Sodexho Alliance owns 8 percent of stock in CCA, which has been accused of numerous human rights violations, said Kevin Prarus, a board member for the Prison Moratorium Project, an information resource group based in New York City. Prartis added that despite promises made by Sodexho Alliance to divest its shares in the pri­ vate prison industry, it has increased its invest­ ments by purchasing 100 percent ownership in the United Kingdom Detention Services and the Corrections Corporation of Australia. Bob LibaL a communication studies and gov­ ernment sophomore who attended the meeting, said the false premises made by Sodexho were meant to respond to student protests around the country. "Despite what Sodexho Alliance says, they've made no efforts to divest any of their shares in CCA and instead have, since their original announcement, obtained full ownership of two prison agencies, " Libal said. "That would indi­ cate that they're trying to appease student pro­ testers across the country when, in actuality, fur­ thering their involvement with CCA and the for-profit prison industry." Steven Owen, director of marketing for CCA, said Thursday that allegations of human rights abuses are false. "That is absolutely not true," Owen said. "Oftentimes we are held to higher standards than our govermental counterparts, and we must meet all state laws and federal laws." Aaron Garza, president of the Undergraduate Student Association and a communication stud­ ies sophomore, said administrators should seri­ ously consider concerns of student protesters and Student Government, who recently passed a resolution opposing the renewal of the Sodexho-Marriot contract. "The students have made a mandate — end the contract with Sodexho-Marriot," Garza said. "And because students comprise this University, the student interest should be the University" s interest" Faulkner said when a company's integrity is being questioned, the allegations against the company should be accurate. "If the behaviors demonstrated [by CCA pris­ ons] are egregious, then certainly we need to look at them," Faulkner said. "But the University also believes in not convicting people on hearsay." Libal said students .provided Faulkner with a 30-page packet at the meeting that documents student opposition to the contract and cites human rights abuses that have been document­ ed by several human rights organizations. "Students have done a really good job at researching the misdoings of CCA, and the administration need not look much further than looking at condemnations by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and by sev­ eral state governors who already threatened to or already ended contracts because of numerous human rights violations and because of CCA's reluctance to allow investigations by state agen­ cies," Libal said. The decision to contract with a bidder will be made by the middle of May, said Faulkner, who added that the University is not equipped to Saa SODEXHO, Pa** 2 F ig h tin g F ir e Symposium honors Nobel prize legacy UTprize w inner says award did not alter his life By Carl Hammerstrom Daily Texan Staff Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first awarding of the Nobel Prize, tire UT Swedish Studies Program held the 2001 Swedish Symposium, "The Nobel Prizes: A Legacy of Achievement," Saturday at the Peter T. Flawn Academic Center. The symposium, organized with the help of the College of Liberal Arts and the Department of Germanic Studies and fund­ ed by the Swedish Studies Excellence Endowment, attracted about 100 people to listen to keynote speaker Steven Weinberg, who received the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics. Weomberg also holds the Jack S. Josey-Welch Foundation Chair in Science at the University and will give the commence­ ment speech to graduates in May. Madeline Gustafsson, a literary critic at the Dagens Nyheter, a Swedish newspaper also spoke about the Nobel Prize in litera­ ture, and UT professors and students pre­ sented excerpts from Nobel prize-winning Scandinavian books in their original lan­ guages and in English. The goal of the symposium was to raise money for the Swedish Studies Excellent Endowment, a private fund established five years ago by descendants of Swedish immi­ grants to Texas in order to further Swedish studies, said Carrin Patman, chair of the Swedish Studies Excellent Endowment Natalie Zalgo/Daily Texan Staff Steven Weinberg, a physics professor and Jack S.

"You can't see anything at all," said Alex Papavasiliou, an economics junior and Sigma Chi member. "I can't believe these people do this for a living. They have some­ thing in their heart — to say the least." The tunnel exercise, part of the Greek Fhe v Academy, was set up by a committee after a three-alarm fire caused about $1.5 million in damage to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fra­ ternity house in December. There were no injuries. The committee, which consisted of mem­ bers of the Austin Fire Department, the Interfratemity Council and Greek organiza­ tions, established guidelines to raise aware­ ness of fire safety. The event was sponsored by AFD, IFC and the University and held at tí\e AFD Bill Roberts Training Center.

The Greek Fire Academy also taught students how to extinguish furniture and kitchen-grease fires, climb a seven-story building on the fire engine ladder, per­ form hoseline operations and use fire extinguishers. Before getting dressed in bunker gear for the after­ noon activities, the day-long event included morning classes on fire-fighting operations and fire-combustion principles. Kevin Baum, AFD assistant fire marshall, said an average of three fires occur yearly in the West Campus area. "They require a full AFD response. That's a signifi­ cant amount of fires for a very small amount of occu­ pancies in the area," Baum said. "We're requesting they contact us before these parties so we can make sure their homes are safe." Fire-safety basics commonly violated, such as alarms, fire extinguishers and kitchen problems, increase the. chance erf a possible fire, Baum said. "Some students don't take some erf the basic fea­ tures of fire safety seriously," Baum said. "We want to have an opportunity to get into these houses before the parties and show them where the hazards are." Clay Spencer IFC president, said the age and size of houses make them more susceptible to fires. "The inherent fire danger in fraternity and sorority houses is huge," said Spencer a Plan II junior and Kappa Alpha member. "We fall under all those dan­ gers that exist, and that's why we need to take so many precautions." Baum said when residences host more han 50 peo­ ple for entertainment purposes without home inspec­ tion, hey illegally change the use oj- the occupa ncy from multi-family residential to a public assembly.

He added that since the con­ tract will last for seven years, student opinion is of the utmost importance.

Awarding of Nobel Prize has changed over the years, symposium NOBEL, from 1 Nobel, a Swedish inventor who stipulated in his will that his fortune be used to award individuals who have "conferred h e greatest benefit to mankind," in the areas of literature, peace, physics, chemistry, eco­ nomics and medicine. Weinberg challenged that statement, saying h at the peace and literature prizes are political in nature and have overlooked great writers like William Faulkner and James Joyce, whereas scientific prizesare given purely for discovery and have not overlooked any sizable scientific achievement. 'Tor physicists, h e Nobel prize matters more," Weinberg said. "The record is much better and there are fewer glaring omissions. As far as I know, politics do not enter in." He added that the physics prize is not as widely publicized, making it easier for scientists to maintain normal lives after receiving the prize. "The scientific enterprise is very healthy in taking its figures and not turning them into sages or gurus," Weinberg said. He added that he lives a normal life even hough people outside the physic» realm tend to make an idol out of a Nobel Prize winner. Gustafsson's view of the Nobel Prize for literature differed from Weinberg's. "[The Swedish Academy] can't give it to everybody that has merited," Gustafsson said. "People tend to treat file Swedish Academy as one entity that has never changed." Over its 100 year history, Nobel's will has been interpreted differently, at first idealistically and hen loosely during the world wars. There were even a few years where the prize wasn't awarded during WWII because it was impossible to be neutral, Gustafsson said. She said the academy has become wary of giving the literature prize to Swedes because hey were over­ represented in h e beginning. She added h at the acad­ emy has become less euroeentric in giving the prize. As the world becomes more globally orientated, translators make it easier for linguistically underrep­ resented countries to have a chance, Gustaffson said. "Being badly translated is a catastrophe," she said. "Quality is very essential." Patman also expressed her delight that h e University may soon have another Nobel prize-win­ ning auhor in Lars Gustafsson, a UT philosophy pro­ fessor. "We have high hopes for Lars Gustafsson, a poet, novelist and philosopher" Patman said. "He is proba­ bly Sweden's most famous modem writer." Life sentence worse than execution, Artis says ARTIS, from 1 tional violations. The U S. Supreme Court later declined to hear an appeal of the overturning. Artis said he would never seek repa­ rations for false conviction because five government couldn't return the 15 years he spent in prison. . "What was most valuable to me was having my name cleared, my family name cleared, exonerated, so that my father could hold his head up and say, 'My son wasn't the one,"' Artis said. Prior to his arrest and conviction, Artis said, he had believed five justice system was impartial and infallible. "We're supposed to feel entirely safe that if we end up in a courtroom, we will be adjudicated on purely the facts," Artis said. Citing what he called the "human element" in the judicial system, Artis said people don't always have the same chance to prove their innocence in the courtroom as others, which is especially detrimental in death penalty cases. "Unfortunately, our economic sys­ tem says you get what you payfor," Artis said. "Sometimes you get lucky and you get a [lawyer] who wants to battle for your life, but they're few and far between." Artis said court-appointed attorneys in death penalty cases are often inexpe­ rienced recent law school graduates. As a result wealthier people who can hire their own lawyers are less likely to receive five death penalty, he said. "Affluent people don't die in this country," Artis said. "Prisons are full of people who don't have any money." Artis also criticized the death penalty as vengeance on the part of victims'fam­ ilies rather than adequate punishment of criminals. He said his experience in prison led him to believe that a life sen­ tence is much worse than execution. "Lock a guy up, [and] if it takes him 100 years to die, tough," Artis said. "Death is a reprieve." Lemont Henderson, a UT alumnus who attended the talk, said he agreed that the death penalty is applied incon­ sistently but still supports capital pun­ ishment. "Give them any means to prove their innocence, but once thaf s done, that's it," Henderson said. Laura Luthy, a computer science adviser; said she agreed with Artis' con­ tention that capital punishment isn't the most severe punishment for criminals. "I appreciated what he had to say about it not really being punishment," Luthy said. "It's not having to live with what you did." Enrique Cortez, a history senior who attended fire talk, said he had hoped Artis would talk more about solutions to the inconsistencies within the justice system. “ I do wish he would have spoken more at length about alternatives," Cortez said.

Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon accused the Palestinian leadership of not doing enough to pre­ vent such attacks, and the slim prospect of renewed security cooperation between the two sides appeared to be evaporating with the latest outburst of violence. "The Palestinian Authority is not adhering to agreements in which it obligated itself to prevent acts of terror against Israel," Sharon said in a state­ ment released by his office. "Israel views the Palestinian Authority as responsible for the attack." Palestinian Cabinet minister Ziad Abu Zayyad said the Palestinian leadership condemned the attack. However; he said Sharon's government was "encouraging extremism and violence because1 they themselves are causing a lot of damage and casual­ ties among Palestinian civilians." Israeli and Palestinian security chiefs held four hours of U.S.-sponsored talks Saturday night with the aim of restoring some of the joint security efforts drat have broken down during seven months of fighting. But Sunday morning, the attacker set off the bomb just after 9 am. as a bus stopped to pick up passengers along a busy street in the middle-class suburb of Kfar Saba, police said. "When the bus arrived, a suicide bomber approached it and leaned against it while setting off a device," said police commander Yehuda Bahar. Many victims were heading to work Sunday, the beginning of the work week in Israel. Ambulances and rescue services rushed to the scene, and police sealed off the area. "Everyone was hysterical. I saw people pushing to get out the back door of the bus and I saw the driver on the ground covered with blood," said wit­ ness Noam Baraket. Mario Goldin, a 53-year-old Israeli doctor, was killed in the attack. Most of the 50 people wounded were only lightly injured, though a 14-year-old Israeli boy was badly hurt, a hospital said. Two bombs went off last week in Kfar Saba but no one was killed. The suburb is northeast of Tel Aviv, only a few miles from the Palestinian-controlled city' of Kalkilya, in the West Bank. Israel had stepped up security in the area following the recent bombings. Later Sunday, an explosive device went off near a major northern intersection outside the port dty of Haifa, slightly injuring three policemen. The device exploded while an officer was trying to defuse it. The police said the incident was politically motivat­ ed. Israel has been rocked by repeated bombings car­ ried out by militants since the Palestinian uprising began last fall. Sharon has pledged swift and harsh retaliation, and Israel has carried out several raids in recent weeks following mortar attacks by Palestinians. No one claimed responsibility for Sunday's bombing at the bus stop, though militant Palestinian groups have either taken responsibility or been blamed by Israel for recent attacks. In another development, a member of Palestinian security forces, injured last Monday in an Israeli raid, has died of his wounds, a Palestinian hospital said Sunday. Madhi Khalil Madhi, 35, was badly hurt when an artillery shell hit the security com­ pound where he was working in the Gaza Strip. Also, tike body of an Israeli man was found in the trunk of his car in a Palestinian-controlled area in the West Bank, near Ramallah. Israeli police said they suspected the man, Stanislav Sandomirski, 38, was killed by Palestinians in a politically motivated attack, though the case was still under investigation. The recent violence was the focus of Saturday's security talks, but the Palestinians said the sides also discussed the possibility of resuming the peace process.

Associated Press Agreement provides incentive to preserve future democracy By The Associated Press QUEBEC— Western Hemisphere leaders Sunday signed an agreement to open their markets by December 2005, with a warning that countries would lose their chance to be part of the world's most ambitious free- trade zone if they depart from democratic government. In their final statement after a three-day summit, President Bush and 33 other lead­ ers from North and South America and the Caribbean pledged to finish negotiations on the free-trade zone by January 2005, with the pact to take effect by the end of that year. They insisted that democracy was "fun­ damental to the advancement of all our objectives," adding that any "unconstitu­ tional alteration or interruption of the dem­ ocratic order ... constitutes an insurmount­ able obstacle" to participation in further hemispheric trade talks. The leaders signed the document in pairs, sitting down at a table two at a time to scrawl their names as Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien, the summit host, watched over their shoulders like a proud parent. "I learned a lot," said Bush, attending his first international summit. "There is no question in my mind that we have chal­ lenges ahead of us. Also, there is no question that we can meet those challenges." Mexican President Vicente Fox called the summit "a great step for the entire hemi­ sphere" and said they had taken negotia­ tions from "dark rooms behind doors" and made them more open. Bush said some people in the United States "want to shut down free trade," but Associated Press A protester makes a victory sign near some burning debris on the fence that surrounded the site of the Summit of the Americas in Quebec Sunday. Western Hemisphere leaders signed an agreement Sunday to open their markets by December 2005, and said only countries with dem­ ocratic governments can be a part of the world’s most ambitious free-trade zone. he was unswayed by them. "I'm going to pursue a free trade agenda," Bush said. The president expressed solidarity with Colombia's struggle against cocaine produc­ ers, noting that the United States is spending $1.3 billion for the battle. He said Colombian President Andres Pastrana was "a firm leader. It's going to be up to President Pastrana to make the peace. Once he .does, we'll stand by his side." Pastrana renewed a push for the United States to drop tariffs on textiles from Andean nations, saying, "more than money, we're asking commerce." Bush expressed confidence Congress would give him trade-negotiating authority by the end of the year. Peruvian air force mistakenly shoots down missionary plane By The Associated Press IQUITOS, Peru — Drug interdiction flights over Peru have been suspended, U.S. officials said, after the Peruvian air force shot down an American missionaries' plane that was mistakenly identified as the carrier of illegal drugs. A woman and her infant daughter were Wiled in the shooting over the Amazon River. A U.S. surveillance plane was tracking the missionaries' plane before it was shot down and had been in communi­ cation with the Peruvian air force, a Bush administration official in Washington said Saturday night. A second U.S. government official said the missionaries' plane was considered suspect because it was operating without a flight plan in airspace frequented by drug run­ ners. Peru, which had the responsibility to identify the plane's intentions under a long-standing agreement, mis­ takenly decided that it was carrying drugs, the official said. Both officials asked not to be identified. In Lima, the U.S. Embassy said further drug interdiction flights had been suspended, "pending a thorough investi­ gation and review by Peruvian and U.S. officials of how this tragic incident took place." Also Saturday, Jim Bowers, whose wife and 7-month-old daughter were killed when the plane was shot down, gave his account of the hellish flight to a Peruvian air force colonel investigating the incident. His brother, Phil Bowers, sat in on the interview. • Phil Bowers, who was not on the flight, said his brother told the colonel that the Peruvian military made no attempt to communicate over the radio before two or three jets opened fire on the small plane. Hundreds of villagers watched as at least one of the air force planes fired at the disabled Cessna and* the survivors as they floated in the Amazon river, Phil Bowers said. He added that the U.S. "surveillance plane also saw the whole thing from up high." Peru's air force issued a statement early Saturday con­ firming that the missionaries' plane was shot down after it was detected at 10:05 a.m. by "an air space surveillance and control system" ruh jointly by Peru and the United States. In Quebec, where he was attending the Summit of the Americas, President Bush said Saturday He will "wait to see all the facts" before assigning blame for the deaths. A U.S. official said decision to suspend the drug inter­ diction program came after hours of meetings between White House and State Department aides, including some traveling with Bush. Peruvian Prime Minister Javier Perez de Cuellar, also in Quebec, approached Bush during an evening summit ses­ sion and "expressed his deep regret and offered to help the families in any way he could," said White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe. Missionary Veronica "Roni" Bowers, 35, and her daugh­ ter, Charity, were both killed. Pilot Kevin Donaldson, of Morgantown, Pa., was seriously injured, shot in his legs. The Bowers' 6-year-old son, Cory, also survived. Felons, fugitives getting illegal government financial, medical benefits By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Felons and fugitives are receiving tens of millions of dollars annually in illegal federal benefits, largely because pro­ gram administrators are not checking law enforcement records, government investiga­ tions show. Medicare, for example, paid more than $25,000 for services to an inmate convicted of killing his mother and more than $97,000 to a facility that treated nine inmates whose crimes included arson, attempted assault breaking and entering and burglary. Federal laws prohibit most prisoners from receiving Medicare and Medicaid payments. Fugitive felons, along with probation and parole violators, are barred from getting Supplemental Security Income for needy indi viduals who are aged, blind or disabled. — - * • i While some state or local laws include pro­ visions that could qualify prisoners for Medicare and Medicaid, officials of those pro­ grams have not tried to determine which juris­ dictions might allow the benefits. "The government is aiding and abetting the flight of fugitive felons," said Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, tike Finance Committee chairman. "Government programs are paying to help convicted criminals stay on the lam." The issue has come to the attention of inves­ tigators from the Health and Human Services Department the Social Security Administration, Congress and the state of Louisiana. Among the problems identified, . according to congressional and federal agency > i A D w » r. * 1 1 » documents provided to The Associated Press: •$32 million in Medicare fee-for-service payments were made on behalf of 7,438 incar­ cerated beneficiaries from 1997 through 1999, with a strong likelihood that most payments violated the law. •$75 million in federal Medicaid funds was paid to Louisiana State University medical facilities from 1997 through this year. A top Louisiana state auditor, Daniel Kyle, ques­ tioned why federal officials approved the dis­ bursements when federal regulations do not permit them. • At least 27,700 fugitives were paid $76 mil­ lion in Supplemental Security Income benefits since August 19% contrary to law, and the total may increase by $30 million annually if the payments continue, the AP reported in • I December. "We are concerned ... because, in general, no Medicare payments should be made for services rendered to prisoners unless certain strict conditions are met by the government component which operates the prison," said Michael Mangano, acting inspector general at HHS, in testimony prepared for a Senate hear­ ing Wednesday. ' * "The Social Security and Medicare pro­ grams don't have a penny to spare for unde­ serving populations. They're already being squeezed to the limit" Grassley agreed. In most cases, investigators learned that information that could stop many of the illegal payments was available, but Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security officials made inadequate efforts to get the data. _ W & N B r iefs Radical Islamic leaders gather In Iran for intefadeh conference TEHRAN, Iran — Angered by what they call aggression against Palestinians, some of Israel's most radical foes began gathering in Tehran Sunday for a conference of resistance groups organized by Iran. Iranian state-run television and radio herald­ ed the Tuesday-Wednesday meeting by broad­ casting patriotic Palestinian songs and footage of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli troops. Billboards publicized the event with pic­ tures of a stone-throwing Palestinian wearing a headscarf. The attendees included some of Israel's worst enemies — Khaled Mashaal, a leader of the rad­ ical Islamic Hamas movement; Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah; and Ramezan Abdullah, head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. They will discuss how to support the Palestinian intefadeh, or uprising, that began in September. "We would like and will try to undermine the security scheme of [Israeli Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon and show that he cannot do anything," Mohammad Sadeq Hosseini, an adviser to Iran's minister of culture, told The Associated Press. Organizers in Iran and Hamas officials speak­ ing from areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority said there were no immediate plans for a separate meeting between Hezbollah's Mashaal and Hamas' Nasrallah to discuss a closer coordination between the two groups. - Salah Zawawi, the Palestinian Authority's ambassador in Tehran, told the AP that he expects the conference to be "fruitful" in gather­ ing Muslim support for the Palestinian cause. South African national executed for killing estranged wife’s lover CARSON CITY, Nev. — A South African national convicted of killing his estranged - wife's lover in the desert outside Las Vegas was executed Saturday night. Sebastian Stephanus Bridges, 37, was execut­ ed at the Nevada State Prison by lethal injection. , The execution had been delayed for several minutes as Bridges' minister and lawyer tried . desperately to get him to appeal. Bridges could be heard screaming, "I will not stop it." A few minutes later, strapped on the gumey in the execution chamber, Bridges raised his head and turned to the witnesses. "This is murder," he said. Bridges was convicted in the shooting death of Hunter Blatchford. He had alleged that his estranged wife, Laurie, who testified against him, committed the crime but said he took the blame out of "fatal, unconditional love and loy­ alty to her." Bridges, who had refused to give any inter­ views, had insisted in a final statement that he wasn't suicidal even though he wouldn't take advantage of available appeals. Bridges said he was a victim of a corrupt criminal justice system and wanted no further litigation "within the non-existing and fictional appellate process..." He termed his execution "an act of illegal r state murder." Pro-Chechen rebels seize Istanbul hotel, take hostages .

Astronauts Install 58-foot robot arm on space station CAPE CANAVERAL, Ha. — Two spacewalk- ing astronauts successfully installed a massive billion-dollar robot arm on the international space station Sunday and unfolded the two- handed limb. "Look at the size of this thing," space shuttle Endeavour crewman Chris Hadfield marveled as he tugged open the 58-foot, 3,600-pound arm. The arm remained bent at the elbow and was to be extended the rest of the way by the space sta­ tion crew working inside. It was Canada's biggest day ever in space: the first Canadian spacewalker hooking up the new Canadian-built robot arm on space station Alpha. At the conclusion of die seven-hour space­ walk, Mission Control congratulated Hadfield -and his U.S. spacewalking partner, Scott «Parazynski, in English and French and played a * recording of "Oh Canada," the country's ‘ anthem.

They are not necessarily those of the University administration, die Board of Regents or die Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees UT students, Texas legislators should put their weight behind 3508, the bill that would flnaUy place a student on the UT System Board of Regents Student leaders love to go on and on about how students deserve a greater voice in the decisions that matter most on campus. This year, however, they've gone after the holy grail of student representation — placing a student on the UT System Board of Regents. Considering the sordid political history of the regents and their sometimes questionable intentions, this effort is not only laudable, but necessary. Another Stab At It This attempt to put a student on the Board of Regents is only one in a long line of many. The bill that would make it possible, H.B. 3508, authored by Ron Wilson, D-Houston, would give the student government associa­ tion at each UT System institution the power to nominate three applicants to the UT System Student Advisory Council, which is comprised of each institution's student gov­ ernment president. The council, without knowing which applicant came from which institution, would then send three candi­ dates to the governor, who would select a student regent to serve a two-year term on the board. Previous student regent legislation has typically proposed a similar means of selec­ tion, though there have been exceptions. Unlike its predecessors, this legislation would bestow the position with powers equal to those of the other nine regents — the student regent would be able to vote and participate in the highly-secretive executive sessions. This bill also puts a six-year trial period on the student regent seat and provides that the student regent cannot be appointed from the same institution for consecutive terms. Earlier this month, the House Higher Education Committee approved the bill, sending it on to the House Calendars Committee and giving students more reason to hope that a student regent could become a reality. A Legacy Of Opposition a of putting a student on the B The idea of putting a student on the Board of Regents is hardly a new one. Bills in pre­ vious legislative sessions have proposed both voting and non-voting student regents, different means of selection, and one bill even termed the non-voting spot the "advi­ sory student liaison" so as not to offend the opposition. But the one thing those bills had in common is that they all failed. Between 1977 and 1995, student regent bills in the Texas Legislature were killed 11 consecutive times. While it was never clear whether or not UT regents themselves helped plan the demise of the proposed stu­ dent regent, they were regularly vocal oppo­ nents of the legislation. Some regents claimed that if a student were given a seat on the board, teachers and even janitors would be demanding a seat as well. Newly-nominated regent Cyndi Krier, then Texas Senator, claimed the 1989 student regent bill was doomed because the gover­ nor wasn't given the power to select any stu­ dent she wanted. Others have claimed that students simply aren't capable of contribut­ ing anything insightful to the regental deci­ sion-making process. While they've all had different "reasons" to exclude students from the board, the mantra UT regents, administrators and some Texas legislators have really been repeating over the years is, "Mind your own damn business." But It Is Our Business Granted, one vote on a board of nine hard­ ly seems a significant victory for students. And to the regents and other UT administra­ tors, the idea that a single student can accu­ rately represent the interests of the 150,000 students in the UT System is ludicrous.

Davls/Daily Texan Staff Dally Texan file photo Former UT System Chancellor William Cunningham discusses building plans for the UT System with UT regents. Facilities planning is just one of the areas of the UT System that the regents handle annually. the idea that one student can represent the interests of every student in the system more effectively than a group of wealthy Texas businesspersons is not. While all of the regents once attended some institution of higher education, they rarely hail from academic glory. Try as you might, you will find few, if any regents who .have ever been professors, deans or universi­ ty presidents. When the governor selects a new regent, you can bet he or she is a major player in either the Texas economy, Texas politics or both. Current regent Raul Romero owns the largest engineering and construction compa­ ny in Houston. Tony Sanchez owns a very lucrative oil company. Tom Loeffler was once a U.S. Congressman an d is currently CEO of Tom Brown — you guessed it, an oil compa­ And, while a successful political or busi­ ness career might help secure a seat on the board, regents are still expected to give a lit­ tle in return. UT regents, as a group, were the biggest contributors to former Gov. Bush's campaign for president, giving Bush an aven» age of $43,261 each. As a result of this patronage system, the regents' deliberations and decisions have, for many years, been extremely isolated from the thousands of students who are affected by them every day. Giving students a vote on the board, however outnumbered they may be, is a tremendous step toward bridging that gap. Many of the regents' decisions are made by unanimous vote. During their open meet­ ings, regents rarely engage in debate, pre­ sumably because all disagreements, if any, are hashed out in executive comm ittee meet­ I a m ____________________ , a student at The University of Texas at Austin, and I would like to voice my support for House Bill 35 08 , allowing for a voting student member on the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System. As both your constituent and a student of The University of Texas System, I feel it is important that I articulate my support for this bill. The UT System Board of Regents is responsible for making decisions concern­ ing academic and administrative policies for more than 15 0,0 00 college students. There are no students, however, who are involved in the decisiomnaking process. Therefore, the current system is not accountable to the students of the UT System. Adding a voting stu­ dent member to the Board of Regents would legitimize the decisionmaking process. The concept of a voting student member on the Board of Regents is not a new one. More than 30 university systems across the nation have voting student members on their board of regents. Other large university systems, including The University of California System and The University of Michigan System, prove that the idea is not only possible, but successful as well. In these cases, the concept makes the actions of the board of regents more representative pf student concerns. I thank you for your consideration, and I hope that you can appreciate my views on this issue. I urge you to vote in favor pf this bill, as it will accomplish a great deal for the students of The University of Texas System. Sincerely, -* « «** ings, which are closed to the public. A stu­ dent regent would serve as the eyes, ears and voice of UT students in those committee meetings and symbolically place students at the center of the action that affects them most. Regents and legislators of the past have argued that putting a student on the board will send the ÜT System sliding down a dan­ gerous slippery slope — soon every "special interest" group under the sun (faculty, staff, TAs, etc.) will demand a say in UT System decisions. Our regents — who typically view themselves as the board of directors for the UT System "corporation" — seem to have forgotten that the students are paying cus­ tomers, the true consumers of education. And, as consumers, students deserve some control, however small, in the product they pay for and the way their dollars are spent. Excluding the process amounts to no less than taxation without representation. students from Currently, Texas is one of only a handful of states whose universities do not allow stu­ dents on their governing boards. In other states and at other university systems, attempts to add students to university gov­ erning boards have been met with opposi­ tion, but once students proved they could handle the responsibility, other regents usu­ ally treated them with some degree of respect. The UT System's oft-envied peer on the West Coast, the University of California System, which boasts seven flagship institu­ tions, has had a student on its board of regents since 1974. A number of other uni­ versity systems have since followed suit. But, once again, the state of Texas appears to be the exception rather ’than the rule. If regents want the UT System to give its students the best quality education possible, if regents want to attract the best and bright­ est students in the state, the direction of an actual student would be a helpful starting point. UT students, some of them at least, are capable of making mature decisions and meaningfully contributing to the discussion of UT System policy making. Whether or not the regents believe this, they at least owe it to students, the consumers in their "corpora­ tion," to be held accountable for their deci­ sions. The best way to that is to allow stu­ dents a position on the board. those Nothing W ithout You This bill would -not be where it is today without the vocal support of students, name­ in Student Government. SG's ly Legislative Relations Agency, along with for­ mer SG President Daron Roberts and current SG President Matt Hammond, found a spon­ sor for the bill and helped push it through the House Higher Education Committee. While students have won some small vic­ tories in this fight for a student regent, H.B. 3508 still has a long way to go, and if stu­ dents dorf't continue to put serious pressure on legislators, this bill Will ultimately fall flat on its face. Student Government and the stu­ dents at all UT System component schools must not let this opportunity pass them by. Show your support for this bill by filling out the form at the bottom of this page, fill­ ing out one of SG's letters to state legislators or go online and visit www.studentregent.com. Suffice it to say, there is not one regent on the UT System Board that truly understands what it's like to be a student on a UT campus, at least in this day and age. But there most certainly should be. As SG President Matt Hammond put it, "Students are ready to be represented by one of our own." Students deserve an advocate at the highest level of decision making. Students deserve, and must demand, a seat at the table. T he L eg isla tio n H.B. 3508, authored by Ron Wilson, D-Houston, would: • Place a student representative on the UT System Board of Regents for a two-year term beginning Sept. 1 of each odd-numbered year.. • Allow a council of UT System student government presidents to present three nominees to the Texas governor for selection. • Give the student representative privileges equal to those of other regents, which includes voting power • prohibit a student regent from the same University for consecutive terms • Allow the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to remove a student regent by a two-thirds vote.

The governor can appoint whomever the governor thinks is best qualified. If we [appoint a student regent] we are going to have a faculty one and then we’re going to have a black one and a brown,... so many females and so many males,” - Sen.

Can the student possibly understand the many duties and constituents of a university and properly represent all of them? Are the schedule and duties too much for a full-time student? Can the student be trusted to understand the sensitivities and politicalness of the issues that the board deals with? ... Obviously, I think that you could ask all of these ques­ tions of any new board member.” - Mary Echeverría, current student regent on the University of Arizona board I transitioned from [being] noncontroversial to speaking my mind whenever I thought it was called for.

Thank You. “Student B,” Timothy Vance Advertising sophomore Dig a little deeper The Texan should make sure its reporters do a little research before printing seven-month-old propaganda from companies known for invest­ ments with terrible human rights records. The front page story on Sodexho Alliance is terribly misleading. The story indicates that Sodexho Alliance, the owner of Sodexho Marriott Services with whom UT has a multi­ million dollar concessions contract, has announced that it will sell its shares in CCA — a for-profit prison company denounced by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch for numerous human rights violations. Unfortunately, the story doesn't say that Sodexho made that statement over seven months ago in order to appease student activists like those at UT. Sodexho has, since that time, not only NOT divested any shares in CCA, they have bought 100 percent of two * other international private prison com­ panies linked to CCA. So, instead of ending their connection to the for-prof­ it prison industry, Sodexho has raised their stake in incarcerating people for money. The Texan should dig a little deeper next time to avoid leaving out such important facts.

Where was the pic­ ture of the impoverished mother who can not afford to feed her children? The millions of children in this world that no one seems to have time to love? The young women whose education and ambitions are now essentially over? The woman crippled by anguish after rape? The woman whose body physically can not sustain a pregnan­ cy? The world burgeoning with an explosive population? The woman who simply believes that her body is her business? Just because Action,for Abortion Rights does not exploit images of other people's pain in an attempt to advance their value system does not mean that the pictures aren't out there. Look around you. Austin Bonner Plan ll/government sophomore Bad logic area Mr. Withem suggests that "all avail­ images would able pictures and defeat" a pro-choice stance. On the contrary', we too could have posted horrific pictures to try to shock people into supporting our position. Instead, we chose to avoid the assaultive nature of JFA's exhibit and the confrontation it provoked. I personally feel that graph­ ic and violent imagery is not the best way to present any case, and one that must rest exclusively on the emotional response such pictures provoke is like­ ly to have weaknesses in the logic area. Valerie French History senior Shock this I do not attend the University and therefore do not feel comfortable chal­ lenging Jack W. Whithem's claim that students at UT receive a degree in protesting. However, I must take issue with his statements on pro-choice images. He asks what images repro­ ductive rights advocates could possi­ bly display in order to prove their point. Well Jack, for starters, how about impoverished women strug­ gling to support children they did not plan. Or, the bodies of women dead from illegal abortions. Or, on a positive note, a happy, well-adjusted woman, lacking any made-up "post-abortion syndrome," smiling next to the chil­ dren that she bore when she was ready and stable enough to do so. (Yes, those women really do exist.) However, the Action for Abortion Rights doesn't need to show these photos. Shock value (as the Justice For All display proved) isn't too effective in persuad­ ing people who exist in an intellectual environment. Elizabeth Gartow Austin resident Debate lessons What happened to Firing Line stan­ dards? It used to be that letters like Mike Kamowski's sophomoric name- calling of anyone who holds a different viewpoint than his would be on the fast track to the garbage can. If that dia­ tribe is the limit of his debating skills, he need not worry about "turning into racist redneck" when he graduates, but whether he'll graduate at all. Perhaps in the intervening years (and years, and years ... ) he will learn grammar, the plural of "alumnus" and how to make and defend a point. GregHervey UT alum An Editor’s view Please add my name to the list of past editors of The Daily Texan who oppose appointment of the editor and who favor the present election of the editor. John M. Economkty Texan Editor, 1966-67 W ith honors I have been reading The Daily Texan for well over 15 years now. I always enjoy the vigorous debate that the University of Texas fosters and encour­ ages. However, this is the first time I recall that a student saw fit to slight all the alumni in a Firing Line piece. I would encourage Michael to keep up that fiesty spirit. But I think most of us "old-timers" can relate how we had, then outgrew, those know-it-all- wanna-be-hippy-spout-off-at-the- mouth-and-chaUenge-everything-that- moves days with fondness. It was all part of the learning experience that still convinces me that I came out of UT better equipped for corporate and adult life than my counterparts from other institutions. So, Michael, thanks for your sophomore insight and keep that fire lit under all those important issues. If you are lucky, one day, you too will be a Magna Cum Laude alum. Stephen Meginniss UT alum Sharon under fire Yesterday, Adam Abrams wrote in a Firing Line that Israel has been "extremely the generous" Palestinians and that "Arafat is to blame" for the breakdown of the so- called peace process. (Arafat still to blame, April 20) to Rhetoric aside, how has Israel been generous to the Palestinians? As of last count, 429 Palestinians have been killed and 13,109 injured since Ariel Sharon announced "Jewish sovereign­ ty" over the Al-Aqsa compound, sacred to Muslims, in his provocative tour of the site on Sept. 28, 2000. All these casualties have occurred in the occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza, which Israel should with­ draw unconditionally from according to international law. Israelis voted against peace when they voted for Ariel Sharon, a war criminal in the eyes of the Palestinian people. Israelis elected him because they felt he was capable of crushing Palestinian hope for an independent state. "There is only'one language Arabs understand, and that is force," right?

In fact, there was no "new twist" on Thursday as the article erroneously states. The Daily Texan reported that Sodexho Alliance intends to sell its stock in the private prison industry but failed to report that this so called breaking news is at least seven months old. In another piece of bad journalism, The Daily Texan also failed to investi­ gate this claim. Further investigation would have revealed SEC reports showing that Sodexho Alliance has purchased two more private prison corporations since its divestment announcement last year. Campus activists don't "express skepticism that follow [the] company will not through," because we already know that Sodexho Alliance has failed to live up to its promise. Such incorrect jour­ nalism is not acceptable, and I would expect The Daily Texan to run a front page retraction. John Nation Plan II sophomore Erroneous story Friday's front page article on Sodexho's statement that they would divest from CCA has several errors. I'm certain that others have already pointed out that the announcement was made over seven months ago, and then they've actually that since increased their shares in the private prison industry. Therefore, I would like to present some other arguments regarding those statements. First, there is no set timetable for investment. The statement merely says that someday they plan to sell their shares. This is the equivalent of oil companies saying, "Someday we'll stop polluting the air." It won't hap­ pen unless we make it happen. Second, the article didn't give the reasoning behind Sodexho's claim to divest. The decision to divest has come because CCA stocks are low. Sodexho Alliance claims they will do everything to get CCA back on their feet before divesting so that they can make a profit. This is saying that they will get a company infamous for its torture mechanisms and human rights abuses back on its feet so they can make money off of it. They want to ensure the future viability of the indus­ try before divesting. (Of course, they aren't divesting as can be verified by the Exchange Commission.) Securities and These are just a few errors that must be cleared up. These errors were not necessarily the fault of the author. Sodexho has continually misled peo­ ple in their attempts to keep making profits off of UT students. We as stu­ dents must demand that our money not fund torture and slavery. Dump Sodexho!

The survey requests feedback on the qual­ ity of shuttle service through questions about operation, levels of service and con­ venience. "I really need students to tell me what is right or w rong," said Bob H arkins, director of parking and transportation. "We're ask­ ing students to tell us how good or bad the service is." The operation section ask s students to rate the drivers' quality of service, includ­ ing courtesy and behavior, cleanliness and condition of the buses, tim eliness and avail­ ability of inform ation on the overall service. The levels of service section ask s for stu­ dents to evaluate if the num ber o f buses on each route and hours of service are ade­ quate and whether they w ould be willing to pay more for added late night and weekend services. The convenience section only includes three questions regarding the student's use of the C apital Metro mainline, the availabil­ ity of seats and wait time at b u s stops. "I'm looking for operational things so we can im prove the shuttle system , Harkins said. In addition to survey distribution from April 23 through April 27, students may visit w w w .capm etro.org/survey.htm l before May 1 to fill out an online survey. L ast year, about 2,500 respon ses were returned, a number which H arkins hopes to exceed. "I'll be disappointed if we don't get at least double that number," H arkins said. Lubna Patrawala, a biology senior, paints the hand of Bonnie Gosier, a computer science junior, using a technique called “henna” at Rangoli: The Colors of India, a celebration on South Mall Saturday evening.

Rangoli celebrates Indian traditions Carnival atmosphere gives students a taste of Indian customs Kristi Swasko, a communication sciences and disorders freshman, said her curiosity about the Indian culture prompted her to attend Rangoli. By Neaha Raol Daily Texan Staff About 2,000 students attended the Indian Cultural Association's "Rangoli: Colors of India" Friday night, an event that illustrated the different aspects of Indian culture. ICA members, volunteers and invited guests set up booths in the form of an Indian carnival on South Mall. The nearly 25 booths were divided into five categories — arts, community service, culture and education, entertainment and food. Rangoli Committee Co-chairman Vineet Pabreja said the goal of Rangoli, which means "different colors," was to showcase the diversity of Indian culture, but through a different format from past events. "We wanted-to go away from the stream­ line of shows and create a carnival atmos­ phere with a lot of interaction where peo­ ple could be involved at each stall they vis­ ited," Pabreja said. People experienced Indian culture first­ hand by learning how to play cricket, eat­ ing a typical Indian meal or getting mehn- di painted on their bodies. Sheila Singh, an Asian studies freshman, represented her religion, Sikhism, at the Religions of India booth. Singh said she interacted with the public through expla­ nations, quizzes and handouts. "After spending time at the booth, peo-' pie did understand what Sikhism is," Singh said. "People really got a lot out of it." "I really just wanted to see for myself what the overall culture is like and get a feel for it, and I was able to do that through the cultural dances, food and attire," Swasko said. Pabreja said the success of the event depended on the public's attendance. "We made people a part of this event," Pabreja said. "They were as involved as we were." Singh said the public's response was overwhelmingly impressive. "This event surpassed my expectations — there were so many people who actual­ ly listened, were really interested in learn­ ing and made the effort to understand our culture," Singh said. In addition, ICA members staged eight performances that ranged from a skit about Indian youth to traditional dances to classical instrumental pieces. Aftef the carnival, attendees participated in dandiya raas, a traditional stick dance. Rangoli was sponsored by the Asian- American studies department, the Texas Union CoSponsorship Review Board, Bames&Noble and Skypass Travel. Mia Carter, AAS interim director, said it is the department's responsibility to help support Asian-American groups who give the public the opportunity to participate in cultural events. "Events like Rangoli just help people see how large, lively and vibrant the Asian- American community is here at the University," Carter said. Arts honors staff By Robert Mayer Daily Texan Staff The College of Liberal Arts honored four individuals with its highest honoi; the Pro Bene Mentis Award, Friday at the Hyatt Hotel, recognizing those 'who have made outstanding contri­ butions in professional or philanthrop­ ic pursuits." This year's recipients of the award, in 1984, were Ann B. created Brinkerhoff, who has served as chair­ the Liberal Arts woman for Foundation Advisory Council; Barbara Myers, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts; Sandra Snyder, who served on the College of Liberal Arts Advisory Council; and William Roger Louis, Mildred Caldwell and Baine Perkins Kerr Centennial Chair in English History and Culture. "These individuals serve as catalysts researching and opening doors for increasing the knowledge of our stu­ dents and indeed, the knowledge of the entire world," said Richard Lariviere, dean of the College of Liberal Arts. Thp selection process involved members of an executive committee that discussed nominees and praised their qualities, said Creekmore Fath, Pro Bene Meritis chairman, adding that it can require two or three trips around the table before a consensus is reached. Louis downplayed his accomplish­ ments. "In the last couple of years I've been getting a lot of recognition, and I can assure you it is entirely undeserved," he said. "I have noticed that at a certain point in life that people do begin to regard you as a sort of public monu­ ment with all that comes with it." Meyers said she was delighted for being honored for simply doing what she loves. "It seems like only yesterday that the award was established, and I never dreamed at the time that one day I would be chosen," she said. UT President Larry Faulkner praised the award winners and said he considered the College of Liberal Arts to be the "heart of the University." "It is the college that has its roots back to tire mission of what a universi- tv is." he said. "It is die custodian of the major ideas of the liberal education." He said die more than 250 people in attendance were a testimony to the commitment of excellence the College of Liberal Arts represents. "The College of Liberal Arts is blessed with many friends," he said. "Your generosity makes a tremendous difference." Although the award is 18 years old, this was the first time the event includ­ ed a dinner. Clare Hudspeth, associate director for development, said the change in venue and the addition of a dinner were designed to bring togeth­ er everyone involved with the college —donors of endowed chairs, endowed professors and- student— scholarship winners. Also honored were the student win­ ners of higher education's most presti­ gious prizes. For the second time in two years, the University has pro­ duced both a Rhodes Scholarship win­ ner, Plan II senior Sara Galvan, and a British Marshall Scholarship winner, Plan II senior Paul Domjan. For the fourth consecutive year, a UT student, Plan II junior Richa Gulati, has earned thp Harrv S. Trum n Scholarship.

Settlement to cost UIW $2.44 million | San Antonio university must compensate fo rm er employees Activists rally for gun rights By Sarah Snyder Daily Texan Staff The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission an­ nounced a settlement Thursday that will cost a private San Antonio university $2.44 million for mak­ ing its housekeepers speak only English. case, landmark As part of the settlement in the the University of the Incarnate Word will distribute $1 million among the 18 former employees and will provide the former housekeepers with $1.44 mil­ lion in tuition waivers. The equal employment commission calls it the largest-known mone­ tary resolution for a lawsuit concerning am English-only rule in the workplace. The settlement also requires UIW to establish a comprehen­ sive anti-harassment workplace policy and complaint procedure written in English and Spanish. The commission filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas Sept. 30,1999 on behalf of UIW employees. employees Sister Mary Ann Finn, direc­ tor of housekeeping at UIW, was responsible for enforcing the English-only rule, which prohibits from speaking languages other than English in the workplace, said Robert Harwin, a regional attor­ ney of EEOC's San Antonio District Office. The rule is a vio­ lation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Harwin said. "She would tell them not to speak Spanish even though some of them could only speak Spanish," Harwin said. "She hit them and called them 'stupid Mexicans' and stuff like that." In addition, the commission reported that the English-only rule was also enforced on lunch breaks and personal breaks. Finn, who is still employed at UIW, is currently overseas on sabbatical, said UIW spokes­ woman Lisa Ramirez. A statement issued by UIW said the university "has always vehemently denied any dis­ criminatory action against its former employees." The statement added that UIW decided to settle with the EEOC to avoid the time and coste associated with litigation. Harwin said with the number of Hispanic employees on the rise in the United States, the case is important to ensure their rights are protected. "I think it sends a message to employers that the EEOC isn't going to tolerate discrimination in any form," Harwin said. Louis Agnese Jr., UIW presi­ dent, said the university is rec­ ognized nationally and interna­ tionally as a minority-serving institution. "The university is, has been, and continues to be committed to minority and international education," Agnese said in the statement, adding that the com­ mitment carries over to UIW hiring and employment prac­ tices. "Our mission challenges us to employ a workforce that reflects the rich diversity of our community and our world." The EEOC has reported that the number of English-only charges filed with the commis­ sion and state and local Fair Employment Practices Agencies have increased from 91 in the 1996 fiscal year to 443 ill the 2000 fiscal year. By Amber McAnally Daily Texan Staff family. About 400 people gathered on the steps of the state Capitol Sunday to rally for the right of citizens to bear arms. Shouting "You cari take my gun from my cold dead hand," activists encouraged people to support the Second Amendment. The rally was organized by Alex Jones, for founder Freedom, a group committed to protecting individual citi­ zen's rights to freedom. of Texans Dan Loucks, Bastrop county commissioner for Precinct 3, said in a speech that the strug- e for the right to bear arms has brought on a power strug­ gle. "This is about who is the servant and who is the mas­ ter," Loucks said. "We are the ones who are responsible for defending our country. A country mat is armed has a much better chance of being free." Former Texas Sen. Jerry Patterson, who wrote legisla­ tion passed in 1995 that legal­ ized carrying concealed hand­ guns, said at the rally that firearms shouldn't be restrict­ ed to military use. "All free men are bom with the right to defend them­ selves," he said. "Defending tyranny ourselves against may not be necessary today, but it may be necessary 100 years from now." Melanie Cook,. Texas state coordinator for the Second Amendment Sisters, a women's organization to uphold the right to bear arms, said she grew up using guns for hunting and target shoot­ ing. She added that she now feels equipped to defend her designed "Being a mom is the most difficult and precious job God has given me," Cook said. "I am a gun owner because of my children." Austinite Chad Lavender attended the rally and said his Second Amendment right was revoked after he h-oke into a locked car when ne was 17 years old. He said he wanted to prevent the government from taking away other peo­ ple's abilities to protect them­ selves but added that the right should be to bear arms revoked from people who commit violent crimes with guns. "I had my right stripped from me for something that didn't have anything to do with guns," Lavender said. "It wasn't a violent crime, but I can never own a gun. It's pret­ ty unfair." Austinite Leah Lewis attend­ ed the rally carrying a sign that read "Hitler was for gun con­ trol." She said the media exag­ gerate crime statistics to create support for gun control. in "Misinformation the media is appalling," Lewis said. "They are brain washing the American public and stir­ ring people up about violence. Tyranny abounds. America is headed there now." But Round Rock resident Chris Perkins said he dis­ agreed with the other people at the rally. "I think there should be gun control," Perkins said. "I don't think you need assault rifles. People do get hurt using guns. The government is trying to keep us safe, not trying to con­ trol us." 340 Trilogy employees released amid lower demand for company’s software By The Associated Press this year to about 7,800. In the first major staff cuts in its 12-year history, Trilogy has fired one-third of its work force. The privately held company, an early anchor in A ustin's high- tech economy, develops software to manage sales and purchasing. Trilogy officials cited the slowing econom y and a new corporate strategy as the reasons for cutting 340 employees. About 650 remain in its Austin offices.

The center provides a community base for hundreds of local residents over 50 years old. In a society that arguably fails to value elders as it does youth culture, the Senior Activity Center is of great impor­ tance. It is one of few places where older people can laugh, dance, and create — whether it be the creation of music, song or art. To those who have been wid­ owed or lost close friends, the center is a place to initiate and maintain new relationships. The center offers a variety of classes and functions. Activities range from line dancing lessons to income tax filing assistance. Last week the center began its first computer course. It also serves as a meeting place for var­ ious senior organizations, such as Senior Alcoholics Anonymous and the Barbed Wire Club, that literally collects antique and unusual barbed wire. The center is composed of nine rooms, the largest of which is used for dances and exercise classes. The others are equipped for arts, computer instruction or games. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and then again from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Seniors across Austin come to ttfé Senior Activity Center to build friend­ ships in a peaceful environment. The most money 83-year-old Joe Kennedy has ever won or lost from playing in the Senior Men’s Bridge Club is about $2.

They knew what they wanted." i g° Adding Davis-to the Cardinals' already promis­ ing offensive line — which includes tackles L.J. Shelton and Anthony Clement, as well as guard Pete Kendall — should help provide better protec­ tion for quarterback Jake Plummer, who was sacked 22. times last season for a loss of 151 yards. Davis has already spoken to Plummer — both are represented by agent Leigh Steinberg — and Plummer told Davis that "he's excited" to have the big man blocking for him next fall. Already having two solid offensive tackles in Shelton and Clement, the Cardinals might play Davis at offensive guard. "I'm willing to play wherever they want," said Davis, who played tackle during his entire tenure at Texas. "I'm a versatile player. It's kind of an open thing. I've always played tackle. I feel I can play guard if I have to." Defensive tackle Casey Hampton, another for­ mer Longhorn, was also selected in the first round of the draft as the 19th pick overall. He will play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. "I am just really happy I had the opportunity to be drafted," Hampton said. "I'm ready to go to the next level. I know the Steelers have a defensive- minded coach, and I think it will be a great situation for me." The Steelers primarily play a 3-4 defense, which will take some getting used to for Hampton, who played mostly a 4-3 defense at Texas. Under Pittsburgh's system, Hampton will likely play nose tackle. At 6-feet 1-inch, Hampton might be considered short for a nose tackle, but he is convinced that nei­ ther his size nor a position change will negatively impact his game. "D-line is D-Line," said Hampton, who also was an All-American at Texas. "And my height hasn't affected my play all through life." As a kid, Hampton's favorite team was the -DT 2nd Round, No. 61 overall pounds Houston Oilers, a big rival of the Steelers. Both the Tennessee Titans (formerly Houston Oilers) and the Steelers play in the AFC Central division. Hampton said he will shim his boyhood affection for the Oilers when the two teams meet next season. "I'm playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers now, and that's who I want to win," Hampton said. ' Shaun Rogers, Texas' other highly touted defen­ sive tackle, slipped to the second round of Saturday's draft, going to the Detroit Lions at the 61st overall pick. An ankle injury likely prevented Rogers from going earlier in the draft. "He was bummed [he didn't go in the first round]," said Rogers' good friend and former Texas teammate Hampton. "But he's hurt. He's not wor­ ried about it, though. He's just ready to prove that Arizona made Texas offensive tackle Its top overall choice In the 2001 NFL Draft when the Cardinals selected him at No. 2. Associated Press Sm DRAFT, Pugs 11 Bears now own IJT series By Brian Welch Daily Texan Staff WACO — After Friday night7 s 5-1 victory in Austin, it appeared Texas' troubles with Baylor had ended. But when the two teams got to Waco, the Bears bounced back to crush the Horns in an impressive fashion. "We came here and let them know what's up," Baylor outfielder Chris Durbin said of Baylor's 12-2 and 16-6 wins over the weekend. "We did w hat we should have done [in Austin] and now we're sending them home crying." The Bears have left Texas in tears quite often in recent years, winning 13 of the teams' last 17 contests. The wins could not have come at a better time for coach Steve Smith's squad, which sat 2 1/2 games behind the Horns before Saturday evening's See BAYLOR, Page 11 Merciless Bears torch Homs, 16-6 By David Sessions Daily Texan Staff WACO — Texas was down to its final strike, with two outs, a 2-2 count, a run­ ner at third and Ben King at the plate. In the Baylor dugout, coach Steve Smith was debating whether to pitch around King and wondering whether he should bring in closer Zane Carlson. King hit reliever Paul Thorp's next pitch over the right-field wall. And with that dramatic seventh- inning blast, the Longhorns managed to avoid being mercy-rule victims for the second consecutive day. But the Horns' newfound lease on life ran out just an inning later, as No, 21 Baylor (30-15, 14-7 Big 12) drove home two runs — and the final nail into No. 20 Texas' (30-18, 16-8) coffin — for a 16-6 win Sunday at Baylor Ballpark. It wasn't a question of whether the Bears would take Game 3. It was simply when. "I hate the 10-run rule," Baylor coach Steve Smith said. "I actually asked my guys, 'Do I pitch around King? Do I walk King and face Ontiveros?' We had a chance to win the game right there." Sunday's rout clinched the three- game series for the Bears, who took Saturday's game in Waco, 12-2, after falling to Texas, 5-1, at Disch-Falk Field Friday. Throughout Sunday's contest, a strong wind stiffened the American flag flying atop the center-field wall at Baylor Ballpark. That same wind must have caused problems for the energetic Baylor fan who, large green-and-gold flag in hand, sprinted around the stadi­ um every time the home team scored. He hardly had a chance to sit down, as the Bears put up 16 runs on 17 hits. "They did a great job," Texas coach Augie Garrido said. "They really played well. They might as well be the No. 1 team in America as far as I'm concerned. The last two days, they were really good. Really good." Baylor took the lead in the bottom of the first on catcher Kelly Shoppach's solo homer. In the third, Texas scored two runs before second baseman Omar Quintanilla hit a two-run shot that gave the Homs a 4-1 advantage. Baylor responded with two runs in the bottom of the third. After center fielder Chris Durbin hit a solo homer to left, Kelly Shoppach tripled and came home on a Mike Huggins single. "The wind really helped out a lot," said Durbin, who was 4-for-6 with six RBIs Sunday. "We used the wind to our advantage today to help us get the win. Whenever the wind's going and when­ ever we're hitting the ball, it's going to be a good day." An inning later, the Bears put up five more runs on two Texas errors and four singles. Durbin added another homer in the fifth, a two-run blast to right, giving Baylor a 10-4 lead. Texas starter Justin Simmons (6-2) left after 3 1/3 innings, surrendering seven earned runs, walk­ ing one and striking out one.

Baylor wrecks Texas tennis party By Jeff Sturdevant Daily Texan Staff What was to be a celebration for the Longhorn men's tennis team on senior day, turned into a nause­ ating nightmare Saturday at the Penick-Allison Tennis Carter. Baylor (10-10, 6-2 Big 12) crashed the party th at trashed the place in the form of a 5-2 victory. It seemed as if Texas was hun- gover from the previous week­ end's debacle in College Station. Not much went right for the Homs, who move to 15-4 overall (6-2 Big 12) after their second con­ secutive loss. "I didn't think we reacted to the ball very well today," Texas head coach Michael Center said. "We just didn't go get our first volleys and they put a lot more balls in 1B G S ----- pretty dis­ appointing to get beat that badly at two doubles." Texas started tíre day by losing the doubles point, which fore­ shadowed things to come as Texas holds a mere 2-4 record after los­ ing the doubles point. The first doubles match completed was at No. 2, where Texas' Craig Edmondson and Will Clinton lost to Baylor's Cory Ross and Nathan McGregor 8-2. "We weren't in a position to compete at No. 2 doubles, it was a one-way street," Ron Kloppert said. "If someone's going to beat you, you want them to come up with a big shot, not outcompete you."

He met coach Dan Reeves, chatted with the assistants, looked at some film and talked drop. Little did Vick know he would be play­ ing for this team. “ I really didn't think there was a chance," he said. "The whole time, San Diego was showing a great deal of interest in me. I thought that was who I would play for." But the Chargers traded die No. 1 pick to the Falcons, who quickly grabbed the player they hope will transform a woebegone fran­ chise. Vick returned to Flowery Branch on Sunday — this time to put down roots. "I'm glad the trade was made. I'm glad to be closer to home," said Vick, a native of Newport News, Va. "It's a blessing in dis­ guise." No matter what happened on draft day, Vick was assured of being a very rich man. The Falcons are willing to meet his asking price: a $15 million signing bonus in a deal that could be worth more than $50 million. The Falcons have made the playoffs only six times and never had to back-to-back win­ ning seasons. Even the most glorious moment in franchise history — the 1998 NFC championship — was followed by two years of utter incompetence. Atlanta is 9-23 since its one and only Super Bowl appearance. "N o question this is an exciting time for the Atlanta Falcons," Reeves said. "I think the pick of Michael Vick definitely gives this fran­ chise a chance for die future to be one of the best franchises in the National Football League." Texas rowing continues best season with eight more wins Over the weekend the Texas rowing team picked u p eight w ins at the Redwood Invitational, giving them a total of 26 first- place finishes, the most the team ever received in a single season. "We had a very successful weekend and I am very happy with our racing today," Texas head coach Carie Graves said. The Longhorns went undefeated against Sacramento State and Califbmia-Davis on Saturday. Texas first faced Sacramento State and swept the team with ease. The varsity eight boat came finished the race in 6:48.10, while the second varsity eight boat came across at 7:08. The novice boat finished in 7:10, 14 seconds before Sacremento State. The Horns faced UC-Davis Saturday, and had similar results, claiming all three races. The varsity eight boat won their race in 7:45.8, while UC-Davis finished 8:11.3. The second varsity beat the Beavers by 27 sec­ onds, coming in in 8:14.1, with the Beavers trailing in at 8:23.5. The first novice boat won its race, finishing in 8:23.5 On Sunday, Texas picked up two wins against Stanford, with the first varsity eight boat narrowly falling in its raqe. Stanford won with a time of 6:52.60, .40 seconds quicker than the Longhorns. "The varsity eight crew wanted to go undefeated this weekend and w as disap­ pointed in their loss [Sunday], but we will be ready to compete against Kansas and K ansas State at next w eekend's Big 12 Championships," Graves said.

"There is lots of excitement," exas head coach John Fields said. This is an opportunity to play a >p course in a tournament we oint to on an annual basis." The Big 12 coaches poll favored io. 5 Texas, although Oklahoma tate offers a historically strong rogram and OU brings youthful xdtement to die golf course. The Oklahoma schools finished econd and third in the poll behind exas, which pairs than up with tie Longhorns for M on da/s first Dund of play. These three top con­ siders tee off at Prairie Dunes Country Qub at 8 a.m. "It is a top 25 golf course in the vorld," Fields said. Prairie Dunes has the same lesigners who did Southern Hills áte of die 2001 US. Open) and die Colonial course in Fort Worth. This par 72,6,593-yard course is an old style lynx course, wide open with any trees, but treacher­ ous rough as high as three feet, which helped coin the phrase " a touch of the old course in the land of Oz." "It is pretty tough weather con­ ditions, but we have seen rain, we have seen wind, and we have seen cold," Fields said. The team not only saw wind, but also roped it in Hawaii where the Homs captured their only tournament tide of the season in the face of 50 mph wind gusts. The Longhorns have had to bat- de themselves in addition to the weather this year. John Klauk led the Homs during the fall season then slipped off in the spring, falling from the No. 14 player in the country to No. 40. But in die tournaments, Klauk last two found himself back atop the Horns' squad with back-to-back 15thplace performances. "The last two weeks have given me more confidence," Klauk said. "I am closer to getting my swing back but it is not completely back." Matt Brost, Matt Dobyns, J.J. Wall and Jason Hartwick join Klauk in the run toward the NCAA Tournament. The freshman star, Hartwick, leads die Longhorns in scoring with a 71.8 scoring average, and he ranks No. 20 in the MasterCard Individual Rankings. Hartwick fired his career low of 66 in three tournaments, and has posted four top-ten finishes in his nine tournament appearances. Despite his success, Hartwick has earned a tide yet — his best finish coming earlier this month at the Border Olympics where he placed second. Wall has also given die Homs a hand, placing in the top 20 in each iff his last three tournaments, including his season low round of four-under 68. Dobyns has also scorched the courses lately, firing a six-under 66 at the ASU Thunderbird / Savane Invitational a week ago. . "Everyone on this team has won golf tournaments," Fields said. "We worked hard this week and are ready to face the challenge of Praire Dunes. Hopefully our depth will give us a chance to win." John Klauk has rebounded from a poor spring to lead the Homs into the Big 12 tourney, Women’s tennis gets consecutive wins over Mizzou, KSU By Bob Jones Daily Texan Staff time With a share of the Big 12 regu­ lar season championship on the line, Texas finally got it done and won back-to-back matches for the first s i n c e Mpsmj' M jpa * fciXM iSl March. Saturday, Tennis the H om s took down Missouri handily, 6-1, with its only loss coming in singles play. After the win, Texas head coach Jeff Moore was optimistic about the team's future. "Today the team was much more assertive and focused as a group," Moore said. "I hope that we can build on this win and hopefully it will establish a win­ ning trend for the rest of the sea­ son." However, that rest of the regular season consisted of only one remaining match, which took place Sunday at Kansas State. The Hom s again emerged tri­ umphant in that contest, topping the Wildcats, 4-3. The win was a crucial one, as it guaranteed Texas to receive at least a share of the conference reg­ ular season title. As it stands now, if Oklahoma State beats Missouri on Wednesday, the Cowgirls will end the year tied with Texas in Big 12 play. Against Kansas State, die lower- seeded singles players turned out to be the most integral, as Texas' top two seeds, junior Vladka Uhlirova and senior Janet Walker faltered in straight sets in singles after beating Alena action, Jecminkova and Eva Novotna in doubles. Junior Joanne Masongsong, playing as the third seed, crum­ pled Eva Novotna 6-1, 6-1, while the Horns' five and six seeds, Kaysie Smashey and Michelle Krinke, were also victorious. 'The team is still struggling in spots, but they showed a lot of fight today," Moore said. "We knew that this win would clinch at least a share of the conference championship and we are happy to be in this situation." Texas' final record stands at 16- 8, while they went 10-1 in the con­ ference. The next challenge for the 14th-ranked Homs will be the Big 12 Championships, which begin Thursday in Waco. While Texas did appear to turn a 1-6 slide around over the week­ end, many concerns still remain for Moore and his team as they head into the postseason. Since injuring her shoulder, Janet Walker has not displayed the dominant form that catapulted her from No. 99 in the nation last year to All-American status by the end of her junior season. Besides her singles victory against Missouri, her last win came against William and Mary's Delphine Troch on March 3. As a team, Texas has not beaten any school ranked in the top forty since a 7-0 dismantling of Arkansas on March 26. Since that match, Texas has lost to No. 5 Florida, No. 6 Georgia, No. 10 Arizona State, No. 18 Wake Forest and the 21st-ranked Aggies. 6-2 loss to Baylor marks Texas’ second straight defeat TENNIS, from 9 foiled to score a point for Texas in their tie break.

Meadows leads Texas into Big 12s By Kyle McNeely Daily Texan Staff The Texas women's golf team is hoping this year's Big 12 Championship is one of many firsts. The Longhorns are headed to The Harvester Golf Course in Rhodes, Iowa, which is hosting its first ever Big 12 Championship tournament. No Big 12 teams had ever played the par 72,6,593-yard course until practice rounds Saturday. Through nine tournaments this season, the Homs have not been able to win a tournament, although they have been ifi great position, finishing in the top ten in every event this year. "They are long over due," Texas head coach Susan Watkins said of the victory drought. "Our goal is to dominate and make a statement. This week we are all business." If the Homs are to win, they will need Randi Meadows to continue her stellar play. She has card­ ed second place finishes in her past two tourna­ ments, the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Classic and the Liz Murphy Collegiate Qassic. "She is on fire — her patience has paid off," Watkins said. "[Suzanne] Sowers, our captain, has done an excellent job, but Meadows is in control, they are all in control and are feeding off each other. We are so ready." Joining Meadows in the hunt for a title are Kristen Dufour, Jessica Reese, Janice Olevencia and Sowers. Last year the Homs finished in fourth at the Big 12 tourney, then placed third at the NCAA Championships, and they will be gunning for the top spot this week. "We have to be on, shoot low numbers the first day and continue till the end," Watkins said. "This is a team that can win the National Title."

Rogers is a 6-foot 4-inch 320-pounder whose senior season at Texas was plagued by that nag­ ging ankle injury. In 1999, Rogers was a first- team all-Big 12 selection. The Lions picked up Michigan offensive tack­ le Jeff Backus and Nebraska center Dominic Raiola before taking Rogers toward the end of the second round. Hampton and Rogers spent some time together Sunday afternoon, "just hanging out." "H e was in great spirits today," Hampton said. "We had great fun." Three other former H om s who made them­ selves eligible for the draft were not selected over die weekend. Safety Greg Brown, kicker Kris Stockton, and running back H odges Mitchell were all passed on during the draft, but that does not mean that they won't end u p signing with an NFL team during tire offseason. None of those three players could be reached for comment Sunday regarding their plans for pursuing careers in the NFL. The Associated Press contributed to this report Track looking to tune up By Avery Holton Daily Texan Staff Women's track head coach Bev Kearney said she hoped the Longhorn Invitational Team Championships would be a good chance for her squad to prep for the upcom­ ing Peen Relays as well as the National Championship. But it was the victory of unranked Washington State that concerned Kearney and her team. Holding onto a No. 7 national ranking, the Horns went into foe Friday-Satuiday meet with high expectations of improving on what has been a progressively better outdoor campaign. "The team we have out there right now is a whole different team," senior All- American Angel Patterson said. "We still have some things we need to do and some of us need to step up, but we're getting there." After a disappointing indoor season that saw foe Horns slip from No. 1 down to No. 22, Kearney said she expected Iter athletes would fair better when foe outdoor compe­ titions rolled around. "We didn't have a great indoor effort, but I know that we always get better perform­ ances when we get outdoors," Kearney said. "That's just how we are." Kearney's prediction about the outdoor season held foie until this weekend as foe Horns had already qualified in seven events and held onto their highest outdoor ranking of foe season. But Washington State and No. 6 LSU put a damper on the Horns' hopes of steady improvement as they took first- and sec­ ond-place finishes with 160 and 149 points respectively. r Still, Kearney said she believes her team is moving in the right direction, and a third place finish at the Longhorn Invitational isn't a major set-back. "This showed us just how much work we still have to do," Kearney said. "Some of our ladies are progressing nicely and we had some good individual performances, but we're just not getting it done right now." Still, a third place finish didn't stop Texas from taking away some major victories. On their way to gaining 101 points, foe Longhorns also grabbed three individual victories, set a pair of school records and qualified four more runners. Freshman Raasin McIntosh heated up for a NCAA automatic qualifying time of 57.50 in the 400-meter hurdles. McIntosh fin­ ished second to already-qualified senior All-American Angel Patterson. Patterson, who holds the No. 1 national spot in the event, remained undefeated with a time of 57.41. Junior All-American Lakeesha White sprinted her way to qualifying marks in both the 100 and 200-meters. White notched an automatic qualifying time of 1126 in foe 100-meter while taking away a provisional qualifying time in the 200-meter. Taking home a third place finish in the 400-meters, sophomore All-American Moushaumi Robinson also walked away with a provisional qualifying time of 53.07. But taking the helms of foe needed improvement were sophomore Jaclyn Owusu and freshman Jenna Vaughan. Owusu, who said before foe outdoor campaign that she just wanted to get a vic­ tory in a meet, saw her hopes come true as foe triple-jumped 41-feet 1.75-inches to win the event. Pole-vaulter Vaughan vaulted despite a mildly sprained ankle and topped her own personal best, and school record, when she cleared 10-feet 11.75-inches for a sixth place finish. "This season is a season of work and improvement for me," Vaughan said. "I just have to go out there everyday and try to get better at what I do." Vaughan's words, while individually spoken, could be the team-motto that Kearney is looking for. With foe 107th annual Penn Relays scheduled for this week and the conference and national championships soon to follow, Kearney continues to push her team to suc­ ceed. "We have the talent to do what we want to do," Kearney said. "We just need to push ourselves to get there." Horns lose twice by mercy rule NO MERCY, from 9 Texas' misery wasn't over, however, as the Bears scored four times in the sixth. King's two-out homer in the sev­ enth pulled the score to 14-6. But Baylor added another run in the eighth, and D urbin finished Texas off w ith a walk- off RBI single. Thorp (3-0) earned the w in w ith 5 2 /3 innings in relief of starter Derek Brehm, w ho m ade his first start since serving a 15-game suspension after being arrest­ ed for allegedly shooting, skinning and decapitating a stray cat. Baylor gets needed wins over UT BAYLOR, from 9 matchup. "We were at a point in our season where our backs were, clearly against the wall," said Smith, who improved his record against Texas to 16-8. "I don't think it mattered who we were pláying, our backs were against the wall. We were almost in a must-win situation." Over the past week, Baylor endured a difficult five-game road trip that began with a three-game set up north against No.5 Nebraska. Baylor's offense managed to plate only 10 runners in the series, while its pitching staff surrendered 22 runs to Cornhusker hitters. After being swept in Lincoln, Smith's team traveled to San Marcos where it took 15 innings to claim a 3-2 victory over Southw est Texas State. A nd w ith the loss to Texas on Friday, Baylor ended the trip with a 1-4 record. "It's a big accomplishment to w in the [Texas] series," Smith said. "We w ent on the road last week and got it handed to us. Then we went on the road down there on Friday and don't get a lot done offensively. These were two pretty good days for us to bounce back." After a six-hit, one-run perform ance at Disch-Falk Field, the Baylor bats came to life, pounding out 34 hits and scoring 28 runs in Waco. Durbin, w ho was recruited by Texas, led the offensive surge for the Bears. The sophomore, w ho w ent 6-for-ll with two hom eruns and 6 RBIs at Baylor Ballpark, said he m ade the correct choice w ith the Bears. "I'm glad I came here, because we talented ballclub," the m ore have Durbin said. "I don't know anyone who has 10- run-ruled Texas two times in a row," said Baylor catcher Kelly Shoppach, w ho w ent 3-for-5 w ith a hom erun and 2 RBIs. "We're going to enjoy it for about five m inutes and then get back to work." The two wins move Baylor into a tie w ith the Longhorns for second place in the Big 12. C.

One hour later, he won the 200-meter dash at 21.00-seconds. "I'm happy with the win, but right now I'm not where I want to be and I'm not doing every­ thing correct," Armstrong said. "I want to be smoother in my start and better in the finish." No. 16 Texas had an impres­ sive start and finish as it took the team title with 185 points, almost 70 points ahead of sec­ ond place, No. 15 Texas A&M (116). No. 1 LSU finished third with 99 points, Washington State fourth with 94 and Minnesota fifth at 59 points. "They've got a lot of heart, this bunch," Thornton said. "They've stuck together real well." At one point, Texas won five running events in a row. The Horns also claimed half of the field event titles. Texas won eight events overall. "We've got to carry this over and take this attitude into the conference meet," Thornton said. "We've just got to come out at every event." Freshman Dylan Armstrong kicked it off for Texas Friday by winning the hammer throw. His throw was marked at 220-feet, 5- inches, which was 20 feet farther than the second place finisher, Javier Nieto of LSU. Also on Friday, senior Chris Hercules finished third in the long jump at 23-feet 111/ 2-inch­ es. Sophomore Tim Brown placed third in the triple jump at 47-feet 1 /4-inch on Saturday, and sophomore Matt Pearce cleared 6-feet 7 1 /2-inches to take second in the high jump. Dylan Armstrong and sopho­ more Reggie Griffith battled it out in the shot put, and they fin­ ished first and second, with Griffith coming out on top. The throw of 56-feet 1-inch was Griffith's first collegiate win and a personal record by almost four feet. figured some "It was nice," Griffith said. "I just technical things out and everything clicked today, so we'll see if I can figure it out again." Sophomore Jermaine Cooper caught up with Aggie Kris Allen for what looked like a tie finish. Allen actually took the top spot by finishing .005-seconds ahead of Cooper. Allen clocked 13.515 and Cooper timed 13.52. Both times are automatic qualifiers for NCAA's. Cooper's time jumped him into a tie for the fourth best time in the nation. "It was a good r^ce, no doubt about that," Cooper said. "Just as well as I can beat people, I can get beat, but I feel like I'm get­ ting more comfortable." Senior Calvin Williams won the 400-meter hurdles with a provisional time of 51.12 sec­ onds, and he also placed fourth in thé 110-meter hurdles. In the 800-meter race, senior Aaron Crockett and jiinior Brian Rue finished first and third, Jordan respectively, McCambridge from behind to take second in the 1,500-meter run at 3:49.58, and sophomore Kevin Barra won the 3,000-meter steeplechase. junior came Junior Brian Hunter finished off the meet with a personal best and nation-leading pole vault of 18-feet, 6 1 /2-inches. Hunter cleared the mark, which is the seventh best in the world this year, but left the bar wobbling in the wind. "It was a pretty good jump," Hunter said. "It wasn't the cleanest, but it counts. It was good to see a progression."

But it wouldn't matter when Texas played, as Oklahoma State handed foe team a 4-0 loss in foe first game and a 4-3 defeat in foe second. The Longhorns fell back under foe .500 at 23-24 overall and 4-9 in foe Big 12. Oklahoma State improved to 22-20 overall with a 6-8 conference record. In Game 1, senior right-hander Charla Moore held OSU scoreless through five innings, but Cowboys' pitcher Lauren Bay topped Moore by one-hitting foe Longhorns. The Cowgirls scored all four of their runs in the sixth, powered by a double, triple, and a home run in three consecutive at bats. Texas had a chance in the seventh, loading the bases with two outs, but freshman third baseman Missy Malchi struck out to end foe game. Moore allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings before giving way to King, who dosed out the game in relief. Moore got the loss and moved to 13- 12 on the season. In the second game of the double header, Oklahoma State scored early on foe Texas starter, King, posting two runs in the second inning and another in the third. Texas came back in the fourth inning, when first baseman Trisha Tatro hit a solo shot over the center field fence. Later in foe inning, Texas loaded the bases for pinch-hitter Deeanna Williams whose 2-run single up the middle tied the game at three. With strong pitching by both pitch­ ers, the game carried into extra innings when two Longhorn errors put OSU runners at first and second b a se with no outs. Lauren Bay's RBI- double down the left field line ended the game, 4-3. King pitched 8 1/3 innings in the second game, allowing four runs — one earned — and striking out four. With foe loss, King's record moved to 10-12 on the season. Texas continues Big 12 play Wednesday with a 6:30 p.m. game in College Station against No. 22 Tecas A&M. The Longhorns lost 1-0 in their last meeting with the Aggies, an April 4 contest at McCombs Field in Austin.

By its resolution, life, or the human condition, that constantly forges obsta­ cles to cross is the villain of Last Resort and when its most effective, the film calls into question the intrinsic struggle to move which in turn forces such problems. Still, Pawlikowski doesn't engage the audience until the film's end because too often the film's story­ line skips from points A to C, without alluding to B. Last Resort is easy enough to follow, even without the reasoning behind some scenes, such as Tanya's motivation to look into the pornogra­ phy business a second time or the arcade manager's niceness to her and brutality towards others, but if there's a flaw to be found, the film's occasional streamline approach makes it feel as though something's missing. In spite of what's not in Last Resort, what is in it is well worth the trip and those feeljng literally and figuratively fingered by a certain Freddy this week­ end, might want to make Last Resort their next destination. Take a break. You've ear By Stephen Salto Daily Texan Staff Like Eventually Last Resort, the first of six films in the reliably intriguing semi­ annual Shooting Gallery Film Series, will become the basis for a Hollywood Skjoldbjaerg's Erik film. Norwegian debut Insomnia, wr tich is currently being remade with A1 Pacino and directed by Christopher Nolan of Memento fame, some studio exec will most likely stumble upon it and see its com­ mercial potential... if only it had more American sensibili­ ties. In fact, it is Last Resort's decidedly un-American take on the story of a Russian single mother who immigrates to England for love, only to find despair is in store for her; that makes it so unique. An instant after we are introduced to Tanya, who waits with her son in a British airport for her fiancee to arrive, and never shows, she claims political asylum with the hope she can find him. As immigration officials escort Tanya and her son away, she takes a moment to assure him things are going to be bet­ ter. There is a light reflecting out of the outer crescent of her eyes and with lit­ tle else but the $85 in her pocket and a framed illustration which she designed for her former job as a children's book writer, it's all but impossible not to believe her. However, Pawel Pawlikowski's direction literally takes hold from that point on, creating a film that is every bit as jarring as the camerawork of the film's cinematographer Ryszard Lenczewski. Tanya moves into a decrepit flat, which her son aptly calls "the armpit of the universe," that offers little more promise than the water­ logged wallpaper of palm trees and sandy beaches that is shedding like dead skin. Only shortly after, she is approached by a seedy online pomog- rapher (what other type is there?) and though she doesn't completely fall into that trap, it serves as a jumping off point for a prolonged series of compli­ cations, culminating with her unwill­ ingness to fall in love with the arcade manager. Again, if only some of these ele­ ments were tweaked, perhaps the arcade manager could be legit and debonair or Tanya could be more sym­ pathetic, then somewhere between casting Juliá Roberts and Johnny Depp to avoiding the more -lurid aspects of daily life for Tanya and her son, Last Resort could be a Hollywood block­ buster. Yet in its honesty, the film thrives as an uncompromising depic­ tion of circumstance for someone who isn't in a extremely dire situation, but nonetheless is fascinating to watch. Last Resort also benefits from the top notch performances of Dina Korzun, Artiom Strelnikov, and Paddy Considine, who play Tanya, her son and the arcade manager respectively. Between Korzun and Considine, Tanya and the arcade manager's relationship is unforced and through Pawlikowski's script, cow nt- ten with Rowan Joffe, it wisely tells a tale of love forming out of necessity rather than romance, a story angle largely ignored by most films. Last Resort certainly isn't like most films and in his acute awareness, direc­ tor Pawlikowski plays upon conven­ tion to keep the mood light. Following Tanya's inevitable surrender to the arcade manager's charms, a sex scene occurs, but not between her and the arcade manager, rather it is her son peering through the window of the local online pomographer. In another act of defiance, we never see Mark, the fiancee who leaves Tanya at the airport, instead hearing only a brief hello on the telephone after which the camera quickly cuts away.

They have dead-erfd jobs and live in the "cave" — their empty, dark apartment enthroned by com­ puters. Their lives revolve around computer-gaming, programming, Web-surfing, downloading music and software or discussing technical issues and the future of computers. They have endured high school, a time of rebellion and social rejection. Their computers are their refuge and their point of victory. These two young men, Jesse and Eric, are geeks. "Geek: a member o f the new cultural elite, a pop-culture-loving, techno-cen- tered Community o f Social Discontents. Most geeks rose above a suffocatingly unimaginative educational system, where they were surrounded by obnox­ ious social values and hostile peers, to build the freest and most inventive cul­ ture on the planet: the Internet arid the World Wide Web. Now they are run­ ning the systems that run the world. Tendency toward braininess and indi­ viduality, traits that often trigger resentment, isolation, or exclusion. Identifiable by a singular obsessiveness about the things they love, both work and play, and a well-honed sense of bit­ ter, even savage, outsider humor. Universally suspicious o f authority. In this era, the Geek Ascension, a positive, even envied term . . . " — Jon Katz, Geeks Geeks shows us the Internet not as a place for isolation, but as a home for aji outsider of society. The Internet not only gave them a place of acceptance, but a source of knowledge. Jon Katz understands where Jesse and Eric come from — he also dealt with being an outsider in high school. His empathy towards the situation lends itself to writing on this topic. His connection to these boys allows him to under­ stand and explain their story. Jesse and Eric escape a pervasive small-town mentality through a perilous journey of ups and downs; themselves they lengths limits of Caldwell, beyond the take Idaho. Self-taught computer knowl­ edge takes them places and empow­ ers them. The Internet is their tool and means for escape. Through the Internet they discover a world beyond the one they live in: good paying jobs, higher education and the big city. Making big decisions, they go through social changes, dra­ matic changes in environment. the Colombine One major factor in Jesse and Eric's successes was a teacher who didn't give up on them. A teacher tapped into the minds of Jesse and Eric forming a club for them — Geeks. This club was a sanctuary for them, a place of acceptance — their place. Stressing the importance of a place of belonging, Katz comments on tragedy. He emphasizes the need to tap into kids, encourage and value them, give them acceptance. He criticizes the media's portrayal of Colombine — heightened panic and paranoia of kids who play Quake or Doom, who wear a trench coat. Taking off the coats or deleting the games from computers answer. Encouragement, tapping in and helping them through the labels they've been given by society and their peers might help with in­ school violence. isn't the Jon Katz wrote earlier articles on geeks in HotWired and Rolling Stone, culminating these ideas and his research within Geeks. He is very in touch with the readers via e-mail. Katz talks of the many geeks, teach­ ers, parents and teenagers who have written and thanked him for telling their story. Exposing geeks as a growing cultural and sociological phenomenon, he brings us a differ­ ent story of the faces of students of schools and Santana. like Columbine Geeks has been proclaimed one of Amazon.com's "Top 10 Cyberculture Books" of 2000 and an American Library Association Best Nonfiction Book for Young Adults. Jon Katz shows us a growing culture and comments on it; his writing is clear, accessible and gives us insight into what it means to be a geek. Besides documenting cyberculture, the story of Jesse and Eric is compassionate and interesting, showing us friend­ ship and optimism.

Thomas Meredith/ Daily Texan Staff t r e m e r i e n c e 101X'Spring brings together five bands, eclectic crowd to Waterloo Park Fest By Lucy Quintanilla Daily Texan Staff Although departing from past 101X Feats with 10 band line-ups, Friday's Spring Fest at Waterloo Park lived up to expectations. The con­ certs, less like an event this year than last, showed what all five bands do best — perform. Hosted by radio station KROX 101.5, vendors erf all sorts surrounded the small but personal i that allowed for a more intimate setting i venues like Auditorium Shores and South Meadows. At 4 p.m., Austin's own Godzilla Motor Company took the stage and played a 30-minute set. Their metal rock blasted over the towering speakers as concert-goers trickled into Waterloo Park. Most know that Austinites are not known for their punctuality and are usually at least 30 min­ utes late for most events. This was no exception as GMC played to a small but loyal crowd. Most preferred to sit on the grass rather than stand near the stage. Unlooo, another Austin band, took the stage at 4:45 p.m. With a beaming introduction from Ben Blaze and Trina from 101X they stepped out and began. Lead singer Joey Dueñas shouted "Austin, Austin, home sweet home," to the crowd, explaining that they were happy to be back after their current tout Dueñas's voice echoed in the park as he belted out song after song, each more intense and emotional than the last, including radio idease "Face Down." Oleander took the stage at 5:50 p.m. and not five minutes into foe show people were crowd surfing. Oleander's music was foe most rock intensive in the 101X show, although the station claims to be the "new rock alternative." Oleander's sound w aspure rock — no synthe­ sizers, DJs or rappers. Tneir music seemed to be made fear live performance and showed in their set as they played songs from their current idease Unwind including "Are you there?" Oigy was a breath of fresh air that got foe audi­ ence moving after three sets of head-bobbing rock music. Their set, right before the Offspring, made the audience livelier than in foe past three sets combined. They walked onto foe stage as foe crowd screamed their name and yelled at foe top of their lungs. With each thumping ihythm, Orgy showed that any person who thought they had faded into obscurity was sorely mistaken. They played hits from the past like "Stitches" and cur- ' rent release "Eva." 'Orgy closed with their remake of '80s song "Blue Monday" as lead singer Jay Gordon used his microphone cord as a whip and jumped around the stage looking more like domina trix than a lead singer. The doors opened at 3 p.m., but it was more than five hours later that The Offspring took the stage and brought the eclectic crowd together — a blend of pre-pubescent kids and adults. But headliners the Offspring brought them together as they began to cnant their name and pound their fists into the air. Without a word to the audi­ ence, lead singer Dexter Holland began to belt the words "Hey man you know I'm really okay," the first line to "Bad Attitude" from 1994's Smash. They continued to chum out hit after hit from past albums Smash, bcnay on the Hombre, Americana and current release Conspiracy of One. The Offspring has been able to keep its sound fresh, unlike some early 1990s bands, but has received criticism for their new look, including short hair and a more pop-punk sound. While playing a guitar lick from "Come Out and Play," Holland said to bassist Noodles, "I can play that shit with short hair." Noodles replied, "I think you're on to something." Noting that some believe without their long hair and post-grunge look from the early 1990s, they were not the same Offspring. They were wrong. They played their older songs to foe cheers of fans until Holland said, 'Tuck, I'm tired. Time for intermission," and proceeded to collapse into a . big blue chair on-stage. At foe same time, a man the size of Fat Bastard — wearing nothihg but a red g-string with an elephant's very elongated trunk covering his neither region danced on stage. A voice boomed that it was time for inter­ mission and island music blared as confetti was blown into the sea of hands swaying overhead. Thomas Meredlth/Daily Texan Staff Dexter Holland, lead singer of the Offspring, gets the crowd charged up at 101X Spring Fest. 101X Spring Fest • i i 9 J * 4 ‘ . r k ' • Paige Haley, bass player for Orgy, entertains the crowd at 101X Spring Fest Friday. Thomas Meredith/ Daily Texan Staff After that, newer songs from Americana and Conspiracy of One were performed, like "Pretty Fly (for a white guy)," "Why don't you get a job" arid "Original Prankster." Holland thanked the crowd for coming and all walked off the stage. Few, if any, left as the crowd again chanted "Offspring" until they returned to the stage for their encore. One old and one new song concluded the set "Want you bad" and the quintessential Offspring song, "Self-Esteem." They proved they are the same Offspring, even with short hair. Still punk after all these years.
