Barak Obama B y M ic h e lle W e st D aily Texan Staff Notable public figures at this year's llth annual Texas Book include a prospec­ Festival tive presidential candidate, a New York Times columnist, a comedic writer and performer and a renowned intellectual. However, a well-known red furry monster pulled out at the last minute. Elmo and the man behind the puppet, Kevin Clash, cancelled their appearance because of scheduling conflicts, but more than 200 authors are slated to promote and sign their lat­ est literary works and discuss issues relevant to their books over the weekend. Since the first festival in 1995, the literary celebration has taken place every year pri­ marily at the Texas Capitol — a nod in the direction of former Texas first lady and book festival co-founder Laura Bush. "It was just the idea that this is public space. It's the people's venue, this is where [the festi­ val] should be," said festival literary director Clay Smith. "It just seems sort of natural that in addition to political discussion that there be liter­ ary discussion as well." The festival aims to promote reading and raise money for state libraries. It has raised as much as $1.8 million for Texas public libraries since its incep­ tion, Smith said. By the spring, organizers project the festi­ val will raise $2 million to be awarded in the form of grants. Funds come from corporate sponsors and ticket sales from the First Edition Literary Gala today, Smith said. Topics authors will discuss include presidential politics, children's literature and the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Most events are free, unless noted on the festival Web site. "W e're like a gift to the state," Smith said. In addition to the vari­ ous discussion sessions tak­ ing place during the festival, special events include a con­ versation between columnist Maureen Dowd and intellec­ tual Gore Vidal at Paramount Theatre, a viewing of Animal House with the writer and fra­ ternity member whose adven­ tures inspired the movie, and an opening ceremony with U.S. Sen.

J erem y B a lk in | D a ily Texan Staff Study finds restaurants risky for binge eaters By Weiwen Ji D a ily Texan Staff Restaurants are a high-risk environment for binge eaters, and depression can agitate unhealthy to a food habits, according new study conducted by Gayle Timmerman, assistant dean of the UT School of Nursing. The article, "Restaurant Eating Binge-Eating in Nonpurge Women," will be published in the November issue of the Western Journal of Nursing Research. The study involved 121 female par­ ticipants, including 71 nonpurge binge eaters, or persons who do not vomit after binge eating. According to the study, people eat out at restaurants about 3.5 days per week. When eating at res­ taurants, 27 percent of binge eaters said they had difficulty controlling how much they ate, while 43 per­ cent said they ate an "excessive" amount, according to the study. Larger food portions, relaxing environments and appetizing food cues actually attract binge eaters who think they can control themselves in restaurants to eat more, Timmerman said. "That was surprising to me," she said. "Fifty percent of binge samples were in restaurants. Binge eating is not something you do at home secretly." A high number of binge eaters reported eating excessively at res­ taurants in response to feelings of depression, according to the report.

The 39-year-old professional musician is one of 3,000 to 4,000 evacuees still living in the Austin area after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged areas of the Gulf Coast in August and September 2005. Jones was among more than 150 evacuees who attended a clinic Thursday at an East Austin church to recertify for Federal Emergency Management Agency rental assistance. "I'm trying to get what I can get," Jones said. "I keep hearing about rental assistance, but the big checks I hear people are get­ ting, I'm not." According documents provided by FEMA, the agen­ cy allows disaster evacuees to receive rental assistance for 18 months after a federal disaster declaration, but the evacuees to KATRINA continues on page 5A FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27,2006 Final tuition and fee payment due for students who selected the three-payment plan.

Kim Espinosa | Daily Texan Staff CARSON: Act helps reduce trial’s length and scope From pagelA a precedent that would have strained the foundation's funds. Carson claims this decision was in retaliation for the 2002 settlement. evidence concerned whether Carson's reprimands for the cleanliness of his office and the amount of storage space he used were racially motivated. Other Carson's credibility came under criticism when Powers told defense lawyers that Carson had published only three times in his 18-year tenure at UT. His testimony also called into question whether Carson was fulfilling his full-time duties at UT while work­ ing at other institutions, including Texas A&M University. After ini tial arguments, the judge dismissed the jury and recalled counsel to reduce the scope of the trial under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974, also known as Rule 50. Rule 50, created to reduce trial lengths, allows a judge to decide whether, after arguments have been presented, there is enough evidence for a jury to make a decision. Senior U.S. District Judge Donald Walter said most of the arguments were against UT, but Powers and the UT Law School Foundation were still included as defendants in the case. The Rule 50 ruling released legendary trial lawyer and swim center namesake Joe Jamail and Vice President for Employee and Campus Services Pat Clubb from the lawsuit in their individual capacities, though they may be called as witnesses. The trial continues today in the U.S. District Court on Eighth Street.

Judges of the M o Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership will rate 53 African countries each year on progress in economy, health, education and security. Each leader awarded the prize will receive $5 million spread over 10 years after leaving office. If still alive w hen the initial prize is exhausted, prize-winners will receive another $200,000 annually until they die. "A situation in which leaders face three choices — relative pov­ erty, term extension, or corrup­ tion — is not conducive to goo d governance," Ibrahim wrote in an opinion piece published in The Guardian newspaper Thursday. "And the continent's problems will not be solved unless governance improves radically." The first prize will be awarded late next year. Russia opposes Iranian nuclear program sanctions M O SC O W — Russia signaled its opposition Thursday to a draft U.N. Security Council resolution proposed by European nations that w ould impose sanctions on Iran over its disputed nuclear pro­ gram, calling it a departure from existing agreements between world powers. Russia and China, veto-wield­ ing permanent m embers of the council that have strong com ­ mercial ties with Tehran, have been reluctant to support sanc­ tions against Iran. A key concern for M osco w is the future of its $1 billion contract to build Iran's first nuclear power station. "O ur goal is to eliminate the risks of sensitive technologies getting into the hands of Iran until the IAEA [International Atom ic Energy Agency] clari­ fies issues of interest to it, while m aintaining all possible channels of com m unication with Iran," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in com m ents on state television. "And it seem s to me that, in this context, the draft resolution clearly does not correspond to those tasks agreed on by the six sides," he added, speaking on the sidelines of an international Arctic conference in Russia's far north. The six major powers of United States, Russia, Germany, France, Britain and China have offered Iran incentives to halt uranium enrichment, but Tehran has reject­ ed them. Enrichment can produce material for nuclear power reac­ tors or weapons. C om piled from Associated Press reports Wo r l d & N atio n U.S. deaths in Iraq highest in year T h e D a i l y T e x a n By Qassim Abdul-Zahra The A ssociated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — The num ­ ber of Am erican troops killed in Iraq in October reached the highest monthly total in a year Thursday after four Marines and a sailor died of wounds suffered while fighting in the same Sunni insurgent stronghold. The U.S. military said 96 U.S. troops have died so far in October, the m ost in one month since O ctober 2005, when the same number was killed. The highest monthly death toll prior to that came in January 2005, when 107 U.S. troops were killed. The spike in deaths has been a major factor behind rising anti­ in the United w ar sentim ent States, fueling calls for President Bush to change tactics. Polls show a m ajority of Americans are opposed to Bush's handling of Iraq, and at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday, Bush indicated he shared the public's frustration even as he pushed back against calls for troop withdrawals. "I know many Americans are not satisfied with the situation in Iraq," Bush said. "I'm not satis­ fied either." Fighting continued Thursday with fresh clashes between Iraqi security forces and militia groups linked to major Shiite political parties, part of an ominous new trend adding to the violence Khalid Mo hammed | Associated Press A 172nd Stryker Brigade C om b at Team soldier squats by a shopkeeper in central B a gh dad 's Karradah district Thursday. U.S. and Iraqi forces threw a security cordon around Karradah on M o n d a y night and continued door-to- d oor searches through Thursday in search o f m issing officer of Iraqi descent. wrought by the Sunni-led insur­ gency against U.S. coalition forc­ es and their Iraqi allies. At least five policemen were killed and 10 injured in fight­ ing near Baqouba pitting Iraqi security forces against gunmen of the Mahdi Army militia, who are loyal to fiery anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, police spokesmen said. Mahdi militiamen have flood­ ed into the area 35 miles north­ east of Baghdad, forcing large numbers of residents belonging to Iraq's Sunni Arab minority to flee their homes. Mahdi fighters killed scores of Sunnis in mas­ sacres last week in the nearby city of Balad, forcing U.S. troops to return to the area after Iraqi security forces were unable to stem the bloodshed. The U.S. military said the five service members killed in vola­ tile Anbar province included a sailor assigned to the 3rd Naval Construction Regiment. Two of the Marines were attached to Regimental Combat Team 5, and two others to Regimental Combat Team 7. All died from wounds suffered in attacks on Wednesday in Anbar province, a hotbed of the Sunni insurgency. have officials N am es are being withheld their pending notification of families. U.S. said O ctober's higher death toll is linked to a historical spike in violence during the M uslim holy month of Ramadan, which ended this week, as well as addi­ tional patrols launched as part of a security drive in Baghdad. The deadliest m onth for in Iraq was American forces November 2004, when military offenses primarily in the then- insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad, left 137 troops dead, 126 of them in combat. O ctober has been especially deadly for Iraqi security forces and civilians, also. According to Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, about 300 Iraqi police and soldiers died during Ramadan, while altogether, more than 961 Iraqis have been killed in war-related violence this month, the highest level since The Associated Press began tracking civilian deaths in April 2005. That amounts to an average of more than 41 each day, compared with a daily average of about 27 since April 2005, as more Iraqis fall prey to sectarian death squads affiliated with the militias. 3A Friday, O c to b e r 27, 2 0 0 6 NATION BRIEFLY New home prices fall by largest amount in 35 years W ASHING TON — Is this what a housing bust looks like? New hom e prices fell last m onth by the largest am ount in 35 years and owners are being warned to brace for further declines, especially in formerly hot markets. After years of increases, som e buyers say prices are still out of their range. The Commerce Department reported that the median price for a new hom e sold in Septem ber was $217,100, a decline of 9.7 per­ cent from September 2005. That was the lowest median hom e price in two years and the sharpest year-over-year decline since Decem ber 1970, providing dramatic evidence of the slow ­ dow n in the once-boom ing ho us­ ing market. The median price is the middle point, where half sell for m ore and half sell for less. Rumsfeld tells Iraq war critics to 'back off' deadlines W ASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Thursday that critics should "just back off" on dem ands for dead­ lines in Iraq and that it is difficult to predict w hen Iraqis will resume control of their country. At a Pentagon new s confer­ ence, Rum sfeld said b e n ch ­ m arks for security, political and econom ic progress that U.S. and Iraqi officials have been d iscussing are valuable because "you are in effect establishing priorities." But he said the timelines have no specific deadlines, or conse­ quences if goals are not met by specific dates. "You're looking for som e sort of a guillotine to com e falling d o w n if som e date isn't met. That is not what this is about," Rum sfeld said. "They've been discussing the way forward through the rest of this year and next year," Rumsfeld said of discussions between U.S. and Iraqi officials. C om piled from Associated Press reports Bush signs bill allowing 700 miles of fence on border ally sealed from Mexico through fencing and other barriers. Skeptics say the m oney to build the full 700 m iles will never m aterialize and the bill signing w as m erely a political gesture. "T h e presid en t this Congress had a historic oppor­ tunity to pass a tough but fair and by squandered im m igration reform plan this year, but instead that chance w as those R epublicans w ho are m ore concerned about the ballot box than actually providing real solu tion s," said Sen. Edw ard Kennedy, D-Mass, a chief archi­ tect of the Senate legislation Bush had supported. B y T h e A sso c ia te d Press WASHINGTON — President Bush wanted an exchange of workers with Mexico to bring order to the border, but wound up signing a law Thursday that approves partitioning 700 miles of the United States from its southern neighbor. The administration once talked of "orderly m igration" — work­ ers entering the United States and returning to Mexico or other countries when their jobs were finished. But political realities have replaced phrases like that with "border security" and plans for fences, surveillance cameras, unmanned aerial vehicles and watch towers. Bush still w an ts a g u est- w orker program , but the tough­ est resistance to that idea has com e from his ow n R epublican Party — and has intensified as the m idterm elections have draw n near. His W hite House signing cer­ em ony for the new fence law — just 12 days before the Nov. 7 elections — gave Republicans som ething to point to as they try to convince voters their party will do a better job of cracking down on illegal immigrants and keeping crim inals and terrorists out. "W e 're m o d ern izin g the southern border of the United States so we can assure the A m erican people w e're doing our job o f securing the border," Bush said. The new law also gives the D ep artm ent of H om eland Security up to 18 months to achieve "operational control" of the border, defined as preventing all illegal entries into the U.S. by land or water. The bill didn't come with any new funding, and the $1.2 bil­ lion that Congress previously approved is not enough to build the full 700 miles of proposed double-layer fence. Costs differ depending on terrain, environm ental issues and whether private property is involved. Sen. Jon Kyi, R-Ariz., said Congress will add more money each year to erect the fence. "Within about three years, we should have about 370 miles," said Kyi, whose state would be virtu­ lip Fly to 6th St! Take Capital M etro's E -b u s this Halloween.

It's understandable that there needs to be punishment for unpaid parking tickets, but adding a hassle on top of a fine is just too cruel. Elmo The beloved Sesame Street char­ acter cancelled an appearance at this weekend's Texas Book Festival citing a "schedule conflict." Unlike pathetic schmucks Barack Obama and Gore Vidal, Elmo, of "Tickle Me" fame, had better things to do. Kevin Clash, the muppeteer behind the fur, was scheduled to promote his scintillating tell-all "My Life as a Furry Red Monster: What Elmo has Taught Me about Life, Love and Laughing Out Loud." We've always been Cookie Monster fans. Sculpted nudity A settlement was reached Monday between Frisco I.S.D. and a 28-year art teacher after a fifth-grader saw some statuesque genitalia at a field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. The teacher, Sydney McGee, will be on paid leave until her termination goes into effect in May, but school board officials insist she wasn't fired for the field trip. Maybe folks at the Blanton could invest in some John Ashcroft robes of justice to prevent an occurrence here. An attack on Bell screws ‘Grandma’ By Harrison James Powers Daily Texan Columnist Gov. Rick Perry released his first attack ad last week, and its target surprised many. Instead of attacking his then-closest compet­ itor, Independent Carole Keeton “Grandma" Strayhom, Perry went after Democrat Chris Bell. The ad features sharks and "Jaws-esque" music while show­ ing news clippings incriminat­ ing Bell and his alleged collusion with a “corrupt" trial lawyer. Gov. Perry has found a perfect combination of allusions that can connect with the average Texan voter. No one likes sharks, and even fewer like successful trial lawyers. How are we to look at a trial lawyer shark except with contempt? John O'Quinn, the attorney in question, gave $1 million to the Bell campaign after last month's gubernatorial debate. O'Quinn has already promised an additional $4 million to help Bell defeat Perry, despite the controversy. O'Quinn has been described by his critics as having a “questionable" career, to put it kindly. Although a legendary attorney in the state, O'Quinn has faced accusations by the State Bar for ethics violations and illegal solicitation of clients. Most notably, his firm— the O'Quinn Law Firm based in Houston— reportedly approached the v ictims of a 1994 USAir jet crash to be represented. O'Quinn is also considered to be the highest paid lawyer in Texas. Pern, sei/ed on this col­ orful background and made a direct stab at the man most polls have in third. How one man donating $1 mil­ lion to Bell is awful while Perry revels in his massive war chest financed by huge donations is unclear. What is clear, however, Ls that Perry was not attacking Bell as a competitor. Perry Was trying to remove focus from his closest competition, Strayhom. Perry's ad campaign worked. Bell has moved up in the polls — in fact, the latest Rasmussen poll places him three percent­ age points above Strayhom and within striking distance of Perry. Strayhom is no longer considered to be a threat to the incumbent's campaign. Perry's closest competitor is a Democrat running in a red state. There is no way that Bell can be governor of Texas. There are only so many Democrats voting, and because of this his percent­ age of the vote is reaching its apex. To compound the problem, independent Kinky Friedman is holding some of the Democratic votes hostage. Lots of money is needed to run a political campaign. Yet all of the candidates are under scru­ tiny for their various methods of procuring it. Bell, who has been running despite having little money in comparison with the other candidates, finally gets a sizeable donation and is hanged for it. Money needs to be removed as a campaigning factor in future elections. If free air time were allot­ ted for each candidate with more than 5 percent of the vote, then campaign contributions would become much less important. We could judge the candidates based on their merits and platforms, not by the overwhelming cam­ paigns and careful politicking of the wealthier runners. Strayhom has received the shortest stick in this deal. She is now out of the race because she is splitting the Republican base with Perry, and in her place is someone that cannot win. The ads drew the Democrats that were voting for Strayhom into Bell's camp. Perry's political team has scored a home run. Strayhom is making a final effort to bring voters back with her denouncement of the Accenture-run state program, which she claims is denying chil­ dren health cam. She claims that the program is an example of how privatization fails in prac­ tice. Unless this causes a reaction among voters, this gubernato­ rial race is over before the vot­ ing has even begun.

Fortunately for me, I get to see how this idea pans out beyond the world of hypotheticals. Luke Ravenstahl is only four years out of college, and this past September he became the new mayor of Pittsburgh. When the previous mayor died of a brain tumor, Ravenstahl became the youngest mayor in the country. Many may hope their parents don't find out about this, in case more pressure to finish school on time is needed. But the biggest threat to my stress level is a loan called the "Be On Time" loan. This loan doesn't make you pay back your money as long as you graduate on time with no more than your required credit hours. Although this is a great way to promote hard work with the incentive of no debt, in my case this means I'll have to grad­ uate a year early so as not to go over. THE FIRING LINE Money doesn't buy equality After reading "Report shows prob­ lems queer students face" by Stephen Clark in the Oct. 25 issue of The Daily Texan, I realized just how out of touch the UT leadership is. The report details many recommendations that the senior administrators seem to be taking seriously. These include gen­ der-neutral bathrooms and publicity materials, an LGBTQ dormitory floor, access to UT married housing and my favorite, free HIV testing. These recommendations come just a week after the blood drive, where an article in this paper featured homosexuals who took offence to the mere thought that they were more prone to HIV than straight people are. Now we should use tuition dollars to provide a reportedly unneeded service that is offensive to the group it is supposed to be supporting? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but neither does allow­ ing unmarried students to use UT's married housing program. Providing support for children should be the priority here, so slots should be given to those with kids first, then to those couples most likely to have children. The rest of the recommendations are poor for two reasons. First, they are just throwing money at the problem. Gender-neutral bathrooms can't be cheap. All restrooms have private toilets already. Specialized faculty train­ ing will also be costly and ineffective. Does a gay man have a harder time doing calculus? How about reading Shakespeare? Secondly, they do not provide the "unequivocal message of inclusive­ ness" the report is asking for. In fact, it's just the opposite. If there were LGBTQ only dorm floors, fraternities and com­ munities, wouldn't that be more segre­ gated than integrated? No amount of money or special considerations will make a group feel This rushing through college is just a symptom of society's unwittingly acknowledged fast track to happiness through money. What produced this uncom­ fortable state of affairs was the choice to take summer classes at my local community college and dual-credit classes in liigh school, as so many of my friends did to get ahead of the game. Those who experienced the accelerated AP or IB programs in high school were always looking a few years down the road, when our hard work preparing for col­ lege would finally pay off. The reality turned out to be that the job market is bursting with people with bachelor's degrees looking for work. Not only that, but entry-level wages for college and high school graduates fell by more than 4 per­ cent from 2001 to 2005 after factor­ ing in inflation, according to an analysis of Labor Department data by the Economic Policy Institute. In addition, the percentage of col­ lege graduates receiving health and pension benefits in their entry- level jobs has dropped sharply. more included. The only way to make someone feel equal is to treat that per­ son like everyone else. Robert Rogers Electrical and computer engineering junior October 25,2006 Forum to address QSA report The Queer Students Alliance thanks Chris Robertson for his Firing Line, "Segregating a Community," in which he points out several questions that arise after a first reading of the "State of LGBTQ Affairs" report. We welcome these questions and are excited about the opportunity to edu­ cate the University community about the report and its recommendations. QSA is planning a "town hall meet­ ing" that will be open to all University students, faculty and staff. We invite all who are curious or have questions about the report to attend. We are confident that once we open a dia­ logue, the perceived contradictions will be resolved, and we can all work together in making the University a national leader in LGBTQ student inclusiveness.

Jake Holbrook Public relations director Queer Students Alliance Radio-television-film senior October 26,2006 Out with Smith, in with Strohm Although the Texan editorial board endorsed John Courage in Congressional District 21, a far better vote would be for Libertarian James Strohm. Although the district was recently redrawn by a court, it is still so severely gerrymandered that incum­ bent Republican Lamar Smith should easily win re-election. Consequently, this scenario presents the best oppor­ The end goal of the race is fur­ ther away than we had imagined. Graduate school, a synonym for additional years of academic toil and financial debt, is actually a more pleasant option than wading through the unknown waters of the "real world." While it is grati­ fying and a great leverage point for those who make it through, why can't there be socially acceptable and viable alternatives to trudging along the beaten path of so many other hopeful intellectuals? The question of "where are all the leaders of today" could be answered: they're all struggling under the stress of accumulating debt and pleasing mom and dad, also known as society's accepted measures of success. This rush through college is just a symptom of society's unwittingly acknowledged fast track to hap­ piness through money. American capitalism has made our readily identifiable measures of success lim­ ited in their realm of opportunity. tunity for a third-party vote for people concerned about the future of free­ dom in America. Strohm's strong Libertarian posi­ tions have a lot more to offer both liberals outraged about warrantless wiretaps, habeas corpus infringements and the Patriot Act and conservatives infuriated over Bush being the big- gest-spending president since FDR. Anti-war voters who vote for Courage will have many of their votes cancelled out by pro-war Courage vot­ ers. Only by voting for a Libertarian like Strohm can liberals be assured of send­ ing a strong message against the war and against Orwellian government. Young conservatives who are con­ cerned about our $8.5 trillion national debt and realize that Social Security will be bankrupt by the time they reach retirement are throwing their vote away by voting for Smith. Apparently, Republicans have been spayed and neutered against voting for massive cuts in government appropriations. Bush defenders such as Smith sup­ ported the president's multi-billion dollar Medicare prescription drug cov­ erage bill, and Smith has even boasted about increasing higher education subsidies. Only Libertarians like Strohm realize that Bush is a tax-spend-and- inflate Fabian. Clark Patterson Special student in liberal arts October 26, 2006 Is c.u. an insult? The Daily Texan needs to be aware of errors that show up all the time in this paper. Simple errors. In this morning's article about Evan Sylvester and his appearance on Wheel of Fortune, Shara Challa refers to the schools from which Sylvester's oppo­ nents come from, one of which she deems Colorado University. As far as I know, there is no such school. It is The University of Colorado. Maybe this is just a huge pet peeve of mine, but this sort of thing happens all the time (not Those coming to college on scholarship or financial aid are especially pressured to make the "responsible" decision of choos­ ing a major that will ensure a steady job after college. Social work and the exploration of careers in studying poverty or working with non-profits are too often dismissed as not being suit­ able for making a living in our society. Is the reason behind our inabil­ ity to produce answers to the questions induced by poverty and the increasing disconnect between factions in our society linked to the avoidance of these areas in favor of higher-paying jobs? What might happen if we were allowed to redirect our energy and resourc­ es to the greater good in more direct ways? Mark Ravenstahl may have found his calling as a young political leader. But our genera­ tion might find that it's a good idea to take time to slow down a bit and really analyze our poten­ tial as human beings at this time without the distraction of major responsibilities.

As far as I know, the only two-word state school in the country that has the state first is Indiana University. Yes, KU is The University of Kansas. NU is the The University of Nebraska. OU, while certainly sucking, is The University of Oklahoma. Please, from now on, don't screw this up. It's aggravating and in the words of that famous newsman Ron Burgundy, it's "bush."

The purpose of the forum s w as to give the candidates an opportunity to interact with the com m unity and obtain public feedback, said City M anager Toby Futrell, w ho will make the final hiring decision w ithin the next two weeks. A round 45 people initially showed up to the first forum, but the num ber dw indled to only six by the end of the afternoon. Public feedback can also be subm itted via e-mail, fax or mail. The police m onitor handles com m unity com ­ plaints against the Austin Police D epartm ent, m onitors practices and investigations of APD and m akes policy recom m endations to the chief of police, according to the Office of the Police M onitor's mission statem ent. "They're not an advocate for the police offi­ cer or an advocate for the com plainant," said Mike Sheffield, Austin Police Association presi­ dent. "They're sim ply there as a neutral third party to give that assurance that we are holding ourselves accountable." The rem aining candidates are Susan Hutson, a form er assistant attorney and acting police m onitor; Clifford Brown, a form er Travis C ounty prosecutor; and Jaime Flores, a former Laredo assistant attorney general. The audience asked questions about how candidates expected to accomplish their goals w ithin strict contract stipulations, which reduce the position to a largely advisory role. Primary concerns included how candidates plan on reducing the disparity between police treat­ m ent of citizens in East Austin com pared to other areas and im proving public knowledge of the police m o n ito r's office. All three candidates said trust, transparency and understanding were im portant in develop­ ing com m unity relationships. "We w ant a police monitor that understands discipline and accountability are what make a good police force" Debbie Russell, board m em ber for the Central Texas chapter o f the American Civil Liberties Union "We're trying to lessen the fear," Hutson said. "People tell us all the time that they're afraid." H utson said her main goal was to "provide a level playing field" between the police d ep art­ m ent and the community. She hopes to create com m unity advisory groups, provide more statistics to the public and improve relations between officers and citizens. Brown said he w ould em phasize education and training and w ould be proactive in foster­ ing com m unity relationships. He proposed officer visits to local high schools and role- playing in police academ y training to prom ote empathy. "I d o n 't think the police m onitor can be a reactionary figurehead that reacts to tragedies and things that happen," Brown said. Flores, w ho moved from Austin back to his hom etown of Laredo 10 years ago, was the only out-of-tow n candidate, which allowed him to bring a new perspective, he said. Flores said he w ants to establish himself as a good listener and problem -solver who "looks to build consensus and looks to understand both sides of every issue." In the feedback session, the public com m ent­ ed on the candidates' experience and accom­ plishm ents, body language and motivations. Austin is one of fewer than 50 cities nation­ wide w ith a police oversight agency, but some critics say it still lacks sufficient authority. Debbie Russell, board m em ber for the Central Texas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, said the m o nitor's position doesn't have the power it needs to help the public because it "was w atered-dow n from the task force that envisioned it in the first place." "It is not, at this point, an office that instills any sense of confidence in the com m unity if in fact [com munity members] have fallen to some injustice," Russell said. "We w ant a police m on­ itor that understands discipline and account­ ability are w hat make a good police force." The rem aining three candidates were select­ ed by the city m anager from a pool of 12 applicants reviewed by a panel composed of city staff and com m unity representatives, said Michael McDonald, acting assistant city man­ ager.

Katrina evacuees can continue receiving rental assistance through February 2007 and Rita evacu­ ees have until March, said FEMA spokeswoman Franceska Ramos. The amount of rental assistance each person receives depends on their income and need, she said. Various organizations were also available at the clinic, held in the gymnasium of the Reflections of Christ's Kingdom Church on E. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The 13 organizations helped evacu­ ees obtain health care information, proper identification and other ser­ vices. The volunteer group Mobile Loaves and Fishes provided the evacuees with food and water dur­ ing the clinic.

Disaster Response organized the clinic, which was open from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., and served 188 people by 6 p.m., said Amy Elder, the organization's executive director. "It's been a community effort. We kind of facilitate it," Elder said. She said the event was publi­ cized to evacuees through the media, FEMA caseworkers and fli­ ers given to the rental properties where evacuees live. 1-year-old Darryana Hamey, was one of them. Allen sat quietly while waiting for her case number to be called. She has been in Austin since Katrina hit her home in New Orleans' Uptown neighborhood and said she will stay put until the situation in her city improves. "They're not fixing up the poor parts of town," Allen said. "They don't have a lot of hospitals or schools, but everything's pretty good here."

The confer­ ence, which began Thursday, is open to the public and explores discussion in areas such as real­ ity television, political resistance in the media and feminist televi­ sion. Flow, an online bi-weekly pub­ lication of television and media studies, was created to provide an outlet in which teachers, stu­ dents, professionals and the pub­ lic can discuss the media. Two UT radio-television-film graduates, Christopher Lucas and Avi Santo, launched the Web site in 2004. The radio-television- film department sponsors Flow. Brandon Baker, Flow column editor and radio-television-film graduate student, said the con­ ference consisted of 28 round­ table discussions each led by four to six panelists.

In September, U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings said colleges and universities lack data on the educational performance. To meet this demand, Fisher said the office will expand time and resources to conduct more in-depth institutional research on topics such as graduation rates. "We're also wanting to expand our focus to include more of what our internal leadership needs to manage the University," Fisher said. More in-depth research will be done to better inform deans on how their faculty and students are performing, Fisher said. "Primarily because of resource issues, this office has been predomi­ nately focused on getting our state and federal reports," she said. The University has a few data-col- lection systems around campus that have grown up over time, Fisher said. The office will work more closely to streamline their efforts, Fisher said. — Jessica Sondgeroth New dean appointed at UT Medical Branch at Galveston Dr. Garland D. Anderson took over as dean of the UT Medical Branch at Galveston's School of Medicine Wednesday. President Dr. John D.

During his tenure, the department ranked among the top 20 in National Institutes of Health research fund­ ing, and most recently was ranked fourth in the nation, according to a UTMB statement. Anderson has been serving as interim dean for the school since September, after controversy arose earlier in the summer surrounding UTMB's plan to erase the operating deficit from its budget by laying off about 1,000 people.

"The worlds of entertain­ ment and education are merg­ ing," said John- Flartley, panelist and Queensland University of Technology professor. "People are finding ways to learn and express themselves through the media." S te p h a n ie T u szy n sk i, University of Toledo professor, said YouTube.com, a consumer media company, is an example of a media source allowing anyone with a camera and Internet to self-broadcast. YouTube's popu­ larity is not stable because its viewers, mainly teenagers, are the most fickle market, she said. Panelists went on to discuss YouTube and its effects on the future of television viewership. "YouTube will break barriers into media entry," said Santo, a communications professor at Old Dominion University. "Anybody can now create media and the consumers have become the pro­ ducers."

"We really need to think about restaurant eating behaviors," she said. "Just by eating out and not being careful with your food choice, people could be gain­ ing weight and not really realize what's happening." Amanda Mellowspring, a regis­ tered dietitian for University Health Services, said she agreed restaurant environments support overeating with fast music, buffet-style service and appetizing pictures. University students struggle with healthy eating because of their lim­ ited time and money, Mellowspring said. Students overeat under stress and tend to favor fast food, which is cheaper, she said. Timmerman suggested restau­ rants adopt a policy of providing nutrition information on menus. Portion control is another way to control binge eating, she said. "It is not easy for students to take healthy food," said Stefanie Sustaita, a radio-television-film sophomore. Although worried about the health risks of fast food, she said restaurants' environments do not affect her because she rarely has enough time to sit down and eat. University Health Services began a three-week, nondiet weight management class this semester. Students leam how to manage weight without dieting and leam lifestyle skills like meal planning, Mellowspring said. "People may need more educa­ tion first," she said. "Nutrition facts alone will not work well." /nThe Princeton Review RESTAURANT Unlimited Local Unlimited TEXT, Caller 10, Picture M Bring this ad to get a FREE standard car charger & holder or case 2004 GUADALUPE *494-8300 Me soooo Hungry!( W ant free pizza for a year!?!

This is not just another home game. "We'll get a good match [tonight] that will prepare us for the playoffs," Texas coach Chris Petrucelli said. "It's going to be a high-intensity and high-level match. It will be a good warm-up for the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments." The Sta Farm Lone Star Showdown pits No. 9 Texas against No. 5 Texas A&M. For Texas, senior leader­ ship will be a key for success tonight.

'It's nice having some confidence going into the game knowing that we've beat them before and we can beat them again." Burlingham and her senior cohorts can provide experi­ ence and poise in a big-game atmosphere.

The sophomore has com­ pleted 245 passes this year in 356 attempts and aver­ ages more than 313 yards per game in the air. The Texas secondary has pro prospects in Aaron Ross and Michael Griffin, but with the help of a rash of injuries, they're ranked ninth in the Big 12 in pass­ ing defense, giving up 221.1 yards per game. Head coach M ack Brown d oesn't consider injuries an excuse for their trouble, but he's been impressed with how co-defensive coordinator Duane Akina has handled the adversity. "Duane has done an amazing job, to me, of hold­ ing the secondary together," he said. If the secondary comes apart Saturday under Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach's relentless attack, you can probably write off Texas' chances in the game. Ross, a senior defensive back, leads the team with four intercep­ tions and looks forward to the extra pressure, saying he wanted to see as many pass­ es as possible. He doesn't expect all of them to be clas­ sic plays either. "I'm pretty sure they're going to come out with some trick plays," he said. "That's what we've been getting beat on." Since that game day is only three days prior to Halloween, his predic­ tions seem accurate. You wouldn't expect Tech to treat the Texas defense, if given a choice. But that's where Tim Crowder and the rest of the defensive line come in. "We don't have to play the run as much, and we can show our pass-rush moves," Crowder said The senior has 8.5 sacks already this season and knows double-digit num­ bers may be within reach Saturday. "It's like a no-hitter," he said while declining to talk much about the mark. Crowder did say that he wasn't going to make any season-total goals — that would be limiting himself. If Crowder and Ross per­ form well, the Longhorn defense will be well on their way to stopping Tech's offense.

If they can stay healthy, Phoenix should be a force to be reckoned with in the Western Division and will get over the hump. » S E E P A G E 2 B Details emerge in TCU rape case Three former Texas Christian University athletes accused of raping a fellow student laughed during the incident, one of the men told police. Because she was uncon­ scious during much of the Oct. 13 attack in the men's dormi­ tory rooms, the 18-year-old victim first thought she'd been raped by only one of the men, Virgil Allen Taylor, 19, accord­ ing to arrest warrant affidavits obtained by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. But the alleged role of the two other accused students — Shannon Behling, 19, and Lorenzo Jones, 20 — did not surface until police inter­ viewed Taylor, who implicated Behling. The affidavit states that an interview with Behling then revealed the involvement of Jones. When they were arrested last week, Behling was a sophomore basketball forward, Taylor a former basketball player, and Jones a nose tackle who had been cut from the football team the week before. Officials say that the investi­ gation is continuing. — The Associated Press Mens swimming ranked third The Longhorn men's swim team is opening the year with high expectations, and those expectations are being recog­ nized nationally. The College Swimming Coaches Association of America preseason poll released earlier this week has Texas in a tie for third place with the University of Florida. Both teams collected 214 points. The Longhorns find them­ selves looking up to defending national champion Auburn, which received seven of the eight first place votes and 239 points, and perennial powerhouse Stanford, which received the other first place vote and 232 points. Head coach Eddie Reese believes the poll is a fair rep­ resentation of his team and others. "Third is a pretty good read on us for right now," said Reese. "Overall, I wouldn't change many of the teams in there." The Longhorns are in the midst of a three-week layoff since the team's victory at the Big 12 Relays on Oct. 13. The team will begin a stretch of three meets in three weeks beginning with a meet against California and Indiana on Nov. 3 and 4. With the meets coming up, Reese has lowered the dry­ land workouts for the team. "We're training very hard, and they are doing a very nice job," Reese said. "They're able to recover on a daily basis so their swimming is still good." Jason Sweeten | Daily Texan Staff Michael Griffen pauses during Texas gam e against Nebraska on Saturday. Griffen finished the gam e with eight tackles, one for a loss, and an interception. Texas w on 22-20. will likely rely on Selvin Young, Jamaal Charles and the offensive line. While the Red Raiders lead the confer­ ence in pass coverage, their run defense has proved a weakness. "I feel like we'll establish a running game early on and be able to run the foot­ ball this week," quarterback Colt McCoy said. While Tech has struggled this year, the Longhorns can't for take anything granted in the Panhandle. Their last loss against an in­ state opponent was in 2002, and it was the Red Raiders piling up 42 points against them in the win. In fact, Brown-coached Texas teams have only lost three times against Texas schools, and Tech in Lubbock proved a disastrous combination in 1998 as well. Tech's fans contribute more than just tortillas to their opponents' experience. In contrast to Nebraska's cordial the bunch in Lubbock is known as rowdy. folk, "They'll be up there tail- gating, probably tonight, getting sauced up for the game," senior Justin Blalock said on Monday. Ross agreed, saying he was pretty sure they were "wired up" as the week began. Unable to avoid crowd jeers, the agile comer hasn't been hit by any of the edible projectiles. "I've seen them fly my way though," he said. Coaching troika breaks the mold f) Daily Texan Columnist By Eric Ransom When coaches meet at midfield for postgame handshakes, do you ever wonder what they say? It might be sweet nothings, an insult or two. But it might also be an agreement on what cliches they'll spout off at halftime. By and large, college football coaches are pretty boring. You can make a long, great career on a sim­ ple gameplan and a tight fist over your message to the public. If college football coaches were any more square, as Jim Murray once said, they'd be divisible by four. A trio of coaches are bucking the trend, including Tech's pirate king, Mike Leach. It could be the play-calling. It could be the personality. Urban Meyer is the newest post­ er boy for the innovative offense. Two seasons ago, Meyer and his Utah Utes destroyed Texas A&M in their opening game and rolled to a 13-0 record. Even with Bailey, kicking game not set By William Wilkerson Daily Texan Staff After all that, he still doesn't have a girlfriend? How could it be? Tim Crowder was sure’ that Ryan Bailey's bachelor status would change after his 22-yard field goal helped Texas defeat Nebraska. "Shoot, he's going to have to No girlfriend, no problem for the guy that Colt McCoy called the new "big man on campus." "Past couple of days have been a little crazy," Bailey said. "Walking around campus is fun. Sometimes people congrat­ ulate me. My friends give me a hard time. I have a lot of family calling. Pretty much just like a normal day." Normality has never seemed so good. Bailey's status as the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week has certainly amplified his status quo. Before his kick, few outside of the Longhorns kicking circle could have recog­ nized him. "I was in the huddle, and I turned around and saw No. 39.1 thought 'Is [defensive end Brian Robison] kicking?"' offensive lineman Justin Blalock joked. When Mack Brown was asked after the game if Bailey was on the team last season, Brown winced and said, "I don't know." Brown definitely knows he's on the team this season, and there is certainly no need for an introduction. "Last week he was my study buddy in physics," Aaron Ross said. "This week he's the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week." But what's next the "Family Guy"-loving, rap-spit­ ting BMOC is anyone's guess. for Bailey was thrust into the hero-or-goat role in Lincoln, Neb., after place kicker Greg Johnson had reaggravated a groin pull earlier in the game. Both Bailey and Johnson are listed as starters against Texas Tech. "I'm not sure yet [who will kick]. We'll decide that later on," Brown said. "But Hunter [Lawrence], Greg and Ryan have all been kicking for us, and they all have a chance to do it this weekend. With Greg being sore last week, the kickoffs are set [with Lawrence], but the punting, field goals and extra points are in question until we see how [Johnson's] health is." Bailey was taken back when asked what it would be like to have another opportunity to kick. "If it happened again, it would be crazy. I never thought some­ thing like that would happen," KICKER continues on page 3B Rob Carr | Associated Press choose," Crowder said. Urban Meyer's pass-heavy offensive schem es make him one of the wackiest coaches in college football. Alex Smith is taken No. 1 in the NFL draft, and Meyer heads to Florida, where the Gators are still trying to install the same offense. Meyer's scheme, once considered a wacky idea, is being emulated at other campuses. And Meyer could be dryer than a bucket full of chalk, but his teams tend to be on the radar because of the innovative offense. On the reverse side, Pete Carroll of USC is straight-laced from a football standpoint as a defensive- minded coach. But single out his personality, and Carroll falls under the wacky category as well. In his NFL days, Carroll was known as a happy-go-lucky type, even prone to riding his bike to the Patriots' stadium. At USC, his plan was to make football fun again. He opens prac­ tices to the public and invites Snoop Dogg to the locker room. For Halloween last year, Carroll and running back LenDale White staged an argument during prac­ tice. Carroll kicked White out of practice, and the argument contin­ ued until the two reached the top of the parking garage overlooking the practice field. His players saw Carroll toss White over the side, thinking their coach just murdered the star running back. Of course, it was all a stunt. Another day in Carroll's football world. Leading up to the Rose Bowl last year, Carroll was deemed a coach­ ing genius with his high-rolling offense. But he also rambled on all sorts of things in the press confer­ ences, even likening Reggie Bush's running style to a jazz musician. "The better you get at your skills, whether you're a piano player or a horn player or an athlete or basket­ ball player shooting hoops, what­ ever it is, the better you get and the more confidence that you acquire through your experiences, the more freedom and the more free-flowing RAN SO M continues on page 3B — Adam Pielamowicz What was the end result for the team with the spread option? 2B NBA COUNTDOWN 3 Days 3. Phoenix Suns Last season: 54-28, First Pacific Division The Suns were a long shot last year to do much damage in the West. After losing leading scorer Amare Stoudemire from the previous season, Phoenix wasn't predicted to go further than the Conference Semifinals. However, by beating both the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers in seven-game series, the Suns found themselves in the same position as the year before — in the Western Conference Finals. They were defeated in six games by the Dallas Mavericks. Offseason moves: Both Tim Thomas and Eddie House left Phoenix to sign deals elsewhere. The Suns signed center Sean Marks and swingmen Erick Piatkowski and Jumaine Jones. Strengths: The up-tempo style of Phoenix's offense is their greatest strength. Few teams are able to run with the Suns, as they are one of the most athleti­ cally gifted teams in the league. Amare Stoudemire's return should spell good fortune for Phoenix. If he stays healthy, they should be able to estab­ lish a good interior presence once again, something they dreadfully lacked last season. Steve Nash, of course, is a huge asset, and as long as he's play­ ing, he will be able to create Phoenix's offense. Weaknesses: Depth is still a critical issue this year. If they are unable to get good pro­ duction from their free-agent signings, then the Suns will be even worse Tf than they were during last year's playoffs. Health could potentially be an issue for Stoudemire. His knee surgery last year could cause him to lose his explosiveness. Defense is still a big question mark for the Suns as well, as they were third-worst in points allowed last season. Stoudemire and possibly Kurt Thomas'presence in the frontcourt might be able to alleviate some of the defensive woes of Phoenix. — Philip Clark S p o u t s Friday, October 27, 2006 VO LLEYBALL Horns look to get high seed in NCAA tourney By Anup Shah Daily Texan Staff The slightest w hisper about it is bound to drive any coach crazy. But at som e point or another, the topic becomes inevitable. For No. 8 Texas volleyball, an NCA A tour­ nam ent bid is just around the comer. The only question right now is w here they'll sit in the bracket. Riding on the heels of six victories in seven matches, the Longhorns are trying to m ake a push to regain that spot in the top five that they so valiantly earned after the Time W arner Invitational seven w eeks ago. O n W ednesday, Texas dem o lish ed Texas Tech in L ubbock 3-1. But w h a t w as m ore im p o rta n t ab o u t the victory w as the fact that they d id n 't play d o w n to the level of their o p p o n e n t — a t least after the first gam e. After dropping a heartbreaker in the first series 31-29, the L onghorns cam e back and w on three consecutive gam es w ith three con­ sistent perform ances — reflected by the scores of 30-21,30-19, 30-21. Along w ith learning to play consistently as a team , Texas is learning that every player needs to be m ore consistent. O ne of the biggest problem s for the L onghorns has been individual consistency. There has been a tendency for different play­ ers to step up one night and then falter the following match. jun io r setter Michelle M oriarty is an excep­ tion to that trend, putting up 13.61 assists per gam e — an average that has hardly shifted since the season began. O ne player w ho the L onghorns believe is really starting to com e along and have relied heavily upon in their last seven m atches is freshm an outside hitter D estinee Hooker. The reigning Big 12 Player of the Week has aver­ aged 21 kills per m atch over her last five perform ances. But w h at has im pressed her team m ates and coaches even m ore has been how m uch H ooker has m atured in the last few weeks. "I'm learning to be m ore patien t o u t there, and I'm not trying to force anything big," H ooker said after Texas 3-2 w in over Oklahom a. The last fault that Texas has been m aking on the court is their inability to close out games. Texas has failed to finish off a team seven tim es this season — tw o of w hich resulted in a loss. A gainst O klahom a on Saturday, the Longhorns found them selves w ith a com fort­ able 2-0 lead but allow ed O klahom a to climb back and force them to a fifth game. D espite w inning the m atch, Texas head coach Jerritt Elliott w as not pleased w ith his team not being able to close out the match. "It's alw ays unfortunate w hen you can go up 2-0 and not be able to close out the m atch," Elliott said. "It's one of the things w e'll be w orking on for the rest of this season." Yet, despite the flaws, the Longhorns are finally starting to figure out w hat they need to do to be in contention for the national title. KICKER: Walk-on not fazed by attempt to ice him From page 16 he said. "I always thought m y first kick w ould have been an extra point. It w as extra point distance, but I put a little extra on it." Even if the book closes on Bailey's epic adventure, he'd still have memories to last him a lot lon­ ger than it took for his "chip-shot field goal" to split the uprights. He rem em bers H enry Melton talking about staying calm, despite a surrounding environm ent that w as enhanced the Memorial Stadium record crowd of 85,187. "Just Jordan like practice," Shipley, the holder, rem inded him before the kick. tenfold by He spun rap songs in his head, as Nebraska coach Bill Callahan tried to freeze him by calling two timeouts and asking the officials to review the Longhorns' previous third-down pass, which the Comhuskers were hoping w as intercepted. Through it all, there was one m om ent that stood out more than the rest. "Actually, the only thing I really rem em ber about being on the field was w hen the offensive line turned around and said 'Let's just block for 1.3 seconds,"' he said. "Just give him a chance to get the ball off." Afterwards, Blalock, one of those linemen, w as asked if he knew Bailey. "I could pick him out of a lineup. I don't think anyone is going to say they hang out w ith kickers," he said. Think again. RANSOM: Texas Tech coach combines way-out offense with kooky personality From page IB and the m ore room there is for im provisation," Carroll said. W hile M eyer brought innova­ tion to the schemes and Carroll personality to the sidelines, there's also Mike Leach. In a w acky sense, h e's the p er­ fect storm. It m ig h t be o v erb lo w n , b u t Leach is a rarity am ong coaches. First of all, h e n e v e r p la y e d college football. H e e a rn e d a law d eg re e from P e p p e rd in e , an d he enjoys le a rn in g ab o u t p irates. Plus, he Ls always good for a laugh But m ore im portantly, his Red Raiders play the spread offense to the extreme. H e'd use six or seven receivers the N CA A w ould allow offensive tackles to be eligible. if Some m ight w rite Tech's offense off as gimmicky, but teams like Baylor are em ulating w hat Tech has done w ith the pass under Leach. So w ith M eyer's offensive inno­ vation and Carroll's sense of fun, Leach m ight have the w inning combination. But do those w ins translate to the football field? T hat's just another w acky thing about foot­ ball. W O M E N 'S S W I M M I N G First meet today against Stanford By Colby White Daily Texan Staff The L onghorn w om en will have their first hom e event of the season today w ith a tw o-day sw im m eet against Stanford.

No. 9 Texas A&M faces off against No. 25 Oregon State and a Beaver upset could see the Longhorns in the top 10. Playing in A ustin could m ake the difference for Texas in such a pivotal meet. "It's parents w eekend," said freshm an sw im m er Alex Basso. "There should be a lot of energy in the pool." Basso p u t u p her first tw o col­ legiate w ins in as m any races in Texas' last m eet against Nebraska. She w ill look to m ake an im pact against Stanford. "I think she's on the right track," Brackin said. "She raced an event that w asn 't necessarily hers. T hat w as fun to see." But Brackin isn't ready to start praising her team yet. She is fully aw are of last y ear's disappoint­ m ent against the Cardinals, in w hich a No. 4 ranked Stanford team beat No. 7 Texas 192-156. "It w as one of their best per­ form ances of the season," said Brackin. T h e n -so p h o m o re B rooke Bishop had six w ins (four indi­ vidual, tw o relays) in that m eet to Bishop will likely be in her usual form in this year's meet. She posted three w ins (two indi­ vidual, one relay) in Stanford's last m eet of this season and could pose problem s for Texas this year. But Bishop isn't the only sw im ­ m er Texas is w orried about. "Stanford is pretty unknow n. They have a very large freshm an class," said Brackin. "You d o n 't know w hat freshmen are going to do." A m ong those freshm en are Julia Smit and Elaine Breeden, w ho each posted two individual w ins in the C ardinal's last meet. They will be in attendance and ready for the big stage. The m eet betw een the sw im ­ m ing juggernauts will be betw een the tw o m ost decorated w om en's sw im m ing and diving program s in term s of NCAA team titles. Stanford is on top w ith eight titles to Texas' seven. With that statistic in the air, both team s can't help but think this m ay be a M arch preview. "I like o u r team 's perspec­ tive," Brackin said. "W hat w e do in October and N ovem ber is in preparation for March." SOCCER: Aggies have myriad offensive threats From pagelB forw ard Melissa Garey told The Bryan Eagle. "N o pressure, just go in there and m ake it happen. Being undefeated says a lot about a team. I think we have enough heart to do it, and it will m ean a lot to clinch it, again, in A ustin." The Aggies have a num ber of players w ho are offensive threats, and that's w hat m akes them so dangerous. They have four play­ ers w ho have tallied five or more goals this season, w ith senior forw ard Suzzette Devloo leading the w ay w ith nine goals. Texas' defense will need to step up and limit the scoring chances for this potent A&M offense. The Aggies have only lost twice on the road all season, versus UCLA and Santa Clara, but that w as back in early September. After third -straig h t clinching Big 12 title against M issouri on Sunday, expect A&M to com e out w ith a bit of swagger. their The Longhorns m ight have the advantage in m otivation though.

TexasSports.com Cardinals win 5-4 to take 3-1 lead in World Series St. Louis Cardinals'Jeff Suppan d e liv­ ers a pitch to D etroit Tigers'Curtis Granderson in the first inning o f Gam e 4 of the W orld Series on Thursday in St. Louis. Charles Krupa Associated Press BASEBALL By M ike Fitzpatrick The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — With some help from a soggy field and two big hits by little David Eckstein, the St. Louis Cardinals took con­ trol of the World Series with a wild come­ back win. Eckstein's tiebreaking double glanced off the glove of a diving Craig Monroe in left field in the eighth inning, and the Cardinals capitalized on Detroit's sloppy defense for a 5-4 victory Thursday night in Game 4. After Curtis Granderson slipped in cen­ ter field on a key play trying for another ball hit by Eckstein, rekindling memories of Curt Flood in the 1968 Series between these teams, St. Louis took a 3-1 lead to move within one win of its first championship in 24 years. Jeff Weaver can w rap it up Friday night at Busch Stadium when he pitches against rookie Justin Verlander. Each lost his first start in this Series. One word of caution, Cardinals fans: St. Louis had a 3-1 lead in '68, too, before Detroit rallied to win behind lefty Mickey Lolich. The decisive hit that time came when Flood, a Gold Glove center fielder, slipped on Jim Northrup's two-out, two-run triple off Cardinals ace Bob Gibson to break a scoreless tie in the seventh inning of Game 7 — right across the street, where the old Busch Stadium stood. This time, the 5-foot-7 Eckstein hit three doubles and a single as St. Louis overcame an early 3-0 deficit to close in on its 10th World Series title. The last team to squander a 3-1 Series lead, however, was the 1985 Cardinals against Kansas City. After a rainout W ednesday night, only the second World Series washout in 20 years, showers were expected again Thursday. But the heavy stuff stayed away on a 53-degree night and much of the back- and-forth game was played in a light mist that obscured the Gateway Arch beyond center field. The mist got heavier in the sixth, how­ ever, and the Tigers began to struggle with the elements. With St. Louis trailing 3-2 in the seventh, Eckstein hit a drive to right-center that Granderson appeared to have in his sights before he slipped to the slick turf, kicking up a huge divot. The ball fell for an easy double. Pinch-hitter So Taguchi dropped down a sacrifice bunt, and reliever Fernando Rodney threw the ball way over the head of Placido Polanco covering at first base, allowing Eckstein to score the tying run. It was the fourth error by a Tigers pitcher in four games, a record for one pitching staff in the World Series. After an intentional walk to Albert Pujols and two strikeouts, Preston Wilson singled to left against Rodney to give St. Louis a 4-3 lead. But Ivan Rodriguez opened the eighth with a double and Brandon Inge tied it with a double off rookie closer Adam Wainwright, who avoided further damage by striking out pinch-hitter Alexis Gomez and Granderson. That set the stage for St. Louis' final rally. Yadier Molina drew a leadoff walk from Joel Zumaya before Aaron Miles beat out a potential double-play ball. Miles moved up when strike three to Juan Encamación got past Rodriguez for a wild pitch, and Eckstein hit a drive to left-center. Monroe sprinted to his left and laid out with a desperate dive, but the ball ticked off the tip of his glove. The left fielder lay prone on the grass as Miles scored the go- ahead run. Wainwright set down Detroit in order in the ninth to the delight of the red-clad crowd. Orange team wins intrasquad game By Ricky Treon Daily Texan Staff ROUND ROCK — Texas coach is preaching Augie Garrido patience, and his congregation is listening. With the first game of Texas' intrasquad Fall World Series tied at 4-4, the Orange team took the lead in the top of the eighth off two opposite-field singles from Todd Gilfillan and Nick Peoples, helping the Orange to a 6-4 win Saturday at Dell Diamond. "We've been spending a lot of time on pitch selection," Garrido said. "That's something w e're focusing on." Gilfillan led off the inning with a single to right, followed by a Kyle Lusson sacrifice bunt. Peoples then pushed another hit dow n the right-field line, and Gilfilan rounded third. Kyle Russell's throw beat Gilfillan to home plate, but Brett Lewis couldn't handle the ball, and the Orange took the final lead of the game. That's the kind of hitting Garrido is looking for. While Peoples and Gilfillan used patient hitting to get singles, that's not the only way Garrido's offensive teachings have helped the Longhorns this fall. is using Kyle Russell that approach to put a hurting on the ball. The sophomore went 3-5 Thursday, including a three-run, line-drive homer that cleared the left-field wall by just a few feet. "I feel more comfortable at the plate than in the past,' Russell said. "I'm cutting down on the Ks. I've only struck out once this fall." That's also the product of more patience at the plate. The Orange team won the game despite the absence of junior start­ ing pitcher Adrian Alaniz, who was slated to start the game but suffered an injury to his hand during warm­ ups. Garrido said the hand would likely have to be X-rayed. The Orange team got an insur­ ance run in the top of the ninth off a double from freshman Russell Moldenhauer, and the visitors finished off the game with some hustle out of Peoples. The senior outfielder made a full-out diving catch to end the game with the tying run at the plate. This may only be a scrim­ mage, but there's still something to play for. "We take this pretty serious. Some guys are still fighting for a spot," Peoples said. "We're all Longhorns, but right now we're two different teams." Make your mom proud. Get your picture taken!

This b rillian t film dances on the fine line between genius and insanity, and it w ould be too far-fetched to identify w ith if it were not actually based on the m em oirs of the central character, Augusten Burroughs (Joseph Cross). The m ovie opens w ith a 6-year-old Augusten putting his m other's hair into curlers as she calls his school to let them know he'd be home sick because he "over-conditioned his hair." It becomes obvious Augusten idolizes his amateur-poet mother, Deidre (Annette Benning), as he m im ics her depressive at-home poetry readings. W atching Burroughs struggle through childhood in the 1970s w ith an alcoholic father, Norm an (A lec Baldw in), and a narcissistic m other is uncom fortable. Eventually, Deidre begins to see a deranged psychiatrist, Dr. Finch (Brian Cox), who plays the puppet master as the fam ily falls apart. Deidre basically sells Augusten to her demented therapist in hopes of him having a better life, but watching Augusten live w ith the truly neurotic Finch fam ily is more than uncom fortable, it is painful. W hile stuck in this looney bin, young Augusten finds com panion­ ship from N atalie (Evan Rachel W ood), the rebel Finch sister, and through dating another patient- turned-adopted-son, 35-year-old schizophrenic, Bookman (Joseph Fiennes). "N ip /Tuck" creator Ryan M urphy directed and wrote the screen adaptation for this cynical and darkly humorous film . The combination of a warped fam ily and Gwyneth Paltrow 's performance as one of the doctor's daughters is reminiscent of "The Royal Tenenbaums," but the variety and extent of the Finch fam ily's oddities makes the Tenenbaums look like a cookie-cutter, suburban fam ily. W itty hum or and an all-star cast keep the audi­ ence from being weighed down by such hefty issues. Even if you do not identify personally w ith the characters, you can leave the theatre feeling as good about their perform ances as about not having anything in common w ith them. Ex h ib it b r in g s LIFE TO DEATH Mexic-Arte Museum celebrates holiday with effigies, memorials By Chris Thorburn Daily Texan Staff C olorful crosses are easy to spot am idst the brown grass, rock and concrete. They stick out like sore thumbs among the rugged landscape dissected by massive Texas highways. As memori­ als of loved ones, these crosses are sprinkled aside many roads through­ out the Southwest and are somewhat of a m ystery to passersby's unfam iliar w ith the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos. In Am erica, death does not typi­ cally lead to hearty celebrations. O ur burial rituals are somber and quiet. A person, like their peers, dressed in black delivers a eulogy. Funerals are a gathering where friends and rela­ tives can reconnect w ith one another and reminisce about the deceased. However, for the ever-growing num­ ber of Mexican im migrants, death is seen w ith different eyes. W hile the translation evokes imag­ es of a spooky Halloween-like event, Dia de los Muertos serves as a day to celebrate those who have passed on. The festive colors, great food and lively interaction give stark contrast to the standard Am erican look at death. The spirited festival laid its roots almost 3,000 years ago in the Aztec em pire. O f course, it has grown throughout the centuries into the cultural phenomenon today, which covers a significant portion of the Americas. In celebration of life, death and art the Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin is running an exhibition displaying vari­ ous effigies and memorials in the tra­ Top, "La Mujer es Vida," an altar built by Elva Maria Salinas, is on display at the Mexic-Arte Museum through Nov. 5 as part of the 23rd annual Dia de Los Muertos exhibition.

Thursday unfazed by shift in fan base By Eddie Strait Daily Texan Staff H ailing from the much m aligned state of New Jersey, Thursday is about to turn 10. A t a time when most were being hit w ith the puber­ ty stick, singer Geoff Rickly, alongé •side guitarist Tom Keeley, guitarist B ill Henderson, bassist Tim Payne and drummer Tucker Rule, were forming a band that would carry the flag for the emo genre, bringing legitim acy to the table. After releasing records on inde­ pendent labels like Eyeball and Victory, the band got its call up to the majors and signed w ith Island Def Jam . As a band, Thursday has seen their popularity take off since its inception in 1997, reaching its peak following its 2003 record War AH the Time. But what a difference three years can make. In 2003, Thursday was a band that was on the verge of a break­ through of epic proportions. Its major label debut on Island Def Jam , War All the Time, hit the charts at No. 7. A t the time, it was ludi­ crous to think an emo band could break into the top of any list. The band's first week numbers were overshadowed by then-label mate D M X's fifth-straight No. 1 debut. A successful headlining tour follow ed. Ensuing stints w ith A F I and a jaunt on the W arped Tour kept the band's profile high. Then, Thursday w ent on w hat some would call a hiatus. Rum ors abounded about the band's im m i­ nent breakup. As a result, the band took a sabbatical from the public eye. Fast to 2006, and Thursday has returned w ith its strongest effort to date, A City By the Light Dixhded. The band went through a rejuvenation and brought in new producer Dave Fridm ann to help them realize its goals. forward " I think it's im portant to keep playing what you find most excit­ ing about music... and Dave helped us," lead singer Rickly said. Even though most people w ouldn't understand w hy a band w ould take such a long break, band members feels that the break put them in a position to become better as their careers continue. The new record hasn't received the same am ount of attention from m usic buyers as records from bands like Fall O ut Boy and M y Chem ical Romance. This sm aller fan base is something that doesn't faze Thursday. "W e're exactly where w e w ant­ ed to be when we started the band," R ickly said. "Fans come and go. I feel lucky to have the people that have stuck w ith us. I'd rather have passionate fans as opposed to m illions of fans that are passive." Thursday is confident in its audi­ ence, and that confidence shines through when asked about what it is looking forward to the most about its future. "I'm looking forward to watch­ ing Rise Against and Circa Survive every night. It's a great feeling to watch [younger] bands grow up and go through the same things that w e've been through," Rickly said. Experience?
