The campus post office, lo- cated in the West Mall Office Building, will permanently close its doors to all custom- ers on or before Feb. 28. The post office, which houses 400 individual P.O. boxes, has already started its search for relocation space outside the University. The United States Postal Service’s contract was ini- tially set to expire Sept. 1 of this year but was granted a five-month extension by the University. “After being granted a contract extension from the University through February, we have ultimately decided to vacate our current cam- pus office and seek reloca- tion elsewhere,” USPS Texas spokesman Sam Bolen said. The vacancy would make the branch at 111 E. 17th St. the nearest USPS location to the University. Private mail delivery com- panies operate mailing and shipping centers near cam- pus. FedEx has a location at 2711 Guadalupe St. near Tor- chy’s Tacos, and UPS has one at 2002 Guadalupe St. near Emo’s Kitchen. “I had no idea the post of- fice was closing,” biochemistry junior Marissa Medina said. “I work as [a resident assistant] in the Kinsolving dormitory and normally direct people to the post office whenever they want to send packages.” Geology junior Gabrielle Ramirez was also unaware of the post office’s impend- ing closure. “This is really sad,” Ramirez said. “Having a post office on campus is so con- venient, and I go there reli- giously when I have to mail off scholarship or internship applications. I live in River- side and currently have no idea where the next nearest post office is.” University officials said they will soon release a state- ment regarding the closure.

Some of his clients include Stephen Spielberg and Conan O’Brien. Bill Collings knows ev- erything there is to know about guitars — but he can- not play one. Collings is the man behind Collings Guitars, an interna- tionally renowned brand of acoustic and electric guitars, mandolins and ukuleles built in a factory just outside of Austin on Highway 290. In- side, a slow-moving, human- powered assembly line builds only 15 instruments per day. Each of these instruments is distributed to dealers around the world and then sold for an average of $5,000 a piece. Some of these expensive instruments are sold to fa- mous guitarists including Marcus Mumford, Robert Plant and Pete Townshend. Thousands of other names aren’t recognizable now, but they could be in the future. It would not be the first time a musician became famous playing a Collings guitar.

The program is a web- site that builds cyber in- frastructure to support plant and animal science research. Developed in partnership with the Tex- as Advanced Computing Center at UT, it received this five-year grant to con- tinue the project, which started in 2008. iPlant works to provide tools for plant scientists, including ways to store data, create their own work environment for public use and share large data sets in one space. “We make computation and storage available to researchers,” iPlant deputy director Dan Stanzione said. “We also build some of the user-facing tools like web-based environ- ments to make it easier for those doing things like By Nicole Cobler@nicolecoblerAn exhibition held Satur- day examined the work of John S. Chase, the first Afri- can-American enrolled at UT and the first licensed to prac- tice architecture in Texas. Chase recently passed away on March 29 at the age of 87. Fred McGhee, an adjunct as- sociate anthropology professor at Austin Community College, said Chase strove to provide the African-American community with a platform to end racism. The buildings he was commis- sioned to design ranged from schools and churches early in his career to convention centers and other public build- ings for various governmental agencies after Jim Crow laws were repealed. McGhee said Chase’s work gave the civil rights movement a base of op- erations across Texas. After the repeal of Jim Crow laws, Chase’s public commissions in Houston include the renovation of the Astrodome, the George R.

McGhee read from Chase’s master’s thesis, which focused on progressive archi- tecture in churches. “Texas officials during Jim Crow were very keen on pre- serving white supremacy,” McGhee said. “The church was a refuge from apartheid America.” McGhee said Chase was unable to find work in any firms owned and operated by white architects in Austin, so he started his own. To receive commissions, he had to be direct with his clients. “He would go to black churches with his master’s thesis, and explain his vision to the minister,” McGhee said. “In most cases, the an- swer was ‘yes.’” McGhee said the modern- ist vision appealed to the church ministry because it focused on unity. “[Modern] design is more than form-making. It is a holistic commitment to how space is used by collec- tives, not just individuals,” McGhee said. Rick Black, board mem- ber of Austin architec- ture organization Mid Tex Mod, which sponsored the event held at the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center, said the trend toward making designs more open and interconnect- ed is distinctly modern. “Combining the kitchen, living and dining area is a 20th century development,” Black said. “It’s definitely a different way of living — less formal. It brings people together.” Stephen Fox, architectural historian at Rice University, said architecture shapes human interaction and is the most ba- sic level of social engineering, a functional form of art. The modernist style is distinctly ori- ented towards achieving a bet- ter tomorrow, he said. Fox said Chase’s legacy is one of success against im- probable odds. “Chase mobilized modern architecture as a democratic process, and his buildings em- braced the future that was de- termined to be better than the past and the present,” Fox said. Joe Capraro / Daily Texan StaffWorkers build scaffolding behind the-turn six grandstand at Circuit of the Americas on Friday morning. FRAMES featured photo genomics research.” Specific tools provided by the iPlant program in- clude DNA Subway, a way for researchers to predict and annotate genes, and the iPlant Tree of Life, which allows for a way to navigate easily through genomics and molecular evolution. The renewed grant in- creases the National Sci- ence Foundation’s invest- ment in the project to $100 million to advance researchers’ understanding of biology. It also allows iPlant to expand its scope to scientists who study crops and livestock and to continue reaching those from all levels of expertise. iPlant is based at the University of Arizona and partners with the Texas Ad- vanced Computing Center at UT, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. “In iPlant, we’re trying to do all the other things that you need to do just between putting up a supercomputer and getting productive com- putational science done,” Stanzione said. Many facilities, including the UT Genomic Sequenc- ing and Analysis Facility, use iPlant for their computa- tional needs. The facility’s director, Scott Hunicke-Smith, said his center has used the program for more than a year. “It’s a huge benefit to UT just to have that capability here,” Hunicke-Smith said. Researchers can create free iPlant accounts to use tools such as mapping the links between genotypes and phenotypes, under- standing phylogenetic relationships between all plant life and even using their own data to run tests on it. Biology junior Eric Daw- son is the only student at Texas Advanced Comput- ing Center who works on iPlant: Benchmarking. Dawson works on install- ing and optimizing the ap- plications to make them more accessible to users. He said the grant adds to the University’s research capabilities. “It puts the whole world of plant biology at the fingertips of anyone who wants to use it,” Dawson said.

The Next Big Thingis at UT Austin. The two front-runners in the race for Texas gover- nor have both announced their candidacies, and they share one common strategy: Painting the other as a po- litical extremist. Republican Greg Abbott says Democrat Wendy Davis will push an extreme liberal agenda. Davis counters that Abbott and his tea party al- lies will bring Washington- style partisanship and aus- terity to Texas. If the first day of the Davis’ campaign is any example, there will be plenty of mudslinging in the weeks and months ahead. One person’s politi- cal extremist, of course, is another’s defender of American values. That is certainly the case with the core political support- ers that both Davis, a Fort Worth state senator, and Abbott, the Texas attorney general, need to turn out on election day. But in a high-turnout election, the middle ground decides the race, presenting both candidates the challenge of motivating their base while not alienating per- suadable voters. The effective way to do that, if sometimes distasteful, is to attack your opponent. “State leaders in power keep forcing people to op- posite corners to prepare for a fight instead of coming together to get things done,” Davis said. “Texans deserve better than failed leaders who dole out favors to friends and cronies behind closed doors. Texas has waited too long for a governor who knows that quid pro quo shouldn’t be the status quo.” Hours before Davis even had a chance to speak those words, Abbott was calling her “an extremist” who will impose “the kind of spending and regulation that’s reckless for government.” The next day, Abbott’s campaign used Davis’ candi- dacy to raise money. “Senator Wendy Davis has entered the ring, fight- ing for late-term abortion on demand,” the text read. “The Wendy Davis Agenda will bring California values to our state if we don’t stop her.” Abortion rights will be a key issue in the campaign. Her filibuster of a law that limits when, where and how a woman may ob- tain an abortion is what brought Davis to statewide and national attention. She remains opposed to the provision that would ban abortions after 20 weeks, a stage that experts do not define as late term. Groups that support abortion rights, including Planned Parenthood, were quick to endorse Davis, even if she did not discuss women’s health care in her announcement speech. Ab- bott has worked to define himself as the protector of the Texas economy and the Republican conservatism that has dominated state politics for 20 years.

UT Horn Day is a free event open to middle school and high school students, parents and teachers. They can receive assistance from associate horn professor Patrick Hughes and Gerry Wood, adjunct horn in- structor at the UT-Arling- ton with their regional try- out pieces. Students could also try out different horns and play in the final concert. The event was put on by the Horn Studio, led by Hughes and comprised of 20 undergraduate and graduate horn students and brought in more than 50 middle school and high school stu- dents combined. Hughes started the event three years ago and has seen growing participation since it began. “I feel like it’s a service to the community to get every- one connected,” Hughes said. During the event, young French horn players prac- tice their tryout music in this outreach opportunity and can test different horns, mouthpieces, mutes and cases. Various venders at- tended the event to repair instruments. Middle school and high school students split up to practice individual songs but came together later to rehearse a song to perform alongside the UT Horn Choir. Music performance graduate Rose Valby, the studio’s sole assistant who organized the event, helped middle school students and conducted a piece. Wood, who plays with the horn group Four Horn- smen of the Apocalypse, switched off with Hughes to help the middle school and high school group to offer them more insight on the music. This was the event’s first year to have another clinician for students. Kaitlin Methven, a fresh- man at Westwood High School, said she received assistance on different horn fingerings and a piece for a regional competition. “It definitely helps hear- ing what they’re supposed to sound like,” Methven said. The LongHORN choir, which is part of the Horn Studio, played for the students multiple times throughout the day. The choir comprises non-music and music majors and has about 20 members. Amber Hendrix, music and human learning graduate stu- dent, plays in the horn choir and conducted a piece for the middle school students. “It’s good to work with professors on the all-region music so you can get differ- ent ideas,” Hendrix said. “I’m a big fan of working with different people on the same music so you can get differ- ent feedback and it helps you grow as a musician.” Event hooks up aspiring hornsHelen Fernandez / Daily Texan StaffGerry Wood, featured guest of UT Horn Day, conducts a musical performance at the Bates Recital Hall.

Texas gubernatorial front-runners face off By Nicole Cobler@nicolecobler The United States is largely monolingual. In fact, only about 15-20 percent of Ameri- cans consider themselves bilingual, com- pared to 56 percent of Europeans surveyed in 2006 by the European Commission. This difference is problematic for a number of reasons, especially on the 40 Acres, where we like to think that “what starts here, changes the world.” Arabic professor Mahmoud Al-Batal says that the inability to speak a foreign language makes it difficult for Americans to compete globally on a linguistic and cultural level. Some critics of the United States’ monolin- gual nature have focused on problems in university-level language courses that result in students failing to reach higher levels of proficiency in a foreign language. Many of us have heard of the infamous quote, “English was good enough for Jesus Christ, and it’s good enough for the chil- dren of Texas.” We have also laughed at or lamented the ignorance that often colors de- bates of programs and legislation for foreign language education, in which the mandate to learn a second language is often portrayed as a threat that needs to be quelled. It wasn’t always like this, however. The United States used to take a much friendlier view toward bilingualism. In the 19th cen- tury, immigrant communities maintained — and even published in — their native languages, and educational policies were generally tolerant of this linguistic diversity. However, ideologies began to change in the 1880s, with a huge influx of non-English- speaking immigrants and developing reac- tionary nationalist movements. Eventually, this change in ideology led to a movement of “Americanization,” which adopted a push for English as a linguistic identifier of the “American.” As World War I raged, English monolingualism became synonymous with support for the U.S. Eventually, legislation removed foreign language instruction from most elementary schools. This lack of foreign language education for children persists to this day, despite much research suggesting that bilingualism has a significant positive effect on children’s lin- guistic, cognitive and educational develop- ment. The benefits of bilingualism are not just cognitive: Hebrew professor Adi Raz said that knowledge of a foreign language provides huge cultural benefits. “We don’t just teach language but also cul- ture. By doing so we emphasize the impor- tance of understanding the ‘other,’” Raz said. Knowledge of a foreign language also helps with employment. “A person who speaks an- other language is perceived as more intelligent, smarter and a better student,” Al-Batal said. Nevertheless, as English has become the global language for commerce and science, many Americans feel that learning a second language is not necessary. We see this here on the 40 Acres: Students complain that foreign language classes are too hard and too time- consuming. This view, coupled with a wholly monolingual environment, pervades not only adults’ outlook on foreign language learning, but also that of children. Even children that are exposed to foreign languages in school are less likely to be motivated to learn them. In the last decade, there has been a growth in the number of dual language programs in the United States. These programs, in gen- eral, are instructed in two languages with a goal of bilingualism and biliteracy. These programs are highly successful for young children because they involve immersion in a second language environment on a daily basis. However, these programs tend to be expensive and exclusive, meaning that not all parents will have access to them. Although there may be no quick fix for the poor motivation and lack of interest in foreign language courses on campus, we are the future leaders, legislators and teachers who can make a difference in the way lan- guage is taught in the United States. “We are blessed with such diverse com- munities here in the United States, and Eng- lish is common among all of us, but we need to create other [linguistic] links, not just to American citizens, but also to other citizens of the global village,” Al-Batal said. Policies and programs for foreign lan- guage education need to change, as do social expectations for what we get out of our edu- cations. If what starts here really does change the world, our students should care about whether they can speak up and be under- stood beyond English-speaking countries.

Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who announced her campaign for governor last Thursday, would introduce the popular band Kings of Leon at the Austin City Limits Festival that night, festivalgoers quickly came up with excuses to see the band, if only to answer the question of what a gubernatorial candidate would have to say at a rock concert. Sadly, Davis was a no-show (a spokesperson later clarified that Davis’ appearance at the concert was only “tentative”), depriving ACL-goers of hearing Wendy speak and Texans across the state from watching the attack ads that would have made use of Davis campaigning at a music festival known for its decidedly laid-back vibe. HORNS DOWN: ALLAN RITTER LEAVING THE LEGE State Rep. Allan Ritter, R-Nederland, announced on Friday that he will retire from the Texas Legislature after finishing his current term at the end of next year. While we don’t agree with all of the Democrat-turned-Republi- can Ritter’s policies, we admired his leadership last ses- sion as chairman of the House Natural Resources Com- mittee in seeking to pass the State Water Implementation Fund. We’ll remember him best for his response to an oil and gas industry lobbyist’s request to provide drilling companies who recycled water with tax breaks: “It kinda sounds familiar, the first thing you do is come up and ask for tax incentives,” Ritter said in a Natural Resources Committee meeting last Febru- ary. “Boy, I’ve heard that a few times. Good luck with that, sir.” We thank Ritter for his 15 years of service to the state of Texas and wish him luck in his future endeavors. HORNS UP: MORE WOMEN ENROLLED IN ENGINEERING AT UTFor the first time in its history, 29 percent of the Cockrell School of Engineering’s freshman class is fe- male. The number, though certainly far from the 50/50 split one would ideally see, is indicative of a step in the right direction for the college. Entrepreneurship doesn’t need to be regulated by UTBy Nick Spiller Daily Texan Columnist @Nick_SpillerHow should the University promote en- trepreneurship to the student body? This question was raised two weeks ago in a col- umn that ran in this newspaper titled “En- trepreneurship is good, but responsible en- trepreneurship is better.” The article, by Daily Texan columnist Sid Sridhar, argued that the University “must ensure that our entrepreneurs make the public good the goal of their every project.” The public good is a noble cause. But the University ensuring that all startups work for the public good might lead to regula- tions being made by administrators who aren’t entrepreneurs themselves. These ad- ministrators, consequently, may fail to see the potential in many viable companies. We need a culture on campus where the entre- preneurs, not University administrators, are responsible for ensuring the good intentions of their ventures. Startups grow through the actualization of entrepreneurs’ goals. As entrepreneurs grow their ventures, they create jobs and generate wealth. That wealth is often used for philanthropy, or to build public facilities such as the Dell Medical School or the Gates Computer Science Complex. The end goal for promoting entrepreneurship through a university, then, is to create more wealth for more people in the community. Maybe, in- stead of ensuring that each startup to come out of UT has been rubber-stamped as “good for society” before it even gets a chance to be successful, we should encourage consumers to make socially conscious purchases, which would in turn empower socially-conscious startups to succeed. Entrepreneurs are most successful when allowed to compete in free markets without artificially high barriers to entry. And in the free market, consumers — not the entre- preneurs themselves — decide who wins. When we start developing policies to ensure the benevolence of our entrepreneurs, we impede this context of freedom, and we un- dermine the role of consumers in the mar- ketplace. We start doing both entrepreneurs’ and consumers’ jobs for them. In no way am I discounting the value of social entrepreneurship. New ventures aim- ing to solve global problems are great. Also, I am in no way saying that starting a company without thinking about the societal impact of your product is a good idea; socially ir- responsible ventures will gain little traction, anyway. What the University should ultimately ensure is diversity in the entrepreneurial op- portunities on campus. We need engineer- ing entrepreneurs, liberal arts entrepreneurs, business entrepreneurs and music entrepre- neurs. Students in every college should have and understand the option to become an en- trepreneur. The University should encour- age colleges to expose their students to the entrepreneurial 40 Acres, not just to usher them into corporate jobs. Spiller is a rhetoric and writing senior from Grand Blanc, Mich. John Massingill/ Daily Texan StaffFor students frustrated with the political gridlock occurring at the federal level, the next month may offer a bit of relief from all the political disenchantment, at least as it relates to local politics. That’s because, on Oct. 21, early voting will open for the Nov. 5 election, the ballot for which boasts a number of issues important to students and Texas as a whole. These include an affordable housing bond for Austin residents and a mechanism to fund a water plan for all of Texas. In the weeks to come, this newspaper and other news outlets will be discussing the pros and cons of the various ballot measures, and we predict that the debate will be at least a tad bit more enjoyable than the one currently occurring in Washington — mainly because Texans have a real chance to make a produc- tive difference at the polls come Nov. 5. However, for that to happen, students must understand the full range of issues on the ballot — and, just as importantly, they must register to vote in Travis County. Though the last day to do so is Monday, the Travis County Voter Registrar’s office has made it possible for students to register until the last minute. On Monday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., students can register to vote, update their voter registration and obtain election identification certificates from the Travis County Clerk’s office in the Flawn Academic Center. If you are unsure about whether or not you are registered to vote in Travis County, you can check your voter registration at vo- tetravis.com. Such efforts to engage the student elec- torate are crucial in a college environment, where there are a number of obstacles keep- ing students from casting their ballot. These obstacles include having registered to vote in their hometown instead of Travis Coun- ty, lacking the photo ID necessary to cast a vote or being unaware of the issues being voted on. The last one is particularly pertinent in the case of the Nov. 5 election, when the ballot will contain a mish-mash of statewide and local issues, such as the aforementioned Af- fordable Housing Bond authorization for the city of Austin. Some students may be further perplexed when they realize that, due to Rep. Mark Strama leaving his post as the state legislator from District 50, which encompasses parts of Pflugerville and North Austin, they may be called upon to vote on a new state repre- sentative as well. So what’s a confused student to do? Start by recognizing that these issues, di- verse though they may be, are incredibly important. The Affordable Housing Bond, should it pass, could be the policy that makes it pos- sible for you to afford living in Austin post- graduation. The vote on constitutional amendment SJR1, which would take money from the state’s Rainy Day Fund to pay for new wa- ter projects in the state, confronts the water shortages the state has experienced after years of severe drought. The issues are significant, so study up; The Daily Texan and other local news sources will be reporting frequently on these issues leading up the election. After that, the dif- ficult part — registering to vote by Monday and showing up at the polls — should seem almost easy.

The program was cre- ated in 2001 in partnership with UT-Pan American to inspire students of the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas to pursue a phar- maceutical career and to train pharmacists who un- derstand the culture of the Hispanic community. The program was chosen out of 165 other applicants from 22 states, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. “We’re just so excited for the program,” said Lydia Aguilera , assistant dean of pharmacy at UT-PA. “It is a pretty amazing accomplish- ment and also very hum- bling. It’s confirmation that we’re doing what we need to be doing.” Students in the program spend two years at UT-PA to complete their pre-phar- macy work and then trans- fer to UT-Austin for their first two years of pharmacy school. Aguilera said stu- dents spend the third and fourth years of their studies in the Rio Grande Valley as they get real-world experi- ence with internships and other opportunities. “This program is the true spirit of collaboration and camaraderie between the two schools,” she said. “I’m very excited for the future.” Aguilera said that with the honor comes a $5,000 award, which she said she will use for research for the students. “It’s nice having that money to start with this year,” she said. “A couple years ago, 80 percent of our budgets were cut, and it became a real challenge to maintain the program.” Aguilera said the budget was cut in 2009 in response to the recession. She said the program’s funding is still tight, but she hopes this na- tional recognition will open new doors. Lynn Crismon, dean of UT’s College of Pharmacy, said the program has still been successful despite fi- nancial challenges. “Our program has an 80 percent retention rate, which means that a major- ity of the students stay in the Rio Grande Valley area, which is pretty impressive,” Crismon said. Pharmacy senior Bianca Perez said she is happy that the program is fi- nally getting the recogni- tion it deserves. Perez said this program ensures that two-thirds of her training will be in her home region, the Rio Grande Valley, where she said she wants to stay to help under-served communities. “The Cooperative Phar- macy Program gave me the chance to attend one of the highest ranked college[s] of pharmacy,” Perez said. “I know I am receiving the best education to prepare me for my future career. I hope that I can continue to be an example of the pro- gram’s success.” Perez said that after she was admitted to the pro- gram, she met pharmacists and pharmacy students who helped her get into pharmacy school. “Dr. Aguilera, the direc- tor of the program, helped me get through a really dif- ficult time in my life, where not even family could help me, and for that I am eter- nally grateful,” Perez said. “The staff in this program really do care about you and are committed to ensuring your success.” Community leaders and stakeholders discussed how Austin should address climate change and how its effects will influence vari- ous social groups differ- ently at a symposium held Friday at the LBJ School of Public Affairs. Cathy Stephens, planning and environment program manager for the Capital Area Metropolitan Plan- ning Organization, spoke at the event and voiced her concern about Austin’s ris- ing population. “One thing we really need to keep aware of as an over- arching concern is our rate of growth,” Stephens said. “Right now, our population is around 1.98 million, and our projection for 2035 is around 3.2 million.” Stephens said the plan- ning organization for which she works studies how cli- mate change can affect re- gional transportation. She cited a study conducted in Mobile, Ala., that identified several weather hazards can contribute to and create other dangers. “High wind speeds can be dangerous to trucks — a severe drought can lead to wildfires like it did in Bastrop in 2011,” she said. “Also, 40 consecutive days over 100 degrees can impact the water infrastructure.” Austin recorded its 40th day in triple-digit heat in early September. Stefan Wray, public affairs graduate student who helped organize the symposium, focused his presentation on citizens of Austin and their relative extreme-heat vulner- ability. Wray said vulnerabil- ity is a result of three factors: Exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. “In my study, I considered age and people living below the poverty line as good indicators for sensitivity,” he said. For his research, Wray said he used data from August 2011 because of the extreme heat experienced during that month. He said he compiled data from NASA to identify certain areas that are more susceptible to experiencing adverse effects of extreme weather. Wray said he identified two areas in east Austin characterized by a high con- centration of people over the age of 65 or living below the poverty line. He said these groups are more suscep- tible to the effects of climate change because of a lack of resources. In her presentation, Adele Houghton, president of Bi- ositu, an organization that promotes environmental sustainability, focused on the public health impacts of extreme weather in Austin. Houghton said it is impor- tant to focus on how climate change affects citizens’ health and ability to endure extreme weather events. “From a public health per- spective, when we’re looking at vulnerability, it’s not enough to just look at the vulnerability of the built en- vironment,” Houghton said. NEWSMonday, October 7, 20135CAMPUSEric Park / Daily Texan StaffTom “Smitty” Smith, an environmental conservationist, spoke to the attendees of the Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategies symposium on Friday afternoon. By Reanna Zuniga@ReannaSiouxAustin climate changes discussed at symposiumCAMPUSPharmacy program awarded for diversityCAMPUSTalk details historic climate changesHumans have been alter- ing the environment and unknowingly documenting changes to the landscape since the beginning of our existence, according to anthropology professor Arlene Rosen. Rosen’s work, presented during a lecture Friday, ex- amined the relationships be- tween the Chinese people and regional landscapes from the middle to late Holocene pe- riod — spanning from 6,000 to 3,000 B.C. — by infusing elements of both anthropol- ogy and archaeology. Working around the Yiluo River valley and Qufu — a city in southwestern China that was the home of Chinese philosopher Confucius — Rosen and her team probed the spread of rice and millet cultivations. Seemingly minute ac- tions may leave a trail of consequences, she said. “The minute you cut down a tree, you are not only reducing the veg- etation,” Rosen said. “You’re also opening the landscape for soil erosion. You’re making the water table drop because there are no lon- ger roots there to suck in the water that falls from the rain.” Even small human ac- tions are documented in the research, Rosen said, but preserving a complete re- cord of changes in the land- scape is unrealistic. She said her work is not typically considered archae- ology because it focuses on what is underground rather than on the surface. “I was looking at whole, buried landscapes, [and] that isn’t normally considered ar- chaeology, so you can’t halt construction and say, ‘oh, there was an ancient river under there, maybe an irriga- tion canal, so you can’t build a shopping mall here,’” she said. Rosen, who specializes in the study of ancient civiliza- tions through archaeology, said she believes her work is relevant today. “You hear about [climate change] on the news all the time,” Rosen said. “What are we going to do? It’s like we’re alone in the world, but that’s not right. Many civilizations have dealt with climate change and learned to adapt to it.” Geography senior William Crites-Krumm said he at- tended the lecture because it involved his interests in China, geography and photography. “I’m interested in geogra- phy because of photography,” Crites-Krumm said. “My goal is to do something related to landscape photography, so this was a good background of information to have that I can apply later on.” The talk was sponsored by the department of geog- raphy and the environment. Geography professor Wil- liam Doolittle said the series is aimed towards gradu- ate students who want to explore academic subjects related to environmental transformations around the world. Doolittle said the lec- ture series exposes graduate students to faculty in their areas of study. “I like to bring in people who are reasonably close, other scholars on the faculty in different departments or [from] nearby universities to expose them to our graduate students,” Doolittle said. 6 SPTSutrecsports.orgENTER NOWINTRAMURAL GOLF CLASSICWINNINGSTARTS HERE6CHRIS HUMMER, SPORTS EDITOR / @texansportsMonday, October 7, 2013SIDELINENFLMLBCOWBOYS PIRATES CARDINALS BRAVESDODGERS TEXANS BRONCOS49ERSToo amped up for this #RedRiverRivalryAlex De La Torre@ADLT36 BOW(or bow seat) Rower directly at the front of the boat, often keeping an eye on the water behind him or her to avoid accidents.

ROWINGThe air is humid and the morning is early, but the team could not be more excited about getting on the water to kick off its fall season. It even smells like rowing season as members of the team assemble in the boathouse, carrying their boats off the water. After four consecutive years holding the confer- ence crown, Texas fell short of a Big 12 title last year — and hope to change things up. Despite the tough work- out she just emerged from, Abbey Wilkowski, senior from Cypress, Texas, and , smiles welcomingly as she settles down, stretching out and wincing as she rubs her sore legs. “Rowing is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, both mentally and physically,” Wilkowski said. “It’s a very love/ hate relationship most of the time.” Wilkowski began row- ing as a freshman in college after being “hustled” by the tryout tables around cam- pus. Once her novice eligi- bility was completed, she moved forward to the var- sity squad. “I remember going into my sophomore year when we did our first 6K erg tests (rowing machine test),” Wilkowski said. “It was one of the most stressful things I’ve ever had to go through.” At the beginning of each season the team kicks off the year with their annual 6K workouts. The locker room is packed with seven or more girls and a coxswain to coach everyone through the workout. This is the intro- duction to every season and helps judge how well the team trained over the sum- mer. Instead of the usual playlist, the locker room is silent, with the exception of the coaching staff chatting behind the team and drink- ing coffee. “The experience is nau- seating and the coffee smell doesn’t exactly help,” Wilkowski said. “After that, so many things in my life I would anticipate to be hard don’t even come close to that experience.” By Sam Jackson@sammariejacksonWilkowski reminisces, leadsROWING page 7Abbey WilkowskiSeniorRowing opens up season with race in OklahomaThe Longhorns travelled to Oklahoma City this week- end to participate in the Head of the Oklahoma.

Rowing developed her sense of team value and hard work. “Rowing has not only taught me how to be a part of a team but also how to work hard individually,” Wilkows- ki said. “I’ve become very self motivated. I have two jobs: rowing workout every day and school.” Wilkowski gained the respect of her teammates and coaches through her dedication. Wilkowski serves in the stroke posi- tion, which is the boat’s tempo setter, a naturally leadership role. “I moved up to varsity from the novice squad in the middle of the season last year, and it was a really difficult transition to switch teams,” sophomore coxswain Katie Betsill said. “Abbey kind of took me un- der my wing and helped me through everything.” After taking some time off after the spring sea- son, Wilkowski resumed work through the summer and returned immediately to the boathouse for op- tional workouts in early September. “I’m excited for the season ahead. We’ve worked hard and will continue to push ourselves,” head coach Carie Graves said. “They need to continue to learn to harness that power and collectively be fierce.” SPORTSMonday, October 7, 20137Behind a match-high 15 kills by junior outside hitter Haley Eckerman, the No. 4 Longhorns swept the LSU Tigers 3-0 (25-12, 25-18, 25- 17) in Baton Rouge on Satur- day afternoon. Despite big wins in all three sets, they weren’t all easy. In the first game, Texas (10-2, 3-0 Big 12) conceded three-straight points to LSU (10-3, 0-1 SEC) to open the match. But the Long- horns bounced back with four straight points to gain a 5-4 lead, after which they ran away with the set. Texas would allow the Tigers just one more lead in the frame, but a 10-3 run followed by a game-ending 6-0 run led to the largest margin of victory the Longhorns have had. In Game 2, Texas was down midway through the match at 9-13. But a 6-1 run, sparked by kills by Eckerman, senior outside hitter Bailey Web- ster and sophomore middle blocker Molly McCage, quelled the Tigers hopes. Like the first game, Texas put itself on cruise control at the end, closing the match with a 7-3 run that was aided by four LSU hitting errors. Texas never trailed in third game, as the Long- horns opened the set with four straight kills and an ace to jump out to a 5-0 lead. Eckerman and freshman middle blocker Chiaka Og- bogu carried the Longhorns in the last frame to their 12th straight win over LSU with five kills apiece. The match was Texas’ sec- ond-best offensively this year, just behind the match against UTEP on Aug. 31, boasting a .347 hitting percentage. On the other side, LSU hit just .127, marking the sixth time this season Texas has held an opponent to a hitting per- centage under .200. Outside of Eckerman, sophomore middle blocker Sara Hattis led the Longhorns in blocks with four, Ogbogu had a career-high hitting per- centage of .556 and freshman setter Chloe Collins added a match-high 38 assists. Texas resumes Big 12 Conference action Wednes- day evening when it hosts Texas Tech at 6 p.m. at Gregory Gym. By Evan Berkowitz@Evan_BerkowitzThe ITA Men’s All Ameri- can Championship wrapped up Sunday, with several Long- horns making notable tourna- ment runs. In his first tournament at Tex- as, freshman George Goldhoff advanced from the qualifier all the way to the quarterfinals of the main draw where he fell to No. 38 Julian Lenz of Baylor in straight sets (7-5, 6-4). Goldhoff became the first Longhorn to advance to the ITA quarterfinals since 1998, knocking off four nationally ranked opponents including the top-rated player in the country. In the process Goldhoff received a bid to November’s USTA/ITA National Indoor Championships in New York. No. 101-ranked junior Lloyd Glasspool fell in the Main Draw Consolation quarterfinals in straight sets to No. 95 Daniil Proskura from Alabama (6-3, 7-6 (9-7)) In the finals of the main draw Doubles Consolation, Glasspool/Soren Hess-Olesen fell to No. 10 Guigon/Kopin- ski of Illinois in three sets (6-4, 0-6, 6-1). Overall, Texas conclud- ed the tournament 18-12 in singles overall including 10-8 against ranked oppo- nents. The team went 6-6 in doubles including 3-3 against ranked competition. Longhorns tame Tigers in their final non-conference contestVOLLEYBALLMEN’S TENNIS / DREW LIEBERMANWEEKEND RECAPSAfter opening up Big 12 play 2-0, the Longhorns split a pair this weekend on the road, los- ing to West Virginia 2-1 and defeating Kansas 1-0. Texas (9-4-1, 3-1- 0 Big 12) fell behind early in Morgan- town Friday when the Mountaineers’ Frances Silva beat sophomore goalie Abby Smith with a shot to the far post in the 16th minute. Silva beat Smith again just 32 sec- onds into the sec- ond half, giving West Virginia (9- 2-2, 3-0 Big 12) a 2-0 lead. The Longhorns fought back with a goal from sopho- more midfielder Lindsey Meyer, who headed in a free kick from senior midfielder Gabby Zarnegar in the 50th minute, but were unable to add the equalizer, suffering their first confer- ence loss. For only the sec- ond time this sea- son, the Longhorns were outshot in the match. Texas managed to get off six shots and four shots on goal while West Virginia fired 16 shots and seven shots on goal. Sunday, against Kansas, Texas had a hard time finish- ing shots but was able to shut out the Jayhawks. The Longhorns fired 15 shots and eight on goal, but it was sophomore midfielder Aaron Strawser’s shot that snuck over Jay- hawks keeper Kait- lyn Stroud with just under five minutes left and found the back of the net to give Texas the win. Kansas (5-6-2, 0-1-1 Big 12) had 12 shots of their own, but Smith stopped all three shots on goal to record her sixth shutout of the season and the 13th of her career. The Longhorns remain tied with the Mountaineers in points atop the Big 12 standings but are a half-game behind, record-wise. Texas returns home to continue conference play against Baylor Friday night. SOCCER / JACOB MARTELLACharlie Pearce / Daily Texan Staff Junior outside hitter Haley Eckerman recorded a match-high 15 kills Saturday against LSU. Freshmen Chiaka Ogbogu and Chloe Collins also excelled in the sweep. After a five-day wait, sopho- more Breaunna Addison’s first singles appearance at the ITA All-American Championships was short-lived. Addison played Thursday against No. 11 Kyle McPhil- lips of UCLA in the first round of the main draw. McPhillips eliminated her from champion- ship contention in straight sets (7-5, 6-3). She also lost quickly Friday to No. 26 Nadia Ravita of Ken- tucky in the consolation round. The All-American was not as prepared as she wanted to be against her ranked opponents. “Breaunna fought hard but has battled through some physical challenges lately,” head coach Patty Fendick-McCain said in a statement. “She didn’t get to prepare the way she would have liked to in order to compete at her best. It was a tough week but I am confident she will bounce back like the champion that she is.” The Longhorns finished 7-6 in Southern California. Addison and Horn won three in doubles competition. Freshman Rat- nika Batra collected four singles matches, including two over ranked players. Texas heads to Fort Worth on Oct. 17 for the ITA Texas Regional Championships. WOMEN’S TENNIS / CHRIS CARAVEOBreaunna AddisonSophomoreGeorge GoldhoffFreshmanROWINGcontinues from page 6 8 L&Ahouses the factory, Collings became a master luthier. “I was always thrilled by the way a guitar sound- ed, and actually just how that sound made me feel,” Collings said. “Even though I didn’t play well, I loved it.” Collings moved from Ohio to Houston in 1975 for work. In his spare time, he began building guitars. Collings said he is not sure how many guitars he has made on that kitchen table in Houston, but there is one thing he knows for certain — guitar number 29 was coun- try singer Lyle Lovett’s. A young Lovett came to take photos of Collings for a school assignment after he heard local Houston musi- cian Rick Gordon played a Collings guitar. Now Lovett almost exclusively plays Collings guitars. “I have some pictures that Lyle took of me when I was 27,” Collings said. “He was in college, he was 18 in a pho- tojournalism class. Now he owns 30 of my guitars.” In 1980, Collings left Houston, which he said was becoming too big, and moved to Austin in what should have been a pit stop on the way to San Diego. He never went any farther. For 10 years, Collings experienced what he now calls his “struggling years,” a decade that ended with the birth of his daughter and the purchase of his first proper factory. “I knew I could turn it up or turn it down; If I worked at it, I could get customers,” Collings said. “The biggest switch was 1990 when I had a baby daughter. I didn’t want my daughter to know I was a bum.” Twenty-three years and a second factory later, Collings guitars receive international praise for being some of the highest quality instruments of their kind. Collings isn’t a household name such as Fender or Martin, but musicians and celebrities, including Conan O’Brien and Steven Spiel- berg, own Collings guitars. Collings gained respect through a guitar-building process that requires more than 50 hours of manual labor, almost all of which is done by hand. On an av- erage workday, the factory produces six or seven acous- tic guitars, three electric guitars, two mandolins and two ukuleles. Ask anyone what it is that sets a Collings apart from any other guitar, and the answer will be “attention to detail.” But the attention to detail Collings gives things such as guitars is lost on al- most everything else. Steve McCreary, general manager of the Collings factory and old friend of Collings’, found similarities between Collings and Steve Jobs when he read the Jobs biography. “Collings is the same way as Jobs when it comes to de- tails,” McCreary said. “He likes the inside of guitars to be just as nice as the outside. But he’s a total mess. Like his cars are trashed. Nice cars, but he kind of gets off on them being trashy.” Collings walks around his factory and points at the per- fectly clean binding of an un- finished acoustic guitar one minute and shoves a handful of rice and chicken into his mouth with his hands the next. Utensils are a conve- nience. Perfection in his in- struments is a necessity. Building guitars to Collings’ high standards is tedious work, yet the atmo- sphere inside his factory is laid back. Instead of after- noon meetings around a long table, a group of employees plays four square in the park- ing lot behind the factory at 3:15 p.m. every day. Kevin Jones, an employee at Hill Country Guitars, a Collings guitar dealer, worked at the Collings fac- tory for eight years. In his time at the factory, he said he got to know Collings as well as he feels anyone can get to know him. “He’s a character,” Jones said. “He’s a great human being, has a tremendous heart, but not everybody can see that.” Collings splits his time in the factory between eat- ing rice and chicken with his fingers, making sure the human assembly line is running smoothly and pick- ing on his employees like a schoolyard bully. Jones remembered one of his coworkers at the factory who was terrified of snakes. Jones said one day, just to mess with him, Collings tied a live garden snake to a string and lowered it over the man’s workbench. Some bosses show appreciation through kind e-mails. Collings chooses to show appreciation through teasing and pranks. Bruce Van Wart, Collings’ first employee, has worked for Collings since 1989. Ac- cording to him, Collings has slowed down since the early days. “He’s not as fiery as he used to be, believe it or not,” Van Wart said. “He’s got his own distractions with hot rods and all kinds of things.” Just as soon as Collings will lower a live snake over a workbench in the name of a good joke, he will loan a car to a worker, or allow a day off when the waves are good if he knows someone really loves to surf. The men and women who work in his factory do the job he no longer has the capac- ity to do by himself. His em- ployees are his hands, and he treats them well. Every so often Collings will sit down in front of the workbench, roll up his sleeves and build a guitar. He said he does it with a bottle of Everclear at his side, but the smile on his face after he said it is a sign that this could be another one of his jokes. Now, his favorite thing to do is build arch top guitars and ukuleles because they are the most challenging. He said he builds about five or six arch tops per year. The rest of his time is reserved to learning how to play one, a craft he has been trying to master for 40 years. But according to Collings, you can never really learn. “The Book of Mormon” is not a literal stage version of the teachings of Mor- monism. Instead, the nine- time Tony Award-winning musical has been capturing audiences for the past few years with its farcical look at religion. While entertain- ing, “The Book of Mormon” walks the fine line between hilarity and vulgarity. The show centers on the story of two Mormon mis- sionaries, Elder Cunning- ham and Elder Price, as they set out for their mission trips. Price, the ideal Mor- mon boy, is paired with the dorky, compulsive liar, Cun- ningham. The two are as- signed to do mission work in Uganda, ruining Price’s dream to serve in Orlando. Upon arriving in Uganda, the pair meets a quirky group of missionaries, the locals and a warlord. Price flees the mission, and to convert the Ugandans, Cunningham tells them lies about his reli- gion. After having a “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream,” Price has a change of heart and returns to the missionary camp. The boys baptize the locals, and all is well until the lies they’ve been teaching are revealed. The show ends with the missionaries and newly converted Mormons accept- ing their religion despite their mistakes and doubts. With all the awards and acclaim it has received, I had high hopes for “The Book of Mormon,” so my question go- ing into the show was wheth- er or not it would live up to the hype. There is a reason why fans everywhere are falling in love with “The Book of Mormon.” Itis satirical and touching na- ture and wit makes it a relat- able show that is irresistible to all audiences. One must keep in mind that “The Book of Mormon” was created by the makers of “South Park,” meaning the musical has controversial subject matter viewers might find offensive. Cursing is plentiful, vulgar jokes are nu- merous and it playfully mocks Mormonism. Whether or not these elements are tasteful, they are hilarious and serve to poke fun at a group of people, not insult them. Elder Price, played by Mark Evans, a Broadway- show veteran, perfectly portrays the stereotypical goody-goody Mormon boy. His counterpart, Elder Cun- ningham, played by Chris- topher John O’Neill in his Broadway debut, is nerdy and hilarious. Cunningham provided only comedy in the start of the show, but by the end, he had earned the audi- ence’s love. The sincerity of the char- acters keeps “The Book of Mormon” from being bla- tantly offensive. The actors played their parts as carica- tures, fitting with the campy script. But moments includ- ing Evans’ performance of “I Believe” and the breathtak- ing, comic ballad “Sal Tlay Ka Siti,” sung by the village chief’s daughter, Nabulungi (Samantha Marie Ware) bring a touching truthfulness to the show. There are clever references to other musicals in show’s songs, displaying an appre- ciation for Broadway his- tory. “Hello” is reminiscent of “Telephone Hour” from “Bye, Bye Birdie,” “Sal Tlay Ka Siti” mimics “Somewhere That’s Green” from “Little Shop of Horrors,” and “You And Me (But Mostly Me)” sounds similar to “Defying Gravity” from “Wicked” — just to name a few. Intricate backdrops in- spired by a sparkling Salt Lake City are quickly ex- changed for a dreary but oddly beautiful Ugandan vil- lage, which then transforms into Hell with the use of im- pressive lighting. If not viewed with open eyes, it is easy to cast “The Book of Mormon” off as a funny show with no real val- ue. When examined closely, the musical’s overall message and wit make it stand out among many other Broad- way shows in production to- day. Looking past its explicit nature, “The Book of Mor- mon” conveys the message that it is okay to believe in something, even if it is a little bit silly. 8Monday, October 7, 2013LIFE&ARTSGUITAR continues from page 1‘THE BOOK OF MORMON’When: Now through Oct. 13Where: Bass Concert HallCost: $39 to $139Play takes audience on funny mission tripBy Eleanor Dearman@ellydearmanPhoto courtesy of Joan MarcusThe Book of Mormon national tour company.

A slightly worn, pastel-yellow vintage suit- case with a kick drum em- bedded into the side is an efficient way for Alejandro Rose-Garcia to bring his music with him everywhere. Yet as Rose-Garcia, known by his stage name Shakey Graves, has risen to critical acclaim as Austin’s best one- man band, the kick drum suitcase has come to rep- resent Rose-Garcia’s music as an edgy, soulful twist on folk music. “[The kick drum suitcase] ended up being built for the Railroad Revival Tour, the Edward Sharpe and Mum- ford & Sons show that came to town,” Rose-Garcia said. “Every stop that they would make, they would have an official [musician] for the show that played outside of the gates, and I got picked to be the one for Austin. So I kind of felt like I should have as much of my sound as pos- sible, and I sat out and played for people who walked right by me.” Born and raised in Aus- tin, Rose-Garcia grew up in a theater-centered home. Taking up acting as a small child and continuing into his adulthood, he achieved an impressive resume of roles in a variety of movies, including a couple of Rob- ert Rodriguez films, and TV series such as “Friday Night Lights” and “Dallas.” After graduating from Ste- phen F. Austin High School, Rose-Garcia moved out to Los Angeles to pursue a legitimate acting career. “It was a slow gain,” Rose- Garcia said. “You know, eventually L.A. just kept roll- ing me over. I went out to auditions and had a pretty stressful time and just kind of fought the dragon. Luck- ily, I loved it because the en- tire time I was there, I just wrote music.” As the number of shows he played surpassed the number of roles he booked, Rose-Garcia realized music was his future. He returned to Austin. Rose-Garcia received a warm reception from his hometown. In January 2011 he released his first album, Roll the Bones, and by De- cember of 2012, he had un- veiled his Donor Blues EP, which, according to his web- site, consisted of previously unreleased home records from 2009 that were “re- corded on a Tascam 4 track using one shitty mic and outdated software.” Rose-Garcia’s music has dominated the folk scene in Austin. His foot stomping beats and raspy voice even garnered him his own holi- day from Mayor Lee Leffin- gwell, who dubbed Feb. 9 as “Shakey Graves Day.” “[It was] a little over- whelming,” Rose-Garcia said. “To a certain degree, I don’t feel capable of accepting that compliment. Then on the other hand, I was born and raised in Austin, so it’s about the coolest thing possible.” This year, Rose-Garcia earned his first slot at the sec- ond weekend of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, Oct. 12, on the BMI stage. “Shakey Graves is easily one of the most buzzed about acts in Texas and this year’s ACL Festival,” said Mark Ma- son, BMI’s senior director, writer and publisher. “We’re thrilled to have him on the BMI stage.” Rose-Garcia, who snuck into the inaugural ACL in 2001 when he was in high school, is still trying to wrap his mind around the fact that he will be returning as a performer. “This is kind of going to be a seminal experi- ence entirely,” Rose-Garcia said. “It’s a big milestone. I’m trying really not to think about it too much. I’m lucky enough to be [touring] on the road right now, so I feel like I’ve been training, you know? It feels like a big fight, like a prize- fight somehow. But I’m just excited to be a part of it. It will be fun to rub elbows and just experience it as a participant. That’s always the most fun part.” SARAH-GRACE SWEENEY, LIFE&ARTS EDITOR / @DailyTexanArts10Monday, October 7, 2013ACL: First weekend in reviewNative Austinite comes back to play at ACLBy Hillary Hurst@hillary_hurstFRIDAYSATURDAYSUNDAYSam Ortega / Daily Texan StaffMatt Bellamy, lead singer of Muse, performs at the Samsung Galaxy stage.

Three years later, they are back with new sounds and old favorites. Mid-2000s nostalgia was the theme of the first day as other high profile acts included Jimmy Eat World, Arctic Monkeys and Queens of the Stone Age. Jimmy Eat World’s set transported me to my middle school days. They played three songs from 2004’s Futures, including “Pain” and “Work.” The newer songs didn’t hit as hard. Jimmy Eat World are getting older, but the band came across as old pros. While fun. puts on an energetic live show, all of the qual- ities that bother listeners on a record are only amplified when performed live. They definitely worked the crowd over, and it was strange to have them playing at 4 p.m. considering their draw. It was strange that Vampire Weekend wasn’t an offi- cial headliner. The always-consistent band made a strong case, playing an energetic 16-song set over the course of an hour, with songs from each of their albums. They went from song to song so quickly that the audience couldn’t catch their breath between sing-a-longs. New songs like “Step” and “Unbelievers” sounded great, even if they didn’t receive the enthusiasm of classics like “Oxford Comma” or “A-Punk.” All of the fan favorites were played, even non- singles like “Campus” and “California English.” One of the last shows of the night, Depeche Mode, was crowded. For a large part of the show, singer Dave Gahan was unsuccessfully attempting to get the audi- ence to interact. After 50 minutes, I wondered if ACL had made the right choice booking them as headliners. But the minute Gahan sang “reach out and touch faith” and that legendary guitar riff played, the crowd lost it. It was definitely one of the best moments of the festival, one that the band couldn’t live up to again during their obligatory encore. During day two, the festival’s mobile app kept on send- ing out messages to prepare everyone for a cold front in the late afternoon that didn’t actually occur until right around 8 p.m. But the weather was perfect for some aim- less wandering catching pieces of Dan Croll and Max Frost play good ol’ fashioned rock ‘n’ roll in the early af- ternoon. The craft beer tent also made an excellent addi- tion to the festival. The much-hyped L.A. band HAIM gave an intense performance as the sisters rocked out more than ex- pected, based off their debut album. One of the sisters jumped off the stage toward the end and ran through the median in the crowd with infectious joy and en- ergy. Once she reunited with the band on stage, they all began pounding on drums for a frenzied take on “Let Me Go.” Grimes was packed 20 minutes before she took the stage. When Claire Boucher arrived, she explained her keyboard wasn’t working but vowed to make adjustments and play on. A few songs in, her backup dancers came out and the keyboard situation was fixed, so the music began to settle into a nice groove. She played “Oblivion” halfway through and the entire crowd danced along. Apart from that, the set was less energetic than I was expecting, and I feel like Grimes may be an act much better suited for a club show. But a band perfectly equipped to play in a festival setting was Passion Pit, with a crowd at least the size of Vampire Weekend the day before. They delivered a hugely energetic set that reminded me of Cut Copy’s from two years back. Passion Pit ran through hits from both of their popular albums, finishing with “Sleepy- head.” Their show was easily one of the best shows of the day. Kendrick Lamar had pretty much everyone under the age of 30 in the audience to see him. ACL underestimates the draw of rap artists, but hopefully the huge draw Lamar brought will teach them a lesson. At one point, Lamar said that rather than this being a show, festival or a concert, it was an experience. Looking at the thousands of people gathered around, it felt like one. The night ended with The Cure. Robert Smith came out in the same makeup he’s always worn and sounded just as good as he ever has. While the band members and the majority of the crowd have gotten a lot older, it was still spe- cial to see one of the best bands of the ‘80s play to a crowd of tens of thousands of enraptured fans who were definitely reliving their youth. Day three of ACL began at the Franz Ferdinand set, who opened with “No You Girls” and stuck in solid renditions of “Do You Want To.” The crowd was excited by an extended version of “This Fire” containing a breakdown reminiscent of LCD Soundystem’s live shows. Every one knew and sang along to “Take Me Out.” There were a lot of children in the crowd, a man crowd-surfing in a full body gorilla suit and a topless woman wearing goggles and some sort of strange mask with spikes covering her face. My guess is she was waiting for Eric Church to play the same stage after. The National also drew an impressive crowd. They played about half of their latest album, Trouble Will Find Me, including a rousing rendition of “Sea of Love.” Lead singer Matt Beringer screamed often and slammed his microphone stand violently against the ground, but the band was perfectly in sync, doing some really cool things like when a guitarists grabbed a second guitar and started banging it against the ground during “I Need My Girl.” The set wound down with “Fake Empire,” Beringer saying that the song was never more relevant than now. After- ward, during “Mr. November,” Beringer ran through the crowd screaming the refrain. At Phoenix, who for some reason was put on a smaller stage, the crowd was tightly packed. One crowd member exclaimed “by the time you’ve mastered ACL logistics, you forget that you like music.” After watching Phoenix’s set, there is absolutely no reason why they shouldn’t have the headlined for tonight instead of Atoms For Peace. They played for 80 minutes, sticking mostly to their latest album Bankrupt and 2009’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The crowd went wild anytime something from Wolfgang was played like “Liztomania,” “Lasso” or “1901.” The sound cut out for a minute dur- ing the closing reprise of “Entertainment,” but as Thomas Mars made his way back to the stage from the middle of the crowd, the band was jamming out and it was apparent that Phoenix had just played the best set of the day, if not the entire weekend.
