"I was thinking, 'There sure is a lot of water,"' the 64-year-old said after being plucked from his home. "They put the basket down, I just got in. I was looking more at the ground than at the water." C risp was am ong scores of trapped residents rescued by heli­ copters and boats Tuesday as rain- sw ollen w aterw ays spilled into southeast Texas, carrying homes, livestock and lives along the coffee- brown floodwaters. Nearly two feet of rain ©ver the weekend in San Antonio sent tor­ rents of water downstream to farm tow ns and citie s snu ggling the Guadalupe and other streams and creeks. In Victoria, a town of 60,000 peo­ ple 125 m iles southw est of Houston, locals called it the worst flooding since 1936. At least 22 people have died statew id e and a 7-year-old boy remains missing. San A ntonio police found the body of a 37-year-old man Tuesday who w as w ashed aw ay in the floods. R escuers also found the body of a 6-year-old boy in Comal C ounty, north of San A ntonio, about a half-mile downstream from where he disappeared. The bodies of Juan and Delores Garza of Luling were found inside th eir flooded hom e in Caldw ell County. Also in Caldwell County, the body of 10-year-old Heather Cottle was recovered in a Chevrolet Suburban submerged in 27 feet of water. Authorities were still searching for Devon McCoy, 7, who had been in the vehicle with Heather when it washed off a county road. Gov. George W. Bush, afte* tour­ ing flood-ravaged Central Texas by h elicop ter, said he had filed an expedited request for a federal dis­ aster declaration for 20 counties. Bush said the devastation was the worst he had seen in terms of prop­ erty damage since taking office in 1995. "The sight from the air Í3 terri­ b le ," he said. "T h e good news is help is on the way." Insured losses related to the storms was expected to exceed $90 million, the Southwestern Insurance In fo rm ation Service estim ated Tuesday.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Out-of-state law schools solicit students Claudia Grisales Daily Texan Staff While on campus, several out-of- state schools used affirmative action as a selling point to recruit about 600 prospective law school students at a fair Tuesday. Barbara Santos, director of liberal arts career services, said the law sch ool fair allow ed stu d en ts to investigate different options for law school. Santos noted that prospective law school stu dents may find more in terest in o u t-o f-state schools which offer affirm ative action in their admission program. "W e could lose a lot of minority talen t, and we have lost a lot of minority talent," Santos said. UT alumnus Arturo Mendez, who graduated in 1991, said he is inter­ ested in UT law school, but he wants to attend a law school where there is a healthy level of diversity. "J wanted to find out how the dif­ ferent schools were looking at it and what they're doing to offset the lack of affirmative action," Mendéz said. He added that while he would prefer to attend the UT School of Law, he is still interested in race- based scholarships or financial aid. "O ther programs try to recruit minority students," Mendéz said. "It is a sellin g poin t for them because they do have the policies still in place." As part of the fair, visiting law school officials facilitated a work­ shop on law school applications and affirmative action at the Lila B. Etter Alumni Center. Law schools represented at the w orkshop — the N orthw estern School of Law of Lewis & Clark, U n iversity and University of Southern California — of D enver defended the use of affirm ative action as a way of improving the quality of student experience. C laudia Tom lin, d irecto r of admissions for University of Denver College of Law, said while she has noted the wave of anti-affirmative sentiments, UD not be faced with the same issues as the UT School of Law.

Suzannah Creech Daily Texan Staff Rejecting a plan to cut the level of funding for the Women's Resource Agency and the SURE Walk Agency, Student Governm ent approved a final operating budget of $73,943 for the 1999-2000 academic year. The budget, which allocates money brought in through the Student Services Fee, will be presented to the Student Services Fee Committee in the next few weeks. Although the budget outlined how funds would be given to particular agencies, next year's financial director will have the power to adjust these allocations, said Michael Stockton, SG internal financial director. Stockton said he cut the level of funding for the Women's Resource Agency and Students United for Rape Elimination (SURE) when he formulated the original budget pro­ posal. The two agencies have sim ilar goals and may work together in some areas next year, Stockton said, adding that SURE did not spend all the money it was allocated last year. But representatives Tuesday voted to keep funding the student student’s perspective, we can see things that people in the Tower can’t see.” — M M M Stockton, SG Internal financial director same, earm arking $4,000 to each agency. Atisha Patel, education director for SURE, said she felt it was important not to decrease funding for the pro­ gram. "Since our budget is itemized, they have full flexibility to do whatever they like with the money allocated to SURE next year," Patel said. "But as of this year, I feel that it is important to be consistent with the money that is given to SURE." Though the student government operates mainly through funds from the Student Services Fee, SG President Annie Holand said alterna­ tive ways of raising funds are also being investigated. "W e'd love to find some other Stockton said he would like SG to become more self-sufficient and not spend as much student fee money. "There's a number of ways Student Government can more effectively spend student services fees," Stockton said. "There's a few ways right now that aren't real effective, that don't reach all students that don't benefit all students, and that's what I think the whole goal of the student services fee should be." Despite efforts to become more self-sufficient, both Stockton and Holand said they recognize that they need to continue receiving some fee money. "The student governm ent does help out 'in recognizing areas of cam­ pus which the administration doesn't recognize as important sources of funding," Stockton said. "Looking from a student's perspective, we can see things that people in the Tower can't see." Holand said SG is doing all it can to spread its money around, but it doesn't have the money to back some projects she wants to undertake, such as contributing to plans to reopen the Tower.

Matthew Hempel/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Appointee vows fight to save Union Rita Paul Daily Texan Staff A new m em ber of the Texas U nion Board of D irectors said Tuesday that rescuing the Union from financial crisis and providing m ore graduate stu dent oriented programs are the most important issues before the board. Victor Saenz, a graduate student at the Lyndon B aines Johnson School of Public Affairs, was offi­ cially named to the post Tuesday by the Student Governm ent, after a Union board member resigned ear­ lier this month. SG President Annie Holand said the appointing committee was look­ ing for a graduate student to fill the position because only one other grad u ate stu d ent serves on the nine-member board, which consists of six students and three faculty. "I felt that being at the University for six years, I saw a lack of gradu- ate-student representation on the board," Saenz said. "I also felt it was a critical year for the Union since it is facing a budget shortfall." ’ The U nion has recen tly been under fire after having to close sev­ eral program s — including the Union Film Program and the Check Cashing Service — last year because of a $275,000 deficit. Saenz said he hopes the board will reach a d ecision soon on whether to conduct a student-fee referendum that would a6k stu ­ dents to allow the Union to raise student fees periodically without student consent. "My main goal is to develop stu­ dent consensus on saving the Union so we can move forward with a ref­ erendum," Saenz said. "We must be cautious about how we go about saving the Union, but we must save UNION/Page 2 Mideast talks persist Associated Press Q UEEN STOW N , Md. — Under President Clinton's prod­ ding, and w ith Jo rd an 's King Hussein on hand to help, Israel and the Palestinians began shap­ ing the fram ew ork for a W est Bank land-for-peace accord on the sixth day of their sum m it talks, sources close to the negotia­ tions said Tuesday.

Peace Continued from page 1 "There is important work going on here, but significant gaps are still there," White House spokesman Joe Lockhart said. The sources, who spoke on condi­ tion of anonym ity, said that w h ile several knotty issues remained, Israel and the Palestinians had succeeded in reaching a p re lim in a ry u n d er­ standing on several points. These included a 12-week Israeli pullback from a further 13 percent of the West Bank, with the Palestinians responding w ith the confiscation of illegally held weapons from militant groups on territory they already con­ trol and the jailing of suspect terror­ ists. The United States would assume the ro le of v e rify in g both the weapons seizure and the jailings, the sources told The Associated Press. The Is ra e li p u llb a ck and the Palestinian counterterrorism moves w o u ld be carried out in p a ra lle l phases. A m ajor stickin g p o in t remained whether and when Israel would carry out another pullback. It has offered to w ith d ra w from an additional 1 percent.

President appoints new chief of staff Associated Press W A SHINGTON — P resid en t Clinton named John Podesta as his chief of staff Tuesday, replacing m illionaire businessm an Erskine Bowles with an immigrant's grand­ son who has a "a tough hide.” "Bowles, blue blood. Podesta, blue collar,” Podesta joked. "I know what it really means to work for the minimum wage and to count your raises in cents and not dollars. ... T h at is w hy I'm so p ro fo u n d ly grateful to the president for giving me this chance to serve our country in this hallowed place.” Clinton said Podesta, a veteran g o -to m a n for th e p r e s id e n t's m any investigative woes, brings a n u m b er of assets to the chief- of-staff post, the highest-ranking of C linton's aides. "H e has a tough hide, a dry wit, a lot of patience in dealing with the president," Clinton said. "H e and his family have a taste for nd- ing roller coasters. That will cer­ tainly serve him well here." "You have chosen som eone to lead the team in the days ahead that I both admire and respect," Bowles told Ginton. "I could not be leaving you in better hands, my friend." Podesta w as am ong the aides w h o a c c o m p a n ie d B o w le s to Capitol Hill to negotiate the fis­ cal 1999 b u d g e t a g r e e m e n t re a c h e d la s t w e e k w ith C o n ­ gress.

In today's m arket, a good education often m eans a college education. H owever, m any Texans can hardly dream of affording tuition and fees at T exas' best universities. The state stands at the edge of a unique opportunity to change this situation. The Texas Legislature has an expect­ ed $6.3 billion budget surplus. W hile there are probably as m any proposals to spend the surplus as there are dollars available, providing m ore college financial aid is a necessi­ ty — n ot an option — for the state to rem ain prosperous. One o f the m ajor factors contributing to the budget sur­ plus is the boom ing econom y. Good times in Texas benefit­ ed the legislative budget, bu t n ot every Texan was invited to the party. The Texas H igher Education Coordinating Board reports that m ore than 46 percent of Texas fam ilies earn less than $25,000. O f all A frican-A m erican and His­ panic fam ilies, 62 percent fall into this category. Texas will jeopardize its futu re econom ic status if the extra m oney is not used to help the fastest-grow ing segm ent of the population — m inorities — contribute to future sur­ pluses. Not even good household book keeping and strict budgets can h elp low w age-earning fam ilies pay for college. Only m ore state m oney for financial aid can m ake a differ­ ence. Last w eek the Texas C om m ission on a Representative Stu­ dent Body, w hich has been studying the effects of the anti­ affirm ative action H opwood cou rt ruling on Texas colleges and universities, called for the state to spend at least $500 m illion m ore each year for financial aid. The recom m endation is for need-based scholarships and grants. It w ould m ake finanical aid available for any under­ graduate student for any school in Texas. If Texas can 't ensure every citizen the opportunity to gain a college education, Texas ca n 't be sure of a prosperous future. Legislators who claim the state can't afford this $500 m illion program are putting state politics ahead of state pri­ orities. Earlier this month, UT President Larry Faulkner said in his State of the University address, "T od ay's Longhorns will be running Texas tom orrow ." If tom orrow 's citizens are poor and uneducated, then there w on't be any surpluses to fight about. Yes, no, maybe If opinion polls indicated that the American public wanted Presi­ dent Clinton to pull a jelly-flavored condom over his head and roll around naked in an oversized sandbox while singing Alanis Mor- risette's "You Oughta Know" in an affected falsetto, he would proba­ bly do it. Today's politicians place so much emphasis on instant polling data that individual leadership threatens to disappear. The age of information has brought on an era in which lawmakers pay too much attention to simplistic polling data when trying to formulate complex policies. Today's breed of politician lives tenuously by the simplistic popu­ the larity contest known as approval rating. A random sample of 1,000 people answer a yes or no question that is really no different from the scribbled "Do you like me?" note passed across the aisle from the freckled girl with bad breath back in the seventh grade. Still, these polls wield a ridicu­ lous amount of influence. The president's inflated approval rat­ ing may ultimately shield him from removal from office. Newt Gingrich's rating, which hovers only slightly above that of the Ebola virus, has led him to cower in the shadows and keep a low Srofile for much of the past year, oping that the public's short attention span will cause it to for­ get what a weasel he really is. Conventional wisdom suggests that the general public would have an educated idea of who to laud and who to lash. Many Americans have an e-mail address, and the majority of those plugged in to the Internet belong to one if not many kinds of mailing groups, a vast number of which deal with poli­ tics. By watching C-SPAN, viewers can directly witness enthralling Senate proceedings and then catch up on the parts they slept through by downloading the previous day's agenda via the World Wide Web. Through the instant avail­ ability of data in the computer'age,- lt's possible that more Americans than ever before have the capabili­ ty to educate themselves on the vagaries of the political process. This should be a good thing. In a sense, instant polling data could be direct democracy at its finest — instant accountability of elected officials to the republic's individ­ ual citizens. Politicians instantly can consult their constituencies on everything from welfare reform to Brian Winter COLUMNIST their next vacation spot. The clas- sic-era Greeks would be proud. But, if mass public approval is all that is needed in the legislative process, then why bother electing leaders? Why not just put every­ thing referendum? The answer: most of the public spends too much time watching Jerry Springer to know the ins and outs of something trivial like welfare reform. to a And we don't generally elect just anybody to high political office. Congressmen hold their offices because they're presumably quali­ fied for the job. Even Sonny Bono made a good congressman because he was smart and politically sawy, not because of his musical skill or some other irrelevant talent. Let's face it; Snoop Doggy Dogg would make a terrible congressman. Pic­ ture the potential headline — "East Coast-West Coast Rivalry Leads To Social Security Cutoff For Califor- m a . Leaders are elected to lead, and sometimes effective statesmanship can be unpopular in the short term. Politicians nave always sweated bullets over re-election, but now they're so hopped up on the quick availability of polling data that many are afraid to make tough decisions. Would segregation, overwhelmingly popular in its day, ever have ended in today's emphasis upon instant gratifica­ tion? Unfortunately, people do not always know what is good for them, at least not right away. The correct decision is not always the immediately popular one. Thus, leaders should not be constricted by the wishes of the masses. That argument comes danger­ ously close to smacking of the kind of political elitism that inspired a century of fascist regimes through­ out the world. On the contrary, the more involved people stay in the political process, the better their leaders will serve them. That is what makes democracy in America so effective. Otherwise, we'd just turn to a benevolent dictator to make all of our decisions for us. Nominations, anyone? "Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry!"

It is not the skeptic's obligation to investigate each and every death; it is the obligation of the accuser to sup­ port whatever claims they make. Nevertheless, talented a researcher named Barbara Mikkelson has debunked name by name the Clinton Body Count list. Her work can be found at http://snopes.sim- plenet. com/spoons/fax lore/clinton.h tm. very The breakdown of the list seems tc be: Ten murders, eight aircraft mishaps, seven suicides, three "mys- Roahn Wynar COLUMNIST terious," four "almost killed" people and 11 now-dead bodyguards. If we are to take the list seriously, all these deaths were murders orchestrated by the Bill Clinton for President machine. However, examination trivial reveals all the classic suicide motiva­ tions were present for the list's seven suicide victims. No. 9 and 10, Kathy Ferguson and Bill Shelton, were despondent lovers. Kathy Ferguson is the ex-wife of an Arkansas state trooper who was codefendant in the Paula Jones lawsuit. Strangely, the trooper is still alive. Shelton, Fergu­ son's boyfriend, killed himself at her gravesite. Suicide No. 5, Ed Willey, was heav­ ily in debt and No. 8, John Wilson, suffered from chronic depression. John Wilson attempted suicide at four other times and has least absolutely no ties to Whitewater, as the list claims. The supposed siiícide of No. 13, Stanley Huggins, a lawyer investigating Madison Guaranty, was actually a death due to pneumo­ nia. The conspiracy nuts who wrote this list are counting on wearing the reader out with lies. The most annoying alleged killing is No. 2, Vincent Foster. Two inde­ pendent investigations came to the same conclusion. It was a suicide, stupid. According to the list's authors, when Clinton's hit men aren't faking suicides, they are brilliantly sabotag­ ing airplanes. The reach of the Clin­ ton saboteurs is awesome. The sup­ posed killers made it as far as Alaska to crash a single-engine private plane (No. 3, C. Victor Raiser II, finance boss of Clinton's presidential cam­ paign), then traveled to war-torn Croatia to destroy a huge military transport (No. 19 Ron Brown, former Commerce Secretary). Apparently they convinced Brown's Air Force pilot to fly into a mountain. The National Transportation Safe­ ty Board investigated all eight air­ craft mishaps and found nothing unusual. Perhaps transparent the most padding of the list is the inclusion of several deaths connected to Little Rock drug dealers spread out between August 1987 and June 1990. The strategy here is to connect any crime in Clinton's homestate with Clinton himself. Two 17-year-old boys, Kevin Ives and Don Henry, (No. 22 and 23) were murdered and run over by a train. They and entries Nos. 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29, who supposedly knew about the murders, made the list. President Clinton had as much con­ nection to these punks as UT Presi­ dent Larry Faulkner does. The list claims that No. 28, James Milam, was decapitated because he also knew something about the Ives and Henry murder. Mikkelson discovered that Milam died three months before the murders. This list is not even a well- done lie. Two of the "mysterious" deaths, No. 4, Paul Tully, Democratic National Commitee Political Direc­ tor, and No. 17, Paul Wilcher, a lawyer, are actually well understood. Tully, an overweight heavy drinker and smoker died of a heart attack,! and Wilcher just died at home on his; toilet of natural causes. Wilcher has1 no known connection to Clinton any-! way, except that they both lived in; Washington. The "dead bodyguards" part is’ especially funny to those who follow conspiracy theories. It has long been- claimed that agents from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms killed at Waco were former Arkansas State troopers set up by Clinton to die. This, ridiculous chestnut has been recycled again for this list. It is simply untrue. Also on the list are four marines; who worked at Marine Helicopter* Squadron One, the aviation unit! responsible for transporting the pres-! ident. They died in an aircraft mishap* while performing a maintenance-! check flight. It is completely plausi-! ble that these marines never even* spoke to the president. Unless Clin-! ton was having sex on airborne qnili-; tary helicopters, there would be no* reason to kill these marines. None of these people can even remotely be considered bodyguards. Body cotint lists are a product of "coincidence culling." Similar "mys­ terious coincidences" have been floating around for years. The most famous may be the Kennedy-Lincolri list with great entries like "Lincoln died in Ford's theater, Kennedy died in a Ford." J The Clinton list is popular among ultra right-wing wackos who would' rather demonize their president than do even rudimentary critical think­ ing. This, we are sad to say, is no coincidence.

FIRING LINE A dream I have an idea that is in no way analogous Jo the affirmtive action issue being so hotly debated now. I think that we need more white peo­ ple in professional basketball. Whites have a short but nonetheless "blatant" history of being "discrim­ inated" against when it comes to this great game. I mean, take a look out onto the court. There are simply too few whites out there. But take heart, the answer is oh-so simple: governmental intervention, baby. Just a few simple governmental guidelines mandating that profes­ sional organizations consider race as qualification for team member­ ship, and all would be well. Never mind the fact that this would severely hamper some very worthy black players from getting to play, or that it would severely decrease the overall skill level of the player pool, or that race has nothing to do with athletic ability. A great idea, right? Robert Hartzler Chemical engineering sophomore thing that comes to mind when I hear this is an episode of the Wonder Years when’a bunch of junior high kids decided to walk out. Can no one think of a better, less disruptive way to protest? What about those of us who aren't in favor of affirmative action? I'm not writing this to debate the issue, but I don't appreciate the fact that my education is going to be put on hold while some student groups try to make a statement. I think that the teach-in is a great concept; I'm not opposed to hearing someone else's point of view. In fact, the exchange of ideas promotes healthy, intelligent conversation, and that's where we're* going to find a solution. But when people try to throw their opinion in my face and go out of their way to create friction, that only fuels my desire to resist what they're saying. I just think that a walkout is not the best way to bring attention to the issue. See? You've already got my atten­ just by writing the story. tion We've gotten past the cooties; can we get rid of the tantrums? Travis Broussard Liberal arts freshman Walk-out dumb I don't think the maturity level of this University has ever been insult­ ed as much as when some of its stu­ dents proposed a walkout. The first Southan absurd I have been bothered by every editorial Rhys Southan has written this fall but I haven't been com­ pelled to respond to him until now. In Monday's editorial about intel­ lectual diversity, Southan asserts that "radio-television-film students are required to take one semester of math. It's highly doubtful this will be of much use to television pro­ ducers." throat." He claims that this math require­ ment is an example of UT adminis­ trators "shoving random, useless classes down our In Southan's conspiracy theory-orient­ ed mind, the administrators, a.k.a. Big Brother, require one measly math course in order to oppress stu­ dents and turn them into obedient and submissive robots of the sys­ tem. I have rarely heard anything more absurd. I am reminded of my junior and senior high school days when we use to whine that math and science will not help us in the real world. I have learned rather quickly that math skills are impor­ tant no matter your occupation. Those in glamorous jobs such as modeling and television producing often escape math by hiring some­ one else to do it for them but some­ times are taken advantage of because of their ignorance. Besides, t what are the chances that an RTF student is going to become a televi­ sion producer, anyway? And while we are on the subject 1 / e d n Z w ©1998 s u r r e a l @ m a i l . n t e x a s . e i i u television, of oppression and shouldn't we be more worried about the oppressive effects of tele­ vision than college course prerequi­ sites?

FIRING LINE T h e D a il y T e x a n Wednesday, October 2 1 , 1 9 9 8 Page 5 Worship Pink Unicorns "And yea, there shall be those who reject the touch of the Holy Hooves and Sabred Horn; and they will say in their hearts, "There is no Invisible Pink Unicom. And on the Day of the Falling of the Holy Uni­ com Manure, the Unicorn's faithful shall rise up to the Holy Pastures, and all those who hardened their hearts against Her shall be left to clean up the mess." These inspired lines from the Exalted Book of the Invisible Pink Unicorn plainly show that funda­ mentalist Christian bigots will not be welcome in the Holy Grazing pastures of the Afterlife. Change your evil ways or perish! The above two paragraphs don't make a lot of sense, do they? That's exactly what these current bicker­ ings over the Judeo-Christian Bible sound like to me and to millions of other free thinkers and atheists. I would find the debate over the Bible to be wholly amusing if it did­ n't have such a direct and unwel­ come impact on my life. If there really is some omni-this and omni-that deity who's so vital­ ly concerned with what I do with maybe my penis, then he /she /it /they should let me know personally, because I wouldn't trust you bozos to philosophize your way out of a wet paper sack. Tom Moore Computer science sophomore BLT hypocrites To all of those who want to judge homosexuality based on what their Bibles say: "And the swine, because it parts die hoof but does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch." Deut. 14-8 No more BLT's for you! And let's not even go to the adtiltery part ... you might find out that you have to go stone your mom to death if she divorced your dad and m arried someone else. Victor M. Martinez Chemical engineering graduate student Scriptural wisdom Oh, thank God. Just when Chuck Monney and Victor Ray Chapman (Firing Line, Tuesday) had me con­ vinced that I was going to hell just for being a queer boy, Jason Traxel and his Scriptural words of wisdom reminded me that I'll end up there with 98 percent of everybody else, anyway. See you guys there. Taking Hell for the Longhorns. John Cooper Communication sciences and disorders graduate student Walk before you fly Rhys Southan needs to learn the value of education. To make the claim an RTF major doesn't need to take m ath because he or she is going to be a television producer. First, how do you know? Are you a producer? Are you sure you and all RTF majors will be, or is there a slight chance you might have a . management job at a television sta­ tion? Maybe you'll just be a coffee boy forever. Second, don't producers typically have a budget? How the hell do you figure out what it is without math? Third, in most disciplines you have to walk before you fly. That's why you take math before you take physics, or a class in finance. But this goes for any class you are told you have to take. There may not be "enough place­ ment tests to prevent all students from wasting time by learning what they already know," but you are a freshman. After you've been at UT for a year, you will find out you know a hell of a lot less than you think you do. That's why you went to college, although you probably weren't smart enough to realize it. You're not going to achieve the diversity of education you perceive isn't there with the ridiculous atti­ tude of "W hy do I have to take THAT class?" Paul Murray UT alumnus 1995 UT 'choices' Is there a special com m ittee devoted to screwing with students? I received a letter in the mail today from the registrar's office concern­ ing directory information. As was my option, I requested that the uni­ versity not give out personal infor­ mation to anyone who asked, but only confirm my enrollment. Well, I've now been informed: "... that the University has revised its interpretation of directory informa­ tion and of the restriction of this information under the Federal Edu­ cational Rights and Privacy Act. U nder the new in terp retation , absolutely no information about you will be provided without your express written permission. We will be unable even to confirm that you are currently enrolled. Furthermore, your d irectory inform ation will remain restricted until you revoke the restriction in w riting. This means that verification of dates of enrollment and degrees awarded will not be made even after you arc no longer enrolled." The letter goes on to tell me where to go to revoke my restric­ tion on my student academic record blah blah blah. Well duh! Like I have a choice now? Thanks a lot. Stuart Hillyer Biology senior Maher planning stinks The D istinguished Speakers Com m ittee has booked a great guest for Parents Weekend. Bill Maher will be speaking at Gregory Gym on Saturday at 8 p.m. for the benefit of all. All meaning all of those students and parents not attending that little football eame being held all the way down the hill from Gregory. It's scary to me that the committee didn't think there was a chance of a conflict between the game and the event. And it's even scarier to think that they might have known there would be a time conflict and proceeded to book Maher and pay the speakers' fee anyway, knowing only a hand­ ful of students would be willing and able to attend. Is Bill Maher that good that the committee thought that droves of students would willingly eat the cost of their game tickets and pay the extra m oney to see M aher speak? He, the host of an overrated TV show and star of The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or whatever the hell he pawned off as a movie. I understand that football isn't as big a priority for some students as it is for others, but next time a distin­ guished speaker is booked, perhaps the committee get one that fits the bill as distinguished and puts it at a time when a majority of students can attend.

Students discuss impact of ‘Beloved’ Cecily Sailer Daily Texan Staff In a response to the popularity of the new movie based on Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Beloved, a group of students gathered Tuesday to discuss their reactions to the film and the impact it carries to mass audiences. "T he m ainstream can learn a lot from this so-called minority film," said Joseph Trum, a marketing representa­ tive from Buena Vista Pictures, which sponsored the event along with Sigma Tau Delta, an English-honor fraternity. The forum, entitled "Toni Morrison in th e M a in stre a m ," o p e n e d w ith rem arks on M orrisoifs developm ent into a popular author, her reluctance to sell the screen rights and the skepti­ cism surrounding Hollywood's inter­ pretations of literary works. "It w ould be sacrilege to m ake a movie that would attempt to do justice ■ to Morrison's work, but this film has successfully m ade that achievement," said UT professor of English Helena Woodard, who has taught a class on Momson at the University. "It has out­ grown the expectations of many crit­ ics." Woodard and UT professor of histo­ ry Kevin Gaines led the discussion Tuesday. Woodard talked about casting selec­ tions, symbolism, and the "raw real­ ism" of the film that she said the public may not hav e been ready for. G ain es said he felt M o rriso n 's accomplishments have revolutionized American perspectives on slavery in the context of history, literature, and Kevin Gaines, professor of history, and Helena W oodard, history of slavery and has approached issues from angles associate professor of English, participate in a forum on Toni not approached before. The forum w a s sponsored by the M orrison, the Pulitzer Prize w inner who w rites about the Sigma Tau Delta fraternity. Matthew Hempel/DAILY TEXAN STAFF the country's understanding of nation­ al identity. “This novel explores the im plica­ tions of the history of slavery for black identity as well as w hite identity," Gaines said. The forum was then opened for dis­ cussion, which hit the issues of race, gender,the effects of slaveiy, and the talk-show stardom of Opran Winfrey, w h o h e lp e d b rin g the film to the screen. Some students expressed the con­ cern th a t th o se w ho h a d seen the m ovie w ith o u t re a d in g th e book w o u ld come aw ay w ith o u t u n d e r­ standing the novel's message. Cindi Hogwood, vice president of Sigm Tau Delta, said she was afraid moviegoers would expect the movie to be as straight-forward and sensational as other slavery movies such as Glory, Amistad, and Roots. “I th in k people d id n 't expect the power that was there," Hogwood said. “They w eren't ready for that portrayal — that very personal level of a very painful experience." But the majority of the forum 's 20 attendees said they felt the translation of the novel to film was a good thing because its exposure to larger a u d i­ ences might inspire some to learn more about issues of race. “We see it as a film. It is a separate art form that works in tandem with the novel b u t is not in terch an g eab le," Woodard said. "Because it generates a fresh in terest, it Wor£s, an d th a t's good."

With only the 10th-best rush defense in the Big 12, Baylor will no doubt stack the line of scrimmage in an effort to contain the nation's lead­ ing Heisman candidate. Safety Rodney Smith will probably spend most of his time keeping an eye on Williams and will have to run him down anytime he breaks through the defensive line — a job that will likely prove to be very tire­ some. Williams, on the other hand, will continue his pursuit of Tony Dorsett's career rushing mark against the Bears.

The question is — will nine men be enough Jo stop him? — By Mike Wilson, Daily Texan staff Defense Continued from page 9 yards per game, down drastically from the opening three games. that "We're starting to look like a defense is well-coached," Brown said. "At the beginning of the yeai, we were just bad. It seemed like guys weren't responding to the call, and we couldn't figure out why." The Longhorn defenders have even begun to foster something missing since the so-called "Shock the Nation" team of 1990 — swag­ ger. engaged After the OU game, many defen­ sive players in an impromptu dance near midfield of the Cotton Bowl, which Brown immediately condemned. But at least it's a start. "I think our confidence level is certainly higher than it was a few weeks ago," said linebacker Dusty Renfro, who leads the team with 56 tackles. "That's a good thing, because confidence is what will help us more than anything." As the Horns prepare for a visit from Baylor this weekend, however, the buzzword is consistency. Has Texas finally fielded a compe­ tent defense? Or has it thrived against inferior opponents like Rice, Iowa State, and Oklahoma? Longhorn players they're now the real deal. insist that "If you consistently hold teams with good athletes down, that's going to lift your spirits up," said Walker, who got the first two inter­ ceptions of his career against the Cyclones on Oct. 3. "One play can turn a whole game or season around." Soccer Continued from page 9 defeated. The Aggies lead the all- time series 6-0. According to Pibulvech, the Long­ horns and Aggies have traveled very similar roads this year. Like the Longhorns, A&M defeated Col­ orado, 3-0, and A&M also lost to No. 2 Santa Clara. But with the Aggies losing many of their star players to the graduation, one advantage Longhorns may have over the A&M is depth. "We don't want to build a team based solely on gamebreakers," Pibulvech said. "Our team philoso­ phy is to build a solid base that can replace each other. A&M is a sea­ soned team, but a good one." Texas hopes a win over the Aggies will help improve its position head­ ing into the Big 12 Conference Tour­ nament.

Fri­ day night, No. 13 Colorado downed the Aggies in four games, and on Sunday the Aggies fell in four games to No. 3 Nebraska. With the previous two thoughts in mind, many Longhorn players believe that Texas will have a much easier time beating A&M this time around than they did the first time the two squads met this year — a five-game nail-biter that the Horns won. "I think they're not necessarily scared, but more so worried about us," senior Demetria Sance.said. For Texas (13-3, 7-1 Big 12), this past weekend's road swing ended on a much more upbeat note. After falling to Nebraska in straight games Friday, Texas rallied back the next day to take a five-game victory over Colorado. With the win, the Horns held on to second place in the conference standings. A&M is cur­ rently in fourth place. ly gone into the tournament ranked anywhere from fourth to sixth place. "We know we're a better team than that," Pibulvech said. "Our goal is to qualify and get another shot at teams like Baylor and Nebraska." Pibulvech is hoping that a victory over A&M will lead to the Long­ horns steamrolling through the remainder of their season. "I'm optimistic [that we can win these games]," he said. "My opti­ mism isn't based on wishful think­ ing. My optimism is always based on the ability of my team and what we're capable of and what the potential is. It's all boils down to execution, luck and opportunity. You have to make sure that you're on top of your game." rently in fourth place. Saturday's victory included a sparkling performance from a num­ ber of players on the Texas side of the net. Erin Aldrich and Katie Austin collected their first triple­ doubles of their career, while also helping to guide a front-line that broke both school and conference marks for blocks-assist at 47 and the conference record for total blocks at 27, and the All-American Sanee posted a personal-best 28 digs. However, that number is a far cry from the 38 digs Stacy Sykora tallied for the Aggies in the teams' previous meetings. Sykora got the better of Sanee statistically, totaling 28 kills and 38 digs to Sance's 25-dig, 25-kill night. While the Longhorns came out on top in the end, Texas coach Jim Moore remains concerned. "Obviously we have to deal with Sykora and we have to figure out how to deal with certain things that they were doing against us that were very effective," Moore said. "But I still think if we take care of our­ selves we won't have many prob­ lems." of 54 save chances during the regu­ lar season, though a blown chance in the NLCS against Atlanta perhaps was a bad omen. 0 After O'Neill's walk, Bemie Williams came close to putting the Yankees ahead, hitting a fly ball that Gwynn caught on the warning track in right, lino Martinez followed with a walk and then Brosius, moved up to sixth in the batting order because the Yankees played without a DH, home- red to center for a 5-3 lead. "We wanted to be aggressive," Hoffman said. "I wasn't aggressive enough to the batter before. I just tinkered around, not putting pitches in the zone. The Yankees are patient, and they're not going to swing if it's not over."

PAUL, Minn. — A s a profes­ sional wrestler, he w as known as Jesse "The Body" Ventura, a loud­ m o u th bad g u y w ho stru tte d around the ring with a feather boa. Now, as a third-party candidate for governor of Minnesota, Ventu­ ra is p u ttin g a b o d y sla m on Dem ocrat Hubert H um phrey III, once considered the far-and-away front-runner. A Sta r Tniu/ne-KMSP-TV poll released Tuesday showed Ventura with an astonishing 21 percent — well back in third place but double his standing shortly after the Sept. 15 primary. More to the point, H um phrey has dropped into a dead heat with Republican St. Paul M ayor Norm Coleman, 35 percent to 34 percent, w ell within the p o ll's m argin of e rro r o f 3.5 p e rc e n ta g e p o in ts. Humphrey had been 20 points up on Coleman after the primary. With the bluster of a man who has pinned his share of opponents to the c a n v a s, V en tu ra sa id : "W e 're g o in g to w in it in tw o w eek s and th ey're not g o in g to know what hit 'em." The 47-y ear-o ld V e n tu ra, an actor, former suburban mayor and talk-radio host, has yet to run a TV comm ercial, but his anti-govern­ ment, anti-tax m essage as the can­ didate of the Reform Party is hav­ ing an effect. Over and over he has won crowds with his growling dis­ dain of politics. Ventura, w hose w restling hey­ day w as in the 1970s and '8 0 s, showed up at one forum in black jeans, a cam ouflage sLjirt and the A ustralian bu sh hat with snake- skin band he w ore in the m ovie Predator. Humphrey and Coleman wore suits. With his bald head and snarl, Ventura is an irresistible alterna­ tive to p in str ip e d p o litic ia n s. When asked how he w ould deal with stubborn legislator^, he flexed his substantial biceps. Ventura's appeal is attitude, not issues, said Steven Schier, a Car- leton College political science pro­ fessor: "The guy's got more testos­ terone than his oppon en ts com ­ bined." " Je s s e h as e n te rta in ed in the cam paign," Coleman said. "H e has the freedom to do and say and go unchallenged." Schiep described the voter mood as: "Everything's going fine in this sta te so le t 's h av e a p a r ty and invite Jesse." Humphrey and Cole­ man are "perfect straight men for Jesse's act" because they are both serious politicians, he said. M o r e o v e r , H u m p h r e y ' s c a m ­ paign has been in "freeze the ball" mode since the primary, and Cole­ m an's campaign has been without a theme, Schier said. H u m p h re y w a s the early fa v o rite b e ca u se o f his fa m o u s name — he's the son of the former vice president — and because he oversaw M innesota's $6.1 billion settlement of a lawsuit against the tobacco industry earlier this year. Coleman is a former Democrat and Humphrey protege who switched to the GOP two years ago. A lth o u g h V en tura sta k e s his claim as an outsider, he w as the mayor of the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park, a community of about 60,000, from 1991 to 1994. The city w as run by a city m anag­ er, bu t V en tu ra co n siste n tly o p p o se d tax in creases and took credit for a drop in crime. R ivals com p lain that he is all style and no substance. Ventura has not released a detailed tax plan other than to say he w ould veto increases and return surpluses. He tapped a schoolteacher to be his lieutenant governor running mate, adm itting he know s little abo u t education. Humphrey's camp predicted the ex-wrestler's support will fade as the Nov. 3 election approaches. "There's a certain segment of the p o p u la tio n th at d o e s love the show," Humphrey aide Eric John­ son said . But he said those s u p ­ porters are not especially likely to vote. . This week, Ventura taped his cam paign son g, a rem ake of the "Them e From Shaft." The lyrics: "When the other guys were cash­ ing government checks, he w as in the N avy getting dirty and w et." V en tu ra, a form er N av y S E A L , "Y o u 'r e m ak in g m e g ro w ls: blush." "Who else would dare do a com­ m ercial like th at?" Ventura said. "Only me, because I'm not a career politician." Woman denied abortion in Louisiana gets one in Texas Associated Press A heart transplant candidate from Louisiana underwent an abortion in Texas on Tuesday because she could not find a doctor willing perform the surgery in her home state. Louisiana law allows hospitals to tu rn d o w n alm o st all a b o rtio n s, leaving few choices for patients such as M ich elle Lee, 26, w h ose heart condition poses too many risks for her to have the procedure at a clinic. L ee has a w eak, irregu lar heart beat that makes pregnancy danger­ ous for her and the fetus, her cardi­ ologist, Paul Stafford, has said. Obstetrician Bernard Rosenfeld, w ho p erform ed the abortion at a Houston hospital, said the surgery lasted ten minutes. "Everything went fine," he said. "She w as a very good patient." Lee, a d iv o rced m other of a 5- year-old and a 3-year-old, received all her previous health care at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport. H os­ pital policy allows abortions only in cases of rape or incest or when there is a greater than 50 percent chance the w om an w ill die u n le ss sh e receives an abortion, said sp o k e s­ woman Elaine King. "I refer you to state la w ," King said. "State em ployees and public institutions cannot provide an abor­ tion except in three cases: To save the life of the mother, or if the preg­ nancy w as the product of rape or incest." Although Stafford said the preg­ nancy could severely strain Lee's w eak heart and the m edicine she takes is known to harm fetuses, he stopped short of saying there was a greater than 50 percent chance Lee would die without an abortion. "S h e has severe life-threatening arrhyth m ias which have required the placement of a defibrillator," he wrote in an Oct. 8 letter recommend­ ing that she receive an abortion. Stafford declined a request for an interview. Stephanie Mueller o f the National Abortion Federation in Washington, D.C., said Louisiana law would have a llo w e d Ms. L ee's ab ortion, since her life was in danger. "U n d e r the law, it would be legal for Michelle to obtain an abortion at LSU. We believe this has everything to d o with politics and nothing to do with the medical situation and the welfare of the patient," she said. A n a m b u l a n c e d r o v e h er 240- miles M onday to Houston from her home in Bossier City. The National Abortion Federation raised m oney to c o v e r th e c o s ts , e s t i m a t e d at $7,000-$10,000, including the trans­ portation.

Longhorn Horoscopes T b i s a life A ries (M arch 21-April 19): With illness sp re ad in g ram p an t across cam pus, take extra precautions the next few d ay s to take care o f yourself. Your body is a temple. Treat it well. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Inspiration through love can be found in explor­ ing creative activities. Think o f giving your partner a fewr ideas about what you desire, and your w ish m ay be their com m and. Gemini (May 21-June 20): Generosity and love can be found in giving before you are the recipient of a gift. A s you m ay be an anxious soul, patience will be the m aster of d isas­ ter. Cancer (June 21-July 22): O ddities in the w orld m ay befuddle you at times, but it is best to stay grounded on those concepts that you feel com ­ fortable with. You m ay not be as big of an adventurer as you think. Leo (July 23-A ug. 22): With every rise there is a fall and you m ay be com ing close to that point. To avoid any severe disappointm ents, stock up your reserves of cash, love and h ap p in ess a back-up to have resource. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Talking about som ething and actually acting on it are two different things. If you are looking for change, consult a Scorpio or Gemini. With their cycles com ing strong into new d evelop­ ments, you will find these friends m ay be your link to success. Libra (Sept. 23-O ct 22): Good luck is yours if you make it. Your positive changes lately have im proved your status socially and financially. There is alw ays room for more though. Go for it. (Oct. S c o rp io 23-Nov. 21): R eturning back to th ose th ings which m ake you h appy m ay offer you a bit of relief from your bland schedule. A s the season changes, your love life is beginning to com e into perspective. It is your decision if it is for the better or worse. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Taking care o f dom estic matters may be in your best interest. Unexpected com ­ pany m ay stop by this evening, m ak­ ing judgem ents on your place. It is best to have them think you're clean. Just a thought. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It is the little things in life that get to you som etim es, but the big rew ards you receive, if you let these, slide will be plentiful. Keep an optim istic outlook. Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. ' A q u ariu s (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A sec­ ond opinion may be heeded in per­ sonal m atters. torn between two issues, a th ird . party m ay help you reach a com prom ise agreement. Not everything has to'be your w ay all the time. If you are Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Pushing you r w ay through a crow d to get ahead will just send you into a lot of chaos. Think of usin g strategy to pull you r w ay through tight circum ­ stances. It is the w ise, not the brazen, w ho com e out ahead. — by Natalie Burgin, Daily Texan Staff if iD U ^3 bo^hy liusffiaol. com HfT D l05 ..
