Alexander's inventive investment career was based on his claim to be sole heir to the apparently nonexistent Ro\ le I )'I Uessandr'O Trust, for which he claimed a 200-year heritage and assets of more than $1 billion. Actually, he was the son of a Wisconsin plumbe'r. With a fancy office and a fanciful Web site, he guaranteed returns of 17 percent on the trust's investments and was su s­ pected of stealing about $3 million in all. One person lost $700,000, assistant Attorney General Scott Anderson said in court. "The public at large has to be care­ ful," Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said after the court session. "This was sim­ ply too good to be true. There simply is no such thing as a guaranteed 16.88 per­ cent return." One investor who would not reveal his name said at Spitzer's news confer­ ence that he had been bilked of $25,000, "pretty much all I had." He said Alexander met him repeatedly at a Port Chester restaurant and "seemed very honest." "He came in with expensive cars," the man said. "He seemed to know what he was talking about." resh Lunch Buffet & A La Carte Menu Visit our h o m e p a g e at h ttp://www.d ailytexanonline.com The Daily Texan Permanent Staff Editor M anaging Editor Associate Managing Editor Copy Desk Chief Associate Copy Desk Chief Design Editor Associate Design Editor N ew s Editor Associate News Editors Assistant N ew s Editors N ew s Assignments Editor Senior Reporters Senior Reporters Senior Associate Editor Associate Editor Features Editor Associate Features Editor Development Editor Photo Editor Associate Photo Editor Photo Assignments Editor Entertainment Editor Associate Entertainment Editor Fine Arts Editor Sports Editor Associate Sports Editor Senior Sports Reporters Sports' Entertainment Graphics Editor Com ics Editor Artist ......................................................

Sh aron Justice, associate vice president and dean of students, announced this week that she is retiring from her position, effective Aug. 3, after 24 vears at the University. Though she will be leaving the Office of the Dean of Students, she does plan to continue teaching som e class­ es at the University. Justice has becom e an asset to stud en t affairs and an im portant voice for students since her arrival at the University in 1976. Justice first joined the UT staff as assistant dean of students and coord in ator of orienta­ tion. In 1982, she w as prom oted to the position of asso­ ciate dean, and w as finally nam ed associate vice presi­ dent for student affairs and dean of students in 1985. She cam e to Texas from Illinois, w here she received her b ach elor's an d m aste r's degrees, as well as her Ph.D., in speech com m unication from Southern Illinois University, and then taught as an instructor in the speech d ep artm ent at N orthern Illinois U niversity at Dekalb. At UT Austin, she has also served as a lecturer in the d ep artm ents of ed u cation al psychology and ed u ­ cational adm inistration, and w as nam ed a Fulbright Scholar in 1999. D uring her tim e here, she w ork ed diligentlv to im p rov e reten tion services. She helped create and exp and p ro gram s like the Preview program , which is a "h ead start" p rogram designed to acclim ate students to the I niversitv, an d the G atew ay p rogram , w hich gives first-year students and sop hom ores the chance to enroll in sm aller classes. She also w orked to im p rove the serv­ ices for students w ith disabilities. W hen she first arrived at the L niversitv, there w as only one grad u ate student v\ i rking in this area, and now Services for Students with Disabilities is a fully functioning bod y of the Dean of Students Office an d boasts a tull staff. Justice also w o rk ed closely w ith the F ratern al C om m ission to create the Greek Life and Education Office as a p art of the Office of the Dean of Students. In iddition, she created the D ean's D ozen p rogram , which re a >gnizes outstan d in g gradu ating seniors. She is known for her concern and dedication to stu ­ dent'- H er openness and willingness to w ork closely wi th students has m ad e h er an invaluable asset in the L Hfice ot the Dean of Students. 1 he nature of her job has required her to w ork long hours and to deal with stu ­ nt issues as soon as they arise, but she claim s that the 'indents are her favorite part of the job, w hich is evident ¡act that she still m aintains close relationships b\ with m a n y form er students she has w orked with over the vears. t h t lustice has contributed a great deal to the U niversity d u r i n g her time here. H er w elcom ing attitude and con­ t a g i o u s em rgy h av e m ad e her office a h aven for stu­ d e n t s and have given her a reputation as a w om an firm­ ly c «nm itted to both her job and the people she serves. D e a n Justice will be greatly missed by students and statt alike, and T he Texan Editorial Board w ishes her the best ot luck in all future en deavors. The Daily Texan & Student Government have team ed up — really — to bring you two-and-a-half hours of tension, discord and action-packed rhetoric. Monday, Feb. 19 from 7 - 9:30 p.m. in Jester Auditorium (A121A) SG and Daily Texan editor hopefuls will answer students' questions and attem pt to explain why we should care enough to vote. 7 - 8 p.m.: SG presidential debate Moderated by Cecily Sailer Dally Texan Editor 8 - 9 p.m.: SG vice presidential debate Moderated by Garrick Pursley Dally Texan Senior Associate Editor 9 - 9:30 p.m.: Daily Texan editor debate Moderated by Daron Roberts SG President The debates will also air live on KVRX 91.7 FM GALLERY By Mike Jones Daily Texan Columnist SG election filled with melancholy With SG elections on the horizon the chances o f any o f us making it to March alive are slim James I have a copy of the sign-up sheet for the Student Government presidential candi­ dates stuck to the ceiling above mv bed. It's the last thing I see before I go to sleep in the morning and the first thing I see when 1 get up in the afternoon. The list has been up there for three days, I don't remember stick­ ing it on the ceiling, but the Miracle Whip I used to plaster the sucker up there is start­ ing to smell bad. This was supposed to be about different party platforms, I distinctly remember my editor saying that, but, dear reader, I can't do it. Not now, the air is thick with mayon­ naise, the rent's too damn high, the classes are too big, and spring's too far away. This is no time for hope. This is no time to listen to what people would do if they were in power. This is the time to find a warm body, crawl into bed and wait for the end-times. On the other hand, the very fact that the current administration has a section of their Web site devoted to a dog named STAMPY that they allegedly rescued from animal testing is probably the best argument for having annual student elections. We've got thousands of desks that don't fit malnour­ ished five-year-olds bolted to the floors of auditoriums bigger than Rhode Island and they're saving Cujo. Which brings me to Paul Miller and VIA­ GRA. Paul wants to use the awesome power of the SG presidential office to edu­ cate and inform the student populace. He thinks students should be more aware of what the SG and administration are doing on campus. He's wants to pump up the University Web site and hit the bricks informing you kiddos as to the how's and what's of the SG nether world. It's a rav of sunshine. It's a breath of fresh air. It's a pill that lets Bob Dole have sex. It's VIAGRA and it's coming to a West Mall near you. Matt Hammond from EMERGE and M. Hammond from Nor For Sale are not relat­ ed. Matt Hammond scares me, I don't call him. However, he is the current vice presi­ dent, and I'm sum mv love-affair with the current president could easilv c a m over to Matt. I called the mysterious M. Hammond and asked what the M. stood for. Whoever answered the phone said it stands for M. Mike Jones asks the stupid questions so vou don't have to, folks. Lucio Del Torro from STUDENT POWER wins for best quote, "We (stu­ dents) shouldn't come to you (the adminis­ tration), vow should come to us." A strong statement; only time will tell if he can pull it off. Ludo claims the support of previously non-politically active students and wants to represent those (of which there are thou­ sands) who have abstained from the sordid business of campus politics. David Denenburg of TOP GUN called me back at midnight on Sunday. I'd vote for anybody that keeps the same sleep sched­ ule as me, but that's not all. He, too, wants the SG to reach out to students. I le even has a cool acronym, S.O.S.: Sound Off Solutions. He wants to hear your problems and your solutions to those problems. 1 lowever, the reference to the movie Top Gun coupled with the phrase "Sound Off," makes one wonder if the Denenburg's SG would be mn like a boot-camp. Alexander from Alexander/Bourgeois also claims to get things done. He places an emphasis on stu­ dent alcohol awareness. James wants to take care of your liver and your quality of life. I have to say. however, he's got that Pit Bull look to him that makes one believe he could get anything done if he wanted to. He also looks like he could kick my ass so I'm not saving anything bad about him. Ryan Lambert says that his platform con­ sists of two main themes. He's running to win, and he's running to defeat Matt Hammond. The man's direct, I'll give him that. 1 haven't tracked down Danielle Anderson of RIGHT and Jeremy Liu of NADER. Through no fault of their own, dear reader, I have been unable to harass them with strings of pointless questions and excessive profanity. But their day will come. Page 4 is your one-stop shopping site for all of the campaign opinions that.fit. Sleep tight Ryan, James, Lucio, Danielle, Matt, M., David, Paul and Jeremv. And, get your rest, dear reader. We've got a long month ahead of us. The chances of any of us making it to March alive are slim. Jones is an English senior Did you know? Soul searching? Look no fa rth e r than eBay. Adam B u rtle , 2 0, started the bidding at 5 cents and sold his soul for $ 4 0 0 . In his listing on the In te rn e t auction site, Burtle, described him­ self as an a theist wear- ng an “ I’m with stu p id ” T-shirt. it realize, “ P lease I make no w arranties as to the condition of the is soul. As of now. near m in t co n d itio n , with only minor scratch­ es," he wrote. “ Due to difficultie s involved with removing my soul, the w inning bidder will either have to settle for a night of yummy Thai food and cool indie flicks, or wait until my natural death." B u rtle 's form e r g irl­ frie nd bid $ 6 .6 6 but lost in the final hour to another buyer. “ I d on’t think she’s going to be able to col­ lect on my soul, to be h onest,” Burtle said. The U niversity W ashington was su sp en d e d the site. of stu d e n t from - some material taken from The Associated Press THE FIRING LINE Right wing irony After that farce of an "election," here come the right-wingers, gleefully ready to tear apart and destroy everything that they hate (earth, animals, poor peo­ ple, minorities, artists, clean safe food, anyone who cares about the environ­ ment we live in and anyone who is not Republican and preferably born-again), and replace it with things that jibe with their dogmas . The architects of this Dark Age "adm inistration" will ultimately find that they, too, have to eat the chem-food and drink the chem ically-m uddied water, and that their children will suffer along with the "rab b le's" children. Being rich and Republican is no guar­ antee of safety from your own policies. So don't be TOO smug and self-right­ eous in your vendetta-filled triumph. You have to live here too, and you're f— — g it up for yourselves as well. M. R. Sutton UT staff M atters of con scien ce Jones' Congratulations for profiling Sarah Weddington in M onday's paper. And for printing too, congratulations, (Don't glorify letter D enise Weddington, Feb. 14) in today's Firing Line. Note, however, that in her pointed, one-sided barrage Jones never discuss­ es why women should be denied the right to choose. As an American born and raised in England, I continue to find it difficult why matters of conscience, such as the right to choose and the right to life, are in the w orthy of such prom inence United States. Particularly when the glaring hypocrisy of state-sanctioned murder persists. The British don't exe­ cute people, nor do they talk about abortion. Rather, the British understand abortion as a right to which all women have access. In Britain, women attempt­ ing to make the difficult, heart-rending choice of abortion (note that Jones fails to mention the traumatic process of arriving at the decision itself), are not beset bv public outcries by busy-bodies like Jones and the pro-life movement. To be sure, a wom an's choice to have an abortion is tragic. 1 am not arguing that abortion is a "good thing." But it must be defended as part of a woman's fundamental rights. Anything l e s s than a defense of this right in the coming four years will pave the way for federal and state governments to regulate more and more of our private lives, rather than recognizing peoples' right to choose their own futures in personal issues. If there is no defense of matters of conscience, if we pillory activists like Sarah Weddington, prurient do-good­ ers, such as Jones and her fellow travel­ ers, will predominate. They will invade each person's right to privacy and free­ dom of conscience as they stop at noth­ ing to hold us all to their arrogant moral principles. Patrick Lowery-Timmons History graduate student Davis statue should go I read Mr. How'ell's piece in yester­ day's Firing Line entitled Some things to consider and w'ould like to comment on one aspect of it — the Jefferson Davis statue. I think he brings up the key argument used in defense of that statue by claiming that it needs to remain as it is because it represents an important part of Texas history. Of course Jefferson Davis is an important part of history (few would argue with this fact), however, I disagree strongly with any argument claiming that the statue itself is "simply representing this." I do not believe that statues, or mon­ uments, represent history. I believe they represent ideals that we would like to be reminded of on a daily basis. Be it M L K instilling in us a sense of dignity and the American struggle for equality, or George Washington taking us back to the Enlightenment-era freedoms that we have since tried to emulate, statues are there as visceral reminders of the philosophies w d all hold dear. As further proof of this, when these ideals change, statues tend to be the first things to come down (look at how quickly the I enins of Eastern Europe were torn down when the USSR split up). Following this train of thought, Jefferson Davis, a s a statue, is a silent lobbyist the for I hese w ere above and C onfederacy. beyond the right of states to maintain slavery. the Texas look Ordinance of Secession if you still hold to the erroneous belief that the Civil War was only a states-rights issue (you can find a copy of this at unuwdsjunc­ tion. com/docs/secesson. htrn). the values of Just at Mr. Howell's point on the statue's rel­ evance to history is very important. But as such I feel a much more appropriate place for the Confederacy to be remem­ bered would be in an exhibit in the new' Texas History Museum. Such sensitive historical topics need to be handled very adeptly. German museums must deal with the N azis, however obnox­ ious a part of the past they may be; yet you would never see a statue of Hitler in front of the new Riechstag building because of the "im portant role" he played in Germany's history. Colin Christensen History/English senior Ju st clean them up I am dismayed by Mr. Kraal's state­ ment that "w e could use more students the bu ilding." for that care more Perhaps Mr. Kraal should consider a few relevant issues that impact the use of Garrison Hall. First, every UT under­ graduate must take two courses which fulfill the Texas legislative requirement. Among the courses applicable are HIS 315K, American History: 1492-1865 and HIS 315L, American History: 1865 to the present. That is, one must admit, a lot of undergrads. Several of these sections reach enrollments of 200 to 300 students each, per semester. Second, the profes­ sors for these courses have their offices in Garrison Hall, as do a significant number of the teaching assistants for these courses. Leaving aside building usage by history majors, minors and graduate students, as well as American Studies students and the few hardy souls who actually take electives in his­ tory, this creates tremendous traffic in and out of Garrison Hall: Some of the HIS 315 series students actually do enter Garrison to consult wfith their pro­ fessors and TAs, amazing as that may seem. Third, the building is in a prime location to attract traffic, after all. The bathrooms and vending areas are rea­ sonably convenient and easy to find. Therefore, speculation on the amount of caring, or lack thereof, shown the build­ ing by students seems counterproduc­ tive to me. It is a problem of infrastruc­ ture insufficient to withstand the cur­ rent level of use. This needs to be dealt wfith as such, simply and without fin­ ger-pointing. Just fix it!

GUEST COLUMN GUEST COLUMN Ticket Be a part of Project 2001, DTs day of service T he D a ily T e x a n Thursday, February 1 5, 2 0 0 1 Page 5 By Brian Moulton Guest Columnist UT's service tradition continues this year with Project 2001 on Feb. 17. This year's event will again be the largest one-day service project in the history of the University. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., student volunteers will make improvements to Sims Elementary, Springdale Park and sur­ rounding neighborhoods in East Austin. This event has been planned by students from a variety of campus organizations, including Circle K International, Habitat for Humanity, Neighborhood Longhorns Program, Netlmpact, Omega Delta Phi and the UT Student Volunteer Board. Among our invaluable UT supporters are the Volunteer Center, the Office of the Dean of Students, the Physical Plant and the University Residence Halls Association. These UT groups have joined forces with Austin Habitat for Humanity, Austin Independent School District, Austin Parks and Team up with the Student Volunteer Board to help Austin residents Recreation Department, the Citv of Austin, Home Depot and Keep Austin Beautiful to meet the needs of this East Austin neighborhood We have also enjoyed the support of Advance Food Company, BFI, Coca-Cola, HEB, Nextel. TreeFolks and many others. Project 2001 consists of three parts. Sims Elementary is the first; students will be helping to beautify the school grounds. This includes repainting parts of the exterior, reconditioning playground equipment and landscaping court­ yards. To improve safety, railings on portable classrooms will be repaired. As a finishing touch, student artists will transform the bare walls ot the gymnasium into a beautiful mural. The second element of the project is the expan­ sion of Springdale Park Formerly a city dump, this park land has been largely undeveloped. Volunteers will help dear out unattractive and dangerous overgrowth and create a walking trail. Parks Department foresters and environ­ mentalists will be on hand to ensure we do what is best both for the environment and the com­ munity. Lastly, volunteers will be helping to beautify the neighborhood. Keep Austin parts of Beautiful provided a hotline for residents to call requesting help Project 2001 planners organized and prioritized these li-ts, visiting homes and speaking with homeowners The da' s work will include painting the homes of the elderly, dis­ abled and needy residents, a- well as doing minor home repairs. Others will mow and trim refuse. lawns and clear out unwanted N u m e r o u s vacant lots will be emptied of unsightly trash, removing potential hazards tc neighborhood children. Volunteers will be helping this comm unit) with their work and their sheer numbers. Project 2001 will attract the attention of local media and politicians thereby bringing awareness to th* needs of this and similar communities. Ou: efforts as a student bodv will show the powvr of volunteensm to everyone involved and encour­ age continued community service. None of our plans will come to fruition with­ out your help! Sign up today! Volunteers will be provided with transportation, T-shirts, lunch and all the necessary materials to help this com munity.

One of the most popular booths at the event had information on the history of the werewolf — or vikodlak — legends in Russia, a word that first a p p e ared in the Primary Russian Chronicle in 1162 According to the folklore, sure signs that a child would become a vikodlak included a breech birth or being bom with a full set of teeth. Another main point of interest was the toy display, including a collector’s edition Barbie doll wearing a flower-embroidered rubakha, a traditional Russian women's blouse, and a Ken doll dressed in purple and blue camou­ flage and sporting an AK-47. Jean Nicole, a sixth-grader at Bailev Middle School, said her favorite part of the event was the toys. "They're a lot like ours — but a little dif­ ferent," Nicole said. Ruby Jones, a graduate student in Slavic linguistics, said she hoped students gained a greater appreciation of Russian culture after attending the event. "1 hope [the students] see that it's a beautiful language with beautiful peo­ ple," Jones said.

Dnvid Fink Daily Texan Staff Walgreens partners with College of Pharmacy By Celina Moreno Daily Texan Staff live University's College of Pharmacy has -< imcd up with Walgreens pharmacy' to open a 1 itient t an Center in northwest Austin. the project is funded partly bv a $156,700 ed ¡uihonal grant from Walgreens and in part bv th. t 4k ge of Pharmacy'. I he facility', which held its grand opening Monday through Wednesday, wall provide pharmacy students with opportunities to momtor and screen life-altering illnesses. stvíi.-s oftrred at the center, located at '4 It McNeil Drive, include screenings for dialx-ies and osteoporosis, monitoring of car- n a-- a la r disease risks, menopause consul- 1 ,ti« >' ¡ and breast cancer risk assessment. The program is promoting it-- services in its first week and officials hope the accessibility' of Walgreens wall encourage people to get screenings regularly “The goal of the center is to bring people into the health care arena that otherwise have no clue that they are suffering from certain disease states or are at risk,' said Debbie Baggett, Walgreens Austin district pharmacy supervisor. Ty Pham, a fourth year pharmacy' student intern, worked all three days of the grand opening performing hypertension and dia­ betes screenings, talking to Walgreens cus­ tomers and showing them an rund the center. "The center is an awesome concept because when people think of pharmacy, thev don't think of patient contact or care," Pham said. "They think of a hospital rather than a com­ munity' center, so 1 think that the center is a pioneer project and a good opportunity for UT pharmacy students." The center will serve as a site for pharmacy student interns and post-doctoral residency training said Clift Littlefield, associate dean for clinical programs of pharmacy'. "This site is one example of how the college is trying to have a positive impact on the prac­ tice of pharmacy in the community and the cam of people with acute and chronic illness," 1 ittlefield said. While pharmacists' primary goal is to pre­ scribe medication, thev do not want to remain exclusively behind the counter, said Martha White, a clinical assistant professor in the College of Pharmacy who works at the center.

Sen. Jane Nelson, R—Flower Mound, said the obesity rate in Texas children has reached 20-2T percent. Authored by Nelson, Senate Bill 19 proposes that students from kinder­ garten through eighth grade partake in some form of physical activity every school day. 1 he bill also would require schools to provide various health and nutrition p ro grams in order to provide students with an opportunity to create good habits at an earlv age. "It we do not take action to get our children off the couch and into a more active lifestyle, then they are going to pay dearly down the road and so will we all," Nelson said. While officials are currently debating how to ration Texas' overstretched budg­ et, Nelson said the program could be implemented at a low cost. "There is no cost to having a teacher stand up and having those kids exercise for 30 minutes a day," Nelson said. Nelson added that physicians have recently found a form of diabetes in youths that is typically only found in adult men over the age of 40. "These habits of not eating well and not exercising have led to children devel­ oping diabetes at a young age and early signs of heart disease" said Jim Rohack, president of the Texas Medical Association. 1 he Surgeon General has declared epi­ demic levels of obesity among youths nationwide, as well as a doubling of the obesitv rate for adults. Rohack said that a large percentage of the population may not be able to work as a result of prema­ ture complications with diabetes and heart disease. Bill aims to keep guns off school premises Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, wants to close a loop-hole in a state law that allow s people to bring guns into parking lots of rexas schools Current state law prohibits carrying guns into school buildings, but does not cover surrounding areas such as the parking lots, walkwavs and sidewalks. Senate Bill 402 would extend the defi­ nition ot school premises to those areas as well V iolation of the proposed law would be considered a felony and would t arn an automatic 10-year sentence. V licensed person carrying a concealed handgun would be exempted from the law as would a person with a rifle or shotgun in his or her car immediately before or after engaging in hunting or other gun-related sporting activities on school premises for a short period. However, both Sen. Teel Bivins, R- Amarillo and Sen. Mike Moncrief, D-Fort Worth, felt the "temporary" term was too vague, and that the law would unwit­ tingly target legitimate hunters. "W e ju s t need to make sure that we don't cast the net too wide," Moncrief said. Zaffirini said that the bill was aimed primarily at gangs and not intended to affect hunters or other sportsmen. Sen. fodd Staples, R-Palestine, said he is concerned that classes such as physical education and RO TC that use guns in an academic setting would interfere with enforcing such a law. Sen. Kenneth Armbrister, D-Victoria, Criminal Justice committee chairman, recommended that the bill be sent back to Zaffirini for a re-write to clarify some ot the controversial wordings.

Don't use the phone while driving. It is not only distracting but it can hurt others. In situations where you must use the phone, pull over or use a headset so that your hands are free. Do not speak louder on a cell phone than you wold on a regular phone. When signals are cut, speaking louder does not help.

Galvan frequently uses her cell phone to call her friends and family. Unity Peterson Dally Texan Staff " I like my microphone device, that 1 hook up to m y cell phone, because now' 1 can drive with both hands on the wheel," Galvan said. M any believe driving while talking on a mobile phone is dangerous despite the new technology'. M ike Campos, a highway patrol trooper at the Austin district office, said cell phones can contribute to accidents. "You don't want to blame the people who drive with microphones, but 1 imagine that it does cause accidents," Campos said. "It falls under the same category as curling your hair or putting on makeup while driving." Concerns over driving with mobile phones have garnered support for bills or laws restrict­ ing mobile phone use w'hile driving. However, there are not any laws or bills currently filed. As mobile phones continue to advance with more features, their popularity continues to soar. A new feature that is expected to be pop­ ular with students is a mobile messenger fea­ ture, which allows users to send messages to each other using the cell phone rather than a keypad. "W e just launched our mobile messenger feature, which we think w ill be really big with students," 1 larris said. It is too early to tell if messaging w ill be the next boom among students. If it is successful, the typical cell phone scenario may shift to stu­ dents messaging each other in class rather than having their phones ringing.

King plans China bout for winner of Holyfield-Ruiz WBA title fight N EW 7 Y O R K — Don King, who modestly compares his 30-year journey through boxing with Mao Tse-tung's Long March, plans to pro­ mote the first heavyweight title fight in China. "M ao really taught me how to survive in this jungle,' King said Wednesday in announdng a match in Beijing featuring the winner of Evander Holvfield's W B A title defense against John Ruiz on March 3 at Las Vegas. An oppinent w ill be named later. The tentative date is June 30. "It's a major announcement just to be able to wet the appetite of all Americans and one billion, 300 million Chinese," King bellowed. "This is not just a prize fight, this is an adventure." Calling the fight a milestone in relations between China and the United States, King said he planned to "invite my good friend, President George W. Bush and my brother, Gen. Colin Powe A television deal is yet to be made. It is possi­ ble the fight w ill be shown by Showtime, which w ill carry the Holyfield-Ruiz bout on pay-per- view. Showtime also did a delayed telecast of a heavyweight match last A p ril 22 between Andrew Golota and Marcus Rhode at Guangzhou, China, when Golota stopped Rhode in the third round. King w ill co-promote the fight with The Great W all International Sports Media Co. of China. N iu Lixin, chairman of the board of The Great W all International, said a contract was signed last week with King following lengthy negotiations. "Ninety-six days of negotiations with Don King Productions is tough, but it is interesting," Lixin said through an interpreter. Jay Larkin, who runs boxing for Showtime, attended but was not part of the news conference. " I have no idea what all this is about vet," Larkin said. "W e hope to start talking now." Larkin added that he hoped to "go to China after the March 3 fight to make a site survey" A title defense by Holyfield in China could be a pay-per-viewr production, but a defense by Ruiz would be seen in the United States on tape-delay basis.

" I hey' 11 be able to be in the end zone and, hopefully, some of them around the court. W e're excited about it." The first phase is estimated to cost somewhere in the $2.5 to $3 m illion dollar range, according to Plonsky, and w ould be a manageable price tag when accounting for ticket sales, advertising revenue, and the sale of about 200 prem ium seats. These pre­ mium seats are already selling for $4,000 to $5,000 each, plus the price of the actual game ticket, Plonsky said. I he Erw in Center has been criti­ cized in the past for not being a fan- friendly enough environm ent and for not catering to students. Part of the reason for the rem odeling of the facility is to get student fans more involved in the games. 'I think our students really want to be a part of this," Barnes said. "A nd now' w e 'll have a chance to give them w hat I think they w ant - and that's to be down close on the action and be a part of the action." level the upper In the long run, the overall project w ill include several phases, such as rem odeling to include more luxury suites and bet­ ter restroom and concession facili­ ties. There are also hopes to add video cap ab ilities to the E rw in Center, m aking the arena much more modern. "There are grand plans to make facility," first-class the arena a Also in the long-range plans is the construction of a basketball practice facility, including a practice court, new locker rooms, and a players lounge. Currently, the H orns prac­ tice schedule revolves around what events are scheduled at the Erw in Center for any given week. I he Iexas basketball teams m ight practice at the E rw in Center one day, the Rec Sports Center the next, and G regory G ym the follow in g day. Reserving an hour of practice tim e at G reg ory or the Rec Center costs more than $300 per hour, even for the Horns. The practice facility has not vet been designed or approved, but according to Plonsky, an area that re being looked at is on the south side of the Erw in Center, where loading docks and parking lots are located. The docks and lots w ould need to rem ain because they are used w hen­ ever concerts, circuses, or produc­ tions bring trucks to the E rw in Center. But there is some space that might be a possible building location for the practice facility. "The facility itself is on our front burner right now'," Plonsky said. The overall plans to make the E rw in Center a more modern, fan- friendlv place to play are something that Texas players are especially excited about.

D ALLAS — Mike Modano snapped a tie with 55.9 seconds left and also had two assists to become the leading scorer in Stars' history as Dallas beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 Wednesday night. Modano has 8 6 9 career points, two better than previ­ ous franchise leader Neal Broten, who played when the franchise w'as in Minnesota. Bob Corkum's primarily ^ r»* w power-play goal with 13:50 left lifted the Kings into a 2-2 tie. But Modano scored his 20th goal of the season from the left circle oft the arm of Kings goalie Steve Passmore. Jere Lehtinen, who scored into an empty net with 25.7 seconds remain­ ing, gave the Stars a 2-1 lead with 18:59 left. Modano earned an assist to tie Broten. Modano passed to Lehtinen, who skated down the nght side and s<*nt the puck toward the net from a sharp angle. The shot went in off the stick of Passmore. Corkum beat Stars goalie Ed Belfour from low in the right circle for his fourth goal of the season. Seconds earlier, Modano's blistering shot from Modano also assisted on Lehtinen's empty-net goal. Darryl Svdor of the Stars and Mathieu Schneider of the K i n g s trad ed second-period goals The Stars opened a strek h of five their consecutive home games, longest of the season.

After the game, Dallas coach Ken Hitchcock accused the Kings of mocking the Stars in the third period, blaming Kings coach And\ M u m Murray contends that the K i n g s were laughing at an inside joki that had nothing to do with the Stars. The Stars took a 1-0 lead at 12:0* of the second period on Svdoi s ¡ >< n\» r- plav rebound. The K in g s tied it 1 4 9 later when Schneider's attempt to p a s s the puck high toward the net went in off the tace of Sydor.

C H A R L O T T E S V I L L E , Va. — Adam Hall picked up a loose ball and scored with 0.9 seconds to play W ednesday night as No. 12 Virginia ended No. 3 Duke s ACC-record 24- gam e road winning streak, 91-89. I he Cavaliers (17-6, 6-6) had lost 12 straight to the Blue Devils. But they dramatically stemmed a tide of failure left by consecutive road loss­ e s last w eek after clim bing to No. 6 in the nation.

D u ke (22-3, 10-2) tried a length-of- the-court pass in the final 0.9 sec­ onds. but Hall knocked it away, pro m pting the wild celebration. For Virginia, it was the biggest victory in years, and coach Pete Gillen, with the court packed with fans, took the microphone to say thanks. T a i li n g 89-87, Duke got the ball with 24.8 seconds left and called timeout. With 14.3 seconds to go, 1 lali touled Shane Battier, and the senior calmly made both. Virginia had one last chance in Roger M ason drove the length of the court, being hounded by Chris Duhon, then darted toward the bas­ ket, meeting a m ass of bodies. The ball cam e loose, but Hall was there. Virginia w ent ahead to stay w ith 4:33 left on M ason's second 3-point­ er in a span o f 90 seconds, giving the Cavaliers an 81-81) edge. Hall followed 26 seconds later w'ith a rim-rockin g dunk after a feed from Donald Hand. Then the teams remained within four of each other the rest of the way, with Virginia try­ ing to seal victory from the tree throw line. I he Cavaliers were 4-for-6 from the line in the final 2:02, while Duke, which hit 13 3-pointers in the game, stayed mostly outside. The victory avenged a 103-61 loss at Durham N.C., on Jan. 13 for the Cavaliers, w h o trailed 53-20 during that hu m iliating experience. This time, they never trailed by more th an six in ending D u k e 's road w inning streak, which extended to Feb. 8, 1998 at North Carolina State.

Hopefully, though, K issinger will approach dais commercial success via radii w ith caution. It w ould be tragi­ cally in me it the band became pigeon­ holed into crap-in-a-cookie-cutter pre- dictability since C hoppt'r placed bass in none other than Vertical H ori/on. lect gets com pared I hat Kissinger g e ts , < im pared to The Cars m ore often than our President- to Alfred E.

C ho p p er's checkered m usical past helps explain this tendency, as well as the sense of distance on Charm. It's h ard to tell w hether lines like "Lets Go to The Mall" or a song called "Urbia" (about the mall scene) are delivered in sincerity'. N ot to sav that he is insincere, b u t the subject m atter does seem fil­ tered across a third-person narrator — an adult \oice both aloof and partici­ patory’. "W hen I w en t to high school," C hopper said, "1 d id n 't listen to m uch rock music. I got into jazz. I w as a trum pet player and a stand-up bass player. Miles Davis, John C oltrane and W ynton Marsalis changed m y life. As I got older and I played bass, 1 w as in all sorts of bands - country, metal, punk. W hat started to becom e a com m on thread w as telling a story in a song." tired them es of A nd the stories as told on Chann play with the endless repititions of commercial radio, tw eaking and sub­ v ertin g teenage romance ("Girl on the Bus") and male libido ("This OT Possum"). They raise the level of m ass-m arket-w orthy m ate­ rial u p to the (underestim ated) intelli­ gence and m aturity level of teenagers This is cute-but-not-too-cute stuff that "kids" (and college kids) can listen to and not feel like som e oversized 6th grader. Take "Rock n Roll Asshole" tor example: a song that never takes its e lf tcx> seriously, but still paints a prettv ugh portrait of guys and gals w ho take themselves too seriously (you know, like the Oasis gu\'s). Kissinger spent three long years m aking Chann w ith the help of pro­ ducer John Croslin (Pavement, G uided by Voices, 16 Deluxe, Spoon). "1 think [Croslin] added a tinge of indie-rock to K issinger's sound. And the sheen on th at's Croslin's expertise." the album - Even w ithout the resources of a eash-cow label, the band has achieved the seamless studio sparkle that is the hallmark of their com mercial contem ­ poraries. But as a certain elder m usi­ cian once said: you get a w hole lifetime to m ake vour first album , and 18 m onths for \o u r next. Kissinger is in an interesting situa­ tion. O n one hand, they have the potential of taking the well-trodden u p w a rd trajectory p u rsu ed by so m any bands: achieving commercial success, playing to m ad hordes of little- consumers-to-be, cashing in on their ability to play the P op gam e. Or, they can take the road-less-traveled: m ak­ ing pop music intelligent enough to capitalize on the allure of catchy tunes w ithout sacrificing originality. "YVe could go anyw here in the coun­ try and find the sam e thing [in the mails]. 1 found a lot of interesting expe­ riences there,’ C hopper said. Potentially the subtle subversion of the type of bland Pop sold in the mall could m ake Kissinger a slv hood- w inker, loved by critics and kids alike. Rock adds culture to 'Kart 11 ROCK, from 16 w as perfect loi him. W»x>dy Allen's best m ovie is probably A nnie I lull and, y o u know, m e playing a com edian was nat­ ural. I’laving a bad one w as even bet­ ter." Dffivti to I arth is Rock's first leading role, after taking on supporting parts in films like Li’tluil Weapon 4, Dogma and Nurse Betty. Nuise Betty w as Rock's first sem i-dram atic role, an d he said while he loves doing dram a, h e'd never w ant to star in one. I think that's cheating the audience. I hat s using your audience," Rock said. "People w ho like m e w an t to laugh. If 1 m et a girl, and we used to just have sex, I d o n 't w ant to hang out w ith her. If all w e ever did w as have sex, we never hung out, w hy w ould I just w ant to hang out?" he said. "1 think the best experience you can have in a theater is laughing — or having sex. S>, why go through that? A nybody can do drama. There's only, like, eight funny guys, and there are a million actors." Rock — w ho wrote, produced and stars in Doien to Earth — decided to hire diameters Chris and Paul Weitz for his first starring vehicle after seeing their film American Pie. The brothers, whose big break arrived after w riting lc>98's Antz, said thcit despite Rock's m any responsibilities they still m anaged to bring som ething to the equation. after having "We brought him his coffee in the m orning," Paul said. "No, 1 think the great thing about C h n s is that he is extremely self-critical and he w ants to be directed, and for us it w as fun to try — taken basically u nknow ns and trying to learn how to m ake a film with those actors — to take som ebody w ho has been in great sup­ porting roles in films, b u t w ho hasn't really carried a film yet, an d try to see if w e could help him do that." Most fam ous for rocketing actors like Jason Biggs and Tara Reid to stardom w ith 1999's quinte 'ssential teen sex com­ edy American Pie, the brothers realized that, in term s of the w ork thev do w ith­ in the studio system, they w ould even­ tually have to w ork w ith an established star. "That having been said, w e w anted to w ork with the sanest star available and Chris was really great," Weitz said. "It w ould have been easier — at least easier in terms of the responsibilities and expectations — for u s to try to take a bunch of relative u n k n o w n s and m ake a film with them than to have a film in which there is a kind tit very charismatic presence w ho is the focus of attention." The Weitzes said it w as weird to w atch Rock play a com edic failure, con­ sidering the attention he has receiv ed as one of the m ost talented A m erican stand-up comedians "The funny thing is, he's playing a lousy stand-up comic, and w e had the experience of w heeling him o ut onstage at the A pollo and having a thousand people boo at him," Paul said. "And the great thing was, he w as w illing to do that. 1 think it's smart, too, because one tends to root tor the underdog, so it it w as a m ovie about a hip stand-up comic all thev way through, it w ould be a concert film." Both Rock and the Weitz brothers ad d ed a cultural elem ent to Doivti to Earth that w as m issing from / ieavni Can Wait and its predecessor, 1941's Here tom es Mr. Jordan. However, Paul said the m essage of the film is reallv a m atter of "it's w hat is on the inside that counts." "W hat w e w ere rem em bering was the feeling of seeing Heaven Can Wait, and this sort of w onderful rom ance b etw een Beatty a n d Julie C hristie, which w as largely formed by off screen perceptions," Paul said. "That m ade m e really w ant to d o this movie, and it m ade Chris afraid of doing this m ovie," he said. "It m ade me w an t to d o it because I rem em bered that it w as one of the first movies w ith adult them es that I saw w hen I w as a kid and it m ade m e think in different w ays. A nd I thought well, if a kid goes and sees this movie, they'll be thinking about spiritu­ al things about A m erican culture w hich are presented — well, the pill is hidden w ithin the humor, but 1 liked the huge add ed ele­ m en t o f Chris Rock doing it." tilings, b u t also W hile directing the film, the Weitz. brothers said they took a lot of su g g es­ tions from Rock, especially w hen it came to film ing the stand-up scenes at the Apollo. "We d id n 't go u p to the A pollo Theater w ith Chris Rock and say 1 lev, Chris, here's how it is man, let m e tell you,"' Paul said. "W hat was exciting for m e w as to learn about that stuff in this situation, to get show n that world, to get show n the Apollo Theater bv Chris Rock. The interesting thing, tix>, sur* of theoretically, looking at Chris Rock s real-life story to a slight degree, it's akin to the story in the movie. It's like, here' a guy w ho is now really fam ous and quite wealthy, w ho comes from a com ­ pletely' different background." Rock said that he tixik m atters into his ow n hands to be cast as that charac­ te r a type of romantic role that he believ es eludes m ost African-American actors. "You gotta write," Rock said. "N o one w ould have w rote this m ovie for me in a million vears. No one writes black rom antic comedies. We did Nurse Betty, and M organ Freem an kisses Renee. That w as the first tim e he has ever kissed a w om an on-screen. So, you gotta write. C hazz w ent through the sam e thing. No one was going to w nte A Bronx Tale for him, no one w as going to cast him in that part I fc wrote it and they had to use him . 1 got som e guys, w e w rote a m o\ ie, thev had no choice." f out of ru T r * | ^ \ ! s tu d e n ts !! • Don’t Drink m m an’t Drink and Drive id T hw p • Have 0-3 Drinks When They Party I m “ Simply follow 3 EASY steps Now, THEE taxi rides are just a click away!

Revettgetime.com From the Amazing Jo hnathan — a magic com edian billed as the Freddy Krueger of Am erican comedy — comes a small but use­ ful animated site dedicated to pulling the perfect prank on your friends for fun or for spite. I Ire pranks are sectioned off into two categories: Fun and Serious. The "f u n " pages are those pranks that you play on friends that do not inspire them to murder you with a rolling pin and a rottweiler — the "serious" pages, howev er, provoke the oppo­ site reaction. People with short attention spans, how ev­ er, might start pulling their hair out it thev came to this site just to plot revenge. Since it's it takes a while to explain the animated, whole trick quickly but it goes through each step carefully, even explaining the logic and reasoning behind why certain minute details can backfire a plot to publicly embarrass your victim. Design seems to be this site's largest effort. The entire system is run with Shockwave show ing a very unique look with dark black- lined icons interfacing with textured back­ ground of black and white film and wood boards. The animations even seem to dance to the 30s retro tunes played in the back­ ground such as Spike Jo n /e 's wackv song parody You A lw ays Hurt the One You Love. The tricks seem to work pretty well. Just ask my roommate who hasn't been to take a shower without fear for the last tew weeks. O ne of the easier pranks to pull off involves a video camera, a bathroom and a group ot your closest friends. W hat vou do is film some footage of your bathroom from a high corner to imply the effect of a hidden video camera, and save it on tape to play on your VCR. Then, say, at a party when your victim goes to the bathroom, you put the bathroom footage tape in your VCR and wait tor the victim to come out. When he or she sees what everyone is w atching on the TV, find some­ thing heav v to defend yourself w itli and then laugh about it w ith your friends. The pranks aren't in abundance, but the few that are here are sure to make somebody squeal. The A venger It there s one thing that's most important to public humiliation, it's research. You have to know how your victim would react in cor tain situations, when and where they are every moment of the day and if thev would kill another human being that would try to m ake them look stupid in front of other peo­ ple. I he Avenger also believ es at least the first two parts of that last sentence to b e true. Revenge sits in the front seat at this site. 1 here are jokes and pranks to pull on your friends in practically everv section ot the page. You can actually dow nload a hand­ book written bv the site's Webmaster on get­ ting even with your enemies with using everything from long distance c a l l s to super glue. \ isuallv, the ote is about as interesting as a William I Bucklev sitcom There aren't any pictures to spice up the design A dep-by- step picture page u! at least sonv of the pranks would be helpful especial 1\ tor the more d a n g e r o u s ones that involve firecrack­ ers and frozen carbon dioxide, a gaseous hq uid t ha t fiee. es objects to the point where you can break them with a hammei If I’om Green and Som e ot the pranks are also a bit on the m ean side. Jo hnny Knoxville had their D N A splin d, the w eird biological zygote wouldn t have the cajones to pull oft one of the stunts proposed here. For example: the si te suggests faking a preg­ nancy at a wedding reception to get back at the groom ex-boyfriend by stuffing a pillow under your d r e s s , and it even proposed phoning a take bomb threat to vour dorm to get back at that annoy mg college roommate.

They could hate me too. I could be O.J." — C H R IS ROCK. on fame and fan reaction The Air Up There Chris Rock and company tell what went down on ‘Earth’ By Erin Steele Daily Texan Staff Critics have said Chris Rock is inspired by the caustic, truth-tackling wit of Richard Pryor. They've said he is iaspiax.1 bv the charismatic energy of Eddie Murphy. But recently, the acclaimed comic has discovered a new source of inspiration: the edgy, comedic talents o f ... Warren Beatty? N ot only is the com edian inspired by Beattv's talent, but is in fact his latest incarna­ tion. In Rock’s newest him Down to Earth, he plays a man who — Heav en-bound before his time — returns to Earth to capture the heart of the w om an he loves, a persona Beattv former­ ly assumed in 1978's Heaven Can Wait. In both films, Rock and Beattv are forced to inhabit dif­ ferent bodies — in Rock's case, his new form is that of 53-year-old w h ite m illion- , a ir Wellington. Rock w asn't conscious of the popular romantic com edy until a couple of years ago, when he met Beatty to discuss the possibility of playing a role in Beatty's polities-meets-race satire Bulworth. "I watched Heaven Can Wait one dav after meeting with Warren. I had met Warren Beattv, but I had never seen Heaven Can Wait; I just thought he was this guy who made hhtar and Bugsy and Dick Tracy. I didn't know the legend of Warren Beatty. I watched a bunch of his movies, Rock said. "I watched Reds, and Shampoo, and I watched Heaven Can Wait, and I was like 'Oh my God, this would be so great for Richard Pryor.' This is a great set-up." by making his character Lance Barton a come­ dian. It wasn't a conscious decision to play a stand-up," Rock said. "/After watching Heaven Can Wait, I really tackled with the idea of play­ ing an athlete, but I'm so small — what would 1 be? A soccer player? A jockey? Trust me, that was bantered around. That would have been too jokey, too 'ha-ha,' and I needed people to sympathize with me." Audience sympathy arises from Barton's — who is nicknamed "Booey" by his fellow' comedians — tendency to get booed off the stage at the Apollo Theater's Am ateur Night. Rock said it wasn't a stretch to showcase Barton's inept humor. "If I got paid for the jokes that didn't work, I'd be Donald Trump," R o c k s a id . "I've been booed — it's really not that bad. Silence, that's the worst. At least booing is a reaction. I treat the crowd like you treat vour women — w om en don't mind when you argue. They hate it when you don't argue." Although he's known for his stand-up, Rock never considered in Pryor or Murphy's footsteps by making a film reminis­ cent of Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip or Raw. following "None of those movies came to m ind," Rock said. "I'm thinking Annie Hall, that's what my head said: 'I'm going for the top, man.' You want to have a vehicle for yourself where you can best show your talents. 1 think of it like The Wedding Singer. Adam Sandler was on SNL, singing his silly songs, and most peo­ ple would say his best movie was rhe Wedding Singer, because it See ROCK, Page 14 Hello, Again No, this isn’t about that film starring Shelley Long and a before-he-had-pride Gabriel Byrne. Instead, we proudly present a discussien with Down to Earth cast members Eugene Levy. Chazz Palminteri and Chris Rock about their thoughts on reincarnation and who would be allowed entry into the pearly gates. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON REINCARNATION? LEVY: “The fact that life goes on is not a bad thing, but it’s kind of scary to think of coming back as someone else. You know. I've always thought about the concept of reincarnation and I could be right now going through a life that I had a hundred years ago. And a hundred years ago I was think­ ing, 'If I was to come back. I'd be a guy who just lives in this town, and grows up doing this, and becomes an actor.' and whoa, that's a scary thought. So. it's almost scary, because I like my life. I like who I am. Can’t we just come back as the same person?” PALMINTERI: “I think we do come back as other people. I've had experiences, I’m very spiritual. I think of my life and I think I’m somebody who didn't get it right at one time and who’s trying to get it right this time. I really feel like that sometimes. We do come back, absolutely, as a different spir- it, a different person. When you finally do get it right, you go to Heaven. Until then, you gotta keep coming back. ROCK: “Life is tiring enough — I would hate to have to live it again. That’s just exhaust­ ing. If we were all here before, nothing would get done, we would all be so tired.” IF YOU RAN THE PEARLY GATES. WHO WOULD BE GRANTED ENTRY AND WHO WOULDN'T? PALMINTERI: “I would let in my friend Robert De Niro right away, ‘cause I admire his commitment to arts and excellence. He’s a good man, I think I would let him in right away. Someone I wouldn't let in? I gotta think about that.” LEVY: "I would let in my friend Marty Short because he is very well connected. He’s 1 ends wth a lot of the heavyweight people, and that would put me in good standing up there as well." PALMINTERI: “I would also let in Bruce Springsteen, he's a good friend of mine. Who I wouldn't let in? Probably some studio executive or something." «MCE CIINTM & Parliament/Funkadelic live Sports Action from the Erwin Center!
