He will speak on campus Thursday at a W est Mall forum at noon and in R oom 3.122 o f the University Teaching Center at 7 p.m. On Wednesday, Feld outlined the allegations of human rights and envi­ ronmental abuses at Freeport's mine in Indonesia, local and global aspects of the company's operations and land rights for the indigenous people of Irian Jaya, where the mine is located. "T h e A m u ngm e peop le [in Indonesia], in return for the use of their land, clinics were built, hospitals and school facilities," Feld said. "But they had no idea their sacred moun­ tain would be brought down to a big hole in the ground." But Bill C o llier, sp o k esm an for Freeport, said the company has spent millions of dollars in social programs in exchange for rights to the gold, sil­ ver and copper mine, estimated to be worth $50 billion. He said Freeport came to an agree­ m ent with the Indonesian govern­ ment and the local people regarding the land rights.

In a reply to Feld's resigna tion, UT Sy stem C h a n cello r W illiam Cunningham, a member of Freeport's board of directors, said Feld should visit the mine. "I hope that you will decide to visit Irian Jaya, as I believe your views would differ dramatically from those you have expressed," Cunningham said in a letter to Feld dated Sept. 12. But Feld said Wednesday the mine is off limits to reporters, and even if he could get into the mine, his visit w ould be "ch o re o g ra p h ed by Freeport." Feld also quoted an Oct. 2 article in K om pas, a d aily n ew sp ap er of Indonesia's capital Jakarta, stating that the N ational C om m ission for Human Rights in the country "has not yet carried out a thorough investiga­ tion o f the in v o lv em e n t o f PT Freeport [a Freeport-McMoRan sub­ sidiary] in the violation of hum an rights in Timika."

UT professors expect statehood anniversary to go uncelebrated HEATH SHELBY_________ baity Texan Staff ~ “ ” ~ As state officials prepare to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Texas' entrance into the Union, some UT professors are wondering whether Texans will show up for the party. On D eo 29, 1845, Texas was formally admitted into the Union, ending a long congres- sional debate over whether the United States should annex new slave territory. The state's annexation agree­ ment was consummated on Feb. 19, Í846, the date on which the last President of the Republic of Texas, Anson Jones, formally proclaimed Texas' statehood to citiz^is. Yif while throngs of Texans flodbd under the Lone Star state flag for the 1986 Texas sesquicen­ tennial, which celebrated inde­ pendence from Mexico, several UT piofossprg say that few peo- pic are aware of the upcoming commemoration. of Texas' entrance into the union.

But Forgie said he doubts whether the average elementary school student could define the word sesquicentennial today, and other professors also ques­ tion public awareness of that December 1845 day on which Texans first began calling them­ selves Americans. Norman Brown, also a profes­ sor of history, said, "The public at-large is probably unaware that this is the sesquicentennial of statehood." Brown added that several state newspapers mentioned the upcoming anniversary in June after a commemorative stamp was issued across the state. But he said he could not "recall see­ ing anything since then" in the news media concerning the event. A major reason for the lack of awareness might be Texas' dis­ tinctive status among the other 49 states as the only state to have been its own sovereign republic. "The essence of what it means to be Texan has to do with Texas' distinctive status,* Forgie said.

Clinton dispatched Leon Panetta, his chief of staff, to the C apitol to brief House and Senate Democrats about the package, which the admin­ istration plans to present to Republicans when budget talks resume Thursday. Com pared w ith a proposal C linton m ade in June, the new plan will have deeper cuts in wel­ fare and many domestic programs and addition­ al limits on business tax breaks It will call for the same savings of $124 billion from Medicare and $54 billion from Medicaid that he had sought ear­ lier, but it was unclear what changes would be made in the $98 billion tax cut for families he had proposed. The new proposal was a concession to GOP demands that the president propose a detailed, seven-year package, rather than w orking with the broad-brush, 10-year outline he unveiled six months ago. Republicans had mixed reactions. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., said he w anted to see if C lin to n 's proposal w ill be w armed o v e r" or " a step toward a balanced budget in the next seven years." And House Budget Committee Chairman John Kasich, R-Ohio, w arned, "T h ey 'd better lower the rhetoric if they want to get this done." Democratic support for the measure was spot ty. The plan, drafted chiefly by adm inistration officials, left some Democrats skeptical about the size o f its tax cuts and its savings in M edicare and Medicaid. "T h e r e is still w id esp read sen tim e n t here among congressional Democrats across the poh* ical spectrum that you don't start to balance tht budget with a tax cu t," said Rep. Martin Sabo, D- Minn., a Dem ocratic negotiator at the talks. " A tax cut should come after w e've dealt with the fiscal problem." Sen .

"We're not going to have a parade with tanks going down Congress Avenue," Johnson added, though he said the event will receive its due recognition by the state Legislature. As of this week, no formal state celebration has been planned for Dec. 29, although Johnson said the state has encouraged communities to hold their own celebrations.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Researchers identify HIV suppressing agents Associated Press N EW YORK — A fte r a lo n g s e a rc h , researchers have discovered AIDS-virus sup­ pressors, w hich the body produces naturally, possibly opening the door to new treatments.

O ne id e n tifie d th re e su b ­ stances that dram atically reduce HTV's abili­ ty to infect cells in test tubes. The second team found that an unrelated protein from CD8 cells restrains the virus' reproduction in test tube experim ents. Scientists hope to find a w ay to use the substances to control the bo dy's HIV levels for long periods, m aybe indefinitely, p ro ­ longing the years that infected people can stay healthy. A lth o u g h H IV -infected peop le p ro d u ce an ti-v iral CD8 secretion s n a tu ra lly , p rio r research show s that the levels decline as the im m une system deteriorates.

The substan ces h ad been kno w n before for doing other jobs. Dr. Reinhard Kurth, president of the Paul Ehrlich Institute in Langen, G erm any, and his colleagues rep o rt that a p ro tein called interleukin-16 sharply reduced HIV replica­ tion in test tubes.

If no new virus is made, the body's level of HIV will fall, g iving the im m une system a better chance to keep it u nd er con­ trol, he said. But the virus w ould probably still not be elim inated, he said. Kurth said interleukin-16 will have to be tested in anim als not onlv for its usefulness but also for side effects. High doses of other interleukins are know n to cause fever, diar­ rhea an d o th er problem s, he noted. C om ­ bining IL-16 w ith other d rugs m ight reduce the dose of each required and dim inish the side effects from each, he said.

They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. VIEWPOINT s i )eecI lirnit 1law Speed kills. That's not an opinion — it's a fact. Last year more than 1,400 people died on Texas roadways. They were fathers, moth­ ers, daughters, sons and friends. Half of these deaths were attrib­ uted to excessive speed. In more than 90 percent of those wrecks, speed was at least a contributing factor. With the repeal of federal speed limits, Texas and other states face the question of whether to raise their own limits. For Texas, the answer should be easy: don't do it. Common sense argues against it. Indeed, 60 percent of Texas' 12.4 million licensed drivers live and drive in the heavily congested metropolitan areas of San Antonio, Dal­ las and Houston. And these areas already have a reputation for being overrun with speed demons. Federal highway engineers say Hous­ ton's traffic is perhaps the fastest in the nation. In its recent crackdown against speeding, the Texas Highway Patrol has clocked nearly 500 Austinites driving 81-100 mph in 55 mph zones. On one stretch of 1-35, the average speed was 87 mph. If the speed limit in urban areas were raised to 65 mph, as a couple of uninformed state legislators have suggested, speeds would become even deadlier. Robert Holt, state commissioner of public safety, esti­ mates that an additional 140 people would die each year in Texas if the speed limit were raised. Holt and David Laney, chairman of the Texas Transportation Com­ mission, have both urged Gov. George Bush to leave the state's speed limit as it is: 55 mph on urban expressways and 65 mph on rural high­ ways. The governor would be wise to take their advice. As a mobile society', we have become inured to the devastation of traffic wrecks. In our haste to get from here to there, too many would sacrifice public safety for some false sense of independence. But Texas' speed limits, originally set to conserve energy, have proven to be a life- saver. It would be foolish to raise them. — Jason Kraus mg a gap Some nations have lots of folks mired in poverty while a tiny elite enjoys wealth and power. In such societies, which tend to be authoritarian, the gap between haves and have-nots is often wide and hard to bridge. By contrast, in most democratic societies, a large middle class has a major stake in social stability and econom ic progress. A gap may per­ sist between haves and have-nots, but at least those born into poverty may still harbor hopes of upward mobility to economic success. All seems right? Wrong. Now comes a disquieting report from Rand, a W ashington-based think tank. It suggests that in the United States — long viewed as a quintessentially middle-class society of egalitarian ideals buttressed by free public education and a vigorous free press — a growing gap now separates haves from the have-nots. Moreover, the gap that Rand cites may be dauntingly hard to bridge. It's not defined by income or net worth, as in the past, but by access to the information that so often translates into wealth and power. So instead of redistributing wealth, the egalitarian's concern must be broader access to information. Rand's report focuses on computers and e-mail. The report notes, for instance, that 6.7 million users have e-mail addresses, a number growing rapidly. The report also recommends that access to e-mail ought to become universal. Otherwise, the United States may well face a future marked by "inform ation apartheid" in which the gap between the haves and have-nots widens. Clearly, that would exacerbate a trend already observed in other information media. Consider TV, for instance; much of the better infor­ mational programming is found on cable channels such as C-SPAN, Discovery, the Learning Channel, Bravo, ESPN and A&E. Yet cable's pricing puts it beyond the means of many families living in poverty. Meanwhile, Rand's goal of "universal e-mail access" may be no more practical than piping milk into every home because "it does a body good." Moveover, "w iring" the uninitiated without also offering guidance is like admitting neophytes to a U-pick-'em fungi field without first offering them help in differentiating between edible mushrooms and poisonous toadstools. With no substitutes yet in sight for raw information's traditional "gate keepers" — teachers, clergy, editors, philosophers, even TV pro­ gramming executives — an aimless foraging among the factoids may yield as much bogus information as truth. But sadly, that w on't turn a single have-not into a have. —Jason Kraus EDITORIALS AFTER PRFS5URE FROM ^)TUDEKJT5AN’D f a c u l t y , U f WAVE t>ECTDED T O Gx V e LEA£> TE6TS TO T \l£ f e k ; s t u d e n t s WHO M A Y HAVE E X bC 6E D .

First, real advertising already exists on the 'Net. As anyone who has ever used InfoSeek in the m ajor search N etscape already knows, engines subsist by selling advertising space to national companies. The ads rotate every few moments, and rarely will the user who completes one search and begins another, find the same ad. If a lawyer or a law firm bought time on a search engine, then the State Bar's rules on advertising would properly apply. For anything less, the Bar has to stretch. Second, the com m ittee's decision is unenforce­ able. Its interim rules require all attorney web pages to be pre-approved by the committee. Yet the members of the committee are themselves practicing attorneys, and they meet only infre­ quently. that very few Committee Chairman Richard Hile of Austin recently com plained law yers presently bother to pre-file their ads with the committee. If the committee cannot compel the 60,000 lawyers licensed by the State of Texas to file their Yellow Pages ads, firm brochures, and newspaper, radio and television ads, how can they realistically expect lawyers to pre-file their web pages? they make a Also, the interim rules require lawyers to file updates w henever "m aterial change" to their web site. As anyone who knows Hyper Text Markup Language — the code that creates web pages — knows, web sites can be changed easily, and as anyone who regularly surfs the net knows, web sites change all the time. The members of the committee lack the time, the knowhow, the patience, the budget and the staff to continually surf attorney web sites, com­ paring them to older versions and searching for violations. While comparatively few practitioners current­ ly have presences on the Web, more are getting online all the time. In fact, West Publishing Com ­ pany, which publishes a print and electronic ver­ sion of its Lawyers' Directory, plans to offer indi­ vidual web sites to subscribers in the very near future. What will the Advertising Review Committee do then when practically all the lawyers in Texas establish sites on the World Wide Web? Third, the extension of the advertising rules to web pages derives from an inappropriate analo­ gy. Members of the committee seem to think that web pages resemble Yellow Pages ads. But archi­ tectural analogies are preferred by the users of cyberspace, and the attorneys who are pioneering the electronic practice of law have constructed whole offices on the Web. To them, submitting every action they make to the scrutiny of some computer illiterate committee is about as ridicu­ lous as having the same kind of oversight of a real-world firm. Finally, web sites cannot be used to solicit cases. An attorney cannot chase ambulances in cyberspace. His web site just sits there, waiting for someone to notice it and stop by. So rather than resembling a Yellow Pages ad, a web page, if it is advertising at all, more closely resembles a shingle. Thus by misconceiving the nature of web sites and of their potential to the practice of law, the Advertising Review committee of the State Bar of Texas has issued unworkable rules that suffer from what is welcomed in a virtual world but unforgivable in a real one — unreality. Cravens, a graduate student in middle eastern studies, is also a shareholder in Lamrouex & Cravens, P.C., San Antonio’s first law firm on the World Wide Web. Higher speed limits not more dangerous The race is on. After nearly 20 Shan e W illiams TEXAN C O LU M N IS T know, drivers below this magic age have the highest involvem ent in fatal crashes of any age group. years, C linton President repealed the national speed limit, giving states the opportunity to set their own standards. For speed demons, this news is good, but many fear that along with an increase in speed limits will come an increase in traffic fatalities. In reality, such a direct correlation is pure conjecture. Opponents of the plan to raise interstate speed limits above 65 mph point to the decrease in traffic fatali­ ties between 1973 and 1974. After the national speed limit took effect in January 1974, m otor vehicle deaths took the largest dive since such statistics were kept. Thus, they claim, driving slower clearly means driving safer, which leads to fewer deaths. What they don't mention is that fatalities had been dropping steadily for the previous seven years. Fur­ thermore, from 1975 to 1980 the num bers climbed back to nearly two-thirds of the level before the 1974 plummet. Most likely, the oil crunch that precipitated the national speed limit also led to fewer drivers on the roads, regardless of the speed at which they traveled. In, addition, a number of other factors have helped reduce traffic deaths in the last 20 years. since considerably First and foremost, the state of technology has pro­ autom otive gressed the 1970s. Not only have the cars them­ selves become safer and sturdier, but various restraint devices are now commonly used. Air bags are now standard, and many states have laws requiring the use of seat belts. Surprisingly, a declining inci­ dence of drunken driving over the last several decades has also con­ tributed to the lower number of traf­ fic deaths. Still, with more than 40,000 traffic fatalities in 1994 alone, opponents of the increase would seem to have a legitimate concern — that is, if most auto fatalities were related to speed. Despite much public focus on drunken driving, and the decline of such incidents in recent years, it still poses a threat on our roadways. Forty-five percent of all people killed in auto accidents have some level of alcohol in their blood and 36 percent exceed the legal limit of .10 percent blood alcohol content. Clearly, better enforcement of cur­ rent DUI laws would save many more lives than maintaining the 55 mph speed limit. Even the N ational Highway Transportation Safety Administra­ tion seems to rank other measures in lim it above speed terms of safety. As a fact sheet from the NHTSA states, "wearing seat belts is the easiest and most effective way of cutting the highway death toll." legislation If legislators really want to cut into traffic fatalities, they should focus their attention on drivers below the age of 25. As insurers well Reinstating the driving portion of licensing would be a step in the right direction. Further driving tests upon license renewal until age 25 would make certain that drivers in this dangerous age group maintain safe driving records. O pponents of a Finally, d eregulation predom i­ nantly affects the safest stretches of highw ay — interstate highw ays, which account for the fewest traffic fatalities of any road type at only 10 percent of the total deaths annually. limit increase are well-intentioned, but their means are misguided. The fact is that fast driving doesn't mean bad driving. Considering the many other causes of traffic fatalities, an increased speed limit amounts to very little compared to the benefits of faster travel. speed Williams is a senior in Plan II. is address His e-m ail shanew @ mail, utexas. edu. i Viewpoint right on target I agree w holeheartedly with Jason Kraus' ( Vieiopoint, "K yle Field," Dec. 6), concerning the actions of the Aggie Corps after our victory last Saturday. It seems th at they were less concerned with the sanctity of their stadium as a war memori­ al than they were with venting their frus- tration after witnessing their home victory streak come to an end. In a way, I guess, it is understandible. There isn't much else to be proud of in Col­ lege Station. Seeing the last thing that they held over the University come to an end must be upsetting. One only needs to look at football hom e page (http : / / s p o rts .ta m u .e d u / v a rsity / f o o t ­ ball/ football.html, for those who are inter­ ested) for m ore evidence. A pparently A&M did not lose to us, but was simply the Aggie j OUTSCORED by us. Actually, they lost. Charles Notzon Economics freshman UT fans are the real thugs Given that A&M 's student newspaper published a scathing editorial condemning the actions of some Aggie Corps members after Saturday's game, it would have been refreshing to see the Texan publish a com ­ parable editorial criticizing those UT stu­ dents who played a part in the unfortunate incident. Alas, we are instead presented with drivel — encouragement for the poor UT victims to seek help from personal injury attorneys. The facts are these: When it became clear that UT was going to win the game, the UT students sitting in the horseshoe section of Kyle Field began throwing ice, food, and glass bottles at the Aggie fans who were sitting in temporary seating on the track. I know this because I saw it from the A&M student section, and my parents w ere unfortunately sitting where the projectiles were falling. The Corps members on the field wit­ nessed this as well. They then took up posi­ tions between the UT students and the playing field to discourage anyone from trying to enter it. As the game ended, sev­ eral instigators from UT chose to try to storm the field through the Corps members and got what they should have expected. Let's be honest about who the true insti­ gators were. The victors write the history books, so future generations will no doubt blame the "Aggie thugs" for Saturday's events. Per­ sonally, having been there, I know who the real thugs are. Joe Bezdek Graduate student in mechanical engineering Don’t blame Aggie Corps I am writing in response to the editorial in the Dec. 5 issue of the Texan labeling the Corps of Cadets as m em bers of "thu gs." Rob Rogers calls for legal action against the Corps for assault. I find it inter­ esting that he fails to mention the lack of intelligence of the UT students who tried to rush onto Kyle Field. These people chose to ignore the PA announcer, who asked them FIRING LINE to stay o f f . And then, even more bemusing, they chose to ignore Parson's Mounted Calvary, and the other members of the Corps. When they saw the Corps members moving over to keep them off the field, why didn't they turn around, instead of foolishly trying to run through a crowd of Corps members? Kyle Field is a memorial to all the Aggies who died in service to their country. Out of respect for the memorial, people are told to stay off the field after games. One of the jobs of the Corps of Cadets is to guard the field after the game. Some of your fans tried to challenge the Corps. And the Corps did their job, plain and simple. I was on the field and saw many t.u. alumni picking fights with Corps mem­ bers. And over in the north end zone, t.u. "fans" were throwing bottles at the Corps and other Aggies on the track. But I guess we should follow your edi­ tor's advice, and sue your school for the trauma we experienced while having bot­ tles thrown at us, and having to look at that ugly color of orange y'all wear. Now, I am not saying everybody sup­ porting t.u. at the game were jerks. Some of your fans showed class, congratulating us on a good game, and wishing us luck in the Alamo Bowl. Some of your supporters could learn a lot from these people. Having said my piece, 1 just want to congratulate you on your win, and wish you luck in the Sugar Bowl. James Taglienti Journalism freshman Texas A&M University Aggie Corps lacks class Although largely on target, Tuesday's editorial by Robert Rogers failed to focus on some of the more relevant facts sur­ rounding the Aggie's incredible display of poor sportsmanship last Saturday. Initially, I would point out that although legal redress is available and appropriate for the individuals involved, Texas A&M will suffer far more from public humilia­ tion that will undoubtedly flow from this graphic example of mass cowardice. To those who witnessed the beatings of stu­ dents by large groups of Corps members and the Hitler Youth approach employed by the Aggies, the only question should be how a university can condone, let alone be associated with, these types of actions. To point out that celebrating students are not a threat to anyone hardly seems neces­ sary; in fact, most schools would not rea­ sonably try to prevent a well-earned foot­ ball field celebration in the first place. Try ing to rationalize assault only makes the lack of class that much more reprehen­ sible. F inally, it is truly amazing that A&M students (last time I checked, the Corps personnel were also students), while out­ numbering the Texas fans 100 to 1, would attack them in the name of anything resembling honor or respect. Certainly, this type of cowardly behavior proves nothing except that the school, not the football team, was the real loser on Sat­ urday. Instead of "gig 'em ," Texas A&M might consider employing a slogan more in line with the approach adopted by its students: "There's bravery in numbers!" T. Williamson Austin resident Moffet exploits ignorance I am terribly confused over why Bernard Rapoport, chairm an of the Board of Regents, thinks that it is "m ost appropri­ ate" to name the molecular biology build­ ing after Moffett, the nation's top corporate earth, land and water polluter. Cancer is no picnic in the park. Clearly, the relationship is a major conflict of interest. It is purely political. M offett wants to get his name on as many buildings as possible to purify his public image. He puts on a million TV ads in New Orleans. He even has his name on the Boy Scouts building there. M offett's secret to success is exploitation of ignorance.

Floyd Hoelting, director of the division, has proposed that the new position be implemented next fall. If the assistant position is approved by Jim Vick, vice president for student affairs, the new assistant director will be charged with help­ ing to create "a level playing field for every em ployee and every customer [the division] serves" and ensuring that "no one is advantaged or disadvantaged because of difference." He added that "95 percent" of the proposal already has been finalized, and a rough draft of the document is being reviewed by the Office of Human Resources before it is forwarded to Vick. Vick could not be reached for comment on the proposal Wednesday. In a campus living environment, students and housing staff "all meld together," Hoelting said. The purpose of the new assistant director would be to "facilitate the opportunity for [students and housing staff] to develop ... an environment within which everyone has equal opportuni­ ties." Hoelting said the division has studied diversi­ ty positions that many other universities — including Texas A&M University and all of the future Big 12 schools — have implemented. Housing and food service officials also have sent a portion of the UT proposal to outside diversity consultants for analysis, he added. Many of the schools surveyed have joint posi­ tions for diversity development, Hoelting said. Texas A&M is somewhat unique, he said, in that it has one full-time staff member with the title of coordinator of diversity education in residence life. M arlen W hitley, director of the M inority Information Center and a resident assistant in Beauford H. Jester Center, said he has not heard about the proposal. But W hitley added th at he has been "im p ressed " by H oelting's com m itm ent to diversity. In the close living quarters that go along with dormitory life, it is necessary to "create a living environment where everyone is comfortable," Whitley said Richardson Hall will gain new permanent structural supports KEVIN F1TCHARD Daily Texan Staff Flaws in Sid Richardson Hall's design make repairing the building's structure too expensive, so workers will shore up its floors permanently without sacrificing its appearance, UT officials said Wednesday. The design of the building, though not the building itself, had some structural flaws, said Sid Sanders, assistant director of the physical plant. "If we tried to repair the building along those designs, it would be sim­ ply too expensive," Sanders said. Physical plant workers then will replace the temporary supports inside and outside with permanent and more "attractive" supports, Sanders said. In October, Department of Physical Plant personnel discovered the floors were shifting vertically, and UT officials immediately closed the building. Though studies by physical plant and independent engineers determined that the chance of collapse to be small, officials said they did not want to take any risks. About 38 temporary steel columns are propping up Sid Richardson Hall currently, and Sanders said the Department of Physical Plant will replace most of them with permanent fixtures. Some supports will be replaced with braces to make the building as attractive as possible. "Our goal is to come up with something visually compatible with the building's original appearance," Sanders said. The Department of Physical Plant also determined that the plaza on which Sid Richardson Hall and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum rest is in not in imminent danger, and workers will not make repairs to the plaza immediately. Engineers determined last week that the plaza also has structural defects that caused its northern end to shift vertically. The plaza lies on a series of expansion joints that allow the mass of concrete to expand and contract without cracking as the temperature changes. But engineers discovered that drains running along the metal expansion joints had become clogged, exposing the joints to standing water for long periods. "At some point we'll have, to do some rebuilding of the plaza, but we want to have a more analytical study performed first," Sanders said. The LBJ Library, Sid Richardson Hall and the plaza were built in the early 1970s. Shortly after the construction, the University filed a lawsuit against the building contractor and some of its architects, accusing them of shoddy workmanship and using faulty materials.

Unlike UT, Virginia Tech offers all 15,000 tickets to the students JASON SCHWARTZ Daily Texan Staff W hile UT students spent the night at L. Theo Bellmont Hall Sunday night in hopes of taking home tickets to the Nokia Sugar Bowl, students from other schools with bowl-bound teams did not share a similar experience. In less then two hours Monday morning, the University sold out its 1,500 student tickets to the New Orleans bowl game. But on game day Dec. 31, student fans of the ninth-ranked Longhorns will be strongly out­ numbered by students from No. 13 Virginia Tech. Though the'U niversity received an allot­ ment of 15,000 tickets, UT policy reserves only 10 percent of those for students. But V irginia Tech d istrib u tes its en tire 15,000-ticket allotment on a first-come, first- serve basis, and as of 5 p.m . W ednesday school officials said they still had tickets avail­ able. Bradley Schaller, an engineering freshman at Virginia Tech, said there is a demand for the tickets at the school, but students there do not seem worried about their availability. "No one spent the night, but they did for all the other games, especially [against] Miami," Schaller said. The allotment "is more than the number of the people I think would go. That's more than half of our school." Katie M irick, an environm ental sciences freshman at Virginia Tech, agreed that tickets are not as hot a commodity there as they are at the University. "I think if I'd have tried to get tickets origi­ nally it would've been pretty easy. I definitely wouldn't have had to sleep outside," Mirick said. The comments from the Virginia Tech stu­ dents offer a stark contrast to the situation at the University. Kelly Ketter, a UT undeclared freshman, said there were already about 150 people in line at Memorial Stadium before 11 p.m. Sun­ day for Sugar Bowl tickets. "W e really needed tick ets becau se we thought it was going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity," Ketter said. "W e knew they'd sell out — just like OU." Michael Bos, the UT athletics ticket manag­ er, said UT policy allows 10 percent of all ticket allotments for students. "Roughly 10 percent [of the tickets are] for the students and then we cover the priority groups — the Longhorn Foundation, the affili­ ated group members, lettermen, UT voting faculty and "Code 1000" personnel, and dues- paying Texas Exes. Then we open it up to the general public," Bos said. "That's just the poli­ cy we follow." Bos also said the p ercentage allotted is determined by the history of ticket sales. When the University plays against the the University of Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, extra tickets are set aside. "T h e 1,500 w as ju st the m inim um , and we're going to give any extras to the students," he said. "They'll get them before anyone else." Texas A&M University follows a similar policy. Sheryl Whateley, A&M assistant ticket manager, said the 10 percent allotment policy is justified, considering the universities' sup­ port. "I would guess A&M and [the University] are bigger football schools, so we're going to have to limit tickets," she said. Texas A&M set aside 1,200 of its 11,000 Alamo Bowl tickets for the student body. The University of Nebraska, whose football team is vying for the national championship in the Orange Bowl, put a much tighter cap on the number of student tickets for the bowl. Of the 12,500 tickets Nebraska officials pur­ chased, ,500 are for students. Cindy Dell, the N ebraska athletic ticket director, said the cap comes from the school's history of ticket sales. "W e only had 386 students go to last year's [O range B o w l], so we fig u re th is is an increase," she said. "In fact, this is the first year in who knows how long that we've sold out. Normally we only sell about 40." Dell said the low number of sales is due pri­ marily to the distance between her school and the Orange Bowl in Florida. Chris Plonsky, UT associate athletic director, said every school must have its own ticket-sell­ ing policy due to differences in demand. "Virginia Tech has a much smaller enroll­ ment, and you can tell by simple mathematics that we just can't operate the same way," Plon­ sky said. "W e have been more then generous, in my opinion, to our students." "I know things don't look good when tick­ ets are in high demand, but during the last three weeks there are a lot of students that suddenly jumped on the football bandwagon, and I think they'll be the first to admit it," she added.

Risks involve the possi­ bility of the children deciding not to attend a college in state, or any col­ lege at all. Burt also questioned whether the money and interest collected by the state is subject to taxation. "You and I both know what the IRS likes to do with income," said Burt. Andy Welch, spokesman for the Texas comptroller's office, said the money invested and the interest on that m oney will not be taxed, but students will have a small tax liabil­ ity for the m oney saved w ith the lower tuition costs.

Phil Gramm said Wednesday. "I do believe there is a conflict between that role arming the Bosnians and serving as a neutral buffer force and I believe many, even in the S enate an d c e rta in ly in the administration, have not reconciled how we could provide those two functions at the same time," the Texas Republican said in a floor speech. The p re sid e n tia l hopeful is stau n ch ly ag ain st sen d in g U.S. troops on a NATO p e a c e k e e p in g m issio n to the fo rm e r Yugoslavia.

The Dole-backed resolution has run into tu rb u le n c e am ong S enate R epublicans. Gramm and other opponents are seeking to force a vote on whether to send the troops at all. At a n ew s conference in th e C apitol, Republican senators pressed their case for a resolution oppo sing the deploym ent. " I think the president has m ade a m istake," said Sen.

But Gram m and other opponents are determined to vote against any deployment.

DRIU IT UKE YOU MEAN IT Appeals court rules in favor of hospitals in workers’ comp case Child support law faces inadequate enforcement Associated Press DALLAS — A heralded child support law that went into effect Sept. 1 is not being enforced as some would like. The state has yet to suspend a hunting permit, fishing license or driver's license of people behind in child s u p p o rts p a y m e n ts, which is allowed under the new law. A nd som e la w m a k e rs an d ch ild s u p p o rt a d v o c a te s are unhappy about that, despite the attorney g en eral's boast that it has helped collect $5.4 m illion merely with the threat of the law, The Dallas M orning News report­ ed. "T h ere are teeth in our law s now," said Rep. Toby Goodman, R-Arlington, a sponsor of the law. It perm its suspension of profes­ sional, recreational and driver's licenses of parents ow ing child support. "G etting $5.4 m illion on $1.4 billion owed is not much money. It's all relative," Goodm an said Tuesday. Ron Dusek, a spokesm an for the attorney general's office, said Tuesday that actually going after licen se s is p re m a tu re at this point. Since the law w ent into effect in September, about 18 percent of targeted parents have responded to suspension notices by arrang­ ing ch ild s u p p o rt p a y m e n ts, Dusek said. Notices were m ailed to 75,000 parents who have ignored court orders to pay back child support. So far, 13,857 delinquent parents h av e re sp o n d e d by a rra n g in g payments, Dusek said. He said seco n d n o tic e s are being sent to some of those who previously failed to respond, and if there is still no answer, license suspensions could begin "in sev­ eral months." "We want to* give the opportu­ nity for these persons to come in and voluntarily pay first. That is the most efficient way to do this," Dusek said. G oodm an, a law yer w ho has p ra c tic e d said fam ily e n fo rc e m e n t of c h ild s u p p o rt laws is key to getting the atten­ tion of delinquent parents. law , "S o m e of these p eo p le have been threatened w ith jail for 20 y ea rs, an d very few of these offenders ever have gone to jail. And they get the idea, 'So what?"' he said. H e n o te d th a t m ore th an 800,000 delinquent child support cases have been filed w ith the attorney general's office, which by state law is responsible for col­ lection efforts. In A u g u st, Texas A tto rn e y General Dan Morales announced he w as m ailin g out n o tic e s to child support scofflaws and that the time for excuses was over. He said each case involved an already procured court order and that his concern was for the "chil­ dren w ho need ad eq u ate food, clothing and shelter and parents who seem ingly don't care." He predicted collecting $20 million in the first year from deadbeat par­ ents. Lynda Bensen, president of the A sso c ia tio n for C h ild re n for Enforcement of Support, said she b e lie v e s th a t the d iffe re n c e between what the attorney gener­ al's office says and w hat it does has created "a credibility p ro b ­ lem." "They have established them ­ selves as a no-action agency," she said. Some private agencies already have successfully pursued license suspensions in court for clients who are owed child support. "T h e difference is th at w e're filing right aw ay," said Richard "C asey " Hoffman, president of the C hild Support Enforcem ent firm based in Austin. "Such a significant change should be based on reli­ able, pertinent data and a penetrating analysis of alter­ natives. The order fails to docum ent either." Unlike the old system, the new rule did not account for differences in geography or in the complexity of the medical procedure performed, the judges said. Instead, the rule divided hospital and medical ser­ vices into broad categories? such as surgical or intensive care, and assigned a fixed daily reimbursement for any treatment in a particular category. "For example, under the new system Methodist Hos­ pital in Houston receives the same per-diem reimburse­ m ent for open-heart surgery that a sm aller hospital receives for surgery necessitated by a broken leg" because both are in the "surgery" category, the court opinion said. "The commission has decided to reimburse very dif­ ferent medical services at the same rate because they fall in to the same broad category. The commission can­ not ¡ustify such an action without providing, or more thoroughly describing, the data it used," the opinion said. The W orkers' C om pensation Com mission plans to appeal W ednesday's ruling, commission spokeswoman Linda McKee said. She also said the rule is under review at the agency. W orkers' com p in su ran ce carriers paid h o sp itals $262.8 million for inpatient services to injured workers in 1994 under the rule's guidelines, McKee said. The lawsuit was brought by the Texas Hospital Asso­ ciation, Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council, Memorial Healthcare System in H ouston and Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene. The effect of the rule on each hospital depended on the percentage of workers' comp patients it treated, said Charles Bailey, general counsel for the Texas Hospital Association. But he said overall, hospitals provided millions of dollars worth of services for which they w eren't reim ­ bursed. Bailey said hospitals do not oppose fee guide­ lines but want to help develop a fair system. Lawyer C. Dean Davis, representing the association, said, "Everybody else that has to pay for their hospital bills, and all other programs have to bear the cost of the w orkers' com pensation program not paying its fair share." o b i the W orld W ide Web Share in the pageantry and excitement of the SUGAR BOWL with the Longhorn Football Team and UT Student, Faculty, Staff and all other Longhorn Fans!

R O B E R T P A TT O N /D a ily Texan S taff Associated Press An appeals court W ednesday threw out a state rule limiting workers' compensation insurance payments to hospitals, which contended the regulation shorted them millions of dollars for inpatient services. A th re e -ju d g e p an e l of the s ta te 's 3rd C o u rt of Appeals ruled that the Texas W orkers' Compensation Commission failed to follow proper procedure in mak­ ing the rule, w hich stem m ed from a 1989 w orkers' comp reform law.

Smatra spent nine fruitful years at Capitol, and then returned to the label more than 30 years later to record the Duets collections in 1993 and 1994. C elebrating this m ore recent return, C apitol has also released Sinatra 80th Live, a one-CD collection of late '80s live perfor­ mances, featuring a leftover duet, M y Way with Luciano Pavarotti, tacked on to the end. W hen in the early '60s, Sinatra left label, to form his ow n Capitol Repnse, it w as m ore of a business decision than an artistic one, seeing that he had always retained control over his music at Capitol. Sinatra had simply observed w hat good business Capitol was doing w ith his records and w anted to get a bigger piece of that action. The Reprise era, spanning m ore than 25 years, w as an interesting period for Sinatra's music. C om peti­ tion from the em erging sounds of rock 'n ' roll in the '60s forced Sinatra to experim ent in m any different styles and m ake "interesting" choic­ es in material. By this time Sinatra's voice had aged like fine w ine, becom ing a deep, rich expressive instrum ent. In the '60s Sinatra still had big hits, like Strangers in the Night, but w as given a hard time by critics w ho objected to his risk-taking and choice of material. Stood against the alm ost unre- proachable C apitol the Reprise years often get a bad rap. Sayers, how ever, countered that opinion: tenure, "I just d o n 't think th at people should dismiss the Reprise years as being so inferior to Capitol. I think the Reprise years had some m ar­ velous recordings. "There's probably a few lapses of taste that have skewed people's opin­ ions, like the recordings he m ade to try and keep in step w ith pop music the disco [Winchester Cathedral, arrangem ent of Night and Day]. But he only m ade a few of those mistakes. 1 think some some of his album s with Repnse are every bit as good as w hat he did with Capitol, or close." Well, Reprise is certainly proud of its Sinatra catalog, celebrating the 80th birthday with the m other of all box sets, the handsom ely packaged Complete Reprise Studio Recordings, 20 CDs of every usable master the chair- The young, skinny Sinatra at ease. sw inging Sinatra w as a welcome revolt against the reserve of the Eisenhow er years. N otably, his tenure at the label brought two new types of songs into the Sinatra reper­ toire, the up-tem po sw inger and the saloon song, genres which will ever be associated w ith him. The list of classics he recorded d u r­ ing these nine years is a long one indeed: 1 Got You Under M y Skin, The Lady is a Tramp, Young at Heart, In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning, etc. Capitol was also the place where Sinatra becam e the first artist to develop the concept album, allowing the singer to create the perfect mood, while exploiting the new m edium of the long-player record to its fullest.

Basically an update of her 1985 tome, this edition features hundreds of fabulous photos, manv of them personal, which m ake up for a som ew hat unim aginative day-by- day chronicling of the Sinatra story. Reading it over, one is am azed by all the activity Sinatra m anaged to cram into one lifetime. Also included is an interesting sam pler CD of Sina­ tra soundbites. In past years, the majority Sinatra books have consisted of the unautho­ rized biography type, with precious little attention paid to Sinatra's art. Luckily, 1995 has seen the release of several books that help to add rt44- this imbalance. "That's wyhat he's always w anted," Sayers said. "1 think he probably appreciates the critical and thought­ ful books that are coming out nov, that really analyze his music. And there are people analyzing his music that know7 music." One of those people is Will Fried wald, w7hose recent book, Sinatra! The Song Is You, is the definitive chronicle of Sinatra's art as a song stylist. Tht book focuses on w hat m ade Sinatra 's music so great, while paying special attention to the arrangers and musi d a n s w ho w orked alongside him. There are signs that this approach­ ing anniversary m ay m ark his retire m ent as well. While m ost people hri age have been retired for years, Sina tra has continued to perform "sim ph loved w hat he w a4- because he doing," Sayers said. But his collapse last year at a con cert in Richmond, Va. w as highh pu b lid zed , and num erous re p o r ts nave critidzed recent performances, stating that he should do the decent thing and retire for good. However, for every critical pan, there's a rave review7 that attests to his continuing pow er to completely m esm erize an audience. Sayers, him ­ self a veteran of many Sinatra perfor m anees since the '70s, observed that while Sinatra's voice is not w hat it was in his pnm e, he has never lost hi4- "ability to perform a song and really sell it to the audience." If F ra n d s Albert Sinatra never steps into another recording studio or sings another note on stage, his place in the pantheon of American popular m usic is secure. Few have ridden higher or longer on the back of that strange, fickle beast of public popularity. And with all the hoopla surrounding his 80th birthday, it's a great time to be a Sina tra fan. Now he can sit back and relax a bit, while the rest of us sit bai k and enjoy the music. MICHAEL JOLLY Daily Texan Staff "Francis Albert Sinatra will cele­ brate his 80th birthday on Dec. 12. Get a bottle of Jack Daniels and a pack of Chesterfields and join in." — Frank Sinatra Web Page N ow that all the hype for the Beat­ les reunion has blow n over, it's time to turn your attention to another anniversary. On Dec. 12, Frank Sina­ tra, OI' Blue Eyes himself, celebrates his 80th year, almost 60 of which have been spent, with grand success, in show business. The once-skinnv kid from Hoboken, N.J., can legiti­ mately lay claim to being the greatest American popular singer of the cen­ tury. Sinatra perfected the style of singing ushered in by the invention of am plified sound earlier this centu­ ry W ith the ad v en t of the m icro­ phone, singers d id n 't have to project their voices to reach the back of some theater. Instead they could concen­ trate on a more nuanced delivery, and "croon" to a radio audience of millions, as Bing Crosby, Sinatra's earliest idol, w ould do. But Sinatra, like no other singer, learned how to use the m icrophone as an expressive instrum ent. Another key to the developm ent of Sinatra's singing style w as his legato breathing technique, picked up from observing band leader and trom bon­ ist Tommy Dorsey breathe out of the com er of his m outh during especially long passages. Sinatra's use of a sim­ ilar technique allowed him to phrase lyrics effortlessly, and in the process expand his emotional delivery. The other two elem ents in the Sina­ tra form ula w ere his im m aculate, instinctive sense of tem po and tim ­ ing, and the good fortune to have w orked with the best songw riters (Porter, the Gershwins, C ahn and Van Heusen) and arrangers (Riddle, May, Jenkins) around. Scott Sayers, a local Sinatra expert and co-author of Sinatra: The Matt and His Music, an exhaustive chronicling of S inatra's sessions, explained that it was "a m atter of him associating himself with people that w ere able to achieve the mood he w anted, that were innovative." recording Except for a dark period at the end of the 1940s, S inatra's m usic has always been popular and he has con­ tinued to gain new fans in the face of ever-changing musical tastes. A testam ent to this fact is the sale of more than 6 million for his recent Duets collections. Surprisingly, these were Sinatra's highest sales figures ever, despite the fact that the voice w as a shadow of w hat it was in its prime. Sinatra's music attracts fans of all ages, including many on college campuses, w ho might have an album like Songs for Swinging Lovers nestled between their copies of Nevermind and Automatic for the People. Sayers has a few ideas about Sina­ tra's enduring popularity, especially with younger generations "I think he's always had that hip, cool image, dating back from the '50s and '60s — the swinging, sexy Sina­ tra," Sayers said. "A nd he's always been as popular with the gentlemen as with the ladies because everv man, at some point in their life w ould like to be like him," Sayers added. In order to celebrate (or cash in, if you're a cynic) on Frank's 80th, each of the three major record labels that Sinatra has been affiliated w ith d u r­ ing his solo career has prepared spe­ cial anniversary releases. Ranging from one to 20 CDs, purchasing all these sets could make for a happy, albeit expensive, Christm as for Sina­ tra fans. Frank Sinatra began his career tow ard the end of the '30s in the big bands of H arry James and Tommy Dorsey. Both gigs proved to be excellent training ground for the young bari­ tone. After rising to become the star of Dorsey's revue in the early '40s, Sinatra struck out on his own, signing w ith Columbia Records in 1943 and rem aining at the label until 1952. This w as the period of Sinatra as the lean crooner in a floppy bow tie and big suit — the Sultan of Swoon, w ho drove thousands of teen-age girls to distraction long before Elvis, and longer before The Beatles. In the era of the 78 rpm , the Voice, as he came to be known, laid dow n some classic, lush ballads, most of them beautifully arranged by Axel Stordahl. Night and Day, Nancy and I ’m a Fool to Want You all encapsulate the essence of the young Sinatra. C olum bia's excellent reissue imprint, Legacy, has already released a com­ plete Í2-CD collection of the C olum ­ bia years. A nd this O ctober C olum bia released a four CD distillation of that massive project. Frank Sinatra, The Best of The Columbia Years 1943-1952 is a comprehensive, 96-track package of all the early Sinatra you'll ever need and then some. Tow ards the end of the '40s, how ­ ever, Sinatra's career had reached a low point, he w as failing at the box office, his television show w as can­ celed, he lost his voice, and his label w as m aking him record sub-standard songs. According to Sayers, Sinatra "w as rejecting songs as much as he could. [Columbia] forced him into doing some songs he never would have done." An increasingly unhappy Sinatra w as eventually dropped from the Columbia roster and picked up by then-tiny Capitol Records. Soon after arriving, Sinatra was hooked up with talented arranger Nelson Riddle ("an absolute genius," according to Say­ ers), beginning lauded phase of his career, while helping to turn Capitol into a major record label. As Sayers com m ented, "H e was Capitol records in '50s. He paid for the Capitol Tower [the famous pago- da-esque H ollyw ood landm ark] through his record sales." the m ost At Capitol, the new , confident Page 10 Thursday, December 7,1995 T h e D a il y T e x a n ON SCREEN (Show times begin Friday.)

We are a private, nonsectarian elem entary school. — openings for Spring enrollm ent, ages 5-7 — The Tint thing you should know about this exam is that Section 3 did not count toward your score! Each LSAT has an "experimental" section in which LSAS tests the validity of future test questions. Test-takers receive different experimental sections, while the scored sections are identical. THE HSIDE SCOOP ON THE DEC. 2 LSAT Analytical Reasoning This "games" section was extremely straightforward for Princeton Review students. Our techniques, based on previous LSATs, worked very well. We even saw several games on this test that were quite similar to those on released LSATs which our students worked in class. As usual, if you saved the more time-consuming, confusing games for last (or skipped them altogether!) your pace on this section would have been fine. Logical Reasoning Both of these "argument" sections were extremely similar to those of past LSAT administra­ tions. There was a heavy focus on identifying the type of reasoning. About one-third of the questions were of this type, following the trend of the past several exams. Test takers who knew how to identify the most tiresome and time-consuming questions benefitted by skip­ ping them The amount of time it took to answer some of these would allow a tester to get credit for two or three more straightforward questions Reading Comprehension All four passages were very much like those we've seen in the recent past. Understanding the structure of the passage was more important than understanding the content. Focusing on the elimination of wrong answers rathei than looking for the "right" answer was key to doing well in this section Call us for more information!

Evjor/- O n e TAKES V ADVANTAGE y WOFTHEM’ xC Oilers ‘pep rally’ has disappointing turnout Associated Press HOUSTON — Wonder no more about Bud Adams' reasons for pack­ ing up the Houston Oilers and head­ ing for .Nashville. In a city of some 2 million resi­ dents, pnly 65 made it downtown W ednesday to show their support for the NFL franchise. Think like Adams, and that works out to be one fan for every thousand seats in the Astrodome. M ost w ho cam e, like Linda Keltch, have resigned them selves to the team fleeing for greener pas­ tures — and better fan support — in Tennessee. " I think they're really going to g o," said Ms. Keltch, a 52-year-old departm ent store em ployee who attended the pep rally in front of City Hall. "I'v e always been an Oilers fan, from years ag o," she said. "It seems like every time we turn around Bud Adams has something else happen that breaks our hearts. "Still they were H ouston's team and we love them and I hate to see them go. I hate to see so few people out here today." The Oilers, who have played in Houston for 36 years, have a con­ tract with Nashville to move there in 1998 if that city meets a set of requirements. The next of those is selling 82 luxury suites by Jan. 20 at a cost of $50,000 to $125,000 each. Wednesday's last-minute gather­ ing was organized by a group of hard-core fans led by Marci Foster. "O ur crowd is not enormous but ... we felt like it was time we made our hearts and efforts known to this city," Mrs. Foster said. "N ever give up and w e're never going to quit." Chris Lockridge, who has become something of a landmark at Oiler games, criticized Mayor Bob Lanier for not doing more to keep the team in Houston. " I don't want to lose this team. This city needs to get behind them ," said Lockridge, his face painted in Columbia blue, red and white. He wore overalls with the w ords "H ouston O ilers" printed all over. " I f Sam Houston w ere alive today, he'd kick some butt," Milton Otte, a 65-year-old transplant from Chicago. He says since he moved to Houston 15 years ago, he's been a diehard Oiler fan and he's disap­ pointed with the lack of effort to keep the team here. "In 36 years, Bud Adams has been treated like a second class citizen when h e's given everything he could to put a good team on the field," Otte said. If the luxury suites and perm a­ nent seat licenses sell in Nashville as stipulated, the Tennessee Legis­ lature then would have to approve $79 million to go toward funding for the 65,000-seat, $124 million stadium. If that passes, construction is to begin in April and be completed by the 1998 season. City officials signed a 50-page, $292 million agreement in November with Adams, who is unhappy about playing the Astrodome. in S T A N D I N G N a t io n a l B a s k e t b a ll A s s o cia tio n N a t io n a l H o c k ey L eag ue Cowboys try to regain intensity EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic L W 15 4 13 5 11 5 7 0 7 0 7 0 3 13 Central W 14 0 1 0 7 0 6 L 2 0 0 10 10 10 12 P e t 789 .722 688 438 .438 .438 188 Pet. .875 529 467 444 .412 375 .333 Orlando New'York Miami Boston New Jersey Washington Philadelphia Chicago Atlanta Indiana Charlotte Cleveland Detroit Toronto WESTERN CONFERENCE Midwest L W 14 4 4 10 12 5 6 0 11 0 11 4 2 16 Pacific Pet. 778 .714 706 400 .353 .267 .111 Houston San Antonio Utah D enver_______ Dallas Minnesota Vancouver Sacramento Seattle L A Lakers Portland Phoenix L A Clippers Golden State W 12 11 0 6 " f ....y ... i t 4 8 t 8 ' .....t ... 10 11 Pet. 750 ¿ 47 J 0 0 .500 ü l .412 353 W ednesday's Games New York 92, Dallas 87 Indiana 108.

And they don't take the easy road out by blaming the coaches. "T h is is a team that can't put teams aw ay," said 13->year veteran, safety-linebacker Bill Bates. "In the NFL you're going to go up and you're going to go down but you still have to play with emotion. We have to make a run to the next level and I don't see the sense of urgency we should have." Bates said there is pressure on the defense to come together starting with Sunday's game in Philadel­ phia, particularly now that end Charles Haley is out for an undeter­ mined period of time following back surgery, "W e're beginning to feel the pres­ sure," Bates said. "N ow taking on Philadelphia is a scary task. We have to play very well to win there. We have to win on Sunday and you can get hurt there just standing on the sidelines. We've been hit wLh snowballs and batteries before just standing around." Dallas, 10-3, holds a two-game lead over the Eagles going into Sun­ day's noon game at Veterans Stadi­ um. Dallas easily defeated Philadel­ phia 34-12 on Nov. 2 in a Monday Night special at Texas Stadium. "W e've won there before when it counted but we've always had a tough time doing it," Bates said. Bates said nobody can blame the coaches for w hat's been happening on the field. "W e'v e had great game plam but nobody has 'executed," Bates said. "W e're always getting hit on those underneath crossing routes. That's just lack of execution. We need to get better quick." Safety D arren W oodson said maybe the 24-17 loss to Washington got the team 's attention. "So m etim es we play our best when we are backed up," W oodson said. "W e know we have to win the last three games to assure the home- field advantage the playoffs. Maybe what we need is pressure on us. I hope so." throughout Woodson said the Cowboys have been half asleep on defense. "W e'v e had a lot of mental laps­ e s," W oodson said. "Som etim es we play like the best defense in the league. Then there are letdowns you can't explain." Woodson added, " I don't know what the cure is. If I knew I'd be happy. We're just not playing gixid defense." Woodson defended critics of the coaching staff. "W e're not getting out-coachcd," Woodson said. "W e're just not com­ ing to play. This is not coach (Barry) Switzer's fault or coach (Dave) Cam- po's fault. They can't get out there on the field. They've put in good schemes." 1 0 - Misc.

DUGGER______________ D a ily Texan S ta ff Texas junior defensive end Tony Brack­ ens and junior offensive guard Dan Neil were selected on W ednesday to The Associ­ ated Press 1995 All- A m e r i c a s e c o n d team. TEXAS FOOTBALL Longhorn junior tight end Pat Fitzgerald picked up third-team AP All-America honors as well. "It's always an honor to be considered among the best players in the country," Brackens said. "But I have to give much of my teammates credit. They made the way for my success." Despite playing only 8 2 games for the Horns in '95, Brackens led the team in sacks (seven), fumbles caused (five), fum bles recovered (four) and quarterback pressures (29), and tied teammate Chris Akins with 16 tackles for a loss. He finished the year with 77 tackles. "It's a team game and everyone did their part," Brackens said. "I was just a benefac­ tor of all those parts." Neil and Fitzgerald could not be reached for comment. Brackens suffered a hairline fracture of his left tibia early in the second game of the year against Pittsburgh and missed the next three games. In eight games with Brackens, the Texas defense had 22 sacks and 69 tackles for loss compared to four sacks and 28 TFL in four games without him. Neil helped pave the way for a much improved Longhorn running attack that averaged 205.8 yards per game — good for 22nd nationally. Fitzgerald finished second on the team with 30 catches for 445 yards and led the team with eight touchdown catches in '95.

B* fon ¿he team left for Florida to take part in 1st Regional, Haley reflected Tuesday on the how good he feels about his No. 6 Texas squad. "I TEXAS VOLLEYBALL really d on't know what more I could ask for this season," Haley said. "I like the [tournament] draw we got, I like our attitude, our mental approach, everything. I mean we just went out and had the best practice we've had all season. That gives me a great feeling." The Lady Horns (25-6) will take their No. 2 seed into Gainesville, Fla., and take on third- seeded Illinois (24-8) Thursday at 3:30 p.m. at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. The other East Regional matchup pits top seed Florida (34-1) against fourth-seeded Texas A&M (23-6). What has Haley riding so high is the fact that his entire team is playing well, not just his start­ ing six. "The whole team is playing great, that's including our bench," Haley said. "The last six players on this team have a lot to do with how well we re doing. That's mostly off the court stuff, but they give the starters a challenge every day in practice." So far the East Region has held true to form, v\ ith all the top seeds advancing. While some coaches may privately root for upsets, Haley insists he was hoping to get a chance to play the top seeds. "For us to have the best chance to get to the Final Four, we need to play the best competition possible," Haley said. "It can only help us if we get everybody's best shot." For the second straight match, Texas will In addition to changing surfaces, some of the stadium changes could include expanding the Neuhaus- Royal athletics com plex at the south end; renovating restroom s as well as the overall structure; lowering the field and removing the Track that surrounds the football field; adding 8 ,0 0 0 seats where the track is cur­ rently located; adding luxury sky­ box suites; adding an upper deck on the east side; removing the north end zone seats; and remodeling the press box.

Last week, the Lady Horns shut down George W ashington's Svet­ lana Vtyurina, the N CAA's top hitter. Now the Horns will have to face the country's fourth leading hitter, Illinois' Erin Borske. In second- round action, Borske knocked down 35 kills in a four-game win over Georgia. "Borske is a legitimate hammer for them ," Haley said.

The cost to change surfaces — either replac­ ing the turf or installing grass — would be between $1 million and $ 1.2 million, and like­ ly be paid for by the athletic department, Dodds said. He also said the University is considering other ways to fund the entire renovation, including through donations, selling seat options and through bonds retired by the ath­ letic department. Dodds, however, said the project will not be funded by state money or student fees. Memorial Stadium is one of 42 Division I-A school stadiums still using artificial surface. Last season, the Universities of Oklahoma and Virginia made the transition to grass. And just Monday, workers began removing the AstroTurf at Kyle Field. The grass surface is expected to be ready for the start of the 19% season. To change surfaces, crews have to remove the turf and its underlying foam pad, as well as break up the asphalt base before top soil and grass can be put in place.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Robinson signs new deal, will end career as a Spur A s so cia te d Press » SAN A N TO N IO — A ll-Star center David Robinson has signed a new multi­ year contract with the San Antonio Spurs that keeps him with the team the rest of his NBA career. "W e're going to see a lot of David for a lot of years. ... As long as he plays, he'll be a Spur," Spurs general manager Gregg Popovich said in announcing the contract Wednesday. The team wouldn't release details of the pact. Robinson had two years remaining on a 10-year deal that reportedly would have paid him at least $7.3 million this season. Robinson, 30, said he wasn't sure how many more years he will play. "T h at's a good question. I'd like to play for the next 10 years," he said. "I'm taking them one year at a time. I feel great physi­ cally. I'm going to continue to keep my body in great shape." Robinson, the league's Most Valuable Player last season, now is in his seventh NBA season. He is the Spurs' all-time leader in rebounds with 5,724, and blocks, with 1,792, and is second on the team's all- time total points list with 12,557, behind only George Gervin. Spurs officials also lauded Robinson for his charity and other community work. Earlier this year the Spurs also signed Sean Elliott to a contract that keeps him with the Spurs the rest of his basketball life. Crucial to Robinson's decision to agree to the rare career-long contract was the Spurs owners' commitment to trying to keep the team in San Antonio, he said. Tarpley banned — again A sso cia te d P ress NEW YORK — Dallas Mavericks center Roy Tarpley, already banned once by the NBA for cocaine use, was thrown out of the league again Wednesday for using alcohol. By violating the terms of his aftercare agreement, Tarpley had his contract that was to pay him $23 million over the next five seasons nullified. Tarpley, 31, began the season on the sus­ pended list because of a pancreas ailment that bothered him throughout the summer. On Nov. 6, he was transferred to the injured list, which allowed him to begin receiving his $3.9 million salary, and the 6- foot-11 center had been working out in recent weeks. However, he tested positive for alcohol use three times, most recently last week, the NBA said. "I'm fine, just a little bit shocked/') Tarp­ ley told The Dallas Morning Ncios for its Thursday éditions. The move came after two days after anoth­ er Mavericks player, Donald Hodge, was arrested on charges of possessing marijuana. The Mavericks and the league have taken no action because marijuana possession is not a violation of the NBA drug policy. "T h is is the stupidest thing I've ever heard o f," Tarpley told The News. "Y ou tell me, what's going on here? Marijuana isn't a big deal to anyone, but alcohol is?" Please see Tarpley, page 15 Memorial Stadium renovations a possibility JASON W. DUGGER D a ily Texan S ta ff While renovations are already underway at Texas A&M 's Kyle Field, Memorial Stadium may undergo a face lift of its own within the next couple of years. An architectural firm hired by the Universi­ ty is drafting a proposal for improvements and renovations to Memorial Stadium, a proposal that could include replacing the artificial sur­ face and returning to natural grass. The current surface was installed in 1989 and is scheduled for replacement in 1997. Memorial Stadium has had turf since 1969. T}ie firm — Atlanta's Heery Co. — special­ izes in building athletic stadiums from the ground up as well as remodeling existing ones. "W e've hired a consultant to come in and develop the scope of a stadium m aster plan to help the U niversity," said Doug Messer, UT senior associate athletics director for business affairs. "They are working with us and trying to evaluate the cost options, what changes are practical, what is in our best interest and planning." Messer said that the recommendation is expected to be turned in around mid-March 1996. In addition to changing surfaces, some of Í M em orial Stadium has had^&n AstroTurf field since 1969. The currera turf field is scheduled for replacem ent in 1997. the stadium changes could include expanding the Neuhaus-Royal athletics complex at the south end; renovating restrooms as well as the overall structure; low ering the field and removing the track that surrounds the football field; adding 8,000 seats where the track is cur­ rently located; adding luxury' skybox suites; adding an upper deck on the east side; remov­ ing the north end zone seats; and remodeling the press box, said DeLoss Dodds, Texas men's athletics director. is Dodds added that once the proposal returned by the firm, it must be approved at different levels by the UT administration, which includes the athletic department, UT President Robert Berdahl, the UT System Board of Regents and a state coordinating committee.

Dr. Robert G. Watkins per­ formed the two-hour surgery in Los Angeles and found a frag­ ment of disc in Haley's back between the fourth and fifth lum­ bar vertebrae on the left side. "Everything went just fine," Dr. Watkins said. "Charles is rest­ ing comfortably and will be able to return to Dallas in a few days. "A t this point, we can't make a projection as to when he might return to the field. We should have a much better feel for his recovery time after a two- to three-week period has passed." Dallas coach Barry Switzer, who has said Haley won't play this season, said, "O u r primary concern with Charles right now is his health. W e're not going to address any timetable for his return to the field. We just want him to get back to Dallas and begin the road to recovery." Haley said before he left to California he still wants to play. "M y career might be over this year but I'm looking forward to next year and getting back into the grind again," Haley said. " I hope I can possibly play this year, but if not then maybe I'll have an opportunity next year." M ontreal sends Roy to C o lorad o in trade ■ D EN V ER — Star goalie Patrick Roy, suspended by the M ontreal C anadiens after a blowup with the team 's coach and president, was traded to the Colorado Avalanche in a five- player deal. The Canadiens also sent right wing Mike Keane to Colorado for goalie Jocelyn Thibeault, left wing Martin Rucinsky and right wing Andrei Kovalenko. Roy was angry at being left in a game against Detroit on Satur­ day night in which he was being shelled. With the score 7-1 in the second period, the M ontreal crowd gave Roy a mock cheer on an easy save and he raised his arms in mock triumph. lifted Roy. The After two more goals, Canadi­ ens new coach Mario Tremblay finally tw o exchanged angry glares and the goalie brushed past his coach to lean over to club president Ronald Corey and say: "T h at's my last game in M ontreal." Roy said he was "humiliated." It was suggested that had Trem­ blay been more supportive, Roy might not have asked for die trade. — Compiled from Associated Press reports
