Wire Editor: Elyana Barrera 3 www.dailytexanonline.com WORLD&NATION Monday, November 22, 2010 THE DAILY TEXAN Top leaders trying to get Pope allows male prostitute condom use ban repealed by next year

By Anne Gearan The Associated Press SANTA CRUZ, Bolivia — The Pentagon’s top leaders warned Sunday that if Congress fails to repeal the ban on gays serving openly in the military, the courts may order changes that military leaders consider too fast or poor- ly thought-out. The Pentagon is trying to make it easier for the Senate to consider lifting the ban in the current post- election session. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Sunday he will release a study of the effects of repeal on Nov. 30, a day earlier than planned. That could allow the Sen- ate Armed Services Committee to hold hearings on the ban the same week. The report on the impact of lifting the ban is meant as a guide for Congress as it considers what the Pentagon hopes will be a gradual and carefully calibrated change. The Washington Post has reported that the study concludes the military can lift the ban with only min- imal and isolated incidents of risk to the current war efforts. “The timing and the legislative approach and so on, that is completely up to the Congress. All I know is if this law is going to change, it’s better to be changed by legislation rather than have it struck down by the courts,” Gates said. Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said later that Gates pushed his staff to deliver the report a day early in order “to en- sure members of the Armed Ser- Pier Paolo Cito | Associated Press vices Committee are able to read Pope Benedict XVI blesses the faithful during a consistory inside St. Peter’s Basilica, at the Vatican on Saturday.

Louisiana State University professor Bradley E. Schaefer garnered national attention after a contro- versial video of him berating students for their political beliefs went viral online. In the video, Schaefer seats students by their opinions about global warming, then proceeds to chas- tise those who disagree with climate change theories and legislation. However, Schaefer defends himself, claiming the video is an edited version of his lecture and was taken out of context, according to The Chron- icle of Higher Education. According to Schaefer, the class was an intellectual exercise where he played devil’s advocate to both global warming supporters and skeptics, and the video was intentionally edited to only include his arguments with skeptics. The full 40-minute video supports Schaefer’s claims. The video was recorded, edited and distributed by Campus Reform, a conservative organization with the goal of providing conservative students the tools to “revolutionize the struggle against leftist bias and abuse on college campuses.” Its real goal, apparent- ly, is to use whatever means necessary to promote its agenda and tarnish as many reputations as possible. Campus Reform’s complete lack of any moral or ethical compass is evident in its handling of this situ- ation. First, a Campus Reform member was secretly recording the professor’s class. While secret record- ings are technically legal in several states, including Louisiana, the practice is nonetheless dishonest. If professors are to be scrutinized for classroom content, at least grant them the courtesy of knowing they are being recorded. What is more, the student who recorded the event was not even enrolled in Schaefer’s course. Appar- ently nobody actually familiar with the professor and his teaching is offended enough to denounce him.

Though it is not an official statistic, Fussell led the Long- horns in time spent on the ground. On both the defensive and offensive sides of the ball, Fussell could be seen hitting the deck for loose balls, taking charges and getting fouled. Her hustle paid dividends giving her four steals, one block and eight rebounds in addition to her 20 points. “I just felt like they’re going to come at me, so I’m going to come at them,” Fussell said. “That’s my mindset when I play. I’ve got to be fearless.” The final score may be a bit misleading considering how close the game was in the much of the first half. Texas trailed for the first time this season 11-9 at one point, but after regaining the Frank Franklin II | Associated Press lead, they never looked back.

By Priscilla Totiyapungprasert

thletes and nonathletes alike took to Cedar Creek Saturday and Sunday for turkey legs, beer and an obstacle course that consisted of fire and barbed wire. With runners both in and out of costume climbing over junkyard cars, scrambling across wood- en planks and climbing over walls, the race course was not for theA faint of heart. Then again, they don’t call it the Warrior Dash for nothing. For the Central Texas leg of the 2010 Warrior Dash tour, people had the opportunity to compete in 17 heats throughout the day, with up to 650 people per heat, for the glory of being a “warrior.” Although there’s no cash prize, the top three fastest men and women from each day win an engraved, viking- style helmet to show off their pride. Brian Wade, 29, won overall Saturday with a time of 18 minutes, 53 seconds. “I think it was the most dude event I’ve ever been to,” said participant Haz- iel Williams, a Plan II sophomore. “There were definitely more guys than girls. There were also a bunch of people dressed up like ‘Braveheart’ wearing blue face paint, homemade kilts and loin cloths. People were not that focused on winning, but they would get really into it and jump into army barrel rolls.”
