I took the C and that was the begin¥ning of my defiance.Ó Ñ Steven Roden Artist NEWS PAGE 5 By Christian Corona Daily Texan Staff No. 6 is now No. 1 on the depth chart. Two seasons after his older broth¥er led the Longhorns to the nation¥al title game and two days after he led Texas to a come-from-behind win over BYU, Case McCoy found himself atop the depth chart. He and David Ash were named the co-start¥ers Monday with Garrett Gilbert list¥ed at third string. Gilbert, who is 7-7 as the LonghornsÕ starting quarter¥back, threw his 22nd and 23rd career interceptions against BYU before McCoy relieved him and led Texas to a 17-16 comeback victory. ÒThe one thing that weÕve commit¥ted to is that if somethingÕs not work¥ing, weÕre going to change it,Ó said head coach Mack Brown. ÒThe com¥bination of David and Case worked.Ó It would have come as a huge shock if anyone other than Gilbert would have been named the start¥ing quarterback a week ago but after GilbertÕs lackluster performance Sat¥urday and McCoyÕs inspired one, the decision to make a change at quarter¥back was an easy one. GilbertÕs teammates and coach¥es talked all offseason about how his leadership skills had improved but af¥ter less than three quarters on the field, they are raving about the energy Mc-Coy provides to a huddle that he has established clear command of. ÒWhen Case came in, he immedi¥ately assumed a leadership role,Ó said freshman wide receiver Jaxon Ship¥ley. ÒHe just said, ÔI need yÕall to trust me. IÕm going to take yÕall down and weÕre going to score and weÕre going to win this football game.Ó MCCOY continues on PAGE 7 Thomas Allison | Daily Texan Staff Case McCoy makes a pass in TexasÕ 17-16 victory over BYU Saturday.

Community helps Bastrop fire victims By Nina Hernandez Daily Texan Staff When director Robert Rodri¥guez was a student at UT, he didnÕt have the grades to get into the UniversityÕs Film 1 class. But he did create a short film called ÒBedheadÓ that completely sur¥prised and impressed radio-tele¥vision-film professor Charles Ramirez-Berg. Ramirez-Berg talked about his experiences working with the direc¥tor of ÒSin CityÓ and ÒGrindhouseÓ Professor Charles Ramirez-Berg of the radio¥television-film department lectures at Bass Concert Hall. Jorge Corona Daily Texan Staff Tamir Kalifa | Daily Texan Staff approaching. As roads in the area reopen and people return home in the coming weeks, Bas¥trop residents will know the full extent of damage that has been done to their homes, she said. ÒI think immediately, every¥thing that can be done has been,Ó Allender said. ÒI think trying to find housing and job placement for people who have been displaced will be the next long-term step in moving forward.Ó The fires, which have affected more than 34,000 acres of land, are now approximately 60 percent contained, according to a press re¥lease from Bastrop County.

The burn ban was put in place because of drought conditions that caused the recent wildfires in Bas¥trop County and other areas near Austin, said Victor Ovalle, a spokes¥person for the Parks and Recre¥ation Department of the city of Aus¥tin. The ban will be upheld during the music festival at Zilker Park in downtown Austin, he said. ÒWe are working closely with the producers of ACL on the burn ban and theyÕre on board,Ó Ovalle said. ÒTheyÕve been very understanding of how critical the situation is.Ó Zilker Park is unique in that it has its own irrigation system, Ovalle said. While fires may start in areas surrounding the venue, the risk of fires within the venue itself is not high, he said. ÒEven if people donÕt follow the ban, the chances of getting a fire inside ACL is pretty slim,Ó he said. ÒOur biggest concern is when peo¥ple are leaving the festival or com¥ing to it through surrounding areas. Those areas are pretty dry.Ó The threat of a fire actually start¥ing at ACL is highly unlikely, said ad¥vertising junior Wesley Vanderpool, ACL continues on PAGE 2 By Syeda Hasan Daily Texan Staff The UT community is coming together to support Bastrop resi¥dents affected by the recent wild¥fires spread across the area. Molly Allender, exercise science junior and Bastrop resident of 12 years, said her familyÕs house was not damaged, but several families in her community have lost their homes to the wildfires. ÒThe outpouring has been huge from the Bastrop community and surrounding areas,Ó Allender said. ÒBut at the same time, I donÕt think anything will ever fully make up for whatÕs been lost.Ó Allender said her mother and sister evacuated along with oth¥er residents when the fires were Professor recounts directorÕs early work in a lecture Monday evening at Bass Concert Hall. ÒFor the most part, I donÕt teach production classes,Ó Ramir¥ez-Berg said. ÒSo I didnÕt have a sense of his production talent un¥til I saw that first film. Then it became crystal clear how talent¥ed he was.Ó Ramirez-Berg recounted the conversation he had with Rodri¥guez before the filming of ÒEl Mari¥achi,Ó the 1992 film that kick-start¥ed RodriguezÕs career. The budget for the film was only $7,000. Ramirez-Berg said he was skeptical of the movie, having seen movies with twice the bud¥get that were not very good. Ro¥driguez proved him wrong. Ò[El Mariachi] was so com¥pelling, so vibrant, I had to keep watching,Ó Ramirez-Berg said. ÒHe didnÕt have seven or 70 mil¥lion. He had $7,000.Ó The combination of ÒBedheadÓ and ÒEl MariachiÓ landed Rodri¥guez a contract with Colombia DIRECTOR continues on PAGE 2 City council discusses cuts to police forces, may see rise in crime By Jillian Bliss Daily Texan Staff City council members debated potential cuts to the Austin Police Department on Monday during the first reading and review of the 2012 city budget. Council members discussed and proposed amendments to individu¥al line items on the budget through¥out the day, and a second reading will take place Tuesday at City Hall. The original budget lifted $3 mil¥lion from the police force by delay¥ing cadet class schedules and reduc¥ing overtime for sworn personnel. Council members voted to conduct a study of police force utilization af¥ter much debate about additional cutbacks to APD proposed by coun¥cil member Bill Spelman. While the original budget made room to hire 47 new police force members, Spelman proposed the number be decreased to 31. ÒEssentially [the study] is going to look at what are our communi¥tyÕs goals in terms of public safety, how we are currently using our of¥ficers to meet those goals and what changes we should take to more ef¥fectively use the resources we have,Ó said Barksdale English, policy aide for Spelman. The city currently maintains a ra¥tio of two police officers per 1,000 Austin residents. English said the results of the study could establish the current ratio as sufficient or in¥dicate a need for more or less po¥lice force members. City officials do not yet have a time line for when the study will take place, he said. Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo debated the idea of cutting police officers during the budget reading, stating a decrease in officers would produce a negative outcome. Austin Police Association presi¥dent Wayne Vincent agreed.

The 100-plus page report, based on three months of investigation in Libya, draws no equivalency be¥tween the crimes of Gadhafi loyalists and those of the former rebels, who now hold power in Tripoli: The Gad¥hafi forcesÕ crimes were greater, the list of them is longer, and they may have amounted to crimes against hu¥manity, the report said. But it said the crimes of the rebels were not insignificant. ÒMembers and supporters of the opposition, loosely structured un¥der the leadership of the National Transitional Council (NTC) ... have also committed human rights abus¥es, in some cases amounting to war crimes, albeit on a smaller scale,Ó the Amnesty report said. It said opposition supporters Òun¥lawfully killedÓ more than a dozen Gadhafi loyalists and security offi¥cials between April and early July. And just after the rebels took con¥trol of eastern Libya, the report said, angry groups of rebel supporters Òshot, hanged and otherwise killed through lynchingÓ dozens of cap¥tured soldiers and suspected merce¥naries, with impunity. Mohammed al-Alagi, a justice minister for LibyaÕs transition¥al authorities said that describing the rebels actions as war crimes was wrong. ÒThey are not the military, they are only ordinary people, Ò al-Alagi said. While rebels have made mistakes, he aknowledged, they cannot be described as Òwar crimes at all.Ó In addition, the report said both sides stirred up racism and xenopho¥bia, causing sub-Saharan Africans to be increasingly attacked, robbed and abused by ordinary Libyans. ÒIn February, there was this ru¥mor about Gadhafi using black peo¥ple as mercenaries; thatÕs wrong,Ó Ni¥colas Beger, director of the Amnesty International European Institutions office, told Associated Press Televi¥sion News in Brussels on Monday. ÒBut the NTC has not done a lot to curb that rumor and now there is a lot of retaliation against sub-Saha¥ran Africans.Ó Beger also said abuses were con¥tinuing under the new government. ÒWe have even spoken to guards who admit that they use force,Ó he said. ÒThey say, ÔYeah we use force in order to get confessions, in or¥der to force people to hand in their weapons.Õ So this really needs to be controlled. This is one of the prior¥ities that the new authorities have to really get a clear act on.Ó The report also listed an exten¥sive list of crimes allegedly com¥mitted by GadhafiÕs regime. The loyalists killed and injured scores of unarmed protesters, made crit¥ics disappear, used illegal cluster bombs, launched artillery, mor¥tar and rocket attacks against res¥idential areas, and, without any le¥gal proceedings, executed captives, the report said. Thousands of Libyans were kid¥napped from their homes, mosques and streets, including children as young as 12, the report said. By Erica Werner The Associated Press WASHINGTON Ñ In a sharp challenge to the GOP, President Ba¥rack Obama proposed paying for his costly new jobs plan Monday with tax hikes that Republicans have al¥ready emphatically rejected. The re¥ception to his new proposal was no more welcoming, setting the stage for a likely new fight with Congress. Flanked at the White House by workers he said the legislation would help, Obama declared, ÒThis is the bill that Congress needs to pass. No games. No politics. No de¥lays.Ó He sent it to Capitol Hill say¥ing, ÒThe only thing thatÕs stopping it is politics.Ó The presidentÕs proposal drew criticism from House Speak¥er John Boehner, whoÕd previ¥ously responded in cautious but somewhat receptive tones to the $447 billion jobs plan made up of tax cuts and new spending that Obama first proposed in an ad¥dress to Congress last Thursday. ÒIt would be fair to say this tax increase on job creators is the kind of proposal both parties have op¥posed in the past. We remain eager to work together on ways to support job growth, but this proposal doesnÕt appear to have been offered in that bipartisan spirit,Ó Boehner spokes¥man Brendan Buck said. The biggest piece of the payment plan would raise about $400 bil¥lion by eliminating certain deduc¥tions, including on charitable con¥tributions, that can be claimed by wealthy taxpayers. Obama has pro¥posed that in the past and itÕs been shot down by Republican lawmak¥ers along with some Democrats. At a Rose Garden event Mon¥day, Obama brandished his jobs bill and surrounded himself with po¥lice officers, firefighters, teachers, construction workers and others he said would be helped by it. Adopt¥ing a newly combative tone thatÕs been welcomed by dispirited Dem¥ocrats, Obama demanded immedi¥ate action on the legislation, which the White House sent to Capitol Hill Monday afternoon. The jobs package would com¥bine tax cuts for workers and em¥ployers by reducing the Social Se¥curity payroll tax, with spending elements including more money to hire teachers, rebuild schools and pay unemployment benefits. There are also tax credits to en¥courage businesses to hire veterans and the long-term unemployed. RepublicanshaveindicatedtheyÕre receptive to supporting ObamaÕs proposed payroll tax cut and find¥ing a way to extend unemployment benefits, though many have reject¥ed ObamaÕs planned new spending. ObamaÕs new proposal Monday to pay for it all by raising taxes without any proposals to cut spending is un¥likely to win him any new GOP sup¥port for any element of his plan.

XXXQQEJDPNtt5FYUi11%wUPUPSFDFJWFTUVEZJOGPSNBUJPO Perry: Picture perfect in the primary By Katherine Taylor Daily Texan Columnist Last Wednesday night marked the first time I had ever been excited for a GOP presidential debate. No, I have not decided that the government is too big and simultaneously expanded the Department of Home¥land Security tenfold. Nor have I become a pro-lifer that applauds the death of 234 executed inmates in the past year. In short, I have left the ridiculous incon¥sistencies to the Republican Party. Still, Wednesday night I felt compelled to watch the debate. I was excited because it marked the grand entrance of our own governor onto the national stage. Sure, pri¥or to the debate he had been leading in the polls, but I knew that once the rest of the country finally saw him and really listened to the absurd things he said, they would finally see him for the numskull we all know and dislike here at home. Not only was I disappointed that all the subsequent coverage of the debate has done nothing to stop Gov. Rick PerryÕs surge in the polls, but the guy I was ex¥pecting never showed up. Instead of a bumbling fool who would quickly be laughed out of the national arena, a calm, collected and slightly familiar-looking Perry entered the stage Ñ I say Òslightly familiar,Ó be¥cause at times, I couldnÕt tell the difference between the two leading hopefuls on the stage: Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. I realize youÕre shaking your head right now and pointing out all the obvious differences between them. Romney is a secret Democrat that was one of the first to support universal health care, and Perry is a former Democrat that was one of the first to suggest that Texas secede from the country. But look at the two of them. Both are six-foot¥something white men with huge chests and broad shoulders. Even though theyÕre both presumably mid¥dle aged, they both look as if theyÕre in marathon-run¥ning condition and could bench the average female college studentÕs weight. They both have the stance of men that know theyÕre in good shape and are expect¥ing to be admired for it: chests out, heads held high, feet slightly spread apart. Some might even call them both physically attractive Ñ and compared to the sup¥porting cast on stage, they definitely were. They both were dressed similarly Wednesday night, too. Their ties were the exact same shade of pale blue. Given that the tie is the one chance a nominee has to individualize his dress and set him¥self apart from the giant crowd on stage, Romney LEGALESE Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the UT administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Media Board of Operating Trustees. and Perry both chose the same message to portray, at least via fashion. I donÕt think itÕs any coincidence that these two are the frontrunners of the Republican Party. Both have been strong and commanding governors of their re¥spective states, and both have been lauded nationally for their statewide efforts. Both can point to a rise in employment and pull out the ultimate trump card: a record of job creation. But the sad news is that in the contest of compari¥sons, Perry comes out on top for two key reasons. First, he doesnÕt have to fight for the Tea PartyÕs vote Ñ he already has it, unlike Romney, who keeps beg¥ging them to like him, like the last kid to be picked for dodgeball. But they wonÕt. Not with Perry around. Second, Perry doesnÕt have that whole fancy-pants, rich upbringing that Romney does. While Romney went to private school and served as a Mormon mis¥sionary in France, Perry grew up on a ranch in Paint Creek, Texas, and became an Eagle Scout. Romney comes off as affluent and rich, while Perry is more of the salt-of-the-earth type who gets away with saying things such as Òwe need more boots on the groundÓ to describe actual policy plans. And while thatÕs laugh¥able, itÕs likeable as well. No one wants to pick the big scary businessman over the friendly rancher from next door. Even though I donÕt like Perry, I find myself want¥ing to. Sure, his views on social security are absurd, but heÕs sticking to his guns, so to speak. While he is starting to get a reputation for spouting off, I think he comes across as a straight-shooter. Even though I disagreed with him when he called the current presi¥dent an abject liar, I appreciated the sincerity behind it. Romney, on the other hand, points to his back¥ground as the CEO of Bain & Co., and I canÕt help but be turned offby the implied underhandedness of a leader of such a huge company. To make things worse, I already know heÕs completely reversed positions on health care and abortion, and I find myself wondering what he actually believes about anything. I donÕt think IÕm the only one that feels this way. Perhaps after all our economic and foreign policy woes, the American people just want someone they feel they can trust, which could partly explain PerryÕs continued lead in the polls. Hate to break it to you Romney, but I think Per¥ry pulled off the blue tie better this time around. ItÕs OK Ñ the two of you can still talk about hair-care together. Taylor is a Plan II and rhetoric and writing senior. THE FIRING LINE More than a game Matt Portillo inaccurately describes why Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium fans felt compelled to boo, in his firing line Monday (ÒA reason to be embarassedÓ). I booed in the game after Garrett GilbertÕs second interception, joining many other dedicated fans. Unfortunately, one cannot distinguish between boos intended for an individual athlete from those intended for the coaching staff. My disappointment was with the latter. Although Gilbert has not been on his Òathletic A-gameÓ for almost a year, I have great respect for him and his abilities, but I also support the Longhorns and their chances to win. Booing a student athlete is unacceptable. But Portillo fails to yield judgment to the many responsible Texas fans. Last season, we watched our football team crumble. After the first quarter this Saturday, it appeared that Texas was about to repeat its past performance. The boos were directed at the poor coaching decisions that seemed to jeopardize a year of rebuilding. The football season is directly correlated with important activities at the University, including alumni donations, partnerships and advertis¥ing revenues. After last season, donations stagnated and advertising revenues drastically fell, forcing various supported programs to trim their budgets further. A prime example is Texas Student Media and its properties, including The Daily Texan, which saw a horrible decline in advertising revenues because of last season. So winning one football game or having a successful season mat¥ters across the University and to all who depend on the LonghornsÕ success. ItÕs more than a game. Ñ Tristan Mace Public relations senior From strange ideas come unique works at UT artistsÕ festival By Nick Hadjigeorge Daily Texan Staff Artist Steven Roden creates work out of ideas and concepts, which at first seem to lack structure and meaning. He said the aim of his work is to create art that arises from the tensions of various sources of inspiration that span from any ob¥ject or idea he encounters. Roden gave a lecture yesterday that kicked off the three-part series of events during UTÕs annual Visit¥ing Artist Program. The program has taken place an¥nually for more than 30 years at UT and features three international¥ly known artists of varying media who give a lecture, seminar and an opportunity to critique the work of fine arts graduate students, said Su¥san Whyne, associate professor of studio art and painting. RodenÕs lecture was a chance for him to showcase and explain to an audience the intentions of his work, which included 966 paintings, sculp¥tures, films, sounds and writing that spanned his entire career. Roden began the lecture by showing a watercolor painting he made in the fifth grade that he felt explained the kind of artist he was meant to be. ÒMy art teacher said that my wa¥tercolor technique was bad and told me that if I changed my painting he would give me an A instead of a C,Ó Roden said. ÒI took the C and that was the beginning of my defiance.Ó Roden also presented his work based on translating musical com¥positions into paintings where each color and shape represented a dif¥ferent variable of the music. Roden first painted in this style using 13 variables, but keeping true to his attitude of defiance he pushed this idea to its limits. ÒI upped the ante, and went from 13 variables to 40 through 80,Ó Roden said. ÒI also made 10 itera¥tions of the original information.Ó One aspect of painting this way was to create something that was completely based on another work while making it impossible to trace back to the original. In recent years, RodenÕs work has consisted of using sculpted stones from his late grand¥motherÕs art studio to create impro¥vised paintings similar to his tech¥nique of music translation. He then used the paintings as a basis for gen¥erating new sculptures, Roden said. ÒI wanted to make new work out of these stones,Ó Roden said. ÒIt was the only proper way to use my grandmotherÕs stones.Ó Roden said the goal of his art was to move along a path towards growth and knowledge. He said part of this goal that characterizes his at¥titude toward tension is that he is a fan of ÒstupidÓ ideas and the results they lead to. ÒWhat will happen if you play your saxophone with the wrong hand? Where will that take the performance?Ó Roden asked. ÒThese stupid ideas are super im¥portant to me.Ó Bogdan Perzynski, professor of art and art history, said Roden was chosen because of his very unique cross-disciplinary work. ÒThere is a lot of visual cohesion [in RodenÕs work] and itÕs interest¥ing how easily it shows, considering how disconnected it is from things he doesnÕt create,Ó Perzynski said. Sorority teaches precautionary skills By Nina Hernandez Daily Texan Staff After a flat tire traumatised the sorority members of the Epsilon Beta Chapter of Delta Sigma The¥ta, they were surprised to find that only three of their fellow sisters had knowledge of the inner work¥ings of automobile maintenance. At their next meeting the sorority began making plans for a commu¥nity event to help teach women to be self-sufficient. Education senior Sharolan¥der Ellis, was one of the only three members who knew how to change a tire. ÒItÕs a good feeling when you can teach others things they might not have the courage to do,Ó Ellis said. ÒSince weÕre college students thereÕs a lack of funding, especial¥ly in the first years you might not have a job. If you can do it your¥self, why not do it? ThatÕs money in your pocket.Ó The focus of the event titled ÒMission Impossible,Ó was to help women learn skills usually per¥ceived as a ÒmanÕs job.Ó The event gave tips on how to change tires and oil, how to light a barbecue pit, the proper ways to apply makeup and a crash course in self-defense. Fiesta Mart donated water and hot dogs for the grilling station and MacyÕs donated makeup. Psychology senior Amber Austin led the self-defense station. Austin is a first degree black belt who has been practicing karate for about six years. As a member of Voices Against Violence she recommends that women take the Rape Aggres¥sion Defense System, a program aimed at helping women learn ba¥sic defensive moves. ÒThe biggest safety tip I can give is to be aware of your surround¥ings,Ó Austin said. Ò[The Rape Ag¥gression Defense System] is a re¥source on campus I donÕt think women utilize.Ó Austin said women should be able to take care of themselves without having to call a man. ÒTypically a woman calls a man when she needs to change a tire,Ó Austin said. ÒTypically a woman calls a man when she feels threat¥ened.Ó In an attempt to serve the com¥munity, Epsilon Beta is considering hosting further, similar events. Psychology senior Keara Foster said she learned how to change the oil in her car and valuable informa¥tion in self-defense. ÒAll the things theyÕre doing, I need to know how to do,Ó Foster said. ÒI learned a lot. The self-de¥fense was really helpful, especial¥ly learning how to get out of situa¥tions where the opponent might be stronger than you.Ó UT researchers receive grant to study transitional metal oxides ÒOne is the nature of the tran¥sition from localized to itinerate electronic behavior of electrons,Ó Goodenough said. ÒAt this tran¥sition, one has a number of un¥usual physical properties associ¥ated with dynamic phase segre¥gation. To date, there is no ac¥cepted theoretical formulation of this problem which gives rise to such phenomenon as high tem¥perature superconductivity in the copper oxides.Ó The study seeks to find a fun¥damental and basic understand¥ing of these materials that can enable the development of new¥er technologies. ÒOf course when you do fun¥damental research, to answer one problem often only leads to several new ones, but we hope to solve some basic problems asso¥ciated with the design of tech¥nical materials,Ó Goodenough said.

But the sophomore defensive tackle came back with a vengeance in the LonghornsÕ latest contest against BYU. Dorsey notched two tack¥les, both for loss, and a sack, TexasÕ first of the season. The performance earned him a starting spot beside se¥nior defensive tackle Kheeston Ran¥dall. ÒAshton played great,Ó Randall said. ÒHeÕs a force down there. He plays with great pad level. He brings it every single play.Ó Quandre Diggs Texas led BYU for only nine min¥utes and when they did it was by just one point, 17-16. But the Longhorns defense held their ground and on the CougarsÕ last drive, it was Diggs that put the nail in the coffin, picking off BYU quarterback Jake Heaps for his first career interception. Now Diggs tops the depth chart at cornerback. Down: Garrett Gilbert To say that Gilbert had a tough night against BYU would be a gross understatement. The junior quar¥terback from Lake Travis completed as many passes to Texas receivers as BYU defenders. In five possessions, GilbertÕs offense produced only one first down Ñ on a 14-yard run by freshman Malcolm Brown Ñ and no points. ÒWhat Garrett will do is work re¥ally hard to get his job back and heÕll compete,Ó said head coach Mack Brown. ÒHe is a great young man whoÕs tough and smart. HeÕll do ev¥erything right to try to help this foot¥ball team and obviously to help this team win.Ó Calvin Howell With DorseyÕs resurgence, Howell finds himself on the outside looking in as he is no longer listed as a start¥ing defensive tackle. The sophomore, now DorseyÕs backup, has made only one tackle, a second-quarter stop against BYU, in two starts. Howell should still see the field occasionally with the way defensive coordinator Manny Diaz likes to rotate his defen¥sive linemen, but Dorsey has quickly established himself as the teamÕs sec¥ond-best defensive tackle. John Harris Harris took a step back in the Longhorns lineup after GoodwinÕs return from the IAAF World Cham¥pionships in Korea. Harris, a red¥shirt freshman, was listed as a start¥ing wide receiver each of the last two weeks and made catches against both Rice and BYU, registering two re¥ceptions for 13 yards on the season. With Goodwin back, however, Har¥ris will likely play a diminished role the rest of this season. MARQUISE GOODWIN Position: Wide Receiver Shipley thought he would start before season began By Trey Scott Daily Texan Columnist Here are 10 Texas football thoughts that have nothing to do with Garrett Gilbert: 1. I owe Jaxon Shipley an apology. Back in February, I covered the USA¥WorldAll-StarfootballgameatWest¥lake High School, in which Shipley caught one ball for about eight yards. He had agreed to a postgame inter¥view and him and I were walking back rather briskly to the field house, trying to get out of the 20-degree ice¥box. I asked Shipley what his imme¥diate personal goals were for the sea¥son, expecting to hear the usual an¥swer self-deflecting statement that you always get with those sort of in¥dividualized questions. ÒI expect to start,Ó he said, matter-of-factly. ÒI think that can happen.Ó I snorted rather rudely, tak¥en aback that the high school se¥nior expected to just stroll onto the 40 Acres and jump ahead of guys who have been in the program for a few years. Well, not only was Shipley the only true freshman to start Week 1 against Rice, but he looks like Tex¥asÕ best receiver after just two weeks, and maybe its best player. 2. Yes, Shipley is rooming with Case McCoy. DonÕt let Brent Mus¥burger find out. 3. The young cornerbacks looked like the teamÕs weakness heading into this season. After two games, it might be the LonghornsÕ strength. Quandre Diggs and Adrian Phillips both notched interceptions Satur¥day night and Carrington Byndom doesnÕt even get picked on. Byndom Island, anyone? ÒIÕm not surprised at all by how well theyÕre playing,Ó said senior safe¥ty Blake Gideon. ÒWe have high ex¥pectations for everybody who comes to play here.Ó 4. Has Texas found the second de¥fensive tackle itÕs been seeking for so long? The presence of Ashton Dors¥ey certainly helped Saturday night. Suspended against Rice for a viola¥tion of team rules, Dorsey busted out against BYU with two tackles for loss and the LonghornsÕ only sack of the game. He was named the defen¥sive player of the game and is list¥ed to start next to Kheeston Randall this weekend against UCLA. 5. Okay, I lied. One last Gilbert thought: 15,220 combined yards, 126 com¥bined touchdowns. ThatÕs obviously not GilbertÕs ca¥reer stat line. Instead, itÕs the cumu¥lative statistics of Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III in their careers at Stanford and Baylor, respectively. Both are Texas products and neither was courted seriously by the Long¥horns. Luck, a member of the 2008 class, was passed on because Texas only had eyes for Gilbert and RG3 was offered as just an athlete. Obviously, Mack Brown would have been torched if he have passed on Gilbert Ñ the best quarterback in Fanny Trang | Daily Texan Staff Carrington Byndom, separating himself from a BYU receiver, has been one of many pleasant surprises in TexasÕ secondary this season.

The highlight of the morning was South African freshman Bertine Strauss scoring a 5-over-par 77 in her college debut. StraussÕ 77 was good enough to put her in a tie for 16th in the individual scoring after day one. Nicole VandermadeÕs 1-un¥der 71 led the team on Sunday while Haley Stephens scored a 74, Katelyn Sepmoree earned a 77 and Madison Pressel carded a 78. The Longhorns wasted no time erasing SundayÕs 3-stroke deficit on Monday morning. Led by junior Ha¥ley StephensÕ 2-under-par 70, tied for the tournament low, Texas was able to take over first place in the teamÕs opening tournament of the season at Traditions Golf Club in Bryan, Texas. TogowithStephensÕgreatday,Van¥dermade shot a par 72 to put herself in a three-way tie for first in the tour¥nament at 1-under after two rounds. Strauss and Pressel shot match¥ing scores at 2-over 74 to put them at 7-over and 8-over, respectively, on the tournament. Sepmoree fin¥ished the day with a 10-over 82, put¥ting her at 15-over-par for the week. The LonghornÕs team score of 290 on the day, combined with Au¥burnÕs 14-over par 302, gives Tex¥as a nine stroke lead heading into TuesdayÕs final day of play. Ñ Stefan Scrafield Texas, Oklahoma officials meet to discuss possibly leaving Big 12 A person with knowledge of the situation says Texas and Oklahoma officials met over the weekend amid speculation that the Sooners are con¥sidering leaving the Big 12. Texas President William Powers Jr., athletic director DeLoss Dodds and womenÕs athletic director Chris Plonsky were among a group of Tex¥as officials who went to Oklahoma on Sunday, according to a person at a Big 12 school who spoke on con¥dition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the meeting. Oklahoma officials are reportedly considering leaving the Big 12 after Texas A&MÕs recent decision to leave the conference with hopes of joining the Southeastern Conference. On Sept. 2, Boren said multiple conferences have expressed interest in the Sooners and that he expect¥ed a decision possibly this month. That could be a move to the Pac-12 or remaining in a revised Big 12 that could be searching for a team to re¥place Texas A&M. Ñ The Associated Press ADVERTISING TERMS There are no refunds or credits.

Erwin Center hosts high-scoring contest By Nick Cremona Daily Texan Staff There hasnÕt been an NBA game since the Mavericks finished off the Heat this summer, but Sunday after¥noon, fans at the Frank Erwin Cen¥ter were treated to an exciting game of basketball that could have rivaled any NBA game. The SBA All-Star game was played between a team of 10 of the nationÕs top street basket¥ball players and a local team of five players, including former Longhorn Dexter Pittman. Eleven-time All-Star and for¥mer No. 1 overall pick Allen Iverson was originally slated to play in the contest but because of a scheduling conflict, Iverson did not participate in the exhibition. In the world of street basketball alley-oops and no-look passes reign supreme, but defense and stamina are not lost among the players of the Street Basketball Association. The SBA, founded in 2001, is comprised of 13 teams from cities such as Bos¥ton, New York and Chicago, and showcases a style of play much dif¥ferent than most fans of basketball are accustomed to watching. An emcee was on hand to call the play-by-play while interacting with the referees and fans as he paced from one end of the court to anoth¥er. (Pittman was given the title ÒThe BullyÓ by the emcee and was said to be in search of other playerÕs lunch money.) Music was played over the arenaÕs speakers for the entirety of the game, and fouls became irrele¥vant as players decided to Òplay onÓ rather than shoot from the chari¥ty stripe. Instead, any in-game dis¥putes between players were settled right there on the court. If one play¥er got the better of his counterpart on one possession, you could al¥most guarantee that the player who just got dunked on or embarrassed was coming right after the guy who did it the first chance he got. For those that have seen any of the AND 1 Mixtape tour on ESPN in years past, this game followed a similar format. A team of skilled yy players travels from city to city, tak¥ing on a new team every game. The games are frenetic and the SBAÕs best are no slouches on the court. Randy ÒWhite ChocolateÓ Gill, billed as the SBAÕs best player right now, lit up the scoreboard with several three¥pointers, floaters in the lane and sti¥fling defense on the opposite end of the court. Everything else about the atmosphere may feel foreign at a streetball event, but one thing is for certain Ñ every player will bring their best on any given day. Even though this was a street bas¥ketball game, there are some nu¥ances within the game that nev¥er go away. Enter ÒWhite Choco¥late,Ó a lightning-quick point guard with a knack for hitting shots when they matter the most. He surged up the court countless times and hit one clutch shot after another as the game clock wore down. ÒWhite ChocolateÓ must have had over 30 points, but in the end, the All-Stars were victimized by a player dubbed ÒThe ShooterÓ that had a pair of buzzer beaters, including the game¥winning shot. The Austin team won 129-126 after regulation, but the emcee added a five minute overtime after some convincing from the crowd. It was apparent that every player wanted to win, but after the five minutes were up the two teams were tied at 149 points apiece. With the lockout still in effect in the NBA, more players like Pittman are taking opportunities to play in games like the one held on Sun¥day. Not only does it keep players in shape, but some could argue that the disparity between the level of play of the NBA and other leagues is no longer a factor. Pittman made seven of his 12 shots, grabbed nine rebounds, had two steals and a block Ñ all while playing against a legitimate seven-footer. Some NBA teams donÕt even have a guy thatÕs seven feet tall. Granted it was an exhibition game, the SBA players were obviously well-conditioned and showed flashes of NBA-caliber play. These guys in the SBA arenÕt millionaires with shoe deals or oth¥er endorsements; they simply go out there and play the game with pas¥sion, something that could contin¥ue to attract locked-out NBA play¥ers. By now, most people have heard about Kevin DurantÕs 66 point bar¥rage at Rucker Park in a game very similar to the one held at the Frank Erwin Center Sunday. The fact is that some guys were born to play basketball, and they will play when¥ever and wherever. MCCOY continues from PAGE 1 McCoy didnÕt reserve such words of inspiration exclusively for the of¥fense. The Texas defense played a crucial role in toppling BYU, hold¥ing the Cougars to 67 yards in the second half. ItÕs a unit that features six upperclassmen, including four seniors, yet McCoy was not shy about approaching them. ÒCase came over and said, ÔHey, just keep doing what youÕre doing. Give the offense back the ball and weÕre going to give us a win,Ó recalled senior linebacker Keenan Robinson. ÒAnd what he said came true.Ó McCoy wonÕt be alone behind center when Texas takes on UCLA. Ash and McCoy switched 17 times against BYU and may switch more this weekend when the Longhorns face the Bruins this weekend. Co¥offense coordinater Bryan Harsin should also think about expand¥ing the package of plays reserved for Ash, which currently contains just five. Ash is arguably the teamÕs most versatile player as he completed two of his three passes for 35 yards, ran nine times for 39 more, and regis¥tered a 23-yard reception courtesy of Shipley on the gameÕs final drive. He hasnÕt been given the opportu¥nity to prove it yet, but Ash has the ability to punt as well. ÒHe brings some things that the other two do not and thatÕs why we didnÕt think he could red¥shirt,Ó Brown said. ÒWe need¥ed him to grow and we needed to figure out any way to move the ball efficiently.Ó Now that McCoy will take the majority of the snaps for Texas, there are two inevitable compari¥sons to make. The first is the one between McCoy and Shipley and their older brothers, Colt and Jor¥dan. With Texas trailing 16-10 in the fourth quarter, Shipley had just one catch, a five-yarder in the first quarter. But when the Longhorns needed them the most, McCoy and Shipley came through, connect¥ing for completions of 14 and 20 yards. They have a long way to go if they want to catch up to their older brothers, who hooked up over 200 yards while on the 40 Acres. The second comparison is be¥tween McCoy and Colt themselves. After all, the last time Texas came back from a deficit of at least 13 points was in 2007, when the elder McCoy accounted for 409 yards en route to bringing the Longhorns out of a 21-0 hole as they beat Oklaho¥ma State, 38-35. ÒHeÕs been here,Ó Case McCoy said. ÒHe redshirted and started here as the backup his first year here. He knows how it goes. He was in the same scenario with the Browns.Ó Not many college football teams could plug their backup quarter¥back while losing 13-0 and pull out a win. But McCoy made plays when it mattered most and has clearly won the respect of the locker room, which is why he got the starting quarterback job. to Mopak, shopping, res¥ upon the principles of candidates for 6 Admin/ is currently hiring part¥ taurants, etc. Young at sharing, justice, co-op-Business Development time game and suite at¥ heart senior with sweet eration, & love.

ÒDead IslandÓ isnÕt a bad game, it just isnÕt the game it should have been, missing out on the osten¥sibly significant role in a greater cul¥tural scheme. References in literature to flesh devouring undead exist as far back as ancient times. The earliest known example comes from the more than 4,000-year-old Sumerian text, the ÒEpic of Gilgamesh,Ó which features a passage promising that the dead will rise up from the netherworld and eat the living. As a general rule, when people get killed, they donÕt come back to life. In fact over the entire course of hu¥man events the only two exceptions to that rule have been Jesus and Robocop. What becomes clear then is that human beings have always had a sort of primordial fascination with the relationship between the worlds of the living and the dead. Mindless living dead known as ÒzombiÓ have long existed in the tra¥ditions of West African Vodun and itÕs spiritual antecedents. According to a September 1940 article from Time magazine, it was the sensa¥tionalized account of Haitian Voo¥doo rituals from the 1929 book ÒThe Magic IslandÓ by professional jour¥nalist and amateur cannibal William Seabrook that saw the term intro¥duced into the American lexicon. The modern understanding of the zombie as the archetypical shambling, decaying corpse is actu¥ally a relatively new construct, hav¥ing been formulated by George A. Romero in 1968 for his film ÒNight of the Living Dead.Ó Currently, zombies are in the midst of a cultural renaissance, not simply a popular resurgence but a deeper intellectual exploration of themes. Books like Max BrooksÕ ÒWorld War ZÓ and Seth Grahame¥SmithÕs ÒPride and Prejudice and ZombiesÓ dot best seller lists. Films like Ò28 Days LaterÓ and ÒShawn of the DeadÓ took fresh approaches to the genre, serving as the catalyst for the steady stream of zombie movies produced over the past decade. The pinnacle achievement of the zombie renaissance has been AMCÕs ÒThe Walking Dead.Ó Based on an equally brilliant graphic novel, the showÕs abbreviated first season ZOMBIE continues on PAGE 8 MonstrOÕs hard-rock debut borrows style from past masters By Eli Watson Daily Texan Staff MonstrO is heavy. Whether or not they have a strange fascina¥tion with the whale of the same name from Pinocchio, this psy¥chedelic hard rock quartet goes up to 11 and then some. They are masters at manipulating dynam¥ics, going from subtle and soft, to heavy and forceful. Throw into a blender the sludge and grun¥ge of Soundgarden, the brutali¥ty of Mastodon and the eeriness of Black Sabbath, and you have MonstrO, a group that leaves a lasting impression with their self¥titled debut album. Right off the bat, it takes some time to get used to Charles Suar¥ezÕs vocals. He shows a sense of vulnerability that can be distract¥ing, taking away from a songÕs de¥livery. Unlike that of the late and great Layne Staley, Suarez has yet to reach the level of haunting captivity that the Alice in Chains frontman succeeded in mastering, but what Suarez lacks in vocals, he makes up for with his guitar. Suarez, along with Juan Montoya, provide the riffs for the group, with one guitarist strumming heavily underneath the elongated melodies of the oth¥er. They create an almost flawless partnership; these guys also pull off some well-done harmonies, es¥pecially in ÒConcertina.Ó What truly enhances the bandÕs sound, though, is the driving, powerful drumming of Bevan Davies. He has the accuracy and stamina of modern rock drum gods such as Taylor Hawkins, and the frenetic, power-driven hit¥ting of Keith Moon, resulting in parts that will immediately grab your attention. ÒOlympiaÓ showcases Da¥viesÕ eclectic style as he transi¥tions from soft, splashy cymbals, to roaring, thunderous toms that give impetus to blistering guitars and soaring vocals. Album closer ÒAprilÓ nostalgi¥cally nods at Õ90s art rock groups, its otherworldly atmosphere beautiful and strange like JaneÕs AddictionÕs ÒMountain Song.Ó Su¥arez even seems to channel his in¥ner Perry Farrell in this track, too, taking a chance at projecting his voice in ways that actually end up working in his favor. MONSTRO continues on PAGE 8 MonsterO Self-Titled Genre: Psychedelic Rock For those who like: Mastodon, Alice in Chains, JaneÕs Addiction Grade: A By Ali Breland Daily Texan Columnist Hip-hop has never been associ¥ated with hundreds of kids in mob formation chanting a bandÕs name on the verge of a violent riot in the streets of a major metropoli¥tan area. In contemporary music history, only variations of rock ÔnÕ roll, particularly punk, have been able induce such vigorous enthusi¥asm from its fans. Regardless, Los Angeles rap collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, often shortened to Odd Future, was able to spur a crowd of 350 into a sort of miniature riot on the streets of Bos¥ton last May. Scores of acrimonious fans unable to get into an Odd Fu¥ture promotional signing gathered in the streets. Members from Odd Future egged the crowd on inciting chants, blatantly disregarding the police trying to quell the mob. ThatÕs the kind of unrest The Cir¥cle Jerks or Black Flag would have been able to incite. At South By Southwest I was personally a part of a mob that tore down a fence and tipped porta-potties to see Odd Future. The only other large¥scale violence at the festival was the result of dance-punk duo, Death from Above 1979. Odd Future isnÕt the only rap group provoking such obscene action. They are merely on the forefront of something larger. A growing punk-rock men¥tality has been proliferating within rap recent years with self¥professed rock-inspired Kid Cudi hitting the mainstream. The rap¥perÕs forthcoming rock album has been the talk of the Internet for some time now. In 2007, British hardcore punk group, The Gallows, enlisted rapper Lethal Bizzle, to help them cover The RutsÕ ÒStaring at the Rude Boys.Ó The song gar¥nered a fare amount of acclaim on the UK charts, peaking at No. 31. Hip-hop and punk rock have never been that far apart. Both have, at least in part, been the re¥sult of social and economic inade¥quacies within the western world. Rap and rock have come together years before The Gallows or Lethal Bizzle were ever important; An¥thrax and Public Enemy collaborat¥ed on a song in 1991 called ÒBring The Noise.Ó Limp Bizkit graced the Õ90s with an amazing fusion of the two genres. Even Run-DMC had huge punk tendencies with their DIY, in-your-face attitude. For the first time, the psychologi¥cal and ideological similarities be¥tween hip-hop and rap may mani¥fest in a form that spans across the entire genre. ÒHip-hop is in its hair metal, glam rock stage right now,Ó said lo¥cal rapper Matty Dee. ÒEveryoneÕs flaunting money and this rockstar attitude like how guys in bands like Guns NÕ Roses did.Ó Dee went on to talk about his thoughts on hip-hop moving into a grunge phase, on a psycholog¥ical level, just as rock did in the early Õ90s after Guns NÕ Roses. While Dee presents a useful con¥tention on the current era of rap¥pers being the equivalent of glam¥rockers, he misses the mark a bit by anticipating grunge being next. Grunge was about simultaneous¥ly not caring and being self-con¥scious. While rappers like Cage and Kid Cudi represent elements of this, most up-and-comers are real¥ly just about not caring and being brutal. Self-consciousness doesnÕt fit into the equation. Two acts really exemplifying this are HoustonÕs B L A C K I E All Caps, With Spaces and Death Grips. Death Grips is so punk, where heÕs based from is kind of a mystery. His ambiguously titled website, third¥worlds.net, gives no indication of his whereabouts and his Facebook profile lists his location as Òthe Tent City , CALIFORNIAX 916.Ó HeÕs probably from either Cana¥da or the UK, as most of his list¥ed shows are there. It doesnÕt mat¥ter much anyway, because his style isnÕt emblematic of any geographic location. Death GripsÕ songs con¥sist of heavily warped beats backed by ominous synths, meshed with vehement, caustic verses. His song ÒGuillotineÓ is compromised of him chanting, ÒIt goes, it goes,Ó as synths gradually builds, culminat¥ing in a slicing sound, to which he yells, ÒGuillotine!Ó B L A C K I E also represents this growing fringe of rap with punk HIP-HOP continues on PAGE 8
