I don't know Austin personally, but I saw him around campus a lot, being a science major and all. Apparently he was a smart cookie, but that really goes without saying-- he stands out in my memory because whenever I saw him he always exuded happiness through his smile-- genuine happiness, I mean, not the corny fake kind that you see plastered on kids here. I got the impression that he was of the rare breed of people that harbored pure happiness-- happiness that even even a hellish place like UChicago couldn't extinguish.
