Two non-UT subjects were carrying two metal folding chairs along the 2300 block of San Jacinto Boulevard early Sunday morning when a UTPD officer drove by them. The subjects dropped the chairs and told the officer that they were removing them from an intersection. Both chairs were marked with UT identifiers, and the officer issued both subjects criminal trespass warnings. Quote to note Ô ÒIÕm proud of the way our back line played.

Plenty of places on campus to catch a few By Morgan Williams Daily Texan Staff Napping is an essential part of any daily schedule. For the stu¥dent who endures hour-long breaks between classes or com¥mutes to class, it is limiting to nap only in oneÕs bed. After testing lo¥cations around UT and speak¥ing with students about their on¥campus napping spots, these are the contenders for best non-dorm napping areas. To the untrained eye, Garrison Hall is as good as any of the nu¥merous buildings around cam¥pus for nap time. What makes Garrison special is the plethora of benches. On the first two floors, the benches are long enough to accommodate even the tallest of students, but the real gems are on the third floor and higher. From then on, instead of hard wood, the benches are cushioned with smooth black leather. The only downfall of these is that they are a little short, making it difficult to stretch out. I would not recommend this location to the self-conscious napper Ñ my bench was immediately across NAPS continues on page 11 Illustration by Camri Hinkie Budget cuts counter cost of programs President Powers reports administrative expenses rise in rate over decade By Collin Eaton Daily Texan Staff Four months after UT an¥nounced deep cuts to its nonac¥ademic units, President William Powers Jr. said 5-percent budget cut. But it is unclear how much money came from the administrative costs of those units. Powers said in 1999, former UT President Larry Faulkner initiated a major reorganization of admin¥istrative duties that resulted in the creation of more nonacadem¥ic units and increased costs.

ÒThey want to know that you can do your job.Ó McGuire, who has been a po¥lice officer for two years, said she occasionally receives inappropri¥ate remarks from suspects.

Cindy MestonÕs research focuses on finding out why placebos work for women who have difficulty en¥joying their sex lives. A placebo is not actual medi¥cation, but has a psychological ef¥fect that causes the patient to think they feel better. Meston said be¥cause there is no marketable drug to cure female sexual dysfunction, researchers need to find out why placebos are effective substitutes. The study followed 200 women between the ages of 35 and 55 over a period of 12 weeks. The women were given a placebo instead of a drug and those in charge of the study examined their various responses. Because the placebo effect seems to work so well for women, the Food and Drug Administration has not approved any proposed female sex¥ual dysfunction medication. ÒWe can never get an effect great¥er than placebo, and FDA requires an effect greater than placebo [to advocate creating a new drug],Ó Meston said. Flibanserin, the most recent drug to go up for approval, was rejected in June by the FDA advisory com¥mittee, which cited information about the effectiveness of placebos and certain negative side effects of the drug, according to information provided by FDA spokeswoman Elaine Gansz Bobo. ÒThereÕs nothing in the pipeline that pharmaceutically is going to come up soon, so we need to find a psychological treatment in the meantime and by looking at these placebo responses,Ó Meston said. Ò[They] give us clues to what clini¥cians can do for women.Ó Meston and her assistant, Andrea STUDY continues on page 2 2 NEWS Tuesday, September 21, 2010 THE DAILY TEXAN Volume 111, Number 72 SALARY:Pay raises bring up issue of gender equity 25 cents CONTACT US From page 1 Main Telephone: they are used for.

Their newborn sister already died on the ground inside this steamy shelter at just 4 days old, after the familyÕs escape from vi¥olent floods that drowned a huge swath of Pakistan. Now the girls, ages 1 and 2, are slowly starving, with shriveled arms and legs as fragile as twigs. More than 100,000 children left homeless by PakistanÕs floods are in danger of dying because they simply do not have enough to eat, according to UNICEF. Chil¥dren already weak from living on too little food in poor rural ar¥eas before the floods are fighting to stay alive, as diarrhea, respira¥tory diseases and malaria attack their emaciated bodies. Doctors roaming the 100-de¥gree (38-degree Celsius) camp that reeks of urine and animal manure have warned Bunglani three times to take her children to the hospital, or they will die. The mother says she knows they need help, but she cannot leave the tent without her husbandÕs consent. She must stay until he returns, even if it means risking her daughtersÕ lives. ÒI am waiting for my hus¥band,Ó she says, still fanning flies from the sweating babies. ÒHe is coming.Ó The floodwaters that began swamping a section of Pakistan larger than Florida six weeks ago continue to inundate new areas, forcing even more people to flee. Doctors warn the real catastro¥phe is moving much slower than the murky water. About 105,000 kids younger than 5 are at risk of dying from severe acute malnu¥trition over the next six months, UNICEF estimates. ÒYouÕre seeing children who were probably very close to the brink of being malnourished, and the emergency has just pushed them over the edge,Ó says Erin Boyd, a UNICEF emergency nu¥tritionist working in southern Pakistan. ÒThereÕs just not the ca¥pacity to treat this level of severe acute malnutrition.Ó U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki¥moon has called the flooding the worst he has ever seen. Inside the government-run Railway Hospital in the south¥ern town of Sukkur, deep in Pak¥istanÕs agriculture bread basket, the aid group Doctors Without Borders has already converted one ward into an inpatient feed¥ing center. Some babies weighing a fraction of whatÕs normal wail and gasp on diarrhea-stained sheets, while others wince quietly as if trying to find the strength to cry. Some little cheeks are sunk¥en in. Others have hollow eyes or bottoms that are merely bones covered by folds of scaly, wrin¥kled skin.Janat KhosaÕs 3-year¥old grandson is one of the worst cases in the ward, with chopstick¥thin arms and legs, along with suspected tuberculosis compli¥cating his recovery. ÒHe was well. He was walk¥ing and running before the flood came,Ó Khosa says. ÒAfter the flood he got diarrhea. He did not eat.Ó Age Compensation Requirements Men and Women Up to Healthy 18 to 45 $1800 BMI between 18 and 30 Obama asks for patience on jobs Vincent Yu | Associated Press Pakistani children who survived floods play outside temporary shel¥ters set up for displaced people in southern Pakistan on Monday. By Julie Pace & Liz Sidoti The Associated Press WASHINGTON Ñ President Barack Obama reached out to skep¥tical voters Monday, voters who are still hurting long after the de¥clared end of the recession, implor¥ing them to stick with him in elec¥tions that could inflict catastrophic losses on Democrats. His economic focus could be risky, but Obama has little choice but to talk jobs; doing otherwise would make him look out of touch to a public that overwhelmingly rates unemployment and the re¥covery as top issues. ÒI can describe whatÕs happen¥ing to the economy overall, but if youÕre out of work right now, the only thing that youÕre going to be hearing is, when do I get a job? If youÕre about to lose your home, all youÕre thinking about is, when can I get my home?,Ó he said. His audience at the event spon¥sored by CNBC included large and small business owners, teachers, students and unemployed people. They seemed friendly Ñ he was applauded repeatedly Ñ though several people peppered him with questions that indicated their frus¥tration, if not disillusionment, with his tenure. ÒI voted for a man who said he was going to change things in a meaningful way for the mid¥dle class. I am one of those peo¥ple. And IÕm waiting, Sir. ... I donÕt feel it yet,Ó said Velma Hart, the chief financial officer of AMVETS in Washington, describing how the recession has taken a toll on her family. ÒIs this my new reality? ÒI understand your frustration,Ó Obama responded. ÒMy goal is not to convince you that everything is Timeline where it ought to be. ItÕs not.Ó Still, he added: ÒWeÕre moving in the right direction.Ó ÒThere arenÕt jobs out there right now,Ó countered Ted Brass¥field, 30, a recent law school grad¥uate. He praised Obama for inspir¥ing his generation during 2008 but said that inspiration is dying away. He asked, ÒIs the American dream dead for me?Ó ÒAbsolutely not,Ó Obama re¥sponded. ÒWhat we canÕt do, though, is go back to the same old things that we were doing because weÕve been putting off these prob¥lems for decades.Ó Walter Rowen, the owner of Susquehanna Glass in Columbia, Pa., urged the president to explain his economic policies because the public ÒdoesnÕt getÓ them. ÒYouÕre losing the war of sound bites. YouÕre losing the media cycles.Ó Answered Obama: ÒThe polit¥icizing of so many decisions that are out there has to be toned down. WeÕve got to get back to working together.Ó And Anthony Scaramucci, a hedge fund manager and a Har¥vard Law School classmate of Obama, spoke on behalf of Wall Street, saying: ÒWe have felt like a pinata. Maybe you donÕt feel like youÕre whacking us with a stick, but we certainly feel like weÕve been whacked with a stick.Ó To that, Obama retorted: ÒI think most folks on Main Street feel like they got beat up on.Ó Campaign style, Obama fin¥ished his town hall-like event on the economy and then headed to Pennsylvania to raise money and rally dispirited Democrats for Joe Sestak in a tough Senate race against Republican Pat Toomey. House Republicans said they would roll out a roughly 20-point agenda at a hardware store in sub¥urban Virginia. ÒOnce again, President Obama trotted out the same old worn¥out reassurances on the economy, but Americans are still waiting for the promised recovery that nev¥er arrived,Ó said Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele. Toomey linked Sestak to Obama, faulting both for an agenda ÒthatÕs keeping unemployment highÓ and policies Òthat have prevented us from having the kind of economic recovery that we could and should be having.Ó Unimpressed in advance, the president said, ÒWe have tried what theyÕre offering.Ó Addressing the GOP and tea party candidates, he said, ÒItÕs not enough just to say, ÔGet control of government.ÕÓ The president has just a month and a half to make the case for keeping Democrats in charge in Washington to voters itching for change. He cast Democrats as fighters for the middle class and Republicans as protectors of mil¥lionaires, billionaires and special interests.

Aviva Chomsky, a professor at Salem State College in Massachusetts, spoke about immigration in the U.S. at the Jesse H. Jones Communication Center. She said such issues were brought into the spotlight by the implementation of an Arizona law that allows law en¥forcement officials to request documen¥tation from anyone they suspect might be an undocumented immigrant. ÒThe timing for giving this talk is real¥ly apt now that the DREAM Act is being discussed on national levels,Ó she said. The DREAM Act, which the U.S. Sen¥ate is expected to vote on today, would grant undocumented immigrants citi¥zenship if they enroll in a university or join the military. Spanning a thousand-year history of immigration at her lecture, Chomsky has written several books on the issue, including ÒÔThey Take Our Jobs!Õ: and 20 Other Myths About Immigration,Ó published in 2007. ÒWhat prompted me to publish my book in 2007 was an illogical, unfound¥ed prejudice against immigrants,Ó she said. ÒThe book seemed to have struck a chord with audiences.Ó Chomsky said political boundaries became normal after World War II, caus¥ing a mass migration from poor coun¥tries to the worldÕs economic powers. ÒOur world has moved from a peri¥od where no border controls existed to a period where migration seems neces¥sary and more permanent because the immigrants have such poor living con¥ditions in their home lands and Ameri¥can industries want to keep these work¥ers and exploit them at such a low fare,Ó said Jennifer Hass, a math and commu¥nications studies junior. The Workers Defense Project and nonprofit organization 5604 Manor in¥vited Chomsky to speak. The talk was the first this semester sponsored by the Senior Fellows Program, an hon¥ors program in the College of Commu¥nication that brings in speakers to talk about pressing national issues. Senior Fellows director Dave Junk¥er said the program aims to provide a space within the college to discuss is¥sues of political and social importance and put them into context for students of the College of Communication. ÒImmigration is an issue thatÕs back in the public spotlight,Ó he said. ÒIn light of the recent law in Arizona, itÕs re¥ally great to put it into context in terms of history and globalization.Ó Communication studies junior Jen¥nifer Stadelmann, a Senior Fellows stu¥dent, said the speech broadened her view of immigration. ÒHearing about the origin of immigra¥tion and how we didnÕt have trade bar¥riers, and the differences between immi¥gration then and now really opened my mind to the human values of the issue instead of just competition in American society,Ó Stadelmann said. Government junior Leilani Kelley said that the lecture was a welcome depar¥ture from todayÕs emotionally-charged discourse about immigration. ÒProfessor Chomsky took time to ex¥amine nuances associated with the is¥sue that people tend to overlook or ig¥nore,Ó she said. ÒShe emphasized that we must make our policy decisions carefully, because not only will they af¥fect our economy and international re¥lations, they will also impact the way we view race, human rights and our national identity in the future.Ó Group finds opinions foster moral growth By Anna Fata Daily Texan Staff Faculty and students agree on the importance of respecting diverse ideas on the nationÕs college campus¥es, but disagree about who is doing a better job of fostering an accepting college experience, according to a re¥cent report by a national group of ed¥ucation researchers. Since the fall 2007 semester, the As¥sociation of American Colleges and Universities surveyed students, faculty, advisers and administrators at 23 col¥leges nationwide to get their opinions on how they perceive their campuses based on the five areas outlined by the group. Among the criteria: taking seri¥ously the perspectives of others, devel¥oping academic integrity and a strong work ethic, contributing to a larger community and developing compe¥tence in ethical and moral reasoning. ÒTwenty-first century quality edu¥cation now requires all students to re¥ally have education opportunities to develop their sense of reason,Ó said Caryn McTighe Musil, the groupÕs se¥nior vice president. The association is not focused on teaching right and wrong but on en¥couraging students to develop a sound judgment to support their ethical views, she said. ÒMoral growth involves a series of things from developing empathy for their point of view [to] expressing mor¥al judgment in regards to taking seri¥ously what other people have to say,Ó Musil said. The study showed most faculty be¥lieve their lectures encourage an open discussion of diverse views, while stu¥dents do not find classrooms as an in¥viting place to express their views. While the University of Texas was not included in the study, the trend may also be true on the 40 Acres. Victoria Duyka, an undeclared soph¥omore who transferred from UT-San Antonio, said she agrees with many studentsÕ opinions in the study, adding that TA sessions are largely an excep¥tion to the rule. ÒThere is not really any opportunity to voice your opinion or become inte¥grated in the class,Ó she said. ÒI think the TA sessions [help], but not every class has them. They help with one-on¥one interaction and [are] more under¥standing because they are smaller.Ó Journalism professor Robert Jens¥en said he encourages diversity among his students, while acknowl¥edging that large class sizes make this more difficult. ÒThe healthiest ecosystems in the world tend to be diverse ecosystems,Ó he said. About 7 percent of faculty surveyed said freshmen are less respectful of op¥posing viewpoints, while 63 percent of students claimed they had diverse perspectives as freshmen, according to the report. Jensen said his students are typically considerate of other viewpoints. ÒIn my experience, students are ca¥pable of listening respectfully and speaking respectfully,Ó he said. ÒThere are exceptions to that.Ó STUDY: Pill boosts participantsÕ arousal From page 1 Bradford, a UT graduate and postdoctoral fel¥low, used data from an earlier clinical trial by pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Co. The study showed such improvement for the women because being a part of the re¥search encouraged the women to talk more with their partner about their lack of sexual arousal, Meston said. ÒI think the whole dynamic of the sexu¥al situation changed because they now had hope, they were now doing something about the problem,Ó she said. ÒThey were talking about the problem and they expected to get better, and all of those things actually had a therapeutic beneficial effect.Ó Austin sex therapist Kelly Burnett said that counseling is another option for women struggling with their sex lives. ÒThe first thing, of course, is to check out any physiological cause and then if nothing is found then we work with them on emo¥tional reasons that they might not want emo¥tional intimacy,Ó she said. NEWS Tuesday, September 21, 2010 Barton Springs reopens in wake of tropical storm By Amyna Dosani Daily Texan Staff Barton Springs Pool is back in business as of Saturday after be¥ing closed for a week and a half because of debris left by Tropical Storm Hermine. Employees worked for two weeks to prepare for the flood and to clean up the debris that littered the natural springs pool. ÒWe know that the public wants the pool open, and thatÕs our first priority,Ó said Wayne Simmons, Barton Springs Pool manager. ÒOur department will do whatev¥erÕs necessary to ensure that par¥ticular facility is operating safely.Ó When gauges along the pool suggested that the water levels would increase, Simmons said the employees immediately be¥gan removing any parts, such as lifeguard seats and diving boards, to prepare for the immi¥nent flooding. After the flooding left sever¥al feet of debris, silt and gravel in the grass and water, the pool em¥ployees and volunteers cleaned the area using nonchemical meth¥ods to protect the safety of the en¥dangered salamander population that resides in Zilker Park. Simmons said they raked and shoveled 5 to 10 feet of debris on the grass, composting what they could. They used fire hoses to re¥move the foot of silt and three feet of gravel in the deep water. In the shallow water, they pushed con¥struction brooms to brush the silt toward a drain. They pressure¥washed anything that was not part of the salamander habitat to remove the slippery silt. ÒManually, it was not much fun,Ó said lifeguard Joe Nelson. In the salamander habitat area, Simmons said they brought in bi¥ologists from the Watershed Pro¥tection Department to oversee the cleaning process. The biologists used low-pressure hoses to mini¥mize disturbances. The total cost of cleaning and lost revenue from the closure was about $10,000, Simmons said, add¥ing that it was something they just had to deal with. Last year, the pool had about 1,000 visitors per day during this time of year, he said. Now, it has about 600 to 700 visitors per day. Biology freshman Deborah Ale¥mu did not know about the pool closing or opening, but was re¥lieved to know it would be open for future kayaking plans. ÒIÕm glad to know that itÕs open,Ó Alemu said. ÒAt first, we were worried about lake levels be¥ing too high.Ó All public facilities are now open except in small areas where main¥tenance is temporarily being done, said Victor Ovalle, an Austin Parks and Recreation spokesman. UT program offers students variety of volunteer events By Audrey White Daily Texan Staff Students with a passion for service have a new outlet in the UT Service Scholars Program, which will launch a pilot pro¥gram this year. The scholars will work to¥gether to identify needs, pur¥sue long-term projects and connections and create a net¥work of students interested in civic engagement and ser¥vice learning. Last year, Andrea Ballard, a member of the one-year pro¥gram Americorps Volunteers in Service to America (VIS-TA), developed the idea for the scholars program with the Volunteer and Service Learn¥ing Center. This year, Ameri¥corps VISTA member Emily Seeger has taken up where Bal¥lard left off to implement a pi¥lot program with the support of a team of UT students. ÒIÕm here as [the founding leadership teamÕs] adviser to get everything off the ground,Ó Seeger said. ÒItÕs a really new program at UT, and it will be a great asset. This team is doing an amazing job to get all the de¥tails worked out for the future. IÕm here to help develop all the ideas and things that need to go into it to be laid out.Ó Applications are due Thurs¥day, and by Sept. 30, the leader¥ship team will select 100 to 200 students to be part of this yearÕs program. Each student will be required to complete 100 hours of service during the academ¥ic year, 50 of which must go di¥rectly to serving the UT cam¥pus. Students will be able to ÔÔWe want to come together and educate each other about whatÕs going on in the community.Ó Ñ Berenice Medellin Sociology senior choose their own projects based on personal interests, and team members said the program will allow students to work with a variety of nonprofits and oth¥er organizations both on and off campus. ÒWe hope it will be an en¥riching, service-learning ex¥perience,Ó said sociology se¥nior Berenice Medellin, a mem¥ber of the founding leadership team and the social work rep¥resentative in Student Govern¥ment. ÒWe want to come to¥gether as a group and educate each other about whatÕs going on in the community and get some workshops going to learn more about the nonprofit sec¥tor and educate each other.Ó The team hopes the program will attract students who are al¥ready actively engaged in ser¥vice or want to be, not just those who are looking for something to add to their resume, said Rosa Gonzalez, an architectur¥al engineering junior and team member. Ideally, students in the program will gain resourc¥es to continue to engage in ser¥vice beyond their time in the program, she said. The program will receive funding from UTÕs Volunteer and Service Learning Center, and the team is hoping to at¥tract private funding to help support the program and membersÕ specific project goals, said Sarah Classen, a busi¥ness sophomore and the teamÕs chairwoman. The team is also hoping to develop partnerships with faculty and staff members to give students an outlet to conduct research. This partnership with the Uni¥versity is key, because the pro¥gram was established with UTÕs core values as the guiding prin¥ciples, Seeger said. ÒThe service scholars are real¥ly representing what UT is try¥ing to portray to students and the community,Ó she said.

Though most of SaturdayÕs game was spent all tied up, BrownÕs interception in the third quarter led to a field goal that put the Longhorns in the lead. BrownÕs senior leadership helped him and his fellow defensive players to shutout the Red Raiders during the second half, holding Tech to 144 total yards of offense. TRIVIA TUESDAY What retired American soccer player resides in Austin with her MLB¥player husband?

ÒThe ball skips more,Ó head coach Chris Petrucelli said. ÒIt doesnÕt bounce as high. The field gets a little faster in this kind of rain where there arenÕt puddles. The ball was skipping and itÕs hard to get a real solid strike on the ball. When your foot hits the ball, the ball skims off your foot. It just makes it a little more dif¥ficult to connect passes and get in rhythm.Ó Although it is difficult to deter¥mine where the ball will bounce on the field when the weather is messy, Texas goalkeeper Alexa Gaul made a diving save in the 65th minute, stretching her body across the sopping grass to keep a cougar forward from scoring. Gaul made a total of four saves throughout the game, keeping the Cougars from scoring and reaf¥firming the 1-0 win.

ÒYou do what your team needs you to do, and thatÕs the fun part of playing a team sport.Ó Last night was CampanelliÕs first time in the middle all season. Playing as an outside defender for most of the season, she had to switch her mentality from an offensive mindset, playing the ball up to her midfielders, to a more defensive mindset, making sure no players had an easy path to the goal. ÒThereÕs a lot more leadership at cen¥ter back. YouÕve got to communicate and keep everyone in check, so itÕs a dif¥ferent feel [from the outside],Ó she said. Campanelli flew around the field all game, mainly marking Cougar forwards Jennie Marshall and Carlee Payne, who have scored six and two goals for BYU this season, respectively. Campanelli and the rest of the Texas defense made important tackles late in the game, when BYU started to put the Longhorns on their heels. Campanelli made a tackle on Cougar forward Lyn¥da Hercules with five minutes to go that prevented a scoring chance from inside the box to preserve the 1-0 win. ÒIÕm proud of the way our back line played. You have to be a bullet toward the ball, with no mercy,Ó she said.

C L ASSIFIEDS programs and/or chil¥com/employment.html PONY: Hobby spurs creation of store From page 11 add an overall sense of equanimi¥ty and grace to the space. Lee said that starting a business is a scary thing for anyone right now, but thatyoujustdoyourbest.ForDogand Pony, pricing is key. Because the store is close to campus Ñ near 27th and Gua¥dalupe Streets Ñ Lee aimed to make her products affordable for students. Prices range from $20 for unique vin¥tage pieces to more than $100 for used designer items. The store especially appeals to exercise-minded students, as Dog and Pony will offer yoga classes every Saturday in an attempt to embrace AustinÕs fitness culture. For Lee, Dog and Pony is a side project before she figures out what to do next. Not fond of the technical as¥pect of fashion, Lee doesnÕt aspire to be a designer, and because her family owns Koriente, a restaurant in Austin, Leethoughtit wouldbethe locationfor self-evaluation. Growingup,LeeÕs father,a diplomat for South KoreaÕs Foreign Department, travelled frequently, so she has lived in Korea, Maryland and Houston. Later, she lived in Milan and New York City to study fashion and work for designer Alexander Wang. Whatsheseescreativelyinlifeandin fashion are influenced by all the things sheÕs seen in these cities. Still, Lee said that she couldnÕt say fashion has been a part of her life since she was young and she never thought of it as a viable career. ÒI think I was in the bath tub and it just popped into my mind that this is what I should do,Ó Lee said. ÒI thought it was interesting how clothes can change the way people feel.Ó This instinctive decision led her to spend two years studying fashion de¥sign at Istituto Marangoni, a respect¥ed fashion school in Milan. There, Lee said she spent countless hours sketch¥ing and looking at photographs rather than sewing. ÒThe one thing that always stuck with me is the Italians ... always teach you off of pictures because they say photos never lie Ñ trust the photo with your naked eye,Ó Lee said. Charlie Pearce | Daily Texan Staff Star Lee, owner of Dog and Pony boutique, said that she decided to dive into the fashion industry because she likes that clothes can evoke a specific emotion. FILM: Event provides interesting way to experience history From page 12 some flair,Ó said anthropology se¥nior Leah Gilman. League sought the new film out after being disappointed in miss¥ing its Berlin debut. Now, as a part of a brief encore presentation, the complete cut of the film will show nightly at the Alamo Drafthouse through Sept. 22, when Fantas¥tic Fest takes over the venue. The film was recently recovered and re¥stored by an Argentinean film ar¥chive, and will include 30 minutes of new footage. ÒMetropolis is set in an art deco power plant in the movie itself, and we just happen to have an art deco power plant sitting idle [in Austin], so we thought it would be an ap¥propriate setting,Ó League said. The Seaholm Power Plant, locat¥ed at Fifth Street and West Avenue, looks like a factory youÕd see on a movie set, which made it fitting for the nightÕs events. Before the screen¥ing, performers in 1930s factory worker garb went around beating the walls and pipes with wrenches. ÒIt was a real treat just because of the uniqueness of the event and how much the film has meant in the history of filmmaking,Ó Gil¥man said. ÒItÕs nice to have this lost piece and to be able to ex¥perience it in a really different, special way.Ó WHAT: The Complete Metropolis WHERE: Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar WHEN: Through Wednesday, 7 p.m. WEB: originalalamo.com NAPS: Sleepy students cite outdoors, secluded rooms as top picks for snoozing From page 1 public place to sleep. On top of all this, it is not remarkably quiet due to the language class¥es in the surrounding rooms. Despite its flaws, Walker Pick¥ens, geography junior, still rec¥ommends it. ÒI took a power nap on a bench in the middle of Garrison,Ó Pick¥ens said. The Six Pack lawn, for the ad¥venturous napper, ranks at num¥ber three. Now, I will admit that I struggled to get to sleep here, but the student a yard away from me appeared to be out cold and did not move in the forty minutes I spent on the lawn. It has a great amount of shade and a consistent breeze and I had the pleasure of waking up to a ladybug crawling over my left index finger, though You can just lay down and see the sky.Ó ÔÔ Ñ Allie Hollander, Freshman I would not have been surprised to find a much less agreeable crea¥ture in its place. For students like internation¥al relations freshman Allie Hol¥lander one of the perks of lying on the lawn is the openness and relaxation. ÒItÕs the only place [on cam¥pus] I know where you can just lay down and see the sky,Ó Hol¥lander said. The sleeping spots are endless in the Perry-Castaneda Library, making it the second best nap¥ping spot. ÒIÕm all about finding a good little nook on the fourth floor,Ó Pickens said. After inspecting all of the lev¥els of the PCL, the fourth hard¥ly ranks with the sixth. Both are quiet study floors but the fourth has a musty smell and does not have couches like the sixth. This is not necessarily a deterrent, though. When I investigated the fourth, I stumbled across some¥one sprawled across a coffee ta¥ble using a chair as his pillow. However if comfort trumps quiet, then do not waste precious REM cycle time waiting around for an elevator. Instead stay on the ground floor at the Univer¥sity Federal Credit Union Stu¥dent Learning Commons. Chair or couch, the furniture at the com¥mons is plush and cozy. The number one napping spot on the Texas campus is un¥doubtedly on the third floor of the Texas Union. After walk¥ing up the staircase take an im¥mediate right to enter every sleep deprived studentÕs heav¥en. Here rows of snug chairs are filled with slumbering students. The area is almost reverently si¥lent. No fluorescent light pene¥trates the corridor, the long line of windows only let in the sunÕs rays, which cast over the stu¥dents with the gentle warmth of a Longhorn Snuggie. ÒIf your chair is in the sun, itÕs just right,Ó said Morgan Kelly, un¥dergraduate studies freshman. The students I observed out of reach of the sun covered themselves with backpacks or jackets against the icy air con¥ditioning. Beyond the com¥fy chairs, perfect lighting and noise level, Kelly said that she likes that everyone else is nap¥ping too. The third floor of the Union is undoubtedly a community sleep station. This means that sometimes students like Kel¥ly end up waiting for a pair of chairs to cuddle up in. Kelly does not seem to mind the wait, though. ÒI live off campus, [waiting here] is more convenient,Ó she said. After taking a nap at the third floor of the Texas Union, I am convinced the college stu¥dent gods created this spot at the same time as care packag¥es and drinking games. It is the best non-bed location on cam¥pus to sleep. So do not let living off campus or a time crunch keep you from napping, instead curl up on a bench in Garrison Hall, sprawl out under the cool shade of the trees of the Six Pack lawn, find your unique space in the PCL, or sleep as the gods intended in the Union. who is conÞdent, has an Location: The Wood-Move credit!

Songs like ÒMen of the SeaÓ and ÒMen of the EarthÓ take a sharp turn toward the down-tempo just to pro¥vide a break. However, the drop from the sheer exhilaration of high¥energy songs like ÒBack and ForthÓ feels severe while remaining groovy. The album picks up by the end with the solid and sweet ÒRhubarb JamÓ and some of the fastest bass playing youÕve heard since hearing that guitar prodigy that exists at ev¥ery high school and makes everyone jealous.

The pilot alone, direct¥ed by Martin Scorsese and writ¥ten by Sopranos scribe Terrence Winter, cost nearly a cool $50 million to get the dramatization of the Roaring Õ20s just right.

Of course that can be com¥plicated when gangsters inev¥itably start whacking people and throwing them into the At¥lantic, but donÕt forget that the award-winning series ÒMad MenÓ didnÕt exactly stop to get viewers acquainted with every¥one in the office before co-work¥ers started hooking up. The series, slated for 12 epi¥sodes this season, starts off with a slip up. While Nucky cuts a deal with New York crime boss¥es to ship the first batch of Ca¥nadian whiskey to their friends in Chicago, NuckyÕs muscle, a World War I vet with grand aspi¥rations named Jimmy Darmon¥dy, hatches his own plan with a young Al Capone. After the New Yorkers win back enough money from NuckyÕs casino so that Nucky has to pay them for his own shipment, Darmondy and Capone steal the trucks and take back their shares of cash. Of course Nucky, trying to be diplomatic about this new black market, isnÕt at all pleased. Darmondy makes it clear that Nucky ÒcanÕt be half a gang¥ster anymoreÓ before shoving him his cut of the share in an envelope. In the end, Nucky decides to keep his right-hand man for the time being, but allows an¥other guy, a wife-beating hus¥band of a woman NuckyÕs fond of, to take the fall. While itÕs not clear whether thatÕs thrown off the Prohibition agents, or ÒPro¥bies,Ó entrusted to enforce the ban, BuscemiÕs likable portray¥al of the notorious gangster has you rooting for the bad guys to the very end. ÒBoardwalk EmpireÓ Sundays at 10 p.m. on HBO Power plant recreates setting for film debut Live score accompanies motion picture event, adds modernized touch By Allistair Pinsof Daily Texan Staff ItÕs not often that you get to see a film in a defunct power plant, but then again, itÕs not often that lost footage from a film is recov¥ered 83 years after its initial re¥lease. On Sept. 11, an extended cut of Fritz LangÕs ÒMetropolisÓ was presented for the first time in Texas to an audience at AustinÕs Seaholm Power Plant. ÒIt wasabig discoverylastyear, new prints have been struck and it debuted at the Berlin Film Fes¥tival this year,Ó said Tim League, CEO of Alamo Drafthouse and director of the nightÕs event. ÒMetropolisÓ is a highly influ¥ential German expressionist film that presented a vision of the fu¥ture so stunningly clear that some Courtesy of Kino International of it has come true (security cam¥eras, for instance). The film tells the story of the schism between the cityÕs factory workers and ruling elite, often presenting hell¥ish visions of what the former must go through on a daily basis. These scenes were particularly intense due to the live score per¥formed by AustinÕs own Golden Hornet Project. ÒThe band was really impres¥sive. I was really excited about that because I was unsure if they would be recreating the sound track or if they were adding their own twist to it Ñ and they real¥ly did and ON THE WEB: did a good job.
