The University of Texas at 
Austin may break ground on 
a new UT medical school in 
2013 after voters approved a 
property tax increase that will 
help fund the school and as-
sociated teaching hospital, UT 
officials said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Travis County 
voters approved increasing 
property taxes collected by 
Central Health, Travis Coun-
ty’s hospital district, from 7.89 
cents to 12.9 cents per $100 of 
assessed property value. Elec-
tion results show 55 percent, 
or 186,128 people, voted in fa-
vor of the increase and 45 per-
cent, or 154,308, voted against.
The increase will contribute 
an estimated $35 million an-
nually toward operations at 
the teaching hospital and pur-
chase medical services there.
During a press conference 
Wednesday, UT President 
William Powers Jr. said the 
University hopes to begin 
constructing the medical 
school in 2013 and enrolling 
medical students in 2015 or 
2016, although he said that 
timetable may be too aggres-
sive. He said the school will 
be finished within the decade.
“This is not off in the 
2020s,” Powers said.
However, the tax increase 
will not take effect until a 
U.S. district court conducts a 
hearing on the legality of the 
proposition’s ballot language.

10A ROYAL LEGACYProp. 1 passes; UT gears up for new schoolCITYPOLICEAPD policy to inform UTPD of close threatsFormer UT 
deans paid 
more than 
current onesBy Joshua FechterThanks to a new policy, 
UTPD will now be better 
informed of incidents in the 
area surrounding campus 
that could pose a threat to the 
UT community.
The Austin Police Depart-
ment watch commander on 
duty is now required to im-
mediately notify the UT Police 
Department by phone of inci-
dents within a two-block ra-
dius of campus that could pose 
a threat to the University. They 
are also now required to send 
an email notification to UTPD 
for less threatening incidents. 
The changes took effect Oct. 1.
Austin police Lt. Kevin 
Leverenz said Austin police 
have always worked to notify 
UTPD of these incidents, but 
this requirement helps guar-
antee notification by formal-
izing the process.
“There was no system-
atic rule to ensure that the 
UT pays former deans who 
now serve as professors in the 
School of Social Work and 
the School of Architecture at 
higher rates than the schools’ 
current deans.
From data obtained through 
a public information request, 
The Daily Texan found the 
pay rates of four former deans 
and one department chair in-
creased or remained the same 
after they resigned from their 
administrative position to teach 
and research full time. The Dai-
ly Texan also found that a vice 
president who stepped down 
from his position saw a smaller 
salary decrease than a dean 
who stepped down from his 
position two months later. Out 
of seven administrators The 
Daily Texan looked at, only one 
saw a decrease in monthly pay. 
One of the former deans, 
social work professor Barbara 
White, earns $237,250 annually, 
the same as her salary before she 
stepped down as dean in August 
2011. In 2011-2012, current so-
cial work dean Luis H. Zayas’ 
salary was $183,333 — $53,917 
less than White’s, according to 
The Texas Tribune government 
employee database.

SYSTEMThe UT community paid tribute to legendary 
football coach Darrell K Royal, who died of compli-
cations from cardiovascular disease early Wednes-
day morning at an assisted living facility in Austin. 
Royal was 88.
Visitors began gathering at Royal’s statue 
around noon, laying bouquets of flowers. The 
southeast gates to the stadium near the statue will 
remain open until 11 p.m. Thursday. To further 
remember Royal, the Tower was lit burnt orange 
Wednesday night.
Royal is survived by his wife, Edith, and son, 
Mack. His two children, Marian and David, 
preceded him in death. A memorial service will 
be held at noon Tuesday at the Frank Erwin Cen-
ter, and is open to the public. Royal’s burial will 
be private.

Speck, earns $948 a month 
more than current architec-
ture dean Frederick Steiner. 
Speck, who served as ar-
chitecture dean from 1993 
to 2001, had a $140,000 
salary in 2001 and earned 
$138,000 as a professor the 
following year. As dean, 
Speck was paid for 12 
months of work, but as a 
professor, his professor’s sal-
ary is paid for nine months 
of work from September to 
May. As dean in 2001, Speck 
earned $11,667 per month, 
and as a professor he earned 
$15,333 per month.
As a professor, UT now 
pays Speck $204,151, or 
$22,683 per month, for the 
nine-month academic year. 
In 2011-2012, current archi-
tecture dean Steiner earned 
$260,820, or $21,735 per 
month, for 12 months. 
Steven Leslie said as 
UT executive vice presi-
dent and provost, he over-
sees all deans and makes 
adjustments to a faculty 
member’s salary if they 
step down as a dean. The 
University pays professors 
on a nine-month academic 
schedule and deans on a 
12-month administrative 
schedule, Leslie said.
“If an administrator has 
been in a higher position for 
many years, sometimes the cir-
cumstance is that the academic 
rate is too low,” Leslie said.
Marketplace-related issues 
that vary across fields drive 
faculty salaries, and the Uni-
versity makes salary decisions 
to recruit and retain faculty 
members, Leslie said.
Leslie was not at the Uni-
versity when Speck’s salary 
was reappointed after Speck 
stepped down as dean and 
said he is unaware of the spe-
cific measures taken into con-
sideration when deciding his 
salary as a professor.
Juan Gonzalez’s salary 
went from $232,456 for 12 
months to $204,164 for nine 
months when he stepped 
down from working as vice 
president for student af-
fairs. During his last year in 
that position, UT also paid 
Gonzalez for working as 
a research fellow. UT now 
pays Gonzalez for working 
as a senior lecturer and a 
research fellow.
UT president William 
Powers Jr. oversees salary re-
appointments for vice presi-
dents who step down. 
Former School of Un-
dergraduate Studies dean 
Paul Woodruff, who was 
paid $253,575 on an admin-
istrative schedule during 
the 2011-2012 fiscal year, 
also saw a decrease when 
he stepped down. Wood-
ruff now serves as a profes-
sor and earns $164,172 on 
a nine-month academic 
schedule.
Gonzalez’s monthly pay 
increased to $22,685 from 
$19,371 while Woodruff’s 
monthly pay dropped to 
$18,241 from $21,131.
Finance professor George 
Gau, former dean of the Mc-
Combs School of Business, 
saw an increase in pay rate 
when he stepped down in 
2008. Gau earned $332,500, 
or $27,708 a month, for 
12 months. UT now pays 
Gau $257,500, or $28,611 a 
month, for nine months. 
Public affairs professor 
Victoria Rodriguez and 
finance professor George 
Gau, saw higher monthly 
pay rates as professors than 
they received as deans. En-
gineering professor Joseph 
Beaman stepped down as 
chair of the mechanical 
engineering department 
in January. Beaman’s salary 
for 2012-2013 is $224,129 
— $11,000 more than his 
previous nine-month aca-
demic rate of $213,129 for 
2011-2012. In 2011-2012, 
current department chair 
Jayathi Murthy was paid 
$120,556 — $103,573 less 
than Beaman.
Maria Arrellaga, spokes-
person for the Cockrell 
School of Engineering, said 
Beaman’s salary increased 
because of a standard stipend 
given to faculty members af-
ter they serve two terms as 
a department chair. Chair 
terms are typically four 
years, and Beaman served 
for 11 years.

opposes Proposition 1, sued 
Central Health, alleging that 
the proposition’s ballot lan-
guage violates the U.S. Voting 
Rights Act of 1965 by mis-
leading voters and expressing 
advocacy for the proposition. 
A hearing is scheduled for 
Nov. 14.
When asked about the law-
suit Wednesday, Powers did 
not comment on specifics, 
but said the University takes 
seriously any lawsuit that may 
affect its operations.
Steven Leslie, executive 
vice president and pro-
vost, said the two medical 
school buildings will likely 
be constructed near Univer-
sity Medical Center Bracken-
ridge, although an official lo-
cation has not been finalized. 
Leslie said the University 
will soon appoint a com-
mittee of faculty members 
and health officials to se-
lect a dean for the medical 
school but did not specify a 
time frame for the commit-
tee’s appointment or dean’s 
selection. The University 
must also adopt plans for 
the school’s academic infra-
structure and submit them 
for accreditation, a process 
that may take about three 
years, he said.
“We will build a great medi-
cal school for Austin and Cen-
tral Texas,” Leslie said.
In May, the UT System 
Board of Regents pledged 
$30 million per year for eight 
years and $25 million per 
year after the first eight years 
for the medical school. The 
Seton Family of Hospitals 
pledged $250 million to-
ward the construction of the 
teaching hospital.
Greg Hartman, Seton 
president and CEO, said 
Seton’s parent company, As-
cension Health, will decide 
whether to approve Seton’s 
pledge next spring.
Hartman said Seton will 
continue to fund residency 
programs it offers in part-
nership with UT Southwest-
ern until the UT medical 
school eventually absorbs 
those programs.
Carlos Femat, community 
relations manager at Central 
Health, said the tax increase 
will take effect Oct. 1, 2013.
University of Texas Police 
Department were aware 
of an incident that was 
nearby the campus, so we 
are just trying to fill in a 
gap,” Leverenz said.
Leverenz said incidents 
that automatically qualify 
for the immediate phone 
alert are a barricaded 
subject, hostage situation, 
active shooter, shoot-
ing, stabbing, homicide, 
suspicious death, kid-
napping, sexual assault, 
robbery, bomb threat, in-
decency with a child, riot 
and person with a gun. 
He said incidents that 
automatically qualify for 
the email notification are 
a missing person, suicide, 
suicidal subject, deceased 
person identified as a stu-
dent, crowd control in-
cident, report of hazing, 
missing person involving 
a UT student and report 
of shots fired. 
UT police chief Robert 
Dahlstrom said in some 
cases UTPD did not learn 
about incidents in a timely 
manner or at all, making 
the policy change necessary.
Leverenz said the Austin 
Police Department’s com-
munication office will now 
receive a notification when 
an incident that falls into 
the criteria occurs, telling 
them to inform the watch 
commander on duty, who 
will notify UTPD. 
Leverenz said for inci-
dents that fall outside of 
the criteria, Austin police 
will continue to exercise 
their judgment in deter-
mining whether UT po-
lice need to be notified. 
Dahlstrom said UT po-
lice have always notified 
Austin police of relevant 
incidents, although there 
is not a formal policy in 
place. He said most po-
lice departments use their 
own discretion on when 
to notify other police de-
partments of incidents. 
He said the relationship 
between UTPD and APD 
is excellent.
Dahlstrom and Leverenz 
said both UTPD and APD 
will evaluate the effective-
ness of the initiative in the 
future and may expand the 
specified two-block radius 
if needed. 
Dahlstrom said the ra-
dius may change as the 
campus changes as well.

DENVER — First came 
marijuana as medicine. Now 
comes legal pot for the people.
Those who have argued for 
decades that legalizing and 
taxing weed would be better 
than a costly, failed U.S. drug 
war have their chance to prove 
it, as Colorado and Washing-
ton became the first states to 
allow pot for recreational use.
While the measures 
earned support from broad 
swaths of the electorate in 
both states Tuesday, they are 
likely to face resistance from 
federal drug warriors. As of 
Wednesday, authorities did 
not say whether they would 
challenge the new laws.
Pot advocates say a fight is 
exactly what they want.
“I think we are at a tipping 
point on marijuana policy,” 
Brian Vicente, co-author of 
Colorado’s marijuana mea-
sure said. “We are going to 
see whether marijuana pro-
hibition survives, or whether 
we should try a new and 
more sensible approach.”
Soon after the measures 
passed, cheering people 
poured out of bars in Den-
ver, the tangy scent of pot 
filling the air, and others in 
Seattle lit up in celebration.
Authorities in Colorado, 
however, urged caution. “Fed-
eral law still says marijuana is 
an illegal drug, so don’t break 
out the Cheetos or Goldfish 
too quickly,” Democratic Gov. 
John Hickenlooper, who op-
posed the measure said.
As the initial celebration 
dies down and the process to 
implement the laws progress-
es over the next year, other 
states and countries will be 
watching to see if the mea-
sures can both help reduce 
money going to drug cartels 
and raise it for governments.
Governments in Latin 
America where drugs are 
produced for the U.S. market 
were largely quiet about the 
measures, but the main ad-
viser to Mexico’s president-
elect said the new laws will 
force the U.S. and his coun-
try to reassess how they fight 
cross-border pot smuggling.
Analysts said that there 
would likely be an impact on 
cartels in Mexico that send 
pot to the U.S., but differed 
on how soon and how much.
Both measures call for 
the drug to be heavily taxed, 
with the profits headed 
to state coffers. Colorado 
would devote the potential 
tax revenue first to school 
construction, while Wash-
ington’s sends pot taxes to an 
array of health programs.
Estimates vary widely on 
how much they would raise. 
Colorado officials anticipate 
somewhere between $5 mil-
lion and $22 million a year. 
Washington analysts esti-
mated legal pot could pro-
duce nearly $2 billion over 
five years.

BRIEFLYColo., Wash. legalize marijuanaEd Andrieski | Associated PressBetty Aldworth, center, a director of the Yes on 64 campaign responds to questions about the 
legalization of marijuana at a news conference at Civic Center Park in Denver on Wednesday. 
Co-directors Brian Vicente and Mason Tvert listen.
Ariana Cubillos | Associated PressThe front page of a Venezuelan newspaper features a pic-
ture of U.S. President Barack Obama with a headline read-
ing in Spanish, “Obama: I won!” at a newsstand in Caracas, 
Venezuela, Wednesday. 
Latin America’s left 
relieved after electionCARACAS, Venezuela 
— From Caracas to Havana 
to La Paz, President Barack 
Obama’s re-election victory 
was welcomed with a sigh 
of relief by many on Latin 
America’s left, though others 
cautioned that the U.S. lead-
er had not made the region 
a priority during his crisis-
buffeted first term and was 
unlikely to do so in a second.
In Cuba, state-run news 
website CubaSi called the 
outcome a victory for the 
lesser of two evils, saying: 
“U.S. elections: the worst 
one did not win.”
“The news of Barack 
Obama’s triumph in yes-
terday’s general elections 
in the United States was re-
ceived with some relief and 
without great optimism,” 
CubaSi wrote.
On the streets of Cara-
cas, some said they worried 
that a Romney win would 
have brought a much hard-
er line against leftist leaders 
such as their own President 
Hugo Chavez, and that they 
hoped another four-year 
term for Obama would 
bring relatively peaceful 
U.S.-Latin American ties.
“The other guy would have 
cut off relations with Venezu-
ela,” said Cesar Echezuria, a 
street vendor selling news-
papers emblazoned with 
front-page photos of Obama 
celebrating. “It would have 
been a disaster for Venezuela 
if Obama had lost.”
Venezuelan President 
Hugo Chavez has not com-
mented since Tuesday’s 
vote, but he raised eyebrows 
during the campaign when 
he said that if he were an 
American, he’d cast his ballot 
for Obama over Republican 
Mitt Romney. Despite years 
of strained relations between 
Chavez and Washington, the 
United States remains the 
top buyer of Venezuelan oil.
President Raul Castro’s 
government is also often 
critical of the American 
president, but under a Rom-
ney administration it might 
have faced unwelcome roll-
backs of Obama policies 
that relaxed restrictions on 
Cuban-American travel and 
remittances and increased 
cultural exchanges.
The U.S. remains the top 
trading partner of many 
countries in the region, with 
exceptions including Brazil 
and Chile, where China has 
recently taken its place.
During the presidential 
debates, Romney had called 
Latin America a “huge oppor-
tunity” for the U.S. economi-
cally. The region, however, 
was far from a hot topic in the 
election and seldom garnered 
mentions by the candidates 
— although one pro-Rom-
ney television ad in Florida 
had played up Chavez’s pro-
Obama comments.
Ahead of the vote, some 
commentators in Latin 
America had groused that 
Obama and Romney were 
so similar in foreign policy 
stances that the result didn’t 
matter much. A recent 
front-page cartoon in Argen-
tina’s Pagina12 newspaper 
summed up such complaints, 
showing a conversation be-
tween two bearded men. One 
remarked: “What difference 
is there between Republicans 
and Democrats?” The other 
answered: “Both bomb you, 
but the Democrats afterward 
feel just a little bit bad about it.”
By Ian JamesAssociated PressObama hopes to avoid 
gridlock, squabblingCHICAGO — President 
Barack Obama has tele-
phoned leading lawmakers 
from both parties to talk 
about a legislative agenda for 
the remainder of the year.
Obama called House Speak-
er John Boehner, Senate Ma-
jority Leader Harry Reid, Sen-
ate Republican Leader Mitch 
McConnell and House Demo-
cratic Leader Nancy Pelosi on 
Wednesday following his re-
election to a second term.
The White House said 
Obama reiterated his com-
mitment to finding bipartisan 
solutions to reduce the deficit 
in a balanced way, cut taxes for 
middle-class families and small 
businesses and create jobs.
The White House said 
Obama told lawmakers that 
voters sent a message in the 
election, namely that leaders 
in both parties should put 
aside partisan interests and 
work with common purpose 
to solve problems for the 
American people.
By Kristen WyattAssociated PressLeaders abroad react

re-election in the United States 
elicited strong feelings — from 
optimism to skepticism — 
around the world. A sampling 
of global reaction:
“… We must do more to 
try and solve this crisis (in 
Syria). Above all, congratula-

a very successful U.S. president 
and I look forward to work-
ing with him in the future.” 
— British Prime Minister 
David Cameron, on a visit 
to Syrian refugees on the 
Jordanian border.
“If both parties try to … 
turn over a new leaf, if America 
comes to realize that it needs to 
work with Vladimir Putin in-
stead of thinking that it doesn’t 
like the Russia that we live in, 
then we could achieve results.” 
— Alexei Pushkov, chair-
man of the Russian Duma’s 
foreign affairs committee, 
calling for a new start to 
U.S.-Russia relations.
“The bond between Europe 
and North America, based upon 
the shared values on which our 
alliance was founded over 60 
years ago, remains as strong 
and as important... as ever. 
President Obama has demon-
strated outstanding leadership 
in maintaining this vital bond.”

warning. Obama must now take 
the stage and fulfill the prom-
ise of hope the world needs.”

First, I would like to congratulate the 
president on winning the election. It was 
a hard-fought campaign. The Ameri-
can people have spoken. Now it is over. 
It is time for us to coalesce and move 
forward. Despite the president’s well-
intentioned words about unity in his ac-
ceptance speech, the country is still very 
much divided. The president has earned 
the privilege of trust from the American 
people to lead and advocate for real solu-
tions to our country’s big problems, and 
we should expect no less. Now, looking 
ahead, what should be on the president’s 
domestic to-do list for his second term?
As the “fiscal cliff” quickly approach-
es, the president needs to bargain, tackle 
the deficit and put the country on a path 
toward fiscal stability by focusing on 
tax and entitlement reforms, the effect 
of which would lead to more jobs for 
graduates and young people and more 
take-home pay. This is the core issue. 
Our government is living on borrowed 
money. The current path guarantees 
lower standards of living for all of us 
down the road. If we think this doesn’t 
affect us, then we are being delusional.
The president needs to live up to his 
higher education target for 2020 by 
working aggressively with policymak-
ers, parents and universities to solve the 
nation’s higher education crisis. A study 
published last year made the alarming 
estimate that well over a third of college 
students graduate with no appreciable 
gains in reading, writing or quantita-
tive skills. The cost of higher education 
is going up while learning has stagnated. 
In order to remain competitive, higher 
education requires competition, choice 
and accountability in order to lower 
costs and make higher education more 
personalized, accessible and focused on 
learning.
The president needs to focus on 
comprehensive immigration reform 
and decide once and for all the status 
and future of undocumented students. 
A path to citizenship need not be am-
nesty. There are areas for agreement in 
immigration. Revamping immigration 
would mean more secure communi-
ties, especially for border states such as 
Texas, and more economic activities. 
Current policy puts us at an economic 
disadvantage. We need to import more 
highly skilled workers from abroad to 
meet the demand of our economy, es-
pecially considering that we have a gap 
in the workforce in science, technology, 
engineering and mathematics (STEM) 
fields. The president will have an oppor-
tunity to lead on this issue.
While these are the tasks I believe 
the president needs to accomplish in 
his second term, the reality of a divided 
government means more gridlock and 
theatrics. The president has a unique 
opportunity to govern from the center. 
There is no need for him to pander to 
his former progressive allies. Instead, 
he needs to work with Democrats, Re-
publicans, and Independents to put us 
on a path to prosperity. That, if accom-
plished, will be Barack Obama’s biggest 
legacy. One is allowed to be optimistic, 
I believe.

Moving forwardGALLERYFIRING LINEProp. 1 pay raiseOBSERVATIONCampus postcardUT benefits from same-sex benefitsDanny ZengGuest ColumnistHow many UT students are paying property tax on real 
property in Travis County?
The UT 40 Acres is by and large a transient culture, not un-
like “snow birds” who split up their time between latitudinal 
“nests” as the seasons change. 
Austinites, however, particularly East Austin residents, 
have been subjected to alley shacks, gentrification and UT big 
money’s eastward expansionist pressures, and have struggled 
for many years under skyrocketing property taxes fueled by 
greedy Austin realtors flushed by a flush student renter’s mar-
ket they have over a barrel. Irony isn’t the word for it — with 
this collusion between chamber, city, utility district and the 
Board of Regents’ top-heavy corporate composition, how 
could we expect anything else?
No wonder the local populace can’t leverage their own des-
tiny with a vote, pitted against unlimited PAC funding and 
a captive student body swayed at the 11th hour by a Student 
Government meeting vote to endorse Proposition 1, led by its 
two top officers writing an editorial piece further directing an 
ivory tower lockstep robot mob’s duty to cast their very first 
vote. Any secret anteroom meetings to emphasize this?
In closing, I tend to agree with Don Zimmerman, treasurer 
of the Travis County Taxpayers Union. It sets a bad precedent 
to use taxpayer money for such a project; UT has the funds to 
pay for this themselves — sell some more West Texas land. 
— John DolleyAustin residentBy now, everybody should be well aware that the medical 
school proposition has been passed by a small majority of the 
voters. Hopefully now that the University has gotten its wish 
and convinced the taxpayers of Travis County to help fund 
this new endeavor, the powers that be will be gracious enough 
to give an across the board pay raise that will help us all afford 
the extra couple of hundred dollars they will be taking from 
us each year.
— Brian ParrettStaff and AlumnusWhat could be better than a Ryan Gosling sighting on campus? 
Amid rumors that the mysterious Terrence Malick film project, 
which has thrown UT-Austin into a frenzied celebrity love-fest, 
would contain a racquetball scene, a crowd of students gathered in 
front of Gregory gym for the opportunity to catch Mr. Gosling in 
short shorts and wielding a paddle. But at the same hour a giant 
hawk chose an oak branch above the gym’s entrance as its dining 
location and took to devouring a squirrel. The sight distracted Gos-
ling hunters. We figure that either the actor has begun colluding with 
wildlife and perfected the art of avoiding a crowd, or UT students 
have once again gotten confirmation that they shouldn’t feed the 
squirrels, unless, of course, they are particularly partial to hawks.
— Edgar WaltersDaily Texan Associate EditorTwenty-four hours after polls closed, many consider 
the election a major victory for lesbian, gay, bisexual, 
transgender and queer Americans. Wisconsin elected 
Tammy Baldwin, the nation’s first openly lesbian sena-
tor, Maryland and Maine passed laws allowing same-sex 
marriage and Minnesota struck down a potential state 
constitutional ban on marriage equality.
Those victories indicate gradual progress on a nation-
al scale in the realm of LGBTQ rights, but they seem far 
removed from Texas. Ted Cruz, who won a seat to repre-
sent Texas in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, opposes same-
sex marriage and has worked in support of the federal 
Defense of Marriage Act, which denies same-sex mar-
ried couples federal and interstate recognition. In 2005, 
Texas voters approved Proposition 2, an amendment to 
the state constitution that defines marriage as between a 
man and a woman and prohibits the state from creating 
or recognizing “any legal status identical or similar to 
marriage.”
While legislation in favor of gay marriage in Texas is 
unlikely to pass any time soon, LGBTQ Texans have re-
cently seen reason to hope for increased rights and pro-
tections. In May, a federal appeals court struck down the 
provision of the Defense of Marriage Act that prohibited 
same-sex couples from receiving federal benefits. State 
entities in Texas, including the Dallas County Commis-
sioners Court and the Pflugerville Independent School 
District, responded quickly by extending employee ben-
efits to same-sex couples.
It’s time for UT-Austin to join these entities in provid-
ing domestic partner benefits. Currently, partners of UT 
faculty are entitled to a number of small-scale benefits, 
including library and Recreational Sports access, but sig-
nificant benefits like comprehensive medical insurance 
are not offered. Sick leave, bereavement leave and parental 
leave are also unavailable to LGBTQ and other partnered 
(but unmarried) UT faculty or staff.
UT’s Pride and Equity Faculty Staff Association (PEF-
SA) published a report in 2008 calling for the University to 
provide benefits to the partners of faculty and staff. Their 
most compelling argument is that the University is losing 
a competitive edge because it fails to attract and retain LG-
BTQ faculty. Keith Walters, former professor of linguistics 
and Associate Director of the Center for Middle Eastern 
Studies, shared his experience: “I left UT ... because it was 
made unequivocally clear to me that the UT administra-
tion had no interest in finding a way to provide benefits 
for the partners of lesbian and gay staff and faculty.”
An oft-cited justification for denying domestic partner 
benefits at UT is the need to decrease government ex-
penditures. But PEFSA found that the estimated cost of 
providing benefits would be 0.58 percent of the current 
UT budget amount for health insurance expenditures.
UT’s failure is not only in not providing benefits, but 
also in not upholding a fair workplace atmosphere. Lisa 
Moore, associate professor of English, explains, “If I let 
myself think about and feel the homophobia of my very 
nice, very ordinary academic workplace I couldn’t do this 
job. I think the psychic burden of that denial is another 
form of the ‘gay tax.’” Though LGBTQ faculty may not nec-
essarily face a hostile work environment, their denial of 
benefits is a form of discrimination that has been shown 
to lower morale.
Julien Carter, Associate Vice President for Human Re-
sources, said, “Pursuing domestic partner benefits not only 
advantages the GLBT community within UT, but bolsters 
the hopes and aspirations of all within the University who 
are allied with the principles of diversity, equity, and fair-
ness. In that regard, progress for one is progress for all.”
By failing on this front, UT loses its competitive edge in 
the hiring market; eight out of 10 peer public institutions 
provide domestic partner benefits, as well as all Ivy League 
universities. UT should join that crowd and get on board 
with the entire nation’s rising support of LGBTQ rights by 
offering domestic partner benefits. Our academic reputa-
tion depends on it.
Why should we pay?
UT’s failure is not only in not providing 
benefits, but also in not upholding a fair 
workplace atmosphere ... Though LGBTQ 
faculty may not necessarily face a hostile 
work environment, their denial of benefits 
is a form of discrimination that has been 
shown to lower morale.
The president has a unique opportunity to govern from 
the center. There is no need for him to pander to his 
former progressive allies. Instead, he needs to work 
with Democrats, Republicans and Independents to put 
us on a path to prosperity.

wonderful friend, a men-
tor, a confidant and my 
hero. College football lost 
maybe its best ever and 
the world lost a great man. 
I can hardly put in words 
how much Coach Royal 
means to me and all that 
he has done for me and my 
family. I wouldn’t even be 
at Texas without Coach.”
Royal came to Texas in-
December of 1956 at age 
32 and immediately began 
to turn around what was a 
downtrodden football team. 
In his first season, Royal led 
the Longhorns to a No. 11 
national ranking and a berth 
in the Sugar Bowl. The rest of 
his career (1956-76) at Texas 
brought much of the same, 
with the Longhorns going 
167-47-5 with Royal as head 
coach, including three na-
tional championships and 
11 Southwest Conference 
titles. Royal, a member of 
the College Football Hall 
of Fame, remains the all-
time winningest coach in 
program history.
On Saturday against Iowa 
State, the Longhorns will 
wear “DKR” decals on the 
side of their helmets and 
the first offensive play from 
scrimmage will be run from 
the wishbone formation, 
Royal’s brainchild. 
“He built the foundation 
we’re working off of today,” 
athletic director DeLoss 
Dodds said in a press con-
ference. “He absolutely got 
us started in the right di-
rection. He took a program 
that was struggling and 
took it to new heights. He 
gave us confidence to help 
build and brand the Univer-
sity. This is a tough time for 
all of us.”
Royal was responsible for 
the integration of the football 
team, which had its first Afri-
can-American member, Julius 
Whittier, in 1970. Integration 
had already been mandated at 
that point, but many of Roy-
al’s bosses thought the foot-
ball field should be a place 
without color.
“He took a lot of criti-
cism that Texas wasn’t in-
tegrated by then, but that 
wasn’t his call,” Bill Little, a 
close friend and special as-
sistant to football coach for 
communications, said. 
Whittier told The Daily 
Texan in 2010 that he “owed 
everything” to Royal.
Born in Hollis, Okla., on 
July 6, 1924, Royal grew up 
a child of the Great Depres-
sion and the Dust Bowl. He 
starred at quarterback, de-
fensive back and punter at 
the University of Oklahoma, 
where he still holds the ca-
reer record for interceptions. 
Royal was a coach at four 
universities as well as the Ed-
monton Eskimos of what was 
then known as the Canadian 
Rugby Union before coming 
to the 40 Acres. 
In 1963, his seventh sea-
son in Austin, Royal led the 
Longhorns to their first na-
tional championship. Fac-
ing the Roger Staubach-led 
Navy Midshipmen at the 
Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas 
jumped out to a 28-0 lead by 
the end of the third quarter 
and triumphed, 28-6.
After three consecutive 
four-loss seasons, Royal 
hired Emory Bellard in 1968 
to be his offensive coordina-
tor. Together, they invented 
the wishbone formation — 
an offensive alignment that 
put the quarterback under 
center, a fullback directly be-
hind him and two running 
backs lined up, offset, behind 
the fullback. 
The formation, perfected 
by quarterback James Street, 
helped Texas win two more 
national titles under Royal, 
the next coming in 1969. In 
the top-ranked Longhorns’ 
regular season finale that 
year against No. 2 Arkansas 
— dubbed “The Game of the 
Century” — they faced a 14-0 
deficit after three quarters. 
Street engineered a pair of 
fourth-quarter touchdown 
drives that gave Texas a 15-
14 victory, leading President 
Richard Nixon to proclaim 
the Longhorns the best col-
lege football team in the 
country in the locker room 
after the game. 
That triumph was Texas’ 
20th in a row, a streak that 
reached 30 straight vic-
tories in 1970, when the 
Longhorns captured their 
third national champion-
ship under Royal. They fell 
to Notre Dame in the Cot-
ton Bowl, 24-11, that sea-
son but still earned a share 
of the title. 
That year also marked 
the last time Royal’s Long-
horns beat Oklahoma. 
Royal won 12 of his first 14 
games against OU as Texas’ 
head coach before losing 
five in a row from 1971 to 
1975. His Longhorns won 
17 of their first 18 games 
against Texas A&M be-
fore falling to the Aggies 
in 1975 and 1976, Royal’s 
20th and final year as Tex-
as’ head coach.
Royal, who served as UT’s 
athletic director from 1962 
to 1980, played an instru-
mental role in convincing 
Mack Brown to leave North 
Carolina for Texas in Decem-
ber of 1997. In Brown’s 2001 
book, “One Heartbeat,” he 
describes an Atlanta meet-
ing with a Texas committee, 
of which Royal was a part, set 
to find its new coach: 
“When we had some time 
to be alone, [Royal] told me, 
‘You need to take this job.’”
“I said, ‘Why?’”
“He said, ‘Because we 
need help.’”
Brown is currently 19 wins 
away from tying Royal as the 
program’s career leader in wins. 
“Coach gave so much 
more to the state of Texas 
and college football than he 
took away,” Brown said. “He 
forgot more football than 
most of us will ever know, 
including me. His impact 
on the game, the coaches 
and players, the community 
and the millions of lives he 
touched, is insurmountable.”
At a time when the nation 
was divided by an unpopular 
war and trembling under the 
threat of the Red Scare, Royal 
was a hero in a time of need, 
Little said.
“Coach was a larger-than-
life figure who came along 
when we needed a hero,” Lit-
tle said. “He was young and 
he stood for something fun. 
Certainly the state of Texas 
and college football were 
hooked onto that trailer and 
the things he stood for. In-
tegrity was the number one 
thing in his life. He wasn’t go-
ing to cut corners. That’s why 
he touched so many people.”
Beloved for his folksy 
quips, Royal believed that 
“only three things can hap-
pen when you throw the 
football and two of them 
are bad,” that you “should 
dance with the one who 
brung ya” and once called 
an opposing quarterback 
“as quick as a hiccup.”
“He had a great sense 
of humor,” Dodds said. “I 
played golf with him and he 
had some great lines, espe-
cially about my golf game. I 
hit a ball into the rough once 
and he said, ‘Lassie couldn’t 
find that ball if it had bacon 
wrapped around it.’”
Dodds saw Royal before 
Texas’ game against Wyo-
ming Sept. 1, when Royal 
and his wife were honorary 
captains for the pregame 
coin toss. A victim of Al-
zheimer’s disease, Royal had 
to be helped to midfield.
“I watched that and 
knew that’d be the last time 
he’d be at [the stadium],” 
Dodds said.
The Darrell K Royal Re-
search Fund for Alzheimer’s 
Disease was launched in Feb-
ruary to “expand the para-
digms of care and access for 
Texans enabling exposure to 
preventative and treatment 
strategies aimed at combat-
ting the epidemic.”
University of Texas President 
William Powers Jr. is hopeful 
the new medical school will 
adequately serve those with 
Alzheimer’s disease.
“It would be a great legacy 
to Coach if significant prog-
ress and breakthroughs on 
Alzheimer’s could take place 
on our campus,” Powers said.
Royal befriended a wide 
array of personalities, in-
cluding 36th President of 
the United States Lyndon 
B. Johnson, musician Willie 
Nelson and astronaut Char-
lie Duke. Johnson wasn’t a 
fan of football, Little said, 
but would watch the Long-
horns play just for Royal.
“LBJ was a fan of people,” 
Little said. “Coach Royal was 
the rarest of people.”

Mack Brown, left, said Darrell Royal was instrumental in bringing him 
from North Carolina to Texas before the 1998 season.
1957 
Royal, hired in 1956, guided the Texas Longhorns 
to a No. 11 national ranking in his first season on 
the job. Royal won the program’s first national 
championship in 1963 with an upset over Roger 
Staubach and Navy in the Cotton Bowl Classic. 
1944 
Darrell K Royal, born in 1924 in Hollis, Okla., 
played for the University of Oklahoma from 1946 to 
1949, starring at quarterback, defensive back and 
punter. In his final season he was named an All-
American. His 17 career interceptions are still tied 
for the school record.
“Coach Royal will always have a special place in 
the hearts of Sooners’ fans as an unbelievably tal-
ented player,” current OU coach Bob Stoops said 
in a statement Wednesday.

Royal, shown here announcing the integration 
of the UT athletic department, served as athletic 
director from 1962-80. Seven seasons passed until 
Julius Whittier became the first African-American 
on the varsity roster.
“I wish I had about six Julius Whittiers,” Royal 
told The Daily Texan in 2010. 
Royal through the years

Malcolm Brown has missed 
the last five games with an 
ankle injury, but he was ready 
to play last week and it’s likely 
that the sophomore running 
back will see the field against 
Iowa State, said head coach 
Mack Brown.
“[Malcolm] Brown was 
ready to play Saturday, but 
he just didn’t practice much,” 
Mack Brown said. “We 
would only play him if we 
needed him.”
Brown’s return brings 
an element the Longhorns’ 
ground game has lacked: a 
physical inside rushing pres-
ence. He’s a tough runner be-
tween the tackles, and before 
his injury he was the Long-
horns’ most effective overall 
back, leading the team with 
238 rushing yards through 
the first three games. This 
total was in spite of the two 
rushes attempted in the New 
Mexico contest, nine fewer 
than Joe Bergeron.
“Malcolm looks good back 
in action,” running back Johna-
than Gray said. “Looking for-
ward to getting him back in the 
running back room. It’ll be ex-
citing to have him back.” 
Gap control improvingAfter one of the worst defen-
sive performances in team his-
tory at the Cotton Bowl — the 
Longhorns gave up 343 yards 
on the ground to the Sooners 
— the unit has slowly gotten 
better at containing the run.
The Longhorns surrendered 
255 yards rushing to Baylor 
and then 234 yards a week 
later to Kansas. However, Texas 
made its largest jump Saturday 
against Texas Tech, when the 
Longhorns held the Red Raid-
ers to only 112 yards on the 
ground — the lowest total the 
team has allowed since the first 
game of the season.
Some of this can be attrib-
uted to its inability to tackle, 
but the other large factor in 
Texas’ lack of a stopgap on the 
ground has been missed as-
signments — an area the team 
has made great strides in over 
the last three halves of football 
it’s played.
“It was just gap cancellation” 
safety Kenny Vaccaro said. “If 
you don’t do your job then it 
just leaves big holes, and it can 
be one guy. We corrected that 
at Kansas. Steve and the other 
linebackers did a great job 
against Tech. They canceled all 
the gaps out, and now I think 
we are back.”
Horns face early wake-up call 
Texas does not seem to be a 
morning team.
Twice the Longhorns have 
played at 11 a.m. this season 
and neither time were the 
results particularly positive. 
The first opportunity it had 
at 11 a.m. was against Okla-
homa and Texas was blasted 
63-21. The second time the 
Longhorns almost lost to Kan-
sas, easily the worst team in 
the Big 12.
On Saturday, Texas will 
once again face an 11 a.m. 
kickoff when it takes on Iowa 
State, but this time the game 
will be at Darrell K Royal-
Texas Memorial Stadium, so 
the transition will be a little 
easier. After two experiences, 
the team feels like the third 
time will be the charm for the 
early start.
“We’ll all be ready to go this 
weekend,” cornerback Car-
rington Byndom said. “We’ll all 
get up and have a pot of coffee 
and be ready to go.”
On Tuesday, millions of 
Americans cast their ballots 
and let their voices be heard 
in this year’s presidential and 
congressional elections. In the 
spirit of election season, here 
are my top candidates to have 
breakout games this weekend 
in fantasy football, along with 
a few players who should be 
benched without debate: 
Start1) Julio Jones, WR, 
Atlanta Falcons 
Although fellow Falcons 
wide receiver Roddy White 
could easily be here, I chose 
Jones instead. The second-
year receiver snagged five 
balls for 129 yards in a strong 
outing against a tough Cow-
boys defense last week and 
faces a much easier matchup 
this week in New Orleans. Al-
though he’s yet to score in con-
secutive games, expect Jones 
to light up the Saints defense, 
which is giving up more points 
against opposing wide receiv-
ers than anyone in the league. 
2) Vick Ballard, RB, 
Indianapolis ColtsIf you’re in need of an 
emergency fill-in at running 
back this week, Ballard’s your 
man. With starter Donald 
Brown hindered by injuries 
and unlikely to play much 
this week, Ballard should 
have a big game tonight 
against the Jacksonville Jag-
uars, who gave up four rush-
ing touchdowns last week to 
the Detroit Lions. Consider-
ing he’s available in almost 
half of all fantasy leagues, 
snatch him up if you have 
the chance. 
3) Joe Flacco, QB, 
Baltimore RavensFlacco’s been quiet over the 
past month, failing to throw 
more than a single touchdown 
in any game. This week, how-
ever, the Ravens face an Oak-
land defense that was absolutely 
gashed by Tampa Bay’s Doug 
Martin while also giving up two 
passing touchdowns to Josh 
Freeman. Although Ray Rice 
will have a huge game, Flacco 
should get several opportuni-
ties to throw the ball downfield 
on play-action passes. 
Sit1) Carson Palmer, QB, 
Oakland RaidersPalmer had a big fan-
tasy outing last week, pass-
ing for 414 yards and four 
touchdowns. However, that 
was largely a product of him 
throwing the ball a whopping 
61 times. If Palmer has to do 
the same against Baltimore’s 
defense, which ranks third 
against opposing fantasy quar-
terbacks and is coming off its 
bye week, he could be in for a 
rough day. 
2) Dwayne Bowe, WR, 
Kansas City ChiefsAlthough Bowe’s only man-
aged to score three touchdowns 
all season, it’s not his fault he’s 
surrounded by a lack of talent, 
especially at the quarterback 
position. To make things worse, 
Bowe and the Chiefs face the 
Steelers and a suffocating de-
fense on Monday Night Foot-
ball in Pittsburgh. Whether it’s 
Matt Cassel or Brady Quinn 
throwing to him, it really doesn’t 
matter. Avoid Bowe if you have 
another option.
One year ago this time, the 
women’s basketball team was 
gearing up for the start of its 
season. As they do the same 
right now, a lot has changed for 
this Texas team. 
After Gail Goestenkors’ res-
ignation last season, the team 
hired head coach Karen Aston. 
Aston was an assistant to Jody 
Conradt for eight years at UT-
Austin before she began her 
head coaching career at Char-
lotte and then North Texas.
With Aston came a whole 
new coaching staff. She wanted 
to put a big focus on condi-
tioning so she hired Shaun 
McPherson as the strength 
and conditioning coach. Aston 
added Jalie Mitchell and George 
Washington as assistant coach-
es, Angela Ortega as director of 
basketball operations and other 
special assistants.
While the coaching staff 
might have changed, the Texas 
players are back and eager to 
get their season started. The 
team is returning 57 percent of 
its scoring and 53 percent of its 
rebounds from last year. Key 
returners involve preseason 
All-Big 12 Honorable Mention 
Chassidy Fussell, who was the 
team’s leading scorer last year, 
and leader Nneka Enemkpali.
“Nneka Enemkpali has been 
extremely impressive to me,” 
said Aston. “She’s become con-
sistent with her work ethic and 
that’s a big thing for me. Also, 
Chassidy Fussell is a scorer, her 
mentality is to score and that 
will never go away.”
However, Aston has her 
eye on many new players who 
have just arrived on her court. 
One of these athletes is Nadia 
Taylor, who played softball for 
UT for the last four years be-
fore she decided to come back 
to basketball.
“[Taylor] is a player and a 
young lady that has gained an 
enormous amount of respect 
from myself, my staff and her 
teammates,” Aston said. “To 
have been away from the game 
for that long of amount of time 
and played a sport that is dra-
matically different from a con-
ditioning standpoint and just 
throw yourself in there and do 
the best you can do, you have to 
admire that as far as her amount 
of minutes. I think there is a 
learning curve with having been 
away from the game.”
Nevertheless, Aston isn’t 
afraid to play these young play-
ers who have just arrived right 
away. After multiple injuries she 
might not even have a choice 
as many newcomers might get 
thrown into the starting lineup. 
However, she believes they have 
proved they can be there.
“Starting with the newcom-
ers, I think they’re all going to 
play a considerable amount,” 
Aston said. “We’re still deal-

Roster lauded by coachAston brings style, savvy to squadSIDELINEBy Garrett CallahanRestless and decorated, Kar-
en Aston is all business.
After five seasons under the 
direction of Gail Goestenkors, 
the Texas women’s basketball 
team will take flight under a 
new leader. Although Aston is 
a fresh face to most, this season 
marks her long-awaited return 
to Texas.
“I’m just really excited and 
honored,” Aston said. “Because 
I worked here in the past, I just 
want so badly to help Texas 
get back to the forefront of 
women’s basketball.” 
Jody Conradt and Texas 
molded her, but Aston has done 
the rest, compiling an impres-
sive resume as the head coach 
of North Texas and Charlotte, 
where she made four straight 
postseason appearances. After 
leading these programs, Aston 
hopes to impart her style for 
success in Austin.
“The tradition and excellence 
that’s expected here comes with 
a lot of responsibility which I’m 
excited for,” Aston said. “As far 
as style, I really love getting up 
and down the floor and pres-
sure man-to-man defense, just 
getting out in transition.”
Change is tough, as any team 
under the reigns of a new chief 
will tell you. However, Aston 
is already pleased with her 
team’s progress.
“You have to make adjust-
ments according to what style 
of players you have, and I think 
everybody has done a good job 
with that,” Aston said. “My re-
sponsibility is just to help them 
transition quickly and I think 
it’ll work.”

On Friday, the Longhorns, 
who were ranked fourth in 
the Big 12 preseason poll, face 
off against St. John’s Univer-
sity in the WPI Tip-Off Clas-
sic to start their 39th season. 
This is the second consecu-
tive season the Longhorns 
have challenged themselves 
immediately out of the gate 
with a season opener against 
a ranked opponent.
In Daytona Beach, Fla., 
where the WPI Tip-Off Clas-
sic is hosted, Texas will face 
the Red Storm for the sec-
ond time in the team’s his-
tory. Its first meeting back in 
1978 ended with a Texas win. 
While in the Sunshine State, 
the team will also face Hofstra 
University on Saturday in its 
first meeting of all time.
With all of the changes and 
multiple key returns for the 
Longhorns, this season looks 
encouraging. After a loss in 
the first round of the NCAA 
tournament last year, this 
young Texas team is prepared 
and enthusiastic to get back 
on the court to prove it can 
do better.
FANTASYcontinues from page 6any indication, the team 
should soar when complete-
ly acclimated to her style of 
play. With a disappointing 
ending to last season, Aston 
is anxious to rewrite the his-
tory books of the program.
“Short term, the goal is to ob-
viously get out of the first round 
of the NCAA tournament and 
then go from there,” Aston said. 
“Long term is to get Texas back 
to the Final Four, and I think it’s 
time for us to step up to the plate 
and start performing better.”
Players’ expectations are 
also high.
“I think we’re not ready 
this year because some of the 
girls are still really young,” ju-
nior guard Chassidy Fussell 
said. “But I think soon, with 
Coach Aston we’ll have a good 
shot at the title.”
Known as a relentless recruit-
er, Aston takes special pride in 
acquiring quality talent. In her 
mind, Texas is the prime place 
for the picking.
“I take a lot of pride in it, and 
I ask a lot from my players so 
the better relationship I have 
with those players in recruiting 
helps in understanding when 
we get on the floor,” Aston said. 
“And the fun thing about it is 
that Texas basketball is the best 
in the country.”
Aston brings an abundance 
of passion as a coach, but as 
a former collegiate player she 
knows the ins and outs from 
both sides.
“As a player you can control 
the game more,” Aston said. “It’s 
very rewarding as a coach, but 
it’s harder to control.”
Playing for a coach who has 
lived the game in two different 
pairs of shoes is a valuable asset 
for a player’s development, and 
that has made the Longhorns’ 
expectations high.
“I was really excited [when 
she got hired],” Fussell said. 
“Expectations are as high as 
they’ve ever been, and we ex-
pect to be one of the top teams 
in the Big 12.”
Because she is held in such 
high regard in the basketball 
world, the real Karen Aston can 
sometimes be lost in transla-
tion. There’s more to her than 
just basketball, however.
“I don’t think many people 
know that I like the opera and 
I like going to the opera,” Aston 
said. “And I really just love after-
noons at home with my dog.”
She’s won before, and judging 
by the early reviews, she’ll win 
again. A decorated leader and 
relentless recruiter, Karen As-
ton seems poised to accomplish 
great things both on and off the 
court in her time in Austin.

of products available. And 
yet, many generations have 
passed, and we still don’t have 
a regional cuisine.”
The port of Ensenada, 40 
miles south of Tijuana, is 
one of the country’s largest 
for mussels, oysters, clams 
and shrimp, as well as a hot-
bed of blue tuna sea farming. 
Baja California is the fourth 
largest producing vegetables 
in Mexico, according to the 
state government.
To come up with the right 
taste, chefs also bring in red 
lobster, manta rays, sea cu-
cumbers and salicornia, a 
succulent that grows in sand 
dunes. They incorporate 
miniature vegetables from 
the fields south of Ensenada, 
olives from the winemak-
ing region of the Guadal-
upe Valley just northeast of 
Ensenada, dates from San 
Ignacio and tomatoes and 
strawberries from the San 
Quintin Valley.
“Many of us were working 
on our own for some time 
but things fell into place for 
us to work together, while 
keeping our individual style,” 
said Marcelo Castro, a leading 
producer of cheese in Real del 
Castillo and great-grandson 
of a Swiss immigrant who 
came to Ensenada in the late 
19th century.
Area chefs conceived the 
movement eight years ago 
when they formed the Baja 
California Chef’s Associa-
tion. It’s been boosted in the 
last three years by the state 
government, which has 
organized and promoted 
food festivals.
Now the 22 Baja Med chefs 
work with the state’s wine and 
beer producers and the veg-
etable growers, fishermen and 
shellfish farmers. Another 
boost came this year after in-
ternational culinary special-
ists started to visit some of 
the restaurants.
“Tijuana is one of the most 
interesting Mexican kitchens 
today. It’s one of the great cit-
ies to eat across North Amer-
ica,” international chef Rick 
Bayless said while taping a 
Tijuana segment for his PBS 
series “One Plate at a Time.”
The mix of people who live 
in the state also accounts for 
the fusion of flavors. Half of 
the 3.5 million there are na-
tives of other states of Mex-
ico, where they mix with 
first- and second-generation 
families from Asia, Europe 
and the U.S.
“Baja Med cuisine is a 
mix of the cultures that all 
came with the intention of 
crossing to the other side, 
but they stayed,” Plascencia 
said. “There were Italian and 
French restaurants estab-
lished here because of Pro-
hibition in the United States, 
and their principle clients 
were North Americans who 
came to have a good time at 
the border.”
That’s translated into local 
demand for products grown 
in the state, said Hector Gon-
zalez, manager of the Ensena-
da-based company Max Sea, 
which is dedicated to Manila 
clam cultivation and Kuma-
moto oysters, since 1999. 
Before, most of Baja Cali-
fornia’s products were being 
exported to the United States 
and Japan.
“What is happening in res-
taurants is a synthesis of all 
this,” Gonzalez said.
Like Martinez, about 
80 wine producers of the 
Ensenada valleys and 20 arti-
san cheese producers in Real 
de Castillo, a town southeast 
of Ensenada, are helping fuel 
the new cuisine after growing 
the products for years.

a reinterpreta-
tion of a dish 
served 50 years

Tijuana, Mexico.
Sapla, who watches up to 
four hours of drama a night 
on weekends for her own 
entertainment, said that 
Korean dramas become 
somewhat addictive. 
“They have a formula 
that connects you emotion-
ally to the characters right 
away,” Sapla said. 
The characters, while 
emotionally relatable, tend 
to fulfill stock roles within 
the dramas.
“Boys Over Flowers,” 
a 2009 series that is one 
of the most consistently 
watched Korean dramas 
online today, is a classic ex-
ample. The show features a 
rich young man, Goo Jun 
Pyo, set to inherit one of 
Korea’s biggest businesses, 
who falls in love with a dry 
cleaner’s daughter, Geum 
Jan Di. As is true with al-
most every Korean drama, 
the male protagonist is cal-
lous, cold, rich and power-
ful while the female lead is 
portrayed as determined to 
a fault, stubborn, moder-
ately annoying but incred-
ibly sweet with a heart of 
gold. Throw in an unfeel-
ing or chronically ill par-
ent and you have the main 
cast of the majority of 
Korean dramas.
American viewers re-
main hooked because while 
the themes are universally 
relatable, the dramas have 
a unique twist because of 
cultural differences.
“I still keep waching 
them because I like watch-
ing the characters fall in 
love and they do really cute 
things in dramas. Their 
devotion to the one they 
love is amazing and it’s not 
something that’s portrayed 
much in other shows or 
movies,” Wing Tuet, a 
chemical engineering se-
nior who has been watch-
ing dramas since middle 
school, said. 
According to Sapla, this 
is one of the main elements 
that draw American view-
ers to the dramas.
The most popular rea-
son for watching Korean 
dramas, however, cited by 
Sapla, Tuet and Omoruyi, 
is that it gives viewers the 
chance to explore another 
culture from the comfort of 
their computer chair.
tle. To promote and help or-
ganize future shows, Gutt-
freund enlisted the help of 
several college friends.
“The ScoreMore concept 
was simple: by the students 
and for the students,” Gutt-
freund said. His first Score-
More show was Afroman, 
the one-hit wonder respon-
sible for marijuana anthem 
“Because I Got High.”
The show resulted in 
Guttfreund becoming a 
booking agent at the now-
defunct club Aces Lounge. 
Guttfreund used the po-
sition to host ScoreMore 
shows and bring in relative-
ly unknown artists at the 
time, including Wiz Khal-
ifa, Travie McCoy, Chiddy 
Bang and Big Sean.
“Booking artists during 
the beginning of ScoreMore 
was a challenge,” Gutt-
freund said. “No credibility 
and no substantial finances 
— why would a booking 
agent want to work with 
some random kid when 
they could easily work with 
Transmission Events or 
C3 Presents?”
But Guttfreund’s perse-
verance paid off. One by 
one, each artist he requested 
made their way to Austin. 
ScoreMore built business 
relationships with these up-
and-coming rappers, which 
inevitably worked in the 
brand’s favor. 
“When we first brought 
Wiz Khalifa out, there were 
130 people in attendance,” 
Guttfreund said. “Now 
look at him. The guy is do-
ing sold-out arena shows 
throughout the world.” Sco-
reMore has Khalifa booked 
for three upcoming perfor-
mances in Dallas, Houston 
and San Antonio.
ScoreMore expand-
ed in 2010 and so did 
Guttfreund responsibilities. 
“Some days were definite-
ly a lot harder than others,” 
Guttfreund said. “Some-
times I would go to class off 
of two hours of sleep.” 
But Guttfreund balanced 
both his studies and Sco-
reMore responsibilities, 
continuing to put on shows 
that catered to the young, 
college demographic.
Guttfreund was not alone 
in promoting ScoreMore’s 
shows. Multiple members 
of the group, including UT 
students Jake Boydston 
and Jake Dworkis, have 
helped with everything 
from promotion to over-
seeing and recruiting new 
student promoters.
“I have learned so much 
since joining ScoreMore in 
2011,” Dworkis said. “From 
managerial skills and effec-
tive promotion to market-
ing strategy, I have helped 
build the ScoreMore brand.” 
Dworkis is currently an 
advertising senior and be-
came a part of ScoreMore 
to gain experience in the 
music industry.
This is a fundamental 
part of ScoreMore’s ap-
peal to students interested 
in pursuing a career in the 
music business. Guttfreund 
offers college students an 
opportunity to create suc-
cess for themselves.
“Not only does Score-
More serve as a voice for 
the students and the music 
they would like to see come 
through Austin, but it gives 
students a hands-on experi-
ence,” Guttfreund said. 
Being part of an orga-
nization that primarily 
caters to hip-hop fans is a 
challenge in itself. Only 
in recent years has the 
demand for live hip-hop 
grown significantly. 
“Once college students 
started to buy into hip-hop, 
the clubs put more of an 
emphasis on playing and 
booking more hip-hop art-
ists,” English senior Haris 
Qureshi said. “You even 
see it in local festivals such 
as South By Southwest and 
Fun Fun Fun Fest.”
Qureshi, who hosts 
monthly hip-hop shows at 
the music venue Mohawk, 
believes that ScoreMore has 
greatly contributed to hip-
hop’s growth in the state.
As for ScoreMore’s future, 
Guttfreund is taking it one 
day at a time. He doesn’t 
want ScoreMore to be the 
next C3 or Transmission. 
He wants to remain grass-
roots and possibly orga-
nize a nationwide tour for 
his supporters through his 
brand. But, most impor-
tantly, he wants to continue 
working with driven and 
creative college students.
“I just want to help stu-
dents build their own net-
work and their own team,” 
Guttfreund said. “So that 
way we can continue to 
change things for years 
to come.”

cooperating with each 
other or ratting the other 
prisoner out and defecting, 
without knowing what the 
other will do. If they both 
cooperate, they are both 
rewarded, whereas if they 
both defect, they are both 
punished. However, if one 
cooperates and the other 
defects, the cooperator is 
punished worse than if they 
both defect, and the defec-
tor is rewarded more than 
he is if they both cooperate. 
In other words, it’s always 
best for the individual to 
defect, but overall better 
for both if they cooperate. 
New research suggests that 
male players raised among 
conflict or violence were 
9.2 percent more likely to 
defect and 4.5 percent more 
likely to retaliate against a 
non-cooperating opponent, 
likely a result of growing up 
in an environment where 
relying on the kindness of 
strangers is a recipe for di-
saster. Surprisingly, howev-
er, this effect wasn’t observ-
able in female players with 
similar backgrounds.

our gazes are drawn to the 
peepers themselves or just

on the other person’s face. 
Alan Kingstone of the Uni-
versity of British Colum-
bia was stumped by this 
question as well as how to 
investigate it, so he asked 
his ninth-grade son, Julian 
Levy, for input. Levy came 
up with a simple and ele-
gant solution: use images of 
monsters from “Dungeons 
and Dragons.” Some of the 
monsters from the popular 
dice-rolling game are hu-
man-like, with eyes in the 
middle of their faces, but 
many are not. By catego-
rizing the creatures along 
these lines and tracking the 
eye movements of subjects 
confronted with them, 
Kingstone and Levy deter-
mined that people start by 
looking at the middle of 
faces then move quickly to 
the eyes, which they stay 
focused on.

“If you work hard enough 
and are willing to run with 
your vision and share it 
with like-minded indi-
viduals, I believe you can 
be successful.” 
Twenty-three-year-old 
Sascha Stone Guttfreund 
speaks from experience. 
An alumnus who majored 
in corporate communica-
tions, Guttfreund created 
grassroots music promo-
tion network ScoreMore 
while handling an 18-hour 
course schedule.
Since its inception in May 
2009, the ScoreMore brand 
has helped make Texas a 
touring destination for 
hip-hop performers. It has 
brought Mac Miller, J. Cole, 
Wale and Kendrick Lamar 
to many of Texas’ cities.
However, before Score-
More became synonymous 
with sold-out hip-hop 
shows, it was a hobby. In 
2008 Guttfreund booked 
his first sold-out show with 
hip-hop artist Shwayze. 
After seeing the success 
of Schwayze’s show, Gutt-
freund created ScoreMore 
the following year with 
$1500 saved from waiting 
tables at Texas Land & Cat-
When the Korean song 
“Gangnam Style” debuted 
this July with the memo-
rable chorus “Hey, Sexy 
Lady!” it became a world-
wide phenomenon amass-
ing more than 668 million 
views on YouTube. The 
viral video of the Korean 
singer Psy comically danc-
ing to the song quickly 
inspired countless Ameri-
can YouTube parodies 
and remakes.
“Gangnam Style” is just 
the most recent example, 
however, of the increas-
ing popularity of Ko-
rean pop culture in the 
United States.
Korean pop music, or K-
pop, has gained an increas-
ing fan base among Ameri-
cans who are charmed by 
the bubble-gum sweetness 
of girl groups like Girls’ 
Generation and enamored 
with the synchronized 
dance moves of bands such 
as Super Junior. 
Korean dramas, televi-
sion shows similar to prime 
time soap operas, have 
also gained considerable 
popularity in the U.S. Dra-
maFever, a North American 
website that is one of the 
largest providers of piracy-
free Korean dramas in the 
U.S., has over 3 million 
monthly viewers, 85 per-
cent of whom are not Asian, 
said DramaFever’s vice 
president of communica-
tions and public relations, 
Rosally Sapla. 
While Korean dramas 
still occupy a niche market 
in America, Sapla said that 
the demand for Korean 
dramas is steadily growing. 
“Our audience has doubled 
every six months since we 
started in 2009,” Sapla said. 
Because the majority of 
Korean dramas feature ac-
tors or K-pop stars in their 
teens or 20s, the genre 
tends to attract a young 
adult viewership.
“We have a strong repre-
sentation of people under 
25, who appear to be, be-
cause of age and income, in 
school,” Sapla said.
Junior Isoken Omoruyi 
is one of the many college 
students who are avid fans 
of the genre. Omoruyi, who 
estimates he has watched 
roughly 100 different dra-
mas, said he enjoys watch-
ing Korean dramas because 
they let him learn more 
about Asian culture and the 
story lines are enthralling.
“I continue watching 
dramas because the cul-
ture of dramas continues 
to change,” Omoruyi said. 
“Plus they take me on an 
emotional roller coaster 
ride, which I really like.” 
Centered on universal 
themes such as the quest 
for love and friendship 
and ambition for fame, 
Korean dramas tend to 
follow a set formula that 
differs from typical Ameri-
can television. Whereas 
prime time American TV

relative conclusion as the

Korean dramas end at the 
moment of greatest con-

complete suspense. This

well online because view-

next episode to be granted 
resolution to the conflict, 
leading to hours on end of 
drama watching.

Comedy Showcase9:00 Thursday Nov. 8Split-brain patients — 
those who have had the 
connection between the 
hemispheres of their brains 
severed to prevent seizures 
— act normally except in 
specially designed experi-
ments, which reveal two 
separate brains inhabiting 
the same skull: depend-
ing on how a question is 
posed, the patients give 
completely different an-
swers. Fifty years after he 
first studied these patients, 
Michael Gazzaniga of the 
University of California, 
Santa Barbara has pub-
lished a new study on the 
same phenomenon, albeit 
in non-split-brain subjects. 
For the experiment, he 
flashed real and fake words 
to either the left or right 
visual fields of his subjects 
and found that the latter 
resulted in more correct 
identifications (as the right 
visual field corresponds 
to the left, language-pro-
cessing, hemisphere of the 
brain). While doing this, 
Gazzaniga and his research 
assistants also employed 
magnetoencephalography, 
a technique for monitoring 
subjects’ brains with a time 
resolution of 512 frames 
per second — much fast-
er than a functional MRI 
(half a frame per second) 
or even a Hollywood movie 
(24 frames per second). 
This technique, along with 
the specific experiment, 
should lend insight into 
how the two hemispheres 
of the brain communicate 
with each other.
Einstein pwnedMIT’s Game Lab has re-
leased a free open-source 
first-person 3-D comput-
er game titled “A Slower 
Speed of Light,” which 
models the effects of rela-
tivity on a level that play-
ers can intuitively under-
stand. As players gather 
more orbs, the speed of 
light slows down, resulting 
in Einsteinian effects cor-
responding to the players’ 
movements, including red- 
and blue-shifted colors, 
perception of time chang-
ing relative to the outside 
world and the warping of 
space. While the game is 
unlikely to compete with 
“Halo 4,” it provides an 
interactive world in which 
players can see relativity 
in play, brought to life in a 
way that can’t be done us-
ing formulas on a black-
board. Additionally, the 
programmers have made 
the game’s engine open 
source, allowing others to 
potentially develop more 
action-packed and excit-
ing games that take place 
in this relativistic environ-
ment. “A Slower Speed of 
Light” is available now for 
free to download and play 
on Windows- and Mac-
based systems.

Life & Arts10Thursday, November 8, 2012TIJUANA, Mexico — Un-
til recently, Baja California’s 
culinary contribution to the 
world amounted to the Cae-
sar salad, a dish hardly as-
sociated with Mexican food. 
Beyond that, this long, thin 
peninsula was known more 
for its Chinese food and 
pizza thanks to the thou-
sands of migrants from all 
over the world who began 
to settle the Mexican state 
south of California in the 
19th century.
Now a group of chefs 
wants to change that, work-
ing to create a unique cui-
sine largely based on fresh 
seafood caught in the seas 
flanking Baja and the pro-
duce from its fertile valley. 
The new culinary craze, 
known as Baja Med, is a fu-
sion of Mexican food with 
influences from the Medi-
terranean and Asia.
The movement has re-
sulted in dozens of restau-
rants that are helping to pull 
a new kind of tourist to the 
beleaguered border city — 
one who enjoys great food 
and art rather than a brothel 
and a cheap drunk. People 
attending conventions in 
San Diego think of crossing 
the border for dinner in Ti-
juana, said Javier Plascenc-
ia, the chef of Mision 19, 
whose quest to put his city 
on the culinary map was 
the subject of a New Yorker 
magazine profile earlier 
this year.
Baja Med mixes uniquely 
Mexican ingredients such as 
chicharron and cotija cheese 
with lemon grass and olive 
oil. Signature dishes include 
tempura fish tacos and deep 
sea shrimp served with fried 
marlin, baby farm tomatoes, 
scallions and a sauce made 
with local cheeses.
“What Baja Med pro-
poses is for the ingredient 
to be the main actor in the 
kitchen,” said Miguel Angel 
Guerrero, chef of La Que-
rencia, a Tijuana restaurant 
serving such dishes as beet 
carpaccio with blue cheese 
and mint vinaigrette. “Geo-

leged because throughout
