For beekeeper Konrad Bouf- fard it is honey harvesting season, and some of his har- vest will be served with fresh bread at campus dining halls Thursday in support of locally produced food. Bouffard, owner of Round Rock Honey, is one of several producers who supply local food to UT’s Division of Hous- ing and Food Service through the Sustainable Food Center. The center’s Farm to Cafeteria program connects local grow- ers, including Bouffard, with organizations looking for lo- cally grown products. “This started with honey from my backyard, selling it at the Austin Farmers’ Market. Now we’ve been with SFC for 10 years,” Bouffard said. “We want to be associated with the large buyers as well as small buyers like at the market. It’s great to be involved with UT. We appreciate their business. They’re helping us out and we’re helping them too.” DHFS currently directs 23 percent of its $8 million food budget toward local foods Last season, David Ash went through something very few people experience: He started at quarterback as a true college freshman at a power- house football program. On Wednesday night, he spoke at AFTERdark, a Chris- tian lecture series and con- cert, about his experience and struggles with his play on the field and how it affected his re- lationship with God. “I started playing and I was so excited and things didn’t go my way,” Ash said. “I threw in- terceptions. I lost games. I got a chance to play some games, but I got benched at the end of the year for two games.” He said starting was the hardest thing he had ever done. He spent all of his time on football and his faith be- gan to take a back seat. When football took the primary role in his life, things went down- hill for him and he was down and depressed. “During that whole time I began to just fight and I had Members of United Students Against Sweatshops showed Wednesday they are willing to do anything to avoid wearing apparel made in a sweatshop, even if it means wearing al- most nothing at all. A few members of the or- ganization gathered in their underwear on the West Mall on Wednesday afternoon to collect signatures for a peti- tion asking the administra- tors of the University Co-op to purchase $250,000 worth of apparel from Alta Gra- cia, an apparel factory in the Dominican Republic. Alta Gracia is an example of a factory with fair working con- ditions in an underdeveloped country and the purchase would show that the University Co-op supports those fair conditions, said Jessica Alvarenga, a geogra- phy junior and USAS member. “The Co-op would be be The St. David’s HealthCare network, a Central Texas hospi- tal system with branches in Tra- vis County, will not support a ballot initiative that would help fund a proposed UT teaching hospital and medical school. Proposition 1 would increase property taxes collected by Cen- tral Health from 7.89 cents to 12.9 cents per $100 of assessed property value and would help fund operations at the teaching hospital. C. David Huffstutler, St. Da- vid’s president and CEO, said he believes the increase would fund the proposed school at the expense of providing health care services to underinsured and uninsured patients in Travis County, which is the purpose of Central Health. “We do support the medical school,” Huffstutler said. “We just don’t support this mecha- nism for funding the school.” He said St. David’s would support funding the proposed medical school with private and corporate funds and appropria- tions from the Texas Legislature. In May, the UT System Board of Regents pledged $30 mil- lion per year for eight years and $25 million per year after the first eight years for the medi- cal school. The Seton Family of Hospitals, a Catholic hospi- tal network that is St. David’s main competitor, pledged $250 million toward the teaching hospital. In August, the Austin American-Statesman reported that the school will cost an esti- mated $4.1 billion over 12 years. In a statement released Wednesday, Huffstutler said St. David’s would support Proposi- tion 1 if the revenue generated by the increase would directly fund indigent care instead of being used to fund the teaching hospital and school. Carlos Femat, community relations manager at Central Health, said $35 million of revenue raised from the tax increase would be used to pur- chase medical services from faculty, residents and students at the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900Thursday, October 25, 2012dailytexanonline.com facebook.com/dailytexan@thedailytexanThe Daily TexanJosh Turner too good to keep out of starting lineup.

Local food is all the buzzLocal beekeeper and farmers supply fresh ingredients for UT food services Sen. Seliger heads higher education committeeSTATEBy Christine AyalaBy Lazaro HernandezA surprise reshuffling of Senate committee chairman- ships earlier this month left state Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Am- arillo, as the new chairman of the Senate Committee on Higher Education, a position he says he will go into with a fresh perspective. Seliger said despite his leg- islative experience in higher education being limited to his service on a higher education oversight committee in 2011, the topic is of clear interest to him. “I don’t know what to ex- pect. This is my first stand- ing committee chair position, and I’m just looking forward to it,” Seliger said. “Higher education is an interesting and important topic and I have al- ready started discussions with people in higher education in- stitutions and the experience has been very absorbent.” Seliger said one of the issues he will bring up for discussion during the 2013 legislative ses- sion, which will begin in Janu- ary, is the effectiveness of the Top 10 Percent Rule. “We are going to discuss the [Top 10 program] — what it BEE continues on page 2PROP 1 continues on page 2CHAIR continues on page 2CAMPUSCAMPUSPearce Murphy | Daily Texan StaffLonghorn quarterback David Ash nails a letter to a wooden cross constructed during AFTERdark.

Check out our issue on parking problems tomorrow! living up to UT’s motto of transforming lives for the betterment of society, as that is exactly what Alta Gracia has done.” She said USAS members collected about 360 signa- tures and will be continuing the same efforts tomorrow. Alvarenga said al- though the apparel the University Co-op car- ries now is all made in factories overseen by the Workers Rights Consor- tium, an organization that monitors the working conditions in factories all over the world, Alta Gra- cia differs from many of those factories because of its open door policy. She said the policy allows for inspectors from the Workers Rights Consor- tium to inspect the factory without notice. Alvarenga said her orga- nization would like to see that same policy and other policies at Alta Gracia that provide for a fair work- ing environment imple- mented in factories all over the world. Alvarenga traveled with Sydney Dwoskin, an inter- national relations and global studies junior and USAS member, to Alta Gracia last summer. Dwoskin said she was amazed at how well the factory was run and the positive effect that had on the workers and their com- munity as a result. Dwoskin said the orga- nization will meet Mon- day with George Mitchell, University Co-op president and CEO. Alvarenga said the Uni- versity Co-op has not told the organization its stance but is interested in discuss- ing the matter. Representatives from the University Co-op declined to comment until after Monday’s meeting. USAS members also led a protest in their under- wear last spring in an effort to get the University to join the Worker Rights Con- sortium, a goal that was achieved last summer. Eighteen members of the USAS organiza- tion were arrested last spring for participating in a sit-in at University President William Powers Jr.’s office as part of their effort to get the Univer- sity to join the Worker Rights Consortuim. Members of USAS said the sit-in was done as a last resort after years of trying to convince the University to join the consortium. Al- varenga said in the case of this initiative with the Uni- versity Co-op, USAS would again exhaust all other ave- nues before resorting to an illegal direct action effort, but it could happen again if the organization’s demands are not met. the proposed medical school. He said those services would be performed at the pro- posed teaching hospital as well at clinics contracted with Central Health. Femat said Central Health estimates the proposed tax increase would generate ap- proximately $54 million in annual revenue. Steven Leslie, UT executive vice president and provost, said in a memo to faculty and staff earlier this month that without the tax increase, UT would not be able to establish a medical school in Austin. No location or timeline for construction of the medical school and teaching hospital has been set. David Butts, a local politi- cal consultant who has worked with Keep Austin Healthy, a political action committee formed to support Proposi- tion 1, said he was surprised St. David’s would not support the proposed tax increase. “The point of [the proposi- tion] is to provide health care to uninsured people,” Butts said. “As a property owner, I’m happy to pay the extra amount in property taxes for that.” Don Zimmerman, trea- surer of the Travis County Taxpayers Union, a political action committee formed to oppose Proposition 1, said St. David’s position echoes the sentiment of his organization. “I think St. David’s affirmed what we have been saying this whole time, which is Proposi- tion 1 proponents have not been honest with taxpayers about how this money will be used,” Zimmerman said. An attorney representing the Travis County Taxpay- ers Union filed a complaint Monday asking the Austin division of the U.S. District Court to prevent further vot- ing on Proposition 1 until the court decides if the language of Proposition 1 violates the U.S. Voting Rights Act by mis- leading voters and advocating the proposition. does and what it does not do,” Seliger said. “The law is there to increase minority enroll- ment, which I think is a very good idea. I don’t think it real- ly works to do that. If so, then we should do away with it.” The Top 10 program guar- antees admission to public universities in Texas based on high school class rank. Seliger has been in the Texas Senate for eight years, during which time he has served on various Senate committees, including one on public education. State Rep. Dan Branch, R- Dallas, chairman of the House Higher Education Commit- tee, said he believes Seliger will be a quick study in his new position. “He’s already reached out to me to talk about higher edu- cation issues,” Branch said. “We told him we would have an open door and pass him as much information about policy issues and the things we have been working on.” Branch said he will work closely with Seliger to main- tain the level of Tier One universities in the state and ease the transfer process from community colleges to four-year institutions. Tier One status identifies schools with significant re- search programs but has no concrete definition. Although bills for the up- coming legislative session have not officially been filed yet, Seliger said he expects higher education funding to be another widely discussed issue in the Senate. “We are really going to have to address funding,” Seliger said. “Higher education is im- portant, and it’s expensive.” He said he hopes institu- tions can develop satisfac- tory performance metrics that will allow the state to move away from enrollment- based financing and toward an approach that considers student outcomes. State Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, is the previous chair of the Senate Commit- tee on Higher Education, where she served since its for- mation in 2009. She said she has had extensive talks with Seliger to discuss the current issues in higher education, a fact Seliger said is a sign of a good working relationship. “I was on her committee for higher education over- sight and we worked together on legislation on other areas before so this will just sort of fit seamlessly with the work we have done together in the past,” Seliger said.

One night, he prayed and asked for God to show him his love. The next day, wide receiver Jaxon Shipley came to him in the weight room and talked to him about scripture and God’s love. That sign began a new phase for him and eventually, with the help of his friends and family, Ash found his way back to God. In fact, the experience strengthened his faith. “What I think happened during that time is that I had this head knowledge that God loves me, growing up with it with my family, and I think, through those hard times it dropped a foot and a half and went to my heart,” Ash said. Ash referenced a verse from the Bible that says hard times help mature your faith. He said he now appreciates the strug- gles he went through because they made him stronger. He also discussed his broth- er’s academic struggles in high school. Although there was concern he would not gradu- ate, the two of them prayed together and his family prayed for him and a few weeks ago he was confirmed. “What I want to tell you all is if God loves me enough to die for me and he can come change my life and he can change my little brother’s life, he can change your life,” Ash said. Mechanical engineering ju- nior Nathan Bienvenu was ex- cited to hear from Texas’ start- ing quarterback. Bienvenu said he is happy to see Ash stepping up as a leader on the field and on campus. “Him being a leader on campus and leading by exam- ple and living that good Chris- tian life is great because there are so many athletes out there that are just outstandingly tal- ented athletically and they get off the field and are just dumb,” Bienvenu said. “I don’t think he’s like that at all, and it’s really good to see someone living what they tell the press and liv- ing how they should be.” ASH continues from page 1 NAKEDcontinues from page 1grown within a 150-mile ra- dius, from farms ranging between 5 and 200 acres. DHFS environmental spe- cialist Hunter Mangrum said the division’s goal is to in- crease the amount of locally grown food DHFS serves by 2 percent annually. “If we can further drive that economy to support local farm- ers to do organic, hormone-free products, then that’s where we want to spend,” Mangrum said. “It does cost a bit and requires more prep time, but we care about the issue and think it’s impor- tant and we’re willing to go that extra mile.” DHFS hosted a Local Har- vest Dinner Wednesday with a menu consisting of only lo- cally grown food at J2 and Kinsolving dining halls to raise awareness of the division’s com- mitment to supporting local farmers. Mangrum said the lo- cal food takes longer to prepare in-house because the farmers do not process the produce the way a corporate farm would. Lindsey Gaydos, registered dietician for DHFS, said some foods can be healthier if pro- duced locally because of re- duced travel time. “There are certain things, like produce, that if you short- en the time it takes to get from the farm to the table then it is retaining more nutrients,” Gaydos said. “That’s not true for all food items like your meats and your grains. It also depends on the farming prac- tices of the farmers themselves in terms of pesticides and soil.” Cecil Winzer, Sustainable Food Center’s Farmers’ Mar- ket manager, coordinates the center’s Farm to Cafeteria program and said DHFS is the center’s biggest buyer. He said DHFS is in the process of furthering its commitment to local farmers through pre- determined contracts that will notify farmers of the foods UT will need in the future, allow- ing farmers the opportunity to grow more with a guarantee the crop will be sold. “A lot of farmers just grow what they will need at the mar- ket, and they are selling their bumper crop [to the Sustain- able Food Center],” Winzer said. “This will be more pre- dictable and the farmers won’t have to worry if planting extra will pay off or not.” BEEcontinues from page 1PROP 1continues from page 1Kel SeligerState senator (R-Amarillo) CHAIRcontinues from page 1 Editor Nic Screws will lead a conversation on mastering the first impression and dressing for success.

You are invited to anInterview Wardrobing Event Neiman MarcusHB0000 In seventh grade, the popular girls in my class convinced us to vote for a class Halloween theme: “Bunnies.” Not woodland creatures, not Peter Rabbit, but “Bunnies,” full stop, with the exact connotation that I’m sure first leapt to your mind. Then, on the day of the annual school Hal- loween parade, the popular girls, clad in leotards, tights, collars, cuffs and bunny ears, shivered in the cold gym air conditioning spilling out of the door as they lined up outside waiting to enter. They weren’t the only ones shiver- ing. In accordance with the theme, I’d thrown away the ballerina cos- tume I’d worn for years and instead donned a white sundress and black high heels that would have been modest had I not paired them with bunny ears. In the seconds before the popular girls entered the doors of the gym (they, of course, were go- ing to lead the parade), one of them stopped, leaned against the door and began to wring her cuffs against her wrists. She looked tearfully at her friends. “I don’t want to be called a slut,” she said. Her panic seized the rest of them, and they all simultane- ously backed out. A less popular girl (me, as it happens) had to be called to walk arm-in-arm with the cutest boy in the class at the head of the pa- rade. The boy was wearing a t-shirt, jeans and bunny ears, and looked generally unconcerned by his sud- den change in partners. I can’t tell you exactly why I de- cided to dress as a sexualized, albeit somewhat toned-down “Bunny.” I wasn’t in the popular clique. But I was a 12-year-old girl, and I suspect wearing the costume made me feel “sexy” by extension. In the years since that Halloween, I have donned more modest cos- tumes. I have gone as a daisy, a giant foam banana and a ghost, though most years I’ve chosen not to dress up at all. Once the “slutty” option was placed on the table, choosing a Halloween costume became a an- nual dilemma. If I wanted a modest costume, I’d have to make it myself — almost all of the costumes on the market include some sort of “cute” or “naughty” tag in their name. Making my own costume would mean it would look like a kindergartner’s best attempt at art. And in all honesty, I knew that the other advantage of being, say, a “naughty clownfish” was that it would garner the sort of attention that banal sexiness always seems to (all in all, life doesn’t change much past the seventh grade). A “naugh- ty clownfish” wasn’t just a naughty clownfish, it was play-pretend at be- ing labeled an “attractive” woman in the same narrow, traditionally de- fined way as a Playboy Bunny. That, of course, is the trouble with “slutty” costumes. By wearing them, you’re actively participating in the restriction of your own attractive- ness. Under normal circumstances, many different traits determine one’s attractiveness: intelligence, original- ity, gregariousness, etc. But when you don a black corset and stick a fluffy white tail on your bum, you’re banking only on your looks — and the cavalier way you display those looks — to place you in the “attrac- tive” category. In her infamous 1963 article “I Was a Playboy Bunny,” feminist activist and writer Gloria Steinem detailed the short period she spent working in the Playboy Club. At her first in- terview, she attempted to hand her interviewer an elaborate, made-up personal history and resume that she thought the club would find en- ticing. The interviewer “gave it back with hardly a glance. “‘We don’t like our girls to have any background,’” she said firmly. “‘We just want you to fit the Bunny image.’” Looking back to the 7th grade, I’m not so sure the girl wringing her cuffs at the gym door was just wor- ried about being called a slut. The Halloween parade would last for ten minutes, but the pictures of it would be in the yearbook until the end of time. Nowadays, it seems harmless to dress up in a “slutty” costume for one Halloween night, but the Face- book pictures will last. And no one wants to be in “the Bunny Image” forever.

Editor’s note: Laura Bush, former first lady of the Unit- ed States, visited UT Friday evening for the Texas Exes Distinguished Alumnus ceremony, where she was honored for her accomplishments. In 1995, as first lady of Texas, Bush founded the Texas Book Festival, which takes place at the Texas State Capitol and surrounding grounds this weekend. Bush sat down with the Texan to discuss reading in college and her impressions of UT. Daily Texan: Why is it important for college students to study and read fiction and literature? Laura Bush: I think the wider you read, and especially if you read fiction and literature, the broader you become as a person. For me, literature has been a part of my life for my whole life. It’s a guiding passion in my life — reading — so I just can’t imagine a life without reading literature. So I hope that students will make a real effort to read literature, and there are a lot of new terrific authors in the U.S. that write literature that are great. But to read the classics, they become part of a whole vocabulary in your life, and an intellectual person often times knows that vo- cabulary because they know the different authors and characters and all the references that are in classic literature, [references] that just you hear in everyday life, really. DT: What did you read in college that most influ- enced the way you think today? Bush: I took a lot of literature courses. I was an English and education major ... I remember reading a lot of D.H. Lawrence in one course that I really liked, including poetry of his. I’ve continued going to classes in Dallas; there’s something called the Dallas Institute, which is a group of mainly women. These classes would just be six weeks long, but we’d read Faulkner or Dostoyevsky, and those authors are really great to read in a class with a great teacher. They’re difficult to read just by yourself and get, especially Faulkner, I think, so that’s why I think it’s really important to try to take classes, if you have the opportunity — literature classes, no matter what your degree is, and then continue to do that, continue to meet with a book club where you have a good speaker that’s an expert on a certain reader or writer. If you have an expert, it makes your knowledge of it that much deeper and your appreciation of it that much stronger. DT: How has UT changed since you studied library sci- ence here? Bush: The library school has changed tremendously. Now the library school is called the School of Information, and they have brought from Columbia and then developed on their own the best school for archivists in the country. When I went to library school in 1973, it was in the HRC [Harry Ransom Center], where it is now. We were on the fourth floor, that was so great to go to library school in that building that had all the huge collections of writings. And of course the library school has changed and expanded and really become what libraries are now, which is much more information science because of all the technology. It’s still reading, and it’s still reading a lot of great books. After the circus of this presidential election is over, a president will be inaugu- rated in January. The leader of our “One Nation Under God” will be sworn in with his hand on a Bible. But it’s time for our government to follow the rest of the coun- try and become more secu- lar, honoring the principle of separation of church and state. On Oct. 9, the Pew Re- search Center published a poll that showed that, for the first time, fewer than half of all American adults (48 per- cent) claim to be Protestant Christians. Not only that, the number of religiously unaffiliated has increased to 20 percent of all American adults, up from 15 percent five years ago. This includes more than 13 million self- described atheists and ag- nostics (nearly 6 percent of the U.S. public) — a plural- ity (42 percent) of which are ages 18 to 29. But our government doesn’t reflect the coun- try’s movement away from organized religion. Only one congressman, Califor- nia Democrat Pete Stark, is openly atheist. In fact, Texas and a few other states have laws against atheist politi- cians. The very Constitution of our “God-blessed” state reads, “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualifi- cation to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being.” That law currently seems unnecessary, since, accord- ing to a June Gallup Poll, only 54 percent of Ameri- cans would vote for an athe- ist (regardless of their politi- cal views) in a presidential election. Thankfully, the students I spoke to on campus were more open-minded. Travis Granado, a philosophy and religious studies sophomore, said he’s “more concerned with how public policy will be affected by a candidate’s religious convictions than I am about finding a candi- date that has religious views similar to mine.” André Treiber of the Uni- versity Democrats recogniz- es that religion is very per- sonal, and he argues that it should stay that way. “I will not cast a vote for a candi- date that would enforce their religious beliefs onto other people,” Treiber said. “Past that, I don’t do anything like pray over issues or can- didates, nor do I let a can- didate’s personal religious preference have an effect on my vote.” Both students expressed concern over religion’s cur- rent involvement in poli- tics. Governor Rick Perry’s resistance to gays serving openly in the military espe- cially concerned Granado. “It made me question his ability to provide equality for all Americans if his idea of equality is dependent on adherence to a religious be- lief system,” he said. Treiber agreed, saying, “I think reli- gion has a very negative ef- fect on politics. Currently, we are seeing gays and les- bians denied marriage and a woman’s right to make her own private decisions under attack, all loosely justified by clinging to Bible scripture.” Gay marriage is indeed an issue especially affect- ed by religion; the Oct. 9 Pew Research Center poll found that 73 percent of the religiously unaffiliated approved of same-sex mar- riage, whereas only 41 per- cent of those affiliated with a religious group approved of it.The Young Conservatives of Texas did not respond to an interview request, but we shouldn’t mistakenly believe that only the “religious right” hides behind religion. Last month, the Democrats in- cluded God in their national platform. It’s time for American polit- ical parties to start abiding by the First Amendment’s separa- tion of church and state. I have faith that God can take care of Himself; let’s take care of our- selves by defending freedom, regardless of religion.

Lauren Moore| Daily Texan Cartoonist Despite College Republi- cans’ decision to opt out of a debate Wednesday evening sponsored by Hook the Vote, more than 100 students at- tended the debate to learn the stances of University Demo- crats and Libertarian Long- horns on various issues. The Daily Texan’s editor- in-chief Susannah Jacob and associate editor Kayla Oliver moderated the debate. Each organization was represented by three of its members. Uni- versity Democrats’ panel con- sisted of biology freshman Taral Patel, history and government sophomore Carlos Martinez and sport management senior Pedro Villalobos. Libertarian Longhorns’ panel consisted of economics junior Caitlyn Bates, business senior Pierre Rochard and government senior Jordan Schmittou. Hook the Vote, a Student Government agency that aims to register students to vote and educate students on issues in a nonpartisan manner, hosted the debate. Danny Zeng, government senior and communications director of College Republi- cans, said Tuesday night the organization opted out of the debate due to a lack of organi- zation and concise planning on the part of Hook the Vote. At the debate, Libertarian Longhorns expressed their support for 2012 presidential candidate Gary Johnson and his three-point plan consist- ing of fiscal conservatism, social liberalism and nonin- terventionist foreign policy. Schmittou, Libertarian Longhorns student member, said Libertarians give fresh, new and alternative solutions to America’s problems. “We believe a good govern- ment comes from the ground up, not the other way around,” Schmittou said. “For too long we have felt this country has been dominated by a rigid two-party system that does not have the answers holding the interests of the people at heart, and Gary Johnson has proven a consistent record of fostering good, clean government.” University Democrats defend- ed the Obama administration and urged for a second term. Martinez said America was losing up to 800,000 jobs a month before President Barack Obama was inaugurated. However, he said 5.2 million jobs were added four years later, followed by 34 months of consecutive job growth. Marti- nez said President Obama has had many accomplishments on social issues, such as the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, a military policy prohibiting openly gay, lesbian or bisexual Americans from serving in the military. Martinez said Presi- dent Obama is also a women’s rights champion. “Time and time again Pres- ident Obama has proven to be an effective leader that knows what he is doing,” Martinez said. “He can lead this country back to prosperity. He is a re- alistic candidate for the Presi- dent of the United States.” Billy Calve, government senior and Hook the Vote di- rector, said the debate’s high number of attendees reflected students’ desire to hear differ- ent perspectives. He said Lib- ertarian Longhorns did well at stepping in and representing their beliefs. “At the end of the day we were able to represent different pespectives on campus,” Calve said. “We were able to provide students with a chance to hear different political ideologies and learn what each group is about.” The Austin City Council will decide whether to imple- ment a new regulating plan for development that could change the face of the East Riverside Corridor. At its meeting this week, the Austin Planning Commission unanimously recommended the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan. The plan would provide construction guidelines necessary to execute the city’s East Riverside Corri- dor Master Plan, a plan passed by City Council in 2010 de- signed to provide more afford- able housing options for low- and middle-income citizens, accommodate pedestrian, bike, transit and automobile traf- fic and introduce urban rail, among other goals. Erica Leak, a planner in the Austin Planning and Develop- ment Review Department, said not passing the regulating plan would mean the city would not be able to move forward with the master plan. “We need to pass this plan in order to meet the vision set forth by the city,” Leak said in an interview. Leak said one way the regu- lating plan facilitates these goals is by designating four ar- eas along East Riverside Drive as transportation hubs. She said the city would construct transit stops within these hubs and encourage developers to construct apartment complex- es and commercial real estate around those stops. The second phase of an ur- ban rail project proposed by the city would extend into the East Riverside Corridor, pro- viding a route from downtown to South Pleasant Valley Road along East Riverside Drive. Leak said the regulating plan also requires developers to construct buildings closer to sidewalks, which she said would encourage pedestrians to frequent businesses occupy- ing those buildings. She said if the city imple- ments the regulating plan, it will only affect develop- ment that takes place after it is passed. She said if the council approves its implementation at its regular meeting Nov. 8, the plan could take effect before December. In addition to the recom- mendation to implement the plan, the commission recom- mended that staff from the Planning and Development Review Department review options that would provide minimum standards for devel- opers’ land usage, such as re- quiring developers to construct buildings with no less than two stories and to construct build- ings with minimum space re- quirements based on the size of the lot. Delwin Goss, Montopolis Community Alliance presi- dent, said he supports the plan as long as it does not concen- trate low-income housing in the corridor and diminish property values. “Low-income housing should be spread out all over the city,” he said. Jan Long, East Riverside/ Oltorf Combined Neighbor- hood Plan Contact team mem- ber and corridor resident, said her residence will not be im- pacted by the master plan but the area surrounding it will be. “Once the plan is adopted and if development occurs, I will be impacted every time I drive, walk or bike on River- side,” Long said. David Carr, columnist for The New York Times, said the world of profes- sional journalism has dras- tic changes to make, but can survive the new digital age. Carr, a media reporter for The New York Times who was featured in the docu- mentary about the paper, “Page One,” spoke Wednes- day at the Mary Alice Da- vis Distinguished Lecture Series, a series dedicated to facilitating talks about jour- nalism and the direction it is heading. “Mary Alice was a very feisty, independent person who really believed in jour- nalism as a force for change in society,” Glen Frankel, UT School of Journalism director, said. “The family feels very strongly that they want journalists who play that role today.” In his lecture, Carr sug- gested the newspaper as his generation has known it is already obsolete. “We’re built on scarcity in print,” Carr said. “You lose compression on pricing when you have no scarcity.” Carr said the transition from the print to the digi- tal model, where pieces of news fly in rapid succession, is going to be difficult. Ac- cording to the Pew Research Center, industry-wide print ad revenue decreased by about $24 billion from 2003 to 2011, while online ad revenue increased by only about $2 billion in the same time period. “Big news is still the killer app,” Carr said. “You’ve got to think of the journalism business as being in one hall and down here is this wonderful digital nirvana, but there’s this long dark hall in between.” Carr said he still believes journalism will eventually find its way to remain prof- itable in changing times. He said his publication has already taken steps to that end, including put- ting up a pay wall for frequent readers. “We say, ‘Good to see ya, how about giving us a little sugar here?’” Carr said. “Ev- erybody said, ‘You’re drill- ing a hole in the bottom of your boat.’ ... Turns out we’re not drilling a hole in the bottom of our boat, we’re in- stalling a new engine.” Carr said he believes young people are willing to pay the convenience charge for coverage that sorts through the digital flurry of news. In a 2011 Growth From Knowledge Media- mark Research and Intel- ligence poll, 22 percent of people aged 18 to 24 read newspapers at least every other day compared to 40 percent of adults overall. “A couple of years ago my colleague was doing a story about how young people consume news and one said, ‘If news is important, it will find me,’” Carr said. “If we get you thinking of us as an app and not a subscription, then we’re going to win.” Once Per AxisOct 28th 10-11pm / Doors 9:30pmInterview performance 10pmPick uP your free wristband in the HSM buildingFriday the 26th 1pmStudent-run entertainment = student-run funFOR FREEwith Austin’s own: liveaudiEncetapingLIVETV/RADIOBROADCASTFor wristband info: 512-471-5083Sponsored refreshments provided by: First come first serve91.7 FM and Ch. 29.1 Digital Antenna TVRaises money for graduate student professional development awards.

Hook the Vote hosts campus party debateNAKEDcontinues Ever since Jordan Hicks went down in the first half of the Longhorns’ win over Ole Miss more than a month ago, the Longhorn defense has been searching for a spark. The search ended with Josh Turner. Texas had surrendered 28 points to Baylor in the game’s first 20 minutes. The Bears were threatening to take the lead when Turner, a sophomore defensive back, chased down a scrambling Nick Florence, laying out to catch him from behind. Turner made his first ca- reer interception on the next play. Florence overthrew his intended target and Turner, with his airborne body paral- lel to the ground, picked him off. Johnathan Gray’s 25-yard touchdown run on the ensuing drive gave the Longhorns a 35- 28 lead they would not give up. “We were in thirds,” Turn- er recalled. “I was in the right third, and I was just reading the quarterback. I saw that he kind of overthrew the re- ceiver, and I was just trying to make a play on the ball.” Adrian Phillips was sup- posed to be the solid safety opposite senior Kenny Vac- caro that solidified Texas’ secondary. His struggles led to sophomore Mykkele Thompson cracking the starting lineup, but Thomp- son has missed numerous tackles since.

Brooks’ collected expression hid the fact that the Longhorns were battling for a win over Bay- lor after losing 25-20 in the sec- ond set. As Brooks served the ball in that final set, the Long- horns rallied for six straight points, resulting in their 11th straight win. “It was a battle,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said. “We came out really well and played smooth in game 1, had [some] errors in game 2, had a great result in game 3.” Set one was sparked by a kill by outside hitter Bailey Webster. Several consecutive Texas kills racked the score up to 7-2, and an explosive kill by Haley Eckerman, who had six in the set, made the score 10-6. A strong rally by the Longhorns brought the game to set point, allowing Texas to win it at 25-18. The confident strides made in set one slumped in the second set, as the two teams battled for points, keeping the score close. Baylor tied it at 12-12 and a series of Long- horn errors allowed Baylor to sway the score in its favor. As Texas grappled for consis- tency, a streak of four straight Baylor points allowed the Bears to take the set, 25-20. “I told them that we’ve got to be more consistent,” Elliott said. “We can’t be erratic and we can’t have nerves affect us. You’ve got to come back and play focused, and we did that.” The Longhorns emerged from the locker room and en- ergetically executed set three. Eckerman posted 14 kills, while Webster added eight. A block by Khat Bell early in the set led to five straight Texas points. Baylor whacked the ball out of bounds in the last play, allowing Texas to domi- nate the third set, 25-9. Baylor’s initial lead in set four was followed closely by the Longhorns, who tailed behind for the majority of the set. A kill by Eckerman in the middle of the set brought the Long- horns closer at 17-15.Two kills by Webster narrowed Baylor’s lead, and Brooks stepped in to serve the final few points after a Texas timeout, concluding the last set. “We don’t get nights off in Texas, and that’s the toughest challenge,” Elliott said. “I think it’s going to come down to us learning to be a little more pa- tient, keeping balls in play, and we did that tonight.” By Rachel ThompsonLawrence Peart | Daily Texan StaffSophomore All-American outside hitter Haley Eckerman rallies against Baylor on Wednesday night. Eckerman tallied 18 kills to nab a 3-1 victory over the Bears. VOLLEYBALLDefense proves dominant against Bears by the numbers-.266: Baylor’s hitting percentage in set three. Its overall hitting percentage was .172 through four sets. 2: Number of games between first and second place in the Big 12. The Longhorns, with their 9-0 conference re- cord, hold a two-game lead after Iowa State’s victory over second-place Kansas on Wednesday. 5: Consecutive double-doubles for sophomore Haley Eckerman. She had 18 kills and 12 digs on the night and hit .400 against the Bears. 9: The number of points Texas held Baylor to in the third set. This marks the lowest number of points allowed by the Texas defense in a full set (25 points) so far this season. Set-by-SetSet 1: The Longhorns never trailed in the first set and the Texas defense did a good job of keeping the Baylor offense down the en- tire set. At one point, the Longhorns were up by six with a score of 19-13. They finished 25-18 over the Bears. Texas hit .367 in set one. Eckerman had six kills and junior Hannah Allison had 13 assists. Set 2: The only issue for the Longhorns. Texas started out with the lead though Baylor kept it close. Thanks to the efforts of Bay- lor’s Zoe Adom, the Bears took over 12-14 halfway through the set. The Longhorns kept it to within two for most the set, however, Baylor pulled away and won 20-25. Adom hit an impressive .545 and had 13 kills on the night. Set 3: The Longhorns came out after half time and surged to a 9-0 lead. Baylor came within seven with a score of 12-5 half-way through the set, but several point surges by the Texas offense led to a 21-9 score. The Longhorns finished it out 25-9. In set 3, the Longhorns had 12 kills and hit .417 with only two errors. Set 4: Baylor jumped out to a quick 8-6 lead. After changing hands a few times, it looked as if the game would go to five sets. Baylor had Texas at 22-19. Texas brought it to one for a score of 22- 21. Freshman Kat Brooks had a well-placed service ace which was followed by a Baylor hitting error to give the Longhorns the final lead change of the night. Texas won the fourth set 25-22. FOOTBALL COLUMNTurner the spark Texas’ secondary needsBy Christian CoronaSports EditorFANTASY FOOTBALLCharles Rex Arbogast | Associated PressChicago Bears running back Matt Forte (22) stiff-arms Detroit Lions linebacker Justin Durant (52) during a 13-7 win Monday. As October winds down and we enter the eighth week of the NFL season, it’s easy to won- der where the time has gone. In case you missed it, here are a couple of observations from the first two months of games: One, Robert Griffin III is really, really good. Two, Peyton Man- ning is back and as effective as ever. Lastly, fantasy football is still a crapshoot. Looking ahead to this weekend’s games, here is some advice to help make your fantasy lineup a sure thing: Players to Start: 1) Matt Forte, RB, Chicago BearsAlthough he hasn’t reached the end zone since Week 1, Forte is completely healed from an ankle in- jury and is back at full strength.

After a slow start against Iowa State last weekend, the Longhorns had to fight their way back in order to win in five sets. They only surrendered one set with a close score, but held Baylor to only nine points in set three – a season low for the Texas defense. They also blocked well, putting up 11 team blocks on the night. Their play allowed the offense to go on several scoring runs to solidify the win. Up Next for texasOklahoma, TCU and Kansas State. The Long- horns face a difficult stretch this coming week with three matches spread out over just six days. Texas will travel to Norman, Okla. to face rival Oklahoma on Saturday, fol- lowed by a match against TCU in Fort Worth on Halloween. A Nov. 2 game against Kansas State rounds out the week for Texas. The Longhorns swept OU at home earlier this year. With the win, the Longhorns are 39-3 against Oklahoma. So far this season, the Sooners are 16-7 and 5-3 in Big 12 Conference play. –Sara Beth PurdyLONGHORNS IN THE NBA Kevin Durant18 pts7 reb, 5 astLONGHORNS IN THE MLB Brandon Belt0-for-4BB, RLAKERSCLIPPERS Giants lead series,1-0 TERMS There are no refunds or credits.

TEXASSTUDENTMEDIAsportsThursday, October 25, 20127career start during Satur- day’s 56-50 win over Baylor, to become a mainstay in the first-team defense. “He did an excellent job of making plays in the time that he was in, especially geting the turnover that was very crucial to the game and I think it did spark a lot of mo- mentum,” junior cornerback Carrington Byndom said. “That’s what we expect and what he expects of himself. They know when their op- portunity comes, they have to take advantage of it and I think he did an excellent job of it this weekend.” On Baylor’s last posses- sion of the first half, with Texas holding a 42-28 lead, Florence lofted a pass to his favorite receiver, Terrance Williams. The senior wideout leads the country with 1,013 yards — more yards than seven FBS teams have passed for this season. Williams caught the pass in the corner of the end zone but Byndom kept him from catch- ing it in bounds while Turner ranged over to jar the ball loose and ensure he wouldn’t make the catch. Baylor settled for a field goal on the next play as the Longhorns trotted into the locker room with an 11-point lead at halftime. “The play he makes down there in the end zone is a great play,” head coach Mack Brown said. “That’s a perfect throw and catch. Carrington Byndom’s got him covered up but Josh knocks him out of bounds.” Phillips and Vaccaro are listed as Texas’ starting safe- ties for its game against Kan- sas this weekend. Thompson and Turner are listed as back- ups. But if the way he played against Baylor last Saturday was any indication of what we can expect from him, Turner needs to be on the field more than Phillips and Thompson. “We’re excited about the plays that he made,” defen- sive coordinator Manny Diaz said. “That’s how we know our persistence is working, but there’s some things that we have to con- tinue to correct. We’re all in it together. We can’t be too excited about anything.” Diaz is right. He shouldn’t dwell on the efforts of indi- viduals too long — as good as they may be — as long as his unit is on pace to go down as, statistically, the worst defense in school his- tory. But starting Turner would go a long way toward turning things around. Bears are facing the strug- gling Panthers, who Forte gashed for a total of 416 rushing and receiving yards and three touchdowns in their last two meetings, he should be due for a huge day. Expect Forte to rack up fan- tasy points in both the run- ning and the passing game. 2) Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Tennessee TitansStepping in for injured starter Jake Locker, Has- selbeck has played consid- erably well over the past three weeks. With Locker out again and the Titans facing a Colts team that has given up at least two pass- ing touchdowns in all but one game this season, Has- selbeck is a good option at quarterback this week. 3) Reggie Wayne, WR, India- napolis ColtsMany people believed Wayne would struggle this year without Peyton Man- ning throwing to him. That’s hardly been the case, however, as Wayne has had at least 70 yards receiving in every game this year. With the Colts’ offense working efficiently under rookie QB Andrew Luck and Indianapolis facing a generous Titans secondary, Wayne should have a solid game Sunday. Players to Sit: 1) Alex Smith, QB, San Fran- cisco 49ersAfter a strong start to the season, Smith has struggled lately, turning the ball over four times and throwing only one touchdown in his past two games. Unfor- tunately, things don’t get any easier for Smith this week, who faces the Ari- zona Cardinals on Monday Night Football. So far this year, Arizona has given up the second fewest fantasy points to opposing quarter- backs. Sit Smith if you have another viable option. 2) Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Pittsburgh SteelersWith the Steelers’ top two running backs injured, Dw- yer seized his opportunity last Sunday, rushing for 122 yards against the Bengals. However, with Pittsburgh facing a Washington Red- skins defense that is ranked dead last in fantasy football against the pass and tenth against the run, the Steelers will likely be throwing the ball Sunday.

ROBERT EARL KEEN & THE BELLAMY BROTHERS MAX RIOS & THE WAYSIDERS | SOUTHBOUND 955 | DUJKA BROTHERS THE GEORGES | THE PALE HORSES | THE ORIGINAL VELVETS Life & Arts8Thursday, October 25, 2012LITERATUREDenis Johnson, one of the greatest writers of his genera- tion, will return to the UT cam- pus for a reading of his work at the Blanton Museum Audito- rium on Thursday. “It’s the literary equivalent of having Vince Young back on campus,” James Magnuson, director of the Michener Cen- ter for Writers, sponsors of the event, said. Johnson was born in Munich in 1949 and grew up abroad. At 19 he published his first volume of poetry, titled “The Man Among the Seals,” which instantly drew attention in the literary world. After earning an MFA at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, John- son suffered from addiction to drugs and alcohol, an experi- ence he documented in his 1973 New Yorker essay titled “Home- less and High.” Johnson re- bounded, publishing two more poetry volumes: “Inner Weath- er” and “The Incognito Lounge and Other Poems,” which was selected by Mark Strand for the National Poetry Series in 1982. His numerous literary awards also include a Guggenheim Fel- lowship in 1986 and the Nation- al Book Award in 2007 for his novel “Tree of Smoke.” “We periodically poll the students for suggestions about who to include in our read- ing series, and he was always among the most requested,” Marla Akin, senior program coordinator for the Michener Center, said. “Frankly, he could read from the phone book — do they still print phone books? — and his great inflection and complete lack of pretension would entertain everyone.” Johnson will be welcomed as a familiar figure at the Mi- chener Center. Between the spring of 1998 and the fall of 2004, he spent four semesters as a visiting faculty member, usually hosting a fiction work- shop and a readings course on contemporary fiction. In 2010, his personal papers were acquired by the Harry Ransom Center, which also houses the archives of distin- guished writers such as Norman Mailer, Tim O’Brien, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. “Johnson is undoubtedly one of the most important and talented authors writing to- day,” Megan Barnard, assistant director for acquisitions and administration for the Ransom Center, said. “We’re very ex- cited that he’s returning to the University of Texas at Austin for this program with the Mi- chener Center. Students won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear from one of the most engaging writers of our time.” Johnson is also the author of the cult favorite 1992 short story collection “Jesus’ Son,” which was adapted into a film of the same name starring Denis Leary, Jack Black, Dennis Hop- per and Holly Hunter. Johnson’s latest novel, “Train Dreams,” was a finalist for the 2012 Pulit- zer Prize for fiction. The 7:30 p.m. reading is free to the public, but seating is limited. LIVE continues from page 10for them, of course, and that’s what I would love to happen to ‘Local Live.’ Lines out the door of the HSM because TSTV and KVRX is something to be proud of.” One of the most promi- nent differences between the ACL tapings and “Local Live” is the selection of bands that are invited to perform. “Although the basic con- cept is similar, our approach is more for the benefit of the local and independent artists and supporting their work,” Clay Downham, “Local Live” audio media supervisor and audio assistant, said. “By ex- panding our audience, we create avenues for the artists’ audience to grow.” The term “local” is a cen- tral concept to “Local Live,” drawing from the program’s focus and title; however, Brave hopes to bring in bigger bands with time. “Something we take pride in is we take bands before they get big,” Brave said. “We had Death Cab [for Cutie] in 2000, we had My Morning Jacket in 2001, we had Dr. Dog be- fore they released that al- bum that track was on. Do we have plans to book big- ger bands? Yes. Absolutely.” “Local Live” is in the pro- cess of establishing itself as a more professional music program. With the absence of ACL tapings on the UT campus, the program has big shoes to fill. “‘Local Live’ is like an ACL, not a mini ACL,” Brave said. “Some of the beauty of that is it’s back on campus now.” Students who wish to be in the audience for the “Lo- cal Live” taping of Once Per Axis can pick up wristbands from the business office lo- cated on the ground floor of the HSM at 1 p.m. Friday. SCIENCE continues from page 10psychiatric profession because of a lack of consistent criteria. However, a new group work- ing out of UCLA has devel- oped a test for identifying and diagnosing the affliction that gives fairly reliable results. The test looks for several spe- cific symptoms, in particular, fantasies, urges and desires that persist for more than six months, as well as using sex- ual activity as a coping device, much as a substance abuser might with drugs. If the crite- ria are accepted, sex addition could be officially recognized and show up in the next edi- tion of the psychiatric bible, the DSM-5. Fair gun control possible“Guns don’t kill people; people kill people,” cry sup- porters of the Second Amend- ment, and a new study bears that out. The report analyzes results from other studies and research and concludes that we could vastly decrease gun- related deaths, which are on the high end in our country, by enacting stricter gun laws that don’t necessarily impinge on the constitutional rights of people who will use firearms responsibly. The main sugges- tion the report offers to help save lives is the tightening of laws that prohibit gun sales to people in high-risk groups — including criminals, drug us- ers and those with severe men- tal illnesses. The topic of gun control is highly political, but this analysis provides material that should, at the very least, help inform future policy. Denis Johnson to visit campusthe South considered him the good general, in part be- cause he had given Robert E. Lee quite generous terms of peace at the surrender at Appomattox. He forbade his own soldiers from cheer- ing as the Confederates marched out, because, as he said, they are no longer the enemy, they are our fellow Americans. And so Grant had a certain magnanimity that was not associated with many other officers. DT: When you’re looking at a story or an idea, what is the most challenging part? Brands: Well, I won’t say this is the most challeng- ing part, but the thing I try to do first is hear the voice of my character. So I read what they wrote in diaries, and what they wrote in let- ters. I’m trying to figure out the impression this figure made on the world around them. For the pur- poses of telling my story, I want my main subject to speak. I don’t want my books to read like a history lecture, where the profes- sor is telling you about these people. I want these people to come to life for the reader. With Grant, I have his memoir, his own telling of his life, letters that he wrote during the course of his life, and I’ve got a whole lot of orders that he gave when he was in the Army. tory of the cemetery and “a lot of research.” That’s not surprising, considering the scope of Texas history cov- ered within the graveyard’s grounds. The cemetery was established in the win- ter of 1851 by an act of the Texas Legislature. Since then, it has served as the burial ground not only for important political figures but also for cultural icons, the Texas Rangers and educators and academics (including U.T’s own J. Frank Dobie). In researching and writ- ing the book, Erwin and Walker recorded not only the history of the cemetery but also the history of the people buried there. Walk- er’s favorite part of the re- search was diving into Wal- ter Prescott Webb’s work on the Texas Rangers. He also loved learning more about former Texas Gov. Bob Bullock, who he said “was really polarizing on a lot of issues but always had Tex- as’ best interests at heart.” Walker’s favorite “per- son,” what both he and Er- win call the graves, is Wil- lie Wells, a baseball player who became famous play- ing in the Negro League in the 1920s. “I just love that guy,” Walker said. You get the feeling that both Erwin and Walker ap- preciate the cemetery most because it allows them not only to learn about the great figures of Texas his- tory but to also pay them their respects. “You walk through Texas history at the cemetery,” Walker said. “The folks that are buried out here con- tributed so much to Texas history and culture that I think they would be hon- ored that people are com- ing here and wanting to experience this.” What: Denis Johnson Reading When:Thursday, 7:30 p.mWhere: Blanton Museum AuditoriumPrice: FreePhoto Courtesy of the Harry Ransom CenterDenis Johnson speaks on a panel at the 2008 Flair Symposium on “Building the Archive.” Other panelists included Lee Blessing, Tim O’Brien and Amy Tan.

Local Live is a live music program that is broadcast by both KVRX and TSTV. The sprawling lines that were once a common occurrence in the College of Communication’s plaza have disappeared since “Austin City Limits” moved its taping facility to a bigger venue downtown. But students with KVRX and TSTV are aiming to change that. “Local Live” is a live music program that is broadcast by both KVRX and TSTV. Lo- cal and up-and-coming bands are invited to the small studio on the top floor of the William Randolph Hearst Building on Sunday evenings to play be- fore a squadron of camera- and soundboard-wielding students. “‘Local Live’ started in August 1993, so it’s coming up on its 20th anniversary,” Becca Rush- worth, TSTV station manager, said. “‘Local Live’ is one of our few staple shows that gets many volunteers not only from the TV side, but also the radio side.” The collaboration between KVRX and TSTV has been prevalent throughout the his- tory of the program, but “Lo- cal Live” only started airing live this semester. Ivan Brave, “Local Live” executive pro- ducer, has tightened the bond between radio and television through his involvement with KVRX and TSTV. “It was always kind of scat- tered,” Brave said. “Audio and video were super separated. One of the first things I did was make it a live TV broadcast.” Brave has also introduced in- studio audiences to Local Live, a concept that was tested and de- buted Oct. 7 with Eric & Olivia’s session. The second in-studio audience date is this Sunday and will feature local folk-rock band Once Per Axis. “I like the fact that it’s a captive audience,” Pierce Saxon of Once Per Axis said. “As a gigging mu- sician in Austin, most of the time you’re playing to a noisy bar. It’s going to be a huge change to have 30 or so people sitting in a room and for the show to be the only thing going on.” The small studio in which “Local Live” takes place helps establish the intimate connec- tion between artist and audience Saxon is referring to. “We’ll have 40 chairs set up,” Brave said. “But the wristbands, we just give them out. Anyone can get a wristband. That’s why we really encourage the first- come-first-served idea.” This method of overextend- ing wristband giveaways is rem- iniscent of the old ACL tapings that took place in KLRU’s Studio 6A, which became infamous for its long lines and extreme exclu- sivity. “Local Live” could be fol- lowing in the legendary televi- sion program’s mighty footsteps. “I hate to say this, but I’ve nev- er been to an ACL taping,” Rush- worth said. “I’ve seen the lines By Hannah SmothersSCIENCE & TECHNOLOGYHead model may reduce concussionsFootball is among the most violent of college sports, even with all the protective gear each player wears, and no season goes by without its share of injuries. Of most concern are the long-term risks, which include concus- sions. Helmets offer protec- tion from this, though it’s un- clear as to how much. This led Professor Murray Korman and student Duncan Miller of the US Naval Academy to create an experimental mod- el of a human head, which consists of a brass cylinder within foam, all enclosed in a plastic hoop. The aim of the model, which is still in its ear- ly stages, is to indicate how the brain reverberates inside the skull after a collision. The model will hopefully lead to better-designed helmets pro- tecting the heads of athletes. Italy shakes up scientistsThe Italian government sentenced six scientists, as well as an official, to six years in prison. The charge? Fail- ing to alert the public of an impending large-scale earth- quake three and a half years ago. The problem is that earthquake prediction, even with the best science, is im- possible, causing many to see the accused as scapegoats for a blameless tragedy. “I thought I would be acquitted. I still don’t understand what I’m accused of,” one of the convicted sci- entists said at the time. The Italian legal system allows for two appeals, which the seven will be using in the hopes of overturning the conviction; however, many members of the scientific community are outraged that these frivolous charges even made it as far as a trial. Don’t fear the fecesTreatments aren’t neces- sarily supposed to be pleas- ant, as the phrases “bitter pill to swallow” and “give him a taste of his own medi- cine” indicate, but a recently developed treatment for a Clostridium difficile infec- tion puts anything you have in your medicine cabinet to shame. The procedure in- volves placing healthy fecal matter, collected from other people, into the intestines of patients. The feces is natu- rally full of bacteria which aids the body in digestion as well as stimulating the im- mune system and, most im- portantly, cures the infection more often than not. A new study reports that not only is the procedure effective, it’s also very safe, with a speedy recovery for almost all of the test cases. In addition, because of the nasogastric tube, patient never have to taste or smell the life-saving excrement, although they do need to make peace with the idea that it’s sitting in their intestines. Sex addiction legitimizedAlthough celebrities have often used it as an excuse, sex addiction hasn’t yet been officially recognized in the CITYEmily Ng | Daily Texan Staff Jason Walker, director of research at the Texas State Cemetery, and Will Erwin, senior historian, stand at the graves of authors Walter Webb and Fred Gipson. Ulysses S. Grant’s kind side revealedThis Saturday, authors Jason Walker and Will Er- win will be hosting a tour through what Walker be- lieves is “the most unique historic site in the state.” It’s not a museum, a battlefield or the former residence of an important Texan, but rather the final residence of hun- dreds of important Texans. It’s the Texas State Cemetery. Although the tour will be held by moonlight the weekend before Halloween, the event is not meant to be a search for spirits. Rather, it is a celebration of what Walker and Erwin believe to be one of the best museums in the state. The tour is part of the Tex- as Book Festival’s “Lit Crawl” event, which takes place at venues across East Austin after the main book festival events close. “Very, very rarely are peo- ple allowed to walk around the state cemetery after dark,” Erwin said. “Usually, if people are there after dark, they’re breaking the law.” The tour offers attendees the chance to experience the state cemetery by moonlight without risking arrest. Walker serves as the direc- tor of research at the Texas State Cemetery, while Erwin serves as the senior histo- rian. The cemetery staff is small, however, so both of them multitask. “It’s a very small organi- zation, so it’s hard to do one job,” Walker said. In addition to their regular duties, the two also guide tours, help arrange funerals and main- tain the website. Erwin is also the cemetery photographer. The two also write books. Walker and Erwin co-wrote “Texas State Cemetery,” pub- lished last year by the Univer- sity of Texas Press. “It was a long time in the works,” Walker said of the book. The book came out of a pas- sion the two had for the his- LITERATUREBy Olivia Arena H.W. Brands focuses on the complexities of the Union leader Ulysses S. Grant in his biography “The Man Who Saved the Union: Ulysses Grant in War and Peace.” Brands is currently writing a history of the United States in biographies, and Grant’s biography is the fourth in- stallation in a six-part series. The Daily Texan spoke with Brands about his unconven- tional portrayal of Grant as a progressive president rather than the brutal commander who destroyed the South. The Daily Texan: Why did you pick Ulysses S. Grant to repre- sent the Civil War time period in your documentation of American history? H.W. Brands: In the first place, Grant was a soldier and I have come to realize that soldiers, warriors play a large role in history. I wanted to see what kind of personality became a great soldier. That was part of the reason. The other part was that America is a country that has been shaped dramati- cally by war. I wanted to look at the role of war in American history. And I wanted to look at the character of a warrior or a soldier, and Grant was the obvious choice. DT: Why do you think he was so disrespected after the Civil War? Brands: There were people who felt like they needed to choose sides by their favorite general, and typically Grant was opposed to Robert E. Lee ... Robert E. Lee had the ad- vantage of being more hand- some, more dashing, more the mythical figure. [The South] thought Lee was the more brilliant general, Grant the butcher. This is the story that was told for decades after- wards. This overlooks a fun- damental fact of war which is you win by whatever means you have available. Grant un- derstood what could lead to a Union victory and he fol- lowed that path. Nonethe- less, that didn’t seem dashing. That didn’t seem gentlemanly. That seemed plodding. That seemed almost barbarous. DT: How would you characterize Grant? Brands: Grant had a genius for war. He understood what was required to win. He could visualize the battlefield bet- ter than most people could. He understood logistics, how you get provisions, troops, equipment and ammunition to the front when you need it. He also had the ability to look past the casualties of any given battle to the long-term goal. Grant, unlike Lincoln’s previous generals, could make that awful decision to set the battle in motion, even when he knew that 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 young men might not survive the battle. DT: At what point do you think that Grant had a downfall? Brands: Grant had political enemies. All forceful politi- cians do. Grant remained the most popular man throughout his presidency. He could have been elected a third time if he had desired it, but he didn’t. He was enormously popular at his death in 1885. Grant was the great hero of his age. Needless to say, he wasn’t so popular in the South because he had been the general on the other side.
