Attorneys representing the Fi¥nal Exit Network members say they are confident they will be exonerated if their case lands be¥fore a jury. And they hope it will bolster this offshoot of the right¥to-die movement, which con¥tends it never actively assists with suicide, just guides people through the process. ÒThis is a difficult issue that our society is going to have to face in the years to come,Ó said Bob Rubin, an attorney for Claire Blehr, a group member who was indicted. ÒBut itÕs going to be a huge issue as our population ages, and we have to think.Ó Blehr and three other mem¥bers of the network were arrest¥ed in February 2009 in connec¥tion with John CelmerÕs death at his north Georgia home. The ar¥rests came after an eight-month investigation where an under¥cover agent posing as someone seeking to commit suicide infil¥trated the group. The Forsyth County grand jury formally indicted Blehr, for¥mer network president Thom¥as E. Goodwin, ex-medical di¥rector Dr. Lawrence D. Egbert and regional coordinator Nich¥olas Alec Sheridan. Each were indicted on charges of offering assistance in the commission of suicide, tampering with evi¥because it is undetectable during an autopsy. The case highlighted a rift in the right-to-die movement. Final Exit Network leaders say the group helped not only peo¥ple with terminal illnesses, but also those who were suffering but not necessarily dying. Critics within the movement, including Dr. Jack Kevorkian, have said people should be able to seek as¥sistance ending their lives, but only from doctors and only if they are terminally ill. Goodwin told The Associat¥ed Press in an interview last year that the organizationÕs leaders believed that people with just months to live arenÕt the only ones who should be able to seek help committing suicide. He said the group has helped nearly 200 people across the country die but never actively assisted suicide. CelmerÕs case seemed tailor¥made to heighten the debate. His mother said he had long suffered from throat and mouth cancer, but his doctor told inves¥tigators he had made a Òremark¥able recoveryÓ and was cancer¥free when he killed himself in 2008. Authorities said he may have been embarrassed about his appearance after jaw surgery. The networkÕs attorneys are now readying their defense if the case goes to trial. And theyÕre preparing to defend not only the four members, but the assisted suicide process. ÒWeÕve been working on this case for a year,Ó said defense attor¥ney Don Samuel, who represents Egbert and the network. ÒWeÕre confident in our defense and we expect a favorable outcome.Ó By Brian Murphy The Associated Press DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Ñ A traditional Islamic concept about protecting the faith and its followers has become a judicial weapon for IranÕs rulers: charg¥ing opponents as so-called en¥emies of God with the threat of possible death sentences. IranÕs accusations of Òmohare¥behÓ Ñ literally Òwaging warÓ in Arabic Ñ have opened deep rifts between ruling clerics and Islam¥ic scholars questioning how an idea about safeguarding Muslims can be transformed into a tool to punish political protesters. The outcry increased last week after an appeals court report¥edly upheld the death sentence for Mohammad Amin Valian, a 20-year-old student convicted of moharebeh crimes, which IranÕs legal code defines as Òdefiance of GodÓ Ñ or the state Ñ and pun¥ishable by hanging. Valian has only admitted to throwing stones at security forces during anti-government protests in December, according to oppo¥sition Web sites. In January, Iran hanged two men on moharebeh offenses Ñ convicted of plotting to over¥throw Òthe Islamic establishmentÓ and planning assassinations and bombings. Some were sentenced to death, while more than 80 re¥ceived prison terms ranging from six months to 15 years. The concept has its roots in a Quranic verse that calls for death, maiming or banishment for those who Òwage warÓ against God, the Prophet Muhammad or bring corruption into society. Iranian authorities have pushed the meaning to cover any chal¥lenges to the stability and survival of the Islamic state Ñ built large¥ly around the idea that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is divinely empowered. Iran has used moharebeh charges several times in past de¥cades, mostly against suspected Kurdish separatists as well as al¥leged members of armed opposi¥tion groups. The opposition says more than 80 protesters were killed in unrest since the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June. anti-racketeering laws. Authorities say the network, which was also indicted, has helped dozens of people kill themselves since it was found¥ed in 2004. Some members, in¥cluding Egbert, also face charg¥es from authorities in Arizona in connection with a suicide there. The Georgia Bureau of Investi¥gation carefully picked its targets after the sting operation. Goodwin and Blehr were with Celmer when he died, each hold¥ing one of his hands, according to court records. Afterward, investi¥gators said they removed a heli¥um tank and hood Celmer wore to help him suffocate. Investi¥gators say Egbert and Sheridan, who were arrested in Maryland, evaluated him before his death and gave the OK for his suicide. Network members are in¥structed to buy two new helium tanks and a hood, or Òexit bag,Ó according to the GBI. In court papers, investigators said the or¥ganization recommends helium dence and violating the stateÕs                                               Editor in Chief: Jillian Sheridan Phone: (512) 232-2212 E-mail: editor@dailytexanonline.com Associate Editors: Jeremy Burchard David Muto Roberto Cervantes Dan Treadway OPINION Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Lauren Winchester THE DAILY TEXAN GALLERY Only the joke candidate gets the joke Last week, as thousands of students cast votes in the Student Government elections, 630 voters picked Aaron Walther to become their next Supreme Student Ruler. WaltherÕs satirical, Texas Travesty¥backed campaign for SG president, which essentially called for a draconian Sovi¥et dictatorship, included promises to end dorm visiting hours and give AK-47s to all professors. On Election Day, his campaign received almost 7 percent of the vote and failed to qualify for the runoff in which Mi¥nator Azemi and Justin Stein will compete against Scott Parks and Muneezeh Kabir. Walther received hundreds of votes and probably more media attention than the other campaigns because his rhetoric and campaign were only a partial caricature of how absurd and deluded the ÒseriousÓ campaigns are. WaltherÕs promises are not much more reasonable or realistic than the other can¥didatesÕ. For example, Walther promised to end dorm visitation hours to prevent coitus, which he deemed inefficient. Simi¥larly, the other campaigns plan to work to¥ward making housing affordable and im¥proving dorm life. Both promises imply the SG executive has significant influence over dorm policies Ñ and are equally un¥likely to show any tangible results. While the Azemi-Stein campaignÕs better¥sorry-than-safe approach to campaign rules showed a propensity for ignoring dorm pol¥icy by fliering thousands of dorm rooms Ñ a cunning act that probably pleased the Supreme Student Leader Ñ seeing SG leaders play a major role in lowering dorm prices is unlikely. Walther promised to make firearms mandatory while the other candidates were looking to push campus handgun restrictions and campus safety issues. He said he would institute calisthenics while other campaigns said they will work hard on student health issues. The only real difference is that Walther made promises on specific is¥sues, whereas the runoff campaigns are sticking to abstractions, probably to avoid specific benchmarks on which they can later be judged. Obviously, a satirical candidate can make promises he canÕt keep, but that does not excuse the vagueness of both runoff candidatesÕ platforms. Perhaps the lack of specificity indicates that the cam¥paigns recognize the institutional useless¥ness of their prospective positions as much as students do. WaltherÕs vice-presidential candidate, Lara Grant, critiqued the lack of female representation in the campaigns. Grant frequently said that she couldnÕt be presi¥dent because she cannot grow a mustache, and that leaders must have mustaches. While not directed at a specific campaign, it draws attention to the fact that only nine of the 24 candidates for campus-wide posi¥tions were women, despite the University having a majority of female students. WaltherÕs campaign resonated with so many students because it was exactly like the other campaigns, only his was more creative and Ñ unlike the other candidates Ñ he knew the whole thing was a joke. Luippold is a government junior. Daily Texan Columnist By Cameron Ingram Innovative learning ÒTell me and IÕll forget; show me and I may remem¥ber; involve me and IÕll understand.Ó As this ancient Chinese proverb implies, personal investment is key to learning. At a large public university such as UT, how¥ever, the bottom line for many undergraduates pre¥vails: Earn the credits, snatch the diploma and launch headfirst into the workforce. A strict vocational fixation, however, undermines any real relationship to an edu¥cation. Another more modern saying comes to mindÑ DÕs get degrees. In an increasingly globalized economy, it is neces¥sary to start cultivating oneÕs career as soon as possi¥ble in order to stay competitive, but a lot is sacrificed with this mentality. In an effort to rush through an in¥stitution that is meant to serve as an intellectual incu¥bator, certain vital qualities are never developed in stu¥dents. In addition to this approach is the one of special¥ization. Are the different schools within a university as mutually exclusive as we assume, or would an integra¥tive framework work better? I discussed these matters with Dr. Richard Cher¥witz, director of Intellectual Entrepreneurship, part of the portfolio of the Office of the Vice President for Diversity and Community Engagement. IE is a pro¥gram, or as Cherwitz defines it, an Òintercollegial con¥sortium,Ó which harnesses the resources of a wide ar¥ray of schools to Òeducate Ôcitizen-scholarsÕ Ñ indi¥viduals who creatively utilize their intellectual capi¥tal as a lever for social good.Ó Above all, the program is meant to get students to understand the connection between what they are studying and how they can apply it to the world around them in a constructive, civically conscious way. One of the many components of IE is its Pre-Grad¥uate School Internship, which pairs an undergrad¥uate student with a graduate mentor who nurtures and helps sculpt his or her pupilÕs education, prim¥ing the student for graduate school and beyond. Ac¥cording to Cherwitz, relationships such as this pro¥vide students with Ògreater ownership of educa¥tionÓ and help to promote Òself-definition.Ó Sim¥ilar IE campaigns work to get students to Ònot equate accountability with measurement to the test.Ó With looming budget cuts and tuition hikes, maybe interest should be focused more on making studentsÕ dollars go further, and less on turnover. Investigating further, I spoke with senior Alex Au, whose fledgling organization Selfish Teachers innova¥tively provides students with an outlet to reinforce what theyÕre learning in classes by letting them teach the con¥tent themselves. Au relayed his rationale by saying, ÒA lot of responsibilities in class follow structures already laid out. [Selfish Teachers] provides personal responsi¥bilities.Ó To teach something on oneÕs own helps a stu¥dent synthesize what theyÕve learned while enriching the other participants. The chosen topic doesnÕt even have to be curriculum-oriented; it could just be whatev¥er he or she finds interesting and would like to share. In this way, students are given the chance to learn some¥thing not to be tested on it, but rather to demonstrate deep understanding of a topic. These endeavours are vitalizing. To know that energy is being spent both at the administrative and student levels to enrich studentsÕ University experience outside the class¥room motivates me to crawl out of my apathetic daze and actually work to alter what I feel merits changing.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 NEWS PERMIT: Input from students needed, says representative From page 1 needs to be a parking permit plan that applies throughout the area. The neighborhoods most affect¥ed by the parking plan would be Shoal Crest, the North University Neighborhood Association and Caswell Heights, he said. Donovan said the city has de¥signed a map, which should be made available this week, to illus¥trate where parking meters and permits will reside in the Uni¥versity Neighborhood Overlay District. The overlay ordinance, passed in 2004, allowed devel¥opers to build past height entitle¥ments if they agreed to redevelop the sidewalks surrounding their project and to not link parking¥space and apartment leasing. Santo Brocato, Student Gov¥ernment external representative to the UAP, said there is still a lot of room to refine the plan. He said at the meeting that it is necessary to have student in¥put in the process since students will be the most affected. He sug¥gested to the group Tuesday that student forums be held sometime between the end of March and the third week of April. Before the plan can be present¥ed, the group agreed that how much revenue the meters could make, who could receive residen¥tial parking permits and what ar¥eas of West Campus would be af¥fected need to be clarified. The Parking Benefit District planÕs goal is to fund sidewalks and other street improvements for the West Campus area through revenue generated by parking meters installed throughout the area, said Mike McHone, a UAP member and major supporter of the plan. However, the depletion of free parking spots could affect residents of the area who depend on street-level parking. ÒThere is never going to be adequate parking. There isnÕt [enough parking] now for every¥one that lives here,Ó McHone said at TuesdayÕs meeting. ÒThere has to be some accommodation, but the goal is to give enough park¥ing that it isnÕt extreme hardship, and at the same time discourage people from bringing cars here looking for free parking.Ó The city ofAustin first required adequate onsite parking in 1956. Anything built prior to 1956, in¥cluding many single and multi¥family homes, some co-ops and older apartment complexes, will be eligible and will have first pri¥ority for residential parking per¥mits in the area. However, some property own¥ers believe the number of permits issued may not be enough. ÒThere will be several hundred parking spaces that will be elimi¥nated that people in older build¥ings have customarily used over the years, but what guarantee or insurance will there be that pri¥vate parking garages will lease them space?Ó asked Maurice Van Emburgh, the resident manager of Holloway Apartments at 25th and Nueces streets. ÒThere could be a couple hundred people that have [the ability to park] in West Campus that will literally have no options to park. Where will they go at that point?Ó ARCHIVE: Work process garners student interest From page 1 right, and his books and essays have been and continue to be ex¥tremely influential,Ó Schwartz¥burg said. ÒThere will be a lot of interest in his work and composi¥tion process because heÕs formal¥ly very innovative and has a dis¥tinctive voice in contemporary American fiction.Ó Schwartzburg said she wants to emphasize that students are important to the research com¥munity and would like to see at least one student thesis come out of the collection. Elizabeth Wong, a Plan II and textiles and apparel senior who has studied Wallace for years, said she plans on going to the center to view his collection as soon as it available. ÒHis writing is intensely en¥joyable and challenging to read,Ó Wong said. ÒOnce you get through it, you appreciate the ge¥nius that wrote it.Ó Students educate peers on dating violence By Ayesha Dadabhoy Daily Texan Staff ÒStand Up, Speak OutÓ fea¥tured a series of student perfor¥mances Tuesday night to draw attention to the dangers of cy¥berbullying, stalking and inter¥personal violence. For three hours in the East MallÕs Laboratory Theater Build¥ing, students acted out scenes de¥picting various acts of violence and bullying. Audience members were allowed to pause the actions of the performers and manipu¥late the events onstage to dem¥onstrate how to avoid becom¥ing a victim of domestic violence. ÒStand Up, Speak OutÓ is a col¥laboration between the Changing Lives Youth Theater Ensemble and Voices Against Violence and is sponsored by the Department of Theatre and Dance. According to the UT Counsel¥ing and Mental Health Center, cases of harassment and stalking on campus manifest themselves in verbal, emotional and physi¥cal forms. Jane Bost, associate director of the Counseling and Mental Health Center, said domestic vi¥olence is a significant problem among students. ÒIt is definitely a problem on all college campuses. The 16 to 24 age group is a prime [demo¥graphic] for relationship vio¥lence,Ó Bost said. A 2006 Texas Council on Family Violence survey found that three out of four 16- to 24-year-old Tex¥ans have personally experienced dating violence or know someone who has. Young Texans are much more likely to be scared by or wor¥ried about more tangible behav¥iors such as explosive temper or physical harm than early warn¥ing signs of relationship abuse, ac¥cording to the survey. IÕve realized how much we minimize ÔÔsigns of violence in our culture.Ó Ñ Lynn Hoare Voices Against Violence specialist and trainer Lynn Hoare, a specialist and trainer for Voices Against Vio¥lence, said society tends to dis¥miss the early signs of danger in relationships, including ver¥bal criticism and possessive be¥havior. ÒIÕve realized how much we minimize signs of violence in our culture,Ó Hoare said. ÒWhen we talk about violence, we ex¥pect to see something physical [or verbal], something that has reached an extreme situation.Ó Bost said people tend to deny that the problem exists, blame the victim or decide not to get involved. Voices Against Violence members are trained to educate, build awareness and promote interactive dialogue with audi¥ences, according to the groupÕs Web site. Theater and dance senior Rodney Richardson said that through his involvement in Voices Against Violence, he has learned violence can be verbal and digital, not just physical. Ò[I want the audience to have] an enlightened aware¥ness of the things that are nor¥malized but unhealthy for rela¥tionships and [know] what to do when they find themselves in unhealthy situations,Ó Rich¥ardson said. ÒStand Up, Speak OutÓ en¥courages audience members to actively participate in the pro¥duction, giving the audience more control than they might have in real-life situations, Hoare said. ÒI want [our audience] to leave with an understanding that if they feel uncomfortable in a relationship there probably is something wrong, and that it is OK to speak up,Ó she said.

In the circle, she always looks like sheÕs in control of the game, and off the field itÕs uncommon for her to crack a smile. But just when the Longhorns thinks sheÕs always holding the winning hand, sheÕll pull the joker out unexpectedly. ÒTypically sheÕs pretty quiet,Ó head coach Connie Clark said.

ItÕs not exactly an attribute any team wants to be character¥ized by when heading into conference and league cham¥pionship tournaments, but thatÕs the way it is this season for the Longhorns. The Horns come into the Big 12 tournament to¥night fresh off their eighth loss of the season, which was handed to them last Saturday by Baylor. After the game, the players were stressed and fatigued, a feeling theyÕve become fa¥miliar with during the sec¥ond half of the season. Since losing their first game to Kansas State on Jan. 18, TexasÕ record is 6-8. But, as senior forward Damion James said after every single loss this year, Òthe past is the past,Ó and the Longhorns are looking forward to the climax of the year Ñ the postseason. ItÕs understandable for teams to block out negativ¥ity and lackluster losses to not let them affect future games, but when a team gets pounded on a week¥ly basis, how many times can players be rejuve¥nated? How many more times can life be pumped back into this teamÕs sys¥tem? How many more times will Dexter Pitt¥man flex his muscles in the pre-game and really mean it? Ever since that loss in Manhattan, Kan., in the middle of January, the Longhorns have been dig¥ging their own grave. Care¥less and poor performances have plagued this seeming¥ly talented team. If they can truly put Òthe past in the pastÓ and learn from the regular seasonÕs mistakes instead of repeating them, maybe the Horns will have a decent run in the upcom¥ing tournaments, but that type of resurgence remains to be seen. The Big 12 and NCAA tournaments are consid¥ered to be brand new sea¥sons, a time for teams who have been down in the dumps to make come¥backs and upset higher ranked teams projected to win. ÒItÕs a new season,Ó James said after TexasÕ win SEASON continues on page 8 Practices start to answer questions By Chris Tavarez Daily Texan Staff After SaturdayÕs scrimmage, Texas head coach Mack Brown and the rest of the staff were able to figure out a few more things about next yearÕs team. ÒWe had a great scrimmage on Saturday,Ó Brown said. ÒIt was very physical. We got a whole lot done, and it answered some ques¥tions for us.Ó Today, Texas will have its last scrimmage before spring break, which will serve as the midway point between the first and sec¥ond halves of the semester. To¥dayÕs scrimmage will be a unique one, though, because it will only be open to select faculty. ÒThe guys have invited one of their favorite professors to the scrimmage tomorrow, so theyÕll watch the scrimmage and then have dinner with the guys,Ó Brown said. After this afternoonÕs scrim¥mage, the players will be free for spring break, and they return to practice the Monday after the break. The spring game is sched¥uled for 4 p.m. Sunday, April 4. On the road again Earlier this offseason, the NCAA created a new rule that would put the same recruiting restrictions on a designated head coach-in-wait¥ing as a current head coach. That means TexasÕ current defensive coordinator and head coach-in¥waiting, Will Muschamp, wonÕt be allowed to make more than one off-campus visit, and it canÕt be done during the spring evalu¥ation period. This came as a huge blow Eric Ou | Daily Texan Staff Running back Vondrell McGee carries the ball during spring practice Tuesday. Texas looks to improve its run game this spring. to Texas because it was Mus¥champÕs aggressive attitude on the recruiting trail that helped bring in Jordan Hicks and Jack¥son Jeffcoat, two of the top four recruits in the nation. But Tuesday, the NCAA gave a one-year reprieve from that rule, freeing up Muschamp for the next year. ÒWe still would like to see the rule changed back to like it was, where, in our case, coach Mus¥champ can do his duties as a de¥fensive coordinator,Ó Brown said. ÒWe donÕt think itÕs fair for him and our staff to be hurt because of something in the future.Ó The NCAAÕs rule on desig¥nated future head coaches only affects two schools: Texas and Maryland. The other schools who had coaches-in-waiting, such as Oregon, Florida State and Kentucky, all hired their coaches-in-waiting. ÒThe people that brought it up, IÕm sure, donÕt understand that it would be a detriment for [Mus¥champ] will not to be able to go out and recruit,Ó Brown said. ÒThereÕs not an advantage for him going out to recruit. We feel like that, probably, there was a misunderstanding with the peo¥ple that put it forth.Ó WhereÕs Whaley? Bowling over the defense, thatÕs where. Chris Whaley signed to Tex¥as as one of the most sought-af¥ter running backs in the class of 2009 but struggled with inju¥ries last year and never saw the field.

The Horns tried to bunt twice with runners in scoring position but couldnÕt find a hole thanks to excellent timing from the BobcatsÕ de¥fense. The first attempt was in the bottom of the seventh when Jordan Etier couldnÕt push a 3-1 bunt far enough away from Bobcat first baseman Kyle Liv¥ingstone to score Kyle Lusson. The second time, an inning lat¥er, Russell Moldenhauer failed to get Brandon Loy to third with two on and nobody out. In the end, Texas didnÕt need either one. Instead, the Longhorns got a string of hits in the bottom of the eighth inning, capped off by a two-run single from pinch hitter Paul Montalbano to score Jonathan Walsh and Kevin Lus¥son and take a one-run lead. ÒHe squares up more balls than anybody in practice, and I have so much confidence in him because he hits the ball hard to all parts of the field,Ó head coach Augie Garrido said. It was the second time in less than a week Montalbano came to the plate with an opportu¥nity to give Texas the lead. On Saturday, MontalbanoÕs 2-1 line drive to Cougar shortstop Blake Kelso was inches away from go¥ing into left center field to score Cameron Rupp from second. This time Montalbano came through, and he did it with one thing on his mind.

MENÕS TENNIS Kutrovsky finds redemption in impressive win By Rishi Daulat Daily Texan Staff All signs were pointing to a Dimitar Kutrovsky slump. The Bulgarian senior had lost his past two singles match¥es against Duke and SMU. He also had a poor service game in the doubles session against Virginia when he and Josh Za¥vala, the ITA No. 4 doubles duo, were down 8-7. They ul¥timately lost the match and a crucial point to VirginiaÕs No. 21 doubles team, Michael Sha¥baz and Drew Courtney. After the doubles loss, Kutrovsky had to face the No. 2-ranked singles player in the country, Shabaz, and came out victorious. ÒDimi struggled against the Duke freshman on Friday Ñ his confidence was a little down Ñ and then he didnÕt serve well in the doubles against Virginia and got bro¥ken to lose the match,Ó Texas assistant coach Ricardo Rubio said. ÒCoach Center spoke to him before his singles match against Virginia and told him he didnÕt want to see him with his head down. He got the win over the No. 2 player in the country, and the win was great for his confidence and put him back on track. It just shows how close together the top players are; if someoneÕs having an off-day, anybody can beat anybody.Ó On top of the huge win, No. 7 Kutrovsky was also named Big 12 Player of the Week. The Texas coaches hope KutrovskyÕs confidence will carry over to their midweek match at home Wednesday against No. 19 Florida State. The Texas lineup also fea¥tures No. 10 Ed Corrie at the second singles spot. The Long¥horns are stacked at doubles as well; besides No. 4 Kutrovsky and Zavala, Jean Andersen and Daniel Whitehead are the No. 19 duo and juniors Corrie and Kellen Damico team up as the No. 22 doubles tandem.

That victory occurred dur¥ing TexasÕ 17-0 spurt. But now times have changed, and even though the Cyclones are 4-12 in conference play, they took No. 2 seed Kansas State to overtime last Saturday in Manhattan and won 85-82. If Texas beats Iowa State to¥night, they will play Baylor on Thursday at 8:30 p.m., mean¥ing a potential four-game los¥ing streak against Baylor. But if Texas gets past Bay¥lor, they could play Kansas State, who will have a tremen¥dous home-crowd advantage, in the semifinals Friday, assum¥ing the Wildcats beat the win¥ner of Oklahoma versus Okla¥homa State. home-crowd advantage, in the hope his his team comes ready Then, if Texas beats Kan-finals Saturday. to play. sas State, it will most like-Tournament season provides ÒWe canÕt hang our heads,Ó ly get a second chance to play no rest for the weary, so head freshman guard JÕCovan Brown Kansas, who will also have a coach Rick Barnes can only said. ÒWe gotta play.Ó HORNS: Running game improving this spring From page 7 in attendance into choruses of ÒoohsÓ and Òahhs,Ó with big stiff-arms and punishing hits to would-be tacklers. His perfor¥mance certainly caught the eyes of Texas coaches, who are look¥ing to establish a more dominant running game to help take some pressure of first-year starter Gar¥rett Gilbert. ÒChris [Whaley] is doing a good job,Ó Brown said. ÒWeÕre try¥ing to play him and Cody [John¥son] at tailback and a little at the H-back. WeÕd like to see what both of them have this spring at tailback. Chris had some good runs. All of our backs are in better shape right now because weÕre giving them a better chance with downhill runs. We just have to see how Chris progresses.Ó Back to the Future Just like Doc Brown, coach BrownÕs focus is on the future. While heÕs certainly concerned with the current state of the team, he also emphasized the impor¥tance of looking at who can con¥tribute two years down the line. Brown especially focused on the future with the offensive line, which will be down three starters next year because of graduation. ÒBoth offensive lines are get¥ting better. TheyÕre doing a good job,Ó Brown said. ÒWe see some progress, and we would like to play two deep because weÕll lose a lot of the first-team guys next year, and in two years, we need to be ready for guys to step in. We feel like two deep in that po¥sition is very critical.Ó RALLY: Texas overcomes dominant Bobcat pitching From page 7 ÒNot to strike out, thatÕs what I was thinking about,Ó Montal¥bano said. ÒI just wanted to get a base hit and help the team. I got pretty lucky this time.Ó It was the one bit of luck the Longhorns had against a domi¥nant performance from Bobcat starter Carson Smith, who threw seven complete innings, giving up one run on five hits while striking out eight Texas batters. ÒHe was slinging it pretty good, about 93, and it was mov¥ing a bit,Ó said third baseman Kevin Lusson, who walked be¥fore Montalbano came to the plate in the eighth. ÒIt was kind of frustrating in the beginning.Ó Lusson was the first to hit Smith hard when he doubled to left field, scoring Kevin Keyes. ÒIt was a big momentum swing,Ó Lusson said. ÒI felt a lit¥tle pressure after my first two at bats, so I just went up there and relaxed. He left a fastball up, and I took advantage of it.Ó The Bobcats struck first off Longhorn starting pitcher Austin Dicharry when Bret Atwood sin¥gled to left and stole second base. Livingstone later drove him in with a single through the left side before Jason Martinson doubled to left center scoring Atwood. Dicharry gave up three runs, two earned, on five hits in seven innings, and while his stuff was working, he didnÕt have much help offensively. ÒYou canÕt worry about those things, you just have to bat¥tle,Ó Dicharry said. ÒOur guys squared up on a lot of balls, they just didnÕt fall.Ó It was TexasÕ second come¥from-behind win in a row, some¥thing that will help the Horns later in the season. ÒIt gives them a sense of nev¥er being out of it,Ó Garrido said. ÒThe ÔXÕ in Texas, no matter the team, is right over the heart, and thatÕs the bullÕs-eye that every¥one is aiming at.Ó LUNA: Ace becomes ÔmultidimensionalÕ From page 7 The season is going according to LunaÕs high-standard plan. ÒI want to be an All-American [this year],Ó Luna said. ÒI want to be freshman of the year, too.Ó Luna has quickly emerged as the LonghornsÕ ace of the pitch¥ing staff in her first year on the team. The former Bowie High School standout has been a ma¥jor force for the Longhorns and leads the team with 103 strike¥outs in just 13 appearances. However, Luna will be the first to tell you that there is still room for improvement on and off the diamond. ÒIÕm learning a lot,Ó Luna said. Ò[College] is more de¥manding the high school, so IÕm learning how to manage my time. IÕd like to get better on defense, too.Ó ÒBlaire is doing a much a bet¥ter job of being multidimen¥sional,Ó Clark said. ÒWith fresh¥man, you have to keep tak¥ing the positive things and move forward.Ó LunaÕs laid-back and even¥keel personality may be the key to her pitching success. Whether sheÕs in the midst of a perfect game or stuck in a jam with the bases loaded, Luna manages to keep her cool de¥spite being just a freshman. ÒShe just goes about her busi¥ness,Ó Clark said. ÒWeÕll tease [Luna], asking her if sheÕs awake or if sheÕll be okay for the morn¥ing game. SheÕs pretty even keel all the time.Ó ÒI think thatÕs what helps her stay cool in the circle,Ó Clark said. Her family also plays a big role in that. Being an Austin na¥tive and having played at Bowie High School gives her a person¥al home-field advantage. ÒMy parents come to a lot of my games,Ó Luna said. ÒItÕs my teammates, though, that keep me comfortable here.Ó Luna will likely see plenty of the circle during TexasÕ double¥header against UTEP. The first game kicks off at 5 p.m. with the second following at 7 p.m. The Miners (15-6) will try to derail the hot Longhorns (17-3), who have climbed to No. 14 in the national rankings. And they have their straight¥faced freshman pitcher to thank for that.

Ò$45 SMART TX School f/t Blind and STREET TEAM From page 1 He moved from the Record to the Detroit News and then to the San Francisco Examiner, which enabled him to travel to places such as El Salvador to capture history on film. Magnum no¥ticed him at one of his photo ex¥hibits in New York, and he be¥came a nominee for the cooper¥ative. After his five-year appli¥cation process, he became a full Magnum member in 1988. David Coleman, the Harry Ransom CenterÕs photo cura¥tor, says he first noticed ReedÕs work when he was putting to¥gether an exhibition on El Salva¥dor about two years ago. ÒHe had this amazing im¥age of families looking at these books of people be about people who had disap-installing porta¥peared in El Sal-ble toilets.

HeÕs really ratives. What be¥good with peo-gins with him ple, and I think he breaks through that barri¥er of being an anonymous pho¥tographer and becomes a person to somebody else. You can relate to him, and he can relate to you very easily.Ó When asked how he manag¥es to get so close to his subjects, Reed simply grinned and attrib¥uted it to awareness. ÒPeople in much earlier times, when things were a lot more prim¥itive, had to be super aware,Ó Reed says with a chuckle. ÒNow, there are some people in certain occu¥pations who have to be aware, too. Cops have got to be super-aware. Crooks have got to be aware. You, the photographer or journalist, have to be aware, you know?Ó Teaching people to observe often requires Reed to form his own unique curriculum. Wheth¥er itÕs asking his photojournal¥ism students to do a photo essay on the economy, a poem or Meat LoafÕs 1977 hit album Bat Out of Hell, he challenges his students to think about the conceptual aspects of photography rather than just the techniques. ÒI feel the majority of photog¥raphers take pictures of some¥thing,Ó says Bill Reeves, a for¥mer student of ReedÕs and an advertising graduate student. ÒEli takes photos about some¥thing. The average photograph is a very descriptive picture, but thereÕs an emotional content thatÕs lacking. When you look at his work from Nigeria, it could grabbing a cou¥ple of sheets of paper to crop a studentÕs photo into a more inti¥mate portrait often evolves into a series of stories that not only instruct but allow him to con¥nect with his students. In the middle of telling a story about working on ÒA Beautiful MindÓ with Russell Crowe or meeting Liberian warlord Gen¥eral Butt Naked after he repent¥ed for killing thousands of peo¥ple, Reed will suddenly snap portraits of studentsÕ laughter or rapt attention. ÒWith Eli, thereÕs no monkey¥ing around in the dark room,Ó says Jimmy Stewart, a noted jazz guitarist and friend of ReedÕs. ÒHeÕs like a jazz musician of THE DAILY TEXAN C L ASSIFIEDS photographers. When he shoots, heÕs seeing something we donÕt see, and then he tries to dupli¥cate what he sees.Ó No matter what, he always re¥mains true to his vision. ItÕs just one of the many aspects of his personal¥ity that allow him to get close to his subjects for a memorable shot. ÒFilm takes you someplace, but you have to be fearless. Are you going to accept whatÕs ac¥ceptable, or are you going to en¥gage not just [yourself] but the rest of the world?Ó Reed says. ÒThe thing about photojournal¥ists is, youÕre the guy or girl who went out and saw the world and drew those images on the cave about what the hunt was about. WeÕre all cavemen.Ó Sara Young, a sociol¥ogy senior, meets with Eli Reed to talk about their ongo¥ing photography projects at Spider House last semester. Young is just one of the many students whom Reed has worked with in his time at UT.

Grade: D Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PC, Xbox 360, PS3) When I spent February play¥ing the Bad Company 2 multi¥player demo more than any oth¥er game, I knew the full retail ex¥perience was going to be some¥thing special. It seemed like commercial suicide to release yet another military shooter in the wake of Modern Warfare 2, but DICEÕs latest has enough personality, great ideas and stunning graphical touches to satisfy anyone who likes a good shooter. The single-player cam¥paign isnÕt quite up to the stan¥dard set by Modern Warfare 2, but it makes up for it with non¥linear battlegrounds that reward strategy and experimentation, much like the Halo series. The real saving grace is the dialogue Ñ listening to your hilariously incompetent squad bicker about who stole the sergeantÕs hand moisturizer during mortal com¥bat gives these soldiers person¥ality and makes the campaign a lot more fun. The real draw is the multiplayer, which has the perfect mix of depth, rewards and varied play styles that will give it legs for some time.

By Francisco Marin Daily Texan Staff Pearl Harbor is about as chill as they come. Piper Ka¥plan and her 16-year-old pro¥digious sister Skylar make up the core of Pearl Harbor, a Los Angeles band that makes American ApparelÕs flea market offers up cheap, colorful deals By Victoria Heckenlaible Daily Texan Staff Boxes of colorful hot shorts and not-so-basic T-shirts hung on racks will be on sale next week for South by Southwest crowds to take a shopping break. Austin will host the ÒAmer¥ican Apparel Factory Flea Market: SXSWÓ for the sec¥ond year in a row at the Mex¥ican-American Cultural Cen¥ter. American Apparel will music somewhere on the spectrum between Ariel Pink and Best Coast. Though the band is relatively young and has released just a smatter¥ing of singles, Pearl Harbor has already managed to win the hearts of lo-fi aficionados with PiperÕs moody, rich vo¥cals and SkylarÕs shimmery guitar work. The Daily Texan spoke with Piper in anticipation of Pearl HarborÕs SXSW debut next week about home recordings, half-asleep dreaming and her potential dream date. The Daily Texan: Hi Piper, be selling its wholesale and over-stocked items with pric¥es starting at $1 Ñ up to 85 percent off factory rummage. ÒYou can find anything you could find at the store here [at the Flea Market],Ó said Jenni Meissner, manager of the Amer¥ican Apparel store on the Drag. Even though the stock will be replenished throughout the week, Meissner said itÕs best to arrive early. ÒJust be ready to have your arms full of stuff,Ó she said. Apart from fashion, Ameri¥can ApparelÕs Viva Radio will be providing music. Radio per¥sonality Tedward will be em¥how are you doing? Piper Kaplan: IÕm good, man, IÕm good. How are you, Francisco?

DT: So youÕre coming, along with Skylar, to Austin for South by Southwest. How are you feeling about that? PK: WeÕre pretty pumped, man. ItÕs our first venture outside of California with the band Ñ weÕll see how that ceeing the event along with mu¥sic from disc jockeys CFCF and Glen. Meissner said part of the fun is dancing to music. One blogger, Lucy in the Sky, shares a few more tips to keep your shopping experience from becoming chaotic. ÒAlways, always, always check for holes, stains and de¥fects,Ó she wrote. During her previous shopping trip, she ac¥cidentally bought a pair of two¥toned tights with holes in it. Though the flea market accepts cash, credit or deb¥it, she writes, ÒBring cash.Ó The cash-only lines are often quicker and shorter. pans out. DT: How long are you in town for?

StudentÕs sex life has taken her from webcams to BDSM By Mary Lingwall EditorÕs Note: This is the final part in the series profiling sex lives across campus. All names have been changed to ensure the safety of the subjects. Most people donÕt begin their sexual exploration through live video streaming from a Web site. But for Sonya, what most people do is boring. When Sonya was 14, her sav¥vy tech skills quickly led her to the conclusion that one could eas¥ily make money by marketing her body via webcam to paying cus¥tomers on the Internet. ÒI had a series of Web sites from age 14 to when I started college,Ó Sonya said. ÒInitially they were, like, non-nude, teasing type things, but it quickly progressed. It didnÕt take long for me to get pressured to keep doing more and taking off more for more money.Ó Officially under the auspices of an older peer, SonyaÕs site soon be¥came financially rewarding. ÒI charged $50 for 20 minutes of live webcam teasing,Ó Sonya said. ÒAnd $29.95 for a member¥ship, which included pictures, videos and free access to my we¥bcam shows. IÕd say I averaged about $30,000 a year, which is ri¥diculous for a 15-year-old. ItÕs a wonder that I never went to jail.Ó Before long, Sonya stumbled upon female-domination niche sites and figured out a way to make her online profits become even more lucrative. ÒI didnÕt even have to get na¥ked anymore,Ó Sonya said. ÒAt that point it was just about treat¥ing men like shit and forcing them to send me money, which is really fun for a while. But then I decided that this just didnÕt really make me feel good about myself.Ó Webcam aside, more palpable sexual exploration was just as sig¥nificant to SonyaÕs coming of age. At 14, Sonya wanted to get her vir¥ginity Òout of the way,Ó and after a little strategic planning and a week¥end trip for her parents, she did it. ÒSex had been hyped up so much for me that I simply had to experience this Ôamazing pleasureÕ for myself,Ó Sonya said. ÒIt seemed so huge [and] I just wanted to see what the big deal was ... Obvious¥ly, my first time was pretty anticli¥mactic. I expected it to be a purely physical experience.Ó Intellectual opportunities during her time in college made Sonya re¥consider her sex-industry begin¥nings. She took up an active inter¥est in dissecting the gender pow¥er structure and the overwhelming male-dominated interest of the in¥dustry that she had been a part of during her early youth. ÒWhen I came to college, I took a few womenÕs and gender studies classes, and that was the first time I had ever heard about feminism in a positive light,Ó Sonya said. ÒAnd I became interested in radi¥cal feminism and found more cre¥ative ways for me to express myself away from just my body.Ó But over time, SonyaÕs own sex¥ual proclivities had brought her full circle. As she matured sexually, So¥nya realized that her own personal desires didnÕt quite fit in the main¥stream conception of sex. ÒIÕm pretty kinky,Ó Sonya said. ÒAnd I guess by kinky I mean Ñ well, I donÕt know exactly what is going on in other peopleÕs bed¥rooms Ñ that I am very, very sub¥missive. I can play switch for sure, but I donÕt want to. And it is very powerful and very cathartic for me, you know, to be in control of my own degradation.Ó SonyaÕs kinkier interests in her own sex life have piqued a re¥newed interest in the sex industry, especially after learning about non¥mainstream representations of fe¥male sexual pleasure. ÒRight now I am pretty ob¥sessed with Kink.com, and I would really love to work with them,Ó Sonya said. ÒThey are so progres¥sive, [it] blows my mind. What I love about them is that before the video, you see the female porn performer explaining what is about to happen, what her fanta¥sy is, and then after the scene, she tells the camera [how] she feels about what just happened. And thatÕs awesome to me.Ó Kink.com is a niche site that acts as a hub for a variety of BDSM pornography providers on the Web. While the imagery and con¥tent of the videos are shocking and outright offensive to many people, this alternative lifestyle offers a safe outlet for exploration to a growing number of people, including Sonya. ÒI think the reason that I am so intrigued by [domination and sub¥mission] is because it seems that kind of sex has more integrity, just because it demands such a high level of trust,Ó Sonya said. ÒYou have to trust someone and know that they care about you enough to be comfortable in this zone where almost anything goes. And trust is HUMP continues on page 11 Shooters provide gamers with ammo-filled thrills By Allistair Pinsof Daily Texan Staff Aliens vs. Predator (PC, Xbox 360, PS3) ItÕs as if 10 years of game de¥sign never happened. You run from one empty corridor to the next, only to watch a predictable scenario play out. This wouldnÕt be so unforgivable if the same developer, Rebellion, hadnÕt ex¥ecuted the same concepts under the same title twice before, both of which were more inspired games in their respective times. ItÕs not that this latest update is a terrible game; itÕs just bad in comparison to everything else that is out there. Oh, but thereÕs more! You are able to relive those memorable Predator fistfights against Aliens in the jungle (if a couple of trees and a bunch of rocks make a jungle), where each party continuously blocks until given a key moment to execute a gruesome decapitation anima¥tion. The AliensÕ campaign is a bit more original, playing like a stealth game if nausea were the goal rather than tension. Devel¥opers also added a multiplayer mode that, more often than not, finds players hitting the instant¥kill button that launches a long animation, giving everyone else the opportunity to do the same to you. This results in hilarious conga lines of death. If you are a fan of the franchise, AvP wonÕt be a complete waste of time. ItÕs GAMES continues on page 11 Swift rides pop success into Austin concert By Layne Lynch Daily Texan Staff One acclaimed 20-year-old woman will command the stage at the Frank Erwin Center to¥night with her southern-belle charm, a week before thousands of music lovers and numerous unconventional bands arrive in Austin for the South by South¥west music festival. Since her self-titled debut, Tay¥lor Swift has been riding a train of success and fame. Last year alone proved to be an interesting year for Swift Ñ can anyone say Kanye West and Taylor Lautner? However, Swift is more than a girl who was interrupted on stage and who dated the were¥wolf from ÒTwilight.Ó Talking about Swift means talking about the whole package. Her wavy golden locks, delicate¥ly thin frame, bubbly personali¥ty and self-proclaimed modes¥ty and innocence have won over fans around the world. And yet, Swift is more than a music artist; she is the embodiment of mod¥ern teenage issues. Hearing SwiftÕs lyrics, listeners reminisce about the days of their first prepubescent love, first trau¥matic heartbreak and the difficul¥ties of being a teenager. ÒAs odd as it may seem, I like her a lot. I think itÕs because all I do is smile when I listen to her,Ó soph¥omore English student Zac Carter said. ÒShe is easy to love. Her songs remind me of the easiest and best parts of love. She delves into why you want to fall in love in the first place, and if she visits a darker top¥ic, it isnÕt in a painful way.Ó Not everyone agrees with Cart¥erÕs assessment of Swift. The hap¥py-go-lucky emotions, eternal op¥timism and the bouts of hopeless¥ness were at first very appealing to journalism sophomore Marco Gal¥van. Now the propensity of her lyrics to always sound the same has proven nauseating for him. ÒAt first, when I heard her mu¥sic, I was in high school thinking, ÔThis is kind of refreshing,ÕÓ Gal¥van said. ÒNow it is the same song but with different lyrics. It is the whole ÔI love you, we belong to¥getherÕ nonsense.Ó Whether or not people love or hate Swift, there is no argument that she has achieved her share of success as an artist, winning al¥bum of the year at the Grammy Awards this year, along with three other Grammys. So before the city is populat¥ed with lesser-known bands and their devoted fans next week, Swift, along with John Mayer, will provide this weekÕs dose of main¥stream music.
