Daw n Jones-Garcia Daily Texan Staff Former UT student charged with felonies related to Cave murder By Philip Jankowski Daily Texan Staff Former UT student Laura Ashley Hall, the ex-lover of con­ victed murderer Colton Pitonyak, was back in court Monday for pretrial hearings to decide if previous statements she gave to police should be stricken from her upcoming trial. Hall faces charges related to the 2005 murder of Jennifer Cave. Pitonyak is currently serving a 55-year sentence for the murder. Her trial is scheduled to start on Aug. 27, the day before her 24th birthday. Hall avoided cam­ eras on her way into the court by hiding her face with her hands and wearing a shawl around her head. Hall is accused of hindering the apprehension of Pitonyak and of tampering with evidence — both third-degree felonies punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Cave died from a gunshot wound, but when her body was found in Pitonyak's West Campus apart­ ment, her head and hands had been severed. Defense attorney Tom Webber argued that Austin Police Detective Mark Gilchrest took TRIAL continues on page 2 UT to undergo lengthy accreditation process ference. "The proposed regula­ tions would place responsibility where it belongs — with colleges and universities. They would set educational objectives tailored to their unique mission and deter­ mine how they should measure effectiveness. Students and fami­ lies deserve a system that pro­ motes greater transparency and accountability." What exactly these objectives would be, how the government could enforce them or what type of role a universities would be allowed to play in the process was not clear in Spellings' statement. A representative from the U.S. Department of Education could "S tu d e n ts a n d fam ilies de se rve a system that p ro m o te s greater tran sp are n cy an d accountability." Margaret Spellings, U.S. Secretary of Education not be reached for comment. Critics argue that the depart­ ment is attempting to create a uni­ versal standard for higher educa­ tion by reforming the accreditation process. Tensions flared at recent meetings between department officials and accreditors, who have shown strong resistance to government intervention. Congressional delegates have laid out their own intentions to reform accreditation standards. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., sent a letter to Spellings asking her to refrain from proposing new regulations on accreditation EDUCATION continues on page 2 Federal government wants accountability; transparency reforms By Zachary Posner Daily Texan Staff For the first time in 10 years, the University seeks to reaffirm its status as a regionally accred­ ited school during the 2007-2008 school year. As the University prepares, changes to the accredi­ tation process are being debated around the nation. Accreditation is a means of quality assurance, and only accredited schools are able receive federal and state grants and loans. The University's upcom­ ing reaffirmation will judge the University as a whole and give it a "stamp of approval," said UT President William Powers. Soon, however, accredited schools may be asked to do more. The long-debated issue was recently discussed by U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings at her Higher Education Summit in Boston June 14. Because the U.S. government does not have centralized author­ ity over education, institutions have a considerable amount of independence, and programs can vary in quality, according to the education department's Web site on accreditation. The practice of accredita­ tion arose through the Higher Education Act, which provides for non-govemmental peer eval­ uations of educational institu­ tions, and is a process the edu­ cation department now aims to reform. "We simply want the current system of accreditation to bet­ ter emphasize student learning law and achievement as the requires," Spellings said in a prepared statement for the con­ In d e x Volume 107, Number 162 25 cents Alex Martinez, part-owner of Martinez Brothers Taxidermy on South Lamar Boulevard, puts the finishing touches on a bass before placing it out to dry in the Texas heat.

Cooley Pavilion. Eli Kaplan Daily Texan Staff By JJ Wells Daily Texan Staff the During summer, the University offers camps that cover a wide range of topics, from bas­ ketball to video game production to conflict resolution. Hundreds of students of various (ges converge on campus during the summer months to take full advantage of the opportunities presented. RecSports offers kids the chance to improve their soccer, lacrosse or even ultimate frisbee skills. Members of University club teams give camp­ ers advice and help to bring their game up a notch or two. RecSports Assistant Director Chad McKenzie said the camps not only offer kids a way to improve their game, but also to give back to the city of Austin. "It's more for RecSports to get out and give back to the commu­ nity," he said. "Most of the kids are from the Austin area." McKenzie said he expects about 550 kids to participate in this year's camps that run through June. The UT Athletic Department offers camps of its own, giving campers the chance to train along­ side UT student athletes.

"It's a lot about learning about basketball, the skills with basketball and learning to love the University of Texas," he said, "We try to teach them life lessons about hard work and lessons off the floor." In their workshops in animation, video and editing, the UT radio- television-film department offers campers the opportunity to create and star in their own movies, as well as create video games. Some of the workshops incorporate pro­ fessional software to teach campers how to create films using digital animation as well as traditional techniques.

He had been battling acute leukemia for the past year. Hackerman the University as a chemistry teach­ er, researcher and administrator in two stints totaling 47 years. Between terms at the University of Texas, he was president of Rice University from 1970 to 1985. served An avid squash player until days before his death, Hackerman played with many members of the UT faculty, including accounting professor Michael Granof. Granof recalls a match with Hackerman a few years ago in which the chemist apologized for his unusu­ ally exhausted state afterward. Hackerman, already in his 90s, had arrived home from Hong Kong only hours before hitting the courts. Hired as an assistant professor of chemistry in 1945, Hackerman moved up the ranks to the posi­ tion of president, where he served for three years, from 1967 to 1970. He left to assume the presidency at Rice for 15 years before retir­ ing and returning to Austin as a professor ementus of chemistry. An expert in metal corrosion, he was inducted into the Texas Hall of Fame for Science, Mathematics and Technology in 2003. Chemistry professor Allen Bard credits Hackerman with turning the University ot Texas from a regional institution into an international uni­ versity and a research powerhouse. "H e was a great proponent of science on both the state and national level," Bard said. College of Natural Sciences Dean Mary Ann Rankin applauded Hackerman for obtaining the first federal grant in sdtool history. HACKERMAN com nues on page 2 News.............

TUESDAY, JUNE 19,2007 P ageTwo T h e D a i l y T e x a n Governor trims research funding in line-item veto By JJ Wells D aily Texan Staff Exercising his line-item-veto power, Gov. Rick Perry cut nearly $570 million from the proposed 2008-2009 state budget last week. Although most of the budget­ ary reductions were in response to federal Medicaid refunds, state university funding was also in Perry's cross hairs. Perry slashed proposed funding for "special items," or earmarks, at universities across the state by nearly 30 percent. He cut funding for diabetes and obesity research, as well as over $5 million from Texas Tech University, Texas State University and the University of Houston. The UT System was not affected as heavily as other sys­ tems in the state. Perry's cuts, which added up to about $36 million in special- item spending for higher-educa- tion institutions, trimmed funding from what he termed "pet pork projects." But after shooting down nearly $36 million in appropriated funds for universities statewide, Perry called for $100 million in incentive funding that would, in theory, be distributed based on graduation rates. "I was disappointed to see that the governor cut what he described as the budget," said State Rep. Elliott Naishtat, D-Austin. "Especially in higher education." 'pork' from Also taking a hit were com­ munity colleges around the state. Perry eliminated a budget item that would have given communi­ ty college employees $154 million in state benefits, reasoning that community college employees are not state employees and are thus not eligible for state benefits. Despite the seemingly large cuts, the proposed budget calls for an 11-percent increase over last year's spending, which left the state with around $7 billion left over, the highest surplus ever. Most of the money eliminated, however, was associated with refunding the federal Medicare Part D program. However, Naishtat said that the cut won't do much good, because the money will still have to be paid, and will probably appear on the next budget. "It's going to be up to the 81st Legislature to make up for the cut in two years," he said. Perry did not respond to phone calls for comment Monday. TRIAL: Testimony touches on Hall’s access to attorney From page 1 statements from Hall after she requested an attorney. Gilchrest, while on the stand, said Hall did not ask for an attorney to be pres­ ent during their talks on August 23, 2005, at her parents' home in Tarpley, Texas. Hall's father, Loren, testified that she did ask for an attorney, but Gilchrest told her that she did not have to right to an attorney because no charges had been filed against her. Hall's father also said that Gilchrest threatened to arrest her on the spot it she did not cooperate. Of the three statements taken interview, she only from the signed one. Three days later, on Aug. 26, Gilchrest invited Hall to come get her car from the Austin Police Department. When she arrived, Gilchrest took her into an interro­ gation room. When Hall asked for an attorney, Gilchrest produced an arrest warrant. "She was definitely not calm," Gilchrest said of Hall after he pro­ duced her warrant. Hall then said she would coop­ erate without the presence of an attorney. Gilchrest said he coun­ seled with his superiors and the district attorney's office before he continued the interview. Hall signed a card indicating that she w ould waive her rights to an attorney. After the interview, Hall was arrested and taken to jail. Hall is due back in court on July 2.

Bryant Haertlein | Daily Texan Staff Grant to help protect UT’s buildings By Mary Tuma Daily Texan Staff With a $175,000 grant from the Getty Foundation, the University will work on a project to preserve the historic and cultural heritage of the campus. The preservation plan will begin in September and last two years. "The University of Texas at Austin is home to some of the nation's finest academic architec­ ture and designed landscapes," said Deborah Marrow, director of the Getty Foundation, in a news release. "We are pleased to sup­ port the planning that will ensure the long-term preservation of these important historic resources." The Main Building and Battle Hall are likely to be looked at more closely because of their historical importance, said Fran Gale, head of UT's Architectural C onservation Laboratory. In a 2007 poll conducted by the American Institute of Architects, Battle Hall was among America's top 150 favorite buildings. Battle Hall, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was designed by Cass Gilbert, archi­ tect of the U.S. Supreme Court. The Main Building, which was constructed in three phases that ended in 1899, will probably be the primary focus, Gale said. "It is really the anchor," she said. The grant for the project is part of the Getty Foundation's Campus Heritage initiative. This year will be the last year the endowment continues the initiative. that "We knew the com­ petition would be very tough, because it's the last year of the program, and no Texas univer­ sity had ever received one," said Michael Holleran, project super­ visor and director of the School of Architecture's graduate program in historic preservation. "We are now the exception." The plan will survey and exam­ ine the history, landscape and condition of UT buildings. Much of the preservation work will take place at the Architectural Conservation Laboratory, a research and teaching facility in the West Mall that examines and tests the exteriors of historical buildings. "We hope to find a better under­ standing of how to care for the buildings in the future," Gale said. "It is really about stewardship." Gale, who helped with the ini­ tiative proposal, said she believes a main factor in receiving the grant was the combination of the historical preservation school working in conjunction with campus planning and facilities management. As part of the grad­ uate instruction component of the grant, historical preservation graduate students will be able to work on the project during classes and with architectural firm Volz & Associates Inc. The firm has been contracted for restoration projects by the University before, such as a 2001 project at Winedale, an educational and historic facility near Round Top, Texas. "The nature of this program is one in which you have to immerse yourself in real proj­ ects," Holleran said. "Students will have the opportunity to work in-depth with some of the most significant architecture in the country." Graduate student and Student Historic Preservation Association Vice President Sarah Duffy said she was looking forward to apply­ ing what she's learned in class. "We have amazing historical resources on campus right at our fingertips," Duffy said. Duffy was the only graduate student w ho worked on the pro­ posal to the Getty Foundation. Holleran said that receiving the grant has shown how the UT community truly feels about pre­ serving the historical significance of the campus. "One of the wonderful things The preservation plan will include: • A cultural resource survey to determine eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. • A cultural landscape inventory that will include a m anagem ent plan for the historic landscape. • An architectural conservation plan based on a com prehensive survey of buildings'exterior conditions. • An in-depth investigation, including laboratory and field testing of conservation methods, for a representative set of buildings. •The plan includes graduate instruction; continuing education workshops; an interpretation of campus history; and an establishment of a long-term material collection and test-site monitoring protocol. has been discovering that the entire community, from the folks who work on the ground to the highest level of administration, are dedicated to preservation of the campus," Holleran said. "I think the Getty really respected the fact that the campus is com­ mitted to conserve its historical architecture." Details and framework for the preservation plan will be final­ ized during the summer. HACKERMAN: Form er president prom oted science From page 1 "This was when he was just a brand-new faculty member, but he was already pushing the adm inistration here to make changes to position us to be a research university so we could get grants," Rankin said. Bom in March 1912 in Baltimore, Hackerman earned his doctorate in chemistry from Johns Hopkins University in 1935. He worked three jobs during the Depression, one of which was at a milk-homogenization plant. He enlisted in the Navy, where he worked on the Manhattan Project, during World War II. His work with uranium was used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Hackerman, whose wife died in 2002, is survived by three daughters and a son. The servic­ es, arranged by Austin's Weed- Corley-Fish funeral home, are pending.

EDUCATION: Changes could be intrusive From page 1 until after the Higher Education Act is reauthorized. The Higher Education Act was last reautho­ rized in 1998 and is supposed to be renewed every five years. Powers said that creating eval­ uations of students beyond what is required at universities may be a touchy subject. "There is a lot of talk about having performance evalua­ tions for students leaving the university, maybe a national exam," said Powers. "It would be quite intrusive. Would we want to teach to that test? Would we want [the govern­ ment] to determine the value of our education?" Whether the changes go through or not, UT will still be evaluated by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools next year. "We will be accredited," said Powers. "It will not be an issue." The process for accreditation, however, is long, tedious and requires a lot of documentation and research, he said. "Frankly, one could ask if it is even worth it to expend all of this effort. However, if we are going to go through it, which we will, we should try and learn as much as possible as we can from it. The accreditation is a good way to evaluate how our school has been performing and changing." ^ o . o - O , W ayne Roche Brad Corbett Carter G o s s Joan Bowerman KVRX91.7FM UT STUDENT RADIO WEEKENDS 7PM-9AM• WEEKDAYS W ire Editor: M ere d ith M argrave w w w .d a ilyte xa n on line .co m N e w s T h e D a i l \ T e x a n 3 Tuesday, June 19, 2007 ORLD— ATI O N G a z a C i t y R o m a n C a t h o l i c c h u r c h d e s t r o y e d Bexar County approves needle exchange program By A m a n d a D e B ard Daily Texan Staff San A ntonio's Bexar County will be the first county in Texas to have a needle exchange program. The pilot program, approved June 13, is designed to stop the spread of communicable diseases, such as HTV / AIDS and Hepatitis B and C, by exchanging one clean needle for every dirty one. Texas is the last state to adopt a program of this kind. "Clean needles are donated by pharmaceutical companies, and few state resources will be used," said State Rep. Solomon Ortiz Jr., D-Corpus Christi. "O u r whole goal here is to get dirty needles off the street." Ortiz filed House Bill 1846, which would have permitted a statewide needle exchange pro­ gram, but it did not pass. This prompted State Rep. Ruth Jones McClendon, D-San Antonio, to author an amendment to Senate Bill 10, a Medicare-related bill. The am endm ent passed and autho­ rized the pilot program in Bexar County Wednesday. Bexar County was chosen as the site for the needle exchange program , because there is enough support within the county, said Jan is R einken, M cC len d o n 's chief of staff. When it d idn't pass at the state level, they had to scale back. "N ext session, we hope to push legislation to expand the program statewide," Ortiz said. "N obody thought it would pass, but the Senate's already shown huge sup­ port." Because the decision was recent­ ly made, details for the location of the exchange, the estimated costs and the number of people the exchange plans to serve remain undetermined. It has not been decided whether non-Bexar resi­ dents will be able to use the pro­ gram, either. Originally people were against the program, because they thought it would encourage drug use, said Bexar County Sheriff Ralph Lopez. "Persons with needles on them nas always been an issue for offi­ cers," Lopez said. "W e have a paranoia when patting down per­ sons, so we have to ask if you have illegal drugs, illegal substances or needles on you." There's a lot of needle exchange between "hom ies," Lopez said, noting that the program is impor­ tant for officer safety. "I nearly cam e into contact with a used needle when I pat­ ted down a person," he said. "I thought I was touching a roll of breath mints or a Tootsie Roll so I asked if there was a needle on this person. He said he had a syringe with no needle." Mean-Eyed Cat up for rezoning By Lindsey M u llikin Daily Texan Staff Chris Marsh opened the Mean- Eyed Cat restaurant in September 2004 at 1621 West Fifth St. to honor the Johnny Cash tune his father played in his house as a child. "For some reason, 'M ean Eyed Cat' was our song. No nursery rhymes. No folk ballads. No Bing Crosby harmonies. Just sweaty rebel country music with attitude and purpose," Marsh wrote on the restaurant's Web site. The Mean-Eyed Cat is now the center of a controversy between the restaurant's supporters and some nearby residents, an issue that the City Council will take up at its meeting this Thursday. Representatives from the Mean- Eyed Cat will ask the City Council to approve rezoning for its exist­ ing site so that the establishment may continue to operate as a bar. The Mean-Eyed Cat operates on a .17-acre property classified by the city as "light industrial," which allows for restaurant but not bar use, said Mike Blizzard, who represents the Mean-Eyed Cat's zoning change before the city. To operate as a restaurant, more than 51 percent of a business' gross income must be generated from food sales, according to city code. The Mean-Eyed Cat aver­ ages 28-percent income in food sales, Blizzard said. T h e Approxim ately 6,000 people have signed a petition supporting the property's rezoning, and more than 100 supporters, including Mayor Will Wynn and Councilman Mike Martinez, showed up for a concert Saturday held in support of the bar, Blizzard said. A u stin O ld West Neighborhood Association fears rezoning the property will set an entertainm ent-district precedent for the community, said Paul Seals, chair of the association's steering committee. Seals said the asso­ ciation would support the Mean- Eyed Cat if it remains a restaurant by city standards. Blizzard said he disagrees. He said the community w on't turn into an entertainm ent district, because bars have called the area home for years and traffic patterns are different. The facility has not produced trash or parking problems for the nearby neighborhood, he said. The new developers building in the area plan to preserve the Mean- Eyed Cat. "You can't say that about m any tow n," Blizzard said. in bars "They have only had one noise complaint in three years, and that was on Johnny Cash's birthday." The neighborhood association is the only group opposing the b ar's case for rezoning, said Tina Bui, case manager for the rezoning. O n June 12, the city's planning commission voted 9-0 in support of the zoning change and recom ­ mended it to the City Council. "It is a small, local, individual business, and we have preserv­ ing local individual businesses as kind of a city-wide priority," said David Sullivan, planning com m is­ sion chair. Sullivan, who lives near the Mean- Eyed Cat, called the bar a "shrine to Johnny Cash" and said the business had experienced no major problems with the community. The new residences being built will only help maintain the b ar's clean record by acting as a "polic­ ing force" on the establishment, Sullivan said. Michele M ikeska, a local art director, said she used to walk to the bar because of its shady outdoor seating and its location relative to Mopac. "H olding on to the Mean-Eyed Cat is really holding on to what makes Austin unique and differ­ ent," she said.

WORLD BRIEFLY U.S. and Iraqi forces launch attacks to clear out insurgents BAGH DAD — U.S. and Iraqi forces launched attacks on the capital's northern and southern flanks to clear out Sunni insurgents, al-Qaida fighters and Shiite militiamen w ho were chased from the capital and Anbar province during the first four months of the Baghdad security operation, military officials said Monday. A top U.S. military official said American forces were taking advan­ tage of the arrival of final brigade of 30,000 addition American forces to open the concerted attacks. "We are going into the areas that have been sanctuaries of al-Qaida and other extremists to take them on and weed them out, to help get the areas clear and to really take on al-Qaida," the senior official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the operation. "Those are areas in the belts around Baghdad, some parts in Anbar province and specifically Diyala province." Abbas tells Bush: Time is ripe for Mideast peace talks Police smash global pedophile ring, rescuing 31 children RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, embold­ ened by an outpouring of interna­ tional support in his showdown with Hamas militants, on M onday told a receptive President Bush that it was time to restart Mideast peace talks. Bush planned to relay their thoughts on how to proceed to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at a meeting in Washington Tuesday, a White House spokesman said. Abbas' Hamas rivals were headed in a vastly different direction, facing deepening isolation after their violent takeover of the Gaza Strip. Abbas expelled Ham as from the Palestinian government last week after the Islamist group routed his forces in Gaza, leaving the president's more moderate Fatah movement in control of the West Bank. Olmert m ade no public statements Monday but Israel has expressed its desire to negotiate with a Palestinian government without Hamas. It remained unclear, however, how much peace talks could accomplish. LONDON — A team of interna­ tional investigators infiltrated an Internet chat room used by pedo­ philes who streamed live videos of children being raped, rescuing 31 children and identifying more than 700 suspects worldwide. Undercover officers in Britain, the U5, Canada and Australia busted the pedophile ring using surveillance techniques commonly associated with fighting terrorism and organized crime. The chat room, which was called "Kids the Light of Our Lives," featured images, including live videos, of chil­ dren being subjected to horrific sexu­ al abuse, said Jim Gamble, chief exec­ utive of Britain's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center. "You could go and if you were in the dub, arrange a time and a place when online you could view a child being raped and brutalized in real timer he said. Police analyzed images and videos traded by the chat room's members for the smallest clues that could help them identify, locate and rescue the victims.

Why wouldn't it be? ^ Tuesday, June 19, 2007 25 years later In memory of Vincent Chin 1955 — 1982 By Sehjong Hamjong Daily Texan Colum nist Today is a solemn day for many across the United States, as it is the 25th anniversary of the hate-crime murder of Vincent Chin. His murder signifies the beginning of the contemporary Asian Pacific American, or APA, civil rights movement. In 1982, 27-year-old Vincent Chin, a Chinese-American draftsman and engineer, got into a confrontation with two white men, Ronald Ebens and his stepson Michael Nitz, at a strip club in Detroit, Mich, where Chin was having his bachelor party. During the early 1980s, the U.S. auto industry in Detroit faced tough competition from Japanese automakers, and many workers were laid off as a result. Mistaking him to be Japanese, Ebens yelled at Chin, "It's because of you little motherfuckers that we're out of work," according to a 2002 article from www.tolerance.org. The verbal confrontation escalated into a physical scuffle between Ebens, Nitz and Chin, taking the fight from throwing punches to grabbing chairs and culminating in the three being kicked out of the club. In the parking lot, Nitz took a Louisville Slugger base­ ball bat out of his car, and Chin told the two men, "I'll fight you guys more if you want, but put the baseball bat down." When Nitz refused, Chin and his friends left. Ebens and Nitz drove around the neighborhood for 30 minutes and finally found Chin at a local McDonalds. Nitz restrained Chin while Ebens swung the baseball bat, crushing in Chin's skull. An off-duty police officer who wit­ nessed the murder said Ebens "swung the bat as if a baseball player was swinging for a homerun. Full contact. Full swing." Chin slipped into a coma and died on June 23, 1982 — 5 days before his wedding. About a year later, Judge Charles Kaufman of Wayne County found Ebens and Nitz guilty of manslaughter. He fined them $3,000 and sentenced them to three years of probation. Neither the prosecution nor Chin's mother were present, and no witnesses were called in to testify. The outrage that ensued from the lax verdict and the handling of the case sparked Asians and Asian-Americans across the U.S. to raise awareness of the issue, garnering attention from civil rights groups, such as the NAACP, and national news and talk show programs. This effort eventually led the FBI to conduct an investigation, and the U.S. Department of Justice eventually filed charges against Ebens and Nitz. Ebens was sentenced to a 25-years in prison, while Nitz was cleared of all wrongdoing. But eventually, Ebens was cleared of all charges through an appeal and another trial. Neither Ebens nor Nitz served any prison time. A civil court ordered Ebens to pay Chin's fam­ ily $1.5 million, but Ebens refused and is still on the run from the law. Chin's case is not confined. Last April in Alabama, an 18-year-old Korean student was assaulted by four white males near his dorm on the Auburn University campus. Police suspected the crime to be motivated by racial bias and backlash, since it occurred three days after the Virginia Tech tragedy, and informed the FBI, which is conducting an investigation. The media and mainstream press tend to overlook hate crimes targeting Asians and Asian-Americans. Crimes against Asians and Asian-Americans are not always reported properly by police as hate crimes, which causes these crimes to be underreported. Legislative and law-enforcement officials need to become aware that these crimes are not isolated incidents, but part of a larger trend and climate in the U.S. related to anti-Asian sentiment and racial bias. The FBI's most recent Uniform Crime Report, released in 2005, lists 8,804 vic­ tims of hate crimes, and 55.7 percent of those were related to racial bias. Of this percentage, 4.9 percent of the victims were listed as Asian/Pacific Islander, and this number doesn't include cases that didn't get reported as a hate crime. There is a stereotype that Asians and Asian-Americans are perpetual foreign­ ers, and some don't distinguish between an individual from his or her ethnicity. Twenty-five years after Chin's death, we must look back as a nation to see if we've progressed. Ham jong is an Asian American studies senior. THE FIRING LINE Urbanski is green with envy In "Dating goes green,” June 18, Jake Urbanski seems to be going green with resentment. Any students wishing to get some optimism about our planet's ecological state would've been disappointed by Mr. Urbanski's back-hand­ ed slap to enviro-friendly citizens. His second and third paragraphs were the only ones worth reading, unless you were looking for a laugh at the expense of ridiculed, responsible beings. The best part about going green is, in fact, saving it! And I'm here to tell you that planet­ conscious individuals do not have to be full-time vegetarians, stinky or cheap or lazy, as Urbanski would have everyone believe. W ho would take their date on the bus when they can bike? Against wearing aluminum-free deodorant? Use the opportunity to take a bath with your date after that long, sweaty bike ride. You'll be saving water. If you aren't vegetarian and don't have moral issues about eating flesh, but do have issues about unsustainable farming practices, then make an early date Saturday, bike to the farmer's market at Fourth and Guadalupe streets. Buy local (beyond-organic) produce, dairy and meat. Then, go home and make lunch together! Urbanski, would you really have us believe that Americans have enough sex to make condoms a major inhabiter of our landfills? If you're that optimistic, here's a secret: Latex condoms are biodegradable. Andrea Mastromatteo Studio art junior Humanize your immigration beliefs In response to "Immigration debate comes to Capitol," June 18: The United States was founded by immigrants, and failure to recognize the economic, cultural and social benefits of immi­ gration in the past, in today's society and in our future growth is dehumanizing. It is dehuman­ izing, because immigrants are not described as equal in ability and intelligence, even though they often have greater work ethics than oth­ ers. It is dehumanizing, because immigrants are described, as the members of the U.S. Border Watch have, using terms with unhuman-like or viral/insect-like terminology, such as "overpopu­ late,""feed off" and "take advantage."These dehu­ manizing anti-immigrant perspectives are racist. Amnesty is not an issue of enforcement, but has always been a human rights issue, not only here but all over the world. I hope this is educational for the "uneducated."

Our private policy of destruction By Colin Pace Daily Texan Columnist If elected in 2008, Hillary Clinton claims she will "strengthen the middle class." If Clinton aspires to do this, she should not allow corporate interests to be involved in shaping her campaign platforms. Yet, Clinton's top campaign contributors — Mark Penn, Howard Wolfson and Terry McAuliffe — all have close ties to powerful corporations and interest groups aimed at influenc­ ing policy. Moreover, Clinton voted for the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, which limited soft money and regulat­ ing election campaign funds, only to raise more money than anyone has so early in an election campaign, reveal­ ing her dependence on big business donations. As of April 16, Clinton raised over $36 million, an unprecedented amount of money, with just over $16 mil­ lion coming from private business­ es. Throughout her senatorial career, Clinton voted for appropriations bills that funneled money directly into the military-industrial complex — money that could have been used to "strength­ en the middle class." Large contributions from corpo­ rations, coupled with the revolving door between government, lobbyists and private industries are undercut­ ting representatives' accountability. A politician must win votes to get elect­ ed, but to win votes they must pay large sums for advertisements and air time. Consequently, the president and Congress are not realistic in deal­ ing with issues. Instead, their poli­ cies focus on repaying donors' invest­ ments. These favorable policies are not hard to find. Throughout his vice presiden­ cy, Dick Cheney, former CEO of Halliburton, has witnessed his previ­ ous employer receive over $10 bil­ lion in Iraq contracts, according to a report released in December 2004 by Democratic Rep. Henry A. Waxman of California. During the 2004 presiden­ tial campaign, Halliburton's board of directors alone gave almost $200,000 to Republican candidates and political action committees. Before being appointed Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Anti-war sentiment fueled the 2006 congressional elections, but the U.S. continues to "liberate" Iraq. No serious regulations have been placed on the energy industry to combat climate change and New Orleans is still waiting for funds to rebuild. Rice served as chief adviser to Chevron. According to the Federal Election Commission, Chevron donat­ ed nearly $500,000 to the 2004 elec­ tion campaigns, 83 percent going to Republicans. In April 2007, Chevron was confirmed as the "event sponsor" of the Iraq Oil, Gas, Petrochemical and Electricity summits held in Dubai, UAE and Amman, Jordan. Influential private groups, staffed by hardliners, lobby for support of expen­ sive and ineffective military expedi­ tions. Corporations then receive large contracts from congressional appro­ priations committees to help "rebuild' the Middle East, a region destroyed in large part as a result of U.S. policy. During his first term, President Bush appointed Peter B. Teets Under Secretary of the Air Force. Until his appointment, Teets served as presi­ dent and chief operations officer of Lockheed Martin, the world's largest arms manufacturer. During the first year of Teets' appointment, the gov­ ernment awarded Lockheed Martin a $200 billion defense contract to pro­ duce the Joint Strike Fighter, the largest defense contract in history. Lockheed Martin may still be making more; the Defense Department's additional "black budget," which funds arma­ ments and nuclear technologies, is kept secret from both Congress and the public. For the 2006 midterm elections, Lockheed Martin gave over $1,700,000 to Congress. During the 2004 presidential cam­ paign, Pfizer and Glaxo-Smith-Kline each donated over $1 million to the national parties. Overall, pharmaceuti­ cal backers gave over $17 million to the political parties. Lobbyists encour­ age the sale of lower quality food and more expensive pharmaceuticals as AIDS, heart disease and cancer kill large percentages of the world's popu­ lation. Many critics claim the FDA pushes drugs too fast into the market, endangering the safety of the consum­ er. Drugs like Vioxx and Prozac help bring in large profits, yet meet resis­ tance from numerous lawsuits from patients who are negatively affected by the drugs. If politicians can only win elections by accepting donations from interest groups, national policy will continue to reflect the competition between commercial agendas. Voter turn­ out reflects this disconnect between individual citizens and the political process. According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, 47 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds voted in the 2004 presidential election, compared to the 66 percent of citizens 25 and older who voted. Voters likely feel alienated from the system and powerless from taking on crucial issues. Representatives are not listening to the public. Anti-war sentiment fueled the 2006 congressional elections, but the U.S. continues to "liberate" Iraq and Afghanistan. No serious regula­ tions have been placed on the energy industry to combat climate change and New Orleans is still waiting for funds to help rebuild. There are individual politicians who tackle these issues, but the majority of Congress Ls more con­ cerned with donors' profits than mak­ ing tangible progress. Advocates who demand a change in the way campaigns are funded believe Congress has the ability to produce policies that reflect the public's will, not the will of large donors. Emboldening the continued struggle for campaign finance reform will make the president accountable to the people and oblige politicians to face issues citizens find important. Building the reform movement will empower voters and raise representa­ tion at the polls, turning the U.S. into the republic it should be — and Hillary Clinton may even be able to strengthen the middle class.

Off the beaten path By Salil Puri Daily Texan Columnist As the laziness of summer creeps in, students all over the country get restless, stricken with an insatiable wanderlust. So they pack up their cars with duffel bags and friends and head home, out to the beach or to a distant campground. Unfortunately, far too often we sac­ rifice the art of the road trip for the function, simply looking to get from point A to point B as quickly as pos­ sible. That's not what road trips are really about. The old-fashioned road trip relegates points A, B and C to simple changes of scenery along the way. The road itself is the destination. I am an aficionado of the open road. So when an old friend of mine asked me if I wanted to hop in his old Jeep Wrangler and take it out west to his new home in San Francisco, I grabbed my gear and climbed aboard. We snaked through Comanche ter­ ritory, heading towards the Grand Canyon. We trekked along slowly at 55 mph — not only because of fuel efficiency, but because 80 mph would have blurred the landscape. At 55 mph, one has time to think. I've driven Interstate 10 coast to coast, along the eastern seaboard to Manhattan. I've toured with rock bands on buses and vans, but it wasn't until this past week that I realized that "Go west, young man, and grow up with the country" isn't just a nostalgic sentiment; it's a maxim of epic propor­ tion. On the back roads, and in the small towns, we can find the heart and soul Bounding off boulders, scrambling over the side of the Grand Canyon and hanging precariously from cliff-dwelling trees makes it easy to realize how small we truly are and how great were the men who came before us. of this country and fall in love with her all over again. It's in midnight's blackness that a tiny diner that hasn't changed since 1954 could provide shelter from a freezing cold summer thunderstorm that angrily pelted me with hail. There, in the middle of the New Mexico des­ ert, I ate an awful bowl of chili because it was warm, and I was drying from the rain. I was happy to be there, and even happier that the sweet old lady serv­ ing me the terrible food was there, at an ungodly hour, delighted to have made $18 in tips so far that night. And so I tipped well. Bounding off boulders, scrambling over the side of the Grand Canyon and hanging precariously from cliff- dwelling trees makes it easy to realize how small we truly are, and how great were the men who came before us. Undaunted, the Apache and Navajo made this sacred land their home, and when faced with the insurmount­ able task of forging ahead, American explorers descended into the Canyon's gaping maw, and emerged anew on the far rim. At the Grand Canyon, native-born residents and foreign tourists alike braved scorching temperatures and the sizzling summer sun to marvel not only at the work of mother nature, but at the man-made wonders of America's children. The historic Rou te 66 cut to the quick, laying bare the inequity between wonderful towns like Flagstaff and the Hualapai town of Peach Springs. In Flagstaff, road-weary travelers mingle with tattooed students in the hip-and-haunted Monte Vista hotel cocktail lounge — drinking, fight­ ing and loving. In the ghost town of Peach Springs, 66 became a shadow of its former self, and abandoned roadside Indian trading posts along­ side rusted trailers betrayed no sign of revelry. Cars zipped by in ignorant bliss on the adjacent Interstate 40, while 66 meandered tirelessly towards the glitz and glamour of Hollywood — naked, honest and heartbreaking. Don't rush to get to your desti­ nation on this summer's road trip. Explore the old highways. Roll down the windows and drive through the Mojave with the top down. Get lost on Pacific Highway No. 1, driving up to Kerouac's Big Sur and Steinbeck's Cannery Row. Don't eat at McDonalds or stay in the Best Western. Instead, take the risk of eating at the ram­ shackle steak house and staying at the family motel on the side of the road. Talk to your hosts along the way. Learn from them. Slow down. Don't channel surf your way across this great country.

Norton, a four-time AFL All-Star safety and an original member of the Houston Oilers, died June 12 in Garland, a Dallas suburb. A cause of death was not given. Associated Press k . T h e D a i l y T e x a n Tuesday, June 19, 2007 AFL legend dies at age of 68 By The Associated Press HOUSTON — Jim Norton, a four-time AFL All-Star safety and an original member of the Houston Oilers, has died. He was 68. Norton died June 12 in Garland, a Dallas suburb, according to an obituary released by the Gonzalez Funeral Home. A cause of death was not given. Bom in Los Angeles, Norton was a three-sport athlete at Fullerton Union High School. He played football for four seasons at Idaho before he was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 1960. He never played for the Lions, instead join­ ing the Houston Oilers that same year, when they won the first AFL championship. Norton retired in 1969 after playing nine seasons with the Oilers, and he remains the fran­ chise leader with 45 interceptions. He also punted for the Oilers, and his 519 career punts were a fran­ chise record until Craig Hentrich passed it in 2004. '"Jim was one of the great origin'll Oilers and a major factor in the early success of our franchise," owner Bud Adams said. "He was well-respected as a player and as a person." Norton's No. 43 is one of six jersey numbers retired by the franchise, a group that includes Elvin Bethea, Earl Campbell, Mike Munchak, Bruce Matthews and Warren Moon. "It was a fitting tribute that his jersey No. 43 was the first to be retired by the club," said Adams, who moved the franchise to Nashville, Tenn., in 1997. "Our thoughts are with his family in their time of grief." Norton is survived by his wife, Ginny; a brother, John Norton; a sister, Janet Cooke; three sons and two daughters. A memorial service was sched­ uled for June 29 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Richardson, Texas.

Blatter met with the local orga­ nizing committee — led by Danny Jordaan — and Confederation of African Football president Issa Hayatou, who has been appointed by FIFA to monitor preparations, before declaring that Africa would be ready to host its first quadren­ nial soccer showcase. "Nothing, nothing can now be against this World Cup here in South Africa, nothing but God," Blatter said. "But we are asking the blessing of the Lord, we are asking the blessing of the whole football family that finally Africa can stage a World Cup." Flanked by the leaders of the committee and the CAF, Blatter said that stadium construction was "generally on track." "South Africa will deliver the best World Cup in the history (of the tournament). It will not be the same as Germany, Japan or Korea, but will be the best ever because it will be the African World Cup," said Blatter at Soccer City, which is expanding to a 95,000-seat sta­ dium for the opening match and final. South Africa won the rights to host the 2010 World Cup three years ago. But since then it has been dogged by worries about delays in stadium and infrastruc­ ture construction, lack of public transport, and the high crime rate. Blatter voiced concerns last year about the slow start to stadium construction and renovation, but work has started and organizers claim to be ahead of schedule. the The government is also over­ hauling transport system, while the country's main airports currently resemble building sites as their terminal and parking facil­ ities are expanded. The government plans to recruit thousands of extra police officers to combat violent crime, and is also confident that there will be enough accommodation for the 350,000 fans expected to attend the event. On Monday, FIFA announced there will be an exhibition game in Cape Town this July 18 between a world all-star team and an African all-star team to celebrate the 89th birthday of former South African President Nelson Mandela.

Fullerton eliminated from College World Series after 5-4 loss By Eric Olson The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — Longtime friends Dave Serrano and George Horton shared an embrace moments after UC Irvine had beaten Cal State longest Fullerton 5-4 in the game in College World Series history Monday. The two coaches just as easily could have collapsed together in exhaustion after a tense elimi­ nation game between Serrano's upstart Anteaters and his men­ tor's toumament-tested Titans. "I told him I loved him and thanks for everything," Serrano said. "He said, 'I'm proud of you. Continue to move on and win this thing.'" Bryan Petersen's run-scoring single to center field in the bot­ tom of the 13th inning ended the 5 hour, 40 minute affair and sent the Titans home after two games for the first time in nine CWS appearances since 1990. Meanwhile, the Anteaters (46-16-1) play on in their first trip to Omaha, meeting Arizona State on Tuesday. Fullerton (38- 25) was knocked out after losing for the third time in four games with the Anteaters this season. The 97th meeting of the neighborhood rivals came more than 1,500 miles away from their Orange County campuses, on the game's biggest stage. It was emotional on a number of fronts. Serrano pitched for Horton at Cerritos College and later served under him there as pitch­ ing coach. Serrano later coached under Horton at Fullerton before taking the UC Irvine head coaching job in 2004. "The bad news is I had to say goodbye to my mentor, coach, friend, my second father, a guy I love a lot," Serrano said. "That's the toughest part about it, seeing his team eliminated. I wish our win hadn't been at their expense, but we went into this knowing one of us would be happy and one of us would be sad." The time of the game beat the old CWS mark for longest game — set in 1981 by Oklahoma State and Arizona State — by 40 minutes. Tension ran high, with a CWS record eight batters getting hit by pitches. Despite committing a sea­ son-high six errors, UC Irvine came back three times to tie the Titans before overtaking them in a tense 13th inning that had Horton ejected for arguing a hit batsman call. Petersen's winning hit came after Fullerton left fielder Josh Fellhauer had thrown out Taylor Holiday at home plate. Holiday appeared to lean into a Bryan Harris pitch leading off the bottom of the 13th and was awarded first base by home-plate umpire David Buck. A steamed Horton argued and was tossed after Holiday was hit by a pitch for a third time in the game. "It wasn't about him not mov­ ing," Horton said. "He stuck his arm out." Holiday tried to score from second on Matt Morris' single. in, Fellhauer came charging UC Irvine's Ben Orloff, right, and Taylor Holiday mob Bryan Petersen, unseen, who singled against Cal State Fullerton in the 13th inning to allow Cody Cipriano to score the winning run to eliminate Fullerton. Ted Kirk | Associated Press picked up the ball and threw it on a line to catcher John Curtis, who blocked the plate and eas­ ily put the tag on Holiday. Petersen followed with his hit to center, which scored Cody Cipriano from third. After Petersen touched first base, his teammates rushed out of the dugout and mobbed him in a dogpile. Petersen also was the batter who doubled in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth in UC Irvine's 3-2 super regional-clinching victory over Wichita State on June 10. "That hit helped me a lot today," Petersen said. "I was more nervous before I hit in Wichita than I was here. I knew I had done it before. This is a big time of year, and I'm just trying to enjoy it." Dylan Axelrod (6-4) pitched four 2-3 innings of relief to get the win, allowing only one hit. ‘Pacman’ sought out by police after another shooting By Don Schanche Jr. The Associated Press ATLANTA — Suspended NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones was being sought by police for questioning about a shooting early Monday involving mem­ bers of his entourage after a fight at an Atlanta strip club. The Tennessee Titans comer- back is currently on suspension following a melee and shooting at a Las Vegas strip club. Jones, his group and three other people got into a fight, apparently over a woman, at a club around 4 a.m., officer Ariel Toledo said. After everyone involved left the strip club — the three peo­ ple in one car, and Jones and his entourage in three other cars — someone in Jones' group shot at the car, and the others returned fire, Toledo said. Toledo said Jones was not pres­ by phone or even by e-mail. ent when the shots were fired. "We believe he knows some of his entourage who were involved in the shooting," Toledo said. "On himself, we do not have any charges on him. He wasn't there when the shooting occurred." One person who was outside the vehicles and not involved in the dispute was injured by debris in the shooting and was treated by emergency medical techni­ cians, Toledo said. Manny Arora, Jones' attorney, said he expects Jones will give the police whatever help he can. "I've got to sit down with him and sit down with the police and figure out what we're looking at or if in fact he can even help them," Arora said. "Once we agree to do that, I will do it very privately and we'll take care of it." He said that may be in person, "Adam was not involved, they'll tell you, in the shooting," Arora said. "His car wasn't there or anywhere near the scene. They simply are just asking him ... much like any other witness, if anything happened inside that might help them figure out who was involved." Authorities have also been investigating what role Jones had in a February shooting outside a Las Vegas club that left a bar employee paralyzed and two other people wounded. Attorney Robert Langford said no evidence tied Jones to the shooting, but an aide to Clark County District Attorney David Roger said it could take several days to decide if there is enough information to file charges against Jones and two friends.

The album's title is derived from the Lancashire colloquialism, "by ecky-thump\!‘ meaning "what the hell." Few songs on Icky Thump will make you proclaim "ecky-thump!": It's a typical White Stripes album (read: excellent) that features Jack's characteristic guitar tuning, Meg's improved drumwork and the duo's goofy chemistry. But Jack White always needs a new gimmick, so he decided to include bagpipes on the album. It's an odd choice, but in the same way he makes keyboards sound like guitars, he makes the bagpipe sound like a guitar, too. Since the White Stripes are perhaps the second most agreed-upon band in our generation, the music staff at the Texan has decided to roll out the red and white carpet and give Icky a track- by-track breakdown. this track. It features more conven­ tional structures and would have fit in nicely with Jack White's work with Loretta Lynn. — JR 3. "300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues" This isn't the blues like the Stripes' "Stop Breaking Down" or "Ball and Biscuit." No, this track more closely resembles Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" or "Stuck Inside of Mobile (With the Memphis Blues Again)." Building from slow and acoustic to slow and electric, "Outpour Blues" makes me miss the old White Stripes ballads that weren't quite so ambitious. — Zach Ernst 4. "Conquest" An entirely unexpected Patti Page cover, the surprisingly-epic-at-three- minutes "Conquest" recounts a sordid story of tangled sexual conquests. The vocals are appropriately overwrought and operatic for such a seedy tale, and the fanfares are paired with a trumpeter for a faux-mariachi sound. A gritty tune perfectly suited for a story that might be scrawled on a stall in a dilapidated motel bathroom. Contemporary gallery showcases wide range of emerging talent Naomi Rougeau Daiiy Texan Staff Currently on view at Arthouse is the 22nd "New American Talent" exhibition. Curated by Anne Ellegood of the Hirshhom Museum & Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., the incredibly well-ranged exhibit features a selection of works from 45 artists, a third of which live and work in Texas, in a variety of mediums. series, Chicago-based Brad Farwell's striking "An African Mask Looks at Sites of American Blackness," is a study on the limita­ tions of the photographic image in reality construction Limiting visu­ al experience, the artist masques images of the New Orleans Superdome and the respective scenes of the O.J. Simpson car chase and Rodney King beating, prompting the viewer to make a judgment as to what lies beyond the shadowed facade. Equally eye-catching was an installation titled "In the Rain" by Wonjung Choi of New York. Choi brought the precipitation indoors by working primarily in hot glue and clear fishing line. The result­ ing environment provides an ephemeral experience, projecting a sense of weightlessness. Among the participating art­ ists are a number of University of Texas alumni and faculty. Drawing inspiration from her childhood, UT College of Fine Arts alumna and native Austinite Candace Briceño creates colorful sculptures rendered in hand-dyed felt. With her clever approach to one of the oldest forms of artistic represen­ tation, Briceño's whimsical work presents a fresh perspective on traditional landscapes. Continuing through Aug. 19, “New American Talent" will offer a pub­ lic conversation with curator Anne Ellegood on July 26 and "Arthouse Family Day" on July 22. Arthouse at the Jones Center is located at 700 Congress Ave. (512)453-5312. w ww . arthousetexas.org. Admission is free to the public. 7. "St. Andrew (This Battle Is in — PC the Air)" — J. Ridewood 5. "Bone Broke" 1. "Icky Thump" Jack and Meg clearly have the utmost confidence in "Icky Thump:'' A band must, to make a single song its title track, album opener and first single. That trust is warranted, as "Icky Thump" distills the entire album's virtues and quirks into a potent, four- minute shot of grimy garage blues. Sharp, stabbing riffs in their contin­ ued tradition of Zeppelin homages alternate with tortured organ solos and even a dash of left-wing politics. Sludgy and thrilling, "Icky Thump" is an ideal album opener in the tradition of "Seven Nation Army" before it. — Patrick Caldwell 2. "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told)" "Icky Thump"is an excellent first choice for a single, but it's still a pretty weird song to be heard on the radio. The less-edgy pick would have been You may initially think you have stumbled upon some alternate take of "Black Betty," but Jack's vocals remind us why we love the Stripes. Th'e fast- paced tempo throttles down on a few occasions to achieve some more melodic moments before speeding off again. It's difficult not to like a song with poetic lyrics like, "They got a white pony in the stable, and ride him when the doggie isn't able." Here's Jack's "weird for the sake of being weird" song. Is that Meg speak­ ing? Is there something wrong with the bagpipe? Why is this song on the album? My guess is that he paid the bagpipe player for a full day's work and they finished "Prickly Thorn" ahead of schedule. "Hey man, can you keep blowing that thing? We're just going to roll tape." — ZE — Joe Hildebrand 8. "Little Cream Soda" 6. "Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn" Hey Jack, Led Zeppelin III called, and it wants its guitar parts back. This song sounds like the twang of "Battle of Evermore" and ’Tangerine" crossed with a traditional Celtic folk song. It's a good thing Jack rips off Zeppelin even better than Zeppelin ripped off old blues musicians. — JR After the last two songs, I forgot that the White Stripes could rock. And they do on "Little Cream Soda," the heaviest song on any White Stripes album ever. Metal guitar riffs bring to mind Jack’s live feroc­ ity with the Raconteurs. Meg hangs in there, but this song transcends the rest of the Stripes' catalog of gutbucket blues stomps. Of all the experiments on the last two albums (marimbas, bagpipes, etc.), this is the one I'd like to hear more of from Jack and Meg next time around. — ZE 9. "Rag And Bone" This blues number is a close approximation to the White Stripes live experience, with Jack doing his best George Thorogood impressio. In between choruses, he and Meg riff about their trip to a garage sale and how willing they are to take "it" home. Like the contents of the mys­ terious briefcase in "Pulp Fiction", the particular "it" Jack and Meg want to take home is never revealed. The safe bet is on the broken trumpet or tele­ phone Jack references at the begin­ ning of the song, but it sounds like it could be a young, meager puppy (hence the title, "Rag and Bone," and the "dog house" mention). If I'm right, then this is the absolute best song about buying a puppy on a whim ever. 10. T m Slowly Turning Into You" Track ten gets my vote for coolest track on the album. Following a simple rhythmic pattern of Transylvanian organ pipes, electric distortion, and pounding percussion, the song leaves you bobbing your head. Lyrically, Jack first laments and then applauds "turn­ ing into you."Throw in some sublimi­ nal chanting, you have the making of an instant White Stripes classic. — JH 11. "A Martyr For My Love For You" People tend to forget that Jack is capable of writing straightforward love songs pretty well (see "I Want to Be the Boy...,'"'The Denial Twist"). With a title that sounds like it belongs on the new Taking Back Sunday record, "Martyr" echoes the sentiments of Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe." A throwback to Elephant, this track is the proper prelude to the total heaviosity that is coming up next. 12. "Catch Hell Blues" "Catch Hell Blues" is a heavy slide guitar romp accompanied by the simple but always effective drumming of Meg White. The song mostly teeters along the boundary of heavy metal. More impressive than this interesting combination, however, Jack has man­ aged to scare the shit out of me with his mad slide guitar skills. Is this the music of the devil? If so, catching hell might not be so bad after all. — JH 13. "Cause and Effect" A startlingly sparse recording in com­ parison to the grunge-wall-of-sound style of the rest of the album, "Cause and Effect" pairs Meg White's most simplistic drumming with a poppy Jack White vocal and slight acoustic strum­ ming. It's an ideal chaser for the rest of the record, a palate-cleansing ballad suited for a hot afternoon with a rock­ ing chair and a beer. After ten years, the White Stripes still know how to bring it back to the basics. — JR — ZE — PC Art exhibit serves up fresh perspective Also in stores... • Art Brut It's a Bit Complicated Downtown Playful, high concept and wry indie rock muscled out the way only a band named after French painter Jean Debuffet's defini­ tion of outsider art can deliver.

The Aggies were invited to atten d , served the side th ey had branded, and were presen ted w ith the hide, w hich still read “ 13 - 0.” W hy did Ben Dyer dub the longhorn Bevo, instead of a n o th ­ er name? For some tim e, the m ost p opular theory has been that it was borrow ed from the label o f a new soft drink. “Bevo was the nam e o f a non-alco­ holic “near beer” produced by the A nheuser-B usch brew ery June 19-June 22,2007 in Saint Louis. O ver 50 m il­ lion cases were sold annually in fifty countries. But, as it turns out, the Bevo beverage was alm ost unknow n in A ustin w hen Stephen Pinckney presented his orange longhorn to University students. Bevo the beverage just m ight be a red herring. A suggestion m ade by D an Z abcik (BA prove 1993) m ay to be the right one. T h ro u g h the 1900s an d 1910s, n ew spa­ pers ran a series of com ic strips draw n by G us M ager.

In ad d itio n , the term “beeve” is the plural o f beef, but is m ore com m only used as a slang term for a cow (or steer) th a t is des­ tin e d to becom e food. The term is still used, th o u g h it was m ore com m on am o n g the general public in the 1910s w hen Texas was m ore rural.
