The Department of Homeland Security submitted a proposal to the Federal Register on Oct. 27 that would implement a $100 fee for most international students applying for visas. The proposal is in a 60-day comment period that will continue until Dec. 26. Gillie Haynes, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, said after the comment period, the homeland security department will review all comments and decide whether to make the pro­ posal policy. "It's hard to speculate right now what will happen. We'll know more after the comment period is over," Haynes said. The fee is designed to cover costs of administering and main­ taining the Student and Exchange Visitor System. Information SEVIS tracks information about foreign students in the United States. Students would be1 required to pay the fee prior to applying for a visa. If the visa application is denied, the fee would not be refunded. The fee would be waived for those who apply tor the same status visa within nine months of the original applica­ tion. "When compared to what uni versifies charge students, it's a relatively small fee," Haynes said. The homeland security department, according to its Web site, estimates international stu­ dents pay an average of $ls,(XX) per year for tuition Students who have visas and are already in the I mted States would not pay the tee unless they apply tor a new nonimmigrant visa tor a different course ot study or they apply for reinstate rnent ot student status Currently, then* an* 4 711 inter­ national tin' students University.

Saudi Arabia — Police clashed with suspected al-Qaida sympathizers in the streets of the sacred city of Mecca on Monday, killing two militants and uncovering a cache of weapons, including Kalashnikov rifles, grenades and bomb-making materials. The raid was the latest in a string of anti-militant sweeps across Saudi Arabia, where the legitimacy of the regime rests in part on safeguarding Mecca — the site of Islam's holiest shrine, and where devout Muslims must make at least one pilgrimage.

The draft makes Afghanistan an Islamic republic but stops short of imposing the harsh brand of Islamic law favored by the Taliban, and for the first time enshrines a permanent role for women in governing the country. Still, turning the documentK guarantees of equality, liberty, dignity and tree speech into reali­ ty in a country lacking all of them will be a singular challenge tor President Ham id K.ir/ai and future Afghan leaders The draft, containing IbO arti­ cles in 12 chapters, is to be pre­ sented next month tor approval at a constitutional lova |irga, or grand council, of some 5HX1 dele­ gates from across the country. Nationwide elections would then be scheduled in June. The document was the result ot a y e a r ' s work - and months ot delay — reflecting deep divisions and fierce hu k-nx>m struggles inside the Tfvmember Constitutional Review Commission.

Waco Fire Marshal Jerry Hawk said that the fire early Friday caused an estimated $250,000 in damage to the building. He said fire damage was limited to the roof, though smoke and water damaged other parts of the 500,000-square-foot build­ ing. No one was hurt in the blaze. Baylor spokeswoman Lori Scott Fogleman said in a pre­ pared statement the fire may have been started by an electri cal source. She said the build­ ing is expected to open for classes next fall. Faculty members will move during the summer of 2004 to the science building, a crown jewel of the “Baylor 2012’ con­ struction program. Associated Press College grads are moving West, South after school WASHINGTON — Young, sin­ gle, college^ducated people flocked to Southern and Western cities during the late 1990s, helping to spur their rapid growth and booming economies, the Census Bureau reported Monday. Between 199!? and 2000, Naples, Fla.; Las Vegas; Charlotte, N.C.; Atlanta; and Portland, Ore., were the major cities that saw the greatest growth among single people 25 to 39 who had college diplomas, according to the bureau's first- ever report on the subject. Rankings were based only on people who moved into the metro area from another U.S. address. Robert Lang, demographer with the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech University, said such residents help spur the economy because they generally earn good salaries and spend more freely than older, married people. Single, college-educated resi­ dents also may be more likely to create jobs by opening their own businesses, Lang said. These are the people who go "where you have opportunity, but when they get there, they also create opportunity,” he said. AP Adulthood may be further away than once thought FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Being an adult may be one of the most desired intangibles of some college students' lives. However, according to a recent study sponsored by the National Opinion Research Center and the University of Chicago, the age at which a person is consid­ ered to be an adult is going up. While the marker for adulthood traditionally stood at 18 or 21 years of age, most Americans now believe people are not real ly adults until age 26. The study found that many people perceive the process of becoming and adult to include being employed full time, sup porting a family, being financially independent, living independent­ ly of one's parents, being mar­ ried and having a child. While some Colorado State University students agree that these are important stages in reaching adulthood, others say they feel they are adults, even though they have not reached some of these milestones in their own lives.

Research 1-888-908-833J By Anna Lara Daily Texan Staff John Blackwell walked into a room at the Texas Union with an uneasy look on his face and pre­ pared himself for an hour of slovv- motion kicks, ducking and other martial arts-style movements. Blackw ell, a radio-television- film junior, started taking lessons last week in Capoeira Angola, an African-Brazilian art form com­ bining fighting techniques and dance movements. "I'v e seen it before, and it looks really interesting, so 1 decided to come and try it," Blackwell said of the class. "It seems fun and like it would be a good work out." About eight to 16 students par­ ticipate in the classes, which are offered free of charge from noon to 1 p.m. in the Tower Room of the Texas Union every Monday and Wednesday. The Capoeira Angola Student Group and the Brazilian Center sponsors the classes. in 16th Brazilians used Capoeira Angola to camouflage their train­ ing to fight against slave-owners beginning century. Capoeira was a forbidden prac­ tice in Brazil until about the 1930s, so the participants would say they were dancing when con­ fronted by police, said civil engi­ graduate student neering Adriano Vieira. "It's fun, and it's good exer­ cise," said library and inform a­ tion science gradúate student Rachel Altobelli. "But it's more than just exercise. It's the music, the culture and the people, too. Rhythm ic Capoeira Angola music in Portugese is played dur­ ing the class. The lyrics discuss the act of fighting, the history of Atro-Brazilians or even everyday life, Vieira said. "It's a really beautiful art form ," said Austin Com m unity College sophom ore Katie Jo Dickson. "It's really fun, and you learn a lot about your body and muscles." Jon W hite teaches the classes, but on this day, Vieira, a two-and- a-half year student of W hite's, took his place. " I think several of the students are interested in the class because of the movement, the exercise and the culture," Vieira said. As the students keep going, we start to add more d ifficult m ove­ ments." The class, which works with students of all levels, was created in response to interest in capoeira following a show by several stu­ dents at a Brazilian festival in 2001, Vieira said. "It's very interesting because of the Brazilian cultural manifesta­ tion, and it's a good work out for balance and strength," Vieira said. "It's also free, so 1 would encour­ age people to try one or two class­ es and see if they like it or not." Blackwell enjoyed the session after sam pling several m ove­ ments in his first class. "I'd definitely want to come back," he said.

Through nonviolent protests, Patkar and her organization were able to draw' international atten­ tion to the Narm ada project. This caused the W orld Bank, a major investor, to re-examine the plans and w ithdraw financial backing, Ramanujam said. Although the dams continue to be built, they are built at a much Ind ia's slow er pace. Supreme Court voted two-to-one to continue the process. The court restricted the rate of build­ ing and required that those affected by the dam s receive rehabilitation and resettlement six months prior to dam con­ struction, Ramanujam said.

"They tell us about their hopes and fears." Research from around the country shows more people are bringing serious problem s to mental health centers, and the U n iversity is no exception, Drum said. The UT-Austin cen­ ter increasingly addresses sui­ cide crises, cases of relationship and sexual violence, and eating disorders. The center does not charge individual students because its entire budget is provided by the student services fee. The mental health consultation fee of $9.60 each student pays per semester covers most of the center's budget. Adm inistrative costs are funded by another part of the student services budget, Drum said. The mental health consulta­ tion fee is charged differently from the rest of the student serv­ ices fee because state law classi­ fies it as a medical fee. "The m ental health fee is charged by head count, not by credit hour," said Lynn Davis, an executive assistant in the Office Student of Affairs. This year fee amounts to about $1,094,400. consultation the The center has about 28 full­ time employees and 10 student workers in addition to volun­ teers. D eLinda Fox, a clinical social worker, has been an eating dis­ order specialist at the center since mid-October. Fox, who sees about six stu­ dents per day, said about 25 per­ cent of U T students probably have eating disorders ranging from anorexia and bulim ia to com pulsive overeating disorder. The mental health center and U niversity Health Services have all the resources needed to treat eating disorders, she said. But many mental health prob­ lems go untreated, Fox said, in part because of the embarrass­ ment caused by adm itting to suffering from them. Staff at the center take care to protect stu­ dents' confidentiality to make them feel comfortable. "People don't come here to make a public statement," Fox said, "They come here to get help." Tuesday, November 4, 2003 STATE & LOCAL BRIEFS Texas to receive $115.7M for homeland security WASHINGTON — Texas will receive $115.7 million in federal money to help law enforcement officials to prevent and respond to potential acts of terrorism, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Monday. State and local governments can apply online for Department of Homeland Security grants from three programs. About $87.9 million will be available under the State Homeland Security program to help state and local police and fire officials to pay for planning, training and equipment to pre vent, respond to and recover from terrorist attacks. Another $26.1 million will be available under the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program to provide law enforcement communities with enhanced capabilities to detect, deter and disrupt terror­ ist acts, focusing specifically on preventing a weapons-of-mass destruction incident. The remaining $1.8 million will be available to support the Citizen Corps Councils with planning, outreach and man­ agement of the corps’ pro­ grams and activities within Texas. Judges set date for start of redistricting trial MARSHALL — Attorneys in a legal fight over a Republican- friendly congressional redistrict­ ing plan have until Friday to draw up a temporary plan that guides counties on how to proceed with elections until the case is resolved, a three-judge federal panel ruled Monday. The judges meeting in U.S. District Judge T. John Ward’s court in Marshall also set a Dec. 11 start date for the trial and ordered the case moved to Austin. Opponents of the new map have argued, among other things, that it is unnecessary and dilutes the voting strength of minority voters. Supporters say the map is fair and legal. If the state and parties suing the state can’t agree on a tem­ porary plan of action for coun­ ties, the judges said they will come up with one. Several attorneys suing the state said county election offi­ cials are confused about whether to proceed with elec­ tions based on the current vot­ ing districts or the map approved by the Legislature last month and signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry. Compiled from Associated Press reports For Ladies Only Are you suffering from the itching, burning, irritation and swelling that a yeast infection can cause?

Benson rushed 28 tim es for 174 yard s and three touchd ow ns, contributing to a Texas rushing offense that gained 353 yards, its m ost in three years. W hile the num ber o f yards was im pressive, the way Benson got the yards was the most startling statistic — 88 yards cam e after contact, and 159 yards cam e in the first and fourth quarters. "C ed ric m ade a bunch o f plays," center Jason G lynn said. "A couple of his biggest runs were when nothing w as there, and he just broke out by himself. He m ade us look a lot better." M any of Texas' rushing yards cam e off a zone nxid play, which they ran repeatedly with either Vince Young or Benson taking it inclu ding m ost of tim e, the Young's 65-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Head coach Mack Brown said the play is the one the rushing offense is identified by now, a sig­ nature am play that has been miss­ ing since Ricky Williams ran an Iso­ lation play to the Heisman trophy "O n e o f the problem s I’ve had with our running game the past couple years is I couldn't find out w hat our best run is," Brown said. "You have to be know n for som ething, and right now', the zone read is our best m n play." W hile the rushing attack is stronger than ever, the extensive the rushing L onghorns w id e receivers to blockers much of the time. reduced has "W e're extended tackles out there," Roy W illiam s said.

After the game, B.J. Johnson exclaim ed, "W h at about those receivers' blocking!" "It puts our pnxiuction down, but we re more mature, and we understand that's our role now," W illiams said. "W e're m aking the plays to help m ake the p l a v s now, and it's som ething we deal with." W illiam s said he wanted to have 9(X)-1,(XX) yards at this point in the season, but currently has 871 — 3(X) less than O klahom a State's Rashaun Woods. Brown also em phasized focusing on improving the passing game dur­ ing M onday's press conference and praised his receivers for their upbeat attitudes throughout the season. "All those guys are going to make the NFL and are' going to do really well, and they want to w'in," Brown said. "T h at's more im portant to them right now."

The All-Star closer was traded Monday from the cost-cutting Astros to the Phillies for right-han­ der Brandon Duckworth, and minor league right-handers Taylor Buchholz and Lzequiel Astacio.

C heck out tom orrow’s Texan for the much- anticipated conclusion of the “M atrix” trilogy, “Matrix Revolutions" starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne M o ss. By Avtmaan Syam Daily Texan Staff I \ pen mentation that's what the Jacob Fivd Ja/./ IVIysscy »-s about. And ja // tJiey re about that tix>. Ami virtuosity, beauty and delicious grwves wrapped in improvisation. Yup, that artful about sums them up. Jacob Fred brought their unique experimental / acid ja // sounds to Antone s on Thursday night tor a pre-Halloween freakout. Mystery Sister started things off with their interesting blend of soul, ja // and work! influences. A trio consisting of keys, bass and guitar mixed with drum machines, Mystery Sister warmed up the crowd with its compelling groove's and willing­ n e s s to push songs into frenetic jams They paved the way for Jacob Fred's set quite well. The Jac oh Fred Jazz t Wyssey has evolved several t i m e s since their conception, paring down from a larger group with horns to a trio and running through a handful of drummers. Keyboardist Brian I Lias and bassist Retd Mathis have been the core of the band through­ out these transformations, but the marvelous cohesion felt in their music did not fully blossom until Jason Smart took over on drums. This particular trio has been together for nearly two years now, and their interaction is a pleasure to watch I la.is will catch on to an improvised melody and play it back immediately, Smart will hear a change in I laas's solo and switch up his drumbeat, taking Mathis with him lliis seemingly instanta­ neous interaction is rarely seen between two musicians, but the members of Jacob Fred have an almost tele- pathu connection. let alone three Previous JFJO tours had fea­ tured Mathis entirely on the elec­ tric, where his effects laden tone made his bass sound more like «1 wailing guitar While Mathis did take this approach on the opener, "Skiball Over the Ocean," most of Jacob Fred's set featured acoustic bass and a less distorted Rhodes- keyboard sound from Haas. The result was a much ja/zier feel for the show, though Jacob Fred still managed to build those songs up with beautiful solos and exciting grooves "We went back and learned like SO of our favorite jazz tunes, you know, standards and stuff," Mathis said after the show. "We're playing 90 percent of this show acoustic, and it's been great getting back to some of our roots." Jacob Fred's ability to take one song in so many directions is astounding — an evil, bass-driving groove will be replaced by a swing­ ing jazz section, a distorted melody will be heightened by a sudden breakbeat. The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey isn't afraid to drop a puls­ ing groove or play with silence. They live for the engrossing thrill of improv, and that comes out in each one of their shows. i HEY Y' YEAH YOU over 1 0UÜ! ...

Seemingly overnight they became the toast of the town — poster boys for the salvation of rock music, from both critics and fans with their fresh take of a new' "garage" sound that spum'd numerous sim­ ilar acts of lesser talent onto the main stage (The Hives). Now 2003, the band has released their answer to the debut "Is This It" with "Room On Fire." It is no secret that for many bands that face this sort of recognition and praise that going into the studio for the follow-up can lead to not only intense pressure, but also the feared label of going through a "sophomore slump." By listening to the new album, it is obvious that either The Strokes decided to play it safe or the title of their debut album wras incredibly accurate. Don't be mistaken though, "R(X)m on Fire" is a very good album, but the main problem is M i k e G o r d o n ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ I \ l III M: “ In sid e In” I,\B I I : R op «*-a-D op e R e co rd s Think Mike Gordon, think í’hish. 1 Te's the band's bass player, so it's perfectly understandable.

The rea­ son it doesn't hit as hard or cutting as the first is because it has been released in a different environ­ ment. In 2001, mainstream music was awakened by their emergence, but now their style has been played, almost to the point of being played out, causing the album to feel like it doesn't mean as much. Songs such as the lead "What Ever Happened?" and "Automatic Stop" are solid and give the same barely understandable fuzzy voice of Julian Casablancas behind the evenly paced guitars and bass. The mellow "Under grooves of Control" and ""The End Has no End" do a great job at sticking out and above the other tracks, but their creativity can leave you wish­ ing the band would have experi­ mented just a little bit more. — Andy Comeaux his own beast, whatever strange, freakish beast it may be. Despite "Inside In" being his first solo album, Gordon doesn't act like a fish out of water on his quirky yet cohesive debut. "Inside Many albums are described as either being an eclectic mix or in a consistent tone. molded What makes In" so unique is its ability to flow so well from one song to the next despite its tracks ranging from avant-garde jazz noodlings to country tunes. Gordon's bass playing and high-pitched vocals are the only things that find their way onto every track. Two artists — slide guitarist Gordon Stone and drummer Russ Lawton — make it on to eight of the 15 tracks. And there are plenty of well-known guests: Bela Fleck, Jon Fishman, Vassar Clements and Gabe Jarrett amongst others. Despite lineups and genres morphing from track to track, G ordon's unique songw riting holds everything together and makes "Insid e In" an album instead of a collection of songs. is an Allman- "Couch Lady" esque rocker, "Take Me Out ii is a country w estern, com plete with twangy guitar and banjo solos, and "Soulfood M an" is a quirky take on playing gospel. Subtle yet compelling, virtu- osic yet accessible, Gordon suc­ cessfully crafts his songs on "Inside In." It's not Phish nor jazz nor country nor rock ... it's Mike, distinctly Mike; hard to peg down, but worth checking out. — Avimaan Syam M a r c A n t o i n e ★ A l Rl M: “ M e d ite rrá n e o " I,MU l : Rendezvous Billing yourself as a contempo­ rary jazz artist is a risky market­ ing ploy, as no one really jumps at the chance to pick up the latest releases in the elevator music sec­ tion of Waterloo.

"Mediterráneo" isn't as lively as how I've always imagined fla­ menco being, but not as lame as we all know elevator music can be. Instead, it comes off like a CD your parents would put on for background music at a dinner party. 1 guess the publicists knew they never really had a shot at the 18-34 demographic anyway. it's not bad music, by any means. In fact, even after only one run through, Antoine's talent is readily apparent. "G ringo," the 10th of the 11 instrumental tracks, is actually quite good, mainly because Antoine leaves behind the trappings of contem­ porary jazz and plucks over a funky tropical bass line. In the end, "M editerráneo" boils down to Antoine being pretty good at what he does, but for Generation X or Next or Y or whatever the hell we are, what he does is just a little boring. — Ford G unter Austin's Exclusive Peepshow Pussycats!
