At a co m m ittee m eetin g last week, as students across the country prepared to take Saturday's LSAT test, Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, said he is worried the exam's struc­ ture is racially biased and doesn't fairly measure academic skills. Cuellar said the LSAT should not be as large a part of the admission's decision as it currently is in most law schools. "Don't get rid of it, but don't put the overemphasis or reliance on it either," Cuellar said. "You should look at it as just one factor in the admissions process." But Michael Sharlot, dean of the UT School of Law, said the LSAT is necessary for admissions. He said the test is also req u ired by the American Bar Association for law school accreditation. "W e at the law school receive applications from people who have atten d ed probably 3 0 0 differen t sch ools and have m ajored in an en orm ou s v ariety of su b jects," Sharlot said. "It is extremely diffi­ cult to co m p are one ap p lican t against the others. The LSAT is a uniform measure of comparison for all the applicants." Nathan W ales, president of Phi Alpha Delta, a pre-law fraternity, said he thinks the LSAT is a good determinant for admission. "It te sts you on b a sic sk ills and know ledge that you will need d ur­ ing law school," said W ales, a g ov­ ernm ent junior.

When international graduate stu­ dents who wish to be TAs come to the U n iv ersity , they m u st go through the International Teaching Assistants Program , which trains them to work in UT classrooms. The practical skills offered in the training program were very help­ ful, Wubben said, noting that she has not had many problems with the language barrier this semester. The first phase of the program includes an English oral assessment and a course to improve prospec­ tive TAs' language skills. The sec­ ond p h ase o rien ts the them to teaching at the University, familiar­ izing them with grading on curves or terms such as "make-up exam." The final part gives the partici­ pants a chance to practice teaching, and undergraduate volunteers give them suggestions on how they can improve their skills. Last year 665 international teach­ ing assistants and assistant instruc­ tors taught at the University, mak­ ing up about 25 percent of the 2,717 total TAs and AIs at the University. "ITAs are highly qualified, the cream of the international crop, and th a t's w hy they w ere chosen to come here and accepted as gradu­ ate s tu d e n ts ," said G hislaine Kozuh, director of the International Teaching Assistants Program. But students who have dealt with international TAs said that at times it could be difficult. "S o m etim es the accen ts m ake them h ard to u n d erstan d ," said Tony Hall, a mechanical engineer­ ing junior. "There's no advantage to having an international TA, but th ere's no reason for them to be excluded." Some stu d en ts said that m ore should be done to help students and TAs understand each other. "I think there should be a [high­ er] minimum English equivalency," said Russell Baird, a m echanical engineering senior, "I have nothing against international TAs, but when they can't speak well enough to get the point across it hinders their abil­ ity to teach."

"The undergraduate can give the T A suggestions ab ou t h o w they could improve, and that w ould be helpful to the IT A ," Kozuh said. But, Kozuh added that the when students don't do well in class it is not always the result of a bad TA. "O n rare occasions it has come to our attention that an undergraduate or their parents com plained," she said. " In most cases the problem was a student that did not come to class, so they w ere already strug­ gling w ith the material, and the fact that therfe was a person speaking w ith a foreign accent exacerbated the problem," Kozuh said.

While state efforts to level the playing field for under-represented groups are crucial in the post-Hopwood era, reducing the LSAT's significance in the admissions process isn't a good solution for low minority enrollment. Proponents of the idea brought before members of the Texas House Higher Education Committee Friday say the LSAT is best used as one of many factors in the application process, but shouldn't be weighed so heavily. However, they forget that the UT School of Law already considers applicants' undergraduate performance and socioeconomic background in addition to the LSAT in its current admissions process. UT Law Dean Michael Sharlot noted. "If we admitted students just on numbers, Cheryl Hopwood would have already graduated." After the elim ina­ tion of affirmative action policies, giving less weight to one of the few standardized criteria available in the selection process would only confuse an already difficult situation. In addition, the American Bar Association requires that the LSAT be included in admissions criteria at accredited law schools. While lawmakers admit they can't eliminate the test entirely, it also seems they haven't fully considered the impact of such a change on national law school rankings. The law school is one of the University's greatest assets, and legislators shouldn't compromise its reputation for misguided short-term solutions. The legislature can't expect to fix higher education in Texas without focusing on the shortfalls of the public school sys­ tem. Sharlot notes that the LSAT helps the chances of students with less-than-perfect performance as undergraduates. For under­ graduates who balance work and class as they earn their degree, the LSAT is another chance to show their potential. He also sug­ gests that pre-law programs, such as the one offered at UT-E1 Paso, shows promise in giving historically disadvantaged stu­ dents the edge they need to compete with other applicants. As the Legislature works to remedy the low num bers of minorities entering law school, these pre-law programs should be at the forefront of efforts to combat the effects of the Hop- wood ruling. Criticisms of standardized test scores are valid. It's not diffi­ cult to imagine a certain level of cultural bias inherent in the LSAT, GRE and SAT. But it's only logical that bias also extends beyond cultures — global thinkers have a rougher time on such tests than do their more analytical counterparts and so forth. It is im possible to create a test that is not biased in one form or fashion, but the LSAT should still be a key factor in admissions. We may not be able to create a selection process attuned to bringing out the best in every applicant, but we can give stu­ dents the tools to deal with the challenges posed by the adm is­ sions process.

To address this ques­ tion, we must first ask "How much influence does the president have on today's overall economy?" Not as much as he / she used to. To understand why this is the case, we need to exam­ ine how the role of the president has changed in recent history. From the 1930s through the 1960s, presidents had a great deal of influence over the economy. During these days, fiscal policy (changes in the spending and taxing policies of the government) were viewed as the main vehicle for stabilizing the economy. The president set the federal government's budget priorities and Congress, for the most part, followed the president's wishes. And so Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhow­ er, Kennedy and Johnson had a great deal of impact on the U.S. economy. Things began to change in the 1970s. Michael Brandi Ph.D. GUEST COLUMNIST As inflation heated up, economic poli­ cies switched away from the attempt to stabilize the level of economic output toward bringing inflation under con­ trol. During this same time, economists were realizing that monetary policy (changes in the money supply and/or interest rates) was the key to controlling inflation. By the 1980s monetary policy slowly replaced fiscal policy as the more important economic policy. Mon­ etary policy in the U.S. is conducted by the politically independent Federal Reserve. Thus, as monetary policy grew in importance, the president's influence over the economy dissipated. As fiscal policy decreased in impor­ tance, the president7s control over fiscal policy also fell. As President Nixon desperately attempted to fend off impeachment in 1974, he turned the majority of the president's power on the budget process over to Congress. As a result, every president to follow Nixon has had a smaller say in fiscal policy. The combination of the fall in the president's power to control fiscal policy, along with the general decline in the usefulness of fiscal policy, have resulted in a decline in the president's ability to influence the economy. This is not to say that the president is without any power or influence over economic policy or the economy. As the leader of his/her party, the presi­ dent still has a great deal of influence in Congress and plays a major role in the direction of fiscal policy. In addition, while the Federal Reserve has gained power during the last 30 years, the Fed is not completely independent of the administration. It is the president that appoints the chairman of the Fed, sub­ ject to confirmation of the Senate, and the Fed chair regularly meets and con­ fers with the president on the direction of monetary policy. So the president still plays a role in economic policy and has some influence over the economy. A more important individual than the president, from the standpoint of the economy and financial markets, is the chairman of the Federal Reserve. The current chairman of the Fed, Alan • Greenspan, is widely respected in! financial markets across the world. His • comments and actions are monitored • very closely by "Fed watchers" across! the globe. The world would surely be in ; a if Chairman crisis Greenspan was found to have abused the power of his office in order to cover up his affair with an intern less than half his age. The president, not so much. financial Brandi is a professor in the Graduate School of Business and in the Department of Finance.

Cash was in the restroom for two minutes. He did not assist his friend nor did he hinder him. Cash did not call for help; he just left as his friend shouted at the girl, "Shut up or I'll kill you." When Cash and friend Jeremy Strohmeyer reunited minutes later, Sherrice Iverson was dead in the restroom , her body stuffed in a toilet. To avoid the death penalty, Strohmeyer pleaded guilty to the murder earlier this month. As his best friend went to jail to await his sentencing, Cash spent the day in class at the University of California at Berkeley. Courtney Roberston COLUMNIST Regardless of his responsibility under the criminal law, many in the university community at Berke­ ley want to see Cash leave. The stu­ dent government passed a resolu­ tion calling for Cash to voluntarily withdraw from the university after protesters gathered at Berkeley's Sproul Plaza to demand his expul­ sion. On the day of the rally, Chan­ cellor Robert Berdahl, the former president of UT, was asked if he would feel com fortable with his daughter living in the co-ed dorm i­ tory where Cash resides. Berdahl declined least Berdahl doesn't have to live and study with Cash, who is currently protected by Berkeley police. to answ er. At C ash's m ajor is probably not public relations. Not one to be mired in the past, Cash blithely told the L.A Times that he does not think about the murder. "I'm not going to get upset over somebody else's life. I just worry about myself first. I'm not going to lose sleep over somebody else's problems." Instead, he is enjoying his notori­ ety. He told the Times that the pub­ licity surrounding the case has made it easier for him to "score with w om en." Anyone concerned about Cash's future will find reas­ surance in his plans, which he revealed to the Long Beach Press- Telegram: "I'm no id io t... I'll get my money out of this." A more timid personality might shy away from publicity, but Cash seems eager to bask in the glare. A hot topic on radio talk shows in Los Angeles, Cash called KLSX-FM to "T he sim ple participate. fact remains that I do not know this lit­ tle girl. I do not know starving chil­ dren in Panama. I do not know in people Egypt." that die of disease of Perhaps the most horrific of C ash's statem ents cam e w ithin Sh errice's death. m inutes According to Cash's grand jury tes­ timony, when Strohm eyer emerged from the restroom where he killed Sherrice by snapping her neck, Cash asked his friend whether the second-grader had been aroused. Even though he says that he doesn't think about it, one wonders how often D avid Cash recalls Memorial weekend 1997, when he and Jeremy Strohmeyer, two weeks shy of graduating from high school, went to Nevada. As the L.A. Times describes, the slot machines had lost their charm by early Sunday morning. Cash and Strohm eyer w ere ready to leave the Primadonna Resort and Casino when a rolled up wet paper tow el hit Strohm eyer's arm. He picked it up and threw it back at the little girl in black boots and sailor outfit who accidentally threw it his way. Sherrice Iverson darted out of the video arcade. Jeremy Strohmeyer followed. They played hide-and-go-seek for a few minutes until Sherrice ran into the wom en's restroom. When Strohmeyer caught up to her, Sher­ rice stood in one corner clutching a yellow "Caution: Wet Floor" sign. As Strohmeyer approached Sher­ rice, she swung the sign at him. After being hit by the 46-pound girl, according to Jerem y's report to Las Vegas police, he "w ent hay­ w ire." Cash watched as Strohm ey­ er forced Sherrice into the handicap stall and locked the door. Cash jumped on a toilet to peer into the adjacent stall, w here a young girl struggled to escape the grip of a man more than twice her size. David Cash was Sherrice Iver­ son's last chance. After killing his brother Abel and, thus committing the first m ur­ der according to the book of Gene­ sis, God asked Cain for the w here­ abouts of his brother. In response, Cain, sounding a lot like David Cash, flippantly asked God, "A m I my brother's keeper?" David Cash is not his brother's keeper; he is not in the business of looking out for others. And legally, he doesn't have to be. Sadly, Jerem y Strohm eyer's crim e w as not a unique event. What is unique is Cash's lack of remorse. Roberston is an English junior. FIRING LINE So be it Brent Johnstone's conclusion in Thursday's Firing Line that Deloss Dodds is "full of shit" about how much he cares about students made me think one thing: someone final­ ly put it exactly right — Dodds has* more important concerns than this university's students. Could the answer be donors and alumni? I know so. fee of one dollar for anyone falling asleep, in the library. The only downfall is that students will be relocated to their choice of the base­ ment or bathrooms while the ones who paid full admission to the library have free access to the books. Richard Moeller Computer science/philosphy Senior Kelly Bosse Marketing junior Illogical column Make Dodds librarian In Wednesday's Firing Line we resumed the constant debate of ath­ letic versus academ ic spending. Jane Thompson felt we should be spending more money on libraries and UT staff rather than the football program. Actually, there is a way to satisfy all parties involved. We simply put Deloss Dodds in charge of the UT library system. Then he cán convert the library study rooms to exclusive skyboxes running $50,000 a year. The teachers are assured their rais­ es when Dodds enacts a boarding The Daily Texan should have higher standards for their colum­ nist than those of Chris Gray. Chris, your unfortunate editorial "Stop Player-hating the President" is not worthy of what is otherwise a good newspaper. Your Tupac Shakur meets Rush Limbaugh approach is illogical and disastrous. Come on, "Player-hat­ ing"? What kind of a B-boy Repub­ lican are you presuming to be? Your article is full of hype and insults. To what esteem do you hold reason and fact? Insulting women, the American public, and the president's family among oth­ ers, while glorifying womanizing and adultery is the kind of sensa-. tionalism that insults my intelli­ gence. Let me remind you that it is still possible to challenge the logic of the trial without resorting to per­ sonal attacks and sexist remarks. Intern for Rush Limbaugh, call your opinions into Howard Stem, write a letter to Playboy, but don't waste space in the student newspa­ per. Next time, put a little effort into your arguments and challenge students' minds, not their stom­ achs. Kathleen Bonnicksen International business junior Be responsible In response to Brian Winters col­ umn on lowering the drinking age to 1 8 ,1 would like to ask, what fra­ ternity are you in? He says, ... "M ost of those 20- year-olds w eren't thinking of drinking and driving, and if they were, then nail their asses once they get on the road. Cane them if you want. But leave responsible adults alone." Maybe he's right about 18-year- olds having the right to consume and purchase alcohol seeing as they have a right to die for their country and face the death penalty, but Winters Bcomment about nailing their asses while they are on the road is just plain stupid, 'cause it could be too late to nail any asses. If you want to consume alcohol suffer the responsibility that goes along with it. People are not going to vote to change the legal drinking age 'cause the older you get the more you realize that it could end up being your kids drinking at 18. So if you drink, that's your prerogative, just don't bitch and moan about the M.l.P. you got last week getting caught at the party. If people got smarter and obeyed the laws that were made to protect them, then maybe it wouldn't look like such a waste of taxpayer money. Those cops give their time to keep ungrateful punks from get­ ting run over when they're drunk or even giving them rides home. Like they really want to sit on or near campus and watch a bunch of drunks ... gimme a break ... It's their job\\\ Now it's our job as adults to realize that it's okay to drink as long as you are smart about it. Drinking and driving is way past stupid.

P A G E F I V E M M j * g TtED^TwS m h m i« SEPTEMBER28.1888, FIRING LIN E Tougher times for students From the perspective of a UT graduate returning for a second degree, I see things here on campus quite different than they were six years ago. As the undergraduate student population and the currícu­ lums of each college broaden, UT has failed to hire the staff necessary to accommodate the rising numbers. I am currently enrolled in a class that has 720 people in it. Although many of the classes shrink in size as a student moves into upper divi­ sion, the responsibility of nurturing the student's education early on is completely on the student. You can't teach a student responsibility no matter what the size of the class is but if guidance is what is needed, classes of 300 plus are not. Either the University needs to become larger or the student population needs to shrink. There is something to be said about a university 'that increases academic standards in order to pro­ vide a better education for its stu­ dents. It is also perhaps a good idea to expect that a student might have to take five years to graduate consider­ ing the requirements of some of the ; degree plans. In my first bachelor's degree, I racked up 173 hours in four and a half years and chose not to complete the last 18 hours to get my teacher certification. I would never * expect a student to complete that in less than five years. Many students work full-time jobs. Perhaps some of the degree plans need to become more specialized with the changes in technology. Consider also that it much harder to find a good-paying job with a col­ lege degree than it was 20 years ago. I know. I spent the last two years working a crappy job with crappy benefits. My point to all of this is that Sixth Street, a great music scene, and too much coffee has very little to do with graduating. It has more to do with creating a better university environment conducive to learning that is applicable to a tougher job market. Richard B lair Computer Science Thank so much Congress I just wanted to give a shout out to our boys on Capital Hill. I'll sleep better knowing that the big man, Newt of the Gingriches, is on the ball, so to speak, making sure the country finds out that the president may be doing something he's not supposed to. Who would have guessed that Clinton, a hero of mine (sniffle), had extra-marital play time? My God in Heaven. I'm sure this was an incredible shock to all our honest politicans in the nation's capital who could not conceive such a terrible act. To be perfectly honest, and I'm not alone, I have about as much interest in this whole affair as I would in watching two dogs sniff each other that'd be none, by the way. To look at this whole situation you'd think that it was the Garden of Eden all over again; forbidden fruit and all. I got news for the folks on the Hill, comparing Republican and Democratic presidencies to the dif­ ferences between Heaven and Hell is about as interesting as Cop Rock was. This country has drug problems, poverty, disease and smog, but if we expose a man for having an affair, we've done our job in protecting and securing the blessings of liberty. On the other hand, Mr. President, the American people have had enough of Little Bill running the show. Why would anyone take such a risk? I don't know. I do know that Washington backwater isn't Arkansas and it'll take a lot of more than bathtub gin and a can of snuff to make people forget. However, I'd be happy with bringing back the Care Bears and a refill on my medication. Greg Walters Psychology Senior Symptoms first It's true — we should address the problem of drunk driving, in and of itself. But goshdamit, this country is founded on the belief that treating symptoms will eventually cure the disease. Instead of addressing ram­ pant bigotry, we stand behind a “Don't ask, Don't tell" policy. Instead of addressing drunk driving, we just up the drinking age. Maybe we should start printing more dollar bills to eliminate poverty. It works for Russia, doesn't it? On that note, I think I'll head over to Waterloo ... for a Coke. Kelly Holmes English ju nio r Wynar a metaphor Why Mr. Wynar! Of course you are a metaphor: You represent the perennial dawn of the new philis­ tine. Susan VerHoef Liberal Arts Senior . Zafar, get the 411 I must congratulate Zafar S. Choudbury for demonstrating such impeccable skill in the ad hominem assault on "popular radio host" Brian Winter. Mr. Winter is clearly a slave to the booze industry. The evidence is overwhelming — an article encour­ aging the lowering of the drinking age coupled with some unconnected statistics serve as a damning demon­ stration of Mr. Winter's serfdom. In fact, his last name is actually Jager- meister, though it was changed dur­ ing the war for sounding too Ger­ man. Mr. Winter's slavish booster- ism for the alcohol industry can be heard weekly on The 411 on 91.7 KVRX, Wednesdays at 8 pm. I encourage everyone to listen to his outrageous rantings. And, while I hate to point out any flaws in the magnificent logic dis­ played in Zafar's letter, the reason the 18-21 age group suffers the high­ est casualties in war is that said age group is composed mostly of pri­ vates and corporals, who fight in greater numbers than officers. They are killed because they follow the orders of their superiors, not because they ignore them. So much for that argument. The rest, of course, is airtight. So remember, Brian "Tool of the Man" Winter, along with several other pawns in the game of conquest and greed, can be heard Wednes­ days at 8 p.m. on KVRX. Lackey of the Dethkultur? Fearless champion of the underdog? Decide for your­ self! J e ff Lockwood History ju nio r Police are just Mr.Villarreal raised some serious issues in his article "Austin Police out of Control." (9 /2 5 /9 8 ) In this article, he said that Austin Police officers ought to be subject to citizen review so as not to punish and harm the common citizens of this city. is This conclusion ludicrous. Police officers have a specific job to do and it is to control crime by enforcing the laws of this city and state. To do so means arresting peo­ ple and writing tickets to those who break the law. Their job is not to attack and hurt law-abiding citizens. If you have been given a ticket or been arrested, it is safe to assume that you did something wrong. Those who do the right thing, don't get arrested or "harassed" by police officers. The Cedar Avenue incident was brought up by Villarreal as an example of 'Police gone mad.' The fact of the matter is that a law enforcement officer was very seri­ ously hurt when he came after being called by the neighbors to check on the party. This man hád to have over 100 stitches in his head after the injury. The other officers came after hearing that a fellow officer was down and had to restore order to the individuals at the party with force because these angry young men and women assaulted an officer. Who's the one out of control in this case? Don't be misled by Mr. Villarreal, the young people at that party were not innocent because they assaulted a police officer. The reason more people are com­ plaining about law enforcement offi­ cers being too violent is because citi­ zens no longer respect the laws of the land. They take out this disre­ spect on the police. If we didn't have law enforcement, then what good would the law do? If you are doing nothing wrong, you have no reason to worry about the law. If you are doing something wrong, you have a reason to worry about the law. People instead of owning up to their wrong-doings are told by soci­ ety to blame their faults on society or somebody else. Police are not criminals, criminals are criminals. As long as people disrespect and abuse the law and don't take per­ sonal responsibility of their crimes, this country will continue to suffer from crime. Economics, society, and police don't cause crimes, criminals cause crimes. Randy Samuelson, Young Conserva­ tives o f Texas Government senior Contradictions Shiloh Daniel makes some very statem ents contradictory (9 /2 1 /9 8 ). You state that "'soft-money'-ban- ning proposal so valiantly backed by Sens. John McCain and Russell Feingold, six other brave Senate all other Senate Republicans, ..." Then towards the Democrats end of your article you say "Sup­ porters of reform can only hope that som etim e next year these clouds of scandal will no longer hide Republican attempts to save our corrupt system of campaign finance." Do you really think the Republi­ cans support the bill? By my count, you list eight Republicans who sup­ port it, and 48 who don't. Anyone can draft a bill, but the truth lies within the votes. Also, you state "It is shameful for Senator Lott to use procedural tricks to prevent a vote on this important reform bill that has such widespread public support." But then, you make some freaky claim that "Clinton, of course, is ultimate­ ly responsible for the mess in which we find ourselves, having risked everything reckless and pathetic affair with a woman he should have been smart enough to see was unstable." for a What? How did you go from blaming Trent Lott, everyone's favorite gay basher, to asserting that the presi­ dent is at fault? President Clinton has done nothing here but to give the bill his unwavering support. Maybe you should take a few logic classes. » And as for Clinton's "question­ able fund-raising tactics in 1996," before you go off judging Clinton, you might want to recall that Rea­ gan used to rent out the Lincoln bedroom for a cool million a night. Reed M arshal Becker Economics ju nio r Reinstitute prohibition I fail to see how rational Universi­ ty students can actually be apathetic to alcohol and how it effects the lives of humanity! First Zafar Choudhury should be commended for speaking against Brian Winter's notion that 18-year-old youths should have access to one of the most evil inven­ tions ever known to man. Alcohol is a drug ... "a substance other than food intended to affect the structure of the human body." From a biological perspective, wouldn't an organism such as a human long for positive effects that would further their survival? I suppose "free-will" enables us to be the only species that intentionally poses detriment to our­ selves. Drugs should be used to relieve illness and pain. Alcohol does the opposite, causing an addiction in the user which affect the individual themselves and everyone else they encounter. Why does our govern­ ment, which has a campaign against such substances, allow alcohol to flow in the veins of it's citizens? The 18th amendment should have never been repealed. I laugh when proponents of alcohol always use the argument that Prohibition failed. Since it was only in effect for 13 years ... no significant time was allotted for Prohibition to take root! Some may say I am infringing on people's choices. Not true. When a drunken 19-year-old crosses over a yellow line and runs through a car, killing and mutilating my two good friends, that's where Beth's, Daniel's and even my rights are being infringed! When you feel saddened because you know how much your mother wanted to attend UT but couldn't because her father "drank the fami­ ly's money away" that is where alco­ hol causes pain! How can a rational Congress allow human beings to put a substance in their body that can alter their thought process and change behaviors where innocent people can be hurt? There is no such thing as safe drinking for any age! Alcohol should be illegal and should have stayed illegal!

A series of poem s Randall read at the lecture revolves around her part­ ner's struggle w ith a chronic illness. "T hese po em s are a b o u t living w ith som eone w h o needs a special kind of consideration," Randall said. "W riting is m y w ay of dealing w ith the issue an d em erging from it." R andall told th e g ro u p th a t h er p o etry alw ays contains a political message and said she tries to address current new s issues, such as AIDS and global hunger, in her work. "I w an t these poem s to reach o u t to cover things w e know exist and w e see on the new s," R andall said. O ne set of poem s in her new book uses food recipes as a vehicle for com munication betw een women.

"H er testimonial lit­ erature looks at the relationships of w om en and show s h o w w o m en 's lives are affected by each other." Randall's poetry is able to address larger issues, H edeen said, while still maintaining a personal feel. "The tone of M argaret's poem s is very social, b u t still intim ate," she said.

September 28.1998 The Daily Texan Las Vegas man dies after suspected drug overdose Police still examining possibility of foul play after finding stolen silver buried in area farming town Associated Press LAS VEGAS — Ted Binion didn't die like the cowboy he was. He was found with his cowboy boots off, draped in a comfórter in front of a television set with an empty bottle of prescription drugs beside him. Police, who were called by his girlfriend, a former topless dancer, found heroin paraphernalia in a bathroom. Authorities weren't terribly suspi­ cious. Drugs had already cost him his stake in the family's Horseshoe Club, a downtown Las Vegas land­ mark started by his Texas gambler- father in the 1940s. But then three men were caught digging up millions of dollars worth of silver coins and bars — so much it overloaded a dump truck — that Binion had taken from the casino and buried smack in the middle of a nearby farm town. That led Binion's sister, Becky Behnen, who now owns the Horse­ shoe, to ask police to investigate whether her brother was murdered. Now au th orities are trying to decipher a tale straight out of the Wild West novels the 55-year-old rancher loved to read. At his funeral, a cowboy's tools — boots, spurs and a lariat — were placed on his coffin. An impeached federal judge gave the eulogy and the Doors' song "The End" was played.

It was literally tons and tons of — Wade Ueseke, Nye County Sheriff character I ever knew," said former judge Harry Claiborne, convicted in the 1980s of hiding income from the Internal Revenue Service. "fhope his death was accidental," said Richard Wright, Binion's long­ time friend and attorney. "But there are some suspicious circumstances." The suspicions started after his girlfriend, Sandy Murphy, found Bin­ ion's body on Sept. 17 in the home they had shared for four years. The empty prescription bottle next to him had been filled the day before with 120 tablets of the anxiety drug Xanax. Su sp icion s grew a night later when Rick Tabish, an ex-felon who buried the silver for Binion, was caught with two other men digging it up in the middle of the night. Police are curious about the rela­ tionship betw een M urphy and Tabish. His lawyer, Louis Palazzo, says they were only friends. Police are still awaiting toxicolog- ical reports on Binion's causé of death, and say they are treating the death as accidental unless they find evidence indicating otherwise. Ted Binion grew up when Las Vegas was still a sm all W estern town, and his father, Benny Binion, was one of its biggest casino own­ ers. Ted never went to college, but friends describe him as brilliant and well-versed in a variety of subjects. Drugs took over his life, though, and the state suspended his gaming license in the late 1980s. Earlier this year, gaming regulators rebuffed his attempt to regain his license. There also were questions about a gunman who sprayed bullets at his house and allegations he pointed a shotgun at a man at a local convenience store. "The Saturday before he died he told me he was back on it [heroin] but he was going to get off of it," said his brother, Jack Binion. "After he lost his license, he had no incen­ tive to stay off the stuff. And it's awful easy to fall off." Earlier this year, he hired Tabish to build a 12-foot-deep concrete vault buried in a lot he owned on the main street of Pahrump, a dusty town 63 miles west of Las Vegas.

ASSOCIATED PRESS sands of pounds of silver. "Most people would have made arrangements to put it in some type of bank vault, but Ted marched to a different drum m er," Jack Binion said. "He thought he would bury it near a public place so no one could steal it without it being noticed." At 3 a.m. on the night after Binion died, deputies found Tabish using a bulldozer and backhoe to load an estimated $5 million worth of silver into a dump truck so overloaded that it was sinking under the weight. "I was astounded when I got up on the tru ck ," said Nye County Sheriff Wade Lieseke. "I couldn't believe my eyes. It was literally tons and tons of silver." Tabish and two men with him — including the manager of Binion's nearby ranch — were arrested on theft charges. Tabish said Binion w anted the silv er m oved to his ranch for safekeeping. The sheriff says there's a lot more to the story. "I talked to Ted three weeks ago and he said he had some gold locat­ ed in a vault out there," Lieseke said.

On Saturday night against Rice, the Texas tailback emphatically dis­ missed such speculation — with a lowered shoulder a quick juke to the left and a bridgework-rattling stif- farm. Williams delivered what was arguably the most dominant perfor­ mance of his brilliant career, racking U p 318 rushing yards and six touch­ downs while leading the Longhorns to a 59-21 triumph over the Owls. Only one week after being held to a paltry 43 yards at Kansas State, the senior dazzled the Royal-Memorial Stadium crowd on almost all of his 30 carries, and afterwards admitted that even he was impressed with his game. "I was definitely in a zone," he said. "I was making moves that I've never made before. I was like, 'Who is this guy?"'

Consider what happened Satur­ day a public apology. Against Rice, Texas' offensive line said "I'm sorry" by manhandling the undersized Owl defensive front and giving Williams the room to run he could have only dreamed about a game ago. "My bad," the UT defense added, while holding the Rice option to sea­ son lows in time of possession (28:23) and total yards (277), and getting the ball back into Williams' hands early and often. The result was a 30-carry, 318- yard, six-touchdown performance that ranks as the most prolific in the 6-0, 225-pound back's storied career and a 59-21 win for the Horns.

For Texas, Saturday's showdown with Rice had a certain familiarity to it. Last year, a struggling Texas foot­ ball team limped into Rice Stadium coming off a’blowout loss and fea­ tured a defensive unit that could be described as ineffective at best. Even though the setting was a bit different — this time the Long­ horns played host — the circum­ stances surrounding Texas-Rice '98 were indeed the same. The Horns were fresh off a 48-7 drubbing at the hands of No. 5 Kansas State and its defense was ranked among the worst the nation. While the backdrop may have been similar, there was one thing that was radically different: the out­ come. Rather than picking up a somewhat undeserved win that caused many orangebloods to write Texas off, the '98 Longhorns put together one of their most inspirational performances en route to an astounding 59-21 win that silenced critics — for now. "We played from start to finish, IMPROVEMENT/Page 10 McGwire finishes with 70 Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Even Mark McGwire couldn't believe he hit an incredible 70 homers. "I've never even thought about it, dreamed about it," he said. "It's absolutely amazing! It blows me away!" The St. Louis Cardinals' slugger ended his assault on baseball's sacred home run record as mightily as he started it. He hit his 69th and 70th homers Sunday in his last game, a fitting finale for a year he began with a grand slam homer on opening day. "This is a season I will never, ever forget, and I hope everybody in baseball never forgets," McGwire told the cheering crowd after the game. McGwire, who hit five homers on the final week­ end, connected against Montreal Expos' rookie Mike Thurman in the third inning Sunday. He homered off Carl Pavano for No. 70 in the seventh. McGwire moved four ahead of the Chicago Cubs' Sammy Sosa and nine in front of the previous record set by Roger Maris in 1961. The total distance of McGwire's homers is 29,598 feet, nearly 400 feet higher than the peak of Mount Everest. President Clinton congratulated McGwire and invited the slugger and his son to the White House. McGwire lofted a 1-1 fastball 377 feet into the left- field seats for No. 69. With two outs in the seventh and the score 3-3, McGwire lined a first-pitch fastball 370 feet over the left-field wall. This time, even a curtain call from McGwire didn't quiet the 46,110 fans, who remained on their feet, cheering even as teammate Brian Jordan took a called third strike for the third out of the inning.

Associated Press HOUSTON — The Chicago Cubs walked off the Astrodome field Sunday with their heads down, stunned by an llth -in n in g defeat and wondering whether their season was over. Then they reached the clubhouse and began to celebrate. "This," shortstop Jeff Blauser said, "has been a wild season for the Cubs." Moments after a heartbreaking 4-3 loss to the Houston Astros, the Cubs learned they were still alive in the NL wild-card race, thanks to San Francisco's 9-8 defeat at Col­ orado. The score in Denver couldn't have bolstered the Cubs' mood more if it had been announced by Harry Caray himself, because it means a one-game playoff with the Giants. "I'm halfway up the stairs coming to the clubhouse, and people were in here celebrat­ ing," closer Rod Beck said. "I knew it wasn't because we did good. People were jumping up and down shouting, 'There's a tomorrow! There's a tomorrow!"' Two hesitant defensive plays nearly elimi­ nated the Cubs, who blew a 3-1 lead and failed to score an earned run in 11 innings. But they're still alive. "M aybe somebody is looking out for us," Blauser mused. "W hat would somebody with a death-row reprieve say? Whoopee. We've got another chance." The Cubs and Giants will meet Monday Associated Press DENVER — When Dusty Baker heard the result from Houston, he was elated. Less than a minute later, he was deflated. Baker's Giants blew a seven-run lead and lost to the Colorado Rockies 9-8 Sunday, sending them to Chicago for a wild-card tiebreaker game against the Cybs on Monday night. "There was a 30-second swing between them losing and us losing," Baker said. "We are happy going to Chicago. We could be going home to paint the garage." Had the Giants held on to their lead, they would have headed to Atlanta as the NL's wild-card rep­ resentative in the playoffs. But light-hitting Neifi Perez hit a leadoff homer off Robb Nen in the ninth, leaving the Giants and Cubs (89-73) tied for the wild-card lead after 162 games. About a minute earlier, the Cubs lost 4-3 at Houston in the 11th inning, meaning a Giants win would have clinched the wild-card. Baker heard that result from fans listening to radios in the stands behind the dugout and from players who were watching the Cubs-Astros game on television in the clubhouse. Almost immediate­ ly, Perez burst the balloon. "I told you guys yesterday about my dream of a one-game playoff," Baker said. "I knew it would be Chicago. I wish my dream hadn't come true. I can't remember how the dream turned out." Baker said the Giants, who had their six-game winning streak snapped, will have their "hottest pitcher going, Mark Gardner." ASS O C IA T ED PRE SS Chicago's Mark Grace looks at the scoreboard from the dugout during the closing minutes of the Cubs' 4-3 loss to Houston. night at Wrigley Field, with the winner earn­ ing a playoff berth against the Atlanta Braves. All three wild-card contenders lost Sun­ day. The New York Mets were eliminated at Atlanta. With a victory, the long-suffering Cubs would have clinched their first playoff appearance since 1989. But Houston's Carl Everett tripled leading off the 11th when a retreating Sammy Sosa shied away from the ball as he reached the warning track, and Richard H idalgo's sacrifice fly gave the Astros the win. The Giants and Cubs will meet in the NL's first one-game playoff since 1980, when Houston beat Los Angeles to win the West. In 1995, Seattle defeated the Angels in a one- game playoff for the AL West title. Horns continue streaks against Baylor, Tech Scott Godley Daily Texan Staff The long-standing volleyball struggles of Baylor and Texas Tech against Texas might not be as infamous as Prairie View A&M 's football losing streak, but they're getting closer. The Panthers may have won their first football game in nine years on Saturday, but the dice did not roll quite as nicely for Baylor and No. 25 Texas Tech, as the 13th-ranked Longhorns continued their dominance over both opponents this weekend. With Friday night's victory over Baylor (15-13, 12-15, 15-3, 15-2), Texas kept intact a win streak against the Bears that dates all the way back to the two schools' first m eet­ ing in 1974. During the schools' 24-year rivalry Texas has won every single m eet­ ing, Friday's win being No. 44. The case is not much better for Texas Tech, as their 3-0 loss Saturday night (15-9, 18-16, 15-5) keeps them w inless against Longhorns since 1992.

On their first recorded collabora­ tion , T u rn styles and Junkpiles, this group of itinerant m usicians breaks th e m o ld o f m a n y C h ic a g o acts (in clu d in g those acts to w h ich the Pullman members belong). They shy aw ay from the so-called "post" or "math" rock scene m ade famous by m any of their labelmates and bear no resemblance to the jazz and electrón­ ica fields that are so pervasive now a­ d a y s.

W h en ev er h e 's on screen, De Niro seems a little tense and cranky, like someone who is con­ stipated. This intensity usually works (H eat, R agin g B ull), so m etim es it seems misplaced (Wag the Dog), but it alw ay s co m m an d s a tten tio n . De Niro's latest movie, Ronin, features him at his best; the movie is worth watching for his performance alone. The co n v o lu ted p lo t rev olv es around a group of mercenaries who are assembled to steal a briefcase for someone they've never met. The film never reveals the contents of the case, bu t this is a ctu a lly w orks to its advantage. By leaving it up to the audience's imagination (a la Pulp Fic­ tion) the b rie fca se is m uch m ore dynam ic than if it ju st contained something mundane like explosives or secret assassination plans. The mission soon becomes messy as double-crosses and missed oppor­ tunities abound. Since the group con­ sists of criminals, it is not surprising that none can be trusted. This makes for an in terestin g guessing gam e film RONIN Starring: Robert De Niro, Jean Reno Director JohrfFrankenheimer .Playing at Highland, Riverside Rating: (out of five) throughout the movie. De Niro turns in an excellent per- forfnance as the team's self-appoint- • ed leader. His tough-guy talk and knowing grimace make him extreme­ ly believable as a man who could accomplish the dangerous mission on the mean streets of France. The rest of the ensemble is made up of exceptional foreign talent. Jean Reno (The Professional, Mission: Im possible) plays a m em ber of the group and provides a nice foil for De Niro's intensity. The two men bond over the course of the action and pro­ vide the only strong relationship in an otherwise cold film. Stellan Skarsgárd (Good Will Hunt­ ing) proves to be the only member of the to have absolutely zero personality. His per­ team w ho seem s formance is the only weak link in the film, as he sleepw alks through his role. While the cast is top-notch, John Frankenheimer's car chases are the real highlights of the film. Franken- heimer stages these scenes brilliantly, and there is a burst of excitem ent every time one occurs. Pedestrians, cars and just about everything else around the French countryside is in danger w henever anyone gets in a car. One could only wish De Niro and company could have hit a few more Frenchmen along their path of destruction. While the car chases satisfy, the cli­ max disappoints. While Ronin does an excellent job of creating an enve­ lope of mystery around the briefcase and features the presence of danger everywhere, it simply doesn't pay off at the end. The clim ax stretch es believability, it is not very exciting and it does not leave a strong impres­ sion on viewers. Also, a common problem associ­ ated with caper films about merce­ naries is that there is no emotional touchstone. When all of the charac­ te rs are co ld ly p r o fe s s io n a l, it leaves the audience a bit detached Elliot Smith's performance Saturday was an emotion-filled event. Toby M orris/D A IL Y TEXAN STAFF Robert De Niro pauses from a breakneck car chase to get medieval on someone's ass in the new suspense-thriller Ronin from the entire film, and Ronin toes this edge closely before barely com­ ing out on top. D espite a disappointing conclu­ sion, R onin is an extrem ely w ell- m ade and su fficie n tly in tellig e n t film that overcom es its faults. De N iro m ak es the m o v ie w ith h is excellent performance, and one can o n ly h o p e fo r h is sak e th a t he sp en d s som e of his p ay ch eck on some much-needed fiber. Elliot Smith proves he knows more than misery ________________ - p i . _ i Stephanie Trong Daily Texan Staff After the third song in the open­ ing band Q uasi's set, the sold-out crow d at Liberty Lunch let out a su ccessio n o f scream s and yelps. All of a sudden, the sea of people rose in unison onto their tiptoes, trying to get a precious glimpse of the star of the show. Outfitted in a b la ck , b le a c h e d -sta in e d T -sh irt, and sh y ly p e e k in g o u t b e h in d sp rig s o f ru m pled , scrag g ly bed hair, the spectacle was none other than Elliott Smith himself. Try as he m ight to stay in the b a c k g ro u n d as h e h e lp e d o u t frie n d s Sam C o o m e s and Ja n e t W eiss on their calculated, chaotic songs, there was no denying — all eyes were on him. People strained th e ir n ecks try in g to get a good glim pse of the man who made an appearance on national television live music ELLIOT SMITH When: Saturday, Sept. 26 Played at: Liberty Lunch Opening: Quasi last spring, sh arin g air tim e and accolades with Celine Dion. A p p aren tly , an O scar n o m in a­ tio n can do a lo t fo r a p e rso n . Sm ith's song "M iss M isery," from the Good Will Hunting soundtrack, earned him mounds of press expo­ su re and co n firm e d w h at lo n g ­ tim e fans already knew : Sm ith is som ething special. Before all the hype, Smith would treat co n cert-g o ers to an a tm o s­ phere o f intim acy beyond silence. All in attendance would stay qui­ etly reverent, focusing on the man sitting before them who stole their hearts with his acoustic guitar. F ro m th e sta rt, h o w e v e r, la s t Saturday night's show was sure to be a departure from his previous perform ances. The audiences have more than tripled from a year ago, filling Liberty Lunch to maximum c a p a c ity . W h en S m ith to o k th e stage for his own set, it was a mere m atter of m usical chairs.
