Bill Bradley with­ drew from the Democratic presidential race, and Arizona Sen. John McCain sus­ pended his campaign in the Republican race Thursday. Although he is dropping out, Bradley said in a speech in New Jersey that he would support Vice President A1 Gore while continuing to ensure a Democratic White House and Congress. "The vice president and I had stiff com­ petition, and he won — I congratulate him — he will be the nominee of the Democratic party, and I support him in his bid to the White House," said. Bradley Bradley said he would continue to work for a "new politics," and for the values he laid out in his campaign. CAMPAIGN 2000 "I mean a politics that is not polluted by money — a politics in which leaders speak from their core convictions and not from the polls or focus groups," he said. "I'm also talking about a politics that lis­ tens more closely to the voices that are not usually heard." Bradley said he would not accept the vice presidency if asked. Harold Cook, a Bradley campaign adviser in Texas, said the biggest chal­ lenge Bradley faced was running against an established candidate. "It's very difficult to run against the sit­ ting vice president in an administration that, by most accounts, voters have judged to be successful — the economy is strong and we have record-low unem­ ployment," Cook said. Cook said he isn't surprised that Bradley decided not to run as vice presi­ dent because "Bradley is a leader in every sense of the wrord." "I wouldn't take this as a reaction to Gore," he said. "I'm sure he concluded that he isn't nght for the job because that is one of the traits of a true leader — they can't do their best unless they're in charge." Doug Hattaway, a spokesman for Gore's campaign, said Gore welcomes Bradley's support and commends him, his wife and all of his supporters. "The primaries have been good for the Democratic Party and for the country," he said. "We've had good debates on issues that matter to voters and the competition has made us stronger." At the same time that Bradley with­ drew, McCain suspended his race against Gov. George W. Bush, who won nine states out of the 13 in Tuesday's primaries.

ASSOCIATED PRESS He got game Lee discusses movie industry at LBJ Matthew Cook Daily Texan Staff The movie industry's fear of lawsuits about crimes caused by violent content is limiting filmmakers' artistic expres­ sion, acclaimed director Spike Lee said at a lecture at the LBJ Auditorium Thursday. "No artist is going to be able to do anything because of this great fear in your mind that someone might go out and try to duplicate exactly what I'm doing in this book, song, whatever," Lee told the audience of more than 1,000. Lee, whose visit was part of televi­ sion station KLRU's Distinguished Speaker Series 2000, has written and directed 11 feature films, including Do The Right Thing, which won Lee an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay, Mal­ colm X, Get on the Bus and, most recently, Summer o f Sam.

"The reason for [the restructuring] is that our administration was creat­ ed about 20 years ago in its current shape, and there have been a lot of changes in those 20 years," Faulkner said. The changes necessary, Faulkner said, because of a more complicated relationship with the are state government and the city. Other factors influencing the adjustment include changes in the role of the president, the University's increased size and the growth of essential areas such as information technolo­ gy- Faulkner added that the presi­ dent's role should be to pay close attention to the University's overall health and priorities, interact with the UT System Board of Regents and strategically m anage resources, including delegating authority to vice presidents.

Pictured above, Man or Astroman perform at 33 Degrees at last year's festival. Fest to deliver wide array of catchy tunes For those who have decided to leave Austin this Spring Break, stay as far away as possible. That way, there will be more great music, unbelievable parties and wild fun for the rest of us. That's right, it's March in Austin, and that can only mean one thing: South by Southwest. For the past 14 years, South by Southw est has consistently delivered hundreds of bands to an eager audience of Austin residents and music indus­ try professionals from a round the world. There are two purposes to SXSW. The first is to give bands, executives, DJs, promoters and jour­ to see nalists a chance w here is headed. The second is to allow aspiring musicians the business to learn their way around to learn their way around the industry or showcase their talent in hopes of par- laying into a their set record contract. For 45 minutes, each act will get its chance to wow the festival participants on one of A ustin's many these stages. Some of bands are promoting soon- to-be-released major-label records, while some will sell you their new disc from the back of their van after the show. Part of the fun is trying to discover who that new star will be. is Few expected Beck to become the amazing star he today, but he impressed enough people during his stay at SXSW six years ago to get "Loser" on every modem rock station in the nation. It's amazing to watch and meet some of the coura- TUNES/Page! SXSW volunteers line up conveyor-belt style in the Austin Convention Center Thursday evening to prepare promotional packages for participants in the SXSW music and film events. Brendan Maloney/D AILY TEXAN STAFF Diverse film fest starts today Peter Debruge Daily Texan Staff The lineup at this year's SXSW film festival is a lot like a box of chocolates: You never know what you're going to get. Crafted by maverick talent without the crutch of beefy Hollywood budgets, these renegade films have been blind- siding unsuspecting moviegoers since 1994, when the SXSW forefathers decided to add film and interactive com­ ponents to their rocking Southern music festival. Austin Chronicle editor Louis Black, who helped build the original festival back in 1987 and now serves as one of its directors, said he relishes the unpredictability the film pro­ gram offers. "The real excitement," Black said, "the times people go home the most jazzed, is when they encounter stuff they didn't know was going to be good beforehand, and it just blows them away." In past years, SXSW has often served as Texas' first look at films hatched at Sundance. With two months' lead time on SXSW, the festival in Park City, Utah, naturally attracts its share of independent productions, but SXSW continues SXSW Web Awards coordinator Brian Davits and volunteer Marcel Meyer, an asset manager for Digital Anvil in Austin, fill promotional kit bags with mini frisbees and bouncing rubbor balls that light up.

Registrants can look forward to seeing many veteran musicians at the festival, including country-western tough guy Steve Earle 4s keynote speaker; Patti Smith at her Waterloo Park show and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones. Don't worry, though SXSW will still feature some of the best and brightest new talent in music today. Rockers Sebadoh, Apples in Stereo, Poster Chil­ dren, Gomez and Whiskeytown will be only a few of the great new bands in town. Hip-hop is also getting some exposure this year as Guru of Gangstarr and Chuck D. of Public Enemy each plan to host showcases featuring great rappers, including Big Daddy Kane, Doug E. Fresh and Tire Jungle Brothers. This year, participants don't even need to be in Austin to enjoy SXSW. Austin's own live music Web site, Club- cast Live (nnimi.clubcastlive.com), will Webcast show's live over the Internet. The site will enable anyone to download the shows of their choice in the clubs of their choice. So even if you're sitting in your beach house in South Padre, you can still expenence this festival. "We w'ant to be able to get the music out there," said Steve Phenix, publicist for Gubcast Live. "Every night we have 17 to 22 different showcases. One thing that's really cool is if you want to see Band A at this bar and Band B at anoth­ er, they'll be there in the archives." Audiences can log onto the site next week or next month and still be able to catch the brightest highlights of the music festival. A representative at South by South­ west said wristbands and badges are still available at the traditional walk-up rate. Wristbands are now $95 and available at Austin Convention Center beginning March 10. A wristband only allows access to concerts. Music badges, which include priority access to all music panels and concerts, are currently $495. The music festival begins March 15 and wTaps up on March 19. Panels and w orkshops will be held durin g the day at the A ustin C onvention C en­ ter. Each n ig ht's show s will be held th ro u g h o u t at m u ltip le venu es A ustin.

"We knew w hen we began this cam paign that ours was a difficult challenge," McCain said. "Last Tues­ day, that challenge became consider­ ably more difficult as a majority of the Republican voters m ade it clear that their preference for president is Gov­ ernor Bush." McCain said he is still dedicated to the "necessary cause of reform.' "Should my party ever abandon this principle, the American people will rightly abandon us, and we will surely slip into the mists of history, deserving the allegiance of none,' he said.

"In order to reform Washington, D.C., it is important to get rid of Qinton-Gore."

"They've been busting their rears. But it's the luck of the draw." Soon after the Americans arrived in Beira Thursday, M ozambican Prime Minister Pascoal Mocumbi flew in and reassured the helicopter crews they had arrived in time. "We need aircraft because there are still lives to be saved," Mocumbi said. "If there is one life to be saved, you're never late." Still, Mocumbi said he took pride that during the most critical phase of the flooding, nearby African states had borne the bulk of the aid opera­ tion. South African helicopters plucked more than 14,000 Mozambicans to safety from the floodwaters while Malawi, one of the world's poorest countries, rescued another 1,100. The tiny kingdom of Lesotho flew in aid supplies. House ties minimum wage increase to $122 billion tax cut Associated Press WASHINGTON — The House voted Thursday for a $1 increase in the mini­ mum wage over two years and a 10- year, $122 billion Republican tax cut intended to soften the impact on busi­ ness. President Clinton is threatening a veto over the tax cuts. The vote was 246-179 for a bipartisan amendment boosting the $5.15-an-hour wage by $1 over two years — a $2,000 raise for a full-time worker. The amend­ ment replaced a Republican plan to increase the wage by $1 over three years. Final passage of the rewritten bill was expected later Thursday. "Three years is simply too long to phase in a minimum wage increase," said Rep. Jim Traficant, D-Ohio, a main sponsor. "An increase of $1 over two years will have an immediate positive impact on thousands of families." Earlier, the Flouse voted 257-169 for the GOP tax bill, two-thirds of it cuts in estate taxes. The Senate has passed a three-year $1 increase in the minimum wage and its own tax package as part of a bill to make it harder for people to escape credit card and other debts in bankruptcy court. Differences in the Senate and House measures will have to be worked out before a bill is sent to Clinton. Many Democrats said the increase was long past due, noting that average pay for corporate chief executive offi­ cers has risen some 750 percent since 1980, compared to only 68 percent for the average worker. About 4 million workers are paid the minimum wage. "Even the modest $1 increase we are debating today is not enough," said Rep. Donald Payne, D-N.J. The measure calls for a 50-cent increase in the minimum wage in April of this year, followed by another 50 cents in April 2001. It is unlikely, how­ ever, that the legislation will become law by April and there has been no talk of making it retroactive. The Senate bill would increase the wage by 35 cents this year, by 35 cents more in March 2001 and 30 cents in March 2002. The Senate tax package totals $103 billion dunng 10 years. House GOP leaders first had to over­ come grumbling from conservatives about the whole package. But it was designed to deny Democrats a stand­ alone wage bill, which has strong sup­ port from Northeastern Republican moderates, and to defuse the minimum wage as a campaign issue in the November elections. Even if the bill meets Clinton's wish for a two-year wage boost, the president repeated Thursday he would veto the measure if it included large tax cuts. Clinton contends the tax relief dispro­ portionately benefits the wealthy and would consume a chunk of the project­ ed budget surplus that could be used to shore up Social Security and Medicare. "Once again, the Republican leader­ ship has derailed what should be a sim­ ple vote on the minimum wage with a maximum of political maneuvering, Clinton said. "Congress should send me a bill I can sign, not one I have to veto.' Republicans, however, contended the tax package would offset the costs to business of raising the minimum wage, which many in the GOP view as a job- killer and hindrance to new investment or expansion. "Our point is simply, let's find some tax relief to cushion the blow," said Rep. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. BENCHMARK RESEARCH Associated Press BEIRA, Mozambique — After sev­ eral days of waiting in neighboring South Africa for the go-ahead, U.S. helicopters touched down Thursday and began speedily delivering thou­ sands of pounds of rice to hungry flood victims. But heavy rains kept aid from most of the country. With aid agencies unable to reach scores of muddy, squalid makeshift cam ps in southern M ozambique, food could run out soon, said Lind­ sey Davies, spokeswoman for the World Food Program. More than a quarter-million people were jammed into camps there. T hursday's day-long dow npour "just made a bad situation worse," D avies said. Forecasters said the rains were expected to continue through Sunday. The shipment by the U.S. Air Force of 15,000 pounds of rice and other aid went smoothly, and forces were able to deliver sacks to villages along the hard-hit Save River valley in central M ozambique, where the sun was shining. U.S. aid had intended to focus on central Mozambique. Continued rain w as a nightmare outside of destitute Mozambique, as well. Aid agencies Thursday rushed food, medicine and blankets to more than 700,000 flood victims in the nearby Indian Ocean island of M ada­ gascar. Flooding in recent weeks has killed 130 people. The U.S. military's relief mission had stalled W ednesday in South Africa as commanders waited for a go-ahead from aid agencies over when and where to deliver aid. Air Force Col. Steve Eddy, head of air operations for the U.S. mission, said lingering problems were resolved in meetings with agency representa­ tives late W ednesday and early Thursday. Air Force troops and aid workers aboard the three U.S. Air Force Black- hawk helicopters that landed in the steamy, M ozambican port city of Beira witnessed the destruction wrought by two cyclones and nearly four weeks of constant rain that began in early February. firsthand As many as a million Mozambi­ cans were m ade homeless or lost their livelihood as the result of the floods. Aid agency officials expect the death toll to soar into the thousands. "There was massive destruction — water still up to the rooftops, trees down, dead animals in the water," said Abby Spring, a WFP spokes­ woman who w as aboard one of the helicopters. Soldiers from other countries already transporting aid were unim­ pressed by the launch of the U.S. mil­ itary's relief effort. "The Hollywood show is here," said one German military' pilot as the commander of the U.S. relief mission, Air Force Maj. Gen. Joseph Wehrle, arrived in Beira aboard a specially equipped C-130 cargo plane. Greet­ ing him were 30 journalists and a wall of television cameras. Several U.S. airmen said they understood that the troops already in place might resent the high-profile arrival of the American forces. "I understand where they're com­ ing from," said Staff Sgt. T.P. Smith, NEWS BRIEFS U.S. jets bomb Iraqi air-defense system ANKARA, Turkey — U.S. war­ planes bombed an Iraqi air-defense system installation Thursday after Iraq fired artillery and targeted the planes with radar during their patrol of the northern no-fly zone, the U.S. military said. Iraq said the strikes injured a civil­ ian. Iraqi forces targeted the allied planes with radar from a site northwest of Tall Afar, 250 miles north of Baghdad, and fired anti-aircraft artillery from a site north of Bashiqah, which is 42 miles farther east, according to a statement by the Germany-based U.S. European Command. All planes left the area safely, the statement said. The planes are based in the southern Turkish base of Incirlik. Iraq's state-run television said the U.S. and British warplanes attacked "service and civilian" sites Thursday, 1 injuring one civilian. It said the planes flew over the northern provinces of Dohuk, Irbil and 'Mosul and fled back to Turkey after being confronted by surface-to-air mis­ siles and anti-aircraft fire. NATO head denies spy leaked plans ANKARA, Turkey — NATO Secre­ tary-General Lord Robertson on Thurs­ day denied reports that a spy within NATO headquarters passed informa­ tion to Serbia on planned air strikes during last year's Kosovo campaign. "We have no knowledge and no evi­ dence that the air tasking order was ever leaked to the Serbs," Robertson told reporters. "We were always sensi­ tive to security and that meant that throughout the campaign we were consistently reviewing security." The British Broadcasting Corp. released details Thursday of a docu­ mentary alleging that a mole supplied information on the allies' strike plans and flight paths in.the first two weeks of the air campaign, allowing Serbs to move troops and equipment away from intended NATO targets. — C om piled from A s so cia te d Press reports WIN $1,000,000 ... w ith o u t having to use up your "Lifeline" didUnet's $1 Million College Basketball Tournament Challenge -REGISTER FREE T O D A Y - w w w .didUnet.com If in the past 36 hours you have had: • Fever, 100° F • Cough, Sore Throat or Runny Nose • Aches, Pains or Headache See us and receive up to $210 This study is to evaluate a potential oral medication for flu.

Mid-March conjures up images of University' students streaming to Can­ cún and South Padre Island, packing six to a room in a ratty beachside motel. The sun is warm, the spirits plentiful, the co-eds receptive. VVe suppose Spring Break getaways are fun if you like that sort of thing. We're not jealous — really. Seriously, we're not jealous. All right, we're jealous. It all sounds fun. University' students, how'ever, could show a little better judgment when choosing their destinations. These days, the MTV veeja\s outnumber students on the Texas Coast. Cancún, on the other hand, looks more like Lakeline Mall than a foreign country. And don't bring back anv more Señor Frog's T-shirts. We get it already. Unfortunately, death and senous injury are also staples of Spring Break. Each year, a few UT students drink themselves into a frenzy, resulting in a serious accident. So, you probably should be careful. If you find yourself crawling into Kentucky Fried Chicken (ah, exotic Cancún!), then you can probably afford to take a breather. About those unmarked “cabs'' — they're not UT DDP. Instead, hitch a ride aboard Cancun's efficient public transportation system (average bus speed: the sound barrier). Have fun. And if someone drops out of your party, give the Editorial Board a call. We love Cancún and South Padre. Really. Except the guy w'ho wrote this editorial — whoever he is. O ppo se T h e T u it io n & F ee H ik e Nationwide studies show universities cutting back full time staff, reducing class availability and transfer­ ring more costs onto the student. Fees are increased incrementally to siphon more money from students in areas previously covered by tuition such as advis­ ing and registration fees. Recently, the University raised tuition and fees up to an additional $420 a year. The day that a possible increase was announced, the University called a meeting to seek “our input." Afterwards, SG composed a survey to gauge stu­ dent opinion, which the administration said they would take into consideration before judging in March. Instead, the administrators made their deci­ sion at the end of February without any further dis­ cussion. And now they expect us to quietly accept our fate, reach deep into our pockets and pay up. Instead, we should wake up and see the pattern of misman­ agement and secretive practices that causes the Uni­ versity to impose on its students to bail them out. The first debatable claim is that we are broke. The University propagates that lie by confusing people with the fact of declining state revenues and ignoring the value of U Ts total capital. The interest off of the Permanent University Fund (PUF), an endowment of which the UT system gets $5 billioa goes into an account called the Available University Fund (AUF). Assuming that the interest rate and actual percentage of money that the UT system gets from this interest is constant from year to year, the amount of money that it would receive just from AUF (one of many resources) this year would be around $103 million. Faulkner says the increase is a one-time deal, but over the last seven years undergraduate tuition has increased by 154-percent vs. 20-percent inflation in the same period. Not to mention a 1,500-percent grad­ uate tuition increase since 1985. As compensation, the administration offered a R o b y n C it iz en G u e s t C o l u m n is t package of increased spending for financial aid. In turn, the university is depending on the state and fed­ eral governments to increase aid by $1 million in Pell grants. The maximum Pell grant awarded in 1997-98 was only $2,700. Not only is this package unable to significantly help underpnvileged students, but this doesn't address students from middle-income fami­ lies that don't qualify for financial aid and will proba­ bly have to take out loans to finance part of their edu­ cation. In 1995-%, 52 percent of students that had taken out loans had an average debt of $11,300. Supposedly the University has lobbyists soliciting the state Legislature for funding in vain and the administration's hands are tied. Yet at the same time, things like administrators' salaries have conveniently risen faster than inflation. Chancellor Cunningham alone received a 40-percent raise over the course of two years. More interesting is the UT Regents have at their disposal a UT-provided and paid-for plane that they use to fly to meetings and to fly themselves and their families to football games. The plane costs $400/hour so the regents can conveniently enjoy the football games. Meanwhile, according to a recent study, 94 percent of UT staff is underpaid. The administration's priorities are skewed. LrI Athletics always gets the funding it needs, but teach­ ing and education have shrunk to occupy only half of the university budget. UT research spending contin­ ues to increase dramatically, and resources are always made available. They use public money to subsidize private research and development ventures for profit that does not get recycled back into our budget. For exam­ ple, the University leases out $46.3 million worth of land and equipment to defend research corporations MCC and Sematech; they pay UT $3 a year in rent. In order to free up capital to support commercial projects, the University reappropriates funding from unprofitable programs and colleges. Liberal arts stu­ dents have to take classes with 100-500 people as the result of PLANNED underfunding of these programs to provide an incentive for transferring to colleges that create profits such as engineering and biochem­ istry. In fact, the University has begun a corporate club in the College of Engineering where multina­ tional companies pay to have complete access to fac­ ulty, staff and students. Personally, I don't want my university holding hands with corporations that manufacture weapons and agencies like the Department of Defense. Can the University pretend that its willingness to let private money infiltrate public education has no effect on the structures or integrity of the programs and colleges that are involved? Students in Mexico and Toronto have set a precedent for us in calling for tuition freezes. We too — SG, students, faculty and staff — must organize against the university taking our money year after year, and claiming that they have no choice - after all, they're broke.

T he F irin g L in e can Indians demonstrat­ ing each Fourth of July. saying that everyone on campus laughs AT The Travesty is a ridiculous overgeneralization. Fear the Fighting Rainbows Is the fact the the University is bailing out of the Sept. 2 Hawaii game bothering anyone else? W hat is this? I didn't even know you could do that. In addition to piss­ ing off everyone who has anything to do with the Uni­ versity of Hawaii athletic department, our esteemed ath­ letics director Mr. Dodds has successfully alienated sure­ ly hundreds of fans who have already purchased non- refundable vacations to go to Hawaii and cheer for the Horns. The University says it would cost $400,000 to take the team (Hawaii's AD says they could arrange it for under $300,000— sounds like we need a new travel agent). And now we have to pay a $100,000 “sorry you decided to blow off the game" fine for the right NOT to take the team. Brilliant. As a fan who attends out-of-town games often, this precedent worries me. Will the University at least set up some kind of a PR office to let fans know which games WILL actually be held so we can make our plans accord­ ingly? And Dodds says he is "sorry" for anyone that has been "inconvenienced." Give me a break. I've seen that guy make some questionable decisions in the last eight years or so (e.g. John Mackovic), but this is a new low. If the athletics departm ent has enough cash to flush $100,000 down the poor-planning toilet, then undoubt­ edly they have enough leftover to refund the expenses of UT fans simply trying to support their team. breaks the rules, you need to have a way to punish them. The ESB may be overzealous at times, but for the most part they are just doing their job. Frankly, I'm glad that [ESB Chair Brian] Ferguson is watching the elections with a hawk eye. The more scru­ tinizing the authorities are, the more fair things will be. I just think that we need to stop complaining about things we know nothing about. We need to either get involved in changing things, or butt out altogether. Graham Davis Plan 11/ Spanish sophomore Incom ing SG one-year at-large rep. Clarification The Texas Travesty offers a satirical and humorous com­ mentary on issues and topics at UT. However, we do not intend to use our power to make comments about spe­ cific individuals at the University. Unfortunately, UT senior Jennifer Fletcher was con­ fused with a fictional character, sophomore Jenny Fletch­ er, in a story in M onday's Travesty. It was not the inten­ tion of the author of the story or The Travesty to make comments regarding Jennifer Fletcher. We regret any confusion that was caused as a result of A ndy Cheetham M usic graduate student this article. Brad B utler Editor, The Texas Travesty Irresponsible views I think that it is very irresponsible of The Texan to encourage UT students not to vote in the SG elections. Not only is this an ineffective way to protest the goings- on (I mean really, is the SG electoral process going to stop because some people aren't voting?), but it's also fairly counterproductive. The way to change the system is to be involved, not become apathetic. Voting is the average citizen's way of voicing an opin­ ion, and to encourage someone not to vote merely fur­ thers the ineffectiveness of the system. While I'm writing about SG, I'd also like to add that we should stop trying to make a scapegoat out of the ESB. People believe that complaining makes them sound pseudo-intellectual (i.e. looking at the world with a crit­ ical eye). Well, sometimes it just makes you sound igno­ rant. All of this talk about pizza is misdirected. The fact is that to have fair elections you need rules. If someone Independence reminders While I agree with James that it is a sad piece of our past that Mexicans were robbed of their land as a result of Texas independence, but I don't see why people feel the need to remind everyone of that each year. What is that going to accomplish? (Aside from aggravating those trying to have a good time celebrating.) Things were very different back then, they had differ­ ent morals and ideas of what should be (and yes more racism). If you really want to think about it, America's Independence Day isn't a much better story. The British came in and stole land from the Indians, and then the colonists fought the British and stole it from them. If you ask me, the American Indians got the real raw deal — at least Mexicans still have a country to call their own. We took ALL of the Indian's land — but I don't see Ameri­ I was born in Texas and have lived here all my life. I'm proud to be a Texan, I'm proud of what this state has become and the future it holds for itself. This state has become, in my completely biased opinion, one of the best. And I think that's worth celebrating. After all, if Texas had never won it's independence you wouldn't be going to school here since there would be no University of Texas. So next year, instead of shouting about what we did wrong, let's celebrate what we've done right. We all might enjoy the celebration just a little more. Brian Jones Computer science sophomore The election charade I have noticed this week that The Texan has been tak­ ing some heat for its stand on the Student Government issue. I, for one, applaud you. It takes courage to take such a bold stance on such a touchy issue. During a year when the government’s validity will be precarious due to the undemocratic nature of the elec­ tions, it will be refreshing that the paper has decided not to give SG prominence over other groups. In an attempt to bring the student body together, the SG has done just the opposite, and hopefully, other organizations will step into places of greater importance. Again, congratulations Daily Texan for not waffling on the issue. I hope you approach future controversial subjects with the same gusto and passion as you have with this year's election charade. Meagan Goldberg Pre-Design Freshman Travesty criticism unfair To the two gentlemen who complained yesterday about The Travesty being a waste of time: if you don't like it, don't read it. I promise you, it is that simple. You say that it “takes up a small piece of our lives that we will never get back." Then why would you read it? If you don't like reading it, it shouldn't take up that small piece of your lives. And contrary to your comment that "50,000 students laugh at The Travesty and not with it," there are many people on campus who actually appreci­ ate the humor found in The Travesty. To make a comment You said that you “even tried to roll joints with the paper" — it's quite obvious by your letter that you are smoking something.

The Bill of Rights bestowed upon us two assets that we still hold dear today: the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. It is the right of you, as a citizen, to speak your thoughts, and the right of the Texas Stu­ dent Publications to publish The Travesty. No wrong has been committed here. The sad thing is that it took two people to write this sorry ass excuse for a complaint. As for your constant complaining (i.e. reading The Travesty takes up a small piece of our lives that we will never get back.) Who strapped your sorry asses into a chair and made you read it? Also, an editorial consists of suggestions of how to repair the problem, and I have a few suggestions for you. The next time your eyes peruse The Daily Texan and you find The Travesty, don't read it if it puts you in such pain. Second, The Travesty is the University's ONLY humor publication. If you don't like it, get your three closest "funny" friends and start your own humor publication. Oh, and as TEX always states, "Goodbye and Good Luck" because editing a paper isn't easy!

Students protested the removal of the senior lecturer in Arabic studies and the elimination of her position this week, charging that the move would deplete Arabic language resources. Aman Attieh, whose position will be closed at the semester's end and replaced by a tenured associate professor position, was not named to the finalist list of those to be interviewed for the new position. About 30 members of Student Advocates of Arabic at UT, which was formed in November when students found out about the new position, rallied in front of the Harry Ransom Hum anities Research Center Wednesday and Thursday. SAAUT members said the new associate professor posi­ tion, which will be held by a lin­ guist who will not teach lan­ guages would exclusively, decrease the departm ent's atten­ tion to Arabic language training. Sameena Karmally, a Middle ing a linguist, leaving us wondering who is going to teach our language classes.” Sameena KarmaHy, MkMe Eastern Studies graduate student — Eastern Studies graduate student and member of SAAUT, said she is concerned about the quality of education for students learning Arabic. “They're bring our language teacher and hiring a linguist, leaving us wondering who is going to teach our language class­ es," Karmally said. SAAUT members claim that they have signed petitions and requested meetings to address concerns about the removal of Attieh's position and were met with “resistance, intim idation and condescension." The chairman of the Depart­ ment of M iddle Eastern Lan­ guages and Cultures, Harold Liebowitz, declined to comment Thursday. Chris Micklethwait, an English and Arabic senior, said the rallies have been effective in making people aware of the situation. “I think it is drawing attention, but we've gotten no official response," Micklethwait said. Michael Hillmann, a professor of Persian studies and member of the committee that makes final recommendations about the posi­ tion to the department chair, said the committee voted not to grant Attieh an interview, although Attieh's was the only file that was complete by the Nov. 31 applica­ “It surprised me that her name did not appear on the list of qual­ ified candidates suggested and recommended for interviews," Hillmann said. "It has nothing to do with me being a friend of Attieh — only with the hie." Attieh, who will leave the Uni­ versity at the end of the semester, said she is hurt by the decision. “I put the program on good footing by applying the latest research language teaching," Attieh said. “I think I've done a lot." foreign in Attieh said she has mixed feel­ ings about the protests, but she said she thinks they show that she has served the University and her students well. Attieh and Peter Abboud, a senior professor of Arabic, are the only two language teachers in the four-year Arabic program, in which 75 students are enrolled. UNIVERSITY BRIEFS TxDOT warns of Spring Break delays The Texas Departm ent of Trans­ portation is warning Texas college to C orpus students Christi and South Padre Island to w atch out for construction on Interstate Highway 37. traveling Delays also are predicted on IH- 37 south of San Antonio between the B exar/A tascosa C ounty line and Pleasanton. O ngoing construction taking place on this seven-mile stretch of highway has traffic reduced to one lane southbound, and two shoul- derless lanes on the northbound side. Travelers are being urged to use alternate routes US 281 and US 181 to avoid excessive delays on IH-37. A reduced speed limit of 50 mph has been posted, though TxDOT spokeswom an Ximena Copa-Wig- gins said it is just advisory. The official limit is still 70 mph. Copa-Wiggins said about 15,600 vehicles typically travel daily on the stretch of IH-37 betw een Pleasanton and the B exar/A tas­ cosa County line.

New school to be named after Paredes The Brownsville Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to name a new ele­ mentary school honoring Américo Paredes, former UT professor and Brownsville native considered an expert in Texas folklore. Paredes, a for­ mer UT professor emeritus died at 83 from natural caus- A m é ric o P a re d e s es in May 1999. He is the founder of the Center for Mexican American Studies and the Center for Intercultural Studies of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at the University. The school is scheduled to be com­ pleted by June 2001 and will be located on Paredes Line Road in Brownsville. “I see [Paredes] as a cultural icon," said Joe Colunga, vice president of the district's board of trustees. "Someone of in my perspective, that stature, deserves recognition." Paredes' contributions to folklore inspired scholars worldwide to explore Mexican-American culture, Colunga said. The Brownsville elementary school is the second to be named in Paredes' honor. An Austin middle school on David Moore Drive changed its name last April.

Booking move raises doubts Ashley Kosiewicz Daily Texan Staff A proposal to relocate operations of the Travis County Central Booking Facility to the intersection of 11th and Nueces streets is under fire from surrounding residents and schools who say the relocation would put the community in danger. Austin Police Chief Stan Knee briefed the ’Austin City Council Thursday morning con­ cerning plans to relocate operations of the cur­ rent 7th Street Central'Booking Facility to the soon-to-be-completed Travis County Crimi­ nal Justice Center on 11th and Nueces streets. Citing inmate overcrowding, facility design constraints, lack of adequate parking and cur­ rent noncompliance with state jail standards, Knee said the county's intention is to consoli­ date its operations in the new Justice Center forecasted for completion in September. But residents and representatives from three area schools — Pease Elementary School, The Phoenix School and the Rio Grande Campus of Austin Community Col­ lege — are worried that the proposal would create an unsafe situation for residents and students in the area. Noalie Watson, vice principal of Pease Ele­ mentary School on 11th and Rio Grande streets, said shifting operations to the Justice Center will introduce the community to potentially dangerous people. "We're concerned about the safety of our children," Watson said. "We're really con­ cerned because they're outside and on the playground and our building is open to any­ one." As identified in the presentation, after arrest and arraignment, prisoners are held at the central booking facility for processing. Short-term prisoners are released either on a "promise to appear" or after posting bail. Esti­ mates in the presentation indicated that 113 people are released daily from the facility. Debra Desrosiers, assistant director for The Phoenix School, a preschool, said the high number of law offenders leaving the facility every day endangers the safety of children in close vicinity. "My main question is who is going to take responsibility for the safety of these little ones," Desrosiers said. "If concerns rise to a point where parents don't feel safe leaving their children here, a school that's been here for 15 years is going to close their doors, and that's a travesty." According to statistics from the 7th Street Central Booking Facility, 76,855 charges were processed from October 1998 to August 1999. Felonies accounted for 9,541 charges, Class A and B misdemeanors for 23,722 charges, and Class C misdemeanors for the remaining 43,592. The relocation is one of four options being considered to address the county's concerns. A second option, favored by the schools and residents, would renovate the existing facility on 7th Street. Initial renovation costs are esti­ mated at $1.5 million to $2.5 million, in addi­ tion to an operating cost of $2.7 million. In comparison, relocation would cost about $2.55 million. Costs for both projects would be paid with dty funds. While Councilman Daryl Slusher said his initial impressions lean to the second option. Councilman Bill Spelman said he is not will­ ing to rule out relocation if viable mitigation measures are taken. Spelman said the APD is looking at meas­ ures to develop efficient transportation of arrestees, provide a bus system for released persons and assign a county neighborhood liaison to the area. "The neighborhood was there first," Spel­ man said. "But it is imaginable that we could do this in a way that this would happen in the background, and that it would not interfere with the lives of the people." Spelman said additional measures that could stipulate different levels of precautions taken for varying kinds of offenses and increased booking of arrestees by officers out in the streets could lessen other concerns.

Review group named Appointees to address social equity concerns Ashley Kosiewicz Daily Texan Staff The Austin City Council finalized the appoint­ ments of 15 people Thursday to a social equity committee that will conduct a comprehensive local review of income inequality in the city. The council's appointments are intended to mirror a cross-section of Austin and will address areas such as wage disparity, child care and access to technology. Appointees consist of rep­ resentatives from the local AFL/CIO, the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, ethnic and women's chambers of commerce and at-large Austin residents and business owners. According to a 1998 study produced by ICF Kaiser, a San Francisco-based economic think tank, the gap between the lowest-paid and high­ est-paid workers in Austin more than doubled in the 1990s. The study, titled The Next Century Economy Report, showed that two of every three new private-sector jobs created in Austin since 1990 pay wages below the city's average. The council planned on finalizing appoint­ ments last Thursday, but Councilman Willie Lewis and Mayor Pro Tern Jackie Goodman voiced concerns that the then 13-member com­ mittee was not adequately representative of the Austin community. Responding to concerns that there was neither a black chamber nor Community Action Net­ work representation on the committee, two addi­ tional members were added to the final list. Appointments to the commission are: ■ Chair Ray Marshall, UT professor and for­ mer U.S. Secretary of Labor ■ Chris King, Louis Malfaro and Mike Mur­ phy, AFL-CIO representatives ■ Leo Dunn, Tom Kenney and Jewel Parker, Greater Chamber of Commerce representatives ■ Travis County Judge Sam Biscoe ■ Pat Hayes, Seton Healthcare Network rep­ ■ Paul Ellis, Community Action Network rep­ resentative resentative ■ Earl Mosly, Sal Valdez, Jennifer Kim and Dr. Penny Green, ethnic and women's chambers representatives, and ■ Rachel Davila, owner of Nuevo Leon Restaurant. Councilman Daryl Slusher said he is pleased with the appointment of Marshall as chairman, as well as with the other appointees. But Kirk Becker, an Austin resident and mem­ ber of the city's homeless task force, said the appointments are disappointing because they do not consist of any employees in the Austin work­ force or neighborhood representatives. "It's very unusual for any city commission not to have a neighborhood representative," Becker said.

Documentary exposes family abuse . 0 horrible crime. Erin Steele Daily Texan Staff There have been innumerable films that have dramatized court cases. There have been few that have actually acted as them. Just, Melvin, a documen­ tary in competition at SXSW (Conven­ tion Center, Mar. 12, 3 p.m.; Conven­ tion Center, Mar. 15, 3:15 p.m.; Alamo, Mar. 17,6:30 p.m.) allows one family to prosecute the man — father, uncle, grandfather — who repeatedly molest­ ed them and ultimately got away with it. Not only did he get away with abus­ ing his family, but also with the murder of a social worker sent to protect them. Outrage over the fact that Melvin Just never spent a day in jail for those crimes motivated his grandson, James Ronald Whitney, to füm a documen­ tary chronicling the abuse inflicted on his family. "G randpa Just forced m y whole family to deal with his abuse, and most of them, in dealing with it, chose sui­ cide attempts, especially my mother," Whitney said. "I grew up as a kid con­ stantly aware that my m other was going to die at any moment, she was so suicidal. As I got older, I learned he was the reason she had these urges to attempt suicide, and I hated him for th.it. The only way I could find justice, since the court system failed, was to let m y family basically serve as the w it­ nesses and let the audience serve as the m - Just, Melmn was screened at the Sun­ dance Film Festival earlier this year, where Roger Ebert described it as "not the first documentary about family abuse, but probably the most painful." Whitney said he believes his film is one of the most honest and credits his fam­ ily, which he describes as unendingly brave and courageous, w ith its success. "W hen they learned that there was a chance that this film could help people, they they went through," W hitney said. "I'm not sure that has been done before. This has been a taboo subject, really, I guess, for­ ever. So if it was shown to audiences, typically it was sugar-coated, some­ what soft-handed to them. My film is not either of those things." told everything Whitney said no one in his family discouraged him from proceeding with the picture, despite their trepidation. They knew that they would have to tap into situations that have haunted them forever, memories of abuse that are present every day of their lives. But Whitnev convinced his family that Just, Melvin would provide them with a sense of closure, and if nothing else, to finally "get it all out." film that also is a attempts to act as a trial for the audi­ ence. In an era where filmgoers are characterized as being desensitized, Whitney hopes to reverse the trend. He said that he wants to sensitize the coun­ try — possibly even the world — to a Just, Melvtn The hardest scene for him to film, Whitney said, is the one in which his suicide talks about her m other attempts. "Even now, when she is in the cine­ ma next to me, and the scene com es in, it's very emotional, because she feels so guilty," Whitney said. Just, Melvin is currently in competi­ tion at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and after SXSW wall head to the Cleveland International Film Festival. Whitney said the most important thing is that his family is not perceived as "a bunch of flat people who go around and think of nothing but the abuse they suffered." He wanted to portray the intelligence and strong sense of humor that his family possess­ es. "I wanted to show us at picnics laughing, doing cartwheels, just crack­ ing up the way all families do. There are some very, very campy, ridiculous moments in the film too, past television shows and things I appear on," W hit­ ney said. "It's the entertainment indus­ try, and you can't lose sight of that car there will be no audiences watching this movie. To have subject matter as intense as this fall into entertainment is a very tricky sort of puzzle — and I hope the audience agrees with m e that I was able to accomplish that." Steph an ie R.

Weber Daily Texan Staff tourney title since 1994, when it was a member of the Southwest Conference. HOOPS. i r s M P E KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A spot in the champi­ onship game would have been enough reason for Edwina Brown to euphorically chuck the ball up towards the rafters at the final buzzer. Who she had to beat to get there only made her hurl it a little higher. Since the Longhorns have abruptly decided this postseason to play the defense and team­ work that they couldn't string together for more than three games all year, Thursday night at Municipal Auditorium they went ahead and did something else that they could never seem to pull off. > Men's and women's tourney brackets, page 11 Texas Tech, Texas continued its improbable nm of upsets through the Big 12 Tournament by wal­ loping the Red Raiders, 68-50 in the semifinal round of the conference tourney. But as if beating the team that humiliated them on the road and shattered their confidence at home wasn't enough, there was an added bonus to the Horns — revenge. With the win, Texas — the sixth seed in the tournament — will now face top-seeded Iowa State on Saturday to play for the tournament championship. "It's that much more [sic] sweeter that it was Tech," said Brown, who scored a quiet 14 points in the win. "You remember the game in Lubbock where they completely embarrassed us and the one in Austin in double overtime where we played so hard and we still lost. You just have to believe." But following the biggest upset in the history of the conference tournament, it was the Red Raiders who were left disbelieving.

Maybe one day head coach Rick Barnes will get Chris Mihm will swing open the door to a media room, duck his head under the frame and slug­ gishly plod over to the interview table. There, the 7-foot tall center will plop down in a seat, slide a microphone in front of his face and pan across the room, just slow enough for every single reporter to see the pain in his eyes. Then, right before someone has the chance to ask why he doesn't show more emotion on the court, Mihm will put both hands up, palms out, and sig­ nal for the questioning to cease before it ever begins. He'll stand up, stare into dead silence, allowing the drama build. And when the moment feels right, Mihm will drop his arms down to his waist, peel off his No. 4 jersey and reveal a bruise the size of Africa and a chest littered with tomato-red welts. That's what Barnes wants. To show the world what Mihm goes through each time he takes the floor. The 40-minute battering he receives. The beaten-up body that proves he isn't soft. Because right now no one is convinced, and only Mihm seems to fully understand his suffering. "It's tough. My legs get beat up. I try to move through the lane and get blasted by two or three people," said Mihm of the regular supply of pointy elbows and bony knees he encounters during games. "There are days when my muscles just ache, but it's all part of basketball and something you get used to. I just try to take care of my body. So far I've never missed a game, and I hope to con­ tinue that trend." After the Big 12 Tournament, which will see the No. 13 Horns' debut tonight against Colorado in a second-round game, and the NCAA Tournament, Mihm will have to decide whether he wants to extend that trend in college or bypass his senior season at Texas for a career in the NBA. The junior All-American candidate, who has pro teams slobbering all over his abilities, would likely be a top-five pick and the possible number one selection overall if he chooses to leave school early and declare for the draft. This, of course, is one of the most important choices of Mihm's life and the most anticipated decision in Austin since a fella nam ed Ricky Williams elected to return to Texas for his final of eligibility. So listen up scouts, basketball fans and common, everyday people who are losing sleep over Mihm's uncertain status — as of Thursday he is 100 percent certain that he still doesn't have clue what lies in his future. "I honestly don't even know," Mihm said. "It's w hat's going to be the best decision for me at this point in my life. It's what I'm going to enjoy. It's going to take days to sit down and think about, because I want to make sure I make the right deci­ sion and not feel rushed about it." The common belief is that there is a 50/50 chance that Mihm will be back in a Texas uniform for the 2000-2001 season, and his judgment will depend largely on how far Texas advances in the Tournament. But whether it's a few weeks down the line or year from now, Mihm will end his career as one the greatest Longhorns ever. Mihm has posted gaudy numbers for the Horns ever since his freshman year when he averaged 12.4 points and eight rebounds per game, set a single-season school record with 90 blocked and was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman team. His sophomore year, Mihm upped his numbers to 13.7 points and 11 rebounds per contest, aver­ aging a double-double per game and earning all- Big 12 honors. This season, the junior's point-production has skyrocketed to 17.8 ppg, while his rebounds per game have remained in double figures (10.4). His 256 career swats shatters the former UT all-time blocked shots record of 236, held by Albert Burditt. He sports a Big 12 Conference best 17 double-doubles in 29 games. And he is the only player in Longhorn histo­ ry to register 1,100 career points, 800 rebounds and 200 blocks. Mihm is a finalist for both the Wooden and Naismith national college basketball player of the year awards and is certain to earn all-Big 12 accolades again. All these credentials just begging be boasted about. Yet to MIHM/Page 11 Standing Tall > Texas center Chris Mihm has steadiy improved over his three seasons patroBmg the pain! for ffte Longhorns.

By all accounts, the meet probably will come down to the 4x400, and the Horns are the favorite to win the championship. But what happens before that final event starts on Sat­ urday night will be just as important, and the Horns' daily planner for the next two days looks something like this: Friday, 7:15 p.m. The Texas women will be behind, although probably not by more than 10 points, when junior Nicole Hoxie gets set in the blocks. Hoxie should be the first Longhorn to advance to the final of her event, the 60-meter hurdles. Hoxie's best time of 8.16 places her seventh in the field at nationals, and the Horns are count­ ing on her to step up and place in the top five. Friday, 7:55 p.m. Forty minutes after the 60-meter hurdles, Texas hopes to bring in more points with the duo of sopho­ more Lakeesha White and freshman Aleah Williams, both of whom stand a chance to add mid-range points to the Horns' total in the 200 meters.

They also w ondered how the Longhorns would respond to losing a corps of All-Americans who had brought the Texas program to the top of the national heap. Then, they wondered just how good coach Bev Kearney's highly- touted freshman class was. Now, a year of wondering and waiting is almost over, as the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Champi­ onships start Friday in Fayetteville, Ark. But after all this time, it looks like everyone will have to wait until the very last event to find out which team will take home the trophy.

W illiam Rutladga/DAILY TEXAN STAFF P a ge 10 T h e D a ily T exan Friday, March 10, 2000 LONGHORN FOOTBALL NOTES No hard feelings? Chances are that by the time Texas head coach Mack Brown sets foot on Hawaii's sandy beaches, hell will have frozen over. At least that seems to be the case with all the love that Brown is receiving from the islands. On Thursdav. it was announced that the Hula Bowl has decided to uninvite the Texas head coach to next year's game, which takes place at the end of bowl season, after Brown's team backed out of a Sept. 2 trip to Hawaii to play the Rainbow Warriors. Of course, this was all news to Brown, who didn't even know that he was invited in the first place. "They never invited me, so I don't know how they could un­ invite me," the head coach said after Thursday's scrimmage. "They had called me to do it two years ago, but I wasn't able to, so I was hoping to go some other time." Brown has not heard from the Hula Bowl, and he also said that he holds nothing against state. "I love H aw aii," he said. "I would love to be able to go there because I know the people there are great, and when we decided to can­ cel the game, it had nothing to do with the school or the people there. But I have heard nothing about the Hula Bowl." Thursday's Speaking of beaches intrasquad scrim ­ mage could have easily been a nightmare for Mack Brown under the circumstances. The Texas head coach knew that his players would be thinking about Spring Break rather than football, and since that was the case, there was a chance that his team would put forth an unsatis­ factory effort at Royal-Memorial Stadium. But Brown's worries were all for not because his players did just fíne. "W ith everything coming up, 1 had some concerns about today's scrimmage," Brown said. "But our plavers were focused, and they played really hard. This team plays with a lot of enthusiasm, and I real­ ly like that, but I don't know that we are a good team yet." The running backs were proba­ bly the brightest stars on offense as Hodges Mitchell led the pack by coming up with a 49-vard run early in the scrimmage. Victor Ike also had an impressive 37-vard sprint, and Ivan Williams did his usual tacklers, as he rum bling over gained 28 vards on four carries to go along with a touchdown. But the scrimmage was mostly dominated bv the defense, as Kris Stockton was forced to kick three field goals, one of which he nailed from 49 vards. "I thought our defense played a lot better today," Brown said. "It's nice to see that we are starting to develop some depth, but to know that Casey Hampton and Lee Jack­ son are still on the sideline when those guys are doing well, that makes you feel pretty good." Now you are a man As the tank that is Ivan Williams came rumbling towards him, cor- nerback Roderick Babers knew that he had a couple of choices. His first and probably best option would be to just push the 6- foot 2-inch, 230-pound running back out of bounds, or if Babers was in a daring mood, he could just throw himself at Williams' legs and hope for the best. But either way he was going to have to do something. "I was the only one out there when he was coming towards m e," Babers said. "I knew no one was going to come over and save me, so I had to make that tackle one way or another." But somehow, none of those pre­ viously mentioned options became a realitv for the cornerback. Of all those easy choices that he had, the sophomore decided to take the run­ ning back head-on instead. And believe it or not, Babers won. "After I brought him down, all I thought was that I am a man today," said the cornerback, who weighs some 55-pounds lighter than Williams. "W hen he was com­ ing at me, I not only had second thoughts about tackling him, but I also had third and fourth ones too. But it turned out to be a good tack­ le for me." Prime target With Kwame Cavil taking his act to the NFL, Texas quarterbacks will be looking for a new favorite target in 2000. And it appears that Artie Ellis might just be that guy. The 6-foot 4-inch receiver has proven to be Chris Simms' most potent option this spring, and on Thursday that continued to be the case as Ellis came up with a couple of receptions. "We've been working together prettv well this spring," Ellis said. "I was redshirted last year so I did­ n't get to work with his that much, but we have definitely starting clicking in the spring." Ellis also showed that he could be an option in the running game for the Horns, as he ran two end- arounds on Thursday, one of which went for a 26-yard gain. "I just saw daylight on that one," Ellis said. "I don't think I have ever seen that much daylight since high school, so I tried to turn on the jets." — compiled by Damien Pierce, Daily Texan Staff Tennis embarks on long road trip Jeff Sturdevant D aily Texan S taff A fter an im pressive shutout the Texas against Florida State, men's tennis team (8-2) begins con­ ference play this weekend. The Horns, ranked No. 14 in the nation, start the Big 12 season with what could be a difficult string of road tests. Texas takes on Texas Tech on Saturday, Nebraska on Monday and Colorado on Wednesday before battling non-conference opponent Georgia on Friday to end a grueling spring break trip away from home. Unfriendly atmospheres might be reason for concern for Texas. Not only does everyone in the Big 12 put an 'X ' on their match with Texas, but actual venues and location might draw concern as well. The Texas Tech match in Lubbock will be played at a high school while their new tennis complex is being built. Nebraska's Woods Tennis Cen­ ter can be intimidating to say the least, and the altitude in Boulder, Colo., could hinder the Horns as it does many. But these concerns aside, Texas seems poised for anything thrown at them. Texas ow ns convincing records against the teams they will face over the break. Texas is 47-2-2 against Texas Tech, 4-1 against Nebraska TEXAS MEN'S TENNIS and a clean 4-0 against Colorado. But Texas is 2-11 against Georgia, who is ranked No. 22 in the nation. The last time the I lom s beat Georgia was in 1978. "W e've been practicing a lot," says Texas assistant coach Trey Phillips. "This is what practicing is for. It's time to tee it up." Phillips describes this year's team as an "interesting mix." This is true considering Brandon Hawk, only a sophomore, anchors the No. 1 spot on the team. Add to this the fact that three players on this year's roster are brand new to the team, with two of them not joining the team until this past January, and you have a diverse group. And don't forget the solid senior play of Nick Crowell and Michael Blue, w ho w ere named doubles players of the month by the Interna­ tional Tennis Association after going 6-1 in February while capturing the Rolex Indoor Tournament title. "They fight," says Phillips of the young Texas team. "That's all you want. They are a great bunch." And as for the keys to Big 12 con­ ference success, Phillips says, "We have to be ready for anything. It's our biggest challenge." Men’s golf ready for another road tourney in Las Vegas Team battles each other to win coveted annual trip Jeremy Bailey Daily Texan Staff They were playing golf the way it was meant to be — climbing the hills of a West Austin golf course one foot in front of the other, sweat pouring down their faces just days before playing the Nevada desert. in They didn't get the luxury of a golf cart to haul them up and down the twisting fairways of the River Place Country Club. They were doing it the old-fashioned way. And although only five of them would travel to Las Vegas to com­ pete in the UNLV Intercollegiate at the Desert Inn Country Club this weekend, all nine members of the Texas men's golf team were play­ ing like it was the last round of their lives. No one wanted to be left out of the annual excursion to Sin City. "I've never seen anything like it," said sophomore Matt Brost, referring to a show the team had watched before last year's tourna­ ment. The show featured amazing human feats seen only under the bright lights of the Vegas Strip. is really crucial "Being able to have a relaxing tournam ent I think," he added. "Y ou're not going there in a rush, getting to know the course quickly. If you go there early you can slowly get to know the course and be able to concentrate and be able to relax, too. We miss a lot of school, so it also gives us a little bit of time to TEXAS work on homework." To gauge who's playing best before a tournament, the team com petes in several qualifying rounds to help determine who makes the traveling squad. And on Sunday at River Place, it didn't take long for the competi­ tion to come to a head. As each group finished the ninth hole, the players curiously congregated at the top of a stone- faced ledge on the backside of the ninth green overlooking the end­ less forest-lined hills and million- dollar homes of West Austin. They had played the back nine first and ended their round at the most scenic of destinations on the golf course. "W hat did you guys shoot?" said a tired Brandon Huffman. The most discernible answer was that of sophomore John Klauk who shot a 69 just two weeks after making his first collegiate hole in one at Hawaii. But it came as a surprise to no one. "John Klauk definitely needs to maximize his talent because he is one very, very, very talented per­ son," said head coach John Fields. Brost won the automatic spot, shooting a 69 and 64 in the first two rounds of qualifying at the Austin Country Club to ensure his place this week. Fields chose the three other open spots on factors such as experience and recent per­ formance, as well as their qualify­ ing scores. Sophomore David Gossett — who beat Georgia Tech's Bryce Molder in a two-hole playoff at Desert Inn last year to capture the individual title — was also guar­ anteed a spot in the lineup for Texas. Gossett won the title on the final putt of the tournament when he sank a 15-footer to edge Molder. Both G ossett and M older had tough putts on the second hole of the playoff that made it appear like the it would go to a third. M older's ball was sitting just inch­ es outside of Gossett's ball on the same line, but Molder missed the double-breaking put, allow ing Gossett to step up and read the putt perfectly. "Throughout the week he had putted very w ell," Fields said. "And that was in the end why he won the golf tournament." Gossett was in Nashville last weekend to accept an award from the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame as its 1999 Amateur Athlete of the Year after winning the '99 U.S. Amateur. Freshman J.J. Wall and sopho­ more Russell Surer were slated M onday by Fields along with Klauk, Brost and Gossett to make the trip to Las Vegas. And w'hen they tee off today, they'll join 16 of the nation's top 25 players and seven of top 10 teams, including No. 1 Georgia Tech, which has won its last two tourna­ ments behind Molder and Matt Kuchar. Baseball Continued from page 9 head into this w eekend's series against a not-so-hot Jayhawk team that finished 10th in the conference a year ago, only beating out Iowa State by a game. The Jayhawks are 12-5 on the year to go along with a 2-1 conference mark, but they've done it against such powers as Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Baker University. Pause for a minute to think about that. Texas, in the meantime, will face the Jayhawks with a 17-4 mark over­ all, and the team has won the last six m eetings (that's six good days) vs. Kansas. The Horns are also currently tied with Baylor for second place in the Big 12 with a record of 5-1, as Okla­ homa (3-0) leads the conference by mere percentage points. Thus, the Horns have gotten off to a solid start in conference play, and there is no reason why that should­ n 't continue since Texas has won 11 straight at the Disch. But there is a secret to the Horns' success. And that key is that they have simplified the season. Tne Horns aren't worrying about w hat went wrong in the past, and they aren't peeking down the road to see who is on deck after Kansas and its im aginary mascot. Instead, they are just taking it one day at a time. "T hat's what it is all about," Texas shortstop Todd West said. "I could­ n't tell you who we are playing next week because all we are worrying about is the fact that we have Kansas right now. So we need to come out and play that game because at the moment, that is all that matters." The Jayhawks don't exactly bring a squad that will blow the Horns' hair back, after all they do come from a state that is more accustomed to dribbling a ball rather than throw­ ing it. But that's the point. Though Kansas doesn't deliver images of a College World Series contender, they are just as deadly as any team Texas will face this year. At least that is the case in the minds of the Longhorns. "Anyone can beat you on a given day," Ontiveros said. "So you have to be ready to play that day or you are going to to get beat. It's all about being ready to play that day, not tomorrow." Of course, the Horns didn't just come up with this moment of zen while sitting around the locker room and sharing their inner most feelings about the game of baseball. The philosophy has been instilled by Texas head coach Augie Garrido, who has preached it over and over to them like a broken record. And in doing so, he has developed a team that is not pressing for wrins, but rather they are just winning. "It's just about the game," Garrido said. "It's not related to the past, and it's no related to revenge if the team w e're playing has beaten us previ­ ously. It's just about us and playing the game that we have that day because we need to go out and try to beat whoever that opponent is that day. That's no disrespect to Kansas or any other team that we play, but we're just putting it on ourselves." However, there is some link to the past or else the Horns wouldn't have needed to search for that inner strength. And it all goes back to last year. Texas lost its focus a year ago after a strong start and went into a tail- spin at the end of the season, as the team lost eight of the last 10 games that it played in. "I wasn't with the team last year, so I don't know exactly what hap­ pened," West said. "But I know this year we're just playing every game as they come, and that is what has helped us get off to a good start." And so far it doesn't appear that Texas is just blooming to only have another late-season meltdown. Texas' pitching staff has looked very strong posting a team ERA of 2.95, and the bats have come to life for a team average of .295, as the Horns are developing a team that consistently produces every game. Add to that the mentality that has been instilled by Garrido, and it appears that everything is falling into place instead of falling off the earth. "W e're playing baseball now," said Texas pitcher Beau Hale, who will take the mound on Friday against Kansas southpaw Pete Smart. "We know we can win as long as we play our game, and hope­ fully down the road, we can get that Big 12 crown and rings because that is our goal." And they're making their way there, one good day at a time. Bobcats thwart Horns again Despite more offense, Texas loses to SWT for second time Jonathan Green Daily Texan S ta ff SAN MARCOS — So much for the revenge factor. Texas may have been looking to avenge a loss to Southwest Texas a week ago, but due to faulty defense, the Homs were unable to snatch a w'in from the Bobcats Wednesday in San Marcos, as they fell 4-3 to SWT. Usually the Longhorns (12-14-1) find their defense as a strength while they struggle at the plate. Wednes­ day things were vice versa, as they put three runs on the board, but allowed four Bobcats to score, large­ ly in part to a whopping three errors. "Today was very frustrating," Texas head coach Connie Clark said. "W e perform ed well offensively, which was definitely a positive for our team. Unfortunately, we were still unable to make all of our defen­ sive plays." Texas got on the board first in the Men’s Track Continued from page 9 to get our team the points,"' said Davis, who already holds the NCAA indoor record with his clearance of 19 feet, 2 1 /4 inches at last year's NCAA meet. "Then, I will experi­ ment to see how high I can go." Also sure to make a definite impact on how high Texas finishes is David Aaron, who is the only Long­ horn com peting two events. Aaron will run the 400 meters and anchor Texas' 4x400-m eter relay team. in "I've been to the NCAAs before, so I know how to act this tim e," said Aaron, who competed in the same events in the 1999 outdoor NCAAs but failed to score in either event. "Last year, I went into nationals with two weeks of no track training since I was in spring football. But this year, I have been able to focus com­ pletely on my races." Texas' 4x400 team qualified based on their performance at the Big 12 championships, where they placed fourth. However, their time was the fifth-fastest in the country this year. "We are very familiar with who our competition is," said Terrence Wakefield, who will run the third leg of the relay race.

The H om s will see their next action Wednesday against No. 4 Arizona State. ning against OU, A&M and Baylor for the past three years, and we know what we have to do to keep up with them." Other members of the relay team include Calvin Williams and Brian Rue, who will start the race. "I am more of a distance runner, so I try to hang with the sprinters on the first lap, and then I make up ground on the second, because my time barely drops off," Rue said. "We want to at least finish as high as our national position [fifth] to score some points for the team as a whole." One thing Texas has on its side is experience, as only freshman Jer­ maine Cooper in the 60-meter hur­ junior college transfer dles and Lawrence Arm strong in the 200 meters have yet to compete at the national level. "O ur guys know what to expect. They are better for their competing in the past, as some were a bit over­ whelmed their first time," Thornton said. "If we are mistake free and con­ tinue to improve, we will be there in the finals having a say in who wins this thing." Texas failed to defend its Big 12 championship, finishing second to Nebraska,, but Thornton said that has only m ade his team m ore focused on the task at hand this weekend. "Expectations are higher after not accomplishing what we wanted in conference. We are more intense, and we don't just want to com pete," Thornton said. "W e want to win." Other H om s competing are Amar Johnson, who set a school record in the 60 meters at the Big 12 meet and Chris Hercules, who is No. 9 on the national leader board in the long jump. "I will consider this weekend á definite success if everyone of our guys scores [finishes in the top eight in their event]," Thornton said. "That would mean we would come home with everyone being named All-American, and if that happens, the team scoring will take care of itself." But to have any hope of hanging w ith top-ranked Arkansas, who boasts 17 entrants, there is one answer that Thornton does not have the answer to regarding his team's scoring chances. Will eight events with Horns be enough? Liz Diaz, the conference champion in both the mile and the 800 meters. feet, 5 1 / 2 inches, equaling Aldrich's indoor national record. Texas distance coach John Rembao said Diaz won't run in the mile because it starts only a half-hour after the 800 meters, so the Hom s will settle for a strong performance from her on Friday night. "W hat we're going to do with her is run her on the [distance medley relay]," he said. "Now, our DMR, just in changing one leg, improves by 10 seconds. Just that little move right there is going to make our DMR a high-scoring potential." As the first day of the meet draws to a close, the Homs hope to be with­ in striking distance of South Caroli­ na, LSU and UCLA. And then, the real fireworks begin. Saturday, 4:15 p.m. Senior Erm Aldrich should bring Texas at least a second-place, eight- point performance in the high jump. She has won the event at the last two indoor national championships, and her only real competition will be Harvard's Dora Gyorffy, who has the highest jump this season at 6 "Any time you get an athlete like Erin Aldrich going to the national championship, it adds a sense of security to your team, " Kearney said. Saturday, 6:25 p.m. Liz Diaz is seeded second in the 800 meters and should be in the hunt to win her final indoor race. With at least eight points from Diaz, Texas should be among — or atop — the lead pack. Saturday, 6:45 p.m. By now, it's clutch time, and fresh­ man Moushaumi Robinson and sen­ ior Tanya Jarrett will try to get Texas in the right position for the meet's closing event by scoring in the 400 meters. Robinson is seeded third, and Jarrett should outperform her No. 11 rank to score as well. Then, for an hour and 15 minutes, the H om s will wait for the big event, where they will need to clinch the championship. Saturday, 7:55 p.m. Texas' 4x400-meter relay team has posted considerably better tim es than any other relay squad in the nation, and they are seeded No. 1 going into nationals. The team was disqualified in the Big 12 Cham pi­ onships because of a lane violation, but barring any unforseen catastro­ phes like that, the H om s expect to win this event. "If we get into a situation that it comes down to the 4 x 4 ,1 know for a fact that as a team, we're going to go head-to-head, and we're going to cham pionship," win a national Robinson, one of the four relay members, said. And if everything falls into place before those fateful few minutes, indoor they'll w in yet another national the in cham pionship process. And each one of the Horns is expecting nothing less. "W e're going to win," said fresh­ man Nakiya Johnson, another mem­ ber of the 4x400-meter relay team. "Right now, that's all we're looking for, is to stand on that number one 'T he Eyes of platform and sing Texas.'"

Women aim to get on track during Spring Break road trip John Dawson Daily Texan Staff After a w eak showing against Georgia last Monday, Texas w ill try to regain their early-season momen­ tum with a spring break road trip. The Horns w ill travel to North C ar­ olina to face Duke on Tuesday, then Wake Forest on Thursday. Texas w ill end the trip in Gainesville where they w ill take on Florida. The No. 10 Longhorns are con­ cerned about getting back on the right track after the 7-1 drubbing they received at the hands of the Bulldogs. Coach Jeff Moore gave the team Tuesday and Wednesday off, but it was back to usual Thursday. "W e strayed aw ay from funda­ mentals in the Georgia match, not taking care of the ball under pres­ sure and making too many unforced TEXAS WOMEN'S TENNIS errors," said Moore. Texas w ill try to go back to those basics for the matches. That w ill not be an easy task, how ­ ever, as each of the Horns' oppo­ nents sport high national rankings. Wake Forest, Florida and Duke are ranked third, fifth and sixth in the nation. But despite their high poll num ­ bers, Moore isn't intimidated. "Once you get past Stanford and Georgia [ranked No. 1 and 2 in the latest polls], it's a free for all, I feel." Perhaps one of the biggest hurdles for the Horns to clear w ill be health, as senior Michelle Faucher is still having shoulder trouble. The south­ paw overexerted herself in her upset victory over Chin Bee Khoo of Arkansas over two weeks ago. Doc­ tors have termed it an "inflamed it's uncertain rotator cuff," and whether Faucher w ill make the road trip. If she does, game-time deci­ sions w ill be made as to whether she w ill compete. Getting healthier for Texas is sophomore Joanne Masongsong, w ho earlier this week was in the hos­ pital suffering from a virus. Masong­ song practiced Thursday without incident. She is expected to make the road trip, but Moore listed her as day-to-day. Injuries and sickness aside, Moore thinks that this team should be able to compete with the top competition. "Ev e n if we are shorthanded, I feel we have a shot to win any of the three," he said. " A ll the matches we play from here on out should be close." Martin breaks leg in Bearcat loss Cincinnati will play without its star in NCAA tourney Associated Press M E M P H IS , Tenn. — Kenyon M a r­ tin is finished for the season. Top- ranked Cincinnati might be as well. M artin broke his right leg three minutes into Cincinnati's Confer­ ence U S A quarterfinal against Saint Louis on Thursday, and the disheart­ ened Bearcats stumbled to a shock­ ing 68-58 loss. In losing perhaps the best player in the country, it is unlikely Cincin­ nati w ill receive a No. 1 seed when the N C A A tournament bracket is determined Sunday. "W e're going to have to change some things certainly, and probably the first thing that's got to change is we actually got to try to make a shot once in a w hile," Bearcats coach Bob Huggins said after the loss to ninth- seeded Saint Louis. "W h en everyone out there is run­ ning around in the wrong spot, he always puts them in the right spot. W e're going to miss that. " I don't want to say more than we miss him playing because he's a great, great player. But w e'll miss just his leadership from the stand­ point of getting those other guys wherever they're supposed to be." The 6-foot 9-inch, 240-pound M a r­ tin was setting a pick when he got tangled up w ith Saint Louis' Justin Love. M artin's ankle turned under­ neath him as he fell, tearing several ligaments and breaking his fibula. M artin said he had no control as he fell and that he could feel the fwisting and heard a pop. Dr. Ange­ lo J. Colosimo called it a freak injury for a basketball player, something that usually happens to a football player when a foot gets stuck in the turf. The doctor said M artin should recover fully, but w ill need two to four months before he can run again. "I'll continue to support my team­ mates," M artin said. "I'v e been here since day one. I just can't suit up." Martin was taken by ambulance to an orthopedic clinic, where doctors put a cast on his leg. He will need surgery, which will take place in Cincinnati. He returned to The Pyram id m id­ w ay through the second half with his teammates trailing and drew a standing ovation. But his presence wasn't enough to boost Cincinnati, which wound up with its earliest exit in recent history. The Bearcats had won six of their last eight tour­ nament titles, counting both Confer­ ence U S A and the defunct Great M idw est Conference. Even without Martin, Cincinnati (28-3) still had a chance to pul aw ay a team it routed twice in the regular season, including 84-41 last weekend. But Love scored 25 points as Saint Louis (17-13) outshot and outre- bounded the Bearcats, who had trouble even finding the basket for much of the second half. The victory puts the Billikens into the semifinals for the first time as members of Con­ ference U SA . They w ill play either Tulane or Houston on Friday. "It was a great w in," Saint Louis coach Lorenzo Romar said. "W e 'll be excited. W e'll talk about this for years to come. But it's very sad to see the best player in college basketball go down the w ay he went down." Cincinnati led 40-36 with 16:05 left on a jumper by Pete Mickeal, but A S S O C IA T E D P R E S S Cincinnati center Kenyon Martin is wheeled off the court after Cincinnati's loss to Saint Louis during the Confer­ ence U SA tournament Thursday. John Redden put Saint Louis ahead to stay with a 15-foot jumper that made it 48-47 with 12:35 remaining. The Bearcats then went cold and didn't hit a shot from the floor for a nearly 10 minute stretch until Miek- eal's basket w ith 1:16 remaining. Cincinnati could have taken the lead but went 6-of-13 at the free-throw line in that time. Saint Louis hit 10-of-12 free throws in the final 2:44.

K A N S A S CITY, Mo. — It was potentially his last defensive strate­ gy at Nebraska, and head coach Danny Nee was ultimately burned by the one thing he designed his plan to prevent most. The Cornhuskers' aim was to stifle the hot-shooting hand of Baylo r guard Tevis Stukes, but two feet behind the three-point arc with both teams' seasons on the line, there was nothing Nee nor a reckless Larry Florence could do to stop him. W ith the Bears trailing by one point with just over three minutes remaining, Stukes launched a three- pointer over the charging Nebraska forward. And while he wound up on the floor, his shot wound up finding the basket. Stukes' bomb from straight-away center hit nothing but net as he hit the deck, drawing a foul from Flo­ rence and giving the Bears the final momentum change in the opening game of the Big 12 Tournament. The Baylor senior then coolly sank the free throw to complete the four- point play, and the Bears would keep the lead until the final buzzer as they elim inated No. 8 seed Nebraska 63-55 at Kemper Arena on Thursday. It was the Bears' first vic­ tory in the four-year history of the conference tournament, and the win moves the ninth-seeded Baylor to "[Florence] went for the steal," said Stukes, who finished with a game-high 22 points for Baylor. "A n d when I get to the top of the key I always feel that I'm going to make it, so I'm just going to go ahead and shoot." Nebraska, m eanwhile, ends its campaign at 11-19 with its coaching future in doubt. Nee has been under steady criticism all season for the Huskers' sub-par season — the worst in his 14 years in Lincoln — and he declined to comment Thurs­ day when asked about his future with the university. "O u r whole defense was to stop Stukes," Nee said. " I thought we had the game under control, but every­ thing [Florence] tried just d id n 't work." The Bears now ready for the Cyclones, who pounded Baylor 75- 54 in Waco earlier this month. ■ No. 7 Colorado 79, No. 10 Texas A & M 53 Sparked by a 26-2 first-half run, Colorado ended Texas A & M 's post­ season, as the Buffaloes handed the Aggies a 79-53 loss in the tirst-round of the Big 12 Tournament.

The Jayhaw ks w ill take on No. 4 seed Oklahoma State Friday in the second round. Boschee's tallied all 21 of his points before the break, hitting seven of his eight three-point attempts in the opening half to set a Kansas school record for three pointers in a half. The victory marked the 19th con­ secutive time that Jayhaw ks have defeated their cross-state rivals. ■ No. 6 M issouri 80, No. 11 Texas Tech 47 Missouri guard Clarence Gilbert came up a point shy of a career high, scoring 26 points to help Missouri bomb Texas Tech 80-47.

Mihm has developed a complete game Upset puts Texas women in Big 12 final Continued from page 9 you couldn't bribe M ihm to blurt out a syllable's worth of self-adoration. "I'm confident in m y abilities, but I don't like people that brag upon themselves," M ihm said. " I think that's for other people to judge where I rank in college basketball." Well fine then. Here's the thoughts of Ivan W agn­ er. "M ih m is definitely one of the top players in the country. Bar none," the senior point guard said. "H is num­ bers speak for themselves. He's a presence, and the respect he gets from other teams really says a lot. W hen he touches the ball there's three guys, sometimes five guys, going down to get the ball out of his hands. That's a great compliment to him." Coach Barnes, your opinion please. "H e 's had a great run over the last two years," Barnes said of Mihm. "H e's been really consistent and has definitely gotten better in all areas of his game. But I still think he's going Continued from page 9 thriller at the Erw in Center earlier this year. Texas Tech's 50 points were the lowest offensive production that it has been held to all season, as the Longhorns shut down the typically potent post game of the Red Raiders. Sagging in its man-to-man defense, Texas prevented Texas Tech from isolating its frontcourt players and getting inside position. The result was just seven points for center Plenette Pierson and nine for forward Aleah Johnson, each number below their season aver­ ages. For the game, Texas Tech shot just 34 percent from the floor. " I think the thing that I am happi­ est about is that this team finally believes in themselves," Texas head coach Jody Conradt said. "I have to D A L L A S — D allas M avericks coach-general manager Don Nelson and owner-to-be M ark Cuban say flamboyant forward Dennis Rodman was released W ednesday because the team was no longer in playoff contention. The rebellious Rodman, as always, had a different point of view. In his first comments since being dropped by the only team willing to put up with his antics, Rodman crit­ icized the league, the M avericks organization and Cuban in an exple­ tive-filled tirade Thursday. " I don't think I deserve this, to be treated like a $5-Cuban [expletive]," Rodman told Fox Sports News. " I don't mean M ark Cuban. I mean like going to Cuba to pay some [exple­ tive] $5 to [expletive]." After railing on Cuban, Rodman vented on the league. " If it's not a personal thing, then it's the N B A , saying if you don't get rid of Dennis Rodman, then you're not going to be an owner," Rodman said. " I think it's an injustice because I'm me, Dennis Rodman. I haven't done anything wrong. I thought I was doing a good job. I thought I lived up to my expectations. I don't get it. I really don't get it. I get the short end of the stick every [exple­ tive] time. W h a t am I doing wrong?'' For Nelson and Cuban, the bottom line was Rodman did not amount to to play better basketball than he's played to this point. And he's been really good." Mihm would like to give Barnes the credit for that. Ever since the Horns' coach arrived at Texas two years ago, M ihm 's naturally solid defensive skills have become stalwart under Barnes' tenacious scheme. However, it has been at the other end of the court that M ihm has truly blossomed under Barnes. Unlike his secondary offensive role during his freshman year when Tom Penders was at the helm, Mihm has become the lethal weapon in the Texas attack. His game is no l®nger limited to dunks and layups on the inside. M ihm has added a hook shot to his arsenal and developed a mid-range jumper that makes him a potent force when he faces up to the basket. Oh yeah, there's also that mental foundation that M ihm said Barnes is largely responsible for molding. "Coach Barnes has really helped me out," M ihm said. "H e's guided me along and taken my game to the next level. I had the athletic talent before coach Barnes came here, but he's really shown me how important the mental part is." Now, if M ihm could onlv get rid of the physical part. For just one day. Heck, 10 short minutes would do. Once, M ihm would like to be a normal guy. Six-feet tall, 180 pounds. That guy who can go to the movies with his girlfriend and avoid the whispers. That guy who can eat out at a restaurant without having to autograph a $20 bill. Then M ihm could be that guv that nobody notices, who argues with that other guy about that Chris M ihm kid. And then maybe he could finally convince someone that he isn't soft. "There are always going to be peo­ ple trying to find something bad about you," M ihm said. " I just laugh when I see it, because I'd like to see those people that are calling me soft put up the numbers that I have all season." say that there are probably a lot of other people that believe in them now, too." But while Texas Tech fizzled on its side of the court, the Horns sizzled on offense. Showing no signs of fatigue in its third game in as many days, Texas shot a blistering 52 per­ cent on a Red Raider team that entered the tournament w ith the conference's best defense. "Com ing into the game I thought that we might be a little winded or get a little tired, but I think our adrenaline was going too fast for us to even think about being tired," for­ ward Tracy Cook said.

It was the Horns' guards that visibly made the differ­ ence in the game, as all four were quicker than the Red Raiders back- court and showed little difficulty penetrating to the lane for baskets or shooting from the perimeter. "It was our time to beat them," Woods said. "The third time is the charm." Dallas had won 10 of 13 games before Rodman's Feb. 3 signing. In the 29 days and 13 games of the Rodman era, Dallas managed to win just four games while enduring two ejections and a one-game suspension from the league's most-pierced player.

It's a patho­ logically strange movie filled with quixotic characters, unexplainable jux­ tapositions and, yes, dancing chickens. Released in 1977, Stroszek is as original and perplexing today as it m ust have been nearly 23 years ago. Bruno S., a real-life schizophrenic, stars as Bruno Stroszek, a funny and benign little tramp who has spent much of his life in and out of German mental institutions and prisons. For what? In a Herzog film, characters behind bars are invariably more hum an and reasonable than the madmen outside. This is essen­ tially what Stroszek is about — not fit­ ting into a society gone crazy and the tragic search for security and lasting happiness somewhere else. After being released from prison, Bruno spends his days playing his accordion and glockenspiel in city court­ yards, and his nights chain smoking cig­ arettes and tinkering on his grand piano with his elderly neighbor Scheitz. While drinking a beer at a local bar, Bruno meets Eva, a prostitute who is perpetu­ ally abused by her vicious pimps. He becomes a liberator of sorts when he offers her asylum in his apartment, but that only leads to several violent con­ frontations with her cruel "zuckervatis" (or "sugar daddy"). Disillusioned with Berlin, the three German-speaking blun- derbums dedde to try their luck in Rail Road Flats, Wisconsin (filmed in mass- murderer Ed Gein's home town), where Scheitz's nephew lives. In Germany, the triumvirate had one unifying cause — survive the onslaught of villains in a cold and dehumanizing city. In Railroad Hats, they have only a mortgage payment to worry about and quickly slip into an American morass of mobile homes and TV football. When Bruno complains how much worse America is than Germany, Eva sternly rebukes him, "No one kicks you here!" "No, not physically," Bruno says, "They do it spiritually." Herzog elicits unexpected hum or from what are very bleak circumstances and fashions a biting satire on the hol­ low promises of the American dream. Eva and Bruno both bicker about bills and work dead-end jobs with gape- jawed yokels with whom they can't communicate. Scheitz, old and unable to speak any English, makes due by conducting strange scientific experi­ ment based on Schopenhauer's theories of animal magnetism. All of this explosively ends in tragedy. Stroszek has one of the most unexpected and brilliant end sequences in the entire film lexicon, which is in and of itself a compelling reason for see­ ing the film. Herzog himself has called the denouement "a brilliant metaphor but for what I don't know." Three clues: Indians, dancing chickens and a ski lift. The Theaterless Theatre Corps presents a stage adaptation of Stroszek. It will play at Hyde Park Theatre every Thursday, Fhday and Saturday at 8 p.m. until March 18.

Elizabeth 3 ' 326*2629 Matt Anthony Wilson D a ily T e x a n S ta ff Gregory Withrow was a leader in the California branch of the KKK and was like a son to Tom Metzger, leader of the White Aryan Resistance. Even before this, he gained notoriety for starting up a White Student Union on his campus. Nevertheless, today he is happily mar­ ried to a Latina woman named Maria. If Blink, screening as part of the Doc­ umentary Competition at the SXSW Film Festival, (Alamo, Mar. 11, 11 a.m.; State, Mar. 13, 3:30 p.m.; State, Mar. 16, 9:30 p.m.) took the standard approach, it would have probably ended up being yet another "evil-racist-tumed-model- citizen" story. But aw ard-w inning producer / director / w riter Elizabeth Thompson has her sights set higher than I that. In Blink, she refuses to let Withrow * off the hook. (She even dares to question Whether his much-publicized literal cru­ cifixion by fellow supremacists in ’ response to his public denouncement of . previous ideals was staged.) Not afraid to wade in contradictions ■ and ambiguities, this is the portrait of a m an "who still wonders whether or not he's really changed." Withrow's interesting, complicated character and compelling story is what 4 iThis Interview Continued from page 16 which lasted 35 days — took place in Toronto and New York and received vis­ its from the film's real-life counterparts. "Quite a few of the real people who were portrayed in the movie came to visit," Greenwald said. "Anita and Amer­ ica Hoffman, Gerry Lefcourt, Stew and Judy Albert, Tom Hayden. The mixture between the real people and the actors in £he movie was a very exciting bonding of cultures, ideas and generations." The presence of Abbie's cohorts on Jhe set assured Greenwald that those who knew Abbie best were in fact sup­ porting the film. Greenwald said that When he first pitched the idea, there was great concern among Anita Hoffman and others that Steal This Movie! — scheduled for release nationwide on Aug. 25 — would be a "bullshit Holly­ wood version" of Hoffman's life. "Because the movie was made out­ side the system — it was an independ­ ent film — I and Anita and Tom and Gerry believed that I was able to sup­ port the integrity of what Abbie was caught Thompson's interest. But more than that, she said, "I wanted to find out what they [hate groups] were trying to express ... And I thought that through his story, it would be an interesting and dramatic way of understanding racism, particularly as it has to do with class and gender." Blink ties class, gender and race together by taking a hard look at a m uch neglected group: oppressed, lower-income Caucasians, me group that gets trash" (which, as T hom pson points out, auoting filmmaker John Waters, "is the only racial rem ark one can get aw ay with these days.") labeled "w hite "I think there's a sense of humilia­ tion that comes from being lower class in a society, particularly for a white man, for whom the ability to make a living is called into question, and you can combine that w ith the sense of entitlement of being a white male and it can create a very explosive kind of rage," said Thompson. Blink also looks at the relationship Withrow had with his father. Withrow recalls a day when as a young boy he brought over an African-American schoolmate. His father threatened him with boiling water and told him to "get that nigger off the lawn." Withrow did just that, calling the other boy the same racial slur and hitting him. Commenting on this scene, Thomp­ son stresses, "I think a really important thing that Greg [Withrow] does have to teach us is the connection between fear and hate. [He] didn't learn to hate blacks and Jews, [he] learned to hate his own people. It all began with a fear of his father." There's particularly something groundbreaking about the notion of whites hating whites. Even Tom Met­ zger voices tne opinion of many white supremacists that the enemy is not so much people of color, as it is the rich Caucasians. While this is not a new idea, it is relatively new in cinema. If this is true, w hy all the violence towards minorities? "The only folks that are supposed to be lower than them [poor whites] are minorities. It creates this kind of tension ... They [whites] need to keep them d o w n ... It's a place where they [whites] can do something," said Thompson. And what is scarier than this revela­ tion? The fact that many people contin­ ue to ignore class and gender and the way it intertwines with racism. Perhaps with Blink, this might start to change. At the very least, it might stimulate other filmmakers to break out of their rut. about," Greenwald said. Even though the movie was low- budget, Steal This Movie! has, according to Greenwald, a terrific soundtrack. Greenwald showed the movie to artists such as Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow and Ringo Starr, all of whom agreed to cover '60s songs. Raitt covered "Baby Blue." Browne and Joan Osborne teamed together for "My Back Pages." Starr performed some of John Lennoris work. "I went into a studio in Santa Monica — a little rinky-dink, teeny-tiny studio," Greenwald said, "and there, banging away on the drums, redoing a John Lennon song, was Ringo." Greenwald hopes that all of the ele­ ments in Steal This Movie! combine to make a film that Abbie Hoffman would have supported because, Greenwald noted, this isn't the first time someone has tried to make a movie about Hoff­ man's life. "Anita told me this story about how at one point, when Abbie was under- ground, there were plans to make a movie," Greenwald said. "It was a big studio film. They [the studio] were beginning to cast, and they sent the script to Abbie. He read the script, he called the head of the studio and the head of the studio asked Abbie what he thought. Abbie said 'Let me tell you one thing. If you make this movie, and you distribute it in movie theaters, I promise you that I will go around to every single movie theater if s playing in and I will bum each one of those theaters down." Needless to say, the movie never materialized. But Anita, who visited the set before her December 1998 death from cancer, assured Greenwald that Steal This Movie! w ould meet with Abbie's approval. "Anita — after she came to Toronto and saw Vince do one of Abbie's speeches — said something to me I'll never forget," Greenwald said. "She turned to me, and gave me a little hug, and said, "This is the one. Abbie would want this one made.'

Alvin Ailey Dance Theater promises classic ‘Revelations’ texanent@uts.cc.utexas.edu Erin Steele Daily Texan Staff Not satisfied w ith the buper lues- dav results7 Abbie Hoffman, who even after death can't resist a well-placed political jab, may have the answer. "The thing about Abbie is he had a great sense of humor," Robert Green- w ald said. "The candidate that the Yip- pies ran for president in '68 — Pigasus — we .ire considering running again and w e'a5 hinng campaign consultants to see if we should enter him in the presidential election.' W hat are Ytppies? W ho is Pigasus? Greenwald, the director/producer of the SXSW special screening entry Steal Tins Movie! (Param ount, Mar. 10,7 p.m. and Dobie 3, Mar. 14, 9:30 p.m.) has everv confidence that by the end of his film , those questions w ill be answered. Steal this Maine! follows the events of Hoffm an s — a political activist best known for his rejection and parody of Am erican corporate culture and pas­ sion for environm ental issues — life, including his involvem ent in the civ il rights movement; the riots in Chicago and the resulting tnal; the FBI harass­ ment that forced him to go under­ ground; and his decision to turn him ­ self in on television. N ot only was Greenwrald sim ply intrigued by Hoffm an's (w ho commit­ ted suicide in 1989) life, but was also a part of it. He knew Hoffm an when he was underground in the United States. He played volleyball w ith Hoffm an's w ife Anita in Venice, C A ; and his daughters wrere friends w ith the Hoff­ mans' son, Am erica. It was Green­ w ald's idea to film Steal Tins Maine! and so, he said, he hired him self on as the director from the beginning. " I wanted to do a m ovie that told the story of the '60s in which Abbie Hoff­ man was our tour guide," Greenwald said. "A nd I wanted to do it so that it would communicate to several genera­ tions that despite what the nght-w'ing says, it was a time where people were f -&L px % ■ » Steal This Movie!, p la ying Frid a y and T u esd ay at S X S W , im m o rtalize s A b b ie H o ffm a n . committed to things beyond their own self-interest, where greed was not an acceptable m iddle name and where you felt your life wras enriched by being concerned about the lives of others." Greenwald managed to reach his goal for This Movie! through what he calls a "w onderful and unique group of actors, none of whom were getting paid very much money, and who all made an enormous psychological and emotional commitment to the film ." I he cast includes Vincent D'O nofrio, Janeane Garofalo, Kevin Pollack and Jeanne Tripplehom .

"You ought to be a dancer," spoken by A iley's long-time friend Carm en de Lavallade, were the steps to a road of dancing paved w ith hardships linked to race and a lack of early technical training. Influenced by his earliest teacher, Lester Horton (whom A iley took over for after his death), A iley began the process that w ould allow his self-expressive pieces to be perform ed in such major dance companies as the Jeffrey Ballet, Dance Theatre of Harlem and Pans Opera Ballet. The com pany has earned a reputation as one of the most popular international ambassa­ dors of Am erican culture. Under Jud ith Jam ison, artistic direc­ tor since A lley's death in 1989, the com­ pany has continued ahead at mach speed w ith A iley's visions. Jam ison her­ self inspired one of his most notable pieces, Cry, w hich was a tribute to A ile y's m other and a dedication to black wom en and mothers. Frid ay's perform ance, Legacies, w ill highlight other choreographers' w orks inspired by A ile y Ailey Classics, featur­ ing such well-known w orks as Revela- tions, w ill be perform ed at the Satu r­ day show. The w ide repertoire of the com pany combines the classic w ith the nouveau. The intensity of the A iley dancers as w ell as the passion of the stones behind them w ill be a challenge for Bass Con­ cert H all's stage to contain.
