TABOADA Daily Texan Staff As the flags hung at half-staff T h u rsd ay those gath­ ered to rem em ber the 16 victims of Charles W hitman's killing spree 30 years ago stood in silence. The memorial service, held on the grassy playground area of the University Baptist Church, w as sponsored by the Prayers For Healing From Violence project. The pro­ ject was initiated six m onths ago in response to other Austin tragedies. About 40 supporters attended the ser­ vice. "W e rem em ber this event to em phasize the way the effects of violence last," said the Rev. Larry Bethune, pastor of the University Baptist Church. "These are real people. There is not a m ore significant and well-known case of violence than the Tower tragedy." Jim Vick, U T vice president of student affairs, spoke at the service on behalf o f the University. "It's a difficult issue for a lot of people to deal with," Vick said. "The general essence of the m eeting was to heal w ounds that continue from the incident 30 years ago. It's som ething we can't deny, a sad part of history." Vick said though he was not at the University during this time, he has know n many people affected by the W hitm an m urders. Vick said his n eighbor's daughter was killed in the shooting on Aug. 1, 1966. Bethune, who helped coordinate the mem orial service and the Prayers For Healing From Violence project, said he did not contact the victims' families about the m em o­ rial service, desiring to give them privacy. "T h o se fam ilies grieve in their own w ay," Bethune said. Those gathered to rem em ber Thursday were UT fac­ ulty and students, m em bers of the project, and a few w ho remem bered the shooting that took place Aug. 1, 1966. Ed K loppe, w ho attend ed the service, lived a few blocks east of cam pus in 1966. He said he heard the shots ringing out from the Tower and rushed to find out if his son, who w as attending the University at the time, w as okay. His son was not injured. "N o one else had a Tow er like it at the tim e," Kloppe said . W e w ere b a sk in g in the fact th a t w e had an unusual tower.

H o u se o f R e p r e s e n ta tiv e s c o m m itte e announced a resolution Thursday m eant to enforce college cam pus security nationwide, as stated in the Higher Education Act of 1965. House Resolution 470 was announced by the House and E d u c a tio n a l C o m m itte e on E c o n o m ic O p p o rtu n itie s at a m edia b riefin g in W ash in g to n Thursday morning. T h e re so lu tio n ca lls on th e U .S. D ep a rtm en t o f Education to make enforcem ent of the cam pus securi­ ty provisions of the Higher Education Act a priority. It was passed on a voice vote, said Mindy Tucker, press secretary to U.S. Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Dallas. "I strongly believe that all cam puses should make available inform ation with respect to cam pus crim e statistics and school policies related to cam pus securi­ ty, Johnson said in a prepared statement. "H ow ever, I also believe that the federal govern­ ment has no place m icrom anaging Texas' educational system The University of Texas knows to educate stu­ dents about crim e w ithout som eone in W ashington looking over it's shoulder," he said. "I w ould hope that cam puses across the country would uphold the provisions in the Campus Security Act without congressional action," Johnson said. Jim Vick, UT vice president for student affairs, con­ firmed that the University already releases inform a­ tio n an d s t a tis t ic s r e la tin g to c a m p u s c r im e to prospective students. "It has been required of all universities recently," U S Rep. William Goodling, R-Pa., chairm an of the committee, introduced the resolution to the House in June.

No one k n e w ’his marks­ m anship was that good." K loppe com pared the W hitm an shooting spree with drive-by shoot­ ings today. "W hat's the rationality?" he ques­ tioned under his breath. O thers gathered at the memorial as p a rt o f th e p r o je c t's m o n th ly m eetin g to rem em ber loved on es w h o w e re k ille d in o th e r tr a g ic events. At the close of the memorial ser­ vice, the Tower bells chimed in the distance and a few mourners spoke the names of any victim they knew affected by a violent crime. The bells chimed 16 times at 12:15 p.m ., each chime signifying a victim killed in the W hitm an sh ootings, including W h itm an 's m other and w ife, w h om he had killed before coming to campus that day. Bethune said he helped organize th e P ra y e rs F o r H e a lin g F ro m Violence project for anyone affected by violent crime. The purpose of the p ro ject is to su pport and pray for those involved w ith the tragedies. I he project's meetings are month­ ly, Bethune said, adding he chose the Tower shootings as the topic of their August meeting because there continue to be long-term effects on mourners. Lee Bowman, associate pastor of the First Presbyterian Church who works with the project, said there is hope for those suffering from tragic events like the Whitman shooting. "I'm here because of this group," she said. "I believe it's an important thing for the com m unity to com e together and pray. Prayer is pow er­ ful in the face of violence." USPIRG: Texas ranks 7th in toxin report Continued from page 1 No one knows how many of those chem icals in use in terfere w ith h orm on es, bqt in recen t years a w ide range o f studies have shown 51 chemicals to have vari­ o u s k in d s o f d a m a g e to the r e p ro d u c tiv e sy ste m , including a decrease in fertility and increased incidence of birth defects affecting the male genitalia," he added. B ut B ev e rly C la rk , a sp o k esw o m a n for S h e ll O il ( om pany, said Texans should not worry about repro­ ductive toxins. "W e have done extensive tests on all chem icals that we use and we have not found any of them to cause any major health problem s," she said. Bill Jackson, public outreach director for Greenpeace, said unfortunately the data released Thursday repre­ sents "ju st the tip of the toxic iceberg." We have alm ost no information available to us on 99 percent of synthetic chemicals released into the environ­ ment, and even less information on how much is actual­ ly being used at these facilities — how much is trans­ ported through neighborhoods, how many w orkers are directly exposed, or w hat we are getting in the products we b u y ," Jackson said. "W e have a right to know how these toxic chemicals are used." S p o k e sp e o p le from U S P IR G , P u b lic C itiz e n and Greenpeace said they believe to help limit the dam age o f toxic chem icals on citiz en s' health, the bu rd en of p roof should be on ind u stry to show that ch em icals they use are not harmful. Stafford, Sm ith and Jackson added they would also like to speed up testing on existing chem icals for their full range of health effects, and have the nation's report­ ing laws strengthened. All three advocated the adoption of a right-to-know- more law, which would track the release of toxic chem i­ cals in Texas, once they are already considered w aste products. I fandy: Professor brings ‘UT voice’ to Metro Continued from page 1 One of these pressing issues is the qu arter-cent sales tax increase vot­ ers approved last fall. Citizens have lined up to speak at board m eetings on this issue since its approval last fall. M ost come to p r o te s t th e tax in c r e a s e , sa y in g C apital M etro 's perform ance does not ju stify the larg e tax revenu es they receive, esp ecially in light of the current budget crunch. Som e, how ever, feel it is im por­ tant to h av e enou gh fu n d s for an efficient transit system. H andy said the m oney is neces­ sary for op eratin g the tran sit sys­ tem, especially in lig h t of the uncer- tainty'of federal funds. "W e don't know if, in the future, we will have the same level of fund­ ing," Handy said. "It is likely to be less." She said she feels the root of the problem concerning the tax increase is a lack of communication. Citizens felt the increase w as approved by the board w ithout adequate citizen input, Handy said. "W e have got to figure a way to pu t this issu e behind u s ," H andy said. Handy will replace Scott Polikov as th e "U T v o ic e " on th e b o ard , Polikov said, explaining there is an u n o fficial ag reem en t betw een the City Council and the University that one C ap ital M etro board m em ber have University ties. Although Polikov does not teach at th e U n iv ersity , he received his u n d e rg r a d u a te an d law d e g re e s from the University. H and y said the co u n cil likes to have a UT supporter on the board because the shuttle system accounts for a large part o f C apital M etro's ridership. D avid K ap alko, m an ag er of UT Parking and Traffic Administration, said the U T shuttle routes account fo r o n e -th ir d to tw o -th ir d s o f Capital M etro ridership during the long session. H andy's p 2rrticular strength as a m em b er o f the b o ard w ill be the respect she com m ands from faculty, staff and students, Polikov said. "I think sh e'll be able to balance r e p r e s e n tin g s tu d e n ts an d the a d m in is tra tio n ," P olik o v sa id . "I th in k it w ill b e good f o r th e University as a w hole." Even though she is a leader in her field, teaching is Handy's first prior­ ity, and that is exactly why her stu­ d en ts like h e r so m u ch , P o lik o v said.

"H o p e fu lly she w ill b rin g any U n iv e r s ity -r e la te d is s u e s to the board and be an advocate [for the University]," Kapalko said.

W ayne said , " I w as listen in g to the radio and Roy said, 'I think its over' and when he got up to look he was shot and killed." Richard Kelly had tw o classes in Garrison Hall that Thursday Monday in 1966. While he was walking to the University Co-op after his class, the sh o o ting began. K elly said he hid behind Sheftall Jewelers. "It was the first tim e I had to face m y m o r ta lity . I k n e w th e n th a t so m e d a y I w o u ld a c tu a lly d ie ," Kelly said, adding that he rem em ­ b ers seein g "p e o p le lay in g dow n every w here" and "a huge swath of blood running down the sidew alk." " I t 's em bed d ed in my m em ory forever," Kelly added. "I agree with the University that the event sh o u ld n 't be m em o rial­ ized with a cerem ony each year or statue. We should just try to forget it, but I'm com p elled each year to co m e b a c k h e r e an d lo o k a t the Tow er," Kelly said. K e lly a d d e d th a t s e e in g the Tower is always unsettling for him. "I can still feel the shots ringing in m y e a r s an d s e e w h ite p u ffs o f sm o k e as th e b u lle ts s tr u c k th e Tow er," he said. Randall F rizzell, then a 22-year- old senior, said he was w alking by th e T o w er rig h t w h en W h itm a n began shooting and said he did not realize w hat was going on until he was half way across campus. "Your brain doesn't register what y o u r ey es a re se e in g . I w as h ere when it started — I didn't just walk up on it," Frizzell said, adding that his room m ate "knew him and had classes with Charlie [Whitman] that summer. They were both engineer­ ing students." "If it had started 15 minutes earli­ er or 45 minutes later i t would have been much worse. It really started during class time and not between classes." "I rem em ber the p regn an t lady that w as sh o t," Frizzell said. "She was six or eight feet away from me. When she went down I thought she w as going into labor. Y o u r brain doesn't register w hat's really going on." F riz z e ll said he thin k s it w as Austin residents with hunting rifles who kept Whitman pinned down in the Tower. "T h ey saved m any peop le from b ein g killed . The p o lice o n ly had .38s [h a n d g u n s] an d s h o tg u n s ," F rizzell said. "It w as the civilian s w ith the h u nting rifles th at m ade the d ifferen ce. The p o lice officers probably shot out several windows in th e T o w er. T h e re is no te llin g w here all those .38 [caliber] bullets landed." But Juan Guerrero, an undeclared freshm an in the C ollege of Liberal Arts, said he never fully understood the sig n ifican ce of th e in cid en t to the University. "I didn't really know much about it until they started talking about it on th e n e w s ," he sa id .

M organ Icenogle, a 1995 UT grad­ uate in social work from Delaware, attended the service Thursday. "1 h ad h ea rd a b o u t it b e fo re I moved here," she said, though she only realized the incident occurred at the University once she arrived in Austin. She said she supported the idea of reopening the Tow er's observa­ tion deck. "I think people are curious about it," she said. Icenogle added that a m e m o r ia l p la q u e p la c e d on the observation deck for visitors to see would be appropriate. Guerrero said today's heightened police awareness reduces the risk of a sim ilar incident occurring, and stu­ dents would benefit from an open Tower observation deck today. "Things have changed a lot since then," he said. Kelly Reed, psychology graduate student, offered a different perspec­ tive. "A fter 30 years of this guy getting attention, there could be a risk," he said. But Reed added that "if they took su ffic ie n t se c u rity p re c a u tio n s it could be done."

The 421-2 vote belied m onths of contro­ versy over the measure and set the stage for final Senate approval on Friday. President Clinton's signature is assured. It m eans guaranteed health insurance for everyone w ho's in the system without re g a rd to p re c o n d itio n s , so th a t w e 'v e relieved the largest single anxiety of w ork­ ing middle-class Americans," said Speaker Newt Gingrich. "If you change your job or lose your job, you will no longer risk losing your health insurance too," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said at a news conference attended by the Democratic hierarchy of Congress. " A n d you w o n 't be d en ie d in su ra n c e because of an exclusion for a pre-existing condition." After 18 months of intense political com­ bat between Republicans on the one hand and Clinton and fellow Democrats on the other, the health reform measure was one of several bills law m akers hastened to clear before ad jo u rn in g at w eek 's end for the sum m er's political conventions. Let us for once talk about our system w orking," said Rep. Bill Archer, the Texas Republican who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee. House Democrats failed in a last-minute attem pt to include mental health coverage in the bill.

An effort to boost the fight against terrorism , a hurry-up response to the loss of TWA Flight 800 and last week's bom bing at the O lym pics, was scrubbed after the two sides failed to agree. The health care bill includes an experi­ mental program of tax-exempt medical sav­ ings accounts, as well as tax breaks for the costs of long-term care expected to save individuals and employers nearly $8 billion over the next decade. A portion of long­ term care insurance prem ium s w ould be deductible, as w ould some of the cost of long-term care. The terminally ill would be able to draw dow n their life insurance policies tax-free under the measure. But the measure was stripped of a Senate- passed provision designed to assure parity for insurance coverage for m ental illness H ouse D em ocrats failed in a last-minut* attem pt to restore the provision.

PALESTINIAN PROTEST Whitewater jury acquits bankers of some counts Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — In a victorv for President Clinton, a federal jury on Thursday acquitted two Arkansas bankers of conspiring to misuse their bank to boost his political career, ju ro rs dead lo ck ed on seven other counts, forcing a m istrial on those charges. After six days of deliberation, the jury acquitted H erby Branscum Jr. an d R obert M. H ill on fo u r of 11 counts, handing Independent Coun­ sel Kenneth Starr the first defeat of his Whitewater investigation. S tarr's office can retry the defen­ d a n ts on th e d e a d lo c k e d counts, including charges th a t they w rote them selves bank expense checks to p ay for p o litica l c o n trib u tio n s to Clinton and other politicians.

Inspections reveal no bomb residue on door of TWA Flight 800 Associated Press EAST MORICHES, N.Y. — Tests found no bomb residue on a piece of the front cargo door from TWA Flight 800, dealing a setback to investigators looking for proof that an explosive brought dow n the jetliner, a source said Thursday. The so u rc e, w h o is clo se to the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the door also did not appear to have the scars usually left by a bomb. In a prelim inary inspection of the door, " n o th in g ... jum ps out at us, nothing that looks like it is going to g et us c lo s e r" to p ro v in g w h a t destroyed the plane, the source said. Investigators w ant to find and test the other two-thi rds of the cargo door, the source said. Searchers looking for bodies and w reckage were ham pered for a sec­ ond straight day by choppy seas and heavy rain, but the salvage ship USS G rasp w as able to raise a 40-to-45- foot-long piece of fuselage, the largest fragment of wreckage yet recovered. The piece, which contained 15 pas­ senger cabin w indows, rem ained on deck because seas were too rough to move it to land. R obert F ran cis, h ead of fe d era l investigation, said less than 10 percent of the wreckage had been raised. The bodies of 184 victims had been recov­ ered over the last two weeks, leaving 46 unaccounted for. FBI D irector Louis Freeh said in W ashington that the agency already had interviewed hundreds of people around the w orld, and plied intelli­ gence sources for clues. "We have been doing all the things that agents would normally do in an in v e stig a tio n ," Freeh said. " If it's tu rned over to us we will not have lost any time." In v e stig a to rs w ho th in k a bom b brought Flight 800 down have theo­ rized that the blast occurred in the front cargo hold, w hich the source said carried passengers' baggage. If so, the search for a potential bomber co u ld be n a rro w e d to th o se w ith access to the bags. Investigators also speculate that a bomb could have been placed in the nose wheel, or in a food cart in the front upper section of the plane, the source said. Bombs placed in luggage stored in the front cargo hold are thought to have destroyed a French airliner over the Sahara in 1989 and Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland in 1988. Investiga­ tors are studying both cases for simi­ larities to Flight 800, which exploded and plunged into the Atlantic about 10 miles off Long Island. In field tests, some pieces of debris had shown traces of suspicious chemi­ cals. But as of Thursday, the source said, none of those readings had been confirmed by tests with more sophis­ ticated equipm ent in Washington.

For now, Bujumbura's port is busy, but that could change if East African nations follow through on their threat of sanctions to penalize Burundi for last week's military-led coup. One of the poorest countries in the world, Burundi's fragile economy, already battered by three years of civil war, could be ruined by a tra d e em bargo. A nd the c o u n try 's sizab le underground economy could grow more so.

African leaders said W ednesday they were com m itted to putting pressure on B urundi's new m ilitan leader, Pierre Buyoya, "including sanctions' to torce him to restore constitutional rule. Like most African nations, Burundi is bat­ tling a massive foreign debt that has strangled economic development. Its $1 billion-plus debt is four times its GNP. Most foreign loans to Burundi were cut off two years ago, with the United States terminat­ ing $3 million in developm ent aid after last week's coup. The tiny landlocked country depends on its neighbors to import its coffee, tea, cotton and other raw materials. Most of the coffee, which accounts for 80 percent of the country's exports, is transported by boat dow n Lake Tanganyika and then via railroad across Tanzania to the port of Dar es Salaam. In some cases, it is sent overland to the Kenyan port of Mombasa.

The African nations have not been able to agree on the details of the embargo — how it would be imposed and when it would begin. Buyoya issued a statement Thursday calling "on all of Burundi's foreign friends to trust the new (governm ent),... and to wait and judge on their results."

Military court frees Nazi who helped kill 335 ■ ROME — A military court freed for­ mer SS Capt. Erich Priebke Thursday, ruling that he was just following orders w hen he helped m assacre 335 Italian civilians in Nazi-occupied Rome. R elatives of the victim s scream ed and wept in the tiny courtroom as the verdict was announced in one of the last trials of a senior Nazi officer. Joined by p ro testers, the relativ es blocked Priebke's exit from the court­ room for five h o u rs, p re v en tin g his return to prison for processing. Scuffles broke out after dozens of Jewish youths burst into the courthouse to reinforce the blockade. A slight smile crossed Priebke's face after his lawyer, Velio Di Rezze, leaned over to explain the verdict, which fol­ lowed a three-month trial. "It is a victory for Italian justice," Di Rezze said. After the verdict, Argentina's Interior Minister announced that Priebke would be barred from returning to Argentina, where he had lived for decades before his 1994 arrest.

Fri­ day, University of Texas at Arling­ ton President Robert W itt mandated "sen sitiv ity " racial and cultural training for top University officials. O f course, his proposal actually serves as institutional camouflage for racial preferences. Accusations of racial intolerance in UTA 's School of Social Work prompted W itt's edict. In March, an undergraduate "in tercep ted " an electronic m essage from a w hite professor referring to three female African American administrators as "The Suprem es." Though inappro­ priate and foolish, the remark was rather innocuous and certainly not malicious. Yet som e administrators claim this and other incidents inten­ sified campus racial tension. All three alleged victims resigned. Declining to explain their motiva- -i V • T \ Jim Dedman TEXAN COLUMNIST tion, they refuse to grant interviews on the subject. Supporters believe they fled dis­ crim ination, w hile others in the School of Social W ork say they left because of personal and administra­ tive conflicts. Fearing the former, administrators hastily ordered the race-based sensitivity sessions w ith­ out investigation. Witt claims the mandatory ses­ sions will curtail racial strife by teaching acceptance and cultural understanding. Quite the contrary, diversity ses­ sions legitimize academ ia's newest social science, victimology: the prac­ tice of granting special treatment to ethnicities who have faced historical discrimination. These sessions focus on immutable physical characteris­ tics irrelevant to resolving interper­ sonal conflicts. In fact, sensitivity . . . training is simply indoctrination emphasizing skin color over charac­ ter. M andatory sensitivity training also leads the University System fur­ ther down the slippery slope of political correctness. African Ameri­ can race and culture scholar Thomas Sowell observed, "T he call for cul­ tural diversity is a call for ideologi­ cal conform ity." Students across the nation face school officials enforcing diversity through rigid censorship and sensitivity m onitors. Forbid­ ding dissent, adm inistrators tarnish legitim ate critics' cred ibility by branding them racists and bigots. W itt's new policy establishes a precedent for such O rw ellian tactics in the UT System. Judging by skin color is as iniqui­ tous in the 1990s as it was in the 1950s. By prom oting division to remedy discrimination, adm inistra­ tors fail miserably in their quést to provide minorities equal opportuni­ ty. If administrators are dedicated to providing the disadvantaged with educational opportunities, why do they consistently oppose experi­ menting with revolutionary color­ blind approaches? School choice and the voucher system could invig­ orate public schools and provide inner city youths great opportuni­ ties in college. N evertheless, adm inistrators blindly focus on race-based non­ sense such as diversity training. W ith their adm issions policy ruled unconstitutional, racial prefer­ ence advocates are searching for dif­ ferent ways to focus exclusively on race. It begins with mandatory train­ ing of top officials and hiring social engineers, euphemistically dubbed "diversity coordinators." Mandato­ ry sensitivity classes do not break barriers; they reinforce them. UTA officials must realize we don't need mandatory classes to learn the value of equality; students must be treated equally at all times regardless of skin color.

VIEWPOINT Reformation W ednesday, President Clinton promised to sign the G O P's latest welfare reform proposal. This is a m omentous, historic and frighten­ ing event. And it's the right thing to do.The bill proposes the most sweeping reforms in how our nation deals with poverty since the Depression. This com prom ise replaces federal guarantees of cash for poor children with block grants to the states, requires "w elfare moth­ ers to work within two years, demands 80 percent of welfare recipi­ ents to be oft the dole in five years or less, permits states to penalize women tor avoiding work, curtails providing services to illegal im mi­ allows states to end Medicaid payments to legal immi- grants' k Ik TLbl mÍS (al * ? ? ? perf6Ct Clinton was blasted for ^ decision by both The New York Times and The Washington Post. He is accused of taking food out of childrens mouths. Many argue that without invest­ ing sufficiently in job-creating programs, the reforms essentially abandon poor Americans. They see Clinton's support as a callous fooT Ct Pr5ven^ ng Republicans from harping on Clinton's 1 .. 2 pledge to end welfare as we know it," which a veto would have left unaccomplished. Such concerns are not without merit; it remains to be seen whether we can administer a scaled-back welfare system in a com passionate and hum ane fashion. Particularly inequitable is the bill s provision allowing states to deny taxpaying legal immigrants benefits. Republicans, such as House M ajority Whip Tom Delay, R- bugar Land, love that idea. Even though it's questionable whether the egal-immigrant com ponent could pass constitutional muster such shortcomings cannot and m ust not be overlooked. But the reforms are still a step forward. Many well-intentioned critics, blinded by their admirable concern for the disadvantaged, miss a critical fact: America demands welfare reform now. Our current welfare system smothers initiative, rewards passivity and dependence and is a primary contributor to the Third World zones w e've created within our cities. Promising to attack welfare e ped elect Bill Clinton. Promising "tou gh" reform measures helped the Republicans take over Congress. Those arguing Clinton is just p aying the num bers" ignore what those numbers represent: We know welfare is broken; w e're ready to try new ideas. The reforms allow states to experim ent with new poverty solutions and attempt to deconstruct a system that has encouraged men to eave their families, creating a vast num ber of fatherless households. As Rep E C lay Shaw Jr., R-Fla. remarked, "W e have paid people not to marry. We have paid people to have children out of marriage We paid people not to work. That is destructive." Too true. It's high time we considered a new direction, and by the standards of this partisan era, the welfare reform bill is a triumph. s i resident Clinton said, this bill, at the very least, strives "to m a te welfare what it was meant to be: a second chance, not a w ay of Bush no verbal genius at doling out campaign advice rapidly w aning Bob Dole siirmlv can't vpt a hroaV Bob Dole simply can't get a break. The sum m er months were supposed to be his opportunity to reintroduce him self to America as a citizen, and to even the playing field with P resident Clinton. But Dole is still in the lock­ er room: a recent ABC News poll shows' Clinton's lead has ballooned to a staggering 24 percent. W hile pundits contend this is unimportant, since the election is still three months away, note that by this time four years ago, Clinton had C h ris Turner TEXAN COLUMNIST overtaken President Bush. Bush never again led Clinton. Dole stopped off at Bush's Maine retreat last week for some advice and help. As usual, Bush did not dis­ appoint. "I'll do anything Senator Dole wants me to do. My heart lies at this level, the D ole level and I want to and I will do absolutely any­ thing they ask me to do." Bush said. A Doleful speech indeed. Asked if he had any advice for Dole, Bush said, "I have no advice to give him but should he ask on a spe­ cific subject, related to the campaign or anything else, I would be glad to share it with him ." Dole is not the most riveting of speakers, and one has to question putting him in the same room with a verbal carousel like Bush. But then again, D ole's advisers have been inept in all phases. To make matters worse, after cam paigning for nearly a year and a half, Dole has yet to tell America why he wants to be presi­ dent. Sure, he wants Clinton out, but that s not going to be good enough. Dole must make a better case to the public the Antichrist," which seems to be about the only thing Republicans are say­ ing lately. "C linton than is But what else can they say? The econom y created 10 million new jobs under Clinton, federal deficit of the Reagan-Bush years has the been cut in half, interest rates are low so people are buying homes, more cops are on the streets and the working poor got a tax break. It's hard to be against any of these things, so Dole has a tough time coming up with issues. Recently, he has been promoting school vouch­ ers. Republicans like this idea a lot because it allows the governm ent to lend a helping hand to the most affluent Americans at the expense of the m iddle class and the poor, while sim ultaneously violating the wall separating church and state. No matter what Dole talks about however, he is simply a bonng can didate running a boring campaign The only upcom ing developmenl worth talking about is his choice of a running mate, but sources say that the top contenders are all a bunch of boring governors. Hey! Dole should pick G eorge Bush. At least that would make the debate with A! Gore interesting. Turner is a government senior. FIRING LINE Nazi Games In response to John R odden's suggestion we "Take Hitler out of 1936 O lym pics" (7/26), as a m em ­ ber of the UT Norm andy Scholar last spring, I studied World W ar II and did extensive research on the 1936 Olympiad. Although som e Olym pic history has been rewritten in popular cul­ ture, Rodden's statem ent that the Games w eren't under Nazi control incorrect. is unsubstantiated and Hitler put on the Olympics with three goals in mind: (1) im press the planet with the G am es' extrava­ gance and organization, (2) impress the sporting world with the dom i­ nance o f Aryan athletes, and (3) convey to the world that the New Germany wished only to achieve good will and friendship with other nations. The O lym pics was a way for Hitler to promote Aryan ideology in an international forum and dis­ play a benign false front to cover his military and genocidal am bi­ tions. He was successful; Germany won more medals than the other countries and many people had a positive view of Germany after the Games. However, my assertions would be without merit (like Rodden's) if I did not provide any hard evidence of Nazi control. The woman Rod­ den interviewed, Frau Robaschik, denied Nazi influence, pointing out that h er boss on the G erm an Olym pic Committee, Dr. Theodor Lewald, was Jewish. But Rodden failed to note that Hitler removed Lewald from his post due to his ancestry, and only replaced him after a threatened boycott by the threatened IOC. The Americans and French also the Olympics because of a Nazi ban on Jewish athletes participating on the German national team. to boycott The countries softened after Helene Meyer, a half-Jewish fencer, w as allowed to compete for G er­ many. Rodden states that Hitler did not snub Jesse Owens after he won a gold medal in the 110-yard dash; while this is true, Hitler did refuse to honor two black high-jum p medalists after congratulating all previous medalists. The Nazi press even devised a scoring system that did not count medals earned by the "Black Auxil­ iaries;" they did not consider them human. Signs reading "Jew s go hom e!" and "Jew s not wanted here!" w ere also taken down, as the Nazis ordered all "Jew -baiting" to cease for the G am es' duration to boost popular opinion. I could fill a new spaper with examples of Nazi influence on the 1936 Olympics, but all I wish to do is show how easy it is to forget and downplay something as horrible as the Nazi regime and their crimes. The IOC brushed aside the moral issue of an Olympics in Berlin for what they saw as the greater cause of sport. Now that genocide has again becom e an issue, let's not rewrite history, as Rodden has, to again put sport above morality. Kyle Herman Plan ll/finance senior Sexual healing Duane Pozza's (7 /3 0 /9 6 ) column unfairly calls polygamy a "w ild er" practice than same-sex m arriage. Unlike hom osexuality, polygamy has a long respected history’ both in Eastern and Western civilizations and religions. Also I'm sure any poll would show that the over­ w helm ing m ajority of citizens would rather engage in polygamy than homosexuality. Many would probably be all for it. The argum ent that sam e-sex marriage would dissipate criticisms of promiscuity in the homosexual com m unity applies to polygamy too. W e're all aware of the relaxing sexual mores in the heterosexual community. Excluding polygamy is narrow­ minded. Rather than taking cheap shots, hom osexuals and polyga­ mists should come together. Histor­ ically, progress has been catapulted when minority groups put aside join forces. their differences and Everyone benefits from unity, other groups will join once the move­ ment is under way. For instance, my cat is a higher life form than most human males. Animal rights groups should look into this issue. And my friend says he'll join up if the agenda includes em ployer-sub­ sidized repair of vacuum cleaners. Aline Lurie Computer science junior Titular pursuit True to YC T tradition, Doug Lord's attack on M ichelle Moore (7 /3 0 ) displays a lack of substance. 1 doubt that M oore' would doom us to m ediocrity" as Lord suggests. If he paid attention, he'd have seen she did not question the pursuit of excellence in any field; instead, she questioned the methods by which gymnasts pursue it. a The treatment of gymnasts has controversial point becom e recently. For everyone who, like Amanda Smith, values his or her experience as a gym nast, there seems to be someone wondering if it is worth the cost of training. It's a valid issue that deserves debate. But while Smith advances the debate by speaking from her expe­ rience, Lord sim ply attacks the fem inazic argum ent as "typical garbage," using ridiculous leaps in logic to discredit Michelle as som e­ one unw orthy of attention. This adds nothing to the issue. Firing Line should be credited for letter: titling L ord 's properly "Ludicrous logic." Lee Hurtado UT alum Pursuit of dreams I don't often agree with Doug Lord, but this is an exception. His language may be abrasive and pos­ sibly abusive, but his points are absolutely right. M ichelle M oore's ( 7 /2 9 /9 6 ) let­ ter that started all this discussion bothered me too. When I watched the gymnastics events, I didn't see abused children with fame-crazed parents. I saw courage, confidence, and young women there because they wanted to be. Would anyone forced into gymnastics make the brave choice Kerri Strug did on her last vault? Could any parent force the kind of intensity into their child that you see on D om inique Dawes' face? I have nothing but respect for this team, for they clearly know the meaning easily can of honor. Lord makes another point 1 support: it s dangerous to believe that excellence is abnormal or to be avoided. If we stop excelling, we stop advancing; if we stop advancing, in a way we stop living. I wish more like our people had dream s Olym pic athletes; maybe it would be a better world. Som e choose to pursue their dreams instead of holding others back. That's because they know what they're worth. Bruce Bostwick Austin resident Mea Culpa? I apologize about not knowing the facts on the 1976 hijacking, but that w asn't the point of my (7 /2 9 /9 6 ) letter. Quite frankly, I was surprised that there was more response to a story than to an insult. 1 hank you for clearing me up, it was much appreciated, but that story really had nothing to do with my opinion about the weak logic and cowardice of dom estic terrorism. A lex Mueller Chemistry senior Trainspotting It's interesting the AP article con­ cerning possible expansion of Amtrak service in Texas described Am trak as "governm ent su bsi­ dized." Almost every news medi­ um I read took special care to point out A m trak's subsidized status. That Amtrak relies on subsidies is true, but it's interesting to note that all form s of transportation are heavily subsidized, either directly by the governm ent, or de fa cto ’ through tax credits, tax write-offs, or sw eetheart exploration leases and mineral fees on our federal lands. The amount of subsidization that auto and air travel receives makes the Amtrak subsidies look like peanuts. How much does the FAA spend to promote airlines and build airports? O ur governm ent built roads, necessary for autom o­ bile travel. Oil com panies are allowed to extract oil or explore for oil on governm ent owned lands. The fees they pay don't even meet the managing costs. We pay the dif­ ference. I'd love to see a Texan story highlighting subsidization of ALL modes of transportation.

The joint com m ission last accredited the Student Health Center on Aug. 7, 1993, with reco m m en d atio n s for im p rovem en t, said Janet M cIntyre, spokesw om an fo r the Joint Com mission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The joint commission is a national organi­ z a tio n b a s e d in th e C h ic a g o area th a t accredits more than 15,000 health care orga­ nizations including m ore than 5,000 hospi­ tals. "That is not unusual for an organization to receive recom m end ations for im prove­ m ent," M cIntyre said, adding that 39 p er­ cent of accredited facilities like the health c e n te r r e c e iv e fo r improvement. re c o m m e n d a tio n s A ccord in g to a jo in t com m ission d o cu ­ BASKHG M THE SUN ment defining accreditation ratings, the rat­ ing received by the UT Student Health C en­ ter in 1993, Accreditation with Type I R ec­ om m end ations, "is aw arded to o rg an iza­ tions that receive at least one recommenda­ tion addressing insufficient or unsatisfacto­ ry standards com pliance in a specific perfor­ mance area." The joint commission grants seven levels o f accred itatio n from A ccred itatio n w ith C om m en d ation dow n to Not A ccred ited . The accreditation level the UT Health Cen­ ter received ranks third. The accreditation survey comes less than four months after UT student Jennifer Spar- rgrove's death on May 4. Sparrgrove died after a series of misdiagnoses at the Student Health Center last spring. Jim Vick, UT vice president for student affairs, said, "It's clear that any cases that have been dealt with by the health center are a concern to the health center." "W e have a policy that deals with sentinel events," said M cIntyre, adding that a sen ­ tinel event is an incident which brings into qu estio n a fa cility 's o p eratio n s. Su ch an event serves as a signal that policy or proce­ dure may be improper at a health care facili­ ty, she said.

"W e do have the option to do an unan­ nounced for-cause survey," she said. "Su r­ veyors would go in to see if an event is an isolated event or if that event points to a system-wide policy." Jean n e C arpenter, asso ciate d irecto r of administrative services at the health center, said the health center has not yet had any for-cause surveys, but she added the joint commission will sbnd several surveyors for two days at the end of August. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations issued new stan­ dards last January, Carpenter said. "W e've been reviewing these standards," Carpenter said. The standards m anuals for am bulatory care published by the joint commission con­ tain m ore than 300 standards with w hich the h ealth center w ill have to compTy to earn a good accreditation rating, M cIntyre said. "W e are proud o f the fact th at w e are accredited by the com m ission," Vick said. Vick added that only a small percentage of health centers are accredited. I feel that we have a very good health center, and I'm very optim istic," he said. The joint commission categorizes the UT Health Center as an "am bulatory facility," m eaning it treats patients primarily on an outpatient basis, M cIntyre said. O f the 15,000 institutions accredited by th e a c c r e d ita tio n c o m m is s io n , 450 are ambulatory facilities and only 25 to 30 are student health centers, she said. McIntyre said 39 percent of the 450 ambu­ latory organizations accredited by the joint com m ission have received recom m en d a­ tions for improvement. "W e estimate there are 1,000 to 1,600 stu­ dent health centers existing" in the United States, M cIntyre said. "T h ere's really only one other accred itation com m ission, and they accredit the same number of ambulate ry facilities that we do. The rest are just out there." "T h o u g h a c c re d ita tio n is v o lu n ta r y /' McIntyre said, "there are strong incentives." A ccreditation requires that an organiza­ tion open itself for outside evaluation, and earn in g accred itatio n is like earn in g the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, she said. It is an award that encourages continu­ ous quality improvement. Control over environment debated JUAN ALANIS, JR. D aily Texan Staff U T students and facu lty gen erally agree with the results of a poll released this w eek which says the m ajority of A m erican s are in fav or o f local and re g io n a l co n tro l o f e n v iro n m e n ta l issues, as opposed to federal govern­ ment control. The poll was cond u cted by a n on­ partisan Washington-based firm called The Polling Company. Surveyors inter­ viewed 1,000 registered voters nation­ wide regarding who should handle the responsibility of p rotecting the en v i­ ronment. It was released by the C om ­ petitive Enterprise Institute in W ash­ ington. The resu lts o f the su rv ey in d icate that about 65 percent of Americans feel state and local governm ents can do a better job of handling environm ental protection issues than the federal gov­ ernment has. The poll also revealed that 65 percent o f A m ericans said they feel the state and local governments should be first ones to have responsibility in protect­ ing water quality. S e v e n ty -tw o p e rc e n t said th ey b eliev e state and local govern m ents would do a better job determining pol­ lution control measures to help insure an area's air quality. UT students and staff showed mixed reaction to the results of the poll. Rebecca McGowan, a physics gradu­ ate stu d e n t, sa id sh e is u n d e cid ed about whether local and state govern­ ment can manage the environment bet­ ter than the federal government. "I do not know w ho does a better job,' M cGowan said, adding the City of Austin would probably do a great job h andling its ow n en v iro n m en tal issues, since the area has environmen­ tal clubs like Save O ur Springs. Though in other cities, "m o n ey and industry m ay com e b efo re the en v iro n m en t," McGowan added. Yvette Cavazos, a journalism junior said, "Yes, I agree with the poll, except for the last one." That result shows a few people polled said they feel President Clinton is the most important problem facing the U.S., not the environment. Cavazos said, "I do not think C lin­ ton's the problem. He has done a lot for u s." K a th e rin e P e c o re , a se n io r o ffic e assistant in the D epartm ent of C om ­ p u ter S cie n ces, also d isag reed w ith people who say Clinton is the problem. "He is no worse than other presidents we have had," Pecore said, adding she agrees with the survey's first point. "I might agree on the first one, most­ ly because they're right there and can see [the problems]." Marissa Jasso, an undeclared sopho­ more in the College of Natural Science, agreed th at en v iro n m en tal m an ag e­ ment should be left up to local govern­ ment, and she also agreed on the land compensation issue. T think the owner should get some­ thing out of it if they can not build on it," she said. Sixty four percent o f survey respon­ dents said landowners should be com­ pensated by governm ent when en v i­ ronm ental reg u latio n s p reven t them from using their property. Federal regulations protect lands with endangered species, said G reg Smith, public information officer for CEI. "If you have land and have an endan­ gered sp ecies on it, then you cannot touch it," Sm ith said. He added that environm ental regulations affect both p riv ate and co m m ercial d evelo p ers, although many of those surveyed said the compensation from the government should be more for private owners.

MELISSA B. T A S C A D A _____ Daily Texan Staff Behind the scenes of the Am eri­ can Red C ross' em ergency efforts are computer systems keeping track of supplies, volunteers and victims to maintain free, organized and effi­ cient assistance during national dis­ asters. The Red Cross has relocated its sole D isaster C o m p u te r M a in te ­ nance Center — which safely stores and m aintains the co m puter sys­ tem s that aid the d isaster rescue teams — to Austin. The center, now located at 501 W aller St., opened Wednesday. C huck St. L a u re n t, sy ste m s adm inistrator, said the com puters are crucial in aiding national disas­ ters because they are used to keep trac k of d a m a g e a sse ssm e n ts, names of the victims, supplies being shipped to the disaster area and vol­ unteers, and staff sent to aid in dis­ aster relief.

Deleon said when he saw the Red Cross' want-ad for building space in a magazine, he decided this w as a cau se the c o m p a n y w a n te d to donate to. He ad d e d th at the co m p an y is com m itted to the rejuvenation of the economy and buildings in East Austin, as m any Micro-Media Solu­ tions employees live in the area, and felt this was another way to achieve this goal. "W e had th e a b ility to d o it," D eleon said. "We d id n 't w a n t to keep our abilities to ourselves. If we can help out we will." Officials from the Red Cross said one reason A ustin w as chosen as the site was that the Red Cross has "We chose Austin because the air­ port is open 365 days a year," St. Laurent said. "Austin is a good cen­ tral location and the airport w ould­ n 't be do sed dow n by bad w eath­ er." The Red Cross also chose Austin because it has good access to Feder­ al Express, which ships the comput- ‘ers w ithout charge. The center houses 100 IBM Model 57 computers and other crucial sup­ plies used during national disasters. Last year, these com puter system s w ere s h ip p e d to m o re th a n 100 national disaster areas. Julie T hom as, p u b lic re la tio n s coordinator for the Red Cross, said the center was previously located in Dallas. When the Red Cross dedded to m ove the com puter system s to Austin, the com puters were stored at the A u stin Red C ro ss C entex C h ap ter. H ow ever, th ere w as no room to store or m aintain the sys­ tems, she said. "Just like any function, the com ­ puters are the key to operate effi­ ciently," St. Laurent said.

A ustin police hom icide in v estig a to rs charged Daniel Carl Greeley, 26, Thursday with the m urder of Bruce Becker, an Austin man who was reported missing July 16. Police charged Greeley with murder. Bail was set at $100,000. Greeley is not yet in custody and investigators said they believe he is out of the state.

"We do have some alternates. We will do what's best for the team and the country." Lewis, in his final Olympics, is not an alternate because he cramped up and finished last in the 100 at the Olympic trials, then refused an invi­ tation to participate in relay workouts at a training camp in North Carolina. But he immediately began cam­ paigning for a spot after winning a record-tying ninth gold in the long jump on Monday, saying he should run nis customary anchor leg. "I accepted a long time ago that I wouldn't run on the relav. I wasn't Fridav's first round of the wouldn't run on the relay. I wasn't part of the team and it didn't mat­ ter," Lewis said Thursday. "But then this gold medal threw a mon­ key wrench into the plans. People said they would like to see me run." Hunt has criticized Lewis for not attending the relay workouts, and relay members Dennis Mitchell and Jon Drummond have expressed their displeasure with Lewis trying to get on the team. Friday's first round of the relay. But assuming the U.S. squad makes it through the first round, Lewis could be added for the semifinals Friday night or the final Saturday. Nations must declare the members of their relay teams an hour before each race. The night he won the long jump, Lewis started his campaign to get on the relay team and break the record of nine Olympic gold medals he shares with Finnish distance runner Paavo Nurmi, Soviet gymnast Larysa Latynina and American swimmer Mark Spitz. But Hunt has said that Lewis would be strongly considered for a spot in case of an injury because of his vast experience. Lewis has anchored six 400-ineter relay teams to world records. Along with Mike Marsh, Burrell and Mitchell, he set the world record of 37.40 seconds at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. to Burrell The U.S. relay team in Atlanta had been Drummond to Marsh to Mitchell.

A Texas lawmaker even wrote to Pres­ ident Clinton seeking additional support in Lewis' bid. Lewis could end up passing the baton with someone who would rather not see him there. "I'd like to see Carl get what he wants," Drummond said. "But what is it about — to give Carl a 10th medal, or deny someone else a chance of ful­ filling their dream? I think that's the question that needs to be answered." Johnson: Dallas native breaks his own record Continued from page 7 Brackens looks to make immediate impact with Jags 64 He [Brackens] certainly has dem onstrat­ Associated Press ed the ability to make plays.” — Tom CouoNkt, liirn rrn rrtfc iAm m pt caad JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — When former Longhorn defensive end Tony Brackens was still available in the second round of the NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars figured he was a bargain. And the Texas farm boy and for­ mer rodeo competitor has given them no reason to second-guess themselves. They selected the 6-4, 270-pounder because his quickness was expected to provide an immedi­ ate boost for the moribund Jack­ sonville pass rush. But the Jaguars got an unexpected bonus. Brackens is showing signs he also can contribute against the run. "He certainly has demonstrated the ability to make plays," coach Tom Coughlin said. "Interestingly enough, he has made as many plays on the run as he has on the pass, which is a very good sign." Brackens figures to get a big test against the run when the Jaguars open their preseason schedule Friday night against the New York Giants. The Giants, coming off a 5-11 sea­ son, have retooled their offensive line. Greg Bishop has moved from guard to join Scott Gragg at tackle. Right guard Ron Stone signed as a free agent after three years in Dallas. Guard Rob Zatechka, who started late last season, and center Brian Williams round out a line in which every player weighs at least 300. "We do expect the Giants will run the ball, and we will be tested defen­ sively versus the run and play- action pass," said Coughlin, an assistant on the Giants' team that won the Super Bowl in 19^1. The Jaguars signed free agent John Jurkovic from Green Bay to help with the run, and Brackens has lined up on both sides during train­ ing camp, although he is expected to battle for Joel Smeenge's starting spot at left end. "I feel like I'm going to be put through a test," Brackens Said. "But as far as evaluating me, if they did­ n't feel comfortable with me in the beginning, I don't think they would have drafted me." The Jaguars, with a league-low 17 sacks last year, selected linebacker Kevin Hardy with the No. 2 pick overall. Coughlin said he had rated Brackens as the second-best pass rusher on their draft chart when their second pick, No. 33 overall, came up. Brackens has been in the backfield throughout camp, often wrapping up running backs Natrone Means and James Stewart. There also have been times "when I get back there when I'm not supposed to be there," said Brackens. "Tony has certainly had some good days and some segments of practice not so good," Coughlin said. "Game situations are what you need to approach as a young player, to see if you can maintain it." Coughlin hasn't given any indica­ tion how long the first unit will play Friday night. The Jaguars have only about four positions truly up for grabs, a rarity for a second-year team. Brackens realizes he has plenty of work to do. "If they want me to play on third down, so be it," he said. "I'll be a pass-down player. "But it's important to me to be an all-around player, not just to improve in one area. I'd like to be versatile enough where if I need to go in on first or second down, I can do that." U.S. 1 win from gold Associated Press ATLANTA — Credit victory No. 100 to Sir Charles. Charles Barkley took over the game Thursday night and put the United States one win away from the gold medal in the 100th Olympic victory for an American men's basketball team, 101-73 over Australia. The Dream Team had its worst shooting performance of the Olympics and never truly shook off a team that didn't even expect to make it into the semifinals, but the Americans still had a relatively easy time. The championship game will be Saturday night against Yugoslavia, and the U.S. team will enter it with an all-time record of 100-2. Barkley was the difference, scoring 24 points, shooting 7-for-7 from the field and giving Americans the infusion of energy they needed to keep a comfortable lead. Barkley, who was involved in an altercation with'Aus­ tralian guard Shane Heal during a July 12 exhibition game, also grabbed 11 rebounds and scored nine points in a row midway through the second half. The final 28-point deficit made it seem like another blowout, but the Americans led by just 13 with a little more than 10 minutes remaining. Former Seton Hall star Andrew Gaze kept the Aussies close, scoring 21 of his 25 points in the first half. Heal had four 3-pointers and 19 points. Shaquille O’Neal dunks the ball in the first half of the semifinal game against Australia. a s s o c i a t e d p r e s s One measure of Johnson's speed: If the world record 9.84 seconds run by Donovan Bailey of Canada to win the 100 meters last Saturday were dou­ bled, it would still be slower than Johnson's time by .36 seconds. Johnson ran the first 100 meters in 1(1.12 seconds, the second 100 in 9.20. "I saw him ahead of me going into the straight, and I said, 'Well, there goes first,' " Boldon said, as he sat be ide Johnson after the race. I hey always say the world's fastest human is the winner of the 100. But the world's fastest human is sit­ ting to my left." lex id poisoning drained Johnson bef 1.39 PAULANER BEER ALL TYPES to*» < « 9 * . 1 . 6 9 SAMUEL SMITH WINTER WELCOME ^ s o ,** 2.19 NATURAL LIGHT or 16Ga( «eg MILWAUKEE'S BEST W.L.WELLER 90* KY.

Johnson's qualifying time, 20.27 seconds, didn't come close to Freder­ icks' 19.98 winning time in the next heat. Johnson watched that second heat rather indifferently from track- side, secure in the feeling that if he ran the way he's capable it wouldn't matter what anybody else did. No one had beaten Johnson in the 200 over a span of two years: from July 6, 1994, when Fredericks won in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Johnson finished fourth, to July 5 this year in Oslo, Norway, when Fredericks won again. "My career, ever since I got started, has been based on bringing the 200 and 400 together and doing some­ thing nobody else has done," John­ son said. "Doing it at the Olympics is the ultimate accomplishment." O’Brien: Emotional day ends in gold Continued from page 7 O'Brien had a 209-point lead over Busemann entering the, 10th event, the 1,500 meters, always his worst. But he only had to come within 40.5 seconds of Busemann to clinch the gold. O'Brien faded midway through the race, but mounted a final kick at the end to erase all doubt. "I heard the crowd chanting 'USA, USA,"' O'Brien said. "It's what I'd thought about when I was jogging back home." Adopted at age 2, raised in the small southern Oregon town of Kla­ math Falls, O'Brien grew into a rowdy teen-ager who flunked out of too college because he partied much. Finally, he was readmitted to the University of Idaho. He eventually quit drinking and dedicated himself to becoming the world's greatest athlete. But a nightmare in New Orleans four years ago haunted O'Brien until Thursday night. He already was the world cham­ pion. He and U.S. teammate Dave Johnson were the subject of an intense "Dan and Dave" advertising campaign by Reebok. The stage was set for Barcelona, but O'Brien flunked the audition. In the pole vault, he passed to 16 feet,3/4 inches, then missed three times and failed to even make the U.S. team. O'Brien went on to set the world record just a few weeks after the then won two more championships. But every- -vasn't set right until Thurs- Olympics, world thing wasn' day night. O'Brien learned not to be so cocky. In the pole vault at the U.S. trials, and again at the Olympic Games, he started at a cautious 14-9. Thursday night, in a tedious pole vault competition that lasted four hours on a muggy Georgia after­ noon, O'Brien passed the star- crossed height of 16-0, then cleared 16-4 3/4. When the day began in a driving rain, Busemann broke his own world best in the 110-meter hurdles, winning in 13.47 seconds. O'Brien was timed in 13.87, but the German had cut O'Brien's lead to 71 points. OLYMPIC NOTES .Atada 10% BASEBALL Japan hit five home runs — three off Kris Benson — in an 11-2 semifinal victory over the United States. Instead of a Cuba-U.S. rematch for the gold Friday, it will be Japan trying to deny the Cubans a second Olympic gold. The United States will play Nicaragua for the bronze. Orestes Kindelan hit his Olympic-record eighth homer as Cuba advanced to the gold- medal game with an 8-1 victory over Nicaragua. Kindelan and Juan Manrique hit three-run homers. Cuba has set an Olympic record with 30 home runs. BOXING Terrance Cauthen failed in a bid to become the first U.S. boxer to reach the finals. Cauthen was outpointed 15-12 by Tontcho Tontchev of Bulgaria in a 132-pound semifinal. "I thought 1 won it," Cauthen said "I just didn't get it. 1 outboxed him. I was scoring the way I was supposed to." EQUESTRIAN It came down to the last rider in the show jumping team competition. Unfortunately for the U.S. team, that rider was the world's best — Germany's Ludger Beerbaum. Led by Beer- baum, who won individual gold at the 1992 Games, Germany won the team event with only 1.75 time faults. The United States won the silver medal with 12 faults and Brazil took the bronze with 17.25. SOCCER [WOMEN] The United States won the first Olympic women's title with a 2-1 victory over China. Goals by Shannon MacMillan in the 19th minute and Tiffeny Milbrett in the 62nd clinched it. The victory ended a yearlong journey for the American women, who lost tneir World Cup title to Norway in 1995. They pointed toward the Olympics for their vindication, and got it by beating Norway in the semifinals, then downed the Chinese for the second time in the tourna­ ment. The bronze medal went to Norway, which downed Brazil 2-0. TENNIS Andre Agassi advanced to the final of his first Olympics, erasing two set points in the opening set and beating Leander Paes of India 7-6 (7-5), 6-3. Agassi will go for the gold Saturday against Spaniard Sergi Bruguera, who beat Fernando Meligeni of Brazil 7-6 (11-9), 6-2. VOLLEYBALL The U.S. women's team beat Germany 17-16, 15-6, 5-15, 15-6 to finish seventh. Most of the players then tossed their jerseys into the appre­ ciative crowd. "I wanted to leave some type of memento, and I've always had it planned that if we won a gold medal I'd throw my jersey," said Caren Kemner, a three-time Olympian. "I just wanted to take an extra moment just to listen to the crowd scream and say goodbye in my way." China moved within one victory of claiming its second gold medal, beating Russia 12-15,15- 5, 15-8, 15-12 in the semifinals. The Chinese will play the winner of the Brazil-Cuba semifinal for the gold. WRESTLING (FREESTYLE) Bruce Baumgartner, seeking his third gold medal, lost 6-1 to Russia's Andrei Shumilin in a second-round 286-pound match. Baumgartner can wrestle back and win a bronze medal but is assured of his worst finish in an Olympics. He has won two golds and a silver. Americans Kenny Monday (163 pounds) and Tom Brands (136 1/2) won tneir first two match­ es. American Lou Rosselli, still in contention for a bronze medal, was forced to drop out with a frac­ tured right elbow. Rosselli was injured in a 4-2 consolation round victory over Constantin Cor- duneanu of Romania at 114 1/2 pounds.

This highly anticipated screen a d a p ta tio n of Irv in e W e lsh 's novel is a bold, kinetic, exhilarat­ ing ride. An entertaining and har­ rowing look into the lives of Scot­ tish heroin addicts, Trainspotting has been the object of much hype since its ra p tu ro u s recep tion at the C annes film festival. It lives u p to th a t h y p e th a n k s to the dynam ite team of director Danny Boyle, screenw riter John H odge, and producer Andrew Macdonald (the team th at m ade last, y ea r's slick Shallow Grave). T he film is n a r ra te d b y the n ih ilis tic M ark R en to n , w ho begins w ith a m ission statem ent of sorts: "I chose not to choose life. I chose som ething else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've g o t h e ro in ? " T h is d is tu rb in g , dynamic message sets the tone for a s e rie s of lo o se ly o rg a n iz e d vignettes, at first hum orous and eventually serious. The p lo t loo ks at first like a vicious circle, just a series of Ren­ ton's failed attem pts to clean up, b u t th ere's m ore to it than that. Like Shallow Grave, this film deals w ith loyalty and betrayal am ong friends. But it also addresses the issue of d irec tio n in life. E w an M cG regor, w ho also sta rre d in Shallow Grave, is fully believable in the rollercoaster role of Renton. The suspense of the movie lies in the question of w hether R enton w ill look at his life critically or not. D ire c to r D a n n y Boyle once again m akes po w erfu l'úse of the visual m edium . Among the best moments of the film are the surre­ al sequences desig n ed to evoke th e h ig h s a n d low s of h e ro in abuse. It is essential that we relate to the characters despite their nega­ tive qualities. The inability of the audience to em pathize w ith any of the irredeem ably nasty heroes of Shallow Grave turned many off to the movie. But here Boyle uses simple but effective techniques to m m a p m m Starring: Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Johnny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle Director: Danny Boyle Playing at; Village Cinema Art Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five) draw us into Renton's world. One obvious questio n peop le w ill ask a b o u t T rainspotting is w hether the film glamorizes hero­ in abuse. The answ er is a quali­ fied "no." W hile Trainspotting m akes no secret of the pleasurable aspect of heroin, it is at least as expressive of the dow n side. One character comes perilously close to death as a result of an overdose, anoth er character loses all control over his life after tu rn in g to heroin, an d there is a w ithdraw al scene th at should shake up even bona fide addicts. A couple of warnings are called for. First of all, don't be fooled by the commercials. Most of what is shown is from the m ost comical p art of the m ovie, the first h alf hour. Granted, this part is raucous and outrageous, abundant in toi­ let h u m o r (literally) an d sexual m is a d v e n tu re . w h ile Trainspotting is a comedy by defi­ n itio n , it is h a rd ly a c a re fre e ro m p . T he p lo t ta k e s a m u ch darker turn around the halfw ay p o in t as it b eg in s to deal w ith more serious aspects of the char­ acters' irresponsibility. B ut Secondly, if you are squeamish, you sh o u ld se rio u sly c o n sid e r your ability to handle the subject m atter of this film. Trainspotting delivers all kinds of g o o d s w ith o u t really fittin g into any one category. It is a great movie because it covers so m uch so well. It m ay well be a classic because it so definitively captures one segm ent of*society.

Catch their next Austin show, because it will also be their last. Ed Hall, seen here at Liberty Lunch way back in 92, is calling it quits. This Saturday, Ed Hall’s last hurrah JOHN F O X W O R T H /D aily T ex an Staff JOE SEBASTIAN Daily Texan Staff W hat is it about late sum m er that seem s to drive bands in Austin into oblivion? It's rapidly becoming some sick, twisted tradition for a hand­ ful of A ustin's best bands to pack it in before school starts, leaving behind only m uttered curs­ es about fate and other less polite things in their wake. In 94, johnboy and the C herubs w aved goodbye, and though sum m er '95 was less harsh, '96 is making up for it with a vengeance — Gut, the A ndrom eda Strain, Sweetpea, and now Ed Hall are all going the way of the m astodon (Not a bad analogy, considering the way all of the above mauled people's conceptions about punk rock). Of c o u rse th e re are re a so n s — Ed H a ll's longest-standing member Larry Straub is moving to Thailand, and the cost of on-line band practice is a bit high as yet. Therefore, sadly, the band will be playing their last U.S. show on Saturday at Emo's, something fans have had months to moan about. "Lyman and I didn't want it to be the last show eith er/' says guitarist Gary Chester, "but Larry has been in the band a lot longer than we have, so we didn't want to continue the band without him. "He and two other guys started the band in 1984 as a sort of punk rock experiment. I moved into the band in 1986, and afte r ab o u t three months we started writing music. And now, ten years later, the planets are in the proper align­ ment, and it's time for Ed Hall to go away." The band will leave quite a legacy. In addition to m em o ries of n a rc o tic s-e n h a n c e d d ay -g lo show s an d skew ed takes on w h at real songs should be written about, Ed Hall also leaves five live music HI HALL Featuring: Sangre de Toro, Myra Manes At: Emo’s, 603 Red River St. Date: Saturday Time: 7 p.m. _ _ _ T . albums (soon to be six) for those who need their Ed Hall night long. The first two (Albert and Love Poke Here) were on the tiny Northwestern label Boner, though the band returned to its native Austin as soon as a local label w ith the balls to release som ething that was then so gauche came along. Ed H all's following three album s on Trance Syndicate not only further un h in g ed its p unk rock, spinning it into even darker holes of the mind, but it also became a mainstay of the label to this day. Say "Trance Syndicate" in Akron, Ohio (or San Francisco, or Tokyo) and people are likely to think "Ed Hall." "W e've been working on our last record," says Chester. "It will be out in the near-future. W e're trying to get the work on that out of the way. "We m ight call the album Leblanc — like the Beatles White Album, ya' know, the 'last' album, even though the band still did album s after it. Plus o u r first album w as called A rthur, afte r Arthur Leblanc, so that might work. It s an extension of what w e've been doing on the last album s, though it'll be a bit different. We'll have some new types of instrum entation, and we might add som e Thinking Fellers-type SOUND BITES stuff to it. W e're m oving out o f La-La-Land and into Thailand," says Chester, w ith his usual witty cynicism "A ctually, L a fa y e tte , La., is La-La- Land. We just figured that out." Of course, the end of Ed H a ll isn 't going to mean the end of Larry, Gary a n d Lym an — okay, well, m aybe Larry. But G ary still has his side- g ro u p (" b a n d " m ay n o t be th e p ro p e r term ) Moist Fist, and Lyman is still in the Going Along Feelin' Just Fine. The tw o h a v e o th e r plans as well. "W e'll p ro b a b ly h a v e s o m e m o re fantasy bands, and another reality b a n d as well. We're also working on a TV show, w hich is going to be called Search for the M anchester Beat. The first episode is going to be Women o f the Tamale House. T he reality band is going to be m e and Lyman and some other people, and a m ystery bass play­ er. The next fantasy band is g o in g to be 'Dark H a w aiian .' It's going to be a lu a u band, and we re all going to play in w 'o o d en masks. We might even throw some virgins on the fire. The reality band, though, w e're still w orking on. It'll prob ab ly have fo u r to sev e n p e o p le in it. Of course, how m any people y o u can have in the band d e p e n d s o n how m a n y p e o p le you can have in the van." Despite w hatever trepidation the band might have about their last A m erican sh o w (they've still got four in G erm any a fte rw a rd s, the bas­ tards), things haven't been all bad. "The A u stin show s h o u ld b e p re tty good. We've had all these girls com ing u p and saying they want to come to the show an d paint up and dance around naked," says C hester. "Maybe we should have th o u g h t of this soon­ er."

Listening to Liquid in a m ore im patient or critical mood m ight find one noticing a certain plodding or predictable turn to the chord changes. In contrast, a won­ derful cover of Never My Love clos­ es the album out with an easy and lilting grace.

T ro u t's sim p le a n d fun-loving approach m ust also be credited for generating Murrell’s, a bright blues num ber that is the best song on the album.
