F ifty-seven p ercent of Texas taxpayers su r­ veyed in a Harte-Hanks Com munications/Texas A&I poll said they would accept a state tax hike — and nearly 62 percent preferred student tuition hikes — to ensure the quality of higher education throughout Texas. "A solid majority of Central Texans will sup­ port a state tax increase if it will ensure that all Texas college students receive an education com­ petitive with other states and foreign countries," said J.D. Phaup, a m em ber of the Texas Faculty Association and a professor of political science at Texas A&I. But people do not always mean w hat they say, he added. "People tend to have conflicting wishes, wants and desires," he said. "They d o n 't want tuition increases but they think higher education is slip­ ping in Texas." Charles Zucker, the executive director of TFA, said that w hile the state "needs to increase its revenue" for higher education, he was surprised at the willingness expressed by the people in the survey to have their taxes raised. "W e w ere am azed by the results of o u r su r­ vey," he said. "People seem to be more willing to pay more money ... if they know w hat it's going for." A ccording to the poll, 57 percent of Texans statewide support a tax increase and 35 percent were opposed. Sixty-two percent support tuition increases and 30 percent were opposed. M ore than 1,000 Texans w ere random ly su r­ veyed. Ten percent reported that they had chil­ dren in Texas colleges and universities. State Sen. Bill Ratliff, chairm an of the Sen; Education Com mittee, said that while the fir ings were "an interesting study in poll taking the public tends to favor tuition increases ov increased taxes. 1 don't think you're going to see a tax increc this year,” he said. Legislators are tired of raisi taxes for good causes and being "bludgeon d' their constituents for it, Ratliff added. "I think the legislators are going to show t people of Texas w hat it's like when you doi raise taxes," he said. And Yvette Brun, an adm inistrative assist? for the Senate Education Committee, noted th ■ num ber of legislators who supported increas taxes in the last election were not re-elected.

The com m ittee voted to send a version of the proposal w ith minor changes to the Senate after the origi­ nal plan was proposed by Sen. Bill Ratliff, R-M ount Pleasant, on Jan. 19. Florence S hapiro, R-Plano, w as the lone dissenter. Ratliff, who heads the committee, said he w as "very p ro u d " the bill was approved. 'W ith all the bad PR the w ords 'R obin H o o d ' h av e g o tten , m any around the state d id n 't w ant to get stuck with it one more time," Ratliff said. Shapiro, how ever, ud the pro­ posal was the "samr old plan" that failed in a special session last year. "I know w e're on a short fuse," Shapiro said, but "I had hopes we could review other plans." A section of the proposal specify­ ing a 90~cent property tax rate was re m o v e d from th e bill b e fo re app rov al Ratliff said dollar am ounts should n o t be sp e c ifie d in th e Texas Constitution. "W e're so hidebound w ith consti­ tutional restrictions that the 90 cents is n o t p r u d e n t to p u t in th e Constitution," Ratliff said. G o n zalo B arrien to s, D -A ustin, said he had reservations about the plan but hoped it would be passed to avert the closing of Texas public schools — m andated by the Texas Supreme Court — if acceptable leg­ islation is not passed before June 1. " T h e s p irit of c o o p e ra tio n is g o o d ," s a id . B a rrie n to s " P h ilo s o p h ic a lly , th e re are s till some difficulties — we are stepping lightly." "T he m ain strength [of Ratliff's plan] is th at the co u rt is w a itin g with a ham m er if we don't act," he said. Barrientos said he wants the bill to move quickly through the Senate and to the House to prove that the S en ate is a d d r e s s in g th e sch o o l finance problem. The p la n p ro p o s e d by R a tliff would create county' education dis­ tricts, co m p o sed of one or m ore counties, w hich w ould be allow ed to levy property taxes and distribute them to the schools in the district. This would, in theory, allow poorer schools, coupled with richer ones, to benefit on a more equal basis. TSP Board turns dovyn Holocaust revisionist ad Meghan Griffiths Daily Texan Staff With a few scattered claps and a silent exodus, about 40 s tu d e n ts an d c o m m u n ity m em bers left a Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees m eet­ ing Tuesday night after the board quickly rejected run­ ning an advertisem ent denying the legitimacy of the Holocaust. The 10 m em bers voted 6-4 in favor of upholding a decision m ade by advertising and Daily Texan officials not to run an ad for a video titled Auschw itz Director Comes Clean About Fraudulent 'Gas Chamber' In Exclusive Interview. f orm er Hillel Foundation board member Erica Drath said she was encouraged by the board's lack of discus­ sion of the issue. The board "finally set the precedent," she said. "We w eren't there to discuss the ad. This is the first time TSP has rejected the ad w ithout arguing about it." " T h is tim e B rad ley S m ith [a d v e rtis e r of th e Committee For Open Debate On the Holocaust] didn't get what he wanted — publicity," she said. The Sm ith advertisem ent offers to sell a video dis­ claim ing "homicidal gas cham bers" and dism issing them as a 'lie." In one section of the ad, Smith claims: "T his is a video that affirm s w h at revisionists have m aintained for years: that the Soviets and Poles m ade a practice of creating proofs of homicidal gas chambers." But board member John M urphy, who voted for run­ ning the publication, said the decision to uphold violat­ ed the role of the media. "There shouldn't be any sacred cows," he said. He added that the issue raises the question "w hat's the role of the paper on campus?" " N o m a tte r how m u ch I d isa g re e w ith B rad ley S m ith/ the ad is not inflammatory or libelous, M urphy said. "We missed an opportunity to debunk [Smith]."

Anti-weevil insecticide bill spurs debate State legislators are considering a controversial bill that could allow' massive pesticide spraying to combat the boll w eevil, an insect threatening cotton production in Texas. The bill, known as CSSB 30, w ill be considered W ednesday by the agriculture subcommittee of the Senate Natural Resources Committee and has provoked strong debate among environm ental groups, cotton growers and the State Department of Agriculture. The bill is "a bad piece of legislation which doesn t take human health or environmental fac­ tors into account," said Scott Royder, state con­ servation director for the Lone Star chapter of the Sierra Club. The bill is not necessary, Royder said, "because alternatives are presently available which can control the boll w eevil as much as pesticides any­ w ay." Members of Texas Cotton Producers, Inc. said they disagreed and argued that current w eevil control methods are inadequate and that the pro­ posed legislation would not represent an en vi­ ronmental threat. The bill ' in no w ay circum vents anv state or federal law regarding the use of farm chem icals," according to a statem ent from Texas C otton Producers. "A ll current state and national regulatory safe­ guards reg ard ing a g ric u ltu ra l p esticid e use remain in place and must be observed," the state­ ment said. The legislation w ould create a Texas cotton foundation to administer boll weevil eradication efforts in the state's cotton-producing regions. Eradication zones would be designated by a two-thirds vote in a referendum of state cotton producers, or if those voting in favor of the refer­ endum farm a majority of die cotton acreage in a particular region. Pesticide spraying would then be allowed in those regions. If the referendum passes, 70 percent of the eradication plan's funding would come from pro­ ducers, w ith the U.S. Department of Agriculture funding the remaining costs. The total cost of the plan could be $140 m illion over the next five years. Texas A gricu ltu re Com m issioner R ick Perry supported the b ill in testim ony M onday before the Senate Natural Resources Committee. "T h e measure w ill benefit the environm ent, despite the Sierra Club's misrepresentation to the contrary," Perry said. W ith o u t the e ra d ica tio n p rogram , P e rry argued, insecticide use in cotton-growing areas would actually increase because farmers would be forced to ap p ly increasing am ounts of the chemicals each year to control boll weevils. Consumers' Union, a public interest group, is not opposed to the idea of controlling the wee­ vils, said Reggie James, project director for the organization. James added, however, that the group is still unsatisfied w ith the proposed legislation. "U nder the legislation, cotton producers would be m aking decisions about pesticide spraying and w ould be using taxpayer m o n ey," Jam es said. "There's no public representation in these deci­ sions, and no standards which would lim it pesti­ cide levels" included in the bill. " If they [the Legislature] can fix these prob­ lems, we'd be making progress," James said. "A s it stands, however, the bill doesn't address public safety or environm ental protection in any w ay, shape or form ." Brad Floyd, i km Ameseuita Poll: Majority ot Texans would support taxes for higher ed Continued from page 1 to support funding until it affects them directly, she said. The current budget for higher education is 1.4 percent less than last year's budget and when inflation is figured in, the cut is clo ser to 4 or 5 p ercen t, Zucker said. He added that TFA plans to make itself heard in the state's capital as well as with representatives in their district. "W e 're going to beat the drum ... for revenue increases by lobbying the Legislature." But TFA m ay face difficulties in getting their message across to legis­ lators. Higher education doesn't top the list of priorities legislators face right now, a spokeswoman for the Senate Education Committee said. She added that the com m ittee feels that court mandates are forcing legislators to address areas such as mental health, prisons and the pub­ lic school system before looking at higher education. Richard Ham ner, the legislative director for Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, agreed that higher education fund­ ing was not the most pressing issue facing lawmakers. "The sim ple fact is, we have to m eet those m andates that are imposed upon u s," Ham ner said. P h a u p , w h ile a d m ittin g that Texas higher education rates are some of the low est in the nation, said he was doubtful that tuition increases w o u ld rem ed y h ig h er education's woes. H e said m ore m oney does not necessarily guarantee better educa­ tion. But he said a significant budget cut would result in a poorer system of higher education. " I don't really see tuition increas­ es as a major w ay out of the funding dilem m a," he said. Phaup said students from low- income backgrounds would need to be protected from a large rise in tuition, and said that it w ould be self-d efeatin g because the state w ou ld have to "tu rn around and give the m oney b ack" in form s of financial aid.

Battles raged inland from the Adriatic port of Zadar in a fifth day of fighting since Croats broke a year-long truce by attacking in the heartland of the Serb rebellion in Croatia, U.N. officials said. The bloodshed threatened apparent progress in peace talks between Serbs, Croats and Muslims in neighboring Bosnia. It also raised the specter of a return to all-out com bat after m ore than a year of relative peace in C roatia, w here about 10,000 people died in last year's civil war. Russia accused Croatia of taking "provocative actions." France announced it w as sending the aircraft carrier Clemenceau and seven other war­ ships to the Adriatic Sea for possible intervention in Croatia or Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Associated Press Reich outlines growth plans Proposals should spark economy, stop layoffs, labor secretary says Associated Press WASHINGTON — The adm inis­ tration, confronted w ith stark evi­ dence that U.S. corporate giants are still shedding jobs by the thousands, said Tuesday that President Clinton will likely propose $15 billion to $20 billion in government spending and tax breaks to jum p-start the econo­ my thfc year. Labor Secretary Robert Reich con­ ceded that this was a small total in comparison to the $6 trillion econo­ my but he insisted that it would still send " a very clear signal that we have got to get the growth back."

If the Security Council approves sanctions — which is doubtful because of U.S. objections — Israel w ould join Iraq, Libya and Yugoslavia as countries punished w ith embargoes. Israel has steadfastly refused to readm it the nearly 400 Palestinians who rem ain in spartan camps in southern Lebanon. They were deported last m onth for alleged links to the radical Muslim fundamentalist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, in a report released Tuesday, said Israel's intransi­ gence "challenges the authority of the Security C o u n c il" an d reco m m en d ed " it sh o u ld take whatever measures are required to ensure that its unanim ous decision ... is respected." The day after the Palestinians were deported Dec. 17, the 15-nation Security C ouncil voted unanim ously to dem and Israel return them. In Jerusalem, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on Tuesday accused the United Nations of exercis­ ing a double standard against Israel. "The report is an example of double standard, com pletely ignoring terrorism and singling out only tlie steps taken against it," he said. Israel's U.N. am bassador, Gad Yaacobi, said Boutros-Ghali's stance "totally ignores the back­ ground" behind the expulsion of alleged Muslim radicals. PLO representatives presented a draft resolu­ tio n to d ip lo m a ts fro m P a k ista n , D jib o u ti, Morocco, Cape Verde and Venezuela, hoping to get one to sponsor the m easure in the Security Council.

No action on the draft resolution was expected until after Israel's Suprem e C ourt rules on the expulsion of the Palestinians. A decision may come later this week.

Clinton Cabinet richer than Bush’s, Reagan’s Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Clinton, w h o m ad e a ca m p a ig n issu e o u t of Republican favoritism of the wealthy, has more millionaires among his top advisers th a n e ith e r R onald R eagan or G eorge Bush. Clinton has at least nine millionaires at the top of his adm inistration, including several well-to-do lawyers and two Wall Street executives w hose fortunes dw arf Clinton's reported $863,000 in assets. Among the top Cabinet millionaires are Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen, worth at least $5.9 million, and Secretary of State Warren Christopher, who is worth at least $4.2 million. B ut ev e n th e ir fo rtu n e s are e a sily topped by the two top economic advisers C lin to n b o rro w e d from W all S treet, Robert Rubin and Roger Altman. Each is worth tens of millions of dollars. In addition, four o ther C abinet m em ­ bers and a U.N. am bassador with Cabinet- level status are millionaires, and five other top aides m ay well have the distinction, an Associated Press review of their finan­ cial disclosure reports reveals. A nother millionaire, Zoe Baird, withdrew her nom ­ ination for attorney general last week. By com parison, Reagan counted seven m illionaires in his first ad m in istratio n , while Bush's first Cabinet had six. For R epublicans, still sm artin g from C linton cam paign attacks claim ing they catered to the w ealthy during the 1980s, the com position of the new Democratic Cabinet is ironic. "W hat they're going to say is, 'O ur mil­ lionaires are better than their millionaires w ere,"' said former Commerce Secretary R o b ert M o sb ac h er, o n e of th e B ush Cabinet's top millionaires. " B e in g a m illio n a ire sh o u ld n o t be thought of as a negative or a pejorative. But let's face it, there have been claims about populism that have been made, and the reality has obviously been very differ­ ent," he said. Michael Deaver, a former Reagan White H ouse aide, said the irony is that many C linton C abinet ap poin tees m ade their fortunes during the 1980s when Repub­ lican policies held sway. "T hey've taken and received the very best of w h at the '80s had to offer, and th e y 're here say in g th at th e '80s w ere bad," Deaver said During the campaign, Clinton repeated­ ly criticized Bush for being "out of touch" w ith average Am ericans and concerned more with the interests of the wealthy. For instance, in a Labor Day speech in Independence, Mo., Clinton accused Bush of w aking up "every m orning worrying about how to lower taxes one more time on millionaires." W hite H ouse spokesw om an Dee Dee M yers said "w ealth had nothing to d o " with the Clinton's Cabinet picks.

The picture for black Americans, the report said, is not a rosy one. It cited steep increases in black unemployment, at more than 14 per­ cent in the third quarter of 1992, and warned of economic devastation for black Americans as jobs are cut in auto manufacturing, the mili­ tary, defense and service-oriented industries. E x p ec tatio n s for C lin to n a re h ig h , said Urban League President John Jacob.

Feds go ape; agent in gorilla outfit drives smuggling suspects bananas MIAMI — A federal agent disguised in a gorilla suit and placed in a cage helped nab Mexican zoo officials attem pting to sm uggle p rim a te s to M exico, a p ro s e c u to r sa id Tuesday. The Mexicans — including Victor Bernal, 57, director of zoos and parks for the interior state of Mexico — were shown real gorillas, orang­ utans and chim panzees at M iam i-area zoos, authorities said. They were told the anim als could be sm uggled to Mexico, and would be delivered Monday, authorities said. "But it's risky and dangerous to use a real animal, so we had to use a willing substitute — an agent in a gorilla outfit," Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Gelber said. The agent was placed in a cage at the Opa- locka airport, supposedly to be flown to the Toluca zoo in Mexico. Bernal and two m iddle­ men took delivery of him, authorities said. Miami M etroZoo curator Ron Magill, who su p p lied the cage for the p h ony gorilla — complete with "Live Animal" stam ped on the side — said he never believed the suspects would fall for the $92,500 sting. "It's like a movie. I'm really surprised any­ one could be that gullible," he said. "But they fell for it. It just goes to show money doesn't equate with intelligence."

SA needs to revise its game plan on gym renovation O ne month after Christm as, and the long way to attract better undergraduate pro­ fessors. But spending $20 million for a rec cen­ ter would be imprudent. campus is still writing its wish list. The newest toy desired is a brand new gym, or rather a new $20 million face for an old one — Gregory Gymnasium. As Students' Asssociation President Howard Nirken points out, " If we want something like this, we're going to have to pay for it." Nirken apparently hasn't considered the probability that most students do not want an expensive new recreation center. To construct this brainchild, Nirken calls for a $20 increase in student fees w hile the U niversity faces the inevitable tutition increases at the end c legislative session. Few would disagree that more recreation facilities would be desirable, but do we really want to pay this much to fill such an impracti­ cal, and probably manufactured, need? Twenty extra dollars a month could go a Granted, many students here will not have to pay for the renovation, because the fee increase will not take effect until after the refurbished gym is opened. But we can act now to make sure that stu­ dents entering the University in 1996, who will already be paying substantially higher tuition, do not inherit extra fees for services they never asked for. The new $12.5 m illion Rec Center, which opened in late October 1990, is more than ade­ quate. With state-of-the-art equipm ent, the enormous student Rec Center rivals any such campus facility in the nation. So why do we need another one? Nirken claims that the Rec Center is over­ crowded, yet few students have complained so „ . „ giggpr far about overuse. Years ago, Rec C en ter d esig n ers an ticip a ted heavy u se; if the University continues to follow through with its plans to scale back enrollment, Rec Center use will actually decline or at least remain stable in the future. If the Rec Center does become overcrowded, then Gregory Gym is a natural location for expanded facilities — it already has a gym, old racquetball courts and space for weight rooms. Moreover, L. Theo Belmont Hall, beneath the bleachers in Memorial Stadium, provides rac­ quetball and squash courts, in add ition to Gregory Gym and the Rec Center. But, considering our tight finances and the absence of a mandate to construct new space, the m ost pru d ent m ove now w ould be to install air conditioning, clean up dusty weight rooms and purchase new equipment" to serve as overflow for the Rec Center. The Students' Association does not need $20 million dollars — more than 1.5 times the cost of the Rec Center — to renovate portions of the gym into a workable overflow center. It could probably accomplish the necessary improve­ ments for something near $7.5 million. If Nirken has his way and persuades naive students that they need a new used car, then we shou ld at least m ake sure th at the University foots part of the bill. The University is currently paying to recon­ vert Anna Hiss Gymnasium into a molecular biology lab; SA leaders apparently have not made any attempt to draw matching Gregory funds from University officials. In the yuletide season, kids get an opportu­ nity to ask Santa for ponies and air rifles.

Y et the school always seems to find enough money to build multi- m illion-dollar facilities, such as the parking garage currently under construction on San Antonio Street. W henever the University seem s to have satisfied its urge to build, it goes on to im prove tennis courts, p u r c h a s e fu r n itu r e and th ro w la v is h p a r tie s . M eanw hile, salaries are never significantly increased and the school alw ays co m p lain s about financial problems. Hie justification for this near-criminal appropria­ tion of funds is embedded in the ridiculously wordy Texas Constitution. The docum ent requires all pro­ ceeds from lands and property ow ned by the UT Sy stem , as w ell as m oney from grants, donations and a p p r o p r ia tio n s , to re m a in u n to u ch ed in a Perm anent University Fund. The PUF is managed by the UT System Board of R eg en ts, w h ich a d m in iste rs m o n ey to b o th th e University and Texas A&M. The I UF has grown to $3.7 billion, primarily as a result of oil and gas royalties from property owned in W est T exas. A v ery sm a ll p e rce n ta g e o f th is money is then invested in certain types of bonds and securities. , By law, the interest earned from these investments is then used for capital im provem ents for the two sch o o ls, su ch as b u ild in g s, p ark in g g arages and boo ks. N one of the $3.7 b illio n m ay be used fo r salaries, cu rricu lu m ad v an cem en t or other badly needed programs. I om Ricks, vice chancellor of asset m anagem ent for the UT System, said, "T h e money in the PUF is essential in order to m aintain the System 's buying pow er.' When asked w h at benefits the U niversity m ight gain from using m oney from the PUF, Ricks replied, " I see no positive effects of using any of the $3.7 billion for any other u se." O f cou rse th ere w ould be g reat rew ards to the Sy stem — h ig h er salarie s and sm aller classes, to nam e a few — but Ricks fails to foresee the potential benefits. Perhaps enrollm ent at the University has grown to such enormous num bers because facilities and class­ room s are continuously constructed.

The fund has now grown so large that prudent use of ju st $1 billion would hardly make a dent in the Sy stem 's expansion plans, w hile providing badly- needed m onies for cu rren t expen d itu res, such as teacher salaries. The Texas Legislature has already announced that the state may not be able to fulfill the financial needs of the System in 1992-93. Subsequently, tuition will be increased and salaries will suffer. Since both uni­ versities have enough buildings, why not spend PUF money on more immediate needs? Although it would be blasphemous to question the w isdom of the Texas C onstitution, there is always room for one more amendment to aid higher educa­ tion. One w ell-crafted am endm ent could alleviate the System's financial difficulties while protecting its strong buying power. By requiring a minimum level for the PUF and set- ting guidelines for the allocation of excess funds, the System could finally graduate one school (undoubt­ edly the University) to the top 10. There has never been a cause more fitting for the Texas Student Lobby to initiate. Legislators should be receptive to a proposal that could save the state millions of dollars and advance higher education. Levatino is an English senior.

M oney may not be the sole determ ining factor in a child 's successful education, but a total disregard of funding parity is ill-advised. Few people in w ealthy d istricts would be willing to send their children to a school in o n e o f th e p o o re st d is tric ts . T h is is b eca u se the b est te a ch e rs and stu d en ts gravitate toward the districts with greater budgets. These districts usually pay higher sa la rie s, o ffer b ette r fa cilitie s and have plenty of textbooks. M any oppose equal funding plans like the Robin Hood system because the plan would take from the rich and give to the poor. But in the real w orld, rich districts already possess an unfair advantage; equal funding would level the playing field. U nder the cu rren t sy stem , child ren in the poorer districts system atically obtain lower skills because o f poor teaching, inad­ eq u ate su p p lies and d e fic ie n t facilities. They are being train ed for m enial labor w ithou t an opportunity to com pete on a fair basis for professional jobs. F u r th e r m o r e , b e c a u s e o f m e a g e r f i ­ n a n ce s, m any o f th e se d is tric ts ca n n o t afford to add needed space or pay extra teachers for their growing communities. So poorer schools — which are predom inant­ ly non-white — sadly come to expect and rely upon a certain num ber of dropouts. W hen stud ents quit school, they free up room for the rem aining students in already crammed classrooms. State lead ers should d evise a funding system that is not based on individual dis­ trict tax rates. But if the old property tax system cannot be elim inated, then a cap sh o u ld b e p la c e d on e x p e n d itu r e s in w ealthier districts, with excess funds redis­ tributed to poorer ones.

UNIVERSITY «o vt,xv U mon patrons give poor reviews to planned bookstore Wednesday, January 27, 1993 Page 5 Justin Noble Daily Texan Staff As th e Texas U nion Board of D irectors bickers with the University Co-Op over how much money a proposed private bookstore , in the Union would raise for student inter­ ests, som e stu d e n ts w ere left w o n d erin g w hether it is all w orth it. I think the U nion Board is com pletely i out of touch w ith the tru e m ission of the < U nion," M ike G ray, chairm an of the Stu- ; dents A ssociation's Student Services Com- | mittee, said Tuesday. "The Union should be com m u nity cen ter of the U niversity. ; Taking out the [recreational center] is com­ pletely contrary to that idea." The Union Board created a committee to draft a student referendum Friday to decide whether the Union's bowling alley and the­ ater w ill be rem oved to m ake w ay for a bookstore. Students will vote on the measure in Feb­ ruary. A b o o k s to re on c a m p u s co u ld sav e money and earn extra cash for student-run projects, said Bruce Smith, the Union Board chairman. "I personally believe we'll get $1 million a year [in revenues] to use how [the students] decide to use it," Smith said. But some students w ho use the U nion's facilities are more concerned w ith having a place to socialize than m aking profits for distant projects, said Albert Yamaguchi, a communication senior w ho regularly bowls at the Union. "We come here for relaxation and recre­ ation," Yamaguchi said. "We w ant to make more money for what? If it's to improve our facilities then why take away our facilities?" The possibility of a new Union on the East Side of campus did not impress Yamaguchi either. The U nion Board had considered using revenues from the bookstore to build a Union East. "T he location here is central," he said. "Plus, I w o n't even be in college once it's finished or even when it's started." The re m o v a l o f th e re c re a tio n ce n te r could prove especially hard for students liv­ ing close to campus, said Michael Moon, a biology junior w ho also uses the bow ling alley and recreation center about three times a week. "Everything is convenient here, especially for freshmen or foreign students that don't have cars," Moon said. "It's probably not the most popular place, but for some people it's the only place they can go." The W illiam C. H ogg A u d ito riu m is ex p e cted to show film s from th e T exas Union Theater if the theater is removed for the bookstore. But, Monem Salam, SA attor­ ney general, said the seating in Hogg Audi­ torium was too much like a class room. "You look at the seating in Hogg and the seating in the Union," Salam said. "R eno­ vate — don't destroy." The Union also could become deserted at night, according to M att Kotwas, assistant m anager for the center. "Y o u 're certainly not going to go to a bookstore at night," Kotwas said. "Even if you make more money, how are you going to make up for the lost atm osphere?" Public forums will be held by the Union Board to hear in p u t from students, Sm ith said. However, Salam said that "it seems like part of the trend of the adm inistration and the Union Board is to make the Union into a mall, and if this comes to a referendum, the administration will get a slap in the face."

Melinda Krenek Daily Texan Staff Texas S tudent Television lost a chance for its ow n public access cable channel Tuesday after its proposal was dropped by a city subcom m ittee for cable televi- ' sion. Subcommittee m em ber Stuart Heady, chairman of the Austin Cable Commission, said the problem with get­ ting a public access channel is dropping a commercial channel, since there are no free channels currently avail­ able for public access. "It is becom ing increasingly difficult to insert non­ commercial service in the system that's become more crow ded," H eady said. "TSTV is still in the process of being able to program its own time block." Jerry L am bert, m an ag er of C able and R egulatory Affairs, said he believes the issue will never be solved. "The issue with regard to w hat channel to remove is an argum ent that will be presented forever," Lambert said. "T here is never going to be an em pty channel space. We support getting a channel, but city council is waiting for an opportune time with em pty space." Tom Rutledge, president of Austin CableVision, said there is no room for TSTV to have a public access chan­ nel because com m ercial stations available for public access are im portant to cable customers. Rutledge said the process of replacing a commercial ■ channel w ould be too expensive. The five commercial stations that could possibly be removed to make room for another public access channel are C ountry Music Television, Univision, Black Entertainm ent Television, and superstations WTBS-Atlanta and WGN-Chicago. T h e re is plenty of room on existing access chan ­ nels," Rutledge said. "A lot [of time] is unused, so until TSTV has more programming, there is no need to fur­ ther this challenge." Rutledge stressed that the TSTV proposal has been turned dow n by city council members twice since 1991. Two m onths ago, Neil G illigan, chairm an for the Access C om m ittee of the A ustin Cable Com m ission, p ro p o se d to the com m ission th a t th e C ity C ouncil reconsider creating an access channel that w ould be used by the A ustin Music Channel, TSTV, and extra pro g ram s from A ustin C o m m unity T elevision. The measure was not fulfilled by the City Council. "C ity C ouncil a p p a re n tly felt like th ere w as n o t enough original program m ing for TSTV to get a full­ time channel," Gilligan said. "It's more im portant for students' program m ing to be aired as m uch as possi­ ble." David Bluestein, TSTV outreach director, said Austin CableVision prom ised 13 access channels in 1981. Eight Cablevision channels are currently designated access channels. Bluestein said Austin CableVision has said it can operate profitably and still give Austin 13 non-com­ mercial access channels, but by 1989, the Cable Com ­ m ission had given TSTV p artial use of one of eight access channels, and kept the other five commercial.

Every student has used the sys­ tem, but few know just how' much com puting power is needed to send the voice of W illiam Liv- ingston, the dean o f G rad u ate Studies, over the wires. And trying to find out more is not an easy task. The office of the reg istrar refused to let The Daily Texan take a pictu re of the system or say , where it is on campus. "We do not want to tempt any­ body," said Mike Allen, an associ- : ate registrar. Indeed, this seems to be one of the most guarded secrets of the University. There have been nei­ ther problems with security nor disturbances from computer hack­ ers recorded in the nearly three years TEX has been operational. As an add i tonal security measure, users are d isco n n ected if they enter three incorrect transactions, Allen said. "TEX is a sophisticated system. It needs sophisticated users. We think students fit that d escrip ­ tion," Allen said. Even when users keep redialing the system thousands of tim es, such as on the first spring class day when 150,017 attempted calls w ere record ed from cam pus phones only, TEX stayed on-line. M ore than 130 phone lines are used to connect TEX to campus and off-campus phones. The heart of TEX is six 386- processors, 33 MHz microcomput­ ers equipped with special digital signal processing boards that con­ vert telephone tones to computer commands and teed the recorded class information back to the user. The six m icro co m p u ters are connected to a m ainfram e com ­ puter that runs the registration programs and to a 511 Mb server (the equivalent of 12 Macintosh hard drives) that stores the 632 phrases that form answers to the questions offered on the TEX-Talk service. TEX w as d ev elo p ed in 18 m on ths by a group headed by three system analysts from the University . Before that, UT experts spent two years studying the pro­ ject. The U niversity's initial invest­ ment was $300,000. Now the same amount is spent each year main­ taining the system, which is par­ tially funded by the $4 registration fee paid by students. Allen said that TEX saves the University about $600,000 annual­ ly in labor costs. The first colleges to introduce a touch-tone registration process were Georgia State University and Brigham Young U n iv ersity in Utah. In Texas, Austin Commu­ nity C o lleg e and Texas A&M adopted the system prior to the University. Allen said the University waited for a new generation of computers and was the first to use microcom­ puters. In addition, TEX is the first sys­ tem to allow stu d en ts to lift a financial bar by paying with Mas­ terCard or VISA, with the transac­ tion s v erified o n -lin e w ith an Atlanta database. U sing TEX, stu d en ts can get information on their grades, the status of their financial aid and loan applications and vote in stu­ dent elections. C am p u s Phones Associated Press College recovers from rampage, hands o u t whistles GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The students of Simon's Rock College of Bard opened a new semester Tuesday wondering if their mountain paradise was forever lost in the crackle of gunfire and splatter of blood. College administrators were handing out secu­ rity whistles to all 300 students in the wake of a Dec. 14 rampage that left a professor and a stu­ dent dead and wounded four. A sophomore has been charged in the shootings. "Sim on's Rock has always been seen ... as a safe haven, that you could keep you r doors unlocked," said Candy Ammer, 18, a junior from Apollo, Pa. "I definitely lock my doors now. I try not to walk around at night by myself." A uthorities say W ayne Lo, 18, of Billings, Mont., stalked across campus without warning, firing a semiautomatic rifle apparently at ran­ dom . W hen the 20-m in u te sp ree en d ed , he ordered a student to call police and then surren­ dered, investigators said. He has pleaded inno­ cent to murder charges and remains jailed with­ out bail. Coping has been particularly difficult for the students and employees at this pastoral, 275-acre campus in the Berkshires. Virtually everyone on campus knew the suspect and victims. Students are you n ger here than on oth er cam pu ses because Sim on's Rock is an alternative school that provides a college education to gifted, high school-age teen-agers. Students periodically recalled the horror in the sanitized language of survivors: "th e ev en t," "the tragedy," "the deceased." An ad hoc memorial of flowers and candles remained on the front stairs of the library, where Galen Gibson, 18, a sophomore from Gloucester, was killed. Nacunan Saez, 37, a Spanish teacher from Argentina, was killed in his car.Students said they were feeling everything from anger to guilt because they could not stop the bloodshed. Others said they felt a heightened sense of com­ munity from sharing the same awful ordeal. "W hen a tragedy happens, you realize that everybody counts," said Kyra Greene, a 17-year- old sophomore from Paducah, Ky. "And when they're gone, you notice." C ollege officials, who closed the school for semester break five days early immediately after the shooting, said it had prompted no one to drop out. Engineering seniors face changes in exam In April 1993, senior engineering stu dents w ill no longer face the Fundamentals of Engineering exam­ ination toting loads of books. The National Council of Examin­ ers for Engineering and Surveying ruled recently that beginning after the April test, students taking the previously open-book exam w ill only be allowed to use a reference boQklet supplied by the council. A.H Meyer, associate dean for student affairs for the C ollege of Engineering, said the exam is the first of two examinations required to license engineers and is given only twice each year. "It used to be an op en -b ook examination," Meyer said. Mi lesa Juricic, assistant director of continuing engineering education, said she is happy about the change. Juricic said it will save the proc­ tors from having to check volumes of reference materials students use for the exam. "They won't have to bring back­ packs full of b ook s," Juricic said. "A s far as proctors go, it's going to be better." Juricic said there were two rea­ sons for the change. " T o en h an ce se cu rity and to return to basic engineering prob­ lems." Juricic added that she anticipated that passing scores on the exam would increase.

STATE & LOCALI Home schooling case heard in court O Michael Gaffney Daily T e x a n Staff In a packed, standing-room only Suprem e C ourt session Tuesday, home schooling advocates gathered to hear a case that will decide if in- home education should be regulat­ ed by the state. At issue is w h e th e r the Texas E ducation A gency can legally enforce guidelines it drafted in the mid-'80s, which require a written plan of instruction designed to meet state education standards. A group of 18 parents challenged the state guidelines in a suit origi­ nally filed in 1985. U nder the guidelines, the state would administer an achievement test once a year to students taught at home. In addition, state attendance officers would check on parents to verify that safety and sanitation codes are satisfied in their homes, said James Todd, assistant attorney general. "The state board recommends the guidelines be follow ed" until the Legislature defines what constitutes a school, Todd said. Todd said the state wants to make sure children are in fact getting an education. But Shelby Sharpe, the attorney for the plaintiffs, said the state has no legal right to regulate in-home educators. "T he state has no authority to d eterm in e if any p riv a te or parochial school is an effective ... school," said Sharpe. "They mea­ sure if it's a real school by what is going on there, not by whether or not the results themselves are effec­ tive." Lynn Crislip who, along with his wife, home-schools their four chil­ dren, said that he wants to ensure that his children get the best possi­ ble education and are taught within the context of his religious beliefs. The C rislips both have teaching degrees. "God has given us the responibil- ity of training our children. I realize public school is different from the time when we were growing up," he said. "The social agenda is different. It seems everybody wants school to be neutral. I felt religious instruction was part of education." Since 1985, the state's school dis­ tricts have been prohibited from enforcing compulsory school atten­ dance codes because of a successful class action suit in Tarrant County. The state appealed the suit and lost in the 2nd Court of Appeals in Fort Worth in 1986. Sharpe said that the legislators have yet to define what "private" school m eans and that the Texas Education Agency has no legal right to define the term. Justice Bob Gammage said that the court's desire is to act in the best interests of children that are receiv­ ing home schooling. Wednesday, January 27, 1993 Page 7 T h k D a i l y T e x a v Proposed bill could change City Council Mushtaq Kapasi and Jam es Wilkerson Daily Texa n Staff If a recently proposed bill is passed by the Texas Legislature, the Austin City Council could cre­ ate single-member voting districts for councilm em bers, a proposal Austinites have rejected four times in the last 20 years. S ingle-m em ber d istric ts, in which voting regions are estab­ lished within the city and a repre­ sentative — who must live in the district — is elected, are m uch m ore com m on in m ajor Texas cities than A ustin's present at- large system. Last w eek state Rep. G len Maxey, D-Austin, proposed the bill, which w ould empower city councils in cities of 250,000 or more to create single-member dis­ tricts, at-large districts or a combi­ nation of the two. "M ost of the cities of our size have single-m em ber d istric ts," Maxey said. A single-member district system would also make it easier for a UT student to win a seat on the City Council, Maxey said. "Students play a vital role in Austin," Maxey said. "With 50,000 students at the U niversity, stu ­ dents should have a voice on the City Council." Austin Mayor Bruce Todd said he has "alw ays favored single- m em ber d is tric ts ," b u t w ould ra th e r they are a p p ro v e d by a charter revision, which requires a j popular vote. A t-large system s can lead to underrepresentation of minorities, Todd said, "w hich could easily land us in the courthouse — and has before." In an at-large system, all the citizens of an area vote on all councilmember seats. "I would prefer we have a char­ ter revision election in January 1994 and choose single-m ember districts by that process," Todd said. Maxey said that because the bill requires councilmembers to reside in their own districts, it w ould reduce election costs by favoring g rass-ro o ts cam p aig n in g over massive fund-raising. " It encourages peo p le w ho I aren't rich or controlled by special interests to run," Maxey said. According to Maxey, past refer­ endum s on single-m em ber d is­ trictin g have p itted W est and Northwest Austin neighborhoods against predom inantly m inority com m unities in East A ustin. Single-m em ber districts w ould help to ensure the minority posi­ tion because it ensures m inority representation. Petition drive may help citizens fight tax hikes Sonja Engen Daily T e x a n Staff The de facto chairm an of the H arris C ounty Republican Party announced a statew id e p e titio n drive Tuesday that he said would allow citizen s to tell legislators "enough is enough and we're fight­ ing back" against tax increases. De facto Chairman Steven Hotze said the school property tax rollback petition would restore the rights of citizens to cut property taxes if they are increased by more than 5 per­ cent from the previous year. "From the suburbs to the inner cities, from county to county all across the state, school tax rates are out of control," Hotze said. Republican Party precincts will circulate the petition countywide. The party's goal is to obtain 200,000 signatures in Harris County alone, Hotze said. He added that "liberal Democrat politicians and bureau­ crats" have created loopholes in the law, leaving most school districts' tax increases exempted from roll­ back provisions in existing laws. But Larry Yawn, assistant super­ intendent of legislative relations for the H ouston Independent School District, said that citizens have an " a b so lu te sta tu to ry r ig h t" to approve property tax increases that exceed the 5 percent mark if that is the majority opinion. Paul McClintock, administrative a ssista n t for the H arris C ounty Republican Party, said the petition "gives voters an o p p o rtu n ity to have control over runaway taxes." The p e titio n 's affect on HISD, McClintock said, would "eventually help them." "It will force them to get priori­ ties straight. They have to concen­ trate on education instead of social­ ism," McClintock said. Hotze said school property taxes in HISD have increased 32 percent this year and money alone will not improve the educational system. But Yawn said HISD has m ain­ tained the second lowest tax rate in the county, and there is a direct cor- rerlation between money and stu­ dent aptitude test scores.

W ith reports fro m Tara Ross, D a ily "The humanist establishment and Texan Staff Richards’ budget won’t raise taxes, gives teachers more money Rebecca Stewart Daily T ex a n Staff Gov. Ann Richards maintains a no-new- taxes stance in her proposed 1994-95 budget — which calls for a 5 percent pay increase for teachers and no major cuts from health and human services programs — her staff said Tuesday. Richards will present her $67.7 billion budget to law m akers W ednesday during her state of the state address. The governor's budget differs from the Legislative Budget Board's submission by calling for "no major cuts" in programs for Aid to Families with Dependent Children, AIDS and M edicaid. R ichards hopes to receive more federal aid to fund these pro­ grams. "We don't do this as a competing bud­ get," said Dale Craymer, the governor's budget director. "We believe we have a few ideas for how to stretch some dollars." State Comptroller John Sharp predicted a $3 billion deficit if all current programs are funded at their current levels. But in a per­ formance audit to be released Thursday, he predicts about $4.5 billion in savings if the recommended cutbacks take place. Richards is relying on this savings to maintain government services with minimal reductions. She hopes to see $750 million in spending cuts based on the a u d it to go toward the budget. "The bottom line is this [budget] does not call for new taxes," Craymer said. Under the spending proposal, higher edu­ cation will not receive any new funding. "Som e in stitu tio n s will gain or lose depending on enrollment," Craymer said. "It's a very slight reduction, essentially it's not a cut of any significance." A total of $629.7 million is slated for pub­ lic education, with $300 million for teacher pay raises effective Sept. 1, 1994, and $317 million for state aid to school districts. This falls short of the almost $1 billion education officials have been requesting. "We're not going to put $900 million into schools," said Paul Williams, Richards' chief of staff. "We don't have it." The budget also proposes a total of $806 million to fund health and human services programs. Since there are no proposed cuts to AFDC, AIDS and Medicaid programs, the governor plans to save m oney th rough " c o st co n tain m en t m e a su re s" — or increased competition among doctors and limits placed on profits health care officials can earn caring for Medicaid patients. Richards is also planning $819 million to fund the state's prison system. Her plan will fund substance abuse programs and reim­ b u rse counties for their jail backlog as required by House Bill 93. While the proposed budget tries to pre­ serve as m any p ro g ram s as possible, Williams said there is no way the plan will satisfy everyone.

Brick Daily Texan Staff Travis C ounty Sheriff Terry Keel testified Tuesday in defense of indefinitely suspended police Senior Sgt. Hector Polanco as Polanco's attorneys began calling their witnesses in ongo­ ing arbitration hearings. Polanco was suspended from the Austin Police Department last year after charges of aggravated perjury, stemming from a statement from John Salazar in police Sgt. Brent McDonald's files. The statement, deemed a confession of the murder of Travis C ounty corrections officer W illiam Redman, contained the initials "H.P." Polanco and McDonald had testified in a trial of men charged with m urdering Redman that they had not taken a statement from Salazar. Two other men were convicted of Redman's murder. Police also charged Polanco with failing to file timely reports in his investigation of the murder of four girls at an Austin I C an't Believe It's Yogurt' store, and with discrediting the depart­ ment because of the aggravated perjury charge. Attorneys for Polanco charge that his suspen­ sion w as discriminatory because Polanco, who is Mexican-American, received an indefinite sus­ pension, and McDonald, who is white, received only a written reprimand for bringing discredit to the department. City attorneys rested their case Tuesday after­ noon after presenting their final three witnesses. Police Lt. Paul Looney was on the disciplinary review board that approved Polanco's suspen­ sion. Looney testified Tuesday that he believed Polanco had not forgotten about Salazar's state­ ment, but had intentionally deceived the jury. "I can't believe anyone would not remember taking a confession in a case where a fellow offi­ cer had been beaten to death. It was a very brutal and very notorious crime," Looney said. Looney said he had "no idea" when asked what might be Polanco's motive to lie. Tom Kubena, director of information systems for the Police Department, testified that Polanco had p rin te d out an offense rep o rt from the Redman case on Jan. 8,1992, the day of Polanco's alleged aggravated perjury. Attorneys for the city of Austin presented newspaper clippings from the time of Polanco's suspension to d em onstrate the discred it he allegedly brought the department. Lt. Mike Kimbro, who represented Polanco at the review board hearings, testified that Polanco had probably forgotten the statement because he considered it unimportant. VITA program helps low-income taxpayers Joo-Eun Chi Daily Texan Staff Kicking off the 1993 tax season, A ustin M ayor Bruce Todd and members of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program welcomed about 15 lower-income citizens to the Twin Oaks Library Tuesday for free tax-form assistance. A bout six v o lu n teers — all Internal Revenue Service agents — performed the tax service. Jamie Stewart, a VITA program vo lu n teer, said the service has been p ro v id e d natio n ally for alm ost 26 years and has helped over 10,000 people since 1992. The average tax refund for participants is $913, she said. Brenda Branch, Twin Oaks Library division chairwoman, said people were notified of the service through fliers and word of mouth. Lupe Gomez, an Austin citizen, said she had never used the VITA program before this year, but said she was pleased with the service. "I heard about the program by coming to the library and reading a flier," Gomez said. She added that in the past, she has had to pay more than $20 to have her taxes done. Although most of the volunteers at the library w ere IRS agents, many volunteers are from other professions, including lawyers and students. Barth Timmermann, co-director of the UT VITA stu d e n t v olun­ teers, said 75 students from the UT School of Law have offered their services for Austin citizens. "They wanted to be of service ... the c o m m u n ity ," and help Timmermann said. Students are prepared for the VITA program through self-train­ ing and a two-hour class seminar. K urburski said stu d en ts w ho volunteer also have the possibility of being hired by the IRS after graduation. "Many volunteered for a good feeling and satisfactio n , b u t it doesn't look bad on résumés." Chris Coleman, spokesman for the UT Beta Alpha Psi, said mem­ bers of the accounting fraternity have volunteered for the VITA program as an optional part of ini­ tiation. Russ Fox and his m other Beverly Fox, who were waiting to do their federal 1040E forms, said they were pleased with the service and "h ap p y that it do esn 't cost anything." Legislators considering initiative, referendum Doris Quan Daily Texan Staff Texas citizen s m ay be able to change the Constitution and pro­ posed legislation by petition if the Texas Legislature approves a reso­ lution announced by a public policy group Tuesday. The measure, backed Texans for Initiative and Referendum, would allow citizens to turn petitions in to the secretary of state at least 60 days before a legislative session begins if they would like to change a bill to be considered during the session. The resolution's referendum section would allow citizens to repeal a law the Legislature has approved. A dis­ senting group could apply for peti­ tion up to 180 days after the last day of the legislative session du rin g which the law was enacted. James Meadows, a spokesman for the group, said he did not know w hen the p lan — H ouse Joint Resolution 29 — would be voted on, since the pro p o sal is w aitin g to undergo scrutiny from the House. "If it is presented properly, [legis­ lators] can see that this is a reform process," Meadows said. "I think the people who will feel threatened are the lobbyists, because they have a nice system today." State Rep. Talmadge Heflin, R- Houston, said the number of signa­ tures required for public petitions is undetermined, but will be between 4 percent and 25 percent of the pop- u latio n of Texas, w ith d ifferen t areas of the state represented even- "T he n u m b er of sig n a tu re s sh o u ld be at a th re sh o ld high enough to show [the petitioners] are serious," said Heflin, a co-author of the resolution. Legislators, according to the plan, could then revise the b ills and resu b m it them to the H ouse. However, the Legislature could still pro p o se its ow n version, w hich w ould go on the ballot w ith the petitioners' version. The bill receiv­ ing the most votes would then be enacted into law.

D irector R obert P ierson b rin g s the stark incongruities of P in ter's script to the stage with a great deal of class. The entire p ro d u c tio n is bare bones, stripped to its essence — in th is case, th e la n g u a g e . Pierson's actors use the script as a s o rt of score, tu n in g in to each other's patterns, repeating them es and vocal patterns m uch as m usi­ cians do. Pinter's script is perfectly designed for such an approach, and Pierson loses nothing in his inter­ pretation of it. Pinter uses language patterns to show their use in brutality. Beckett, on the other hand, uses language to show how we make structure out of a n o th e rw is e illo g ic a l u n iv e rse . U sing the trio of actor, text, and audience, Beckett forcefully m anip­ ulates his audience into seeing the chaos in hum an perceptions. That Tim e riv ets one in place. An old m an's face, unspeaking but spoken for by taped monologues, illuminat­ ed by a single shaft of light, rocks back and forth in the blackness that surrounds him. His face shifts with his emotions, connected — or p er­ haps not — by the varying events related on the tapes. As the image of this old m an's face b u m s itself into your eyes, you begin to realize that whatever meaning you make of this face, this monologue, is of your cre­ ation entirely. There is no plot struc­ tu re in That Tim e, o nly w h a t the audience member brings to it in her interpretation of the perform ance. The only clue given to the meaning of the play are the m om ents when the tape stops running, the flow of w ords ceases, and the actor opens his eyes to sta re in h o rro r at th e blackness confronting him. He then s h u ts h is eyes tig h tly , a n d th e w ords begin again, closing out the void around him. George Franklin is m esm erizing as the old man, a difficult feat since he has no dialogue and little bodily m o v em en t. H is face is u n fo rg e t­ table, shifting w ith the tide of the old m an 's experience in a flux w ords. P ierso n 's touch is light i this short play, yet he seems to ha again em phasized the important e < language in this play.
