Enrollment at public universities is increasing across Texas, not just at UT-Austin. Texas A&M University, the University of North Texas, Texas State University, Texas Tech University and the University of Houston all saw increased enrollments this
year. This is the 15th consecutive year Texas State’s and the fourth consecutive year Texas Tech’s enrollments have increased. Texas Tech admissions director Ethan Logan said the downturn in the national economy has contributed to statewide increased enrollment, among other factors. “Generally, when you have a downturn in the
economy you have an upturn in enrollment,” Logan said. “The economy starts to depress, and there are a lot of folks who want to go to college to improve the opportunity to get a job and make a good wage.” UT-Austin admitted 8,092 first-year students this fall, which is a 13.2-percent increase from last year and its largest in history. UT’s
total enrollment is the second largest in the school’s history at 52,213. The University did not plan to admit so many students this year. Every year, the University offers admissions assuming that some students will decline admissions offers. More students than anticipated accepted admission offers. While UT faced problems

with its increased enrollment, including housing issues, other institutions were expecting or working for their increase. Texas A&M’s total enrollment has reached more than 50,000. This is the first time A&M has passed the 50,000-student milestone. In an email, Texas A&M

UT officials are in Washington, D.C., today for oral arguments in a Supreme Court case whose outcome will have implications for how universities can factor race into admission decisions. Abigail Fisher sued the University in 2008, claiming its consideration of race as a factor for some students’ admission unfairly discriminated against her as a white applicant. The case has reached the Supreme Court, and the court will likely rule by the summer. Oral arguments Wednesday will include statements from attorneys representing both sides of the case and from U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr., who will represent the federal government in supporting the University’s position. UT admits three quarters of each freshman class automatically based on high school class rank. It admits the remaining quarter under a system that considers an applicant’s race, among many other factors. The court’s newest member, Justice Elena Kagan, has removed herself from any role in deciding the case be-

Hook the Vote provides tables on campus to register students By Carly Coen Students flocked to tables across campus Tuesday to prepare for the forthcoming election on the last day of voter registration. Hook the Vote, a nonpartisan, student-run organization to promote voting and voter registration to UT students, hosted its
final day of voter registration tables throughout campus. Although students have had opportunities to register earlier in the year, the tables received their largest turnout Tuesday, Billy Calve, Hook the Vote director, said. Calve, who is a government senior, said the organization sets up tables to raise voter awareness and
to ensure students register to vote. The organization’s usual efforts were supplemented with additional tables on Gregory Plaza and a voter registration rally that lasted until midnight. Calve said getting students registered to vote is important, especially since students’ schedules are

Following the Monday arrest of undeclared junior Garret Ross Phillips for his alleged involvement in a minor breach of UT’s online security system last spring, some have raised safety concerns about the possibility of similar attacks causing more damage in the future. An arrest warrant for Phillips was issued Friday in relation to the attack. Phillips was charged with breach of computer safety, a state jail felony with a penalty of up to two years, in prison Monday for his alleged involvement. Roger Wade, spokesperson for the Travis County Sheriff ’s Office, said Phillips turned himself into police Monday afternoon and was arrested around 2:00 p.m. Phillips was released on bond around 5 p.m. that day. Charles Bonnet, University of Texas Police Department sergeant, said last April’s “denial of service” cyber attack, which overloaded UT’s registration website and shut it down for a four-hour period, is very common worldwide and hard to control, even with the advanced technology used by the University. Although the University has added back-up websites that students can be redirected to in the case of
a crash, this still leaves University websites vulnerable to such a threat, Bonnet said. He said this presents major safety concerns as the attacks become more common, because a denial of service attack could be used to disable a vital University website. “You can use your imagination,” Bonnet said. “But we live in a world where everything is run by computers, and websites are very common, so if someone takes down a certain website, that can affect a great number of people. In this case, it was a few thousand students, but I’m sure you can imagine that it could be a lot worse.” Bonnet said a denial of service attack on websites that contain important safety information could lead to serious safety issues, especially if they were taken down during an emergency situation. Bonnet said this is the first attack of its kind the University has seen, but denial of service attacks are happening more frequently worldwide. “[Denial of service attacks] are relatively easy to do, but the word we want to get out is just because it is easy to do and you may think it’s funny, that doesn’t mean it is not going to come with serious consequences,” he said.
Garret Ross Phillips Undeclared junior
Phillips directed comments on the situation to his attorney, Sam Bassett, who declined to comment because he is still investigating the case and whether anyone else had access to Phillips’ laptop at the time of the attack. According to Friday’s affidavit, UT Information Technology Office was able to trace the attack back to Phillips’ laptop. According to a press release issued by the University Tuesday, other than the back-up websites, multiple security measures are in place to prevent cyber attacks from happening, including firewalls, routine system management, disablement of unnecessary network services, monitoring of system performance and usage, use of physical security controls, routine backup of critical University services, a “robust University network infrastructure” and relevant Information Technology Services procedures.

I wanted to find a way to give back.” He said he went to his brother, who is a filmmaker, to ask for help. “I showed him the logo I had made, and he was like ‘No. That’s not going to work,’” Farhad Rizvi said. Since then the two have been working on the project together. Farhad Rizvi, who used to work for Facebook, has dealt with sales and advertising. Hammad Rizvi has created videos and marketed Shamak.
“As this continues to grow, hopefully this will have a ripple effect,” Hammad Rizvi said. “People are really excited about this and what this does for kids.” Farhad Rizvi said he hopes the company can grow to sell more than just sandals. “Right now we’re just a shoe company, but I’d like to see us expand to a fashion company that has shirts, bags and stuff like that,” Farhad Rizvi said. “If we’re able to grow so big that we can build schools in different parts of the world, that’d be incredible. That’s been my vision since day one.”

usually busy. “All we want is to get a lot of people out there to try and change the way the politics are,” Calve said. “The rally was really exciting, because it gave us a chance to celebrate voting and the pleasures and rewards that come with it.” English junior Betsy Roche said the rush to register on the last day was unsurprising given that students have become more aware of the deadline as it approached. “People came on the last day seeking us out rather than us trying to pull them in,” Roche
said. “It’s going to be cool to see how local elections play out this year, knowing that so many UT students are going to be voting.” Communication studies senior Presley Hall said other organizations are hard at work to get students registered. Hall said her sorority made it a priority to get its members registered to vote. “We had a meeting at my sorority the night before the deadline, and registration was first and last on the agenda. Whether you are really into politics or not, voting is important,” she said.

In a telephone interview, finance junior Charles Branch, who is president of UT’s chapter of Phi Gamma Delta, said he was excited to hear that the commission agreed with the fraternity’s position. “We hope that the City Council agrees with [the Planning Commission],” he said. On Nov. 1 the recommendation will go before the Austin City Council, which will consider the Planning Commission and Landmark Commission’s conflicting recommendations before it offically decides the house’s status. Planning Commission member Jean Stevens said although she considers herself a preservationist, she does not believe there is a substantial case supporting the designation of historical status. “I was trying to figure out ways I could call in sick tonight so I wouldn’t have to vote on it,” Stevens said. She said she would support relocating the house to avoid demolition. The house, built in 1915 and located behind the fraternity’s main house at 2707 Hemphill Park, is the former residence of UT professor S. Leroy Brown, who created WCM, Austin’s first broadcast radio station. The station eventually became KUT, Austin’s National Public Radio affiliate. Brown is also credited with the invention of a device considered an early analog computer, according to the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History. “This was a huge achievement by Dr. Brown and led the way to digital computing,” Austin Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky said.

“One might even say that Dr. Brown established Austin as a center for the digital age and the digital industry that eventually took hold here.” Brown lived in the house until his death in 1966. The fraternity purchased the property in 1995 after a local business, the Martha Ann Zivley Typing Service, vacated. Sadowsky said the house’s association with Brown and Dutch Colonial Revival-style architecture were grounds for assigning the building historic status. John Donisi, an attorney representing Phi Gamma Delta, said KUT recognizes Bob Schenkkan as KUT’s founder, not Brown. He referred the commission to a notice of Schenkkan’s memorial service published on KUT’s website in 2011 that acknowledges Schenkkan as the founder. He said other houses in the area exhibit the same type of architecture and have been designated historical landmarks, which contradicts the claim that the house needs to be preserved for architectural purposes. “We’re not at a loss for this type of architecture,” Donisi said. Donisi said the fraternity also supports relocation over demolition, but the fraternity has not found property to accommodate the house or a property owner willing to use their property for relocation. Mary Ingle, North University Neighborhood Association officer, said she also supports relocating the house and allowing the fraternity to pursue their construction plans. “It is rather unusual and it is kind of cute, but it is not for the neighborhood,” she said.

Race cannot be ignored
Today the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in in the case filed by Abigail Fisher, a white woman who alleges she was discriminated against when UT denied her admission in 2008. The eventual ruling may end all consideration of college applicants’ race. Meanwhile, this campus, not just its admissions office, remains haunted by questions about race. Last week, 100 people marched through West Campus. The protesters, mostly black and Hispanic students, were protesting in response to several UT students’ allegations that bleach-filled balloons were hurled at them from the balconies of the surrounding high-rise apartments. The students believe the attacks were racially motivated. Recent stories in The Daily Texan found that the majority of the Asian and white undergraduates residing off-campus live in West Campus, where the water balloon attacks are alleged to have taken place. Most Hispanic and black undergraduates live on East Riverside, where rents are lower and violent crime is three times more frequent. In between the high West Campus apartment buildings are the older fraternity and sorority houses, which represent a long tradition at UT. The marchers targeted their protest at these houses too. A few weeks after the bleach balloon incidents were reported, a sorority hosted — and a fraternity planned to host — fiesta-themed costume parties. The fraternity’s party was scheduled to feature a dividing line down the party room representing the U.S.-Mexico border, which guests would have to cross. The Daily Texan’s stories about the protest, the bleach balloons and the theme parties were met with skepticism and suspicion. Many students wrote emails surmising that the bleach-filled balloon incidents were not racially motivated, but rather attacks directed at sorority girls who in annual beginning-of-the-year rush activities walk through West Campus streets in droves and are targeted by these balloons. (The practice is undeniably disgusting and horrible, regardless of who is being targeted.) Others dismissed the protest
as an overreaction, a caricature of the 1960s and not evidence of real racism on campus. But anyone observing the protester’s movement through the streets sensed tension. Some students seated on outside patios made rude gestures at the procession of the hesitant, but firmly chanting crowd, which repeated, “Don’t you hate, don’t you fear, people of color are welcome here.” In a truck, a group of white college-aged men fixed stares at the protesters as their vehicle rode behind at less than 20 miles per hour. Uneasiness, discomfort and a sense of us-vs.-them hung in the air. At the heart of the Fisher case is what role a student’s race plays in determining his role, if any, in a classroom. “Diversity” is a word with no universally understood meaning. Race alone is a crude way to decide what quotient of diversity any one student brings to the classroom. But the way UT considers race is holistically, or as one of many factors. UT admissions officers are aware of the applicant’s race, among their other qualities. If the Supreme Court decides UT’s use of race is unconstitutional and the Texas Legislature takes no action, the class of 2015 will likely be entirely Top 10 Percent students. No other means of admitting students will be available. Citing the stigma associated with race-conscious admissions, Fisher’s brief argues that when UT considers race, the cost outweighs the benefit. In fact, admission statistics show UT’s holistic review process does not admit many under-qualified black and Hispanic students, in the service of classroom diversity, as some suggest. Out of the in-state students admitted in 2011, 41 percent of students admitted through the Top 10 Percent Law were white. By comparison, 58 percent admitted through race-conscious holistic review were white. In the same class, 41 percent admitted through the Top 10 Percent Law come from households with incomes above $100,000, 61 percent admitted through race-conscious holistic review come from such households. Our unconfirmed suspicion: UT uses holistic re-

view to admit non-Top 10 Percent students from suburban Dallas and Houston high schools, whose high SAT scores boost the University’s national rankings. This past year, UT admitted 392 students from Plano alone. Generously, 300 of those students were admitted through the Top 10 Percent Law. Questions about race dominate UT’s history. UT has been at the center of three deciding cases about race in admissions at the Supreme Court: Sweatt, Hopwood and now Fisher. To argue for decades about how race factors into a student’s admission, as these cases have, but to shy away from harder questions about how her race affects her treatment once she arrives on campus is dishonest, and that deceit tethers this campus to its cyclical history of race-related incidents. We have agreed as a society to treat others fairly regardless of the color of their skin. Fisher, who graduated among the top 11 percent of her high school class, missed the magic Top 10 cutoff. Then she failed to make the holistic cut. She says her race, if not doomed her, at least disadvantaged her. We disagree. UT’s holistic review policy acknowledges a person’s race, but, the numbers show, in few cases is it the deciding factor. Almost all of us acknowledge a person’s race when he enters a room, even more so when he is the only black student in a classroom of 200. By suggesting race is not something to consider, Fisher’s advocates suggest it is not something others take into account. The Supreme Court should side with UT. The University should be able to consider race because UT students consider race when they look around the classroom.

It’s all queer to me By edgar Walters Daily Texan Columnist
Lesbian. Heterosexual. Transgender. Bisexual. Gay. Questioning. Asexual. Queer. Language is foundational to any conversation, and for the queer community, it is a double-edged sword. Language choice is frequently a source of contention, but it’s also the power behind our ability to educate the community about queer issues. I argue that language is often used to the detriment of the queer community. To avoid causing harm with this column, I feel compelled to clarify the word “queer.” I use the term as one of empowerment; it encompasses all identities sometimes cumbersomely described by LGBT-related acronyms. “Queer,” as I use it, is free from any externally applied derogatory connotations. An obvious indicator of language’s impact is the effect of hate speech (or, ideally, lack thereof) on campus. Luckily, UT seems to be doing well on this front — with room for improvement. The University launched the Campus Climate Response Team in March 2012 as part of a “positive push to acknowledge that we want a university campus that is inclusive and welcoming of all communities,” said team member Katherine Antwi Green. The CCRT represents an effort on behalf of the University to combat hate speech directly, and it seems to be meeting success. According to the Princeton Review, UT scores decently on the campus LGBT-friendliness scale, especially in comparison to other Texas universities. That’s something to take pride in. But overtly hateful speech is hardly the only way language can marginalize queer people on campus. Faculty and staff in particular often make comments that come across as insensitive
without actually breaking any rules. For example, the use of the word “transgendered,” while technically correct in some academic fields, is widely considered disrespectful by some. A better approach is to remember that transgender reflects an identity, not an action. The term “transgendered” is as inaccurate as referring to a person as having “gayed” or “lesbianed.” Unfortunately, not all institutions on campus have successfully accommodated the language of identity, including this newspaper. Shane Whalley, Education Coordinator for the Gender and Sexuality Center, has spoken to the Texan several times in the past five years but faced inconsistent pronoun usage. Whalley, whose pronouns are the gender-neutral ze/hir/hirs, is rarely quoted as such. The usual justification is that the Texan meets AP style guidelines, which aren’t apparently progressive when it comes to pronouns. As a result, queer identity on campus can be marginalized by the media even in efforts to raise awareness. Another telling example of seemingly innocuous language about the queer community centers around the recent push for so-called Competitive Insurance Benefits. Formerly called Domestic Partner Benefits, this initiative would provide the partners of queer faculty the same amenities as their heterosexual counterparts. The new name came about due to fear that conservative higher-ups would shy away from expenditures benefiting domestic partners. The new name instead appeals to the Texas constitutional requirement of keeping the University competitive, broadly defined. My utilitarian instinct is highly supportive of the renaming. The insurance benefits, if passed, will in fact help the University maintain a high level of competitiveness, in addition to being in the best interest of equality. What’s problematic, though, is that the renaming itself is indicative of a larger problem: queer people

on this campus must resort to either covert or assimilationist approaches in order to have their problems addressed. Queer faculty have cause for concern when the only way their domestic partners can receive benefits is if they are erased from the official language and public consciousness. Last month, a man assaulted two gay men downtown. One of them lost eight teeth and required fifteen stitches. This Saturday, GetEQUAL Texas rallied against hate at the Capitol in response. Ten days earlier, the City of Austin pledged its support for samesex marriage, a stance diametrically opposed to a 2005 amendment to the Texas Constitution, which bans both same-sex marriage and “any legal status identical or similar to marriage.” So where exactly do we stand at the University? I certainly can’t claim to speak for the entire campus queer community (and Whalley does not either), but the general consensus seems to be that UT does a good job of fostering a safe campus climate. Though a laudable achievement, it is only a preliminary step toward the ultimate goal of promoting a fully inclusive environment. For now, queer people tend to feel like they’ve received a formal invitation to the “You belong on campus!” party, but a slight improvement to campus-wide tone could help us feel genuinely welcome and ready to dance. Walters is a Plan II sophomore from Houston.

NEWS BRIEFLY Skydiver postpones supersonic jump ROSWELL, N.M. — For the second straight day, extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner aborted his planned death-defying 23-mile free fall because of the weather, postponing his quest to become the world’s first supersonic skydiver until at least Thursday. As he sat Tuesday morning in the pressurized capsule waiting for a 55-story, ultrathin helium balloon to fill and carry him into the stratosphere, a 25 mph gust rushed across a field near the airport in Roswell, N.M. The balloon is so delicate that it can only take off if winds are 2 mph or below on the ground.
Taliban gunman kills 14-year-old activist MINGORA, Pakistan — Fourteen-year-old Malala Yousufzai was admired across a battle-scarred region of Pakistan for exposing the Taliban’s atrocities and advocating for girls’ education in the face of religious extremists. On Tuesday, the Taliban nearly killed her to quiet her message. A gunman walked up to a bus taking children home from school in the volatile northern Swat Valley and shot Malala in the head and neck. Another girl on the bus was also wounded. A doctor in the city of Mingora, Tariq Mohammad, said her wounds weren’t lifethreatening, but a provincial information minister said after a medical board examined the girl that the next few days would be crucial.
Al-Qaida comeback to be expected BAGHDAD — Al-Qaida is rebuilding in Iraq and has set up training camps for insurgents in the nation’s western deserts as the extremist group seizes on regional instability and government security failures to regain strength, officials say. Iraq has seen a jump in alQaida attacks over the last 10 weeks, and officials believe most of the fighters are former prisoners who have either escaped from jail or were released by Iraqi authorities for lack of evidence after the U.S. military withdrawal last December. Iraqi and U.S. officials say the insurgent group has more than doubled in numbers from a year ago — from about 1,000 to 2,500 fighters. And it is carrying out an average of 140 attacks each week across Iraq, up from 75 attacks each week earlier this year, according to Pentagon data.
Killers use Craigslist to lure in victims AKRON, Ohio — A teenager charged in a deadly scheme to lure victims with phony Craigslist job offers went on trial on murder charges Tuesday, waving to prospective jurors when he was introduced in court and taking notes and conferring with his attorneys during jury selection. Brogan Rafferty, 17, of Stow, is being tried as an adult. He and his co-defendant, Richard Beasley, 53, of Akron, have pleaded not guilty. Beasley will be tried separately. Three men were killed last year — two in Noble County in southeast Ohio and one found slain in Summit County near an Akron shopping mall — after responding to what authorities said were bogus online job postings. Rafferty cannot face execution because he was a juvenile at the time of the crimes. Instead, he could face life in prison. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Beasley. — Compiled from Assocated Press reports

Candidates campaign in fewer states By Thomas Beaumont Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. — So much for Mitt Romney’s plans to compete for Democratic-trending Michigan or Pennsylvania. And what about President Barack Obama’s early hopes of fighting it out for Republicantilting Arizona, Georgia or Texas? Forget them. The presidential battleground map is as compact as it’s been in decades, with just nine states seeing the bulk of candidate visits, campaign ads and get-out-the-vote efforts in the hunt for the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory. That means just a fraction of Americans will determine the outcome of the race for the White House. A month before Election Day, both candidates are concentrating their precious time and money in the handful of states that still seem to be competitive: Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin. Obama succeeded in expanding the map in 2008 by winning the traditionally Republican states of Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia. But it took a Democratic tidal wave to do so, and he was the exception in a nation that’s grown increasingly polarized, with demographic shifts heralding Democratic victories in the Northeast and on the West Coast and Republican dominance in the West and South. “Politics in the country has become homogenized regionally and culturally,” said Steve Schmidt, a veteran

of Republican presidential campaigns. So, he added: “You’re left with the only states that have the population and demographic mix where it’s in question who is going to be on top at the finish line.” The trend is clear. Over the past 20 years, markedly fewer states have been competitive in presidential elections. In 1992, there were 33 decided by fewer than 10 percentage points. In 2008, just 15. Despite seemingly having the money to compete on a bigger playing field, neither Romney nor Obama is going after some states that long had been perennial swingvoting battlegrounds.

Sandusky denies wrongdoing, sentenced 30-60 years in prison By Mark Scolforo Associated Press
BELLEFONTE, Pa. — In what sounded at times like a locker room pep talk, Jerry Sandusky rambled in his red prison suit about being the underdog in the fourth quarter, about forgiveness, about dogs and about the movie “Seabiscuit.” With his accusers seated behind him in the courtroom, he denied committing “disgusting acts” against children and instead painted himself as the victim. And then, after he had said his piece, a judge sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in prison Tuesday, all but ensuring the 68-year-old Sandusky will spend the rest of his life behind bars for the child sexual abuse scandal that brought disgrace to Penn State and triggered the downfall of his former boss, football coach Joe Paterno. He leaves behind a trail of human and legal wreckage
that could take years for the university to clear away. “The tragedy of this crime is that it’s a story of betrayal. The most obvious aspect is your betrayal of 10 children,” Judge John Cleland said after a hearing in which three of the men Sandusky was convicted of molesting as boys confronted him face to face and told of the lasting pain he had inflicted. The judge said he expects Sandusky to die in prison. In a disjointed, 15-minute address before he learned his sentence, Sandusky said: “In my heart I did not do these alleged disgusting acts.” He also spoke of instances in which he helped children and did good works in the community, adding: “I’ve forgiven, I’ve been forgiven. I’ve comforted others, I’ve been comforted. I’ve been kissed by dogs, I’ve been bit by dogs. I’ve conformed, I’ve also been different. I’ve been me. I’ve been loved, I’ve been hated.” Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts, found
guilty of raping or fondling boys he had met through the acclaimed youth charity he founded, The Second Mile. He plans to appeal, arguing among other things that his defense was not given enough time to prepare for trial after his arrest last November.

MEXICO CITY — Mexican marines gunned down one of Mexico’s most feared drug lords outside a baseball game near the Texas border, then handed over the body to local authorities in a town where it was snatched by armed men in a pre-dawn raid on a funeral home, officials said Tuesday. The theft of the body believed to belong to Zetas founding member Heriberto Lazcano adds a bizarre and embarrassing twist to one of the most significant victories in Mexico’s militarized battle with organized crime, two months before the man who sharply expanded it, President Felipe Calderon, leaves office. Officials said that, with the body missing, the remaining evidence of Lazcano’s fall consists of three fingerprints and a few photos of the army special forces deserter whose brutal paramilitary tactics helped define the devastating six-year war among Mexico’s drug gangs and authorities. Calderon said in a speech Tuesday that the evidence clearly indicated that Lazcano had been killed, and he praised the marines’ action, though the president stopped short of an unqualified declaration that the Zetas’ leader was dead. Coahuila state Attorney General Homero Ramos said two men were killed outside a baseball game in the town of Progreso Sunday in a gunfight with Mexican marines, the force that has carried most of the recent high-profile operations against drug lords. Many of those operations were launched in cooperation with U.S. officials, who see the marines as more trustworthy and competent
Ramos and the Mexican navy said the fingerprints of one man matched the records of Lazcano. Early Monday morning, Ramos said, a group of armed men raided the funeral home where the bodies were kept, and forced the funeral director to drive the hearse with the corpses to another location. He did not offer details. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City said in an emailed statement that, “We have seen reports of the possible death of Heriberto Lazcano. We are awaiting confirmation of those reports.” Lazcano, who is also known as “El Verdugo” (the Executioner), was credited with bringing military tactics and training to the enforcement arm of the once-powerful Gulf Cartel, then splitting from his former bosses and turning the Zetas into one of the country’s two most potent cartels, with a penchant for headline-grabbing atrocities and control of territory stretching along the U.S. border and at least as far south as Guatemala. The Zetas have carried out some of Mexico’s bloodiest massacres, biggest jail breaks and fiercest attacks on authorities. Grabbing the bodies of fallen accomplices is a trademark of the Zetas, who have retained some of the tactics and institutional culture of the military deserters who founded the group, said George Grayson, an expert on the Zetas and co-author of “The Executioner’s Men: Los Zetas, Rogue Soldiers, Criminal Entrepreneurs and the Shadow State They Created.” “The Zetas take care of their dead,” he said. “El Lazca was special forces. There is an esprit de corps, like the Marines. They never leave a comrade behind.”

continues from page 1 spokesperson Jason Cook said the large student body has not caused the university any problems. “University officials here anticipated the increases and planned accordingly, so the effects of the larger student body have been manageable,” Cook said. Fall 2012 marked the 15th consecutive year Texas State has set a new record for its enrollment. Total enrollment was at 34,229, up from 34,113 last year. Texas State saw its second largest incoming freshman class at 4,251 students. Texas Tech has also seen a steady increase in its enrollment figures for multiple years. This is the
fourth consecutive year of increased enrollment. Logan said Tech has been working on increasing its enrollment since 2008. He said the university’s goal is to reach 40,000 students by 2020. Logan said the increase is designed to be gradual so that Texas Tech’s resources are not taxed. “At this point we have not reached a critical increase that has challenged the resources of our institution,” Logan said. “We are trying to be conservative in the effort in growing the enrollment.” He said the university is responding to the steady increase with new resources. For example, Texas Tech opened a new residential hall this year. University of North Texas saw a 9.2-percent increase in its first-year enrollment to 4,444 students.

The Pflugerville Independent School District will offer insurance benefits to same-sex and heterosexual domestic partners, benefits which UT-Austin employees are not eligible for. A staff insurance committee in the school district made the recommendation to offer domestic partner benefits, school district spokesperson Amanda Brim said. Employees can begin enrolling in the program the week of Oct. 15, and the program goes into effect Jan. 1, 2013. Possible requirements to qualify as a domestic partnership include providing proof of a joint lease, a joint mortgage or the joint ownership of a vehicle. Charles Dupre, superintendent of Pflugerville Independent School District, said providing an avenue for increased insurance coverage is in the best interest of employees and the district. “In Pflugerville we recognize that families come in all shapes and sizes,” Dupre said. “We value all our staff members, and we want them to be able to care for their families.” UT spokesperson Cynthia Posey said according to Chapter 1601 of the Texas Insurance Code, an employee is eligible for employee group insurance benefits only if the person related to the employee is a dependent. She said a
“dependent,” as defined by the code, only includes a child or a “spouse” of an employee eligible for benefits, with a spouse being narrowly defined as a marriage between a man and a woman. “Same and opposite-sex domestic partners are ineligible for benefits because, by definition, a ‘domestic partnership’ is something other than a marriage and thus does not meet the statutory definition of ‘spouse,’” Posey said. Unless state law is changed, the University is prohibited from offering dependent benefits based upon either same-sex or opposite-sex domestic partnerships. Government senior Robert Nunez said he believes the school district’s decision to extend benefits to domestic partners is a welcoming one. Nunez, who is also a member of Delta Lambda Phi, a fraternity for gay, bisexual and progressive men, said this step illustrates that decisions by political leaders should be based on the interests of all people and not solely on the basis of public opinion or ideology. “I hope this will encourage other institutions of education, businesses and governments to extend rights and benefits to all regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression,” Nunez said. “We must always remember to include all people when making vital decisions in society.”

Gray patiently waiting for first touchdown By Chris Hummer In high school, Johnathan Gray rushed for a nationalrecord 205 touchdowns, but through five games in college he has just as many as all of his offensive linemen put together — none. This isn’t exactly his fault, though. Gray has run well during his freshman campaign and has shown the poise and patience of an upperclassman. Still, none of those attributes have helped him reach the end zone. Last Saturday against West Virginia, he had his best opportunity to score yet. The offensive line created a large hole in the middle of the field and after one cut, Gray was gone. Well, almost. He ran 49 yards before getting caught from behind on the 1-yard line, falling just inches short of his goal. Most backs would get the opportunity to punch it in

Although Jeffcoat scored the touchdown, Okafor was named one of the Big 12 Defensive Players of the Week. He forced Smith to fumble

Jones, the Sooners’ all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns (13,411 yards, 100 TDs), hasn’t put up eye-popping numbers so far this season but somehow always seems to show up for the Red River Rivalry. Let’s take a look at Jones’ stats versus the Longhorns. In 2009 when starting quarterback Sam Bradford went down for the season after being sacked by Aaron Williams, Jones, who was a redshirt freshman, entered the game. Against one of the top defenses in college football, Jones managed to pass for 250 yards, 35 of them on a touchdown toss to Ryan Broyles that tied the game in the third quarter. But the Sooners couldn’t win the turnover battle, coughing up the ball three

times to Texas’ two as Jones was picked off twice. Oklahoma lost the game, 16-13, but showed glimpses of future success. Entering 2010 Jones was considered one of the better young quarterbacks in college football. The redshirt sophomore had finished 2009 with 3,198 yards and 26 touchdowns and was poised to lead the Sooners back into BCS contention. Jones led the No. 8 Sooners into Dallas looking for revenge for the year before. Jones passed for 236 yards and two touchdowns as Oklahoma handed Texas its second straight loss of the season, 28-20. By 2011 Longhorn fans were extremely familiar with Jones and his capabilities. In one of the most anticipated Red River Rivalry games in a decade, the No. 11 Longhorns did nothing but show up against the No. 3 Sooners. Jones gashed the Texas secondary for 367 yards and three touchdowns as Oklahoma ran the Longhorns

McCage grows up fast, lives up to expectations For the second year in a row, Texas head coach Jerritt Elliott has coached the Big 12 preseason Freshman of the Year. Last season it was sophomore middle blocker/outside hitter Khat Bell. This season freshman Molly McCage was given the title. “It is an honor,” McCage said. “I think that it is a bit of pressure, but I am not that nervous because we have very good freshmen here ... With the new freshmen and having the upperclassmen together, it will put us at ease and make us more comfortable.” Bell ended her freshman campaign early with a knee in-

TCU quarterback entering rehab
FORT WORTH — Suspended TCU quarterback Casey Pachall is leaving school for the rest of the semester and entering an inpatient rehabilitation facility. Coach Gary Patterson made the announcement Tuesday, five days after the junior starter was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in his second brush with the law in the past eight months. If Pachall completes the treatment, the door remains open for him to come back to school and the team. “Hopefully, what our plan is that he (Pachall) gets himself right and keeps the door open for us as far as an opportunity for him to be able to come back here and enroll in the spring,” Patterson said. “He would be able to graduate in two semesters, which is the ultimate goal for us. Also, we’d get a great kid and also a good quarterback back.” Pachall was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated after running a stop sign near the TCU campus last Thursday. That came eight months after Pachall admitted to police that he smoked marijuana and failed a team-administered drug test just two weeks before former linebacker Tanner Brock, his roommate and teammate then, was arrested in a drug sting with three other players and other TCU students.

Horns to play Alvin Community College after winning first two games of fall season By Garrett Callahan Two games into their fall season and the Longhorns are off to a strong start. After winning their first two fall games to Incarnate Word and St. Mary’s, the Texas team is looking forward to challenging Alvin Community College in a home showdown Wednesday evening. The Dolphins are coming in with an 11-day break after competing in the Sugarland College Classic while Texas is coming off of a 3-2 walk-off win last Friday night.
This game brings a little bit of excitement to Austin, as the Alvin head coach is former Texas player Loryn Johnson. She played 2007-2009 with many impressive stats. She was two-time Big 12 First Team and 2009 NFCA All-Central Region First Team. Johnson, who is a native of Alvin, leads Texas all-time in slugging percentage (.562) and second in career batting average (.349). The Longhorns only had practice on Monday and Tuesday this week. The past weekend was used to focus on recruitment. Coming off of a close win against St. Mary’s,
Texas is focusing on advancing the runners and not leaving any behind. Along with this, it wants to focus on playing the game to its fullest despite the score, whether up or down. After tonight’s game, the Longhorns have a two-week break before they take on St. Edward’s and then Texas State. This fall season is an opportunity for the team to work on its goals and improve on its weaknesses before the regular season starts in the spring. While working on its playing is important, this fall season is a good chance to bond as a team and become closer as players.
Andrew Torrey | Daily Texan Staff Catcher Mandy Ogle and the Longhorns are preparing for their season and are currently 2-0 in fall season. Ogle played in all 60 games last season and had a .994 fielding percentage.

on the court and has room to improve. “Individually, I could block better, I could contribute more,” McCage said. “I could take away more area for my defense in the back row and just keep up the energy.” Outside of high school, McCage has experience all around the world. In both 2010 and 2011, she served as a member of the U.S. Girls Youth National Team that competed in many tournaments including the NORCEA Girls’ Youth Continental Championship in 2010 and the World Championships in 2011. In 2010, McCage served as captain for the national team. “Internationally, the speed of the game is a lot quicker, it’s very offensive, there are girls that jump high, hit hard,” McCage said. “It wasn’t as hard or as fast as college, but I think it prepared me…. You have a lot of pressure on yourself because you’re from the United States, and at Texas it’s the same thing. You have to hold up that reputation.” So far this season, McCage
from there, but not Gray. The Texas backfield features a 6-foot-1-inch, 230-pound bowling ball in Joe Bergeron, who will “vulture” any goalline carries from the other Texas rushers. It’s a system that’s become a bit of a running joke between Gray and Bergeron. “Yeah, I’m okay with scoring now and then,” Gray chuckled. “[Bergeron] told me, ‘If you fall on the one, my package is coming in,’ and every time I hit that 1-yard line I’m like, ‘Ah, here we go, you get it.’” But other than his unfortunate lack of scores, Gray has been everything that he was billed as when he entered Texas as the consensus No. 1 running back in the nation. He’s been an explosive threat out of the backfield, made impressively quick cuts and has even pounded the ball through the middle with success. Those talents have quickly earned him playing time from the coaching staff. In each game of the season

has 39 kills through 14 matches with a .386 hitting percentage. Against Louisville this past Monday night, she posted a season-high eight kills across five sets. She has led the team in three matches with blocks, averaging 1.17 per set and has 43 blocks on the season, third highest on the team behind Bell and senior utility Sha’Dare McNeal. Her 1.17 blocks per set puts her third in the Texas record books.
his carry total has increased as had his yards gained. Gray has rushed for 244 yards on 47 carries through five contests. The majority of those carries have come out of the team’s specialty package, the Wild formation, in which Gray lines up the backfield and takes the direct snap. It’s a formation where his rare combination of speed and power make him deadly, and it’s a set he’s directed with the poise of an upperclassman. “He’s handling the Wild formation like a fifth-year senior,” head coach Mack Brown said. “He’s handling it like Fozzy [Whittaker] did. We didn’t know that in the preseason. We just weren’t sure who the guy was and what he was, but it’s definitely him.” Brown may not have known it, but when Gray strolled onto the 40 Acres a few short months ago, the Longhorns were not only the recipients of an unbelievable football talent but they had also gained a heady individ-
ual in an 18-year-old’s body. “Johnathan, he listens,” running back Jeremy Hills said. “He’s really mature for his age. He’s really good at taking what he learns in the film room out on the practice field and developing it. He’s not hard-headed like myself or other guys really early on, so he can go out there and play like an older guy.” His quick maturation is evident when Gray discusses pass blocking, a skill that is often difficult for young backs to master because they just don’t do much blocking in high school. It’s a part of the game that’s key to any running back’s development, because without it coaches can’t lean on them in thirddown situations. “It’s something I have to get better at,” Gray said. “I work on it day in and day out. I just have to progress and be able to be that thirddown back, too.” With Gray’s drive you can expect him to make the improvement quickly. But
for now Gray is sitting in a deep backfield that features the top fullback and halfback prospect in the class of 2010 — Bergeron and sophomore Malcolm Brown — and Hills, an experienced back who has excelled in his third-down role. There aren’t a ton of carries to go around with that stacked of a running back room, but Gray has impressed the coaching staff with his poise and patience. “He’s not one to sit back there and complain or pout,” co-offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin said. “He understands the situation that we’re in, and he also understands that the backfield is crowded. He doesn’t worry about the things he can’t control.” However, he does feel he can orchestrate a score sooner rather than later. But if his big friend Joe continues to steal his goal-line carries, he won’t be too mad. He’ll just have to work that much harder not to fall on the 1-yard line the next time.
JONES continues from page 7 out of the Cotton Bowl, 55-17. While Jones has found immense success as a Sooner, the quarterback lost his top target in Broyles last season to graduation. Broyles, the FBS all-time record holder in receptions (349), proved to be Jones’ favorite receiver, hauling in more than 4,000 yards. When Broyles went down with an injury last November, Jones was clearly rattled, and his numbers showed. Before Broyles was hurt, Jones had a 24-5 record, 7.72 YPA, 2.6 touchdown-interception ratio and a 143.9 quarterback rating. After the Broyles injury, from Nov. 5th, 2011 to now, Jones has a 5-3 record, 61.2 completion percentage, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions — less than stellar numbers. While Jones still has immense talent in his receiv-
ing corps, including Kenny Stills and Jaz Reynolds, it is hard to find a more electric quarterback-receiver duo in college football. No matter who the signal caller is for either team, the Red River Rivalry almost always comes down to the turnover battle. Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops reiterated that Monday in his press conference. “Always in this game, turnovers are always a big factor,” Stoops said. In fact, in the past 10 meetings between Texas and Oklahoma, the winner of the turnover battle has gone on to win the game. Saturday should prove to be another great matchup between two historic powerhouse football programs.

Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones has had many ups and downs throughout his career. But he has alwyas played well during the Red Riverr Rivalry.

DEFENSE continues from page 7 passer and things like that, was very exciting to see,” defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said. “As a coach, and again you want to talk about improving, we had to find a way to win the game, which was ultimately our failure, but there’s a lot of things to get you excited about coming to work the next day.” Smith, a dual-threat quarterback, is very different from Oklahoma’s Landry Jones. They’ll need to put the same kind of pressure on him in order to be successful at the Cotton Bowl Saturday. Jeffcoat said the defensive line’s performance against West Virginia was encouraging and they will look to continue that pressure against Oklahoma. Jones spends a lot of time in the pocket, but he struggles when he is
pressured out of it. Although he has been working on having quicker feet and a better presence in the pocket, this tough defensive line will look to take advantage of that. Okafor said it helps having a target like Jones in the backfield. Jones, who is a senior, will look to finish his career at Oklahoma with a 3-0 record as a starting quarterback against Texas. On the other hand, Okafor, who is also a senior, is going to do his best to finish his career at Texas with a Red River Rivalry win. “He’s just grasped the scheme so much better as he’s gotten older,” Okafor said about Jones. “The tempo is so much faster. He just makes his reads a lot quicker, and he gets the ball out of his hands a lot quicker. And that’s going to be
difficult for us, especially up front, that he’s so fine-tuned with the offense.” Oklahoma’s pass offense thrived during its rout of Texas Tech, and Jones threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns in the game that ended Oklahoma’s three-game losing streak in Lubbock. Although Jones has gone through his ups and downs, Texas’ defensive line will need to pressure him much more than last year. The Longhorns do not want to see a repeat of last year’s 55-17 loss. “They’ve done a good job of protecting him,” Jeffcoat said. “So it’s been hard to get back there. But like we said, our goal is to get pressure on the quarterback, and that’s what we’re going to work on and help out any way we can. We’re going to hustle, make sure we make plays.”

Especially because environmental awareness is at the heart of the festival’s intentions, lugging around a four-ton hunk of metal might be more of an inconvenience than it’s worth.

While a cheap pair of earplugs only protect against 30 decibels, it can knock the volume down to levels that don’t cause permanent ear damage and can clarify the music by filtering out the sound of the crowd.

MUSIC PROFILE
Singer embodies hallmarks of a soulful musician By Ricky Stein In the 57-plus-year history of the rock ‘n’ roll singer/ songwriter, a recognizable archetype has emerged: that of the brash blues-shouting rock band frontman who can also lay down the electric guitar and bear his or her soul with a set of sparse, introspective, acoustic-based songs. It is a trend that arguably began with Bob Dylan, was mastered by Neil Young and has continued through the years with albums by songwriters such as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Beck, Ryan Adams and Dylan’s son, Jakob Dylan. Patterson Hood is a proud inheritor of this tradition. As singer/songwriter and bandleader for the Drive-By Truckers, his primary job is to bash out straight-ahead dirty Southern rock in ballrooms and music halls across the country. However, over the last decade, and despite the Truckers’ relentless touring and recording schedule, Hood has also managed to release three intimate, strippeddown solo records, the last of which, Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance, came out in September. “The Truckers, we kind of thrive on a certain amount of anarchy,” Hood said via telephone, about 170 miles

outside of San Diego en route to Austin. “Like, I never tell anyone what to do more than maybe a suggestion at the most in that band. So with this I had this very specific ... I wanted it to be sparse, I didn’t really want any kind of lead guitartype playing or anything like that. I wanted to keep it personal and intimate.” This week Hood will bring his softer acoustic approach to two Austin stages: a two-night stand beginning Wednesday at UT’s Cactus Cafe, followed by a 6:30 p.m. Friday performance on the BMI stage as part of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. “I’m totally psyched about all of it,” Hood said. “Austin’s always been one of my favorite cities. In the last few years it’s kind of hit where we get to Austin and then have another show the next day somewhere else and we don’t get to hang out. So it’s going to be cool having, like, three days there. That’ll be a great experience.” Hood is accompanied on the road by his backing band, the Downtown Rumblers, as well as fellow Athens, Ga., residents Page and Claire Campbell of the alt-folk duo Hope For Agoldensummer. The group is in the final leg of a four-week tour that wraps up Thursday in Central Texas before Hood rejoins the Truckers.
Photo courtesy of Andy Tennille Patterson Hood, also a member of Drive-By Truckers, will be performing in Austin beginning Wednesday.
“It’s been great, one of my favorite tours ever,” Hood said. “When I put this tour together, we were very careful to kind of book it mainly in venues that were small and intimate and that tended to be seated shows, more like the Cactus. But we also had like three festival shows mixed in with it, and I was kind
of curious how this show would work on the big outdoor stage kind of thing. But it’s really kind of amazed me how well it’s worked. The show the other day in San Francisco was at Golden Gate Park, and, I mean, there were literally thousands of people there, and it went over really, really good. It worked in
of bread was unimpressive. Whole Foods Market Cheese monger Graham Carroll suggested using Tarentaise, a semihard cow’s milk cheese named after the French valley that inspired it, on rustic Italian bread with a side of roasted garlic and onion jelly from the New England Cranberry Company. This combination came clos-
back in 2006. “I think it’s going to be great,” Cactus Cafe manager Matt Muñoz said. “This album in particular is a little bit less Drive-By-Trucker-y, in-your-face kind of rock ‘n’ roll and a little bit more of an Americana thing. So I think it’s the right room.”

est to replicating the classic sandwich of childhood. The cheese was light on flavor but melted to the perfect texture, and the unusual roasted garlic and onion jelly added an unexpected but pleasant burst of flavor. The ultimate winner was Will Angst’s recipe from Henri’s, by a hair. This sandwich had the gooeyest tex-
ture and the most interesting flavor, which struck a chord somewhere between a classic burnt orange grilled cheese and the highfalutin taste of a gourmet sandwich. The Fricalin and caramelized onion sandwich from Bradley Anderson at Antonelli’s was a close second. But in the end, they’re all winners. Because, really, who doesn’t love a grilled cheese sandwich?

New slices of thought on grilled cheese
By Laura Wright
Grilled cheese, in its simplicity, can take very different form when using the right varieties of ingredients. The Daily Texan visited Antonelli’s, Henri’s and Whole Foods’ cheese shops to create gourmet grilled cheese recipes.
Crunchy, gooey, savory, sweet — everyone loves the multidimensional grilled cheese. In recent years this simple American sandwich has moved past the realm of sticky, pale-orange “cheddar” singles and into the world of gourmet cheese. Many local Austin restaurants, including 24 Diner and Blue Star Cafeteria, serve luxurious versions of the humble sandwich. But decadent, dairy-based sandwiches can easily be made in the comfort of one’s own home, impressing significant others, jealous roommates and the stomach. To aid in pursuing any grilled cheese adventures, the Daily Texan asked local cheese vendors for the best cheeses to use when making the classic dish and then road-tested their suggestions in the kitchen. All of the cheeses were purchased at the store listed, and all of the bread and produce was purchased at Central Market. These delicacies are easily replicated in any Greater Austin area apartment with a stove. All of the sandwiches were cooked over medium heat on a nonstick skillet slathered in butter until the bread browned on both sides and the cheese looked gooey and shimmery. Henri’s Will Angst,
owner
Fanny Trang Daily Texan Staff
Henri’s cheese, charcuterie and wine shop, suggested using a mix of Gouda, cheddar and Alpine-style cheeses on sourdough bread. “All three melt very well together, so you get a more complex flavor,” Angst said. His combination was a home run: the sandwich came out fat with flavor and grease. The earthy underof tones of the cloth-bound

cheddar he suggested mixed with the smooth, mild Parrano Gouda made the sandwich complex and interesting. But if you’re looking for a traditional grilled cheese, steer clear of Angst’s hipster incarnation, which only resembles the Kraft-made classic in its fat content. Angst suggested putting a lot of butter on the bread. He also said that Henri’s usually adds
seasonal roasted vegetables to the grilled cheese it serves in-house, but this sandwich satisfies even without the added greens. Antonelli’s Cheese Shop Bradley Anderson at Antonelli’s suggested Fricalin Hostettler, a cow’s milk cheese from Switzerland, on rye bread with caramelized onions and a side of mustard. Again, this
is not your mother’s grilled cheese. The Fricalin had a sharp, memorable flavor that can only be called strong — very, very strong. This is the kind of cheese that you recall eating a decade later when you walk past it in a grocery store and the smell raps on the back of your nostrils like a ghost of grilled cheese past. Luckily, the pungent cheese softened in the company of the sweet
onions. Avoid the suggested mustard. It threw too many strong elements into the mix. But sans the extra condiment, this stinky cheese and sweet onion combo made for a sticky, savory sandwich. Victoria Swaynos, also of Antonelli’s Cheese Shop, suggested using a grape leafwrapped bleu with pear slices

Playlist offers music to get down for ACL HUMP
DAY
By Milla Impola
“You know, music is sex. It’s a sensual driving mode that affects people if it’s played a certain way,” surf music guitarist Dick Dale said. From the first caveman gatherings and ancient Greek debates about music as a gateway to a person’s soul to today’s festivals, such as the Austin City Limits Music Festival, music has continually held an intoxicating power in society. As Victor Hugo said, “Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” Sex, just like music, has healing, educational and pleasure-inducing elements that can be enhanced by music’s erotic capabilities. In an article for Cosmos, biologist Rob Brooks said that music is largely a primeval tool to gain access to mates. He quotes Steven Pinker from “How the Mind Works,” saying music is not really an adaptation but instead like cheesecake. “Cheesecake packs a sensual wallop unlike anything in the natural world ... music is auditory cheesecake, an exquisite confection crafted to tickle the sensitive spots of ... our mental faculties,” Pinker said.
He goes on to discuss how musicians overcome two of the biggest evolutionary conflicts we all face when searching for potential mates: being noticed by potential mates and then succeeding to court or seduce them. This is perhaps why “I play the guitar” may be considered one of the sexiest phrases in the English language. Lyrics of songs can also be used as modern poetry to seduce a partner, whether you want to “do it like on the Discovery Channel” or “move from the bed down to the floor.” As a former Healthy Sexuality Peer Educator for UT-Austin and as a current, self-proclaimed recreational sex educator, I am always ecstatic to see lyrics used to spread safe sex messages. Lil Wayne rocked my sex education world when he rapped how “safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex, cuz you don’t want that late text ... that ‘I think I’m late’ text.” It is always fine, of course, to not like music during sex. In an interview for Yale Daily News, Ruth Westheimer, a sex therapist and TV personality, once said, “Music during sex? Absolutely no! People should use their brain to concentrate on being with a loved one, and they don’t need to be distracted

Music festival inspires fashions of its own By Kelly Eisenbarger What do you wear to a three-day outdoor festival where one minute you’ll be softly swaying to The Shins and the next you’re screaming “Community” quotes at Childish Gambino? Stacey Rodrigues of C3 Entertainment has an answer: “With the festival in midOctober, it’s smart to bring a lightweight layering piece for cool nights.” The Satellite Shop is ACL’s premiere souvenir store on 210 Guadalupe Street. The first ACL Festival Satellite Shop was created as a way to make it easier for fans to buy souvenirs, whether they have tickets to the festival or not. The store does more than just sell ACL souvenirs, though, since they also showcase local Second Street vendors, Rodrigues said. Mannequins have been styled with festival-ready fashions.
Satellite Shop manager Katie Woodruff has seen trends develop since its opening Oct. 6. “There are so many choices. It’s hard to say which one will end up being the crowd favorite. So far the commemorative T-shirt, a perennial favorite, has been the best-seller,” Woodruff said. “A close second is the Armadillo tee.” Although many will be wearing the festival T-shirt, fashion at ACL has evolved from schlepping through Texas summer heat in shorts and flip-flops to maybe needing a couple of light layers in the mid-October weather. “The ACL Festival crowd is diverse, and the fashions reflect that. You can see everything from vintage to trendy and everything in between. With the cooler weather, I’m sure we’ll see a lot more cool outerwear and boots,” Rodrigues said. Teresa Cantu, a sales specialist at Neiman Marcus and avid festival-goer, sees ACL as not only a music event but

a fashion event as well. “I do think that the festival has become more common grounds for innovative styles from all over,” Cantu said. “I have seen an influx of independent designers that vend at music festivals who provide festival gear made from recycled materials. I like to support local designers and have found my wardrobe changing from my frequent purchases.”
When going to the festival, there are some easy fashionrelated decisions to be made. Seven-inch Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots? Not unless you’re on the arm of Anthony Kiedis backstage. Sunglasses and a chic crossbody bag? Yes. Protect your eyes and stash your stuff so you can dance hands-free.
