Students living in East Riverside may soon be forced to  nd apartments even farther from the University, which could lead to academic and social challenges. Prices in the neighborhood are on the rise after zoning changes similar to those in West Campus have led to de- velopment of more luxury complexes. However, for most students it remains a more affordable option than most other neighborhoods. Census data shows that many white and Asian undergradu- ates le East Riverside between 2000 and 2010, while the neighborhood continues to attract many Hispanic and black undergraduates with lower rental prices and a culture per- ceived as welcoming.

The Festival is a weekend-long event with panels, discussions, debates and dialogues about current national and state political issues.  e Daily Texan: Why would it be important for UT students to go to the Texas Tribune Festival this weekend? Smith: UT-Austin is a campus in a city that fan- cies itself the intellectual capital of the state. This is a place where all good men and women come together to fight about, discuss and debate the big issues of the day. The UT campus has had a long tradition of be- ing a locus of that conversa- tion.

New district map here to stay  e United States Supreme Court approved a temporary map for Texas congressional districts Wednesday a er rul- ing the original map drawn by the Texas Legislature unfairly grouped minority populations to minimize their in uence. A lower federal court drew the new map, which will only be used for the 2012 elections.  e Legislature draws new district maps every 10 years based on census data, and Texas added four new seats in Congress a er the 2010 cen- sus. Chairman of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, State Rep. Trey Martinez Fis- cher, D-San Antonio, said the federal court’s interim map is not perfect, but the time before the Nov. 6 election does not al- low for another redrawing. “While we’re not entirely comfortable with the interim map because we know that the map is going to get better for minorities, we have to rec- ognize that the election cycle is just around the corner,” Fischer said. He said stalling preparations for the election while congres- sional districts are redrawn again would disenfranchise voters. It was important to make sure county o cials have time to get ballots out, Fischer said.  e League of United Lat- in American Citizens, a Latino rights group, asked the Supreme Court to review the interim map.  e Mexican American Legislative Caucus did not sub- mit an o cial position on the Supreme Court case, Fischer said.

Can you give us a preview of what you’re going to be asking them? Smith: We’re going to talk about the future of Texas politics, which the two of them, together or sepa- rate, embody or exemplify. They are both younger than me. Castro is 38 and Cruz is 41, so they are go- ing to be around for a long time, and they both repre- sent very different views that are very much aligned with the times.  e Daily Texan: Are you excited for this weekend? Smith: Absolutely. The problem with being so close to something, both physically and emotion- ally, is it’s hard to enjoy it. The reality is I have a lot of anxiety about this weekend. It’s not necessar- ily about any one thing. It’s going to go great. It’s going to be a huge success. We’re excited as can be about it, but it’s a big event. It’s a big event in terms of where the Tribune sees itself go- ing forward. I’d rather be cautious than nervous, but I think it’s going to be great.  e Daily Texan: How is this year’s festival going to be di erent from last year’s festival? Smith: We have more speakers. We are spread out over three days and not two. We tried to make our focus more about the state than the country. I think there is an essential key element that is the same, and that is we are bringing together the people who are in the position to make a difference in the state. We have the people in the rooms this weekend who run the state, and we’re go- ing to ask them the hard questions. We’re going to get them to argue and dis- cuss about the issues that matter. Hopefully people will walk out of those rooms better educated about the state. their hair, but it is also an option for women. Turbans have cultural significance in Eastern and Middle Eastern cul- ture, where the religion originated. The creator of Sikhism, Guru Gobind Singh, chose the turban because it is a symbol of esteem. “Because you wear a turban does not mean you belong to a religion, just a particular area,” active committee chair Ajaypal Singh said. Ajaypal Singh is origi- nally from Punjab, India. He moved to the United States in 1997 because of political pressure in India. Singh said Sikhs are a small minority in India that was targeted in a mass genocide there that began in 1984. He said today’s degree of friction between American culture and Sikhism did not exist before 9/11. “Since then, there have been misguided individu- als,” Singh said. Singh said people asso- ciate turbans with the ste- reotype that everyone who wears one is Muslim and that this misconception has resulted in violence toward Sikhs. One case of violence is the Aug. 5 shooting of a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis. On Sunday morning, as Sikhs were gathering to worship, a shooter entered the temple and opened  re, killing six people. Accord- ing to the New York Times, the police said they were treating the incident as domestic terrorism. “We are American. Just because we wear a turban doesn’t give the right to cat- egorize,” Singh said. At “Tie a Turban,” do- nations were taken for the victims of the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting. In- ternational relations and global studies freshman Mercedes Bellcase came to the event with her room- mate to learn how to tie a turban. She said the event would help people that come from areas that are not exposed to diverse re- ligions and cultures. “Not everyone can see the value of the diversity they come into at UT,” Bellcase said. work with the federal court to produce a remedy map a er November. Fischer said congressional district 25, in southern Travis County, was one of the districts the Supreme Court originally identi ed as discriminatory. He said he hopes this district will be redrawn on the map that will be adopted and used a er the 2012 elections. Congressman Lloyd Dog- gett, the Democratic incum- bent for district 25, said he is pleased the Supreme Court did not further disrupt the election process in Texas. “ e Supreme Court has already interfered in our elections once too o en this year,” Doggett said. “ e only appeal that I personally am making is to the voters along the I-35 corridor.” Doggett, a former UT stu- dent body president, said he encourages his fellow Long- horns to vote. Chris Elam, a Republican Party of Texas spokesper- son, said the state would have been plunged into chaos if the Supreme Court had postponed the elec- tion to allow more time to redraw the map. Elam said the e orts from Democrats and le -leaning organiza- tions to appeal congressio- nal maps has only caused confusion for voters. “ ey feel that these maps are discriminatory, and we feel that they are not,” Elam said. “We’re grateful that the elections can move forward as planned and reject the argument that these elec- tions would have needed to be delayed.” MAPS continues from page 1TURBAN continues from page 1FRAMED | FEATURED PHOTO SEA Building, UT Campus | Sept. 20, 2012 Aaron Berecka | Daily Texan Staff TOMORROW’S WEATHERHighLow9166That’s so meta.

Suspect confesses to apartment firesEconomics freshman Chris Sun, 18, confessed to police that he started three  res in the University Tow- ers apartment complex be- tween Aug. 31 and Sept. 13. Tyrel Hullum, manager of University Towers private dormitory, said the damage done by the  res was mini- mal and Sun was not given a lease violation citation from the complex as a result. Hul- lum said his complex will not seek civil compensation for the damage done. “As far as Towers is con- cerned, the case is put to bed,” he said. According to an a davit for warrant of arrest and de- tention issued Sept. 17, Sun now faces a  rst-degree felo- ny arson charge, punishable with  ve years to life in prison and a  ne of up to $10,000.  e charge is considered a  rst-degree felony in this case because police believe Sun set the  res with the intent to damage a habitation.  e a davit also said that the mangled bodies of dead pigeons were found near the locations of the  res. Sun has denied being involved with the pigeons in any way. Authorities looking for fire alarm culpritPolice are searching for Scott Allen Chatagnier, 42, a er they say he unnecessar- ily set o  re alarms at vari- ous campus buildings and at Dobie Mall Sept. 10. According to an a da- vit for warrant of arrest and detention issued Sept. 13, Chatagnier pulled 11  re alarms on campus between 2:08 p.m. and 3:53 p.m Sept. 10 and pulled more alarms at Dobie Mall earlier that day. Police spotted Chatagnier near campus on Sept. 12 and recognized him from imag- es captured by UT and Do- bie Mall security cameras on Sept. 10. A er being ques- tioned by multiple o cials, Chatagnier said, “I’m not denying it was me,” when shown a still photograph from the Sept. 10 surveil- lance. Later that day, a cap resembling the one shown in the photograph was found at Chatagnier’s apartment. Au- thorities have not been able to  nd Chatagnier since ap- proval of the warrant. — David MalyNEWS BRIEFLYAaron BereckaDaily Texan StaffTRIBUNE continues from page 1Mathematics graduate stu- dents Sukhpreet Singh, left, and Rustam Antia, right, participate at the Student Sikh Association’s annual Tie a Turban Day event.

The U.S., Britain, France and Germany expressed growing concern that Iran’s goal is building a nuclear ar- senal — not nuclear power plants for peaceful civilian use as Tehran insists.

Fiona Apple arrested for hashish in Texas EL PASO, Texas — Singer- songwriter Fiona Apple was arrested for hashish posses- sion at a West Texas Border Patrol checkpoint after a drug-sniffing dog detected marijuana in her tour bus. Apple was released Thurs- day after posting bail. Country singer Wil- lie Nelson, rapper Snoop Dogg and actor Armand Hammer also have been ar- rested in Sierra Blanca on marijuana charges. While marijuana posses- sion in small amounts is a misdemeanor, the Texas Con- trolled Substance Act says possession of hashish in any quantity is a felony. —Compiled from Associated Press ReportsNEWS BRIEFLYAmyna Dosani, Wire Editor World & Nation3Friday, September 21, 2012WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s inter- nal watchdog faulted the agency Wednesday for mis- guided strategies, errors in judgment and management failures during a bungled gun-trafficking probe in Ari- zona that disregarded public safety and resulted in hun- dreds of weapons turning up at crime scenes in the U.S. and Mexico. A former head of the de- partment’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explo- sives and a deputy assistant attorney general in Justice’s criminal division in Washing- ton left the department upon the report’s release — the first by retirement, the second by resignation. In the 471-page report, Inspector General Michael Horowitz referred more than a dozen people for pos- sible department disciplin- ary action for their roles in Operation Fast and Furious and a separate, earlier probe known as Wide Receiver, un- dertaken during the George W. Bush administration. ATF agents in Arizona conducted Wide Receiver in 2006 and 2007 and began Fast and Fu- rious in October 2009. The report did not criti- cize Attorney General Eric Holder but said lower-level officials should have briefed him about the investigation much earlier. The report found no evi- dence that Holder was in- formed about the Fast and Furious operation before Jan. 31, 2011, or that the attorney general was told about the much-disputed gun-walking tactic employed by the ATF. Gun-walking was an ex- perimental tactic, barred under long-standing depart- ment policy. ATF agents in Arizona allowed suspected “straw purchasers,” in these cases believed to be work- ing for Mexican drug gangs, to leave Phoenix-area gun stores with weapons in or- der to track them and bring charges against gun-smug- gling kingpins who long had eluded prosecution, but they lost track of most of the guns. The experimental operations were a response to widespread criticisms of the agency’s anti- smuggling efforts. Because of thin ATF staffing and weak penalties, the traditional strat- egy of arresting suspected straw buyers as soon as possible had failed to stop the flow of tens of thousands of guns to Mexico — more than 68,000 in the past five years. Two of the 2,000 weap- ons thought to have been acquired by illicit buyers in the Fast and Furious in- vestigation were recovered at the scene of a shootout that claimed the life of U.S. border agent Brian Terry. About 1,400 of the total have yet to be recovered. “The inspector general’s report confirms findings by Congress’ investigation of a near total disregard for public safety in Operation Fast and Furious,” said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chair- man of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has been investigating Operation Fast and Furious since early 2011. Horowitz is to testify before Issa’s panel Thursday. During the investigation President Barack Obama ordered Holder to withhold from the committee, under executive privilege, some documents describing how the department responded to the panel. The Republi- can-controlled House voted to hold Holder in contempt and has authorized a civil lawsuit to make the admin- istration turn over the docu- ments. Horowitz said he was not denied access to any of the documents. Holder noted in a state- ment that the report con- firmed his assertions that the flawed strategies were driven by field agents with- out his knowledge or ap- proval and that depart- ment did not set out to misinform Congress. Justice Dept. tied to gun-trafficking caseBeatrice Richardson | Associated PressKent Terry Sr., father of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, and Richard “Rick” Barlow, chief patrol agent of the Tucson sector, share a quiet moment during the dedication ceremony for a new station named after Brian Terry, Tuesday, in Naco, Ariz. By Pete YostAssociated Press UT’s response to the 2010 shooting in the Perry-Castañeda Library is considered a suc- cess. This perception was strengthened last week by comparisons to UT’s late and disor- ganized response to a bomb threat made on Friday, Sept. 14 that led to an evacuation of campus buildings. Leaders tend to fight yesterday’s war. In this case, yesterday’s war was an overreaction to the 2010 shooting that turned UT into a war zone in a mat- ter of two hours, complete with tanks and a SWAT team in pursuit of a possible second shooter. Now, only two weeks from the second anni- versary of the PCL shooting, another emergency response by the administration is criticized, this time for its under-reaction. Are we being unfair? Do we want more deliberate public state- ments? Yes, but this time we have the luxury of critiquing the public relations mistakes be- cause there were no casualties. One hopes that the debate over the caller’s “Middle Eastern ac- cent” is not the main takeaway from this week, although cultural sensitivity and accuracy are necessary in situations like Friday’s. Do we want more informative text messages? That might help. Within 15 minutes of the 2010 shooting, the sirens were sounded, and within 20 minutes texts detailing the situation were sent out and the school was locked down. This time they waited for an hour and a half and the texts, when they finally arrived, were vague and con- fusing to most students. To be fair, the university can do little for students who chose to wait near buildings instead of getting “as far away as pos- sible,” as they were instructed. Students should have taken the extra precaution of walking an- other block or two away from campus. Do we want a measured reaction? The admin- istration seemed to improve in that regard by waiting to confirm the threat before evacuating a campus of 75,000 students and staff, and they gave themselves time to think about their situ- ation instead creating another war zone. How- ever, their abrupt evacuation only 15 minutes before the threatened explosion demonstrated the opposite of an “abundance of caution.” UTPD refused to comment on its internal procedures, so I asked an officer in the Hous- ton Police Department whether he thought 15 minutes was sufficient. “It’s hard enough to evacuate a two-story building in 15 minutes,” I was told, “let alone a university campus. You might ask your local police department about their procedures, but from my personal expe- rience, I highly doubt it.” UT President William Powers, Jr. spoke at a noontime press conference on the day of the bomb threat. He implied that, after much de- liberation, UT administrators remained un- sure whether the threat was a hoax or a real danger. Since they had no definitive answer, their hedging is understandable. It would be unrealistic to demand that Powers reveal details of his conversations with staff or that UTPD give us a detailed timeline of their proce- dures. Making such information public could give an advantage to those intent on harming us. Transparency doesn’t require that the media have every detail; transparency requires that we are in- formed on the basics of procedure in order to re- port honestly the UT community. We must know that either 15 minutes is a long enough period to evacuate all campus buildings—a position that de- fies common sense and thus requires further ex- planation from the decision makers—or that the university did not find the threat credible. North Dakota State University, which re- ceived its own threat an hour after we did, didn’t have the luxury of reflection. Their caller did not give specifics regarding time. NDSU’s administration acted quickly—within 15 min- utes—by sending an evacuation notice to the 14,000 students and approximately 6,000 staff members on its two campuses. We are not NDSU; we are one of the largest public universities in the nation. But it seems that we had ample time to both evaluate and evacuate. I commend the UT administrators for their calmness. I’m glad they avoided the unnecessary hype of having SWAT teams in every building and a tank rolling down the street. But while I wasn’t privy to the evaluation process and am reluctant to second guess the administration, I would remind them to uphold their end of the contract with UT students. We should be willing to trust our leaders to make important decisions regarding our safety, but that trust needs to be earned.

Every Friday, we’ll hit the streets to ask students what they think. This year’s freshman class is the largest in UT history. We asked students walking along Whitis Avenue whether they think UT is overcrowded. Here are some responses: Editor’s note: This is the second installment in a two-part Q&A with UT President Wil- liam Powers Jr., former dean of the School of Law, about the Abigail Fisher case, which the U.S. Supreme Court will hear on Oct. 10. The high court’s decision could influence the use of race by college admissions officials nation- wide. This interview has been edited and con- densed for clarity. Daily Texan: How do you address the argument that UT doesn’t use quotas, but they compare the numbers and percentag- es of races within a class to the percentages of races and ethnicities in the state? William Powers: That’s incorrect. It is true that African Americans and Latinos are un- derrepresented. When we say underrepre- sented, we mean there’s not sufficient diver- sity in the classrooms and on the campus. DT: How do you contend with [U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge] Edith Jones’ argument [in her dissenting opinion, which was against UT] that you couldn’t mathematically achieve the class- room diversity you’re seeking, to make it so that people are not a token representa- tive of their race? WP: I disagree with it. We’re not say- ing every single class has to have a certain number. It’s a sufficient number so that the educational benefits of diversity are for all of our students, not just our minority students. Learning to work in a world where you work across cultural, economic and ethnic lines is an important educational goal. That only works if a sufficient number of classes have sufficient diversity. It doesn’t mean that ev- ery single class has to match some model. DT: How do you address the notion that Asian students are overrepresented in the sense that there’s a much greater percent- age of Asian students at UT than in the population of Texas? WP: When we say overrepresented or un- derrepresented we don’t mean as against the population. We mean as against the goals of having a diverse class. The presence of Asians in our classes is a very important part of this educational process. People need to work both globally and within in the state and learning about Asian culture and learn- ing to work across cultural lines. So it’s a very important part of diversity. Why is it that Asians are not underrepresented and African Americans and Hispanics are? Well, there are economic reasons, there are histor- ical reasons for that. African Americans in my lifetime were legally barred from attend- ing our campus, and they may come from families where the tradition of going to a place like UT or to UT isn’t there. There are economic reasons. There are a lot of reasons and barriers as to why Hispanics and Afri- can Americans would be underrepresented on the campus. But the fact is that they are, and that hurts the educational process for all of our students. DT: The thing I struggle with is the ar- gument that the Asian American Legal Foundation raised, which is the notion that somebody from India is somehow the same quotient of diversity as someone from China? WP: We don’t think that. Intra-ethnic group diversity is also important. We appre- ciate that South Asian culture is very differ- ent from East Asian culture, and that’s a form of diversity that would be important. Does it get reported that way? No, and the reason is the federal government has reporting cri- teria that we have to report to and they say “Asian.” And in that sense both are Asian, but when we’re looking at holistic review we un- derstand that South Asian culture is different from East Asian culture. And for that matter, Thai culture is different from Chinese culture and Indian culture is different from Pakistani culture. We understand that. DT: But it’s not considered that way in the counting of an ethnicity? WP: We look at the ethnicity of everybody. Somebody who grew up in South Asia, but prospered and thrived in Beijing, we’d say has characteristics to work across cultures, which we think is a trait that people ought to bring. Holistic review lets you look at the whole file and lets you look at the individual and analyze it. The fact that we report Asians as a group is totally a function of the federal government. DT: If students plan to listen to the audio of the arguments before the Court, what do you recommend they listen to in terms of questions from the bench and answers from the lawyers? WP: I’ve given a lot of legal arguments. They all go differently. I just say listen atten- tively. I wouldn’t say listen to what so-and-so asks about that question. It’s hard to know exactly how the argument would go. I’d just listen attentively. DT: As former dean of the [UT] law school, have you played a more integral role with decision making in arguing UT’s case than others in the administra- tion? WP: I’m not arguing the case. I didn’t write the briefs. I suppose I played an inte- gral role because I’m president of the Uni- versity and this is a very important case for the University. I happen to have been dean of the law school, I work with lawyers a lot and that has some color on—you know, I probably know the law firms a little better. But I don’t think me being dean of the law school had much influence. DT: Many in the legislature would like all UT’s admissions to be based on the Top Ten Percent law. What percent of such automatic admissions do you view as ideal? WP: Well, when the Top Ten Percent law came into play about 47 or 48 percent of our students came in under it. That worked pretty well. I know that worked very well. There are multiple pathways into the university. When it gets to ev- eryone, that’s the only pathway into the university, that is not a very good way to admit the class. But think about it—au- tomatic admission doesn’t match up with our program. And there are other charac- teristics that we’re looking for in minor- ity students and in non-minority students. Not everyone is admitted on one criterion. The student who won the statewide math contest and has fabulous math work and is student body president, but stumbled in their sophomore year, and therefore is 12 percent in their class — Princeton and Harvard and Berkeley would love to have them. We’d love to have them. But they are precluded by law from coming here when you get everybody under it [the Top Ten Percent law]. And think about—you’re taking applications for The Daily Texan or General Motors is taking applications for a certain area and you’ve got five po- sitions and a hundred people apply. No one, no other university, no other enter- prise, would say to their HR department: “Okay, go list them by grade point average and take the top five and we don’t want to know anything else about them.” It is not a good way. Now, when half the class is coming in under that, then there’s cer- tain geographic diversity. It’s an incentive to kids in the schools but there’s plenty of other ways to get into the university. But to say the only way in is this one criterion is not a good way to admit students. DT: If race is taken out of these crite- ria but you still use geography—in the state of Texas race is somewhat inter- twined with geography. So would that become an issue as well? WP: Well, the Top Ten Percent law, is based on geographic and even school-by- school segregation and living patterns. So the Top Ten Percent rule did make a con- tribution to diversity for the reasons that you’re describing. That’s why I say as long as it’s not everybody coming in [through top 10 Percent], there’s some benefits of having some of our students coming in through [Top 10 Percent]. But even that did not achieve the diversity that we need. Nobody is challenging our Top Ten Per- cent rule on legal grounds. At that point from a legal point of view, geographic di- versity is not being challenged. If we were to say something like 90 percent of our stu- dents are going to come from south Texas would somebody challenge that? Yes. If we said we’re going to equally disperse across the state it would have some contribution to diversity. But it depends on how we do it. Right now Top Ten Percent … nobody is suggesting a legal challenge to that on grounds of racial discrimination. Q&A: Powers faces Fisher ‘‘Learning to work in a world where you work across cultural, economic and ethnic lines ... is an important educational goal. — William Powers, Jr., We asked: Is UT overcrowded? interviewI don’t think UT is overcrowded. I think they’ve actually done a really good job of fitting 50,000 kids on one campus. — Meredith McCarty, neurobiology sophomoreI don’t teach anymore so I don’t have much firsthand experience with it, but I know of other grad students who used to be TAs or are TAs now, and the difference between having 30 kids in a class and 35 or 40 is significant to TAs and the amount of time we can devote to each student. It has an actual effect of, I think, lowering the amount of work that we ask students to do and thus diluting their education. — Paul Monticone, Radio-Television and Film graduate studentI would say that I do think that UT is overcrowded. I’ve noticed in some of my classes there are no seats for people and they have to sit along the edge and it’s a fight even to get a seat. I think that when there’s not enough seats in a classroom for people to really be able to learn then I think there’s an overcrowding issue. — Coco Adams, psychology freshmanSince I’m a freshman it’s hard for me to tell since I wasn’t here last year, but I kind of ex- pected this coming into such a big school. It doesn’t seem that overcrowded honestly. I mean I can’t think of anything that I’ve had any long waits on. — Brendan Smith, biomedical engineering freshman By travis KnollDaily Texan Columnist Riverside/Oltorf Combined Neighborhood Plan, or EROC, in 2006, said Gayle Go , co-chair of the neighborhood team which represented EROC during its planning process. “Students who were looking for and are going to be looking for a ordable housing have been displaced,” Go said. “All of the truly a ordable apartments have been razed in order to build more expensive, higher-density complexes.” EROC is a plan intended to increase available housing near Austin’s urban core. The city changed regulations to allow developers to build taller complexes, on the condi- tion that they make 10 to 20 percent of the units “afford- able.” Affordability is based on the median household in- come in a given city, as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Affordable units must be priced at 60 percent of a median family income and can be as high as $1,000 per month. It is difficult to apply that affordability standard to students, Goff said. “All of the asphalt that existed in parking areas is going to be massively increased by height,” Go said. “I know that the places that were truly a ordable to older residents were torn down, and I don’t agree with how a ordability is being de ned now.” The 2010 American Community Survey estimates that 5,598 undergraduate college students in Austin live in East Riverside. Some of these students may attend Huston- Tillotson University, St. Edward’s University or Austin Community College. North Campus, Hancock and Far West student neighbor- hoods have not experienced the same zoning and development changes that West Campus and East Riverside have. Because of urban planning designed to restrict high-rise development, the population of these neighborhoods has not grown in the past decade. “A PORT OF ENTRY” Beginning with the creation of the UT bus system in 1969, a large population of students began to live farther from cam- pus in student neighborhoods around the city of Austin. City demographer Ryan Robinson said East Riverside has long been one of these neighborhoods. “Riverside was created in the 1970s as an o -campus loca- tion for University of Texas students,” Robinson said. “Since 1975 it has played a few roles, and one role was to become a port of entry for international immigrants. Today that port has remained relatively constant.” East Riverside has become an immigrant community for Hispanics and some Asians because of the historic availability of cheaper housing, Robinson said. “Most of the Hispanic and Latino population living in Riv- erside isn’t students.  ey are more workforce related,” Robin- son said. “ ey are living in the multi-family stock in River- side because it is a ordable.” While the median cost of contract rent in West Campus rose from $610 in 2000 to $958 in 2010, the median cost of contract rent in East Riverside rose from $571 to $669, census records show. During this time period, the Hispanic population in East Riverside increased from 37 percent to 47 percent of the col- lege-age population, and the black population grew from 6.3 percent to 13 percent. Since the creation of new housing in West Campus, the percent of college-age students in East Riverside who are white declined from 44 percent to 29 percent, and the Asian population declined from 9.7 percent to 6 percent, census records show. Business and psychology senior Maritza Rodriguez, a His- panic member of the Latino Leadership Council, said she moved from West Campus to East Riverside because of the lower cost of rent and the more “welcoming” environment. “I could afford to live in [West Campus] because of a roommate, and when I wanted to get away from a room- mate situation I could pay for a single apartment with furniture included in Riverside,” Rodriguez said. “In Riverside, you went there and you could see people so- cializing outside, and it felt less uncomfortable than in West Campus.” Psychology sophomore Casie Clay, who transferred to UT this year from UT-San Antonio, now lives in East Riv- erside and said she “doesn’t feel out of place” as a white student living there. “When I tell people I live in Riverside, they are so surprised I live in the east side,” Clay said. “But I don’t think it’s as bad here as everybody seems to think. I’ll take $385 for my own room and a bus that comes to my own door over triple that price in West Campus.” FARTHER AND FARTHEREarlier this year, the University’s Task Force on Un- dergraduate Graduation Rates identified commuting to school from neighborhoods across town, like East Riv- erside, as a problem for academic success that reduced chances of graduating in four years. Students living farther from the University are less likely to be involved in the social and academic life of the university, said Gilberto Ortega-Rivera, a student member of the task force who now works for the University. “When you look at the data we put together, you see that the farther you live from campus, the less likely you’re going to be involved in academic activities,” Ortega-Rivera said. “You’re also less likely to attend events like the Hex Rally or the Torchlight Parade.” With less sense of community, commuter students become more likely to su er academically, Ortega-Rivera said. “Some of the friends I had at Riverside, they would be less likely to go to the gym or study at the PCL all night before the test,” Ortega-Rivera said. “I think there’s something telling to that when it comes to grades.” Ashley Cue, a Hispanic undeclared senior who has lived in East Riverside for four years, said she has experienced these problems as a student commuter. Cue said because she lives so far from the hub of student life, she sometimes feels out of place. “ ese experiences caused me to feel out of place and a bit depressed when I started my  rst year in the University,” Cue said. “At times, [living in East Riverside caused] my grades to slip up.” Ortega-Rivera said these problems become more common as the cost of living near campus pushes students farther from UT. “I don’t know if there’s anything UT-Austin can do about this, but as real estate becomes more expensive, it’s pushing more low-income students away from the University,” Orte- ga-Rivera said. “I don’t think [students] know where they will end up being pushed to.” URBAN PRESSURESince the passage of EROC in 2006, the urban landscape of East Riverside has begun to change.  e city envisioned EROC as a way to let more residents live closer to Austin’s urban core, because it expands the amount of land available for taller high-rises and creates incentives for high-density construction. Karen Paup, vice-chair of Austin Community Devel- opment Commission, said development now spurred by EROC has been problematic for students and low- income families. “EROC and the area east of it are a real problem area, where you have a lot of students and working-class families living,” Paup said. “ e students need to live closer to campus and so does the workforce, and Riverside has some of the last a ord- able rents in the city. Paup said the incentive to build luxury apartments since EROC has displaced renters by not creating equally affordable housing. “EROC and the corridor plan now being considered for the rest of Riverside will not be able to create housing that will match existing affordable units in the area,” Paup said. “The incentives being used keep the prices of some apart- ments below market price, but grants or other programs will be needed to produce deeper affordability. So far there have already been some residents displaced.”  e housing bubble of 2008 delayed construction of new buildings, but developers are now taking on East Riverside projects, said Malcolm Yeatts, who represented East Riverside with Go during EROC’s creation. “ ere were a lot of a ordable buildings that got torn down and then the real estate bust happened, creating lot of vacant land in Riverside,” Yeatts said. “Since the economy has recov- ered, yes, that construction has started again.” Yeatts said ongoing development is now concentrated close to I-35, and he is not sure if it would a ect student housing prices. “Generally there’s a trend with higher-density zoning where there’s a whole lot more units in the area, but they aren’t going to be in the price range that most students are going to consider af- fordable,” Yeatts said. “Right now it’s further away from the solidly built student housing [that is] closer to Pleasant Valley Drive.” “THE HAND THEY ARE DEALT” Jesus Guevara, an associate academic adviser in the School of Undergraduate Studies, lived in East Riverside for four years as an undergraduate from 2005 to 2009 and now advises many students who commute from the neighborhood. Guevara said he has seen the new buildings rising in West Campus and has heard students worry about being “pushed out.” “Students are starting to see these new buildings go up and know they are going to be gentri ed,” Guevara said. “Down the road, they worry that management is going to raise their prices when other expensive buildings come in.” The high cost of housing in other parts of Austin has long resulted in problems of another sort for East Riverside residents with limited options because of limited income, Guevara said. “It feels almost like Riverside apartments know their students have nowhere else to go, and management is pretty bad as a result,” Guevara said. “I’ve had my own issues with stuff not getting done on time, lost checks and all those kind of issues. Riverside complexes know they don’t have to fix this, so bad things happen to the students again because they have to deal the hand they are dealt.” Latin American studies senior Yadira Ramos Luna, a His- panic member of the Latino Leadership Council, said she has experienced management problems at her apartment in East Riverside. “When me and my roommates moved into our apart- ment, it was infested with fleas,” Luna said. “We had to go together to the management office every day for a week and a half before they agreed to change the carpet and clean the sofa.” Luna said the complex also lost her checks and billed her multiple times with late fees when she had paid the rent on time. “People ask me why I don’t change to other places, and I tell them it’s all the same wherever you go,” Luna said. “My roommate tells me that at University Estates, it’s much worse. I only pay $400 for an apartment, so I can’t say much, and I can’t go and pay for a luxury place in West Campus or some- where else.” Gavin Short, property manager at University Estates, said he believed there was no di erence in service quality between complexes in Riverside and West Campus.  e complex is one of the largest in the area. “There are communities in both markets geared toward various price points and offering various amenities,” Short said. “It may be true that there are communities in either location that are better at operating the communities than others, but that would have more to do with the manage- ment companies, site staff, ownership, etc. rather than the physical address of the property.” The Austin Planning Commission, a program of Aus- tin City Council, is deliberating a plan similar to EROC that would apply to neighborhoods even farther east. City officials said they don’t know where students and low- income families will go if prices in more parts of East Austin spike.

When Brandon Stone signed his letter of intent with Texas last November, the Longhorns’ coaching staff had high aspirations for a player that they felt could greatly contribute as a freshman. What was not expected was just how just how im- mediately his impact would be felt. Stone burst onto the scene at the Carpet Capital Col- legiate, his  rst-ever col- legiate tournament, earlier this month, outplaying ev- ery member of the 15-team  eld on his way to the top of the individual leaderboard. His performance was key in leading the Longhorns to their  rst team victory of the 2012-13 season, and in the process Stone recorded the best single round score by a Longhorn in 12 years with his 9-under-63 in the second round of the tournament. Although he was pleased with his dominant debut with the Longhorns, Stone was more satisfied with the fact his contributions helped Texas come away on top. “It meant a lot to me from the aspect that I’m joining a good team and this showed me that I’m able to compete,” Stone said. “I was more in- terested in how the team was doing throughout the tourna- ment.  e team comes  rst, and that’s how I will continue to feel going forward.” Immense success is nothing new for Stone, however. Ranked as the top amateur golfer in his native South Africa and 30th in the world, Stone has been dominating tournaments since he began competing at 12 years old. Stone took his golfing career to the next level when he began competing internationally at age 15, and over the past three years he has claimed victory in more than 15 events. He has also repre- sented his home country on several occasions, some- thing he will do once again from Oct. 4-7 at the World Amateur Team Champion- ships in Turkey. Stone had little trouble deciding which college to play at, as he fell in love with Texas the  rst time he visit- ed. Despite receiving interest from a number of high pro-  le schools, including TCU, Texas A&M and Florida, Stone found the UT campus, the city of Austin and the Longhorns’ golf program too much to pass up. “I always wanted come here,” Stone said. “When I came to visit the campus, I loved how the coaches ran things, and I loved the people and places here.  e moment I came, I knew I wanted to play here.”  e coaching sta has been pleased with Stone thus far, and they believe Stone has the ability to continue his success over the course of the season. In addition to his breakout performance in Texas’  rst tournament, the Stone’s focus and work ethic in practice has already made him a leader for the Longhorns. “We knew coming in that he was going to be an exceptional player, and he certainly has not disap- pointed,” head coach John Fields said. “Obviously as a freshman, you don’t know exactly what he’s going to do, but he has done what we thought he could do. We knew what he was capable of doing.” Likewise, Stone’s teammates have been impressed with him, and they are con dent he will be one of the biggest players in their title defense. “Coming in as one of the top players from South Af- rica, you’re going to have high expectations,” senior Julio Vegas said. “He’s been ready to play and he’s go- ing to help the team. He’s a great player and we’re hap- py to have him here.” Moving forward, Stone aspires to one day play pro- fessionally in the U.S. on the PGA Tour. This season, however, the Stone has di- rected his focus to helping the Longhorns win, and he could very well end up being the key to the Long- horns’ title defense. utrecsports.orgRUN A 10KTRAINING STARTS SOONINTENSITYSTARTS HEREChristian Corona, Sports Editor Sports6Friday, September 21, 2012SIDELINEMEN’S GOLFStone meets lofty expectationsBen Chesnut | Daily Texan Staff Brandon Stone has already made an early impact at Texas. His performance in his first collegiate tournament led Texas to an early season win, and recorded the lowest round by a Longhorn in 12 years. By Peter SblendorioWEEKEND PREVIEWsvolleyball | sara beth purdysoccer | WES MAULSBY At the beginning of the season, the No. 9 Long- horns were picked to  n- ish, once again, at the top of the Big 12 conference. Despite having already played fellow conference member West Virginia in September, the path to the 2012 Big 12 crown re- ally begins Saturday night against long time rivals Oklahoma at home. Texas is 8-3 in the sea- son and 1-0 against Big 12 conference opponents this season. In its first conference game, Texas swept Big 12 newcomer West Virginia on the road Aug. 29. The Long- horns were picked as unanimous preseason favorites to win the con- ference. Oklahoma, who beat Kansas State earlier in the year, is the only other team with a win in Big 12 play this season.  e Longhorns lead the all-time series against Oklahoma with a record of 38-3. Last season the Long- horns went 1-1 against the Sooners.  e Sooners won their  rst meeting against the Longhorns in  ve sets — Texas’ only loss in Big 12 play last year — before the Longhorns beat the Sooners when they vis- ited Austin last November with a 3-1 win. The Sooners come to Gregory Gym unranked but with an impres- sive 12-3 record on the season and a 1-0 Big 12 conference record. The Sooners are fresh off of their upset sweep over No. 11 Kansas State in their 2012 conference opener. They are riding a six-game win streak, the last five of which were three-set sweeps. “Oklahoma is playing very well right now,” Texas head coach Jerritt Elliott said. Freshman Oklahoma setter Julia Doyle has given Sooner fans a lot to talk about this season. Against Kansas State, Doyle totaled five service aces, a personal best. Another Sooner to watch out for Saturday is junior Sallie McLaurin, who earned an honorable mention spot on last sea- son’s All-American team. McLaurin was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year last year and led the Big 12 in blocks at 1.37 per set, with 25 solo and 137 block as- sists on the season. Currently Texas is sec- ond in the country in blocking, having notched 3.16 blocks per set.  is week sophomore Haley Eckerman rose to seventh in the nation for points per set at 5.27. Eckerman has 166 kills on the season and is hitting .288. Saturday’s match against Oklahoma will also feature this year’s Texas Traditions Day. Fans will get to take pic- tures with iconic Texas figures such as Bevo, Big Bertha, Texas Cheer and Pom. Texas Traditions Day will begin at 4 p.m. in Gregory Gym, and the game will begin at 5 p.m. Texas will begin its defense of the Big 12 con- ference crown on Saturday as it hosts rival Oklahoma. The Longhorns are 38-3 all time against the Sooners. Nathan GoldsmithDaily Texan Staff Texas will take its show on the road for the  rst confer- ence games under new head coach Angela Kelly.  e Longhorns will start their Big 12 schedule against Iowa State and Oklahoma over the weekend.  e Cyclones are riding a hot streak into Big 12 play, winning four out of their last  ve games, including a 7-1 win over Northern Iowa in early September.  ey are cur- rently fourth in the conference standings with a 7-3 record. Two out of their three losses this season have come against ranked foes, with the third coming at home to their main rival, Iowa. Iowa State is third in the conference in points and goals and will put a lot of pressure on the Texas defense and fresh- man goalkeeper Abby Smith.  e Longhorns are in the bot- tom third in the conference in goals allowed. Texas will stop by Norman Sunday for a match against Oklahoma.  e Sooners are struggling with a 4-4-2 record heading into Friday’s matchup with Baylor, the highest scor- ing team in the Big 12. But unlike Texas, Oklahoma is limping into conference play a er losing to Oral Roberts and SMU and managing a tie against Rice at home.  e Sooners have allowed 12 goals this season and have only shut out one opponent.  ey have one of the worst o enses in the Big 12 but are right behind Texas in points in goals. Having scored six goals in their past two games, the Longhorns may have  nally gotten their o ense clicking while the Sooners have scored just one goal in their past four games. While Oklahoma and Tex- as look similar on paper, the Sooners are the only team to have beaten defending Big 12 champions Oklahoma State so far this season.  is is an important two- game stretch for Texas.  e Longhorns face three of the top  ve teams in the confer- ence a er this weekend and will need to get wins any way they can.  e Longhorns are coming o of a strong weekend and will need to carry that mo- mentum into tonight’s game in order to have a chance at a good  nish in conference play. Texas will begin with its matchup against Iowa State Friday at 7 p.m. It will conclude the week- end play- ing against Oklahoma on Sun- day with kicko at 1 p.m. RANGERSANGELS“I often sit back and wonder if heavengot a ghetto #thuglife” Dean Melchionni@UncleDream717TOP TWEETCoach Billy Gillipsie Leaves Texas TechAmid allegations of player mistreatment, Tex- as Tech head basketball coach Billy Gillispie has resigned citing health con- cerns.

The Longhorns finished as runners-up in the Big 12 tournament and tied for 13 in the NCAA Championship. Texas opens its 2013 season Friday through Sunday with the Mason Rudolph Championship in Franklin, Tenn. “This is going to be a great year,” senior Haley Stephens said. “We’ve had a lot of great preparation, and we have a good mix of players. We have four seniors and three fresh- men going on the trip this weekend. We gel to- gether, and we’re ready for great golf.” In addition to their success in the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, the Longhorns won two other tournaments. But that accomplishment was overshadowed by the men’s team winning a na- tional championship. Ste- phens said that the men’s triumph has inspired her to do better. “It really sets the bar within the culture,” Ste- phens said. “It gives me chills to see the pictures that they have taken and to see them day in and day out. I feel like I’m a part of that from the outside in. It feeds us knowing that now it’s been done.” In addition to Stephens, the Longhorns return with sophomore Bertine Strauss, who finished last season ranked No. 98 in the GolfWeek Women’s Player Rankings. As a team, the Longhorns are 28th in the Golfweek rankings and unranked by the National Golf Coaches Association. Stephens said she doesn’t look too much into the rankings. “Rankings are good to see where you stack up, but there are a lot of poli- tics in it,” Stephens said. “Numbers don’t de ne us. We don’t let those rankings determine how we are.” Despite the rankings, the team is ready for the season to begin. “We are all excited,” Ste- phens said. “We’re going to Nashville and for the fresh- men, this is their  rst trip.  ere’s good excitement, and we all have good vibes. It’s a great environment to be a part of.” They say there’s no place like home. For the Long- horns, home is hopefully the place where they set the tone for the season. “This is a great event to kick off the season at home,” head coach Patty Fendick-McCain said. “We’re going to get a good look at West Virginia, who is new to our conference.” Texas hosts the Longhorn Invitational this weekend, where 12 teams, including  ve others from Texas, will be competing. Coming o of her straight-sets loss in the  - nals last weekend at the Duke Invitational, sopho- more Noel Scott looks to take  rst place this time around. Considering the opposition she will be going up against this weekend, the task will be a challenge. “ e tournament’s go- ing to be full of high-level players, a lot of challenging matches,” Scott said. “I beat some really good players last week and just want to keep it up.” Senior Aeriel Ellis, ranked No. 20, is o this weekend, while sophomore Lina Pa- degimaite will see action for the  rst time this season.  e No. 18-ranked doubles tandem of Scott and Pade- gimaite will take the court for the Longhorns. Scott also faces Caroline  ornton of Tulane in the  rst round of singles play in the Orange Bracket. Junior Eliza- beth Begley joins Scott in the bracket, setting up a possible all-Longhorns semi nal. Sophomore Annat Rabi- novich squares o against Leah Fried of Rice Univer- sity in the Black Bracket. She will also pair up with Victo- ria Parshikova of North Tex- as in doubles play, although they will not be playing an o cial match. Junior Juliana Gajic will play in the singles’ White Bracket, matching up with UTSA’s Jacobea Junger. Play at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center will begin each day at 8:30 a.m. starting Friday and will run through Sunday, with the  nals end- ing around 2:00 p.m. Haley Stephens SeniorNoel Scott Sophomore RECYCLE .THE DAILY TEXANAFTER READING YOUR COPY COMING UP FOR GOLFAUSTIN, TXLONGHORN INVITATIONALDate: Friday-SundayTime: All dayFRANKLIN, TNMASON RUDOLPH CHAMIONSHIPDate: Friday-SundayTime: All dayCOMING UP FOR TENNIS · SPIRITS · FINER FOODS(512) 366-8260 ·specsonline.comCHEERS TO SAVINGS!® a real world job to jump-start a real world careerThe largest college media agency in the nation, Texas Student Media, is looking for a few goal-drivencollege students to work in our Advertising department!

His images are crafted with a confidence and precision that very few working directors possess, and every frame of “The Master” is a work of art, each element exactly where it should be. The Alamo Draft- house recently outfitted its downtown location with the ability to show films in 70mm simply so it could play the film how Anderson intended. If you get a chance to see the film in that fashion, absolutely do so. There aren’t many sweeping vi- sual flourishes, and many of its biggest scenes consist of close- ups, but the level of detail that 70mm allows is unprecedented and gorgeous. The film is a technical mar- vel to boot. Jonny Greenwood’s score is practically magic: a seductive, emphatic work that adds dramatic weight to even the smallest moment. Even things that usually go unno- ticed, like costume and produc- tion design, stick out here, and Anderson’s attention to detail deserves commendation. He’s created a real and unique world for his characters here, and that alone is an achievement. The best films leave you with a sense of elation, a feel- ing that you’ve seen something truly special, and there are parts of “The Master” that in- spire that childlike giddiness. Phoenix and Hoffman’s work, Greenwood’s score and many of the images that Anderson captures are among the best of the year, but when the credits roll, that rush of having con- nected with a film on a purely emotional level simply isn’t there. Not that “The Master” doesn’t deserve multiple view- ings, because I can’t wait to see the film again and hope that many of my issues with it are allayed by a second viewing. Nonetheless, “The Master” is my favorite working filmmak- er taking a step back for the first time, and that’s perhaps the biggest disappointment it has to offer.

Here to challenge this per- ception is Austin PRIDE, Saturday, Sept. 22, put to- gether by the Austin Gay and Lesbian Pride Founda- tion. Currently in its 21st year, PRIDE hopes to both celebrate minority identities and promote lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and queer equality awareness. Considering Obama’s re- cent endorsement of same- sex marriage and Romney’s voiced opposition, this could be a critical election year for the issue. Under this year’s theme, “YOUnify and celebrate,” the festival will last all day and is expecting more than 35,000 participants. This year’s festival has increased the quantity of pre-sale tick- ets sold by 1000 percent from last year, including some to people overseas and in two- dozen other states. Vendors from all over the country, including some from Seattle, New York City and Milwau- kee, will also attend to sell their wares. With a long list of spon- sors, such as Macy’s, BudLight, Subaru, Wells Fargo, Progressive and the Alamo Drafthouse, PRIDE is Austin’s largest annual LGBTQ event. Hoping to disperse a message of equal- ity and unconditional love, the foundation will donate all of its profits to four lo- cal LGBTQ nonprofit or- ganizations: AIDS Services of Austin, Equality Texas, Out Youth and Transgen- der Education Network of Texas. The Austin Gay and Lesbian Pride Foundation is comprised of only a handful of members and instead will rely on an army of volunteers as its backbone for labor. PRIDE is a large-scale operation and must be de- lineated into three separate events: the Rainbow Run, the Pride Festival and the Pride Parade. PRIDE begins at 9 a.m. with the third annual Rain- bow Run, a 5K across Lady Bird Lake and through downtown. Culminating in a “color explosion” of edi- ble powder rainbows at the finish line, the ending area will also feature a DJ stage and a variety of health and fitness vendor tents. The Pride Festival will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Fiesta Gardens on Lady Bird Lake. Headlined by the risque Peaches, the music lineup will also fea- ture ‘80s legends Stacey Q and Shannon and a number of RuPaul’s drag queens. Lastly, the Pride Parade will begin at 8 p.m. boast- ing a lineup of more than 87 different attractions, including musical acts, flaming baton twirlers and several dozen floats, the pa- rade will start at the Capitol and proceed along a closed- down Congress Avenue. Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, is slated to par- ticipate in the march, and the City Council waived the fees for traffic control. Fueled by a passion for obtaining equal rights, Paul Huddleston, president of the Pride Foundation, said he personally put in 1,300 hours of uncompensated volunteer work to coor- dinate and optimize this year’s festival. “A normal day for me consists of, when I’m not working at my real job as a realtor, making tons of phone calls to various spon- sors and organizations and even doing smaller things on social networking sites,” Huddleston said. Born in Germany and raised in Killeen, Texas, Huddleston solidified his commitment through per- sonal experiences of dis- crimination. Having been bullied throughout his time spent in the Texas public school system, he, as a real- tor, said he still faces bigotry perpetuated by adult busi- nessmen even in a profes- sional climate. “Some refuse to do busi- ness with me solely because of my sexuality,” Hud- dleston said. “I won’t stand for that.” Last year Huddleston made the decision to move the festival from June to September so more students would be in town to attend. He said that his organization is specifically trying to at- tract college students due to their ability to influence to- morrow’s policies. In Princ- eton Review’s 2012 study on “Most LGBT unfriendly” schools, Texas is represented more than any other state, with Baylor, Texas A&M and the University of Dallas making the list. “There are traditionalist schools like those,” Hud- dleston said, “And then there’s UT-Austin.” PRIDE aims to be an empowering and enlight- ening experience for both LGBTQ identifiers and their heterosexual allies. However, not everyone is supportive of Austin PRIDE. Protestors have consistently attended in the past. Regardless, Hud- dleston remains unwaver- ing and optimistic. “In the ‘50s, gays were considered communists, had their mail inspected, were forced to wear specific kinds of clothes and could be fired for nothing,” Hud- dleston said. “The first gay parades in the 1970s saw protestors throw dog [fe- ces] at participants. Soci- ety as a whole has come a long way, except for a few people who will be seen as being on the wrong side of history.” Marisa Vasquez | Daily Texan StaffPaul Huddleston, president of the Austin Gay and Lesbian Pride Foundation, helped organize PRIDE, which will be held Saturday, Sept. 22.PRIDE prepares partyBy Shane MillerPRIDEWhere: Rainbow Run: Riverside Dr. and S. 1st StreetFestival: 2101 Jesse E Segovia St. Parade: Austin CapitolWhen: SaturdayRainbow Run: 9 a.m. Festival: 11 a.m. Parade: 8 p.m. Price: Rainbow Run: $25Festival: $15Parade: FreeWebsite: www.austinpride.org EVEnt PREVIEW | PRIDEOn Wednesday night, the Division of Housing and Food Service hosted a “Mexican American Cul- tural Dinner,” publicized as a “chance to get acquainted with authentic Mexican cui- sine as we celebrate the coun- try’s rich culture.” The menu boasted soups, salads, tacos, “street food,” desserts and, to ripen the deal, a live mariachi band. Lured by the promise of all-you-can-eat culturally inspired cafeteria food, in- cluding unlimited Mexican “pan dulces,” I immediately saved the date. I expected to gorge on food that resembled “authentic Mexican” only to the same extent that Taco Bell resembles Guadalajaran street fare. I hoped to win a limited- edition DHFS T-shirt. Lucky for me, the event met my ex- pectations perfectly: I walked away from Kinsolving with a stomach full of decent but forgettable food and a back draped in a free shirt. Walking into Kinsolving, I noticed two things immedi- ately: that distinctive Kinsolv- ing smell was just a tad spicier, and DHFS had set up a fiesta- colored photo booth in which I could force my dinner com- panions to participate. I bolted for the dining room. I started my feast with the advertised “Achiote Grilled Shrimp Taco,” which was less grilled than it was boiled for 24 hours until indecipherable in texture from lumpy mashed potatoes. Served on a limp white torti- lla, the flavor contained notes of both imitation shellfish and store-brand taco seasoning. Alarmingly, the rice served as a side had nearly the same tex- ture and flavor as the shrimp. Although I am admittedly not a Mexican cuisine expert, I suspect that you won’t find overcooked shellfish tossed in Hamburger Helper being peddled by the street vendors of Jalisco. I ate it anyway, be- cause that’s what Kins is for. Luckily, DHFS prepared a relative hit with the refried beans, which tasted like refried beans — a sure success. My main course, a “Pamboso with chorizo and potatoes topped with Guajillo sauce,” devi- ated from the menu’s steady course of mediocrity, though not its trend of cultural inac- curacy — pamboso is more accurately spelled “pambazo,” a type of bread. . The dish, however, stood out from Kinsolving’susual offerings. The flat pambazo had a floury crust and a chewy center that dutifully soaked up the near- flavorless Guajillo sauce on top. The chorizo and potatoes tossed in the sauce met expec- tations: slightly mushy and de- cidedly flavorless. Again, I ate it all. I finished my meal with the “pan dulces,” Mexican sweet breads, a mostly inoffensive- tasting group of sugary pas- tries with unfamiliar names. Despite eating more than three plates of food, I left hungry. While DHFS may have failed at crafting a satisfying and au- thentic Mexican meal, it suc- ceeded in spicing up the usual dining environment. Through- out the meal, the mariachi band played both as a group for a crowd and as solo performers, breaking up to sit separately in dining hall chairs. Attendees seemed to enjoy the festive at- mosphere. At the table beside mine, Nathan Vest, a history junior, declared that Kinsolving was “the most bopping place north of the border.” DHFS could have more ac- curately described the menu as “normal cafeteria food with too much taco seasoning and a cre- ative presentation, eaten to the sound of mariachi music in- stead of the monotonous drone of conversation.” Maybe next time it can cut the budget for culturally inspired decorations and entertainment and focus on buying fresh ingredients. Dining halls offer food fiestaBy Laura WrightFooDMASTERcontinues from page 10 Life & Arts10By now, Paul Thomas An- derson films are practically cinematic events. Anderson’s work is known for its surgically precise imagery, performances beyond reproach and distinct soundtracks that “The Master” is happy to oblige. What it does lack is a strong script. Not to say Anderson hasn’t baited a compelling hook for his audience. The story of Fred- die Quell (Joaquin Phoenix), a veteran set adrift into an afflu- ent postwar America, isn’t quite like anything you’ve seen before. Freddie is helplessly compulsive to the point of being self-de- structive and Phoenix plays the character with a perpetual snarl, a force of nature just looking for an excuse. He is a harsh pres- ence in appearance, demeanor and even in the way he deliv- ers dialogue. Every scene has an added edge simply because there is no way to predict what Freddie is going to do. Early in the film, Freddie stumbles onto a boat owned by Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the enig- matic leader of a movement called “The Cause.” Almost im- mediately, they inspire a mad- ness in each other. Something in the boy inspires Dodd in a way that his followers cannot. The moments between Freddie and Dodd, small-scale sparring matches, are the best and most illuminating “The Master” has to offer. Much has been made of the similarities between “The Cause” and Scientology, and scenes where Dodd puts Freddie through a few of his “scientific” experiments are absolutely riveting, both for the character work on-screen and their inspiration off-screen. Hoffman’s performance is largely built around Dodd’s in- teractions with Freddie. His slow ideological seduction is fasci- nating to watch simply for how completely Hoffman embodies the character. When Dodd takes to the pulpit, we see a different side of him, almost a different character, and Hoffman dem- onstrates remarkable charisma as he delivers verbal manure so convincingly that you almost buy into his schtick. Amy Adams, playing Dodd’s steadfast wife, is sparsely uti- lized, but when she is, she’s a fiery, supportive partner, seized with legitimate fervor in her husband and the empire he’s building. It’s a beautifully im- passioned performance and one of the many elements that could use some filling out. There’s no denying that “The Master” is packed with compel- ling ingredients, but the final dish is shapeless and unsatisfy- ing. The best word to describe the film upon first viewing is “chewy,” peppered with mo- ments of undeniable brilliance and dramatic resonance, but so maddeningly oblique that it’s hard to swallow. Freddie and Dodd are fasci- nating figures and “The Mas- ter” spends a lot of time wal- lowing in their dynamic, but it ultimately fails to pay off those interactions. The final scene between the two is a dramatic moment crippled by writing that sucks out any energy or feeling despite boasting one of Hoffman’s most beautifully acted moments in the film. Certainly traditional storytell- ing isn’t a requirement for clas- sic cinema, but there’s a reason dramatic structure dictates a beginning, middle and end, a satisfying conclusion that “The Master” simply lacks. Even if his script isn’t quite the connective tissue it should be, Anderson is at the top of his McKinney, Life & Arts Editor Friday, September 21, 2012The Record is a biweekly Life & Arts segment dedicated to featuring the many people and traditions that make The Uni- versity of Texas at Austin such a unique place. For our second edition, we talk to Erick Muñoz and the rest of the University Filmmakers’ Alliance officers about movies, banana suits and master filmmakers. Erick, as organization presi- dent, starts us off by telling us what University Filmmakers’ Alliance is all about. Erick Muñoz: UFA is an organization meant for stu- dents with a passion for film to network and get hands-on experience. As an RTF stu- dent, it takes you a few semes- ters to actually work a camera or shoot a short film, so in UFA we say, let’s jump on it now! There’s a lot of talent that needs to be seen, and we’re ready to see it and nourish it. The Daily Texan: Very cool! So, since you pride your- selves in incubating tal- ent, do you think some of the next great filmmakers might come from UFA? Muñoz: I am sure that we’ll be seeing some of our mem- bers’ names on a big screen in the future. The amount of people I’ve met in UFA that are right now in Los Angeles working in different compa- nies is incredible. DT: That’s very good to hear, Do you think any of these future master filmmakers would make a film about his/her time at UFA? Muñoz: [Laughs.] I guess that would depend on how crazy we manage to make this year, wouldn’t it? I’m pretty sure that there’s more than one crazy movie that can come out of UFA’s anecdotes. DT: Ah, so UFA has a legacy of crazy anecdotes, then? What has been the craziest thing that has happened at UFA? Muñoz: I don’t think I should disclose this one, but it in- volves cameras, a piñata, over 50 filmmakers and a variety of tropical fruits. DT: [Laughs.] I’ll just have to wait to watch the mov- ie, then. And speaking of which, if someone were to make a movie starring the UFA officers, what would it be about? Muñoz: Knowing how differ- ent our personalities are, you could very much have “The Hangover Reloaded” or a weirder version of “Gilligan’s Island.” Actually, that sounds interesting: the officers in a deserted island would be an interesting “Lord of the Flies”-esque experiment. DT: Lastly, Erick, I’ve heard you have a very unique ap- proach to answering UFA emails. Can you elaborate? Muñoz: I try and keep it as relaxed as I can so that the members realize that we can all just take a moment and have fun in this organiza- tion. If I receive an email ask- ing me how to join UFA, I’ll probably say something like, “Dress in a banana suit and run around campus yelling that Oprah is an alien from Saturn ... or just come to our meetings. Your choice.” MASTER continues on page 9Film masters visuals despite lacking plotPOP INDEXBY ALEKSANDER CHANHORNS DOWNHORNS UP“The Master.” Paul Thomas Anderson latest virtuoso masterwork.
