H olland Young, planning and enviro n m en tal m anager for the City of Austin Aviation Department and a UT lecturer in the College of Engineering, said Austin has been seeking to build a new airport to replace Robert Mueller since 1975 as the city began outgrowing the old facility.

It was the first time SG ever gave out internal­ ly-raised funds to student groups, said SG Internal Financial Director Michael Stockton. Urn semester, SG will increase that funding to $10,000, thanks to a donation from the University Co-Op. The Co-Op has also pledged to give up to $10,000 to SG for appropriations next ytear.

George W. Bush and Texas Attorney General John Comyn announced their support Monday for more state control over the care of the disabled. The state officials signed a report known as the Olmstead. bnef, generating proteste Tuesday that led to the arrest erf nearly 20 reprerenfctives of disábled groups. Protesters said th e brief is unfair to those with disabilities. According to a report released by the disabled- nghts group ADAPT, the brief shows'*ffce intent erf the State to keep people with cKsabflltoi ware­ housed in musing homes and other n against their will." The Olmstead brief, which was originally signed by 2 2 other states, petitions the Suprem e Court to overturn a lower court's ruling erf a Georgia lawsuit. In the lawsuit, Olmstead vs. LC, plaintiffs challenged Georgia's placement o f patents in a state institution rather than a com­ munity-based treatment program. Citing the Americans with Disabilities Act, the U.S. C ourt of Appeals ruled that disabled patents have the right to live in "the most inte­ grated setting" possible. The court decided dis­ abled individuals — not the state — could choose the treatment facility. In a statement Monday, Comyn said the Court of Appeals incorrectly interpreted the ADA in the Oimstead case.

Union, another sourqp of student fund­ ing, only allocates .money to organiza­ tions for on-campus program m ing events, SG also prefers to give money to different causes. SG avoids allocating funds to politi­ cal organizations. Stockton said since last fall, the num­ ber of organizations requesting money dramatically increased from the previ­ ous year, largely due to SG's effort to advertise the bonding resource. In an effort to better publicize alloca­ tions, the SG appropriations committee sent a mass e-mail message to contacts from *11 registered student groups in "Last semester was kind of a test," Stockton said. "T h e response we received was overwhelming. We only had «10 percent of the requested funds to give." To better meet student needs, SG has organized an endowment fund that asks past SG leaders to give back to the campus and student organizations through appropriations. "At first we wanted to simply set up an alumni network with input from brains as much as pocket books," said Wes Carberry, SG external financial director. "We hope it will be a perma­ nent source of funding outside of stu­ dent fees." During appropriations SG gives out information packets detailing alterna­ tive ways for student groups to gain financial support. In the past SG voted on appropria­ tions in one m eeting, which didn't allow student organizations to speak before the assembly. SG is now working on a bill that would create a rolling decision process that would span over four meetings, where organization leaders would be able to describe their needs to the assembly. "T he p roced u re needs to be changed," said Jay Raman, SG repre­ sen tative. "It's an im portant w ay Student Government maíces a tangible effect on campus." Disabled Continued from page 1 "In its decision, the court misinterpreted the ADA to allow a federal court to deprive Texas of the right to make its own plans for treatment of disabled citizens," Comyn said. ® Gov. Bush agreed with Comyn s statements. "The state of Texas ought to be able to make our decision ^n how we handle our care, as opposed to these d ecisions being handled by a federal judge," Bush said Tuesday.

Senators „>lso view ed Monica Lewinsky's videotaped testimony and a few Republicans said they saw little rea­ son to summon her before die Senate. ''Based on what my staff told me, there is nothing new. If there in fact is nothing new, I would not expect her to be called," Sen. Robert Bennett, R- Utah, said. Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, a mem­ ber of the Republican leadership, echoed Bennett's comments. Asked whether there was anything to be gained in calling Ms. Lewinsky for live testimony based on what is in the videotape, he said: "Probably not." "The only thing I see to date that would be gained," he added, would be that the public would actually see Ms. Lewinsky's testimony rather than relying on a White House version of events. But Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who view ed the tape himself, said he believed it might be helpful to have Ms. Lewinsky testify from the Senate floor. "If s far better for the public to meet her and make up their own minds," he said. "Personally, I found her to be young, vulnerable and credible. I think she'd make a very effective wit­ ness." Other senators who watched the tape of Ms. Lewinsky's deposition in closed rooms of the Capitol included Republicans Susan Collins of Maine, R ichard Shelby of A labam a and Democrat Evan Bayh of Indiana. They were required to sign an oath promis­ ing not to describe the contents in public. Lead H ouse prosecutor H enry Hyde acknowledged today that Ms. Lewinsky's testimony delivered no "bom bshells," but he added that "confirming the accuracy and the reaf­ firmation of her previous statement under oath is something worthwhile." Jordan faced a deposition under oath in a room normally used by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Rep. Asa H utchinson, R-Ark., was the main questioner for the House. U.S. planes strike Iraqi anti-ship missile launchers in Gulf * i fM r*»* A sso cia ted Press WASHINGTON — Adding a new dimension to the U.S.-Iraq military confrontation, American warplanes on Tuesday attacked Iraqi anti-ship missile launchers newly deployed along the Persian Gulf. Pentagon offi­ cials said the Iraqi weapons had been moved to the area as a threat to ships in Kuwaiti coastal waters. This was the first time during a recent escalation of tensions with Iraq th at U.S. planes targ eted Iraqi w eapons designed to strike ships. The other, almost daily, U.S. attacks have been against anti-aircraft missile launchers and radars used to threaten U.S. and British planes patrolling Iraq's skies. Also on Tuesday, a senior U.S. defense official said Iraq in recent days moved a substantial number of surface-to-air missile launchers out of the northern and southern "no-fly" zones to central Iraq. The m ove appeared to signal a desire by Iraq to preserve its dw indling air defense forces, said the official, who d is­ cussed the matter on the condition that he not be further identified. The U.S. strikes in southern Iraq were among a half-dozen incidents Tuesday that U.S. officials said showed President Saddam Hussein remains determined to provoke the United States. Saddam has been chal­ lenging U.S. and British enforcement of no-fly zones over southern and northern Iraq, and Pentagon officials said they viewed the activation of anti-ship missiles as another form of Iraqi provocation. In northern Iraq, U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps aircraft fired on Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery emplace­ ments and an air defense radar. The U.S. European Command, responsi­ ble for U.S. forces flying over north­ ern Iraq, said the U.S. pilots respond­ ed in self-defense after encountering anti-aircraft artillery fire. There were five separate incidents in that area in the space of about one h o u r, the European Command reported. The U.S. planes returned safely to their base at Incirlik, Turkey. No details were available on dam­ age to the Iraqi air defense sites. The incident in the south marked a departure from the pattern of almost daily U.S. air attacks on Iraqi air defense forces — mainly surface-to- air missile batteries, radars and com­ m unications links. This time, two Navy F/A-18s and two F-14s flying from the USS Carl Vinson in the Per­ sian Gulf dropped precision-guided bombs on a battery of shore-to-ship missile launchers and an associated radar, officials said. One official said it appeared the bombs hit their targets, although he had no details. The anti-ship cruise missiles, desig­ nated the CSSC-3, are an older Russ­ ian-designed weapon with a range of about 60 miles. Anthony Cordesman, a professor of national security affairs at Georgetown U niversity and an expert on Iraqi weaponry, said the missiles posed a potential threat to oil tankers off Kuwait. The anti-ship m issile launchers were deployed in recent weeks on the al-Faw peninsula, which juts into the Gulf at the mouth of the Shatt al- Arab w aterw ay. U.S. N avy ships sometimes are in that area to enforce the U.N. economic embargo against Iraq, although they have means of defending against the CSSC-3. "What you are watching is a des­ perate effort on S addam 's part to achieve some kind of victory" in the aftermath of a mid-December series of U.S. and British bombings, Cordes­ man said. Shortly after that bombing cam­ paign, Saddam began more vigorous­ ly challenging enforcement of the no- fly zones in the north and south by targeting allied planes with radar and occasionally firing missiles at them.

A SS O C IA TED PRESS Anti-abortionists fined $107 million over ‘wanted posters,’ Web site A s so c ia te d Pro ss PORTLAND, Ore. — Abortion foes who created "wanted" posters and a Web site listing t\ie names and addresses of "baby butchers" were Ordered to pay $107 million in dam­ ages Tuesday by a federal jury that said foe tactics amounted to threats. * The plaintiffs, who included ¡Tanned Parenthood and several abor­ tion doctors and clinics, sued under a 1994 federal law that prohibits inciting violence against abortion doctors or their patients. "The jury saw the posters for what they are — a hit list for terrorists," said Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Par­ enthood. Unlike previous cases, this one did not involve any physical confronta­ tions or explicit threats. Because of that, the anti-abortion activists con­ tended the Internet site and the posters were protected by the First Amend­ ment. The jury took four days to reach its verdict, which consisted of $106.5 mil­ lion in punitive damages and $500,000 in compensatory damages. As part of the tight security surrounding the case, the judge said the names of the eight jurors wifi never be made public. The defendants, who included more than a dozen individuals and two anti­ abortion organizations, said they will appeal. And they said the other side will be hard-pressed to collect because they have transferred their assets to make themselves "judgment-proof." "This is a moral and constitutional outrage," said one of the defendants, Catherine Ramey. "There is no threat and they knew it We use picket signs — they use the courts." At issue was a Web site called "The Nuremberg Files" that lists hundreds of abortion doctors accused of commit­ ting "crimes against humanity" and invites readers to send in doctors' addresses, license plate numbers and the names of their children. When three doctors on the list were killed, their names were crossed off like items on a grocery list. Similar Wild W est-style posters were handed out at rallies and in abor­ tion doctors' neighborhoods, offering a $5,000 reward for information about a "Deadly Dozen" group of doctors. During the three-week trial, abor­ tion doctors on the list testified that they lived in constant fear; used dis­ guises, bodyguards and bulletproof vests; and instructed their children to crouch in the bathroom if they heard gunfire. The defendants maintained they were simply political protesters collect­ ing data on doctors in hopes of one day putting them on trial as Nazi war criminals were at Nuremberg. And they stressed that the materials con­ tained no direct threats. Afterward, some of the activists em phasized the verdict would not alter their tactics. The plaintiffs said their next step is to get an injunction shutting the Web site down. Legal experts said the verdict is on shaky ground because U.S. District Judge Robert E. Jones used a lesser standard than the Supreme Court, which said threats must be likely to cause "im m inent lawless action." Jones told the jury that the posters and Web site should be considered threats if they can be taken as such by a "rea­ sonable" person. VG UV 1 II do all tk e driving ' Plenty o+ ro o m .

Ever considered running for a mean­ ingful political office that will let you wield power and destroy your enemies? If so, you can prepare for a real election someday in your future by running for Student Government In fact it's not too late to throw your hat in the ring for this year's election; the filing deadline few candidates is Friday. However, since there's little time for preparation,, we've prepared Fie following "election starter kit" that will all but guarantee your vic­ tory March 3 :. Today: You need a ticket! Come up with a catchy, meaningless acronym, like CRACK or SCURVY, that will look sharp on your T-shirts. Use your cell phone to prank call all of your enemies and inform them of their impending destruction. Feb. 5: Filing deadline. No Student Assembly candidates for your ticket? No problem. Announce that you are running the Chupacabras for all assem­ bly seats. The phantom Mexican goat­ sucker will have a better chance of ever being seen by the student body than any other ticket's candidates. Feb. 8: While standing idly cm the West Mall, reveal your official platform to a small, horrified group erf isolated students: First, mandatory kidney Brian Winter COLUMNIST removal for all of your enemies (list pro­ vided upon request). Second, high-volt­ age turbo shock collars will be worn by all students and faculty. The collars will be wired into a mainframe computer, allowing you and you alone to adminis­ ter "punishment" at whim. Finally, round out your platform by dedaring your intention to pursue a new UT debit card for students. Feb. 9: Realize the worst-kept secret of all SG campaigns: Elections are won by securing block votes from large organi­ zations, not by taking a stand cm rele­ vant issues. Speak at five or six different fraternity houses, and appeal to their massive persecution complexes by repeating over and over, "I am not anti- Greek!" Also, continue to make inquiries regarding ultra-secret elite student orga­ nizations that might help your cam­ paign Feb.15: Ethical dilemma: Money used buying goats to feed your Student Assembly candidates has pushed you precariously dose to the spending limit imposed by the Election Supervisory Board. Solve the problem by simply not turning in the receipts. Smile.

T h e Da i l y T e x a n Editorial Board Editor Michael Mulcahy Associate Editors Sholnn Freeman, Spencer Prou, Amy Strahan VIEWPOINT Good job You can't please everyone. That said, the new "dorm lot­ tery" was a great success. Next year, 70 percent of on- campus housing will be filled with freshmen; the other 30 percent will be divided between returning residents and transfer students. While there are plenty of upperclassmen upset about being forced to find housing elsewhere, it's of little consequence compared to the potential benefits. On-campus living can be vital in a first-year student's development. Studies show that students whp live in dorms their first year have, on average, higher GPAs, higher retention rates and are more likely to participate in extracurricular activities. Dorm life provides a living environment more con­ ducive to learning, without the distractions of utility bills, cooking three meals a day and the hassle of parking or riding a bus. The benefit of dormitories must be maxi­ mized, and giving freshmen a good start to their college years is the best possible use of our limited resources. With the number of beds on campus hovering at 5,000 and an entering freshman class of usually more than 6,600, it's vital that as many spaces as possible are avail­ able to the newcomers. The 70-30 percent distribution might even be too generous. While the luxuries of UT housing are numerous, there are also plenty of benefits for students getting out of the dorms. There's more space, less noise and even a chance to take on new responsibilities that help students prepare for postgraduation life. The unfortunate upperclassmen who didn't get a room for next year shouldn't panic. It's not too late to find a good apartment in Austin. "They can definitely find something," said Sunday Garza, an office manager with Apartment Finders Service (322-9556). She added that many apartment complexes have yet to even start pre-leasing for the fall. This is a short-term solution for the immediate problem of dorm availability. The UT Master Plan provides for a number of new dorms in the distant future. Until then, "freshmen first" is a good philosophy.

All sins equal This letter is in response to the article on Monday entitled, "A Biblical Lesson." The statement was made that homosexuality is not condemned in the Bible. The main arguments were that the concept of homosexuality was not known back then, and that the word "homosexuality" is a mis­ translation. First, our generation was not the first to "invent" homosexuali­ ty. The concept was definitely Known and practiced, recorded many places besides the Bible. Genesis 19:5 records men in the city of Sodom coming to Lot's house, asking to have sex with his FIRING LINE Show respect AR0C While reading Jemima Pierre's letter (Firing Line, Tuesday), it struck me that perhaps AROC would find more support with the students at the University if they were willing, as the administra­ tion has been, to at least pretend to listen to the opinions of people who disagree with their values. After all, it would seem that one of the most valuable reasons to fight for diversity is respect, and the most im portant aspect of respect is allowing another person to form their own opinion. That right is (or was) the cornerstone of our society, slowly eroding away in today's politically correct climate. Nothing smacks of discrimina­ tion more than the censorship of ideas simply on the basis of intol­ erance of that idea. If one wishes to call him self a supporter of equality, one must practice equal­ ity in everything they do. If one is to call M arc Duchen's column propaganda, then that label must equally be applied to Carl Villar­ real's work. If one is disgusted by the administration's alleged lack of sincerity at the town hall meet­ ings, then one must be equally disgusted over AROC's repeated lack of manners at those same meetings. Perhaps Pierre is cor­ rect in saying that many students support affirmative action at the University; perhaps she is not. I honestly have not formed an opinion on this matter. The only thing I am sure of is this: until all parties concerned grow up and stop acting like children, I'm not listening. Dan Hamilton History sophomora Dead horse Why is it that every time I open up The Texan to read the editorial [page] I always see Carl Villarreal ranting about affirmative action? Carl, you've been in school a while now — surely you can come up with another topic. Please stop beating this dead horse. Brett Wintermeyer UT staff Use the sink Any nurse or health care profes­ sional would agree that it is an absolute necessity that one's hands be washed after exiting the restroom; however, over the course of my years at UT, I find it appalling that people will exit the stall and not even look at the sink. These are some of the same peo­ ple who serve food at restaurants. I had the privilege of working with someone at a certain restau­ rant who was so apathetic about hygiene, that he was stupid enough to be in the restroom with the customers, attend to business, and then walk straight out. What is that? Needless to say, a cus­ tomer reported him. v Microbiologists know that those tiny microorganisms are every­ where, and that the restroom has its own set of them. Why does one suppose doctors are screaming for us to frequently wash our hands. And what about strep A? Hand washing was a huge prevention measure there. So, ladies and gen­ tlemen, practice good hygiene; please, when you exit that stall, say to yourself, "Am I forgetting something? Oh yeah, there's a sink in here, and it's not there for decoration. I think I'll use it." Be healthy. Be safe. Brittany Williams Spanish and government senior is This Kaap daath penalty in response to last Thursday's [column] about HB 151 regarding life in prison. While all your preaching, Greg, was very humane and sincere, it is obvious that you have not researched your topic. Have you interviewed any TDC prison guards? I didn't think so. Many prison guards do not like the idea of life imprisonment. This does not encourage the prisoner to cooperate with the authorities. Guards use the chance of parole as a tool to encourage good behavior in the prisons. A crimi­ nal with no hope of ever being released from prison is not very likely to care about his behavior. While I am not a huge fan of the death penalty, you state, "those who commit capital crimes in this state are much more likely to wind up on death row than any­ where else in the world." Tms statement, while probably true, is meaningless. All this sentence says is mat you shouldn't commit a capital crime. The death penalty is meant as a deterrent to crime, not as a way to be "inhumane" to the citizens of Texas. I have some advice to everyone contemplating committing a capital crime in Texas. Don't! It is as simple as that. People do make mistakes, how­ ever, the majority of death row inmates have a track record of mistakes a mile long. Those that do not, have been convicted of such horrendous crimes that the court encourages the maximum sentence possible. I do agree with the idea that death row inmates cost the state too much money. There should be a limit to the number of times an inmate may appeal. Karla Fae Tucker was on death row for 14 years. The amount of taxpayers' dollars she alone cost was proba­ bly ridiculous. However, Texas has one of the best departments of criminal justice in the nation. I personally feel safer knowing that people who commit capital crimes will be punished. Kelly Windlingar Petroleum engineering freshman Forgiveness is divine I sat in on one of the Baptist ser­ mons given by a former homosex­ ual, who was happy to have a dif­ ferent life now. It was certainly a powerful and positive message. On the issue of the numerous Bible texts that condemn gay sex, I>11 briefly mention one. Corinthi­ ans 6:9,10: "Do not be led astray; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves ... shall inherit the kingdom of God." or remiss) themselves In his book, Homosexuality: A Biblical View, Greg Bahnsen explains that homosexuality was common in ancient culture, and Paul was specific in this Corinthi­ ans text: malakoi (soft, gentle, and yielding, arsenokoitai (male, bed, tranlit: coitus), the former refers to those who allow to be homosexually misused (passive), and the latter refers to men who have intercourse with men (active). Next, Paul includes adul­ terers, fornicators, and thieves in the same boat. Whether you choose to believe the Bible or not is your business, but if you do believe, realize that no one is per­ fect, gay or straight. Jesus can for­ give sins, wheijjer sexual or not. Ralf Lukner Graduate student in£hemical engineering Savu your soul I usually don't write back when someone nas a gay rights letter in the paper, but the one by Scott Miller in Monday's Texan couldn't go untouched. His letter is full of false information to lead people into believing his rhetoric. How can he say tnat the Bible never condemns homosexuality? Sure it does not say, "Thou shalt not have sex with the same sex," but it does condemn it. In Romans 1:26-27, it says, "For this reason God gave them up to their vile passions. For even women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Like­ wise also the men, leaving the nat­ ural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in them­ selves the penalty of their error which was due." In all cases the Greek word for men and women is males and females, respectfully. That is what sets them apart from one another. If Mr. Miller wants to argue about how the transla­ tions are mistranslated, well, "m en with men" literally "m ales IN m ales." How mucn more graphic explanation do you need? is Miller also goes on to say that the "Bible was never intended to be a weapon." Excuse me! That is one of the fundamental beliefs of Christianity. In Ehpisians the 6th chapter, the apostle Paul is telling them how to fight and "withstand in the evil day." He says to put on the whole armor of God, with the last item being "the sword of the spirit which is the word of God." (Eph 6:17ff) Hello? That is the Bible the last time I checked. The Bible is the only weapon listed, everything else is to protect your­ self from Satan. The idea that it is dangerous and unethical to try to change a gay person into a straight one is also absurd. Jesus himself said in his sermon on the mount, "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell." (Matt. 5:29) It is better for you to suffer the depression and other things than to lose your soul. Jeff Gary Mechanical engineering junior •male guests. Second, Romans 1:27 says, "In the same way the men also aban­ doned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men com­ mitted indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves 'the due penalty for their perver­ sion." This is not a mistranslation -of the single word, "homosexual­ ity ". God definitely condemns -homosexual actions: Leviticus >18:22, "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman. That is detestable." - Some other references are: Exodus 22:19, Deuteronomy •23:17,1 Corinthians 6:9. All this being said, 1 still agree with Scott that the Bible was not meant to be a weapon. God does condemn homosexual actions, but He still loves the people who practice those actions. The Southern Baptists have misguid- targeted homosexuality ,edly recently, because all sins are equal in the eyes of God. If I tell ja lie to a friend or cheat on an exam, those sins are just as "detestable" to God. Romans 3:23 says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." So, I admit to believing that homosexuality is a sin. But, Romans 5:8 says that "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." So no matter what our sins are or have been, God offers forgive­ ness and eternal life. That is the message in the Bible, no matter how it is translated. Sarah L. Castleberry Civil engineering senior Zafar joins the fray Most of us abhor acts of dis­ crimination or violence, but we also place a high value on dis­ Firing cretion (Scott Miller, Line, Monday). The individual's right of choice is a fundamental value and a necessary condition for each person to be account­ able to God for h is/h er own actions. God's guidance secures the balance between the individ­ ual's and societal rights. No one has a right to spy into the pri­ vate lives and affairs of others. Even when these private affairs should incidentally be known, the admonition is to keep them private those and protect involved. H&Wever, when one openly declares one's sexual orientation — a private matter— and then demands special consideration because of it, we find this an affront to society's well being. There are already safeguards and protections under existing laws against discrimination, which includes heterosexuals and homosexuals. To demand further special rights and con­ sideration based on how or who we have sex with, and claim it to be a civil rights issue, is point­ less. To compare with and demand special protection |s those who have been persecuted /or their national origin, race\ color, or creed is baseless and * has no historical or social justifi­ cation. We will then have to accede similar special demands ¡for protection and single out groups varying from those who •want to have heterosexual rela­ tions to those who are, say, left jhanded, when they are already protected under existing laws. , All of us are committed to upholding the family unit and its values, and protection of it as ¡a durable and socially viable nucleus of any society. There is, however, a continual struggle ¡and effort to maintain the bal­ ance between an individual's right and society's well being. Here we must place a higher value on the society's well being ¡than an individual's right to Actively promote counter values that will ultimately damage the ¡society at large. We therefore have a right to resist and ensure the protection of our values ¡against such an onslaught. This Resistance should never be an ¡aggression against any individ­ ual or group, but a Arm and principled stand against the counter values being promoted. At the same time we would be promoting our healthy values in « kinder and gentler fashion ¡with conviction. Indeed, we have a duty to ourselves and to God to promote Divine wisdom and values that will advance humanity as we enter the so- called third millennium. ¡ Zafar S.

UT officials said the the increase has b ee n r o u t in e for n e a r ly a decade, which may explain the low attendance. The Legislature initiat­ ed the yearly increase in the early 1990s. T u itio n w as in c r e a s e d $2 per s e m e s te r-c re d it h o u r for u n d e r ­ g ra d u a te s and $4 per se m e ste r- credit hour for graduate students. The new fee of $38 for undergradu­ ate and $40 for graduate students will go into effect this fall. P resid en t L arry Fau lk n er said while high education costs are a concern, the money is necessary to ensure an outstanding institution. "T h e first responsibility of the legislature is to protect the quality of this institution — it is important to the students and the people of Texas," Faulkner said. UT officials said the hearing is re q u ire d by law to let s t u d e n ts know what the tuition money is used for and gives them an oppor­ tunity to voice their opinions and concerns. "The purpose of the public hear­ ing is to let students know what the tuition is and the fact that it's a leg­ islative increase so they have some idea where the money is going," said Sheldon Ekland-Olson, execu­ tive vice president and provost. A majority of the legislative appropriations go to staff and fac­ ulty salary increases, while the remaining amount is used for grad-, uate schools, libraries and Texas', Public Education Grants. The amount that each group receives will be decided in the next budget. Certain parts of the Univer­ sity which are in need of funds — such as athletics and the Texas Union — cannot receive money under these appropriations. The event was sponsored by Ekland-Olson, G. Charles Franklin^ vice president for business affairs,, and Teresa Sullivan, vice president and dean of graduate studies. ESB meeting marks, beginning of student campaign season Cecily Sailer Daily Texan Staff It's that time again. With Tuesday marking the first day of filing for Student G overn­ ment candidacy, the Election Super­ visory Board has its work cut out. The ESB supervises the the cam­ paigns and elections of candidates running for the Texas Union Board, the U n iv e r s ity C o -O p Board of Directors and The Daily Texan edi­ tor. At the m e etin g , the eig h t ESB members said they'd like to set a standard for the way future elec­ tions are run and change students' perceptions of elections and SG. "The legitimacy of the elections says a lot for the legitimacy of Stu­ dent Government," said ESB mem­ ber Colby Black. ESB members also discussed the need to better supervise and equal­ ize candidate and campaign-ticket spending. "We've got to find better ways to prevent a ticket from spending over the limit," said ESB chairman Jon Saikin. M em be rs will be w o rkin g this week to better define vague clauses by outlining exactly what co nsti­ tutes a violation of the election code and what should be the appropriate disciplinary response. Punishments that board members are exploring for improper actions include fines, com m unity service and restricting campaigning to cer­ tain days. The board will also develop a set procedure candidates must follow to file complaints on election-code violations, as well a standard way for the board to review them before elections begin. Looking for ways to advertise the election and increase voter turn-out on cam pus is also another board consideration. port r e m o v e d ," said U n iv e rsity Police Director Bob Wiatt.

Gov. G eorge W. Bush and a group of state legislators T u esd a y an n ou n ced an em erg en cy proposal which gives tax breaks to oil producers suffering from record-low oil prices. The legislation would suspend the Texas severance tax on oil for w ells producing fewer than 15 barrels a day when the price of oil falls below $15 a barrel. The severance tax charges oil producers for the am ount of oil they pump. The av erag e oil p ric e d u rin g the month of December wa§ $8.60 per bar­ rel, m ore than 50 percent lower than the a v era g e p rice d u rin g the last decade. Bush said cutting the severance tax would save small oil producers about $45 m illio n d o lla rs in the n ext six months. "S ta te gov ern m en t can 't help the price of oil," he said. "But we can help on the cost side." Oil producers asked state lawmakers for help this January, saying a world­ wide glut of oil has led to falling prices and petroleum-industry layoffs. "There have been layoffs in my dis­ trict," said Rep. Tom Craddick, R-Mid- land. "And we've been looking at this emergency legislation for about three weeks now." Craddick said this legislation would help sm all Texas com m unities which are dependent on oil for their success. "W e're trying to keep the marginal wells going and functioning now / said. he Though the em ergency b ill would n ot a ffe c t la rg er o il co m p a n ie s, it would still benefit about 80 percent of the wells in the state, Bush said. "T h is is affecting a lot of people's lives in a very serious w ay," he said. "People are hurting." Bush said he expects the legislation to reach his desk and go into effect within the next two weeks. The emer­ la s t u n til g en cy b ill w ould o n ly August, but it could be extended if oil industry problems persist. "This cost-relief is important to help w ea th er the s to rm ," he sa id . "W e should be mindful, of the fact that the dom inant energy b u sin ess is getting hurt here."

ASSOCIATED PRESS Need for funds could lead to stiffer open-container law Danielle Cooper I)aily Texan Staff Despite past setbacks, Texas legisla­ tors feel they have a better chance of passing a stiffer open-container law this legislative session. Rep. Fred Hill, R-Richardson, and Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, have proposed bills to allow police offi­ cers to issue citations if they see an open container of alcohol in a vehicle. Under Texas law, a polk» officer must actually witness a driver consuming an alcoholic beverage in order to issue a citation. Although similar legislation has passed the House four times in the past, the bill has been killed in confer­ ence committee, when members of each house meet in closed session to reconcile legislation, Hill said. Hill said he thinks the measure has a better chance to become law this ses­ sion because the state will lose federal highway money if it does not establish open-container legislation. According to a federal mandate issued last year, Texas and other states without an open-container restriction will lose 5 percent of their federal high­ way funds in 2002 and 10 percent each additional year. Those funds would be diverted from highway construction to highway-safe- ty programs. Nelson said in a statement that Texas badly needs that money for highway construction. "If we do not pass these measures, Texas will lose millions of transporta­ tion dollars," Nelson said. "And trans­ portation dollars are so scarce that Texas cannot afford to lose one penny of road money ." If tí\e bills are passed, possessing an open alcoholic beverage anywhere in die passenger area of a car could result in a Class C misdemeanor, a charge similar to a speeding ticket. The law would apply to the driver or die occu­ pant of a car parked in a public area. Hill said He hopes his proposal will enable die police to stop more drivers from drinking in their vehicles, adding that fewer than 500 tickets were admin­ istered last year to drivers caught drinking in their cars. "We're trying to give police officers another tool to stop drunk drivers," Hill said. Tom Vinger, a spokesman for the DPS, said people often stop consum­ ing alcohol once they spot a police officer, which makes it hard for them to enforce the drinking-and-driving law. Hill said 1,758 Texans were killed in alcohol-related accidents last year. In more than half of those accidents, police found an open container of alcohol in the vehicle. "I feel like everytime we leave the legislative session without passing this bill, people will die as a result," Hill said. Nelson said she hopes die proposed legislation would cut down cm repeat DWI offenders. "Too many DWI convictions are repeat offenders, and I believe this measure will send a strong message that we do not take this crime lightly in Texas," Nelson said. Remediation, not social promotion, will help students, Bush says Ashley Kosiewicz Daily Texan Staff 1 Gov. George W. Bush proposed edu­ cational legislation last week that would end automatic social promotion in schools and provide intensive read­ ing instruction to underachieving stu­ dents. Filed by Sea Teel Bivins, R-Amaril- lo, the new legislation would help young students with reading problems get extra help. Of the 42,000 Texas students who failed tine TAAS reading test in 1997, 38,000 were promoted to fourth grade with no remedial intervention. 'Today in Texas, most students who fail the TAAS test don't get extra help, they just get moved on — often to fall further and further behind," Bush said. "This plan stops that failed practice and says every child who fails the reading test will get help immediate- The plan would be phased in begin­ ning with kindergarten students this fall. If those students fail the test in third grade, they would receive inten­ sive reading instruction such as after­ school programs and tutorials. Students will have the opportunity to take the test twice more after reme­ dial instruction. If students continue to fail the test, they must repeat the grade unless a committee composed of par­ ents, teachers and a principal decides otherwise. Andrea Word, a third-grade teacher at Cypress Elementary in Leander, said the legislation can improve students' self-esteem. "Social promotion is not appropri­ ate. If [students] get to fifth, sixth, sev­ enth grade and they can't read, they do feel poorly of themselves." Lynda Home, principal of Austin's Cunningham Elementary School said legislators may need to consider anoth­ er way of assessing a student's reading ability. "[TAAS] is a specific test, with no alternative of another way of assess­ ing" Home said. Thanks to JCPenney Company, Inc. for this ad!

"There's virtually nothing at the new airport like the old airport," Young said. Bergstrom has two airline runways, 25 gates and direct state highway access from Highway 71, compared with M ueller's single runway, 16 gates and placement on a dty street. Furthermore, Austin- Bergstrom has twice the parking and seven times the air cargo area of Robert Mueller. Young added that Austin- Bergstrom is flexible to future changes. "Bergstrom has the capability to grow w hen needed," he said. "Mueller is completely constrained and landlocked, unable to expand." Young said the last estim ated price for expanding Robert Mueller was the 1986 figure of more than a billion dollars. W hen considering cost alone, Young said enlarging Robert Mueller was not feasible, adding that there are also human interests involved in purchasing neighborhoods. Will passengers see mprorements? Kate McGlynn, a corporate com­ munications sophomore, said she hopes there will be more direct flights at the new airport because she typi­ cally has to transfer planes in Dallas to reach her final destination. "It will make it a lot easier so I can get home faster," McGlynn said. Young said there will be more flights, but not because of the new airport. "It is really a function of the num­ ber of passengers you have — you can build an airport of dreams, but that won't necessarily mean that the passengers will come," Young said. More than 6 million passengers passed through Robert Mueller in 19%, three percent more than in 1997. He added that all the same air­ lines at Robert Mueller will serve Austin-Bergstrom. How much does it cost? Building Austin's new "airport of dreams" took money — lots of it. Bill Campbell, chief financial offi­ cer for the City of Austin Aviation Department, said the airport gar­ nered funds for the $585 million budget from a combination of rev­ enue bonds, a $3-per-ticket Passen­ ger Facility Charge, revenues from Robert Mueller and federal grants. Campbell said airport construc­ tion has remained within budget. However, the total cost of the air­ port will be $675 m illion due to interest on bonds, he added. Why Southeast Austin? Officials involved in airport plan­ ning noted that the ultimate location was determined by the timely clos­ ing of the Bergstrom Air Force Base in 1990. John Hurt, a public affairs officer for the Texas Department of Trans­ portation, pointed out that the new airport was once going be built near the M anor community — located off U.S. Highway 290 east of Austin — which would have required construc­ tion of a new highway to reach it. But H u rt said the location by Highway 71 and the facilities at the form er air force base m ade the Bergstrom site more attractive. "Bergstrom was a big and active air force base that already had improve­ ments made for it," Hurt said. The development of the new air­ port was not without setbacks. Young said environmental con­ cerns with die site of the Bergstrom Air Force Base included hazardous waste and noise. Young said the Air Force had to dean up 481 hazardous waste sites on the property, adding that the Austin Aviation Department contin­ ues to explore noise concerns. He said the airport will generate slightly more traffic than the 26,000 vehides that previously commuted to and from die Bergstrom base daily.

How will students get there? Roberto Gonzalez, a planner for Capital Metro, said public transporta­ tion will be available from the UT campus area to Austin-Bergstrom. "There are a couple of different things out there but nothing is defi­ nite at this time," Gonzalez said. Gonzalez said funding is avail­ able for adding routes to the new airport, but Capital Metro offidals have not yet dedded how much to expand the service. He added that planning should begin within the next few months — once Austin- Bergstrom offidals can better esti­ mate how many employees will commute to the airport. Private shuttle providers may also become available to Austin- Bergstrom patrons, Young said, adding that Austin-Bergstrom offi­ dals have notified private compa­ nies that the airport is requesting a shared-ride shuttle service. Young said this type of shuttle is typically cheaper than a taxi and would be able to pick people up and drop them off at their homes. Michael Aulick, director for Austin Transportation Study, a fed­ eral Metropolitan Planning Organi­ zation which coordinates regional transportation planning with the rest of the state, said one of the legs of a proposed light rail line for Graphic by Randy Kraman/OAILY TEXAN STAFF Austin will access the airport. Aulick described the light rail as a "modem trolley," adding that it is not as expensive to construct as a subway. Light rail systems have been built in the last 20 years in San Diego, San Jose, Portland, St. Louis and Dallas. But Aulick said construction of the proposed 54 miles of light rail will not take place for at least 10 to 20 years. "ITs in the long-range plan but it needs to be approved for funding," Aulick said. Aulick said nearby freeways will allow better access to A ustin- Bergstrom than what is available at that Robert M ueller, ad ding increased traffic is not a major issue. "We're concerned about it, but ifs not like it's a meltdown situation," Aulick said. But Aulick said ATS is currently seeking federal funds to widen parts of U.S. 183 east of Interstate 35 down to Austin-Bergstrom because airport officials expect 60 percent of airport patrons to use tire road. ATS officials hope this and other projects will aid in easing the traffic. Hurt said the Texas Transporta­ tion Commission approved funding earlier than anticipated for construc­ tion on an 1-35 and Ben White inter­ change project, so construction is now scheduled to begin this Decem­ ber rather than in 2002. Hurt said the added congestion that may accompany the opening of Austin-Bergstrom is not a major concern because the area is already equipped for airport traffic.

The concession area, along with many of the restrooms will he decorated with the work of local artists. "We d o n 't really anticipate a problem when the airport opens because of improvements made for Bergstrom Air Force Base years ago," Hurt said. "We felt the design capacity on the existing roadways will handle the traffic." Hurt said a number of routes — primarily Highway 71 and U.S. 183 — w ill provide easy access to A ustin-B ergstrom , w hereas at Robert Mueller all vehicles must use dty streets. From the .area servicing UT students, First Street, Seventh Street and Riverside Drive will also direct traffic to the ap p ro p riate major roadways to the airport. How long does it take to timtiti^tiv titin t t i v w w iw > v get there? However, students will have to allow more time to reach Austin- Bergstrom, which airport offidals estimate is about 10 minutes further from campus than the old airport. "You have to bear in mind that the proximity to the airport is going to change — Robert Mueller is probably the most convenient location," Hurt said. "You're going to have to allow extra time simply because erf the fact that Bergstrom airport is farther out." Sarah Gulley, a psychology fresh­ man, said she likes the convenience of the old airport. "I'm not very excited about the thought of the new airport because it is farther away and it's going to be a bigger hassle," Gulley said. But Jeff Novak, a biology senior, said if the larger airport is necessary, then the location is not so important. "Convenience really shouldn't be a factor if it's the necessary trans­ portation that the dty needs," Novak said. "If the dty didn't need a new airport, then we wouldn't have it." Young estim ated drive time to Austin-Bergstrom from campus at about 15 minutes. But he said the new airport is only about a five-minute drive from many apartment complexes located on Riverside Chive. "It will be very convenient for the students that live there," Young said. Don M cCurdy, executive vice president and general manager for Yellow Checker Cab Company, esti­ m ated the cab fare from the UT campus area to Austin-Bergstrom at about $17-$10 more than the current price to Robert Mueller. Carlos Velasquez, m anager for Roy's Taxi, offered a comparable pro­ jected price of $20 to the new airport, instead of the $8 charge from the UT campus area to Robert Mueller. John Alm ond, director for the New Airport Project Team for the City of A ustin A viation Depart-; ment, said parking fees will be simi­ I lar to ones at the old airport. Ground transportation will be or$ the lower level of the terminal, which is also for baggage claim, shuttle ser-I vice, hotel vans and passenger pick; up while the upper level wfll be fop ticketing, Capital M etro service^ * check-in and passenger drop-off. Almond said developm ent has already begun with hotel construc­ tion in the area surrounding Austin; - Bergstrom. As for Robert Mueller, Almond said the fate of the land has yet to be determined. "There is not a definite plan o£ who's going to do what," Almond said. "It kind of goes into a caretak­ er mode for a while until the city' can develop it into something com-' patible for the neighborhood." W M i l % atfan May 1?

About the only thing he hadn't done is win a season opener as Longhorn skipper. Until Tuesday. Garrido finally picked up his first opening-day victory by defeating the team that handed him his initial loss at Texas, as the Horns topped UT- Arlington, 5-2, at Disch-Falk Field. Early on, it looked like Garrido would have no trouble exercising his operting-gajne demons. Senior catcher Jason Cox led off the Long­ horn half of the first inning belting a triple off the left field wall. Tommy Nicholson then drove Cox home with a sacrifice fly to center; putting the Horns up NO. From there the game got more defensive than Johny Cochran at confession. The two teams com­ bined for a meager 11 hits on the night, and the struggles at the plate could be do in large part to the use of new, less powerful aluminum bats that the NCAA hopes will keep out-of-control-offenses in check. "The bats kept some of the light­ ning out of some of the balls that were hit," Garrido said. "The bat did play a role," he added. "I think the modification is a healthy one, and I think it brings the game back into a truer perspective." It wasn't solely the change in equip­ ment that kept the offenses from exploding. Bom dubs received strong efforts from their pitching staffs. Junior college transfer Dax Leone was solid in first start as a Horn, holding the Mavericks to two runs off of three hits in four innings of work. The Texas bullperwwas even more impressive, as Scott Dunn and Phil Seibel combined to blank UTA over the game's final five innings. The dominance of the Texas reliev­ ers, and espedally the the two innings of shutout ball by Seibel at closer, was a welcome sign for a Longhorn team that at times fell apart in the final innings of the 1998 season. "Phil came to me not long ago requesting the ball in those situa­ tions, wanting to be the closer, want­ ing to be the guy when the game is on the line" Garrido said. "I think he was very effective and did very well today." Texas was finally able to break out of its offensive doldrums and put UTA away in the eighth inning. BASEBALL/Page 10 Excitement builds with signing day Associated Press DALLAS — These are heady days for college football coaches in Texas. Not only have they slowed a decade-long exodus of the state's top high school players, but they're also reeling in some of the best recruits from other states. That combination should make Longhorns coach Mack Brown and Aggies coach R.C. Slocum two of the happiest men country in Wednesday when freshmen-to-be make their college choices official. the Based on non-binding oral com­ mitments, most national recruiting services rank the incoming classes for Texas and Texas A&M among the best in the country with the Long­ horns topping the majority of lists. National champion Tennessee, Miami and perennial powers Ohio State, Florida State and Notre Dame also are expected to do very well. "Right now we have Texas No. 1 in the U.S. and Texas A&M No. 6," said Allen Wallace of Laguna Beach, Calif.-based SuperPrep magazine. "Mack Brown has clearly made a statement. He's awakening a sleep­ ing giant. "I think R.C. Slocum saw this as a serious challenge and he stepped it up. He appropriately reacted to a change in circumstances with his major rival and they shouldn't be underestimated." Tom Lemming of Chicago-based Prep Football Report has the Long­ horns first and the Aggies fifth or sixth. "Those two schools dominated the conference," Lemming said. "There's not even a close third in the Big 12." Bobby Burton of the National Recruiting Advisor said he ranks Texas first and A&M among the top five.

"It's kind of a reminder when you're jogging behind your team­ mate, you read that on their shirt and that reminds us that what we want is to get further this year." But for softball coaches who don't play their home games at Red and Char line McCombs' Field, it has to be puzzling as to what more Clark could possibly want. As a legitimate national champi­ onship contender, Texas enjoys a favorable preseason ranking of No. 7, returns its top pitcher and one of the best players in the nation in junior Christa Williams, and has such depth on offense that Clark said she feels she has a player for any given circumstance, adding that using as many as 14 players in a game could be routine.

The goal — since last week's loss to Kansas took Texas out of legitimate striking distance for the Big 12 title — is to hang on to fourth place in the league and the accom­ panying bye in next month's conference tournament. Texas (11-8 overall, 5-4 Big 12) currently has a tenuous hold of that slot in the league standings, but must play four of its remain­ ing seven games on the road and still has two dates with No. 10 Texas Tech left on the agenda. Colorado and Nebraska loom half a game behind the Horns with decidedly more favorable schedules, ready to claim a top-four spot and a tournament bye for themselves. There is little margin for error. For that reason, even W ednesday's rematch with Oklahoma (8-10, 2-6), a bottom-feeding team that Texas beat by eight points in Austin 11 days ago, is a potential landmine.

And yes, the guard play has improved as w ell with pointman Ivan Wagner adapting to his newfound role at the helm- of first-year coach Rick Barnes' now well-oiled machine, but that isn't quite it either. No, arguably the biggest transformation this season has occurred in the place that peo­ ple have expected success all along — under the bucket. T E X A S M E N ' S B A S K E T B A L L TEXAS A& M @ TEXAS none other than seven-footer Chris Mihm, whose improved work in the paint has drawn the attention — and praise — of both oppo­ nents and fans alike. The sophomore center, who was criticized early in the season for being too soft, has qui­ etly established himself as a dominant player, averaging 14.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in conference play. Mihm was recently rewarded for his outstanding performance by being named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week. ' "I really wanted to improve for the confer­ ence games," Mihm said. "I knew I wasn't playing up to my potential. But coach has always told me that what you bring to practice is what you bring to the games, so I've been trying really hard in practice. Fortunately it seems to have paid off." It's hard to find much fault with any part of Mihm's game as of late — save his 7-15 per­ formance from the free throw line against Oklahoma last week. Texas' star center has recorded six-straight double-doubles, and eight in his last 10 games, a streak that has not surprisingly paralleled the Horns' newfound success.

"We should definitely be in the World Series and make a serious bid for the title." For Longhorn fans suffering Ricky withdrawal, another athlete named Williams will be the pivotal player for Texas, and could chalk up stats almost as incredible. Following a 28-6 season in which she racked up 346 strikeouts and fin­ ished with an ERA of 0.46, Christa Williams will carry her team as far as her 70 mph fastball can take them. The first team All-American, who pitched more innings last season than the rest of the Texas bullpen combined, will carry the load again for Texas as the Horns cut two pitch­ ing spots on their roster from last season. The Longhorns' right-handed ace should also be physically stronger, as Williams committed herself to the weight room and conditioning dur­ ing the off-season. The added mus­ cle for Williams should increase the speed of her pitches, helping her strengthen what is already the hard­ est fastball in the country. "Her velocity is so good and she mixes speeds very well," Clark said. "She'll throw a wicked change-up just when you're geared up for her fastball, which throws you com­ pletely off balance."

Horns to open season at St. Ed’s Carrey BoH/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Mario Zavala Daily Texan Staff T E X A S S O F T B A L L When the first pitch is thrown Wednesday afternoon at Diane Daniels Field, the Texas softball team will no longer be the surprise darlings of the college softball world. Gone are the days when the Long­ horns could sneak up on unsuspect­ ing teams and pull out a win while not being taken too seriously. Texas established an NCAA record by the Women's College reaching World Series in only its second var­ sity season last year and those results have impressive raised expectations even higher this sea­ son. “Last season's results have put us in different shoes. We've gone from being the chasers to being the chasees," said Texas head softball coach Connie Clark. Texas opens the season ranked sev­ enth in the nation and a contender for the national title, but the role reversal clearly hasn't changed the team's atti­ tude towards the season. “We know we still have a lot of things we want to accomplish, but we still have to work to get there," said Clark. “You've got to get the team to believe they should be able to compete at the next level and now that we're there, we can focus on the day to day things needed to achieve our goals." Step one to meeting those lofty expectations and achieving those goals would be defeating cross-town foe St. Edwards University. The Lady Hilltoppers, returning 14 letterwinners and all nine of their starters from last season's 31-21 team, will look to give the Horns all they can handle. Texas leads the all-time record against St. Edward's 4-0 with the last meeting being a close 4-3 Longhorn victory. The season opener, traditionally viewed as a chance to let the entire team get a look and feel of a game situation, should be a strong indica­ tor of what the Horns' strengths and weaknesses may be as the season progresses. The players, however, know what it will take to win this game and con­ tinue to strive toward their goals. “It's a good starting point for us," said sophomore Trisha Tatro. “We take every game as if it were impor­ tant and we're basically out to play Texas softball — our type of game. We definitely know we're better than where we finished last season and that's why we're out here stay­ ing after practice, doing the extra work that will get us to our goals." Clark agreed, saying that the Longhorns will focus on what they need to do rather than worry about what the Hilltoppers have in store for them. "It's very realistic to talk about the opportunity of being a national championship-contending team, but it's still early and we're still trying to work some things out. We have to remember it's easier to get to No. 7 from No. 25 than it is from No. 7 to No. 1." CALL 471-9190 to make an appointment for your Cactus Yearbook Portrait.

They're doing similar to what the Marlins are doing, really," Reds general manager Jim Bowden said. "A ll w e've been trying to do is get younger," Padres general man­ ager Kevin Towers said. "W e've achieved that with Reggie and Damian. The thing that's most appealing is we're able to control Reggie for another year [2000] and Vaughn, we don't know if we could." Sanders makes $3.7 million this season and his contract has a team option for 2000 at $3.7 million. San Diego approached the Reds about Vaughn last Thursday and requested Sanders, who doesn't fit in the Reds' long-term planning. When the Padres declined to make up some of the $2 million differ­ ence in salary, Bowden lobbied Reds m anaging executive John Allen to go over budget to make the deal. Baseball C on tin ued from page 9 After the first two Longhorn bat­ ters flied out, left fielder Bien Emond walked to began a two out rally. Center fielder Mike Pumo then dou­ bled to left field, putting runners on second and third. Cox would then double up the middle to drive in two runs and give the Longhorns a 5-2 lead and a few insurance runs. - "You come up with runners on second and third and then you get tyro strikes and all I was thinking about was contact," Cox said. "I happened to get enough of the ball and get it by the pitcher and it hap­ pened to scoot on through." « While this is the first time in a long time that Texas has a perfect record after one game, the Horns are being careful not to bank their sea­ son on the results of a single contest. "I think we're very solid," Dunn said. "I don't think we have those gaping holes, and I think our pitch­ ing staff will be a lot stronger. Only time will tell. When we get to play some other teams around the coun­ try and in the conference, then we'll be able to tell where were going." The Longhorns and Mavericks will close out their two-game series Wednesday, at 2:30 p.m., at Disch- Falk Field. A s s o c ia te d Press ROSEMONT, 111. — Walter Pay­ ton, gaunt, tearful and barely resem­ bling the dashing, durable Chicago Bears' Hall of Famer who rushed his way into the NFL record books, got to die point quickly on Tuesday: He has a rare liver disease and needs a transplant to live. "To the people that really care about me, just continue praying," said the 44-year-old Payton, who choked up when he embraced his 17-year-old son, Jarrett. just three The disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, afflicts in 100,CKX) people, said Payton's physi­ cian, Dr. Joseph Lagattuta. The cause of the disease, which blocks the bile ducts, is unknown, but isn't related to alcohol, steroids, hepatitis or immune deficiency, he said. Patients in Payton's condition sur­ vive an average of two years unless they receive a transplant, Lagattuta said. Symptoms include liver Recruits C ontinued from page 9 based in Austin, this is the first time he's ever had the Longhorns among his top 10. He's also never placed two Texas schools so high. The Longhorns and Aggies wowed everyone this year by soak­ ing up most of the state's best play­ ers and using their remaining schol­ arships on elite guys from other states. Texas has USA Today's offensive and defensive high school players of the year in quarterback Chris Simms of Ramapo (N.J.)

Asked if he was scared, the NFL's all-time rushing leader snapped: "A m I scared? Hell yeah, I'm scared. Wouldn't you be scared?" "But it's not in my hands any­ m ore," he added. "It's in God's hands." In 13 years with the Bears, Pay­ ton's trademarks were his vaulting goal line leaps and a punishing run­ ning style. He stiff-armed and bar­ reled past tacklers in the open field almost as often as he dodged them. Rumors about Payton's health spread last week after he appeared at a news conference at which his son announced he would play col­ lege football for Miami. Payton said those rumors prompted his disclo­ sure. "W e wanted to get everything straight before things got bad," said Payton, who wore sunglasses and an NFL jacket and bluejeans that could­ n't hide his thinness. Payton is being evaluated for a the M ayo Clinic, transplant at where former Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker received a liver trans­ plant in 1996 for the same disease. Tucker was on a waiting list for four months. Lagattuta said 88 percent of peo­ ple who receive a liver transplant are alive after a year, and the long-term survival rate is "very promising." He said most patients can return to an active life if they receive a trans­ plant. Patients in Payton's condition sur­ vive an average of two years with­ out a transplant, the doctor said. Doctors say he won't get preferen­ tial treatment because of his celebri­ ty- News of Payton's illness sobered those who knew him as a muscular, fearless player. "W e're all humans and regardless of how rich we are, how fortunate we are, whatever we maybe, things like this happen," said retired Bears fullback Roland Harper, who blocked for Payton. Former Bears coach Mike Ditka called Payton "the greatest football player I've ever seen." in Bryan defensive lineman Ty War­ ren, Cy Falls linebacker Jason Fred­ erick, quarterback Colby Freeman and defensive back Sam Davis, both from Brownwood. The Aggies also are adding three California gems and two from Louisiana. "They cherrypicked some players from out of state who they really wanted and targeted. That's what pushes them into the nation's elite," Burton said, noting that in past years programs such as Michigan and Florida State have used Texas talent as the icing on their cakes. According to W allace's count, four of the top eight Texas recruits will become Aggies and two will be Longhorns. Of the state's consensus top 30 players, an overwhelming majority are choosing to go to Texas colleges — quite a change from the years when more than half fled the state. "N otre Dame, Tennessee and Kansas State are the only teams that came to Texas and went away with more than one very talented player," Burton said. "U sually Michigan, Florida State, Oklahoma and other schools do that, too." Another big shift is an all-for-one attitude growing among state schools. The reduced infighting and increased goodwill between pro­ grams includes Brown and Slocum. For example, Aggies recruit Free­ man was congratulated on his choice of schools in a letter — from Brown. " I think it's great because it was really frustrating to see teams out of state win big games with so many players from Texas," Free­ told the Fort Worth Star- man Telegram. "W hat I wanted to do was try and be part of the start of build­ ing teams in Texas into national pow ers." Texas and Texas A&M kickstart- ed their recruiting efforts by each beating Nebraska. The Longhorns also were aided by Ricky Williams the H eism an Trophy, w inning while the Aggies got a boost from beating Kansas State for the Big 12 title. With the state's two heavyweights moving to the forefront nationally, other Texas schools were left to fight for their leftovers. Texas Christian, which rebounded from a one-win season to Sun Bowl champions, probably had the next- best class but it's not considered among the top 25 nationally. at Reigning Performance, Inc., l i f e is r e a l l y QUITE SIMPLE: IF YOU’VE GOT THIS: MUSTANG SUPRA RX7 HONDA MR-2 Z28 ECLIPSE ACURA 300TT BMW M’s PORSCHE CORVETTE W E’ VE GOT THIS, AND MORE: GREDDY VORTE<^H STEEDA TANABE El BACH STILLEN BAM THERMAL H A R NOLOGY TOKICO CATZ APEXi HKS BREMBO NOS BMP RM (AZ) KAN KYB PETTIT P0WERSLOT NEUSPEED MAGNECOR REIGNING PERFORMANCE, AUSTIN’S ONLY “PERFORMANCE ONLY”SPORfs CAR/SEDAN SPECIALISTS.

Athletics Student Life H* Greeks $ Organizations * Academics He Classes & Limelight Student Leadership seeks legitimacy after bribery fiasco Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Mitt Rom- ney, a millionaire venture capitalist with Utah roots, is the front-runner leadership of the to take over besieged committee organizing the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. Inc. Romney, who has dabbled in poli­ tics while helping to build Bain Cap­ in Boston, has been ital approached about the job, a source knowledgeable about the search for a new Salt Lake Organizing Com ­ mittee chief executive officer said Tiiesday. While Gov. Mike Leavitt is not yet ready to say Romney is the person who will help steer the committee away from the scandal enveloping the Olympics, he and SLOC chairman Robert Garff are preparing to announce a reorganization of the committee. Among the changes could be expanding the committee's board of trustees "to add more voices," as well as changes in the ethics policy, said Vicki Varela, Leavitt's spokeswoman. The reorganization would include a new executive committee of the board that does not include longtime members Spence Eccles and Verl Topham, two prominent executives that were enlisted during Salt Lake's bidding for the gam es to watch over staffers now blamed for excesses, said another knowledgeable source. The reorganization also likely will add a chief operating officer to SLOC's management ranks so the job of organizing the games can remain on track while the new chief executive works to restore faith in Salt Lake's ability to manage the games. Roger Jackson, who held a similar job during Calgary's 1988 Winter Games and serves on the IOC Coor­ dination Com m ission overseeing preparations for 2002, is considered the front-runner for that chief oper­ ating officer job. Former Senior Vice President Dave Johnson, forced to resign on Jan. 8 because of his role in the bid effort, had performed much of that job. Romney, a Republican who unsuc­ cessfully challenged Massachusetts Democrat Ted Kennedy for his U.S. Senate seat in 1994, would replace Frank Joklik, who stepped down as chief executive during the Jan. 8 housecleaning. His father w as the late George Romney, governor of Michigan. Romney, 51, w as traveling and did not immediately return phone calls left at Bain Capital on Tuesday. "H e prefers not to comment at this point," said Charley Manning, a spokesman. Joklik has said he knew nothing about the lavish spending by fellow bid boosters that triggered what has become the Olympic movement's biggest corruption scandal.

Joklik remains as acting president until a new chief executive takes over, but will leave under a cloud after a report that he used his posi­ tion as chief executive of Kennecott Corp. to donate to Salt Lake's Olympic bid and to snub those that did not. to pressure suppliers The Wall Street Journal on Tues­ day disclosed details of a memo Jok­ lik, serving as volunteer chairman of the bid committee, wrote to Ken­ necott employees in 1991. Romney is particularly attractive to Leavitt and the Olympic commu­ nity because his background w as scoured by Republicans and Democ­ rats in his 1994 senatorial race and w as found untarnished by impropri­ ety, the source said. The descendant of early, promi­ nent Mormons, Romney has served in the lay clergy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, presiding over a group of congrega­ tions in the Boston area. Romney is a graduate of Brigham Young University, Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School and lives in Belmont, Mass., and Park City. He has five sons. Beyond finding someone skilled in business, two criteria have been key in the search for a new chief executive: that he has a reputation for integrity and the personality to rally Utah residents bruised by the scandal. Seventy percent of the state's residents are members of the Mormon church, based in Salt Lake. Romney is on the board of direc­ tors for the Boy Scouts of America and is a vice chairman of the Nation­ al Points of Light Foundation. "If someone of the stature of Mitt Romney were willing, w e'd be thrilled," said Henry Marsh, a SLOC board member. In other developments Tuesday: —The White House led the call for the scandal-plagued IOC to clean up its act on the opening day of the IOC drug summit in Lausanne, Switzer­ land. Barry McCaffrey, a White House adviser on drug policy, and British Sports Minister Tony Banks called for reform and most speakers demanded that a proposed interna­ tional anti-doping agency be inde­ pendent of the IOC. President Juan Antonio Samaranch has proposed that he oversee the agency. —Tax records show that in the two years before Atlanta won the 1996 Olympics, its bid team spent $7.8 mil­ lion to lobby IOC members. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution detailed the payments cm Tuesday, but said if was not suggesting the millions spent by Atlanta's bid team were improper. —A survey of 1,000 American^ showed overwhelming support fot Olympic athletes and the corporation that pay their way to the games despite the Salt Lake City corruption scandal» Respondents to the survey, requested by the U S. Olympic Committee ancf conducted by research firm Wirthlin Worldwide, also said major changes were needed for selecting host dtieS and how they plan the games. —The USOC has been served & subpoena from the U.S. Justic^ Department, which is investigating the Salt Lake bid. Spokesman Mike Moran said investigators want docuj ments, and USOC will deliver themi !
