Stadium ‘heaven’ to new residents After days in squalor, people find solace in order, cleanliness By Marjon Rostami Daily Texan Staff HOUSTON — Eating maca­ roni and meatballs with a slice of white bread, Desiree Singleton, a Hurricane Katrina evacu­ ee, stopped between bites and recalled the hellish conditions she said she experienced at the Superdome. For the first time, someone was listening to what she was saying instead of pushing her away like she said the guards did during her four days at New Orleans' massive temporary hur­ ricane shelter. She called the air-conditioned and orderly Astrodome "heaven" — the tight security a drastic con­ trast from the pandemonium in the Superdome. Refugees' memo­ ries of the New Orleans shelter are dominated by stories of rape, gunshots and robbery. About 500 Houston law enforce­ ment officials roamed the grounds of the Astrodome in three shifts. Officials reported on Saturday that only six minor arrests involv­ ing evacuees had occured the night before in the entire city of Houston, and no major on-site incidents were reported. The Astrodome met its capacity Thursday night of 12,000 evacu­ ees, but as of Friday night totals neared 15,000, while more waited on incoming buses for a place to sleep. As of Monday night, 17.500 people were there. They just wanted a shower and a clean change of clothes. Many of those who arrived from the Superdome could not believe they were eating complete meals and drinking more than one bottle of water. Singleton, who arrived Friday afternoon, said she had not eaten in three days. She gave what was edible of her food to her four Astrodome continues on page 8A i \ * y ^ Rob Stron g | D a ily Texan Staff Austinites aid influx of storm victims to feed, clothe, house thousands Volunteers open city's doors By A d rien n e Lee Daily Texan Staff Austin city officials and volunteers have been working around the clock to ensure Hurricane Katrina's evacuees are provided relief with short­ term necessities such as food and clothing to long term assistance like job security. Austin had 3,233 evacuees sheltered at the Austin Convention Center, the Palmer Events Center and area hospitals as of press time Monday. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport received the "last large influx" of 225 evacuees Sunday morning, according to Warren Hassinger, the city's Emergency Medical Services spokesman. The group traveled to safety on a C-17 military transport aircraft and marked the 28th flight landing in Austin. Hassinger said that the city has "adapted very well" to the hurricane's destruction, with no major issues or problems occurring in Austin.

The University began mak­ ing class and housing arrange­ ments to accommodate college students displaced by Hurricane Katrina after dozens of Louisiana schools, including colleges and universities, were forced to close due to damage. Study lounges in campus residence halls have been converted into bedrooms for up to three Tulane students per room. "San Jac is full of Tulane stu­ dents," said Brittney Cochran, a public relations sophomore and RA in San Jacinto Residence Hall, who estimated about 30 displaced students were currently housed there in converted study lounges. "Everywhere we can put them, they're there." Cochran said she's interacted with several newly-admitted stu­ dents since they've arrived.

Saddam Hussein's law­ yers complained they will not have enough time to prepare for his trial, which the governm ent officially set for Oct. 19. The assault in Baghdad lasted only about 10 minutes, police Maj. Falah al-Hamdani said. Five police­ m en were wounded. Insurgent fre­ quently attack Iraqi security forces, but brazen daytime strikes in the capital against heavily defended targets such as the Interior Ministry are rare. The guerrillas, w ho used rocket propelled grenades and automatic weapons, withdrew after the short clash. It was not clear whether they suffered any casualties. _ _ NATION BRIEF President heading back to Gulf Coast to see aftermath W ASHINGTON — Since two days after Hurricane Katrina lashed m uch of the Gulf Coast into obliv­ ion, President Bush hasn't gon e a day without a public event devoted to the storm. M onday was no different, as he planned a return to the storm- ravaged region for a third look at Katrina's effect with visits to Baton Rouge, La., and Poplarville, Miss. But none of it — including a stream of Cabinet secretaries and other high-level federal officials to the area and on the airwaves Sunday — has quieted the com ­ plaints that W ashington moved too slowly in the storm's aftermath. Bush's itinerary Monday, which replaces a planned Labor Day speech in Maryland, was taking him a little farther afield of the center of the storm's fury than his trip on Friday. The president also saw hurricane dam age last Wednesday during a flyover of the coast from aboard Air Force One. Compiled from Associated Press reports o r l d & N T h e D a i l y T e x a n 3/ Tuesday, S e p te m b e r 6, 2u Bush nominates Roberts for chief justic By Jennifer Loven The A ssociated Press WASHINGTON — President Bush on Monday nominated John Roberts to succeed William H. Rehnquist as chief justice and called on the Senate to confirm him before the Supreme Court opens its fall term on Oct. 3. Just 50 years old, Roberts could shape the court for decades to come. The Senate is expected to begin his confirmation hearings as chief justice either Thursday or next Monday. The opening of Roberts' previously scheduled confirma­ tion hearings, for the position of associate justice, initially was to be Tuesday, but that was canceled until after Rehnquist's funeral on Wednesday. The swift move would pro­ mote to the Supreme Court's top job a newcomer who currently is being considered as one of eight associate justices. It would also ensure a full nine-member court, because retiring Justice Sandra Day O 'Connor has said she will remain on the job until her replacement is confirmed. "I am honored and humbled by the confidence the president has shown in me," Roberts said, stand­ ing alongside Bush in the Oval Office. "I am very much aware that if I am confirmed I would suc­ ceed a man I deeply respect and admire, a man who has been very kind to me for 25 years." "The president has made an excellent choice," Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn. said Monday. "Mr. Roberts is one of the most well qualified candidates to come before the Senate. He will be an excellent chief." "Now that the president has said he will nominate Judge Roberts as chief justice, the stakes are higher and the Senate's advice and consent responsibility is even im portant," Democratic more leader Harry Reid said Monday in a statement. "The Senate must be vigilant." The president met with Roberts in the private residence of the White House for about 35 to 40 minutes on Sunday evening, then officially offered him the job at 7:15 a.m. Monday when Roberts arrived at the Oval Office. "This had been something that had been in the president's thinking for some time — in case the chief justice retired or that there otherwise was a vacancy," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. The White House is not opposed to a delay in Roberts' confirmation hearings as long as senators vote on the confirmation before the court session begins on the first Monday of October. Bush already had nominated Roberts to take O'Connor's place. It requires just a little paper shuffling to change the nomination for Rehnquist's seat. Liberal groups have expressed opposition to Roberts because of his conservative writings as an attorney for the Reagan adm in­ istration and his rulings as an appeals court judge. However, it does not appear that his oppo­ nents have enough votes to block Roberts' confirmation. Pablo Martinez | A sso cia te ' M e m b e rs o f the N ational C lergy C oun cil a nd other pro-life su p p o rte rs j h a n d s as th e y pray togethe r in front to the S u p re m e C o u rt o n M on ;¡ President B u sh n o m ina te d J o h n Roberts to succed W illiam H. R e h n q u b chief justice o f the Su p re m e Court. That alone might have been impetus for Bush to rename Roberts for chief justice. Bush, with low standing in the polls, might not have the political capital he would need to win a Senate battle over a conservative ideologue who w< draw intense opposition. Rehnquist, 80 at his death, set on the Supreme Court for 33 y< and was its leader for 19 years, died Saturday at his home. Jet crashes in Indonesian city, at least 147 dea By Irwan Firdaus The A ssociated Press MEDAN, Indonesia — Seconds after takeoff, an Indonesian air­ liner shook violently, veered to the left and slammed into a bustling neighborhood Monday, bursting into flames and killing at least 147 people — many on the ground. Up to 16 passengers survived the crash, including an 18-month- old shielded by his m other's arms. The Mandala Airlines plane went down 500 yards from the Medan airport in north Sumatra, shoving aside cars and motorcy­ cles before plowing into a row of houses. Witnesses said some people were on fire as they fled the shattered wreckage. to Investigators were trying determine what caused the crash, Indonesia's second air disaster in nine months and the sixth world­ wide since Aug. 1. Authorities considered foul play unlikely, but were examining the possibility of hum an error or technical failure, said airline managing director Asril Tanjung. Thousands of people, some standing on rooftops and buses, watched as firefighters struggled in a light drizzle to put out a fire that sent up thick clouds of black smoke. Several houses and doz­ ens of cars and motorcycles were engulfed in flames. Survivors said the Jakarta- bound Boeing 737-200 started shaking when it reached an alti­ tude of about 100 yards before tilting sharply and smashing to the ground at 9:40 a.m. Some described a loud bang while the plane was still in flight, followed by a ball of fire. "It happened very fast, no one even had time to panic," Rohadi Kamsah Sitepu, 35, told The Associated Press from his hospital bed. "There was an explosion out­ side the plane, followed by huge flames inside the cabin. Then we crashed." One passenger, Rohadi Sitepu, said all the survivors were seated at the back of the plane. Hundreds of policemen, para­ medics and residents evacuated victims, but Syahrial Anas, a doc­ tor overseeing the removal of charred bodies, said flames and the thousands of onlookers at the crash site hampered their efforts. "I saw at least 20 people run­ ning around with their clothes on fire," said Awi, a shop owner. "They were shrieking in agony and shouting 'Help! Help!"' Monday's crash follows major airline accidents in Aug the deadliest month for pi disasters since May 2002. President Susilo Bamb< Yudhoyono ordered an invest tion into the crash, his spokesii said. Among those killed wa governor of North Sumatra \ n ince, en route to the capital fi meeting with the president. The plane was nearly 25 y old and received its last com] hensive service in June, the line said. It had flown more t 50,000 hours and was slab retirement in 2016.

Lai Our disposable culture 4A Tuesday, Septem ber 6, 2005 OPEN LETTER Like many of you, only weeks ago I was wrapping up my summer job and getting ready to go back to school. As I sit up here in Michigan, the scenes on television seem almost surreal. I hesitate to believe that the city I have grown to love over the past two years is in such a dev­ astated state. I want to think that it's a dream, but I cannot. Many of my fellow Emergency Medical Technicians from Tulane EMS are down there, helping to evacuate hospitals. On the rare occa­ sions when their cell phones work, I am met with the grim tone that I have come to expect. So 1 ask myself: Can I really just sit here and do nothing? I cannot. Three of my friends and I have been working 18-hour days since the hurricane hit, setting up a unique non-profit hurricane relief effort called NOLA Hurricane Fund. Its focus is on students, particularly those of New Orleans, working together to rebuild their home. All of us feel extremely passionate about this cause, and though colleges around the country have opened their doors to our student body, we have each decided that we cannot leave the city and its residents to fend for themselves. We are taking off the next semester (or year, depending) in order to focus solely on the relief and rebuild­ ing process. We are an official non-profit organization operating under Cactus, Tulane's service program which has been in existence for over 30 years. We have already raised thousands of dollars, and we are dedicated to our city for many years to come. Eventually, the Red Cross workers will leave. Tulane will still be there with a committed student body, giving themselves to their community. This issue is very personal to me. Yesterday, I could say that I haven't cried in a long, long time. I can no longer make that state­ ment. We, as college students, simply cannot stand idly by as many suf­ fer so acutely. If you believe in the power of young people making a substantial difference in this world, then we need your help. Please spread the word about our Web site and help support students working together to rebuild New Orleans. Visit ivzvw. NOLAhurricanefiind.org for more information. Sickened over slow response By Joshua Huck Daily Texan Columnist We came to this particular restaurant tonight because we know Jenn, one of the waitress­ es. In addition to a couple of pints, we're privy to a few extras: Joking around with her when she's not paying attention to other customers and scavenging the free burger no one claimed. It feels good to cut loose a lit­ tle before the semester kicks into high gear and these moments become less frequent. At some point though, the television on the raised plat­ form in the com er catches my attention. Tonight, hundreds of thousands of people are strug­ gling to reassemble their lives, find food, get potable water or simply locate a bathroom. I don't have a TV at my house, and rely mainly on newspapers and radio for my news. As a result, I am particularly suscep­ tible to the glowing box. At this moment, having been drawn into the drama of moving pic­ tures, I'm beginning to realize the scope of this disaster I'd only read about. After spending the last four years in the shadow of the threat of terrorism, our nation is suddenly accosted by an even more dangerous foe with no agenda: Completely unfeeling, predictable yet maddeningly uncontrollable and catastrophi­ cally destructive. News of our nation and the world has been pretty gloomy of late, and perhaps because of this, Katrina gets me right in the kidneys. Feeling helpless, I think of anything I can do for the relief efforts. The phone number for the Red Cross appears on the screen, and my buddies and I scrape together some cash and call it in on a credit card. We're just a handful of stereotypically poor college students, but at least it's something. The talking heads on this particular news channel are familiar. Senator (and aspiring Republican presidential can­ didate) Bill Frist inexplicably appears to give his two cents. The titles at the bottom of the screen note that he is a "practic­ ing physician," attempting to justify his presence. I don't see why a political opportunist from Tennessee deserves face time over, say, a doctor actually on the ground in the disaster area. After Frist's vacuous pan­ dering, the CEO of Wal-Mart comes on to pat himself and his company on the back in front of a national audience for a $15 million donation to the relief efforts. It's a great PR for a company struggling to improve its image. I thought back to articles I read last week about White House budget cuts to the Army Corps of Engineers' proposed levee rebuilding projects over the past few years. No matter what one's politi­ cal colors are, one must wonder why we can't afford to protect our own citizens in danger­ ous areas. A tiny fraction of the money we spend in Iraq in just one week could have been used to complete countless projects that were ignored or squashed because of lack of funding and White House foresight. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has assured us, however, that flood prepared­ ness has always been a top prior­ ity to the Bush administration. So after bidding my friends surveyed goodbye, having the actions of our elected offi­ cials and found them lacking, I return home an uneasy citi­ zen. Seven days and counting since the storm ravaged our neighbors, our infrastructure has been exposed as woefully unprepared. As New Orleans and sur­ rounding areas remain a stag­ nant, swamp sew age-filled this evening, I wonder if we couldn't have found better ways to spend our nation's money to prevent threats that actually materialize.

If you're interested, please come to the Texan office at 25th Street and Whitis Avenue to complete an application form and sign up for an interview time. If you have any additional questions, please contact AJ. Bauer at 512.232.2212. EDITOR'S NOTE Aaron Rubens Tulane University junior New Orleans, LA Top: An office chair rests on a cushionless couch near the Cornerstone Apartments in West Campus. Every mid-August, w hen yearly leases expire and apartments g o in transition, dum psters around campus become epicenters of unwanted furniture. Right: Mattresses and carpeting flank discarded toilets (out of frame) in the alley of San Gabriel Place. While som e of the decent furniture left on the street is salvaged, most still gets shipped off as garbage. Mingling with to-go cups, hamburger wrappers and exhausted batteries, the August dum ping has become another example of our disposable society. Especially difficult to confront is the fact that thousands of families along the Gulf Coast have nothing left while decent furniture lies in waste. Bottom Left: The remains of a futon, patio table and several sofas make a pile behind the Valencia unit in West Campus. D u m p & Run Inc. is a non-profit organization started in 2000 that seeks to help universities organize cam pus-wide garage sales for discarded items. O hio State University will hold such a sale on Sept. 20, and Cornell University brought in over $25,000 to Ithaca-area charities on Aug. 21. Bottom Right: A trail of trash litters the lawn of the Orange Tree Condom inium s. This year, the Cam pus Environmental Center held its first Trash to Treasure garage sale from Aug. 27-28. The event brought in close to $5,800 for the Student G overnm ent recycling program. Photos and captions by JJ Hermes. All photos were taken on Aug. 14.

THE FIRING LINE Game day glitch Mark Harrison, director of ticket operations, has a good story about the problems with last week's football tickets. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold up when compared to the actual experi­ ence of affected students. I ordered student season tickets back in the summer, and registered my utexas. edu mail account (which one would hope would be unaffected by the spam-blocker problem). When I hadn't received the promised e-mail by last weekend, I went to Belmont Hall on Monday morning — the first day of the draw, and after all of the tickets had been e-mailed, according to Mr. Harrison. When I finally got to the ticket win­ dow, I was told that my seat had been assigned, but the e-mail had not been sent yet and I should wait until later in the week to receive the tickets. Finally, on Thursday afternoon, I was still without tickets and called Texas Box Office, who told me that they didn't know why these e-mails hadn't gone out. I was told to pick them up on Friday at the ticket window, so it was back to the line with everyone else on campus, where my tickets were finally printed for me. They made a mistake with the e- mail system, but the bigger mistake was not using resources like the Texan and UTDirect to let students know what was going on. Why can't they just admit there was a problem rather than making excuses for their poor execution and blaming students for not updating their spam blockers? David Pugh Computer science senior Flood Astrodome" is not only an insensitive play on words, but overtly offensive to everyone both directly and indirectly involved. The Daily Texan Staff should have better sense than to put something like that on the front page of our school news­ paper. In the midst of such turmoil, pain and trauma, we need to be sympa­ thetic and supportive of all the vic­ tims of Hurricane Katrina. Maura Hanley Nutrition senior A medal for incompetence Soon, we will hear two different death totals from Hurricane Katrina — the number of people killed by it and the number killed by slow response time. If you want to know who the real incompetents are, there's an easy way to tell. They'll be the ones our presi­ dent will be giving medals to over the next few months. That's what he does with Iraq. William C. Stoslne Online reader Gas on the rise Looks like the fastest hurricane emergency relief went to the oil com­ panies, raising gas prices overnight. Liz Murray UT staff Stand united on Longhorn soil There are some things an incoming freshman can count on at UT. The football will be awesome, classes will be hard and the Texan will start off the semester with an Arab-baiting rant by Danny Rubenstein. Every semester it's the same old story. Rubenstein will demand that we all "stand with Israel" against those dirty "Palestinian Arabs" who are not human like you and me but just sim­ ply "terrorists" and "Muslim Fascists" enveloped in a "culture of death" Anyone who's been at UT more than a semester has heard all before. Okay, we get the point. You hate Arabs and love Israelis. You could probably teach the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan a thing or two about really hating a people. Enough! You sound like a broken record. For heaven's sake, get a life already. UT already had plenty of time- honored traditions to build and maintain the Longhorn spirit before Rubenstein came along. The Texan didn't really need to start a new one by beginning each semester with one of his bellicose, propagandistic racial diatribes. Longhorn traditions should build unity and strength, not foster racial hatred and division. Isaac Boxx UT alum Firing line faux pas? I couldn't help but notice that your paper somehow managed to censor a letter from the Daily Texan paper which is given out here on campus. I picked up a paper to read the letter "Is it worth it" but it wasn't there. Then I noticed off to the side that additional Firing Lines were posted on the web, when it should have said that only one short letter was. Just when I think that you guys can't sink any lower, you go and show me a whole new kind of low. Why do you feel the need to keep asking the same question if you hate the answer so much you can't even print it? Once again someone has given you photos which you refuse to print. I am asking you in the name of fairness to please print the letter and photos which they sent to you so that everyone can form their own opinions. Do you really think that a letter about impounding bikes here on campus is more important than a letter about the war from someone who was there? Is this the kind of journalism that's being taught here? If so, then you really should get your money back. Russell Berwick UT staff West v. the West Wing I am writing in response to Kanye West's comments at a Sept. 2 show to benefit of Hurricane Katrina's victims. He actually had the audacity to claim that "George Bush doesn't care about black people"and continued to slam the Bush administration for its fallacies in dealing with the tragedy. I think he needs to shut up about any of Bush's efforts unless he gives so much money to the rescue effort that he is forced to give up his luxurious life and live like a refugee. Otherwise, he might just sound like a hypocrite. Oops, too late... Aaron Martinez Government junior S U B M I T A FIRING LINE Please e-mail your Firing Lines to firingline@dailytexanonline. com.

He is the first Dalai Lama to travel to the West, and he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. "The prize reaffirms our con­ viction that with truth, cour­ age and determination as our weapons, Tibet will be liberated. O ur struggle must remain non­ violent and free of hatred," the Dalai Lama said in accepting the award for his work on global human rights. He has made the preservation of Tibetan culture a top prior­ ity, founding 53 large-scale agri­ cultural settlements and helping establish a Tibetan school system to teach refugee children about their culture. He has authored or co-authored over 60 books and visited some 46 countries for meetings with world leaders.

Walker said he was unsure of how many graduate students had been admitted. the The m ajority of refu­ gee students admitted are from Tulane, Xavier University and the University of New Orleans, and most are Texas residents, said Executive Vice President and Provost Sheldon Ekland-OLson. The other UT System institu­ tions are also offering adm is­ sions to displaced students.

Many of the UT System branch­ es are also willing to offer extend­ ed tuition payment plans and fee waivers to help evacuee students. UT-Austin is also offering to provide work and research space to displaced faculty members. It has already brought in one faculty member from Loyola University.

"Random people show up late at night, like 3 a.m., asking for blan­ kets or money," said Chakrabarti, a biochemistry senior. Chakrabarti said she and her roommate feel it's necessary to have an alarm system in their home. However, alarm systems don't always work, she said. One night a man tried to enter her apart­ ment but was run off by one of her friends when the trespasser found the door locked. Some residents in West Campus still feel safe. Jessica Like, also a West Campus resident, characterized the neigh­ borhood as pretty quiet for the most part. Like, a Plan II communication and liberal arts senior, said she hears police sirens now and then, but none of her possessions have been vandalized, and she feels completely safe in her third-story condo. Whether residents feel safe or not, APD detectives believe johnson may have entered or attempted to enter other residences in the neigh­ borhood on Thursday. Officials also said they believe Johnson may have been peeping into people's homes that night. Johnson is described as white with a thin build, black hair in a ponytail, green eyes and a goatee. Police said he has a tattoo of an eagle, sun and initials "D.E.J" on his right arm and a tattoo of a clo­ ver, wizard and heart with flames on his left arm. He also has a tat­ too of a bird with a heart on his left wrist. Police also said Johnson looks like a transient individual and normally wears a light-colored baseball hat. Police are asking any victims of window peeping incidents or inci­ dents where the suspect entered their homes to report informa­ tion to the APD Downtown Area Command at (512) 974-5777.

Austin: Needs fall across spectrum From p a g e l A operational mode of how we're going to deal with the 4,000 or so evacuees who are here," Hassinger said. Housing Austin is officially geared to handle housing for 5,000 people. At this point, Hassinger said, evacuees are being routed to the Austin Convention Center unless they need medical attention. By Monday afternoon, people housed at the Palmer Events cen­ ter were moved to the Convention Center, which has the capacity to hold about 1,000 more evacu­ ees, said city spokesman Mark Wieland. Once evacuees make their way to the Convention Center, Wieland said, they go through a registration process in the makeshift commu­ nity lab set up outside the doors of the convention room. With a volunteer's help, each evacuee receives an identification tag in the form of a blue wrist band, which gives him or her freerange of con­ vention center facilities. Evacuees also can access free bus service in the city. Red Cross workers and volun­ teers have provided cots for each person at the Austin Convention Center. According to Wieland, two large rooms were built on the back load­ ing dock of the convention center once evacuees began arriving in Austin. Both rooms, separated for men and women, provide show­ ers for several people at a time. Evacueys therefore must take group showers. Volunteers Inside the convention center around 9 a.m. Monday, about 25 volunteers had already started a line in front of Red Cross volunteer tables. Central Texas Red Cross spokes­ woman Claudia McWhorter said they have received and processed 2,000 volunteers in the Austin area in the last two days. McWhorter also said that they have enough volunteers for the next several weeks and at this point are just taking applications, but she encourages Austinites wanting to volunteer to seek other volunteer opportunities as well, through Goodwill or the Salvation Army. "The response has been incred­ ible," McWhorter said. "The com­ munity has stepped up to meet a need that is important." Donations to the Freescale Campus, formerly Motorola. The Austin Convention Center and the Palmer Events Center will no longer accept dona­ tions. The Central Texas Red Cross is accepting monetary donations and any clothing or household items should be donated to any local Salvation Army or Goodwill. Fundraisers hosted by Mayor Will Wynn this weekend result­ ed in "extremely large financial commitments from Austinites," according to mayoral aide Matt Curtis. Time Warner Cable's Austin division will provide assistance to Katrina victims at the convention center in the form of digital phone service, both local and long dis­ tance, in addition to video services and high-speed Internet connec­ tions. Time Warner spokeswoman Meg Meo said the company is also working with the Capital Area Food Bank to collect diapers, bot­ tled water, peanut butter, canned meats and granola bars. Michael Guerra, deputy execu­ tive director for the Capital Area Food Bank, said donation response for general hurricane relief is "mind-boggling." Due to the massive number of giving Austinites, city officials are asking that donations be re-routed Jobs Since most of the hurricane's evacuees have little left to return A STUDENT'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY The information below is considered directory information.

"I thank God, I say thank you for bringing me and my babies here." She said conditions in the Superdome were so bad that 5- year-old girls were being raped in the bathrooms, guards would open fire in the air indoors try­ ing to control people, and she only had one bottle of water for her family per day. Strangers slept shoulder-to- shoulder with paper plates, newspapers or books covering their faces to drown out the faded but still bright stadium lighting. Exhausted and wor­ ried about other family mem­ bers, some evacuees spent their third restless night in what was becoming a long-term refuge. An opportunity to shower, a warm meal and clean clothes for herself and her children were offered to her upon her arrival at the Astrodome. Filing out of the buses, evacu­ ees first go through a an on-site triage where a complete medi­ cal clinic is stationed. Doctors and nurses are among the 170 daily medical personnel on site. Those who are in need of exten­ sive medical assistance are taken by ambulance to surrounding hospitals. Gynecologists and mental health professionals are also on site for specific care. Dr. Umair Shah, deputy director of Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services, said they are doing their best to look for infectious diseases. He said nurses walk the floor, looking for and treat­ ing conditions using their own professional discretion. Every eight hours about 2,500 volunteers work at the Astrodome, Reliant Center and Reliant Arena sorting clothes, distributing toys and serving food. Evacuees are provided with three hot meals a day with 24-hour access to snacks and cold beverages. Young volunteers played with children well into the late evening hours, attempting to entertain them and doing their best to avoid the question, "When is my daddy coming?" Singleton is still praying for information wall the safe arrival of her husband, whom she has not seen since Monday when rescue crews saved the women and children and assured her they would go back for her husband, Johnelle Singleton. An in the back of the Astrodome is covered with old cardboard boxes, poster board and small sticky notes with the names and description of lost family members. Occasionally, those names scroll across what was once used as a scoreboard. Volunteers lined up to assist in transcribing personal informa­ tion to later enter into an elec­ tronic database. Evacuees can look for people they wish to find, and see where they are located. Red Cross officials said computers will be provided as soon as the end of the weekend. In addition, the Red Cross cre­ ated a Family Links Registry, allowing family members of the evacuees to register who they are looking for in the database. The challenge, they said, to con­ is knowing how tact the evacuees within the Astrodome. "If someone just puts down 'I'm in the northwest comer of the Astrodome with a blue bandanna tied on my cot/ that would work," said Dana Allen, a spokeswoman for the Red Cross. "We just need a way to know where they are." A lost-child area is sectioned off in the Astrodome for chil­ dren to go if they are separated from their families who are in the dome. The Red Cross said it knows of no children in the Astrodome who are without a family. A spokesperson from Child Protective Services said digital pictures of children are taken to enter in a national database of missing children. In the mean­ time, they will take in children and put them in foster homes until they can be reunited with their parents. James Cunningham, 16, was rescued with his girlfriend and her family. "There no such thing as my mom. There no such thing as my daddy," he said. "They lost."

No upsets, no last-minute field goals — just a few extra points. Texas rolled over Louisiana-Lafayette 60-3 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday without giving Ohio State much to study for next week­ end's showdown. The offense showed off a pair of freshman backs and a refur­ bished passing game, while the defense withheld blitzes but still caused all sorts of havoc for the Ragin' Cajuns. Several players on the Lafayette team have family in New Orleans, and the wake of Hurricane Katrina caused the Cajuns to worry about more than foot­ ball leading into the game. "When we got up to 60 points with five minutes left to go in the third quarter, and with what some of those kids have been through the last week, I thought we needed to get the game over with as soon as we could and let them get home and not try to ruin their season," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "Some of those kids haven't heard from all of their fam­ ily members." The Longhorns received the ball first and operated from a three-wideout set with a tailback and a tight end. Selvin Young started at tailback, but fumbled on the seventh play of the first drive for Texas' first of two turnovers on the game.

Rob Strong | Daily Texan Staff Texas rushing attack generates more than 400 yards, six scores as five different backs fin d the end zone in hom e win By Jake Veyhl Daily Texan Staff As the nation's second-leading ground attack in 2004, the Longhorns entered this season fac­ ing questions about their rushing productivity without Cedric Benson. The Benson-led backfield from a year ago amassed 513 rushing yards in the season open­ er against North Texas. The Longhorns didn't reach that mark Saturday, but still looked impressive while accumulating 418 yards on the ground on 52 carries. True freshman Jamaal Charles led the team with 135 yards and one touchdown in his debut, while three other players ran for at least 60 yards. "I know we have a lot of great guys and a lot of talent on this team," Texas tailback Selvin Young said. "At the running back position, it's probably a coach's dream to be able to turn around and pick a guy and throw him in the fire, and he'll produce. I feel like that's what we have." Young started Saturday's game but was limited to eight carries for precautionary rea­ sons after tweaking his ankle in the first half. Charles, Ramonee Taylor and true freshman "I kn o w we have a lot o f great g u y s an d a lot of talent on this team." Selvin Young, Texas running back Henry Melton shared the rushing duties for most of the game. Charles took full advantage of the opportu­ nity. His 135-yard night broke Taylor's record for the most yards by a Texas freshman in his debut game. Taylor's 96-yard performance in 2004 broke Ricky Williams' mark of 95 yards set in 1995. "Jamaal Charles is really a good back," offen­ sive coordinator Greg Davis said. "He will con­ tinue to get better and see things. He's a good player and has good vision and good speed." Taylor complimented Young and Charles with even more speed, racking up 65 yards on five carries, including a 30-yard reverse for a touch­ down. He also caught two balls for 23 yards. Melton contributed in a different way. Rushing attack continues on page 3B Jamaal Charles scores his first career touchdow n. The freshm an led Texas with 135 rushing yards.

Oklahoma was not just outplayed; they were dominated by TCU, a team that had only beaten Army and SMU, two NCAA doormats, in its last seven games on the road. Oklahoma's offensive and defen­ sive lines were dominated by the Homed Frogs. TCU held the Sooners to zero points in the first half for the first time in Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops' tenure. The Sooners didn't finish any better, gaining only 25 yards on their final 25 snaps.

Notre Dame hosts Jerritt Elliot, Texas vo lle yb a ll c o a c h Texas in fifth game By Cody Hale Daily Texan Staff In this weekend's tournament at Notre Dame, Texas volleyball coach Jerritt Elliott planned on using his strong defense to help his offense get going. But it's hard for the offense to succeed when there is another tough defense on the other side of the net. Texas (1-1) opened its 2005 season in South Bend, Ind., this weekend in a three-team tour­ nament. The Longhorns opened tournam ent play by soundly defeating Arizona State (1-4) in three consecutive games, 30-24, 30-22, 30-25, but Texas came up just short in its second match, los­ ing to Notre Dame in five games. the Longhorns against Arizona State with 41 assists, and freshman Lauren Paolini added 12 kills in Texas' victory. Junior Dariam Acevedo and freshman Leticia Armstrong had 11 and 10 kills, respectively, for the Longhorns. Michelle M oriarty led Texas' maturity level was also tested in the three-game sweep of the Sun Devils. With all three the gam es Longhorns were able to pull away at the end of the match due to their strong defensive play down the stretch. tightly contested, While the Longhorns were able to hold off the Sun Devils, there are still many issues that need to be resolved before conference play begins. "Right now we're just trying to find our consistency level as a team," Elliott said. "We did a good job holding Arizona State out at the end, but we're striving to find our consistency level over the next few weeks." This consistency level would have helped against Notre Dame (2-0) on Saturday. The Longhorns fell in five games to the Fighting Irish, losing in the deciding game 15-10. After falling behind 24), Texas fought back and claimed victory in the next two games before falling short for its first loss of the season. Junior Brandy Magee and Paolini led Texas with 19 kills each. Texas libero Alyson Jennings matched her career-high with 20 digs in the match. Acevedo added 16 kills. In the final game, Texas went the teams ahead 8-6, but as switched sides of the court, Notre Dame answered back with eight consecutive points to reach match point. Magee brought the Longhorns back within four of Notre Dame, but Lauren Brewster's fourth kill of the game finished the game and the match off. Neither team served well dur­ ing the match, as Texas racked up 18 service errors — including a pair in the final game — com­ pared to Notre Dame's 10. The difference in service errors that contributed a large part of the Notre Dame's success match, according to Elliott. in "All of our em>rs on our side of the net helped them out tremen­ dously," Elliott said. "A s we go on, we'll find that rhythm that will eliminate a lot of these errors, and we'll try and find that consistency before we hit conference play." Before entering the confer­ ence schedule, Texas travels to Mississippi to take part in the Ole Miss tournament this weekend. While-the Longhorns are waiting to hear if the weather will per­ mit them to travel into Hurricane Katrina's path of destruction, they will begin preparing for the tour­ nament by focusing on their side of the net. "It's a big tournament for us over there, and there are a lot of solid teams traveling to play in it," Elliott said. "Right now, we just have to take it one game at a time and execute our game plan on our side of the net. We're excited about this year, and we can't wait to get back out there on the court." From page 1B Heisman hopeful Adrian Peterson had no room to run, rushing 22 times for only 63 yards, most of which came in Oklahoma's lone touchdown drive. The Sooners' quarterbacks also looked horrendous against a TCU team that ranked 117th in pass defense in 2004. Although the Homed Frogs run a confusing 4- 2-5 scheme, there's no excuse for Oklahoma's inability to pass. Starter Paul Thompson had two game-changing turnovers, includ­ ing a fumble on the five-yard line that cost the Sooners at least three points, if not seven. Blue-chip recruit Rhett Bomar looked even worse. Bomar com­ pleted only two of five pass attempts, and his fourth-quarter fumble deep in Sooner territory set up TC U 's winning touch­ down. Oklahoma was definitely expecting more from the former No. 1 high school quarterback. Bomar will get his opportunity to start Saturday against Tulsa in what is beginning to look a lot like a quarterback controversy. so Stoops w as frustrated by the loss that he blamed his players, echoing his comments from Oklahoma's blowout loss in the to Southern California Orange Bowl in January. "Watching it from the sideline and watching it again [on film], we just got whipped," Stoops said to the Dallas Morning News. "W e're not very tough. They played tougher, harder and bet­ ter than we did. And that's it." While the Sooners did lose their Jerry Laizu re | Associated Press O klahom a's Adrian Peterson walks off the field asTCU players celebrate their upset win over the seventh-ranked Sooners on Saturday. Heisman-winning quarterback, their top three receivers, most of their offensive line and five of their top seven tacklers from 2004, Bob Stoops-coached teams had never lost in September. Furthermore, no one expects a program like Oklahom a to become the first top-10 team in ten years to lose its home season opener to an unranked team. While Texas fans certainly cel­ ebrated the result, Texas coach Mack Brown might not have been as thrilled. Beating an Oklahoma team is tough. But beating a group that lost earlier in the season to TCU, and thus has something to prove, will also be extremely difficult. Texas still must deal with the added pressure of five consecu­ tive losses to Stoops in Dallas. Oklahoma will be ready to play against Texas, no matter how bad they looked on Saturday. Even though Texas rolled over Louisiana-Lafayette and could be undefeated on Oct. 8 if the Longhorns get by Ohio State, history proves that Oklahoma brings its 'A' game when the Red River Rivalry rolls around. This may not be a champi- onship-caliber Sooner team, but they are just as talented as any recent Oklahoma group. a favor Longhorns. Don't go counting your chickens until they hatch. yourselves Do Rushing attack: Freshmen impressive in home debut, Young confident in backfield From p a g e lB The 270-pound bruiser broke away from multiple tackles and busted into the end zone on two separate runs. Melton, who tow­ ered over 5-foot-ll-inch fullback Ahmard Hall in the backfield, showed surprising agility on both runs, making players miss with his feet as well as his strength. "It stings a little bit more than when you hit a 220-pound run­ ning back," defensive end Brian Robison said. "H e's a big back; he's a bruiser. You have to come up and hit him, can't let him lower that shoulder on you. If I look across the line and see a guy like th a t... I'll take his legs out. I'm not going to try and hit him up high." With the variety of talent in the backfield, the questions of whether Texas will be able to run effectively have changed to who will be the runner. "O ur core group is amazing," Melton said. "Anyone can step up. get the job done. Young likely will continue to start, but M elton and Charles showed the ability to contend for playing time in specific situations.

The Homed Frogs' victory at Owen Field was Bob Stoops' first loss in a non-conference game at Oklahoma, and for the first time in his tenure, the Sooners were shut out in the first half. "I think that nine times out of 10, Oklahoma wins this gam e," TCU head coach Gary Patterson said. "Today was our one. We got a chance to show off on national TV and show America that TCU is not gone." TCU got on the board with a lit­ tle more than 10 minutes remain­ ing in the first half when senior quarterback Tye Gunn found Derek Moore open in the end zone for a 16-yard touchdown pass. A field goal minutes later put the Frogs up 10, and the score was unchanged at halftime. Despite being held to 63 yards on 22 carries, sophomore tail­ back Adrian Peterson scored the Sooners' only touchdown on an 11-yard run. Oklahoma tied the game with a field goal near the end of the third quarter. The Sooners' fourth turnover provided TCU the chance they needed to get back on top. Rhett Bomar fumbled deep in his own territory, and linebacker David Hawthorne fell on the ball. Four plays later, the Frogs were in the end zone. The game-winning touchdown came on a run by Robert Merrill. A&M loses opener at Clemson Texas A & M 's show dow n against Clemson came down to a field goal with six seconds on the clock. With the Tigers down two, Jad Dean lined up for his sixth attempt of the game. He'd already hit five, including one longer than the crucial 42-yard attempt that would decide the game. A low snap appeared to doom Clemson's hopes, but holder Cole Chason handled it perfectly and got the ball in position for Dean, who sent it through the uprights to put his team ahead 25-24. The six field goals set a new team record. After bouncing back from their opening loss to Utah last season, A&M is faced with a simi­ lar task, despite controlling much of the game. Clemson only got into the end zone once, and it took a spe­ cial teams play to do it. Chansi Stuckey took a punt 47 yards to the end zone to put the Tigers ahead 10-3 in the second quarter. Last-second field goal propels Buffaloes to victory in rivalry Colorado came back from a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter and pulled out a victory against rival Colorado State in the season opener. "That was one exciting game... a classic football. for college That's the way rivalries should be," Colorado head coach Gary Barnett said. Both teams took advantage of several turnovers, and in the end, the team with the least won the game. Colorado made four interceptions, while Colorado State recovered two fumbles and picked off one pass. The Buffaloes have now won three consecutive games against the Rams. Despite their dominant position in the rivalry, Buffaloes fans stormed the field after the game. Colorado kicker Mason Crosby hit the game-winning field goal from 47 yards out with 4 sec­ onds on tiie clock. The kick, his first game-winner, came on the Georgetown native's 21st birth­ day, giving him plenty to cel­ ebrate.

"We're going to have a barbe­ cue out at my place to celebrate the win and my birthday." Baylor finally gets a road win Baylor went on the road to open the season againsl Southern Methodist and, for the first time in 24 road games, the Bears returned to Waco with a win. SM U hasn't won a non­ conference game since 2000, bul they made the Bears work for the 28-23 victory. Baylor started drives deep in SMU territory several times during the first half. A blocked field goal and two fumbles gave Baylor possession on SM U's 22, 20 and 13 yard lines, but the Bears couldn't take advantage by converting any of the oppor­ tunities into points. Around the Big 12 Conference Elsewhere, Big 12 teams took care of their opponents, buf not by much. Oklahoma State pulled off an unimpressive 15- 10 win against Montana State at home, while Missouri trounced Arkansas State 44-17. Division- I newcomers Florida Atlantic and Florida International both fell to Big 12 opponents. Kansas beat Atlantic 30-19, and Kansas State beat International 35-21. Nebraska shut out Maine for the first three quarters on their way to knocking them off 25-7, and Iowa State bounced Illinois State 32-21. Ohio State: Scrambling QBs friends From page 1B high-flying receivers. The line­ men especially will have to pay attention to which style of quar­ terback takes snaps each series. "W e have to be aware of it, because their No. 10 [Smith] is the sam e as our No. 10 [Young]," Texas defensive end Tim Crowder said. "I feel our 10 is the best 10 out there, so it's a definitely plus to have him ." The Buckeyes' air assault includes versatile sophomore Ted Ginn. Jr., who like Texas' Ramonee Taylor lines up from multiple receiver positions and returns kicks. Ginn caught two touchdowns last season and returned four punts for touch­ downs — including a game- breaking 82-yard return against Michigan. "[Ginn] might line up any­ where; you never know where they'll put that guy," com erback Cedric Griffin said. "Will he be the fastest guy on the field? I don't know because w e've got some athletic guys on our team. You can never tell who is fast, because on a field, 'football fast' is different from running 40-yard dashes and track." Junior receiver Santonio Holmes is another deep threat for Ohio State, in addition to his punt return duties. Holmes had 769 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 2004. The Buckeyes return nine starters on defense with a vet­ eran line and secondary. The linebacking corps, however, is making the most noise before the matchup with Texas. Senior A.J. Hawk returns as the team's leading tackier from the weak-side spot, while senior Bobby Carpenter works from the strong side. Carpenter made pointed com ments Saturday about ending Young's Heisman Trophy chances after defeating Miami 34-15, according to the Associated Press. As the talk grows this week, more barbs but fewer hints about the teams' gameplans are in store for the next four days. The Buckeyes, with nearly 105,000 fans waiting at Ohio Stadium, boast a 23-game win­ ning streak at hom e, while Texas enters with 21 victories in its past 22 road games, not including neutral-site losses to Oklahoma. All the talk doesn't bother the players, since Texas tends to gain attention wher­ ever it travels. "A rkansas was a pretty loud place, and So was the Rose Bowl," Vince Young said. "Pretty much everyone on the team knows what it takes to win there. You have to stay focused." Easier said than done this week. < Tuesday, Septem ber 6, 2005 hNTERTAINMEN 5B Ansel Adams exhibit now at T T P r Tr-eDaÜ.yTexax . ai tiKL, Entertainment - Works by landscape p h o to g ra p h e r on disp la y at U T By Lauren Thompson Daily Texan Staff Imagine you are standing in Yosemite National Park on a sunny afternoon, and you look out over Yosemite Valley. It is breathtaking, everything from the trees to the clouds in the sky as the sun shines brightly through the patchwork of green, hovering over the mountains. Try to under­ stand the feeling of experiencing such a moment in time, the per­ fection of nature. Now imagine you are stand­ ing in the Harry Ransom Center looking at a photograph of said view. It may be hard to believe that a photograph of something so beautiful w ould invoke the same emotion as the experience, but Ansel Adams has proved it possible. The American photographer is famous not only for his land­ scapes, portraits and architectural views, but also his contribution to the art of photography through teaching and perfecting black and White printings. The Ansel Adams exhibit at the Harry Ransom Center located at the comer of 21st and Guadalupe Streets contains 126 photographs, loan from The which are on Friends of Photography, an orga­ nization created by Adams him­ self. The exhibit begins with a timeline about Adams' life then taking you through his black and white landscapes, around to his amazing photographs of cities like San Francisco and finally to his portraits of the everyday man. Photos of landscapes may seem like a wall-filler for an office or country style restaurant, but think again. He can dramatize trees in such a way that your mind begins to w ander to the bigger things in life like the existence of a higher power. Take Adams' Aspens, Northern New Mexico, 1958, and Mount Williamson from Manzanar, 1944. The former exhibits his experi­ mental tendencies with the black and white art, with white trees against a black background, the most unique tree being the brightest. The view of Mount Williamson is from a rock's per­ spective, making the viewer feel as if they are a part of something so amazing and important that it is almost overwhelming. Karen Jeanes, a government senior visiting the exhibit, has been to some of the places Adams has photographed. She believes that the way Adams captures tex­ ture gives the allusion of reality. "Seeing it in black and white, you can almost touch it, if 1 weren't in a museum, I'd want to touch them. It seems real," Jeanes said. She is not the only one who found something innovative in Adams. Lisa Roberts, a psychol- ogy graduate student, loved the "sense of serenity" his photos seem to have. "There are different textures all at once, both smooth and crisp," Roberts said. Ansel Adams was a photog­ rapher who forced the viewer to reevaluate the way they look at the world, and even today, 21 years after his death, the father of black and white photographv still defines the photographic experi­ ence. section We are currently looking for writers of all-Sbapes and sizes, but | specifically those interested in writing about: Hip-Hop - Fashion - Food Studio Art - Theater and also Pop Culture Columnists Applications in the basement of CMC or ¿-mail: entertaiment@dailytexanoniine.com 232-2208 Visit Tm D u ly T k x\ n online at www.dailytexanonline.com Students Fly Cheaper Sample roundtrip Student Airfares from Austin to: D enver $168 San Francisco $208 New York $233 London $538 Paris $580 FREE TICKETS Text “UT" to 2 2 1 22 It’s your chance to w|n one of ten pairs of roundtrip tickets to London • C 3 * StudentU niverse.com Terms: Terms All fares are based on roundtrip travel 8 include a StudentUniverse service fee of $5 Domestic fares include a 7 5% US transportation tax Other taxes 8 fees vary, depending on the itinerary 8 are not included.

The film focuses on Tracy Stokes (Nick Cannon), a young detective infamous for his recklessness. Stokes takes on an undercover job as a student at an elite, pri­ vate high school under the direc­ tion of Headmaster Powers (Hugh Bonneville), in hopes of gaining respect from his colleagues and superiors. In the process of solving the mur­ der of a student reporter linked to auto thefts, Stokes befriends the “in crowd" led by Rob Donovan (Shawn Ashmore) and his minions: the macho wannabe David Boscoe (Angelo Spizziri) and the clueless yet endearing Alexander Jeffries (Johnny Lewis). Lewis's character could dearly be the best aspect of the movie. He is so eager to please that we can't help but love the guy. After a series of false leads with a few out-of-place James Bond moves, Stokes' chances of redeeming himself are slim to none. But then, an overly cliché change of events pulls him deeper into the world of car theft and drug trafficking, and turns Stokes from a struggling detective to our hero. Of course, what'sa flick without some romance? In the midst of juggling basketball games, parties, classes, street fights and jail time, the "smooth" detective receives private tutoring sessions from the predicable and attractive Spanish teacher Ms. Lopez, played by Roselyn Sanchez. However, their relationship, if it can be called that, is underdeveloped. One minute she is chiding him for his lack of participation in class, and the next thing we know the} are playing hanky panky. While on the subject of plot, to be perfectly blunt, the writers didn't put much creativity into the script. Not only did it not have "on the edge of your seat" action or anticipation, the sus­ pense aspect of the film is virtu­ ally nonexistent. Sadly, when there was finally a surprising twist, it came from left field! There had been no clues or references of any kind that would have helped us con­ nect the dots and put this puzzle together. Instead, it leaves a big question mark over our heads as we ask: Where the heck did that come from? Soon after, the story is rushed into hostage situations and explosions. We assume the inten­ tion was to go out with a bang, but the effect was not felt. The performances of the actors are far from Oscar winning, but that was expected. Considering the weak script they had to work with, the actors can't be blamed entirely The characters are based on stereotypes, which were intended to fulfill the "comedy" aspect. Conversely, the jokes fall short due to their predictable nature. They have been used again and again in teenage movies from the begin­ ning of time. So little thought was put into the dialogue, that after the first 10 minutes, one could anticipate the next "joke." Obviously, the production is banking on young audiences pay­ ing six bucks to watch gunshots and car explosions. Don't give them the satisfaction by wast­ ing vour money at the theater; instead, wait to watch the DVD on a rainy day. B t o x i G A L A X Y H I Q H L A M ) S T A D I U M 1 0 ......

"I think about what if we woke up, and the w ater w as already up over the house. Then it's just like a monster is outside, and there's nowhere to go." She woke Jam es and Isaac and the three waded to a friend's house, located on higher ground, where nine or 10 others had already gathered. For several days, Brown said, she and her sons stayed in her friend's house. "T h e water was up, there was nothing to do, all nine or 10 of us in there, just w anting [drinking] water. We had a small supply, but we knew it w ouldn't last. So when the water went down enough to walk, 1 waded out to look for supplies." "You hear a lot about the rob­ bing and stealing," Brown said. "People breaking into gas sta­ tions. But, you know, once they broke in, I'd just follow in behind." Brown said she stole food and water for herself and her children. "M oney was of no value. I had $20 in my pocket. It's just wet and stinky, it's worth nothing." Eventually, the Browns and a few of their companions from the house waded out looking for Evacuee continues on page 3C Merrill Lynch Coming tomorrow: The hacker who stole UT students'personal information is sentenced ‘My personal experience’ with Katrina www.daiiytexanonline.com Features Editor: Jonathan York E-mail: features@dailytexanonline.com Phone: (512) 471-8616 Evacuee tells her story o f surviving hurricanes wrath By Delaney Hall Daily Texan Staff Lorraine Brow n, after five days of struggling through hur­ ricane-w recked New O rleans — seeking refuge in a friend's house on high ground, a chaotic, dark hotel, and the New Orleans Convention Center — has finally landed in Austin. Brown, a real estate agent and an author, w as one of around 3,500 evacuees to arrive in Austin beginning Friday. After she was airlifted from the New Orleans Convention Center, where thou­ sands retreated last week after their hom es were swallowed by rising flood waters. "I can only tell you my per­ sonal, live experience," she said. "But being inside the hurricane, it's kind of like what you see in the satellite images: It's all around you, turning, rainfall and w ind." By Monday, Aug. 29, when water from Lake Pontchartrain breached the 17th Street Canal and the Industrial Canal levees and started flowing into the city, Brown knew she had to get out of her house. She lived on the east side of New O rleans, which is next to the Industrial Canal Levee and flooded badly, she said. Brow n, like m any others, stayed behind in the city even after officials mandated an evac­ uation. M any people cou ld n't find ways to leave or lacked the resources — m oney or a car — to get out. M any d idn't understand the severity of the com ing storm. "M aybe people didn't see those Lorraine Brown and her sons, James and Isaac, stayed behind during Hurricane Katrina but left when their house flooded. After staying at a friend's house, a hotel, the New Orleans Convention Center and now the Austin Convention Center, she is not sure what she will do next. Joe B u g le w ic z | Daily Texan Staff satellite p hotos," Brown said, holding out her hands to indicate a large, flat disc — the massive edges of the sw irling hurricane as seen from space. Brown, how­ ever, saw the TV images of the eye of Katrina, moving toward the Gulf Coast. "Inside the eye, it's like living in heaven," she said. "It's beauti­ ful, calm. It's everything around the eye that's so destructive." Brown thought the epicenter of the storm would miss New O rleans and that everything would be all right, so she stayed behind with her sons, Jam es and Isaac. At first, she said, it seemed like things would be alright. At 5 a.m. on Monday, after floodwaters breached the New levees, Brown awoke O rleans to find water seeping in to her house. "I saw the w ater on my kitchen floor, and I picked up a mop and started m opping. But then I looked out the win­ dow and saw that the water was already up to here," she said, holding her hand at her waist. "It's lucky that I woke up at five, because by six the water w ould've been too high to get o u t."

They came across a hotel where people were living on the highest floors, above the flood level. The Browns were confronted by an angry hotel owner, who didn't want to let them stay and who was charging some of the refugees $150 a night to stay there. "We looked at her, this hotel clerk, and we said, 'OK, if you want to call the police, call the police. You think they're going to come over here to help you out?' She started putting on her thinking cap real fast and she said 'OK, go on in /" Brown said. "She could've got shot like that, trying to keep people out." The hotel, Brown said, w as in chaos, with people holed up in their rooms, som e dying from shock or dehydration. A man, unstable — Brown thinks drug- addicted — wandered the halls, setting everyone on edge. She shared some of her son's anti­ anxiety medicine with the man, hoping to calm him down. "New Orleans has got that spiritual thing — voodoo, but good voodoo, good food. I know it'll be rebuilt." Lorraine Brown, hurricane refugee "We left that place pretty quick­ ly," Brown said. "It seemed unsafe to me, like a death trap." They returned briefly to her friend's house and then, in a stolen pick-up truck driven by other New Orleanians, proceeded to the Convention Center where tens of thousands had gathered. There w as little food and almost no water. Nearby neighborhoods were being looted, and Brown worried about her sons. "We were sleeping on the floor," she said, "but even the floor wasn't decent, it w as too pissy. So we slept outside on the rocks. It felt safer to be around a lot of people. It w as better than being by yourself." The situation at the Convention Center bordered on chaos the whole time, Brown said. Her group, living in one end of the long building, kept tight control of the situation in their immedi­ ate area. "Som e of us got together, we prayed, and ... if a child w as act­ ing up real bad, we said [to the parent], 'Get your belt and beat him.' For us all to rise up, some had to get beat down. We didn't want there to be any misbehavior; things could've gotten too out of control. We tried to dean it up," she said. When Brown's group saw that military helicopters were begin­ ning to evacuate. They went outside and formed a straight, orderly line. "We were hoping the helicopter would notice us, and they did.

Brown talked a little about her life before the hurricane. "I w as bom and raised in N ?w Orleans, and I can tell you Katrina is about the meanest hurricane I have ever seen," said Brown, sit­ ting at a long table at the Palmer Events Center with her two sons. "A lot of the people here, they're still shook up," she said, look­ ing out into the cavernous room. Hundreds of evacuees wandered the perimeter of the center. Long rows of mattresses, a few packed edge to edge, filled the middle of the room, some shielded with pink curtains to provide people with a little privacy. "I'm not talk­ ing to people as much as I should, but some I really can't talk to," Brown said. "I can tell w ho's still not right, and I kind of leave it alone. Everyone here is in mourn­ ing, pain, and shock." "I took nothing from my house," Brown said. "I've got my purse, and it had some of my important papers, but when I looked inside, it w as all wet. It smells like a hur­ ricane smells. I'm just going to throw it away." Brown is now trying to find her brother, who lives somewhere in Texas. She doesn't have a phone number. It's subm erged, along with everything else, in New Orleans. She said that she might resettle here, but hopes New Orleans will be rebuilt. "N ew Orleans has go t that spiritual thing — voodoo, but good voodoo, good fo o d ," she said. "I know it'll be rebuilt. Bush loves N ew Órleans, even if he w as late getting there. H e loves the G ulf of Mexico, pum pin g up all that oil. There's som ething rich about the whole p lace," she said. "In the meantime, I'm going to have to build a place som e­ where else, like a vacation home. Maybe in Texas and m aybe in Austin. But I've heard Texas has tornadoes, and I might just bring them over with m e," she said, laughing. An easy way to make new friends. Some say it's like summer camp.

Researchers observing the chil­ dren's play found that the ones who watched PG-13 or R-rated movies also were more likely to choose alcohol for Barbie. A 4-year-old girl chose Barbie­ sized tobacco in the pretend store and said: "I need this for my man. A man needs cigarettes." Parents who watched from behind a one-way mirror were surprised by their children's choices, said study co-author Madeline Dalton of Dartmouth Medical School. The study was published Monday in the September issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. The study included 120 chil­ dren, ages 2 to 6. An adult researcher led a standardized play activity in which each child, acting as a Barbie or Ken doll, shopped for a visiting friend. A store stocked with 133 miniature items gave the children choices. They could "buy" anything they wanted. Twenty-eight percent of the children bought cigarettes, and 61 percent bought alcohol. The children whose parents smoked were almost four times more likely to buy cigarettes. Children who watched adult- content movies were five times more likely to buy alcohol, but the researchers did not find a sta­ tistically significant link between movie-watching and choosing cigarettes. The study suggests that par­ ents should be careful about the movies their children watch, said Craig Anderson, who stud­ ies media violence at Iowa State University. "Kids are basically little learn­ ing machines. Whatever the con­ tent is in front of them, they're going to pick it up," Anderson said. By Qianqian Liang Daily Texan Staff That "whatever" is not part of a question but an expression of sul­ len rebuke is just one reminder in a compiled list distributed to uni­ versity professors and students to help bridge the generation gap. A list of "mindsets" that incom­ ing freshmen allegedly hold is com­ piled during the summer months at Beloit College in Wisconsin. The mindset list was created through suggestions by students, previ­ ous lists and numerous magazines or newspapers with publications since 1987. The list has existed since 2002 and builds upon previous years through suggestions by students and landmark publications from the year the incoming class was bom. For example, "Entertainment Weekly" has always been on the newsstand, for the class of 2009. "The various lists distributed on campus before often empha­ sized the ignorance of incoming freshmen, so instead, we created a list that captures the mindset and marks the cultural horizons and experiences of the new fresh­ men," said Tom McBride, one of two authors who contributed to the list. Ron Nief, co-author, noted that their purpose was to present pro­ fessors with the list to prevent a "hardening of references," or to avoid using one reference during lectures that new students might not understand. Instead, profes­ sors are encouraged to use refer­ ences that apply or relate to stu­ dents today. For example, when describing business monopolies to incoming freshmen, don't men­ tion Bell Systems and AT&T, men­ tion Microsoft. Beloit College history professor Sara Jorgensenn said she thought the list helps them see the stu­ dents' perspectives and that it is interesting to see what events they've experienced since they were bom. University students said the list is more entertaining than informa­ tive. "The presentation is not very amusing, but the idea is amus­ ing," said undeclared freshman Jonathan Schultz. "There were about 10 things that I did not real­ ize were true until 1 read them."
