With Tuesday marking the one-year anniversary of the most destructive � re in Texas history that reduced more than 30,000 acres of Bastrop County to ashes and more than 1,500 homes to mere memories, a UT graduate student is working to restore life to the a� ected land-scape.

UT molecular biology gradu-ate student Vlad Codrea has spent the last year developing and maintaining a tree nurs-ery at UT’s Lady Bird Johnson Wild� ower Center with the goal of delivering thousands of native tree seedlings for Bastrop residents and park o� cials to plant. Codrea hopes this mas-sive e� ort will help restore natu-ral areas that were devastated in last year’s � re.

“[� e seedlings] will be given out to landowners whose land had been burned by the � res as well as planted across Bastrop State Park,” Codrea said.

Codrea said he plans to dis-tribute the 70,000 seedlings growing at the Wild� ower Cen-ter to Bastrop residents and park o� cials in October.

UT’s Green Fee Committee funds the majority of Codrea’s tree nursery, the � rst of its kind at UT, with a $54,000 grant dis-

tributed over three years. A part of the O� ce of Sustainability, the committee allocates the funds it receives from the $5-a-year “Green Fee” that each student pays as part of student fees.

Committee program coordina-tor at the O� ce of Sustainability, said the project’s originality and long-term positive e� ects mo-tivated the committee to award

Rice passes partial ban on tobacco UT and Rice disagree over

most e� ective tobacco policy� e battle over tobacco use on

university campuses continues to heat up as Texas schools take di� erent policy approaches.

UT banned tobacco cam-pus-wide earlier this year a� er the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas changed its grant application, announcing a provision pro-hibiting tobacco use in areas of campus where institute-funded cancer research takes place. � e

institute is a state-funded or-ganization that works to � ght cancer through research fund-ing and other initiatives and has awarded UT more than $33 million for cancer research.

� is past Saturday, Rice Uni-versity also announced it was adopting a tobacco-free policy to

comply with CPRIT guidelines. However, Rice only implement-ed a partial tobacco ban, leading some to question whether UT’s full ban was necessary. Rice’s partial ban consists of 13 des-ignated areas on-campus where tobacco use is allowed.

Whichever route to compli-

ance CPRIT-funded entities choose, Heidi McConnell, chief operating o� cer for CPRIT, said as long as they follow grant rules, their funding will not be a� ected.

Texas ranks 23rd, survey determines

UT is the 23rd best univer-sity in the nation, according to Washington Monthly’s 2012 rankings of U.S. universities.

Washington Monthly’s re-sults di� er signi� cantly from those of U.S. News & World Report, a highly referenced college ranking system, be-cause of di� erences in its ranking methodology.

Washington Monthly bas-es its calculations on three categories: recruitment and retention of low-income

2016 is everywhere. It is on the shirts. It is on the bags UT gave students at orienta-tion. It has become a hash tag on Twitter. It was in UT President William Powers Jr.’s speech at Gone to Texas. It was even on the UT Tower for a few hours last Wednes-day night.

It’s no longer only a gradu-ation date; 2016 has become a brand, continuously remind-ing students when their four years are up. � e logo the University has slapped onto college shirts and orientation bags reads “Class of Twenty 16” and is enclosed with an orange box.

“Part of the reason and the goal with this branding is not

just to have that logo visible as much as possible but to also get students to buy into meeting their expectations and their potential,” said Kyle Clark, associate director of New Student Services. “We want as many of them as pos-sible to graduate together.”

Clark said ‘branding’ this incoming class is part of the overall e� ort to increase four-year graduation rates. For the University, 2016 is not just a brand; it is also a deadline.

Graduation rates have been at the forefront of University ad-ministrators’ minds since they made it a goal in Feb-r u a r y to in-

crease UT’s four-year graduation rates to 70 percent by 2016. Current four-year graduation rates are at 51 percent.

As part of the most re-cent e� ort to increase its four-year graduation rates, the University has also implemented changes to its orientation program and ap-pointed David L au d e

to senior vice provost for enrollment and graduation manage-ment. UT called Laude in this new position the Uni-versity’s “Graduation Rate Champion.”

“When easily identifi able and

quite frankly embarrassing mistakes were

pointed out, the Uni-versity should have taken ownership of the problem instead of simply seeking to scapegoat Groat.”

Quote to note‘‘ Illustration by Colin ZelinskiDaily Texan Staff

A recent study conducted by a UT professor and three graduate student assistants has shown that English language learners in elementary, middle and high schools gain more learning time and motivation from using iPod Touches out-side the classroom. � e data gathered from the devices show that they used resources

such as translators, calculators and maps, as well as media tools such as voice recorders, still cameras and video cam-eras to complete their assign-ments.

UT education professor Min Liu and her research team conducted a survey at three di� erent schools in a Central Texas school district. � e three schools — one el-ementary school, one middle school and one high school

— provided English language learners with iPod Touches. Liu said between 85 and 105 students participated in the program between 2010 and 2012. English language learn-ers describes students who at-tend schools where English is the language of instruction but do not speak English.

A school district represen-tative, who Liu requested to remain anonymous to protect the identity of study partici-

pants, said the district imple-mented the project to address gaps between then-TAKS scores for its English language learners and its native English-speaking students.

Liu said she designed the study to analyze the signi� -cance of an emerging technol-ogy for this speci� c group of students.

UT director for human re-source services, said the Uni-versity thought a partial ban would not have been cost-feasible because of the logis-tics of where CPRIT-funded research happens at UT.

“� ere are a multitude of buildings on-campus that have CPRIT research going on, and those buildings can change from semester to semester as each semester comes around and new research initiatives are proposed,” she said. “Ad-ministratively, from a cost-and-resource perspective, that would mean we would have to re-map and potentially move locations every semester.”

UT’s 431-acre campus re-ceived $20.4 million in CPRIT funding last year, while Rice’s 285-acre campus received $10.8 million, according to CPRIT and U.S. News & World Report.

In an interview with the Rice � resher, Rice’s uni-versity campus newspaper, Kevin Kirby, vice president

for administration at Rice, said a campus-wide tobacco ban would not have been ap-propriate at Rice due to other feasibility concerns.

“For us, a complete ban was not practical or enforceable and would lead to unintend-ed consequences like people moving to nearby neighbor-hoods or sidewalks around campus,” Kirby said.

Howarth-Moore said she is not sure how the possible ef-fectiveness of only a partial ban at Rice could a� ect the policy at UT, but she believes higher education is going toward a tobacco-free direction. She

said the University worked on several initiatives to make UT tobacco-free prior to the new CPRIT regulation and a na-tional tobacco-free university initiative is being introduced by the U.S. government later this month.

Since the beginning of the tobacco-ban at UT last spring, the administration has mainly been focused on communi-cating the new policy to the UT community, as most vio-lations have been due to lack of awareness. With the place-ment of signs around campus over the summer, however, Howarth-Moore said UT will

now begin to evaluate the ef-fectiveness of the new policy.

“We’re really planning to do an assessment this semester, as it’s the � rst with the policy and signage in place,” she said.

Howarth-Moore said plans are still in place to completely ban tobacco on UT’s campus this February. � ere are cur-rently designated areas through-out UT’s campus where tobacco use is allowed in order to make the transition to a tobacco-free campus easier.

According to the Ameri-cans for Nonsmokers’ Rights, 562 colleges have enacted campus-wide tobacco bans.

Man charged, victim stable after stabbing

A man stabbed Saturday a� ernoon in front of the Uni-versity Co-op is now in stable condition, police said.

According to police, 52-year-old Leroy Faubion stabbed 23-year-old Waylon Barnes in the back with a steak knife at around 3 p.m. Police said the stabbing oc-curred following an argu-ment between the two men, both described by police as transients. Police said an unidentified witness to the incident immediately called authorities and stayed with Barnes until both police and Emergency Medical Services arrived.

Police said Barnes was transported to University Medical Center Bracken-ridge immediately follow-ing the incident and treated for a stab wound 2 inches across and 1 inch deep in his back between his neck and shoulder. Barnes is still at Brackenridge.

Faubion was quickly found and arrested two blocks away from where the stabbing occurred near Gracepoint Austin Church, located at 408 West 23rd Street. Police said Faubion is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weap-on, a felony with a pen-alty of two to 20 years in prison. According to Travis County Sheriff ’s Office re-cords, Faubion’s bond has been set at $50,000, and he is currently awaiting trial in the Travis County Jail.

City to restrict water due to low lake levels

The City of Austin will implement city-wide water restrictions Tuesday in re-sponse to declining water levels in Lake Travis and Lake Buchanan.

Restrictions will enter stage two out of the city’s four stages of water restric-tions. Starting Tuesday the city will allow residents to water their property one time each week, but as a state agency, the Univer-sity will be exempt from any city restrictions. Last month, Austin City Coun-cil approved changes to the city’s water conserva-tion code, creating a tier system that restricts water use in times of drought. UT already has a campus-wide irrigation system in place. University officials reported saving 3.8 million gallons of water in June.

Stage two restricts water use to residents with even and odd addresses on cer-tain days and only allows automatic irrigation sys-tems to run before 5 a.m. and after 7 p.m.

According to the Lower Colorado River Authority, Lakes Travis and Buchanan have dropped below half-way full. Despite the high amount of rainfall this year, there are many who do not expect the lakes to recover.

Codrea received the grant before the � res took place, with the intention of creating a student-run tree nursery at the J.J. Pickle Research Cam-pus, but moved to the Wild-� ower Center and integrated his e� orts with theirs a� er see-ing � rst-hand how destructive the Bastrop � re had been to native plant species in the Lost Pines region.

“A� er the � res, we knew we had a great responsibility and opportunity to help with the reforestation and restora-tion project of the Lost Pines,” Codrea said.

Since receiving the grant, Co-drea has worked with the Wild-� ower Center to build a suitable greenhouse for the nursery and hosts student and community volunteers every Saturday.

Microbiology graduate student Jeremy Henderson helped tend to the seedlings

for the � rst time at last Satur-day’s volunteer event.

“By replanting the trees, I think it is a reminder that not only is there a community available to help them nearby, but it also helps them heal those wounds of loss,” Hen-derson said.

Saralee Tiede, spokesper-son for the Wild� ower Center, said the nursery is the most extensive project a student has ever conducted in conjunc-tion with the center.

As for the use of the Green Fee funds on the nursery, Blaney said the nursery is a very visible example of the Green Fee at work and its bene� t to the University and community.

“Every single year, students come and wonder what UT is doing for the surrounding community,” Blaney said. “� e tree nursery is a really good an-swer for one way that UT can contribute to the region.”

Blaney hopes the free and public nursery that o� en hosts student volunteers will spur student interest in conserva-tion and sustainability issues.

“Not many people get to grow a tree,” Blaney said. “Who knows what it will spark in somebody?”

from the Cockrell School of Engineering, and it has since spread throughout the entire campus.

Bedia, senior coordina-tor of New Student Services, said the brand has even spread to many di� erent forms of communication.

“I have seen it on � yers, brochures and any type of communication that has been sent out to students,” Bedia said. “I also feel like everyone on campus is say-ing they’re excited to wel-come the class of 2016.”

Ladan Ghannadpour, a radio-television-� lm fresh-man, said she had noticed the use of 2016 everywhere, but she was not aware it was a new branding e� ort.

“I knew the University was trying to increase its four-year graduation rates, but I had no idea the brand-ing of 2016 had to do with that,” Ghannadpour said.

Ghannadpour said she thinks these e� orts might have an impact. She is start-ing her � rst year with 31 hours of college credit she earned during high school, so she said she feels like she will graduate on time.

John Murphy, an adver-tising professor, said the University’s branding e� orts are marketing the concept of a four-year graduation.

“The putting of 2016 on packets of materials and the president using that specifi-cally in remarks is branding this group, and it is marketing to them,” Murphy said. “But what I thought first when I heard about this was setting up

expectations, and the expecta-tion is on-time graduation.”

Murphy said there was no subliminal messaging oc-curring in this situation.

“Subliminal advertising or subliminal messaging is about communicating with someone below their level of consciousness and in� uenc-ing their behavior without them realizing a message has been delivered,” Murphy said.

While Clark, Bedia and Murphy all said the brand-ing will help the e� ort to in-crease four-year graduation rates, Murphy said the Uni-versity still needs to consider other factors.

Murphy said he served on a committee 20 years ago that was trying to in-crease the University’s six-year graduation rates. He said achieving a higher per-centage of freshmen living on campus was one of the things the University looked at to increase its six-year graduation rates then.

“� ere is a bonding with the institution that occurs,” Murphy said. “So as op-posed to Riverside and Far West, we wanted them to be right here on campus in the shadow of the Tower.”

� is year, 5,167 freshmen are living on campus, which is 65 percent of the 8,000 � rst-year students.

Some universities require freshmen to live on campus their � rst year. UT Division of Housing and Food Ser-vice reported 7,581 students living on campus this year, so if UT required all fresh-men to live on campus and reserved all of the beds for freshmen, it still would not have been able to give every freshman a bed.

learner’s needs and the technol-ogy itself all come into play in terms of being able to help ELLs in the classroom,” Liu said.

She said the study group looked into the needs for mon-itoring and security on the iP-ods and determined that with-out any monitoring system, the program would not work.

Education graduate student Cesar Navarrete, who helped conduct the study, said expand-

ing the use of iPods or similar technologies to more school districts still poses a lot of ques-tions that must be taken into consideration. He said the infra-structure, including the iPods, the programs they run and in-class access points, creates a bar-rier for entry for some districts. Navarrete also said the train-ing teachers receive on how to teach with the devices and how to keep them working poses a logistical issue for integrating them into the classroom.

� e school district that participated in Liu’s study funded its initiative through a 2008 tax bond.

Navarrete said students also face connectivity issues outside the classroom.

“Students may get � ne connection at school, but what about those who do not have connection away from school?”

BERKELEY, Calif. — School day wake-up calls recorded by celebrities. Weekend makeup classes. Contests with laptop com-puters, private concerts and cars as prizes.

Educators across the nation are using creative strategies as another school year gets under way to con-vince students and parents that regular attendance matters — and not just for grades and achievement.

New research suggests missing as little as two weeks of school can put young children behind their peers, burden overworked teachers, cost districts state dollars and undermine mandates to raise standard-ized test scores. So many public school districts have launched campaigns to re-duce all absences, not just those serious enough to warrant a home visit from a truant officer.

The attendance push has

been particularly strong in California, New York, Tex-as and other states where schools funding is based on how many children are in their seats each day, rather than enrollment. Several California districts have made a back-to-school ritual of reminding parents that schools lose money whenever kids are out.

Some have asked fami-lies with children who missed school for avoid-able reasons such as family trips to reimburse schools the $30-$50 a day the ab-sence cost in lost funding, or at least consider having a child with the sniffles or a stomach ache show up for the first part of the day so he or she can be counted before going home sick.

Ken Seeley, president of the National Center for School Engagement in Denver, said when it comes to devising strategies for getting kids to school, the approaches do not need to be flashy. “We give away a lot of alarm clocks.”

Hurricane Isaac gives respite to farmers

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Several days of rain have given farmers in the nation’s mid-section a welcome break from irrigating and hauling water for livestock as they contend with the worst drought in the U.S. in decades.

The remnants of Hur-ricane Isaac dropped sev-eral inches of rain on wide areas of Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri as the storm trudged north. Some spots got more than a half-foot of rain.

For most farmers, the rain came too late to make a dif-ference in their year. Corn farmers have been harvesting for weeks, and soybeans are far enough along that the rain won’t significantly improve their quality or growth.

Some farmers had rushed to bring in crops before the storm, fearing strong winds or even flash flooding could destroy what they had man-aged to salvage from drought.

In Arkansas, where farm-ers have been struggling with triple-digit tempera-tures and little rain, Robby Bevis, 35, saw the storm

knock down several of his 150 acres of rice.

“I hate to see any of it down, but that’s not as bad of percentage as what it could have been,” he said.

He figured the rain might have saved him $10 or $15 an acre, although “the ma-jority of the expense was throughout the summer.”

In Illinois, Kenneth Met-calf said the storm put some water back in his well, reliev-ing him of the burden of hav-

ing to buy and haul in hun-dreds of gallons of water each day for his 160 head of cattle.

But Metcalf, 75, said he doubts the break will last long as the storm’s last clouds burn off and higher temperatures return, baking the area east of Springfield where he also grows corn and soybeans.

“I think we’ll be hauling water here again in a few days,” he said.

Still, it lifted his spirits to see so much rain, 4 or 5

inches by his estimation.“I think everybody feels

better,” he said, noting the rain was a start toward re-plenishing lakes and wells.

Farther south, Mike Campbell said he got 3 inches of rain on his farm in Edwardsville, Ill., which is about 30 miles from St. Louis. He said it was too late for it to do anything for his corn, and he had worried the storm’s winds would destroy what little he had left. But

the stalks were still standing Monday morning.

Still, the thin, dry stalks have left him little to har-vest. During one run with his combine last week, he was getting about 30 bushels an acre, far short of the 150 bushels he would hope for in a normal year.

“It sounded like the com-bine was shut off. There was just so little stuff going through it,” he said. “It’s the worst I’ve ever seen.”

Issac leaves many without electricity

NEW ORLEANS — Tens of thousands of customers re-mained in the dark Monday in Louisiana and Mississippi, nearly a week after Isaac in-undated the Gulf Coast with a deluge that still has some low-lying areas under water.

Most of those were in Lou-isiana, where utilities report-ed more than 100,000 people without power. Thousands also were without power in Mississippi and Arkansas.

Much of Plaquemines Par-ish remained under as much as 5 feet of water, and for many, the damage was worse than that from Katrina.

Hit-and-run promptsRed Bull heir arrest

BANGKOK — A grand-son of the creator of the Red Bull energy drink has been arrested for driving a Ferrari that struck a police officer and dragged his dead body down a Bangkok street in an early-morning hit-and-run, police said Monday.

Police took Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 27, for ques-tioning after tracing oil streaks for several blocks to his family’s gated estate in a wealthy neighborhood of the Thai capital.

He was facing charges of causing death by reck-less driving and escaping an arrest by police but was released on a 500,000 baht ($15,900) bail.

Convention viewers turn to social media

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — TV viewership for last week’s Re-publican National Convention dropped sharply from 2008.

But the convention was a hit online and on social net-works, the latest evidence of the political conversation’s gradual migration from tra-ditional media to the Web.

There are many reasons this year’s conventions may be less compelling than in 2008. Four years ago was a historic election that saw Democrat Barack Obama be-come the first black presiden-tial nominee and then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin emerge as Republican Party star.

Hurricane Isaac drew at least some attention away from the largely surprise-free GOP gathering in Tampa, Fla., last week.

Little news also is expected at this week’s Democratic con-vention in Charlotte, N.C., where Obama will be nomi-nated for a second term.

4 OPINION

In 2009, I photographed Governor Rick Perry sticking his tongue out while signing legislation at his desk in the Texas State Cap-itol building. He was probably just wetting his lips, but frozen in that pose, he looks like a nitwit who must apply all his concentration to the task of signing his name. I’ve licensed this image as a stock photograph, and I earn small royalties on it.

Not surprisingly, the websites that pay to use my photo of the governor are mostly left-leaning political blogs. My photo often accompanies an article that is critical of Perry, but that refrains from ad hominem attack—the photograph itself communicates the message “Rick Perry is a moron,” sparing the writer the indignity of explicitly articu-lating such a childish invective.

I license this photograph, and hundreds of others, through various stock photog-raphy libraries. There’s a fair chance you’ve seen my photos, on book jackets or blogs or restaurant menus or billboards. For de-cades, stock photo libraries got most of their business from commercial clients who needed images for advertisements. Recently, though, stock photographs have assumed an expanded role in politics—and not just pho-tos of politicians.

To attract attention and to grow, what any political movement needs is a visible base of support. Now, anyone with a credit card can buy images of enthusiastic, hard-working people, slap some photos up on a website, and claim (or at least imply) that the people pictured are part of their cause. This is part of a public relations tactic called “Astroturfing”—fabricating an artificial grassroots movement that looks popular, but is actually orchestrated by a tiny group of people with enough resources to create the illusion of populism.

An organization called Faces of Coal de-fines itself as “an alliance of people from all walks of life who are joining forces to edu-cate lawmakers and the general public about the importance of coal mining to our local and national economies and to our nation’s energy security,” which sounds better than the truth: a lobbying group funded by two billionaire brothers who inherited a mas-sive stake in the American coal industry from their father. When it was launched, the Faces of Coal website featured photos of young, multi-ethnic professionals, who were presumably the “faces” of people who sup-ported the coal industry. But these smiling young men and women probably aren’t in-terested in the importance of coal mining to

our national security, since the people in the photographs are not even Americans. These photos were shot by Danish stock photogra-pher Yuri Acurs and British stock photogra-pher Catherine Yeulet.

In 2011, the National Organization for Marriage, a group that opposes same-sex marriage, posted photos of huge crowds on their homepage. Wow! It really looked like a popular movement with thousands of supporters. It turned out, though, that the crowd shots were actually taken at a 2008 Obama campaign rally.

This year, Rick Perry faced nationwide criticism for his efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, which had the collateral effect of defunding other women’s clinics through-out Texas, even those that do not perform abortions. In an obvious effort to counter the accusation that the governor was part of a conservative “war on women,” Perry’s web-site added a temporary page proclaiming his ongoing support of women’s health initia-tives in Texas. The top of the page featured a photograph of a female doctor showing an X-Ray to a female patient. At first glance, one might reasonably assume that these women are representative participants in Perry’s women’s health initiative. One might also assume that, by consenting to have their photographs appear on the governor’s web-site, these women must be endorsing Perry. In reality, the women in the photograph aren’t even Texans (and likely aren’t a doctor and patient, and probably aren’t in a medical office). The picture was made by stock pho-tographer Alexander Raths, in Germany.

Everybody knows that photographs can be faked or manipulated, or used out of con-text, but our instinct still is to trust our eyes. Don’t make that mistake. The next time you see a well-lit photograph of smiling, enthu-siastic “ordinary people” on a political web-site, take a screen shot, and upload that im-age to Google’s new reverse image search, or the similar search engine Tineye.com. You might discover that the photograph has ab-solutely no relationship to the campaign, the website or the idea it ostensibly illustrates.

Since SB 14 — Voter ID — passed in the Texas legislature last session, many students have speculated about the bill’s implications for our campus this fall. Among other provisions, the bill would have required voters to present a photo ID matching the address on your driver’s license – so if you’re a student and your license doesn’t match that new dorm or West Cam-pus address, you would be out of luck.

But on Aug. 30, a D.C. federal court shut the Voter ID bill down, ruling that it would actu-ally have a “retrogressive effect” on voting in Texas. Now that the bill’s rules are no longer a concern (for now), students have no excuse not to register to vote and have a say in the November elections.

Opportunities to register will be everywhere this fall. It’s a quick process, it’s easy, and in this time of close elections, it empowers you with the ability to make a real difference. Be sure and register by the Oct. 9 deadline, then take the next step. Register your friends, register your neighbors, and be “that person” who reminds them about the early voting and election dates.

When it comes to Voter ID, students are in the clear. Now it’s time for us to get to work.— Billy Calve is a government major from Dickinson and director of Hook the Vote, the

campus-wide voter registration campaign.

I have followed the U.S. presidential campaign so far with dismay. Having viewed Ameri-can politics for a long time as the time-tested example of political aspiration, practice and conduct, I find it disconcerting to witness the current ills perpetrated by both campaigns.

Similarities abound in my home country, Nigeria, even if in softer hues: voter suppression in the form of identification being required to vote even when no significant cases of fraud had been established; reducing early registration windows in districts that favor an opposi-tion candidate; outright lies and misinformation by both campaigns, as witnessed again in Paul Ryan’s speech at the RNC convention; hypocrisy in criticizing the same measures they once advocated, and in demanding smaller government while championing government in-volvement in more private matters; refusal/inability to provide details on promises being made; a polarized, uncooperative congress publicly pursuing personal vendettas even if the populace suffers as a result. The list seems endless.

In the final analysis, I won’t have a say on how the election turns out, being an alien, but it has certainly impacted the way I view American politics. And unfortunately for my sense of fairness, it has made me less likely to criticize these wrongs when they happen back home. If it can happen here, where democracy has been in practice for over two hundred years, it is definitely acceptable for politicians to do worse in a nascent democracy such as we have in Nigeria. America shouldn’t be seen as shying away from leadership — in political climate, practice and conduct. Seeking political office should be done with the utmost sense of re-sponsibility to one’s self, one’s country and to future generations. It shouldn’t always be about winning or losing. Therein lies the problem.

UT’s scape‘Groat’Viewpoint

Vote, nothing bars the way

An outsider’s dismay

In July, UT garnered unwelcome attention when the Public Accountability Initiative, a Buffalo-based non-profit, reported that the Plains and Explora-tion Company (PXP), which extracts natural gas from Texas shale using hydraulic fracturing or fracking, had paid UT geology professor Charles “Chip” Groat $413,900 to serve on its board, more than twice his professor’s salary. This was problem-atic because Groat had led a UT Energy Institute research team that issued a study in February con-cluding no direct link exists between fracking and groundwater contamination.

The University reacted by publicly admonish-ing Groat—University Provost Steven Leslie told reporters, “Dr. Groat has been reminded of his obligations to report all outside employment per university policy,” and announcing in August a three-person panel of outsiders unaffiliated with UT to review the Energy Institute’s fracking study. But if the episode’s only takeaway message is that Groat misled the University, larger points have been missed:

Groat’s PXP board membership was one of sev-eral problems the PAI report identified in the UT fracking study. Both the Texan, in an editorial pub-lished prior to PAI’s report, and PAI in that report questioned the UT Energy Institute’s press release about its study, which oversimplified the findings by stating: “Study Shows No Evidence of Ground-water Contamination from Hydraulic Fracturing.” The study itself was a 400-page-long review of news coverage about fracking and previously reported scientific findings rather than new experimentation, along with numerous typos and editing marks, the study contained 54 sources, which were cited in the text but not found in the listed references. The PAI report declared a claim by Energy Institute Direc-tor Ray Orbach “that the report was peer reviewed” unfounded.

“[I]t doesn’t appear it was even edited,” the PAI report said about Groat’s study.

A university with so many ties to the oil and gas industry should have taken abundant cautions be-

fore endorsing a report so apparently favorable to that industry, particularly since questions about industry-funding conflicts related to fracking re-search had arisen previously when Pennsylvania State University researchers released a 2009 report. When easily identifiable and quite frankly embar-rassing mistakes were pointed out, the University should have taken ownership of the problem in-stead of simply seeking to scapegoat Groat.

An August press release announced the three-person review panel and gave the reason for the inquiry: “Groat failed to disclose ties to the energy industry. That failure to disclose information has generated controversy about the reliability of the report.” The press release made no mention of the exaggerated, original press release, which both the PAI and the Texan noted was chiefly responsible for the propagation of a misrepresentative conclusion, or the study’s other errors such as the unfounded sourcing.

Unquestionably, Groat should have reported his potential conflict. But, as the UT ethics rules stood at the time, Groat was not required to fill out a fi-nancial disclosure conflict of interest form because the Energy Institute study was funded by the uni-versity. The UT Board of Regents recently expand-ed those disclosure requirements in an August 23 meeting. Kevin Connor, a PAI researcher, told The Texan he learned about Groat’s board membership and payment from PXP “by Googling his name.” If Connor could use Google to find Groat’s potential-ly conflicting PXP board position, why didn’t UT officials before giving Groat’s report the go-ahead at least check if he still had outside employment and if it was with an oil and gas company? That and the other errors PAI raised were ones a more scrutiniz-ing employer could have found. The notion that Groat’s failure to disclose his PXP payment repre-sents the whole or even crux of the problem with the UT Energy Institute study creates too conve-nient a rationalization for a university that aspires to be a leading authority on energy issues but has in recent months failed to show leadership or au-

Editor’s note: Because of a pro-duction problem, the following story did not appear in Friday’s issue of � e Daily Texan. It is re-printed in its entirety here.

President William Powers Jr. announced a new professor-ship � ursday that will support programs and faculty doing in-novative work in the � eld of un-dergraduate studies.

� e professorship was made in honor of outgoing School of Undergraduate Studies dean Paul Woodru� , who stepped down from his position as of today to return to full-time teaching. Alumni, Woodru� ’s former students and fellow faculty members raised $270,000 to fund the new position. In addition, the president’s o� ce is going to add an additional $100,000 to create the professorship.

Woodru� announced he was returning to teaching in June a� er six years as the � rst dean of undergraduate stud-ies. UGS associate dean Law-rence Abraham will serve as the interim dean of UGS un-til a search committee � nds a permanent replacement.

“Very o� en innovation comes from individual faculty members, who very o� en need support,” Powers said. “� is professorship will be available to support a couple of faculty members.”

Powers surprised Woodru� with the announcement at the ceremony � ursday. Woodru� has been hailed by Powers as the man who built UGS and set it on

a path to success for the future.A� er Powers’ announcement,

Woodru� said he had no idea the professorship would be cre-ated and that it would be a tool for the future UGS dean.

“� e income from that pro-fessorship will allow people to spend a lot of time invent-

ing and creating new courses,” Woodru� said.

Woodru� is returning to full-time teaching, something he said he has missed.

“He has continued teaching while being dean, but he is now returning to full-time teaching,” Abraham said. “He loves teach-

ing so much, he has continued teaching while serving as dean.”

Powers said Woodru� ’s ab-sence will be felt.

“Any time Paul Woodru� steps down from any position, it leaves a hole,” Powers said. “We’ll � ll that hole, but he is a very important and a very good

person around here.”Powers said this position is

a tool that will give professors additional support in their en-deavors to innovate UGS.

He said the professorship was created in honor of Wood-ru� and was not related to the larger incoming freshman

class, which is impacting UGS the most heavily.

“� e emphasis of [making the professorship] is we need to do something to honor Dean Woodru� ,” Powers said. “All of the larger enrollment, we’ve been working on that for three or four months. We’re ready for that.”

Network � nds new provider with AT&T

UT picked up more than one victory this past week-end, beating the University of Wyoming in its � rst sea-son match and scoring a triumph with its Longhorn Network distribution battle with cable providers.

ESPN announced the Friday morning AT&T U-Verse customers would be able to watch the open-ing game against Wyo-ming. The deal comes af-ter months of negotiation between ESPN and vari-ous cable providers. UT President William Pow-ers, Jr. said he was pleased the negotiations between ESPN and AT&T U-Verse were successful.

“This is a great day for the University of Texas, for Longhorn fans and especially for our view-ers and our fans around the state and around the country,” Powers said at a press conference Friday.

According to a January statement by the com-pany, AT&T U-Verse had six million subscribers nation-wide .

Previously, the only ma-jor local network to carry the Longhorn Network was Grande Communica-tions , which covers about 25 percent of the Austin area. Verizon FiOS also

carries the channel na-tionwide . The network has yet to reach a deal with Austin’s other major cable providers, such as Time Warner Cable , which only carries programs for na-tional distribution.

Athletic director De-Loss Dodds said some of the most important benefits of the Longhorn Network’s increased reach will go to UT students.

“We are very excited about our student athletes having the opportunity to get this kind of exposure. This is why we started this exercise maybe 10 years ago,” Dodds said. “It was about the kids.”

A� er the Texas o� ense went three and out to start the game, the Cowboys re-sponded with a 56-yard opening drive that resulted in a � eld goal.

During the Cowboy’s sec-ond drive, Wyoming quar-terback Brett Smith sent a pass down the le� sideline to Robert Herron. Both Car-rington Byndom and Adrian Phillips missed the tackle, and Herron took advantage and ran for 82 yards and a touchdown.

“It’s probably good that the defense gave up some

big plays tonight ’cause that will get their attention for next week,” head coach Mack Brown said.

� e Cowboys � nished the � rst quarter with 178 total yards, not exactly the start the Longhorns were hoping for.

“Honestly, we need to get our head out of the maga-zine and start fast and play hard,” senior safety Kenny Vaccaro said.

In the next three quarters, the defense only gave up 167 more yards.

Vaccaro swings gameSenior safety Kenny Vac-

caro was key in shi� ing the

Longhorns’ momentum a� er the defense struggled during the � rst quarter of the game.

Vaccaro intercepted a pass from Smith in the second quarter, and the o� ense capi-talized when Jaxon Shipley scored on a 16-yard touch-down reception.

“I thought the turnovers were a lot of the momentum that helped us get started,” Vaccaro said.

Later that quarter, a quar-terback pressure by Vaccaro led to an interception by Byndom. Again, the Long-horns would score, with

D.J. Monroe running in for a touchdown.

“Kenny Vaccarro is a great player, he’s not a good player. He can do some re-ally good things to help us,” Brown said.

Texas allowed Wyoming only one third-down conver-sion in 11 tries, but that one stood out like a sore thumb.

“When you give up an 80-yard pass, you can’t say your secondary played well,”

Longhorns head coach Mack Brown said.

Brett Smith dropped back on third-and-6 and hit Rob-ert Herron for one of his � ve catches near the � rst-down marker. Carrington Byndom and Adrian Phillips — two stalwarts of what is expected to be one of the nation’s best secondaries — collided while trying to bring Herron down.

Instead, Herron got the � rst down and a lot more.

“It’s my fault,” Byndom said. “I should have made the tackle. I’m not going to put the blame on [Phillips]. We just have to put the guy on the ground.”

He went 82 yards into the end zone and gave Wyoming a 9-7 lead that it would hold onto un-til Texas scored 24 unanswered points and put the game out of reach. Herron went on to catch another long touchdown pass

from Smith, but the pieces of an elite defense were on display in the Longhorns’ 37-17 season-opening win over the Cowboys.

Senior safety Kenny Vaccaro made an athletic, leaping inter-ception in the second quarter, and senior defensive end Alex Okafor forced Smith into mak-ing a weak toss into tra� c that Byndom picked o� to end Wy-oming’s next possession.

“We did get good pressure on [Smith],” junior defensive

end Jackson Je� coat said. “We got in his face and made him throw interceptions. He gave us two, which set our o� ense up to score. � at’s 14 points right there.”

A� er not recording a sack in Texas’ � rst three games last season, Okafor gave the Long-horns, who racked up 16 quar-terback hurries, their only sack of the day. But like many of his

David Ash may have been the headliner leading the game Saturday, but it was Texas’ rushing attack that stole the show.

Texas’ running backs com-bined for 260 yards and four touchdowns, pacing the Longhorns to a 37-17 victory over Wyoming.

“� e running backs did great,” Ash said. “� ey re-ally wore the D-line out dur-ing the game. As the game went on, we saw some big runs. Joe [Bergeron] and Malcolm [Brown] did a great job tonight.”

Heading into the game the backs would agree the goal was to rush for over 250 yards, and thanks to a strong second half performance they were able to eclipse that total. Most of the mileage came on the legs of Brown and Bergeron, who each surpassed the 100-yard mark (Brown 105, Bergeron 110) and contributed three touchdowns between them.

Most of their success came late in drives, when the backs’ size and ability to rotate in and out wore down the Cow-boys’ defense. A process that Bergeron compared to con-struction work, well, construc-tion on the defense that is.

“You have to pound them and eventually they’ll give it

up,” Bergeron said. “It’s like hitting a wall basically, anda� er a while that wall will just crumble, and you’ll get to go through, and then you will get those big runs.“

While the backs were busy wearing down the Wyoming front seven, Ash was e� cient

in his role as a leader and a game manager.

He went 20-for-27 in the pocket for 156 yards and a touchdown. But most impor-tantly, he avoided the costly turnovers that derailed many of his appearances in 2011. Ash did have one fumbled

snap that gave Wyoming pre-mium � eld position in Long-horn territory in the fourth quarter, but other than that, he controlled the game well.

Ash worked the under-neath routes all game long, and was accurate on his short and mid-range throws. He le�

a few long pass attempts short, but overall, the coaches were pleased with what they saw.

“I thought David did a nice job,” co-o� ensive coordina-tor Bryan Harsin said. “Da-vid did everything we asked

Senior King awarded national punter of week

Senior punter Alex King has been awarded the Na-tional Punter of the Week award from College Foot-ball Performance Awards a� er he averaged 53.3 yards per attempt in the Long-horns’ win over Wyoming.

King, a redshirt senior who transferred from Duke prior to this season, was punting in his � rst career game with Texas and per-formed well. He had one punt pin the Cowboys in-side their own 20-yard line, and had a long of 58 yards during his three attempts.

Senior Kenny Vaccaro also garnered recogni-tion as an Honorable Mention for defensive backs, a� er his � ve tackle, one interception e� ort.

Gilbert debuts for SMU, throws a pair of picks

At this time last season Garrett Gilbert was the starting quarterback for Texas. Now, a year and a major shoulder surgery later, Gilbert is the starter for SMU.

In his � rst game at the head of the Mustangs’ o� ense Gilbert faced a familiar Big 12 foe in Baylor, and it didn’t go all that well.

SMU was obliterated, 59-24, and Gilbert didn’t fare much better. � e for-mer Longhorn had two interceptions in the game, and three total turnovers.

“I’ve got to play better,” Gilbert said. “We can’t shoot ourselves in the foot the way we did. We’ve just go to continue to improve.”

Gilbert went 34-for-59 256 yards and two touchdowns.

him to do. As far as deci-sion-making goes, I am re-ally proud of what David did. With the way they played us, that’s where those balls needed to go.”

However, the biggest play of the game didn’t hap-pen on o� ense. With the Longhorns down 9-7 in the

second quarter, Wyoming quarterback Brett Smith lo� ed a deep pass over the middle that looked like it might go for a big gain. But senior safety Kenny Vac-caro swooped in to under-cut the route and snatch the ball, then turned on the jets for a return of 19

yards. From that point on, Texas went on a 17-0 run to enter hal� ime.

Head coach Mack Brown called the interception “the play that made the di� erence in the game.”

It wasn’t all perfect for the Texas defense. As a group, the Longhorns gave up some big plays through the air, and the 82-yard touchdown pass they allowed in the � rst quarter really bucks the team’s mantra of not allowing game-changing completions.

But Texas forced two turnovers — Carrington Byndom followed Vaccaro with a pick of his own — and blocked an extra point. � e defense was also stingy on third downs, only allowing the Cowboys to convert on 1 of their 11 attempts. With the good and the bad, it was a game defensive coordina-tor Manny Diaz can use as a teaching tool.

“� ere are a lot of things that we saw,” Diaz said. “I don’t think anything was terrible and as a coach that is what you want. We just need to get back and start � xing the mistakes.”

teammates on defense, he con-ceded that Texas’ defense has much to improve.

“I thought there were some bright points, like when we

got a couple turnovers in a short amount of time,” Oka-for said. “� at’s when we’re at our best. � en we had some low points when we gave

up big plays.”Okafor, however, does ex-

pect more out of the Long-horns’ defense

“I’m not going to lie to you. We want to be the No. 1 de-fense in the nation,” he said. “We showed that we could be a dominant defense.”

It’s only the � rst game of the year, and the Longhorns have several weeks between now and when they face a team with a chance of beat-ing them. Armed with a talented and deep defense that doesn’t allow many sustained drives, it’s para-mount that Texas limits the big plays it allows. At the moment, that’s what is keeping its defense from being able to lay a legiti-mate claim to being consid-ered the country’s best.

“I’m not sure how many missed tackles we had, but it was too many,” Je� coat said. “We’re going to be home again, so it should be exciting and it should be a di� erent story.”

If you started your week-end with a walk through downtown Austin, you prob-ably encountered the Long-horns running away from the competition.

� e women’s track and � eld squad got the season uno� cially started with a heated race against the UTSA Roadrunners. � e Longhorns recorded a respectable 34 team points, but UTSA won the dual meet.

Saturday’s exhibition meet served as a showcase for the Longhorns’ younger runners. Top runners were held out of the race, but the squad was

still able to show future talent while gaining quality experi-ence for the newcomers.

“� e freshman group com-ing in, at this point and time, is better than any freshman group I’ve ever had at � e University of Texas,” assis-tant coach Stephen Sisson said. “We did a good job of recruiting last year.”

Redshirt freshmen Alaina Perez and Marissa Lee looked impressive, each � nishing in the top 10 of the meet. Red-shirt freshman Marissa Pekar-ek was the � � h member of the Longhorns to score points for the team, � nishing 12th.

� e team was powered by senior Anne Jones, who placed � rst among all run-ners. Junior Melissa Mahoney joined her fellow upperclass-man in totaling points for the team, as she � nished 11th overall.

Sophomores Rachel Gut-knecht and Jessica Cloth-ier and redshirt freshman Colleen Murray also raced for the Longhorns.

� is race marked the � rst for Perez, Lee, Peka-rek, Clothier and Murray in a Longhorn uniform.

“From a base lev-el, a competitive atti-

tude has to be inherent,” Sis-son said. “If you don’t have the drive to win, you won’t be successful at Texas.”

� e Longhorns will look to o� cially get their season kicked o� right Sept. 21 when they compete at the Los An-geles XC invite.

WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Matt Warden| Daily Texan Staff

With an opportunity to get its � rst marquee win of the season, Texas dropped a pair of games over the weekend, falling to 2-4 on the season.

Friday’s match against Virginia was Texas’ � rst against a ranked opponent, and the Cavaliers lived up to their ranking. � e No. 10 Cavaliers got a goal in the 20th minute, which ended up being the deciding goal in a 3-0 contest. � e teams traded shots in the � rst few minutes with each school getting good looks, but nei-ther was able to capitalize. Virginia’s Molly Menchel put a volley in the upper right corner of the goal to give the Cavaliers the lead going into the second half.

Virginia added two insur-ance tallies a� er half time, and Texas was unable to put any shots past Virginia’s goal-keeper, Churchill O’Connell, despite having more chances than Virginia.

A� er falling in the � rst major test of the season, the Longhorns were un-able to recover Sunday as New Mexico scored its win-ning goal in extra

time to steal a 2-1 game.Texas got on the board

early with a goal in the 10th minute. Sophomore Sharis Lachappelle registered her � rst career goal with a header from the free kick of Kristin Cummins.

� e game wore on with Texas clinging to a one-goal lead until the Lobos man-aged a tally in the 90th min-ute to extend the game. A� er a scoreless � rst overtime pe-riod, New Mexico pounced on a mid� eld turnover to give Jordan Craig her second goal of the game, the winner for the Lobos.

Texas outshot both Vir-ginia and New Mexico for the fourth and � � h time of the season, but its inability to � n-ish has led to its four losses.

Cummins and junior Gabby Zarnegar were both selected for the Time War-ner Cable Texas Invitational All-Tournament Team.

Texas will travel to Provo, Utah, for a match against BYU � ursday. It

will be only the second match for Texas o u t s i d e of Austin.

� e No. 6 ranked Long-horns started their season Saturday in the wee hours of the morning, competing in a four-mile race with UTSA at Auditorium Shores.

� ere weren’t the usual faces competing for Texas as head coach Bubba � ornton elected to sit most of last season’s top re-turning runners. Instead, it was a group of standout freshmen that got the job done, led by Daniel Vertiz, Brady Turnbull

and Nate Moore. � ey claimed the top three spots in the race and led the Longhorns to a narrow 29-30 victory. Road-runner Mike Medrano led the UTSA squad with a fourth place � nish.

Sophomores CJ Jessett and Kyle � ompson, along with equally impressive freshmen David Anamosa and Shaun Van der Walt, turned in im-pressive � nishes as well.

Texas went into the meet with

lo� y expectations and praise, and the Longhorns certainly looked the part of a team that has a conference championship at the top of its agenda. � e Big 12 is loaded in 2012, boasting the No. 2 team in the coun-try, Oklahoma State, and the No. 4 team, Oklahoma.

While the Longhorns will have some serious work to do to claim the conference cham-pionship, Saturday proved to be a step in the right direction.

Last year’s star freshman, Craig Lutz, who � nished 33rd in the NCAA in 2011, Mark Pinales and the new crop of freshmen who led the Longhorns to victory over the weekend, ap-pear ready to give the Big 12 a run for its money.

Texas is out of commis-sion until Sept. 28, when it will compete in the Grass Routes Festival here in Austin, where it will look to build on this weekend’s performance.

In a weekend of highs and lows, Texas beat an op-ponent with a higher hitting percentage and succumbed to a lower-ranked opponent at last weekend’s Nike Big Four Tournament, marking the team’s � rst loss a� er � ve straight 3-0 sweeps.

Texas took on No. 18 Flor-ida Friday, with outside hitter Haley Eckerman posting 16 kills and three service aces to push the Longhorns toward a 3-0 sweep against the Ga-tors. In a match sprinkled with strong performances, outside hitter Bailey Webster had 13 kills, while middle blocker/outside hitter Khat Bell had a season-high 10 kills, hitting .533. Florida’s outside hit-

ter Ziva Recek led the game with 22 kills.

� e Gators had an early lead in the third set, but two hitting errors allowed the Longhorns to catch up. A� er two Gator blocks tied the game at 23-23, Webster closed the set with two straight kills, completing the 3-0 sweep.

“I liked our demeanor and the way we approached each point,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said. “We made plays when it counted, and that tells me a lot about this team. Florida really tested us today.”

� e Gators have never been a particularly easy opponent. Texas hasn’t defeated Florida since Dec. 7, 2007. Texas is now 6-12 all-time against Florida.

“My team brought me up from the get-go today,” sopho-more Bell said. “I was strug-gling a bit mentally as far as my performance early, but then I was looking at [Sha’Dare] Mc-Neal, Bailey [Webster], Haley [Eckerman] and they were able to bring me up.”

On Saturday, the Longhorns were swept by No. 4 Penn State on its home grounds in Uni-versity Park, Pa. Elliott said he saw the Penn State match as a good opportunity for his young team.

A strong Penn State de-fense held Eckerman and Bell to .231 hitting nights, with Webster hitting .172 on 11 kills. Penn State setter Micha Hancock had 34 assists, � ve

kills, � ve digs and two aces. Eckerman tied it up in the

� rst set at 19-19, but Texas committed a service error and two hitting errors, al-lowing Penn State to take the � rst set with two more kills. In the third set, Webster tied it at 18-18, but back-to-back Penn State blocks allowed the Nittany Lions to pull away, completing the 3-0 sweep.

Carrington Byndom and Adri-an Phillips botched a tackle, and that led to an 82-yard touchdown for the Cowboys. The secondary looked much better after the fi rst quarter, but there were costly mistakes early on. The defen-sive line only allowed Wyoming to gain 69 yards on the ground. Alex Okafor had the Longhorns’ lone sack.

True freshman kicker Nick Jor-dan missed 44- and 46-yard fi eld goal attempts and had an extra point blocked. But punter Alex King had an impressive average of 53.3 yards per punt.

Other than the early struggles in the secondary and the kicking game problems, the Longhorns were consistent. Texas only had three penalties in the game.

Quarterback David Ash had a solid game, going 20-for-27 for 156 yards and a touchdown, though he missed on a few deep balls and fumbled in the fourth quarter. The running backs led the team with four of the Longhorns’ fi ve touch-downs. Wide receivers Mike Da-vis and Jaxon Shipley each had at least 40 yards and Shipley had a touchdown reception.

Ground game rollsWith four of the team’s � ve

touchdowns being scored on the run, Texas’ back� eld looks to be as dominant as last year.

Both Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron ran more than 100 yards and the Longhorns had 280 total rushing yards.

� e two running back leaders took advantage of the holes that the im-proving o� ensive line created for them.

Bergeron came to life in the fourth quarter when he had a 54-yard run from the Tex-as nine and then � nished o� the drive with a 17-yard run for a touchdown.

The true events that “Compliance” is based on — a series of particularly cruel prank calls to fast-food restaurants — call to mind instances like the Stanford prison experi-ment, where participants were driven to indulge the darkest parts of their psyche under the guise of following orders. It would be easy to call the film out-rageous if its events weren’t so well-documented.

Easily, the ruthless film could have become ex-ploitative. Thankfully, di-rector Craig Zobel’s ma-ture, restrained handling of the challenges inherent to the film’s difficult mate-rial makes “Compliance” a much smarter, more effective work.

“Compliance” takes place almost entirely in an Ohio fast-food restaurant. San-dra (Ann Dowd), the res-taurant’s manager, is star-tled when she receives a call from a man claiming to be a police officer (Pat Healy). His allegations that an em-ployee (Dreama Walker) stole from a customer es-calate quickly, first with ra-

tional requests like check-ing the employee’s pockets and purse and quickly de-volving into much more troubling demands.

Zobel deserves endless credit for making “Com-pliance” as compelling and even-handed as it is. A small accumulation of de-tails at the beginning of the film — Sandra is irritated because of food left out overnight and has trouble relating to the younger, prettier Becky (Walker) — build Sandra’s frustrations and anxiety to a point that makes her blind obedience to the fictional officer on the other end of the line believable. Zobel paces the film perfectly, holding each of his big reveals for a key moment and smartly playing its most repulsive moments as straight hor-ror. Even so, the level of restraint Zobel wields in his construction of these scenes is admirable, and he does a great job making the audience squirm, almost as if we are equally complicit in the poor girl’s peril.

can easily become half-baked or ill-de� ned, but Healy is the perfect combi-nation of slimy and charm-ing. His “O� cer Daniels” is a master manipulator, and in this character the � lm’s writing truly shines. Dan-iels is endlessly capable of rationalizing what he’s ask-ing others to do, and his voice carries just the right amount of authority without ever becoming badly insidi-ous. Healy’s performance borders on seductive, espe-

cially in the way that Dan-iels slowly pushes Dowd’s Sandra further and further out of her comfort zone with equally negative and positive reinforcement.

Dowd has di� cult ground to navigate here, because Sandra is equal parts victim and perpetrator. Her role is harsh, almost caustic. As Sandra’s actions grow worse, every ounce of sympathy the audience has for her trickles away until the devastating moment when Sandra learns

what’s really going on. As the full weight of what she’s done hits her, the dawning horror on Sandra’s face is beautiful-ly played by Dowd. Walker has a less interesting charac-ter but is just as fascinating to watch as she quickly loses control of her situation. It’s a quiet, horri� ed, tragically helpless performance, and Walker is playing an empty, devastated shell by the end of the � lm.

“Compliance” is by no means a � lm for everyone. It’s

dark, relentless and when it screened at this year’s South By Southwest Film Festival, the number of walkouts in the screening was consider-able (and understandable). Nonetheless, it’s a smoothly presented, intelligently di-rected examination of the dynamics and perception of authority. “Compliance” is tautly edited, elegantly scored and a worthwhile discussion starter for those with the willpower to sit through it.

that is still in the making, all projects can find a home in the Lab.

A collection of new works, including “The Fare-well,” opens Sept. 29. Still in its early phases, this “work-shop” — theater slang for a production that is still in the works — will unveil mul-tiple performances written by students. This showcase offers a unique opportunity to be involved with the for-mation of a budding cre-ative initiative. There will be audience participation as well as a Q-and-A “talk back“ after the show so au-dience members can voice thoughts and opinions. “The Farewell,“ directed by students Olivia Dunn and Katie Folger, centers on ex-ploring the emotions of loss and grief, while other plays in the showcase focus on other emotions.

Rather than make some-thing new altogether, UT alumnus Diego Medel-lin chose to create an

adaptation of Woyzeck, the German classic, into “23{WOYZECK}23,” which opens Oct. 3. The seat-ing will be on the stage, so theatergoers will be able to see from up close the tale of a man who is humiliated, beaten and ultimately has to make life-changing deci-sions. The playwright died at the age of 23, leaving this play incomplete and out of order. The 23-year-old Medellin embraced the parallel between his and the playwright’s age and decided to stretch himself creatively as the playwright had done, adding things to the work and arranging the scenes according to his own creative vision.

“One of the hardest things is deciding how much respect I should give to the playwright,” said Medellin, who has stayed in Austin after graduat-ing to continue his work in theater.

“The Complete Works of

Shakespeare (Abridged)” is a more tried-and-true piece of phenomenal theater, opening Oct. 25. A YouTube search brings up many ex-amples of the performance’s quick repartee and physical comedy. The creative license of the play allows for certain alterations in order to keep the piece current with the times, so potential audience members needn’t be afraid of seeing something dated. Theatre studies junior Kelli Kent, who is directing the play, said one of the allures of this piece is its ability to poke fun at something that has ingrained itself in cul-tures throughout the world.

“It’s a good way to intro-duce people to Shakespeare. You should be able to laugh at it,” Kent said. As anyone who has read the Bard’s plays can tell you, sometimes circumstances in Shake-speare’s plays become truly absurd, and that’s exactly what “The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)”

harps on. The students col-laborating on this produc-tion intend to stay true to the quick and witty banter that put this play on the map and they don’t plan on shying away from the physi-cal aspect, either. Kent said that one of the stunt-driv-en scenes took two hours to choreograph.

These diamonds in the rough are the pulse that keeps the arts fresh, new and exciting. The Lab The-atre had an strong season last semester with such works as the beautifully constructed “Cloud Tec-tonics,” the introspective and heart-thumping “Love Is...” and the wildly funny and incredibly innovative “100 Gun Deaths.” This upcoming season prom-ises to be just as touching and imaginative. These are works that are not to be missed, and since all of these performances are free, there is no reason not to go.

White House ale hops on Obama campaign

NATION

WASHINGTON — Beer lovers, the secret is out.

� e White House has made public the recipe for two homemade beers that have become an object of fascination for beer drink-ers everywhere.

White House Honey Brown Ale, believed to be the � rst beer brewed on the White House grounds, includes light malt ex-tract, amber crystal malt, honey, gypsum, yeast and corn sugar.

� e recipe was released Saturday while President Barack Obama was cam-paigning in Iowa.

Obama has been talk-ing about the White House brew for weeks, but he and other o� cials had refused to disclose details of how it’s made, despite an on-line petition and repeated questions from report-ers. Obama even took a question on the beer rec-ipe during a chat with the website Reddit.

Obama and his team frequently talk about the president’s fondness for beer, and Obama has been photographed many times downing a beer, including an appearance at the Iowa State Fair August.

Being identi� ed as a beer

drinker is an easy way for Obama to connect with vot-ers and serves as a not-so-subtle reminder that his Re-publican rival Mitt Romney, a Mormon, doesn’t drink.

Obama even held a “beer summit” a� er a white police sergeant arrested black Har-vard professor Henry Louis Gates as he tried to get into his own home.

White House press secre-tary Jay Carney announced the beer recipe on Twit-ter, linking to a blog post entitled “Ale to the Chief ” that included a video on the brewing process. � e White House was careful to say the president paid for the materials used in the beer-making himself.

“With public excitement about White House beer fermenting such a buzz, we decided we better hop right to it” and release the recipe, wrote White House chef Sam Kass, who brews the beer in the White House kitchen.

� e White House includ-ed recipes for both the hon-ey ale and a honey porter, both of which are brewed at the White House.

In the video, Kass is seen drinking the honey ale.

“� at is one incredible beer if I do say so myself,” Kass says, smiling. “Ameri-ca, I wish everybody could taste this but we don’t quite brew enough.”
