On June 15, 20, only two days after the results of the presidential election were announced in favor of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, millions of Iranians suspecting election fraud, took to the streets in peaceful marches in major cities across Iran, chanting “where is our vote?” What they received in response to this nonviolent action were bullets, batons and imprisonment, not to mention the torture and rape that some faced inside the prisons. The days became bloodier and more embittered for Iranians as the summer went on. To get a detailed recap of the violence and suffocation that still haunts Iran, you may visit en.wikipedia.org On September 23rd, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at the United Nations as the president of Iran. Iranians everywhere said loud and clear to the world, that not only does Ahmadinejad not represent the nation of Iran, but also that we will not be silenced until he and other responsible authorities are brought to justice for their crimes. Several organizations on campus including, Austin for Iran and Iranians for Peace and Justice organized this flash mob on the day of his speech at the UN.

The University of Texas at Austin is one of the five largest universities in the country, and currently nearly fifty thousand students attend the university, which is home to the U.T. Longhorns. Most of the students live in the U. T. campus area, which encompasses an area from Interstate 35, which runs along the eastern perimeter, to Lamar Boulevard, which circles the western edge of the campus, including numerous fraternity and sorority houses.
The campus also extends to Martin Luther King to the south and the campus itself is just a mile or so north of the State Capitol Building and the Capitol complex. The northern edge is roughly around 27th Street, and among these fours borders are some of the most interesting sights in the Austin area.
There are many nice apartment buildings, condominium projects and single as well as multiple family dwellings in the campus area, with prices affordable enough for new students and nice enough for faculty, grad students and the more affluent. There are many “commune-style” homes in the area, which require the residents to share the chores, bills, meals and other expenditures and are very affordable due to the shared financial input of the inhabitants, but don’t offer quite as much privacy as a traditional apartment complex.
However, these residences do offer more of a home-like atmosphere, which appeals to the newer students. Many of the commune-style homes, apartments, condos, sororities and fraternities are situated within a block or two of “the Drag”, which is how the students refer to Guadalupe Street, the major thoroughfare through the campus area. North of the University of Texas is the neighborhood of Hyde Park which some students can on occasion find a house to rent.
But since Hyde Park has become a more desirable neighborhood over the last 10 years rents can be expensive. If students go a little farther north they find the North Loop neighborhood where rents are a little more affordable.
The east side of “the drag” skirts the western edge of campus proper, which includes the U.T. Tower, student union, various education halls, and the West Mall, where campus-related political gatherings are held outdoors. Many students can be found reading, walking to and from class, or eating on the steps and benches which are strategically located in the west campus area, or at many of the food kiosks and stands, which feature ethnic fast foods of all kinds, especially many oriental and Indian foods.
Students of all nationalities attend U.T., and all of them can find regional cuisine in the area, even on the campus itself, with the Texas Union offering a wide selection of meals, drinks and snacks. The other side of “the drag” encircles an area which is full of shopping boutiques, churches, student centers, restaurants, bookstores and one of the largest assortments of street vendors in the Austin area.
The street vendors sell a little bit of everything, but seem to specialize in silver jewelry and Indian clothing, as well as hats, shirts, other clothing items, music, posters and memorabilia. These items are usually quite inexpensive, and a vast selection of styles, colors, and regional favorites can be found in the numerous stalls full of merchandise which line the west side of Guadalupe Street. There are also ice cream shops, pinball parlors, and many clubs, some of which offer live music.
Each year the around 7000 students enter The University of Texas at Austin. Parents and students attend a BBQ at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center as part of their Freshmen Orientation program. The Texas Exes welcome these freshmen and their families to the great University of Texas!
