City defers ruling 
on several Greeks’ 
rezoning request

By David Cabañero
Daily Texan Staff

The Austin City Planning 
Commission postponed a request 
Tuesday from several Greek orga­
nizations to rezone their proper­
ties in an attempt to reduce their 
property tax appraisals.

Under 

the 2004 University 
Neighborhood Overlay, m any 
properties within the area were 
granted zoning benefits includ­
ing increased heights to facilitate 
development growth, said city 
planner Jorge Rousselin.

But some property owners 
want out of the sweeping zone 
changes.

Tim Aynesworth, coordinator 
for a student housing preserva­
tion group, said nonprofit student 
housing organizations do not 
benefit from the overlay's zon­
ing guidelines. In response to the 
zoning changes, Aynesworth said 
they want their properties to be 
excluded from the overlay and 
returned to the classification as a 
multi-family base zoning district.

"We need to find a way to return 
to our original zoning district," he

said. "By doing so, we will actually 
reduce the development potential 
of the property and hope it will 
lower its valuation."

Lowering the value of the prop­
erty in turn lowers the amount of 
taxes the owner has to pay on it.

Art Cory, chief appraiser for the 
Travis County Central Appraisal 
District, said property taxes are 
determined by the potential value 
of the property and what can be 
done with the property. He said 
the overlay's zoning guidelines 
have given developers more 
opportunities for the property 
land use.

"If the rezoning changes on the 
properties are approved by City 
Council, then we have to consider 
it as a factor in determining prop­
erty valuations," Cory said.

The Sigma Chi 

fraternity 
house, which resides within the 
overlay's 
zoning guidelines, 
rose in value from $775,000 to 
$2,416392 between 2004 and 2006, 
Aynesworth said.

In 2006, the valuation of land

Retired Army general proposes Iraq strategy

By Jeffery D. Hooten
Daily Texan Staff 
America's problems in Iraq can­
not be solved with military force 
alone, former Army General Wesley 
Clark told a crowd at the Texas 
Union Ballroom Tuesday night.

Clark called for a new strategy 
in the region during his speech, 
and likened the American military 
presence in Iraq to space aliens 
with strange suits and a foreign 
language invading his home state 
of Arkansas.

He said that such a presence can 
not single-handedly stabilize the 
region, and the only way the pres­
ent situation in the Middle East can 
be remedied is with the addition of 
an ideological campaign.

"You can't solve these problems 
in the region with military force 
alone," Clark said. "You defeat ter­
rorism from the outside in and the

bottom up by depriving terrorists 
of a recruiting base."

Clark said that an ideological 
campaign would necessarily include 
real diplomatic interaction in the 
region without excluding nations 
such as Iran. Clark also empha­
sized the need to turn the nation's 
attention back to Afghanistan.

Clark's visit to the U T campus 
included a signing of his recently 
published book, "A Tune to Lead: 
For Duty, Honor and Country."

Clark said in an interview that 
the recent book portrays what he 
believes America stands for, and 
how it is seen from abroad. He said 
he feels that America has strayed 
from the values that made it great 
in the eyes of the world.

"When we act for our own self- 
interest in a very obvious way, when

KU students seek to study abroad in Israel through UT

By Katy Justice
Daily Texan Staff 
Students from the University 
of Kansas interested in studying 
abroad in Israel are petitioning to 
be permitted to travel there through 
UT-Austin's program.

KU does not allow its students 
to study abroad in any country 
where fite U.S. State Department 
has issued a travel advisory.

The petition proposes that a KU 
student can study abroad through 
KU's program but travel through 
a different school, said Zac Pollack, 
a member of a Hillel Jewish orga­

nization at KU. Pollack said more 
than 150 KU students have signed 
the petition so far.

"The purpose is that we are 
still being respectful of the study 
abroad policy but still finding a 
way to do it," Pollack said. "The 
petition is used as a tool to inform 
people, and the second step will be 
to work with the administration to 
push pressure on the study abroad 
office."

The university in Israel where 
the KU students want to study is 
not in the part of the country with 
that warning, Pollack said. The

West Bank and Gaza Strip are the 
only parts of Israel that are on the 
advisory warning, according to the 
State Department Web site.

"KU doesn't want to be a lead­
er on the subject," Pollack said. 
"Eleven schools that KU models 
after have reinstated their oppor­
tunity."

Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, direc­
tor of KU's study abroad office, 
said as soon as Israel is off the 
travel advisory list, they will send 
students there.

"This is an important issue, but 
as long as a country is on the trav­

el advisory, KU will not support 
study abroad there," Gronbeck- 
Tedesco said.

KU students who want to study 
abroad with another school should 
un-enroll from KU due to diffi­
culties in balancing different class 
requirements and financial aid 
between two schools, Gronbeck- 
Tedesco said. She added that the 
process isn't easy.

Kansas' policy toward countries 
with travel advisories is standard, 
said John Sunnygard, director of the

FRAT: Pledges denied water CLARK: Bush administration’s foreign policy to blame in Iraq

Sorrels, the family's lawyer.

"We do not want Jack's death 
to be in vain," said Khongsavay 
Phoummarath, Jack's father. "The 
more information we can provide 
to the leaders of fraternities, the 
more opportunity we have to pre­
vent another death. Jack would 
have been a great leader and we 
hope he will be remembered as 
someone who made a difference 
— even in death."

Lambda Phi Epsilon hosted a 
"crossing-over" party for newly 
initiated members on Dec. 9, 2005, 
according to an affidavit. That night 
members participated in a ceremo­
ny where they were paddled and 
ordered to drink large quantities of 
liquor even if they did not drink or 
became ill. Members chanted "kill 
that shit" as new members passed 
several bottles of liquor down a 
line, each swallowing as much as 
they could.

The pledges had been told they 
would be looked after by frater­
nity members. However, when 
Phoummarath became ill, he was 
left alone in his bed, the affidavit 
states.
An 

determ ined 
Phoummarath had a blood alcohol 
level of .41, more than five times the 
legal limit for driving in Texas.

the fraternity and "dozens" of per­
sons who were present at the party 
where Phoummarath died, their 
lawyer said.

Lambda Phi Epsilon Hazing

During the 10-week pledge pro­
cess, prospective members were 
continuously forced to participate 
in four-to-five hour calisthenic 
sessions without water. Pledges 
frequently fainted in exhaustion, 
according to the affidavit.

Prospective members were also 
required to go on a scavenger hunt 
in which they were not allowed to 
spend money, effectively forcing 
the pledges to steal items, such as 
furniture, the affidavit states.

As the pledge process came to 
a close, the remaining students 
went through a weekend of hazing 
referred to as "Hell Weekend," the 
affidavit states.

Pledges were required to stay 
in a nearly barren room for the 
entire weekend. They were ordered 
repeatedly to do strenuous phys­
ical exercise, often for hours on 
end. Between the bouts of exer­
cise with little water, they would 
be subjected to hour-long spans 
where they were required to drink 
enormous amounts of water, which 
resulted in all pledges vomiting, 
the affidavit states. One pledge said 
they consumed up to 10 "7-Eleven 
Double Big Gulps" of water in one 
hour, according to the affidavit.

During the weekend, pledges 
were given three bathroom breaks 
to urinate and one to defecate. This 
resulted in pledges often using 
trash cans in the barren room as a 
toilet, the affidavit states.

Other activities included strip­
ping down to their underwear and 
"wallowing" on a tarp while cov­
ered in baby oil as well as eating 
raw eggs, hot sauce, peppers and 
onions, according to the affidavit.

we act out of insecurity and fear, 
when we bully and berate, then 
we're not true to the values that 
formed this country," Clark said.

He said he believes the leader­
ship of the Bush administration is 
largely to blame.

"I've been very disappoint­
ed with the conduct of the Bush 
administration's foreign policy, and

at home," Clark said "I think that 
they've misunderstood abroad that 
the real source of America's power 
is America's ideals, and at home 
they don't fully appreciate the enor­
mous talent and potential that every 
human being begins with."

Clark reiterated this point in 
his speech in the Union Ballroom, 
where he described the admin­
istrative shifts after Sept. 11 as a 
foreign policy coup.

He claimed that the decision to 
invade Iraq was made within days 
of Sept. 11, and was part of a larger 
plan for action in the Middle East 
envisioned as early as 1991.

Clark ended the presentation 
with a question and answer ses­
sion in which he reaffirmed his 
support of Senator Hillary Clinton 
for the Democratic nomination. 
Clark said he feels that Clinton is 
the candidate most able to make

"She's very, very capable," Clark 

said.

Clark's speech left some in atten­

dance with concerns.

"He speaks as if the general 
solutions to our problems are very 
clear," said undeclared freshman 
Christian Torres. "It makes me 
wonder if it's as clear to those in 
office as it is to him."

ZONING: Current zoning guidelines have hiked up property tax

From pagel A

outside of the overlay was $30 per 
square foot, while land within the 
overlay was $50.60, he said.

If property taxes continue to 
increase, Aynesworth said mem­
bers of the nonprofit Greek orga­
nizations will have to pay for it 
directly.

"We do not have any need for

that zoning, and do not want to 
relocate," Aynesworth said. "We 
aren't planning to build high rise 
apartments; why should we have 
to pay for it? We don't want to be 
destroyed."

Mike McHone is the vice presi­
dent of University Area Partners, an 
organization of "concerned citizens 
serving the West Campus area." He 
filed a request to postpone a vote

on the rezoning until the Austin 
Planning Commission meeting on 
Oct. 9 to further negotiate with the 
properties about their compliance 
with the overlay plans.

He said if the rezoning request 
is approved, the properties would 
be detached from the University 
Neighborhood Overlay zoning 
guidelines.

McHone said this would allow

the rezoned properties to ignore 
the overlays comprehensive plan, 
which 
for 
urbanizing West Campus to allow 
for diverse forms of housing in the 
neighborhood.

includes strategies 

"The overlay was never interid- 
ed to be a punitive action to drive 
people off," McHone said. "It was 
meant to bring students back to 
the campus."

ISRAEL: U.S. travel advisory stall programs at some universities

From pagel A

UT study abroad office. UT lets stu­
dents appeal the advisory and has 
had about three to six students travel 
to Israel each year. Students who 
want to travel to a country with 
a travel advisory are required to 
answer two questions: What are the 
health and safety risks? And, how' 
would studying in that country con­
tribute to achievement at UT?

Since UT does not transport 
non-UT students off-campus, KU 
students would need to become 
degree-seeking students at UT to 
travel abroad under its programs.

U Ts Jewish life organization is 
currently promoting a "Free Trip 
to Israel" project until Oct. 1 that 
is part of tíre Taglit-birthright pro­
gram. The trip is funded by phi­
lanthropists, Jewish communities 
and the government of Israel as a

birthright to every Jew, according 
to the Hillel Web site.

Elan Kahainik, a member of 
the Hooked on Israel organiza­
tion, spent nine months in Israel 
through the birthright program.

"Personally, I connected with 
Israel as my own country." 
Kahainik said. "At no point did I 
feel uncomfortable for my safety. " 
Kahainik also became fluent in 
Hebrew during his stay in Israel

and said he encourages anyone 
interested to go on the trip.

"There can be large potential 
risks anywhere in the Middle East," 
Sunnygard said. "Fortunately, all 
of our students have come back 
with wonderful experiences and 
been very safe."

Israel is one of 27 countries cur­
rently on the travel advisory list 
issued by the U.S. Department of 
State.

Bush promises sanctions against Myanmar regime

By Ben Feller
The Associated Press 

UNITED 

NATIONS — 
President Bush wants the U.N. 
to uphold its pledge to fight for 
freedom in lands of poverty and 
terror and plans to punctuate his 
challenge by promising new sanc­
tions against the military regime 
in Myanmar.

Bush was expected to mention 
Iran in his speech Tuesday to the 
General Assembly — but only 
briefly, citing it in a list of coun­
tries where people lack freedoms 
and live in fear. The White House

wants to avoid giving any more 
attention to Iranian President 
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose 
splash of speeches and interviews 
has dominated the days leading to 
the U.N. meeting.

Instead of Iran, the southeast 
Asian nation of Myanmar, also 
known as Burma, was drawing 
Bush's ire. He was expected to 
announce new visa restrictions 
and financial sanctions against the 
regime and those who provide it 
financial aid.

The policies come as Myanmar '5 
issued a

military government 

threat Monday to the barefoot 
Buddhist monks who led 100,000 
people marching through a major 
city. It was the strongest protest 
against the repressive regime in 
two decades.

Bush spent Monday trying to 
revive the Mideast peace process. 
He was reminded of the hurdles as 
Palestinian President Mahmoud 
Abbas insisted that a U.S. peace 
conference deal with "issues of 
substance" — a sign of old skepti­
cism that accompanies new hope.
At the U.N. Tuesday morn­
ing, Bush made customary cour­

tesy calls with Secretary-General 
Ban Ki-moon and the General 
Assembly President Srgjan Kerim 
of Macedonia.

And after his speech, he planned 
to meet with another friend under 
tense circumstances, Iraqi Prime 
Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The 
Iraqi leader is deeply frustrated 
over the killing of 11 Iraqi civil­
ians by Blackwater USA security 
guards.

But first, Bush planned to call 
on the U.N. to take up a "mis­
sion of liberation," posing a chal­
lenge to the international body

to uphold its original goal of 
ensuring freedom in many forms 
— from tyranny, disease, illiteracy 
and poverty.

He also was expected to lean 
heavily on the U.N.'s Declaration 
of Human Rights, approved more 
than 50 years ago.

His aim is to remind the body 
that the expansion of freedom 
is not a Western goal, nor even 
just a Bush doctrine, but rather 
one that underpins the U.N. 
itself. The president heads to the 
forum, though, with his clout 
weakened by the plodding war

in Iraq.

His speech, said White House 
spokesman Dana Perino, is about 
"upholding the promise of the 
U.N. founding." Bush aides say 
that by design, the address will 
stick to broad themes.

What it is not about, Perino said 

plainly, is Iran.

"The president wanted this 
speech to focus on many other 
issues that are facing the world 
— issues that people in Sudan and 
Zimbabwe and Burma and count­
less other countries are dealing 
with," she said.

U.S. CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE WITH DIPLOMATIC TIES

An Iranian woman walks past an anti-U.S. mural on the wall of the former U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Tuesday. 
Iran and the U.S. have not had diplomatic ties since militants took over the U.S. Embassy following 
the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is addressing the U.N. General 
Assembly Tuesday after defending Holocaust revisionists and raising questions about who carried out the 
Sept. 11 attacks in a tense showdown at Columbia University.

NATION BRIEFLY
Polygamist convicted of sex 
charges in arranged marriage
ST. GEORGE, Utah — The leader 
of a polygamous Mormon splinter 
group was convicted Tuesday of 
being an accomplice to rape for 
performing a wedding between 
a 19-year-old man and a 14-year- 
old girl.

Warren Jeffs, 51, could get life 

in prison after a trial that threw 
a spotlight on a renegade com­
munity along the Arizona-Utah 
line where as many as 10,000 of 
Jeffs'followers practice plural mar­
riage and revere him as a mighty 
prophet with dominion over their 
salvation.

Jeffs stood and, like his 15 follow­

ers in the courtroom, wore a stoic 
look as the verdict was read.

"Everyone should now know that 

no one is above the law, religion is 
not an excuse for abuse and every 
victim has a right to be heard," 
said Utah Attorney General Mark 
Shurtleff, who had endorsed the 
prosecution in Washington County.
Defense attorney Wally Bugden, 

who told jurors that Jeffs was a 
victim of religious persecution, 
declined to comment.

Spy chief claims Al-Qaida 
trains Europeans to attack US
WASHINGTON — Al-Qaida 
continues to recruit Europeans 
for explosives training in Pakistan 
because Europeans can more eas­
ily enter the United States without 
a visa, the nation's top intelligence 
officer said Tuesday.

Director of National Intelligence 
Mike McConnell said European al- 
Qaida recruits in the border region 
of Pakistan are being trained to use 
commercially available substances 
to make explosives, and they may 
be able to carry out an attack on U.S. 
territory.

McConnell also said he worried 
that Osama bin Laden's recent video 
and audio releases may be a signal 
to terrorist cells to carry out opera­
tions, he told the Senate Judiciary 
Committee.

"That's unusual. He had been 
absent from airwaves over the last 
year. Our concern is that's a signal," 
McConnell said. "It just causes us to 
be concerned and vigilant."

Europeans are being recruited 

specifically because they gener­
ally do not need visas to enter the 
United States, he said.

WORLD BRIEFLY
Iranian President:'the nuclear 

issue of Iran is now dosed'

UNITED NATIONS — Iranian 
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 
announced Tuesday that "the nuclear 
issue of Iran is now closed," and indi­
cated that Tehran will disregard U.N. 
Security Council resolutions imposed 
by "arrogant powers" and demanding 
suspension of its uranium enrichment.
Instead, he said, Iran has decided to 

pursue the monitoring of its nuclear 
program "through its appropriate 
legal path,"the International Atomic 
Energy Agency which is the U.N.'s 
nuclear watchdog.

Except for a note taker, the U.S. 
delegation was absent during the 
speech.

The Iranian leader spoke hours 
after French President Nicolas Sarkozy 
warned the assembly that allowing 
Iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons 
would be an "unacceptable risk to sta­
bility in the region and in the world."

Earlier, German Chancellor Angela 
Merkel threatened tougher sanctions 
against Iran if the country remains 
intractable on the dispute over its 
nuclear program.

McDonald's miscalculation
A fact correction is in order for 
Tony McDonald's Firing Line, "Not 
Powers' hour,” Sept. 21. I am not sure 
where Mr. McDonald's numbers are 
coming from, but the University 
received an increase of $36.4 million 
for the 2007-2008 biennium — a 
7.2-percent increase. However, of this 
$36.4 million, $23.2 million was dedi­
cated by the Legislature for specific 
purposes (capital improvements, the 
McDonald Observatory, the Marine 
Science Institute and the Garner 
Museum), leaving only an increase 
of $13.2 million of recurring general 
revenue to operate the University.
The University is starved for recurring 
operating monies. This is an increase 
of 2.7 percent for the biennium 
and about 1.8 percent annually, as 
President Powers correctly stated.
This 1 8-percent increase does not 
even cover the increase in costs due 
to inflation, which has been around 3 
percent for the last several years.

Burns protestors are brats

In reference to "WWII film incites 
uproar," Sept. 24: Protestors of Ken 
Burns'"The War" documentary 
are coming off as just a bunch of 
ungrateful brats (and I say that as 
a very grateful son of a World War 
II veteran). Not one person out of 
a hundred knows what it takes in 
terms of applied artistic judgement 
and pure hard work to produce a 
massive epic like "The War." After all 
that work, with a finished product in 
hand, Burns added 18 minutes to pla­
cate Hispanics who protested. Now, 
that addition is being discarded by 
the president of LULAC as "an insult." 
However, a Hispanic watchdog group, 
along with a veterans'organization 
and PBS itself, agreed that the addi­
tion was appropriate and adequate, 
making one wonder just where 
LULAC and Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez 
shine in. Well, you just can't satisfy 
some people, especially when they 
make a living out of being dissatis­
fied. LULAC and Dr. Rivas-Rodriguez 
would appear much more credible if 
they would stop complaining about 
other people's work and instead 
make their own documentary — with 
their own money.

Check your borders

In the article"LBJ School hosts 
panel on impact of Hispanic boom," 
Sept. 24, Eddie Aldrete, senior vice 
president of IBC Bank, is quoted 
responding to a question from for­
mer State Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos. 
Specifically, Sen. Barrientos asked 
Mr. Aldrete what he thought the role 
of the Mexican government should 
be on the issue of immigration. Mr. 
Aldrete responded first by stating 
that Mexico is "failing at its job," and 
then supported this argument by 
stating that "Mexico is unable to 
control its southern border with 
Nicaragua."

I really hope this was a mistake 
by The Daily Texan editors, because 
if indeed Mr. Aldrete thinks Mexico 
shares a border with Nicaragua, he's 
terribly wrong. I don't want to exag­
gerate what might have been simply 
a small confusion, but I believe the 
names "Nicaragua,""Guatemala" and 
"Belize" do not sound very similar 
when pronounced. We are not 
talking about unfamiliar names

such as "Kazakhstan,""Kirqizstan" or 
"Uzbekistan," which arguably sound 
very similar and thus can be easily 
confused — right? I suspect this 
small episode is yet another piece 
of evidence of what is, in fact, the 
biggest obstacle to solve the issue of 
immigration: ignorance. There's igno­
rance on the side of the American 
government for treating the issue of 
immigration as one of national secu­
rity, such as it does with issues of ter­
rorism or drug trafficking. There's also 
ignorance on the side of the Mexican 
government for not defending the 
human rights of citizens across bor­
ders, as the Mexican Constitution 
compels and as various legal inter­
national agreements (ratified by the 
U.S.) allow. Finally, ignorance exists on 
the side of Mr. Aldrete for not know­
ing that Mexico shares borders with 
Guatemala, Belize and the United 
States — in case he didn't know.

YCT not hosting Awareness 
Week this year

I was surprised to open the paper 

Monday to find out that the Young 
Conservatives of Texas at UT were 
going to be hosting Islamo-Fascism 
Awareness Week ("A conservative 
threat of lslamophobia,"Sept. 24).
As chairman of YCT, I assure you this 
was a total surprise to me. Between 
our full fall schedule of distinguished 
speakers, events and protests, I had 
decided many months ago that we 
simply didn't have the time or man­
power to pull off an event exposing 
the radical ideology of our Islamic ter­
rorist enemies.

In fact, I was contacted by a Daily 
Texan reporter a few weeks ago, and 
he asked me if YCT-UT was hosting 
the event. I informed him that we 
were not. I don't understand how this 
information was not relayed to the 
editor or Mr. Pace before his column 
was published.

However, I must make it clear 
that even though YCT-UT is not 
participating in Islamo-Fascism 
Awareness Week, we do support 
its message. This event is not about 
spreading hatred or racism. It is not 
about Christianity vs. Islam. It's about 
informing college students about the 
threat our nation faces from Islamic 
terrorists at home and abroad. The 
only people who should be offended 
by Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week 
are terrorists and those who support 
and defend their actions.

If any UT students would like to 
help YCT spread this message, I invite 
you to attend our next meeting on 
Oct. 2, when you can learn about the 
events that we are actually doing.

Top Ten law not outdated

I object to your editorial's charac­
terization of the top 10 percent law 
as "outdated and unnecessary" and 
"limit[ing] diversification," ("Balancing 
the state of the University," Sept. 20).
In fact, Top Ten has succeeded by 
expanding racial, socio-economic and 
geographic diversity at Texas flagship 
universities.

Top Ten has served as a convenient 

scapegoat for the real problem in 
Texas public higher education: lack of 
supply to serve demand. When the 
policy was enacted a decade ago, a 
growing student population had yet 
to enter post-secondary education. 
Texas struggles with providing its 
high school graduates — a group

that's grown 40 percent since 1996 — 
access to the best colleges in Texas. 
Meanwhile, the number of slots at 
Texas flagships has remained flat.
Texas, with only two schools ranked 
among U.S. News & World Report's 
Top 50 Public Universities, lags 
behind other states such as California, 
which has eight colleges on the list, 
and Virginia, which had three.

Thus, proportionally fewer spaces 

exist for more qualified applicants, 
resulting in many unhappy high 
school students forced to matricu­
late elsewhere. This shortage would 
exist with or without Top Ten. If the 
Legislature deserves blame, it's not 
for passing and upholding Top Ten; 
it's for failing to plan for and fund 
another desperately needed flagship.
Regardless, Top Ten has enriched 

Texas'flagship universities and stu­
dents by allowing those schools to 
truly fulfill their mission to serve the 
entire state of Texas, maintain accept­
able (though not ideal) minority rep­
resentation at UT, expand access to 
rural and urban students throughout 
the state and serve as an important 
signal that the best students, regard­
less of family income, belong at UT.
Finally, to the admissions depart­

ment, which complains about 
having to accept "70 percent" of its 
students under Top Ten (actually an 
overstatement), I ask, "Would you 
accept fewer Top Ten students with­
out the law?" Similarly ranked public 
universities, unencumbered by Top 
Ten, accept more students from the 
top 10 percent of their classes than 
UT (University of Florida accepts 85 
percent, and University of California 
at Irvine accepts 98 percent). Does 
admissions want a lower-quality stu­
dent body?

Austin resident

Right-wingers, cease fire

In response to "Give us firearm 
freedom," Sept. 25: UT administra­
tion opposes the top 10 percent rule 
because it wants to consider diverse 
factors in admission decisions. The 
Law School fought its own battle 
(Hopwood) to consider race as one 
factor. I say we give this authority if 
they'll use it to keep right-wingers off 
this campus. Let them build their own 
school for a well-armed student body, 
where quickness on the draw can be 
an important factor in admissions.

Mind the culture gap

R e v isitin g B ro w n v. B o a rd o f E d u c a tio n

By Kat Snyder
Daily Texan Columnist

Fifty years ago, more than 1,000 U.S. paratroopers 
protected nine black schoolchildren as they entered 
Central H igh School in Little Rock, Ark., which had 
been, until then, a symbol of resistance against the 
1954 Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of 
Education. W e'd like to think Brown v. Board of 
Education was sufficient to desegregate American 
schools for good, and that today's society is color­
blind. But that very obsession w ith colorblindness 
and the de facto segregation in schools indicate we 
are still living in a Plessy v. Ferguson “ separate but 
equal" mindset.

The lesson we should have 

learned from Little Rock is that local 

political action and governm ental aid 

have far greater im pact than 

judicial rulings.

Resegregation of schools started around the late 
1970s and early 1980s, arguably after M illiken v. 
Bradley in 1974, which was the first of the Supreme 
Court's rulings striking down plans to desegregate 
schools. The changing racial makeup of schools has 
aLso been affected by other factors, such as housing 
patterns and differences in ability to transfer to bet­
ter school districts. These factors have become more 
noticeable as the disparity between fam ily incomes 
in the U.S. increases over time. To counter the 
resegregation, some districts have taken it into their 
hands to bus children from one district to anoth­
er. By doing this, school populations become less 
homogenous than the neighborhoods surrounding 
the schools. O ver the summer, the Supreme Court 
overturned rulings on two voluntary desegregation

programs in Seattle and Louisville, stating that race 
could not be a deciding factor in student enrollment 
at public schools.

A 2007 report released by the C ivil Rights Project 
at the University of California at Los Angeles warns 
that segregation is worse than it was during the 
C ivil Rights era, w ith the South — once the leader in 
desegregation — resegregating school systems more 
rapidly than any other U.S. region. Institutions are 
becoming segregated not only by race but by class 
and even language, prim arily among Hispanics. 
Yet, standardized testing across the nation holds all 
students to the same standards, assuming that all 
schools are separate but equal.

In Texas, there is no longer a white majority in 
schools. The racial makeup of Texas public schools 
is 37 percent white, 15 percent black, 45 percent 
Hispanic and 3 percent Asian, according to the 2006 
census. However, Texas (along w ith California and 
N ew York) is considered to have one of the highest 
rates of segregation of Hispanics m public schools. 
H ow w ill the state handle the growing Hispanic 
population, considering Hispanics are more likely 
to be segregated along poverty and language lines 
in addition to race? H ow can a state that is clearly 
multicultural afford to segregate children at a young 
age and then expect them to successfully reintegrate 
in the workforce?

The fact that white majority schools' graduation 
rates are astonishingly higher than those of m ainly 
Hispanic schools points to the disturbing reality that 
these two groups are unlikely to enter the workforce 
together.

The lesson w e should have learned from Little 
Rock is that local political action and governmental 
aid have a far greater impact than judicial rulings 
in influencing societal change in attitude. The court 
may have overturned Brown v. Board of Education, 
but as a society we never believed in the decision 
enough to fully implement it.

Separate is inherently unequal, and now the sepa­
rations are multidimensional. If we, as a nation, do 
not truly believe in this doctrine, then neither w ill 
our politicians or our judges.

The Left-Wing Terror King

By Daniel Earnest
Daily Texan Columnist

As we all know, Osama bin Laden has 
attempted to pour salt on our six-year-old 
wounds w ith his most recent statement to 
America. H is words were both infuriating 
and audacious. But the interesting thing 
was that his words were manipulative 
and, at the same time, encouraging to 
Americans against the w ar in Iraq.

He ridicules the greatness of our coun­
try and savs that, even though we have 
economic power and influential policies 
that are felt globally, 19 men were able to 
change our country, and America "w as 
bled dry economically." But these are 
canned radical statements — we have 
heard them all before.

The next thing he did startled me. He 
began to speak as if he was conducting a 
political rally, trying to groom Americans 
to protest the w ar more ardently. He 
loves the fact that "the m ajority" of 
Americans want to abandon the war, and 
he encourages Americans not to "carry 
anti-war placards and then go back to 
your homes." He complimented all the 
anti-war demonstrations that have taken

place around the world by saying, "the 
entire world came out in unprecedented 
demonstrations to warn against waging 
the w ar and describe its true nature in 
eloquent terms like 'no to spilling of red 
blood for black o il.'"

He also tries to make democracy the

In an attempt to demoralize our 
cause, he also tries to construct a parallel 
between Iraq and Vietnam. He patheti­
cally attempts to paint a hopeless picture 
of our troops overseas by saying that they 
are all "crying and hiding in their barracks

We need to abandon the argument that we should not have 

begun the war in Iraq. Too many people say that we should be 

fighting in Afghanistan or elsewhere, but have you noticed that 

bin Laden doesn't care where the war is being fought?

villain in the whole situation. H e began 
trying to poke holes in the policies of the 
Bush administration, and he rebuked the 
Democrats for not makmg "a move worth 
mentioning" since they won the majority. 
"O n the contrary, [Democrats] continue 
to agree to the spending of tens of billions 
to continue the killing and w ar there, 
which has led to the vast majority of you 
being afflicted with disappointment," bin 
Laden said

because they are afraid of the mines."

Throughout his address, bin Laden 
plays upon the emotions of liberals in 
America. He hits on all of the issues that 
liberals feel passionately about — first 
and foremost, the Iraq war. But then he 
visits global warming, the horrible situa­
tion in Africa, slavery in the 1800s and the 
denouncement of capitalism. He tells us 
to, "liberate yourselves from the decep­
tion, shackles and attrition of the capital­

ist system." He labels Am ericans as the 
terrorists, saying we go around the globe 
using "the power of the corporations" to 
kill whoever we want.

Liberals, do you find that your state­
ments and beliefs are in line w ith the 
king of terror? If so, then perhaps you 
should revisit the situation and identify 
the true enemy. It is not our politicians 
— Republican nor Democrat. It is not 
capitalism or our w ay of life, liberty and 
the pursuit of happiness.

W e need to abandon the argument that 
we should not have begun the w ar in 
Iraq. Too many people say that we should 
be fighting in Afghanistan or elsewhere, 
but have you noticed that bin Laden 
doesn't care much where the w ar is being 
fought? The only point he makes is that 
we are fighting against Islam.

Bin Laden does give us a w ay out of 
this seemingly hopeless situation, how­
ever. He tries to tell us that our nation w ill 
survive if we convert to Islam. He prom­
ises "satisfaction and tranquility, protec­
tion of our needs and interests and a 
guarantee into paradise." It is interesting 
that he approaches this in such a positive

previous speeches, in which he promises 
death and suffering to anyone who does

After hearing this infuriating address, 
here is what I must convey to m y fel­
low Americanss: Like it or not, the Sept. 
11 attacks changed our w orld and we 
must be vigilant to defend our liberties. 
Like it or not, we all have a common 
enemy. Like it or not, our Republican and 
Democratic politicians have not ended 
the w ar in Iraq. And like it or not, we are 
all Americans, we are all hated and we 
are all faced with the same enemy who 
wants to destroy us.

That said, here is what I have to say to 
Osama bin Laden: H ow soon you have 
forgotten that this is a country of great­
ness. H ow soon you have forgotten that 
this country is full of patriots who live 
and die by our flag. How soon you have 
forgotten that neither our country nor 
our economy died after we were terror­
ized. H ow soon you have forgotten that 
we are not a nation that gives into terror­
ists, and how soon you have forgotten 
that we seek out snakes like you who 
hide in holes.

Commission aims to put 
youth first with reforms

Dimitria Pope, acting executive director of the Texas Youth Com m ission, briefs reporters on the progress 
of the com m ission's reform efforts after reports of alleged physical and sexual abuse between guards and

The Texas Youth Commission 
has made progress in its reform 
efforts by updating guard train­
ing requirements and 
low er­
ing guard-student ratios, said 
Dimitria Pope, the TYC's acting 
executive director.

During a Tuesday media brief­
ing, Pope said 98 percent of the 
previously reported abuse no 
longer exists within TYC. Pope 
directly deals with the remain­
ing 2 percent of instances of 
abuse, she said.

"M y first obligation is to the 
youth," Pope said. "I've coined 
the term 'Youth First.'"

The TYC has faced increased 
media scrutiny since reports 
of alleged physical and sexual 
abuse between guards and juve­
nile inmates were made pub­
lic last spring. The most recent

news regarding 
sion's treatment of juveniles is a 
dispute about the use of pepper

requirement was 84 hours.

Human activity to blame for changes 
in atmosphere, Austin mayor warns

Wynn discusses global 
warming effects, citys 
climate protection plan

By Joanna Arnold
Daily Texan Staff 
Human activities are alter­
ing the atmosphere, Mayor Will 
Wynn said during an environ­
mental talk at the Four Seasons 
Hotel on Tuesday.

Wynn described 

the atmo­
sphere as thin, protective and 
vulnerable, and said humans 
are adding carbon dioxide into 
the atmosphere. He reiterated 
his documented viewpoints on 
the environment at the event

sponsored by the Chamber of 
Commerce.

He said that carbon dioxide is 
a heat-trapping gas, and when 
heat is trapped in the atmosphere, 
global warming occurs.

"Folks," Wynn said, "I'm sorry, 
but it's not supposed to be 120 
degrees in Fargo, North Dakota 
— the way it was last summer."

The mayor warned guests 
about the effects of global warm­
ing, saying maps of the world 
would need to be redrawn, sea 
levels would rise between one 
foot and one meter, storm severi­
ty would heighten and hundreds 
of millions of poor people would 
relocate.

Physics professor Kenneth

Gentle said he is not as certain 
that global warming causes 
storms to be more severe.

"I understand the arguments 
there," he said. "And it's possible. 
But in my opinion, the evidence 
is not convincing. There have 
been studies showing an effect 
on storms, but others show other 
explanations of the results."

Wynn also discussed his Austin 
Climate Protection Plan, which 
aims to eliminate carbon dioxide 
emissions from city vehicles and 
facilities by 2020.

"T h e 

Austin 

Am erican 
Protection Plan will make Austin 
the national leader among cities 
in the fight against global warm­
ing," Wynn said.

New evidence 
prompts Hall’s 
motion for retrial

By Philip Jankowski
Daily Texan Staff

UT alumna Laura Ashley 
Hall is seeking a new trial 
for the charges of tam pering 
w ith physical evidence and 
hindering apprehension, for 
which she was convicted on 
Aug. 31.

Travis County jurors sen­
tenced Hall to five years in 
prison in connection to the 
2005 West C am pus m ur­
der and dism em berm ent of 
21-year-old 
legal secretary 
Jennifer Cave, and H all's sub­
sequent trip to M exico with 
convicted m urderer C olton 
Pitonyak.

Pitonyak is currently serv­

ing a 55-year sentence.

Filed on Friday, the motion 
for a new trial cites the discov­
ery of favorable evidence on 
H all's behalf, inconsistencies 
in UT alumna Nora Sullivan's 
testim ony in the Pitonyak and 
Hall trials and alleged mis­
conduct by the prosecution.

The new evidence points 
to testim ony from taxi driver 
Douglas Conley in which he 
stated he was unable to iden­
tify Hall in a lineup. Conley 
was called to the stand, but 
defense attorneys never ques­
tioned him about the line-up. 
Conley alleged in his state­
that p rosecu tors hid

defense.

from 

"I felt used and ashamed 
of my role in w hat I now 
believe was little more than a 
lynch mob seeking to unfairly 
convict Laura H all," Conley 
stated in an affidavit attached 
to the motion.

Sullivan's testim ony during

the Pitonyak trial in the spring 
made no mention of a conver­
sation she had with Hall dur­
ing a 2006 visit to Pitonyak 
while he was in jail. However, 
during H all's trial Sullivan 
testified that Hall told her 
she had to m otivate Pitonyak 
into action prior to severing 
C ave's head and hands.

Web site helps students find 

universities that best fit them

A new Web site that promises to 
"find the right college"for its users 
was unveiled Tuesday.

The College Navigator Web site 
was created by the National Center 
for Educational Statistics. The site is 
geared toward helping individuals 
find a college or university that best 
fits their needs.

"Find out what you need to do to 
prepare for your education beyond 
high school," is an example of one of 
the resources offered on the site.

The College Navigator allows indi­

viduals to search by school name, 
state, type of institution and level of 
award they wish to acquire. There are 
also options to build a list of schools 
for side-by-side comparison, find out 
school locations and save individual 
sessions containing all information 
found on previous sessions.

Other links on the site offer infor­

mation on financial aid as well as 
career services. The site offers an occu­
pational outlook handbook, where 
users can search potential careers and 
salaries, working conditions and edu­
cation needed for the jobs.

Student satisfaction survey released

By Jennilee Garza
Daily Texan Staff 
Students attending their first 
choice college are more likely 
to be satisfied with their edu­
cation experience than students 
attending less favored colleges, 
according to a report released 
Monday by the consulting firm 
Noel-Levitz.

The 

Student 
N ational 
Satisfaction and Priorities Report 
asked students if they would 
enroll in the same university if 
given a second chance at their 
educations.

"National data is important 
to be aware of. Campuses need 
to know the perceptions and 
experiences of their students," 
said Julie Bryant, senior director 
of retention solutions at Noel- 
Levitz. She analyzed and report­
ed on all the data gathered from 
the surveys.

Noel-Levitz is a consulting 
firm that helps campuses and 
systems try to reach their enroll­
ment goals. The firm works with

public and private institutions 
throughout North America, 
according its Web site.

The report also found dissat­
isfaction and lower likelihood 
of re-enrollment among Asian- 
American and black students.

"Students aren't always able 
to attend their first choice institu­
tions. A suggestion to campuses 
is to make an effort to have tar­
geted initiatives for subgroups 
of their student population to 
improve 
satisfaction among 
student demographic groups," 
Bryant said.

Gary Lavergne, Office of 
Admissions program manager 
at the office of administration at 
UT, said he feels students at the 
University do enjoy their experi­
ences here.

"We do know that 90 to 93 per­
cent of students return for their 
sophomore year," Lavergne said.
Lavergne also said that there 
are two things happening within 
the University: they are enrolling 
more successful students as well

as students who want to return.

Texas not thinking of revenge

Like nearly all of his teammates, 
McCoy realizes both the Longhorns 
and Wildcats are different teams this 
year, and there's no reason to obsess 
over the season-destroying loss Kansas

"We're not focused on that any­

Texas relaxed heading into Lubbock

By Blake Hurtik
Daily Texan Staff 

As the Texas volleyball team filed into 
Gregory Gym before practice Tuesday, 
the conversation was quick to pick up.

With a match tonight against Big 12 
opponent Texas Tech in Lubbock, head 
coach Jerritt Elliott must have used 
every precious second to squeeze as 
much game planning and strategy into 
his player's heads as possible, right?

Not exactly.
The pre-practice banter drifted from a 
brief debate over the signature phrases 
of Texans versus Californians. A chorus 
of "likes" and "y'alls" quickly devolved 
into discussion over reading habits and 
issues with parking on campus — topics 
any student can relate to.

One reason for the relaxed approach 
could be the two straight conference 
wins the No. 7 Longhorns (6-3, 2-1 Big

12) have reeled off against Missouri and 
Iowa State.

Or maybe it's the fact that Elliott 
hasn't lost to the Red Raiders (7-6, 1- 
3) in his six-year tenure at Texas. The 
Longhorns have dominated Tech with 
a 62-9-2 all-time record against them, 
including a 27-2 mark in Lubbock and a 
current 12 match winning streak.

Everything seems to click for Texas

Turn around will be tough without Mourinho

By Michael Sherfield
Daily Texan Colum nist

As rain soaked the Old Trafford 
pitch and joyous chants of victory 
descended from the upper terrac­
es, one could not help but wonder 
at how much had changed.

While skipper John Terry led 
his men off the field — resilient 
to the last kick, yet defeated none­
theless — the transformation in 
his Chelsea side was shocking.

Only four months ago, this 
same team had lifted the F A. Cup 
trophy after defeating Manchester 
United in the final. This time 
around, however, there only ever 
looked to be one winner.

A late Luis Saha penalty fol­
lowed a first half Carlos Tevez 
header and the Red Devils were, 
comfortable winners over their 
one-time nemeses.

This match featured plenty of 
the drama and physicality of past 
contests, Jon Obi Mikel receiving 
a red card half an hour into the 
game and Wayne Rooney almost

But Chelsea was always second

as the second minute, yet never 
threatening to score themselves.
So what has changed

last Sunday?

pler: Jose Mourinho.

Following a backroom power 
struggle, the Portuguese man­
ager stunned the football world 
by announcing he would leave 
Chelsea with immediate effect 
just days before his side's cru­

cial early season game against 
Manchester United.

Chelsea's recent run of glory 
came almost out of nowhere. 
Following a fourth place finish 
in 2002, the club was bought 
by Russian billionaire Roman 
AbramovichUnder the guicance 
of managerial mastermind Jose 
Mourinho and fielding the most 
expensive team in English foot­
ball history, Chelsea stormed to 
their first ever Premier League 
title in 2004, losing only one game 
and accumulating 95 points — a 
new record.

The 

trophies continued 

to 
flow into Stamford Bridge, and 
in M oum iho's three years in 
charge, Chelsea won six domes­
tic trophies.

Now, following a disappoint­
ing 1-1 draw with Norwegian 
minnows Rosenberg 
to open 
European play and consecutive 
Premier League defeats, Chelsea's 
season is teetering on the brink.

Yet more alarming then the 
two-time champion's early sea­

son form is the sudden departure 
of their leader just seven games 
into the season, leaving staff, play­
ers and fans divided and without 
direction.

Meanwhile, the most poignant 
reminder of what Chelsea has lost 
came on the field on Sunday.

In 11 matches against United, 
Mourinho lost only once. Without 
him, Chelsea quickly and quiet­
ly succumbed to defeat, leaving 
them five points behind league 
leader Arsenal after only two 
months of play.

As Chelsea tries to pick up the 
pieces of an already broken sea­
son, the mood around Stamford 
Bridge is one that reflects the end 
of an era for Chelsea Football 
Club.

Yet if they are to salvage this 
young season, there will be no 
tactical gem us or outspoken figure 
to rally around 
Instead, it will be 
up to the most expensive accu­
mulation of talent in professional 
football history to deliver results 
and live up to its bill.

Big 12 play will 
answer questions 
o f soccer freshmen

I know it may seem like a 

month late, but the season 
is finally about to start for 
Texas soccer.

After four weeks of fac­

ing an average batch of 
opponents (except for then- 
No. 2 UCLA, of course), 
the Longhorns will see 
their first Big 12 opponent 
Sunday, when they host a 
bottom-of-the-barrel Texas 
Tech squad.

It may not be an explo­
sive opener, but it will still 
give fans a chance to see 
how exactly Texas will fare 
in a conference that has six 
teams ranked regionally 
and five moving in and out 
of the national polls.

What that means for 
No. 6 Texas is a chance 
to answer the questions 
that are looming over this 
team against some serious 
competition — namely the 
freshmen forwards.

Pac-10 in Texan’s Poll

By Ryan Killian
Daily Texan Staff 
The Golden Bears really haven't 
done anything to convince me 
they're an elite team, but they 
finally made their debut appear­
ance in my top 10. Coincidentally, 
their opponent this week, Oregon, 
also made the list, meaning one 
of these Pac 10 teams will have a 
very brief stay among the cream 
of the crop.

Oklahoma
Oklahoma kicks off 
conference play this week­

teams from the North. No reason it 
shouldn't be another blowout.

Texas' first blowout of 
the year was impressive,

V-BALL: Quality numbers posted by Faucette

From page 1B

to 

recruiting 
the consistent 
perform ance against Tech but 
knows not to overlook a team, 
no m atter their place in the 
standings.

“We know that every team is 
good in the Big 12," Elliott said. 
“We just have to be prepared. 
That's the biggest thing."

Texas' perform ance the last 
two times out indicates they will 
be prepared.
Freshm an 

hitter 
Juliann Faucette has left Texas 
fans expecting 20-plus kill per­
formances, and w hen team ed 
w ith sophom ore outside hit­
ter Destinee Hooker, the duo

outside 

gives the Longhorns one of the 
prem ier offensive attacks in the 
country.

Despite her impressive num ­
bers — a team-leading 5.04 kills 
per game on .386 hitting — the 
m odest Faucette isn't satisfied 
with her showing so far.

“I totally feel like just a little 
freshman w ho has so m uch to 
work on," Faucette said.

Elliott w ould disagree w ith 
her sentim ent 
to 
offense but is still looking for 
her and the team to improve 
defensively.

in regards 

"As a coach you're always 
looking for more," Elliott said. 
“We've p ut some really good

stretches together defensively, 
but we have to continue to sus­
tain pressure on teams to get 
them to emotionally bow out of 
games."

The team could be getting a 
boost, if All-American Ashley 
Engle returns to the court. The 
sophomore setter /opposite hit­
ter has dressed and w arm ed up 
for the last two matches but has 
yet to play since the Aug. 25 
match at Penn State due to an 
unspecified injury.

“A shley's starting to m ake 
some steps," Elliott said. “[With 
her back] we can make some 
good moves here to be better 
defensively."

WHITE: Leadership will come from Carpenter

season, scoring 10 of the team 's 
22 goals thus far.

But how will this group do 
against the Texas A&M's of the 
conference?

"You can see those guys start­
ing to grow," Texas head coach 
Chris Petrucelli said of his fresh­
men. “ I think they'll get better 
[in conference play]."

The key for 

the new com ­
ers will be adjusting from the 
defenders of UTSA and Houston 
to the tough back lines of No. 
3 A&M and No. 16 Oklahoma 
State.

Freshm an Niki Arlitt, w ho 
has scored at least once in every 
game she has played, has prov­
en she knows w hat to do w ith 
the ball once she receives it in 
the box. But w hether or not

she can get the space needed 
against the quality defenders 
the Big 12 has to offer has yet 
to be seen.

the conference 

In the end, Texas' p erfo r­
is 
in 
m ance 
the 
to boil dow n 
going 
leadership of the veterans on 
the 
team , especially Kelsey 
Carpenter.

to 

With so m any young play ­
ers seeing their first Big 12 
action up front, C arpenter will 
be counted on to set the pace 
— som ething Petrucelli m ust 
u n d erstan d , since he subbed 
C arpenter out early in the last 
tw o games.

“W e've got 

to m ake sure 
Kelsey's fresh come conference 
play and playoff time," he said 
after playing C arpenter for only 
60 m inutes against H ouston.

Early in the season, Carpenter

was the focal point of the attack, 
taking the majority of the pos­
sessions and using her speed 
to dictate the tempo. Once the 
freshmen began to get settled in, 
Carpenter m oved to the wing 
and began to pass on her shot in 
favor of dishing it off to one the 
freshmen.

She played that role well, and 
it probably w ent a long w ay in 
helping the rookies to develop, 
but if the Big 12 defenses start 
to close in on Arlitt and the rest 
of the freshmen, C arpenter is 
going to have to be more aggres­
sive and look more for her own 
shot.

A m onth of non-conference 
play has shown that this fresh­
men class has talent, but it's 
going to take a tough Big 12 in 
order for fans to figure out if 
they are for real or not.

“They're going to try to come after 
us early on. If we handle that, I 
think we'll be fine."

There is never a perfect way 
to prepare for a defense. Plus,

Kansas State has had two weeks 
to prepare for Texas' offense.

So it still comes down to funda­

mentals and discipline.

“We're going to have to be

'24 Hour Party People' (2002)
is 
"24 Hour Party People" 
the mostly factual story of the 
Manchester music scene from 
1977 to 1992, fueled by news 
personality and record executive 
Tony Wilson (played by British 
comedian Steve Coogan).

At the beginning of the movie, 
we see footage of the Sex Pistols' 
legendary show at the Lesser Free 
Trade Hall in Manchester, a gig 
that would very directly influ­
ence the creation of bands such 
as Joy Division, the Smiths and 
Buzzcocks, among others.

Wilson and his friends, also 
m attendance at the concert, are 
inspired to create a new record 
label, Factory Records, which 
they called an "experiment in 
human nature." They then accept 
Joy Division as their first band 
and consequentially proceed to 
reshape the direction of music for 
decades to come.

The movie progresses through 
the punk and post-punk era into 
the newly developed rave culture, 
sustained by Factory Records' 
efforts and the perfect combi­
nation of sex, drugs and music. 
Eventually, Wilson and the entire 
scene begin spiraling violently 
out of control on a self-destruc­
tive rampage, and it seems only 
a matter of time before the whole 
thing explodes.

"Party' People" documents the 
beginning of a movement that 
completely redefined the direction 
of modem music. The movie itself 
is an entertaining, clever look at a 
wild and catalytic time in popular 
culture and definitely belongs on 
the essential music movie list.

TOP 25: Spacek captures Loretta Lynn’s spirit

Blues legend dies at 49

By Z a c h Ernst
Daily Texan Staff 
Local blues harmonica legend 
Gary Primich died suddenly on 
Sunday. He was 49.

Since moving to Austin in the 
mid-1980s, Primich quickly made 
a name for himself as one of the 
city's finest harmonica players. 
He was a member of Austin's 
blues elite, sitting in at shows 
around town to the delight of 
those in the audience, as well as 
the other musicians on stage. He 
also toured the world's blues cir­

cuit, packing 
across 
clubs 
Europe. His 
r e c o r d i n g s 
the 1990s 
in 
some 
remain 
of the most cel­
ebrated blues 
releases of the 
decade.

P r i m i c h 
regu­

Gary Primich, 

Blues Musician

played 
larly all around Austin, including 
college hangouts Loca Maria's 
(with the Sunday morning Hippie

Church band) and the legend­
ary East Austin juke joint T.C.'s 
Lounge. On Monday night, fel­
low Austin harmonica aces Dale 
Spalding and Greg Izor played 
together in tribute to Primich.

“This one is for the late, great 
Gary Primich," Izor said before 
launching 
swinging, 
into a 
upbeat blues tune.

M emorial service information fo r 
Gary Primich is pending. Donations 
can be made to the SIMS Foundation 
or the Animal Trustees o f Austin in 
his honor.

GARZA: Students free to work at their own pace

From page 6B

“I wasn't perceived as some­
body who could do something 
with their life," Milligan says.

In August 2002, after complet­
ing his junior year at Austin High 
School, Milligan transferred to 
Garza. He says Garza allowed 
him to focus on his education and 
work at his own pace.

"Garza teaches you to work 
smarter, not harder," Milligan 
says.

Milligan was featured in a video 
made by Dr. Franklin about solu­
tion-focused therapy and talked 
about his dream of going to Japan. 
A solution-focused therapist in 
Japan saw Franklin's video and 
paid Carl's way to visit Japan. On 
July 24, Milligan traveled to Tokyo 
for a four-day trip, fully funded by 
Takenouchi.

"It was euphoric," Milligan says 
of the trip. ' It was like an out-of- 
body experience, like God was 
walking with me the whole time."
He wants to return to Japan next 

year and see more of the country.

Power to the students

"We put the ownership in the 
hands it belongs in: the student's," 
Baldwin says.

Instead of disciplining students, 
she explains that using the solu­
tion-focused method encourages 
them to recount their reasoning, 
and allows them to come to their 
own realization of a bad decision. 
This lets the students improve on 
their own without judgement.

Franklin continues to work 
closely with Garza, training new 
faculty and doing consultations. 
She is also continuing her work 
with solution-focused 
therapy 
and is trying to compare research

that has been done. As the use of 
solution-focused therapy grows, 
Franklin says, "There is a big 
thrust to get all the research that 
has been done together."

Any junior or senior student in 
AISD can enroll at Garza, given 
that they have completed 10 
credits at their home high school. 
Eligible students can enroll at 
Garza anytime during the year 
with its open enrollment policy 
The coursework is self-pacea, the 
curriculum is challenging and rel­
evant to students' goals, whether 
that be a career or secondary edu­
cation.

"You can make your own cours­
es as challenging and fulfilling as 
you want," says Rose, who spent 
extra time on favorite subjects, 
such as calculus. For other sub­
jects, like government, she was 
able to master the material with 
assignments on the computer in as 
little as four weeks.

Students are also free to give 

their input on assignments.

"I was able to fuse my commu­
nity activism and school work," 
says Rose. "In English, I could 
write a persuasive speech on rel­
evant issues I was working with 
in Austin Voices for Education and 
Youth."

Getting positive results

The solution-focused approach 
is ideal for students who have 
had difficulty in more traditional 
learning environments. Many 
students at Garza have been 
identified as at-risk students in 
the past, being pegged as drop­
outs. Students who have failed 
classes multiple times at their 
home high school excel at Garza, 
given their willingness to put in 
the effort, explained Baldwin.

Baldwin is happy the school 
has seen remarkable results like 
these through the use of solu­
tion-focused therapy. According 
to Baldwin, only two fights have 
occurred at the school in the nine 
and one-half years Garza has been 
open.

In many ways, Garza is inde­
pendent of the other high schools 
in AJSD. As an alternative learning 
center, the school does not follow 
a traditional high school set-up. 
Some rules that are enforced, how­
ever, contradict Garza's misw- 
sion. Rose says when the district 
enforced the 90 percent attendance 
rule, it was actually a detriment to 
Garza.

"As it is, the students who are 
there come to school because they 
want to be there," Rose says.

Franklin says she has found 
that the solution-focused method 
is ideal for use in schools.

"It is easy to transport, to train 
and apply the philosophy and 
set of techniques into a school 
setting. It is as easy to train a 
para-professional 
in solution- 
focused brief therapy as it is a 
counselor," she says.

Garza High School has become 
a model institution for the use of 
solution-focused therapy. Baldwin 
travels across the world to talk 
about the methods and successes 
at the school. Her most recent 
invitation was from the American 
Embassy to speak to a group of 
policy makers in Ireland.

Baldwin is proud of the envi­
ronment at Garza, which she 
explained is created by the stu­
dents.

"That is an environment created 
and maintained by the students," 
she says. "These students redis­
cover a love of learning."

From page 6B

trying to get their own lives 
together, "SLC Punk!" chronicles 
not only their entertaining tra- 
vaiLs but also their vastly mis­
understood and misrepresented 
music demographic. The punks 
of the film are always at odds 
with some other group, clari­
fying their "tribe" from other 
cliques (mods, neo-nazis, and 
new-wavers to name a few) and 
struggling to establish their own 
identity. You're either a punk or 
not; trying to be a punk without 
really adopting the beliefs shame­
fully brands you as a poser. Stevo 
hates posers.

The music and 

those who 
listen to it are constantly paral­
leled in this film. Punk rock is 
unabashedly loud, clear, vulgar 
and occasionally brutal, but it's 
also undeniably human to the 
core. The same is true with our 
heroes Stevo and Bob. Sure, the 
duo attends shows where violent 
fights break out hastily, acid is 
dropped readily and authority 
is denounced fiercely; they may 
fling the term "poser" around a 
little too liberally just to get into 
a brawl; but mixed in with all the 
anger and frustration, this film 
presents the humanity of a genre 
popularly deemed antisocial and 
destructive. Stevo rebels against 
becoming a successful and con­
tent lawyer like his father; Bob is 
so against "hard" drugs that he 
sticks solely to alcohol and ciga­
rettes. They both have girl issues. 
They struggle with leaving their 
hometown. They're punks, but 
they're also normal people that 
have something to say just like 
everyone else.

— Travis Bauer

'Coal Miner's Daughter'(1980)

Bessie Smith paved the way for 
women in the realm of blues, as 
did Janis Joplin for female rock­
ers, but it was Loretta Lynn who 
made a place for women within 
the country and western genre 
of music. In the 1980 film "Coal 
Miner's Daughter," Sissy Spacek 
delivers a powerful performance

of the hard, yet joyful life of this 
Kentucky-born songstress. The 
unsure Spacek, who was hand- 
picked to play the singer's role 
by Lynn herself, nearly passed it 
on to someone else. Fortunately, 
she remained and took home an 
Oscar for her dramatic portrayal 
as a result. At the young age 
of 13, Loretta Webb wed war 
veteran Mooney Lynn (Tommy 
Lee Jones) and, together, they 
moved to Washington state. By 
the age of 20, Loretta, now a 
mother of four, began singing 
in local honky tonks, allowing 
her musical talents to become 
noticeable.

Backed by Mooney, Loretta 
traveled from radio station to 
radio station throughout the south 
and was finally awarded a spot 
on Nashville's Grand Ole Opry. 
Loretta endured many hardships 
within the biz, including the 
unexpected death of dear friend 
Patsy Cline (Beverly D'Angelo). 
Spacek captures Lynn's qualities 
accurately and realistically, espe­
cially her strength and determi­
nation, which adds richness to 
the already touching film.

'The Commitments' (1991)

Blue cojlar Dubliners set out 
against the ódds tóbeosme an Irish 
Soul band. Their driving force? Not 
money or feme. ( )nlv love of the 
music and the want of something 
beautiful to enliven their otherwise 
mundane, working class existence.
Despite the seemingly anoma­
lous plot of Black music in perhaps 
one of the whitest of possible set­
tings, the unfolding story is far 
from cheesy and actually quite 
convincing. These Irish lads and 
lasses have every bit as much 
soul as Otis or Aretha, and their 
lovably eccentric characters will 
surely charm you.

Much like "The Blues Brothers" 
before it, "The Commitments" 
helped introduce a younger audi­
ence to R&B and features many 
memorable performances of 
favorites such as "Mustang Sally" 
and other American soul stan­
dards.

School thrives using new method

By Mary Hooper
Daily Texan Staff 
Imagine seeing these rules in 

your high school classroom:

D on't come to class smelling like 
 keep your phones on 
 answer emergency 

a cigarette —
vibrate or silent —
calls only in the hallivay, please —
don't curse in everyday conversation.

 

Most high school students 
have even stricter rules than 
these, but at Gonzalo Garza 
Independence High School in 
Austin 
Independent School 
District, these are the classroom 
guidelines.

"In most secondary schools, 
control is the name of the game," 
says Vicky Baldwin, principal at 
Garza.

The school opened with Baldwin 
as principal on January 3, 1998, 
and was conceived as a way to 
remove barriers students encoun-

ter in traditional high schools.

Focusing on the future

Baldwin 

immediately recog­
nized that many of the students 
coming to Garza would have 
emotional, social and even physi­
cal Issues that would need atten­
tion. A social worker at the school 
demonstrated a method known as 
solution-focused brief therapy, and 
it quickly developed into a central 
philosophy at Garza.

Solution-focused brief therapy 
was developed in the early 1980s 
by husband and wife team Insoo 
Kim Berg and Steve de Shazer as 
a counseling method. Rather than 
focusing on the problems that an 
individual has, the therapy concen­
trates on one's resources, strengths 
and goals. The emphasis is on the 
future. In an educational setting 
like Garza, this means creating an 
environment of trust and respect 
for students.

Dr. Cynthia Franklin, a professor 
in the School of Sodal Work at the 
University of Texas, was an invalu­
able resource for the school as they

solution-focused 
implemented 
brief 
therapy, says Baldwin. 
Franklin conducted research on 
how Garza High School used the 
solution-focused brief 
therapy 
method beginning in 2002.

She and colleague Calvin 
Streeter published "The Solution- 
focused Alternatives in Education 
(SAFED) Garza High School 
Project Process Evaluation" with a 
grant from the Hogg Foundation 
for Mental Health. She also wrote 
a guide based on her work at 
Garza: 
"Solution-Focusgd
Accountability Schools for the 
21st Century: A Training Manual 
for Gonzalo Garza Independence 
High School."

The students

Charlie Rose, a Plan 11 sopho­
more, graduated from Garza in 
2006. In August 2004, Rose went 
into early labor and started doing 
home-bound education. When 
she started having problems with 
the program, she decided not to 
finish her fall 2004. semester and 
enrolled at Garza in January 2005.

"My teachers weren't send 
ing work, and there was a lot oi 
miscommunication between rrt) 
McCallum teachers and my regu­
lar teachers," Rose says.

For Rose, the main attractior 
of Garza was its on-site day care 
center.

"I was able to drop in between 
classes to see my son," she says 
"Teachers were understanding ii 
I had a doctor's appointment or ii 
my son had an appointment."

Baldwin says she cannot stress 
enough how smart the students 
are at Garza, despite the setbacks 
they have been through. One stu­
dent at the school spent three years 
in Texas Youth Commission and is 
now excelling at Garza.

"He says he's seen enough of 

street life," Baldwin says proudly.

Carl Milligan graduated from 
Garza in 2003 but returns to visit 
the school several times each year. 
He explained that he often had 
problems when he was a student 
at Austin High School.

‘Against odds’ theme 
found in films 15-11

'8 Mile'(2002)

In Eminem's overlooked, 
stunning cp rtrav aL ^ himself, 
he cemented his rote as the most 
important]man in hip-hop ... for 
a little w t * . The mem popular 
his stock the more Cerebral his 
work, the more confrontational 
he got, the more Em rejected the 
spotlight! His apex of relevance 
culminated with his silver screen 
debut.

As 50 Cent, Em's colleague 
and collaborate^ showed three 
years later with the horrendous 
"Get Rich or Die Tryin'," it's not 
particulary easy to make a worth­
while cinematic autobiographi­
cal experience of your exploited 
and romanticized urban youth. 
"8 Mile" became a flagship — a 
genuine, surprisingly well-acted 
and received period piece that 
prominent rappers dubiously ref­
erenced and mirrored. "I'll make 
you shoot yourself like Chedder 
Bob" and "I'm up here battling 
Eric Sermon — the generic ver­
sion" soon became every hack 
battle emcee's bread and butter 
haymakers.
The 

film's best moments 
— authentic and bleak interac­
tions between its bored protago­
nists (listening to Biggie, shoot­

ing paintball guns at cop cars) 
— wondrously harnessed the 
positive effects perpetual, soci­
etal boredom had on the pre- 
MySpace generation.

And wasn't Kim Basinger in 
"8 Mile"? I mean, that has to 
cement its legitimacy.

'SLC Punk!' (1980)

Everyone should be instantly 
sold on this movie's premise: a 
film aboup college aged punks 
roaming around bait Lake City 
in the '80^ with both hilarious 
and tragic consequences. Yes, 
please.

Based around the two main 
characters Stevo and Bob, who 
passionately defend their beliefs 
of punk rock and anarchy while

Well, here's som ething to take you r m ind off the

What is it about Pluckers that makes 
it so popular with the UT commu­

nity?
As former U T students, I think we 

understand the needs and desires of 

the U T Austin community. Most 

students have fond memories of late 

nights at Pluckers and we trv to tos-

can just hang out, eat great food and 

watch sports. Pluckers is somewhere

What is the craziest story in Pluckers

I think the craziest 

Pluckers story was 

when W ing Zone

bunch o f Pluckers

knownst to us) pick­

eted their restaurant.

Have you always wanted to be a

It wasn’t until I was getting close 

to graduating from college and 

realized I never wranted a real job 

that the idea o f becom ing a pro­

fessor started to appeal to me.

What about your teaching style 

and/or your classes makes you so 

appealing to UT Austin students?

There is a significantly extem po­

raneous com ponent to my lec­

tures. I am fortunate to be able to 

turn on a valve in my head, and 

without much preplanning, out

to study abroad and she later sent 

me a post card from the Barrier 

Reef that told me she couldn’t wait 

to get there to prove me wrong.

What interesting assignment is your 

class working on this semester?

I am teaching a pilot signature 

course on inquiry called Originality 

in the A rts and Sciences and every 

assignment is interesting because 

it basically starts with “go out and 

do something interesting and come 

back and tell me about it.” After 

students get over the initial shock 

o f realizing they are on their own, 

the door is wide open on discovery.

I have a blast reading one really cool 

idea turned to reality' afrer another.

Do you have a lot of students that 

come back to visit you after they 

graduate?

Tragically, I am now an administra­

by is more difficult than it used to 

be. But I get a lot o f letters and e- 

mails that really please me. O ne o f

Why do you think the UT Austin 

community considers you one of 

the funniest professors on campus?

Because U Tm ost runs this contest. 

Honestly until then I wouldn r have

test called most sarcastic or most 

cynical they would have chosen me 

for that award instead.

U H ID has branched out, in the

have accrued a rotating cast of play­

likely that you will hear live instru­

accomplished en masse, we had 10 

musicians in the studio at the same
