In a rare move, Chairm an James Huffines allowed a state legislator, a student and two peace activists to argue against System management of the New Mexico lab. The four spoke for a total of about 25 minutes, shortly after Chancellor Mark Yudof gave a speech in support of a bid. Yudof said weapons research constitutes only a small part of the facility's interests, and the System would be doing a service to the country by operating the lab. "L o s A lam os is not, as som e fa cto ry ," a bom b su g g e st, Y u d of said. But he said he w as sensitive to those w ho oppose the bid because of moral or religious objections to weapons. Austin Van Zant, a member of opposition group UT Watch and the only student to speak at the meeting, said Yudof's remarks were more balanced Friday than in the past. "This w as the first time I'd heard him mention nuclear w eap­ ons," Van Zant said. Rep. Lon Bumam, D-Fort Worth, said the System has not been open and honest in its exploration of the bid, and called a letter that the System sent to state legislators "one-sided propaganda." "T he document is prejudicial and prem ature," he said. "H as the decision already been m ade?" Bumam urged the board to call an open forum to discuss the positives and negatives of the bid, saying UC has done a better job listening to student opinions while weighing its own decision to bid. Richard Smalley, recipient of the 1996 Nobel prize for chemistry and a researcher at Los Alamos, reiterated Yudof's claim s and spoke about the benefit of non­ w eapons work at Los Alamos. "Los Alamos is one of the great scientific temples in this country," he said. Contractors Interested in Bidding for Los Alamos • ADC Ltd. • Burns and Roe Enterprises Inc. • BWXT Operating Services LLC • CH2M Hill • Computer Sciences Corporation • Dade Moeller & Associates Inc. • Lockheed Martin Corporation • Northrup Grumman Technical Services Inc. • Tetra Tech Inc. • Titan Corporation • University of California • University of Texas System Stefan Wray, a member of UT Nuke Free, said the lab produces devices used at the core of the N avy's Trident II nuclear missile. "W hat you're heanng is point­ ing out the science," he said. "But 94 percent of funding goes tow ard weapons research." Karen Hadden, chairw om an of Peace Action Texas, said the System should not bid, because Los Alamos has a history of secu­ rity problems, and the System would be liable if the problems continue. She cited reports that security officials halted work at the lab Thursday as they searched for classified data that was dis­ covered missing July 9. "I'd like to think there's no way we could do a wrorse job than UC has done," Bum am said. "But thaLs not the most impor­ tant question." At a press conference held the Rev. the meeting, before Jim Rigby, of St. A ndrew 's in Austin, Presbyterian Church said he objected the bid because of the m oral problems with what he called "w eapons of mass destruction." to "U niversities are supposed to be about the public pursuit of truth and not secret m ilitan7 research," he said. The board did not directly respond to the speakers' objec­ tions, but read letters from sev­ eral local politicians supporting a bid, including U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas. "This partnership would apply the UT System s proven ability in academic science to the impor­ tant national objective of nucle­ ar research and developm ent," Hutchison said in her letter. The board took no action at the meeting, and has said that a final decision on a bid w ill not be made until the fall.

Leasing forms in hand, she left with no apartment, contemplating where she would look next. "I'm nervous looking for a place because it is so late and there are not too many options," Lopez, a history junior, said. "The place we were going to stay at had too manv things wrong with it. The locator was helpful, though, because he showed us around and already had things planned out." For Lopez and the many other students who em bark on semi-annual apartment searches, find­ ing a place to live can be difficult and time-consum­ ing. In addition to deciding where to live and who to live with, the length of the lease and the legal issues involved with renting are all things to con- j sider before signing. • Look at the actual unit you plan to rent before you sign any document or put down any money. • Check out the area in the evening for outside lighting, parking and safety. • Ask current residents how they like the complex. • Check around the units for obvious maintenance problems. • Get a crime statistics report for the area from the police department.

Oocyte storage allows women to freeze eggs for future Center w ill allow w om en to p ostp o n e starting fam ily A w om an's chance of getting pregnant begins to decrease significantly at age 35, and by age 45 there is almost a 90-percent chance that she will not be able to conceive, Hansard said. By Catherine Stone Daily Texan Staff Women in Texas can now7 actively pursue their careers into their 30s without putting their fertility in jeopardy by waiting to have children, because of a medical procedure now offered at the Texas Fertility Center in Austin. The center and Extend Fertility Inc. will begin this month to prov ide oocyte storage, a method of freez­ ing a wom an's eggs to preserve them for future use. The procedure consists of an initial surgical extrac­ tion of the eggs, after which they are chemically fro­ zen until the woman is ready to bear children. The procedure is designed to help women who are still single in their 30s and pursuing a career, or women who will have to undergo aggressive radia­ tion treatment for cancer that would render them infertile, said Dr. Lisa Hansard, a Texas Fertility Center physician. "The very steep drop in pregnancies after age 35 is related to the aging egg," she said. "Aging is the one thing that we can't make better." The procedure w7ill offer women a new flexibility and opportunity to pursue their careers, said Grace Drake, program administrator for Texas Fertility Center. Drake w ill also be the first woman in Texas to have her eggs frozen. "Women aren't the hourly employees anymore: They run multimillion-dollar corporations," she said. Drake added that the procedure may alleviate ten­ sion for women in their late 30s not yet in a serious relationship. "They wrill not feel pressure to start or push a relationship towards marriage, just so that they can have a family," she said.

JULY 19,2004 NEWS BRIEF Experts encourage energy gas exploration as gas prices rise Texas should explore natural gas, coal and new energy sources in order to reduce oil imports and make energy more affordable, experts said Friday at a meeting of the Texas Energy Planning Council. The volatile political situation in the Middle East, where U.S. major oil imports come from, has continued to make prices fluctuate dramatically, said Ron Oligney, an adjunct professor and director of engineering research development at the University of Houston. “[The oil price] is poised to ‘spike’ to $50 with a single Middle East event,” he said. He added the oil price will prob­ ably even creep to $50 absent any major geopolitical events. The oil price is approaching Oligney’s prediction. The spot price for West Texas Intermediate crude oil exceeded $40 for the first time in more than six weeks, gaining $1.80 per barrel on the week to trade at $40.98, according to the latest oil price release from the Energy Information Administration. Oligney said oil will continue to be an important energy source in the future. “Oil, gas and coal will dominate the energy for the next 50-to-70 years,” Oligney said. Texas has the largest oil reserves in the United States. The Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission estimates that the total oil reserves in the United States are estimated at 533 billion barrels, most of which cannot be produced under current economic conditions. At the current U.S. consumption rate of 20 million barrels per day, that’s about 73 years of total U.S. oil consumption, according to the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, a national gas trade association. According to the association, if all the known oil reserves in the United States were tapped, they could displace 100 percent of crude oil imports for 121 years. “By increasing domestic oil pro­ duction from known oil reserves, the U.S. backs out imported oil from other countries and increases our military security,” according to the association’s report. Oligney said gas and coal could substitute for oil to meet Texas’ energy needs. “Texas is the natural gas state,” Oligney said. Texas has the largest natural gas reserves in the country and has the means to supply natural gas to energy providers, Oligney said. Coal could be another solution if natural gas proves to be too expen­ sive, he added. “ [A] focus on the use of coal gas­ ification for power production can provide Texas with the lead here, as well," Oligney said. — Alice Wu Landlord talks critical Ngai to stay at high-security prison Shakespeare at W inedale actor Casey Caldwell illumi­ nates a walkway at a fund-raising gala on Saturday.

STUDENT HOUSING, FROM 1 to classes. In contrast off-campus hous­ ing tends to have more space and fewer restrictions farther away from campus, and often requires the weeklv trips to the grocer)' store and consideration of other responsibilities, such as legal matters. Elena Quiambao, a leasing agent and manager for the Taylor Company, one of the many man­ agement companies in the UT area, cautioned students to make sure they understand the signifi­ cance of what's involved with most rental agreements before they sign any lease. Most landlords provide for lease breaking within the con­ tract. Costs can range from free to 85 percent of one month's rent or full payment of the rent for the rest of the lease term, according to the Legal Services for Students handbook. Ramond Schiflett, director of Legal Services for Students, said that one-third of the cases brought in by the approximately 2,000 students who get free legal counseling and representation from the University service are landlord-tenant based. If you have a problem during your lease, Schiflett recommends to first talk with your landlord, and always have a reasonable solution in mind. If you still have a problem after going to the landlord, that's where Legal Services for Students can help. "If talking to the landlord fails, I recommend you go see us," Schiflett said. "W hat w ill happen is, one of our lawyers w ill assess the situation and see if you have a good legal claim or not." From there, he said, one of the lawyers would write a letter to the landlord on the student's behalf requesting a remedy to the problem and if a reason­ able time passes and there is no change is made, the office would help the student go to court. In addition to providing legal representation, Legal Services for Students also provides in- depth information about a vari­ ety of legal issues that students commonly face, including land­ lord-tenant laws. Their office is located on the third floor of the Student Services Building. Because of trouble in the past, Quaimbao's management com­ pany stresses what's involved with signing a lease as part of the application process. "W e haven't had problems lately, because now we try to explain more thoroughly all the details when students sign the lease," Quiambao said. "If you go through a locator, try to get a feel for how good the man­ agement company is, because they're the people you w ill go to if you have a problem for the next year or nine months." The housing market has picked up considerably in the past year, with people starting to look sooner, Quiambao said, "A ll of our properties are 100 percent full already for the upcoming school year, as opposed to 60 percent occupan­ cy at the same time last year," Quiambao said. "Start looking 30 days before you want to move in to make sure you find a place you like — sometimes you can find a deal as the fall semester approaches." The event included a $125-per-plate dinner, a silent auction and sneak previews of selected scenes from this year's plays, “ Macbeth," "The Tempest" and "The M erry W ives of Windsor." The fund-raiser was part of an overall effort by the English department to create a $3 million endowed grant to ensure the Winedale program's financial future. This year, the program received national recognition by w ay of a challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to help with fund-raising efforts. The grant is expected to provide Shakespeare at Winedale with $200,000 in federal funds if the program can raise $800,000 of its own money over the next four years. "W hen we complete it, which we hope to do within the year, it w ill give us a $3 million permanent endow­ ment, which w ill help cover some of [the] costs," said James Loehlin, an English professor and director of the program. "W e don't want students to be prevented from doing this because of really high costs." Students participating in the Winedale program pay tuition and fees for six credit hours of upper-division English, as well as a $1,2(X) fee for a trip to England. Loehlin said the costs are very reasonable. "The total amount is under $2,500 total for the sum­ mer," he said. "The actual cost is much higher than that, and that's the money we have to raise each year for our operating budget to pay for the student meals and accom­ modations here and in England and other costs. It's prob­ ably closer to $6,000 per student in terms of total costs." Loehlin said the program gets most of its money from annual ticket sales and private donors who help to under­ write the costs of students. He also said the program's financial stability for the last 30 years has rested heavily on the shoulders of James Ayres, an English professor who began the Shakespeare at Winedale Program in 1970. "Jim Ayres went out and really beat the bushes and got money from different small foundations and individual donors," Loehlin said. Since the late '90s, the program has been expanding to include summer camps for younger children, trips to England and fire-safety improvements to the bam/ theater and other facilities at the Winedale ranch. Loehlin said orga­ nizers are continually seeking new sources of funding. The program costs approximately $200,000 a year. "This is really a great bargain for the University," Loehlin said. "That's like one piece of lab equipment. It doesn't cost very much, and it gives a public face to the University." Students participating in this year's program said it changed their lives and offers a unique learning experi­ ence. "I think it's immeasurable," said Casey Caldwell, a philosophy senior. "I think it's the quintessence of educa­ tion ... the University should give this program as much money as it can." This summer's Shakespeare at Winedale season runs from July 15 to Aug. 8, with performances Thursday through Sunday. For more information, visit http://nnvw. shakespeare-witiedale.org.

"W e recommend that women start thinking about this proce­ dure in their 20s and have their eggs frozen by age 35," said Nels. Nels said that eggs can be safely frozen for years, since time stops for the eggs once they are frozen. "W e believe that 10-to-15 years is a safe assumption," she said. Another fertility option for w omen up to or past the age of 40 is donor eggs, Hansard said. Hansard said that there is min­ imal risk associated with freezing eggs, but only related to medica­ tion. "There may be some cramping, but the surgery is done under IV sedation, so the woman isn't aware of the procedure as it's happening," she said. "There is no greater risk with this proce­ dure than having your wisdom teeth removed." Nels said mat the new center in Texas w ill monitor the patients to see how they respond to the hormone drugs and the surgery. "W e don't believe the risks out­ weigh the benefits," she said. Drake said she is excited about having her eggs frozen. "It's a pretty emotional experi­ ence, but it's worth it," she said.

"And, like the days of the old 36th, the mission we undertake is just, our enemy is on the run and our soldiers are getting the job done." Earlier this month, approxi­ mately 3,000 division members received mobilization orders for Operation Iraqi Freedom. They vv'ill arrive in mid-August to Fort Hood for more training before departing to Iraq. Brownlee spoke about the changing role of the National Guard both at home and abroad. "The Arm y now faces new challenges," Brownlee said. "W e are transforming the army to bet­ ter serve in the 21st century."

But some Bolivians remained wary of the vote and pledges that the exploitation of natural gas will raise incomes in a nation where two-thirds of the population live in poverty. The gas reserves have split the nation, with Indians in the west­ ern Andean plains pitted against the business elite in the eastern and southern lowlands, where the gas reserves are located. “Whether people vote yes or no, this vote will win,” President Carlos Mesa, formerly the vice president, said. "We are creating peace today.” Elusive leaders accused of war crimes still on the nin BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro — Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and his military commander, Gen. Ratko Mladic, have been on the run since the Bosnian war ended in 1995 — frustrating and almost mocking those who want them captured and tried. The two, who top the U.N. tribunal’s wanted list, stand accused of numerous war crimes, including genocide in the 1995 slaughter of up to 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys in the U.N.-protected enclave of Srebrenica, the worst massacre of civilians in Europe since World War II. Top Serbia-Montenegro officials and Western diplomats believe that Karadzic and Mladic are rely­ ing on disguises, multiple hiding places and a shadowy network of supporters to tip them off when­ ever NATO-led patrols get close. Serbia is under relentless Western pressure to arrest some 15 other war crimes fugitives believed hiding there. Compiled from Associated Press reports NATION BRIEFS McLaughlin disaproves idea of new intelligence chief WASHINGTON — John McLaughlin, the CIA's acting director, said Sunday that a new national intelligence chief, as the Sept. 11 commission is expected to recommend this week, is unnecessary and that intelligence agencies have made changes since the 2001 attacks to better protect the country. The CIA director now has loose authority over those agencies. But the commission in a prelimi­ nary report found that the direc­ tor did not hold enough power, because the Pentagon controls more than 80 percent of the nation’s intelligence budget. As a result, CIA requests to other agencies are often ignored. “With some modest changes to how the CIA is set up, the direc­ tor of Central Intelligence could carry out that function well and appropriately,” McLaughlin said.

But the Palestinian leader defied interna­ tional peacemakers by declining to put the security forces under the control of the Cabinet, and by naming his cousin and long­ time lieutenant, Moussa Arafat, as security chief. The appointment deepened the rift between Arafat's generation, which led the Palestinian strug­ gle from exile for decades, and young Palestinians w ho lived under Israeli occupation and now accuse the old guard of corrup­ tion and monopolizing powrer. Dissent, however, went beyond the generational divide and spread to the security forces. N avy chief Gomma Ghali, an Arafat loyal­ ist, handed in his resignation to protest Moussa Arafat's appoint­ ment, joining the head of intel­ ligence and the head of the pre­ ventative security, who resigned Friday. However, Arafat has not accepted the resignations. By Lara Sukhtian Associated Press RA M A LLA H , West Bank — Militants sacked and burned Palestinian governm ent offices Sunday, the latest sign of growing anger over Yasser A rafat’s deci­ sion to reach into his old guard and choose a loyalist relative as his new security chief. A confrontation was brewing between Arafat — reluctant to yield significant power — and Palestinian militants, including sorbe of Arafat's own officers. They are demand i ng deep reforms and new faces, Palestinian ana­ lysts said. The divide between the two sides centered on the appointment of Moussa Arafat, Arafat's cousin, as the new head of Palestinian security. M any Palestinians rejected him as a symbol of cor­ ruption and cronyism, propelling long-held dissatisfaction into the open. Dozens of masked gunmen marched through the Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza after sundown Sunday, chanting, "N o to Moussa Arafat, yes to reform." The turmoil cam e as Israeli Prime M inister Ariel Sharon planned to withdraw from Gaza next year, intensifying a struggle for power and influence among the various Palestinian factions. Sharon said the trouble rein­ forced his contention that Israel cannot negotiate with the present Palestinian leadership. Defense M inister Shaul M ofaz called Arafat's reforms "an illusion" and said the Palestinian leader had retained his grip on power. "Thev are playing musical chairs," he told Israel Radio. The unrest began after Arafat decreed a consolidation of about a dozen disparate security branches into three services — a Enron e-mails show political contributions at work By Suzanne Gamboa Associated Press W ASHINGTON — In only a few e-mails, Enron em ployees laid bare the reality of politics: the money trail from companies seeking favors from lawmakers with the power to grant them. The e-mails circulated among in 2000 and Enron officials 2001, before the collapse of the Houston energy com pany and are under review by the House ethics committee, which is con­ sidering whether to investigate the fund-raising activities of the No. 2 leader in the House, Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas. in Enron officials map out the e-mail how to get the most for their financial contributions, for w hile politicians com pete credit in securing large campaign donations from the company. Attention has refocused on the e-mails since a Texas Democrat last filed an ethics com plaint month against DeLay. Rep. Chris Bell accused the majority leader of soliciting and accepting politi­ cal contributions from a Kansas energy company, Westar Energy Inc., legislative favors. DeLay contends Bell filed the complaint because Bell is bit­ ter over losing his primary race in March. in return for What DeLay and other poli­ ticians cannot deny is that the Enron e-mails illustrate the nature of political fund raising. "The e-mails are an indication of what goes on behind closed doors," said Tom Fitton, presi­ dent of Judicial Watch, an ethics watchdog group that has filed suits over political fund-raising. In an e-mail from May 31, 2001, lobbyists Rick Shapiro Enron and Linda Robertson discuss a $50,000 contribution solicited by Republican organizations for a dinner saluting President Bush and Vice President Dick Chenev. the "W ith assistan ce of Congressm an Tom DeLay, we were able to apply our previously contributed soft money toward this dinner. Consequently, we will be credited as giving $250,000 to this event, even though we are being asked to give only $50,000 in new soft monev," according to the e-mail sent to Enron's now ex-chairman, Kenneth Lay, and a second executive. show The e-m ails "pretty clearly, corporations were being asked for contributions by mem­ bers of Congress who held the fate of legislation important to corporations their hands," in said Trevor Potter, president and general counsel of the Campaign Legal Center, a campaign finance monitoring group. Just as Enron wanted credit for its contribution, Republican lawmakers vied for credit in rais­ ing the money, e-m ails show. Bringing in lots of political money helps raise a politician's stature in the party, said Edwin Bender, executive director of the Institute on Money in State Politics, based in Helena, Mont. The Enron lobbyists said in the e-mail they wrould split credit for $100,000 of the contribution am ong DeLay; form er House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R- Texas; Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, is now chairm an of the who House Energy and Com m erce Committee; and Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-La. The lobbyists said Sen. Kav Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, "has requested that Enron give her some of the credit" for the other $100,000 in the contribution. "There's always a risk this will creep back into the system, and politicians will again try to raise it. These e-mails point out the dangers of that to an ethical form of governm ent," said Potter, a former member of the Federal Elections Com m ission, which regulates political fund raising and spending.

The draft has been edited for grammar and length. We have an agenda item con­ cerning our potential bid to m an­ age and operate the Los Alamos National Laboratory. In terms of process, we have nothing more to report than that we have reg­ istered our interest in a bid with the D epartm ent of Energy. As the board knows, this expression o f interest does not represent a decision to actually subm it a bid; it is simply a part of the for­ mal process designed to give the DOE a better idea of potential contractors available to them as they draft their request for pro­ posals. There have been press reports that three other poten­ tial bidders registered interest: the U niversity of C alifornia, Lockheed M artin Corporation and Battelle M emorial Institute. It is likely, however, that many other potential bidders have expressed interest in participat­ ing to a greater or lesser degree. Today, we will hear from sev­ eral people who have, over time, asked to address the board about our potential bid. Their requests cam e at m eetings w here Los Alamos was not on the agen­ da. Since this item appeared on today's agenda, they have been given tim e to speak. I w ant to say up front that we at the System respect all view s on this im por­ tant subject and w e are glad that the board has given time on the agenda to hear them. Additionally, for my own part, I want to em phasize that we are sensitive to the concerns of those who oppose any association with nuclear w eapons because o f deeply held religious or moral principles. Even the great Einstein, who originally encour­ aged the developm ent of what w as then called an atomic bomb, lived to regret and disavow his earlier advice. But, as he found out, recalling a new reality is far more difficult than birthing one. I bring this up because until now, our discussions about Los A lam os have been prim arily about the process and potential benefits for The University of Texas System. We all understand the nature of the work done at Los Alamos, but we have not discussed it in any depth, nor have we discussed the potential benefit to the nation that would result if we took on a leading role at Los Alam os — or, for that matter, at any national labora­ tory. There is no question that, his­ torically, a substantial part of the research done at Los Alamos involved the scientific technol­ ogy used in developing, m anu­ facturing and sustaining nuclear weaponry. With the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, the United States halted all produc­ tion of new nuclear w arheads and declared a m oratorium on nuclear testing to support new w eapons developm ent. Under various agreements and proto­ cols, the United States has sig­ nificantly reduced the Cold War nuclear arsenal. Recent decisions by President Bush will further reduce the arsenal over the com ­ ing decade. Los Alam os is not, as som e suggest, a "bom b factory." Los Alamos has been charged with the responsibility of m ain­ taining production technology for the United States for a few key nuclear com ponents to pro­ vide a hedge should new w eap­ ons production be required in the future. If such production were required, the DOE would construct dedicated production facilities at one of its production sites at that time. Scientific involving inquiry the nuclear threat now revolves around maintaining the integrity and safety of our existing stock­ pile, devising secure m eans of destroying nuclear w eapons and disposing of nuclear materials, and, an aspect that is frequent­ ly overlooked but profoundly that our im portant, ensuring know ledge of nuclear technol­ ogy is the most advanced in the w orld. W ithout Los A lam os, the United States would lose its world leadership in understand­ ing nuclear technology. In an era when proliferation presents the greatest nuclear danger, our ability to evaluate the nuclear research o f other nations and adversaries is cen­ tral to the success of our defense and national security efforts ... If we got rid of every American nuclear weapon tomorrow, we would still need to understand the technology to protect our­ selves. And we would still need to spend our tax dollars to con­ duct the kind of research done at Los Alamos. That having been said, we need to remember that defense concerns are only part o f the charge given to Los Alam os. The labs in New Mexico are a m ajor research complex that supports more than 50 cross-disciplinary facilities and includes work on projects involving energy, the environm ent and health ... But it is w orthw hile to re­ that, w h ile Los em p h asize Alam os has drawn our im m e­ diate attention, it is the larger fram ew ork of national laborato­ ries and their future that draws our prim ary interest. The system of laboratories is a resource w ith­ out peer internationally and, here at home, it is a treasured incubator of discovery — a series of facilities dedicated to pure Nuked in passing. Blue skies, No. 1 The Board of Regents, that stuffy court of political donors that governs UT campuses from afar like a colonizing power, once tried to meet in Mexico. That is, until U.S. Sen. John Com yn, R-Texas, then the Texas attorney general, ruled that convening across the border would violate state open meetings laws. The attempt was consistent with a disregard for student opinion — particularly dissenting student opinion — that sometimes charac­ terized the board under then-Chairman Charles Miller. M iller's board voted for a monstrous fee increase in 2002 against the v\ ishes of 2,400 students who signed a petition and several who spoke to the board in San Antonio. (The fee increase later was ruled illegal and replaced by a tuition increase.) Similarly, the chairman made it clear he wouldn't support Student Governm ent efforts to place a student on the board. So when the UT System lusted after Los Alamos, it was no shock th.it System officials (including Miller, of course) didn't meet pub­ licly with students to hear their side. UT Watch member Austin Van Zant told a Texan reporter Miller wouldn't let him speak on the issue at a previous meeting. In fact, the anti-nuclear set rallied at System headquarters in April — outside — while the regents met. it's hard to say the new chairman, James Huffines, brought sun­ shine to M iller's dark sky. His homework should include trying harder not to look like Gov. Rick Perry's crony. But when Huffines let Van Zant and three other Los Alamos opponents address the board on Friday, the board seemed closer than usual to performing its ostensible service: doing w hat's best for students. Blues skies, No. 2 In a departure from his former cost-benefit line, Chancellor Mark Yudof acknowledged at the meeting (while citing Albert Einstein and Arthur C. Clarke) that a moral argument against operating Los Alam os does, in fact, exist. Because his argument should be made to students more than to anyone else, we have reprinted his statement here. Unfortunately, Yudof never places his argument in context. He says running a nuke lab is morally justified. Great. But why is it justified at a public university? System ignores Los Alamos opposition Editor's note: Pruett is a member o f UT Watch and an intern for Rep. Lon Burnham, D-Fort Worth, both o f whom oppose a bid for Los Alamos. B y John Pru ett Daily Texan Colum nist Despite criticisms from the religious com m unity, Texas peace organizations, UT stu­ dents and facultv, and several state legislators, the Board of Regents has been noticeably quiet on a possible bid for Los Alamos up until this point. However, it is relatively easy to determine where the regents stand after taking a look at the System 's recent informational letter delivered to state legisla­ tors. The letter amounts to a pub­ lic relations piece in support of m anaging the lab and is, for the most part, unchanged from a let­ ter sent to Student Government m em bers in the spring. SG later indefinitely tabled a resolution calling for a university forum on Los Alamos. The board has not made an official decision to bid for Los Alamos, and the UT Los Alamos Task Force is supposedly study­ ing the pros and cons. Yet the true stance of the board mem­ bers seemed to be reaffirmed when UT System Chancellor the M ark Yudof topic Friday. While touting the introduced lab's benefits to science and technology, Yudof played down the nuclear w eapons issue, even going so far as to say, “Los Alamos is not a bomb factory." In all, four opponents of a Los Alamos bid were allowed to speak at the meeting. One UT student and SG representative, Lauren Karchmer, was denied on the grounds that she could not speak unless she had written support from the SG president or vice-president. However, no such stipulation exists in System policy, and another student, Austin Van Zant of UT Watch, received perm ission without fulfilling such a requirement. The regents raised the issue of Los Alamos management and, as a result, the burden of proof rests with them. They should take heed of legitimate criticisms and weigh the issue fairly if they are to truly represent the University. So far, they have systematical­ ly ignored or spum ed public input while over-emphasizing the advantages Los Alamos will bring. Friday's meeting was no exception. Addressing such behavior, Rep. Lon Bumam, D- Fort Worth, posed the question, “Has a decision already been m ade?" If the regents have spo­ ken honestly, then the answer should be “No." Pruett is a history senior. THE GALLERY THE FIRING LINE Let dead Klansmen lie, I I am not an African-American, so it seems inappropriate for me to comment on how black students might feel about certain statues and buildings on campus that glo­ rify Southern Civil War and segre­ gation leaders ("Campus symbols recall segregation, KKK," July 16). I am, however, a human being with a conscience, and it is clear to me that the time for lionizing the lives of KKK founders and teachers who were "firmly anti­ black" has passed. I really don't understand why people think it is acceptable to look back on the biggest stain on American history with fondness and nostalgia. In the South, the Civil War, Reconstruction and the ensuing era were marred with hate. And that generation's leading spokes­ men certainly need not be recog­ nized as heroes, but rather as cow­ ards, afraid of change and freedom for an oppressed people. It is truly poetic justice that any student of any color can walk into Jester or RLM or pass by the Littlefield Fountain and look with disdain and disapproval at the buildings and statues that glorify these men. Irony and symbolism have their place, and it is somewhat satisfy­ ing to watch planes launched from the Barbara Jordan terminal soar over this campus, rising above the memories of dead men who felt that Civil Rights were "crush­ ing the pride of the South by the elevation of the negro to political control." Ben Silvermintz Music studies junior Fine Arts representative, SG Let dead Klansmen lie, II The article on the campus sym­ bols around our great University is definitely a point of contention ("Campus symbols recall segre­ gation, KKK," July 16). Race is such a divisive issue these days, especially around the University, where using race as a factor in admissions and the distribution of racist fliers were two prevalent issues last year. However, the author of this article was quite correct. As much as I may feel threatened by the University's racist background, the right thing is to look upon these statues as a dark past which we strive to brighten and make better every day. We are not the only establishment plagued with a history we are not wholly proud of, but that does not mean we should scour the South, knocking down all reminders. Removing these statues would be submitting to the very thing which those leaders may have at one point tried to instill in minori­ ties — fear. I sincerely trust that the University is well beyond these past beliefs and will continue to provide every student with what he or she earns while attending this great Southern university. Adelina Bryant Government sophomore Let dead Klansmen lie, III I just have to say that I complete­ ly agree with JJ Hermes' article ("Campus symbols recall segrega­ tion, K K K ," July 16) and that I am absolutely outraged that the name William Simkins is even mentioned on our campus. So he donated money in the past. So what? Does that mean that this beautiful, tol­ erant and modem University is doomed to have to reclaim to some of its racist past? This is not to say that the names of confederate lead­ ers should be completely forgotten. After all, those names are unfor­ tunately a big part of history. But who honestly even knows who Simkins is? In fact, now that some people know who he was, the dorm name will just be added to the list of names and statues UT has to remove (if it's not there already). Simkins did not have any real impact on U.S. history as a whole, so why should we even talk about him or remember him if he is a regrettable memory we can afford to lose? It is people like him who stood in the way of minorities try­ ing to get into college. And the administration wonders why some minority applicants are afraid to apply for admission. Tim Canelo Undeclared sophomore Preach it, Brother Boyko Karen Inglis ("The Texan's anti- anti-gay agenda," Firing Line, July 16) wrote, "Everyone who opposes gay marriage is intoler­ ant, hypocritical or uneducated. Is that the lesson The Daily Texan is teaching this week?" I don't know about the Texan, but the view that "Everyone who opposes gay marriage is intoler­ ant, hypocritical or uneducated" suits me just fine. All arguments against gay mar­ riage boil down to one of three types: illogical, absurd or reli­ gious. As for the last, all I can say is that faith is not a virtue when the dogma in question asks you to hate, asks you to discriminate, asks you to be intolerant and asks you to abandon your conscience for a (wrongly interpreted!) Bible verse. If all biblical codes were as "enforced" as the "m en should not be having it on with other m en" edict, we'd have stortings for working on the Sabbath. Any law that is selectively enforced is an intolerable one. Therefore, so far as we can say that anti-gay proponents are tol­ erant of people w ho work on the Sabbath, we can say that anti-gay proponents are intolerant of gay people. Therefore, since only certain Bible passages are cherry-picked to suit a particular view, and others ignored, we can say that those who oppose gay marriage because of their faith are hypo­ critical with regard to the Bible. Therefore, since most people who oppose gay marriage were never taught to question the teachings of the intolerant and hypocritical church leaders, we can then say that anti-gay propo­ nents are uneducated. And that's my anti-anti-anti- anti-gay agenda. Brian Boyko Journalism graduate student ON THE WEB A column by Aaron Gibson was posted on our Web site today.

But judging by his devastating form, this w eek's peaks may be nothing more than speed bumps as the five-time champion closes in on a record sixth straight crown in Paris next week. After two torrid days in the Pyrenees, where the 32-year-old Texan demolished rivals and killed doubts that he is way past his prime, he and other top riders caught their breath Sunday, letting Aitor Gonzalez of Spain take vic­ tory in the flat 14th stage. Monday is a rest day — a last chance to regroup, treat injuries, and prepare physically and men­ tally for three days in the Alps. They include what promises to be an epic time tnal race Wednesday to the L'Alpe d'Huez ski station, where Armstrong won in 2001. Mindful of the pain that awaits, he and other podium contenders did not give chase when Gonzalez and nine other riders — all so low in the overall standings that they present no threat — surged ahead on the 119.6-mile swing through southern France from the medi­ eval fortified city of Carcassonne. The stage win was Gonzalez's first in three Tours, and the first by a Spanish rider this year. The main pack was way back, pedaling at a relatively leisurely pace, when he crossed the line in Nimes. Armstrong could take the overall lead as early as Tuesday, on the first 112-mile Alpine stage from Valreas to Villard-de-Lans. Its seven climbs include a 7.5-mile-long ascent of the Col de l'Echarasson. Average gradient: a punishing 7.4 percent. In two days of climbing in the Pyrenees, Armstrong cut Thomas Voeckler's overall lead from more than 9 minutes to just 22 seconds. While resilient, the 25-vear-old French champion should be easy prey for Armstrong in the Alps. Armstrong, who was 39th, and Voeckler, 40th, finished in the same time — 14:12 behind Gonzalez — so Voeckler got to keep his overall leader's yellow jersey for at least another dav. Italian Ivan Basso, who was 31st, is 1:17 behind Armstrong — mak­ ing him the last possible threat. He was the only rider able to stay with Armstrong in the Pyrenees and could be a force in the race against the clock to L'Alpe d'Huez. But Armstrong should be able to kill his challenge in a second, rela­ tively flat time trial in Besancon in eastern France on Saturday. Basso has w'orked in a wind-tunnel to try to improve his time trial riding, but should not threaten an expert such as Armstrong. 'To cast any dóubts on his abil­ ity would be shameful," said Brian Nvgaard, a spokesman for Basso's CSC team, referring to Armstrong. "You see what a class rider he is, how persistent he is, how well he uses his team." At this point, only a crash, an uncharacteristic and precipitous collapse or a miracle ride bv anoth­ er cyclist wrould seem to stand in the way of victory No. 6. "Armstrong and his team are very strong," said Spanish rider Francisco Mancebo, fifth overall, 3:06 behind the Texan. "Perhaps things w'ill change in the Alps. VVe'll know as soon as Tuesdav. But for the moment, it's hard to beat him." Jan Ullnch, the 1997 Tour winner, declared defeat after two disap­ pointing days in the Pyrenees. The German is 6:39 behind Armstrong overall.

From burnt-orange to red, white and blue changed anything." But Richards was not the only former UT sprinter at the trials. Raasin McIntosh and Nichole Denby ran in the 100-meter hur­ dle Sunday evening. Denby reached the finals along­ side Gail Devers and the final field of eight. Though she finished seventh with a 13.00s performance, get­ ting to the final heat was a feat of its own according to Denby. "The prelim rounds are more nerve wrecking than the final because you have to first make it to the finals for a chance to even make the team." Denby said before the race. "You can't win from the semifinals, so it's nerve wrecking getting through the rounds to the final. Once you get (to the finals) though, you are more relaxed and you can just let it all out. "But, you have to get there first and anything can happen." McIntosh finished 11th in the 100-meter hurdle semifinals heat and failed to qualify. After plac­ ing fifth in the 400-meter hurdle finals on July 11, McIntosh hoped to qualify in her secondary' event. "If I had it all over again, I probably would try to have done better, because I was so close to making the team," McIntosh said after her 400-meter hurdle finish. "But, anything can happen. It was a really fast race. I think even one of the fastest in U.S. historv. So, you never know. I still may be in Athens." Eric Risberg Associated Press Several current UT athletes also participated in the U.S. Olympic Trials, with sophomore Andra Manson placing eighth in the high jump on Sunday evening. Sophomores Jerrika Chappie and Marshevet Hooker reached the second rounds in their events. Hooker placed 12th in the 100- meter semifinals, running an 11.38. Chappie ran along with Richards in the 400-meter quar­ terfinals with the sophomore placing 14th behind a 52.16 race. "I thought before the meet began it would be intimidating to face athletes with such strong cre­ dentials, and I was a little [intimi­ dated] at first," Hooker said fol­ lowing her run. "But, we were all going after the same goal, and once I realized that I tried to treat the competition just like any other meet. It was great sharing the track with the likes of Marion Jones and Gail Devers." Sophomore Michelle Carter has also been involved in interna­ tional competition this summer, winning the gold at the World Junior Track Championships in Grosseto, Italy. On Saturday Carter threw' a personal best 57 foot-7 inch toss to become the first U.S. w oman to win the title in the shot put. "When I saw- [Russia's Anna Avdeveva] last throw, it gave me the extra energy' on my last attempt," Carter said after the meet. "I wras really focused on my technique, especially my release on the last throw."

Phillip I Associated Press Richards to Athens, M an son , M cIn tosh and Denby Ja il short By Eric Ransom Daily Texan Staff Former Longhorn sprinter Sanya Richards earned her ticket to Athens on Saturday, with a sec­ ond place finish in the 400-meter finals at the US Olympic Trials in Sacramento. Richards posted a personal-best 49.89 to become the 11th U.S. athlete ever to break the 50-second barrier in the event. Monique Hennagan won the event with a 49.56, followed by Richards and NCAA champion Dee Dee Trotter of Tennessee. Former Longhorn sprinters and Moushamui Suzainne Reid placed sixth and seventh, respectively. Robinson Richard's finish marks the first race of her professional career and a rebound from her upset loss in the NCAA championships, where she placed third to Trotter and UCLA's Monique Henderson. "I always get out really hard, and my goal today was to get out as hard as I could, break the first two staggers and then relax on the back-stretch," Richards said. "I think I did that well. I wanted to move at the 150-meter mark, but Monique was gone, and I could see her in front of me, and I kind of moved a little earlv trying to make sure she didn't get too far in front of me. I think I ran the race well, and I am excited w ith the time. I wouldn't have Arkansas hurler shuts down Express, Moore tossed By Kyu-Heong Kim Daily Texan Staff ROUND ROCK — The score­ board at the Dell Diamond on Sunday looked like lines of binary code, filled with ones and zeroes, as the Arkansas and Round Rock pitching staffs battled deep into the night. While Express starter Randy Rodriguez lasted longer than his counterpart Corey Lee, it was Lee's squad that picked up a 2-1 victory and snapped a seven-game losing streak. "I did a pretty good job of keep­ ing the ball down and any time you hit your spots and move the ball around, you make it tough on the hitters," Lee said. On paper, the Rodriguez/Lee match-up looked lopsided, with Rodriguez coming in with 76 strikeouts, seventh in the Texas league, and a 9-3 record. Lee, meanwhile, had given up nine runs in his last nine innings and was yet to record a win next to three losses. That was all before Lee's 5.1 innings of one-run ball dominat­ ed Express batters. In all, Lee gave up just three hits and faced the minimum 12 batters in his first four innings, showing flashes of brilliance that once earned him a spot on a major league roster. Since appearing in just one game as a Ranger in 1999 - where he lasted only one inning and amassed a 27.00 ERA — Lee has drifted through the minor leagues, hoping to get another opportunity. Coming off shaky from sur­ gery last year, it looked the North Carolina native was at the end of his road. More outings like tonight might have him pitching in the big-leagues once again. “W e’re striking out too much. W e’re just not putting the ball in play. We’re in a team slum p.” Jackie Moore, Round Rock manager On the mound for Round Rock, Rodriguez pitched well, lasting eight innings and giving up just two runs. The first came in the opening frame when Rodriguez gave up three base hits in a row, including an RBI single to desig­ nated hitter Derrick Gibson. The Express (57-38) were able to get out of the jam before any more damage could be done, but the single run would prove huge with Lee dominant on the mound. Lee's streak of consecutive outs could have come to an end in the fourth when Mike Rodriguez tried to leg out an infield single, but was called out at a questionable play at first. Round Rock man­ ager Jackie Moore tried to defend his designated hitter to first base umpire Chris Griffith, but was thrown out for his efforts. "I'm not going to sit around and watch my club get screwed," Moore said. "If [the umpinng] doesn't change, I'll be [ejected] tomorrow too." Arkansas (41-53) extended its slim lead in the fifth inning with the speedy legs of third baseman Javy Rodriguez. The leadoff bat­ ter was able to get on base with a single and advanced himself to third on two consecutive stolen bases. One batter later, shortstop Alberto Callaspo drove Javy Rodriguez in with a sacrifice fly and extended the Arkansas lead to 2-0. The Express had opportunities to tie the game in the seventh inning with the bases loaded and just one out. But a strikeout and a routine grounder ended the threat. "We're striking out too much. We re just not putting the ball in play. We're not getting the big hit," Moore said. "We're in a team slump." With the loss, the Express drops to 12-13 in the second half, four games behind San Antonio. I la milton outduels Els to win British Open For the second straight year, the British Open turned into a Cinderella story. Last year, Ben Curtis won in his first major. This year, American Todd Hamilton wore the glass slip­ per. Hamilton sunk four pars in a playoff against South African Ernie Els, including an easy two- footer for the win. For the Open, Hamilton shot a 10-under 274. NASCAR Earnhardt Jr. injured in crash, car set ablaze A fun weekend of racing for Dale Earnhardt Jr. turned frightening Sunday when a wreck during a warmup for an American Le Mans Series race in Sonoma, Calif., turned his car into a fireball, leav­ ing him hospitalized with burns on his face and legs. The son of late racing great Dale Earnhardt will be kept overnight for observation and examined again on Monday. MLB ( Clemens, Astros give Garner first win 5-2 Making his first start since sur­ rendering six runs in one inning at Houston's All-Star game, Roger Clem ens returned to the mound Sunday and returned his Astros to the win column. The win halted a four-game los­ ing skid and gave new interim- manager Phil Garner his first win with the Astros. Houston trails NL Central leader St. Louis by 12 games. MLB Agent says Johnson will stay in Arizona Arizona ace Randy Johnson, subject of many recent trade rumors involving Anaheim, Boston and the New York Yankees, will stay in Arizona, according to his agent Barry Meister. Johnson won the World Series with the Diamondbacks in 2 001 and threw a perfect game earlier this season. Arizona’s implosion this year has spurred rumors about the aging superstar, which hit a crescendo last week during the All-Star break.

Because every item of clothing exudes a unique look — a swoop­ ing neckline, detailed embroi­ dery, great stitching or even just a funky decorative piece — the shopper may find it easy to make a dramatic yet stylish appearance when sporting the goods. There is a wide array of different styles, colors and fabric choices, making it a versatile shopping option for most all occasions. Finding outfit options to wear on a variety of occasions — a great date, a girls' night on the town, class or work — is usually a high priority for students at the University. On this trip it took only about 10 minutes to find a satisfying solution for all four looks. Manju's offers tailored, crisp pants and beautiful blouses that are more than appropriate for wear at work. There are rows of clothing like chiffon tops, sexy halters, gorgeous dresses and an amazing quantity of cute skirts suitable to flaunt while hitting the town with friends or on a date. Finally, the store's collection of fashionably detailed jeans and T- shirts allow for a more relaxed, casual look and feel that might be desired when attending class. Regardless of the shopper's pref­ erence, this trendy store is a great component of the Austin fash­ ion scene, which is unfortunately way behind those of Houston and Dallas. A sale rack directly outside the store draws customers inside to witness the outrageous number of sales that Manju's frequently features. Lauren Cantwell, an occasional shopper at Manju's, said that "the sales are good, but otherwise it's pneey." Although pnces are originally about what would be expected for an establishment with a hot spot on the Drag, price drops allow the clothing expense to be far more affordable for women on a budget. Bags, scarves and belts are among the accessories featured in the store, but there is a limited selection. It's disappointing that no shoes are available to help complete a targeted look. The store's biggest problem isn't its dearth of accessories, however. While the clothes pro­ vide great cultural flexibility, the store's full name, Manju's India Imports, is not representative of the available clothing. In fact, peeking at the tags on 10 random items featured in Manju's confirmed that not one piece is even manufactured in India but rather right here in the United States. Surely this will dis­ appoint a customer in search of authentic Indian clothing. Nevertheless, Manju's India Imports is a great place to kill time between classes, and maybe find a great deal while doing it. Rachel Martinez, who fre­ quents Manju's whenever she has time on the Drag, declared that the store is "much like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21. You could make the drive to the mall and find the same styles of clothes." However, for women constant­ ly on the University of Texas cam­ pus, Manju's holds an advantage because of its prime location, and the fashion will usually look more unique because it is not mass pro­ duced in clothing chains. 2424 Guadalupe St. (512) 474-0637 Hours: Mor\.-Sat.: 11 a.m. - 7:30 pan.

Fortunately, Manju's, located on the Drag, offers a variety of pieces, typically attracting cus­ tomers with a feminine yet edgy style. The clothing looks astonish­ ingly high-fashion and immedi­ ately catches the eye. Although Manju's does not feature items from well-known labels, no pieces appeared tacky or poorly '■p Return of 51 L r " S' S3oa$ S' °oocom S ' Tickets1 7 00 S L A U G H T E R H O T E L C R IP P LED KU NG FU B O X E R 945 !

Smith's sci-fi thriller "I, Robot" was his latest No. 1 July debut, opening with $52.25 million and bumping "Spider-Man 2" from the top spot at the weekend box office, according to studio esti­ mates Sunday. If the numbers hold when final figures are released Monday, "I, Robot" tyould be Smith's best debut ever, coming in just ahead of "Independence Day," "Men in Black" and "Men in Black II," all July premieres that opened in the $50 million to $52 million range. "My God, this guy opens mov­ ies," said Bruce Snyder, head of distribution at 20th Century Fox, which released "I, Robot." "He's just so likable, he takes something like science fiction, which can be a little cold, and he makes it warm and entertaining." After two weekends in first place, "Spider-Man 2" slipped to No. 2 with $24.2 million, lifting its total domestic haul to $301.7 million after just 19 days. The movie crossed the $300 million mark three days faster than the original "Spider-Man," according to distributor Sony. The weekend's other new wide release, Hilary Duff's romance "A Cinderella Story," premiered in third place with $13.8 million. Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9 /11" held on at No. 5 with $7 million, raising its domestic total to $93.8 million.

"I, Robot," inspired by the short-story collection of Isaac Asimov, stars Smith as a police detective in 2035 who suspects a robot has committed a murder. Along with the "Men in Black" movies and "Independence Day," "I, Robot" joins "Wild Wild West" and last year's "Bad Boys II" in Smith's string of summer smash­ es. "H e's Mr. July," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box- office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "He's the perfect summer action star. He's a guy who seems like somebody fun to hang out with, but you know the guy can kick some butt when he has to." "A Cinderella Story" stars Duff as a saintly California teen slav­ ing away for her odious step­ mother and stepsisters in a mod­ em update of the fairy tale. In narrow release, Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger's "The Door in the Floor" had a healthy debut, taking in $444,983 in 47 theaters. The family drama was adapted Irving's novel "A from John Widow for One Year." "Maria Full of Grace," which won the award as audience favor­ ite at last January's Sundance Film Festival, also opened strongly in limited release, taking in $124,000 at seven theaters. The drama centers on a young Colombian woman who signs on as a "mule" carrying heroin to the United States. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at North American theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures will be released Monday. 8 Monday, July 19, 2004 Bridging conflict with cinema in the West Bank Oded Balilty I Associated Press B y M a t t i H u u h ta q e n Associated Press RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinians and Israelis held simultaneous film festivals this week in Ramallah and Jerusalem — neighboring cities separated by a contentious barrier and nearly four years of fighting. Liana Saleh, a 17-year-old Palestinian showing her first film, says she is tired of the regional conflict and the nega­ tive images being projected about Palestinians. "We aren't just recipients of for­ eign aid or victims in a struggle," she said before the screening of "A Boy and a Color Box." "Children here have dreams and hopes, like anywhere else." Some 500 cinema buffs at the international West Bank's first film festival gave a standing ova­ tion to the movie about young Palestinians who struggle to over­ come hardship to make dreams come true. Eighty movies, including 50 by foreign directors, were screened at the weeklong Ramallah International Film Festival. The event coincided with the 21st Jerusalem Film Festival, some 10 miles south of Ramallah. The 10-day Jerusalem festival, which ended Saturday, featured 200 films from 50 countries, was opened by Sarajevo-born director Emir Kusturica, who presented "Life is a Miracle," a wry look at the 1992-95 Bosnian civil war. Organizers of the two festivals emphasized they weren't trying to upstage each other. Israeh-Palestinian cultural cooperation, which flourished in the late 1990s after an interim peace agreement, has collapsed since the resurgence of conflict in September 2000. The Ramallah festival was postponed by a month because of a delay in the construction of its main venue, the three-story, gleaming cultural center that was inaugurated in early July. "No way are we trying to com­ pete with the Jerusalem festival. On the contrary, I think it's won­ derful that we can both be show­ ing movies at the same time," festival director Adam Zuabi told The Associated Press. More than 7,000 tickets were sold at the Ramallah festival that ended Wednesday. Mobile cinemas were set up in villages around Ramallah, which has only one movie house. Several visitors, including Humbert Balsan, chairman of the European Film Academy, attend­ ed both festivals. The Frenchman said he would like to see the two sides getting together. "We hope this is an opening, so that these borders disappear thanks to cinema," Balsan said. In Jerusalem, movies were shown at eight locations, including outdoor night screenings at a city amphitheater. More than 65,000 tickets were sold and almost all the shows were sold out. The Jerusalem festival was bom after movie aficionados, Lia van Leer and her late husband, Wim, founded film clubs in Israel in the 1950s. They toured major festivals in France, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Canada and the United States, before launch­ ing the Jerusalem festival in 1983. "Jerusalem is a melancholy city, a difficult city. This festival brings a ray of light and hope," said van Leer, a prominent Israeli cultural figure. About one-fourth of this year's $1.2 million budget came from the Israeli government and the city, with the remainder covered by private sponsors and ticket sales. The Ramallah festival ran on a shoestring budget of "a few thousand dollars," mostly pro­ vided by foreign governments and cultural organizations, said Zuabi, a Palestinian who works in Rome as an assistant to renowned Italian director, Ettore Scola. The only movie that had been slated for both festivals, "Thirst," an Israeli film in Arabic, was not shown at J^amallah because Palestinian director Tawfik Abu Wael protested that organizers "tad failed to provide wide-screen projection.
