With 15 days until Election Day in what appears to be a deadlocked race, the two men vying for the position of com- mander-in-chief squared off on foreign policy in the third and final presidential debate Monday night. President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney sparred over America’s role as an international power with particular attention given to America’s policies toward Libya, Iran and China. The candidates also discussed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at length. Seated at a table with CBS News correspondent Bob Schieffer, the first half of the debate continued the testy back-and-forth exchanges that characterized much of the second debate, although the candidates found com- mon ground in drawing the connections between national security and the economy. Obama emphasized the im- portance of a strong domestic economy and educational sys- tem to achieve America’s goals Today’s hip-hop lacks political themes because of pressures from the mu- sic industry, said an Afri- cana Studies professor from Brown University. Tricia Rose, professor of Africana Studies at Brown University, examined the lack of social critique in cur- rent hip-hop during a lecture hosted by the Senior Fellows Honors Program of the UT College of Communication on Monday. She said the commercial success of hip- hop and the cultural identi- ties common among hip-hop artists have led to the genre’s retreat from politics since its emergence in the ‘80s. In the ‘90s the music indus- try realized hip-hop’s potential as a profitable musical form. Rose said the original intent of hip-hop was to tell long narra- tives of struggle for margin- alized minority groups, but as the genre became hyper- commercialized, the lyrics evolved into narrower, more superficial images. “At its most broad media moment it has this trin- ity of ‘gangster-pimp-ho’ where that’s all you can be in hip-hop,” Rose said. Rose said other roles ex- ist, but the trinity dominates current narratives because to be authentic, artists have to identify as a gangster, pimp or ho. “The images of the trin- ity mirror, almost identi- cally, 300 years of racial ste- reotyping of black people,” Rose said. She said that as a result, the As he continues efforts to make building a gun as sim- ple as pressing the print but- ton, law student Cody Wil- son’s life is getting more and more hectic. Wilson has begun plans for three new companies, ap- peared in the New York Times and spoken with officials from the cable network HBO all within the last month. The recent attention Wilson has received focuses on the development of a project he calls “Wiki Weapon.” The project involves the devel- opment of digital designs for guns that can easily be shared and produced with a 3D printer, a generally plas- tic piece of machinery used for manufacturing solid ob- jects from digital designs. Although the creation of such technology is not a new idea, Wilson’s efforts mark an attempt to advance it and make it mainstream Future plays by UT’s Col- lege of Fine Arts scheduled for second graders in the Aus- tin Independent School Dis- trict have been put on hold because of concerns about the “age appropriateness” of a play about two male penguins who adopt and hatch an egg. UT was scheduled to pe- form “And Then Came Tango,” an adaptation of the children’s book “And Tango Makes Three,” for 10 elementary schools, but after performing the play for Lee Elementary School for the first time Oct. 16, AISD stopped the tour to discuss the play further. UT was supposed to perform the play for Campbell Elemen- tary School on Tuesday, but instead UT students will per- form it for AISD elementary school principals, who are still reviewing the play. Elyse Smith, Lee Elementa- ry School’s principal, did not return emails or phone calls for comment. The play for Campbell Elementary School is the second of the tour to be can- celed. This is not the first year UT has performed plays for AISD students. AISD spokesperson Alex Sanchez said the is- sue is whether the play’s content is appropriate for second graders. “All of our principals and teachers support a mes- sage of love and acceptance for all. This has never been a question,” Sanchez said. “The question is one of age appropriateness based on the subject matter and parent permission.” “And Then Came Tango” is about two male penguins at a zoo who build a nest and become frustrated when their rock does not hatch into a baby penguin. So, a girl who To help remove boundaries that prevent aspiring dancers from continuing their train- ing, patrons of UT’s Sarah & Ernest Butler School of Music donated $250,000 to Ballet Austin’s Trainee Program. Ballet Austin announced the donation from Dr. Ernest and Sarah Butler on Wednes- day. Sarah Butler is the chair- woman of the Ballet Austin Foundation, created in 1998 to benefit Ballet Austin. The Butlers donated $55 million to the music school in 2008. “I am grateful for this wonderful donation and for the Butlers’ ongoing gener- osity. This gift helps remove barriers that could poten- tially deny some exceptional young people the chance to continue their training,” Bal- let Austin Artistic Director Stephen Mills said in a press release. “The Butlers un- derstand the importance of the opportunity for focused and intensive study in or- der for a young dancer to be ready to enter a highly com- petitive artistic discipline.” Ballet Austin named its downtown headquarters the Butler Dance Education Cen- ter after the Butlers when they donated $3.5 million to the organization.

But when the zoo gets bad publicity be- cause of the pair, there is talk of splitting the penguin fam- ily. However, the play ends with the egg hatching and Roy and Silo getting to stay together. The children’s book “And Tango Makes Three” is based on the true story of an identical situation at the Cen- tral Park Zoo in Manhattan. UT’s theater director Brant Pope said AISD’s re- sponse surprised him. “AISD’s Fine Arts Coordi- nator and principals had all gotten a plot synopsis,” Pope said. “We understandably assumed they were familiar with the play.” Pope said AISD has not been specific about what content within the play con- cerns them, although he has heard general concerns. “I do not know if anyone has said what the precise nature of the objection is,” Pope said. A student in the play, who spoke to The Daily Texan on condition of anonym- ity because the cast and ensemble were told not to speak to the media, said AISD has not communicated its concern clearly. “It has been super vague,” the student said. “AISD has been very careful about their choice of words and very adamant that the problem is about sex and sexuality.” The student said the play does not have any themes of sex or sexuality. The student said the play deals with fami- lies and raising a child, not with sexual attraction. AISD starts sexual education in fifth grade, but not before. When UT put on the play for Lee Elementary School for the first time Oct. 16, the student said the second grad- ers there were interactive and responded well to the play. But on Thursday, the cast and ensemble found out their scheduled play at High- land Park Elementary School was canceled, and instead they performed the play for AISD’s Fine Arts Director. Both the student and Pope said UT sent a plot syn- opsis and teaching guides to the elementary schools weeks in advance. “We forwarded them ev- erything. They had a copy of everything,” the student said. “The educational packets asked questions for students and helped teachers facilitate conversation about this show with their students.” AISD spokesperson San- chez said AISD is still in discussion with UT about whether to require permis- sion slips, present the play to fifth graders or proceed with an alternative solution. Un- til a decision is reached, the tour has been put on hold. and accessible. Wilson said since he began making headlines with the project earlier this month, he has seen a tre- mendous response both nationally and within the University from people who want to be involved in the project. “I’ve met quite a bit of UT students through the Libertarian Longhorns and through emails people have sent me,” Wilson said. “There is a lot of volunteer talent. There are a couple [of UT stu- dents] I have been talking to that just want to do anything [to get involved].” He said he has been dis- cussing his project with major companies that want to be involved in his project and was recently contacted by HBO representatives about a movie deal. Jose Nino, history senior and president of Libertarian Longhorns, an organization that promotes decreased government regulation, said he sees opportunities with the project and has been talking to Wilson about speaking at UT. “I think it’s a great form of technology,” Nino said. Wilson said he recently began planning three sepa- rate companies to work around the project. He said the first company, Defense Distributed, will be a nonprofit organization that will be used to share the research with the rest of the world, with the aim of ad- vancing this type of research. Nonprofit organizations are exempt from some federal income taxes. The second company, Liberty Laboratories, will be a limited liability corpora- tion that will focus on the manufacturing of products once development is ad- vanced further, Wilson said. The third company, which has not yet been named, will be a private asset organiza- tion meant to protect the progress of the project. Wilson said although he sees issues with the develop- ment of his technology, he doesn’t believe that it could or should be regulated, and he hopes there are not at- tempts to do so. He said he believes some technol- ogy cannot be controlled by the government. “I think at some point, if we have any measure of success, we are going to be painted as bogeymen,” Wilson said. He said he expects to print his first gun in five to six weeks. students enrolled, Ballet Aus- tin is one of the nation’s largest classical ballet academies. The Academy is split into five areas of study and the Trainee Pro- gram is the most senior level of the Academy. The intensive professional-track program allows students to practice up to 17 hours per week. The program offers trainees instruction in classical bal- let and more contemporary forms of dance. Ballet Aus- tin selects trainees through a nationwide audition and the trainees have the opportunity to rehearse and perform with Ballet Austin in selected per- formances. Although most of the training occurs in the studio, the program provides opportunities for trainees to attend educational work- shops, lectures and meetings with dance professionals from related industries. Tuition for one trainee for 35 weeks is $5,500. Thir- ty percent of Ballet Aus- tin’s main company roster graduated from the Train- ee Program, according to Ballet Austin’s website. UT’s Sarah and Ernest But- ler School of Music was re- named in honor of the Butlers following their donation, the largest single gift to a music school at a public university, according to an article in the Austin Business Journal. Psychology sophomore Mike Leberknight, who takes classes in the Butler School of Music, said the building is well equipped with instru- ments and spaces for students to practice music. “The school is great. There are two floors full of music practice rooms and most in- clude pianos. It is one of my favorite places on campus because of its modern archi- tecture,” Leberknight said. “I am happy to see the Butlers continue to donate to the Austin community.” 2News2Tuesday, October 23, 2012The Daily TexanVolume 113, Issue 50 Main Telephone: (512) 471-4591Editor: Susannah Jacob(512) 232-2212editor@dailytexanonline.comManaging Editor: Aleksander Chan(512) 232-2217managingeditor@ dailytexanonline.comNews Office: (512) 232-2207news@dailytexanonline.comMultimedia Office: (512) 471-7835dailytexanmultimedia@gmail.comSports Office: (512) 232-2210sports@dailytexanonline.comLife & Arts Office: (512) 232-2209dailytexan@gmail.comRetail Advertising: (512) 471-1865joanw@mail.utexas.eduClassified Advertising: (512) 471-5244classifieds@dailytexanonline.comCONTACT USTOMORROW’S WEATHERHighLow8466Design fairy.

Romney said America has the “responsibility and privi- lege” of promoting peace and defending freedom abroad. Later in the debate, Romney also said America’s security and strength abroad are de- pendent on its economic strength at home. He blamed Obama’s economic policies for conveying weakness to the international community during the past four years. “In order to be able to fulfill our role in the world, America must be strong, America must lead,” Romney said. “And for that to happen, we have to strengthen our economy here at home. You can’t have 23 million people struggling to get a job.” Throughout the debate, which was held at Lynn University in Boca Ra- ton, Fla., Obama charac- terized Romney’s foreign policy positions as unsteady and continually changing. “What we need to do with respect to the Middle East is strong, steady leadership, not wrong and reckless leader- ship that is all over the map,” Obama said to Romney. “And unfortunately, that’s the kind of opinions that you’ve offered throughout this campaign.” In response, Romney criticized the president for failing to stand up for American values abroad and sending mixed messages to allies such as Israel. “The president began what I have called an ‘apology tour’ of going to various nations in the Middle East and criti- cizing America,” Romney said. “I think they looked at that and saw weakness.” Danny Zeng, College Republicans communica- tions director, said the presi- dent failed to put forward a clear and specific foreign policy strategy and instead used the opportunity to score political points. “The president didn’t re- ally talk about a coherent strategy for the Middle East and for dealing with China,” Zeng said. “What he did do was just attack Romney the whole time.” Sandra Ogenche, Univer- sity Democrats vice presi- dent, said Obama presented a clear contrast to Romney’s positions on foreign policy. “Obama made it clear that his foreign policy is based on understanding the region and putting America first, as opposed to Romney’s re- versal to the Bush policies,” Ogenche said.

To give consumers a differ- ent experience, Rose said hip- hop needs to tell the narrative of black men by providing lyrics that tell what they think about school, or what it feels like to be fearful because of crime in their neighborhood. David Junker, director of the Senior Fellows Honors Program, said cultural expres- sions become commodified because artists want to be- come popular. “There is always a dilem- ma of how to compromise and do so while maintaining your artistic integrity and not eviscerating your music, not eviscerating political potential of your music while also ap- pealing to as many people as you can,” Junker said. He said artists that have achieved commercial success have the opportunity to ad- dress the questions that popu- lar hip-hop avoids. “There is always a kernel of resistance that is possible in hip-hop,” said Kathleen Feyh, a UT communication studies PhD alumna. “And we don’t see it in mainstream hip-hop — it is gone from that domain.” — Kathleen Feyh Communication studies alumnaThere is always a kernel of resistance that is possible in hip-hop.‘‘ trainee Thir- Aus- roster Train- to But- re- Butlers the music university, the sophomore takes School building instru- students There music in- my campus archi- I Butlers the University Program Discounted tools and free samples to educatorsTI is dedicated to helping tomorrow’s engineers dream big, today.

The defendants, all promi- nent scientists or geological and disaster experts, were sen- tenced to six years in prison. Earthquake experts world- wide decried the trial as ri- diculous, contending there was no way of knowing that a flurry of tremors would lead to a deadly quake. Italian officials and experts have been prosecuted for quake-triggered damage in the past, including a 2002 school collapse in southern Italy. But that case centered on allega- tions of shoddy construction in quake-prone areas. Among those convicted Monday were some of Italy’s best known and most inter- nationally respected seis- mologists and geological experts, including Enzo Bos- chi, former head of the Na- tional Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. ORLANDO, Fla. — The first of a dozen defendants to be sentenced in last year’s haz- ing death of a Florida A&M drum major avoided jail time when he received his pun- ishment Monday, but he will spend more than two years under close supervision. Brian Jones was given six months of community con- trol, which strictly limits his freedom with frequent check- ins with probation officials. Following that, the 23-year- old from Parrish, Fla., will serve another two years of probation. He’s also required to perform 200 hours of community service. Judge Marc Lubet said Jones’s role in the hazing death of Robert Champion was relatively minimal and that Jones did not beat or hit Champion. Champion died last November after being beaten by fellow band mem- bers during a hazing ritual aboard a bus parked out- side an Orlando hotel after a football game. Eleven other band mem- bers are awaiting trial on fel- ony hazing charges, while an- other band member faces a misdemeanor hazing count. Jones had entered a no- contest plea Oct. 9 to the third-degree felony hazing charge after initially pleading not guilty. Champion’s parents and friends say the drum major was a vocal opponent of haz- ing, but finally relented last November and got aboard “Bus C,” which was known for hazing. Pam and Robert Cham- pion Sr. both attended Mon- day’s sentencing. Champion was seeking the top position in the famed marching band, leading doz- ens who had already endured the hazing ritual. The March- ing 100 has performed at Su- per Bowls and presidential inauguration parades, and some felt the leadership posi- tion had to be earned. What awaited him was a punishing scrum in which about 15 people pushed, struck, kicked and grabbed at participants as they tried to wade down the aisle from the bus’s driver seat to touch the back wall, ac- cording to interviews with investigators. After finish- ing the ordeal, Champion vomited and complained of trouble breathing. He soon fell unconscious and couldn’t be revived.

Scientists convicted in quake deathsBy Kyle HightowerAssociated PressBy Annalisa Camilli & Frances D’Emilio Associated PressCAIRO — The Simon Wi- esenthal Center, which moni- tors anti-Semitic incidents worldwide, has made a strong condemnation of Egypt’s new President Mohammed Morsi after he attended a sermon where the preacher called for the “destruction and dispersal of the Jews.” A video emailed by the cen- ter showed Morsi at a mosque in the Mediterranean town of Marsa Matruh, where the congregation answers “Amen” to a cleric. In one of the prayers, the cleric asked God to “destroy the Jews and their support- ers and disperse them, rend them asunder.” Morsi is then seen continuing to say Amen. The prayers were aired on state TV and caught on vid- eo by MEMRI, a pro-Israel media monitoring group. CHICAGO — Parents who want to reduce their kids’ ex- posure to pesticides may seek out organic fruits and veg- etables, but they aren’t neces- sarily safer or more nutritious than conventional foods, the American Academy of Pedi- atrics, the nation’s leading pe- diatricians group, says in its first advice on organics. The report was published on- line Monday in Pediatrics and echoes a Stanford University study released last month. That research concluded that while eating organic fruits and vegeta- bles can reduce pesticide expo- sure, the amount measured in conventionally grown produce was within safety limits. Organic food study finds little substance— Compiled from Associated Press reportsSherry Hu, Wire Editor World & Nation3Tuesday, October 23, 2012 Teaching is a tough love. The profession’s low pay and lack of esteem in society deters many bright and interested individuals from join- ing it. With that in mind, in 1997, UT launched UTeach, a teacher preparation program for students in the Science, Technology, Engineer- ing and Mathematics (STEM) fields. UTeach allows students from various majors to obtain a teaching certificate upon graduation and pro- vides students with scholarship opportunities and strong networking relationships. But UTS 101 (in the College of Natural Sci- ences) and UTL 101 (in the College of Liberal Arts), the first sequence classes for the UTeach program, are worth only one meager credit hour per semester. That fact turns many students away from joining UTeach. Those who have never taken one of these classes may think that this lack of credit is reasonable for an introduc- tory course, but UTeach courses teach far more than just classroom basics. UTS 101 and UTL 101 incorporate in-class teaching experiences, requiring students to pre- pare lesson plans and teach students in schools around Austin, with an emphasis on hands-on instruction and classroom participation. I highly applaud this approach, but I also wonder if it is worth the students’ time. Creating lesson plans and teaching at local schools demands far more time and effort than what already busy students are willing to give for only one credit hour. Carlos Bowles, the program coordinator for UTeach Liberal Arts, says the administration’s de- cision to assign one credit hour to these courses hinges on the total allocations of credit hours for special development programs, as regulated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Given those constraints and given that courses in the later sequence of the program are more closely related to the teaching profession, Bowles believes that assigning one credit hour to the UTeach pro- gram’s introductory courses is an incentive for students who are unsure whether they are really interested in teaching to join the program. This allows them to discover their level of interest in teaching without significant risk to their GPA. However, students in UTS 101 and UTL 101 face challenges that real teachers encounter every day, although they are assisted by their teaching partners and teaching assistants. As such, they should be rewarded with at least one extra credit hour for their efforts and for their willingness to give it a try. Giving more credit hours for the in- troductory courses will attract more interested students to the program. Bowles also mentions that adding an extra credit hour to introductory courses will increase students’ tuition cost, and therefore, will not make the program more appealing for students to enroll. But full-time students who are taking 12 hours or more will not have to pay extra because of UT’s flat rate tuition above 12 hours. So why not add just one more credit hour for the amount of effort and commitment of the students who take the courses in question? UTeach has come very far since its es- tablishment in 1997 and has inspired many other institutions across the country to take similar initiatives. If UTeach rewards its students a bit more generously, it will at- tract more students, produce more passion- ate teachers and make university students — who will soon sending their own kids to school — more appreciative of the job teach- ers do and the service they provide. Mohd Ridzuan is an economics sophomore from Malaysia. As a self-identified Cherokee, I have understood since I was seven years old that America’s indigenous population has survived and is still here. Still, our educational system largely fails to recognize the decimation of Native Ameri- can peoples that occurred for centuries, and the conse- quences of that failure are evident here at UT-Austin. Consider photos from Texas Tribe, a student service organization on campus. Photos on the group’s website posted in September showed group members wear- ing war paint on their faces, feathers in their hair and costumes vaguely resembling traditional Native Ameri- can garb, mugging for the camera and making the “how” hand signal, a stereotypical representation of a Native American greeting. This is in line with the group’s overall Native American theme. The group’s logo is in the shape of a teepee, and the name is in a font that implies that Native Americans wrote exclusively on wood bark. The very name Texas Tribe, while not necessarily offensive in itself, helps bind all of the other caricatures together. Longhorn American Indian Council filed a complaint against Texas Tribe, claiming that the photos posted in September were disrespectful to Native American culture. Texas Tribe quickly removed the photos from their site. The group was never in danger of dissolution; student or- ganizations cannot be dissolved unless they violate Uni- versity policy, and Texas Tribe did not do so. But as of the end of September, UT’s Campus Climate Response Team was “in the process of reaching out to the organization in question to have an educational conversation about the intent and impact of the group’s activities.” This is merely one example of a much more perva- sive issue. Texas Tribe’s band-and-feather hats are really no different from the Indian costumes kids wear for el- ementary school Thanksgiving plays. Cultural appro- priation happens all the time, and most of the time it’s not a big deal. They’re just accessories to create a sense of the past and the exotic. But Texas Tribe’s actions are offensive for two reasons. Firstly, Native Americans are a doubly objectified mi- nority. Representations of them in American popular culture have oscillated over the years between “heathens” in need of enlightenment through Christianity and “no- ble savages,” whose quaint culture and simple way of life were not compatible with European sophistication. The “heathen” label has become too politically incor- rect for today’s society, but the proud warrior remains widely accepted, and even glorified. The “noble savage,” we are told, is worthy of emulation for his basic good- ness and simple lifestyle, but, upon closer examination, it seems his charm stems from his ignorance. In today’s world, the “noble savage” motif can still be found in at- tempts to bring “economic security” to Native Ameri- can reservations, or in the Wamponoag statue that MIT linguist and noted activist Noam Chomsky came across one Thanksgiving that read, “Here stands a Wampono- ag woman who gave her life so that this noble country may grow and prosper.” Secondly, the Native American population has been so decimated by centuries of war, famine, disease and geno- cide that it is vastly disproportionate to the amount of stereotypical representation they receive in popular cul- ture. There simply aren’t enough of us to drown out the disrespectful aspersions cast on our culture. In the grand scheme of things, this is a pretty tame example of cultural insensitivity. There are far worse examples out there of stereotypes and disrespectful acts toward minority groups, and this one is on the low end of the scale. Furthermore, it’s highly unlikely that Tex- as Tribe meant any harm — but that in and of itself is a problem. If we don’t understand that what we’re do- ing is disrespectful, how can we be mindful of it and avoid it in the future? Knoll is a Latin American Studies senior from Dallas. For university students, October means midterm anxi- ety and Halloween mischief. For the UT System Board of Regents, however, it’s again time to invest in an unproven, festively punctuated online platform claiming to radically change the 21st-century university experience. Nearly a year to the day after the Board’s Oct. 2011 announce- ment that it had invested $10 million in myEdu — the online schedule and professor review site formerly known as Pick-A-Prof.com — the Board of Regents announced last Monday that it will now invest $5 million in edX, an open-source online educational platform established by MIT and Harvard. By becoming the fourth “X University,” the UT System — or UTx, as it is known at edX.org — will join the ranks of MIT, Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley by offering online courses through the site. According to UT System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa, edX will be used in a variety of instructional settings, including traditional “face-to-face” courses, “hybrid classes” and courses taught entirely online. For most UT students, online classes are what you take when you want to cross a difficult or pointless lower-division course requirement off of your degree plan. Taking introduc- tory history or beginner physics online from a Texas com- munity college while wearing pajamas in your apartment or sipping a latte at a coffee shop allows students to avoid the rigor and cost of classes taught in person on the Forty Acres. The classes offered by edX are not those classes. The site offers eight free courses for the fall 2012 semes- ter, including CS188.1x Artificial Intelligence from Berke- ley and 6.002x Circuits and Electronics from MIT. These courses are not offered for credit. Next fall, UT is sched- uled to offer four courses on the site. While these courses will also be free, the announcements by the Board of Re- gents and edX allude to the possibility of charging fees in the future if students want to earn credit from the courses they take through the site. Currently, students receive a certificate of completion upon successfully finishing one of edX courses. In the fu- ture, the organization says that this certificate may come at a cost. Additionally, Cigarroa has said that while UT’s initial online course offerings will be “open to the world for free,” the System is considering a tiered content model where certain for-credit courses would cost tuition. His proposal begs the question, what are college students pay- ing for — the knowledge learned in class, or the piece of paper we get afterwards that says we know the material? EdX says that the rigor of its courses is consistent with its member universities, but the recent addition of the UT System to edX challenges that claim. UT-Austin is not Har- vard, and UT-Pan-American is not UT-Austin. Cigarroa indicated that all of the UT System courses offered next summer and fall on the edX website are likely to come from UT-Austin. So while the entire UT System will benefit from membership in edX, it’s the System’s flagship campus that will be doing the heavy lifting. UT President William Powers Jr. praises edX’s potential to augment the University’s course transformation initia- tive, wherein course curricula are redesigned to take ad- vantage of up-to-date learning and teaching technology. “Hybrid” or “blended” university courses, in which some education happens in the classroom and some happens on- line, leverage the benefits of both learning models to stu- dents’ benefit. Fully online courses, like those that will be offered through edX, are as yet unproven substitutes for in-person learning — the kind of learning that has made UT and the other edX consortium schools some of the best in the world. Like it has done in the music and publishing industries, Internet technology promises to transform standard oper- ating procedure at institutions of higher education. UT ad- ministrators and regents would be wise to come out ahead of the technology curve by developing a clear vision for what a technology-based university degree will look like. The UT System’s investment in edX has the potential to lead the way in transformative learning, but so far System leadership has provided no vision for what this might look like. Without one, the partnership appears to be less about leading than about hitching a ride aboard higher educa- tion’s flavor of the month.

VIEWPOINTBy Nur Syairah Husna Mohd RidzuanGuest ColumnistGALLERYIf we don’t understand that what we’re doing is disrespectful, how can we be mindful of it and avoid it in the future? After a 21-day energy con- servation contest, UT’s Hon- ors Quad saved more than 115 kilowatt-hours of energy. The Quad Energy Chal- lenge, a contest that started Oct. 1, was held between the Littlefield, Andrews, Blanton and Carothers residence halls. Littlefield saved 22.8 kilowatt- hours of energy, Andrews saved 16.5 kilowatt-hours of energy, Blanton saved 61.1 kilowatt-hours of energy and Carothers saved 15.2 kilowatt- hours of energy. The winner was determined by the overall percentage of energy saved. Energy use in each building was monitored in the days before the competi- tion began, which enabled the residence halls to determine who was most effective in re- ducing energy use. Littlefield saved the most energy, with an 8.2 percent reduction in overall energy use. The floor in each building that saved the most energy won $500 for a social event. The winners were Little- field’s first floor, Andrews’ second, Blanton’s third and Carothers’ basement. Littlefield resident DeAnne Lee, a linguistics freshman, said she reminded fellow residents to be conscious of their energy use during the competition. “Personally, I would rage at people who were using the hand dryers in the bathroom,” Lee said. “Do you know that meme face — that really, re- ally ugly ‘NO’ face? That was me, every time I saw someone leave the laundry room light on. I thought, ‘I will end you.’” Not all students participated in the competition. Andrews resident Kate Oh, a Plan II and journalism freshman, said she did not change her habits for the competition because she did not see the point. “I never used that much energy to begin with, and I have energy-saving habits,” Oh said. “I turn off the lights when I leave the room and I don’t plug in unnecessary electronic devices.” Andrews had the least amount of energy savings, with a 3.1 percent reduction. Michelle Camp, the envi- ronmental science senior who headed the project, said she con- siders the challenge a success. “We measured significant savings in energy usage and witnessed the participation and enthusiasm of the resi- dents involved in the chal- lenge,” Camp said. “Through participation such as the com- munication of energy-saving tips, residents demonstrated their heightened awareness of energy consumption and increased knowledge about energy conservation.” Last year Camp submit- ted the proposal to the Green Fee Committee, a group that awards funds to various environmental projects across campus. The committee awarded Camp $23,230 for her project. — Additional reporting by Jordan RudnerA 1970s UT football star is once again in legal trou- ble after an Austin resident filed suit against him for fraud earlier this month. According to the suit, plantiff Matthew Hand loaned $40,000 to each of two men: Russell Erxleben, who was a kicker/punter for UT in the ‘70s, and co-defendant Fred Gladle. According to the suit, Erx- leben and Gladle promised to repay the loan and issue bonds valued at $350,000 to Hand after a one-month period. The defendants promised the value of the bonds was a “stipu- lated US Court value,” de- spite the fact that no U.S. court had set the bonds at that value, according to the suit. The bonds were never delivered, the suit claims. Both men’s wives are listed in the suit as beneficiary defendants because the suit claims they benefited from the fraud with the knowledge it occurred. The suit alleges Erxleben, Gladle and their wives led an extravagant lifestyle of houses, cars, clothes and a skybox at the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Sta- dium. Erxleben had been under investigation since at least 2008 for trying to sell gold-bearer bonds at misrepresented values and quantities. Boxes of Erxle- ben’s documents were taken as part of this investigation, according to the Austin American-Statesman. Erxleben served a prison sentence from 2000 to 2005 and was fined millions in monetary restitution after misrepresenting the per- formance of Austin Forex International, his former currency trading company. The company’s failure cost approximately 800 inves- tors a total of $50 million, according to the Philadel- phia Inquirer. More recent- ly, Erxleben was sued for breach of contract by As- sociated Drilling Company after failing to pay $20,675 for a well installed at his house in Dripping Springs. Gladle and his wife have not been previously charged with fraud. The couple was involved in foreclosure proceedings against their Austin residence, finalized in Oct. 2005. Erxleben played for the UT football team in the late ‘70s and is the only three- time All-American punter in NCAA history. After his time at UT, Erxleben was drafted by the New Orleans Saints, but only played for one year. Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP, a law firm that previously represented Erxleben, said it was not representing him in this case. Terry W. Yates & As- sociates, another law firm that previously represent- ed Erxleben, could not be reached for comment by press time. The Cagle Law Firm, P.C., which repre- sents Hand, also could not be reached by press time.

The Longhorns men’s golf team fell to a tie for third place after the sec- ond round of the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational on Monday but remained four strokes behind the leader. Texas, which sat alone in second place through round one, recorded a score of 7-over-295 as a team Monday to put it at 7-over- 583 for the tournament. The team was jumped by Illinois, which has tallied a two-day mark of 6-over- 582, and remains four stokes behind first place California, which sits three shots over par with a score of 579. Jordan Spieth, whose two-day score of 2-un- der-142 is good for a sec- ond place tie on the indi- vidual leaderboard, has led No. 2 Texas through two days. Freshman Brandon Stone registered the best individual round Monday for the Longhorns, carding a 1-under-71 to put him three strokes above par for the tournament.

By Lauren GiudiceBergeron embraces short-yardage role Marisa VasquezDaily Texan StaffTexas head coach Mack Brown sounded off on the Longhorn Network on Monday, saying “We were given a deal that we had no input in.” LHN causing Texas problemsJoe Bergeron has tunnel vi- sion when he gets the ball near the goal line. He doesn’t see the 100,000 fans at Dar- rell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. He doesn’t see the opponent’s defense targeting him. All he sees is the goal line. And he gets there. “I see the crease. I see the touchdown. I see the goal line, and that is really it,” Bergeron said. “I just hit it. Really, it is just a blur.” He said if anyone comes in his vision, he punishes them. Watch any of Bergeron’s touchdowns this season and it’s clear he is powerful, and he certainly isn’t afraid to get op- ponents out of the way. Last year, he had five rush- ing touchdowns. That tied him for ninth for most by a freshman in school history. During Texas’ fourth game this season he tied that num- ber. He now has 14 on the season. Ten of those touch- downs were runs less than five yards. Bergeron doesn’t mind be- ing called the short-yardage guy. Scoring five touch- downs in one game probably makes it a little easier to cope with that characterization. Against Baylor on Saturday, he finished one touchdown short of tying Heisman Tro- phy-winning running back Ricky Williams’ record of six touchdowns in one game. When the offense puts Bergeron close to the goal line, he’s going to get it in. He said scoring in those situations needs to be a guarantee. “A lot of people have con- gratulated me on getting four touchdowns, but it was just me playing ball, really,” Bergeron said after the Longhorns’ loss to West Virginia. “If you put the ball on the one, it is a gimme — we are going to pound it in there.” He has been pounding it in there all season long. He is tied for third in the FBS with 84 points scored this season. Running back Malcolm Brown’s ankle injury during the Oklahoma State game has kept him off the field. But Bergeron and freshman Johnathan Gray have been keeping the backfield produc- tive in Brown’s absence. Bergeron’s performance on and off the field inspires players. He is a fun guy who is known for working hard in practice. Bergeron calls the Oklahoma game “a wake-up call.” During the practices following that game, he and other mem- bers of the offense pushed themselves even harder than usual and stayed after prac- tice to get extra reps in. “This was a great week of prep,” co-offensive coor- dinator Bryan Harsin said. “Just their attitudes, mental- ity and the whole approach they took, which I believe is key to showing up Saturday and playing well. And you know, Joe has shown that. He really showed that this week in practice.” Bergeron is a selfless player. Even though it seems that he is hogging all of the rush- ing touchdowns (Gray got his first touchdown Satur- day), he is ready to step up when he needs to and is al- ways prepared for the calls his coaches make. Although most of his touch- downs have been on short- yard situations, he doesn’t al- low himself to specialize. “You cannot get in that mindset that, ‘I am better than this’ or ‘I am better than that.’ It is contagious and you are just going to bring down the rest of the team and ev- erybody else will be like, ‘Well I shouldn’t be doing this’ or ‘I shouldn’t be doing that.’ Whatever your role on the team is, you roll with that and you help your team win,” Bergeron said. The offensive linemen have all seen improvements from Bergeron both on and off the field. Offensive tackle Luke Poehlmann said it’s fun to block for selfless leaders like Bergeron. He said Bergeron and players like him get the offensive linemen excited. “He doesn’t see it as a Joe Bergeron touchdown or a Joe Bergeron first down,” Poehlmann said. “He sees it as a Texas touchdown, a Texas first down. That’s so encouraging to see.” Every Monday, Wednes- day and Thursday, a differ- ent show airs on the Long- horn Network featuring Texas football head coach Mack Brown. And every Monday, Wednesday and Thurs- day, he loses time he can’t get back to prepare for his team’s next game. Not just that, but virtually every day of the week, footage from Longhorns practice is aired on LHN. Brown has to love the millions of dollars being funneled into the already lu- crative athletic program his football team spearheads, but he can’t like the competitive disadvantage it can produce. “We’re a little overex- posed,” Brown said. “It changes when you’ve got a microphone at every speech on the field and in every drill. You definitely think about what [Baylor head coach] Art [Briles] is thinking when he’s sitting there watching you talk and coach your team.” Brown has good reason to be upset. Every coach spends time fielding ques- tions from the media. But when you have a round-the- clock LHN monster to feed, lines can be and have been crossed. No other college football program is feed- ing a monster that hungry, although a pair of Brown’s assistants downplayed the effects of the network. “We’re not going to prepare any different because they’re out there,” co-offensive coor- dinator Bryan Harsin said. “I sure don’t let it bother me. You know they’re there. I’m only conscious of it if they’re in a drill, if they’re in the way or a By Christian CoronaSports EditorFOOTBALL COLUMNgolf recap |peter sblendorioBrandon Stone FreshmanMLBNFLArmstrong titleless, banned from racingSeven lines of blanks. From 1999 to 2005. There will be no Tour de France winner in the record book for those years. Once the toast of the Champs-Elysees, Lance Armstrong was formally stripped of his seven Tour titles Monday and banned for life for doping. As far as the Tour is concerned, his victories never happened. He was never on the top step of the podium. The winner’s yellow jersey was never on his back. The decision by the In- ternational Cycling Union marked an end to the saga that brought down the most decorated rider in Tour history and exposed widespread cheating in the sport. “Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling, and he deserves to be forgot- ten in cycling,” said Pat McQuaid, president of the governing body. “Make no mistake, it’s a catastro- phe for him, and he has to face up to that.” — Associated PressSPORTS BRIEFLY“In honor of her album release I have @taylorswift13 on repeat today #thebest” Nathan Thornhill@NathanThornhillTOP TWEETON THE WEBWEEKEND Recaps Check out our fan- tasy football blog and coverage of the men’s tennis tournament. dailytexanonline.comGIANTS CARDINALS LIONSBEARS Joe Bergeron Carries Yards Touchdowns 20117246352012*9241814*Through six gamesLeaderboard Through Two Days 1California284-295=579 (+3) 2Illinois291-291=582 (+6) T3Texas 288-295=583 (+7) T3Florida297-286=583 (+7) 5New Mexico293-291=584 (+8) 7The number of Tour de France titles that have been stripped from Lance Armstrong.

Other than that, they’re on their own.” If anyone would be qualified to offer insight on what the relation- ship between LHN and Texas should be, it would be defensive coordina- tor Manny Diaz, a former ESPN production assistant. “I felt like they would sort of become wildflowers,” Diaz said. “There’s just cameras around. The fact that our cam- eras aren’t just going to the dot-com, they’re going to an ESPN broadcast part- ner — you can go on to anyone’s website in America and watch their practice.” Including the drive there and back, Brown estimates that an hour and a half of his day is consumed by LHN on days he tapes shows at its studios. Practice is closed to all media outlets other than LHN, although the longtime Long- horns head coach asks them to focus on individuals, rather than groups, where schemes and game plans are discussed. But make no mistake, Brown wants to change this arrangement. And he should. “We were given a deal that we had no input in,” Brown said. “We’ve been trying to make it the best for both, and at the end of the year, everybody’s go- ing to have to sit down and see what we need to change and look at what they need to change, but there needs to be some give and take both ways.” Some have joked the $300 million deal Texas made with ESPN to create the Longhorn Network was a curse of sorts. Since the contract was signed last January, the football team went 8-5 last season, neither Longhorns basketball squad won an NCAA tournament game and the baseball team failed to play in the postseason for the first time since 1998. As Brown said, the negative effects LHN is having on Texas’ athletic program may be more tangible than we thought. women’s tennis recap|Chris caraveoThe Longhorns’ improved performance at the Texas Re- gional Championships ends one day earlier than expected. Despite being shut out of the semifinals, the team gained valuable experience playing deep into the meet. The doubles tandem of se- nior Aeriel Ellis and sopho- more Noel Scott squared off against Texas Tech’s Nikki Sanders and Rashmi Tel- tumbde in Monday’s quar- terfinals. But the success of their 8-3 wins during the weekend did not translate into another win, as they were eliminated, 8-4. While Ellis and Scott took the court against the Red Raiders, junior Elizabeth Begley and sophomore Lina Padegimaite went up against Baylor’s Ema Burgic and Jordaan Sanford. But Begley and Padegimaite could not stave off elimination as the Lady Bears won 8-5. With the two losses Monday morning, the Longhorns will not have the chance to make it to the National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships by automatic qualification. The women made the most of their opportunities in Waco. Five of the six Texas players managed to rack up multiple wins at the meet. As early as it is in the season, it is important for the Long- horns to gain as many wins as possible and advance to face tougher competition. The most surprising as- pect of the Longhorns play in Waco came from their doubles teams. Sophomores Scott and Padegimaite played the last two meets together, yet this weekend they paired up with Ellis and Begley, respectively. Both teams still managed to notch a couple of wins despite not having played together in nearly a month.

From starting out at open-stage blues jams to play- ing the first Austin City Lim- its Music Festival fresh out of high school, the 28-year-old singer/songwriter’s tenure in the music industry has been a series of ever-growing peaks. Tuesday will mark yet another high point for the blues/soul guitarist: his ma- jor debut Blak and Blu reach- es stores nationwide courtesy of Warner Bros. Records. Leadoff track “Ain’t Mes- sin ‘Round” serves as an in- troduction, with a buoyant horn section and a ‘60s Re- volver groove asserting that this will not be a traditional blues album. Clark’s honey- drenched vocals glide over a wall of electric guitar buzz and tambourine clatter, pro- ducing a sound that is far more in line with the Black Keys than B.B. King. “When My Train Pulls In” follows, one of a handful of songs previously released on one of Gary’s three indepen- dently produced CDs. Here Clark flexes the guitar mus- cles that have made him such a can’t-miss live performer over the years, thrusting a metallic, Neil Young-esque one-note solo through a sig- nificant portion of the song’s 7:45 run time. The best tracks on Blak and Blu, however, are the newer songs. It would have been easy for Clark to go into the studio, rip through an album’s worth of blues and let Warner Bros. do the rest. Instead he follows his instincts into the realms of contemporary R&B (“Blak and Blue,” “You Saved Me,”), old-school rock ‘n’ roll (“Travis County”), doo-wop (“Please Come Home”) and even adds a touch of hip- hop on “The Life,” one of the strongest cuts on the record. The rest of the album swings back and forth be- tween hard-driving blues and smooth, marketable R&B. Its eclecticism could be a strength or weakness in terms of album sales; time will tell how the general pub- lic will react. To be fair, Blak and Blu is not perfect. The lyrics don’t always live up to the level of musicianship on display, and occasionally some of Clark’s experiments lack a sense of purpose (random baby nois- es at the end of the title track for example). But the sound is consistently engaging while maintaining credibility in the spheres of music’s past, present and future. At the very least it appears that Clark has emerged as a new force in organic popu- lar music, something that is always a welcome sight and sound to fans of the genre. healthy the next day.” Friends and extreme zeal- ots of Siegel’s blog credit her tips with easing the transi- tion from all-you-can-eat dorm food to learning to cook healthy. “It’s not that I didn’t know how to cook before, I just didn’t really know what to cook,” said Brittany Rasan- sky, a communication sci- ences and disorders senior and avid reader of the blog. “Most nights I just made grilled chicken.” The inspiration for her blog comes from activities Siegel does on a day-to-day basis and her reading material, which includes Self Magazine, Wom- en’s Health and, of course, her school curriculum. “I just made something that I’m going to post on the blog and timed it so I can have it for dinner tonight,” Siegel said. “I try to make it as true to life as possible. The blog keeps me accountable.” Food blogs are abundant online, but those close to Siegel said they had yet to see blogs by nutritionists or even college students that told readers more than how to cook a meal. “The thing about most food blogs is they just give you the recipe and move on,” Rasansky said. “The Slender Student will give you the recipe and the nutritional benefits behind it.” Siegel stresses the impor- tance of remaining realistic and accepting not every day will be a great one. She says her dietary rule of thumb is everything is good in mod- eration in terms of exercising and eating. “In college it’s easy to let yourself go, but it’s important to stay healthy,” psychology junior Melissa Leva said. Once Siegel becomes a registered dietitian, she plans to continue her blog but open it up to become an online forum for the community where her prospective clients can create accounts and have web-based communication. “I know the name of the blog is The Slender Stu- dent, but you can always be a student of slenderhood,” Siegel said. Inevitably, slip-ups make up a part of the daily grind, but Siegel and her slender- hopefuls just have to do even better the next day. “You should never deprive yourself, to deprive yourself is to set yourself up for fail- ure,” Siegel said. “You have to be realistic about what you want and how you’re going to obtain it. The only reason people feel frustrated is because they lose motiva- tion or focus.” MUSICBy Ricky SteinClark’s major debut joins new picksartist, but she is not tak- ing any cues from Shania Twain or Faith Hill; she is going bigger, to Car- ole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon terri- tory. Those aspirations mostly materialize as in- die chanteuse pattering, like in Mazzy Star B-side “Sad Beautiful Tragic.” She does not quite have the gravitas — at least not yet — to sell a sparse, somber arrangement. She does better at channeling those ideas into sky-wide arena an- thems like “All Too Well,” with its big, rushing mo- ment of cathartic release and the jangly roadhouse boogie of “Holy Ground.” For Swift and Red, bigger does better, like in the formidable grandeur of the title track. It is the album’s closer, “Begin Again,” where Swift has her epiphany: to be truly revealing, you have to let us see you bleed a little. Here, she finally acknowledges, in her classic, throwaway verse kind of way, that she is no longer the girl from Nashville, but a young woman facing de- cidedly adult problems: “And we walked down the block to my car / And I almost brought him up.” Red is an odd pack- age, but fitting given the place Swift is in her career. She sells out sta- dium tours and is one of the few artists who can sell so many albums. She has found country music superstardom, so this al- bum, her fourth, is her trying on everything else she could be, too — a musical coming-of-age. This CD/DVD release cap- tures the legendary LA band fresh off a European tour and back in their hometown at the height of their popular- ity. Jim Morrison makes it all the way through the entire set without getting arrested or passing out, somewhat of a rarity for the time period. The New Jersey-based indie-rock quintet’s third album is a continuation of their literate, punk-inflected sound. Standout tracks in- clude the pictorial “Still Life with Hot Deuce on Silver Platter” and Modest Mouse- influenced lead single “In a Big City.” SLENDER continues from page 10SWIFTcontinues from page 10Barry Brecheisen | Associated PressGary Clark Jr. performs at the Bridge School Benefit Concert at the Shoreline Amphitheatre on Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012, in Mountain View, Calif.

The blog, which predomi- nantly targets college stu- dents, chronicles her journey to “slenderhood” post-Bar- celona while also teach- ing readers ways to make unhealthy meals healthier, workout routines designed to target specific muscle groups and the health benefits be- hind different ingredients and recipes. As a child she said she knew she was overweight and needed to lose weight. Consequently, her mother recommended she see a di- etitian, sparking her early interest in nutrition. “It was almost embarrass- ing, since I was so young when I went,” Siegel said. “I just remember feeling em- barrassed that I was different and that I needed help.” Now as a senior, the ta- bles have turned, as Siegel is the one advising nearly 400 viewers each day. Her sug- gestions for becoming slen- der include ways to navigate grocery stores in search of healthy foods, lazy Sunday study foods, how and what to order at various restau- rants and a variety of recipes, workouts and health advice. She believes these tips are beneficial because, Sie- gel said, the college lifestyle is not conducive to losing weight and is one of the reasons she hopes her blog will continue to target and inspire college students who are struggling with similar problems. “Sometimes I’ll do great Monday through Thursday, but then Thursday through Sunday I’ll totally blow it,” Siegel said. “I want to have fun, I’m a senior. If a night on Sixth is what’s on the agenda, I’m not going to hold back and stay at home just because I want to eat By Lindsey ChernerDaily Texan Life&Arts@dtlifeandartsTwitterTuesdayThere is a reason Taylor Swift’s current hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” with its guileless, brand-name gloss, sounds like the music Kelly, Avril and Britney made their careers with a decade ago; it is pro- duced by the same Swedish producers (Max Martin and Shellback) that have made a serious business out of synths- and-guitars earworms. It is not as if Swift could not write her own hooks — she is Martin and Shellback’s top protege, having grown up on their hits (like “…Baby One More Time” and the Backstreet Boys) and deftly deploying their style in her songwriting. Was there a better couplet in 2010 than “you made a rebel of a care- less man’s careful daughter” from the the single “Mine”? There’s been an inherent Swedish tinge to her brand of country music. But Swift has been the kind of musician that makes music she likes to listen to. And that notion comes through strongly on her new album, Red. It is the most stylistically varied and sonically middle-of-the- road she has ever sounded. Much of the music on the album wouldn’t be out of place in the records of her singer-songwriter and indie rock contemporaries. There are three Martin and Shellback-produced prime cuts (and on their best collaboration, “I Knew You Were Trouble,” some light dubstep), the kind of carefully constructed blitz- es that gave Katy Perry sev- en number-one hits. They are the stickiest pieces of bubblegum the duo has ever produced. And yet those songs are a little disingenuous as they are interpolated between moody, atmospheric indie sounds (“State of Grace”); soft, intimate confession- als (“I Almost Do”); and impeccably produced Star- bucks pop (“The Lucky Ones”). While Red doesn’t turn out to be her “pop” al- bum, it is her most mature, oddly enough.
