And he requested University-wide cooperation in the effort to reallocate the budget Some faculty say that amid the effort to divert money to meet annual minimum percent salary increases, relieve salary compression arid attract new faculty tal­ ent administrators are looking in the least obvious of places: their own paychecks. 'Ifw e are going to examine areas of the budget to cut we should not limit the examination to academic units," said David Hillis, chair elect of faculty council and integrative biology professor in an e-mail. "Academic programs have already been stripped to the bone... We should broaden the search for cuts to include adminis­ tration." The number of administrative positions has increased over the past 10 years. Since 1998, four new vice presi­ dent offices have been added, along with additional associate vice presidents and assistant vice presidents. There are nine vice presidents working under the president's office. Though administrators and former University presi­ dents say the áre of the administration is justified by the University's size and volume of tasks to be done, starting administrator salaries are in most cases $100,000 more than that of an average tenured professor. In two cases, the promotion to a vice-presidential position came with at least a $50,000 raise — not much more than many professor salaries. A September 2006 UT job inventory report said there are 36 associate deans — 26 working part time — who make an average annual salary of $153,184. Many erf the associate deans are also professors. Other top-tier universities of the same size operate with fewer positions. University erf Minnesota operates with eight via? presidential offices with a 2006 enroll­ ment erf 50,402, which slightly exceeds U Ts student population. Former UT president Larry Faulkner reorganized his administration in 2000 after two years because he said he felt it was "under-structured." "I was satisfied when I was president that the vice president structure that we settled on was what was required to provide the right level of operational respon­ sibility over big sectors of the institution and what was recjuired for people with the talent level to get that oversight," he said. Faulkner added exclusive vice presidential offices for the public affairs and information technology. Peter Flawn, president of the University from 1979 to BUDGET continues on page 2A (9U I 3H ® .

Texas goes down fighting By Cody Hale Daily Texan Staff DALLAS — A physically battered Colt McCoy wandered around mid-field at the Cotton Bowl looking for Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford. Unhooking his shoulder pads with each step, McCoy couldn't wait to find Bradford so he could get off the turf. In the back drop, the Sooners (5-1, 1-1 Big 12) posed for the cameras as they donned the Golden Hat after their nail- biting 28-21 victory over Texas (4-2, 0-2) on Saturday at the Cotton Bowl. McCoy couldn't wait to get away from all of the celebration that didn't belong to the Longhorns this year. A After McCoy and Bradford met to exchange a few words, the Texas quarterback hurried off the field as the rain started to fall. For McCoy and the rest of the Longhorns, this one might hurt for a while. "It is what you expect out of Texas and OU," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "It was as physi­ cal a football game I have seen since I have been at Texas." It was also the closest the Texas-OU game has been since 1997 when Texas defeated Oklahoma 27-24, and the first time McCoy has lost to Oklahoma in the rivalry game. Brown is now 4-6 against the Sooners and Texas is 0-2 in con­ ference play for the first time since 1956. "Oklahoma is a great football team and you have to give them credit," McCoy said. "It was even on both sides for most of the game. It was just a great game." As the press conference ended, McCoy limped off the podium to head to the locker rooms. Leading up to the 102nd meeting between Texas and Oklahoma, no one gave the Longhorns a chance. With both teams coming off upsets the week before, many felt the Longhorns were fac­ ing the Sooners at the worst time. But none of that matters in a game of this magnitude. Record and statistics have to be thrown out. Texas came out and played its best game of the season and matched up well with Oklahoma. The Longhorns had their chances to seize con­ trol of the game, but costly turnovers and a big defensive breakdown in the fourth quarter spoiled Texas' attempt to take three in a row from the Sooners. "You know any loss is tough, but when you go and play as hard as you can as a team, and you have a lot of energy and you have a lot of effort, its hard and it cuts to the core," defensive tackle Derek Lokey said. "Especially to lose to Oklahoma here in Dallas." The Sooners drew first blood with 39 seconds left in the first quarter on an eight-play, 84-yard drive that ended in a one-yard touchdown reception from Bradford to Jermaine Gresham. Texas needed two plays to tie the game. McCoy hit tight end Jermichael Finley across the middle of the field, and Finley broke it outside and scampered down the sidelines for a 55-yard reception. On the next play, McCoy directed receiver Jordan Shipley to the back of the end-zone for Texas' first touchdown. "I feel like offensively we were moving the ball every time we had the ball," McCoy said. "I felt we really were effective offensively, and we played well as a team."

UTPD responded to a call of a suspicious ehicle parked in the loading dock behind !ster East Dormitory just after midnight unday morning. Police found Gatewood t the car and located marijuana inside, iatewood also was in possession of pre- zription anti-anxiety drug Xanax as well as nitrex, a pain reliever typically prescribed ir acute headaches or migraines, University pekeswoman Rhonda Weldon said. All three drug charges are Class B misde­ meanors carrying the possible penalty' of six months in jail and a $2,000 fine. Gatewood, a backup safety who saw play­ ing time on special teams, was released from Travis County Jail Sunday afternoon after posting bond. This is Gatewood's second arrest in less than a month and third run-in with the law as a Longhorn. Austin police arrested the fifth-year senior on Sept. 13 for alleged pos­ session of marijuana and possession of a liq­ uid codeine mixture known as "lein." Texas Coach Mack Brown suspended Gatewood indefinitely after the incident. True freshman Ben Wells was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia in the September incident, but was not arrested. Gatewood was one of the Longhorns involved in the 2006 arrests of former Texas football players Tarrell Brown and Aaron Harris for marijuana and gun charges.

After levels National poverty in rural and urban areas peaked around 1996 and 1998 but have decreased since then, according to charts Suárez presented. The secretariat defines pov­ erty under three categories: food, capacity and assets. Food pover­ ty is the inability to pay for food baskets, he said, and capacity poverty is the inability to provide for food, education and health. Assets poverty is the inability to provide for food, education, health, dress, dwelling, energy and transportation. The percentage of the poor population by household living in food poverty decreased from 17.4 percent to 10.6 percent from 1992 to 2006, according to the presen­ tation, while the percent of poor by household living in capacities poverty decreased from 21.8 per­ cent to 16.1 percent in the same period. The percentage living in assets poverty decreased from 44.1 percent to 35.5 percent over a 14-year period, but still accounts for the highest percentage of the poor population. The secretariat has 27 pro­ grams aimed at reducing pov­ erty in Mexico, Suárez said. An example is a habitat program that transforms urban neighborhoods into "safe and ordered places." A nursery program has also created more than 3,000 nursery schools that serve 60,000 children around Mexico, he said The secretariat has created a social information system using data from population censuses, Income Survey, the National MEXICO continues on page 2A GRUENE ART FESTIVAL The other Texas tradition you may have missed this weekend during the OU rivalry game I n d e x W orld&Nation............ 3A University....................... 6A Focus.

BUDGET: Professors say University follows financial model of large corporation From p a g e l A 1985, said in an e-mail that "things are very different now." "When Norm Hackerman, who preceded me as president by some years, used to point out that he ran the University with only two vice presidents, I informed him about all the new state and federal require­ ments for reporting, complying, auditing and accounting that had been forced on as by external bureau­ cracies," Flawn said. Dunng Flawn's first tenure as pres­ ident, the University had one internal financial auditor. When he came back as interim president in 1997, he mid, there were 14 internal auditors. A March 2005 audit of the University's administration mandat­ ed by the Texas Legislature found that the University was structurally sound and reported few or no prob­ lems with efficiency. Yet some faculty say it's not a matter of positions, but the disproportion between adminis­ trative salaries and faculty salaries. Powers said the percentage of UT's budget that goes to administration is lower than many other comparable universities. Classics professor Thomas Palaima said the structure of the University administration increasingly mirrors the structure of a corporation, with chief executive officers making dou­ ble and triple the money of employ­ ees. "Naturally, faculty are upset," Palaima said. "We get vice presi- dent-thls and vice president-that. The amount to have a vice president office is enormous. There has been a trend to follow the 'corporate model' and compensate the administrators at scales far above what even the best faculty get" English professor Doug Bruster told The Daily Texan in August that 38 erf the 73 professors in the English department make less than they did five years ago, which some in the department say could jeopardize the ability to compete for faculty with other top universities with better sal­ ary packages. In August, the UT System Board of Regents approved a 13.6-percent salary increase for Powers, capping his annual salary at $627500. In June 2006, Gregory Vincent, who was formerly vice provost for inclusion and cross cultural effective­ ness, became vice president for diver­ sity and community engagement and received a $50,000 pay raise and a staff that rose from two to 200. Since then, he has received an additional $40,000 pay raise. Vincent also took over the respon­ sibilities of the dissolved Office of Vice President for Community and Sch(X)l Relations, adding several programs already in existence, and retained his previous responsibility to increase diversity' at UT. 'T would say the job is significantly different and significantly expand­ ed," Vincent said. "I want to make it dear that I think, given that what we've been asked to do, the size of our portfolio is justified." Patricia Ohlendorf was appoint­ ed vice president for institutional relations and legal affairs in 1998, and she is now making nearly $100,000 more than she was before the promotion from her vice pro­ vost position. Paul Woodruff, who was appoint­ ed to dean of undergraduate studies on Sept. 1, 2006, and now makes $230X)00 a year, said his promotion has given him the necessary tools to implement the overhaul of the under­ graduate core curriculum. "We were not quite sure on the [Task Force on Curricular Reform] what sort of position would work best for this task, but I am now convinced that we need a dean of undergradu­ ate studies for sustaining curriculum reform over the years, and also for organizing the existing array of aca­ demic services across the University," Woodruff said in an e-mail. Woodruff had been the director of the Plan II Honors Program for 15 years. Powers said there are no plans to cut administrative positions and that the recent 2-percent cuts made to colleges affected administrative units as well. "We haven't cut positions," Powers said. "What the colleges or depart­ ments do is up to them. It has not just been the colleges; it has been all of the administrative units, including my office, that have taken this 2-percent reallocation. The faculty got a 3-per­ cent pay raise. That money did not go back to the administrative units. The administrative units actually took more of a cut than the colleges."

MEXICO: System shows where poverty programs are needed From p a g e l A yearly evaluations and adminis­ trative records of ministry pro­ grams and surveys on opinions toward social policies, he said. A version of this information system will be available to the University per the agreement. Suárez demonstrated the new social information system, which breaks Mexico into municipalities and localities so the government can track the poverty levels of individuals and households and the programs available to them. For example, a user can click on a locality and find what kind of aid a particular beneficiary receives, when he or she receives it, and the amount he or she receives. He said the system shows current program locations and also allows users to assess where programs are needed. Bryan Roberts, director of the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin Am erican Studies, the m inistry contacted said the University three years ago about a potential research agreement. Roberts said a secre­ tariat official expressed concern that data sets would be lost if the secretariat does not make research agreements with U.S. or Mexican universities. Hugh Harleston, the secretari­ at's assistant director for integra­ tion of censuses, echoed the same concern. "The information is so rich that we haven't had enough time or people to work with it to exploit it as it should be," Harleston said. He said he hopes that the data and subsequent research will help to achieve "better social develop­ ment in Mexico." Because the data within the information system is very detailed, Roberts said legal coun­ sels from both Institutions were involved in assuring confidential­ ity of the beneficiaries. P revious co llabo ratio n s with the Mexican government include the 2005 formation of the for International Center Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials. UT later collaborated with the state of Nuevo Leon to launch INVITE, a program that aids Mexican entrepreneurs. RIVALRY: Longhorns 0-2 in Big 12 play following Cotton Bowl From page 1A Texas' next drive was just as McCoy hit Finley once again for 58 yards to get the Longhorns down to the Oklahoma 27-yard line. Two plays later, McCoy com­ pleted a five-play, 83-yard drive with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Finley. Oklahoma scored on its next possession when Bradford con­ nected with Grisham for a seven- yard touchdown. "I don't think the game slowed down, but I think the coaches did a good job of getting us in good situations," Bradford said. "We had a good plan, and when we got out there, things just got rolling." Texas on its first drive of the third quarter as well. The Longhorns drove down to the Oklahoma eight-yard line, but were pushed back to the 13- yard line after a delay of game. On a first-and-goal, running back Jamaal Charles appeared to find the end-zone for the lead, but the ball had been stripped out by Curtis Lofton and recovered the four-yard Line. "I was holding the ball well," Charles said. "He was just a good tackier." The Sooners' next score came when DeMarco Murray hopped over one of his blockers and ran past Texas' defense for a 65-yard touchdown run to put Oklahoma up 21-14. Things looked that way for "That was a big play in the game. To turn around and watch DeMarco go 65, it gave us some momentum back," Bradford said. "It was key in getting us going and getting us into a rhythm. That play just kind of sparked us." Texas tied the game up on a Vondrell McGee one-yard touch­ down run, but Oklahoma went 94 yards on the ensuing drive as Bradford hit a wide-open Malcolm Kelly on a flag route in the end- zone. "Coach Stoops expressed all week that the game will change; they will get the momentum, we will get the momentum," Kelly said. "So, when you get the momentum, you have to hold it." That's exactly what the Sooners did when Charles tipped McCoy's pass into the hands of defensive back Reggie Smith on Texas' drive after the touchdown. The Longhorns had one more chance at the end of the game after a Sooner missed field goal, but time expired after a holding pen­ alty on the last play of the game, which was an 18-yard completion to Nate Jones. "I like the pride and passion of the team," Jones said. "I think the team just kept fighting and fighting." After the game, fans on the Texas side of the stadium began to filter out while Oklahoma's half stayed as loud as they were all game. The Sooners celebrated all the way up the tunnel as they became re-acquainted with the Golden Hat. Celebrating 41 y ea rs in Austin!

Another victim was in critical condition. The suspect was 20 years old and worked full-time as a Forest County deputy sheriff and part- time as a Crandon police officer, Sheriff Keith Van Cleve said. The deputy was not working at the time of the shooting, he said. The survivor was hospitalized in nearby Marshfield, said Police Chief John Dennee. A Crandon police officer who fired back was treated for minor injuries and released. Gary Bradley, mayor of the city of about 2,000, said earlier Sunday that the suspect had been brought dow n by a sniper, but Van Cleve would not confirm that officers shot the suspect. It w asn't im m ediately clear w hat the gunm an's motive was, but the mother of a 14-year-old victim said the suspect may have been a jealous boyfriend. The shooting occurred in a white, two- story duplex about a block from dow ntow n Crandon. Three of the victims were Crandon High School students, said schools S uperintendent Richard Peters. The other three had graduated from the high school within the past three years. The sheriff did not release the deputy's name, but Peters identi­ fied him as Tyler Peterson, also a graduate of the 300-student high school. "There is probably nobody in Crandon w ho is not affected by this," Peters said, adding that stu­ dents would be especially affect­ ed. "They are going to wake up in shock and disbelief and a lot of pain." One of the dead was 14-year- old Lindsey Stahl, said her moth­ er, Jenny Stahl, 39. She said her daughter called her Saturday night and asked whether she could sleep over at a friend's house. Jenny Stahl agreed. "I'm waiting for somebody to wake me up right now. This is a bad, bad dream," the weeping m other said. "All I heard it was a jealous boyfriend and he went berserk. He took them all out." Karly Johnson, 16, said that she knew the gunm an and that he had helped her in a tech educa­ tion class. "He graduated with my broth­ er," she said. "He was nice. He was an average guy. Normal. You w ouldn't think he could do that." Marci Franz, 35, who lives two houses south of the duplex, said gunshots awoke her. "I heard probably five or six shots, a short pause and then five or six more," she said. "I w asn't sure if it was gunfire initially. I thought some kids were messing around and hitting a nearby metal building." Then she heard eight louder tires squealing, she shots and said. "I was just about to get up and call it in, and I heard sirens," she said. "There's never been a trag­ edy like this here. There's been individual incidents, but nothing of this magnitude." Her husband, David Franz, 36, said it was hard to accept that someone in law enforcement com­ mitted such an act. "The first statem ent we said to each other was, how did he get through the system?" David Franz said. "How do they know som ebody's background, espe­ cially that young? It is disturbing, to say the least." The sheriff said he would meet with state Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen on Monday morning to discuss the case. Dennee said the state Departm ent of Criminal Investigation will handle the case because the suspect was a deputy and officer. The Crandon School District called off classes Monday. The community, about 225 miles north of Milwaukee in an area known for logging and outdoor activities, is facing a trying time but is pulling together, Bradley said. "We are a strong community.

C h i c a g o h e a t b r i n g s a n n u a l m a r a t h o n t o a h a l t Darfur town burned to ground Sudanese troops took control o f village after attack on peacekeepers By Alfred de Montesquiou T h e A ssocia te d Press KHARTOUM, Sudan — A Darfur town under the control of Sudanese troops has been razed in apparent retaliation for a rebel attack on a nearby base of African peacekeepers. U.N. officials who inspected the town said Sunday that about 15,000 C h ilians had fled the area. International aid workers and United Nations officials dismissed claims by some rebel chiefs that 100 people had died in the North Darfur town of Haskanita. The officials said the town em ptied as the arm y moved in last Sunday, and troops started burning it on Wednesday. A U.N. statement did not say w ho set fire to the ethnic African town but said Sudanese govern­ m ent forces took control after suspected Darfur rebels attacked the nearby base of African Union peacekeepers a week ago, killing 10 peacekeepers. Haskanita, "which is currently under the control of the govern­ ment, w as completely burned down, except for a few buildings," said the U.N. mission to Sudan. A U.N. official who had just returned from Haskanita said it was clear that the arm y or its allied militias of nom ad Arabs known as the janjaweed were behind it. The Arab-dominated governm ent and the janjaweed militias are accused of regularly burning ethnic African villages as part of their counterinsurgency campaign against rebels. The official said a full arm y battalion of 800 troops w as sta­ tioned at the entrance of the sm oldering tow n, w hich w as otherw ise empty. "There's absolutely no doubt the army and janjaweed did it," the official said on condition of ano­ nymity because the Sudanese gov­ ernment regularly expels observ­ ers who speak out against abuses. rising An Associated Press reporter saw Haskanita intact last Sunday when the arm y m oved in, though plum es of smoke could already be seen from several nearby villages. The town had about 7,000 people, and the other thousands fled from surround­ ing areas, said Orla Clinton, a spokeswom an in Sudan for the U.N. Office for Coordination of Hum anitarian Affairs. The rebel attack on the base came amid a governm ent offen­ sive that had been raging for two weeks in the same region. Some rebels have said the attack on the AU peacekeepers m ay have hap­ pened because some rebel groups suspected the AU of collaboration with Sudanese forces, something the AU sharply denies. U.N. spokesw om an Radhia Achouri said it would be up to the African Union to investigate who was behind the town's destruction. "The U.N. has no m andate to incidents," investigate security she said in an e-mail to the AP. Sudan's governm ent denies backing the janjaweed, w ho have been accused of the worst atroci­ ties in Darfur. More than 200,000 people have died and 2.5 mil­ lion have been chased from their homes since ethnic African rebels took up arm s against the cen­ tral governm ent in February 2003, accusing it of discrimination. The AU said was investigating last week's attack on its base, but could not say whether it would expand the inquiry to the tow n's destruction. Gen. Martin Agwai, the com­ mander of the 7,000-member AU peacekeeping force in Darfur, vowed last week that he would rebuild H askanita's base and resend troops there soon. Large quantities of amm unition and sev­ eral vehicles were looted from the base when rebels raided it. The underfunded ill- equipped AU force has been over­ whelmed in its efforts to quell Darfur's bloodshed. A joint AU- U.N. force of 26,000 peacekeepers is due to takeover on Jan. 1, also to be headed by Agwai. and Darfur rebel groups have trad­ ed accusations on w ho attacked the AU base. Peacekeepers told the AP last week that they had identified the assailants as belong­ ing to a splinter group called SLA- Unity, which has been invited to the peace talks. But Sunday, M oham m ed Osman, a local chief of SLA-Unity, told the AP by satellite phone that his group had no role in the attack, blaming it on the Justice and Equality Movement. JEM leader Khalil Ibrahim dis­ missed that claim. "I swear on the Q uran neither I nor any of my men took part," Ibrahim said, referring to Islam's holy book. WORLD BRIEFLY U.S. troops fatally shoot 3 Iraqi guards south of Baghdad PATROL BASE HAWKS, Iraq — W h en U.S. sentries fatally shot three gu ard s near an Iraqi-m anned checkpoint south of Baghdad, they th o u gh t they were targeting enem y fighters planting roadside bom bs, according to the Am erican co m ­ m ander of the region. The shootings, w hich are still under investigation, underscore a new dilem m a facing U.S. troops as former fighters join forces against extremists and Iraqis are increasingly forced to take up arm s to protect themselves — ho w does one distinguish them from the enem y? m ade a mistake but rather see what we can learn from that particular The U.S. military said the American troops shot the three civilians Thursday near a checkpoint m anned by local m em bers of a U.S.-allied grou p helping provide security in the village of A bu Lukah, near Musayyib, a Shiite-dominated tow n 40 miles south of Baghdad. Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, com m ander of the 3rd Infantry Division that controls territory south of Baghdad, stressed the investigation was continuing but said initial results showed that U.S. troops fired on the checkpoint after spotting what appeared to be enem y forces planting roadside bombs. "W e are not looking to see w h o event," Lynch told The Associated Press Saturday. Lynch said it's critical to "better coordinate between coalition forces, Iraqi security forces and concerned citizens,"as he calls the vigilante-style groups that have sprouted up across the country to fight extremists. The com m ents reflect rising con­ cerns about possible friendly fire killings that could threaten to undermine the U.S. strategy of seeking alliances with local Sunni and Shiite leaders to fill the vacuum left by a national police force that has been plagued by corruption allegations and infiltration by militants. — The Associated Press FALL SALE until the END of O ctober a u s T i n 500 N.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Health and H um an Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said Bush would be willing to provide more than the $5 billion increase over five years that he first proposed. He declined to say how m uch addi­ tional m oney w as possible. But in a warning to Democratic leaders w ho have pledged to stick with their $35 billion increase, Leavitt said Bush would not waver despite attempts to override his veto last week. The Senate approved the increase by a veto-proof margin, but the House scheduled an override vote. Leavitt said the Dem ocratic- controlled Congress, not the Republican administration, w ould pay the political price if the State Children's Health Insurance Program stalls du e to gridlock.

New ultrasound machines offer way to screen for heart disease M A D ISO N , Wis. — W hat if your doctor could swipe a w and over your neck and reveal w hether you have hidden heart disease?

Chris Kom inczak | Daily Texan Staff STATE & LOCAL BRIEFLY Animal Advisory Commission updates dangerous dog laws The City of Austin's Animal Advisory Com m ission is seeking public input today on proposed changes to the current dangerous d og law. According to the current city ordinance, pet ow ners are prohib­ ited from possessing a d anger­ ous animal. The ordinance allows health authorities to destroy dan­ gerous animals not in compliance. During the com m ission's meet­ ing last Tuesday, new regulations for the ordinance were proposed, including a change on how dogs are declared dangerous. A dog may be declared danger­ ous if it comm its an unprovoked action to "cause an owner of an animal or livestock to reasonably believe that the d o g will attack and cause bodily injury to that owner's animal or livestock," according to the proposal. The new guidelines have raised concerns from several com m u­ nity m em bers about an increased authority given to the city's Animal Control department. The com m ission will host a p ub ­ lic hearing on the dangerous dog proposal b eginning at 6 p.m. today, at the South Austin Recreation Center. State closes West Texas juvenile center; 200 inmates relocated DALLAS — The corrections com ­ pany that lost its contract for running a juvenile prison in West Texas has had problems at other prisons in the state. The state closed the Coke County Juvenile Center last week and canceled its contract with GEO Group Inc., which had operated the prison since 1994. Officials cited an ombudsman's report that described conditions including dirty bed sheets, feces-smeared cells and insects in the food. The center's 200 inmates were moved to other facilities. GEO spokesman Pablo Paez was not available for comment Sunday. — D a v id C a b a ñ e ro — A ssociate d Press By Stephen Keller Daily Texan Staff The rising cost of housing in Austin Tias many residents wor ried about the future of their com­ munities. Austin Housing Pinch host­ ed a discussion about the issue Saturday at Mitchie's Art Gallery on Interstate 35 to hear the con­ cerns of citizens, local activists and city officials. David Kobierowski, founder of Housing Pinch, said many local teachers, nurses and police offi­ cers can no longer afford to live in Austin. "We're slowly losing our com­ munity," Kobierowski said. "It's a definite concern that we have to address." Homeowners make up 50 per­ cent of the city's permanent resi­ dents, 20 percent below the nation­ al average, said MitchelJ Gibbs, spokesman for Austin Habitat for Humanity. According to the 2006 census, 138,851 out of 293,856 total housing units in the city were owner-occupied. The census reported the median housing cost in Austin 2006 was $173,000. In 2004, it was $163,250. Gibbs said the increasing value of land is to blame and that Habitat is slowly being for Humanity priced out of Austin. Susana Almanza, co-director of People Organized in the Defense of Earth and her Resources, or PODER, called on attendees to support city bond funding for the construction of affordable housing. "We have taken on the burdens, but we haven't received the ben­ efits," Almanza said. PODER member Daniel Llanes blamed city council for not sup­ porting enough affordable housing projects. "We need to create a vision. The current system is going to turn the central city into Manhattan," Llanes said. "You really need to get involved. Make a phone call. Write a letter." Austin City Council-woman Jennifer Kim defended the coun­ cil's efforts, saying that it has held a housing summit to hash out issues between developers and housing applicants. Kim said she will host another affordable housing summit on Oct. 25 at the Street-Jones building on East 11th Street. "It is definitely a new day for housing for us," Kim said. "We a a 1 talking about affordability for all levels of income. It is something that affects all of us." Kobierowski organized the event nearly single-handedly and said he hopes students will learn that they can make a difference. "If you just have an idea and have energy, one person can do a lot," Kobierowski said.

This time around, Texas came out on top. In an error-filled match, the No. 7 Longhorns (10-3,5-1 Big 12) outlasted No. 17 Kansas State (13- 5, 5-3) in five games, 3-2 (30-26, 25-30, 30-27, 22-30,15-9). "It was really good to go on the road and get a good win in a tough environment," head coach Jerritt Elliott said. "It was nice to see us play well and at a high level against a quality opponent." Texas' hitters were at their most consistent in the opening game. Hitting at a .414 cúp, the Longhorns were able to reclaim leads after falling behind 5-4 and 18-17, eventually opening up a 23-19 advantage before putting away the Wildcats 30-26. Game two marked the emer­ gence of Texas' error problems and K-State junior outside hitter Nataly Korobkova. Korobkova notched four of her match-high 23 kills. The Longhorns opened the game with three straight errors to dig an early hole, and Korobkova scored one of her match-high 23 kills to put the Wildcats up 14-13 after a Texas rally. Texas would not regain the lead and fittingly ended the match on an attack error by sophomore outside hitter Destinee Hooker, the ninth error of the game. The Longhorns' blocking game three. The highlighted game teams remained within a couple of points throughout, and were tied at 25-25 after consecutive blocks by second-year opposite hitter Ashley Engle and junior middle blocker Lauren Paolini. Paolini, Hooker and freshman outside hitter Juliann Faucette notched kills to lead Texas to the 30-27 win and a 2-1 match advantage. "[Lauren Paolini] is really per­ forming well now that she is back playing her natural position in the middle," Elliott said of the junior's nine-block and .611 hit­ ting performance. Kansas State played their most complete game in the fourth stan­ za, hitting .419 and battling back from being down 10-9 to scoring a 30-22 victory and forcing a deci­ sive game five. Hooker led the Longhorns in the final game, recording two of her team-high 18 kills to push Texas ahead 7-3 and to close out the match. Texas limited the Wildcats to just .043 hitting in their 15-9 win. "We really came up big in the clutch," Elliott said. "I feel like that shows the character of this team." Texas finished with four play­ ers with double-digit kills. Along with Hooker, Faucette posted 15, senior middle blocker Brandy Magee scored 13, and Paolini notched 11. Senior setter Michelle Moriarity's 55 assists and 10 digs gives her a second consecutive double-double. The win is Texas' first against a ranked opponent this year after losing to No. 3 Penn State and No 1 Nebraska earlier, but play­ ing these matches is what makes a team's season. "It is important for us to be put in that situation," Elliott said. "1 feel like it really prepares us for tough situations that we will face further down the road." Tu r n o v e r s h a u n t T e x a s Finley, Orakpo shine in close loss From Daily Texan Staff reports DALLAS — Jermichael Finley is one of the most physically gifted tight ends Texas has ever had. The sophomore showed why Saturday against Oklahoma. Finley went wild on the Sooners in the second quarter of the Red River Rivalry game at the Cotton Bowl, setting records and scoring points during the 28-21 loss. The 6-foot-5 ,240-pound tight end caught three passes across the mid­ dle in the frame and went for 135 yards, including a pair of 50-plus yarders. "[Oklahoma] had a linebacker manned up on me and all I had to do was beat the linebacker, and I knew I could do that," Finley said. "Then the receivers busted their butts and got open, and they left me open down the middle." Finley's 55-yard and 58-yard catches put him in a category all his own. He is now the only Texas tight end to ever have caught two 50-yard passes in a career, let alone a single quarter. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said he switched up his defensive cov­ erage at halftime, and Finley only had one catch after intermission for 14 yards. Finley finished the game with 149 total yards on four caches, giving him the Texas single-game record for receiving yards by a tight end and putting him seventh on the all- time list in that category. There's no doubt Saturday was a career day for Finley. In the end though, the team loss was more important. "The team just went out there and we played our hardest," Finley said. "It was just at the end we just couldn't finish. We just got to look over this and keep on going and keep on rolling." — Ricky Treon Texas failing to force turnovers With Texas' 2-0 defeat in the turn­ over battle, the Longhorns defense hasn't forced a turnover in 10 quar­ ters.

But in overtime, it only took the Texas (9-1-2) offense 45 seconds to slip a goal in the net and earn a 2-1 victory over Nebraska (4-5-3). Off the kickoff, Texas sent the ball deep into Nebraska's attacking third, hoping that Emily Anderson would have the speed to track it down. Anderson was able to catch up to it and force Nebraska to play the ball out of bounds. crossed the ball into the box for a Kelsey Carpenter header, blocked by a Husker defender. Texas' Courtney Gaines found the following loose ball and slipped it into the net for the game- winning golden goal. "I told them most overtime games are won right in the beginning of overtime," Texas head coach Chris Petrucelli said. "It was important for us to establish the tempo of overtime right away." The 2-1 victory gives Texas (9-1-2, 2-0-1 Big 12) a much needed three points in the conference standings and sends Nebraska's (4-5-3, 1-3) losing streak to three. said. "We just needed to keep going at them." Texas controlled the tempo for most of the first half, but seemed to stall during the second with mental errors, including a lapse in focus that resulted in Husker forward Shay Powell find­ ing just enough room in the box for a diving shot that caught Texas goal keeper Dianna Pfenninger off guard. "Our touch let us down a couple of times," Petrucelli said. "And Nebraska is a physical, fast team that made it hard to play. I think part of it was our touch, part of it was the pressure they put us under."

Inexplicably, English wasn't flagged and the Sooners were gifted a free shot at McCoy. And Mack Brown was hat-throwing, arms-waving, jaw-flapping mad. Brown's spirit seemed to carry over to the entire team and, in defeat, the Longhorns looked as good as they've looked in a while. They did it with passion and effort, and it's hard to be critical of them today. Maybe that play didn't spark the whole team, but it certainly fired up left tackle Tony Hills. Ask Hills if the hit was dirty. he says. “No doubt in my mind," Did he say anything to English about it? “Next question," he says. Did he do something about it? "Watch the film," he says. "You'll see it." You'll also see Texas defenders flying around the field and gang tackling. You'll see Quan Cosby finish just about every punt and kick return with a final cut, hurdle or lowered shoulder. If the Longhorns can bottle up whatever they found in the Cotton Bowl and release it for every remaining game this season, they won't lose again. Ironically, for the first time this season, Texas played like a Top 25 team, and now they've dropped to No. 23 in the poll. The trouble is, no chemist in the world can come up with the formula combining inspiration, practice, fun and countless other ingredients in the proper measure that it takes to produce a united, motivated team. Texas coaches have to relearn every week how to get the best performance out of their athletes, and the players have to consciously endeavor to let the message take hold. They did it this week, and could have beat the Sooners if the ball bounced a different way here or deflected at a different angle there. They didn't. Texas lost their fourth-consecutive Big 12 game, but it felt different. The team is 0-2 in confer­ ence for the first time since before Darrell K Royal came to tire 40 Acres, but it feels like Brown's boys turned a comer. "I told our guys that this is the effort we have been looking for since the season started," he said. "We weren't proud that we lost today, but we were proud of the effort." His assessment sounds fair to me.

Tournament By Josh Hand Daily Texan Staff The UT women's golf team shot an 11-over 299 on Sunday to finish in 16th place at the Lady Tar Heel Invitational at Chapel Hill, NC. The team was hoping for a better finish at the 18-team event after finishing tied for third place in their previous tournament. "I'm disappointed w ith where we finished," said head coach Martha Richards. "We d id n 't play very well. We're more talented than our scores showed." Sunday represented the Longhorns' best round of the tournam ent. The team carded an 18-over 306 and a 19-over 307 during the tournam ent's first two rounds on Friday and respectively. The Saturday, strong finish on Sunday is what most impressed Richards. "It was to be expected," she said. "We're capable of play­ ing this way consistently. If we shoot this round all three days, we finish in the top 10." Duke finished first over­ all with a collective 13 over par and was led by Amanda Blumenherst, the tournament's individual finisher at top 7 under par. The Big 12 was also represented in the event by Texas A&M's eighth place (+28) and Oklahoma State's 10th place (+35) finishes. Senior Ashley Rollins rebounded from a tough first day to end up with a solid overall performance. After Friday's 7-over, she improved each day and posted UT's best individual round of the tourna­ ment with Sunday's 1-under score. Rollins finished with a combined 9-over 225 to tie for 35th place overall. "Ashley did a good job," said Richards. "M inus four holes in the first round, she really had a solid tournam ent. She played a lot of really good golf." Junior Caney Hines also impressed her coach by post­ ing her best round o n the final day. Entering the day with a two-round total of plus-10 that included three double bogeys, Hines scored a 2-over 74, good for a combined 12-over 228 and a tie for 50th place indi­ vidually. "I'm really proud of Caney. She got off to a rough start and just kept fighting," Richards said. Sophomore Shannon Fish finished with a 13-over 229 and junior Kristin Walla and senior Julia Best each posted an 18- over 234 to wrap up the scor­ ing for Texas. Richards is proud of her team 's effort but expects better results on the scorecard. "We've got a pretty good group of fighters," she said. "I'm pleased with a lot of the things we did. But we've got to step it up if we want to play and compete with the big boys, which I think we're tal­ ented enough to do." The head coach said the Longhorns' poor start, includ­ ing having to make an adjust­ ment for a light rain late in their round on Friday, is what hurt the team the most. "For whatever reason, our focus and intensity w eren't there at the start of the first two days. We've got to be ready to play every time we tee it up," she said. any favors The course d id n 't do the team either. Richards said the par 72 6,285- yard UNC Finley Golf Course is among the most difficult in the nation. "This is a very difficult, NCAA C ham pionship-level course," she said. "This was a great test. We found out some of our weaknesses and look forward to learning from them and improving."

Nebraska managed to keep both in check throughout the game by having their forwards sit back. "Nebraska was sitting higher so the [back line] had to stay with them," Gaines said. The win comes only two days after Texas battled to a 1-1 dou­ ble overtime draw with Iowa State on the road. Texas put up 20 shots to the Cyclones' five during that contest, but could only manage to squeak out one goal off of a Gaines comer kick that went directly into the net thanks to an extra boost from the wind. The Texas offense struggled to find a way past freshman goal keeper and reigning Big 12 defensive player of the year Ann Gleason, who held the Longhorns in check with seven saves. "In the end, we just didn't fin­ ish any of the quality chances we created," Petrucelli said. "When we had chances to finish, we weren't clean enough. We didn't take care of the moments." CHARLES: Texas never mounts serious threat after turnover From p agelB be scoring runs. Though the touchdown the Longhorns thought he'd reeled in for them would've put the Longhorns ahead and perhaps left the game in a tie at the end o f regulation, the Longhorns didn't look at the play as a turn­ ing point in the 28-21 loss. "We definitely don't want to make excuses," receiver Quan Cosby said. "It breaks our heart for him, but he still went out there and continued to fight. It was huge, but it was so early I don't think it was any game- changing play." Unfortunately for Charles, his turnover woes didn't stop there. Charles tipped a pass during Texas' first drive of the fourth quarter and Oklahoma comer- back Reggie Smith grabbed the pick, ending another Longhorn drive. Rather than having slippery hands, Charles' second drive- stopping miscue was a big mis- communication between him and quarterback Colt McCoy. "I thought I had a good chance to get the ball, but I thought that he was throwing to Quan," Charles said. "I may The have jumped in the way, but I should have caught the ball." interception came in Oklahoma territory as Texas was attempting to tie the game at 28- 28, and Texas never mounted a serious threat after the intercep­ tion. "I don't know if that was the biggest play of the game, but it definitely stalled us," McCoy said. "And those things can't happen." Texas lost the turnover bat­ tle for the second-consecutive game, which also happens to be the Longhorns' second-consecu­ tive loss. Charles was involved with both giveaways on Saturday, but his teammates' confidence in him remains as solid as ever. "We're going to stand behind him because that's our guy and he is our running back," cor- nerback Ryan Palmer said. "We love him to death and we're behind him. Things happen in football games. "It doesn't kill our team, it just kills Jamaal. He works on hold­ ing the ball all the time and he is just going through a tough time of holding the ball right now. I know he is going to keep his head up high and I know he's going to be fine." By Kristie Rieken The Associated Press HOUSTON — Kris Brown didn't let one bad foot ruin what the other one could do. Brown kicked five field goals, including the winner on a career- long 57-yarder with a second remaining, to lead the Texans to a 22-19 victory over the Dolphins (0-5), losers of eight straight. Brown tied an NFL single-game record with three makes over 50 yards. He hit two 54-yarders earli­ er in the game. No one had kicked one longer than 53 yards in the NFL this season. Brown hurt the heel of his left foot on Houston's first kickoff and got an injection for the pain at ha If time. The Dolphins are off to their worst start since losing the first six to open the 2004 season. Things could get worse after quarterback Trent Green suffered a concussion trying to block. He went to a hospi­ tal for observation but returned to the stadium after the game. He was injured when defensive tackle Travis Johnson hit him in the head with his knee. After the play, Johnson stood over Green and taunted him, drawing a 15- yard penalty. Johnson said he apologized to coach Gary Kubiak for the penalty during the game, but contrition wasn't on his mind afterward. The 315-pound Johnson went on an expletive-laced rant in the locker room, apparently because he didn't like the low block Green threw. Johnson was escorted back to the locker room about 20 minutes after the tirade to issue an apology, but still seemed more upset about the penalty itself than his reaction to the hit. On the winning drive, the Texans (3-2) got the ball at their 3-yard line and Matt Schaub completed 4 of 5 passes to set up the kick. With less than two minutes to go, the Dolphins lined up for what would have been a 56-yard field goal attempt, but instead called a timeout and punted. Schaub fumbled and threw an interception, and the Texans couldn't finish drives all day, instead relying on Brown's leg. He also hit from 43 and 20 yards. Brown helped the Texans break a two-game losing streak and avoid being beaten by a second straight winless opponent after last week's loss to Atlanta. The victory gives Houston its first winning record after five games in franchise history. Schaub was 20-of-34 for 294 yards. His 24-yard pass to Owen Daniels got Houston to the 4-yard line midway through the fourth quarter. But the Texans settled for another field goal that tied it at 19-all after a 2-yard gain by Ron Dayne and two incomplete passes. Jay Feely's 48-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter had put Miami back on top at 19-16. Ronnie Brown had 23 carries for 114 yards to become just the second player in Dolphins history with 100 yards rushing in three straight games. Ricky Williams did it three times.

I doubt it. Hardly anyone was giving the Longhorns a chance to even make it respectable. Well they showed up, and they looked good. When it was all over, most of the players asked said had they thought Texas It's a funny thing to say in defeat, but it was true. What remains to be seen is whether or not the Longhorns can do this on a week-in week-out basis. They've been anything but consistent this year. If they can tap into that enigmatic reservoir of gut and gumption that fueled them in Dallas, Brown will have yet another 10-win season. If they lose focus and produce sporadically, there's no telling what could happen. The season has reached a piv­ otal point already, and only the players can determine where the Longhorns go from here. In one direction lies the heights Texas has grown accustomed to. In the other, only disappointment and the Insight Bowl await.

D a ily le xanO nh ne.com classifieds Monday, October 8,2007 L I F E & A R T S 7B October brings crowd-pleasing movies By Alex Regnery Daily Texan Columnist The prestige films pretty much came out last month thanks to early releases at events such as the Toronto Film Festival. October seems to offer a nice mixture of Oscar contenders and standard crowd pleasers. So to get your calendars all planned out and schedules in order, here are four upcoming films that could make you laugh, cry or alternately rip your eyes out. 'The Heartbreak Kid' The Farrelly Brothers really must buy into the law of dimin­ ishing returns. Each time out behind the camera, their mov­ ies get less and less funny. They really hit their peak with "Dumb and Dumber" and "There's Something About Mary." They were the fathers of gross-out humor. Then came "Me, Myself & Irene," and "Shallow Hal" and "Stuck On You." "The Heartbreak Kid," which is a remake of the Elaine May- Neil Simon comedy of the 70s, again teams the Farrellys with "M ary" star Ben Stiller. Stiller plays a man who falls head over heels in love with "the perfect woman" (Malin Akerman) only to find out that she's a disgusting and truly abhorrent human being on their honeymoon. He falls for Michelle Monaghan (and really, who wouldn't) so he's faced with the decision to immediately ditch the psycho or to stick with her "till death do they part." One strike already against the film: Carlos Mencia is in it. Here's hoping the Farrellys can make this film work and get back to their heyday, but its dismal open­ ing weekend makes that possibil­ ity unlikely. (Oct. 5) 'Sleuth' Yet another remake, but this one prides itself solely on the BRAMHALL: Heavy guitar styles mixed with blues From page 8B Waterloo Records Friday to com m em orate the release of his new album , Is It News?, should be remembered as far more than just a footnote in the history of A ustin's favor­ ite guitar god. Born in west Dallas in 1949, Bramhall grew up in a m usi­ cal family surrounded by the blues, influences he internal­ ized when he uprooted and came to Austin, playing in a succession of popular local blues groups in the 60s and 70s. B ram hall has rem ained m obile ever since — play- ing w ith both Stevie Ray V aughan and his old er brother Jim m ie, serving a short stint as M arcia B all's record ing w ith drum m er, L ig h tn in ' H o p k in s, and putting out a series of solo album s. a His first album since 2003's Fitchburg Street, Is It News? finds Bramhall in a freshly energized mood. Fitchburg Street, tribu te-orien ted affair, used mellow grooves and exhibited an overall laid- back atm osphere. Is It News?, by contrast, is a far more rock -cen tric outin g, w ith heavier usage of guitars and more angsty, gritty vocals, as on the old-school rocker "B ig ." Although there are slow er m om ents, am ong them the title track, Is It News? is a harder, and m ore en th u si­ than any of astic, effort solo B ram h all's previou s albums. It's also, at long last, an album of all original material, a long overdue developm ent for a bluesman best known for his im peccable songwrit- ing skills. And, d esp ite its harder sound, it's a fundam entally upbeat, affirm ing m ixture of m ultiple blues and rock sty 1- ings, m aking it the stron ­ gest album yet by an already accom plished player. On Is It News?, Bram hall com es into his own as never before, proving once again that he has the skill and the soul to stand alongside Texas' blues' greats. — Patrick Caldwell FIDDLE: Sisters release latest album on own record label From page8B learned on the job. sisters begin lessons together, learning Texas fiddling tech­ niques and western swing. Their talent and dedication im m ediately apparent, all is three winning state and national championships. The M cKenzies nurture the sisters' musical growth by expos­ ing them to numerous CDs and LPs from their vast collection of old-time and contemporary music. Their first foray into three- part fiddle playing began with none other than Bob Willis' clas­ sic "Faded Love." One day, the fiddle teacher gets a call to provide some music at an event and decides that the sisters are a perfect fit, and since that first outing, the phone just keeps ringing. to They begin form ally rehearse, to build up a reper­ toire, a tour and a record, to make a name for themselves, and to take up singing three— part vocal harmony along the way. perform ance Seven years, countless shows and a couple of albums later, resum e their includes New York's Carnegie Hall and the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the country's oldest active folk festival. Everything for the band has been done in-house. From Bob Wills' songs to Duke Ellington standards to fiery breakdown fiddle tunes, all of the fiddle and vocal arrangements are done by teacher and guitar player Joey McKenzie. McKenzie also put down his fiddle to accompany the sisters on guitar, a necessary accoutrement of old-time swing style. All of their bookings and sum­ mer tours have been done by Sherry McKenzie, a role that she latest Their album was released on their own record label, records, despite solid offers from estab­ lished record labels. Fiddle-tone "We just wanted to estab­ lish our own sound and our own direction," says McKenzie. Part of this was the addition of ace North Texas bassist Drew Phelps. The independent mindset comes through clearest in the varied selection of songs on their latest release, Timeless, which includes songs ranging from jazz standards to coun­ try gospel, from fiddle tunes to cowboy tunes. b an d 's Despite the varied repertoire, the constants on the album are impeccable m usicianship, pre­ cise three-part harmony and a dedication to carry on a great fiddling. tradition of Texas According to McKenzie, "So far, we're just having a blast." representation "We recorded the CD as an accurate of the band now, like one of our show s," remarked Grace Quebe about recording both of their albums and anvthing in the future. No bells and w histles, no added m usicians or overdubs and no digital recording, Timeless was recorded analog at the Cash Cabin Studio on Johnny Cash's estate in Tennessee. "It was a w onderful atm o­ sphere for recording, very com ­ fortable," reminisced McKenzie. "W hen you finish recording, you step out the door and there's deer out there and all kinds of critters." When the Quebe Sisters Band hit the stage at Threadgill's, fans were transported into the utopic past of up-beat tempos, beauti­ ful harmony and huge helpings of Texas fiddling. "Sleuth's" Michael Caine and Jude Law at its New York premiere. talent film 's involved. The poster features four last names, Caine, Law, Pinter and Bragnah. Nobel Prize w inning screen­ w riter Harold Pinter has taken on the task to adapt Anthony Shaffer's original play-turned- film. In a role originated by Michael Caine, Jude Law plays M ilo Tindle, a struggling actor who happens to have stolen the heart of the wife of mystery author Andrew Wyke (Caine). Over the course of one eve­ ning together, Tindle and Wyke match wits and play mind games with one another. The original is a fantastic, intense puzzle box of a film, and, hope­ fully with the talent involved, the remake will be so also. (Oct. 12, limited) '30 Days of Night* 'Gone Baby Gone' Just in time for the Halloween season comes a really awesome— sounding flick. "30 Days of Night" is based on the graphic novel by Steve Niles and tells the tale of an Alaskan town that plunges into darkness for 30 days each year. During those 30 days, vampires come and feast on the helpless town. It's up to town sheriff Josh Hartnett and a rag-tag band of survivors to take down the blood­ thirsty gang of vampires, led by wonderful character-actor Danny Huston. Directed by David Slade, who made the fantastically shot, morally corrupt "Hard Candy," "30 Days of Night" should make for a fun popcorn flick that sat­ isfies even the hardest of gore- hounds. (Oct. 19) I'm going to throw this out there. If you want it, take it, if not, throw it right back. I'm a fan of Ben Affleck. I think the guy has made some bad film cho'ces, but he's a funny, affable guy who I always root for. For this reason, I hold nothing but high hopes for his directorial debut, "Gone Baby Gone." Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, the film stars brother Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan as a pair of private detectives out to find a missing 4-year-old girl. Also starring Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris, the film is already receiving good buzz, which is all I can hope for so that Ben Affleck stops getting beaten up among film geeks.

Since their first gig in 2000, they've added musical layers, recorded two CDs and landed on both coasts, Canada, and all around Texas. This weekend, they found themselves temporarily nested here in Austin with radio appearances on KVET on Thursday morning and on KUT on Saturday at noon, two gigs in "A Ride with Bob" at the Paramount with Austin's Asleep at the Wheel, and a CD release at Threadgill's on Saturday evening.

Donatella clones of the world rejoice, with plenty of sexy silk and jersey shifts and separates, the spring collection did not disappoint.
