ÔÔ Quote to note I want to use the CD to bring the theremin back as an instrument. A lot of people see it as just a tool for sci-fi movies. I feel it hasnÕt had due justice as a musical instrument.

The UT System Board of Regents voted to give UTMB President David Callender the power to negotiate a transition plan to limit or discontinue UTMBÕs relationship with the Texas Department of Crimi¥nal Justice in providing these services to inmates by Dec. 31, 2012. Financial risk is the main is¥sue threatening the relation¥ship, according to a UTMB press release. The partner¥ship began in 1994 to provide health care to about 80 percent of the stateÕs inmates, accord¥ing to the institutionÕs website. ÒNegotiations have reached an impasse,Ó UTMB President David Callender said in a press release Oct. 13. Callender said a prelimi¥nary proposal Òdoes not seek to eliminate jobsÓ and instead suggests the transfer of some UTMB personnel to the Texas Department of Criminal Jus¥tice. ÒWe will recommend that UTMB continue to manage Hospital Galveston and contin¥ue to accept TDCJ inpatients there,Ó Callender said in the press release. ÒWe must, how¥ever, have an agreement where TDCJ will pay UTMB the cost of providing this care.Ó Ñ Liz Farmer By Liz Farmer Daily Texan Staff University faculty raised con¥cerns about inconsistencies with the interactive MyEdu website and about how student feedback on the site will be used in fac¥ulty evaluations. Multiple fac¥ulty members voiced questions and turned focus to the websiteÕs partnership with the UT System at a Faculty Council meeting on Monday. The $10 million system-wide partnership with the website is an effort to increase graduation rates by helping students navi¥gate through their degree plans with online advising. UT Presi¥dent William Powers Jr. said the Board of Regents presented the partnership to him and the oth¥er UT System presidents after it was made. Powers said since the UT Sys¥tem Board of Regents already made the solo decision to en¥ter the partnership, the main di¥rection of the site is out of his hands. ÒWould I have had different priorities for that money? Yes,Ó Powers said. ÒWe didnÕt choose to bring this to the campus.Ó Powers said information about individual professors can be use¥ful to help University adminis¥tration determine actions like pay raises, tenure or the distribu¥tion of research space. However, he said it may not be appropriate to display publicly on MyEdu.

ÒWe chose to do a Harry Pot¥ter-themed Halloween because we know that there is a large Har¥ry Potter fan base here on cam¥pus, and since our programs are aimed directly at the UT student community, we figured that stu¥dents would really enjoy an event like this,Ó Allison said.

Security cameras keep an eye on 6th Victoria Montalvo | Daily Texan Staff paid for by the Austin Down¥town Business Alliance, Co¥chran said. The cameras are housed inside a bulletproof en¥closure and are designed to be highly visible to people on the street. Recorded footage from the cameras is stored for seven days and streamed wirelessly to a monitoring station where at least one person is always on duty. ÒWe are hoping that if peo¥ple just know about the camer¥as, it will deter crime,Ó Lt. Co¥chran said. CAMERA continues on PAGE 2 By Nick Hadjigeorge Daily Texan Staff Seventeen High Activity Lo¥cation Observation security cameras were installed along Sixth Street last Friday, aimed at thwarting crime and will ex¥pand to include a total of 26 cameras by next week, Austin Police Department Lt. Patrick Cochran said. Cochran said the camera system known as HALO has already been used to identify one person involved in an as¥sault, but hopes that the cam¥eras will mostly be used to pre¥vent crimes rather than record them happening. ÒWe would rather deter crime than have to deal with actual crimes in the first place,Ó Cochran said. ÒBut if a crime does happen, then we can have some evidence to catch the criminal.Ó Cochran said the cameras were installed before Hallow¥een weekend, not because they were expecting many crimes, but because they wanted the opportunity to test the camer¥as on a busy weekend. The cameras cost a total of about $250,000 and were Biology Freshman Kyra Malicse tries on a fake moustache given out by the Interfraternity Council in honor of ÔMovember.Õ CONTACT US Main Telephone: (512) 471-4591 Editor: Viviana Aldous (512) 232-2212 editor@dailytexanonline.com Managing Editor: Lena Price (512) 232-2217 managingeditor@ dailytexanonline.com News O¥ce: (512) 232-2207 news@dailytexanonline.com Retail Advertising: (512) 471-1865 joanw@mail.utexas.edu ClassiÞed Advertising: (512) 471-5244 classiÞeds@dailytexanonline.com FOR THE RECORD Correction: Because of a reporting error, FridayÕs page 6 news story about Ronya Kozmetsky misidentiÞed Kerri Battles, a public a¥¥airs specialist, as an LBJ School spokeswoman.

ÒHaving installed if people didnÕt want more eyes everywhere to see them. MYEDU continues from PAGE 1 that the student attended that class,Ó Evans said. ÒComments can come from anybody.Ó Computer science professor Alan Cline said faculty concern with MyEdu began years before the partnership, when it start¥ed posting class grade distribu¥tions. He said the faculty wor¥ried it would lead to grade in¥flation. Cline said MyEdu will not help to improve graduation rates because advising is not the issue, but instead, the is¥sue is the need for money to hire more faculty and teach¥ing assistants to provide additional classes. ÒStudents are finding that theyÕre having difficulty get¥ting through because they canÕt get the classes they need,Ó Cline said. Powers said the UT System chancellor made it clear that MyEdu will be a Òlocal optionÓ for each of the UT institutions. He said this means UT-Austin will be able to partially adjust the site for some of the issues faculty are worried about. ÒIf there are tools that we donÕt find educationally sound, weÕll turn them off,Ó Powers said. Powers said the information available to students on MyEdu will not be used to judge pro¥fessors because the University has its own course evaluations. ÒWe are not going to use in¥accurate information in any evaluation process,Ó Powers said. ÒI canÕt say what decisions students will make.Ó POTTER continues from PAGE 1 Preparation for this event began in August as Allison, the commit¥tee chairs and vice presidents of the SEC discussed how to put the idea of a Harry Potter Fest into ac¥tion and to make it an event that was worthwhile for UT students, she said. ÒIt was a lot of fun planning out the different events that we have for the day,Ó Allison said. ÒWe wanted things to be fun but also educational, so each committee in the SEC worked together and came up with creative ways we could reach this goal.Ó The ÒDefense Against the Dark Campus ArtsÓ class was one that was intended to be both fun and educational, Allison said. In this event, the SEC joined forces with UTPD to put on drunk driving demonstrations and a workshop on the Rape Aggression Defense classes that are offered on campus, he said. ÒI donÕt know if many students actually know that they have these types of resources on cam¥pus, but I think after the demon¥strations students will be able to take away something very valu¥able that they can use both in¥side and outside the classroom,Ó Allison said. Many students attending the event made sure to dress in the appropriate attire of a Hog¥warts student so they could have the full experience, said ra¥dio-television-film sophomore Skylar Moran. ÒI always thought that the SAC looked like a high-tech Hogwarts, so I was really excited about the event being held here,Ó Moran said. ÒItÕs Halloween, and I already had my Harry Potter costume, so I was really excited to be here to celebrate.Ó Throughout the event, the Har¥ry Potter films were on display, and the famous Harry Potter film score played throughout the build¥ing for students to enjoy. ÒItÕs a fun way to relax and cel¥ebrate Harry Potter,Ó said advertis¥ing senior Martin Munoz. ÒNow that the Harry Potter books and movies are over, itÕs a great way to keep it alive.Ó SHAVE continues from PAGE 1 Council website and receive donations. President Chris Felicetta said the IFC, which represents all 23 Greek fraternities, hopes to sign up more than half of the 2,200 council members this November. Three hundred members sport¥ed moustaches to raise $10,000 for the Movember charity in 2010, the first year the month¥long event was run on campus, Felicetta said. ÒWeÕre asking our members Greek-wide to grow facial hair, make a profile on the web page and then raise money for prostate cancer,Ó Felicetta said. ÒThis is our big philanthropy of the semester.Ó Female students can also par¥ticipate by signing up as ÒMo-Sis¥tersÓ to help take donations and raise awareness, Felicetta said. Vice-president Matthew Ziem¥nicki said he didnÕt believe young men were aware of how com¥mon and serious prostate cancer can be. ÒI didnÕt know much about it myself until I started this cam¥paign,Ó Ziemnicki said. ÒIt hap¥pens to one out of every six males. It is out there and it doesnÕt get enough press, and weÕre just do¥ing our part.Ó More than 240,000 men have US cuts UNESCO funding over Palestinian decision By Bradley Klapper & Matthew Lee Associated Press WASHINGTON Ñ The Obama administration on Mon¥day cut off funding for the U.N. cultural agency, after its mem¥ber countries defied an Ameri¥can warning and approved a Pal¥estinian bid for full membership in the body. The lopsided vote to admit Palestine as a member of UNES-CO, which only the United States and 13 other countries opposed, triggered a long-standing con¥gressional ban on U.S. funding to U.N. bodies that recognize Pales¥tine as a state before an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal is reached. The State Department said a $60 million payment to UNESCO scheduled for November would not be made as a result, and U.S. officials warned of a ÒcascadeÓ effect at other U.N. bodies that might follow UNESCOÕs lead. ÒTodayÕs vote by the member states of UNESCO to admit Pal¥estine as a member is regretta¥ble, premature, and undermines our shared goal of a comprehen¥sive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East,Ó State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters. She said the U.S. remained committed to UNES-CO and its goals, which include the promotion of science, edu¥cation and culture, and that the administration would work with Congress to preserve U.S. inter¥ests and influence in the body. But, while Nuland said the U.S. would maintain its member¥ship and participation in UNES-CO, the organizationÕs internal rules will strip Washington of its vote if it is delinquent in paying its dues for two years. It is not clear how U.S. mem¥bership would work in the in¥terim, especially since UNESCO depends heavily on U.S. funding. The U.S. provides 22 percent of its budget Ñ roughly $80 mil¥lion a year Ñ but has survived without it in the past: The Unit¥ed States pulled out of UNESCO under President Ronald Reagan and rejoined two decades lat¥er under President George W. Bush. Of potential greater concern to the administration is the possibil¥ity that the Palestinians, buoyed by the 107-14 vote in their fa¥vor at UNESCO, will apply for membership in other U.N. orga¥nizations that the United States values, like the World Intellec¥tual Property Organization, the World Health Organization, the International Civil Aviation Or¥ganization, or the International Atomic Energy Agency. ÒWe donÕt see any benefit, and we see considerable potential damage, if this move is replicat¥ed in other U.N. organizations,Ó Nuland said. ÒWe are trying to make clear what the implications for us, what the implications for these organizations are, of the move that the Palestinians start¥ed here. And we are hoping that this will end here and we can get back to the peace talks because that is the place where weÕre go¥ing to be able to achieve the as¥pirations of the Palestinian peo¥ple.Ó Senior State Department offi¥cials were meeting Monday with executives from numerous high¥tech firms to consider options if the U.S. is forced to restrict its participation in the World In¥tellectual Property Organiza¥tion, which sets global stan¥dards for copyrights and adju¥dicates cross-border patent dis¥putes. ÒWe need to make sure that our companies understand the implications of whatÕs hap¥pened and begin that conversa¥tion with them.Ó The UNESCO vote was a fall¥back for the Palestinian leader¥ship that presented its plan for U.N. recognition as a state and full membership in the glob¥al body in September. Israel has fiercely opposed the bid, and it has no chance of passing be¥cause the Obama administration has promised to veto any resolu¥tion in the Security Council. NEWS BRIEFLY Occupy Austin demonstrators regroup following arrests Members of the Occupy Aus¥tin movement have not been de¥terred by recent arrests, as they have made accommodations to continue their protest, despite lo¥cal law enforcement policies. The 38 organization members arrested during Halloween week¥end were later released, but not without restrictions. Arrest war¥rants issued included public in¥toxication, as well as trespassing. Some who were arrested for crim¥inal trespassing are no longer al¥lowed to convene on ground at City Hall. The group held a gen¥eral assembly meeting on the evening of Halloween to discuss issues with law enforcement pol¥icies, safety while protesting and improving Occupy Austin living conditions. Occupy Austin sup¥porters have moved their gen¥eral assembly meetings to the grassy median between City Hall and Town Lake in order to allow those not permitted on City Hall grounds to attend meetings. Occupy Austin supporter Sa¥mantha ÒMamaÓ Trevino said she witnessed several arrests and was concerned with the way po¥lice treated those taken into cus¥tody. Trevino said she witnessed an arrest that left detainees with bruises. ÒI think theyÕre trying to get rid of us,Ó Trevino said. ÒIt hurts, but IÕm here for a purpose.Ó Occupy Austin supporter Col¥by Wendeborn was one of the 38 arrested over the weekend, and said he feels he is participating in the protests for a significant purpose. Wendeborn said he and many others arrested appear in several videos the group has up¥loaded to YouTube in hopes of raising awareness to the issue of law enforcement policies he be¥lieves are wrong. ÒThe arrests needed to hap¥pen to bring everyone togeth¥er,Ó Wendeborn said. ÒWhen I got out of jail, I thought Austin would be in uproar, but noth¥ing has happened. These are the things people need to see.Ó Ñ Jillian Bliss ÒWe tried to put cameras at 12th and Chicon,Ó Lt. Cochran said, Òbut they didnÕt want any cameras there, so we werenÕt going to force them.Ó Germanic studies graduate student Ryan Dux said the se¥curity cameras represent the cityÕs distrust for the people to report and prevent crimes on their own. ÒI would see more purpose for cameras in dark alleys and places where people are un¥able to see well,Ó Dux said. ÒNot the busiest streets where you would hope people would report the crimes themselves.Ó THE DAILY TEXAN The Daily Texan Mail Subscription Rates One Semester (Fall or Spring) $60.00 Two Semesters (Fall and Spring) 120.00 Summer Session 40.00 One Year (Fall, Spring and Summer) 150.00 To charge by VISA or MasterCard, call 471-5083.

The ring is believed be tied to the Sinaloa cartel Ñ MexicoÕs most powerful Ñ and responsible for smuggling more than 3.3 mil¥lion pounds of marijuana, 20,000 pounds of cocaine and 10,000 pounds of heroin into the U.S. through Arizona over the past five years, according to U.S. Immigra¥tion and Customs Enforcement. Their efforts in that time gen¥erated an estimated $2 billion, ac¥cording to ICE. ICEÕs Homeland Security In¥vestigations and the Pinal Coun¥ty SheriffÕs Office arrested 22 sus¥pected smugglers tied to the ring on Thursday, the latest of three busts they say have brought it down following a 17-month in¥vestigation dubbed ÒOperation Pipeline Express.Ó In the three busts combined, the agencies have arrested 76 sus¥pected smugglers and seized more than 61,000 pounds of pot, about 160 pounds of heroin, about 210 pounds of cocaine, nearly $760,000 in cash, and 108 weap¥ons, including assault rifles and shotguns. The other busts came in mid-September and mid-October. Although the agencies released some information about Thurs¥dayÕs bust last week, they held back most of their information for a Monday news conference in which they displayed dozens of guns and hundreds of pounds of pot seized for members of the media. The smuggling ring operated by using backpackers and vehicles to move drugs from the border to a network of so-called stash hous¥es in the Phoenix area. The drugs were then sold to distributors from states across the country. Authorities say the ring vir¥tually monopolized smuggling routes along an 80-mile section of the Arizona-Mexico border from Yuma to just east of the small Tohono OÕodham Nation town of Sells. Some of the officials at the news conference in Phoenix lauded the bust as a significant blow to the Sinaloa cartel, while others ac¥knowledged that it affects only a portion of the cartelÕs massive op¥eration, which still has cells oper¥ating in the state. ÒItÕs a body blow but it doesnÕt knock them out by any sense of the imagination,Ó Pinal Coun¥ty Sheriff Paul Babeau said. ÒThis literally is just a fraction of whatÕs going on.Ó ItÕs only a matter of time before either the Sinaloa cartel or another operation reclaims the area affect¥ed by the bust, said Matthew Al¥len, ICEÕs special agent in charge for Arizona. ÒThis is not a closing chapter in this book,Ó he said. ÒWe have ev¥ery expectation that command and control in Mexico is working to re-establish their presence, and itÕs our job to go after them.Ó Authorities began investigating the smuggling ring in June 2010, when a Pinal County sheriff Õs deputy stopped two smugglers hauling 1,500 pounds of pot in Stanfield, about 50 miles south of Phoenix. At least one of the smug¥glers gave investigators detailed information about the ring. Allen said that those arrested range from low-level drug haul¥ers and scouts to those who were in command. ÒThis is how you attack inter¥national organized crime and transnational criminal organiza¥tions, by focusing on the people, after concerns of violence By Cassandra Vinograd The Associated Press LONDON Ñ The Dean of St. PaulÕs Cathedral quit Mon¥day, the second high-profile clergy member to step down over anti-capitalist protests that have spilled across the his¥toric churchÕs grounds. The resignation of Graeme Knowles leaves the cathedral without a leader and will delay its planned legal action to evict the protest camp Ñ though the neighborhoodÕs govern¥ing body says it will formal¥ly ask the protesters Tuesday to leave, and will go to court if they refuse. Knowles said his posi¥tion had become ÒuntenableÓ as criticism of the cathedral mounted in the press and in public opinion. Knowles had urged protesters to leave the cathedral area to allow it to re¥open its doors.

But in a statement on the Occupy Lon¥don website, the movement said it had never called for any ÒscalpsÓ from the clergy. ÒOur cause has never been directed at the staff of the ca¥thedral,Ó the group said. It called for an Òopen and trans¥parent dialogueÓ between demonstrators and those urg¥ing campers to move. Knowles, 60, called the past two weeks a Òtesting timeÓ and said his decision to step down did not come easily. ÒSince the arrival of the pro¥testersÕ camp outside the cathe¥dral, we have all been put un¥der a great deal of strain and have faced what would appear to be some insurmountable is¥sues,Ó he said in a statement. ÒI hope and pray that under new leadership these issues might continue to be addressed and that there might be a swift and peaceful resolution.Ó St. PaulÕs officials said Knowles made his decision known on Sunday night and has already re¥moved himself from operations. Both the church and the lo¥cal authority, the City of London Corporation, announced last week they were going to court to clear scores of tents from a pe¥destrianized square and footpath outside the cathedral. But cathedral spokesman Rob Marshall said legal proceed¥ings had not yet started, and the governing chapter Òis now dis¥cussing a range of options in the wake of the resignation of the dean.Ó 4 OPINION Tuesday, November 1, 2011 | THE DAILY TEXAN | Viviana Aldous, Editor-in-Chief | (512) 232-2212 | editor@dailytexanonline.com Plastic bags as model to forgo the bottle Stephanie Eisner | Daily Texan Staff By Larisa Manescu Daily Texan Columnist An open forum held last week focused on the proposed citywide plastic bag ban, which aims to reduce the amount of waste in the environment and cut city spending on cleanup programs. Various interest groups have debated the issue for months, and City Council will introduce a draft of the legislation in early November outlining such a ban. Amid the push for more environmentally friendly bags, Austini¥tes have given little attention to reducing bottled water purchases. In 2008, pitchers of water replaced bottles of water at City Hall Meetings. While this represents a minor step taken by city officials, few have followed their lead. The city has focused more on recycling water bottles rather than reducing their sales, as evidenced by cer¥tain initiatives put forward to aid the recycling process, including widespread, accessible recycling containers and the confiscation of empty bottles at concert venues. Environmentalists often refer to the phrase Òreduce, reuse and recycleÓ to promote their message. However for water bottles, Òre¥duceÓ is the most productive of these three verbs and the one that should be heavily advocated for. While recycling seems like a viable option, the reality is that only about 15 percent of Òcustom plas¥tic bottles, which include water, juice, tea and sports drinksÓ are recycled annually, according to the Container Recycling Institute. Reusing plastic water bottles is not a safe option, as heavy reuse can cause the dangerous leakage of certain chemicals in the plastic container into the water. Additionally, the heavy carbon footprint that results from manu¥facturing water bottles for consumer convenience is unsustainable. Former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who ordered all city departments and agencies to stop buying bottled water in 2007, told MSNBC that 47 million gallons of oil are consumed annually to produce the bottles. Former Austin Mayor Will Wynn previously expressed that Austin should set a national example for reducing plastic bottle use and that he would consider a ban on most city purchases of bottled water. Progressive movement from the city government has been slow, however. The bottled water industry is extremely powerful and immense. According to Tom Lauria, vice president of communications for the International Bottled Water Association, the industryÕs revenues in¥clude $9 billion in stateside sales. However, action to reduce bottled water purchases can be initiated from the bottom Ñ at the consum¥er level. There is no justifiable reason why personal consumption of bottled water cannot be reduced. Consumers should realize that reducing their purchases would not only aid the environment but also benefit them by putting money back into their wallets. The consumersÕ fixed mindset regarding bottled water is a bizarre phenomenon. A taste test called the ÒTap Water Challenge,Ó carried out earlier this year by American UniversityÕs Office of Sustainabili¥ty and Corporate Accountability International, shed light on the in¥distinguishable taste difference between tap water and bottled wa¥ter. The test was particularly targeted at members of Congress, who spend approximately $1 million per year on bottled water. Many Universities across the nation have had similar awareness projects, including University of MarylandÕs ÒTap ThatÓ program, whose goal was to eliminate the preconception that bottled water tastes better than tap water. Pamela LeBlanc of the Austin American-Statesman recently wrote, ÒWe spend a collective $11.7 billion annually on bottled wa¥ter when the U.S. has some of the safest, best-testing tap water in the world. More specifically, in a city whose tap water is ranked seventh best of 100, based on data tests run on cities with more than 250,000 people by the Environmental Working Group, Austinites should be embracing the cityÕs prime tap water. Apart from the arguments of the better taste or better quality of bottled water, many consumers simply admit that bottled water is more convenient. However, the alternative does not require much effort either; more effort is actually exerted in hauling bottled water cases from the grocery store to the home than in buying a water filter or using water fountains to fill up reusable water bottles. The University should install more retrofit bottle fillers onto the water fountains around campus to incentivize more people to take advan¥tage of these fountains. The excessive purchase of water bottles is unnecessary, and each person should contribute to the reduction of their usage. Manescu is an international relations and journalism freshman. PerryÕs tax plan falls flat By Samantha Katsounas Daily Texan Columnist Early last week, presidential candidate Rick Perry debuted his new tax and spending reform plan in an effort to revitalize his floundering cam¥paign. Advertised as straightforward, PerryÕs Cut, Balance & Grow proposal is a mash-up of con¥servative ideology that will create unprecedented budget problems for the federal government. Seeking to differentiate his plan from front¥runner Herman CainÕs 9-9-9, Perry emphasizes a flat income tax instead of a national sales tax. Advertised as Òsimple,Ó PerryÕs income tax offers Americans two choices: pay a 20-per¥cent flat tax on income or keep your old tax rate. Not only is the plan far from simple, it will tilt the tax code drastically in favor of the wealthiest Americans. According to calculations performed by the nonprofit Tax Policy Center, Òthe highest-income households in every structure of family analyzed benefit from opting into the Perry plan.Ó Besides, this assessment only analyzes employment-based income. For wealthy Americans who earn money through capital gains, the tax figure shrinks even further. Famed billionaire Warren Buffett would pay a miniscule 0.2 percent income tax under Per¥ryÕs plan, according to the Houston Chronicle. Perry latched onto the concept of a simplistic tax code that allows individuals Òto file their taxes on a postcard.Ó In reality, the plan is far from effort¥less. Perry slams the current system for ÒforcingÓ taxpayers to hire professionals to help navigating the intricate tax code. However with PerryÕs plan, taxpayers will still have to calculate whether their current rate or the new rate would be a better deal for them. Most analysts seem unable to find a way this simplifies matters, since the plan adds more layers onto the already complicated tax system. Moreover, it seems PerryÕs system will have a net effect of lower tax revenue since wealthy Americans would be the only ones receiving tax cuts. Congress has dealt with unprecedented deficits in the past few years, and this plan would compound the situation. Combined with PerryÕs proposed balanced budget amendment, there is serious concern that lowering tax revenue could have catastrophic effects on the federal budget. Perry offers up a study delivered by the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, as support for his plan. According to Perry and Cato, two dozen countries have successfully adopted flat tax sys¥tems. The countries in question? Economic pow¥erhouses such as Kyrgyzstan, Slovakia, Serbia and Iraq. Bewilderingly, Perry is actually using coun¥tries with some of the most corrupt governments in the world as support for his flat tax proposal. But PerryÕs plan goes far beyond taxes: it en¥compasses corporate taxes, the federal regula¥tory system, Obamacare, social security reform, Medicare and Medicaid. Cut, Balance & Grow is an agglomeration of ideas that tries to cover all of PerryÕs political bases. These proposals are often at odds with his strident stances in the past. While Perry has famously reiterated over the past few months that Social Security is a ÒPonzi schemeÓ and a Òfraudulent system,Ó he now claims an avowed desire to Òsave Social SecurityÓ in his plan. While Perry insists in his plan that the fa¥mous 2008 TARP bailout Òwas wrong when it was signed into law,Ó he wrote a 2008 letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to Òstrongly urge Congress to leave partisanship at the door and pass [TARP].Ó While Perry is well-known for Tammany Hall-style patronage for generous do¥nors, he decries the corporate tax code that allows Òloopholes and special interest tax breaks.Ó What outsiders see as capricious changes in policy, Texans recognize as true to form flip-flop¥ping. Perry has displayed an unwavering commit¥ment to his as-the-wind-blows methodology, as evidenced in his rise from Democratic state legis¥lator to Republican presidential candidate. Try as he might, Perry canÕt have his cake and eat it, too. While he plans to slash taxes on the up¥per crust of American earners, he refuses reduc¥tions in defense spending, which has doubled in the past 10 years. The programs that will feel the pain of PerryÕs plan will unquestionably include education. During the recent legislative session, Perry showed no qualms in approving draconian budget cuts for public and higher education to satisfy budget constraints. ThereÕs no reason to ex¥pect him to change positions now. Students, take note. In PerryÕs system of back-room politics, you wonÕt come first. Katsounas is a finance and government sophomore.

By Rachel Thompson Daily Texan Staff It is a nationÕs duty to record the truth through archives and to over¥come the challenges of assembling those archives, said John Ciorciari, as¥sistant professor of public policy at the University of Michigan. Ciorciari lectured Monday as part of a series on human rights sponsored by the Rapoport Center in the School of Law. Ciorciari, who published a book on the duty to protect human rights in Southeast Asia, described the foun¥dational approach of creating a strong archival base for both memory and accountability. ÒItÕs very important for the people responsible for documentation to be thoughtful, to establish procedures,Ó he said. He noted the example of Cam¥bodia and the atrocities committed there in the 1970s with the brutal, genocidal Khmer Rouge regime. Documents were used to convict those responsible for crimes against humanity, he said. ÒThereÕs an emerging notion that people have a right to know what hap¥pened,Ó Ciorciari said. He also said a number of post¥communist states began to set up spe¥cialized memory institutes after the Cold War. This norm of establishing archives gathered momentum in the late 1990s, he said. The question of who is allowed to assemble archives and who is to or¥ganize and gather the documents is a difficulty governments face, Cior¥ciari said; a national archive is a nat¥ural place to start. ÒWhen a national archive is [estab¥lished], it is a building capacity for the state in dealing with future record¥keeping,Ó Ciorciari said. He also said the process of estab¥lishing national archives depends greatly on the cooperation of a na¥tional government. ÒA lot of governments are not will¥ing, or are unable, to deal with these documents,Ó he said. ÒAnd [those doc¥uments] may not see the light of day.Ó He said in cases of citizen pri¥vacy, ethical decisions will have to be made. William Chandler, an adminis¥trator at the Rapoport Center, said discussing human rights issues is important for students of law as well as other students. ÒThe Rapoport Center is inter¥disciplinary,Ó Chandler said. ÒThe University is a great environment to have open dialogue about human rights issues.Ó The archiving process, Ciorciari said, is not a simple or easy one, but it is inherent to human rights and holds those who abuse their power at the expense of citizens accountable for their actions. ÒPeople will say, ÔI want to see those documents today. I lost my uncle,Õ or, ÔI lost my sister,ÕÓ he said. ÒEven with modern technology, itÕs going to take a long time relative to the legitimate needs [of citizens]. Their patience for the use of these documents is going to be short.Ó Mexican-American women from Texas establish identity By John Farey Daily Texan Staff A group of Mexican-American women from Texas were essential in increasing cultural understand¥ings of Latin-American citizens liv¥ing in the U.S. during the first half of the 20th century, according to a visiting expert from Yale. Ph.D. candidate Serena Sprungl presented a workshop to the Insti¥tute for Historical Studies, focus¥ing on ethnic Mexican womenÕs ac¥tivism and public cultures as they contributed to a more culturally¥accepting Texas. The League of United Lat¥in American Citizens, founded in Texas in 1929, became instrumen¥tal in gaining recognition for Mex¥ican contributions to Texas society and establishing a Mexican-Ameri¥can identity, Sprungl said. ÒThe project reflects my long¥standing interest in Mexican his¥tory, as well as my frustration that so much cultural history is told as a white U.S. history,Ó Sprungl said. ÒBy going in and observing pat¥terns in cultural artifacts, such as the newspapers and cartoons of the time, I want to highlight the mean¥ings and implications of race and gender as understood by ethnic Mexicans in the 1930s.Ó Understanding the work of LU-LAC was an important part of giv¥ing ethnic Mexicans who are learn¥ing in U.S. schools an accurate picture of their cultural heritage, Sprungl said. Assistant history professor Anne Martinez said SprunglÕs work doc¥umented Mexican and American women in Texas reaching out inter¥nationally to Latin America and es¥tablishing important cultural ties. ÒThis is the beginning of us try¥ing to think in a transnational lens,Ó Martinez said. ÒCertainly, there was a different language for doing that at the time, but that is some¥thing thatÕs still evolving as global¥ization takes root and our economy is shifting.Ó ÒAgain, the U.S. is trying to rec¥ognize and process our relationship with other nations while foreign nationals are present, as they have been for centuries,Ó Martinez said. Ph.D. candidate in Latin-Amer¥ican history Renata Keller said the talk was important for understand¥ing identity in the frontier region during the 1930s. Ò[SprunglÕs] ideas go a long way towards conceptualizing how people position themselves in one country, but have a dual Mexican-American heritage,Ó Keller said. ÒWeÕre still dealing with these issues, especially im¥migration, and how we decide who is American.Ó Jorge Corona | Daily Texan Staff Assistant history professor Anne Martinez listens to faculty mem¥bers and students in a meeting at Garrison Hall on Monday.

Ñ West Virginia University filed a lawsuit Monday seeking an im¥mediate divorce from the Big East so it can become a mem¥ber of the Big 12 before the 2012 football season. The Big 12 announced West VirginiaÕs acceptance on Friday, but the Big East said it would hold the Mountaineers to a pro¥vision in the conference bylaws that requires notice of 27 months before a school can withdraw. The lawsuit asks the Mononga¥lia County Circuit Court to de¥clare the bylaws invalid, claim¥ing that the Big East breached its fiduciary duty to West Virginia by failing to maintain a balance between football-playing and non-football members. The complaint, which asks for a jury trial, also alleges that the Big East agreed to West Virgin¥iaÕs immediate withdrawal by ac¥cepting a $2.5 million down pay¥ment on its $5 million exit fee. ÒAbsent a Court order per¥manently enjoining the Big East from enforcing the 27-month notice provision against WVU, WVU has no adequate remedy at law to protect its interests and will suffer continuing and irrep¥arable damages and injury,Ó the lawsuit says. Big East Commissioner John Marinatto has said West Virgin¥ia is not eligible to join the Big 12 until July 1, 2014.

TUNESDAY CD REVIEW CD REVIEW LULU UNDER THE MISTLETOE Metal, avant-garde experiment crashes Christmas album nails variety, By Eli Watson at times edges on over-the-top Daily Texan Staff By Ali Breland Daily Texan Staff Under The Mistletoe, Justin Bie¥berÕs Christmas album, is first and foremost an attempt to create an exceedingly accessible and mar¥ketable Christmas album. Justin BieberÕs music already falls in this tween demographic-exploiting vein, but Under The Mistletoe goes even further. The album spans tons of genres, but not in the cohe¥sive manner that is gaining popu¥larity in contemporary music. Certain tracks fall into very dis¥tinct, definitive genres with min¥imal combinations. ÒHome This ChristmasÓ is a country song and ÒDrummer BoyÓ is a newfangled hip-hop R&B song. ÒSomeday At ChristmasÓ is a doo-woppy ballad. That being said, Under The Mis¥tletoe does a very good job of what it sets out to do: be a really listen¥able pop record. The songs provide a 21st-century rendition of Christ¥mas classics in conjunction with original Bieber songs, which ac¥tually demonstrate a great deal of technical proficiency on BieberÕs part. Nat King ColeÕs ÒThe Christ¥mas SongÓ acutely reflects this to the point of being nearly annoy¥ing, as Usher and Bieber accentu¥ate and warp the ends of their vers¥es way too much. They make sure everyone knows they have good voices in the most painfully obvi¥ous of ways. Bieber extends this exempli¥fication of his talents even fur¥ther in ÒDrummer Boy,Ó where he raps alongside Busta Rhymes. Granted BieberÕs techniques, like his collaboratorÕs, are gimmicky in that they involve tremendous amounts of repetitious skipping breaths and cadence manipu¥lations to sound fast and cool. Even so, it works out and shows a tremendous amount of po¥tential on BieberÕs part. Hope¥fully heÕll pursue rapping more somewhere down the line. For now, though, it serves to make the track one of Under The Mis¥tletoeÕs standouts and makes ÒDrummer Boy,Ó one of the sea¥sonsÕ most boring songs, much more pleasing.

Inspired by German expressionist Frank WedekindÕs early 20th-centu¥Õ Lulu could be better, but the part¥nership between Reed and Metallica have many noticeable holes. Metalli¥ca frontman James Hetfield is no Nico, and his gutteral vocals clash against ReedÕs monotonous, spoken-word de¥livery. When the two do have simul¥taneous vocal parts occurring, they are interspersed in such a way that the song becomes cluttered and over¥whelming. ÒCheat On MeÓ starts off as listenable, but toward the end, it grows into an uncontrollable ball of sound. Lou Reed and Metallica are not a perfect pair. Yes, Lou Reed has always been known as a risk-taking, fearless musician, but there is a difference be¥tween fearlessness and foolishness. Present-day Reed is nothing like his Velvet Undergroundcounterpart. This Reed sacrifices evocative narratives for incomprehensible babble, sometimes so overwhelming that you canÕt help but wonder what he was thinking as he recorded his vocals. Metallica follows suit. Their defin¥itive, rough-edged metal sound that catapulted them into the mainstream has since dwindled and become something of its former self. Rather than stylistically following their last re¥lease, Death Magnetic, the band makes the mistake of treading too deep into their St. Anger-era sound. This hurts the album more than helps and die¥hard fans who are expecting gran¥deur-laden guitar solos will be greatly disappointed. Lulu could have been an in¥teresting album, but the lack of cohesion between Reed and Metallica is a problem that is obvious from beginning to end. The MistletoeÕs release, Bieber said he wanted the album to be a Christmas classic, like Boyz II MenÕs or Mariah CareyÕs Christ¥mas albums. HeÕs managed to one-up himself in that regard, as he has created a Christmas clas¥sic, and both are featured on this album. Even though the record has flaws, itÕs nothing unique to most pop music that tries to ca¥ter to overarching amounts of fans, and Bieber, as always, does it the best. ry plays ÒEarth SpiritÓ and ÒPandoras Box,ÓLulustrivestobeaworkofartbut crashes and burns immediately. ReedÕs preacher-like vocal delivery on open¥er ÒBradenburg GateÓ unites effortless¥ly with the open and airy acoustic gui¥tars in the beginning, but itÕs overshad¥owed and overpowered by MetallicaÕs unrelenting guitars. This problem foreshadows the al¥bumÕs failure to captivate: The two artists do not complement each oth¥er well, resulting in fractured pieces of songs that only satisfy when one or the other is playing. In its entirety, this al¥bum is mediocre: It becomes a chal¥lenge to listen to, and the only amuse¥ment you will get is through ReedÕs hu¥morously dark lyrical content (listen to ÒIced HoneyÓ and try not to laugh). CD REVIEW LONG LIVE THE KING Long live the DecemberistsÕ new album By Robert Starr Daily Texan Staff Though The Decemberists re¥leased a few albums before Pica¥resque, that was the one that put them on the map. Strange and wonderful, the album began with whale songs and each track came up with new and weird sounds to throw at listeners with¥out alienating them. Unfortunately, nothing The Decemberists have re¥leased before or since has matched the level of bizarre musical genius. Earlier this year, they released the 10-song LP The King is Dead, which, while not revolutionary, was still a solid release from the band. If it lacked PicaresqueÕs in¥ventiveness, at least it avoided the over-the-top and pretentious ex¥perimentalism they used on The Hazards of Love. Long Live the King, released today, is a six-song collection of B-sides from The King is Dead, consisting of stan¥dard pop songs made a bit more interesting by lead singer Colin MeloyÕs distinct, nasally voice that her to be more than a performer but a true musician. ÒHello,Ó is a sassy bubblegum pop track that practically begs for a per¥formance with a microphone stand, multiple hair flips and bursts of con¥fetti. With a punchy melody remi¥niscent of ClarksonÕs 2004 hit ÒSince U Been Gone,Ó ÒHelloÓ proves that  sounds as though he swallowed a small kazoo. The first track, ÒE. WatsonÓ exem¥plifies this. What could have been a dull guitar/vocal piece is made more interesting just because Meloy sings it. There isnÕt really anybody else with a voice like his, which gives ev¥ery song he sings a feeling of com¥ing from a charming, non-specific, will keep fans of the band satisfied. older era.

The theremin, named after its in¥ventor, was featured in horror mov¥ies and in many different genres of music, including the Beach Boys hit ÒGood Vibrations.Ó Local theremin musician Aileen Adler brought her modern, solid¥state version of the instrument and explained how it radiates an electro¥magnetic field that is affected by the human bodyÕs natural electromag¥netic charge.

Matt Sayles Associated Press ClarksonÕs latest teems with fiery empowerment By Anjli Mehta Daily Texan Staff When it comes to pop music, if Britney Spears is the voice of unrefined sexuality and Taylor Swift is the voice of the demure girl next door, then Kel¥ly Clarkson is the voice of fiery em¥powerment. Kelly ClarksonÕs latest al¥bum, Stronger, holds true to its title, pumping out song after bass-thump¥ing song, making it the ideal breakup playlist for girls who refuse to feel bad about themselves. From the albumÕs first single, ÒMr. Know It All,Ó to the catchy, ÒDonÕt Be A Girl About It,Ó the songs deliver rock¥infused pop beats perfectly crafted for car ride sing-alongs and impromptu dorm room dance-offs. On ÒWhat DoesnÕt Kill You,Ó Clark¥son masters the post-breakup anthem, fit to empower not only with lyrics like, ÒWhat doesnÕt kill you makes you stronger/Stand a little taller/DoesnÕt mean IÕm lonely when IÕm alone.Ó In the chorus, however, walloping dance beats compete with powerhouse vo¥cals and mask ClarksonÕs singing, which is well-designed for belting out words double-dipped in vengeance and angst. Some songs, based on for¥mulaic crescendo-led choruses, prove that Clarkson sticks to what works for her. On ÒAlone,Ó her expected cre¥scendos keep lyrics like, ÒYouÕre gon- Stronger Kelly Clarkson Genre: Pop For those who like: P!nk, Alanis Morissette na miss me/So get ready/IÕm about to tell you why,Ó tense and tight, just be¥fore the apex of volume and excite¥ment. In the world according to Clark¥son, it appears that a post-breakup comeback song isnÕt complete without a crescendo. The album shows ClarksonÕs vo¥cal versatility with the country-influ¥enced ballad, ÒDonÕt You Wanna Stay,Ó where country artist Jason Aldean takes the lead, but Clarkson, no stranger to country music, keeps her signature vo¥cal prowess, taking back the spotlight for the chorus and bridge. Though the trackÕs country twang is easy on the ears, itÕs out of place, considering the overall pop vibe from the rest of the album. However, ClarksonÕs song, ÒThe Sun Will Rise,Ó is a seamless blend of coun¥try and pop, as it promises that life post¥breakup gets better with each day.
