Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, so feel free to
direct me elsewhere...

I'm trying to quit Markdown and switch to org-mode completely. To do that,
I need to get my LaTeX template working with org-mode.

I had a LaTeX template I cobbled together and successfully used with Pandoc
for Markdown -> LaTeX -> PDF.

I tried to convert my template to work with org-mode, but I haven't had any
success. The .tex file it generates looks valid as far as I can tell, but
when I do org-export to LaTeX and open resulting PDF, it crashes Emacs.

Here's what I added to my .emacs file. Can anyone see what I've done wrong?
As may be apparent, I don't really know what I'm doing.
