A June study by Black Issues in Higher Education magazine places the Unix'ersity fourth in the nation in the num ber of b achelor's degrees aw arded to H ispanic students. U T-El Paso, the University of California at Los A ngeles and the University of California at Berkeley placed second, third and sixth respectively. But tlie University ranks 37th am ong traditionally white U.S. institutions in awarding bachelor's degrees to African- Americans. The University ranked below most other com pa­ rable institutions, including the University of California at Berkeley (10th), the University of North Carolina (19th) and the University of Michigan (21st). According to recent statistics, 49 percent of the black stu­ dents w ho entered the U niversity in fall 1988 graduated within six years, and the rate for Hispanic students is slightly higher than ,‘50 percent. The graduation rate for white stu­ dents during that time is about 67 percent. The studies reflect that U T officials have nof been as suc­ cessful as com parable institutions at providing a stxial com­ fort level for black students, said Frank Matthews, publisher of the magazine. "C om p arable institutions have succeeded [at retaining black students]. It can be done," M atthews said. The rank­ ings "throw out the excuses." He added that the University's ranking for Hispanic stu­ dents shows the University "is doing som ething right and word has gotten back to the Hispanic population." The survey was based on U.S. Department of Education figures measuring the number of degrees awarded during the 1991-92 academ ic year. The U niversity aw arded 215 degrees to Airic£m-Americans and 780 to Hispanics. Jim Vick, UT vice president for student affairs, said offi­ cials are "alw ays pleascxJ" to see the University rank highly in national polls, but he added that the Black Issues surv^ey "points to areas where we need to work hard and improve." The University is already expanding m inority retention programs, such as the SUCCESS and the M apping a Plan for Success programs, and is working to ensure that prcxrollege education is strong, Vick said. "T here's certainly a concern in the nahon and in Texas that too many students drop out," Vick said. "T he pool of candidates is not as large as we'd like it to be." The rankings for black student retention are "terrible," said Kimberley Jones-Yancy, former president of the Texas Panhellenic Council, an umbrella organization for black fra- femities and sororities. Jo n e s -Y a n c y sa id th e m a in p ro b le m fo r A fric a n - Americans attending the University is that tliey are such a small minority and are not really accepted by students or faculty. Black students who drop out "didn't feel welcome. They didn't feel accepted," Jonc^-Yancy said. "M aking that transi- hon from high school to college is tough for anyone, but to have to overcom e it again and again and again ..." She added that the University is doing a num ber of things right to hold onto minority students, especially its revamp­ ing of retention program s, though adm inistrators should publicize the programs more. But U T officials m ust also pu rsu e black faculty m uch harder than they have in the past, Jones-Yancy said. "Black faculty will attract black students," Jones-Yancy said. "That's not an idea U T has a grip on yet." E lo y D e La G a rz a , d ir e c to r o f th e U T M in o rity Information Center, said that no matter how the University ranks in comparison to other colleges, it still m ust w ork to see the percentage of minority students equal minority per­ centages in the community. "Even though the University is doing well in comparison to other institutioas, it doesn't mean it is in the forefront," De La Garza said. "The University needs to find a w ay to work with the developm ent of more students out of high school." D e La G arza added that the U niversity's location in an area w ith a high H ispanic population helps its m inority recruiting. B ut M atth ew s said institu tions not located in heavily minority areas can be successful in recruiting and retention by creating an environment friendly minority students. COMPARING U S.

A SSO C IA TED PRESS Peace Corps exes reunite in Austin KEVIN FITCHARD Daily Texan Staff More than 250 men and women, som e as old as 81 and som e as young as 23, from vastly different ethnic, ptilitical, and economic backgrounds, came from all over the country to the Austin Convention Center Thursday to share the one experience they had in com mon — their services in the U.S. Peace Corps. T he an n u al c o n fe re n ce o f the N atio n al P eace C o rp s As.S(xiation began with a reception in one of the center's ballrooms where volunteers, som e w ho had served together as long as 33 years ago, were reunited. "It brings back all the mem ories of what was a great expe­ rience," Stiid Michael Wilson of D)uis\ille, Kentucky. Wil.stin was a m em ber of the first group of voluntw rs to sign up for the Corps after it was created in 1%1 by President John F. Kennedy. W ilstin was sent to Colombia, where he helped build schcxiLs and roads, aided in developing a water system and taught English. "W e did anything the people wanted us to do," he said. "That is, anything we were able to help them w ith." The purpose of the conference, said Encarcion Perez Jr., the coordinator of the reception, "is to get all the volunteers together so that w e can share our experiences, and then work together to am tinu e the goals of the Peace Corps." The N PC A is a pnvate organization for form er volun­ teers, not the Peace Corps itself, Perez explaintxi. He said the M u r d e r in the C a t h e d r a l Weather: Here let us stand, close by the umbrella stand. Here let us wait for the rain. Are we drawn by highs in the 90s? Is it the knowledge of lows in the 70s that draws our feet toward the cathedral? What misery can be for us the poor, the poor wet citizens of Austin? What humidity with w hich we are not already familiar? Rainy weather? T.S.

"T h e N PCA is the instrum ent by which the volunteers can achieve tlvat third goal," he said. The cxinference is more than a rt'union for former volunteers, said Charles Baquet, fomver ambassador to Djibouti and now acting d in xtor of the Peace Corps.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilot Asso­ ciation has tried in the past to keep Mueller open for general aviation, but city officials have said that M ueller must dose in 1998. The decisión was influenced by resi­ dents around M ueller that were con­ cerned about noise and safety. I m sad because the [Mueller] air­ port is basically going to sit there. That seems like a waste of space," said Pete Gurney, a biochemistry and psycholo­ gy senior. Larsh said that the problems in this area have not been w ith the sm aller aircraft, but with the larger, commer­ cial airlines. "S m aller a irp la n e s d o n 't use as m u c h ru n w a y a n d they a r e n 't as loud," he said. "If they sh u t dow n Mueller they should only dose the area with large commercial operations and keep the general aviation area open.

The University Flying Q u b has 30 members and is registered as a student organization, but mem bers are trying to get official sponsorship from the University before the fall to become the "University of Texas at Austin Flying Q u b ." If it gains sponsorship, it will paint its airplanes orange and w hite and start offering rides over the UT football games, Golbstein said.

She moved on to a different formula. Associated Press W ASHINGTON — As the Senate prepares to open the volatile w elfare reform debate, Sen. Kay Bailey H utchison is threatening to oppose a com prom ise bill she had worked to make more equitable to high-growth states. The Texas Republican balked Thursday at a last-minute change inserted into the GOP welfare compromise that she contends is "patently unfair" to states with rapidly growing populations. A leader in the fight over how best to divide the federal welfare pie among states, Hutchi­ son circulated to GOP senators Thursday a let­ ter e x p re ssin g her d is s a tisfa c tio n w ith an eleventh-hour twist. She refused com ment on the letter. Asked if Hutchison plans to support the com prom ise bill crafted by Senate M ajority L ead er Bob Dole, spokesw om an M issi Tessier said: "A t this point she is still looking to see what is in the final b ill." At issue is the funding form ula parceling out in block grants to states the nearly $17 bil­ lion Aid to Families with Dependent Children p ro g ra m . C o n c e rn e d o v e r la n g u a g e th a t would freeze funding for the next five years at 1994 levels — regardless of states' population grow th — H u tch iso n su ccessfu lly inserted language that w ould provide an additional $ 8 6 0 m illio n o v e r fo u r y e a rs to 19 h ig h - growth, low-benefit states. The bill includes language that would slash 5 percent in funding from states found to have misused their block grants. A provision added at the eleventh hour tacks on the threat of loss ties to deter states from misus­ ing block grant funds.” — Sen. Kay BeSey Hutchison, R-Texos of all future block grant funding for any of the 19 winning states in the event of misuse. "T h e r e m ust be p en alties to d eter states from misusing block grant funds," Hutchison wrote in the letter obtained by The Associated Press. "B u t it is patently unfair — and unac­ ceptable — for high-growth, low-benefit states to be singled out and penalized tw ice." The form u la fig h t has proved one of the most vexing in the Senate's ponderous bid to overhaul the nation's welfare system. Sun Belt senators, led by Hutchison, success­ fully waged the fight to gain additional dollars pegged to population growth. But Hutchison's fo rm u la is n 't th e on ly one on the tab le — prompting a possible rift in the Sunbelt coalition. Just weeks ago, she and Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., were fighting side by side in the effort to shield fast-growing Sunbelt states' budgets from the welfare reform juggernaut. Now, they find themselves on different cor­ ners of the battlefield. Ironically, Graham is coming to the fight as the defender of a proposal Hutchison once champi­ oned but dropped after it threatened to bring the Republicans' prized welfare reform initiative to a The Senate Finance Committee plan would freeze state s' fu nd ing th rou gh 2000 on th e basis of 1994 levels. As the Sunbelt law m ak­ ers' negotiator, H utchison countered w ith a p lan lin k in g fu tu re fu n d in g to p o p u la tio n growth and poverty rates. That plan, known as the "F a ir S h a re " for­ m u la, s p a rk e d a g e o g r a p h ic r ift w h e n it becam e apparent that grow th states' added funding would be plucked from other states' pockets. California would take a $1.2 billion nit; New York, $991 million. After the formula — coupled with ideologi­ cal brawls over issues ranging from illegitim a­ cy to immigration — threatened to derail the bill, Hutchison resurfaced with another. This one, known as the "d ynam ic grow th" formula, was included in Dole's compromise. The glitches appeared at end — until Hutchi­ son discovered the penalty language. Graham, who also argues that the latest for­ mula doesn't link funding to poverty trends and freezes funding inequities, will seek to offer the earlier one as an amendment to the Dole bill. H utchison unveiled her new form ula this w eek, to u tin g the fact th at no state w ou ld emerge with less funding. The 19 states meeting her high growth, low benefits test would gain 2.5 percent annually from 1997 through 2000.

DEBORAH CANNON/Daily Texan Staff Ranking system highlights problems Associated Press Early childhood programs, higher teacher pay and increased parental involvement are crucial to improving education, officials said after new rankings showed 265 low-performing Texas schools. The state ranking system — which also showed 245 exemplary schools — is b ased on d ro p o u ts and test scores. Sen. Gregory Luna, vice chairman of the Senate Education Committee, said Thursday that intervention is needed early to give some children a fighting chance at success. "W e 're not doing enough of the things outside the [education] system, like prenatal care," said Luna, D-San Antonio. He quoted one educator as saying children at risk of dropping out can be identified "at conception." The state ranks schools based on d ropout rates and stu d ent p erfo r­ m ance on the Texas Assessm ent of Academic Skills, which tests reading, writing and math. Figures are analyzed for the stu­ dent body as a whole and for differ­ ent segments of the student popula­ tion — black, w hite, H ispanic and economically disadvantaged. If even one segment doesn't meet state crite­ ria, the school is ranked low-perform­ ing. This year's standards are tougher than last year's, a fact reflected in the increase in low performers from 54 to 265. That's out of 5,229 campuses. Of the low-performing schools, 120 received the rating only because of fail­ ure rates on the math section of the TAAS, particularly by black students, Education Commissioner Mike Moses said. Another 113 campuses received the lowest rating only because of their dropout rate, he said, citing in particu­ lar Hispanic dropouts. "There is some good news in that we have identified those sch oo ls," Moses said. "It allows ; chool trustees, administrators, teachers and parents to get involved ...to look at remedies, ch a n g e s th at need to be m ad e to boost student performance." Moses said the emphasis should be on working with children as young as age 3 "and lay that foundation, and by the time the students leave the third grade, we must see that Texas students are able to read." Both Texas' dropout rate and test scores are improving, he noted. But Moses said he would like to see stu­ dent performance rise more quickly and su g g ested th at su cce ssfu l schools' programs could be used as an example for others. Su p p orters of an ed u cation law rewrite that gives freer rein to local communities in shaping school pro­ grams say it will help. The new law, for example, allows parents and teachers to obtain charters to create programs, such as magnet schools for math or science, that would be free from a number of state rules. "The new education b ill... will give parents, teachers and administrators in local d is tricts and sch o o ls the opportunity to find the best ways to achieve excellence," said Ray Sulli­ van, spokesman for Gov. George W. Bush. Those who opposed the new law, including Luna and Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston, say its focus is misdirected. "O n e o f the c ritic is m s v o iced against the new code was that it was providing a m eans of escape from low-performing schools, not address­ ing the problems at the low-perform­ ing schools and trying to com e up with creative ways of increasing their scores," said Turner, a leader in the House floor debate on education and minority issues.

(out of five) could be zapped into a Russ M eyer film and still m anage to produce a the respectable perform ance. As revenge-driven loose cannon, he m anages to construct an intriguing character w ho has a rough tim e reg­ ulating his rage. In w hat is perhaps the film's only original scene, he shoots a hostage. The backlash of Denzel's involv­ ing perform ance is that it m akes everyone else look that m uch worse. For example, Kelly Lynch (Drug­ store Cowboy, Cocktail) is dro p p ed into this w him sical plot to fulfill the gaping need for sex appeal. But her useless w hining and scatterbrained delivery does absolutely nothing to create any interaction betw een her Dr. M adison Carter character and Parker. By the m ovie's end, it is not even clear if they like each other. Two, Virtuosity has a concept w ith potential. The big question on every­ body's m ind is: H ow are they going to explain bringing a virtual killer to life? Simple, right? You run a few serial killer m ug shots through a com puter scanner, put a bra on your head, and think Weird Science. A ctu­ ally, you take the Sid 6.7 com puter matrix and drop it into som e sili­ cone-based ooze. The synthetic DNA p ro g ra m m in g stru ctu re s a physical clone.

Russell C row e's (The Quick and the Dead, Proof) Sid is a contrived recy­ cling of Terminator 2's Robert Patrick baddie, except Sid isn't nearly as threatening. There is just som ething about a guy w ho can drive a metal sliver through your skull that sends chills dow n your spine. Sid, a bit on the prissy side, relies solely on a gun for his dirty w ork. W hen he decides to go shopping and breaks into a Saturday Night Fever schtick, all bad guy respect vanishes. Virtuosity w ould have been better titled Pastiche, for it is a hollow rearticulation of 20 m ovies w e have all seen before. As opposed an enter­ taining and innovative pastiche film like Pulp Fiction, Virtuosity has no respect for its sources. Does H olly­ w ood really believe there are no m ore original ideas? D irector Brett L eonard, w hose only other feature is The Lawnmower Man, creates a shallow action adv en ­ ture that loosely utilizes the virtual reality hype in an effort to boost its stock. W ith an interesting concept and a top-notch star, Leonard has m an­ aged to create a m indless mess that should have us all checking our watches.

A nd th at's w hat m any look like in his grotesque Berlin paintings from the pre-N azi W eim ar era. G erm ans have been thronging to see G ro sz's w orks, even th o u g h he insulted G erm ans right u p until his death in 1959. More than 240,000 have visited the largest G rosz exhibit ever, w hich opened in Berlin seven m onths ago and has m oved to the N orth Rhine-W estphalia A rt Col­ lection in D uesseldorf. U n d er one roof are G rosz's sketches, his fam ous W eim ar-era paintings depicting the poverty, chaos, violence and corruption that lead to the Third Reich, and less-appreciated w orks from his 26 years in A m erican exile. There are 811 w’orks in the exhibit called G eorge G rosz: Berlin-New York. The collection travels to S tuttgart on Sept. 17 and closes there on Dec. 3. G erm ans' interest in G rosz's w ork is akin to the interest they have show n in com m em orations this year m ark in g th e 50th anniversary of the liberation of the N azi con cen tratio n cam ps and of A dolf H itler's defeat, said Thom as H eyden, a G rosz expert at the D uesseldorf m useum . "G eorge G rosz occupied h im ­ self w ith G erm an h isto ry like hardly any other artist in this cen­ tu ry ," H eyden said. "I d o n 't think m ost G erm ans w ho see the w orks are offended. They know that w hat they see is related to certain societal condi­ tions of the past." W riting about the exhibit, The ASSOCIATED PRESS In his 1946 work Shut Up and Serve, dada artist George Grosz depicts Christ in a gas mask. New York Review o f Books said of G rosz that "even his m ost alle­ gorical w orks of the Berlin period are full of beautifully observed details." Less charm ed w as the Frank­ furter Allgemeine Zeitung new sp a­ per, w hich said G rosz's W eim ar w ork has little relevance to m o d ­ e m times: "G eorge G rosz's hate of the 1920s e stab lish m e n t is m erely an exotic rem em brance." The G erm an p ap e r also com ­ plained that G rosz "sh o w e d him ­ self h ig h ly p leased w h en e v er reality surpassed his grim preju­ dices." H ere wras a m an, the critic w rote, to w hom "h a te is holy." G rosz w as b o m in Berlin in 1893 to a father w ho w as a lan d ­ lord and a m other w ho rented room s and later ran an officers' casino. H e joined the arm y in 1914, after W orld W'ar I broke out, an d w as d isc h arg ed six m o n th s la ter after a sin u sitis o p eratio n .

A nervous, sw eaty m an drives looking out his car w indow at the m enacing telep h o n e poles as he passes them. A re these voices g u t­ tural transm issions com ing from his head, or are they just p art of the soundtrack of the film? The an sw e r is th a t you never know, w hich is a prevalent them e in the new schizophrenic dram a Clean, Shaven. In an effort to find his long-lost daughter, Nicole (Jennifer M acD on­ ald), Peter W inter (Peter G reene, Pulp Fiction) trav els back to his hom etow n, and along the w ay he stops at a m otel w here he cuts hair and flesh off his head and flicks a razor across his chest w ithout using shaving cream. Later, a young girl is found m uti­ lated near the sam e motel. Of course W inter appears to be the m ost likely suspect. Tension b u ild s as W inter gets closer an d closer to finding his d au g h ter. But w h en he finally locates her the possibility of an inter­ esting Psycho-style thriller is lost. A young girl grow ing up in the '90s is not going to go off w ith a total stranger com ing o u t of the bushes in her back yard claim ing to be her long-dead father. As father and dau g h ter take off im m ediately to the beach for some catching up and fam ily bonding, W inter begins explaining w hat h ap ­ pened to him and w hy people told Nicole he w as dead. Clean, Shaven is an overly sadistic Peter Greene plays a father looking for his daughter in Clean, Shaven. FILM ct£ANf m m i Starring: Peter Green, Robert Albert, M egan O w en Director: Lodge K errigan Playing at: Dobie Theatre Rating: ★ (out of five) film that could quite possibly drive som e people insane if they w ere forced to w atch it over and over. M uch of the action in this film occurs w ithout reason. Peter covers his car w ith old new sp ap er clip­ pings and his rearview m irror w ith m asking tape. OK, he doesn 't like seeing his image, but w hy? The officer investigating the m ur- der of the little girl, Jack M cNally (Robert Joly), is the m ost flatly vv rit- ten police character since the female cop in Clerks. A fter asking N icole's caretaker a couple of questions about the case he im m ediately invites her to d in ­ ner. U nbelievably she accepts and starts to give Jack her address, but he stops her in m id-sentence saying he already know s w here she lives. H ow does he know ? "I'm not a cop; I'm a detective," he says. N ot only is the w riting poorly crafted in this film, there is also very little of it (w hich isn 't necessarily a bad thing.) The problem is the story relies w ay too m uch on visual m etaphor to develop its characters, a technique th at just d o esn 't w ork. Save this one for pre-H allow een par­ ties.

Then it w*as hockev. N ow , the NBA is on the verge of a lost season. N egotiations betw een the league and its union broke otf T hursday night, w ith no labor agreem ent and little prospect of further talks. The tw o sides w ere unable to resolve the critical issue of the luxury tax and their p art­ ing wras m ore acrim onious than at any tim e since thev began negotiating m ore than a year ago. "W e are resigned to the fact th at there w on't be a season,” a grim-faoed NBA com ­ m issioner D avid S tem said after alm ost four hours of private talks at a midtowm hotel. The ow ners instituted a lockout July 1, three m onths before the scheduled opening of training camps. "W e encouraged ou r o w ners to d ay to reach across and show ou r players w e could in effect save the season, and the answ er is, w e can't,” Stem said. "W e will rem ain in a lo ck o u t” If indeed the season does not begin on time, the NBA — once a m odel of labor peace — w o u ld becom e the th ird professional sports league in 16 m onths to be d isru p te d by a w ork stoppage. Stem said the union opened the m eeting bv saying it did not plan to negotiate during the session, and the tw o sides w ent to sepa­ rate room s after about 45 m inutes. Sim on G ourdine, the u n io n 's executive director, disp u ted the league's assertion that he w as unw illing to negotiate, saying his door rem ains open. H ow ever, if no new deal is reached by m idnight Tuesday, the union w ill relinquish its authority as the players' bargaining agent, joining a g ro u p of dissident players w ho w ant to dissolve the union. "It w as the conclusion of o u r player reps and officers that these (counterproposals) w ould be unacceptable to the m ajority of our players,” G ourdine said. W ith the likelihood of a new* labor deal all bu t gone, the league will aw ait the outcom e of a union decertification vote in early Sep­ tember. Before T liursday's meeting, Stem reiterat­ ed the league will continue its lockout if the union decertifies, saying the NBA will nego­ tiate w ith the existing union or not negotiate at all. "If th ere's no union, the ow ners w o n 't play the '95 season," S tem said. "T he ow ners will keep the players locked out.” H e called the dissidents' assertion that the lockout w ould end once the union decertified Please see NBA, page 9 Proposal to strip antitrust status from pro baseball wins approval Associated Press W ASHINGTON — A proposal to strip m ajor league baseball of its exem ption from antitrust law s — a benefit for ow ners since 1922 — w on narrow approval by a Senate panel T hursday. W ith the sp o rt's longest strike still fresh in law m ak ers' m inds, the Senate Judiciary C om m ittee voted 9-8 for the bill to revise baseball's unique status. The vote sends the issue tow ard w hat w ould be its first consid­ eration by a full house of Congress. Prospects for passage w ere unclear. Sen. O rrin H atch, R-Utah, com m ittee chairm an and the m easure's chief author, "ho p es the bill w ill m ove quickly” to a vote, said spokesw om an Jeanne Lopatto. O thers on Capitol Hill noted that the em otional issue defies party lines. W ithout an antitrust exem ption, baseball w ould have to operate m ore like a norm al business, vulnerable to federal law suits over rules the ow ners im pose unilaterally, such as free agency, salary arbitration and base­ ball's player draft. As it is, the players have felt their only recourse to such actions is to strike. The bill w ould not affect franchise reloca­ tion rules or the m inor leagues. The W hite H ouse called it a "fairly nar- row bill th at a d d re sses an a n tiq u a te d Suprem e C ourt decision,” the high court's 1922 ruling granting the antitrust exem p­ tion. "T he adm inistration supports legislation special that w o u ld n arro w b aseb a ll's a n titru st exem ption by a p p ly in g the antitrust law s to m ajor league baseball w ith certain exceptions," the W hite H ouse state­ m ent said. L eaders of the ow ners and players reacted predictably to the vote. "T he legislation w ould only open the floodgates for m ore litigation in the sport and could negatively im pact the accessibili­ ty of the gam e to major and m inor league cities," acting com m issioner Bud Selig said. Selig, ow ner of the M ilw aukee Brewers, said he w as confident the Senate w ould reject the bill. D onald Fehr, head of the players' union, said there w as a "real good chance" the Sen­ ate will approve the m easure because "I think they u n d erstan d there is an anom aly in the law that needs to be repaired.” Before the vote, several senators used the occasion to excoriate both players and o w n­ ers for their conduct during the 1994-95 McGwire too much for hurting Rangers Associated Press OAKLAND — Tony La Russa has m anaged M ark McGwire for the past decade, b u t he still m arvels at the feats of his pow erful first basem an. A day after com ing off the disabled list, M cGwire hit his 25th and 26th hom ers T h u rs­ day to lead the O akland A thlet­ ics to a 5-3 win over the Texas Rangers. "H e is am az­ ing. H ow does he do w hat he just d id ?” La Russa asked. This game isn’t easy. I got a couple of hits yesterday and today, but I’ve got a long way to go.” — Mark McGwire, McGwire, w ho had tw o singles on W ednesday in his first gam e badly since bruising his left foot on July 17, said he was still not com pletely com fortable on the field. Oakland Or at baseman, after homering against the Ranger as twice -------------------------------------------------- "This gam e isn't easy,” M cGwire said. "I got a couple of hits yesterday and today, but I've got a long w ay to g ° " They w ere the first hom ers since July 7 for M cGwire, w ho has played in just six gam es since then. M cGwire m issed five gam es after being beaned by D avid Cone on July 8, and later m issed 13 gam es w ith the bruised foot. Ariel Prieto (2-4), a Cuban em igre w ho w as the A 's top pick in the June am ateur draft, allow ed tw o runs and five hits in 6 2 /3 innings. He struck out eight and walked six, both highs in his six career starts.

Salaam the 21st plaver taken in in A p ril's d raft, w ill arriv e Chicago on Friday and w on't plav in the preseason opener against the Panthers. Ted Phillips, Bears vice presi­ dent of operations, said a seven- hour m eeting tw o davs ago w ith agent M arvin Demoff sped up the negotiations. I thin k face-to-face th at m eeting helped give both sides a chance to gauge how m uch w as posturing and how m uch was sincere efforts to get a deal done. I think th at closed the gap ,” Phillips said. The contract included only one clause based on Salaam 's production, Phillips said. Salaam left Colorado after his junior season, w hen he rushed for 2,055 yards w ith 27 touch­ dow ns. He w as the fifth running back selected in the first round. ■ N ew York G iants R unning back Rodney H am p­ ton injured his left thigh.

Bettis has rung up $56,000 in fines — $4,000 for each of the 14 days of cam p he has missed. If he d o esn 't report to cam p at least 30 days before the first reg- ular->eason game, he w ould not receive credit for an accrued sea- son. ih e Rams open the season Sept. 3 at Green Bay. Bettis rushed for 1,429 yards last season. If Bettis rushed for 1,200 yards in 1995 or 1996, he'd be a fret* agent after the '96 sea­ son. But because of the missed deadline, he w ould be a restrict­ ed free agent only because he w ould have three accrued sea­ sons. ■ N ew York Jets With Cal Dixon, projected as the starting center, sidelined to four w eeks w ith a three sprained ankle, the Jets reached agreem ent with David A lexan­ der on a two-year contract. A lexander played eight sea­ the P hiladelphia sons w ith Eagles and was an alternate for the NFC Pro Bowl team last year. He is expected in training cam p Friday. A lexander, w ho also has played guard, has a streak of 108 consecutive starts.

A nd other than uniform s that m ore closely resem ble profes­ sional w restling outfits than any­ thing w orn by an NFL team, it still m ight not be all that bad. O ther than S aturday's full slate of college football and cheap, light beer, there is little else S outherners have to do. At least now guys nam ed Roscoe, C letus or Pecker will have so m eth in g to w atch w hile dow ning 12-packs on Sunday, too. It's better than having them out roam ing the streets. But w hile this quick rem edy for the South's idle m inds may seem all good and dandy, there is still a slight concern for the rest of the nation w hose foresight m ight be a little greater than just w ondering w ho's buying the next 12-pack. There still rem ains the issue, as small as it may be, of the overall quality of the NFL and the price it pays for expansion. Oh, sure, w hile Roscoe, Cletus and Pecker sit around cheering their new heroes and dream ing of the day w hen light beer will be free for all to drink, salary caps and th in ­ ning talent will continue to cripple one of the last great traditions of America: the superteam .

W hile the 'Boys — a superteam in their ow n right — will still rem ain one the NFL's elite teams, they are now here near as good as they could be if they d id n 't have to battle a salary cap designed to create an even playing field for sm aller m arket teams.

LOUIS — Tom H enke w alked a tightrope, twice, en route to his 298th career save. "It was exciting from the m inute I stepped on the m ound,” H enke said after the St. Louis C ardinals ended a six-gam e losing streak T h u rsd ay night, hanging on for a 2-1 victory over the H ouston Astros. "I d id n 't mean to m ake it that way, but 1 think the fans got their m oney's w orth." H enke pitched 1 2 /3 innings for his 23rd save in 24 chances, but he had the fans on the edge of their seats the whole way. After Tony Eusebio greeted him w ith a run- scoring single in the eighth, right fielder Brian Jordan preserved the lead w hen he caught pinch hitter Derrick M ay's sinking liner and then threw out Derek Bell trying to score. "I d id n 't feel like I brought my bat to the gam e today, but at least I brought my glove,” Jordan said. In the ninth, O rlando M iller led off w ith a walk, stole second and w ent to third w hen catcher Scott H em ond's throw sailed into center field. Then H enke struck out Jerry Goff, got Brian H unter to ground out and retired Jam es M outon on a fly ball. Cowboys’ Kennard injured at practice Dallas’ overweight 11-year veteran considering retirement after hurting hip CARTER PAGEL Daily Texan Staff The prom ise of a solidified offensive line came to an ab ru pt end for the Dallas C ow ­ boys w hen Derek K ennard w as injured d u r­ ing T hursday m orning's practice. Kennard, w ho just re-signed w ith the Cowboys on W ednesday, had to be helped off the field after experiencing serious pain in his left hip. The injury could be attributed to the fact that he reported to cam p at 360 pounds, which is 30 p o unds heavier than w hat he claimed to weigh. Doctors perform ed an MR1 (m agnetic res­ onance imaging) on the hip and, fortunately for the Cowboys, the results w ere reported negative. H ow ever, Kennard will miss an undeterm ined am ount of tim e and is rep o rt­ edly considering retirem ent. H is agent reported that he is re-evaluating his decision to play, but no one know s w here he stands. "We d o n 't know w hat [Kennard] is going to do," said team m ate and fellow offensive linem an N ate N ew ton. "All w e can do is w ork." The loss of Kennard, either tem porary or perm anent, com es as a major setback to the already ailing Dallas offensive line. "It is a big disappointm ent," said coach Barry S w itzer. "[K ennard] is a guy we counted on for solid back-up line." K ennard was not only needed to com e in and play a reserve role, bu t w as also looking at an im m ediate starting position until the return of All-Pro tackle Erik Williams. The C ow boys expected to start K ennard at right guard w ith second-year player Larry Allen filling in for W'illiams at right tackle. With K ennard out, tw o unproven players, Ron Stone and G eorge H egam in, will com ­ pete for the starting right guard spot. In the T h u rsd ay afternoon practice, H egam in ran m ost of the plays w ith the first-team offense.
