The signal will allow the UT Police Department to arrive within 10 min­ utes at the student's exact location in case of an emergency. Currently, the University has yel­ low call boxes scattered around campus about every 100 feet, each with an alarm directly connected to UTPD. A keychain call box would essentially make the fixed call boxes portable. When a student activates a keychain, a picture of the keychain owner would pop up on a computer screen at UTPD headquarters, said SG President Brent Chaney. The University of Bridgeport in Connecticut is the only other school to have implemented keychain alarms. A female student at Bridgeport once used the personal alarm system while trapped in her dorm room as her boy­ friend abused her, said April Voumelis, chief of security at Bridgeport. "She wasn't able to get to the phone, but she grabbed her keys and triggered the alarm," Vemoulis said. "I'll never forget [the boyfriend's] face when we came through the door." According to the SG proposal, a recent student survey conducted by sociology senior John Walthall found that campus safety was a substantial concern among UT students. Of the 1,461 respondents who were random­ ly sent the survey via e-mail, about 25 percent reported feeling unsafe on campus. Women were more likely to report personal safety concerns; 36 percent of women said they felt unsafe on campus, compared to 9 percent of men. "The problem with [traditional call boxes] is that the person you want to get away from is between you and the pole," Voumelis said. "What do you do?" The UTPD does not track the num­ ber of times the call boxes are acti­ vated, but Officer William Pieper of the Crime Prevention Unit said head­ quarters receives "several call box See KEYCHAINS, page 2 Oscar Montoya, an aerospace engineering senior, walks by one of the many emergency call boxes around cam ­ pus, which are located 100 feet from each other.

SEE PAGE 8 Mu Ming Chen I Daily Texan Staff Fareboxes ease CapMetro ride Automated fa r e prevents fr a u d , streamlines process By Andrew Tran Daily Texan S ta ff Students who use Capital Metro mainline buses to com­ mute to campus may notice a slight change in the boarding process this summer. Forty-five Austin buses will test digital fareboxes that will make transfer tickets, given to passengers who have already paid their fares but want to switch bus lines, easier to read for drivers, said Andrea Lofye, a spokeswoman for Capital Metro. Students will be required to swipe their University student ID cards through the city bus fareboxes instead of flashing them at the drivers, she said. The University sent out e- mails late Tuesday assuring stu­ dents that the fareboxes cannot collect identity information. “They simply verify that the ID belongs to a registered stu­ dent," Lofye said. UT shuttles are exempt from :he new boxes, and riders of [hose buses will remain unaf­ fected. Pending successful testing, Lofye said Capital Metro hopes to implement the farebox sys­ tem this fall. Capital Metro bus driver Kelvin Finney said this technol­ ogy had been around in other cities for a while and that he first noticed it on a bus in Las Vegas two years ago. "I've only used it for a short while, but it's made things much easier for me," Finney said during one of his breaks. Eric Benet, a Texas Culinary Academy student on his way home, said the technology is useful. "It prevents fraud because people could make copies of tickets and just flash them to the driver," Benet said. The new cards also keep track of transfers for bus drivers, while also looking "real cool," he added. Finney said the transition from the old system to the digi­ tal fareboxes has been smooth, except for a few disgruntled students who don't like having to pull their ID cards out of their wallets. "Don't they have to pull out their IDs for other stuff, like going into bars?" asked Finney. SEVIS database bugs almost obliterated D atabase tracking fo reig n students faster,; more efficient By Jeremy Edwards Daily Texan Staff The Department of Homeland Security database that tracks foreign students has overcome some of its initial bugs, but many key issues still need to be hammered out, according to a report issued Friday.

Claire Hule I Daily Texan Staff West Campus plan may attract more transients Services, charitable students draw hom eless people to area By Zein Basravi Daily Texan S ta ff New high-rise buildings in West Campus will likely increase the number of homeless in the area because charitable students make the University area a popu­ lar destination for many tran­ sients, said Rani Ilai, president of the West Campus Neighborhood Association. Developers expect new build­ ings to attract between 10,000 and 15,000 students to the area. "We unfortunately have a lot of transients already in the West Campus area," Ilai said. "The tran­ sients go where there is money and where they can get free food." The exact number of Austin's is uncertain. Toni homeless Chovanetz, a spokeswoman for the Austin Police Department, said estimates vary from 500 to 5,000. While homelessness is a problem, Chovanetz said tran­ sients do not necessarily pose a threat to West Campus residents.

The system got off to a rocky start when it was unveiled in 2002, Villa said, because the pro­ gramming was put on a fast track by the USA PATRIOT Act. Two of the hijackers in the Sept. 11 attacks entered the United States on student visas. "The idea is sound, and if appropriate beta testing had taken place, this could have been unveiled as a positive develop­ ment for U.S. higher education," she said. "But because it was seen as a quick fix for moni­ toring prospective terrorists, an inadequate amount of time was spent on development and test­ ing. The schools were the beta testers." In SEVIS' first year, the Texan reported that International Office administrators sometimes sat with students for several hours waiting for a Web page to load, or watched in dismay as the system shut down for an entire afternoon. Now SEVIS works more con­ sistently, with less downtime, faster response time and more efficient processing, according to the GAO report. The number of maintenance requests and com­ plaints has also gone down dra­ matically, and some problems have disappeared entirely. But there are still bugs, the study said, including some problems that cause incorrect or incomplete information to be stored in some students' files. In one case, this led to a student being denied a visa because the birth date that appeared on her paper form did not match the birth date in the database. Despite the system's troubled past, most of the University's 4,700 international students will not run into any problems with SEVIS, Villa said. "It's not something that looms large in the lives of most inter­ national students," she said. "I think the biggest impact on international students has been the uncertainty surrounding the visa issuance process, which has nothing at all to do with SEVIS. It has to do with additional back­ ground checks that were put in place after Sept. 11." SEVIS is sometimes confused with another database called the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, Villa said. "That was the system in which immigrants from certain coun­ tries deemed to be a risk to the United States had to specifically register, over and above any­ thing in SEVIS," Villa said. "That was indeed very traumatic." As the visa process has become more restrictive in recent years, some foreign students have started looking elsewhere to get their education, said an Iranian graduate student in engineering who asked not to be identified. "Many good Iranian students now prefer to go to European countries or Canada," he said. "During the past couple of years, it has become harder and harder for them to come here." Caroling Lee I Daily Texan S taff Exactly what role universities should play in fusing research and policy was a question taken up at a one-day colloquium hosted by the LBJ School of Public Affairs. Elsepth Rostow, above, a former dean of the LBJ school and chair of the panel on international history and public policy, holds up a copy of the Foreign Affairs Journal during the panel discussion. The University and International Relations in the 21st Century conference hosted a series of panels focusing on the ways different disciplines — from history to biology — affect governmental policy. Discussions generally centered on whether universities should encourage and help scholars join the fray of policymaking, competing with federal departments, think-tanks, private security companies and non-governmental agencies. — Matt Wright Transients follow the money HOMELESS, FROM 1 far as them committing crimes against individuals in the area," she said.

According to SG's proposal, students who want a keychain personal alarm would pay for the service with their student fees at the beginning of each semester. Secure Systems, the company working with the University of Bridgeport, said that each alarm costs about $75. Although most of the company's customers are hospitals, colleges have con­ tacted Secure System about the program, said Vice President Stephen Roman. SG members and University officials have drafted a request for bids, but it will still be months before the University begins requesting bids from companies, Chaney said. "We want to be sure we get a good company," Pieper said. freshmen Incoming are instructed on the use of the yel­ low call boxes at orientation and are briefed on other campus safe­ ty issues, such as bicycle theft and sexual assault. Last year, the University recorded 16 cases of sexual assault on campus, according to UTPD statistics. According to Voices Against Violence, a campus organiza­ tion that promotes campus safe­ ty, the majority of sexual assault victims do not report the assault to police. "A year from today, we'll let them know about the great new system UT has," Chaney said. This newspaper was printed with pride by The Daily Texan and Texas Student Publications.

Tuesday, 12 p.m. Lawmakers, groups split on top 10 rule TOP 10, FROM 1 of minority students attending Texas public universities from dropping, Bledsoe said. Bledsoe and others speculated that Gov. Perry will call a special legislative session in which the rule will be discussed and pos­ sibly revised or eliminated. "The lawmakers' consider­ ation of changing the top 10 percent rule lets us know that Jim Crow is alive and well in the state of Texas," Bledsoe said. "There are serious disparities in higher education in this state ... This is a bill we need to stick with." LULAC Interim Executive Director Ana Yáñez-Correa said the top 10 percent rule in its current state benefits minority students, and also helps white students living in rural areas and those who are coming from a lower-income background. "The goal is always equity and inclusiveness," said Nelson Linder, president of the Austin chapter of the NAACP. "Race is a major factor in all avenues of life." The top 10 percent rule was passed in 1997 to serve as a replacement for affirmative action after the use of race in admission decisions was ruled unconstitutional by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Hopwood v. Texas. An effort during this year's regular legislative sessions to pass a bill capping the number of students admitted under the top 10 percent rule at 60 per­ cent was filibustered by several minority senators. "They don't need to be look­ ing at caps," Yáñez-Correa said. "They need to be looking at ways to increase funding." Perry spokesman Robert Black said any special session the governor calls this summer will address primary and sec­ ondary education, and said it is "doubtful" that such a session would be called specifically to discuss the top 10 percent rule. Black said the governor would like to re-examine the top 10 percent rule to see whether it is still applicable and make sure it is not creating any unintended effects. "The top 10 percent rule was never intended to shut out the best and brightest high school students," Black said. "[In some cases] it is keeping out the top tier of students from top public institutions just behind the top 10 percent." Perry is not advocating the bill's elimination right now; he just wants to take another look at it, Black said. Thursday, the issue moves to the Texas Senate's Subcomm ittee on Higher Education. Legislators will conduct a hearing to dis­ cuss the impact of admissions policies on enrollment in Texas public colleges and will make recommendations for improv­ ing admissions procedures. While the development in West Campus is not a priority, Chovanetz said the issue will be addressed as population growth in the area creates a need for more officers, patrol cars and new policing zones. New buildings with open spaces and better lighting will lower the number of transients, said Larry Warshaw, president of local resi­ dential properties management firm, Urban Digs Austin GP Inc. "You're always going to have transient populations in urban environments and always more in the University area," Warshaw said. "There are more services, more opportunity to scrape up small amounts of income." Homeless advocates argue that the problems of homelessness aren't necessarily associated with the student population and can­ not be addressed through city planning. Richard Troxell, presi­ dent of House the Homeless, an advocacy and educational group, said there are deeper issues. "What is dear today is that the number of homeless people is just rising in this country," Troxell said. "Unfortunately, members of the business community in the larger Austin area have tended to be fairly short-sighted in looking for immediate needs as opposed to long-term needs for their com­ Houstonians G oing home for the weekend just got a lot easier! ■5 S Ü * -" Austin H-Town .''Xm e 2 Go to: www.IRideKBC.com and get home easy 512.345.6789 G e t p ic k e d u p at campus! • 4 d aily departures on Thursdays and Fridays from Dobie M all 7 1:30 a .m ., 1:00 p.m., 2:30 p.m ., 5:10 p.m . • 6 d aily return departures, 7 days a week • Student Discount Fares: *25 round trip *15 one-w ay Tickets Available At The Campus Convenience Store Buy in advance or just minutes before on the upper-levei in Dobie Mali. Many homeless people work full-time jobs but cannot afford homes due to the inequity of the $5.15 per hour federal minimum wage,Troxell said. "Businesses are not stepping forward to pay the minimal amount for people to get and keep housing in this country," he said. "As long as businesses don't become part of the solution, the problem will continue to grow." While dty offidals have no spe- dfic plans addressing the area's homeless population, Mark Walters, a dty planner, said the current rezoning plan may call for architectural elements that would discourage homeless from inhab­ iting the area.

Crown Prince Abdullah read the brief announcement on state television Wednesday. “We are opening the door of amnesty ... to everyone who deviated from the path of right and committed a crime in the name of religion, which is in fact a corruption on earth," he said. Saudi Arabia has seen a string of fatal attacks blamed on al- Qaida and its sympathizers. The most recent was the June 12 kidnapping of American Paul M. Johnson Jr. Compiled from Associated Press reports NATION BRIEF Justice Department to rewrite interrogation memo WASHINGTON — The Bush administration laid out its legal reasoning for denying terror-war suspects the protections of inter­ national humanitarian law. The release Tuesday of internal memos by the White House was meant to blunt criticism that President Bush had condoned torture. The president insisted Tuesday, "I have never ordered torture.” An Aug. 1, 2002, Justice Department memo, however, argues that torture — and even deliberate killing — of prisoners could be justified as necessary to protect the United States. Senior department officials said the memo would be rewrit­ ten. Bush and other administration officials have said treatment at an Abu Ghraib prison, such as forcing prisoners to perform sex acts, beating them and piling them in a naked human pyramid, were unquestionably illegal.

U.S. forces launched an air strike tar­ geting militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi after his group beheaded a South Korean hostage. Khalld Mohammed I Associated Press By Robert H. Reid Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq's interim prime minister said Wednesday he was determined to confront the mastermind of bombings and beheadings who threatened to assassinate him, and the U.S. military said it killed 20 foreign fighters at the sus­ pected terrorist's hideout. A recording purportedly made by Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi threatened to kill interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and fight the Americans "untij Islamic rule is back on Earth." The found audio was Wednesday on a Web site from the group that claimed respon­ sibility for the beheading of American hostage Nicholas Berg and Kim Sun-il, a South Korean whose decapitated body was found Tuesday between Baghdad and Fallujah. After the slaying, U.S. forces launched an airstrike on what the Americans said was an al- Zarqawi hideout in Fallujah. A senior coalition military official said 20 foreign fighters and ter­ rorists were believed to have been killed in the strike. The official briefed reporters on conditions of anonymity. Dr. Loai Ali Zeidan at Fallujah Hospital put the death toll at three with nine wounded. It was the second U.S. airstrike on Fallujah since Saturday. "In both cases, we believe we hit significant numbers of al-Zarqawi lieutenants and al- Zarqawi fighters," said another official, Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt. The airstrikes also destroyed large ammunition stores, Kimmitt, coalition,deputy operations chief, said Wednesday in an interview with Associated Press Television News. In the audiotape, the speaker said "we will not get bored" until "we make you drink from the same glass" as Izzadine Saleem, the Iraqi Governing Council pres­ ident killed last month in a car- bombing claimed by al-Zarqawi's group. "We will carry on our jihad against the Western infidel and the Arab apostate until Islamic rule is back on Earth," the voice said. An official with Allawi's office dismissed the threat, saying it would not derail the transfer of sovereignty next week. President Bush called Allawi to "reiterate his commitment to the Iraqi people," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. the call, which was During scheduled before the al-Zarqawi statement, Allawi raised the topic of the assassination threat, McClellan said. McClellan did not provide Bush's response but said Allawi "is determined to confront these terrorist threats." South Koreans reacted with sor­ row and anger to Kim's behead­ ing Wednesday, with President Roh Moo-hyun calling it a "crime against humanity." South Korea said it would go ahead with plans to send another 3,000 soldiers here by August, which will make it the third-larg­ est troop contributor after the United States and Britain. "When we think of his desper­ ate appeals for life, our hearts are wrenched with grief," Roh said Wednesday in a national address. ■American By Louis Melxler Associated Press Iraq. ISTANBUL, Turkey — A car­ toon on the front page of a Turkish newspaper shows Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan standing alone at the airport welcoming President Bush. Behind Erdogan an angry crowd holds placards reading "Bush Go Home!" and "No to Bush." Turkey is one of the United States' closest allies in the region, but when Bush arrives Saturday ahead of a NATO summit, he will find a country where anti- American sentiments are soaring because of the U.S. invasion of Bush "has created chaos in the world, triggered terror and brought blood, tears and home­ lessness the Middle East instead of bringing stability," said Nesrin Saral, 35, as she shopped for shoes in an Istanbul mall. to What the United States "has been doing to prevent terror is really being done to gain more land and oil," she said. Distrust of the United States is not limited to the Turkish streets. The military is also wary about the U.S. presence in Iraq; poli­ ticians worry the U.S. invasion could lead to Iraq's collapse. "We Turks don't have much sympathy for Bush," said Sami Kohen, a columnist with the Milliyet newspaper. "The way that he has been portrayed (is) that he is for war and that he invaded Iraq and that he is act­ ing very selfishly ... and that he doesn't even consult his allies." Turkey is an ally of increasing importance for the United States and its efforts to stabilize Iraq. Turkey is a secular, democratic state, the only Muslim member of NATO and a candidate for mem­ bership in the European Union. Erdogan was one of a handful of regional leaders invited to a summit of major industrialized countries in the United States this month to discuss U.S. propos­ als to promote democracy in the region. Despite the public's anger over Iraq, ties with the world's only superpower are critical for Turkey as it pushes for EU membership. "Turkish-American relations are strategic, and therefore, I don't expect tense or low rela­ tions over the long run," said governing party lawmaker Murat Mercan. "There may be differences of opinions on some occasions," he said, but Turkey regards "America as our strategic ally ... and for the United States, Turkey is also in the same category." Bush arrives in Ankara on Saturday night. He meets with Turkish leaders Sunday before leaving for Istanbul and the NATO summit, which opens Monday. Among issues NATO leaders are expected to discuss are a pos­ sible role for alliance troops in helping to stabilize Iraq. The Ankara meetings are likely to focus on efforts to promote sta­ bility in Iraq and Turkey's drive to join the EU.

Yahoo Mail recently upgrad­ ed its free e-mail from four megabytes of mailbox space to a whopping 100 megabytes. It now also enables e-mails as large as 10 megabytes to be sent (the previous limit was three mega­ bytes). Hotmail's free accounts hold a measly two megabytes but can be integrated with many Windows programs such as Messenger because it's run by Microsoft. One problem Hotmail users often encounter is not receiving Blackboard e-mails, since Hotmail views these class mailings as spam and blocks them unless configured other­ wise. Google's upcoming free Gmail is the most interesting and most controversial of the bunch. Gmail will give users one gigabyte of mailbox space, 10 times the capacity of Yahoo Mail. It also will incorporate Google's famed search engine to enable users to sift through their thousands of e-mails. Gmail's controversial feature uses key phrases to tailor ads to individual e-mails; some privacy advocates have criticized this invasion of privacy. I first used Yahoo Mail as my default e-mail address, then moved to webmail because of its larger capacity. Now, things have changed, since webmail mailbox­ es are only a 10th of the size of Yahoo Mail's. So it's time for the University to expand webmail. With hard inexpensive, drive space so there's no reason why the service can't add more space to accom­ modate students' needs. E-mailing large documents such as pictures and PowerPoint presentations is now common — especially during class project season — and mailboxes fill up quickly. Granted, the University doesn't reap profits from ads, as Yahoo, Hotmail and Google do, but tuition should entitle us to mailboxes at least as large as Yahoo Mail's. After all, Yahoo's ad-free premium e-mail service costs only $20 a year and gives users two-gigabyte mailboxes; that's 200 times the size of web­ mail's. If webmail doesn't get an upgrade soon, many students will probably switch to Yahoo Mail or Gmail. Gmail's priva­ cy issues won't pose more of a threat than webmail's, since the University's upcoming filter­ ing system, Brightmail, will sift through all incoming e-mails in search of spam. Further, the University reserves the right to view student e-mails as long as it has a legitimate rea­ son to do so. And webmail users have to migrate their addresses and e-mails to another e-mail sys­ tem after they graduate. Yahoo Mail and Gmail accounts can be kept for life. Webmail may still be ad-free and slightly faster than other ser­ vices. But for the price of tuition these days, I deserve a larger mailbox. Tan is a mechanical engineering senior. Thursday, June 24, 2004 VIEWPOINT Texan hires new columnist, cartoonist The Texan editorial page made two additions to its staff Wednesday. Aaron Gibson is a member of the Young Conservatives of Texas and a writer for Contumacy, a campus-based conservative publica­ tion. He is the only Daily Texan columnist who can be described as a fiscal and social conservative, and he recently published a harsh indictment of Former President Bill Clinton and his new book, "My Life." Gibson is a government senior and will generally publish on Fridays. Ayan Guha, who signs his comics as "ion," is the Texan's only regular political cartoonist. He enjoys poking fun at politicians on both sides of the aisle, but his past cartoons for the Texan have been particularly critical of the Bush administration and its foreign policy. Guha is a postdoctoral fellow in the physics department. Students who still wish to have columns and cartoons published may submit them to editor@dailytexanonline.com. As always, we reserve the right to be selective in our content and to edit for clarity, accuracy, brevity and liability. We will hold tryouts for new colum­ nists and cartoonists during the first two weeks of publication this fall, and all students are welcome to apply. ‘War’ too often misused in politics which was followed by his suc­ cessor Richard Nixon's "War on Drugs," an undertaking that continues to this day. There is great danger, though, in forgetting that these images are only metaphors. NBA star Kevin Garnett learned this lesson the hard way when he claimed last month that he was preparing for an upcoming playoff game by "loading up the Uzis. I've got a couple of M-16s, couple of nines, couple of joints with some silencers on them, couple of gre­ nades, got a missile launcher. I'm ready for war." NBA players frequently compare their games to wars, but Garnett's imagery forced basketball fans to con­ front the commonly made com­ parison, and they did not like it. Amid public outcry, Garnett issued an apology. President Reagan's death also showcased this tendency, as his greatest achievement was in "winning the Cold War." It in no way denigrates Reagan's accomplishments to say that this phrase is a terrible descrip­ tion of his presidency. The Cold War was not a war at all; it was an intemational-relations para­ digm, which is not, after all, the kind of thing one wins. The American Heritage Dictionary gives two main definitions of "war." All of the above examples are wars in the second, less prominent, sense: They are "a concerted effort to combat something injurious." But none of them qualify as wars in the primary sense of the word, a "state of open, armed conflict between nations, states or parties." Today we have the "War on Terror," under whose auspices the United States has locked up civilians without charge or trial, tortured prisoners and even sacked a country. Many justify such actions with the claim that we are waging a "new kind of war," whose lack of precedence justifies actions hitherto unthinkable. But to me, the "war on terror" looks less like an unconventional war, and more like something that is not a war at all. What else, then, might justify our actions?

CLARIFICATION A viewpoint (“The great ACC job massacre," June 22) stated 75 ACC faculty members who signed plans to upgrade their credentials would not teach in the fall.

By Mike O’Connor __ Daily Texan Columnist Nearly 100 years ago, American philosopher William James observed that certain human virtues, such as "fidelity, cohesiveness, tenacity, heroism, inven­ conscience, education, tiveness, economy, wealth, physical health and vigor," could only be forged in the cauldron of military conflict. These traits, according to James, "count in peaceful as well as in military competition; but the strain on them, being infinitely intenser in the latter case, makes war infinitely more searching as a trial ... Its dread hammer is the welder of man into cohesive states, and nowhere but in such states can human nature ade­ cúa tely develop its capacity." that James regretted fact, and believed that civilization would only advance when human beings found a "moral equivalent of war" in which we would inculcate virtuous character through productive, rather than destructive, insti­ tutions. But his observations nonetheless capture something important — most of us, even now, find something terribly romantic about war. The same point is made by war corre­ spondent Chris Hedges, in his recent book "War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning." "The enduring attraction of war is this: Even with its destruc­ tion and carnage it can give us what we long for in life," Hedges writes. "Only when we are in the midst of conflict does the shal­ lowness and vapidness of much of our lives become apparent." This search for an arena in which to give meaning to our lives is one important reason why we in the United States so often characterize our projects as wars. The "War on Crime" dates back to the 1930s, when the FBI's powers were greatly expanded so that it might capture the new breed of gangsters and bank rob­ bers. President Johnson declared a "War on Poverty" in 1964, EDITOR’S NOTE Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or writer of the article.

Two weeks ago, the University's webmail mailboxes dwarfed those of free e-mail providers such as Yahoo and Hotmail. This made picking a default e-mail account easy for most students: webmail, hands down. But now, with Yahoo Mail's upgraded service and Google's upcoming Gmail, it's clear that webmail needs to be upgraded. Let's run down the key features of each e-mail account type. Webmail is the Internet version of the University's e-mail system. It holds 10 megabytes of e-mail, has no ads and sends and receives e-mail from University addresses faster than non-University e- mail services. Many professors THE FIRING LINE Running mate chicken abuse scandal brewing Dear Editor: Before putting Col. Sanders on any political bal­ lot, it should be revealed that he is not as virtuous as characterized in "Chicken-fried VP," June 23. The Federal Trade Commission recently ruled against the Colonel for making false health claims to consumers about KFC's fried chicken. And last year, a lawsuit filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals forced the Colonel to stop lying about KFC's treatment of chickens. Visit KentuckyFriedCruelty.com for details. Compassionate people every­ where are boycotting the Colonel because of his utter disregard for the misery and suffering his com­ pany forces upon nearly 800 mil­ lion birds each year. Unlike other fast-food giants, KFC has refused to implement basic animal wel­ fare standards to prevent some of the worst abuses in the industry. Erica Meier Staff writer PETA They paved paradise, too If you're not concerned about the toll roads proposed to encircle Austin, you should be. More than $700 million of the funds allo­ cated to these roads will be spent to build over the environmen­ tally sensitive Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. More traffic and sprawl development will threat­ en one of Austin's most precious national resources (and favor­ ite swimming holes) in Barton Springs with more pollution and impervious cover. More cars will also create more air pollution. In addition, we will also have to pay a toll for existing roads like MoPac and U.S. Highway 183, effectively double-taxing Austinites for a road we already built. If you want evidence of how well toll roads work, California is facing a nightmare of failed bonds, failed roads, more devel­ opment and more congestion. Austin should learn from Cali's mistake and not be sold on the cheap idea that you can build your way out of traffic. The bottom line is that roads in Texas are guided by politics, and the only people who stand to profit are the highway builder- boys and rich, out-of-town devel­ opers, not Austinites. Austin was a big reason why I chose to come to the University, and not to schools in Dallas or Houston. However, these toll roads will only help make Austin another congested Texas city. There is not a single convincing argument to build toll roads here. Say no to toll roads. Visit http:// www.nodoubletax.com for infor­ mation. Although toll roads are rumored to allow Austin traffic to breathe easier, they'll only choke our lungs, our environment and our wallets. Jakob Stewart History senior Walsh gets the beat-down Sadly, I am not permitted space enough to properly and thoroughly critique every falla­ cious element of Robert Walsh's column regarding ex-felon voting rights ("Ex-felons vote? Not in Florida," June 22), so I will grudg­ ingly limit myself to addressing a few of the more egregious errors of thought and, dare I say, morals while painfully enduring the rest of his column. Walsh, it seems, would have us return to a medieval punitive system and do away with silly ideas like rehabilitation. For Walsh and other aspiring tyrants, the world is a very simple place of us and them, white and black, good and evil. There are citizens and there are felons, Walsh says, and the two are mutually exclusive. Since I have no time to address this particular fallacy, I will go ahead and allow it and say merely that this method of thinking (or not thinking) is not employed regarding voting rights in the United States. At least, it hasn't been employed since women and African-Americans got the right to vote. Denying any one person or class of persons the right to vote is just a step away from limiting the vote to white adult male property owners. There is no reason what­ soever to bar felons from voting. Walsh would, I assume, stress the fact that the felons have willingly committed an act which has cost them their voting rights, and say that there is no similarity between the cases of ex-felon suffrage and women suffrage. I will disagree on a broader level than Walsh has bothered to consider. "We owe nothing," Walsh writes, "to those who would not respect us and our laws." Please pause and spend a moment con­ sidering the ideology necessary to support such a claim, and anoth­ er moment fearing the possible consequences of actions predi­ cated on such an ideology. Now tremble. Good. The first problem with this quotation is the idea that voting rights are something that "we owe" to people. Who are "we?" "We," if I read Walsh cor­ rectly, are the "citizens." But wait. Felons and ex-felons alike retain their U.S. citizenship, and as U.S. citizens they have a right to vote, so "we" cannot mean all citi­ zens; the moment Walsh's "we" becomes even a single person smaller than every U.S. citizen, we have taken our first step into tyranny and turned our backs on democracy. Voting rights are not the political equivalent of gold stars given to good boys and girls in grade school. The second prob­ lem in this quotation is the idea that, disregarding my last point, "those who would not respect us and our laws" shouldn't be allowed to vote. Why not? We may as well scrap political dis­ cussion, ethical debate, construc­ tive conflict and the lot right here and start toeing the party line. Christopher T. Haley Philosophy senior Token dose of clear thinking Clark Patterson's Firing Line ("Rape statistics exaggerated," June 23) demonstrates the fuzzy logic of Mary Koss' 1988 study, "Hidden Rape," but adds in his own blurry facts as well. Rape is a notoriously difficult topic to research due to wide underre­ porting of coerced sexual assault instances. Patterson seems to present that since UT police only have reports of 18 forcible sex offenses over a two-year period, rape is an incredibly infrequent crime. This is by far a larger exaggeration than Mary Koss' study. The common hypotheses in rape studies are: One, rape is very rarely reported to the police. Ed Bailey I Associated Press Former President Bill Clinton shakes hands with a person after sign­ ing a copy of his new book, “My Life.” The autobiography has drawn fire from conservative critics and one Texan columnist (“Clinton’s book shows selfish legacy,” June 23). Two readers respond in today’s Firing Line. Two, rape is usually committed by an acquaintance, not a strang­ er. Three, the general range of 1- in-8 to 1-in-10 women have been victims of rape (not including sexual assault) in their lifetimes. All three of these assertions are upheld by the National Center for Victims of Crime ("Rape in America", 1992), National Institute of Justice & Center for Disease Control ("National Violence Against Women Study," 1998) and U.S. Department of Justice ("Sexual Victimization of College Women", 2000). They are repeatedly concluded by dozens of other studies as well. Nothing in Koss' study sup­ ports Patterson's dismissal of the accounts of the 42 percent of women who later had sexual relations with their assailants. The study does not report how many of these were voluntary or repeat rapes, for example. We do know that many rapes are com­ mitted by an acquaintance of the victim. The statistic could show that women who are raped and abused by their boyfriends do not immediately break off the rela­ tionship. Patterson's argument of "the woman who stays was not really raped" is a complete myth. A handful of my female friends have confided that they had been raped, usually months or even years after the incident. None of them reported the incident to law enforcement. The embarrassment, weakness and helplessness each of them felt after the incident are very common among rape vic­ tims. Some felt that they were the cause of the rape, that they "pro­ voked" or "led on" their assailants to rape them. All of them knew their assailants and were in the same circle of friends. The fear of not being believed by law enforce­ ment, being alienated from their friends or seen as promiscuous and "impure" in the eyes of their parents were very powerful pres­ sures on them to stay silent. Rape studies are not, as Patterson presents in his Firing Line, the exaggerated hysterics of radical feminists with a political agenda. Though it appears that Patterson is more than willing to "torture the numbers" for his own case. Albert Sweigart Computer science senior Warm, fuzzy and grilled (In reference to "Clinton's book shows selfish legacy," June 23) Look, typically, book review interviews are supposed to be warm fuzzy affairs where the writer may pontificate here or there and expect little questioning. While I object to this sort of inter­ view on principle, it does prevent situations like the Terry Gross / Bill O'Reilly mini-scandal where Terry was accused of panning liberal loudmouth A1 Franken, but grill­ ing conservative loudmouth Bill O'Reilly. When you let any old book writer speak their mind, you can't be accused of "bias." Personally, I want to see every­ one grilled. Stephen Waters UT alum Meet Aaron Gibson, new Texan columnist I can only hope that the place­ ment of Aaron Gibson's opinion article regarding former president Clinton's new book was not sim­ ply a Texan bow to this and last week's conservative criticism of fresh liberal staff of columnists. It's noble to attempt to see both sides of an issue, particularly in this case, when most Southern Democrats would write a lauda­ tory glamorization of the book. However, to accept a submission by a conservative guest colum­ nist whose article speaks less of Clinton's new book as it criticiz­ es the former president's every breath seems to be a conflict of interest. Did Gibson even read the book? Or was the implication simply my misunderstanding of the typi­ cal Texan lack of headline-writ­ ing skills? I have a headline for you: "Gibson article shows lack of journalistic experience, research."

Dylan, w ho received his doc­ torate alongside H arvard philoso­ pher Hilary Putnam and biologist Cheryll Tickle, arrived 50 m inutes into the 90-minute ceremony and did not address the audience of 180 graduating students and their relatives. But his silent — and som etim es yaw ning — presence onstage brought a strong dose of star pow er to the university's w ood-paneled Younger Hall. D ylan sat m otionless and show ed no reaction as a univer­ sity choir perform ed a version of his early classic, "Blowiri in the Wind." Founded in 1413, St. Andrews, northeastof Edinburgh, is Britain's third-oldest university and one of its m ost prestigious. Its current students include Prince William, second in line to the throne. A nno u n cin g th e h o n o rary degree earlier this m onth, u n i­ versity chancellor Brian Lang called Dylan "an iconic figure for the 20th century, particularly for those of us w hose form ative years were in the 1960s and '70s." also The university cited D ylan's long-standing interest in Scottish culture. Corcoran said Scottish folk songs and border ballads influenced his early work, w hile a later song, "Highlands," is based on a poem by Robert Bums, Scotland's national poet.

"I think h e's akin to Pablo Picasso in m any w ays — his staying power, his resilience, the m etam orphoses of a very long career," he told BBC radio. Dylan has accepted only one previous honorary degree, from Princeton in 1970 — a com m ence­ m ent cerem ony m em orable in part because of a noisy invasion of cicadas.

On the Roed with Jake Three Friends Venture South for Adventure By Jake Benavides Having endured a hellacious late night study semester of sessions, last-minute TA pleading and, of course, all night drink-a- thons, the summer was looking to be much needed. Summer came, and there I sat, remaining under the pressures of having to perform, granted the workload was reduced from 15 hours in the spring to three hours in the summer.

We hopped aboard a ship that resembled a run-down ferry, and scooted offshore about five miles where I partook in some of the greatest fishing of my life.
