The amendment to the Higher Education Act, which suspend­ ed eligibility for federal student assistance of any student who is convicted of a drug crime, was authored in 1998 by Rep. Mark Souder, R-lnd., but was changed last year to only affect students who committed offenses while receiving aid. The provision was not the main focus of the Higher Education Access Act of 2007, but could affect many students. According to a study released by Students for Sensible Drug Policy, there have been more than 200,000 students in the nation and 15,026 students in Texas who have been denied federal aid because of drug con­ victions since the law was enacted in 1999. However, UT has had fewer than five such instances, said Henry Urick, assistant director of UT's Student Financial Services. Austin Community College reported zero.

Illustration by Joey Castillo D a ily Texan Staff North Austin dental clinic patients fall ill By Am anda DeBard Daily Texan Staff Carbon monoxide poisoning at Affordable Dentures in North Austin Monday was the first time in 15 years so many patients have come from one facility, said Dr. Gary Mailman, director of hyper­ baric services for St. David's Healthcare. It has not yet been confirmed where the carbon monoxide in the dental facility came from. Twenty-two patients were transported by ambu­ lance from the scene. The two who opted to walk away requested emergency medical services and were transported by ambulance to St. David's North Austin Medical Center later in the morning, said Ed Racht, medical director for Austin/Travis County Emergency Medical Services. The first patients were treated around 11:30 a.m. "It was a relatively quick detection of carbon monoxide poisoning, because they were nauseous, dizzy and had headaches " Racht said. 'Thankfully, nobody showed serious signs or symptoms of heart problems." Mailman said the patients had between 5-percent and 15-percent carbon monoxide in their blood­ streams. "Five to 10 percent is comparable to cigarette smoke," he said. As of 2 p.m. yesterday, four people had been placed in a hyperbaric chamber, and doctors were looking at a fifth patient. Some of these patients have underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart problems, and one patient is pregnant, Mailman said. "We don't believe anyone in the chamber is in critical condition," Mailman said "Some might have to be kept overnight for observation." As part of their treatment, the patients are placed in a hyperbaric chamber and 100-percent oxygen is pumped in. A person usually has 21-percent oxygen in their bloodstream, but the chamber increases the oxygen level to 100 percent. Mailman and Racht urged those who were exposed to carbon monoxide but did not come to hospital to seek medical care from their local hospital or doctor.

Below, D avid M ora les' Mourners remember victim o f unsolved East Austin murder By Philip Jankowski Daily Texan Staff The weather reflected the somber mood Monday as family and friends of David Rivas Morales laid him to rest less than a week after unknown attackers beat him to death outside of his mother's apartment in East Austin. A crowd of more than 100 gathered at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church to grieve. Some were dressed in burnt orange, while others wore T- shirts bearing Morales' name. "As vou can see, for David, the skies went gray," said Jessica Gonzales, Morales' cousin. The murder occurred the night of June 20 in the parking lot of the Booker T. Washington Terraces, an East Austin housing complex. While a co-worker was dropping Morales off, he accidentally struck a two-year-old boy, Michael Hosea Jr., with his car. The accident did not seriously in]ure the child, but a fight soon broke out between the driver and an unknown number of assailants. When Morales came to intervene, the attackers turned on him. Soon, Morales lay covered in blood on the parking lot pavement. While police responded within minutes, emer­ gency medical service vehicles were M ORALES continues on page 2 Nursing school lacks professors UT denies admission to qualified applicants due to faculty shortage By Regina Philip Daily Texan Staff A nationwide shortage of nursing instructors has per one professor for undergraduate clinical courses and eight students per one professor for graduate clinical courses. Carter said the nursing admissions this year had to turn away 10 to 20 exceptional students because they did not have enough faculty members to teach them. affected UT. The School of Nursing was forced to turn away qualified students this year due to a shortage of faculty, said Patricia Carter, an assistant dean m the school. The low number of faculty is not only a problem at UT, but nationally, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. In their 2006-2007 report on college nursing pro­ grams,. the AACN found that almost 71 percent of schools responding to their survey cited faculty shortages as a reason for turning away applicants The nursing school at UT currently has 1,000 nursing students and 125 professors. The Texas Board of Nursing Examiners requires 10 students The nursing school has been struggling with this issue for a while and tries their best each semester to ensure enough professors for students, Carter said. This past year, the school received 200 applicants and accepted 150 students based on their grades in science classes, volunteer work and essays. Carter said they accepted this many students because of their outstanding credentials. She said the school always welcomes professors to apply but added that the standards are very high A faculty member must have a master's degree in a prominent university to teach undergraduate students and a doctorate to teach in graduate pro­ grams. All faculty members must have work experi­ ence before applying for a position.

In d e x \folume 107, Number 167 25 cents World & Nation............ 3 Opinion..........................4 TUESDAY, JUNE 26,2007 P ageT wo T h e D a il y T e x a n Conference focuses on low-volume roads By JJ Wells Daily Texan Staff Engineers, planners, scientists and economists are gathering this week at the Sheraton Hotel in Austin to discuss what organizers say is one of the most important issues fac­ ing the world today: tíre quality of Earth's low-volume roads. 9th International Conference on Low-Volume Roads, partially hosted by UT, col­ lected various experts to discuss ways to ensure that the millions of miles of low-volume roads around the world are fit for travel. The Conference chairman Michael T. Long said that these roads are a valuable resource that shouldn't be overlooked. "Low-volume roads are lifelines in some countries," he said. "They provide the only farm-to-market or ranch-to-market transportation to supply people with food. If these roads aren't navigable, the people that rely on them to get their supplies suffer." In the United States, low-vol­ ume roads are defined as road­ ways that are traversed by fewer than 400 cars per day. They make up nearly three quarters of the country's roads. But much of the conference is focused on the roadways of devel­ oping countries, where it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to see fewer than 40 cars per day, according to organizers. One example of a low-volume road in a foreign country, Long said, is the "Death Road" that runs through the mountains of Bolivia, part of which was carved into a mountainside by hand. It is the site of a fatal accident almost every other week. "It's a very dangerous route," he said, "but it's one of the only ways to get materials through the mountain." Austin was chosen as the site for this year's conference because of a proposal submitted by UT's Center for Transportation Research, said Long. "We selected Austin four years ago because of the facilities and research that UT has committed to the subject," he said. Jolanda Prozzi, a conference organizer and a research associate for UT's Center for Transportation Research, said that the conference provides a way for people with the same concerns to share solutions. "People can compare experienc­ es across disciplines and discuss the problem with people from all over the world," she said. The conference, which is held every four years, welcomed rep­ resentatives from more than 25 countries, including Afghanistan, South Africa, Oman and Ireland. Attendees will apply the confer­ ence's techniques and their new- B ry a n t H a e rtie in | Daily Texan Staff Professor Nabil J.

Summer courses enrich the public By Mary Tuma Daily Texan Staff A personal enrichment program run as part of UT's Division of Continuing Education is offering five courses this summer. The growing Odyssey Program, which began in 2003, offers the general public the resources of in short-term, the University noncredit courses covering a wide range of disciplines. Most of the classes are held in the evenings, enabling those with full-time jobs to participate. Lois Kim, assistant director of University Extension and coor­ dinator of the Odyssey Program, said people sometimes think of it as a program just for older people, but classes are typically diverse in age and background. "The Roots of Western Warfare," "Great Women Writers" and "Planets, Stars and the Universe," along with two other courses, are offered this summer. "We strive to give a taste of different kinds of subject areas that students take across the disci­ plines," Kim said. A lawyer, an engineer and even a practicing psychiatrist of 30 years attend psychology pro­ fessor Jacqueline Woolley's course, "Down the Rabbit Hole: Psychology of the Fantasy-Reality Distinction." Woolley, who also teaches the class to undergraduates during the school year, said that teaching to such a range of students is both challenging and helpful. "M y students are inquisitive, well-read and very up-to-date on the current psychology literature, which may make the dialogue of the class different than an under­ graduate course," she said. Woolley said she was very impressed by how students with careers made time to enroll. "I have a student who is a law­ yer, loves psychology and just really missed taking classes," she said. The program teamed up with the Blanton Museum of Art when the new museum opened in the spring of 2006, offering a lecture series taught by Blanton curators. It also coordinated with the UT English department for a lecture series on literature. The last class registration period ends July 10. NURSING: UT employs 125 professors in nursing school From page 1 The lack of adequately trained faculty is not the only source of the national nursing shortage, said Janis Carelock, a professor in the nursing school. Many stu­ dents do not meet the require­ ments that the admissions board mandates. She said students need to be qualified to become part of the nursing field. "The problem with the nurs­ ing shortage is not because of the lack of interest in the field," said Sheba Kuriakose, who was recently admitted to the nursing school. "It is due to the fact that students get turned away, because there is not enough room in nurs­ ing schcxjls, and in turn, there are no nurses in the job field." Kuriakose said she hopes the faculty shortage will not be a problem in the future. "...there is not enough room in nursing schools, and in turn, there are no nurses in the job field." Sheba Kuriakose, nursing m ajor "Nursing isn't just about biol­ ogy or anatomy," Kuriakose said. "It teaches us to make a difference, and I just hope in the future there are enough students POISON: H ospital to ‘w atch, w ait an d see’ From page 1 If an exposed person does not seek medical care, the carbon monoxide will wash out of their bloodstream in five to six hours by breathing regular air, Mailman said. Someone who comes in with minimal symptoms can breathe through a 100-percent oxygen mask, and the carbon monoxide will leave their body between one- and-a-half hours and one hour and 40 minutes. These patients usu­ ally leave the hospital two to three hours later. Someone placed in the hyperbaric chamber will be carbon monoxide free in 20 minutes. Mailman said the hospital is at the point of "watch, wait and see what happens" right now. "We tell everyone we treat to check back with their family doc­ tor after leaving the hospital, but with the right treatment, one can recover from carbon monoxide poisoning," he said.

AID: Law has only affected 5 atUT From page 1 who were denied aid due to their answer or non-answer to the "drug" question. "The reason for the discrepan­ cy may be that once the student is denied, they simply may decide not go to school," said Micah Daigle, director for Students for Sensible Drug Policy. "I believe that students who are dealing or abusing drugs probably aren't making the most of their educations," Souder, who was not available for comment Monday, states on his Web site, "it's one thing if they are going to do it with their own money or if their parents are going to pay, but it's something else to ask the American taxpayer to fund this kind of behavior." Adam Wolf, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, has been arguing his case against the policy for over a year. He is currently in the process of appealing the class- action complaint that was filed by three students and dismissed by federal courts in October. Wolf said that he is arguing two claims: double jeopardy, citing that students shouldn't be punished a second time for their drug offenses, and equal protection. "You can be convicted of a rape, a murder, or for defraud­ ing the federal government for student loans," he said. "But if you are caught with a small amount of marijuana, then you can't receive money for school." MORALES: No arrests made in murder case so far From page 1 delayed due to standard proce­ dure that required them to wait for police to clear a potentially dangerous area. Since the incident, community leaders have called on emergency officials to answer for what was perceived as a slow response time. EMS officials said it took them seven minutes to arrive on the scene because of traffic, with a stag­ ing time of three minutes before Morales was taken away. However, Morales' sister Margaret said that she felt the response time was clos­ er to 20 or even 30 minutes. Morales' death received nation­ al and international attention after initial reports by Austin Police Department and the media loosely connected the homicide with the Juneteenth parade that occurred nearby, insinuating that the mur­ der had undertones of mob-relat­ ed racial violence. APD has since apologized for the press release. No one has yet been arrested for the homicide. Friends characterized Morales, who will be remembered by his family as "Oso," or bear, a name he got for his large bear hugs, as a respectful and fun-loving man whose kindness and compassion was taught to him at an early age. To help pay for the funeral, well-wishers gave more than $6,000 through donations and a charity barbecue this past week­ end, which Gonzales said went well past when they had intended it to end, until there was no more food left. He has been buried at Assumption Cemetery in South Austin. COPYRIGHT Copyright 2007 Texas Student Media.

However, officials denied reports that a governm ent representative m ay have been a party to the talks, which came as drug-related execu­ tions appear to have dipped slightly from their peak of several dozen per week earlier this year. The talks between the two drug gangs, the Sinaloa and the Gulf car­ tels, were first reported in The Dallas M ornin g New s' M on d a y edition. A U.S. and a Mexican official, both of w hom were not authorized to give their names, told The Associated Press that the talks were aimed at stopping battles to control lucrative trafficking routes to the U.S. market. The g a ngs decided that the turf battles were costing them too m uch money, too m uch weaponry and too m any deaths in their ow n ranks, leading them to seek a sort of nonaggression pact, according to a top official in the administration of President Felipe Calderon. "They realized they couldn't fight the governm ent and each other at the same time," the official said. Since taking office in December, Calderon has sent more than 24,000 troops to areas plagued by drug violence. A U.S. official in Washington, also speaking on condition he not be quoted by name, confirmed reports that the cartels may be reaching out to each other. "W e've had rumblings, intelligence information that the two cartels are trying to com e to an agreement to stop causing each other trouble," the U.S. official said. Both officials said there was no evidence to support reports — a m ong those, a colum n in the Mexican newspaper Reforma — suggesting that the governm ent had brokered or in any way been involved in a supposed meeting of drug trafficking chiefs. In past administrations, Mexican officials have agreed to leave one cartel untouched in return for secret payments. The clearest case was that of Mexico's former drug czar, Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo, w ho was arrested in 1997 after investigations found that former cocaine kingpin A m ado Carrillo Fuentes was paying Gutierrez Rebollo for protection. Gutierrez Rebollo is serving a 71 - year sentence for drug trafficking and racketeering. Bush 'authorized and ordered' his death, Cuban leader alleges HAVANA — Fidel Castro on M onday accused President Bush of "authorizing and ordering" an attempt on his life, although his rambling essay on the subject provided no details. American law now prohibits the U.S. government from ordering the assassination of foreign leaders, but declassified U.S. documents have show n that the CIA made numerous attempts to kill Castro in the early years after the 1959 Cuban revolution. Castro's essay noted that President Gerald Ford signed an order banning official assassinations, and said he didn't believe that Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton ever tried to have him killed. But Castro alleged that Bush has other ideas. N ow 80, Castro hasn't been seen in public in the 11 m onths since he underwent em ergency intestinal sur­ gery. Cuba's provisional governm ent is being led by his younger brother Raul while he recovers. Meanwhile, he's become a prolific essay writer. In one, on May 29, Castro accused Bush of renewing U.S. attempts to assas­ sinate him. "I'm not the first, nor will I be the last, w hom Bush has ordered to be deprived of life," Castro wrote then. His latest essay, signed Sunday afternoon and published M on day in state media, referred to that May 29 allegation. "W hy did I say one day in a reflec­ tion that Bush authorized or ordered m y death? This phrase can seem a m biguous and imprecise," Castro wrote. "Perhaps it would be more exact, although even m ore confus­ ing, to say that he authorized it and ordered it." Castro promised to explain himself, but never did, writing only that "really it is a mystery to name those respon­ sible for the hundreds of attempts on m y life, all the direct and indirect forms to cause my death were used."

The confrontation betw een the form er head of the Environm ental Protection Agency and her critics grew heated at times. Som e m em ­ bers of the audience shouted in anger, only to be gaveled down by Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., w ho chaired the hearing. For three hou rs W hitm an faced charges from N adler and others that the Environm ental Protection A gency's public state­ m ents after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks gave people a false sense of safety.

Since the attacks, independent governm ent review s have faulted the EPA's handling of the im m e­ diate afterm ath and the agency's long-term cleanup program for nearby buildings.

Lt. Tom m y Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said the three were found at their hom e about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details. Pope said results of autopsies on Benoit, his wife Nancy, and 7- year-old son Daniel were expected Tuesday. Benoit, 40, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental cham pion and held several tag-team titles over his career.

Don Hutto Residential Facility lies just past the intersec­ tion of Welch and Howard streets in Taylor, Texas, half an hour from Austin, but the prison's very existence situates it at painfully important intersections in American society today. Hutto deliber­ ately stands at the crossroads of the worst examples of misguided immigration policy, the mislabeled "war on terror,' the punish­ ment-oriented criminal justice system and the privatization of previously nationalized services. These four aspects of American political life coincide like never before in the secluded facility across from the railroad tracks in Taylor. The Hutto detention center does not exist strictly to execute immigration policy, but it serves as a reminder to foreign fami­ lies seeking political asylum that the sunlit road to the American dream often has a pit stop behind bars. The facility reminds two million other prison inmates, as well as the millions affected by the prison system, that our country's judicial philosophy intends primarily to punish, while rehabilitation and prevention come in far behind. The Corrections Corporation of America, who owns and operates the prison, along with 64 others nationwide, is the domestic equivalent of Halliburton or Kellogg, Brown and Root — a member of the club of misery profiteers. W hat to do, then, with a detention facility that brazenly defies international law regarding child imprisonment to the extent that the U.S. government denied access to a United Nations human rights special reporter in May? To the facility that even defies a 1997 court settlement, Flores v. Meese, that requires Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to ensure humane treatment for minors in custody? The easy answer, the visceral response to hearing about children in jail and to political asylum seekers is also the correct one: Shut down Hutto. But that easy answer comes with a price, a lingering, “Great. Now what?" The Hutto prison, at this malevolent locus of contemporary American politics, is half stockade, half symptom — a symptom of a problem that reaches far beyond its walls. Freeing its detainees is only the first step. The second is a critical reexamination of the decisions that led to preemptive incarceration, and the third is to alter the political culture that engenders such punitive policies. Complaints about stereotypical illegal immigrants are false. The prison does not hold migrant farm workers, it holds asylum seek­ ers. For this reason also, a panic about a potential terrorist attack is false as well — the prisoners left their countries to escape persecu­ tion and violence, not to export it. Prisoners inside Hutto come from countries around the world that the United States has intervened in militarily, like Somalia, or economically, like Honduras. The U.S. government cannot feign ignorance about why emigrants attempt to escape repression from U.S.-friendly rulers or neoliberal trade policy in their home coun­ tries. This country's incomparable wealth and purported juridical freedom inspire immigrants to enter by any possible means. Yet understanding why people enter this country also requires under­ standing why people leave their own. From above, the crimson brick of Hutto's reception area must look like a festering sore, surrounded by sickly, jaundiced grass, encased in the shining stitches of razor wire and 12-foot fences. The significance of Hutto bleeds on the employees of CCA, whose attempt to make an honest living happens to put them in a dishon­ est business. It bleeds on Williamson County, which receives more than $180,000 a year for keeping the prison on its property. Hutto certainly bleeds on its progenitor, the federal government. More than anyone, it bleeds daily on those imprisoned there. But it also bleeds on us. And the T. Don Hutto Residential Facility will continue to do so until it is shut dowrn. By closing the prison, we can begin to heal the wounds created within the detained families. Yet when we cure what caused Hutto to begin with, we'll ensure none of us will ever bleed again. THE FIRING LINE Get your mascots right As a graduate of the University of Oregon and a proud Duck fan, I can only imagine the horror Oregon State University students and Beaver fans across the nation, might have at reading June 25's Sports Briefly headline, "Ducks repeat as World Series champs in Omaha; win 9-3." Obviously, someone in the sports section doesn't read the reports they write headlines for, since the second paragraph in the AP report starts, "The Beavers won all five of their CWS g a m e s..." To put this in perspective, I ask the reader to ponder how this headline would be received: "Aggies reign supreme with win over USC in 2005 BCS championship." Paul Mathews Neuroscience graduate student Think of the children In response to "Vigil calls for jus­ tice," June 25: When we talk about policy and the politics of what's happening, we miss the main issue and the main reason the protest at Hutto was held — there are chil­ dren in prison. Talk about illegality and criminality in the same con­ versation as Hutto, in addition to showing a real misunderstanding of immigration law and dehumanizing fellow human beings, obscures the crystal-clear, absolute and moral truth. Imprisoning children is clearly wrong, clearly immoral and clearly a violation of very basic, very American principles. Toddlers do not belong in jail. One very sad thing about the facil­ ity is that there is another way to LEGALESE work with the refugee families and refugee children that are inside of Hutto that has been used in the past, but that today is being ignored completely. Before Hutto, immigrant families either had expe­ dited immigration hearings or were issued a notice to appear in court. Children weren't sent to prison with their parents for noncriminal charges like they are today. One of the contributing factors to the policy change is the presence of the private sector, which is profiting from the detention of each individ­ ual inside of the facility. Each child inside of the facility is worth $42 per day to Corrections Corporation of America, the group managing the prison. CCA's management of Hutto points out a problem with our criminal justice system as a whole — people are profiting from the detention of other human beings, and there is a conflict between the goal of private enterprise and the goals and values of our society. No one should profit from the deten­ tion of a child. That's how you get untrained guards and situations like the one that developed with the Texas Youth Commission.

When the good people do nothing By Salil Puri Daily Texan Colum nist Two savage beatings violated the Austin com m unity in the last two weeks. In the case of M ichael Riojas, the Austin Police D epartm ent has a com atose m an w ith a severe head injury, broken ribs and no leads. They know that the victim was not mugged and that Riojas' friends and family seem to think the attack was random. Riojas left Merkaba, a North Austin bar, at 2 a.m. after drink­ ing with his friends and was impaired enough to think w alk­ ing several miles home was a good idea. He w as assaulted a few blocks away in a parking lot along Interstate Highway 35. W hether R iojas had inad­ vertently offended som eone at M erkaba, w as follow ed from the bar, or a random assailant happened to be hanging out in Andy H ow ard's Pest Control parking lot at the exact m om ent Riojas w as strolling through is irrelevant. The odds are that at 2 a.m ., as people were going hom e, from less than a fifth of a mile away, som eone saw som e­ thing. N o one has com e forward. Apparently no one w as driv­ ing along 1-35 at that time. Our public, our news agencies and our authorities simply ask politely for witnesses to come forward. As citizens, as human beings, we should demand it. A few days before, on the other side of town, David M orales was brutally pum m eled to death in the parking lot of his subsidized housing com plex while trying to prevent several people from attacking his friend, who had accidentally bum ped a sm all child w ith his vehicle, and was trying to make sure the boy was OK. Rather than attend to the child or call 911, these men punched and kicked a 40-year-old peace­ maker to death, w hile 10 to 15 w itnesses looked on. No one stopped them. N o one has identified the crim inals responsible. Apparently, the perpetrators were not known to anyone. They had no connections to the neigh­ borhood. Obviously, they just happened to be w alking through the apartm ent parking lot and decided to kill a man. O ver 200 years ago, Edm und Burke stated, "A ll that is neces­ sary for the trium ph of evil is that good men do nothing." Forty years ago, 40 people shocked a nation as they w it­ nessed a man slowly stab their neighbor, N ew Yorker Kitty G enovese, to death and did nothing. Today, rath er than boiling over w ith fierce outrage over w hy we, as a people, have failed to develop a keener sense of per­ sonal and ethical responsibility, our public, our news agencies and our authorities sim ply ask politely for w itnesses to come forward. As citizens, as human beings, w e should dem and it. Instead, w e hurl baseless and misdirected allegations of m isconduct at A PD and Austin EM S, forcing them to spend time and resources explaining that officers knew w hat they were doing when they didn't move M orales after arriving on scene. The police chief has to defend his departm ent's policy of pro­ viding safety for EM S person­ nel by securing a crim e scene before allow ing them to pro­ ceed. It sure is a good thing that our EM S director took the time to explain that heavy traffic can cause a two-m inute trip to take seven minutes. Furthermore, our local leader­ ship stutters and stum bles to avoid any potential racial ten­ sions by assuring us that the Juneteenth celebration across the street and race were com pletely irrelevant in the M orales murder. APD spokesm an C om m ander Harold Piatt insists, "T h ere is absolutely no reason to think that race had anything to do with this." Local news o rgan ization s m eticulously edit any refer­ ence to ethnicity of the attackers out of their reports instead of em ploying investigative report­ ers to root out the truth. The attackers were black, and the two victims were Hispanic. It doesn't take a social or evo­ lutionary psychologist to know that race played some role, how ­ ever minor. We all know it, and we don't care. W hite, Black, Brow n, Yellow and Purple, we all want these men to face to justice. If just a few people other than David Morales had remembered that evening, B urke's m axim Austin would not be less one good man today. Puri is a psychology, history, government and Middle Eastern studies senior. The not-so-dream team Chancellor Angela Merkel: the so- called European "dream team." There are high expectations for this team as well, as they are all quite a deal younger and hope­ fully more energetic than their predecessors. Already on track to push through the new European U nion to constitution, strengthen ties between Europe and the United States, it seems that this "dream team " has got their act together. and But appearances, as always, deceive. Unfortunately, the play­ ers themselves are not so certain of their direction, and with good reason. After all, Brown has big shoes to fill. Sarkozy, whose remarks mir­ ror the icy words Merkel gave to Brown, will miss Blair, who he sees as a man "w ho has looked for compromise in Europe." The French president continued with less-than-complimentary words: "I hope and am sure that Gordon Brown, by passing from 11 to 10 Downing Street, will have the heart to have a positive dis­ course." Positive discourse, like that seen two years earlier, when the French government voted down the closest thing to a new EU con­ stitution yet. It seems the new kid on the block is not the only one with issues to work out. Amid the smiles, compliments and prom­ ises of action, Sarkozy and Merkel remain constantly at odds over economic policy. Brown's ideas have already drawn fire from Sarkozy, and Merkel remains only marginally supportive. As Brown becomes Britain's 52nd prime minister this week, he will inherit the many head­ aches of politics in Europe. For example, an undercurrent of elit­ ism runs among the big players against the United Kingdom, who still maintains the pound, not the euro, as the national currency. A bigger pain still is the hand­ ful of smaller European nations, the Czech Republic such as and Poland, who can seriously impede legislation such as the new EU constitution. Blair's role in Europe was to put on and maintain a delicate balancing act that eventually would crash at the pivotal moment. Now it's Mr. Brown's turn. H opes "d ream team " will come up big in the European Parliament seem large­ ly unfounded, however. As Blair stated June 14 after a meeting in with Czech representatives Brussels, there would be "real dif­ ficulties" between several nations. Especially with British general elections coming next year, the timetable for this team does not look generous. Once again in Europe, watch for lots of noise and little progress. that the As for Brown's prime ministe­ rial term, an uneventful year-long run seems on the books. By Matthew Kennedy Daily Texan Columnist He was with us from the death of Diana to the invasion of Iraq, and on Wednesday, Tony Blair, Labour Prime Minister since 1997, will join the ranks of history when he leaves the prime m inister's res­ idence at No. 10 Downing Street and steps down from an eventful spell as leader of the British gov­ ernment. This will leave the Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown in the seat of power until the general elections promised in 2008. Naturally, the first question in American minds runs, "Will the new prime minister remain as unwavering and unquestioning in his support of the American intervention in Iraq?" The prime minister-to-be stresses that he will fulfill Britain's obligations, but Brown has much more to deal with. After just over one month of anticipation, Brown will take his place alongside French President N icolas Sarkozy and Germ an Kennedy is a history and European studies junior. From top, Gordon Brown, A ngela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy.

EDITOR'S NOTE The Monday, June 25, feature "Act aims to protect religious rights of students" was an unfinished, unedited version and mistakenly run. A full and more recent version will be published next Monday, July 2. The Texan regrets the error. KÜ! sound approach to musicianship, the two dozen voices joined in unison, singing for a better tomorrow as horns blare and drums ring. Listeners with minimal affection for the Spree are unlikely to be swayed by this new effort - after all, many people can take only so many joyful crescendos. Which is not to say The Fragile Army occupies exclusively old territory. The Spree's aimlessness has been curbed and the songs have grown more focused. Like a rock opera without visuals, the full album maintains a steady tone of cinematic grandeur. Also, the incorporation of the occa­ sional rocking guitar, as on "Get Up and Go," is a pleasant surprise. All of this means that while the Fragile Army may not reinvent the wheel, it is the Spree's finest album yet. For fans of the band and the curious with a toler­ ance for positivity, it's a safe bet. — Patrick Caldwell latest effort, Desire, serves as a resur­ rection for lyrical music and is an artful masterpiece crafted by intricate rhymes and intelligent content. On tracks like "Desire," the Queens native shines brightly as he "rides the baseline like Ginobli"and manages to entangle the listener in a web of col­ orful wordplay and lyrical genius. On "Welcome to theTerrordome," Monch spits 48 bars of venom and drops sweet nostalgic notes upon the ear­ drum, which are reminiscent of Chuck D and the legendary Public Enemy. The verbal onslaught of metaphors and punchlines that ensue make this political commentary entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. While this album lacks big-name producers and high-priced features, Monch does manage to snag a cameo appearance from Texas-bred Erykah Badu. On the heartfelt track "Hold On," these two make beautiful music by addressing gender and racial inequality while providing inspirational sounds that appeal to everyone.This soulful collaboration is easily one of the most thoughtful tracks on here and restores the poetic sincerity that has been miss­ ing from hip hop. Desire is a fresh sound in an industry full of monotony, and with this particular project Pharoahe Monch revisits the golden era of rap. Take Monch's precise delivery and com­ bine that with his incredible swagger, and it's easy to see why this particular work is an undeniable classic — Kevin Jack Pig Destroyer Phantom Limb Relapse ..«M il... r i n i r A while ago, someone told me Pig Destroyer were "the White Stripes of metal."While both groups don't need a bass player, Pig Destroyer differ from the Stripes in that the former group is actually worth your money. Also, most grindcore bands don't need to coordinate red-and-white outfits. The group has returned from a three-year recording hiatus with Phantom Limb. Yes, there are 14 songs on this album, but it's not an EP. And to think, some of the songs actually go over 3 minutes! Don't worry, there are plenty of shortcuts where the velocity and the fury of the band are in full force. Pig Destroyer had hinted at groove before, but on tracks like "Girl in the Slayer Jacket,""Alexandria" and "Loathsome," they slow things down a bit to fully flesh said groove out. The passages are still brutal, but they're also a nice reprieve (using the term loosely) from Pig Destroyer's trademark battery. Guitarist Scott Hull knows his way around a soundboard as much as he does a fretboard. The album, espe­ cially the guitar, is clear and still able to make new fans in weak listeners. Vocalist JR Hayes' lyrics are still in top form. He is able to tackle the most morose of subjects without randomly quoting a medical textbook or pan­ dering to B-grade horror shlock."Girl in the Slayer Jacket" shows that he has a side of humor, albeit a very, very dark one. The only possible downside about Phantom is that it can only be appre­ ciated at high volumes. But if you're not going deaf every day, stop listen­ ing to music. — Andy O'Connor The Polyphonic Spree The Fragile Army TVT Records Much has been made of The Polyphonic Spree's recent image adjustment. The jubilant 24-member symphonic vocal collective from Dallas long utilized flowing white robes to enhance their uplifting songwriting and vaguely religious (or cult) leanings. But with their third LR the Spree, mir­ roring unquestionably troubling times, they shed their old school hippie fash­ ion for red-and-black military fatigues. Couple that with chief visionary Tim DeLaughteCs focus on urgency in pre­ release interviews, and fans could be forgiven for expecting a different very dark take on the group's trademark, infuriatingly vague sunny optimism. Fortunately or unfortunately, The Fragile Army shatters those expecta­ tions. Sure, there's a dash of politics here and there (the Bush-centric title track) and the occasional moment of bleakness (the sometimes-dark "Mental Cabaret" the sole cut from last year's Wait EP). But for the most, part what devotees will encounter on The Fragile Army is unlikely to surprise them. The Polyphonic Spree retains the wall-of- KEITH URBAN Love, Pain & the whole crazy World Tour Bad Brains Build a Nation Megaforce While Bad Brains'new Adam Yauch- produced LP Build a Nation starts promisingly enough with the ironically tinged "Give Thanks and Praise," where­ in singer HR appears to call up lines of worship to God under a punk-rock riff, the rest of the album proves all too serious for this once seminal punk band. The years have been strangely kind to the D.C.- area punks who, despite their influence on key acts ranging from Black to Nirvana, have long since been a disgraced entity in the punk underworld, due to their blatant homophobia (such as in their song "Don't Blow Bubbles," where they sing about AIDS being punishment for gays) and violent nature. However, it seems it's somehow cool again to like the D.C. punksters who, nonetheless, do put on one of the most electric live shows of any punk band this side of getting sucker- punched by Rollins in the pit. Still, Build a Nation doesn't sniff at their former, DIY, lo-fi efforts, instead feel­ ing overproduced and — like many reunited punk bands, from the Sex Pistols to Negative Approach — sound more like speed metal than and punk band past or present. What made you get over all of Bad Brains baggage in the past was the level of fury in their music to the point of each song being incomprehensible. However, now, with tracks divided between phoned-in speed metal and yawn- inducing, lilting reggae, the fire has all but burned out. Which isn't to say that Bad Brains lovers won't appreciate the extra effort, as this will mean the band will undoubtedly tour again complete with the classic lineup of moshers and firestarters.

The $32 million Henry is report­ ed to receive for the transfer has me thinking that Barcelona may have taken over the role of "the soccer version of the Yankees." For years, England's Chelsea football club held that title. The squad won back-to-back English league titles largely due to their willingness to throw money at big name free agents. They contin­ ued that trend last offseason with huge contracts to court Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko. Shevchenko struggled in his first season with the club, scoring only four goals despite his contract reportedly being worth over $40 million. After all the big name signings and the money thrown at them, Chelsea finished second in the league. So what does that say about Barcelona and their future? Henry is on a whole other level from Shevchenko, and with Ronaldinhoand Lionel Messi help­ ing to feed Henry, he shouldn't have trouble finding the net. You can't help but wonder, though, if his expensive transfer will turn out to be a bust. Since we're comparing them to the Yankees, let's bring up Carl Pavano. After an impressive run in the 2003 playoffs, New York coughed up a little under $40 mil­ lion for the pitcher, only to see him make frequent trips to the DL. Pavano has only earned five wins in his two years with the team. Barcelona should know all about injuries. The team was knocked out of this year's Champions League tournament early, partly because both Messi and striker Sam uel E t o ' o struggled with injuries. Despite the history, Henry is still Henry and his signing makes Barcelona the most feared team in the world, regardless of sport. Four of the sport's top 10 play­ ers are wearing the Barca jersey: the Kobe of soccer in Henry, the Jordan of soccer in Ronaldinho, Maradona's successor in Messi and the most underrated finisher in the game with Eto'o. Add to that three of the best defenders in the world in Rafael Márquez, Gianluca Zambrotta and Lilian Thuram, and you have a dream team in every sense of the term. All that's left is for the squad to prove they are worth the money and accolades. The same team, without Henry, only finished second in the league this season, eerily similar to Chelsea's season. Barca fans are likely to blame it on injuries, but with that kind of money being spent, there are no excuses. Now, with Henry's fame added to the mix, it only gets bigger. Not only the payroll, but the expectations. Tougher competition awaits U.S. soccer; Copa America begins By Bhargav Katikaneni Daily Texan Columnist It's hard to put the United States' CONCACAF Gold Cup win in perspective for many rea­ sons, but mainly because some of the worst teams in the world play in this tournament. While Brazil, Argentina and the rest of the big boys in from South America play CONMEBOL, the Gold Cup featured teams like Honduras, Cuba and Guadeloupe, which I didn't even know was a coun­ try until recently. The Americans played only two teams who were actually in the World Cup last year —Trinidad and Tobago, and Mexico — and beat them both by only a goal. The perspective, though, is right around the comer. The newly crowned "Champions" will head to Venezuela to compete in South America's Copa America, which starts Tuesday. America will kick off their tournament action on Thursday against against Juan Roman Riquelme, Lionel Messi and the rest of the powerhouse Argentina squad. A strong show­ ing in this tournament would put a tiny stamp of validation on the Gold Cup victory. Until then, I'm going to think of the Gold Cup victory for what it is: one victory against Mexico, against whom the Americans have gone 8-0-1 on home soil since 2000. Their record against Argentina, however, is 2-4. Against Brazil, another Copa America par­ ticipant, the record is 1-12, and against Colombia, it is 3-8. To put it simply, a MLS-heavy American team is going to play against world-class players who play for some of the best club teams in the world. www.dailytexanonline.com Sports Editor: Colby White E-mail: sports@dailytexanonline.com And this time, if they somehow advance in the tournament and make it to the quarterfinals, they won't play against weak competi­ tion like Panama and Canada, who are ranked 52 and 56 respectively in FIFA's world rankings. Chances are it's going to be someone much better, stronger and faster. Oh, and Mexico is somewhere in there, too. in In Copa America, the Americans are the same group as Argentina, Colombia and Paraguay, and in order to advance, they will have to finish as one of the top eight teams in the tournament. Finishing third in their group might give the Americans a 50-50 chance of playing against Brazil in the quarterfinals, as they could play against either the win­ ner of Group A or Group B. The tough level of com­ petition is precisely what the Americans do need, though. With a new coach « that was supposed to cure r y j the Bruce Arena blues, this team needs m to evaluate / j themselves against competi- rfj tion. An early exit though would basically prove that the Gold Cup victory was a farce. It might be a great morale booster, and might even increase the popular­ ity of the sport in this country, but that's about it. Illustration by Joseph Devens Da ily Texan Staff Wimbledon begins in England Federer wears retro suit during warm ups, wins in three sets By H ow ard Fendrich The Associated Press WIMBLEDON, England — In his five-piece, tailor-made Gatsby getup, Roger Federer looked like a tennis player from a bygone era, one seen only in black-and-white photos. As Federer warmed up Monday for what would become his 29th consecutive victory at Wimbledon, he wore long trousers, replete with belt loops, and a sweater vest, all white with gold trim. An accom­ panying jacket, customized "RF" logo on the left breast pocket, was neatly draped over his change­ over chair, completing the throw­ back ensemble. His game, as usual, was as mod­ em and colorful as they come, filled with grace and power. It was all too much for Teimuraz is Gabashvili, a Russian who ranked 86th and lost his first career match at Wimbledon 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 on a wet and windy Day 1 at the grass-court Grand Slam, where winners included Andy Roddick, a slightly hobbled Serena Williams and Martina Hingis. For Federer, it was his first match since losing the French Open final to Rafael Nadal; the Swiss star skipped his usual tuneup tourna­ ment to rest a beat-up body. "I was, of course, a bit worried, maybe, before the first round," said Federer, trying to equal Bjom Borg's modem-era record of five straight Wimbledon titles. "Look, I've got so much confidence, so much experience on this surface, that I always expect myself to play good matches on grass. That's what happened today." If Federer's result was familiar, Centre Court certainly was not: Its partial roof is completely gone as part of the project to build a retractable one by 2009, tempo­ rarily making for a less-intimate atmosphere — and the open-air setting is more susceptible to rain­ drops and breezes. "It definitely does look and play a bit different this year," said Federer, whose match began two- and-a-half hours late because of rain. Plus, the hallowed arena now features two video screens for the debut of instant replay at the oldest Grand Slam tournament. Federer didn't challenge any calls. Gabashvili did, questioning whether Federer's forehand was in — and the replay showed it barely caught a line. The history books will reflect that the first use of the new tech­ nology at the All England Club came at Court 1, during the No. 3-seeded Roddick's 6-1,7-5,7-6 (3) victory over Justin Gimelstob. In the first set, Gimelstob chal­ lenged a fault call but the ruling was upheld. "So," Roddick pointed out, "he has the first miss with 'Hawk-Eye' in Wimbledon history, as well." Said Gimelstob, a 30-year-old American: "I'd like to have a few more important records, but I'll Sw itzerland's defending cham pion Roger Federer stretches to reach a shot from Russia's Teimuraz Gabashvili d u rin g their m atch in the first round of W im bledon. NMrbHihaus Associated Press SPORTS BRIEFLY Nebraska volleyball star awarded Honda-Broderick Cup Nebraska volleyball star Sarah Pavan was named the 2006-07 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year Monday. The junior hitter led Nebraska to a 33-1 season and a national title this season while maintaining a 4.0 grade- point average. Pavan was awarded the Honda- Broderick Cup Monday during a cer­ emony at Columbia University in New York by the Collegiate Women Sports Awards Program. Pavan is the first Big 12 athlete to ever win the award since the con­ ference began in 1996. Under the Southwestern Athletic Conference, Texas stars Kamie Ethridge and Jill Sterkel were the only athletes to be awarded the honor for the confer­ ence. Ethridge won it in 1986 for basketball while Sterkel claimed it for swimming in 1981. Pavan is the only Nebraska athlete to ever win the Cup. "Growing up, I watched Mia Hamm and Rebecca Lobo and to be grouped with them is amazing," Pavan said. "These are huge names in women's athletics, and I'm humbled to be in the same category." Pavan and her volleyball team recent­ ly met with the President after winning the national title back in the fall. — Colby White Bears tank'Tank'Johnson after speeding incident in Phoenix CHICAGO — Tank Johnson was released Monday by the Chicago Bears, who are "embarrassed" by the defensive tackle's legal troubles and say he "compromised the credibility" of the team. Johnson was waived three days after he was pulled over by police in Arizona. He already had been sus­ pended for the first eight games of the 2007 season for violating probation on a gun charge. He spent two months in jail and was released in May. "We are upset and embarrassed by Tank's actions last week," general manager Jerry Angelo said in a state­ ment. "We made it clear to him that he had no room for error. Our goal was to help someone through a dif­ ficult period in his life, but the effort needs to come from both sides. It didn't, and we have decided to move on." Police in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert said Johnson was stopped for driving 40 mph in a 25 mph zone at 3:30 a.m. Friday, and the officer made observations that led him to believe Johnson was impaired. Sgt. Andrew Duncan, a police spokesman, said Johnson was arrest­ ed for"DUI Impaired to the Slightest Degree" but was released without being booked or charged. Duncan said Johnson was taken to the Gilbert police station, where offi­ cials drew blood for a blood-alcohol content test. He described Johnson as "very cooperative." Test results aren't expected for up to two weeks, and they would be sent to Gilbert town prosecutors for con­ sideration of any charges. — Associated Press Colorado handed a two-year probation By Eliot Dem p sey Colorado Daily for BOULDER, Colo. — The University of Colorado was placed on two years probation and fined $100,000 by the NCAA inadvertently iast week undercharging 133 athletes for meals from totaling $61,700 2001-2005. The school also was ordered to cut one football schol­ arship for the next three seasons, reducing the total number to 24 per year. The infractions occurred when the University of Colorado inad­ vertently undercharged non­ scholarship ("walk-on") student athletes for training table meals in two ways. The first violations centered on walk-ons who ate at training table meals even though their practice schedules did not preclude them from dining in residence halls. The second involved walk-on student athletes who lived off campus and who purchased a training table meal plan at res­ idence hall rates directly from the athletics department, rather than a meal plan directly from CU's Housing and Dining Department. "Training table meals are approximately $14 to $15," Athletic Director Mike Bohn said. "Meals at the dining hall are about $7 or $8." The following announcement by CU-Boulder Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson was read by Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Phil DiStefano to the media: "The violations occurred over a period spanning the 2000- 01 academic year and extending to Sept. 16, 2005. They were dis­ covered by Barry on that day and were communicated to NCAA officials by the university shortly thereafter." Barry attributed the infrac­ tions to communication errors, mistakes in accounting, and the complexity of the financial aid program.
