"There is a personnel shortfall that we've been wrestling with," Gen. Eric Shinseki, the Army chief of staff, said. He said he may have to ask Congress to authorize more troops. But first, he said he wants to fill holes in the 10 active-duty combat divisions and get Army recruiting back on Wack. Shinseki confirmed that the com­ manders of two divisions — the 10th M ountain D ivision, based at Fort Drum, N.Y., and the 1st Infantry Divi­ sion, based in Germany — rated their units "C-4," the lowest of four grades of readiness in October. The rating means that in a worst- case scenario of one major war break­ ing out alm ost im m ed iately after an o th er in sep arate p arts of the world, these divisions could not get their troops to the fight in the time prescribed by the Defense D epart­ ment's war plan. Shinseki said the problem lies not with the quality or amount of equip­ ment in these divisions or troop train­ ing. Rather, it is the unusual makeup of these two divisions, each of which has about half its troops on peace­ keeping duty in the Balkans — the 10th Mountain in Bosnia and the 1st Infantry in Kosovo. The peacekeepers are not counted as war-ready while they are in the Balkans. In a two-war scenario, the peace­ keeping troops in Kosovo and Bosnia could not quickly extract themselves and their equipment, return to their home bases, retrain and then ship off to a major war in the allotted time, Shinseki said. Asked it this bothered him, he said, "Sure, anytime a division commander reports C-4 we are concerned." He said, "W eil see what corrections need to h ap p en ." O ne change alread y under way, Shinseki said, is a greater reliance on N ational G uard and Army Reserve troops in Bosnia and Kosovo. The Washington Post first disclosed the classified assessment of the two d iv isio n s' read in ess ratings. The newspaper reported Wednesday that the íowering of the ratings stunned senior Pentagon civilians and mem­ bers of Congress, who were informed of the monthly ratings v\ ithni the past week. Some Pentagon officials reportedly portrayed the evaluation as an effort by the Arm y to lobby for m ore money. The poor ratings reinforce the argu­ ments of congressional Republicans who contend the Clinton administra­ tion is spending too little on the mili­ tary and committing U.S forces to too many missions. Barak removes Jewish settlers from West Bank camp Associated Press JERUSALEM — Forced to choose between Jewish settlers and Palestinian demands, Prime Minister Ehud Barak kept Israel's commitment to the Pales­ tinians Wednesday, approving a troop pullback from 5 percent of the West Bank and sending soldiers to drag Jews off an illegal hilltop encampment. The land handover, to take place Monday, will leave a smattering of West Bank settlements isolated and surrounded by Palestinian-controlled temtory — setting the stage for more tensions. Barak has spent his four months in office making good on promises to revive the peace process, while reassur­ ing Jewish settlers that he sympathizes with their mission to reclaim biblical lands. Palestinian and Jewish settler claims to the same rocky hills seemed increas­ ingly irreconcilable, however, and scenes televised Wednesday of soldiers holding red-faced settlers in headlocks could be a glimpse into the future. Soldiers moved in on Havat Maon as light crept from Israel's coast over its plains and up the West Bank's layered hills. Settlers climbed on rooftops, clung to door frames and flung them­ selves to the ground, making it harder for the unarmed troops to forcibly evacuate them. "We'll be back!" the settlers shouted as they were driven away in buses. The strongest resistance came from settlers holed up in a makeshift wood­ en synagogue. "Refuse orders," they chanted as soldiers broke through the door. Havat Maon is one of 42 outposts set up over the past year to stake a claim to as much West Bank land as possible — and prevent the territory from being handed over to the Palestinians as part of peace negotiations. Barak's prede­ cessor, Benjamin Netanyahu, didn't challenge the unauthorized settle­ ments, but Barak has tried to limit their construction. Under a deal with Barak, the settlers movement had agreed to leave 12 sites voluntarily, including Havat Maon, in exchange for government approval of the other 30. But a renegade settlers group, "Young Generation," rejected the com­ promise. In recent days, members have carpeted the hilltop with sleeping bags, reinforced caravans with cement and rolled boulders into the road. Heated confrontations with settlers plagued the government of Yitzhak Rabin — the man Barak describes as his m entor — and cam e to a head when a settler sympathizer murdered Rabin in 1995. The violence made pur­ suing peace w ith the Palestinians alm ost im possible and Barak has doggedly pursued consensus That may now be impossible, and he appeared to be retreating into the con- frontationist rhetoric that characterized Rabin's prickly relations with the set­ tlers. Barak told Cabinet ministers evicting the settlers was a "com plex test o' democracy," according to a statement by his office. "No one from Maon will teach me love of the land of Israel," Israel televi­ sion quoted Barak as saying. Leaders of the established settlers movement, feanng a further erosion in support for their cause, rushed W ednesday to distance themselves from the renegades. "This was a group of youths, not the entire settler m ovem ent," Yitzhak Levy, Barak's housing minister and the leader of the settler's political patron, the National Religious Party', told Israel television. "This evacuation last night was not a signal of anything." "There was some possibility of a better result at tnal We're very disappoint­ ed," attorney Rich Mullen said. After being expelled from school for having a stolen gun in his locker, Kinkel killed his parents at their home on May 20, 1998. The next day he donned a trench coat and drove to school with three guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition and opened fire on the packed cafeteria. Mikael Nickolauson and Ben Walker were killed. Kinkel later told doctors he had been hearing voices telling him to kill since he was 12. Experts testified he was psy­ chotic, probably paranoid schizo­ phrenic, and deeply’ depressed. Kinkel pleaded guilty in September and agreed at the time to serve at least 25 years in prison, plus whatever the judge might add. The judge crafted a combination of concurrent and consec­ utive sentences that added up to 112 years. Prosecutors discounted the effects or mental illness, saying that Kinkel had spoken often to his friends about taking a gun to school and that he had been nasty' and violent since he was a little boy. Kinkel, 17, sentenced to 112 years for murdering parents, peers Israeli military police forcibly remove a Jewish settler from the West Bank rogue outpost of Havat Maon, south of Hebron Wednesday. The confrontation at Ha vat Maon was one of the most dramatic between settlers and the government since 1962, when Israel lev­ eled the Yamit settlement in the Sinai Peninsula as part of its peace treaty with Egypt The eviction was followed by the Cabinet's 17-1 vote to approve next week's Israeli troop withdrawal. AP photo Associated Press EUGENE, Ore. — Kip Kinkel, the 17- year-old who filled his journal with rage, self-loathing and fantasies of vio­ lence, was sentenced to 112 years in prison Wednesday for gunrung down his parents and going on a rampage in his high school cafeteria that left two students dead. Kinkel will not be entitled to parole, meaning that unless the governor com­ mutes his sentence, he will die behind bars for the attack at Thurston High School in Springfield. After hearing days of wrenching statements from victims' relatives and many of the 25 people wounded, Judge Jack Mattison said it was more impor­ tant to make the victims feel safe than to try to rehabilitate Kinkel. Before the sentence was issued, Kinkel read an apology from a small sheet of white paper. "I absolutely loved my parents and had no reason to kill them. I had no rea­ son to dislike or try to kill anyone at Thurston. I am truly sorry for all of th is," he said. "T hese events have pulled me to a state of deterioration and self-loathing that I didn't know exist­ ed." He stood with his hands clasped m front of him as the ]udge gave him what amounts to a life sentence. Kinkel was 15 when he went on the shooting spree in May 1998 and therefore ineligi­ ble for the death penalty. Many victims said they were satis­ fied with the sentence and hoped some­ day to get on with their lives. "1 am so glad Kip Kinkel will be put behind the bars," said Teresa Milton- berger, who was shot in the head. "If he wasn't, I wouldn't feel safe." Kinkel's attorneys said the sentence is too harsh, and they plan to appeal NEWS BRIEFS Plane crash leaves 18 dead in Mexico T Z A R A R A C U A , Me xi co — In sp e cto rs ex am in ed the flig h t recorders found Wednesday in the w reck ag e o f a D C -9 je tlin e r that crashed shortly after taking off for Mexico City, killing all 18 people on board. Scores of federal aviation investi­ gato rs picked throu gh chu nks of metal, scraps of clothing and paper scattered across an avocado orchard near the tow n that is 3 1 / 2 m iles southwest of the airport, from which the Taesa plane had taken off.

After stopping in G u ad a lajara and U ru ap an , an av o ca d o -g ro w in g city of 250,000 people, it had only 13 passengers and five crew members aboard as it headed to Mexico City, 180 miles to the east. NATO reports nearly 400 Kosovars have died PRISTINA, Yugoslavia — Nearly 400 people have been murdered in Kosovo since NATO troops estab­ lished control over the province, and a disproportionate number of them w ere S erb s, a cco rd in g to fig u res released today by NATO officials. O f the 379 people murdered, 135 were Serbs, 145 were Albanians and the rest w ere of unknown or other ethnic origins, Maj. Ole Irgens said. But the numbers must be seen in the context of the dw indling Serb and m ajority A lbanian popu lations in Kosovo. While no recent census figures are available, Kosovo's Albanian popu­ lation was nearing 2 million before they were temporarily pushed out by the Serbs this spring. The Serbs, originally num bering abou t 200 ,00 0, h ave been fleein g attacks by Kosovar Albanians seek­ ing revenge for the earlier Serb crack­ down that left 10,000 people dead. Today, the Serb population in Koso­ vo is thought to be only in the tens of thousands. The homicide figures appeared to support fears that Serbs were facing large-scale attacks based on their eth­ nicity. — C o m p ile d fro m A s s o c ia te d P re ss reports NEWS AMERICA MARKETING A N ftts C o r p o r a t io n C o m p a n y G reat Career / Opportunities in Sales and Marketing 'vV: 4 a Ufe; *4? ¿tut * % * p k brands Tonight 6:00 p.m . - 8:00 p.m. A lum ni C enter, Now otny Room All Majors W elcom e • 3.0 M inimum GPA Refreshments W ill Be Served s in g le -s o u rc e marketing services R u s s e l l K o r m a n J E W E L R Y S I N C E 1 9 7 3 451-9292 3 8 0 6 N.

Chillin' on the Main Mall and listening to Ton Loc while sipping on lemonade could be called an ideal afternoon, but calling such an event a student service is definitely a stretch. But, according to the Student Serv ices Fee committee, for the last three years 40 Acres fest qualifies as a student serv ice — along the same lines as campus entities like the UT Shuttle Bus, Recreational Sports, The Daily Texan and the Multicultur­ al Information Center. Tossed in the midst of those ongoing student services are Texas Revue, the UT Forensics Team and 40 Acres Fest. While all worthy causes, they are hardly student services. Placing two annual events and a student organization on the same par with shuttle buses, Recre­ ational Sports and Student Legal Services, which provide services to students all year long, is an abuse of our mandatory fees. These groups have com e to depend on the money allocated to them by the fee committee in recent years. However, ifis time to wean them from the bottle. Each of these groups could gam er enough support and money from other areas of campus and the Austin community to maintain successful programs. For exam­ ple, the Dean of Students Office and the Texas Union Council Co-Sponsorship Board specifically aim to aid student groups undertaking such projects. Student organizers of 40 Acres, Texas Revue and the Forensics Team have a solid reputation, making it easy for them to seek sponsorship from a source besides students. As fees rise across campus, the Student Services Fee committee should be cau­ tious to allocate students' money wisely — on true student services. D ea d H orse For those of you w h o suffered through last night's affirm ative action debate at the LBJ auditorium , rest assured that your intellectual develop­ m ent probably could have been better served staying at hom e, ordering a pizza and w atching The Real World. The distinguished panel, consisting of UT Law Professor Lino G raglia, Texas A C LU D irector Jay Jacobson, Form er A ttorney General D an M orales, and Texas N A A C P President G ary Bledsoe said absolutely nothing new. W orse yet, they even seem ed to bore an audience full of ARO C activists, except for G raglia's occasional bouts of racially insensitive hum or. G ranted, if you w ere looking for an evening of fun, perhaps attending the discussion w asn 't the best m ove. But judging from the poor quality of d ia­ logue betw een individuals w ho are supposed to be the state's leading experts on the issue, it is clear these so-called "ratio nal d ebates" the U ni­ versity holds every sem ester are quickly degenerating into a farce. Take, for exam ple, Form er A ttorney General Dan M orales. O nce upon a tim e (m ore like three years ago), M orales spoke candidly on affirm ative action, both from the podium and in his rulings — quite a contrast to the man w ho sat on the panel last night. W atching M orales dance around the issue last night was painful. By our count, he failed to directly answ er any of the 13 questions posed to him . A potted plant — a dead potted plant — would have been m ore stim ulating to watch. Then, of course, there was Lino G raglia, who tw o years ago m anaged to offend thousands of A m ericans by claim ing that blacks and H ispanics were culturally predisposed tow ards academ ic failure. Apparently, he m isses the spotlight. At one point in the evening, G raglia seem ed to take pleasure in proclaim ing that he thought there were few er than 16 black students nation­ w ide fit to attend Ivy League law schools. Looking like a politician grasping for a sound byte, G rag lia's insight into affirm ative action has sunk to levels befitting Jerry Springer. Last night's debacle dem onstrated w ith a painful clarity that the time for public debate on the m erits of Affirm ative A ction has passed. The real issue, and the only one w orthy of our resources, is finding a w ay for ou r courts to abandon their reticence and definitively resolve this conflict. "They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the, next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, except for the Nokia cell phone in every7 hand?" This may be how statesm an Patrick Henry might have amended his historic speech after w itnessing m odern-day life. The threat of British injustice long gone, Henry would have seen Am erica's next cause for alarm: the m enace of mobile telephony. Mobile telephones are ubiquitous in the United States. Stop at any airport, drive on any highway, take a class at any university and you're bound to run into som eone jabbering on a cellular phone. Am erica has 80 million of them already. The good news is that the proliferation rate in the United States, is among the slow est in the industrial world. You can thank the red-blooded patriots in Am eri­ can telecom munications com panies who stem the tide of cell phones by m aintaining reprehensible service, pushing "ro a m in g " charges past the stratosphere and ensuring that their digital net­ work stays analog. At first these little phones are but a nuisance. They interrupt fam ily gatherings, disrupt lectures, disturb perform ances and generally get in the way of norm al life to the point that you can't walk peacefully down the street without bum ping into som eone who appears to be having a loud conver­ sation with himself. Cell phone users force others around them to slink away, just as they force other drivers on the road to change lanes when they reck- M a r c D u c h e n T e x a n C o l u m n is t lessly tear dow n the street (several nations have already banned drivers from using them). But as annoying as they might be to those around them, mobile phones are far worse for the actual user. See anyone answer one of them around an audience and notice the arrogant smirk that m ani­ fests itself on the user's face. It's a sim ple display of power — this person is far superior to the peons around him because not only is he a portable phone booth, able to place a call to w hom ever he wishes from wherever he is, he receives calls that onlook­ ers are deprived of (quite ignoring that he is but a slave to answering the ringing phone). Anne Taylor Fleming, an essayist on The New- sH our with Jim Lehrer, best describes the hollow existential validation mobile phones provide. "A ll you need is a public place and a cellular telephone, and you can be center stage, living one of your life's little or big dram as out loud for all the rest of us to overhear," she explains. '"L o ok at m e / the caller says. I'm som ebody. I can't even wait to get back to the office or to a pay phone. I have to m ake this call right now. I am needed. I am important. Just listen. My friends love me. M y kids need me. My boss can't breathe w ithout me. I m atter.'" Forget Sartre and de Beauvior — cell-phones are the existential penicillin of the '90s. NAOIAI vaIo l f a s w y m i6 mly e n d Consultant', d o y o u t h i m k y o u c a n G e t hiwv u p a n d g o in g fo p aae ? c y sT' t K w ^ , But even while serving as an existentialist salve to weak m inds, cell phones are probably m elting them at the very same time. Research done at W ashington University in Seattle, at the Royal A de­ laide hospital in Australia and at the National Insti­ tute of W orking Life in Um ea, Sweden, reveals health problem s — typically cancer-like effects — caused by cellular phones. Though other scientists are having trouble repli­ cating some of these studies, the cause for concern still looms. Another Am erican public health scien­ tist, George Carlo, had his funding cut by the C el­ lular Telecom m unications Industry A ssociation when his research showed that cell phones inter­ fered with pacem akers. W hen his research eventu­ ally resumed he found that the risk of neuro-epithe- lial tumors doubled in cell-phone users. It m ight be a fitting punishm ent for the annoyance the cell phones inflict except that the cell-phone users are oblivious to the dangers their phones pose. The next time you interrupt your class, excuse yourself from a meeting, or irritate those around you because you "h ave to take this call," recall H en­ ry's words: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?" Then take your phone, throw off your cellular m as­ ters, and proceed to crush the little gizm o under­ foot. Duchen is a government/English senior .

Recently, the University has been absorbed with talk of student fees. Such a heightened sensitivity to fees has given us an aversion to necessary fees. Necessary implies that if the fee did not exist a sig­ nificant number of essential student services would be greatly dim inished. The University Health C en­ ter fee falls under this "n ecessary" category, and now there is a need to alter it. Have you ever visited University Health Services (UHS) for a doctor's visit, gotten a flu vaccination, used the Nurse Advice Line or taken a class on sex­ ual health? Even for those students that have never set foot in the Student Services Building, w here U H S is located, UH S does a rem arkable job of keep­ ing the cam pus healthy. O ver the past tw o years, staff at UH S has encountered cases of active tuber­ culosis, hepatitis A and stud ents exposed to meningococcal disease. In addition to treating these highly contagious conditions, U H S contacted every student that had possibly been exposed and moni­ tored the health of those students. The only funding received by UH S com es from the students. The Medical Services Fee (M SF) is cur­ rently at $55 — the m axim um am ount that can be charged per student. This cap was set in 1994 by the Texas Legislature. O ver the years, the initial am ount has raised an average of $1.71 per year to finally reach the cap of $55 in 1998. There is now an B r ia n E l b e l & S h e il a G u p t a G u e s t C o l u m n is t s urgent need to raise the cap (i.e. the am ount the fee cannot go above) to $75. Increasing the cap does NOT increase the fee to this amount. U H S presents its request for a fee increase to the M edical Services Fee Com m ittee. This is a board com prised prim ari­ ly of students who decide whether the request for a fee increase will be granted, partially granted or denied. So, you m ay be asking yourself why w e need to increase this fee cap. One reason is that medical supplies and salaries increase at a rate greater than other goods and services. Next year, the cost to pro­ vide tne sam e services will be more than they are now. Also im portant to note is the fact that any uni­ versity-mandated salary increases for staff must be covered by UHS, and therefore must be covered by the M edical Services Fee. Secondly, the increase is necessary to m aintain affordability for the lower-to- moderate incom e students. W ithout the fee cap increase, there may be additional or higher charges for lab work, radiology, physical therapy, etc. Stu­ dents on Financial Aid will have any fee increase sanctioned by the M edical Services Fee Com m ittee covered. How ever, if they have to pay $10, which is now covered by the Medical Sen 'ices Fee, every time they see a doctor then that would be an out-of- pocket expense. Thirdly, an increase in the fee cap w ould allow UHS to continue to carry out their public health mission as highlighted by the infec­ tious disease cases mentioned above. Does this not sound like a necessity? N o matter what the truth, it seems that any un i­ versity-based health care service will be given a bad rap. However, UH S has an im peccable nursing and physician staff, along with a very receptive adm in­ istration that puts the needs of the student first. Contrary to what you may hear, the student body is happy with the serv ices at UHS. In multiple sur­ veys of U H S patients, UH S was given an "A " rat­ ing overall, and 95 percent of UHS users said they w ould recomm end UH S to a friend. Check out the results, analyzed by ACITS, at www .utexas.edu/stu- dei i t/heal th/referend um. It is essential that students make their voices heard to ensure the same quality of health care we have now is available in the future.

I was just thinking the other day that w hat I really needed was one more person to try and deny a w om an her constitutional and hum an right to safe medical care, not to mention the right to choose. Moreover, urging your "brethren" to vote against the referen­ dum on the basis of your inane "abortafacient" argum ent also denies every guy on cam pus their right to effectiv e medical services.

If you had stepped out of your extrem ist bubble to attend one of the inform ation classes at University Health Ser­ vices that are mandatory for women who want to start using birth control, you might have picked up a few facts, the most important being that the UHS W om en's Center stresses abstinence as the first and best form of birth control. H ere's another tip: birth control like the pill, N or­ plant, and Depo-Provera are used to prevent abor­ tions. Are you sure you're a Plan II major? Raising the fee cap is clearly not your main peeve. By blatantly ignoring the many other ser­ vices and care U H S offers to students, and thor­ oughly m isrepresenting those it does with religious sem antics, you affront the university com m unity as a whole. Anna Bell T. Farrar Government junior Transfer advising not to blame In an article in the Nov. 10 issue of The D aily Texan, UT transfer student Laquishia Batson stated that once they arrive at UT, transfer students lack information and advice about which classes to take. As an academ ic advisor who counsels num erous transfer students each semester, I have to take exception to her com ment. I'd wager that there are few four-year institutions that m ake as m uch degree information available, in printed and online materials and in the form of advising on campus, as UT Austin does. Texas college transfer equiva­ lences are online through the UT Adm issions W eb site; degree plans ana course planning aids are available through the specific colleges; and advi­ sors such as m yself are available to students often even prior to their acceptance to the University. W ithout a doubt, transfer students experience many challenges, and I applaud Dr. Ekland-O lson's com m itm ent to m aking tneir transition smoother. However, I would argue that it is not in the areas of advising and access to information w here such stu­ dents may falter. Jackie Dana Academic advisor, Department of Sociology Leave Speedway alone "W e want to make it a very warm and positive people space." These are the w ords of Austin Glee- son, who w as apparently taking him self seriously when he m ade tnis statement. And what are we to interpret from Rob A ddy's com m ents in yester­ day's editorial about the "throngs of suburbanites who pour into the university clinging to their cars like security blankets?" Huh? Apparently, in an attem pt to appear decisive, Rob A day w as also tak­ ing him self seriously when he supported the clos­ ing of Speedw ay despite a lack of any convincing arguments. I d on't understand where this initiative to close Speedw ay has come from. I am not aware of any tangible safety hazards that traf­ fic on this street creates. I walk up, dow n and across Speedw ay every day without any prob­ lem. An article in Friday's Texan reported that there w ere five traffic-related accidents on cam pus in 1997, but is not specific in m entioning if any of those five accidents occurred on Speedw ay. Even if any of these accidents did occur on Speed ­ way, that does not justify the inconvenience that closing this section of road will create. W hat about parking for G regory gym? How about Faculty parking? W hat about parking during the evening? Closing Speedw ay will only m ake the parking problem worse, and create more congestion on alternative routes. Crossing Speedw ay isn't difficult or unsafe. I promise. All you have to do is look both w ays before cro ssin g and it's easy to avoid all those b ig nasty cars that are flying by at all of five m iles an hour. Eric S.

He is also the author of To Boldly Go ... a Practical Career Guide For Young Sci­ entists. Fiske said he believes his sur­ vey is different from any other col­ lege survey because of its vast scope. "Past studies have focused on spe­ cific departm ents or disciplines, but th e p o w e r o f th e I n te r n e t h a s allow ed us to cro ss-co rrelate every departm ent to cover the entire spec­ tru m ," Fiske said.

"W ith the results of this survey, a student w ill be able to tell the com ­ puter what their highest priority is in their college search and find the col­ leges with the highest rates of satis­ faction in that area," said Cherw itz, a of professor com m unication studies.

"T h e changes the gradu­ ate school would have had to under­ go w ould have been negligible, but they were too busy until they had a body on their hands." Justin Laird, a graduate student in the College of Education, said he had heard about the Nov. 12 release of the su rv e y 's resu lts and looks fo r­ ward to attending the panel discus­ sion.

Like a giant battery, the whole universe is running down. It is abundantly clear that the cosmos cannot sustain itself forever. Therefore, it is most intelligent and reasonable for us to believe that the universe was created by the eternal being that is God. Are you interested in getting to know G od ? He loves all persons. He loves you and me. Almost 2000 years ago, he sent his son Jesus Christ into the world to die on the cross for our wrongdoings and sins and re­ turn to life through the miracle of the resurrection. God’s plan for each of us is that we turn away from our sins and believe in Christ. When we do this, God forgives us and gives us fellowship and eternal life with himself. You can be­ come a Christian right now wherever you are Tell God that you are sorry for your sins and that you here and now accept Christ as your Savior and Lord A s soon as you have received Christ, you may be sure that he has forgiven you of every sin and has given you e te r n a l life You may be sure that God will lead you by his spirit in the way that is good and nght. Make fnends with other Christians. Meet with them for worship, prayer, and Bible study. Make a habit of reading the Bible. Start with the gospel of John. And may God bless you!

Bush on W e d n e sd a y opposed President Clinton's plans for hiring 100,000 teachers and endorsed the GOP minimum-wage increase. Bush entered the fiscal fray at a news conference in South Carolina before flying to New Hampshire to formally register as a presidential candidate. New Hampshire will con­ duct the nation's first primary Feb. 1, followed just 18 days later by South Carolina. Under skies threatening rain, the tw o-term Texas governor walked with supporters to the state Capitol to make his candidacy official. "I'm in, and I'm honored to be in," Bush told New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner as he signed the neces­ sary p a p e rs and h a n d e d over his $1,000 check. Afterward, Bush defended himself against criticism for his decision to skip two debates and for not spend­ ing more time in the state. "What was important was not necessarily the fre­ quency of stops but the number of hands I was able to shake, the num­ ber of people I was able to see," he said. On the budget, Bush said he was tired of the "arguing and bickering" on Capitol Hill and said he would propose changing "the federal budget process from an annual review to an every-other-year procedure. "I'm like a lot of Americans who are concerned about the constant budget hassles that seem to dominate the Thanksgiving season. Maybe it7s now time for us to reform the budget process to avoid the annual budget showdown and have a biennial bud­ get," Bush said. With the president and Congress trying to wrap up this vearis negotia­ tions, Bush p ra ise d Republican efforts.

TX What a difference just one yard can make Four games into the season, H odges Mitchell had rushed for only 103 yards on 37 carries. He was in trouble of becoming only a third dow n back for the H orns and he knew it. "At that point, I thought I was probably going to have m ore receiving yards than I w ould rush­ ing yards," Mitchell said. The running back w asn 't kidding. Victor Ike had outrushed him by 73 yards in the first four games, and offensive coordinator Greg Davis was w orried that Mitchell w ouldn't get it going. "He w as running blind," Davis said. "He w asn't finding the holes and he had a Bull's eye on his chest that said hit me." The target got removed. Mitchell exploded for 188 yards in week five against Rice and he hasn't slowed dow n since. So w hat's the secret to his success? Just a yard. "We backed him up more so that he w ould have more vision to find the holes," Davis said. "He had been lining up seven yards from the line of scrim m age and now he is lining u p at eight yards back.

Reds’ McKeon NL’s top skipper Cincinatti manager awarded for turning small payroll into big results Associated Press Associated Press NEW YORK — Jack McKeon looked at Cincinnati's payroll. Then he looked at his roster. "We certainly showed them not so much the m oney factor is im portant in winning, b ut it's if you have the right players," he said W ednesday after he was voted National League Manager of the Year.

"I'd like to continue for four, five years at least. Maybe they w on't w ant me, but that's the w ay I feel." McKeon is a former m anager of Kansas City, O akland and San Diego and the former general m anager of the Padres.

"We w ere fortunate last year that w e had a lot of young guys w ho were hungry," McKeon said. "The w oods are full of one-year phenom s. We have to continue to do it." The Reds had the 20th-highest payroll at $38 million, and McKeon nearly got them into the postseason, the exclusive dom ain of the top-10 spenders. "I think one of his biggest strengths is that he just lets us go out an d perform ," second basem an Pokey Reese said. "We have a young team and a captain in Barry (Larkin) w ho leads by example. ... Jack just lets the coaches coach and the play­ ers play. "With a young team, you know you're going to have a lot of m is­ takes. In the gam e of baseball, you learn from your mistakes.

The W ildcats relied on some heavy hitting by D aw n Cady to keep the Texas offense off balance. The H orns found them selves in a 5-1 hole after a couple of hitting errors and two Cady kills quickly added up. Texas, however, battled back to even things up at six behind two consecutive Meggan Kohnen kills. Determ ined to keep the pressure on, Kansas State responded w ith a 7- 0 run to build their lead to 13-6 before Erin Aldrich could answ er with a pair of blocks and a kill to close Texas w ithin three at 13-10. The Longhorn rally w ould end there, however, as C ady put the H orns aw ay single handedly with another kill and an ace. Texas jum ped out to a quick 4-3 lead in the second, but w ould let the Wildcats back in the game and even­ tually run away with the game. Four Longhorn errors let the m om entum swing back into K-State's favor, and the Wildcats took advantage, piecing together a 12-0 run to put Texas in w hat w ould become an insurm ount­ able 2-0 lead. If the situation appeared bleak for the Longhorns at that point in time, it only got w orse in the third. Texas could not get anything going offen­ sively early on, and the W ildcats took advantage, jum ping out to an 11-3 lead before putting the hapless Horns aw ay 15-9. Texas was able to fight back dow n the stretch, but the combination of a dorm ant offense and an effective, if not gaudy, per­ formance by C ady and fellow o u t­ side hitter Liz Wegner proved to be too much. The Wildcat duo com ­ bined for over half of K-State's 51 kills and the H orns could get no closer than four points in the third and final frame. For the first time all season long, Texas failed to have a player with double-digit kills and the end result w as the team 's first 3-0 sw eep and a perform ance th at no one on the Longhorn sideline could be proud of. Texas now is an uncharacteristic 3-3 in their last six matches and in serious need of an answ er for their current slum p, w hich the K-State loss only intensified. "This certainly w asn't our best perform ance of the season, b u t Kansas State is a very, very good team and you have to be on your gam e to beat them ," said Moore. tOMO/iO/trl W4MT AOS ¿o worn, 8 oAys OfU-y $8.zo See d e t a i l s be lo w .

Griffey grew u p in Cincinnati, where his dad w as a star on the Big Red M achine of the 1970s and is cur­ rently a coach. The tw o played together in Seattle, where in 1990 they became the first father-son duo to start a gam e and to hom er in the same game. Bowden said the devel­ opm ents here d o n 't mean the Reds are out of the picture. "Things can change in a m onth or two m onths if they haven't traded him by then." Bowden m ade it clear how big it w ould be if the Reds were to get Griffey. "We'd love for him to come back home. His d a d 's o ur bench coach, he went to M oeller High School, his agent's a few miles from our stadi­ um ," Bowden said. "One of the big reasons we w ant Ken Griffey is not just he's the best position player in all baseball, but the fact w hat he can do for the city of Cincinnati. After w inning 96 games, you bring Griffey into the house, he m ight have the effect on Cincinnati that (Mark) McGwire had on St. Louis, or even more." Bowden d id n 't blame Gillick for setting a high price. "If I were in his position, I'd be asking for a lot, too. You're talking about Ken Griffey Jr. These kinds of trade of take time."

"Retirement is not a considera­ tion," Aikman said Wednesday. "It's not som ething I'm thinking about or even weighing as an option right now. I feel that in time I'll be fine and be able to resum e playing. I anticipate that will h ap p en very soon." Aikman, w ho has never missed a gam e because of a concussion, said it w ould be w rong for him to even speculate how long he'll be out. An MRI taken Tuesday came out fine and more tests are planned for later this week. "I'm hopeful that it will just be one game," he said. "But it's not som ething that I or our doctors w ant to rush." Time is w orking against the Cow­ boys. Dallas (4-4) plays three times in the next tw o weeks: Green Bay at hom e Sunday, the Cardinals in Ari­ zona the following Sunday and at hom e against Miami four days later on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys, w ho've lost four of their last five, also go into that stretch w ithout Em m itt Smith or Michael Irvin. Dallas hasn't- been w ithout all three since Smith was drafted in 1990. Smith had a plate and screws inserted into his right hand Tuesday to repair a broken bone. H e's still expected to be o u t 2-5 weeks. There's no telling w hen or if Irvin will return from a spinal cord injury. Aikman w as relaxed as he stood in front of his locker in his typical midw eek pose. Wearing a Cowboys cap turned backwards, gray w ork­ out shorts and a gray f-shirt, he stood with arm s crossed and leg bent. His tone was as confident as the week before w hen he discussed the im pact of a helm et-to-helm et hit from Indianapolis' Jeff Burris. That blow w asn't ruled a concussion, but Aikm an said W ednesday doctors now say it was. That diagnosis became obvious M onday night when a less-violent hit by M innesota's Jerry Ball left Aikm an feeling even w orse than the collision with Burris. "The headaches are probably about the same," said Aikman, w ho said he do esn 't rem em ber being sacked by Ball. "Some of the dizzi­ ness and uneasiness is som ething I d idn't experience last week." Despite suffering his seventh concussion in 11 seasons against Minnesota Monday, Dallas quarterback Troy Aikman said he has no immediate plans to retire. AP photo Holyfield, Lewis ready for Round 2 After controversial decision in March, fighters will enter ring again Saturday Associated Press LAS VEGAS — Judgm ent day aw aits Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield on Saturday, eight m onths after w hat Lewis and many in box­ ing believe w as a terrible misjudg- ment. "I thought the fight was close," Holyfield said. M ost everybody else thought Lewis won a decision in M adison Square G arden on March 13. The draw outraged fans and led to hear­ ings and photo-ops by assorted offi­ cials. Lewis, the WBC cham pion from Britain, is a 9-5 favorite to beat IBF- WBA cham pion Holyfield on Satur­ day night in the pay-per-view bout at Thomas & Mack Center. "I'm going to jump on this guy and show the people I did every­ thing said to w in," H olyfield Wednesday before the final news conference. "By people, I mean the judges." "Because I w on the first time, I'm more confident and I will take more chances," Lewis said. "I'm going to sway the judges to my side. I have confidence in the fight judges that nothing is going to go on ... but any­ thing is possible." Mitch H alpern has refereed more than 60 world title fights. Jerry Roth, Bill G raham and C huck G iam pa have judged more than 220 cham pi­ onship bouts. All are from Nevada and were appointed by the state ath­ letic commission. The judges in the first fight were Eugenia W illiams of N ew Jersey (115-113 for H olfyfield), Stanley Chistodoulou of South Africa (116- 113 for Lewis) and Larry O 'Connell of Britain (115-115). Williams was assigned by the IBF, C hristodolou by the WBA and O 'C onnell by the WBC. The AP card favored Lewis 117- 111. Holyfield (36-3-1, 25 knockouts) said a virus caused stom ach cramps on the w ay to the first fight and leg cram ps during the bout. "All I can say is Evander always makes excuses after a poor perfor­ mance," said the 34-year-old Lewis (34-1-1, 27 knockouts). "The first fight w ith me he couldn't figure out w hat was happening, and I don't think he'll figure me out the second time, either." "I step out of there with a draw and I went back to the draw ing board," said the 37-year-old Holy­ field, who predicted he w ould win the first fight on a th ird -ro u n d knockout. It rem ains to be seen w hether physical problem s or just age ham ­ pered H olyfield in M arch and w hether he can overcome the size disadvantage. The weigh-in is Thursday. Lewis, 6-foot 5-inch, weighed 246 pounds for the fight, 31 pounds more than the 6-foot 2 1/2-inch Holyfield.

The MP3 is the beginning of a techno­ logical revolution in which a new plateau of music is coming forth to alter what we know and use now in the sam e way as the CD changed our lives then. MP3 gives my gener­ ation and all others the opportunity to find those songs and musicians stuck playing over and over in our heads and combine them with gen­ res that reflect our varying musical tastes.

I think that music is one of the best ways to express yourself as an in dividual, either by playin g an instrument, singing or by listening to someone play an instrument or sing.

"The radio plays what they want you to hear," and that is not all the poin t of MP3.com or MP3's in general.

NTSB Chairman Jim Hkll, giving the first bits of information from die plane's flight data recorder, said that eight sec­ onds after the autopilot disconnected, the New York-to-Cairo flight "begins w hat appears to be a controlled d escent" from 33,000 feet to about 19,000 feet. The recorder stopped shortly after­ ward, and the final five to 10 seconds of information on its tape are still being analyzed by safety board technicians, Hall said. He dashed specu lation that the plane's initial plunge was caused by a problem with a thrust reverser — the cause of a 1991 crash of another Boeing 767 in Thailand. Thrust reversers are used to slow an airplane upon touchdown with the runway. One of EgyptAir's reversers was out of service at the time of the Oct. 31 crash. "T h ere is no evid ence of thrust reverser deployment in the data we have," Hall said. The tape could provide the best evi­ dence yet into what doomed the jet. Flight 990 took off early Halloween morning from New York's Kennedy International Airport, rising to 33,000 feet before plunging into the sea south of Nantucket Island, Mass., about 40 minutes after takeoff. All 217 people aboard were killed. Investigators have not ruled out any possible cause, including mechanical failure, human error, sabotage and ter­ rorism. The flight data recorder w as designed to capture over 150 types of information from 55 aircraft systems over a rolling 25-hour period. Among them were such things as the plane's altitude, speed, spin and roll, when electncal power was cut off, and how the autopilot functioned. Hall m ade his announcem ents moments after the safety board gave the public its first glimpse of the badly dented orange housing that contained the recorder, as well as the beige tape recorder itself. The u nit w as pulled out of the ocean Tuesday and flown im m edi­ a te ly to N T SB h e a d q u a r te r s in Washington for analysis. The recorder was still dripping sea w ater as o fficials from the board, flanked by Egyptian aviation officials and representatives of EgyptAir, held it up for photographers. Hall said the recorder showed that the plane did not hit supersonic speed in its initial descent. He did not comment on how the air­ plane behaved after a b rief clim b shown by radar data, or in its final plunge to the ocean, which also was tracked on radar. Hall also said the safety board was forming a com m ittee to review the flight recorder data, a routine action. He identified the participants as the NTSB, the Federal Aviation Adminis­ tration, Egyptian authonties, the Boeing Co., which made aircraft, and Pratt & Whitney, which made the two engines that powered it. Hall did not mention the FBI, which would likely be involved if analysts suspected that the recorder document­ ed any criminal activity. The agency continues to monitor the investigation. He said Navy salvage crews contin­ ued to search for the plane's second so- called black box, the cockpit voice recorder. S r E ?

O fficials said W ednesday there were fears not only for Clinton but also for members of his staff and the traveling press, who are not protect­ ed by the tight security bubble cover­ ing the president. The United States also expressed unhappiness about Greece's response to terrorism. A three-day visit to Athens was to lead off an 11-day trip also taking Clinton to Turkey, Italy and Bulgaria — and p e rh ap s K osovo. N ow , Greece will be wedged in between Turkey and Italy, and Clinton's stay will be cut to about a day. The White House said Greece had recommend­ ed the changes. "We have some concern on securi­ ty ," p re sid e n tia l sp o k esm an Joe Lockhart said. S ta te D ep a rtm en t sp ok esm an Jam es Rubin, discussing G reece's response to terrorism, said, "O bvi­ ously we are not satisfied. We think Obviously we are not satisfied. We think more needs to be done.” — James Rubin, State Department spokesman more needs to be done." Several recent attacks, including W ed n e sd ay 's fire b o m b in g of an A thens car dealership, have been linked to terrorist groups opposed to Clinton's visit. Security issues are always a major issue in p re sid e n tia l trav els but rarelv receive the prominence of this case or provoke such a public change in sched ule. Rubin d efend ed the handling of the situation. "It would be a grave erro r," he said, "to dismiss security concerns and then potentially have a disaster on our hands." In particular, the United States is unhappy about G reece's failure to crack down on the terrorist group "November 17," which has killed 21 people including four A m ericans since 1975. The name refers to a Nov. 17, 1973; crackdown on pro-democ­ racy students by the then-ruling mil­ itary regime. Traditionally there are big demonstrations to denounce the United States, which many Greeks believe supported the seven-year junta that collapsed in 1974. C o n cern s about C lin to n 's trip were heightened after the govern­ ment of Premier Costas Simitis said Lt would not block protesters from assembling outside the U.S. Embassy or the nearby concert hall w here Clinton was scheduled to make an address. G reece's Com m unity Partv said the d elay in C lin to n 's trip only "gives the opportunity to intensify" demonstrations. The president's truncated sched­ ule could be a political and diplo­ m atic h u m ilia tio n for G re e c e 's Socialist governm ent, which faces elections next year. The president still plan s to spend five d ays in T urkey, Greece's regional rival, for a state visit and a summit of the 55- country O rganization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Anti-American sentiment is strong in Greece. Many Greeks believe the United S tates, although a NATO partner, favors Turkey in territorial disputes and war-divided Cyprus Thousands of Greeks demonstrate d in Athens on M onday demand tffic that Clinton cancel his visit. Clinton, talking about his scaled- dow n sto p , said , "W h eth er the demonstrations had anything to do with it, I don't know. But they might have. But I'm not bothered about it. You know, it's going to happen [the dem onstrations], and you ail [the press] get to take pictures of it." The U.S.-led attacks on Yugoslavia significantly elevated Greek anger tow ard the U n ited S ta te s. M ost Greeks strongly opposed the bomb­ ings, fearing national borders in the Balkans could be at risk in future conflicts. Greeks also identify with fellow Christian Orthodox Serbs. Clinton acknowledged that many Greeks disagreed with U S policy tow ard K osovo and, b efo re that, Bosnia. And you know, I think we w ere rig h t, and I d isag ree w ith them ," he told r e p o r t e r s " But the fact that they have the right to free speech doesn't concern me." ■’■s o /■ .v save even more.

The outbreak was discovered in 1998, w h en one of the b o y 's guardians was treated for a painful hip that turned out to be a TB infec­ tion, researchers reported in Thurs­ day's New England Journal o f M edi­ cine. TB is co m m o n in the M arshall Islands, a U.S. trust territory mid­ w ay b e t w e e n H aw aii and A u s ­ tralia, but is rare in North Dakota. In the preceding five years, there had b ee n o n ly two ca s es in the rural two-county area around the boy's home. The medical journal did not iden­ tify the c o m m u n ity , b u t n e w s reports from the time said it was Lakota, a town of 900 about 140 miles from Bismarck. The extent of the outbreak and the fact that a stu­ dent had spread TB were known, t but other details — namely, that the student brought the tuberculo­ sis from the M arshall Islands — were not released then. The bo y was n o t ad o p ted but w as livin g w ith u n related legal guardians; officials would not give details because of privacy laws. He was 9 when he was diagnosed in 1998. The boy had been given a TB test s h o rtly afte r he arriv e d in th is country in 1996, but the test was less reliable than the newer Man- toux test. The 56 people he infected repre­ sented one-fifth of all the people who had spent time with him. They included three of the four people he lived with, 16 of his 24 class­ m ates and teachers, 10 of the 32 children who rode his school bus, and nine of the 61 ch ild re n and adults at a day care center. J u l ie F erry , the L a k o ta a r e a 's only full-time public health nurse, said she was on the phone all day with worried parents after students g ot the f ir s t n o tic e s a b o u t TB screening. "It created some panic because of the low incidence of tuberculosis aroun d h e r e ," she said. " P e o p le wanted to know how things were being handled, how do infectious diseases like TB get spread. Lots and lots of questions." Most people infected by tubercu­ losis do not get sick and cannot spread TB because the immune sys­ tem e n c lo s e s the g e rm s in hard shells. The disease can affect bones, the brain and other o rgans; it is spread when the germs get out of their shells, collect in the lungs and get coughed into the air.
