INSIDE Police arrest protesters

5 NEWS

The Austin Police Department arrested three protesters Saturday while they were participating in a weekend effort termed “Tent City” to shed light on the issues facing the homeless in Austin.

Police said they arrested Luke Smith, Joshua Pineda

and transient Jeremy Krutz.

All three were charged with criminal trespassing and have been released on bond, police said.

Organized by the Ending Homelessness Working Group, a subsection of the Occupy Austin movement, event officials said Tent City involved protesters traveling to various locations throughout the

city and setting up makeshift camps to illustrate the struggle transients often experience. Encampment locations included a former Home Depot, a field, a vacant lot, the Victory Christian Center parking lot in North Austin and the plaza of the Travis County Jail. Police

WVU fourth down conversions trip up Texas defense.

UT law students and volunteers helped undocumented individuals organize the materials they needed to apply for relief from deportation and obtain legal work status for the next two years.

Implemented by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services this year, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program gives successful applicants two years of relief from deportation and work authorization. This past weekend, the UT School of Law Pro Bono program hosted its third free clinic for the program at Pickle Elementary School in North Austin to help applicants put together legal documentation to meet the program’s requirements. Among those are proof they were younger than 31-years-old by June this year and graduated from a U.S. high school.

To qualify, applicants also have to prove they were younger than 16-years-old when they were brought to the U.S. and have resided in the U.S. since June 15, 2007.

Tina Fernandez, director of UT’s Pro Bono program, said the clinic focused on high school students because they are the easiest to help.

“We have very limited capacity to serve [college] students,”

Texas recovered and, trailing by three, had a perfect chance to regain the lead.

At a monthly legislative meeting meant to deliberate the progress of statewide research programs, UT President William Powers Jr. urged the Texas House Committee on Higher Education to concentrate funding to established tier-one research institutions instead of universities vying for tier-one status.

The committee also discussed whether programs are generating enough revenue to receive future funding. Both Powers and Texas A&M University President R. Bowen Loftin urged the committee to continue research funding for higher education institutions in order to generate more revenue.

CAP allows students who were not accepted into UTAustin to transfer to the University after completing prerequisites at another UT System school. CAP students can transfer to UTAustin after their first year if they achieve at least a 3.2 GPA and earn 30 hours of

Fernandez said this doesn’t mean that college students are out in the cold.

said he believes the new program is a step in the right direction but that more permanent measures are needed.

“Some people have been here all their lives,” he said. “It’s time for us to make a decision.”

Pedro Dasilua, an applicant at the clinic, said he was still relieved to have two years to make money to support his family and an education.

Dasilua first came to the U.S. in 1994 and is now 26.

Dasilua said that without current documentation, it was hard for him to hold a job and he felt he couldn’t use the education he was receiving.

“I’ve got a family to start, and I can’t really start anything without having some kind of backup, study-wise,” Dasilua said. “[With this deferral] I can get a job, earn money and see if, with my wife, I can legalize.

While the clinic checks over applications and translates documents, clinic officials cannot promise that the applicant will be granted the two-year reprieve.

Dasilua said. “If you don’t get accepted, at least you know you did everything you could.”

CAP

continues from page 1 40 percent of the total 1,721, actually transferred to UT-Austin in 2012.

This is a 4 percent increase from last year, making it the CAP class with the highest transfer rate since the program began in 2001.

David Laude, senior vice provost for enrollment and graduation management, said UT-Austin’s Office of Admissions communicates with CAP students in the fall and spring semesters of their first year to assist them with the transfer process.

“It isn’t really UT’s responsibility to make sure students transfer,” he said.

“This is a choice students make for themselves, and it is often the case that a year away from home at college provides a lot of opportunity for a student to change his or her mind.”

The percentage of students who qualify to trans-

fer has increased since 2008, but the percentage of eligible students actually transferring to UTAustin has decreased by 3 percent since 2009. The transfer rate is also down 7 percent from the program’s first year in 2001, when 99 percent of eligible students enrolled at UT-Austin through CAP. UT-Austin has offered CAP positions to more freshman applicants since 2001, but fewer students have accepted contracts to enroll at system universities every year since then.

Still, the number of students accepting CAP contracts increased from last year, reaching 1,881 despite UT-Dallas’ decision to cease participation in the program.

Historically, UT-San Antonio has received and transferred the most CAP students to UT than any other system school, admitting between 59 and 74 percent of each total CAP class, which is made up of all of the students who

enroll in the UT System’s CAP program. It was the largest university in the system in terms of total CAP student enrollment before UT-Arlington surpassed it in 2010.

Despite its high enrollment of CAP students, UT-Arlington spokesperson Kristin Sullivan said the program isn’t a priority for the campus.

“In the scheme of things, our CAP students make up a small percentage of the student body when compared to our overall enrollment,” she said. “It’s clear to us that more students view this institution as a destination and are coming to finish their degree here.”

UT-Permian Basin, the system’s smallest institution in terms of student enrollment, has historically received the least amount of CAP students on its campus. It received 34 CAP students this year — its second largest class since the program began.

Permian Basin admissions director Scott Smiley said CAP students are treated as part of the regular student body during their first year with expectations that students will eventually decide to finish their undergraduate coursework at UT-Permian Basin.

“It’s an approach that benefits students, because it makes them feel welcomed,” he said. “This is not an ideology used by other schools who might view them as UT-Austin students.”

Michael Washington, UT-Austin associate admissions director, said the University prefers for students to make their own choices about transferring to UT-Austin after their first year at a UT System school despite declining enrollment numbers.

“The future of the program depends on institutional policies from the other university,” he said. “It could be fairly secured one year or discontinued the next, but nothing is certain.”

CAP is assessed on a yearly basis based on effectiveness, how many students it produces and how it fits into the University’s enrollment goals.

Campus officer kills naked Ala. student

ATLANTA — The pharmacy that distributed a steroid linked to a fungal meningitis outbreak has issued a recall of all of products as a precautionary measure.

The New England Compounding Center announced the recall Saturday and said in a news release that the move was taken out of caution because of the risk of contamination. It says there is no indication that any other products have been contaminated.

The Food and Drug Administration had previously told health professionals not to use any products distributed by the center.

The states with reported cases are: Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia.

MOBILE, Ala. — Classmates and friends are questioning why a police officer fatally shot a University of South Alabama freshman who was naked and had been banging on a window at police headquarters.

Campus officials didn’t give any indication that Gil Collar, 18, of Wetumpka had a weapon when he was shot. A university spokesman said he was fatally wounded about 1:30 a.m. Saturday after an officer heard a bang on a window and went outside to investigate.

A statement issued by university spokesman Keith Ayers said Collar, who wrestled at Wetumpka High School before enrolling at South Alabama, assumed a “fighting stance” and chased an officer before being shot.

The officer tried to retreat numerous times to defuse the situation before opening fire, the school said.

But sophomore Tyler Kendrick said campus authorities haven’t provided any satisfying answers about why Collar was killed.

“Really, it just upsets me that there’s no other way to apprehend an unarmed student rather than shooting him. I don’t understand that,” Kendrick said.

Student Joshua Frye said it seemed the officer could have used something other than a firearm to stop Collar.

“What I feel is that a cop has more than a gun,” he said.

The officer was placed on paid leave, and an autopsy will determine if drugs or alcohol were involved.

Campus officials said the confrontation was recorded by security camer-

Britons wary of press, want more regulation LONDON — Dozens of Britons who believe their phones were illegally tapped by journalists have written to Prime Minister David Cameron urging him to consider tighter press regulation.

Celebrities, including actor Hugh Grant and Jude Law, were among 60 people who signed the open letter, which expressed alarm at news reports that Cameron will reject press regulation proposals from the Leveson inquiry, the investigation into Britain’s media ethics.

The letter — which calls for an end to self-regulation by the press — asks for assurances that Cameron will consider recommendations from the inquiry with an open mind.

The inquiry was set up in the wake of the phone hacking scandal, which exposed widespread illegal behavior across the industry.

as. The video and other information has been turned over to the district attorney and the Mobile County Sheriff ’s Office, which will review the shooting.

Colgan Meanor went to high school with Collar and then enrolled at the same college.

“He was a great, loving guy who always made people smile,” she said.

“He’s not the kind of guy that people knew him and said he would do something like this.”

Collar was the second person killed on the South Alabama campus since last year.

A university freshman was charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of another teenager who was slain in an on-campus apartment in July 2011.

The victim was a visitor to campus and was not enrolled, authorities said.

Ayers said South Alabama, located near downtown Mobile, was still “a very safe campus,” despite Collar’s death.

Friendly fire kills ag

By Bob Hristie Associated Press

PHOENIX — The U.S. Border Patrol agent killed last week in a shooting in southern Arizona apparently opened fire on two fellow agents thinking they were armed smugglers and was killed when they returned fire, the head of the Border Patrol agents’ union said Sunday.

The two sets of agents approached an area where a sensor had been activated early Tuesday from different directions early Tuesday and encountered each other in an area of heavy brush, National Border Patrol Council president George McCubbin said.

Agent Nicholas Ivie apparently opened fire first and wounded one of the other agents but was killed in the return fire.

Acting Cochise County Sheriff Rod Rothrock confirmed the scenario but would not say if Ivie was the first to shoot, saying that was up to the federal agencies involved.

The new details add to a FBI statement Friday that the shooting appeared to be a friendly fire incident that involved no one but the agents.

Sensors are set up in different areas along the U.S.-Mexico border to detect smugglers or illegal immigrants, with Border Patrol agents responding when they’re set off. The shooting occurred in a rugged hilly area about five miles north of the border near Bisbee, Ariz., an area known for illegal trafficking.

McCubbin and Rothrock both said the two sets of agents knew the others were heading to the area on foot but apparently didn’t know

Why using race in admissions is wrong

By Dave Player Guest Columnist

This Wednesday, lawyers appearing before the U.S. Supreme Court will debate the constitutionality of using race as a factor for admission at public universities. The issue has already provoked a passionate response from those on both sides of the issue. Central to the debate are questions about what the priorities of this university should be: to admit candidates with the strongest academic credentials, to provide the best educational experience, or, as I would argue, to be accessible and provide educational opportunities to as many deserving young Texans as possible? Those objectives are not mutually exclusive, but resolving the issues presented in Abigail Fisher’s case against UT will require us to prioritize one goal over the other.

Proponents of race-based admissions argue that the practice promotes diversity and thereby enhances the quality of learning at institutions where it takes place. If and to what degree that is true is up for debate, but in the Fisher case that argument is irrelevant. H.B. 588, the bill that established the Top 10 Percent Law, has already done a far better job of promoting diversity at UT-Austin than the University’s holistic review system, which uses race as a factor in admitting students.

The Top 10 Percent Law is the most equitable approach to undergraduate admissions in that it rewards students for obtaining a high level of achievement relative to their peers, or, in other words, doing the most they could with the resources available to them. Critics often charge that it’s not as difficult to obtain a high class ranking in some schools. That much is true; in 2010, the average SAT score for students admitted under the Top 10 Percent Law was 113 points

lower than that of students admitted under the holistic review process. While standardized test scores may be a factor in the University’s national rankings, they’re not always a good indicator of intelligence or future achievement. In fact, every year from 2000 to 2009, the mean freshman year GPA for students admitted under the Top 10 Percent Law was higher than their holistically-reviewed counterparts. Rather, more often a high SAT or ACT score is simply an indicator of a family who could afford expensive prep courses or private school.

But aside from admitting better students, the Top 10 Percent Law does more to promote diversity at UT than the holistic review system being attacked in the Fisher case. A 2006 study by thenUT history Professor David Montejano found that in its first four years, the law sparked increased enrollment from three key types of schools: urban high schools with predominately minority enrollment, predominately white high schools in rural East Texas, and “mixed-race” rural schools in West and South Texas. Since its enactment, the Top 10 Percent Law has spawned significant increases in enrollment from these traditionally under-represented groups.

Indeed, students admitted under the holistic review system are actually less diverse than those admitted under the Top 10 Percent Law. Blacks and Hispanics constitute a lower percentage of students admitted under the holistic review compared to students admitted under Top 10 Percent Law. Moreover, in addition to triggering the pending court case, the use of race as an admissions criterion has generated several adverse side effects in our society.

Decisions about who we let into our universities are not made with regards to a class of people, but to individuals, students with a wholly unique set of experiences. To make certain assumptions about an applicant’s income, home life, or education solely based on

his or her race is discrimination, pure and simple.

When our government enacts policies that apply different standards to students of different races, it’s institutionalized racism.

The implication in such policies is that students of certain races can’t be expected to meet the same academic standards as their peers because of the color of their skin. That assumption is completely untrue and is fundamentally incompatible with our values, both as a school and a nation. Allowing such a system to stay in place is an affront to the thousands of talented and hardworking students of all colors that have made UT the world-renowned institution that it is today.

In view of the success of the Top 10 Percent Law in opening the doors to under-represented Texans, the University should stop using discriminatory criteria such as race as factors in its holistic admissions system. The Top 10 Percent Law is not without its flaws, the foremost being that it’s a single-criterion admissions system, which can discourage potential applicants from developing as well-rounded individuals. Additionally, many students with strong academic qualifications might not have been admitted without the holistic system currently in place. But recent modifications such as S.B. 175, which capped the percentage of the incoming class admitted under the Top 10 Percent Law at 75 percent, should effectively ensure that those problems don’t overburden our admissions practice. Holistic review should still have a place in UT’s admissions policy, albeit without race as a factor.

Using an applicant’s race as a criterion for admission is a backwards practice that the University should never have resumed after adopting the Top 10 Percent Law. Unfortunately, it appears that it will now take a Supreme Court case to rectify that error.

Why KXBT was a bad buy

Guest Columnist

Last month, the UT System Board of Regents accepted KUT’s proposed $6 million acquisition of KXBT, a radio station that currently plays oldies music. At first glance, the acquisition seems like a smart investment. It will expand content for NPR’s Austin station, KUT, allowing all of KUT’s music programming to be played on KXBT. No tuition money will be used, and students will supposedly benefit from more easily accessible internship opportunities. This interpretation, however, ignores the larger picture of what’s happening in media, which is that physical radio stations such as KUT may likely disappear in a matter of decades. This reality makes the $6 million purchase look a lot less appealing.

While KUT provides insightful and compelling news commentary, talk shows, and music programming, radio listenership has decreased among young people, and it will likely decrease even more in years to come.

Not everyone agrees with that conclusion.

Colin Sturrock, a Plan II junior and DJ of The Blues Specialty show on KVRX, defends the buyout. “The main clientele of radio are people like our parents. They’re still going to be around for the next 30 or 40 years,” he said. “If you’ve been listening to the radio all your life, you’re not just going to stop when you turn 70.”

UT Communications Professor Joseph Straubhaar is more ambivalent than Sturrock about radio’s future, but he doesn’t write the traditional radio model off entirely. Straubhaar says,“[With digital based content] they can stretch across the whole Internet. People over 30 still have to get used to that though.”

The problem with Sturrock’s defense is that his aging listeners will die in a couple of decades. The median age for NPR radio

listeners is 55. Given average life expectancy, they have about 25 years left in them. Twenty-five years from now, the last thing UT students will need is experience in a field that will have become obsolete.

A more immediate threat to radio also exists. As of 2009, radio listeners were listening three fewer hours per week than they had in 2006. According to Inside Radio, as of 2007, radio numbers had declined to their lowest level since 1998. The steepest drop occurred in the teenage and young adult demographics, with listenership dropping by half between 2000 to 2010. These numbers aren’t surprising. With programs like Spotify, Tomahawk, Pandora, and iTunes that anticipate your musical preferences and allow you to pick your own music, something that tells you what to listen to regardless of your taste seems oppressive. KUT has its own set of statistics to justify the acquisition. In an interview with the Texan, Stewart Vanderwilt, director of KUT, cited an Arbitron RADAR data study, a quarterly set of radio listenership statistics, which found that “[r]adio consistently reaches 92 percent to 96 percent of virtually every demographic group.”

There are two problems with this finding: Reach doesn’t accurately measure the extent to which these audiences use radio, and RADAR statistics are only accurate for a brief moment in time. Using RADAR numbers to evaluate radio growth is akin to reviewing a movie based on a single frame of the film.

What will happen to physical radio may not be apparent in the RADAR numbers, but the fact that radio listenership among young adults between 2000 and 2010 dropped by half paints a grim picture that doesn’t bode well for KUT’s future as a physical radio station.

Radio stations, especially ones that provide unique programming, probably won’t die, but the need for physical radio will be greatly diminished, leaving KUT with a worthless and unsellable asset. It would be in the best interests of KUT, UT, and UT

students to allocate money instead to more Internet-based radio alternatives. That’s where the future of radio is, and that’s where the future jobs are for students interested in radio.

Vanderwilt and KUT are doing a good job of preparing for this future through their expansion into digital services.

“We have a portfolio strategy to this,” Vanderwilt said. “Radio is one part of a multimedia strategy. The thing that gets artists into our studio is the live broadcast, but that live radio broadcast lives on in the YouTube video that was shot here.”

Consider the acquisition of KXBT. The station will be used exclusively for music programming. KUT often plays less well-known music. Shows like Austin Music Minute, Texas Music Matters and Song of the Day introduce listeners to lesser known acts. Listeners of these shows are also the most enthusiastic about discovering music on the Internet.

“I think that money could be a lot better spent on trying to develop a new Internet platform,” said Marvin Barksdale, entertainment consultant and founder of Hydroshare, a digital distribution company. “The data from the web is so much deeper than the data you can get through your radio. Data is so important in how we make our business decisions.”

Given that Internet-based advertising more effectively delivers advertising tailored to a listener’s tastes, and thereby it’s more valuable, the KBXT acquisition was a mistake because physical radio stations will be replaced by digital forms and digital listeners in a matter of decades.

THE TEXAS TRIBUNE

FUNDING continues from page 1 the school spends at least $45 million in research expenditures, among other criteria.

In 2009, the Texas Legislature passed a bill setting up criteria for seven Texas universities to reach tier-one status, which would give them access to more state funding. The seven institutions — including UT System schools in El Paso, Dallas, Arlington and San Antonio — have still not reached the status of UT, A&M, UH and Rice.

“If you want good research coming out of our universities, then you have to fund it,” Powers said. “If you want to get something done correctly, spreading out your sources instead of investing in key players will accomplish nothing.

If you don’t keep focus, the return of research will be diminished.”

Legislative and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board officials presented research concerning state-funding programs, finding that in 2011 two programs lost funding and distributed less money. Sarah Keyton, higher education manager for the Legislative Budget Board, said in 2011 funding for the Norman Hackerman Advanced Research Program — a program that encourages faculty and students to conduct basic research — was reduced by 94 percent, from $16 million to $1 million.

Keyton said in 2011 seven universities that were previously ineligible for the Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund met the

necessary requirements, but only the University of Texas at Dallas received funding. A 2009 Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board report restricts program funding to schools who spend more than $50 million on research expenditures.

UT spokeswoman Tara Doolittle said UT has generated important findings through its research programs.

“This year, we have made breakthroughs in drug delivery for cancer, algae as an alternative fuel, low-cost diagnosis tools for developing countries and analysis that suggests that the chemicals that we are exposed to today may affect future generations,” Doolittle said. “Our researchers have also deciphered the meaning of an ancient Mayan calendar and made numerous discoveries about the nature of human behavior and educational best practices.”

Doolittle said the university receives research funding support from many sources, including federal grants, state funding and foundation support.

“Each of those sources is important to continuing this critical work of exploring new frontiers and expanding knowledge for the good of society,” Doolittle said.

“Excellence in research is at the heart of what we do as a tier-one research university. It is a critical component to student success, as well as leading to discoveries that will create a better future for Texas, the nation and the world.”

Drought continues despite rain

By Kate Galbraith The Texas Tribune

SAN ANGELO — With its pretty rivers and lakes, this city is sometimes called the oasis of West Texas. But San Angelo recently came within a year of running out of water as it faced a severe drought that produced brown lawns, dying bushes — and fear.

Last weekend, it poured.

More than five inches of rain fell on San Angelo.

Drought-stricken Midland got more rain Sept. 28 than on any other day since 1968. A severely low reservoir that supplies both cities with water more than doubled its reserves. On Friday, San Angelo’s city

CAMP continues from page 1 followed the roughly 30 protestors, some of whom were transients, who participated throughout the Tent City effort.

Tent City co-organizer Peter Cooper said there are not currently enough housing resources available for Austin’s growing homeless population, forcing Austin’s transients to search the city for a place they can legally sleep.

Tent City participants traveled to five different encampment locations on both city and private property between Saturday and Sunday afternoon before retreating Sunday around 5 p.m. to prepare for a similar initiative that will occur Wednesday, on what has unofficially been declared World Homeless Day in advocation of homeless

rights, according to the event’s website.

Cooper said city regulations on what areas can be occupied after certain hours are confusing, and this makes it difficult for the homeless to know what city property they can legally sleep on.

Some said the Tent City movement illustrated this confusion because its organizers and participants were unsure of the legality of their actions throughout the weekend effort.

Cooper said Tent City’s efforts Saturday afternoon to create camps may be breaking the law, but he is unsure because of the law’s unclear nature on when and where people can occupy public spaces.

Tent City participant

Valerie Romness said she believes a permanent Tent City is necessary to give the homeless a place they know they can legally go until city resources can catch up with their needs.

“We need a Tent City, because the shelters are full,” Romness said.

“Women and children are sleeping in cars in parking lots and on the streets. Tent City is a temporary transitional housing project while people are waiting for a job or affordable housing to be built.”

Cooper said he hopes Wednesday’s effort leads to city action, including the creation of more housing resources for the homeless and clearer legislation about where they can sleep.

council voted to undo the sprinkler ban.

But the drought in West Texas is not over, and experts say the perennially dry region must plan carefully. Farmers, swimming pool cleaners, car-wash operators and many others depend on ample water, and if supplies are short, jobs could be lost. Pressure is growing on the Legislature to address the problem, especially because the population continues to grow and West Texas is projected to become drier.

Some 66 percent of the state remains in drought, a major improvement from a week ago. Nonetheless, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality still says 23 communities, many

of them in West Texas, could be within 180 days of running out of water.

This drought has forced local officials in West Texas to make agonizing decisions.

At San Angelo’s City Council meeting on Sept. 27, before all the rain, officials voted to continue to allow car washes to operate and swimming pools to be filled despite the looming shortages.

Throughout West Texas, a consensus has emerged that cities need new water sources. Traditionally West Texas cities have relied heavily on huge surface reservoirs. But the hot, dry air generally means that more water evaporates from the reservoirs in a given year than people use. If the state is to solve

its long-term water woes, the costs will be high. The state water plan, finalized in January, contains a $53 billion wish list of projects to meet the needs of the growing state.

Next year Texas lawmakers will decide whether to support financing for the plan, and they could also consider a range of waterinfrastructure and conservation questions. House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, told a cattle raisers’ group last month in Austin that water will be a key part of his agenda.

Straus said, “I don’t want to reach a day where a Texas company announces it’s moving to Florida or Ohio because of water issues.”

Mountaineers outlast Horns

SIDELINE NCAAF OKLAHOMA

By Chris Hummer If you would have told Mack Brown before the game that Texas would have held Geno Smith to 268 yards, won the turnover battle and blocked a kick and a punt, he would have felt great about his team’s chances.

The Longhorns were able to do all of those things, but West Virginia’s knack for converting on fourth downs and a bungled offensive sequence in the middle of the fourth quarter led to a 48-45 Mountaineers victory.

“It’s frustrating, and we left a lot on the table,” safety Kenny Vaccaro said. “[There were] a lot of plays that we could have made and a lot of possessions that we should have taken advantage of.”

Texas’ biggest opportunity of the contest came in the middle of the fourth quarter after defensive end Alex Okafor bulled his way through the line to take a huge swipe at Smith’s throwing arm, forcing a fumble that Chris Whayley was able to recover on the West Virginia 12-yard line.

At that moment the momentum of the game had seemingly swung. The Longhorns were jumping around on the sideline, and the stands were almost swaying underneath the intensity of the crowd.

But after two short runs from Joe Bergeron, Texas was sitting at 3rd-and-6 with the play clock winding down. David Ash hurried to

the line to make an adjustment after the Mountaineers showed blitz, and the cadence seemed to get lost.

The ball was snapped and Ash was not ready. The ball went straight through his hands and bounded behind him, costing Texas 16 yards of field position.

“That was my fault,” Ash said. “I let the play clock get down so low. I just should have caught it.”

The fumble took Texas out of short field goal range and put the game on the leg

of Anthony Fera, who was making his debut as a Longhorn — he missed the first three games of the season with a groin injury — after transferring from Penn State.

It was the kind of kick that Texas kickers have consistently drilled in Brown’s time in Austin. He cannot remember a time in 15 years where his kicker missed a kick with the game on the line. But from 42 yards out, Fera could not convert. He pushed the ball right and left the Longhorns down by three with

Defense struggles once again, WVU goes 7-for-7 in red zone

By Lauren Giudice

The Longhorns held Geno Smith to fewer passing yards than any team this year: 268 yards. But it wasn’t enough and once again, the run game did the Longhorns in.

Running back Andrew Buie accumulated a careerhigh 207 yards on 31 attempts and averaged 6.7 yards per rush.

“The thing for me that I am having trouble with is we are giving up so many rushing yards, and I’m not used to that,” head coach Mack Brown said. “We’re allowing people to be two dimensional.”

Kenny Vaccaro was surprised at the Mountaineers’ success with the run game.

“They have two great receivers and a great passing quarterback,” Vaccaro said.

“The run was supposed to be eliminated, and it is disappointing to see that. The run

game basically saved them.”

Some of these issues with stopping the run game can be attributed to linebacker Jordan Hicks’ absence the last two games. But, for a team that led the Big 12 in rushing defense last year, giving up more than 200 to one player won’t be good enough in this high-scoring Big 12.

Fourth downs hurt Horns When playing against Smith, a defense has to make big stops. The Longhorns failed to do that and allowed the Mountaineers to go 5-for5 on fourth down conversions. They only went 3-for12 on third downs.

five minutes left to play.

“It’s just disappointing we didn’t finish,” Brown said.

After the missed kick, the Mountaineers were able to pound an exhausted Texas front all the way down the field, and they punched in the game-winning touchdown with a minute and 12 seconds left to play. It was the type of drive that defined the night for the Texas defense.

It was not able to stop the run and could not get West Virginia off of the field when it needed to. West Virginia

“I’m sure everyone is going to come to film tomorrow and get that feeling: ‘If I would have done one more thing right, we would have had more of a chance to win this game,’” junior guard Mason Walters said.

The Texas faithful had to endure a 40-yard touchdown toss from Smith to Tavon Austin on a 4th-and-4 in the first quarter, immediately after a sack by Malcom Brown that would have ended the drive was erased by a late timeout call from the Texas sideline. West Virginia took a 14-7 lead on the score. Another missed opportunity.

On the Mountaineers’ next drive, Mykkele Thompson, making his first career start at safety, had both hands on a Smith pass in the end zone. An incompletion that should have been Smith’s first interception of the year allowed him to find Austin for 11 yards on 4thand-9 the next play. Another

running back Andrew Buie rushed for 207 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

The defense held the Mountaineers to 3-of-12 on third downs, but Smith was brilliant when he needed to be, leading his team to a perfect 5-of-5 conversion rate on fourth downs.

“The execution on some of those fourth-down throws was outstanding,” defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said.

“There were some 50-50 balls on that down and distance, and they all went their way.” missed opportunity.

Mountaineer Andrew Buie, who gashed a Jordan Hicks-less Texas defense for 207 rushing yards, gave the Mountaineers a 21-7 advantage three plays later with a four-yard touchdown run.

But the Longhorns didn’t lay down. Johnathan Gray’s 49-yard run set up one of four Joe Bergeron rushing touchdowns. Jackson Jeffcoat fell on a Smith fumble in the end zone on the ensuing possession to tie the game at 21.

Even after the Mountaineers took the lead back with a field goal on their next drive, it still seemed like the Longhorns were winning.

“The whole game I thought we were going to win,” Ash said.

“We came in and just came up a bit short. We had opportunities, and I was proud of the way this team battled. We didn’t make some of the plays we needed to.”

In fact, the Longhorns went into the fourth quarter leading, 38-34. But that lead was quickly erased and, despite West Virginia handing Texas the game on a silver platter later in the final period, the Longhorns suffered their first loss of the year.

A missed opportunity.

Texas sweeps Kansas State, heads to Louisville

By Sara Beth Purdy They did it again. The No. 9 Longhorns defeated No. 14 Kansas State 3-0 in Manhattan, Kansas (25-17, 30-28, 2515). The victory was the Longhorns’ seventh straight sweep, bringing their record to 13-3 on the season and 6-0 in Big 12 play. So far Texas has yet to drop a set against a conference opponent this season.

Despite sweeping TCU earlier in the week, the Longhorns were not happy with their inconsistent performance against the Horned Frogs. Their goal going into Saturday’s match was to eliminate errors and play well from the start of the match

through all sets.

“I think we knew we didn’t play well on Wednesday against TCU and just had to put that past us,” sophomore outside hitter Haley Eckerman said. “We just had to come out firing tonight.”

Eckerman led the Longhorns with 19 kills and 11 digs, a career high and the first double-double of her career. She hit .417 and had four blocks. Junior setter Hannah Allison recorded the team’s other double-double with 11 digs and 41 assists.

For Kansas State, junior middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger led the Wildcats with 15 kills and five digs with a .184 hitting line.

In set one, the lead changed hands several times, coming to an 18-17 Texas lead off of a score by Pelger. A Wildcat service error led to a seven-point rally that brought the score to 25-17 and an end to the first set.

The second set started off rocky for Texas, with Kansas State building an early 10-4 lead.

Several well-timed scores by the Wildcats brought them to set point at 24-21, but three state errors by Kansas State had the

In addition, West Virginia went 7-for-7 in the red zone.

“It’s very frustrating, but a lot of their fourth downs were fourth-and-short, and those are hard to stop,” senior defensive end Alex Okafor said.

“I mean, it’s frustrating, but we just have to move on from it and pick it up. We just need to make more plays on defense.”

Granted, the attempt should have been much closer, but due to a botched snap he was moved back.

In addition to Fera’s miss, the kickoff coverage team allowed Austin a 44-yard and 67-yard return. With an offense like West Virginia’s, allowing that kind of field position was costly.

contributed to six of nine points for the Longhorns during their comeback late in set two.

“I think we knew we couldn’t give up,” Eckerman said. “We practice a drill like that all the time when someone is trailing 19-17, so we just had to keep on fighting and work our way back.”

The Longhorns had an easier time containing the Wildcats in set three. They jumped to an early 13-5 lead off of an error by Kansas State and three kills each from Eckerman and senior utility Sha’Dare McNeal and two from junior outside hitter Bailey Webster.

Special Teams: CKicker Anthony Fera’s 41-yard missed field goal arguably cost the Longhorns the game. The kickoff coverage team struggled and allowed both a 44-yard and 67-yard kickoff return.

Defense: C+ Defense held Geno Smith to 268 yards with four sacks and two fumbles, but they allowed 192 net rushing yards and several fourth down conversions.

Sophomore Joe Bergeron set a career-high four rushing touchdowns in the game and now leads the Longhorns with nine touchdowns this season. His last touchdown of the game gave Texas a 38-34 lead at the end of the third quarter.

While Johnathan Gray is still looking for his first touchdown as a Longhorn, he led the rushing attack with 87 yards on 14 carries. His 49-yard run in the second quarter put the Longhorns on the one-yard line and Bergeron came on the field and scored a touchdown.

“Every week he is getting better,” Bergeron said about Gray. “I can see it in his eyes.

He has no fear. You need that in a young guy like him.

Look at him on the sidelines, he’s so anxious just to get in.”

Steve Taylor tells the tale of a 19-year-old from Texas attending progressive, liberal college in the film “Blue Like Jazz.”

“Last Dance,” a collaborative film between author Maurice Sendak and the Pilobolus Dance Theatre, derive their inspiration from the past. The photography exhibit captures the raw human emotion and pain felt years after the war.

Photojournalism professor Dennis Darling and Loli Kantor, a fine art and documentary photographer, have worked diligently to capture the stories and images of those last remaining survivors of Terezín and exhibit them as part of the Symposium.

“It’s the last living history,” Darling said. “It’s the last image of the Holocaust.

Right now you can still talk to someone who has gone through it, so I talk to as many as possible. All are unique; the only common thread is that they were in Terezín together.”

Capturing the memories of those interned at Terezín has immortalized their history. Presenting “Creativity

not dig a well in Rwanda” with the proceeds?

“Students for Clean Water has a proven track for their goals to end the world’s water crisis,” Ramirez said. “We decided we wanted to help them reach that goal.”

Students for Clean Water is an organization that promotes awareness on campus about the lack of clean water in developing countries. Currently the non-profit organization is raising money to help support the Rulindo District of Rwanda.

“Water is so openly available to people in developed countries that we take it for granted,” Zabin Marediya, president of Students for Clean Water,

said. “Many people don’t realize how dire a need it is to have clean water and how large of an impact the lack of clean and safe drinking water can have on one’s life. Many lives are lost due to dehydration and diarrhea alone, both of which can be prevented.”

To date, the organization has raised more than $65,000 to support development of clean water resources in communities and has said that all of the proceeds from the “Blue Like Jazz” event will go directly toward supporting the Rulindo District Water project.

Plan II freshman Akos Furton said he is going to the “Blue Like Jazz” event

because he believes Students for Clean Water is making a lasting impact.

“A well in Africa is a long-term benefit to a community,” Furton said.

“So I feel like Students for Clean Water are aiding a community for a long time.”

in the Face of Death: The Contemporary Resonance of Terezín,” the Schusterman Center and Texas Performing Arts work to intertwine the arts and the dramatic history of World War II into a program that provides students and the community with the opportunity to experience living history.

“First of all, it’s a fascinating history, a deeply relevant history to our increasingly and still violent world. You can learn a lot about something that is ultimately an important question,” Abzug said. “It is the preservation of the human spirit and the preservation in the face of death.

The depths of human spirit and resilience are important to continue to be humane human beings in the face of enormous odds.”

The importance of this remembrance transcends generations.

Featuring the UIL award-winning performance of Celeste

Rapanti’s “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” by students from Bastrop High School, the Symposium highlights art as a means of Holocaust education. The play features the art and thoughts of those children growing up in the nightmarish camp. It connects the abstract history of the Holocaust with the reality of fear felt by children. “‘I Never Saw Another Butterfly’ was one of the first books I saw or read about the Holocaust,” Abzug said. “The first exposure has a real impact. I think it lived with me and still lives with me.”

Yet the next generation of students will be educated in decades devoid of living history; the Holocaust and its survivors will be only read about. The Symposium memorializes those who were killed in the Holocaust while depicting the creative triumphs of the resilient few who created art under the Nazi regime.

his own. These songs would later get him noticed by British songstress Adele, who asked Kiwanuka to open for her for part of her 2011 tour. Even though Kiwanuka’s musical emotion is milder than Adele’s tales of heartbreak and lost love, the tone of his voice conveys feelings of yearning and hope for love just as clearly.

This year has brought Kiwanuka a flurry of United States tour dates and festival slots like Lollapalooza in Chicago and Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival in San Francisco in addition to his upcoming performance at the ACL Festival. And Home Again is in the running for the 2012 Barclaycard Mercury Prize, an annual hon-

or bestowed upon the best album from the United Kingdom and Ireland.

In the midst of all this industry buzz, Kiwanuka remains humble about his success.

“When you get to support artists, you get to play music for an audience that might not have heard you otherwise,” Kiwanuka said. “But it’s nice to finally have a chance to do my own thing.”

Home Again showcases Kiwanuka “doing his own thing” beautifully. The album opens with “Tell Me a Tale,” a song with slowburning electric jazz guitar and a ‘70s jazz flute.

Kiwanuka’s voice is full of deep yearning: “Lord, I need loving/Lord, I need good, good loving.” His voice has the sweetness

and maturity of soul musicians Bill Withers and Otis Redding with the added swing of his British accent.

On tracks such as “Home Again” and “I’m Getting Ready,” his acoustic guitar playing is folksy and simple. And while his music is a nod to a bygone musical era, Kiwanuka holds his own in the year 2012 as a voice from another time.

Kiwanuka is looking forward to visiting Austin since his shows last spring during South By Southwest. “I do like the town because there’s a lot of music lovers there,” Kiwanuka said. “I do like playing places like that.”

Kiwanuka will be playing at ACL Festival at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at the Austin Ventures stage.

Exhibit reflects Holocaust camp

By Olivia Arena Revealing evocative performances from and inspired by the Nazi concentration camp Terezín, “Creativity in the Face of Death: The Contemporary Resonance of Terezín” is a three-day symposium hosted by the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies and Texas Performing Arts that explores the resilient creativity of those interned at the camp. The Symposium features works from the artists held in Terezín and works influenced by the art that they produced.

Used by the Nazis as an exhibition concentration camp to assure neutral nations and groups in World War II, Terezín housed thousands of the most talented musicians, artists, poets and writers from across Europe.

Set against the gruesome backdrop of the Nazi regime, Terezín offered a strange cultural escape from the bleakness of World War II. “It was this weird cultural life,” said Robert Abzug, history and American studies professor and coordinator of the Symposium and Director of the Schusterman Center at UT. “There were the best musicians in Europe, with jazz musicians and cabaret actors. The creative

output was extraordinary.

This idea of artists working under those conditions was such an inspiration and such a testament to the human spirit. That alone was compelling just to see the way that it has inspired other artists.”

The Terezín Symposium is a conglomeration of different reactions and depictions of the bizarre reality of life in Terezín. Allowing concerts and performances to continue, the Nazis portrayed Terezín as a cultural oasis throughout the war.

From a Holocaust film depicting the difficulties of the collaborative process to the music of internationally known British violinist Daniel Hope, the performances portray the resilience of creativity. Although they are an unconventional response to the Holocaust, the performances exhibited allow the audience to internalize the message of the pieces.

“Public performance reflects societal ideas about identity, contributes to how society is shaped or reshaped, memorializes and responds to history,” said Rebecca Rossen, a dance history professor and one of the co-organizers of the Symposium. “Performance provides a very unique means

to respond to the Holocaust.

How can performance help us grasp something that is ungraspable and bear witness to that to make sure that this history is not lost?”

Preceding Daniel Hope and Friends’ orchestral performance, “Forbidden Music,” Oct. 9, Rossen will speak

on the history of dances about the Holocaust.

“Because dance is not always linear — it’s not so obviously narrative the way a lot of films are — dance can capture the disorientation, emotion, difficulty and impact of an event in a very symbolic but poignant

way,” Rossen said.

Representing the modern relevancy of Holocaust history, collaborative pieces juxtapose the past of Terezín with the modernity of the elements used in its portrayal.

MUSIC PROFILE | MICHAEL KIWANUKA

London artist debuts at ACL, brings American soul music

By Elizabeth Williams On first listen, Michael Kiwanuka’s debut album Home Again does not sound like it was recorded a mere year ago. The deep, fuzzy warmth of the album makes sounds like some long-lost American soul musician from the ‘70s rather than a 24-yearold singer-songwriter from London.

While the amount of electronic indie pop and rock bands seems to be on

a never-ending rise, it is this time-spanning musician that was announced as the most promising new talent of the year by the music industry insiders behind the BBC’s Sound of 2012 poll.

“I found my influences to be friends from school that showed me music from an early age,” Kiwanuka said. “We just bonded over bands we liked.”

After picking up a guitar while in school and jamming with classmates, Kiwanuka turned his

passion for playing into a career. “I started playing professionally in my late teens so I could get a bit of money and play for other people around London,” Kiwanuka said. He began working as a studio musician, playing guitar for recording sessions and live performances with London artists like Chipmunk and Bashy.

As his session career continued, Kiwanuka began writing songs of

Film showing advocates clean water

By Faith Ann Ruszkowski auditorium, UT students upbringing in Texas and When the average American is noisily guzzling down water, sugary drinks and other carbonated beverages in a dark theater while watching a great movie, it is relatively safe to assume they are not questioning the cleanliness of the water in their drink.

“Blue Like Jazz,” presented by the UT organization Significance & Cinema, is not a film about clean water. Rather, it is the story of a teenager named Don, who is ashamed of his cultlike conservative Christian
