What I remember

about that day, Sept. 11,

2001, is I was sitting in
my office watching prac-
tice video and [Assistant
Athletics Director for
Football Operations] Ar-
thur Johnson walked in
and said, Coach, I just
want to make you aware
that a small plane has hit
one of the Twin Towers
in New York.
And my first thought was, what a tragedy for some
airplane to have gotten off course or somebody must
have had a heart attack or something to hit the Twin
Towers. And then Arthur came back in and said,
Coach, I think its more than that. Another plane hit
the Twin Towers. And then I turned on the television
and started watching, and from that point forward, we
understood that we were under terrorist attack.
My first thought was with the Bush family living
in Austin and one of the daughters being at the Uni-
versity of Texas what about the safety of our players?
What about the safety of their families?
We stopped our meetings immediately, and we
got on the phone and started calling and texting our
players to make sure that they were OK, trying to get
them to this building, trying to get them downstairs
so that we could all put some sense into what was
going on with our country.
There were some scary moments because it took
some time to communicate because so much of our
communication was down. It was an open date week,
and I do remember we decided not to practice that af-
ternoon and we decided to sit and talk as a team and
a football family about what had happened. We talked
about the potential impact on them, their children and
their grandchildren.
We played Houston the next week, and every one
of our players carried a flag for the National Anthem.
And since that point, we have carried at least two flags
out onto the field. We try to have each of the young
men that are carrying the flag onto the field have some
sort of affiliation with our armed forces by having a ei-
ther a relative or a dear friend in the military.
And as you look back ten years ago, our incoming
freshmen were eight years old at that time. So well go
back through some of the changes in history over that
moment this afternoon with our team.

MACK BROWN
Editors note: This Sunday, people across campus and
the country will remember exactly what they were doing
ten years ago when two planes hit the Twin Towers and
killed approximately 3,000 Americans in a terrorist attack.
The Texan asked Longhorn head coach Mack Brown,
CFO Kevin Hegarty, lecturer Sherri Greenberg and
Journalism School Director Glenn Frankel where they
were and how they reacted on Sept. 11.

In this Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001 file photo, the south tower starts to collapse as smoke billows from both buildings of the
World Trade Center in New York.
While most of the UT com-
munity was in shock as they
saw the 9/11 attacks, one UT
alumnus scrambled to write
an article about aviation secu-
rity that would go on to win
the Pulitzer Prize.
At the time of the attacks,
Lynn Lunsford
worked as an aero-
space reporter for
The Wall Street
Journals Los An-
g e l e s bur e au.
Lunsford contrib-
uted to one of the
stories produced
on 9/11 that won
the paper a Pulit-
zer Prize for breaking news in
2002. Lunsfords bureau chief
called to tell him to turn on
the TV to see what he then
thought was a small plane
that had hit the World Trade
Center.
I could instantly tell that it
wasnt a small airplane. The hole
was too big, Lunsford said.
Lunsford reported on every
major plane crash from 1986
to 2009, which gave him the
insight to see that the first im-
pact wasnt an accident.
It was a beautiful, clear
day, so it made no sense that
a big jetliner would slam
into a building,
Lunsford said.
He said his co-
workers in the
Los Angeles office
didnt know what
to think as they
watched the news.
Everyone saw
it as an aviation di-
saster until the sec-
ond plane hit, Lunsford said.
He and the other report-
ers who contributed to his
article made phone calls to
the contacts theyd made
throughout their careers as
aviation journalists.

Cultural response to 9/11
reveals deeper meaning
By Allie Kolechta
Fine arts graduate student Court-
ney Sale has always had a hard time
finding the right words to speak
about the 9/11 attacks on the World
Trade Center. Nearly 10 years ago,
Sales brother-in-law entered the
North Tower to attend a conference
at the top floor of the tower. He nev-
er emerged.
Sunday will mark the 10th an-
niversary of the 9/11 attacks and
the anniversary of her brother-
in-laws death. After years of do-
ing research and having conversa-
tions with other families affected
by 9/11, Sale has finally found the
words to talk about her experience
and will debut them in a produc-
tion called september play.
For me, a lot of the play is dia-
logue I have on a daily basis with my
own family, Sale said. Its [talking]
about a personal loss thats situated in
public loss.
Sales play is one part of UTs
three-day 9/11 commemoration,
which will begin with a flag lowering
in Main Mall Friday morning and a
carillon concert at noon. Students are
encouraged to leave notes of remem-
brance, individual perspectives and
memories of 9/11 at the UT Tower,
according to the Universitys website.
All notes will be collected and saved
in official University archives in the
Dolph Briscoe Center for Ameri-
can History. Fridays activities will
conclude with a 9/11 panel entitled
Conversation 9/11: A Decade After,
Looking Forward hosted by the LBJ
School of Public Affairs.
The commemoration has been
a joint effort of the Office of the
President, Student Government,
Office of Relationship Manage-
ment and University Events. Di-
rector of University Media Rela-
tions Gary Susswein said recogniz-
ing and commemorating 9/11 is
very important to the University.

found impact on our nation and

It was the 2009 National
Book Award winner Let the
Great World Spin by Irish
author Colum McCann that
served as the impetus for UT
lecturer David Junkers neot-
eric pursuit.
As head of the College of
Communications Senior Fel-
lows Honors Program, hes
developed a course for this se-
mester that attempts to exam-
ine September 11th through
the backdoor of popular
culture.
In a way, it [Let the Great
World Spin] sort of helped
me reconceptualize the Twin
Towers, Junker said. To sort
of come back at what that
event meant, September 11th,
that act of terror what that
sort of meant in a longer kind
of cultural trajectory.
Let the Great World Spin
tells a story about the lives
of 11 different New Yorkers
on a single day in August of
1974. The single unifying im-
age of that novel is funambu-
list Philippe Petits high-wire
walk between the two towers
of the World Trade Center.
Petits daring stunt was also
the focus of the 2008 Acad-
emy Award-winning docu-
mentary, Man on Wire.
Neither the book nor the
documentary make any men-
tion of the terrorist attacks
of September 11th, 2001, in-
stead they focus on the beauty
and ingenuity of human cre-
ativity that was exhibited by
Philippe Petit for 45 minutes
on a brisk Autumn morning
in 1974. They exist as coun-
terpoints to the death and de-
struction of the events that
occurred on that same site 27
years later, fitting into a larg-
er cultural scheme that Junker
says attempts to help us pro-
cess 9/11.

Ten years after the 9/11 at-
tacks, the American Muslim
community is still working
to show support for its coun-
try and end
negative ste-
reotypes that
rose from the
tragedy.
Bus i ne s s
seni or and
president of
the Muslim
Students As-
sociation Safa
El shansho-
ry said the
events of 9/11
sparked heat-
ed rhetoric from both sides of
the controversy, but ultimate-
ly led to healthy discussion.
I dont think there is ever
going to be closure from any
aspect, Elshanshory said. A
lot of words have been let out
of the box and a lot of fear
was uncovered because of the
events, but this can all be seen
as a positive direction towards
understanding.
Elshanshory said it was
necessary to correct the ideas
many Amer-
i cans hel d
about the true
peaceful ways
of Muslims in
the immedi-
ate aftermath
of the attacks,
but she does
not believe as
many people
hold miscon-
ceptions as

after 9/11.
Some people think we have
to really go out of our way to

By the time I left the gym that
morning, the second plane had
struck the South Tower and every-
one understood this was no acci-
dent. I rushed to the Washington
Post just as the first reports were
coming in of the crash at the Pen-
tagon, and the newsroom al-
ready dispatching more reporters
up to New York suddenly faced
a massive breaking story just across
the Potomac. As editor of the Sun-
day magazine, I started tearing
up our long-scheduled issues and
making plans for several 9/11 is-
sues and stories. At the same time,
all of us volunteered for the imme-
diate task at hand. Our half-dozen
staff writers hit the streets, while
I and four other editors marched
over to the national news desk to
help process the reams of copy that
were soon pouring in.
The Post had literally hundreds
of people reporting and phoning
in what they were seeing. Some
of our reporters and photogra-
phers camped out at the Pentagon
with firefighters and rescuers for
several days. The newsroom was
controlled chaos lots of peo-
ple moving swiftly between desks,
endless hours working and staring
at computer screens, all of us with
our voices lowered out of respect
and awe for the enormity of what
we were covering.
I edited two of the longer piec-
es, one of them an early attempt to
put the attacks in perspective.
Many Washingtonians spent
the day in panic mode, fearing
more attacks; offices closed, send-
ing workers out onto streets that
suddenly seemed dangerous. My
older daughter, freshly graduat-
ed from the University of Virgin-
ia and working downtown at the
National Multiple Sclerosis Soci-
ety, called to ask if she could come
to the newsroom because Metro-
rail had shut down and she had no
way to get home. She sat in my of-
fice, watching the TV reports and
waiting for the threat to pass. In
the newsroom we were too busy
to ponder our own safety, but see-
ing her there somehow helped me
stay focused. Sometime in the af-
ternoon, I learned that a woman I
knew had been on the Washing-
ton flight. The Pentagon burned
for days.
changed the [lives] of many people
here at the University, Susswein said.
We think the events were putting
forward and the opportunities were
giving students to express their feel-
ings are an appropriate way to mark
this event.
Student body president Natalie
Butler said she remembers wak-
ing up on 9/11 to the news of the
first tower being hit on the radio
and talking about it in her seventh
grade class. Butler said Student
Government and the administra-
tion thought the tenth anniversary
was particularly important to the
campus and the community.
I hope the student body will
have a chance to reflect and think
about the impact 9/11 has had on
all of our lives, Butler said.
Saturday and Sundays events
will include a moment of silence
at the Texas football game against
Brigham Young University, a dark-
ened Tower and a Tower display
of the American flag. Sunday will
also feature the debut of Sales play
at Anna Hiss Gym at 8 p.m.
Sale said the play would only run
once a year coinciding with the com-
memoration of 9/11 and she hoped
the play would compel people to en-
counter 9/11 in a different way.
I want the audience to leave
something at the play, to remem-
ber and think about a better fu-
ture [and] to open up to each oth-
er a little more, Sale said. Thats
all I ask.

back, he said. Part of that act of re-
construction requires a lot of imagi-
nation and so these different respons-
es through film, novels, etc. give us a
chance to examine those things and
compare them with our own.
His hope is that by looking at the
event and understanding how differ-
ent communications media interact
interdependently within the cultur-
al discourse that has formed in the
wake of the attacks, he might be able
to bring a moral and intellectual clar-
ity to 9/11.
He admits that this is difficult to
do, mainly because of the simplistic
view of 9/11 often reinforced in news
media. Its a dialogue he describes as
destructive rather than didactic.
Sept. 11 so neatly maps onto real-
ly simplistic binary views of the world
as being divided into good and evil,
Junker said. These are really kind of
archetypal narrative forms and so its
really easy to look at this and filter it
through a really kind of narrow and
simplistic view of the world.
Though the attacks on Septem-
ber 11, 2001 are purported to be
the most extensively photographed
and documented events in human
history, because of the role the me-
dia has come to play in shaping the
reality of those events by break-
ing them down into a repetitious
stream of constantly narrowing
complexity, there exists an infor-
mational vacuum that Junker be-
lieves can only be filled by careful
analysis of the cultural response.
Theres all kinds of these stories
that well never know right about
the people who died in that event
and so these sloganistic tributes to
me are in a way inevitable, Junker
said. He described the current com-
memoration of the event in the me-
dia, such as Life magazines anni-
versary photo book that features an
overtly sentimentalized picture of a
fireman clutching an American flag,
as well-intentioned but largely mis-
guided. As a faculty member of the
advertising and public relations de-
partments, Junker said he under-
stands the need to market, promote
and eulogize sometimes.
But if thats all we get, we are real-
ly impoverished as a culture, as a na-
tion and as a people.
need to make greater efforts than that.
Elshanshory said she felt the heat-
ed rhetoric calm down toward the
middle of the decade, but she en-
countered negativity similar to 2001
when public debate began about the
construction of a Muslim communi-
ty center near ground zero.
Again politicians from the high-
est level began openly attacking the
religion because Muslims wanted to
build the Park 51 mosque, Elshan-
shory said. I felt a little dj vu.
Kristen Brustad, chair of the de-
partment of Middle Eastern Studies,
said the attacks of 9/11 brought out
the best and the worst in Americans.
She said the attacks inspired heartfelt
outreach toward Muslims but also
some uneducated outrage toward the
Muslim community.
Brustad said the Middle Eastern
Studies department has seen an in-
crease of students pursuing Muslim-
related courses since 9/11.
This is one of the few good things
that came out of 9/11, Brustad said.
People have become more globally
aware. Students have been more in-
terested in the language study and
the historic culture of the region.
Nadia Ahmad, a member of the
Ahmadiyya Muslim Communi-
ty in Round Rock, said she felt sor-
row that many Americans were in-
troduced to Islam in such a horrible
way after 9/11.
Ahmad said she believes a majori-
ty of the negative image of Islam has
cleared out in the 10 years since 9/11,
especially after the death of Osama
bin Laden.
All people think justice has now
been served since this mass murderer
has been taken out, Ahmad said. In
a way 9/11 has been avenged now.
Ahmad said it took much outreach
on behalf of the Muslim community
over the past 10 years to clear Islams
name in America. She said the Mus-
lim community in the U.S. has been
dedicated to get active in the com-
munity and spread good words.
We as Muslims had to defend the
honor of Islam and convey this mes-
sage that condemns any bloodshed,
any terrorism and values the sancti-
ty of life, Ahmad said.

we could to explain the situation
in the context of what was clear-
ly a new reality, Lunsford said.
Lunsford called the Federal
Aviation Administrations for-
mer associate administrator
for aviation security. He said
the administrations retired of-
ficial had been worried about
security on jetliners.
Lunsford contributed fore-
sights to the article about in-
creases in passenger searches,
weapon scanning improvements
and tighter airport access.
People who make decisions
are going to be reading what
you wrote, so what we tried
to do was set the agenda and
make sure the debate was fo-
cused in the right direction,
Lunsford said.
He said it was a thrill to re-
ceive the Pulitzer Prize, one of
journalisms top honors, but
never forgets the approximately
3,000 people who died that day.
Before taking a job at The
Wall Street Journal, Lunsford
worked as a reporter at the
Dallas Morning News, where a
fellow aerospace reporter from
the Washington Post took him
under his wing. This friend
and competitor, Don Phillips,
covered Sept. 11 from Wash-
ington, D.C. that day.
It was such a jumble, Phil-
lips said. It was keeping ahead
of the game as best you could.
Phillips said at the time, Wall
Street Journal reporters didnt
cover breaking news as much as
they covered stories big pictures.
The Journal was a newspa-
per that wanted to sit back and
get the background, Phillips
said. This was so big that they
had to go full tilt and thats
where Lynn [Lunsford] would
come in handy.
Lunsford said his editors
knew he could think on his
feet and didnt get rattled by
breaking news stories.
An experienced reporter sort
of goes into an out-of-body ex-
perience, Phillips said. So the
emotion just doesnt hit you.
Jonathan Friedland, the for-
mer LA bureau chief, said
The Wall Street Journal bu-
reau chiefs around the coun-
try had to divvy up the work
for the next days issue because
the New York headquarters
were destroyed by debris from
the towers. He said it was clear
Lunsford and the other avia-
tion journalists would be cen-
tral to the reporting that day.
He and the rest of the team
pulled out all of the stops to
provide Pulitzer-level report-
ing in a day marked by con-
fusion, misinformation and in
our case, the loss of our [head-
quarter] operation, Friedland
said. I remain enormously
proud of the work we collec-
tively did that day. It was spot
reporting at its very best.

I was actually working out at
the gym, and the gym has televi-
sions set up in front of the tread-
mills, and when I walked in, I
didnt know what had happened.
I saw on the television what had
happened, and as I was watching,
the second plane hit the tower.
So I watched this happening on
TV and I was absolutely horrified.
There were other people there and
it was totally silent. We had no idea
what was going on, but Ill never for-
get just watching it happen. Every-
body just stood still watching the tv
and watching everything unfold.
It was just a terrifying event, and
I had children who were young at
that time. They were in school. My
husband and I had discussions and
the elementary school gave us in-
formation abut what they would
be telling the kids and how to talk
to the kids. When the kids came
home, we had to talk to them about
it of course, which was really diffi-
cult because you need to let them
know what happened because of
course theyre going to hear about
it, but you have to do so in such a
way that theyre not terrified.
It was absolutely horrifying. No-
body had any idea what was real-
ly happening. I think that we were
able to discuss the situation with
our children in a way that did not
cause them undue stress. I get a pit
in my stomach just thinking about
it right now. As I said, watching
that unfold was just a truly terri-
fying experience. I was with other
people and everybody was just fro-
zen and silent. We were supposed
to, within a day or two of that, my
husband and I were going to take
a flight to New York and we did
cancel that. We thought it would
be too stressful for the kids.

I was giving a financial pre-
sentation to Dell Financial Ser-
vices. I was vice president of Dell
at the time before I came to UT. I
came to UT in Oct. of 2001, liter-
ally a short time after, less than a
month later.
I was in the middle of mak-
ing a monthly financial update,
and someone came in and said
to turn on the TV, that a plane
had hit one of the towers in New
York. Somebody started almost
kind of laughing because it was
so unreal. Ive never seen a room
quieter, you couldve heard a pin
drop. People were just in abso-
lute shock.
We kept the TV on and some
people watched, it seemed like for
hours, but after about 15 minutes,
we began to think of all the peo-
ple we had in the company who
might be in New York. None of
us understood the ramifications,
but we began thinking of who
do we have in the company that
mightve been there because New
York is a key financial center and
Dell was a huge company.
In the days that ensued as we
learned more, it was a really great
example of how people came to-
gether to help others whether it
was helping someone at home or
helping someone grieve. It was
amazing that from such a tragic
event could come such unity and
support, and it really showed peo-
ple how human we were and how
much we depended on each other.
Needless to say, I did not fin-
ish my financial presentation.
I remember so many details. It
was just so shocking, something
we would never have thought
would happen happened. You
had these monumental buildings
come down, one might say they
were likely to be damaged but
not just taken down like that, and
the loss of 3,000 plus lives in one
event. I think it burned into peo-
ples minds what they were do-
ing that day. I was the vice pres-
ident at Dell and Ill never forget
that day.
Students have voiced concerns about pos-
sible tuition increases which are intended to
improve four-year graduation rates and wor-
ry that those goals favor timely graduation
rates over quality education.
About 50 people attended a Tuition Poli-
cy Advisory Committee forum about tuition
recommendations for 2012-2014 on Wednes-
day. TPAC is considering recommending the
largest tuition increases that the UT System
will allow in order to cover budget shortfalls.
The committee will make their tuition rec-
ommendations to President William Pow-
ers Jr. on Nov. 28 and Powers will recom-
mend his own tuition policies to the UT Sys-
tem Board of Regents on how to set tuition
for 2012-2014. The UT System administra-
tion set a 2.6 percent cap on tuition increas-
es for in-state undergraduates and a 3.6 per-
cent increase for all other students. The Sys-
tem gave directives that any tuition increase
should be tied to improving four-year grad-
uation rates.
Business freshman Sunny Das pointed to
the proposed 3.6 percent tuition increase for
non-resident students like himself. Das said
he wondered whether UT would become
less-desirable for non-resident students if
tuition increased.
Student Government President Natalie
Butler, a TPAC member, said as a non-resi-
dent student herself, she thinks the University
recognizes the value of students from outside
of Texas, but the state legislature emphasizes
educating Texans as more important.
I think the more of us here the better,
Butler said.
Social work senior Faith Sandberg said
she claimed AP credits for college credit at a
much lower cost than the tuition for the same
credits. Sandberg asked if TPAC has consid-
ered increasing fees to keep the proposed
Lauren Pierce, president of
the UT College Republicans and
secretary of the statewide Tex-
as College Republicans, is facing
the consequences of a tweet she
posted voicing her opinion about
President Barack Obama and ref-
erencing the gunfire directed at
the White House last Friday.
Yall as tempting as it may be,
dont shoot Obama, Pierce said
in her tweet. We need him to go
down in history as the WORST
presi dent weve EVER had!
#2012.
Pierces tweet followed the news
of the Pennsylvania State Po-
lices arrest of 21-year-old Os-
car Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez in
connection with the White House
gunfire incident. Last Friday, gun-
shots were reported in front of
the White House and bullets were
found on White House grounds,
according to the Associated Press.
An assault-style rifle and emp-
ty shell cases were found in a car
which were all tied to the suspect
after shots were reported.
Pierce l ater apologized on
Twitter, saying she regrets pub-
lishing the tweet and that it was
in poor taste.
F
eb. 7, 2008: I am here to an-
nounce my commitment to the
University of Texas ... Im very excited
about this opportunity. I feel very blessed
... Its been my dream ever since I moved
to Austin.
Garrett Gilbert was the top-ranked
quarterback in the state and a senior-to-
be for the Lake Travis Cavaliers when he
committed to play football for the Texas
Longhorns. With the Cavaliers, he won
two state championships and rewrote the
states record books. Gilbert was expect-
ed to be the next great Texas quarterback.
There was no doubt.
So how did he get here? How Gilbert,
the most prolific quarterback in Tex-
as high school history, finds himself in a
situation deemed impossible benched,
hurt and on his way out of town is sur-
real, even to him.
I dont know why it happened, but for
whatever reason, it didnt work out [at
Texas], Gilbert told The Daily Texan. All
my focus is forward. I try not to get disap-
pointed by the past because I feel like Ive
got a great opportunity ahead of me.
Students participated in Thanks
Day outside Gregory Gym on
Wednesday by signing a giant
thank-you card to be presented to
UTs alumni and donors at a spe-
cial Texas Exes Thanksgiving din-
ner next Thursday.
Donations are essential to se-
curing UTs $2.26 billion annu-
al operating budget, said Julie Lu-
cas, assistant director for devel-
opment at the University Devel-
opment Office.
Student tuition and fees only
make up 24 percent, less than half
the 54 percent provided annually
by alumni gifts.
The event, organized by Stu-
dents Hooked On Texas, was de-
signed to educate UT students on
what it takes to create and fund
a Longhorn education. Students
filled in turkey-hand letters, writ-
ing the names of anyone they
were thankful to on the fingers, to
be sent to alumni. Lucas said do-
nations have been very stable year
to year despite the current eco-
nomic climate. Donations were
not being sought at Thanks Day,
Lucas said.
All we want to do is say thank
you to everyone who participates,
whether theyre UT parents,
alumni, donors, faculty, staff, tax-
payers, state legislators and ev-
eryone else, for helping to make
our students education possible,
Lucas said.
The horns down longhorn
that generated controversy in on-
line forums will not appear dur-
ing the halftime show at the an-
nual Thanksgiving football rival-
ry between UT and Texas A&M,
said an A&M spokesman.
Since first being posted online
in the forum section of the Tex-
Ags website around Nov. 8, a pho-
to depicting a longhorn whose
horns have been purposefully
weighed down so that they curl
under the chin has spawned ani-
mal welfare concerns from Long-
horns, Aggies and animal activ-
ists. The original photo was re-
moved without explanation, but a
post containing the image on the
Texas Exes Alcalde blog has gen-
erated 49,750 hits in just more
than 24 hours.
Jason Cook, spokesman for the
Texas A&M University System,
said the photo was not endorsed
by A&M, confirming that the
longhorn will not be appearing at
halftime during the game as orig-
inally rumored.
Any rumor of [this longhorn]
appearing at halftime is total-
ly false, Cook said. Texas A&M
has always treated our rivalry with
the University of Texas with the
utmost respect and dignity, and
Thursday will be no exception.
Some fans have expressed con-
cern online that weighing down
horns is a form of animal cruelty.
Ryan Huling, manager of College
Campaigns for PETA, an animal
rights group, said he was suspicious
that the animal was suffering.
Manipulating horns can cause
pain and alter a longhorns sense
of balance, Huling said. Its our
belief that this animal is in pain
and all for the senseless purpose
of school rivalry. Longhorns are
intelligent and gentle animals, and
while we appreciate Aggie spirit,
the stunt lacks general sensibility.
Rumors also circulated from
fans who believed the picture had
been modified using computer
software.
Laura Standley, editor-in-chief
of Texas Longhorn Trails Mag-
azine, the official publication of
the Texas Longhorn Breeders As-
sociation of America, says she be-
lieves the photo is authentic. It
is the first case she had seen of a
longhorn without horns resem-
bling the distinctive style made fa-
mous by the UT trademark.
It is real, but I dont know of
anybody weighing a longhorns
horns down for any reason,
Standley said. It doesnt hurt
them. There was no harming the
animal in anyway.

UT alumna and former Stu-
dent Government president Ran-
di Shade served on the Austin city
council from 2008 to 2011 and
worked under three different gov-
ernors, in addition to serving on
several committees and holding
membership in numerous local
and national organizations.
No longer serving on city coun-
cil, Shade now serves as moth-
er to two young children and lives
in central Austin with her partner,
Kayla Shell.
Shade said she was open about
her sexuality while running for city
council but does not promote gay
issues as her main agenda. Shade
said she is proud she ran open-
ly because she stayed true to her-
self and said she is a better person
for it.
My son is only 5 and doesnt
understand this now, but I dont
want him to think I was ever em-
barrassed of who I am, she said.
Shade said she was surprised
when she heard there had not been
a gay council member in Austin,
calling the city a blueberry in red
tomato soup, meaning the only
area with Democrats surrounded
by a large area of Republicans.
Unlike most cities in America,
really the world, Austin does not
have a gay ghetto, Shade said. In
Austin, the liberals fight the liber-
als. The fact that I was a business-
woman actually hurt me more than
that I was gay.
Members of the Harvey Milk
Society, an LGBTQ student group
within the LBJ School of Pub-
lic Affairs, invited Shade to
speak Wednesday.
Shade said she respects the
work of the openly gay 1978 San
Francisco city councilman Har-
vey Milk because he led the way
for others to be accepted and run
for political offices no matter what
their sexuality.
Harvey Milks main identity was
being a gay activist, Shade said.
Being gay is not my main identity.
You cant only focus on your agen-
da where this is a much larger con-
tingency to represent.
Asha Daneel, Harvey Milk So-
ciety lead coordinator and tex-
tile and merchandise graduate stu-
dent, said she was excited to hear
from Shade.
Harvey Milk is our mascot, of
sorts, because he was a gay politi-
cian, and as part of the school of
affairs, we try to stick to that area,
Daneel said.
Daneel said members are real-
ly trying to reach out to students
across campus and not only with-
in the LBJ school.
This is my first year at UT, and I
identify as queer, so I wanted to be
part of that community, said Alice
Bufkin, public affairs graduate stu-
dent and member of the Harvey
Milk Society.
Its never funny to joke about
such a serious matter, Pierce
tweeted. I have learned a very
valuable lesson.
John Chapman, public rela-
tions director for the UT College
Republicans, said the organiza-
tion has asked her to resign from
both of her positions because the
language used in her message was
contrary to their principles.
Our message is to foster pro-
fessional and respectful discus-
sion at the University, Chapman
said. Even though we might dis-
agree with Obama, implying or
attempting to commit violence is
not positive, constructive or ac-
ceptable discussion.
Chapman said Pierce was un-
available for comment about
the tweet.
Chapman said the publics re-
action to the tweet is a lesson for
all to understand the implications
of statements made on social
media sites.
This is going to make people
sit back and think, Hey, I need to
think before I post this, Chap-
man said. What you say on Twit-
ter is very public and can reflect
on yourself and the organization
you represent.
Chapman said a temporary
president will be appointed to
serve until the organizations gen-
eral elections take place at the end
of this semester.
Cameron Miculka, vice presi-
dent of the UT University Demo-
crats, said all Texans should con-
demn Pierces tweet regardless of
their political affiliation because
of the potentially dangerous im-
plications of the message.
For a UT student to joke about
killing the president being tempt-
ing is nothing short of disgrace-
ful, Miculka said. What one in-
dividual might see as a joke, an-
other may take as a challenge.
Government lecturer Shan-
non Bow OBrien said she thinks
Pierces tweet was intended to
be funny but was inappropriate
nonetheless.
The president is an elected
official, and our system allows us
to express opinions through vot-
ing, not violence, Bow OBrien
said. The student is likely get-
ting a harsh lesson that as the
elected president of a group, her
voice carries weight.

Executive vice president and provost Steven Leslie answers ques-
tions at a public forum regarding tuition hikes in the Main Building
on Wednesday afternoon.
Becky Rus, CEO of Live-
stock Concepts, a store selling
horn weights, said the owners of
the longhorn would have start-
ed training the horns of the calf
once they reached six inches long,
or at about one year of age. Horn
weights are usually purchased by
Hereford cattle breeders wanting
to achieve a certain horn shape for
competition but are never used on
longhorns, Rus said.
It has to do with the standard of
the breed, Rus said. Breeders want
Herefords to look a certain way, but
selective breeding has changed the
gene pool over time. To make them
look like the standard Hereford,
they put weights on them.
Next Thursdays game will be
the last time the two teams square
off before Texas A&Ms scheduled
move to the Southeastern Confer-
ence in July 2012.
tuition raise lower.
TPAC co-chair Kevin Hegarty,
vice president and chief financial
officer, said TPAC prefers to make
financial adjustments through tu-
ition so it is not done through
fees which can pile up on stu-
dents. Hegarty said another rea-
son TPAC prefers to increase tu-
ition instead of fees is that it in-
creases the funding pool for fi-
nancial aid. State law mandates
that public universities must allo-
cate 20 percent of tuition revenue
towards financial aid.
In regards to improving four-
year graduation rates, Hegarty
said he thinks the Board of Re-
gents is approaching higher edu-
cation with strategies seen in the
corporate world.
I cant pretend to know whats
going on in their mind, Hegarty
said. This is an education pro-
cess, were human beings. Thats
what makes this business very,
very different.
Transfer students are not count-
ed in four-year graduation rates
since they do not attend the Uni-
versity from their first year. So-
cial Work junior Gwen Cubit said
transfer students will not reap the
benefits associated with improv-
ing four-year graduation rates.
Cubit said transfer students
face different needs than students
who attend the University from
their freshman year.
I dont see transfer students
represented much, Cubit said.
Liberal arts sophomore Jordan
Metoyer, said the pressure from
the UT System does not seem as
transparent as the funding pres-
sure from the state. Metoyer is the
Student Government underrep-
resented students agency direc-
tor and said first-generation stu-
dents face many financial burdens
that make it difficult to graduate
in four years like the UT System
directives emphasize.
It seems like theyre trying to
get us in and out, Metoyer said.
For a student whose the first
in college, thats not as easy as
it sounds.
TPAC co-chair Steven Leslie, ex-
ecutive vice-president and provost,
said TPAC is trying to balance
the pressure from the UT System
to improve four-year graduation
rates while maintaining Tier 1 sta-
tus and providing students with an
environment in which they can ex-
plore their career options.
The committee will hold a forum
Nov. 30 to get student feedback about
its tuition recommendations to Pow-
ers before he makes recommenda-
tions to the Board of Regents.
More than 1,500 students participat-
ed in Thanks Day last year, said Lucas.
Government sophomore Hannah
Tucker, Students Hooked On Texas
philanthropy council member, said it
was important to increase the culture
of giving on campus.
Tucker said the aim of the event
was to get enough handwritten mes-
sages to send every single donor a
personalized message.
We want students to appreciate all
the donors and what they make possi-
ble, Tucker said.
Students Hooked on Texas was
formed in 1998 with the purpose of pro-
viding education for students about the
impact of philanthropy at UT. The orga-
nization sports a graphic representation
of fundings importance in the shape of
a cow on the groups brochure.
Student Government spokeswom-
an Sydney Fazende said she does
not think students are fully aware of
how much of UTs funding is reliant
on donors.
This campaign is all about letting
students know how important dona-
tions are, Fazende said. I didnt know
how much alumni donations made up
before Thanks Day, but the cow graph-
ic has been really effective in demon-
strating the funding breakdown.
Management information systems
junior Veronica Becerra filled in the
giant card with a message reading
Thank you for the support, my educa-
tion is thanks to you.
All the private donations that come
in are just so important, Becerra said.
Without them, I wouldnt be able
to [go] here.

Garrett Gilbert sat down with
The Daily Texan for an exclu-
sive interview, discussing his time
at Texas, high expectations and
his future at Southern Methodist
University.
Daily Texan: Did you think
about finishing your football
career and competing for the
starting position here?
Garrett Gilbert: It was a very
tough decision. I thought about
it a lot. I prayed about it a lot. I
just decided that this was best for
me. Maybe in the future, I could
look back and say that maybe I
should have stayed. Right now,
Im looking forward. Im excited
about the opportunity that SMU
will bring.
DT: SMU plays TCU every year
between now and 2015. Whats it
going to be like playing against
your little brother, Griffin?
Gilbert: Itll be fun. Well never
be playing against each other being
on the field at the same time. But
weve already got a little family ri-
valry going, so itll be
fun for me to get
to go against
him and for
us to get to
c o mp e t e
against each
ot he r f or
the first time.
Weve always been at Lake Trav-
is growing up being on the same
time. Itll be fun to compete against
each other in an organized setting.
DT: What was the worst mo-
ment during your time at Texas?
Gilbert: As much as last year
can be used as a learning expe-
rience, theres also negatives to
it. Being unsuccessful and being
part of a team that broke the 10-
win streak wasnt very fun. As a
team, we struggled to get through
that together. The guys that are
still there I know use it very much
like I did as motivation and as a
learning experience. I think thats
going to help them and helped
them have the success theyve had.
Also, watching Colt [McCoy] go
down in the national champion-
ship. Being able to learn so much
from him was a great opportunity
for me, but it was tough to watch
because he definitely deserved the
national championship.
DT: Were you told not to read
anything about you?
Gilbert: Nothing good can
come out of reading good stuff
about you, and obviously, noth-
ing good can come out of read-
ing bad stuff about you. They tell
us stay away from the media, but
its just a matter of staying fo-
cused on whats important and
understanding that outside, most
of the time, its their job to put
something out there that people
will read. Youve got to under-
stand that and understand that it
wont be beneficial to you.
DT: What are you going to
miss most about, not just playing
for Texas, but being in Austin?
Gilbert: Austins my home.
Itll be different being away from
home for the first time. I love the
city of Austin. I love being close
to home. I love Texas. I love the
Longhorns, and I love my team-
mates. And Ill miss all of that.
It ll be tough for me, but its
something that I have to do.
DT: Do you think youll be
the starter at SMU?
Gilbert: I dont know. My goal
right now is to go up there and get
to know the guys, learn the most
I can about the offense, learn as
much as I can from June Jones and
be the best teammate and leader I
can be. After that, I can start wor-
rying about competing for a job.
Wherever I would have gone, there
would have been competition.
DT: Hows the shoulder?
Gilbert: Its doing well. Im get-
ting range of motion back. Im
working on the rehab every day.
Its a long process.
DT: Can you throw?
Gilbert: No, not yet. Hopeful-
ly, Ill get to start in a month or so.
Thatll be a process, too. Its just
going to take a little bit of time.
DT: Whats your l ast i ng
memory of Texas?
Gilbert: Ill forever be a Long-
horn fan. Im very fortunate for the
opportunity I was given. Im going
to look back on it positively. Im
thankful for the opportunity I was
given to play football here because
this is my dream. Ill always be a
fan of the Texas Longhorns.

Gilberts arrival at Texas was a
highly anticipated one and after
a two-touchdown performance
against Alabama in the national ti-
tle game two seasons ago, expec-
tations for him rose to astronomi-
cal levels. Despite the lack of a pro-
ductive running game or a reliable
offensive line, Longhorn fans an-
imosity for Gilbert grew as they
witnessed their team go 5-7 in the
programs worst season since 1997.
The expectations were not too
high, Gilbert said. At Texas, every
year, its 10 wins, national champi-
onship or bust. I knew that when
I came to school here. I knew that
[expectations] would be part of it
when I came here.
The last ball Gilbert ever threw
for the Longhorns was an incom-
pletion against Brigham Young,
which moved his stat line that day
to 2-for-8 with two interceptions.
As he headed toward the sideline
where he would stay for the re-
mainder of the game a chorus of
boos rained down upon him.
Did I hear them? Oh yeah, I
heard them, Gilbert said. Its a
loud stadium. Youre going to hear
it. It didnt bother me or affect me,
but you hear them when youre out
there. I try to let it go in one ear
and out the other.
Thats the final time the home
crowd saw Gilbert. He made the
trip up to UCLA, but, demoted to
third-string on the depth chart,
didnt play. A week later, he an-
nounced he would get surgery to
repair the right shoulder injury he
says he suffered against Rice in Tex-
as opener. A week after that, Gilbert
announced he planned to transfer.
I decided it was best for me,
Gilbert said. Maybe in the future,
I could look back and say that may-
be I could have stayed here. Right
now, Im looking forward.
It didnt take long for Gilbert
to choose his next destination.
Gilbert said he took one look at
Southern Methodist Universi-
ty and made up his mind. He had
briefly considered Clemson, where
his former high school head coach
Chad Morris serves as offensive
coordinator. But with sophomore
Tajh Boyd firmly entrenched as
the starting quarterback, Gilbert,
who will have two years of eligibil-
ity after sitting out next year, de-
cided against playing for the Tigers
and chose instead to play for June
Jones in his pass-happy offense.
I fell in love with SMU, Gil-
bert said. June Jones has brought
in a great attitude to the program.
Hes gotten them to three straight
bowls, so theyre doing very well.
Theyve got that attitude where
they feel like they should win ev-
ery game.
Meanwhile, the timing of Gil-
berts decision to transfer was
questioned by some who believed
he strategically chose to leave the
program in time to claim a med-
ical redshirt. After he announced
his intentions to leave the program,
message boards blew up, criticiz-
ing Gilbert for his performance
and wondering why he never met
expectations. The University Co-
op cut No. 7 jersey prices in half. It
was a business move, but it served
as yet another reminder of the de-
mands and expectations Longhorn
quarterbacks face. Gilbert made
an effort not to read what was be-
ing said about him but sometimes
couldnt help it.
It was frustrating last year, he
said. I know Id accidentally read
stuff sometimes. I tried not to. I
tried to stay away from it.
Co-offensive coordinator Ma-
jor Applewhite, who played quar-
terback for the Longhorns from
1998-2001, can empathize with
Gilberts situation.
Playing quarterback here, its an
awful lot of responsibility, Apple-
white said. The best thing is to be
naive about the pressure, which I
played off pretty well.
Texas is bowl eligible, a feat that
it couldnt achieve a year ago, and
has established a strong ground
game following a season that saw
the Longhorns unsuccessfully at-
tempt to install an effective one.
Thats mainly due to the arrival
of tailbacks Malcolm Brown and
Joe Bergeron, the type of running
backs Gilbert never had the luxury
of playing with.
We kind of had a mid-season
transformation [in 2010], Gil-
bert said. [Running the ball] was
something that we tried to do,
and last year it didnt work out as
well as we wanted it to. This year,
theyre doing a great job of run-
ning the ball.
Texas passing attack has had its
ups and downs since Gilberts de-
parture. Case McCoy played well
against UCLA, only to be usurped
as starting quarterback three games
later by David Ash, who struggled
last week against Missouri. Gilbert
watches all the games and roots for
Texas, but hes not in the business
of wondering what if.
Its easy to be a guy who judg-
es, Gilbert said. Im sure during
practice or during the first two
games, Davids saying, Oh, I can
make that pass.
Bryan Harsin, Texas co-offen-
sive coordinator, has said some-
thing a few times this year that
sums up the kind of pressure quar-
terbacks face, especially those at
a high-profile, championship-or-
bust program like the one at Tex-
as. Gilbert repeated it.
Its something Ive known since
Pop Warner, Gilbert said. As a
quarterback, youre always going to
be a guy who gets too much credit
and youre also always going to be
a guy who gets too much blame.
That, unfortunately, was espe-
cially true for Garrett Gilbert.

President Obama announces
death of al-Qaida leader
WASHINGTON Osama bin Laden, the mas-
termind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that
killed thousands of Americans, was killed in a fire-
fight Sunday with U.S. forces in Pakistan, ending a
manhunt that spanned a frustrating decade.
Justice has been done, said President Barack
Obama in a dramatic late-night announcement at the
White House.
A jubilant crowd of thousands gathered outside the
White House as word spread of bin Ladens death.
Hundreds more sang and waved American flags at
Ground Zero in New York.
U.S. officials said the helicopter raid in Pakistan
was carried out by CIA paramilitaries together with
the elite Navy SEAL Team Six. The U.S. team took
custody of bin Ladens remains, which American of-
ficials said were being handled in accordance with Is-
lamic tradition.
The death marks a psychological triumph in a long
struggle, although its ultimate impact on al-Qaida is
less clear.
The greatest terrorist threat to the U.S. is now
considered to be the al-Qaida franchise in Yemen,
far from al-Qaidas core in Pakistan. The Yemen
branch almost took down a U.S.-bound airliner on
Christmas in 2009 and nearly detonated explosives
aboard two U.S. cargo planes last fall. Those oper-
ations were carried out without direct involvement
from bin Laden.
Obama said he gave the order for the operation af-
ter receiving intelligence information that he did not
further describe.
Former President George W. Bush, who was in of-
fice on the day of the attacks, issued a written state-
ment hailing bin Ladens death as a momentous
achievement.
Senior administration officials said the terror-
ist mastermind was found inside a custom-built
compound with two security gates. They said it ap-
peared to have been constructed to harbor one

I was in disbelief and then immediate celebration.
I think its a significant event in the war on terror
because the widest-known terrorist has been killed
by the U.S. Strategically, Im not sure how much it
matters, but it helped close the chapter on 9/11.
Cameron Bina
Psychology senior
Every time 9/11 rolls around, I dont know how to
feel because so much was twisted to justify so much.
So tonight, Im cynical about the national security
brouhaha, but Im glad Obama got him rather than
Bush. In a decade where American security looked
helpless, intelligence triumphed over brute force.
Travis Knoll
Latin American Studies sophomore
Some people are going to be really partisan about it,
and you cant avoid that happening, but I think most
people realize the hunt for Osama has been going
on since the Clinton administration. Its one of those
nights where no matter who your source is, everyone
is saying the same thing.

US court decision repeals ban
restricting stem cell research
A U.S. appeals court lifted the
ban on federal funding used for
embryonic stem cell research in a
2-1 vote Friday.
Paul Simmons, director of the
Centre for Stem Cell Research
at the Health Science Center in
Houston said the ban had not
yet affected the schools research
funding.
Had the appeals court ruling
gone the other way, that could
have been a very different scenar-
io from now on, Simmons said.
Two groups at the Houston
Health Science Center are re-
searching the use of embryonic
cells in curing immunology and
blood deficiencies.
Embryonic stem cells potential
use in curing diseases is based
on the flexibility of the cell to ad-
just itself to mirror any cell in the
body and the potential impact
of curing diseases and removing
strains on the health care system
is enormous, Simmons said.
Research at the UT Health Sci-
ence Center in San Antonio will
not be affected by the ruling be-
cause research at the center uses
adult stem cells, said vice presi-
dent for research Brian Herman.

NEWS BRIEFLY
82ND LEGISLATURE
By Melissa Ayala
Daily Texan Staff
Texas senators are expected to de-
bate two controversial pieces of leg-
islation this week the budget and
concealed carry on campus.
The state House and Senate are
looking for methods of easing the
$15 to $27 billion budget deficit for
the 2012-13 biennium. The House
passed its version of the budget bill
last month, which included major
cuts to education and health care.
Last week, the Senate Committee on
Finance passed its version, which re-
stores some of that funding.
The Senates proposed budget
would cut UTs funding by about
$51 million and attempts to tap into
the Rainy Day Fund, a $9.4 billion
emergency fund lawmakers can use
during financial crises.
Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San An-
tonio, filed a bill that would allow
concealed-handgun license holders
to carry on campus. The bill, which
seemed likely to pass without much
opposition at the beginning of the
session, lost support after constituent
pressure. Wentworth will try to give
the concealed carry on campus issue
new life through an amendment.
Senate on the State Budget
A week after the Senate Commit-
tee on Finance passed the budget
bill, senators may soon begin to de-
bate the 2012-13 biennial budget on
the chamber floor.
The Senate budget bill, which to-
tals $178.6 billion and would re-
store $12 million in funding for UT
from the House version, was origi-
nally slated for debate Thursday, but
the legislation did not have enough
votes and was pushed back. Sena-
tors anticipate the bill will reach the
floor today.
The proposed budget has drawn
heat from both political parties,
with some legislators opposing the
use of $3 billion of the Rainy Day
Fund. The disagreement over the
fund is one of the main reasons the
bill has stalled.
While each of us could point to
something in the budget we would
change, I am comfortable with the
method of finance for the budget,
said Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in a
letter to senators last week.
Dewhurst said he prefers to use
recurring nontax revenue, such as
economic growth, to balance the
budget instead of using the Rainy
Day Fund.
On Friday, lawmakers approved
Sen. Robert Duncans, R-Lubbock,
fiscal matters bill, which would add
$4.1 billion from existing tax rev-
enue to help ease next bienniums
budget deficit.
The budget bills author and
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Finance, Sen. Steve Ogden, R-
Bryan, said members have been di-
vided on the use of the Rainy Day
Fund.
If were not going to use the
Rainy Day Fund when its raining,
we might as well get rid of it, Ogden
said.
Concealed Carry on Campus
Senators are likely to take up the
concealed carry on campus debate
this week after Wentworth lost sup-
port for his original bill, which left
the issue looking dead. Senators had
also proposed amendments to allow
public universities to opt out of the
requirement as well as an amend-
ment to leave the decision up to re-
gents, both of which were not ac-
cepted and resulted in lost votes.
Last week, Wentworth sur-
prised senators when he proposed
an amendment to allow concealed
carry on campus during debate for
the higher education bill by Sen. Ju-
dith Zaffirini, D-Laredo. Zaffirinis
bill would reduce reporting require-
ments for higher education institu-
tions and in turn translate into low-
er tuition fees.
That was the first bill I saw this
[amendment] would be eligible for,
Wentworth said. I have 20 votes to
suspend the vote for freestanding,
but you only need 16 votes for an
amendment.
Wentworth said the move was a
routine parliamentary tactic used
by members all the time.
Concealed carry on campus has
generated heated opinions through-
out the legislative session. Support-
ers said the measure would allow for
personal protection, while opposers
said it could make campuses more
dangerous.
Zaffirini accepted six prior
amendments to the higher edu-
cation bill but pulled it down af-
ter Wentworth brought his final
amendment forward.
The San Antonio Republican
may be left searching for another
option to pass concealed carry be-
cause Zaffirini said she is likely to
kill her bill.
If he is able to successfully pass
his amendment, I will have to kill
the [higher education] bill, Zaffirini
said. It is unfortunate that it might
happen because the [higher educa-
tion] bill could help save universities
millions of dollars. We will have to
see what he does.

high-value target and that for un-
disclosed reasons, officials believed
the hideout was bin Ladens.
Officials also said they believe
the death puts bin Ladens al-Qai-
da on a path of decline that will be
difficult to reverse, but there was
no word on the whereabouts of
bin Ladens second-in-command,
Ayman al-Zawahri.
The stunni ng end to t he
worlds most widely watched
manhunt came just months be-
fore the 10th anniversary of the
Sept. 11 attacks on the World
Trade Centers and Pentagon,
orchestrated by al-Qaida, that
killed nearly 3,000 people.
The attacks a decade ago
seemed to come out of no-
where, even though al-Qaida
had previously struck Ameri-
can targets overseas.
The Sept. 11th attacks set off a
chain of events that led the Unit-
ed States into wars in Afghani-
stan and then Iraq, and Americas
entire intelligence apparatus was
overhauled to counter the threat
of more terror attacks at home.
A senior administration offi-
cial said Obama gave the final or-
der for U.S. officials to go after
bin Laden on Friday. The official
added that a small team found its
quarry hiding in a large home in
an affluent suburb of Islamabad.
The raid occurred in the early
morning hours Sunday.
Administration officials offered
some details of the operation.
Based on statements given by
U.S. detainees, intelligence offi-
cials have known for years that bin
Laden trusted one al-Qaida couri-
er in particular, and they believed
he might be living with him in
hiding. In November, intelligence
officials found out where he was
living, a huge fortified compound
in an affluent suburb of Islam-
abad. It was surrounded by walls
as high as 18 feet high, topped
with barbed wire. There were two
security gates and no phone or In-
ternet running into the house.
Intelligence officials believed
the $1 million home was custom-
built to harbor a major terrorist.
CIA experts analyzed whether it
could be anyone else, but time and
again, they decided it was almost
certainly bin Laden.
Three adult males were also
killed in Sundays raid, including
one of bin Ladens sons, whom of-
ficials did not name. One of bin
Ladens sons, Hamza, is a senior
member of al-Qaida.
Obama spoke with Bush and
former President Bill Clinton on
Sunday night to inform them of
the developments.
The president struck a less
than boastful tone in his brief an-
nouncement, although he said
the death of bin Laden was the
most significant achievement to
date in our nations effort to de-
feat al-Qaida.
His death does not mark
the end of our effort. Theres no
doubt that al-Qaida will contin-
ue to pursue attacks against us.
We must and we will remain vig-
ilant, he added.
Moments after Obama spoke,
the State Department put U.S. em-
bassies on alert and warned of
the heightened possibility for an-
ti-American violence. In a world-
wide travel alert, the department
said there was an enhanced po-
