OvERviEws gaLLERY Twitter antics Gov. Rick Perry has done it again. After shutting out the media during his re-election campaign last year, Perry is now blocking members of the media on Twitter. Dallas Morning News reporter Tom Benning was sur- prised to find that Perry blocked him on Twitter, he said in a blog entry Sunday. But he was not the only one. Fort Worth Star-Telegram columnist Bud Kennedy and Dallas-Fort Worth’s KLRD reporter Scott Braddock discovered that they, too, were blocked by the governor. With more than 37,000 followers and a feed open to the public, @GovernorPerry tweets about, for example, his sup- port for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker: “Gov. Scott Walker continuing to be principled and disciplined. Join our effort to support this fine patriot.” With few tweets about Texas, we’re not sure why he has chosen to block specific members of the media. Last week Perry quipped, “Man, that First Amendment, it’s a beautiful thing.” This is a bold statement by a man who is so careful about using his right to free speech, as evidenced by his refusal to debate his opponents and now his childish social networking antics.

Guns4Groceries The gun debate is firing up as many state leaders push for legislation permitting concealed carry of firearms on college campuses. Meanwhile, the Greater Austin Crime Commis- sion is raising awareness about crime prevention with the Guns4Groceries program. Guns4Groceries allows gun owners to trade their guns and assault rifles for $100 and $200, respectively, in gift cards for groceries with no questions asked. Austin Police Department processed and destroyed the guns. This helped eliminate the possibility that the guns will wind up in the Healthier than thou wrong hands.

By Lauren Giudice Daily Texan Staff

Stuart W. Stedman, who gradu- ated from UT in 1979, pledged a gift of $1 million to help students in two departments of the College of Liberal Arts. Half of his donation will create a 40 Acres Scholarship for Plan II, and the rest of the gift will generate the Stuart W. Stedman Excellence Fund in History. The University an- nounced the donation Monday. “I transferred into UT my soph- omore year.
