In addition, there w ould be sup ­

44 The Senate is 

dragging its feet on this 
issue and it’s unforgiveable.” 
— 8m. Byron ¡¡organ, 
D-North Dakota

Now, w ith a September ratification 
tre a ty 
d e a d lin e a p p ro a c h in g , 
activists are stepping up their cam­

paign to bring the m easure to the 
Senate floor.

In Washington, the treaty remains 
b o ttle d u p in the S enate Foreign 
Relations Committee, whose chair­
m an, Sen. Jesse H elm s, R-N.C., is 
locked in a dispute with the Clinton 
a d m in is tra tio n o v e r tw o o th e r 
treaties.

"The Senate is dragging its feet on 
th is issue and it's u n fo rg iv ab le," 
said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., a 
leader in the effort bring the treaty 
to a vote. He said he and other test-

b a n s u p p o r te rs w ill get "m o re 
aggressive" in the coming weeks.

Uorgan declined to say w hat that 
meant, but there's no question that a 
handful of determined senators can 
bring havoc to the Senate's sched­
ule.

"Russia is waiting for us, China is 
w aiting for R ussia," said Thom as 
Graham , president of the Lawyers 
Alliance for W orld Security and a 
form er d ire c to r of the U.S. A rm s 
Control and D isarm am ent Agency.
The delay in ratification is exclu­

sively that there haven't been hear­
ings. There is no other reason."

The 1996 pact includes a pledge 
against all testing of nuclear devices 
and sets up a global system of sen­
sors to m onitor compliance. It was 
signed by 152 nations, but ratifica­
tion is moving slowly.

The approaching deadline is Sept. 
23, th e th ird a n n iv e rs a ry of th e 
treaty's opening for signature. After 
that, a conference w ill be held to 
consider w hat m easures m ight be 
taken to get non-ratifying members

to join, including possibly economic 
steps. Only nations that ratified the 
treaty could participate in the con­
ference — leaving the United States 
w ithout direct influence.

U n d e r th e tre a ty , all 44 sta te s 
w ith som e nuclear capacity m ust 
sign for it to take effect. Even one 
holdo ut — by, for instance, N orth 
Korea — could keep the treaty' from

NATO forces arrest Serb 
indicted for war crimes

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — 
NATO soldiers arrested a former 
B osnian Serb Cabinet m inister 
T u esd ay on charges that he 
plan n ed the forced rem oval of 
non-Serbs from northwest Bosnia 
in 1992.

Radislav Brdjanin is the most 
senior Bosnian Serb civilian official 
yet to be arrested and transferred 
to the U.N. war crimes tribunal in 
The Hague, Netherlands.

In an indictment that was kept 
secret until his arrest, Brdjanin 
was charged with persecution, a 
crime against humanity, for plan­
ning ethnic purges of Muslims and 
Croats from the Prijedor and 
Sanski Most regions of northwest 
Bosnia. Brdjanin, now a lawmaker

Northeast temperatures soar

Associated Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The mission for 75- 
year-old Ruth Anderson was clear: Keep cool 
at all costs.

N ecessary cook in g w as don e at 5 a m 
Lunch and dinner were eaten at air-condi­
tioned restaurants. The afternoon was spent 
working on a crossword puzzle inside the 
cool Connecticut Post Mall in Milford.

Later, A nderson ate ice cream with her 
daughter and granddaughter, and then they 
were off to see a movie.

"I'm sticking to my plan. We did this yester­
day and the day before," she said Monday. 
"It's too hot to be outside."

Heat advisories and warnings were posted 
today from Illinois to the East Coast and from 
southern New England to North Carolina as 
temperatures drove back toward the century 
mark. On Monday, temperatures hit record 
highs from the Great Lakes to New England.

Catherine Iftode, 13, was ready with a bat­
tery-driven, hand-held fan with a built-in

water spraver.

"You feel like you are in a steam ing bath­
room," she said Monday evening after taking 
a visiting cousin to New York City's coolest 
attraction: the movies. "They have air condi­
tioning inside," she said.

New York reached 101 degrees Monday, a 
record for the date, with a heat index — the 
combined effect of temperature and humidity 
— of 112. Newark, N.J., set a record at 103, as 
did Portland, Maine, reaching 94 Monday. 
Bridgeport, Conn., registered 100 for the date 
for the first time. North Carolina's Raleigh- 
Durham Internationa^ Airport hit a record 
102, highest in the state.

When the Reds and Astros played an after­
noon baseball gam e in Cincinnati, a ther­
mometer stuck in the artificial turf at Cinergy 
Field registered 154 degrees, highest in at least 
two years.

At least eight deaths were blamed on the 
heat during the long holiday weekend includ-

more uniform standards for adopt­

"W e are just trying to be [very]

After a meeting of the Facilities 
P la n n in g 
C o n stru c tio n 
Committee, it was back to the draw­
ing board for architects designing 
the new Jack S. Blanton Museum. 
R eg en ts co n clu d ed they w anted 
m ore option s to choose from for 
what was called the most important 
building on campus.

The new d esig n p ro p o sed 
Tuesday consisted of a single-story

structure surrounded by groves of 
trees, as well as a water feature.

To accommodate the new build­
ing, Speedway will be rerouted to 
Órazos Street, and the museum will 
occupy the Jester parking lots and 
some of Speedway, said the muse­
um 's director, Jessie Hite, adding 
that she w as pleased w ith the 
design presented Tuesday.

"I am very enthusiastic about the 
design," she said. "I think this is a 
building that can greatly enhance 
the architectural fabric of UT."

But she added that she u nd er­
stands that such an important build­
ing would need the support of peo­
ple, especially the Board of Regents.

B ecau se a final d esign has not 
been approved by the board, the 
phasing process and budget has yet 
to be determined, although $27 mil­

lion has already been raised.

UT President Larry Faulkner said 
the U niversity has been a culture 
center for generations of Texans, 
especially with its top-rate art col­
lections.

"The purpose of this building is 
to be a major-league art museum," 
Faulkner said. "W hat w e're devel­
oping here is something not ordi­
nary."

But others like Rita Clem ents, 
chairman of the Facilities Planning 
and Construction Committee, and 
Regent Tony Sanchez w ere co n ­
cerned with having only one plan­
ning option to choose from because 
the building will be incredibly vital 
to the University.

Members felt it was crucial for the 
building to comply with the master 
plan, which outlines general guide­

 

f

lines for new buildings in an effort 
to recreate an original 40-acres style 
campus.

"This building is not just going to 
be a h ighligh t for U T -A u stin ," 
Clements said. "It is going to be a 
highlight for the whole UT System 
— that is why we feel that it is so 
important."

The board decided to meet again 
to discuss the building when more 
alternatives have been drawn up by 
the architects.

"W e are at a big disadvantage 
here. We can't com pare," Sanchez 
said. "I want to get it done right ... 
It is the most important building on 
campus."

The board also discussed a bond 
sale which will finance p rojects 
throughout the System during a 
m eeting of the B usiness A ffairs

Committee.

Dan Burck, executive vice-chan­
cellor for business affairs, said a 
bond sale project worth almost $300 
million may help finance projects 
throughout the UT System, such as 
the new UT Austin student dorm 
and parking garage, the lowering of 
the football field and the $5 million 
Jester fire and safety program.

Burck added that the Business 
Affairs Com m ittee will postpone 
the p resen tatio n of its C ap ital 
Im p ro vem en t P ro g ram 
from 
August to N ovem ber, contingent 
upon the passage of HJR 58, a con­
stitutional amendment that would 
in crease availab le funds for the 
System.

say it would lock in U.S. superiority 
gained in more than 1,000 nuclear 
tests during the Cold W ar, while 
failing to ratify the pact could open 
the door to additional nuclear tests 
by In d ia and P a k ista n — now 
caught up in another military dust- 
up o v er K a sh m ir — or o th er 
nations.

Opponents argue it could threat­
en A m erica's ability to deliver an 
effectiv e n uclear strike, if one is 
ever needed.

Su p p o rters are en co u rag ed by 
Russian President Boris Y eltsin 's 
expressed willingness last month to 
renegotiate a landmark 1972 arms- 
reduction treaty and signs that the 
Russian parliament may soon take 
up the ST A R T II tre a ty , a later 
nuclear-reduction pact.

Politically, the test-ban treaty has 
become linked with Russian action 
on those earlier treaties.

At the core of the d isp u te: the 
1972 A nti-Ballistic M issile treaty. 
Conservatives don't like it because 
it p ro h ib its d e v e lo p m e n t o f a 
national m issile d efen se system . 
Som e c o n sid e r the A BM trea ty

longer exists.

sen t

President Clinton a bill to commit 
the United States to such an anti­
m issile system , regard less of the 
ABM treaty.

In another concession, the admin­
istration's top arms-control official, 
John Holum, told a Senate hearing 
the United States should go ahead 
w ith p la n s to bu ild the sy stem 
despite ABM prohibitions, suggest­
ing it was in the national interest.

But Helms has shown little inter­
est in such overtures, at least pub­
licly.

B efo re m oving on the test-ban 
treaty, Helms wants the administra­
tion to first subm it to the Senate 
m o d ification s in the ABM treaty 
agreed to three years ago b y Clinton 
and Yeltsin.

The ad m inistration ^ays it will 
submit the modifications, but only 
after Russia ratifies START II.

Helms also wants the administra­
tion to su bm it the clim ate treaty 
n e g o tia te d in K y oto, Ja p a n , in 
D ece m b er 1997, even th o u gh it 
would likely be defeated.

Helms hasn't changed his mind, 

spokesman Marc Theissen said.

"They've got to submit the ABM 
treaty [modifications] and Kyoto," 
he said.

With Helms refusing to schedule 
hearings, the only way the treaty 
could be pried from the committee 
w ou ld be for S e n a te M a jo rity 
Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., to bring 
it directly to the floor.

But R epu blican Senate sources 
said Lott was not inclined to do so, 
p articu la rly after criticism from 
co n se rv a tiv es tw o y ears ago for 
helping to win ratification of a con­
troversial chem ical w eapons ban 
treaty.

D organ co n ced ed th at g ettin g 
Helms to change his mind, or per­
suading Lott to put the treaty on the 
S e n a te ag en d a, is no easy task. 
Furthermore, there's no guarantee 
the trea ty — w h ich re q u ire s 67 
votes — will be ratified. But it's still 
worth the effort, he said.

The United States has not con­
ducted a full-fledged nuclear test 
since 1992, although it conducted 
tests on two nuclear devices in 1997 
using chemical, rather than nuclear, 
explosions.

In dia and P ak istan conducted 
tests last year, China in 1996 and 
France in 1995-1996.

No date was immediately set for Brdjanin's arraign­

He w as ex p e cted to a rriv e in The H ag u e la te r 

Tuesday.

The p arty of p ro -W e ste rn B o sn ian Se rb P rim e 
Minister Milorad Dodik condemned the arrest and the 
tribunal's policy of secretly indicting suspects.

The war crimes tribunal keeps an unknown number 
of indictments secret until an arrest is made in order to 
prevent the accused from fleeing.

Prior to his arrest, Brdjanin headed a small, moderate 
party that holds two assembly seats in the Serb-ruled 
part of Bosnia.

Following the arrest, American citizens were warned 
by the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo to avoid the Banja 
Luka area and "limit their exposure" elsewhere in the 
Serb half of Bosnia.

The war crimes tribunal has 65 suspects under public 
indictment. Brdjanin was the 28th suspect taken into 
custody.

Its m o st-w a n te d su sp e c t, Y u g o slav P re sid e n t 
Slobodan Milosevic, was charged in May with crimes 
against humanity and violating of the laws and cus­
toms of war, holding him responsible for rapes, mas­
sacres and deportations recounted by ethnic Albanians 
in Kosovo.

phone and uses his w ireless for 
all calls. He had no idea he could 
be charged for unanswered calls.

"I n e v e r re a lly p a id m u ch 
a tten tio n to it, h o n e stly . I ju st 
a ss u m e d ," he said . "It kind of 
stinks."

The industry's rationale is that 
every w ireless call uses the air­
waves regardless of whether the 
call is successful.

Of co u rse , re g u la r ca lls also 
use resources such as space on a 
fiber-optic cable.

But the com panies argu e that

they have far greater capacity in 
their cables than in their wireless 
channels, and that the dem ands 
of carrying a regular phone sig­
nal are negligible compared with 
those of a wireless signal.

"Y o u 're o ccu p y in g a channel. 
So when you make a connection, 
you get charged from the incep­
tion of when you seize that chan­
n el," exp lain ed Jeff B attch er, a 
BellSouth spokesman.

"For the most part,, it's always 

been that w ay," he said.

S prin t PCS is the only m ajor 
co m p an y th at tim es calls from 
"send-to-end," and charges for at

whether there's an answer.

C om m un ication s and BellSouth 
Mobility, the m eter usually starts 
running from "s e n d ," not from 
"hello."

Industry leader AT&T Wireless 
also starts the clock from "send" 
but doesn't charge for incomplete 
ca lls m ad e fro m a c u s to m e r 's 
home region.

Since many calling plans come 
w ith h u n d r e d s of m in u te s to 
burn each month, a lot of mobile 
ph one u sers ra re ly reach th eir 
limit and d on't need to pay addi­

time so he w on 't have to w orry 
about how long he talks or how 
many calls he makes. "I never go

But for those w ho freq u en tly 
exceed their m onthly allow ance 
or sign up for cheaper plans with 
sm a lle r tim e a llo tm e n ts, th o se 
first-m inute charges can be sub­
stantial.

Sheila A dkins, sp okesw om an

they would rather die than give up 
the fight.

"T h e re is no q u estio n of a 
retreat. ... If we don't fight now, 
Indians will push forward in our 
area," said M oham mad Shoaib, a 
M u slim reb el fresh from th ree 
weeks of fighting.

C o n d itio n s on the m o u n tain 
peaks are horrific, Shoaib said. The 
bitter cold, snow, and lack of oxy­
gen at 17,000 feet is the soldiers' 
greatest enemy — not the Indian 
soldiers, he said.

"The faces of many of the muja- 
hedeen have been burned by the 
sn ow ... one can even see th eir 
nose bone ... but still none of them 
want to stop fighting," he said.

Ram inder Singh Jassal, India's 
Foreign Ministry spokesman, said 
India did not plan to p ro vid e a

until all infiltrators were gone.

The right-wing Jamaat-e-Islami

Sharif of "treaso n ," but “tailed to 
attract much support for nation­
wide protests Tuesday.

P a k ista n 's

initiatives without consulting law­

Pakistan has pushed for allow­
ing Kashmiris to vote on whether 
to join India or Pakistan. However, 
many Kashmiris say they want full

rejects the idea of a referendum.

The fighting has killed about 700

Indian soldiers, Indian m ilitary 
officials say. Those numbers can­
not be independently confirmed.

 WORLD & NATION T h e D a ily T e x a n 
Clinton continues crusade in Delta

WEDNESDAY, JUD 7,1999

Associated Press

C L A R K SD A L E , M iss. — W ith 
boarded-up buildings all around him, 
President Clinton walked down a main 
street here Tuesday, talking up jobs 
and investment that can breathe new 
life into this virtually forgotten town on 
the Mississippi Delta.

But the promise of jobs and a blos­
soming economy meant little to Flora 
Bell Clay, 61, disabled after a heart 
attack and needing help to keep her 
hom e inhabitable. Her income is too 
low to get loans, and local organiza­
tions didn't help.

"I can't pay nothing when I ain't got 
nothing," Clay said, waiting under a 
blazing sun to talk to Clinton

The president said he hoped private 
m o ney he is try in g to lev erag e for 
places like Clarksdale can ultimately 
solve problems like Clay's, from dilap­
idated housing to inferior schools.

"IFs not just that there's not enough 
m oney in this area for good invest­
ment. Som ebody has to decide it's a 
good investment," Clinton told about 
600 people gathered in Waterfield Cab­
inets' hot, tin-roofed warehouse.

The president was announcing $46.5 
m illion in com m unity developm ent 
grants, including $15 million for the 
Mississippi Delta, where, he said, the 
poverty and unemployment rates far 
exceed national averages. Later Tues­
day, he was joining a Bank of America 
executive in East St. Louis, 111., to out­

MAS AGUA, POR FAVOR

line a new $500 million capital invest­
ment fund.

The announcem ents w ere part of 
Clinton's four-day tour through poor 
communities from Appalachia to Los 
Angeles, highlighting what the admin­
istration is touting as the "untapped 
markets" in America's inner cities and 
rural areas.

The tour also called attention to suc­
cessful local projects. Waterfield Cabi­
nets, for example, was opened with a 
secured loan from the Enterprise Cor­
poration of the Delta, which provides 
capital and credit to small businesses 
that wouldn't qualify for conventional 
loans.

The president, accompanied by Rep. 
Benny Thompson, D-Miss., and Mayor 
R ich ard W ebster, w alk ed past the 
abandoned New Roxy Theater and the 
Pac Man game room to the com er of 
Issaqu en a A ven ue and D r. M artin 
Luther King Drive. A crowd cheered 
and chanted, "W elcom e, B ill," and, 
"D on't mess with Bill." A large night­
club across the street, C lub C h am ­
pagne, sat shuttered and closed.

For an em pow erm ent zone area, 
there was little economic activity. Some 
residents said $40 million in empower­
ment funds is not finding its way here, 
and wanted Clinton to know that.

"W e need a sit-down meeting, not in 
this hot sun, so we can tell him the real 
issues that face the people in the Mis­
sissippi Delta," said Henry Bonner, 41, 
of nearby Mound Bayou. "The playing 
field needs to be leveled. And the lend­

ing institutions are so racist it's a crying 
shame."

Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, 
accom p anyin g the p resid en t along 
with some corporate leaders and Cabi­
net secretaries, said: "W hen you look at 
the m arket, it's not ju st race. These 
areas have been denied access to capi­
tal. Now it's the resources gap."

"T o a great extent, this is a money 
problem," Clinton said. "There is not 
an even distribution of access to capi­
tal. That is something we want to fix."

G reg C alh ou n , 47, from M o n t­
gomery, Ala., whose Calhoun Enter­
p rises ow ns the 1 4 -sto re C alh ou n 
Foods-Bigbear Superm arket chain in 
Alabama and Georgia, said his compa­
ny had $81 million in revenue last year 
but only a $300,000 line of credit. To 
continue growing, opening stores in 
places like Clarksdale, he needs a $2 
m illion line of credit, said Calhoun, 
who was part of Clinton's entourage in 
Mississippi.

"I'm back at a time where I need it 
just as bad as I did when I first started," 
Calhoun said, when he had to pay 22 
percent interest to borrow money. "I 
keep having to prove myself, and I've 
been out here 15 years."

Cathy Bessant, a Bank of America 
vice president, committed $100 million 
to th e C o m m u n ity D ev elo p m en t 
Financial Institutions Fund, which pro­
vided the grants Clinton announced 
Tuesday. Later in the day, she was 
announcing formation of a $500 mil­
lion capital investment fund targeted at

often-overlooked communities.

"There is real money to be made in 
these m a rk e ts," B essant said. "W e 
think we can be even more successful 
when we create markets that work in 
inner cities."

Andrew Cuomo, secretary of Hous­
ing and Urban Development, was pre­
senting a study that estimates inner- 
city residents possess $331 billion in 
purchasing power.

"This is not about charity," Cuomo

said. "It's about investment."

In Clarksdale, Clinton ducked into a 
flow er shop and talked with ow ner 
Shirley Fair and three other smaU-busi- 
ness ow n ers. T hen he g reeted the 
crowd outside, eventually reaching 
Qay.

Although she did grasp his hand 
and told him her dilemma, she didn't 
get her house fixed. "I told him I need 
help bad. He never did sav I could get 
help."

Racist murderer 
had illegal guns

Associated Press

CHICAGO — The white suprema­
cist suspect in last weekend's deadly 
two-state shooting spree got his guns 
last month from an illegal gun dealer, a 
federal agent said Tuesday.

Benjamin Nathaniel Smith bought 
the guns from an unlicensed gun deal­
er in the Peoria area, said Jerry Singer, 
a special agent for the federal Bureau 
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

The rampage, which included shot st­
ings of m inorities in several Illinois 
cities and in Bloomington, Ind., ended 
Sunday with Smith committing suicide 
as police tried to arrest him in the 
southern Illinois town of Salem.

Singer said Smith bought a Bryco 
.380-caliber sem iautom atic handgun 
on June 26 — days after he was turned 
away from a licensed gun shop. Then 
on June 29, Smith bought a .22-caliber 
pistol, Singer said.

Singer said the ATF had already 
been investigating the unlicensed deal­
er before Smith bought the guns. The 
person's name has been turned over to 
the U.S. attorney's office in Springfield 
for possible charges, he said.

Skokie police Sgt. Michael Ruth, a 
spokesman for the task force oversee­

ing the case, said Tuesday that investi­
gators had determined that Smith tried 
to make a purchase at a Peona Heights 
gun dealer June 23. He said Smith was 
turned dow n because one of his ex­
girlfriends, Elizabeth Sahr, had filed for 
an order for protection against him. 
The two-year order took effect in April 
1998.

Tony Schneider, owner of the shop, 
the Heights Gun and Hunter Supplies, 
confirm ed in a telephone interview 
that Smith was there. He said he tried 
to buy two 9 mm handguns, a shotgun 
and ammunition. He said Smith was 
calm when told on June 24 that the 
background check was complete and 
he couldn't have the items

Lt. Tony Sanders, a spokesman tor 
the Illinois State Police, said the state 
issued Sm ith a firearm s ow ners ID 
card on June 18. He said Smith was 
able to get it because of errors in the 
order for protection, which — among 
other things — listed Sm ith's middle 
initial as "A ."

But then after the Ju n e 23 b a ck ­
ground check had turned up the pro­
tection order, the card w-as revoked on 
June 30, two days before the shixiting 
spree began.

Revellers cool down with water thrown from a balcony during the start of the San Fermin fiesta celebrations in Pam­
plona s main square Tuesday. Thousands of people flock to Pamplona every year for the bull runs which start July 7 
when people run with fighting bulls through the streets of this northern Spanish city.

Newly-elected Israeli prime minister swom-in

Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Ehud Barak 
took the oath of office today as 
Israel's new prim e m inister, 
ushering in a new government 
he said would seek peace with 
the country's Arab neighbors 
and the Palestinians.

"From here and today, I call 
on all the region's leaders to 
stretdh out their hands to meet 
ou r ou tstretched hand s and 
forge a peace of the b ra v e ," 
Barak said in an impassioned 
inaugural speech to the Knes­
set.

"I do not stand alone on this 
podium ," said Barak, Israel's 
so ld ie r. 
m o st d eco rated 
"Together with me are those 
w ho returned at daw n from 
the bombs of the night, on their 
sh ou ld ers blood y stretch ers 
and on them friends empty of 
any spirit of life."

Barak succeeded Benjamin 
N etanyahu, who he soundly 
defeated in the M ay 17 elec­
tions. The Labor leader forged 
his 18-member Cabinet during 
six weeks of negotiations that 
left some members of his o w t i

p arty d isg ru n tled o v er not 
receiving the ministerial posts 
they expected.

The Knesset overwhelming­
ly approved Barak's Cabinet, a 
mostly dovish assembly com­
mitted to his vision of ceding 
territory for peace. Barak won 
support from 75 Knesset mem­
bers. Voting against him were 
29 of the Knesset7s 120 legisla­
tors; 11 abstained.

In his address to legislators, 
B arak calle d on the U n ited 
S ta te s and A rab n atio n s — 
including Egypt, Jordan and 
Morocco to help reach a negoti­
ated solu tion to the M id dle 
East conflict.

And he said he would nego­
tiate peace with Syria on the 
basis of U.N. resolutions 242 
and 336, the clearest signal so 
far that Barak intends to offer 
Damascus much of the disput­
ed Golan Heights in exchange 
for full peace.

Barak also repeated a pledge 
to return Israeli soldiers from 
Lebanon within a year.

As to the Palestinians, the 
new prim e m inister said: "I 
know not only the pain of my 
people, but recognize the pain

of the Palestinian people. We 
m ust not dwell on historical 
m istak es, bu t lo o k to the 
future."

P ale stin ian lea d e r Y asser 
Arafat appeared reassured by 
Barak's emphasis on simulta­
neous peace talks.

"W e are read y to w ork 
together to achieve the peace of 
the brave," he said. "The Pales­
tinian track is the central issue 
in the Arab w’orld."

N etan y ah u , w ho q u it as 
Likud leader after his election 
defeat, resigned from parlia­
ment today. He listened to the 
new prim e m in iste r w ith a 
stone face, but nodded when 
B arak said th eir p erso n al 
frien d sh ip w ould rem ain 
unshaken.

In naming his Cabinet minis­
ters Monday, Barak said peace 
negotiations would be his first 
priority.

"I know we have thousands 
o f p ro b lem s on the p u b lic 
ag en d a," Barak said . "[B u t] 
nothing is more important in 
my view than that suprem e 
mission ... putting an end to the 
100-year conflict in the Middle 
East."

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, center left, gestures as he speaks to former Prime Minister Shimon Peres at 
the Knesset in Jerusalem Tuesday. As Barak prepared to swear in his Cabinet Tuesday, he pledged to work 
simultaneously for peace with all of Israel's Arab neighbors, saying his hands are stretched out in peace Barak 
called on the Palestinians to forget the pain of the past and look to a brighter future.

^" M EXICO CITY — For the first time 
L- in their 11-w eek strike, students at

from a sym bolic 2 cents to $145. In 
early June, the university agreed to

students continued the strike, saying 
other demands had not been met.

rhe demands included restoring the

I illikum is the largest killer whale in

Fishermen blockade 
Mexican port

CIU D A D DEL CARM EN, Mexico
I housands of fishermen blockaded 
a major oil port on Tuesday, accusing a 
state-owned refinery of causing dam­
age to fisheries.

A b o u t 4 ,5 0 0 fish e rm e n and 500 
shrimping boat crews joined the block­
ade around Ciudad del Carmen in the 
southern Gulf of Mexico, according to 
the port authoritv.

F ish e rm en hav e long accu sed 
Petróleos Mexicanos, the state-owned 
oil monopoly known as I’emex, of pol­
luting fishing areas. The conflict inten­
sified last week w'hen two fishermen 
died after their boat w as allegedly 
rammed by a Navy patrol enforcing 
fishing restrictions.

ih e protest began because of the 
deaths of two fishermen who did not 
rt spect fishing restrictions," port offi­
cial Jose Perez Galan said. "A nother 
problem is the pollution caused by 
Pemex in fishing areas."

P em ex u ses the p o rt to sh u ttle 
em ployees to and from its sea plat­
forms.

Í his is causing serious damages to 
the company," said Jose Cruz Garcia, 
an oth er port au th ority official. All 
activity at the refinery was suspended 
and the fishermen had taken over 300 
small ships operated by Pemex, the 
port authority reported.

K A R G IL, India — Pakistani shells

President Clinton met with Pakistani 
Prim e M inister N aw az Sh arif and 
raised hopes of a speedy end to the 
tw o-m onth-old battle in the snow ­
capped Himalayas.

U S. officials in W ashington said

Last year Fortune 500 magazine called Austin 
the best place to do business in the United States. 
They touted Austin's high-tech industries and the 
growing number of wealthy households. The 
economy is booming, and as Congressman Lloyd 
Doggett might say, "we can all aspire to be the 
next Michael Dell."

But aspirations like these are really just pipe 
dreams in today's ever more unequal society. The 
"economic upswing" has actually made it more 
difficult now than at any time in recent history to 
move your family from Manor Road to Westlake 
Hills. '

Yet the media continues to portray Austin and 
America as a carefree, wealthy society, even when 
the numbers show otherwise. An example is the 
cover story in the latest issue of Newsweek — 
"They're Rich (And You're Not)." The angle of 
the article is baffling, but it does contain some 
clues to our economic reality.

The article presumably expands upon a 
Newsweek poll where 61 percent of respondents 
said they've missed the boom and 72 percent feel 
more social pressure to keep up. Rather than 
explore why so many are missing out on prosper­
ity or whether social pressure has anything to do 
with record levels of debt, the article focuses on 
profiling some of the new, nonconventional, 
cyber, super-rich. Aside from this tiny minority of 
Americans, everyone else is painted as jealous,

C a r l V il l a r r e a l

unlucky brats. Although there was no poll ques­
tion about envy, the cover of the magazine por­
trays a middle class male in despair. "Everyone's 
getting rich but me!" he thinks. And such senti­
ment is dubbed "The Whine of '99."

People shouldn't be whining; they should be 
fuming. The booming economy has indeed led to 
lower unemployment, but most people are work­
ing harder for the same or less pay. The article 
acknowledges this, claiming that the work ethic 
of the past isn't the key to wealth anymore — luck 
plays an increasing role. But there is no proof that 
hard work was ever the best route to wealth. 
Throughout American history two major factors 
have played a role in becoming rich: luck and the 
ability to exploit people.

Newsweek, however, seems to portray an Amer­
ica far removed from a past era of economic suc­
cess through toil and hard labor. "At least when 
robber barons made their fortunes in the late 19th 
century," the author writes, "there was general 
agreement they worked long and hard to get 
them." It is not clear where the author finds such 
general agreement, surely not in the city-wide 
strikes and workers' rebellions of the time. The 
fact that these men were called "robber barons"

should be sufficient to raise doubts about his the­
sis.

1 he article is filled with such contradictions. 
There are numerous statements about Americans 
feeling richer, but orange boxes highlight statis­
tics on the same page that read, "only 13 percent 
think there's a good chance they'll ever get rich in 
their current jobs."

The story should have been about the fact that 
income distribution is the most unequal it has 
been since official Census counting began in 1947, 
and even more unequal than what economists say 
existed at the early part of this century. Wealth 
distribution is even worse. Or perhaps the focus 
could have been on the Luxembourg Income 
Study that shows that the U.S. has the smallest 
middle class and the largest proportion of poor 
people out of all the industrialized countries in 
the world.

We can't all be Michael Dell simply because 
wealth does not come from thin air. Wealth is cre­
ated through work — providing services, build­
ing houses, catching fish, teaching children, 
designing machines. When a few people are mak­
ing record profits while others are watching the 
boom pass them by, it's usually the latter who are 
working harder and longer creating those profits, 
and the former keeping more for themselves.

I he Kaplan Newsweek College Catalog 2000 named our university one of 
the best tuition values in the nation. While one has to be wary of a publica­
tion that named Texas A&M to its list of the "Nation's Trendiest Schools" 
while omitting UT, the point that the University, comparatively, is an edu­
cational bargain is still valid.

ln-st.ite students taking 15 hours per semester spend about three grand 
on tuition and fees each year. 1 hat figure would be about seven times high­
er at many public and private universities across the country that are on the 
University's academic level or even below it. U.S. News and World Report 
rankings aside, this University has some of the best academic programs in 
the country — especially in areas such as business and engineering.

Before we pat ourselves on the back too much though, it is is important 
to note that many Texans can't afford the University's relatively low tuition 
rates due to shortages in financial aid. And while tuition here won't 
approach the $20,000 one might pay at a private university any time soon, 
UT tuition and fees have risen 224 percent since 1989.

The costs of other expenses such as housing weren't taken into account in 
the Kaplan survey. Living on the UT campus is certainly affordable — 
although room and board for the UT dorms have risen 47 percent since 1989 
— but the university doesn't have nearly enough beds for all the freshman, 
much less upperclassmen, who want to live there. These students are forced 
into an Austin rental market that seems to many ridiculously over-inflated.
Nonetheless, a UT education is well worth the price. For a school that can 
consistently count itself among the top academic institutions in the country, 
the University is indeed an educational bargain, especially when compared 
to the prohibitively high costs of a college education in other parts of the 
country. Students should pay close attention though, for if current trends 
continue, we may not be able to say that much longer.

D ia g o n a l D ist r e ss

Most of us at this university who have been here a few years remember 
what Dean Keeton street was like before the installation of diagonal cross­
walks. Crossing the street was almost impossible during mid-day — com­
peting with cars making left turns and sprinting to make the "walk" sign 
wasn't terribly uncommon.

For pedestrians on campus with a physical handicap, the dangers were 
especially threatening. Wheelchair-bound students often had to use the 
RLM bridge during peak traffic hours wasting precious time and energy 
getting to class.

So last year, when the city placed diagonal crosswalks on the street, most 
residents hailed the decision, even if it caused momentary inconvenience to 
drivers who had to wait longer at red lights. The system's been in place 
now for a year, and while it has been successful for the most part, there's 
one glaring deficiency which should be quickly fixed by the city: the fact 
that the diagonal crosswalks operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

When you're driving home at 1:30 a.m. on Dean Keeton, you just don't 
see that many pedestrians on the road. Waiting at the intersection for these 
nonexistent pedestrians to use the beautifully marked diagonal crosswalks 
is incredibly frustrating to say the least.

It baffles the imagination to consider exactly what possessed city officials 
to make these crosswalks operate around the clock. This complete disre­
gard for common sense all too often permeates behavior of officials in other 
cities, but generally Austin has been an exception to these kinds of over­
sights.

Hopefully, someone in city hall will read this and make the necessary 
adjustments to place the diagonal crosswalks on a daytime timer. It would 
be disappointing to see such a simple solution to this problem slip through
the cracks of city bureaucracy.

Sprawl. You know the symptoms: declining air quali­
ty, traffic congestion, suburban monotony and corporate 
take-over of the local bookstore, bar, cafe, etc. If sprawl 
is the problem then the New Urbanists have the solu- 
tion, or so we are told by everyone from A1 Gore to 
Mayor Watson.

I 

Lament the death of local haunts like Quackenbush's 
and Les Amis? You don't have to be a bleeding heart lib­
eral to feel that somehow the economic boom locally 
and nationally is now rearing an ugly head, because 
now even corporate America has joined the "Smart 
Growth"bandwagon of the New Urbanists.

' 

The folks at Disney have apparently found an answer 
for suburban malaise. The town of Celebration, Florida 
is a 'neo-traditional neighborhood,' virtually entirely 
owned by the same folks who were already on their way

to monopolizing the entertainment industry.

Celebration is a planned community which is serving 
as a sort of utopian model for advocates of "Smart 
Growth" everywhere, including here in Austin. The 
small Florida town smacks of a quaint pre-World War II 
friendly community — just like the one your grandpa 
used to tell you about where you went to the butcher for 
meat, the soda fountain for town gossip and the milliner 
(that's a hat store) for your custom made pork-pie hat.

Don't get too nostalgic about the traditional America 
in Celebration, however. With typical real estate values 
around $400,000 for a new three bedroom house, you 
probably won't see too many soup kitchens and unem­
ployment lines. In fact, all the problems typical of urban 
America like the ones currently plaguing Austin are 
curiously absent in this grid-plan, brownstone para­
digm of New Urbanism.

The wealthy developers of New Urbanism are simply 
unwilling to deal with the challenge of making a livable 
city for all and are given no incentive to by a greedy city 
council concerned solely with "investment."

Disney, in creating Celebration, has revived Puritan

ideology reminiscent of the first villages of New Eng­
land. Corporate America has created a utopian commu­
nity at the expense of all those either not privileged 
enough to join in the insipid nostalgic craze for that 
"hometown feel," or those who just find it implicitly 
racist. Let us not forget that pre-World War II America 
was not just tom apart by the Depression, but by racial 
segregation as well.

It couldn't happen in Austin, you say. Not in this lib­
eral, laid-back bohemian mecca. Austin has always been 
smarter and more conscientious than say Houston or 
Dallas, and especially South Florida, right? Perhaps, but 
before we accept wholesale the "Smart Growth" version 
of the New American City that A1 Gore is milking for all 
it's worth, consider the effect that "Smart Growth" poli­
cies are already having for the locals.

The current plan to revitalize Austin's downtown 
calls for what is euphemistically termed "tax abate­
ment" for corporations. It will offer free city services to 
companies who already have enough money to invest in 
over-priced downtown real estate, as well as remove the 
Day Labor center. The center is where some the city's

poorest laborers, mostly immigrants who do not own a 
car, go to find temporary work.

Why move this convenient location to sprawling 
North Austin? Business leaders and Smart Growthers 
simply don't want hard-working immigrant laborers 
polluting their neat little utopia.

You don't have to be a day laborer or a minority to get 
squeezed out by Smart Growth, however. The city is 
currently offering incentives to all "sustainable develop­
ment" east of Mo-Pac and south of 290. This is the sup­
posed "urban core" of Austin where the average cost of 
an apartment increased by 76 percent from 1990 to 1998, 
making such 'traditional neighborhoods' like Hyde Park 
all but unaffordable to the traditional resident: the col­
lege student.
While 

is finally being 
addressed after years of reckless environmental and aes­
thetic abuse by corporate America, we should be sure 
that the "Celebration" of the New Urbanism includes all 
that call the city home.

Who put Bush at the top of the front 
page?

For some reason, the Texan yesterday headlined the 
news that "Bush won't take pay during campaign trips." 
This is far from an impressive gesture: according to 
Bush's recent financial disclosure, his income last year 
was between $2 and $10 million (and his net worth 
exceeds $8 million). If Bush campaigned outside of 
Texas for all of next year, he would give up $115,345, or 
between 1 15% and 5.76% of his income. This would be 
like someone with a $30,000 annual income (the US per 
capita average) giving up between $1 and $5 a day. Not 
exactly newsworthy.

'appropriateness'.
This policing of the thoughts of the campus community 
belittles the intellectual and moral abilities of all of us.

I understand that, as reporters-in-training, the Texan 
staff is trying to demonstrate some initiative in inves­
tigative reporting. But please, we are presumably all 
adults here, and we can choose to use information or not 
as we like. If Ms. Mann is afraid of being exposed to

Pedestrian rant

Thanks to Kathleen Langstaff for her comment on the 
speeding problem on Dean Keeton. I have also encoun­
tered some extremely inconsiderate motorists on that 
street, some of whom appear to be unable to read.

That's right — look 
more carefully at the 
signs. All the intersec­
tions on Dean Keeton (at 
University, 
Whitis, 
Wichita, Speedway, and San Jacinto) have clearly visible 
signs marked "No Right Turn on Red." I mention this 
because I have nearly been run over at almost every one 
of these intersections while crossing legally on a 
"W ALK" signal. Thanks to that, I now make a point of 
leaving too little room on the right to drive by illegally.

As if that weren't bad enough, many drivers will cut 
around those who choose to follow the rules, squeezing 
by to make their right on red. 1 have had four cars in a 
row nearly take my bumper off during one red light at 
Dean Keeton and Whitis despite all my efforts to draw 
their attention to the signs, and frequently hear horns 
blasting and obscenities screamed at drivers that don't 
turn right on red.

Look, folks, the rules apply to all of us. If I have to sit 
at the light until it turns green before I can turn, so do 
you. If you don't like the law, get it changed, but until it 
is, don't expect me to get out of your way.

Russian scientists honor UT professor

he d id n 't expect the election.

"I w as surprised to hear ab o u t it,

Sport utility vehicles, SUVs, fill Interstate H ighw ay 35 in Austin. SU V s are under scrutiny because of their low er stan­
dards of safety and fuel efficiency. The vehicles are often designated as light-duty trucks rather than passe nger cars 
and are therefore exempt from regulations designed to make cars safer and more fuel efficient.

Capital Metro focusing
44 It’s time to

Monty Markiand
Daily Texan Staff

Traffic co ngestion is the A ustin 
a re a 's "m o st se rio u s p ro b le m ," 
according to 70 percent of residents 
s u rv e y e d by th e A u stin A rea in 
Motion program, city transportation 
officials announced at a press confer­
ence Tuesday.

The C apital M etro p olitan T rans­
portation Authority, which initiated 
the Austin Area in Motion communi­
ty ou treach p ro g ram , released the 
findings along w ith seven possible 
solutions to Austin's growing mobili­
ty problems. But officials said there is 
no single panacea for traffic woes.

"It's time to shatter the m yth that 
light rail alone or more roads alone 
a re th e s o lu tio n for m o v in g th e 
A ustin area into the next century," 
said Karen Rae, general m anager of 
Capital Metro. "We need a combina­
tion of solutions to really m ake an 
impact."

C apital M etro officials said they 
w o u ld n a rro w the list of p o ssible 
solutions dow n to four public trans­
p o rta tio n o p tio n s a n d c o n d u c t a 
d e ta ile d m odel a n a ly sis later this 
summer.

Light rail receives the lion's share 
of attention, and any proposed plan 
draws comparison to the rail systems 
in other cities, such as Dallas. High- 
occupancy vehicle lanes, busw ay s

shatter the myth that 
light rail alone or more 
roads alone are the solu­
tion for moving the 
Austin are into the next 
century.”

—Karen Rae, general manager 
of Capital Metro

and commuter rail options were also 
in clu d e d in C apital M etro 's list of 
solutions.

Light rail has also received a great 
deal of popular support. The Capital 
Metro study reveals that ¿8 percent of 
Austin-area residents w ould support 
light rail at the ballot box.

But Capital M etro officials said a 
"surprising" 54 percent of Austinites 
fear a light-rail ballot initiative would 
fail for lack of support.

Texas Community Project, an orga­
nization focused on various city and 
community issues — including trans­
po rtatio n problem s, su p p o rts light 
rail in Austin.

"We are advocating light rail, com­
m uter rail and busways," said Sparky

Anderson, state program director for 
TCP. "People are starting to see the 
crisis in motion. We're going to have 
to look at some hardcore solutions."

Commuter rail options were also 
discussed. Commuter rail would use 
existing rail equipment for long com­
muter trips with infrequent station 
stops, such as a line betw een San 
Antonio and Austin with four stops. 
Lines could also run to suburbs such 
as Leander or Round Rock using 
existing rails.

Light rail differs from commuter 
rail because it has frequent station 
stops and newly-constructed electric 
railways.

In addition to rail options, Capital 
Metro will examine restructuring cur­
rent traffic flow.

One such restructuring solution — 
HOV lanes — will receive increased 
attention over the course of this year, 
when the Texas Department of Trans­
portation stu d ies p oten tial HOV 
optioná and their impact.

Capital Metro proposed HOV lanes 
for the Interstate H ighw ay 35 and 
Loop 1/U.S. Highway 183 corridors. 
The Texas Department of Transporta­
tion will release an analysis of HOV 
ridership and costs later this year.

Other proposed options include 
busways, which connect dedicated 
bus lanes to the proposed 1-35 HOV 
lanes, and on -street operation

improvements that would give buses 
preferential treatment in a variety of 
traffic conditions.

Whatever the solution, over 80 per­
cent of survey resp on d en ts said 
changing people's traffic behaviors is 
vital to alleviating A ustin's traffic 
problems.

The Capital Metro board of direc­
tors passed a resolution in April to 
hold a referendum on or before 
November 2000 asking Austin-area 
voters to decide the region's future 
transit plans. Light rail will be includ­
ed on the referendum.

"People in Austin realize they're 
going to have to modify their behav­
iors," Rae said. "[But] before people 
decide on their preferred solutions, 
w e hop e th ey'll take the tim e to 
understand the financial and techni­
cal impacts of each option."

Concerned residents will have an 
opportunity to learn more about the 
financial and technical impacts at the 
Austin Area in M otion community 
transportation workshop, Sat. July 17 
at the Thompson Conference Center 
on the UT campus.

The center is located at the comer 
of Red River and 26th streets, and the 
discussion will open at 8:30 a.m. and 
run until noon.

Austin Area in M otion hopes to 
reach 500,000 area residents for feed­
back.

Doctored tapes delay Cisneros trial

Associated Press

W ASHINGTON — D efense 
lawyers for Henry Cisneros forged 
ahead Tuesday with their argument 
that tapes secretly made by the former 
H o using se c re ta ry 's ex-m istress 
shouldn't be admitted at his Septem­
ber conspiracy trial because they con­
stitute "tampered" evidence.

Exhibit A in the defense's case was a 
tape recording of a Dec. 3, 1992 phone 
conversation betw een Cisneros and 
Linda Jones. While phone company 
records indicate the call lasted 42 min­
utes, only 20 minutes of the conversa­
tion were captured on the tape that 
Jones provided federal investigators, 
Cisneros lawyer Barry Simon said.

This is as good an example as you 
can get," Simon said as he repeatedly 
accused Jones of an "editing expedi­
tion."

Cisneros' legal team contends all 88 
tapes handed over by Jones — 26 of 
which the governm ent is seeking to 
use at trial — are inadmissible because 
they are copies, in some cases altered, 
of since-destroyed originals.

The government's special prosecu­
tors say only four of the 26 tapes were 
edited by Jones, largely to rem ove 
in crim in atin g section s w h ere she 
threatened Cisneros.

The judge presiding over the case 
has expressed sk ep ticism at the 
defense's argum ent that nothing on 
the tapes can be used because the 
recordings themselves are inadmissi­
ble.

U.S. District Judge Stanley Sporkin 
reiterated his view Tuesday that Cis­
neros' lawyers m ust prove that the 
actual snippets of conversation the 
government is seeking to use at trial 
d id n 't occur. The defense has not 
charged that Jones manufactured con­
versations by pasting together differ­
ent sections, and the governm ent's 
tape expert testified he found no evi­
dence of splicing.

Let's get down to the brass tacks 
here," said Sporkin, who is expressing 
growing irritation at the lengthy pre­
trial m aneuverings. "The relevant 
issue here is: The statements the gov­
ernment wants to put in, are they reli­

able or aren't they reliable?"

Simon rejected Sporkin's suggestion 
th at he could p u t C isneros on the 
stand to refute the tapes and Jones' 
recollection of the conversations, say­
ing the defense has no b u rd e n of 
proof.

The 1992 tape reflects several spots 
where pauses in recording occurred, 
th e g o v e rn m e n t's 
tap e ex p ert 
acknow ledged as a pivotal pretrial 
hearing on the tapes' adm issibility 
entered its eighth day.

The g o v e rn m e n t m ain tain s the 
pauses on that tape and the 25 others 
are for innocuous reasons — a halt in 
taping because Jones had to answer 
the doorbell, do the laundry or attend 
to other "life events."

The defense, how ever, contends 
that the pauses reflect instances where 
she was deleting information harmful 
to her or beneficial to Cisneros. She 
acknowledged on the witness stand 
that she edited out passages where she 
threatened to publicly reveal Cisneros' 
"hush money" payments to her if the 
money flow stopped.

Divorce ends in murder-suicide

Associated Press

DALLAS — It seem s Dr. S cott 
Stone had a fairly clear plan when he 
bought a one-way plane ticket from 
North Carolina to Texas and packed 
his will and a .40-caliber handgun in 
his suitcase.

When Stone arrived at Dallas-Fort 
W orth International A irport in the 
darkness early Monday morning, he 
promptly rented a car, drove around 
until daw n and then gunned dow n 
his ex-w ife in a qu iet sub d iv isio n 
north of the airport, police said.

Mansa Deneen Jackson, also a doc­
tor, was shot four times around 8 a.m. 
afte r Stone con fro n ted h er as she 
jogged on a path in Southlake.

Stone, 35, of I arboro, N.C., the 
put the gun under his own chin ar 
pulled the trigger. He had been hi< 
ing in a wooded area waiting for h 
ex-wife to approach.

"Obviously, he probably knew (tl 
morning jog) was a regular thing f< 
her," said Robert Finn, a polie 
spokesm an in Southlake, a Fo 
Worth suburb.

The killings leave two daughter 

ages 6 and 8, w ithout parents, 
divorce court in North Carolina la 
week awarded the mother custody < 
the girls, whose names were bein 
withheld.

The family had lived in North Ca

Dr. Jackson m oved to Y psilant

Mich., with the girls.

Finn said Tuesday investigators 
had found Stone's one-way American 
Airlines ticket among his belongings 
in a rental car near the shooting site. 
The car also contained luggage with a 
tag sh ow in g he had checked his 
handgun w ith Am erican officials 
before boarding the fligh t at the 
Raleigh-Durham airport.

Stone also brought a will, leaving 

all his assets to his two daughters.

"There w as also a letter found 
appointing an executor to Stone's 
estate with a check to retain his ser­
vices," Finn said. The name of the 
executor was unavailable.

"This was well-planned — definite­

ly a premeditated act," Finn said.

Investigators said family members 
had no idea there w as trouble 
between the divorced pair.

Dr. Jackson and her daughters 
apparently had been staying with 
Stone's sister and her husband so the 
girls could perform at the Suzuki 
Institute and Advanced String Camp 
for students of violin, viola and cello. 
The camp runs through Saturday at 
Texas Christian University.

An official w ith the camp con- * 

firmed the two girls were among the 
m usicians, but declined to say 
whether they had withdrawn since 
M ondays killing.

Stone apparently did not tell his ex- 
wife or his sister he was coining to 
Texas.

Finn said one of the conditions of 
the custody agreement was that Stone 
could spend six weeks with the girls 
in the summer. He said Dr. Jackson 
told Stone he could pick up the chil­
dren in Dallas.

After the shooting, Stone walked 
about a quarter-mile down the path 
before com m itting suicide, police 
said. A person riding a bike nearby 
saw the bodies and called the police.

&om the m e m * booklet fifed with images of Jtan-Luc Godanl's 
fetish «trees, Aima Karina, ft beoomes evident the band does not seek 
kitsch, but a redeemed sense of style. Vocalist Ian Svenkxis absohitel y 
means it when he cries *Powi to the people*

Urgent lyrics come # you atop fervescent grooves in scorchers 
like "Bom on the Floor f "Every Baby Cries tibe Same," "Untouchable 
Sound" and "Free Arthur Lee." Michelle Mae on bass and Steve 
Gamboa on drums create an edgy, yet cadent, rhythm section that 
rounds something Uke a taw Clash.

A message of non-conformity shines through diese infectious 
rounds. Far from relating any sort of sexual craving, the tide track 
proclaims: "The judge is here, the jury is in / Let him cast the first 
stone, the one who hasn't sinned/ I'm going to do it, let me be the 
one."

Consistently avoiding compromise, die Make-Up are die type of 
band people either absolutely love or loathe. Uke some new f u n d a ­
mentalist religion, the music offers no middle ground — other you 
believe or you don't. Praise die groove! -

— René Peñaloza-Galván

There's more beating going on in 
the West Mall than the kind involv­
ing Bibles. You may have seen seven 
guys drawing a crowd by stomping 
their feet, slapping their chests, and 
singing. That's Schrodinger's Cat, an 
ensem ble w hose u n iq u e b ran d of 
music mixes a cappella with body- 
produced percussions. The result is a 
loud, funky, almost tribal layering of 
complex beats.

Schrodinger's Cat was formed in 
1997 as a club here at the University. 
Heavily influenced by Bobby McFer- 
rin, the original nine m em bers' act 
consisted of singing, clapping, and 
slapping their chests w ith fists and 
op e n h a n d s. O ne day, fo u n d in g 
m em ber John Pointer saw a video­
tape of one of their performances and 
had a brainstorm.

"W atching the video, I realized 
that all you could hear was the slap­
p in g an d feet sto m p in g , so 
I 
rearranged all the body percussion to 
include our feet. After that, the beats 
became more complex, and it became 
a visual perform ance. We started 
coordinating more, and looking at 
things like STOMP, to reinforce the 
visual performance aspect."

The band evolved further as the 
members experienced over 10 lineup 
changes during the next two years.

Establishing a rapport should be 
no problem for Schrodinger's Cat, 
w ho are good friends off stage as 
well as on. Likable and friendly, the 
g ro u p also has a tw isted sense of 
hum or that comes out in their music. 
W hen it came to choosing a name, 
som e of their choices w ere a little 
odd, to say the least. They rejected 
"Chewbaccappella," and "Testostra- 
tone," b efore finally agreeing on 
Schrodinger's Cat, named after a the­
ory in quantum physics about a cat 
existing in tw o states, living and 
dead.

"W e ju st decided we w an te d a 
nam e that had nothing to do with 
m usic," says Pointer. "Som ething 
more like a band name than an a cap­
pella group name."

Definitely perform ance-oriented, 
Schrodinger's Cat dubs their sound 
"Big Beat A Cappella," and impress­
es audiences with their high-intensity 
shows. Covering songs as diverse as 
P eter G a b rie l's "In Y our Eyes," 
Prince's "When Doves Cry," and the 
South Park them e song, they have 
performed all over Austin as well as 
Chicago, San Antonio and at North­
w estern University. If you missed 
Saturday's show at Antone's, check 
out this Thursday's concert at Stubb's 
(5th and Red River streets).

Wenders utilizes unique global settings in documenting his characters
as the ultim ate b rid g e across tim e, 
G onzález becom es ageless 

streets.

Such tem poral dislocations p er­
m eate the entire film, w hich offers 
a broad palette of colors and tex­
tures. This is established from the 
opening: like som e long forgotten 
im a g e , th e m o d e rn A m s te rd a m 
stage is re n d e re d in m uted sepia 
tones, w hile vibrant saturated col­
ors restore the exhilaration of the 
p r e s e n t to H a v a n a 's ru n d o w n

Ultimately, W ender s strategy is 
one of total im m ersion —into the 
music, the myths, the personalities 
a n d th e is la n d its e lf, w ith all 
becoming one and the same. When 
the group arrives in New York for 
a final p e rfo rm a n c e at C arn eg ie 
Hall, M anhattan appears as a w on­
d erfu lly exotic sp ectacle to b o th 
their eyes and ours. A rem arkable 
achievem ent indeed.

 Kosovo

families

search for missing relatives

Th e D a ily Texan Wednesday, July 7, 1 9 9 9 Page 9

Associated Press

D JA K O V IC A , Yugoslavia — His fam­
ily clings to hope. But there's little rea­
son to believe Kastriot Zherka w asn't 
shot down by Serb police like so many
others, then dumped in a mass grave or 
a river, or burned to unidentifiable ash.

Zherka's wife, daughters, parents and 
sisters have no body to bury, and they 
are not alone. Community leaders say at 
least 1,200 men, wom en and children 
[are missing from Djakovica, more than 
has been reported from any other part 
• of Kosovo.

This city on the Albanian border has 
been a wellspring of Albanian national­
ism, and was brutally targeted during 
the Serb crackdown on Kosovo Albani- 
’ ans.

"We really need to know, if only to 
bury him properly," said Zherka's sister 
;Arta.

M any are likely dead, but some of the 
missing may be in Y ug oslav prisons. 
•Daloni Carlisle, the Red Cross spokes- 
•woman in Kosovo, says at least 2,000 
"security detainees" from the Kosovo 
w ar are being held, according to lists 
Y u g o s la v fed eral justice au th o rities 
reportedly shared with local officials.

Those lists have not been given to the 
Red Cross, and few A lb a n ia n s have 
been able to approach officials in Serb- 
dominated Yugoslavia for information 
about their missing loved ones.

Last month, Yugoslavia released 166 
prisoners to the Red Cross, and this 
week it passed on the names of 481 oth­
e r s that Red Cross officials w ill be able 
to v isit and put in contact w ith their

fam ilies. The o rg an iz a tio n also has 
received com p lain ts that n e a rly 300 
Serbs were abducted by the Albanian 
separatist Kosovo Liberation Arm y; the 
K L A denies holding anyone.

The Red Cross has called on both 
sides to negotiate prisoner releases, an 
issue that was overlooked in the U .N . 
resolution that ended Kosovo's w ar. 
That could be a lengthy process, said 
C a rlis le , n o tin g 19,000 peop le s till 
remain missing from unrest in the for­
mer Yugoslav republic of Bosnia.

"It's a very, very difficult situation for 
the fam ilies," C arlisle said. "They are 
livin g w ith absolute anguish. W e see 
them day after day ... and all we can do 
is listen to them."

E very morning, a few hundred rela­
tiv e s of the m issin g m arch s ile n tly 
through D jakovica. On Tuesday, one 
boy carried a sign: "H e lp me get m y 
fa th e r b ack ." M o th e rs c a rry pho- 
tographs of th eir m issing sons. The 
march ends at K L A offices, where a list 
of the missing grows day by day.

A rta Z h e rk a hitch ed a rid e to the 
Kosovo capital, Pristina, for a fruitless 
search of the Red Cross list. She has 
spoken to e ve ryo n e she can fin d in 
Djakovica who might know something 
about her brother. H e w as last seen 
being herded with other Albanians to a 
neighborhood alley, then shots w ere 
heard.

She has searched the alley and found 
identification cards belonging to other 
missing men, but nothing pointing to 
her brother.

She rarely discusses her search with

her parents.

" W e 'r e try in g to g iv e each other 
hope, Arta Zherka said, sitting on a 
porch shaded and sweetly scented by an 
old pine.

Hope is the only thing that keeps me 
alive," said her mother, Desanka, a thin 
woman with heart problems.

Several mass graves have been dis­
covered in and around Djakovica. More 
bodies are found every day — buried in 
gardens or under the rubble of burned 
houses, or resting in one of the rivers or 
streams that crisscross the city.

"There are a lot of bodies, a lot of 
g raves that w e k n o w ab o u t," said 
D ja k o v ic a 's d e p u ty m ayo r, A r d ia n 
G jini, w ho believes 40 percent of the 
city s missing are dead. "The identifica­
tion is v e ry d iffic u lt now. There are 
going to be a lot of people asking for 
th eir re la tiv e s w h o w ill n e ve r find 
them."

A rta Z h e rk a 's last g lim pse of her 
brother was M ay 7, when the 39-year- 
old accountant placed his 4-year-old 
daughter in her arms, then shooed his 
family away from a bridge at the foot of 
the hill where their home perches.

A battle that day between Serb forces 
surrounding their neighborhood and 
Albanian separatists in the mountains 
behind their house had prompted the 
Zherkas and several other families to 
flee.

They descended on foot, so it would 
be clear to Serb police and paramilitary 
forces that wom en and children were 
among them. Kastriot Zherka carried 4- 
year-old Arita. H is w ife Shukran and

10-month-old daughter Era had left a 
few weeks earlier to stay with family in 
neighboring Albania.

"W e got through one checkpoint, and 
a second B u t w h en w e got to the 
bridge, there was a jeep waiting for us," 
Arta Zherka recalled.

Two Serbian police officers in the jeep 
ordered the fighting-age men to line up 
on the bridge, waving through only the 
w om en, ch ild re n and old men. The 
women at first refused to be separated, 
but seeing the police officers grow ner­
vous, decided it was best to leave.

A rta learned later that her brother 
and about 30 other men on tj^e bridge 
were separated into two groups. One 
man who escaped said his group was 
led to a garden, where police started fir­
ing on them.

She believes her brother was in the 
second group, w hich was taken to a 
nearby alley. A woman who lived there 
said later she heard shots, and saw the 
street p iled w ith bodies. The bodies 
were trucked away the next morning.

They tell Arita her father is working 
in Pristina. But the little girl remembers 
leaving him w ith "police w ith guns," 
and does not believe her aunt or grand­
parents.

His mother berates herself.
"She says all the time, H ow could I 
leave him? W hat was he thinking when 
he watched us leave?"' Arta said. "A ll 
of us who were there, we wonder what 
would have happened if we had stayed.
It couldn't have been worse than this."

Longhorn Horoscopes

Aries (M ar. 21-Apr. 19): Take the
time to appreciate how far you’ve 
come and reward yourself for a job 
w ell done. You w ill find clarity in 
thinking, not doing. Plan im prove­
ments later on, w hen you have a 
clearer perspective.

Taurus (A p r. 20-May 20): H on­
esty about your shortcomings w ill 
bring you all the support you need. 
Don't expect to be able to do every­
th in g ; no one can. W h en others 
pitch in too, the whole group bene­
fits.

G em in i (M a y 21-June 20): You
m ay be feeling p a rticu la rly em o­
tional right now, so take some extra 
tim e to take care of yo u rself and 
nurture yourself. You m ight find 
that the thing you’ve been dreading 
to tell someone might better be said 
later.

C ancer (Ju n e 21-July 22): Take 
part in soothing activities and ritu­
als, w hether it's cooking, taking a 
long bath or settlin g dow n for a 
nap. You are among friends now, 
and you are also lucky to be your 
ow n best frie n d . O n ce y o u 'v e 
caught your breath and you're feel­
ing refreshed, take a little time to 
consider where you're going next.

Leo (Ju ly 23-Áug. 22): Although

the outcom e you got m ay not be 
w h at yo u w ere h o p in g fo r, the 
process doesn't have to be unpleas­
ant. Rash words and actions w ill do 
nothing to help yo u r cause. The 
object is to get along and have as 
positive an experience as possible.

V irg o (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put on 
the brakes and reconsider things. 
D on't allo w yo u rse lf to act u n til 
you h ave a ll the d ata. Take a 
breather, walk aw ay from the situa­
tion if you need to and most of all, 
don't act rashly.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Casting 
blame or pointing out others' faults 
m ay on ly m ake you look w orse. 
Furtherm ore, it doesn't get a n y­
thing done. Correcting w hat went 
w rong should take p rio rity over 
saving face. Others w ill respect you 
even m ore w h en yo u act w ith 
hum ility.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Spend 
time with loved ones. The w ay you 
hold the truth in your hands might 
be dangerous to others, so be care­
ful when discussing delicate m at­
ters. Don't let a lu cky streak turn 
you into a monster. Nobody likes a 
sore winner.

S a g itta riu s (N o v . 22-Dec. 21): 
Anyone who cares about you can

tell that you're being too hard on 
yourself. A self-effacing attitu d e 
o n ly m akes yo u feel w o rse and 
besides, it's a sure w ay to bring the 
whole party down. Instead of mak­
ing excuses, start making advances.
C ap ricorn (D ec. 22-Jan. 19): Be 
open about your feelings, thoughts 
and opinions. They're there for a 
reason. Once you begin a project or 
activity, yo u 'll see that your ideas 
can take on a life of their own.

A q u a riu s (Ja n . 20-Feb. 18): 
R esp o n sib ility m ay rear its u g ly 
head, and there are some tasks that 
you sim ply cannot avoid. It's easier 
and m ore e fficien t to get things 
done w hen you d o n 't b road cast 
w h a t y o u 'd ra th e r be d o in g or 
w h ere yo u 'd rath er be. B y com ­
plaining, you're only delaying the 
outcome.

Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Y o u r 
contacts can help you, but on ly if 
you solicit their assistance. Others 
may m ysteriously volunteer to do 
your w ork, so thank them for it. 
Appreciate the fact that you have 
others on your side.

Another candidate for 
World's Dumbest CriminaL

■ T O M A H , W is. — A man suspected of rob­
bing a fast-f(xx1 restaurant may want to ask his 
getaway dnver for something back: the tip.

The wheelman was a cabbie.
The unwitting taxi driver provided police 
with a description of the alleged bandit and the 
address where he took him. The suspect was 
later arrested.

"Everything fell together," police Lt. Wes Rev­
els said. "H e walked into town, committed the 
robbery and took a cab home. W e certainly 
jumped on it and everything worked out well."

Police said the robber entered a Hardee's 
restaurant about 5 a.m. M onday — an hour 
before opening time — threatened two female 
employees with a knife and ordered them to 
open a safe containing $1,200. He then hailed the 
cab and fled, police said.

Authonties said they found about $1,200 at 
the residence of the 23-year-old Tomah man, 
who was being held in pi] pending his arraign­
ment.

Team breaks world card­
board canoe record

■ SH EB O Y G A N , Wis. — Although it eventual­
ly broke in half, the cardboard canoe "Jungle 
Fever" stayed afloat long enough to qualify for 
two world records.

The 154-foot craft traveled over 200 yards 
ak>ng the Sheboygan River before snapping m 
half during the Great Cardboard Boat Regatta on 
Monday.

Terry Van Akkeren, captain of the canoe's 10-

member team, said he is submitting paperwork 
to have the craft recognized in the Guinness 
Book of Records as the longest canoe and the 
longest cardboard boat. To q ualify for the 
records, the canoe had to travel 100 yards.

"That was probably the longest 200 to 300 
yards I ever rowed in my life," Van Akkeren 
said.

Guinness lists the world's longest canoe as the 
135-foot long "Snake Boat" from Kerala, India. 
The longest cardboard boat was a 102-foot craft 
built by a group from Glen Ellyn, 111.

Brother-sister duo takes 
logrolling championship

■ GLADSTONE, Mich. — For the list of family 
dynasties in sports — the Ripkens of baseball, 
the Andrettis of auto racing — you might add 
the Salzmans of logrolling.

J.R. Salzman won the men's World Logrolling 

Championship on Sunday, while his sister, Tina 
Salzman, won the women's title.

It's the second straight year the duo from Hay­

ward, Wis., have won tire contest, in which two 

competitors stand on a large floating log and try 
to dislodge the other by rolling the log different 
directions with their feet.

Salzman, a junior at the University of Min­
nesota, wen by making Darren Hudson, a Cana­
dian, fall three of four times. Ms. Salzman beat 

her form er teacher, H eidi Burger, in three 
straight falls.

"W e're just kind of gixxi at what we do," J R. 

Salzman said. "It Ls not a coincidence. We both 

train very hard. The last two years I spent more 
time cn a log than any man out there."

Ms. Salzman, 25, has now won six world titles, 

one short of the record.

Electric company bilks 
City of Buffalo

■ B U FFA LO , N.Y. — Here's a switch — the 
power company is accused of being overdue 
paying a customer.

The city of Buffalo contends Niagara Mohawk 
Power Corp. owes it more than $1 million after 
billing the dty for hundreds of street lights that 
did not exist, a utility consultant for the dty said.

The dty paid the utility for the phantom street 
lights in the 1970s and 1980s because of a billing 
error, TJw Buffalo News reported Monday. The 
dty calculated at the time that the dty was over­
paying by nearly $200,000 a year, dty lighting 
supervLsor James Zem said.

A small portion of the overcharges were 
repaid, but the dty never received a full account­
ing when they accepted a utility company settle­
ment offer in 1988, records show.

After poring over records, d ty officials said 
they will challenge the company for compensa­
tion. The power company disputes the city's 
over-billing contentions, saying the dispute was 
put to rest in 1988.

Niagara spokesman Stephen Brady also said 
the a t/ s complaints come too late because state

regulators allow the company to use a six-year 
statute of limitations in cases of over-billings.

Hay sculptures break the 
monotonous 'Bama road

■ FORKLAND, Ala. — Rounding a curve 
on U.S. 43, a pirate's sneer is one of the first 
things m otorists see. Com plete w ith eye- 
patch and earring, the snaggletooth raider 
sits by a leisurely, reclining turtle, w ith its 
reading glasses on.

Nearby, a bullfighter waves a red cape at 

a charging bull.

No, they're not real. They're made entire­
ly of hay, w ood and other m aterials by 
land ow ner Jim B ird . H is creations have 
delighted passersby from across the nation 
— and beyond — for years.

"It breaks the trip for people," said Bird, 
72, w ho has been m aking the sculptures 
using his spare hay for several years at his 
Greene County home in rural west Alaba­
ma.

Bird said he used to leave a blank pad 
outside so motorists could leave comments 
about the sculptures.

"M y brother and I are Marines on leave 
from Arizona and C alifo rn ia," reads one 
note. "W e are d rivin g cross-country back 
out to Phoenix, and this is the only thing so 
far that w e've bothered to stop and take a 
picture of. Y 'a ll are a riot."

V is ito rs from E n g la n d , C an ad a and 
Ecuador have also come by, and a Japanese 
televisio n crew once stopped and in ter­
view ed Bird after passing the sculptures. 
They sent Bird and his wife, Lib, a tape of 
the segment, but it was entirely in Japanese.
" I never got anybody to tell us what they 
said," Bird said. "They probably said, 'This 
crazy fool.'"

Sometimes, motorists even stop and help 
Bird work on the sculptures. "H e's always 
looking for volunteers to help," said Mrs. 
Bird, 74.

Bird sajd most of the honkers and wavers 
are truck d rivers. "1 guess it breaks the 
monotony of going up and down the road," 
he said.

During last week's NBA draft in 
Washington, high schooler Jonathan 
Bender of Picayune, Miss., was draft­
ed fifth overall, ahead of players like 
Wally Szczerbiak, Richard Hamilton 
and Trajan Langdon who established 
themselves at the college level before 
becoming lottery picks.

Another high schooler, Leon Smith 
of Martin Luther King H S in Chicago, 
was selected 29th overall — the final 
pick of the first round.

Under the rookie wage scale that 
provides guaranteed three-year con­
tracts to all first-round picks, Smith 
will be paid approximately $1.8 mil­
lion. But several players who had 
solid, four-year college careers, such as 
Lee Nailon, Evan Eschm eyer and 
Todd MacCulloch, dropped to the sec­
ond round and will receive no guaran­
teed money.

"We had the same argument with 
the owners during the lockout over 
whether they should exert fiscal self-

control," Hunter said. "If they don't 
want them in the league, they should­
n't draft them."

At least one player wondered aloud 
why such a fuss was being made over 
the age issue in basketball — a sport 
whose athlete population is dominat­
ed by young, black men — when it 
hasn't been similarly discussed in 
sports like baseball, which has a larger 
percentage of white and Hispanic 
players.

Hunter said it seemed curious to 
him that the issue moved into the 
spotlight this year as Duke, which had 
never lost an underclassman to the 
NBA draft, had three non-seniors 
leave the team to enter the draft.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence or 
not, but that really seemed to set off an 
alarm and strike a nerve," he said.

Hunter also said that high schoolers 
who jump straight to the pros should 
not be blamed for the dropoff in the 
quality of NBA basketball because

most of them spend their first season 
getting very little playing time.

The six-man com m ittee chosen 
Tuesday will discuss how to weigh the 
interests of those like Bryant and Gar­
nett, who were mature enough at 18 to 
adapt to the NBA lifestyle, against 
those of players like Rashard Lewis of 
the Seattle SuperSonics, who was 
reduced to tears in the 1998 draft 
when he was passed over in the first 
round.

"That was just a sad image," Butler 
said, "and we'd like to prevent those 
situations from happening.

"We don't want to deprive a young 
man the opportunity to go out into the 
workforce if he feels ready," Butler 
said. "But they should know that they 
might be stuck on the bench all year 
without the opportunity to play. Sure, 
they make a great living, but dreams 
are being shattered and hopes crushed 
for a quick buck."

But this week, in the early, flat 

stages, it is the sprinters who excel.

T u esd ay's 

route 
stretched 
picturesque 
northern countryside from the city 
of Nantes, w hich straddles the Loire 
River, to She town of Laval.

Two riders, Frederic G uesdon and 
M assim o Giunti, broke away early 
and m aintained their lead for 76 
miles. But thev were caught by the 
pack late in the race, m aking way 
for the sprinters.

The pack maintained a swift pace, 
averaging 27 mph for the day. The 
final sprint came at a blistering 42 
mph.

Steels had a winning time of 4

hours, 29 minutes, 27 seconds. He 
was followed by Erik Zabel of G er­
many, Stuart O 'G rady of Australia, 
Nicola Minali of Italy and Hincapié. 
Arm strong finished 24th.

Young fans along the route on 
Tuesday were well aware o f the 
drug scandal that has enveloped the 
sport. But m ost preferred to enjoy 
the race, and som e were skeptical 
about efforts to stamp out drug use.
Spanish exchange student Jose 
Luiz Catala was enjoying a folk con­
cert in N antes before the riders came 
through.
"I 

the players are 
doped," said Catala, 17. "You know 
why? Because you can't win on a 
plate of spaghetti. You need m ore."
His friend, Joan Albert Lairon,

think all 

sporting red-and-yellow paint on 
his cheeks, agreed.

"D oping is fair if they all do it," he 
said. "T h e problem com es when

C ycling's governing body said 16 
cyclists — none elite riders — have 
been certified to race with a hem at­

The hem atocrit level m easures the 
proportion of red blood cells in a 
blood sam ple — one sign of drug 
use, since the substances increase 
red blood cells.

The International Cycling Union 
noted that 3 percent of the global

Copulation has a hem atocrit level 

igher than 50 percent.

Embezzlement 

charge costly for 

Wolverine fullback

■ ANN ARBOR, Mich. —
Demetrius Smith, accused of being 
part of a six-person embezzlement 
ring, had his football scholarship 
taken away by the University of 
Michigan, his parents said Tuesday.
Smith, 19, received a letter from 
the school notifying him that his 
athletic scholarship has been termi­
nated, the player's father, Robert 
Smith, said from the family's home 
in the Chicago suburb of Calumet 
Park, Dl.

The 6-foot 2-inch, 245-pound 
sophomore fullback already faced 
legal problems before the embez­
zlement case.

Smith pleaded guilty on June 8 
to forging a check. He is scheduled 
for sentencing July 27. The team 
suspended him indefinitely April 9 
pending resolution of the case.

Stars make deals 

with Sloan, Lind

■ DALLAS — The Dallas Stars 
have signed left wing Juha Lind to 
a two-year contract and right wing 
Blake Sloan to a one-year deal. No 
terms were announced Tuesday.

Lind, 25, was the Stars' rookie of 
the year in 1997-98 after totaling 
two goals and three assists in 39 
games. Last year, he played with 
Jokerit Helsinki in the Finnish Elite 
Hockey League, scoring 20 goals 
with 19 assists.

Sloan, 24, began last season with 
the Houston Aeros. He scored 
eight goals with 10 assists in 62 
games with Houston, mostly as a 
defenseman. The Stars signed him 
on March 10, and he played in 14 
regular-season games and 19 of 23 
playoff games, including all six in 
the Stanley Cup Finals.

Popovich loves his 

home in San Antone

■ SAN ANTONIO — Gregg 
Popovich signed a four-year con­
tract extension Tuesday, 11 days 
after coaching the San Antonio 
Spurs to their first NBA title.

Popovich had one year remain­
ing on a three-year deal. The new 
contract keeps him as both coach 
and general manager.

"He lias really proven his ability 
to put together successful offensive 
and defensive schemes, as well as 
build a team that thinks and plays 
as a team," Spurs chairman Peter 
Holt said.

Popovich was to be paid $1.2 
million next season under his old 
contract, the San Antonio Express- 
News reported. Financial terms of 
the new contract were not dis­
closed.

"I am both thrilled and fortu­
nate to have the opportunity to 
coach this great group of people, 
and look forward with great antic­
ipation to next season," Popovich 
said.

NBA players debate minimum age limit

Associated Press 
Associated Press

NASSAU, Bahamas — Is 18 or 19 

too young to play in the NBA?

That hot-button issue was the most 
heavily debated topic Tuesday as the 
players' union opened its annual 
meeting.

Amid talk of salaries, salary caps, 
the lockout and other mundane busi­
ness, it was the subject of the league's 
youngest players — and how young is 
too young — that really got the partic­

ipants talking.

"Everyone's ears perked up, and 
you saw genuine concerns for these 
young men, many of whose careers 
are being ruined," said Mitchell Butler, 
player representative for the Cleve­
land Cavaliers. "Their friends, high 
school coaches and AAU coaches are 
telling them they'll be superstars, but 
in most cases the chances of that actu­
ally happening are slim and none."

Commissioner David Stem has pro­
posed establishing a minimum age,

_ 

. _____ _
. 
perhaps 20, for playing in the NBA

.1. ™ 

,• 

. 

Such a restriction would have to be 

agreed upon by the players.

"At this point, we don't want any­
one shut out by an age limitation," 
said union director Billy Hunter, who 
appointed a six-man committee — 
Alonzo Mourning of Miami, Brent 
Barry of Chicago, Juwan Howard of 
Washington, 
Jerome Williams of 
Detroit, Dikembe Mutombo of Atlanta 
and Butler — to discuss the issue and 
make recommendations during this

three-day meeting.

The league and the union are 
expected to open negotiations on the 
issue sometime in the near future.

Both sides are awaiting a report 
from the NCAA on whether it would 
be feasible to provide the best college 
players with low-interest loans of up 
to $20,000 to entice them to stay in 
school.

"Our concern is that we don't want 
the NBA or the NCAA dictating what 
the resolution is. It's got to be some­

thing the players agree wholehearted­
ly on," Hunter said.

Players have been leaving college 
early or making themselves eligible for 
the draft out of high school at an 
increasing rate during the past several 
years, their hopes boosted by the com­
mercial and financial success Kobe 
Bryant and Kevin Garnett had in 
going directly from the preps to the 
pros.

Tour de France bikers 
complete third stage

Associated Press

LAVAL, France — A day after a 
dramatic crash during an ocean 
crossing, the third stage of the Tour 
de France unfolded on dry ground 
and in classic style Tuesday.

Rolling into the countryside of 
Brittany, with black-and-white Bre­
ton flags fluttering along the route, 
the stage began with an early break­
away and ended in a furious, shoul- 
der-to-shoulder sprint.

For the second straight day, Bel­
gium's Tom Steels won the stage, 
timing his attack perfectly and surg­

ing through his rivals across the fin­
ish line, arms outstretched.

Jaan Kirsipuu of Estonia kept the 
leader's yellow jersey. Steels moved 
into second place overall, followed 
by Abraham Olano of Spain and 
Lance Armstrong of the United 
States.

Arm strong's 

teammate on a 
strong U.S. Postal Service team, 
George Hincapié, is sixth.

Armstrong, making a remarkable 
comeback from testicular cancer, is

Haynes and 
teamed on a four-hitter, John

Oakland Athletics sent the Texas 
Rangers to their fourth straight 
loss, 4-0 Tuesday night.

Rangers outfielder Juan Gon­

to play in the All-Star game 
unless fans elected him to start, 
was booed all night by the crowd 
of 8,221. He went l-for-4 and was

thrown out trying to stretch a 
double.

Haynes (6-6) allowed three 
hits in seven innings to beat 
Texas for the fifth consecutive 
time. He walked two and struck 
out six.

Haynes now has six career

Relievers Tim Worrell, Buddy
