James Vick, UT vice president for student affairs, said the decision resu lted in part becau se the U niversity w as in need of more h o u sin g for freshm en, and also because the value of the residential space on campus is so valuable. "We're changing many things in housing across the cam pus — in part we are emphasizing the needs of freshman," Vick said, adding that one major focus was increasing the number of UT residence halls and improving the dorm experience. Ashim a D uggal, a co-op house m an ager and a ph ilosop h y and Asian studies senior, said she was disappointed with the decision. "It's not w hat we w an ted ," Duggal said. "Even in the remaining co-ops there are going to be changes Inade that will not allow us to be a cooperative." Under the plan, UT officials said the co-ops will undergo an approxi­ mately $1 million facelift that will include new furniture in the living centers, installation of air condition­ ing in buildings still without it, and improvements in standards for the disabled. Residents in the new livmg-leam- ing centers will be able to purchase meal plans, and janitorial service will be provided. Doug Garrard, assistant director of the D ivision of H ou sin g and Food Services, said housing rates will go up for residents of the for­ mer co-ops because of the renova­ tions. He did* not have any estimates Thursday as to the amount of the rate change. Currently, co-op m em bers pay between $325 and $350 per month and must contribute to the cooking and cleaning of their house. This has p ro v id ed som e stu d en ts a cheaper alternative to UT dorms. Some co-op residents will have to move out by next summer. Garrard said the co-ops would be closed next summer to convert two of the buildings into small living- learning centers by fall 1999. The last building would be converted into a University Residence Hall by fall 2000. The dorm lottery system, which allocates 70 percent of UT housing to freshm an and 30 percent to upperclassm an, will effect the UT controlled co-ops in 2000. G arrard said the chan ges will pose challenges for current co-op residents that want to stay in the houses. "There are go in g to be som e members that won't be able to get in CO-OPS/Page 2 Claudia Grisales Daily Texan Staff the Ending m onths of speculation fu tu re of the UT ab ou t Women's Cooperatives, UT officials announced a plan W ednesday to take control of half of the co-op buildings by the year 2000. The plan will end a 63-year-old tradition of cooperative living at these houses. Three of the six co-op buildings will be converted into University- operated "living-leaming centers," dorms which will include a class­ room, faculty offices and a confer­ ence room. After negotiating with the Co-op Council passes CSC venture Brian Gaar Daily Texan Staff The A ustin City C ouncil approved a resolution Thursday to lease three city block s to the Computer Science Corporation in an effort to bring a major technology company to the downtown area. The software com pany is plan­ ning on con stru ctin g a region al h e ad q u arters in A u stin and — according to the proposal — would build two 175,000-square-foot, six- story office buildings on two city blocks. Through the resolution — which passed five to one — the council directed the city manager to negoti­ ate a contract with CSC for the plan. Once a contract is drafted, the coun­ cil will again have to vote on the deal. Councilmember Beverly Griffith o p p o s e d the r e so lu tio n an d Councilmember Willie Lewis was not p re se n t for the v o te late Thursday night. The first floors of the proposed b u ild in g s — both on W est 2nd Street, one block lying between San Antonio and Guadalupe streets and the other betw een L av aca and Colorado streets — would be desig­ nated as retail space.

Potter flew as the navigator for Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle — one of the premier U.S. pilots during the war — in the 1942 Tokyo raid. "We were all pretty happy. This was the first retalia­ tion against the Japanese since Pearl Harbor," Potter said of how he and the other 80 men reacted when they learned of their mission. "It did a great job for morale. The U.S. and our allies were pretty low at the '‘"time — the Japanese looked like they were going to take over everything." Today, Potter volunteers with the Centex Wing of the Confederate Air Force in San Marcos, restoring planes from WWII and collecting artifacts and memo­ rabilia from the war. Nearly 20 restored planes from the era will be on display this Saturday, including a B-25 Mitchell, the model of bomber Potter flew during the Tokyo raid. Jim Liles, Centex wingleader, said about eight of the aircraft in Saturday's show are regularly kept and maintained at the Confederate Air Force hangar in San Marcos. A few dozen members of the Centex wing spend their afternoons working on the planes, occasionally taking them up for flights, and renovating their hangar, which has been under repair since the group began leasing the space from the city of San Marcos in 1991. Originally, there was a house and a 10-foot wall made of rock, concrete and cinder block sitting where the aircraft are currently stored. Centex members volunteered to turn the structure into a home for the warplanes, clearing the rubble TAKING FUGHT/Pagel A World War IIP-38 fighter sits in the Confederate Air Force hangar at the San Marcos Airport.

Escaped death-row inmate found dead in river Associated Press H U N T SV IL L E — D eath row inm ate M artiq G urule, the su b ­ ject of a m assive m anhunt since he e sc a p e d the E llis U n it on T h an ksgiv in g night, w as found dead in the Trinity River about a mile away Thursday. Gurule's bloated corpse was dis­ covered about 5:30 p.m. beneath a b rid ge by two off-<£uty prison employees fishing near the commu­ nity of R iverside, said prison spokesman Larry Todd. "W e are con firm in g it is him, based upon the prison clothing that he w as w earing and based upon facial features," Todd said. "The body had deteriorated from being underwater." The body was found about a mile east of the prison at the mouth of Harmon Creek, which empties into the Trinity River. "It was clearly the intense pres­ sure put on him by search teams and dogs and horseback that forced him to sw im H arm on C reek ," spokesman Larry Fitzgerald said. The creek and river had been swift from recent rains. ■ "Obviously this supports our the­ ory all along that he never moved from the area," Fitzgerald said. "We feel the inm ate had been dead for some time and had been underwater, which prevented the heat-seeking devices from being productive," Todd said. Officials said it was uncertain if there were add ition al w ou n d s because of the deterioration of the body. However, he was found wrapped in cardboard and had two sets of underwear. Fitzgerald speculated that w as how he was able to get over the razor fence without serious injury. An autopsy would be conducted "at the earliest convenience," Todd said.

Staff requests include a $200-a- month cost-of-living increase for all employees, a pay increase to $8.93 an hour for the lowest-paid work­ ers, and a freeze on salaries above $65,000 until high er w ages are achieved for staff. A dd ition al req u ests retirem ent in clu ded c lassificatio n -sy stem op tion s, reform, and the establishment of an advocacy process. Faulkner said he is committed to increasing compensation for classified staff members in the 1999-2000 year. Pay raises would take into account inflation and cost of living changes. He said he will also, through leg­ islative requests, pursue a budget review and the creation of "a signifi­ cant pool of funds for staff-merit increases and equity adjustments." . Responding to other requests, he vowed to encourage the Legislature to equalize the benefits of the two existin g sy stem s, retirem ent increase staff representation on UT com m ittees, and re-evaluate the staff-classification system. But he added that a unilateral, across-the-board payroll increase is not possible without jeopardizing other existin g operation s at the University. He also said he would not freeze the salaries of higher- compensated employees. Faulkner said ne has appointed a 12-member Presidential Committee on Staff Compensation to advise the administration. Four of the mem­ bers are classified as staff employ­ ees.

Roberto Rivera/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Association President Peg Kramer said she is glad to have Faulkner working for staff raises but disap­ pointed that som e specific staff requests weren't met. "I had hoped his response to our list would be more concrete, tangi: ble, more specific and less vague," Kramer said. She added that she believes it is possible to pay staffers more before the next budget is set, noting that H arvard University has recently shifted their funding to increase its operating budget.

Mayor Kirk Watson said the move will provide opportunity for Austin residents by "growing a great down­ town." Providing a downtown base for technology companies will help spur the economy while breaking up the traditional downtown mix of law, governm ent and banking offices, Watson said. But several groups raised con­ cerns about the proposal, which was just announced Monday. Karin Ascot, conservation chair­ woman for the Sierra Gub, said the public should be given more time to provide feedback on the plan. Ascot said her group was "not happy that the public was not informed at all and given very little time to respond or think about it." Paul Robbins, an environmental activist, also raised concerns about the proposal's speedy timetable.

Robbins said. Ascot said the Sierra Q ub is con­ cerned about the plans CSC has for the property. "We want to make sure we end up with good development and not a parking lot," she said. The proposal also calls for a new city hall, com plete w ith u n d er­ ground parking and a public plaza, to be constructed on the site of the existing municipal annex on 2nd Street. City Manager Jesus Garza said leasing the property, valued at $11.9 million, to CSC would save the city $968,000 annually. The new building would employ around 2,400 employees, bringing the city an additional $1.3 million in sales-tax revenue, Garza said. But the plan also calls for the dem olition and relocation of the existing businesses and organiza­ tions on the leased property — at a cost of $1.6 million. Those businesses affected would include Liberty Lunch, the Homeless Resource Center, the C hildren's Museum and the day labor site. The proposal directs the city man­ ager to "use his best efforts to locate suitable alternative facilities" for the affected organizations. Jeanette Ward, owner of Liberty Lunch, said the council needs to be committed to finding a new home for the music venue. "In our rush to becoming a fully- developed city, we are losing impor­ tant places that make A ustin unique," Ward said. "I do find it ironic that CSC is displacing us to further their own development."

"The issue of concurrent enroll­ ment is one that we should advise about," Gamel said. "I see students who are caught between different policies." Students seeking to transfer into the College of Natural Sciences with math courses from another univer­ sity are strongly restricted by the current policy, said Joy Lock, assis­ tant to the dean in the College of Natural Sciences' student division. "If a student in another college is taking all math courses, and pursu­ ing a math degree, then they have to follow and meet our guidelines," Lock said. The College of Natural Sciences does not allow concurrent enroll­ m ent during the spring and fall semesters — except in the case of Math 301, which is not taught on campus, Lock said. The Colleges of Communication, E ngineering, and Pharmacy also do not allow concur­ rent enrollment during the long ses­ sions without special approval. Business The College of Education allows concurrent enrollment if the student is enrolled for 12 hours of classes on the UT campus. Only the College of Liberal Arts has no restrictions on concurrent enrollment. In all colleges, students may not take classes at another institution during the semester they intend to graduate.

"The policy is really unfair to stu­ dents," she said.

The other option would be to per­ mit concurrent enrollment during, any semester, but suggest obtaining* prior w ritten approval to ensure that classes taken at another school* would transfer as the same course. # Bhatia said she hoped the EPC, would come up with a solid propos­ al by February to go before the full Faculty Council and UT President Larry Faulkner. [ But A1 Meyer, associate dean for student affairs in the College o f Engineering and an EPC member, cautioned members of the commit-’ tee to be careful when looking at changing the policy. "G iving up any reg u latio n of. w hen they have the concurrent- enrollm ent is a m istake," Meyer said. "Part of our responsibility as! educators is to try and make sure students make reasonable progress, that they take things in the right: sequence." Meyer added that if you could not control concurrent enrollment, you could not manage the number of hours students m ay take in a semester.

DECMER 4 .1 8 8 6 8 Israel faces questions about military Associatsd Prats TEL AVIV, Israel — A single pho­ tograph — that of a young Israeli soldier cowering ’under the blows of a Palestinian mob — ignited a fierce nationwide debate Thursday over whether Israel has lost its military nerve. The photo was splashed across the front pages of every newspaper in Israel. While the prime minister and oth­ ers wondered out loud why the sol­ dier never opened fire with his M- 16 rifle Wednesday, other Israelis insisted the new recruit would not be alive today if he had acted other­ wise. "W hat has happened to us, for God's sake? Are we a country with a strong defense force or have we turned into a country of wimps?" wrote Yaacov Erez, the editor-in- chief of the Maariv newspaper. His words struck deeply into the psyche of Israel, a country founded on the ashes of the Holocaust and whose aim was to never allow Jews to be vulnerable again. Assaf Meyara, 19, was recovering Thursday from m ultiple injuries inflicted by a dozen Palestinians who smashed the windows of the car he was sitting in, dragged him out and struck him repeatedly with chunks of concrete. The mob, fresh from an anti-Israel demonstration, also stole Meyara's rifle as he ran to safety, then set his car on fire. The am bush prom pted Prim e M inister Benjam in Netanyahu to freeze troop withdrawals from the West Bank and suspend implement­ ing the latest U.S.-brokered Mideast peace accord. Netanyahu suggested Thursday that Meyara should have followed open-fire procedures and should have been more prepared. "If a soldier or civilian is caught in a life-threatening situation, it is his right and even his obligation to save himself in accordance with the law,*' he told reporters. Defenders of Meyara, including President Ezer Weizman, said it was a mistake to judge a young soldier newly assigned to the often violent W est Bank. On radio talk shows, many Israelis said Meyara escaped alive because he didn't open fire and risk the chance of having his gun grabbed and turned against NEWS BRIEFS FBI: Rudolph still hiding in mountains ■ ANDREWS, N.C. — Credible signs exist to show bombing sus­ pect Eric Rudolph is still hiding out in the North Carolina moun­ tains, a leader of an FBI task force said Thursday. Terry Turchie of the Southeast Bomb Task Force said there are ' many reports of suspicious activ­ ities in the search area, which is more than a half-million acres of forest land. "T h ese activ ities in clu d e prowlers, barking dogs at unusu­ al hours of the night, often for many nights in a row, missing food and even some reports of strangers," he said. "We believe some of these reports are credible as they relate to Eric Rudolph." About 200 searchers continue looking for Rudolph, 32, an expe­ rienced outdoorsm an. He has been a fugitive since the Jan. 29 bombing of a Birmingham, Ala., abortion clinic that killed an off- duty policem an and severely wounded a nurse. He has since been charged in th at bom bing and in three A tlanta attacks, including the 1996 Olympic Park bombing that killed one person. The search focu sed on this rugged, mountainous area after Rudolph's pickup truck, report­ edly spotted near the Birming­ ham clinic, was found near Mur­ phy in early February. Ex-con to teach ASU Pre-Law course ■ PHOENIX — Arizona State University's newest criminal jus­ tice instructor can claim unusual career °experience — a murder. Jam es Hamm, who shot and killed someone when he was a teen-ager, has been hired to teach two courses in the School of Jus­ tice Studies this spring semester, The A rizona R epublic reported Thursday. " I thin k this p rovid es the School of Justice Studies with a unique opportunity to have a for­ mer prisoner trained in the law teaching at the university level," Hamm said. Hamm will teach one pre-law course on substantive criminal law and another on due process and the Bill of Rights. Some critics have a problem with the latest addition to the fac­ ulty. "T h is has got to be a cruel jo k e ," Phoen ix atto rn ey Dan Cracchiolo said. "It's like Hanni­ bal Lecter inviting Jodie Foster to a tea party." Hamm pleaded guilty in 1974 to shooting Willard J. Morely Jr. during a drug deal in Tucson. He was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison and served 17 years before he was paroled in 1992. Since then he earned his col­ lege degree, then a law degree from ASU. Despite his gains, the state's clemency board refused earlier this year to release him from parole. Dennis Palum bo, the justice stu d ies p ro fesso r who in te r­ viewed Hamm for the job, said Hamm deserves a second chance. "He did something real stupid when he was 17. Why the hell should we condemn him for the rest of his life?" Palumbo said. Man suspected of giving baby HIV ■ ST. CH ARLES, Mo. — Jen­ nifer's infant son was in a hospi­ tal recovering from an asthma attack — doing well, she says, until his father showed up. The father, Brian Stewart, told her to take a break from their so n 's bed sid e. W hen she testified Jen n ifer retu rn ed , Wednesday, the baby was upset and Stewart immediately left. Stewart, 32, of Columbia, 111., is accused of injecting HIV-tainted blood into his then-11-month- old son in February 1992. Prose­ cutors say he wanted to avoid paying child support. The boy, now 7, w as d iag ­ nosed with AIDS in 1996. Stew art allegedly sm uggled contaminated blood out of a hospi­ tal where he worked as a phle- botom ist, a person who draws blood. If convicted of first-degree assault, he could get life in prison. The boy's mother, identified only as Jen n ifer to protect the child's anonymity, testified on the first day of Stewart's trial -that he told her she didn't need to seek child support because "your child is not going to live very long." — Com piled from A sso cia te d Press reports ASSOCIATED PRESS Israeli police fire rubber bullets and tear gas at stone-throwing Palestinians during clashes in East Jerusalem Thursday. Sporadib riots continued for the second day fol­ lowing the fatal stabbing of a Palestinian worker in Jerusalem Wednesday. him. "Assaf was in (the West Bank) for all of three weeks, without a full briefing, without experience; he was alone without other soldiers and he acted like any officer, general or even the army's chief-of-staff would have to save his life," said Meyara's mother, Lisa. In a military-minded country, where a majority of its citi­ zens are drafted for lengthy army service, many questions regarding standard training and procedures were raised as a result of Wednes­ day's attack. M eyara's rifle was not loaded, and some reports suggested it was in the back seat of the car at the time instead of in Meyara's possession — both serious violations of army reg­ ulations. Moments before the car Meyara was rid in g in was attacked , an Israeli army jeep drove through the same intersection, on the outskirts of the Palestinian-controlled city of Ramallah. The jeep was pelted with chunks of rock by the same group of P alestinians and then drove off, rather than remaining on the scene, clearing the junction and helping protect other Israeli cars. V eteran Israeli defense corre­ spondent Ronnie Shaked said the images of both Israeli soldiers and civilians fleeing from Palestinians have crushed Isra e l's d eterren t im age of stre n g th — and w ill encourage Palestinians to further test Israeli troops. An unnamed army official quoted by Maariv said the army may issue charges again st M eyara for not using his w eapon. An arm y spokesman said any possible disci­ pline would only com e a fter an investigation. Meyara's mother, an immigrant from England, told Israel radio her son was not sure he was permitted to shoot at the crowd. She also said she would leave the country with her son if the army tried to punish him. "We could have been on the way to a funeral today," she declared. GOP pushing for impeachment vote soon Associated Press WASHINGTON — Republicans jettisoned cam paign fund raising from their im peachm ent inquiry Thursday, likely clearing the way for a historic House Judiciary Com­ mittee vote next week over Presi­ dent C lin ton 's relationship with Monica Lewinsky and his effort to cover it up. At the sam e tim e, incom ing Speaker Bob Livingston signaled a desire for the full House to convene in a pre-Christmas session to vote on any articles of impeachment that win committee approval. "If the Judiciary Committee could com plete its w ork next w eek, it would be my expectation that we could have a vote on the following w eek," the Louisiana Republican said in his first public remarks on the subject in more than a week. Táken together, the developments am ounted to strong signals that majority Republicans — chastened by disappointing election results — intend to move swiftly to wrap up the third presidential impeachment inquiry in the nation's history. Even so, while the GOP-controlled panel is expected to approve at least one article of impeachment on a party line vote, the outcome oh the House floor remains in doubt. Democrats, as well as Republi­ cans including Peter King of New York, intensified efforts during the day to cra ft an a ltern a tiv e that would stop short of impeachment. Spokesman Kevin Fogarty said King and several other GOP law­ makers were laboring over a pro­ posal that would "include a strong cond em nation of C lin ton and require him to pay a financial penal­ ty and issue a statement acknowl­ edging wrongdoing." Key D em ocrats m et p rivately with the party's leader, Rep. Dick Gephardt, and — according to two sources speaking on condition of anonymity — they will soon begin contacting Republican lawmakers outside the Judiciary Committee to see what bip artisan cooperation might be possible in the full House. These sources added that w hile Dem ocrats are w illing to jo in in efforts to w rap up the issu e by y ear's end, they w ill in sist on a lengthy period for debate on the House floor and demand that con­ sideration be given to censure as an alternative to impeachment. There was no end to the skirmish­ ing between the White House and the Judiciary Committee. In a letter to top W hite House lawyers, the com m ittee's general counsel, Thom as E. M ooney Sr., said that whoever delivers the for­ mal defense of the president before the committee will be "subject to at least one full round of questioning" by the lawmakers on the panel and staff. Mooney also wrote that the com­ mittee does not have some docu­ ments the White House requested in preparation for the defense, noting in particular that internal Justice D epartm ent m em os related to Livingston was clear that he wants the committee to complete its work this year, if possible. While he indicated he would like the House to convene after the panel votes, only Rep. Newt Gingrich, the outgoing speaker, has the power to call lawmakers back for a lame-duck session. alleged campaign finance irregulari­ ties are in the possession of depart­ ment officials. Other documents the White House sought, he wrote, will be made available only in the con­ fines of the com m ittee's heavily guarded document room. Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., has set aside Dec. 8 for die White House to present evidence favorable to Clinton, and Mooney said the White House must submit the names of any wit­ nesses by Friday. In comments to reporters, L iv­ ingston sidestepped questions over censure. "Each member of Congress has the responsibility to search his heart and his conscience and judge for him self the importance to his constituents, what his vote should be," said the Louisiana Republican. L ivingston was clear that he wants the committee to complete its work this year, if possible. V%ile he indicated he would like the House to convene after the panel votes, only Rep. Newt Gingrich, the outgo­ ing speaker, has the power to call lawmakers back for a lam e-duck session. G ingrich is expected to agree to do so if Livingston asks. The GOP suffered unexpected set­ backs in last month's elections, and polls indicate consistently that the public wants the curtain to come down on the long-running national drama involving the president and the former White House intern. Hyde, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, has made it clear for several weeks he wants to wrap the panel's work up by year's end. At the same time, he says he wants to pursue all legitimate leads. On Tuesday, the com m ittee gained access to unedited, internal Ju stice D epartm ent m em oranda relating to the agency's inquiry into alleged irregularities in Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign. Within hours, two committee lawyers jour­ neyed to the Justice Department, read the memos, then returned to the Capitol where they reported their findings to Hyde and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., the senior Democrat on the committee. Hyde relayed the results to GOP members of the panel in a morning conference call. "The committee will not address allegations involving abuse of campaign finance laws in its deliberations currently scheduled for next week," he later said in a written statement. The decision to abandon the cam­ paign finance aspect of the impeach­ ment inquiry came a few days after Republicans similarly decided not to look in depth at allegations by Kathleen W illey, a form er W hite House volunteer, that Clinton had made a sexual pass at her. In that case, Republicans on the committee subpoenaed Willey's attorney and N athan Landow , a D em ocratic donor, in connection with her alle­ gations. After questioning them, Republicans then declared the issue was off the table for the impeach­ ment inquiry. Other areas have been dropped one-by-one, as well. Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr advised the com m ittee in a daylong appearance last month he had found no evidence of impeach­ able offen ses in co n trov ersies involving FBI files at the W hite House; the firing of White House travel office officials and Whitewa­ ter, the failed Arkansas land deal he was originally appointed to investi­ gate. The decision to drop campaign finance issues apparently leaves the panel to craft articles of impeach­ ment only from C linton's sexual trysts with Lewinsky and his efforts to conceal them in a sworn deposi­ tion, in a grand jury appearance, in conversations with aides who later testified before the grand jury and to the public. Disagreements still hindering Northern Ireland Associated Press BELFAST, N orthern Ireland — Northern Ireland's major Protes­ tant and Catholic parties clashed Thursday, hours after apparently agreeing on the next steps toward making April's peace agreement a reality. R ival w ings of Irish C ath olic opinion, the moderate Social Demo­ cratic and Labor Party and militant Sin n Fein, accused the B ritish Protestant party, the Ulster Union­ ists, of retreating from commitments m ade early Thursday in negotia­ tio n s overseen by B ritish Prim e Minister Tony Blair. The prime minister's spokesman, Alastair Campbell, said Blair was "disappointed that the parties had But in an Ulster Unionist meeting, members com - plained to leader David Trimble that the package conceded too much at a time when the outlawed Irish Republican Army, linked with Sinn Fein, was refusing to disarm. not been able to build on the progress made last night and that a number of different interpretations had arisen." When Blair left early Thursday, C atholic politicians were openly con fid en t they and the U lster Unionists would announce within hours two key planks of Northern Ireland's nev^ government: forming a 10-post executive administration and seven policy-m aking com m it­ tees to work with the Irish Republic. The Irish prim e m inister, B ertie A h ern , had plan n ed to travel to Belfast to demonstrate support for the package. But in an Ulster Unionist meeting, m em bers com plained to lead er David Trimble that the package con­ ceded too much at a time when the outlawed Irish Republican Army, linked with Sinn Fein, was refusing to disarm. U lste r U n io n ist d ep u ty lea d er John Taylor said the members were su pporting only three of the pro­ posed cross-border com m ittees — an essential part o f the agreem ent for C atholics, who think the com ­ mittees will promote eventual unifi­ cation. He said Trimble was leaving Fri­ d ay for W a sh in g to n , w h e re the eight party leaders who supported A pril's agreem ent w ere to receive an aw ard , and w ould th en go to Norway where he and SDLP leader Jo h n H u m e w o u ld re c e iv e th e Nobel Peace Prize. Serious delibera­ tio n s p ro b a b ly w o u ld n 't resu m e until Dec. 14, Taylor said. A fu rio u s S ea m u s M allo n , the SDLP deputy leader elected along­ side Trimble to oversee formation of the ad m in istration , told reporters that the agreement "has been done and I stand by it. It is now for the other parties to confirm their com ­ m itm ent and p articip atio n in the agreem ent brokered by the prim e minister." Sin n Fein lea d er G erry A dam s said Trimble had confirmed during a Thursday afternoon meeting "his agreement in principle on 10 depart­ m ents. C lea rly the U n io n ists are clawing back from that." Ahem, who spoke by telephone with B lair, said they both w ere the "very d isappointed progress that appeared to have been made last night has evaporated dur­ ing the course of the day." that 4■¡The D a i l y T e x a n HHMY, D B M H R 4 ,1N8 T h e Da i l y T e x a n Editorial Board Editor Michael Mulcahy Associate Editors Sholnn Freeman Elizabeth Souder Spencer Prou Amy Strahan VIEWPOINT Slowly. Surely? As one staffer said after hearing UT President Larry Faulkn­ er's speech to the UT staff, "He's always seemed a bit wishy- washy, but I feel he's sincerely faying to be helpful." Thursday, the University Staff Association closed its fall activities with a speech from Faulkner responding to staff requests, including a $2(30 cost-of-living increase for all employees, an $8.93 per hour wage for the lowest-paid staffers and a better UT grievance process. Though Faulkner's clearly out of touch with the concerns of the University's lowest-paid employees (a custodian who politely described her situation and and salary was met with a frank "I don't know" from our president), Faulkner did leave UT employees with some hopes for the coming year. Faulkner said he supports a career ladder for UT staffers to help ensure that employees receive progressive titles and com­ pensation based on their achievements. This comment gar­ nered a round of applause from those assembled, and it's a good step toward keeping experienced staff at the University. He also promised to fulfill some of the proposals made last year in response to the Buck report, which outlined the outra­ geous disparity between UT wages and their Austin equivalents. "Last year I said if at all possible we'd implement the remaining 60 percent of the pay scale" recommended by the UT presidential committee, Faulkner said. "I'm committed to doing that in the next budget year." That7 s a tall order to fill for Faulkner, who is well aware that UT bureaucracy frowns upon actually implementing anything suggested by a committee. But he seems sincere. Speaking of committees, Faulkner also promised to tell deans and other administrators to include staff members in regular decision-making committees. It was a small request, and Faulkner should ensure that all academic and other departments carry out his order. In a show of good faith on the staff repre­ sentation issue, Faulkner has appointed four staff members to his new committee on staff salaries. The ad hoc committee, headed by Edwin Dorn, dean of the LBJ School of Public Affairs, will hopefully listen to these staffers and refrain from indulging in the bureaucratic blathering typical of ad hoc committees. Most of these straightforward statements made by Faulkner Thursday weren't in the text of his speech. Perhaps these devi­ ations show that he's truly thinking about staff concerns. But on the other hand this event didn't produce any real guarantees and this could be just another chapter of big talk with limited action. Before Faulkner's address, University Staff Association President Peg Kramer referred to employees' efforts as bringing "The University of Texas' culture from the 1950s into the new millennium." Full speed ahead. EDITORIALS I only like people I don’t know Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor or writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the University administration, die Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. Editor's Note: At the end o f the semes­ ter, The Texan runs "30" columns from graduating staffers. This is their chance to express unedited opinion about any and all topics. Four and a half years at this lousy university and I still feel like a back­ wards hick out of Wichita Falls. At first I didn't want this column to be the typical 30 column where the writer lists all of the people he remem­ bers and will remember. It's usually all a bunch of inside jokes. But that's what it is. Before I get into this, I would like to thank the football team and Ricky Williams for making my last game here the most memorable and some­ thing for me to brag about to my many children scattered across the land. I'll start with a few general words that are floating, struggling and drowning in my tar pit mind before I delve into the personal insults. #1 The traffic in this town sucks. I'd give anything to wipe out a third of Austin's population. I wouldn't care how it was done (disease or mass mur­ der) as long as I and all the people I like get to stay. How juvenile is that? #2 People who walk around cam­ pus while talking on cell phones are idiots. Wait till you get home, you losers. I've never heard anyone of you pricks having an important conversa­ tion. Apd where do you get off taking calls in the middle of class? All of you, please go to hell. #3 Journalism majors: CHANGE YOUR FREAKIN' MAJORS! Lord knows I never learned anything in those classes. Especially J361. And my slow-witted, lazy self can't take full responsibility for that. On the upside: Griff is cool. #4 Texan staffers: Don't get caught up in the "family" of the Daily Texan. While the filthy, window-less base­ ment can provide more education than the school above it, some people take it all too seriously. Thus, they will expect you to take it too seriously. Just do your job, have fun and learn as much as possible. And when others start talking about you behind your back because you aren't part of the incestuous commune, ignore them. Let me say, however, that I don't regret coming to UT. I've had the most fun of my entire life — past, present and future (more than likely). I've met a lot of people, and I still care about a handful of 'em. So, here we go, you sons of bitches. Look for your name, read what I write about you and hate me if you want. You can still come to our party next weekend. I would normally start with the peo­ ple I met when I came to Austin, but 4 1/2 years have wiped out most of Zack McLain -30-COLUMN them except for Brian and Mike Nunez. So Mike, thanks for drinking all of that beer with me a couple of summers ago. Otherwise, I might have gone crazy. Then there's Elisa Castrolugo: Thank you, too. You know what I'm talking about. Moving on to Hell on Earth. The crew of the 1997 summer news staff (characters like Henry "Chip" Cheek, Aaron "Chip" Ryan, Eugene "Chip" Medellin, Paige "Chip" Leav­ itt, to a lesser extent — Reid "Chip" Middlebrooks, etc.): I had a good first experience at the Texan that quickly dissolved into misery once the fall came around. But you guys were great. Derek Huntington Martin: Some of us are under the impression that you have worked every job in existence. Modeling and acting in New York (an extra in films like Coming to America) — check. Teaching English in Spain — check. Pulling a rickshaw on 6th Street — check. Arm wrestling Strahan for a mouse — check. You started the trend of getting drunk at lunch on Fridays even when we were supposed to be writing stories. Kevin "The Great" Ley: You taught me that it was okay to hate everyone. You also did something to forever cement you in Texan lore: you attempt­ ed to impale Strahan's skull on a pen. You'd better hope she's not Irish. Heath Shelby: The best news editor of all time. I can't think of any other staffer with whom I would see Sir Mix-a-Lot at Bob Popular (don't tell anyone about that, though). Beth "Buffy" Wawema: You proved that it is possible to get away from here, no matter what some of the idiots may say. We've been tattooed together, and we've saved stranded New Orleans residents together. Of course, you are nowhere to be found these days. Cheers to Sara although she has always despised me and want­ ed me dead. Derek "Captain Trips" Rowan: Your straw hat helped me through a rough time. We need to go get in at least one barroom brawl before I leave. to think you were a mean-spirited bastard, but you showed that I was right. I booked the tickets to Jamaica, but I don't think I can go just yet. Sholnn Freeman: I used Randy "Non-Gentile" Kramen: You ain't invited. Mulcahy: You'll have to come visit in Waco since you have tfie most free time of anybody I know. The Editorial Staff: Two-fifths of the diverse editorial board suck. I like the other three-fifths. Which reminds me: A big "you real­ ly need to grow up a little" goes out to Amy Strahan and Dan Camevale. I'm not speaking for eveiyone here — just the people I know. To most of the current news reporters: You're all one entity in my mind. You'll soon be forgotten. Rob Addy: Not even Mike Judge does Butt-Head anymore. I'm sure your real voice is just fine. Come out from behind that mask. We'll love you for who you are. Krissah Williams: I somehow feel that I wasted my little crush on you. And now I'm leaving. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to be in the NABJ even though I'm not very B. Danny "Hamms on a Hard Body" Hayes: Hope you've found a job. Kind of. The next paragraph is for your enjoyment... My fellow classmates from Visual Culture/ Social Interaction: Some of you need to think before you speak from now on. I am truly dumber for having been around you guys. Les Jacobs, Will Radcliffe, Fernan­ do Ortiz, Jr., Chris Gray: Thanks for my second good summer at the news­ paper. I've got your backs anytime, but for God's sake, Les, go to your classes. Carlo: Everybody knows that Oasis is nothing more than a really cheap Beatles knock-off, if that. What else can I say? Oh yeah: Keep the cystem run­ ning smoothly. Sorry for bailing out when I did, but I think it has improved my demeanor. Horoscopes Girl: I can't believe you get paid. Claudia: Your niceness almost bal­ ances out your late stories. I say that with a lot of love and/or hate. Melissa Mason: You're not old enough to deserve a spot in my col­ umn. Here's a tip though: Watch your back. The things some of these guys here want to do with you would get them thrown in jail. [I wrote that before the newsroom scandal.] Tunks: I've never been so impressed as when I heard how easily you wrestled and pinned Dan. Oh, on another topic: is it that you want jail time? Sports Guys: Some of you are crab­ by, and some of you like Colin Quinn's Weekend Update on SNL. Both leave a bad taste in my mouth. Photo Dept.: You're a bunch of secretive bastards. However, I do owe Scott Lawrence some KKK klips, and Kirk Wagner is pretty damn cool. And Matt Hempel is just asking for a good ass kicking. Richard Finnell: I don't know how you put up with any of these jerks at the paper. The student staffers are pretty bad, too. Ha! Ha! Ha! Andres Nieto, mi tutor de español: I now feel comfortable thinking about possibly doing some of my Spanish homework someday when I find the time, thanks to you. Wednesday's are really bad for me. Margarita Oliveras: Simply because I said I would mention you in this col­ umn. Good luck in whatever you do. And come to our party. There: A pub­ lished invitation. You have no excuses, now. Chad Johnson: Luckily, you never turned into a prick like the rest of us. If I could rescue only one staffer from a fire-bombing of the Texan (which oí course will never happen, ahem), it would be Chad. He's got more to live for than the rest of you. Amy Williams: Meeting you led me to Jean which led me to a liver transplant, but at least I've been rela­ tively happy for the last two years. Erin Boone and Holly Siskovic: In my mind Nqjl Diamond will always be singing that song about you guys, not E.T. Atanu Bhattacharya: You are the only Indian-American I've ever liked. Jeannie Squirrel-sovic: You mean more to me than anyone I have met in college. If I could think of some way to permanently attach myself to you, I'm not sure that I would because that would be crazy. But you are the only one who is making it hard for me to leave Austin. And as psychotic as it sounds, I would kill anyone or any­ thing for you (hopefully, these words won't stand up in court if I actually ever have to kill anyone). Brian "Naughtius Maximus" Gaar: You've been there for every phase change over the last 13 years. What's one more? See ya in Wacko. You'll have to puppysit my baby doggie- woggie when I am at work and you're not. A few last words: Greeks suck, cheerleaders suck, the alumni general­ ly sit on their asses and don't cheer at football games so they don't deserve their seats, white people have no right to bitch about affirmative action, and the Texan comics suck, too. That's all I have to say. If I left anyone off, you obviously didn't make much of an impression on me. So long, suckas. Zack McLain worked as a reporter, copy editor makeup editor, associate managing editor, and pimp for The Texan. And he does­ n't think that anything he's ever done has been wrong. FIRING LINE Ironic It seems a bit ludicrous that the U.S. is demanding that Jewish property owners be compensated for their wartime losses, isn't that the same demand that the Palestini­ ans have been making of the Israelis(to no avail)? Jeff Burke UT staff Say what? In his Wednesday submission to Firing Line, Scott Cobb does a dis­ service to anti-death penalty advo­ cates by encouraging Martin Gurule to "keep running." Martin Gurule is a convicted murderer. Whether he should be punished by execution is arguably debatable. Whether he should be punished, according to the state of Texas, is not. Mr. Cobb encourages the anti­ to capital punishment groups "actively support Gurules flight to freedom." I hardly think those opposed to capital punishment would support a convicted mur­ dered going unpunished. It is one thing to believe a defendant was wrongly convicted and therefore should be free; it is quite another to believe a correctly-convicted felon should not be executed. As far as I know, nobody is suggesting Gurule was wrongly convicted. Mr. Cobb also asserts that Gurule "was a murderer, [and now is] a hero." Make no mistake, Mr. Cobb, Martín Gurule is still a murderer. The only question now is whether — or more likely, when — he will kill again. Jennifer Devidow Second-year law student Anger and boots I am trying to calm down a bit before I write this, so that my letter isn't overflowing with name-calling and profanity. This is in response to Scott Cob­ b's inane letter in which he sup­ ports death row inmate Martin Gurule's escape. Mr. Cobb, you obviously have never gone through the pain and bewilderment of hav­ ing a loved one murdered. If you had, then you would never support this killer. Your argument that the state shouldn't have the right to use murder to punish murder could have been made without advocat­ ing his being loose in society. I guarantee you that if Gurule's next victim is someone that you care about, then you will rethink your position. There is nothing to indicate that Gurule won't kill again, so I can only pray that he is captured before another family has to grieve the loss of a loved one. You mentioned that you would be willing to give him money if you had the means to deliver it to him. I have a better idea. Send me the money and I promise that I won't kill anyone. Also, off the subject a bit, whoev­ er took that Aggie's boots, please return them. How far can a college rivalry go? Those boots are obvi­ ously important to him. I am sure that Tase Bailey from our neighbor­ ing school of Texas A&M would accept an anonymous package, and if you don't want to pay the postage, e-mail me, I'll pick them up and send them. Thanks. Shane McMahon Public relatione Junior Martin Gurule. You may be opposed to the death penalty Mr. Cobbs, but condoning and support­ ing the escape of a convicted mur­ derer does not help your cause. Instead, it makes you look like an idiot. To call this animal a "hero" is atrocious. Are you kidding me, Cobb? Do you have posters of Dah- mer and Manson up on your wall too? But we must be fair to the nice murderer. After all, wasn't he fair with his victims? Tell you what Mr. Cobbs, why don't we broadcast your address on television and invite Martin to stay with you and your family for a while. That way, you can really help him out. He could get to know the whole fam. I'm sure he'd welcome the opportu-. nity and be sure to show his thanks. Mr. Martin Gurule, I hope you die a slow and painful .death. I'd like to make a suggestion, if I may, to the Stateof Texas: bring back cor­ poral punishment. Upon catching Mr. Gurule, I think a good 'ol evis­ ceration is in order. We haven't had a good electrocution in a while; I'll bring the marshmallows. John S. Rubin Psychology senior creation — and offering in Jesus Christ a surprising redemption and forgiveness." His political commentary aside, Mr. Villarreal's casual implication that Christ just doesn't fit into the modem world is not only pitifully argued in his column, it is offen­ sive. Personifying Jesus as a mod­ ern-day politician trivializes His position in Christian theology. Christ certainly would not be presi­ dent. For "religious people" every­ where, His power, compassion and justice are much too great for the confines of the Oval Office. Mark Collette Journalism junior Carl, please stop Carl Villereal's column, "Jesus Christ could never be president," from Thursday has got to be one of the most pointless editorials I have read in The Texan. What the hell was the point of it? Does anyone really care whether or not Jesus could be president. I'm a religious person, and I sure don't care. It was just dumb. Mike Beam Physics/astronomy sophomore Are you serious? Scott Cobb's Firing Line has to be the most asinine thing I have heard this year. "Every time a state uses its power to kill, a little bit of civi­ lization dies along with the con­ demned person." Please. Why don't we all just pitch in and give Martin some money so he can escape the punishment that he deserves. Then, even if he kills again, we can feel good about our­ selves because a little bit of civiliza­ tion was saved when Martin wasn't executed. Ian Benoist UT alum He’s still guilty "If I had means of delivering money to him I would do it." These are the words of the complete me ron that is Scott Cobb regarding the escape of convicted murderer He wouldn't want the job Carl Villarreal's column, "Jesus Christ could never be president," missed the point completely. Mr. Villarreal tells us that "fairness and justice are more important values" than Christ-like compassion. He implies that a Christ-led America would result in a "negative peace" because of die absence of true fair­ ness and justice. But a Christian world view does not — or should not — decouple justice from com­ passion at all. Mr. Villarreal, though not a "reli­ gious person," seems to hold the view that the God of the Bible is a nice God, incapable of true justice because of his infinite compassion, because He is all about kindness, happiness, joy, peace and many other good tilings. But as Gene Edward Veith writes in World Mag­ azine, "the Qod of the Bible, in con­ trast, is not nice, but righteous; not tolerant, but holy; not kindly look­ ing down, but invading his sinful Jesus politics It's no surprise that Carl Villar­ real is promoting his radical ideolo- £, but he has stooped to the lowest rel by invoking th e#figure of Christ in an attempt to legitimate his propaganda. His editorial is a shameful exploitation of one of the most revered men in die world. It is pure speculation as to what political issues a 20th century Christ would address much less what stand he would take on them. Believe it or not, there were plenty of divisive social and political issues to concern first century citizens of the Roman Empire, but there were very few which Christ chose to comment on and countless others of which we have no known record of his views. Villarreal's editorial just serves to expose him as the self-righteous hypocrite he claims "so many of our politicians calling themselves Chris­ tians" to be. Katherine S. Sanford Third-year law student Christ transends politics Carl Villarreal has a way of dis­ torting Scripture to support his political agenda. Jesus Christ did not come to Earth to run for presi­ dent, promote a socio-economic agenda, make money, or for politi­ cal purposes. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and King of Kings, not a political candidate. Jesus Christ came to this world for God's "King­ dom Agenda," not Mr. Villarreal's political agenda. The reason Jesus Christ came to Earth was to get nailed to a cross and to take all the sins of everybody past, present, and future and die as a sacrifice for those sins. By dying for our sins, we can have a relation­ ship with God for eternity through Jesus Christ, if we only believe that Christ died for our sins. In John 14:7, Jesus said, "I am the way,the truth and the light. No man comes to the Father but through me." This is the sole reason Christ came to Earth. To spare us from the wrath of God and to give us the opportu­ nity to have a personal relationship with God for eternity. Christ is a great example to us today of how to treat other people and the to show us the church's role (not government's role) in society, but politics is not the reason He came and it's not the reason He's alive today. It's a shame that Mr. Villarreal and others like him 4pn't see this in the Bible but are always quick to take scripture out of con­ text to promote a political or social agenda. Randy A Samuelson Fellowship Of College University Students member Government senior Austin conspiracy I am upset with how the author of the Texas Men's Basketball sec­ tion portrays the highlights of the players. Since last year, you have had nothing good to say about some of the players, especially those who are not from Austin schools. For instance, this year Chris Mihm has done poorly in and making scoring rebounds, but in December 3rd issue of the Daily Texan you praise points him for doing a good job. I am not saying that you should not praise him because he did score and rebound a lot more than in the past couple of games. However, players like Gabriel Muoneke and William Clay have done an outstanding job in scoring points and all-around playing since the beginning of the year, but in The Daily Texan on Thursday, you say Muoneke "con­ tinued his early-season hot-streak" as if to say it is luck that he has this season. Also, done good William Clay who scores more than Mihm gets a blurb about how many points he scored. There are others on the team, not from Austin, who do a great job offensively and defensively like Chico Vazquez and you barely mention his name in the paper. Our UT basketball team is more than just Austinites. Without the other players, our basketball team would be nothing. I wanted The Daily Texan Staff to know how irate others and I felt about the sorry articles over men's basketball. Something needs to change or you will be getting a lot more letters coming your way. L. Keys Economics/pre-law sophomore Editor's Noto: Vazquez is also from Austin and, in fact, Mihm outscored Clay in Wednesday's game, 21-18. Famous Scrabble factory C-L-O-S-E-S down T h e D a il y T e x a n Friday, December 4,1998 Page 5 Am erican hom es. Scrabble sells 1 million to 2 million copies in North America every year and is a 50-year- old favorite guaranteed to turn up under Christmas trees and come out of closets during snowstorms. "Sometimes it was hard to believe th a t w e still had to m ake them ," says Harold Wright Jr., who worked at the factory for eight years. "But the o rder just kept getting bigger every year." In a testament to the game's pop­ ularity, President C linton and his w ife p la y S crabble on v acatio n . When Americans were held hostage in Iran nearly 20 years ego, they made a Scrabble game out of paper to help pass the time. And John D. W illiams Jr., executive director of the N ational Scrabble Association, says he heard that Scrabble aficiona­ dos in Jerusalem played Scrabble in gas masks during the Persian Gulf War. "Scrabble tiles are one of the most icons, A m erican re co g n izab le icons," Yyilliams says. Morris says Hasbro is still consid­ ering contractors both in the United S tates and o v erseas an d h a s n 't decided w here its tiles will come from after Friday. But some folks in Fairfax find it h a rd to b eliev e th a t a co m p an y would close one plant before find­ ing another, and they're convinced the tiles will come from overseas. W hatever the outcome, Scrabble will still be m anufactured, players will still be able to call Hasbro when they lose a letter, and the tiles will co n tin u e to be m ad e of w ood. C hances are, how ever, it will no longer be Vermont hard maple. Milton Bradley Wood Products, w hich occupies a long, low m etal b u ild in g in the m id d le of a pine grove, is the only industry in this town of 2,500 people and a single, blinking caution light. It turns out Scrabble tiles and trays for all Scrab­ ble games sold in the United States and Canada. The plant, which also used to pro­ duce Parcheesi and Jumanji pawns, Jenga and Bottle Topps games and the wooden hotels found in deluxe M onopoly sets, has been m aking only Scrabble trays and navy blue tiles — for the game's 50th anniver­ sary edition — during its final week. Boards made of Vermont maple are first dried in a giant kiln for a week or two. Then they're cut into sticks 21 inches long and less than an inch wide and fed into machines that slice them like brpad into rectangles. The tiles are then form ed into ceramic beads to make them smooth, stamped with a letter and a little foot- note-like num ber denoting its point value, bagged, and shipped to East Longmeadow, Mass., where,the game is assembled. Each game consists of 100 tiles, two of them blank. O ver the years, scrap sa w d u st heated the plant and provided bed­ ding for local dairy cows. Neighbors used to buy scrap w ood for k in ­ dling. Bread baker G erard R ubaud of W estford b o u g h t th e h a rd , dry maple for his wood-fired ovens and paid partially in bread. W hen he heard about the plant's closing, he panicked, he says; reject-Scrabble tiles were perfect for burning. Just 57 em ployees remain at the plant. Thirty nave left since the clos­ ing p la n s w e re a n n o u n c e d la st March, m any of them finding jobs nearby at places like Burton Snow­ boards, Ben & Jerry's ice cream and a company that makes paper plates and Chinese takeout containers. H arold W right Jr., and his wife, Marie, are am ong those still w ork­ ing. The couple m et at M oulder 3, the machine that makes the trays. "I loved my job. I really did," says Lois Hood, who is about to find her­ self job hunting at 61. She has worked at the plant for eight years. It's h a d a fu n n y sid e effect, th o u g h : She c a n 't play S crabble w ithout inspecting the tiles. “ It's automatic," she says. "No m atter w here I w ork," she says, "I'll always check the tiles."

W atson and about 24 religious leaders described how racial prob­ lem s can be solved in the letter, released W ednesday, en titled , "Commitment to Racial Reconcilia­ tion." The letter states that in order to repair the damage done by racism, the white com m unity should not deny that racism currently exists. The text also states that people need to acknowledge the shameful histo­ ry of racism and accept that all races are equal. "This commitment is an under­ taking o f pledged faith fu ln ess which must be. acknowledged pub­ licly and lived out privately," read the statement. The main problem is the 1-35 bar­ rier that divides our city East from West, the letter explained, saying that this segregates Austin's minori­ ty com m u nities, leavin g them ignored and unrecognized. The solution, as stated by Watson and the other leaders, is for people to cultivate personal relationships with members of other races. They must repent and seek forgiveness for racist beliefs before racial recon­ ciliation can be achieved. Brenda Burt, coordinator of the UT Multicultural Information Cen­ ter, said the statement is an excellent step toward relieving racial tension. She added that the only way to get beyond the past is to talk about it. "W e need to talk and move on because we can't keep everything under the hat," Burt said. G enaro Jasso, a b u sin ess and Spanish junior and member of the Hispanic Business Student Associa­ tion, agreed, saying the statement is for the best because it brings the race issue out in the open. "Som etim es people try to hide their feelings and tensions," Jasso said. "If there are racial problems, they should be expressed instead of being kept inside." But Lino Graglia, UT professor of law, said this statement will increase racial tension instead of ameliorating it. "This is a terrible message to say that racism is due to the fact that w hites hate m in orities," Graglia said. "It is absolutely contrary to easing racial problems." He added that some of the most respected and loved people in the country — such as Colin Powell, Michael Jordan and Oprah Winfrey — are African American. Graglia said the white community in this country is more accepting and hope­ ful for minority success than before. "UT is breaking its neck trying to get more minorities into the Univer­ sity," Graglia said. But Jonathan Sprinkles, vice presi­ dent of the Student African Ameri­ can Brotherhood, said the Universi­ ty is not racially diverse because the percentage of black students is low in relation to the black makeup of the state. "UT might be diverse in the way of people liking different types of music and wearing different clothes, but UT is everything but racially diverse," Sprinkles said. He added that the statem ent is good for aw aren ess of racial inequality because there seems to be no middle class for African Ameri­ cans in Austin. "Austin doesn't cater to the needs of the black community," Sprinkles said G loria O rtega, an u n d eclared sophom ore, said the letter from W atson is a good idea, but racial problem s w ill con tin u e w ith or without this statement. "You can't change the way people think and feel," said Ortega. Jeffrey Gregory, an electrical engi­ neering freshm an, said the state­ ment provides great goals, but that such changes are easier said than done. "T h is is an in effectiv e way to reach people because they might not pay attention or take it seriously," Gregory said. Watson has invited more than 30 political and religious leaders to a workshop to discuss racial issues and find solutions this weekend. Graduation at hand Event means achievment of goals, life changes Danielle Cooper Daily Texan Staff Despite a bout with cancer and the challenges of raising a child as a single m other, Laurie Coker has managed to com plete her degree requirements this semester. C oker, a sen io r E n glish and speech teacher at Westwood High School, will be receiving her bache­ lor's degree in English this month, along with about 3,300 other stu­ dents who are graduating from the University. "The degree does not mean any­ thing in terms of my career," Coker said, "but I promised myself that I would reach this goal." Liberal arts advisors said Decem­ ber graduating classes tend to be made up of more non-traditional students like Coker — including those who finish their degrees via correspondence courses and stu­ dents finishing classes in which they have received grades of incom­ plete — than those who graduate in May. Coker dropped out of high school 4n 1976. After receiving her GED, she came to the University in 1982 with the goal of earning her bache­ lors degree in English. Coker had difficulties with the math requirement in the College of Liberal Arts and decided to pursue a degree in education. She received her bachelor's degree — and later her m aster's degree — in special education, but still kept her eyes on her original goal. "I always wanted to get a degree in English," Coker said. A fter com pleting a correspon­ dence course this semester, Coker has now earned enough credits to receive her undergraduate degree in English. "I set the goal that I was going to get this English degree by ten years and not one day later from when I got my first bachelor's degree, and I did it," Coker said.

Ana Benitez, a pharmacy senior, will be also be part of the December graduating class - one of 52 phar­ macy majors who will receive their degrees this month. Pharmacy graduates usually fol­ low the same paths whether they grad u ate in M ay or D ecem ber because they have definite options — w orking as a pharm acist in a hospital pharmacy, a retail pharma­ cy and w orking in hom e health care, said Linda Brown, assistant to the dean in the college of pharmacy. Benitez said she plans to work at a retail pharmacy in Austin or El Paso u n til she goes to m ed ical school in the fall, adding that grad­ uating in December has been bene­ ficial. SOURCE: UT Office of Public Affairs "It's working out pretty well for me because I can earn some money befare I go to medical school," Ben­ itez said. In the College of Communication, Phyllis Akmal, a senior administra­ tive associate for the dean in the col­ lege, said 336 communication stu­ dents are expected to graduate this sem ester. That is Oa higher than average figure because enrollment in the college reached a peak four years ago. About 30 percent fewer commu­ n ication stu d ents grad u ate in December than in May, Akmal said. The College of Education expects 159 students to graduate this semes­ ter. Although they will be entering the teaching job market in the mid­ dle of the school year, an advisor in College of Education said graduat­ ing students typically have success finding employment. Engineering professor receives award for work Ben Kuhnel, chemical engineering freshman, bowls at the Union Underground Thursday afternoon. Robmto Rivtr*/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Jason Hunter Daily Texan Staff An engineering career spanning nearly 50 years has netted UT mechanical engineering professor Frederick Ling an honorary member­ ship from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International. Ling received the aw ard last month for his advances in the field of tribology — the study of the design, friction, wear and lubrication of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Anne Buckley, spokeswoman for ASME International, said Ling is being honored for having excelled and contributed to the goals of the engineering profession. "His efforts have increased engi­ neering knowledge and understand­ ing not only throughout the mechan­ ical engineering profession, but also to the general public at large," Buck­ ley said. Ling currently holds the Earnest F. Gloyna Regents Chair in Engineer­ ing and is associate director of the UT Manufacturing Systems Center. Ling has been involved in engi­ neering teaching and research since the late 1940p, holding positions at such schools as Columbia University and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Insti­ tute in Troy, N.Y. He has also worked for various governm ent agencies, including NASA and the National Science Federation. Ling credits the timing of when he entered the engineering profession for the opportunities he received. His first research project was accept­ ed by the Department of Defense the day after Sputnik was launched by the Soviet Union. "I never had to look for a job," Ling said. "Somebody said, 'here it is, do you want it?"' Members of ASME are nominated by a committee of their peers. Ling said his mentors and the students he has worked with have helped him reach this point. "In my career I have had a lot of mentors and they have pointed me in the right direction to get reward­ ed," Ling said. "Graduate students, my protégés, these are people younger than me who look to me for advice; they make me look better than I am." M. Eugene Merchant, a senior con­ sultant for the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing services, has known Ling since they were colleagues at Rensselaer. He wrote a letter of sup­ port for Ling, saying Ling's teaching and research have m ade him a prominent figure in the profession of mechanical engineering. "H e is one o f the p illars of strength in mechanical engineering and its development over the years," Merchant said. Michael Bryant, graduate adviser to the UT Manufacturing Systems Engineering program, said Ling is hum ble about h is p rofession al accomplishments.

George W. Bush pledged Thursday to work with the L e g isla tu re to m ake silre T exas' program to pay health-care costs for m ore than 100,000 retired public- school employees doesn't go bank­ rupt. Bush said he would "work basical­ ly with the Legislature to make sure that nobody, nobody who is retired" will go without health care. The governor was responding to a legislative committee report that pre­ dicted the Teachers Retirement Sys- tem -C are p ro gram will require a fnajor bailout to remain afloat. Insol­ vency will hit in September 2000 if nothing is done, the report said. ; "The state could pay the initial deficit of $64-plus million, but this w ould only be a tem p orary solu­ tion," the report says. "Due to the increasing number of retirees, the system is projected to need more than $2 billion to be solvent by fis­ cal year 2008." Bush, back from a trip overseas, said the state would not break its promise to retired teachers. "I am confident that we can come up with a solution," he said, TRS-Care was created by lawmak­ ers in 1985 to plug a gap in health­ care co v erag e for retired public- school employees, most of whom are not covered by Medicare. Of Texas' 1,043 school districts, only about 20 contribute to Social Security for em p loyees. W ithout those contributions, retirees are not eligible for Medicare coverage. The funding crisis m ay require drastic action. " F o r the re tire d te a ch e rs ou t there, we have no choice. We have to address it," said H ouse Public Education Chairm an Paul Sadler, co-chair of the special panel. "I was floored," said Sadler, D-Hen- derson. "I had no idea the teachers were not eligible for Social Security." The report says just about every option should b¡e on the table. "Ultimately, the policy issue fac­ ing the state is to offer catastrophic care only or build an affordable sys­ tem of health care with the current systems provided," the committee concluded. But Jam es Simms, ch airm an of the Teach ers R etirem en t System board that oversees TRS-Care, said the crisis is no surprise. "We knew that claims would out­ strip the money over a period of tim e," he said. "L egislators began inquiring about it two years ago, but it was not a high priority because it had some years remaining before the funds were expended." The system now serves 101,853 retirees and 17,252 dependents. The number of participants has tripled since the program was created. Claims also rose, from $62 million in the first full year to $211 million in 1997. Under the current funding setup, the state contributes a half percent of the statewide school district payroll. Full-tim e em ployees contribute a quarter percent of their salaries. Retirees pay premiums based on the type of coverage they choose, ranging from a low -end paym ent for catastrophic coverage to a com­ prehensive plan. Canadian on death row draws national attention access to the courts of law in our state and the United States, I will uphold the laws of our state regardless of the nationality of the person involved," Bush said. ers. Associated Press Gov. George W. Bush said Thurs­ day that all the rights of condemned killers in Texas are respected, but he said foreigners shouldn't expect to get away with murder. With Texas scheduled to execute six convicted killers during Decem­ ber, the case of a Canadian has drawn the attention of that nation and U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Albright asked Bush to grant a 30- day reprieve for Stanley Faulder, who was twice tried and convicted for the 1975 murder of Inez Phillips, matriarch of a wealthy oil family in Gladewater. Bush said he was waiting on the State Board of Pardons and Paroles to make a recommendation. ! "I can understand her concerns and desires," Bush said of Albright's request. "The good news is, in our state people get treated fairly. "People can't just come in our state and cold-blood murder somebody. That's unacceptable behavior, regard­ less of their nationality," the governor said. C anada d oesn 't have the death penalty. Faulder, 61, would be the first Canadian executed in the United States since 1952. He is scheduled to die Dec. 10. State authorities never informed the form er m echanic from Jasper, Alberta, that he had the right to con­ tact Canadian consular officials, vio­ lating the Vienna C onvention on Consular Relations, Albright said in a letter to Bush last week. Texas officials said they did not know Fau ld er w as a C an adian because he was carrying an American state's driver's license when arrested. He w as im prisoned for 15 y ears before the Canadian government and his fam ily, w ho believed he w as dead, learned of his whereabouts. For Bush, this is the third execution in less than a year to attract such widespread attention. In F eb ru ary, the p arole b oard rejected a bid for clem ency from Karla Faye Tucker, w ho adm itted killing two people with a pickax but said she had become a Christian in prison. Bush denied her request for a 30-day reprieve, his only indepen­ dent power in such cases. In June, the parole board recom­ mended — and Bush agreed — to halt the execu tion of H enry Lee Lucas, who once confessed to 600 m u rd ers nationw ide. Lucas, w ho recanted those confessions, remains imprisoned on several other murder convictions. "As you know, first things first," Bush said of his consideration of this latest case. "The process is that the Pardons and P aroles Board m u st decid e whether or not they are going to rec­ ommend execution or commutation. ... I d on't know what their vote is going to be." Speaking generally — not specifi­ cally about Faulder — Bush repeated his belief that a governor's duty is to uphold state law.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Still undecided Bush returns from Mid-East, dodges presidential bid decision Associated Press Just back from a Middle East visit where he met with a president and a prime minister, Gov. George W. Bush said Thursday he remains undecided on whether to try to put "president" in front of his own name. " I haven't decided yet. Now is not the time to decide whether I will or w ill not seek the p resid en cy ," the Republican said. But his hesitancy isn't slowing oth­ Democratic Vice President A1 Gore opened fire Wednesday, questioning whether Bush and other Republicans govern with the "compassionate con­ servatism" they talk about. "Compassion is more than a pretty w ord," Gore said. "T h ere is a long road between rhetoric and results." Bush was low-key in responding at a Thursday news conference, his first public appearance since returning from a trip to Israel. "The vice president is entitled to say anything he wants to say," Bush said, quoting his own spokeswoman's response to Gore. "W hat part does he object to — the conservative part or the compassionate part?" Although Bush insists the time has­ n't arrived to make a decision on run­ ning for president in 2000, his profile continues to rise. He won re-election last month by a huge margin, has bested Gore in some recent opinion polls, was a star at the recent Republican Governor's Associ­ ation meeting and just spent several days in the Middle East. There, he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. < P ^ H A RQ LD S E X C L U S IV E L Y AT T H E A R B O R E T U M M A R K E T .

O riginally, all 16 of the five- man crews — now called Doolit­ tle's Raiders — were scheduled to take off once their aircraft catrier w as ab o u t 400 m iles from th e Japanese coast. The sq u ad ro n s were then to drop 2,000 pounds of bombs over Tokyo. But th ey w ere s p o tte d by a Japanese ship w hen th ey w ere ab o u t 700 to 800 m iles from Japan.

A fter 13 h o u rs in the air, it turned out that most of the planes d id n 't have enough fuel for the extra distance and had to crash- land in China.

UT history professor Michael Stoff said the m ission gave the Americans a huge morale boost, w hile cau sin g the Jap an ese to d rastically a lter th e ir w artim e strategies. "Coming so quickly on the heels of that horrible naval defeat — the w orst in Am erican history — it can be seen as a real shot in the arm," Stoff said. "For the Japanese, this was an incredible loss of face." Although the attack didn't cause a considerable amount of damage to Tokyo, Japan overreacted in an attem pt to counter the American threat, Stoff said, severely hinder­ ing the Japanese war effort. "The daring of it the use of carri­ ers, the ability of the carriers to get so close — that was the key," he said. Jim Lux, a colonel in the Con­ federate Air Force, said the collec­ tion of restored planes and other war m em orabilia will help p re­ serve the memories of the WWII 'veterans and the historical signifi­ cance of their contributions. "M ost of th e airp la n es w ere being destroyed. It was difficult to get parts," Lux said.

Only a year ago, the team's No. 1 ranking in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Poll and i f s No. 2 ranking in the Associated Press Poll would have been sufficient enough to guar­ antee the Wildcats a spot in the national title game. But this, the inaugural season of the Bowl Championship Series, may be the one factor that keeps the pur­ ple and white from participating in the biggest dance of the college foot- BIG 12 FOOTBALL ball season. “I f s real frustrating," Allen said of the BCS (which combines the two polls, strength of schedule, won-loss record and three computer rank­ ings), that controls the fate of the Wildcats. "But we know if we win out something good might happen for us." Unfortunately, destiny's help has seemed to favor any team except Kansas State all year long. Tennessee, the team that currently holds the top spot in the BCS stand­ ings, began the year with just slip­ ping by Syracuse for a win. Ten­ nessee also finally beat arch-rival Florida after the Gators missed a 32- yard field goal attempt in overtime, and the Vols did it despite losing star quarterback Peyton Manning to the NFL. Tennessee was then seemingly provided yet another miracle later in the year when Arkansas quarterback Clint Stoemer fumbled away a sure upset over the Vols. The BCS' second-rated team, UCLA, has also received its share of divine intervention. The Bruins sur­ vived two upset bids by Stanford and Oregon State, yet the team never slipped further than second in the ^CS. Kansas State, in the mean time, has steadily marched through its season without much problem. However, a weak schedule has been enough to leave the Wildcats third in the national title race for m&st of the season. "We don't understand the system and nuances, but we do understand we're not going to have an impact on how that plays out," Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder said. "Our main concern is to do all we can to play well." In order for a trip to the Fiesta Bowl to become a reality, the Wild­ cats can only hope that Mississippi State or Miami can upset Tennessee or UCLA respectively this weekend. But for either of those scenarios to really matter, Kansas State still has to take care of its unfinished busi­ ness with Texas A&M. "We realize that that's the only thing we have any control over," Snyder said of his team's hopes to win its first conference title since 1934 on Saturday. The Big 12 South Division Cham­ pion Aggies head into St. Louis in hopes of redeeming their embarrass­ ing Big 12 Championship showing against Nebraska a year ago (the Huskers won that game 54-15). The Aggies would also like to bounce back from last Friday's 26-24 loss to Texas. "We lost a two-point road game to a team that probably has the Heis- man Trophy winner," Texas A&M head coach R.C. Slocum said. "We're moving forward and looking for­ ward to the challenge ahead of us." BIG 12/Page 10 Horns set for NCAAs Scott Godley Daily Texan Staff How do you describe a prototypi­ cal NCAA volleyball champion from head to toe? Would you set them no shorter than 6-2 with a Jordan-esque vertical to accompany a right arm which carries itself more like a can­ non? Such a depiction sounds reason­ able enough, but yet there is still something missing. Something con­ sidered probably the most essential part to the anatomy of such an ath­ lete, selective amnesia. For the volleyball athletes that possess this quality, it occurs some time between the last regular sea­ son game and first NCAA tourna­ ment bout. It is that uncanny abili­ ty to zone out all the negative aspects from the past three months and salvage all that was good. It is the best hope for survival come tournament time.

That is the way a lot of Texas players would like to look at it. For most teams, finishing the regular season 24-4 while ranked 12th in the polls would be more than enough. However, for coach Jim Moore and his troops that is not the case.

HOOPS/Page 10 Holtz to coach South Carolina, Robinson headed to UNLV The time was right for Lou Holtz. Out of coaching since leaving Notre Dame in 1996, Holtz is leaving his CBS football analyst posi­ tion to take the head job at South Carolina. "Holtz has told CBS Sports he wdl replace Brad Scott as head football coach of the Gamecocks," the network's Internet site, CBS SportsLine reported Thursday. A source close to the university who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed it to The Associated Press. Earlier in the day, one of Holtz's old rivals, John Robinson, got back into football. iTie former two- time Southern California coach became the head coach at UNLV, which went 0-11 this season. Two other head coaching spots were filled Thurs­ day, with Tommy Bowden, who guided Tulane to an 11-0 reqord this year, taking over at Clemson; and Carl Franks, a former assistant to Steve Spurri­ er at Duke and Florida, returning to Duke. In all, seven new head coaches have been picked this week. Also Thursday, coach George O'Leary signed a new contract with Georgia Tech. The deal is a six- year rollover, meaning O'Leary always has six years remaining on the deal unless the school decides against it. South Carolina went 1-10 this year, its worst sea­ son in 106 years of football, and fired coach Brad COACHES/Page 10 Eagles spoil Vermeil's return Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — On a night when Dick Vermeil came back to the Vet, Irving Fryar found his way back to the end zone. Fryar caught his first touchdown pass in nearly a year, a 61-yarder from Koy Detmer in the third quarter as the Philadelphia Eagles beat Vermeil's St. Louis Rams 17-14 Thursday night. It was Vermeil's first game at Veterans Stadium since he last coached the Eagles in 1982. "It was emotional to go out there early and be around and see a lot of people I know," Vermeil said. "... It felt warm. The comments made to me as I came out the tunnel, by fans, and just general people making a real effort to come and say hello." Like Vermeil's old Eagles teams, the Rams didn't quit when Fryar's TD gave Philadelphia (3-10) a 17-6 lead with 7:18 left in the third. Tony Banks hit J.T. Thomas — one of a hodgepodge of receivers carrying the load for injured Isaac Bruce — for 41 yards to the Eagles 10. June Henley scored from the 1, and Banks hit Ricky Proehl for a 2-point conversion that cut it to 17-14 with 11:04 left. After Philadelphia punted, Banks hit Thomas again with a 17-yard completion on third-and-12. But the drive stalled, and Jeff Wilkins' 52-yard field goal attempt was wide left with 4:15 to go. Though most of the fans had left Vet­ erans Stadium, the game still meant something to Vermeil. The 62-year-old coach slapped his clipboard against his legs when the ball fluttered wide. In a final march, Banks hit Thomas for 17 yards to the Philadelphia 35 on a fourth-and-2 play as time expired. Detmer, who had the Eagles' first two TD passes to wide receivers last week in a 24-16 loss at Green Bay, was 17-for-33 for 169 yards and two more TDs. He hit Freddie Solomon for a 7-yard score to make it 7-0 early in the first. Philadelphia's Chris Fontenot (85) escapes the tackle of the Rams' Todd Lyght (41) and Billy Jenkins (22) during first-quarter action. A S S O C IA TED PRESS Twin great Molitor calls it quits after 21 years Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Paul Molitor couldn't bring himself to say the word: retirement. That's what he meant, he just wouldn't say it. Linda Molitor actually was the first to use the precise word, letting it slip out between sips of expensive champagne Thursday long after her husband had announced the end of his 21-year playing career. The word eventually settled on Molitor, though, but he admitted it will take longer to get used to the idea. "When you stop playing is one thing," he said. "When you emotionally let go of the game usually is another dime removed." At 42, Molitor reluctantly put an end to a sparkling career that spanned exactly half his life and left him to be remembered as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. His wife wanted him to play another year. His agent tried to convince him to plav another year. But Molitor decided to take his 3,319 hits — eighth on the career list — and find out what else the game has to offer someone who appears certain of election to the Hall of Fame "My heart tells me I've done what 1 can do on the field and in this game," Molitor said. "I'm happy to leave it playing my last season in a Twins uniform .... Now I'm going to redi­ rect my efforts to find out what else the future holds." One of three St. Paul natives to star in the majors at the same time — Dave Winfield and Jack Morris were the others — Molitor turned down playing offers from Milwaukee and Toronto before deciding to retire.

McCown sustained the injury last Friday during the No. 10 Aggies' 26-24 loss to rival Texas. He had been undergoing treat­ ment, but he felt pain during practice Wednesday in his left, non-throwing shoulder, coach R.C. Slocum said. X-rays later revealed a hairline fracture on his collarbone. The injury means Branndon Stewart, who lost the starting job earlier this season, will take the reins of the struggling A&M offense against the Wildcats. McCown first separated his right shoulder Oct. 31 during A&M's 17-6 victory over Okla­ homa State; Stewart played the following game, a 29-0 victory over Oklahoma. Stewart has made five starts this season. His backups, in no particular order, are punter Shane Lechler, wide receiver Chris Tay­ lor and walkon Ry Marek. Texas battered McCown for six sacks, but Slocum said McCown hurt himself on a touchdown dive late in the game. He aggra­ vated the injury while throwing the ball on Wednesday. Bills owner fined for arguing calls ■ BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson ripped into NFL commissioner Paul Tagli- abue on Thursday for "pompous lectures" and a $50,000 fine for complaints that bad officiating cost his team a game against the New England Patriots. "The commissioner, lecturing to me as if I were a novice instead of one who has been involved in foot­ ball infinitely longer than he has, contends that criticizing a call has 'destructive and corrosive effects on the game,'" the 80-year-old Wil­ son said in a written statement. "What is more destructive and corrosive — errant calls in front of millions of viewers, or my statements of opinion? People all over the country registered shock at the way the officials, however honorable their purpose, took the game away from us. Even the league has admitted to us that the calls near the conclusion of the game were incorrect." The NFL does not comment on disputes involving officiating, but spokesman Greg Aiello said Wilson has not been fined yet. He said Tagliabue sent Wilson a letter on Wednesday saying it was his "intention" to fine the owner $50,000, but that he want­ ed to discuss the matter further. — Compiled from Associated Press reports N D A R fM H H V ■ MEN’S SWIMMING & DIVING: The Longhorns host the Texas Invitational at the Jamail Swim Center at 10 a.m. FNDAY ■ VOLLEYBALL The No. 12 Long­ horns host Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Gregory Gym, time TBA.

The Wildcat offense is led by Heisman-hopeful quar­ terback Michael Bishop, who has thrown 21 touch­ down passes to just three interceptions. He has also rushed for 13 touchdowns, the third-most in the con­ ference. "It's a huge challenge," A&M linebacker Dat Nguyen said. "We just want to showcase our ability and come out on a positive note." The Wildcats may be without starting running back Eric Hickson, who suffered an injury to his leg in the Missouri game. Backup Marlon Charles is also ques­ tionable, so most of the carries may belong to Frank Murphy on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Aggie offense is searching for any­ thing to build upon. Texas A&M, traditionally strong in the ground game, was held to minus seven yards rush­ ing against a Texas defense that had been struggling to stop the run. In fact, their performance was so unsatis­ factory that Aggie tight end Dan Campbell apologized to die defense for the lack of offensive production. up just over 90 yards rushing per contest, a stat that has just recently gone up due to the success of Mis­ souri and Nebraska in running against them. However, it is the same defense that held the nation's top rusher, Ricky Williams, to just 43 yards. And what's worse, the Wildcats may be looking for a blowout win in case UCLA or Tennessee should struggle. "I imagine they'll try to beat us pretty good," A&M quarterback Randy McCown said. "But they7d better not overlook us, because we have a pretty good team." Snyder, meanwhile, says his team is only worried about winning the game. "It's not that we're oblivious to what's going on," Snyder said of all the possible scenarios. "A&M is too good of a team to worry about winning by a particu­ lar margin." Kansas State linebacker Jeff Kelly echoed Snyder's opinion. 0NLY1BUHI SPORTS STJtfTPKU College (2)K-State vs. (10)Texas A& M (1)Tennessee vs. (23)Miss.

Coaches Continued from page 9 Scott on Nov. 23. Holtz spent 11 years at Notre Dame. He won a national champi­ onship with the Irish, and his overall record there there was 100-30-2. Holtz said recently that his wife's health was a primary concern before he would take another job. Beth Holtz is undergoing treatment for throat cancer. In late November, he said: "I feel that God wants me to coach, other­ wise he wouldn't have put the desire in me. I do enjoy coaching at the college level but will not be active until my wife is well." Holtz was an assistant at South Carolina from 1966-67. The 63-year-old Robinson was for­ mally introduced Thursday and took over a team that went 0-11 in 1998. Robinson, fired by USC following the 1997 season, replaces Jeff Hor­ ton, whose team won just four games in the last three seasons and has lost 16 straight. He reportedly will receive $350,000 per season under a three-year contract. "It's ridiculous for us to make some lofty predictions," said Robin­ son, who coached the NFL's Los Angeles Rams for nine years between stints at USC. "But UNLV football will be on the move. We are going to be second to none, and we're going to recruit the best play­ ers possible." The Rebels will begin play next year in the new Mountain West Con­ ference. Bob Stoops, also a Florida assis­ tant, was selected Tuesday at Okla­ homa. On Wednesday, Kirk Ferentz, assistant coach for offense for the NFL Baltimore Ravens, was hired at Iowa; and David Cutcliffe, an assis­ tant at No. 1-ranked Tennessee, took over at Mississippi. Bowden, whose father, Bobby, is longtime head coach at Florida State, replaces Tommy West. He was fired after the Tigers' 3-8 season. "Fifteen years ago, I kind of desig­ nated eight schools that were south of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Mississippi where I would like to retire," Bowden said. "At the top of that list was Clemson University." Because Clemson is in the ACC, Bowden will coach against his father. An assistant will coach Tulane against Brigham Young in the Liber­ ty Bowl Dec. 31. The 38-year-old Franks, who also played at Duke, succeeds Fred Gold­ smith, fired Monday after posting a 17-39 record — including 4-7 mis year. "We have a challenge to put excitement back on the football field, to give people a product that they'll enjoy," said Franks, 1989 graduate of the university with a degree in psy­ chology. "We're going to try to run a wide-open offense that will give our players a chance to be successful. We're going to try to run a defense that has a chance to make some big plays." Volleyball Continued from page 9 the Nov. 21 loss to the Cornhuskers seemed to carry into the last game of the season, where Texas almost lost to a weak Missouri team. Nonetheless, you do not have to tell Texas senior A ll-Am erican Demetria Sanee twice that the sec­ ond and more quintessential sea­ son starts this Friday at Gregory Gym. "This is what counts, right here," Sanee said. "I mean, you can win the national championship without winning the Big 12." Sanee and fellow seniors Katie Austin, LaKisha Bledsoe and Dana Lockwood are the only players that remain from the 1995 squad that made it to the NCAA Champi­ onship finals, only to be ousted by future conference rival Nebraska. A return visit this Decemberjwould be a great end to a fabulous career that has included three All-Ameri­ can honors and a probable forth on the way. "It would be a great send-off pre­ sent," Sanee said. "We're just going to have to buckle down and play hard." Playing hard is an understate­ ment of what Sanee and her team­ mates will need to do these coming weeks if they wish to continue winning. Their Mountain Regional bracket alone includes the N o.l team in the nation, Long Beach State, and last year's NCAA cham­ pion, Stanford. If everything works according to plan, the forecast for next week will include those two teams as Texas' next challenges. The ponghorns experience with Long Beach State is very limited, with the two having met only once before, Texas being on the losing end of that bout.

Eleventh-seeded South Carolina is making their 5th appearance in the NCAAs after going 21-10. The Gamecocks are led by Ashley Edlund who, along with Sanee, is the only current collegian to earn all-conference honors all four years of playing college volleyball. Colorado State, the 6th seed in the Mountain Region, is making its 10th tournament appearance after earn­ ing an at-large bid from the Western Athletic Conference. Colorado State is a young squad that includes only one senior on its roster. "When you get a young team, you usually get two things in this situa­ tion. You get the people who are intimidated or (people) have no clue what's going on and play lights out," Moore said. This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Texas' first and only NCAA championship. Sanee and company hope to bring the title east of California for only the third time in tournament history. However, a far tougher task might be earning the respect they have been so « denied. "Even if we had won the national championship, we still wouldn't get any respect. That's just the way I feel about it," Sanee said. "I don't feel 1 have to prove anything to anyone except for my teammates." ing things that they needed to see both offensively and defensively." The Horns (1-4) could possibly receive another shot in the arm this weekend with the return of senior swingman Kris Clack, who missed the ORU game with a dislocated shoulder. Clack will make the trip to San Diego, but whether or not he plays will probably come down to a game-time decision. If Clack is unable to crack the line­ up against the Toreros (2-2), junior. William Clay will start his second con­ secutive game at shooting, guard, leaving Vazquez at small forward. At Oral Roberts, that smaller lineup helped the Horns jump out to a 13-2 lead, allowing at least one Texas play­ er to breathe a huge sigh of relief. "I don't think I had ever gone that long without winning for as long as I can remember," Vazquez said. "When that game was over, it was like a huge monkey was off our backs." Success against Stanford has not come easily either, as the Long­ horns have been able to muster only five wins in 17 encounters with the Cardinal. This year Stan­ ford comes into the tournament ranked 5th in the polls, its lowest ranking since 1993. However, Moore does not underestimate a program that has won three of the last four national titles. "They're going to be tremendous­ ly experienced," Moore said. "They still nave Kerri Walsh, who is as good as they come." Before any of that transpires, No. 3 seed Texas must survive this weekend's line-up of opening round games which kicks off Friday night against 14th-seeded University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. UW-Mil- waukee (25-5) is making its first tournament appearance after taking the Midwestern Collegiate Confer­ ence title with a record of 11-1. Moore has opted to mix things up with his line-up card for Friday night's game after struggling to beat Missouri the week before. "We were unhappy, and because of that we made some changes," Moore said. "U of Milwaukee is a very feisty, scrappy team." Barring a loss Friday night, Texas will go on to face the winner of the Colorado State/South Carolina match, which will take place Friday Hoops Continued from page 9 "We knew we were getting better, but when we finally- saw things work on the floor, it gave us a lot of extra confidence," Vazquez said of the win, which was the first of Texas' young season. "I think that made us totally buy into what Coach has been saying." Indeed, after dismal efforts against the likes of South Florida and a heart­ breaking last-second loss to Georgia, everything clicked for the Horns against ORU in a contest in which Texas shot 57 percent from the floor and had four different players tally double-digit scoring totals. Barnes' team will look to continue to build momentum this weekend in Southern California when Texas bat­ tles the University of San Diego on Saturday at 9 p.m. Austin time.

Whether his magic touch could save the season remained to be seen. labor Jordan's presence was promising, however, since his agent said he w ouldn't get involved again until discussions got serious. "His understanding was that a new proposal was going to be made" by the owners, agent David Falk said, "and he wanted to be there to listen to it. You can read into it that he's contin­ uing to be involved and supportive of the union leadership." During the first few hours of one of the longest sessions yet, commis­ sioner David Stem made another plea to save the season. Also, according to a player who was in the meeting, Madison Square Garden president David Checketts sparred with union lawyers, and Jor­ dan did not get as involved as he did when he attended Oct. 28. No new formal proposals were put forward as the sides mostly cov­ ered old ground. Still, they kept talk­ ing past 11 p.m. EST, making it their longest session yet of the five-month lockout. Jordan left early in the evening, and returned about three hours later to the glee of a small crowd gathered outside a hotel across from NBA headquarters. Just a few hours earlier, strangely enough, hardly anyone noticed when one of the greatest peacemak­ ers in American history — former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger — walked across the very same stretch of sidewalk. Trying to end the dispute that threatens to wipe out the entire sea­ son, the sides spent the first two hours merely "feeling each other out," Stem said, then went back to work after a lunch break. The bar­ gaining session was the first in 13 days with both full negotiating com­ mittees in attendance. If the owners and players can't come up with a solution in the next few weeks, the entire 1998-99 season likely will be canceled. Jordan's arrival marked the first time he had joined the. talks since Oct. 28, when he spent about 8^ hours at the bargaining table and tried to help broker a deal. The sides met one other time since then, on Nov. 20, and called it their most productive session to date. But things quickly unraveled. Pressure for a settlem ent and panic over the fate of the season increased in recent days,( with for­ mer union president Isiah Thomas suggesting that Billy Hunter and Patrick Ewing be replaced as the union's lead negotiators. "The one message I know he [Jor­ dan] is delivering emphatically is that people like Isiah can sit on the side­ lines and criticize, but when you are in the game it's harder," Falk said. The first order of major business was to decide whether to continue negotiating under the framework that the sides had discussed in two previous sessions — a six- or seven- year agreement with a complicated "escrow tax" system in the final three or four years. The proposals put on the table Nov. 20 would include playeré hav­ ing 10 or 15 percent of their pay­ checks withheld if spending on overall player salaries exceeded a targeted percentage of revenues. The owners have asked for a 50-50 split, while the players have tied many of their concessions to receiv­ ing 60 percent. The owners moved to 53 percent on Nov. 20 and the players dropped to 57 percent, but those concessions became void under the ground rules that have been set for the new talks. That is, everything discussed at the Nov. 20 meeting is disregarded. "This lockout w on't end until the owners get as much as they can out of the players," Alonzo Mourning of the Miami Heat said as he arrived for the renewed talks. "It comes down to greed on their part." "I think we've given up way more than enough and we've compro­ mised way more than enough. It's time for us to dig our heels into ihe ground and make a stand. It's time for them to try to meet us halfway, and I don't think they've done that at all," Mourning said. Former Northwestern football players indicted in school gambling scandal Associated Press star CHICAGO — Four former North­ western University football players, including tailback Dennis Lundy, were indicted Thursday on charges of lying to federal grand juries investigating sports betting at the school. Lundy, Christopher Gamble, Michael Senters and Gregory Gill were charged with perjury for lying about their relationship with student bookie Brian Ballarini. "These four defendants fumbled their opportunity to participate in intercollegiate athletics and to main­ tain the integrity of athletic competi­ tion," U.S. Attorney Scott Lassar told a news conference. "Then they fumbled again and again when they had the opportuni­ ty to come clean and testify truthful­ ly before the grand jury," Lassar said. Lundy, Gamble and Senters are accused of lying about bets they allegedly placed on Northwestern's 1994 game against Ohio State. Prose­ cutors did not specify which games Gill was accused of betting on. Lundy also was accused of lying when he denied that he deliberately fumbled in the 1994 game against Iowa to make certain the team failed to cover the point spread. Prosecu­ tors said Lundy had bet on that game and on the Wildcats' game that season against Notre Dame. Northwestern coach Gary Barnett said he was shocked by the accusa­ tions. "It is a sad day when a football coach has to stand up in a press con­ ference and comment on student- athletes who played for him and were charged with breaking the law," Barnett said. "I had always believed in these individuals' com­ mitment to our team, both on and off the field." Athletic Director Rick Taylor said that if the allegations are true, "those involved will have betrayed the very fabric of sport." All four defendants will be sum­ moned to appear for an arraign­ ment, prosecutors said. If convicted, each perjury court carries a maxi­ mum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Lundy and Sen­ ters are charged with one count; Gamble and Gill are charged with two. Lundy's alleged deliberate fumble came m idway through the third quarter of the Iowa game. North­ western was inside the 1-yard line with a chance to cut into Iowa's 35- 13 lead when Lundy fumbled a handoff from quarterback Steve Schnur. A teammate, defensive Rodney Ray, knew Lundy had a gambling habit and complained openly that Lundy fumbled intentionally.. A coach overheard Ray's accusation and an internal investigation was launched. The findings were turned over to federal authorities who began the investigation of possible point-shaving by Northwestern players. Prosecutors said the betting took place in the 1993 and 1994 seasons, and that the players lied before grand juries investigating the gam ­ bling scandal at the Big Ten school in 1995 and 1997. Both Lundy and Sen­ ters have since gone on to play pro ball. Ballarini, a former Northwestern football player, pleaded guilty in August to gambling charges and admitted he had run sports betting operations at Northwestern and the University of Colorado. He was the fifth person to plead guilty in the federal investigation of Northwest­ ern sports betting. Others were former Notre Dame place-kicker Kevin Pendergast, Brian Irving of San Francisco and former NU basketball players Dion Lee and Dewey Williams, who admitted they tried to fix games in 1995. The embarrassing episode for the prestigious university is expected to be finished with the indictments of Lundy, 26, of Tampa, Fla.; Gamble, 26, of Marietta, Ga.; Senters, 26, of Dallas; and Gill, 27, of Pittsburgh. "This should conclude the investi­ gation," said Larry Collins, special agent in charge of the FBI's Chicago office. T he D aily T exan Friday, December 4,1998 Page 11 Rangers, Astros primed to make pitch at Clemens Associated Press HOUSTON — The Roger Clemens' bidding was still in the early stages Thursday. "It's too early to say where this will go," Rangers' general m anager Doug Melvin said, echoing the thoughts of several GMs. Clemens, saying he wants to play for a winner or closer to his Houston home, asked Wednes­ day for the Toronto Blue Jays to trade him, and the team said it will try to comply w ith his request within 10 days. "We'll explore it," Cleveland Indians GM John Hart said at an ow ners' meeting in Chicago. "Whether we'll do anything, I don't know. But we'll explore it." The New York Yankees, Hous­ ton Astros and Texas Rangers are thought to be the top — and perhaps only — contenders to get the only five-time Cy Young Award winner. While the Indi­ ans are interested in Clemens, it's not clear whether Clemens is interested in Cleveland. "W eil continue to talk with them and try to find out the kind of players they're looking for," Melvin said. "I'd heard it was coming so it wasn't a complete surprise." Clemens, a former University of Texas star, has two years remaining in his four-year con­ tract with the Blue Jays. He is signed for 1999 at $5 million and 2000 at $6.35 million, but also is owed $5 million in deferred pay­ ments from the past two seasons. Clemens isn't talking about his demand, letting agent Randy Hendricks speak for him. When he signed with the Blue Jays in December 1996, the team agreed they would trade him if he ever became convinced Toronto wouldn't contend. "We recognize they would have a decent team," Hendricks said. "The reality is, they're not prepared to add players and contend at the highest level." The Yankees tried to sign Clemens two years ago and held trade talks with the Blue Jays last July. New York general man­ ager Brian Cashman said he will discuss Clemens with ow ner George Steinbrenner. Steinbrenner likes Clemens, and coveted the pitcher when he was a free agent two years ago. The Yankees also have the talent to fill Toronto's needs. inquired "We haven't talked about it internally," Cashm an said. "We'll be talking about it and certainly will let Toronto know our position." Houston about Clemens before the July 31 trad­ ing deadline but Astros' owner Drayton McLane decided the price was too high. Toronto is believed to have asked for out­ fielder Richard Hidalgo and pitcher Scott Elarton. "I'm always interested in any­ thing that will improve the ball- club and I'm willing to sit down and talk," Astros' general man­ ager Gerry Hunsicker said. Astros' second baseman Craig Biggio and third baseman Bill Spiers, both in New York for a charity bowling event, w ere excited about the possibility of playing with Clemens. "I know where he's from. I know where I play. And I know where I'd like to see him play," Spiers said. "Bigg and I have been talking about it." "There's only a handful of pitchers like him," Biggio said. "I guess it comes down to what you'd have to give up to get him." Clemens was 20-6 with a 2.65 ERA and 271 strikeouts in 234 2- 3 innings this year, winning his second straight Cy Young. After •his 5-6 start, he finished with 15 consecutive winning decisions. "It's no secret what he brings to the table, with his track record, personality, leadership," Melvin said. "I think people know what he can do." Toronto was 88-74 last season, finishing four games behind Boston in the wild-card race. But the Blue Jays plan to have a pay­ roll of $40 million to $43 million next year, making them a long- shot in the AL East. CHRISTMAS BARGAINS! 4-Ft.

This year, with the millennium approaching and people tak­ ing a nostalgic look at times gone by, there is a renewed interest in elegant, classic-smelling fra­ grances such as Fracas and Acqua di Parma-mak- ing the trendy, unisex fragrances of the nineties seem dated. From this rediscovery of classic, traditional scents, a new trend has also emerged-that of the "historical fragrance." The newest entry in this category comes from international style arbiter of and humanitarian Princess Elizabeth Yugoslavia, who, as an exiled princess, has an extremely powerful sense of her own history. The Princess had such fond memories of her grand­ mother, the Grand Duchess Helen of Russia and the distinctive perfume she wore-a perfume creat­ ed especially for the Grand Duchess-that she recre­ ated it in E, her own signature fragrance. "The essences I used in E, such as jasmine, vanilla, yel­ low mandarin and myrrh, are extremely sensual. They instantly transport me to another time and place in my history." According to the Princess, Cleopatra seduced Marc Antony with the scent of jasmine. It has also been said that Queen Ester seduced the king of Persia with the scent of myrrh. Whether or not such stories are true, it is a fact that our senses are so susceptible to stimuli such as fragrance that it is not necessary to be a queen to feel like royalty. "Fragrance is so evocative," says the Princess. "Nothing can elicit a certain emotion or memory the way smell can. The scent of a traditional, sophisticated fragrance can make a woman feel like she is experiencing the kind of elegance and luxury she imagines of days gone by. The sense of being a part of a romanticized history is very grat­ ifying, especially now, at such an epic moment in time. Women will always be drawn to classic scents-timelessness is seductive." Princess Elizabeth's E is available by call­ ing QVC at 1-800-345-1515. To complement her fragrance, Princess Eliza­ beth is introducing a line of vitamin-enriched bath and body products including a body wash, body mousse and body lotion. The scent of a traditional, sophisti­ cated fragrance can make a woman feel like she is experiencing the kind of elegance and luxury she imagines of days gone by. The sense of being a part of a romanticized history is very gratifying.

Traditional folk art makes nostalgic, collectable gift Art offers unique alternative this season More than any other time of the year, Christmas is a time for remembrance and nostalgia. And this year, that old-fashioned feel­ ing is getting an extra boost through one of the season's most sought- after gift trends-American folk art. The traditional art form is appear­ ing-everywhere this season from gift sets to ornaments and holiday wares. One retailer, Bath & Body Works, has gone so far as to commis­ sion four American folk artists to create original works for plates, mugs, collectibles and gift-wrappings-all inspired by the American heartland. Among the artists featured in tfie collection is Grandma Beatty, a 79-year-old painter from Worthington, Ohio. Although she has no formal training, Grandma Beatty is gaining increasing recognition for her paintings, done in traditional formats, as well as postage stamp-sized miniatures and paintings on glass. Why the big resurgence of folk art this Christmas? According to Bath & Body Works, as the turn of the century approaches, Ameri­ cans are increasingly looking to recapture simpler times by sur­ rounding themselves with symbols of our past and by creating that perfect, traditional Christmas feel. As the turn of the century approaches, Americans are increasingly looking to recapture simpler times by surrounding themselves with symbols of our past. _____ 5 a «3 I 3 *** I Si. $ © 5Si Si c & a- I e/>cn Pop into Dobie Mall for that quick lunch-hour shopping excursion.

I I*a ts £ Mail-order gifts make shopping hassle-free A list of top gift “eye”deas Catalog ordering offers shoppers the best of both worlds-the variety of a department store without the hassles. When you shop in the comfort of your, own home, there is no need to venture out into the cold or worry about parking and mall crowds. An order can be placed 24 hours a day and delivered right to your door. Many consumers have already discovered the joy of catalog shopping. In 1997, catalog sales brought in an estimated $48.3 billion. Catalogs, such as Fingerhut's Holiday Wish List catalog, offer an array of creative gift ideas. The Holiday Wish List includes brand-name and private-label merchandise from toys to elec­ tronics, clothing to bedroom linens, kitchen to bathroom accessories. Special promotions such as "buy one, get one free" or "buy and save" offers provide additional value for catalog shoppers. Fingerhut customers can find affordably priced products and choose flexible and conve­ nient payment plans. Plus, if the merchandise does not live up to expectations, it will be replaced or the customer will be reimbursed. To recognize the value of customers, the company awards shoppers with free gifts, sweepstakes and other promotions. This emphasis on customer service has kept shop­ pers coming back to Fingerhut for nearly 50 years. Some suggestions for enhancing your cat­ alog-shopping experience are: • • Order by phone. It is perhaps the most convenient way to shop. Orders are processed more quickly and accurately, guaranteeing a more timely delivery. • Have all information available, including page numbers, sizes, colors and personalization, if required. • Keep the catalog until you have received and are satisfied with your merchandise. • Take advantage of offers that promote multiple companion products (bedroom, bath­ room and kitchen ensembles or stereo, video or exercise kits). • If you do order by mail, make sure the name and address on the order blank are correct and legible. A daytime phone number helps ensure prompt delivery. To place an order or to receive a Fingerhut catalog, call toll-free 1-800-233-3588. Have an eye for great gifts? Institute The Better Vision (BVI) has ideas for eyes of all ages. "Eighty percent of learning is visual," says Dr. Daniel Bintz, optometrist and member of the BVI Advisory Council. "By using toys and other fun things to develop their visual systems, children can also develop the skills they'll need for life." • Give infants crib mobiles and hats with brims to protect little eyes from harmful UV rays. • Children can use domi­ nos and board games to help their visual discrimination. • Teenagers and adults can use UV protection sun­ glasses, sports goggles, com­ puter screen filters, eye masks and eye gel. • Treat older adults to an attractive pair of reading glass­ es that help them see better and look good. To select glasses that fit best with face shape and col­ oring, ask an eye care profes­ sional about the Envision Your­ self® program. SUPERCUTS SUPERCUTS SUPERCUTS Void with other offers.

The Skip Barber Racing School serves two audiences: people who want to embark on racing careers (either professionally or as an avocation) as well as those who simply have a strong interest in racing and want to see what if s really like to drive a race car. You can choose between the affordable half-day "intro" course or the full- fledged three-day school. In either case the only prerequisite is the ability to use a manual trans­ mission. The Dodge/Skip Barber Driving School is designed for anyone whose interest is better, safer and more proficient street driving. As the leading enthusiast as well as for anyone who wants to The holidays summon our finest efforts when it comes to prepar­ ing sumptuous meals and presenting ina sensational way. Two experts in creating a memorable table are tableware design­ er Lynn Chase and renowned chef Larry Forgione. Chase tops some of America's finest tables with her beautiful fine china. Forgione is better known for filling plates. As chef at his three-star restaurant in New York, An American Place, and recently opened, The Grill Room, he helped transform American cooking by championing the fresh wholesome flavor of local produce. Here's one of Forgione's recipes for scintillating holiday success. Racing school/Page 8 Roast pheasant with dried cranberries servea.4 2 2 to 3-pound pheasants, livers and giblets discarded About 2 Tbsp. olive oil Salt and freshly ground pepper h carrot, peeled and chopped V2 onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, sliced 1^2 cups dark poutlry stock (or chicken stock) 1 Tbsp. cornstarch 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature % cups dried cranberries Preheat the oven to 400 degrees farenheit. Remove the wings and necks from the pheasants and chop into pieces. Spread the pieces in a lightly oiled roasting pan. Rub the pheasants with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set the pheasants breast side up on top of the chopped wings and necks, and roast for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees farenheit. Add the carrot, onion and garlic to the pan and continue to roast, basting the pheasants with the pan juices, for 35 to 40 minutes, until the juices run clear when the thighs are pierced with a fork. Let the pheasants rest in die roasting pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Pour off any oil from the roasting pan, add the stock to the pan, stir to deglaze, scraping up any any browned particles sticking to the bottom. Pour the contents of the pan into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, skimming off any fat or foam from the surface.

These can be saved and trea­ sured for years to come. Arrange family snapshots on a sheet of white paper and glue them to paper. Take the paper to a printer and have it enlarged to use as gift wrap. Or try painting your own design on plain brown or white paper. " * If it seems to take three hands to wrap a gift—one to hold the package, one to hold the tape dispenser and one to tear off the tape— try the new Scotch pop-up tape strip dispenser. This hand- band dispenser can be worn on the fingers, back of the hand or wrist and delivers two-inch pre-cut pieces of tape right to the fin­ gers. As each strip is removed, the next strip pops up automatical­ ly, ready for use. With quick, easy and convenient one-handed dis­ pensing, you can wrip a huge pile of holiday gifts in a snap. It also means you never have to stick pieces of tape on table edges for easy access. Recycle creatively when wrapping gifts. Use old newspaper, colorful magazine pages, even scraps of cloth to bundle up your presents. Surprising ribbons, such as twine or plastic wrap, also adds imagination to your package. olidays SUCK!” Conveniently located just TWO blocks SOUTH of MLK, Jr. Blvd. Visit Our Infosite: www.austin.citysearch.com WHOLE BEAN COFFEE A TEA wrumiw iBaprv»—oATteaHar /UaedBoofta/GUft* OtodSflM» 4k Xtect by the JPound /JFTnemf* TTTii mrpcnn Chócala Study Lrea JL iisre M udc Tue* A mon wed thur» mum.t 7a til 8p tuea A/Hday 7a til I Ip mwMJt* 8a til 51 S e a r c / i f f n i» a lt e 0 c l M .OO BottoirUemm C o / f e e w/XJniTrenm ity I* T n iire n a A ty It f f y d e J P t e r lc U f a r l r e t 4 1 O I G u a d a l u p e Ik? • If you don't know the cor­ rect ZIP code, call 1-800-ASK- USPS day or night. • Do not use colored inks on red or green envelopes. our Northwest Store at 13945 ffuy 183 N and Hwy 828, In the Northfork Shopping Center ¿SI S T R A I T f e . ^ M U S I C IIW •I C O M P A N Y H r Shop Today For The Best Selection & Price V isit either o f our locations, now stocked with our largest selection of holiday m erchandise ever.

Austin shops online by Michelle Ngo Shopping for the holidays can be a stressful event for*some people. You have to find some time during business hours to go shopping, find a place to park, fight mall crowds, let alone find the perfect gift for someone. As a student, holiday shop­ ping may be even harder because students also have to worry about finals, term papers, and work. Today, there is a new outlet for shopping - the web. Shopping on the web has never been easier. Many differ­ ent stores like the Gap, Land's End, and Barnes and Nobles now have Internet stores in which people can literally look through and buy the perfect gift. You can even buy books from Amazon.com, toys at etoys.com, or CD's at cd-now.com. Some of these gifts you buy would even be sent to you. In fact, the prices are not that much different from the prices you would pay if you went to a store and bought an item. wim t v Holiday cuisine______________________ Continued from page 6 Combine the cornstarch to make a paste.
