The storm deposited a mere .02 inches of rain at the National Weather Service monitoring station at Robert Mueller Municipal Air­ port, but the winds shattered win­ dows at a nursing home and dam­ several portable buildings aged around U.S. 290 East. The storm also caused several mi­ nor accidents and blew down tree limbs and trees. Despite the damage, no major storm-related injuries were report­ ed, Austin police spokeswoman Kellye Norris said. The limbs of the oak tree, its trunk split by the force of the wind, narrowly missed a business fresh­ man's car, which was parked in C lot 75, between University Avenue and Wichita Street. "They called me and said a tree fell on my car, and I almost died right there," Alan Thomas said. Thomas said his car was not dam­ aged and "ju st got dirty." Summer school student Todd Winn was not so lucky. His blue Ford F-150 truck was struck by the top limbs of the tree. "It's got some good dents in it," Winn said. The tree trunk crushed the hood of another car and flattened the two front tires. Using chain saws, UT mainte­ nance workers cleared away the trunk and limbs of the fallen tree by early Tuesday night. Lt. Ronald Thomas of the UT po­ lice said the owners of the cars were notified by officers. At the Oakcrest Nursing Home, 9502 U.S. 290 East, a strong blast of wind blew in two plate glass win­ dows in an office, but no damage was reported in the rest of the home. About one-half mile east of the nursing home, several portable buildings owned by Longhorn Dis­ posal were scattered by the high winds, said Bruce Long, a company safety supervisor. oftez/Daily exan Staff An oak tree narrowly miaaed business freshman Alan Thomas’ car, which was parked in C lot 75, between University Avenue and Wichita Street. Texas Tech head named first Hispanic Cabinet member Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Reagan on Tuesday nominated Lauro Cavazos, a ranch foreman's son who rose to be presi­ dent of Texas Tech University, to be secre­ tary of education and the first Hispanic ever to serve in the Cabinet. Although the nomination came during a presidential campaign in which both candi­ dates are eagerly courting the Hispanic vote, Reagan said he chose Cavazos "be­ cause he seemed to be the best-fitted man' for the job. If confirmed by the Senate, Cavazos, 61, will succeed William Bennett, who an­ nounced in May that he is stepping down effective Sept. 2Í0. Vice President George Bush, who is cer- Leaders react to appointment, page 5. tain to receive the Republican nomination for president next week, has said that if elected he would name a Hispanic to the Cabinet. [Bush's] Asked whether he was "stealing some of his thunder," Reagan replied: "N o, I'm just still working at the job h ere." Alicia Sandoval, spokeswoman for the National Education Association, said the nomination was calculated to help Bush "W e are glad that the Reagan administra­ tion has finally appointed a Hispanic to the Cabinet, especially in the education field," Sandoval said. "However, we feel this par­ ticular announcement is politically motivat­ ed. Cavazos is like a substitute teacher. He won't have the clout to change anything in the little time he has." The NEA endorsed Democratic nominee Walter Móndale against Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. The organization has said it will announce its 1988 candidate en­ dorsement Sept. 8. In San Antonio, Jose de Lara, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, called the nomination "an out­ standing m ove." "I'm sorry that it took so long," de Lara said, but "it's a very smart, shrewd move by the administration." De Lara added that Cavazos' selection was intended to "m ask certain deficiencies in toward Hispanic Americans, but I think we have finally demonstrated to the administration the administration's policies that education is of crucial importance to Hispanics in this country." Members of the education community, canvassed by The Associated Press, said they knew nothing about Cavazos. A typical response came from Robert Atwell, president of the American Council on Education, an association of colleges and universities. "I don't know Mr. Cava­ zos personally or professionally, but if he is confirmed, we will be happy to work with him on behalf of higher education," Atwell said. Cavazos, who appeared with Reagan be­ fore reporters in the White House briefing room, said, "This administration has clear­ ly demonstrated that education is one of its highest priorities, and the initiatives that you have begun in this vital area will be of tremendous benefit to this nation and to this nation's future." Cavazos, who has been president of Tex­ as Tech in Lubbock since 1980, had an­ nounced in May that he planned to resign in July 1989. He said he planned to go on leave and then return to teach anatomy in the medical school, where he is a tenured professor. He is a native of Texas, where his father was a foreman on the Santa Gertrudis divi­ sion of the huge King Ranch. He and his wife, the former Peggy Murdock, have 10 children. Cavazos received the National Hispanic Leadership award of the League of United Latir> American Citizens in July for his ef­ forts to reduce the dropout rate among Hispanic youth. New U.N. corps to monitor truce Associated Press paym ents." UNITED NATIONS — The finan­ cially strapped United Nations cre­ ated a $74 million observer corps Tuesday to monitor a truce between Iran and Iraq, but the secretary-gen­ eral said, "I simply do not have the money" to pay for it.

Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar told an American reporter: "You should advise your govern­ ment to participate fully in these ef­ forts for peace." The United States, which sup­ ports U.N. peacemaking in the Per­ sian Gulf and Afghanistan, has fall­ en $467 million behind in its U.N. payments over several years. It is assessed more than $200 million an­ nually, one-quarter of the regular budget. U.S. Ambassador Vernon Walters said: "I think the United States will meet its obligations and make its At the White House, spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the adminis­ tration welcomed the cease-fire an­ nouncement and would bear "its fair share of the cost" of the observ­ including transportation er force, and equipment. "It that is our understanding there will be neither U.S. nor Soviet troops in the observer force," he added. "It has been a major aim of the United States to bring this war to an en d ." in Perez de Cuellar announced Monday that a cease-fire will begin the 8-year-old war, Aug. 20 which has killed or wounded more than 1 million people and cost hun­ dreds of billions of dollars. The Se­ curity Council created the observer group, which is part of the truce agreement. Twenty-five countries will pro­ vide the 350 unarmed observers, paying the members they assign. The $74 million, including $47 mil­ lion in start-up costs, will cover the initial six-month authorization. Goulding told The Associated Press some observers already were on their way to the Persian Gulf. Canadian Foreign Minister Joe Clark announced Tuesday in Ot­ tawa that Canada will contribute 385 military personnel to the peace­ keeping force, mostly communica­ tions specialists. They are expected region to start arriving Wednesday. the in A U.N. naval force, the first in its history, also may be created to pa­ trol the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway that forms the southern border between Iran and Iraq. Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci said the United States will withdraw most of its naval forces from the gulf only when it is convinced the cease-fire has taken effect. This will be the seventh U.N. peacekeeping or observer group created by the 159-member organi­ zation. The others operate in Af­ ghanistan, Cyprus, Lebanon, India, Pakistan, Syria and Jerusalem, the last two resulting from Arab-Israeli wars in 1973 and 1948, respectively. In Iraq, state television an­ nounced the cease-fire declaration after midnight, declaring victory in the war and three days of celebra­ tion.

Racing official search narrows to 3 names 8-member panel to interview finalists for job By JOHN COUNCIL Daily Texan Staff Texas Racing Commission Chair­ man Hilary Doran announced Tues­ day three finalists for the agency's top position. All the applicants are from out of state and two are currently em ­ ployed by state racing commissions. The leading candidates are G.A. Acevedo of New Mexico, Terence Dunleavy of Illinois and Anthony Fasulo of Florida. Acevedo is the president of custom Acevedo Enterprises, a homes business. Dunleavy is gener­ al counsel for the Illinois Racing Board, and Fasulo is the director of operations for the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering. " G .A . A c e v e d o , T e re n c e Dunleavy and Anthony Fasulo all bring many years of experience and administrative ability," Doran said. During a two-month period, the commission narrowed down to 20 inter­ people who were recently viewed by a search committee com­ posed of Doran and Commissioners James Clement, Hugh Fitzsimons and Demarious Frey. The new executive secretary will be announced Sept. 12, after the three candidates are interviewed by an eight-member panel consisting of all the commissioners, a Depart­ ment of Public Safety representative and state Comptroller Bob Bullock. Before the final interviews, each candidate will undergo the same ex­ tensive background check that all other Racing Commission employ­ ees must pass, Doran said. The job pays $60,000 a year and may not be held in conjunction with any other form of employment. Bullock said last week the com­ mission's slow executive processes cost the state about $22 million in tax revenue during the current two- year budget cycle. Student documents capital punishment % APRIL EUBANKS Daily Texan Staff "Is it justice or vengeance?" — a fundamental ques­ tion regarding capital punishment — is the topic of Eye for an Eye, an hourlong documentary by a UT student that debuts Wednesday night. The video is the master's thesis of Craig Duff, a ra- dio-television-film graduate student. Duff said the title represents "an inquiry into the line of scripture brought up and used as the predominant argument for capital punishm ent." "Is it really an eye for an eye — is it justice or ven­ geance?" he asked. Although both sides of the issue are represented, the video focuses on four families of Texas death row in­ mates and the efforts of people working toward the abolishment of capital punishment. " I was rhetorically saying, 'Forget all you know about capital punishment and focus on the inmates and their families as human beings' ," Duff said. "W e know and understand the grief of the families of murder victims — we understand the tragic loss," he said. But many people do not realize "the inmates' fami­ lies are experiencing similar grief," he said. "They're not executing animals — there is a group of people who love them, and if there isn't then it's even more of a sham e." Duff said he first began thinking about capital pun­ ishment after listening to a minister at the funeral of one of his friends who was raped, strangled to death and thrown into a river. The minister compared the murderer, who was nev­ er apprehended*, to a wild animal and said he should be put to death, Duff said. "I began to look into it, to see if it really is equitable — are they really no better than animals?" Duff joined the local Amnesty International chapter and learned about the capital punishment system in Texas, which has the second largest death row in the United States and the most executions since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. "I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't w ork," he said. "The present system is not fair." Duff said he does not expect the documentary to change people's position on the issue. "If people watch the documentary and still believe in capital punishment, fine, but I want people to think," he said. "I'm not a screaming, bleeding-heart liberal. I don't think it's a liberal issue, I think it's more of a human issue," Duff said. When Duff met Steve and Lisa Haberman in Novem­ ber, he decided their work made the perfect narrative structure for his project. The Habermans, founders of the Justice and Mercy Project, were high school teachers looking for a social cause. They decided on the death penalty, which they call a "disease," Duff said. The couple provides information to other organiza­ tions and visits inmates and their families, Duff said. They also work with the UT Capital Punishment Law Clinic, which provides legal counsel to inmates. Duff said the Habermans, who work for their cause full time, believe they cannot stop their work and go back to teaching, even though they only committed two y e a * to the project. .......................................................................................

Police Tuesday charged Johnny Hill of 1187 Harvey St., Apt. 106, with aggravated sexual assault — a first- degree felony — in connection with a June 5 rape in the Cherrywood area, said police spokeswoman Kel- lye Norris. Hill has been in city jail on $20,000 bond since po­ lice charged him July 30 with attempted aggravated sexual assault, a third-degree felony, Norris said. A Municipal Court spokeswoman said Tuesday's charge carried a bond of $50,000. Hill's police record began in 1977, when Galveston police charged him with two counts of burglary with intent to commit sexual assault, Norris said. After a 1978 conviction on both charges, Hill was sentenced to 10 years in the TDC and paroled to Galveston County in June 1981, Norris said. In January 1982, police arrested Hill on a burglary charge in Galveston, Norris said. He received his sec­ ond 10-year sentence to the TDC, from which he was paroled to Travis County in June 1985. Hill has lived in Austin since 1985, Norris said. "He is suspected of at least 20 rapes in the last three years," she said. Hill and his method fit the general description of the suspect and procedure in those rapes, Norris said. "He breaks into the house; the woman's alone; he confronts and [severely beats the] woman," she said. The'20 rapes have been spread throughout the Aus­ tin area, but accounts of the sexual assaults remain consistent, Norris said. The two 1988 charges against Hill followed detailed descriptions of the suspect and incident from each victim, she said. Norris said a police officer on patrol July 29 saw a man who matched a rape suspect's description west of Lamar Boulevard near 45th Street about 4 a.m. The officer stopped Hill, filled out an observation card and fingerprinted him. Fingerprint analysis produced a "textbook match" to prints taken from the Cherrywood site, Norris said. Police officers arrested Hill at his home July 29, she Austin police had not arrested Hill before July 29, said. Norris said.

Bill Clements appointed two temporary judges Friday to the Tex­ as Court of Criminal Appeals, the first time in 10 years such temporary appointments have been made. "It's pretty rare that any case comes before the court that any of the judges have been involved in," Jay Rosser, a spokesman for the governor's office, said Tuesday. Two current Court of Criminal Appeals judges recused themselves, meaning they decided not to partici­ pate, in two separate hearings be­ cause of previous involvement with those cases before joining the court, Rosser said. It’s pretty rare that any case comes before the court that any of the judg­ es have been involved in.’ — Jay Rosser, Clements’ spokesman Jon Sparling, a Dallas attorney, will take Judge Bill White's seat and John Clark, a San Antonio attorney, will take Judge Charles Campbell's seat during the court's review of two cases White and Campbell helped prosecute before joining the court, Rosser said. The court's presiding judge, John Onion, said he asked Clements to make the appointments because the court was deadlocked on the two cases with only eight participating judges. Onion said the appointments are rare because cases are usually set­ tled by a majority vote even when a judge recuses himself. Sparling, 47, is a former associate justice of the state's 5th Court of Appeals in Dallas. Clark, 55, is a UT School of Law graduate who has been a Bexar County justice of the peace and a former U.S. attorney for the West­ ern District of Texas.

Tuesday’s Dow Jones Industrial Average: DOWN 28.27 to 2,079.13 Volume: 200.71 million shares W orld & Nation Wednesday, August 10,1988 Page 3A Fed hikes interest rate in anti-inflation drive Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve Board, in a move to fight inflation, said Tuesday it was rais­ ing its key bank lending rate for the first time in nearly a year. Analysts said other interest rates likely would head higher as a result. With only three months left be­ fore the presidential election, the board members, all appointed by President Reagan, sent a dramatic signal that they were willing to push up interest rates to dampen inflationary pressures even at the risk of endangering Vice President George Bush's presidential aspira­ tions. The increase in the discount rate, from 6 percent to 6.5 percent, was adopted by a 6-0 vote and took ef­ fect immediately. It was the first change since Sept. 4 and put the rate at its highest in more than two years. An increase in the discount rate, which is the fee the Fed charges for short-term loans to member banks, is the central bank's most direct wav of pushing interest rates higher as a curb on economic growth. Economists said jumps in other including those on interest rates, mortgage rates and credit cards, are likely to follow. fairly soon," "This will hit consumer pocket- books said David Jones, an economist for Aubrey G. Lanston, a government securities dealer in New York. He said banks very likely will raise their prime rate, the interest they charge their most creditworthy commercial customers, this week or next. Since May, banks have raised their prime rate by a full point to 9.5 percent, the highest since March 1986. And because more people are borrowing through home equity loans and adjustable rate mort gages, which are tied to rate fluctua­ tions, consumers will feel the effects of the Fed's action much more rap­ idly than in previous years, he said Investors, particularly foreign investors, have been skeptical that the Federal Reserve would have the stomach to make such a move with I he D i s c o u n t k ; i t c ;in d I - K o m i R u te s , 19N7-NN Federal Reserve discount rate 1 -year Treasury bond rate (monthly average except latest) Aug. 5: 7.89% ______________________ 1988 .Sources - Fed.

At the White House, presidential spokesman Marlin Fit/water said the administration was disappoint­ ed with the increase, but he re­ frained from criticizing Federal Re­ serve Chairman Alan Greenspan. "W e 're alw ays disappointed when interest r a t e s go up, but we understand there is a reason for it," Fit/water told reporters. "W e think the Federal Reserve has done a good gib ... We think the Fed's on the right course." Bush, campaigning in Pittsburgh, echoed Fit/water's remarks. "I support what the Fed does and did. Sometimes there has to be some fine-tuning because you w’ant growth, but you don't want it with excessive therefore inflation, and the Federal Reserve Board some­ times has to tighten up and some­ t i m e s thev loosen up.' The board, in a statement, said its decision "reflects the intent of the Federal Reserve to reduce inflation­ ary pressures." Consumer prices, which rose 4.4 percent last year, are expected to in­ crease by more than 5 percent this year and perhaps more than 6 per­ cent next year, analysts are predict­ ing. By making it more expensive to borrow money, the Fed hopes to check inflation by slowing consum­ er demand. High employment is putting more dollars in the hands of consumers. At the same time, factories are op­ erating at their highest capacity l e v ­ els in eight years. They are straining to produce enough goods for both foreigners, domestic buyers and who have been buying more U.S. products in response to the devalu­ ation of the dollar through the end of last year. The danger of accelerating infla­ tion is present because too many dollars are chasing too few goods. David Wyss, an economist with Data Resources Inc., a Lexington, Mass., consulting firm, said the dis­ count rate hike likely will push the value of the dollar, which has been recovering since early this year, still higher. That eventually could choke off the improvement in the U.S. trade deficit by making American prod­ ucts more expensive overseas, he said. Prices on both the stock and bond the Fed's an­ fell after markets nouncement. Analysts had expected the Fed to tighten its reins on the money sup­ ply this week, but most were ex­ pecting the Fed to make the less dramatic move of pushing up the interest rate, federal banks charge each other for over­ night loans. funds the Since early March, it had pushed the federal funds rate up by more than a percentage point to 7.75 per­ cent while keeping the discount rate the same. Too great a spread between the rates tempts banks to try to misuse the "discount window" by borrow­ ing from the Fed and lending to other banks at a profit. Israelis bomb radio station Associated Press JERUSALEM — Soldiers fired on young Palestinians who hurled stones and bottles Tuesday, killing a teen­ ager, hospital officials said. Israeli aircraft bombed a radio station in Lebanon that the army said broadcast Palestine Liberation Organization propaganda. A second Palestinian died and two were seriously burned after arsonists set fire to a shack at a construc­ tion site in a Jewish suburb of Tel Aviv, police reported. Officials did not rule out the possibility the attack was linked to Arab-Israeli tensions. Up to 21 Arabs, including a 9-year-old boy, were re­ ported wounded by gunfire as the Palestinian rebellion in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip began its ninth month. An army reported 13 Palestinians wounded but Arab hospital officials put the number at 21. The army said a soldier was slightly injured when Palestinians stoned an army outpost near Jenin in the West Bank. spokesman At least 238 Palestinians have been killed in the up­ rising, which began Dec. 8, and four Israelis also have been slain. A military’ spokesman said the air force destroyed a PLO-run radio station and an ammunition storehouse in southern Lebanon in what was Israel's 12th air raid this year. The spokesman said the radio station, founded in early June, was used to broadcast instructions to Pales­ tinians in the occupied territories. "The base ... was a radio station used for propaganda and incitement broadcasts, and to pass orders for exe­ cuting terror attacks," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity in keeping with military regulations. In Lebanon, a police spokesman said three guerrillas were killed and 12 wounded in the raid. He said the base belonged to Fatah, Yasser Arafat's main wing of the PLO. Tuesday's violence in the occupied lands coincided with a sweeping strike observed by most of the 1.5 million Arabs in the territories and called for by under­ ground leaders to mark the ninth month of the Pales­ tinian "intefadeh," Arabic for "uprising." In the latest fatality, 14-year-old Hussein Swei was fatally shot in the head during a clash between troops and dozens of Arab youths hurling stones and bottles in the West Bank town of Qalqilya.

Burmese troops kill 36 during general protests Associated Press clear. BANGKOK, Thailand — Thou­ sands of Burmese demonstrated against President Sein Twin Tues­ day and troops opened fire, killing at least 36 people in Rangoon and 26 other cities, officials and diplomats reported. Some diplomats said hundreds may have been killed or wounded in Rangoon, where soldiers fired into crowds with shotguns and other weapons. A U.S. official in Washington quoted witnesses as saying protesters marched through the streets of Rangoon earn ing bod­ ies of dead comrades over their heads. Rangoon radio said five people were killed and 55 wounded in the capital, and the toll was 31 dead and 37 wounded at Sagaing in central Burma, where 5,000 people tried to overrun a police station. It said the casualty count was continuing. Military authorities imposed an 8 p.m .-4 a.m. curfew on Rangoon's 3.5 million people. Martial law was declared in the capital after a stu­ dent protest march Aug. 3. Unusually detailed reports by the state radio said security forces were forced to shoot on four occasions Tuesday and arrested 1,451 "looters and disturbance m akers." Whether that figure included more than 800 arrests announced earlier was not It named 26 towns and cities be­ sides Rangoon where protests oc­ curred, including Mandalay, which is Burma's second-largest city and is near Sagaing, a center of Buddhist learning and meditation. Taunggyi, Pegu, Prome, Tavoy, Mergui and Bassein were among the other cit­ ies. The U.S. official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymi­ ty, said reports from Rangoon put Tuesday's casualties in "the hun­ dreds," but added. "It takes days for such information to be sorted out, witnesses interviewed and ex­ act numbers arrived at." One diplomat in Rangoon cited "fairly credible" reports of more than 100 people killed in confronta­ tions between heavily armed sol­ diers and crowds of students, monks and other protesters. A statement issued by the U.S. State Deparment said: "W e deplore the shooting of unarmed demon­ strators and believe that non-lethal means should be employed to deal with such demonstrations." Several foreign missions, includ­ ing the U.S. Embassy, closed Tues­ in day and Burmese consulates some Asian cities stopped issuing tourist visas. Rangoon radio said all schools in Burma were closed Tuesday for an indefinite period. Universities have been shut since student riots in June. James Cole, a 27-year-old Austra­ lian architect who arrived in Bang­ kok from Rangoon, described the scene Tuesday as "a game of cat and m ouse" in which "the army was chasing." He reported seeing up to 600 sol­ diers, some with machine guns, at Shwedagon Pagoda, one of the main sites of recent anti-govern­ ment protests. Cole said parts of the city were cordoned off with barricades and roadblocks manned by soldiers. On a drive from Mandalay to Rangoon, the Australian said, he saw six ar­ mored cars and up to 20 truckloads of troops heading for the capital. Jim Hanson, a 25-year-old Ameri­ can, said most stores were closed and no buses ran. "There was a lot of public support for the demonstra­ tors," he said. Another tourist said people in some homes cooked food for the protesters. A Western diplomat in Bangkok said, speaking privately: "This is a tragedy. Our reports say the crowds have been very conciliatory [to­ wards security forces]. Things are going from bad to w orse." Travelers from Rangoon in recent days have quoted Burmese as say­ ing Sein Lwin was the most hated man in the country. Associated Press House approves bill for drought relief WASHINGTON — The House approved a $3.9 billion aid pack­ age for drought-stricken farmers Tuesday and sent the measure to President Reagan, who let it be known he intends to sign it. "W e have kept the faith," said House Agriculture Committee Chairman E. "Kika" de la Garza, D-Texas, as the House approved the bill, 383-18. "To all who will be helped by this legislation, our promise has been kept." The House devoted only brief debate to the measure, which em ­ erged from a House-Senate con­ ference committee last week and won Senate approval on Monday. Congress raced to put the legisla­ tion on Reagan's desk before it be­ gins a three-week break Friday. Soviets leave Kandahar ISLAM ABAD, Pakistan — Nearly 7,000 Soviet troops have abandoned Kandahar, which used to be Afghanistan's second- largest city, leaving the devastat­ ed provincial capital in the hands of Afghan forces, diplomats said Tuesday. Most of the 6,750 Red Army troops were evacuated from Kan­ dahar jpy air Thursday through Sunday, but a huge column of ar­ mor and heavy equipment contin­ ues to wind its way cautiously north through western Afghani­ stan, according to the reports. Western diplomatic sources in Islamabad, quoting witnesses, said the last soldier — an officer — drove his jeep up to a waiting Ily u sh in -76 tran sp ort p lane, walked up the ramp then tossed his keys back in the seat for the Afghans to drive away. K an d ah ar's p op u lation of 200,000 has dwindled to 20,000. Rights violations alleged LONDON — Amnesty Interna­ tional on Wednesday urged the Indian government to investigate what it called increasingly credi­ ble charges that Indian police have killed scores of Sikh activists in staged encounters. In a review of human rights vio­ lations in India in the past 18 m o n th s, the L on d on -b ased human rights organization also complained that an investigation into an alleged police massacre of 80 Moslem villagers has been kept secret. India — Amnesty also said in the 26- page report on the world's largest democracy — that it has received reports of dozens of prisoners dying in police custo­ dy across the country after being tortured. House OKs U.S.-Canada trade agreement Associated Press W A SH IN G TO N — The H ouse voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to sweep away most tariffs and a wide array of other barriers to the annual $166 billion trade in goods and services between the United States and Canada. "W e have a bill here, in short, in which every­ one gains and no one loses," Rep. William Fren- zel, R-Minn., said as the House approved 366-40 and sent to the Senate the free-trade agreement signed by President Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney last January. The measure would authorize the president to phase out most tariffs between the two countries over the next 10 years, and approves elimination of a wide range of other trade barriers under the pact. Many lawmakers said such a free-trade zone is needed as a counterbalance to European Com­ mon Market protectionism. "M any of the Europeans are talking about free trade as being something for Europeans within that bloc — I hope they don't go that w ay," said Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, his party's vice presidential candidate, as his Senate Finance Committee approved the measure earlier Tues­ day. The Senate is expected to act soon, possibly later this week, on the measure. Counterpart legislation is stalled in Canada's appointive Senate, where it is encountering Lib­ eral Party opposition. The agreement does not set up a common market between the United States and Canada. That would mean adopting common tariffs on imports from third countries. The free-trade zone would merely eliminate tariffs and some other barriers between the Unit­ ed States and Canada. The two countries would still have differing tariffs on imports from third countries. The United States and Israel already have es­ tablished a free-trade zone. Advocates of the agreement claim it will spur U.S. exports and create jobs while lowering con­ sumer prices. Critics say agriculture and other industries could be hurt by lowering tariffs. Sudanese leader seeks aid for flood-ravaged nation Associated Press CAIRO, Egypt — A Moslem lead­ er appealed to wealthy Arab states Tuesday for emergency help for mil­ lions of victims of Sudan's worst floods in 42 years. Egyp t's television state-ru n showed helicopter views of the cap­ ital city of Khartoum, Kassala and other badly hit areas in neighboring Sudan, with villages turned into is­ lands and people slogging through knee-deep water. The floods, brought on by torren­ tial rains last week, left millions of people stranded in eastern Sudan, cut off from relief supplies by the rising waters, authorities said. At least 11 Sudanese have died and more than 1 million were left homeless by floods, Finance Minis­ ter Omar Nour el-Dayem said in re­ ports carried by Egypt's state- owned Middle East News Agency in Cairo. He said 5,000 houses were de­ stroyed in Khartoum alone. The news agency said at least 40,000 houses in all were destroyed. The government declared the cit­ ies of Khartoum, Kassala, Showak and el-Damer disaster areas and on Monday night announced a nation­ wide six-month state of emergency. The news agency reported an ap­ peal by Sheik Gad el-Haq Aly Gad el-Haq, leader mi Al-Azhar religious institution, for help from the Islamic world, "especially from the wealthy M o slem s." Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are among Sudan's main economic backers, having provided it with oil and loans. Electricity and water remained cut off from Khartoum for the third straight day, Cairo's leading news­ paper, Al-Ahram, said Tuesday. Al-Ahram and another state-run daily, Al-Gomhouria said some of Khartoum's 4 million inhabitants faced starvation after the power fail­ ure disrupted bakeries and food supplies began dwindling. International help began pouring in after Sudan appealed for help Sunday. * Egypt sent 10 C-130 military tents, transport planes carrying medical supplies and food. A Foreign Office spokesman in London said Bntain flew in blan­ kets, tents and medicine Sunday night and probably will send in more aid this week. The French medical humanitarian group Medicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) said Tuesday it would send emergency aid teams at Sudan's request and also planned to send 35 tons of medical supplies, drinking water, four-wheel drive vehicles and tents. In Cairo, telephone and telex op­ erators said all lines to Khartoum had been down fo# two days. Page 4A/THE DAILY TEXAN/Wednesday, August 10,1988 E d ito rials Viewpoint opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor and the writer of the article They are not necessarily the opinions of the University ad­ ministration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Stu­ dent Publications Board of Operating Trustees Opin­ ions expressed in Second Opinion and staff or guest columns are those of the writer Fee E n terprise Proposed application fee could hurt recruitment U T President William Cunningham likes to say that the University community will have to come to terms with a "user-fee-oriented world." Cunningham's point is straightforward: With the University as strapped for cash as it is, students in­ creasingly will have to pay for services they used to receive routinely for free. But while every fee has its benefits, it also has its potential drawbacks. The latest user fee proposed by UT officials is a $25 , application fee for high school seniors seeking admis­ sion here. The UT System Board of Regents is expect­ ed to approve the fee automatically when it meets Thursday. There are strong arguments for imposing the fee. Ronald Brown, UT vice president for student affairs, has said the fee will eliminate "casual applicants" — people who presumably apply to the University but have no real plans to go here. But it also may eliminate applicants for whom $25 is a large amount of money. A poor student who might otherwise enrich the diversity of the UT com­ munity may choose to go instead to one of the state colleges or universities that don't require an applica­ tion fee. UT officials have suggested that the fee require­ ment may include a provision for fee waivers for low- income and minority students. This suggestion sounds good, provided that the University can accu­ rately determine who needs the waiver and who does not. But administrators should note that many students will be discouraged from applying simply because the only way they can apply is by seeking waiver of the application fee. Cunningham has said the new fee will allow him to spend more money from the Available University Fund on the University's ongoing effort to recruit minority students. He has not stated, however, the amount of money that will be freed for this purpose. Until he does, it is reasonable to question whether imposing the new fee will ultimately undercut rather promote minority recruitment, since minority appli­ cants are more likely to come from economically disadvantaged families for whom the application fee — or the prospect of seeking a fee waiver — could be daunting. To avoid this problem, Cunningham must make an express commitment to see that a significant amount of the money saved by imposing the fee is dedicated to minority-recruitment programs. And he should make every effort to ensure that the fee itself will not discourage qualified, sincere low-income students from applying. After all, the Legislature established the University of Texas in order to provide educational opportuni­ ties for citizens of the state. And it is the minority and low-income students who need these opportuni­ ties the most. — Mike Godwin Pea ce P rice United States should pay its United Nations debt By arranging for a Soviet pullout of troops from Afghanistan and by brokering a cease-fire in the Iran-Iraq war, the United Nations has helped promote peace in two war-torn regions this year, drawing praise from both President Reagan and the U.S. Senate. But to transform the tentative accords into lasting peace, the United Nations doesn't need U.S. praise; it needs U.S. money. Our government should start addressing that need by paying the $466.9 million tab it owes the United Nations — a tab that has been growing since 1985, when the Senate deemed the United Nations a wasteful organization that doesn't serve U.S. inter­ ests. But as its successes this year have shown, the Unit­ ed Nations has begun to promote U.S. interests in important ways — if, in fact, our government is inter­ ested in peace. U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar says that without the U.S. money, the United Na­ tions will run out of money by November. Since U.N. forces will play a vital peace keeping role in both Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf, this shortfall could prove disastrous. In fact, peacekeeping has become the single most expensive aspect of the United Nations's operational costs. The secretary general told the American Bar Association Monday that the cost of peacekeeping missions will rise from about a quarter of the United Nations' present budget to more than two times the entire regular budget. And, he adds, if the United Nations successfully engenders peace in Cambodia, Namibia and the Western Sahara, the organization's peacekeeping op­ erations will cost even more. Clearly, the United Nations, and not the super­ powers, should be responsible for peacekeeping du­ ties. The sight of superpowers' armed forces tends to incite anger among Third World countries, while multinational U.N. forces are at least potentially less provocative. All of this points to the need for the United States to more tangibly support the United Nations. If, as Reagan's chief U.N. delegate Vernon Walters says, the U.S. government is "for peace," it should pay its full bill — and consider investing still more money into the United Nations's peacemaking abili- ites. After all, the financial price of peace doesn't ap­ proach the human costs of bloody war. — Tom Philpott Seoul trip costs money In The Daily Texan there was an article ("Tough enough for table tennis: Para­ plegic player Wear sharpens skills for Par­ alympic Gam es," The Daily Texan, Aug. 1) about wheelchair athlete David Wear. Mike Fannin reported that Wear needed $2,000 to pay for his trip to Seoul, Korea, to participate in the 1988 Paralympics games. Unfortunately, Fannin failed to let any­ one know how to donate to Wear's cause. Donations may be mailed to his home ad­ dress at 12518 Lymerick Avenue, Austin, Texas 78727. Donations can also be mailed to Miller Heights Baptist Church, 1400 S. Wall, Bel­ ton, Texas 76513 (Attn: David Wear). Wear has worked hard to achieve his goal of going to Seoul and deserves it as much as any able-bodied athlete. When I asked him how bad he wants to go, he told me "just as bad as Carl Lewis." I believe him. joey Nelms Advertising Books before footballs The denial of eligibility by the NCAA of Graylon Johnson, UT recruit, has been blown way out of proportion. The con­ sensus of the response seems to be that Johnson is some type of martyr while the NCAA is the evil villain ("NCAA denies eligibity for Texas recruit: Johnson's high school coach 'disgusted,' " The Daily Tex­ an, Friday). I think further illumination of the situa­ tion will show that the only real harm is to the academic mission of the University. Johnson, on the other hand, stands to receive a great deal. When fall rolls around he will be enrolled in the same University as you and I. While you and I have to pay for our education and meet specific admis­ sion requirements, he does not. This will be granted to him despite SAT scores so low he would have been denied admission were 1m not in the special class of "student athlete." It could be a lot worse for Johnson. All schools could have policies whereby ath­ letes must be a student first and granted Emission based on their merits as one. What a concept — admission standards the same for everyone, scholarships based on one's ability as a scholar. Kreg Abehire English Radio sparks controversy The University of Texas and the Board of Regents have filed a competing applica­ tion for 91.7 FM against the Texas Educa­ tional Broadcasting Co-operative Incorpo­ rated. The Texas Educational <*Co-op group's call letters would be KOOP. The Co-op group has had an application in with the FCC for two years now and the University filed its application one work­ ing day before the cut-off for challenging applcations. KOOP is a minority-owned corporation which plans to have full com­ munity participation in its programming. This included the students from the Uni­ versity, Austin Community College and Huston-Tillotson College. Now, after consciously excluding stu­ dents from KUT by making it a National Public Radio affiliate, the University wants to grab Austin's last avaiblable FM fre­ quency. In reality, being "O n The Air" does absolutely nothing to enhance the quality of an RTF education. The FCC's historic pattern with non­ commercial stations has generally been to wait for either the groups to share the channel, or for one of the groups to with­ draw. All this has ensured is that KTSB's student supporters will have to have years of fund-raisers to enable them to pour money into their lawyers' pockets to sus­ tain a long battle of attrition. These poor students will probably graduate before ever hearing KTSS on die air. Were there any alternatives? Yes! Put 10 percent down on a loan to buy one of the numerous Austin stations that are looking for buyers. The students could have been on the air in a few months with what they will now have to spend on lawyer's fees alone. I hope the students wake up and realize the bandwagon is headed down a dirt road towards an uncertain end. Bob Nagy UT staff Faith in face of adversity Although 1 am an RTF major and avid film fan, I do not believe everything I see on the screen. Stephen Jensen ("Flaw lies with film, not with its critics," Firing Line, Wednesday) suggests that there should be resistance to the showing of The Last Temp­ tation o f Christ. My advice to him is, if he does not like it, he should not go and see it. But he should not try to deprive other people of the right to view it. If they emerge from the theater thinking that Christ was a sinner and that the Bible is merely a collection of fibs, fables and fallacies then (excuse the pun) to hell with them. How does it affect what Jensen be­ lieves? Is it hard for him to maintain his faith in the face of adversity or criticism? I hate to teU him this, but it really should not matter to him what anyone else thinks about his religion. He can believe what­ ever he wants to believe. I believe that people have the right to express them­ selves, and that this film should be re­ leased. Julian Evans RTF SDI driven by political games R onald Reagan, hoping to augment George Bush's attack on Democratic defense policy, offered a preview of this fall's political bat- tle. R a lph T o m lin so n TEXAN COLUMNIST The president objected to reduced funding for his beloved Strategic Defense Initiative in the defense budget proffered by the Democrat-controlled Con­ gress. But in choosing to enter the ring endorsing SDI, the president is boxing with one leg tied behind his back. Congressional rejection of SDI and being soft on defense are not correlated. SDI is a political strategy and an imperfect defense. SDI would only provide a defense against inter­ continental ballistic missiles, the oldest type of mis­ sile in the U.S. and Soviet arsenals. It will provide no protection against cruise missiles, bombers or a nu­ clear weapon smuggled into the country by a mad terrorist. The computer program necessary to activate the system of space-based lasers and other defensive paraphernalia could never be tested until we needed it — a bit late if it happened to fail. The president himself may have never believed in SDI. Col. Allan Myer, who helped write the presi­ dential speech that introduced star wars to the na­ tion, said the lofty ideas of a Strategic Defense Initia­ tive were added to sway public opinion toward increases in defense spending. The research neces­ sary for SDI was already under way, and gathering the various projects under one label only guaranteed needed funding. The proposal for SDI was largely intact before Pres­ ident Reagan announced it to the public. A conserva­ tive think-tank developed the SDI program as a means of returning to a ballistic missile defense sys­ tem, which was outlawed by the Anti-Ballistic Mis­ sile Treaty in 1972. Throughout the 1980s, many advocates of nuclear weapons grew increasingly alarmed at the growing international arms control movement. The move- ment caused those dedicated to destroying the world to seek a political strategy to secure the employment of nuclear weapons-builders. The think tank's SDI proposal pointed out that "very little attention has ever been put into tech­ niques for converting, or otherwise neutralizing, peace groups or arms controllers to a pro-BMD [bal­ listic missile defense] stance." Thus, out of fear of peace, SDI was bom. Politically, one must respect the effect of SDI on confusing, if not "neutralizing," the arms control ad­ vocates who filled the streets of Europe and America in the early half of this decade. But some of SDl's strongest proponents appear even more confused about our best defense against nuclear weapons. Gen. Daniel Graham, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agencv and a leading advocate of the SDI program, often assures reporters that if he had one hour's warning of a Soviet missile thundering toward his office, he would merely walk 4.2 miles away and hide behind a lilac bush. Since the main danger of a nuclear explosion, according to Graham, is the blinding light of the blast, he would emerge safe and sound. Perhaps Graham has discovered a cheaper defense than SDI. Instead of investing a trillion dollars in SDI, we could spend a trillion dollars on lilac bushes. Then, as we all lay dying from the radiation, the fallout, and the nuclear winter sure to follow any nuclear exchange, we could console ourselves by knowing even if we didn't make the world safe, at least we spruced up the place. Tomlinson is a government senior. U.S. military financial aid helps students get degree has Y A T hile demand for financial aid recent skyrocketed V w years, the available supply has not increased, which has forced students to make unpleasant cuts in their educa- tions. in Nobody wants to leave the University without a degree, especially in Austin's depressed job market. However, students whose financial aid has shrunk or evapo­ rated are faced with several important de­ cisions about the formidable cost of a col­ lege degree. Students can attempt to compensate for their lost financial aid by working part time. Or they can drop out and work at a job that pays less than a college-graduate- level position, or perhaps apply for a po­ tentially monstrous student loan. Unfortunately, the amount of time re­ quired earning money to support oneself while attending the University cuts into studying, which leads to lower grades and limited job prospects. The snowballing effect of accruing inter­ limiting the est will burden students, types of jobs that they can accept after graduation. Withdrawing for several years and en­ tering the depressed job market forces stu­ dents into the dead-end jobs that trade and technical schools warn about. Also, students who are not supported by their parents must use their earnings for the essentials of life. When compared with these choices for obtaining money for college, the option of national service — i.e., joining the armed forces — seems more and more attractive. In an effort to recruit and retain quality personnel, the Department of Defense sweetened its benefits program for people who enlist in the armed forces. While the initial pay (not including free room and board, etc.) is about $20 per day, the deferred rewards provide a large pool of ready cash for the soldier-tumed-stu- dent. The G.I. Bill and Army College Fund can provide enlistees witjt, depending on enlistment length, as much as $25,200 to continue their education after their enlist­ ment expires. T r e v o r F ea g in TEXAN COLUMNIST to widthdraw from the University and en­ list, the armed forces will retire up to one- third or $1,500 per year of the recruit's out­ standing Guarenteed Student Loan. For students who do not want a four- year deferment from their education, there are a variety of Army Reserve and Nation­ al Guard programs. In return for half a year's training and about 40 training days each year, these programs help students get through college. For example, the National Guard pro­ vides a program where non-residents who enlist pay in-state tuition. And reservists may qualify for up to $140 in tuition assist­ ance for each of 36 months. Also, the Army Reserve allows up to 15 percent or $500, whichever is larger, in student-loan debt retirement assistance every year during the standard six-year enlistment. Working as a clerk in a mega-mall or in some other dreary position lacks usable job skills for a college level employment. National service, in contrast, equips stu­ dents with skills they can use in the fu­ ture, including the discipline and leader­ ship skills that are necessary for most post-graduate jobs. Contrary to popular myth, enlisted per- sonel are not used to pick up cigarette butts, nor are all of them put in the infan­ try. Depending on an enlistees Armed Ser­ vices Vocational Aptitude Battery scores and personal goals, a variety of the 60 or more career opportunities are available. The United States armed forces have, and probably will always have, the best financial aid program of any entry-level job. National service is the best choice for students who cannot, at this time, afford to spend the time for a college degree. Also, if financial duress causes a student Feagin is a history sophomore. Campus-area bank robbed By JIM GREER Daily Texan Staff A woman walked into a UT-area bank after noon Tuesday and made a withdrawal — but the money did not belong to her.

Insurance sale will not affect UT T h e D a ily TEXAN/Wednesday, August 10.1986/Page 5A By GREG PERUSKI Daily Texan Staff A proposed change in ownership of the University's insurance carrier will not affect the UT health insur­ ance package set to begin Sept. 1, a UT official said Tuesday. Claude Hempel, UT System per­ sonnel director, said contractual ob­ ligations will firmly maintain Amer­ ican General Insurance Companies' benefit plan for UT faculty and staff, which was approved last June by the UT System Board of Regents. "There will be no impact on em­ ployees of the UT System," Hempel said. "They will continue to receive the same benefits irregardless of ownership." General Companies, which current­ ly owns the group insurance com­ pany, announced Aug. 5 a plan to sell the Dallas-based American Gen­ eral Insurance Companies. Barsa Harvlerode, a spokeswom­ an for American General Compa­ nies, also said a change in owner­ ship will not affect UT health benefits. "All we will do is change owners who are the parent companies," Harvlerode said. "American Gener­ al Insurance Companies will still be in business." The offer to sell the group insur­ ance company, along with a Balti­ more liability insurance firm, is part of a long-range business plan, she said. also wants to divest from insurance companies using independent agents, Harvlerode said. Hempel said UT System employ­ ees will not lose benefits if the group insurance company should become insolvent because the state will fulfill any health insurance obli­ gations. The UT System is not committed to a long-term contract with Ameri­ can General Insurance Companies, he said. "The contract is on a yearly basis, from Sept. 1 to Aug. 3 1 .," Hempel said. "W e could pull out if unsatis­ fied." William Wallace, UT director of personnel services, said he plans to conduct business as usual.

B e­ Appointee praised as ‘top hand9 Associated Press WASHINGTON — Hispanic lead­ ers Tuesday praised Texas Tech University President Lauro Cavazos as a skilled and distingushed educa­ tor, but they accused President Reagan of playing ethnic politics with the appointment. U.S. Rep. Albert Bustamante, D- San Antonio, said Reagan was pull­ ing strings to help pump up the campaign of Republican presiden­ tial nominee-to-be George Bush, who trails Democrat Michael Du­ kakis in the polls. Cavazos would become the first Hispanic in the Cabinet, at a time when both parties are heavily court­ ing Hispanic voters and Texas is shaping up as a prime battleground in the November presidential elec­ tion. "These are desperate moves but I feel good for Dr. Cavazos because he's a good person," said Bus­ tamante, chairman of the Congres­ sional Hispanic Caucus. 'They're pulling every string within their reach to try to narrow the num­ bers." Bustamante said Reagan "select­ ed a person that is very well-re­ spected, well-prepared, with a his­ tory in education that is second to none." "From a pandering point of view, I think that everyone understands that it is a very political appoint­ ment. Next thing, we'll be seeing a woman or black for chief of protocol at the White H ouse." Alicia Sandoval, spokeswoman for the National Education Associa­ tion, called the nomination "just a ploy to help get Bush elected and carry Texas, a classic case of token­ ism ." Rep. Solomon Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, said that if Reagan had been sincere about having a Hispanic in his Cabinet, he would have ap­ pointed one at the beginning of his administration. "You don't just do it right before an election. The big question is why — why right before an election, why right before a convention," said Ortiz. The Republican National Convention begins in New Orleans next week. "It was just a little too late," said Ortiz, who hopes Cavazos will not be thrown "into the frying pan" in the debate over making English the country's official language. Reagan said he selected Cavazos, 61, because he was "th e best-fitted man to succeed" departing Secre­ tary William Bennett. Kenneth Ashworth, state higher education commissioner, called Ca­ vazos an outstanding educator. Rep. Larry Combest, a Lubbock Republican, said everything Reagan does through the end of the year will be seen as political. "You can't shut down the govern­ ment and overlook qualified people just because there's an election com­ ing u p ," said Combest, whose dis­ trict includes Texas Tech. Combest and Republican Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas said they praised Cavazos when contacted by the White House about the appoint­ ment. "A s we say in Texas, he's a top hand," Gramm said. ^____________c o u p o n ________ ROFFLER SCH O O L OF HAIR DESIGN ! SHAMPOO a CUT s $ BLOW DRY *up*rv1wKJ I 5 3 3 ?

Anti-abortionists disavow Sharp By DEBBIE SIMON Daily Texan Staff The director of the Texas Coali­ tion for Life, an anti-abortion group, said Tuesday the organization is severing ties with Texas Railroad Commissioner John Sharp, state chairman of the Dukakis campaign. Sharp, who co-sponsored a 1985 Texas bill limiting abortions, had received the support of the TCL during his race for the Railroad Commission. "I don't think we would be true to our constituents if we did not point out the inconsistencies of someone who professed to be a pro­ lifer and has worked night and day to elect the avowed enemy of the pro-life m ovem ent/' said Bill Price, TCL director. "We are not severing relations over the issue that he supports Du­ kakis — the issue is his leadership in that campaign," he said. Price said Sharp had told him that although he disagrees with the Democratic presidential nominee on the abortion issue, overall he be­ lieves Dukakis is "an excellent can­ didate." "Suppose Mr. Sharp were to ap­ pear before the NAACP and tell them that his candidate was a segre­ gationist, but that overall he thought he was an excellent person — how do you think they would re­ spond?" Price said. But Sharp said he is "still a pro­ lifer and always will be." "They [the TCL] are exaggerating Dukakis' record an awful lot," Sharp said. "That's a one-issue group and that's okay, but there are a whole lot more issues to consider. "These folks have allowed them­ selves to become a wing of the Re­ publican Party. Price said Dukakis has a "rabid, militant" stand on abortion and that he did not know of another politi­ cian who is more pro-abortion. "You can't describe him as pro- choice," Price said. "This man has decided to become head general in the army [for abortion]." He said Dukakis had vetoed bills four times that would have prohibit­ ed tax dollars from being used for abortions. Margaret Hotze, political director of Life Advocates, said her organi­ zation, which also supported Sharp for railroad commissioner, feels "as if we have been used." "No truly pro-life person could in conscience support the most anti­ life, anti-family candidate who has ever run for president of the United States," she said. Price said the disassociation with Sharp does not constitute a Bush endorsement, but the likely GOP the publicly nominee "is not avowed enemy of the unborn chil­ dren of this country, as Dukakis has been for the past 25 years." Clements to fill court vacancy By MIKE ERICKSON Daily Texan Staff A high-ranking aide to Gov. Bill Clem ents said Tues­ day the governor will appoint a replacem ent for retiring state Suprem e Court Justice James Wallace in the next month. James Huffines, Clem ents' appointm ent secretary, called the GOP governor's third opportunity in the last 12 m onths to replace a Suprem e Court justice "unprec­ edented in m odem history," and said the appoint­ ments were needed to im prove the court's image. "There's no doubt the actions of the Suprem e Court have done more to dam age the image of Texas than anything else in the last 25 years," Huffines said. Two Democratic justices besides Wallace — John Hill and Robert Campbell — retired from the court this year. Wallace, who announced his plans to retire in June, submitted his resignation to the governor Monday. His retirement is effective Sept. 1. Huffines said Wallace and the Democratic Party were "playing a few gam es" with the governor's office by submitting the letter at the "twelfth h o u r,” but said the delay will not affect Clem ents' ability to choose a re­ placement. "W e're just happy to have the resignation,” Huffines said. Under Texas law, Wallace had until Sept. 6 to formal­ ly announce his retirem ent, and to let both political parties nom inate candidates for the position in the No­ vember general election. If Wallace had waited until after the deadline, Clem ents' appointed justice would have been able to stay on the court until the Novem ber 1990 election. Huffines said one option open to Clem ents is not accepting the retirem ent notice until after Sept. 6. Wallace said he does not know w hether Clem ents has to accept his notice. "I'm retiring, not resigning," Wallace said. But Huffines said, "O ur lawyers feel there is no dif­ ference betw een retirem ent and resignation." In his letter to Clements, Wallace said financial con­ siderations led to his decision. "I can no longer justify to my family my continued service to the state in view of the currently prevailing economic circum stances," the letter said. Texas Suprem e Court justices earn about $79,000 a year. Wallace also criticized funding levels for the judicial branch of Texas governm ent and asked Clem ents to address the problem. "W ith less than one-third of 1 percent of the state budget, the judicial branch simply cannot attract and retain the personnel and acquire the technology neces­ sary to provide the excellent judicial system which Tex­ ans expect and deserv e. "My fervent plea is that you will give this deficiency top priority in your agenda for the next legislative ses­ sion," the letter said. 12 29 H A I R D ES IG N 95 CUTS Kh, t : i ■ m , M. :>h) is n : " h » n / m v / ' /* i ; / 9 5 PERMS M >;'!:!

Wyatt Cafeterias 174 Hancock Shopping Carter a Behind HEB Frank Ordortez/Daily Texan Staff Texas Supreme Court Justice Barbara Culver swears in Public Utility Commission member WiHiam Cassin. New PUC member sparks controversy By JOHN COUNCIL Daily Texan Staff After being sw orn in as the Public Utility Com m ission's new est m em ­ ber T u esd ay , W illiam C assin stepped into a world of angry ra­ tepayers w ho have seen their elec­ tric bills jum p because of cost over­ runs at the South Texas Nuclear Project. to Gov. Bill Clem ents' appointm ent of Cassin the PUC July 21 sparked controversy because Cassin was formerly an attorney with Baker and Botts, a H ouston law firm that routinely represents Houston Lighting & Power. But Cassin said his former job will not influence decisions he makes on utility rates because he "sym pathiz­ es very m uch" with ratepayers. "I pay a very sizable electric bill myself. I'm a custom er of Houston Lighting & Power Co., which has constructed the South Texas Nucle­ ar Project," Cassin said. Cassin pointed out that he has not worked for HL&P for more than 20 years and that since then, he has been at odds with the power com­ pany as general attorney for a major gas company. He said that as an attorney for the gas com pany he fought HL&P "tooth and toenail" over their inter­ vention in rate cases. "I am not going to say that I'm no friend of those folks [HL&P], but I am certainly not in the kind of posi­ tion that I have seen some hints at in the press, of being favorable to them ," Cassin said. The PUC is bound by legislative m andates on policy and conduct, and Cassin said he will abide by those policies. Earlier Tuesday, representatives of Public Citizen, a Texas consum er group, said Cassin will not have a chance to play favorites with HL&P because he will be under close pub­ lic scrutiny. "People are going to be watching him ," said Tom Smith, director of Public Citizen. "It's not going to be easy for him to sort of succumb to the tendency to be nice to his bud­ dies at the old law firm." like "Given the am ount of publicity that has evolved around the fact that he used to work for that law firm, 1 think that he is going to be very shy of making decisions that look they favor Baker and Botts," Smith said. He called on the governor to confer with utility commissioners to cancel the construction of STNP's second unit, an action Smith said would save ratepayers millions. The Committee for C onsum er Rate Relief filed a motion w ith the PUC Tuesday m orning to restart an economic inquiry into the STNP's second reactor, which is reported to be 96 percent complete. HL&P ratepayers could see a 38 percent increase in their electric bills if the second unit is completed, said Bryan Baker, CCRR staff director.

The suit against O range C ounty A ttorney Steve H ow ard contends that Howard filed the removal-by- last m onth suspension petition "wholly outside the scope of [How­ ard's] authority" and for the pur­ pose of "oppressing, vexing and harassing" Wade. Howard, w ho intends to defend himself in the case, said the allega­ tions in W ade's suit are false. The petition filed by H ow ard on July 11 asked for W ade's suspension and the appointm ent of a tem porary sheriff until drug charges against Wade are settled. It was granted by Jefferson County District Judge Thom as Thomas. H ow ard's petition came the same m orning Wade rescinded his May 3 leave of absence from the sheriff's ade had been free on bond untH June 1 when U.S. Magistrate Earl Hines of Beaumont re­ voked Wade’s bond and ordered the sheriff re­ turned to jail for bond violations. post and announced his intentions of resum ing control of the county Sheriff's Departm ent from his jail cell. In the lawsuit filed Friday, Wade asks for more than $10 million in dam ages and attorney and court fees. The 42-year-old suspended sheriff said in his lawsuit that he should not be rem oved from office because he is "duly qualified and elected" as sheriff of Orange County and "has a full and complete license to disburse funds u nder his control and au tho r­ ity." Wade also denied all "misap­ propriation" of county funds or any "official misconduct" claimed in Howard's petition. Howard's petition cites the 10 drug charges against Wade that were issued by a federal grand jury May 2 as reasons for the suspen­ sion. The charges include conspira­ cy to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine, conspiracy to obstruct justice and embezzlement of Orange County narcotics funds. Henry Nyle Baker, 58, of Vidor, was indicted along with Wade. Baker faces one count of conspiracy to manufacture and distribute a con­ trolled substance. Wade had been free on bond until June 1 when U.S. Magistrate Earl Hines of Beaumont revoked Wade's bond and ordered the sheriff re­ turned to jail for bond violations. The ruling was appealed, but U.S. District Judge Howell Cobb de­ nied the request last week and or­ dered Wade to be held in jail until trial. El Paso group seeks Villa’s head History buffs suspect club at Bush’s alma mater Associated Press EL PASO — A group of El Paso history buffs wants the head of Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa — and they believe the skull is possessed by a secret society at Yale that Vice President George Bush be­ longed to. An attorney for the secret Skull and Bones society says the club doesn't have Villa's skull. The club has been satirized recently in Doonesbury, and a skull sit­ ting on a table figured prominently in the cartoons. Villa, leader of the last military invasion of the U.S. mainland, was assassinated in the northern Mexican village of Parral in 1923. In 1926, grave robbers stole his head — and the skull's whereabouts have been a mystery since. The El Paso group's search for the skull has led to talks with Villa's widow and with the Mexican gov­ ernment, as well as a letter to Bush. The quest began about 18 months ago, during the weekly conversations among a group of about a doz­ en El Paso men who meet for lunch each Wednesday to indulge in their interests in history and archaeolo­ gy- Group members read the memoirs of Arizona na­ tive Ben Williams, w ho said a Skull and Bones mem­ ber told him the society had the skull, said Alex Apos- tolides, curator of El Paso's Wilderness Museum and a member of the group. . . . Williams, in his memoir, Let the Tail Go with the Hide, wrote that El Paso adventurer Emil Holmdahl told Williams he had taken the skull. Williams wrote that years later former Skull and Bones member Frank Brophy of Phoenix told him the secret society had bought it from Holmdahl. The El Pasoans, who want to return the skull to Mexico to be interred with the rest of Villa's remains, began planning to sue Skull and Bones, but they found they had no standing to file suit. "If we could get into federal court, under the new federal rules of evidence, we could present a lot of the facts we had," said group member Frank Hunter, a retired lawyer and Democratic Party activist. Members contacted Soledad Seanez de Villa, the revolutionary's 92-year-old widow, but she wanted no part in the quest. "She contended that the head was not missing," Hunter said. The group asked Enrique Buj Flores, Mexico's con­ sul general in El Paso, if the Mexican government would like to sue. But Buj Flores "ended up talking to himself about all the red tape" the suit would involve, Hunter said. That left one option, Hunter said — give the Skull and Bones club the one thing it doesn't want. "We've come to the conclusion that the main thing they don't want is publicity," he said. Hunter said the secret society has not been very cooperative. TAs,AI’s and dependents of staff and faculty How about a Health Plan that saves $48 a month just for starters?

'a p m ty tm 460 9234 The Blob’ is back! By CAROL HUNEKE Daily Texan Staff The idea of a m odern, technicol­ or version of the classic Blob may seem as offensive as the coloriza- tion of Citizen Kane. But let's face it, the original Blob w asn't that classic — a frightening B-movie at best. The new version at least keeps in spirit w ith the original; it was an old B-movie, now it's a new B-movie — good for a scare and a scream or two, but not that good. While the new Blob borrow s a few images from the 1958 version, it is not a simple rem ake of the original. In fact, the contem porary film bears an uncanny resem ­ blance to Gremlins. Not only does The Blob seem to be set in the same small tow n, but it also involves a similar teen-age couple trying to defeat a similarly m ultiplying m onster. Only the film's special effects save it from terminal mediocrity. The filmmakers d o n 't spare the audience from any of the m on­ ster's feeding frenzies — there is enough blood and guts to turn anyone off pizza for a week. And the film can claim one of the gros­ sest gore scenes in cinematic histo­ ry, involving a short-order cook and a blob-possessed garbage dis­ posal. The blob itself definitely benefits from colorization. W hat was be­ fore an unconvincing gray mass, is now a pulsating, overgrow n amoeba. The blob starts out rela­ tively transparent, but becomes darker as it devours people. Half­ digested victims can be seen as the blob slimes its way along. Actually, the dialogue is the m ost frightening aspect of the movie. Lines like "You've got it buddy, you've got it," and "It came from the sky," make the au ­ dience writhe in horror. The unim aginative dialogue does, however, seem to fit the u n ­ inspiring characters. O ur heroine, Meg Penny (Shawnee Smith) is — you guessed it — a high school prom queen w ho finds the inner strength to battle the blob. Meg develops from a sw eet-natured cheerleader into a gun-slinging, Rambo-like m onster killer. Add an unconvincing array of evil scientists, m ean deputies, u n ­ sym pathetic doctors and apocry­ phal preachers, and the blob be­ comes a definite It's kinda fun to try to figure out w ho's going to get it next and how. The blob is the real hero. favorite. But The Blob shouldn't be that good. There seems to be an unw ritten dogm a that horror films shouldn't have to bear the b u r­ dens of good plotting and believ­ able dialogue. For some reason, realism combined with fright cre­ ates an unrealistic effect. Maybe if horror is too real, it's just too scary to believe. The Blob fits snugly into the clas­ sic horror genre.

It's an appeal that Holly D unn de­ serves, because she doesn't try to be w hat she's not, and she sings from the heart. Surprisingly, the money- hungry Nashville m oguls have let her get away with it. Perhaps they've finally seen the w isdom in D unn's personal philosophy: "Music is m eant to make the heart rich." Holly Dunn appears at Aquafest Wednesday night on the East Stage. Tickets are $6, $4 with a Skipper Pin.

The 24-hour wait, however, took its toll on the historic event. The fanfare and festivities that came with Monday night's rainout were miss­ ing, and so were the celebrities, politicians and baseball officials who came to see tradition bro­ ken at the 74-year-old ballpark. By the time they played, it seemed like any other night game in the major leagues. The lights worked fine as no fly balls or popups were lost, and the shadows cast in the comers did not affect action. The loudest cheers from the 36,399 fans came in the seventh inning, when Andre Dawson's RBI single capped a four-run outburst that broke a 2-2 tie, and when the game ended. Cubs rookie Mark Grace got the first official hit, a single in the first inning. On Monday night, Philadelphia's Phil Bradley led off the game with a home run, but all numbers were wiped out when rain stopped play in the fourth with Chicago leading 3-1. ■ Astros 3, Giants 2 — In Houston, Glenn Davis drove home two runs on a pair of singles, including his 12th game-winning hit in the eighth inning, rallying the red-hot Astros to a 3-2 victory over San Francisco Tuesday night. The victory, coupled with Los Angeles' 6-0 loss to Cincinnati, cut the Dodgers' lead to one- 11 mmm . .. - half game in the National League West over the Astros. Houston has won six of its last seven and 21 of its last 28. ■ Reds 6, Dodgers 0 — In Cincinnati, Danny Jackson pitched a four-hitter for his career-high 15th victory and Bo Diaz hit a three-run homer to lead the Reds to a victory over slumping Los Angeles. Jackson, 15-5, outpitched Don Sutton to send the National League West leaders to their ninth loss in 12 games. ■ Cardinals 7, Phillies 3 — In Philadelphia, Terry Pendleton singled twice, knocking in three runs, in a seven-run eighth inning as St. Louis rallied for a victory over the Phillies. ■ Padres 5, Braves 1 — In Atlanta, right-hand­ er Eric Show held the Braves to four hits and Benito Santiago hit two home runs as San Diego beat Atlanta. ■ Pirates 10, Expos 8 — In Montreal, Sid Bream drove in four runs and Bobby Bonilla hit a two-run homer as Pittsburgh defeated the Ex­ pos. Brian Fisher, 7-9, gave up seven hits in 6% innings to snap a three-game losing streak. ■ Rangers 6, Tigers 2 — In Arlington, Bobby Witt pitched a three-hitter for his sixth straight complete game since being recalled from the mi­ nors July 7 and the Rangers beat Detroit. Witt, 4-7, has won four of his six starts with an earned run average of 2.08 since being recalled from Class AAA Oklahoma City. ■ Brewers 3-1, Red Sox 2-5 — In Milwaukee, Mike Boddicker and Bob Stanley combined on a seven-hitter and Rich Gedman homered as Bos­ ton beat the Brewers to gain a split in their dou­ bleheader and take sole possession of second place in the American League East. In the first game, Joey Meyer homered on Roger Clemens' first pitch in the bottom of the ninth to give the Brewers a 3-2 victory. ■ Twins 4, Indians 3 — In Minneapolis, Gary Gaetti hit a two-run homer and Kent Hrbek broke a sixth-inning tie with an RBI single as the Twins beat Cleveland and sent the Indians' Greg Swindell, 12-11, to his 10th loss in 12 decisions. ■ Blue Jays 6, Yankees 3 — In New York, Sal Butera's two-run triple keyed a five-run sixth in­ ning and reliever Duane Ward pitched four shut­ out innings as Toronto beat the Yankees. ■ Royals 5, Orioles 4 — In Kansas City, Pat Tabler's three-run double in the ninth inning raised his lifetime batting average to .571 with the bases loaded and the Royals beat Baltimore for the 10th straight time this season. ■ Athletics 8, White Sox 1 — In Oakland, Dave Stewart pitched a five-hitter for his sixth straight complete game and the Athletics backed him with three home runs as the A's beat Chica­ go for their ninth victory in 11 games. ■ Mariners 4, Angels 1 — In Anaheim, Alvin Davis became Seattle's all-time home run leader with a two-run shot in the fourth inning and Mike Moore won for the first time since June 24 as the Mariners beat California. Mickey Brantley singled in the fourth against Mike Witt, 8-11, and Davis hit his 14th homer of the season and 106th lifetime. M c F a r l a n e __________________ Continued from page lb 2:31.01. McFarlane didn't provide the only excitement of the day. The men's 100-meter butterfly competi­ tion featured the day's closest race and biggest upset. Matt Biondi swam a 53.09, a few tenths of a second faster than Jay Mortenson (53.29) and Pablo Mor­ ales (53.52), to win the race and earn his second spot on the U.S. Olympic team. The performance also kept alive Biondi's hopes of qualifying for sev­ en events. While Biondi was expect­ ed to do well, Mortenson pulled off the upset of the trials — easing ahead of world and American record holder Morales in the final 30 meters. After the race, Mortenson practi­ for beating his cally apologized teammate and friend. "Pablo's really taught me a lot," Mortenson said. "This is the first time I've beaten him in something major. After the race I told him I wished everything would have worked out for all of us." Mitzi Kremer and Mary Wayte also gained their second spots on the team, finishing first and second in the women's 200-meter freestyle. Both earned spots in the 100 free­ style Monday. Kremer caught Wayte in the final 50 meters to fin­ ish in 1:58.97, ahead of Wayte's 1:59.12 clocking. For a moment Tuesday night, it looked as if a second Longhorn would gain a trip to Seoul. Texas-ex Bill Stapleton challenged American record holder Dave Wharton for 300 meters before succumbing on the fi­ nal leg in the men's 400 individual medley. Stapleton fell from second to fifth in the last 100 meters of the race. Although no records were broken on day two of the trials, Quick did say some things encouraged him. "After yesterday's four records, today wasn't spectacular," Quick said. "But everybody was close enough to a record. We are going to see a significant amount of improve­ ment in the next five weeks. The guys will be racing each other and they will get faster. "Yet I'm very happy for Tracey." McFarlane, who tries for a second spot on the team Thursday night in the 100-meter breaststroke, said this was the happiest moment in her life. "At least until Thursday." Tracey McFarlane surges to an Olympic berth in the breaststroke.

Welcome to Hell — registration, adds and drops By Jlprl BftMks Every freshman has heard the horror stories about what registra­ tion and adds and drops are like. They have had nightmares about not being able to get any classes or, worse yet, getting stuck in classes like Calculus I for honors engineer­ ing majors, pre-med microbiology or epistemology, failing all their classes, returning home in disgrace, being rejected by friends and family and winding up a Drag worm. So maybe the scenario is not that bad, but people will say just about anything to scare a freshman, and it usually works. Although in some instances the rumors are close to reality, most of the time it is not a life-shattering ex­ perience. This is how it is done: First, get a course schedule book at any area textbook store. There are lots of them on Guadalupe St. (the Drag), which borders the west side of the campus. Pick which classes you want, make up a tentative schedule and choose several alternative choices in case the ones you want are full. Then get a course request form in the Peter T. Flawn Academic Center lobby on Aug. 29-30, 8 a.m .-4:45 p.m.. Fill in your schedule informa­ tion and take it to your advising lo­ cation, which is in the course sched­ ule book, to have it approved and ask any questions about your selec­ tions or what you should take. Ad­ visers will be available Aug. 29-31. Centralized registration for new and readmitted students takes place at the Erwin Center on Aug. 30. If you can't make it on Aug. 30, you can register on Aug. 31 by following the same steps. You make the long trek over there at the time it says in the course schedule book — you can go later than your listed time, but the earlier you go, the more likely it is that you'll get the classes you want — and prepare to be there forever. Enter through the arena west en­ trance, sit down and wait awhile. They will give you a mini-registra- tion lecture, after which they will let you go fight your way to the table of the department you need, while you pray the class you want is still open. When you get to the table, if the class you want is open they will give you a class label — a little white sticker — to put on your form. Make sure the number on the stick­ er matches the unique number of the class you want. When you get all the little stickers you need, go to station 122, the final check area. Then go to the arena floor to have a fee bill printed. Then it is time to pay the bill. You have to give your fee bill to a cashier, even if the amount due is zero, or your registration will be canceled. Representatives from the offices of Student Financial Aid and Accounting will be there for stu­ dents who receive financial aid. After you get your paid fee re­ ceipt, go to Room 200 in Gregory Gym to have an ID made. You need them for all kinds of things, like tak­ ing tests, using the gym facilities and gi ting discounts on movie tick­ ets at the Texas Union. Anyone who has not registered by Aug. 31 must go through late registration Sept. 6-9 and pay a fee of $25. Course request forms will be available in the Peter T. Flawn Aca­ demic Center lobby Sept. 6-9 from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Fill them out and get them approved by an adviser at the locations listed in the course schedule book. To get a class label you go to the offices of the department that you want to enroll in. After you have; gotten all the labels you need, take the form back to the Academic Cen­ ter lobby to be checked. Then your fee bill will be printed and you can pay it. It must be paid that day or your registration will be canceled. If you went through early regis­ tration and do not have funds to pay your fee bill, the Office of Stu­ dent Financial Aid can help.

It sucks. Everybody's got a gimmick — check out the ads in this issue. “ Lowest prices in tow n," or a re­ bate, or free T-shirts. W hatever. But the truth is, prices at the four m ain cam pus-area bookstores are (shh, it's a secret) practically the same. As in, the largest variance found in our random survey of 11 freshm an- type books was $2. Most of the time it was more like 5 cents. The bookstores and their respec­ tive lures are: ■ The University Co-op. The big­ gest, and linked to the University because its board of directors in­ cludes elected UT students, for w hatever that's worth. The gimmick: an annual rebate, determ ined by the store's board of directors, that has been steadily in­ creasing in recent years and that in 1987 was 10 percent, according to Co-op M anager George Mitchell. He said the C o-op's financial health determ ines the am ount of the re­ bate. It's mailed to you at the end of the sem ester if you save all your re­ ceipts from the whole year, and if you rem em ber to turn them in, and if you fill out a little form. All for about 10 bucks, which is w hat 10 percent is if you buy $100 w orth of m erchandise. Not that 10 percent is bad, but w ouldn't it be m ore titillating and enticing if the m oney were handed back on the spot? O h well. Unlike the other three large book­ stores, the ever-expanding Co-op — it and its satellite stores take up nearly a block — is much more than a bookstore. It's also got clothes, food, camera and video supplies, even more books on the up p er level and the biggest d u m burnt-orange clot of Longhorn paraphernalia around. Fo r un-toxttsook books, rn o s to n c o n r p i d o s s o s , tr y H rif-P ric o Books, about 10 blocks fr o n cam pus on th e D rag . ■ Texas Textbooks, “low est prices in tow n." There's a sucker bom eve­ ry m inute, too. N ot to be snipy, but how are they supposed to keep up w ith everybody else's prices on a zillion books, anyw ay? Little 24- hour book spies planted in every­ body's stacks, maybe? Texas Textbooks' prices usually do equal or better the lowest com­ petitor's, but not always. If you're a vigilant, Consumer Reports kind of person and actually catch them h av­ ing a higher price, they prom ise to pay you the difference. There was a small fuss about this last year, w hen one student did catch these guys with a higher price. The ow ner balked at paying double is w hat the guarantee w as w orth then), the student filed a com plaint w ith the attorney general, and the case was “closed as unresolved” in December. the difference (which But the store's policy changed be­ cause of the houha, and ow ner M or­ ris Woods said everything is hunky- dory. “ I can't say w e're the cheapest on every title all the tim e," he said, “but we diligently check the prices on all the significant titles. Some­ times we check four or five tim es." And let's not forget the other nif­ ty thing about this store: You can phone in your order, and they'll d e ­ liver for free w ithin three hours — kinda like a certain pizza place I w o n 't nam e. Oh, and "Free T-shirt w ith coupon and $40 purchase," says their ad from earlier this year. ■ Bevo's Bookstore, notable for its statue of a bull m ounted on top of the store an d stolen periodically by pranksters. Store gimmick: “The low est prices in tow n ." “The book­ store that cares." "U sed books (and plenty of them )." Worn slogans (and plenty of them). Bevo's also is the m ost conspicu­ ously orange-and-w hite store on the Drag, and it has the second-largest clot of bum t-orange gunk — such as those delightful "M y daughter/son is a Texas Longhorn" bum per stick­ ers. ■ W allace's Bookstore, smallest of the four, an d w ith kinda uneven prices. In our sampling, the other three stayed w ithin about 5 cents of each other for used books. Wallace's usually did too, but also strayed fur­ th er away, unpredictably. Which can be to your advantage if you shop around. O h, and I lied at the beginning of this article — Wallace's doesn't real­ ly have any gimmicks. The four stores are whisker-close on new-book prices because of som e cute little formula they all use. Which leads to the next question: W hat to buy, new or used? Well, you're going to w ant to sell back m ost of the books you buy at the end of the sem ester. A nd you're going to feel ripped off, because you'll get m aybe half of w hat you bought the books for — books that they can resell to another dope next sem ester. Ugh. But anyway. W hether you buy a book new or used, you'll be selling it back used, right? And you'll get the sam e am ount of m oney, regardless of the book's condition, unless 1) It's too ratty for the stores to buy back — tough luck, kiddo, or 2) It's not being used next sem ester — tough luck again. More about that later. So the answ er to “new or used?" dep ends on w hether you 'd rather shell out about 33 percent extra to get a virginal copy of Madame Curie: A Glowing Heroine, sans underlines, Registration ............» 4.......... — .......— — Continued from p ge 2C more with no outstanding loans from the University or bars, you can take your fee bill and a photo ID to the financial aid office and get a loan for the amount on the bill. You have up to three months to pay the loan back, and you pay only 4 percent interest or $1, which ever is more. If your schedule is completely messed up, don't despair — you can go to adds and drops. A dds and drops is a lot like registration, but there are more people and they are more desperate. Priority centralized adds and for students w ho went drops, through early registration, signed up for more than 12 hours and received less than that, will be Sept. 1 from 8:30 a.m . to 2 p.m . at the Erwin Center.

If you only need to drop a class you shouldn't have any problem . Get a form off of the table, fill it out and give it to the person there. If you need to add a class, good luck. W hen adding a class, you have to stand around and wait until som e­ one drops the class you w ant. If and w hen that happens, the person at the table will sign and stam p your form and give you a copy.

Academic councils within each college offer programs and services directed toward the specific inter­ ests of students in each college such as job fairs and speakers. Each council has a different method for accepting new voting members, but there are always ways to become in­ volved. Check in the fall for applica­ tion deadlines. The Ex-Students' Association Stu­ dent Involvement Committee (SIC) plans programs that involve the alumni of the University. One project for this year is to bring back homecoming at the University. The Texas Union offers program and op­ erations committees that allow you to become involved in the financial decisions fo the Union and plan concerts and cultural events. The University also has one of the largest recreational sports programs in the nation. Thousands of teams compete every year in intramural sports such as football and softball. individual in Tournaments sports such as tennis and golf occur the regularly. Outdoor activities such as camping and skiing are also orga­ nized byt the Office of Recreational Sports. Fraternity and sorority rush occur the week before school begins. Any­ one can rush, but you should con­ tact the Interfratemity Council or the Panhellenic Council for registra­ tion details. Other groups include the Sailing Club, Pre-Law Association, and many different service prganiza- tions. You can find information on every registered organization in the Campus Activities Center on the fourth floor of the Texas Union. The academic program is de­ manding in every discipline and will definitely give you a challenge. It is tough to convince yourself to study on a Saturday night, but occa­ sionally everyone has a two-test Monday. Austin offers many dis­ tractions that can keep you from studying, but if you manage those "distractions" properly, your col­ lege years will be much more rewarding.

Rites of Passage Graduate student passes on lessons to help you avoid blunders By P M M lM fey Page 8C/THE DAILY TEXAN/August 1988 Student government active In deciding campus pódeles By fre e PorM d The immense size of both the UT campus and student body can be somewhat overbearing to a person straight out of high school, but these same qualities make the UT experience an excellent prov­ ing ground for the "real world." The crowds of strangers walk­ ing along the West Mall at noon look no different than the throngs of lunch hour pedestrians that fill the Congress Avenue sidewalks. Countless parallels can be drawn between the University and real world experiences, but no where are they more useful than in government. Student government is one area where young, budding politicians can gain valuable experience in persuading people to get out and vote. The UT Students' Association — the representative assembly of the student body — sponsors elections every spring to select members from each college. Campaigns for student office can be long and competitive with only the toughest orators surviv­ ing to reap the benefits of victory. Often the losers' only contribu­ tion are the polictical posters that plaster for weeks after the election. the campus trees The number of SA representa­ tives elected is based on the num­ ber of students in each college. For example, the College of Liber­ al Arts — usually with the highest student enrollment — has four to five representatives. Mike Hulbert, current president of SA, said the average is two or three representatives per college. Each college elects its own rep­ resentatives, but the SA president and vice president are elected on a campus wide basis. Sounds pretty straightforward, but the actual duties of a student representative can be both chal­ lenging and time-consuming. Sure planning the senior prom might have been fun, but do not expect that sort of thing at the University. UT student government re­ quires more responsibility than most high school students are used to, Hulbert said. SA representatives are expected to deal with UT faculty and ad­ ministrators on a competent level. The UT Faculty Senate and Uni­ versity Council — two regulatory bodies that make policy recom­ mendations for the University — often ask for SA input. The negotiating between SA members and faculty is often simi­ lar to that of corporations in the business world, Hulbert said. "Student government provides guidelines for the way people act, but it is not so restrictive that it inhibits people," he said. The Students' Association is not See SA, page 20C So I crammed a two-year program into four years here at the Universi­ ty. At least I got something to show for it. Look at all the neat stuff I learned. Football as Ritual The most important ritual for UT undergraduates is football games. High school proms pale when com­ pared with the amount of makeup used at a UT home game. L'Oreal must make half its yearly earnings because of the UT home schedule. These games are serious social events. You women will know you've reached the top (or bottom, depending on your perspective) of the UT social scene when you a get a date with a Texas "Cowboy" or "Wrangler" and get to go in the end zone for a "chat" during halftime. These folks are all doodied up to look like "real" Texans and they act like they haven't seen each other in years when, in reality, they all go to the same parties continuously. The traditions are wonderful. And the way the football team has been playing these last few years, watching the social scene in the end zone is sometimes more entertain­ ing than the actual game. (But it's sacrilegious around here to write such things.) Yeah, yeah, Coach Mac. We know. This team is on the rebound. Maybe this year the best game at the Game will not be the scamming going on in the end zone at halftime. Another rite of passage is learn­ ing the UT fight songs, at these games. (If you don't know them al­ ready, or, God forbid, you're a Yan­ kee who has no clue that the main religion in Texas is Football.) The easiest part I've found, is when everybody changes the words from "Give 'em hail, give 'em hail, Go Horns Go" to "Give 'em hell, give 'em hell, make 'em eat shit!" to remember, Make sure you practice this song 50 times before your first game, be­ cause then these ritual-minded fans get complicated on you, and make you throw your right hand in the air at strategic moments during the song. You know, with that Hook 'em sign that's considered obscene in some countries. The scary thing is that when 50,000 people do it to­ gether, it is eerily reminiscent of a Nazi Party rally. I'm not saying these people are Nazis, or anything, only that the UT hand motions of the crowd are powerfully haunting. Enough on the football social scene. In spite of all the silly ritual they can be a good time. Besides, the Longhorn Band is bad-ass. You think fraternity hazing is tough? Check out one of those early fall band practices when they're "break­ ing" in their new members. Even Marines don't march so much with people shouting all in their face. Bars and Bathrooms The other really important social tip to remember is that if you go to Les Amis Cafe on 24th Street, then you can't go to Abel's down the street (and vice versa). While these two drinking establishments may be only two blocks apart physically, they are actually located in different worlds. serious Bohemians, foreigners, smokers, and white people who think they are politically "correct" all hang out and commiserate at Les Amis. And Les Amis ranks in the top five of the informal Austin sur­ vey of Austin bathroom graffiti for political, sexual and social commen­ tary. At Abel's, mens' hair length hasn't come close to touching their ears in the last decade. And word has it that many clients at Abel's are known for their mating call, "Oh, I'm SO drunk." Abel's bathroom graffiti are written in Greek letters, though this does not necessarily show the clients' appreciation for classical studies. Actually, very nice people patron­ ize Les Amis and Abel's. And while their paths might cross at Maddog & Beans in between, their social and political worlds will probably only intermingle in their next lives. Student Life (or Life Students) As far as apartments are con­ cerned, don't take the first one you see. Especially during the rent wars of post-oil-bust Texas. The same place I paid $275 for in 1984 is going now for $195. If you do live in the top floors of Dobie Center or the Castilian, be prepared to allow up to 20 minutes of elevator waiting time, just to get down for your first class of the day. How are you going to pay for college? Do you need a scholarship, grant, or financial aid? $150,000,000.00 went unclaimed last year. WE CAN HELP. GUARANTEED.

Highland Mall (512)467-2102 But they're better than most apart­ ment complexes, because at least you'll know your neighbors (whether you like them or not). And if you're (un)ludcy enough to belfi the (in)famous Jester Zoo, relax and enjoy it. It's funny how many peo­ ple talk about how they hated it when they were in Jester, and have such fond memories of the place af­ ter they leave. For studying, the UT administra­ tion recently closed the Law Library to undergraduates, because, they implied, the little brats liked to chat too much. Of course, those exceed­ ingly professional and soon to be rich would-be lawyers never talk to each other when they study. If they did that they might learn some­ thing. One of the new libraries of choice (for those who dare to venture to what used to be the edge of cam­ pus) is the Latin American Studies Library. It's way up the hill, past the stadium and next to LBJ's huge mausoleum. There are a few nice big tables to spread out your books and real soft chairs where there are often more sleepers than studiers. However, don't go next door to the LBJ Library, where the archetypical librarians fine you for talking. At the University, if you start out majoring in engineering you will soon fail out and go to the business school. Then you will fail there and go to economics. And since the eco­ nomics grad student assistant in­ structors are only allowed to give 45 percent A's and B's, you will soon fail out of economics and end up in sociology, history, or communica­ tion. You know communication. It's the big rusty monstrosity of a build­ ing where the "Wannabe Anchor­ the women" outnumber even Spuds McKenzie T-shirts. Actually, the process of changing majors has become institutionalized at the University, in part due to an attack on student grades that takes the official guise of "raising stand­ ards." But don't despair. If you do end up in liberal arts after failing all the other big money majors, you'll have a better time AND learn how to think, instead of being told what to think, and who to think it for. As for languages, you used to be able to fail the Spanish placement exam on purpose and then take Spanish 1 for an easy five-credit A.

Still others have parents/relatives that were in sororities or fraternities and want their children to be in­ volved. No matter how they discovered this knowledge, they will be suffer­ ing the same summer fate. They have applications to fill out, pictures to take and send out, an entire new wardrobe to purchase — obviously, there's isn't such a thing as a cheap Greek. first Then comes the big week — fall rush week. A week of parties (16 in the "silence" two days), (rushees are discouraged from talk­ ing to different sororities — and even boys and parents — so as to prevent undue pressure) and then the "bid", the big invitation to join. It's not easy to go through this period — especially when you con­ sider that most of these students are freshmen dealing with other aca­ demic pressures. (Sororities do have academic requirements.) So although it might seem easy to laugh at the hot, sweaty girls as they wander panic-stricken through West Campus (the home of most sororities), don't. They really aren't bad, and they have suffered for their fate. By Ki p h M h m , You'll see them everywhere. They'll be dressed in their Sunday finest — silk, linen, lots of high heels, makeup and hair spray. They'll be in large groups, talking nervously among themselves. And considering the highs will probably be in the mid-90s, they'll be rather ungraciously sweating like pigs. Welcome to Rush Week 1988. For a long time, the concepts of Greeks (in particular, sororities) and rush were as foreign to me as the country itself. But when your best friend and your roommate are deep­ ly involved in that other world, you tend to start learning about things that ordinarily would remain enig­ matic. For example, they speak a differ­ ent language — casuals aren't really casual in the sense of faded shorts and a grundgy shirt; they require several hours of prep time. They rarely have wild, drunken parties — instead, they "mix" and "match, " and alcohol is not served by the sorority sponsor. And they do more for the com­ munity through service projects — such as Special Olympics — than most of us do on a regular basis. One sorority's motto is, "We live for each other." And in the sense that the women who participate in rush and pledge are choosing some of their best friends — or sisters — for the next four years, it isn't far from the truth. But the key here is making it through rush — a week of dressing up, going to different parties, wear­ ing bows, having to smile and be friendly whether you like it or not, and watching a bunch of actives (members, non-pledges) dress up as cowgirls or something and perform skits. So, how does an interested female discover this fun, exciting world? That depends, really. Some peo­ ple hear about it through meetings at their high schools or "rush round tables" sponsored by an area's Pan- hellenic alumnae (former sorority members) councils. Others come to summer orienta­ tion, mention it and and are re­ ferred to the University Panhellenic Council, located at 2213 San Anto­ Although sororities spend some of their time doing community projects, they do find time to have fun with the fraternities.

According to UT officials, these computer labs have been well used by students. William Green, a lab supervisor at the Computation Center's Micro­ computer Center in the Peter T. Flawn Academic Center, said there are often lines of students waiting for the computers. “ It (the lab) is heavily utilized. We're busy just about all the time," he said. While students at the CCMC can use the computers free of charge, there is only a limited selection of software available. “ It's real hard to find money for softw are," Green said. “ We can't afford to go out and buy every package. We've adopted the philosophy to make the facility functional." in Students using this facility, Room 29 of the academic center, have access to some common soft­ ware packages for both the Macin­ tosh and IBM personal computers, but Green said many students bring their own software and must bring their own disks on which they can store their data. Like the Computation Center lab, the computer lab in the Perry C as­ taneda Library is sometimes very busy but could be busier, said Bar­ bara Jakubowksi, a senior office as­ sistant in the library's computer lab. "In May, we had 734 people and we averaged 54 percent usage between September and Jun e," she said. "There should be more people." The PCL lab, unlike the CCMC, has over 150 different packages, with such applications as database m anagem ent, word processing, graphics and communications. The hardware for the PCL lab was donated from the IBM corporation. Two of the computers in the lab are available with modems for students who need to research work requir­ ing access to computer databases outside the UT system. In addition to the Computation Center lab and the PCL computer lab, many dormitories have their own labs, funded from the housing fees of the residents. Marla Hanson, a computer-train­ ing specialist for the Housing and Food Service, said the labs in Jester East, Jester West, Prather, Blanton, Kinsolving, Andrews, Littlefield, Simpkins and Moore-Hill were de­ signed to help students work with computers. labs were de­ signed to help people without any computer experience,” she said. “ Most have never touched a com­ puter and need a lot of hand-hold­ ing." “ The Janice Daman, assistant director of the Housing and Food Service Di­ vision, said the lab assistants work as trainers to help the students. “ I expect them to be up and around helping people," she said. Daman said the labs were put into the dormitories as a service tor the residents. “ We want to make sure li­ residents are computer our terate," she said. “ It's important they have the skills to make it through the University." In addition to giving students ac­ cess to personal computers, the labs encourage students to live in the on- campus dorms. "It is a good attrac­ tion and retention mechanism ," Daman said. “ Students who live with us are more inclined to stay with u s." The labs in the dormitories have between 10 and 20 Macintosh com­ puters and between three and 10 IBM Personal System/2 Model 30 computers each. Lab assistants are on duty to assist students with problems. Like the labs in the dormitories, which can be used only by residents of the dormitories, many colleges and departments have computer labs that can be used only by stu­ dents in particular departments. The College of Business Adminis­ tration has five labs. Fred Rye, di­ rector of the College of Business Ad­ ministration Computation Center, said these labs have been open to all students, but the college will proba­ bly begin restricting acccess to busi­ ness students because of the heavy use. “ We have to make sure business students are taken care of first," he said. Rye said the college is already looking at upgrading the labs which contain some 150 personal comput­ ers due to the advancing personal computer technology rather than simply expanding the labs to accom­ modate more users. "We'll have to improve current facilities before we look at expan­ sion," he said. The improvements may include faster equipment, better print ser­ vices and more file service.

Studying on any weeknight is hope­ less, unless you can concentrate with a lot of people chatting and walking by. So why even bother going to the UGL-y? For the audio-visual collec­ tion, that's why. Listen to cool tunes and the newest hits while pre­ tending to study, and then you can call your parents and tell them that you spent four hours at the library (but don't tell them what you were doing there). The Perry-C astaneda Library (PCL) is the biggest of the libraries and good for more serious study­ ing. Besides the vast collection of books, you can find alm ost any­ thing you need at this library in term s of research materials, periodi­ cals, m aps, etc. Like the UGL, the PCL has extras such as a M icrocomputer C enter — which comes in handy for writing those pesky papers that you will get assigned. The UGL and the PCL are the two biggies that most students use, but there are a lot of other libraries to choose from. O thers include: ■ The Science Library is a quiet, spacious, elegant old-fashioned li­ brary. Glance up while you are studying and you can read the in­ spiring quotes inscribed on the ceil­ ing beams. The Architecture library is similarly elegant. ■ Chem istry, Physics-M ath-Astron- omy, Engineering and Geology li­ braries are smaller scale but good "specialty" libraries. The Engineer­ ing Library is almost like a life force for engineering students, m any of whom eat, drink, sleep, and rumi- R v JIh M s M h n h So you are fínally going away to college. Your parents will be telling you to eat well, go to bed early, and hit the books. Yeah right! Well, you might have to do some studying — and that means, for most of us, using the libraries. Relax, it's almost painless. Even fun. To check out books, simply flash your student ID card (always, al­ ways carry it with you wherever you go because you will need it). You can check out as many books as you can walk away with for a period of two weeks. The UT General Libraries hold more than 3 million books and peri­ odicals, and even with 48,000 stu­ dents there are plenty of books to go around. And you can renew items as many times as you like, un­ less someone "puts a hold" on an item by requesting it. The easiest way to look up books or materials is by using the on-line catalog (UTCAT), a computerized file of most UT items. You may con­ duct searches in a variety of ways, including by author, title, subject, and call number. Exceedingly easy to use, the on ­ line catalog has more or less re­ placed the file catalog since 1985. The only items not presently includ­ ed are those in the law library and other specialized materials. W hen doing research, it is easiest to just ask the nice folks w ho are there to help you. If you are too shy to ask, the U ndergraduate Library (UGL) has information readily avail­ able on pam phlets that discuss ev­ erything from how to search for pe­ riodicals to looking for a particular film article. Located next to the Texas Student Union on the West Mall, the UGL is probably the most readily accessible library on campus, but it tends to be crowded and noisy for that same reason. One good thing about the UGL is that it stays open later than all the other libraries d u n n g the reg­ ular sem ester session, and is open 24 hours dunng final exams. This librar) is best for short b u r s t s of studying activity, such as when you need to study a bit before head­ ing to class or when you w ant to put in an hour of studying before going home so you will not feel bad about goofing off for the rest of the day The best time to study there is Another library is the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum, which primarily contains the archives of the President Johnson administration. TSP Staff Photo WELCOME BACK STUDENTS BY • THE • SLICE nate over their hom ew ork in the halls outside the library, a The Fine Arts Library is just about the hippest of all the libraries.

Student Health Center provides general medical care, counseling By ttrtrty B n n Here you are at Big University, worrying about course loads and money and the sweetie you left back home, and ignoring that scratchy feeling in the back of your throat. You can't be sick: you don't have a doctor here, you can't run home to Mom, you don't know your room­ mates well enough to ask them to look in your mouth. You need help. Aches and pains The physicians and nurse practi­ tioners of the Student Health Cen­ ter, 105 W. 26th Street, provide gen­ eral health care to University students. There is no charge for off­ ice visits during regular hours, be­ cause the Center is partially funded through student services fees. Even the extra charges for lab tests, X- rays and specialty clinics are usually much lower than you would pay elsewhere. For primary care, the Health Cen­ ter encourages students to choose one physician or nurse practitioner, almost as a family physician. Prima­ ry care physicians handle your rou­ tine medical needs, including gynecological exams, and if neces­ sary will refer you to speciality clin­ ics — physical therapy, radiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, der­ matology, internal medicine or orthopedics. Book'em Continued from page 4C textbook you've got is not going to be used next semester. Maybe you've got the fifth edition, and the evil professor has switched to the sixth — this actually happens fairly often. Then you're stuck, and isn't it about time you had that garage sale? O r maybe the class isn't being taught next semester. If this hap­ pens to you in the spring, hold those books until the fall session and try to dump the goods then.

Tell the regis­ tered nurse your symptoms; he'll tell you whether to go to the emer­ gency room or to put some ice on it. Sex and drug "Anybody who's cominj to cam­ pus and plans to be sexually active — male or female — should sign up for a Methods of Contraception class," said Sherry Bell, coordinator of health education at the Student Health Center. These 90-minute classes, for women, men or mixed groups, cov­ er pros and cons of various contra­ ception methods. In other courses, you can learn to examine your breasts or to recognize the symp­ toms of sexually transmitted dis­ eases. For those concerned about AIDS, the Health Center's AIDS Resource Center has up-to-date information videos, pamphlets, even research papers. The Health Center offers confidential AIDS testing; students wishing anonymous testing will be referred to a city clinic. One in five students at the Uni­ versity could develop an alcohol problem, according to some esti­ mates. Free assessment services are offered at the Health Center and the UT Counseling and Mental Health Center (303 West Mall Building, 471-3515). The Health Center also works with residence halls and ath­ letic departments to present alcohol and drug education programs. The Health Center's Alcohol Awareness program, for example, examines the influence of friends, family and me­ dia on drinking decisions and other drinking issues. Two Alcoholics Anonymous groups meet on campus, and sever­ al Al-Anon and similar groups meet in the campus area. Jerry Horton, co-coordinator of CADEP, Campus Alcohol & Drug Education Pro­ gram, keeps a list of nearby support groups and is happy to refer stu­ dents.

Students can speak to a staff of registered nurses on general nutri­ tion and general health questions at the Health Center Health Informa­ tion Office. The Health Center also employs a registered dietitian who works with students with nutrition problems. Half-Price Books, about 10 blocks from campus on the Drag. Do not be cynical and think, aah, that's just a rope-'em-in business ploy — the books aren't really half price. Then you'll look really stupid when you go up to the counter and ask, "Um , how much are these the cashier yells, books?" and "W hat are you, a pinhead? It's only painted in 3-foot letters outside the store, Einstein!" may not be able to find the one you want. Worth a try, though. Tip No. 3: Most people with warped minds immediately think, "Aha, I can swindle the bookstores at sell-back time by putting a high- priced low-priced book!" sticker on a Well, wrong. The stores use com­ puters to calculate your paltry pay­ back, and they don't look at the price stickers. Nice try. The books there are truly half off the cover price. It's just that we're talking about old books, and you That's it. You're on your own. It's a jungle out there, and have a nice day.

Each of 16 total members of the newly organized UT marching band plays an instru­ ment purchased with pocket change from an Austin pawn shop. Decade nine — the 1980s. About 340 members of the same UT organ­ ization play at President Reagan's inauguration, perform for the Today Show and gamer the pre-eminent award for excellence among college bands. This rag to riches story embodies the essence of the UT “Show Band of the Southwest," a group that has demonstrated perseverance and a quest for excellence in its 88-year ex­ istence. “Because of the tradition and be­ cause of their talent level, the stu­ dents have a fierce pride in their performance," said Glenn Richter, the band director. “They want to do better. ... When that is the case, it makes the organization all the bet­ ter." Under Richter's direction, which began in 1980, the band won the 1986 Sudler Trophy, an annual award college marching bands of special merit for continuous years of outstanding work. recognizes that "In essence, this particular trophy is ... the most coveted award for a college band," Richter said. Richter has seen a fair share of winning since his involvement with the school began in 1967 as a fresh­ man. Richter played the baritone horn in the marching band for national championship Longhorn football teams in 1969 and 1970. "Those were very exciting days in UT history and school enthusiasm," Richter said. He performed in Cotton Bowls and the 1969 shoot-out between the nation's highest-ranked teams, the Longhorns and Arkansas Razor- backs — a 15-14 UT victory that many regard as "The Game of the Century." Family tradition preceded school loyalty for Richter, a native Texan whose father was a musician in a German polka band. "My father cherished music, loved bands and I really got to love it," he said. Richter received his tutelage un­ der Vincent DiNino, who directed the Longhorn marching band for 20 years until 1975. All indicators pointed to Richter's eventual return to the University as a director, but he thought other­ wise. "Not in a million years" did Richter envision a return to the Uni­ versity in the same place as the revered DiNino, who arranged such timeless songs as The Eyes of Texas and Texas Fight. While he doubted a return to the University as a successor to his most recent predecessors, DiNino and Tom Rhodes, Richter developed a yearning for teaching music during his days of marching in halftime shows. His experience as a student participant in the Longhorn band convinced him to pursue imparting the art to others, he said. Even under a qualified mentor, musical expertise does not come overnight. rehearsals held Ed Bailey, a mathematics senior who serves as band treasurer, said three two-hour times a week during the fall prepare the band for games. Brief practices on game days and sectional rehears­ als result in up to eight hours re­ quired on top of each member's weekly class schedule, he said. Stacy Bell, an advertising senior, said "spirit and enthusiasm" over­ flow among "the excellent musi­ cians" in the band. Richter said the top two-third players in the best major college bands play their instruments at sim­ ilar levels of skill. The UT band dis­ tinguishes itself with high-quality musicians its entire throughout roster, Richter said. The 338 marching band members expected this fall include twirlers, the drum major and the "guys who push Big Bertha," the University's behemoth drum. "Big Bertha would be the largest bass drum of her kind," Richter said. University of Georgia boosters posing as writers once called to in­ quire about Big Bertha for a "story" on the extraordinary drum, Richter said. He said he subtracted about 8 inches from Big Bertha's measure­ ments when responding to ques­ tions from the curious Georgia "re­ porters." "When I told them it was shorter, they built their drum 4 inches larger the measurements 1 gave than them," Richter said. Thus, the sneaky Georgia boost­ ers built a drum at least 4 inches smaller than Big Bertha, he said. The Longhorn marching band so prizes its herculean possession, it purchased a new cover for the drum. ‘The Sure Thing’ Okay, so the title sounds a little cheesy. This movie is really one you have to see while in college. Not only does it satisfy your hunger for beautiful people, but it is also quite funny.

Rush is the time greek recruit fraternities and sororities new members. There are basically two phases of rush week: formal and informal. Formal rush, sponsored by the In- terfratemity Council, is Aug. 29-31 and is free of cost. Informal rush is Sept. 1-4, and each fraternity will have its ow n events — such as dinners, cookouts and parties — scheduled on those days. The Interfratemity Council is the organization that represents all 30 greek fraternities and organizes rush at the University. The IFC has the task of acquainting all new male students with the University's fra­ ternity system. Formal rush will begin with a con­ vocation at 5 p .m ., Aug. 29, at the Texas Union Ballroom. Representa­ tives will be present from each fra­ ternity with information about their fraternities and their rush sched­ ules. “Definitely go to convocation. It's good for any new student just to find out w hat fraternities are all ab ou t," said Scott Wilder, director of the Interfratemity Council. O pen H ouse at all fraternities will be from 10 a.m . to 3 p .m ., Aug 30 and 31. At O pen H ouse each frater­ nity will provide inform ation about itself and give inform ation about its rush schedules. The IFC program is set for visits to at least six houses, but students may visit as many or as few as they want. At the University, the fraternity houses are scattered throughout the W est C am pus area, w hich is the area w est of G uadulupe Street. There is no G reek Row as exists at other universities.

The Interfratemity Council has published a handbook for rush, “Fraternities at T exas," which con­ tains schedules and information about all 30 greek fraternities at the University. The handbook was mailed earlier in the summ er to all new in coming male students free of charge. The handbook and rush in ­ formation are available at the IFC office, 2222 Rio Grande Street, Suite D. New students should be aWare, though, that some fraternities have been rushing new members during the summer. "S o m e fraternities will continue to pledge after school starts, but som e will have already formed their pledge classes, before school has started ," W ilder said. At the U niversity each fraternity has its ow n specific w ays of doing things, but the basics of the rush sit­ uation are true for all 30. Rush is a chance for both the new student and the fraternity to check out each other. W hen a fraternity finds the kind of guy it is looking for, it will extend a " b id ," which can be either a written or oral invita­ tion to pledge a fraternity. At that time it is either accepted or turned down. Accepting a "b id " is not perm a­ nently binding. "Just like any agree­ ment, if it turns out to be a bad idea, then you don't have to follow through with it," Wilder said. W ilder said new students should keep in mind "c o st and academic p rogram s." And m ake sure of a "hazing-free pledge program and, in general, think about how com ­ fortable you feel with th e m ," he said. W hile is no cost to go there joining a fraternity through rush, does involve a financial com m it­ ment. For most fraternities tw o o n e­ time fees are associated with jo in ­ ing. O ne is a pledging fee, which can range from $25 to $50, and is due near the beginning of the se­ m ester. The other, a $100 to $175 in­ itiation fee, is due near the end of the sem ester. M em bership and social dues vary from $25 to $400 a m onth. Dues may include fees for all or som e of the following: housing or parlor, meal plans, endow m ent and social. Som e costs will depend on w hether students live in the fraternity house and participate in the meal plan. GIMMICKS don't impress God.

"(The Center] will be a source of information relating to minority stu­ dents, especially regarding scholar­ ship information, social informa­ tion, finance information and any other information which would be relative to the minority student," said Michael Davis, a senior finance and psychology major and founder/ d irector of the MIC. An unprecedented project at UT, the center is funded primarily by the Students' Association, with ad­ ditional funding from UT President William Cunningham's office, Davis said.

When the Minority Information Center opens for the fall, it will be located in Room 1.126 of the Univer­ sity Teaching Center and will be available at least five days a week, Davis said. "We definitely want to be open every weekday and possibly every Saturday and Sunday," he said. "Whether or not we are open on the weekends will be determined by the size of our staff." Davis said that the center will not be a political organization, but rather a place where minority stu­ dents can leam about the opportu­ nities available to them at the Uni­ versity. "O ur overall purpose is to cen­ tralize the resources of the minority students and to centralize minority inform ationally org an izatio n s, speaking," Davis said.

Some students need readers, some need notetakers and the blind need brail texts, she said. In order to help disabled students adjust to the campus, the University offers a variety of organ­ izations. A branch of the Dean of Students Office is Services for Students with Disabilities. This off­ ice provides a wide array of services free for stu­ dents with physical or learning disabilities. Also a disabled student organization, All Bod­ ies Learning Equally or A.B.L.E., is available to help students meet other students who share common problems. "Different students have different needs," Many services for students with disabilities help students get an easier start at the University by providing maps of ramps and lists of accessi­ ble off-campus housing. "For new students, we have volunteers to help with mobility orientation for the blind," Armstrong-West said. Most buildings at the University are largely accessible to mobility impaired students.

Tuesday, Sept 6 - Friday, Sept 9 Various locations around campus Start Iresh' at UT Welcome program helps freshmen get acquainted with campus, people By BpsBby VBm Cristen Carson states the obvi­ ous. "UT is so large, it scares a lot of people away." But Carson, a couple dozen other freshmen advisers, the Office of the Dean of Students and several other campus agencies have set out to help new students start out "posi­ tively." "We want to get them excited about coming to UT," she said. To achieve this goal, the Office of the Dean of Students is hosting "Freshmen Welcome," a three- week-long series of events begin­ ning Aug. 31 designed to acquaint freshmen with the campus, to help them make friends and to answer their questions. But while the University has in­ creased its emphasis on setting the groundwork for a good experience at the University with the Freshmen Welcome program, this was not the original intent of the program, said Renee Chandler, a student develop­ ment specialist for the Office of the Dean of Students. The idea of a Freshmen Welcome was conceived last summer as a way to get new students involved in one big pep rally, said Maralyn Heim­ lich, Assistant Dean of Students. "That concept expanded to a week of programming," she said. This year's program goes beyond just teaching traditions, said Chan­ dler, who coordinates the program. "We want to welcome the stu­ dents to campus, to give them a chance to meet other freshmen and to acquaint them with the campus and services on campus," she said. Melanie Stansell, an orientation adviser who has been helping to plan the Freshmen Welcome pro­ gram, said the program sponsors also would like to provide freshmen the opportunity to see the students they saw during Summer Orienta­ tion. "We want to give the freshmen an opportunity to get reacquainted with their friends from Orientation and also to start a small network," Stansell said. Carol Pryor, assistant director for programming for the Texas Union, also said the events "will help the freshmen form a span of friendships early on." Other organizations such as the Texas Union, the Division of Recre­ ational Sports, the Performing Arts Center and the Ex-Students' Asso- cation also are working on pro­ grams for the new students. "All the organizations involved have realized a common goal of giv­ ing freshmen the best start they can have," Pryor said. "We'll cover more types of needs as opposed to providing separateefforts." While all the organizations are working with the slogan, "Start Fresh at UT," each is hosting its own events. "We the ta strengths each agency has," Chan­ dler said. focus on tried The Ex-Students' Association is hosting a Scavenger H unt Sept. 6-9. Students in sm a| groups will be giv­ en a camera donated by Kodak and a list of places and people to find on campus. "This gives students the opportu­ nity to visit various offices on cam­ pus, to meet with lepresentatives from agencies and also to learn about UT's traditio»s," Chandler said Susan Kessler, associate director of the Ex-Student^ Association, said the hunt will help solve one of the ongoing problems students have — knowing th* campus. "In a fun and interesting way, it gets the freshmen into the buildings and other places," she said. "It en­ courages a sense a ;community." Kessler also sad the hunt will benefit the Ex-Stuients' Association by getting the stidents acquainted with their service Making the stu­ dents' experienced while they are at the University positive will encour­ age them to stay active after gradua­ tion. she said. The Ex-Students' Association also p«p rally geared will be hosting a k. The cheerlead- towards freshmen, ers will teach the ‘reshmen the cheers and the band will play the songs typically heard at football games. Chandler said the pep rally is being put on "so the freshmen won't feel out of place 4 the first ‘ football game. ■ Barbara Sparkman, an informa­ tion writer for die Perforjung Arts Center, said getting and keeping the freshmen active is one of the reasons they became invoked. \ "Once we get the fresHnen over here, and they know how much fun it is, the will come over *9 sopho­ mores, juniors and seniorsakd later in life," Sparkman said. The financial difficulties experi­ enced by the PAC, however, were also a consideration in tiring to get the freshmen to particjflite in PAC events, Sparkman said. "We are making mo# of an effort to get students invcMvd," she said. "[Students are] a big nprket." The PAC will be M ing the Aus­ tin Music Festival Sep 16. "It's a different, $n sort of re­ laxed event that tiW can come to just see what thefAC is like," Sparkman said. Five Austin bands — Glass Eye, Wild Seeds, The Rivers, Bad Mutha Goose and The Killer Bees — will be Maying at the event to be emceed by staff members of the newly formed student radio station KTSB. At the music festival, the winner of the free trip to Cancún, donated by Sanborn Travel will be an­ nounced. Students will register for the trip at each event they attend during Freshmen Welcome. While the trip to Cancún may be the big prize, students will have the opportunity to win other prizes such as gift certificates to Wallace's Book Store and the University Co- Op during other events. The Office of the Dean of Stu­ dents hopes to give a prize to every­ one who enters some events such as the "Longhorn Olympics" coordi­ nated by the Divsion of Recreational Sports. The Texas Union will be hosting three events: a movie night, a party featuring the music of Javelin Boot and Friday Gras '88. "We would like to make available to freshmen — and showcase — some kinds of services and pro­ gramming that the Union offers," Pryor said. This year's Friday Gras celebra­ tion, which is being organized by approximately 100 of the University the Union students working on committees, will feature several groups with a "national reputa­ tion." "We'll also have armadillo races, face painting, Laser Tag and a mur­ der mystery game,' she said. The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, for the first time this year, will the hosting a convo­ cation. Ronald Brown, vice president for Student Affairs, said he hopes the convocation will help "to foster a spirit of community" with the in­ coming freshmen class. Brown said bringing a large num ­ ber of freshmen together in one place for a ceremonial beginning should help unify the class and help the students have friends and com­ mon goals. Imagine...

We're not talking big bucks, but some quick cash and prestige — say maybe $15 dollars and a byline? Not an unrealistic goal consider­ ing the wealth of publishing oppor­ tunities here at the University for all interested writers, even previously unpublished ones. The only writing prerequisites for the University-associated any of publications are enthusiasm and a knack for constructing paragraphs. For those easily kindled by pas­ sionate political heat generated at rallies or protests or who enjoy en­ gaging in vehement ideological ar­ gument, Polis provides a written fo­ rum in which the student activist can express his opinion. Funded by the Student Associa­ tion, Polis is a non-partisan political magazine that prints essays of any viewpoint.

"W e use around a hundred freelance writers for all the writing you see in Cactus,” Thompson said.

The bi-annual creative writing jour­ nal chooses only the very best short stories and poetry for each issue from undergraduates and graduates alike. Though not restricted to Eng­ lish majors, Analecta retains a liter­ ary profile that elicits English talent from all com ers of campus. Like the English department, many departments and/or their col­ lege publish stu dent-op erated newsletters, offering a "feet-w et" opportunity for students to earn a byline. Bulletin boards outside these de­ partments constantly post notices from inquiring publications that are looking for students' works or of the latest writing contests, both often awarding monetary prizes ranging from $15 to $250. For those keen on writing music, art, club, and book reviews, Images, the weekly arts and entertainment supplement to The Daily Texan, is the perfect place to submit this genre of articles.

The Texas Union has been serving the needs of students for well over fifty years. That task has required the help of thousands of part-time student employees. Over the years we’ve learned what students value in a job. First of all you want an employer who remembers that you’re a student first, an employee second. Most off- campus jobs aren’t too sympathetic to that issue. Second, you want flexible work schedules that won’t conflict with classes. Proximity to campus is impor­ tant because working and going to school is hectic enough without throw­ ing in extra commuting time. You also want to know that you can go away for the summer and have a job waiting for you when school starts again. Like workers everywhere, you want a job with opportunities for growth and advancement. You want to work where interesting things happen. Whether it’s a new band at The Texas Tavern, or a free movie preview at The Union The­ atre, you’ll be among the first to know. And you want to work with other students — people who share your commitment to a good education. It’s no accident that we’ve just described a job at The Texas Union. We’re committed to students; as our customers; as our employees; as our teachers. We know what students want in a part-time job, because we listen to the experts. If we’ve learned some things that could be of value to you, come by The Texas Union and apply. We are cur­ rently filling part-time positions for Fall 1988. Applications are being accepted from 9:00 a.m. -11:00 a.m. at The Texas Union Personnel Office, Room 4.410. Don’t call us — we want to meet you in person. We will set up an interview with supervisors who have jobs open for fall. If one of our positions fills your needs, you’ll have a job waiting for you. Please bring proof of eligibility to work (passport or social security card or valid birth certificate and valid driver’s license or UTID).

Page 20C/THE DAILY TEXAN/August 1988 Political activism¡ Free speech areas allow students to voice opinions: By CmNs TMn Standing on the grassy West Mall of the UT campus, adamant, long­ haired, barefoot political activists screamed at the UT Board of Re­ gents in protest to the Vietnam War. The Regents, being down-home Southern boys, had cement poured over the West Mall and planters put down in the center to keep the radi­ the cal students out. But planters and cement, political stu­ dent activism is still here at the Uni­ versity although it is restricted to certain hours and certain places. like The University's free speech areas include: ■ The easternmost area of the West Mall adjacent to the Main Building, which can be reserved from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and af­ ter 5 p.m. Sound equipment must have prior approval. ■ The flagstone area between the Texas Union and the Under­ graduate Library, which can be re­ served only after 5 p.m. or with pri­ or approval. ■ The grassy area south of the East Mall fountain and east of Rus­ sell A. Steindam Hall may be re­ served for any time. Sound equip­ ment also requires approval. Although students do not have free speech at all times on campus, there are areas that can be requested for temporary structures, which stand at all times expressing stu­ dents' opinions. One build: ig that has dominated the West Mall area is the shanty. Entering its third year of existence, the shanty, built with rotting wood and spray-painted with messages, symbolizes anti-apartheid feelings against South Africa. Democracy in Academia, a stu­ dent political organization, erected the building in order to remind stu­ dents as they pass through the busi­ est spot on campus that the Univer­ the sity m u st consequences of being involved in South African businesses. co n sid er The first year it underwent many hardships. It was burned down, bulldozed, run-over, pushed over, petitioned against, and even fixed up with a dog house and toilet. "Aesthetically displeasing" was the main reason that most organiza­ tions, like the Young Conservative of Texas, voiced opinions against it. The YCT's fruitless efforts included a petition forcing DIA to remove the shanty from the mall and several rallies playing down the usefulness, if not the legality, of the structure. Many people became involved in the controversy but the free speech area and the shanty remained. Although almost never caught, vandals did try to destroy the shan­ ty. It was burned down more than 20 times during the course of two years. Money was even made from the shanty controversy. Several stu­ dents began to sell T-shirts with the slogan shanty" the scrawled across the front. "Bulldoze DIA members, due to the violent treatment their building received, became so protective of their politi­ cal rights that 9ome wanted to carry guns to prevent vandals from defac­ ing their property. This was met with disgruntled replies and the DIA dropped the request. Last year, however, the "shanty craze" calmed down but did not dis­ appear. For example, the University Li­ bertarians erected a structure, satiri­ cally imitating the shanty, named it the hovel and placed it beside the shanty. The purpose of the hovel was to remind students of Soviet oppression. The shanty, although it has been through some rough times, remains a symbol of student protest on the West Mall DIA members say it will stay there until the policy towards apartheid changes.

The Cabinet of College Councils is a student organization that is made up of a network of individual councils in each college. Students involved in a particular council dis­ cuss academic issues with the dean of that college. The Texas Union also provides student committees that organize and execute functions sponsored by the union. At the beginning of every semes­ ter, the union offers an orientation period where new students can learn how to get involved in its 15 different committees. A range of events — such as lec­ tures, arts and crafts sales, and ath­ letic events — are planned by the 11 programing committees. Students also can help manage the Texas Union building and din­ ing facilities or organize union pub­ lic relations through one of the un­ ion's four operational committees.

All it takes is a second for someone to grab a purse. Police urge students to report sus­ picious activities or suspicious per­ sons they see in campus areas where thefts may occur. b Personal safety It can be a lonely walk from the library to a dorm or bus stop, espe­ cially at night when campus is near deserted. But fear of the worst can be over­ come if students use common sense and follow pratical safety guide­ lines. The most obvious yet neglected safety precaution is never to walk alone. It doesn't matter how big, strong or fast you are because there's al­ ways someone bigger, stronger and faster. Play it safe, travel in pairs or groups. And if you must walk alone, avoid the obvious high crime areas: Dark alleys, narrow walkways, de­ serted streets. Use common sense, stay in bright, populated areas. The University provides several security features for those who find themselves traveling the campus. Beyond the steady stream of pa­ trol cars cruising the streets and the officers who are on walking beats, the University has installed a num ­ ber of phones around campus that directly tie into the police. The phones are easy to spot. They have blue lights mounted on top. In addition, UT police provide a a van service that operates daily from dusk until 2 a.m. during the fall and spring semesters. Students are also in the protection business. In the spring of 1982, a group of students working under the Stu­ dents' Association banded together and formed S.U.R.E. — Students United for Rape Prevention. The organization operates in the evening out of the larger libraries. Members walk with students to des­ tinations on and off the campus. t fe By Di. McCvtty • For new students, life at the Uni­ versity can be a frightful experience. The dread of the first day, the worry of missing a test or not study­ ing for one, weighs heavily on the minds of newcomers. And with this dread and worry, new students often forget the sim­ ple: locking up a bicycle, putting books in a safe place and finding a safe place to walk around campus. But with a few, simple pointers, these fears can easily be put to rest. registration ■ Bicycle Theft .The UT Police Department runs a bicycle every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front of Gregory Gymnasium. This is a must for any student with a bike, especially for those who live on campus. table Registration takes five minutes. If a stolen bike is registered, police can locate the owner when it is recov­ ered. UT police have registered nearly 8,000 bicycles since the program be­ gan, but officers have estimated that an equal number of unregistered bikes are ridden on campus. According to UT parking regula­ tions, "Bicylces operated or parked on the main campus shall be regis­ tered with the University Police De­ partment." Technically, people with unregis­ tered bikes on campus can be ticket­ ed, prompting police to strongly recommend that bicycle owners reg­ ister. When a bike is registered, the owner's driver's license number is stamped directly into the sprocket of the bike. A description of the bike, along with the driver's license number, is entered into a computer data base. That way, an owner can be contacted immediately if a bike is found. A little common sense can pre­ vent a stolen bike, registered or not. Instead of using simple cable locks that are easily cut, students should lock their bikes with the newer Kryptonite U-shaped locks. Make sure you register your bike with the University poftce. e Protecting valuables With the advent of a new school year, students will hit local book stores in droves to buy textbooks and other necessities for life at the University. While students cruise the stores and hunt for bargains, others will watch and wait for a chance to swipe that abandoned set of books left in the comer. The best advice is simply this: Keep an eye on all personal belong­ ings. Libraries remain the prime area for book theft, and to fight this, UT police officers keep guard at library doors and patrol the buildings. Police suggest that students label belongings to discourage theft and increase the chance of recovering stolen items. S tudents their names in books and even on the border of the pages. This does not decrease the book's value but pro­ tects property. should print Officers also suggest that stu­ dents lock up any valuable proper- BODY WEAR FO R • DANCE-EXERCISE-FITNESS-FUN • Ftexatard, BarysMkov, Marika, Danskin, and more • Capezio jazz&balet shoes Conveniently tocetednoercempusb HIGHLAND UALL upper level between Foley’s A the Food Court 454-5494 6001 Airport Blvd. Students Need Bargains Too! Write Continued from page 18C Images depends entirely on such freelance material to fill its copious space and pays anywhere from $20 to $70 per story. The Daily Texan itself gives plenty of paid opportunities for students who want to freelance or actually become a part of the staff. Daily Tex­ an editor Mike Godwin touts the newspaper as "the only publication on campus where you can get feed­ back the following day on what you Lessons Continued from page 8C inclined, here are some UT "Believe It or Nots": In 1985 more than 2,000 students marched on the Texas State Capitol to protest the tripling of tuition. (This was the largest stu­ dent protest since 1970.) The Legis­ lature said the state was raising tui­ tion because it needed more money (thus confusing "tuition" with "tax­ ation") and raised the rates in spite of students concerns. Remember that as you trudge to the financial aid office for your loans. In the spring of 1987 more than 200 people were arrested for sitting on the steps on the South Mall of the UT tower. They were protesting T he D a ily TEXAN/August 1988/Page 21 c write." Godwin said that there are nu­ merous openings on the staff at the beginning of each semester. "We need people in every department, from hard news to editorials, to en­ tertainment and sports," he said. Godwin also said he encourages staff members to learn as much as they can about every aspect of the newspaper's operations. "The more you know about editing and pro­ duction, the more marketable you'll be if you later look for a job in pro­ fessional journalism," he said. Writing for dollars is a realistic possibility. So take out your old short stories, poems and articles or just bring your ideas and writing skill and come write for a publica­ tion. Remember, they're awaiting your work. investments that do business in the University's companies in South Africa. But they were arrest­ ed for committing acts of free speech outside of the designated free speech area. And this year graduate student teaching assistants and assistant in­ structors, who have more effect on undergraduate education than most professors, will receive a salary sti­ pend to help pay for insurance. While this may not seem like a big deal to new undergraduates, it is ex-' tremely important to the AIs and TAs. The salary supplements will only run through the 1988-89 school year so you can expect some fire­ works on this issue as the grad stu­ dents and administration to work out a permanent solution. try All in all, the University has great facilities and people. Almost every­ one finds his niche eventually, and much of the time it is far from Les Amis, Abel's or the football games. The best advice I could give to any new student remember: "Give 'em hell, give 'em hell, make 'em eat shit!" Hook 'em. just is Nathan Dudley is a Latin American Studies graduate who graduated.

They told you about the Tower, they told you about the Perry-Castaneda Li­ brary (PCL — hang around Univer­ sity and you learn to talk in acro­ nyms pretty quick), and they told you fairly ridiculous things about the horses in Littlefield Fountain. However, there are a few places on campus thev probably did not tell you about at orientation. So here is a rundown on the really import­ ant places on campus. in 1. Texas Union Building. Go in the front door, the one up the steps by West Mall. The room you are is called the Presidential now Lobby. Now turn and face the way you just came in. To the right of the steps, just above the doorway, is a wood-carved face marked "H . P. is about the only Rainey." This place on campus you'll see this name, even though he was one of the most important presidents in UT history. Homer Price Rainey occupied the president's office from 1939 to 1944, when the Board of Regents voted 6- 2 to fire Rainey after he spoke out against what he called the regents' "oppressive m easures," such as the firing of faculty members for hold­ ing incorrect political viewpoints and the banning of U.S.A. by John Dos Passos from the English-course reading list. Reaction to his firing was immedi­ ate and widespread. The University was blacklisted by the American As­ sociation of University Professors, students held a funeral with a coffin marked "Academic Freedom ," and editors and politicians across the country blasted the regents for the decision. After an unsuccessful bid for gov­ ernor in 1946, Rainey moved to Col­ orado where he died in 1985 after a protracted illness. 2. West Mall. This is the main "free speech area" on campus. This is also a good place to avoid around lunchtime, when the leafletmeisters meet to argue and convert the entire University to their cause, unless you are someone who really enjoys broadening your political horizons. Even then, anything more than a limited dose is definitely contraindi­ cated. 3. Undergraduate Library. Actu­ ally the building as a whole is called the Flawn Academic Center, after Peter T. Flawn, William Cunning­ ham's predecessor the presi­ dent's office. Semantics aside, the fourth floor of this building holds some hidden treasures. My person­ in al favorite is the reconstructed study of Erie Stanley Gardner, the creator of Perry Mason. This display in­ cludes a plaque awarded to Gardner for his 100 millionth book sold and various awards for the television se­ ries (sadly, however, no Emmy). Truly the man was phenomenal. 4. Jefferson Davis statue. About four feet to the right of this South Mall statue, viewed from the front, is a largish pock mark at the bottom of the railing. This may not seem like much, but it too is a part of UT history, one many people would rather forget. You are now standing at about the place where Austin police offi­ cer Billy Speed was killed by the Tower sniper, Charles Whitman, on August 1, 1966. Whitman shot twice at Speed before hitting him, one of those bullets producing the hole you're now looking at. Sixteen peo­ ple were killed and 31 injured that day in what was, at the time, the worst mass murder in American history. 5. George Washington statue, on the South Mall. When viewed from the correct angle (from the curb near Batts Hall), this statue, "erected by the Texas Society, Daughters of the American Revolution," looks like it's...w ell...oh, never mind. 6. James Stephen Hogg statue, between Batts and Mezes Halls. ]j« LLInii I IS Sj§¡ ililroSgásfjfi S* i p nEBHHStf f University Market Facts... 77% of all students of the university have a car in Austin Source The University Market BeWen Associates 198 7 l i l i G IF F with th e P urch ase cf an y Ladies L ectard (Up to a $14.00 value!)

This is the world's largest co-ed dormito­ ry, named after the man who de­ feated Homer Rainey in 1946 to be­ come governor of Texas. Figures. Across from Jester is the Perry-Cas­ taneda Library, which does not look like the state of Texas from above, whatever anybody else may tell you. 8. Waller Creek. This spot, by the F. Loren Winship Drama Building is one of several good spots along the creek to relax, watch the water flow, and basically get away from it all, or at least as far away as you can get from it all while staying on campus. 9. Bates Recital Hall, home of the monster Visser-Rowland tracker or­ gan, largest of its kind at the time it was built. The instrument is 38 feet tall, with more than 5,000 pipes. Each Halloween for the past couple of years, the organ's unofficial keep­ er, associate professor of organ Frank Speller, has performed the music for a showing of the classic silent Lon Chaney film, Phantom of the Opera. I highly recommend the experience. 10. Texas Memorial Museum. One of the University's most under­ rated attractions; many students seem to be unaware of its existence. With exhibits ranging from Navaho art to natural science (including the 30-foot mosasaur fossil at the front door), this is a place you need to visit at least once, so you can say you have been there. 11. Service Building. If you bring a car to campus, you will probably get to know this building: this is where parking permits are sold — and parking tickets are paid. Ac­ cording to the October 1987 issue of Utmost magazine, 31 "C " permits were sold for every " C " parking space. I myself have spent an hour or more trying to find a legal place to park that was within walking dis­ tance of where I wanted to go. Of course, vou could alwavs take the bus.

There these mysterious are several of buildings around campus. Mysteri­ ous until now, that is. Okay, maybe you figured it out fairly easily, or (more likely) you really don't give a damn. Central Water Chilling Sta­ tions (drum roll) chill water, which is then used for air conditioning all over campus. Economies of scale, and all that. Great, huh? 13. Welch Hall. The sometimes defiant attitude of the administra­ tion and regents shows itself in the plaque at the Speedway entrance to this building, proudly proclaiming Robert A . Welch a "capitalist," at a time (the early '70s) when that was a bad word. Helpful hint: this is WEL. The building behind it, just north of the Computation Center (that is to say, the East Mall steps), is William C. Hogg, or WCH. This is a source of endless confusion, especially on the first day of classes. That completes the "Unofficial 40 Acres Tour."

"We want to lobby for issues that affect all students," said Joe Sawin, co-director of TSL. The group was created several years ago to lobby before the Texas Legislature for the interests of stu­ dents in public colleges. What began as an organization that merely "informed" legislators on student issues like tuition con­ cerns and landlord-tenant relations, has developed lobbying group capable of affecting legisla­ tion on a wide range of issues. into a Sawin said TSL now represents the interests of the Texas Student Coalition, a group last spring with the participation of 25 public colleges across the state in­ cluding the University. formed The coalition has drafted a legisla­ tive agenda for the upcoming 71st session of the Texas Legislature, which sets policies on tuition, finan­ cial aid and student services fees. In the area of tuition, the policy that TSL will be lobbying for is "no further increases in tuition rates u n ­ til a review of the effects of House Bill 1147 ... is assessed and evaluat­ ed ." House Bill 1147 is a m easure that will increase tuition by 600 percent by 1996. "W e are just concerned that re­ cently students have had to quit studying to go to work," Sawin said. He said that another goal for TSL HVfl are Just encarnad n t recently stun nts It re it d to suit study­ ing to go to work.' — Joe Sawin, co­ nnector of T8L in the next legislative session will be lobbying for w ork-study programs. "W e would like to see a Texas w ork-study program ," he said. "I think it's som ething we can realisti­ cally pass in the next session." O ther items in the agenda are: ■ To ensure that the setting of tui­ tion rates rem ains in the hands of the Legislature. ■ To revise the funding of state grant program s to recognize stu ­ dents on the basis of need. Sawin said the group will be b u ­ sier than ever in the upcom ing year. "O ur workload has increased d ra­ matically," he said. "As soon as the fall begins, we'll be going full steam ah ead ." Sawin said he sees increasing po­ litical pow er for college students in Texas in the next few years. He said the state has some 750,(XX) college students. "That is a really powerful stud en t bloc, and if we organize, we can affect legisla­ tion much easier," Sawin said. Saw in said the group has about 30 m em bers and any student who is interested is in getting welcome to join. "W e need as m any people as possible," he said. involved To become a m em ber of TSL a student m ust contact the C am pus Activities Office.

Texas — the jewel in the electoral college crown With 29 electoral votes, Texas is the key to the Michael Dukakis- George Bush race. Because it is both a Southern and a Western state, winning Texas is tough — and strong appeal in Texas indicates appeal in other states. It is the greatest test for a national candi­ date. Texas voters are diverse — but traditionally a conservative image with a dash of libertarianism and/or populism will take an election. So Gov. Michael Dukakis — a bit too liberal for traditional Texas — picked a Texan, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, to neutralize Vice President George Bush's claim to the state, and per­ haps President Reagan's popularity. Bush and the 'Veep's Syndrome' This fall's election may finally determine carpet-bag-carrying yankees can ever really become Tex­ ans. if Bush might convince Texans he is one of them, but he could never convince the University he should pay in-state tuition. He owns a home in Maine, resides in Washing­ ton, D .C., and only votes in Texas. His registration address is a hotel room in the Houstonian, a posh Houston hold. Bush is a Yankee who made him­ self rich and powerful in Texas. He was bom in Massachussets and in Connecticut, grew up from where his father served as a U.S. senator. He graduated from Yale with a B. A. in economics in 1948. Anxious to forge his own reputa­ tion, he went to Texas and founded, owned, and ran the Zapata Petrole­ um Corporation in the 1950s. Politics and public service were in his blood, so he served as a con­ gressman from Houston from 1967 until 1971, and lost a 1970 race for U.S. Senate — to Bentsen. After the loss he went on to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Bush later patched up the post-Watergate Republican party as chairman f the Republican Nation­ al Committee, from 1973 to 1974. He was the chief liaison officer to the People's Republic of China from 1974 to 1975. His reputation within the party — not to mention his resume — prompted him to run for president in 1980. Bush placed second in delegates to Reagan in the 1980 primary marathon. Reagan considered a list of potential running mates that in­ cluded former President Gerald Ford, but picked Bush — the Wash­ ington insider with favorite-son contacts in at least three states. Washington outsider presidents — like jimmy Carter and Dwight Ei­ senhower — like to pick insiders for vice presidents to lubricate both transition and legislation. And he helped do both over his eight-year stint. As vice president, Bush has the advantages of a popular president behind him, a high public profile, and an expanding economy. He is in a similar situation to Richard Nixon in 1960, and a better position than Hubert Humphrey was in in 1968. Both lost dose elec­ tions. Nixon, Humphrey, and Bush were all elected vice president in a landslide election four years before their own bids. All served loyally under popular and powerful presidents (although Lyndon Johnson was very unpopu­ lar by the time the 1968 election geared up). All three were trying to extend their party's control of the White House from eight to 12 years. from "Veep's Syndrome," a rare disease that makes one's political face break out in welts of issue confusion. three suffered And all When about half — but not neces­ sarily more than half — of the vot- ing population is happy with the previous administration, a veep must try to grasp victory by appeal­ ing to more people — "sw ing" vot­ ers — without losing the loyal. For instance, if he/she offers an expanded food-stamp program to gamer some low-income, labor, or minority support, he risks alienat­ ing middle-class voters who resent their tax money going to people who do not work for it. Or, in Humphrey's case, he tried to seem cautiously critical of the Vietnam War to pacify pacifists, but tried not to lose his traditional anti­ communist middle-class votes. He did. Nixon got them and won a close race in 1968. criticisms In 1960, Nixon had to answer John Kennedy's that American defense was outdated and ill-prepared to battle commu­ nism. To do this, he had to depart Sm Btction, p i 1 3D 44This year Til get organized?’ m m m m ,. mm V W N W W ' i f l v ' v y H 1: w M i M H •V«SS: W >% • -SSi-: >;&*:- • - . $ > ! r ií!i É iw ^ i m m i § » j i é i i mmm i X w : - > .:sy : % w s v ^ : .

I I CutII Continuad from page to from some of President Eisenhow­ er's stands. But most of all, Kennedy offered America something new, yet safe. Bush's problem is appealing to those who feel left out of the Reagan revolution. His opponent is picking away at eight years of rust on the armor of Reaganomics. Yet he cannot afford to appear to pander to interest groups — middle America hates that. It's a sure sign of a desperate candidate. Like Nixon, Bush is facing a Man- sachussets liberal who does not seem to threaten middle America, yet offers change. Bush has one great advantage Nixon lacked: Reagan will do for Bush what Eisenhower failed to do for Nixon — stump, speak and sweat. But like Nixon, Bush must fight against a Texan to win Texas. Bentsen and the double-dip Bentsen is an aristocratic conserv­ ative Texas Democrat — one of the last, since John Connally is no long­ er a Democrat ... and probably not considered an aristocrat because he's broke. Bentsen is in a rare position — he's running both a national cam­ paign against the Republican ticket and a Senate race against U.S. Rep. Beau Boulter, R-Amarillo. This is because of a 1959 state law known as the "LB] law." When Johnson ran for the Demo­ cratic nomination against Kennedy, Humphrey, and others in 1959-60, he did so only speculatively, so he wanted to retain his Senate majority leader post in case he lost. He got his buddies in the Legislature to help him. When he was elected vice presi­ dent in 1960, 70 candidates — al­ most all of them Democrats — lined up for the special election. But a Re­ publican — John Tower — snuck past the pack and won. Bentsen is in a similar position. The senior senator from Texas is one of the most powerful people in Washington as chairman of the Sen­ ate Finance Committee. His years of service in both gov­ ernment and business have forged great relationships he's not willing to forsake for a gamble on the vice presidency. And he's not willing to forsake his seat to a Republican. If he pulled out of the Senate race, Boulter would win an uncontested race and Texas would have two Republican senators with seniority. Bentsen knows how much seniority counts when states compete for fed­ eral resources. little Bentsen's quest for seniority and influence began when he served as a congressman from Mission from 1948 to 1954. He quit the House to get richer (he was already rich) as president of Lincoln Consolidated in Houston. In 1970, he was drafted by con­ servative Democrats — on the de­ fensive even then — to oust liberal Sen. Ralph Yarborough and battle Bush. Yarborough, the father of the lib­ eral-populist wing of the modem Texas Democratic Party, was no match for the dapper, well-funded banker who carried substantial Hispanic support. This was the last great liberal-con­ servative battle the conservatives won in the Texas Democratic party. The Texas Democratic party is now firmly in control of the liberals. And the Texas Republican party is now firm — something it wasn't when Bush needed it in 1970. But in 1970, presented with a choice of a rich, urbane conservative Democrat, and a rich, urbane, mod­ erate Republican (Bush was still a moderate back then — in fact, he angered many conservative Texans by pushing civil rights legislation), Texans let the Civil War punch the ballot for Bentsen. A yankee liberal thinks he can win Texas? Dukakis is trying to do something no Democratic presidential candi­ date — not even Kennedy — has T h e D a ily TEXAN/August 1988/Page 30 ever done: win Texas as a two-party state. President Carter won it in 1976. But the Democratic Party was broad enough for Sen. Phil Gramm to run against Bentsen in the Democratic primary — from the right. Texas was a one-and-a-half party state in 1976. Since then, Texas has elected a Republican governor twice, come close to having a Hispanic Republi­ can attorney general (Roy Barrera of San Antonio), and has gone Repub­ lican in both presidential races. Of course Dukakis is counting on more than Bentsen to paint Texas blue on NBC's election-night map. His organization chose Texas Treasurer Ann Richards to give the keynote address in Atlanta in July, and he plans to stop frequently in Texas to rally his troops — which include a large number of Hispanics and moderate Democrats. Dukakis is trying his best to seem moderate enough for the Texas palet — but liberal enough to rally his party around his vision of Amer­ ica. And he certainly cannot afford to take Texas for granted. Kennedy — even with Johnson on the ticket and dead people vot­ ing for him in South Texas — won the solidly Democratic state by only 46,233 out of over 2 million votes.

You can see it in his arms and legs. He’ll probably be faster, too. But, over the course of the last year, Jeffrey, des­ pite that healthy body, managed to bang him­ self around pretty well. He crashed his skate­ board into a mailbox. He got hit in the eye with a baseball. He slammed the thumb of his throw­ ing hand in the car door. Then, he chipped a bone in his wrist playing capture the flag; sat down in a dump of poison ivy on a school picnic. (That was after he got stung by a bee earlier in the day). And naturally, he even got the flu once last winter. My wife brought up health plans over a year ago. Did I listen?—of course not. But, I have to give her credit, because she kept trying.

The Renaissance Market, located outside at 23rd and Guadalupe streets, offers students and tourists everything from paintings, jewelry and tie-dye, to stained-glass, leath- erwork and hammocks. Everything on sale is made and sold by the art­ ists. "Sixty to 70 percent of the stuff sold here is made on site," said Ker- mit Blue, an artist at the market. Blue sells his own tie-dye shirts and hammocks and his wife's friendship bracelets. Blue said his tie-dye shirts are the most popular item. "Tie-dye has gotten past the fad stage and now it's an accepted fash­ ion," he said. Blue says he tries to match the colors found in nature when mak­ ing his shirts. "It's the color that's selling; people want bright colors," he said. Although other artists sell tie-dye at the market, Blue said no competi­ tion exists because of the wide vari­ ety in people's styles. Carol Leo, who sells the jewelry she makes at the market, said she mines her own crystals to use in pendants. "What I'm most proud of is the wide variety of minerals and stones I use in my jewelry," she said. Leo said she stays with classic de­ signs that students can buy for their mothers and also wear themselves. "I think you'll find better quality at the market than you will at the store," she said. T S P Staff Photo The Renaissance Market offers students original handmade crafts, such as these earrings and necklaces. Prices are set at the market with a student's budget in mind. Blue said he does not sell any T-shirt for more than $10. David Gray, a jewelry maker, sells leather and silver bracelets for $5. Kenneth Sable, another artist, sells his hand-painted earrings for $4 to $10. Saturday is the day when stu­ dents can expect to see the most art­ work at the market, with about 40 artists displaying their work, said Walter Falk, an artist. Falk has sold more than 10,000 of his watercolors during the 17 years he has exhibited his work along the dra8 "Some students should consider getting licenses," he said. "All citi­ zens have a chance to be artists as well as look at art." A license can be obtained from the city of Austin for $75 a year. "The market is totally self-support­ ing with license fees," Falk said. Students and tourists at the mar­ ket can shop, sit under the trees, admire the flowers or stop by for a drink at the water fountain. The flowers and trees growing along the sides of the market are maintained by the artists, Falk said. "This is a nice market. It's a fami­ ly atmosphere," Leo said.

What is a Pharmaco? Pharm aco is a pharm aceutical research firm based in Austin. We conduct evalu­ ations of newly-developed medications, col­ lecting data on a product's effectiveness and safety for presentation to the U.S. Food and Drug Adm inistration. We have ongoing studies for healthy, non-sm oking m ales as well as for people with physical conditions requiring treatm ent, such as athlete's foot. Safety first. All of the studies we do here at Pharmaco arc first reviewed by an independent board of doctors, nurses, pharm acologists, law­ yers and clergymen. This group m ust find th at the rights and welfare of participants will be adequately protected, and that their health will not be endangered. Pharm aco’s own staff of physicians, pharm acologists, n u rses and other research professionals closely m onitor study participants during their stay in our facility, and are always available to patients should they require any follow-up. J u st like hom e. Well, alm ost... The evaluations we do that require healthy, non-sm oking men are called Phase I stu d ­ ies. For these, participants check into our m odem dormitory-style facility for over­ night stays ranging from periods of 36 hours to one m onth. All of our participants are paid, with the financial com pensation averaging $150 for each 48 hour stay. During their stay here, volunteers can en ­ tertain them selves playing pool, horse shoes, video games, board gam es or w atch­ ing a movie from our video library. Since m any of our participants are stu dents, our large study lounge gets a lot of use. Meals, housing, and activities are always provided free-of-charge to participants. You might say it's ju s t like home. Well, almost. It's a no bill situation. Pharm aco also has outpatient studies for people with physical and emotional condi­ tions requiring treatm ent. After an exam ina­ tion by one of our staff doctors, physician's a ssistan ts or nurse practitioners to deter­ mine w hether you meet the criteria for a study, patients will receive free medical con­ sultation, physical exams, laboratory tests, m edication and a financial incentive.

(Source The University Market Belden Associates. 1987) By Garry Lsaval If diverse personalities are a desir­ able trait in a government's leaders, then the Austin City Council is a well representative body. This is not to say the council is necessarily well representative of the city as a whole. Because all sev­ en council positions, including the mayor, are at-large, elected city- wide, some minority groups say the council is unfairly weighted toward the northern and western middle- class sections of the city. Traditionally, two places on the council have been reserved as black and Hispanic seats. A referendum on the single-member district issue was defeated in May but is expected to be raised again. With the city facing its toughest budget crunch ever, the council charged with the responsibility of resuscitating the city's failing econo­ my will be under tremendous scru­ tiny. Mayor Lee Cooke Cooke defeated incumbent Frank Cooksey in a May runoff to gain the mayor's seat and return to the coun­ cil he sat on from 1977 to 1981. A former president of the Cham­ ber of Commerce, Cooke pledged in his campaign to cut city jobs rather than raise taxes and he has stuck to that position, even in the face of lay­ ing off 300 city workers. to more The mayor said he took his door- than to-door campaign 20,000 homes and he has tried to foster a responsive impression by delivering Austin's first-ever “state of the city'' address. Projecting a better public persona than his predecessor, Cooke has also tried to keep a tight rein on the council's often infamously intermin­ able meetings. Whatever success he has had in building positive public relations will be severely tested, though, as he attempts to maneuver the city through its confining financial stra­ its. Robert Barnstone Bamstone's first six weeks on the council were akin to a kid taking his first leap from the high dive — Ker- splash! Succeeding longtime council- member and Mayor Pro Tem John Trevino, Barnstone encountered some difficulty during the campaign as he vied for traditionally Hispanic seat with an English sur­ name. But local developer, who grew up in Laredo, pointed out his mother was Mexican and attracted the the TWA GET A WA Y® STUDENT DISCOUNT GET 10% OFF WHEREVER YOU GO EXCLUSIVELY FOR FULL-TIME STUDENTS (AGES 16-26 YEARS OLD) TWA WANTS TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE BEST FARES IN THE AIR TO 104 TWA DESTINATIONS IN THE U.S., EUROPE, AND THE MIDDLE EAST.

NAME ___ ADDRESS__________________________________________ enough support citywide to offset any damage in the Hispanic com­ munity. After striking the campaign's best remembered motto, “Austin spends too much, owes too much, and tax­ es too m uch/' Barnstone set out to do something about it when he took office in mid-June. Leading the movement to cut costs in the construction of the new airport and civic center, Barnstone also went after smaller fish such as a $350,000 audit of the electric utility and a program to provide low inter­ est energy-improvement loans for consumers' homes. Ironically, though, Bamstone's own development business has not been immune from the same eco­ nomic setbacks which have befallen the city. A Laredo bank has sued him for default on more than $2.5 million in loans for development projects in Austin. Barnstone has filed a gener­ al denial of the charges. Smoot Carl-Mitchell After winning a second term in May, Carl-Mitchell has been the staunchest opponent of substantial cutbacks in city services in order to balance the budget. Carl-Mitchell favors a property tax increase to alleviate the shortfall in property tax revenues caused by lower appraisals. Sitting at the opposite end of the budget spectrum from Barnstone, Carl-Mitchell has taken some verbal heat from the new councilmember for his refusal to cut spending. With Carl-Mitchell out of town in early July, Barnstone successfully sought the suspension of the previ­ ously mentioned energy loan pro­ gram. However, buoyed by a strong show of public support, Carl-Mitch­ ell persuaded the council to rein­ the program when he re­ state turned. George Humphrey A councilmember since 1985, Humphrey seems to have found in Barnstone a friend for his cutting crusades. Usually at the vocal forefront of most issues, Humphrey has been on the winning side of most key votes in the summer. His objection to the firm hired as project manager for the new airport failed to draw enough support but with the low allotment of federal funds, he may soon be humming a tune of “I told you so." Max Nofziger Nofziger represents the oddity of Austin politics — a former street comer flower salesman whose per­ severance paid off with his election to the council in 1987. n o ted e n v iro n m e n ta lis t, Nofziger serves a key function as a clean-living watchdog in a city where environmental issues are tak­ en much more seriously and given much more attention than in most. A to lead a Recently, he teamed with Hum ­ phrey revolt against against a trash bum waste disposal facility for which the city had al­ ready spent more than $20 million. Mayor Pro Tem Sally Shipman The only female councilmember, Shipman replaced John Trevino as mayor pro tem after Trevino decid­ ed not to run for re-election to the council. Although the mayor pro tem spot is ordinarily a ceremonial post, Shipman challenged Charles Urdy for the job when the new council was sworn in in June. After some last-minute backroom position shifting, Shipman emerged with a victorious 5-2 vote. Only Barnstone supported Urdy. Shipman, a councilmember since 1983, is an ardent backer of neigh­ borhood and park .preservation which fits well with the city's dean- living image. Charles Urdy As the council's longest-standing [since 19811 and only black member, Urdy would figure to project a greater influence than he does. But occasional absences from council meetings and a reserved posture at those meetings were cited by coundl-watchers when the Huston-Tillotson professor was de­ nied the mayor pro tem slot.

Before you get all excited and don your best duds and dos and join the melee, you should be aware of the many pitfalls. For example, if you are under 21, you will have to be satisfied in being a mere spectator, not one of the multitudinous revelers that jam- pack the clubs in the blocks between Congress and 1-35. Don't plunge too deeply into despondency though. There's plenty to keep you amused. The first thing you'll have to do is park. Unfortunately, it's not quite as easy as it sounds. You may end up spending half your evening just looking for a space. After you do fi­ nally find a spot, remember to lock your car. Take a bite out of crime. On the way to Sixth Street, be ready for the irksome wolf whistles and come-ons that you'll hear if you're female. If you're male, try to refrain from such adolescent and ir­ ritating behavior. Also be aware of the ever present police — Austin's Finest — who are always on the look out for drink- swilling minors. Austin law permits you to carry open containers of al­ coholic beverages, but the police have the right to ask for your identi­ fication at anytime. For the over 21 crowd, the variety and possibilities are myriad. If, on the other hand, you're a minor, you can always hang out outside of the bars, for free, and hear the. wide va­ riety of music offered by local and out-of-town bands. There are sever­ al clubs which do admit minors, but usually charge cover. For instance, Club Cairo; Liberty Lunch, Curfew, The Black Cat Lounge, and City Lights all allow the under 21 set.

Uoyd Bentsen it a 1942 UT School of Law i raduate and the Democratic nominee for vice president. TSP staff photo Tons of important dudes come from UT The University has been around for 105 years, and has had ample opportunity to catapult lead­ ers to national prominence. Two UT alumni currently run the fiscal policy and monetary flow of this nation. And they are not alone at the pinnacle. And many UT alumni hold influential and powerful positions in the United States government. It may be the eclecticity of Austin. It maybe the University's proximity to the power centers of Texas. It may just be that a big school is likely to turn out some big winners. Regardless of the reason, being a UT alumnus will not hurt one inside the Beltway. The most influential UT alumni right now are Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, U .S. Secretary of the Treas­ ury James Baker, and U.S. House Speaker Jim Wright. Bentsen, a Mission native and a 1942 UT School of Law graduate, is the Democratic nomi­ nee for vice-president. He is currently chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of the most powerful positions in Washington. On the Finance Committee, he has been able to guide tax legislation favorable to Texas oil and gas interests. And even if the Dukakis-Bentsen ticket loses in November, Bentsen is likely to retain his chairmanship because he is expected to win his Senate race against U .S. Rep. Beau Boulter, R- Amarillo, who got a B.A. at the University in 1965. Baker, who got a UT law degree in 1957, lost to a Baylor graduate, Mark White, in the 1978 race for Texas attorney general. But he returned with a vengeance to run Vice President George Bush's 1980 presidential campaign, advise Presi­ dent Reagan's 1980 campaign after Bush accept­ ed the second spot, and run the White House until 1985. But in 1985, he switched jobs with Donald Re­ gan and became secretary of the treasury. He immediately set about the task of reducing the U.S. trade deficit, which has reached record heights. Baker is about to quit his influential job to head up Bush's campaign again — after all, it worked for him once. And he has the inside track to be secretary of state if Bush wins. Baker and Bentsen determine much of the government's economic impact, but Wright, the highest-ranking Democrat in Washington, has even more power than they do. As speaker of the House, the Fort Worth Dem­ ocrat has a say about every major policy. He ap­ points the powerful committee chairs, and they owe him — if not their allegiance — their atten­ tion. Wright did not graduate from the University — World War II got in the way — but he was awarded the Distinguished Alumnus award in 1987 after assuming the speaker's post. And he gave the commencement address at the Main Mall in May 1987. One of Wright's closest friends and allies in congress is Austin's own U .S. Rep. J.J. "Jake" Pickle, a former Longhorn swimmer. Since 1964, this confidant of Lyndon Johnson has represented central Texas and has helped forge sweeping tax policy and Social Security legislation. Pickle — who earned a B.A. in 1938 — pol­ ished his political skills at the University when he ran former Gov. John Connally's campaign for Students' Association president — a post Pickle also held. Another of Johnson's friends, Connally was President John Kennedy's secretary of the Navy in 1961. But in 1962, he was elected governor of Texas. On Nov. 22, 1963, he was shot while riding in an open limousine in Dallas. He recovered. The president did not. Connally, a 1941 UT School of Law graduate, is broke now — but he ran the U.S. Treasury Department for President Richard Nixon. During his term in Nixon's cabinet, Connally angered Johnson by declaring himself a Republi- can. In 1980, Connally became the second UT alumnus to run for president. Bentsen was the first in 1976. They both ended their campaigns in defeat — unable to gather support nationwide. GUARANTEED BEST TEXTBOOK PRICES!

Take advantage of it, but remem­ ber: Where you take your parents is a strategic decision involving mood setting, cost, cuisine, and, in some cases, the guilt factor.

The Volunteer Center, a member of the United Way, is a referral ser­ vice available to students. The Vol­ unteer Center serves all of Travis County and much of the surround­ ing area. Marge Tripp, director of the Vol­ unteer Center, said although many people want to help others, “volun­ teering is a wonderful way to broad­ en career opportunities. “It's really an addition to your classwork to find out if you really want to d o" work in your major. The center handles 90 percent of referrals over the phone. Over 250 people are referred each month. Tripp said that student volunteers could have any major because as long as they want to donate time, the center will find something that interests them. The center will sponsor a volun­ teer fair Sept. 21 from 11:30 a.m. un­ til 1 p.m. at First City Centre, 816 Congress Ave. There will be more than 35 non-profit agencies repre­ sented at the fair, and a workshop will be held for groups who wish to learn how to organize their volun­ teer work. The Volunteer Center is located at 5828 Balcones Drive, Suite 205. Many volunteer positions are available in Austin health-care facili­ ties. Two that are close to campus are Brackenridge Hospital and Peo­ ple's Community Clinic. Brackenridge Hospital draws the greatest number of UT student vol­ unteers, said Vicki Scalf, volunteer coordinator of the UT Campus Ac­ tivities Office. The volunteers at the hospital in­ teract with patients, give directions to the public and do clerical duties in the administrative offices. Margie Monroe, assistant volun­ teer coordinator, said the hospital requests a semester commitment and at least four hours per week of service. The first job choice for most of the students, she said, is in the emer­ gency room, where they assist nurses and technicians with jobs ranging from preparing blood tests to changing linens. Jennifer Smedley, elementary ed­ ucation senior, is a two-year veteran volunteer at Brackenridge. She works in the Children's Hospital and the emergency room. “You have to want to do it be­ cause you'ré doing it for free," she said. ,;You should see the cards I've gotten from patients. You reap so many rewards." Brackenridge Hospital is at 601 E. 15th St. The People's Clinic of Austin of­ fers pre-natal, family-planning and general health-care services to the public on a sliding-scale based on ability to pay. Dee Dee Smith, director of the clinic, said that volunteers work in all divisions, including the lab, the office and admissions de$k. The clinic has a support staff of more than 90 volunteers. After applying, the volunteer is interviewed to see where he would do the best job. Smith encourages students with any major to apply. Training for specialized positions like lab assistant and exam room as­ sistant will begin in mid-October. Other positions have on-the-job training. A one-year commitment of 3-5 hours per week is asked of volun­ teers. The clinic is across the street from the University in the basement of the Congregational Church of Aus­ tin at 408 W. 23rd St. Other non-health volunteer op­ portunities are abound in Austin. include Capital Area Food They Bank, Extend-a-Care and Recording for the Blind. Capital Area Food Bank is a non­ profit agency that collects, sorts, boxes and distributes food to agen­ cies that dispense it. Volunteers are needed for every aspect of the operation, said Jill Manlove-Mayfield, community rela­ tions coordinator. “It's a really hands-on way to fight hunger," Manlove-Mayfield said. The food bank conducts two ma­ jor food drives a year, and many campus organizations volunteer to sort and distribute the food, but the agency needs volunteers year- round because “people are always hungry," she said. Manlove-Mayfield said that sort­ ing food is fun and also “a good way to get rid of stress." People and groups interested in volunteering should contact Barry Abels, the volunteer coordinator, at 448-2111. See Volunteer, page 18D Rock ’n’ rolling through Austin In Austin anything can happen. It is not unusual to see a man riding through the city on his rocker-cycle.' Doug Prose, the rider, is on a 2000- mile trip trying to absorb the people and the country along the way and incorporate his experience into songs. Allen Brook Time for fun Austin offers variety of inexpensive places for recreation By R n h M r g i Recreation is not hard to find in Austin. Money is really not an obstacle to finding something to do around here. And you can find stuff to do at almost any hour during the day. There are golf courses a-plenty, ranging from public courses with green fees of about $7.50 to the Onion Creek Country Club course, where the PGA Legends of Golf tournament is played every year. For less adventuresome golfers, there is a Putt-Putt course at 6700 Burnet Road, with fees of $2 for 18 holes. Another miniature course is Peter Pan Mini-Golf South at 1207 Barton Springs Road. The Peter Pan course is so named for the for­ est-green statue of Peter Pan that towers over the multi-leveled course, which is built into a hill. Fees there for 18 holes are $2.75. If you are more into Frisbee golf, there is a Fnsbee golf course set up in Bartholomew Park on East 51st Street, north of Robert Mueller Mu­ nicipal Airport. While you are there, you can watch jets take off and land from the airport's landing strips, if you are into that kind of thing, of course. Other outdoor spots for fun are Zilker Park, with a botanical garden, a miniature train, sports fields, picnic grounds and Barton Springs Pool. Town Lake, the Austin name for the Colorado River as it runs from the Tom Miller Dam to the Longhorn Dam, is bordered on its banks by Au­ ditorium Shores. There you can find a hike-bike trail, places to rent canoes and on occasion music festivals. For those with more sedate tastes, sunset watching can be a welcome diversion. The best sunset watching places are found in the hills west of town, with Mount Bonnell being one of the best. Mount Bonnell has a city park atop a 785-foot hill, one of the highest points in Austin. To the west is a glorious Central Texas sunset, and to the east is a panoramic view of Austin's postmo­ dern skyline, aglow with the last rays of the sinking sun. Best of all, it costs nothing to watch a sunset. Other free (or real cheap) diversions available in Austin include a daytime drive along scenic Ranch Road 2222. It's curving and twisting lanes traverse some of the sheerest cliffs in the area, and offer a beautiful view of the Colorado River. A tour of the Capitol Building is free, and will hold the interest of anyone who has not been there before. Another free tour does not even involve your leaving the campus. The Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, on the east side of campus, is filled with mementos of LBJ's presidential years as well as a history of the nation and the world during his term in office. First State Bank’s $5 Student Checking Account Is The Best Deal In Town. The service fee for UT students is just $5 a month for 20 checks with no minimum balance to open. It makes a short trip down the drag to First State Bank a good move for your money. Our PULSE CARD annual fee is $5, too. We are Austin-owned for 19 years — built by hometown people who still offer hometown service. If you’ re not banking with First State Bank, give it a second thought.

Important issues to challenge city councilmembers By Barry U m l In much of the 1970s and early '80s, Austin was a Texas boomtown without the seamy trappings — crime, traffic, choking pollution — that taint larger metropolises. Laid-back, with the roots of the smaller college town it once was, Austin enjoyed a comfortable sym­ biosis of relaxed small town and fast-paced big city. However, just like its larger coun­ terparts to the north and south, Austin is another chapter in the boom-to-bust saga of the mid-'80s. Now, smack in the middle of the economic downturn that has crip­ pled the entire state, Austin finds itself still straining to boom. Problem is, the city is busted. With plans in the works to build a new airport and civic center, the city's money tap has almost run dry. So Austin's City Council will spend this broiling central Texas summer trying to limit the number of city jobs and services it must cut to balance the budget. At the same time, city fathers are scrambling to locate funds for the airport and civic center. Cloud that entire scenario with the city's futile involvement in the South Texas Nuclear Project and the city government's economic forecast is not a sunny one. These were some of the problems that led Mayor Lee Cooke to make an extraordinary "state of the city" speech to Austin residents July 31. "We didn't get in this mess over­ night and we're not going to get out overnight," Cooke told the city. In other words, whether you're here for one year, four years, or six years, these issues will probably still be around, filling up the newspaper and television. Here's a synopsis: AIRPORT Pick a spot, any spot, in the Aus­ tin area and you're likely to hear the occasional plane go roaring over­ head. Robert Mueller Municipal Air­ port, sitting less than five miles from the University and downtown, is conveniently located but not big, quiet, or safe enough, according to the voters who last November chose to move it. The site of the new airport will be Manor, a small town about 10 min­ utes east of 1-35 off U.S. 290. De­ signed to handle a projected tre­ mendous influx of air passengers through Austin in the next 20 years, the facility is targeted for full opera­ tion in 1994 or 1995. But the city received a rude awak­ ening last month when the Federal Aviation Administration announced its funding participation in the $650 million project. After promising meetings with re­ gional and national FAA represent­ atives, administrator T. Allan McAr- tor came to Austin with the bad, or was it good, news. The government would contribute $50 million over five years to the project. However, that figure was only 15 percent of the $336 million city offi­ cials had asked for. City Aviation Director Timothy Ward said he hopes to receive more government funds before the air­ port's completion and championed the award as the largest the govern­ ment had ever pledged at the begin­ ning of an airport project. But that distinction has not pla­ cated councilmembers who now suggest a swap to acquire the land for the airport site and defer the cost of land acquisition. More on land swapping, later. to the If the swap route is not taken, most of the feds' initial $50 million will go land acquisition, which should be completed by 1990. Airport officials hope to attract the remainder of the needed funds from the sale or lease of Mueller and investments by entities who will use the airport such as airlines and rent­ al car agencies. Just in case, though, don't make plans to leave the University and fly off into the real world from the Manor airport. CIVIC CENTER With all those legions of air trav­ elers visiting the River City, what better destination than a convention at the city's sparkling new civic cen­ ter? Desperately needing to capitalize on the fistfuls of dollars, conven­ tioneers take to Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, the city set out to build a more attractive facility than stodgy Palmer Auditorium. Palmer and its successor do have one thing in common, though. Both would be located on Town Lake, otherwise known as the Colorado River, which bisects the city just south of downtown. In early June, the council ap­ proved a consultant's recommend­ ed site for the center. Referred to as Site C, the southwestern downtown location would encompass five city blocks, including the spots where the renowned music venue, Liberty Lunch, and the council chambers now stand. But when Cooke and new Coun- cilmember Robert Bamstone joined the council June 15, lobbyists and landowners throughout downtown rejoiced — the convention center sweepstakes were open again. Barnstone questioned the wisdom of proceeding with plans for the center before all of the land for the project had been acquired. The city does not own all of the land at any of the projected sites. Fearing that landowners at a site already approved would hold the city hostage for the highest possible sale price, Bamstone proposed opening up the site selection pro­ cess to a land swap. Landowners in the lower central business district (downtown, be­ tween Sixth Street and the river) would be asked to approach the city with offers to trade their land for city-owned parcels or other consid­ erations, such as the waiver of fu­ ture development fees. Councilmember George Hum­ phrey joined Bamstone on a sub­ committee to oversee the swap pro­ cess. The two hope to have all the offers by the end of August with a final deal cut within two months.

Learn how to speak with UT accent B y O i a r y l U M « O n R M M r o Many of us have experienced the awkwardness of being in a foreign country, afraid to open our mouths because we know the chance of cor­ rectly pronouncing a word is rough­ ly equal to the odds of not losing a sock at a Laundromat. So, in order to spare you the ago­ ny of playing charades while at­ tempting to give directions to Fri­ day's party, we have prepared a list of Austin's most commonly mispro­ nounced names. This list can be clipped and folded in a wallet for use in case of emergency. ■ Guadalupe Street: This proper name is rarely if ever used because the main campus shopping and munching thoroughfare is called The Drag. But if you really want to be precise, drop the Spanish accent and call it Gwa-dah-loop. ■ There is only one north-south interstate highway in Austin, but people here will still look perplexed unless you call it by its full name. IH-35, not just 1-35, dr "the high­ way." That's too confusing. ■ On the other hand, another north-south lovingly freeway known as MoPac — a contracted version of Missouri-Pacific, as in the is railroad company which owns the tracks running parallel to the road­ way. Its official name is Loop 1, but don't waste your time with that one. ■ Duval Street: That's the one di­ rectly north from campus, not Du­ val Road, which is much farther north and exists solely to confuse people calling police, ambulances and fire trucks. In either case, pro­ nounce it Doo-vol. ■ Lamar Boulevard: One of long­ est streets in Austin, Lamar has the distinction of hosting every major appliance repair shop in the city. Put the emphasis on the second syl­ lable. ■ Rio Grande Street: Don't try to show off your years of Spanish by making the second word into two syllables. In Texanese, it's Ree-o- grand. ■ San Jacinto Boulevard: This es­ sential street that runs through cam­ pus and downtown east of Con­ gress has a nickname that only seasoned hipsters tend to use — San jack. ■ Pedernales River and Street: This looks pretty straightforward, right? No. Put a Texas accent with it, and it's Purr-din-AL-ez. ■ Manor Road: Sure, it's Man-er everywhere else, but in Austin, it's May-nor. ■ Manchaca Lane: Don't even ask what happened to all the syllables in this one. Call it Man-shak, that's all. ■ Koenig Lane: Since the votes aren't in on whether this road name is German or of some other ethnic origin, nobody really knows how to say it. Try Kay-nig or Kone-ig, even Kyoo-nig. Someone is bound to un­ derstand. ■ Don't try to tell anyone Austin is located on the banks of the Colo­ rado River. Town Lake is the name of the body of water just north of Riverside Drive. is ■ Anderson Lane, upon which every essential store located, changes names three times as it runs through the northern end of the dty. Many new Austinites have had the disturbing experience of cruising unwittingly down Ander­ son, only to suddenly find them­ selves on Spicewood Springs Road, Research Boulevard, Ed Bluestein Boulevard or U.S. 183. ■ Mount Bonnell: This name is important because it not only desig­ nates the name of The Place to take a date, but it also is the name of the three streets that surround the famed place. Call it Mount Bun-nell with the emphasis on the second syllable.

You can still help. * % It's quick, it's easy, it's fun and you get a free T-shirt. It's also brand-spanking new and needs your help. It's the Austin AIDS walkathon. I know, I know. You just got here, you don't even know where your first class is, you haven't bought your books, you're probably not even unpacked yet. But the se­ cret to acclimatizing yourself to col­ lege life is to jump in with both feet. Now. AIDS Services of Austin is putting on the first annual Austin AIDS walkathon titled "From All Walks of Life" Sept. 10. If you noticed that "first" and "annual" shouldn't go together, kudos to you. See? There's one problem you've already addressed as a new student. AIDS is next on the agenda. "W e're all responsible for the is­ sue of AIDS,” said Jane Wells, coor­ dinator for the walkathon. That's why AIDS Services is tar­ geting walkathoners "From All Walks of Life.” (See how logical this is?) "This is the first community event [in Austin] to draw people around the AIDS issue,” she said. "This is an event that involves the whole community. Employers are encouraging their employees to par­ ticipate. Churches are encouraging their congregations." You probably remember how the walkathon thing works from junior high and high school. If you haven't been in a walkathon, just substitute whatever prefix-athon you were in. It's the same thing. You get spon­ sors, you show up, you do the aforementioned prefix. In this case, you register between 8 and 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 10, on the south Capitol grounds, and, at 10 a.m ., you walk 3.1 miles or, for foreign and engineering students, 5 kilometers. For people like me, that's not very far. I can walk 5 ki­ lometers. Wait. Don't tell me. You've al­ ready promised the pastor down the street you'd mow the church lawn that morning. That's awfully If Sept. 10 doesn't fit into your schedule, you can help by sponsor-» ing someone else. Better yet, talk* your athletically inclined roommate into walking and volunteer to be his/her/its manager. Or, you can volunteer your time any day or night between now and then doing any number of things. You can answer phones, send out any of 30,000 mailings or just play go-fer in general. But you really ought to be there for the event. Names aren't on the dotted lines yet, but, Wells said, there will be two or three "big names" perform­ ing on the Capitol grounds immedi­ ately following the walk. Anybody who doesn't attend, according to Wells, is "going to miss the party." You wouldn't want to miss the first party of your college career, would you? Maybe, walkathons aren't your style. There are more solutions for that. "We'll need about 200 [volun­ teers] for the day of the walk," Wells said. "W e have 70 now. We'll need 50 people for registration alone. "W e're going to be expecting somewhere in the area of 3,000 par­ ticipants.” Boston (the city, not the group) started the community AIDS walka­ thon several years ago. Since then, about 17 other U.S. cities have adopted the walkathon as a way to get their communities involved in AIDS services. In last year's Boston walkathon, 15,000 people raised $1 million "to benefit AIDS care and education.” Wells said the Austin aim is to earn $80,000, but double, even triple that goal wouldn't surprise her. "I think Austin people are gener­ ous," she said. And 3,000 participants is hardly a limit. "Nothing would please us more than to have so many people that we would be spilling off the Capitol grounds,” Wells said. College is designed to ready its students for 'real' life.

However, Latin American culture contributes far more to the Austin scene than just Taco Bell. Of course, college students can't think on an empty stomach. Those without cars can find Aleta's Fajitas at the Martin Luther King Jr. Boule­ vard end of the Drag. Aleta's has enjoyed a reputation for serving good food at reasonable prices for quite some time now. A bit more upscale, Manuel's Mexican Restau­ rant lies at 310 Congress Ave. Manuel's decor hardly reminds one of Mexico - the glossy black lacquered chairs and bar, the blood red strip running down the bar, and the very blonde waitresses with Texas accents do little to stir pic­ tures of Juarez. The guacamole green overhead supports make an effort, but can't overcome the other colors. Fortunately, their food more than compensates for the yuppie atmos­ phere. The fresh meat and vegeta­ bles wrapped in various types of com shells cooperate with salsas — hot enough to set the tortilla chips on fire — to make an enjoyable din­ ner. The menu, ranging from fajitas to flautas to huevos, prices most offerings around $6. Those who wish to be entertained while they eat can take a short walk down the street to what Joe Trevino of KTXZ radio calls "a real popular little place,” the Las Manitas Cafe at 211 Congress Ave. This fair-size cafe serves a little more atmosphere with its food than Manuel's manages to, mainly by the surroundings. Las virtue of Manitas serves the same fajitas and flautas, for about $2 less than Manu­ el's. However, the surrounding art in Las Manitas gives more flavor than the Michael Mann furnishings at Manuel's. Currently, two artists spice up the walls of Las Manitas. Photographs taken by Luis Gutierrez display var­ ious sights of working-class people and situations on the left-hand-side of the restaurant. Moving from film to canvas, paintings by Yvonne "Child" Cavasos adorn the right. In September, the art of Chilean Lean- na Wilson will be displayed. The mural represents four artists’ interpretations of their indigenous roots and the Indian aspect of Mexican history.

La Peña works as "a presenter or­ ganization” from 225 Congress Ave. According to its organizational ma­ terials, La Peña exists "to increase awareness in the general public of the artistic and social contributions of the Latino community, [as] a cul­ tural information ex­ change; and to provide a stage for the artistic presentations created by Latino artists, [and] a cultural space for artistic expression ... thus en­ couraging all others to embrace with greater understanding the Latino culture.” space for First organized in 1982 as a sister group to the original La Peña in Berkeley, Calif., the group has brought several musicians, writers, sculptors, dancers, actors and paint­ ers to Austin. The original peñas in Latin Amer­ ica were places where the arts, poli­ tics, and community or social events were held or discussed. Austin's own version of this cultural institu­ tion lives up to the precedent, re­ ceiving both municipal funding and the Phoenix award in 1986. Since that time, La Peña has hired staff and set its sights on higher goals, including a library and referral classes for children. "A rt organizations should be run by artists,” said Sylvia Orozco, di­ rector of the Mexic-Arte Gallery at 419 Congress Ave. "They should help artists and provide a service to the community.” Orozco and artistic director Pio Pulido intend to do both. Founded in 1983, the gallery, ac­ cording to material it distributes, "is dedicated to promoting the heritage of all cultures.” The gallery will host a grand opening at its new location Sept. 23 with an eclectic exhibit of art. Throughout the year, Orozco and Pulido intend to continue showing works from local artists.

Vases and other antiques are soid in the Gruene Haus country store. S tep back into Texas' past, to Gruene, where the charm of Texas history blends in har­ mony with today's present. Gruene (pronounced green) is nestled near the banks of the Guadalupe River and is now a prospering historical district of New Braunfels. Gruene is visited year round by tourists who venture into the town to shop for antiques, eat at the quaint restaurants, polka at the old­ est dance hall in Texas or tube down the river. However, many do not re­ alize how much history is packed within the little town that is almost hidden in a vast clump of cypress trees. Gruene draws its heritage from a German family, Ernst and An­ toinette Gruene, who immigrated to Texas in 1845. At that time, New Braunfels was the first town to be surveyed and settled by German immigrants. Town lots were quickly sold and the newer settlers had to into the sur­ venture northward rounding countryside. In 1872, Gruene and his two sons bought land in the nearby community of Goodwin, which is now known as Gruene. Cotton had been introduced into the area in 1852, and by 1870 it was recognized as the number one cash crop. Their youngest child, Henry Gruene, was very ambitious and en­ visioned dreams of'cotton fields spanning the countryside. Henry Gruene acquired 6,000 acres from his father in order to start his own farming community. He advertised for the need of share­ croppers and within months, 20 to 30 families occupied Henry's land. He sectioned out plots of acreage and charged his tenants a portion of their profits. The community grew as Henry added a mercantile building for the farmers so they would not need to drive into New Braunfels. It sup­ plied them with a post office, a gen­ eral store and a bank. This massive white building is still standing as the Gruene Antique Co. where See Gruene, pege 13D Tray Charlen, a UT Junior, amuses himself at the Rockin' R, a rental shop for rafts, boats, and tubes for the Guadahpe river.

Simple cures for these; and other dilemmas can be found scattered the biggest across Austin. Even ordeal can be made to seem minus­ cule with a simple action most peo­ ple perform every day. Spending money. More specifical­ ly, shopping. What better way to cure the blues than spending lots of money. You don't even have to have money to enjoy spending it. In fact, it's better that way. Credit cards provide the best instant gratification, but checks will do just fine. in And Austin has plenty of places for you to make use of daddy's plas­ tic. The best, of course, come in the classic all-American megastructure known as the shopping mall. Austin has three traditional large to choose from; Highland malls Mall, Barton Creek Square and Northcross Mall. Each offers unique features to help you during your spending therapy. Highland Mall's biggest asset is accessibility. Located at 6001 Air­ port Blvd., Highland is the closest mall to campus. A short drive down 1-35 provides a quick and relatively painless fix to the most desperate shopping junkie. M ore th an 160 stores are squeezed into the Highland Mall complex. Foley's, Dillard's, Scar­ brough's, and J.C. Penney provide fun-filled department store shop­ ping and stores like ACA JOE and The Limited Express offer ¿le latest fashions. Highland Mall also features the best in mall cuisine. The Food Court on the second level includes restau­ rants like Gaylord's Hamburger Pal­ ace, Bella Italia, Ariba Fajita and the Blue Dragon. Barton Creek Square, at 2901 Cap­ ital of Texas Highway (Loop 360), doesn't offer the convenience of Highland Mall, but it does house more than 170 stores. Finding your way around in Bar­ ton Creek Square can be a real chal­ lenge. Getting lost on your way from Foley's to Dillard's to Scar­ brough's could frustrate even the most devoted shopper. Northcross Mall at ¿525 W. An­ derson Lane doesn't live up to the mega-mall standards set by High­ land and Barton Creek Square. With only 56 stores, Northcross consists of only one level and one main wing. Unlike its Austin competi­ tors, however, the mall does house movie theaters — the Northcross 6. Northcross Mall includes stores such as Benetton and The Gap. The mall also contains an ice skat­ ing rink. Each session costs $4.50 in­ cluding skate rental. If you just really need to spend some money, the Arboretum offers the ultimate shopping fix. Sure, it's not a real mall, but it's really cool and everything is really expensive. The ultra-hip Arboretum is on the other side of hell on Research Boule­ vard and contains about 46 retail stores including Statement for tren­ dy m en's and women's fashions and Sharper Image for the coolest electronic gadgets. There's also an Amy's Ice Cream and some fun cow statues. So don't worry about being late on that paper. Forget about your roommate problems. Go shopping. You'll feel better in the morning.

Behind it is water tower Henry Gruene butt. Gruene Continued from page 12D many antiques are sold. Henry also built a cotton gin powered by water from the Gua­ dalupe River. The gin processed cotton raised by Gruene's tenants until a fire in 1922 gutted the wood­ en structure. Now, all that remains is the brick boiler house, which is now the rather well-known Grist Mill Res­ taurant. Many visit this outdoor res­ taurant because they can hear the peaceful murmurs of the nearby riv­ er while enjoying a variety of Texas dishes. After the original cotton gin burned, a new electric gm was con­ structed, which is now where the The Guadalupe Valley Winery is lo­ cated. The winery features various Texas vintages Anyone is free to sample them. In addition, Henry built a dance hall and saloon in the 1880s, which provided entertainment for the sur­ rounding community. The dance hall was the center of social life. “Every Saturday night all of the farmers would bring the en­ tire family, including the kids, oma and opa [grandmother and grandfa­ ther]," said Kevin Anderson, owner of Texas Homegrown, a present Gruene shop, which features Texas products such as pottery and Southwestern art. “They danced till dawn and got in their wagons and drove straight to church." Gruene Hall, the oldest building in continuous use as a dance hall in Texas, is still in operation and at­ tracts its tourists country music bands. to Gruene for The town, named after its found­ ing father, continued to prosper as its reputation began to spread about this charming community on the Guadalupe River. When Henry built the water tow­ er for the town, he held the belief that Gruene would someday sur­ pass New Braunfels in population. "He was a futurists," Anderson said. "As you can see, the water tower is far beyond the size stand­ ards than this town really needs." But the town was soon to face a series of tragedies that would lead to its demise. Henry died of cancer in 1920, which marked the end of Gruene's development. The new automobile made it easier for the farmers to do their shopping in New Braunfels. The boll weevil de­ stroyed many crops in 1925 and the Great Depression followed close be­ hind in 1929. The farmers fell into debt and then moved away. After these events, lonely foreman hung himself from the wa­ ter tower Henry had built before his death. The foreman's house is still the standing and is The Gruene Haus, a country store and antique shop. By 1930, Gruene was reduced to a ghost town, which lasted nearly 50 years. In 1974, an Austin developing company noticed the empty streets, the deserted buildings and the si­ lence of a town no longer alive, and also recognized the potential rebirth for this forgotten community. Now, Gruene stands fully re­ stored and preserved as a National Historic District. Henry himself would be amazed to see that his town has been rediscovered and is a unique part of Texas history. In fact, Henry's original homestead, built in 1872, was recently restored into the Gruene Mansion Inn as a bed and breakfast program. Some Gruene residents say that Henry's ghost still lingers in the halls of the mansion. f y i a i e b - b f c i h i g Emma Long C it y P a rk £BiMe btwdu 1300 A p p le g a te -836-3124 ,•••33V Meet at H yde P ark B a p tist C h u rc h $ h e e btuHeni uwlcome $micAe&n H f b .

The Galeria Sin Fronteras on East Seventh Street next to Nuevo Leon Restaurant offers “art from south of the border," according to Gilberto Cardenas, associate professor of so­ ciology. The three-year-old com­ mercial gallery, one of two in the country, operates out of a 100-year- old converted house. All displayed art may be bought, the proceeds of which are evenly split between the artist and gallery. In addition to the permanent ven­ ues, several other museums and galleries about town include Latin art in their schedules. The Laguna Gloria Art Museum, for instance, will exhibit the works of Mel Casas, a painter who they say “is a precur­ sor to the Chicano art movement." For those reluctant to drive all the way out to Laguna Gloria at 3809 W. 35th St., the Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery at 21st and Guadalupe streets devotes much of its second floor to art from Latin America. As far as music is concerned, KTXZ radio, AM 1560, provides a programming of 70 percent Tejano, according to the August issue of Tejano Vibes Magazine. Station mana­ ger and morning disc jockey Joe Trevino said the station has “come a Ion] way d< ipite never having a budget." Trevino pointed out that KTXZ is flexible, offering something for ev­ eryone from “people in high school to those over 50." He credits a “mixed Spanish and English format," a lack of “that ac­ cordion music like in the old days," and a rise in recording quality of the music for the success the station en- joys. Tejano music, a Hispanic style — among others such as Norteño — enjoyed a great deal of recognition this past year when former Mayor Frank Cooksey proclaimed Feb. 25 Latin culture in Austin extends far beyond reruns of La Bamba tapes. Among the galleries, clubs, radio stations and restaurants, the oppor­ tunities could be more fun than run­ ning the bulls at Pamplona, and a lot less dangerous.

A w eekend cam ping trip, to a quiet forest or a majestic m ountain can be just the thing to cure the headaches and hassles created by life at the University. There are m any places around the area to go camping, an d the sites available at these parks can accom m odate anything from a 30-foot W in­ nebago to a backpacker carrying his ow n tent. O ne of the closest state cam ping sites is the McKinney Falls State Park just south of Austin. The sum m er drought reduced the roaring falls to a slight trickle, but there is plenty of dry creek bed and cedar forest to explore. The major drawback to this park is that it is directly under the flight path of Bergstrom Air Force Base. This is a problem d u n n g the day, but not at night, as the base restricts flights because of the noise. To get to McKinney Falls, take U.S. 183 south past Bergstrom to Scenic Loop Road. Take that A park a little farther away, but w orth every bit of the drive, is the Bastrop State Park/Buesch- er State Park com bination. The parks surround an area know n as the Lost Pines. It is a huge stand of pine trees, with no com parable forest of pine trees around for h u ndreds of miles, hence the name. The Bastrop side of the park has cam per sites as well as tent sites. There is a golf course in the park, and also a sw im m ing pool. The main attraction of the park, though, is the trees. There is nothing like hiking in a stand of pine, breathing that fresh scent, and listening to the quiet, punctuated occasionally by a bird's call. Unfortunately, som etimes traffic noise from the highway intrudes on the solitude, but not enough to spoil the peace. Bastrop Park is connected to Buescher Park by a winding two-lane road that runs for miles in the pine woods.

About one mile south of the tow n of Bas­ trop, a sign points out the Bastrop State Park road. Buescher State Park is on Texas 71 about 10 miles east of the Bastrop State Park sign. Some cam ping spots farther away include En­ chanted Rock State Park near Fredricksburg, a giant granite formation that lends itself to rock climbing. If you drive w est on U.S. 290 from A ustin to Fredricksburg, you cannot miss the huge chunk of granite sticking up above the horizon. The beach is another drive that can be w orth the effort. The closest beaches to Austin with any sort of cam ping are around M atagorda, a three-hour drive. And if you d o n 't have equipm ent, d o n 't de­ spair.

Page 18D/THE DAILY TEXAN/August 1988 Historical buildings AH Austin roadways By JUKI— ft In April 1839, against strong opposition from East Texans, a presidential com m ission selected the settle­ m ent of W aterloo along the banks of the Colorado River to serve as the seat of pow er for the Republic of Texas. Now, alm ost 150 years later, the shaded streets and winding avenues of the tow n once considered too close to the frontier are the sites of m any old hom es, now serving as m onum ents to the m en and wom en w ho transform ed a few buildings on a bend in the river into the city of Austin. O ne of the oldest hom es found in Austin is the French Legation building, built in 1840 by Alphonse Dubois de Saligny, charge d'affaires of the Republic from France. Located just east of 1-35 on 8th Street, it was constructed in 1840 in the Greek Revival style. Soon after construction, how ever, A ustin's grow ­ ing pig population began invading the grounds of the estate. Dubois fought back, killing a num ber of pigs. But w hen the governm ent refused to back these executions, the French diplom at abandoned the great "pig w ar" and in 1841 headed east. W hen the D aughters of the Republic bought the land in 1954, all but the main house had been rebuilt after being destroyed by a fire. The D aughters have worked hard to furnish the house as it w as in the past, and the interior has been painted in the original colors. One of the m ost im posing buildings in Austin is the state Capitol, finished in 1888 after six years of construction. The building is of classical design, shaped in the Grecian cross, and covers three acres. Texas pink granite from Marble Falls was trans­ ported 50 miles to build the seat of governm ent, and miles of finely carved w oodw ork decorate its raised hallways and cham bers. Tours are available free of charge and run every 15 m inutes from 8:30 a.m . to 4:30 p.m . The Capitol itself is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m ., and 24 hours a day w hen the legislature is in session. C ounterpart to the Capitol, the G overnor's M an­ sion officially earned its title on June 14, 1856, w hen Gov. Elisha M arshall Pease m oved in. Built at a cost of $14,500, the m ansion has survived many hardships, including a fire in the library, a sui­ cide and being taken over by Yankee soldiers. It has even been reported to have a ghost w andering its hallowed passages. M ansion tours are free, beginning at 10 a.m . and running every 20 m inutes until 11:40 a.m . The University cam pus also has its share of dated dwellings, w ith the Littlefield H ouse located at 24th Street and Whitis Avenue. The house was built in 1894 by Maj. George W ash­ ington Littlefield, and at a cost of $50,000 is said to be a testimony to the im portance he placed on m aterial wealth. The main house and carriage house, m ade of red- brow n brick from St. Louis and rou n d ed off w ith sandstone trim and white m arble steps, are sur­ rounded by a brick wall and iron grill work. With a total of 17 room s and 13-ft., 9-inch high ceilings, the house em its a feeling of the Old South. Tours are conducted periodically during the sem es­ ter, but the house is open for self-guided tours year- round. Votunteer Continued from page 90 Recording for the Blind records books and textbooks for blind stu­ dents and adults throughout Texas. Kathleen Coyne, associate direc­ tor, said that volunteers read books, monitor tapes or check tapes before mailing. "[It's a] fun place to volunteer — and there are lots of students be­ cause it's close to campus," Coyne said. Coyne said the average book takes 24 hours to record, but some college-level textbooks take as long as 100 hours. Volunteers must attend a 45-min­ ute orientation session and must learn how to operate the recording equipment. Volunteers are asked to work one two-hour day or one 1 Vi-hour night session per week. But session lengths vary, she said. To volunteer for Recording for the Blind, contact Coyne at 477-9390.

Students of any major are wel­ come, but experience w ith groups of children (like sum m er camp) is recom m ended. People interested in volunteering should contact C athy Speer at 454- 3651. these A lthough services offer m any potential opportunities, there are agencies on cam pus that need volunteers.

Students wishing to teach in any of the program s can be of any m a­ jor, but sophm ores and juniors are preferred.

After applying, m ust have an interview. are Students in all three programs : must take or have taken a three- hour basic course in the area of in­ struction. After that course, a two- hour teaching course is required. After completing that course, stu­ dents are considered paraprofes- sionals and are allowed to teach unobserved while also earning cred­ it. The next semester, students, un­ der supervision, teach classes in subjects ranging from Methods of Contraception to Alcohol Abuse. She said in some contraception classes peer instructors stand in front of 200 students unrolling con­ doms, distributing diaphragms and demonstrating the application of spermicide foam into clear plastic models. Some people might have reserva­ tions over whether they could teach such classes. But Bell answers that with, "Sure you could — with some training." Several other positions in the Health Center offer opportunities to work with patients directly, said Ola Bell, volunteer coordinator. These range from working with disabled students to making in­ structional videotapes. All volunteers go through a train­ ing program, she said, and should least four hours per commit at week. And anyone who has an interest can apply — not just health-science majors, Bell said. The UT Campus Activities Office is sponsoring Volunteer Fair on the West Mall Sept. 14 between 10 a.m. * and 3 p.m. to inform students of * volunteer positions availiable. L ast' year over 65 agencies participated in < the fair. Scalf said that students unable to attend the fair should come to her office and look at the volunteer re­ ferral books, which list positions availiable, how m any hours a week are required, the nam e of the per­ son to contact and the agency's phone num ber and address. The listings are cross-referenced alpha­ betically, by agency and by type of work. "You need to have an idea of w hat type of volunteer opportuni­ ties you're in, what interested you're schedule will be, how many hours a week you w ant to devote ... [and] how you're going to get there," Scalf said. The office is not a volunteer- m atching service, but a referral ser­ vice. "We will give you the inform a­ tion and it's up to you to contact the agency." Everyone has seen the Capitol, but have you seen the men’s restroom there.

Conference championship well within reach of McWilliams’ Longhorns By B h m N. M Jr. In David McWilliams' first year as head coach of the Texas Longhorns, his mission was simple — return Texas football to some semblance of respectablility. And after a slow start, McWilliams' Longhorns more than exceeded expectations, coming within a quarter of winning the Southwest Conference champion­ ship. The goals for the 1988 campaign are not quite as clear, although a conference championship is well within reach of the second-year Tex­ as coach. The Longhorns return eight offensive and six defensive starters from the 7-5 Bluebonnet Bowl championship team of a year ago, making the upcoming version an experienced one. But the clincher in Texas' Cotton Bowl hopes is not the number of starters returning, but who is re­ turning, most notably SWC Offen­ sive Player of the Year Eric Metcalf and All-SWC linebacker Britt Hager. Metcalf, a consensus pre-season all- American, is a candidate for foot­ ball's highest award in 1988 — the Heisman Trophy. Metcalf was used sparingly under Fred Akers in his first two seasons at Texas, but last season became the workhorse of the Longhorn offense. The 5-foot 9-inch 178-pounder from Arlington, Va., rushed for 1,161 yards (third best in UT history) and scored 10 touchdowns. He also caught 33 passes for 238 yards, aver­ aging 7.2 yards per catch. 'You always new a ptstlon about the | It you IH lllH w itb a H — Coach Davtd McW—f Metcalf was also the top p u n t re­ turner in the conference (sixth in the nation) and would very likely have won top honors for kickoff returns if team s had not kicked aw ay from him. In all, the son of form er Na­ tional Football League star Terry Metcalf set a school record for all­ purpose yards with 1,925. His all-purpose average of 175 yards per game was third national­ ly, exceeding the num bers of 1987 H eism an T ro p h y w in n e r Tim Brown and legitimizing his bid to become Texas' second H eism an Trophy w inner in school history. Metcalf is the main reason 1988 could became a banner year for the Longhorns. And after w hat he ac­ com plished in only his first season as a starter, many feel the best is yet to come. team. In addition than 4.4 seconds, The sam e can be said about the Longhorns as a w hole — they are potentially college football's m ost explosive to Metcalf, Texas has a num ber of players w ho can travel 40 yards in less including starting wide receivers Tony jones, Johnny W alker and Kevin Nelson, and starting fullback Darron Norris. Speed is the coveted elem ent that can virtually change the complexion of a gam e in a m atter of seconds — never m ore evident than in Texas' 32-27 Bluebonnet Bowl upset of Pittsburgh. Metcalf and Jones (5-7, 139) gave the m uch-larger P an th ers fits.

The game showed how far the Longhorns had come since the sea­ son opener at Auburn, when Texas looked as if it was drawing pass plays in the dirt. The game also fueled great expectations for this season, since the Longhorns return all but three offensive starters from the Bluebonnet team. through "The win over Pittsburgh seemed to do probably as m uch for our team — morale-wise — and serve as m uch of an im petus toward the com ing season as we could have h o p ed ," McWilliams said. "It car­ ried the off-season pro­ gram and we got some things ac­ com plished for the coming season." G uard Paul Jetton and w ide re­ ceiver Gabriel Johnson, although good players in their ow n right, can be replaced — and in Johnson's case by a m ore talented replacem ent — Nelson. But it's the loss of quarter­ back Bret Stafford, ow ner of several school passing records, and the u n ­ certainty of his replacem ent that has m any speculative about Texas' po­ tential. Texas has a lot of firepower, but all will go for naught w ithout a ca­ pable quarterback. S hannon Kelley came out of the spring as the No. 1 quarterback, w ith Mark M urdock and Donovan Forbes leading the pack of contenders. McWilliams is confident of Kel­ ley, but know s the play at this posi­ tion will hold the key to the Long­ horns' season. TCU at Baylor at Waco Texas A&M at Austin Ashley Bogle "You always have a question about the quarterback if you are starting with a new one," McWilli­ am s said. "But I have a lot of confi­ dence in Shannon. Yet I w on't say I d o n 't have concerns about the posi­ tion. It is the key to our team ." If Kelley does come through for the Longhorns, McWilliams can thank himself for Kelley's success. Late last season during a conference gam e against H ouston, Kelley was pressed into service after an injured Bret Stafford left at halftime with Texas leading 24-20. Kelley, w ho com pleted 23 of 36 passes for 233 yards (a UT record for completions), enjoyed an infamous outing. Few recall the record but all rem em ber the three interceptions returned for touchdow ns in H ous­ ton's 60-40 come-from-behind upset of Texas. the Kelley's confidence was shot and his future as a quarterback was going dow n with it. But McWilli­ ams, consum m ate player's coach, stood by his quarterback. He knew Stafford couldn't start the next week so he gave Kelley a lot of support and played him for m ost of theTC U game.. Kelley w asn't bnlliant (complet­ ing six of seven passes for 86 yards) but he got the job done in a 24-21 Texas victory. McWilliams thinks that experience prepared his quart­ erback for this season. "O ne of the greatest things about S hannon came out after that H ous­ ton gam e," McWilliams said. "H e had a very poor game and it really concerned me because he was really dow n and he was discouraged with himself. But w hen he came back in the TCU game, I felt like mentally that w as a very im portant thing for him, for me and for the team ." Except for the quarterback posi­ tion, the Longhorns are set offen­ sively. The offensive line, running back and wide receiver positions are the deepest and m ost talented on the team. Starting w ith the effervescent Metcalf, Texas has a host of talent and speed in the offensive back- th e co n sú m ate field. M etcalf, is runner-receiver extraordinaire, capable of controlling a gam e single- handedly. And he surely will be getting the ball plenty of times. But the Longhorns do have other alternatives in the ground game. Norris, a four-year starter at full­ back, has his own explosive capabil­ ities. The senior from Oceanside, Calif., is arguably Texas' m ost ver­ satile running back, possessing the speed to run outside (4.4 40-yard dash) and the size(5-9, 195) to get the tough yards inside. A lth o u g h o v e rs h a d o w e d by Metcalf, Norris quietly had his best season in 1987 rushing for 635 yards and averaging 5.2 yards per carry. And McWilliams thinks his fullback is long overdue for recognition. "W e felt Darron was one of the better backs in the league last year," McWilliams said. "H e's a tough, steady player who does everything. H e's a good ball carrier, a real tough blocker and a good pass receiver." Behind the two starters, Norris and Metcalf, Texas has a stable group of reserves in Chris Samuels, Eric Williams, Patrick Wilson and Deon Cockrell. All can play either the fullback or tailback position and all can catch the ball. 1 don't tNnk there is a better corps of Nee nck- ers than what wo w l put on the tad as our starters.' - McWW ms The em ergence of Williams and Wilson during the spring has been especially satisfying to McWilliams; both give Texas the big goal line threat it so dearly needed last sea­ son. "I think we helped ourselves in short yardage and goal line situa­ tions," McWilliams said. "W e ha­ ven't had that strong back that we probably will need dow n on the goal line, hut now I think Eric Wil­ liams and Patrick Wilson will give us that." The Longhorn receiver corps has been rated by the Sporting News as one of the top five in the nation. Jones, Walker, Nelson, Keith and Kerry Cash and Jorrick Battle give Texas a versatile group of pass- catching specialists; the Cash tw ins and Battle com plem ent the speed of the other three beautifully. The offensive line, also one of the bright spots for the 1988 Longhorns, returns six experienced players in Brian Nielsen, D uane Miller, Alan C ham pagne, O m ar Saleh, Stan Thomas and Charles Seafous. Texas also has Todd Smith, Patrick McFar- lin and Scott Gooch to back up the top six and give the Longhorns valuable depth. is who The most glaring feature of the defense is missing. The Longhorns lost three starters (John Hagy, Tony Griffin, Gerard Sene­ gal) in the secondary to graduation, leaving only safety Stanley Richard. Lettermen Paul Behrm an and Tex the safety position Mercer give depth, but the cornerback position has McWilliams worried. "Cornerback is the num ber one place w here we just d o n 't have any guys that have played that posi­ tion," McWilliams said. "There is some ability back there, but they just d o n 't know w hat is going on yet." Fred Stromile, Irish Lewis, Bubba Jacques and Mark Berry are the heirs apparent to the position. Stro­ mile is the only one w ith any game experience, as he started several games tow ards the end of last sea­ son. He will be looked upon to pro­ vide leadership and skill for the Longhorns next season. Also, Stanley Richard's play at safety has helped ease some of McWilliams concerns at cornerback. Richard, who played com er last sea­ son, is a natural safety and is ex­ pected to vie for all-conference hon­ ors. "Stanley had a good spring," McWilliams said. "H e has really took to the safety position. I think we are going to leave him there be­ cause he will be able to help the cor­ ners a lot. H e's become sort of our quarterback back there."

At Back to School Savings! j Tickets, please Athletic stickers make getting UT sporting event tickets fun, cheap and really easy By Karan M a n A few weeks back I w as in Arkan­ sas — where anything the Universi­ ty of Arkansas does sportswise is revered by all. While I w as there, I saw a feature in one of the new spapers on U A 's football coach, Ken Hatfield, with the introduction talking about how upset people still were that our illus­ trious team had beaten their prized Razorbacks. This was in July, sever­ al months after the fact. And you thought our exes were preoccupied with football. Anyway, last year's gam e w as in Little Rock — kind of a tough road trip to make, although looking back it would have been a great gam e to see in person. But fortunately, this season's an­ nual rivalry is to be renew ed here at Memorial Stadium — and the H ous­ (Cougar high), Texas A&M ton (agies), New Mexico and University of North Texas (imagine the name of their radio station) team s will also be by for a visit. Now, considering our chances to do really well this season, you'll cer­ tainly be w anting to see all these games. W hich leads us to the main point — how do you go about get­ ting football tickets? First thing you'll need is an ath let­ ic sticker. This is a requirem ent, and while $52 may seem like a steep price to pay for a little thing stuck to your student ID, rem em ber that it gets you football gam es — regularly an $85 proposi­ tion. into all hom e And, as an added bonus, you can get tickets for 15 hom e m en's bas­ ketball gam es, 14 hom e w om en's basketball gam es, 34 hom e baseball gam es, ... . I n other w ords, $52 dol­ lars is a real bargain. Now that you're sold, how do you get one? Easy. If you 're plan­ ning to register during centralized just bubble in "in te r­ registration, collegiate athletics" on your form . It will be added to your fee bill. Then take your paid fee bill to the ticket offices at L. Theo Bellm ont Hall (it's really part of M em orial Sta­ dium, but d on't tell anyone), show the friendly em ployee behind the window proof of your desire to see football gam es, and walk out sm il­ ing with your ID stickered. (Hang on while I tell the rest of the folks how to get stickers.) If you've already registered and didn't bubble the fee in, or if you forget in the panic of centralized registration, never fear. Starting Aug. 22 you can buy a sticker with II you're planto» to reg­ ister during CMitrabBd registration, just biMte ■ nrarconpna nm i- 1» ’ on your form. no extra cost at the ticket office. Tony Pangonas, assistant box off­ ice m anager, recom m ends that if you have to follow this route, you should com e in as early as possible — preferably before the first home game — to buy or pick up your stickers. The lines for tickets and stickers will be separate, so you can save hours off that first trip for tick­ ets by planning ahead and getting your athletic sticker early. Now that you have the sticker, you're ready to get tickets for the first home game — or any home gam e, for that manner. G ather up to five of your friends' ID s (you can draw a maximum of six tickets for the gam es), go to the ticket office and stand in line. W hen you get to the w indow , simply hand the IDs over to the friendly em ploy­ ee, who will give you the proper num ber of tickets drawn at random . Now you 're set. Note: You'll need to present your ID with your ticket at the gate, so don't forget to bring the ID with you. Pangonas had another good tidbit of advice: C om e as early as you can to draw. You m ight not necessarily get the best tickets, but you will be ahead of everyone else who forgot until the last possible day to draw. logical question to ask is "W h at do I do if 1 w ant a ticket for m yself and one for a friend who d oesn't go to U T?" O ne W elcom e to the w onderful world of date tickets. In this scenario, your d ate's ticket will be the usual cost and yours will be covered by your ID. So, all you need to do is take your ID and $15 to the ticket w indow and say, "I need date tick ets," and they will give them to you. A nother logical question to ask at this point is "W h at if there are more than six of us that w ant to get to­ gether to see a gam e?" In years past, there w asn't much you could do — except visit your friends on the other side of the stu ­ dent section. But this year things will be different, because this is the first year group ticket sales (for 10 or more fans) will be available. How can you get in on this deal? The first step, obviously, is to round up a group and pick a leader/organ­ izer/sucker. Then, call the ticket office the week before the draw for the game (game draw s are usually the week of the gam e) and tell those folks you want group seating. They'll take your nam e, phone number, other pertinent information and the num ­ ber of tickets you w ant — ensuring your m erry band a spot on the group ticket list. Now com es that tricky "responsi­ bility" aspect of being the horde's liaison. Don't forget to go to the ticket office between 6 p.m . and 8 p.m . on the first draw date (usually a Monday, but there are possible ex­ ceptions) and pick up your block of randomly selected tickets. The key point here is to show up to pick up the tickets. If you don't, the tickets will be returned to the pot for others to draw , and your friends will not be too pleased with you. And now for som ething com ­ pletely different — road gam es. In past years you cou ld n't draw tickets to road gam es until the w eek of the gam e, and you had to pay $15 per ticket. Well, this year you still have to pay for the road-gam e tickets, but you d on't have to wait until the w eek of the gam e. As of Aug. 22, you can buy tickets for any road gam e during the season — except the Texas-O U fest. Speaking of O U w eekend, it d oesn't really m atter w hether or not we beat them — and the past few years it's been "o r n o t" — going to Dallas that w eekend is alw ays fun. But just because the game is in Dallas d oesn't m ean it's an "a w a y " gam e. O ur ticket office is treating it as a hom e gam e — which m eans that all the hom e game procedures will be followed. If you w ant tickets, in line and you'll have to stand draw them. Hope you like long lines, kids. There is one procedural differ­ ence, though. Instead of draw ing tickets the w eek of the gam e as usu­ al, this draw will be held a w eek early — the w eek of Rice gam e, which is in H ouston. O ther than that, everything w'ill be the same. Well, there you have it. Alm ost everything you need to know about how to get football tickets. By the way, if you have any further qu es­ tions, either call the ticket office at 471-3333 or check The Daily Texan for interesting, inform ative advertise­ m ents on the subject.

Stop a minute. Just freeze everything. Donna Lopiano probably wishes she could. The UT women's athletic the perfect director has bottled wine, taking her department to the pinnacle of the women's collegiate athletic world. Oh, she could hope for national titles in every sport. That would be a pinnacle none could top. But for the second consecutive year, every women's team sport at the Universi­ ty won the Southwest Conference championship. Every women's team finished the season among the nation's top 10 except for tennis, which finished in the top 20. The swimming and div­ ing team has won five consecutive national championships, and the in­ door track and field team joined the swimmers as national champions this year. The basketball, volleyball and swimming/diving teams have won every SWC championship since 1983. Whew. Those accomplishments are imposing indeed. But the wom­ en's sports program is about more than simply game results. Lopiano's department has succeeded in get­ ting the community involved in the UT women's sports. As recently as 1983, basketball m w m ft ta n sport won tho South- wool Conference ctam- ptonsNp. coach Jody Conradt said she doubt­ ed her team could fill the Frank Erwin Center with fans — "n ot in my lifetime, anyw ay." Four years later, a sellout crowd watched the Lady Longhorns play Louisiana Tech in a Final Four semi­ final contest in the Erwin Center. The trend continued. The basket­ ball team has broken its own nation­ al season attendance record for sev­ eral years running. Regional and national NCAA events have been, and continue to be, hosted by the University. The U niversity hosted this spring's NCAA Women's Swim­ ming and Diving National Chamgi- onships, regional playoff tourna­ ments in volleyball and basketball and the SWC Tennis Champion­ ships. In the past three years, Texas has also hosted national champion­ ship events in basketball and tennis. And this year is no different. With the success of the volleyball team (two Final Four trips in the past two years), hosting one of the four regional tournaments is likely. And the basketball team will host the West Regional this year and the Midwest Regional in 1990. Hosting tournaments is not all the national exposure the women's ath­ letic program will get this year, ei­ ther. Five women's games are going to be telecast nationally this season, and the Lady Longhorns' contest against Tennessee on Jan. 31 is a possibility for one of those. The basketball team continues its annual partnership with the Ronald th e M cD o n ald H o u se w ith McDonald's Challenge, which in past years has featured games in front of large crowds against South­ ern Cal, Tennessee and Mississippi. This year, the McDonald's Chal­ lenge will pit the Lady Longhorns against Western Kentucky on Jan. 21. The volleyball team has its spe­ cials, as well. The second home match of the season against Oklaho­ ma on Sept. 17 will be a student night, with free tickets handed out around the city. A tailgate party for the 7:30 p.m. match is a possibility. And the Lady Longhorns will fol­ low that with the Reebok Showcase I and II against UCLA Sept. 28 and 29. The first of those matches is to be played in San Antonio. Student fans of these teams enter­ ing the University this fall may be receiving a treat.

You can be a serious, hardball competitor, a powder-puff player or Anything in between and find a team to fit your style through the tec Sports Intramural program. I Intramurals offers everything Jrom miniature golf to the sports trivia bowl, but the most obvious IM sport for the fall is, of course, foot­ ball. During the 1987-88 school year, ¿83 men's, women's and co-ed teams played IM flag football. You can join the recruiting list for one of the existing teams by adver­ tising your playing prowess and phone number on a 3x5 index card in Gregory Gym Room 30 (Grego­ ry's on the corner of Speedway and 24th Street across from Jester Dor­ mitory). Most of the established teams lose players to graduation, moves and/or busy schedules so there's a good chance you'll get drafted. If, however, none of the existing teams suit your style, start your own. Gather willing participants (with validated UT IDs) from your dorm, your church, your Greek so- ciety or your hometown, invent some clever and original name for yourselves and pick a team captain/ manager to do the busy work. Registration, again in Room 30, costs, on the average, $30 per team. That entry fee goes for referees, equipment, lighting (most of the games are played at night) and the fields. You choose a set game schedule, set your own practice times (option­ al) and you're set. Take the IF shut­ tle to the IM Fields off 51st Street for your games once a week. Sound simple? It is. if At the end of the season, you've decided to take the games seriously (and that is not necessary), you can even compete in the single­ elimination playoffs. Who knows. You might win the world and get T- shirts and your team's picture hung in Gregory beside the other IM winners from 1919 through 1987. Ah, but football's not the only hallowed sport in many Texans' hearts. IM softball typically has the most teams participating. For the 1987-88 school year, 600 men's, womens' and co-ed teams for closet jocks played 3-pitch and/or plain vanilla softball. Remember the football reg­ istration spiel? Same thing for soft­ ball. Or tennis. O r golf. O r nine ball, whatever that is. In basketball, 600 team s com pet­ ed last school year. Volleyball had 264 team s, soccer 122. Participation hours totaled 111,911. That is, if ail the students involved in IM sports had participated for just one hour, 111,911 students would have been involved in intramurals. That's more than twice UT's en­ rollment, as you m ay've noticed. There's no practical w ay to tally the number of students participating since students are allowed and en ­ couraged to play in one, two or all 25 of the sports offered.

"I don't think there is a better corps of linebackers than w hat we will put on the field as our starters," McWilliams said. "T h at's as good a linebacker trio as has been at Texas in a long tim e."

They will be anchored by ends Bobby Duncum and O scar Giles, two of the m ost aggressive players in the conference. Both Giles and Llewellyn are candidates for all-con­ ference aw ards and they should prove to be catalysts on a resurging Texas defense. 1988 should be a big year for the Longhorns — accountability has re­ placed respectability as the com m on goal.

Volleyball Coach Mick Haley signed five recruits, including the highly regarded Nikki Busch of Milwaukee and Annette Garza of San Antonio. Freshm en Dagmara Szyszczak and Q uandalyn Harrell, who impressed last season, also help give a new look to the team as their roles expand. The basketball team , which lost in the regional semifinals in March af­ ter reaching the Final Four in 1987 and winning the national cham pi­ onship in 1986 with a perfect 34-0 record, takes on a definite new look when the season opens Nov. 15.

Arriving are six freshmen, including Parade All-American and Player of the Year Vicki Hall, an Indianapolis native who was the only high school play­ er invited to the Olympic Trials. Clarissa Davis, an All-American and Naismith Player of the Year as a sophom ore, returns as one of only two seniors. The Nov. 15 exhibition game against the Canadian National Team is the first of a possible 17 home games. In other sports, the golf team that went to the NCAA Championships as a favorite has its star — Michiko Hattori — back for a sophom ore season. The lone hom e golf tourna­ ment is March 16-19. The track and field team will con­ tinue its quest for a national title with sprinter/hurdler extraordinaire Carlette Guidry back for a sopho­ more season, and a strong, experi­ enced supporting cast is back for the most part, as well.

That's Jeff in the photo above, attending a “love-in" (no kidding!) on the day after the SA run-off. For students at The University of Texas at Austin, 1970 was a tumultuous, exhilarating, radical all-around year. And no single vol­ ume captures the spirit better than the 1970 Cactus. Its pages tell of marches and can­ celled classes to protest the Vietnam war, “fishbowl’’ sensitivity sessions, the fight to stop stadium expansion and save Waller Creek, the Chuck Wagon incident, and Earth Day.

The pool's not that big. But you can hook up with the w ater ski team through Gregory's UT Sports Club office. D on't w ater ski? Shame. Maybe one of the 35 rem aining sports clubs will appeal to you. W ater polo, crew, wrestling, billiards, bowling ... O r perhaps you'd prefer som e­ thing from our exoticly-named cate­ gory. Through the Sports Club pro­ gram, you can try czardas (roughly folk danc­ translated, H ungarian ing), kendo (Japanese sword fight­ ing) and/or tai chi (a series of exer­ cises). lift Back to the com er of Speedw ay and 24th Street. G regory's O pen Rec departm ent (that's the stuff in the gym) boasts 13 racquetball/ handball courts, two squash courts, m en's and w om en's locker rooms and showers, and seven basketball courts. Plus, you can play wallyball (don't ask), w orkout in the gym nas­ tics room with Mary Lou Retton free or universal (maybe), weights in one or both of the weight rooms sexy bodies — nudge, nudge) and play pingpong (table tennis, for those in the know). All this and more for the flash of a validated UT ID. No, it's not free — you paid $12 for the use and m ain­ tenance of these facilities w hen you (or your parents) w rote the check for your fee bill. Not a bad deal for the student body, actually, when you figure that roughly 75 percent of UT students uses som e aspect of the Rec Sports Departm ent. The (strong, FOOTBALL Pickle (Perry Castaneda Library, PCL) doesn't boast that kind of at­ tendance. Let's review w hat w e've got here. You w ant to, for example, play rac­ quetball in Gregory. You and your alleged partner enter the gym through the 24th Street entrance im­ m ediately across from Jester (the huge, m ondo dorm). You've got your newly validated UT IDs in hand. You walk past the little table w here the people in yellow shirts are sitting and flash your pictures (by the way, everybody's photos look that way — it's the film). You then proceed to find an open rac­ quetball court and play. Maybe. Probably not, though. Likelihood has it that all the courts are full because you d id n 't reserve one. I know. I left that part out. T hat's w hy I'm bringing it up here. You can reserve a court 48 hours in advance by calling 471-6216 and putting your nam e on a list. You have to call in the m orning, though, and the courts are often taken by the time you get through the busy signal. If you miss reserving a court, go ahead and try the walk-in route, since no-show s are relatively com­ mon. You can sign up on a waiting list an hour in advance for any extra courts. So, you're in Gregory, you've got a partner and a court, but you for­ BUCK'S BIKES Hours: M-F 9:30-6 Sat 10-5 2520 Guadalupe St. 478-7171 Free Parking in Rear Entrance!

Page 26D/THE D A IL Y TEXAN/August 1988 Aggies predicted to win football championshto hi image-conscious SWC By Stgve tarts For whatever early August pre­ dichons amount to, the Southwest Conference football coaches are in a general early-August agreement on two things: 1) The SWC, which has been kicked around by non-confer­ ence teams and by the media in the past two years, is about to regain its former place in national promi­ nence, and 2) The Aggies should finish on top of the conference race — again — this year. In both cases, part of the thinking stems from the relative ease with which the Aggies pummeled Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl last year. The Aggies were the consensus choice by SWC coaches to win their fourth consecutive title. In the informal balloting, Texas finished just ahead of Arkansas for second place, with TCU, Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston and Rice rounding out the field. Even though Houston and Texas A&M are currently under NCAA in­ vestigation, the uproar about SWC schools' rampant cheating has qui­ eted to a murmur, and the league has a chance to capitalize on a strong three Bowl gam es to end the 1987 season. Most coaches say it may take until 1989 to wipe away all the tarnish. showing in the "Will league regain some respectability?" TCU Coach Jim Wacker bounced back to a group of reporters. "A&M kicked the dog out of Notre Dame, Texas beat Pitts­ burgh [in the Bluebonnett Bowl] and Arkansas took Georgia down to the wire [in the Liberty Bowl]. Yes, that projection," you can make Wacker said with a proud smile. Texas A&M officials will meet with officials from the NCAA In­ fractions Committee Aug. 13-14 to discuss 38 alleged violations. The infractions committee generally an­ nounces within two to three weeks of the meeting any sanctions they 1987 SW C FootbaH Final Standings Conf.

Texas A&M could know before its Aug. 27 sea­ son opener against Nebraska if it will be put on probation. A team on probation is not eligible for the SWC title or Bowl appearances. That, and a masochistic schedule, may be the only thing that could keep the Aggies from becoming the first team to win four consecutive conference titles since the Long­ horns won six in a row between 1968-73. Texas A&M's non-confer­ ence opponents include Nebraska, LSU, Alabama and Oklahoma State. And A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill says that's not necessarily the tough part of his schedule. The league is strong this year and the teams are so well matched that he says the biggest problem the SWC teams have, "is that we have to play each other." He says the SWC has not been as far in the gutter in recent years as everyone is led to believe. He may just be thinking of his own team, however, because the rest of the league has not been near A&M's league for a while. The Aggies had a mild quarter­ back problem last season. Or they at least had a problem picking one and never really settled the debate. Two of those quarterbacks — sopho­ mores Bucky Richardson and Lance Pavlas — are back and will compete with University of M ississippi trans­ fer Chris Osgood to lead the team. $ Tennis * Stringing $ Special *1* * 5 » per Racquet !5!

But Hat­ field is a victim of Razorback tradi­ tion. Arkansas has not been to a Cotton Bowl since 1976 and the alumni are Cotton-pickin' mad about it. Even if Hatfield doesn't win a championship, how he doesn't win it may determine whether the fans just tighten the noose around his neck or go ahead and kick the stool from beneath his feet. Last year Hatfield and his conservative, run- oriented offense were blasted, espe­ cially after a 16-14 loss to Texas at Little Rock. Quarterback Quinn Grovey, who started three gam es last season as a freshman and often spotted injury- prone starter Greg Thomas, will lead the team. Behind Grovey will be senior tailback Jam es Rouse, who might have been the league's pre­ mier running back had it not been for Metcalf. Rouse gained 1,004 yards last season. For the first time in three years, Hatfield and his crew aren't being picked by many to win the league title this year. He likes it that way. "The team picked to be first has to carry a big burden," he said. "A nd it gets heavy sometimes too." Falanda Newton, TCU's all-con­ ference defensive back, said his team picked up some much-needed confidence last season despite los­ ing its last three games. Just the fact that TCU was in the bowl hunt in November (and at least mathemati­ cally in the conference race for first place) provided a big confidence boost. "That sparked a fire in u s," New­ ton said. Something better spark a fire in the TCU players. If they don't fire up, their coach, like Hatfield, just may get fired. Jim Wacker is in his fifth year, and optimism isn't pacifying the folks around TCU anymore. After dogging Baylor and H ous­ ton by a combined score of 59-7 last season, the H om ed Frogs ran into a last-minute disaster against Tech. TCU then lost to Texas and Texas A&M, the first- and second-place conference finishers, to end with a 5-6 record and without a bowl ap- pearence. Wacker's teams at TCU are 1-1-13 in their last three gam es of the season, and the Wacker Back­ ers who were singing praises of the optimist supreme in the last few years have suddenly developed lar­ yngitis. Wacker needs to win this year. Do TCU's players hear the ru­ mors about Wacker? "We know we need to w in," Newton said. Wacker knows it too. "Is this a make-or-break year? They all are," Wacker said. "Poten­ tial doesn't mean anything," he said. "It's the performance that counts, and that's where we are right now. We have to perform ." Tech picked a bad year to have a good team. The Red Raiders will re­ turn 11 starters and in any other year might be picked third, but are generally getting mentioned with the pack that will fight for fifth and sixth place. Quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver might be the best in the Southwest Conference. H e's got a crop of small, swift receivers that should create a lot of scoring. Running back Jam es Gray gained 1,006 yards last season for third in the conference. The Red Raiders have enough of­ fense to score on anybody (includ­ ing the Aggies) but may not have the defense to stop anybody (in­ cluding Rice). Seven defensive start­ ers are gone. Figure in Tech's sched­ ule (road gam es against Arkansas, TCU and Texas A&M) and figure the Red Raiders for a sixth-place fin­ ish. Baylor Coach Grant Teaff says he can't remember a year when he had a totally new crop of offensive line­ men. That's a long time, consider­ ing he's the SW C's elder coach with 16 years of experience. Sophomore Brad Goebel w as the consensus All-SWC first team quart­ erback last season, but may not even have enough time to beg for mercy when the inexperienced line begins to cave in. Jack Pardee and his funny-look­ ing run-and-shoot offense are back for a second year at Houston. The team would benefit from having one solid quarterback that could car­ ry the team all season. Andre Ware, David Davis and Ed Powers all got shots at the starting duties last sea­ son and will be given a chance this year. The Cougars have talent, but also have a lot of question marks. When predicting Houston's fate, people around the conference seem to feel comfortable with only one thing: that the Cougars will finish ahead of Rice. And, unfortunately for the Owls, that's a warm-weather prediction that will likely become a harsh cold- weather reality by December. Associated Press Coach Jackie SherriR is predicted to take the Aguíes to a conference champion hip — for the fourth time in a row. But even if the Aggies are down­ right poor offensively (which they won't be) it might not matter. All- American candidate John Roper is one of four returning starters at line­ backer. They are just as speedy as last year, and a year wiser and stronger. It's because of this group that the Aggies are being picked in early preseason polls even higher than their 10th-place finish in last season's final AP poll. The Aggies just have to keep from getting one of those players hurt when they play the four tough non­ conference gam es. Sherrill says the gam es will be a benefit if people stay healthy. "It's going to help to play those games. It helped us to play LSU last year. We would not have beat Washington last year if we had not played LSU ," Sherrill said. Texas also has the problem of an unproven quarterback. Senior Shan­ non Kelley will start. But Kelley is not the center of attention in Texas' backfield. All defensive and media eyes will be on Eric Metcalf, who has his eyes on a Heisman. Even though the Longhorns will have an inexperienced quarterback and secondary, the rest of the team is good enough to draw a consensus second-place pick from the other coaches. The schedule favors Texas, which plays Arkansas, Houston and Texas A&M at home. Two of the coaches who made those predictions may soon be predicting what they will be doing at this time next year. If Arkansas' Ken Hatfield and TCU's Jim Wacker don't have banner years, their fans may get bloodthirsty. •I* •I* Mountain Bikas startin g a t * ! • • * * Road Bikas after «aoálh r» Sept T W W .M m ft « « S 7W.MLK SPECIALIZED TREK CANNONDALE CENTURION Visit us for the largest selection and best prices on all bicycles, accessories and cycling clothing! *G w m m Krypton*» K4 locks. ft»Q. $31.95 w*h *w ad $26.95. • R IE - Bring in Am ad and recorvo on» fr»» paftch k*t (km* 1 pm cwtomml 2404 San G ab rie l 477-6846 .

PRIVATE By lu rtü B y | b Living in a dormitory is as much a part of freshman life in college as sleeping through that class for the first time. Dorms come in different flavors. There are both University-owned and operated dorms and ones that are owned privately. Some dorms offer the option of living alone. Others give you a roommate, who could turn out to be a life-long friend, a hated rival or someone you fust have to tolerate for two semesters. Meal plans are offered at almost all dorms, and while the food is not always haute cuisine, most people find it edible. And some find the food quite delicious, for institution­ al fare. The University-owned dorms are at several on campus sites, so you could live right next door to your classes. Many private dorms are still with­ in two or three blocks of campus, and two of those are right across Guadalupe Street, which borders the campus. "living in Jester was great, be­ cause 1 could wake up five minutes before my class and run downstairs said Rachel i t," and make McGruder, a psychology senior who had a class in Jester Center. Beauford H. Jester Center is the largest member of the dorm family. It has space for 2,889 people, and is split into two wings: Jester East and Jester West. Both Jesters offer facilities such as study lounges on each floor, a tele­ vision in the lobby of each building, computer rooms and the famed Jest­ er Cafeteria. The computer rooms are a recent addition to University dorms, and are stocked with IBM PS/II and Ma­ cintosh Plus computers, as well as the latest software, said Janice Daman, an assistant director of the Division of Housing and Food Ser­ vice. University dorms, unlike private dorms, offer residents a choice of the types of people they would like to live with — based on common social and educational interests. In Jester, there are a range of liv­ ing options — from outdoor recre­ ation to intensive study. The options also include opportu­ nities for science and engineering students to live with other science and engineering students. There also are floors for art students, hon­ ors students, business students and health sciences students. Other campus dorms offer only the intensive study option. Campus dorms also have their own student government, with each wing of students electing a representative. Resident assistants are available in each wing of each dorm floor. Their jobs are to oversee the people living in their wing and provide help or counseling for their resi­ dents. "RAs are responsible for a certain number of social and educational programs each semester,” Daman said. RA programs include topics such as study skills, resume writing and a faculty fellow program, where each floor "adopts” a faculty mem­ ber who will occasionally eat meals with residents and give presenta­ tions to them. The University dorms, while con­ venient to classes, do not have the same facilities and services offered by some of the private dormitories. The Castilian, a private dorm at 2323 San Antonio St., one block from campus, offers a large variety of facilities. The room and meal plans run in the neighborhood of $5,MO for a school year, said Jami Halperin, a receptionist at the Castilian. Facilities include a pool, sauna, Sm Dorm*, pag» 2E / Page 2E/THE DAILY TEXAN/August 1988 Dorms Continued from page 1E weight room , study rooms, com put­ er room, a sun deck, laundry room and recreation rooms. The dorm also has a television lounge on each floor. Halperin said recreational activi­ ties are offered by each floor of the Castilian, and there are also Castili­ an-wide events for all the residents. For example, about once a month there are special dinners that sport various like "build your own pizza" or Mexican food night. them es Halperin said the advantages of the Castilian over the University dorm s include more facilities and a better atm osphere. "T he food is better and residents can eat any time during the d ay ," she said. The Castilian has a capacity of 715 people, and has its own parking lot. Dobie Center, the largest private dorm with a capacity of 900 people, is at 2021 Guadalupe St., across from UT's H arry Ransom C enter on the south side of the campus. Richard Burns, the m anager of Dobie, said rooms start at $3,600 per school year and range to $7,000 for a single room with bath. He said rates are based on room size. All room s have the same ser­ vices. The Dobie residence hall is on top of Dobie Mall, which contains a movie theater and several fast-food restaurants. The residence hall at Dobie offers meal plans to residents and non-residents. The cafeterias there are open for 2xh hour periods each day Burns said. Uving in Jester was great, because I could woke 11 five minutes be­ fore my class and run downstairs and make it.' — Rachel McGruder, senior The dorm also has security and m aintenance people on call every day, he said. Dobie has an outdoor sw im m ing pool, an exercise room, a game room, m en's and w om en's saunas, study room s and TV rooms, B u m s said. A social program is also available at Dobie, with parties every week, and dorm -w ide parties every week, Bum s said. "W e have an annual casino night, in M ay ," with some big prizes Bum s said. Bum s said Dobie is better than UT dorms because "it is privately owned and operated so complaints are handled quickly." He said it is better than other pri­ vate dorm s because of the better food and better service they offer. The Contessa, at 2706 N ueces St., is a co-ed dorm with a more inti­ mate atm osphere because of the small number of residents living there. It houses 160 students and offers personal maid service, said Paul Baliff, a Contessa resident. He said Contessa rates range from $4,800 to $6,200 a year, and in­ clude meals. There are private or semi-private room s available, and each room has a connecting bath. There are RAs on duty all the time, Baliff said, and there are also two resident supervisors. He said the dorm 's small size an advantage, with " a more integrated atm osphere which we really pro­ m o te," along with better food, since it is prepared for such a small num ­ ber of people. It is IV2 blocks from cam pus, and is co-ed. He said the Contessa has a com ­ puter room and a study lounge. The dorm also has weekly movie nights, and sponsors dorm-wide parties. Sherri M artin, w ho lived at Contessa her freshman year and in Blanton Dormitory, on the UT cam ­ pus, her sophom ore year, said the w orst thing about the Contessa was the price. Also, it is located in the middle of the W est Cam pus area, which can be noisy sometim es, she said. Die IMIH you Ive hi the HMs, you have a better chanco of graduating.' —Janice Daman, Houolng and Food Service "T he Contessa does have its own pool which I didn't u s e ," Martin said, "an d it has its own parking — that's n ice." She moved into the UT dorm her sophom ore year, and said she liked the mix of people there. "I think you get a m uch m ore di­ verse group of people at UT d orm s," she said. The food at Blanton w as the worst part of living at the UT dorm s, she said. "I would recom m end a UT dorm before recom m ending one off cam ­ pus because you are right in the heart of everything," Martin said. Blanton is one of the five all-wom­ en's dorm s on cam pus. There are likewise five all-male dorms. Jester Center is the only co-ed dorm on cam pus. ranging There is a price range in air condi­ tioned UT dorm s depending meal from $3,166 per plan, school year for a room and 20 meals per week, to $2,936 for a room and 10 meals per week. "T he food at Contessa was much better than at Blanton," she said, "an d Contessa w as co-ed, but I liked the all-girl dorm [Blanton]." UT does have some non-air-con­ ditioned rooms available, with pric­ es ranging from $2,862 a long ses­ sion for a room and 20 meals per week to $2,632 for a room and 10 meals per week. Single room s are available at the non-air-conditioned dorm s and run from $3,650 for the room and 20 meals to $3,420 for room and 10 meals. The composition of the dorm population at UT w as 55 percent freshmen, 23 percent sophom ores and the rest underclassm en and graduate students, said Daman of the Food and Housing Service. "T h e reason that m ost upper­ classmen m ove out of the dorm s is for more privacy and more living sp ace," Daman said. She said that in a survey taken of dorm residents, 86 percent said they would recommend living in a dorm to new students. She said some reasons they gave included the convienience of not having to cook and clean, and the absence of driving or transportation problems. The survey participants also said living in a dorm m ade them more fully a part of the UT experience, and they became more involved be­ cause they met friends easier. "W e feel if you live in the halls, you have a better chance of graduat­ in g ," Daman said.

At a College Houses Co-op you’re within 5 minutes walking dis­ tance of campus. You don’t have to waste time com­ muting or finding a parking place. We serve 17 meals a week. You don’t have to cook and clean everyday. You share in the labor, contribut­ ing 4 to 5 hours a week and work in teams. What was daily drudgery becomes fun. Rooms are furnished and larger than the average dorm room. Utilities are provided. And facilities like a swimming pool, sun-decks, computers, a dark room, etc. All this for a monthly rent considerably lower than comparable dorms. How do we do it? College Houses Co-ops are com­ pletely self-managed and student-run. No one makes a profit off us. We control our budget, decide rents and make policy — at meetings where each resident gets one vote. In the process we get valuable hands-on experience in management, accounting and mainte­ nance. We also learn to make friends and get along with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Students who choose or are forced to live off campus tend to live in neighborhoods near campus or adjacent to shuttle routes around the Austin area. As a result, there are several neighborhoods dominat­ ed by students. Here is a glimpse of some of these localities and what they have to offer. the ■ West Campus. An ideal choice for incoming student unac­ quainted with Austin who cannot or will not live in a dorm. Most com­ plexes are a 10-minute walk, or less, away from campus, and a student living in this neighborhood will be close to shopping and eating places of all varieties. With such conveni­ ences, demand for units in this area is tremendous, said Barbara Shel­ ton, leasing agent for Apartment Finders Service. Price ranges from $250 up for an efficiency unit, $300 and higher for a one-bedroom apartment. A typical price for a two-bedroom unit is $500 or higher. The price usually de­ pends on amenities offered. Nu­ merous student-run co-ops are also found in this area, as well as condo­ miniums. The numerous attractions include the very visible fraternity and soror­ ity houses. Directly to the west is Shoal Creek and Pease Park, which has a hiking trail and large picnic ■ North of Campus. A quiet area across the street from the Tarlton Law Library, it's home to many law students. Generally a one-bedroom unit can be had for $300 to $325 and a two-bedroom unit for $500 to $525. Most units are unfurnished. Within its confines lies Eastwood Park, which has a walking trail, bas­ ketball court, and facilities for picn­ ics. ■ Hyde Park. A heavily wooded area renowned for its small-town at­ mosphere. With the exception of main thouroughfares such as 38th and 45th Streets and the Hyde Park Baptist area during school hours, traffic is minimal. Pecan trees are abundant. Many apartment complexes in this area are small, with prices rang­ ing from $250 to $400 for a one-bed­ room and $450 to $550 for a two- bedroom, said Shelton. Duplexes are also available and for many units, all bills are paid. The attractions in Hyde Park in­ clude the namesake park on 44th Street and Avenue F, complete with playground, tennis courts, volley­ ball facilities and a flowing creek, and the Elisabet Ney Museum just east. The Intramural Fields are north, near 51st and Guadalupe street. ■ Riverside. Also known as "Apartment City." Three shuttle routes serve this area, which has ( (Living Well is the Best Revenge. - Baron Rothschild Live Well at ENGLISH AIRE Apartments Rent Specials* E fficiencies 1-1’s 2-2’s Townhouses Starting At: $199 $229 $299 $329 concentrate themselves in an area near Far West Boulevard and MoPac Expressway, served by the Far West shuttle route. The area is within walking distance of grocery stores and restaurants. Northcross Mall is about two miles away. The difference between Hyde Park (above) and West Campus condo- life is kind of obvious. some older complexes as well as some newer ones. The area is popu­ lar with undergraduates who look for more spacious units with lower rents than around the campus area. The newer apartment complexes, around Oltorf Street and Wickers- ham Lane as well as between Parker Lane and Interstate 35, charge $300 and up for a one-bedroom and as much as $600 for a two-bedroom unit, Shelton said. They offer many amenities generally not found in complexes closer to campus. Some contain ceiling fans and washer and dryer hookups. The older units on Burton Drive and near Town Lake generally run a bit less — as low as $299 for a two-bedroom unit—good for tight student budgets. The area consists of about 50 per­ cent students and 50 percent work­ ing people, Shelton said. She also said many units are unfurnished and that a two-bedroom unit costs between $400 and $500. One-bed­ room apartments are more than $250. They offer amenities found in the newer Riverside area apart­ ments. "Spaces are going fast, faster this year than last year," Shelton said. "Many places are charging $10 or more over last year.” The area is close to several shop­ ping centers and movie theaters, as well as a softball park and St. Ed­ ward's University. ■ Northwest Hills. The students Students of all levels populate this area, many older than average. ■ Northeast. Students also live in the area bounded by the Cameron Road shuttle route, which runs north on Interstate 35, east on Cam­ ino La Costa Drive and south on Cameron Road. The complexes in this area are generally unfurnished and a one-bedroom costs between $300 and $400. Across the freeway is Highland Mall, and there are sever­ al department stores and restau­ rants in this area. Directly south lies the airport. "Many in this area are law stu­ dents or older students," Shelton said. Many are also upper-class, she added. ■ Enfield Road. An old, presti­ gious neighborhood, it is west and southwest of campus off Enfield Road toward Lake Austin, Besides the lake, this area is very hilly and contains many hike and bike trails, as well as some of the oldest houses and mansions in Austin. Students who choose this area should expect to fork over some se­ TSP Staff Photos rious bucks. A two-bedroom unit generally costs about $600, Shelton said. She added that very few spac­ es are available. Most students in this area are older and for the most part, the neighborhood is quieter than the others. Other student neighborhoods in­ clude the area northeast of campus, which contains houses and some apartment complexes and is accesi­ ble by the Disch-Falk shuttle route, and complexes off South Lamar Boulevard, Anderson Lane, and William Cannon Drive. Many of these students are older and usually have their own transportation. Several factors should be pond­ ered before choosing a neighbor­ hood, such as noise level, conveni­ ences, type of neighbors wanted. The areas just described are the primarv areas for students, and each has its own unique per­ sonality. and *Minimum 9 month lease. (Shorter leases also available.)

The time has fínally come for you to leave home and create one of that new your own. For some, home will be in one of the many dorms located on or near campus. But for those who are a little more confident and adventurous, it will be in one of Austin's apartment or condominium complexes. Finding the place perfectly suited to your needs can be an overwhelm­ ing task, especially if you know little about Austin. There are literally hundereds of choices with every possible difference you could imag­ ine. If you are interested in finding a place with most of the comforts of home and with security and other students nearby, it does narrow your your list of choices considera­ bly. Following, is a look at some of these places here in Austin. Barton's Lodge Apartments, 3816 S. Lamar Blvd. are nestled in the hills of South Austin. One outstand­ ing feature of this particular com­ munity is the spectacular veiw of Barton Creek offered by many of the units. All apartments have washers and dryers as well as dishwashers, dis­ posals, icemakers and ceiling fans. Many of the units also have mi­ crowaves and fireplaces, so the transition from one home to another would be easy. Other features here include two pools, one Jacuzzi and 24-hour, on­ site security. And for all you die­ hard shoppers, Barton Creek Square is only minutes away. Another popular choice for stu­ dents in South Austin is Pinto Ridge Apartments at 2430 Cromwell Cir­ cle. Pinto Ridge apartments have fire­ places, ceiling fans, dishwashers, disposals and icemakers. The Olympic-size pool is beauti­ ful. There are also a Jacuzzi and bar­ becue grills for those who consider themselves outdoor chefs. Pinto Ridge is on a UT shuttle to route, which makes getting school for that 9 a.m. class easier. Bristol Square at 2336 Douglas St. is another South Austin apartment complex many students call home. The list of amenities here is im­ pressive. The apartments have fire- FMm Mm pbC6 pH1* ftctly uttfd to your mads caa be an over- ■ ■ ■ ta sk . W N I B P w MMVm w W W O I W W I places, drybars, washer and dryer connections and microwaves. If you had to leave the weight bench at home, don't worry; Bristol Square has an exercise room com­ plete with tanning bed. There is also a pool, Jacuzzi and sauna. Bristol Square is also on the shut­ tle route for easy access to the Uni­ versity. Moving north, you will find the Vineyard Apartments at 1044 Cami­ no La Costa. If security and comfort are im­ portant to you, you might want to take a look here. There is a card- activated secutity gate that allows only you and your guests entry into the complex. Once you're in, there is an intrusion alarm system in eve­ ry unit affording you complete se­ curity. All the units have dishwashers, ARE YOU MOVING? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AN APT.? WELL MOVE YOU FREE!!

The Vineyard is on the shuttle route and is practically across the street from Highland Mall. Just a few shuttle bus stops down from The Vineyard is The Trestles at 1071 Clayton Lane. Many students make their home here for obvious reasons. Most of the units have washers and dryers, and all have dishwash­ ers, disposals and icemakers.

But everybody has a dog or cat. Ferrets are too trendy, fish are too boring. Stand out from the crowd. Try something different. Consider: Rodents such as mice, gerbils, hamsters and rats can make good pets for students: They sleep while you're at class and are active &t night, just like you. You should buy a young rodent, ideally four to six weeks old. This is the age at which they are most likely to feel at ease with people. The rodent should be plump and have a shiny, smooth coat. Of the four rodents you might choose for pets, cute little mice are the ones whose cages must be cleaned most often — once or twice a week. (If you must know, this is because is extremely, uh, odorous.) Hamsters tend to be grouchy; a hamster owner must learn when not to bother it. Gerbils are friendlier than ham­ sters, and gerbil cages rarely get smelly. their urine Pet rats are the smartest and the friendli­ est of the four; if you can stand people's reactions when you tell them you have a rat, this might be the perfect pet for you. Most rodents cost less than $5 at a pet store. Rabbits and guinea pigs are friendly and cuddly. "Rabbits make great apartment pets, although they can be a bit destruc­ tive," said Gary Coffman, owner of Animal Treasures on South Lamar Boulevard. "You just have to teach them what they can and can't chew on." Get a rabbit when it is young, about eight weeks old. Look for a nice fat one with shi­ ny thick fur. Make sure it has neither runny eyes nor a runny nose. Rabbit pellets, sold in pet stores, are the most important part of a rabbit's diet. Carrots, lettuce, cabbage leaves and grass clippings are nice extras. Purchase baby guinea pigs when they are about a month old. Handle them as often as possible to get them used to being around a person. Guinea pigs are not as smart as rab­ bits, but they try. "Guinea pigs are the loudest of pets," said Coffman. "When they hear the refrigerator door open, they let you know you should be paying atten­ tion to them." Turtles and tortoises are good pets for a beginner: They're easy to please, simple to care for and inexpensive. When you go shopping for a turtle, look for one that is lively and pay close attention to how well it swims. Don't buy a sluggish turtle. Avoid turtles with swollen eyelids or with white patches of fungus on their skin. The best housing for a small turtle is a fish tank or large sturdy box. Remember that a turtle needs dry land for burrowing fnm, toads and sabanandars ara notthor affactlonato nor particularly totoHpont. Guinea pigs must have special guinea- pig pellets, which contain the extra Vitamin C they cannot produce on their own. Your guinea pig will also appreciate grass clipp­ ings or hay. Frogs, toads and salamanders are neither intelligent. affectionate nor particularly Toads can be trained to come when called. The most that can be said for frogs and sala­ manders is that some of them will learn to eat from your hand. Their virtue as pets is that they are safe, easy to care for, hardy and inexpensive. Most toads, frogs and salamanders are insect eaters. But a large bullfrog will eat a small bird, mouse or fish if it can catch it and get it into its mouth. A toad will enjoy some snails, slugs, and earthworms. One fun game to play with your amphibian is to put a piece of cat chow on the end of a broom straw and fly it around in front of Froggy. Watch Froggy leap. Meal worms and crickets can be pur­ chased from pet stores, but the cheapest and easiest way to feed a toad or frog is to put the terrarium outside. With a wire mesh on top and a light bulb inside, insects enter the cage but Froggy can't get out. and sunning as much as it needs water. The proportion of water to land depends on your specimen; for an aquatic turtle at least two-thirds of the total area should be water. The water in your terrarium must be deep enough for your turtle both to exer­ cize in and to play in, yet have shallow areas for basking. A log or rock should be provided for the turtle to crawl out on to loaf. Turtles must eat a balanced diet to be healthy. Aquatic turtles will eat meat, let­ tuce, canned dog food or even cat chow. Tortoises and land turtles will eat leafy veg­ etables, "fruit, mixed frozen vegetables, even cat food. This combined with com­ mercial turtle food (about $5 every few months) will keep Tippi happy. Snakes make undemanding pets. Like turtles, they live in semiaquatic or wood­ land terrariums. Snakes need a high-pro- tien diet: Small ones get daily doses of earthworms, crickets and other insects; large ones will want a juicy mouse, chick, toad or frog every other week or so. Garter snakes cost about $6 in a pet shop; exotic snakes can cost more than $100. Canaries and parakeets are pretty and easy to care for. Be sure to buy a healthy bird: Feathers should lie full and flat; eyes should be clear and alert; the bird should appear a bit nervous. A calm, passive bird may just be too weak to be frightened. Only the male canary sings. If you want a singing bird, get a guarantee in writing that your bird is male, because you can't tell by looking at it. For canaries and parkeets you need a medium-sized bird cage, about 18 inches high. Cages should be cleaned weekly. Parakeets cost $10-20; canaries run about $35 for females and twice that for males. Ant colonies are perfect for pet-hating West Campus apartment complexes. They aren't just for kids anymore, and it's easy to start your own. Find a gallon-sized glass or clear plastic jar with a tight lid. Put a wood­ en block or upside-down tin can in the mid­ dle of it, and surrounds the block or can with sandy soil. The soil should be damp and about half as high as the can. Put a damp sponge or a little pool of water on the can inside. Set the whole thing in a pan of water so your ants can't escape. Now take two small lidded jars and go find an ant pile. Put a bunch of ants and some of the ant-pile dirt into one of the jars (don't ever mix ants from different ant piles) and put the queen, the biggest ant, into the other jar. Put the ants and their queen into their new home, with some food scattered on the surface of the dirt. Wrap a piece of black paper or cloth around the jar for a few days, so the ants think they're underground, and put the jar in a shady spot. Unwrap the jar a few days later and you'll see all those cool tunnels and lots of ants running around in them. Rewrap the jar when you're not spying on them. Every few days add fresh food and refill the water dish. Some pets make landlords even more tense than they make moms By Christy Mo r a Now you've got the perfect pet. Where do you put it? UT family housing prohibits cats and dogs. Small fish are permitted. Birds, ger­ bils and hamsters must be caged and kept inside the apartment at all times. University residence halls and women's cooperative housing allow fish and not much else. "We don't encourage anything furry," said a housing-office employee. Off-campus residence halls such as the Castilian and Goodall Wooten do not allow pets other than fish and small, caged ani­ mals. "Reptiles would probably be all right. I've never had to kick anybody out" over an animal, said Robert Trent at The Bar- rone, a co-ed dormitory. Apartment complexes in the West Cam ­ pus area are strict about their no-pets poli­ cy. "It's in the contract that we can charge $10 per day for every day an animal is in there," said the manager of an apartment complex on nearby Rio Grande Street. "And we will deduct from the security de­ posit for shampooing and de-fleaing, even if the animal's just there for one d ay ." Many complexes north of campus will al­ low small (under 20 pounds) pets upon re­ ceipt of $100-150 refundable security. South of Town Lake, the student-dominate,d Riv­ erside area is the most open to pets: a $200 deposit, sometimes payable over a few months, will get your small dog a nice view of the lake at most complexes. Off-campus cooperative houses allow residents to set policy for each house. The Inter-Cooperative Council, which manages six co-ops, requires a $50 pet deposit, $25 of it non-refundable. Pets must be under 15 pounds and must be acceptable to your housemates. "This guy had a ferret and it was really obnoxious," said a former Taos resident. "It could crawl under door jambs. One time I found it on my turntable, on my favorite George Winston album. I almost killed it." Duplexes and houses are your best bet for finding a dog-sized fenced yard. Try driving around north of cam pus, in the Hyde Park area, for cozy yet costly cot­ tages. The closer to the airport, the lower the rent. Rents are also lower east of 1-35. Most landlords won't require a separate pet deposit, but you will be liable for any pet damage. TAKiMfo "Th e. c a t l b T h e . V e t : , . T h e . c a t Vs .

Call 476-7721 or go to the Austin utility office at 701 W. Fifth St. and tell them you need a hookup and give them your address. If you have had water or electric service before in Austin, they will ask you questions about your billing If you haven't had a history. hookup before, all they need is your driver's license number and your Social Security number. Same-day service is offered if you call or go in before noon. After noon it costs $10, or you can wait until the next day. There is no deposit for first-time customers; otherwise, the deposit is based on your billing history and size of your apartment or house. Average deposits for an apartment range from $40 to $70. The first step in getting a phone line installed is buying or renting a phone, because Southwestern Bell does not provide them. the Call the phone company at 870- 5512 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and have information following ready: your complete address, reg­ istration numbers of the equipment you will be using (this does not ap­ ply to single-line customers), the type of basic or optional service you want, how you would like your directory listing to appear, your pri­ mary long distance company where Easy Access Dialing is available, in­ formation about your previous tele­ phone service if you have had a hookup before, and credit informa­ tion, including employment. To get residential service you must establish "satisfactory credit." There are several ways to establish credit. One way is to show that you have been a residential customer of a tele­ phone company within the past two years, that you do not owe the pre­ vious company anything, you were not late paying your bill more than once during the last 12 consecutive months of service and that you were never disconnected for not paying your bill. Another way is to show with a credit card or letter of credit that you have a satisfactory credit rating, or you can have someone write a letter that guarantees they will pay your bill if you cannot. If you cannot do any of the above, then you can pay a deposit. The amount of the deposit is based on your estim ated annual billing, which they arrive at by asking ques­ tions about your usage. When your service is disconnect­ ed or after you have paid for tele­ phone service for 12 consecutive months without being disconnected for non-payment or being late on There ere severe! ways to c (tamed creflt. more than two bills, your deposit is refunded. The refund includes in­ terest in the form of cash or credit to your bill, or Southwestern Bell will void your letter of guarantee. There are lots of options offered for an additional charge, such as call waiting, three-way, call forwarding and economy service. Touch-tone dialing also costs extra. Normally it takes two days to get your service hooked up, but during the late summer when students re­ turn to Austin it can take up to a week. To get your gas hooked up call Southern Union Gas at 477-6461, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. When you call, they will look up the billing history of the address where you want service to deter­ mine the amount of your deposit. The deposit depends on the units of gas used by the previous customer; usually it is between $50 and $150. After 12 months of prompt pay­ ment, Southern Union will return your deposit plus 6 percent interest. A service representative will hook up your service on the weekday af­ ter you call. Someone older than 16 must be at the residence to let the service person in. To get important that-ever-so cable hookup (yes, you guessed it) call Austin CableVision at 448-1000 to set up a date for installation. You will have to pay a refundable $25 equipment deposit when they install your cable, and you will be charged $15 for installation on your first bill unless you have it installed during one of CableVision's fre­ quent promotions. If you have a cable-ready TV with 112 or more channels, you do not need a channel selector. You will still have pay $25, which will go toward the $15 installation fee with the remaining $10 going toward your first bill. A CableVision representative will come to your house from 8 a.m. to noon or noon to 5 p.m ., and if you give a number where you can be reached the representative will call before coming so someone over 18 can let him in. The basic rate for a 12-channel hookup is $9.95 a month, and a 43- channel hookup costs $15.95 a month. The first premium channel costs $10.50 per month, the second costs $8.50, and the remainder are $6.50 each. COMNGM SEPTEMBER: the I flNGWHW LHM RRiV Footbal Preview... Sopt.17ln The M y Texan.

Organizations can help students avoid trouble vMtii landlords T h e Da il y TEXAN/August 1988/Pag« 13E By M n MCkSM looking Incoming students to lease an apartment rather than live through the hell of dorm life should be forewarned that with an apart­ ment you get a landlord. Fortunately, there are people and organizations who will help stu­ dents avoid trouble of the landlord sort and provide assistance if such trouble rears its ugly head. The UT Students' Attorney's off­ ice provides advice and counsel to students having legal problems with landlords. The Austin Tenants Council is a non-profit, private corporation that, among other things, will provide counseling, advice and non-legal landlord help problems. All of their counselors are trained to deal with legal problems between rentors and landlords. to people having UT Students' Attorney Mitchell Solomon said the most important thing students can do when renting an apartment is to read the lease. "Most of the problems occur be­ cause students don't read the con­ tracts," he said. "Make sure the contract has no blanks. Students should make sure it's for the time period that they know they will be there." In other words, don't sign a 12- month lease if you are only going to be there nine months. New apartment renters should also know there is no grace period in which the renter can change the terms of the contract or back out af­ ter he has signed the lease, Solomon said. Students need to get a copy of the contract signed by the landlord and keep it for future reference, he said. In fact, renters need to get a writ­ ten copy of all agreements with the landlord and keep those records, he said. "Students should never agree to any oral modifications" to their con­ tract, Solomon said. One important way to avoid trou­ ble with a landlord is to communi­ cate quickly and clearly with him or her, George Stone of the Austin Tenants Council said. 'Ntost si tts proHsmi DntwMR m flonb em! sturiMts] occur becebsg ttMtonts don't read the conn en — OT Students' Attorney M ttcM Solomon "You don't let problems drag ou t," he said. If you find a problem with your apartment, or one develops after you move in, contact the landlord immediately and follow the initial contact with a written request for action. On moving into an apartment, one of the first things to do is fill out a damage checklist, usually provid­ ed by the landlord. If the landlord does not provide one, Solomon's office will. The checklist is a way for renters to avoid being charged for already existing damage, and to have a record of the already existing dam­ age. This is to protect your security deposit — the hundred or so bucks you had to put down before moving in or paying any rent at all. The checklist should be thorough, detailing any damage in the apart­ ment. A good idea is to have the land­ lord go through the apartment with you at move-in time, or, if he won't, have a friend who won't be living with you there as a witness, Stone said. Carpet stains, cracks in the walls, nail holes and any other visible damage should be recorded and the complete list given to the landlord to sign. The renter should keep a copy of the damages and have a re­ ceipt for the copy he gave the land­ lord, Stone said. process should be repeated when you move out, Stone said. Accord­ ing to Solomon, some apartment managers tell students that if a checklist is not filled in within 48 hours, they cannot turn the list in. "That is simply not true," he said. While students should try to get the checklists in on time, if they spot a problem that they missed while going over the checklist the first time, they can tell the manager about it and have it put on the checklist. The landlord is not required to take the renter's word the damage was left by a previous tenant, Solo­ mon said. But if court action ensues, a writ­ ten notification of damage can help convince the judge of the renter's point of view, he said. Before a student renter decides to take his landlord to court, there are other actions he should take, Solo­ mon said. First, try to talk to the landlord to try to solve the problem. "Documentation is certainly the most important thing," he said. The If that doesn't work, use a media­ tor service that will provide an inde­ pendent counselor to work out dif­ ferences between the two sides. The Tenants Council provides such a service. Should legal action become neces­ sary, the students' attorney's office will help students decide what ac­ tion to take, Solomon said. Students can come in between 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. and sign up for a time to discuss the problems. Students should bring all written documents concerning their lease with them. The students' attorney's office will provide advice on how to pur­ sue legal action, Solomon said. If Solomon does not think the stu­ dent can handle the problem alone and has a strong case, he will repre­ sent the student in court. Students, however, must pay the court costs, $7 to file in small claims court and $25 to serve each defend­ ant to force them to come to court. Some students may * get those court costs waived if they are de­ clared too poor to pay the costs by the court. Solomon will help stu­ dents with that legal step as well.

A good one can be a friend in need, a partner in crime, or just a godsend. Unfortunately, federal law tends to prohibit shoot­ ing the bad ones. As a result, bad room m ates proliferate like the cock­ roaches, kicked out of one habitat and waiting for another to invade. A lthough any m atching of hum an beings lends itself to inexact (and hardly scientific) experim entation, a few grains of com m on sense will help make the search for a room ­ m ate as painless as possible. There are three ways to go about finding a cohabitator. You can have an apartm ent or house and need a room m ate, you can be hom eless and need both a room and a room ­ m ate, or you can find a room m ate and worry abcut accom m odations later. According to B.J. Taylor, ow ner of Living A rrangem ents Roommate Referral, m ost students go the first or second route, while the third way is easier. Students expecting to find a dom ­ icile and then a room ate run the risk of getting stuck w ith paym ents on the first w ithout help from the sec­ ond, Taylor said. “If they need a room m ate, they'll need som eone signing on the bottom line with them ," she said. M anagem ent com­ panies usually do not care w hether you have found a room m ate w hen the first of the m onth rolls around. If, however, you are locked into a lease w ithout a roomie or lacking both, the same rules generally apply as to those starting from scratch. How to find unm atched people in the same boat as yourself: Read and write. The Texas Union Building that comes has a bulletin board complete with room m m ate an ­ nouncem ents. For free, you can ad ­ vertise all you w ant (or as m uch as a 3x5 index card can hold) for the ide­ al roommate. If brow sing for other kindred souls, you can usually tell with a glance at each index card lo­ cation, w hat the rent will be, am eni­ ties, utilities, pet policy, smoking policy and other personal priorities. Or you can pay some money and take out a classified ad. The Daily Texan and the Austin American- include room m ate Statesman both classified listings. Most of the list­ ings are for those w ho already have a place to live and need som eone to share it. If you don't feel like look­ ing for a place yourself, it's always nice to have one chosen for you. Last, you can pay even more m oney and have som eone find your room m ate for you. Living Arrange­ m ents, which has been in business for three years, will take the search out of your hands for $40, but you will still have to make the final choice. For those w ho are uncom ­ fortable with interview ing (or inter­ rogating) prospective housing part­ ners, the service will speed things up. “Some people are very socially coy about asking certain questions," Taylor said. room m ates, Taylor stresses compatability for asking prospective smoking about age, occupation, habits, drug use and general life­ style. “I'm using that inform ation for a referral," she said. The more options one leaves open as far as having a place or needing a place, the m ore likely a m atch will be, she said. The resident room m ate experts on cam pus, the Division of H ousing and Food Service, use a remarkably simple formula and a little com puter help for people matching. Of course, the division allows friends to request rooms together, and if you had a friend w ith w hom to share, you probably would not be looking for a room m ate. Residents for a given dorm are as­ signed by sex (not surprising som e­ how), w hether they sm oke or object to those w ho do, classification and major. The idea is to keep like per­ sons together. O pposites may at­ tract, but w ho w ants to take a chance on them trashing their living quarters during a brawl. The division — even with its bare- bones approach — has a good repu­ tation for its m atches. Take their considerations as a starting point and go from there. Dorm residents w ho thoroughly despise each other have the luxury of transferring to another room. T hat's an option you probably will not have, especially if you sign your nam e on a six or nine m onth dotted line. With a couple of leads in hand, you and your prospective room ­ m ate will then get to interview each other. Use com mon sense. First im­ pressions should not be a deciding factor, but som eone w ho im m edi­ ately offends you will probably not be any more agreeable six m onths dow n the line. “ If you use just com­ m on care, you can usually sift out the ones you w ant," Taylor said. Living A rrangem ents also checks hom e and work phone num bers to verify dependability and em ploy­ m ent, she said. M atchmaking is an art at best and frustrating at worst. If good friends m ade good room m ates or vice ver­ sa, this would be easy. C onsider it a challenge. Many suggest having both lease room m ates sign any agreem ent, so each feels an equal obligation to the partnership. O n the other hand, leases can be diffi­ cult to break and lead to tension w hen one person w ants out of an iron-clad agreem ent. Utility arrangem ents are another bugaboo. Decide early w ho will be responsible for w hat bills and make sure they get paid. If the utilities are in your name, be sure you and the room m ate agree on climate control and long-distance telephone use. Telephone locks are encouraged for those with room m ates tem pted to call Australia during peak hours. Roommate contracts clearly spell­ ing out each partner's duties are of­ ten encouraged to guard against ar­ bitrary their ensuing If one person never argum ents. cleans the kitchen or takes out the trash while the other feels obligated to do so, tension inevitably builds. rules and O ne last word of advice: If for some reason things do not work out, check all your contractual obli­ gations before you move. Receiving a $400 phone bill six weeks after m oving or finding out you have no security deposit refund coming should be grounds for justifiable homicide, but there's no reason to risk it. “I’m confused...

You're a college stud ent now and you w ant this new place of yours to be a great hangout. a re so m e T h ere im p o rta n t thoughts to keep in m ind w hen your are furnishing this hot, swin- gin' domicile. First, decide w hat you like and then decide how much m oney you can spend. If you are like m ost college stu­ dents, m oney can be a problem. D on't let that discourage you be­ cause there are m any ways to de­ corate a dorm room, apartm ent, condom inium or even a co-op room cheaply and tastefully. The key to decorating cheaply is simplicity. Some students carry this to an extrem e and leave their walls blank. Of course, this is the cheap­ est but not the m ost appealing. You m ight w ant to consider paint. Paint is w onderful because it covers up rem nants of previous oc­ cupants' green checked or fuzzy walls. O ne easy, fast, and inexpensive way to cover those bare walls is to spraypaint them . Strange as this may sound, you can tell friends you actually have a "graffiti them e" to your room. So you can save yourself some work and have your friends add their favorite sayings to your wall. Paint can be a very sticky topic if your dorm or apartm ent doesn't w ant you to use it. If that's the case, then improvise. Sheets, although they seem to have only one purpose, can be used for decorative purposes. Covering a wall with a funky-looking sheet that m atches the color of your bedspread brings unity to an otherw ise boring, drab dorm room. O f course, steer d e a r of those fitted sheets; they can be som ew hat tacky. Plants are useful in portraying the "Safari look." If you have a green thum b and you love nature, this is a prom ising idea. But be careful: Many stores charge an arm and a leg for grown plants. Grow them yourself and save the money. For guys the possibilities are end­ less. Beer memorabilia are pretty com m on and can be found in most cam pus stores. You can also collect advertisem ents from old Daily Tex­ ans — it's totally free. And if worse comes to worst, then bring on reliable the old, posters (they're usually on sale about this time of year). Buying posters with particular them e, w hether it's men, w om en or fuzzy little kittens can also do the trick. For the guys, how ever, posters can serve a purpose besides looking pleasant: covering up extremely ugly, large holes that magically ap­ pear after a wild party. A round Septem ber all the 1988 calendars are m arked 80 percent off. Just grab a few of these babies, slap them on the wall and you're set. In lieu of a frame, you can outline them with a black magic marker, and it will only cost you about 39 cents. You can make yourself feel popular and have all your friends sign the wall. (This can be tricky. Most freshm an make the mistake of filling in all the blank spaces them ­ selves. If you try this, be sure and d o n 't use the same color of marker, use widely recognized nam es like Marilyn M onroe, and change your handw riting each time.) LIVE NEXT DOOR TO CAMPUS!

Kids in commercials live on the stuff, but in the real world, the hor­ rid slime is enough to activate any­ one's gag reflex. ■ Clowns. Com e on, adm it it. You hate the garish, egocentric freaks. Everyone just pretends to like them , but behind their backs people make fun of them and hide their shoes. ■ Mimes. These fall in the same general category as clowns, but they have an extra need to annoy you and give you things that aren 't real. ■ Instant coffee. If it's weak, it's like brow n crayon dipped in hot w a­ ter. If it's strong, it's m ore sour than vinegar. If it's just right, it's just bad. ■ Rice Krispies. They have no taste. They have no w eight. They have no nutritional value (except the eight essential vitam ins added as an afterthought). The texture m akes eating them similar to biting m aggots (there, if you d id n 't hate them before, you will now never be able to put them near any orifice). ■ Nougat. Does anyone know w hat this stuff is m ade from? It ■ Chicken McNougats. This stuff is m ade from that same unidentifi­ able substance. But, like everything else that people really shouldn't eat (armadillo, jellyfish, lizard, etc.), it tastes like "kind of like chicken." ■ Velveeta.

It will probably be the first time for you — renting a place to live, I mean. We, UNITED RENTERS ASSOCIATION, inform you about some facts you need to know before signing your lease: 1 Landlords provide a product and service to a customer (the renter). Some landlords try to provide a good product and service, while others do not. The bottom line is simple. All landlords are in the rental housing business to make money! Their main interest is to make as much money as possible. Therefore,' landlords hardly ever place the welfare of their renters above their own. To better understand this - read your lease. 2 The URA’s purpose: To unite renters throughout Texas for the purpose of improving and safeguarding the renters rights, plus to provide worthwhile services and benefits to URA Associates as a large group. 3 URA is the only organization formed for the purpose stated above. In the past renters did not have an organization which was dedicated to serve their needs as renters. 4 URA will lobby at the local and state level of government on behalf of renters. Some issues URA will be lobbying on are: — RENT CONTROL — SECURITY DEPOSIT PROTECTION. — IMPROVED APARTMENT COMPLEX SECURITY. — IMPROVE LEGAL RIGHTS OF RENTERS. Please take 2 minutes of your time to fill out this form & mail it to us. You'll receive FREE some more information helpful to you — and your parents. Thank you, and good luck! Sincerely, Wm.

It’s time to get sophisticated. By There's som ething different about touring a winery. "If you know what Coors beer tastes like, then you've got a fair idea what Coors beer tastes like," explains Ed Auler, ow ner and winemaker at Fall Creek vineyards near Tow. But wine is something else alto­ gether, which is probably why win­ eries offer tours, Auler said. "Europeans established the tradi­ tion of taking people on tours, and I think part of that originated simply out of the fact that wine is not a stat­ ic thin g," Auler said. "E ach vintage is different from the o th ers." What more pleasant way to spend a slow Saturday afternoon that to drive to a local winery or two and sample a vintage — or two? And once back in town, there's nothing like casually mentioning, as you pour a glass for friends, that you "picked it up at the w inery." Californians don't have a m onop­ oly on these little pleasures of life; the Texas Department of Agricul­ ture lists six wineries or tasting rooms within an easy day's drive of Austin. A call to the departm ent at 463-7624 will bag you a free pam ­ phlet on Texas wines that includes specific directions to the wineries. A trip west to the Fredricksburg area might include visits to Fall Creek, Oberhellman, or Cypress Valley wineries — especially inter­ esting to tour because they have their own vineyards. With careful planning and plenty of gasoline you could visit all three in one day. But take note: The ex­ travagance of a triple-crown winerv tour in this area is not reallv recom ­ mended except for ardent fans of not only wineries, but of driving. Each of these three is over half an hour from its neighbor. To that, add the fact that a nice, relaxed tour can take up to an hour, and the undeni­ able truth is that even tasters of the grape have to eat lunch sometime. Located about 2.2 miles northeast of Tow in highway 2231, the Fall Creek winery is open for tours the last Saturday of every' m onth, Janu­ ary through October. The tasting room is open every Saturday during the same period from noon to 5 p.m . Tours are free, but those desir­ ing a taste must be 21 years old. Wines can be bought on the prem ­ ises. For more information, call the Austin office at 476-4477. Bob Oberhellman is the owner and winemaker at Oberhellman Vineyards, just 14 miles north of Fredricksburg on highway 16. Tours and tastings are every half-hour from 10 a.m . to 4 p.m . on Saturdays from May to mid-December. Again, no admission is charged but tasters must be of legal drinking age. Wine is sold on the premises; for more in­ formation, call (512) 685-3297. A n o th er Cypress Valley Winery, just off H am ilton Pool Road betw een Cypress Mill and Round Mountain, is owned by Dale and Penny Bettis. Free tours and tastings are offered on Saturdays from 10 a.m . to 5 p.m . except in January and February. Wine is sold on the premises. For information, call (512) 825-3333. th ree w ineries are clustered southwest of Austin; this trio can be toured quite easily in one day. The Wimberly Valley tasting room is just a few miles southwest of Austin, near Wimberly. And the G uadalupe w inery and M oyer Cham pagne C om pany both make their home in the New Braunfels area. None of these establishments have vineyards on the premises. W imberly Valley W ines ow ns the W im berly Valley W inery, with its tasting room on FM 12 about 10 miles w est of San M arcos. No tours are given, but the tasting room is open on w eekends and holidays from 10 a.m . to 5 p.m . Call (512) 669-2440 for more inform ation. Larry and Donna Lehr own the G uadalupe Valley W inery at 1720 H unter Rd. in New Braunfels. There are no vineyards at the w in­ ery; the w inem aking is done in a re­ stored cotton gin that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Adm ission to the w inery is 50 cents per person; children under ten get in free. Tours are given from noon to 5 p.m . Saturdays and Su n ­ days during the sum m er, and the first Saturday of each month Sep ­ tem ber through May. Tours also are available by appointm ent for groups over ten people.

This is a ready, really tacky lamp. You can conserve more energy than you can imagine simply by throwing it out the window. How to reduce those evil, nasty utility bids By Aprl Eubanks To a large extent there isn't much renters can do about the energy inefficiencies in apartments or hous­ es that cause high utility bills. But there are some things that can be done relatively easily and cheap­ ly to save energy, and more import­ ant to most people, save money. Air conditioning ■ Set the thermostat for 78 de­ grees. (For every degree you raise your thermostat, you save 5 to 8 percent on your bill.) If you have a window unit with no visible ther­ mostat, put a thermometer some­ where in the room. ■ Turn the system off when leav­ ing for more than an hour or two. ■ Fans can help keep you cool at higher thermostat settings and use about the same energy as a light- bulb. Window fans can be used in­ stead of the air conditioner when the weather is cooler, like at night. ■ Check the accuracy of the ther­ mostat with a thermometer. If it is inaccurate the system could be stay­ ing on longer than necessary. Put­ ting appliances that give off heat near the thermostat can also cause it to run longer than necessary. ■ Try to use appliances that give off heat, such as the hair dryer and oven, during the cooler parts of the day. ■ Humidity makes the air seem warmer, so do chores that add moisture to the air — like washing clothes, dishes or floors — during cooler parts of the day. ■ Pull shades or curtains during the day. Heating ■ If you have central heating, set the thermostst for 65 to 68 degrees during the day and 50 to 60 degrees at night. thermostat down ■ Turn the when you leave. ■ If you have radiators, keep them clean because dirt absorbs heat. ■ Adjusting the steam or hot wa­ ter valve only puts strain on pipes; it does not regulate heat. Turn it all the way on. If it is too hot, then turn it off until the temperature of the room is comfortable. ■ Hot water radiators should be full of water in order to work effi­ ciently. ■ Hot water radiators should be purged of trapped air using the bleeder valve. ■ Steam radiators have air vent valves that allow air to escape so steam can enter. They should point straight up and be kept free of dirt and paint. * ■ Pull curtains on all windows at night and on those facing north dur­ ing the day. Uncover all windows that receive direct, warming sun­ light; eastern in the morning, west­ ern in the evening and southern during all daylight hours. ■ Cover window air conditioning units so they will not let in drafts. ■ Humi di t y makes air feel warmer. You can use a room humi­ difier or place a shallow pan of wa­ ter on radiators or near air ducts to add moisture to the air. Water ■ Take showers instead of baths; a five-minute shower uses only about half as much water as a bath. ■ Water-saver shower heads are inexpensive and can be screwed on to an existing shower arm. They can reduce the flow of water by 40 to 60 percent. ■ Fix faucets. Get your landlord to do it, or do it yourself with a low-cost faucet repair kit available at hardware stores. leaky ■ Electric heating of water can ac­ count for 20 percent per year of elec­ tricity used in a home. Reducing the temperature setting to 120 can help save electricity. Also, use cold water whenever possible and insulate the tank with insulation inexpensive blankets. Lighting ■ Turn off the lights when no one is in the room. ■ Use daylight for activities re­ quiring strong lighting and keep windows clean to let in as much light as possible. ■ Place lamps where they are needed, like on desks, so you do not have to light up the whole room. light. Also, ■ Light-colored shades instead of dark or heavy decorative ones let in more lighter-colored walls, curtains and rugs reflect light and reduce the amount of artificial light needed in a room. ■ Use lower wattage bulbs in areas where strong light is not need­ ed, like hallways, and use one high­ er wattage bulb rather than several lower wattage bulbs. For example, it takes six 25-watt bulbs to produce the same amount of light produced by one 100-watt bulb, and the six 25-watt bulbs use 50 percent more electricity. ■ Long-life bulbs are more expen­ sive and less efficient than standard bulbs of the same wattage. ■ Fluorescent lighting, although usually more expensive, produces three to four times as much light as incandescent bulbs and lasts 10 to 15 times longer. ■ Dimmer switches on lamps and wall switches reduce the energy going to incandescent bulbs, and some need little or no installation.

Price If you stop and think about it, the case for living alone makes itself. For instance, if you have a room­ mate, you've probably encountered a scenario similar to this: You come home tired from a long day of work­ ing or shopping, or even studying, and all you want to do is relax, crack a cold one, put your feet up and let the combination of alcohol and Aus­ tin CableVision numb your brain. But you can't because your room­ mate is performing a primitive and probably illegal mating ritual with your de facto third roommate (who doesn't pay rent) on the very couch where you so badly want to park your own buns. Or maybe you've been through this: It's finals time. After much inner reflection, you decide that you're not ready to flunk out of school yet. So in an unprecedented move, you begin to study. Make that cram. You are scared, tired, disorganized and not at all sure that your frantic activity is going to change your fate one bit — except that it might kill you and make your planned suicide attempt irrelevant. To make matters worse, you have an audience. Your roommate, who has always had an annoying habit of comparing his good study habits to your non-existent ones, suddenly turns into the Unbearably Smug Creature from Hell. While he makes a big point out of brushing up on his trig, you strug­ gle to remember what a percentage is and how to arrive at it. While he puts the finishing touches on his 50- page treatise on the Reformation and legacy, you're busy highlighting some library books you found on our friend the cucumber. While he gloats, you waste time planning his grisly demise. its The worst part of all such anguish is that almost none of it is neces­ sary. You moved away from Hous­ ton or Lubbock or Old Dime Box so you wouldn't have to answer to anyone, right? So quit messing around with these geeks and get a place of your own. OK, now that we've established what a loner you are, there are some minor details that have to be worked out. First off, you have to get yourself a lot of money. The big­ gest drawback to living alone is that you have to pay for the privilege. And pay, and pay, and pay. There's almost no getting around that stipulation. Sure, you might luck out and find a cheap place. There are cheap apartments and houses out there. But most of them are already taken, and it takes quite a bit of looking and asking around to find them. Most of the really Your roommate, who has always hid an an- ■ a a a a a l a a a a I ^ I J M t m o t comp i1- a s a a a a a a a a s a a tag Ha gasi study habits to yaur nan-ttdstaut lute ths Unbearably Sh w i Creature from Hal. good ones are handed down from friend to friend and seldom appear in the classifieds or on any bulletin boards. That doesn't mean don't look for them — just don't count on one showing up. If you are of modest means, then there's another stipulation — get rid of your pet(s). If you were sappy enough to pity that poor cocker spaniel in your local newspaper's cute-pet-to-be-exterm inated-this- week-unless-som ebody-adopts-it column, then you'd better pawn if off on some poor unsuspecting friend or relative. Even if you can find a place that takes pets, you're going to need a small fortune to pay the deposit. Also keep in mind that that Mittens or Patches or little Snuggles is prob­ ably going to view your apartment as one big scratching postflitterbox/ playground. And your landlord is going to view that dimly when it comes time for you to move out and get your deposit back. Whether you have a roommate or not, there's one thing no tenant should be without — paranoia. Even if your landlord or lady is a good friend, remember that the renter-rentee relationship is ulti­ mately a business one. Before you sign anything, call the Better Busi­ ness Buearu and ask friends about the landlord you're dealing with. Once you move in, keep your records in something approaching order. That sounds real simple, but just try to find time for it while you're also trying to juggle a job and 12 or 15 hours. Just keep in mind the old saying about the price of liberty being eter­ nal vigilance and everything will be fine. You'll be able to kick back and enjoy just how fine things are at the end of a long day while you crack that cold one and watch Dirty Danc­ ing for the Uth time because there's nothing else on cable. It won't matter though, because you'll get to watch it all by yourself. Page 26E/THE DAILY TEXAN/August 1988 W W i W t i l t i l l l l t n m i t n i i 1.1. I .1 .| .1. | 1 . 1 .

That's why every college sur­ vival kit must include one thing: a roommate. Roommates serve as invaluable tools and come in handy in count­ less situations. Keep this in mind if you are even entertaining the thought of living alone. Roommates are practical. At the least, a room­ mate — or two or three — will ease your financial burdens. This month's $200 electric bill hits less hard when it's split. Same for Ma Bell's monthly correspondence. Roommates contribute all sorts of amenities to yopr dorm/apartment/ condo. And if you're extremely lucky, your roommate will own ev­ erything you don't — anything from a microwave or VCR to the right color socks to match that new shirt. Running low on cash? Out of checks? A generous roomie will grant you a loan. And if you lend yours some money in return, don't worry about getting it back — after all, you know where they live. Roommates are useful. When you leave your place, your room­ mate transforms into your own pri­ vate secretary. This is especially im­ portant if you don't have an answering machine. When you're not home when you're supposed to be, a good roomie will tell Mom you're at the library. And when you are home, count on your roommate to screen those unwanted phone calls. Like the ones from that geeky guy in your physiology class who wants to collaborate on the labwork. Besides secretarial work, room­ mates perform other services. What could be better than free advice and psychoanalysis around the dock? No one knows you better than the people you live with. And besides, you can lie on your own couch. Roommates also provide you with a built-in wake-up service — a godsend when your alarm clock picks the morning of your 9 a.m. fi­ nal to break. it whole aparto tnWt Ms tuna fish he- causa no one put yester­ day's lunch dram the db- posal. to worry. A roommate with a car can double as your own taxi service. ■ ■ ■ Roommates make good scape­ goats. When things go wrong, take the easy way out — blame your roommate/roommates. This tactic is especially helpful when: ■ The elec­ tricity gets turned off because every­ one was too lazy to check the mail and get the bill. ■ You need to sho­ vel clothes and books to clear a pathway from the bedroom to the hallway because your place looks as if a cyclone hit. ■ Ants have decided to make your home their home be­ cause no one vacuumed after last night's back-to-school bash. ■ The whole apartment smells like tuna fish because no one put yesterday's lunch down the disposal. Roommates are fun. OK, every­ one needs privacy, but solitude gets boring after awhile. The nicest thing about roommates is that they are your friends (and if you don't con­ sider your roommate to be a friend, maybe you don't have the right roommate). W in CO M M BfuSP than Ires mMh sinI On deck? So when you don't get your class­ es at departmental, the professors you do nave speak no English and an endless line of dragworms hound you for loose change on your way home from the first day of class, you can rest easy knowing there'» someone at home to listen to you complain. If you're in a sticky situation, a roomie will bail you out. Picture this: You've left your date, wasted out of control, on Sixth Street at 4 a.m. and you can't find a taxi. Not My last piece of advice to you is to treat your roomie well. And if you ever think about moving out to Uve on your own, remember that old saying: One is a lonely number. Why pay pent?' Campus provides plenty of places to sleep, eat and bathe without actually owning a home *;:- f T h e D a il y TEXAN/August 1988/Page 27E Hey kid. Yeah, you with the suit­ case and the dazed look on your f a * . You're a new student, right? Need a place to live, d o n 't you? Did you know you could live right here on cam pus? No, I d o n 't m ean in a dorm , you twit. I m ean on campus. And best of all, you can make mon­ ey doing it. Tell you w hat to do. Tell your u n ­ suspecting parents that you need, say, 300 buckaroos for an apart­ ment. Then you get to keep the dough while you hang out on the ol' 40 Acres. W hat other place could you live that's got three swim m ing pools and your own football stadium ? So here's w hat you do. Be sure to get at least one locker in Gregory Gym. Maybe get one of your unath- letic-type friends to get you an extra one. Keep all your clothes in your lock­ er. Take show ers there. Work out there. Make friends there. Think of it as "your place." After all, you live there. You can do laundry at any of the if you decide you really dorm s, need to. But hey, since you'll have so much extra money, just go to the sportsw ear shop in the stadium any time you need new clothes. Now for food. Again, you can get Mum and Pop to get you on a meal plan, and you'll never have to go w ithout Jell-O again. O r you can get all the burgers, pizza and ice cream you can stand at the Union. After all, that's w here all you freshm en eat anyw ay, right? (But be sure you do m ore than just take show ers in the gym.) As far as shopping goes, every­ thing you need to keep yourself clean and healthy and in notebook paper is available at either Jester store or the Pharmacy. And really, you d o n 't need m uch, since the University is supplying all your toi­ let paper and hand soap. As far as keeping yourself enter­ tained, you have got the hom e en ­ tertainm ent center to beat all hom e entertainm ent centers. W ho else has four or five movie theatres, a video store, and two live band ven­ ues at home? You even have your ow n popcorn machine, and som e­ one else to make it for you, too. Now sooner or later you're gonna have to go to the library. No, not to study, silly, to sleep. There are couches all over the place, and no one will think twice about som eone sacked out in the li­ brary. And at night, see, there are those little group study rooms. Go in and lie dow n right before they close up, use your backpack for a pillow, no problem . Just figure out the m ainte­ nance schedules and alternate floors so you d o n 't wake up an d find yourself facing the business end of a vacuum cleaner. This is probably the biggest — er, the only — drawback to this living- on-cam pus plan. But it's all in how you look at it, see? Think of the ad­ in venture and variety seeking out new places to crash, ex­ ploring new ways to avoid getting caught by the m aintenance work­ ers, BOLDLY SLEEPING WHERE NO PERSON HAS SLEPT BE­ FORE!! (You knew that was coming, right.) involved There are a few other m inor has­ sles, but they're also easily over­ come. W hen your parents come to visit, just tell them you live at Jester, and they w o n 't want to come visit your place. M aking phone calls is no prob­ lem. Receiving calls is som ething else. You can give som eone a pay phone num ber and say, "call me at exactly two o'clock," then hang out by that phone and give dirty looks to anyone that might walk up. For mail, get a P.O. box at the post office. This is even better than a street address. P.O. boxes are very grow n-up and sophisticated. OK. Now the thing you really are concerned about. T here's no use in denying it — it's the forem ost thing on all students' m inds. U h-huh. W e're talking a b o u t... dating. Now you m ight think this will be aw kw ard, not having a real bed, uh, place, of your own. But w hy limit yourself to the same kind of conven­ tional boring experiences that ev­ eryone else has to suffer through? Remember, you're an unconven­ tional kind of person w ho w ouldn't w ant to subject a date to the sam e old thing. Just imagination cut loose, and you'll soon find that UT is ripe w ith wonderful and exciting places to take a date. let your The Union balcony at night. The darkened stairway of the Main Building. U nder the stadium . The stacks of some of the lesser-used li­ braries. The roof of a certain build­ ing. See? With the right frame of m ind, the possibilities are endless. Trust me, your date will be im ­ pressed. And condom s are available at the Health Center. So there you have it, kid. You'll never have to do dishes or clean a toilet again. And you'll be one of the few people to graduate from UT w ho w on't be up to their necks in debt. Welcome to UT, kid. It's truly ... your university.

Chances are you're 18, away from Mom and Dad for the first time and ready to party. Don't worry. Knowingly or not, you've just enrolled in a university that sits smack-dab in the middle of Austin — The Entertainment Capi­ tal of the Southwest. Incoming students are probably already aware of Sixth Street, the basic core of the Austin entertain­ ment scene. Unfortunately, many s tu d e n ts m is ta k e n ly b e lie v e throughout their college lives that Sixth Street is the only option avail­ able. That's a bad mistake, because the entire d ty is teeming with so many clubs one would be hard- pressed to cover it all. But you can try — and we're here to help. A good place to start with is Aus­ tin's celebrated music scene, which has produced some of the greatest musicians in the world. First off, some basic tips/rules about seeing live music: ■ Don't worry about people with leather jackets and shaved heads out front. No, really. They won't hurt you, and they aren't inside the club. The reason they're standing outside is because they can't afford the cover to get in. Most of the peo­ ple inside the d u b are normal rock- and-rollers like yourself. ■ If you're going to be obnoxious, make sure i t s appropriate to the d u b you're in. Slam-dancing is cool in clubs such as Liberty Lunch, but doing it at An tone's or the Broken Spoke is a sure way to get your butt kicked. ■ If you're a minor, do not try to buy alcohol or drink it in the club. G ub owners are already paranoid, and if the TABC slaps them with a fine they may just decide to adopt an "over-21 only" format. The Texas Tavern and Cactus Cafe in the Texas Union — The Tavern and the Cactus are the most accessible clubs to dorm residents at the University because they're both right here on campus. The Tavern books some of the best bands around, from Austin favorites such as Omar and/the Howlers to nation­ al favorites like Tracy Chapman and Ziggy Marley The Cactus is a high­ ly respected folk-music venue, hav­ ing featured greats such as blues master Taj Mahal and country star Darden Smith. Hole In the Wall, 2528 Gua­ dalupe St. — Right across the street from campus. This dark little place has a most appropriate name, and is a great place to play pool. Timbuk 3, one of Austin's most famous bands, got its start here, and there are many other great-but-still-undiscov- ered bands to be seen here. The Black Cat Lounge, 313VÍ E. Sixth St. — One of the few live-mu- sic clubs on Sixth that's cool enough to let minors in. Great place to hang out if you like a dark-and-dirty at­ m o sp h e re . U n fo rtu n a te ly , it doesn't have a phone, so it's hard to find out who is playing. It's usu­ ally one of Austin's best bands, though, so don't worry. Club Cairo, 306 E. Sixth St. — A new club, but it has already started booking some of the college crowd's favorite bands, including the Wild Seeds, the Reivers, and Poi Dog Pondering. Liberty Lunch, 405 W. Second St. — The most popular club in Austin, mainly due to the diversity of music played there. The Lunch features rock, blues, jazz and country, as well as being the best reggae venue in town. Camper van Beethoven, the Neville Brothers, Scruffy the Cat and the Dead Milkmen are some of top national acts that have appeared there. Antone's, 2915 Guadalupe St. — More than just a great club, An­ tone's is one of the top blues clubs in the nation, Such blues legends as Albert Collins, Albert King and Buddy Guy play there almost every weekend, and guitar god Stevie Ray Vaughan began his career as a member of Antone's house band. Simply put, Antone's never has a bad show. Paperbacks Plus, 710 W. Fifth St. — Normally a bookstore, Paper­ backs Plus recently began featuring music. This club will book just about any band, including off-the- wall acts like the Hickoids and the Dogshit Rangers. Broken Spoke, 3201 S. Lamar Blvd. — Not many college students listen to country music, but there are a few of us rednecks around. Austin was the focus of the "O ut­ law Country" movement of the ear­ ly '70s that sent Willie Nelson to stardom; the Spoke still features SM CIuta, puflit 2F Page 2F/THE DAILY TEXAN/August 1988 Continued from page 1F Gary P. Nunn, Steve Fromholz and other heroes of that era, as well as more mainstream country. Don't forget your boots. Big Mamou, 2008 S. Congress Ave. — Not only a great club, but a superb Cajun/Creole restaurant as well. Great gumbo and Austin's rock and roll — what more could you ask for? Chez Fred, 9070 Research Blvd. — A nother great restaurant/m usic venue. Chez Fred is the leading jazz club in tow n. In fact, it's one of the few places in town to hear jazz. W hy Austin d oesn't support more clubs with the w orld's coolest music is a m ystery, but this place is the oasis in a jazz desert. The Continental Club, 1315 S. Congress Ave. — A dependable club, with good variety. Rock, coun­ try and blues are the staples of the C ontinental, and A ustin's favorite barrelhouse blues pianist, the Grey G host, is a regular Sunday after­ noon lunchtim e feature. Green Mesquite BBQ & Beer Garden, 1400 Barton Springs Road, and Stubb's Bar-B-Q, 4001 N. 1-35 — Barbecue and m usic are a natu­ rally good com bination, and these two restaurants are the best places to find it. The G reen M esquite has great music every night, usually A u stin 's m ost popular bands. Stu bb's has a jazz jam on Friday nights and a fam ous blues jam on Sunday nights. G eorge Thorogood and Stevie Ray V aughan are two of the blues stars who have dropped in to play. ■ ■ ■ If you aren't hip to local music, you may find your niche in the dance club scene. M ost dance clubs play progressive music and are filled with the oddest combination of people. I must warn you, though, clubs are known best for their breeding attraction. Ladies, get used to lines like, "So, what sorority are you in?" " I think I am falling in love," and the ever famous, "H ey, why don't we blow this joint?" Men, get ready to see the best fake drunk acts you have ever seen. Suddenly the girls lose their ability to stand and walk all by themselves, but they still can giggle at every word that you say. D on 't get me w rong, there are genuine fun people at the clubs, you ju st have to search hard — or ju st please, com e up with original lines. Arena CCCXIX, 319 E. Sixth St., is two buildings com bined into one "b ig " club. It has five dance floors and plenty of tables and couches to rest your weary body on. The crowd is dom inated by college students due to the fact it's located on Sixth these are primarily Greek Street; types. The m usic is progressive dance style. The "a ctio n " does not really begin until about 10:30 p .m ., said doorm an Troy Miller, but it opens at 8 p.m . O n Tuesday and W ednesday it closes at 2 a .m ., and Thurday through Saturday at 4 a.m . During the w eek cover is only $3, but on w eekends it jum ps to $5. Amnizia, 601-A E. Sixth St., is also located in the heart of Sixth Street. The club does not usually al­ low anyone under 19, but if you "ap p ear to be mature and in col­ le g e ," you have a good chance of getting in, said m anager John K en­ wood. The music is quite varied. Am- nizia plays top 40, rock 'n' roll and progressive dance music. If you get tired, there's a big screen television normally playing sports. Kenwood also boasts it has a "neighborhood atmosphere, kind of like at Cheers, because of all the regular custom­ ers," but many new people are al­ ways filtering in. The club is open seven days a week from 7:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Cover is $2 Sunday through Tuesday, $3 Wednesday and Thurs­ day and $5 on the weekend. is Boardwalk Beach Club, another Sixth Street club, has live bands eve­ ry night it's open. The music is pri­ marily rock 'n' roll, but it also fea­ tures soul, folk and country. The crowd somewhat older, but Greeks are definitely a recurring motif. The club has a dance floor and plenty of seating in case you just want to listen. Boardwalk is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Cover varies from $1 to $3 depending on what band is playing. Boathouse, 407 Colorado St., is almost like two clubs in one. It has a big dance floor area where it plays top 40 hits and other music that is not on the radio, and a quiet bar where it plays the latest videos. The crowd consists of mostly gay college students with an age range from 18 to 35. The cover charge is $3 on Wednesday and Sunday, free on Thursday, $7 for minors on Friday and $5 on Saturday after midnight. The club is open from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. during the week and until 4 a.m. on weekends. City Lights, 614 E. 6th St., is per­ fect for all students who aren't 18 years old; if you have a UT student ID, you can get in. There is one large dance floor where you can dance to progressive music, and up­ stairs is a quieter area with couches and tables. The crowd is mostly UT students, including fraternity and sorority types. Floor manager Bill Schweinler described City Lights by saying, “I don't mean to sound sex­ ist, but there are a lot of good-look­ ing girls here." There usually is no cover Sunday through Thursday, and on the weekends there normally is no cov­ er until about 10 p.m. Afterwards it bumps up to $5 for minors. The club is open from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. on weekdays and until 4 a.m. on the weekends. Martini's, 727 W. 23rd St., is an­ other club that primarily plays pro­ gressive music, but the crowd is a little more diverse than some of the other clubs. Martini's has two dance floors and also some seating and quiet areas. On the weekend the crowd gets to be as big as 1,500. Monday is Club Iguana night when go-go dancers, fashion models and new decor add much more to the club. The Edge, right across the street from the Boathouse, is a newer club that has a postmodern theme — neon Memphis. The music is pro­ gressive and the crowd is mostly Greek with a few punkers mixed in. The club has three stories and an outside patio area. The basement is a cold room with a black light. The club is open from 9 p.m. until around 3 a.m. Thurday through Sunday. The cover is $5 on Thurs­ day, $3 on Friday (but ladies get in free until midnight), $4 on Saturday and $2 on Sunday. JOIN AUSTIN S NEWEST WELCOME BACK TO Austin’s Favorite U.R.

The story focuses on Brian, a man bom in Jerusalem at the same time as Jesus Christ. In an attempt to escape from Roman troops, who are chasing Brian because he wrote “Romans go home" 100 times on Cae­ sar’s palace, Brian disguises himself as a soapbox preacher. The disguise is so perfect a huge crowd actually becomes convinced he is the new Messiah. Brian is thus faced with Romans who want to crucify him on one hand, and insane religious zealots who want to worship him on the other. Not a pretty sight. In one scene, Brian addresses a gigantic mob gathered outside his window. "We are all individuals,” Brian yells. "We are all individuals,” the entire crowd chants back in unison. In another scene, the People’s Front of Judea (a rival splinter group of the Judean People's Front and sworn enemy of the Populist Judean Front) passes a resolution demanding that "men be given the right to have chil­ dren, even though they can’t actually have them." Brian is the perfect parody of religious cults and fanatics. Often insightful and always funny, it's a shame this movie was never able to attain the cult status of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. — Bret Bloomquist F R E E BEA R HUGS Ted E.

Page 4F/THE DAILY TEXAN/August 1988 Video stores offer varied selections Austin provides audio-visual mecca for firmly implanted couch potatoes ByBrtaaBqp You can't go out because you don't have an ID and you certainly don't have $5,000 to see a film at the movie the street. What else is there to do but rent a movie? theater down The next question, of course, is, "Where do I rent these movies you're talking about?" is Austin loaded with video stores, so you're in the right place if renting videos is your big thing. One of the best video stores in Austin is Sound Warehouse. There are four locations all over Austin: one on Burnet Road, another on Manchaca Road and two on North Lamar Boulevard. If it's a new release you're looking for, this is the place to go. There is also a great selection of classics and music videos. There is no membership fee — it just takes $1.99 and a picture ID to rent a movie. (Really new releases may cost a little more.) But you'll also need to show a major credit card or leave a blank check as a de­ posit. Sound Warehouse is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday and 10 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday. Another biggie in the movie rent­ al industry is National Video, with seven locations around town. It costs a little more: $3 for one movie or $2.50 each for two or more, but the selection of the new­ est releases is one of the best. National Video also has extensive horror and classic sections along with regular comedy, drama and music departments. National Video also has daily spe­ cials during the week. Mondays and Wednesday you can keep your movie for two days instead of one, Tuesdays the big hype is two mov­ ies for the price of one and Thurs­ days it's three for the price of two. And if you don't own a VCR, they'll rent you one. A major credit card is also needed here to insure you won't run away with their movies. A great place to rent movies that M m do 1 pmC Mom ■ w te t y iT n laid 1 akeutt also happens to be near campus is Hasting's, 2338 Guadalupe St. Hast- ing's too has a large selection and gets a lot of the latest releases quick­ ly. One of the greatest things about the Hasting's video selection is the extensive foreign film selection. Most days you can rent a movie for $1.99, but on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, it is only $.99. A ma­ jor credit card is needed or you can do the blank check thing. Hours are Sunday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m ., and Friday and Satur­ day, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. When you're in the mood for something a little different, Water­ loo Video at 221-A S. Lamar Blvd. is where you'll want to go. It offers a huge selection of alternative films, including many foreign and classic goodies. The membership fee at Waterloo is $2.99 and they will need a credit card or a blank check. The cost to rent videos is $2.99 for the first one and $2 for any others. Waterloo Vi­ deos is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. For those of you who live down south, Tom Thumb at 1819 Pleasant Valley Road has a pretty good video store. It has a reasonable selection and usually quite a few copies of the newest releases. Classic or foreign films are not Tom Thumb's special­ ty, but there are a few. The highlight of renting movies at Tom Thumb; though, is that you pay only 99 cents any day of the week. VCRS are available to rent. Unless vou want to get your rental card that day, you won't need a credit card; but if you show them one they'll let you rent on the spot. Many other grocery stores — in­ cluding H .E.B. locations, as well as 7-Elevens — also rent videos. The selection at these stores isn't as ex­ tensive as at video specialty stores. The Big Chill is one of those movies you think you’ve seen too many times until you rent it and realize it got better since you saw it the last time.

Page 6F/THE DAILY TEXAN/August 1988 Austin music primer Just because MTV left it doesn’t mean the music died By flva VM hyam tfcin M i J M h WOO OK. If you like rock n' roll, and you move to Austin, you'll have to go to the clubs. Because the radio stations suck. Beneath the hype of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Charlie Sexton, and Timbuk3, there is a w ealth of undis­ covered or underdiscovered talent in Austin. W hen in Austin, see bands. Austin is the Baskin-Robbins of American music. And tasting the various musical flavors in this town is half the joy. W hen you discover one you really love, you will likely patronize it until you get sick of it — so try the entire m enu first. So here are the bands you should try: ■ Glass Eye — Bare, minimalistic, though. Who else would funny, make an Abba song sound good? ■ The Texas In stru m en ts — You*! have to go to the cluliBecau se the raí ¡0 stations suck. D ylanesque and the m ost und errat­ ed band in Austin. ■ The Reivers — Probably the next Austin band to m ake a lot of m oney nationally. Great harm ony and very boppy, and you're lucky if you can't hear the lyrics. ■ Wild Seeds — Their last album was outstanding, but they've lost one of their essential elem ents, Kris McKay. Beer-drinking music. ■ Blue Retrievers — Used to be the outstanding and raunchy True Believers, the best rock 'n ' roll band in Austin. But Javier sold out and joined the overproduced, over­ played and overrated Will Sexton — he's not a musician, but he plays one on MTV. ■ Go Dog Go — C hanges m usi­ cians faster than guitar strings. But they've im proved w ith each new lineup, though they play the stan­ dard, four-piece fare. ■ Roman Candles — H ere's a halfhearted endorsem ent: Go see this generic rock band in about six m onths. The singing will be better, and the material will easily carry this three-piece group until then. ■ Ballad Shambles — Everybody com pares this band to the Doors — but Ballad Shambles is more di­ verse. And everybody on stage will be drunker than you. ■ The Q uitters — N ot a cliche pop band. U nsw eetened songwriting, the m ost enthusiastic drum m er in the world, and a former Doctors' Mob (w hat used to be the second- best band in Austin) m em ber on bass. ■ Child Bearing Hips — Thum p­ ing ... just thum ping. ■ Javelin Boot — Great musicians, although the songw riting can be weak. And an am azing rap-metal version of Staying Alive. ■ W ater the Dog — Forgive the dopey nam e and go see them for stay -in -y o u r-b ra in -fo r-h o u rs th e See Bands, page 8F IMMIGRATION JOEL B.

T H E C A D E A U 2316 Guadalupe Far Sido B accarat Milano Fossil C rabtree A Evelyn Park In Our Lot on San Antonio Street T he Daily TEXAN/August 1988/Page 9F UT draws tons o' book stores Selections vary from Hardy Boys to Stephen King As everyone has probably heard his grandm other say at one tim e or another, there's nothing a college student enjoys* more than a good book — and your personal experi­ ence will no doubt bear this out. After a 27-hour study binge, w hat better way to unw ind than w ith a S ilh o u e tte R om ance, S te p h e n King's new est em ission or a nice, comforting volum e of applied phys­ ics? Since know ledge is the Univer­ sity's stock in trade it is only natural a large and widely varied group of bookstores should spring u p in its environs. These stores cater to eve­ ry interest from the erudite to the prurient and serve to keep the mill of the University supplied with its intellectual grist. H ere is a brief look at nearby bookstores: from around O n the Drag itself there are a num ber of book sellers, am ong them G arner and Smith at 2116 Guadalupe St. This shop is a nota­ bly highbrow institution, w ith the strains of classical music playing quietly throught the shop. G am er and Smith has an excellent selection of periodicals the world and boasts a fairly extensive foreign language section as well. Its strengths lie in its up-to-the-m inute selection of literary criticism and philosophy, along with the m ost in­ fluential works of eras gone by. Der­ rida would be entirely content here. T he are h e l pf ul a n d knowledgable, and if an item is out of stock G arner and Sm ith's Tarry- town location at 2325-A Exposition Blvd. may well have it. Keep an eye out for the store's resident cat, Gus, and give it a scratch if you are so inclined. c le rk s N orthw ard on the Drag lies the Bookmark, in the im posing Scien­ tology building at 2200 G uadalupe St. The Bookmark has a fine selec­ tion of comics and collections there­ of. Come here for American Splendor, Captain America, or Lynda Barry's Naked Ladies. The Bookmark also carries the latest in groovy college wear, so as you browse the stacks you can fit yourself with a set of shades or pick u p one of those smi- ley-face T-shirts with the hem or­ rhaging bullet w ound. Farther up the Drag is H asting's books an d records and tapes, 2338 G uadalupe St. H asting's devotes a fair am ount of floor space to video­ tapes and music stuff, but it m an­ ages to accom m odate a reasonable am ount of printed m atter as well. As with its music, H asting's book selection is rather middle-of-the- road. As long as you're not search­ ing for anything too far off the beat­ en track it can generally be found here. O ne endearing quality about H asting's is that it sadistically situ­ ates its collection of skin magazines directly against a large plate-glass w indow facing the street. It's sort of like C andid Camera. If the dedicated book hunter re­ mains unfulfilled, then the only al­ ternatives are A ustin's used and discount book stores. At 710 W. Fifth St., across from the Austin utilities' main office, is Paperbacks Plus, a mecca for those w ho are broke but still thirst for knowledge. Paperbacks plus is a vast w arehouse of books, extending as far as the eye can see. Never have more rom ance novels been seen u n ­ der a single roof. The stock is m ost­ ly used and goes for extremely low prices. The books are shelved by general topic (w esterns, psycholo- gy, etc.) and while this can make the search for a specific title a diffi­ cult one, it affords m any unexpect­ ed pleasures. Paperbacks Plus is also the hom e to the A club, w here A ustin's fabled underground music scene continues to thrive. O n one trip to Fifth street you can get your electric service reconnected, buy a 50-cent copy of the H ardy Boys' Mystery on Skull Mountain and catch the ear-punishing sounds of Dog­ fish. record At 3110 G uadalupe St. (also known as "street of a thousand book sellers") is the m ain location of Half-Price books. Half-Price has lo­ cations throughout Texas and the rest of the Southw est and even into the frozen reaches of Wisconsin. It operates on m uch the sam e scheme as Paperbacks Plus, m inus the m u­ sic club, but w ith the addition of an section. Half- expansive Price's records are not merely ga- rage-sale material but are an im port­ ant source (if not not the sole source) for the m ost esoteric music of the 1970s. To be found here are the collected w orks of the Brothers Johnson as well as offerings from Jim Nabors and sundry other discs you'd probably sell too. Occasionaly Half-Price comes u p w ith a true rari­ ty, such as the quadraphonic ver­ sion of Sly and the Family Stone's greatest hits album , which surfaced several weeks ago. Both Half-Price and Paperbacks Plus buy books as well as sell them , and they are excellent bets to have textbooks which the standard sourc­ es are out of. A fter Hours Remember when you used to hate to watch Lucy be­ cause you knew she was just going to get into worse trouble and it made you tense? That’s the test. If you couldn’t handle it, don’t watch After Hours — because it only gets worse. Griffin Dunne is this poor guy who meets a girl and goes to buy a paperweight shaped like a bagel from her roommate, then the girl dies and he leaves and doesn’t have money to get home so he goes into this bar and then people think he’s a bad guy so they try to lynch him and he has to listen to the Monkees and gets covered with plaster of paris and stuff.

Maybe you starred in all your high school's plays and w ant to d e­ vote your life to the stage. O r m ore likely, you just adm ire those people who can stand in front of an audi­ ence and assum e a com pletely dif­ ferent character, and you w ant to give it a shot yourself. Either way, the University con­ tains various program s and stu d en t organizations that cater to every­ thing from a consum ing passion for theater to a fledgling interest. The dom inant source of theatrical activity on cam pus, the D epartm ent of Drama, puts on about 20 produc­ tions each year, ranging from ela­ borately staged plays to experim en­ tal perform ances. D epartm ent productions, how ev­ er, generally confine their casting to drama majors. Professors and grad­ the departm ent uate students in usually serve as directors. "We consider our productions part of the students' education and training, which extends from work in the classroom ," Lee Abraham , associate professor of dram a, said. The departm ent will present five plays during its fall season. Bonnie Cullum, assistant instructor in dra­ ma, will direct one of these, The Tro- jan Women, as her thesis production tow ard a m aster of fine arts degree. She expects 100-200 hopefuls w hen auditions begin. The departm ent announces audi­ tions on the call board in the F. Loren W inship Drama Building. For those interested in dram a but unsure about making it their major, the departm ent offers 15 courses for non-m ajors ranging from acting to theater history. These require no "A lot of people would like to make dram a their major, but feel it's impractical," A braham said. "Some students know exactly w hat they w ant, and som e don't. We d o n 't ask them to specialize in their first two years. Everyone takes pretty m uch the sam e core curriculum the first two years, which exposes them to a num ber of things. At the end of two years, we m atch students' accom­ plishm ents w ith their interests. "We tell them things like, 'You should get a BFA [bachelor of fine arts degree] in acting, or you should get a BA [bachelor of arts], because your talent lies in playwriting, for which we d o n 't have a BFA,"' Abra­ ham continued. Elsewhere on cam pus, students can find opportunities to get in­ volved in dram a on a m ore extracur­ ricular level. The Theater Collective, which has brought eight produc­ tions to the stage since its creation in fall of 1986, is formulating plans for the upcom ing sem ester. "We'll probably have about 60-70 active m em bers," psychology grad­ uate student and Theater Collective founder Paul G arlinghouse said. Students also m anage the stage, create the sets and handle publicity for the collective. Eric Levy, w ho di­ rected sum m er production Deathtrap, began his involvem ent in the collective by working the lights, and eventually m oved up to the po­ sition of director. the "W e'll be having a m eeting soon w here people will present their pro­ posals for the fall," Garlinghouse said. "A nyone can subm it an idea for a play, which is w hat makes us a collective." While m any organizations like the Theater Collective slow dow n a the Skake- bit over the sum m er, espeare at W indedale program of­ fers a tw o-m onth sum m er camp ex­ perience involving an exhaustive study of three Shakespeare plays by perform ing them .

The Untouchables One of my first film memories is being crushed at the age of 11 when Mary Tyler Moore, the crown princess of perkiness, lost the Best Actress Oscar to Sissy Spacek, a skinny, whiny Loretta Lynn impersonator. My horror flooded back last year when The Untouchables wasn’t even nomi­ nated. Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Robert De Niro create charac­ ters so real you want to send them mail. The script alternates between cool aloofness and intense passion like a Jacuzzi with a broken thermo­ stat. See it. — Kevin McHargue Great Italian food All-American fun.

Source: The University Market'' 19S7 Cable provides oasis in vast TV wasteland It may not always be good, but at least there’s always something on By Kevin Hants Cable television is a wonderful thing. Without it, life can be a living hell of Donahue, Geraldo and worse — Oprah. Cable is not perfect. It does have its share of bad shows and bad channels. But whether rotten or sublime, there is always something on. Running down the television list­ ings, you may notice a dispropor­ tionately large number of reruns of series from the early '60s. This is not all bad. A number of these are quite en­ tertaining, and most are ones you probably haven't seen unless you already are familiar with cable. Some of these series are true clas­ sics. Laugh In, Mr. Ed and Hogan's Heroes rank among those series al­ most everyone agrees are fun to watch every day. A few of cable's offerings such as Mabel, Father Knows Best, The Donna Reed Show, My Three Sons, and the dreaded Leave It to Beaver leave a saccharin taste in the mouth and a throbbing headache when taken in large doses. Speaking of old reruns, Austin CableVision carries two of the so- called Superstations, TBS out of At­ lanta, and WGN from Chicago. The best thing about WGN is Chi­ cago Cubs baseball. The worst thing about TBS is Atlanta Braves base­ ball. TBS also has another cultural mishap — colorized movies. The majority of these stations' programming consists of some of the worst reruns to hit the airwaves. The major difference between the two, besides the baseball teams, is TBS starts all its programs at five minutes past the hour. To avoid colorized classics, flip to American Movie Classics, a basic channel that offers up more vintage films than you can shake your RTF notes at. Movies like Citizen Kane, Bringing Up Baby and Charade appear uncut and without commercial in­ terruption; they're also preceded by a segment giving facts and back­ ground about the film. News on cable is ever-present, whether in the form of local news­ casts from Atlanta and Chicago or in easily-digestible soft-hitting news caplets found 24-hours a day on the Cable News Network. Watching C-SPAN, cable channel that broadcasts U.S. Senate the and House proceedings 24-hours a day, is another wonderful experi­ ence that should not be missed. There are a virtual plethora of choices and qualities of cartoon fun to be found on the cable stations. You can pass USA Network's Car­ toon Express, which is on in some form every day, unless you like watching badly drawn, poorly writ­ ten Hanna-Barbera cartoons you hated even as a kid. TBS' contribution to the fun is back-to-back episodes of the Flint- stones, one of the few correct pro­ gramming moves Ted Turner has made in the last few years. The music channels are a part of cable television's early history as well as part of its attraction. The most well-known music channel is of course, MTV. The net­ work does not subsist only on vi­ deos from your favorite heavy-met- al band, but also has a game show, and features British comedy. The game show, Remote Control, is every beer-swizzling couch jockey's vision of the perfect game show. The questions all deal with televi­ sion trivia, unless one of the con­ testants happens to choose the cate­ gory of stupid questions like "W ho is buried in Grant's Tomb?" the show, through snacks are served to the contestants via dropping marshmallows or day- old doughnuts on their heads. They are then encouraged to throw as much of the food at each other as they can. Halfway It beats the hell out of watching Wheel of Fortune. The half-hour after Remote Control on MTV is taken up with the British show Monty Python's Flying Circus and on Sundays, the British sitcom The Young Ones is aired. Music television stations also fea­ ture (gasp) music videos. MTV's programming is predict­ ably top-40. It also has features like Basement Tapes, which gives un­ signed bands valuable air play, and 120 Minutes which shows the what MTV considers is the "underground music scene." But MTV is not alone in the rock video business; it has a sister sta­ tion, VH1, that features softer vi­ deos for the older, more mellow group. Sundays on VH1 is the Sun­ day Brunch, featuring jazz and soft rock videos. Country music has its own sta­ the Nashville Network, tions, which is not so much a video station See Cable, page 15F Fall registration for all ages and levels in B allet, Jazz, and B allercise is Aug 2 9 - S e p t. 3, M o n .-F ri. 4 - 7 and Sat. 10-1 at 3 0 0 2 G uadalupe and 3 6 3 8 B ee Caves Rd. 476-9051 BALLET AUSTIN A C A D E M Y The China Syndrome, Aliens and La Bamba are some of the few movies you can actuaNy stand to watch over and over on cable.

"S h h . Think of a n o is e /' says Jackie. She flips a sw itch on the co n ­ trol panel in front of her. "T h is is K T S B ," she says into the ju st heard "W e 'v e m icrophone. from the Sugarcubes, before that was Lime Spiders and The Jam and ..." she rolls off a list of band nam es as her cohort, Jen n ifer, begins tap­ ping her pen on the m icrophone stand. "If you can guess this sound you can win a big prize, but we can't tell you what it is y e t," Jackie says. They start an oth er record and the phone rings. "W hat was that soun d ?" Jackie asks the caller, and then, "H ow 'd you know that? O K , let me look around the office and see w hat kind of prize we can give y o u ." These two DJs are part of the stu ­ dent staff of KTSB, the U niversity's own "a ltern a tiv e" to the sam e old stuff heard on A u stin's com m ercial stations. KTSB's first broadcast was last April, the culm ination of a tw o-year project. A small group of interested stu ­ dents formed the Stud ent Radio Task Force, sold T-shirts and held the fundraisers. Thev continue sam e m oney-raising tactics now , al­ though the bulk of their funding com es from the UT Students' A sso­ ciation and student services fees, said Keith King, KTSB station m an­ ager and an advertising senior. The station is housed in the old Varsity Cafeteria, w hich has stood virtually em pty since the cafeteria closed more than a year ago. King said K TSB's control room w as designed by the students and built by the U niversity's Division of Physical Plant. M ost of the boo th 's equipm ent w as donated by the UT D epartm ent of Radio-Television-Film and by Austin station KLBJ, said KTSB pro­ gram director Ken M cKenzie. A creatively cluttered office com ­ pletes this tw o-room operation. On the walls are posters of everyone from Iggy Pop and Bob G eldof to Run DMC and The Reivers, one of A u stin 's h o m e-g row n bands. fav o rite just theoretical, KTSB's "college rock" policy is it's enforced. not Jackie and Jen nifer explain that the station will play popular artists, but not the songs that are most well- know n. "W e'll play Tracy Chapm an, but we w on't play Fast Car,' Jackie said. "W e try to play other track s." W hat happens if som eone plays a song usually heard on a commercial station? " If you do, you get a big note on your p laylist," Jennifer said. KTSB also has a policy of playing at least two Austin or Texas bands an hour, "b u t we usually end up playing m o re," Jennifer said. There is even an hour-long speci­ alty program devoted to playing only dem o tapes, McKenzie said. There are several specialty shows on the 24-hour fall schedule, includ­ ing Hardcore, New Age Jazz, Metal, Latin Mix and African Mix. The sta­ tion's record library illustrates the diversity of music played. But KTSB know s a com m unity cannot exist on music alone, so there is a daily new s hour. National new s from Pacifica News in W ash­ ington, D .C ., is su pplem ented by local new s and sports reports and a com m unity calendar. And on S u n ­ day evenings there is a m ore in- depth sports talk show . Sounds like the perfect radio sta­ tion, right? W ell, th ere's only one hitch. Until KTSB begins broadcasting on FM , the signal can be picked up through a cable connection only from Austin CableVi- purchased sion, M cK enzie said. If you already have cable TV, you need only purchase a $6.00 kit that includes three pieces of unintim i- dating equipm ent and a sim ple five- step for "d o -it-yo u rself" m ethod connecting your stereo to your TV. M cKenzie said ACTV m ight be of­ fering a student discount this fall, and that people should call ACTV or check the inform ation tables at registration and on the W est Mall. KTSB is in the process of applying for its FCC license to broadcast on FM, but the process takes over a year, King said. In the m eantim e, if you don't have cable, you can go to the fourth floor of the U ndergraduate Library and listen through headphones. Students can also get a taste on K TSB's preferred type of m usic at a concert to be held in the Arts C om ­ plex's C oncert Hall Sept. 16. Five of A ustin's m ost popular original-m u- sic bands, G lass Eye, Wild Seeds, Bad M utha G oose, The Reivers and Killer Bees, will be playing. This will be first time any Austin rock bands will play the C oncert Hall, said Bar­ bara Sparkm an, m arketing specialist for the Arts Complex. KTSB is helping to prom ote the concert, Sparkm an said. Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair Jesus Christ Superstar and H air pretty much started the “rock opera'’ craze. Both were highly successful in London and New York before being made into movies, and actors seemed to move comfortably between the two casts over the course of a few years. Superstar is vintage Andrew Lloyd Webber. His current accomplish­ ments look like fluff (albeit brilliant fluff) compared to the biting moderniza­ tion of the story of Christ’s teachings and crucifixion. Subject to a great deal of criticism from almost every religion, Superstar took a typically 70s approach to dialogue, costuming and characters. Judas Iscariot (above) shares almost equal billing with Christ — he is, amazingly, one of the most sympathetic characters in the film. Webber makes Judas’ betrayal of Christ uncomfortably understandable — the reaction of a loyal but disillu­ sioned follower. Hair, starring Treat Williams (right), portrays the relationships of hippie draft-card burners with the establishment and with each other. An excel­ lent cast brings life and emotion to a brilliant score. H air ends as a twisted, black comedy of errors, with mistaken identity resulting in tragedy rather than laughter. — Trish Berrong You II find it at *7(néidc(e*v fxuct • Erotic Gifts & Gags • Home Party Sales • Strip-O-Grams 512Neches M-S11 to 11 Sun 12-5 478-8358 HARWOOD TRAVEL Has Welcomed Students since ’59!

THE DAILY TCXAN/August 1988/Page 13F Tons o' movies It’s almost worth paying 5 bucks to go — sometimes By TrM Bm t m i It costs about $5.50 to see a first- run movie in A ustin these days. Five-fifty. And th at's not even in­ cluding popcorn and Cokes. M ention that, an d your parents will start in w ith, "I rem em ber w hen I'd take a dim e to a double feature with cartoons and a new s­ reel and still have enough left over for four Tootsie-Roil P op s.'' Yeah, but they d id n 't have THX. You'd think movie theaters' u p p ­ ing their prices w ould be no less than suicidal. Video tape rental is inexpensive, m any ho useholds have cable — it takes a lot to drag folks away from their hom e en ter­ tainm ent centers these days. Many places in Austin have raised their standards — along with their prices — to give moviegoers a thrill beyond being able to intelli­ gently discuss Roger Rabbit the day after it opens. H igher quality sound and projection system s and more pleasant auditorium s are a far cry from the sticky-floored shoebox the­ aters of a few years ago. There are some cheaper places to see films in Austin. The Texas Un­ ion, Dobie Theater and a few older theaters will let you in for a couple of dollars. Some show mostly older or cult films; a few show movies that either d o n 't pull in big bucks at the box office or are a few m onths old. Below is a rundow n of the major theater chains and individual the­ aters in Austin, w ith information on price, atm osphere and types of movies shown. ■ P residio T heatres. P residio started bringing back the "Crystal Palace" style theaters popular earli­ er this century. The flagship audito­ riums — the Arbor Cinema 4 (10000 Research Blvd.) and the Lincoln Cinema 3 (6406 N. 1-35) — are the ritziest. The Arbor features a ceiling covered with soft-sculpture clouds and walls painted to look like a vil­ lage. The Lincoln is a yuppie para­ dise — tasteful carpeting and a lob­ by big enough to pu t a house in. A nother one of Presidio's major theaters is the Southpark Cinema 3 (1921 E. Ben White Blvd.). The THX system , along with some of the chain's other advances, were tried out in this theater. The Lakehills 4 (2428 E. Ben White Blvd.) also has one THX auditorium . Presidio also ow ns the Village Cinem a 4 (2700 W. A nderson Lane); not as advanced technology-wise, but one of the better places in A us­ tin to see artsy-fartsy stuff (see also: Varsity and Texas Union). So w hat's the big deal about THX? The system was developed by George Lucas, w ho was disappoint­ ed with the decreasing standards of movie theaters. To use the THX nam e, theaters m ust m eet specifica­ tions on light, sound equipm ent, and theater acoustics. If you're real­ ly lucky, you can catch a movie in 70mm and THX, com bining an in­ credible, theaterw ide sound system with a 16-track sound track. ■ AMC Theaters. AMC had some catching up to do — w hat w ith Pre­ sidio getting first dibs on all the big movies and stuff. Now AMC has c u rv e d new screens, and a new slogan: "There is a difference." sy ste m s, so u n d If you go to one of its better the­ aters, that may be true: the River­ side 8 (2410 E. Riverside Drive), for example. The W estgate 8 (W estgate Mall at South Lamar and Ben White boulevards) is a little far out for UT students. The Northcross 6 (Northcross Mall at A nderson Lane and Burnet Road) is the least impressive — it may show Cocktail on two screens, but it's still six theaters crammed into a mall. A Bad Thing. Best of all, AMC now features Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies before every feature at the West- gate, Riverside and N orthcross the­ aters. Ya can't beat that w ith a stick. AMC also opened tw o $1.25-at* all-times theaters, the A quarius and the Southw ood 2. Both are kind of cheesy — d o n 't w ear sandals — but if you can stand waiting a few weeks or m onths to see Moonstruck, these are your best bet. ■ General Cinemas. The Barton Creek location is the nicest of these three: H ighland Mall Cinem a 1 & II (Highland Mall Boulevard off 1-35) and Capital Plaza Cinem a (1-35 at Cam eron Road) aren't really w orth the m oney. Barton Creek (MoPac Expressway at Loop 360) is — it at least has Dolby Stereo on som e fea­ tures — so it can sort of com pete with the big guys. ■ The Cheapies: Several theaters around town — like the Southw ood 2 and Aquarius — show fairly re­ cent m ovies at low prices. Included are the M ann W estgate 3 and the Riverside Twin, which holds the dubious honor of having been one of the m ost enduring hom es of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. ■ For those without cars: The Texas Union shows som e of the best cult movies available. A nywhere. Most of the "you-have-to-see-these- while-you're-in-school" films rec­ om m ended on these pages are regu­ lars with the Union. Before you graduate, you should have Bedaz­ zled, Annie Hall, Deliverance and Citi­ zen Kane com m itted to m em ory. The theaters bring back nasty visions of the classes you have there (can any­ one graduate w ithout at least one class in the Burdine auditorium ?) and the sound is often lousy, but uncut Ben Hur is worth it. The Varsity Theatre (2402 G ua­ dalupe St.) is a terrific place to see the latest foreign and art films. At $5, it's right up there w ith the big­ gies price-wise, but you w o n 't see the movies anyw here else. The the­ aters are tiny — w hat w as formerly 70mm THX made it almost bearable to watch Tom Cruise in Top Gun. a large theater with a balcony has The Beatles' A Hard Day’s Night, Bat- been cut in two — but this place will man and Bullwinkle film fests are keep you awake through the Oscars regulars — and is about as cheap as the Union. The screens aren't m uch foreign film aw ards. Dobie Screen 1 & 2 (2021 Gua- bigger than the big-screen TVs in the Jester basem ent — but hey, Bat­ dalupe St.) is another cult place — man screaming to Robin to throw dow n the shark repellent is a true "college experience." And audienc­ es shouting "Green! Green!" are about the m ost enthusiastic anyw here. for Reanimator — ■EXPOSES y o u r s e l f! | TO GOOD FOOD / \ HICKOI\Y STREET GI\JLLE before you find yourself in the dark with someone you love, see us. planned parenthood Q u a l i t y Lov.

You hate westerns. You don’t know the difference between John Ford and John Wayne. That doesn't matter. Silverado is an incredible movie. Terrific performances by Kevin Costner, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Cline, Brian Dennehey, Danny Glover and John Cleese — along with tons and tons o’ others — combine with a solid plot, plenty of action and convincing dialogue. It’s the kind of movie you rent once and then have to get someone else who’s never seen it to rent it with you so you can see it again. Fun Fact: Costner got a juiced-up role in this because it was made by the same people who put together The Big Chill. Seems Costner played Alex (the guy who committed suicide) in the original edit, but audiences said they’d rather form their own idea of his character. His role in the final version was limited to a few shots of various body parts in the opening credits. — Trish Berrong STUDENT SPECIAL Beerquest '88: This time... it's personal By DM Bared It's 9 p.m. and you have $5 in your pocket. You're new in Austin and don't know where to go. Your quest: beer. Lots of beer. And avoiding frilly fern bars and knife fights. Poor University students have al­ most unlimited options for drinking cheaply in Austin. And if you get the crazy drinking urge before 7 p.m ., your $5 can stretch even far­ ther. Here are some of the more cost- effective options; none of the bars charge a cover unless noted. But be sure to designate a driver first, and those under 21, check with the bar to make sure minors are welcome. Hole in the Wall Arcade and Res­ taurant, 2538 Guadalupe St., has the advantage of being across the street from campus. While parking is generally unavailable near the bar, plenty of nearby campus lots open up after 5 p.m. The Hole also has some of the best happy hour prices around; from 4-7 p.m. Monday through Fri­ day, pitchers of Shiner Bock or Budweiser are (regularly $4.25) and mugs of beer are 60 cents — about eight beers for your $5. $2.90 Undoubtedly, however, the best thing about the Hole is the free jukebox, which is in the back room with six pool tables. Live bands are featured every night, but this brings on a big minus: a cover charge, usually $2-3, Thursday through Saturday. If quality is more important than getting falling-down-drunk, Maggie Mae's Lime Street Station, 512 Trin­ ity St., boasts one of the widest beer selections in Austin, with 69 kinds of bottled imports, eight types of import drafts and six kinds of do­ mestic beer. Prices range from $2.25 for Amer­ ican beer to $8 for a 26-ounce Bel­ gian beer called Chimay Grande Re­ serve. Sixteen-ounce drafts are $2.50, as are most bottled imports. Those who think Busch is the cham­ pagne of beers are better off spend­ ing their $5 elsewhere. Maggie Mae's is really two bars — the "dance bar" on the corner of Trinity and Sixth Streets, and the real bar, on the right. The biggest danger about going to Mag's is that you will accidentally wander into the dance bar — where there is a into the weekends — world of Polo cologne and bow- heads. features Other than talking and playing fun games while choosing and drinking unknown beers, the "real little entertainment bar" other than live music on Saturdays. Sports fanatics may find the per­ fect beer-guzzling joint is Madison Square Garden, 1410 S. Pleasant Valley Road. The bar has six TVs, ranging from a 25-inch to 6-foot big screens. Seating includes both ta­ bles for the oldsters and bleacher- type benches for those with durable rumps. While the beer prices aren't the cheapest, the bar offers free pop­ corn (better than the movies, even) during happy hour, and you can choose from seven types of draft beer and 20 varieties of cans and bottles. MSG also admits minors. While you can't drink beer — sigh — you can watch the big screen TVs as the Rangers lose again or the Kansas City Royals make their run on the American League West. The Garden becomes especially active during team games — a large number of "regu­ lars" are Astros and Rangers fans. local Texas And speaking of atmosphere, Deep Eddy Cabaret, 2315 Lake Aus­ tin Blvd., is not too concerned about that — some of the more stylish decorations include a velvet nude painting, numerous neon beer signs and a 3-D light-up Spuds MacKen- zie — but the beer is the coldest in Austin, as in ice-forms-on-the-top- of-your-mug cold. And your $5 will buy you two mini-pitchers of beer, which comes out to about eight mugs. Deep Eddy has four types of beer on draft, including Shiner Bock. Graduate students, UT faculty and staff mostly frequent the Posse East, 2900 Duval St. While minors will have little luck drinking beer at the Posse, under­ age students are welcome. To drink tea. The Posse is a great favorite among intramural sport participants after games, and hence, the air can get a little ... locker room-ish. And those for Budweiser power hour starts at 11 a.m. craving that lunch, happy Showdown, 2610 Guadalupe St., also has an indoor and outdoor sec­ tion.

With Austin CableVision cable FM service, you can watch your favorite music videos on MTV or VH-1 while listening in stereo. Plus, it’s the only way you can listen to KTSB, the official student radio station of The University of Texas at Austin. KTSB features local artists, psychedelic rock, new age electronic, reggae, heavy metal—music you don’t often hear on Austin radio stations. And that’s not all! If you are an HBO or Cinemax subscriber, you can re­ ceive these services in stereo, too. You’ll also receive FM stations from out of town such as WFMT in Chicago and KTFM in San Antonio, as well as your favorite Austin FM stations. Cable FM adds only $2.00 per month more to your monthly cable bill, but a whole lot more to your listening choices.

ESPN, the most well-known source of sports programming, is mixed in its coverage. They have Sportscenter, a one-half hour version of the eight minute scores and highlights segment on local news. the ESPN also features Roy Firestone and his amazing blow-dried hair talking to some of the biggest names in sports.

The Showdown has pool tables and dart boards as well as a few pinball machines. Minors may as well stay home. The bar has a very strict ID-checking policy and won't let minors in the bar or on the outside patio. There are always plenty of empty pool tables at Side Pocket, 10701 N. Lamar Blvd. A fairly basic pool hall with beer only in bottles and cans, Side Pocket is definitely a group outing. Most of the female custom­ ers embrace spandex as a fashion statement. Most of the men there seem fanatically opposed to wash­ ing their hair more than once a week. The Side Pocket has a jukebox that features all your favorite Dokk- en and other heavy metal tunes.

III ming, and it is the only network on cable television where you can tune in at 3 a.m. and watch midget car races or midget wrestling. HSE, the other sports network, focuses its energies on live regional sports. Southwest Conference foot­ ball, basketball and baseball are all featured on HSE. Houston Astros (yay!) and Texas Rangers baseball, fishing programs, wrestling and various miscellaneous sports are also mainstays of HSE'-s programs. HSE is a premium channel, mean­ ing it is not included with your ex­ panded basic. But if you are a big Astros, Rangers or SWC fan, it is well worth the extra $4.95/month. This leads us to the other premi­ um channels, HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Playboy and Disney. HBO et al., are fine channels to have if you do not mind paying the premium channel prices to watch the same 10-15 movies over and over and over again for a couple of months. These stations do have their own programming, which is often better than the broadcast networks' pro­ gramming. The Playboy channel provides ex­ citement mostly to undersexed 15- year-olds with their prolific selec­ tion of plotless movies and models prancing about in their underwear. The Disney Channel truly aims its programming at the 5-year-old set. Like the premium movie networks, it endlessly repeats its selections of old Disney and John Wayne movies over and over. Hatari! has been on heavy rotation now for two months, and shows no signs of letting up. TV without cable, for the true television aficionado, is TV without life, without imagination and with­ out a bill for 24.95 per month. Finally, some of the best deals on imported beer are hiding down in, the Texas Union Basement. Fos- ter's, for example, is only $2 a bot­ tle. Even though that's only two beers for your $5, that's all the Fos­ ter's most people need. The bowling alley and pool hall are down in the basement, and while there's almost always a wait­ ing list, UT students can bowl or shoot pool fairly cheaply. The bowling lanes are undoubt­ edly the worst in town — bowlers who generally throw straight on will find a mysterious new hook to their toss. Of course, if a more private out­ ing strikes your fancy, there's al­ ways Plan Z: hitting the nearest H.E.B. for $1.65 generic beer. Five dollars will buy you 18 bad beers and a sunset, if you drink it some­ place like Austin's scenic Mount Bonnell, out West 35th Street in West Austin. 6/M Meal Plans Mom Would Be Proud!

Expires 9/30/88 Diner The Broadway show Porgy and Bess is nothing like Barry Levinson’s Diner, but this is the most original way to start a movie review you will ever see — so live with it. Actually, there is a long list of adjectives one could — and will — use to describe the 1983 movie that shall prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is not, in fact, the Gershwin classic. And here they are: ■ Funny. Barry Levinson — unlike Ira Gershwin — is a master of dry wit and populist charicatures. He also wrote and directed Diner's "sequel,” Tin Men. Levin­ son gave Robin Williams a character as funny as he is when he directed Good Morning Vietnam. ■ Touching. Sure, Porgy and Bess was somewhat moving, but it is much easier for college-age people in the 1980s to identify with the gang of friends in their early 20s than a group of blacks in the 1920s. ■ Non-operatic, although the sound track — full of classic R&B tunes rarely heard in the Dirty Dancing decade — is wonderful. ■ Non-black. It is about a bunch of Jewish and white guys in Baltimore in the early 1960s. ■ Non-stereotypical. In fact, because the Gershwin brothers — the greatest entertainment duo since Ray­ mond and Aaron Burr — were Jewish and hung around with a lot of white guys from the Eastern Sea­ board, they could have contributed to the realism of Diner). — Siva Vaidhyanathan t o m e ream LAUNDRY & CLEANERS DRI VE IN S E R V I C E 5 Good Reasons HOME STEAM Should Be . . .

It's 3 a.m ., and you're just not ready to go home. You've got post-beer munchies, and nothing sounds better than an ex­ tra-large order of nachos. You'll deal with the heartburn later. Or: It's Wednesday night. You've got a midterm at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and you can't deal with Kant with­ out coffee. And if you're interrupt­ ed one more time by giggling you're going to reshelve your books — in­ correctly — and start screaming. You need caffeine. You need quiet. So what are you doing in the li­ brary? It's time to find a Place to Study. Studying You need some place quiet that serves endless refills on coffee. Where the waiters won't clear their throats about the bill sitting ignored on the edge of the table, and where comfortable with you greasy hair. feel can An "O pen 24 hours, 7 days a week" sign is a big prerequisite. An­ other hint: Tip disproportionately. It's kinda rude to hold up a booth and keep someone running back and forth with coffee for 18 hours for a 25 cent tip. 1. Star's Inn C offee Shop, 3105 N. 1-35, 24 hours every day: With­ out a doubt, the best place in Austin for late night studying. Just head up 26th Street toward 1-35 and take a left. It's the light-brownish building on your right near the first light you get to on the access road. Inn is cozy, has great booths to spread your astronomy homework all over, and the most in­ credible blueberry pancakes any­ where. They seem to be pretty ac­ customed to having stringy-haired, raccoon-eyed students spending the night there. Star's 2. Kerbey Lane South, 2700 S. Lamar Blvd., 24 hours every day: Not as homey as Kerbey Lane north (see below) but better for studying. Lots of bright white and bright green — and lots and lots of coffee. It sometimes takes a while to flag down a waiter, but hey — they have better tippers with bigger bills to worry about. The food selection is a bit more varied than at Star's Inn, but a great deal more expensive. The single serving nachos are a great deal, as short-stack pancakes and are bagels. 3. Captain Quackenbush's Inter- galactic whatever, 2120 Guadalupe St.: No matter what you hear, black is not the predominant color: You can go into Quack's wearing a but­ ton-down. Grab a double cappuci- no, sit down, shut up and study. But beware: This place closes at 11:30 p.m. weekdays. It's better for afternoon or early evening studying — or better still, for morning-of-the- exam cramming. Other: K en's Do-nuts, 2820 Gua­ dalupe St.: Open 24 hours, but aw­ fully bright — and orange. Has a few tables, but nowhere to really spread out and look tense. Answer the Daily Trivia Question and win free carbohydrates. Better for that quick, late-night sugar fix. Post-Party (loud) 1. TaCasita/Taco Cabana, Re­ search Boulevard and Ben White Boulevard.

It has a patio and pink walls. The lines seem to be longest early Saturday morning when you can hardly stand. Order something huge. 2. H.E.B., all over Austin, 24 hours: It's time for a munch-fest. Use the one close to home at Han­ cock Center. Go up 26th, turn left on Red River Street, and it'll be on your right a few lights away. Head for the center of the store, and pick up the following: one gallon Blue Bell Cookies'n'Cream, one frozen pizza, one bag chips and large jar medium Pace picante sauce (made in San Antonio, by folks who know) and one package Oreo cookies. Take it home. (This is best done in unisex extravaganzas.) Eat it, and then wake up around 3 p.m . the next day with everyone you know sleeping on your dorm room floor and say over and over "W hat have I done? What have I done?” Post-Party (Introspective) l.(tie) Kerbey Lane, 3704 Kerbey Lane, 7 a.m .-4 a.m .: Go here first. If you can get a seat, it's the ideal place to discuss either the most heartbreaking/nauseating/am using relationship of your life, politics, in­ teroffice politics, interoffice heart­ breaking/nauseating/amusing rela­ tionships, or anything else. It's different from the South ver­ sion because it's in a house with wooden tables and chairs. The food is the same, but the atmosphere is 180 degrees different — no bright lights or careful color scheme. In­ stead of reading Plato's dialogues, you're listening to your roommates. There's another one on Research Boulevard. It's too far away. 1. Katz's, 618 W.

It's also kind of expensive. But go just to hear the great accents some of the the waiters have.

Congress Ave., till 4 a.m. Fri.-Sat. and 10 p.m. other nights: Both have terrific atmosphere. Lake Austin is kitsch-y and cramped and has formica tables — used to be called the Omelettry. South Congress is warm and open — high ceding, wooden floor. The omelettes are wonderful, but try the pancakes. You can mix and match — one gingerbread and one whole wheat in a short stack.

See his early stuff, like Love and Death and Take the Money and Run. Then see Annie Hall and Manhattan (watch for the best cameo ever by Christo­ pher Walken) and Broaday Danny Rose and commit every line to memory; this is a degree requirement. Then, when you’re sure you re ready, rent Purple Rose of Cairo and Hannah and Her Sisters, which really should have beat out Platoon for the Oscar. When you’ve reached the heights of fanaticism (and only af­ ter you’ve seen Orson W elles' Citizen Kane) see Zelig, with Mia Farrow (above). Then put on earthtones and see Interiors. Farrow (Allen's wife) is in his later stuff; Diane Keaton is in the eariy stuff. Know this, and you can handle an in-depth conversation about his cine­ matic career. — Trish Berrong WELCOME U.T.

A I n R u M l am I I I I I I The World According to Garp The World According to Garp is one of the weirdest movies you'll ever see in your whole life. No, really. That’s why you should see it while you’re in school and being force-fed heavy doses of literary open-mind­ edness. Read John Irving's book after you see the movie, or you'll spend the whole film looking for scenes that had to be sacrificed. First go see Glenn Close and John Lithgow and Robin Williams give won­ derful performances as some of the toughest, best- developed characters of their careers. T.S. Garp (Williams) is the son of Jenny (Close), a war nurse, and a dying soldier who had a constant erection. It just gets better from there — from a society of women who cut their tongues off to John Lithgow playing a man who had a sex change. Garp wants to be a real writer; Jenny just wants to tell her life story, and ends up with a best-seller called Sexual Suspect and a cult following. Williams keeps his usually frantic acting style under tight rein in Garp, showing depth unmatched in any of his roles since. Close is hard-headed and strict but surprisingly warm in her role as a woman who wanted a child, but didn’t want to share her life with a man. Lithgow’s brings convincing femininity to his role as Jenny’s bodyguard; his bond with Jenny’s son is strong, but never threatens Garp’s masculinity. There are many other bit parts in Garp, and all leave an impression. Garp’s wife, a bookish professor who wanted to marry a writer, has an affair with one of her students. The result makes Michael Douglas’ punish­ ment for the same offense in Fatal Attraction seem almost humane. If you’re not ready for it, Garp will seem incredibly schizophrenic. It mixes comedy in drama in propor­ tions no other movie has dared; there’s something sadistically funny in most of the sad moments. But the best part about this movie is that Garp gets his ear bitten off by a dog. That happened to me, too, so I can kinda relate. — Trish Berrong JOIN THE TSP EXPRESS! jmmrnrnm Student Publications | CAPITAL Ir s B G W L ■ í f f f l 452-2518 BOWL EVERY OTHER GAME FR E E ! ★ I i Í I : | S i EXPIRES SEPT. 15, 1988 * T he D aily TEXAN/August 1988/Page 17F Beer and beltydanchig Texas Union’s diversity prevents boredom By Stm MMtas your favorite left-wing radicals and you'll be a hit at the Cactus.

To pay for all this entertainment and recreation, the Union offers a check cashing service on w eekdays from 10 a.m . to 4 p.m . The office is located on the third floor near the Texas Union Ballroom. The U nion also serves as an im­ portant part of academic life.

The Union patio offers a more laid-back atm osphere for people watchers. Finding a table during lunch can be almost im possible, but the payoff is worth it.

The result is a m useum that lacks any coherent them e, exploring disjoint­ ed subjects like some undecided lib­ eral arts major. that O utside, dinosaur track casts from Paluxy Creek, Texas, tell the story of a large plant-eating dino­ saur followed by a smaller, upright, m eat-eating dinosaur. The first floor offers various exhibits from geology and paleontology. You can find var­ ious gem s and purple azurite next to fossils of ancient perch, a 6-foot salam ander ancestor w ith alligator teeth and an early m odel of the ar­ madillo about the size of a Yugo. The second floor features an an­ tique w eaponry collection including various b lu nderb usses, p e p p e r­ boxes, rifles, blades — even a Japa­ nese wakizashi, the smaller of the traditional two sam urai blades. Stuffed Texas animals, including jackrabbits, coyotes, alligators, bi­ son, pelicans and snakes, inhabit the third floor, while the fourth houses various anthropological arti­ facts from Indians in both N orth and South America. ■ ■ ■ A short distance aw ay at 23rd Street and San Jacinto Boulevard, the first edition of the Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery offers a more coherent focus. Across cam pus, at 21st and G ua­ dalupe streets, the second edition of the H untington Gallery offers a more diverse collection. A 1450 G u­ tenberg Bible serves as the center­ piece of the dow nstairs display. Various 19th and 20th century American paintings, m any from the James and Mari M ichener collec­ tion, surround the Scriptures.

In return, LBJ dazzled the world with gifts such as a Hereford bull, a domestic station wagon, a barbecue wagon, pear skin-diving equipm ent and a set of bronchos- copic surgical instrum ents. trees, Various other exhibits credit LBJ with the ultim ate success of the Apollo space program and dem on­ strate his sense of hum or by replay­ ing marginally am using anecdotes from various speeches. Of all the m useum s on cam pus, this has the most m oney and least worth. ■ ■ ■ Austin also has a num ber of his­ toric old houses, a few of which have been converted to m useum s to preserve the m em ories and heri­ tages of the city. The Neill-Cochran House lies closest to cam pus at 2310 San Gabriel St., a fair but not im pos­ two-storv hom e sible walk. This houses many antiques, quite a few of them original to the house. Abner Cook, the builder, also had a hand in many other Austin structures, most notably the Governor's Man­ sion. The house opens from 2-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and merits a look. ■ ■ ■ The French am bassador to the Re­ public of Texas lived in the French Legation Museum, 802 San Marcos St., for five weeks in the 1840s be­ fore the capital was m oved to Wash- ington-on-the-Brazos. O w nership bounced betw een several people be­ fore it finally landed with the Texas governm ent after a few years. The stone-walled estate stands rather in- congrously in East Austin and show s an example of 19th century Texas architecture if nothing else. The m useum opens to the public be­ tw een 1 p.m . and 5 p.m . on desig­ nated days throughout the week. The m useum charges a $2 adm is­ sion. ■ ■ ■ Turning back to the arts, in 1892 the Texas governm ent commis­ sioned a G erm an sculptor nam ed Elisabet Ney to prepare likenesses of Gen. H ouston and Stephen F. Austin for a Chicago exhibit. She m oved from H em pstead to Austin and built a studio — the Elisabet Ney Museum — in the middle of w hat is now a municipal park at 305 E. 44th St. Stonecutter Johann Adam Ney fathered Elisabet Ney in M unster, W estphalia, Germ any, a place not know n for encouraging w om en in artistic pursuits. Ney m anaged to wriggle into the Munich Art Acade­ my and then won a scholarship to Berlin w hen she finished at the top of her class. Berlin brought her under the tu ­ telage of Christian Rauch, and brought her commissions to sculpt such famous, influential and varied men as Jacob Grimm (of Brothers the philosopher Grimm Schopenhauer, King George of Hanover, prototypical pow er broker O tto von Bismarck, even Mad Ludwig II of Bavaria, who built cas­ tles along the Rhine. fame), The Franco-Prussian War pushed Ney and her husband across the sea to Georgia in 1870, and a malaria outbreak m oved them to Texas a couple of years later. She fulfilled her motto, "sursum " ("upw ards"), by producing about 100 pieces in an age w hen wom en were considered too mentally weak to be artistic. The state governm ent preserved her studio, one of four remaining 19th century studios, shortly after her death. The N ation­ al Registry of Historic Sites has en ­ rolled it in its records. Currently, the w ooden structure houses m ain­ sculpture ly plaster casts of her work, includ­ ing her masterpiece, Lady MacBeth, and an oversize bust of Christ. The museum welcomes visitors without charge in the afternoon every day except Monday. Information on the art classes it sponsors can be ob­ tained from the museum staff. ■ ■ ■ the house Turning dow ntow n, William Sidney Porter in lived stands rather quietly at 409 E. Fifth St. The small, green, single-story, four-room house sheltered the w rit­ er, better know n by his pen nam e of "O . H enry," and his wife for three years. the two O. H enry was bom in G reens­ boro, N .C., in 1862. His m other died while he was still a toddler, remaining Porters and m oved into his A unt Evaline's hom e. The aunt ran a gram m ar school, at which H enry received his only formal education. While his aunt taught him English, his uncle taught him pharmacy, and Henry was a licensed pharm acist before his 20th birthday. few years H enry developed a respiratory ailm ent in 1882 and took refuge in the Hill C ountry climate, living on the ranch of his doctor, Richard Hall. A later Henry m oved to Austin and bounced be­ tw een jobs at cigar shops, drug­ stores and real estate offices. Evi­ dently, he rather simply, devoting more time to the young w om en of the area than its possible literary opportunities. lived But in 1887 Henry fluttered a little to close to one of the young ladies and ended up eloping. That same year, he acquired a job as draftsm an at the Old Land Office w hen a friend of his became land commis­ sioner. Four years later, Henry lost his job just as quickly as he had gained it when the adm inistration changed. He scrambled for another job, and settled for a teller position at the First National Bank. Gifted with a literary — not mathem atical — m ind, Henry was less than expert at his position. In 1894 he tried to write himself out of the situation by publishing a weekly satirical new s­ paper, The Rolling Stone. Though it contained many of H enry's first illustrations and attem pts at the short story form, it failed within a year. That sam e year the bank found a shortage in Flenry's books. Several stories abound. Some say that H en­ em bezzled ry, needing m oney, about $800 and then paid it back. O ther contend the bank president's nephew liberated the m issing funds and that Henry was the m ost con­ venient scapegoat.

Though local authori­ ties seem to have been willing to let it go, the federal bank examiners wanted blood and would not be de­ nied. Henry fled to Honduras to es­ cape prosecution. Unfortunately, his wife, Althol, contracted tuberculosis. Prompted by his mother-in-law, Henry re­ turned to Austin to say good-bye to his wife. His return helped his wife's condition, but not enough to save her. She died within months of his return. The authorities did not leave him , though. He was quickly arrested, spent a few m onths in jail aw aiting his trial, and received an efficient conviction in 1898. The only benefit of the whole affair came in the form of his first sale of a short story to a national magazine. The court or­ dered him to prison for five years. Henry spent the next 3Vi years in prison. For the first time, H enry had no distractions and could concen­ trate entirely on his writing. It was the best w orst thing that could have happened to him. His stories began to sell. W hen he finished his term , he had gained enough practice and experience to publish 381 short sto­ ries inside the next eight years. Henry died in New York in 1910 at the age of 48. O. H enry's hom e is open to visi­ tors at no charge during the after­ noons save for M onday.

The current exhibit, "A Stitch in Tim e," displays quilts of the era, and will soon be replaced by an O. Henry exhibit the m useum has worked up. O.

T h e DAILY TEXAN/August 1988/Page 19F Prices range a bit much for college budgets, though no more perhaps than a rock concert. Season tickets range between $40 and $135. All performances are heard in the Per­ forming Arts Center for the 78th season of the Symphony. Reviews have generally been good, and pa­ trons can usually rely on a good performance for the money. For in­ formation on single ticket prices, call 476-6064. As well as its regular season, the Sym phony also features a nationally recognized youth program , free hol­ iday concerts and a sum m er concert program of popular artists. Stepping from music to motion, the University also has its own dance troupe. Unfortunately, nei­ ther schedules nor selections have been determ ined as yet. WWW WWW Ballet Austin starts its 33rd year in 1988, beginning its sixth season as a professional com pany. H oused in an converted fire station at 3002 G uadalupe St., the Ballet also per­ forms at the Performing Arts C en­ ter. Dancers professionally cast out of New York and other places labor under the artistic direction of the re­ spected husband and wife team of Eugene Slavin and Alexandra N a­ dal. The internationally trained and experienced directors lead a troupe of 14 young professional dancers. The season opens Oct. 28 and 29 with the program "W altzes, Polkas and Things" to music by three men nam ed Strauss. "Chicare" and "A Night in the Tropics" will follow, backed by the traditional Nutcracker at yuletide. Season ticket prices range from $33 to $80, while single tickets go between $9 and $19.50. Arriving at the culmination of the arts, opera, which includes music, song, and dance, once again, sched­ ules for the UT opera troupes have not been decided. WWW However, Austin Lyric Opera will open its season Nov. 18 with Verdi's La Traviata, followed by Johann Strauss' Fledermaus, and fin­ ishing with the annual Festival of Stars. The idea for an Austin profession­ al opera, sparked in 1985, took two years to plan. Finally, January 1987 saw M ozart's The Magic Flute per­ formed three times to a com bined total of more than 7,000 people. G ounod's Romeo and Juliet followed in October, while Verdi's A Masked Ball arrived in January. All received the season warm welcomes and ended rather anti-climactically w ith a w ashed-up Tony Randall leading the Festival of Stars in May. The professional com pany ed u ­ cates as well as informs by sending docents to local schools and libraries to help students explore the plays and operas they produce, as they did with Romeo and Juliet and The Masked Ball. Gretchen Johnston esti­ mates they have reached thousands of students through the lectures and materials they have distributed to public schools and libraries. In addition to educating the sur­ local rounding community, community participates in the per­ formance, as the orchestra and cho­ rus are all local volunteers. the Many of the singers have led quite distinguished careers, with m any veterans of the Met, the San Francisco O pera, and European ex­ perience.
