HEALTH Health care worker tests positive for Ebola virus By Natalie Sullivan @natsullivan94 A health care worker in Dallas has tested positive for the Ebola virus, oicials from the Centers for Dis- ease Control and Prevention announced Sunday. his is the second known case of the virus in the U.S., and, if the preliminary results are conirmed, it will be the irst time the virus has been transmitted between humans in the U.S. In a press conference Sunday, CDC Director Tom Frieden said the health care worker is a female nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. According to Frie- den, the nurse had provided care and had “extensive con- tact” with homas Duncan, who died last week and was the irst person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. Frieden said oicials are examining the case to try and igure out what caused the nurse to contract the virus, since she was in full protective gear when caring for Duncan. “We don’t know what oc- curred in the care of the in- dex patient, the original pa- tient in Dallas, but, at some point, there was a breach in protocol, and that breach in protocol resulted in this in- fection,” Frieden said.

For the irst time since is the University 2010, increasing the percentage with which Texas students are automatically accepted to the University from the top-7 percent of high school classes to the top-8 percent. he change will go into efect for those applying for admission beginning in fall 2016. Before 2010, the Universi- ty automatically accepted the top-10 percent of high school classes. Since fall 2011, the University has been required by law to admit 75 percent of its incoming freshmen auto- matically based on their high school class rankings and has changed the automatic ac- ceptance threshold. Between fall 2011 and fall 2013, the University’s aver- irst-time age composite SAT score for freshmen increased 0.8 percent from a composite score of 1858 to 1872, according to data from the University’s Institutional Reporting, Research, and Information Systems. In fall 2007, ater the SAT switched to a 2400-point grading sys- tem, the score was 1833. he College Board announced earlier it will this year switch back to a 1600-point grading system. David Laude, senior vice provost for enrollment and graduation management, said in- the University’s crease in SAT scores might SAT page 2 Texas hot streak nearly sparks comeback FOOTBALL By Stefan Scraield @stefanscraield All week long, Longhorn players and coaches talked about the importance of big plays in the Red River Rival- ry. hey stressed how help- ful it would be if Texas could score on defense or come up with a momentum shiting play on special teams. Sure enough, before the 10-minute mark of the sec- ond quarter, there had already been a kick return touchdown and a pick-six. Unfortunately for the Longhorns, both had come from the Sooners. Oklahoma’s sophomore running back Alex Ross re- turned a kickof 91 yards, and sophomore defensive back Zack Sanchez took an interception 43 yards for a score, as the Sooners beat Texas, 31-26, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Saturday. “It’s heartbreaking for us,” Erin McGann dis- cusses her plat- form for the City Council elections in an interview at Spiderhouse on Saturday after- noon.

CITY RESEARCH District 9 candidate prepares for election, plans for future By Jackie Wang @jcqlnwng Erin McGann, candidate for the Austin City Council’s District 9 seat, sat down with The Daily Texan to discuss her plans should she be reelected. This year’s city election is the first under the Council’s 10-ONE struc- ture, in which each council member will represent one of 10 geographic districts in the city. The interview is the second in a series of three with the District 9 candidates. he Daily Texan: How do you feel about the new 10- ONE system that is going into efect with this elec- tion, especially since, if you are elected, there would be an entirely new council? Erin McGann: I am look- ing forward to a spanking new system. Every single one of us running feels the weight of making this work. We all talk about this. his is momentous. We all feel like we have to work incred- ibly hard and make sure we are working together and considering the whole city when we talk about our own districts, and we need to make sure everything is run- ning well, and we’re commu- nicating well. DT: How will you involve students in your policy- making if you are elected? EM: I have an open-door policy and a one-business- day response policy. hose are my personal policies but also my current work poli- cies. If you have a question, I will call you back or respond to your email. I intend to have hours outside of eight- to-ive, and I intend to do those out in the community.

She and her team wondered if this had a positive or nega- tive impact on their sales and if their customers felt comfortable when visiting their stores. “We found that this is not a good strategy,” Pounders said. “If customers see that they don’t it, they feel un- comfortable, and there’s not a lot of purchase attention.” However, Babin said this look policy has both posi- tive and negative efects. He said, if the service pro- vider, such as the store or restaurant, seemed as if it was forcing people to look a certain way, they would have bad feedback, but, if the LOOKALIKES page 2 NEWS OPINION SPORTS LIFE&ARTS ONLINE REASON TO PARTY Vote no on Austin’s Proposition 1.

Schools like the Cock- rell School of Engineering and the College of Natural Scienc- es naturally look for students who have high math SATs.” Laude said the competition between people to be in the top percent of their classes pro- duces students who are better at taking standardized tests. Students who are not admit- ted as automatic qualiiers are accepted under holistic review. “Holistic review asks that we look at a large number of diferent factors to deter- mine who it is who will be admitted,” Laude said. “SAT is just one of those. How- ever, because there’s such substantial interest in STEM ields, I think you start to see a disproportionate weight- ing given toward the SAT for those particular areas because admissions is looking for a goodness of it for a student.” SAT and ACT scores of Austin Independent School District have also increased. students According to AISD, the aver- age overall SAT scores for AISD students during the 2013-2014 school year was 1507, com- pared with 1432 statewide. he average ACT composite score for AISD students was 21.9, ex- ceeding the state and national average composite scores of 20.9 and 21.0, respectively. “Preparing Austin students to graduate college-ready is among our top priorities at AISD,” AISD Interim Su- perintendent Paul Cruz said in a statement. “An increase in SAT and ACT scores, as well as higher participation in taking these exams, shows we are making progress.” Laude said about 38,000 students applied to the Uni- versity in fall 2013, and he expects this number to grow over the next few years, therefore the competition for non-auto- matic qualifying spots. increasing “It means you just have to be really, really good across the board to be able to get in,” Laude said. Ebola in a lab in Austin. “he individual was self- monitoring, and, immedi- ately on developing symp- toms, as appropriate, she contacted the health care sys- tem, and, when she came in, she was promptly isolated,” Frieden said. he press release stated health oicials have inter- viewed the patient and have identiied only one possible contact that could have been exposed to the virus. David Lakey, commission- er of the Texas Department of State Health Services, said the department has been ramping up control measures to prepare for further possi- ble transmission of the virus. “We knew a second case could be a reality, and we’ve been preparing for this pos- sibility,” Lakey said. “We are broadening our team in Dallas and working with ex- treme diligence to prevent further spread.” Frieden said the CDC plans to focus on four things relat- ed to the second Ebola case — caring for the worker, as- sessing her possible contacts from when she developed symptoms, evaluating other possible exposures to the vi- rus, and launching an inves- tigation to ind out how the breach in protocol happened.

DT: Are you concerned about student turnout this election? EM: Someone told me in the last May election, 35 students voted. The last big election we had, thousands of students voted because that was the Obama and gubernatorial election, and it was big. But that is really indicative that students don’t feel they need to be involved with city politics. Right now, it’s the most impor- tant time to be involved in city politics. DT: You have spoken out against Proposition 1, also known as the urban rail plan. Why are you against it? EM: he urban rail is too expensive, and the route is really bad. Whatever the last time was when we voted on this, it was a great route. But, it was voted down, and it was less expensive. his route being set up is certain- ly not going to reduce any traic because traic doesn’t run from Highland Mall to the Riverside ACC campus. It also is not going to ad- dress our most used areas of transportation. We’re going to get at least 10 years of traffic with construction. Gov- ernment projects don’t come in under time and under budget. It’s going to take more than $3.1 billion when we finish it. DT: What other issues are you passionate about? EM: I really strongly be- lieve that we need to change the ordinance that they’re calling the “stealth dorm or- dinance.” I was disappointed to hear that passed; it puts entirely too much burden on students and lower-in- come people. DT: What speciic top- ics would you focus on as a City Council member? EM: I could go and cut $30 million from the bud- get tomorrow. We’ve got all these jobs that float from year to year that aren’t filled but funded. 10 per- cent of the jobs of Austin are unfilled each year. We fund them in the budget.

According to Land’s re- search, “he Sociology of social Indicators,” Social indicators include unem- ployment rates, crime rates and measures of subjective well-being as a whole. Land, co-director of the Center for Population Health and Ag- ing at Duke, said he wanted to use feedback from the lecture to further his new research, which he hopes to have published next year. “When ‘Social Indica- tors’ was published in 1966, it came out during the time of the space race,” Land said. “During all of this, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences worked with NASA to detect and antici- pate the consequences the space program could have on society. Because of the lack of data at hand, this helped develop the idea of indicators.” Land also discussed the general development of so- cial indicators by showing their impacts in the diferent decades. “During ’70s, you the have lots of data systems being initiated,” Land said. “In the ’80s, there was a concern that the ield was dying. By the 1990s and the 2000s, there is a revival and expansion.” Part of the reason for the expansion is because of the study on the quality of life, according to Land. From that idea, Land said social indicators can now be mea- sured through the Human Development Index, also known as HDI. he index most commonly measures the human life expectancy ater birth, years of school- ing and living standards. Land said economists are inally accepting the impact of people’s happiness on the economy. Land also discussed the negative consequences that developments such as tech- nology and the top-1 per- cent can have. he impact of the top-1 percent is an im- portant aspect in his current research. Jim Walker, director of sustainability at UT, said he enjoyed the lecture. “I thought this was a good turnout,” Walker said. “I thought it was interesting how Land was able to take the University research and implement it into the com- munity.” Sociology professor Rob- ert Hummer said Land’s work has helped provide speciic information on so- cial changes. “It was a great and in- teresting lecture,” Hum- mer said. “In terms of what Land has done for our ield, he has shown how to better understand, measure and assess social changes. In his research, I would like to see Land really bring out the ex- treme wealth and show the broad measure on society.” Kenneth Land, sociology professor at Duke University, speaks as part of the “Brown Bag Seminars.” Land’s research focuses on the impacts of various social indicators.

Author discusses Victorian general By Chris Mendez @thedailytexan Author Richard Daven- port-Hines discussed the life and character of Victo- rian General Charles Gor- don at the Harry Ransom Center on Friday, as part of its weekly “British Studies Seminar” series. Davenport-Hines de- scribed Gordon’s rise from an artillery oicer to a gen- eral and his eventual death during the evacuation of British troops at Khartoum. “I’m going to look this af- ternoon at one of the oddest ish in the Victorian aquar- ium,” Davenport-Hines said. “A somber, menacing, grotesque creature who was idolized in his lifetime by English public opinion.” According to Hines, Gor- don grew fond of war ater his involvement in 1856 in the Crimean War. “Gordon disliked military life but liked war,” Daven- port-Hines said. “War was, for him, the only acceptable form of pleasure in life.” CAMPUS Davenport-Hines said that, in 1862, Gordon led a group of Chinese oicers ighting in the Taiping Re- bellion, earning him the name of “Chinese Gordon.” Davenport-Hines also talk- ed about Gordon’s intense Christian faith. “All his actions were ruled by God’s presence,” Daven- port-Hines said. “He saw himself living each day in the hands of God.” According to Hines, Gor- don’s death occurred dur- ing his evacuation of British troops in Sudan. Martyn Hitchcock, an Austin resident who attend- ed the lecture, said Hines’ lecture gave him a more de- tailed understanding of Gor- don’s signiicance. “his talk was efectively a biography and character description, which enabled me to ill in my knowledge of him,” Hitchcock said. “[I learned more about] the strange person he was.” Davenport-Hines said Gordon had a drinking problem toward the end of his life, despite his strong Christian faith. Davenport-Hines also said Gordon had a disdain for women and preferred the company of men and pre pubescent boys. “He found all women ei- ther fearsome or repulsive,” Davenport-Hines said. James Stratton, interna- tional relations and glob- al studies senior, said he had limited knowledge of Gordon before coming to the event. “I had heard about the Mahdi rebellion in Sudan,” Stratton said. Stratton said he was inter- ested in learning more about Gordon’s sexuality. “Also, [I was interested by] his sort of disdain for the fe- male sex,” Stratton said. “[I’m interested in] how people back then interpreted sexuality and how they dealt with it. He to- tally repressed it and covered it up with religion, and so how people in the past dealt with sexuality and their feelings was very interesting to me because of my own background.” Cassady Allen, pew-physical and health promo- tion senior, sorts through clothing at the thrift shop that was held on West Mall on Friday.

Who receives salutations depends on the school of thought. It is a mandatory practice per the Quran and hadiths. Two weekends ago, Oct. 4 and 5, was Eid Al- Adha, a religious holiday for more than 1.7 billion Muslims across the globe, 5 to 12 million Muslims in America, and for thousands of Muslims in Aus- tin. Eid Al-Adha occurs on the 10th day of Dhu Al-Hijjah, which is the twelth and last month of the Islamic calendar and lasts for four days. It is during this month that Muslims from around the world make Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Makkah. Islam requires all Muslims to perform Hajj, one of the ive pillars of Islam, at least once in their lives, so long as they are inancially and physi- cally able. he Abrahamic rites of Hajj include go- ing around the Ka’bah, the unifying point for wor- ship, seven times, and then going between the hills of Safa and Marwa seven times, as it is believed that Hagar (Hajir, Abraham’s wife) did during her search for water. Lastly, the pilgrims pray for God’s forgiveness while standing together on the plains of ‘Arafat. he conclusion of these rites is followed the next day by Eid Al-Adha. Eid Al-Adha commemorates the Abrahamic story of Prophet Abraham, or Ibrahim (pbuh). he Islamic narration, which varies only slightly from Judeo-Christian teachings, follows that Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) had a dream that God commanded him to sacriice his son. Initially, he thought it was the devil playing tricks, but he had the same dream again. Believing that God would not ask for such a thing without good rea- son, Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) took his beloved son Prophet Ismail (pbuh) to Mount Arafat, with a rope and knife ready. here, Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) explained his intentions to Prophet Ismail (pbuh) who responded with total submission to God’s will. Blindfolded, Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) took his knife to his son’s throat, but ater remov- ing his blindfold, he saw that a ram had replaced his son, who was standing unharmed next to his father. God then spoke, assuring them that they had not failed, but passed this very diicult test. COLUMN It is from this story that the tradition of adhiya also known as qurbani, the sacriice of an animal, has its roots. Depending on the traditions of your community and your aluence, people sacriice a wide range of animals, mostly goats, but also cows and camels. he meat from these animals is used to feed the poor, the idea being that everyone on this holiday should have the opportunity to ex- perience the holiday’s joy on a full stomach, once again reminding the people of the Islamic ideals of charity. For example, the people of Pakistan themselves have distributed over $3 billion worth of meat over the span of the holiday. he commemoration of the story of Prophet Abraham and Ismail (pbuh) is celebrated with great enthusiasm. he festivities oten include a myriad of colors, sights and tastes. Since Islam is a global religion, the diversity of traditions are in- numerable. he obligatory practice, regardless of race or ethnicity, is the Eid prayer, performed in the morning, much like the Christmas service. People come to the Masjid, or place of worship, donning their inest clothes and fragrances, and ater the prayer, families and friends will oten ex- change gits, go out to eat, and recite and listen to religious poetry. his holiday should serve as a reminder to both Muslims and non-Muslims that the Abrahamic traditions — Judaism, Christianity and Islam — have common origins, stories and values. If you ask the common citizen what diferentiates Islam from the other Abrahamic traditions, I can only imagine the discouraging responses. he violent and extreme actions of a few misguided so-called “Muslims” have taken control of the discourse, but it would be an injustice to simplify current global conlict as such. However, putting aside the con- lict’s political-economic nuances, as Muslims, we share a responsibility in this violent reality; we acknowledge this, and we fear extremism. Quite frankly, we need your help. As much as we make the case for Islam as a peace-loving religion and the clear ignorance of extremists, our voices can only be heard from so far. Let us recognize our common ground and our shared values, and to- gether with one resounding voice, tell the extrem- ists that they will not win. hey are wrong, and that our bonds of humanity are stronger than their decisive hate.

Illustration by Shannon Butler | Daily Texan Staff ACL has lost focus on music, shited instead to festivalgoers By Olivia Berkeley Senior Columnist @oliviaberkeley ACL didn’t use to be like this. As a native Austinite, I had the privilege of attending ACL before it turned into one of the biggest musical festivals in the country. My irst ACL experience was in 2006 when I was in middle school — I saw Gnarls Barkley and John Mayer with my mom because I was too young to go unchaperoned. I proceeded to attend the festival bienially over the course of my high school years, and ultimately gave up on buy- ing wristbands this past year. I didn’t have the money, and, more importantly, I wasn’t willing to exert the efort that has now become inextri- cably associated with ACL. While I was busy growing up in Austin, so was ACL. Over the past eight years, ACL has grown out of the ugly redheaded stepchild of music festivals stage and into the hip young adult one. Everyone and their mother now makes the efort to attend ACL, regardless of lineup. In the past, ticket purchase was depen- dent on who was playing, not on the overall ACL experience. You went for the actual music, not just to say you went. his isn’t to say that all the masses of people that go to ACL aren’t there for the music. Of course, most people have to have some artist at- tend to convince them to buy a wristband. But it is true that the spirit of the festival has changed signiicantly since its conception. People never used to dress up in their inest hippy clothes to go to ACL; it wasn’t a seen-and-be-seen kind of thing. High schoolers didn’t run rampant over Zilker Park, taking selies in the process. Mas- sive crowds didn’t prevent you from inding your friends. he “unknown” acts were actually unknown and not just trendy indie bands. he headliners that played in the mid 2000s would now be supporting acts. ACL isn’t alone in its transformation — the handful of other large music fests in the US like Coachella, Bonnaroo and Outside Lands are equally revered. he current music festival climate is one that is less focused on music and more devoted to creating a well-rounded festi- val experience. And, truth be told, there’s noth- ing wrong with that. It’s the way it is, and will be always be — it relects the necessary changes that had to be made to keep up with the times. he up-and-coming music festivals will one day graduate to festival stardom, bringing in more money and hype in the process. As long as people still recognize that, above all else, they are there for the music, I guess I can’t complain too much. Berkeley is a Plan II and public relations sophomore from Austin. Photo courtesy of Project Connect The proposed route of the Project Connect rail makes three stops on the UT campus, one be- ing nearby the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium as seen in this illustration. his November, vote no on Proposition 1 bond package Without a doubt, rail is a polarizing issue in Austin politics. On Tuesday, Student Govern- ment passed a resolution declaring support for Proposition 1, the Green Line urban rail and bond proposal. In July, given information and perspectives of the moment, this editorial board begrudgingly ofered its endorsement for Project Connect’s urban rail plan. Ater further consideration and deliberation, it is only with sincere disappointment that this board must withhold our endorsement of Proposition 1, to be voted on this November. While $600 million of the bond will go toward rail, $400 million of the bond is ear- marked for road improvements. Perhaps an ef- fort to shove a sub-par rail proposal down the public’s throat by enticing them with bundled road funds, the bundling of these two projects is unfortunate. Roads need improvement to alle- viate traic, and this disapproval of Proposition 1 should not be taken as disapproval of road im- provement. Rather, the laws of the urban rail plan outweigh the beneits of the linked road improvements. here are two facts about public transporta- tion that must be acknowledged before mov- ing forward. First, the purpose of public mass transit, contrary to many pro-rail advertising campaigns, is not to ease congestion of personal vehicles. Public transportation provides an al- ternative to congestion, but it will never be the solution. Second, like public schools and mu- nicipal parks, public transportation is a neces- sary public service, not meant to be inherently proitable but sustainable enough to facilitate the everyday travel of a functioning commu- nity. With these two considerations, we must avoid auto-centric, capitalistic conversation re- garding urban rail. he route north of the river has caused the most controversy. While Project Connect, the plan’s creator, constantly touts the ‘data-driven’ plan, we question the metrics used in this desig- nation. Project Connect used projected, as op- posed to current, density data to drive its route proposal. Areas surrounding the Red Line have not seen this projected density growth that jus- tiied its creation, and we fear that, if passed, the Green Line will sufer a similar fate. Capital Metro oten references the “success” of the Red Line to boost conidence in voters that it can handle this new project. hough riders and Francine Pares, communications manager at Capital Metro, testify that at peak hours the Red Line is so full that there is stand- ing room only, this is not a viable metric for measuring the real success of the line. Initial ridership projections of the Red Line estimated 3,000-4,000 riders per day growing to eventu- ally 8,000-10,000 daily. In August, Pares said “more than 60,000 MetroRail trips are taken each month,” but keep in mind that a single person can make multiple trips in a day. his averages to around 2050 trips per day, less than initial estimates and nowhere close to projected growth. he fact that the Red Line has stand- ing room only is a testament to the size of the vehicle rather than true demand. he “success” of the Red Line is dubious at best. Furthermore, central corridor advocates overemphasized the risk of losing possible Fed- eral Transit Administration funding, necessary for the current rail proposal, if they proposed a Lamar-Guadalupe route. hey argue that be- cause the city had just installed Bus Rapid Tran- sit (BRT) using FTA funds on the same route, a request for funding on this route would be rejected. In addition to the explicit grant lan- guage containing provisions for future develop- ment funding along the BRT route disproving this claim, Scott Morris from Our Rail group provided a memo obtained from Capital Metro where an FTA representativvute should the city introduce new priorities. With this new proposal, many look back nos- talgically on the 2000 light rail proposal, think- ing, “If only we had known!” his redesigned route of this current proposal is a reaction to the 2000 “rail fail,” attempting to the address issues that led a narrow margin of 2,000 more people to vote “no” at the turn of the century. But Austin has changed, and this proposal has not adequately adapted. More people than ever understand the need for comprehensive pub- lic transportation improvements. It’s a curious fact, and a daunting omen, that so many rail advocates have come out against this rail plan. hough we support transit initiatives that will make our city livable and afordable, we oppose this proposal. FIRING LINE Don’t mischaracterize COLA I irst want to say that I appreciate Riley Brands’ sincere interest in the welfare of COLA graduate students as relected in his October 1st article on the graduate student task force. How- ever, I think that his opinion on the task force was premature and presented facts in an order that led to frightening, but largely incorrect, conclusions. Because he Daily Texan is usu- ally a trustworthy source of campus informa- tion, this created a minor panic among gradu- ate students who were unaware of the task force or the issues that sparked its creation. I want to set some of those things straight, if only to re- duce the burden for myself and other task force members who are now forced to rectify the misperceptions surrounding our proceedings. he “inconsistent numbers” presented by COLA administrators when predicting future cuts should have tipped Brands of that he or his reporters needed to wait and follow up more before publishing. he decision to exclude “pry- ing eyes” — which just means reporters from he Daily Texan, because task force members’ eyes have been quite prying — was made ater the publication of Brands’ article and with in- put from graduate student members. Task force members are individually permitted to convey any information about the proceedings to any- one who asks, at our discretion. Many of us are formally or informally answering questions that our graduate student colleagues have. But be- cause we have only met twice, there really isn’t much to say. he fact that we have had barely enough time to orient ourselves within the task force should be another sign that the Brands’ ar- ticle was premature. he most dangerous sentence being repeated from the article is that “cuts could eliminate a large number of jobs.” Graduate students have inferred from this that they may lose their teach- ing assistant positions despite being guaranteed funding when admitted to the college. COLA administrators have said multiple times, includ- ing at the meeting on which Brands reported, that funding ofers and teaching assistantships that were presented in admissions letters will not be rescinded. Brands’ conclusion that cuts will lead to the “elimination of jobs” skews the context and implies that these cuts will lead to graduate students ighting for the few number of teaching assistant positions let. In reality, it seems that many of those reductions will be pro- duced through smaller cohort sizes produced by admitting fewer graduate students in the future. While one might be rightfully disappointed that there will be fewer students entering COLA’s graduate programs, it is hardly as dire as current graduate students being put out on the street. I would ask Brands and the editorial staf of he Daily Texan to take more care when rush- ing to publish their opinions about such delicate and important proceedings as the graduate stu- dent task force. I, for one, would prefer to work on preserving the rights and livelihoods of my colleagues without being mischaracterized in the press by outsiders — even well-intentioned ones. — Justin Doran, religious studies doctoral stu- dent, in response to Editor-in-Chief Riley Brands’ Oct. 1 piece, which ran under the web headline “COLA’s closure of task force meetings to chill proceedings.” Doran wrote this letter before his appointment last Wednesday as task force spokes- person to the press.

Jones said the An- thropos Arts booth at ACL Cares allows the students to come to a festival they otherwise would not have been able to afford to visit on their own.

We’re connecting that re- source with the unfortu- nate surplus of kids living in poverty.” Anthropos communca- tions director Viviana Ken- nealy said the program does more than just teach kids to play instruments; it’s teach- ing them to take commit- ments seriously and be self- motivated. For the past 10 years, 100 percent of seniors in the program have gradu- ated in schools that have av- erage graduation rates of 65 to 70 percent. “We pick kids based on their willingness and desire to do it, and, from there, we stay on them a lot about grades,” Jones There’s a lot to learn and there’s a lot to be inspired by.

But, after one semester, Mc- Queen said mentoring the kids has become the high- light of her week. “There’s a lot to learn, and there’s a lot to be in- spired by,” McQueen said. “A lot of these kids are not going to become profes- sional musicians, but they are going to see that you can follow your passion and thrive and also have time to give by watching their teachers do that.” Multimedia Mick Vann, horticulturist for the College of Natural Sciences, sat down with The Daily Texan to talk to us about greenhouses and his love for plants in our new video at www.dailytexanonline.com.

Much was at stake in this losing record, game: Texas’ Oklahoma’s ranking, head coach Charlie Strong’s repu- tation and most importantly, bragging rights among fans at the State Fair of Texas and throughout Dallas during the remainder of the weekend. he Red River Rivalry elic- its the best and worst of col- lege football. School pride and fan unity hit season highs and emotions swirl; rational- ity, logic and maturity hit near lows. Besides the brash shoul- der nudges between Longhorn and Sooner fans navigating the crowd, one Sooner fan, who looked about 60, ofered a typi- cal example of this search for bragging rights this weekend. “How does it feel to be 2-4? B-Y-U, B-Y-U!” he shouted at a visibly upset, burnt orange- clad 20-year-old. he UT stu- dent did nothing to provoke him — he hadn’t even talked to the man who issued the insult. And yet, even older fans take this game seriously enough to let their school pride trump guidelines of de- cency and social norms. he Oklahoma fan’s insult was slightly ironic, overlook- ing one fact, however, that helped me hold my head high as I wove through fried food, roller coasters and colorful lights. he most poignant im- age of BYU’s 41-7 destruction of Texas on Sept. 6, remains BYU junior quarterback Tay- som Hill leaping over sopho- more defensive back Dylan Haines to complete a 30-yard run for the irst of the Cou- gars’ four touchdowns in the third quarter. It was a remind- er that, despite high hopes for Strong’s irst season, Texas’ in- experienced ofensive line and backup sophomore quarter- back Tyrone Swoopes weren’t the dominant ofensive attack a team needs to succeed in the Big 12, much less the post- season. he Oklahoma game, on the other hand, restored at least some faith in Texas’ ofense and Swoopes’ ability. In addition to 334 passing yards, a record among Texas quar- terbacks facing OU, Swoopes ran for 50 yards, including a bold leap over Oklahoma sophomore linebacker Domi- nique Alexander followed by a 12-yard touchdown run. he leap — scarily similar to Hill’s, athough not quite as elegant — felt like a taste of redemption from that awful irst loss. Another welcome change from the BYU game was Texas fans’ mass support. From the solemn glances at the ground when Texas’ chances of win- ning slipped to screams at the top of lungs when the Long- horns needed to stop No. 11 Oklahoma late in the fourth, enhanced each response the environment. he spirit was palpable, and the student section was more electric than it’s been at any game since at least UT’s 48-45 loss at home to West Virginia on Oct. 6, 2012. Saturday’s game ofered the full range of adrenaline sports has the po- tential to provide. he special teams exempliied disappoint- ment, the defense merited pride, the ofense generated excitement and Texas’ 11 pen- alties ramped up irritation. he game surpassed and twisted expectations: the Longhorns si- multaneously performed better than fans and analysts expect- ed, while making errors none expected them to make. hey beat the spread by 10 points but blew a near comeback in the fourth quarter. And yet, the fourth quarter wasn’t just a source of depression. It was the student section’s fourth quarter spirit that reminded me why I go to the University of Texas at Austin. Entering the fourth quarter down 24-13 to the Sooners, the hopes of a rivalry upset began to fade. But, the Longhorns didn’t accept defeat, rallying to within ive with a well-rounded attack that stirred fans’ hopes. At weekend’s end, Texas still stands 2-3, and Okla- homa fans received a bet- ter boost of conidence than those of Texas. But this year’s Red River Rivalry ofered much, and, as with any rival- ry, it only raised the stakes for next year’s faceof. Texas fans ramp up school spirit at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday for the annual Red River Rivalry. Each year, the stadium splits down the middle between Texas and Oklahoma fans.

Texas will be paired with Tulane and Iowa State for the second round. —Jori Epstein OU continues from page 1 senior receiver Jaxon Shipley said. “Winning last year was an unbelievable feeling, but to have to give the Golden Hat away this year is not a good feeling at all.” Aside the big from plays, the Longhorns were plagued by penalties and another poor third-quarter performance. Texas committed 11 pen- alties for a total of 85 yards in the game, and a couple of those lags proved to be very costly. Senior receiver John Harris was called for a hold- ing penalty, which negated a 73-yard run by sopho- more quarterback Tyrone Swoopes, and sophomore safety Adrian Colbert took a costly kick catching inter- ference penalty, which gave Oklahoma a short ield and led to a Sooner ield goal. he patchwork ofensive line had discipline issues as well, committing ive false starts and one holding pen- alty, as the young, inexpe- rienced group struggled to handle the raucous Cotton Bowl environment. “It was just the noise,” head coach Charlie Strong said. “hey weren’t getting the checks at the line.” Once again, the Longhorns came out lat in the third quarter. he third frame has been Texas’ biggest weakness all season, and Saturday was no exception. Strong’s team wasn’t able to score in the third quarter for the fourth consecutive game and failed to get a irst down on three of ive possessions. he inability to move the ball on ofense robben the defense of time to rest, which caused them to wear down in the second half. Defensive coordinator Vance Bedford’s unit has now allowed 94 second-half points this sea- son, compared to just 33 in irst halves. “In the irst half, our ofense held the football, so we were able to keep them of the ield,” Strong said. “In the second half, we weren’t able to keep them of the ield because our drives were stopping. We had our opportunities; we just didn’t make it happen.” Despite pick-six, the Swoopes turned in the best performance of his young career against the Soon- ers, passing for 334 yards and two touchdowns while scrambling for 50 yards and another score. Senior run- ning back Malcolm Brown led the rushing attack with 78 yards and Harris had 90 receiving yards and caught both passing touchdowns. WEEKEND RECAP SOCCER | DANIEL CLAY Before Friday’s game against Kansas, head coach Angela Kelly said Texas (7-5-2) needed to be a 90-minute team if it wanted to knock of the No. 11 Jay- hawks (14-1-0) at home. Texas failed to score in the irst half for the fourth consecutive game, and the stiling Kansas defense made sure to keep the Longhorns of the board for the rest of the contest and hand Texas a 1-0 defeat. Despite the disappointing score, Texas still uncorked 17 shots. Senior midielder Sharis Lachapelle led the charge with ive shots of her own including two of Texas’ seven shots on goal, but she took no consolation in her strong game. “We were disappointed with how we played,” Lacha- pelle said. “We had a few op- portunities. We just couldn’t put one in the back of the net.” he Longhorns’ signature high-press defense held the Jayhawks to just four shots on goal, but Kansas only needed one big play to come away with the program’s irst victory in Austin. In the 63rd minute, Kan- sas junior forward Ashley Williams received a pass outside the top right cor- ner of the box, turned and ired a laser from distance that passed just over the outstretched arms of Texas junior keeper Abby Smith into the top let corner of the net. he Longhorns will look to rebound Friday at 7 p.m. with a road contest against Big 12 foe TCU (7-5-3). Sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third against No. 11 Oklahoma this weekend. Swoopes hit career highs with both his 50 rushing yards and 334 passing yards. His passing yards set a school record for Texas-OU games. Lauren Ussery | Daily Texan Staff Swoopes’ Red River Rivalry debut shows growth, maturity By Drew Lieberman @DrewLieberman On two occasions Satur- day, the Longhorns looked poised to roll over dur- ing their 31-26 loss to the Sooners. The first came early in the second quarter, when sophomore quarter- back Tyrone Swoopes’ pass was intercepted by Okla- homa’s Zack Sanchez for a 43-yard touchdown. “He made a good play,” Swoopes said. “And I guess he just jumped the ball and got the pick.“ At that point, Texas trailed 17-3 with all 17 points coming off of its own mistakes. On several occasions against Okla- homa under Mack Brown’s leadership, the Longhorns would seemingly concede defeat, but that didn’t hap- pen this time. The Longhorns an- swered with a seven-play, 75-yard drive capped off by a touchdown strike from Swoopes on third-and- long. Swoopes showed an ability to bounce back from adversity — something he didn’t show a week ago. “Ty [Swoopes] took a Early today,” said major step assis- Shawn Watson, tant coach for the offense and quarterbacks. the fourth quarter, the Sooners de- livered what seemed to be a knockout blow to go up 31-13, but Swoopes exhib- ited resilience once again. in “It was 31-13, and I just looked up to the score- board, and I was like, ‘Come on,’ and thought to myself, ‘We’ve just got to get something going,’” Swoopes said. Swoopes steadily drove the Longhorns down the field for the touchdown, capping it with his second touchdown toss to senior wide receiver John Harris. After the defense forced a punt, Swoopes was back to work. This time he took it in himself from 12 yards out to cut the deficit to just five points at 31-26. “Coach Strong and the coaching staff have always told that it’s not over until the clock hits triple zeros, so we just kept playing,” Swoopes said. “We knew we had time, and we knew the defense would give us the opportunity to get back on the field, so we just kept playing. We played well, and we were scoring.” Although the Longhorns eventually fell to the Soon- ers, Swoopes made his presence felt. He complet- ed 27-of-44 attempts for a career-high 334 yards — the most yards ever thrown by a Texas quarterback against Oklahoma. “The kid grew up a lot,” Harris said of Swoopes. “He had [334] yards passing in the Cotton Bowl for the Red River Rivalry. I think that’s pretty big-time for a kid just starting his first career out in the Cotton Bowl. I think he’ll grow from this game, and he’ll just get more and more confident as the sea- son goes on.” Swoopes also finished the game with a career- high 50 yards on the ground but nearly gained even more. In the first quarter, he had most of his 73-yard run negated by a holding penalty by Harris. With the additional yards, he would’ve been the first Texas quarterback to throw for 300 yards and run for another 100 since Colt Mc- Coy in 2009.

Lauford, a sales associate at Austin clothing boutique Langford Market, cannot seem to stress enough the importance of being oneself. “People pile on way too many trends at once,” Lau- ford said. “Part of going to a festival is looking cute but being comfortable. You’re at a dirty music festival. You need to be comfortable.” While festivalgoers strive to remain current, Sarah senior assistant Overton, manager of Langford Mar- ket, believes a distinct festi- val style is largely ingrained in American culture. in and say, ‘I need a hippie look. I don’t have any hippie clothes,’” Overton said. “But I think that comes down to Woodstock. Woodstock was one of the biggest festivals ever, and, so, I think peo- ple take a lot of inspiration from that.” Overton said, as the Aus- tin City Limits Music Festival approaches, customers will come into the store looking for a head-to-toe wardrobe that relects the trends puls- ing through American fash- ion. his year more than any other, she noticed a desire for a grungy, deconstructed aes- thetic relective of style in the early ’90s. “I have the 20-year the- ory,” Overton said. “I think anything comes back every 20 years. he ’90s are super big right now. I think it has had long enough to go away where it’s like, ‘Oh, I think I actually miss that now.’” “I hear a lot of people come his year, the ACL lineup I have the 20-year theory. I think any- thing comes back every 20 years. The ’90s are super big right now. I think it has had long enough to go away where it’s like, ‘Oh, I think I actually miss that now.’ —Sarah Overton, Langford Market assistant manager featured a slew of electronic artists, such as Calvin Har- ris and Skrillex, drawing in younger crowds who are particularly susceptible to trends. Perhaps the most appar- ent trend this year — and most marketable to a fes- tival crowd — is the Flash Tattoo craze. Flash Tattoos are temporary, metallic tat- toos described on the com- pany website as “jewelry- inspired.” Overton said the company’s booth at ACL was a smart way to target its key demographic. She also ac- knowledged the power musi- cians have as trend setters. “Beyoncé loves lash tats, apparently,” Overton said. “Everyone follows Beyoncé, I mean, it’s Queen B.” Overton agreed, referenc- ing the popular hair-feather trend that caught on a couple of years ago. Regardless of the trends present at the time of a festival, the two agree that the biggest emphasis should be placed on personal style. FASHION page 5 Harry Potter group keeps Austin wizard CAMPUS By Amanda Booth @wordswithamanda Students passing through the West Mall last week may have noticed a small, incon- spicuous table holding a large pitcher of golden liquid and a can of whipped cream. For those who stopped by, it meant a sweet drink on the way to class, but, for the UT chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance, the “butterbeer” sale was its way of mak- ing a positive impact on a global scale. Isha Mittal, public health sophomore and Harry Pot- ter Alliance president, said the Harry Potter Alliance is a social justice group with chapters across the world. “Harry Potter Alliance tries to ight for social equality for all rights,” Mittal said. “[We] try to relate values of Harry Potter to the real world.” he organization was founded in 2005, and UT’s chapter started in 2010, but it disbanded when the for- mer president graduated. During Mittal’s irst semes- ter in fall 2013, she reestab- lished the chapter. “I received all the infor- mation from the former president, got a few friends together and just went for it,” Mittal said. he Harry Potter Alliance’s irst semester back on campus was devoted to the logistics of starting a club. It wasn’t until the spring semester that the alliance decided to sell butter- beer, a popular drink featured in the ‘Harry Potter’ series, as a fundraiser. Public health sophomore Isha Mittal and computer science sophomore Sami Glasco pre- pare “Harry Potter”’s famous “butterbeer” Friday afternoon. Claire Schaper | Daily Texan Staff he national Harry Potter Alliance organization, which hosts charity events such as the annual book drive “Accio Books,” inspired the chapter at UT. Although the UT chapter did not par- ticipate in the book drive, it decided to give the idea a lo- cal twist. he UT Harry Pot- ter Alliance bought a book for every child at Brooke Elementary School in East Austin with the money it earned from the spring but- terbeer sales. Club members said they were able to see irst- hand how a set of ideals, paired with initiative, can make a positive impact in the community. Chemical engineering sophomore Sindhu Nathan said, as treasurer, she was responsible for determining the amount of books the club could purchase for the school. “he fact that we were able to send a book home to every kid was rewarding,” Nathan said. his semester, UT’s chap- ter plans to work more closely with the national organization. his semes- ter’s butterbeer sales will go toward the national chap- ter’s annual fall fundraiser, “Equality FTW.” “We try to keep in sync with what the national chap- ter is doing,” Mittal said. Mittal said the funds are not concentrated toward a certain cause but rather used to fund an array of campaigns that work toward economic, educational and LGBT equality. In addition, Equality FTW also helps fund the grants given to a select number of al- liance chapters. Mittal said the national organization under- stands the importance of local chapters making an impact. “hey are very relaxed about how we choose to use our funds,” Mittal said. UT’s chapter is not sure what its service project will be for next semester, but it does know the butterbeer sales will stay. Computer science soph- omore Sami Glasco, a new member of the Harry Pot- ter Alliance, said he was happy to work the butter- beer sale — his first event with the organization. “I like ‘Harry Potter,’ vol- unteering and butterbeer,” Glasco said. Jonathan Garza | Daily Texan Staff Ethan Oblak | Daily Texan Staff MUSIC Charity lets low-income students perform at ACL By Kate Dannenmaier @kjdannen On Oct. 3, Elizabeth Mc- Queen performed at Austin City Limits Music Festival with an unusual accompa- niment. A group of five high school girls made up the horn section of McQueen’s act, playing just as well as any professional. This is be- cause the girls were trained by professionals. The girls were part of Anthropos Arts, a char- ity that connects profes- sional musicians with kids in Travis County who can’t afford lessons. ACL pro- vided a space for the orga- nization as a part of ACL Cares, an area of the festi- val where select organiza- tions can set up booths and provide information about their missions. Dylan founded Jones Anthropos Arts in 1998 when he was coming into the Austin music scene. He founded the charity in response to his own expe- rience of taking lessons as a kid. Jones said his teach- er was a lifesaver when he was going through a troubling time. “When I was a kid, my parents were able to pay the 20 bucks, or whatever it was, for a lesson back then, but I did a little bit of research in schools and realized that in the vast majority of Title I schools, there are literally zero kids taking private lessons,” Jones said. Title I schools have a high MUSICIAN page 5 Marshall Tidrick | Daily Texan Staff Ashtan Boatright performs at the Austin Kiddie Limits area with other participants from Anthropos Arts.
