LEARNING the ROPES INSIDE: Special effects expert runs summer science camp for kids on page 14 PerryÕs proclamation asks for day of prayer, receives disapproval By Diego Cruz Daily Texan Staff Gov. Rick Perry is attracting na¥tional attention after organizing ÒThe Response: A Day of Prayer and Fast¥ingÓ to deal with a nation Òin crisis.Ó The daylong Ònon-denomination¥al, apolitical, Christian prayer meet¥ingÓ scheduled for Aug. 6 at Reliant Stadium in Houston is modeled after a ritual in the biblical Book of Joel, ac¥cording to a press release. The Amer¥ican Family Association will cover the costs of the event, a move that has raised alarm from the Secular Coali¥tion of America. Sean Faircloth, executive director of the Secular Coalition of Ameri¥ca, said the civil rights firm South¥ern Poverty Law Center designated the American Family Association as a hate group in 2010. Thursday, June 9, 2011 Obama adds UT chancellor to initiative for education By Huma Munir Daily Texan Staff President Barack Obama appoint¥ed UT System chancellor Francis¥co Cigarroa and UT San Antonio President Ricardo Romo to serve on a 16-member team of educational and civic leaders called the advisory commission for the Educational Ex¥cellence for Hispanics Initiative. Obama established the commis¥sion last year as part of the initiative, which former president George H. W. Bush originally created in 1990. According to a report the Depart¥ment of Education released in April, Hispanics are the largest grow¥ing minority community in Amer¥ica but have the lowest education attainment levels Ñ only 13 per¥cent of Latinos have a bachelorÕs de¥gree and 4 percent have profession¥al or graduate degrees. According to a 2009 U.S. Census survey, 27.9 per¥cent of all Americans have bache¥lorÕs degrees and 10.3 percent have advanced degrees.

Faircloth said the association pre¥viously attempted to bar openly-gay former Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., from the Republican National Conven¥tion in 2000 and opposed the use of a Quran to swear in Muslim Massa¥chusetts Congressman Keith Ellison in 2006. He said elected officials such as Perry are violating the separation of church and state, one of the Òbasic founding principlesÓ of the nation, in¥stead of focusing on public policy. But Perry, in a proclamation Mon¥day that announced the event, said ÒThe ResponseÓ is necessary for the good of the country. PRAYER continues on PAGE 2 Jack Plunkett | Associated Press Texas Gov.

Gasoline prices decline, far from low By Diego Cruz Daily Texan Staff Austin drivers are paying less for gas this month, but filling the tank is still emptying pockets quicker than it did last June. Gasoline prices in Austin are down more than 20 cents per gallon since last month but remain near¥ly a dollar more expensive than this time in 2010. According to the AAAÕs Dai¥ly Fuel Gauge Report, a gallon of regular gasoline in Austin current¥ly costs $3.60. This is a marked de¥crease from last monthÕs $3.82 per gallon, but remains high in compar¥ison to last JuneÕs $2.63. Other Texas cities see a similar pattern, with gas prices dropping but still about a dollar higher than June 2010. The current national av¥erage for a regular gallon of gaso¥line is $3.75, a decrease from last monthÕs $3.97 but an increase from last yearÕs $2.72. According to the U.S. Energy In- Author investigates myths in science history By Allison Harris Daily Texan Staff There is no proof Galileo dropped objects from the Lean¥ing Tower of Pisa to compare the rate of their falls, but popular sci¥ence still promotes that myth and many others, said an asso¥ciate history professor at a talk Wednesday. Alberto Martinez read excerpts from his book ÒScience Secrets: The Truth about DarwinÕs Finch¥es, EinsteinÕs Wife, and Other MythsÓ to a crowd of 130 people at BookPeople. He answered au¥dience questions and signed cop¥ies of his book afterward. Martinez said he became in¥terested in investigating myths in science history after teaching them without being certain of their truth. formation Administration, 69 per¥cent of gasoline costs come from the cost of crude oil, while taxes, distri¥bution and marketing, and refining make up the rest. The administration pinpoints the cost of crude oil as the most influen¥tial factor in the price of gasoline. In 2008, gas prices peaked with a na¥tional average of $4.11 per gallon of regular gasoline as demand grew faster than suppliers could provide.

How¥ever, experiments have shown the average round-trip speed of light to be constant, so the constancy of the speed of light is a general¥ly-accepted convention. ÒThat kind of distinction, if we can make it more clearly in text¥books, would be wonderful,Ó he said. ÒThen students could more clearly understand, ÔWait a min¥ute, this one part is a conven¥tion, it could be much better if we could replace it with an experi¥mental fact.ÕÓ Math senior David Kessler said he first met Martinez in a class he taught for the UTeach program and was inspired by his active ap¥proach to teaching. ÒHe always wants to know the truth and he always wants the truth to be taught,Ó Kessler said. ÒHe re¥ally conveyed the importance of making sure that youÕre not just accepting what someone else says.Ó Frazier said. Ò[Perry] is pleased to have their support in making this event possible.Ó Biology senior Laura Garcia said Perry is doing what he believes in, but she doesnÕt like that it only in¥cluded Christians. ÒI would be more supportive if it were more open to other faiths,Ó Garcia said. English freshman Melissa Secor said she didnÕt mind the governorÕs choice of host because every politi¥cian has his or her interest groups, and it doesnÕt necessarily mean Per¥ry is displaying favoritism. ÒI think itÕs a good idea,Ó Se¥cor said. ÒI donÕt feel like it necessarily violates peopleÕs constitutional rights.Ó Opposition remains, howev¥er. The organization the Ameri¥can Atheists is planning protests in Houston, and the Secular Coalition of America is asking citizens to urge their governors to reject the event. Since then, the weakening econo¥my and subsequent decrease of de¥mand has led to current rates, ac¥cording to the AAA report. ÒIt really does base itself on sup¥ply and demand. WeÕre drinking about a tanker every thirteen min¥utes,Ó said professor Scott Tinker, director of the Bureau of Economic Geology in the University of Texas. He said a tanker amounts to about 50 Olympic-size swimming pools. Concerns about reduced supply often lead to jumps in price, Tin¥ker said. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, is a primary actor in deter¥mining the price of crude oil as its members produce about 58 per¥cent of the worldÕs supply, accord¥ing to their website. ÒPolitical turmoil in the oil sup¥ply areas Ñ most notably the Mid¥dle East of late Ñ causes prices to go up,Ó geological sciences profes¥sor Charles Groat said. ÒThey also LEADER continues from PAGE 1 Romo said he is looking for¥ward to fulfilling the goals set by the President of out-building, out¥innovating and out-educating the rest of the world. He said the United States can start doing that by acknowledging the shortcom¥ings of its educational system. He said 50 percent of the His¥panic students in America drop out before they graduate high school. Only 20 percent of the stu¥dents who graduate are ready for college, he said. ÒWe have to ask our teachers, our parents and our students to do better and figure out whatÕs the cause of this failure,Ó Romo said. He said his work at the commis¥sion will require talking to educa¥tors and suggesting ideas to im-go up when domestic production is threatened as it was during the mor¥atorium on offshore drilling that fol¥lowed the BP Macondo oil spill.Ó Austin - San Marcos $3.595 Dallas $3.550 Houston $3.573 San Antonio $3.590 National $3.748 According to the Energy Infor¥mation Administration, other fac¥tors that reflect price differences between states and regions are tax policies, distance from refineries, refinery maintenance issues and competition between gas stations. As gas prices increase, drivers must adapt to the higher cost of transportation. ÒI have to live week by week and put in 10 dollars at a time,Ó human prove higher education for His¥panic students. Romo said in the last 10 years, the number of Hispanic students graduating has almost doubled at UTSA, where 44 percent of the students are Hispanic. There needs to be greater emphasis on increasing scholarships and finan¥cial aid for Hispanic students be¥cause most do not come from af¥fluent families, Romo said. ÒIf we donÕt get them financial aid, they are not going to be able to go to college,Ó he said. ÒWe need more Pell grants [and] we need more TEXAS Grants.Ó White House OfficialsÕ focus has shifted from merely creating data reports to going out into the field and taking action against pover¥ty and low high school and college graduation rates in Hispanic com¥munities, the initiativeÕs executive director Juan Sepulveda said. ÒThe commissioners will build close partnerships between pri¥vate and public organizations in the next few months,Ó Sepulveda said. ÒThey will foster relationships between the commission and pri¥vate organizations already working to enhance the quality of education $3.672 $3.824 $2.631 $3.621 $3.879 $2.564 $3.635 $3.876 $2.567 $3.644 $3.800 $2.613 $3.775 $3.960 $2.718 development and family sciences junior Devon Debord said. Debord has also reduced her gas¥oline usage in smaller ways such as opening her car windows instead of turning on the air conditioning. Tinker said the price of a gallon of gas is still Òremarkably afford¥ableÓ when compared to what the same amount of other more easily obtainable liquid products, such as milk or water. ÒThereÕs so much that goes on to get that gallon of gasoline to us thatÕs very expensive and very risky,Ó Tinker said. for Hispanic communities.Ó He said in order to combat the fight against drop-out rates, the White House needed peo¥ple closely tied to Hispanic com¥munities. Cigarroa was the first Latin American to be appointed as the UT system chancellor and will serve as a strong role model for Hispanic communities as the commissioner, Sepulveda said. He said leaders such as Romo who succeeded despite limited opportunities set a standard for the community and give members hope to achieve greater things, Sepulveda said. ÒWith people like the chancel¥lor and Dr. Romo, we are chang¥ing the focus of the commission,Ó he said. There arenÕt many role models in the Hispanic community, said Fransisco Tamayo, accounting ju¥nior and membership director of the Senate of College Councils. CigarroÕs success at the UT Sys¥tem and his appointment to the commission show that Hispanics can achieve great things with bet¥ter access to education. ÒIt allows you to see that you can be a leader,Ó Tamayo said. World&NatioN 3 Thursday, June 9, 2011 | The Daily Texan | Brenna Cleeland, Wire Editor | dailytexanonline.com By eduardo Castillo and elliot spagat Associated Press TIJUANA, Mexico Ñ Wild-ani¥mal collector, gambling tycoon and eccentric former mayor Jorge Hank Rhon has faced unproven allega¥tions of criminal activity through¥out his career in the border city famed as a base for drug traffickers. Now a raid on his home has turned up an arsenal of illegal weap¥ons, prosecutors said Wednesday, and they are setting out to finally make charges stick to a man with deep roots in MexicoÕs elite who has long been considered untouchable. Hauled first to Mexico City for questioning, Hank Rhon was flown back to the border early Wednesday. The case comes as Mexico heads into a presidential campaign and the party that ruled for 71 years, the party of Hank Rhon and his legend¥ary father, looks likely to return to power. The unusual circumstances of the raid have had federal officials scrambling to deny it had political motivations. U.S. officials have long been sus¥picious of the Hank clan, and the flamboyant Hank Rhon in partic¥ular. Never, though, have they even indicted him on any corruption-re¥lated charge. Deputy Attorney General Patri¥cia Bugarin said Wednesday that troops had found 40 rifles, 48 hand¥guns, 9,298 bullets, 70 ammuni¥tion clips and a gas grenade at Hank RhonÕs home, and that only 10 of those weapons were licensed. His attorney, Fernando Benitez, said the evidence will be thrown out because officials had no search warrant. The army justified the warrantless search by saying they saw men with illegal weapons entering the house. Every major Calderon official has come out to say the arrest of Hank Rhon was an act of law enforcement carried out in full transparency un¥der the law. Many Mexicans find that version hard to believe. About 2,000 people gathered at a traffic circle in Tijuana on Tuesday afternoon to express support for Hank Rhon. Forest fire threatens power lines, results in evacuations for South By Bob Christie and susan Montoya Bryan Associated Press SPRINGERVILLE, Ariz. Ñ A rag¥ing forest fire in eastern Arizona that has forced thousands from their homes Wednesday is headed for a pair of transmission lines that supply electricity to hundreds of thousands of people as far east as Texas. The 607-square-mile blaze is ex¥pected to reach the power lines as early as Friday. If the lines are dam¥aged, parts of New Mexico and Texas could face rolling blackouts. The blaze has blackened about 389,000 acres and destroyed 11 build¥ings, primarily in the Apache-Sit¥greaves National Forest. No serious injuries have been reported. Fire crews had furiously worked to protect the town of Eagar and Springerville on Tuesday, and it ap¥peared to pay off. They created bar¥riers between the towns and the fire and burned out combustible materi¥al, such as brush and trees. ÒItÕs looking good to us. It did what the team said it would do when it came over the hill toward town,Ó Apache County SheriffÕs Office Chief Deputy Brannon Eagar said. He add¥ed: ÒIt worked out perfectly.Ó The fire prompted Texas-based El Paso Electric to issue warnings of possible power interruptions for its customers in southern New Mexico and West Texas. The company uses two high volt¥age lines to bring electricity from the Palo Verde Nuclear Generat¥ing Station west of Phoenix to the two states. Losing the lines would cut off about 40 percent of the utilityÕs supply, possibly trigger¥ing the rolling blackouts among its 372,000 customers. About half of the 4,000 residents who call Eagar home were forced to leave Tuesday as the fire licked the ridges surrounding the area. Those in neighboring Springerville worried as they awaited word of whether they too will have to flee. On Wednesday afternoon, author¥ities ordered more evacuations as the wildfire pushed closer to Eagar and Springerville. The blaze, burning in mainly pon¥derosa pine forest, was sparked May 29 by what authorities believe was an unattended campfire. It became the second-largest in Arizona history on Tuesday. It has cast smoke as far east as Iowa and forced some planes to di¥vert from Albuquerque, N.M., some Flames from the Wallow Fire burn near homes in Eagar, Ariz. on Tuesday. A raging forest fire in eastern Arizona has scorched an area the size of Phoenix, threatening thousands of residents and emptying towns as the flames raced toward New Mexico. Michael Chow Associated Press 200 miles away. Thousands of firefighters, includ¥ing many from several western states and as far away as New York, are al¥ready helping. With a blaze as large as this being driven by unpredictable and gusty winds, putting the fire out is a gar¥gantuan task. All fire managers can do is try to steer it away from homes and cabins by using natural terrain, burning out combustible material first and try¥ing to put out spot fires sparked by embers blowing in front of the main fire front. The cost of fighting the blaze has approached $8 million. Officials said it is likely to get more expensive. news BRIeFLY ÔSurfing MadonnaÕ artwork sparks debate about graffiti SAN DIEGO Ñ ItÕs going to take a miracle to remove the Surf¥ing Madonna, according to an art agency hired to run tests on an illegal public mosaic that has been sparking debate about what should be considered graffiti. The artwork featuring the Vir¥gin of Guadalupe riding a surf¥board was put up under a train bridge shortly before Easter by artists disguised as construction workers, according to witnesses. Officials contend the piece is graffiti under the law and must be removed. Still, City Council members acknowledge it is stun¥ning, so they hired the art agen¥cy to find a way to take it down without destroying it. They hope the piece can be displayed at a lo¥cal business where the public can continue to view it. But Smith said after exam¥ining the wall Tuesday that it would be pretty much impossi¥ble to remove the image because it is attached with a combination of epoxy glue and a metal bolt¥ing system. Smith said he expects to hand over a report with his agencyÕs recommendations to the city by Wednesday evening. Encinitas Mayor James Bond said Wednesday that the City Council would need to review the official report before making a decision on the Surfing Madon¥naÕs fate. The colorful mosaic has drawn scores of visitors who have come to see it in the coastal city 25 miles north of San Diego. Bond has said the artwork is beautiful but leaving it in place would set a dangerous precedent and could encourage more illegal art in the city, which has a large artist population. Some say the artwork blurs the line between church and state; others consider it sacrilegious to have MexicoÕs patron saint pic¥tured surfing.

The study suggests that an increased emphasis on faculty teaching at UT would result in significant savings. PowersÕ column was published by the Austin American-Statesman and The Dallas Morning News earlier this week. ÒI think weÕve done a fairly good job of keeping UT open to middle-and low-income students in the past, but IÕm veryconcerned about our abil¥ity to do so in the future.Ó Ñ Tom Melecki, director of Student Financial Services, on UTÕs ability to provide financial aid to students in need, according to The Daily Texan.

Perry added immigration legislation Tuesday to the LegislatureÕs agenda for the special session. gallery Join the Texas State Employees Union By Dana Cloud Daily Texan Guest Columnist I received an email last week from UT Presi¥dent Bill Powers Jr. You probably got one, too. The letter announced the more-or-less final figures for state budget cuts in funding for the University. The 2012-13 budget for UT will be reduced 16.5 percent from the original 2010-11 budget, a loss of $92.1 million. In addition to requiring layoffs and heavy cuts to core University programs, the budget will see our insurance costs Ñ premiums, deductibles and co-pays Ñ rise significantly. In spite of the fact that increasing tax revenue or using the stateÕs Rainy Day Fund would end our budget woes, UT will likely decrease its contribution to our retire¥ment plans. WhatÕs more, the special session of the Texas Legislature is still considering furloughs and permanent salary cuts for faculty and staff. It is worth noting that UT has already made $14 million in cuts since 2009. Even as Powers stressed the University is pre¥pared to take these hits, the fact of the matter is we are going to feel the pain. We are not alone. At state universities across Texas Ñ and across the country Ñ legislators are imposing serious fund¥ing cuts that affect faculty and staff salary and benefits, class sizes, lab and equipment availabil¥ity, libraries and other resources, and many other areas that have made our institutions great. Such cuts are often justified by specious stud¥ies claiming faculty donÕt work hard enough (as if summers were for vacation as opposed to periods of high-pressure research productivity) or that we should measure the success of the University in numerical terms (numbers of students taught in ever larger classes, graduation rates) rather than intellectual ones (research breakthroughs made, students inspired to pursue knowledge, creation of an open community of inquiry and debate). The question then becomes how do we fight back? How do we insist on the value of higher ed¥ucation in Texas? How do we defend our standard of living? How can we reach the Legislature with our message? HereÕs one good answer to these questions: Join the Texas State Employees Union. Historically, unions have been workersÕ best line of defense against the erosion of workplace rights, safety, wages, benefits and pensions. The Economic Policy Institute has documented the advantages of being in a union: higher wages, more and better benefits, more effective utiliza¥tion of social insurance programs, more effective enforcement of legislated labor protections, health and overtime regulations and a strong work force in politics and the broader community. Evidence from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows union¥ized workers earn more and have a higher stan¥dard of living than non-unionized workers (2008 median weekly income for the unionized worker was $880 versus $690 for non-unionized). Many UT workers donÕt know they have a union available to them; one that has defended the rights of faculty and staff for the past three decades. Since 1981, the union has won pay raises for Uni¥versity workers across the UT and A&M systems, established our right to testify in the Legislature, stopped numerous pay freezes, defended health care and pensions and fought off budget cuts and privatization. For example, in 2007, the union won a 4-percent across-the-board raise over two years for all state employees, including University workers. The union includes state workers across all state institutions from higher education to agen¥cies overseeing health and human services for all Texans. In standing with these workers, and they with us, we create a solidarity that is the basis of our voice and power. At the University, the unionÕs ranks include hundreds of faculty, grad¥uate instructors, custodians, nurses, administra¥tive employees, security officers, maintenance employees and countless others who are essen¥tial to maintaining quality higher education in Texas. The mission statement of the unionÕs University Caucus pledges to advocate for pay raises, afford¥able health care and a secure pension fund. The statement reads, ÒWe will ensure that our voices are heard as decisions that affect us are made at the state, university, and departmental level. We want true Jobs with Justice, where our input is lis¥tened to and we are respected for the work we do. Equal treatment and access to real due process are key aspects of our vision of democracy at work.Ó Included in this vision of democracy is support for equal insurance benefits for all UT families, including those of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans¥gender employees. UT employees committed to winning equal insurance benefits should join and support the union as an important ally. At the Capitol, itÕs been a daunting legislative session, but the University Caucus of the union set as its 2011 legislative goals to fight furloughs of faculty and staff, defend state funding to keep public education public and increase instruction¥al worker (faculty and graduate student teachers) job security and benefits. We will not win these demands this year, but itÕs not for lack of advoca¥cy. It takes sustained organization and continual pressure to defend our work and our livelihoods. The more University workers join the union, the more powerful our voice becomes in the long term in asking politicians to respect our work and prioritize our needs. In these tough times (which are not likely to end soon), we need the union. Please join the union to make it, and us, stronger. For more information and to join, go to http://www.cwa-tseu.org/.

Student entrepreneur juggles two businesses, schoolwork Date: June 9, 2011 To: All Students at The University of Texas at Austin From: Dr. Soncia Reagins-Lilly, Senior Associate Vice President for Student A¥¥airs and Dean of Students Subject: TEXAS HAZING STATUTE SUMMARY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTINÕS HAZING REGULATIONS The 70th Texas Legislature enacted a law concerning hazing. Under the law, individuals or organizations engaging in hazing could be subject to Þnes and charged with a criminal o¥¥ense. According to the law, a person can commit a hazing o¥¥ense not only by engaging in a hazing activity, but also by soliciting, directing, encouraging, aiding or attempting to aid another in hazing; by intentionally, knowingly or recklessly allowing hazing to occur; or by failing to report, in writing to the Dean of Students or another appropri¥ate o¥cial of the institution, Þrst-hand knowledge that a hazing incident is planned or has occurred. The fact that a person consented to or acquiesced in a hazing activity is not a defense to prosecution for hazing under this law. In an e¥¥ort to encourage reporting of hazing incidents, the law grants immunity from civil or criminal liability to any person who reports a speciÞc hazing event in good faith and without malice to the Dean of Students or other appropriate o¥cial of the institution and immunizes that person for participation in any judicial proceeding result¥ing from liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a result of the report. Additionally, a doctor or other medical practitioner who treats a student who may have been subjected to hazing may make a good faith report of the suspected hazing activities to police or other law enforcement o¥cials and is immune from civil or other liability that might otherwise be imposed or incurred as a result of the report. The penalty for failure to report is a Þne of up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both. Penalties for other hazing o¥¥enses vary according to the severity of the injury which results and include Þnes from $500 to $10,000 and/or conÞnement for up to two years. HAZING DEFINED The law deÞnes hazing as any intentional, knowing or reckless act, occurring on or o¥¥ the campus of an edu¥cational institution, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student, that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, a¥liating with, holding o¥ce in or maintaining membership in any organization whose members are or include stu¥dents at an educational institution. Hazing includes but is not limited to: A. any type of physical brutality, such as whipping, beating, striking, branding, electronic shocking, placing of a harmful substance on the body or similar activity; B. any type of physical activity, such as sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, conÞnement in a small space, calisthenics, or other activity that subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or that ad¥versely a¥¥ects the mental or physical health or safety of the student; C. any activity involving consumption of food, liquid, alcoholic beverage, liquor, drug or other substance which subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or which adversely a¥¥ects the mental or physi¥cal health of the student; D. any activity that intimidates or threatens the student with ostracism, that subjects the student to extreme mental stress, shame or humiliation, or that adversely a¥¥ects the mental health or dignity of the student or discourages the student from entering or remaining registered in an educational institution, or that may reasonably be expected to cause a student to leave the organization or the institution rather than submit to acts described in this subsection; E. any activity that induces, causes or requires the student to perform a duty or task which involves a violation of the Penal Code. UNIVERSITY DISCIPLINARY RULES This law does not a¥¥ect or in any way limit the right of the university to enforce its own rules against hazing under Chapter 16 of the Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities. In addition, Rules and Regulations of the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System, Series 50101, Number 2, Section 2.8, provide that: (a) Hazing with or without the consent of a student is prohibited by the System, and a violation of that pro¥hibition renders both the person inßicting the hazing and the person submitting to the hazing subject to discipline. (b) Initiations or activities by organizations may include no feature that is dangerous, harmful or degrading to the student. A violation of this prohibition renders both the organization and participating individuals subject to discipline. DANGEROUS OR DEGRADING ACTIVITIES Activities which under certain conditions constitute acts which are dangerous, harmful or degrading, in violation of Chapter 16 and subsections 6-303(b)(3) and 11-404(a)(8) of the Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities include but are not limited to: cCalisthenics, such as sit-ups, push-ups or any other form cConÞning individuals in an area that is uncomfort¥of physical exercise; able or dangerous (hot box e¥¥ect, high temperature, too small); cTotal or partial nudity at any time; cAny form of individual interrogation; cThe eating or ingestion of any unwanted substance; cAny type of servitude that is of personal beneÞt to the cThe wearing or carrying of any embarrassing, degrading individual members; or physically burdensome article; cWearing of embarrassing or uncomfortable clothing; cPaddle swats, including the trading of swats; cAssigning pranks such as stealing, painting objects, cPushing, shoving, tackling or any other physical contact; harassing other organizations; cThrowing any substance on a person; cIntentionally messing up the house or a room for cConsumption of alcoholic beverages accompanied by ei¥clean up;ther threats or peer pressure; cDemeaning names; cLineups for the purpose of interrogating, demeaning or cYelling or screaming; and intimidating; cRequiring boxing matches or Þghts for entertain¥ cTransportation and abandonment (road trips, kidnaps, ment. walks, rides, drops); DISCIPLINED ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THOSE RESOLVED VIA MUTUAL AGREEMENTS In accordance with requirements of the Texas Education Code Section 51.936(c), the following organizations have been disciplined for hazing and/or convicted for hazing, on or o¥¥ campus, during the preceding three years: cAbsolute Texxas* Conditional registration is one and a half (1.5) years (Completed November 19, 2009). cAlpha Epsilon Pi Found to be in violation; Penalty pending. calpha Kappa Delta Phi* Conditional registration is three (3) years (June 10, 2013). cAlpha Tau Omega* Conditional registration is two (2) years (May 13, 2012). cBeta Chi Theta* Conditional registration is one (1) year (Completed August 24, 2010). cDelta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Mace created his first website de¥velopment company at 14. At 16, he sold that company to media firm Livney+Partners, launching his journey toward owning two highly successful companies before college graduation. Mace said he taught himself to make websites by replicating per¥sonal and company websites and making small changes to see what he felt looked best. ÒI created some websites and Pichet Ong, who is frequently on The Oprah Winfrey Show, asked if I would create his photography port¥folio,Ó Mace said. Mace, originally from The Wood¥lands, said he applied to the Mc-Combs School of Business in 2008 and was surprised he wasnÕt accept¥ed even with his high grades and previous business experience. ÒItÕs better in the end, and I will fully recognize that,Ó Mace said. ÒI went into advertising in the com¥munication school, and senior lec¥turer Terry Hemeyer suggested that I switch my major to public rela¥tions to diversify my skill set.Ó Mace said that despite having some experience when he arrived, skills he has learned at UT are giving him new creative tools and ideas. Ò[Senior business lecturer] Dr. [Michael] Brandl, who I took two classes with my freshman year, heÕs an economist and taught me to look at interesting mathematical models to discern whether a business idea was viable enough to consider it or give it funding,Ó Mace said. Mace started two companies in January that require frequent trav¥el and take up much of his time. UT has helped him find strategic ways to complete his degree and continue to be successful as a businessman. Mace created ParkerMace, a con¥sulting company, and travel compa¥ny Want Me Get Me, in January. ÒParkerMace specializes in branding and helping companies rediscover who they are and what they do,Ó Mace said. ÒWhen a client or potential client comes to us, we begin an initial phase of researching who they really are, their passions and why they started that company. We try to make associations with their target audiences and go from there.Ó Mace said the University is Park-erMaceÕs biggest and most re¥cent client. The company is work¥ing on projects with the Of¥fice of the Dean of Students and Student Government. The company Want Me Get Me fell into place by chance when an ÒangelÓ investor interested in meet¥ing Mace asked Dallas businessman Jeffrey Hedge to make the meeting happen. He and Hedge created an immediate friendship and co-cre¥ated the company that will officially launch in two or three months. The company is a membership¥only travel group with a hotel search engine that allows its members to find hotels nationally and interna¥tionally, request amenities and make reservations. He said each experi¥ence is tailored to the individual. ÒOur platform is really the top hotels of the world. We have the most exclusive, highest rated big names in the hospitality industry,Ó Mace said. Membership is free, but mem¥bers are hand-selected by the board of directors based on an algorithm they developed. Student government president Natalie Butler said the company ParkerMace is currently working to create a new SG website. ÒWeÕre working through con¥cepts for the website right now, and IÕm really happy with what we are working on,Ó Butler said. ÒWe real¥ly wanted it to be more interactive and easier to view, and he is making that happen.Ó Mace took senior advertising lec¥turer Lisa DobiasÕ introduction to media class, and Dobias said Mace was active and successful. ÒHeÕs obviously very motivated and intelligent and forward-thinking,Ó Dobias said. ÒHe brought a lot to the classroom with examples and helped a lot of students along the way.Ó To report an act of hazing to the O¥ce of the Dean of Students, visit deanofstudents.utexas.edu/complaint.php.

By Trey Gerlich Daily Texan Staff Upcoming legislation: Sanctuary Cities Ban Gov. Rick Perry added legislation to the special session which bans cit¥ies from preventing police officers from inquiring as to a suspectÕs im¥migration status. The bill was originally defeated by democrats during the 82nd regu¥lar session but has already passed the House during this special session. The Senate will vote on the measure June 16, but because the two-thirds rule does not apply during special sessions, it will likely pass the Sen¥ate as well. The following cities currently have sanctuary policies: Austin, Baytown, Brownsville, Channelview, Denton, Dallas, El Cenizo, Ft. Worth, Hous¥ton, Katy, Laredo, McAllen and Port Arthur. Texas Windstorm Insurance Association Perry also added the Texas Wind¥storm Insurance Association to the special session Wednesday, claiming it is imperative to address the oper¥ation of TWIA now that hurricane season is forthcoming. The legislation would limit the amount of time homeowners have to file a claim after a storm and would limit the number of lawsuits that can be brought against TWIA. The Sen¥ate will review the bill June 16. On the radar: Joint Oversight Committee on Higher Education Governance, Ex¥cellence and Transparency A joint committee created by Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus will monitor the practices of university regent boards and will conduct deep reviews of statewide university policymaking and other matters. The committee co-head Rep. Dan Branch, R-Dallas, won approval from the House last month to have the Tex¥as Higher Education Coordinating Board compile a report for the com¥mittee on the best models and prac¥tices for governing universities.

His elite weapons, the fastball that cuts into the catcherÕs mitt around 94 mph, the slashing slider and the decep¥tive change-up, leave batters clueless. But JungmannÕs quiet strength, devoid of fear or apprehension or even a perspective of the moment, and his hunger to always win, has made him the best big-game pitch- ACE continues on PAGE 9 SIDELINE STANLEY CUP FINALS TWEET OF THE WEEK MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Former UT ballplayer returns to Austin area Member of 2002 national title team reconnecting with other Longhorns in nearby Round Rock By Christian Corona Daily Texan Staff Ten years ago, he came to Austin to be¥gin what would be a superb college base¥ball career. Now, heÕs back in Central Texas playing baseball again. Omar Quintanilla, who helped Texas win the 2002 College World Series, cur¥rently plays shortstop for the nearby Round Rock Express. After spending five years in the Colorado Rockies organization, Quin¥tanilla was signed last December by the Texas Rangers. They sent him to their Tri¥ple-A affiliate in Round Rock, giving him the opportunity to play competitive base¥ball for an Austin area team for the first time in eight years. ÒItÕs awesome,Ó Quintanilla said. ÒI have a lot of memories right down the street. ItÕs good to back in Texas, with the warm weather. IÕm back in my home state again and IÕve got friends and family here so itÕs good.Ó In his first series with the Express, Quintanilla was brilliant. He hit a walk¥off single and went 2-for-4 in his Round Rock debut May 7, going 6-for-13 in his first three games. Quintanilla has since come back to Earth, hitting .235 since that opening series and .216 over his last 10 games. Despite his recent slump and the fact that the Rangers have a reliable shortstop in Elvis Andrus, there may still be a chance for Quintanilla to make Tex¥asÕ 40-man roster. ÒItÕs a tough process because thereÕs a lot of talented athletes out there,Ó he said. ÒSometimes youÕve got to be in the right place at the right time.Ó Until the ExpressÕ most recent contest, a 6-3 loss to Albuquerque, they held the PCL South Division lead for the entirety of QuintanillaÕs time with them. During QuintanillaÕs time in Colorado, he spent most of his days with the Triple-A squad in Colorado Springs, but managed to get 500 at-bats with the big league club. ÒIt was a dream come true,Ó Quintanilla said. ÒEverything I worked for paid off.Ó In Round Rock, Quintanilla and his teammates are enjoying a bit of success. The Express are on pace for the first win¥ning season since 2006 and before Tuesday, the Express held at least a share of the divi¥sion lead for 53 straight days. One of Quin¥tanillaÕs teammates, Taylor Teagarden, was also his teammate at Texas in 2003, when they were two of the LonghornsÕ top five hitters. ÒItÕs good because we talk about the old¥school days,Ó Quintanilla said. ÒBut itÕs good to have somebody that you know that you Omar Quintanilla takes a swing in a recent Express game. Quintanilla hit .329 in 2002, when Texas won the College World Series. James Garner Round Rock Express can talk about things from the past.Ó Two of QuintanillaÕs coaches, hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh and third-base coach Spike Owen, also played for Tex¥as. Both Coolbaugh and Owen played on CWS-participating teams, while Quinta¥nilla, in 2002, and Teagarden, in 2005, won national championships. ÒAt that age, it was just like you watch on TV with major league World Series,Ó said Quintanilla, who went 4-for-5 against South Carolina in the title-clinching win nine years ago. ÒYou win that and you want to do it at the next level. It makes you hun¥gry for that.Ó Hometown: Georgetown, TX TexasÕ closer Corey Knebel was named the Freshman Pitcher of the Year by Collegiate Baseball. This season, Knebel set the school freshman record for saves in a season with 17. He was also the Big 12 Freshman of the Year and a member of the All-Big 12 First Team. SPORTS BRIEFLY Dodds addresses controversy surrounding Rachel McCoy Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds did his best to reassure ev¥eryone after Colt McCoyÕs wife, Rachel, made some controversial comments Tuesday. ÒWe take compliance very seri¥ously at Texas,Ó Dodds said in an issued statement. ÒWe have pro¥cedures in place that enable our coaches, student-athletes and ad¥ministrators to make the right choices. We are performing our due diligence as always to make certain there are no outstanding compliance issues.Ó Mrs. McCoy called in to ESPNÕs ÒThe Herd with Colin CowherdÓ to discuss the relationship be¥tween boosters and student-ath¥letes at Texas. ÒYou cannot expect 19-to 20-year-old kids to say no to free stuff,Ó she said. ÒMy joke is that my biggest competition with Colt is not girls, itÕs 40-year-old men.Ó Ñ C.C. GREEN continues from PAGE 8 ÒIÕve definitely grown as a pitcher. IÕve learned a lot from my adversities, doing badly in the beginning of the year,Ó Green said. ÒI put a lot of pressure on myself to be great this year. When I didnÕt live up to it, I had to put myself in a different mind¥set and just be a competitor again.Ó Green has talked briefly with the Cin¥cinnati Reds, mostly Òmedical question¥naires and get-to-know-you stuff.Ó ÒThey told me after they drafted me ÔHey, congratulations. Take care of busi¥ness and weÕll talk after the season.ÕÓ Green is slated to start SaturdayÕs game against Arizona State. ÒWeÕve done well and we came a lot closer last weekend,Ó Green said. ÒBut this next weekend is important for my ideas and dreams of a national championship, which is why I came back.Ó ACE continues from PAGE 8 er in college baseball. Helenihi takes his free base, which puts Tigers on first and second. Jung¥mann, clearly rattled, throws ball one to the next batter, Tyler Hanover. Then he throws ball two. Jungmann is pulled from the game, replaced by fellow freshman Austin Dicharry. Hanover strikes out, but a sharp double down the left-field line by the next batter, DJ LeMahieu, scores both the runner on second and Helenihi to tie the game 6-6. The Tigers won it two innings lat¥er. Jungmann was credited with the tying run. ÒAnytime you have an outing like that, you spend the whole night thinking about how you could fix it,Ó he said. The next night, Jungmann re¥deemed himself, throwing a com¥plete game, allowing one run on five hits and striking out nine Tigers in a 5-1 win. He threw 120 pitches that night. But still, you couldnÕt help but think about the fact that, had he done his job in game one, the series would have been over and Texas would have been headed back to Austin with its seventh national championship. ÒI still think about it,Ó he said. ÒI see the guys like [volunteer assistant coach] Travis Tucker who are still around here that were on the team. I think about if I were able to close that first game out, we could have won it.Ó The cruelty of baseball revealed it¥self in game three, where Jungmann had to watch as the Tigers pounced Ñ winning 11-4 in a runaway. He took what he had to learn the hard way in Omaha Ñ to not play out of the moment Ñ and applied it to his sophomore season, winning eight games, none bigger than game two in the Super Regional against TCU. Staring down elimination Ñ the Horned Frogs had won the first of the best-of-three series Ñ Jungmann pitched his team to a 15-1 win. ÒI try not to think about situations,Ó he said. ÒYou have to try not to look at a big game differently.Ó Texas forgot to save some runs, and lost it the next day 4-1. This season, Jungmann has tak¥en dominance to another level. Be¥fore postseason play, he was the na¥tionÕs best at 13-0, with an ERA of less than one. After he took down Texas A&M in the biggest game of the year Ñ in College Station, no less Ñ head coach Augie Garri¥do said that his ace was the best he had seen since Jered Weaver. Texas pitching coach Skip Johnson, who has groomed big-leaguers such as Clayton Kershaw and Homer Bai¥ley, agreed with Garrido. ÒI think heÕs probably the best IÕve ever coached,Ó Johnson said. ÒHe has a gift.Ó The Big 12 Pitcher-of-the-Year Award went to Jungmann, and heÕs been named one of three finalists for the Golden Spikes Award, college baseballÕs Heisman Trophy. Every¥thing was going so well for him, un¥til rare and unexpected failure final¥ly struck again Saturday against Kent State in the Austin Regional. His eyes are wet and his voice is strained. It is the most uncomfort¥able press conference of Taylor Jung¥mannÕs life. He has just been rocked by Kent State in a pivotal game of the Austin Regional, and now, his Long¥horns are a loss away from elimina¥tion. Nobody knew how to deal with it Ñ his teammates admit they are shocked to see their All-American pitcher get knocked out by a three¥seed. Said senior first baseman Tant Shepherd: ÒWe had never seen any¥thing like that happen to him.Ó The last thing Jungmann wants to do af¥ter this loss, his first of the year, is sit in front of the hot lights and answer the mediaÕs whys and hows. ÒI just didnÕt have it,Ó he says, staring into space. In the sixth inning, Jungmann was mercifully pulled from the game. As he walked off the mound and into the dugout after allowing a grand slam, a walk and a single in one inning, he was given a standing ovation by the gracious Texas crowd, aware that it might never see big No. 26 on the mound at Disch-Falk again. ÒBy the time I was done pitching, I wasnÕt happy,Ó he said. ÒI didnÕt even hear them.Ó Thankfully for Jungmann, the Longhorns sent Texas State and Kent State home, winning three in a row to set up this weekendÕs Super Re¥gional. Now Jungmann gets the ball Friday with the chance to redeem his reputation as the best big-game pitcher around and set the tone for a possible return trip to Omaha. And we all know how Jungmann reacts to failure. ÒIÕve been bad before,Ó he said, ÒAnd the next time up, itÕs a totally different game.Ó This yearÕs NBA Finals follow Hollywood script By Sameer Bhuchar Daily Texan Columnist As a sports writer, I can be the first one to tell you that sports arenÕt always exciting. As a matter of fact, they are generally more boring for us sports journalists than they are for the fans. They become rote and lend themselves to only a handful of the same cliches. But every now and again a series or a game comes along that is filled with the roman¥ticized narratives sports seem to embody only in movies. I call it the Mighty Ducks Com¥plex, and this yearÕs NBA Fi¥nals are the iconic Iceland vs. Team USA in D2: The Mighty Ducks. Think about it. If we were to call in a Hollywood crew and have them recast the whole movie, this is how I imagine theyÕd do it. Playing the role of Charlie Conway would be Dirk Now¥itzki. As a Houston sports fan, it is difficult to admit the lead¥er of my archrival team would lead Team USA, but you have to admit itÕs plausible. For starters, he is the team cap¥tain. Remember that icon¥ic scene in the trilogy where Coach Bombay sticks the cap¥tainÕs ÒCÓ on CharlieÕs jersey? Remember how Charlie leads the team with his stealthy Òtri¥ple-dekeÓ juke move? That ob¥viously connects to the fancy move Nowitzki put on Chris Bosh in Game 2 to make that game winning layup. Playing the role of Fulton Reed, one half of the ÒBash BrothersÓ duo, is Tyson Chan¥dler . For those who donÕt re¥member this bad-boy charac¥ter, Reed was known for his hard hits and physical defense. Chandler exemplifies this. He snagged 16 physical rebounds in Game 4 and added a much¥needed scoring presence in that game with 13 points. Chandler has also drawn the most fouls in the Finals with 25, has grabbed the most of¥fensive rebounds with 20 and has the most second-chance points in the Finals with 17. Jason Terry would be cast as Russ Tyler, the kid played by Kenan Thompson who al¥ways yelled ÒitÕs knuckle-puck time!Ó Tyler was that spark for the Mighty Ducks when they needed it most. He would line up his shot, flip that puck on its side, and strike it with a slap shot that, if my memory serves me correctly, left a burn mark in the glove of a goalie. Terry plays a similar role for his Mavericks. He is meant to be that burst of energy in the fourth quarter when Ameri¥ca, er I mean, the Mavericks, mount the improbable come¥back. And his jet imitation af¥ter every shot is a lot like Ty¥lerÕs pre-shot Òknuckle-puck timeÓ yelp. I understand why some of you think this analogy is a stretch. Who on the Heat is Gunnar Stahl, the Iceland cap¥tain? What role would Dwayne Wade play? Is Rick Carlisle re¥ally comparable to Coach Bombay? And who the heck would play Goldberg? To that I say: I have no idea, and I en¥courage you to chime in to fill the rest of this analogy out. What I can say for sure is that very few sports narratives compare to the one this NBA Finals has written. It has ev¥erything from overcoming in¥juries, stars falling from grace, underdogs rising above the critics and star athletes play¥ing at their ultimate best for more than just a ring. This se¥ries offers the dogged pride, honor and humility that only HollywoodÕs best can script.

Taylor, an outfielder from the University of Georgia, was a 33rd-round pick of the Texas Rangers, while Lam¥othe, a reliever from San Ja¥cinto College, was the Hous¥ton AstrosÕ 40th-round selection. Taylor was left paralyzed from the chest down after he broke his neck in March dur¥ing a game when he collided with teammate Zach Cone, the RangersÕ supplemental¥round pick Monday. Texas director of amateur scouting Kip Fagg said the teamÕs se¥lection of Taylor was Òsome¥thing we felt was right.Ó ÒWe would have drafted him either way, regardless of any other circumstances in¥volving his injury or ZachÕs draft status,Ó Fagg said. ÒOur area scout in Georgia, Ryan Coe, has had a relationship with Johnathan since he was a high school player. The club has always liked his pas¥sion and ability as a player.Ó Taylor hit .335 last year as a sophomore for the Bulldogs, and was hitting .182 with two RBIs in 11 games at the time of his injury. Fagg added that he and a few other Texas officials visit¥ed Cone during Òthe course of normal pre-draft activityÓ and gave him a Rangers jersey to give to Taylor that was signed by the entire angers team. ÒThis was truly a classy move and a great gesture on the part of the Texas Rangers organization,Ó Georgia coach David Perno said. ÒJ.T. is def¥initely a player worthy of get¥ting drafted. HeÕs been a big part of our program, and we are all very excited for him. When I talked to him after he got the call, he was in the middle of his rehabilitation 48th round. Philadelphia general man¥ager Ruben Amaro Jr. drafted his nephew, Andrew, in the 47th round. St. Louis took Liberty catcher Casey Rasmus, the brother of outfielder Colby Rasmus, in the 36th round. The sons of former ma¥jor leaguers Bobby Bonilla, Alex Fernandez and Charlie Leibrandt were also among the players whose names were called Wednesday. Pitchers were the most commonly picked players this year with 793, includ¥ing 575 right-handers. Every state except Maine was repre¥sented, and 61 foreign-born players were taken, led by 33 from Canada. Vanderbilt University had the most col¥lege players drafted with 12, including first-rounder Son¥ny Gray. NOW LEASING IN WEST able for Summer & Fall move-in. Starting at $650!!! Most Bills Paid!!!

Questions? E-mail us at managingeditor@dailytexanonline.com By Rachel Perlmutter Daily Texan Staff Three dancers move to the cen¥ter of the room into their posi¥tions. Their tap shoes click-clack against the wooden floors. Swing music plays over loudspeakers, and the dancersÕ feet begin to flut¥ter in a symphony of rhythm. The room quickly becomes a seamless cycle of tapping, at least one pair of feet always in musical motion. Yesterday night marks the begin¥ning of the Tapestry Dance Com¥panyÕs 11th annual Soul to Sole festival. The event celebrates the classic American art of tap danc¥ing through a weekend of per¥formances, over 75 master dance classes, film screenings and a pan¥el discussion in which faculty and company dancers will take ques¥tions and discuss contemporary is¥sues in their field. Tapestry Dance Company, a nonprofit dance organization and home to a full-time professional tap dance company in South Aus¥tin, was founded by Executive Ar¥tistic Director Acia Gray and Edu¥cation Director Deirdre Strand in 1989. They started the company as a way to provide dance education to the community and develop a strong foundation for multi-form dance performance. The studio is also home to the International Tap Association, making it the central portal for everything going on in the tap dancing world, Gray said. Previously, the company would hold an International Tap Dance Day celebration with just a few classes and small performances. ÒThen we thought, ÔYou know, we need to make this a festival,ÕÓ Gray said. Over the course of 11 years, the festival has grown from three fac¥ulty artists to 10 from around the world, Gray said. The featured art¥ists are specifically chosen by Gray based on their professionalism and attitude. ÒI honestly only invite people that I respect artistically but that I also like,Ó Gray said. ÒItÕs funny to say it that way, but there are some people who are really gifted but difficult, and I donÕt tolerate that at all.Ó The professional artists will show off their tapping talent Satur¥day night in the faculty showcase, which will consist primarily of jazz tap improvised to live music. Friday night will feature a par¥ticipant showcase. Students from TapestryÕs classes will be inter¥spersed with performances by the professional dance company. Dancers will participate in a tap jam, accompanied by music from a jazz trio led by Michael Stevens. ÒA tap jam is like an open mic that stays in rhythm,Ó Gray said. ÒUsually itÕs two dancers musi¥cally talking to each other, chal¥lenging each other Ñ but in a playful way.Ó Through the festival, Tapestry hopes to keep a legacy and connec¥tion to the traditions and impor¥tance of tap dance. Gray said she hopes the festival imparts a sense of appreciation for the art form on those who attend. ÒMy wish would be to have ev¥erybody who walks in the door see and feel tap dance in a new and unique way and want to share it with somebody Ñ that would be a very special thing,Ó Gray said. While tap dancing is challeng¥ing, Gray said it is up to each indi¥vidual what type of experience they want to have. TapestryÕs studio is a safe place to learn, but Gray said it can still be challenging if you want to push yourself. ÒItÕs not about which person is better than the other; itÕs about be¥ing supportive,Ó Gray said. For Gray, in comparison to oth¥er festivals, Soul to Sole is special because it encompasses AustinÕs acceptance of eclectic artistry. ÒJust like Austin, [the festival] has an Austin feel with its unique, eclectic and challenging personali¥ty,Ó she said.

Anytime is Òbeer:30Ó when itÕs this hot outside. Aside from your usual cold Mill¥er High Life or a Lonestar, a hefe¥weizen is also a traditional, icon¥ic Texas summer beer with hints of banana and clove. You can probably even find me on a thirsty Thursday sipping a hefe with a lemon slice at Hole in the Wall. Hefeweizen means Òyeast wheatÓ: ItÕs a wheat beer and brewers keep the yeast used to ferment the drink floating around. Some people donÕt prefer it so cloudy, though, so anoth¥er popular cousin would be kristall¥weizen, meaning the brewery has filtered all that out to leave it as clear as a crystal. Regardless of all the German, both are wheat ales from Bavaria that get their flavor from the region¥al strain of yeast. As many brewers say, yeast is an organism that eats the sugary starches, burps up carbon di¥oxide and farts alcohol. If thatÕs got you concerned, keep in mind itÕs the same process for wine, as well as so¥das such as root beer or kombucha. ÒYeast was only discovered when they invented the microscope,Ó ex¥plained Yan Matysiak, a quality con¥trol technologist who studies yeast for Live Oak Brewery. ÒThey just called it ÔstuffÕ before then. Of course they knew that when they added it, they had a pretty tasty drink. But when they isolated the yeast, they got certain flavors and over time it developed sub-flavors as they made purer strains.Ó Specifically, weÕre talking about a top-fermenting yeast usually associ¥ated with ales. According to the beer enthusiast publication BeerAdvocate, ales fer¥ment within a week and thrive in Bavarian summers. Lagers, the oth¥er major category for beers, are usu¥ally stored after fermentation and use yeast that lives in colder weath¥er. German monks who were brew¥ing in the Middle Ages developed a rhythm to match the seasons, which carried over to German immi- BEER continues on PAGE 13 Musical duo inspires dancing on ÔSidewalksÕ By Julie Rene Tran Daily Texan Staff From stripping down to their birthday suits in the middle of Times Square in their music video ÒLesson LearnedÓ to turning their audience into a balloon-flying, dance pit at this yearÕs Fader Fort concert, the unex¥pected is expected when it comes to Brooklyn-duo Matt & Kim. The chipper, high-energy, indie rock-pop band is known for keeping it low-key, yet still fun, with Kim SchifinoÕs fast, slapdash beats and Matt JohnsonÕs poppy keyboarding and happy voice. The couple returns to Austin Sat¥urday for an outdoor concert at StubbÕs BBQ. The Texan interviewed keyboardist and singer Matt Johnson about the bandÕs crazy antics, latest album, Sidewalks, and love for each other. Daily Texan: The last time I saw you was at Fader Fort and man, that show was crazy. I never thought moshing and Matt & Kim would go hand in hand. Johnson: Hah, yeah. Well, we al¥ways have a really active crowd, but more and more, IÕll see moshing go¥ing down. DT: So what other crazy antics have happened at your shows? Johnson: We had this music video years ago where there was food being thrown at us. That definitely inspired people to throw food and whatnot at us. DT: HowÕs the Sidewalks, tour so far? Johnson: ItÕs been awesome. So far, weÕve played in Brooklyn, Philadel¥phia, Baltimore, North Carolina and now weÕre in Atlanta. Speaking of hot and sweaty, it was one of those real¥ly hot days in Philadelphia. It was 100 degrees out and the venue did not re¥ally have air conditioning. I almost passed out on stage. DT: Sidewalks, is especially cheer¥ful, fun and energetic, but songs such as ÒSilver TilesÓ and ÒNortheastÓ do show off a more serious side to you two. What musical experiments did you and Kim take in Sidewalks? Johnson: We go into every al¥bum with the same intention, DUO continues on PAGE 13
