Government shutdown to close LBJ

By Anthony Green @AnthonyGrreen

For the first time since 1995, the federal government is in shutdown as a result of budget disagreements between the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.

Though the post office, government-run schools and Medicare will continue to operate, all services deemed non-essential — including the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum — will temporarily shut their doors.

The disagreements, which fall mostly along partisan lines, are centered around the federal budget and specifically around funding and the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare. Though the House passed multiple budget bills, each bill came with stipulations including delaying the act’s enactment and limiting the scope of its contraceptive coverage. A majority of Senate

members refused to pass a budget with these conditions attached.

Though entitlement programs like Social Security will not be affected, government agencies reliant on yearly federal funding reached the end of their fiscal year Monday night. Affected agencies include the Pentagon, national parks and museums within the National Archives and Records Administration.

The University has been adding more projects to the program since it established its agreement with the

Men’s head athletic director DeLoss Dodds plans to announce his decision to step down next August on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.

Dodds, 76, took over as athletic director at the University in 1981. Earlier this month, he denied reports that he planned to step down before the end of the year.

According to the report by the Associated Press, Dodds plans to remain athletic director until Aug. 31, 2014, when he will move into a consultant’s role.

Dodds played an instrumental role in turning around the Longhorns’ football program by hiring Mack Brown as head coach in 1998. Under Brown, the Longhorns won a national championship in 2005 and made another trip to the BCS title game in 2009.

The success of the football team has slipped over the past four seasons, and the Longhorns possess just a 24-18 record since the start of 2010.

Dodds told The Dallas Morning News two weeks ago that he hoped to lead the football program back to prominence before retiring.

“My goal would be to leave things in good shape,” Dodds said. “We need to win some football games. I’m responsible for that.”

In addition to football, Dodds revitalized the Texas baseball program by hiring head coach Augie Garrido in 1997. Garrido has posted a 720-347-2 record with the Longhorns and led them to a pair of

Newly released maps chart student district

By Madlin Mekelburg @madlinbmek

Students could make up the majority of a city council district based on a preliminary map released by the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission.

The new district lines are being drawn as part of Austin’s new 10-1 plan, which will divide the city into 10 districts with one city council member from each. Currently, six city council members are voted on at-large and not drawn from specific geographic regions.

The preliminary map, released Saturday, outlines a district with a high student population, which some students say will allow for greater representation of students’

interests.

Catherine Benavidez, government senior and president of UT Votes, said the creation of a student district is an important step in getting students more involved with the community.

“I am 110 percent supportive of a student district,” Benavidez said. “It’s important to have a student district because students living in the area and going to [the] University know what issues impact us most and what ordinances would be best for our community. It would also make students interact more with the Austin community outside the University, instead of being so isolated.”

The Landmarks program, which arranges for various sculptures and artworks to be displayed across campus, is entering its fifth year of existence and will open its latest piece, James Turrell’s “The Color Inside,” this month.

The Landmarks program launched in 2008 to serve as the University’s public arts program and now contains 35 works, including Turrell’s “Skyspace” at the Student Activity Center.

Andree Bober, director for the program since its inception, said the goal of Landmarks is to complement the University’s open spaces and walkways with various and diverse works of art.

LEGACY

Former Longhorn QB James Street dies

By Chris Hummer

James Street, the wishbone wizard, left shakes hands with President Lyndon B. Johnson with Darrell K Royal looking on after the Longhorns’ Cotton Bowl victory on Jan. 1, 1970.

Former Longhorn quarterback James Street, who led Texas to an undefeated season in 1969, died Monday morning at the age of 65.

“When we got the call Monday morning, I just couldn’t believe it,” head coach Mack Brown said.

“We have to celebrate who he was. I want the players to understand he’ll have a legacy at this place.”

Street, a two-sport star at Texas, was also an allconference pitcher with a 29-8 overall for the baseball team. He arrived at Texas as a seventh-string quarterback but clawed his way to earn the starting spot.

The wishbone, which features two deep backs with the fullback setup be-

Benavidez said a student district could also help to increase student participation in voting, as long as students are aware of the existence and potential of the district.

“Typically, the reason why people in our age group don’t vote as much as older generations is because they have a large sense of apathy and feel that their vote won’t make a difference,” Benavidez said. “[A student district] would radically change that. However, it is important to note that awareness about the district needs to be increased because if no one knows that our own student district exists, no one will know how to

best utilize it.”

Ryan Rafols, a psychology sophomore and member of the commission, said he was elected to serve on the commission as a representative of students in Austin.

“Part of my goal in this whole process was to get a student district,” Rafols said.

“While I couldn’t work directly with the student district coalition, I was able to help rally them together, speak to them and give them the resources they needed to make a district.”

Rafols said now that the preliminary map has been released, he expects more neighborhoods to get involved at meetings, but he does not see any major changes taking place with the will remain out of work for the duration of the federal shutdown.

“I’ve worked for the library since August of 2012,” Stacy said. “Now, I won’t be able to step foot into my job until a budget is passed.”

Stacy said the team atmosphere her job provides will be greatly missed.

“I love working at the library,” Stacy said. “LBJ employs some of the best people I’ve ever come in contact with, who are all involved in really wonderful work and research.”

Stacy, who works as an aide in the library’s research room, said that beyond the library’s employees, the researchers who use the archives will also experience financial setbacks as a result of the shutdown.

“The shutdown is going to be a real problem for library researchers who often book travel and accommodations for research studies months in advance,” Stacy said.

While the library and museum, which is visited by more than 150,000 patrons every year, will not be able to open its doors without the records administration’s federal funding, campus officials said they remain positive the shutdown will not greatly affect University operations and logistics.

“The government shutdown will have

wanted the neighborhoods to have precedence over student populations. While [the district] does have a concentrated student population, it’s also a heavy district of neighborhoods, so it’s not like it was just a UT drawn district.”

Joshua Tang, history senior and administrative director for Student Government, said he attended two commission meetings in support of the student-centric district because he feels the district will allow for representation that more accurately reflects Austin’s population.

“Students should be more involved in local Austin politics, and students have a special set of needs when it comes to local politics — both of those concerns could

be addressed by creating a student district,” Tang said.

“We’re not looking for special treatment. The referendum that Austin has was done so all of Austin citizens could have representation on city council. That’s the only thing students are asking for: that we have the same amount of representation as the rest of Austin.”

Tounget said the commission hopes to have a finalized version of the map ready by the first week of December.

“There are going to be four more public hearings so people can tell us what they like and don’t like about [the map],” Tounget said. “Then the commission will make the adjustments they think are necessary.”

very minimal overall affect on the University,” UT spokesman Robert Meckel said.

Faculty research funding and student financial aid, which draw on federal funding, will not be affected.

“Financial aid has been secured for students through the 2013-2014 school year, with customer service offices and hotlines remaining open throughout the shutdown,” UT spokeswoman Tara Doolittle said. “Moreover, awards for research funding [are] usually given out a year in advance, so most applicants have since been compensated.”

A campus-based call center, as well as a research and customer-care call center, will be unavailable during the shutdown, but the on-campus Office of Student Financial Aid will remain open.

“We may lose some people to other districts,” Rafols said. “We’re within the margin of 5 percent [of the goal], but we’re a little bit over so we could possibly lose a few neighborhoods.”

Craig Tounget, the commission’s executive director, said while he has heard a significant amount of support for the student-centric district, he has also heard concerns that the planned district will minimize the voices of the surrounding community.

“There were people who lived in the communities adjoining the student area that didn’t want students to be considered a protected class,” Tounget said. “They

Obama administration affirms Fisher v. UT ruling

By Jacob Kerr @jacobrkerr

In response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin earlier this year, officials from the Obama administration affirmed the use of race as a factor in determining university admissions.

In a letter addressed to university presidents across the country, representatives of the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Justice said on Friday that their departments strongly support diversity in higher education.

“The Court preserved the well-established legal principle that colleges and universities have a compelling interest in achieving the educational benefits that flow from a racially and ethnically diverse student body and can lawfully pursue that interest in their admissions programs,” officials said in the letter.

With the Fisher decision, the officials from the education and justice departments said colleges and universities in the U.S. can continue to use race as factor in their admissions

policies if it is necessary for diversity on campus. Representatives also released a document detailing answers to prominent questions about the decision’s impact on admissions.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled the Fifth Circuit Court did not apply strict scrutiny to UT’s admission policy and sent the case back to the appeals court.

Law professor Lino Graglia said the Obama administration sent the letter because the Fisher decision has opened the door for college admissions policies to be further scrutinized. Graglia mentioned the 2003 Grutter v. Bollinger case, which allowed universities and colleges in the U.S. to use race as a factor, but required there be no other race-neutral means of achieving its diversity goals.

“The Grutter case said that diversity is a compelling interest,” Graglia said.

“What the Fisher case did is cast some skepticism on that. They haven’t disallowed racial preferences [in university admissions], but they certainly invited litigation.”

The Fifth Circuit Court is scheduled to hear the Fisher case again on Nov. 13.

DODDS continues from page 1 national championships.

In the 2011-12 fiscal year, the Longhorns athletic department earned $163.3 million in revenue under Dodds, most among all university athletic departments in the country.

The football team alone earned $103.8 million, marking the first time a

single sport in the NCAA generated over $100 million in a season.

Dodds remains under contract through 2015, and he earns $700,000 each year, according to the Associated Press.

LANDMARKS continues from page 1 museum. Each year, the program receives 1 to 2 percent of revenue from the UT System’s Capital Improvement Program, which funds construction and renovation projects at System institutions.

The program acquires art by either purchasing existing works or commissioning new works of art from an artist, Bober said.

Each art project must be approved during an extensive process that runs through several officials and committees at the University, from the Landmarks Advisory Committee to President William Powers Jr., Bober said. Occasionally, the UT System Board of Regents must have final approval. To

approve additions to the program, Bober said University officials must determine whether or not each project fits a set of criteria. For example, no project can make a political statement or be unsafe.

Robin Williams, the student representative on the advisory committee and an art history graduate student, said the Landmarks program strongly contributes to the appearance of the campus.

“We’re, in a sense, connecting our community to a significant cultural community outside of us,” Williams said.

To help conserve the artworks, the program uses a group of student interns called the Landmarks

Preservation Guild. The interns learn about art conservation while taking care of the different sculptures and works across campus.

Sarah Hunter, guild member and historic preservation graduate student, said each work of art must be taken care of differently because of its materials, structure and location on campus. Hunter said most of the work involves inspecting the art piece.

“A large portion of your time spent with the sculpture is not actually touching the sculpture or cleaning it,” Hunter said. “It’s really observing the changes and observing the piece on a very intimate level.”

Where the Wild Landmarks Are Eyes

The marble sculpture “Eyes,” located inside the Bass Concert Hall, was sculpted by Louise Bourgeois. The art piece was also part of the collection loaned to Landmarks by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Clock Knot

Standing at 41 feet tall, Mark di Suvero’s “Clock Knot” sits in the engineering complex on Dean Keaton Street. The sculpture was added to the Landmarks program in Sep. 2008.

The West

One of the works loaned to the University from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2008, Donald Lipski’s “The West” is located east of the Tower. Landmarks Director Andree Bober said the pennies on the sculpture frequently fall off and must be replaced by the Landmarks Preservation Guild.

Circle with Towers

Purchased by the University in 2011, Sol LeWitt’s “Circle with Towers” moved from New York City’s Madison Square Park to campus. The structure is now located in front of the Gates Dell Complex.

And That’s The Way It Is

The Color Inside

Landmarks’ newest piece, a skyspace project from James Turrell titled “The Color Inside,” will open on the rooftop of the Student Activity Center on Oct. 19. Turrell has installed similar pieces at Rice University, the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas and other locations worldwide.

Commissioned by the University to coincide with the dedication of the Walter Cronkite Plaza, Ben Rubin’s “And That’s the Way It Is” projects media text across the exterior of the Jones Communication Center. The text, presented in various patterns, is compiled from Cronkite transcripts and recent news.

Figure on a Trunk

Magdalena Abakanowicz’s “Figure on a Trunk,” made entirely of bronze, was lent to Landmarks by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2000. The piece can be found outside Bass Concert Hall.

New med school should promote social medicine

By John Hoberman Guest Columnist

The creation of the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin presents a rare opportunity to design a new medical school curriculum that will advance the professional skills of physicians who serve the ethnically diverse and often underserved patient populations of our state. The school can do this by focusing on the field of social medicine, which concentrates on building collaborative relationships between physicians and ethnic minority patients. Achieving this goal will require an interdisciplinary approach to patient care that calls on professional expertise from outside the medical community, an approach that members of the University community have already shown support for.

For example, UT’s College of Liberal Arts has forwarded to the medical administrators

I cannot recall a single instance [in my medical training] when an attending physician taught us to think about social context.

-Dr. Jerome Groopman, Harvard oncologist

in charge of planning the new medical school a detailed proposal describing the contributions the college’s faculty can make to both research and teaching when the first class of medical students arrives in the fall of 2016.

In addition, the College of Liberal Arts, in partnership with UT’s University Health Services and the Seton Healthcare Family, sponsored a conference on Sept. 23-24 titled “Addressing Racial/Ethnic Health Disparities: Best Practices for Clinical Care and Medical Education in the 21st Century.” Leading experts from around the country donated their services to this event and participated in meetings to assist in developing an optimal curriculum for a pioneering medical school that will offer state-of-the-art services for traditionally underserved and neglected patient populations.

These neglected patient populations consist primarily of African Americans and Latinos. Many vulnerable patients in these populations do not understand how to navigate the health care system and would be well served by the outreach programs an innovative medical school can provide.

Moreover, many African Americans remain estranged from the American medical establishment due to generations of medical racism that have been ignored in past and present medical curricula. Medical students need to know that racially motivated diagnoses and treatments of black patients have ranged across the entire spectrum of medical sub-disciplines, from cardiology to obstet-

COLUMN

rics to psychiatry and beyond. They need to know about the oral traditions that flourish in medical schools that can convey potentially dangerous medico-racial folklore that persists over generations of medical students and the physicians who teach them. Wellprepared medical educators can also address analogous medical beliefs about other minority groups, such as Latinos, and thereby earn the trust of these communities, the latter of which is an essential step in building a healthier Texas.

It is not surprising that American medical education has not embraced the analysis of racially motivated medical thinking. “The general awkwardness surrounding racial issues in our society bleeds into medicine,” the prominent African-American cardiologist Clyde Yancy observed in 2009. The racial attitudes of medical personnel thus resemble those of the general population. Years of research on “racial health disparities” have concentrated on sociological data rather than the crucial issue of how doctors think about human diversity.

No medical culture that is cut off from America’s social realities can understand what it must do about race relations in medicine.

For many years American medical schools have used “cultural competency” training to address race and ethnic issues in medicine.

The general consensus is that these programs have been ineffective, because they are superficial and often lack the support of medical

administrators.

However, the Dell Medical School has an opportunity to change this. The University’s outreach program to address the medical needs of these communities includes two important partners. UT’s Center for Mexican American Studies has been a special priority of President William Powers, Jr. and will contribute to developing medical training that will improve care for Latino patients.

The Center for the Elimination of Disproportionality and Disparities (CEDD) at the Texas Department of Health and Human Services Commission does important medical outreach work throughout the state.

The Dell Medical School can and should create a medical curriculum that sets a new standard for the training of doctors who are much better prepared than their predecessors to understand and effectively treat their minority patients. Dr. Jerome Groopman, the Harvard oncologist and best-selling author of “How Doctors Think,” wrote of his own medical training: “I cannot recall a single instance when an attending physician taught us to think about social context.”

The Dell Medical School will be in a position to revolutionize the social dimension of medical education if and when its leadership chooses to do so. University of Texas faculty stand ready to contribute to making this vision a reality.

Students must continue to fight for city council district

Andreina Velazquez / Daily Texan Staff A visitor to the Blanton Museum admires a painting.

Campus art benefits students

By Miriam Petsch Daily Texan Columnist @Miri212

In October 2012, a group of researchers at the University of Chicago began a conversation. The topic of debate? Campus art museums in the 21st century. In trickled a dozen directors, among them leaders from Harvard, Duke and Stanford, to analyze and critique the state of campus museums nationwide. Their findings amounted to this: “Campus museums have unique potential to emerge as leaders and change agents in the new era.”

The burning question, of course, is how?

Campus museums are described as being more experimental and innovative than other museums, factors that allow them to pursue more unconventional kinds of exhibitions. And in order to cater to a wide variety of academic fields, campus museums must translate their respective brands into a diverse array of frameworks.

For example, Kathleen Stimpert, the director of public relations and marketing at the Blanton Museum of Art here at The University of Texas, refers to artists as the “chroniclers of history.” Recognition of a previously discussed historical character in a painting allows students to see the tangible results of their learning. By reinforcing the character’s relevance, the painting rewards the mind and encourages further study.

Many Signature Courses provided by the School of Undergraduate Studies directly integrate the museum into their coursework.

Their professors encourage visits and are provided with advertisements for upcoming events. Antonella Olson, a distinguished senior lecturer in the French and Italian department, teaches such a course to freshmen.

She constantly reiterates the fact that her students’ understanding of a topic improves significantly after they have been exposed to tangible examples at the Blanton Museum.

“It shows in their writing,” Olson says, “since

their subjects are suddenly real to them.”

The Blanton Museum offers a hub of tangible resources to students, faculty and the local Austin community. Students have the opportunity to visit the museum and its exhibitions at any time, free of charge. The museum also offers a training program for enthusiastic student volunteers. Guided tours are easily arranged, and faculty and organization leaders may book them at their leisure. The opportunities are numerous and the academic gains tangible, yet, according to Stimpert, student visits still make up less than half of the total number of visitors.

When asked why this might be the case, Stimpert alludes to students’ busy schedules.

Across the board, students cite an overflowing list of obligations that keep them busy from sunup to sundown.

Economics junior Stephen Vincent points to the establishment of a routine that does not usually include a time slot for museum visits. “If it’s not in their particular field of interest, [students] just won’t make the time,” Vincent said.

“The key is to get them in for the initial visit — after that they will keep coming,” Stimpert said.

Perhaps the most important benefit of campus art museums is their contribution to the growth of art appreciation in their visitors through education. Students may not fully understand what their eyes are telling them, but they can respect the skill poured into the creation of the piece. If the time is then taken to explain the stylistic characteristics of the piece and its relevance, the student is more likely to see it in his or her own personal context. Computer science junior Alexander Ventura admits: “I would actually go a lot more if I could get a small one-on-one tour of a particular section.” It is the hesitant visitors of today that will provide the exhibitions of tomorrow — perhaps they may even be the ones signing their names at the bottom.

Petsch is a business honors, finance and history sophomore from Houston.

LEGALESE | Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the UT administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Media Board of Operating Trustees.

On Saturday, the citizen commission tasked with drawing the district lines for Austin’s new single-member City Council districts released a preliminary map. That map included the University-centric district called for by both this newspaper and Student Government in the past week.

It’s tempting to declare this development a victory for students, but the battle is yet to be won: There are six more meetings of the commission to gather public input before the maps are finalized in December, and students must continue to show support for a University-focused district if they want their voices to be heard. Perhaps more importantly, consistent advocacy for the student district now will help encourage the engagement necessary to make true use of the district should it become a reality.

As drawn, District 9 extends to include portions of West Campus, North Campus and West Riverside. Students from the ACC Rio Grande campus are also included. Physics graduate student Eric Anciaux, an advo-

cate for the student district, estimates that the district will be 40 percent students, according to a news article published by the Texan on Saturday. While not a majority, 40 percent is more than enough for students to make a difference in a City Council election. But that near-majority will feel considerably smaller if few of those students show up to vote, leading us back to the original concern that civic engagement on behalf of students must be consistent throughout the process, no matter where the district lines are drawn.

The maps revealed on Saturday are a positive step toward addressing these problems from a student perspective. But we must be vigilant in advocating for student involvement in city issues, both in meetings of the re-districting commission and on the UT campus. Students feel keenly some of the most pressing issues in Austin, from affordability to transportation. Student district or not, students can’t make a difference if they don’t consistently speak up.

HORNS UP: VOTING VICTORY FOR PRAIRIE VIEW After decades of fighting for a campus polling place, the students at Prairie View A&M University have finally won more convenient access to the ballot box. As The Texas Tribune reported Monday, Waller County commissioners last week approved moving Election Day voting to the student union. According to Student Body President Priscilla Barbour, the current polling place’s distance from the school has impeded civic participation by the historically black college’s strongly campus-oriented student body. We applaud the students for keeping up the fight and not backing down on their right to unfettered access to the polls.

HORNS DOWN: TOO MUCH DEBT, TOO LITTLE PAY According to a report released on Monday by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, the age at which workers reached financial self-sufficiency has increased from 26 to 30 since 1980. Additionally, the report found that one-tenth of 18- to 24-year-olds consider their current job a long-term career, and a quarter of 18- to 34-year-olds work unpaid jobs simply for experience. These figures would be worrying enough on their own, but over the same span, the cost of a college education has increased by more than 1,000 percent. It doesn’t take a degree in advanced mathematics to understand that this means an increasing number of students are entering a workforce with unprecedented levels of student debt, and not finding sufficient work to pay it off.

HORNS UP: TEXAS SCHOOLS CAN TAKE A BREATHER Texas schools have been given some breathing room thanks to a decision by the U.S. Department of Education to grant the state a waiver from the federal No Child Left Behind Act. Signed into law by former President George W. Bush in 2001, the legislation currently requires 90 percent of students to pass a state’s standardized tests in reading and math. Without the waiver, 85 percent of Texas schools would have been deemed failing and had to face federal sanctions.

The reprieve from Washington will come as a welcome relief to parents, teachers and students who have labored under the onerous and unfair restrictions of NCLB for the past 12 years.

Texas voters must provide photo ID

By Amanda Voeller @amandaevoeller

Fabian Fernandez / Daily Texan Staff

David Silverman, president of American Atheists, speaks about living with theists at a presentation hosted by the Texas Secular Humanists.

Atheist encourages tolerance on campus Religion can’t stand on it’s own. It’s going to fall. But it will fail later, and thrive [in the short term], if the government is pushing it.

By Leslie Zhang @ylesliezhang

American Atheists president David Silverman encouraged students to criticize religious beliefs, not those who hold them at a talk Monday.

Speaking in Hogg Memorial Auditorium, Silverman argued that non-theists should focus on being honest and forgo political correctness when discussing religious beliefs.

“It’s easier for an atheist to say, ‘Yes, I respect your beliefs,’” Silverman said. “It’s easier because there’s no conflict, there’s no hard feelings. The nice thing to do is the unselfish thing: to take the hit in order to make sure the believer knows there’s somebody out there who does not respect his beliefs.”

Despite his anti-religion stance, Silverman has been married to a theist for 23 years.

“She’s not stupid, she’s just injured,” Silverman said.

“We’ve been married for 23 years, which shows you that you can have this conversation and still have a very fulfilling love.”

Silverman said church and state are subtly intertwined.

“The pledge of allegiance

—David Silverman, American Atheists president

is a very good example of religion using the government to promote itself,” Silverman said. “Religion can’t stand on its own. It’s going to fail. But it will fail later, and thrive [in the short term], if the government is pushing it.”

Silverman said he predicts the growth of digital communication will coincide with the fall of religion and religion in government.

Aerospace engineering sophomore Blake Younger said he doubted his beliefs about two years ago and turned to the Internet for information, at which point he became an atheist. After hearing Silverman speak, Younger said he felt more optimistic about the future of atheism.

“It has encouraged me to be a little more active about [promoting my beliefs], though I wouldn’t call myself [a] firebrand, per se,” Younger said.

Austin has been an important part of the secular movement and was the home of the first

established headquarters of American Atheists, Silverman said.

The Texas Secular Humanists, which hosted the event, was established in 2011 as the first UT service organization for specifically non-religious students at the University.

“Our goal is to be living proof that people can be good without a god,” Daniel Munoz, philosophy senior and the organization’s president, said.

Primarily a service organization, Texas Secular Humanists arranges a variety of projects each year, including gift drives for Austin Children’s Shelter and a clean-up of 26th Street.

The service aspect intrigued studio art senior Tempeste Wallace, an active member of the organization.

“People would be good without the influence of a deity,” Wallace said. “There are institutions that could replace the functions of the church without the influence of a god.”

The Travis County clerk and tax assessor announced their plans Monday to educate the public about identification requirements imposed by the new voter identification law.

The law requires voters to present one of seven valid forms of government-issued identification, along with a voter registration card, at the polling location.

Beginning Thursday, city officials will travel to different locations around Austin to provide information about acceptable forms of government identification and issue alternate identification cards if necessary.

Election Identification Certificates, which provide valid photo identification to be used only for voting purposes, are an option for students who do not have a driver’s license or other form of valid voter identification, such as a passport.

Officials at the Department of Public Safety will issue the certificates during the week and on Saturdays until Nov. 2.

Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir said the certificates are not an acceptable substitute for expired licenses. The certificates can only be granted to citizens who have not recently had

any state-approved forms of identification.

“A driver’s license that’s still in [the state’s] database — just newly expired — would not qualify you to get an election identification card,” DeBeauvoir said.

“You have to be truly out of the picture.”

Members of Hook the Vote, a student organization that attempts to increase student participation in elections, also plan to partner with the Travis County Tax Assessor’s office to educate students about the law and issue Election Identification Certificates.

“Despite not being a major election year, we see [the education initiative as] a great test run for dealing with voting issues that students might have,” said Julius Fountain, the assistant director of Hook the Vote. “We are very excited to work over the next few weeks to test the waters and help students learn about the changes that are coming with this year’s election.”

DeBeauvoir said if a student has a voter registration card with an Austin address but a driver’s license with a different address, that person will still be able to vote.

“It’s good if [the addresses] match … but if they don’t match, then we’re still looking at the totality,

and we will go by the voter registration address,” DeBeauvoir said. “Their driver’s license is going to need to be a current driver’s license. The totality would be their photo, their date of birth and we would look to the voter registration card for the address.”

Tax assessor Bruce Elfant said the most important aspect of both voter registration cards and forms of identification is the person’s name.

“If the name is identical, you’re going to be good,” Elfant said. “If the name’s not identical and the address isn’t identical, then the election judge has to start making some decisions … My middle name’s not on one — it is on the other, and even so, I’ll have to check the box and sign an affidavit swearing that I’m the same person if I don’t update mine.”

Psychology freshman Laura Gomez said she feels students do not have the information they need to make sure they have the right voter identification.

“Texas is 51st [of the 50 states and the District of Columbia] in voting participation — it’s really bad,” Gomez said. “I think the state of Texas needs to work on their education in general but also in educating kids on [voting] policies.”

Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir speaks about the efforts to inform the public of the voter identification law.

Johnson returning to lineup

SIDELINE MLB RANGERS

By Peter Sblendorio @petersblendorio

After producing their most consistent performance since Week 1 in their last game, the Longhorns enter this week primed to be more agile.

Sophomore running back/ wide receiver Daje Johnson is expected to return to the lineup for Thursday night’s game at Iowa State. Johnson missed the last two contests after suffering a left ankle sprain on just the third play of the game against Brigham Young University on Sept. 7.

The sophomore opened the season with a memorable performance against New Mexico State in Texas’ first game, hauling in three receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 62 yards and a score. He remains behind junior wide receiver Jaxon Shipley on the Longhorns’ depth chart, but he hopes to make a significant impact on an offense with a number of key players battling injuries.

Junior quarterback David Ash (concussion), senior wide receiver Mike Davis (ankle) and junior tight end Greg Daniels (foot) each begin the week day-to-day. Head coach Mack Brown remains hopeful his starters will be able to play, but he said it is up to the training staff to clear them.

Shelby Tauber / Daily Texan file

Sophomore running back/wide receiever Daje Johnson is expected to return to the field this Thursday against Iowa State after missing the past two games with a left ankle injury.

“If they’re limited in practice, they tell us they’re limited,” Brown said. “We are really not at liberty to even encourage the guys to practice. What they will do with David, like with Mike Davis and Greg Daniels, is they’ll continue to monitor them until game time, or at least Wednesday night and they will tell us whether they will play or not.”

Ash returned last week

after suffering a concussion against Ole Miss in Week 3, but he left following the first half after showing concussion symptoms. If Ash remains unable to play Thursday, senior quarterback Case McCoy will start for the second time this season, with freshman quarterback Tyrone Swoopes serving as his backup.

Texas ruled out junior

right tackle Josh Cochran, who missed the Longhorns’ last game after aggravating a previous shoulder injury against Ole Miss. Sophomore offensive lineman Kennedy Estelle starts in his place after filling in admirably against Kansas State.

Senior left guard Trey Hopkins expects the Texas offensive line to perform well in Cochran’s absence once again, as he believes the teams’

depth and ability to put multiple players in each position allows it to avoid a drop off.

“When situations like that arise, it’s not a problem,” Hopkins said. “Just the way that we prepare in practice, moving guys around, we’re not letting anyone just settle into one position. Knowing you have to be able to play all of them really helps in game situations.”

Beating Cyclones a must

Andy Pettitte deserves a spot in Cooperstown

By David Leffler

Daily Texan Columnist @texansports

If Texas were ever in need of a winning streak, it’s now.

Fresh off their bye week after a 31-21 win over Kansas State, the Longhorns now head to Ames, Iowa to face Iowa State.

Although few people have called this game a must-win for head coach Mack Brown, it surely is.

On paper, this appears to be a favorable matchup for the Longhorns for several reasons. First, the tangibles: Texas has been awful against the run this year, evident to anyone who witnessed its debacle against BYU. Up to this point, the Longhorns have yielded 1,041 rushing yards in four games, an average of 260 per outing. But luckily for Texas, the Cyclones don’t feature a ground-and-pound, bruising running style. In fact, they have only run for 406 yards through their first three games, averaging just 3.6 yards-per-carry. Add

this to Texas’ most recent outing, an impressive defensive performance in which it held Kansas State to 115 rushing yards, and Longhorn fans can breathe easier.

Factoring in sophomore running back Johnathan Gray and the plethora of secondary runners the Longhorns have, it’s clear they hold the advantage when it comes to the run game. Gray has been nothing short of spectacular, averaging more than five yards-per-carry while topping 90 yards in each of the past three games, including last week’s 141-yard, twotouchdown performance. As a team, Texas has run for 842 yards, a 210 yard-per-game average, while the Cyclones have allowed nearly 180 per contest.

Things get murkier when analyzing both teams’ passing attacks, especially with junior quarterback David Ash out with a recurring head injury. If senior quarterback Case McCoy gets the nod, expect the Longhorns to keep it conservative. McCoy has been efficient but hardly explosive this year, sporting a 63 percent completion rate but averaging less than six yards per attempt. If he can generate any sort of downfield attack against the Cyclones,

who have given up six passing touchdowns through the air, the running lanes should open up for Gray and company.

On the other hand, Cyclones’ quarterback Sam Richardson is the key to his team’s success. In addition to throwing for more than 750 yards and seven touchdowns in three games this year, he has run for 111 yards. But he should face some tough sledding against a Texas secondary that boasts talented corners junior Quandre Diggs and senior Carrington Byndom. Although the Longhorns have only recorded two interceptions this season, they could add to that total against Richardson, who has thrown three.

And then there are the intangibles of this matchup. The Longhorns are 8-1 all time against the Cyclones under Brown, their sole loss coming in an embarrassing 28-21 defeat in 2010. Texas hasn’t just beaten the Cyclones, it has blown them away. Its average margin of victory has been more than three touchdowns, with the Longhorns scoring more than 37 points on six separate occasions.

This history, combined with Brown’s perfect record in Ames, has all signs pointing toward a Texas victory on Thursday night.

Sophomore running back Johnathan Gray racked up a career-high 141 yards in his last game.

By Peter Sblendorio @petersblendorio

Andy Pettitte never earned a Cy Young Award.

He never pitched a nohitter, nailed triple digits on a radar gun or secured a $100 million contract. But over the course of his stellar career, Pettitte did one thing better than just about anybody else — win, and he deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Pettitte was the ultimate competitor. A 22nd round pick in 1991, the 41-year-old lefty admits he gritted and grinded to make every pitch, retire every hitter and compete in every start. Nothing came easily for him, but now 18 seasons and 256 wins after his MLB debut, Pettitte retires as perhaps the greatest starting pitcher to ever don the Yankee pinstripes.

The lefty’s regular season accomplishments alone should be enough to garner a plaque in Cooperstown.

He finishes his career as just the 26th pitcher to post a career record at least 100 games above .500. Of the first 25 to do so, 18 already hold a spot in the Hall of Fame, and five others await enshrinement once they become eligible in the next few seasons.

Pettitte’s 256 wins place him 11th all-time among left-handers and are more than that of 32 current Hall of Fame pitchers. Additionally, Pettitte remains the only player in MLB history to pitch at least 15 seasons without a losing record.

His complete game gem in the final start of his career Saturday against Houston pushed his record total to 18 seasons.

His career 3.85 ERA is the biggest knock against Pettitte’s numbers, but it should not be ignored that he pitched through the heart of the steroid era, when batters and, non-

coincidentally, home run totals seemed to get bigger by the season. His 117 adjusted ERA, which considers home ballpark and time period, figures to be a fairer indication of his success, and it puts him in line with current Hall of Famers Burt Blyleven, Steve Carlton, Gaylord Perry and Ferguson Jenkins.

Simply put, all of this means that Pettitte fits in as one of the best pitchers of his generation, but it’s his postseason achievements that cement him in baseball lore.

Pettitte won five World Series and eight pennants with the Yankees and Astros. His 19 postseason wins are the most all-time and are more than that of eight MLB franchises.

Additionally, Pettitte tops the list for innings pitched in the postseason, where he posted a 3.81 ERA against baseball’s best teams each year. In 2009, he became the first pitcher to ever start and win the clinching game in each round of the playoffs en route to the Yankees’ 27th World Series title.

The case can be made that Pettitte’s postseason numbers benefit greatly from playing 15 seasons with Yankees teams that contended annually. The same case can be made that those Yankees teams suffer without Pettitte in the rotation, and they likely failed to capture five World Series titles between 1996 and 2009 without their postseason ace.

Pettitte’s link to HGH remains unshakable, but it’s worthwhile to clarify that his usage — under a trainer’s recommendation to recover from an elbow injury — came in 2002, three years before the substance became banned by baseball. While some voters still figure to hold this against him, a number of

Cotton Bowl — The Oklahoma-Texas football game has been scheduled for an 11 a.m. kickoff with the game to be broadcast on ABC. The Sooners and Longhorns will meet on Oct. 12 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

OU won last year’s game 63-21 and has won three straight against the Longhorns. Oklahoma is 9-5 against Texas since Bob Stoops became head coach at OU.

Brown disappointed after Campbell called for his job

AUSTIN, Texas— Texas coach Mack Brown says he’s disappointed former Longhorns running back and Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbell says Brown should be replaced.

Brown has faced intense scrutiny and public speculation about his job after a 2-2 start this season. Campbell told Houston television station KRIV on Sunday that Brown should be replaced and applauded Southern California for firing Lane Kiffin early in the season.

Campbell won the Heisman in 1977 and remains one of the most popular players in school history. The university placed a statue of Campbell at Royal-Memorial Stadium in 2006.

FOOTBALL

Horns boast stronger offense, feebler defense than Cyclones

By Scarlett Smith @ScarlettRSmith1

Texas will travel to Ames, Iowa this week to face a renewed Iowa State football team coming off its first win of the season, a 38-21 victory against Tulsa last Thursday. The Cyclones improved to 1-2 after losing two in-state battles to Northern Iowa and Iowa by a combined total of 14 points. Paul Rhoads’ team is set to open conference play with a home game against Texas on Thursday night — a rarity for the Longhorns apart from Thanksgiving Day. Since 2010, Rhoads and his team have lost two of three games against the Longhorns with their only win coming on the road in Austin. In the victory over Tulsa, Cyclone sophomore quarterback, Sam Richardson, completed 26 of 41 passes for 255 yards and two scores while Aaron Wimberly had a breakthrough performance with 137 yards rushing on 19 carries. With both teams’ quarterbacks recovering from recent injuries — Ash exacerbated an earlier concussion and Richardson is nursing a sprained right

Texas players will wear orange decals with the initials “JS” on the back of their helmets in the game against Iowa State to honor Street.

“I see James all the time, I talk to him all the time, he’s got high energy,” Brown said. “I was just shocked that life can end so quickly … Here’s a guy who’s been so instrumental in so many lives in this state and especially at this university.”

Even with his baseball success — he threw a perfect

His biggest moment came in 1969 when No. 1 Texas squared off against No. 2 Arkansas in what was dubbed the “Game of the Century.”

Street led the Longhorns to a pair of fourth quarter scores, which included a 42-yard touchdown, pulling Texas to 14-8 after a two-point conversion. Street added a passing touchdown late to give Texas a 15-14 win. Texas clinched its second national championship with a victory over Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl.

The Longhorns will play in memory of Street this week. Brown said Street and Royal — who died in November 2012 — changed the college football

Cyclone receivers.

Thursday’s game will set the tone for both teams moving forward in the Big 12 competition. Texas’ conference title aspirations could hinge on whether it

studies failed to find any ways that HGH could enhance the athletic prowess of an athlete. Some even believe HGH could be a lower risk alternative to surgery, and it’s not impossible that the hormone will be legalized by MLB by the time Pettitte is Hall of Fame eligible.

Pettitte never dominated a game or overmatched a hitter the way Sandy Koufax or Randy Johnson did, but his accomplishments are undeniable. His remarkable consistency and prowess for winning the big game helped lead the Yankees to five World Series championships, and he deserves a spot in Cooperstown.

BOOK REVIEW | ‘WE NEED NEW NAMES’

COMICS continues from page 10

Man Booker Prize nominee critiques the American dream

comic reader say ‘Hey, I saw “The Avengers” for the first time, can you point me to some titles? I just want to read more.’”

Marvel’s cinematic universe goes further than just attracting new readers to existing characters — it’s also reshaping the way longtime fans read comics.

“I’ve been a comic book reader since infancy,” Plan II junior Rosalind Faires said.

Faires said her dad first introduced her to superheroics, and — in accordance with his tastes — she exclusively read DC Comics for most of her life.

“The first real experience I had with Marvel was watching ‘Iron Man,’ and I loved it … it turned me on to this whole other universe I’d never even looked at before,” Faires said.

Faires said that above all, it was the touches of realism in Marvel’s movies and comics that converted

By Dylan Davidson @davidson_dylan

The worst part of the American dream is waking up.

Nominated to win this year’s Man Booker Prize, NoViolet Bulawayo’s debut novel “We Need New Names” explores the difficult, fragmented lives of the people from her home country, Zimbabwe. The novel tells the story of Darling, a Zimbabwean girl who is given the opportunity to leave Africa for a “better life” with her aunt in the United States.

But life in America is strange, and not without its own difficulties. Darling wonders why her aunt is always dieting when, back at home, one of the only ways to eat was often to steal. She listens with disdain to so-called humanitarians who lament the conditions of Africa “as if it is just one country.” She must work multiple jobs to make enough money to send some home to her struggling family, and the longer she spends in America, the farther she feels from where she belongs.

Americans often pride themselves on being in the land

of opportunity. The American dream, they say, is to come to this place and create a new life.

Bulawayo’s novel, with a voice at first naive and bitterly perceptive, tells a different story.

At the outset, she brags to all of her friends in Zimbabwe that she will soon be living a better life in “Destroyedmichygen” — better known as Detroit, Mich.

But as Darling becomes more accustomed to life in America, readers are given a picture more of confusion than satisfaction. Darling assures her friends before she leaves that in America she will have the most beautiful car they’ve ever heard of: a Lamborghini Reventon.

When her American friends tell her that she’ll never be able to have one, she is forced to ask herself, “If I can’t own it, does that mean I’m poor, and if so, what is America for, then?”

Bulawayo’s novel is one of six nominated on the Man Booker Prize shortlist for 2013.

The prize, which was first given in 1969, is meant to award the best work of fiction by an author that is a citizen of the Commonwealth, Zimbabwe or the Republic of Ireland. Past winners have included Yann

WE NEED NEW NAMES Author: NoViolet Bulawayo Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Cost: $16.99

Martel’s “Life of Pi” and Thomas Keneally’s “Schindler’s Ark.” In the novel’s first chapter, Darling’s friend Bastard tells her, “You have to be able to return from wherever you go.”

Bulawayo’s novel is a powerful reminder that we should never forget our roots, because they can never be completely severed, only painfully torn away.

It is for this message, and for her powerful voice that Bulawayo’s nomination for the Man Booker Prize is well-deserved.

The winner will be announced Oct. 15.

Zimbabwean author NoViolet Bulawayo’s novel “We Need New Names” tells an interesting story about the American dream.

her.

“I love the way ‘Iron Man’ and Marvel comics in general engage with the real world,” Faires said.

“Their stories take place in real cities — the movies have clips from real television personalities.

That was such a breath of fresh air.”

Thanks to the influence of movies such as “Iron Man” and “The Avengers,” comic book readership is transforming from a symbol of difference to one of coolness.

“The movies are the gateway drug,” Martin said. “They’re a way of bringing people in and showing them that comics are for everybody.”

But returning to the same franchise too many times can be met with diminishing returns.

“If it’s yet another Batman movie, that’s not going to sway a lot of people to comics,” Zuern said. “By the third or fourth X-Men

movie, they’ve already got all their new fans.”

Despite this, Austin’s comic stores are filled with a mix of new readers brought in by film or television adaptations, former fans looking to pick up titles again and unwavering enthusiasts who have been subscribing to titles since birth.

“We’ve got males, females, all races, creeds,” Zuern said. “I’ve got UT student customers. I’ve got UT professor customers. I did not know that comics were enjoyed by as wide a piece of humanity as it is until I moved to Austin.”

JT continues from page 10 B-sides and throwaway tracks from a far superior record. Rather than containing the futuristic rhythm and blues sounds that drew comparisons to artists such as D’Angelo and Frank Ocean, Timberlake fills 2 of 2 with cheesy, half-baked remakes of ‘70s disco songs.

From the uninteresting soul knockoff style and highly inappropriate name of the first single “Take Back the Night” to the overstuffed, strange ode to an HBO program in “True Blood,” the whole album is a disappointment.

Timberlake’s attempts to make himself sound dark and edgy on tracks like “Murder” fall completely flat, and even a solid verse from Drake can’t save him from singing embarrassing lyrics like “I got you saying Jesus like we’re laying in

the manger” on “Cabaret.”

The second single “TKO” features the kind of silky bouncing beats that would have fit in on part one, but much of the remainder of the album sounds like filler. When he does take risks, Timberlake does so by venturing into strange territory, like the awkward country-pop “Drink You Away,” in which he seems to try and pull off a Zac Brown Band effect, or the mostly acoustic and bland closer “Not A Bad Thing,” which sounds like a worse version of one of the slow ballads on an *NSYNC album.

Overall, 2 of 2 idly wanders all over the place lacking any real sense of cohesion. This is even more disappointing given that all three of Timberlake’s latest albums have

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE Album: The 20/20 Experience -- 2 of 2 Label: RCA Records

been wildly innovative and exciting. Coupled with the reports of part one being primarily recorded for contractual reasons, it feels like part two was rushed out merely to capitalize on the success of the last album and sell a million or so copies so Timberlake can finance his next five-year break from music. Hopefully, he will come back with some better ideas.

HAIM continues from page 10 electronic side in a fascinating way.

It makes for an electrifying moment that provides a much-needed diversion from the pattern that Days Are Gone falls into in the second half.

Smeeta Mahanti Daily Texan Staff

The greatest lesson that can be taken from HAIM’s debut is that the group is at its strongest when it indulges more toward its ’90s pop sensibilities.

Days Are Gone is a slightly formulaic and predictable

debut, but is also a highly enjoyable one that expertly captures the fun and carefree vibes of summer. Fans of carefree pop music will find much to enjoy with this charming, if slightly uneven, album.

CITY

Local comic book interest grows

By Lee Henry @leehenry220

The general impression of the comic book reader in American society has largely been a negative one: an overweight mouthbreather whose pride in memorized minutiae is only matched by his cruelty to the uninitiated. Even in a city like Austin, where a seemingly infinite number of alternative cultures thrive, comic books have occupied a niche market many assume is comprised entirely of people like “The Simpsons” Comic Book Guy. Until now, that is. In the wake of the massive success of superhero films, comic book readership has increased dramatically, crossing social barriers and improving sales.

Zach Martin is the creative director of Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy, one of the largest comics and games stores in the nation. Dragon’s Lair opened 27 years ago and has grown from operating out of a small house to its current facility on West Anderson Lane. Dragon’s Lair sees a mix of customers from all demographics, from families with kids on Saturday mornings to people who walk in while shopping nearby, Martin said. He also described the clientele of the new location as

surprisingly diverse.

“We don’t have a set demographic,” Martin said.

“For a while, it was easy to pinpoint people who found us because they were looking for a comics store. Now, people just wander in.”

And not only do they wander in, but they keep coming back. Martin contributes this surge in interest to the string of successful super hero movies released in the past five to 10 years.

Brandon Zuern is the manager of Austin Books & Comics on Lamar Boulevard, another Austin mainstay that has been around for 36 years. Zuern agreed that big budget comic book movies have played a large part in the increased interest in comic books. “‘Iron Man,’ that was a big deal,” Zuern said. “After that first movie came out, people loved it. We had a lot of people coming in

then. We had new people coming in. We had kids wanting ‘Iron Man’ figures and comics.”

This boom did more than just boost sales of “Iron Man” paraphernalia.

“I think there used to be that stigma, that stereotype of what the comic reader looked like or sounded like or acted like,” Martin said. “But now, people you wouldn’t necessarily pinpoint as a

ALBUM REVIEW | ‘THE 20/20 EXPERIENCE -- 2 OF 2’

Timberlake’s follow-up album is less than a 20/20 experience

Justin Timberlake performs during the Wireless Festival at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London in July. It was announced on Sept. 17 that Timberlake and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis lead the 2013 MTV EMA nominations with five nods each. The 2013 MTV EMAs will be held at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on Nov. 10.

It was a welcome surprise when Justin Timberlake returned to music after seven years of inactivity with the delightfully retro The 20/20 Experience. The former Disney child star’s album was all grown-up, featuring a classy collection of 10 love songs written about his new wife Jessica Biel and some insanely

smooth production from his longtime collaborator Timbaland. While it was later revealed by The Hollywood Reporter that the main factor behind Timberlake’s return to music was because Live Nation paid him $20 million to tour and was getting ready to ask for it back if he didn’t put out new music, at the time, the album seemed like a welcome return to the spotlight.

Now it’s six months later and Timberlake has followed up with 11 more songs, a mix of unused tracks from the last album and some new tunes. Initial reports claimed the two albums were always meant to be companion pieces, but after listening, it seems fairly obvious that The 20/20 Experience — 2 of 2 is nothing more than a hyped-up collection of

HAIM’s highly anticipated premiere album almost upholds expectations

By David Sackllah @dsackllah

If you don’t know much about the band HAIM (pronounced like “time” not “tame”), you are likely to hear a ton about them in the upcoming months.

Compared to Fleetwood Mac and Wilson Phillips, this Los Angeles-based band, made up of the three Haim sisters and drummer Dash Hutton, made waves earlier this year with infectiously catchy singles and buzz-filled performances at South By Southwest. From there, the band booked opening slots for Vampire Weekend and Phoenix, made a stop at nearly every major summer festival and is scheduled to play at this year’s Austin City Limits Music Festival. Now HAIM has released one of the most anticipated debut albums of the year.

HAIM smartly arranged all the powerhouse singles at the beginning of Days Are Gone, delivering a powerful trio in the groovy “Falling,” the sublimely smooth “Forever” and the energetic and downright amazing “The Wire.” The singles are mainly structured around the hooks delivered by singer Este Haim’s powerful voice, accompanied by the ’90s rhythm and blues sounds that at points echo Destiny’s Child and TLC. This pattern of ’90s R&B meets indie rock comes together perfectly on “The Wire,” which builds up to greater heights on each chorus.

Other highlights include the more restrained “If I Can Could Change Your Mind” and the blistering pop anthem “Don’t Save Me” later in the album. There are definitely moments of filler around the middle album, which

show that the band doesn’t quite have the knack for appropriating R&B, ’80s pop and indie rock the way that contemporaries, such as Chairlift, do. That’s not to say there isn’t promise or innovation here, as is most exemplified by the later album standout “My Song 5.” The track is defined by an aggressive bass line and off-kilter beat that shows the band’s more aggressive and
