Chemistry graduate student Daniel Dreyer twirled a nickel-sized device between his fin-gers Friday, explaining with a grin that it can store energy like a battery — but it can’t die.

Because batteries use chemical reactions to conduct energy, they degrade over time and eventually stop working, but not this gadget. An “ultracapacitor” can conduct energy over and over again without chem-ical reactions and without shortening its lifespan at all, Dreyer said.

The only problem is that it can’t store much energy, and that’s what Dreyer and a team of UT professors and graduate stu-

dents are trying to work out, all thanks to more than $200,000 in stimulus money from the federal economic stimulus package.

“That funding has enabled collaborators from different disciplines to come togeth-er,” said Christopher Bieladwski, a chemis-try professor who is leading part of the “ul-tracapacitor” research team.

As of Sept. 6, the federal government has awarded UT researchers about $60 million

in stimulus funds, which have supported more than 140 research projects. Faculty in the College of Natu-ral Sciences and the Cockrell School of En-gineering received the

More than 20 Latino student organiza-tions will celebrate their cultural and Long-horn identities in the coming days with the University’s first Latino Heritage Week.

The week falls during Hispanic Heritage Month, which lasts from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, and will include a rally, leadership panel, art showcase, and civil rights and identi-ty discussions. Leaders of the Latino Pan-Hellenic Council, in coalition with other Latino leadership groups on campus such as the League of United Latin American Citizens and immigration activist group University Leadership Initiative, decided it was necessary to bring UT’s many Latino voices together for a week of conversation and community action.

“The Latino Pan-Hellenic Council is meant to be a uniting force,” said Nathan Bunch, president of the council. “Our ex-ecutive board is made up of many differ-ent organizations and we wanted to use this as a vessel to unite the community. We realized there wasn’t a central celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and this is our

Artist in residence at UT’s Visual Arts Center, Los Ange-les-based Ry Rocklen, created his exhibition “ZZZ’s” with the help of students in the College of Fine Arts.

The center opened its doors last weekend to more than 1,000 guests with a dinner reception, an interactive painting exhibi-tion, tours and music perfor-mances. The center, which was revamped by San Antonio-based architecture firm Lake|Flato, in-cludes a new entrance and many more windows.

“Before, this building was just a gold block and students didn’t know what’s going on inside,”

said You You Xia, spokeswom-an for the center. “The windows can get people curious.”

She said some of the college’s permanent collections will be displayed in year-round exhibi-tions. Each gallery is curated by

different members of the com-munity, from faculty and pro-fessional artists such as Rock-land, to the student-run Center Space Project, Xia said.

Jade Walker, the center’s di-rector, said students from every

college have many ways to get involved with the center.

Federal stimulus funds ‘ultracapacitor’ research

By Dan HurwitzDaily Texan Columnist

Winning is one of the University of Tex-as’ greatest traditions. Whether it’s foot-ball or partying, Longhorns expect to be among the best.

So on Saturday evening, Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium was supposed to be nearly empty at the final whistle of the game against UCLA because the Longhorns

were supposed to be so far ahead that the fans could comfortably leave know-ing that a large margin of victory would be safe.

But instead, as UCLA contin-ued to run the clock down, a si-lenced group of thousands in burnt orange — some of whom had been booing their team earlier — slowly made the painful walk out of the sta-

dium like they were leaving a funeral.The funeral of the 2010 Longhorn football season.

“It was not fair to Texas fans. It was not fair to the players,” said head coach Mack Brown. “I’ve got to do a better job. You can’t have that many

mistakes when you’re doing my job.”Where one loss may not be so pain-

ful in any other sport, in college football,

where the a BCS formula that involves computers and human polls determines a championship rather than a playoff system, one loss significantly hurts a team’s chance of being crowned the champion.

In the wake of the one-sided loss to a nonranked team, the Longhorns, who start-ed the weekend ranked No. 7, fell to No. 21,

Admirers examine artist and UT alumna Rebecca Ward’s installation, “Newton Would Be Proud,” on Sunday at the UT Visual Arts Center.

majority of the stimulus fund-ing, and researchers said the money has enabled them to hire more graduate student research assistants, build better research centers and move forward with projects that would not be possi-ble otherwise.

Sriram Vishwanath, an asso-ciate engineering professor, said two of his labs would have been put on hold for several months, without the stimulus funds.

“Without the stimulus sup-port, much of the research I do would not be possible,” Vishwa-nath said.

But UT Provost Steven Leslie said the temporary status of cer-tain stimulus funds raises ques-tions about support for ongoing research projects.

“For the federal research fund-ing, we want more stable, long-term funding, and there are ques-tions about what will happen when these funds terminate,” Leslie said.

Stimulus funds from the Nation-

al Institutes of Health will expire after a two-year period, and many projects began in 2009. The shorter expiration date gives UT research-ers less time to perform necessary research, said Susan Sedwick, as-sociate vice president for research.

But other projects, such as those

funded through the Department of Energy and the National Sci-ence Foundation, could last lon-ger because those institutions did not put the same expiration dates on the stimulus funds they pro-vided, Sedwick said.

“We anticipate that next year we may not see a huge increase [in research funding], but I can tell you that right now, what we’re seeing coming in the door is pretty substantial,” she said.

Richard Klingner, a civil engi-

neering professor, said he isn’t con-cerned about money for research because the National Institute of Standards and Technology guar-anteed his funding and scheduled it to last for three years.

But some researchers say it will be a lot harder to know where fund-

ing will come from in the future.Elizabeth Pena, a communication

sciences professor whose research is funded by the stimulus, is studying what performance markers distin-guish between language-impaired and non-impaired students.

“There’s a lot more competition for fewer dollars,” Pena said. “We can’t assume that we’ll be able to write a continuation grant pro-posal and get it funded.”

For mechanical engineering professor Glenn Masada, the stim-

ulus funds have unearthed a top-ic that Texas has largely ignored — geothermal energy provided by ground-source heat pumps. Because of the stimulus funds, about 300 mechanical engineer-ing seniors have been exposed to the domestic energy source, and both graduate students and un-dergraduate students can get jobs as research assistants.

“Until the [American Recovery and Reinvestment Act] program, geothermal energy had been large-ly overlooked nationally — but certainly in Texas — as a renew-able energy source,” Masada said.

Because buildings in Texas need cooling and are placed in relatively dry geological conditions, Masada said he is investigating methods to prevent the water under the earth’s surface in Central and West Texas from heating the local ground.

Vishwanath, who was award-ed more than $380,000 in stimu-lus funds, said he has been work-ing overtime to find the mon-ey necessary to continue his re-search after the funds expire, but it’s not a big deal.

“Good research speaks for it-self, and so funding will come by in the future, I am sure,” he said.

professional artists in a profes-sional setting,” Walker said. “It’s also for students interested in art and want to have a taste, see how art evolves.”

Covering 25,000 square feet, Walker said the center has five free galleries, which are open to the public. The center meets the college’s long-pursued goal of collaboration with stu-dents, faculty and the commu-nity, she said.

“Our goal of being a hive of energy and synergy [has been realized],” Walker said. “It gives us more of a presence. So many people can see through our windows, it allows for a back and forth conversation.”

Jack White, a New York art-ist who moved to Austin three years ago, said he liked the fact that wherever he stands in the center’s new galleries, he is able to see outside.

“I remember coming in once and I wondered, if there’s a gal-lery here, where is it?” White said. “Now, it’s totally different. The openness of it is beyond imagination. The building itself is a work of art. The openness of the space really grabs you — from almost any spot you can see outside.”

Preacher says he will fight child abuse allegations

Troops prepare for Iraq missionTamir Kalifa | Daily Texan Staff

Soldiers of the 36th Infantry Division of the Texas Army National Guard participate in a ceremony Sunday on the floor of the Frank Erwin Center hon-oring their service. Their upcoming mission is to train Iraqi security forces and to assist in the American troop withdrawal from Iraq.

LITHONIA, Ga. — Casting himself as the Bible’s ultimate un-derdog, Bishop Eddie Long went before thousands of faithful sup-porters at his megachurch Sunday and promised to fight accusations that he lured four young men into sexual relationships.

“I feel like David against Goliath. But I got five rocks, and I haven’t thrown one yet,” Long said in his first public remarks since his accus-ers filed lawsuits last week claiming he abused his “spiritual authority.” He stopped short of denying the alle-gations but implied he was wronged by them.

“I have never in my life por-trayed myself as a perfect man. But I am not the man that’s being portrayed on the television. That’s not me. That is not me,” he said.

Long’s brief addresses to the congregation at New Birth Mis-sionary Baptist Church were met with thunderous applause and an outpouring of support during ser-vices that were equal parts part rock concert and pep rally. The sanctuary was nearly filled to its 10,000-seat capacity for both the 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. services. Many lined up two hours before the doors of the church opened.

Over the past 20 years, Long became one of the country’s most powerful independent church leaders, turning a subur-ban Atlanta congregation of 150 to a 25,000-member powerhouse with a $50 million cathedral and a roster of parishioners that in-cludes athletes, entertainers and politicians. There was almost no sign his flock wanted to turn him away, Sunday.

Followers prayed, sang and em-braced one another as they rallied around their senior pastor.

During the second service, however, one young man in a blue shirt stood up and shout-ed: “We want to know the truth, man!” He was escorted out and did not return.

Wisconsin levee failure causes additional flooding

PORTAGE, Wis. — A le-vee along the Wisconsin River failed on Sunday, flooding the access road leading to a park area and cutting off any resi-dents who did not heed day-long warnings to evacuate.

It wasn’t immediately clear how many of the roughly 300 residents remained in Black-hawk Park around 4 p.m. Sun-day when the road was closed following the failure of the Caledonia Levee.

The Columbia County Emer-gency Management Office was letting nobody in or out of the park until further notice and warned all morning that emer-gency vehicles would not be able to reach any residents who stayed behind.

Settlement slowdown ends imperiling peace talks

REVAVA, West Bank — Jew-ish settlers released balloons and broke ground on a kinder-garten in celebration Sunday, as a 10-month construction slow-down expired.

Meanwhile U.S. and Israeli leaders tried to figure out how to keep Palestinians from walk-ing out of peace talks over the end of the restrictions.

After the slowdown ran out at midnight, there was no Pal-estinian statement about the fu-ture of the talks. The Palestin-ians asked for an Oct. 4 meet-ing of an Arab League body to discuss the situation.

Minutes after the expiration, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the Pales-tinians not to walk away, but in-stead to maintain constant con-tact “to achieve a historic frame-work accord within a year.”

Palestinians have questioned whether they can make peace with Netanyahu, known as a hard-liner.

Private first class Gerlencia Rob-inson smiled with quiet pride as an army band blew their last ceremo-nial note and her young daughter clung to her fatigues.

Robinson’s mother, stepfather and stepbrother — as well as 800 other soldiers — are all deploy-ing to Iraq on a peacekeeping mis-sion as part of the 36th Infantry Di-vision, based out of Camp Mabry. But someone has to stay, and that’s her, Robinson said at a deployment ceremony at the Frank Erwin Cen-ter Sunday morning.

Robinson said the mission — helping U.S. forces withdraw from Iraq and train Iraqi security forces — should be one of the best the di-vision has ever undertaken.

“On this mission, we’re looking to bring all the troops over there home,” she said. “For our troops in Iraq, it’s pretty much a wel-

come home. I think all the families should be OK.”

The soldiers form the Texas Army National Guard’s 36th In-fantry Division, which normally re-sponds to ecological disasters such as Hurricane Ike. The division was reinstated in 2003 — the last time it was deployed into combat was during World War II.

During the deployment ceremo-ny at the Frank Erwin Center on Sunday morning, families watched as the civilian reserve troops — their sons, daughters, spouses and parents — lined up in rows, hands behind their backs, itching to rush back to their children, family and friends for the afternoon.

Robinson’s mother, Sergeant Roselyn Wilkins, said she’s ex-cited about the mission — her third deployment overseas.

“I’ve been on all the peace-keeping missions so far and I’m really excited,” Wilkins said. “It’s

hard [being away from each other], but we’re a military family and I guess we’ve gotten used to it.”

Staff Sergeant Eldridge Wilkins, Robinson’s stepfather, said he’s been deployed to Kosovo and has been stationed in Egypt, so the experience with the heat is one thing that won’t be alien about the deployment.

“It’s going to be interesting,” El-dridge said. “I know about the heat. Just got to get back into it.”

The soldiers wore T-patches shaped like arrowheads on their sleeves, showing the Texas Army National Guard 36th Infantry Division.

The soldiers will train in Wash-ington, D.C. and arrive in Iraq in December.

During his keynote speech, Gov. Rick Perry said the Texas National Guard remains an es-sential part of the U.S. combat forces. Perry said the Texas Army National Guard division is only the third to obtain command and control over the withdrawal of U.S. brigades in Iraq.

“I’ll tell you this: Folks who know anything about military history will find it very reassuring to hear a Tex-as accent over the radio,” Perry said. “Since the 36th Infantry Divi-sion was reinstated in 2003, you’ve served Texas by stepping up to face monstrous hurricanes, massive wildfires and other challenges — you are consistently there.”

THE FIRING LINE

The next step

The politics of sugarBy Kate Clabby

Daily Texan Columnist

Please recycle this copy of The Daily Texan. Place the paper in one of the recycling bins on campus or back in the burnt-orange news stand where you found it.

RECYCLELEGALESE

Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Edi-torial 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.

The Red River Rivalry game and Yom Kippur fall on the same day in 2011. Yom Kippur is one of the most sa-cred and solemn days of the Hebrew year, and many Jew-ish and non-Jewish Longhorns are outraged by the con-flict.

In protest, students launched a campaign including a Facebook group that already has several hundred mem-bers, an online petition and campus rallies all in an effort to change the date of the game, but Big 12 and UT officials indicated that a change was unlikely.

The Red River Rivalry should not be on Yom Kippur; hopefully everybody can agree a major campus festivi-ty should not fall on one of the most revered days in the Jewish faith.

The dates should not conflict, but they do, and we would completely support a change — once somebody offers a solution to bring one.

To this end, while advocates have vehemently demand-ed a change, no one has put forth a way to enact one.

The discussion should not be whether the game should be on Yom Kippur but how to change it at minimal cost and with the least inconvenience possible.

The dates conflict largely because they are designated by two different calendars. The Red River Rivalry game annually occurs the second weekend of the State Fair of Texas, which begins the last Friday of September and con-tinues for 24 days.

Advancing the game one week would be difficult be-cause the State Fair Classic between Grambling State Uni-versity and Prairie View A&M is the first weekend of the State Fair. Pushing the game back a week would require Texas and Oklahoma to reschedule their games for that week, forcing their opponents to reschedule theirs, setting off a chain reaction that could potentially impact sever-al teams.

Any scheduling changes could cost the University sig-nificant amounts of money, not to mention the impact it would have on businesses that operate and plan around a game being played on the second weekend of the fair.

This is not to say the date shouldn’t change; just that so far, we just haven’t heard any plausible suggestions for how to accommodate such a change.

While extremely organized and savvy, the campaign to move the game has been more of an outlet for frustration than a forum for solutions. The Facebook group “Texas OU Game 2011 on Yom Kippur...LET’S CHANGE IT,” the centerpiece of the effort, claims its purpose is to “work together ... to come up with suggestions on how we can spread the word and make this happen.” However, the group’s discussion section is empty, and its wall isn’t a platform for solutions as much as a forum for boasting about its media attention and ostracizing those who dis-agree with its movement.

To be sure, some critiques of the efforts are fallacious and mean-spirited. Some claim moving the game would be some overreaction by the “P.C. Police,” and that the conflict is acceptable because UT has held games on Christian and secular holidays, such as the A&M game on Thanksgiving and last Easter’s spring game.

Comparisons between an Easter spring game and Yom Kippur OU game are ignorant at best and offensive at worst. Easter and Christmas are of a joyous nature, and a vibrant football game would not conflict with the festive nature of the holiday. Yom Kippur, on the other hand, is a reflective and solemn high holy day where Jews focus on sacrifice and subservience to God through strictly pre-scribed and centuries-old practices.

Opposing a change because of the logistical and finan-cial implications involved is perfectly reasonable, but de-nying the validity of the campaign’s grievances is disre-spectful.

The campaign has done an impressive job of bring-ing attention to the issue, but so far that is all it has ac-complished. If its members really want to work with the University to move the game and convince the Longhorn population it is worth the cost and effort, then they must acknowledge the complexities involved and start present-ing alternatives.

Not America’s problemOn Wednesday, Sept. 22, The Daily Texan

published an opinion column, “Take respon-sibility for Mexico’s tragedy,” concerning the drug cartel war, and in particular, the resigna-tion of El Diario de Juárez from the coverage of that war. This resignation was communicat-ed through a letter. The letter spoke of the in-effective actions of the government and the ef-fective actions of the drug cartels, and finally pleaded the cartel leaders to tell the newspaper what to publish so there would be no repercus-sions. It was poignant and sad. Even worse, as I was reading it, I knew I could only stand and observe in silence.

So when I read an opinion article that attempts to illustrate that the United States of America is at the root of this drug war, I get angry only because there isn’t anything that I know of to help the situation. When I change my vacation spot from Mexico to Costa Rica, it’s because I don’t want to die, not because I do not care.

In all of the world’s history, when has the United States of America forced the United Mexican States to be its crack transport? I know we have subdued much, if not all, of Latin America at some point in the 20th century and then strutted back across the Rio Grande; the United States should take responsibility for that. But we do not have to take responsibility for the drug wars. This is not a problem caused by America. It’s just a problem that needs to be solved.

The food processing industry doesn’t want you to be confused. That is why rep-resentatives of the Corn Refiners Associa-tion say they recently applied to the FDA to rename their most vilified product, high- fructose corn syrup (HFCS), the more in-nocuous-sounding “corn sugar.” With-in the past few months, consumer concern that HFCS is more harmful than sugar has led companies to remove the HFCS from products such as Hunt’s Ketchup, Wheat Thins and Sara Lee bread, and USDA sta-tistics show that HFCS consumption is at a 20-year low.

Although it could take up to two years for the FDA to allow the name “corn sugar” onto ingredient labels, the Corn Refiners Association is already using it in a TV ad and on its new website, cornsugar.com. The TV ad claims, “Whether it’s corn sugar or cane sugar, your body can’t tell the differ-ence. Sugar is sugar!” I like seeing the mak-ers of Coca-Cola and Hostess Cupcakes on the defensive, but the media storm sur-rounding this name change might distract consumers from both the real science and the real politics behind the sweetener.

The website quotes doctors who claim that cane sugar contains the same simple sugars, fructose and glucose in roughly the same proportions as HFCS. Most HFCS contains 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose. Cane sugar is actually sucrose, which is one molecule of fructose bonded

to one molecule of glucose. So while it does contain 50 percent glucose and 50 percent fructose, your body uses enzymes to break apart the molecules in order to digest it. The sugars do act the same by the time they get to your bloodstream, but it’s feasible that the difference in the digestive process could change your body’s reaction. Some studies have shown that HFCS causes more weight gain in lab animals than cane sugar, but the data is not conclusive.

The real reason behind HFCS’s wide-spread use is that it’s cheap. In 1973, The USDA started subsidizing corn by paying farmers to grow as much as possible and sell it below the cost of production. Corn production skyrocketed, and its price con-tinued to fall. So the food processing indus-try looked for new ways to use this cheap commodity and invented HFCS. It was a few cents cheaper than sugar, so companies started to add it to food in the late 1970s. Simultaneously, American obesity rates ex-ploded.

We can, in part, blame the sweetener for the obesity crisis, but any qualitative differ-ence between HFCS and sugar is dwarfed by the quantitative difference. Food compa-nies didn’t just swap out the old sugar for the new HFCS — because it was cheaper, they induced consumers to eat (and drink) more of it. Soft drink makers “supersized” their portions, offering larger bottles for only a few cents more, and HFCS started to show up in foods we don’t even think of as sweetened, such as bread, lunch meat and hot dogs. Almost anything tastes better

with a little bit more sugar, so adding HFCS is a cheap way for food processors to “add value” to a product and entice customers to keep buying it.

All of this extra HFCS has meant that, ac-cording to Michael Pollan, America’s per-capita consumption of all sugars has in-creased from 128 pounds per year in 1985 to 158 in 2006. Chemical nuances aside, sugar is sugar, and 158 pounds a year is far too much. Pressuring companies to switch from HFCS to cane sugar won’t solve our obesity problem, and cane sugar is often grown by exploited, impoverished farmers in developing countries, so the politics are just as bad.

The Corn Refiners Association claims that HFCS is “fine in moderation.” But what is moderation? The World Health Organiza-tion recommends that no more than 10 per-cent of your daily calories come from add-ed sugar. For someone who eats 2,000 cal-ories a day, that’s only 200 calories — and 200 calories of sugar a day adds up to less than 40 pounds a year. If we all started con-suming HFCS in true moderation, the in-dustry would never survive.

It absolutely makes sense to avoid HFCS — it is a sign of a processed, nutritionally deficient food that probably contains far too much sugar as well as other less-than-healthy additives. But if cane sugar starts to replace it in more of these products, don’t let the food industry off so easily. Junk will still be junk.

SBOE: History textbooks contain ‘Pro-Islamic’ bias

By Nick MehendaleDaily Texan Staff

The State Board of Educa-tion has taken on alleged bias in social studies textbooks, evo-lutionary theory in its biolo-gy standards, and now, Islamic bias in textbooks.

The Texas State Board of Ed-ucation passed a controversial resolution by a 7-6 vote Fri-day that warns textbook pub-lishers against “pro-Islamic/anti-Christian” views in world history textbooks. Rene Nuñez and Mary Helen Berlanga, two Democratic members of the board, were absent when the fi-nal vote was taken.

The resolution cites sup-posed instances of emphasis on unfavorable aspects of Chris-tian history in textbooks that also attempt to overlook simi-lar events in Islamic history.

“I think there is a bias,” said board member Don McLeroy, R-College Station. “How can we go forward as a great soci-ety unless the children know what the truth is?”

The resolution is nonbinding, with no legal weight, and mere-ly a suggestion to publishers, said SBOE chairwoman Gail

Lowe, R-Lampasas.Still, the resolution has major

implications not just in the state but also on a national level.

Texas is the second-larg-est textbook market in the na-tion, with approximately 4.8 million students, so the state’s standards could impact what makes it into textbooks out-side Texas.

Kathy Miller, president of the Texas Freedom Network, said the debate over the reso-lution was a waste of time be-cause it concerned textbooks that are not even used in Texas schools. She also said the lan-guage of the resolution, which uses words like “tainted” and “whitewashed” to describe treatments of Islamic history, was inflammatory.

But Lowe said board rules do not allow discussion of current books more than 90 days after they are adopted, and other Re-publicans said the bias already existed in current textbooks.

“I believe that it’s happen-ing in the current [world histo-ry textbooks] even though we can’t cover that in the resolu-tion,” said board member Terri Leo, R-Spring.

Supporters of the resolution pressed the need for a “fair and balanced” representation of faiths in textbooks.

“It is critical that this board send this message . . . that you’ll reject inaccuracies and distortions in the submissions to this board of textbooks,” said Dave Welch, executive director of the Houston Area Pastor Council and a frequent outspoken crit ic of Islam-ic “indoctrination” of public school children.

SBOE member Rick Agosto, D-San Antonio, said the reso-lution tarnished the image of the board.

“It makes us look cuck-oo,” he said. “We are allow-ing ourselves to be distracted by this narrow-minded resolu-tion, which is itself biased. We should have taken the higher ground on this.”

The resolution comes on the heels of the board’s controver-sial decision in May to revamp the social studies curriculum by removing Thomas Jeffer-son from a list of “revolution-ary thinkers” and toning down criticisms of McCarthyism and the Red Scare.

Band students hold pep rally prior to UCLA football game

A group of about 200 volunteer band students marched around campus Friday night, playing school fight songs and pump-ing up the student body for the UCLA game.

The march was reminiscent of a 1950s and ’60s tradition, when the Longhorn band would lead a pep rally before home games on Friday nights.

Band leaders, who were led by Longhorn Band Student Association president Sam Clark, organized Fri-day’s march to try and bring back the tradition.

“This was sort of a trial run,” Clark said. “One thing that we thought about is if this became a big thing in the future, we could make this a Texas Tech tradition before the game. That’s become a pretty big ri-valry these days and we don’t have a parade or any sort of pep rally be-fore that so we think this could fill that void.”

Clark said he is hoping he can keep the event going in the fu-ture and get more people to know about it.

“If we do it in future weeks, then we can get a big turn out and a big audience,” Clark said. “I think that can generate a lot of excitement.”

The march included cheerlead-ers and Texas Cowboys. Computer sciences freshman William Vickery said more people showed up to the event than expected, which made the music sound even better.

Professor says students fall behind while not in schoolBy Lauren Giudice

Daily Texan StaffStudents who attend low-in-

come schools are more likely to fall behind during vacations than they are while in school, assistant pub-lic affairs professor Paul Von Hip-pel said during a lecture Friday.

Von Hippel said the majority of schools are much fairer than most people would assume. Low- and high-income schools in the United States provide nearly equal educations to stu-dents, but a child’s experience at home is one component that

may widen the education gap, he said.

“Schools do not contribute to inequality; they decrease it,” he said. “There’s a widespread be-lief that the achievement gaps be-tween children of different back-grounds exist because of some-thing that happens in school.”

Von Hippel said the home lives of students broaden the achieve-ment gap more than the type of school they attend. To minimize the disparity between low- and high-income students, he said he supports keeping all students, re-

gardless of class, in school for as long as possible while reducing the length of summer vacation.

“One of the most startling findings in education research is that achievement gaps grow much faster when children are

out of school, during summer vacation, than when they are in,” he said. “So perhaps the sim-

plest thing we can do for poor children is to offer them more time in school, for example, by extending the school year a few

weeks into summer vacation.”Von Hippel said people tend

to believe that the only variable in education is the quality of schools, but the public needs to start treating schools as partners rather than adversaries in the fight against inequality.

Charter schools such as the Harlem Children’s Zone Promise Academy and the Knowledge Is Power Program already keep stu-dents in school longer. Von Hippel said they are seeing some of the best results, and he hopes the prac-tice can extend to other schools.

Von Hippel’s research is valu-able because it provides a non-biased method for solving so-cial problems, said Robin Pear-son, senior program coordina-tor for the Center for Health and Social Policy.

“I appreciated the fact that he separated the difference be-tween influences of inequali-ty between home and school,” said Katie Schermerhorn, a pub-lic affairs graduate student. “It’s a strong argument for increased social services that positively af-fect the family.”

‘‘Schools do not contribute to inequality; they decrease it.”

SPORTS 7 Monday, September 27, 2010

By Laken LitmanDaily Texan Staff

A deathly silence washed over the Texas locker room af-ter the stunning 34-12 loss to UCLA on Saturday, the Long-horns’ first defeat at home since 2007.

“That’s not usually how we like it in the locker room af-ter the games,” junior defen-sive tackle Kheeston Randall said. “You have to take the highs with the lows, and this is a low.”

Just one week after holding

Texas Tech to 144 yards and 14 points in Lubbock, one of the most hostile environments in college football according to Texas players, the Longhorn defense was outrun at home by a UCLA offense that was able to slip in and out of a de-fensive line and secondary that couldn’t make the right tack-les.

Most notable on the UCLA offense was running back Johnathan Franklin who racked up 118 yards, which was more than the 101 total rush yards Texas gained by its committee of four different backs.

“We definitely didn’t play to our standard,” junior safety Blake Gideon said. “I can speak

for the defense and we are em-barrassed that we didn’t hold up to our standard and show everyone how we’ve been pre-paring all week.”

Last year, the Longhorns had the No. 1 rush defense in the nation, only allowing oppo-nents to average 72 yards per game. On Saturday, Texas gave up 264 rush yards — quite a turnaround from 2009, consid-ering it had been leading col-lege football in that category as well in the first three games of 2010, at just under 42 yards rushing per game.

“Honestly, I don’t real-ly know what happened,”

UCLA 34TEXAS 12

‘Rout 66’ replicated in shocker at DKR

By Jordan GodwinDaily Texan Staff

Whatever you did before the game on Saturday, never do it again.

Whatever you wore, burn it. Whatever you ate, forget it. Whoever you watched the game with, un-friend them. The monumental death that Texas football suffered Satur-day can only be your fault.

Head coach Mack Brown no-bly took the fall after the game and expressed his embarrass-ment and sympathy for the fans. There’s no denying it — when the Longhorns lose, everyone associated with the University of Texas loses. Your Facebook friends make fun of you, your parents say you should have listened to them when they told you to attend an Ivy League school and your pets act like they don’t know you.

And unfortunately for all of us, this loss won’t get Reggie Bushed — it’s in the history books to stay. Just like that 66-3 whooping UCLA put on Texas the last time the Bruins visit-ed Austin in 1997, a loss com-monly referred to as “Rout 66.” Saturday’s loss was the biggest margin of defeat the Longhorns have suffered at home since that game, more than 13 years ago, and it was the worst home loss Brown has ever coached atTexas.

“I don’t feel like we’re very good at anything right now,” Brown admitted after the game.

But there was no hiding the fact that the Texas offense has been moving toward that im-plosion all season. The offense

played almost exactly like it did the past few games. The run-ning game struggled and had 85 yards for an average of 3.7 yards per carry. The passing game was inaccurate as quarter-back Garrett Gilbert went 30 of 45, wildly missing big-time op-portunities. Texas had five turn-overs, an insurmountable cardi-nal sin.

In many ways, except for the fact that Jordan Shipley wasn’t there to help Texas into the end

zone, the offense rehashed the woes of the national champion-ship loss in January. Fans didn’t blame Gilbert after that one, and it’s tough to blame him now — he’s just trying to match his skills to the offense that the coaches have designed for him.

The two aren’t meshing.“Sometimes you can learn

more from a loss than from a win,” Gilbert said.

Fans are vilifying offensive coordinator Greg Davis for

questionable play-calling, and they may have a valid argu-ment. If Texas somehow plays in a bowl game and the Big 12 Championship, they’ll play 14 games this season. Average his sal-ary and Davis earned a whopping $29,791.07 on Saturday night. That much money for that lit-tle effectiveness on offensive play calling?

The truth is, the Texas fan base has grown very comfort-able with winning. If you’re a

student in your second year at Texas, that was the first time you’ve seen the Longhorns lose a regular season game. It burns, but are the expectations of this football team too high?

“Of course not,” said wide receiver Marquise Goodwin. “This is the University of Tex-as and expectations are always high. We have to fill those ex-pectations and get the little things corrected. This one loss is not going to bring us down.”

By Emily BrlanskyDaily Texan Staff

Women’s soccer head coach Chris Petrucelli had hoped the Longhorns’ final trips as Big 12 oppnents to Lincoln, Neb., and Boulder, Colo., would in-clude more than a learning ex-perience, but in the end his team was only able to earn just that and one point in the conference standings.

Texas brought home a 2-1 loss and a 0-0 tie from its Big 12 opening weekend road trip against Nebraska on Friday and Colorado on Sunday, moving to 6-2-2 in the season and 0-1-1 in the Big 12.

Acting as the silver lining to a rough weekend, redshirt fresh-man Leah Fortune returned to Austin as the Longhorn’s top scorer after she scored her fourth goal of the season against the Huskers. Fortune’s goal was the only one the Longhorns posted this past weekend.

Fortune netted the ball mere minutes after Nebraska forward Morgan Marlborough shot in a free kick to the back of the net past Texas goalkeeper Alexa Gaul in the second half of the game. Looking for the through ball, Fortune capped off a throw-in from junior forward Stacey-

Ann Smith and sent the ball fly-ing into the upper corner of the net. Unfortunately for Texas, Marlborough got right back in the action and scored the Husk-ers’ second goal from a penalty kick inside the box.

Nebraska outshot the Long-horns 17-8, but Gaul proved to be a valuable asset when she made a career-tying total of sev-en saves in the box. Gaul was able to stop one-on-one and far-post shots from the Husk-ers’ forwards, yet Marlborough challenged Gaul when she dem-onstrated skills of her own with her back-to-back goals.

In attempt to recover from that loss, the Longhorns pushed Col-orado into double overtime in Boulder on Sunday, but weren’t able to put one behind CU goal-keeper Annie Brunner. In the first period of overtime, Fortune was open in the box on one occa-sion, but was unable to touch in a long cross from Amanda Lis-berger. She was unlucky again on a rebounded shot off Brun-ner a few seconds later. Colora-do outshot Texas 12-8 but never broke past Gaul’s defense.

There were few chances for ei-ther team to score in the match, according to Petrucelli, but he believed that it was a hard

fought game and that the Long-horns faced some tough com-petition in both games this past weekend.

“We certainly now under-stand what it is like to play in the league, especially for our

young girls,” Petrucelli said. “It’s a really good learning expe-rience because playing in the Big 12 is different than what we’ve played up to this point.”

Texas will take this week-end as a learning experience,

as it was the first time that the Longhorns face Big 12 teams this season, and will gather on the home field to play the University of Wisconsin-Mil-waukee in Austin on Friday at 7 p.m.

Vandermade shines at Vanderbilt

From page 7

Randall said. “[UCLA] played a great game against us and it’s just back to the drawing board now.”

The Longhorns were down a manageable 13-3 at the half and the score could have been much worse since Texas’ of-fense and special teams turned the ball over four times. Giv-en those circumstances, the de-fense worked hard to hold the Bruins to 77 first-half yards on 30 plays.

As they trudged into the lock-er room at halftime, heads hung low. The Longhorns hoped to come back with some urgency in the second half. That desire was shot down early when UCLA opened with an 80-yard scoring drive that wore down the rush defense that had been on the field for much of the first half.

“We felt like we had a good hold on what they were doing in the first half,” Gideon said.

“But when we came out for the second half, we weren’t able to capitalize on some of the things we were seeing. I think we all

played hard, so that wasn’t the issue. It was just a matter of ex-ecution.”

With an essentially inexperi-enced offense, the Texas defense has carried the team through the first three games. By game four, the defense appeared worn out.

“The offense didn’t give the defense enough hope,” head coach Mack Brown said. “The defense got their heads down ... it seemed like we just kept mess-ing up.”

The week before the Oklaho-ma game has historically been rough for the Longhorns, as Brown said earlier last week. In fact, Texas’ last home loss in 2007, a 41-21 smothering in the rain by Kansas State, also took place the week before OU. Tex-as went on to lose the Red River Shootout, 28-21.

The Longhorns’ plan to have a short-term memory and focus on correcting their mistakes and beating OU all week long.

“There are a lot of things we can do as a team to get better in the next few days,” Randall said. “I’m not really worried about it.”

One loss doesn’t kill a sea-son, but if the Longhorns need to start worrying, they may only have to wait a few days.

LOSS: Forty Acres lacks usual liveliness

WOMEN’S GOLF

By Chris HummerDaily Texan Staff

The Longhorns continued their first-semester string of tourna-ments with the Mason Rudolph Invitational hosted by Vander-bilt over the weekend. This tour-nament marks the return of head coach Martha Richards, previously the coach at Vanderbilt until taking the job at Texas in 2007.

“Returning last year was harder than this time. This year I’m really the coach of Texas.” said Richards. “Now I’m a Longhorn. It was great to be a part of Vanderbilt but now I want to beat them.”

The Longhorns started the week off with cumulative team score of a 6-over 294, which was good for 14th place, trailing the LSU Tigers, who had a team score of 10-under to lead the tournament.

Junior Nicole Vandermade and sophomore Haley Stephens led the team with rounds of 2-under, and were two of 24 players who fin-

ished the round under par. Both finished their day off strong. Van-dermade birdied on three out of her final five holes, and Stephens finished her round with back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18.

The team finished the second round with a combined score of 5-over 293, moving up the leader-board to 13th place. LSU continued to lead the tournament with a com-bined score of 16-under with Pur-

due following close behind, trail-ing by only a single stroke. Van-dermade once again led the team with another round under par. She finished with a 1-under 71, plac-ing her in a tie for 11th place.

The Longhorns started the fi-nal round Sunday at 8:23 a.m. on the 10th hole. Looking to build on their previous rounds and move up on the tournament ladder, the team improved over their two previous rounds with a score of a 2-over round and finished in 13th place for the tournament.

“Overall we hit the ball well, need to work in the wind and get better in crosswinds by get-ting lower a trajectory on the ball. We also hit lots of good putts that burned the edges” said Richards.

LSU finished their wire-to-wire victory with a final score of a 21-under 843, finishing two strokes ahead of Purdue in a tight victory.

Vandermade once again led the team with a score of even-par, fin-

ishing the tournament in 20th place. With sophomores Madison Pressel and Katelyn Sepmoree matching Vandermade at even par, Stephens finished her round with a score of

1-over and freshman Rebecca Lee-Bentham finished at 10-over.

One positive that Texas can take away from this tournament is that this is the same course that

will host the 2012 NCAA Cham-pionships. This bodes well for the young Longhorns who aspire to play in Franklin, Tenn., two years down the road.

MOURNING: Horns face unfamiliar ineptitudeFrom page 1

‘‘It was great to be part of Vanderbilt but now I want to beat them.”

— Martha RichardsHead coach

‘‘The defense got their heads down ... it

seemed like we just kept messing up.”

— Mack Brown Head coach

in the AP poll in 36 weeks — snap-ping what had been the longest streak in the country at the time.

“This is the University of Tex-as and expectations are always high,” wide receiver Marquise Goodwin said following the loss. “We just have to fill those expec-tations and get the little things corrected. This one loss is not go-ing to bring us down.”

When it comes to college foot-ball, to be the best, perfection is needed. And when it comes to this year’s squad, they are far from perfect.

Saturday’s 34-12 loss to UCLA marked the Longhorns first home defeat since 2007, when Texas fell to Kansas State — also one week before the annual Red Riv-er Shootout

against Oklahoma.The majority of students at UT

today, including this writer, had never witnessed a home loss.

“It is tough facing reality,” ju-nior Wes Ply said. “It is kind of hard to come to the realization that Texas isn’t as good as we thought.”

The Texas Athletic Department has spoiled Longhorn fans. In re-cent years it wasn’t about if Tex-as was going to win. It was by how much.

And when one thing goes, it is time to start pointing fingers. Last time Texas lost by a margin of 22 or worse at home was when the last the Longhorns hosted UCLA in a 66-3 shellacking in 1997. It became known as “Rout 66.” Fol-lowing that season, a new head coach came to Austin.

Don’t worry. Mack Brown is not going anywhere. But it will be interesting to see if there are other adjustments on the Long-horn coaching staff.

But for now, whether you like or not, Texas fans are stuck with this football team.

Despite the loss, fans such as

Ply are still making the trip to Dallas for Saturday’s matchup against Oklahoma.

Others, however, are not. Fol-lowing the loss, dozens of listings on Craigslist (asking for way too much money) immediately ap-peared as people are now trying to avoid making the trek to Dal-las to see Texas play.

Following Texas’ 2007 home loss, the Longhorns immediately suffered one against the Sooners — the last time they fell to their rivals from the north.

This year, it could be the same sto-ry. Another loss would take away the slim chance the Longhorns have of reaching a national champion-ship and would immediately hurt them in their quest for a Big 12 title.

“Just saying the words OU around here gets everybody fired up,” running back Fozzy Whit-taker said. “We’ll be going in there pumped up after this loss.”

The players will be pumped up, but will their fans be?

Austin City Council passes food cart regulations

Jamaal Felix | Daily Texan Staff

Nine-year-old Annie pays her respects to victims of suicide Saturday morning at the Texas State Capitol.

Capitol walk raises suicide awareness

From page 1

response to that.”This year’s freshman class in-

cludes a majority of nonwhite stu-dents for the first time and 23 per-cent of those freshmen are Latino or Hispanic. Overall, the UT student population was 16.2 percent Lati-no or Hispanic in fall 2009. Howev-er, Bunch said a broad range of col-ors, languages and political and so-cioeconomic backgrounds make up UT’s Latino community, and events this week will showcase both unity and diversity.

“We’re the fastest growing eth-nic minority and it is expected that we will become the largest popula-tion in the state of Texas in the next couple years,” he said. “There is so much diversity to our community that so many people identify with, so it’s impossible to put us in a sin-gle box. I don’t have the privilege of having dark skin, so I have to prove to people all the time that I am Latino. This week, we want to ask ourselves and other students: What does it mean to be Latino?”

Because the Latino community is growing rapidly and impacts Tex-as, organizers of the Latino Heri-tage Week events are encouraging students from all parts of UT to at-tend events and interact with the program, said Ilse Quijano, direc-tor of communications for the Lati-no Pan-Hellenic Council.

“I grew up in [a] predominate-ly white neighborhood where a lot of the kids didn’t understand why I and my family would or wouldn’t do certain things,” Quijano said. “We want people to come and ask questions. This is for all students. For example, in American culture, it’s more common for students to drive at 16, but some of my cousins live in Mexico still and they didn’t drive until they were 18. It was hard for my parents to understand why I wanted a car at 16.”

Bunch said one of the most sig-nificant roadblocks to long-term economic success facing many La-tino students is a lack of access to or information about graduate edu-cation. Graduate Student Assembly president Manny Gonzalez will be part of a leadership panel tonight to discuss what it means to be a Lati-

no leader and topics such as Lati-no males’ struggle to obtain college degrees.

“A lot of times these students have struggles with juggling mul-tiple identities, struggles with com-pleting their four-year degrees, struggles with college readiness,” Gonzalez said.

This week’s program is the first of what council leaders say they hope will become an annual project. Ed-ucational administration graduate student Cecilia Lopez, who will be featured at tonight’s panel as a Lati-no leader, said she hopes the Latino community can continue to come together and work for common goals such as increased access to higher education and greater unity within the community.

“We can do bigger, better things if we come together as one strong community,” Lopez said.

LATINO: Program focuses on education, diversity

By Lauren GiudiceDaily Texan Staff

The Austin City Council passed regulations for Austin’s mobile vendors that improve sanitary and safety standards, but many vendors have already been abid-ing by these rules.

The council passed the new regulations that require mobile vendors to disclose the com-missary or kitchen where they buy their products by a 7-0 vote Thursday. Other requirements include accurate sales tax report-ing, proper city permitting and disclosure of routes. The regula-tions will go into effect Oct. 4.

The origin of the regulations came from the vendors themselves,

said Sue Simons, supervisor of mo-bile vending programs for the Aus-tin/Travis County Health and Hu-man Services Department.

Vendors raised the issue in May and held multiple meet-ings with the city to discuss how new health requirements could impact their businesses.

“Food traceback is a very im-portant aspect of the new regu-lations. The city needs to know the origin of the products they sell,” Simons said. “Providing an itinerary of their route gives us a means to locate them to ensure that the food supply is safe.”

Many vendors said the regula-tions are reasonable and will im-prove the industry, Simons said.

“We stay within the law. The new restrictions are very minimal and I actually think there should be more,” said Steve Cohn, owner of Stony’s Pizza at Red River and Sixth Street. “I have seen many vendors with trailers that are both a health and safety hazard.”

Cohn said Texas laws are very lenient compared to other states.

“I am quite happy with the outcome. I have been pretty in-volved with the discussion and the regulations that will be im-plemented on Oct. 4 have been debated for about a year. Noth-ing that was passed was un-reasonable,” said Ricardo Guti-errez, co-owner of F.N. Goode Burgers behind The Local on

Guadalupe Street.Mark Avalos, one of the owners

of Sugar Shack BBQ, said he is very pleased with the new regulations.

“People would show up to work sites with an oven in the bed of their truck. They would undercut real businesses,” Avalos said. “Re-strictions were definitely necessary when that began happening.”

Avalos said there are not enough health inspectors in the city and there probably never will be.

“With about 2,000 mobile food vendors in Austin, it is impossi-ble to keep track of all of them,” he said. “So it is the responsibil-ity of the customer to look for the vendor’s sticker to see if it’s a real business.”

More than 500 people walked around the Texas Capitol on Sat-urday to raise awareness about suicide prevention during the Out of the Darkness community walk. Saturday’s event drew the largest turnout in the last three years. The participants earned more than $44,000 for the American Founda-tion for Suicide Prevention.

Those affected by suicides in their families have a higher rate of death by suicide themselves, said Leslie Paloma, whose 17-year-old son, Scott, died by suicide four years ago.

“Since Scotty’s death, I know I wanted to see him, just to see if he’s OK,” Paloma said. “Suicide abso-lutely adds guilt. There is nobody to go after or blame except ourselves. What could we have done?”

Paloma said she missed her son’s warning signs and did not seek appropriate help.

“Because he didn’t know it was OK to reach out, we’re walk-ing here today,” she said. “If we can get them over that hump ... so many people wouldn’t be here walking in this walk.”

Elizabeth Roebuck, chair of the foundation’s Central Texas chap-ter, said raising awareness that suicide is a major health concern will break the stigma of not seek-ing help. The best strategy is to ask what they think about “suicide” or

“killing themselves,” she said.“The myth is if you ask about

the question, it might make them choose,” Roebuck said. “The di-rect opposite is true. If we get in-dicators that someone might be contemplating suicide, that’s the right time to ask directly, and di-rect them to the resources.”

Roebuck said Austin has the highest rate of suicide of any

metropolitan area in Texas. Mid-dle-aged men, the elderly, veter-ans and Hispanics are among the most at-risk, she said.

In more than 90 percent of sui-cide deaths, the victims suffer from often undiagnosed or untreated psychiatric illnesses, according to the American Foundation for Sui-cide Prevention’s website.

“It is a preventable death, if the

community provides a safety net for those at risk,” Roebuck said. “It’s something we’re not com-fortable talking about yet. The critical thing is to bring suicide prevention [to public conscious-ness] and help get the commu-nity aware [that] mental health is very important, and to break the stigma of seeking help.”

LIFE&ARTSMonday, September 27, 2010 11

By Gerald RichDaily Texan Staff

Edward Norton plays a haunt-ingly meditative role once again as the title character in the mov-ie “Stone.”

In the film directed by John Cur-ran, Robert De Niro plays parole officer Jack Mabry, who is thrown for a loop when he interviews Stone, a convicted arsonist up for parole.

As usual with Norton’s films, the opening seems innocent enough. Mabry is due to retire in a month, and Stone is a con-vict with cornrows and tat-toos claiming to be reformed enough for parole. Contrast De Niro’s straight-faced por-trayal of Mabry with Norton’s squeaky-voiced, jittery Stone, and the first few scenes are a comical juxtaposition.

But things take a drastic turn when Stone claims to Mabry that he has been “reborn.” While Stone sets off to find spiritual en-lightenment from a book on a fictional spiritu-al religion in the pris-on library, his initial ploy to use his wife, played by Milla Jo-vovich, to seduce Mabry continues to unfold.

Eventually, Mabry is caught in a whirlwind between the extremes of the enlightened Stone, who has come to terms with fate, the fatal attrac-tion of Stone’s wife and his own

wife’s devout Christianity until he cracks.

One of the most beautiful and eerie aspects of “Stone” is

the music. Inspired by Stone’s philosophy

that revelat ion comes through sounds that res-onate like a tun-ing fork , the soundtrack is

riddled with dark humming motifs.There were already

some whispers of Oscar nominations from the crowd af-ter it screened at Fantastic Fest.

However, the movie is no-

ticeably slow to start. Most of the first half of the film sets up Mabry’s descent into uncertain-ty, meaning it’s filled with him acting as a bastion of what a good parole officer and husband should be.

Despite this, it begs a sec-ond viewing to catch all the layers of tension; from the act-ing to the music to the cine-matography of vast farmlands and confined prison spaces. “Stone” combines all of the sub-tle elements of film to leave a lasting impression.

of their films taking place in the wilderness.

“The outdoors play a major theme in their movies,” Schulze said. “The outdoors serve as a sanctuary for the horrible atroc-ities that occur and surround the characters.”

Horrible scenarios their charac-ters endured in past films include World War III and an epidemic that results in humans mindless-ly killing one another. Their current proj-ect is a depar-ture from this trend to prob-lems on a more personal lev-el. It’s called “Troplet” and it’s about a teleporting be-ing, stuck on Earth, trying to get back to his own universe.

“I am fasci-nated by tak-ing the every-day life, add-ing some su-pernatural and watching what comes out,” Duggan said.

Duggan and Mauldin’s work extends beyond the realm of film. They create music videos for bands like Panic the Brave from San Antonio. Duggan and Mauldin aren’t afraid to explore new media.

Mauldin works on the film crew for the UT football games helping to make the recordings the team uses to review afterward — some-thing one of his proclaimed influ-ences, UT radio-television-film alumnus Robert Rodriguez, did

in high school. Characteristics of Mauldin’s idols’ movies are pres-ent throughout his body of work. He cites James McTeigue’s “V for Vendetta” and “Friday Night Lights” as two major inspirations of his films.

Duggan cites Steven Spielberg as one of his primary influences. They share an appreciation of ex-traordinary, grandiose situations as premises for a story.

“Steven Spielberg is a huge in-fluence on me personally,” he said.

“His earlier films just fill you up with a sense of magic and wonder.”

While Mauldin and Duggan have invested a tremen-dous amount of time and effort to realize their dreams, they still have a long way to go.

The motion pic-ture industry is a competitive, cut-throat market into which many film students struggle making a success-ful transition. Even now, Mauldin and Duggan have dif-ficulty with things

like screenwriting and finding a screenwriter who can convey the meanings they’re looking for and the stories they want to tell. While their future in the film industry has yet to be determined, it is cer-tain that Mauldin and Duggan will make every effort to pursue their passion.

“We realize it’s mostly who you know in the film industry, regard-less of talent and what you know, and even so we just want to con-tinue to do what we enjoy — mak-ing movies,” Duggan said.

Edward Norton speaks to the press at a red carpet event at the Paramount Theatre on Friday evening prior to a Fantastic Fest screening of “Stone,” John Curran’s recent film that stars Norton, Robert De Niro and Milla Jovovich.

Editor’s Note: This is the third install-ment of a prose and poetry series fea-turing UT students, faculty and staff.

Room like a cheap motel, dark except the bathroom light is on, door cracked and the room is hazy like a cave. He’s really close to my face, named Jude — prob-ably a lie — and with a weird lit-tle goatee. It is almost acciden-tal. It is like he forgot to shave or something and then continued to forget for a week or two.

“You want some?” he asks, and he slides the mirror over to me. Across the bed. It is the size of two palms, fingers spread, next to one another. Its back is textured and uneven like a pink seashell. It makes a sound when he gives it to me like the sound when you pull your socks on. Fabric against flesh, mon-ey against palm, mistake against chalkboard.

“Yes,” I say. I am actually lying to him. I just want to sleep. The idea of resting sounds roman-tic right now, because my legs hurt and my tongue is sore. I can barely focus. Someone might be blowing cold air on my neck, on my chest making the sparse patches of brown hair wave this way, curl that way. It might also

be the apprehension I feel when I lean over, rolled-up dollar bill a half a millimeter inside my nos-tril, and I snort long and hard like I am barely breathing.

We’re disgusting. Where was this dollar bill before? Three hundred years of white par-ty favors have traveled through here, seventy-five thousand ¡sa-luds!, and all sorts of thank yous. Maybe this should be my small-est concern, because after it’s in my nose cavity, dripping into my throat bitter like poison, the cold air feeling stops. It might be morning or I might be done hi-bernating or I might be incred-ibly gone. Outer space, outer south. It’s unclear to me. Jude has moved the mirror off the bed. It’s clean now except for little remains of white, thin and ghostly like winter breath.

He asks me if I like it, if I want him, his ass, if I like being his. Hands above my head, his fists clenching my wrists, his fingers white like heat — was he always this strong? With a gold ring on his thumb in the shape of Tex-as. Similar to being handcuffed. It all feels familiar. I say yes in a voice that isn’t my own.

I’m thinking about when I was sweeter and smarter. I imagined boys with tanned skin, peroxide Mohawks, pierced ears, holding hands with me going 80 down I-45. Kissing like children with innocent persistence. We’d al-most forget how hard we were,

Saturday was another typical-ly packed night at the 21st Street Co-op, where local bands Wild Moccasins and The Eastern Sea were to take the stage. It wasn’t until a mutual friend point-ed him out that I noticed The Eastern Sea’s Matt Hines stand-ing right next to me, drinking a

Lone Star.It would be

a n u n d e r -s t a t e m e n t to say that it’s been an interesting

five years for Matt Hines ,

lead guitarist and vocalist for The Eastern Sea.

Initially a solo project, The Eastern Sea ballooned into a full band in 2006 with drummer Zach Duran, bass guitarist Tomas Ola-no, trumpet player Kevin Thom-as and keyboardist Pam Cantu. The band released two consecu-

tive EPs before going on to tour Texas and the rest of the U.S., all the while building a strong fan base in Central Texas.

Matt Hines took the time to sit with the Texan to discuss his most recent tour, an upcom-ing full-length album and why he’s cynical about Death Cab for Cutie references.

The Daily Texan: So what was this most recent tour like? What was the reception like outside of Austin?

Matt Hines: The tour went all the way up the middle of the country and to the Midwest and to the East Coast and back down to here. It was really, really well-received, surprisingly, because nobody knows who we are ...

DT: Outside of Austin, you mean?

MH: Yeah, outside of Austin and Houston, really. But now it’s a completely different per-spective seeing places that we can draw people in. We played two packed shows in New York City, a crazy cool show last night

in New Orleans. We sold out our shirts, almost sold all of our CDs. We’re lucky. I can only hope that [our next tours] would be so great.

DT: Do you have a theory why this tour went so well?

MH: Well, we didn’t play as many shows as we could have. I booked the tour, me and Zach booked the shows. Booking shows is tough. Sometimes peo-ple don’t respond, and we had a couple of holes. We probably should have played four more shows. They might have been bad shows, so hypothetically we skipped the “bad” shows and played the good ones.

DT: Were there any particular moments on tour that stick out to you now?

MH: We got really, really drunk in Pittsburgh. The guy we were staying with was actu-ally a Canadian immigrant. He was squatting at a house just to get a green card, and we got plastered on gin and proceeded to cut our hair with giant scis-

sors. So when we woke up the next day, we all had haircuts. I could show you pictures; it’s pretty disgusting.

DT: On a completely unrelat-ed note: describe your perfect sandwich.

MH: My perfect sandwich has sourdough bread. Turkey or sa-lami. Could be an Italian sand-wich. Sourdough, turkey, swiss cheese, honey mustard, lettuce and a ton of sprouts.

DT: You get one adjective to describe The Eastern Sea’s mu-sic; what is it?

MH: Dynamic.

One evening in Whitis Court, a girl was silently serenaded by a kid wearing oversized sunglass-es, skinny jeans and a hoody. This scene would look absurd, until you noticed it was being filmed by two students. Those students are Joshua Duggan and Jeshua Mauldin, San Antonio natives and freshman radio-television-film majors in the College of Com-munication. More importantly, they’re student filmmakers.

The scene at Whitis Court is the result of Duggan and Mauldin’s shooting of their first music video in Austin for a friend, Taylor Fer-

guson’s electronica solo project, thelovecrimes.

Duggan and Mauldin actually have more eclectic backgrounds than their San Antonio roots indi-cate — Duggan was born in Ha-waii, and Mauldin lived in Nica-ragua and for much of his life. Be-tween them, they have a tremen-dous amount of life experienc-es that they can draw into their films, something Duggan cites as being intrinsic in their work.

“We have a very homegrown approach to filmmaking, very naturalistic style with little fo-cus on special and visual effects,” he said.

Their close friend Tyler Schulze,

who also writes for the filmmak-ing duo, talks about the natural-istic element that Duggan and Mauldin’s films focus on and the human aspect that they like to mesh with it.

“[Duggan] likes to approach a story from the natural human side of things,” he said. “For ex-ample, if one of their films is based around a huge overreach-ing problem, they’ll focus on the trials and tribulations of those closely involved, instead of the event itself.”

They even follow the natural motif on a literal level with most
