Viewpoint Diluting the student vote

The U.S. Department of Justice sent Texas’ new political district maps back to the drawing board Monday. Responding to a suit filed by Texas At- torney General Greg Abbott, which sought a declaration that the new lines drawn during this past session do not violate the Voting Rights Act, the Justice Department signaled it will fight it in court. The department’s move to block the new maps should be viewed as a hopeful and welcome one for every Texan who values fair elections and as an especially important for the minority groups the new lines seek to silence. A provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 requires that any changes to voting procedures in Texas must be examined by either the U.S. Depart- ment of Justice or the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. before they can take effect. Texas is one of nine states, most of which are in the south, to which this “preclearance” provision applies. In order to conform to the law, new maps must not “have the effect of denying or abridging the right John Massingill | Daily Texan Staff to vote on account of race or color.” New district lines are generally drawn every 10 years to reflect changes in population distribution. The 10-year interval mirrors the frequency of the decennial census, from which population data is drawn to tweak the maps. Because of its large population increase from 2000 through 2010, Texas gained four seats in the U.S House of Representatives. With the Republican Party firmly in control of the Texas government, Avoid immigration, Perry many Democratic commentators were concerned that the new districts would be drawn to benefit Republicans in future elections.

Twining said that a break- through in U.S. relations with In- dia five years ago caught the attention of China and other Asian nations because it helped break down barriers to the economic growth that is now skyrocketing in India. Twining predicts India will become even more economically rel- evant in the coming years and be- lieves that development will de- pend on U.S. international relations in the region. “There is a great demand for our leadership in Asia,” Twining said. “Countries are watching our domestic debates about debt and spending with the greatest inter- ests and concern because the infra- structure we and our friends have built begins to wither away if we aren’t here. Countries are trying to remind us that we need to be there, and trying to facilitate that in our domestic debate.” Twining said China looks like an outlier in economic policy as its neighbors see that economic growth alone isn’t appealing without policy changes that allow growth, and many countries shy away from mirroring China’s oppressive state-run model. “Making people richer, a little better off, doesn’t resolve issues,” Twining said. “How do you move beyond the business of man- Business continues from PAGE 6 leads the nation in the percentage of workers that earn the minimum wage.

The 15-member program staff, which is one of only a handful of entirely city-funded business programs in the country, has partnered with UT through a contract to offer classes and doc- umentation for loans to small businesses, which often fare better than larger businesses in times of reces- sion, said Blake Smith, financial analyst for SBDP. “I’m sure we’re making a significant change in the business climate. In the past year we’ve worked with 354 customers for one-on-one coaching [for small business owners],” Smith said. “Our role is an information portal — [we answer] how do I do it, and where do I go.” Local business owners Michael Heyne and Dominik Stein of Verts Kebap started their restaurant on the Drag to appeal to the active fast food culture and small business climate. It is a very employer-friendly city, with plenty of opportunities for employers to get to know the people they work with, Heyne said. When asked if they came to Texas because of its laws, the answer from Heyne was a firm “no.” “We could have gone to other states. We had the option to go to New Orleans. But in Austin there’s just a really active food culture,” he said. “We came here just because we wanted to make tasty food where you didn’t feel like you couldn’t eat for a month.” XPOSURE 9 E HE AILY EXAN Wednesday, September 21, 2011 | T D T | Andrew Torrey, Photo Editor

Editor’s Note: As cyclists on the 2011 LIVESTRONG Texas 4000 team for cancer, Daily Texan staff members Shannon Kintner and Danielle Villasana biked this summer from Austin to Anchorage, Alaska, alongside 43 other UT students who all raised $1 per mile for the 4,500-mile journey.

To convey the events of our summer in words is almost as challenging as waking up before dawn to bike an average of 75 miles nearly every day for 10 weeks. After two years of preparation, the 2011 LIVESTRONG Texas 4000 for Cancer Team, a nonprofit organization consisting of UT students who raise money for cancer research, embarked on their journey from Austin to Alas- ka through the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains on June 4, 2011. As members of the Rockies team, we braved sweltering heat, freezing cold temperatures, gargantuan mosquitoes, impenetra- ble headwinds and miles-long mountain climbs. However, our 4,500-mile journey would not be the same without these challenges that inspired us to show those who are affected by cancer that it’s possible to keep fighting the seemingly impossible even when you want to give up. After collectively being supported by generous hosts, teammates and strangers who we’ll never meet again, we crossed the finish line into Anchorage. As a goal and destination that had existed only in our imagination for so long, reaching Anchorage in 70 days was our way to honor those we thought of, rode and fought for every day both before and during the ride. Texas 4000 is now recruiting for the 2013 team and an information session will be held today at 7 p.m. in MEZ 1.12. Applications can be found at www.texas4000.org and are due this Friday, September 23 at midnight. Text and photos by Danielle Villasana & Shannon Kintner

Above right: Bijal Mehta, left, and Elizabeth Peters wade in glacier water in the Yukon Territory, Canada.

Senior All-American Rachael Adams led the team with 11 kills and a .471 hitting percentage, while adding three blocks to the team’s defensive cause as well. Big 12 freshman of the week Khat Bell had a excellent match outside with 10 kills, and her opposite side opposite hitter Bailey Webster contributed nine kills and a .692 hitting percentage. In the first set Texas broke through with a 5-0 run, to take a 19-12 lead against the Horn Frogs. TCU then cut the lead down to four, but then the Longhorns salted the set away with another 5-0 run finished off by a pair of blocks and a kill by freshman Madelyn Hutson. The two teams were entangled in a 10 all tie in the second set, until Texas went on a 15-5 run to close out the set. Early on in the third set the game was tight, but a 6-0 run by the Longhorns put them up 22-15, and later a kill by Adams put the game away 25-19.
