VIEWPOINT GALLERY Protest beyond the Cactus Cafe Most people are aware of layoffs and tuition increases to fund targeted raises at UT, among other things, but they either feel they can’t do much about it or feel it doesn’t affect them directly. But when informal classes — which serve thousands of residents outside of UT — get axed, and when the Cactus Cafe — which has names like Lyle Lovett and words like “internationally renowned” attached to it by adoring fans — has its doors closed, every- body wants a pitchfork and a turn at the microphone. Before those rambunctious and rightfully pissed populists rise up in arms against this editorial, let’s be clear about what is not being said. This editorial is not in support of clos- ing down the Cactus Cafe. The decision to close the Cactus Cafe under the not-so-clever guise of “trimming fat from the budget” is not culturally or financially responsible. If the Tex- as Union Board and the UT administration is concerned about the Cafe being constantly in the red, they should adopt plans to make it more relevant to students and ultimately profit- able. The cafe in its current state essentially represents an unappreciated investment — full of potential to be self-sustaining, but generally neglected in attention. You don’t just close down your promising investments.

Thursday, February 4, 2010 LIFE&ARTS 11 PHOTOS: Iconic images construct ‘major oral history’

From page 12 era,” said Jonathan Roquemore, head of brand and external re- lations for Magnum New York. “They would distribute special distribution prints to newspapers and magazines for publishing. The backs contain caption information, inventory keeping and photogra- pher notes. It’s a DNA of paths that the photos would travel.” But with the advent of the digital era and proliferation of photogra- phy, Magnum began to face prob- lems. According to The New York Times, Magnum will redesign itself to be more Web-based, while the center — still assessing the acquisi- tion — plans on scanning all of the images. The exact cost of the pur- chase was not immediately avail- able, but a source familiar with the transaction said the center has in- sured the collection for more than $100 million. No dates have been set for when the collection will be available, but numerous exhibitions and photog- rapher lectures have been planned. “I foresee many years of photog- raphers coming here and giving lec- tures,” Lubell said. “I hope to cre- ate a major oral history on this ar- chive with the photographers and the people who made this archive in the years to come.” Cornell Capa | Magnum Photos Former President John F. Kennedy reaches his hands into a crowd while campaigning for the presidency in California in 1960.
