Rick PerryÕs campaign has revived previously disproved claims that Hous¥ton is a sanctuary city, arguing that im¥migration policies led to the death of a Houston police officer. The Perry campaign has launched a new ad airing around the state that features Joslyn Johnson, the widow of Rodney Johnson, claiming Bill White supported policies that prevented law enforcement from catching Juan Leon¥ardo Quintero, the illegal immigrant who shot her husband, before he com¥mitted the crime. ÒIn the past, Bill White supported sanctuary city policies that made it dif¥ficult for officers to safely do their jobs,Ó said Johnson in the ad. The assertion that Houston was a sanctuary city or that White supported such policies simply isnÕt true, accord¥ing to the Austin American-StatesmanÕs PolitiFact Texas, who rated the claim as false in February. While there is no le¥gal definition of what a sanctuary city is, it generally refers to municipalities that have passed resolutions or laws re¥stricting local law enforcement from co¥operating with federal immigration of¥ficials. ÒHouston is not a sanctuary city,Ó said Houston Mayor Annise Parker in a March interview with the Statesman.

BOARD continues on page 2 UT faculty want say in budget planning By Collin Eaton Daily Texan Staff As shrinking financial resources force college deans to cut back on personnel and other expenses, UTÕs Faculty Council is pressing for greater faculty involve¥ment in budgetary decision-making. Currently, everything from 2-percent merit-based raises and long-term direction for colleges is essential¥ly determined by the deans. During MondayÕs Facul¥ty Council meeting, computer science professor Alan Cline said he remembers 25 years ago when the facul¥ty budget council in his college had the right to sign off on faculty salaries and make an impact on the bud¥get. For the past few years, he said he hasnÕt even seen a budget for his department, though he canÕt remem¥ber giving up that authority to the chair of his depart¥ment. ÒNowadays, there is no participation or any sign¥ing of anything,Ó Cline said. ÒI guess IÕd like the pro¥cess to guarantee that somehow decisions from the faculty will determine how they deal with [the bud¥get], as opposed to administrators telling faculty how to deal with it.Ó Since the 1994-95 academic year, deans and the pro¥vost work together on budget planning and manage¥ment under the Dean/Provost Academic Core plan¥ning process. The process uses a five-year plan to ful¥fill the long-term priorities of colleges. Each college determines the point that faculty can contribute to the planning process. For instance, the College of Liberal Arts has a Budget Council that sends recommenda¥tions to the dean regarding the college budget.

Clement and Julia Rocchi, online content pro¥viders for the National Trust for Historic Preser¥vation, made a stop at the Renaissance Market on 23rd and Guadalupe streets on Monday to film in¥terviews for their ÒAustin UnscriptedÓ project. The project aims to capture what makes the city unique for Austinites and what elements of the cityÕs cultural heritage should be preserved. Clement graduated from UT in 2004 with a de¥gree in advertising and considers himself an Aus¥tinite. He said the city was a perfect place to see if a social media project would be effective at reach¥ing the community. ÒIf it didnÕt work in Austin, it wouldnÕt work anywhere else,Ó Clement said.

TODAYÕS WEATHER LowHigh 6385 Three..ÓanimalsÓ? BUDGET: DeansÕ exclusion abets employeesÕ concern From page 1 Janet Staiger, a radio-television¥film professor and past chair of the council, said as far as she knows, there is no faculty discussion of the budget in her department. During MondayÕs discussion, Staiger asked Steven Leslie, UT provost and exec¥utive vice president, what instruc¥tions he has given to deans and de¥partment chairs to involve faculty in budgetary decisions. Leslie re¥sponded that he has not given any instructions to individual colleges to involve faculty. ÒWhat IÕve asked the deans to do at this point is to work at the deanÕs level through a budget-planning process so we can get started on de¥termining what the schoolÕs priori¥ties are,Ó Leslie said. Faculty Council Chairman Dean Neikirk, an electrical and comput¥er engineering professor, present¥ed several suggestions from coun¥cil committees about ways the fac¥ulty would like to see the Univer¥sity allocate resources. The Faculty Welfare Committee proposed mon¥itoring the rights of nontenured fac¥ulty and making changes to ben¥efits for UT employees and retir¥ees. The Faculty Building Adviso¥ry Committee suggested under¥taking a new Campus Master Plan in which there would be a techni¥cal assessment of electrical pow¥er, storm drains, sewers and other building features. The council also passed a res¥olution of guiding principles that make up the councilÕs consen¥sus view on the budget Ñ post¥poning new construction projects Students share funding, stances with Democrats By Nick Mehendale Daily Texan Staff The Democrats are greatly out¥pacing Republicans in contribu¥tions from college students this election cycle, according to a re¥cent report from a government watchdog group. The Democratic National Committee has raised $428,600 Ñ more than 20 times their Re¥publican counterpart, the Repub¥lican National Committee, which only raised $18,400. The Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington, D.C.¥based research group, made the list by analyzing Federal Election Commission filings in which the donor listed their oc¥cupation as student. ÒThis is distinct to this partic¥ular time,Ó said Daron Shaw, an associate government professor. ÒTo be quite honest, college stu¥dents donÕt usually keep up with politics. They tend [to] respond to the loudest and most prevail¥ing political wind.Ó Shaw said it is up in the air as to whether this trend will remain in years to come. ÒRecruiting and voting for col¥lege students is very difficult,Ó he said. ÒItÕs not sure theyÕll vote, and if they do, itÕs not sure how theyÕll vote. Having appealing top-level party members Ñ such as Obama and, to a lesser extent, Hillary Clinton Ñ have helped the Democrats.Ó Young votersÕ current liber¥al stances on social and religious issues are not going to help Re¥publican candidates in upcom¥ing elections, Shaw said. ÒThe upcoming generation will be very influenced to how successful ObamaÕs econom¥ic policies are,Ó he said. ÒRe¥publicans might have to wait for a political environmen¥tal change to occur. Students these days tend to be more so¥cially progressive and less tra¥ditionally religious.Ó Many of the largest donors in the report are related to oth¥er large political donors. Al¥exander Soros, who held the top spot on the list, has donat¥ed $73,800 for Democrats this election cycle. He is the son of billionaire George Soros, who has been one of the DemocratsÕ largest contributors. Cameron Miculka, spokesman for the University Democrats, said the DemocratsÕ stance on ed¥ucation plays a large part in the contributions from students.

Gang violence kills 13 at rehab center in Tijuana By Mariana Martinez The Associated Press TIJUANA, Mexico Ñ Armed men burst into a drug rehab cen¥ter in the Mexican border city of Tijuana and police said at least 10 people were killed in a city where officials had been celebrating a seeming drop in drug gang terror. A client at the center and local me¥dia reports Monday put the num¥ber of deaths at 13. A witness, who asked to be identified only by his first name, Jesus, for fear of reprisals, said he had stepped out when the at¥tacked occurred late Sunday. When he returned, other clients told him the attackers made the addicts lie on the floor, and then sprayed them with bullets. Such attacks have killed doz¥ens of recovering addicts in Ciu¥dad Juarez, and a voice was heard over a police radio frequency say¥ing Òthis is a taste of Juarez.Ó Just two weeks ago, President Felipe Calderon touted Tijuana as a success story in his nearly four¥year-old drug war, noting during a festival to promote the cityÕs in¥dustries that homicides are down from a peak in 2008. Since his visit, drug gangs have resumed gruesome tactics not seen in Tijuana for months, be¥heading rivals and hanging bod¥ies from bridges. Some residents have expressed fear that the car¥tels are deliberately intensifying the violence to undermine Calde¥ronÕs message. The attack also comes about week after the governmentÕs re¥cord Oct. 18 seizure of 148 tons of marijuana in Tijuana. Nationwide, more than 28,000 people have been killed in drug gang violence since December 2006, when Calderon deployed soldiers to battle the cartels in their strongholds in northern Mexico.

What wasnÕt mentioned in that particu¥lar story, however, was that the 100,000 fans stream¥ing into Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium also have a weighty environmental impact. UT foot¥ball already sponsors Longhorn Recycling Round¥up, a program which encourages fans to recycle and has already accounted for 4.88 tons of recycled plas¥tic this year. UT is also participating in the Game Day Challenge, a program sponsored by the Environmen¥tal Protection Agency, in which 87 schools compete to see who can recycle the most. Some schools are stepping up to do more, though. On Saturday, the University of Houston and South¥ern Methodist University played the first Òcarbon¥neutralÓ college football game in Texas. SMU pur¥chased renewable energy and carbon credits to help offset the Òcarbon footprintÓ produced by traveling teams, bands, fans and the electricity used at the sta¥dium. The game, which SMU lost 20-45, was part of a University-wide homecoming weekend that also included a used shoe drive and homecoming floats made from reusable materials. College footballÕs popularity lends itself to pro¥moting important causes such as environmentalism and sustainability. Harnessing school pride for recy¥cling doesnÕt just save a few hundred pounds of alu¥minum cans; it also reinforces good habits that fans can continue at home during the week. On a side note, Iowa State University is also partic¥ipating in the Game Day Challenge. If we canÕt beat them, maybe we can out-recycle them. Overview: Too soon to tell Up to this point, sailing has been smooth in the three months after federal legislation governing stu¥dent loan reform took effect. Over the summer, the previous system of Family Federal Education Loan Program, which featured private banks, was re¥placed by a direct loan program managed by the fed¥eral government. When the new program, known as the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, first debuted, crit¥ics were quick to attack it as an unacceptable expan¥sion of government oversight. Armageddon-esque predictions were made forecasting the collapse of the student loan industry amid higher interest rates and a sea of bureaucratic red tape from Washington. While a byzantine loan system could still be in the making, the initial transition period has been rela¥tively incident-free. While it will take a couple years to develop a more complete picture of the overall effectiveness of the new program, the primary factor behind the pro¥gramÕs success will be jobs. Unemployment is espe¥cially high for young people and recent grads who have trouble finding work, and they will be much more prone to default on their student loan debts. The student loan default rate rose to 7 percent nation¥wide last month, and according to a Ò60 MinutesÓ re¥port this past week, 20 percent of unemployed Amer¥icans hold a college degree. Jobs and the economy will continue to be the most pressing issues for many voters in next weekÕs election and the coming months. ItÕs important for those interested in issues of higher education to rec¥ognize the overarching status that the jobs issue holds in our political discourse. If unemployment among college graduates persists, then the financial burden of student loan defaults will cause whatever system is in place to be ineffective. As a student body, we need to push our elect¥ed officials to provide concrete answers on how they plan to foster job growth among recent college grads, both for those of us about to graduate and enter the workforce, and for the long-term viability of our nationÕs universities. THE FIRING LINE A pointed protest Thank you for covering the protest of the Texans For Israel event this past Monday night. Community activists, the Palestinian Solidarity Committee and International Socialist Organization members raised awareness about the distortion of information regarding Israeli state terror¥ ism in the Palestinian Occupied Territories. Mr. Bedein depicted Sderot and Israel as hapless vic¥ tims of the conflict. He neglected to mention that, while BÕTselem records 10 Israeli deaths from rockets in Sderot since 2000, 4,791 Palestinians have been killed in that same time. Left unaddressed are the IDFÕs brutal killings of 1,377 Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead (749 civilians, 339 children), in contrast to 13 Israeli casualties. Also omit¥ ted were more than 3,000 Palestinian homes destroyed and over 20,000 damaged which have not been rebuilt. Bedein failed to discuss the IDFÕs use of white phosphorus artillery on civilians, bombings of schools and hospitals, systematic firing on ambulances and use of Palestinians as human shields. Also absent from the conversation was the continuing blockade on Gaza, the 375 Gazan civilians dead since January of 2009 due to blocking of medical supplies and prevention of medical care, the 70 percent of medicines donated for Gaza dumped after expiring after being held at the border by Israel. Bedein ignores repressive Israeli state policies, rather citing the ÒterroristÓ nature of Hamas and Iran. This red herring tactic deflects responsibility from the true source: the Israeli Occupation and blockade. As for Noah JaffeÕs perplexing comments, I spoke with him and another student civilly and extensively after the presentation. I attempted to speak with other attendees, who declined to speak with me. Portraying pro-Palestinian activists as unreasonable is part of an attempt to portray support for Palestine as discriminatory, self-satisfying or misinformed, as shown in letters by Ben Freed and Sam Ellison. Regarding EllisonÕs comments about solutions, none have been achieved because all attempts ignore the root cause: the systematic racism and violence of the Israeli Occupation and blockade. Ñ Jessica Martin International Socialist Organization - Austin GALLERY Reverse the trend; Hook the Vote By Jimmy Talarico Daily Texan Guest Columnist As of Oct. 23 approximately 2,525 early votes had been cast at the Flawn Academic Center for the midterm elections. At this point in 2008, approximately 9,077 early votes had been cast at the FAC. Although this yearÕs number is higher than the early vote total at this point during the 2006 midterm elections, a significant number of UT students who vot¥ed in 2008 have not yet voted in 2010. As a campus and as a community, we must reverse this trend. Two years ago, our generation mobilized in unprecedented numbers to take ownership of our democratic process. We experienced a col¥lective political awakening and our electoral muscle was flexed in races across the country. But today, the news trucks have packed up, the bright lights have faded and the glamour is gone. All thatÕs left is our quiet democracy: still as important and still as necessary. Voting is a uniquely American experience that binds us together. ThereÕs a magic to the process of speaking up and being heard. You can be a Republican, a Democrat, a Moderate, a Libertarian, a Communist, a So¥cialist or an Independent, but you cannot be apathetic. At the voting booth, we are each presented with a chance to evaluate the way the world is and determine the way the world ought to be. Our democracyÕs potential re¥mains unfulfilled with each decision to stay home, each forgotten vote and each uncon¥vincing excuse. Yes, voter registration laws can be less than enfranchising. Yes, candidates can be less than engaging. And yes, our political systems can be less than empowering. But in a democracy, the buck stops with us: the voters. In 2008, I had the privilege of working with a group of imaginative student leaders to cre¥ate the Hook the Vote campaign: a biparti¥san coalition of student organizations dedicat¥ed to engaging UT students in the democrat¥ic process through voter registration, educa¥tion and mobilization. Over the past two elec¥tion cycles, Hook the Vote has grown to be¥come one of the most successful get-out-the¥vote programs in UTÕs history. Earlier this month, Hook the Vote 2010 suc¥cessfully registered more than 5,000 students to vote in less than 14 hours through a cam¥pus-wide voter registration drive and free concert. Overall, Hook the Vote 2010 regis¥tered more than 6,000 students, distributed 22,000 registration cards in student residential neighborhoods, and worked with UTÕs Divi¥sion of Housing and Food Service to distrib¥ute 8,000 registration cards in the UniversityÕs residence halls. In the coming days, Hook the Vote 2010 will host a variety of events designed to in¥crease awareness and voter turnout, includ¥ing a policy debate between College Republi¥cans and University Democrats, a phonebank to call students registered during our regis¥tration drive, a ÒTrick or VoteÓ rally on the last day to vote early, and an Election Night Watch Party co-hosted with UTÕs Department of Government. Hook the Vote and countless student activ¥ists have worked tirelessly to give you the re¥sources; now the rest is up to you. Students in our country have a proud heri¥tage of creating change. From ending a war in the Far East to carrying the banner of freedom to the Deep South, students have rejected the world as it has been presented to them Ñ in favor of the world as it ought to be presented to their children. I have every confidence that our campus will rise to the challenge and prove that Nov. 4, 2008 was the beginning of a youth move¥ment, not the end of one. I know my Univer¥sity and I know my peers; I know we possess the knowledge, talents and potential to make a real difference in our world. Hook the Vote. Talarico is the founder and director of Hook the Vote. The right to serve By Charlie Saginaw Daily Texan Columnist The debate over ÒdonÕt ask donÕt tellÓ is not just a national problem of equality; itÕs also a local one. After five years of service, the United States Navy discharged Omar Lopez for Òhomosexual admissionÓ three months be¥fore his contract expired. Now, with a Cal¥ifornia court order putting DADT in legal limbo, Lopez, a 29-year-old ACC student, walked into the military recruitment center in the Dobie Mall to re-enlist and challenge the ban last Tuesday. However, the mili¥tary recruiter still turned him away. In this strange paradox, a military that is fighting to preserve democracy in Afghanistan con¥tinues to discriminate against a soldier on the basis of sexual orientation. On Sept. 9, California District Judge Virgin¥ia Phillips barred the military from enforcing the 1993 law that excludes openly gay peo¥ple from serving. However, last Wednesday, a San Francisco-based U.S. Court of Appeals suspended the lower-courtÕs injunction on the DADT policy. After joining the Navy in March 2002, Lo¥pez became a culinary specialist in Norfolk, VA, and then served aboard a ship, the USS Carr, cooking and managing the galley, ac¥cording to the Austin American-Statesman. Despite his history of faithful service, the government seems more willing to give a convicted felon a gun than to give this gay man a spatula. While LopezÕs honorable discharge allows him to claim the benefits of the GI bill, it prevents him from pursuing his life dream: a career in military service. After spending a year in Miami, Lopez moved to Austin three years ago and enrolled at ACC where he became a full-time student and a mentor to first-year students. Lopez told the States¥man on the ACC Rio Grand Campus, ÒItÕs who I am. ThatÕs why IÕm trying to go back, so I can finish what I started and give back to the community. IÕm a sailor, and a sail¥or for life.Ó The barriers that keep Lopez from serv¥ing his country represent one more symp¥tom of our national Ñ and local Ñ pathol¥ogy of rejecting the GLBT communityÕs civ¥il rights. Even on the Forty Acres, the UT ad¥ministration hesitates to provide domestic partner benefits to queer faculty. With GLBT employees who earn $80,000 annually receiv¥ing $8,000 less in benefits than their straight counterparts, UT must also come to terms with equality Ñ regardless of sexual orien¥tation. Just as the military needs to reconcile its relationship with the gay community, UT also needs to re-evaluate its policies toward the queer community. Some in the military and conservative community argue that the repeal of DADT will become bogged down in logistics. One returning veteran from Afghanistan who now resides in Austin explained that, while he supports the integration of homosexuals in theory, the socially-conservative reality would require sensitivity training for all per¥sonnel and would result in an increase of an¥ti-homosexual acts. Ironically, former Arizo¥na Sen. Barry Goldwater, known in the 1960s as ÒMr. Conservative,Ó thought quite differ¥ently about homosexuals in the military: ÒI donÕt care if they are gay or straight, as long as they can shoot straight.Ó Despite the challenges that full integra¥tion of gays into the military will pose, the U.S. military had overcome a similar situa¥tion 62 years prior. After centuries of racial segregation and bigotry in the armed forc¥es, on July 26, 1948, President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981 integrating Af¥rican-Americans into the military and man¥dating equality of treatment and opportuni¥ty. That act provided the blueprint for the in¥tegration of blacks and whites for the rest of the 20th-century American. Perhaps, less than 60 years from now, we will also look back at the debate surrounding DADT and realize the injustice of depriving gays their right to serve their country. May¥be one day soldiers like Omar may enjoy the freedom to pursue their desired career. Saginaw is a history junior.

NEWS Tuesday, October 26, 2010 Service rouses kinship, reflection By Lauren Giudice Daily Texan Staff Friends came together to cel¥ebrate the life of James Roach, a former government professor who taught at UT for 45 years, on Thursday in the UniversityÕs Main Building. A World War II veteran and a cultural diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, Roach died on Aug. 5. He directed the Plan II honors program from 1965 to 1969 and re¥ceived the Pro Bene Meritis award in 1993 for outstanding contribu¥tions to liberal arts at UT. In 2000, theUTBoardofRegentsestablished in RoachÕs honor an endowed pres¥idential scholarship, the James. R. Roach Endowed Fund in Ameri¥can Foreign Relations. Bob Hardgrave, a retired govern¥ment professor, said RoachÕs legacy is his dedication to his students. ÒHe was a man who was deep¥ly committed to teaching,Ó Hard¥grave said. ÒI canÕt think of any¥one IÕve ever known who has had a greater impact through teaching on his students.Ó While he was an undergraduate, Hardgrave took a course of RoachÕs and eventually returned to UT to be¥came RoachÕs colleague and friend. ÒHis course led me to pursue a career in academic life as a profes¥sor,Ó Hardgrave said. Hardgrave was impressed that Roach kept in touch with many of his students and wrote letters to them. At the memorial, government professor emeritus Karl Schmitt said when he was new at UT, he felt overwhelmed as a new profes¥sor. Roach advised him just to stay a couple chapters ahead of the stu¥dents, he said. ÒHe didnÕt tell me how to teach Ñ he encouraged me,Ó Schmitt said. Roach, who was abroad often, encouraged Schmitt to see the world, eventually traveling on va¥cation to India with his wife. ÒHe helped me expand my view of the world,Ó Schmitt said. Terri Webb Jonas, whose fa¥ther was a professor emeritus and worked with Roach, said he was often at her house when she was growing up. She recited a poem she wrote af¥ter his death called ÒIndian Jim,Ó in which she described how she imagined Roach travelling in In¥dia and throughout Asia. At the ceremony, government professor John Higley said Roach had a strong attachment to Austra¥lia, reading a testament from Ross Terrill, a former professor from UT who is from Australia. Terrill, who said most of his fond memories from Texas are because of Roach, said he looked through letters from Roach after his death, and they showed Òthe high value Jim placed on friendship.Ó Government department chair¥man Gary Freeman said he was a stubborn man known for getting his way. Described as living very so¥ciably but also in solitude, he lived alone almost his whole life and was never married. Freeman said Roach never learned how to use a com¥puter, instead using his typewriter, and never owned a television. ÒJim Roach was a man of con¥tradiction,Ó Freeman said. ÒHe had more friends than anyone IÕve ever known. But he was also a solitary, private man.Ó Civic collectives team up to provide accessible data By Nick Mehendale Daily Texan Staff This month, the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Par¥ticipation will begin managing Project Vote SmartÕs Key Votes program, a free online database that provides citizens with ac¥cess to congressional and state legislative voting records. Project Vote Smart, a nonpar¥tisan and nonprofit organiza¥tion, chose the institute instead of applicants from the Universi¥ty of Wisconsin-Madison, Duke University and the University of Southern California. The center will begin compiling data and research in January. Republican and Democrat¥ic national leaders such as Ger¥ald Ford, Michael Dukakis, Jim¥my Carter and Newt Gingrich, founded Project Vote Smart in 1992. The organization, which is funded by foundation grants and individual contributions, researches the voting records, backgrounds, issue positions, campaign contributions, interest group ratings and public state¥ments of more than 40,000 can¥didates and elected officials. The institute is seeking 20 to 30 undergraduate students with an interest in government, jour¥nalism or political communica¥tion to intern 10 or more hours each week researching and com¥piling the voting records of elect¥ed officials. ÒIn order to be an engaged cit¥izen, one must have access to high-quality information about their government,Ó said Rod Hart, director of the institute. ÒOur partnership with Project Vote Smart to manage the Key Votes program dovetails nice¥ly with our mission of creating more voters and better citizens through high-quality, nonparti¥san information.Ó The project will pick the votes by Congress and state legisla¥tors that they believe are impor¥tant based on five criteria. They will determine whether the vote is helpful in portraying how a member stands on a particular issue, clear for the public to un¥derstand, has received media at¥tention, passed or defeated by a close margin, and sometimes, whether a specific bill is consis¥tently inquired about on the proj¥ectÕs VoterÕs Research Hotline. Undergraduate researchers, along with Key Votes staff, will then write descriptions based on information included in the Congressional Record, and in the state house and senate jour¥nals. Additional background in¥formation will be pulled from newspapers, magazines and other media. ÒAll of this will come togeth¥er and allow an individual to be able to pull up on an online database to see how their own representative is voting,Ó said Chuck Courtney, associate di¥rector of the institute. ÒThis will simplify the language of legisla¥tion so that voters have a chance to understand the issues.Ó UNSCRIPTED: City chosen for community From page 1 The team started on Friday at the Wheatsville Co-op on Gua¥dalupe Street, and then worked their way all over Austin, invit¥ing passersby to tape their views on the city. Interviews usual¥ly lasted two minutes and in¥cluded questions such as, ÒWhat should Austin save?Ó and Clem¥entÕs favorite, ÒCan you describe Austin in one word?Ó Clement said the team usual¥ly picked food places, such as the popular food trailer, Hey Cup¥cake! on South Congress Avenue, hoping those who support lo¥cal businesses would take a spe¥cial interest in preservation ef¥forts. Popular answers included protecting the cityÕs green space, such as Barton Springs. UT alumna Marisa Newell said the natural environment was one of her favorite things about Austin. ÒThe city has a lot to offer what other cities donÕt,Ó Newell said. ÒThere are new places, no matter how often I go out.Ó Austin artist Randy Eckels inter¥viewed for the project at the mar¥ket. He has been selling his silver pieces on the Drag since the mar¥ket opened in 1976, he said. Eckels said Austin has changed drastically since he moved to the city 24 years ago. ÒCultural heritage has disap¥peared, nightclubs and restau¥rants are closed,Ó Eckels said. ÒAustin is starting to look like any other big city.Ó While Clement agreed the cityÕs landscape has changed since he graduated, he said he still believes Austinites take a strong interest in their city. ÒPeople here are really plugged in. Local businesses canÕt be [re¥placed by] shopping centers and people are scared of neighbor¥hoods getting supersized,Ó Clem¥ent said. Caroline Barker, spokeswoman for the trust, said that part of the reason Austin was chosen as the site of the project was because of the strong presence of social media in the city. The videos will be on You-Tube in a couple of weeks. The team is also encouraging those who couldnÕt make it to the film¥ing sites in person to voice their thoughts on the groupÕs Twitter page, as well as for Austin resi¥dents to attend the annual Na¥tional Preservation Conference that will be held in Austin Oct. 27-30 this year.

The site, which receives about 10,000 visitors a year, has been on display in the back¥yard of artist Vince HannemannÕs South Austin apartment for 21 years. Hannemann, who accepts donations. He has allowed people to have their weddings and birthday parties at the site, but he does not solicit visitors.

ÒThis is easily more traumat¥ic than either of my divorces,Ó he said. ÒThis is my baby.Ó In March, the city of Austin, acting on a complaint, told Han¥nemann that he needed city permits to continue displaying his work on his property. Under city guidelines, the Cathe¥dral cannot operate like a business because it is in a residential zone.

ÒIf they donÕt fol¥low through with items that need to be collected, there are potential fines and they could end up in court,Ó Martinez said. When the city named the space un¥safe, Austinites were unable to visit the site and Hannemann worked with engi¥ neers and lawyers to ensure the site complied with all safety and legal procedures. ÒSomewhere along the line, and IÕm not exactly sure where, I crossed the line from yard art into a building,Ó Hannemann said. To comply with city codes for the building permit, volunteers had to deconstruct more than 30 tons of the structure, said Micah King, di¥rector of the Save the Cathedral campaign. ÒWith the Cathedral of Junk saved, I hope that the legal space for artists to keep Austin weird is also saved,Ó he said.

And after earning a win in his first away game of his short career, Craft was put in a tough spot. It was Juneteenth 1959 Ñ al¥most 100 years after the Emanci¥pation Proclamation was read in Texas Ñ and Craft had asked his teammates where they would be spending the night. His team¥mates responded with laugh¥ter to Craft, or Òwhite boyÓ as he was referred to, and had to explain that there were not enough rooms available for the black players. Craft was the only player on the team, which played in the West Texas Colored League, who had the opportunity to spend the night in a hotel room with a bed and a shower. While most of his teammates were preparing to set up tents or sleep in their cars, Craft chose to join them and sleep in the back of his car, earning the respect of his entire team.

Although Doniak is excelling on the field, tied for the team lead in goals, her connection with her tight-knit family, including her fa¥ther Dave who encouraged Kylie to get into soccer and coached her until she reached club level, has her feeling homesick. ÒI miss home, since my whole family is there, and thatÕs hard,Ó Doniak said. ÒI also miss the weather and my friends. But I wouldnÕt change where I went to school. I love that IÕll get to live in Austin for four years and I can al¥ways go back.Ó Doniak has loved the experi¥ence of playing in TexasÕ environ¥ment.

DONIAK continues on page 9 NBA PREVIEW Longhorns go on to excel in NBA By Austin Laymance Daily Texan Staff With the 2010-11 NBA season tipping off to¥night, hereÕs a look at the impact the 10 Long¥horns in the league will have this year for their re¥spective teams. Kevin Durant & Royal Ivey Oklahoma City -Kevin Durant is on the brink of an MVP season and should put up monster numbers again this year as the defending scoring champion leads an incredibly young Thunder squad. Oklahoma City re-signed Durant during the offseason and has the horses to run with anyone in the league. Veteran journeyman and former Longhorn Roy¥al Ivey was brought in to shore up the Thunder defense, giving OKC a lockdown defender for the playoffs. Dexter Pittman Miami -Dexter Pittman finds himself on the most talented team in the NBA and will learn from es¥ tablished bigs including Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Juwan Howard. The coaching staff will keep an eye on his weight, which was an is¥sue at Texas, and take things slowly with Pittman as he adjusts to the speed and physical nature of post play in the NBA. New Jersey -The Nets acquired Damion James in a draft-day deal with Atlanta, and he is part of a young core of players charged with turning around a 12-win team. JamesÕ range improved with each year during his career at Texas. If he can knock down the 3-ball with consistency, he should see more and more playing time. Cleveland -Daniel Gib¥son will have an expanded role this year as the Cavaliers scramble to fill the void left by LeBron JamesÕ ugly departure. Gibson will be leaned on to pick up some of the scoring slack with James gone. In seven preseason games, he showed the ability to light it up, averaging just over 14 points in only 25 minutes of action per game. Charlotte -D.J. Augustin was handed the reigns to Mi¥chael JordanÕs team over the summer and will look to lead the Bobcats back to the playoffs in his third year. AugustinÕs numbers took a dip last year after a promising rookie season, but the coaching staff is confident Augustin is ready to be a reliable point guard. Avery Bradley Boston - Avery Bradley was lim¥ ited in the preseason due to off¥ season ankle surgery, but the first Longhorn selected in the 2010 NBA Draft (No.19 overall) will get a chance to learn from Rajon Rondo, one of the best defensive point guards in the league. BradleyÕs role on a veteran Boston squad will be limited, but the 19-year-old will learn from some of the NBAÕs finest. Portland - LaMarcus Aldridge has worked to become one of the best power forwards in the game and is a double-double machine. Aldridge, who is en¥tering his fifth year, will look to lead the Blazers back to the playoffs and is one of a handful of Port¥land bigs who can challenge the LakersÕ size in the West. Maurice Evans Atlanta - Maurice Evans is in his third year with the Hawks and is the elder statesman among the 10 Longhorns in the league. Evans brings energy and tenacity off the bench for one of the most athletic teams in the association. Indiana - T.J. FordÕs health will determine whether or not the Pac¥ers can make it to the playoffs for the first time in four seasons. Ford was limited to 47 games a season ago, but if he can stay on the court in his third year in Indiana, Ford has the skills to get the franchise back on track. But given FordÕs his¥tory, thatÕs a big Òif.Ó FOOTBALL Jeff Heimsath | Daily Texan file photo Junior Keenan Robinson stretches before UTÕs victorious game against Nebraska Oct. 16. Brown inspires Horns with dance, speeches By Laken Litman Daily Texan Staff The top priority on head coach Mack BrownÕs to-do list this week is to reinforce the im¥portance of turnovers. Against Iowa State, Texas gave up four and only forced one. Last year, Texas had 37 takeaways and gave up 28 in 14 games, which was the best margin in the Big 12. This year, the Longhorns have only caused eight and have lost 12, the third worst in the conference. ÒLast year, they came in bas¥kets,Ó Brown said. ÒThis year, we havenÕt had any.Ó The lack of turnovers hurt Texas on Saturday, as the de¥fense did not give the offense extra scoring chances. ÒTurnovers stop the other teamÕs momentum and puts the ball back in your offenseÕs hands,Ó junior lineback¥er Keenan Robinson said. ÒIf turnovers arenÕt being made then the offense doesnÕt have as many times to score as they would. Last year we did that a lot and the offense was able to feed off our turnovers and de¥fensive energy.Ó Mack Brown tell Ôem Brown has done everything he can possibly think of to get his players motivated this sea¥son. HeÕs given countless up¥lifting speeches during prac¥tices and has even decked out the locker room with so many inspirational sayings and post¥ers that you canÕt see the walls. But nothing is working. Maybe he should do what he did in 2007 Ñ crank that Soulja Boy. Brown said that the 2007 team played with the same sense of arrogance and entitle¥ment as this yearÕs team, and in an attempt to snap the play¥ers out of it, he took a light¥hearted and uncharacteristic approach. ÒBefore [the Kansas State game] I got a coachÕs shirt torn down the middle with a camouflage shirt and pants underneath. I ripped the shirt off in pregame, pulled the pants off [and did the Soul¥ja Boy dance],Ó Brown said. ÒI had worked hard for about a week because I canÕt dance worth a lick, and I made a to¥tal fool of myself. [The team] laughed so hard that they were crying and I was so embarrassed, but I thought, ÔWow, weÕre getting some emotion, letÕs go to work!ÕÓ But as it turned out, the dance didnÕt do the trick and Texas lost the game 41-21. ÒWe stunk,Ó Brown re¥called. ÒI made a fool of my¥self trying to get somebody to play with passion.Ó Brown feels the same way this year. Nothing heÕs doing is getting through to his players, and heÕs desperately searching for innovative ideas to change his teamÕs attitude.

Ñ Dan Hurwitz Tuesday, Ocotober 26, 2010 SPORTS 910 CRAFT: Ex-pitcher tells his reverse Jackie Robinson story From page 8 From that moment on, there was a marked difference in the team and how they responded to Jerry as a white pitcher. At first, Craft was referred to simply as Òwhite boyÓ a term that symbol¥ized the teamÕs objections to his presence on the team. Through¥out the season the progression of CraftÕs nickname from simple Òwhite boyÓ to Òour white boy Jer¥ryÓ showed the progression that the team encountered not only on the field as teammates but in oth¥er aspects of life as friends outside of the game. In 1947, AmericaÕs pastime tru¥ly became a national sport that could be played by everyone in the nation. However, it took many years of abuse and a strong resis¥tance to change for baseball to truly develop into a sport where race was not a factor. Jackie RobinsonÕs debut on April 15 of that year began a long journey toward a true desegre¥gation of baseball. Throughout his career, Robinson met endless abuse both from fans and other ball players with patience and in¥tegrity. Many years after the influ¥ence that Robinson left on profes¥sional baseball, Jerry Craft expe¥rienced many of the same preju¥dices as he became the first white pitcher to play in the West Texas Colored Leagues. Craft was born in Jacksboro, where he grew up around a fam¥ily with a hard-nosed work eth¥ic and a deep love of baseball. His father was an experienced outfielder who played on many town teams around the area. Al¥though he was conditioned to fol¥low in his fatherÕs footsteps as an outfielder, Craft developed into an effective pitcher and played on his high schoolÕs baseball team in addition to many semiprofes¥sional town teams in the area. In the late 1950s, Craft went to Texas Tech where he attempted to walk on to the varsity baseball team. Although he did not get a chance to play collegiate baseball, dur¥ing his first summer home from college, he was given the op- From page 8 ÒOnce it became a reality that I could go to school for soc¥cer, though, that was huge for me, because I realized IÕd get to do something I love while I go to school.Ó Doniak is a corporate com¥munication junior in the Col¥lege of Communication and says that balancing school and soccer isnÕt easy. Despite the struggle, she continues both. Outside of the classroom, Doniak leads the Longhorns with a goal in each of the last two games, tied with sopho¥more Kristen Cummins for the most goals on the team. She also has the most assists on the team, with nine. Doniak attributes the suc¥cess to her faith in God. ÒI have been praying a lot and turning to Him,Ó Do¥niak said. ÒEvery time I step on that field, I play for Him. I think that has been my mind¥set. I work my hardest on that field, all in His name.Ó Teammate Lucy Keith is thankful for the work that Do¥niak puts in and her contribu¥tions to the team. ÒKylie has a vision that a lot of girls donÕt have,Ó Keith said. ÒShe is just able to find people moving, and she has great service. She does a lot of a first down and hustled for 10 yards to move the chains, but Davis pulled him immediately and Monroe didnÕt see the field for the rest of the game. ÒIt was my fault we didnÕt use D.J. more,Ó Davis said. ÒAgainst Nebraska, I didnÕt portunity to play on a team that taught him more than he could have anticipated. The Stars were one of many semiprofessional all-black base¥ball teams in the West Texas area. Carl Sedberry, the manager of the Stars, was instrumental in recruit¥ing Craft as a pitcher for his team. Sedberry knew that he had a phe¥nomenal ball club that was capa¥ble of winning but lacked a pitch¥ing staff to get the job done. Af¥ter careful scouting and character evaluation, Craft was invited to play with the Stars at the begin¥ning of the summer of 1959. So deep was the desire to win that the team agreed to allow a white man to join the team. ÒWe needed a pitcher, and he was a pitcher,Ó explained Clar¥ence Myles, one of CraftÕs team¥mates. ÒWe were just happy to have him.Ó At the start of the season, there was a bit of tension that resulted from the long-held so¥cial beliefs of the area. While they were not hostile toward him they were a little wary of his presence on the team. ÒMy teammates were very [harsh] with me to start with,Ó Craft recalled. ÒThey didnÕt want a white boy on their team.Ó It didnÕt matter though. They had to deal with it. But while the Stars allowed Craft to play with them, their op¥ponents were not nearly as ac¥cepting of a white ball player in their league. At a majority of the games, Craft was not only the sub¥ject of stares and constant mutter¥ings, but was also on the receiv¥ing end of elevated ridicule and broken beer bottles being hurled at his head. The friendships that were made and the things experienced held great significance for everyone in¥volved. But it took a touch of hu¥mility and a couple of difficult ex¥periences for the bond between Craft and his black teammates to truly develop. The defining moment for Craft came during a road trip to Waco. After a difficult loss, Sedberry took the team to an all-black res-taurant, a rare treat for a team that was accustomed to money-saving sack lunches. Once the team had ordered, the owner of the restau¥rant asked Craft to leave indicat¥ing that his presence in his diner was making the other patrons un¥comfortable. Refusing to abandon their teammate, the rest of the Stars walked out, refusing to eat at an establishment that would not serve white patrons. Refusal of service was a com¥mon occurrence in many white restaurants of the time, but this was the first occasion that Craft had experienced the same preju¥dice that his black teammates felt a majority of the time. The impact of this moment brought all of the Stars to a shared level Ñ no more were they opposites brought to¥gether by a sport, they had expe¥rienced discrimination and hu- DONIAK: Junior assists in leading team our free kicks and is really key in helping us get our goals.Ó Head coach Chris Petrucel¥li agrees on DoniakÕs effective¥ness on the team. ÒShe gives us a chance off of her service and certainly does a good job at winning the ball in the air and getting her foot on it in the box,Ó Petrucelli said. ÒSheÕs got a lot of qualities that have been really effective.Ó Although Doniak scored her fifth goal of the season on Sun¥day night against Oklahoma, the team still fell in overtime. ÒItÕs a tough feeling,Ó Do¥niak said. ÒItÕs obviously very frustrating and IÕm still a lit¥tle angry about it. We should have won, but I guess we will work harder this week and put it behind us. ItÕs still a little bit of a let down for us.Ó While the Big 12 Tourna¥ment may be more focused on the present, Doniak keeps her future in mind trying to weigh her options. ÒI would love to go profes¥sional,Ó she said. ÒItÕs a lot of time, though, so I will see where I end up.Ó But first, Doniak said she hopes to end up in the NCAA Tournament.

The young women pluck their eyebrows and talk about the Òhot boy at the protest.Ó The young men crack a joke about the latest execution while they get drunk togeth¥er. They flirt, they quarrel with their old-fashioned parents and one couple searches in frustra¥tion for a place where they can have privacy. However, itÕs the setting that makes familiar story lines differ¥ent. As one of the characters says, ÒSince when do people get what they deserve in this country?Ó The story of a young singer trying to make it in the music industry, despite her mother Õs disapproval of the dream, in¥cludes the challenge of avoid¥ing the morality police. The sto¥ry of the man with suppressed feelings for his male best friend includes how an arranged mar¥riage affects their relationship. The story of the young woman sleeping with a married man includes her tense relation¥ship with her family where her mother nags her, but lovingly dotes on her brother. One problem with the film, however, is that by cramming all of this into 90 minutes, some story lines are much less devel¥oped than others. The different stories receive unequal atten¥tion and some stories end up feeling like filler. Overall ÒDog SweatÓ is an in¥triguing film about a young gen¥eration of Iranians in search of an identity in modern-day Iran.
