Crossing the Golden Gate Austinites take steps to ÔSave MunyÕ from zoning By Collin Eaton Daily Texan Staff Leaders of the Lions Municipal Golf Course said Monday that the City Council may have reason to consider acquiring the course from UT after the Austin Planning Com¥mission recommended including the Brackenridge Tract in a West Austin neighborhood plan. The councilÕs first reading of the recommendation to include the UT SystemÕs 350-acre tract into the Cen¥tral West Austin Combined Neigh¥borhood Plan is scheduled for July 29, and a second reading must be scheduled before the council can ap¥prove the language. If adopted, the city would be assigned to consider the ideas of the neighborhood and other stakeholders when planning a zoning change or development. ÒWe wanted to have a say about the future of the Brackenridge Tract,Ó said ÒSave MunyÓ member Mary Arnold, who has been work¥ ing to preserve the course for de¥cades.

The opinions expressed in both forums as well as through e-mails to the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement will be used by the committee that was commis¥sioned to make a recommendation to Pres¥ident William Powers Jr. He will then give his recommendation to the Board of Re¥gents, who will make the final decision. Some students were concerned that if Sim¥kins Hall, which was named after a former Ku Klux Klan member and UT law profes¥sor, is renamed, it will start a frenzy on cam¥pus to rename all the buildings and statues that commemorate people who do not hold ideals that conform to modern standards.

A Cap Metro committee con¥vened Monday to go over the spe¥cifics of the three-year deal, which will remain largely the same aside from a few tweaks. These changes include in¥creased financial obligation for UT; changes in the branding of the UT buses to expedite the ro¥tation of new vehicles into the fleet; and an option for greater use of general advertising on bus¥es, a move that could create a new revenue stream for shuttle fund¥ing. The vote to implement these changes will happen at the July 26 board meeting.

The city main¥tains that the use or development of the golf course for non-university purposes is subject to zoning and other land use and development regulations, and that to Òestablish mutually acceptable devel¥opment regulations,Ó the city will be re¥sponsive to the Òcommunity needs and [desired],Ó economic and environmen¥tal quality of the land. In 1910, Col. George Bracken¥ridge gave the UT System 503 acres in southwest Austin. The city estab¥lished the 18-hole, 144-acre Lions Mu¥nicipal Golf Course in 1934. The UT System has been looking into devel¥oping on the track since July 2006, when it established the Brackenridge Tract Task Force, to review the best use of the land. In an October 2006 task force presentation, the group stat¥ed that it had a long-term plan to de¥velop a residence hall and apartments on the land. Cooper, Robertson & Partners de¥veloped two conceptual plans for the tract, both of which would involve demolishing the golf course.

On June 22, the Austin Planning Commission recommended the proposed language change to the City Council. ÒSince IÕve been involved in this project for Central West Austin, [the city] has always indicated inter¥est in obtaining the golf course,Ó Di-Giuseppe said Monday. ÒBut I donÕt know that changes just because of the language [that would include the Brackenridge Tract into the Neighbor¥hood Plan] Ñ IÕm not sure what the overall effects [would be].Ó Lloyd Morrison, head profession¥al golfer at the course, said though the 1989 agreement is in effect until 2019, the UT System has been speak¥ing Ñ though less and less this year Ñ about breaking the agreement and developing on the course. ÒThe ultimate goal is to acquire the golf course permanently,Ó Morrison said. ÒI think [including the Brack¥enridge Tract in the Neighborhood Plan] is a step forward in [the city] ob¥taining the golf course.Ó The UT System continues to evalu¥ate market conditions and viable op¥tions for the tract, UT System spokes¥man Matt Flores said. ÒThe Muny lease goes through 2019, so thereÕs no big rush to do any¥thing,Ó Flores said.                                              HALL: Decision not likely to be postponed to fall From page 1 ÒIf we do change the name of the dorm, we need to draw a very clear line and say that this is why what Simkins did was too far, and he shouldnÕt be honored with a building named after him,Ó former Stu¥dent Government representa¥tive Alex Ferraro said. ÒThis campus is full of buildings and statues that are tributes to people who were not con¥sistent with the values that we have now.Ó Another issue raised at the forum was postponing the decision to rename the dorm until the fall, when the majority of students will be in Austin. ÒI would like to ask you, and ask President Powers as well, if youÕll please delay any recommendation until the fall semester,Ó said Andrew Nash, former Student Events Center president. ÒMany voices arenÕt able to be heard because weÕre here in the summer.Ó However, both Gregory Vincent, UTÕs vice president of diversity and communi¥ty engagement, and SG Vice President Muneezeh Kabir confirmed it is highly un¥likely that the recommenda¥tion will be postponed be¥cause SG has already done as much as possible to en¥sure the involvement of stu¥dents in the decision. Kabir said that having the forums and sending a University¥wide e-mail were steps that no other student represen¥tatives had taken to involve the student body before. Another element that fac¥tored into the decision to have only two forums is that this is¥sue is uncharted territory for the University. ÒI donÕt know that there has ever been any issue on cam¥pus thatÕs been this well-pub¥licized with so much public input,Ó Kabir said. Tempers flared at times as people with differing opin¥ions took the microphone. ÒDonÕt give me this non¥sense that he was a product of his time,Ó said Kevin Mur¥phy, a Kansas native who now practices law in Austin. ÒHeÕs a product of scum and hate.Ó Murphy and Vincent had an exchange that result¥ed in Vincent confirming that although the Òmajori¥tyÓ of the committee mem¥bers were in the room, none of the regents Ñ who must make the ultimate decision Ñ were present. Charles Simmons was ad¥amant that the hall retain its name because SimkinsÕ be¥havior was justifiable in the context of the aftermath of the Civil War.

ÒHe was very supportive of the University with money and his influence after he left office,Ó Car¥leton said. University officials praised Bris¥coeÕs time in office and his contri¥butions to UT. ÒTexas has lost a beloved senior statesman, and the University has lost a dear friend,Ó President Wil¥liam Powers Jr. said in a statement. ÒWhen [Briscoe] served as gover¥nor, he was a persuasive voice for greater support of public educa¥tion throughout the state.Ó Briscoe, a rancher from South Texas who graduated from UT in 1943, won the governorship in 1972 running on a platform of re¥storing trust and integrity to a gov¥ernorÕs office that had been badly shaken by the Sharpstown stock scandal. He ran for governor in 1968 and lost in a 10-way race for the Democratic Party nomination. Before he was governor, Briscoe served as a member of the Texas Legislature from 1949 until 1957, where he co-authored legislation creating the farm-to-market road system, which linked rural farm¥land to major Texas cities. Carleton said one of the major accomplishments during BriscoeÕs time as governor was the passage of the Texas Open Records Act, the first real legislation to ensure gov¥ernment transparency. ÒHe was one of the finest peo¥ple IÕve ever known,Ó said White, who was secretary of state while Briscoe was governor. ÒTexas has lost a great leader, and IÕve lost a good friend.Ó White said that BriscoeÕs reputa¥tion and actions in office were key to restoring trust in Austin after the Capitol had been rocked by scandal. ÒIt was an exciting time because we had great leadership,Ó he said. Former Lt. Gov. William Hob¥by called Briscoe one of the finest human beings and public officials heÕd ever known. ÒIt was [a] privilege to serve with him and to be his friend,Ó Hobby said. Briscoe wasnÕt all that popular while he was governor Ñ he lost to then Attorney General John Hill Jr. in the 1978 Democratic primary. ÒBack in the day, there was the impression that he ran a do-nothing administration,Ó said Dave McNee¥ly, a longtime reporter and political columnist for the Houston Chroni¥cle and Austin American-Statesman who covered the Capitol while Bris¥coe was governor. ÒHill ran against Briscoe on that and managed to win in the primary.Ó The Sharpstown scandal that propelled Briscoe to the governorÕs office also helped elect a more lib¥eral-than-usual Legislature, which passed bills increasing transpar¥ency in Texas government, he said. However, Briscoe was better known for his philanthropic activ¥ities and political activism after he left the GovernorÕs Mansion. ÒHe was one of the best ex-gov¥ernors in state history,Ó McNee¥ly said. Tuesday, June 29, 2010 Francisco.

Austin may be next on the list to expand security cameras in high-crime lo¥cations. This summer, the City Council is voting on an Austin Police Department initiative to increase surveillance in high¥crime areas, which includes Sixth Street. The proposal to enhance security mea¥sures is the result of collaborative efforts between the police department and the Downtown Austin Alliance in response to growing public concerns. However, increased surveillance doesnÕt necessarily deter or prevent crime, and this is important for the public, as well as the council, to consider. While cities such as San Francisco and Dallas have both shown reduced crime rates in areas where surveillance cameras were installed, they arenÕt necessarily the only crime-deterring technique that led to the reduction. Factors such as increased police patrols and community safety pro¥grams also affected crime rates. Further¥more, across the board, surveillance cam¥eras have not been directly linked to de¥creased crime rates, according to a study conducted in 2003 by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. ItÕs also important to note that the ef¥fectiveness of surveillance programs has been exaggerated in some cases. After authorities apprehended Faisal Shahzad for attempting to bomb Times Square last month, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg used the occasion to justify the $24 million federal grant allocated to in¥crease New YorkÕs Lower Manhattan Secu¥rity Initiative in 2005, when surveillance actually played no part in preventing the crime at all. In fact, despite hundreds of cameras in the area, extensive data-gath¥ering surveillance systems failed to alert the New York anti-terrorist division; they became aware of the emergency only af¥ter two street vendors called local author¥ities to report Òsmoke and sparksÓ emit¥ting from an abandoned car with its en¥gine still running, according to The New York Times. Using cameras to snag violent criminals can also lead to civil rights abuses. Histor¥ical and current evidence has shown that technology created for one purpose is in¥evitably used for other questionable pur¥poses. The clandestine nature of monitoring, combined with the dragnet-style approach to collecting data, pushes laws and legal systems to the limit Ñ and perhaps be¥yond. Community and police surveillance programs have repeatedly abused their authority by spying on private homes, re¥cording intimate activities and uploading surveillance footage online for public con¥sumption. We should not overlook less invasive solutions that could be just as effective, such as community neighborhood watch¥es. There are alternative crime-prevention methods that donÕt curtail our civil liber¥ties, and these solutions may also be less expensive. For example, we could enhance neighborhood watch initiatives and use the $600,000 price tag of the Austin initia¥tive to fund a bigger police force. Actual manpower remains the primary deterrent to crime, while surveillance is most effec¥tive after a crime is committed and during the process of building a case. We donÕt need to jeopardize freedoms in order to be safe. Surveillance technolo¥gy is not going to go away, but the public should remain vigilant in demanding le¥gal restrictions on its applications and ret¥ribution for abuses. Without persistent ef¥forts, we risk the continued diminishment of our civil liberties and rights to privacy. Purvin is a rhetoric and writing senior. GALLERY The GOPÕs ÔGreenÕ scheme By Joshua Avelar Daily Texan Columnist Many political pundits would tell you Tex¥as is a red state with no signs of changing any¥time soon. They would tell you the real com¥petition for the governorship was the Repub¥lican primary between Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchi¥son and incumbent Gov. Rick Perry, and that no Democratic challenger could give Perry any real competition. However, some Republicans with connec¥tions to Perry are so scared of losing in the up¥coming gubernatorial election that theyÕre dab¥bling in some classic political trickery Ñ fund¥ing the environmentally oriented Green PartyÕs initiative to get candidates on the November ballot. Democrats rightfully saw this Republi¥can-supported effort to get the Green Party on the ballot as a scheme to siphon away potential votes for Democratic gubernatorial candidate and former Houston mayor Bill White. On Thursday, District Judge John Dietz blocked the Green Party candidates from Tex¥asÕ general election ballot after ruling that the Green Party received illegal corporate contri¥butions Ñ money the Green Party must have thought just fell out of the sky, since they couldnÕt trace its origins. Court testimony in a lawsuit the Texas Demo¥cratic Party filed against the Green Party of Tex¥as led many to believe the illegal contributions came from a Republican-led petition drive. The Green Party was able to gather 92,000 petition signatures, an endeavor that would have cost around $532,500, according to the Austin Amer¥ican-Statesman. Missouri-based Take Initiative America footed the bill for the Green Party as an in-kind donation, but have not said where exactly the money came from. On Thursday, UT alumnus Garrett Mize testi¥fied he was involved with the beginning stages of the ballot initiative. Mize said Mike Toomey, PerryÕs former chief of staff, approached him in late 2009 to help the Green Party get on the ballot for the upcoming election, according to The Dallas Morning News. Mize said he was told the money for the petition drive would come from wind-energy advocates, but he soon learned that wasnÕt the case and that most of the money was coming from Republicans. A June 18 Rasmussen poll showed Perry lead¥ing White by eight percentage points, a pretty comfortable lead. So what, exactly, made these GOP operatives so scared that theyÕd spend so much time and energy aiding the efforts of a third party? The Perry loyalists have the last 10 years of history upon which to build the case for Per¥ryÕs re-election. As the longest-serving gover¥nor in Texas history, there are plenty of Per¥ry-era practices for Texans to either praise or ridicule. Perry may finally be at the end of his overextended road as governor, as voters may express disgruntled feelings at the constant cronyism and lackluster supervision over Tex¥as education. Christine Morshedi, co-chairwoman for the Green Party of Texas, doesnÕt seem to mind being used as a political tool in a Republican strategy. Morshedi showed no concern over where the money for her partyÕs ballot initia¥tive was coming from, and the Green Party is appealing DietzÕs decision to the state Su¥preme Court. Perry supporters and the Green Party should ask themselves if theyÕre really all they make themselves out to be. Does the GOP have a strong hold on Texas if it is unable to re-elect a long-term governor without funding a third party to siphon votes from the Democrats? Does the Green Party really have enough support here in Texas to get itself on the ballot without having to succumb to unethical funding? Apparently not, or else PerryÕs support¥ers wouldnÕt have started this scheme and the Green Party leaders wouldnÕt have let it hap¥pen. Avelar is a journalism and government senior.

ÒWeÕll be designing and imple¥menting a monitoring system to try to identify where the carbon dioxide goes in the subsurface Ñ both the deep subsurface, which is 5,000 to 6,000 feet below the sur¥face, and the shallow subsurface Ñ to ensure that the carbon dioxide is not leaking into the groundwa¥been injecting carbon dioxide into the ground for more than 40 years in a process known as enhanced oil recovery.

ProfessorÕs book pushes for power of labor unions By Hannah Jones Daily Texan Staff A UT labor law professor has released a book on organized la¥bor that could influence the way unions are currently run in the United States. Professor Julius Getman said he has spent the past three years working on his book titled ÒRe¥storing the Power of Unions: It Takes a Movement,Ó which is the culmination of more than 20 years of research on organized labor. The book, which was released Sunday, has already received at¥tention from various unions.

Williams suffered a high ankle sprain against Texas State last December. He underwent surgery Jan. 20 and missed most of the season. Guards Dogus Balbay and Varez Ward will probably not work out with the team this summer but are expected to fully recover by the start of practice in the fall. Balbay was one of the teamÕs best perime¥ter defenders but tore his ACL in the first half of the game against Texas Tech on Feb. 20, yet the Turkish point guard was still named to the Big 12 All-Defensive Team. Ward ruptured his right quadriceps in the fourth game of last season and, after sur¥gery Dec. 1, sat out the rest of the season. Both are expected to contrib¥ute heavily next year, follow¥ing the loss of on-court lead¥ers Damion James and Dexter Pittman. Despite not being able to work out this summer, Balbay and Ward are taking the time off to work on their shooting. ÒTheyÕre all doing well,Ó Texas head coach Rick Barnes said. ÒThey worked hard at their rehabilitation. I think itÕs a really hard thing to do, but theyÕve stayed with it. I think that if you talked to our med¥ical staff here, they would tell you that these guys are certain¥ly where they need to be, and in some cases probably ahead of schedule.Ó ÒBut weÕre not going to push any of them along too quickly because weÕre counting on all three to help us this year,Ó he added. Balbay is a senior and in his final year of eligibility, while the NCAA granted both Wil¥liams and Ward medical hard¥ship waivers for the past sea¥son because of their injuries. Big 12 impresses The Lakers won the NBA championship just two weeks ago, but the league already took the first step toward next season with ThursdayÕs draft. The Big 12 had the best night of any conference as a record seven conference players were picked in the first round, in¥cluding a pair of Longhorns. Avery Bradley went to Bos¥ton with the No. 19 pick while Atlanta took Damion James at No. 24, although JamesÕ rights were later traded to New Jer¥sey. Miami selected Dexter Pittman with the second pick of the second round. ÒTo have three players se¥lected in one draft is very im¥pressive,Ó Barnes said. ÒWeÕre happy for all three guys and their families. All of them had dreams of playing in the NBA long before they came to the University of Texas, and now they can begin to realize those dreams.Ó The Big 12 showed off its indi¥vidual talent by having 10 play¥ers selected in the draft, the most from any single conference. BASKETBALL continues on page 8 BASEBALL Rosenblatt Stadium hosts CWS finals for one last time ItÕs hard writing about a place as special, magnificent and his¥toric as Johnny Rosenblatt Stadi¥um, having never personally been there. There was a moment this past season, when Texas was hot¥ter than any team in the nation, I thought IÕd be there to see its farewell tour while covering the Longhorns, who were arguably the kings of Rosenblatt from 2000¥2009 with six trips to the College World Series, two national cham¥pionships and two second-place finishes. Instead, IÕve watched the final eight teams compete in Rosenblatt for the last time on television and in bars, and I canÕt help but feel a little sad. For so long, Rosenblatt seemed untouchable. A dream. The mecca of college baseball that delivered more magic than Disney and had a reputation for turning young men into heroes and legends. My first memory of Rosenblatt, and the CWS, came when I was 7 and saw Louisiana StateÕs Warren Morris blast a two-out, two-run home run just over the right-field wall in the bottom of the ninth to beat Miami 9-8 and win the 1996 national championship. After that, I was hooked. I didnÕt need any reminder when the CWS was starting. I knew Rosenblatt was a place built for dreams and history. Part of me even wanted to play for LSU for a while after that Ñ only for a lit¥tle bit, though. With the stadiumÕs remaining lifetime down to possibly two more games, itÕs hard to imag¥ine the CWS and Omaha, Neb., without it. Instead, college base¥ballÕs national championship will be played three miles north at the new, $128 million TD Ameritrade Park that seats 24,000. The name could use some work. Ayear from now, the only thing that will still be standing at Rosen¥blattÕs original location are the foul poles and home plate, after 61 years of hosting the ÒGreatest Show on Dirt.Ó The field, lights, dugouts and stands will become a pile of rubble, and the area will be used to provide additional park¥ing for the Omaha Zoo. Since the CWSÕs inception in 1950, the event has drawn more than 7 million fans and has grown STADIUM continues on page 8 WORLD CUP Netherlands eliminate Slovakia to advance By Naishadh Bhonsle Daily Texan Staff Netherlands 2, Slovakia 1 The Netherlands, having eased into the Round of 16, had star winger Arjen Rob¥ben back in the starting line¥up and were favorites against minnows Slovakia. The Slo¥vakian team, though, was just happy to be there and felt comfortable being regarded as underdogs after their bril¥liant escape from the group stage at the expense of Italy. For years, the Dutch have been noted for free flowing. With two of the most creative players in Robben and Wes¥ley Sneijder, the Dutch had no shortage of ammunition on attack. The Slovaks, though, came out strong with multi¥ple shots on goal. Their ap¥proach was much more direct compared to the Dutch, who were looking for the perfect pass. To the SlovaksÕ disap¥pointment, that perfect pass came from Sneijder in the 18th minute when he played a long ball to Robben outside the box, who cut inside onto his favored left foot and shot a low drive into the bottom corner. The Dutch continued to at¥tack in the second half as Rob¥ben had a curling effort saved by the fingertips of the Slova¥kian keeper, Jan Mucha. Mark van Bommel almost doubled WORLD CUP continues on page 8 PRO TENNIS Roddick loses in five sets, fails to reach quarterfinals By Stephen Wilson The Associated Press WIMBLEDON, England Ñ Three-time finalist Andy Rod¥dick was stunned in the fourth round at the Wimbledon Cham¥pionship on Monday by an 82nd-ranked Taiwanese player who hadnÕt won a match here the past four years. The fifth-seeded American was ousted 4-6, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 9-7 by Yen-Hsun Lu in a match that lasted more than four and a half hours. Lu sealed the victory in the 16th game of the fifth set with his only service break of the match. The 26-year-old Lu had lost in the first round at Wimbledon four straight times and failed to win a match at the past five Grand Slams. HeÕs the first Asian man to reach the quarterfinals of any Grand Slam since Shuzo Mat¥suoka of Japan did it at Wim¥bledon in 1995. Roddick had 38 aces, but con¥verted only one of eight break¥point chances. Lu finished with 22 aces. ÒI thought he served better than he has against me before,Ó Roddick said. ÒThat being said, I had shots. I didnÕt take ad¥vantage of them.Ó LuÕs win overshadowed vic¥tories by Roger Federer, Rafa¥el Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray on the menÕs side, and the Williams sisters and Kim Clijsters among the women.

It was his first win over a top-10 player since he beat Murray in the first round of the 2008 Bei¥jing Olympics. Roddick, the 2003 U.S. Open champion, has lost three times to Federer in Wimbledon finals, including last yearÕs epic match that went to 16-14 in the fifth set. He had beaten Lu in straight sets in three previous meetings. Roddick evened MondayÕs match by serving a 126 mph ace on the final point of the fourth¥set tiebreaker, and had a chance for a decisive break in the fifth. But, on break point at 4-4, Lu came up with a perfect back¥hand volley and went on to hold serve. Serving with Lu ahead 8-7, Roddick hit a forehand long at 30¥all to set up match point. Lu con¥verted by hitting a running fore¥hand passing shot down the line. ÒThrough three sets I was playing horrendously, I mean really, really badly,Ó Roddick said. ÒI was trying to think of how to put balls in the court. I think the fifth set was probably the best set that I played ... but when you dig yourself a hole, itÕs tough to get out.Ó Lu said he didnÕt believe he could win but told himself to keep fighting. ÒI just told myself, ÔIf I can stay longer, longer, longer, then probably something happens,ÕÓ he said. ÒAnd finally, then I waited for the last chance to close the match.Ó Lu, who held up a finger to the sky, dedicated the win to his father, a chicken farmer who died in 2000. Earlier, defending wom¥enÕs champion Serena Williams overcame Maria Sharapova 7-6 (9), 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals and avenge her loss to the Rus¥sian in the 2004 final. Clijsters rallied to beat Justine Henin 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 in an all-Bel¥gian duel between former No. 1-ranked players making Wim¥bledon comebacks after return¥ing from retirement. Defending champion Feder¥er, 2008 champion Nadal, third¥seeded Djokovic, No. 4 Murray and five-time womenÕs winner Venus Williams also advanced on an action-packed day fea¥turing all remaining 32 menÕs and womenÕs players in fourth¥round matches. ÒI had a few looks at her serve, but even when you had a good look and the ballÕs com¥ing at you [at] 120 [mph], itÕs pretty tough to do much with it,Ó Sharapova said. Kim Clijsters came from a set down against Justine Henin and is 13-12 in career meetings against her compatriot. Henin received treatment on her right elbow on three changeovers after slipping and falling to the turf as she charged to the net at 2-1 in the first set. She said the el¥bow was Òquite painfulÓ and ÔÔ I canÕt believe weÕre back to this after so many years of battling against each other.Ó Ñ Kim Clijsters Belgian Tennis Player Serena Williams served 19 aces for the second straight match Ñ taking her total to 63 for the tournament Ñ and held off the resurgent Sharapova in a tight battle on Centre Court.

ÒWeÕll see in the next few days.Ó Henin seemed to be in com¥plete command after easily win¥ning the first set, but Clijsters Ñ a two-time U.S. Open champi¥on Ñ lifted her game in the sec¥ond. Clijsters made the decisive break in the eighth game of the final set, and the two exchanged kisses on the cheek at the net. ÒI canÕt believe weÕre back to this after so many years of battling against each other,Ó Clijsters said. Federer, chasing a record¥tying seventh Wimbledon sin¥gles title, swept past 16th¥seeded Jurgen Melzer 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 to reach his 25th consecu¥tive Grand Slam quarterfinal. ÒI thought I played great,Ó said Federer, who next plays Tomas Berdych. ÒAggressive right from the start.Ó Nadal, forced into five sets the previous two rounds, need¥ed only three on Monday to beat Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-4, 6-2, 6-2, and showed no sign of the right knee trouble that both¥ered him. Nadal faces sixth-seeded Robin Soderling, the Swede who beat him in the fourth round at the French Open last year. Nadal beat Robert Soder¥ling in last monthÕs French Open final. Soderling, who hadnÕt dropped a set until Monday, needed five sets to beat No. 9 David Ferrer 6-2, 5-7, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 to make the quarters for the first time. Novak Djokovic beat 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 to reach the quar¥terfinals for the second year in a row. The Serb received medi¥cal treatment in the third set for stomach cramps, but regained the advantage in the fourth with two service breaks. Murray beat American Sam Querrey 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the final eight for the third consec¥utive year. HeÕs the only play¥er in the menÕs draw who hasnÕt lost a set. Murray, seeking to become the first British player to win the menÕs singles title since Fred Perry in 1936, will next meet 10th-seeded Frenchman Jo-Wil¥fried Tsonga. Venus Williams pulled out a tough 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory over Jarmila Groth of Australia, the lowest-ranked player left in the draw at No. 92. Third-seeded Caroline Wozni¥acki lost 6-2, 6-0 to unseeded Czech Petra Kvitova. Also making the quarters were No. 9 Li Na of China, Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria and quali¥fier Kaia Kanepi of Estonia.

Summer daze In late May, Nebraska athlet¥ic director Tom Osborne sug¥gested that the Big 12 support pending NCAA legislation that would end summer recruiting for basketball. ÒThe summer recruiting really plays into the hands of the AAU guys,Ó Osborne told the Oma¥ha World-Herald at the time. ÒAnd so many ÒIÕm not opposed to cutting some days in the summer if we add them in the fall,Ó he said. ÒI do think we need to evaluate.Ó Fresh faces Recruits Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph are on cam¥pus working out with their new teammates and getting a crucial head start on the transition from high school to college basketball. The two enrolled early at Texas and are training with the Longhorns still in town. ÒThey were able to get here first semester, so they were able to go with our guys from the beginning,Ó Barnes said.

Thompson signed a letter of in¥tent to play at Texas in Novem¥ber of last year while Joseph was a late but welcome addition to the small class. Thompson is a tall post play¥er who averaged 19.1 points and 9.6 rebounds per game as a senior at Findlay, and Joseph is a speedy guard known for his vision and 3-point shooting, as he converted 46.9 percent of his long-range shots last year. Both are expected to see immediate playing time at Texas. WORLD CUP: Brazil dominates Chile, moves on to quarterfinals From page 7 his teamÕs lead when his shot off a cross was also saved by the Slovakian keeper. But Slovakia almost pulled off an amazing comeback when Robert Vittek was put clean¥through on goal after bad de¥fending from the Dutch. His shot was right at the keeper and was easily saved. Minutes later, the Dutch caught the Slovakian defense napping on a free kick that put Dirk Kuyt past the Slo¥vakian keeper for him to pass for to Sneijder to finish into an open net. Brazil 3, Chile 0 The Round of 16 brought an ex¥citing matchup between Chile and Brazil, two teams that play with an aggressive and wide¥open style. Despite Brazil being the favorite, its South American neighbor started just as strong¥ly with both teams taking mul¥tiple shots on goal. Brazil took the lead in the 34th minute on a corner kick from Maicon Douglas Sisenan¥do. Juan Silveira dos Santos rose above the Chilean defense and headed MaiconÕs corner into the back of the net. Four minutes later, Brazil scored again. The goal came after Chile sent men forward, but caught on a Brazilian fast break down the right, R—bson ÒRobinhoÓ de Souza made a pass to Ricardo ÒKak‡Ó Leite in the middle, who played a first¥time ball to an onside Lu’s Fa¥biano, who rounded the keep¥er to finish. Brazil went into the break having never lost a World Cup game when up by two goals. The second half brought more attacking, and it took only 15 minutes for Brazil to break down the Chilean defense again. Jose Ramirez Barreto collected the ball in the Chilean midfield and burst into space Ñ his run sliced open the defense as he made a perfect pass for Robinho to curl past the diving keeper. The score ensured a place for Brazil in the next round de¥spite resistance from an excit¥ing and brave Chile. Brazil and the Netherlands will play one another in the quarterfinals for a place in the semifinals. STADIUM: Only a few more magic moments left for Rosenblatt From page 7 from its original capacity of 10,000 to 23,000. A mere 17,805 people came the first year and a record 336,076 came in 2009. But will it be the same? ItÕs hard to imagine the CWS without Rosen¥blatt and the atmosphere it has cre¥ated for Omaha. Sure, people com¥plained about the concourses being too narrow, the clubhouses too small and parking the limited parking, but the history overshadows it all. ÒIf youÕre a sports fan, you need to attend the College World Series because of the festival that it is,Ó Tex¥as head coach Augie Garrido said. ÒItÕs right up there with the Ken¥tucky Derby or anything else you can name. ItÕs pretty damn special.Ó Yes, the new stadium will be nice, with a 360-degree concourse, more restrooms, big clubhouses, 26 lux¥ury suites and indoor batting cag¥es. There will be more than enough room for the iconic tailgating that goes on, but the new stadium will face a lot of the same challenges the new Yankee Stadium has Ñ making new memories and looking forward. ÒI cry every day,Ó Greg Pivovar, the 19-year owner of the Stadi¥um View souvenir shop, told The New York Times. ÒItÕs a rough goodbye.Ó With the last college champion¥ship finals at Rosenblatt wrapping up as soon as tonight with UCLA and South Carolina, there are only a few more moments of magic left on its hallowed field. Pivovar asked customers to write farewell mes¥sages on the north side of his shop, across the street from the stadium. Rosenblatt will still host the Class AAA Omaha Royals and the Oma¥ha Nighthawks of the United Foot¥ball League to complete their sea¥sons, but it will never again be used for what itÕs most known for. All we can do is look at the ÒRoad to OmahaÓ statue out front one last time and hope for a three¥game series, so we can have one more chance to see the best in col¥lege baseball battle in Rosenblatt. Or, go on a spontaneous all-night road trip to catch the final CWS game. I hear itÕs worth it.

That single alone proved to fans that Wolf Parade was a band worth keeping tabs on, with some slight modicum of staying power. With its newest release, Expo Wolf Parade Expo 86 Grade: B Refusing to bow to the ÔLove KingÕ Evocative Wolf Parade release delights, confuses By Julie Rene Tran Daily Texan Staff At the age of 30, R&B sing¥er-songwriter and record pro¥ducer The -Dream (Terius Youngdell Nash) is thinking of calling it quits. The artist told MTV News in March that his latest album, Love King, may be his last solo release. ItÕs hard to take the news seri¥ously, as artists these days tend to do and say anything for me¥dia attention, and fans should hope for another exit album if they want The-Dream to go out the right way Ñ with a bang. Love King is the last part of a trilogy of albums from the artist, following 2007Õs Love/Hate and 2009Õs Love vs. Money. But unlike its predecessors, it fails to deliv¥er anything extraordinary. Though Love King features some of the elements that led The-Dream to stardom, such as his glossy falsettos and sex¥oozing beat, itÕs a repetitive production. The albumÕs only stand-out track is ÒYamahaÓ; the poppy vibe of the hit intertwined with shrill synthesizing and fast beats is oddly akin to PrinceÕs Purple Rain. However, it stands out for its own charm. Overall, Love King is sub¥par, with cliche, juvenile verses about sex and money, laid over percussive rhythms reminis¥cent of his old hits, that become tiresome after listening to only a few tracks. The album will most likely get some love for its hyped beats as well as for a few Billboard-worthy singles such as ÒYamahaÓ and ÒMake Up Bag,Ó which features rapper T.I. Maybe the blame for the let¥down can be attributed to the fact that The-Dream spent only four months on the LP, or maybe that he spent so much more time producing material DROWSY: Play a clever, fresh take on theater From page 12 is too preoccupied with the open bar to care about wedding-day traditions. And, like all comedies of this nature, the show wouldnÕt be complete without a smattering of ridiculous supporting char¥acters, including a pair of gang¥sters disguised as pastry chefs, a wealthy older woman and her butler and JanetÕs producer, who is hell-bent on breaking up the wedding so Janet can remain in show business. ItÕs hard to say what the Man thinks is so special about ÒThe Drowsy Chaperone.Ó The sto¥ry is intentionally overacted and overcomplicated, and the mu¥sic is mostly forgettable Ñ but thatÕs unimportant. The success of ÒChaperoneÓ lies in the ManÕs exuberant and witty commen¥tary on the show, its original ac¥tors and 1920s theater. Seeing the show through his eyes adds a clever and entertaining frame¥work that engages the audience throughout the play, even during the showÕs slowest and most te¥dious moments. Instead of gloss¥ing over the playÕs flaws, he elab¥orates on them; he introduces one scene by saying, ÒThis scene couldnÕt be more ridiculous,Ó and he describes another as ÒlameÓ before skipping the second half of the scene entirely. ÒChaperoneÓ features a talent¥ed and energetic cast, and Burke is particularly well-cast as The Man in the Chair. He serves as a charismatic and likeable media¥tor between the actors in his liv¥ing room and the audience sur¥rounding him. Whether heÕs in¥terrupting the play with his anec¥dotes or watching it alongside the audience, Burke is entertaining to watch and plays his character ex¥pertly, making the Man realistic and charming. The show is well¥choreographed, which comple¥ments the high-energy and ridic¥ulous tone of the show perfectly. ZACH TheatreÕs ÒThe Drowsy ChaperoneÓ is a play that even the Man would approve of. At 140 minutes, the show is short by theater standards, and even someone who hates modern the¥ater as much as the Man claims he does would have to recognize the ingenuity and freshness of the play. Maybe it would finally give him a reason to get over his obsession with the original ÒThe Drowsy Chaperone,Ó a work he admits is mediocre and cliche, and enjoy the gems of contempo¥rary theater. for other R&B artists, includ¥ing Mariah Carey, Brandy and P. Diddy. Whether The-Dream decides to put out another solo album or remain a star behind the scenes, Love King will not be the last of him. 86, Wolf Parade does not disap¥point. The album still maintains the bandÕs despondent vibran¥cy while also picking up inspi¥ration from various intervals of rock ÔnÕ roll to convey its sound. Some songs, such as the albumÕs opener ÒCloud Shadow on the Mountain,Ó go into thrashy fits of embellished angst while oth¥er tracks gain inspiration from Õ80s-style synth arrangements. The band even adds a slight amount of pop, which keeps the album from sounding monoto¥nous. The release is also remi¥niscent of the noise-rock power of groups like My Bloody Valen¥tine, but adding a more polished sound masks such references. The guitars and drums are spot¥on at all times, giving the listen¥er a more polished and cohesive glimpse into this bandÕs musi¥cal forte. What makes this an interest¥ing release is that although it deals with heavy-sounding ar¥rangements without the slight¥est hint of a happy ending, the album never appears to be sad. ÒPalm Road,Ó ÒLittle Golden Age,Ó ÒGhost PressureÓ and ÒOh You, Old ThingÓ are the poppi¥est songs on the album, but they never reach a point where they are fully blissful or joyous. Then the realization comes that senti¥ment is not what Wolf Parade is trying to convey. The only epic moment on the album came in the song ÒYulia.Ó With an upbeat sound remi¥niscent of The Jesus and Mary Chain, the lyrics still play on their somber aesthetic. Lyrics such as, ÒIÕm standing here, drift¥ing alone. And my heart beats slow. And I hope they bring my body back, Yulia,Ó make the lis¥tener immediately sympathetic of the situation happening in the song, but it is impossible not to become engrossed in the music surrounding these sad words. While Expo 86 was well worth the wait, some may not be able to help but scratch their heads and wonder how they should feel after listening to it.

Top Notch hamburgers are the only patties cooked over Kingsford charcoal in the city, said the restaurantÕs new own¥er, Kelly Chappell. ÒTheyÕve been doing it the same way for 39 years,Ó Chap¥pell said. ÒIt tastes like you cooked it in your own backyard, and thatÕs what you canÕt get at any other restaurant in town.Ó In an area of the city that has experienced a number of modern upgrades over the years, the clas¥sic drive-in dive creates a sense of nostalgia for guests. Driving down Burnet Road, itÕs hard to miss the warm hues of a large, lit sign an¥nouncing the restaurantÕs name in bold, colorful letters beneath a gi¥ant hamburger. At 37 years old, Chappell is excited to be taking over this iconic Austin restaurant. ÒIÕm [a] fourth-generation [Austinite],Ó he said. ÒIÕve been coming here almost as long as itÕs been open.Ó Frances and Ray Stanish opened Top Notch in 1971, but decided it was time to move on earlier this year. ÒIt was more of a personal pro¥cess than it was a business one,Ó Chappell said about buying the restaurant from the original own¥ers. Frances Stanish, the matri¥arch of the family, has been bat¥tling cancer for the past 10 years and worried that when the time came for her to sell the place, she wouldnÕt find the right person. ÒShe turned down other buy¥ers because she didnÕt think they appreciated what was going on TOP continues on page 9 By Katherine Kloc Daily Texan Staff ÒThe Drowsy ChaperoneÕsÓ opening lines, which are deliv¥ered in complete darkness, are a bit surprising. ÒI hate theater,Ó play narrator and musical aficionado The Man in the Chair says. ÒYou know what I do when IÕm sitting in a darkened theater, waiting for the curtain to rise? I pray. Dear God, please let it be a good show. And let it be short.Ó The lights come up, and The Man in the Chair (Martin Burke) welcomes the audience into his cozy fantasy world of 1920s the¥ater, which offers him a depar¥ture from the frustrations of the less exciting life he leads outside the bubble of his well-decorated apartment and treasured record collection. The Man reminisces about the glory days of theater, when musicals did Òwhat theyÕre supposed to do,Ó and pulls out the 1928 recording of his favorite musical, ÒThe Drowsy Chaper¥one.Ó No sooner does he put the record on than the original stars of the musical are brought to life in the ManÕs living room. The play-within-the-play fol¥lows vain and glamorous show¥girl Janet Van de Graff (Jill Black¥wood), who has decided to give up show business for love Ñ which may seem surprising, as sheÕs more in love with herself than she could ever be with any¥one else, and she has only just met her handsome but boring fiance (Matthew Redden).
