Students returned to the phones for a runoff Thursday 
and elected Unite candidate Parisa Fatehi as SG presi­
dent, Eric O piela as vice president and Rob Addy as The 
Daily Texan editor.

F ateh i receiv ed 67 p ercen t of the v o tes w ith 1,758, 
defeating SERVE candidate M ichelle M ann by 894 votes.
"W e look forw ard to a year of grow th and w orking 
very hard for the U niversity," Fatehi said. "W e're just 
super excited that we pulled through a pretty long and 
tw isted cam paign and we ow e a lot to all of our sup­
porters and volunteers."

Fatehi, also coordinator of the Texas U nion Council, 
w asn 't present to hear the election results because she 
was attending the council meeting.

M ann said despite the loss, she's glad she ran.
"T h e lack of tim e really hurt u s," M ann said. "B u t I 

w ouldn't have traded the experience for anything."

Fatehi and O piela's election mirrors the success of the 
Unite cam paign in last W ednesday's election. The ticket 
captured 28 of the 35 seats.

In the vice presidential race, O piela received 62 per­

cent of the vote, defeating Tannon C arroll of IMPACT.

"I'm really excited about what we can do next year," 
O piela said. "W e have a team of really great people who 
are dedicated and com m itted to turning SG around."

Only 2,622 students voted in the runoff, compared to 
4,119 who voted on the initial presidential ballot. In the 
vice presidential race 3,806 students voted last week as 
opposed to the 2,538 students this week.

Committee approves hate crime bill

T h e H ouse Ju d ic ia l A ffa irs C om m ittee 
voted 6 -2 Thursday in favor of the Jam es 
B y rd , Jr. H a te C r im e s A ct — a b ill 
designed to com bat hate crim e by ed u cat­
ing law enforcem ent and increasing crim i­
nal penalties.

T h e b ill w o u ld en h a n c e an o ffe n d e r 's 
punishm ent if a court finds that a crim e is 
com m itted because of the race, color, d is­
ability, religion, n atio n al o rigin or sexual 
orientation of the victim .

Byrd's family came to the Capitol to sup­
p o rt th e le g is la t io n th a t h o n o re d th e 
African Am erican who was dragged to his 
death behind a truck in East Texas earlier 
this year.

Louvon Harris, Byrd's sister, asked com­
mittee m em bers to approve the legislation 
to prevent other families from enduring the 
grief her family has suffered.

"It is painful enough to lose a loved one 
to other causes, but to lose som eone simply 
because of who they are is totally unaccept­
able," H arris said. "So I plead to the law ­
makers of this state to pass this bill in the

hopes that m yself and any other fam ilies 
w ill not have to su ffer the pain we have 
suffered."

Rep. Joe Deshotel, D -Beaum ont, said the 
b ill w ould also in crea se the p e n a lty for 
crim es against property that are identified 
as hate crimes, such as the vandalism that 
has been perpetrated against Byrd's grave.

D eshotel said the significance of attack­
ing the grave d eserv es a d eep er p u n ish ­
ment than what is usually applied to acts of 
vandalism.

The leg islatio n w ould also req u ire law 
enforcem ent officers to receive training in

in v e stig a tin g and d o cu m en tin g o ffen se s 
com m itted because of bias or prejudice.

Jim Harrington, executive director of the 
Texas C ivil Rights P roject, said education 
w ill help to im prove p o lice relationsh ips 
w ith the com m unity, allow ing them to be 
prepared if a hate crim e does occur.

L a u ra lei G illiam , ex e cu tiv e d irecto r of

German finance minister steps down

Lafontaine cites sharp differences 
with Social Democratic Chancellor

Associated Press

B O N N , G e rm a n y — In th e 
biggest upheaval yet in G erm any's 
fledgling government, the finance 
m inister resigned Thursday over 
sharp differences with Chancellor 
G erhard Sch ro ed er on econ om ic 
policy.

After months of uneasy cooper­
ation, left-lean ing Finance M inis­
ter Oskar Lafontaine lost a power 
stru ggle to the bu sin ess-frien d ly 
Schroeder, signaling a consolid a­
tio n of th e c h a n c e llo r 's p o w er. 
L afontaine also resigned as head 
of the ruling Social Democrats.

L a fo n ta in e w as b la m e d fo r 
destabilizing the euro and the G er­
man econom y with his left-leaning 
policies. Also, his resignation trig­
gered a share surge in the eu ro's 
value to about $1.10, from $1.08.

Schroed er said he w oulc nam e 
su ccesso rs for both posts on F ri­
day, amid talk that he w as eying 
the party post for himself. A lead­
ing candidate for the finance post 
is Hans Eichel, the outgoing gov­
ernor of Hesse state.

"T h e 

c h a n c e llo r e x p r e s s e d 
regret at the resig n atio n , w hich

cam e as a su rp rise, and thankecf 
O skar L afo n tain e for his w o rk ," 
S c h r o e d e r 's sp o k e sm a n U w e- 
Karsten Heye said in a terse state­
ment.

The sudden resignation com es a 
day after Schroeder warned sever­
al m inisters that their som etim es 
zealous policies and tax changes 
were alienating voters and indus­
try.

L a fo n ta in e 's r e s ig n a tio n f o l­
lowed media reports that Schroed­
er had b la sted him at a C ab in et 
meeting W ednesday for alienating 
German industry with tax changes 
and made a veiled threat* to resign 
himself.

S c h ro e d e r sin g led L a fo n ta in e 
out for m aking a "strategic error" 
in r a is in g ta x e s on th e e n e rg y 
ind u stry ju st when S ch ro ed er is 
trying to nudge it toward phasing 
out n u c le a r pow er, the B erlin er 
M orgenpost and Die Welt reported.

In what Cabinet sources viewed 
as a resignation threat, Schroeder 
reportedly told the ministers there 
could come a point "w hen I can no 
longer bear the responsibility for 
such policies."

Congress debates sending 
American troops to Kosovo

Associated Press

W ASHINGTON — Defying the Clin­
ton administration, the House plunged 
into a contentious debate Thursday on 
w hether U.S. troops should be sent to 
K osovo. D em ocrats called the tim ing 
reckless, with highly fragile peace talks 
resuming on Monday in Paris.

But the Republican m ajority brushed 

aside Democratic appeals for a delay.

'C o n gress m ust have a m eaningful 
role in this d ecision," Speaker Dennis 
Hastert, R-Ill., told the House as it debat­
ed a nonbinding resolution. A vote was 
expected late in the evening.

President Clinton has proposed send­
ing up to 4,000 Americans to Kosovo as 
part of a 28,000-m em ber NATO peace­
keeping force if an agreement is reached 
to end the strife in the southern Serbian 
province.

At this stage, how ever, n eith er the 
Albanian nor the Serbian side has agreed 
to sign such an agreement. Administra­
tion officials feared that congressional 
in v o lv em e n t n ow co u ld to rp ed o the 
already troubled process.

"This is the height of irresponsibility," 
sa id H o u se M in o rity L e a d e r D ick 
G ep h a rd t, D -M o. "W e a ll know th at 
w e're in a very delicate moment in the

Kosovo peace negotiations."

But Democrats failed to postpone the 
measure on two largely party-line proce­
dural votes. R ep u b lican s h old a thin 
five-vote m ajority in the 435-m em ber 
chamber.

Even though the resolu tion is non­
bind in g, and even though the House 
seemed likely to narrow ly support the 
president in the end, the debate itself 
showcased deep divisions among law ­
makers.

M an y are fe a rfu l th e d ep lo y m e n t 
co u ld lead to a n o th e r o p en -en d e d 
engagem ent in the form er Yugoslavia. 
Even though C linton said in late 1995 
that U.S. troops would be in Bosnia for 
one year, about 6,900 U.S. troops remain 
to d ay as a p art of th e 3 2 ,0 0 0 -stro n g 
peacekeeping force.

House M ajority Leader Dick Armey, 
R -T e x a s, ca lle d the p ro p o se d tro o p 
d ep lo y m en t "p o o rly co n sid ered and 
unlikely to achieve our desired ends."

"O u r m ilitary is being stretched so 
thin, we are putting them at grave risk," 
said Rep. D ana R ohrabacher, R -C alif. 
"There is no peace plan."

The resolution, if approved, w ould 

support a deployment of troops.

But scores o f am end m ents aw aited 
a ctio n — in c lu d in g d em an d s for a

tim etable, cost lim itations and various 
other restrictions.

"People in my district want to know 
the exit strategy," said Rep. Porter Goss, 
R-Fla., chairm an of the House In telli­
g en ce C om m ittee. "G e ttin g an sw ers 
from the adm inistration is part of our 
job."

The adm inistration contends it does 
not need congressional approval to send 
troops to Kosovo as part of a peacekeep­
ing m ission and not for com bat — a 
point most legislative leaders concede.

B ut H a stert said C o n g ress had an 
obligation to give an opinion whenever 
U.S. troops may be sent in to co m bat 
overseas.

The House speaker noted that both 
the British Parliam ent and the German 
B u n d estag had d ebated the issue. " I 
don't believe any harm has been done to 
the peace process," he said. "W e have 
set in place a fair and open process."

"K o so v o is a g reat hum an traged y 
fanned by in ju stice and u n ex p lain ed 
h atred ," H astert said. He said he had 
p erso n al re serv a tio n s about sen d in g 
troops to Kosovo — and d id n 't know 
how he'd vote until the debate was over.
The Senate is also taking up the mea­

sure, possibly as early as next week.

Feds plan to give schools more financial control

An ethnic Albanian mother wipes her tears Thursday as her baby 
cries for food after two days without eating. Nearly 400 refugees 
are fleeing their village of Hoca Zagradska because Serbian 
army forces have moved into the town.

Sen. Paul W ellstone, D-M inn., a 
vocal opponent of the bill, cast the 
lone vote against it.

In last fall's spending bill, C on­
gress in a com p rom ise approved 
$1.2 billion to help schools hire about 
30,000 new te a ch e rs in the early 
grades. President Clinton w ants a 
total of 100,000 new teachers hired 
over seven years at a cost of more 
than $11 billion.

After a week-long deadlock, Sen­
ate leaders agreed to allow votes on 
the Democratic class-size proposals, 
on ly to sh o o t them dow n. The 
defeats included Murray's proposal

to pay for another year of the Clin­
ton ne\. teachers plan.

The Republican amendment that 
passed would allow states to shift 
th e n e w -te a ch e r m oney 
th a t's 
already been approved to federal 
special edu cation funding, w hich 
Republicans contend falls short of 
what the law allows.

States say the federal government, 
which dictates the rules states must 
follow on special education, p ro ­
vides only 7 to 12 percent of the costs 
for those programs. The special-edu- 
cation law allows for the federal gov­
ernment to contribute a maximum of

40 percent of a state's special educa­
tion budget.

R ep u b lican P en nsy lvania Gov. 
Tom Ridge applauded the ed-flex bill 
and special education funding move, 
saying his state would get about $600 
million for special education instead 
of the $150 million it now gets.

"T h e n th e re w ould be a hu ge 
amount to hire teachers, for after­
school program s and for dropout 
programs," Ridge said.

But other educators said Congress 
should wait for the upcoming appro­
priations to increase special-educa- 
tion financing.

Associated Press

W ASH IN G TO N — The nation's 
schools would get greater freedom 
in how they spend federal education 
m on ey u n d er m e a su re s p assed 
Thursday by the House and Senate.

The Senate bill — in a move that 
angered some Democrats who nev­
ertheless voted for the m easure — 
contained a provision that w ould 
allow states to shift money slated for 
P resid en t C lin to n 's n ew -teach ers 
plan to special ed ucation instead, 
possibly affectin g checks heading 
out this fall.

"The Republicans have chosen the 
path of partisanship and division," 
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said in 
a telephone interview. She was out 
o f tow n d u e to th e d ea th o f h er 
father-in-law.

The Sen ate passed the bill by a 

vote of 98-1.

The House vote was 330-90.
The "ed-flex" bills would let states 
and school districts apply money for 
certain federal program s to other 
program s that serve the stud ents 
best. For example, schools could use 
federal money meant for science and 
m ath te a ch e rs to b o o st re ad in g 
instruction, if that is what they need.
The bills, the first education mea­
su res of th is C o n g ress, in itia lly 
enjoyed strong bipartisan support 
but quickly became a battleground 
for each party's efforts to put its own 
mark on the nation's education poli­
cy.

Democrats wanted the measure to 
include Clinton's education propos­
als, ch ie fly m ore m o n ey to help 
sc h o o ls h ire new te a ch e rs. But 
Republicans insisted those proposals 
should be raised later in the year and 
not bog down the "ed-flex" bill.

 EDITORIALS
U.S. defense increases unnecessary

Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the 
editor or writer of the artidef^hey are not necessarily those 
of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the 
Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees.

At 

this moment, Congress 

is 
proposing to increase the military 
budget. This may not sound like such 
a big deal, but a review of the facts 
reveal three things. First, we already 
spend an astonishing amount on the 
military. Second, adding to the mili­
tary budget is completely unneces­
increasing defense 
sary. Third, 
spending would be harmful.

In fiscal year 1998, according to the 
U.S. General ’Accounting Office, the 
U.S. government spent more than 
$500 billion on defense and defense- 
related projects, including the CIA 
and military support given to other 
nations. That's nearly 43 percent of 
all federal funds — that is, funds that 
aren't handled by trust funds such as 
Social Security or Medicare. This is 
an important distinction, because by 
including trust funds, defense spend­
ing appears to take up only 15 per­
cent of the budget.

This immense expenditure appears 
even greater when you consider that 
the United States spends twice as 
much on defense as all of its potential 
rivals, such as China and Iraq, put 
together. Right now, the United 
States could wage war on two fronts

without any aid from its allies. Who 
exactly are we planning on fighting, 
and why would we do it by our­
selves? All of our successful military 
ventures In this century have been 
accomplished with the aid of other 
nations. Our current debate over 
whether to support NATO interven­
tion in Kosovo simply highlights the 
need for cooperation. We want peace 
in that region, but we don't want to 
try to enforce it by ourselves, even 
though we have the resources to do 
so even now.

Our current policy makes it look as 
though we're jumping at shadows, 
arming ourselves to the teeth to ward 
off minor threats. Do we have so little 
confidence in our own army that we 
not only need to maintain it at its cur­
rent overwhelming size, but actually 
increase it?

Increasing the military's budget 
might make some sort of sense if it 
was actually needed, but it is not. The

Pentagon 
itself has complained 
numerous times that Congress is 
sending supplies that it simply does 
not need. For example, Congress 
wants to replace the F-15 fighter 
plane with the ¥-22. But the F-15 is 
already far superior to other fighters 
in other countries, and costs $75 mil­
lion less per plane to make. Further­
more, many bases are no longer 
needed, so why keep them?

Then, of course, there is the nuclear 
arsenal, which could stand trimming. 
According to the GAO and the 
Department of Defense, the United 
States maintains 6,000 missiles on 
high alert against an enemy, the Sovi­
et Union, that no longer even exists. 
Furthermore, our efforts to create a 
"Star Wars" missile defense system 
still hasn't worked, and continues to 
drain our treasury. Right now, over 
half the national debt comes from 
present and past military spending. 
Cold warriors like to claim that the 
Soviet Union collapsed because they 
were forced to keep up with our mil­
itary spending and their economy 
couldn't take it. Now we seem to be 
doing the same thing for ourselves 
and for no justifiable reason.

This continued economic strain is 
only one of the dangers our lavish 
spending habits pose. Even worse i$ 
that they promote violence else^ 
where. By selling our weapons 
abroad, we merely add fuel to local 
conflicts all over the world. Any one 
of these nations' leaders could turn 
out to be the next Saddam Hussein —Í- 
a dictator we used to support and 
whose atrocities we blithely ignored 
until he turned on us.

A more effective policy would b§ 
one that pursues peace. We should 
cut our support for foreign militaries 
and agree to and pursue treaties 
which curb the global proliferation of 
weapons of mass destruction and 
conventional forces.

By abandoning our Cold War way 
of thinking and by supporting the 
use of diplomacy instead of saber-; 
rattling to resolve conflicts, we may 
actually discover that the world is á 
much safer place than when we si1¡ 
nervously atop a pile of weapon» 
loudly proclaiming ourselves to be 
the world's only remaining super-; 
power.

VIEWPOINT

Congrats

Congratulations to Parisa Fatehi, our new student body 
president. She's been elected to a position that has no real 
power; a post historically used to sell out student interests, an 
office that presides over an assembly of resume-padders. All of 
that money, all of that time and all of those campaign visits 
were spent to become a highly-visible figurehead.

It7s enough to make you cry.
Fortunately, Fatehi doesn't have to resign herself to the lim­
itations of the office. For the sake of students, she could, and 
must, focus on the bigger picture — student empowerment.

To coin a slogan from the days of America's Revolution, the 
status of student power at the University amounts to taxation 
without representation. Though our fees and tuition bankroll 
almost every campus operation, we have little say in how they 
are spent. Those decisions are left to Tower bureaucrats who 
work in plush offices, earn six figures annually, and wonder 
wrhy students accuse them of being out of touch.

True, we have a Student Government. But contrary to what 
administrators or campus politicos say, it has no real power. 
The SG Assembly can pass resolutions, but these are non-bind­
ing. The SG can influence part of the Student Services Fee, but 
this is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the UT bud­
get. The SG president can appoint students to numerous UT 
committees, but these students can only advise administrators.
Because we have no real power, administrators run 
unchecked. Want examples? Witness the $16 per credit hour 
fee hike the College of Communication imposed on students. 
We remember the 14-hour minimum mandate thrust upon the 
College of Engineering. Athletic Director Deloss Dodds' deci­
sion to throw students in the nosebleed sections is yet another 
in a long line of examples where administrative action defied 
student protest. They’ve done it before, and they'll do it again.
We won't stand for this kind of treatment much longer. 
Though this year's campaign to abolish SG failed, the issue will 
continue to gam momentum until students believe otherwise.

Fatehi brings to the presidency a keen understanding of how 
the inner circles of campus politics work. She, of all people, 
should understand how debilitating and ineffective the cur­
rent power structure is. But students deserve more than a 
"whisper" government, and Fatehi could work-to radically 
change the face of student power and representation.

Effectively using the office as a bully pulpit for student 
empowerment will require a radical departure from the lack­
luster precedent set by others.

It means lobbying for a student regent. It means fighting for 
student positions that are more than just "advisory7' in nature. 
It means going to the media or staging protests when admin­
istrators, like Dodds, dismiss student demands.

It means raising all kinds of hell.
Every fee hike, every construction proposal and anything 
else routinely approved should also be considered by student 
representatives. As the "official" spokesperson for students, 
Fatehi should demand a place, and a vote, at the table where 
campus decisions are made.

History will judge her success or failure based on her ability 
to advocate student interests and student empowerment. We 
wish her luck.

Financial trouble

Same standard

I would like to take the time to address a 
couple of points not covered in the letter 
that was run in The Texan Thursday 
("Explaining the Texas Union Bill"). I 
would like to point out that the Texas 
Union has been in financial trouble for a 
number of years and that there have been 
no major changes in the management of the 
Union during the last 10 years. In business, 
things that aren't effective have to be 
removed to make the business run more 
efficiently. You will never see an advertis­
ing manager stay at a company if the 
advertisement department loses money 
every year. You will never see a coach stay 
at Texas if he has more than one losing sea­
son in a row, so why does the Union still 
have people operating it that have watched 
its debt grow larger and larger?

Next, I find it hard to believe that the rea­
son the Union is in debt is mainly due to 
staff wage increases. Surely there can't be 
so many employees that the Union has to

Kay half of its gross income to salaries. If so, 

ow much do employees make? Are you 

guys hiring?

Finally, students apparently don't support 
the Union because the Union keeps every­
thing in the dark until the last possible 
minute. Anyone ever notice how the Union 
did a referendum last year, it failed and a 
year later they are talking to the State Legis­
lature about going around the vote? What 
happened in between? There wasn't an 
attempt to educate students on why we 
should vote for the Union and then have a re­
vote. Instead, the Union has tried to go 
around our power and then educate us when 
the issue is already beyond our control. ,

Instead of asking the legislature to allow 
more commercialization in the Union or 
any other alternative, die Union feels that 
the student vote should be taken away. 
Who wants to pay $40 a semester when you 
probably won't spend $40 there? Not me, 
and apparently not the students at UT.

In your Viewpoint Wednesday, you 
lament that Ward Connerly neglected to 
answer questions from respectful audience 
members and that "... even students who 
remained respectful received no reward for 
their patience." As examples, you quote the 
questions posed to Connerly from two first- 
year UT law students, Cicely Reid and 
Marlen Whitley.

Reid noted that she was one of eight 
African-Americans in her first-vear law 
class. She asked Connerly how his color­
blind policies would help her " ... become 
one of 28, one of 30?" But Reid should real­
ize that this year's low numbers of incom­
ing African American and Mexican-Ameri­
can students at the law school results 
directly from Hop wood. The UT Law 
School can't offer race-based admissions 
and scholarships; almost every other Top 
20 law school in the country can. So many 
minority law students don't come to Texas 
because they can receive more money from 
other law schools, not because of any anti­
minority bias on the part of the law school's 
admissions committee.

Former SG president Marlen Whitley 
asked what Connerly had done personally 
to enhance a colorblind America. I don't 
know Connerly wt41-eiiough to answer for 
him, but I do know a few tilings about 
Whitley. While Whitley wa^SG president, 
he was a member of z'lustorically-black 
social fraternity. I don't remember reading 
anything in The Texan about Whitley trying 
to make his fraternity more racially-inclu- 
sive. Whitley's question was a fair one. 
Regrettably, Connerly didn't answer it. But 
all public figures, 
including Whitley, 
should be held to the same standards.

Taken for granted

Growing tip in the Midwest, I took for 
granted the worker's rights to organize, 
protest and collectively bargain. In 1994 I

FIRING LINE

moved to Texas to begin graduate school 
and discovered the context of working cul­
ture here is simply not the same.

I began working for the University last 
year and was immediately informed of the 
issues of fair wages, problems with job clas­
sification, discrepancies in retirement pro­
grams and other inequities in the UT 
employment system. This information was 
provided by my union, the [Texas State 
Employees Union] and by the [University 
Staff Association]. As an informed worker, 
I have written to my senators and represen­
tatives asking them to aggressively support 
legislation to correct or at best address 
these and other important issues.

These issues are important because my 
job is my livelihood. I enjoy the students I 
work for and do my best to advise in ways 
to help them succeed and complete their 
degree programs. Rather than contribute to 
the weaknesses in the UT System due to 
high turnover and lack of efficiency, I 
choose to stay and work for the students. 
The students appreciate my efforts and I 
feel I am making a difference by being 
thoughtful, considerate, patient and diplo­
matic — many things that students com­
ment are rare in their experiences here. 
They can and should expect more from the 
University than what they already receive. 
This cannot happen without a reevaluation 
and reorganization of the employment 
structure. I would like to thank the mem­
bers of USA who coordinated the Virtual 
Walkout cm March 10.

Negative image

Over the past seven months, The Daily 
Texan has printed several articles about 
people with disabilities such as students 
with disabilities' perspectives on the acces­
sibility of the UT campus, the movie review 
of The Other Sister and die most recent arti­
cle involving health care for people with 
mental retardation. We think Daily Texan 
journalists generally write positive articles

about people with disabilities; however, we 
are consistently disappointed by the lan­
guage that the Daily Texan uses to describe 
people with disabilities. The journalists use 
terms such as "the disabled," "mentally 
challenged," "mentally retarded," "retard­
ed" and "the handicapped."

Describing people as "the disabled," or 
"mentally challenged" presents a negative 
image and stereotype. It assumes that 
everyone with a disability behaves similar­
ly and that their behavior deviates from the 
norm. Consequently, it does not include the 
many unique characteristics of individuals 
with disabilities as productive members of 
society.

According to Guidelines for Reporting and 
Writing about People ivith Disabilities, the 
appropriate and preferred terms are "peo­
ple with disabilities," or "person with men­
tal retardation." The guidelines stress the 
importance of placing "people first, not 
their disability." While the guidelines 
acknowledge that due to editorial pres­
sures, in some circumstances one may use 
"disabled person," this term is not sanc­
tioned by the disability groups who 
endorsed the guidelines. The Americans 
with Disabilities A ct, a federal piece of leg­
islation, always focuses on people-first lan­
guage; there is no mention of "disabled 
people." We think it is important for The 
Daily Texan to use the appropriate and pre­
ferred terminology and nope to see these 
changes in future stories about people with 
disabilities.

No insight

I would like to complement my former 
dean, M. Michael Sharlot, on his keen obser­
vation in Wednesday's Firing Line that the 
minority students who attended Ward Con- 
neriy's lecture on March 8 had "understand­
ably strong negative feelings about the

speaker's message." However, sadly, I can­
not so complement my former dean. His 
comments evidence ignorance, not insight.

Mr. Sharlot has no means to know what 
kind of feelings every minority student (a 
ridiculous phrase in itself) among over 200 
lecture attendees held about Mr. Connerly's 
message. It is sad that Mr. Sharlot cannot see 
past his prejudice to realize that not all 
minority individuals think alike.

What is so hard about accepting that some 
minority students at the lecture may have 
held neutral or positive feelings about Mr. 
Connerly's message? Nothing — if you 
believe that a person's mind is not a prisoner 
to his ancestry.

So, why did Mr. Connerly's presence at 
the University upset some people so much? 
Maybe, by presenting a non-stereotypi cal 
oint, Mr. Connerly reminded mem 
vie
tey have chosen prison over freedom.

U.S. State Department warns students 
traveling abroad to stay out of trouble

William Moses
Daily Texan Staff

With spring break drawing near 
across the nation, the U.S. Depart­
ment of State urged students who 
plan to leav e the cou ntry to be 
careful while enjoying their vaca­
tion.

According to the Department of 
State's Bureau of Consular Affairs, 
more than 2,500 American citizens 
are arrested abroad each year, and 
about h alf o f those are on drug- 
related charges. M exico alon e is 
responsible for about 400 of those 
arrests.

"Each year, many American stu­
dents serve time in foreign jails or 
aw ait trial in detention becau se 
they were unaware of the risks of 
using or possessing drugs w hile 
overseas," said U.S. Secretary of 
State M ad elein e A lbright in the

introduction to the State D epart­
ment's cautionary statement.

A c co rd in g to the sta te m e n t, 
being arre ste d abroad on drug 
charges could mean mistreatment 
and solitary confinement for up to 
a year before trial, a lengthy trial 
conducted in a foreign language, 
prison time — sometimes includ­
ing hard labor and heavy fines — 
and in Sau d i A rabia, M alay sia, 
Pakistan, T u rkey and Thailand, 
death.

Foreign law s often treat drug 
p o sse ssio n and tra ffic k in g the 
same.

The S ta te D e p a rtm e n t said 
drugs aren 't the only legal risk. 
Many Americans are also arrested 
for public intoxication and disor­
derly conduct.

"U.S. consular officers can visit 
Am erican citizens being held in

foreign jails but cannot get them 
released," Albright said.

Consular officers can intercede 
with local authorities to make sure 
Americans' rights under local laws 
are observed, make sure A m eri­
cans are treated h u m anely and 
n o tify A m erican s' fam ilies and 
friends of their arrest, according to 
in te rn a tio n a lly accep ted s ta n ­
dards.

"Be aware that when you leave 
U.S. soil, you leave behind all pro­
te ctio n th a t o u r co n stitu tio n 
a ffo rd s," said M aria R udensky, 
sp o k esw o m an 
th e S ta te 
Department's Bureau of Consular 
Affairs.

for 

The statement cautioned against 
taking risks in foreign countries, 
legal or not.

"Y ou ng A m ericans have been 
k illed in au to m o b ile accid en ts,

drow n ings and falls becau se of 
heavy drinking and drug use," the 
sta te m e n t said . "S a d ly , o th ers 
h a v e been rap ed or robbed 
becau se they have found them ­
selves in unfam iliar locales and 
incapable of exercisin g prudent 
judgment."

The State D epartm ent recom ­
m ends stud ents stu d y the law s 
and customs of the country they 
plan to visit.

"W e also encourage you to talk 
to people who have recently been 
to the country and to learn a little 
about the lan g u ag e," Rudensky 
said.

In addition, the statement sug­
gests that students know whether 
th e ir m ed ical in su ra n ce covers 
them ou tsid e the U n ited States 
and that students carry a policy 
identity card and a claim form.

Bush says pray for rain, declares emergency

Couple files complaint about 
Child Protective Services

Associated Press

AUSTIN — Gov. George W. Bush 
d eclared an em erg en cy in 167 of 
T e x a s ' 254 co u n tie s T h u rsd ay 
because of an abnormally dry winter 
and grow ing danger of fires over 
two-thirds of the state.

I think we ought to pray for rain," 
Bush said, as state officials reported 
that farmers and ranchers already are 
being hurt, reservoir levels are drop­
ping and forecasters are saying the 
dry weather should continue.

T he g o v ern o r ask ed P resid en t 
Clinton for an emergency declaration 
to give Texas additional aid in com­
bating wildfires and pre-positioning 
fire fighters and equipment to areas 
at risk.

He called on county officials to 
consider local burning bans. Thirty- 
five have been enacted so far. Bush 
asked mayors and water suppliers to 
read y w a te r-c o n se rv a tio n plans 
should drought predictions prove 
true.

"Much of Texas has had a very dry 
w in ter, fo re ca ste rs p red ict a dry 
spring, and we know our summers 
are dry in Texas. All this adds up to a 
d ro u g h t that co u ld be as bad or 
worse than the devastation we expe­
rienced last year," Bush said.

Bush's proclamation covers all the 
counties in the w estern half of the 
state plus South Texas, roughly along 
a line west of Interstate-35 and Inter- 
state-37.

If a drought materializes, it would 
be the third in four y ears for the 
nation's second-largest state.

Carl Anderson, agricultural exten­
sion economist at Texas A&M Uni­

versity, reported two weeks ago that 
last year's drought reduced farm and 
ranch production values by more 
than $2.4 billion from 1997.

Anderson said Thursday that dry 
weather this year has gotten an even 
earlier start. "L ast y ear's drought 
really k ick ed o ff the first part of 
March. As it stands right now, this 
y ear h as had w ay b elo w -n o rm a l 
rainfall since the first of the year," he 
said.

The Texas Forest Service said fire 
danger is increasing across Central 
and W est T exas, m uch o f w hich 
never recovered from last year. The 
wildfire potential already is greater 
in parts of West Texas and the Pan­
handle than it was in May 1998, the 
se rv ic e sa id . In ad d itio n , sp rin g 
winds are further drying out grazing 
lands.

Calling conditions "a desperate sit­
uation," Forest Service Director Jim 
Hull said, "W e're at the same point 
today that we were in May and June 
last year."

B etw een M ay and O ctober last 
year, firefighters responded to 10,680 
fires. Texas got help from 47 other 
states, which m obilized 5,000 fire­
fighters, 436 fire engines, 114 bull 
dozers and 193 aircraft.

At its peak, that effort cost $5 mil­

lion a week, officials said.

Hull said he also worries because 
last year, only Texas, Flonda, south­
ern California and Montana bad sig­
nificant fire activity But this year, he 
said, forecasts indicate the dangers 
spreading across much of the South 
and Southwest, states which came to 
Texas' aid in 1998.

In an effort to change the manner in 
which the Child Protective Services 
investigates child welfare cases, a Har­
lingen husband and wife have filed an 
adm inistrative com plaint with the 
CPS of Texas through the South Texas 
Civil Rights Project.

On Jan. 16, 1998, Kathryn and Mark 
Dittman's two-vear-old child, Maggie, 
died of shaken baby syndrome at a 
Harlingen hospital. After the funeral, 
the Dittm ans said they were ques­
tioned by the CPS about custody of 
their other seven-year-old child.

"The CPS took us off in a room," 
Mark Dittman said. "W e spent five or 
six hours wrangling over the custody 
of our son "

The Dittmans then signed a safety 
plan which released custody of their 
son to relatives.

"CPS caseworker Richard Haw'kins 
threatened us that CPS would take our 
son M atthew and cut our parental 
rights if we didn't sign their so-called 
safety plan," Kathryn Dittman said. 
"W e were giv en no choice.

Marla Sheely, spokesperson for the 
CPS, said she couldn't comment on 
the Dittman case but said there was an

investigation into the Dittmans com­
plaint. She said the CPS tnes to work 
with families in the best interests of the 
children.

"Our first priority is the safety of the 
child," Sheely said. 'We work with the 
parents for voluntary placement while 
we conduct investigations."

Five days after* getting custody, 
w ith the help o f an attorney , the 
D ittm an s w ere allow ed to bring 
Matthew' home, but with restrictions.

"W e could only have supervised 
v isita tio n s for tw o w eek s," M ark 
Dittman said "M y father had to stay 
at our house until Matthew’ left for 
school. We adhered to their rules ... 
we w'ere afraid not to."

Dunng that two-week period, the 
Harlingen Police consulted a doctor in 
Corpus Christi, w’ho found that, from 
a medical perspective, the Dittmans 
could not have been involved w'ith 
Maggie's death, Mark Dittman said. 
Alma Quintanilla, a care-giver wrho 
worked for the Dittmans, wras found 
guilty in the death of their child.

CPS retu rned full custody of 
Matthew to the Dittmans after they 
w'ere exonerated of any w'rongdomg.

Sweetwater rounds up rattlers

Jason Hunter
Daily Texan Staff

A small W est Texas town will 
continue a time-honored tradition 
by h o ld ing its 41st ann ual rat­
tlesnake roundup this weekend.

The S w eetw ater R attlesn ak e 
Roundup was started in this town 
about 45 miles west of Abilene to 
prevent rattlesnake bites on live­
stock, said Kay Berryman, office 
manager for the Sweetwater Cham­
ber of Commerce.

"It began m 1958 when a group 
of local ranchers and farmers got 
together," she said. "Lots of their 
livestock were getting bitten."

The event is sponsored by the 
Sw eetw ater Jaycees, w hich sup­
ports activities ranging from Little 
League b aseball to the sh eriff's 
posse, Berryman said.

R attlesnakes for the event are 
captured by subjecting the snakes to 
gasoline fumes, forcing them out of 
their dens, Berryman said.

After the capture, rattlesnakes are 
weighed before being placed in a 
pit with other rattlesnakes. Some

snakes are also m ilked of their 
venom, which is sold to biomedical 
research firms.

B errym an said the ev en t is a 
source of income for the Jaycees; in 
fact, it is the largest moneymaker of 
the year. The event has grossed up 
to $250,000 in prior years, Berryman 
said.

Most of the money comes from 
the selling of rattlesnake products to 
attendees and rattlesnake meat to 
the cook shack — a vendor which 
sells fried rattlesn ak e m eat and 
other carnival concessions.

"W hen they leave Sw eetwater, 
they are very much alive," Berry­
man said. "The only ones we butch­
er are those w e sell to the cook 
shack."

Over the past 40 years, die event 
has round ed up abo u t 230,000 
pounds of rattlesnakes. The event 
annually displaces less than 1 /10 of 
1 p ercen t of th e rattlesn ak es in 
Texas, Berryman said.

"There are still a bunch of them 
out there," she said. "W e haven't 
caused any great ecological imbal­

ance out there."

B u t S co tt R oyd er, d ire cto r of 
communications for the Texas chap­
ter of the S ierra C lu b, said rat­
tlesnake roundups should be sus­
pended until the effects can be mea­
sured.

"W ithout knowing the impacts, 
we shouldn't allow diese things to 
continue," he said.

R oy d er added th at roundup 
atten d ees can learn m ore about 
snakes if the animals are left undis­
turbed.

"It would be much better if they 
w ere ed u cated in th eir n atu ral 
state," he said.

W ildlife belongs to the public, 
and people should not be allowed 
to p ro fit by e x p lo itin g a public 
resource, Royder said.

"O ur wildlife belongs to every­
body-— it is a public resource," he 
said. "They shouldn't be allowed to 
p ro fit by ex p o rtin g a pu blic 
resource."

The S w eetw ater R attlesn ak e 
Roundup begins Friday and runs 
through Sunday in Sweetwater

U-Haul court ruling upheld

Erik Rodriguez
Daily Texan Staff

A Texas appeals court has upheld a 
ruling against U-Haul asserting the 
moving company's over-the-counter 
insurance sales violated state law, the 
Texas Department of Insurance said 
Thursday.

The March 4 decision by the 3rd 
Court of Appeals bans U-Haul Co. of 
Texas Inc., U-Haul International Inc. 
and Republic Western Insurance Co. 
from selling insurance to customers 
renting moving equipment, towing 
eq u ip m en t and storag e sp ace in 
Texas.

The ruling, which is subject to an 
appeal to the Texas Supreme Court,

states that sales of U-Haul's "Safe Pro­
tection" insurance plans were illegal 
because the U-Haul companies were 
not licensed to sell insurance in Texas, 
said Lee Jones, spokesm an for the 
Texas Department of Insurance.

"The injunction tells U-Haul that 
until you get a license of some kind, 
you cannot sell insu rance at your 
counter," Jones said.

The inju n ction stem m ed from a 
1997 investigation by the Office of the 
Attorney General that prompted the 
moving company to petition the court 
for a judgment on its business prac­
tices. In a state countersuit, the district 
court granted a temporary injunction 
against the firm 's insurance-related

R ights P roject, said full cu stod y 
should have been retu rned m ore 
quickly to the Dittmans.

"CPS knew', or should have known, 
early on that Alma Quintanilla was 
responsible and Kathryn and Mark 
were blameless for Maggie Dittman's 
injuries and death," Gill said. "There 
are pervasive problems when the CPS 
short-circuits a constitutional process 
to coerce the Dittmans into signing a 
safety plan, rather than going to a 
judge for a court order."

Gill added that part of the goal of 
this complaint is to convince the Texas 
Legislature that changes need to be 
made regarding CPS agents.

"W e want the State Legislature to 
remedy this process," Gill said. "There 
should be more aggressive training 
and m ore regu latio n s w ith CPS 
agents."

Sheely acknowledged the emotional 
burdens involved in cases of child cus­
tody. But she said not all cases are the 
same.

"It's always a traumatic situation for 
the family," Sheely said. "But in cases 
of child welfare, we nave to err on the 
side of safety."

Susan Wills, executive director of 
the Austin C hildren's Shelter, said 
CPS caseworkers try hard to work in 
the best interests of the child and the 
family.

"It's always heartbreaking to take a 
child, but the CPS tries to preserve 
families," Wills said.

Mark Dittman does not want to do 
aw ay w ith the CPS, but he feels 
changes need to be made.

"We're not trying to dismember the 
CPS," Dittman said. "There have been 
other Cases of CPS mismanagement 
and m isconduct in the Rio Grande 
Valley that have put families through 
tremendous misery. We'll work to see 
that this does not happen to any other 
family."

The appeals court lifted the injunc­
tion while it examined the company's 
business practices but reinstated it 
when it discovered U-Haul was unli­
censed, Jones said.

"This particular decision deals with 
only one issue: whether U-Haul was 
engaged in [selling] unauthorized 
insurance," Jones said. "That's what 
they w ere enjoined against doing. 
There's nothing in the opinion having 
to do with their [other] sales prac­
tices."

But in the originating law suit — 
filed in Travis County District Court 
by 
th en -A tto rn ey G en eral Dan 
Morales — the state also alleged that 
U-Haul misrepresented the benefits 
and terms of its insurance packages in 
order to charge them to custom ers 
without their knowledge.

At U -H aul's international head ­
quarters in Phoenix, company officials 
told a different story.

"The word we got today was that 
o ur stay [of in ju n ctio n ] had been 
extended," said Johna Burke, public 
relations adviser for U-Haul Interna­
tional. "W e got a stay in that ruling 
until further notice."

Burke said the com pany w ould 
continue to conduct business as usual 
and contract through Republic West­
ern in Texas. Republic Western han­
dles insurance claims for U-Haul cen­
ters across the country.

In Austin, representatives at some 
U -Haul m oving centers confirm ed 
that they were selling insurance on 
selected trucks and vans only. Other 
moving centers said they were offer­
ing full insurance packages on trucks 
and vans, their contents and medical 
coverage.

The disparity in U-Haul's company 
policy could be caused by the lengthy 
chain of information among its corpo­
rate, state and local offices, Jones said.

"There's always a lag [after] a court 
d o es so m e th in g ," Jo n e s said. "I 
wouldn't be surprised if people at U- 
Haul didn't know about this yet."

 Horoscopes ^ 

T O — 1*1 

Aries (March 21-April 19): Making 
the most of this spring break may take 
a little dedication on your part. Oh, 
what a shame, more focus on the party
scene.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Don't 
overdo anything this spring break. If 
you don't watch yourself, you will 
find that an illness will greet you 
when you return back to school. Take 
precautions.

Gemini (May 21-june 20): Never 
knowing w hat will happen may 
make this spring break one of your 
best. If you go with the flow of 
things, you will find a pot of gold at 
the end of the relationship rainbow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Fatty, 
fatty, 20-by-40, Cancer. Don't let the 
alcohol calories pack on the pounds. 
You have to look good and strut your 
stuff, so do everything with an eye 
on your thigh.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Spring break 
may not fall at the best time for you this

1 25 
year. There are more pertinent things 
that you might have on your mind. If 
this is the case, make sure you have 
fun, but tame it down a little and place 
things in order.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept 22): Your sex- 
kitten persona may just gleam this 
next week. Think of doing a little 
makeover to clean up your appear­
ance. You never know who you may 
need to impress.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Staying 
with friends and keeping an eye on 
the ones you love is a definite prior­
ity this next week. Make sure where 
ever you travel that you 
bring 
ample alarms and cell phones to 
keep in contact. A person is easily 
lost and found in the wrong places.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Calling 
home with honesty may calm the 
nerves of your parents. If you think of 
others this week, you w ill not only stay 
safe, but have comfort that you're not 
being judged by your parents.

'fi
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Cali 
an old friend. If spring break takes you 
to a reunion of sorts, make an effort to 
get all their home numbers and 
addresses. Your networking circle can 
always be expanded.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The 
martial law some of your friends may 
enforce are for your owrn benefit. If 
someone is being a control freak or 
party-pooper, respect their opinions 
and come to a compromise.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Enjoy 
spring break, Aquanus. You deserve 
it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Travel 
beyond your expectations will give 
you a great relief from your burden­
ing tasks here at UT. You may think 
you are going somewhere and end up 
somewhere else, so be prepared with 
clothes and other supplies. Enjoy.

Homeless wildlife find refuge at Austin Zoo

Dick Lawler
D aily Texan S ta ff

In 1990, when Jim and Cindy Carroccio opened 
a sm all zoo w ith goats an d sheep as its only 
inhabitants, they had no idea the establishm ent 
would one day blossom into the Austin Zoo.

The Carroccios, who had been involved in rais­
ing and showing goats for years, owned a 125- 
acre tract of land where they founded the zoo, 
complete with park and picnic grounds.

Things changed quickly, however, when people 
began to turn neglected and wild animals over to 
the couple, boosting the park's population.

Today, 90 percent of the zoo's residents are res­

cued animals or owner-released pets.

"We now feel that our niche on this planet is to 
rescue unwanted or confiscated animals," Cindy 
said.

Some of the exotic anim als have been found 
w a n d erin g in u rb a n areas w hile o th ers w ere 
seized by law enforcem ent agencies or surren­
dered by their owners.

"Every animal has a different story," said Shaw- 
na Gayton, who has worked in the zoo offices for 
four years. "Someone called Animal Control in 
Dallas one day and said there was a lion tied to a 
tree in a yard. Sure enough there was, and the 
people who lived at the residence d id n 't know 
nothing about no lion. It was just there."

After being rescued the lion ended up at the 
Austin Zoo. He was named "Tush" because, when 
animal control was taking care of him he liked to 
bite folks on their posteriors.

The zoo is home to a wide assortment of ani­
mals including capybaras, the largest rodents in 
the w orld, Bengal tigers, A frican lions, black 
bears, black-crested mangabey monkeys and vari­
ous reptiles.

One of the zoo's most famous residents, Omar, 
a 9-month-old Bengal tiger, was adopted from the 
Wild Anim al O rphanage in San A ntonio. Ten 
days old at the time, Om ar was bottle-fed and 
raised by the zoo's lead zo o -k eep er, Tam m y 
Curry.

Venice Davis trims thedat from a piece of meat before

always bring me half, like tigers in the wild do 
with their mothers," said Curry, a three-year vet­
eran at the zoo. "His favorite game is hide-and- 
seek and he gets offended if you don't stop and 
play."

The zoo does not house any pachyderm s (ele­
phants, rhinos, etc.) and does not plan to unless 
donations are m ade to pay for housing and food.
The Austin Zoo is funded solely by its gate admis­
sions, whereas most zoos are funded by federal 
and state taxes or municipal funds.

Getting dow n to business

Mihm, Longhorns ready to 
start NCAA tourney run in 
battle against Boilermakers

Mike Wilson
Daily Texan Staff

The Big 12 regular season may have 
smiled kindly upon the Texas men's 
basketball team this season, but once 
the Longhorns tip off their NCAA 
tournament first-round game Friday 
night against Purdue, Chris Mihm 
will be happy to have that portion of 
the year behind him.

It w asn't that the seven-foot center 
played poorly during Texas' run at 
the regular season championship — 
in fact, he earned FirSt-team All-Big 
12 and Big 12 All-Defensive team 
honors. Mihm was even named con­
ference Player of the Week at the 
beginning of February, and has post­
ed 15 double-doubles in his last 20 
games.

The real reason why Mihm is glad 
to be out of Big 12 play has more to do 
with his opponents than himself. 
After seeing the same teams over and 
over again, the sophomore center is 
ready to face some different competi­
tion — one that may not know his 
teams' strengths so well.

"We played 19 games in the confer­
ence, and all the teams are pretty sim­
ilar," Mihm said. "After playing that 
many games, it's like playing the 
same team over and over again with 
just a few personnel differences. They 
know us too well."

For a team that went 15-4 in league 
play (including the Big 12 tourna­
ment), it will be a breath of fresh air 
for Texas not to have a conference 
opponent nipping at its heels.

The Big 12 regular-season race 
went down to the wire, when the 
Longhorns clinched the title outright 
with a 62-52 win against Baylor in 
Waco during the final week of the 
season.

And as far as Mihm is concerned, 
he's more than ready to not have to 
mvorry about other teams wanting to 
dethrone the reigning champs.

"When you're in first place in the 
conference, all the teams are going to 
come to play every night," he said.

"We get each team's best shot because 
they want to knock off the top team. 
Some people just don't understand 
that. Now that we are out of confer­
ence play, other teams may not come 
after us so fiercely."

Texas' first-round opponent will be 
Purdue, which has lost 11 of its last 
18 
contests. The Boilermakers 
dropped an overtime decision to a 
hapless Michigan team in the Big 10 
the 
postseason 
Woverines ended the regular season

ward spiral began.

tournam ent after 

But even though the Horns have 
been hot down the stretch, they know 
how fickle such streaks can be.

"Things can get away from you as 
easily as they come, so we have to be 
careful," Mihm said. "Purdue is 
going to try to turn things around 
against us. It's a new season for 
them, so we expect them to come out 
fired up."

One thing that Texas wants to con­
centrate on heading into the NCAA 
tourney is playing hard the entire 
game. During both of their contests in 
the conference tournament in Kansas 
City, the Horns played poorly in 
stretches, something that can't hap­
pen if they are to be successful in the 
NCAAs.

"We have to concentrate on plaving 
hard all the way to the buzzer," for­
ward Kris Clack said. "Purdue is very

Asha Hill knows a little about 

■ W h a t N C A A first round — East 

playoff basketball.

In her lifetime, the self-con­
fessed hoops junkie has seen hun­
dreds of big-time NCAA men's 
and women's tournament games 
on television.

Two years ago, she took in a few 
of them first hand when Austin 
hosted a women's subregional at 
the Erwin Center.

As a senior at Del Valle High 
School, the future Longhorn point 
guard even played in a few high- 
stakes contests herself, leading the 
Cardinals to the 4A regional semi­
finals.

And from all that experience, as 
limited and vicarious as it is, Hill 
has come to one final conclusion 
regarding the pressures of March 
Madness.

"You're not going to know how 
cool it is until you're actually in 
it," said the 5-foot-9-inch fresh­
man, whose 12th-seeded team 
faces Auburn in the first-round of 
the NCAA tourney on Saturday in 
Blacksburg, Va. "It's going to be

weird to actually be playing in it."
Strange thing is, Hill may have 
picked up as much postseason 
living room 
exposure on her 
couch as most of her current team­
mates have picked up on the floor.
Only seven Texas players have 
ever even set foot in an NCAA 
tournament game, and only two 
have averaged more than 11 min­
utes per contest in those appear­
ances.

Likewise, just two of those 
experienced players — junior All- 
America 
honorable mention 
Edwina Brown and senior guard 
Kim Lummus — are expected to

get significant playing time in the 
tourney.

her belt, hasn't logged many min­
utes this year due to nagging 
injuries, and probably won't play 
much this weekend.

In addition, four of Texas' top 
seven contributors are wide-eyed 
rookies, and another is a sopho­
more who didn't see postseason 
freshman, mostly 
time as a 
because the Longhorns didn't 
make it there.

"Every team is different," said 
UT head coach Jody Conradt, 
whose current group is 16-11. 
"There's no recipe. You just have 
to find out where they are and 
then help them through it."

Auburn coach Joe Ciampi, 
whose team boasts a grand total of 
zero seniors, can relate.

The fifth-seeded Tigers (19-8) 
roared into mid-January at 16-3, 
but then wheezed into the post­
season losing five of their last 
eight. Of course, all of those 
recent defeats came to opponents

Weber State shocker 
highlights first round

A s s o c ia te d P re s s

SEATTLE — Harold Arceneaux 
punctuated a spectacular 36-point 
performance by making two free 
throws with 13.3 seconds to play 
Thursday night as Weber State 
stunned North Carolina 76-74, the 
Tar Heels' first opening-game NCAA 
tournament loss in 19 years.

Arceneaux, who grew up in New 
Orleans and found his way 
to 
Ogden, Utah, after stops at two 
junior colleges, made 5-of-7 3-point­
ers. He scored 20 in the second half. 
Weber State hit 14-of-26 3-pointers, 7- 
of-10 in the second half.

North Carolina, the West's No. 3 
seed, nearly pulled it out after trail­
ing by 10 with 3:59 to play.

Ademóla Okulaja, who scored 17

points, hit his fifth 3-pointer with 
31.6 seconds to go to cut the lead to 
70-68 with 31.6 seconds to go. Then 
Max Owens, just 2-for-ll from the 
field, made a 3-pointer with 23.8 sec­
onds remaining to make it 72-71.

Noel Jackson sank the first of a 1- 
and-1 opportunity with 22.8 seconds 
to play to stretch the lead to 73-71 
Vasco Evtimov managed to make 
just one of two free throws, and 
North Carolina still was down 73-72 
with 15.4 seconds to play.

Weber State (25-7) seemed to have 
clinched it after Arceneaux's two free 
throws made it 75-72 and Owens 
threw the ball away. But the Wild­
cats' Eric Ketcham

M en's tennis to

■ When the No. 8 Texas men's 
tennis team lost to No. 1 0 Duke 
two weeks ago, it didn't sit well 
with the Longhorns. The loss was 
the team's first on the year, and 
also meant an early exit from the 
Indoor Team C ham pi­
ÍTA 
onships. The Horns have been 
patiently waiting for the opportu­
nity for revenge, and it finally 
arrives along with Duke as the 
teams square off at the 
two 
Penick-Allison Tennis Center on 
Friday.

"It's really been eating on a lot of 
guys," said senior Stephen Patak. 
"Ever since we've lost to them, 
we've known that we're gonna get 
our chance to get them back."

Not only did the 5-2 loss send 
them to the loser's bracket of the 
tournament, but it sent them into 
a mini-skim p which saw the 
Horns lose two of its next four 
matches.

But after crushing UNC 7-0 on 
Tuesday for its second straight 
win, Texas (10-3) seems to finally 
be picking things up right where 
they left off — at Duke.

"We'll be ready," said senior 
Jack Brasington, the No. 27 sin­
gles player in the nation. "I think 
anybody whose gotten beat by 
som ebody and has another 
chance at them is definitely going 
to be more fired up."

■ HOUSTON — Hakeem Olaju- 
won scored 31 points, including 
nine in the crucial closing min­
utes, as the Houston Rockets 
escaped a late charge by the Van­
couver Grizzlies for a 102-91 vic­
tory Thursday night.

The Rockets extended the Griz­
zlies' losing streak to 10 games, 
but they almost blew it in the 
fourth quarter.

The Rockets were up by 71-59 
with 1:59 to go in the third period 
and seemingly had the game 
under control before Vancouver 
made a late run.

Olajuwon had nine points in 
the final 4:15 and finished with 11 
rebounds. Shareef Abdur-Rahim 
led the Grizzlies with 27 points 
and Charles Barkley added 24 
points for Houston.

Blockbuster deal sends

Associated Press

Stephon Marbury, one of the most 
talented young point guards in the 
NBA, was dealt to the New Jersey 
Nets in a three-team, eight-player 
swap Thursday just hours before the 
league's trading deadline.

Three other minor deals were 
made, the Vancouver Grizzlies send­
ing Sam Mack to Houston for Rodrick 
Rhodes, the New York Knicks acquir­
ing die rights to Mirsad Turkcan from 
Philadelphia for a first-round pick 
and die Cleveland Cavaliers sending 
Vitaly Potapenko to Boston for 
Andrew DeClercq and a No. 1 pick.

By far the biggest deal of the day 
S e n t Marbury back home to the New 
York metropolitan area to play for 
the Nets, owners of the worst record 
in the Eastern Conference.

Nfw Jersey got Marbury after 
Miami, which was considering trad­
ing Tim Hardaway and P.J. Brown, 
backed out of a four-team deal, The 
Associated Press learned.

Marbury moved to the Nets along 
with guard Chris Carr and forward 
Bill Curley. The Wolves got guard 
Terrell Brandon from Milwaukee 
and forward Brian Evans and two 
draft choices from the Nets, includ­
ing a first-rounder, and New Jersey 
sent Sam Cassell and Chris Gatling 
to the Bucks, who also get Paul 
Grant from the Wolves.

"We were kind of forced into it," 
Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor 
said of the trade.

The proposed deal 

involving 
Miami also would have included 
Milwaukee, Minnesota and Vancou­

ver, but the Heat pulled out in mid-
•
aftemoop. 
A source closely involved in the 
trade talks, as well as a league offi­
cial with knowledge of the discus­
sions, said Miami was considering 
sending Hardaway to the Bucks and 
Brown to the Grizzlies.

"I think the Miami discussions were 
an exploratory thing" said agent 
David Falk. "When I spoke to coach 
Riley, I told him Stephon really want­
ed to go home to the New York area. I 
don't know exactly which players 
Miami was considering trading."

Taylor said the Wolves offered Mar­
bury the maximum deal under the 
NBA's new labor contract and were 
told that Marbury would not accept it 
and would leave Minnesota when He 
became a free agent this summer.

Hot Longhorns to be tested

Texas will ride the wave of 
impressive jumps in the MasterCard 
Collegiate Golf Rankings into the 
desert this weekend at the Golf 
Digest Collegiate Invitational at the 
Desert Inn Country Club in Las 
Vegas, Nev.

The Longhorns moved up in the 
rankings this week from seventh to 
third after winning their third tour­
nament of the season last week at 
the Southwestern Intercollegiate. 
The No. 3 Horns trail only top- 
ranked Clemson and the defending 
national champion No. 2 UNLV 
Rebels.

These top three teams will duke it

T E X A S M E N ' S 
G O L F

out this weekend along with a very 
strong field that consists of 10 teams 
ranked in the MasterCard poll. Join­
ing 
the Longhorns, Tigers and 
Rebels will be No. 4 Georgia Tech, 
No. 5 Oklahoma State, No. 6 Hous­
ton, No. 7 Georgia and No. 9 Ari­
zona State. Other competitors taking 
part in this event include No. 13 
Minnesota, No. 21 California, Vir­
ginia, Arizona, New Mexico, SMU 
and TCU.

Freshman David Gossett regained 
his No. 1 ranking in the MasterCard 
individual rankings after a brief stint 
when he ranked second. Georgia 
Tech sophomore Bryce Molder, the

1998 Jack Nicklaus Player of the 
Year, held the top position for only a 
week before dropping into second.

These two college-golf heavy­
weights will get a chance to battle it 
out on the course this weekend. 
Seven of the nation's top 10 golfers 
will be present at this tournament, 
making it one of the most competi­
tive fields of the season thus far.

Joining Gossett on the links for 
Texas will be fellow freshmen John 
Klauk, the nation's 97th ranked 
golfer, Matt Brost and Russell 
Surber. Sophomore Brandon Huff­
man will be the Longhorns' most 
experienced golfer at the tourna­
ment. Huffman moved up in the lat­
est rankings from 29th to 18th.

The No. 6 Texas women's tennis 
team has had its own madness in 
March.

In preparation for its mid-season 
surge, Texas' schedule has paired 
them against fierce, formidable com­
petition, of which the most recent 
have included four Top 15 teams. 
Texas broke even in the four road 
m atches, and 
the 
Longhorns will host No. 9 Wake For­
est and No. 2 Duke at the Penick- 
Allison Tennis Center.

this w eekend 

"If it's going to be a special season 
for us, we start turning it on around 
mid-to-late M arch,"said UT coach

T E X A S W O M E N ' S 
T E N N I S

Jeff Moore. "The team has had to 
learn to believe in its ability to play 
with the top teams in the country. 
It's had to develop the ability to put 
pressure on opponents throughout a 
match, and that comes with perse­
verance and time."

The Horns definitely showed per­
severance against UCLA and Pep- 
perdine last week, w inning both 
matches despite injuries to four key 
players. H opefully the tim e has 
come too, as the Horns prepare for 
this weekend.

If the Horns are going to win, the

freshmen must continue to play well.
"They [freshmen] have no prob­
lem with desire or intensity," said 
Moore. "They need to balance inten­
sity with poise, to execute under 
pressure."

Texas uses aggressive baseline 
play, as Moore calls it, against its 
opponents. This includes a strong 
first serve to force weak, and a solid 
net game set-up with aggressive 
ground strokes.

Moore relates his aggressive style 
to the man-to-man defense the UT 
men's basketball team plays under 
coach Rick Barnes.

"It7s an attacking style and helps 
to motivate the players to pressure 
the other team," Moore said.

Catcher Jaso n Cox has played an integral role in a Texas offensive attack that has started to heat up recently.

change in schedule that has pro­
duced the Big 12 wins.

Daily Texan Staff

Willie Nelson would have a good 
ol' time if he joined Kansas State on 
the bus trip over to Disch-Falk Field 
on Friday.

Kansas State will be on the road 
again, just like its been all season 
lo n g when the Cats visit Austin for 
a three-game series with No. 10 
Texas over the weekend.

And if Nelson's still hurting for 
money, he may want to see about 
getting a job as the Wildcat's new 
mascot. They'd probably welcome 
him with open arms as long as he 
didn't insist on the team wearing 
bandanas and braided hair.

The Wildcats have yet to play a 
gam e in their home stadium — 
Frank Myers Field — due to renova­
tions, and depending on when the 
refurbishing is complete, the Cats 
may not compete on their new grass 
surface the entire year.

tough 

"T h at's 

for any 

team ," 
Texas shortstop Jason Moore said of 
the W ildcats' possible year-long 
travels. "I don't know what their sit­
uation is wivh facilities, but it's got to 
be really tough on them."

Kansas State is 8-9 overall and 0-3 
in the Big 12 Conference, and if the 
Horns can hand the Cats three loss­
es, their extended road trip may start 
to feel like a bad acid trip.

A Texas sweep, would tie the 
Horns' best conference start since 
1990's 9-0 beginning to the South-

west Conference season.

However the Longhorns (16-6) 
haven't even considered the afore­
mentioned scenario.

"If we start thinking about winning 
on Sunday, before we know it we'll be 
trying to prevent getting swept," said 
junior Scott Dunn, who is coming off 
a victory last weekend over Kansas 
and will get the Friday start.

the m om éntum 

Texas head coach Augie Garrido 
added, "O ur team is going to show 
up knowing that they have to battle 
for 
inning by 
inning, pitch by pitch and stay 
within the team 's plans. It doesn't 
take very much to make that go 
upside down and that is where our 
focus is."

The Longhorns have been helped 
along to the six-pack of conference 
wins by a favorable beginning to 
their Big 12 schedule.

Texas has faced M issouri and 
Kansas, w hich have a com bined 
co n feren ce record o f 1-11. The 
com petition has been a far cry 
from last y e a r's opening Big 12 
opponents, Baylor and Texas Tech, 
w hich bu llied 
the L onghorns 
around, handing them five losses 
and breaking their confidence in 
the process.

But Texas has proven that this is 
not the same team that got steam- 
rolled by 
last year, 
the Big 12 
outscoring the Tigers and Jayhawks 
it isn't the
69-21. And Garrido said 

"I'm not willing to say that the 
main reason is the schedule," Garri­
do said of the Horns' quick confer­
ence start. "I know for sure that the 
main reason we're playing better 
baseball is the attitude that the play­
ers have about their responsibilities 
as a team."

Texas will look to its offense, 
which put up a season-high 23 runs 
on Tuesday against Texas-Pan Amer­
ican, to take advantage of the three 
Wildcat starters — none of which 
have an ERA under six.

The Horns have slapped around 
Big 12 pitchers this season, posting a 
team batting average of .388, and 
much of the damage has been done 
by third baseman Chris Houser.

After watching his average hover 
around 
.200 for the first dozen 
games of the year, the junior has 
gone from "hardluck" Houser to 
"hardknock" Houser. He's upped 
his average to .2% and is batting 
.500 in conference play.

"E arlier in the season nothing 
would fall for m e," Houser said. "If 
I hit it well they'd make a great 
play and everything was going 
against me 
the offensive 
standpoint. Now I'm just seeing the 
ball well and taking advantage of 
the pitches."

physical and they will rely on their 
defense. It's just going to depend on 
which team plays better."

Perimeter shooting will be just as 
big a key as consistency, however, 
after a poor performance led to 
their demise against Oklahoma 
State in the semifinals of the Big 12 
tournament.

Teams have made a habit of col­
lapsing into the paint to shut down 
Mihm and forward Gabe Muoneke, 
who average 30 points per game for 
the Longhorns. If the Texas guards 
can't step up and knock down 
shots, the Horns' stay in Boston 
could end prematurely.

"We didn't knock down our shots 
before, but I know we are capable of 
making them," Clack said. "We're 
going to have to come out and play 
aggressively if we want to beat Pur­
due."

UT divers look to pick up 
momentum at NCAA meet

Joe Mladinich
Daily Texan Staff

The University of Texas divers 
have carried the swimming and div­
ing team on their shoulders all year 
long.

They hope to continue that trend 
at the NCAA championships, but 
first they have to qualify this Friday 
and Saturday at the NCAA Regional 
Championships 
in Fayetteville, 
Arkansas.

The competition looks to be a 
mere stepping stone for 1997 NCAA 
platform champion Laura Wilkin­
son, who is favored to win the 
championship again this year.

Wilkinson is coming off her sec­
ond Big 12 championship in the 
platform and won her first Big 12 
title in the 3rmeter springboard 
three weeks ago at the Jamail Swim­
ming Center here in Austin. She has 
consistently won all year long by 
being near the top at the end of the 
competition and then blowing past 
everyone with spectacular finishing

dives.

Also figuring prominently for 
the Longhorns is junior Kelley 
Persinger and freshman Natalia 
Deia. Persinger helped Texas 
sweep the top spots in all three div­
ing events at the Big 12 champi­
onships by winning the 1-meter 
springboard.

Deia has been improving all sea­
son and has come off strong as of 
late. She showed flashes of bril­
liance with several of the highest 
scoring dives in the Big 12 champi­
onship while finishing second in 
the 3-meter and taking third in the 
1-meter and platform competi­
tions.

Several Longhorn swimmers have 
already qualified for the NCAA 
championships. 
NCAA 
announced last Friday that eight 
swimmers from the University of 
Texas had been invited to compete

hands, and the Tar Heels guard 
made a layup to cut it to 75-74.

When Jackson was fouled as soon 
as the ball was inbounds, only 1.2 
seconds remained. He made one of 
two free throws and Arceneaux 
intercepted the long downcourt pass 
at the buzzer as Weber State fans 
stormed the Key Arena court.

Eddie Gill, an 87 percent free 
throw shooter, made four in a row in 
the last 40.6 seconds for the Big Sky 
Conference champion Wildcats.

D e t r o i t 56, UCLA 53

INDIANAPOLIS — Daniel Whye 
scored four points and grabbed a 
key rebound in the final minutes as 
12th-seeded Detroit beat UCLA 56- 
53 Thursday night in the opening 
round of the NCAA South Regional

Jermaine Jackson had 17 points and 
Rashad Phillips 16 for Detroit which 
survived going seven minutes with­
out a field goal in the first half and

five minutes in the second half.

Whye hit two free throws with 
1:53 to play, giving Detroit a 49-48 
lead. Barwi Davis, who had 18 
points, gave UCLA its final lead at 
50-49 with* 1:45 remaining. Phillips 
*hit two free throws as Davis fouled 
out with 1:19 left.

Whye grabbed a rebound off the 
defensive glass after an exanchge of 
turnovers, then hit a jumper to put 
Detroit ahead 53-50. Desmond Fer­
guson sank two more free throws 
for Detroit with 4.3 seconds to go.

JaRon Rush closed out the scorin 
for UCLA by hitting a 3-pointer wi 
1.3 seconds to go as the Bruins fin­
ished with a season-low point total.

Detroit (25-5) will play Ohio State 
(24-8) in one of Saturday's semifi­
nals at the RCA Dome. Top-seeded 
Auburn (28-3) takes on Oklahoma 
State (23-10) in the opener.

from the powerhouse Southeastern 
Conference, by far the toughest in 
the nation.

"We feel like we're a team that's 
matured," Ciampi said. "February's 
been a month of valleys, but we've 
emphasized the fact that we have to 
play better."

For Conradt, the situation is rem­
iniscent of the 1994 postseason, 
when she took a team with four key 
rookie contributors — many of 
whom had never even been to a 
Taco Bell before college — to New 
Jersey for a second-round NCAA 
matchup with No. 14 Seton Hall.

The young Longhorns seemingly 
folded before tip-off, fell down by a 
double-digit deficit early, but recov-

in 

ered 
respectable, losing 71-66.

time 

to make 

things

"After they realized they could 
play with them, they made a game 
out of it," Conradt said. "This 
team's a lot like that, too. Once you 
get them over that hump, they're 
really good.

"I don't know what to expect of 

them."

For now the young Horns will 
have to rely on what they do know, 
under the premise, that television 
doesn't lie.

"From watching it on TV, I expect 
it to be intense," Hill said. "Every­
body will be going at it like its their 
last — which I guess it is."

Softball
Continued from page 9

thought you were hurt, how can you 
make this many changes?"'

Texas was hurt, indeed. Eastes sat 
out the game with a dislocated 
shoulder sustained last week in 
Florida, Cockrell was sidelined 
recovering from a concussion and 
Teixeria stayed in Austin with the 
flu. To accomadate for these key 
absences Clark used 12 different bat­
ters in the game, and several line-up 
changes to keep the Bobcats guess­
ing.

With the nucleus of their offense 
reduced to idle spectators, Nd.ll 
Texas (17-8) looked to every hitter in 
the line-up to manufacture hits. Lit­
erally. Every Longhorn batter post­
ed at least one hit off the Bobcats' 
Amber Mosher (9-8), many of which 
came in the fifth inning when Texas 
scored four runs and used seven 
batters to break open the game.

Down 3-2 to start the fifth after 
Bobcat Carmen Grindell blasted a 
home run over the left field wall, 
Texas second baseman Tracy Wis­
dom would lead off the bottom of 
the inning with an infield single to 
start the Longhorn rally. Third base­
man Keely Franks' line-drive to left 
put Texas with runners on first and 
second, when Christa Williams 
roped a double to left center to drive 
in Wisdom and Franks and reclaim 
the Texas lead, 4-3.

Texas would then tack on two

more runs in the inning, as catcher 
Courtney Ryan smacked a double 
almost identical to Williams to score 
the Texas ace from second. A Trisha 
Tatro single then scored Ryan to put 
Texas up 6-3, and the Horns would 
add three runs in the final two 
innings to tie their highest run total 
of the season, dating back to Ae 
opening game at St. Edward's.

"It wasn't like we had a hit here or 
a hit Aere, Aey were all consecutive 
and everyone seemed to respond," 
said Franks, who finished Ae game 
2-for-4 wiA two RBIs. "One through 
nine we all did our job. If we needed 
a bunt we got a bunt, and if we 
needed a hit we got one. We didn't 
really feel any pressure, we all just 
felt on tonight."

On A e mound for Texas in the 
first three innings was Williams, 
who posted an atypical effort after 
enduring a rocky first 
inning. 
Williams would give up five hits 
and two runs before handing Ae 
ball over to Charla Moore in the 
fourth, who watched her first batter, 
Grindell, take her deep. But follow1- 
ing Grindell's blast Moore and Car­
men Martinez would team to thwart 
the Bobcats, allowing just three 
more hits in the final four innings.

Clark said she hopes Eastes, 
Cockrell and Teixeira to be ready for 
their Kia {Classic tournament next 
week in California.

Documentaries show the 
true side of filmmaking

Rhys Southan
Daily Texan Staff

D ocum entaries are stereotyped 
by some Hollywood-lovers as life­
less and lacking in entertainm ent 
value, u n less th e y 're som ething 
gruesom e like Faces o f Death or a 
Fox undercover special. However, 
those who have seen a few docu­
m entaries know th a t they a re n 't 
just history lessons. In fact, they can 
be just as interesting, if not more so, 
(han narrative films, because they 
tell stories about real life.
- A good portion of the SXSW film 
schedule is devoted to docum en­
tary fare, giving am ple opportunity 
tor film fans to see how exciting 
seal life can be. M ost of the docu­
m e n ta rie s are s h o rte r th a n th e 
average featu re film , w ith m any 
just barely h ittin g the 60-m inute 
mark, decreasing the odds of docu­
m entary fans wasting two hours in 
a movie they dislike.

Human Interest

_ Dram atic n arrativ e films som e­
tim es seem phony and m anipula­
tive because the audience can imag­
ine the film m akers dream in g u p 
tear-jerking contrivances. So when 
documentaries cover similar mater­
ial, it's usually more effective.

By centering around a freak acci­
dent that took the life of his mother

w h en he was a child, film m aker 
Joseph Lovett uses The Accident to 
provide insight into the subjectivi­
ty of memory and the perception of 
family relationships.

In My Friend Paul, two childhood 
friends grow apart and take wildly 
different roads in life. Jonathan is 
an unknow n filmmaker, and Paul 
is a bank robber. After Paul lands 
in p ris o n , Jo n a th a n d e c id e s to 
make this movie about him, but he 
sacrifices m ore than he in tended 
w hen Paul breaks parole and lives 
w ith Jonathan in M anhattan for the 
duration of filming.

Music
Fans of both music and film may 
be frustrated by SXSW's policy of 
holding those two festivals sim ul­
tan e o u sly , so th e m u sic -re la te d 
d o c u m e n ta ry fe a tu re s can be a 
worthwhile compromise.

Hill Stomp Hollar profiles a year 
in the life of bluesm en R.L. Burn­
sid e , T -M odel F ord a n d C ed ell 
D avis as the m usicians en tertain 
bar patro n s and collaborate w ith 
the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. 
The emotional depth of the film is 
provided by descriptions of life in 
the racist sharecropping system of 
Mississippi in the past.

F o u r T exas b o y s set o u t on a 
s p o n ta n e o u s q u e s t to fin d th e 
m o stly fo rg o tte n '60s rock sta r

Tony Joe W hite in Searching fo r 
Tony Joe. The film also details the 
rise and fall of W hite's career to 
p erh ap s explain w hy a g ro u p of 
friends could be compelled to seek 
him out.

Sex
Even th e s ta u n c h e s t re a l-life 
haters will be drawn to the raunchi­
est documentaries of the bunch. But 
there probably w on't be many gra­
tuitous sex scenes or 13-inch penis 
shots in these, unless it's a com ­
mentary on the sex-selling lifestyle.

W hat goes on in the head of an 
educated woman who has sex with 
251 m en in 10 hours before going

SXSW Film: ‘Go’ see the ‘Splendor’ of ‘EdTV’

Continued from page 16
Saturday, March 13, Convention Cen­
ter, 3:15 p.m. and Monday, March 15,
Convention Center, 8:30 p.m.

Also riding off the Sundance wave 
is Go, Doug Liman's sophomore fol­
low-up to his 1996 indie bookmark 
Swingers. Dawson's Creek’s Katie 
H olm es and The Sweet Hereafter’s 
Sarah Polley are part of an ensemble 
cast that also includes Party of Five's 
Scott Wolf. This eclectic black comedy 
takes place over one wild night as a 
group of Los Angeles youngsters set 
out on a road trip to Las Vegas in a 
mad quest for drugs and other deca­
dent endeavors. Let's hope this one 
turns out better than last year's miser­
able Very Bad Things, also a black com­
edy focusing on a trip to Vegas. Tues­
day, Marchl6, Dobie, 7:30 p.m. and 
Friday, March 19, Convention Center,
8:00 p.m.

A Walk on the Moon marks the direc­
torial debut of actor Tony Goldwyn 
(Ghost) and stars D iane Lane as a 
repressed housewife who falls for a 
traveling blouse salesm an (Viggo

Mortensen). This Miramax romancer 
(set against the social turmoil of the 
late '60s) has already won over audi­
ences at Sundance, especially for 
Oscar-winner Anna Paquin's perfor­
mance. Monday, March 15, Dobie, 
8:30 p.m. and Thursday, March 18, 
Convention Center, 6:15 p.m.

Director Gregg Araki (Nowhere) 
leaves the world of teen angst and 
delves into the world of raging hor­
mones with Splendor, a randy little 
romantic comedy about a menage a 
trois that updates screwball comedies 
of the '40s like His Girl Friday . Kath­
leen Robertson, Matt Keeslar and 
Jonathan Schaech star as the famed 
threesome. Saturday, March 13, Para­
mount, 5:30 p.m. and Friday, March 
19, Paramount, 5 p.m.

Lili Taylor (7 Shot A n dy Warhol) 
stars in A Slipping Down Life, Tony 
Kalem's drama based on Anne Tyler's 
story of a w om an who falls for a 
famous singer after she hears his voice 
on the radio. That may not sound like 
much, but T yler's stories usually
\I 

EMPLOYMENT 

11 

make for winning adaptations (see 
The Accidental Tourist), and Taylor's 
screen presence can elevate any 
movie. Kalem will be attending the 
premiere. Saturday, March 13, Para­
m ount, 7:45 p.m. and Thursday, 
March 18, Dobie, 6:30 p.m.

Competing in the narrative compe­
tition is Macbeth in Manhattan, the first 
feature from w riter/d irecto r Greg 
Lom bardo, that stars ER's Gloria 
Ruben. Life starts to imitate art when 
a theatre production of Macbeth begins 
to mirror the lives of the performers. 
Fireworks ensue as the play progress­
es. Sunday, March 14, Dobie, 3:45 
p.m .; Thursday, M arch 18, Para­
mount, 9:45 a.m. and Saturday, March 
20, Dobie, 11:30 a.m.

Aside from n arrativ e features, 
SXSW also showcases a number of 
docum entary features by directors 
like Nick Broom field (Kurt & 
Courtney) and Cass Paley, whose doc­
umentary Wadd: The Life and Times of 
John C. Holmes chronicles the porn 
industry's most notorious, er, star.

Australian wunderkind Ben Lee's 
soft-spoken folk-rock is happy music 
for the lovesick. His live snows are 
known for their poppy, lovely feel. 
This is the guy who wrote a beautiful 
folk song about sitcom s from the 
1980s. He's simply god-like for that 
reason alone, but tíre rest of his catalog 
is just as sweet. Ben Lee's show will be 
a great appetizer for his Grand Royal 
lab elm ates C ibo M atto and th eir 
astounding live set (later at La Zona 
Rosa). Starting off with Lee, these two 
Grand Royal icons are gonna blow up

El Gran Silencio
Scholz Beer G arten — Saturday, 

March 20,10 p.nfl..

One of the most interesting hip-hop 
acts to come out o f Mexico, El Gran 
Silencio throws infectious accordion 
riffs together with hyperactive verbal 
exchanges to create an all-out musical 
assault. Fresh off a European stint, die 
band's mostly acoustic set should be 
as tight as ever. A sound that dares 
you to remain still alongside lyrics 
that demand to be heard, make El 
Gran Silencio a relentless workout for 
both the feet and the mind.
— Rene' Peñaloza-Galvún

Guillotina
Scholz Beer G arten — Saturday, 

One of the most consistent Mexican 
rock bands Of the 90s, Guillotina has 
always shied away from the stereo­
types of "rock en español." The result 
is something more akin to Fugazi than 
to anything in their own country. The 
band has gained a strong national fol­
lowing on the strength of their live 
shows, which combine fine musician­
ship with straightforward punk atti­
tude.

Queens of the Stone Age
Emo's — Saturday, March 20, mid­

No one ever poured it as thick and 
heavy as Kvuss, and from their ashes 
comes Queens of the Stone Age. The 
Queens still keep it nice and heavy, 
but they also add an air of unpre- 
dictabilitv to go with their punishing 
songs. W atch for som e lap steel to 
accompany the brutal sonic crush and 
some good old rock 'n' roll attitude to 
rock your socks off. What should you 
expect? Anything.

— Kurt Scott Hopke

Beth Orton
Antone's — Thursday, March 18,10 

p.m.

She's got the greatest voice ever. 
She is a siren calling Odysseus with 
her beautiful song. England's Beth 
Orton can seduce ears, sending listen­
ers up peaks and down valleys of 
emotion. A chance to hear that voice

Queens of the Stone A ge rock harder than anyone else.

SXSW bite

It has been a couple of years since 

we've heard anything from Aus­
tralia's cutest export, Ben Lee, 
but that doesn't mean he has 
given up music to romance 
Claire Danes full time. The 
former "child prodigy" 
spent the time growing 
up and working on his 
latest album, Breathing 
Tornados.

U n fo rtu n ately for 

Lee, growing up in die spotlight wasn't 
too good for his sound. Lee's populari­
ty with cntics was always based on the 
sincere and youthful observations 
about life that poured out of his little 
14-year-old heart and into his songs. 
Take that startling sincerity away, 
replace it with boring self-conscious­
ness and you've got Breathing Tornados.
Lee and collaborator Ed Buller pro­
duced the entire album on a computer, 
and the result is as about as detached

as you can get for a folk album. 
Together, they manufactured 
every note, save Lee's so-so 
guitar playing, to give the 
album a "fearless" sound. 
"F e a rle ss" is hard ly the 

word for it. 

'Tomados," written 
with the help of ultra­
hip filmmaker Harmo­
ny Korine, is a pop-radio 
wannabe that your mom 
could groove to. "Cigarettes will Kill 
You" is another perfectly likable, per­
fectly forgettable sing-along. Neither 
one is really bad; they're just not what 
you'd expect from the infamous Ben 
Lee.

Among the most interesting songs 
on the album is "Sunflower," a teaser 
for those listeners who scan Lee's every 
word for signs of sweet introspection.

In it, he sings 'Today a boy became 
a man/ 'Cause he prepared himself to

fail." He goes on to sing "I am the hero 
of this tale," as if we needed him to tell 
us.

"Birthday Song," the album's neces­
sary ode to Danes, is about as bad as 
Breathing Tornados gets. Lee plays the 
same four chords over and over as he 
sings "Y o u 're the only thing I 
want/The only thing on my mind/ All 
the time."

"Birthday Song" and most of the 
o ther songs on this G rand Royal 
release make one wonder if Lee nas 
been spending his time with Counting 
Crows instead of the Beastie Boys. At 
this point, though it wouldn't matter. 
Ben Lee is 20 and still writing songs 
like a 14-year-old, and no amount of 
indie credibility could save him or 
Breathing Tornados from that.

Guided By "

Robert Pollard, leader, singer and Bii
Rock progenitor of the Dayton, Ohio rocí 
band
Voices, comes across like a
Crazy Uncle Bob. He's like the guy who has
a few too many at the family reunion and 
decides to karaoke Beatles songs.

On paper, the 41-year-old indie rocker, 
father of two and form er fou rth-grad e 
teacher doesn't seem like the extrovert type. 
But on stage, Pollard becomes a performer, 
infusing the '60s classics with touches of '70s 
showmanship. Flying leg kicks, mixed with 
flailing, out-of-control microphone's and 
fast-disappearing bottles of Budweiser make 
for an exciting rock show.

For the en core of G B V 's last 

Austin show, PQllard em ptied 
out his supply of complimenta 
ry beers to the sweaty front 
row fans.

The crow ds often sing 

^long to th eir favorite 
songs, with Pollard leading 
Ihe way. Although he may 
get sloppy and slur a few 
words, the band and the 
fans are there to carry 
the weight.

"We learned the theatrics even before we 
learned to p la y ," Pollard exp lain ed . "I 
thought it was a good, exciting part of the 
live performance to bring back to the music. 
... Some people may misconstrue that as pos­
turing, but I think [showmanship's] a part of 
rock mat's missing."

GBV are clearly mavericks in their attempt 
to bring back the total rqck experience. Many 
of their indie rock counterparts frown upon 
any kind of boisterous stage presence.

Pollard weighs in his two cents: "I don't 
like that. I want to see something. ... I like

GUIDED BY VOICES
Whan: Saturday, March 20 
Playing at Waterloo Park 
Opaning: The Damnations, Spoon, The Gourds

some of that music, some of it's nice to listen 
to if you're in the right mood, but if you 
want to' go to a rock show it's always better 
to see something that has energy."

With the lineup of GBV changing after 
alm ost every album , people w ithin the 
industry have been inclined to label 
Pollard a tyrant. But Pollard is no 
slave driver.

"It's not a difficult thing to be in 
G uided By V oices," Pollard 
explains. "Lf it feels to me like this 
gu y's not part of GBV or the 
chemistry's not right, well, maybe 
I will change it. So no, I'm 
not a total dictator or any­
thing, but I do have to have 
it the way I want it."

GBV's future album, enti­
tled D o the Collapse, (a sly refer­
ence to the b an d 's age, per­
haps?), was finished last fall, but the band is 
currently negotiating with other labels, as 
well as with New York's Matador, who has 
released the band's past few albums.

"W e're trying to soeed it up. This has 
been going on for a while. One label specifi­
cally said that if we sign with them they'll 
get it out by June," Pollard said.

The band spent a lot of money recording 
the album — they hired on big-time produc­
er Ric Ocasek — so the delay brings its frus­
trations.

"We've been playing this stuff out for a

SXSW bite

Mark Durante follows that with 
the most b eau tifu l and genuine 
steel-guitar melody to come around 
this aecad e on "H ello to Every­
body."

Tne highlight of the album, and 
perhaps the m ost radio-friendly 
song, is "The Hand That Throws the 
Bottle Down." Kelly Hogan's guest 
vocals bring a surreal quality to the 
classic loser down-on-his-luck story.
The drugs make their appearance 
in "Broken Down Row," which tells 
the ugly story of cocaine addiction.

Like all good rebels (and country 
artists), the Waco Brothers have a 
little bit of the devil in them. 
"Good for Me" confesses, "I 
know w h at's good but 
sometimes it's good/To do 
all the other things." The 
devil himself shows up 
in "Corrupted."

But what is a good 
album 
cou ntry 
w ith ou t 
some 
h eartb reak , you 
ask? The W aco 
Brothers definitely 
have plenty of that. 
Red Brick W all" 
laments a lost love with such melan­
choly lyrics as "Since you left me 
babv. I'm never where I belong."

The band even throws in a little 
revenge on their heartbreakers on 
"R egrets," "But you crippled me 
with what you said last n igh t/I'll 
friend of 
ch eatin g 
get 
mine/And then I'll set you right."

that 

"Fam ous Last W ords" fittingly 
closes the album with fiddles, steel 
guitars and whiskey, all the proper 
ingredients of an insurgent country 
album . W elcom e to Waco World.

WACO WORLD
By: Waco Brothers 
Label: Epic
Rating: ★★★/? (out of five)

Insurgent: a person who revolts 
against civil authority or an estab­
lished governm ent. 
Insurgent 
Country: the Waco Brothers.

With their fourth release, Waco 
W orld, on C h icag o 's B lood sh ot 
Records, the Waco Brothers are def­
initely insurgents. Their target? The 
Shania Twains, Garth Brooks and 
Dixie Chicks of today's "coun­
try" music.

M ade up of 

form er 

members of the Mekons,
Jesus Jones and KMFDM, 
the Waco Brothers might 
seem an unlikely coun­
try band. But tn at's 
definitely what they 
are. 
Sum m oning 
Joh n n y Cash, Bob 
W ills and G eorge 
Jones, they are try­
ing to brin g back w hat country 
music used to be. (And no, they are 
not from Waco. They are not even 
from Texas. They're mostly British!)
But the Waco Brothers nave read 
their cou ntry handbooks. They 
teach the three D's on Waco Worla: 
drinking, drugs and the devil.

The Clash and the Pogues might 
not exactly be country, but they are 
invoked 
in the opening track 
"P igsville." The party starts here 
with 
of 
whiskey /When you thought no one 
was listening."

It’s # juiigib oiit there

Here are our picks of the litter for South By Southwest

Lo Fidelity Alistan
La Zona Rosa — Thursday, March 18, 11

p.m.

These lads are m usic's latest "it-band," 
garnering praise for their new album How To 
Operate With A Blown Mind. C om bining 
bombastic samples and beats with spoken- 
w ord an d h a rd c o re sy n th so u n d s, th is 
British group is a must-see next week. Lo 
Fidelity Allstars have a dynamic, spacey and 
throbbing style th at should get the entire 
crowd m oving at La Zona Rosa. W ord is 
that they'll be utilizing sampled vocals 
throughout because of their recently 
d e p a rte d vocalist. D o e sn 't m atter, 
because songs like their latest radio hit 
"Battle Flag" win with the already-sam­
pled vocals acting as an afterthought. 
Afterwards, definitely stick around for a
sure-to-be great night w ith Old 97s and 
Built To Spill.

— Matt Dentler

Mercury Rev
La Zona Rosa — Friday, March 19,11 p.m.
Coming off the heels of Deserter Songs, erne 
of 1998's most acclaimed albums, this New 
York band will no doubt thrill anyone within 
listening range. Using just about every mod­
ern instrum en t know n to m an (and then 
some), Mercury Rev is simply dazzling. This 
show should be one of the festi s top draws, so 
coming early would be wise. Lines will form, 
people will wait and all for good reason. Every 
em otion will be transfixed on the unpre- 
dictably gorgeous melodies Mercury Rev is 
known to produce.

— M D

Dead Prez
Bob Popular - Friday, March 19,10 p.m.
After a couple cameos on soundtracks, 
including Soul in the Hole, Dead Prez, who 
are straig h t o u t o f New York City, have 
been experim enting with some southern- 
styled beats on their new singles. Definitely 
check out this ambidextrous group as they 
combine and experiment with different hip- 
hop genres.

— Christopher Coletti

craft­
ed "protest" songs with an uptown sophistica­
tion. He'll preview his sophomore effort, set for 
a summer release, and also perform material 
from his self-titled debut, which he describes as 
"vibey and full of mistakes." He has opened 
for the likes of 10,000 Maniacs and Bob Dylan, 
and he flavors an acoustic foundation with 
smooth, jazzed-up vibes and a trance tempo, 
making for a kind of folk with a fat beat.

— Alex Smith

The Queers
Emo's — Friday, March 19,11 p.m.
Proudly carrying on the tradition of punk 
legends The Ramones, the Queers never bur­
den their audience with a serious message. 
Disregarding the tiresome issues of selling out 
and racial politics that occupy the attention of 
too many punk bands, the Queers instead 
make songs like "No Tit," "I Only Drink Bud" 
and 'Too Many Twinkles." Their main objec­
tive has always been to have fun, and never is 
this more evident than in their energetic live 
show. Influenced by bands as diverse as the 
Beach Bovs and Black Flag, their sound is an 
exuberant blend of fast beats and pop vocals. 
If you go to shows so you can jump around 
and drink beer, this is a must-see.

- K J

If s here. We've polled our staff and they've 
come up with a diverse mix of recommended 
shows for South By Southwest. Looking at the 
lists of 800-plus bands that are playing the con­
ference can be intimidating, so we've com­
piled a few can't-miss shows as well as some 
sleepers that should prove surprising. So in no 
particular order, we offer you the best of the 
best.

Asian Dub Foundation
Stubb's — Saturday, March 20,9 p.m.
This UK-based group of ethnic Indians 
rocks hard. Their political rants are coupled 
w ith crashing rock noise mixed w ith the 
booming bass and rapid breakbeats of jun­
gle. S ounding like an electronic Rage 
Against the Machine, they opened for the 
Beastie Boys in the cavernous Alamodome 
in San Antonio. They will be playing at 9 
p.m. on Saturday evening at the more inti­
mate Stubb's in what will most likely be a 
packed house. Get there early.

— Jeremiah Hayes

Cibo Matto

"Cibo Matto" is Italian for "food madness." 
Nearly every song on this Japanese duo's 
album Viva! La Woman is entirely devoted to 
food.

Lest you think M iho H atori and Yuka 
Honda are a little half-baked, remember that 
food can be exquisitely symbolic. Food can 
also be a metaphor for Cibo Matto's music, 
which is a generous helping of layer upon suc­
culent layer of melted bossa nova, crispv pop 
m elodies and juicy trip-hop, doused witn 
spicy vocals. Don't expect a unity of sound or 
style, but instead a delicious melange that will 
tan talize yo ur tastebud s and rock your 
evening.

Small towns, sex, rom ance and 
satire are but four of the many recur­
ring elements at the 6th Annual SXSW 
International Film Festival

From Wadd: The Life and Times of 
John Holmes to EdTV, SXSW offers a 
diverse variety of independent and 
mainstream narrative and documen­
tary features.

With daily screenings at Dobie, 
Paramount, Alamo Draft House and 
the Convention Center, SXSW should 
fulfill the m ost avid cinephile's 
appetite. Here's a guide to some of the 
festival's more notable screenings, 
some of which are already generating 
positive advance buzz.

M organ J. Freeman's Desert Blue 
kicks off opening-night festivities for 
SXSW. This small-town dramedy fea­
tu res C hristina Ricci and Casey 
Affleck as rebellious teens trapped by 
the confines of Baxter, CA. Sounds 
like Dancer, TX to me. Freeman, Ricci 
and Affleck are all scheduled to 
attend. Friday, 7 p.m., Paramount and 
Wednesday, March 17, Convention 
Center, 2:30 p.m.

Ron Howard's media satire EdTV 
premieres on Wednesday, March 17, 
but only for registered pass members. 
Howard, along with stars Matthew 
M cConaughey, Jenna Elfman and 
Woody Harrelson, are all scheduled 
to attend and take part in a special 
question-and-answer session follow­
ing the screening. This would be a 
perfect time to iron out any qualms

Lookout Records' bright and shiny new stars, foe Don­
nas, have had a pretty amazing year. The Palo Alto power- 
punk foursome have a cameo appearance in foe new flick 
Jawbreaker (in foe prom scene, no 
less), a new album in the works 
and a featured slot in Lookout's 
SX5W showcase — not bad for a 
bunch erf 19-year-olds.

"All through high school, we 
did this for fun," guitarist Alli­
son Robertson (a.k.a. Donna R.) 
said. "Things only started to get 
serious this year. All of a sudden, 

people have started to notice us."

Vocalist Brett Anderson (Donna A ), guitarist Robert­
son, bassist Maya Ford (Donna F.) and drummer Tony 
Castellano (Donna C.) started playing together at 13, 
when, as Robertson explained, they heard there would be 
a concert in their middle school.

"There were only guys playing, all rich with really nice 
equipment. We were like That's not fair! Girls should 
play,"' she said.

When the girls started high school, they went by the 
Electrocutes before hooking up with Darin Raffaelli to 
record under the name erf the Dramas.

"People just don't understand what a bunch of 19-year- 
olds are doing hanging out with a 32-year-old guy, but 
[Darin] is really fun and reálfy oooL"

And he's a tag influence cm the Dramas; he wrote most 
of the songs on their first two albums and a few singles, 
including "Let's Rab" and "A Boy Like You," The albums 
have practically made the Donnas a household name in 
California.

Unfortunately, the songs, along with the Dramas' pop- 
doll personas, also led critics to label the band "gim­
micky."

"We're not like that at afl," Robertson explained. "The

The Donnas, a band comprised of 19-year-olds, is looking for 
exposure with their set on the Lookout Records showcase.

movie [Jawbreaker] and foe photo shoots were pretty cool, 
but mostly, we love playing."

Robertson is particularly excited about the band's 

SXSW show.

"We played Emo's about this same time last year. It 
was crazy. It was packed and everyone was singing 
along. They knew foe words! We're just not used to that."
They're not used to the idea of playing with heroes L7, 

either.

"It's like our dream," Robertson said. "When we were 
playing our first show, it's what I imagined we'd be. Not 
just 'Pretty good fra girls', but good. Like L7.1 just hope 
we can meet them," she said of the Donnas' upcoming 
Houston show with foe band.

After the Texas tour, the band will get to work cm their 
soon-to-be-released album, The Donnas Get Skm-Ught. It's a 
project they're particularly proud of because it's one they 
wrote entirely by themselves.

"Our new CD is going to be a lot more exciting. I want 

it to be an album people party to," Rdjertson said.

The Donnas play Thursday, March 18, at Emo's at midnight
