VOL. 100, No. 102 Administration approves tuition, fee raise Kathryn A. Wolfe Daily Texan Staff ITT officials approved a $14-per- credit-hour increase in tuition and fees Tuesday, as well as a $1.1 million increase in financial aid grants to help needy UT students handle the fee hike. For a stu d en t registered for 15 hours, the increase will mean an addi­ tional $210 per semester. The new tuition and fees will take effect in Fall 2000. A dm in istrators had been d is­ cussing the tuition and fee raises since mid-February. A final decision w as m ade by UT President Larry Faulkner and Provost Sheldon Ekland-Olson. Faulkner, who could not be reached Tuesday, said in an earlier interview that the increases are an attempt to address the U niversity's "m ost press­ ing quality-related them es." UT Vice Provost Stephen Monti said the money from the fee increases will be used to hire an additional 30 faculty m em bers, increase financial aid to the neediest UT students, increase com pensation packages for faculty, staff and graduate teaching assistants, and support library and information technology needs. Monti ad d ed that the new faculty will likely be hired to work in areas of study used by the m ost students at the University, but he stressed that no final decision h as been m ad e on which departm ents will receive the new faculty. Provost [Ekland-Olson] has said that they're going to be in the core dis­ ciplines, m ost heavily in natural sci­ ences and liberal arts courses that are heavily im pacted," Monti said. UT officials will decide which departm ents will receive the new fac­ ulty next year, and it will probably take another year before new faculty members begin teaching, Monti said. The new faculty will be hired to improve the University's student-fac- ulty ratio, which is currently 20.6-to-l. The University of California at Berke­ ley, considered a peer institution, has a student-faculty ratio of 17-to-l. The income from the fee hike will also be used to boost compensation for UT em ployees, including increas­ ing the pool for merit raises in faculty salary by 6 percent, augm enting the pool for staff salary raises by 4 percent and adding to a "tuition benefit" pro­ gram for graduate teaching assistants and assistant instructors. Teaching assistants and assistant instructors with a 20-hour teaching ap p oin tm en t will essen tially have their tuition and fees — am ounting to $1,500 per sem ester — paid by the University. Those who have a teach­ ing appointm ent between 11 and 19 hours will receive a tuition benefit of $750, or roughly half their tuition and fee total per semester. Those with an appointm ent of less than 11 hours will not receive a tuition benefit, Monti INCREASE/Page2 INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN Cervical cancer detecting device designed at UT Robert Mayer D aily Texan S ta ff UT research ers h av e develop ed a m ore efficient m ethod of detecting cervical cancer that could give d octors a faster interpretation of their patien ts' gyn ecological health.

Bush sw ept past John McCain in three Republican presi- dential contests Tuesdav, buoyed ^ gÉ M f by the religious right ™ ™ and parri’ faithful in Vir­ ginia's battleground to fatten his dele­ gate count in advance of next week's 13-state "Super Tuesday" showdown. In the Democratic campaign, Vice President A1 Gore beat Bill Bradley in a popular-vote Washington state pri­ mary that yielded no delegates. The defeat w as a severe blow for the for­ mer N ew Jersey senator, who had invested heavily in the political "beau­ ty pageant" in hopes of rejuvenating his sagging campaign. With the see-saw ing Republican presidential race exposing a rift between the party's conservative and m oderate wings, Bush said McCain paid a high price for attacking evan­ gelical leaders. "The voters of Virginia Gov. George W. B ush's Austin campaign headquarters w as filled with excitement after word of a decisive victory in Virginia's Republican primary. Press interns Cindy Dalmau, left, and John Deary watch Bush's victory speech in the headquar­ ters' “war room," where campaign employees monitor news from the primaries. John Healy/DAILY TE XA N STAFF rejected the politics of putting one reli­ gion against another;" the Texas gov­ ernor said. "We are expanding our base without destroying our founda­ tions." Their bitter fight also w as waged in North Dakota and Washington state, and Bush won the delegate chase in both states. He picked up 56 delegates in Virginia, 14 in North Dakota and a still undetermined number in Wash­ ington state to take the lead in the race toward 1,034 — the number needed for the GOP nomination. Bush won the majority of Republi­ can voters in Washington state. H ow ­ ever; voters who picked a third non­ partisan ballot chose McCain hands down over Bush, Bradley and Gore. Sounding tired but defiant, McCain told backers in Bakersfield, Calif., that Bush w as guilty of using negative tac­ tics. "M y opponent wants to be presi­ dent in the worst way. I want to be president in the best way."

Monti added that the University has had a tuition benefit in place for the past four years, but next year will mark the first in which the University is able to pay tuition and fees in full for certain graduate students. Stu dent G overnm ent President Parisa Fatehi said concerns about the fee increases were largely met by the inclusion of the $1.1 million increase in financial aid. But she added that there are two other issues the adm in­ istration needs to address — addi­ tional student representation on fee com m ittees extra receiving money and ensuring that the Univer­ sity is "sending the right m essage" to the Texas Legislature. the funds Fatehi said fee com mittees gaining significant extra the increase, such as the Inform ation Technology A dvisory C om m ittee, should take measures to enhance stu­ dent participation. from "W e want the structure to be more student-friendly and make sure the students on those com m ittees have the m axim um d ecision-m aking pow er," Fatehi said, although she added that increased student partici­ pation doesn't necessarily mean hav­ ing an extra member on the com m it­ Fatehi said an example of greater participation could be the creation of a student co-chair for the ITAC com­ mittee, currently chaired solely by Monti, which would give students more control over the direction the committee takes. Fatehi added that SG is concerned that the approval of fee increases might cause state legislators to lessen their com m itm ent to increasing state- appropriated funds for the Universi­ ty "M y concern is the overall m essage to the Legislature is that students are willing to foot more of the bill than you are, and that's the opposite m es­ sage we hear [from students] and that we are sending to the Legislature as students," Fatehi said. Fatehi also said she m et w ith Faulkner about the issue, and that he is willing to discuss it further. "I hope that we will continue to address the concerns and then to make sure that we can hold them accountable," Fatehi said, adding that the addition of financial-aid dollars — which was not part of the original proposal — was a good exam ple of administration responding to student concerns. d iction s m akes a b ig d iffe re n ce ," W atson said.

W hile she did have som e good advice, I w ould like to challenge the im por­ tance of goals by illustrating the im portance of a cand id ate's skills and experience. Frankly, no candidate has som e unique vision for the C o-O p that no one thought of before. Today, I w ould like to ask the voters not to listen too m uch to prom ises candidates make. W hy? Because all of us, (as students too), want the sam e things, i.e. low er book prices, higher buyback rates, an e-refund system , etc. Because all o f us have the sam e goals, our prom ises sh ou ld n't be the sole criteria on w hich w e are evaluated . Instead, I ask that voters evaluate the candidates based on experience and skills, because it is those of us w ho are experienced and skilled that can and w ill do the best job. For exam ple, som e of the candidates running for this position have actually served on the board of directors for different com panies. There is no doubt that this leaves these people far more q u al­ ified for the position than freshmen who are sim ­ ply m em bers of a school organization. E xperience serving on a board not only allow s candidates to develop skill sets and an intricate know ledge for the job that are irreplaceable, but also gives them the op portu nity to get things done im m ediately w ithout having to spend "o u r" time learning the process. Also, som e o f the candidates have exp e­ rience with finance and accounting, tw o very im portant skills that ou r rep should have. Every decision the co-op m akes involves money, so our representative M U ST understand these specific skills to m ake sound decisions.

University Federal I O l I C R E D I T U N 6 T h e D a i l y T e x a n WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1,20 0 0 UNIVERSITY N e w s E d it o r Katy Marquardt texanews@uts.cc.utexas.edu NEW ARTISTS SERENADE Pornography on West Mall attracts attention Will Potter Daily Texan Staff Surrounded by stacks of porno­ graphic magazines, members of the Knighthood of BUH urged students passing through the West Mall Tues­ day to exchange their Bibles for pornography. Their requests were met by a vari­ ety of responses, from angry glares to laughs and waves. Matt Wright, a classics freshman, questioned the student humor orga­ nization's intentions. "They say they are not trying to offend people, but I don't buy it," he said. "They know what they are doing. It obviously hurts what is close to a lot of people. Pornography is destructive, and the combination of that with something sacred is very offensive." In response to complaints from offended students, Kevin Rome, assistant dean of Campus and Com­ munity Involvement, approached the student group with the UTPD. "I asked them to stop because it was offending people," Rome said. "But I didn't make them leave." Vendors are not allowed to distrib­ ute the material, he said, but students are allowed as long as they don't break the law by distributing pornog­ raphy to minors. The Knighthood of BUH's table was temporarily shut down around 11 a.m. Tuesday because members did not have their West Mall permit on hand; a student, Jason Thalken, took the permit to class. When Thalken returned with the permit, the antics resumed. Members of the Knighthood said this and other pranks the group has staged, such as a "Sperm Drive" and "Pollution Rally," are not meant to offend. "This has the highest offense ratio of anything w e've done, but not intentionally," said Thalken, a physics and philosophy senior. "It's obvious that it's absurd. But it's more absurd people would complain about it. We aren't making anti-religious state­ ments. We're just trying to amuse ourselves." Marian Perera, a microbiology graduate student, said she appreciat­ ed the group's sense of humor. "It's a refreshing change from the usual, morose, preaching-type stuff on the West Mall," she said. "It's nice to see people use their First Amend­ ment rights." Sharon Justice, dean of students, said students can exercise their rights provided they work within the limits. "In no way do we want to infringe on student organizations' right to free speech," she said. "But also they are not allowed to harass or intimidate people." In total, the Knighthood of BUH collected five Bibles Tuesday and plans to continue the rest of the week. Members have not decided what to do with the Bibles. Some have sug­ gested selling them back to a book­ store to help pay for the pornography. Others half-joki ngly recommended using them to erect a statue of Scott Baio, from TV's Charles In Charge. Students choose service for break Sergio Ybarra Daily Texan Staff While many students are planning to spend their Spring Break sunning or skiing, a few will channel their energy into building homes for low- income families or polishing their career skills in one-week internships. The University Volunteer Center will send about 12 students on an Alternative Spring Break to Monter­ rey, Mexico, where they will work with a Mexican volunteer agency to build houses and shelters for home­ less people. Holly Kosiewicz, chair of the trip, said the Alternative Spring Break will allow her to fulfill her dream of help­ ing others and will prepare her for the Peace Corps. "I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by going on this trip," said Kosiewicz, a government and Span­ ish sophomore. "Students don't seem to realize that they can have fun and help people." During the weeklong project, stu­ dents will work during the day but are free to enjoy traditional Spring Break activities such as sightseeing, mountain tours and market shopping during the evening. Leslie Strickland, administrative assistant at the University Volunteer Center, said students will be will be building houses primarily for families with children. About 40 students will travel to Alternative Spring Break destina­ tions, including Jacksonville, Fla., where students will work with area churches and mentor to at-risk youth, and Shiprock, N.M., where they will clean waterways and collect trash on a Navajo Indian reservation. Applications for the program were due last April. Students who applied were required to interview with the Universitv Volunteer Center and sub­ mit a $50 deposit for trip expenses, which average $150. Other students who won't be head­ ing for the beach this Spring Break include participants in the College of Communication's Externship pro­ gram. Dunng the program, 10 students will shadow professionals in their chosen field, said Robert Vega, pro­ gram coordinator and student devel­ opment specialist at the Communica­ tions Career Services. Vega said students will be able to learn necessary career skills while net- working with professionals in careers they plan to pursue. "I've heard that it helps a lot in get­ ting summer internships with certain companies," said Theo Coukoulis, an advertising senior who applied for the program. Students were required to fill out an application and write an essay to apply for the program.

Ryan Coleman/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Parents file suit over accident Prairie View A&M accident sparks lawsuit against Ford Will Potter Daily Texan Staff The parents of two Prairie View A&M students killed in a van accident earlier this month have filed a lawsuit against Ford Motor Co., claiming the Ford van was unstable and defective. Parents of Samuel Stums, a 21-year- old from Jasper, and Jerome Jackson, a 22-year-old from Dallas, two of four students killed on the w ay to a track meet in Arkansas Feb. 10, filed the lawsuit Monday in Marshall federal court. The other students killed were Houston Watson, 21, from Greenville, and Vernon James II, an 18-year-old from Vallejo, Calif. Jay English, the lead attorney for the two families, said the Ford E350 Econoline 15-passenger van is unsta­ ble when filled to capacity and more prone to flip in emergency situations. material as the front windshield. When the vehicle begins to roll, he said, the side windows break and pas­ sengers are ejected from the van. He added that he's unsure whether the families of the two other students killed would file a lawsuit. Ford spokeswoman Susa Krusel said the van rivals all peer vehicles in the market, meeting or exceeding all government standards for crash pro­ tection and roll-over status. "Based on what we have been hear­ ing, the driver apparently took high­ speed, evasive maneuvers," Krusel said. "We have also heard that some of the passengers were unbelted, and that the vehicle rolled seven times — that's a severe accident. But regardless of the cause, this is clearly a tragedy. " The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident, Krusel said. English also said the side windows of the van aren't made of the same A preliminary Texas Department of Public Safety report released earlier this month found that speeding may have been a factor in the crash. The van was traveling on State Highway 43 — a two-lane, East Texas road — on the way to a track meet in Pine Bluff, Ark. The report concluded that the van was speeding as it approached another vehicle preparing to make a left turn into a convenience store parking lot. The van veered onto the right shoulder, then flipped from three to seven times when it tried to steer back to the left. The crash occurred near Kamack, about 20 miles north of Mar­ shall. A final DPS report on the accident is pending. English said the van is unstable and should not be made to travel at a speed at which it is no longer maneu­ verable. "There is no possible way it was going faster than a speed it was intended to go," English said. J | f • w S S ^jf\ H i I . j J l l p T ^ . Jr — .v.

STATE & LOCAL T h e D a i l y T e x a n 7 WHMESD/nr, MM CH1,2000 GIVE THE GIFT OF UFE Found remains may be those of Austin student Neil Gilbert Daily Texan Staff found Investigators human remains, possibly those of a high school student who has been missing since last October, on a cliff near the Pennybacker Bridge in West Austin Tuesday. found Private investigators from the Ore­ gon-based Guardian Angel Youth Ser­ vices, an adolescent intervention agency, the decomposed remains in a thickly wooded area around 9 a.m. while searching for Gabriel Lester, a 17-year-old student at St. Stephens Episcopal School in the West Lake Hills area. "We had men saturating the area," said Timothy Smitty the agency's co­ owner. "One of the men saw a shoe and alerted me. I then climbed up through some thickets and saw the body." The investigators were hired last week by Lester's mother, Houston res­ ident Etoreen Wise, and began search­ ing the area at about 8 a.m. Tuesday. The remains have not been positive­ ly identified but are believed to be those of Lester, said Detective Bryce Miller from the Travis County Sheriff's Department, adding "speculation that the body is Gabriel Lester's is just speculation at this time." The Travis County Sheriff's Depart­ ment was on the scene by 10 a.m., and the remains were immediately sent to the Travis County Forensics Lab, Miller said. He said forensic examiners believe the remains had been on the cliff for several months. Miller said the remains could be identified as early as Wednesday. Wise reported her son missing Oct. 29,1999. At about 4 p.m. the same day, several of Lester's friends found his Ford Explorer parked on the north side of the Pennybacker Bridge, locat­ ed on Loop 360. That evening, the sheriff's depart­ ment extensively searched the area on foot and with canines. The department last searched the area in early Febru­ ary, when Wise funded an aerial search of the area. Miller said. The remains were found approxi­ mately 200 yards from where Lester's Explorer was found, leading to mom speculation that the remains are his. "We are led to believe that it is Gabe," said Luke Wallace, assistant director of Guardian Angels Youth Ser­ vices. Lester attended and lived at the West Lake-area boarding schcxjl. Houston cable viewers caught in fight between media giants Associated Press HOUSTON — Time Warner and ABC took their fistfight over retrans­ mission rights to the viewers Tuesday, hoping to win the loyalty of cable sub­ scribers whose local ABC affiliate could drop off the cable company's system Thursday. KTRK viewers are in the crossfire between the two media behemoths, who broke off negotiations for a nation­ al contract allowing Time Warner to retransmit ABC content. The network will deny Time Warner the right to broadcast ABC program­ ming as early as 12:01 a.m. CST Thurs­ day if no agreement is reached. The 1992 Cable TV Act gives over- the-air networks the right to require compensation from cable providers in return for permission to retransmit net­ work content. Cable companies either pay for the programming or barter space in their lineups, as was the case when Disney- ABC launched ESPN2 by forgoing money for exposure. Seven stations were under discus­ sion in the failed negotiations, but ABC chose only KTRK to take the hit for the Disney team. About 665,CKX1 Time Warner customers in Houston would lose the station. Both sides began publicity cam­ paigns on TV, radio and print T u ^ a y , each pushing the blame to the other and assuring cable customers that they would still be able to get KTRK one way or another. ABC's solution was to promise an "unprecedented plan to help viewers purchase satellite dishes quickly." However, for a second day, they did not provide specifics. Time Warner is countering with free antennas, the very kind cable was designed to replace, for those sub­ scribers who want them. ABC officials explained they chose Houston as the market where they would make their stand because cable penetration is low compared to other markets and KTRK is available on satel­ lite systems. Time Warner said ABC reneged on a deal that was all but signed and made a demand that would cost its subscribers about $100 million nationally. unbelievable," "The number of untruths that [Dis­ ney officials] are telling in this situation is Time Warner spokesman Mike Luftman said.

Alan K Davis/ DAILY T E X A N STAFF Innovation of community court featured at national conference Associated Press Com m unity courts administer for quick, com passionate minor offenses, but the legal commu­ nity has been slow to embrace the innovation, experts at a national con­ ference in Austin said Tuesday. justice 'The nonprofit Center for Court Innovation organized the meeting of about 40 people from 17 jurisdictions to compare solutions to common problems. John Feinblatt, director of the cen­ ter, said the 20 community courts around the nation address the pub­ lic's frustration with unpunished minor offenses that decrease the quality of life. "W hen you ask citizens what kinds of cases affect them in their everyday lives, they are talking abai|t public intoxication, public urination, prostitution on the street corner because those are the kinds of things they see when the take their kid to school in the morning," he said. Overworked municipal court judges are likely to slap small fines on these offenders or give them min­ imal jail time — sentences that do lit­ tle to prevent future problems, Fein­ blatt said. He said community court judges, on the other hand, spend more time with offenders and sentence them to community service and personalized drug counseling — sentences that can reduce recidivism. The courts also work much more closely with community groups, the police and social service agencies than municipal courts. The community court in Austin — the only one in Texas — has heard more than 2,500 cases, all minor offenses like public intoxication and prostitution, since it o p en ed ’ last October. Stacey Shorter, administrator of the Downtown Austin Community Court, said the court has been a suc­ cess adjudicating minor offenses in rowdy downtown Austin. Seventy percent of the people referred to drug counseling from the community court actually attend, compared to less than 50 percent of those sentenced by the municipal courts, she said. She also said offenders face the judge two days after their offense in community court. They wait 20 days in Austin's municipal courts. Shorter said she is not surprised there are only 20 such courts in the United States — they require the legal profession to abandon the tradi­ tional fast-paced, adversarial system.

"But the group was very friend­ ly, and guides knew7 a lot about nature and the park. The food was wonderful." On overnight trips, the groups generally sleep on the ground in sleeping bags without cover. However, on the trip to Lost Maples, rain caused most campers to seek shelter under a tarp. "It starting raining in the middle of the night," Guil- loud said. "But I was so exhausted from hiking all day, and since I had a water-proof sleeping bag, I just stayed outside under the stars and let the rain fall on my face." In addition to day trips and overnight excursions, Outdoor Adventures offers weeklong hiking and canoeing trips during student holidays. Over the win­ ter break, the program hosted two eight-day hiking trips to Big Bend National Park in West Texas. Daniel Schielzeth, a German graduate exdiange student in electrical engineering, along with the other participants on the trip, had an impromptu New Year's celebration in the remote desert and mountains of Big Bend. photos by: Nathan Lambrecht /DAILY TEXA N STAFF Guide Reo Tenango hikes out of camp at the end of the Outdoor Adventures weekend in Hill Country State Natural Area. "We had a whistle, and we found some pots, so we just m ade som e noise for about 10 minutes," Schielzeth said. "I thought maybe w e'd be able to see fireworks from another town, but we couldn't see anything." The Big Bend trip also offered seasoned campers a chance to retreat into a more rugged lifestyle, without showers or toilets for the week, an often-scarce water supply, 20-degree nights and 40-pound backpacks, said Julia Whitley, M IS/governm ent junior who attended the January trip. According to Whitley, scenery makes Outdoor Adventures exciting. "The best part is just being outdoors, because you never see scenery like there is in Big Bend," Whitley said. "You drive through the wasteland of Texas, then suddenly you see these huge mountains, and it's amazing. There's all kinds of animals and birds, and waking up in the morning and seeing the beautiful sunrise across the mountain range. It's breathtaking." In addition to making friends, participants gain a variety of insights into each area and activity because the trips usually include people who have different levels of knowledge about the outdoors. John Larkin, a geology junior who attended the Big Bend trip in January, said most people going on the trip alone mainly expected just to enjoy the outdoors. However, he said, the strong camp camaraderie became one of the most memorable parts of the tnp "Everyone works together cooking and setting up camp," Larkin said. "And then without a telephone, television or radio, the group has to be very social, and the best jokes, conversation and stories come out." However, the idea of group outings does not appeal to all students. Mike Wiggin, an accounting junior, has been exploring the outdoors for many years and said he enjoys the ability to plan his own schedule. For example, the trip to Enchanted Rock offered by Out­ door Adventures does not permit participants to be on the rock after dark, but staigazing from the rock is one of Wiggins' favorite activities. "I'd rather not deal with other people," Wiggin said. "I like going out with my friends and girlfriend. I think you can find cheaper prices going out by your­ self." O utdoor Adventures offers trips nearly every weekend throughout the semester. The next trip will be an overnight canoeing trip on the San Marocs River March 3-4. A weeklong trip canoeing the Lower Canyons in Big Bend will take place over Spring Break. Gilliland said she gained a great deal of insight from the Lost Maples trip and is looking forward to either a kayaking or backpacking excursion next. "It's interesting because these trips give you a chance to get away from your tiny life," Gilliland said. "You get away from tire big picture and realize what is important to you as a person rather than as a person to society. It's a chance to listen to what you're saying to yourself."

Texas an d H ouston, tw o old Southw est conference foes, took the field at C ougar Field on Tuesday night before the largest crow d in H ouston history, and slugged each other until som eone finally fell. A nd it w as H ouston that hit the canvas last. M att R osenberg d elivered the gam e-w inning single in the top of the ninth inning to bring hom e first basem an Jeff Ontiveros, as the No. 8 L onghorns held off th e No. 3 Cougars for a thrilling 8-7 victory before a packed house of 4,481 fans. "It w as just a great baseball gam e," Texas head coach Augie Gar- rido said after the game. "We had a bunch of guys out there on the field tonight that just scrapped it out and never gave up." Rosenberg an d O ntiveros w ere tw o of those guys. Rosenberg, who ended the game 2-for-4 w ith a career-high three RBls, hit a base hit in betw een first and second that allowed O ntiveros to race arou nd third. W hen he got there, he saw the ball arrive to UH catcher Jarrod Bitter so he slid around the backstop to get the run. "The ball beat me to the plate," the infielder said of right fielder Eric Lee's throw to home. "But I got around the catcher to get the run." The ball did get by Bitter, and as it did, Ontiveros prom ptly stood up and stom ped on hom e plate to sort of let everyone that w ho had won. But he w as hardly taking all the credit. "This w as just a great team effort," Ontiveros said. "There w asn 't one hero in this game, because every individual played their hearts out." The run w as more than enough for Charlie Thames, w ho closed out the victory by pitching a scoreless ninth. He has not given u p an earned run in 23 1 /3 innings of work, and the p er­ form ance earned him his sixth save of the season. D.J. Jones, m eanw hile, picked up the win to run his m ark to 4-2 after hurling a scoreless eighth.

A aron, an A ll-A m erican track sprinter and h u rdler for the No. 6 UT track team, is running for Liber­ al Arts representative in the UT Stu­ dent G overnm ent elections, w hich conclude today. "This is som ething 1 have alw ays w anted to do, b ut I never knew how to get involved," said Aaron, w ho is running on the EMPOWER ticket. "It's all about m anaging time, and 1 think 1 will be able to bring a new perspective to the Stu­ dent G overnm ent." The last five days have been a w hirlw ind of events for Aaron. He com peted last w eekend in Ames, Iowa, at the Big 12 track and field cham pionships, helping Texas to a second-place finish. A lthough he was unsuccessful in defending the 60-meter hurdles title he w on a year earlier, he did im prove his national standing in tw o other events. W hen the H orns travel to the NCAA m eet on M arch 10-11 in Fayetteville, Ark., Aaron will more than likely be com peting in three events: the 60-meter hurdles, 400- m eter dash and 400-meter relay, where he runs the anchor leg. "We d id n 't win the conference title, so the meet w as a bit of a dis­ appointm ent," said Aaron. "But I have been so busy this week 1 real­ ly h aven't had time to dw ell on it.

N ot only has Aaron been actively cam paigning for office, he m ade the difficult decision on M onday to leave the football team and concen­ trate only on running track.

SOFTBALUPage 10 Page 10 T h e D a il y T e x a n Wednesday, March 1, 2000 Former manager Anderson elected to Hall of Fame Associated Press south of Tampa. Spurs Continued from page 9 "There was a lot of push in Pittsburgh and by the Pirates, and I appreciate all that. It just didn't happen," he said. Anderson, who turned 66 last week, was elected in his first vear of eligibility. Third on baseball s career win list, he is the onlv manager to win World Series titles in both leagues. "I never wore a World Series ring, but I will wear this one every day until I die," he said from his home in Thousand Oaks. Calif. That to me, is how much difference there is between the World Series and Hall of Fame." Anderson guided Cincinnati from 1970-78 and the Tigers from 1979-85. He picked his hat as a wav of thank­ ing former Reds general manager Bob Howsam. "H e hired a 35-year-old nobodv knew, and he had the courage and fortitude to do that," Anderson said. "Had he not done that, I doubt very much in all honesty that I would have managed in the major leagues. And I owe that to him ." Anderson will become the 16th manager inducted into the shrine at Cooperstown, N.Y., on July 23. He has been to the upstate New York village, but has never set foot inside the Hall "I didn't ever want to go into the most precious place in the world unless I belonged there," he said. He will be joined by his former Big Red Machine first baseman, Tony Perez, and Boston catcher Carlton Fisk, both elected in January by the Baseball W riters' A ssociation of America. Longtime Reds broadcast­ er Marty Brennaman also will be inducted. TAMPA, Fla. — Sparky Anderson probably made at least a million decisions while he was a m ajor league manager, and on Tuesday he announced what might have been his toughest call yet. "The Hall of Fame rules say you can wear only one hat," he said, "and I will wear a Cincinnati Reds hat." The Veterans Committee put Ander­ son in the enviable position of picking a cap for his plaque, easily electing the popular Cincinnati and Detroit man­ ager. It also selected Negro Leagues outfielder Turkey Steames and 19th- century infielder Bid McPhee. But Ted Williams, Stan Musial and the rest of the 14-member panel had a lot more trouble deciding which former big leaguer to elect — be it Bill Mazeroski, Gil Hodges, Dom DiMaggio, Mel Harder or Tony Oliva. So for the first time since 1993, it did not choose anyone in that cate­ gory. "We hoped someone would be there, we really did," first-tim e member Hank Aaron said. "It just got too hard. Maybe next year." Afterward, the chewed-up pens and half-eaten cake in the meeting room told the story. Despite five hours of dis­ cussion and two tough ballots, it was a shutout — it took 11 votes for election, and Mazeroski just missed with 10. "It built my hopes up, but not to the point where this is a big let­ down," said Mazeroski, working as an spring training instructor for the Pirates in Bradenton, about an hour Aaron Continued from page 9 ASSOCIATED PRESS Former Detroit Tigers manager Sparky Anderson sm iles as he answ ers ques­ tions at a news conference after being voted into the Hall of Fame Tuesday. "It will be a tremendous thrill," Anderson said. Anderson was 863-586 with the Reds and led them to Series titles in 1975-76. He was 1,331-1,248 with the Tigers and guided them to the 1984 championship. Anderson, who made two other Series appearances, is the only m an­ ager to lead two teams in career wins.

While in high school in Marshall, Texas, Aaron was not only a two- sport star but also a two-year mem­ ber of his school's student council. Aaron contradicts the stereotype of an athlete who is detached from the student body and said he shares many of the same concerns other students have. "I have never liked the negative aura surrounding athletes suppos­ edly not being involved in campus issues. I want to show that athletes are not one-dim ensional," said Aaron. "We are first and foremost students first. And while we may be on scholarship, we also are worried about safety on campus, and issues like recruitment and retainment." Aaron said of the five people from his senior class who attended the University, only he remains. "That is very upsetting to me, and both the student body and the University as a whole have to do a better job in this area." Texas track coach Bubba Thornton is happy to see more athletes getting involved in campus issues. "We have guys who are part of the Greek com m unity and who are active in numerous campus organi­ zations," said Thornton. "H aving someone in the Student Government is another example of our athletes being known not for how fast they can run or how high they can jump, but who they are as people." Aaron, who hopes to be one of six Liberal Arts representatives elected, said a defeat will not deter him from his political hopes. "Even if I don't get elected, this is something I definitely want to get involved with," Aaron said. "I'm not just doing this for kicks. I am very serious about this." Aaron is nearing the finish line of this political race, with only a few' more hurdles to clear. But clearing hurdles is nothing new for quite pos­ sibly the fastest candidate to ever run for Student Government. did what we needed to win. The bench played great. It was a great team effort." Miami, which had a four-game winning streak snapped, was led by P.J. Brow n's 16 points. The Heat played without Mourning, who was out with a sore left ankle. "We really couldn't do anything effectively for any sustained period of time tonight," Miami coach Pat Riley said. "It was one of those nights where our shooters are just not making their shots. Our offense was abysmal tonight which left us with no answer to their big offensive runs. The Spurs received m ore bad new s in the first qu arter when D uncan's replacem ent in the start­ ing lin eu p , M alik R ose, werff down w ith a sprained right ankle. He m issed the rem ainder of the game. Baseball Continued from page 9 Garrido, whose team is now 14-3. "I think it was a good game for our team to win because they were able to see that they can get the job done by just having smart at-bats." And the Horns needed every at- bat to win this one. In the top of the second inning, Ontiveros tomahawked his third long ball of the season with a deep drive over the left field wall that probably landed some where in downtown Houston. The shot helped give Texas and starting pitcher Dax Leone an early 1-0 edge, but after that, the Long­ horn offense and defense took a short break, leaving their starting pitcher on his own. And those weren't ingredients for success. After allowing three runners to get on base via two hit batsmen and a walk, Leone yielded his first run of the night by surrendering a sacrifice fly to one-time Longhorn J.P. Woodward thanks in part to Ryan France not giv­ ing himself a chance to throw the run­ ner out. The left fielder played under the pop up, rather than running up on it and that mistake did not allow him to get enough momentum to make a throw at the plate. However it was the second out of the inning, so Leone only needed one more. Unfortunately, Hoops Continued from page 9 the company of other Longhorn leg­ ends such as Clarissa Davis and Annette Smith. However, Conradt isn't approach­ ing her team's final regular season game as a sentimental sendoff — and for good reason. Texas (18-10, 9- 6 Big 12) needs a win to secure fifth place in the Big 12 standings, which would give it the No. 5 seed in the Big 12 Tournament next week and a first-round contest against No. 12 Baylor. A loss coupled with a Nebraska win Thursday would place the Horns at No. 6, which would likely pair Texas with Texas A&M in the first round. Since Texas handily swept both teams earlier this season the difference may appear negligi­ ble, but the Horns would prefer the highest seed possible and some steam heading into the postseason. "You always want momentum at this time of year," Brown said. "And if [Iowa State] wifis, they win they'll probably win the Big 12, so we want to spoil them." Brown speaks the truth. A win would give the Cyclones (21-5, 12-3) the conference title, which wouldn't be a bad follow-up for a team that went all the way to the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament last March. Iowa State's stingy defense and multi-dimensional offense has kept them on its pace from last season, as the Cyclones sit first in field goal per­ centage defense (.389) and boast four of the conference's top 20 scorers. the opportunity However, a chance to thwart the Cyclones' hopes cham pionship (which would happen if they lost) may not get the Horns nearly as inspired as to avenge last season's fluke loss in Ames, where Texas lost 71-68. In the closing seconds of that contest, ISU forward Megan Taylor heaved a one-handed, no-look, 22-foot hook shot that banked off the glass to win the game. The freak shot left Texas devastat­ ed, especially since both Conradt and her players remember that game as one of the Horns' best perform­ ances of last year. "That shot was a prayer. We played so good there, and that's one of those things that you can't do anything said. "That's what happens when prepa­ ration m eets opportunity. That's what luck is. I don't even think she knew where the goal was. She just about," Brown Softball Continued from page 9 Houston was just getting started. Designated hitter Tyson Schweitzer came up with a single to score Jarrod Bitter, and Kris Wilken gave an encore performance by doing the same exact thing. Leone, who was actually making his first start since coming off of elbow surgery last summer, got out of inning by forcing Houston shortstop Aaron Meleback to line out to right, but the southpaw would find himself being hunted again by the Cougar offense again the very next inning. in five This time, Leone, who earned no decision innings on the mound, was able to retire the first two hitters, but the next three didn't go down so easily. Second basem an Brandon Car­ away stepped up to the plate and drilled a single as did Eric Lee to set the table for Jarrod Bitter. The UH catcher promptly cleared that table with a triple to make it a 5-1 ball game for the Cougars. "I thought we overreacted a little bit after th at," G arrido said. "I thought we were trying too hard, but we calmed down." And that is when the Horns answered. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Texas rallied to score five of their own to regain the lead at 6-5. Houston pitcher Greg Runser, who lasted 4 2 /3 innings, was his own worst enemy in the frame as he got chased for three hits in a row — one of which was an RBI-single to Tommy Nichol­ son — after giving up a walk. Runser then threw four balls to Ben Emond to give up another run, and Long­ horns Chris Houser and Matt Rosen­ berg drove in the last three runs with a single and double, respectively. But Tuesday was a night when no lead was insurmountable. The Cougars tied the game on a Kris Wilken solo shot to throw a left jab, and Ryan Hubele of Texas fittingly countered with a bomb of his own to make it 7-6. That lead lasted for all of five minute, as the Cougars knotted it again at 7-7 when Eric Lee singled in Shane Nance. It was simply a contest in which neither team could shake the other, sort of like a bout between two over­ pow ering heavyw eights trading shots that refuse to hit the canvas. But something had to give, and in the ninth, Houston (11-4) finally did. "These are the games you need to win so that you can use them as a les­ son three months from now," said Garrido, as his team now improves to 3-1 against Houston on the yeaj-- "And as good as Houston is, they could be the team we are facing then/' Edwina at the Erwin Center Wednesday night will be Edwina Brown's final game at the Frank Erwin Center, wrapping up a stellar career on the Longhorns' home court. It will be her 56th game on the Texas hardwood, and through the last four years the All-Am erican has accumulated a lot of memories. Here are a few of her favorites: First Gam e/Novem ber 26, 1996 Texas 97, No. 19 Florida 84 (OT) Brown W hat happened: In her debut at the Erwin Center, Brown scores 12 points and pulls down eight rebounds in an overtime win for Texas over the nationally-ranked Gators. Before an opening-night crowd of 6,079, the freshman's dozen against Florida would ultimately be her season-high that year. W hat Brown remembers: ''[Florida] w as a really good team. That w as so college bas­ ketball for me. W e hit a shot at the buzzer to send it into overtime. Angie Jo [Ogletree] shot it. She just threw it up and it went in."

Center Angie Jackson hit the game winning basket as time expired for the Horns, who stormed the court after the shot fell. Four years later Browh would liken the game to Texas' 81-77 win over then-No.6 North Carolina State earlier this season, when Texas rushed on to the floor after upsetting the Wolfpack. W hat Brown remembers: "It w as pretty close throughout the game, and Angie Jackson hit a shot at the buzzer to win it for us. Just those games that make you run out on the floor. You don’t care who's watching, like N.C. State.

W hile Texas did not win, Brown — who played all 50 minutes — will mostly be remembered in the loss for taking over the game in the clutch. Her dead-on jumpshots, fearless drives and unfazed night at the foul line (Brown finished 16-of-19 from the stripe) kept the Horns in at as long as she could. W hat Brown remembers: "That w a s something that every player wants to live up to, even though w e didn't win. Tying the game and giving us a chance to win, putting it into overtime, going to the line and putting everything behind you, thinking that these two free throws are ones you have to hit — all of that. That's something that everyone lives for. Even as a child, when you're on the playground and you're like, 'All right, this is for the win. Three ... two ... one ....' — compiled by Paul J. Weber, Daily Texan Staff threw it up. " Texas won't have the opportunity to extract payback on all of ISU play­ er's, however — which may not be a bad thing. Cyclones starting forward Desiree Francis, Iowa State's third- leading scorer, will sit-out Wednes­ day with a broken left hand that she suffered this past Saturday against Baylor. The loss of the 6-foot 1-incl senior will help shorten a tree-liki ISU team that starts three 6-footers. "W e're to the one-game season,' Conradt said. "Every game we pla\ now is a one-game.

In that toumey, the Bobcats swept three-game sets with both Illinois State and Dayton. The Horns swept a twinbill from those same Redbirds of Illinois State Thursday, the last time they saw action. Texas defeated the Birds in two one-run games, 2-1 and 1-0. That doubleheader brought the Longhorns back above the .500 mark, as their record now stands at 10-9-1. Texas' middle infield has gotten them off to a strong start offensively. At second base, freshman Lindsay Gard­ ner leads the team in most offensive categories, including average (.408), hits (29) and stolen bases (8-for-8). "Lindsay has come in as a fresh­ man and done a tremendous job as a leader," Clark said. "She can knock the ball out of the park, and she can also drop down a bunt for a single." Jodi Reeves are tied for the team lead in shortstop G ardner and RBIs with 14. Reeves' sacrifice fly in the eighth inning o f game one Thursday gave the Horns the win in extra innings. Elsewhere in the infield, at third base, Keely Franks has been living up to her position at the hot comer, because she has been on fire the past week. She enters Wednesday's game with a five- game hitting streak, which she started with a game-winning grand slam against South Florida two weeks ago. She has batted .500 through the streak. The pitching tandem of Charla Moore and Carmen Martinez has also led the Horns thus far in 2000. Moore leads the team in wins with her 7-4 record and sports a low 1.51 ERA. Martinez has struggled of late with soreness in her throwing shoulder but still boasts the team lead in strikeouts (47) and opposition's batting average (.198). "She feels good after having a cou­ ple days off," Clark said. "She was throwing hard today." But C lark mentioned M artinez hasn't pitched to any batters since her shutout win Thursday against Illinois State. Clark said she expects all the pitch­ ers to see some work Wednesday as the team prepares for a full weekend of tournament action in Columbus, Ga., at the NFCA Leadoff Classic. The Bobcats boast several strong hitters for Texas to face, including junior outfielder Stephanie Hughes, who leads the team in average at .360. Also, shortstop Elizabeth Wis- sel is batting .328 with a team-lead­ ing 19 hits and 14 RBIs. Southwest Texas' most impressive performance came early in the sea­ son when they beat then-No. 22 Illi- nois-Chicago.

"I d id n 't w ant to tell anybody about it because I d id n't w ant to risk som eon e telling m e I can 't play."

ASSOCIATED PRESS NASA to identify floating debris Associated Press CORPUS CHRISTI, — A NASA orbital debris specialist traveled to the Coastal Bend on Tuesday to identify a piece of what could be a French spacecraft that a beach­ comber hopes to make into a hot tub. Nicholas Johnson, manager for orbital debris at NASA, is trying to determine if the dome-shaped object is what it looks like — a nose cone from an Ariane 5 rocket booster. Johnson told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times he w ould prepare a report for NASA and the U.S. State Department. He was expected to have results by Wednesday after­ noon. The dome is inscribed with the nam e "Aerospatiale Matra," a French aerospace com pany that developed the Exocet anti-ship mis­ sile and the Ariane 5 commercial rocket. It was found on Mustang Island last week, but it then disappeared. Robert "Bobby" Sherwood, Nueces County Precinct 4 constable, called NASA on Sunday when he found out the object was at Barney Corey's Port Aransas home. Corey is a w ell-know n beach­ comber. "He scavenges things all the time. When I heard the thing was missing, I thought, ... I know who's got it," Sherwood said. Corey said he would cooperate with authorities and was interested in preserving the large dome-shaped object when he found it beached Thursday night. He said people had picked things off the object by the time he got to it. "It should be preserved for a his­ torical society. I couldn't leave it at the beach any longer," Corey said. "Because I'm a little bit trailer trash and a little bit pirate, I thought it'd be good recycling to make it into a hot tub. I even thought about mak­ ing it a fish pond," he said. Johnson said he hopes to use seri­ al numbers on the object to tell whether it is part of a French space- 44 He scavenges things all the time. When I heard the thing was miss­ ing, I thought,...

U.S. and French officials have been made aware of the object, and depending on policies set by United Nations conventions in the 1960s and lose his would-be hot tub if it is determined to be French property.
