DEBORAH CANNON/Daily Texan Staff Budget nears completion as federal shutdown looms Associated Press WASHINGTON — With a potential federal default and government shutdown at stake, Congress toiled over a pair of budget bills Thursday and lurched ever closer to a jolt­ ing veto showdown with President Clinton. A day after the House approved legislation that would provide stopgap funds for government agencies through Dec. 1, the Senate adopted the measure by 50-46 after soft­ ening House-approved reins on lobbying by many federal­ ly aided private groups. The House voted 227-194 for another bill extending fed­ eral borrowing authority through Dec. 12. Capping a marathon day, the Senate approved that measure by 49-47, and shipped it back to the House after voting by voice to remove language killing the Commerce Department. The House was expected to accept the Senate version of both m easures and ship them to the White House on Friday. Administration officials pledged that both bills would meet vetoes at the White House because of unacceptable provisions, even though the government's abilities to bor­ row and spend lapse next week. That meant lawmakers would spend the next few days trying to determine how, if at all, to revise the bills so Clinton would sign them. Meanwhile, furious rhetoric from both sides almost overshadowed the day's legislative work. W hite H ouse spokesm an Mike M cCurry said that thanks to Republican intransigence, "default is increasingly likely." Bond prices drooped slightly. He added that "there are no chances at this point" to avoid federal agencies from having to halt some of their work next week. Leon Panetta, the White House chief of staff, likened the Republican strategy to putting "a gun to the head of the president," adding, "That's a form of terrorism. We are not going to accept that." Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin said he believed he had the authority to use money from some federal trust funds to keep the government functioning "for some period of time" that he declined to specify. But he still warned of the GOP borrowing extension legislation, "This legislation is not a debt ceiling increase, it is a shortcut to default.' The W hite H ouse opposes n u m ero u s p rovisions Republicans tucked into each bill, including abolition of the Commerce Department, and said they went too far in slashing spending and limiting the treasury's ability to maneuver through a borrow ing crisis. Republicans countered that the bills simply delivered down payments on their plans to balance the budget by 2002 by trimming government and overhauling Medicare Please see Budget, page 5 Officers’ group says Keel lied about ’93 caijacking’ SCOTT PATTERSON _______ Daily Texan Staff The president of a statewide law' en fo rcem en t officers g ro u p said T h u rsd a y th a t T ra v is C o u n ty Sheriff Terry Keel has violated his own policies about lying to the pub­ lic and should resign.

DeLord said Keel described "the after-hours traffic altercation" as an attempted carjacking "in an effort to make himself out to be a hero crime fighter." Keel did not return phone calls Thursday, but in a prepared strte- m ent he called the alleg atio n s a "sm ear tactic," and said DeLord, a Democrat, is "blatantlv partisan in his activities at CLEA" " Keel is the first Republican elect­ ed official in Tra is C ounty since Keei called the allega­ tions a “smear tactic,” and said DeLord, a Democrat, is “blatantly partisan in his activities at CLEAT.” Reconstruction. On the night of Jan. 13, 1993, Keel told Austin police he was driving west on Allandale Road, approach­ ing MoPac Expressway, when Larry Ruiz, 26, "pulled up alongside and started yelling and cussing" at Keel. Keel said Ruiz then pulled in front of Keel, cutting him off, and both drivers pulled into a convenience sto re p a rk in g lot at N o rth la n d Drive and MoPac Expressway.

Frat erni t y / Sorority _ — „— Though educators have long con­ sidered alcohol abuse one of the leading problem s on college cam­ p u ses, a s tu d y by th e H a rv a rd University School of Public Health reveals that an extraordinary num ­ ber of students drink too much. The study, completed in August, show s that 44 percent of college undergraduates are binge drinkers, and that this excessive alcohol con­ sumption can exacerbate other cam­ pus problems, including incidents of date rape and assault. While the statistics did not show binge-drinking problems on differ­ ent college campuses, "It confirms stuff we already know, and it con­ firms the goals of the programs we h av e alre a d y e s ta b lish e d ," said Debra Orrick, the coordinator of UT alcohol and d ru g education p ro ­ g ra m s for the S tu d e n t H ealth Center.

Weak HIV REMEMBRANCE may lead to vaccine Associated Press W A S H IN G T O N — A n A u s tra lia n w ith th e AIDS virus w ho u n k n ow in g ly infected th at c o u n try 's blood su p p ly 14 years ago has given scientists stro n g er evi­ dence that a live AIDS vaccine m ight work. The blood donor and six people infected by his plas­ m a h av e rem ain ed h ealth y lon g er th a n a d ecad e and even have norm al im m une system s because they have a genetically w eak strain of the AIDS virus, A ustralian sci­ entists report in Friday's edition of the journal Science. C oincidentally, the H IV infecting the A ustralians is alm ost identical to a m an m ad e strain U.S. researchers have developed as a possible AIDS vaccine — one m any scientists fear could be d eadly even though w eakened. Until now, only one other person in the w orld had been found living w ith w eak HIV. "T he A ustralians provide additional inform ation that these kin d s of strain s can be safe o v er the long ru n ," said Dr. Ronald Desrosiers of the N ew England Prim ate Research Center. He developed the potential vaccine. Dr. A nthony Fauci, chief of the N ational Institute of A llergy and Infectious Diseases, said, "T his ex trao rd i­ n ary ex p erim en t of n a tu re ... m akes you th in k again about the feasibility of a live atten u ated vaccine.

The A ustralians' HIV is m issing parts of a gene called nef. Scientists believe nef spurs HIV to reproduce franti­ cally until it overw helm s patients' im m une system s — and if nef d o esn't w ork right, im m une cells can control HIV just as they fight m ost viruses. "T h ese d a ta show th at su rv ival after HIV infection can be determ in ed by the HIV genom e," Deacon con­ cluded. But the findings do not affect m ost people living w ith HIV, Desrosiers cautioned. Only a very, very small per­ centage of the 17 m illion people infected w orldw ide stay healthy beyond a decade. K illed HIV v iru s is n 't s tro n g e n o u g h to use as an AIDS vaccine, and scientists fear a shot containing live but w eakened virus — the kind used for m ost diseases — could sicken people instead of preventing AIDS. T hree years ago, D esrosiers rem o v ed the entire nef gene from the m onkey version of HIV to create a pow er­ ful vaccine that protected adult monkeys. But develop­ m ent slow ed w hen other scientists discovered the shot infected baby monkeys.

O ne already had severe lupus and died of that disease in 1987. But the others have norm al im m une system s, no HIV sym ptom s and little v iru s in th eir blood, Deacon reported.

"Absolutely nothing," replied retired Gen. Vo N guyen Giap. Both sid e s a g re e th a t N o rth V ietn a m attacked a U.S. Navy ship in the gulf on Aug. 2 as it cruised close to shore.

Bravo for the regents. — Robert Rogers Jingo lingo House Speaker Newt Gingrich says that Q uebec's vote on seces­ sion from Canada is a warning to Americans about the dangers of bilingualism. “Allowing bilingualism to continue to grow is very dangerous," Gingrich said recently in Atlanta. To counter this, Gingrich touts legislation pending in Congress to make English the official U.S. language. Other languages should be secondary in U.S. schools, he added, and all American children should learn English as their primary language. Children in America should be taught English. In fact, they already are. Bilingual education doesn't mean that students whose native lan­ guage is, say, Spanish are taught throughout school in Spanish. Rather, they're taught in Spanish only until they've learned enough English to do well in English-only classes. The United States needs an officially designated language like a hog needs a sidesaddle. English is this country's "official" language by usage and custom. Nowhere in America (except in certain xenophobic minds) is there an effort to codify English as the official language In fact, ask any Spanish-speaking parent in Texas which is the greater danger: having a child who knows only Spanish, or having one who prefers English to the exclusion of Spanish. The latter prospect is not uncommon, yet the fprmer is all but unheard of. Put another way, this "problem " exists less in reality than in xenophobic rhetoric. Finally, the seemingly intractable social trauma in French-speaking Quebec isn't about "bilingualism ." It's about monoligualism. That is, it's about a culture yearning embodied in the desire of some French- speaking Quebecers to secede and form a Francophone nation within an English-speaking nation. To compare Quebec's unique situation to bilingualism in America is to com pare apples and naranjas. In any language, they're different. —Jason Kraus o Sole asylum If proposed changes to the Immigration Act become law, refugees will have to make a claim for political asylum within 30 days of arriving in the United States. At present, no time limit exists. To make a claim for asylum, an alien must establish that he is fleeing per­ secution in his home cpuntry on account of his race, religion, national­ ity, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. Time is not of the essence under current law. But that would change under the Smith Bill (H.R. 2202). Refugees upon arrival would have to request asylum, rather than asserting it once they've been apprehended as illegal immigrants. Seen from this perspective, the target of the law is obviously fraud. Yet seen from another, the proposed time limit would take advantage of the igno­ rance of most refugees, who believe what they hear about America being the land of the free. Very few Americans, let alone foreigners who neither understand the language nor the legal system, comprehend that certain legal hur­ dles must be jumped to obtain lawful admission to this country. And considering the nature of the typical refugee — someone fleeing injus­ tice — very few have the luxury of investigating the political vicissi­ tudes in American law. They are too busy running for their lives. Consequently, while eliminating fraud in the asylum process merits consideration, taking advantage of the ignorance of victims of perse­ cution hastening to these shores is a punitive, ineffective and misbe­ gotten means of doing it. * — Lamar Cravens Incentives for multiculturalism OK The debate over the proposed multicultural es. Doing so would offer potential employers or graduate school admissions officers to quickly evaluate how much exposure a student has had to other cultures in their schoolwork. Shan e W illiam s TEXAN C O L U M N IS T ^ requirement has the two sides arguing over different issues. Its proponents are support­ ing the multicultural part of the issue, but oppo­ nents have a problem with the requirement part. Only a small minority has a problem with multi­ cultural courses, but an overwhelming majority resent being forced. People can't stand the mandatory seat belt law. Everybody hates that social security deduction on their paycheck. Who doesn't despise the IRS? Multiculturalism should not be the next victim of this mandatory resentment. The solution is to offer incentives rather than require attendance. Such a theory has worked in other areas. Take contributions to charities for instance. If the government forced every citizen to give 1 percent of their income or an equivalent number of hours to a charity of their choice, most would protest vigorously. Such governm ent induce­ ments border too close to state ordered socialism for most red-blooded Americans. Instead, the government offers an incentive for people to give money to charities. The amount donated can be deducted from your income when it comes time to pay taxes. When faced with growth of taxes and confusion about where their taxes go, many prefer the option of giving to local charities. Perhaps forcing people to give their money to charitable organizations would be better for the charities, but citizens at large would be unhappy over the turn of events. Not only would people resent having to give to charities, but the charities would likely resent the sense of insincerity sur­ rounding the whole ordeal. The University should consider using the same approach when discussing a multicultural cur­ riculum. They could indicate on transcripts courses with a multicultural component the same way the Uni­ versity already marks writing component cours­ Perhaps students who take approved multicul­ tural courses could receive a reduction in the rest of their tuition and fees. As an alternative, students taking at least one multicultural component course per sem ester could receive a small scholarship. Nothing spurs college students to action more than the promise of lower costs. Maybe these suggestions are unrealistic or unfeasible, but some incentives must exist. The reality of the situation is that no matter how morally right or pragmatic the ends may be, requirement as a means creates only resentment. If students really want to foster multicultural education at the University, they must come up with a better implementation than the current mandatory plan. Williams is a senior in Plan II.

In contrast, the president of Harvard earned $278,000. chusetts schools, brace your­ selves. Your quiet, ivy-covered, hallowed halls of education are about to be under the reign and wrath of John Silber, president of Boston University. Massachusetts governor William Weld wants Silber (his opponent for governor in 1990) as chairman of the State Board of Education. President Silber has commanded Boston Uni­ versity for 25 years. But before con­ quering institution, Silber served at the University of Texas. that Beginning as a philosophy profes­ sor, Silber became a controversial dean of the former College of Arts and Sciences in 1967. As dean, Silber — never one for gentle diplomacy — developed bitter enemies and stead­ fast allies while he ruled the College. His time at the University is par­ ticularly characterized by his "w ar" with Frank Erwin, then chairman of the Board of Regents. Finally in 1970, this town became too small for both of them, and Erw in fired Silber when he opposed the breakup of the Laurie Higginbotham TEXAN C O L U M N IS T ”” College of Arts and Sciences into what we now know as the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Nat­ ural Sciences. When Silber became president, Boston U niversity was headed toward an $8.8 million deficit. He pulled Boston U niversity b u t of debt. Indeed, Silber has managed to balance the budget of Boston Uni­ versity for 24 years. But this financial success did not come wrthout pain. Part of Silber's cutbacks included eliminating facul­ ty that he considered "dead wood." Silber prides himself on knowing "first-raters" from mere second- and third-rate faculty. But his confidence in his ability to assess quality is not echoed by all educators. According to The New York Times, Silber overrode the uni­ (w inner of Silber explained that he had read Lynch's book, Scientific Practice and Ordinary Action the Robert K. Merton Award from the American Sociological Association) and decided it was "not very good." "H e was writing in an area that I am very competent in, and that man's writing was just plain jargon," Silber said. Lynch is not the first professor to face the acidic side of John Silber. James Iffland, former head of the faculty council, describes Silber as a controller rather leader. Iffland alleges that after a faculty meeting ended, Silber began shout­ ing at him and ended by asserting, "It's a shame the institution of duel­ ing was abolished." than a Certainly Silber was not left want­ ing for more money; he is presently the highest paid college president in the country. In 1993-94, he earned $564,000, according to a recent sur­ vey by the Chronicle o f Higher Educa­ Silber is no more lax with students than with faculty. He does not allow condoms to be distributed in the dorms of Boston University because, as he puts it, "If you are not smart enough to know how to use a con­ dom and where to find one by the time you get to this university, you are too dumb to be here!" Point well taken, but coming from a father who lost a son to AIDS in 1994, a little more compassion for students might be expected. Silber's new conquest is the State Board of Education. His academic policies will undoubtedly shake up the M assachusetts education sys­ tem. He is expected to resign his post at Boston University next year and turn his full attention to the State Board of Education. And when John Silber zeros in on the target of his attention — M assa­ chusetts schools mav never be the same. Higginbotham is a senior in history.

Is-she writing about the Israel in which I grew up, the .same Israel that followed policies of beat­ ing w omen and children, breaking the bones of unarmed protesters, torturing political prisoners without granting them trials or even the rights agreed to under the Geneva Conventions? Schultz claims that Rabin may be Israel's greatest peacemaker, yet she fails to mention that Rabin himself was the instigator of the aforementioned policies during the Intifada. To find true peacemakers she should look further, to activists in organizations such as Peace Now and Ratz. Rabin, whom Associate Editor Lamar Cravens accurately labeled a man of war as well as peace, died as a result of traditional Israeli politics. When a figure is opposed, he is assassinated. The difference here is that a student, a civilian, gunned down Rabin, whereas Masaad officials carry out the Israeli attacks on Palestinian leaders. So while the world looks on with horror at the senseless violence, w e should not be shocked. Rabin was unfortunately a victim of his own violent, murderous policies. Elizabeth Weathers Nguyen Graduate student in Slavic languages H isto ry being rewritten To everyone who com plained about Lamar Cravens' Viewpoint (Mon, Nov. 6), don't dish it out since you can't take it! For years Palestinians, specifically Muslim Palestinians, have been labeled by the media as terrorists and murderers for their actions against Israel. Apparently, this is acceptable. However, if som eone points out the same type of behavior in an Israeli, action must be taken. Editorial responses weren't enough, though. Cravens had to be hound­ ed in person for expressing his view. Per­ haps you've forgotten, this isn't Israel, where its O.K. to harass people for being pro-Palestinian. It seems Rabin's death has led to a phe­ nomenon common to powerful leaders — their history is rewritten. No longer was Rabin the man responsible for expelling thousands of Palestinians their homes, helping lead to the current Palestin­ ian diaspora. His death has turned him into a martyr for peace whose past actions are irrelevant. But as Lamar alluded to, Rabin's peace effort was indeed an attempt to solve a problem he himself helped create. from It seems the lesson here is that pro-Pales­ tinian views are not welcome. However, it should be known that the reason there were not m o ^ letters supporting Lamar is not because he is alone in his opinion. It is because others are afraid of facing the same harassment he did for expressing it. Omar B. Naseef Computer science senior N R A teaches gun safety In response to Chris Parry's opinion, "G O P m isses target on gun research," (Nov. 6), first, if the recipe was truly for preventing injuries by firearms, it would work with the NRA to promote its safety courses, which every police force in the country looks to for safety instructors. Tell me, sir, which group besides the NRA has certified safety instructors? Second, firearms themselves are not the FIRING LINE "second leading cause. . ." but it is the neg­ ligent use and maintenance of firearms. By your way of thinking, since drunken dri­ vers kill 38,000 people a year, we should blame their cars. Sorry if I'm not "politically correct," but you should include yourself in promoting political agendas right along with the sena­ tors you smugly criticize and quit your own "political shenanigans" and write like an objective, responsible journalist, not a hypocrite. K.C. Neill Government junior Argument w a sn ’t a ‘fray’ I am writing in response to "Blanton res­ ident faces arson charge" (Nov. 7), which erroneously reported that I and Lindsey Elaine Hunt were involved in a "fray." According to New Webster's Dictionary, a "fray" is a fight or brawl (a noisy fight). Clearly, The Texan misreported, for I and Lindsey Hunt never brawled. Saying that I was involved in a "fray" insults my character and tarnishes my rep­ utation among my colleagues and profes­ sors. Saying that I was involved in a "fray" colors me as a person who would resort to violence to solve a problem. Furthermore, by saying that I and Hunt were involved in a "fray," The Texan is jus­ tifying Hunt's actions and creating a mood of sensationalism reminiscent of grocery store check-out-line gossip rags. This afternoon, I had the immense plea­ sure of sifting through the wet ashy ruins that were once my clothing. Once again, The Texan has misreported. It was not "som e" of my clothing that had been "dam aged." Rather all of my clothes had been destroyed: every shoe, every pair of jeans, every' dress, every shirt, every skirt. The only things that I had left were the clothes on my back, the shoes on my feet, and the clothes in the dirty clothes hamper. 1 would appreciate it if The Texan, or any­ one for that matter, would not minimize the impact of Hunt's actions. I am a victim of a crime that could have produced 250 plus other victims — the young women of Blanton. Thank God it did not. Vanessa Nicole Richards Government junior D ogge tt sh o u ld reform Look who's coming to reform. Lloyd Doggett's letter is of very poor taste for the congressman. I have lived in Texas my entire life (almost 21 years) and have seen Doggett many times and studied what he has done for Texas. Doggett is the very last person to talk about reform. Being one of the "good ol' boys" of the Texas Legislature for years, he has never talked of reform, and has been the "K ing" of filibusters against it. I learned a long time ago "Politics and Truth" are indeed a contradiction in terms. Money talks, and Doggett has gained his money by making sure he is always in the middle of the road. Reform is greatly needed, and Congress­ man Doggett's reform is not an issue of people, or of governmental reform, but of reform to keep his nice little job until he becomes a "creaky old m an" like Sen. Robert Byrd. Don't get caught in the middle of the road like so many other D em ocrats, Doggett or you will destroy your party and the foundation of this nation. Benjamin Hastings YCT Table Chairman UT ants go marching on Very few students at this University do not take time out of their busy schedules to watch the Simpsons. One line that I am always reminded of while on campus is Kent Brockman stating that "I for one, hail our new ant leaders." Why you ask? Have any of you actually looked on the floor of any of the buildings on campus? Sitting on the fldor outside of multiple professors' doors waiting for office hours I have been joined by masses of ants. The ants apparently also favor study lounges. Even the registrar's office has an ant problem. When informing the guy at the* window about the situation, the response was simply "I know ." , I am looking forward to the day that I can once again put my book-bag safely back on the floor.

Fee Continued from page 1 The Studen t G overnm ent has tried u n su ccessfu lly for several y e a rs to create this co m m ittee, Bichlersaid. The push for the com m ittee gained m om entum last sum m er after a d m in istrato rs d ecid ed to increase the general fee by $10 per- credit-hour this fall and to imple­ ment an identical increase next fall. Berdahl's com m ents cam e one day after UT System Chancellor William Cunningham said, "I think the fee committee should happen and will happen. I would endorse a structure that allow s students to have input into their fees, [but] I don't support a structure where students would have veto power" over administrators. The proposal calls for a commit­ tee comprised of four administra­ tors and five students that w ould make recommendations on general fee in creases. If a d m in istra to rs decide to reject the recommenda­ tion, they would write an explana­ tion to the committee. Both the administrators' decision and the committee recom m enda­ tion would be presented to the UT System Board of Regents for a final judgment. "This committee would hold the administration accountable," said Ryan Barnett, vice president of cam­ p u s a ffa irs for the U n iv ersity D em ocrats. "It g iv e s a w ritten record on how receptive the University is to students, and a writ­ ten record is a very powerful tool." L ast m onth, The U n iv ersity D em ocrats organ ized a petition drive supporting the creation of the committee. But critics of the committee argue that members would not make any difference in the fee structure at the University because administrators would continue to hold all the deci­ sion-making power. "There is no use to have another student committee if it has no teeth," said Mike Pozmantier, a govern­ ment junior. "If the committee can't do anything except give input, the administration is going to do what they want to do anyway." Barnett said that although the administrators will continue to do as they like with fee decisions, the committee offers a better deal for students. The committee w ould give the students "the right to be represent­ ed in fee decisions," Barnett said. "U p to now, no formal way of dia­ logue between the students and the administrators is in place." 1000s of books at 1/2 price or less.

Doug Lewin, a member of the Coalition of Activist- Minded People United in Struggle, said the legislation "is explicitly against the rights of American citizens." "To expand the FBI's powers without looking at past abuses would be a tragic mistake," Lewin said, adding that the bill is "m odern-day M cC arthyism ," and that political activists who criticize the government will be targeted. But Sean McCann, a member of the University Democ­ rats, said the idea that the federal government is trying to "extend its grasp" over students is ridiculous. "I've had it with people decrying government as the root of all problems. The governm ent is no bigger or sm a lle r th an the A m erican p e o p le w an t it to b e ," McCann said. But most of the forum panelists agreed that such legis­ lation endangers the civil liberties of citizens. Other student groups had mixed reactions to the bill. David Albert, a member of Hillel, a Jewish organiza­ tion, said the bill would not invade privacy, although legislators "have veered far too much" from constitution­ al b o u n d a ries "try in g to crack dow n on su sp icio u s behavior." But Albert said the bill is important to national securi­ ty, saying, "W e have to make slight sacrifices of individ­ ual rights" to maintain that security. The implications which the legislation will have on the civil rights of immigrants and minorities stirred some debate among the students at the forum. Lewin said the legislation "caters to the prejudices [against] aliens." Others said society, not government, is responsible for violating the rights of private citizens, especially through suspicions against minorities which surfaced after the Oklahoma City bombing. "You can't legislate around the suspicions of everyday citizens," said Asim Ghafoor, a member of the Muslim Students' Association. Rehan Jalali, a nutrition senior, said no m atter how much the government tries to legislate against terrorism, terrorists always will be associated with Muslims. "You can't legislate that out of people's heads," he said. Naved Hasan, a microbiology senior, said the govern­ ment "needs to be more responsible, considering [the legislation affects] the civil liberties of a large portion of the population." "M ost Muslims look down on terrorists who use our religion as a scapegoat," for their actions, Hasan added. But McCann said the legislation will not perpetuate such stereotypes. "I think suspicion of ideas is a very dangerous kind of trend, [but] if we keep a level head we can draw definite lines between paranoia and suspicion," McCann said. Mexican telephone service rises FEDERICO CURA________________ Daily Texan Staff The former director of Mexico's telecommunications monopoly said Thursday that industry is slowly pro­ gressing despite an economic recession in the country. The UT M exican C enter of the Institute of Latin American Studies spónsored the campus lecture by Emilio Carrillo Gamboa, former director of Telefonos de Mexico Inc., or Telmex, Mexico's privately owned telecommunications monopoly. Carrillo said rural areas in the country still lack ade­ quate telephone service. "As far as rural telephony, the company is provid­ ing service at a pace of 2,500 [towns] per year," he said. "The big question now ... is how big should a town be to qualify for service." He said Telmex is providing coverage as demand rises, although the company is not doing so systematically. "O ften in M exico you can get a cellu la r phone installed for free, but you have pay $500 to get a [wire- based] line," he said. "One idea being tossed around is to charge [wireless telephone users] only for outgoing calls, as it is done with regular [wire-based] phones." Carrillo, now a lawyer in private practice, also spoke about the implementation of new telecommunications legislation by Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo. The new legislation, passed in June by the Mexican Congress, m andates creation of local and long dis­ tance services, television distribution plans and a com p etitive system for the operation o f M exico's satellite systems. "Telecommunications is considered a leading indus­ try in the country's move toward the free m arket," said Peter Ward, director of the ILAS Mexican Center. "There is great interest in this opening." UT econom ics professor W illiam G lade said the dow nturn of the M exican econom y w ill slow the restructuring of the industry. "The speed in which companies act in the [restruc­ turing] process will be reduced by the recession and high interest rates," said Glade, who teaches a gradu­ ate course about the Mexican economy. He added that high interest rates will hurt the financ­ ing of expansion and of infrastructure improvements.

BRAD HAMILTON/Daily Texan Staff Law students object to end of ‘lottery’ j ob interviewing JENNIFER SCHULTZ Daily Texan Staff Some UT law students are protest­ ing a d ecisio n to cancel a system guaranteeing students job interviews but which some School of Law offi­ cials called "a waste of time." The school's com puter interview lottery system required law firms to schedule 50 percent of their fall on- ca m p u s ra n d o m ly throu gh the lottery system . Som e students said this gave them a better chance of getting their foot in the door of major law firms. in te rv ie w s The system guaranteed the more than 700 UT law students registered w ith the sc h o o l's ca reer serv ices office at least one job interv iew. "T h is [change] will ben efit only the law firms, and it will cause more stress and resen tm en t in the law school," said John Black, a first-year law student. Black added that all students, not ju st the top q u a rte r o f th e class, deserve at least one shot at an inter­ view with a major firm. "Firms are bitter that they have to waste 20 minutes of their time talk­ ing to students they didn't want to talk to," said Amy Sladczyk, a sec­ ond-year law student and the Stu ­ dent Government law school repre­ sentative. But M ichael Sharlot, the dean of the law sch o o l, said the requ ired interviews do not help the students or the firms very much. "I think the career service commit­ tee, including both faculty and stu­ dents came to the conclusion that it was not helpful," Sharlot said. Slad czy k said that even though there were four students on the com­ mittee that made the change, there was no effort made to poll or survey the rest of the student body. Sharlot said that m ore than 200 firms interview UT students. If they are forced to interview certain stu­ dents, it seems the "time of both par­ ties is being wasted," he said. He added that law school admin­ istrators expected a small amount of negative student feedback because of the decision. "Anytim e you change something, someone derides they miss it," Shar­ lot said. He also said he did not think the change will hurt students' chances of g ettin g a job, sin ce 90 p e rce n t of graduates consistently secure a job immediately after graduation. But M ichelle M elson, recruiting c o o rd in a to r for F u lb rig h t and Jaworski, L.L.P., a large international firm , said she has m ixed feelin g s! about the cancellation of the lottery system. "From the students' standpoint, 1! am sorry to see it go," she said. M elson said the lo ttery systeifi allowed many students to "get their foot in the door, where they normal­ ly would have not had the chance." She said firms normally will inter­ view only the top 20 percent of the law class for jobs. The in terv iew in g ex p e rie n ce is essential to students' learning experi­ ence, Melson added. "The more interviews you do, the better you get at it. It is an art," Mel­ son said. W hich have you been waiting for - the best selection or the best price?

Board reallocates art funds for spelling book purchases Associated Press State Board of Education members, deciding to fund art or spelling books, drew a line dow n the middle Thurs­ day. T h e b o a r d 's co m m itte e s on s tu ­ d en ts and sch o o l fin an ce, m e e tin g jointly, voted to cut an art book fund­ ing proposal from $45 million to $23 million in grades one through five. The rem aining $22 m illion w ould be re d ire c te d to h e lp sc h o o ls b u y spelling books for grades one through six. Board m em bers also want to add $5.35 million in additional funds. Full board action is expected Friday on the proposal, which would put the new books in the classroom beginning in the 1997-98 school year. It's part of an ov erall p ro p osal to spend ab ou t $360 million for new textbooks in vari­ ous subjects for 1998-99. Board m em ber Robert Offutt of San Antonio, w ho offered the com prom ise proposal, said it reflects a m ove back to th e m o re tra d itio n a l m e th o d o f teaching spelling by using a separate book for the subject. Reading books a d o p te d re c e n tly b y th e sta te h ad m o v e d to a d iffe r e n t a p p ro a ch in which spelling and other language art components are taught together. Sepa­ rate spellers haven't been financed by the state under that approach, he said, although som e school d istricts have paid for their own. "G ov. [George W.] Bush was elect­ ed on a platform that called for back to basics, and the L egislature in the last legislative session w as certainly em phasizing that, and I think you're seeing that in the state board, to o ," O ffutt said. The president of the Texas Art Edu­ cation Association, Kay Savay, said the art book funding will help. She said the last time the state adopted art books for elementary students was 30 years ago. "T h is is not an issue of spelling ver­ sus art ... b u t w e n eed ap p ro p ria te m aterials because w e teach children t& be visually literate, and in this world children need to be able to com m uni­ cate visually," she said. The proposal will provide at least a set of art books for each art classroom, O ffu tt said. O n cam p u ses in w hich th ere isn 't a sep arate art classro om and teacher, each student w ill get a book, he said. Board member Will Davis of Austin h ad su g g e ste d w a itin g to v o te for spelling book funding until the 'state can go through a process for specifying what the textbooks should contain. But Offutt said he feared that would drive up the cost of books offered by pub­ lishers, comparing it to "the $600 toilet seats that the Air Force buys." " T h e A ir F o r c e ca n go o u t to B uild ers Square and b u y a $6 toilet seat, but because it has certain specifi­ cations, you ... have to have a $600 toi­ let seat," he said. Offutt said there cur­ rently are good spellers on the market. In other action, board members for the second m onth in a row put off a vote on proposed new textbook rules. T h e b o a rd is s tru g g lin g w ith how much it can regulate textbooks in light o f a n e w la w m e a n t to g iv e lo c a l school districts more power to choose w h a t b o o k s th e y b u y w ith s ta te m o n ey . A m o n g th o se ask in g fo r a delay was Agriculture Commissioner Rick Perry, w ho contended that pro­ posed changes would make it harder to b ar b o o k s th a t co n ta in w h at he called an editorial bias.

DEBORAH CANNON/Daily Texan Staff State may settle $13 million suit Associated Press State g ov ern m en t w h istleb lo w er G eorg e G reen said Thursday he is w atching and w aiting for a m eeting next w eek at w hich a settlem ent w ill be offered in his m ulti- m illion-dollar claim against the state. The L egislative B ud get Board , com posed o f top leg ­ islative leaders, is scheduled to consider a $13.775 m illion deal on W ednesday, officials said. "I'm thrilled the issue is going to be consid ered ," said Green, w ho earlier this year saw a bill to pay him die in the closing hours of the Legislature. "A n y deal that two parties agree to m ust have benefits for both. ... I am satisfied that justice and the ju ry 's ver­ dict w ill be h on ored ," G reen said. The Texas Senate voted in M ay to pay him m ore than $19 million and Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock called Green " a m an w h o's suffered real injustice at the h and s of the sta te ." Opposition in the state House scuttled that settlement. A sp o k esw o m an fo r B u llo ck said T h u rsd a y th at he rem ains com m itted to paying Green.

In firing Green, the agency accused him of m issing a p h y sical th erap y session and m ak in g one im p ro p er phone call, valued at 13 cents. The jury that sided w ith G reen aw arded him $3.6 m il­ lion in p erson al d am ag es an d $10 m illion in punitive dam ages under a state law designed to encourage gov­ ernm ent em ployees to blow the whistle on wrongdoing. The lieutenant governor has said all along that George Green won in court and we should honor our obligations.” Ctndy Rugeley, BuKock spokeswoman — R ather than pay, the state appealed. In 1994, the T exas Su p rem e C o u rt sided w ith G reen and told the state to pay, bu t law m ak ers balked. Since the 1991 verdict, d aily interest of m ore than $5,000 has boosted the state's debt to about $20 million. A cco rd in g to d o cu m en ts m ad e p u b lic by leg islative officials Thursday, the new plan w ould pay $ 1 3 .7 7 5 m il­ lion, an am ount roughly equal to the original judgm ent. Green, his law yers and an individual w ho ow ns a per­ centage o f G re e n 's ju d g m en t w ould receive im m ediate cash paym ents of just over $9 m illion.

Sure, w e've gotten some small press but oth­ erwise its like: So?" h um ble S chw arzenbach's the groundsw ell of support Jawbreaker has received since its debut album Unfun was unleashed on the m ore intro­ spective m em bers of the California skate-punk scene back in year 1990. response belies By m erit alone, Jaw breaker soon developed a following that transcended any single categorization. A nd once the fan base spread it became apparent that the music alone could not account for the devoted following. O n Unfun, Schwarzenbach sang many a song about anger, love and desperation. In part a reflection of his per­ sonal politics, these themes show ed the influence of living in the big city — an influence that w ould never leave them. Blake explained, "O ur songs have always been about the city, they are extremely urban. But, they are very per­ sonal too. All of our songs are sung in the first person. Of the characters I write about, it, in some way, alw ays rep­ resents me and the w ay I feel." In 1992 they released the much aw aited follow-up Bwouac. As varied as "punk" rock can be w ithin its style, this album took a much different direction from the pre­ vious effort. True, the sam pling and scratchy vocals rem ained as before, but the w hole energy of Bivouac was slow er but more powerful. And, as this album prepared them to be a major band in the underground scene (assum ing that isn't an oxymoron), people began to w on­ der if and w hen Jawbreaker w ould jum p ship to a corpo­ rate label. 1994's 24 Hour Revenge Therapy courted such a proposi- MARY ELIZABETH HEARD Daily Texan Staff Jodie Foster is at it again. Take it from Madonna, some people just shouldn't switch jobs, as Foster's sophom ore directoral attem pt, Home for the Holidays, just doesn't quite hit the target. Foster's heart-w renching per­ formance in 1988's The Accused confirmed that she can tackle dif­ ficult dram atic roles. However, comedy is an entirely different game. A nd Foster's assum ed role of comedy director is not a move well taken. Home for the Holidays is a film that tries to tell us w hat the family experience is really about at all stages of life. The cycles of anger and regret are characterized by childish bickering and laughter, practical jokes and conciliatory confessions. The movie attem pts to shed a little comic relief on the com m on experience of the holi­ day emotional rollercoaster ride. Claudia Larson (Holly H unter) buckles herself into a flight head­ ed for a w eekend of holiday cheer with her eccentric family in Balti­ more.

For m any people this status was irrelevant, for the album was their most poppy and generic w ork to date. A lthough they lost a few old fans because of it, their pop­ ularity did continue to increase. Now, with their Geffen Records debut album Dear You, one finds all the hype and feel of a major label debut.

The overplayed first single, Lump, is sim ply a collection of w ords linked together to form a m eaning­ less song. It's also one of the most aggressively fun rock hits in years. The second title up to bat, Kitty, will have you m ew ling along after one listen. The the kinda-funky, kinda-grungy, kinda-but-not-quite country tracks are also an infectious lot.

Just be careful with tnose small — Joe Sebastian detachable parts. AGES 3 AND UP Artist: Supernova Label: Amphetamine Reptile Rating: ★★V& (out of five) Check your so-called maturity at the door, folks, Supernova is here with Ages 3 and Up. If you think you're just too busy and self-im portant to listen to a bunch of grown men acting like kindergartners, then you probably are. The door's right that way, have fun formulating that year-end divi­ dend chart. Everybody else can get ready for some real goofiness... Supernova plays silly one- or two- minute pogo-punk songs just for the hell of it. Actually, there probably isn't any other reason to play music like this. They can't even cop an attitude and pretend to be fighting the power like the current wave of punk-revivalists claim to do. At least Supernova real­ izes this; it's pretty obvious that most punk bands still think they're danger­ ous or some other such nonsense. So Supernova just rips out odes to taking your vitamins, drooling and Holidays Continued from page 9 She's had a relatively bad day. First she was laid off from her job as an art restorer, then she caught a cold. Her daughter, played by Claire Danes, isn't along for the trip because she has chosen to lose her virginity over Thanksgiving and promises not to do it in a motorized vehicle. After losing her coat in the may­ hem of O 'H are's airport terminal, Claudia finds herself sitting next to a talkative old lady who interrupts her desperate air phone call to her broth­ er with selections from her own life story while munching on extra-salted fried chicken. Upon arrival at the Larson home, we realize Claudia's family is pretty whacked. Her father Henry (Charles Durning) is a big teddy-bear spin­ ning through episodes of nostalgia, periodically dancing little ditties with his wife and occasionally the vacuum cleaner, and fixing things around the house that aren't broken. Durning portrays Henry's momen­ tary slips into senile ineffectuality with flair. And not surprisingly, Adele (Anne Bancroft) complements the entire cast with her subtle elegant S t u d y a b r o a d G u a n a j u a t o performance as Claudia's chain­ smoking mom. Her brother Tommy (Robert Downey Jr.) slithers into the hquse in night-vision glasses, tagging along with his flirtatious friend Leo Fish (Dylan McDermott). Downey adds spice to the crackpot humor with his boyish charm and practical jokes to the point of obnox­ ious overload. Tommy is the kind of clown every­ one loves and hates in high school. He would fill the principal's car with manure on the last day of class and pop a girl's bra when she's talking to her latest teen-age crush. Tommy is the black sheep of the family and his recent marriage to his longtime lover is a step too far for his tight-assed sis­ ter Joann (Cynthia Stevenson). Instead of a flowing, humorous take on crazed familial hell, Home fo r the Holidays results in a raucous playpen of aging adults acting like children. Perhaps the main problem lies in W.D. Richter's lackluster script. Or maybe it was the forced contem porary story-book ending that threw the whole movie off-kilter.

But the result is a disjointed film that tries to elicit spon­ taneous laughter one minute and tug at the audience's heartstrings the next. Home fo r the Holidays succeeds in both objectives in a few spots. Foster pays a moving tribute to The Graduate when Adele strips down to her slip in front of the mirror in an aged existen­ tial moment. After a disagreement with Claudia, Tommy kicks her out of the car and screeches up and down the street blaring Surfin’ Bird from the radio, while she talks to the high school prom queen who drives up in her shiny BMW. I want to think that Foster is send­ ing a message in her scattered direc­ tion of Home fo r the Holidays. I want to believe that she chose to juxtapose these very different actors against this script to show that family mem­ bers are not alike. Eccentrics are just that — eccentric. They are not alike merely because they share the quality of being a little off-center. But this time, it's the movie that's dysfunc­ tional. Jawbreaker Continued from page 9 Blake is ambivalent toward the dilem­ ma of signing to a big label. "I was faced with two choices, both equally appealing and repellent. After a while you can't think about it anymore because it becomes useless." No longer does Jawbreaker con­ cern itself with the personal demons of signing to a major label. "W e don't care about what7s being said or writ­ ten about us. We judge success from the shows we play and the amount of enthusiasm we receive. So far the tour has been good." Jawbreaker's tour stops Sunday night at Emo's to gauge the amount of enthusiasm here, so to speak. However, beyond Austin their future is uncharted territory. Even if [ Jawbreaker doesn't become a house­ hold name and doesn't sell a million records, it still has been a heckuva good ride. 7 / 'm s ate- O p e n M o n -Sat until 1:30 at night 24th & San Antonio DENIM D E P O T 5 5 i I itiii lit ! • I 5 5 8 0 0 5 (>|K I1 I I 7 I \ <-| \l.l< »- t o Hm N Si II L E V I S 5 0 I s UNDER THE SUN \ V m t . i q e I i t t | u > i i t i i n ( I n d i e s .

The Aggies and Mustangs combined to take eight of the top-15 places two weeks ago at the 5WC championship meet in Waco, and seem poised for a repeat performance. Adding a degree of difficulty to Texas' task will be the presence of sev­ eral non-conference schools that boast a host of powerful distance runners. UT-Arlington and UT-San Antonio have out-distanced the Longhorns on previous occasions this season, and will line up beside the Horns again on Saturday, as will Arkansas, Division IV's top-ranked team. "You can't really say anything as far as place goes," said Texas fresh­ man Sammy Juarez. "The other teams are just so good. We just want to keep improving." Even if Texas is unable to attain the top-two finish at district needed in order to receive an invitation to the NCAA championships, the sea­ son will not neccesarliy be over for at least one Longhorn. Hosey, who has contended throughout the season that his high­ est aspiration is to qualify for nationals, may still be within strik­ ing distance of this goal after the final results are tallied. "It's going to be tight," Hosey said. "But I think I can make it. I am looking forward to making it." While the men's last trip to Col­ lege Station was somewhat disap­ pointing, the Lady Longhorns' Oct. 14 visit was downright nightmarish. A f that meet, only four runners crossed the finish line for Texas, and the team did not place overall. The Lady Horns will be looking to make amends for this freakish per­ formance, but will do so drastically short-handed. Assistant coach Randy Bungard saw a team deci­ mated by injuries and decided to take only senior Cheri Carrington and freshman Dana Frausto to the qualifying meet, giving the remain­ der of his team the rest of the season off. For that reason, the Horns will be unable to line up the minimum five runners required to place as a team. On the surface, it may seem that team, Carrington's without a chances of advancing to Iowa would suffer. However Carrington also sees the meet as an opportunity to run a bit selfishly, in attempts to achieve the highest place possible. "When the whole team is there, you don't want to start off fast and risk crashing at the end," Carrington said. "That would hurt the team's totals. But without a team, I don't have to worry' about that. I can focus entirely on place and won't have to look back and wonder what I could have done." ITA: Lady Horns breeze through first round Continued from page 16 second-round 6-2, 6-2 victory over SMU's Amanda Browne. After the completion of the singles matches, Moros and Taylor teamed up for doubles. The pair took out its first and second round opponents with little expenditure of effort and time 6-0, 6-1 against Southwest Louisiana and 6-0, 6-3 against Arkansas-Little Rock. Freshman Sandy Sureephong,con- tinued the day's quick match theme. The tournament's third seed lost just five games in four matches, laying a double bagel 6-0, 6-0 victory on her second-round opponent Audrey Dumas from SMU. After her singles destructions were over, Sureephong paired with Nomena Rasolomala for doubles and their matches were short and merciless. They advanced to the third round with a 6-2, 6-0 first- round win over Southwest Texas' Mandy Slayton and Lindy Hardy and a 6-1, 6-1 thrashing in their sec­ ond-round against Hortensia Her­ nandez and Sarah Chester of Baylor. Rasolomala earlier had gained entry to the third round with easy first and second round singles victories. Junior Melody Falco and Fresh­ man Laura Berendt hardly had time to break a sweat in their matches. Falco opened with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Olga Limon of Rice and a sec­ ond-round 6-3, 6-2 pounding of Laure Malherbe of the University of New Orleans. Berendt crushed her opponents with equal ferocity. She quickly dismissed her first and sec­ ond round opponents, Danica Seimer of Rice and Julie Lessiter of Northwestern State by, 6-1, 6-0 scores.

Volleyball: Bledsoe hopes to improve play Continued from page 16 "That was very discouraging, because I was hoping to come in and get to play right away," Bledsoe said. "I had to call my mom every night, because I was so upset. She always tried to encourage me and help me out." Although she refuses to admit it, the redshirt year proved to be a posi- tivé in Bledsoe's career. to sit back and see how the Texas sys­ tem worked instead of just getting shoved in there right away." "It helped her, absolutely," Haley said. "If you can keep their attitude up, you should redshirt them all. You're always better off, if you can give them that one year of transition. Lakisha is just one example of many that I could give you." "Well, I wouldn't say it was a good th in g" Bledsoe said. "But it did help Bledsoe was highly recruited out of high school after being named to the Volleyball Monthly Fab 50. Bledsoe, also recruited by Tennessee, Texas Tech and Louisiana State, chose Texas mainly because she refused to go to the volleyball haven of California. "A lot of people talk about the West Coast and what great volleyball teams they have out there," Bledsoe said. "I knew Texas had a chance to prove that we can play too, and that you don't have to be from California to be a good volleyball player." Clements: UH QB putting up good numbers Continued from page 16 TCU Oct. 7 in which he threw for 401 yards and three touchdowns. 'I think we have a very fine quar­ who terback to deserves have som e recognition for w hat he has acco m p lish ed ," Houston head coach Kim Hel­ "I said. ton think he has played the toughest sched­ ule in the coun- try, which everyone seems to want to forget. He has had some good days versus some extremely good defensive football teams." Ciements But his statistics don't tell the whole story. It's Houston's 3-26-1 record since his redshirt year of 1992 that does. "It's been a long four years," the junior Clements said "In a way, it's nice. I've gotten some experience, matured more. "But it's been frustrating for me personally. I've never been part of a losing team, and to come into a situ­ ation here, now I understand what people are faced with when they are at the bottom and how they feel. And it's not a very good feeling." The 6-3, 200-pound quarterback from Huntsville is one of the most talented players on a Cougar team dominated by underclassmen and lacking the talent of its conference foes. "I think Chuck Clements is one of the better players in our league this year," Texas coach John Mackovic said. "H is numbers are good. He's done well, he's made big plays for them this year. We didn't see him last year." Clements missed the Texas con­ test — one of six games in '94 — with a broken metacarpal bone in his throw ing hand. Although he played only five games, he still led the team with 838 yards passing after throw ing for 1,216 in nine games the year before. W hile David K lingler's career- record of 9,430 passing yards is probably not within reach, Clements still ranks sixth on the UH list with 3,903 yards. More important, the Cougar sig­ nal caller has become a vocal leader on the team. "M y freshm an and sophom ore year, I was just learning the ropes, trying to understand college foot­ ball," he said. "But now I know the ropes, and I can teach the$e younger guys and explain to them how much work is needed." C em ents added that while he is not "cocky," he has more confidence, especially in his throwing ability. game "M entally, my has im proved," Clements said. "I spent a lot of time in the film room. It's getting easier to read the defenses and knowing what to do with the ball, getting the ball out quicker." He'll have to do so Saturday against a new and improved Texas defense or else, like his career at Houston, it will be another long night.

Call Angie after 11 pm at 471-5422 for appointment The University of Texas at Austin is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Mavs off to best start in franchise history Associated Press DALLAS — Now that the Dallas M avericks know how to win, they have to learn how to deliver a knockout blow. “ One of the next things this team has to learn is w hen you get a team down, you've got to trom p on 'em ," coach Dick M otta said. “ We have a tendency to let up. W henever we get a big lead, I'm like a cat on a hot tin roof." The Mavericks kept their coach jum ping Thursday night Dallas increased its record to 4- 0, its best start in team history, defeating the M ilw aukee Bucks 104-94 T hursday night. Jam al M ashburn scored 27 points, Jason Kidd had 22 and Jim Jackson added eight key points in the final 3:05 in the M avs' victory. Dallas w asted m ost of an 18- point third quarter lead as Mil­ w aukee pulled to 92-88 w ith 3:25 to play. But Jackson hit a 3-pointer on the M avericks' next possession the Dallas lead never fell and below five points the rest of the way. Vin Baker had 29 points and 14 rebounds to pace the Bucks, who fell to 1-3. While Dallas was ll-for-23 from 3-point range, led by K idd's 4-for- 8 and M ashbu rn 's 3-for-7, the M avericks built their lead w ith their fastbreak offense. “ They got a lot of fastbreak buckets — they had 62 points in the first half and that's way too m any for us to beat anybody," Bucks point guard Lee M ayberry said. “ As soon as they get it off the boards, it's off to Kidd, and he's pretty m uch unstoppable in the open court." The M avericks' defense held their fourth straight opponent to less than 100 points. “ We d o n 't have the luxury of a lot of veteran guys," M ashburn said. "W e're still learning every day." After Jackson and Shawn Res- p ert trad e d 3-pointers, Jackson scored inside on a feed from Kidd to give the M avericks a 97-91 advantage with 2:26 rem aining. Field goals by George McCloud and Lorenzo W illiams and Jack­ son's free throw after a technical foul on M ilw aukee coach Mike D unleavy gave Dallas a 101-92 edge w ith 36.9 seconds to play. The M avericks opened an 18- point lead early in the third q u ar­ ter (73-55) before the Bucks used a 13-2 spurt to close the gap to 75-68. Dallas, led after three quarters, 83-76, after M ashburn's 16-footer with 14 seconds left in the quarter. M ilwaukee outscored Dallas in the third quarter 29-21 behind Glenn Robinson's 10 points. The M avericks closed the first quarter w ith an 18-2 run to build a 33-22 lead entering the second quarter. Dallas led 62-47 at the half.

The tie snapped a franchise-best eight-game winning streak for the Avalanche, who are 6- 0-2 at home. Murray scored at 7:33 of the first period. M urray skated down a loose puck behind the Stars' net and deflected a shot off a skate and between the pads of Darcy Wakaluk for his second goal of the year. It was the only lapse for Wakaluk, who had been 0-5 against the Avalanche franchise in Quebec and Colorado. Wakaluk stopped 29 shots and was brilliant, especially in the second period when Dallas killed successive penalties between 13:57 and 18:02 of the period. Dallas, the NHL leader in pow er-play chances, was 0-3 in the first period. Colorado goalie Jocelyn Thibault faced only four shots in the first period. Corey Millen tied the game with his first goal of the season on the power play at 6:23 of the second period. Brent Gilchrist hit the post and Millen rammed home the rebound. Texas faces SWC foes at A&M SHEA DAUGHERTY Daily Texan Staff Both of Texas' nationally ranked swimming and diving teams will make their first appearances at Texas A&M's newly completed Student Recre­ ational Center Natatorium Friday at the Reveille Invitational which runs through Sunday. Although the Aggies have already hosted dual meets this season, this is the first invitational in the new facility. TEXAS SWIMMING The Longhorns will face the teams from the Southwest Conference as well as former conference member Arkansas. For A&M, the invitational will give the Aggies the chance to showcase the new pool. This is important to the conference, because the site for the SWC championships is still yet to be decided, and A&M hopes to be in contention. This will be the third time this season that the No. 3 Lady Longhorns will face SMU. Last week­ end, the Lady Mustangs took the SMU Classic while Texas finished fourth. Worden's head coach Jill Sterkel had to shuffle the lineups a bit for that meet but should not have that problem in College Station. Sterkel says that the A&M invitational will be important for her team to get back on track after recovering from injuries and illness. TCU's women will not participate and SMU may only bring a par­ tial squad. Junior freestyler Danielle Strader is anticipated to compete for the first time since rehabilitating from leg surgery, and as expected, will not be 100 percent “We need to get back into the competition phase/' Sterkel said. ''What's most important is taking care of ourselves." Also in limited action will be backstroker Darby Chang and breast stroker Michele Schroder, who are still not back to full strength after their own bouts with injury. The Lady Horns defeated Rice and Houston ear­ lier this season en route to their 2-0 dual meet sea­ son record. After this weekend, the women will be gearing up for another famed showdown at No. 2 Stanford. The No. 4 men's team is also off to a 2-0 start, fresh off an Arizona sweep where it knocked off the eighth-ranked Wildcats and No. 12 Arizona State last weekend. The men will only compete against SMU, TCU, Rice, and Arkansas. One of Texas' many weapons is senior Matt Hooper, who is leading the team with three victo­ ries in the two dual meets thus far. Also, two first-place victories have been claimed by seniors Marty Hubbell, Wyatt Russo, and sophomore Neil Walker. In the diving competition, freshman Adam Creasy has already made his mark early in the sea­ son with one 3-meter victory along with three sec­ ond-place finishes.

In his last four, Brown has six TD passes and only one interception. Houston’s Chuck Clements missed last year’s Texas game because of a broken hand. He has thrown for an SWC-best 231.1 yards a game and eight TDs to go along with nine INTs, RUNNING BACKS: Longhorn Ricky Williams needs just 335 rushing yards to break Earl Campbell’s freshman record of 928 yards. Williams and Shon Mitchell both had 100-yard rushing performances against Texas Tech and have com­ bined for 13 rushing TDs. The Cougars best runner has been junior Antowain Smith with 434 yards and four TDs. Jay McGuire (187 yards) and Bryant Henderson (174 yards) back up Smith. WIDE RECEIVERS: Against Tech, Mike Adams broke the all-time Texas receiving yards record and now has 1,899. Houston's H-back Charies West (37 catches) and flanker Larkay James (36 catches) rank third and fourth in the SWC, respectively, and have five of the Cougars’ eight TD catches. OFFENSIVE LINE: The Longhorn line paved the way for two 100-yard rushers and 305 yards rushing against Tech and has­ n’t allowed a sack in 10 quarters. The Cougars have allowed only 11 sacks and are led by All-American candidate left tackle Jimmy Herndon Houston averages 297 pounds up front. DEFENSIVE LINE: U T s Tony Brackens, despite missing three games, is making a serious bid for the SW C defensive player of the year award. Stonie Clark had two sacks against Tech and Chris Akins leads the Horns with 11 tackles for a loss. The Coogs have only five sacks from the front four and lack experience as only end Carlos Chester is a senior. LINEBACKERS: Texas’ rush LB Robert Reed had his best game of the season against Tech and was named the SW C defensive player of the week. Houston's best is undersized Mike Parker (6-1, 204 pounds), who leads the team with 77 tackles and has one sack. SECONDARY: The Longhorn secondary intercepted Tech’s Zebbie Lethridge for the first two times this season. Comer Bryant Westbrook finally came away with a pick in ‘95. Comer Dedric Mathis is tied for the SW C lead with four INTs SPECIAL TEAMS: The only bad spot in Texas’ last outing was poor kick returning. Kicker Phil Dawson nailed a career- best 52-yard field goal. Houston’s West handles all return duties, and kicker Sebastian Villarreal has made 4 of 7 FGs. COACHES: For the first time all year Texas head coach John Mackovic gets the nod. After last week’s game plan it's hard to pick against him. Besides, Houston’s Kim Helton is 3- 26-1 in three years at the helm History: Horns ended Houston undefeated season in 1990 Continued from page 16 THEBNIE T h e D a i l y T e x a .n Friday, November 10, 1995 Page 15 crow d in a decade — show ed up for the national­ ly televised game, rising in roaring unison at the coin toss and refusing to let up the entire game. The Texas players never gave the fans an opportunity to rest, m aking it clear that 1990 w ould be different from the previous three years. "That was the best gam e I've ever seen," said current Longhorn gaurd Dan Neil, w'ho cites that gam e as a big reason for his signing w ith the Longhorns. "I really think w hat m ade the differ­ ence in that gam e w as the fans. They w ere crazy. I w as a junior in high school, my sister w ent to school here, and she b rought me up for that game, and it w as like, 'W hoa, there are some nutty peo­ ple around here." Behind the brutal rushing of freshman Butch Had- not and a stingy' Texas defense, Texas ruined Klin- gler's Heisman hopes and stymied the Houston offense for a 45-24 trouncing of the Cougars. The win propelled the Longhorns to No. 7 in the nation.

"O ur team as a whole got into a zone." To end any hopes of a second-half comeback, Texas drove 71 yards to open the second half, cul­ minating in an eight-yard touchdow n m n by H ad­ not in which he plowed through Houston comer- back Jerry Parks. When it was all said and done, Houston was forced to receive w hat it had taken so much pride in giving — a hum iliating defeat. There w as m ayhem after the game. H undreds of fans charged on to the field. M cW illiams was unable to shake hands with Jenkins because his players had lifted him to their shoulders, and Texas defensive backs G rady Cavness and Van M alone raced across the field and bowed before Jenkins. All the defensive backs had hoped to par­ ticipate in the gesture, but the m ob on the held sw ept them into the locker room.

Dugger and Charles Polansky, Daily Texan staff Houston: Longhorns take on struggling Cougars Continued from page 16 game (No\-. 2) expected by many to decide the SWC championship. Flmore, one of Texas' elder states­ men, isn't worried about emotions being down. "Right now w e're 6-1-1 and you can't be 10-1-1 until you're 7-1-1," Elmore said. "To be 7-1-1 we have to prepare this week and keep working hard and get ready to go dow n and play a gtxid fcxitball game." Mackovic has prepared his team this week by rem inding them of a sim­ ilar situation that ended with a loss to TCU in 1992. After an emotional win over Tech, the Horns traveled to Fort W orth and were beaten by the Frogs for the first time in 24 years. And everyone on Texas' roster remembers last season's defeat at Rice. "Playing a team like Houston that's only won one game, it's kind of easy to relax but we know w e're looking at a bigger picture," said Texas quarter­ back James Brown. "W e're trying to get to a big bowl game and win the conference and that's going to be our motivation." ■ The Texas-Houston game will not be televised. The game w'ill be on the radio on KVFT (1300-AM and 98.1 FM) and can be heard in Spanish on KTXZ (1560-AM). ■ Mackovic said Thursday that Line­ backer Kenny Lew'is and w ide receiv­ er C^uinton Wallace will not make the trip to Houston. Lewis has been sick and missed part of this w'eek's prac­ tice while Wallace has been bothered the last four weeks with a strained hamstring. "1 think Texas is a better offensive fo(^tbaIl team than USC, but 1 don't think anyone is better offensively than Florida," Helton said. "From w'hat I have seen, they are the best football team in the Southwest Conference." Texas head coach John Mackovic said he expects a better team than the one that lost 48-13 to the Horns in Austin last seastm. "1 think they are a m uch improved football team over a year ago," Mack­ ovic said. "Their offense is dramatical­ ly improved." The Cougar offense has already scored more points in 1995 than all of last seastin. This year Houston has scored 124 points in eight games as opposed to 115 in all of 1994. quarterback Chuck Clements leads the conference in pass­ ing yards per game with 231.1. He has thrown 8 touchdown passes this sea­ son, but also nme interceptions.

He is an All-American can­ didate w ho has started 39 of 40 games in his career. One thing worrying Mackovic is the open week Houston has had to pre­ pare for the game. "H ouston's one of those teams that we have to worry about because hav- mg an extra week just makes it a little tcaigh for us to know w hat they might do," Mackovic said.

The son of form er Longhorn Q B and three-year letterm an Joe Clements, Chuck has put up respectable numbers for the Coogs despite on ly starting 16 games in almost three seasons at Houston.

H is career outing came in a loss against Horns meet struggling Cougars CHARLES POLANSKY___________________________ Daily Texan Staff The Houston Cougars actually have the best winning per­ centage against Texas of any Southwest Conference team, winning seven of 21 meetings. The Horns lead the series 12- 7-2 and have won the last three. However, the matchup has lost so much luster it won't even be shown on television this time around when Texas faces the Cougars for the final time in conference action at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Astrodome in Houston. After this year Texas moves on to bigger and better things in the Big 12 and Houston joins Conference USA. Though the Cougars have fallen on hard times in recent years (3-26-1 the last three years), they have been to as many Cotton Bowls as Texas since joining the SW C — four. In 1995, the Coogs (1-7 overall, 1-3 in the SW C ) have played better than their record indicates against a murderous sched­ ule. Four of Houston's opponents have spent time in the top 10 this season and Texas (6-1-1, 3-0) is knocking on the door at No. 11. "They might have one of the toughest schedules in the nation," offensive tackle John Elm ore said. "It's unreal. They've played Florida, they've already played A & M , they have us and they had U SC ." Please see Houston, page 15 Please see Clements, page 12 Freshman tig h t end Derek Lewis (82) has been a force on special teams for the Horns, blocking one punt and causing a fum ble this season.

This is the last year fo r the SW C. DAVID LIVINGSTON AND MARK LIVINGSTON Daily Texan Staff The U n iversity of Houston m ay not have alw ays been good at foot­ ball, but if one w ere to listen to Cougar players, one m ight be per­ suaded otherwise. So in 1990, w hen they actually w ere good, the unihibited brash­ ness of the Cougars sim ply added to the opponent's frustration. That season, trying to fire up for a game against the H ouston Cougars was m uch easier than it is now — especially for Texas. D u r­ ing the w eek before the game between Houston and the Long­ the h ig h ly horns, regarded Cougars had plenty to say about w hat their feared passing attack w ould do to the Longhorn defense. "T h e H ouston p layers and coaches really challenged us," said W illie M ack G arza, w ho was a defensive back on the 1990 Texas team and is now a graduate assis­ tant coach for the H orns. "T he coach [John Jenkins] challenged us and challenged me in the new spa­ pers." Perhaps, Houston had a reason to be so cocky. The H orns had lost three in a row to "C o ug ar H igh,",as its detractors liked calling it. N ot only had they lost, but by a total of 173 to 64. Houston's high-powered aerial assault w as h u m iliatin g opposing defensive coordinators, and had sent the Cougars to an 8-0 record and a N o. 3 ranking in the Associated Press poll. Their m ain conflict of the season had been deciding w hich player to tout for the Heism an trophy — quarterback D avid K ling ler or tail­ back C huck W eatherspoon. U H w ent w ith Klingler, and his rifle- arm was putting up numbers w o r­ thy of it. The C ougars' run-and-shoot offense w as the p ride of coach Jenkins, and he was never bashful about letting his opponents see it — no matter w hat the score was or how much time was left. If he could score 100 points, he w ould. There w ere no five-yard plays in the offense; Jenkins w ant­ ed a touchdown every play. head coach "There w ill probably be some points scored before the kickoff," Texas D avid M cW illiam s joked at his M onday press conference before the game.

The problem is Bledsoe, a redshirt freshman, only stays on the court for three rotations at a time. Her job is to come in as ¡»i»iq yTii ¿™!iiTiiiifTmiTnnir^|Ti|¡|| a blocking force at the net, but when it is her turn to rotate to the back row she is forced out of the game. Because of Bledsoe's lack of ball-handling, takes over the back row duties. SD€ the As soon as Bledsoe gets a couple of blocks and starts to really get into the flow of the game her three rotations are up and she heads back to the bench. "It's really hard to work in a game and get into the flow," Bledsoe said. "The longer you're in the game the easier it is. It's frustrating, but I understand the circumstances." Bledsoe hopes to continue her team's success as the No. 6 Lady Horns (18-6) take on New Mexico (9-11) Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Recreational Sports Center. Texas coach M ick Haley said Bledsoe could be a full-time player if she was a better ball-handler. " If she just continues to work on her ball control she'll eventually be able to stay in there," Haley said. "She's got the quickness to run down the balls, it's what she does with it after she gets to it." A ll Bledsoe has to do is think back to this season's Alum ni game to realize why she is forbidden from the back row. "It was the only time all year I've been in the back," Bledsoe said. " I served the ball in the net and I looked over at Mick and he just gave me this look like, 'That's w hy you don't get to play back there.'" Although she wishes she could be a full-time player, she realizes she has to improve her overall game first "M y passing is my biggest nightmare," Bledsoe said. I like to play defense, digging the ball is fun for me. I just need to work on my ball-handling." W hile the back row may not be Bledsoe's specialty, she excels defensively at the net. She teams up with junior Sonya Barnes to make up what is considered to be one of the best blocking tandems in the country. "It's really exciting to be considered to be among the brat, but I can get so much better," Bledsoe said. "I'm still learning every day. Once I get all the blocking KEVIN L. DELAHUNTY/Daily Texan Staff Lakisha Bledsoe’s job is to be a blocking force. techniques down, I'll be able to get a lot more blocks." She is second in the conference in blocks with 1.39 per game. Although she sneaks in 1.46 kills per game, she prefers to play defense. "Defense is a lot more fun for me than the offense," Bledsoe said. "Blocking a ball is so much more excit­ ing for me than killing it." Coming out of high school, Bledsoe was expected to play a key part in the 1994 season. After the rigor of a month of two-a-day practices, Bledsoe's body started to wear down and she developed what she thought was just shin splints. She saw her only action of the year in the Alum ni game before it was discov­ ered she had a stress fracture of the tibia. The injury sidelined her for the rest of the year and forced her to gO through a disappointing redshirt year.

As expected, the Texas women's tennis team found little opposition in its early-round opponents at the IT A Southwest Regional Cham pi­ onships Thursday. Despite gusty conditions all day, the Lady Horns made short work of their opponents time and again,and simply waltzed into the third round. One of those Lady Horns who cruised to the third round was the tournament's top seed, Farley Tay­ lor. Taylor's first-round match against Kristi Llw ellyn of LSU was a cakewalk. Taylor mixed her shots up well and simply overpowered her outmatched opponent by the score of 6-1, 6-2. Her second-round TEXAS WOMEN'S TENNIS match proved just as easy. Taylor's opponent, Claire Santiago of Arkansas, could find no dents in her armor, resorting desperately to slowball tactics only to see points repeatedly ended by Taylor's big forehand. "D ays like these kind of spell upsets. It's windy, the conditions are bad. The first days of tourna­ ments are always tough. You really have to be ready when you step onto the court or you'll be in trou­ ble," Taylor said. Facing no trouble at all was Christina Moros.
