Rove presented his ideas during a luncheon at a p nublican National C om m ittee w inter m e ti,. , Frid a" advocating his priorities as a way for R epublicans to win the upcom ­ ing national election. He said every race will be close this year because recent elections have show n that the is even ly split b etw een cou n try R epublicans and D em ocrats. ‘ All gains ;n every party are like­ ly to be m easured in inches anu feet and yards, not m iles, and w hat will result in victory is the grass-roots activity o f our party," he said. In addition, R ove said the nation is w inning the war against terror­ ism, and President Bush and his war Cabinet will continue the effort no m atter how long it takes because the goal is critical to the country and the world. Rove said the war effort will require a new toughness and increased aware­ ness to defend America's homeland. The new techniques should start by protecting borders and calling on \merican people to play an active roll defending the nation at home, he id. 'Sept. 11 changed the nature of forever," Rove said. "It is no er a contest fought on distant b. h e s a n d f a r a w a y la n d s .S e p t .il brought the evil hom e to the United States, and now it is im portant for us to m ake the changes necessary at hom e to do a better job of protecting the hom elan d ." S m ROVE, P age 2 Gerry McCarthy 'Dailv Texan Staff Karl Rove, senior adviser to President Bush, spoke at the Republican National Committee Winter Meeting Saturday. The committee elected former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot as its new chairman. Increased student involvement encouraged Student leaders presented UT adm inistrators with a pro­ posal of their own Friday, suggesting potential alternatives to the proposed infrastructure fee. Student G overnm ent President Matt H am m ond and Jarrad Toussant, SC vice president, presented the counterproposal "Partnership for the Future: The Students' Response-" at the President Student Advisory Com m ittee m eeting Friday. If the UT System Board of Regents approves the fee, the University would charge students an initial fee of $230 per sem ester for students enrolled in seven hours or m ore next fall. The fee would also increase by $50 annually fo r the next five years. "W e had to act quickly, so this was the best collaboration and m ost realistic proposal that we could com e up with that would benefit students," said 1 lammond, a governm ent senior. T h e proposal states that if students agreed to pay $115 for one vear to offset the University's essential costs, the adm inis­ tration must begin an aggressive cam paign in the next legisla­ tive session to lobby for increased funding. "Students understand that there is a need ," Hamm ond said. "B u t we d on't feel it is the students' responsibility to fund the University at the level that they're asking us to." See SG, Page 5 Racicot to head GOP national committee By M iguel Liscano Daily Texan Staff 1 he Republican National C om m ittee elected form er Montana Gov. Marc Racicot as its chairman Friday, despite crit­ ics' concerns about his obligations to a Houston-based law firm. Racicot, who was recommended by President George W. Bush, replaced form er Virginia Cov. Jam es Gilmore who resigned the same day, but Racicot has faced criticism tor con­ tinuing to w ork as a partner at the law firm of Bracewell and Patterson LLP while he serves as chairman. During the RNC winter meeting, Racicot downplayed the charges of conflict of interest and outlined what he would do as chairman. "A s a fellow Republican, I want to issue a call-to-arm s to you, the leaders of the committee, to seize this moment to think and act anew, to enliven and transform our party with a pur­ pose and a cause greater than our individual lives," he said. The Republican Party should focus on energy security, trans­ portation improvements, free trade and protecting the envi­ ronment, he said, adding that the party must focus on outreach efforts to minorities, the nation's youth and women. H e said there are still some moral and ethical contractual obligations that he must fulfill at his Houston office without causing tiny conflict, but Racicot said he has provided every degree of safeguard to ensure that he can proceed with "absolute integrity" in his new position. For example, he will no longer lobby, but only provide strategic advice for clients.

Still, residents picked their way across hardening slabs of lava, returning home to this town demolished by a volcanic eruption. With most of the tens of thousands who fled last week’s eruptior^ already returned, a volcano expert declared the area reasonably safe despite continuing earth tremors. ► See CONGO, Page 3 Vendor halts Kmart shipments DALLAS — Kmart Corp.’s troubles escalat­ ed Monday when its primary food and con­ sumables supplier cut off most shipments due to the troubled discounter’s failure to make its weekly payment. Reming Cos., based in suburban Dallas, said Kmart owes it $78 million. Reming is the latest supplier to have stopped shipping to Kmart to reduce its risk if the company files for Chapter 11 bank­ ruptcy. Scotts Co., a maker of lawn and gar­ den products, decided last week that it would d e l^ shipments. However, the latest develop­ ment poses the biggest crisis for Kmart, whose grocery offerings drive traffic. Israeli troops take over town TULKAREM, West Bank — Israeli troops searched homes and traded fire with Palestinians as the military took over an entire Palestinian town Monday, a first in 16 months of fighting and another blow to belea­ guered Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Troops firing tank-mounted machine guns fought with Palestinian militiamen and round­ ed up suspected militants. Two Palestinians were killed and 24 wounded. Israel said the seizure was in response to lethai anacKs on Israelis. The Palestinians accused Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of trying to bring down Arafat. New detainees arrive in Cuba GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — Fourteen detainees from the war in Afghanistan arrived on stretchers at this U.S. base Monday, as new questions arose about the treatment and legal status of its inmates. The military cargo plane that arrived was the sixth flight bringing detainees from the U.S. base at Kandahar in Afghanistan. The detainees wore blackedout goggles and appeared to have their arms strapped to their bodies. U.S. officials say the restraints are needed because some captives have threat­ ened to kill their American guards. Abortion restrictions criticized On the 29th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, groups called for Roman Catholic hospitals to ease restrictions on emergency abortions and contraceptive proce­ dures. The American Civil Liberties Union and MergerWatch said policies at the hospitals infringe on employees and patients with differ­ ent religious beliefs. The reports note that America's 618 Catholic hospitals serve people of all faiths, including many patients whose bills are paid by Medicaid ahd Medicare.

Still, residents picked their way across hard­ ening slabs of lava, returning home to a town demolished by a volcanic erup­ tion. With most of the tens of thousands who fled last week's eruption already returned, a volcano expert declared the area reasonably safe despite continuing earth tremors. He said there were no indications Mount Nyiragongo would e r u p t again soon and that all lava flows had halted. Residents scoured cooling, tongues of lava for scorched sh e e ts of corrugated iron to use as roofs for makeshift dwellings. Lava destroyed about 40 per­ cent of Are dty at th e h e a d of Lake Kivu. U.N. officials said th e y were concerned about water and air quality. And the blast a t the gas station M onday morning showed the dangers as residents try tfc m ove in. Lava appar­ ently igrdtec* fumes of gasoline and diesel fuel at the station, detonating a series of massive fireballs that sent a cloud of jet-black sm oke into the sky. More than a dozen 50-gallon barrels in the station storeroom exploded for hours, sen d in g 100-foot flames skyward and engulfing the building. No bodies were visible outside. People were trying to scoop fuel into containers from the already burned- out station when the first explosion hit. One witness said 50 people were killed, but soldiers from the rebel organization that controls Goma said 30 died, some of them women and children. in the -phere have been unconfirmed reports that as m any as 40 people were killed initial eruption on Thursday, when M ount Nyiragongo — 30 mile8 to the north — sent out streams of lava that destroyed some 14 villages and ran through the center of Goma. Jacques Durieux, a vulcanologist at the French Group for the Study of Active Volcanoes, said the worst of the eruption appeared to be over. He said continuing earthquakes caused by the settling of the area w ere the only threat. "The active phase of the volcanic A fireball and black sm oke billow from downtown Goma, Congo, Monday after lava flows from a volcanic eruption ignit­ ed a gas station, killing at least 30 people who were trying to syphon fuel from the tanks, witnesses said. eruption is finished," said Durieux, con­ tracted by the United Nations to assess the situation. In New York, Stephen Johnson of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said officials were trying to determine w hether the air and w ater were safe for Com a's 500,000 res­ idents. Johnson said the United Nations expects to appeal Tuesday for $15 mil­ lion in immediate assistance including food and other items, coordination efforts and future assessments. Laura Melo, spokeswoman for the U.N. World Food Program, said no more than 40,000 of the 300,(XX) people who fled eastward to neighboring Rwanda in the wake of the eruption last week remained there. Others had fled west, deeper into Congo. In Gisenyi, nearby in Rwanda, U.N. emergency relief official Ross Mountain said he would consult with Congolese and Rwandan authorities on how to provide aid to the 10,000 families whose homes were destroyed by lava. He said U.N. officials were reluctant to begin a major aid operation in Goma until the city was considered safe. As residents in Goma checked their homes and searched for materials to rebuild, Rwandan-backed rebel soldiers who control the area fired shots to warn Associated Press looters. Patnck Mazimhaka, Rwanda's envoy to peace talks in Congo's civil war, said Rwanda had sent another arm y battal­ ion into Goma to help rebels secure the city, adding to the 7,000 Rwandan troops already in Congo. "We owe Congolese people support to get through this," he said. Aaeros Travel Spring Break 7 nts. 2002 Sale!! Mar9-i6 Austin to Cancún Packages starting at $779 p.p.

Afghan Prime M inister Hamid Karzai collected promises of $2.6 bil­ lion for the next three years on Monday. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he hoped for $10 billion over five years, and the United Nations estimates a total of $15 billion w ould be needed over the next decade. Delegates consider this a make-or- break chance for Karzai, who is trying to collect funds while the world's atten­ tion is still focused on Afghanistan. He assured the delegates that his post-Taliban government was commit­ ted to free-market policies, advancing hum an rights and wiping out terrorism. O n the first day of the two-day Tokyo conference, the w orld's biggest economic powers rallied behind his message Monday. Secretary of State Colin Powell promised $2% million in the current fiscal year, telling Karzai that “the American people are with you for the long term." Afghanistan is beginning recon­ struction nearly from scratch. Decades of w ar have all but levelled the coun­ try's infrastructure; the central bank w as looted; and government employ­ ees have not been paid for months. Karzai's plea came as he embarked on a world tour to gain support and solidify his power base in Kabul. "I stand before you today as a citi­ zen of a country that has had nothing but disaster, war, bmtalitv and depri­ vation for many years," Karzai said. About two-thirds of Afghan adults are illiterate, and nearly 3,(XX) people are maimed by land mines every vear. By Monday night, at least 25 coun­ tries said they were willing to con­ tribute money, a Japanese' foreign min­ istry official said. An overall total was not yet available, he said. Countries can pledge more later, and some were unable to promise money ahead of their ow n government budg­ et processes. But w ith most big pledges already made, further donations are expected to slow to a trickle. The United States, Japan and the European Union contributed about half of the more than $2.6 billion in pledges. But many other contributioas were small, such as $5 million prom ­ ised by Turkey over five years.

VIEWPOINT Otto Must Go If the Bush administration is serious about trying to fight terrorism, then it should immediately withdraw the recess appointment of Otto Juan Reich as assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs. Reich's long history of sub­ verting federal law and dubious associations with anti-Castro terrorists runs contrary to our nation's efforts to route the world of those who seek to use terror as a tool. Specifically, it is Reich's relationship with Cuban-bom terrorist Orlando Bosch that should be of particu­ lar concern. V4 Bosch, a CIA asset, was first arrested in 1968 for firing a bazooka at Polish freighter in Miami Harbor docked because he believed it was delivering supplies to Cuba. In 1974 he fled to Latin American and formed a mercenary group with ex-CIA officials known as CORU. U.S. authorities suspected Bosch and CORU in dozens of bombings, including the bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed 73 people. Otto Reich: U.S. chief ambassador to Latin America For some reason Reich, himself a staunch anti-Castro activist, helped Bosch try to attain an American visa. U.S. Attorney Joe Whitley obviously denied the request by say­ ing, "The United States cannot tolerate the inherent inhu­ manity of terrorism as a way of settling disputes. Appeasement of those who use force will only breed more terrorists." Bosch then entered the country illegally any­ way. But despite Bosch's despicable record of murder and deceit, former President Bush pardoned Bosch in 1990 at the request of Reich an<^ his own son Jeb. But Reich does have first hand knowledge of high-level government, having already served in the Reagan admin­ istration in the Office of Public Diplomacy, a shadowy White House office that reported directly to the National Security Council and Lt. Col. Oliver North. In 1987, the Republican-appointed Comptroller General found that Reich's office was involved in "prohibited covert propa­ ganda activities" not against foreign countries, but against Americans. That's right, Reich was using our own tax dollars to devise secret covert activities aimed at tricking Americans into supporting the U.S.-backed Contras in Nicaragua. The findings also concluded that Reich's activities went "beyond the range of acceptable agency public informa­ tion activities." The House Foreign Affairs Committee filed a 1988 report on Reich's activities that found "senior CIA officials with background in covert operations, as well military intelli­ gence and psychological operations specialists from the Department of Defense were deeply involved in establish­ ing and participating in a domestic political and propa­ ganda operation." It continued, "This network raised and funneled money to off-shore bank accounts in the Cayman Islands or to the secret Lake Resources bank account in Switzerland for disbursement at the direction of Oliver North." In addition to Reich's storied career of unleashing prop­ aganda on Americans, he was a central player in the Iran- Contra scandal. A scandal that involved an illegal smug­ gling ring where high-ranking government officials were selling arms — and drugs — to raise money for congres- sionally prohibited terrorist activities in Nicaragua in an effort to topple the democratically elected Sandinista gov­ ernment. Most of Latin America is concerned about Reich's appointment as well — and rightfully so. Reich has consis­ tently funneled all policy decisions and ideas regarding Latin American through a decidedly anti-Castro prism. Many worry about Reich's "Cubanization" of America's policies toward the countries to our south. Farmers and lawmakers from agricultural states should be concerned about Reich's hard-line stance toward Cuba and his stated goals of maintaining and strengthening of our economic embargo of Cuba. Many countries see Reich's obsession with Cuba as a distraction from much more important hemispheric issues — like the collapse of Argentina. Perhaps Reich's fixation on Castro and Cuba stem frorfi the fact that Reich was the president of the U.S.-Cuba Business Council, a quasi-govemmental lobby formed under the umbrella of Bacardi, a rum company that had a distillery expropriated by Castro in 1959. Reich's council has received at least $3 million from the U.S. government and $600,000 from Bacardi. But expecting a propaganda artist to be ashamed about an obvious conflict of interest issue is laughable. There is really no conceivable argument to allow Reich's recess appointment to continue past the next term of Congress, as specified in the Constitution. Knowing full- well Reich stood no chance of being confirmed by Congress, Bush decided to rush him into office with a recess appointment — something the GOP took particular joy in lambasting Clinton for. Congress should act swiftly and decisively when the next opportunity to rescind or withdraw Reich from his post becomes available. Reich has displayed contempt for the rule of law, a soft spot for terrorists and a willingness to hijack foreign policy for his own financial gain. Lawmakers made a serious mistake by not allowing Reich a nomination hearing and voting him down resoundingly. Now is the time to correct that mistake.

And every year, the legions of politi­ cal correctness rem ind us how far away our society is from King's dreams. The New Y ork Fire Department announced Saturday that plans for a statue inspired by the now-fam ous photograph of three firefighters, rais­ ing a U.S. flag at Ground Zero, have been scrapped. The m onum ent fell victim to the advocates of h isto rica l revisionism , when it was revealed that the statue would depict a racially-modified group of firefighters raisin g the flag. According to The New York Times, over 1,000 New York firefighters signed a petition opposing installation of the "racially-revised" statue. The sad story that played out to its inevitable co n clu sio n this w eekend illustrates the d an gers of historical revisionism and com m unity tyranny. Instead of uniting behind the con­ struction of an inspirational, historical­ ly accurate m onum ent, we are witness to bilious conflict, and attempts to color history by the num bers. its The U niversity has withstood own radical attem pts of social dem oli­ tion in the recent past. During the 2001 Legislative Session, Rep. Lon Burnam , D-Fort Worth, filed House Bill 953. B u rnam 's intent was to require the rem oval and disposal of the South Mall statues. The statues in question depict lead­ ers of the C onfederacy and they have been a constant target for the cohorts of the radical left for many years. Burnam 's bill encouraged the UT System Board of Regents to arrange for the disposal of the statues "in any other way considered appropriate." To its credit, th e Legislature showed some sense; B u rnam 's bill didn't make it out of com m ittee. King's words shed light on the solu­ tion to our problem s: "I have a d ream that my four chil­ dren will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Amen. Americans should never be judged by the color of th eir skin — nor should New York firefighters. That is why th e UT System Board of THE FIRING LINE Inventive UT economics The University is pressed for money, eh? A few ideas: How about we hold an auction on the South Mall lawn and finally rid ourselves of those egregious statues of racist slave­ owners? Or what if we opt not to invite a war criminal (Powell, Kissinger) to come speak this year? Also, we could forge a tribute to President Faulkner while cutting down on utility costs if w e were to simply drain all the water from Littlefield Fountain and replace it with undiluted foolishness. Trying to pull a fast one on his students, now that is foolish. Jordan Buckley Sociology/Spanish Sophomore Pass the fee on Something is not right regarding the (proposed) fee increase. Everyone can see that. However, it is going to happen. Fee increase proposals result in fee increases. The public hearing to discuss this tomor­ row is just for show. It has probably already been decided. Recognizing that this fee hike is going to happen, there is one way that it should happen. Students who matriculate to the University do so with the expectation that things will continue relatively unchanged during their stay at the University. Someone who wants to study English assumes that the English department will continue to be there while they are a stu­ dent. Families look at their finances, the cost of the education, and make a decision regarding its affordability before commit­ ting to come here. The cost of the University makes it more or less attractive to prospective students when comparing the University to other universities. Thus, it is dishonest to the student body to sud­ denly increase fees in a manner that will affect the students that are already here. The solution is to begin this fee increase effective with next year's incoming class without increasing the fees of the students currently enrolled at the University. Prospective students will have the oppor­ tunity to make a decision regarding the affordability of U T before they commit to and begin their education here. It is unfair and dishonest to the current student body to do otherwise. Rob Henneke UT School of Law Don’t dismiss the fee Sadly, the discussion of the proposed infrastructure fee has fallen behind a cloud of fancy rhetoric about legislatures, education codes and the like. Hidden is the real issue, namely, who should pay? In truth, those w ho oppose the fee do not Regents should, at their February meet­ ing, discuss and pass a resolution sup­ porting the retention o f all historical monuments on UT System campuses. Such a resolution w ould provide substantial obstacle to politically m oti­ vated revisionism. The most significant revisionism in recent memory occurred under the watch of former Gov. G eorge W. Bush. During the 2000 presidential prim ar­ ies, Bush came under fire for support­ ing a state-rights stance on the removal o f Confederate symbols. A few short weeks later, two plaques on the Texas Supreme C ourt building were whisked away in the night. One plaque bore the image of a Confederate flag, and a- quote from Robert E. Lee; the other depicted a C onfederate seal. Failure to publicly and enthusiasti­ cally support the preservation of the history of this great state will leave our cam pus open to mob revisionism for decades to come. Under different circumstances, given dire changes in political climate, even King could find his statue in jeopardy. In reflecting on events in Nazi Germany during the years 1933-1939, Reverend M artin N iem oller (1892 - 1984) penned these im mortal words: "In Germany they cam e first fo r the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came fo r the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they cam e fo r the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because 1 wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came fo r the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came fo r me, and by that time no one was left to speak." N iem oller's words should forever haunt those w ho would turn a blind eye to the tyranny of the mob and their irrational, reactionary, dam aging revi­ sionism. King's memory should encourage all of us to shun the shallow pools of thought waded by dem agogues and do-gooders, and come to logical con­ clusions based upon our own reasoned thought. If w e adhere to reason, heed King and N iem oller's warnings, then our history will be secure, our statues will rem ain standing, our liberty u nfet­ tered, and our progress undettered. Then there w ill alw ays be som eone left to speak. Markland is an RTF/history senior do so because the Board of Regents is act­ ing on its own to forward an agenda, but rather because this agenda does not agree with their own. Suppose that instead of a fee increase, the regents were seeking to lower tuition costs. Surely some would question the legality of such a move, but the criticism would come from a different camp. Let's be honest, how many of those now in opposition would oppose a simi­ lar move by the regents to lower tuition fees on any grounds, legal or otherwise? With or without the fee increase, students still pay only a fraction of the actual cost of their education, while a sizeable por­ tion of the remaining burden falls on Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer. Nevertheless, a dis­ cussion of this proposed fee is warranted by no means is this a clear-cut issue — it should be open and honest. but Focusing on the legality of the regents' action is misleading and is an inconsistent position taken by many of those in oppo­ sition. Eric Spiess Economics graduate student They’re Texas, w e're not Larry Faulkner says the University needs $119-8 million over the next few years to keep our buildings from crum­ bling. He says that we students, have to foot that bill, as well as paying an addi­ tional $33-7 million to create scholarships. These scholarships will help pay the $120 million for students who can't afford to pay their share. In other news, the University is a few dollars short of its $1 billion fundraising goal. Right now, UT has raised $950 mil­ lion with the "We're Texas" campaign. To me, the solution to the 'budget crisis' seems simple ... find more donors. $120 million is a lot of money, but it seems manageable when compared to $950 mil­ lion. I think that "We're Texas" can raise an additional $120 million. After all, iFs only a 12.5 percent increase over whaFs been raised so far. The "We're Texas" Web page states one of the campaign's goals as "providing state-of-the-art facilities for our faculty and students." This sounds remarkably similar to the "repair and renovation" purpose of the proposed infrastructure fee. So President Faulkner, I ask you this: Why not use the "We're Texas" money already raised to meet the University's most pressing needs? Then raise a little extra, and everyone's happy. The students don't have to pay the $119 million (or the $34 million scholarship fee), and "We're Texas" still has a full billion-dollar bank account for you to spend. Stephen Daspit Business sophomore Enron reinforces capitalism Enron fell because they deceived their shareholders, mismanaged finances and engaged in fraudulent practices. As the public reflects their somewhat unexpect­ ed demise, we should note that in any mature capitalist economy, that is exactly GALLERY what should happen. Companies that deceive the public and their clients will ultimately fail under cap­ italism, as there is no big brother to pull them off the sidewalk. What capitalism is not is the plethora of government subsi­ dies to prop dying firms in order to pro­ tect certain politicians. That is known as socialism, where the government inter­ feres with the economy. Varying fqrms of socialism merely increase or decrease the gravity of the sit­ uation. We are not fortunate to live in a capitalist society. Merely, we live in a semi-free economy hindered by varying forms of socialism. Moreover, "campaign finance reform" is another gussied up form of socialism. When the government stops subsidiz­ ing farmers to grow less and stops bailing out impotent companies for poor mana­ gerial decisions, only then can one expect unions, farmers and conglomerates to stop stuffing the pockets of politicians (for now they have no reason to cozy up to politicians). If you expect to get the money out of politics, first get the politics out of money. The specious claim is that Enron's collapse warrants more govern­ ment meddling. However, Enron's lesson should dictate that capitalism is the only just and moral economy. Arpan Sura Computer science/Philosophy freshman No fault with Bush Matt Howell was right on the money with his remarks about President Bush in his Thursday column (Enron proof cam­ paign reform unneeded, Jan. 17). Critics and the national media are poised and ready to stamp "scandal" on Bush's forehead if and when more details about the Enron situation become available. However, Bush is in a no-win situation. Let7 s assume that he did know about the Enron collapse in advance. If he does help Enron pull things together, he would be labeled as a sellout, only willing to help the biggest financial supporter of his cam­ paign and a fellow Republicans. However, if he doesn't inter­ vene, then he is heralded as an uncaring president that will not take the steps nec­ essary to revive a major company in a struggling economy. supporter of Get real. Bush made the right decision. Those responsible for the largest corpo­ rate bankruptcy in America will now be held accountable, as they should. If the government had intervened, Ken Lay and the other Enron execs would be back to their old tricks, all the while knowing that still nobody would be looking over their shoulder. Now that's something you can shake a cigar at. David Waldo Mathematics freshman T h e D a i l y T e x a n Tuesday, January 22, 2002 Page 5 Additional student oversight requested in SG fee proposal SG, from 1 UT President Larry Faulkner said the students presented a well thought-out alternative proposal. "I think we had a full and careful dis­ cussion that included other possibilities," Faulkner said. "They're being very thoughtful, and I respect that." The proposal asks the administration to increase student representation in the creation and implementation of new stu­ dent fees, analyze its spending habits in relation to the state of the economy, and work actively to ensure that students are not disenfranchised by the fee. The proposal also requests the reacti­ vation of the Student Fee Oversight Committee. Created in 1993 by former UT President Robert Berdahl, the com­ mittee was composed of students from SG, the Cabinet of College Councils and the Graduate Student Assembly. These students along with four faculty mem­ bers selected by the administration, would review financial affairs and advise the administration. The proposal calls for the creation of the President's Planning Commission on New Student Fees, a committee that would have the power to participate in the developmental process and approve a new student fee. Students also requested that money generated from the fee be used on specif­ ically designated projects such as the development of Speedway Mall, erecting a statue that represents minonty groups on campus, and beginning a campaign to actively recruit underrepresented student groups. The PSAC student members and the administration seemed receptive to reaching a compromise, Hammond said. "[The proposal] was well-planned, well-orchestrated and well-researched," Hammond said. "We feel like the partner­ ship is something the administration will embrace." Elliott Kruppa, PSAC member, said he felt administrators were apologetic about their failure to include student input and are making a genuine effort to collabo­ rate with students. "I'm happy about the effort adminis­ trators are making to keep an ear open to our opinions. I felt [Faulkner] was very excited about our input," said Kruppa, a finance junior. "He said he would do as much as he could to get our feedback." Faulkner added that he will present the students' ideas to the Budget Council Wednesday and continue to negotiate the fee with students next week. James Vick, vice president of student affairs; Sheldon Ekland-Olson, executive vice president and provost; and Kevin Hegarty, vice president and chief finan­ cial officer, also attended the meeting. The following are suggestions from a Student Government proposal to UT President Larry Faulkner, regarding the proposed infrastructure fee. 1. The fee be used for designated projects such as the development of Speedway Mall and the erection of a statue commemorating leaders from underrepresented cultures. 2. Give an increased percentage of the fee to need-based scholarship recipients to ensure no student is disenfranchised by the financial burden created by the fee. 3. The University analyze its spend­ ing trends in relation to the current state of the economy. 4. Increase student representation by creating the President’s Planning Commission of New Student Fees, a committee that would have the power to participate in the develop­ ment and approval of any new stu­ dent fee. 5. Students and the administration create a partnership to lobby for increased funding for higher educa­ tion before the Texas Legislature. Source: Student Government propos. Students' Response il, Partnership tor the \ uturc: the Proposed increase ‘necessary,’ regents say REGENT, from 1 "Those things are not alw ays clear, but everything we do will be legal and proper," he said. "I know we have some flexibility on setting some fees." Regent Robert Estrada said he is also unclear about the legal power limitations of the board. "I'm assum ing we will have some additional legal guidance before voting in February," he said. "I certainly would not want to vote on something that might be reversed on the legal side later on." But E strada said som ething needs to be done about the reno­ vation needs of the University* and sooner rather than later. "I think it is very critical that the University of Texas at Austin get money for its infrastructure n eed s," he said. "I'm a firm believer that the longer you wait to fix something, the more it will cost later on." Regent Judith Craven said the fee is necessary because the state is givin g the U niversity less funding each year. and how reasonable "I think the rationale for the fee is the amount w as derived was legiti­ m ate," she said. "I know it places an additional burden on the stu ­ dents but our funding must come from multiple sources with less and less coming from the state." Regent Cyncli Taylor Krier said she wants to hear more options to the fee before she can oppose or su ppo rt it. Krier attended the student fee hearing held on cam ­ pus last Thursday to hear differ­ ent opinions of the fee. "I am still trying to get input," she said. "I found the hearing helpful and I hope to have more op portu nities like that before next m onth's meeting. I am will­ ing to listen to p ro p o sals for alternative sources of revenue."

Renk has in vested ab o u t $100,000 into w h at he h opes will be a venue for local fans and cu riou s w in ter tourists. Bullfighting, he said , is not cruel. It is, he said, a d ance of w ills that is as old as history. O u t of costu m e, M artinez is a petite w o m a n with a long, w h ite -b lo n d ponytail and a tiny voice. In the ring, she is fierce y e t playful, e g g in g on the 880 -p o u nd bu lls as if they were s im p ly play g rou n d bullies.

On their second album , W alking in Sunlight, they em erge with a more polished sound. C om p rised of G rant O rsborn, Andy McAllister, Brent Pennington and Jam ie Leaves, The Arthurs are a terrific local talent. W alking in Sunlight, produced by M artyn Leaper, frontman of the Elephant 6-affiliated Minders, is a m ix of re -re co rd ed s o n g s from their first album and som e new tracks as well. O pening with the sw eet sounds of three young m embers from the S u n lig h t G irls Choir, the new album see m s to be the perfect accom panim ent to a drive with the w indow s down on a sunny day. "R ollersk ates and M ini-sk irts" has you singing along after the first verse. The whole album is full of pure fun in the form of music. Somehow, songs about jilt­ ed lovers' misunderstandings d o n 't seem so bad when The A rthurs are involved. It "D o n 't Be M ean " has a definite Weezer feel, but it is taken in a fea tu re s d iffere nt d irection . ta m b o u rin e s in c re d ib le and drums. O ne of the great things about The Arthurs is that they sound like so many things, but still m anage to create their ow n distinct sound that is danceable, touching and musically interest­ ing. And each time you listen to the album, you can hear s o m e ­ thing new. "P le a sa n t Valley" sounds like a song you could hear at a high school dance in the 50s. "L et It R ide," a more mellow track, fea­ tures G ran t O rsborn's ch arm ing voice and terrific musical backing. With the release of their latest album, W alking in Sunlight, The Arthurs w eave intelligent lyrics with soulful musicianship to cre­ ate a sound that is original, play ­ ful and — above all — fun. — K elley Sullivan P O IN T ★ ★ ★ * ? ☆ artist Cornelius label Matador Records In ev o lu tio n a ry biology, we look to the G alapagos Islands for examples of the bizarre in nature — the creatu re s w hose u n iq u e environm ent sent them on a co m ­ pletely d iffere n t e v o lu tio n a ry path from those on the mainland. In the global pop music u n d e r­ ground, Ja p a n 's Keigo O yam ad a (a.k.a. Cornelius) is a Galapagos unto him self — beginning with the sam e m u sic trad itio n s as everyone else, but taking them in a completely different direction. As the unassum ing leader of a movement that includes the likes of Air and P lastilina M osh, the w orld C ornelius stares at through a pair of puppy-dog eyes, a little burned out from too much time in fro n t of the computer. Author of 1998's Fantasm a, which dropped like a technicolor b o m b ­ shell spewing pop culture s h rap ­ nel in all directions, the simian- obsessed C o rn e liu s has fin ally released his second album of o rig­ two inal m aterial remix album s following Fantasm a) in America. (there w ere With P oin t, C orn elius co m e s back after four years with a much more focused album. He has made a conscious goal of shifting from the personal pop manifesto style to a simpler, more of Fantasm a that gives his m alleable sound vision a more accessible feel. The album itself is more apt to be a late-night listen, rather than the ecstatic Saturday morning cartoon last su gar-ru sh album. that was his Point opens and ends with a sin­ gle piano note — to the sam e effect of K u brick's Eyes W ide Shut — centering attention on a p artic­ ular sound in order to usher you into a dream world, wherechirp- ing birds and waterfalls acco m p a­ Ja p a n e s e ny aco u stic guitars, crooning and drum loops. "D ro p " is the strongest single, enjoyable Visit the Daily Texan online at www.dailytexanonline.com outside the co n te x t of the other pieces. But alas, P oint is a dish best served w h o le. a n d fluidity A large part o f P oint's appeal is the mood that Cornelius is a ble to manipulate so well. The a lb u m gets into full swing with "T o n e Twilight Zone," a subtle chillout comedown after the blast of "A n o t h e r View Point." He picks up th e pace a bit with "Bird Watching At Inner Forest" before his speed metal freakout in "I Hate H ate." The interlude is brief, though, an d followed up by his cover of " A qu arela Do Brasil," the pleasant little buzz is regained. Cornelius' "Brazil" is the umpteenth cover of the so n g originally writ­ ten in 1939, and d o esn 't necessari­ ly match up to D avid Byrne's ver­ sion for the m o v ie of the same name; but it's a quirky little treat to ss I t 's as to if in the mix. C o r n e liu s was purposefully saun­ into a more t e r i n g his album s o u th e rly clime. The saucy slide trom bone in "Nowhere" h as a g or­ g e o u s ly lazy tropicalia feel that p u t s you on the beach in Rio at s u n s e t, sipping C aipirin has and g a z in g out into the w aves. And j u s t as subtly as it begins, the t r a c k swirls into an u n s e ttlin g t o n a l laser, zapping you b a c k into reality. P oin t is a fitting and w elcom e f o llo w - u p for fans of F an tasm a. B u t in his maturity, the charm of C o r n e liu s ' younger days is not so g la rin g ly obvious.
