To the P a lestin ia n lead ers, m any of them former guerrillas, the vote signaled the begin n in g of the end of a 32-year, often violent struggle for statehood.

"T h is is a message from the fighters to the world and the Israeli people that we can take a step forward toward peace." In a show of hands, the council voted 504-54 with 14 abstentions to revoke all clauses in the 1964 PLO founding char­ ter that call for the elimination of Israel. The cou ncil decided all a rticles o f the PLO ch a rter that co n tra d ict le tters of mutual recognition exchanged by Israel and the PLO in 1993 would be abolished and that work should begin on w riting a new charter. T h e v o te w as h eld b e h in d clo se d doors and there was no debate. Several PNC m em bers ran up to the podium afterward and hugged and kissed a hag­ gard-looking Arafat. Peres — running neck and neck with h a r d -lin e B e n ja m in c h a lle n g e r Netanyahu in the cam paign for Israel's M ay 29 presidential election — needed a clear Palestinian stand against violence to help persuade an increasingly skepti­ cal Israeli electorate that Arafat is seri­ ous about reconciliation. An elated Peres said the vote proved Arafat w as a partner for peace. "P eople always asked, 'Can you trust Arafat?' It em erges that he can be trust­ ed ," Peres said.

Eight of the 16 candidates running for the three available council seats were at a forum sponsored by Students for Earth Awareness, University Green Party and VOICE, a group aimed at increasing stu­ dent participation in local elections. Place 4 candidate Beverly Griffith sent a campaign representative to the forum in her place. Because the forum was run primarily by student m em bers o f environm ental groups, candidates spent m ost of their time answ ering questions on what they w ould do to protect the city 's natural resources. Daryl Slusher, a former columnist for the Austin Chronicle and a Place 1 candi­ date, was quick to point out in his open­ ing speech that he is no friend to devel­ opers in the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. As a colum nist, Slush er w rote a number of articles against com panies — particularly Freeport-M cM oRan Inc. — that want to build on the aquifer. "I am the only candidate in any of the ra ces th at [F re e p o rt C h ie f E x e cu tiv e O fficer] Jim Bob M offett has w ritten a letter threatening to sue," Slusher said. Slusher went on to point out that one o f his o p p o n en ts, Je ff H art, receiv ed political donations from Strasburger and P rice, L im ited L ia b ility P a rtn e rs , an Austin law firm that represents Freeport. But Hart, an attorney specializing in oil and gas litigation, pointed out that Freeport accounts for only a very' small percentage of the law firm 's business. Hart said Slusher is trying to trick voters in to th in k in g h e is c o n n e c te d w ith Freeport. "I think fiie voters are too smart to fall for that sort of rhetoric," said Hart, who is presi­ dent of the Austin Rowing Club, a group that advocates keeping Town Lake clean. All the can d id ates said they agreed s o m e th in g n e e d s to b e d o n e to fix A u stin 's tran sp ortation problem s, but they could not com e to a consensus on what actions should be taken. Place 1 candidate Eric Silvemale, a for­ m er liq u o r sto re ow n er, said th e city needs to expand its mass transit program and get to work on a light-rail system But o th e r ca n d id a te s, like R ich a rd Wheeler, a retired Air Force officer, said the City Council needs to cut the Capital M etropolitan Transit Authority's budget to save taxpayer money.

Both Boyles and Anna Buchanon M iller, SG presid ent in 1945, have addressed som e of the same issues, and w h ile M ille r fo u g h t th e UT S y s te m B o a rd o f R e g e n ts as it p u sh ed o u t the U T p re s id e n t, Boyles pushed the current president to take greater notice of students. " I 'm not u n d er th e im p ressio n that the adm inistration — the upper e c h e lo n — re a lly p aid a tte n tio n befo re," B oyles said. She said she thinks she surprised the administra­ tion by being a demanding student, but maybe they w ere surprised that she is a demanding woman. "T h e advocacy style that 1 have taken — I don't think it would have been noticed or commented upon if I were a guy," she said. W om en in electe d p o sitio n s on ca m p u s say th ey o fte n fe e l they must exhibit what they see as mas­ culine traits to get ahead and sacri­ fice friendships if they speak their m inds.

Miller said Wallace spent too much time fighting the Board of Regents, w h ich w as tr y in g to o u st UT President Homer Rainey, and w ork­ ing to pay for school. W allace gave M iller, then Anna Buchanon, a pair of spurs that the SG p resid en t trad itio n ally turned over to his successor the evening he resigned. “They're good for regent- sticking," he had said An article in the next day's Daily Texan stated : “ A fter th e m eetin g, incidentally, [new ly appointed SG Vice President Marvin] Wise, amid d ue an n o u n cem en t, b esto w ed an a u th o r ita tiv e p eck on M iss B u ch a n o n 's b lu sh in g foreh ead to becom e 'the first boy in history to k is s a p r e s id e n t o f th e s tu d e n t bod y.'" But flirtation is not a thing of the past. Boyles said she has used flirta­ tion to get to know adm inistrators and get things accom plished . She said she jokes around with men in the athletic department, whom she persu ad ed to g iv e stu d en ts m ore seating at basketball games. "If there is a little bit of flirtation, that is okay," she said Boyles said the flirtation is not sexual in nature, but a way of showing that she likes the male adm inistrators she works with, in the sam e way a male stu- d e n t m i g h t j o k e a r o u n d a b o u t s p o r t s w i t h m a l e ad m in is­ t r a t o r s .

She said he com m ented over a cup of coffee afterward* that the dis­ cussion was silly. Miller said she came to the same re a liz a tio n and said , "A w ar is going on. We are not supposed to be worrying about this trivia " M iller said the war had shrunk the University's enrollment, which was why she ran unopposed. The University saw not only its first female student body president that year, but also a woman as Texan edi­ tor for the first time. Helene Wilke was the first female editor, serving during the 1944-1945 school year. "They had about a 46-year lead on us — all men," editor-elect Tara Copp said. "I think I'm really mas­ culine. I think the women that work at the paper are masculine. If they aren't, they drop out. ... You have to be tough to hang there." Copp called h er a g g re ssiv e , dauntless, laid-back style "m ascu­ line." She said those same qualities made Boyles successful. "I th in k I'm pretty a ss e rtiv e ," Boyles said. "I d on 't think I'm a bitch." SG Vice President Brian Feld said most students and adm inistrators did not expect Boyles to be such a force on campus. "I think a lot of it had to do with that she was petite, blonde," he said. Jason Itkin, who served as liberal arts representative under Boyles, said he was taken aback by h er. "She's tough," he said. But V ice P resid en t of Stu d en t Affairs Jim Vick said Boyles' tenaci­ ty came as no surprise to him. "In g en eral, p eop le who h ave been student government president h ave ten d ed to be focu sed and hard-working, or they wouldn't be there," he said. Boyles was effective in influencing administrative policy, he said , and im p ro v in g co n tact betw een the governm ent and the administration. Feld said gender is not an issue for the government. "Sherry's atti­ tu d e, d em ean o r and le a d ersh ip style have a lot to do w ith it not being an issue," he said. But Marisol Espinosa, who served as Communications Agency direc­ tor under Boyles, said women in the g o v ern m en t h ave a hard tim e breaking into the group of mostly male SG officers. "I was marginalized because I was very outspoken and very opinionat­ ed and I was a w om an," she said. "Sherry was an exception because she had been there so long. ... Nobody could deny her entrance into this club. She was an exception. She is a skilled politician. I'm not." Espinosa said it is difficult to be an assertive woman. "There are consequences to pay. That's one of the things I've learned," she said. People gravitate away from assertive women, and people who were once the woman's friends dis­ a p p e a r , she said. Boyles said she keeps her profes­ sional self separate from her em o­ tional self. Her friends would be surprised to watch her at work at the government, and most SG mem­ bers know littlelabout her private life, she said. Boyles said she does not fall into tra­ ditional female roles as SG president "I don't talk about relationships enough," she said. "I'm extremely task-oriented." W hile B oyles said the go v ern ­ m ent has had a tendency to be a boys' club in the past, it was a "very female-friendly environment" while she was president. Buchanon also said she enjoyed serving in the government. "I loved every second of my three months, knowing, tongue in cheek, that it wasn't the end of the world if I failed," she said.

"L o ts of question s were asked and due process was given to the operation," Abboud said. Additions to the curriculum will include two new lower-division cul­ tural classes and, for the first time, the department will offer a summer course. Two new bachelor of arts degrees will be implemented as well. Abboud said these additions will p rovid e m ore reso u rces for s tu ­ dents. "I truly believe we are here to serve stu d e n ts. [The sp lit] w ill enable us to focus on ways to serve the students," he said. Abboud said greater name recog­ nition on campus will be essential to recruit new students to the depart­ ment. "It is very important that this department be brought to the aware­ ness of students," he said. "It takes a long time to bring a new entity to the consciousness of students." Dylan Oehler-Stricklin, a gradu­ ate student in the department, said she has not noticed a change in the d ep artm en t, b u t added that she supports the move because it is now under a more accurate title. Professors in the Department of M iddle E astern L an gu ages and Cultures said the split is beneficial. "In academ ics we are trying to make our mark. By being by our­ selves, we w ould be m ore in the limelight. When you are in a smaller group, you get more attention. I félt like the [Department of Oriental and African Languages] was too big and I felt a little bit lost." Attiah said. Michael Hillman, a Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures professor, said the independence of the depart­ ment will give professors more access to the decision making processes. "It's like owning your own busi­ ness as opposed to running a con­ cession in a department store," he said. "W e h ave m ore of a d irect voice in our future." Olasky: Professor searches for ways to help urban poor Continued from page 1 program s developed in the 19th century onward. The first portion of his latest book reco u n ts th is h isto ry again and evaluates more deeply the situation of th o se cu rren tly on w elfare. "Government programs are empha­ sizing bureaucracy and entitlement rather than challenge," Olasky said. Though the book's view is con­ servative — the foreward was writ­ ten by H ouse Sp eak er N ew t Gingrich — Olasky said he does not consider it to be a political piece. "I'm trying to appeal to people who want to fight poverty effective­ ly," Olasky said. "This should not be a Republican thing. I would like this to be bipartisan." O lasky added that he has met with Democratic leaders in the U.S. Senate to discuss his ideas, particu­ larly support for proposed tax cred­ its for 90 percent of the donations made to organizations that provide direct social services to the poor. The 90 p ercen t cred it w ould be given across the board, regardless of the tax bracket of the individual making the donation. O lasky said h is pro p osed tax credit could be used for the private establishment of scholarships and schools for economically disadvan­ taged children and would be more convenient than current tax deduc­ tions. "Most people don't itemize their in com e taxes, so they c a n 't u se them," he said. In the book Olasky cites several governm ental program s used in certain states that he said are more effective because they require indi­ viduals to hold a job, but still miss the m ark b ecau se they do n ot address spirituality. He added that he supports pro­ posals for the government to fund programs only if they can keep a significant number of their clients employed a year after leaving the program . "Y o u w ant to pay for resulte, not good intentions." Olasky's three years of historical research for The Tragedy o f American Com passion led him to records of philanthropic efforts more than a century ago and mostly forgotten even in library records. "I started roam ing around the bowels of the Library of Congress," he said, "sometimes literally blow­ ing dust o ff old books and docu­ ments." In his research Olasky traveled across the nation, studying both governmental and private institu­ tions established to help the eco­ nomically disadvantaged, and visit­ ing in n e r-c ity co m m u n ities in W ash in g to n , so u th c en tra l Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and other cities. Olasky said he is eager to resume teaching this summer, though he values the experiences he gained through h is trav els to research poverty in America. "I met a lot of heroes and hero­ ines in the inner cities," he said. "It has been insp irational. I'm more hopeful about what's doable." O lasky said e ffo rts to re lie v e poverty in the United States are having some success. "T h e re are w on d erfu l th in g s going on and they are private, faith- based and underfunded," he said. Olasky has taught journalism at the University since 1983. He is the author of 11 books on the press and corporate philanthropy and has co­ authored six others.

S peaker N ew t G ingrich and M ajority Leader Dick Armey issued a written state­ ment as the White House and congression­ al D em ocrats, pressing an election-year cause, escalated their attacks. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., called raising the minimum wage, now pegged at $4.25 an hour, "a moral issue." The statem ent by Gingrich, R-Ga., and Armey, R-Texas, outlined several alterna­ tives to increase take-home pay. They said the H ouse w ould vote later this year on a package that m ight include several provisions, possibly including the following: a tax cut, including the $500- p er-ch ild tax cred it the p a rty h as long advocated; tax incentives for businesses to create m ore jobs and possibly a govern­ ment subsidy for some workers currently at the $4.25-an-hour m inimum wage. It was not clear what, if any, effect the decision would have in the Senate, where Bob Dole, the m ajority leader as well as presum ptive GOP presidential nominee, is also un d er pressure to schedule a m ini­ mum wage vote. "R ep u b lican s k n o w th a t lo w -w a g e w o rk ers an d th eir fam ilies su ffer m ost from the destructive policies of big govern­ ment," Gingrich and Armey said. "That is w hy we will bring to the floor legislation that will enable all Americans to earn more and keep more of what they earn, so they can do more for their families and commu­ nities." The list m ade no mention of the mini­ m um wage measure. Asked whether he would bring the min­ imum wage hike to the floor, Armey said, "It's not my intention." Armey has long been an unflinching foe of increasing the minim um wage. But the statem ent appeared to represent a change for Gingrich, who said several days ago C o n g ress w o u ld c o n sid e r a m in im u m w age increase on term s d ictated by the GOP and left open the possibility he might support it. Several GOP lawmakers and aides in the House, speaking on condition of anonym i­ ty, said G ingrich and A rm ey also w ere hoping to ease nervousness am ong GOP lawm akers while they develop a strategy to blunt the Democrats' politically appeal­ ing dem and for an increase in the m in i­ m um wage. The issue h as em erg ed u n ex p ected ly this spring, backed by an energetic effort by organized labor, and many Republicans have been taken by surprise by its force. P re sid e n t C lin to n an d co n g ressio n al Democrats favor a 90-cent hike in the m ini­ m um w age over tw o years. A g ro u p of about 20 moderate House Republicans last week called for a slightly higher increase of $1 over 15 months and said at the time they were confident the leadership would at least grant them a vote. Supporters of an increase say that when inflation is taken into account, the m ini­ mum wage is approaching a 40-year low in p u rc h a s in g p o w er. O p p o n e n ts say an increase would cost jobs because the addi­ tional cost w ould discourage businesses from creating employment. H ouse rules m ake it d ifficult b u t not impossible to force a vote against the lead­ ers' wishes. There was m aneuvering on both sides of the issue during the day. In the Senate, D em ocrats led by Sen. E d w a rd M. K ennedy of M assach u setts sought to attach a m inimum wage hike to a p ending im m igration bill. Republicans used their parliam entary prerogatives to block a vote.

WASHINGTON — Congres­ sional leaders and White House officials announced agreem ent Wednesday on a huge bill financ­ ing dozens of federal agencies for the rest of the fiscal year, solving ■ a months-long standoff that had becom e a political em b arrass­ ment for both parties. Nearly seven months after fis­ cal 1996 began, the tw o sides resolved a handful of stubborn environm ental d isputes — in many cases following retreats by Republicans — and prepared to push the $160 billion m easure through Congress on Thursday.

Dudayev’s death raises Russia’s concerns CANDICE HUGHES_____ Associated Press MOSCOW — The death of sepa­ ratist leader Dzhokhar Dudayev shuf­ fles the deck in Chechnya. But only the most reckless of gamblers would bet on who will be dealt the winning hand in the Kremlin's bitter Caucasian war. A t sta k e are P re s id e n t Boris Yeltsin's chances for re-election and the future of a war that has claimed 30,000 lives and is still going strong. The rebels say Dudayev was killed in a Russian airstrike over the weekend and buried in a secret location late Tues­ day in rural Chechnya. They vowed Wednesday to take revenge and to con­ tinue their war with Moscow. Yeltsin says the outcom e of the June presidential vote hinges on the c o u rs e of th e w a r he ig n ite d 16 m onths ago, sending thousands of ANALYSIS tro o p s in to C h ech n y a to en d its three years of self-declared indepen­ dence. D udayev's death comes just as polls say Yeltsin has pulled even w ith C o m m u n ist challenger G en­ nady Zyuganov. Yeltsin insists he wants to negoti­ ate an e n d to a co n flict th a t has stained Russia's international repu­ tation and sapped his popularity. "W ith or w ith o u t D udayev, we will wind up everything in Chech­ nya p ea cefu lly ," Y eltsin in sisted during a campaign stop in Russia's Far East on his way to China. But the arm y h as v irtu a lly ignored Yeltsin's March 31 cease-fire d e c la ra tio n an d seem s b e n t on achieving the m ilitary victory that has eluded it for so long. The big question now is w hether Dudayev's death — perhaps the most tangible accomplishment yet of Russi­ a's b eleaguered w ar effort — will m ake it easier for Russia either to reach peace with the separatists or to defeat them on the battlefield. "N o one can predict how things w ill go in C h e c h n y a ," G eo rg ian President Eduard Shevardnadze, a former Soviet foreign minister, cau­ tioned Wednesday. A m ong a host of possible post- Dudayev scenarios: ■ A strong new Chechen leader w illing to talk peace emerges. The war ends. Yeltsin wins. ■ The rebels d isin te g ra te as a fighting force am id internal pow er struggles. The Russian army mops up. Yeltsin wins. ■ In death, Dudayev becomes an even more potent symbol of Chech­ n y a 's c e n tu rie s -o ld y e a rn in g for independence than he was in life.

At least for now, the new separatist leader is Zem likhan Y andarbiyev, who was Dudayev's civilian vice pres­ ident before C hechnya's separatist government was replaced in Moscow- imposed elections four months ago.

Arms tracking Gingrich forms panel to explore White House’s part inflow of weapons from Iran to Bosnia Associated Press WASHINGTON — House Speaker Newt Gingrich established a special panel W ednesday to investigate the Clinton administration's role in allow­ ing Iranian arms to flow to Bosnia. A sserting that President Clinton might have helped Iran gain a foothold in Europe, Gingrich set up an eight- m em ber panel — five Republicans, three Democrats — to examine the 1994 arm s shipm ents that w ent through despite an international arms embargo. The investigation, a slap at Clinton on foreign policy grounds, would be completed after Labor Day during the final stretch of the presidential cam­ paign. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, the all-but-certain Republican Eresidential nominee, has asked for earings on the arms shipments. "President Clinton's policy of vir­ tually inviting Iran into Europe could have disastrous results for America," said Gingrich. "The president under­ took this reckless policy hastily and then kept it secret from Congress, the American people and our European allies." W hite H ouse sp o k esm an M ike M cCurry rejected G ingrich's asser­ tions. "It did not give a foothold to Irani­ ans in Bosnia because the Iranians were already there," McCurry said. "The administration ... is more than anxious to tell the story about how we conducted that diplomacy and what our objectives were because it led to a very positive outcome." A key Republican point is that the administration apparently wasn't eager to tell the story in 1994, when Congress could have had a say in the matter. U n d e rsecretary of State P eter Tamoff testified Tuesday that while U.S. intelligence agencies reported to Congress on the Iranian arms ship­ ments, there was no mention of the U.S. role in tacitly approving them.

At a ceremony on the South Lawn, Clinton told the bomb­ ing survivors and the families of victims of 11 other terrorist attacks, "W e renew our fight against those who seek to ter­ rorize us, in your names. "We send a loud, clear mes­ sage today all over the world, in your names: America will never surrender to terror." In a p re sid e n tia l election year, it was an opportunity for a warm display of bipartisan­ ship on a sunny, spring day. It brought Clinton together on the same stage with his GOP presi­ dential rival, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole. United Methodists remain opposed to homosexuality ■ DEN VER — U nited Methodists voted Wednesday to u p h o ld a church policy declaring homosexuality incom­ patible with Christian teaching.

They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. I VIEWPOINT Homer ]Railney On Thursday afternoon, UT President Homer P. Rainey will finally receive justice. Rainey, you recall, was the UT president fired in 1944 for his defense of academic freedom. This after­ noon, the Old Music Building will be formally rededicated as Homer P. Rainey Hall. The Daily Texan would like to express its appreciation to Homer Rainey — if only because we were one of the reasons he was fired. Local radio commentator Paul Bolton said that a 1940 editorial was the beginning. Texan editor Boyd Sinclair criticized a certain political candidate who was parading his patriotism. Bolton said that candi­ date's backers "demanded everything from the censorship of The Texan down to expulsion of Boyd Sinclair. And Dr. Rainey at that time came to the defense of Editor Sinclair. He defended the young man's right to speak his mind, dismissed the notions that censorship of The Texan should be imposed." Apparently this position caused some leg­ islators to think Rainey might be a communist. This support for The Daily Texan probably didn't sit well with the UT regents. Board of Regents Chair Dudley Woodward said that control­ ling The Texan was one of his high priorities. Rainey's defense of your ever-friendly student newspaper probably didn't help him with the regents, who later fired him. At the time, The Texan repaid Rainey as best it could. Editor Helene Wilke (our first female editor and one of the best of the decade) defended Rainey vigorously and responsibly. Her level-headed edito­ rial the day after Rainey's dismissal probably helped prevent a cam­ pus riot and channeled the protest into more productive avenues. Horace Busby, Wilke's successor, also consistently defended Rainey and attacked the regents, much to the great annoyance of Rainey's replacement, UT President T.S. Painter. As Rainey finally receives recognition for his service to the Univer­ sity and defense of academic freedom, we would like to join past Daily Texan editors in supporting this courageous man. Homer Rainey, The Daily Texan still remembers. — Robert Rogers Blood flicks Ah, yes. Here they come again, the advertisements for martial arts films. Honor. Courage. Blood. Gore. All yours for a mere $5.95, plus a few more bucks for Coke and popcorn. If everything that King Midas touched turned to gold, everything that Hollywood grabs turns to sludge. There are few greater mockeries of the martial arts tradition than to portray the masters as bloodthirsty gladiators who fight from anger. The true warrior kills not from pride but only from necessity. But the greater damage is the false messages these films send about violence. In the films, the protagonist and the antagonists go at it for what seems like forever. One takes a full-power kick to the face. The head snaps around. Then the fighter shakes it off, growls a bit, and then returns to the fray. It would be socially beneficial if the films' depiction of violence were more accurate. You would see the martial artist facing an attacker. There would be a quick blur. Then the attacker would be lying on the ground holding his knee and screaming. Let the screams go on and on for a few minutes until they turn into sobs. Then show the hospital visit, the medical bills, and the physical rehabilitation necessary to walk again. Let the audience see in detail the human results of the mindless violence they so love to applaud. The problem with martial arts films is not violence per se. Combat stories have existed since before the Iliad. But what Homer had and Hollywood lacks is the all-too-human consequences of violence. Achilles and Hector were the ultimate he-men, but for all their hero­ ism their deaths were real. Achilles mourning Patrocles shows the deeper truth about force that should be remembered alongside the blood lust and adrenalin rush. Just a little something to consider as you munch the popcorn. — Robert Rogers “Tvvb RfcAL D e c i d x n g F a c t o r .... -vjTll non, U T i KJXCE- AtvlD PlA M ^L.

C E N T E R ¡5 A P X Z Z A h u t. ¿J e h - sjzgw m e up u TexPIRG still haunts UT students On Monday evening, a phantom rose eerily Jim Dedman GUEST COLUMNIST from its grave and crept into the meeting of the Student Services Fee Committee. Just two days after Ralph Nader addressed our campus, the committee resurrected the Texas Public Interest Research Group, the proposed stu­ dent lobbying group slain at the polls earlier this semester. Despite its decisive defeat, supporters of Tex­ PIRG, who previously clamored merely for a vote on the issue, now seek to enact their proposal via deal-making with the Fee Committee and Presi­ dent Berdahl. Under its new guise, outlined in a four-page manifesto drafted by supporters, TexPIRG would be funded by an optional student fee of $6.50 per semester. Students wishing to support the effort could sign a pledge card committing themselves to the fee for each and every semester they remain at the University. An objective glance at the "Political Aid and Legislative Influence Prohibition" provisions of the 74th Legislature's Appropriations Act raises serious questions about the legality of TexPIRG. If student fees become state money once appro­ priated by the University, can they be used in the active pursuit of the passage or defeat of legisla­ tion by an entity independent of the administra- tion and the student government? Could such an organization be funded by a specially designated fee? Could TexPIRG employ staffers who would actively endorse and oppose legislation on behalf of that institution of higher education? When TexPIRG proponents oversimplify the political process by claiming that they will lobby for an "end to hunger and homelessness," they forget that politics concerns not only the ends, but the means. As no constituency exists for the per­ petuation of hunger and homelessness, debate over these important issues centers on the best measures to resolve these social problems, not whether they should be addressed at all. Student opinion on the solutions to these prob­ lems could vary greatly, although TexPIRG plans to represent only the views of those students who pay them to do so. Still, its organizers promise that TexPIRG will offer students a voice in the legislative arena. Far from politically mute, students, as citizens, are guaranteed freedom of association and the right to vote. If they do not support particular legisla­ tion or the views of a public official, they are free to express their views and join with others who share them. Students may join already existing registered organizations such as the College Republicans or the University Democrats, two campus political groups which already offer stu­ dents the opportunity to be heard. With so many ways for students to become involved, why should TexPIRG receive a special designation and its own optional fee? In the aftermath of the 5th Circuit Court's deci­ sion on the law school's admittance policy, we witnessed students join campaigns to save or scrap the affirmative action policy. Students are becoming involved by attending and participat­ ing in panel discussions and forums on the issue. As the perfect example of why TexPIRG is unnecessary, the campus activism over the affir­ mative action ruling illustrates the interest stu­ dents take in the world around them. Despite all of this, TexPIRG supporters still feel that students are "apathetic" and "underrepre­ sented." Perhaps they didn't realize that activism on campus was alive and well when so many stu­ dents worked to defeat the proposal the first time around? Dedman is a senior in history. Minorities still experience tougher world Reverse discrimination! Level Ja s o n V ogel TEXAN COLUMNIST could not find work, while only 12.9 percent of white youth faced the same problem. the playing field! These are the war cries of politicians on the right. Meanwhile, liberals and U.S. universities are giving way step by step: first admissions, then fel­ lowships, grants, and scholarships. We have seen opinions; now it is time for some cold, inexorable facts. The foundation for almost every recent opinion, printed and spoken, is that affirmative action gives pref­ erential treatment to people of color. Well, yes, but the position of blacks and Latinos in America, as well as in the University, is still inferior to whites. It is time to dispel the illu­ sions of white victimization. White men continue to earn high­ er wages than women and people of color. Overall, white women earn only 71 cents to a white man's dol­ lar, black women 64 cents and Lati­ no women 54 cents, according to a 1993 study by the National Gommit- tee on Pay Equity. This does not seem like a color­ blind or gender-blind society. In 1993, the median income of white households was $32,960, com­ pared with $19,533 for blacks. In 1992, 46.6 percent of black children under age 18 lived in poverty, com­ pared with only 16.9 percent of white children. Facts would seem to indicate that people of color are not a privileged class. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the unemployment rate for African American men as of January 1995 was 10.6 percent. For Latino men, it was 11.3 percent. For white men? It was 5.5 percent. In November 1994, 31.7 percent of black teen-agers in the labor force Again facts dispel the myths; blacks and Latinos face a tougher world than most whites. But surely all can sympathize with the plight of us white men. Although we compose only 33 per­ cent of the population, we make up: 88 percent of tenured professors, 95 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs, 85 per­ cent of partners in major law firms, 97 percent of school superinten­ dents, 80 percent of the U.S. House of Representatives and 90 percent of the U.S. Senate. At the University, blacks make up 5.2 percent of administrators, 2.5 percent of faculty but an amazingly diverse 25.2 percent of service per­ sonnel. Latinos make up 5.2 percent of administrators, 4.2 percent of fac­ ulty and also an amazingly diverse 47.7 percent of service personnel. The rhetoric against affirmative action is yet another smoke screen to hide the real problems. While politi­ cians and the elite play us off one another by blaming immigrants, blacks and welfare mothers, we are all losing job security, wages and the opportunity for social advancement. Meanwhile those politicians and capitalists are making more money at greater expense to working peo­ ple then ever before. The real prob­ lem is not immigration or minority' preferences, but unchecked, corpo­ rate greed that has led to a declining standard of living. The political arena is silent. Reac­ tionary decisions are coming down from conservative courts. The only way to protect affirmative action is to fight for it. The University will be fighting on Tuesday April 30 at noon in the West Mall. Vogel is a sophomore in Plan II. Bravenec column off base Eddie Bravenec, are you missing some social interaction? It seems with your edi­ torial that you are missing some intellectu­ al stimulation which can become lost when one can become so engrossed in such an interesting subject as mathematics. I personally know many Plan II students. They do not try to separate themselves from the rest of the college student body. Instead, they try to branch out and meet new people who are interesting to talk to and fun to be around. As far as poor schools, my sister and I graduated from one. We are both chemical engineers. She decided to make more of her educa­ tion by striving to do well in Plan II cours­ es as well. I did not apply because I do not fit the train of thought that many of the Plan II students possess. I admire their undying quest to seek out the best that sur­ rounds them. Bravenec, you seem to have learned only one lesson that any Plan II student can teach you. You strive only for your own personal benefits instead of trying to do the best not only for yourself, but for your friends, classmates, your community and the uni­ versity at which you study. Stuart Richardson Chemical engineering junior Plan II attracts students It seems that the annual sport of Plan II bashing is here again. For years, the pre­ ferred medium of assault was confined to diatribes on the Plan II table outside the UGL at registration time. Sadly, such mindless tripe has found its way to the edi­ torial page of The Texan. Bravenec, did you write the column in Crayola #65 ink (envy green), or was it #66 (socialist red)? Your column — aside from being replete with errors and flawed reasoning — is a sad call to pandering to the lowest educa­ tional common denominator. I struggle to understand how the honors program of 500 bright, motivated students has deleterious- ly affected the education of "regular" stu­ dents like yourself. As a Plan II graduate, I assure you that I did in fact enjoy frequent and mutually rewarding interaction with "regular" UT students. Also, I assure you that your assertion that "it is unlikely that the Plan II program is a deciding factor" in the prospective Plan II student's decision to attend the Universi­ ty is, to put it mildly, pure folly. Speaking for myself and friends, the quality of the Plan II education — not the low cost — was the overriding factor in choosing to attend the University. How do you attract to a large state uni­ versity bright students who have been accepted to Ivy League schools (many of whom can afford the costs of such private schools)? The answer: with a vaunted and challenging honors program like Plan II. I challenge you to make a sound argument against this highly respected tradition. Andrew G. Love UT Plan II alumnus Invite us to math parties After reading Eddie Bravenec's column concerning Plan II, I now realize how socially elitist I have been. Therefore, I eagerly await Bravenec's personal invitation to his major's next soiree. I hear math students are renowned for their social functions. Benjamin Walther Plan II freshman FIRING UNE Armenian genocide exists I was shocked and saddened to read the Turkish University Students Association letter denying the historical reality of the Armenian Genocide. It is particularly shameful when one realizes that this letter was published on Armenian Martyrs Day, a solemn day set aside to remember the 1.5 million Armenians murdered between 1915 and 1925. Shame on you, TUSA, for your lack of sensitivity and your adherence to the myth perpetuated by the Turkish government for 70 years. Yes, the Turkish government continues to deny the reality of the Armenian Geno­ cide, just as it refuses to acknowledge pogroms carried out in Turkey against Orthodox Christians in 1955, just as they deny recent U.S. State Department Reports concerning Turkish attacks against the Kurds in which 2,000 Kurdish villages have been evacuated or destroyed since 1992. Actually, Turkey did at one time acknowledge guilt. On Aug. 10, 1920, the government of the Treaty of Sevres Turkey signed acknowledging responsibility for the mur­ der of the Armenians. But the Turkish Uni­ versity Students Association is not interest­ ed in the truth. The Turkish students even deny Hitleris famous quote upon his invasion of Poland, "Who remembers the Armenians?" If this quote is apocryphal, then you better tell Douglas Layton, executive director of the Servant Group International, and Thomas Warrick, special counsel to the Coalition for International Justice. Both of these gen­ tlemen have cited the Hitler quote while under oath. I can understand the Turkish University Students Association's feeling of discom­ fort from being associated with Hitler. If they were to reject the tactics of the Neo- Nazis, the denial of widely accepted histor­ ical fact, and instead emphasize the posi­ tive aspects of Turkish culture, we could all be enlightened. Steve Stappenbeck UT staff ships, grants and all kinds of perks that in effect buy the voices of so-called scholars. The Armenian Genocide is fact. It has been recognized by the United Nations, the European Parliament, the U.S. Congress and others. Turkish students should accept what the rest of the world already knows. Genocide well supported It was disappointing to read the Turkish University Students letter, "Armenian genocide false" in The Daily Texan on April 24. The letter is a classic example of denial tactics employed by the Turkish govern­ ment. First, the letter questions historical facts by referring to thé work of well-known pseudo-scholar Heath Lowry, who has recently been exposed in the prestigious Journal o f Holocaust and Genocide Studies as a paid servant of the Turkish government. The Journal o f Higher Education has cov­ ered this embarrassment to Princeton in recent issues as well. World-renowned genocide scholars such as Deborah Lipstadt, Yehuda Bauer and Israel Chamey have summarily dismissed Lowry's work. Second, the letter makes the charge of counter-genocide. The letter asserts that millions Turks suffered the "same fate at the hands of Armenian nationalists." The claim is absolutely absurd. It is part of a campaign of misinforma­ tion and deceit which uses various argu­ ments to justify or deny the genocide. The sad part is that these kinds of ridicu­ lous arguments can be effective when backed up by so-called research done by pseudo-scholars in the paid service of the Turkish government. In fact, the Turkish government spends millions on hiring aca­ demics and prestigious Madison Avenue public relations firms to help in the denial effort. In addition, they provide scholar­ Ken Maranian Austin resident Give all baseball scores After checking the baseball scores this past Tuesday, I would like to applaud the Texas Rangers' valiant effort in their pur­ suit for the "1996?" pennant. In just four weeks, they have managed to play 144 games (that's a little more than five games a day for you liberal arts majors) and finish just 4.5 games behind the division-leading Seattle Mariners. I guess this goes to show that today's athletes are finally earning their pay. All right ... enough is enough. I feel that if you guys can take the time to print a majority of narrow-minded editorials, you can at least appease the rest of us and keep up with the baseball scores. Thank you.

The death of Aimi Owens, a m em ber of the Delta Delta Delta sorority, and the injury of 10 others on Lake Travis after their boat hit an island prom pted the Travis C ounty Sheriff's D epartm ent to subpoena the blood test results of the driver, Phillip Patton, 27, of Austin. If his blood-alconol level exceeded 0.10, the legal limit for driving, Patton may be indicted on a charge of intoxication manslaughter, said Andy Saenz, chief of staff in the Travis Coun­ ty S h e r if f 's D e p a rtm e n t. I n to x ic a tio n m anslaughter is a second-degree felony pun­ ishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fíne not to exceed $10,000. O w en s and h er frie n d s had le ft a p arty sponsored by Delta Delta Delta and Pi Phi at a restaurant on the lake to go on the boat ride. Blood test results showed that O w ens was n ot in to xicated at the tim e of th e accid en t. O w ens' blood alcohol level at the time of her death was 0.06, said Andrea Simpson-Jones, a s e c r e ta r y fo r th e T ra v is C o u n ty M e d ic a l Examiner. The accident occured despite preventive measures followed by the Tri-Delts and other sororities on campus.

"If a party is going to be out of a five-mile radius from campus, we charter buses," said Tricia Land, vice presid en t of risk m an age­ m en t for th e U T P a n h ellen ic C o u n cil. Sh e added that there is an extensive set of rules for all sororities regarding safety procedures for social functions. "There is a two-hour limit on parties during the week, and weekend parties can only last four hours. Chapters don't have parties with fra te rn itie s on p ro b a tio n , and ev ery p arty m u s t b e r e g is te r e d w ith th e P a n h e lle n ic office," Land said.

"They sign a contract saying they are going to abide by Texas law ." She added that her sorority's rules are enforced by sorority officers. "They patrol at the parties and make sure that everyone is doing w hat they need to be doing," W alker said. M elanie Lewis, public relations coordinator for Alpha G am m a Delta, said her sorority's risk -m an ag em en t program , w h ich is o rg a ­ nized by its executive officers, requires mem­ bers to w atch videos or listen to speakers on safety at least once a month. " It's d rilled into your h ead ," Lew is said. "It's an honor system. No one breaks it." Sorority mem bers said the death of Owens has been difficult for the Greek community. "Everyone is trying to pull together and get through it the best they can," said Mary Eliza­ beth Heard, a Plan II senior and a member of Delta Delta Delta. The U niversity C ounseling C en ter is pro­ viding counseling to m embers of the group, she added. "The G reek com m unity is alw ays fighting allegations that we are nothing but drinking organizations," Lewis said, adding that in this situation "n ot only does a chapter lose a sister, but they have all these allegations to face."

That was the com m on phrase on all the Rockets' m inds at the end of the regular season.

"T h a t's w hat it is. It's w inning time, you know ," point guard Sam Cassell said. “ W hen w e get to this point, this is when w e get tough. W e know it's do or die, it's w in or go home.

PHOTOS BY ASSOCIATED PRESS ’95 playoff crash fresh on mind of San Antonio JASON W. DUGGER Daily Texan Staff S A N A N T O N IO — Fighting his w a y off The Sum m it floor through a group of frenzied Rockets fans last June, A ve ry Johnson w as already an tici­ pating a return trip to the postseason. "I'v e been ready since w e lost last year and I heard the [Sum m it] announcer say 'Tickets go on sale for The N B A Finals tom orrow ,"' the San A nto­ nio point guard said, referring to his team 's loss in Gam e 6 of the 1995 W estern Conference finals. That was close as the Spurs came to being associ­ ated w ith The Finals a year ago. San A ntonio's run at an N B A title ended courtesy of Hakeem O laju ­ w on and the eventual two-time defending cham pi­ on H ouston Rockets, 4-2. Expectations had been high for a San Antonio club that w on an N BA -high 62 regular-season games, the most in the franchise's history. It advanced to the conference finals for the first tim e since 1983 and w on tw o p layoff series in one season for the first tim e ever. A nd it had the league's M ost V aluable Player in center D avid Robinson. The Spurs w ere ready to silence the naysayers w ho questioned the team 's desire, passion, tough­ ness — you name it — to w in it all. It was their year. "W e w ere six w in s aw ay from w inning a cham­ "and it still has a sour p ionship," Johnson said, taste in our m outh." This season, San Antonio captured its second straight M idw est D ivision crow n and won 59 games — good enough for the No. 2 seed in the Wrest. The Spurs, w ho spent the week in K e rrville to get focused on the playoffs, w ill host Phoenix in the best-of-5 first-round series Frid ay at 7 p.m But unlike last year, fans aren't placing much emphasis on the Spurs' regular-season accomplish­ ments. After all, the Rockets came from the sixth posi­ tion in the conference to w in the N B A championship. San Antonio head coach Bob H ill, how ever, does­ n 't subscribe to that theory. "Peo p le say that the regular season doesn't mean an ything ," H ill said. " I d o n 't buy that. H o w can anyone say that? W e w on 62 games. I don't agree that we d id n 't have a successful season [last year]." U nfortunately for H ill and the Spurs, their suc­ cess w ill only be m easured by the size of their cham pionship rings — and the p lay of the team 's best player. Robinson, who still put up im pressive numbers Boston gives up early lead, later rescinds offer Associated Press BO ST O N — The Boston Red Sox took their 4-16 record into W ednesday night's game against Texas and prom ptly spotted the Rangers a 7-0 lead. Then they decided to try som ething different. The Red Sox rallied to tie it in the sixth and took the lead in the seventh on Reggie Jefferson's third double, beating Texas 11-9 to keep their w innin g percentage above the M endoza (.200) line. " It w ould have been easy for us, the w ay things have been going, to say 'Le t's get them to m o rro w ,'" Jef­ ferson said. "B u t you could see it on the bench.

Pag© 8 Thursday, April 2 5 ,1 9 9 6 T he Daily T exan Rodman + Bulls = Championship? Associated Press CH ICAG O — The hair colors, the tattoos, the body piercing, all are part of the Dennis Rodman image, one he's m arketed heavily and cultivated greatly since joining the Chicago Bulls. But there's the other side to the N BA 's best rebounder and that's what the Bulls d on't want to see in this, the most em otional time of the season. No head-butting please, no outbursts against offi­ cials, no technical fouls or ejections, and especially no suspensions as the Bulls try to top off the NBA's best-ever regular season with another title. As a team, the Bulls are perhaps the. best- paid support group ever assem bled. And they'll need to stay that way to help Rodman, whose postseason antics a year ago — arguing with his coach and refusing to join team hud­ dles — hurt San Antonio's chances for a cham­ pionship. " I think they understand as a team that we have to provide support for them selves and for each o th er," Bulls coach Phil Jackson said W ednesday after a long practice for Friday's playoff opener against Miami. "A n d Dennis, of course, needs that and they need to rely on Dennis staying away from the officials, first, and not trying to bait them, sec­ ondly. If there is a confrontation and situation, Luc [Longley] and the centers are supposed to step in front of him and keep him at bay ." Rodman, who drew a six-game suspension this season for head-butting an official during a gam e in New Jersey, w asn't talking W ednes­ day except for a TV show he was taping. Earlier, he said he expected the Heat and coach Pat Riley to try and rile him up. "P a t Riley's going to do all he can to send som eone purposely out there to beat me up and to get me to blow up. But it's not going to happen," Rodman prom ised after the season finale against W ashington. Riley insists that's not part of his plan, even though when the Heat dealt the Bulls one of their 10 losses, Rodman became frustrated by M iam i's tough efforts in blocking him off under the basket and also with the officiating. "T h e y 're assum ing something that's simply not tru e," Riley said. "W e 're working very hard to keep him off the boards, very hard. H e's a very physical player. He shouldn't be talking about that stuff as much as he pushes and shoves and leans." The H eat's effort against Rodman in that earlier game was one of the featured areas of a lengthy film session W ednesday. W hen Rod­ man got frustrated during that loss, Jackson pulled him early and he managed only 11 rebounds.

"Everybody looks for som ewhere to point the finger," Johnson said. "But we win as team and lose as a team. Like I'v e said before, had David averaged 40 [points] and 20 [rebounds] and we'd still lost, then it would have been just as bad. It does­ n't make any difference." That would seem to hold true, especially since Hill has preached team chem istry and respect for one another since he arrived before last season. In fact, it was the team 's struggles from the charity stripe that may have sealed their fate in the beginning of the Houston series. "I really think had w e made our free throws in Gam e 1, w e'd be in The Finals," Hill said. "It's not ju st a H akeem -D avid m atchup. There were four other positions on the floor that we had to deal with." The personnel on the floor for the '95-96 version of the Spurs is as good as any.

Even w ith leagu e's best the rebounder and — according to the Spurs — the league's best distrac­ tion in Dennis Rodman gone, each player has becom e accustomed to his role as the season progressed. Now, Robinson only hopes it will carry over into the postseason — with six more wins this time. "W e played extrem ely well [in the regular season]," Robinson said. "It means a lot as far as getting continu­ ity and confidence in your team ­ mates. You have to use that time to fine tune your team. It takes time, but I think it will pay off." excel," Kenny Smith said. "Every­ body in this locker room has already forgotten the regular season. The standings don't m atter anymore. All that stuff is so you can hang little division champion banners on the rafters. It doesn't matter to us, we only care about one banner." Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich said: "This is what it's all about. This is when you get the ring. It puts you into an arena where it's do or die. You can go through the regular sea­ son and lose 10 in a row and still bounce back, but here, if you don't get it done, it's over." Ever since Choke City turned into Clutch City, the Rockets have been known as a team that plays better with its back against the wall. Last year's Houston team struggled as much as the '96 version and still cam e aw ay with the world title. After the improbability of last sea­ son, shocking the world has almost become expected. Elie says he likes the high expecta­ tions, but doesn't think som e people realize exactly how tough it is to win a championship. "There's absolutely no doubt in my mind we can win it again," Elie said. "D on't get me wrong, I'm a believer. It's just that everyone thinks we can just turn it on and off like a light switch in the playoffs. This league is tough, it's just not that easy." Tom janovich says he enjoys the drama of an upset as much as the team next guy, but w ishes his 44 We have the last 25 Laker games broken down. We know their tendencies and we know what their plays are. Getting them stopped is another thing and that’s what we’ve been working on. Rudy Tondonovich, Rockets hood coach w ouldn't dig itself into such a big hole from the very beginning. "T h e one characteristic that I'm not very happy about is that w e're probably the best trench team in m odem basketball," the fourth-year coach said. "W e alw ays get pushed into a com er or down into that fox­ hole and I say 'Let's not get down in there at all.' Right now, because of the injuries, w e're already in a fox­ hole, just like last year. The other team 's got the home-court advan­ tage, and w e've got to go out and break serve, basically." If the Rockets are going to do it again, they're going to have to go through a man who knows even more about winning titles than they do. The Lakers' M agic Johnson already has five w orld cham p i­ onships under his belt and has his team ranked as one of the many con­ tenders for the title again. "H e gives them that little special ingredient," Tom janovich said. "H e knows how to win, he's been there many times before. Last year they dom inated us without Magic. Now they add a winner like that who will help them get focused." If nothing else, the Rockets will be prepared. Tomjanovich broke into the NBA as an advance scout and has carried that experience into his head coaching job. "W e have the last 25 Laker games broken dow n," Tom janovich said. "W e know their tendencies and we know what their plays are. Getting them stopped is another thing and that's w hat w e've been w orking on I shouldn't say stopped, we can't stop them, we will have to try and neutralize them ." Now that the Rockets have had a cham pionships, T o m ­ taste o f janovich says it's not som ething they are willing to give up. "It's such a wonderful thing, this place you have in people's minds, the respect we get everywhere we go. Everyone knows about this team. It's something our players enjoy as well, and its not something w e're willing to just give up without a fight."

The meeting at the offices of m an­ agem ent's Player Relations Com ­ m ittee lasted about 90 m inutes, according to one basebair official who spoke on the condition he not be identified. Belle was joined by Cleveland general m anager John Hart, agent Am Tellem and Gene Orza, the No. 2 official of the players' association. Attending the meeting for m an­ agement was baseball security head Kevin Hallinan, American League lawyer Bill Schweitzer, PRC lawyer Lou M elendez and investigator Jim M urphy. None of the people involved in the session would comment or even acknowledge that it took place. "I didn't see what happened. If he did it on purpose, it's very wrong. I've had 10 people tell me he did it on purpose, and 10 people tell me he d id n 't. T hat's w hat the people investigating this will try to find out.” Sports Illustrated ^photographer Tony Tomsic said Be tie threw a ball from the outfield and hit him during pregam e w arm ups at Jacobs Field. The outfielder contends he was try­ ing to throw to M anny Ramirez but the ball sailed past his teammate. R a n g e rs Continued from page 7 strain. "It's part of my role here to be ready,” Jefferson said. "(M anager Kevin Kennedy) talked to me and said before it's over everyone will get a chance. I'm in the big leagues and I want to stay, so I've got to pro­ duce.” Kevin Elster hit a three-run hom er in the Rangers' seven-run second inning and added a two-run shot in the third for a career-high five RBIs. But Rich Garces and Mike Stanton (1-1) shut Texas down. "W e stopped scoring runs after that,” Rangers starter Roger Pavlik said. turn. Like tonight." "T hings can in Garces, who was called up from Paw tucket earlier the day, pitched 2 2-3 scoreless innings and Stanton retired the Rangers in order in the seventh. Stan Belinda pitched a perfect eighth and Heathcliff Slocumb struck out the side in the ninth for his fourth save. "W e've been in that situation a few times this year,” first baseman Mo Vaughn said of the Red Sox, who still have the worst record in baseball. "W e scratched out a few runs and we were right back in it," he said. "W e were looking for a game like that, where we show some spark, show some fight." Pavlik gave up five runs before leaving with none out in the second and Dennis Cook gave up four more, including Jefferson's RBI double in the sixth to make it 9-8. Gil Heredia (0-2) walked Mike Stanley to load the bases and then got Troy O'Leary to pop up too shallow to score the run. But Mike Greenwell hit a grounder to force Stanley at sec­ ond and outran the relay, preventing a double-play and allowing Vaughn to score the tying run. John Valentin led off the seventh with a double and Vaughn was walked intentionally before Jeffer­ son doubled into the right-field cor­ ner to score them both. Vaughn was 3-for-3 with three runs and two walks and Valentin had a pair of doubles to snap an 0-for-17 slump.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Jimmy vs. Jerry — Oct. 27 Super bowl champs get spotlight, Dolphins in ‘96 schedule Associated Press IRVING — The Jerry Jones-Jimmy Johnson showdown will happen on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 3 p.m. in Miami. The National Football League gave the defending Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys their 1996 schedule on W ednesday and it included three M onday night games. But the game of prim ary interest was the meeting with the Miami Dolphins and their new coach John­ son, who took the Cowboys to two Super Bowl wins before he and owner Jones split. Many had the game would open on Monday Night Foot­ ball but Fox television got the game away from ABC. thought The Cowboys will open the sea­ son on M onday night at Chicago on Sept. 2 against former Dallas defen­ sive coordinator Dave W annstedt. Dallas has opened the season on M onday Night Football m ore times than any other club, with 11 appear­ ances. O ther M onday night Cowboys games are at Philadelphia on Sept. 30, and against Green Bay in Texas Stadium on Nov. 18. Once again the Cowboys got a Thanksgiving Day game at home, meeting the W ashington Redskins at 3 p.m. Other clubs have com­ plained about the Cowboys' advan­ tage of having a Thanksgiving game at home every year. However, the NFL d id n 't take the gam e away from Jones despite recent conflicts w ith the Cowboys owner. Another big game on the Dallas schedule is Nov. 10 at San Francisco against the 49ers, who have been the Cowboys' top NFC competition.

W hether hom e means Texas or Tennessee is anyone's guess. The team on W ednesday issued its 1996 schedule, which includes four preseason games, but didn't m ention w here the hom e gam es would be played or hint that visiting opponents w ould be traveling to Houston. Team owner Bud Adams is poised to abandon Houston for a $292 mil­ in Nashville, lion stadium deal Tenn., but Tennessee voters first m ust approve $80 million in bonds in a May 7 referendum. The Oilers also aw ait rubber- stam p approval from the league, expected to come next week, and m ust negotiate a way out of the last two years of their Astrodome con­ tract if they want to leave right away. Team spokesm an Dave Pearson hinted at the uncertainty of whether the Oilers' Sept. 1 opener against the Chiefs will be in the Astrodome or in Tennessee, possibly at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis. "We have maintained throughout this process our intention to honor our (Astrodome) lease subsequent to any am endm ents," Pearson said. "I'm also sure the league has given our situation consideration and made the appropriate contingency plans." vice Team president Mike McClure did not immediately return a telephone call from The Associat­ ed Press in. Nashville. to his new office W herever they open the season, the Oilers will play their next four games against AFC Central Division rivals Jacksonville, Baltimore, Pitts­ burgh and Cincinnati with a bye week on Sept. 22. Baltimore is the only home game of the four.

Box 4611 Lago Vista, Tx. 78645 NHL Continued from page 7 gam e and Scott M ellanby and Mike Hough gave Florida a 3-0 lead after one period against Bill Ranford, who had missed She second game w ith a sore right ankle. "Dom inating? I don't think so," said Tom Fitzgerald, w ho assisted on Hull's first goal. "W e gave up 40 shots three games in a row. You've got to look at w hat you're doing w rong." Vanbiesbrouck entered his first play­ off series in four years with a 13-20 postseason record but was outstanding as he turned aside 40 of 41 shots before Tocchet scored a meaningless power- play goal with 58 seconds left. "W e've been relying on John for three years now. I don't think it's going to change in the playoffs," Hough said. Boston is in the playoffs for an NHL record 29th straight year but is just 1-11 and has been outscored 46- 21 in its last 12 playoff games. In Game 1, the Panthers led 3-0 after nine m inutes and won 6-3. In Game 2, they took a 2-0 lead at 4:15 of the second period and won 6-2. On Tuesday, Kasper said the Bru­ ins had to finish off their opportuni­ ties, but the message apparently did­ n't get across. In the first period, they were scoreless on 14 shots while the Panthers scored on three of their 11. "W e've been playing pretty aggressive," Vanbiesbrouck said. "I've been giving up some rebounds but my defensemen have done a great job in front of the net." Hull gave Florida a 4-0 lead at Bruins goalie Bill Ranford cuts the wrong way as Florida Panthers right wing Scott Mellanby fires the puck for the team’s second goal. 15:16 of the second period, but Shawn McEachem ended Vanbies- brouck's shutout bid at 18:40 of the period when he tipped in a rebound of Sandy M oger's snot. Hull started the scoring when he took a pass from Fitzgerald and put it over Ranford's stick from five feet. Mellanby made the score 2-0 on a power play with a slap shot from the left faceoff circle at 10:29. Hough scored an unassisted goal at 12:19 after picking up a loose puck in front of the net. Only 14,922 fans w ere in the 17,565-seat FleetCenter — and most of them left before the final buzzer — as the Bruins moved one step closer to another disappointing end to a season. Boston lost 4-1 to New Jersey in the first round last season. One year earlier, they beat Montreal 4-3 in the first round, then won the first two games against New Jersey. But the Devils eliminated Boston by w in­ ning the next four. And the year before that, they were sw ept 4-0 by Buffalo in the opening round. Sharpe pleads guilty to drug charge 1 A A ssociated Press PHOENIX — Form er Arizona Cardinals tackle Luis Sharpe plead­ ed guilty to possessing drug para­ phernalia and no contest to aggra­ vated assault on W ednesday, saying he'd been a drug addict for most of his 13-year NFL career. "I'd like to get on with my life. I've had some problems," Sharpe said. "I am a drug addict." The former All-Pro offensive line­ man was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia in November after police stopped his car and searched it. The assault charge stemmed from a H allow een scuffle Sharpe had with a sheriff's deputy at a Phoenix hotel. The deputy had responded to a call from a w om an accusing Sharpe of sexual assault, and was allegedly slapped by Sharpe as he tried arrest him. D uring a jail news conference about seven hours after his morning court appearance, Sharpe said he didn't sexually assault the woman and struggled with because he felt unjustly accused. the deputy Sharpe said he was "clean and sober" for 3 1/2 years after attending the Betty Ford Clinic in 1991. But he said he relapsed when his career with the Cardinals ended in 1994 because of a knee injury. At the same time, his marriage was beginning to break up "I just had a lot of things going on at once and I got turned in the wrong direction," he said. "I knew what I was doing was wrong. I knew where it was leading me."

But a group of UT researchers is buckling down for another two years of channel-surfing to deter­ mine the effects of TV violence. In light of recent telecommunica­ tions reforms in Congress, four pro­ fessors and three graduate students in the College of Communication are participating in a three-year national TV violence study, the first year of which they have just completed. "This is probably the largest con­ tent analysis of television that has been done," said Dominic Lasorsa, an associate professor of journalism who is working on the project. Three other UT professors, Chuck Whitney, Wayne Danielson, and Dean of Com­ munication Ellen Wartella, as well as three communication graduate stu­ dents, round out the research team. The National Cable Television Association commissioned the Uni­ three other versity, along with schools — the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Univer­ sity of California at Santa Barbara and the University of Wisconsin at Madison — to conduct a study after pressure from the federal govern­ ment to curb violence on television. "Congress was concerned about television violence and told the Profile of reality program violence across day parts: 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Percentage of programs I wtth some visual violence Percentage of programs wtth some talk violence Percentage of programs with some visual violence Percentage of programs with some talk violence Profile of reality program violence across genres: Police shows Entertainment Entertainment News and (non-news)* (news)** documentary Talk shows 0 3 21-40% 61-80% 41-60% 81-100% I O 0- 20% * R efers to s h o w s such as R e s c u e 911 and U n s o lv e d M y s te rie s . ** R efers to s h o w s such as E n te rta in m e n t T o n ig h t a n d S is k e l S E b e rt. SOURCE: Survey of 384 reality (non-fiction) television programs conducted as part of the 1994-1995 National Television Violence Study ' .^m ROSS CRAVENS/Daily Texan Staff industry to do something about it/' Lasorsa said. Now in the second year of the study, the UT group is analyzing the violent content of "reality programming." Lasorsa said reality programming is any show that is not fiction, such as real-life dramas and talk shows. Concentrating on shows aired between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., researchers gathered most of the data by watching TV and charting the amount of violence in each pro­ gram, Lasorsa said. Violence is broken down into two categories: visual depictions of vio­ lence and situations in which violence is talked about but not shown. The visual depiction category includes instances in which a gun was used, violence that occurred off-screen and extremely graphic violence. When violence was the researchers noted instances when the action discussed was extremely graphic, the use of a gun was men­ tioned or when the consequences of violent acts were discussed. talked about, They found that 38 percent of the shows in that time frame include visual violence. Eighteen percent of the shows included talk violence. The UT researchers released a report in January stating their first year's conclusions about violence in reality programming. "Reality pro­ gramming is overall less likely to con­ tain violence than entertainment pro­ gramming," Lasorsa said. "Where you see a lot of violence in reality pro­ grams is programming that is like entertainment programming, like Cops." But he added that there is wide variation in the amount of violence by genres and factors such as the show's time slot. Danielson, a professor of journal­ ism who is working on the study, Professor Wayne Danielson and Adriana Olivarez, a research assistant, with television equipment said the report has had significant influence. "Already it has had an effect in the sense that it has con­ tributed to the way writers, produc­ ers and editors are going to do their work," he said. In the report the researchers made recommendations to broadcasters concerning ways to limit the negative effects of violent content in reality programming. The suggestions are to make viewers more aware of violence in programs, to air programs with violent content in later time slots and to implement more non-violent reso­ lution of conflict on shows. Fear is a major negative conse­ quence of violent content in reality programming, Lasorsa said. He added that talk shows tend to discuss violence a lot, and that these shows perpetuate the idea that the world is a violent place, leading to paranoia. "Fear may be a serious effect in reality programming because we are concerned with fear as an effect of talk. If a lot of people are talking about violence, then a lot of people might say 'The world must be more violent than I thought,'" he said. And it is these types of negative consequences, combined with the large television audience in the Unit­ SUN HING Chinese Restaurant BILK • WIML • SAKL Lunch Specials at $3 .9 5 C om bination Dinners at $5.75 2801 Guadalupe, suite A 47 8 -6 504 Lunch» MF 11:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Dinner • Sun-Thur 2:30 p.m.-10 p.m. Fri-Sat 2:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m. Walking Distance from UT • FREE Parking Call in & Carry out available 2 9 th 1 X Sun Hing Chinese Restaurant — - Guadalupe 28th ROBERT PATTON/Daily Texan Staff ed States, that makes this study important, Lasorsa said. "I frankly think we should study television more than we have because Americans spend more time with television than with any other mass media," he said. Joanne Cantor, a professor of com­ munication arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is working with TV advisories and warnings and their effects on children's view­ ing patterns as part of the study. She said she envisions the research guid­ ing the television industry in imple­ menting a new ratings system. "I hope the research we do for this will help them come up with a rat­ ings system," she said. "I think there is a lot of support for making televi­ sion more socially responsible.

A n d both kep t b e n ig n ly directin g com m ents and ges­ tures his w ay, as if to im ply: "This is our master and m en­ tor, and we will include him in our little chat." Close, easily the senior of a q u artet w h ich also in clu d e d G ary Austin, has been working in group im prov for almost 30 years.

ARTHUR LAURÍTSEN_______ Daily Texas Staff Kenny Barron is an old master with new tunes who will be perform­ ing at the Bates Recital Hall at 8 p.m. Friday. Barron's sojourn in the "Live Music Capital of the World" will be with a jazz trio that includes bass player Ben Riley and drummer Ren Drummond. In the book of jazz, Barron appears in the chapter on Genesis. Barron spent his formative years as a pianist working for the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Turrentine, Milt Jackson and Stan Getz. Each of these figures is a legend in his own right. Barron's quintessential style is his light effervescent touch. He attributes this style to the influence of jazz pianist Tommy Flanagan.What will Barron play? " I have no idea," he said with a mischievous chuckle. "I don't want it to be precise and safe. I want the spir­ it of adventure." It is this sense of careless freedom that allows the trio to create a tune every moment. "O u r communication is unspo­ ken," said Barron.
