reece agreed last m onth to end a crippling econom ic blockade. On Monday, Gligorov, in Belgrade on h i s first offi­ cial visit, said Macedonia and neighboring rump Yugoslavia could recognize each other as early as November. Although Macedonia seceded peacefully in 1991 as the old Yugoslav federation broke up, independence aggravated volatility in the republic, which has a large ethnic Albanian minority. The country historically has had uneasy relations with neighboring Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, and Albania. Local media speculated the bomb might be the work of M acedonian nationalists who would oppose com prom ises with the republic's neighbors. In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Nicholas Bums said the U.S. administration "very much condemns this cowardly terrorist act." G ligo ro v , a lead in g co m m u n ist o fficia l in the form er Yugoslavia, was elected Macedonia's president in 1992. During a one-day trip to Belgrade Monday, he held talks with President Slobodan M ilosevic of Serbia about mutual recognition. Serbia has not recognized Macedonia because of border disputes and out of solidarity with Greece w hich claims Macedonia has territorial designs on its province bear­ ing the same name.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Pope John Paul II enjoys favorable American polls Associated Press NEW YO RK — Placido D om ingo, N atalie C ole and Roberta Flack will warm up his audiences. Free tickets to his outdoor events are being scalped at prices that might be whispered in Shubert Alley for sold- out Broadway musicals — upwards of $100. A healthier Pope John Paul II returns to the United States Wednesday with popularity ratings any politician would covet. A New York T im es-CBS News poll released over the weekend found 92 percent of U.S. Catholic adults view him favorably and only 4 percent unfa­ vorably. During his five-day visit, the pope w ill con fer w ith P resid en t C lin to n , address the United N ations G eneral Assembly and preach to huge crowds at the outdoor Masses in Giants Stadi­ um in the New Jersey Meadowlands, at A q u ed u ct race track , on the G reat Lawn in New York's Central Park and at Oriole Park in Baltimore. Even if the pope faces little visible opposition, polls show many American C ath olics reject his view s on sexual morality and other issues. Critics inside the church object to the pope's vehem ent opposition to birth control and want him to at least consid­ er allow ing m arried priests and the ordination of women. The number of U.S. priests is falling even as the num­ ber of Catholics rises. The pope began 1995 as Time maga­ zine's Man of the Year, his 12th appear­ ance on Time's cover. His book, Cross- mg the Threshold o f Hope, was a best-sell­ er in 20 countries. The English translation of the new Catechism o f the Catholic Church, a major project of his papacy, has sold an aston­ ishing 2.3 million copies in hardback. At the outset of his 18th year on the throne of Peter, C atholic population worldwide has passed the billion mark. John Paul II has made a remarkable comeback from the effects of a partial thigh bone replacem ent after a bath­ room fall that caused the cancellation of a planned U.S. visit a year ago. Jour­ neying to his fifth continent since then, the 75-year-old p o n tiff has throw n away his cane and walks with less of the pronounced stoop observed during his recovery. O ccasion ally how ever, esp ecially when he is climbing steps, the ruddy face is caught by the TV cameras gri­ macing in pain. To assist him during the recent A frican trip, elevators or hydraulic lifts were installed at several altar sites. In addressing the United Nations on Thursday, John Paul II will have a far greater presence than when he faced the w orld body at the outset of his papacy in 1979. Such diverse figures as Czech Presi­ dent Vaclav H avel, Ronald Reagan, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, and the Rev. Vincent O 'K eefe, wrhom he removed as acting Superior General of the Jesuits, look upon this Pope as a moral battering ram in bringing down the Berlin Wall and European Commu­ nism. ASSOCIATED PRESS Pope John Paul II w aved to p il­ grims and faithful as he arrived in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday. In a s o le m n o p e n -a ir c e re m o n y th e pontiff beatified 110 people includ­ ing clergymen executed during the Spanish Civil War and priests who died during the French Revolution.

They carried banners reading "Five Years of Unity — There's Nothing To Celebrate." Unity Day celebrations are hosted every Oct. 3 by whichever of Germany's 16 states holds the presidency in the upper house of parliament.

V P ’s child faces public with drinking citation ■ WASHINGTON — It is distressing for any parent to have a teen-aged child cited by police for drinking. For a high- profile fam ily like V ice President Al G o re's, thin gs are hardly helped by having it all played out in public. Tipper Gore said Tuesday their 16- year-old daughter, given a ticket last weekend, is wrestling with the public attention as well as "th e severe disap­ pointm ent of her fam ily and friends and herself." Sarah Gore was cited Friday in sub­ urban Montgomery County, Md., after a police officer saw her holding an open beer w hile sitting in a car outsid e a party. The d river of the car was not drinking. C ivil citations also w ere issued to several other juveniles, police say. The maximum penalty for underage posses­ sion is $500. The family is dealing with Sarah's sit­ uation privately, Mrs. Gore said, "talk­ ing to her like all fam ilies should to their teen-agers about the availability of alcohol and the fact the temptations are out there." Unpaid prostitute cuts off part of client’s organ ■ NEW YORK — An enraged prosti­ tute cut off part of a client's penis after he refused to pay her for her services, police said.

Tuesday, police were still searching for the severed organ and the woman. Morales, a retired trucker, was in stable condition after undergoing surgery.

Best know n as an auteu r of the silent era, K eaton is the trag i­ com ic figure o f A m erican film. W earing a dead pan face and a porkpie hat, K eaton portrayed the com m on m an confronting a w orld of problem s w ith pluck, stoicism and im placable grace. U nperturbed by the likes of cascad ing boulders, roaring rapids or falling houses, K eaton survived 34 silent shorts and 13 featu res inclu d ing his m asterpiece, The G eneral. M ad e on the cusp of the sound era, The G eneral displays K eaton 's m astery of the m edium . He w rote, directed and starred in the feature that m any consid er the greatest silent com edy ever m ade. D espite his ability, how ever, K eaton failed to m ake the transition from sileints to talkies. Because his hu m or d epended on situations, not w ords, and the stud io system treated artists as ju st the m edia o f com ­ m ercial m ovie-m aking, the com ing of sound dim m ed his stardom . Sad ly, the m an w ho ou tm aneu vered a m alevolen t universe in his ow n film s succum bed to the control of studio execs, and in the 40 years of life rem aining to him after he m ade The G eneral, he only found parts that parodied him self or his era.

W hether it's a m islead ­ ing ad or a national hero such as O .J. Sim pson, everything seem s to lose its luster upon closer exam ination. A s such, it is nothing less than rem arkable that the m ore C olin P ow ell's surface is scratched , the m ore he shines. T h o u g h p u n d its p red icted P o w e ll's im ag e w ould be tarnished once he announced his view s on controversial subjects, his popularity contin­ ues to rise. In the latest CN N poll cond u cted in N ew H am p shire, a key prim ary state, Pow ell fin­ ished ahead of both D ole and C linton. W hy has P ow ell's supp ort grow n rather than shru nk since he has gone p u blic w ith his positions? First, his m oderate view s are in tune w ith the politics of m ost A m ericans. O n econ om ic issues, he favors b alancing the bud get but end orses low ­ ering taxes only w h ere it is possible and respon ­ sible. But on issues such as abortion, gun control, im m igration and school prayer, Pow ell d istin ­ guishes h im self from conservatives w h o w ant to ban abortion, brand ish w eapons, blam e im m i­ grants and brainw ash students. Since polls show that A m ericans are increasingly fiscally conserv a­ tive but w orried about social radicalism , Pow ell's continued popularity can be partially attributed to the correspond ence o f his view s w ith those of m ainstream A m erica. Y et this does not explain w hy those on the polar end s o f our political spectrum have not abandoned Pow ell. A fter h earing P ow ell's fiscal­ ly conserv ativ e ideology, how can liberals like U.S. Rep. K w eisi M fum e, D -M d., still have kind w ords for him ? Likew ise, how can those on the religious right like C hristian C oalition C hairm an Ralph Reed still praise Pow ell after hearing his liberal social view s? O ne obviou s reason is that people are reluctant to criticize Pow ell in light o f his distinguished record. A n other explanation is the subtle and thoughtful m ann er in w hich P ow ell has stated his positions on these issues. W hile opposing school prayer, he has acknow led ged the im portance of relig io n . W h ile sayin g he is p ro -ch o ice, h e expresses h is personal preference for life. Even though m ost A m ericans p ro bab ly d isagree w ith Pow ell on one issue or another, this kind of tem ­ pered rhetoric sm ooths ov er these differences. The final factor that exp lain s P ow ell's con tin ­ ued popularity is the p u blic's d esire for presid en­ tial lead ership. As the presid ent enjoys su p rem a­ cy in foreign affairs w hile the C o n g ress prim arily controls dom estic m atters, the end o f the Cold W ar has w eakened the p resid en t's policy-m aking role. C onsequently, m ost A m ericans w ould sacri­ fice agreem ent on every policy issu e in ord er to have a m oral lead er w ho can use the presidency as a bully pu lpit to un ite the nation. Since the end of the Cold W ar, neith er Bush nor C linton has b een able to assum e the m antle of m oral leadership. Bush, w hile a good and hon or­ able man, had little to say on dom estic issues and, as dem onstrated by his shock at seeing a m agnet­ ic scanner in a superm arket, w as too detached from the average person. C linton has been h am ­ pered by his w ishy -w ash y stances, shad y land deals and sexual escap ades. In a society w h ere p risons are the fastest-g ro w ­ ing segm ent of the construction ind u stry, A m eri­ cans feel that w e have lost a sen se o f shared val­ ues. They know that law s alone are not enou gh to w eave to g eth er ou r fragm ented social fabric. Instead, the p u blic is looking for a p resid en t with lead ership and integrity w ho can establish a dia­ logue with those w h o are d isconnected from soci­ ety, w h eth er they be black or w hite. As long as A m ericans see these fundam ental qualities in G eneral Pow ell, no am ount of scratch ­ ing by the m edia will w ear off his luster. Levin is a sophomore in Plan II.

"The jury hopefully con­ sidered the evidence more than they considered race. Certainly race is im p o rta n t, but it's not the m ost important thing." Students and faculty alike agreed that the discovery of the Fuhrman tapes helped Simpson's case. "What it really came down to was the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses, and one of their witness­ es was positively a racist," said Luis Reyes, a second-year law student. "Also, more than half the jury mem­ bers were African-Americans who p r o b a b ly had bee n e x p o se d to racism before." Students said they were glad to see lu esd ay 's end of the Simpson saga, which began with the deaths of N ic o le B ro w n S im p s o n and Ronald Goldman in June 1994.

E n a b lin g the In fo rm a tio n Age UNIVERSITY ART OF STEEL 6 T h e D a il y T e x a n WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4,1995 Fans may get more floor seats at basketball games JENNIFER SCHULTZ Daily Texan Staff Students may have a good shot at. getting better seats at home basketball games, Student Governm ent Presi­ dent Sherry Boyles said after a Tues­ day meeting Tuesday with UT men's athletic officials. DeLoss Dodds, director of m en's athletics, said the University will sup­ ply a minimum of 44 floor seats for students at home games this season. Students may receive up to 120 seats at some games, Boyles said. The new student seats will be at the north end of the Frank C. Erwin Jr. Special Events Center, "in front of the band and in front of the student [sec­ tion]," Dodds said. D odds said the extra seats w ill make the area cramped, but it will be w orth it if the change brings more students to the games. M en's basketball coach Tom Pen­ ders said these floor seats w ill be great ones for students. "These are the $l,000-a-game tick­ ets for the Knicks in New York. That's where W oody Allen and Spike Lee sit," Penders said. home game. The additional seats fulfill one cam­ paign promise of Boyles and SG Vice President Brandon Bichler who said they also are happy with the progress they have made in attaining better seats at basketball games. "I think it is a good start as we try to increase participation at basketball games," Bichler said. Bichler said he believes that if student attendance at games increases, the players, students and alumni will all benefit. "Part of the unity on campus has to do w ith su p p o rtin g the ca m p u s' sporting teams," Bichler said. Boyles said she hopes the addition­ al seats will also help to unify the stu­ dents at the games. "It's not that we want more seats. Let's look at the number of students who go and accommodate them, not put them up into the balcony," Boyles said. Previously, 500-1,000 arena seats were reserved for students and more than 3,000 seats were available in the upper deck, Penders said. He added th at on average only 1 ,00 0 -2 ,5 0 0 stu d en ts atten d each While students consistently did not fill these reserved seats, season ticket holders were being turned away. Sea­ son tickets cost $4,000 for non-stu­ dents, and 9,000 season tickets have been sold for next season. Penders said that if students sup­ ported bask etball more regu larly, they would have more arena seats. "I would like to see the arena full of 9,000 students, but I don't pay the bills around here," Penders said. Boyles said the fact that students are not guaranteed good seats may discourage a high student turnout. "Students are just kind of pushed off into the corner," Boyles said. Dodds said he is more than willing to satisfy the wants of the students. "Students are our best customers. We want to treat students fairly ," Dodds said. An SG ad hoc com m ittee w hich Boyles has formed will plan out the specifics of how the tickets for the new seats will be allocated. Boyles and Dodds will meet again this month to finalize the details of the seats. André Yi, a studio art senior, attempted to weld a steel rod into the shape of a circle Tuesday after­ noon in the sculpture labs located behind the Art Building. Yi said that in his sculpture class the stu­ dents can use all media, but sculpting with metal requires a little trial and error. MICHELLE CHRISTENSON/Daily Texan Staff Campus groups to question Doggett at ‘town hall’ forum EVAN JOHNSON Daily Texan Staff Several student organizations are gearing up for U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett's visit to cam­ pus W ednesday, where they expect him to talk about federal financial aid and other issues affecting students. Both liberal groups like the U niversity Democrats, the extent's sponsor, and conserv­ ative groups like the College Republicans will send rep resen tativ es to hear D oggett, D- Austin, discuss events and issues in Washing­ ton, D.C, that will directly influence the Uni­ versity. The forum will be held in room 3.134 of the University Teaching Center. "M r. Doggett will basically be holding a [town hall] meeting with students," said Josh Coger, projects director of the U niversity D em ocrats. "H e'll talk for a few mom ents and then open up to questions from students. He'll probably cover anything from funding for public broadcasting to student loans." Doggett will also discuss "w hat Congress has done that hurts the middle class and the Republican assault on a w om an's right to choose," said Jeff Nelson, a spokesman for Doggett's office. A representative from the College Republi­ can s said th at th ou gh CR m em bers w ill a tten d the event, she w ished it w as not Democrat-sponsored. "I'm kind of disappointed that he's being brought in in a partisan manner, because he does represent everyon e in A u stin ," said Paula Frey, public relations chairman of the College Republicans, which distributes anti- Doggett bumper stickers in West Mall. "But I would say that he has stuck with his promis­ es, although we disagree with those promis­ es." But members of other groups, such as Stu­ dents for Choice, said they favor Doggett's stand on some issues. "W e support Lloyd Doggett," said Jessica Strickell, secretary-treasurer of Students for Choice. "W e're one of the groups that helped get him elected. I am very happy to see him up there” in Washington D.C. The Student Lifesavers, a campus pro-life group, did not share Strickell's sentim ents about Doggett. "A lthough Lloyd Doggett thinks that he represents the students of this campus, unfor­ tunately, he w on't be doing so for long; he will never represent the 4,545 would-be stu­ dents that w ere aborted today due to his abso lu tely asinin e pro-death, anti-fam ily agenda," said Sonia M ohammed, executive director of Young Conservatives of Texas and president of Student Lifesavers. Some other non-partisan groups also hope to get Doggett to address their issues. "M em bers of University of Texas Hemp C am p aig n p lan to ask R e p re se n ta tiv e Doggett what he's doing to put justice back into the criminal justice system," said Doug Lewin, president of the UT marijuana legal­ ization group. Cas Purdy, an advertising freshman and m em ber of Lesbian Bisexual Gay Student A sso c ia tio n , said re p re se n ta tiv e s from LBGSA want Doggett to address homosexual issues. "The big focus is on how schools are deal­ ing with the gay issue. I think that is our main concern — how schools react and deal with homosexual students," Purdy said. "I think that there is a lot of discrimination out there, but I am hoping that public schools will take a pro-active stance on discrimination." But Suzanne Sanders, chairman of College Republicans, said students should not place such faith in Doggett. Dorms request residents’ input KEVIN FITCHARD D aily Texan S taff _________________ T h e new d ir e c to r o f h o u s in g an d foo d announced Tuesday that students will have input on the quality of food served in dorm cafeterias. "W e are proposing a round table," said Floyd Hoelting, director of housing and food service, at a U n iv ersity R esid en ce Hall A sso ciatio n m eeting Tuesday. "The people who eat at the cafeterias will have q chance to give opinions about what w e're doing with food service." The University Residence Hall Association is a D ivision of H ousing and Food Service organiza­ tion, composed of members from the 12 on-campus residence halls. The representatives make decisions that affect students living in residence halls. The student round table, which Hoelting said is part of his ongoing com m itm ent to w orking with dorm residents, will consist of three resident assis­ tants, three members of the association, and a few housing and food representatives. It's an opportunity for us to gripe," said Josh K night, U n iv ersity R esid en ce H all A sso ciatio n president, jokingly. vice and living conditions in the dormitories, both with his own ideas and input from students who live there. So in the first w eek o f the sem ester, Hoelting moved into the Beauford H. Jester Center to get closer to the residents. Now in his second month as a Jester resident, H oelting said he has no com p lain ts, though he does not see his family very often. Hoelting added that he has gotten to know quite a few students from all areas of the dorm. "H e's new, but he'll have a reallv positive effect here, said Jill Vincent, University Residence Hall Association national communications coordinator, who is in contact with other residence hall associa­ tions in the country. "H e's really looking to get people involved." Hoelting said he plans to add a lot more variety to the d o rm ito ries' cafeteria fare but could not comment yet on the specifics. Cafeterias are planning to work w ith several of the m inority and cultural groups around campus to produce a series of cultural dinners, Hoelting said.

O fficia ls of the D istin g u ish ed Speakers C om m ittee said Tuesday they will be on the West Mall Monday videotaping student questions for Clinton, and the president is expected to answer as many as possible. "He's doing us a favor by coming to campus," said Jane Cummins, chair of the committee. C um m ins also offered the first insights as to what Clinton might talk about in his speech, saying "he will mainly be addressing student issues," including financial aid. The speech will be titled "From Campus to the White House," and it will include his own experiences as a student and his philosophy on higher education. In a separate a meeting Tuesday, Student G overnm ent officials d is­ cussed the videotaped questions to Clinton and other ways students can communicate with federal legislators. O fficials are looking for w ays to establish long-term communications between students and U.S. legislators about federal financial aid cuts, said Ellice Perez, SG citizens affairs director. "W e are working on getting post­ cards sent to students with facts about financial aid," said Brian Greeney, Leg^ islative Relations Agency co-director. He said the postcards would detail cu rren t p ro p o sals in W ashin g ton regard ing fin an cial aid cuts and would allow students to communicate their opinions about those and other issues directly to legislators. "Financial aid is som ething that affects everybody," Greeney said. He added that cuts "w ould affect more than just people who receive financial aid" because universities might have to raise tuition and fees to compensate for the loss, and people with aid might be forced to go to other, cheaper uni­ versities. Some SG members also will address federal financial aid concerns at the first annual National Association of Students for Higher Education confer­ ence Oct. 13-15 in Washington, D.C. NASHE, which SG President Sherry Boyles co-founded, is a new student lobbying organization almost exclu­ sively concerned with financial aid matters. The government also will begin its voter registration drive Wednesday on the West Mall. "We are going to try to get people to register to vote and to actually get people to go vote. We need to make students realize there are many issues affecting them," Smith said. "We cer­ tainly don't want the student vote to be neglected." DO YOU HAYC Tension HCADACHCS?

"T h is is just another nail in the coffin." Jacob son w ent on to call Sibley's p ro p o sal "political posturin g" and "a violation of the Fourth Am endm ent." The Second A m endm ent guarantees the right to bear arm s, w hile the fourth protects again st illegal searches and seizures.

Page 8 Wednesday, October 4,1995 t h e Da i l y T e x a n Paper food stamp system nears replacement by ‘Lone Star card’ N ew program to increase security, save millions of state dollars 44 This card now makes The plan has come under some fire from advo­ cates of the poor, becau se the card allow s no cash to change hands. Som e users w ould buy food with stamps and take change to buy other items such as toiletries or laundry detergent. Texas Comptroller John Sharp stood in what w ill b e c o m e a d in o sa u r T u e sd a y and bid farewell to traditional food stamps in Texas. Associated Press Standing in the largest food stamp warehouse in the nation outside the U.S. Treasury, Sharp pointed out the last 55,441 paper food stamps to be used by Texans in the state. By the end of October, the state's new Elec­ tronic Benefit Transfer system will be up and running statew id e. C entral T exas is the final region to stop using paper food stamps and start using a plastic debit card, called the Lone Star card , to d e d u ct e le c tr o n ic a lly fro m a sta te account. "T h is card now m akes the food stam p pro­ gram in the state of Texas the most efficient, the most fraud-proof that exists in the United States of America," Sharp said. The new system has been in the works since 1991 and has been phased in throughout 1995. H ouston, the first area to get the new Lone Star card, has seen food sales rise by $4.5 million, a month. And that was with no new benefits and even a drop in the number of people on the pro­ gram, Sharp said. The Dallas-Fort Worth area similarly has seen the food stamp program in the state of Texas the most efficient, the most fraud-proof that exists in the United States of America.” — Texas Comptroller John Sharp "T h is little card doesn't work in a downtown street corner in H ouston, Texas, buying crack cocaine or something that you're not supposed to bu y," Sharp said. The card also provides users m ore security, w hich is reflected in its use across the state. W hereas people used to deplete their food stamp supply in the early days of a month for fear of losing their stamps or having them stolen, those using the Lone Star card may use benefits equal­ ly over an entire month. By Novem ber, more than 64,000 households will use the new Lone Star card at 16,000 retail­ ers. Mary Fero, program manager at Transactive Corp., the private company that won the right to implement the system, said her company is pro­ cessing 250,000 transactions a day. But state officials say the food stamp program w as never m eant for th ose p u rposes. W h at's more, much of the time change was used to buy drugs, cigarettes, alcohol. " Y o u 'r e seein g the food stam p p ro g ram , I believe, returned to w hat its original purpose was, and that is feed poor kids and not feed part of an underground econom y that should have never been there to begin w ith," Sharp said. The state and nation stand to save millions of dollars in costs for printing, collecting, sorting, counting and shredding paper tickets. Sharp spoke at the M agic Valley Distribution warehouse, which used to employ 50 people. It now employs just 12. Nancy Ward, manager at Magic Valley, said it was a "b ittersw ee t" mom ent for the company, which was created to distribute food stamps. But the com pany supports the new system , w hich she called "b e st for the clients and best for the taxpayers." "Y ou can't stand in the way of progress," she said, adding that the company would survive. m T » ,• /* - n ‘ _____ M w E— ------------------- A SSO C IA T E D P R E S S Texas Comptroller John Sharp speaks about the new food stam p system . food sales rise by $5.7 million. Bush names 2 Supreme Court justices Associated Press G ov. G eorge W. Bush appointed two fellow Republicans to the Texas Suprem e Court Tues­ day, giving the party a 7-2 majority on the state's highest civil court. Appellate Judge James A. Baker of Dallas was sworn in immediately to fill the vacancy left by the Sept. 1 resignation of Justice Bob Gammage. State District Judge Greg Abbott of Houston will replace Justice Jack Hightower beginning Jan. 1, 1996. Gammage and Hightower are both Democrats. "T h is is a h isto ric day for our state. R arely does a governor get to appoint anybody to the Suprem e Court, and I get to appoint two fine Texans," Bush said. Baker, 64, has served on the 5th District Court of A p p eals in D allas for n in e y e a rs and has earned consistently high marks in the Dallas Bar Association poll. "T h is position offers op portunity, it entails responsibility and it presents a challenge," Baker said . " I a ccep t the o p p o rtu n ity . I accep t the responsibility. And I accept the challenge. A bbott, 37, p resid es over the 129th D istrict Court in Houston and has topped the list of out­ standing state judges compiled by the Houston Bar Association every year since his election in 1992. The timing of H ightow er's resignation works for Abbott, who is wheelchair-bound after a par­ alyzing jogging accident, because he will not be eligible to serve on the Supreme Court until Nov. 8. Judges must serve for 10 years before being eli­ gible for the high court. Hightower announced in June his intention to quit at the end of the year. "It's a position of tremendous responsibility to be on the Texas Supreme Court," Abbott said. " I accep t the ap p o in tm en t from G ov. Bush w ith fu ll u n d e rs ta n d in g o f th e ro le o f th e Supreme Court and the role that it plays in our lives and lives of all Texans. The judges "bring experience and innovation, legal scholarship, trial expertise, fair judgm ent and sound tem peram ent" to the Supreme Court, and they share "m y co n servative philosophy about the judiciary," Bush said. "Judges should interpret the laws as passed by the Legislature, nob make law s from the court­ room ," he said. They should also campaign for their seats on the bench, the govern or said. H is exp erien ce appointing Baker and Abbott did not change his mind about Texas' system of judicial selection. Both men must run for election next year to keep their seats on the court. "I think it's good for Texas if they ask for the vote," Bush said. Gam m age and other supporters of reforming the current system of partisan elections for the ju d iciary said the ap p o in tm en ts w ould focus attention on judicial selection. L aw m akers debated a p ro p o sal d uring the 1995 Legislature to change the system of partisan e le c tio n s for ju d g e s in to a sy ste m by w h ich judges would be appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Texas Senate, but the measure failed. Both Baker and A bbott say they agree w ith Bush in advocating the current system. " I think the present system is what we need in Texas. That's the way I came in ," Baker said. "It's beneficial to me, so why knock it?" Both men said they would comply with new voluntary cam paign finance guidelines, which were supported by Bush and passed by the 1995 Legislature. Gammage, however, said the new justices will learn to dislike the selection system. " I don't think it will take them long to change their m inds," he said. "W hen they have to try to do this job and w age that p artisam b attle out there, their perspective will probably change." Houston mayor tied to FBI investigation Associated Press H O U STO N — FBI agents are in v e stig a tin g w h eth er o ffic ia ls w orking for M avor Bob L anier benefited from a collections con­ tract awarded to a longtime asso­ ciate of the m ayor, the H ouston Chronicle reported Tuesday. U n id e n tifie d so u r c e s c o n ­ firmed the probe in the newspa­ per's Tuesday editions. The Asso­ ciated Press confirm ed the story w ith an u n id en tified source on Tuesday. At issue is a 1993 city contract with M unicipal Collections Inc. to p u rsu e d e lin q u e n t tr a ffic and p a rk in g tic k e t re v e n u e . T h e agency is owned by Peary Perry, a private investigator with long­ standing ties to Lanier. L a n ie r sp o k e sw o m a n P a ig e Cullison said Tuesday the mayor has not been contacted by investi­ gators. Lanier told the Chronicle M onday that any speculation he is a target of an investigation is "a total fabrication." The FBI in Houston would not comment on the story when con­ tacted Tuesday. The sources fam iliar w ith the in v estigatio n told the C hron icle that federal agents are casting a wide net in their quest for infor­ mation, interviewing figures con­ nected to the collection contract. A m o n g th e q u e s tio n s are w h eth er a n y o n e in th e L a n ie r ad m in istratio n benefited fin an­ c ia lly fro m th e c o n tra c t and w h eth er a 19 p ercen t m ino rity subcontracting agreement includ­ ed in the pact was lawful.

At issue is a 1993 city contract with Munici­ pal Collections Inc. to pursue delinquent traffic and parking ticket revenue. The agency is owned by Peary Perry, a private investigator with longstanding ties to Lanier. L an ier can celed the co n tra ct between Perry's firm and the city in August after an audit by Con­ troller George Greanias conclud­ ed the firm was overpaid an esti­ mated $1 million. L an ier has sh arp ly d isp u ted the audit findings, and said the m a tte r w o u ld b e re s o lv e d in court. Municipal Collections sued the city last w eek for breach of contract. Among those being questioned are business associates of Perry, said Richard M orrison, attorney for the agency. M o rriso n an d P e rry d en ied that collusion or cronyism played a role in aw ard in g or m an ag e­ m ent of the collections contract, and predicted the investigation would come to nothing. The Chronicle reported that fed­ eral grand jury subpoeanas could go out this week for documents pertaining to the investigation. Another source said investigators already have collected numerous docum ents relevant to the con ­ tract.

Unfortunately, so does The Complete Book o f Beer Drinking Games, by Andy Griscom, Ben Rand and Scott Johnston. This is a book you really want to like. In fact, it will probably be the book to supplant Final Exit as the book most often borrowed but never returned. And it is funny... once. The second time through, it's only mildly amusing. And the third time it is as bland as the Federal Tax Code. As a reference book, Beer Drinking Games shows its real weakness. No one can pretend to include every pos­ sible version of a drinking game in 144 pages, especially when 16 pages are wasted (no pun intended) on some lame "Beer Curriculum" joke. For example, these guys mess up one of the most well-known drinking games in the nation: quarters. They left out the rules. Everyone knows when you play quarters, if you hit three or more times in a row (the number depending on the skill of the players), you get to make a rule. The authors of Beer Drinking Games take it upon themselves to set rules at the beginning of the book and say such house rules should apply to all drinking games. What are these guys, drunks or elemen­ tary school teachers? All the answers to this book's to one problem s can be traced source: The authors are all Yalies. So while they are legitimate college stu­ dents, and (if you believe their sto­ ries) legitimate drunks, do we really want graduates of George Bush's alma mater telling us how to play drinking games? A u t h o r s o f a d r in k in g g a m e s m a n ife s to s p it fo r a c c u r a c y , n o t d is t a n c e . What's more, do we want imbib­ ing instruction from Yankees? Grant­ ed, Boston gave us Samuel Adams, but have you ever tried to pound one of those? They seem to like Texas beers (Lone Star and Pearl get men­ tioned), so they're not all bad. But Yankees? No thanks. The book is not a total loss. Some of Beer Drinking Games' more obscure games fun (although no one I know has dis­ played the guts to play them). Beer Hunter, in particular, stands out from the crowd. look pretty In this game for suicidal maniacs who aren't crazy enough to kill themselves, two players need a six- pack of beer in cans. The players are blindfolded, or close their eyes, or whatever, and a third person shakes one of the cans. Then the cans are switched around so that no one knows where the loaded can is. Then, player 1 takes any can, puts it under his nose, and pulls the top. If he BEER DRNKNG GAMES A u t h o r: Andy Griscom, Ben Rand, Scott Johnston P u b lis h e r : Mustang Publishing Co. P r ic e : $8.95 gets sprayed, he's dead. If he doesn't get sprayed, he's still alive. Then play­ er 2 does the same, and so on, until someone gets drenched. Then the winner is blindfolded, a new player joins the game, and the loser has to drink all the open beers. This mix of brews and suspense sounds good (by the way, they call it Beer Hunter because of the Russian roulette scene in the movie The Deer Hunter). So, do read this book — there are some fun games contained therein. Read it at the library, read it at the book store, read a friend's copy. But don't buy it. The authors would just blow the money on beer. A am riN rti KBgjDD 9 m 0d dkMOrwoB* i t o p w fax*.

Produced by local B u tth ole Surfer Paul Leary, No Joke carries with it the broken prom ise of im provem ent ov er their last few paltry releases. In all fairness, Leary ad ds a few inter­ estin g touches to their sound, m ain­ ly in the form of ov erd u bb ed noise, rem iniscent o f the interesting m usic he used to m ake in the '80s. H ow ever, the few to u ches Leary adds are precisely that: few. O ther than the tw o "ro ck e rs" w hich open each sid e of the albu m — that is, if im a g in e m u sic by w e can still S u z y A m is is C a s s a n d r a in Nadja. pheric m om ents in N adja are m ore attem pted than successful. M any of the pauses and im ages seem poorly thought out or half-d eveloped . T here is an in ven tive note of bitter self-m ockery in the d ialogu e ("M y sister is sending m e a psychic fax .") and a penchant for cam p y m om ents — a vam pire p u ppet cackles at the cam era, a close up o f L u g o si's eyes appears during a m onologue. The sum effect is on e of halfheart­ edn ess. The film exists neither in one w orld nor another. It is neither thriller nor poetry, but a disgust w-ith the form er and cow ard ice in the face of the latter. The ending seem s rushed and choppy.

Cox said he had been in late-game sit­ uations where he was forced to send a pitcher to the plate. "It happens," he said. Baylor, in his third year as manager, said it was a first for him. "B u t I know when I pinch-hit for my catcher, I'm asking for trouble later. That w asn't the ballgame, though.

Chipper Jones, how ­ ever, was. As for Don Baylor, the Colorado m an­ ager ran out of position players with two outs in the ninth and the bases loaded. Baylor had to use left-handed pitcher Lance Painter as a pinch-hitter. Painter struck out. The result was a 5-4 victory by the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night in the opener of their NL playoff series, the first postseason game in the Rockies' three-year history. Jones' second solo homer broke a 4-4 tie in the ninth to win it for Atlanta. In the eighth, with runners on first and third, Jones also made a key defensive play, making a diving stop of Andres Galarraga's shot down the third-base line and throwing out a runner at sec­ ond. Instead of a big inning, the Rockies managed only one run. "T h e play Jones made down the line was probably the gam e-w inner for them ," Baylor said. "T h at's a two-run double if he doesn't make the play. Then he hits the game-winning home run." Jones said his stop was "ju st a reac­ tion play. Andres has a tendency to hit some balls down the third-base line for doubles. I saw it was an off-speed pitch and was sort of leaning that way. The only way I'm going to make that play is to lay out. If it sticks, hopefully we get an out. If it doesn't, they probably have a big inning. Luckily, it stuck." Jones hit an inside fastball for the decisive homer, then hopped around the bases in jubilation. " I was looking for a certain pitch and got that exact pitch," he said. "It was a tremendous thrill. In a big situation, with the game on the line in the ninth, it was probably my biggest career high- light." Asked if he still considered Jones to Best of seven Texas hits the field fo r its annual Orange-White Fall World Series MARK LIVINGSTON Daily Texan Staff It may not be the College World Series. It may not even be as important as a non-conference game during the regular spring sea­ son. But for the Longhorns, the Orange-White Fall World Series is the heaviest and most important competition that will happen during the off-season. The seven-game intrasquad series starts at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday and will end Oct. 11, closing the Longhorns' fall practices. The team is divided into two teams, Orange and White, and lasts the full seven games, whatever the outcome of any of the games. The Orange team will be led by assistant coach Deron Gustafson, while top assistant coach Tommy Harmon will coach the White team. "I feel like it's the most competitive thing they do in the fall," Texas head coach Cliff Gustafson said. "If s the best opportunity to watch guys under real game situations." The importance of the series lies in players who are either border­ line starters or on the bubble of making the squad. Due to Title IX, which guarantees gender equity in college sports, the team can only carry 36 players this year. Veterans such as left fielder Chris Edelstein, centerfielder Brett Loeffler, third baseman MacGregor Byers, shortstop Kip Harkrider, second baseman Wylie Campbell and first baseman Danny Peoples most likely have their jobs locked up for the spnng. Other positions, however, are wide open. "We're having a good battle for the catcher spot between Roman Escamilla and Trey Salinas," Gustafson said. "They could do some­ thing toward settling that battle." A season ago, Escamilla started playing late in the year and hit a surprising .392, although he only had 51 at-bats. Salinas finished the season with a significantly lower average at .255 in 55 at-bats. Sali­ nas, however, gathered ten runs batted in, while Escamilla had just two. As it has been all fall, the most scrutinized position will probably be the pitcher.
