Parasite found in Texas bugs Disease outbreak in Austin improbable, human cases not found in North America By Andrew Messamore Daily Texan Staff Chagas disease, a tropical parasite commonly found in Latin America, may be more prevalent in Texas than previously thought, according to re¥search done by Sahotra Sarkar, profes¥sor of integrative biology and philoso¥phy. The disease can cause general ill feeling such as fever and abdominal pain, and over many years, the symp¥toms can worsen to include heart and digestive problems. The protozoa that causes the dis¥ease, Trypanosoma cruzi, is com¥monly carried by triatomine bugs that must bite an organism to trans¥mit the protozoa. The protozoa has been found in dogs, although there have been no reported human transmissions in North America, Sarkar said. This may be because people have not reported the disease, and it may be prevalent in larger numbers than we are aware of, according to the results of SarkarÕs ongoing five-year study to collect triatomine bugs in the wild. ÒFifty-percent of triatomine bugs weÕve found have tested positive for the protozoa,Ó Sarkar said. ÒI doubt thereÕs any significant danger to Aus¥tin, though. ItÕs a highly urban, man¥aged environment. What weÕre see¥ing is likely to appear in a more rural area.Ó Infection has been seen in lab ani¥mals from Bastrop at the University of Texas-MD Anderson Cancer Cen¥ter, suggesting its presence in the wild, CHAGAS continues on PAGE 2 Danielle Villasana | Daily Texan Staff After beginning a 205-mile, week long charity run on Oct. 4 to raise money for those affected by the Central Texas wildfires, Rusty Tolliver, 25, Forum held to discuss tuition hike By Megan Strickland Daily Texan Staff Many students in the Red McCombs School of Busi¥ness said they support a tu¥ition increase but have con¥cerns about how much tuition rates go up and how increased funding will be spent within the University. A forum this Tuesday, host¥ed by the McCombs College Tuition and Budget Advisory Committee, allowed students to voice their opinions before the committee made recom¥mendations to the University provost regarding a proposed maximum university-wide tu¥ition hike of 2.6 percent for in-state residents and 3.6 per¥cent for non-residents. Finance senior Leanna Swain said she supports tu¥ition increases but felt that al¥locating the increased fund¥ing entirely to support 12 possible new tenured staff members, as School of Busi¥ness Dean Thomas Gilli¥gan has proposed, is not the best idea. ÒI feel fine about increas¥ing tuition,Ó Swain said. ÒJust spending tuition increases on new faculty is unsustain¥able. Perry can turn around and mandate a 20-percent de¥crease and pull it all out. In two or three years, we may have to fire them again.Ó Michael Daehne, Under¥graduate Business Coun¥cil president and CTBAC co¥chair, said last yearÕs bud¥get cuts resulted in 44 sec¥tions of McCombsÕ classes be¥ing cut for the current semes¥ter, saving $619,776. Five ten¥ured staff and three lecturers were laid off as a result of the cuts, which heavily contrib¥uted to increased class sizes TUITION continues on PAGE 2 nears the finish of ÒRusty Runs BastropÓ on Monday morning along the Colorado River Bridge.

An Occupy Austin protester, who chose to remain anonymous, sits Monday after¥noon on the stairs of City Hall, which are now covered with makeshift sleeping pads, pamphlets and posters. Entering its fifth day, Occupy Austin plans to create committees in order to begin making changes. Danielle Villasana Daily Texan Staff Occupy Austin members expand goals By Andrew Messamore Daily Texan Staff Though their united anger against political and financial institutions created Occupy Austin, their love for the cause is whatÕs keeping them together, said occupation member James Staton. Occupy Austin, the Austin associ¥ate of the Occupy Wall Street move¥ment, is part of a national protest against the Òmonied corruption of [AmericaÕs] democracy,Ó according to the Occupy Wall Street website. The protest peaked last Thursday when it started at a presence of 2,000, and the number of those living at Austin City Hall has risen to about 45 with fluctuating numbers throughout the day. As Occupy Austin enters its fifth day, the occupation is expanding beyond its general assemblies with streamlined meetings and an orga- OCCUPY continues on PAGE 2 @dailytexanonline.com Arab American prejudice still prevalent after Sept. 11 Professor discusses study using empirical research, delves deeper into issues By Lydia Herrera Daily Texan Staff The prejudice toward Arab Americans is still rampant in a post-9/11 world, said associ¥ate professor Germine Awad in a lecture on the ongoing bias in the U.S. against Middle Easterners. AwadÕs discussion was held Oct. 11 as a part of the College of CommunicationÕs Senior Fellows honors program, which hosts public lectures to foster interdis¥ciplinary dialogue with other de¥partments, said Senior Fellows director Dave Junker. Junker said the programÕs in¥troductory course is centered on the theme of 9/11 and American culture this semester. Junker said Awad takes an em¥pirical look at prejudice toward Arab Americans as well as other Middle Eastern Americans after 9/11 and brings to light the pop¥ulation of Arab Americans who are diverse in their experiences. ÒI think itÕs valuable to have empirical research that tries to quantify and assess preju¥dice, how often it occurs and in what ways beyond our kind of anecdotal understanding of this stuff,Ò Junker said. ÒIt helps to document the larger or deeper reality.Ó Awad said she remembers be¥ing a graduate student when she heard the news of 9/11 and feel¥ing a sense of shock and dismay sheÕs sure was felt by many Amer¥icans. She said she knew the re¥percussions would be bad for a lot of people.

WORLD&NATION 3 Wednesday, October 12, 2011 | THE DAILY TEXAN | Ashley Morgan, Wire Editor | dailytexanonline.com By Verena Dobnik The Associated Press NEW YORK Ñ Now itÕs person¥al: Hundreds of anti-Wall Street pro¥testers held a ÒMillionaires MarchÓ on Tuesday past the homes of some of the wealthiest executives in Amer¥ica, stopping to jeer ÒTax the rich!Ó and ÒWhereÕs my bailout?Ó Walking two-by-two on the side¥walk because they had no march per¥mit and didnÕt want to be charged with blocking traffic, members of the Occupy Wall Street movement and other groups made their way up ManhattanÕs East Side, along streets such as Fifth Avenue and Park Ave¥nue where some of the richest 1 per¥cent of the population live in town¥houses and luxury apartments. They paused outside buildings where media mogul Rupert Mur¥doch, banker Jamie Dimon and oil tycoon David Koch have homes, and decried the impending expiration of New YorkÕs 2 percent ÒmillionairesÕ taxÓ in December. ÒI have nothing against these people personally. I just think they should pay their fair share of taxes,Ó said Michael Pollack, an office work¥er in a law firm. He held up a sign with a saying attributed to depart¥ment store founder Edward Filene: ÒWhy shouldnÕt the American people take half my money from me? I took all of it from them.Ó For the past 3 1/2 weeks, protesters have besieged a park in lower Man¥hattan near Wall Street, denounc¥ing corporate greed and the gap be¥tween rich and poor. The uptown march marked the first time the Oc¥cupy Wall Street movement has iden¥tified specific people as being part of the 1 percent the demonstrators say are getting rich at the expense of the rest of America. When the march reached Park Av¥enue, protesters stopped in front of a building where they said Dimon, JP-Morgan ChaseÕs chairman and CEO, has an apartment. JPMorgan was among the banks that received a federal bailout, mon¥ey it has since repaid. Dimon got supportive words Mon¥day from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is himself a billionaire executive. Dimon has Òbrought more busi¥ness to this city than maybe any oth¥er banker in [the] modern day,Ó the mayor said. ÒTo go and picket him, I donÕt know what that achieves.Ó Outside one building, protest- Wall StreetÓ protests to billionaires David ers placed a giant replica of a check against the door. It was made out to ÒThe top one percentÓ for $5 billion Ñ the size of the impending state tax cut for wealthy New Yorkers. The protest in New York City came as the state comptroller issued a re¥port showing that Wall Street is again losing jobs because of global eco¥nomic woes. The industry shed 4,100 jobs in the late spring and summer and could lose nearly 10,000 more by the end of 2012, Comptroller Thom¥as DiNapoli said. Christopher Guerra, an artist and Occupy Wall Street protester from Newark, N.J., said the job losses arenÕt necessarily bad. ÒThat means more people on our side,Ó Guerra said. ÒIf they get shaft¥ed, they will realize that what we are saying is true.Ó Israeli man swapped, Palestinians released in prisoner exchange By Aron Heller & Dan Perry The Associated Press JERUSALEM Ñ In a much-an¥ticipated prisoner exchange that could have broad implications, Is¥rael and Hamas on Tuesday an¥nounced that an Israeli soldier abducted to Gaza five years ago would be swapped for about 1,000 Palestinians held by Israel and ac¥cused of militant activity. IsraelÕs government was conven¥ing Wednesday to approve the deal, but that seemed a formality after both Israeli Prime Minister Benja¥min Netanyahu and Hamas lead¥er Khaled Mashaal announced the agreement in televised comments. Netanyahu said the captured sol¥dier, Sgt. Gilad Schalit, would re¥turn home within days. Mashaal, portraying the agreement as a vic¥tory, said the Palestinian prisoners would be freed in two stages over two months. Hamas and Israel are bitter en¥emies. Hamas has sent dozens of suicide bombers into Israel, kill¥ing hundreds, and Israel blockad¥ed Gaza after Hamas seized pow¥er there in 2007, carrying out a large-scale invasion in 2009 to try to stop daily rocket attacks on Is¥rael. More than 1,500 Gaza Pales¥tinians have been killed in Israeli raids and airstrikes since the soldier was captured. In the northern Gaza town of Je¥baliya, thousands of Hamas sup¥porters flocked the streets, led by masked militants. Cars with loud¥speakers played praise for Hamas. Thousands of other Gazans rushed to their border with Egypt, clutch¥ing Palestinian and Egyptian flags, tossing flowers and cheering. 4 OPINION Wednesday, October 12, 2011 | THE DAILY TEXAN | Viviana Aldous, Editor-in-Chief | (512) 232-2212 | editor@dailytexanonline.com VIEWPOINT TPAC: Time we Pay Attention Carefully The Tuition Policy Advisory Committee will hold an open fo¥ rum today to provide students with an overview of the budget and of the tuition-setting process. Four students and five faculty and administrators comprise the committee, which was created in 2003 after the Texas Leg¥ islature deregulated tuition, allowing public universities rather than the state to set tuition rates. Tuition is set every two years. The committee makes recommendations to President William Powers Jr. on tuition policy after meeting regularly during the fall semester. Powers then presents his own recommendation to the Board of Regents, which ultimately sets tuition for the fol¥ lowing biennium. Despite its ÒadvisoryÓ role, the committee wields considerable power and influence over tuition policy at UT. After the commit¥ tee recommended in 2009 that tuition be raised by 3.95 percent per year for the following two years, Powers agreed and forward¥ ed the recommendations to the board, which finally increased tuition at UT-Austin by 3.95 percent. This year, a tuition-setting year, the committee will present recommendations on tuition policy that will affect the next two years. Committee meetings are not open to the public, and the com¥ mitteeÕs process is not at all transparent. The committee typically holds two open forums but only after releasing its initial recom¥ mendations. For the first time, however, the committee will hold an open forum before beginning its process, and it is imperative that students get involved in the discussion and the process from the beginning. Last spring, the 82nd Legislature cut millions in higher edu¥ cation funding, resulting in a $92-million reduction of UTÕs budget over the next biennium. Students need to provide the University with input as it prioritizes academics and other areas in the face of budget cuts. The College Tuition Budget Advisory Committees Ñ created last year to gather student input at the college level on budget-related issues Ñ will provide TPAC with their recommendations, which are largely based on student in¥ put. Whether TPAC will take them into consideration, however, is unclear. Deans and other administrators will likely push to increase tu¥ ition to mitigate the cutsÕ effects on academics at UT. For exam¥ ple, Gregory Fenves, dean of the Cockrell School of Engineering, suggested the school is pushing for a modest tuition increase as a last resort after the schoolÕs budget was cut by 17 percent in all areas except faculty salary, according to The Daily Texan. The Board of Regents, on the other hand, has expressed re¥ sistance to tuition increases. In fact, in a draft memorandum he wrote last spring, Board of Regents Chairman Gene Powell listed system-wide tuition reduction as one of his goals. Additionally, in his State of the University Address in Septem¥ ber, Powers challenged the University to increase its four-year graduation rate from 51 percent to 70 percent in five years. In his framework for advancing excellence released in August, UT Sys¥ tem Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa also included a plan to create tuition incentives to encourage students to graduate within four years. An attempt to increase the four-year graduation rate may come with tuition incentives, and this will likely become part of the tuition-related discussions. This is a critical time for UT, as administrators face pressure to reform higher education at the University without diminishing its quality. Because the committee has not yet decided whether it will hold another forum before releasing its initial recommenda¥ tions, todayÕs forum may be studentsÕ only opportunity to voice their budget-and tuition-related concerns to TPAC before it begins its process. The committee should hold more forums to garner and include student input in every step of its recommen¥ dation process. The forum will begin at 4 p.m. today in the Avaya Audito¥ rium, Room 2.302, of the ACES building. Ñ Viviana Aldous for the editorial board. By Samian Quazi Daily Texan Columnist More than 1,000 Austinites rallied in front of City Hall on Oct. 6 as part of the nationwide Occupy Wall Street movement. Chief among these protestersÕ grievances is that Wall Street and corporations have mo¥nopolized their interests Ñ and the nationÕs wealth Ñ to the detriment of the vast major¥ity of Americans. Class consciousness and hostility to the corporate elite isnÕt new, but Occupy Wall StreetÕs issues are acutely rele¥vant to UT students. UT should stand firmly behind the protesters and their cause. Ongoing protests in Manhattan, the nex¥us of the movement, featured thousands of mostly young protesters camped out for sev¥eral weeks in front of Wall Street landmarks such as the New York Stock Exchange. Banks became the central focus of the activistsÕ ire because they pushed millions of Americans to sign off on bad mortgages, but when mas¥sive housing foreclosures hit the market in early 2006, most of the affected Wall Street institutions were able to get taxpayer-fi¥nanced bailouts from the government. Much to the chagrin of Americans, the banking institutions re-emerged vibrant last year while efforts to help the public at large floundered. As the national unemploy¥ment rate remained mired above 9 percent, and countless AmericansÕ personal wealth fizzled while they tried to stay afloat, Wall Street deflected any attempt to repay the favor to Americans. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, which passed into law last year to curb the financial institutionsÕ excesses, was largely castrated through nu¥merous loopholes. It is thus in the context of indignation over the injustice of finance profiting off the Occupy Austin trickles down to students backs of the people that the Occupy Wall Street movement sprung forth. Yet com¥pared to the global media attention focused on New York City, the counterpart protests here in Austin are far more sedate. The roughly 1,200 demonstrators at City Hall and in front of Bank of AmericaÕs branch on Congress Avenue remained energetic but civil and respectful of their surrounding en¥vironment. APD even proudly reported that no arrests were made, according to The Daily Texan, dispelling any myths the protests were centered around hooliganism or criminality. A strong contingent of the nationwide grassroots movement has been college stu¥dents and recent graduates. Similar to many UT students, this segment faces mounting student loan debts upon graduation and a chronically anemic job market that dampens their ability to pay back those loans. For the past decade, the student loan mar¥ket has emerged as a microcosm of the mid¥2000s housing market. At a time when the nation had not yet entered recession, both banks and the federal government were keen on lending ever-increasing amounts of money to students with the expectation that remuneration would be easy after these stu¥dents graduated. But when the job market suddenly went sour, college students faced the prospect of struggling for decades to pay back these loans. Yet as the loans continue piling on, any suggestion that Wall Street in turn bails out these students is immediately shelved from public discussion. Even the idea that student loans should be capped after a fixed amount per borrower would bring howls of protest. WouldnÕt some students be priced out of borrowing to go to UT, for instance, if there were more lending regulations? Perhaps. But the odds are still greater that a given student would face even greater pain to their credit¥ability as they were unable to find good jobs after graduation. The easy access to credit vis-ˆ-vis student loans has only exacerbated the problem of skyrocketing tuition. College costs have been grossly inflated precisely because stu¥dents have more and more loaned monies to pay the price. Without such a debt-fuelled educational system, UT students would eventually see tuition rates stabilize and per¥haps even drop, even if the financial sector loses out. Distrust of financial institutions among young people is a legacy of the recession, and it is evidently reflected in the Occupy Wall Street protests. In June, SmartMoney magazine reported that skepticism of banks among teens was widespread: 75 percent re¥ported the stock market was ÒriggedÓ in favor of the banks, and 83 percent agreed with the statement that banks are Òmostly interested in getting my money through hidden fees.Ó What really grates Millennials such as myself is how Wall Street can rob our gen¥eration of hopes of future prosperity. As the American middle class keeps on shrinking, Wall Street has encouraged corporations to peddle more so-called Òeasy creditÓ and un¥tenable financing options instead of pressing for real wage increases. I wonÕt pretend that an increasingly regu¥lated financial sector may strip us of many consumerist illusions of prosperity we see today. But until Wall Street as an institu¥tion is given boundaries, more and more UT graduates may see even middle-class futures out of reach for them and their kin entirely. Austin and UT should stand behind the pro¥tests, for us and for our futures. Quazi is a nursing graduate student.

Policy professor talks government security By Megan Strickland Daily Texan Staff Balking recent trends of demand¥ing transparency, Joshua Rovner, an associate professor of strategy and policy at the U.S. Naval War Col¥lege, said intelligence entities should restrict access to secret national se¥curity information to prevent ex¥ploitation of insider knowledge by politicians. The political use of security in¥telligence to sway voters was a mis¥use of the intelligence commu¥nity, Rovner said at a talk Thurs¥day hosted by the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law. ÒIntelligence is there to help policymakers make sense of am¥biguous situations,Ó Rovner said. ÒItÕs not there for public infor¥mation. The media is there for public information.Ó Rovner cited the inappropriate use of intelligence by the Lyndon B. Johnson administration in the Viet¥nam War and the George W. Bush administration in the 2003 invasion of Iraq as key eras of intelligence turmoil. In the case of Iraq, a very interesting set of data emerged as a result of political pressure on the intelligence community, Rovner said. ÒBy 2003, [Americans] were con¥vinced that Iraq had an unconven¥tional weapons program,Ó Rovner said. ÒThis is weird because from 1998 until 2002, we didnÕt have any information on Iraq.Ó The intelligence community should have reassessed the situa¥tion once information about IraqÕs nuclear capabilities became evident in 2003, Rovner said. ÒInspectors start arriving back in 2003,Ó Rovner said. ÒThey were scouring the country. Iraq had no way of stopping them, and [the in¥spectors] had advanced technology. They came up with nothing.Ó But political pundits had already begun to take advantage of the er¥roneous allegations that Iraq was armed with weapons with mass de¥struction by this time, Rovner said. ÒThey were rushing to sell us this war,Ó Rovner said. ÒNo serious reas¥sessment took place. The march to war was on.Ó Rovner said Òthe intelligence community would have never provided those estimates of IraqÕs weapon of mass destruction pro¥gram without feeling the polit¥ical push of the Bush adminis¥tration after questions arose sug¥gesting invading Iraq was not a good idea. He said limiting polit¥ical access in the future to securi¥ty intelligence can prevent it from being politicized. Robert Hutchings, dean of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Pub¥lic Affairs and former chairman of the National Intelligence Coun¥cil, said he disagreed with Rovner about the need to increase secrecy. ÒI think the solution may be to open up the process a little bit with greater legislative participa¥tion,Ó Hutchings said. ÒThe [weap¥ons of mass destruction] report was viewed by six senators. There were not hearings. Essentially, we went to war without Congress reviewing the facts.Ó Graduate public affairs stu¥dent Brooke Russell said she agreed with RovnerÔs views on intelligence security. ÒI think itÕs easy for intelligence to politicized,Ó Russell said. To keep intelligence from be¥ing misused by politicians, Rovner said it should not be released widely to the public where it can be manipulated. ÒTake intelligence out of the public sphere,Ó Rovner said. ÒI think broad¥ening access to intelligence increases the chances of leaks. It decreases the chances of talking about what weÕre looking at objectively, and instead, it becomes political football.Ó NEWS BRIEFLY Hook the Vote rally postponed because of lack of interest, funds The Hook the Vote registration ral¥ly for voters, originally scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday morning, has been postponed until second semester. The rally is tentatively scheduled for March, the same month as the presidential primaries, said Dana Henning, Student Government agen¥cy director for Hook the Vote. SG postponed the rally because there was not enough funding and not enough interest, she said. Because of the Voter ID Bill, which went into effect September 2011, stu¥dents are now required to either vote in their hometowns or change their drivers license addresses to the coun¥ty they wish to vote in, Henning said. Because of this, there has been confu¥sion about registering to vote. ÒThe March rally will be a day¥long, traditional Hook the Vote rally,Ó Henning said. ÒBy then, weÕll hope¥fully know more about whatÕs going on in the republican field, and weÕll have more resources for students who want to register.Ó Travis County does not col¥lect numbers of registered voters based on age or where they attend school, so there isnÕt a way to track how many UT students are actual¥ly registered, said Debbie Wise, di¥rector of early voting at the Flawn Academic Center.

ItÕs tough to put into context the impact cornerback Quandre Diggs has had on this team. Yes, he had a rough go-around Satur¥day against OUÕs Ryan Broyles, but heÕs been a big presence in the secondary this year and itÕs tough to imagine where the pass defense might be without him. Elisabeth Dillon | Daily Texan Staff Freshman cornerback Quandre Diggs returns a kick against Oklahoma, in a 55-17 loss on Saturday in the Cotton Bowl. the Month for September, finished seventh overall with a score of 216 (E). Frittelli had placed second in each of the LonghornsÕ first two tour¥naments of 2011, and his consistency so far this season has impressed Tex¥as head coach John Fields. ÒDylan set some major goals for himself this fall and has played ex¥tremely well against tough fields and challenging courses,Ó Fields said. for us and gives us some options.Ó The change will alter the lineup significantly, allowing Texas to be as flexible as possible with the rota¥tions they have on the court for the offensive and defensive situations. McNealÕs return will shorten the playing time of a few of her team¥mates though; most notably Bailey MCNEAL continues on PAGE 7 ÒThe seasonÕs not over, and neither are the goals he wants to accom¥plish.

The most important fresh¥man on this team though has been running back Malcolm Brown. He has a chance at gain¥ing 1,000 yards and gives the Longhorns a rushing attack they havenÕt had since 2007. 3.

SPORTS BRIEFLY Entire Astros staff back for 2012 after Brocail, Barnett re-sign HOUSTON Ñ The entire Hous¥ton Astros coaching staff will re¥main intact for next season after the team agreed to one-year contracts with pitching coach Doug Bro¥cail and hitting coach Mike Barnett on Tuesday. The Astros signed manager Brad Mills, third base coach Dave Clark, first base coach Bobby Meacham, bench coach Al Pedrique and bull¥pen coach Jamie Quirk to two¥year contracts at the end of last season that run through the 2012 season. The franchise also holds an option for the 2013 season on MillsÕ contract. Brocail has worked as interim pitching coach since June 14 when the Astros fired Brad Arnsberg. Brocail spent 15 seasons pitching in the majors before retiring in 2009. Barnett has worked for the Astros since Nov. 2010 after working as the teamÕs minor league hitting co¥ordinator. The Astros finished with a ma¥jor-league worst 56-106 record for the first 100-loss season in franchise history.

German, a 25-year-old vid¥eo game artist, knows what it is like to be rejected. Only two years ago, he was the guy in the bar who could not pick up a girl. Us¥ing those past experiences, Ger¥man began to analyze his mis¥takes with the help of a few men¥tors. He figured out what he was doing wrong and eventually be¥came the guy who is playing the game the right way. ÒI had an Italian father and from day one he was teaching me how to talk to women,Ó German said. ÒThe difficult part was not getting punched in the face by her boyfriend.Ó But now he is trying to help others who have trouble talking to women. ÒWhen a guy gets rejected by a girl, he feels like he wants to quit,Ó German said. ÒWhat I do is I say, ÔThere is a problem here. LetÕs find what that problem is and come up with a goal to reach.ÕÓ His free weekly meetings on Mondays at 9 p.m. at Crown and Anchor Pub last only about 30 minutes because according to German, the most important part of picking up women is actually going out there and doing it. At the pub, the men talk about their problems and experiences. Ger¥man gives some advice and lis¥tens, then the group heads out to put GermanÕs advice to the test. After each pick-up attempt, Ger¥man critiques the men. UT communication profes¥sor John Daly notes that if there is one rule in successfully talk¥ing to women, it is to avoid be¥ing creepy. ÒDonÕt push too hard,Ó Daly said. ÒThat scares people.Ó According to German, there are two rules to follow that will help any guy avoid the creep fac¥tor. First, if you make eye contact, do not stare. Second, if you see a girl you are interested in, get in her field of vision, make eye con¥tact for no more than two seconds and then say hello to her as well as her friends. ÒSome men come at girls so in¥tensely that itÕs almost as if they are hunting,Ó German said. The men that German helps all have different problems, but one common thread ties them togeth¥er: They need help learning to talk to women. A common prob¥lem tends to be when a man is too touchy-feely with a girl. German tells men to simply have a casu¥al conversation with a woman before lightly touching her hand when the moment feels right, and she feels comfortable. Many have only tried Inter¥net dating and only know how to communicate via email. When a MENÕS PICK¥UP GUIDE According to Dominic German, Pick-Up Artist Make eye contact, but donÕt stare.

ÒWar of the WorldviewsÓ pits two writers against each other, each with a different idea of what reali¥ty means and how to investigate it. On the side of spirituality, we have Deepak Chopra, author or co-au¥thor of more than 65 books, and on the side of materialistic science, thereÕs Leonard Mlodinow, a mathe¥matical physicist whoÕs worked with Stephen Hawking, among others. The book offers them various topics, such as ÒWhat is the nature of time?Ó and allows one of the au¥thors to spend a chapter offering his position on the topic while the other author is given the following chap¥ter to offer his position and rebut¥tal. The structure works well, and at least as far as presentation is con¥cerned, neither Chopra nor Mlodi¥now is given an unfair advantage. The major problem with the book, however, and what gives Mlo¥dinowÕs opinion more credence, is that he represents the specific views of a large body of people Ñ in other words, while scientific knowledge constantly changes and heated de¥bates occur within the community, the overall worldview is fairly con¥sistent compared to that of all of the people who fall under the Òspiritu¥alÓ umbrella. Chopra has a specific idea of what spirituality is to him (though itÕs never clearly defined on the page), and takes stances that many other spiritualists will dismiss as being silly and not accurately rep¥resenting their beliefs. So even if one comes away from the booking thinking that Mlodinow successful¥ly defended the scientific worldview against ChopraÕs spiritualism, it says nothing about how it would fare against the beliefs of the guy down the street. Chopra also has difficulty with clearly defining what heÕs talking about in general. He dismisses for¥mal religion and embraces spiritual¥ity but never explains how they dif¥fer. In addition, he redefines words on the fly to mean whatever he feels like they should, often saying things that sound more like poetry than a consistent belief system. ThereÕs certainly a place for poet¥ry in life, but in science, as well as formal debates, we assign a specific meaning to the word ÒaliveÓ to dis¥tinguish certain things from others. There may be some gray area when considering things like viruses, but thereÕs no argument that a grazing deer is alive, while the rock beside it is not. At one point in ÒWar of the Worldviews,Ó Chopra argues that not only is a rock alive but so is ev¥erything else in the universe as well as the universe itself. If youÕre go¥ing to let a word mean something so broad that it literally describes everything, then thereÕs not much point using it in the first place. As such, ChopraÕs position is un¥clear and often full of hand wav¥ing, distorting scientific theories VIEW continues on PAGE 11 War of the Worldviews: Science vs. Spirituality Deepak Chopra & Leonard Mlodinow Genre: Science/Spirituality For those who like: The Varieties of Scientific Experi¥ence, The Secret Grade: C ALBUM REVIEW Guitar, vocal skills unite eclectic album By Robert Starr Daily Texan Staff Give a pretty girl a guitar and tell her sing to about heartache, and that seems like all you need to make a solid pop album. Or at least it seems that easy when that girl is Rachael Yamagata. Her latest album, Chesapeake, is a collection of all the usual pop staples about the lovesick blues and the moments that make the struggle worthwhile. Although it doesnÕt break any new ground, itÕs good enough that it doesnÕt need to. Reunited with John Alag’a, who produced her first record, Happenstance, Yamagata of¥fers 10 songs, each with a dif¥ferent enough sound to keep the album from becoming mo¥notonous. While a song such as ÒStarlightÓ might fit in on a Muse record with its distort¥ed guitar sound, itÕs immedi¥ately followed by a syncopat¥ed Jack Johnson-esque rhythm guitar in ÒSaturday Morning,Ó and later on in the album, we get ÒStick Around,Ó which has a Norah Jones bare-bones jazzy feel to it. We refer to this genre-jux¥taposition as Òpop music,Ó and it has the danger of alienating listeners if the songs are too different. However, Yamaga¥taÕs voice and introspective lyrics give the songs a sense of semblance, so even as the album jumps around the re¥cord store, thereÕs still a feel¥ing of cohesiveness that it all belongs together. The highlight of the record is ÒThe Way It Seems to Go,Ó which is catchy and has a sound that perhaps can be described as industrial country, but that doesnÕt quite do it justice. The songÕs protagonist describes herself as one who would Òtake tragedy over a fairy taleÓ and is Òan expert of the silver lining.Ó The upbeat tempo and major chords seem to suggest some¥one who embraces tragedy but in a very playful tone. And though some tracks are more exciting than others, thereÕs not a dud in the bunch. Chesapeake is more of an album than just a collection of songs, begging to be listened to in its entirety. In terms of the indi¥vidual tracks, nothing match¥es ÒWorn Me DownÓ from her first album, but this third of¥fering provides a more consis¥tent experience than Yamaga¥taÕs previous two. Still, itÕs unlikely that Chesa¥peake will be her breakout al¥bum.

From the eerily mesmerizing and powerful voice of lead sing¥er Nona Marie Invie to the bandÕs exotic blend of folk and contem¥porary with New Orleans jazz, Eastern European folk and tra¥ditional instruments, critics had good things to say. The full lengthÕs first single, ÒDaydreaming,Ó even had spots on popular TV shows, including ÒGreyÕs AnatomyÓ and ÒAmeri¥can Idol.Ó The bandÕs third album is currently in production.
