Blanton Museum of Art, UT officials said Tuesday. The selected firm s are A ntoine Predock Architect of Albuquerque, N.M .; H e rzo g an d de M euron Architekten of Basel, Switzerland; Rafael V iñoly A rchitects of N ew York; S nohetta of Oslo, N orw ay; Steven Holl Architects of New York; Thom pson and Rose Architects of C am b rid g e, M ass.; and Tod Williams Billie Tsien and Associates of New York. "I think in looking at the finalists we were looking for someone with the potential to design a landm ark b u ild in g ," said Jessie O tto H ite, director of the museum. "We want­ ed an architect we felt would find the right building for that site, not someone who already knew what their building would look like." The building is expected to cost $42 m illio n and w ill be fu n d e d entirely through private donations. The m useum has raised $35.5 mil­ lion in gifts and pledges so far. R epresentatives from the seven firms, w hich w ere chosen from a pool of 60, will present public lec­ tures about their past projects, per­ spectives on m useum design, and views on the relationship between a rt an d a rc h ite c tu re s ta rtin g Thursday. Following the lectures and site visits, UT President Larry Faulkner will select the firm that will design the building. The museum is sched­ uled to be completed by 2002. The new m useum is planned to c o n so lid a te tw o a rt collections already on campus into one larger building, to elim inate confusion, Hite said. Plans also include eight classroom areas, a print study cen­ ter to exam ine w orks of art on paper, an auditorium , and a small restaurant and bookstore. There are also plans for a 75-seat lecture hall, tw o 20-seat sem in ar room s, and resource room s for supplem ental material. A bout 100,000 visitors come to the Blanton Museum at San Jacinto and 23rd streets each year, but the new site will probably boost the number to 500,000, Hite said. Given the expected volume of vis­ the u n iq u e d esig n ito rs and demands, UT officials must choose the right location for the landmark building, Hite said. The University is looking at two possible museum sites: one at Dean Keeton and Red River streets, east of the Joe C. Thompson Conference C en ter, and a n o th e r at M artin L u th er King B oulevard and S peedw ay A venue, so u th of the Beauford H. Jester Center. Hite said UT officials currently favor the site near Jester. The area would offer the use of the Beauford H. Jester Center Parking Garage for museum visitors.

"I don't see why there is any con­ flict at all," said Mike McHone, vice p re s id e n t of U n iv ersity Area Partners, a group representing busi­ nesses n ea r cam pus. The g ro u p w orks w ith the U n iv ersity and Capital Metro^op, plans to narrow me Drag and -make it more pedes­ trian-friendly. The $2.3 m illion revitalization p lan has com e u n d e r fire from C apital M etro In terim M anager Gerald Robichaux, who in an April 4 4 letter to C apital M etro board m em bers recom m ended that the project to renovate the Drag be can­ celed as soon as possible to make way for light rail. "It would not be cost effective to use taxes to fund a project which would more than likely be removed in a short period of time to accom­ m odate rail," Robichaux w rote to board m em bers. "These precious dollars w ould be better spent on im proving our funding capability for maintenance and operation of a rail system." Robichaux added that Guadalupe Street is a location city planners believe is likely to draw many rid­ ers for a light rail system. "As we pursue rail in Austin, it becom es very im portant that we place track in areas of high people density," the letter states. 1 recom­ mend cancellation of the Drag pro­ ject as we seriously embark on rail for Austin." But the city's plan to build a light rail line along G uadalupe Street d o esn 't m ean the $2.3 m illion in Light rail is very important to us, but the Drag project is also very important. If you’re going to tear up the street, you might as well just tear it up once." — Austin Gleeson, chairman ot the UT Master Planning Committee D rag re n o v a tio n s — in clu d in g rebuilding sidewalks, raising cross­ walks and im proving street lights from Martin Luther King Boulevard to 29th Street — must be canceled, McHone said. A light rail system and the reno­ vations could be built sim ultane­ ously to avoid the cost of having to sh u t dow n traffic on the stree t twice, he said. Though construction could not start immediately because light rail h as not yet been a p p ro v e d , McHone said the renovations to the street could wait a few years. "If w e 're talking tw o or three years to begin construction, then w e're really not that far off, he said. "Actually, w e'd have it done faster because w e'd have all three phases done at once " Capital Metro has already spent almost $400,000 studying the effects of the proposed renovations. The project was originally sched­ uled to be b uilt in three phases, each encompassing about three or four blocks, M cHone said. W ith light rail, all construction could be done at once instead. McHone said he will address the Capital Metro Board at their meet­ ing next week to keep the Drag pro- RAIL/Page 2 Dr. Mark Chassay, a physician at University Health Services, examines Maria Calderon, who has been feeling pain in her knee. ► For a closer look at student health issues, please turn to P»9e 28 for The Texan's special section, "Diagnosing Student Health." Garage plan irks nearby church goers Jamie Stockwell Daily Texan Staff M em bers of the All S a in ts' E piscopal C h u rch said T u esd ay they oppose the University's plan to b u ild a 700- to 800-car p a rk in g garage next door to their church on 27th Street. P a rish io n e rs said they sh o u ld have been consulted about the plans and are co n c ern e d b ecau se the garage will increase traffic. “O u r m ain th ru s t is th a t the church feels it's being had," said Jack Jackson, the leader of the church's vestry. The vestry is sim ilar to an executive co m m ittee and m akes business decisions for the church. “This is a way the University is d e g ra d in g o u r ch u rch ," Jackson said. “No one from the University ta lk e d to an y o n e at th e ch u rch about the parking garage until the plans had already been made." to is critica l The proposed $8.5 million garage is part of the UT C am pus M aster P lan an d th e U n iv e rs ity 's ex p a n sio n into the undeveloped land it owns north of D ean K eeton S treet b etw e en Speedway and University avenues. O th er p ro p o sed b u ild in g s in the area include the new Psychology and Child Development and Family Relations Building, another parking garage and an office building. "The garage is all the insensitivity of the University," Jackson said. “I can understand that the University has big fish to fry, but that doesn t make it right." In November, several members of the Daughters of the King, a church- related group, wrote the vestry voic­ ing their concerns about the impact the parking garage will have on the church and the neighborhood. "The added traffic can constitute a hazard for children and parents dropping off and picking up their children for the Day School," the letter states. “A multistoried build­ ing will block light for our entire complex and will change the charac­ ter of the neighborhood." The letter also echoes others' con­ cerns about the historical value of the Maxey house located at 107 W. 27th St. The house was once the home of Judge Texas S u p rem e C o u rt T hom as S.

W1rat a IDrag Like a zom bie out of an old B-m ovie, the plan to bring light rail to Austin has risen from the grave, and has w reaked bloodv vengeance on G uadalupe Street. O k /s o m aybe th at's an exaggeration. Actually, all that hap pened was plans to renovate the D rag probably will be delayed w hile details of the light-rail plan are hashed out by r í d ítal M etro biew igs. A likely scenario has one of the light- S l o r ^ o s runnm g down the stde of G uadalupe, and it only m akes sense that Drag m erchants w o u ld n 't w a n t to m vest md- lions of d ollars in renovations it they re just going to have do it again once the trains com e ru m bling through. But w asn't the whole .dea of the D rag project to make the U niversity area more p edestrian-frien d ly? In fact, rsn t a m a,or tenet of the entire C am pus M aster Plan that people on oo (and on bicycle) should have a high er priority? It's possible that the light-rail track could cost b ,cy c^ t^ ° ^ of the few restricted bike lanes in the cam pus area. And it it s risky to cross the street now, with just buses and i n s a n e Austin d rivers to w orry about, what happens w hen we add a train to the mix? Pity C apital Metro the first law suit after som e dis­ tracted student w anders onto the light rail track. The Editorial Board is not opposed to light rail; in fa c t we are big fans of anything that takes even one of Austin s more psychotic m otorists off the streets. But Gerald Robichaux Cap M etro's interim general m anager, seem s as sure as can be that light rail w ill run down G uadalupe, no questions asked, an that the U niversity and the D rag-area merchants should work around C apital M etro's priorities, not the other way aro u n d . That philosophy, apparent from Robichaux s m em o su gg ts ing cancellation, not delay, of the Drag project, is arrogan nonsense "The Drag project is certainly in a rail alignm ent corridor which must £ used and is an excellent opportunity for the m ost positive exposure for rail ridership, Robichaux. "M u st" be used, Mr. Robichaux? "A n excellen °^ "M u s t"! ks not a word that properly describes the relation­ ship betw een the U niversity and C apital Metro, nor are we stud ents just "a n excellent o p p o rtu n ity ." It C apital M etro d ecides that it would better serve students to locate a next to cam pus, so be it, but let’s keep the relationsh.p in prop­ er perspective. Mass transit w orks only if jt is w anted, w ould behoove Capital M etro to consult the U niversity com ­ m unity (one of its biggest custom ers) before it m akes deci nuns that will affect the Drag, which many on this cam pus consider a landm ark. , . .. Strong-arm tactics like these are cou nterprod uctive to the positive goal of mass transit: getting as many people from Point A to Point B w ithout using those carbon monoxide belching autom obiles. Besides, as every fou r-year-oid boy k n o w s , trains are just kinda cool. But Capital M etro needs to put on a public relations blitz with the denizens of the 40 Acres before it rams rail down our throat - i EDITORIALS Forfree, co*fi4«atiillwlp m l l b e j r s a d i y C A ^ ^ Tdijrfi(w| W B M K B B H B H M Counséw tinnranan U T Pr e s id e n t Pad l e e r 's l a t e st Tó- Do UFST * © P x o c o p S U I T S A T D R Y - C L E A N E R , . © UN PACIA ATOv/IN G B o x e s AT gONVE. © G O To T^e G R O c e f V / SAoVs e . © Pure Defers \)ow s . V ..' I 1 Sierra Club part of nationalist trend M any proponents of anti-im m igration mea­ sures, such as im migration caps, claim that illega im m igration is rampant and uncontrolled. The m ajority of immigrants, though, enter legally under the rigid Im m igration and Naturalization Act that allows for a set num ber of immigrants each vear — mostly for family reunification and political asylum - and a 1997 study by the Unit- ed States and M exico estim ates a yearly average of only 105,000 illegal im migrants from Mexico. O thers argue that even this amount is exces­ sive because those im migrants, legal or not, are taking jobs from American workers and exhaust­ ing taxpayer-funded Social Services. But num er­ ous studies from groups such as the Rand C or­ poration, the Council of Econom ic Advisors and the National Research Council have found immi­ gration to have no negative effects on em ploy­ ment. One Ohio University study even found that any correlation would indicate a positive im pact on em ploym ent. Likewise, the Urban Institute has stated that im migrants generally pay more taxes than they receive in federal bene­ fits since undocum ented w orkers pay Social Security and income tax but cannot qualify for most federal benefits. Now, the Sierra Club, a traditionally liberal environm ental organization, may endorse im m i­ gration caps from an ecological perspective. Always supporting population control to limit the use of natural resources, the organization the use or n a tu re ic s u u i^ o , —o Royce C arroll ________ TEXAN COLUMNIST voted April 18 on a proposal to take an official anti-im m igration position. Although the results of the vote have not yet been released, the orga­ nization's major point is that the .U.S. population is projected to "increase by 125 m illion people in the next 50 years if current birth and im migration rates are n o t ' ch anged ." T w o-third s of this growth, says the National Academy of Sciences, will be the result of im migration. H ow ever, even many of the Sierra Club s members agree that this is an oversim plification of the issue. It may seem like common sense that more people would create an increased use of natural resources. But are immigrants, especial y immigrants from Mexico, actually responsible tor a significant use of resources? Are they forming timber, mining and oil corporations that careless­ ly destroy the environment? Are they building golf courses and commercial developm ents that threaten the habitat of endangered species? They probably are not. , , , W hat about the limited capacity ot the land to sustain a rapidly grow ing population? This might be a valid concern if the amount ot people involved actually affected the degree of resource depletion. The United States, regardless of popu­ » . • 1 . . i . 1 — L i , , r M i t c i r l p f P S O U r C e ! lation size, relentlessly gathers outside resources at a very disproportionate rate. The U.S. popula­ tion represents only 5 percent of the world s inhabitants, yet the country consum es 30 percent of the w orld's resources. The practices of the U.S_ population have led to an excessive use of resources, not their numbers. Poorer citizens, who im m igrants tend to be, are the least sign ifican t consum ers at any rate. According to the Political Ecology Group, The poorest 20 percent of people on earth earn 2 per­ cent of world income and consum e a dispropor­ tionate trickle of resources ... the richest 20 per­ cent collect 65 percent of world income, consum ­ ing most of the resources and generating the most waste and pollution." They also report that U.S. land developm ent grows at six times the rate of the U.S. population. Clearly, these issues are unrelated to the rate of im migration. Yet, they are being used to further encourage a growing nationalist trend in the United States. It has alw ays been easy to scape­ goat im m igrants and it has recently become pop­ ular as well. If it were equally popular to stop the actual destruction of the environm ent, reduce the unplanned birth rate and remedy the circum ­ stances that drive people to leave their homes the possibilities for resource conservation would be limitless.

Linda w as an avid vegetarian and consum ed w hat she believed to be a healthy, high-soy diet. She had a happy life, loving husband and solid self-esteem . She died anyw ay. Breast can cer is spooky.

E very m ean in g fu l treatm ent o f breast cancer h as been delivered by m odern sci­ en tific m edicine, but these treatm ents are scary.

Mohammed’s grassy knoll I know The Texan will be flooded with irate letters responding to Sonia Mohammed s lat­ est liberal conspiracy theory, but I would like in particular to point out the irony of Ms. Mohammed's position. Which irony? you might ask. Do I mean her disdain for the long-suffering Equal Rights M ovement, without which she might never have been admitted to a university or even had her opinions presented in a public forum? (Actu­ ally, that strikes me as more hypocrisy than irony.) Do I mean the way she claims that the Women's Resource Center is "clearly leftist' and "obviously political," yet somehow has a "hidden ‘agenda?" No, that is probably just Ms. Mohammed getting too carried away with sensationalism to have any regard for truth or facts. The joke here (if you can call it that) is that Ms. M oham m ed's evident ignorance of women's issues could have been remedied by simply doing research at the WrRC itself. I was stunned by her narrow-minded lack of sympathy for members of her own gender who are victims of rape It is bad enough that she obstinately refuses to understand the plight of those a ho face the difficult decision of abortion, but she must further trivialize women by reducing date rape to mere petu­ lance. I wonder if she even realizes the stereotype she is placing on women vin­ dictive troublemakers too stupid to know the difference between rape and "casual sexual escapades." While Ms. Mohammed herself is a case in point that such women do exist, cer­ tainly it is not true for most women. If Sonia Mohammed had only gone to the WRC, she would not have so badly misinter­ preted the organization's purpose. After talk­ ing to one of its founders and my fiancée, who is a volunteer, it is clear to me that the WRC is exactly what it says — a passive resource available to all those who seek it. Calling the WRC an "abortion referral ser­ vice" is as shallow and misinformed as call­ ing the Catholic Church a bingo parlor. The WRC provides a variety of information ser­ vices, including references for Lifeline, the Crisis Pregnancy Center, and other pro-life organizations. In fact, they have more pro­ life references than pro-choice ones. The organization does not support any one polit­ ical agenda more than another, but tries to assemble information in an objective manner which is more than I can say for Ms. Mohammed Brian Borowicz Mathematics graduate student Non-alcoholic whine If Mark McKenzie wants to make an argu­ ment against lowering the blood alcohol limit, why is his April 20 column limited to complaints about the prohibition of alcohol purchases by people under 217 As I read the article, I kept waiting for some supjxirt for his statement that Congress should not man­ date that states lower their BAC require­ ments. Instead, the column was nothing more than a whine-fest about the injustice of not being able to buy beer at 18. I agree with McKenzie that tougher penal­ ties are needed to combat drunken drivers. However, I would like to aim those penalties at all drivers who pose a risk on the nation's streets, not just those who are inebriated beyond rationality. McKenzie fails to point out that the United States falls drastically behind the times considering the blood alco­ hol limits in other industrialized nations Most Eurojaean countries have a limit of 08 or lower, and several U.S. states also have lowered their limits. Only those states so closely attached to the bank accounts of the alcohol industry still refuse to lower their limits. Lastly, it should be noted that a man w eighing 150 pounds w ould have to consume four alcoholic beverages within a single hour to have a BAC of .08. Maybe Mr. McKenzie would feel comfortable driving next to someone who has downed four cold ones in such rapid succession. I certainly would not. , „ Leah Rauch UT alum I refuse to let you or any others bully our law yer into believing som ething that he thinks is w rong, and I refuse to let you blank et the school into one sing e body that "is preparing to dism ant e H opw ood ." Even if I am the lone single voice of opposition on this w hole cam ­ pus of 50,000, Joshua, I w ill die before I ever let you speak for me. What ‘w e,’ Joshua? Someone should really tell Joshua Fischer that he isn't royalty. Either that, or figure out what Sybil thinks, because I am getting real­ ly confused about his use of we. On his holy mission to protect us from racist white cops and racist white law profes­ sors, I think he sometimes forgets that his opinions are not, in fact, the opinions pos­ sessed by UT students as a whole. The very length to which this campus has debated the integrity of affirmative action should clue Joshua in to the fact that not all students believe in affirmative action. He gripes about how such-and-such lawyer is "yapping about his opposition to the affirmative action program instead of dutifully representing the school in an appeal to Hopwood Well, guess what, this is the U.S. of A., and some ot us believe in a little thing called freedom of speech.

But in a rare cooperation, various interests, developers, city officials and environmentalists have supported the propositions. The council is asking citizen s to approve a 2 percent increase of the Hotel Occupancy Tax to pay for the expansion of the Austin Convention Center and to improve flood and ero­ sion control near Waller Creek. The secon d p roposal to voters w ould approve $65 million worth of bonds the city will use to buy 15,000 acres of land near Barton Springs to prevent development in the area and protect Austin's water supply. Brent Tantillo, president of SAE, said many UT students are not aware of the impact of the proposals. Marc Levin, 'vice-chairman of SAE, said families visiting UT students will be affected by an increase in the hotel tax. He added that if Austin buys the land around Barton Springs, develop­ ers will build closer to campus. Property development near the UT campus and other areas populated by stu d en ts w ill inflate h o u sin g and apartment costs incurred by students, Levin said. H e accused city coun- cilmembers of bowing to developers at the cost of students. Tantillo added that the council did not allow sufficient time for opponents to speak against the proposals and they were placed on the ballots quietly during a February meeting. But city officials said Monday that discussion about these issues has been going on since 1979 and neither stu­ d ents nor their fam ilies w ill be adversely affected. "The propositions w ill encourage growth mat benefits the city and pro­ tects the environment," said Coun- cilmember Jackie Goodman. The hotel tax will not significantly affect the fam ilies of UT students, Goodman said. Taxes on hotel rooms are comparable, if not higher in Dallas, San Antonio and Houston, she added. Austin City Manager Jesus Garza said the hotel tax w ou ld actually encourage developers to invest down­ town rather than around the University. The Waller Creek tunnel w ill allow development on downtown land that now lies in the creek's flood plain, he said. Purchasing land near Barton Springs will also ensure a better water supply for Austin residents, Garza added. Forthcoming Title...

If I can only save one family from going through the trouble that my family went through when my father died, that would be awesome," he added. With this goal in mind, Lecomte launched the preliminary stages of the trans-Atlantic swim Friday, April 17. He sought to complete a 36-hour swim from Lake Travis to Lake Austin. However, after getting lost early Saturday morning, he was no longer able to tolerate the frigid water. "I had to fight the wind for a very long time," Lecomte said. "We got lost and I w asn't able to stay warm. I I m swam over 60 miles in 21 hours happy, but unfortunately I wasn't able to finish." Trini Dang, Lecomte's girlfriend, was on the boat that followed him throughout the swim. "It was really frustrating," she said. "The weather was extremely bad. We got very cold and the lake was so big that we didn't know where to go, so Ben kept having to swim in circles. Eventually, we ran out of gas. It wasn t his fault, it was ours." Despite this, Lecomte has no inten­ tion of delaying his trans-Atlantic swim. Since he will be swimming in spurts of approximately two hours and drift­ ing on a non-powered raft during the night, Lecomte said he feels ready. "This first swim was just a way for me to test the equipment and try to gain sponsors," he said. "We'll move on and learn from the mistakes we made." Like the recent swim, Lecomte will be accompanied by four crew mem­ bers who will follow him in a small boat throughout the trip. He will also be followed by a Protective Ocean Device, which is used to electrically repel sharks and other predators. In spite of the many dangers he will be subjected to, Lecomte says he has few apprehensions about the swim. His goals of raising money for can­ cer research and preserving the mem­ ory of his father, Pierre Lecomte, seem to overshadow his fears. "My father and I were very close," U When my father had a goal in mind, he always held on to it — he always tried to reach it. I know he would like what 1 am doing because before he was ever diagnosed with cancer he gave money to cancer research. He always had that goal in mind.” — Ben Lecomte, en Austin men who elees te swim ecrees too A tlentlc Oceen he said. "He was diagnosed with can­ cer about a year-and-a-half before he passed away. He was very young and it all happened veiy fast. I want to do this in memory of him." Lecomte's efforts began in 1997 with the completion of a 24-hour swim at Barton Springs. For over eight years he has been training as a long-distance swimmer and currently practices six days a week, swimming from three to five hours a day. He said that this dedication to swimming reminds him of his father. "W hen my father had a goal in mind, he always held on to it — he always tried to reach it" Lecomte said. "I know he would like what I am doing because before he was ever diagnosed with cancer he gave money to cancer research. He always had that Soal" . Now, Lecomte is continuing his father's legacy by creating this unique way to fight the disease. Aside from the $75,000 required to fund the event, proceeds from his swim will be donated to the Association of International Cancer Research. "This is just a drop in the bucket, but I'm very happy just to be able to put that much," he said. Tower Public Relations, a recently formed UT agency designed to give students hands-on experience publi­ cizing people and events, has aided Lecomte in meeting the swim's mone­ tary needs by promoting the event and helping to find sponsors. "Ben has taken his father's ideals of perseverance and mixed them with a passion of his," said Keely Citizen, I president of the organization. couldn't think of a better way to raise money for something that took some­ one away from him that he dearly loved." Aside from his goal of supporting cancer research, Lecomte also hopes to set a new world record in the sport of long-distance swimming. He is working with UT kinesiology professor Edward Coyle to create a diet that will help him to maximize his energy level throughout the three- month period. "He needs to have about 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour," said Jennifer MacAulay of the UT Human Performance Laboratory. "He can drink liquids like Gatorade to boost his energy level during the swim." Emily Schleier, a UT public relations junior helping publicize Lecomte, said that although Lecomte failed to com­ plete the recent swim, she is confident that he will set a new long-distance swimming record this summer. "He has already proven that he can swim for 24 hours," she said. I know he's going to make it. He's so motivat­ ed and so excited. I'm confident that he'll get through it." Lecomte wül leave from Cape Cod, Mass. and hopes to arrive in Brest, France about three months later. He said that he will use memories of his father to motivate himself to reach his goal. "I'll think of when my father was going through his illness and suffer­ ing," he said. "For me, I can finish [the swim] whenever I want. My father did not know the outcome of his disease — he ju st had to go through it. I'll think of this, and 1 11 try to keep going."

Gloria Villarreal/Daily Texsn Staff TEXAS MEN S TRACK Texas clips Kansas in twinbill at Disch Garrido records 1,200th career win Stephen Backer Daily Texan Staff TEXAS BASEBALL To get the nightcap of a double- header in before nightfall must mean there are solid pitching perfor­ mances in both games. But great pitching performances can't be won without a little offensive support, and the big boost on Tuesday came from the most unlikely of sources. Seldom-used senior Matt Simpson cranked a three-run blast over the left-field fence in the bottom of the 10th inning to give Texas (19-25-1 overall, 7-12 Big 12) a 5-2 win and complete a twinbill sweep of Kansas (18-24, 5-15), giving head coach Augie Garrido his 1,200th career coaching victory. But Simpson's home run, his first of the season, was the offensive end that justified the pitching means. Curt Kautsch gave up just two runs in 7 1 / 3 innings and Frank Halter (6- 4) pitched.2 2 /3 innings of scoreless relief to earn the victory. In Texas' Game 1, 7-1 win, starter Scott Dunn (5-5) pitched his second straight complete game and tied a season high with 11 strikeouts. "With a lot of games over a short amount of time [six in eight days], it really helps a lot when Scott goes out and Curt goes out and they get to the later part of the games," said Halter, who entered the game with a 2-1 lead in the top of the eighth but allowed an RBI sac fly that scored Clint Wyrick from third to tie the HORNS/Page 10 Hopes Horns’ Wagner struggling to return to form Damien Pierce Daily Texan Staff Ivan Wagner was sitting on the soft grass of Royal-Memorial Stadium contemplat­ ing his latest frustrating performance. "N ot too spectacular," the 6-foot-l, 195- pound junior high jumper said, shaking his head. "N ot too spectacular." Since finishing his basketball season with the Runrún' Horns, Wagner has had difficul­ ty returning to the form that made him an NCAA champion a year ago. Saturday at the Texas Six-Way, Wagner dipped below 7 feet for the first time this season, finishing sec­ ond at 6 feet and 11 3 /4 inches. "It's been tough adjusting to some changes in my technique," Wagner said. "Coach [Dan] Pfaff has told me to take it till May and if I don't have it by then, start pan­ icking." Sometimes it's hard to see why Wagner would have to panic. He has the ability at any given moment to make even the highest bars look routine. One gets the feeling that W agner's NCAA title may have spoiled him a bit when he tells you that his 7-foot, 3-inch jump at this year's Texas Relays was disap­ pointing." But last Saturday's performance seemed to prove that W agner's concerns are legiti­ mate. Or at least it was legitimate enough to concern Wagner, who could only sit in the grass wondering what he was doing wrong. Back to the basics UT assistant track and field coach Dan Pfaff first began coaching the high jump as a high school coach. He was primarily a pole vault coach when he first started out, but when he saw that the high jumpers did not have a coach, he took the new project on. "Pole vaulting introduced me into a love of biomechanics, and from there you can transfer it into just about any athletic event there is," Pfaff said. "You just have to con­ quer one event at a time."

It is the third straight week and the fourth out of five weeks that a Texas player has earned the honor. Faucher collected six wins last week in leading the No. 5 nation­ ally-ranked Longhorns to a final 11-0 dual-match league record and their seventh straight regu- lar-season conference champi­ onship (five Southwest Confer­ ence, two Big 12). Faucher won three singles matches at the No. 2 and 3 spots, including a 6-2, 6-1 victory over No. 78 nationally-ranked Kris Sell of Kansas. She also com­ bined with Janet Walker for three doubles wins at the No. 1 and 2 positions. Fauch­ er currently is ranked No. 74 in singles by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. freshm an Texas (19-5, 11-0 Big 12) is the top seed in the 1998 Big 12 Con­ ference Women's Tennis Tourna­ ment, and will begin play on Fri­ day, April 24, in Lincoln, Neb.

Ms' Johnson out for three games ■ NEW YORK — Pitcher Randy Johnson of the Seattle Mariners was suspended for three games by American League president Gene Budig Tliesday for throwing at Kenny Lofton of the Cleveland Indians in a game Wednesday.

Panthers ink Gilbert ■ CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Washington Redskins on Tuesday cleared the way for the Carolina Panthers to acquire Sean Gilbert and make him the NFL's highest- paid defender. Gilbert, who sat out the entire 1997 season in a salary dispute with the Redskins, signed an offer sheet from Carolina on Monday for a seven-year contract worth $46.5 million. The Redskins late Tuesday morning notified the Panthers and the league office that they would not attempt to match the offer, free­ ing up Gilbert to join the Panthers. — Compiled from Associated Press reports CALENDAR Wagner has had difficulty returning to the foim that made him an NCAA champion.

According to Pfaff, these three athletes have two aspects that have brought them to the point where they are as college high jumpers. "First and foremost you have to be gitted in the world of elastics," he said. "Also you have to be able to run fast and convert that speed into vertical lift. High jumpers are incredibly gifted in doing that." Watching these athletes jump, you begin to forget how gifted they really are. At times the\ make even the highest heights look the way Michael Jordan can make a fadeaway jumper look. It's hard to appreciate what they do when reading their achievements, because after all, the heights are basically just numbers. But it isn't as simple as it looks.

"W e know these guys pretty well," Jazz guard Jeff Homacek said. "It gets to the point where you almost expect to play the Rockets every year." Utah and Houston are meeting in the playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons. Last year, the Jazz beat the Rockets in six games to win their first Western Conference title. As the teams prepare for Thurs­ day's Game l ; however the focus is less on history and more on the future. "We had a really good regular sea­ son, but everything starts over nght now," Homacek said. "W e knocked Houston out last year, so they've got even more incentive to come after us this year." Hakeem Olajuwon's youthful indiscretion was just the first chap­ ter in this rivalry's bitter history. The Rockets beat the Jazz on the way to each of their recent NBA titles, and last year Charles Barkley sparked controversy by admitting that he was trying to injure John Stockton while setting a pick. "They're probably our biggest rival within the [Midwest] Divi­ sion," Utah center Greg Foster said. "N o matter what problems they're having, they'll come at us tough. ROCKETS/Page 15 Houston’s Hampton notches 4th win, 6-0 Associated Press NEW YORK — Very quietly, Mike Hampton has become one of base­ ball's best pitchers. "Everything is just going my way right now," he said Tuesday night after becoming the first four-game winner in the major leagues. His seven-hitter led the Houston Astros over the New \o rk Mets 6-0 and gave him 16 wins in 19 deci­ sions since last June 27. Before the spurt, his career record was 25-29, but Astros manager manager Larry Dierker convinced him the path to success was hard stuff in and sinkers low and away. "It didn't come easy to him at all," Dierker said. "H e kept trying and trying. About halfway through last season, he got a hold of it. Now, he s a believer." Hampton (4-0), who struck out eight and walked one, got his fourth career shutout and first since a 6-0 win against the Mets last Aug. 2. It was his 10th complete game and Houston's first this season. "H e did a good job of throwing strikes on both sides of the plate, the Mets' Brian McRae said. "W hen we put pressure on him, he made even better pitches than he did with no one on base."

The teams traded scoreless ninths, and H alter stra n d e d tw o Kansas runners on base to set up the 10th- inning heroics.

Jason M oore w as hit by an 0-2 pitch from Kansas reliever M ark Corson, w ho regained his com posure and got M ark C ridland to line out to left, bringing Sim pson to the plate for his eventual, tw o-out game-winner. “[Corson] hung a curveball and I took advantage of it," Simpson said. “It's the greatest feeling in the world."

Simp­ son's day was the culmination of a four- game effort after he went 4-for-7 with two RBIs in two games this weekend against Texas A&M. “These guys have worked hard all year without playing," G am do said. “These are the moments you cherish in coaching." A nd after 1,200 victories spread over 30 years in coaching, Garrido has had m any m om ents to cherish. “[The milestone] really represents a lot of efforts by a lot of players for a long time," Garrido said. "So I do accept the achievement on behalf of all of the peo­ ple who have contributed so much. It s good for all of us." But G arrido w o u ld n 't have been talking about his 1,200th win if he h a d n 't notched No. 1,199 in Game 1. D unn threw 131 pitches (30 less th an his com plete-gam e p e rfo r­ m ance on Friday) in picking u p his third consecutive win. "I'll probably get a good night's sleep after that one," D unn said. "I thought if I w as able to go the dis­ tance that w ould help us out a lot w ith this stretch of games." Following the 7-1 victory, G arrido praised his starter's efforts over the past tw o games. "H e's finished w hat he's started twice in a row now. He really made some progress with his ability to stay consistent and stay focused, Garrido said. But D unn is no stranger to dom i­ n atin g K ansas. H e stru ck o u t a career-high 16 Jayhawks last season and has 27 strikeouts in two gam es against them after Tuesday. "M aybe if w e played them all the time, I'd be an All-American," D unn joked after the game. But he d id n 't do it all by himself. After scoring a run in the first, the Texas offense p ad d ed its lead in the second w hen Ivy slapped his third hom er of the season — a three-run job to left that scored Edelstein and Tommy Nicholson. Kansas scored its lone run in the fifth when Sparky Wilhelm drove in Brett Kappelmann to make the score 4-1, but Texas struck back in the sixth by scoring two runs on pitching bloopers. Nichol­ son scored from third on a wild pitch from Kansas starter Brian Schriner (3-5) and Carlos Sepulveda later came home from third when Schriner's pick-off attempt sailed wide of first base. Texas added an insurance run when Kade Johnson's sac fly scored Simpson after the senior tripled off the left-field wall to make the final 7-1. The victory keeps the glim m er of hope alive for the team that is cur­ rently in 10th place in the Big 12. “It does keep an incentive alive, and as long as that's alive, it does make it a lot more challenging and a lot more exciting," G am do said. Wagner: High jumper looking for title Continued from page 9 learned m uch about form. The first step to a successful jum p comes well before the actual process of jum ping. A high jum per usually finds a starting position and begins to rock back and forth on his toes w ith his back straight. "The whole idea is to stay relaxed," Lyles said. "People do it to visualize their jum p." Some jum pers use this still posi­ tion as an opportunity to get m oti­ vated. “W hen it gets to bigger bars, getting into the rhythm of the crow d's clapping can get you more p u m ped up for it," W agner said. "It m akes some people nervous, but others like to use its flow." From that still position, a high jum per then begins a stride into the jump. "You stride to build enough speed where your m om entum will carry you over the bar, Wagner said. D uring this process, a jum per tries to m aintain a solid angle to the bar w hich leads to the jump. "The first half of the approach is a straight line and the second half is curved linear, w hich will allow the athlete to rotate along the long axis as they leave the ground," Pfaff said. "Then they have to w orry about their center of m ass on their next-to-last step w ithout losing their posture and inw ard lean. Finally, after driv ing their arms up, the jumpers are in mid-air. "Once we get off the ground we don't do a whole lot, because if you set it up right and you trust physics, the rest of it will happen," Pfaff said. But as know ledgeable as the three athletes are about the event, they still m ake m istakes in their approach to the bar. "Personally, I need to jum p m ore straight up instead of jum ping into the bar," Lyles said. "I need to keep my feet u n d er me so that everything is u n der control before I jump. Boswell has a tendency to over­ stride. "I just w ant to get my ru n ­ ning dow n, Boswell said. It s had its ups and dow ns, b ut I'm w orking on it." Boswell and Lyles are both finesse leapers, which means they try to rely purely on their jumping style. Wag­ ner, however, has a different style. "I'm more of a power jumper," he said. "A power jum per is someone that uses a lot of speed and gathers himself to get over the bar." W agner began jum ping over bars w hen he w as in the seventh grade. At that time, jum ping w as more about fun than it w as about tech­ nique. "It w as just som ething I could do so I did it," W agner said. "Now, it's more serious." Applying the sokitkm W agner had sat in the grass long enough. Mechanically, it s no secret w hat he is doing wrong. "Ivan has a tendency to run too fast," Pfaff said. "H e gets too excited. That excitem ent seems to be com ing from overanalyzation. W agner s desire to duplicate the feeling of his 7 foot, 6 1 /2 inch jum p in Bloom­ ington, Ind., to win the NCAAs has caused him to look at every detail of his technique. "I d o n 't know w hat I did differ­ ent than any other jum p," W agner said. "I've been asked to describe that jum p before and I've never been able to p u t it into w ords. I guess I just caught a good one." Lately, it seem s that not catching a good one has gotten to Wagner. He has given him self the deadline of May 1 to get on track, w hich gives him just tw o more meets, if you count the Texas Invitational on May 2. He has dem anding expecta­ tions. A nd though that is a quality of any great athlete, it seems to be w earing thin on Wagner. O ne gets the feeling that he is try ­ ing to jum p 7-6 every m eet instead of just jum ping. O ne year ago, W ag­ ner only h a d one w inning 7 foot- plus jum p before the Big 12 C ham ­ pionships. H e d id n 't have expecta­ tions, he w as just jum ping. "You just have to think the bar is not all that high," he said. "You have to look at it and think 'I'v e done it before and I can do it again.' A nd if you h a v en 't jum ped it before, then you just have to look at it as covering new ground.' • These days the ground W agner is covering is new. But no m atter how frustrating a season he tells you h e's having, you know he will be out of the grass soon and celebrat­ ing just like he d id in Bloomington. The tools that m ade him a cham pi­ on are still there.

The latest label to cash in on this scheme is Noo Trvbe. I sing the film Caught. Up to show case m ost of its artist roster, the label brings together a broad range of hip-hop, with some R&B mixed in. Not all the a rtis ts on th e a lb u m are N oo Trybe, but m ost are, and m o st h av e re ce n tly released or have forthcom­ ing albums. Caught Up Isn't nearly as bad as many other sound­ tracks. The biggest problem is that the tracks are split about half and half between East Coast and W est Coast a rtists. T h is is a sh rew d business move, since it will 4 p s j attract a broader audience, I I | but it also means few peo pie w ill en jo y m o re than half the album since most people like the music of one coast or the other, not both. Depending where you're from , the su rp rise on the album is that the West Coast artists come off a lot better than their East Coast counterparts. Leading this are Snoop and Kurupt on the album title track, where both rappers bring some of their best lyrical efforts in som e tim e. T h e re st o f the W est C o ast tracks are what one w ould expect, but there isn't anything that is atten­ tion-grabbing. T h e E a st C o a st a rtis ts a re the ones who trv new approaches, and largely fail. On "C ross My Heart, Killah Priest, lnspectah D eck and GZA show that there will be life for W u -T an g even il the R Z A n ever p ro d u ce s ag ain , b u t m o st o f the East Coast m aten al fails to live up to expectations. L ike m ost sou nd tracks, C aught Up ends up being a m ix of songs that fail to be cohesive or contain the listen er's attention. There are certainly som e appealing singles, but unlike a regular album , they give no indication of what the rest of the album will sound like. — Adam Kush impressive, hook-driven song wntten during a soundcheck at a San Francis­ co club.

Dag's Eye View producer Matt Wal­ lace make's a gu< st appearance on It You Leave," the album's Jeff Buckley- ish third track. Lyrically, " rain sticks with the stan­ dard themes of lost love ("If you leave it's gonna get a little bit easier ) and vague stories of people listeners will never meet.

D espite the inherent problem s in taking Dostoevsky's existentialist clas­ sic of roughly 1,000 pages and w hit­ tling it dow n to a three-hour-long play, the production came off nicely in its opening weekend. T he s to ry re v o lv e s a r o u n d a m a n ip u la tiv e father and his th ree sons, a soldier, a writer and a priest- in-training. The story is set in motion w hen Fyodor, the father, disow ns his eldest son, the soldier Dmitri. Dmitri then goes on a drunken binge that, th ro u g h an am az in g co in cid e n ce, leav es h im at the d o o rs te p of his father's would-be bride, G rushenka. In the meantime, Ivan the w riter and Alyosha the priest begin a theological debate centered around the question of w hether justice exists in this world. By the end of the second act tensions have grow n too thick for the charac­ ters to bear and the play becomes a m urder mystery of sorts. The acting in The Brothers Karamazov is surprisingly solid for a university production. Scot Hartman (Alyosha), Jessie Galvan (Ivan) and Kevin Alejan­ dro (D m itri) prove to be m ore than capable of handling their roles, often b re a th in g life into o th e rw ise d u ll scenes. Also turning in strong perfor­ mances were Ev Lunning, Jr. as Fyo­ d o r, th e h a te d fath er, a n d A d am Hunter H ow ard as Rakitin, a small but im portant role offering the au th o r's perspective throughout the play. The play's acting was bolstered by its technical aspects. All the characters wore dark, drab clothing true to the tone and era of the play. The set was simple, functional and unm istakably existentialist. The UT department of Theatre s production of the Brothers Karamazo* runs Wednesday through Sunday until May 2 theatre THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV Starring: Ev Lunning, Jr., Kevin Alejandro Director: Mk F uel Bloom Playing at: Winship Drama Building Tickets: .it mo door lighting, or lack thereof, also con­ tributed to the mood of the play. Despite the skilled perform ances and dettlv-handled technical aspects of The Brother Karamazov, the play still has Totally Awesome Summer! its problems. A dense tome of existen­ tialist conflict, D osto ev sky's novel doesn't lend itself well to the stage. Playwright Anthony Clarvoe tries to cram too much angst and conflict into his script, waiting until the third act to rush things into the story. As a result, the audience follows a simple narra­ tive for two acts, and then all of a sud­ den Clarvoe runs the gamut of confus­ ing symbolism, tiptoeing the tightrope between pretentious and patronizing a n d , c o n se q u e n tly , ta k in g all the thought out of the play. It's a tough task, and Clarvoe can't quite handle it. By the start of the third act, the audi­ ence started to w ander a little. After BIG BOWL NOODLE HOUSE LIGHT JAPANESE CUISINE VEGETABLE DISH • YAKI SOBA • YAKI UDON • TERIYAKI DISH • TEMPURA two acts of such a dry and deliberate pace and two hours of sitting still in a dark room, the audience should be expected to dnft away a little. But rather than entice them back into the play somehow, Clarvoe lays daunting layer of dense philosophy on daunting layer of dense philosophy until the audience is left stanng glazen- eyed, watching the play but not letting anything sink in. Still, if the audience m em bers can focus on the play for the full three hours, there is much here to reward them. This production of The Brothers Karamazov tackles an often confusing and frustratinglv dense w ork with a capable grasp- The cast members have done their best w ith the script they were given and provided a play that is well worth seeing. The fact that they have pulled this off despite flaws inherent to the story serves as a testament to what must be an incrediblv close director, cast and crew working in synch from beginning to end. $40-$60 per hour in your spare time! ♦ Meet lots of people ♦ Learn to give professional massages ♦ Give and receive massages every day A u s t i n S c h o o l o f M a s s a g e T h e r a p y Summer Session June 1—August 7. 462-3005 w w w .asm t.com Free Catalog Call Now!

We faced a lot of adversity this season.” IRVING — With the memory of last year's first-round playoff col­ lapse and a looming opponent with a history of giant-killing, the NHL- best Dallas Stars have much to prove against the San Jose Sharks Wednes­ day. But this year's Stars insist they're a hardier team than the one that embarrassed itself with a Game 7 overtime loss to the lowly Edmon­ ton Oilers. They hope to show it by making qiiick work of the Sharks. "I think we're a little more confi­ dent, and a little more experienced than last year," said Stars center Joe Nieuwendyk, the team 's leading scorer with 39 goals and 30 assists. "W e faced a lot of adversity this sea­ son." Adversity came in the form of injuries to key players, but Dallas relied on its depth to finish with a league-best 109 points and the sec­ ond-fewest goals allowed, 167. The Stars are quick to say that this regular-season numbers y ear's haven't bred overconfidence. "We're not going to be naive," Stars right wing Pat Verbeek said. "Maybe we were a bit naive about Edmonton and the success [4-0 regular-season sweep] we had against them." The Stars haven't had the same measure of success against the Sharks, who are 6-2 against Dallas over the past two seasons. San Jose hasn't lost a game in Reunion Arena since Dec. 17, 1995. Add to that ugly picture the fact that only half of the teams who have finished first in the regular season since the 1942-43 season have won the Stanley Cup. Suddenly, it's not just the Eyes of Texas upon the Stars, it's the whole NHL. It could explain why Edmonton, Phoenix and San Jose wanted Dallas as their first-round opponent. "I'm sure they've looked at our team over the last little while and they see a little down streak, and they think they can take advantage of it," Stars goalie Ed Belfour said of the teams wishing upon the Stars. While he didn't name names, Sharks winger Joe Murphy made it clear it was Dallas he was talking about. "We're going to be a team to be reckoned w ith," he said. "W e're going to give teams everything they can handle." The Sharks might have reason for their first-round underdog hubris, since they killed off the top-seeded Detroit Red Wings with a staggering upset in 1994. San Jose repeated its spoiler role again in 1995 by downing the No. 2- seeded Calgary Flames. Since then, the Sharks have added veteran depth that includes six Stan­ ley Cup winners and a seven others who have been to the finals. By comparison, eight Stars have their names on the Cup, and four others have been to the finals. And both teams play a tight- checking game familiar to playoff veterans. "They play a real simple game, they score two or three goals a game, and really buckle down defensive­ ly," Stars center Mike Modano said. That sounds suspiciously like Dal­ las, who likes to score first and put on the defensive stranglehold. "Dallas plays more our style," Sharks center Bernie Nicholls said. "They're a defensive team and they work hard. That's what we are." The goaltending duel is by far the most intriguing of the playoffs. Belfour joined the Stars as a free agent after only 13 games with the Sharks last season, thereby giving San Jose fans a revenge motive in watching him lose. The Sharks then picked up two- time Stanley Cup winner and 1997 playoff MVP Mike Vernon. But back­ up Kelly Hrudey has beaten the Stars six times in the last two sea­ sons, leaving San Jose with two very good options to start in goal. And then there is Bryan March- ment, the hard-hitting defenseman who put Mike Modano and Greg Adams out of the lineup earlier this season. He's as hated in Dallas as Belfour is in San Jose. Rockets: Jazz have homecourt advantage Continued from page 9 On paper, the rivalry isn't what it used to be. Utah swept the season series from Houston, the first time that's hap­ pened since 1982-83. Counting last year's playoffs, the Jazz have beaten the Rockets six straight. The Jazz finished with the NBA's best record and homecourt advan­ tage throughout the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, and did it despite losing Stockton for the first 18 games with a knee injury. The Rockets endured a disap­ pointing .500 season marked by injuries to key players and internal ’strife. Houston lost nine of its last 13 games and hasn't beaten a team with a winning record since March 25. "They've had their troubles this year, and we've done well against them, but you just need to look at that roster and you'll see they're a very good team," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "They've got the players to contend for a championship." Of course, the Rockets also have what the Jazz want — a title. "They were the champions just a couple of seasons ago, and that [aura] isn't something that you lose," Homacek said. Five of the NBA's 50 greatest play- ers will be featured in the series, but the loudest of them may not be able to help his team a great deal. Barkley's nagging hernia prob­ lems haven't let up, and he said after practice on Monday that if the play­ offs had started that day, he would­ n't have played. The Rockets say it s likely that Barkley won't be 100 per­ cent until next season. Playing hurt against Utah is noth­ ing new to the Rockets. Olajuwon played in just one of the four games this year because of injuries and sus­ pension, and Barkley and Drexler each missed one game. l i n n » ) lIlliliiiillllllB M m m M iip i -------------------------------- ASSOCIATED PRESS The Stars’ Mike Modano missed the final month of the regular season with a shoulder injury, but he is ready for Wednesday s game. Astros: Hampton moves to 4-0_____________ Continued from page 9 (non-pitching) forearm hard enough to leave a red welt. He threw out the batter, but walked John O lerud and gave up a tw o-out single to Butch H uskey before M cR ae's inning-end­ ing grounder. "It went numb for a little bit," Hamp­ ton said. "M y fingers cringed up and 1 couldn't straighten them out." Hampton, who had been 0-3 at Shea Stadium, was joined by Texas' Aaron Sele in the 4-0 club later Tuesday night. Hampton has turned things around since his 3-7 start last last season. " I'm not going to lie, I'm very happy w ith it," he said. Moisés Alou hit his fourth hom e run of the season and Brad A usm us hit his first as H ouston began a six- game road trip with a win. Rick Reed (1-2) dropped to 0-3 against H ou ston in his career, allow ­ ing all four runs and 10 hits in eight innings. He has given up 10 or more hits in tw o of four starts this year after failing to perm it 10 or more in all 31 starts last year, " I try to be perfect every time out and keep the team in the gam e," he said. "T h e fact that we d on't get hits doesn't change that. It was one of those gam es we cou ld n't push runs across the plate." H am pton and Reed both escaped tw o-on, no-outs jam s in the second. "T h a t's a big confidence builder," H am pton said. "W h en som ething like that happens, you reflect on that w hen you get into other jam s. A usm us the A stros then put ahead with a leadoff hom er in the third, and the Astros got another run in the seventh after Ricky Gutierrez doubled, Ausm us w as intentionally w alked and H am pton hit a bouncer up the m iddle that glanced off the glove of shortstop Rey O rdonez for an RBI single.

T h e one w ho never left the room? The one who made you just a little bit nervous as you fell asleep at night? M aybe if he had taken the time to talk to a psychiatrist at UT's Counseling and Mental Health Center,, he might not h av e cra ck e d , d ro p p e d o u t of school, and gone back to the farm in Podunk, Texas. Most students aren't aware of the services that CM H C provides, or even that it exists at all. "1 w as taking this speech class w h ere I had to get up and talk. Every time I had to give a speech I w ould obsess about it for w eeks beforehand. It took my attention away from other classes. My grades alw ays dropped because I was so freaked out," said Jeff Chambers, a psychology senior. A nxiety sym ptom s like C ham ­ bers' are one of the most common complaints that students at the Uni­ versity have, said David Drum, the director of CMHC. " I t 's im p o rtan t for stu d en ts to understand and see us for everyday problems of living," Drum said. D rum said that often students' an xieties are so great that it p re­ vents them from going to classes or even leaving their rooms in the resi­ dence halls, but the majority of stu­ dents d o n 't take the in itiativ e to seek counseling. " It's not an easy decision for a student to come in for counseling," D rum said. "P eo p le m isin terp ret w h at we do as b ein g fo r th e ill rather than the regular person." B esid e an xiety , o th er com m on stu d en t m ental ailm en ts inclu d e sleep and eating disorders, family problem s, Attention Deficit D isor­ der, hyperactivity and depression. These problem s lead 10,000 stu­ dents annually to u tilize CM H C. The cou nseling services get their funding from student services fees, so there is no additional charge at the time of appointment. The center tries to inform incom­ ing students about the services it offers at the school's orientation as well as furnishing literature around campus. "It surprises me to hear juniors and seniors come in and say they never heard of us," said Jane Bost, Associate Director of CMHC. More than 60 percent are women, who typically are concerned with a greater number of issues than men; issues such as self-esteem and self- confidence, Drum said. M en place more of a stigm a on counseling, which keeps them from co m in g in e a r lie r. T hey u su a lly have more intense symptoms over lo n g e r p erio d of tim e th an a women when they do come in. "It's harder on men to admit that there is som ething that they can t handle on their own," said Bost. But men have become more will­ ing to participate in therapy in the last several years, Bost added. B efore th eir v isit, stu d en ts are matched with the therapist who has the e x p e rtis e to m eet his or her n eed s. T h ey m ay be re fe rred to individual counseling, group coun­ seling, p sy ch iatric assessm ent or biofeedback for stress management. "W e don't believe that every stu­ dent need s the sam e sort of se r­ vice," Drum said. T h e le n g th of p s y c h ia tric appointments varies from 30 to 60 minutes. Psychiatric tteatment may It’s important for students to understand and see us for everyday prob­ lems of living.’’ — DavMDrum, Counseling and Mental Health Center director continue as long as necessary while attending the University. CM H C's goal is to not have a w aiting list. They try to see students as quickly as possible, Drum said. But Bost admitted that they can't always handle long-term problems because of the large amount of stu­ dents who may possibly seek help. "W e have to limit the amount of services, otherwise we would only be serving a sm all am ount of the student population," Bost said. D uring a p atient's treatm ent at CMHC, a psychiatrist works with other therapists to coordinate indi­ vidual care. If a student has a prob­ lem that requ ires m ore tim e and treatm ent than the U niversity has allotted, then the center will refer the student to a qualified private doctor, Bost said. The same goes for any services that CM H C doesn t offer, such as a drug detoxification program. Many students come to the Uni­ versity already on medication for a preexisting condition, and doctors at CMHC continue their treatment. Staff psychologists can w rite pre­ scriptions for anti-depressant, anti­ anxiety, anti-p sych otic, and anti- manic drugs. "A lot of students who come to us have already been in counseling b e fo re ," D rum said . "F iv e or six p e rce n t o f th e p o p u la tio n are already on some sort of medication when they com e here. W hen you include Attention Deficit [Disorder] and h y p e ra c tiv ity d iso rd e rs it's closer to 8 or 9 percent." CMHC leads a national research stu d y on co lle g e m ental h ealth , co m p risin g abou t 50 co u n selin g ce n te rs th ro u g h o u t th e U n ited S ta te s . T h e stu d y is e x a m in in g whether or not counseling services make a difference, and for whom, w ith w hat p ro b lem s, and u nd er w hat circu m stan ces does it have positive results. "It's the little things that affect the quality of a person's life as well as their sense of fulfillment and sat­ isfaction," Drum said. To help stu­ dents ach ieve a b ette r qu ality of life, the center offers a variety of services, including telephone coun­ seling, at 471-‘CALL. "If my son or daughter came here for treatment I feel that they would be well served," Bost said. The center also offers audiotapes on various topics, accessed through TEX T A L K at 4 7 5 -9 9 5 0 . T o p ic s range from the "H azards of being male" and "Fair fighting in intimate relationships" to date rape and sui­ cide. T h e re is ev e n a w ee k ly sh ow Wednesday nights on student radio called Shrinkrop where students can call in and air their problems, a la Frasier Crane. All of which would have helped Jeff Chambers handle the stress of giving a speech in front of a class­ room full of people. "M ight have worked a hell o f a lot better than picturing everyone in th e ir u n d e rw e a r," C h am b ers said. Dr. Mark Chassay examines Maria Calderon, who hasn’t bean able to ran lately b e c a u s e of pain in her knee. Dr. Chassay sees about Z0 patients a day. Dr. Mark’s day Amy Braunagel, Brian Gaar and Clay Wrzesinski Special to The Texan Dr. Mark Chassay is an overachiever. For 18 months, he has balanced his position at U niversity H ealth S er­ vices as well as being team physician for the entire UT w om en's athletics program and taking graduate classes in sports medicine. O ne can tell by the diplom as and academ ic awards that line the walls of his office that he has a passion for his field Yet, his duties at the health center involve more than caring for athletes. He sees all types of students with a myriad of medical concerns. A peek into his typical day should dem on­ strate the demands of the doctor. 8:45 a.m. Chassay's day begins bright and early as he enters the health center's front doors. Six patients already await his arrival. As the first patients are called back, Chassay hits the ground running. Today he will be accompanied by Dr. Gaston Topol, an M.D. from Argentina, studying sports medicine under Chassay's tutelage. 9 a m ’ j Chassay's first encounter is with an infected toenail bed. LaQuenda Arberrv, a senior in child d evelopm ent, tells the doctor a story about stubbing her big toe on a gate. , i , . The patient complains that it hurts to wear shoes. Chassay identifies the problem as a fungal infection and explains her options for treatment. "The quickest wav would be to cut it off," Chassay says. "W e'll put a needle in here to numb it up. Then we'll just grab it and rip it out! "O r 1 can prescribe some topical cream you can apply," he savs with a smile. C o u rtn ey F au lkn er, a jo u rn alism ju n io r, comes into the exam room with the first sports- related injury of the day. She describes a knee injury that occurred w hile she was jogging.

As he feels the tendons in the knee, he explains her injury. During the next few hours, Chassay will see several patients with a host of injuries. 11:06 a.m. Michael McFadden, a zoology /biochemistry senior, has a fractured fibula (the smaller of the two bones in the lower leg) for which he has already received treatm ent. As we enter the room we all shake hands with the patient as Chassay begins examining the leg. The ankle is sw ollen around the Achilles tendon. Chassay tells M cFadden to keep the foot elevated and to ice it frequently. As he is about to leave, the patient mentions that his hands are covered in ringworm. Chassay instructs everyone to wash their hands immediately. 11:19 a.m. Paul Smith, a biology senior, has dislocated his shoulder for the second time. Smith was playing basketball when he became entangled with another player and ripped his shoulder from its socket. The shoulder has been kept immobile for six days in a special sling. Chas­ say exam ines the shoulder and prest ribes a "pendulum exercise," where Smith will rock his arm back and forth. Smith asks if he will be able to play his guitar soon. The doctor tells him that he must first gradually increase his range of motion in the shoulder. 11:50 a.m. Chassay moves to the urgent care section ot the UHS. His 10th patient of the day is a female complaining of fever, cough, chills and a runny nose. Chassav checks her throat, ears, and listens to her chest while she breathes. 1 he patient shows no sign of fever and has no indication of bacterial infection, so Chassay questions her about allergies. He determines that allergies are the problem and prescribes antihistamines and a saltw ater nasal spray. Chassay explains that Austin is at the peak of allerg)' season and prob­ lems will continue until the end of April To save time, rubber-stam ps were made for the three most common allergy prescriptions. 12:37 p.m. Sixteen doctors and five nurses gather in the teaching theater on the first floor of the Stu ­ dent Services Building. As they eat their lunch­ es, they watch a video called Treating I elvic Pain." Doctors don't have weak stomachs. 2 p.m. Next, Chassay sees a patient with a history ot thyroid problem s. I he patient has recently undergone glandular surgery and is concerned about a recurrence of her condition, indicated by a recent pain in her neck. Chassay orders X- rays and also consults with the patient regard­ ing some stressful situations she has expcri enced in her family. 2:45 p.m. During a consultation with a softball playet com plaining of stomach cram ps, Chassey is interrupted by a patient calling to voice concerns regarding some over-the-counter medication. "This is when it gets hairy ... when l get the phone calls," he says. Several m oments are spent reassuring the caller that her dosage of OTC medication was acceptable and then C hassey returns to the patient with the stomach cramps. He decides that a probable cause of the stomach cramps is her prescribed birth control pills. He prescribes fluids and rest and the patient is discharged. 3:15 p.m. ^ ,i The 17th patient of the day is Shannon C uth bertson, a history junior, who com plains ot sore throat, congestion, coughing and body aches. C hassay diagnoses the problem as a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. 4 P m - , , u C hassay's d a y at the UHS is finished. He steps into his office for the last ot the day s dic­ tation and paperw ork, and dream s ot even greater aspirations.

"I th o u g h t th e new b u ild in g would help some of the crowding, but it is still full every time 1 go in," Sch ofield said. "Y ou still have to wait in line, but at least you get to wait in a nicer place now," she said. The problem may be due to the increased amount of student traffic the health center has seen since its move to the new building. C arpenter said the health center is seeing a larg er volu m e of stu ­ dents simply because the attractive new building is more visible than the old one. The building also hous­ es o th er stu d en t se rv ices, so the area sees more foot traffic. Carpenter estimates that UHS has seen an increase of between 10 per­ cent and 15 percent in practitioner visits in the clinic since the move to the new fa cility . She ad d ed that some departments have seen more d ram atic in creases. For exam ple, the physical therapy department is seeing three tim es the num ber of patients it handled before the move to the new building. But she said traffic was a much greater problem for the health ten ­ ter when it was housed in the ding) old H ea lth C e n te r b u ild in g last year. Space was also a majoi prob­ lem and this created a num ber of drawbacks, she said, including few offices for nursing staff, no room for walk-through traffic and limitations to the n um ber of exam room s in w h ich p h y s ic ia n s see p atients.

Carpenter said the health center is trying to find new ways to handle the in creased patient load in the new building. Many health center departments have expanded their program s or created new ones. For example, the H ealth P ro m o tio n s o ffice, w hich d istrib u tes lite ratu re to stu d en ts and p ro vid es a place w here stu ­ d en ts can research health issues, was able to expand its resource cen­ ter because the new building pro­ v id e s g re a te r v is ib ility tor the department, said Sherry Bell, assis­ tant director for Health Promotions. S h e said m any stu d e n ts w ere unaware of her department when it was housed in the old building "W e w ere buried on the fourth floor," she said. C arpenter said the routing sys­ tem which tracks patients from the m om en t they m ake an a p p o in t­ ment, through the w aiting rooms, exam rooms and checkout points, was given a com plete overhaul to m ake it m ore efficien t and m ore accessible to students. She added that more exam ining rooms m ake it possible for physi­ cians to see more patients each day, because one patient can be getting ready to sec' the doctor in one exam room w hile the d octor fin ishes a visit with the patient in the exam room next door. Each exam room in the new building is equipped with outside lights above the door which in d ica te to d o cto rs and n u rse s w h eth er a p atien t is ready to be seen by the doctor or is still being prepared by a nurse. C arpenter said she exp ects the growth trend will continue due to the increased aw areness students have of what services are available to them. She said she will continue to experiment with ways to address increased p atient traffic, but sht added that the health center budget limits the num ber ot medical staff she can hire. Carpenter said while the budget for the new building has allowed her to h irr more nursing and support staff to help manage the increased student traffic, it is not enough. Unless the student fee portion ot the health center's budget sees an increase, she said, there are only so many options she has in trying to m eet the d em ands of up to three times the num ber of patient visits some departments have seen since the move. "W e will need in the future addi­ tional physicians, nurses and med­ ical support, but with the fee cap, we can't hire additional staff, even though we have feedback from stu­ dents saving we need to hire addi­ tional staff," she said Students get education in sexual health, alcohol issues Danyelle Salinas and Traci Fonville Special to The Texan "I'll take sexiially transmitted dis­ eases for $500, p lease." W ith that statement, UT student adviser Noe G onzales w ith other UT students began participating in a workshop sponsored by the Health Promotions O ffice, located in the U n iversity Health Services building. This partic­ u lar w o rksh o p , called "S exu al H ealth Jeo p ard y ," uses the gam e Jeopardy to educate students about sexually transm itted diseases and contraception. "Which condom is most effective in preventing [sexually transmitted diseases]?" W ith the sm all sm atterin g of hands in the air to answer the ques­ tion in the crowded room, the peer advisers anchoring the w orkshop have their work cut out for them. "According to University of Texas and national surveys, chlamydia and herpes are the most common bacteri­ al STDs on campus," said Katherine Murray, a student health peer advis­ er. "W e co n d u ct th ese o u treach w o rksh o p s to ed u cate stu d en ts about prevention of these diseases, and to d isp el com m on sexu al myths." But according to Sherry Bell, the office's assistant director, counseling students about STDs is not the only service the Health Promotions Office has to offer. "Through our office, we conduct workshops and supply information to help to d a y 's co lle g e stu d en ts make responsible, informed health decisions," Bell said. "W e offer confi- . dential, educational consultations, provide speakers for student groups and provide consultation for health- related program planning." B eside offerin g pam phlets that cover topics such as sexual health, bod y im age and n u tritio n , the o ffic e 's R eso u rce C en ter has an extensive library containing books, ed u catio n al C D s and videotapes covering alcohol and drug usage, breast and testicular self-exam ina­ tions, and several other topics. "O u r ro le is to keep stu d en ts healthy, and to enhance their poten­ tial by w orking to prevent illness and injury," Bell said. "W e want to promote healthy behaviors by offer­ ing information about ways to pur­ sue healthy lifestyles." The Health Promotions office also offers programs on eating disorders, weight management and methods of contraception, including Pill Start, a class that provides students w ith information on the birth control pill and its side effects. "Prevention of STDs and pregnan­ cy is one of our greatest needs to be met," Bell said. "W e're right with the nation statistically on that. Also, pre­ vention of negative uses of alcohol is something we feel is important. Last year, out of the 50 students we saw about alcohol abuse, 18 percent were self-referrals, and 48 percent were referred from University Health Ser­ vices. W e reach a lot of stud en ts through referrals from physicians at the health center and through Stu­ dent Affairs." In 1997, the center reached most students through outreach programs in residence halls, Greek houses, stu­ dent group m eetings and classes, Bell said. The most requests are for outreach programs related to sexual health. Last year, about 600 consultations were given, a small number consid­ ering the University has an enroll­ ment of about 50,000 students. "1 d id n 't even know the office existed until I attended a workshop for a class," said Cynthia Arbuckle, a journalism senior. "I don't think the office is well publicized. However, it was helpful to know there is a place I can go if I need their services."

She couldn't knock out the pain w ith her usual rem edy of three T y le n o ls and a n ap. A t the m ig rain es' w orst, she co u ld n 't even concentrate on sleeping. She had no other choice but to seek emergency room care. However, after m uscle relaxants and pre­ scrip tio n m ed icin es that m ade her feel drow sy, she asked her doctor for another alternative. "[T h e m edicine] pretty much m ade me u seless for every d ay functions," said the 22-year-old g o v ern m en t sen io r. " I n eed ed something to numb the pain and not make me feel drunk." Her doctor recom m end ed an unlikely, alternative solution to h er h ea lth p ro b le m : p h y sic a l therapy. Because of its proximity and affordability, DeAnda chose the U niversity H ealth Services' physical therapy department. A lth o u g h the d ep artm en t is relatively unknow n, it has been beneficial not only to athletes but also for other students, such as D eA n d a, w h o h av e so u g h t its care. Most students assume physical therapy is a necessity for condi­ tions common to the elderly, such as arthritis, strokes and heart dis­ ease. Because injuries are among the top re a so n s w hy stu d e n ts seek h ealth care at the cen ter, physical therapy is vital. "When you have a population of 50,000, the majority physically active young adults, there is cer­ tain to be injuries and the need for physical therapy," said Alan Hardin, part-time physical thera­ p ist at U n iv e rsity H ealth S e r ­ vices. H ardin, w ho is also a m en's a th le tic tr a in e r , said he w as brought into the departm ent to bridge the gap betw een athletes who usually didn't use the health center's physical therapy depart­ ment, and students who doubted if they were being provided the same kind of care. "A w eekend w arrior gets the sa m e k in d o f tr e a tm e n t as an N C A A D iv is io n I a th le te ," Hardin said. Students generally seek thera­ py for s p o rts -re la te d in ju rie s, postoperative care after surgery and work-related injuries such as C arpal Tu n nel Synd rom e. Like most medical specialties, physical th e ra p y ca re fo r any p a tie n t re q u ires a p re scrip tio n from a g en eral p h y sicia n b efo re treat­ m ent. P rescrip tion s usually are for a 30-day period and can be renewed for several months. Tracy Gilbert, a full-time physi­ cal therapist who has treated the pains, sprains, and strains of the U n iv e rs ity co m m u n ity for 19 years, said that physical therapy at the health center is a bargain. "W e cut the charge and num­ ber of visits," G ilbert said,. "W e usually charge two-thirds or less [than off-cam p u s th erap ists] ... we take care of the evalu ation , discussion, and treatm ent in one visit."

More and more doctors are recommending physical therapy. $160 depending on the treatment and its d u ratio n . For stu d en ts who can't afford the service or do n o t h a v e in su ra n c e , th e re are payment options. Brenda Luckie, assistant direc­ tor of University Health Services, said physical therapy is a grow­ ing department. Its patients have tripled since the move to the Stu­ d ent S e rv ic e s B u ild in g . In fall 1996, th e n u m b e r o f p a tie n ts treated totaled 409. in 1997-98, it has so far totaled 1,257. This p atien t influ x is due to im p ro v e m e n ts in te ch n o lo g y , equipment and a wider variety of treatm en ts o ffered to patients. The departm ent offers exercise, electrical, w ater and heat thera­ pies. About $27,000 was spent on eq u ip m en t for the new , larg er facility. Not only have there been more PT patients, there is also a grow­ ing student interest in the field. A ccord ing to a report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, physical therapists com pose the fastest-growing health care occu­ pation. In the next 10 years, a 76 p e rce n t g ro w th in the field is expected. The UT Student Health Adviso­ ry C o m m itte e , in c o o p e ra tio n with the physical therapy depart­ m ent, is beg in n in g a volu nteer program to give future physical th erap ists hands-on experience and an opportunity to learn about their field. University Health Ser­ vices plans to spread volunteer o p p o rtu n itie s to o th er d e p a rt­ m ents, such as urgent care and pharmacy, if the program is suc­ cessful. "W e w an ted to get stu d en ts involved with the health center," said C h ristin a H w an g , SH A C president. "W e chose PT as the p ilo t p ro g ram b e c a u s e it is a sm all d ep artm en t and seem ed optim al for the m any stu d en ts interested in the field." While physical therapy was not a cure for DeAnda's migraines, it m ade life easier for her. "A fter three or four visits, I felt much better," DeAnda said. "It's so convenient, it's right on campus. Plus, it was really good and helpful. Econom ically, you can't beat the price." Students express trepidation over health center reputation Thomas Nguyen and Christine Garrison Special to The Texan Em ily O 'D ell, a history senior, developed an upper respiratory infection last fall. Her throat was sore, she had trouble breathing and she said h er head felt like it weighed 300 pounds. So she sched­ uled an appointm ent at University Health Services, O'Dell arrived at the general medi­ cine desk for her appointm ent on time. After 30 minutes of waiting, a doctor examined her for two minutes and sent her home to rest and dnnk hot liquids In the next few days the infection got worse and O'Dell decided to see her family physician in Dallas. After getting a prescription from her family physician O'Dell felt better by mom- rng O'Dell's experience with the UHS was echoed by more than a dozen students at a March 5 forum on the health center, sponsored by a UT journalism class Participants in the forum said health center doctors are second-rate and health center profes­ sionals are often impersonal. Participants of the forum said they suspect doctors work for the health center if they are unable to work any­ where else. Several students joked about the health center's derogatory nickname, the "Quack Shack." "It doesn't seem like the best doc­ tors would be working at the health center," said Sonia Koo, a journalism junior. If salary is any indication of profes­ sionalism, these students would be right. UT doctors and nurses are in the same boat as other UT staff, earn­ ing salaries about 25 to 30 percent below the industry rate for medical professionals Health center physi­ cians earn salaries ranging from $90,000 to $100,000, com pared to starting salaries from $110,000 to $125,000 for private-sector doctors. In truth, health center doctors and nurses are as qualified as those with private practices. At least one student leader is con­ 44 I think that people have a misconception that the doctors at the health center either didn’t go to a good med­ ical school, or they couldn’t get a better job." — ttw isttoi Hwang, biochemistry senior cerned about the general perception on cam pus that the UHS staff is underqualified. "I think that people have a miscon­ ception that the doctors at the health center either didn't go to a good med­ ical school, or they couldn't get a bet­ ter job," said Christina Hwang, a bio­ chemistry senior and member of the Student Health Advisory Committee. According to Susan Bryant, a UHS n urse, m edical p rofession als are attracted to the University Health Ser­ vices for benefits and not the salary. While the salary is low, "the benefits are fabulous," she said. The benefits, including paid health and dental insurance, plentiful vaca­ tion and sick leave and a reliable retirement plan, are worth more to most doctors and nurses than a high­ er salary elsewhere, she said. For many of the doctors and nurs­ es, the most attractive benefit is short, regular working hours. Most medical professionals work 50 to 60 hours per week, and remain on-call for much of the rest of the time, even overnight. But UT health center doctors and nurses work only 40 hours per week, and doctors' on-call time is less than 10 hours per week, running through 8 p.m . only. This type of sch ed ule appeals to doctors who must keep other commitments. "It allows me to have a family life," said Melinda McMichael, an internal organ specialist and interim medical director for the health center. In addition, many health center d o cto rs and n u rses are seco n d - income earners, w hile their spouse b rin g s hom e th e m ajor ea rn in g s. Physician James Tai, whose wife is a full-time physician in private practice, works part-time at the student health center and spends the rest of his week with his four children. "This is an ideal situation for me," Tai said. "I am able to practice medi­ cine and be with my kids at the same time." For others, the most attractive bene­ fit is being employed by the state, and all the perks that come with that: paid health and dental insu ran ce, a dependable retirem en t plan, and more days of vacation and sick leave than the private sector offers. When the University is not in session, like at Christmas, for example, most doctors take weeklong vacations, something almost unheard of in the private sec­ tor. Nurse Bryant said the most attrac­ tive benefit of working at the health center, however, is one that can't be qualified. It's what she called a "much lower stress environment" than that of other clinics and hospitals in the state, whether public or private. "It's like a family here No one is trying to climb the corporate ladder," Bryant said. But perhaps the most u niversal draw for health center doctors and nurses, as well as administrators, is being able to work on a college cam­ pus with an age group that is "eager to learn about and manage their own health." "I knew what a wonderful environ­ ment it was," said nutritionist Monica K rygow ski, who w as hired six months ago to counsel students in the Health Education department. Kry­ gowski said she can appreciate work­ ing with the 18-24 age group, espe­ cially after spending several years working in home health care with older people. She said students are much more interested in health issues than other members of the popula­ tion. I ni 1) su i Ti v \ \ T h e D a il y T e x a n Wednesday, April 2 2 ,1 9 9 8 Page 27 Wanted: new UHS director, cheap Low salary makes it hard to find new health center administrator Christine Garrison and Thomas Nguyen Special to The Texan A fter nine m onths as interim medical director for UT Student H ealth Serv ices, M elinda McMichael said she is anxious to return to seein g her student patients. "1 find taking patients much more rewarding," she said. With McMichael's return to the examining room, the health center needs to find a new medical director, but not one of the staff of physicians at the health center wants the job. So the job will be posted in medical journals next week, but because the salary is far below market, Jeanne Carpenter, director of the health cen­ ter, said she expects the pool of applicants to be severely limited. In general, physicians who desire to move into adm inistration are upwardly mobile and would never settle for the $110,000 salary the health center w ill be offering, McMichael said. She is concerned that finding a new medical director will be difficult. "For the skills we demand for this job, our pay is low. I think if our pay were higher, we'd be attracting a better pool of appli­ cants," she said. Many students and administrators said a substantial increase in the health services fee is needed if the UT health center is going to be able to meet the needs of a high volume of patients at a rapidly growing uni­ versity. Carpenter said a fee increase is needed to hire and keep the quali­ ty and quantity of medical prótes­ is mat one expects at the Uni- sionals versity's health center. decide what amount the health ser­ vices fee at UT-Austin needs to be in order for it to fill the health center's needs. No am ount has been yet identified by either student leaders or administrators, but even a small increase would substantially benefit the health center, since 80 percent of its 1997-98 operating budget of $7,183,436 comes from student fees. State policy prevents Texas public universities from fuñding any part of the budget for their student health centers, so any increase would have to come from student fees. "The majority [of funding] should come from students, since they are the ones using it," Gonzaga said. But not all students would sup­ port a substantial fee increase. Some students áte the fart that the health services fee is only a good deal for students who actually use the health center. Not all students should have to pay a health services fee, espedal- ly an increased one, said Christina Hwang, a biochemistry senior. "I know a lot of people who are already having trouble making ends meet," Hwang said. "I don't think raising the student fee a large amount would be a good idea." In truth, $55 is a small amount compared to what students pay for health services at the state's smaller private universities, which are not subject to a legislative cap. Rice Uni­ versity students pay $90 per semes­ ter for health services, including counseling and psychiatric care. Full-time undergraduate enrollment at Rice was under 3,000 in fall 1997. The 10,000 undergraduate students at Baylor University pay about $105 for their on-campus health care, and students at Texas Christian Universi­ ty, with a fall undergraduate enroll­ ment of 6,000, pay about $100. Bay­ lor and TCU charge their students for health services as part of larger "student services" fees. The current health center budget limits the number of medical profes­ sionals Carpenter can afford to hire. UT doctors' schedules are so full of appointments, she said, students often must go to the Urgent Care Center instead of making an appoint­ ment with a physician in general medicine. A few more nurses are also needed to assist with the high volume of calls for appointments because students are having to wait on hold for long periods of time. Student leaders say the recent small increase in the health ser­ vices fee, from this year's $54 per semester to next year s $55, is not nearly enough. Kara Gonzaga, a student m em ber of the M edical Services Fee Advisory Committee, said a greater increase in the fee is needed to benefit the student body with more doctors, and better and broader health care coverage. "I think in the long run, it's a benefit to everybody," she said. Increasing the fee beyond $55 is easier said than done, since the Texas Legislature, which determines the maximum fee students can be charged for health services, has set the cap at $55 for the UT System. But the University of Texas values the quality of student health care, said James Vick, vice president for stu­ dent affairs. Vick said UT adminis­ trators have been lobbying the Legis­ lature for an increase in the fee cap. A dm inistrators are optim istic that their efforts will pay off. "We have not received, any indication that the Legislature would not be in support of that," said Charles Evans, business manager for the health center. It the fee cap is raised at the1 statt level, the next step would be for the Student Services Fee Committee to Students at other Texas public universities pay about the same amount as UT students. A fee of $40 per semester pays for student health care at Texas A&M's health center, which is 83 percent depen­ dent on student fees. That fee is scheduled for an increase to $44 in 1998-99. At Texas Tech, students pay $49 per semester for health ser­ vices, which are 60 percent funded through student fees. While the University of Texas's health services fee is slightly higher than other public schools, its new health center is the largest and newest in the state. And while some students may not like it, the U1 health services fee will likely be increased. The main reason students may support an increased fee is that the health center needs a budget increase before it can hire and keep adequate medical staff. UHS' 1998-99 budget is so fight that director Jeanne Carpenter said she cannot afford to hire enough medical professionals to examine the 100,000 patients who visit the health center each year. With the increase, UT officials say, enough medical staff could be hired to impact w aiting periods for appointments and improve the quality of provider care students receive from the health center. "We have one of the best health centers in the state," said Randy Cooke, outgoing SG Vice Presi­ dent. "We need to be sure to keep it that way." Rebecca Kroll/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Nurse's a s s ig n .

For Glyshonda Sherman, the b u ild in g s have both p ositiv e and negative connotations. W hen Sherm an, a sociology senior, first visited the old health ce n te r's u rgen t care unit last spring for a minor hand injury, she had doubts about the quality of service she would receive. Ini­ tially, she said she felt like she was not a priority. "I had to wait about one and a h a lf h o u rs in the w a itin g room, and there were only two other patients there," Sherman said. "I was in pain, and it did­ n't help when the person at the front desk acted rude." D e sp ite h er n e g a tiv e first exp erien ce, Sh erm an said on subsequent visits to the center the doctors were kind and the services were adequate. Michael McFadden, a zoology and bio­ chemistry senior who has visit­ ed the health center twice, said he is satisfied with the services he h as receiv ed in th e new building. "They're really nice," McFadden said. "A s far as I can see, there is nothing that should be changed." But at a forum about the UT health center March 5, some stu­ dents expressed their dissatisfac­ tion witn services at the center, and many agreed that the admin­ istrators at University Health Ser­ vices should consider several changes. At the top of the list of students' complaints were poor quality of care and misdiagnosis, inadequate or unfriendly staff, and long w aiting periods for appointments.

The ratio of students to physicians in Urgent Care is usually 42-to- 1 on an average day. w _ We try to treat each indi- plaints vidual without slighting anyone just cam e as r a m p a s su r- a p r i s e . L o v e r ­ ing said he is proud of the medical staff s com petency and its ability to deal courteously and respectfully with patients. He said when a stu­ dent is feeling sick or injured, he or she may have the perception that staff m em bers, who are often greatly outnumbered by the v o l-. ume of patients they process, are being rude. Medical conditions are prioritized so that the most critical patients are seen first, he said. Lovering said students often assume that a change in diag­ nosis as an affliction evolves is o fte n seen by stu d e n ts w ho know little about medical con­ ditions as a misdiagnosis. Cit­ ing a ch icken pox case as an example, Lovering said if a stu­ dent comes to the center with a fever and a scratchy throat, that stu d en t m ig h t be d iagn osed with a viral infection. But if that same student came back a few days later with little bumps on "Sometimes the wait is longer than w h at w e w ould lik e, Lovering said. "We try to treat each individual without slighting anyone just to move on to some­ one else. The majority of the stu­ dents understand that you don't get medical care on demand. his skin, the diagnosis would change to chicken pox, one type of viral infection. He said the on ly w ay to ensure an accurate diagnosis is if a student keeps the doctor informed about changes in his or her condition. "Admittedly, no one is right 100 percent of the time," Lover­ ing said. "That does not mean that someone is inadequate or incompetent." The 1996 death of UT stu ­ dent Jennifer Sparrgrove, who died as the result of a m isdi­ a g n o s is by a h e a lth c e n te r doctor after an u nd iagn osed blood clot in her legs moved to her lungs, remains in many students' minds as an example of the q u ality of h ealth care one can ex p ect to receiv e at the health center. Mervin M al­ one Jr., a jo u rn a lism sen ior, said Sparrgrove's death made some students reluctant to go to the h ealth cen ter, though in c id e n ts lik e th is h av e not deterred him from using the health center. M alon e said h is p erso n al experiences in urgent care met his expectations, and that the d o cto rs h av e p ro v id ed him with prompt and accurate care. He added that he feels no reluc­ tance in taking advantage of the center's services. "W h en you co m p a re the q u a lity of p ro fe s s io n a ls we have here with the quality in the community, 1 am confident that we will meet or surpass the quality y ou 'll find anyw here else," Lovering said. "1 would let any doctor here on staff treat me." , , Stephen Becker and Elizabeth Hernandez Special to The Texan M i ark Goldenbaum, a UT Eng­ lish senior, always gets his L prescriptions filled at the University Health Services pharmacy because he said prices are generally less there than at other pharmacies. But Goldenbaum said he is not sure other students are aware of that fart. "I think living in America, people go for the brand ... they go places like Eck- erd's and buy the brand names," Gold­ enbaum said. "They don t understand that for most pharmaceuticals, the brand name doesn't matter and where they get it doesn't matter either Pharmaceutical prices at the phar­ macy are generally cheaper than the same found at local, commercial pharmades, usually $1 to $3 cheaper per prescription. For prescriptions like acne medicine and oral contra­ ceptives, prices at the pharmacy are as much as $10 to $20 lower than ^ commerdal pharmades. "We're not here to make a profit," said pharmacy director James Park­ er. "We're here to break even " For example, six capsules of Floxin, a drug used to treat urinarv-tract infections, cost $22.40 at the pharma­ cy but retail at $24.99 at Walgreens and $27.19 at Drug Emporium. Thir­ tv 500-me capsules of Tetracycline, ty 500-mg capsules of Tetracycline, an acne-fighting medidne, cost $5.66 at the pharmacy, but is priced at $8.39 at A lbertson's and $8.49 at Drug Emporium. Many factors contribute to the dis­ crepancy in prices, but the primary reason medications are cheaper is because the University's non-profit status allows it to sell pharmaceuti­ cals to students very little mark up. In addition, the University can get phar­ maceuticals at reduced wholesale costs because its pharmacy is part of a state bid that includes universities, prisons and mental health agencies. Also, the UT pharmacy does not stock a wide variety of prescriptions — only those that are commonly needed by students. Pharmacy buyers pur­ chase large orders of frequently-used drugs at quantity discounts. Bulk-purchasing discounts enable the pharmacy to sell several forms of oral contraceptives at less than half the price commercial pharmacies charge. A monthly supply of Deso- gen, priced at $7 at the pharmacy, sells for between $15 and $22 at local commerdal pharmades. "I'll bet you with my sales on oral contraceptives, I sell in a week what most pharmacies do in six or seven months," Parker said. Other factors such as clinic packag­ ing — selling the product without ing - selling the product without fancy packaging — allows for increased savings. Parker said there is a common mis­ conception that prescription prices arc lower at commerdal, chain pharmades. "I think there's a thought pattern that the more [stores] there are in a chain like Walgreen s or Eckerd s, the cheaper it's going to be, Parker said. "But once again, they're here to make money, we re here to break even. Parker, who has worked in stu­ dent health for 18 years, said the pharmacy is more concerned about providing a high level of service and care to students. Each time a student purchases a new prescription, a doc­ tor or nurse practitioner meets with that student to educate him or her about the correct way to take the medicine and possible side effects. "Here, I can buy a prescription and leam all 1 need to know about it, or 1 can go to Eckerd's and have them throw a bag at me for the same price," Parker said. "As a consumer, I want to get the most for my dollar." Parker said the time a student spends talking with a member of the pharmacy staff about his or her prescription is in that patient's best interest. "We try to make sure that it's not embarrassing," Parker said. "We try to treat it like a life decision rather than a view of their sexuality.

New vs. old: Students, administrators cheer move to new building Amy Braunagel, Brian Gaar and Clay Wrzasinski Special to The Texan ith the health center's move to the new Student Services Building, health admin­ istrators say, the system for handling student traffic has become more efficient. Jeanne Carpenter, director of Universi­ ty Health Services, said the new facility allows the health center to care for stu­ dents more efficiently than the old build­ ing. "I d id n 't realize how bad the old b u ild in g was until I m oved in here," Carpenter said. "There is no comparison between the two buildings." But sleek new facility and fancy new equipm ent aside, students still question w h ether the new health center is any more efficient. Some students say wait­ ing lines to make an appointm ent or to receive a prescription remain long. "They said the new facilities were sup­ posed to make things run faster, but it doesn't," said Angelina York, a radio- television-film junior. "The new building is nice, but the health center is still very slow in acco m m o d atin g s tu d e n ts ... maybe they need more staff or more doc­ tors, but something needs to be done."

R a bacca K ro ll/D A IL Y TfcXAN s i a h - Students voice concern over raising fees for more services Zacfc McLain and Ari Cohn Special to The Texan Any student who has ever com­ plained about the long wait at the University Health Services clinic or the lack of 2 4 -h o u r care am ong o th er gripes sh o u ld keep this in mind: it's the students that foot the bill. The current price of health care at the University stands at $54.20 per semester with a cap set at $55 by the Texas Legislature. To raise the cap would take overwhelm ing student support says Shannon Janes, asso­ ciate vice p re sid e n t for S tu d e n t Affairs. "We'd have to tap student opin­ ion," Janes said. "Because of the resistance to higher fees, a strong student initiative would be required to raise the cap " Judging by general opinion, that ini­ tiative may never get off the ground "I've never used the health cen­ ter," said Derrick Seidenberg, a psy­ chology senior. "Why would I want to pay more for it?" Others feel the same way. In fact it is hard to find a differing student opinion. "I d o n 't th in k e n o u g h p eo p le need expanded services to justify a n o th e r fee h ik e," said Jean n ie Siskovic, an Eastern European stud­ ies junior. But is there an urgent need for increased staff at the health center? Officials at the center don't seem to think so. With an overall staff of about 190 and a brand new building to utilize, University Health Services director Jeanne Carpenter says they are still se ttlin g into a rh y th m after last sum m er's move. "W e're continually tweaking the system ," C arp e n te r said. "T here hasn't been much time to get used to the layout. The working relation­ U I’ve never used the health center. Why would I want to pay more for it?” — BmrkM HUmám* A JjrM fcf ) w w Hr sh ip s of all o u r sta ff m em bers changed. People are working with people they h aven't w orked with before." But for now the consensus at the center is th at th ings are ru n n in g smoothly. Of course, what office w ouldn't like a larg e r staff to lig h te n the workload? U niversity H ealth Services cur­ rently is paying its staff over $5.6 million for the year. If the pharmacy is included, that figure rises to over $6 million. Also included in these am ounts are perks such as retire­ ment benefits. Turnover at the health center is high only in the clerical staff. The p ro fe ssio n a l staff, on the o th e r hand, tends to stick it out with sev­ eral doctors closing in on 20 years at the University. "When we get professional staff in, they're here for the long haul," said Deby H ollenbeck, personnel manager at the center. But that doesn't necessarily help deal w ith the large population of students that could w alk into the health center at any moment. W hen things get backed up, the center may shift staff from one area to another to handle busier offices. For example, if the urgent care cen­ ter sees an avalanche of patients, a nurse is assigned to help ease the strain. "A s far as w h at it w ill take if we're going to add additional staff, we don't have that [financial] flexi­ bility and will not have that flexibil­ ity for a couple of years," Carpenter said. "If we had additional funds, the areas I w o u ld be lo o k in g at w ould be in increasing registered nurses." N urses are essential to getting care to the students as they are the first health care officials with whom a student usually sees or talks. The c u rre n t p h o n e ban k for advice and appointm ents becomes o v e rru n by calls th ro u g h o u t the week and could probably benefit from extra staff. An averag e M onday m orning, between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., brings about 100 or more calls to the nurses, said Brenda Luckie, assistant direc­ tor for ancillary services. That num ­ ber decreases over the course of the morning and picks up again around noon. Calls are taken until 8 p.m. The advice from the health center is to expect long waits in the clinic and on the phone during the first co u p le of h o u rs in the m o rn in g because that is when most students seek attention. So, if you don't have the patience to wait and you demand im med’ate attention every time you go in, you might want to start convincing stu­ dents to support higher health fees. "I get what 1 pay for," said Elisa Castrolugo, a history junior. "The people that complain need to think about the low cost we pay. And you know th ey 'll be the first ones to complain when the fees are raised."
