The physics freshm an was investigated by the FBI and Secret Service last semester for filing an open records request for m aps of steam tunnels beneath the campus. Now, another of his requests has caused the state attorney general's office to sue itself. In a complaint filed over the summer, the UT System — repre­ sented by the attorney general's lit­ igation division — sued the agency for upholding M iller's request for documents regarding webcams in classrooms. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's name appears in the peti­ tion both as the plaintiff's lawyer and as the defendant. The lawsuit seeks to seal the information "in light of the sensi­ tive nature of the requested infor­ mation and the compelling inter­ ests that would be compromised by disclosure," according to the petition. A bbott's office not only enforc­ es open records law s for state agencies, it also represents the in court. This sam e agencies arrangem ent som etim es m akes the agency take the aw kw ard step of suing itself. UT legal officials and attor­ ney general officials could not be reached for comment. "I'm stubborn," Miller said of his habit of asking UT officials for sometimes obscure information. "The fact they're so resistant to giving [information] makes it more interesting." Miller said he asked UT officials why the webcams exist but never was given a satisfactory explana­ tion. He previously asked for, and received, a list of webcams. A security systems engineer told the Texan last year that these cam­ eras keep watch over large lec­ ture halls and expensive classroom equipment. Abbott's decision, dated July 1, upheld Miller's request on a tech­ nicality: The University missed its 10-business day deadline for ask­ ing Abbott to rule on the request.

Lockheed M artin's exit from the bidding m ight be an indicator of the excessive cost and energy needed to manage the nation's largest nuclear laboratory, said Lee Peddicord, vice chancellor for research and fed­ eral relations for the A&M System. A & M is still interested in manag­ ing the lab, Peddicord said, but wanted to "think twice" about the costs involved. "The Lockheed Martin announce­ ment is really an indication about how complicated the full situation is with Los Alamos. We just saw' that as a sign this needs a lot of thought," Peddicord said. "We're going to work more slowlv on this, and wre're not going to rush to a decision." If the A&M System bids on the contract, it would likely be in a partnership with another group, Peddicord said. Both the A&M System and Lockheed Martin submitted formal expressions of interest to run the lab, along with The University of Texas System, the University of California System and nine other private companies. In early August, Lockheed Martin decided to scrap its bid after considering the high cost of maintaining operations at the lab. The U.S. Department of Energy the ow ns Los Alamos, University of California has m an­ aged the lab since 1943.

Coming from a friend's party on 29th and San Gabriel streets, he was heading to Wendy's to get some food. Clad in a baseball cap, blue shirt, khakis and two Hawaiian leis, he looked like he had just been having fun. But then, driving his car southbound on San Jacinto Boulevard, he ran a stop sign at 24th Street. A smear of lights and sirens; the kind any driver dreads. By the time the kinesiol­ ogy sophomore had parked his white Camaro in front of the Texas Exes b uilding weekend enjoyment was probably the last thing on his mind. As a UTPD officer walked up to the side of his car, Depuma knew it w ouldn't get better. He rolled down the window of his car and faced the officer. "Kinda smells like you've been drinking tonight," UTPD Officer Adrian Slaymaker told Depuma. The fun ended. Fast.

This figure is 7,000 more than the Cotton Bowl, and for the countless fans who are forced to stay home during Texas- OU weekend because of lack of seating, this could mean 7,000 more chances to score a ticket. According to both schools' athletic departments, this could potentially be a future site of the game, though both sides agree that it is too early to tell. "N othing said Doug is definite," Messer, associate athletics director for the University. City officials are concerned about losing tax dollars and a tradition if the game is moved. Students and fans have traveled to Fair Park in dow ntow n Dallas to watch the football gam e between the University and the University of Oklahoma every fall since 1929. "This is the hom e for the Red River Shootout. There is no other place for it, and no other place like it," said Crayton Webb, the chief of staff for Dallas Mayor Laura Miller. "We will be very aggressive in keeping the Texas-OU game in Dallas," Webb said. "We have no intention of losing the Red River Shootout. We want to keep it here. We think fans w ant it to be here."

UT student's fast hands break Smartie pick-up record By C lin t Jo h n so n Daily Texan Staff W ith chopsticks poised for attack and a Japanese ban­ dana tied tight around his head, undeclared freshman Ken Tran eyed his plateful of Smarties. Ken emerged Seemingly undaunted by a blaring Star Wars theme and 50 fans jockeying for a bet­ ter view, he sought to bring one world record back to the United States on Friday night. from the candy dust three minutes later as the new Guinness World Record holder for the most Smarties eaten with chop­ sticks in under three minutes. His 190 shattered the previ­ ous record of 138, held by England's Kathryn Ratcliffe, a soft-spoken 14-year-old. Ken's father, Chau Tran, quickly embraced his son, unable to hide his pride and excitement. But the younger Fran's joy was immediately tempered with a hint of dis­ appointment. "1 was hoping to bust 200," he said. Ken said he broke 200 in his three weeks of training, but because of health concerns, he was only able to spend three minutes per day practicing. "Eating that many Smarties does a number on your diges­ tive system," he said. Ken said he developed a slight case of acne and gained about three pounds. He said it didn't take long to develop his signature "side-scooping" style. "I like to go from the side, because the angle of attack is better," Ken said. "The goal is to get as much wood on the Smarties as possible." Once Ken's number is certified by Guinness, it will replace one that is less than a year old. Ratcliffe ate 138 on Oct. 25, only 24 days after Jim Hager of Oakland, Calif., set the bar at 115. Ratcliffe had been the champion with 112 for about 10 months before that. Ratcliffe took the news of Ken's attempt calm ly and said she w ill probably try again in November, but Hager said he is finished with trying to beat the record. Ken said he w ill not attempt the feat again unless his num­ ber is beaten, but he does not expect that to happen soon. He said much of his advan­ tage lies with his Chinese eth­ nicity. "I'v e been using chopsticks my whole life," he said. Hager agreed that experi­ ence is a major factor in the competition. " I had chopsticks as a sec­ ond language, but I thought if an Asian person tried it, they could really blow that number out of the water," Hager said. A ll three said they attempt­ ed the feat mostly on a whim. Hager said he stumbled upon the contest at a street fair, and Ratcliffe said she saw a Guinness advertisement when she was 12 and decid­ ed to "have a go at it." But Ken said he had visions of becoming a world champi­ on from the moment he saw the record. "I just looked at the num­ ber, which was 138, and I was like, 'You knowr what, I can beat this,"' Ken said. His father had a slightly different explanation. "I think he has too much extra time," Chau said. Ken The three candy warriors each said they do not hold any other records and have no immediate plans to go after others. A fter contacted Guinness about his attempt, the W orld Book of Records publishers sent him a page of rules and official docu­ ments to be submitted. The contestant must keep one hand behind his back and pick up only one candy at a time. In addition, the attempt requires two counters, two signed witnesses, one timer and a video cameraman. Am id cheers and a chant of "190," the new champion looked around his kitchen for the perfect item to com­ plete the victory — a pint of Guinness.

The campaign, organized by the independent, nonprofit Singapore Children's Society, is "to create an awareness of bullying through cre­ ative competition and to advocate harmonious and mutually respectful living among students," the society said on its Web site. The Straits Times newspaper said "Bully Free Week" starts Sept. 13 and will be counting on "SMS-keen teens" to spread the anti-bullying message. Students will be encouraged to send a common "Be cool, be bully- free" message to their friends, the paper said. During the campaign, the society will organize forums and talks for students to discuss bullying.

The city and county are still discussing how much each will contribute. Opposition for the district, which was approved in a city-wide vote on May 15, was due to the possibil­ ity of tax hikes, especially for those county residents outside of Austin. Most of the financial burden for running many publicly owned hospitals falls on the shoulders of Austin residents. While the hospital district's board of managers hopes to find different sources of increased funding for the hospitals, they are planning on implementing an even tax on all county residents. — Becky Moseley W eb Editor: onlineeditor@dailytexanonline.com Retail A dvertising: (512) 471-1865 retail@maii. tsp.utexas.edu Classified A dvertising: (512) 471-5244 dassified@mail. tsp.utexas.edu The Texan strives to present information fairly, accurately a completely.

Com piled from Associated Press reports. By D avid Royse Th e Associated Press the ST. MARKS, Fla. — Frances Florida crow ded into P anhandle on Monday, tak­ ing another swing at a storm- weary state where it already had knocked out power to 6 million people, tom up roofs and boats, and been blamed for at least four deaths. While Panhandle residents rode out the tropical storm's heavy rain and wind blowing at a sustained 65 mph, shutters started coming down in the south, and residents started returning to homes they had evacuated. The return revealed fresh hard­ ship as motorists waited for gaso­ line in queues that stretched more than 200 cars long, and others stood in enorm ous lines to get water, ice and other basic sup­ plies. "We really hope to get ice and everything else. We don't know what they have in there," said Christine Bland, standing in line with about 1,500 other people at a Wal-Mart in Palm Beach County. Up the coast in Fort Pierce, hundreds of people stood in a line with buckets and ice chests on a sunny, steamy afternoon. The core of the storm, once a powerful Category 4 hurri­ cane before it slowed somewhat, slammed into the state's Atlantic coast early Sunday. After crossing the state and a comer of the Gulf of Mexico, it made its second Florida landfall at St. Marks, 20 miles south of Tallahassee, early M onday after­ noon. At 2 p.m. EDT, Frances had maximum sustained wind near 65 mph. Forecasters said Frances could bring up to 10 inches of rain and a five- to 10-foot storm surge to the Panhandle. Four coastal counties ordered evacuations. Linda Sellars worried about her property as she and her husband retreated inland from their home on a spit of land that sticks out into the gulf near Panacea. "I worked the last three weeks in the yard," she said. "I'm going to be really upset if it blows my yard away." Streets were deserted in the Panhandle town of Apalachicola, where most businesses closed and some were boardt d up. The storm 's w ind and low pressure had sucked water out to sea away from the Big Bend, Florida's "elbow" where the pen­ insula joins the Panhandle. "There was no water on the gulf along the Taylor County coastline as far as you could see," county emergency management director Roy Woods said. Frances was moving north- northw est at about 8 mph, forecasters said, and bound for Georgia and Alabama.

Car bomb kills seven Marines By Kim H ousego T he Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — A suicide attacker sped up to a U.S. mili­ tary convoy outside Fallujah and detonated an explosives-packed vehicle Monday, killing seven Marines and three Iraqi soldiers, U.S. military officials said. It was the deadliest day for American forces in four months. The force of the blast on a dusty stretch of wasteland nine miles north of Fallujah, a hotbed of Sunni insurgents, wrecked two H um vee vehicles and hurled the suicide car's engine far from the site, witnesses and military offi­ cials said. The bom bing underscored the challenges U.S. com m and­ ers face in securing Fallujah and surrounding Anbar province, the heartland of a Sunni Muslim insurgency bent on driving coali­ tion forces from the country. U.S. forces have not patrolled in Fallujah since ending a three- week siege of the city in April that had been aimed at rooting out militiamen. Insurgents have only strengthened their hold on Fallujah since then. M eanw hile, Interior Ministry said medical tests con­ firmed that Iraqi authorities had once again mistakenly reported the capture of ousted dicta­ tor Saddam Hussein's depiity, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, putting a stop to two days of conflicting statements about his purported arrest. the M inistry spokesm an Sabah Kadhim said unspecified tests had shown that a man being held in Iraqi custody was actually a relative of al-Douri who played only a m inor role in Saddam's regime b ut was nevertheless wanted by authorities. The reports on al-Douri — the most wanted Saddam-era hench­ man still at large — came as an em barrassm ent to interim Prime M inister Ayad Allawi's gov­ ernment and exposed a lack of coordination am ong ministers competing for influence ahead of January elections. With M onday's deaths, 990 U.S. service members have died since the beginning of military operations in March in Iraq 2003, according to a count by The Associated Press based on Defense D epartm ent figures. Three soldiers were wounded Monday in a roadside bombing in eastern Baghdad. After the suicide blast outside Fallujah, west of the capital, m ed­ ical teams in helicopters ferried away the injured from the blazing wreckage and troops sealed off the area. Fallujah hospital officials said four Iraqis were wounded by gunfire from U.S. troops near the site of the bombing, but the U.S. military had no confirmation. inhum anity," but The military condemned the bombing as "a desperate act insisted of American troops will stay the course in Iraq until local forces are in a position to take over security operations.

Bauer Emma Graves Fitzsimmons JJ Hermes Bryant trial sends wrong message to victims VIEWPOINT Kobe Bryant's accuser dropped her criminal rape charges against the basketball star Wednesday after more than a year of public humiliation as her character was assassinated on a national stage. The prosecution ham m ered the w om an — w hose nam e w as leaked through cou rt docu ­ m ents — about her sexual his­ tory and m ental health, por­ traying her as a prom iscuous gold-digger in the court of pub­ lic opinion. The press reported that past suicide attem pts and prescription drug use would not be adm issible as evidence, although they w ere fair gam e for new spaper headlines. Then, the judge abandoned C olorado's rape shield law s in allow ing the prosecution to consider her sex­ ual encounters during the three days su rrounding the Bryant incident. The case's abrupt ending has prompted analysts and activists to draw conclusions on how the 14-month spectacle reflects our broader culture, resurrect­ ing the O.J. Simpson lesson that pow er and m oney override the legal system and encouraging A m ericans to end their idealiza­ tion of celebrities. But the most alarm ing result 4A Tuesday, S eptem ber 7, 2004 SG supports rezoning initiative By Brent Chaney Daily Texan Guest Columnist Andrew Dobbs' column pub­ lished Sept. 3, "W est Cam pus students ben efits rezoning despite SG opposition," was irresponsible and inaccurate. Student Governm ent sup­ ported West Campus rezoning. I am a member of the Board of the University Area Partners, the group that wrote and orga­ nized the rezoning plan. 1 helped draft amendments to the plan and ensured the best interests of students were represented. SG supported and still supports the plan as evidenced by the passage of AR 3 unanimously April 27. T he plan approved su rrounding by University Area Partners and neighbor­ the hood associations included a reasonable 80-percent parking requirem ent. We know what a nightmare pa-king is in the University area; bringing great­ er population density with less parking to the area is absurd and shortsighted. To suggest that less parking will result in less cars is like suggesting that no roof will result in no rain. This fight is not about the environm ent or rewiring stu­ dents' dependence on automo­ biles; it is about the developers' bottom line. The less parking mandated by City Council, the less developers have to spend on parking for students. The devel­ opers fought against the 80 per­ cent requirement, but Student Government protected students' interests and ensured it was in the plan submitted to Austin City Council. SG put in count­ less hours this summer speaking with City Council members and making sure they were aware of students' concerns. At no time has SG opposed West Campus rezomng. representatives, Unfortunately, C ouncilm an B rew ster M cC racken, w ho pledged his support for stu­ dent parking when he met with SG reversed his position and decided that there should be no minimum. He led the effort to drop the parking requirement to 60 per­ cent in spite of opposition from neighborhood associations and students. W hile supporting all other parts of the plan, SG fought to put the 80 percent parking back into the plan, because students came to us with three major con­ cerns. First, there are no major grocery stores in West Campus, and the nearest affordable gro­ cery store is HEB at Hancock Center. If you have ever tried riding the bus with a week's worth of groceries, you know it's no easy task. The rezoning plan provides for grocery stores to be built in West Campus, but it is unknown whether the develop­ ment of the area will actually allow a grocery store with the selection and lower prices stu­ dents need. Second, many students work, and some of these students argue that they cannot get to work by walking, riding their bikes or even taking a bus. Inadequate parking should not discriminate against working students living in West Campus. Finally, many students from small towns need a car to get home. They can't rely on a con­ venient bus or airplane service like students from large met­ ropolitan areas, and even rides from hometown friends may be limited. No, West Campus needs to be for all students. SG will continue to work on this issue as the plan is implemented to encourage a rational and respon­ sible approach by developers. As a former SG agency direc­ tor, Dobbs knows that SG wel­ comes student involvement and input. However, publishing inac­ curate information is misleading to students and a disservice to the University we serve. I am glad to report that we have lis­ tened to students and followed through to make West Campus rezoning a reality. Chaney is the Student Government president and an English junior.

Tuesday, September 7, 2004 N e w s DWI: New law will add surcharge to license ing glassy eyes, usually fumbling with their wallets and smelling of alcohol. "They kind of look like a deer in headlights," he said. it w as But now for Depuma to face three standard­ ized field sobriety tests. time First, Stock conducted the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, an eye-tracking test using a pen which he said is designed to look for slightly twitching eyes caused from the consumption of alcohol. Stock then demonstrated the w alk-and-tum test: nine steps counted out loud and walked heel-to-toe, without using arms for balance and an about-face turn in the middle. Depuma com ­ plied, first taking off his sandals and counting audibly to nine. Stock also asked Depuma to stand on one leg for as long as possible, counting out loud by "one-thousand one, one-thou­ sand two' seconds of balance. But no luck. When he finished, Stock that informed Depum a he had failed all three tests and turned him around to place him in cuffs. His driver's license was taken away, and backup officer Vivian Benavidez searched for any weapons or handcuffs. I nailed tests," those "B ut Depuma said. Interviewed a few days later, Depuma said he didn't expect the arrests. "I was surprised they took me in. I felt like I passed all those sobriety tests." Before and after the arrest D epum a's night started as innocently. He was like many just try­ other young people, ing to have a good time, either at a friend's party or maybe a trip downtown. Many service industry em ployees said they are aware of the possibility that some of their customers may end up drunk behind a vehicle. "Every person is treated as a driver," said Will Rowsey, bar­ tender and m anager at Cain & Abel's Bar and Grill. To decrease drunken driving, R ow sey. frequently calls cabs for his customers. On a typi­ cal Tuesday night, when Cain & Abel's sells $1 domestic beers, Rowsey said he could call up to 15 cabs for people. But there have been times when he has called the police if intoxicated customers insisted on driving. "If we know them, we take the keys and don't let them drive," said Rowsey. "For everyone else, w e're here to get them a cab." Bartenders like Rowsey nor­ mally witness the beginning of a night on the town, but oth­ ers like Tracy Auldridge see the end. Auldridge, of Bail Bonds by Barbara, doles out the cash need­ ed to get someone out of jail. Family or friends over the age of 21 typically pay for a percent­ age of the bond, Auldridge said. The bond agent then meets the person in jail, and they post the bond amount for the subject's release. According to Sgt. Alex Leo at Austin City Jail's central booking, DUI and first-time offenders like Depuma are usually letouton their own accord, on a personal recog­ nizance bond. During an inter­ view with the jail magistrate, Leo said a subject must be employed, reside in Travis County and give references. Subjects also have their cnminal history checked, he said, and the $20 bond must be paid within seven days. "P R 's pretty quick on that; it gets them in and out," Auldridge said. "It's such a routine down there." Bonds for DW Is can run from $1,500 to nearly $10,000, Auldridge said, but it depends on how many DWIs are previously on their record. If the person let out of jail does not pay, a bail bondsman could hire a bounty hunter, she said. But it can take up to three months before the bondsman obtains a warrant, and that doesn't normally happen for a misdemeanor, she said. Legal and m oney issues long after con tin u in g issues Even out of jail, possible offenders still face legal battles. Austin attorney Betty Blackwell said DUIs are considered traf­ fic violations tried in municipal court, while DWI cases are crimi­ nal cases tried in Travis County Court at Law. "There's a huge difference between a criminal conviction and a DUI traffic ticket," she said. DW Is can end in sentences of up to six months in jail and usually have a two-year proba­ tion sentence, consisting of a $400 probation fine, 60 hours of community service and court- ordered alcohol assessm ents. Blackwell said the entire cost of a DWI could add up to $2,000. And in a move by the state Legislature last year, Texans could soon be paying more for each driving-related offense they rack up, similar to points systems in New Jersey and New York. The law adds a surcharge to the driver's license of anyone with a drinking-related offense. For a first DWI, a driver could pay $1,000 each year for three vears. Department of Public Safety has not enforced the law vet, but Blackwell warns it may start in October or November. "N ot to mention insurance going through the roof," she said. "A ll of that is awful." Though DUIs are a lesser charge, different sentences could mean split aftermaths. B la ck w e ll reco m m en d s for DUI deferred disposition defendants, because an offender could have the arrest cleared from their record after turning 21, as long as no other alcohol- related offenses are committed. Legal Services for Students, within the Dean of Students office, provides consultation for those seeking such clearings, called expunctions. Attorney Thomas Butler said students can come in for walk-in consultations and only pay for filing fees. As well as dealing with a pos­ sible criminal record, UT students charged with a drunken-driving related offense also face academ­ ic penalties like suspension if the offense violates University poli­ cy. According to a section in UT legislation, the office of the Dean of Students may independently investigate disciplinary action if a student uses or possesses alcohol without authorization on UT-owned property. John Dalton, the director of Student Judicial Services and assistant dean of students, said the Dean of Students office does not distinguish driving while intoxi­ cated from other alcohol-related offenses. SJS conducts its own investigation from UTPD refer­ rals, which can sometimes lead to suspension. Dalton said stu­ dents must also have an alcohol assessment through University Health Promotions, a sector of the University's Health Services. Last fall, 11 students referred by the Dean of Students went through the Choices regular pro­ gram under Health Promotions. However, H ealth Prom otions does not offer the court-ordered alcohol education requirement for driving offenses in Texas. Alcohol Awareness m eetings, which may be required by a judge for DWI offenses, are held four times a week on campus, said Chuck Roper, health educa­ tion coordinator. Roper said their resources are not only available for those man­ dated to attend alcohol education but for any who show symptoms of alcohol or drug abuse. The Center for Students in Recovery, a new program added this fall, also provides group sessions for those who are within the recov­ ering stages of overcoming alco­ hol or drug addiction. 12:54 a.m. Placed in the back of a police car, Depuma remained only a dark silhouette against the back window. For the six minutes it took to drive through the quiet streets downtown, he remained soundless, except for a faint moan of "m y car..." as the tow truck arrived tem porarily claim his white Camaro. to The UTPD cruiser pulled up to the downtown jail and waited in front of massive green doors. After receiving clearance through a restricted area, the car nosed up to a parking space and into a lighted lot. The back door opened and Depuma struggled to climb out, restrained by his cuffs. He was then taken by the arm, buzzed in and walked through a pair of large sliding doors. "I didn't realize how big of a deal it was until you're sitting in front of a judge handcuffed to a guy [in] for assault or some­ thing," Depuma said later about the experience. But he still plans to keep his social life, he said. He just w on't drive again if he has been drinking. "O ne thing I learned is that it can happen to m e," he said. "I'm not going back to jail." 5A LAWSUIT: AG on both sides of case From page 1 to seek protection of responsive d ocum ents," according to the petition, which cites three open records exceptions from state law. In particular, the System's peti­ tion claims an unresolved lawsuit over another request puts some of what Miller wanted off limits. That request, filed by The Daily Texan in 2002, was for locations and operating hours of surveil­ lance cameras. But in that dispute between Abbott and U T officials, a private firm is representing the System. M iller's experiences with tun­ nels and cameras show how the University's open records stanc­ es take fears of terrorism into account. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 put "critical infra­ structure" information, which might include tunnel maps, out of the reach of the federal Freedom of Information Act. Such laws m ade Lyndon Baines Johnson Library archivists remove plans of a dam from public shelves. UT arguments against requests about surveillance cameras, bio­ logical agents and underground tunnels sometimes invoked the USA Patriot Act and the phrase "national security." After M iller's for inforamation about tunnels, fed­ eral agents visited the cam pus to study its vulnerabilities. Some UT officials have said this meet­ ing was how the Austin Joint Terrorism Task Force becam e aware of the request. request "Frankly, I have a level of con­ cern about providing that infor­ mation about campus integrity," Steven Kraal, associate vice pres­ ident of cam pus planning and facilities m anagement, said of the tunnel maps. "I think that we have a significant asset that can be compromised if the informa­ tion was made generally avail­ able." From page 1 made 26 alcohol-related driving arrests by June 2004, more than in any previous years, said police records administrator Roxanne Hodgins. In 2003, UTPD made 24 alcohol-related arrests, com­ pared to 18 in 2002. UTPD typi­ cally covers the UT campus and UT-owned property in Austin, such as the UT System building and Pickle Research Center. O fficer W illiam Pieper said the increased num bers of arrests could be due to a variety of fac­ tors, including more officers undergoing extensive training through the police academy. UT PD will not be the only law enforcement agency on the look­ out. With 43 alcohol-related traffic fatalities so far this year, Austin Police Department said its vigi­ lance will increase with the help of its DWI Enforcement Team. “We're very concerned about drinking with younger driv­ ers/' said Highway Enforcement Com m ander David Carter, add­ traffic ing that football-gam e and thoroughfares to Austin- area lakes would be part of the heightened patrol. In Texas, Driving Under the Influence is defined as a minor operating any motor vehicle in a public place with any detectable amount of alcohol and classi­ fied as a Class C m isdemean­ or. D riving W hile Intoxicated involves operating a m otor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated and is a Class B mis­ demeanor. DUIs apply only to minors, but drivers under the age of 21 can also commit DWIs if their alcohol content is over the legal limit of .08. T im e for sob riety tests A fter obtaining D epu m a's information, Slaym aker and fel­ low UTPD officer Robert Stock asked him to step out of the car and onto the sidewalk, facing the cameras inside the police cruiser. Stock has been on the UTPD force for tw o-and-a-half years and is known throughout the departm ent as aggressive in searching for alcohol or drug- impaired drivers, other police officers said, calling it Stock's “niche." "I excel in identifying [those] people," Stock said. "I believe it's important and most hazardous." He said running red lights and stop signs late at night are key indicators of driving under the influence.

T h e D \ i l \ T e x \ n 6A Tuesday, S eptem ber 7, 2004 l\ Teaching war strategy Course gets personal with UT professor just back from Iraq By Jeff Squire Daily Texan Staff War g am e s com m enced M onday for 13 juniors enrolled in 1C 357, a Plan II seminar in mili­ tary history and strategy. After waiting for its professor to return from Iraq, the course finally began late this sem ester with a Labor Day m akeup class. Austin Bay, who has a doctor­ ate in English and comparative literature from Columbia, uses his militar}' background to teach strategy. He returned on Friday from a four-month tour in Iraq, where he served as a military planner for a multinational divi­ sion in Baghdad. Bay said he retired as a colonel from the U.S. Army reserves a year ago, then the Army recalled him from retirement. " I he hardest job in a democ­ racy is taking on a machine gun test, but w e've gotta have people doing that if you want to protect a democracy," Bay said. "It's the d am truth, and I saw it again these four months over in Iraq." While there, Bay produced commentaries for National Public Radio, as he has since 1998. H e's currently finishing his seventh book and w'nting his nationally syndicated national security col­ umn, which he analyzes with his students each year to illustrate the strategic writing process. He said his column allow s him to tell his students to "D o as I do, as well as I say." "I think the students like the fact that here's Dr. Bay out there, doing it every week," Bay said. Thecourse's title — Oxymorons That M ake History M ilitary Creativity, Military Intelligence, War Gam es, and the Formulation of Strategy — is a bit deceiving, Bay said. "It's really not a war gam es class, in the classic sense. It's a strategy class." Aside from discussing his col­ umns, the class primarily analyzes w ar history. "We basically went over the im portant m ilitary advan ces in strategy and warfare tactics throughout history," said Lyn Reinhardt, a Plan II senior who took B ay's class last semester. "We also looked at some of the political dynam ics that shape the situations." However, the class participates in a few w ar-gam ing workshops, including a paper reenactment of the WWII Battle of the Bulge. Lindsey Foster, an interna­ tional business and Plan II senior, described the gam e as a more com­ plicated version of RISK, a popu­ lar war-strategy board game. "It w as hard to get everything started, because it w as kind of complicated with all these rules, but it w as a lot of fun for the class," said Foster. "1 did OK. Once you got the hang of it, it w as really easy to do." By Sophie Chen Daily Texan Staff Friday w as a cloudy day at the Children's Hospital of Austin, but 10-year-old Christy D aggs, who had an injured ankle, show ed a shining smile when she learned that Longhorn football players were coming to visit. "1 am a big fan of them," she said as she pointed to her Longhorn cap. It's a seven-year tradition for players to visit the hospital the Friday before home games. Players arrived at 1:30 p.m. and met children in the central lobby. Many were excited but couldn't run to greet the players because they had to walk with canes, sit in wheelchairs or lie in wagons. Players had their pictures taken with children and gave out posters, autographs and training cards. After interacting with children in the lobby the players split into groups to visit patients unable to leave their rooms.

"We have been in the hospital since Wednesday, and he is the happiest today," said his grand­ mother Mary Roper. For many players, it w as not their first time to visit the hospital. David Pino, a kinesiology senior and football player, has partici­ pated in the event since 2002. "M v father is a doctor in Wichita Falls. I understand what's going on with the kids here," Pino said. "Little kids alw ays look up to older ones, especially when they are ill." www.dailytexanonline.com University Editor: Clint Johnson Phone:(512) 232-2206 Business senior Brad W rig ht listens as A ustin Bay H istory: M ilita ry C reativity, M ilita ry Joe Buglewitz | Daily Texan Staff lecture d u rin g O xym orons That Make In te llig e n ce , War Games, and F o rm u la tio n o f Strategy. leads a Bay produced military training exercises as a student at the U.S. War College and as a consultant at the Pentagon. H e's published two board game-stvle w ar gam es like the one he uses in his class: Light Infantry Division and Arabian Nightmare.

Torres Daily Texan Staff A white party tent billowed over the remains of a building on the com er of 21st and San Antonio streets. It shaded an estim ated 300 Jewish benefac­ tors, leaders and student partici­ pants who gathered Sunday to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new building, which is planned to be completed next August. UT President Larry Faulkner, w earing an orange kippa, a Jew ish head covering, w el­ comed the crowd on behalf of the University. He w as followed by UT System Chancellor Mark Yudof, who is Jewish and con­ tributed financially to the new building. His address outlined Hillel history, explaining how one of its first leaders, Rabbi Ben 1 rankel, rented a room over a barbershop in Chicago in 1923 to provide Jew ish students at the University of Illinois a place to connect. "It's im portant for students to feel they are a citizen of the University," Yudof said, "But there has to be som e of their roots on cam pus ... great univer­ sities have to offer the multicul­ tural experience." Yudof said he w as surprised that so many people showed up for the event and said it dem ­ onstrated that the Jewish com ­ munity across the state is behind Hillel. After 55 years, Texas Hillel Foundation for Jewish Life, an organization that serves a Jewish population of approxim ately 4,000 at the University, has out­ grown its old facilities. The new center will include a kosher caf­ eteria, coffee shop, courtyard, patio recreational facilities and meeting space. Hillel leasing is currently the third floor of a neighboring Baptist church's administrative building while its new facilities are being constructed. They have used the space before, when their own building proved too small. Over the last six years, 125 contributors have p led ged $6 leadership m illion under the of philanthropist Mort Topfer. Some donations came from loca­ tions as far aw ay as Boston. Hillel supports the Birthright program, which sent 300 Jewish students to Israel in 1999. Last year, the organization sent 15 students to Argentina to learn about the Jew ish comm unity in South Am erica. They also hosted program s such as Israel Awareness Week, during which former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak spoke, and the "Big Fat Greek Seder," which attract­ ed fraternity and sorority stu­ dents to celebrate Passover. Each Friday Hillel invites stu­ dents to weekly Shabbat services and dinners, which draw an aver­ age of 200 students. Last Friday, 50 new freshmen attended. Although Hillel has been suc­ cessful in reaching its financial goal for the new building, it has yet to gather enough pledg­ the es to raise $5 million for "Endow m en t C am paign for Jewish Future," which leaders will use to support future pro­ gram m ing. hmJLMO N S Football players visit hospital Hillel breaks new ground w A F |lF L E H O U S 1E “ GOOD FOOD FAST" * * A U S T IN 'S O N L Y * * S A V E 10% OPEN 24 HOURS! 7809 E.

The students' involvement is part of G arza's Youth Action for Educational Change class, which encourages students to become ihvolved, said Dan Patrick, an 18- year-old senior. 'This class allow s u s to voice our opinions and change educa­ tional system s in Austin," said Patrick, who is one of 10 students in the class. "I don't think the old people and school boards know w hat's best for our school." Voters will be able to vote indi­ vidually on each of the six propo­ sitions that m ake up the bond. Two of the six authorize AISD to build new elementary and m id­ dle schools and purchase land for a district-wide perform ing arts center. One $53.9 million proposi­ tion is for increased security and extra parking, while the other two involve changes and repairs at existing schools. Garza students have researched each proposal, interviewed com­ munity leaders and prepared fli­ ers containing information about each of the six propositions. One student passed out information about the upcom ing election at local concert this weekend, a while others are presenting the information through public ser­ vice announcements, local radio show s and even presentations at their churches. G arza senior Paul De Jesus said he believes it is important to inform community members about the issues in the proposed bond. "It's going to affect the voung kids throughout their education, and we want to start them out right," De Jesus said. "A lot of money is involved, and we don't want to see it w asted." Students are given course cred­ it and a stipend for research, but som e said they don't just do it for the money or the credit. "I'm very interested in student issues, and we get paid," said Andy Peterson, a 17-year-old junior. "We do this because we w ant to improve the communi­ ty, and this is an opportunity to increase educational spending." 7A Tuesday, September 7, 2004 Dan Patrick, left, and Paul De Jesus, seniors at Garza Indepen­ dence High School, work on a pub­ lic service announce­ m ent to encourage students to vote. Their video will be shown at the school before the Channel 1 daily news broadcast. Shaun Stewart Daily Texan Staff DRINKING: Alcohol ¡S DALLAS: Game day makes $1.1 million for city < • . . ^ C r n m n t / i n 1 From page 1 if m oved, it w ould take tax dol­ lars generated from the weekend of the gam e and put them into Arlington's pocket. Council member Leo V. Chaney Jr. oversees District 7, where Fair Park is located. Gam e day gener­ ates around $1.1 million for Dallas, according to Chaney. He called the offer "a business decision." The money com es from the D allas City Convention and Events Services budget and will be divvied up between both schools as reimbursement for traveling expenses over the next fiv e vears. Each year, the schools will get about $62,000 apiece, but accord­ ing to Messer, the actual expenses for the w eekend's traveling are "probably greater" than that. During Texas-OU weekend, the University's athletics department pays for hotel and bus expenses for the team. This is in addition to paying for the traveling expenses for the more than 600 band mem­ bers, M esser said. Another option is to go to a hom e-hom e series, m eaning playing in Austin one year and Norm an the next. This also h as its potential prob­ lems, since both Austin and in Norm an are smaller cities than D allas with less to offer in hotel accommodations, not to mention smaller ticket allotments. "Both schools enjoy the meet­ ing at the stadium ," M esser said. "It's built on a great tradition, and no one is anxious to get aw ay from that." Along with money that will traveling costs, help defray improvements have been m ade on the Cotton Bowl stadium this year. About 1,000 more seats have been added, along with improved bathroom facilities. "We look forward to anv step D allas takes to make this a more positive experience," said Kennv M ossm an, athletics associate director for OU. M ore Yellow Bikes available widely banned From page l "The num ber of referrals had been very low over the last years," said John Dalton, the assistant dean of students and director of Student Judicial Services. "We met with UTPD cind asked them to do more to refer students." They cam e up with an im m ediate system , referral which involves the pairing of an SJS representative with a UTPD officer. When the officer encounters a UT student break­ ing University or state laws, Some are issued criminal cita­ tions, and all cases are im m edi­ ately handed over to SJS, UTPD officer William Pieper said. All violators, he said, are removed from the stadium . Pieper said University rules don't allow alcohol on cam pus or in the stadium , even for those older than 21. Once SJS takes over, the stu­ dent leaves the stadium and meets with an SJS representa- .tive in a "satellite office" located tin the northeast ticket office, ¡Dalton said. From there, SJS can ¡get more information about the {student and decide how to han- jdle the offense. j Expulsion, suspen sion and probation are the three levels of punishment, Dalton said. "The num ber of students referred from the dean spikes after every home gam e," said Chuck Roper, a health coor­ dinator of University Health Services. The University of K an sas doesn't want alcohol in their stadium either, said Schuyler Bailey, a KU Police Department captain. But he said police there don't refer students to cam pus administration. "Punishm ent could go any­ where from pouring it out to arrest," Bailey said. "Arrest is more the norm than pouring it out." Officers alw ays try to ask violators for compliance before choosing to arrest them, Bailey said. either, stadium The University of Oklahoma in does not allow alcohol their said Deborah Lozano, an OU Police Departm ent crime prevention officer. But violators who coop­ erate with officers, even minors, are allowed to dispose of their drinks and return to the game, she said. "More than likely, they won't get a ticket," Lozano said. "It's left up to the officer's discretion." Fans who are "in your face" or are caught with alcohol a sec­ ond time are asked to leave the stadium , Lozano said. She said student violators are referred to O U 's student judicial system. Texas Tech University reports students to the school's Center for C am pus Life, but only if an officer decides to ticket them. It's then up to administrators whether or not the student is punished, said Kenny Evans, a Texas Tech Police Department sergeant. Texas A&M University is less tolerant than people would think, said Allan Baron, a Texas A&M University Police Departm ent sergeant in their crime prevention unit. A letter is sent to the parents of students under 21 who are caught with alcohol. Students of any age could lose scholarships and become ineligible for lead­ ership positions, Baron said.

The DOE put m anage­ ment of Los Alam os up for bid­ ding for the first time in its histo­ ry in May 2003, citing continuing problems with security. Lockheed M artin already' m anages several other research laboratories, and the decision to refrain from bidding w as unre­ lated to recent security trouble at L o s Alam os, said company spokesm an David Jewell. "We chose to focus on cur­ rent projects," Jewel said. "The resources required to ... m anage the lab could create a strain on our ability'." The A&M System never had d iscu ssio n s with Lockheed Martin about subm itting a possi­ ble joint bid, but Peddieord said the system is still "very open" to teaming up with the UT System to run the laboratory. "Those contacts have been open, but no decisions have been m ade on either side," Peddieord said. "We see a team that would have the major Texas universi­ ties invoh'ed as a strong player for this." The UT System declined to comment Friday on the possibil­ ity of teaming up with A&M or any other group to run the lab.

Since making the change from the 3-3-4, Texas has scored 12 goals in three games and has improved its record to 3-1. Goalkeeper “The fourth midfielder has spurred our attack by giv­ ing us more players in their end," Petrucelli said. “It also helps on defense, because it keeps the ball in their end." For the second game in in a row, midfielder Nikki Thaden knocked the Longhorns' first goal of the game. Thaden, in much the same way as she did against Michigan, picked a ball out of mid-air and stuck it past Florida International goalie Carly Agro to give No. 13 Texas the early advantage. Shortly after, Kelly Wilson took a long ball from Caitlin Kennedy, made one move to the right of her defender and tucked a shot from the top of the penalty area into the lower right comer of the net. Wilson would score again in the second half, earning her eighth career multiple-goal game. Less than two minutes later, Kelsey Carpenter found the exact same cor­ ner o f the goal on a double assist from Thaden and Julie Gailey. Thaden earned her second consecutive three- point contest. W ith the game well in hand, the Longhorns came out firing in the second half. Karen Haight corralled a ball on the FIU side of midfield at the 56-minute mark. Haight dribbled up and played a give-and-go inside the pen­ alty box with Carpenter, who gave the ball back to Haight, who then stuck a shot in the back o f the net. The goal was the first of the defender's two-year career at Texas. “T h e coaches have empha­ sized attacking out of the backfield," Haight said.

Texas racked up 673 total yards (third-most in school history) and 29 first downs, while controlling the clock and keeping North Texas' defense on the field for over 36 minutes. "Obviously we have better players, but our guys did what we asked them to do," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. “The defense was good and tackled well, and we forced [three] turn­ overs because of our physical play. We're running and kicking better. We did what we needed to get done." The Longhorns dominated every facet of the game and physi­ cally overwhelmed North Texas with their veteran offensive line. On the Longhorns' first offensive play, senior Cedric Benson took a handoff from quarterback Vince Young, hopped through a gap and raced 38 yards for the season's opening touch­ down. Benson racked up 181 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.

Shaun S te w a rt | Daily rexan Staff Defense shuts down heralded running back, shuts out North Texas offense By Phillip Orchard Daily Texan Staff North Texas may have received a rude first impression of Texas' new defense, but that's the wav G reg Robinson likes it. When Robinson met his team last spring, he showed them a video o f his last game as the Kansas City Chiefs' defensive coordinator. It was a blowout loss, where their opponent never once had to punt — not a good first impression for the new defensive coordinator. But it also showed his players sw arm ing to the ball on the last play, despite the inevi­ table outcome. Their intensity paid off with fumble, and that, more than any­ thing else, was what Robinson wanted his new players to see. Saturday night, Robinson gave them a live example. “It was 58-0 in the fourth quarter, and he was still running up and dowrn the sideline coaching," junior defen­ sive tackle Rod Wright said. "W hen Opposition was weak, but results still prom ising DEFENSE continues on page 3 VOLLEYBALL ccn* nues on page 3B By P h illip Orchard Daily Texan Staff I know, it was only North Texas, but forgive m e for feeling good about this team. It took but one glance at the scoreboard Saturday night to see that this Texas team is differ­ ent than previous years. A score­ board that shows 65-0 usually says enough by itself. But true, it was against North Texas. True, they d id n 't score 70. True, they let North Texas punt­ er Brad Kadlubar have a career game. But, as head coach Mack Brow n said, “We got about everything out of an opening win that w e could get." And compared to other recent openers, the stats back up his claims. So let's just look at few num ­ bers that stuck out Saturday night to see why, for perhaps the first time since Brown arrived in Austin, everything is so far going according to plan. The North Texas running attack, led by last season's per game rushing leader Patrick Cobbs, squeaked out a m eager 38 yards on the ground. By com ­ parison, Longhorn running back Cedric Benson tallied 38 yards on the ground — on the first play from scnmmage. B y further c o m p a r is o n , b a c k ­ up Longhorn quarterback Matt N ordgren had, you guessed it, 38 yards rushing. Nordgren entered the gam e w ith nine career rush­ ing vards. Speaking of Cobbs — wrho, to his credit, played with a cast on his hand — h e ended up wnth -1 yard on eight carries before leav­ ing the gam e at halftime, exactlv 153.7 yards less than last year's nation-leading season average. By the end of the game, 11 Longhorns ran for more rushing yards than C obbs. Kadlubar, the punter, touched the ball three more tim es than Cobbs.

Sh a u n Ste w a rt | Daily Texan Staff Labor Doy shake up at Flushing NEW YORK — Venus Williams was grunting loudly, Lindsay Davenport was muttering to herself, and about 20,000 fans were jumping out of their seats after each point. A few hours before defending champion Justine Henin-Hardenne meekly left the U.S. Open with a loss to Nadia Petrova, Williams and Davenport were locked in a matchup fit for a Grand Slam final, not the fourth round. So, too, was the riveting last game. In the end, Davenport was slightly steadier and stronger, winning 7-5,6-4.

Singh shot a two- under-par 69 to beat Woods and Adam Scott in the Deutsche Bank Championship, clinching the No. 1 ranking in the world with his sixth vic­ tory of the year. Woods had been first for more than five years, since Aug. 8,1999. "That's not too bad, is it?" Woods asked. "I've had a good run."

Colorado back to business After an offseason that made the disappointing 2003 football season look like a walk in the park, the C olorado Buffaloes have been talking all spring about just getting get back on the field. But Saturday night, holding on to a small lead against Colorado State, the attitude was quite the opposite. "We were actually glad to get off the field Saturday night," Colorado coach Barnett joked. "W e ended up just holding on to win the game, and it was a tre­ mendous display of enthusiasm and spirit by our football team, but also by our fans and our stu­ dent body." For the first time in nearly a vear, the Colorado football team gave people something positive to talk about, and though the black eye has not been erased, the win may prove to be the first step in stopping the snowball of nega­ tivity rolling down the mountains of Boulder. "If something bad happened [Saturday], w e'd all feel bad today, but it was just good to w in," Barnett said. Notes: • Oklahoma State scored 31 points and beat UCLA despite only completing two passes the entire game. • Nebraska debuted its Bill Callahan-led West Coast offense, which included four touchdown passes. N ebraska did retain some running game though, as the Cornhuskers rushed for 363 yards. • Texas Tech proved that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Senior quarterback Sonny Cumbie attempted 66 pass­ es and threw for 470 yards in Texas Tech's 27-13 victory over SMU. B ig 1 2 Scoreboard Bowling Green 24 No. 2 Oklahom a 40 N.

W hen the dust settled from the opening weekend of the college football season, the Big 12 had four of the nation's five leading running backs. West V irginia's Kay-Jay H arris turned in the perform ance of the w eek, and likely the season, with his 337-vard effort against East C arolina. But O klahom a S tate's Vernand M orency (261 yards), K ansas State's D arren Sproles (221 yards), C olorad o's Bobby Purify (189 yards) and Texas' C ed ric Benson (182 yards) round out the top five respectively. "I think things sort of come and go. I think it may be the strength of the conference this year," Colorado head coach Gary Barnett said. "W e've got a lot of new quarterbacks in the league, and I think when that happens you sometimes revert back to the run gam e." O nly three Big 12 teams — Texas A&M, Baylor and Texas Tech — passed for more yards than they rushed, and 11 Big 12 running backs posted 100-yard performances. Peterson impresses, motivates in Sooner debut true O klahom a freshm an running back Adrian Peterson showed Saturday w hy he was the nation's highest-rated recruit coming out of high school. The Palestine native ran for 100 yards on 16 carries in his first college game, including a 35-vard touch­ down run in the third quarter that featured a punishing stiff- arm. "H e has that burst or speed that not a lot of people ha\ e Oklahom a coach Bob Stoops said. "H e's a strong gu\ that is only going to get stronger and he showed it on that run Peterson may have a greater contribution to the Sooner season than his numbers alone might indicate. His presence seems to have motivated starting running back Kejuan Jones, who could easily be replaced bv Peterson in the starting line-up if he fails to produce. Jones ran for a career- high 148 yards Saturday against Bowling Green. McNeal undergoes surgery Texas A&M junior quarterback Reggie McNeal suffered an undis­ closed injury to his non-throw­ ing thumb in the Aggies' 41-21 loss to No. 17 Utah on Thursday. McNeal underwent a minor sur­ gery Friday and returned to prac­ tice on Sunday. "H e is going to have some physical things to deal with, but that is what happens this time of year," Texas A&M head coach Dennis Franchione said. "I don't talk about injuries unless they are season-ending injuries." McNeal is expected to be under center for the Aggies' sea­ son opener against Wyoming on Saturday.

From page 1B saw an opportunity to take off and got a nice ball from Kelsey; all I had to do was finish." After a season-high 34-shot display, Texas would carry the momentum into a physical match with Loyola. The Longhorn defense allowed only eight shots in both games on the weekend, but the Greyhounds were able to convert two of the shots into scores. The majority of the first half was dom inated by the hom e squad. Texas kept the ball in Loyola's end and created m ul­ tiple scoring chances.

Visit T h e D a i l y T e x a n o n l i n e a t www.dailytexononline.com — — By Jeff Zell Daily Texan Staff Longhorn head coach Jason Vigilante preached teamwork, roots and solidarity at the start of the 2004 cross country season. So, when his entire team finished within three seconds of each other, he knew his team started on the right foot. All nine Longhorn runners place in the top 15 Friday at the Indiana Open Mixed 5K with action being highlighted by senior Jon Von Letscher, soph­ omore Matt Munoz and junior John Rainbolt. Von Letscher posted a rime of 16:32 with Munoz and Rainbolt on his heels, each within one- tenth of a second, to seal three out of the top four spots. If that w asn't enough burnt- orange, Texas claimed the next five spots, to finish eight runners in the top nine spots. Longhorns Jeff Cutrer, Zach Zeller, Mark Nichol, Justin Harvard and Mark Floreani placed behind the top three runners to collect top 10 honors.

From page 1B knew we weren't going to let him get 100 on us, so we took it as a challenge," Texas' Michael Huff said. "But I was deep safety, so by the time I got there, he was always already tackled." M eanwhile, the Longhorn offense was having its own field day. The 513 rushing yards eas­ ily surpassed the previous high under Mack Brown — by 177 yards. The 65 points were also the most under Brown, and it easily could've been more (walk-ons Matt McCoy, Antwuan Hobbs, Wesley Jones and Ahmard Hall each saw time in the fourth quar­ ter). Hall, without even a name on the back of his jersey, has now scored a touchdown every time he has touched the ball. "He got comfortable toward the end of last se a so n ... He knows he's the man." Cedric Benson on Vince Young Texas didn't punt until the 7:21 m ark in the third quarter, and North Texas never even crossed the Longhorns' 42-yard line (they crossed the 50 just once). We could go on. But even more than just stats, look at how this year's opener differed from other recent openers under Brown. Last year against New Mexico State, it took the Longhorns near­ ly 20 minutes to score. This year, Benson took the first offensive play to the house. Two years ago against a similar North Texas team, the Mean Green held Benson to 49 yards on the ground, racked up eight sacks and shut out the Longhorns in the second half. This year, Benson ran for 181 (not to mention Selvin Young's 102 or S a g u n D e a n Daily Texan Staff freshman Ramonee Taylor's 96), quarterbacks Vince Young and Nordgren never took a sack, and the Longhorns ran at will both early and late. "Last year most of our rushing yards were in the fourth quar­ ter/' Brown said. "Saturday we had a lot of them early, and that makes a difference." Furthermore, last year Young's athletic debut marked the begin­ ning of a quarterback contro­ versy. This year, Young's solid 14-21 perform ance may have prevented another one from ever forming. "He got comfortable toward the end of last season," Benson said. "Now it's second nature to him, and he knows he's the man." So yeah, it was only North Texas. But this was nearly the same North Texas team that only allowed 37 to Oklahoma and beat Baylor last year, and the same program that has steadily improved since the 2002 second- half shutout. The point is, like Brown said, Texas did absolutely everything they were supposed to do while making a decent mid-major team look like they belonged in D- 1 A A . Gone were the slow offensive starts of the past. Gone are the question marks about the run­ ning gam e and offensive line. Gone are the internal problems Benson described as "a lot of weird things going on last year that were hurting the team." But back is Arkansas, and after last y ear's opening blowout, Texas got beat handily by the Razorbacks at home. This year, well, we'll soon see. "The confidence level will be high going into this weekend," Brown said. "But Arkansas will have their attention before we 8°-" This team is different. This weekend in Fayetteville, we'll see just how much. defense: Swarm of orange torments Eagle offense From p a g e lB some of the starters sat down, he jumped on us and told us to get up and support the younger guys. He stays intense until the end of the game." It's that same intensity that led to tougher offseason workouts, tougher punishm ents for blown plays and has his players giddy about their new defense. However he applies it, that intensity showed up Saturday night in a big way. North Texas came into Austin boasting a Sun Belt champion­ ship won on the strength of their running back, Patrick Cobbs. Last year Cobbs led the nation with 152.7 yards per game but was never able to get going at a similar pace Saturday. Cobbs went backward, in fact, finishing with negative one yard on eight carries. "We are try ing to be the No. 1 defense from the first game to the end of the season, and that7s what we started to do," said All-American linebacker Derrick Johnson, who forced three fumbles. T hroughout the preseason, players have boasted about Robinson's swarming and relent­ less defense. Practice whistles w ouldn't blow until every player got to the ball on each play, and that practice was p ut into play against North Texas. "We were anxious to show off our new defense and for the nation to see," Wright said. "We have a little mantra of saying 'Run to the ball' that causes turn­ overs because there are so many people around the ball. You rarely see just one guy making a tackle. We are going to gang-tackle with three or four guys on the ball." It's sweet vindication for the man w ho was run out of Kansas City faster than some would say was fair. But Robinson wasted no time making his presence felt at Texas, and his intense, disciplinarian style seemed to be just what the Longhorns needed after defen­ sive meltdowns last year against Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas Tech. the "Our confidence is really high, and we have bought into the things he has given us," safety Michael Huff said. Even with shutout, Robinson w asn't satisfied. He had his players out Sunday to do exercises for their mistakes. Players call them "NOSs," mean­ ing "Not Our Standard," where for each play someone is caught not running to the ball, players do one up-down. On Sunday they did 45. And against better competition as the season wears on, that 45 can only help. "Even though we kept Cobbs to -1 yards, Coach Robinson and Coach [Dick] Tomey prob­ ably w anted us to hold him to -10 yards," Wright said. "They just w ant us to get better and better each week and never be satisfied." 0**0 RTS 3B Horns finish Canadian swing Basketball perfect in tune-up series across the border By Eric Ransom Daily Texan Staff severed relations over The Texas wom en's Basketball A m erican- team the C anadian weekend by finishing 4-0 in exhibition.

A rockier start by the Longhorns in Game 2, which allowed the Mustangs to hang within one point at 20-19, proved not to be costly as a 10-3 run was sufficient enough to close out the game 30-22.

"We showed a lot of patience and did some great things on the offensive end," Elliott said. "We have a lot of wrork to do, but I was very pleased with the first week of the season."

We have to take it into next week for Arkansas." On the defensive side of the ball, new' co-defensive coordi­ nator Greg Robinson couldn't have asked for a better debut. Robinson talked about tackling, sw arm ­ improved ing to the ball and improving zone pass coverage coming into the season. His defense made good on those promises, forcing North Texas to punt 12 times and holding them to only four first downs. A ll-A m erican lineback­ er Derrick Johnson led the physical defensive effort, causing three fum bles — all recovered by the Longhorns. Senior safety Phillip Geiggar m ade the biggest hit of the night w hen he flattened Mean Green tight end Andy Blount as he wras receiving a pass. Blount flew one way and the ball another. "We accomplished what we were looking to accomplish," Robinson said. "You could feel our intensity. I liked the hit­ ting. You could feel us. It was a good start. It's a long road, but it's great to see our guys play a full 60 minutes." M ean G reen tailback Patrick Cobbs, w ho led the nation in rushing yards per game in 2003, left in the sec­ ond quarter w ith eight carries for -1 yard. Longhorn defend­ ers sw arm ed Cobbs in the backfield and never let him gain m om entum. N orth Texas failed to gain a first down in their first three series and could not come from behind through the air against a stin­ gy Texas secondary. "Obviously we m ade a lot of mistakes and helped make team a very good football look even better," North Texas coach Darrell Dickey said. "We got on our heels, and they backed us up at our end of the field, and we could just never get anything going." After the game, Dickey revealed that Cobbs missed practice leading up to the game due to arthroscopic surgery on his right thumb on Aug. 25. Cobbs wore a protective air cast on his right hand. Meanwhile, one of Browm's only problems was determ in­ ing how manv rushing vards he wanted for each of his run­ ning backs. Brown said he turned dow n Benson when the preseason Heisman candi­ date joked that he only needed a few' more vards to reach 200. In relief of Benson, junior Selvin Young gained 102 c ards on 12 carries and tw o touch­ downs. Freshman Ramonee Taylor entered the game late and racked up 96 yards on four carries, including a 74- yard romp at the beginning of the fourth quarter. If Taylor had carried the ball one more time, the Longhorns would have likely had three 100-yard rushers in a game for the first time since 1969. tougher But for Texas' coaching staff, the opener w asn't perfect. The Longhorns came close to recording several sacks and interceptions, but they failed to do either. Texas fumbled three times offensively but recov­ ered all three. The Longhorns m ight face a test against Arkansas Saturday, and Brown wants his team to correct mistakes that could m ean the difference between a w in and a loss against the Razorbacks. lost "We [fumbles] against Arkansas last year," Brown said. "We didn't face any adversity [against North Texas], and I was hoping we would," Brown said. "A lot of teams in the top 10 faced adversity. Last year we won the first game against New Mexico State 66-7 and lost the next week, so we really have to understand where we are right now' and that w e're still a work in progress." four Scholarship Shootout 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Men's and Women's competitions Scholarship Serve Contest 11 a.m.-4 p.m Student Organization Fair 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Carnival Games 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 8, 2004 Gregory Gym Plaza, 11 a.m.-11 p.m Co-Sponsored by UT RecSports • Campus Master Plan Committee • The Daily Texan • Campus and Community Involvement • Student Government TX Union Student Events Center • University Residence Hall Association Pre-movie festivities at 8 p.m. s h r e k i Movie at 9 p.m. Jester Courtyard | Silent Auction 11:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Try Climbing 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Outdoor Climbing Wall É É Golf Putting Contest 11a.m.-6 p.m. C o r n in g t o m o r r o w : The Texan chats with John C.

Photo courtesy of Burning Heart duced "America" will not be for the faint of heart. The seven-track record ranges from a two-minute tune to the 19-minute epic closer, "Sister." The groove collective of Latinos, Caucasians, African- Americans, Africans and even an Asian (as well as members with roots to the Middle East and Caribbean) got their start in 1998, angling to the fill th e' void left by Fela Kuti's death just before. Playing block parties and a weekly 18-m onth engage­ ment at a club in Brooklyn, word spread fast and loud. Antibalas had arrived, and they had a mes­ sage to tell. On this, their second full-length release, the world is taking notice. "First and foremost," the band says, "we w ant to make good records that say something. We want to educate people, bring people together and be respon­ sible members of society by reallv using our music to help society evolve and heal itself." Vn t i i u i a s ★ ★ ★ * * \l HI M: "Vi lio Is lliis Ymerica?” I \m I : R opeadope If you do your homework, you should knowr that Afrobeat music is impossibly intertwined with politics, so it should come as no surprise that Antibalas ("bul­ letproof" in Spanish) Afrobeat Orchestra, a fluctuating mixed bag of musicians starting at 14 and topping out somewhere in the low 20s, lays the politico dis­ cussion on thick in "Who Is This America?" "Indictm ent" calls out anybody from Everyone's Favorite Target (Dubya) to the Saudi royal family, with Darth Vader and the rest of Bush's Cabinet thrown in for good mea­ sure. The title track, "Who Is This America Dem Speak of Today?," voices complaints of the current state of individualism and com­ motion that makes u p the United States at present. Founding member and bari­ tone saxophone Martin Perna refers to Afrobeat not only as an important musical form, but a weapon as well. It all started back in Nigeria. Considered the Bob Marley of Afrobeat, the leg­ endary (and largely unheard of) Fela Kuti used his big-band poly­ rhythm s and lyrics to lash out against governm ent corruption and military abuse, challenging authority and encouraging alter­ native rebellion against the status quo. Like Marley, Kuti became so synonymous with his genre that it is now impossible to separate one from the other, and as such, it is impossible to remove the aims without killing the vibe. Much like Jesus is to gospel, politics are and will always be the essence of Afrobeat. With now being such a hot time to criticize the current administra­ tion, Antibalas has taken off, gar­ nering notice from every major national publication and worthy arts and entertainment outlet, as well as media the world over, a result of relentless touring that has spanned over 50 countries and some of the most prestigious music festivals on earth. With that being said, Antibalas would still be a band of strug­ gling musicians in Brooklyn if not for one thing — talent. These boys are good. The accompanying music to the aforementioned "Indictment" gathers steam like an avalanche, with foreboding horns blaring atop a groove that could only be laid down by a drum m er and six (yes, six) percussionists, adhering to the theme of Afrobeat — that every instrum ent is rhythmic first, melodic second. "Big Man" features one horn alternately wailing over an escalating, rusty H am m ond organ-led groove w ith an intensity that refuses to boil over and fizzle out.

The Hives is a band with a member named "Dr. Matt Destruction," who is able to cure ailing men with his bass guitar. The Hives are the type of band that w ould have rebelled against the grunge movement of the early '90s by sporting clean-as-hell suits. The Hives is also a band that goes around unapologeticallv spout­ ing boastful claims of its rock supremacy. In other words, out of all the "The' bands thrust into popular culture two years ago, these guvs simply just get it. They know how to p u t on a good show (Spin magazine recently dubbed them the "best live band on the planet "), don't take themselves too seriously and throw a smoke bomb laced with charm and wit so blinding you will fall in love w ith them before laying a finger on the play button. "Tyrannosaurus Hives" ties in perfectly w ith their image. It has the energy of a live disc and is packaged in 12 fast-paced anthems played with the guitars turned all the way up to 11. "Abra Cadaver" and "Walk Idiot Walk give the public what they expected, both serving up the same garage-band intensity of their previous w'ork. As a matter of fact, most, of the album is this wray. The song titles are as clever as they've always been, while the two-guitar tandem of Nicholaus Arson and Vigilante Carlstroem has matured, and as a result, most of the cuts have the luxury of having complex rhythms going off over fast punk rock. "Two Timing Touch and Broken Bones" is the simplest track on the record, yet its loud, steady chant crawis into your head and refuses to leave. Frustratingly, it is mis song tnat is featured on the M adden 2005 soundtrack and will inevitably become em bed­ ded w ith memories of Michael V ick scrambling in the pocket to hundreds of gamers on campus. The Hives have clearly estab­ lished a helpful ability to write catchy hooks. More impressively however, the band has throwm in some electronics and strings here and there. And on songs like "B is for Brutus" and "Diabolic Scheme," these effects make for very struc­ tured, mature songwriting. As far as mainstream alterna­ tive rock radio will go in 2004, this is about as good as it's going to get. The Hives have perfected the art of the rock out, and hope­ fully something as genuinely fun as "Tyrannosaurus Hives" will graduate from MTV2 to TRL and that entire inescapable media. — R am on R a m irez Politically potent Afrobeat-sters Antibalas illus­ trate that power definitely comes in great num­ bers.

Public money is being wasted here to destroy the morality of our society. These people are the wreckers of civili­ zation!" That was 28 years ago, and the mission of Throbbing Gristle has terminated. After the demise of said mis­ sion, Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti joined forces under the moniker of "C hris and Cosey." Throughout the '80s, they released several influen­ tial and essential electro albums whose songs have been aped by a plethora of bands such as Ladytron, Peaches and even the likes of Kylie Minogue. W hile it is strange they would change the name of the partnership to last-name pairings, it is striking­ ly a departure from their early releases and their lean years as noise-mongering savages. This is a definitive new beginning, espe­ cially for a duo that has never been afraid to plow through the depths of experimentation. As you wander with Carter Tutti as your guide through the dense sonic landscape, painted by the artist himself, you realize the full scope represented here.

Comparable to the Kinks, the Hollies and the Smiths, to name a few, the Mots bring an indie-pop freshness combined with warm jazzy methodology to create a smooth seaside vibe — curious, considering these guys hail from Chicago. Although the name is French, the Mots are far from it, and prove it on their debut LP, "L e Main Drag," dubbed in light of their affliction for life. First things first, "bon mots" translates into "an apt, clever or w itty remark." W ith a name like that, one is sure to expect quips and verbal skills, and suffice it to say they hold their ground well. W hich makes sense considering that life, to many, is not as easy to navigate as we'd like to think — as can be portrayed in the chorus to the track "Vultures:" "Strange as it seems it has mean­ ing to me. But not the w ay that I imagined it." On the flip side, the Mots reveal that they have a sense of humor in "idiot Kiss," singing, "D on't like jokes/ Jokes are too funny/ Jokes don't tell me what I should do." Needless to say, a lot of their messages do not come P tE G A L .

Tuesday. September 28 www.REGmovies.com Creating art through ambience, Chris Carter, along with Cosey Fanni Tutti, recently released the more-than-impressive album "Cabal." Photo courtesy of Chris Carter no borders and no rules, only your thoughts, feelings, fears and skewed impressions of daily life. The tour of "C ab al" is a recorded lucid dream; you w ill notice that each song progres­ sively becomes slower and ambi­ ent. Therefore, by the end you should follow Cosey's advice on "M useum of Sleep" when he says, "Close your eyes, as if sleep, it has to be so to make it happen." It is not surprising that Carter Tutti would be a step in the ambient realm and aw ay from the electro dance of Chris and Cosey. Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti since 1991 have been remixing old works and turning them into ambient gems, updat­ ing even old Throbbing Gristle favorites. "Cabal" proves that electronic music is as viable as ever. Carter Tutti should be placed on the pedestal right next to Kraftwerk for invention in what can be a genre riddled with limitations. If it were not for these two groups, then most of today's more popu­ lar electronic acts would still be struggling just to get their key­ boards even plugged in. The only tragedy is that w hile many continue to spin one-off hits from their own peers at Retro nights, Chris and Cosey still wan­ der in relative obscurity. Even if most groups ignore Carter Tutti for their innovation and influ­ ence, it is nice to see that the ori­ gin of the species is still the one holding the flame. — Peter Telck pre-digested, but it does make for some flavorful analytical lis­ tening. Formed in 2000 by Michigan- bred Chicago veterans M ike Coy (of Big Angry Fish) and Eric Chial (of Mitch), the Bon Mots reveal a mutual partnership in which vocal and w riting respon­ sibilities are equally distributed. Such is the w ay the album is set up, so that odd tracks go to Coy, and evens to Chial, allowing for a sweet balance. Coy brings rough-around-the-edges vocal to the table, while Chial supplies a debonair Elvis Costello sound suited as a complimentary blend of well-to-do diversity. I he Bon Mots, though rhetori­ cally eloquent, help digest some of their heaviness with intelli­ gent instrumentals. Their blend of bubbly guitar riffs and under­ current VVurlitzer resonate to produce that vintage indie-pop sound.

Red Seas & L o s t Ghosts” j I,M il I : Mute " It made me feel like I was floating in space getting blown by a beautiful fairy with por­ celain skin and auburn hair." C ritic Andy Capper has about the best one-sentence description of M83 possible. There is an odd, alm ost unsettling, uniformity of thought when confronted with the majesty that is M83's atmo­ spheric, synthesizer infused wall of noise. Space. The universality of the word "space" when try­ ing to describe this duo is unlike anything I have ever encoun­ tered in music. M83, whose name is taken from Messier 83, the first gal­ axy ever discovered beyond our ow n, produces some kind of sonic version of Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (without all the Ligeti and Strauss). It is at the same time expansive and narrow, grandiose and simplistic. It is an orchestra of dense, soaring synth distortions with a distinctly rock imagination. It is less A ir and more Mogwai, Tangerine Dream and M y Bloody Valentine. M83 released "D ead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts" on the continent months ago, but only offered it in the States a mere 46 days before the beginning of their North Am erican tour. Despite the fact that this album is one of the most sought after imports in years, it was a bold move for a relatively obscure band. But in keeping w ith a style of music that can only be described as "bigger than words and brighter than pictures," as true masters of space rock, M ogwai, once described themselves. A n th on y G onzalez and Nicolas Fromageau are as diffi­ cult to understand as their music is to describe. A pair of analog purists from the sun-drenched town of Antibes, France, they are not the shoe-gazing math-rock nerds our indie rock forefathers were. In their stargazing way, they have managed to avoid the bland repetition of so much electronic music. The seemingly infinite number of layers that comprise their music pull the lis­ tener outward instead of inward. Even the Polyphonic Spree seems securely rooted on Earth when compared to the soaring drama of "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts." Though the songs on the album have definitive breaks, they all cany such emotional gravity that it is nearly impossible to separate them, or even want to. That said, "Run into Flow ers" is indicative of the overarching theme of this album. The repeated words "I want to run to you," although distorted as hell, capture an essence that marks one of the few tangible experiences of this album. The rest is so enveloping that it isn't worth trying to hold on to it; better hold onto your chair instead. "Em otion is, I think, is the most important thing when you listen to music ... Instrumental music permits anyone to make his own movies. That's interest­ ing — sometimes one thinks it's so dark and melancholic, some­ times one thinks the opposite," says Gonzalez. Indeed he's right, and mavbe that's w hy space is such an apt way to describe M83. Their music taps into an emotional place that is so distinct for every person. The only w ay to describe it is using a metaphor that is confus­ ing, awe-inspiring and other­ worldly. — Sam Monreal . . . . . . . . . . . . , S/M C T (CANADA) I N C J U l FILM (UK) LIMITED «Em »CONSTANTIN FILM (UK) INDO / DAVIS FILMS/IMPACT (CANADA) INC. pmceion MI1A JOVDVICH SIENNA 6UILL0RY 0 1 f l THOMAS KRETSCHMANN wiih JARED HARRIS and MIKE EPPS RESIN!

Despite som e p ro p ­ erty dam age, Haworth's return w as a relief— her hom e was still intact, with pictures and m e m o ­ ries still inside. W ilfredo Lee Associated Press Florida residents return to see Frances'damage Tuesday, Septem ber 7, 2004 6C Hurricane's effects notas devastating as first thought By Angie Wagner The Associated Press BAREFOOT BAY, Fla. — Enid Haworth w as nervous all the way home. After three nights of uncer­ tainty as an evacuee, she rounded the cc >mer to her street and saw that her carport and shed were missing. Debris littered her front yard, and siding sagged from the walls. It was a somber homecoming for Haworth and her friend, Joan Norman, as they returned to the Barefoot Bay mobile home park Monday to see the devastation Hurricane Frances had caused. But both their hom es were intact, pictures and memories still safely inside. "Isn 't Haworth, 84. it w onderful?" asked Since Friday, the two great­ grandmothers had been staying at the Safar Inn in nearby Palm Bay. They watched the hurricane come in, bringing its dreadful wind and relentless rain, and wor­ ried about the homes in Barefoot Bay where Haworth has lived for 24 years and Norman for 20. They were up early Monday, eager but scared to return home. the com m uni­ Driving into ty, they saw siding and debris strewn across yards and streets. Railroad crossing-guard arm s were crooked, trees were bent toward the ground and the First Baptist Church sign sagged in the wind. Awnings were ripped off, speed limit signs were down and pieces o f roofing were wrapped around lampposts and trees. Haworth reached her hom e first. Her new washing machine and dryer sat in the front yard where her shed and carport used to be. "It's still standing up, waiting for me to do a load," she said. "Oh, my God. Can you believe this?" “ Hallelujah! I'm glad t h a t I have a bed to g e t into to n ig h t." Enid Haworth, Barefoot Bay resident Frances had peeled the paint off Haworth's front door win­ dow frame. But her 100-year-old china, wrapped up in a blanket on her dining room table, had survived, and the china platters were untouched, still propped up in a cabinet. "I am so lucky," she said. Norman, 71, following in her own car, worried about what she would find at her home. "I don't know if I want to go roof was damaged. good news. there," she told Haworth. A few streets over, Norman found that her home, too, was still standing, although porch screens were torn, the top of her lamppost was missing and her "Yes!" she said, surveying her home. "I'm relieved." She kissed her hand, then tapped it on one of her kitchen cabinets. "You held up," she said, before going to tell Haworth the Barefoot Bay still had no power or water Monday, but Haworth and Norman didn't seem to mind. "H allelu jah!" Haworth said. "I'm glad that I have a bed to get into tonight." Classifieds Continued T a n a 800 - General Help Wanted B A R T E N D IN G ! $ 3 0 0 a d a y p o ­ training tential.

After your day at the beach, eat or drink at one o f the restaurants or bars along the shore. 3) Bullfights: Witness a cultural and artistic ceremony that has endured many generations. The battle o f man vs. bull custom takes place all over Spain. The most popular event is “The Running o f the Bulls” in Pamplona in July. 2) Nightlife: You can enjoy tapas and drinks in the many outside terraces N o r m a n d y S c h o l a r P r o g r a m - 2004-05 The impact the NSP experience has had on me is huge.

One com m on place most cities have is “el barrio”, a group o f many bars clustered together and usually crowded with locals and tourists onto the streets. Be prepared to stay up all night as the Spaniards move from bar to bar. 1) Siestas: If you are tired from a late night o f celebrating or are still groggy for work in the morning, your sleepy eyes can rest with a 2-3 hour siesta or nap. Sleep is about all you will get as businesses, restaurants and shops are usually closed during these hours in the late afternoon. September 2004 S tu d y A b r o a d F a ir W h e r e else can you go? Go Global by Rachel Silverman Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, S e v ille ...it’s hard to pass up the beautiful scenery and extraordinary sights o f Spain. But hey, there’s a whole world out there! So read ahead and find out what the rest o f the globe has to offer: 10) Beaches: Not one beach in the Travel Channel’s Top Ten is in Spain. 9) The Language of Love: If you head down under to Australia and New Zealand, you’ll come across Ozzies and K iw is who not only have adorable accents, but who also actually speak English. 8) Wonderful Wonders: Want to see one o f the Seven Natural Wonders o f the W orld? W ell, you’ll have to go to Nepal, or Brasil. Sorry, no Spain. 7) Where Did All o f Your Money Go?: In Spain, you’ll curse the exchange rate o f the Euro. 6) Go Mooning: It’s a long trip from Spain to Thailand’s Full Moon Party, an all night event held along the white sand beaches o f Haad Rin once a month to celebrate what has been described as the most beautiful moon in the world. 5) There are Six Other Continents: One word to describe traveling anywhere besides Europe: C H E A P E R ! 4) Opposite Seasons: Tired o f that scorching hot summer or that blistering cold w inter? Head south o f the equator and bask in the weather that you’d have to wait six months to get in the northern half o f the world. 3) Go While You Can: Zambia, Zimbabwe, Once you become a Arizona, Australia, Mexico, responsible adult, it w ill be more difficult to trek through Indonesia or explore a tiny village in Venezuela. Get these experiences now and save a trip to Spain for later in life. 2) Learn the Language: Want to learn Spanish? Be original and try it out somewhere more exotic like Costa Rica, Chile, or any o f the Latin American countries. 1) Find the Real You: Traveling is about finding yourself. It’s hard to find yourself when instead you keep finding your best friend from fourth grade, your mom’s second cousin once removed, and that weird guy who lives in the apartment below you— because they'll all probably be traveling in Spain as W ell.

But Lee and her family had nothing to worry about. Lee was going to Mexico with a group o f UT students, all studying to become health care professionals in a program recently implemented into the study abroad program. Maymesters, three and-a- half week courses held after finals in May, run to the end o f June. They allow students a chance to take a pick from a variety o f courses to fulfill four credit hours in another country. “The professors are so dedicated to the course and to the students,” John Sunnygard, Director o f the Center for Global Educational Opportunities said. “The instructors and students know each other in a different way. It’s not just a 50-minute course and then you walk away.” According to Sunnygard, M aymesters are different from the traditional perception o f study abroad < A-.. ,:X> , ■ photo courtesy o f the Study Abroad office University ol Texas students with professors gather for a photo opportunity while exploring Guadalajara during a Maymester. Maymesters give students an opportunity to see if a complete semester or a year abroad is the right fit for them. “The experience left me with a taste and a yearning for more,” Lee said. “After two weeks o f being there my Spanish was already improving. I want to go back and study; learn another language.” M aymesters are available during spring registration through the Connexus office in FAC 21. University Co-Op Scholarship information is available through the study abroad website, http: /Av ww.utexas.edu/student/ abroad/. More information is available at the Study Abroad Fair, September 8. programs. Students register for M aymesters during spring registration as a regular course, already providing a more reasonably priced study abroad session. Liberal Arts and Natural Science majors are at an advantage in this case, because their payment plan runs on a flat-rate tuition. Another advantage to the M aymester program is that it does not disrupt an entire semester, or even an entire summer. “ I had always wanted to study abroad, but 1 knew I w ouldn’t have enough tim e,” Lee said. “ [With M aymesters], I was allowed to take advantage o f the opportunity.” In less than a month, students have a chance to look at the broader picture o f their education, and not just in a book. From the Hapsburgs to Hitler: Art, Culture, and Collecting in Vienna, Austria, fulfills an upper division Art History requirement. Professor Louis Waldman, instructor o f the Art History course, wanted to have the opportunity to teach on-site, and use the city as the classroom. “The students live history through the streets, meeting people and bringing history to life,” Waldman said. “ It gives them a chance to understand culture in different, fascinating ways; to become a part o f the culture they are learning about.” Stephanie Poppy, a Middle Eastern studies junior, traveled to Morocco last spring. She had been studying Arabic and wanted to put that language and culture to use by going to an Arab country. Poppy and the rest o f her group were sent overseas with an American teaching assistant, and two Moroccan TAs who were the designated interpreters for the group. According to Poppy, the people were all very warm and welcoming to the students and were not greeted with any anti- American sentiments. “People’s ideas about these countries are so much different than what they actually are,” Poppy said. “ It's not like what they show you on television. It’s one thing to read about what you are studying, and a complete other thing to become immersed in it.” According to Professor Waldman, the students are learning 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The course takes commitment and a passion for learning. Students involved in study abroad programs are recommended to be self­ motivated to fall in love with a country: students with enthusiasm and a passion for learning. “The course makes the students come alive,” Waldman said. They go on to become better citizens and appreciate the differences between cultures. Almost every student sees an aspect o f life different than before.” September 2004 Study Abroad Fair Cultural Exchange Friendly faces in foreign p laces by A riel Lum bard The International Office PALS program is gearing up for a busy semester. This fall will begin PALS Spanish Com er, w hich will provide groups o f four to five students interested in practicing Spanish w ith a native Spanish speaker. The students will m eet in an inform al setting to practice conversational skills. Spanish C om er is based on the English Corner, started last spring, where groups o f international students m et with a native English speaker. PALS, short for Partnerships to A dvance Language Study and C ultural Exchange, exists to serve the needs o f both international and A m erican students. PALS had a total o f 269 m em bers last spring, 69 o f w hich were A m erican. O ne o f the m ain benefits o f the organization is that international and A m erican students trying to learn a foreign language are given the opportunity to practice and im prove their language skills. Students w ho join the program are given the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds. Lisette G arza, radio television and film senior and a PALS C oordinator, believes this helps build up a sense o f cam araderie and a sense o f pride in cultures. M any o f the international students com e from Asian countries. This w orks out well for the A m erican students studying Asian languages w ho need a place to practice, as w ell as those students sim ply interested in learning m ore about the culture. “They get to m eet A m ericans that are interested in their culture and they are definitely happy to tell them [m ore] about it," G arza said. O ther international residents in the A ustin com m unity join PALS after finding it from places such as TIEP, the Texas Intensive English Program , and A C C. PALS w orks with students associated with ESL, the English as a Second Language program , G arza said. PALS has a partner m atching service. Program coordinators try and m atch up an international student w ith an A m erican w ho has sim ilar interests. They also try to m atch A m erican students w ith native speakers o f any language they are trying to learn. “ International students faced with com m unicating in English and living in a different culture can som etim es feel intense loneliness,” Jon-C hristian Stubblefield, an English sophom ore w ho is an A m erican participant in PALS said. “ A friend said if it w asn ’t for PALS, he w ou ld n 't have any friends at all.” Events planned for this fall sem ester include a co­ ed intram ural sport team s for flag football and soccer. W hile m ost PALS events are open to non-U T students, the U niversity only allow s U T students to jo in the intram ural team s. A coffee hour will be held every Friday, during w hich tim e students can practice their conversational skills and m ingle. O ther events planned for the fall include bow ling, m ovie nights, m onthly happy hours dow ntow n and a cam ping trip. Students interested in learning m ore about PALS can stop by the office located in room 143 at the International O ffice or call 471-2348.
