Quote to note

Lack of funds, faculty makes registration more difficult

Trent Lesikar | Daily Texan Staff

Kerry King of Slayer plays on the Orange Stage during Sunday of Fun Fun Fun Fest. Slayer headlined the festival.

According to a 2010 compari-son conducted by the Austin/Travis County Emergency Medical Servic-es, only 34 percent of cardiac arrest patients received bystander CPR in the Austin area compared to Seattle, where more than 60 percent of pa-tients received bystander CPR.

Pierr Bojaxhi, spokesman for Longhorn EMS, said the students will participate for the first time in the Annual National Collegiate EMS Week, which is in its 12th year. The UT group will participate by hosting first aid training events for students on campus on Monday and Tuesday.

“We have contributed to solving this issue by directly teaching over 700 individuals bystander CPR with most of them being either students or faculty in the campus area,” Bo-jaxhi said.

Monday’s event will promote Na-tional CPR Day by focusing on by-stander CPR and compression-on-ly training where students will be taught what to do in case someone falls down or passes out.

“We want to increase campus safety and increase awareness of

EMS services in general,” Bojax-hi said.

Longhorn EMS has teamed up for this event with Take Heart Aus-tin, a branch of a national Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survival Initiative and Take 10, a 10-minute training session that teaches compression-only CPR.

Yang Liu, Community Educa-tion captain of Longhorn EMS, said the most important thing for students to learn is the com-pression training.

“CPR is one of those skills you never hope to use, but when you have to, you do it properly and know the steps to take,” Liu said. “It’s really all about muscle memory, just prac-ticing over and over again until you get good at it.”

Tuesday’s event will concentrate on first aid classes and training, such as bandaging for bleeding control.

Longhorn EMS is a fairly new branch of Student Government that is looking forward to working with the University, Liu said.

The program is part of the Na-tional Collegiate EMS foundation, made up of all the collegiate EMS

From stories about the Uni-versity’s first dormitory to the birth of “The Eyes of Texas,” the campus has a rich history the UT community explored over the weekend.

Students, staff and UT Alum-ni “prowled” around campus Fri-day night for the 500th Moonlight Prowl tour, exploring different parts of the original Forty Acres and the history and stories behind several locations on campus.

One tour stop discussed old Brackenridge Hall, commonly known as B-Hall, which was an inexpensive men’s dormitory in the 1890s that housed students who came to Austin with as little as a single change of clothes.

“B-Hall students were the clas-sic stories of poor boys to doc-tors and lawyers,” said Jim Nicar, tour guide and Texas Exes’ di-rector of campus relations. “We even had two U.S. Senators come out of B-Hall.”

A tour stop revealed the use of “sit-ins” on Guadalupe Street

during the Civil Rights Move-ments of the 1960s, where pro-testers sat in a location until they were evicted or arrested.

Friday marked the 50th anni-versary of this protest strategy at UT which began at the Varsi-ty Theater on Guadalupe in 1961, Nicar said.

“African-Americans who at-tended only the UT Law School couldn’t do anything on the Drag without being segregat-ed,” Nicar said. “The sit-ins

For the fun fun fun of it

High demand for classes makes registration a hassle for students, but recent budget cuts make it more dif-ficult for students to get into classes necessary for graduation.

Limited classroom space and lack of funds to hire more class instructors restricts course avail-ability, said Theresa Thomas, se-nior academic adviser in the Col-lege of Communication. She said some classes with reputa-tions for being easy fill up faster than other classes that satisfy the same requirements.

Thomas said compared to astron-omy, physical science has a reputa-tion for being one of the “better sci-ences,” but more students plan to take the course than it can hold.

“There just aren’t enough seats for every student to take it,” Thomas said.

Thomas said there is less space available in courses that First-Year Interest Groups reserve seats in, such as Psychology 301. She also said Spanish 601 is in high demand every semester since so many

Moonlight Prowl conducts 500th UT tour

By Sylvia ButandaDaily Texan Staff

Approximately 100 Occupy Austin pro-testers gathered at City Hall on Saturday morning and marched to the Wells Far-go branch at Congress Avenue and East Riverside Drive to participate in National Bank Transfer Day.

Dave Cortez, the head of the Occupy Austin bank action committee, said Sat-urday’s protests resulted in 11 customers closing their accounts and approximately $15,000 withdrawn from the internation-al bank.

As the protesters marched to the Wells

Fargo branch across the Congress Avenue Bridge, many chose to walk in the street without an official permit to do so. Cortez said the police told him this was an illegal action and then screened him for outstand-ing arrest warrants. For the march back to City Hall, police agreed to escort protesters across the bridge in one lane.

Despite the disobedience by some pro-testers on the bridge, Sgt. Lee Syga of the Austin Police Department said Saturday’s march occurred without any incident.

“It went great,” Syga said. “It was peace-ful, and there was nothing really going on.”

services in the country.“We want to inform the stu-

dents about life-changing pro-cedures and encourage everyone to know about them,” said Kirk Meyers, Longhorn EMS’ direc-tor of operations. “If you’re ever in a situation where you have to

help a person, you’ll use the skills you learned.”

Monday’s CPR training will be held in front of Jester from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Tuesday’s first aid classes will be hosted in CMA A3.112 from 5 to 5:45 p.m. and from 6-6:45 p.m.

swept the nation, and after six months, the Varsity Theater agreed to integrate and the rest of the Drag followed.”

Nov. 2 marked the 50th an-niversary of the nation’s larg-est “panty raid” in 1961, where more than 3,000 male stu-dents made their way to sev-eral women’s dormitories and sorority houses and demanded their underclothes.

“The movement was protest-ing against entry restrictions to campus dorms of the opposite gender,” Nicar said.

The last stop of the tour discussed the timeline of the University’s football and base-ball programs and how stu-dents went from building the first football stands to an en-tire football stadium.

“Students wanted some stands for the last football game of the season, and in less than two weeks with less than $600, they built stands that seated around 3,500 people,” Nicar said.

One student was surprised and interested in the several stories Nicar shared about the Universi-ty’s early student generations.

“The activities of the students were so focused on the campus, whereas nowadays, it seems like everyone does their own thing,” said history senior James Sutton. “Everyone was so connected.”

The 500th Prowl was signif-icant to one staff member who wanted to know more about the campus’ interesting history.

“I was interested in his little tidbits and behind-the scenes information that you don’t know about,” said Cynthia Aranda, administrative associ-ate in the School of Law. “When I saw it was going to be the 500th Prowl, I thought it would be a good time to go to be a part of history.”

The staff of the Wells Fargo branch was unable to comment on the protests.

Former Wells Fargo cus-tomer Cameron Field said the process of closing his account went smoothly, and he is now going to open an account with a credit union.

“[Wells Fargo] was very po-lite, and they knew why we were out there,” Field said. “Now, it feels good to not have my money tied to a bank that made risky investments and got bailed out.”

In an interview with the Daily Texan last week, senior finance lecturer Regina Hughes said the primary difference between credit unions and commercial banks is the ownership.

Hughes said commercial banks, such as Bank of Amer-ica and Wells Fargo, are for-profit entities owned by share-holders. Credit unions are con-trolled by their members, who directly make policies for other members and are not necessar-ily looking to make huge prof-its. They also do not provide the same variety of services, such as types of investments, offered by major commercial banks. Com-mercial banks, she said, are cor-porations that invite people to become customers, but their goals can be different and sepa-

rate from those customers.Cortez said he is involved

with Occupy Austin’s commit-tee to provide information-al tool kits for people who are interested in closing their bank accounts and switching to a lo-cal credit union.

“In Austin, we have coordi-nated the withdrawal of over $430,000 from the major banks,” Cortez said. “It shows that peo-ple have some power against the big banks and is a tangible mo-rale booster for the [Occupy movement].”

Current Wells Fargo custom-er Andrea Street said she is seri-ously considering closing her ac-count because of the way the ma-jor banks treat their customers.

“Wells Fargo is making their customers pay extra fees to cov-er for the fines the federal gov-ernment is making them pay for their violations,” Street said. “We are out here to hit them in the pocket where it counts.”

Protester Leslie Perry said she closed her Wells Fargo account in 1994 to join a credit union and is excited to see more peo-ple doing so now.

“I am very anxious yet op-timistic to see what’s going to come out of all this,” Perry said. “People are finally realizing our whole monetary system is set up to serve the rich.”

students take it to fulfill a lan-guage requirement.

“There are only so many sections of it, and they can only put so many students in it because of the way the course is taught,” Thomas said.

Thomas said the $92 million cut in state funding from the last legislative session makes it more difficult to pay enough facul-ty to teach, which is a problem across the University.

“Within every major, there are classes that are high demand so they have to funnel all of their stu-dents through it,” Thomas said.

Government sophomore Glen Olivarez said he stayed on the waitlist for Introduction to The-ater for a few weeks last year un-til he got into the class. Olivarez said he specifically wanted to take theater to fulfill his fine arts cred-it because he’s been involved in theater since sixth grade. He said it frustrated him as a freshman to try to sign up for Spanish 601 since he could not get a spot.

“It was never open,” Olivarez

said. “I didn’t even have a chance.”He said he had to wait to take

Spanish until he had a better reg-istration time this year, and he still had difficulty in finding a section that fit into his schedule.

“Some kids can’t graduate on time because they can’t get the classes they need,” Olivarez said. “They need to take into account that this goes towards your degree, and if you don’t get in you have to wait a semester.”

Architecture and engineering senior lecturer Hillary Hart said the degree plans within some col-leges and schools are less flexible. She said some examples are engi-neering sequences.

“They have to be taken in or-der, so if you don’t get them you’re messed up,” Hart said.

She said the lack of funding is the most significant factor that makes it difficult for students to get the classes they need.

“We don’t have enough fac-ulty — that’s the bottom line,” Hart said.

Rebel group confirms death, reasserts 47-year old mission

BOGOTA, Colombia — Colom-bia’s main rebel group has acknowl-edged the death in combat of its leader, Alfonso Cano, and has de-clared illusory any notions it means the end of their 47-year-old insur-gency.

The leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, is characteristically defiant in a com-munique that derides the “guffaws” and “enthusiastic toasts” of Colom-bia’s establishment.

The communique posted on the Sweden-registered Anncol website late Saturday is signed by the FARC’s senior command.

It pays homage to Cano, who was killed Friday.The brief message makes it clear Cano will be replaced. It says he died fervently convinced of the need for a political solution to Colombia’s long-running conflict.

Rescuers search for survivors after mudslide in northwest

BOGOTA, Colombia — Rescuers are searching for signs of life amid mud and rubble after a rain-fueled landslide buried homes in north-western Colombia, killing at least 21 people.

Red Cross rescue director Cesar Uruena says between 20 and 40 peo-ple remain missing from Saturday’s landslide in Manizales, 165 kilome-ters (102 miles) northwest of the cap-ital, Bogota.

Uruena said Sunday that 29 bodies have been identified.

The landslide was caused by heavy rains that caused part of a mountain slope to collapse.

Rescuers are using back hoes and earthmovers to search for survivors. Uruena says they think “there is still a chance of finding life.”

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Among the alliances of conve-nience in the Middle East, one is so unusual that the partners can bare-ly hint about it publicly: Israel and the Gulf Arab states’ shared fears over Iran’s nuclear program.

While their deeper disputes on the Palestinians block any strategic breakthroughs, the recent warnings from Israel and the West about mil-

itary options against Iran invariably draw in the Gulf and its rare meet-ing of minds with Jerusalem.

The Gulf states — a cornerstone for U.S. diplomatic and military pressure on Iran — are indispens-able parts of any effort to confront Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. And even Israel, which has no direct diplomatic outreach to the Gulf, is likely brought into the Gulf-centric policymaking with U.S. envoys act-ing as go-betweens, experts say.

“I would be surprised if there is

no knowledge about the Saudi po-sitions (in Israel) or knowledge in Saudi of the Israeli positions,” said David Menashri, director of the Center for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University.

It’s part of a complicated mix of mutual worries and divergent risks — the Gulf, unlike Israel, has criti-cal commercial and diplomatic ties with Iran — that puts Washington in the middle as the common ally and chief Western architect of pres-sure tactics on Iran.

The next moves are expected af-ter the U.N. nuclear watchdog agen-cy releases an intelligence report Tuesday to its 35 board members.

Early leaks from diplomats sug-gest the document will indicate Iran has made computer models of a nu-clear warhead and conducted oth-er weapons-related work, which would strongly reinforce suspicions that Iran is working toward atom-ic weapons. Iran denies it seeks to develop nuclear arms and claims its program, including uranium en-

richment labs, is only for energy and research.

In response to the reports last week, Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi accused the International Atomic Energy Agency of giving in to U.S. pressure to level the accusa-tions, which he said were based on fabricated intelligence.

“Iran has already responded to the alleged studies in 117 pages. We’ve said time and again that these are forgeries similar to faked notes,” Salehi told reporters in Tehran.

SPARKS, Okla. — Clouds of dust belched from the corners of almost every room in Joe Reneau’s house as the biggest earthquake in Oklahoma history rocked the two-story building.

A roar that sounded like a jum-bo jet filled the air, and Reneau’s red-brick chimney collapsed and fell into the roof above the living room. By the time the shaking stopped, a pan-try worth of food had been strewn across the kitchen and shards of glass and pottery covered the floor.

“It was like WHAM!” said Re-neau, 75, gesturing with swipes of his arms. “I thought in my mind the house would stand, but then again, maybe not.”

The magnitude 5.6 earthquake and its aftershocks still had residents rattled Sunday.

Two minor injuries were reported from Saturday’s quakes by the Okla-homa Department of Emergen-cy Management, which said neither person was hospitalized. And, aside from a buckled highway and the col-lapse of a tower on the St. Gregory’s

University administration building in Shawnee, no major damage was reported.

But the weekend earthquakes were among the strongest yet in a state that has seen an unexplained increase in seismic activity.

Oklahoma typically had about 50 earthquakes a year until 2009. Then the number spiked, and 1,047 quakes shook the state last year, prompting researchers to install seismographs in the area. Most of the earthquakes have been small.

Saturday night’s big one jolted Oklahoma State University’s stadi-um shortly after the No. 3 Cowboys defeated No. 17 Kansas State. Fans were still leaving the game.

“That shook up the place, had a lot of people nervous,” Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon said.

The temblor sent Jesse Richards’ wife running outside because she thought their home was going to collapse. The earthquake centered near their home in Sparks, 44 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, could be felt throughout the state and in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, north-ern Texas and some parts of Illinois and Wisconsin.

Richards estimated it lasted for as much as a minute. One of his wife’s cookie jars fell and shattered, and

pictures hanging in their living room were knocked askew.

“We’ve been here 18 years, and it’s

getting to be a regular occurrence,” said Richards, 50. But, he added, “I hope I never get used to them.”

Discrimination and Texas’ brand and prattle

MyEdu decision process � awed

By Zoya WalianyDaily Texan Columnist

By Larisa ManescuDaily Texan Columnist

In the current political climate, buzzwords such as “oil,” “the Middle East” and “terrorist” are con-stantly thrust into the faces of the American public. Including modern-day witch-hunts in Congress, blatant stereotyping in the media and outright acts of hatred, a new type of racism is pervading our so-ciety. � e latest villain of America comes in many forms — the Muslim, the Arab, the Arab Muslim — but can best be summarized by a single phrase unfortunately immortalized by the popular � lm Team America: World Police — “Dirka dirka!” Tex-as, no stranger to discrimination of many varieties, has participants in this new vili� cation of Muslims and Arabs as well, perpetuating the stereotype of uninformed, ignorant Texans throughout theUnited States.

� e Los Angeles Times published a story Nov. 1 about the radio ad of Texas handgun instructor Crockett Keller. In the ad, which was played on the local station near Keller’s hometown of Ma-son, Texas, about 100 miles west of Austin, Keller advertises his beginner’s concealed handgun class. Later in the ad, Keller quali� es, “If you are a social-ist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner in chief, please do not take this class. You’ve al-ready proven that you cannot make a knowledge-able and prudent decision as required under the law. Also, if you are a non-Christian Arab or Mus-lim, I will not teach you this class.” � e video has reached more than 37,000 hits on YouTube and has sparked intensive debate on the issue of ter-

rorism and ignorance in America.Speaking in that slow, familiar Texas twang,

Keller blatantly discriminates against Arabs and maligns liberals as incapable socialists. As the You-Tube clip went viral, Keller encountered much crit-icism from both YouTube users and news stations across America reporting on the intolerant ad. One resounding agreement among YouTube comment-ers: “Texas is a disgrace to America.”

In the eyes of many, Texas has proven itself to be the prejudiced simpleton of the South, wielding weapons and name-calling a minority. From the legacy of questionable politicians cum president (and potential president) to the presumed regard that Texas should be an independent republic, the most damaging stereotype is that of the racist Tex-an. � ough not true of all Texans, this stereotype continues because of a lack of su� cient condemna-tion of discriminatory language or actions.

While this video may seem a far cry from the opinions of most educated Texans, this form of rac-ism has manifested itself even in politically modern cities such as Austin and, even more disappoint-ingly, on UT’s campus. For committing crimes as repugnant as riding the E-bus or purchasing gas from 7-11, Muslim students, in addition to Indian students, have encountered discrimination in the form of racist epithets, threats of physical alter-cations and demands to “go back to [their] own country.” At a campus as diverse and notable as UT, these forms of outright discrimination are dis-graceful and contrary to our university’s achieving progress and success in the future.

� ough Texas is characteristically considered

racist, we cannot disregard the racism exercised by our entire country. How can we prevent this plague of prejudice within our society when many elite � g-ures, including wildly popular politician Herman Cain, are spreading these stereotypes? Attempting to generate widespread appeal, he regularly ex-presses his contempt and lack of trust for American Muslims and Arabs . In addition to stating that any community has the right to ban mosques, he also charges that he would issue a “loyalty test” to only Muslims were he to ever appoint them to govern-ment positions and erroneously fears the spread of Sharia law in American courts. � e fact that the current top Republican presidential candidate overtly harbors ill will to a speci� c segment of our population demonstrates that this discrimination is becoming normalized in society.

Keller’s ad has now been removed from air, but the YouTube clip remains popular on the web, just as the idea of prejudice against American Muslims and Arabs remains prevalent. � is dangerous dis-crimination not only a� ects the lives of American Muslims and Arabs, a vital part of our country’s “melting pot” population, but also damages our society as a whole. As Texas increasingly becomes one of the most in� uential states, Texans need to reject these prejudices and abolish the perception of our state as a hub for racism. Harsher condem-nation for discrimination, such as Herman Cain’s suggested policies, and education and dialogue about unfamiliar cultures are mandatory for our country’s progress.

Many students, especially during the rushed chaos of registration, have familiarized themselves with the Austin-based website MyEdu.com, an online tool that o� ers professor reviews, schedule planners and an active forum for students to discuss and exchange recommen-dations and advice on di� erent courses. � e site plays on our genera-tion’s gravitation toward social media, as “more than 75 percent of undergraduates at Austin are already registered with the service,” said MyEdu Senior Vice President Frank Lyman, according to a recent ar-ticle from Inside Higher Ed . � e private company’s growing popularity with students, in combination with the ever-present desire to increase the University’s four-year graduation rate, in� uenced the UT Board of Regents to partner with My Edu, making a he� y investment of $10 million — 22.5 percent of the entire company.

� e investment is wrapped up in the rhetoric of student democracy; positive verbal feedback about MyEdu in general has been used to jus-tify the recently exposed deal. However, two main issues reveal a � awed decision-making process. � e investment was made without any prior consultation with UT faculty, and its bene� ts are grossly overstated, as no substantial evidence about how successful MyEdu would be in im-proving graduation rates.

“MyEdu will help our students graduate in less time and signi� cant-ly reduce their overall cost of education,” Chancellor Francisco Cigar-roa insisted in a statement . � is explanation for the investment heavily simpli� es the solution to lingering and complex problems facing the University. Moreover, it is troubling that UT President William Powers Jr., who emphasized the need for higher graduation rates in his State of the University Address, does not support the $10-million investment. According to the Austin American-Statesman , in a speech to UT Fac-ulty Council, Powers stated he would have had “di� erent priorities” for the $10 million and that the decision was one “of the board, not a deci-sion of the campus.”

Additionally, UT faculty are upset that they were not included in the dialogue. Last week’s Faculty Council meeting re� ected key con-cerns expressed by the members. Some faculty members said the information on MyEdu has been “inaccurate” or “out-of-date,” and the site’s emphasis on the historic grade distributions for di� erent courses and professors might encourage students to chart a path of least resistance.”

Although the idealistic notion is that this investment will improve the accuracy of MyEdu, such a considerable investment in a private company should be done with the reassurance that the company is al-ready well-established and known to be e� ective. From a student’s per-spective, the concern about students relying on the grade distribution can be paci� ed with the knowledge that many students look at more than just this distribution, sharing advice about whether the profes-sor provides useful resources, gives interesting lectures and is gener-ally fair, likable and interested in the success of his students. However, faculty reserve the right to be concerned about what speci� cally this investment will do. Since it was initially undertaken in such a clandes-tine manner, there is no reassurance that there will be � nancial trans-parency in the speci� cs of the money distribution.

� e decision of the UT Board of Regents to invest in the private company MyEdu appears impulsive, poorly deliberated and, most controversially, exclusive to key o� cials. Members of the board are scrambling to defend the investment as generous and rationalize the perceived bene� ts as valuable to professors, students and the reputa-tion of the University. However, even if the decision was made with honorable intentions, the failure to include all previously listed inter-ests in the decision-making process undermines its potential success. More representative debate prior to the investment could have result-ed in a decision that ensured the University has its priorities straight in its persistent struggle to tackle issues such as less-than-acceptable graduation rates.

Failing to see the big picture in the MyEdu debate

Allow us to introduce ourselves as three recent UT graduates who are loud-and-proud — and non-“Perry backing” — employees of MyEdu. Whether it is through familiar channels including Facebook, Twitter and email or even old-school telephone calls and face-to-face conver-sations, we interact with thousands of students who utilize MyEdu to benefit their academic careers. Using words such as “indispensible” and “the best thing to come out since sliced bread,” these students are not simply looking for the “easiest” professors or for A’s. They rely on MyEdu to help navigate the bumpy path to earning a degree and over-come academic setbacks. Recent articles and commentary fail to see the big picture and facts surrounding MyEdu’s partnership with the UT System. Yes, education is in a crisis. Thankfully, the UT System Board of Regents recognizes that future success requires radical change. Kudos to the regents for stepping up to the plate and doing something about it. Time will tell, but we know they made the right choice. We are excited that our alma mater is a part of a system that is dedicated to helping students. It is an incredible advantage to be three of the few people who actually know how and why this start-up company formed. And there is something special about being a part of all the hard work and decisions that motivates us to fulfill our mission of improving students’ college journey in a revolutionary way.

WASHINGTON — Thousands of protesters gathered in Lafay-ette Square across from the White House on Sunday to oppose a plan for a transnational oil pipeline they fear could harm the environment.

At one point, the crowd linked hands to surround the White House, keeping up pressure on President Barack Obama as his administration decides whether to approve the mas-sive Keystone XL project.

Demonstrators chanted, “Yes we can, stop the pipeline,” while other protesters carried a plastic tube sim-ulating the pipeline that would run 1,700 miles through six states. The protest drew support from actor Mark Ruffalo, Presidential Medal of Freedom winner John Adams and NASA scientist James Hansen, each of whom spoke to the crowd.

The proposed pipeline by devel-oper TransCanada would carry oil derived from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Houston and Port Arthur, Texas. Opponents say it would bring “dirty oil” that requires huge amounts of energy to extract and could cause an ecological disas-ter in case of a spill. They are call-ing on Obama to block the $7 billion project, which is currently being re-

viewed by the State Department.Obama missed most of the protest

while he played golf at Fort Belvoir in Virginia during the afternoon.

Dan Quigley, a freshman at St. Michael’s College in Colchester, Ver-mont, traveled by bus with about 40 students to attend the protest. The 19-year-old said the pipeline could have an adverse effect..

“It’s putting a lot of time and effort into something that’s pulling us into a wrong direction,” he said. “If we are going to do anything this large scale it has to be something that’s proac-tive for helping the environment.”

TransCanada spokesman James Millar said the pipeline would help reduce American dependence on oil from the Middle East and Venezuela while creating thousands of new con-struction and manufacturing jobs.

“Killing Keystone just leads to more of the same — hundreds of oil tankers shipping millions of bar-rels of higher priced oil across our oceans to American shores,” Millar said in a statement.

Bill McKibben, founder of the cli-mate safety grassroots movement 350.org, said demonstrators hoped Obama would live up to the im-age that helped him win election in 2008.

“He’s completely capable of doing the right thing,” McKibben said.

In two adjacent rooms, the Visu-al Arts Center now has an exhibi-tion featuring three undergraduate art students’ work and one featur-ing almost 1,000 DVDs with video art by Israeli artists.

About 200 people attended the opening of the two exhibitions Fri-day. In “Looking for a Fight,” three studio art students — Lucy Parker, Isabella Burden and Layne Bell — showcased their work in an exhibi-tion produced by the Center Space Project, a student organization at the VAC. The Mobile Archive, a travel-ing collection from the Israeli Cen-ter for Digital Art, will be at the cen-ter through Dec. 17.

Studio art senior Parker, one of the artists showcased in the stu-dent exhibition, said the theme of female gender roles has a deep connection to the artists’ personal lives.

“We have to think about it ev-ery day because we’re constantly re-minded of our bodies and of our re-lationships,” Parker said. “There’s no way we can’t think about our aes-thetics because they really are a part of our personal lives.”

Noah Simblist, a 2010-2011 VAC curatorial fellow, organized the Mo-bile Archive exhibition with current curatorial fellow Kate Green. Sim-blist said the exhibition would give students a unique opportunity to view video art.

“Video is often the kind of thing

that is not usually very accessi-ble just because a lot of video art is sold in editions,” Simblist said. “If it’s a video, often we can’t reproduce it too many times because that’s the work of art itself.”

Allie Underwood, president of the Center Space Project, said the student exhibition was one of four exhibitions the group chose in col-laboration with Visual Arts Center staff this year from 24 student pro-posals. Underwood said she was interested in the students’ feminist theme.

“I like this idea of the feminine but then it also making you sort of un-comfortable,” Underwood said. “It’s an interesting way to think about fe-male and the female body, but then also how there’s also sort of a pow-

er to it.”Underwood said the Center

Space Project provides a unique opportunity for students, especial-ly undergraduates, to learn how to put together art shows as curators and artists.

“There’s not a class on how to put together an exhibition, how to pro-pose a show or anything like that, and this space has allowed us to do that,” she said.

Studio art senior Sarah Jump-er said she enjoyed the variety of artwork in the Looking for a Fight exhibit.

“I really like how they incorporat-ed video and sculpture and photogra-phy,” Jumper said. “It shows that they have a broader spectrum of ways of working and thinking.”

Saints of Valory, a local alter-native band, rocked the Student Activity Center to raise money for senior citizens.

The Saturday benefit concert was planned by the UT orga-nization Senior Smiles. Senior Smiles is a service organization under the University of Texas Student Volunteer Board. Se-nior Smiles works to give back to the elderly community in Austin. All proceeds from the benefit concert will be used to throw a Senior Prom for a local retirement home.

Director of the organization, pre-pharmacy sophomore Ash-ley Fosshat said she got the idea for Saints of Valory to play be-cause she won a Facebook tick-et contest and got hooked on their music.

“Basically, I won the tickets to one of their shows,” Fosshat said. “That gave me the idea of inviting them to UT, and when they said yes, I was so happy.”

Fosshat said Senior Smiles raised roughly $600 total, and there will be a volunteer reach

out day on Saturday, Nov. 12 for the greater Aust in and UT community.

“The money we raised tonight should be more than enough to hire a DJ and buy some cute decorations for a nice Senior

Prom,” Fosshat said.The co-director of Senior

Smiles, Breighl Mobley, said the organization also volunteers at local retirement homes, and its mission is to bring smiles to the faces of senior citizens who may not be visited often by

their families.“The thing I like about our

organization the most is that it is a volunteer organization that goes only to the seniors in Austin, so you know it will help those in our community,” Mobley said.

Fosshat said the organization currently volunteers at the Bar-ton Hills private nursing home, but it hopes to throw the prom at a state-sponsored facility where the needs are greater.

Engl ish sophomore Wen-dy Anderson said she is proud to be a member of the orga-nization because it makes her feel good.

“Saints of Valory is a real-ly great band, and they did an awesome job,” Anderson said. “Since our organization is local, it is nice that we invited a lo-cal band. It creates a great sense of community.”

One concert attendee, Heather Mc-Daniel, came from Tennessee to visit her friend and said she decided to go to the concert to support the cause.

“I’m always into trying new things,” McDaniel said. “I think it’s so awesome that the band agreed to

Program targets drunken driving

Julia Bunch | Daily Texan Staff

Jacki Camarillo, account assistant for ThinkStreet, passes out fans to people attending the Texas vs. Texas Tech football game on Saturday morning. ThinkStreet ran the campaign against game day drinking and driving.

By Allison HarrisDaily Texan Staff

About 6 percent of the 25,000 drunken driving accidents in Tex-as last year occurred the same day a Texas football team was playing, and the Texas Department of Transporta-tion was on campus Saturday to dis-courage post-game DWIs.

The department positioned a truck outside Gate 25 of Darrell K. Roy-al-Texas Memorial Stadium on Sat-urday, which processes many stu-dent tickets, as part of a campaign to spread awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving on football game days. About 40 people stopped to take pictures at the truck, which featured a mock living room with six people watching a game and two cut-outs of football players taking keys outside the truck.

The truck has been traveling to dif-ferent locations in the state during the college and professional football sea-sons since last year. The campaign also includes radio and television ad-vertisements.

Terry Pence, Texas Department of Transportation traffic safety di-rector, said Texas leads the nation in the number of alcohol-related crash-es and fatal accidents.

“A lot of times people get into sit-uations when they’re tailgating or watching a game for multiple hours, and they’re not paying attention to the amount of alcohol that they’re consuming because they’re sitting there having a good time, visiting with friends and family,” Pence said.

Pence said people should plan ahead to have a designated driver if they want to drink. He also advised sober people to take keys from im-paired friends and make sure they get home safely.

Samantha Traeger, student co-chair of ATX Rides, said the orga-nization began offering free rides to and from downtown in fall 2010. Typically, 40 to 50 volunteers from four Christian ministries drive peo-ple from two West Campus pick-up locations two Fridays a month and take them home later from a stop downtown. They serve an average of

300 to 400 people each night. Trae-ger said the members are invested in the safety of campus, which drunken driving threatens.

“We never want to see our friends, our peers or classmates in a situa-tion where they’ve experienced a ma-jor negative consequence from drunk driving,” Traeger said.

Traeger said sometimes people’s plans to have designated drivers can fall through, but ATX Rides can pro-vide a backup.

“Many times, that is their plan, but as they go downtown, they lose their plan more and more,” Traeger said. “I just think it’s always good to have familiarity with pickup locations for other designated drivers.”

H o u s t o n A r m y r e c r u i t -er Joe Batten said he didn’t think the campaign would actually stop anyone from drinking and driving.

“People who drink and drive are generally irresponsible anyway,” Batten said. “They’re not going to care about what this little thing says. They know what they’re doing is wrong anyway.”

They put up a valiant fight, but ultimately the Longhorns fell to the Oklahoma State Cow-girls, 1-0, in the semifinal round o f t h e B i g 1 2 C h a m p i o n s h i p Tournament. Tex-as took the No. 2 team in the coun-try through two overtimes before a late shot from the Cowgirls prevent-ed the Longhorns from advancing to the final round.

The loss push-es Texas to 11-8-1 on the season and 3-5-1 in conference play. Earlier this season, the Longhorns drew with the Cowgirls 1-1 in Stillwa-ter after two overtimes proved not enough to sever the tie.

Both teams were almost even in shots taken during regulation

time. After 90 minutes of play with the score tied 0-0, the game went into overtime. During the first overtime, the Cowgirls took five shots on goal to the Long-horn’s zero, but the Longhorn defense was able to push the

g a m e i n t o a sudden de at h second overtime.

With two min-utes left in the sec-ond overtime, ju-nior goalkeeper Alexa Gaul missed a shot by Oklaho-ma State’s Kristen Kelley that ended the game.

Oklahoma State faced Texas A&M Sunday evening in

the final round of the tournament.The Longhorns hope their post-

season efforts and regular sea-son record will earn them a spot in the NCAA post-season tour-nament. Selection for the tourna-ment is this evening.

Missouri leaving Big 12 for SEC, WVU will replace them in 2012

Missouri’s move to the SEC be-came official on Sunday and they will join the league effective July 1, 2012.

“We believe the Southeastern Conference is an outstanding home for the Mizzou Tigers, and we take pride in our association with the distinguished league,” said Mis-souri Chancellor Brady J. Deaton.

But, the Big 12 issued a statement on Friday announcing the approval of West Virginia University into the conference effective July 1. 2012.

“This is another step in build-ing a strong foundation for the fu-ture of the Big 12,” said Oklahoma State University President Burns Hargis, the chairman of the Big 12 Board of Directors.

SPORTS BRIEFLY

The Longhorns didn’t skip a beat without their leading rusher and receiver.

Joe Bergeron rushed for 191 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries as Texas manhandled Tex-as Tech up front en route to a 52-20 win at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

The Longhorns (6-2; 3-2 Big 12) pounded out 439 yards on the ground, their second straight game with at least 400 rushing yards. Texas drove into the red zone six times and came away with six touchdowns — all rushing.

For the first time this season, UT didn’t punt. The only drives that didn’t result in points were two short possessions to end each half. Freshman tailback Malcolm Brown, who leads the team with 635 rushing yards, missed the game with turf toe, and No. 1 re-ceiver Jaxon Shipley was held out with a knee injury. Both were game-time decisions, and Tex-as head coach Mack Brown said he didn’t expect such a lopsid-ed score minus his two biggest offensive threats.

“I’m a little shocked,” said Brown, who improved to 11-3 against Tech.

Bergeron, who celebrated his 19th birthday Saturday, picked up right where he left off a week ago

against Kansas, when the fresh-man rushed for 136 yards and two scores. He burst free for a 51-yard gain in the second quarter, the longest run for Texas this season.

He capped a 7-play, 68-yard drive with a nine-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, his first of the game. He also scored from five and 12 yards out. Bergeron’s 29 carries were a career high, and he got stronger as the game wore on and the Red Raider defense tired.

“After a while, the defense will crack,” Bergeron said. “When you keep pounding the ball, eventual-ly they will crack. And then you keep pounding the ball.”

That’s exactly what the Long-horns did. Texas rushed 54 times, compared to just nine pass at-tempts. But when freshman quar-terback David Ash did drop back, he found open receivers down-field on play-action.

Ash went 4-for-7 for 125 yards and for the first time in his three games as a starter, didn’t turn the ball over.

Texas Tech (5-3; 2-3) drove down the field on the game’s opening possession, with quarter-back Seth Doege completing 9-of-11 passes. The Red Raiders had a first-and-goal from the 2-yard line but after a slew of penalties, settled for a field goal.

The Longhorns defense again stopped Tech in the red zone in the second quarter after the Red Raid-

ers drove 61 yards in seven plays.“It was huge,” said senior safe-

ty Blake Gideon. “We want to keep them out of the end zone; that’s the main thing. If we can hold them to field goals, we know our offense is going to catch up eventually.”

The Longhorns scored on their opening possession for the sec-ond time in as many weeks. After Fozzy Whittaker’s 12-yard touch-down run in the second quarter to put UT ahead 10-3, the Long-horns never looked back.

Whittaker finished with 10 car-ries for 83 yards and two scores. He picked up 41 yards and both touchdowns when taking direct snaps out of the “Wild” formation.

That package was very effective against the Red Raiders. Junior tailback D.J. Monroe took a hand-off from Whittaker and carried 12 yards for a touchdown in the sec-ond quarter, his first of the season.

The Longhorns outrushed the Red Raiders by 409 yards and held them 19 points below their average.

That’s the blueprint Texas needs to reach their goal of 10 wins.

“If you don’t turn the ball over, run the ball and stop the run, you have a chance each week,” Brown said.

Malcolm Brown could have played, but Bergeron assured the Longhorns could afford to rest their leading rusher. The coach-ing staff said they expect Brown to play next week at Missouri.

OVER-RAIDED

Elisabeth Dillon | Daily Texan Staff

Cornerback Carrington Byndom (23) takes down Texas Tech’s Austin Zouzalik during Saturday’s game. The defense held the Red Raiders to just 30 yards total rushing and had 13 total tackles for loss.

After the game, he signed more autographs than the num-ber of passes he threw during the contest.

But David Ash made the most of them. The freshman quarterback attempted just sev-en passes, completing four with three of them going for at least 24 yards. In his third career start, Ash threw for 125 yards and ran for 59 more on only four carries. He was sacked only once and, most impor-tantly, did not commit a turn-over for the first time in more than a month.

“He’s really getting efficient as a quarterback,” said head coach Mack Brown. “The third down and four where he ran for 47 yards was a good decision. He made some great throws.”

Ash made significant strides in Texas’ 52-20 win over Texas Tech, its seventh straight over the Red Raiders at home. In his first game after being made the full-time starter, Ash aver-aged just 3.5 yards per attempt. Against Texas Tech, that num-ber skyrocketed to 17.9. Ash also remained interception free after being picked off five times in his last three games.

Decision-making had giv-en Ash problems in previous contests, but the few times his number was called, he made the smart move. On the third-and-

four, the final play of the first quarter, Ash looked at two re-ceivers, saw they weren’t open and took off for a 47-yard gain. Later in the first half, Ash was flushed out of the pocket, real-ized no one was open and threw the ball away. Joe Bergeron scored two plays later.

“That’s hard to learn,” Ash said. “You always want to keep compet-ing and make that big play. To be able to realize nothing’s there — they covered it, you can’t run, don’t take the sack and throw it away — that’s huge.”

Case McCoy replaced Ash in the fourth quarter and capped off his only drive with a 31-yard touchdown toss to Dar-ius White on his only throw. When McCoy and Ash were splitting snaps earlier in the season, a few players admitted Ash was the quieter quarter-back. But, according to some after the game Saturday, Ash is gaining command of the Longhorn huddle.

“He’s been a lot more confi-dent these last couple of weeks,” said junior wide receiver Mar-quise Goodwin. “He’s definitely assumed more of a leadership role. He’s matured a lot more.”

Goodwin, like Ash, was ef-ficient and explosive with the few chances he got. His three touches — two runs on revers-es and a reception — netted 82 yards. Mike Davis also had

Every team has off nights, but the good ones are able to push through and come out with a win. That’s exactly what the Longhorns did Saturday, downing Kansas 3-2 (25-20, 18-25, 25-19, 16-25, 15-8).

The Jayhawks (13-12, 1-11 Big 12) are perhaps the weakest team that the No. 9 Longhorns (16-4, 9-1) will face in conference play this year. But Texas weathered

the assault from the Jayhawks, as the two teams traded sets back in forth throughout the game.

It ended up coming down to the fifth and final set to decide the match, and the Longhorns came up strong in the clutch.

Texas got out to a quick 4-1 lead in the final set and never relinquished the lead. The game was ultimately sealed on a Bailey Webster block. Web-ster was the Longhorns best player throughout the game, connecting on 17 kills and a .306 hitting percentage.

By Chris HummerDaily Texan Staff

catches of 24 and 48 yards. Good-win’s lone catch was a 37-yarder in the third quarter and charac-terized a downfield passing game that had been nonexistent in the last three games, a stretch where Texas had just one pass play of at least 24 yards.

With the Longhorns run-ning for 439 yards, their second-straight week with at least 400 yards rushing, they didn’t need Ash to do much.

“When we did throw it, we were very effective,” Brown said. “We’d like to be more balanced.

When you’re running the ball as well as we were, it’s hard to make yourself throw it.”

If Ash keeps this up, he’ll be signing more autographs. But if Texas keeps running the ball like this, he might not be throwing more passes.

NCAA president pays visit to Austin

NCAA president Mark Em-mert came to Austin to watch the first half of Texas’ 52-20 win over Texas Tech, the first Longhorns football game he’s attended, before traveling to Tuscaloosa to watch LSU’s overtime vic-tory over Alabama. Emmert met with University of Texas president William Powers Jr. and the school’s athletic de-partment. He hopes and ex-pects most football confer-ences to approve the ad-ditional $2,000 stipend for

student-athletes the NCAA just approved, aims to cut the NCAA rulebook in half and isn’t opposed to confer-ence realignment as long as it’s done properly.

“It can be perfectly sen-sible,” Emmert said. “When we have people making decisions for bad reasons with bad information and not considering what this means for student-athletes or in a way that creates an-imosity for schools, I find that very distasteful.”

Defensive ends come up big again

Jackson Jeffcoat and Alex Okafor each recorded a sack against Kansas last week, the first time that had hap-pened all season. Against Texas Tech, they picked up right where they left off, combining for five tackles of loss and 3 1/2 of the Long-horns’ four sacks. After com-bining for just two sacks in Texas’ first six games this year, Jeffcoat and Okafor have 5 1/2 between them in their last two contests. That includes Jeffcoat’s first 2 1/2

sacks of the season, possibly because of a simple piece of advice from defensive coor-dinator Manny Diaz.

“[Diaz] said, ‘Go out there and have fun,’” Jeffcoat said. “Guys that don’t have fun don’t make as many plays. So he said, ‘Have fun. This is a game you know how to play.’”

Longhorns’ downfield passing game makes a comback

After going three games without a completion of at least 35 yards, Texas got two from David Ash against Texas Tech. As produc-tive as their rushing attack was, the Longhorns didn’t need much from the pass-ing game. But Ash took his share of shots Saturday, con-necting on three of them — two to Davis for 24 and 48 yards and one to Marquise Goodwin for 37 yards.

“He showed us a lot of

great things,” said senior guard David Snow. “He took charge. He’s thrown a lot of long balls. He’s doing a good job getting the ball down the field. I was really pleased with him tonight.”

PRESS BOX OBSERVATIONS FOOTBALLHERE ARE FOUR OBSERVATIONS FROM TEXAS’ VICTORY OVER TEXAS TECH. BY CHRISTIAN CORONA

Texas’ rushing performance dominates

The 441 rushing yards the Longhorns amassed last week was the most they ran for in 96 games. But that mark was nearly best-ed Saturday as Texas ran for 439 yards without its lead-ing rusher, Malcolm Brown. Head coach Mack Brown said he could have played if the Longhorns needed him, but thanks to fellow fresh-man Joe Bergeron, they didn’t. Bergeron celebrat-ed his 19th birthday in style,

running for 191 yards and three touchdowns.

“It’s the offense that Ricky [Williams] ran,” Mack Brown said. “Texas ran the ball when we were good. That’s who we were. Then we’d throw deep and play good defense. That’s what we want to get back to.”

‘Harold and Kumar’ director shares challenges of 3D debut

In “A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas,” the eponymous duo re-unite for more slapstick, raunchy ston-er humor and encounters with a satiri-cal Neil Patrick Harris. The Daily Tex-an spoke with Todd Strauss-Schulson, who directed the third film in the fran-chise as his first feature project.

DT: So how did you get involved with this project?

Todd Strauss-Schulson: I’ve never

made a movie before. This is my first movie. But I’ve wanted to make a mov-ie my whole life, and I made short films in high school obsessively, and went to film school in Boston and came to L.A. to make music videos thinking if I could make music videos, I’d be able to get into features. Music videos had died two years before I moved to Los Ange-les. There was no more money in it, and it was a disaster. I spent three and a half years trying to become a successful music video director so I could transi-tion into film like Michael Bay or Da-vid Fincher or one of those guys, and it never worked out. I quit music videos and had three years of super odd stuff. I shot virals for chewing tobacco com-panies and behind-the-scenes footage for things, and I was in Asia for a while doing a reality show for MTV.

DT: Were there any challenges com-

ing onto an established franchise? Strauss-Schulson: You wanted it

to be good for the fans because it has such an intense fanbase. I’m part of the fanbase! The first movie, I found in college, stoned with my friends. The second movie I saw opening night in theaters. I really wanted to book and make the movie because all I could picture myself opening night not wanting to be bummed out by the third movie in the franchise. I very much had the idea of an audience member in mind while making it . Like, what would happen if I’m bored while I’m watching it? How crazy do I want this to get? How much shit do I want coming out at my face in 3D?

I wanted to please an audience mem-ber.

DT: Well, in the sequel, you have them escaping from Guantanamo Bay, but in this one, they have to find a Christmas tree. But this one got way crazier.

Strauss-Schulson: It’s like a roman-tic comedy, where they’re not friends anymore, they have to learn how to become friends again, so even if the stakes aren’t as high because they’re not going to Guantanamo and having to eat a cock-meat sandwich, there are stakes. And so there was a lot of at-tention paid, and John [Cho] and Kal [Penn] wanted to talk a lot about that stuff and make that stuff really work. Some of what we’ve heard from our test views is that people who have grown up with the characters like that.

D T : T e l l m e a b o u t t h e C l a y m a t i o n s e q u e n c e .

Strauss-Schulson: We hired this company LAIKA who did “Coraline” and “Nightmare Before Christmas” out of Portland and they did it, which is also crazy. The idea was, could you make a really gory, blood, action-packed, ag-gressive spectacle with cotton balls and adorable characters? It’s cute, but it’s also aggressive. That kind of friction was something that was in the whole movie. Can it be festive and cheery and Christmasy but also godless and raunchy and disgusting simultaneously?

DT: Were you ever worried the movie

would go too far in either direction? Strauss-Schulson: Not really. I want-

ed it to be sentimental at the end. The original concept, at least for me, was, besides Harold and Kumar hijack a Christmas movie, is can you make a Trojan Horse movie? On the outside, it is beautiful and feels elegant and looks like “Miracle on 34th Street.” The mu-sic is sentimental and sounds like a John Williams “Home Alone” score. Really, on the inside, it’s disgusting and raunchy.

DT: What were some of the challeng-

es and benefits of working in 3D?

Strauss-Schulson: I loved the idea of

doing the movie in 3D. That was part of the original script. I didn’t realize that when I first read it, but they told me when I went in and I was like, “What a gimmick. That sucks.” And then I thought, “What a gimmick! That could be awesome!” It became really exciting to think of ways to do jokes in 3D and ways to rachet up ridiculous scenes us-ing that technology, ways to do really raunchy, dirty stuff, but in technical-ly sophisticated ways. Shooting in 3D takes a little longer. The cameras are massive, they don’t do great in the cold. It limits the amount that you can re-ally move a camera around. You can’t do snap-zooms, you can’t whip things around. It was cumbersome. It was also hard for comedy. I like to shoot with two or three cameras. They can improv and you can capture reactions to hilari-ous things when they only happen once. You can catch lightning in a bottle.

DT: What’s your favorite use of 3D? Strauss-Schulson: I really love the

dildo in “Jackass 3D.” Pretty great 3D moment. My favorite 3D gag in “Har-old and Kumar?” That’s the first time I’ve been asked that. I love the egg-tion. I made a short, an egg-tion short instead of an action short, and I pil-fered that to put in the movie.

DT: I love the cameos from small character actors. You have E lias Koteas, and Danny Trejo.

Strauss-Schulson: Those were the

best. They were the most fun guys to deal with. I love Robert Rodriguez the most. I know he’s local. Ever since high school, I’ve wanted to be him.

DT: With Neil Patrick Harris, are

you worried to go too meta or too cra-zy, or is that the point of his character?

Strauss-Schulson: It’s the point of

his character. They can do anything. The movie is already bipolar. It fits and starts and is big and small, but then Neil shows up and it really can open it up. The musical number became a showstopper, I loved the idea of having Neil singing and dancing in 3D, which seemed like kind of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so you do a complete showstop-per, and the movie just stops for two minutes. So that was some-thing that was fun to do with him. He can do anything in these mov-ies, and he loves it.

DT: I feel like the first two

movies had more of a focus on Harold and Kumar’s race. This one didn’t as much.

Strauss-Schulson: That’s a Jon

and Hayden thing. The first one is all about race. The second one is about race but also gets political. Guantanamo and George Bush and all that stuff. They didn’t want to repeat themselves, so I think

this one was really more going after re-ligion a little bit, Christmas especially. Each movie has its own little world.

DT: Is there gonna be a fourth one? Strauss-Schulson: I don’t know. I have

no idea. But I hope there is. I wanna see it!

In his campaign for president, Mitt Romney has come under scruti-ny for his religion, Mormonism, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For UT Mormons, Romney’s running is an opportunity for others to learn more about their religion.

About 300 18- to 30-year-olds at-tend classes at the Institute of Reli-gion, a house of study for LDS Church members, said Institute Director Eric Johnson. The institute also houses Sunday services for single adults in that age range. Many participants are UT students, Johnson said.

“Politics and the media, they’re going to do what they’re going to do,” he said. “Members of the church are being given more opportunities to say ‘this is who we are and this is what we’ve been, and it points to the savior Jesus Christ.’”

The church is nonpartisan, and a lot of LDS Church members prob-ably won’t vote for Romney, said health promotion senior Nick Eli-zondo. He attends classes at the insti-tute but goes to another church ser-vice for families with his wife. The LDS Church divides its congrega-tions by age and geography.

“The church doesn’t encourage par-ty affiliation, but it does encourage us to participate in the voting process,” Elizondo said. “Romney’s campaign is a great opportunity for people to learn about the church, but Romney is just

a member like any of us.” Romney’s political campaign has

corresponded with the arrival of the “I Am A Mormon” ad campaign in Austin last month. The videos fea-ture people of diverse backgrounds and perspectives sharing their ex-perience with the faith and encour-age viewers to go to mormon.org for more information. English doctoral student Melissa Smith said she learns about her own faith by watching the videos by others.

For example, Smith said she was surprised to see a video by The Kill-ers lead singer Brandon Flowers be-cause his song lyrics sometimes di-verge from Mormon values. But ev-eryone lives their faith differently, she said.

“I was reading a profile of someone from a different culture, and the person was talking about a particular principle, and I learned more about that princi-ple and why we live it than I had under-stood ever,” Smith said. “I learned what it was like to live the Gospel from a dif-ferent cultural perspective.”

Both the Romney presidential run and the I Am a Mormon campaign are giving LDS Church members the chance to share their faith, students said. For many, that simply means clarifying that the LDS Church is a Christian church and not a cult, as one Dallas Baptist pastor pro-nounced with regard to Romney.

Brian Seigfried and Lucas Brook are elders at UT. Many LDS men

go on two-year missions to evan-gelize in their late teens and early 20s. They agreed that Austin feels like home and get positive reception from those they speak to — wheth-er in formal meetings or in random encounters around campus.

“I love the ad campaign, it clears up a lot of misconceptions that peo-ple have about this church,” Brook said. “It helps when we’re out talk-ing to people, they see us and say ‘oh, these are the Mormons.’”

Evangelizing serves an important function in the church, since many members come to LDS later in life, they said. For example, Elizon-do said he joined the church when he was 18 after growing up Pres-byterian. The classes at the Insti-tute helped him understand Biblical scripture in a new way, he said, and he finds spiritual growth in reading the Book of Mormon as well.

“With a real study of the scrip-tures, I was very much drawn to the church, and I prayed to know if the church was the church that the Lord would have me join,” Elizondo said. “I felt true conviction in my heart that that is what I needed to do.”

As controversy and growing awareness of the church continue, students at the Institute said they’ll continue to try to live out their faith by being kind to others and follow-ing Jesus’ message.

I n h e r a w a rd - w i n n i n g memoir, “The Year of Mag-ical Thinking,” Joan Didion wrote about losing her hus-band to a sudden heart attack in 2003. Knowing Joan Didi-on’s daughter had also died by the time the book was released made the heartbreaking read even more tragic. In her new memoir, “Blue Nights,” Didi-on, 76, delves deeper into her grief as she mourns her daugh-ter’s death and struggles with her own feelings of frailty and loneliness in old age.

Though bravely rendered, the Didion story itself is laced with the fear that accompa-nies aging and loss. In fact, the book is more a portrait of fear than a portrait of her daughter Quintana Roo, who Didion ad-mits “is one of the areas about which I have difficulty being direct.” Didion’s fears and re-grets intensify through the repetition of certain phrases throughout the book. The re-curring voices, whether from Quintana, Ecclesiastes or Did-ion’s own head, are haunting. They resurface and deepen in significance until they seem to suggest the relentless ebb and flow of grief itself.

Didion presents vivid snap-shots of her daughter at differ-ent points in her life. We see Quintana wearing a braid on her wedding day, her plume-

ria tattoo visible through her veil; we see her being dropped off for school in Malibu backed by the big blue pacific. Didion portrays Quintana as a pre-cocious child. She describes how Quintana, an anxious but self-assured 5-year-old, once called the local asylum to in-quire about “What she needed to do if she goes crazy” and once asked Didion’s agent “When do you give her the money?” after being dragged along to a meeting.

“Shush, mom is working” — something Quintana wrote as a child on her list of “Mom’s Saying s” — painfully repeats as Didion dwells on fears that she may have pushed her child away. Maybe it is because “Blue Nights” is not structured chronologically or because Didion too frequently digress-es with stories about now dead friends, but for whatever rea-son, a warm-blooded Quinta-na does not emerge from Did-ion’s grief and the handful of

well-wrought images present-ed in the book. Ultimately, the real Quintana seems ob-scured by Didion’s grief, not revealed by it.

Didion’s prose is most poi-gnant in the parts of the book where she describes the corro-sion of self-trust that she has experienced with age. “When we lose our sense of the possi-ble, we lose it fast,” she writes of her diminishing physical and cognitive ability. She de-scribes fainting one day in her New York apartment and ly-ing bloodied on the floor, “vi-sualizing the unreachable tele-phones” in the house and be-ing too exhausted to move. Af-ter the fainting spell, she was taken to the hospital and mis-placed in the cardiac unit, where nurses reproach her for her ignorance about the heart condition she doesn’t have.

As Didion reflects on her past homes, her dead friends, incompetent doctors and her daughter, her understandable negativity seems, at times, like the only glue keeping the piec-es of the memoir in place. Did-ion gives us no cohesive story, no direct narrative to take sol-ace in. This may be what she intended. Regardless, Quin-tana Roo is mostly absent in this book while Didion’s pain is intensely real, and this makes “Blue Nights” a diffi-cult book to read.

The effort of reading “Blue Nights” pays off in certain brilliant moments but not con-sistently as one would hope for with a writer like Didion. Her reflections on old age and its loneliness are riveting. One of the most moving moments occurs near the end of the book when Quintana enters one such reflection. “How could I not still need that child with me?” Did-ion asks, making the depth of her loss painfully clear.

Chaos, booty-shaking and, most importantly, great live mu-sic. Fun Fun Fun Fest’s first day foreshadowed the fun that would occur throughout the weekend. Day one was a strange concoc-tion of hyped-up performanc-es, stage dives and rockstar tan-trums (kudos to you Glenn Dan-zig). But throughout all of the chaos were great, unforgettable

moments. For example, Freddie Ross, better known as Big Freed-ia, and his rambunctious crew of booty-shaking, hyped-up women were amusing in every way possi-ble. Between having seizure-like dance competitions and bring-ing a group of enthusiastic, aspir-ing dancers on stage, Freedia and his posse had everybody working their rumpshakers. And hip-hop’s dynamic duo, Public Enemy, has still got it. Backed by a live band, the group went through classics

“Fight the Power,” “911 is a Joke” and many others. Hypeman Fla-vor Flav has exchanged his reali-ty TV spotlight for his trademark giant clock and quotes, and we would not have it any other way.

Passion Pit had plenty of sur-prises for their fans as they took the stage: classics “Sleepyhead” and “Folds in Your Hands” oozed with bubbly synths and frontman Michael Angelakos’ near-flawless falsetto, and their encore featured two new songs that were well-re-

ceived from their legion of ded-icated electropop fans. And for those of you who did not hear about it, Glenn Danzig may have lost his Austin pass for life. The renowned king of bluesy, sludge metal gave his fans a performance (or lack there of ) that they will always remember. Consisting of outbursts, tawdriness and a desire to incite a riot during his perfor-mance, Danzig’s set was nothing we thought it would be and, un-fortunately, more.

On the third day, the dust set-tled a bit and the people knew that it was good — but not good enough to take those bandanas off yet. Sporting their multicolored pieces of fabric like dust-bandits, stylish festival-goers en-dured a final day of fun (fun fun) with $9 Tecates in their hands and dusty displays of fashion wrapped around their faces. And really, who can blame them? When a dust bowl springs up around you, don’t waste a perfectly good chance to show off that bandana that’s been sitting in your closet all year.

The day started off damp but still ripe with the much-hyped musical diversity that set this Fun Fun Fun Fest apart from any local festival in recent memory. The disparity in the lineup — featuring the undeniable talents of acts such as Slayer, come-dian Brian Posehn, Blonde Redhead, Odd Future, Flying Lotus and more — was reflected in the crowds, which were basically all-you-can-eat buf-fets for any aspiring people-watchers. There were definitely all types at Au-ditorium Shores on Sunday. The park was filled with hipster people, hip-hop people, metal people, even peo-ple who liked NoBunny, which, for anyone who was too busy waiting in

line for a pack of bargain cigarettes at “The Marlboro Experience” to catch the show, was the punk band fronted by the guy in the zebra-striped tightie whities and the mangy bunny mask.

All of the fan archetypes at Fun Fun Fun Fest managed to live in har-mony, except, of course, when they didn’t. That was generally during those special, terrifying moments when everyone was busy smashing violently into each other in the mid-dle of epic circle pits like the one that rattled Cannibal Corpse’s show. Ev-erything had been relatively normal until the lead singer threatened to go to the houses of anyone who wasn’t “smashing” and “fucking kill them.”

Other festival moments, such as “Paige and Stephen’s Fun Wedding” for example, were noticeably more light-hearted. Hundreds of strangers gathered in celebration of two other strangers who had signed up to get hitched at a festival-endorsed, Hen-ry Rollins-officiated ceremony. Rol-lins delivered an uncharacteristically touching speech and for a brief few minutes, the audience at the Yellow Stage forgot what they would soon become — a blood-thirsty mosh or-ganism, manhandling everything in sight in the name of Slayer, Odd Fu-ture or maybe just good, loud music in general, which was what this festi-val specialized in.

Day two picked up with a mighty gust — but it was more dirt squalls than anything. Despite killer sets from shoegaze soloist Active Child and experimental pop band Puri-ty Ring, the early vibe in the sand-box was mostly flat. Perhaps it was the annoyance of breathing through bandana masks or how vast the park was for an indie festival, but the lacklus-ter crowd appeared hard to please.

Still, artists managed to get the crowd moving.

Saturday’s lineup was a definite win on all four stages (Hot Snakes, Dan Deacon, Neon Indian, Major Lazer).

However, with Spoon headlin-ing and Lykke Li and M83 and sol-id acts including the Joy Formida-ble, Ra Ra Riot and Girls opening, orange stage was the place to be. The main stage included a celebra-tory set from Tuareg band Tinari-wen, who got a standing ovation even from actor Ryan Gosling, to a

performance complete with feathers and neon paint from tUnE-yArDs.

Spoon snapped out of their streak of subpar hometown performances, playing fan favorites like “I Turn My Camera On.” The band managed to shine even after following amazing euro stars M83 and Lykke Li.

The dreamy new wave French band M83 effortlessly rocked the shore with their early hits, includ-ing “Kim and Jessie,” “Teen Angst,” “Run Into Flowers” and “We Own Sky,” setting the muted ambiance

of the evening with their soft lyrics and spellbinding guitar numbers, and then awaking the crowd with their hot single, “Midnight City.”

After a 20-minute late start that got the audience antsy, the mys-tic Swedish pop princess Lykke Li topped the festival with billowing black drapes, a megaphone and lots of lust. Performing most of her hits, including “Dance, Dance, Dance,” “I Follow Rivers” and “Jerome,” Lykke Li gave more than “Little Bits.”
