In celebration of Mar- tin Luther King, Jr. Day, thousands of people gath- ered Monday to com- memorate King’s legacy in the Annual MLK Com- munity March leading from the UT campus to the Texas Capitol. The 19th annual city- wide celebration, over- seen by the Austin Area Heritage Council, began with a program near the MLK statue on the UT campus, where President William Powers Jr. and other guests spoke of King’s legacy. “Words are forever dimin- ishing in comparison to the brilliance, and even more than the brilliance, but the power and the call to action of Dr. King,” Powers said. 1Tuesday, January 22, 2013@thedailytexanfacebook.com/dailytexanThe Daily TexanServing the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900dailytexanonline.com Michi Ramen offers ramen adventures.

Pablo Martinez | Associated PressPresident Barack Obama speaks at the ceremonial swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol during the 57th Presidential Inauguration in Washington, on Monday, Jan. 21, 2013. President Barack Obama continued to advise ideals of reinvention and change as a way to adapt to challenges in America’s future after he was sworn into his second presi- dential term at Monday’s in- auguration ceremony. His inaugural address urged Americans to work to- ward individual liberties as a collective, unified nation. “We must harness new ideas and technology to re- make our government, re- vamp our tax code, reform our schools and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, reach higher,” Obama said in his address. “But while the means will change, our purpose en- dures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American.” Because of a stipula- tion in the Constitution, the president is required to take office Jan. 20 of his new term. This private ceremony occurred Sunday in the Blue Room of the White House, according to the White House website.

Graduate students David Barer and Efrin Salinas joined senior lecturer Katherine Dawson to participate in a PBS Newshour multimedia short course to cover the inaugura- tion. Imani Cheers, director of PBS Newshour, chose Dawson to teach a course about the in- auguration coverage to 14 stu- dents from different universi- ties in November. Dawson said teaching a short course is different from teaching By Tasia EaslonA day to rememberElliott to receive pay raise after winning championshipJerritt Elliott’s Texas volley- ball team achieved what he, and his players, had long cov- eted: a national championship. And with that accomplishment comes a burnt orange check. According to documents ob- tained by The Daily Texan, El- liott will take home an addition- al $77,000 in athletic incentives on top of his yearly salary of $178,000 plus the use of a car. He will also receive $10,000 in academic incentives, bringing his yearly total to $265,000. The 44-year-old Elliott re- ceived $10,000 for making the final and $25,000 for winning. He also received $5,000 for each win in the tournament, as well as $5,000 for qualifying. Other athletic incentives in- clude $15,000 for winning the Big 12 Conference Champion- ship, $2,000 for winning Big 12 Coach of the Year and $5,000 for winning the American Vol- leyball Coaches Association’s National Coach of the Year. Chris Plonsky, women’s head athletics director, said Elliott has defined the volley- ball culture at Texas. “He was the one who thought of having students along the court during the games,” Plonsky said. “He personally called every season ticket hold- er and said, ‘Could we please fill it with students?’ and all those people very gladly went along with it.” Comparatively, head football coach Mack Brown receives $5.3 million per year, making him among the highest-paid college football coaches in the country, Jerritt Elliott Head volleyball coachBy Rachel ThompsonVOLLEYBALLGuillermo MartinezDaily Texan StaffZane Jones, 11, carries a flag during Martin Luther King Jr. Annual Community March on Monday morning. 19th annual march celebrates MLKHundreds help clean up to honor MLK’s legacyHundreds of volunteers gathered at J.J. Seabrook Park on Saturday to commemo- rate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in this year’s cleanup of East MLK Boulevard. More than 300 people helped rid MLK Boulevard of litter from Airport Bou- levard to Springhill Road in the 14th Annual Martin Lu- ther King, Jr. Blvd. Clean Up, sponsored by United Way for Greater Austin. The num- ber of volunteers exceeded the 250 recruits expected to be brought in by Hands On Central Texas, the volunteer program of United Way. Among the volunteers was Mariela Rubio, govern- ment and social work senior. Rubio said she believes the beautification project is a great way to honor Dr. King by giving back to the com- munity and city. “Not only do we spread a positive message on his be- half, but we are also able to influence our community to join in making a differ- ence,” Rubio said. “It is al- ways nice to see people do- nate their time and effort to serve their community.” Community involvement was one of the vital goals pre- sented by the United Way for Greater Austin for this year’s service project. “Our vision is for Great- er Austin to be a resilient, innovative, philanthrop- ic, creative and thriving By Jeremy ThomasBy Jeremy Thomas — President Barack ObamaTERM continues on page 2PBS continues on page 2MLK continues on page 5INSIDENEWSStudents no longer have to make a trip to S.

A national champion- ship victory in 2009 would have earned Brown an ad- ditional $450,000. Despite a large difference in national championship com- pensation between university coaches, Plonsky said salary comparisons have never been a point of contention. “We don’t compare it and say Coach A got this and Coach B got this,” Plonsky said. “We say this is what we negotiated, and contracts are meant to be re- viewed. Every coach is respon- sible for their team, and they drive energy off each other.” The volleyball team’s cham- pionship run also means bo- nuses for the rest of the coach- ing staff. Associate head coach Salima Rockwell will receive an additional $35,500, while as- sistant coach Erik Sullivan will net $32,000. Rockwell has been with the team since 2009 and Sullivan since 2011. In his 12 years at Texas, El- liott has consistently nabbed top-notch recruits, to go with five Big 12 championships and two national championship ap- pearances, including this year’s national championship title over Oregon. He has a 270-75 career record at Texas. Along the way, Elliott coached Destinee Hooker, a member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic team. This year Haley Eckerman and Khat Bell gar- nered conference recognitions and other awards throughout the season and afterward. Plonsky said the team’s win is a positive one for women’s sports on campus. “We tell all 11 of our wom- en’s sports teams that women’s athletics are respected on this campus,” she said. “You’re considered as marvelous an athlete and a student as any, and I think it’s a tribute to how long we’ve had women’s athletics here and the respect women’s athletics gets here.” Obama’s oath of office. Vice President Joe Biden was also officially sworn in Sunday by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. Several UT students had the opportunity to wit- ness Monday’s inaugura- tion firsthand because of the University’s Archer Fellowship Program. The program allows students who are interested in areas of public service to intern at various institutions in Washington, D.C. Amanda Almeda, mar- keting and government junior and a current Ar- cher Fellow, said being at the ceremony with other fellows made the experi- ence more exciting. “It was great that we were all there together just as we’re starting our lives and internships in D.C.,” Almeda said. “It was cool to be in the presence of so much history.” Ha-Vi Nguyen, govern- ment and economics senior and an Archer Fellow, said Obama’s mention of moving forward with LGBTQ rights is a new but welcome addition to the history of presidential inauguration speeches. “I’ve never seen [a stance] like that in any inauguration ceremony,” Nguyen said. “It was a good response from the crowd — everyone just cheered. It was just a great moment.” Obama’s speech showed promise of moving for- ward with American ideals, Nguyen said. “This speech was more of a tone of trying to keep Amer- ica moving forward, whereas his speech from four years ago was about change and rebuilding,” Nguyen said. “Now we just have to keep pushing forward.” Monday’s inaugural cer- emony included perfor- mances by musicians James Taylor, Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce. Following the ceremony, Obama made nominations for members of his cabinet. He nomi- nated former Democratic presidential candidate and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry for secretary of state and former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel for secretary of defense. Because of dual ceremo- nies, Obama is the second president in United States history to be sworn into office four times, with the other being Franklin Del- ano Roosevelt, who served four terms. Obama’s first term required him to be sworn in twice because of a wording issue between him and Chief Justice Roberts during the first oath. Almeda said the feel- ing of witnessing the cer- emony surrounded by so many other Americans was gratifying. Obama’s address exuded more con- fidence in initiatives he has been pushing since his first term, she said. “It was a very intense experience, feeling like an American citizen and knowing that we’re all in it together,” Almeda said. “[Obama] came off more confidently about the points that he pushed for in his original campaign, now that he’s in his second term.” a semester-long course. “You need to assume the students were chosen because they are already competent writers, shooters and editors,” Dawson said. “I certainly treat the students like the adults they are, as if they’re reporters in a newsroom.” Cheers said Dawson is the kind of instructor who is able to have a strong hold on a situation and still understand students’ learning abilities. Dawson said the students were chosen because of their skill set, whether it be video or print. Throughout the inauguration weekend, stu- dents pitched story ideas to their team and then the teams chose what to cover. The team’s instructor had final ap- proval of the its story idea. Dawson said covering politics is different from ce- lebrity news since it involves everyday life and issues. She said it is important to under- stand the issue so it is easier to report on it. “I don’t know anyone who would not be intrigued by pol- itics,” Dawson said. “It’s always rewarding to find that one per- son who really cares about the issue you’re covering.” In order to report on a story, Dawson said all sides of the issue are needed so that it can be reported without prejudice. “The inauguration is very matter-of-fact, so there’s no need to give your opinion,” she said. “You have to remember the sto- ry isn’t about you and your beliefs. You present both sides and let the reader de- cide for themselves.” Along with the president being sworn in, the inau- guration featured a parade, singing performances and a poetry reading. According to estimates by inauguration officials, there were about 1 million in attendance. The number is lower than the record-breaking 1.8 million in Obama’s first inauguration, but remains one of the highest of all time. Dawson said one of the biggest difficulties is getting access and good answers be- cause politicians and their staff know how to spin an issue well. She also said to cover an event like this, journalists need to keep an eye on the event and an eye on the crowd — a skill that the students got to experi- ence and practice.

The Russian announce- ment came as anti-gov- ernment activists reported violence around the coun- try, including air raids on the town of Beit Sahm near Damascus International Air- port, just south of the capital. Russian officials said about 100 of the tens of thousands of Russian na- tionals in the country will be taken out overland to Lebanon and flown home from there, presumably because renewed fighting near the airport in Damas- cus has made it too dan- gerous for the foreigners to use that route out of the Syrian capital. Assad has dismissed calls that he step down. He has proposed a national reconciliation conference, elections and a new con- stitution, but the opposi- tion insists he play no role in a resolution to the con- flict. The U.N. says more than 60,000 people have died in the civil war since March 2011. Russia has been Assad’s main ally since the conflict began, using its veto power in the U.N. Security Coun- cil to shield Damascus from international sanctions. Russia recently started to distance itself from the Syr- ian ruler, signaling that it is resigned to him losing pow- er. Russian President Vladi- mir Putin said last month that he understands Syria needs change and that he was not protecting Assad. Russian officials say the evacuation of thousands of its citizens from Syria — many of them Russian women married to Syr- ians — could be by both air and sea. A squadron of Russian Navy ships currently is in the Mediterranean for a planned exercise near Syrian shores later this month. Military officials earlier said that the exer- cise will simulate marines landing and taking people on board from the shore. Earlier this month, Lakhdar Brahimi, who is the joint U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria, said that Russia seemed as deter- mined as the United States to end Syria’s civil war, but that he didn’t expect a po- litical solution to emerge anytime soon. The Arab League chief said Monday that Brahimi’s mission had not yielded even a “flicker of hope.” In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Nabil Elaraby proposed that the heads of state gathered there at an economic sum- mit call for an immediate meeting of the U.N. Secu- rity Council. He suggested the security council adopt a resolution calling for a cease-fire in Syria and es- tablish a monitoring force to ensure compliance. Syria’s defense minister said Monday that the army would keep chasing rebels all over the country “until it achieves victory and thwarts the conspiracy that Syria is being subjected to.” Gen. Fahd Jassem al- Freij’s comments came as ac- tivists reported air raids and shelling around the nation. Monday’s fighting in- cluded a helicopter raid in the northeastern town of Tabqa that killed eight peo- ple, according to the Brit- ain-based Syrian Observa- tory for Human Rights. The Observatory also reported a car bombing in the Damascus neighbor- hood of Dummar and said another car bomb explod- ed late Monday in central Syria, killing at least 30 pro-government gunmen in Salamiyeh. WASHINGTON — Be- yonce drew a loud cheer from the audience Mon- day even before her im- pressive rendition of the national anthem. The applause started when she took her place with Jay-Z at the Capitol to watch President Barack Obama take the oath for his second term in office. The two stopped to chat with the Rev. Al Sharpton. James Taylor kicked off the musical performanc- es, strumming his guitar and singing “America the Beautiful.” Kelly Clarkson followed with a differ- ent arrangement of “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.” Then Beyonce was intro- duced and the crowd again roared its approval. Beyonce had a definite fan in Supreme Court Jus- tice Clarence Thomas, who applauded eagerly after she finished singing the national anthem. She offered R&B- esque vocal riffs as she sang on and the crowd seemed to love it, cheering loudly as she finished. Clarkson, too, hit high notes. Beyonce may have been the star musical attraction, but she had plenty of com- pany from Hollywood at the Capitol on Monday. Katy Perry and John Mayer sat side by side. Singer-song- writer Ke$ha was there, too. People flocked to the colorful pop star, snap- ping photos. And Perry did the same, taking shots of “Girls” actress and daughter of news anchor Brian Wil- liams, Allison Williams. Actress Eva Longoria was seated on the platform outside the Capitol after making an appearance at a Kennedy Center per- formance Sunday night. Perry sang at the children’s concert the night before. Former Boston Celtics great Bill Russell was in the crowd, too, along with actor Marlon Wayans.

The lawyers were de- tained last week in a nation- wide police crackdown on people allegedly linked to the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front, which advocates a Marxist state and has claimed re- sponsibility for a number of assassinations and bomb- ings since the 1970s. Anadolu Agency said the lawyers charged Monday in- clude Selcuk Kozagacli, head of a lawyers’ association. New Mexico teen had homicidal thoughtsALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The New Mexico teenag- er accused of fatally shoot- ing his parents and three younger siblings told police he had been having homi- cidal and suicidal thoughts. According to a probable cause statement, 15-year- old Nehemiah Griego told a Bernalillo County sheriff’s detective Satur- day that he first shot his mother as she was sleeping and then shot a younger brother in the same room and then two younger sis- ters in another. It says he then told the detective he waited for his father to return home and then gunned him down. Ohio highway pileups snare scores of carsMIDDLETOWN, Ohio — Authorities say a southwest Ohio highway pileup involving as many as 85 vehicles has left one person dead. The Interstate 275 crash was one of four pileups that snared dozens of vehicles in the state on Monday. Parts of the state saw scat- tered snow showers Mon- day, with isolated pockets of heavier snowfall. One woman died in the pileup outside Cincinnati and at least 20 were injured. A State Highway Patrol dispatcher says as many as 50 vehicles could be involved in a pileup on I-275, between Middle- town and Monroe. Minor injuries are reported. Lanes of I-270 have been reopened following a multi- vehicle crash near Columbus. — Compiled fromAssociated Press ReportsNEWS BRIEFLYAndoni Lubaki | Associated PressA Free Syrian Army fighter runs for cover as another fires his weapon during heavy clashes with government forces in Aleppo, Syria, Sunday.

Beyonce wows with rendition of national anthemPablo Martinez Monsivais | Associated PressBeyonce sings the national anthem at the ceremonial swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol during the 57th Presidential Inauguration in Washington Monday. By Mesfin FekaduAssociated Press By now, you probably know that Lance Armstrong confessed to allegations of dop- ing during all seven of his Tour de France victories. He did so in the first part of a 2 1/2-hour-long interview with Oprah Win- frey this past Thursday and Friday evening at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Austin. Aside from Lance’s palatial Austin resi- dence, Austin bears many signs of his pres- ence: his bike shop, Mellow Johnny’s, the name of the Lance Armstrong Bikeway and the presence of the Livestrong Foundation headquarters, not to mention the significant increase in the number of cyclists in Austin during and after Armstrong’s victories in the Tour de France. Thanks to that roster, Armstrong became many cyclists’ hero and leader, particularly in Austin. But now that spectators worldwide realize that Armstrong’s seven Tour de France victories resulted partially from his reliance on a cocktail of performance enhancing drugs such as testosterone, cortisone, human growth hormone and EPO (erythropoietin, a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates the growth of oxygen carrying red blood cells), a backlash has begun with groups of people trying to remove the cancer survivor’s mark on the city of Austin. Lance Armstrong’s yellow jersey has been removed from Austin Mayor Lee Lef- fingwell’s office. The mayor publicly com- mented on his disappointment that “Lance misled [him] and so many others in Austin.” To top it all, many residents have started talking about renaming the Lance Arm- strong Bikeway, a cycling route that opened in 2009 as a response to the city’s expanding enthusiasm about the sport. This backlash raises an interesting question: How should we perceive our hometown hero, and how will the scandal impact cycling in this city? Whether you like it or not, cycling’s pop- ularity in Austin is directly related to Arm- strong’s influence on the city. Not only do I not condone Armstrong’s actions, but I also understand the deep disappointment with his drug use and believe that his aggressive attacks on those who reported his drug use deserve condemnation. Yet I still believe that Austin, as a city, should try to preserve what Armstrong gave to cycling — an over- all positive contribution to Austin’s culture — and keep that in mind when evaluating the Armstrong episode. In a previous column, I earned a reputa- tion of criticizing local cyclists for not fol- lowing traffic rules, but I believe that cycling, both recreational and competitive, should remain an important aspect of Austin. The benefits of cycling are numerous. According to the Discovery Channel, cycling is good for the heart, muscles, waistline, lifespan, coordination, mental health and immune system. Moreover, it is one of the few sports with relatively easy access. Decent used bikes are affordable. Helmet costs are low. Almost everyone in Austin can bike. So, as for removing from the city all influ- ences of Lance Armstrong, I disagree, and not just because of his influence on cycling. Granted, like many other athletes today, Lance took drugs. He abused his body, and I do not condone his behavior. Unlike most other athletes who faced similar situations, Armstrong not only confessed to cheating and taking drugs during the Tour de France, he also apologized for his actions. And, scandal notwithstanding, he has an impres- sive resume. After battling cancer, he cre- ated the Livestrong Foundation, which pro- vides support for those afflicted with cancer and fights for government propositions that back cancer research. Through Livestrong, he backed Proposition 29 (a California ini- tiative designed to raise funds for cancer research through a $1 tobacco tax increase) and Proposition 15 (a Texas initiative that created the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas and allocated a $3 billion fund for cancer research within the state). Just because Armstrong’s mistakes have drawn popular attention and media hype away from his successes, his positive influ- ences on Austin should not be overlooked. If they are, an important aspect of Austin’s cycling culture could be lost as well.

Through articles like these, readers will be exposed to a different side of news about Islam. Most media depict Islam as a mad man with a gun who oppresses women or a totalitarian Muslim leader who forced the religious law to become the law of the nation. Most importantly, the number one job and obligation of a journalist is to inform people with fairness. Thus, an article about a persecuted Muslim sect that organizes a blood drive to save life in response to terrorism fulfills the obligation of a journalist. As an Ahmadi Muslim, I’m proud that there are reporters who care about featuring the story of a minority group who is facing injustice. — Khalida JamilahEnglish freshman at UC BerkeleyI was mystified to read about the report by the National Association of Scholars [written about in the Texan], which claimed that there was a “dominance of race, class and gender” in introduc- tory American history classes at UT. One of [the authors’] suggestions, to “depoliticize history,” was quite naive, as the report itself had a clear political bias, intending to minimize discussions that included experiences of many different groups in America, and instead, to continue the Texas general education from first grade onwards of teaching the mainstream “intellectual, po- litical, religious, diplomatic, military, and economic historical themes.” In an extraordinary twist of logic, the report even claimed that by attempting to address minority voices in the history of the United States, we “shortchange students by denying them exposure to ... the American story, as a whole,” and we “become imprisoned within a narrow interpretation.” Clearly, this more ac- curately describes our previously pallid view of history, and not our more enriched, vibrant one that we are finally exposed to today in our first discussions of race, class, and gender. — Angela HsuComputer science sophomoreWhy is there an ad for University of Michigan on the [Daily Texan] website, and why is it displayed so many times?

He mentioned the man whom the federal holiday honors only once in his speech, referring, as he spoke from the Capitol to “all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.” But the sentiments of the civil rights leader were present as the president gave his speech and called for broadened equal rights.

What to Watch January 22 - 26At the beginning of every week, we provide a list of opinion- worthy events to expect during the coming week. On Wednesday, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will speak at the store BookPeople about her recently published memoir, My Beloved World. Her talk is free and open to the public, but tickets are required for the book signing that follows and are available only with the purchase of a copy of “My Beloved World” from Book People. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. On Wednesday, the Student Action for Refugees group will hold its first meeting. Students interested in learning about projects supporting Austin- based Iraqi, Bhutanese, Burmese, Cuban, Eritrean, Somali and other refugees should attend. The UT chapter of Student Action for Refugees works in con- junction with the Refugee Services of Texas to help refugees “acclimate to life in the United States.” Mezes Hall (MEZ) 1.206, 7-8 p.m. On Thursday, the UT Energy Institute is hosting a UT Energy Symposium offering “pizza and a casual conversation about how to improve energy edu- cation and research on campus.” The institute came under scrutiny recently when an outside review revealed that professors used flawed practices when publishing a study that concluded that fracking does not cause groundwater contamination. The director of the institute resigned and the lead researcher of the study retired. Free and open to the public. Mezes Hall (MEZ) 1.306 On Friday, UT mechanical engineering professor Rick Neptune will present a talk titled “Improving Human Performance through Design Optimization.” The talk is free and open to the public.

Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we all define liberty in ex- actly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness. Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of govern- ment for all time — but it does require us to act in our time ... We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act, we must act knowing that our work will be imperfect.” — President Barack Obama, Second Inaugural Address, January 2013“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.” — Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963 “[W]hen these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters they were in reality standing up for the best in the American dream and the most sacred values in our Judeo-Christian heritage.” — Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963“For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and daugh- ters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our jour- ney is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished and always safe from harm.” — President Barack Obama, Second Inaugural Address, January 2013 Students looking for a meal out of a moving van no longer have to trek across the city to experience Aus- tin’s food truck culture. Rancho Rio Eatery, the most recent addition to Austin’s food truck parks, opened near the corner of 26th and Rio Grande streets at the beginning of the month. Located in the center of West Campus, Rancho Rio provides many food truck operators with an entrance to the student traffic in the area. The vendors pay rent to the lot owner to park their trucks in that area. “We were able to jump into the UT scene, which we’d been trying to do for a while,” Jamie Loretta, a worker at Short Bus Subs, said. “When this lot opened up, they asked us to be here and it was a great spot to jump into.” Loretta said that since Short Bus Subs’ opening, it’s been “slammed” and business has been a lot busier than expected. Short Bus Subs has ad- ditional food trucks on the Airport and South Congress lots, but Loretta said that since opening this has been, by far, the busiest lot yet. “We didn’t really know what we were getting into,” she said. “We only had a vague idea of the traffic in this area.” The lot itself is open until 2 a.m., but many of the ven- dors stay open later. “We were here until 3:15 a.m. last night,” Loretta said. Biochemistry sophomore Haley Spotts said she has eaten at the Rancho Rio Eatery twice already with her friends. “We like it because it’s close and in the middle of everything,” Spotts said. Anthropology sopho- more Ryan Kober said she likes the different options the lot provides. “The food is really good and it’s better than the one on Congress because we can walk here. There are no parking issues,” Kober said. NEWS 5 TEXASSTUDENTMEDIATEXAS STUDENT MEDIABOARD OF OPERATING TRUSTEES TSM IS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS.

LEGACYFounder of UT International Office dies at 96Joe W. Neal, founder of UT’s International Office and a former professor in both the College of Communication and the College of Liberal Arts, died Jan. 14 at the age of 96. Neal earned a bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate de- gree in government from UT and was considered by many colleagues to be instrumental in bringing international ed- ucation to Texas. He worked with the governments of dozens of countries to es- tablish exchange programs for faculty and students with universities in Texas. When UT could no lon- ger support the number of international students seek- ing access to an American education, Neal created the Texas International Educa- tion Consortium in 1985. The consortium broadened the number of universities whose faculty and resources foreign countries could access. Pam Stephenson, former vice president of finance for the consortium, said Neal’s creativity and drive left an enormous impact on the scene of international education. “If nothing else, he taught me, if there’s a way to get it done, do it,” Stephenson, who worked with Neal for 47 years, said. “He truly helped us to be who we are today.” Stephenson said the les- son she learned from Neal’s life was to work toward a vi- sion for the future. “He never stopped work- ing,” Stephenson said. “We might be in Malaysia one day and Thailand two days later and China the next.” Stephenson said Neal be- lieved international educa- tion should be focused on making students be useful for their country. “It was about making sure that they got an education and then did something in their country,” she said. Among the students was Abdullah al-Tariki, who at- tended UT before return- ing to his home country of Saudi Arabia to become the co-founder of OPEC and the first Saudi oil minister. “He had a great sense for programs,” Bill Franklin, a for- mer president of the consor- tium, said. “He had a sense of what we were capable of doing through the [consortium].” Neal was instrumental in creating other international programs as well, including the National Association of Foreign Student Affairs, the Association of Internation- al Education Administra- tors and the Texas Partners of the Americas. John Schmidt, academic coordinator for the consor- tium, said Neal enjoyed the people and activity associated with international education. Neal owned a ranch named Horse Thief Hollow, which was a short distance from Austin, and used it to welcome Fulbright scholars, exchange students and friends with Tex- as barbecue and culture. “He delighted in welcoming people, whether they were local Austinites or international visitors,” Schmidt said. “He’d get a Christmas card from some- body and they’d get a two- or three-page typed letter.” Margie Kidd, executive director of Global Austin, a nonprofit that grew from a UT international hospital- ity committee created by Neal, said Neal was a men- tor to many of those who knew him. “He had a real instinct for people,” Kidd said. “He liked to take young people that he thought had a future and were bright and put them in positions of responsibility.” Joe W. Neal 1916 - 2013By Miles HutsonBy Samantha Badgen83RD LEGISLATUREFor 140 days every other year, many juggle the de- mands of being a student in class and an intern at the State Capitol. For the students intern- ing at the 83rd Texas Leg- islature, the Texas Politics Project and Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life held a seminar Saturday to train students and prepare them for their work. James Henson, instruc- tor for the Department of Government’s intern- ship course, said he put the seminar together in hopes of giving the interns a “practical and ethical leg up” in the Capitol. “There is a lot of infor- mation to process and it is moving very quickly,” Henson said. “From our experience I see you being dropped in at the begin- ning of the session and you go in and you don’t know a lot of things.” Henson said most interns who go into the Capitol are young. The seminar was set up to help the interns un- derstand the process of the legislature by giving them a set of contexts on what it is like to be an intern, and Henson picked out a few different speakers to pres- ent at the seminar. One of the speakers, Ste- ven Polunsky, director of the Texas Senate Commit- tee on Business and Com- merce, spoke about profes- sional behavior expected from interns and staffers at the Capitol. Most of his presentation was about how technology is used to make government more transparent and in- teractive. Polunsky said he believes the students who are interning at the Capitol are people who want to learn and work. “You want an intern who is going to work harder than they have before,” Polunsky said. This is the first time the University has had this seminar opportunity avail- able for students. Henson said he thought about hold- ing the seminar for a couple of years, but this was the first year he had the time necessary to do so. Henson said he hopes to expand the seminar for the next legislative year. Nicole Kruijs, public health and Plan II junior and intern for state Sen. Jose Ro- driguez, D-El Paso, said she felt she walked out with new information that she can ap- ply to her internship. “I enjoyed hearing about the interns who moved up and became full-time staff,” Kruij said. She also said that she en- joyed all the speakers who came in to talk, especially those who dealt with han- dling the press and lobbyists. “I’m usually the one they interact with and do not see things from their point of view,” Kruijs said. “It was very interesting to hear them talk.” The seminar was open to any student intern in the Capitol. More than 100 people registered for the seminar and not all were UT students. “I want students to walk out of here with a richer understanding as to what happens inside the Capitol,” Henson said.

The MLK Day of Service co- incided with President Barack Obama’s second inauguration. Michelle Sanders, who at- tended the event, said the inauguration demonstrates that King’s dream is still alive. “Now people can sit at the dinner table and tell their children and grandchildren that they can do anything,” Sanders said. The Capital Area Food Bank asked marchers to do- nate canned goods or non- perishable food items. Nancy Carrales, a volunteer for the food bank, said helping those less for- tunate represents one of the many beliefs of Dr. King. Business junior George Chidiac marched from the East Mall to the Capitol and said the event underscores the fact that the majority of Americans believe in King’s dreams for our country. “The fact that King gave [the ‘I have a Dream’] speech and it was not just words that were said but actually be- came true speaks volumes,” Chidiac said. “Anyone can say anything, hope and dream for it but the fact that it happens says a lot about America moving forward.” Chidiac said dehumaniza- tion and suppression are on the decline but inequality will continue to be an issue. “There will always be a struggle to looking at each other in a way that we can love our fellow man the way we love ourselves, but we can look at Dr. King’s message and con- tinue to press forward,” he said. Louis Sims, a participant in the march, said growing up, he felt segregation was just a way of life. “It was like an oxymoron; we accepted the segregation even though it was not pleasant,” Sims said. “But at least some of the dreams Dr. King envisioned [have] come to fruition.” community for all,” said Deb- bie Bresette, the president of United Way for Greater Austin. “What is happening here today supports that vi- sion. I think Dr. King would be proud of Austin and the direction we’re headed.” Fourteen years ago, state Rep. Dawnna Dukes, D-Austin, ini- tiated this event to promote Dr. King’s message of service. “This event encourages the conceptual beliefs of Dr. King,” Dukes said. “Dr. King was a catalyst for change in the community, and this service is one of the greatest honors we can provide.” Dukes said the annual cleanup and MLK holiday call for all citizens to work together strengthens the community. “I’m so grateful to see all of these empowered volun- teers here today, dedicating their time and energy to honor Dr. King’s vision – a ‘Beloved Community.’” Making a difference in the community is impor- tant to Austin resident Car- ley Leasure. Leasure and her mother joined the three- hour beautification effort. “This event provides the opportunity to participate in a great cause and give back to the community,” Leasure said.

MLKcontinues from page 1 texas at oklahomatexas vs. kansas (january 19) It’s easy to point out what’s wrong with Texas, but what’s not as simple is placing a fin- ger on why the Longhorns have continued to make the same mistakes that have now resulted in five straight losses to open conference play. The Longhorns’ 73-67 loss to Oklahoma on Monday at Lloyd Noble Center is the latest in a growing number of disappointing performances. The losing streak is the lon- gest during Rick Barnes’ ten- ure at Texas and the first time since the 1992-1993 season that the Longhorns have lost five games in a row. “If I were watching on TV I would have turned it off,” Barnes said afterward. To further compound their problems, the Longhorns will be without sophomore forward Jonathan Holmes for an extended period of time. Holmes, averaging 8.1 points 7.4 rebounds per game, sus- tained a broken right hand midway through the first half and did not return to the game. There’s no timetable on his return, although the team said he shouldn’t be ruled out for the season. For now, without Holmes and suspended point guard Myck Kabongo, this is what Texas sees when it looks in the mirror: it doesn’t play well under pressure, com- mits far too many turnovers and doesn’t get to the free throw line enough to stay in close games. These are all aspects that can be improved upon, but the Longhorns (8-10, 0-5 Big 12) have yet to do so through 18 games. Against Oklahoma these themes came back to haunt Texas and it was unable to overcome itself in another second-half collapse. Texas coughed up eight turnovers in its first nine possessions and let another first-half lead wither away as 6 SPTSChristian Corona, Sports Editor Sports6Tuesday, January 22, 2013SIDELINEMEN’S BASKETBALLCOUNTING THEIR LOSSESTexas drops crucial gameto Jayhawks in close boutTEXAS OKLAHOMAVS. Elisabeth Dillon | Daily Texan StaffSenior forward Romero Osby erases a shot from Sheldon McClellan during Oklahoma’s 73-67 win over Texas on Monday evening in Norman, Okla. Osby and McClellan both notched career-high scoring totals, but Osby’s Sooners were able to come away victorious. Once again, the Long- horns proved no lead of theirs is safe. Texas led No. 4 Kansas for all but 31 seconds of the game’s first 35 minutes and led by as many as 11 points in the second half. But the Long- horns managed to let another win slip away, falling to the Jayhawks, 64-59, on Saturday at the Frank Erwin Center. “We get relaxed a lot when we have the lead,” sophomore guard Sheldon McClellan ad- mitted. “We feel like we can do things that we’re not sup- posed to do and it not hurts, but it does.” The Longhorns never trailed in the first half. The Jayhawks briefly led af- ter freshman guard Ben McLemore hit a three-pointer early in the second half to give Kansas a 31-30 advantage. But Jonathan Holmes scored seven of his 10 points during a 12-0 Longhorns run that emphatically erased that lead. Kansas slowly chipped away at that lead and eventually pulled ahead, 54-53, following an alley-oop from senior guard Elijah Johnson to McLemore, who scored a team-high 16 points, with 4:29 remaining. McClellan’s floater with 2:46 remaining put Texas back on top, 57-56, but it would be the last lead the Longhorns held. By Christian CoronaBy Nick CremonaDEFEAT continues on page 7OU continues on page 7First Half: Fouls became an issue for Texas from the get-go as Jonathan Holmes sits most of the first half with two early fouls picked up in the game’s first minute. Kansas would go to the free throw line 14 times while Texas mustered just three attempts from the line. The Longhorns led by as many as seven points with two minutes remaining in the half, but a 5-0 run by the Jayhawks cut the lead to two at the break. Second Half: Holmes returned with a vengeance, scoring all 10 of his points in 13 min- utes in the second half before fouling out. Sheldon McClellan and Julien Lewis bolstered the Longhorns’ offense, but the Jayhawks continued to get to the free throw line, where they shot 84 percent for the game. Jeff Withey and Ben McLemore took over late for Kan- sas and secured a tough road win. Why Texas lost: Holding Kansas to 28 percent shooting from the field in the first half is not easy. The Longhorns continue to play elite defense, but when a team gets to the free throw line just eight times during a game, it’s tough to win, even at home. The Longhorns’ lack of a reliable post presence was once again on display as a guard, Lewis, led the team with seven rebounds. – Nick CremonaAnd then it was eight. The Longhorns dropped their eighth straight contest in Norman on Saturday, 69- 56, falling to 0-5 in the Big 12. Oklahoma was never pressed, outshooting Texas while nev- er giving up the lead. “I thought Oklahoma was Oklahoma today,” head coach Karen Aston said. “They con- tinued to grind away like they do. They’re a really good of- fensive team, especially at the guard position.” Texas played a solid first half, scoring ten points from Oklahoma turnovers while outperforming the Sooners on the fast break. Oklahoma took advantage of the post struggles for the Longhorns, scoring 12 second chance points on its way to a 33-27 halftime lead. “I thought we did a great job in the first half showing some resolve,” Aston said. “Their post players were better than ours today; they were better than us today. We had way too many turnovers in the paint and we were out- competed today.” The Sooners came out of the locker room with the same tenacity that they en- tered it, starting the half on a 12-5 run, stretching the lead and never letting up. Al- though the Texas guards did everything they could to close the gap, the usually sturdy post players for the team just weren’t in sync. “Guards learned a lesson in the Texas Tech game and they were better today, but we haven’t put forth a total team effort,” Aston said. “Right now, we’ve got the guards doing re- ally good but no presence in the paint, and then it flips.” Junior Chassidy Fussell was the only bright spot in the game, scoring 21 points to go along with her nine re- bounds after a poor showing against Texas Tech. Although the Longhorns continue to be plagued by inconsistency, their four blocks and 11 steals are evi- dence of the team’s defen- sive resolve. Their defense has been solid and their re- bounding has been even bet- ter despite the losses, which suggests there’s still life left in the team moving forward. “This is such a young bas- ketball team with people in positions that they haven’t been in before,” Aston said. “I think we’ve made progress.” The Longhorns will try again to snap their losing streak when they travel to Law- rence, Kan., on Wednesday to take on the Kansas Jayhawks.

Harrison picked the Longhorns over offers from Arizona State, South- ern California, North Carolina State and others. He will be eligible to play for two seasons within a three-season span. Although Harrison may not immediately crack the starting lineup, his greatest contributions will be add- ing depth and versatility to the Texas offensive line. Harrison’s best assets are his nimble footwork and superior athleticism, es- pecially given the former power forward’s 6-foot-8, 310-pound frame. Harrison’s commit- ment is the 14th of the 2013 class, and provides some momentum for Texas recruiting. Texas’ last verbal commitment was on Oct. 8, when Liv- ingston athlete Chevoski Collins picked the Long- horns. Since that time two former members of the class decommitted, and Texas lost out on several other recruits. Texas will likely add two to three more mem- bers to this unusually small recruiting class before National Signing Day on Feb. 6. Potential candidates for the last few spots include Irving of- fensive guard Rami Ham- mad and Waco lineman Andrew Billings. — Michael MarksSPORTS BRIEFLYLONGHORNS IN THE NBA LamarcusAldridge- 17 points- 12 rebounds0-5: Texas’ record in Big 12 play.

McClellan scored 18 in the defeat to Kansas two days before, but recorded only one rebound, much to the chagrin of head coach Rick Barnes. Once again, he didn’t start but he grabbed two rebounds against the Sooners while shooting 10-for- 20 from the floor. What’s Next: The Longhorns will host Texas Tech this Saturday, which could make for a good chance for them to pick up their first win in conference play.

The Long- horns improved to 3-0 on the season with a 2-0 record against top-25 opponents. Action started Saturday as the Long- horns defeated the Huskies’ No. 13 dou- bles duo Chris Camillone and David Ho- liner were paired with different partners for their matches by head coach Michael Center. That didn’t stop them from secur- ing victories with their new partners Nick Naumann and Daniel Whitehead, respec- tively. The Longhorns’ No. 1 singles player, No. 31 Soren Hess-Olesen, returned to the court from injury and played in his first match of the season. He fell and lost the only match of the day to Kyle McMorrow in three sets (2-6, 7-6, 6-4). Sudanwa Sitaram, Whitehead, Nau- mann, Andrew Korinek and Lloyd Glasspool secured dual match singles victories as well. Texas faced off against Tulsa on Sunday in a nail-biter of a match. Tulsa secured the doubles team point early on and es- tablished a 2-1 lead after splitting the first two singles matches. After that it was all Texas as Glasspool, Naumann and White- head secured victories and team points for the Longhorns. Whitehead was the last to play, and with the points tied at 3-3, he overcame No. 69 Alejandro Es- pejo in three sets (4-6, 6-4, 7-5) to secure the win. women’s tennis | Chris CaraveoIn pursuit of her fourth appearance in the NCAA Championships, senior Aeriel Ellis started the spring season undefeated in singles play at the Miami Invite in Coral Gables, Fla. Her weekend began with a match against No. 45 Cristina Stancu of Texas A&M. After dropping the first set 4-6, Ellis came back with two straight 6-4 sets to pull off the upset. Saturday’s matchup was no problem for Ellis, as she beat Vanderbilt’s Ashleigh Antal 6-1, 6-2. The two-time All-American capped off her weekend with a win over an- other ranked opponent, No. 51 Kelsey Laur- ente of Miami, in straight sets 6-3, 6-1. The rest of the Longhorns competed well throughout the weekend, posting five wins in each of the first two days, followed by six Sunday. All eight Longhorns won at least one match. Freshman Breaunna Addison began her singles career with three match wins, includ- ing one over No. 57 Lina Lileikite of Miami. Her first two matches went to two sets, but her match with Lileikite went to three as she overcame a 6-7 loss in the first set. Junior Elizabeth Begley and sophomore Noel Scott both knocked off ranked oppo- nents, but they finished their weekends in dif- ferent fashions. Begley claimed her only win of the weekend against No. 82 Sun Wen of Texas A&M but faltered in her last two matches. Scott collected two straight wins after a three-set loss to No. 3 Cristina Sanchez-Quintanar of A&M. Scott and Addison went 2-1 in doubles play, defeating A&M’s No. 7 Hristov/Stan- cu in the process. The Longhorns will host Wichita State next Saturday at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center. Sophomore Morgan Snow trampled bar- rier after barrier as she won the 60-meter hurdle race at Friday’s Leonard Hilton Me- morial Invitational in Houston. The No. 14 Longhorns hauled in in individual victories at the invitational, including sophomore Katilin Petril- lose’s pole vault record (13-09.25), junior Shanay Briscoe’s high jump (5-08.75), se- nior Chalonda Goodman’s 60-meter dash, Snow’s 60-meter hurdle and junior Christy Udoh’s 200-meter dash (24.07). “Everyone seems to be in harmony while remaining focused and positive,” Goodman said. “I am so proud of that. We know these goals require a lot of hard work and we still have to continue to step it up.” Texas also won its second consecutive 4x400-meter relay. Juniors Danielle Dowi, Briana Nelson and freshman Courtney Okolo competed again, welcoming sopho- more Chamique Francis this week in place of senior Kendra Chambers. “We knew that this meet would be great preparation before we go to Arkansas,” said interim head coach Rose Brimmer. “So we loaded up in multiple events for many of the girls to make sure to get a good workout from today. I’d say it was mission accomplished.” The Longhorns next compete Friday and Saturday at the Razorback Invitational host- ed by the University of Arkansas. swimming PREVIEW | Evan BerkowitzStars were stars this weekend during the Austin Grand Prix at the Lee and Joe Ja- mail Texas Swimming Center. But no star had as big a weekend as Missy Franklin, who claimed four first-place finishes. On Friday, Franklin got off on the right foot, winning the 100-meter free. But the night ultimately belonged to Nathan Adri- an, who not only won the men’s 100-me- ter free, but also broke the pool record — which had been held since 1988 by Matt Biondi — by a tenth of a second. On Saturday, Franklin owned the show, winning the 200-meter free and 200-me- ter backstroke. The 200-meter backstroke ended her night in a similar fashion to Adrian’s — with a pool record. Texas ex Ricky Berens also won an event, while Adrian won the splash-and-dash (nick- name for the 50-meter free). To round out the festivities Sunday, Ryan Lochte finally took gold. He swam away from his competition in his main event, the 200-meter medley. Franklin also capped off her grand prix, winning at least one event every day. Texas-ex Karlee Bispo won twice, both times edging out Franklin in some of the tightest races of the evening. Current Longhorn Michael McBroom took first in the 1500-meter free, just like he did at Winter Nationals in November. The next stop for the 2012-2013 Arena Grand Prix is Feb. 14-16 in Orlando, Fla. “We just came and said we’re better than this and we’ve got to come together,” said Kan- sas’ senior center Jeff Withey, who scored 14 points and had three blocks, said. “We know what to expect. We’re a mature team and we got punched. We took the blows and then we punched back.” McClellan, who scored a game-high 18 points, hit a jumper with one minute left, trimming Kansas’ lead to 62- 59 and Texas got a stop on de- fense, giving it a chance to tie the game on its next posses- sion. But Julien Lewis’ three- pointer from the corner didn’t fall and Kansas picked up its 15th straight victory, improv- ing to 16-1 on the year. “I felt comfortable shooting that shot,” Lewis said. “We’ve got to execute a lot better than we have ... We were very close out there and we keep losing close games. It hurts us a lot but we have to keep going. We have to keep fighting each and every game.” The Longhorns were with- out Holmes for the last two minutes of the game. He scored 10 points and recorded three steals, but played only 14 minutes. He sat for most of the first half after committing two fouls in the game’s first minute and fouled out with 1:58 left when he was called for a charge. “He’s got to stop putting himself on the bench,” head coach Rick Barnes said. “When he picked up his second foul, he rotated over but he didn’t have a chance. He should have somebody out of bounds. You have to understand where you are, in terms of fouls.” If Holmes was on the floor down the stretch, he may have prevented Texas from blowing yet another late lead. The Longhorns held an eight- point lead with less than three minutes to play in a loss to UCLA last month and were up 13 points on West Virginia in the second half Jan. 9 be- fore falling to the Mountain- eers in overtime. “We’ve been close all year. We’re just not closing the game out,” Holmes said. “We just get stagnant on offense a lot and get out-rebounded some. It feels like we’re giv- ing up too many offensive re- bounds on the defensive end.” halftime neared. The Soon- ers’ Romero Osby scored 14 points in the first half on his way to a career-high 29-point performance. “Got to give a lot of credit to their post players,” Barnes said. “We really be- lieve Osby is one of the best players in the league. He’s a guy that we think can score in a lot of different ways. You love the way he plays, he’s always within himself.” The Sooners (13-4, 4-1) connected on 48.1 per- cent of their shots as well as a few alley-oop dunks throughout the game, which worked the home crowd into a frenzy and made it tough for Texas to get into any sort of rhythm. Sheldon McClellan led the Longhorns in scoring with a career-high 25 points, but had to do so coming off the bench. The sophomore guard has done his part in becom- ing a more reliable scorer, but he has yet to become involved in the offense enough to war- rant a starting position.

Inside, the restau- rant buzzed with patrons who had made it past the floodlights without los- ing their vision. The space was clean, crowded and bright, but the red accents and plain black tabletops made it look like a poor man’s Sushi Zushi. Seat- ing was prompt, service was hurried and waiters buzzed around with iPads, energized and a little con- fused on their first night of work as a team. Glasses of water were forgotten and the green tea, when poured from the pitcher, revealed itself to be not tea but hot water. The waiter quickly apologized and plopped in a tea bag. Off the short menu of appetizers, the gyoza dumplings came tilted on their sides, swimming in a sea of soy sauce, their bot- toms beautifully browned and their edges delicate- ly folded. These greasy dumplings somehow man- aged to taste fresh and fatty at the same time, thanks to the veggies in the pork stuffing. The dish wasn’t revelatory, but it tasted very, very good. Next came the piece de resistance of the meal, the ramen, whose broth can be ordered in three different thicknesses: light, regular or stout. Part of the beauty of ramen is that the plating is consistently gorgeous, and the ramen here is no exception. The Veggie Ra- men, which is not available in differing broth thick- nesses and, since the broth is made with pork, doesn’t represent a true vegetarian option, came topped with a fragrant pile of chives, cab- bage and sprouts. But upon tasting the pork-infused broth, there was less flavor than the fragrance indi- cated. In the Meat Lover’s Ramen with stout broth and the Michi Ramen with regular broth, the flavor wasn’t absent but was too dependent on grease. A friend summed it up by proclaiming, “It tastes like meat sauce, but it could use three times as much green.” As the meal of a large table of dinners came to an end Friday night, the iPad-toting waiter began to talk strategy with the table about splitting the check. “We can do it, but we’ve just got to communicate,” the waiter said. You could say the same of Michi Ra- men: it’s got the basics of a good restaurant, but some- where between prepar- ing the broth and opening its doors, it has confused the recipe. Emily Ng | Daily Texan StaffChefs at Michi Ramen serve up a bowl of tonkotsu ramen during the soft opening of its new brick-and-mortar location Friday night. by accident, and after 10 years of creating structures that toured around to centers for kids with handicaps, Parkin- son founded Architects of Air. Each luminarium takes five to six months to cre- ate and will last about three years. In 250 days of exhibi- tion, the luminarium will see up to half a million visitors and several countries. “I think the structures pro- vide a kind of frame for the phenomenon of light,” Par- kinson said. “I do want the people going inside to ideally generate a sense of wonder; to experience the ‘wow fac- tor’ of the structures.” Parkinson, who is largely self-taught in terms of in- flatable building, designed luminaria exclusively on the drawing board until two years ago. The recent transfer to designing on the comput- er has allowed Architects of Air to take more risks in its designs, and structures like Exxopolis are the result. “Each structure we build is a full-scale experiment,” Par- kinson said. “There are a lot of elements that carry over from previous structures, and then there are entirely new el- ements I just want to try out.” For Exxopolis, one of the experiments is the use of two colored plastics in the area referred to as the cu- pola because of its similar- ity to the domes on Euro- pean cathedrals. The cupola, according to Parkinson, was inspired by the circular space of the Chapter House of Southwell Minster. According to Architects of Air, in order to “celebrate its long association with Not- tingham, it returned to its roots to involve local people.” That involvement resulted in the “Windows Project” workshops, which created the stained glass-inspired pieces that line the interior of the cupola and allow many colors of light to radiate through the circular room. “Just by having the stained glass reference that we see in the cupola brings in a more churchy feel to [Exxopolis],” Parkinson said. The Exxopolis, like many of the other luminaria, is also in- fluenced by Islamic architec- ture and Gothic cathedrals. “Architects of Air sparks the imagination in all of us,” said Jamie Grant, CEO and executive director of the Long Center. “Thousands of Austi- nites of all ages will gather as one to experience it.” The Exxopolis is the second luminarium Architects of Air has brought to Austin. Sixty- eight hundred people visited Mirazozo last year, and the Long Center says that they ex- pect this year’s attendance to exceed that. “Sometimes there is a good meeting between what the structures have to offer and the people who meet it,” Parkinson said. “Having a structure in Austin was just kind of a ‘wow’ for us in that sense. We had such a good response last time around, so it’s just great to be bringing a new structure back.” RAMEN continues from page 10The real standout of the album is “Copy Zero,” with a popping snare under a con- tinuous, reverberating two- chord melody polished off by minimal, whispering gui- tar leads. Pollard offers wis- dom regarding artistic am- bitions and creativity within the current music industry, claiming, “Everything is copied, copied.” Although the EP is not breaking any new ground for the band, it is a concise amalgamation of the dif- ferent styles it has dabbled in, which makes it great for curious listeners who don’t have time to sort through the band’s other 40 releases. For the old school fans, though, it will serve as a brief, con- solatory placeholder before the band’s full length, “Eng- lish Little League” drops April 30. MICHI RAMENWhere: 6519 N. Lamar Blvd. Cost: $8 - $11 per entreeTrue North is LA punk band Bad Religion’s 16th release since its inception in 1979. The album’s 16 songs continue the band’s melodious punk style that emphasizes vocal har- monies and furious guitar solos over fast drums. Many of the vocal parts resemble a choir, with two or three mem- bers offering backup vocals in a choir round like on “In Their Hearts is Right.” It’s hard to musically develop in punk music, but True North confirms Bad Religion’s mastery of playing twice as fast as other bands while delivering more meaningful messages. Toro Y Moi’s third album, Anything In Return, solidifies Chaz Bundick’s place in chill electronic music. The 26-year- old programmer and vocalist somehow makes soft music out of the most cacophonous and industrial sound clips avail- able, reaching a harmonic equilibrium somewhere between Flying Lotus and Nine Inch Nails. Unfortunately, the songs start blending into one large, unorganized mess with virtu- ally no change in tempo. Listeners will probably question if they’ve been listening to the same track on repeat or if Toro Y Moi just uses the same chord progression in every song.

Sun- light streams through the thin plastic ceilings and the ephemeral structure en- velops its visitors in a land of radiant color that spills across curved walls and floors onto faces and cloth- ing until the world inside is a disorienting place of light that comforts as much as it awes. The Exxopolis lumina- rium, an inflatable structure made of thin plastic that is created for visitors to walk inside of to experience light and color, is currently set up on the West Lawn of the Long Center for the Per- forming Arts. The Exxopolis was created as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Nottingham, United Kingdom-based company Architects of Air, which cre- ated the luminarium. Rising three stories high and occu- pying the equivalent of half a football field, the Exxopolis is built for exploration. “The starting point of designing any luminarium is the journey people will take,” said Alan Parkinson, the artistic director of Ar- chitects of Air. “I create with the hopes that there will be a path where people will lose themselves; where you can’t register the whole space just by stepping in the door.” Parkinson has been creat- ing inflatable structures for more than 30 years, but his work with Architects of Air began in 1992. After trying his hand at photography, Parkinson ended up work- ing with inflatable structures Michi Ramen, a new res- taurant specializing in the Japanese dish of the same name, held its “soft opening” Friday night, where it served up gobs of noodles sub- merged in gelatinous broth to tables of excited patrons. At first glance, Michi Ramen has all the ingredients for success in the Austin restau- rant market: a food-trailer pedigree (they served up the same menu from a trailer on Anderson Lane), a suitable amount of buzz (they made it to No. 4 on the blog Eater Austin’s list of “Most Antici- pated Bar, Brewery and Res- taurant Openings of Early-ish ‘13”) and a focus on ramen, the hottest dish in town. Ra- men has brought statewide accolades to the Austin res- taurant Ramen Tatsu-Ya. Chef Paul Qui’s venture East Side Kings, which recently expanded to the Hole in the Wall, prominently features ramen on its menu. But from the moment you walk into Michi Ramen’s new brick-and-mortar lo- cation on North Lamar, it is clear the folks there will need to make a few adjust- ments to the formula to achieve the ramen royalty- status of Ramen Tatsu-Ya and East Side King. The banner draped over the front of the building barely covers the name of the loca- tion’s previous tenants, and 10 L&A Leasing Center: First floor of The Castilian • 2323 San Antonio St. • Austin TX 78705512.478.9811 • Texan West: 2616 Salado • Vintage West: 904 W. 22½ Street texanandvintage.comTexanVintageNow an American Campus communityGreat location in West Campus – walk to classGreat views of downtown, campus & the hill countryGarage parking • Designer interior finishesLIVE BESTlive westAPPLY TODAYKelsey McKinney, Life & Arts Editor Life & Arts10Tuesday, January 22, 2013ARTFOODALBUM REVIEW | ‘DOWN BY THE RACETRACK’Photo courtesy of Daniel CostonDayton, Ohio indie band Guided By Voices has released around 40 studio recordings. Its latest EP, Down By The Racetrack, highlights the lo-fi sound that defined its earlier work. Maria Arrellaga | Daily Texan StaffSpectators relax and take photos inside the Architects of Air Exxopolis luminarium Monday afternoon at the Long Center. Since 1992, the touring exhibit has made its way through 37 countries and five continents. Indie band’s EP stylistically versatileDisregarding its seven- year break from 2004 to 2010, Guided By Voices is one of the most prolific and hardworking indie bands in recent history. The band put out three full-length al- bums in 2012, and Down By The Racetrack, a recently re- leased EP, brings the group to 40 releases in total. Sole original member, lead vocal- ist and songwriter Robert Pollard is a machine — he’s written over 1,500 songs, and surprisingly, almost half of them are good. The band is well known in indie rock circles and is credited with being one of the first ma- jor bands, like Pavement, to incorporate the garage/ lo-fi sound that is currently growing in popularity. Running nine minutes and 36 seconds, the EP’s six songs contrast heavily in styles. The first song, “It Travels Faster Through Thin Hair,” high- lights the band’s tendency to use strange strum patterns with seemingly out-of-tune guitar strings to create a dis- cordant tension while Pol- lard offers his chirping Neil Young-esque nasal hums. The muffling guitar prepares the listener for the lo-fi feel of the album, buzzing heav- ily like a blown-out ear bud, reminiscent of the band’s early ‘90s album Sunfish Holy Breakfast. The second song, “Pictures of the Man,” picks up the pace, offering a splashing an- alog drum kit and some sort of strange choir providing backup vocals. The chorus, in the tradition of Pollard’s songwriting, is a boring rep- etition of the song title that leaves much to be desired. Because of the sheer output of Pollard’s writing, on ev- ery Guided By Voices album there are at least three or four misses, and this album is no exception. Although the song is the longest on the EP, the musical and lyrical simplicity could cause quite a few skips to the better “Amanda Gray.” “Amanda Gray” sounds like it could easily fit into the Beatles’ song catalog. Over the semi-orchestral, gradu- ally descending violin riff, Pollard’s double-tracked har- monic vocals offer a soft, bal- ladic poem similar to 2000’s “Learning To Hunt,” from the “Crime and Punishment in Suburbia” sound track.
