Since Villarreal’s decision, Wilkey said he has been learning the duties of the president and getting updat- ed on Villarreal’s work with diferent committees over the summer. According to Wilkey, as the vice president, he had little interaction with projects in their beginning stages. He said his job was to review the end product, but now, as president, he is working more directly with GSA members. “What is really happen- ing is I’m listening to my executive members talk about what they have been working with [Villarreal] on over the summer,” Wilkey said. Jennifer Jendrzey, direc- tor of the communications committee, said she and other executive members of GSA have been meeting with Wilkey and are conident in his abilities as president.

Phone calls and emails to Villarreal were not returned. … Richards has hired some of the best students in advertis- ing, as well as making mon- etary contributions.” Advertising professor John Murphy said the de- partment has worked with Richards than 30 years. for more “he school for advertising and public relations at UT i- nally adopting Mr. Richards’ name is just a public display of the relationship that has existed for many years,” Mur- phy said. “Being able to asso- ciate with Richards openly is a huge feather in our cap as a department. We, here at UT, share in Mr. Richards’ idea of striving for perfection in our work.” he department has been working toward this tran- sition several years, Hart said. for “We are lattered and hon- ored to share names with Stan Richards; no one is more deserving,” Hart said. “Stan is an advertising legend. We are very thankful for everything he has done for the depart- ment and will continue to do for the school.” According to Hart, schools tend to have more regard and are better at graduate job placement than departments are. “he future of the school for advertising and public re- lations is in the youthful and energetic hands of the excep- tional new faculty and the new director of the school, Patricia Stout,” Hart said. he Moody College will hold an event celebrating the change on Sept. 23 in the Belo Center for New Media.

Journalism professor Bill Minutaglio will receive the research noniction award for his book “Dallas 1963,” along with his co-author Ste- ven L. Davis, a curator at the Wittlif Collections at Texas State University. English pro- fessor Wayne Rebhorn will receive the translation award for Giovanni Boccaccio’s “he Decameron.” Minutaglio’s “Dallas 1963” is a recollection of the time period leading up to Presi- dent John F. Kennedy’s assas- sination in Dallas. Minutaglio said he and Davis focused on the narration of three Afri- can-Americans who lived in the “City of Hate,” as Dallas was famously known dur- ing that time. According to the narrations Minutaglio, reveal the side of Dallas con- cealed by the uproar of criti- cism that followed the Ken- nedy assassination. “We put in three people who were particularly very heroic,” Minutaglio said. “Very few people had known about them, but they worked very hard and at great odds to heal the city.” According to Minutaglio, the book was received by some critics and readers as a cautionary tale about free- dom of speech, since ten- sions ran high during that period of time for Dallas. “hat is what our book is about,” Minutaglio said. “he danger of letting a handful of people steal the microphone and speak for everybody.” Rebhorn’s translation of “he Decameron” was origi- nally written in Italian by Boc- caccio between 1348 and 1352. According to Rebhorn, the RESEARCH When people think Boccaccio they think dirty stories. It is much more complicated than that. It is about the im- portance of pleasure in human life. It is a text about how stories help us live in the face of adversity. —Wayne Rebhorn, English professor book consists of several tales from diferent characters who lived in Florence, Italy, during the bubonic plague. Rebhorn said he published his transla- tion in 2013 on the 700th an- niversary of Boccaccio’s birth. “I was hoping that people would appreciate what a smart and interesting writer Boccac- cio was,” Rebhorn said. they Rebhorn said the impor- tance of “he Decameron” lies in the diferent lessons taught by the characters in the book. “When people think Boc- caccio, think dirty stories,” Rebhorn said. “It is much more complicated than that. It is about the im- portance of pleasure in hu- man life. It is a text about how stories help us live in the face of adversity.” Rebhorn said he hopes the contemporary style of the text makes it more accessible for readers today. “I use some slang, but not much,” Rebhorn said. “But I still did not want to be dated.” Minutaglio and Rebhorn will accept their awards and $1,000 in prize money in Beverly Hills, California, on Nov. 11.

Study: Aspirin lowers recurrence of cancer for overweight women By Eunice Ali @thedailytexan A study found non-steroi- dal anti-inlammatory drugs, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, helped lower hormone-relat- ed breast cancer recurrence in overweight women by half. he study — led by Lin- da deGrafenried, associ- ate professor of nutritional sciences, and her research team — has been underway for two years and was pub- lished in the journal Cancer Research in August. “We are really excited by the results of this study,” de- Grafenried said. “his is def- initely a collaborative efort.” According to deGrafen- ried, she was irst interested in understanding why cer- tain patients don’t do well on hormone therapy. During her investigation, she found that obese breast cancer pa- tients tended to have a high- er risk of death. Laura Bowers, who worked on this project for her disser- tation, initiated the study to understand the mechanism by which obesity is making cancers more aggressive. “his is a massive ac- complishment,” Bowers said. “It’ll be a meaningful contribution.” Bowers said she found a correlation between low dos- ages of non-steroidal anti- inlammatory drugs daily and lower recurrence rates among patients. She also found that more inlammation in the cells led to more growth and migration of cancer cells. When looking at the se- rum – the liquid part of the blood – of breast cancer pa- tients, Bowers saw the obese women had more inlam- mation in their cells. hese women, mostly postmeno- pausal, were then given low dosages of non-steroidal anti-inlammatory drugs daily and showed a 52 per- cent decline in recurrence and a delay of 28 months in recurrence time, according to Bowers. In this study, deGrafenried also worked with other re- searchers in both Austin and San Antonio. Bowers led the cell culture in the laboratory. Ilane Máximo conducted the retrospective analysis of the breast cancer patients under the supervision of Andrew Brenner, medical oncologist and assistant professor at UT Health Science Center-San Antonio, and Murali Beeram, medical oncologist and re- searcher at he START Cen- ter for Cancer Care. DeGrafenried said she re- quested funding to conduct another study next summer to determine whether adding as- pirin to normal drug prescrip- tions would improve a patient’s treatment outcome. She also plans to collaborate with the future Dell Medical School. A spokeswoman for the American Association for Cancer Research declined requests for comment. Free Food & Fun! MLK & Brazos look for the daily texan tent 4 hours before kickoff RILEY BRANDS, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF / @TexanEditorial Wednesday, September 3, 2014 4 EDITORIAL GALLERY School ruling demonstrates need for real legislative action Travis County District Court Judge John Dietz ruled Thursday that the cur- rent Texas public school finance system is unconstitutional under the Texas Consti- tution, calling the state’s recapture system a de facto statewide property tax. Through recapture, if a district raises revenue in excess of its basic allotment, it must send the surplus to the state for redistribution to poorer districts. The case was intro- duced in 2011 after Texas lawmakers cut state public education funding by roughly $5 billion. It’s not the judge’s first time ruling on the state’s public education system. In 2004, Dietz ruled that the constitutionally set tax cap on local school maintenance of $1.50 per $100 of assessed value was also an unconstitutional statewide tax. But an additional piece of both of Dietz’s rulings alleges that the state doesn’t fulfill its constitutional obligation to “make suit- able provision for the support and mainte- nance of an efficient system of public free schools.” In both cases, Dietz sides with the plaintiffs, calling the system both in- adequate and inefficient. The ruling by the Democratic judge will almost certainly be contested by the state and taken up by the all-Republican Texas Supreme Court. Though it would not be unprecedented for the court to uphold the unconstitutionality of recapture, the court will likely dismiss the provision concern- ing failure to meet constitutional obliga- tions. Dietz’s ruling is almost identical to his statements a decade ago. However, his cur- rent opinion goes a step further by alleg- ing the current finance system has created inequality in education along wealth dis- parity lines. Since 2004, the gap between funding in property-rich versus property- poor districts has grown from $965 to al- most $1,600 per student. Though 60 percent of Austin Indepen- dent School District students are consid- ered low-income, the district is designated as property-rich, and recapture will send $175 million back to the state this year. Sending such considerable funds back to the state while a majority of the student population is low-income seems contra- dictory. But if AISD is considered a prop- erty-rich district, we can only imagine the problems property-poor districts are fac- ing. The state has shifted its duty of fund- ing free public education across the state to local taxes that should be going to local issues not under state jurisdiction. In light of this ruling, it is imperative that the leg- islature take up education finance reform this next session and restore in its budget the state’s contribution to its constitution- ally mandated school funding. COLUMN Illustration by Cody Bubenik | Daily Texan Staff As new school year begins, students should get involved By Marisa Charpentier Guest Columnist I can’t help but agree with author William Deresiewicz when he claimed in a July article in he New Republic: “Don’t send your kid to the Ivy Leagues.” And as we stuf our back- packs with books from the Co-Op and alter our alarm clocks in preparation for a new school year, I also can’t help but feel Dere- siewicz’s ideas are relevant, even 1,960 miles away from Harvard University. As an incoming freshman, my irst week on campus was illed with the same interro- gation process — name? hometown? and, of course, what’s your major? Even as irst-year students, we are already shoving ourselves into intellectual boxes. While it’s certainly ex- citing to inally get the chance to study some- thing we are passionate about, I’m worried that in the process we will become career- chasing robots — people who have forgotten the original purpose of higher education. Deresiewicz argues that four years of un- dergraduate study dedicated to career prepa- ration is a waste; students shouldn’t expect a “return” in the form of jobs or money but should instead learn to think. When I graduate from college, I certainly don’t want to be the type of person who is un- able to think for myself or understand con- cepts outside my area of expertise. College is supposed to be the place where we broaden our horizons and gain a well-rounded educa- tion. We learn who we are outside the com- fort of our own homes and learn not simply how to become good doctors or engineers, but how to become good citizens and con- tributors to society. he UT Mission and Core Purpose instills motivation for students to achieve just that. If we are a part of a university that aims to “transform lives for the beneit of society,” we should take it upon ourselves to take advan- tage of the diverse courses UT has to ofer. We should take the opportunity to explore books and diferent ways of thought instead of fo- cusing simply on getting the top scores and adding accomplishments to our resumes just for the sake of adding them to our resumes. he job obsession is oten parent-based. Parents may force their children to choose a major they think will allow their children to attain a speciic career. With that kind of pressure, students will not feel encouraged to reach outside their own majors, more than they are required to, to explore the diverse knowledge that college can provide. Human development and family sciences freshman Madison Ermenio said she inds such eforts beneicial. “Interacting with students in other majors can help you learn about other ields and how they impact society,” Ermenio said. “You are going to encounter a lot of diferent situa- tions in the real world.” he truth is, careers today are always changing. he most valuable employees are the ones who can react to such changes. Re- search shows that fewer than two in ive man- agers found college graduates to be job-ready in their own ield. While chasing a single career, we can’t allow ourselves to lose vital skills such as creativity and critical thinking. In the end, perhaps the most important force in establishing a well-rounded educa- tion is student initiative. Students can feed a curious mind and explore ields outside their own major by reaching out to others and ex- ploring their interests. Charpentier is a Plan II and journalism freshman from Dallas. Illustration by Kayla Jones | Daily Texan Staff COLUMN Liberal professors on campus can hone conservatives’ beliefs By Clay Olsen Senior Columnist Fellow Longhorns: You go to a liberal university. Even if you are a freshman, this probably is not news to you. And if you are a freshman and have been to a liberal arts class already, you have probably sat through a lecture that makes this very apparent. Get used to it because nothing will change dur- ing your time here. According to the Texas Ethics Commis- sion, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis had received $17,088 from 179 contributions made by various faculty and staf members at the University as of Aug. 20. During the same time frame, the Re- publican candidate, Greg Abbott, received $3,664 from three faculty and staf members at the University. It also must be pointed out that two UT System regents gave a combined $175,000 to the Abbott campaign. However, these two individuals will not be the ones at the front of the classroom lecturing, so for the sake of this article, we can disregard their contributions. I do not mean to sound incredibly frus- trated with the overall political landscape on the 40 Acres. Most of the professors here hold a liberal mindset, but silencing their voices would be even more ofensive to me. You see, I am a proponent of exchanging of ideas. Debate is how you sharpen argu- ments, and questioning your own principles is how you strengthen your beliefs, whether they be the same or new ones. One thing that worries me is what I have witnessed the past three years on this campus: accepting the liberal mindset is considered the most WRITE FOR US acceptable thing to do. However, what concerns me even more is that this has also become the easy route to take. Some students will disregard the work of digging deep into issues and thoughts and instead take the views of those teaching them and regurgitate it. With no questioning of these received beliefs, they are being led down a path blind and without understand- ing. his does not help nurture their minds or establish a beneicial system of thinking. What I do appreciate about my experi- ence in liberal arts classes taught by liberal professors is that they attacked almost ev- erything I believed in, and whatever they missed, I was trained to re-evaluate myself. What the professors want you to do is to establish critical thinking skills. hey want you to examine the facts, hear the arguments and ask, “Why?” As a freshman on the other side of the political spectrum, I had a tough time taking the punches. However, I was thinking about things in ways I had never thought before, and new perspectives were being shown to me. here was nothing to be angry about. hey simply told me their thoughts. I took their opinions for what they were worth, and I believe I am better for it. So do not get angry or super-defensive about there being a majority of liberal pro- fessors on campus. Just understand that they may hold diferent views from you, and that is okay. In reality, it is the students who hold similar beliefs to the professors that have more work to do in challenging their own thoughts. No matter who is teaching you, learn to think critically. Olsen is a inance senior from Argyle.

Not all that long ago, Bryant Westbrook was one of the most feared cornerbacks to ever put on a Texas helmet. His hit against Notre Dame’s Randy Kinder in 1996 on an option prompted legendary an- nouncer Keith Jackson to say, “he important thing right now is to make sure Randy Kinder can ind a place to lay down.” And when he knocked Virginia Tech fullback Brian Edmonds unconscious in the 1995 Sugar Bowl, ABC an- nouncer Mark Jones said, “Somebody answer the phone because there’s a bell ringing, and it’s Bryant Westbrook.” Westbrook helped bring Texas football back in the late ’90s, garnering a second-team All-American his senior year in addition to irst-team selec- tions in both the last year of the Southwest Conference and the irst year of the Big 12. “[My class] came in and laid down the foundation for Texas getting back on the map,” Westbrook said. His outstanding college career led the Detroit Lions to pick him ith overall in the 1997 NFL Drat. Unfortunately, injuries derailed his career and held him back from reaching his potential. Westbrook was selected to the 1997 All-Rookie team, and, in 2000, he led the NFL in inter- ceptions before a torn Achilles tendon ended his season. hree years later, he tore his other Achilles tendon and was out of the NFL by age 28. It’s been 17 years since Westbrook made his pres- ence felt in Austin. He now coaches the Saguaro High School football team in Scottsdale, Arizona. for “We have one of the top kids in the country in [ESPN No. 36 WR] Christian Kirk,” Westbrook said. “In one-on- one drills, I’ll go with him, and I’m good for ive yards. My mind says you can do it, but my body can’t.” When he let the NFL in 2004, Westbrook teamed up with trainer Mike Stojkovic to open a gym called Texas Acceleration & Sports Training in Houston. But it wasn’t until an ex- the Lions from teammate helped land him a coaching gig in Arizona that Westbrook began to really enjoy his life ater football. “I fulilled my life ater foot- ball by coaching high school football,” Westbrook said. “It was my obligation to give back to kids with my knowledge in the game of football. It’s almost as fun as playing.” Westbrook is currently the secondary coach for Saguaro, but his ventures don’t end there. He joined fellow Saguaro coach and former NFL kicker Mike Vanderjagt to help run Slapiton, a custom artwork company for athletes. It’s been a while since West- brook delivered a bone-jarring hit, but the fact that he is some- times a forgotten star doesn’t bother him. “I’m coaching enjoying football, golf twice a week and having to explain to the play- ers how good I really was,” Westbrook said. “I always say, ‘hank God for Google.’” Robert Patton | Daily Texan ile photo Bryant Westbrook, who started for Texas as a hard-hitting cornerback from 1993-1996, is currently coaching football at Saguaro High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. Hicks, Harris stepping up in ith season By Drew Lieberman @DrewLieberman In January 2010, the Long- horns received commitments from two of the nation’s top defensive prospects — now- senior Jordan linebacker Hicks and former Texas de- fensive end Jackson Jefcoat — helping Texas secure a class that was supposed to bring championships. But instead, the next four seasons brought disappoint- ing results leading to even- tual changes in the program. Now, Texas’ few remaining 2010 signees, entering their ith season with the Long- horns, hope to use 2014 to alter the perception of their class and their legacies. “All of us ith-year guys, we want to inish this right,” senior wide receiver John Harris said. “[When] we came in here, it was a year they went to the National Championship a year before. And to come in the next year and go 5-7 was a little bit tough. here might have been a little complacency.” Harris is one of Texas’ ith- year players taking advantage of the opportunity to play for a new coaching regime. Har- ris made several big plays for the Longhorns in the Mack Brown era, but, ater missing the last 10 games of 2011 with injuries, he struggled with con- sistent reps. In the irst game under new head coach Charlie Strong, Harris hauled in seven receptions, marking a career- night ater only catching nine passes in his irst three seasons. “He’s done what he’s needed to do to prove to the coaching staf and to the team that he’s a great player and that he de- serves to be out there,” Hicks said. “He’s proving that to the world right now.” Hicks is also looking to put together a healthy senior sea- son ater missing 19 games in SENIORS page 9 Horns taking team approach to account for Ash’s absence By Stefan Scraield @StefanScraield Mere hours ater learn- ing their starting quarterback won’t play against BYU this weekend, head coach Charlie Strong and his players faced the media, and one thing was clear: Sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes will not be the only person relied upon to ill the void let by junior quar- terbacks David Ash’s absence. Swoopes will take the reins at quarterback for Texas on Saturday, but the entire team has stressed the importance of each player stepping up to make up for the loss. “Tyrone [Swoopes] is the starter, but you have to look at it as it’s not all about just one position,” Strong said. “You get the defense to play well and play like we played the other night, and you have two good running backs, the of- fensive line protects well and then cover it up — you can function. It’s not like it’s the end of the world.” While teams would oten focus on hyping up the back- up quarterback and preparing him for the added pressure that comes with starting, the Longhorns appear to be di- verting attention away from Swoopes and stressing the importance of each position group adding a little bit more to the plays. “I think that we have a lot of leaders on every posi- tion,” senior defensive tack- le Desmond Jackson said. “I feel like, at the University of Texas, you have to prac- tice like you’re a starter be- cause you never know when your number is going to get SWOOPES page 9 Jonathan Garza | Daily Texan Staff Senior wide receiver Jaxon Shipley has seen a dip in his numbers without junior quarterback David Ash over the past few seasons. Texas ofense superior with Ash under center By Peter Sblendorio @petersblendorio For the second straight season, Texas will be with- out junior quarterback Da- vid Ash for a considerable amount of time because of concussion symptoms. While the absence of an experienced starter under center would certainly im- pede any team, the loss of Ash could prove to be even more the Longhorns. signiicant for Since he took over as the full-time starter as a sopho- more, Texas has faired consid- erably better with Ash in the lineup. In Ash’s 16 starts since the beginning of the 2012 sea- son, the Longhorns have gone 12-4 while averaging 36.6 points per game. Over that same stretch, Texas has scored just 27 points per game while struggling to a 6-5 record without Ash. though, came he biggest disparity last season, in terms of total ofense. In Ash’s three starts in 2013, Texas averaged a whopping 537.3 yards per game, com- pared to just 370.1 in its 10 games without him. To be fair, the Longhorns racked up a school-record 715 yards against a far inferior New Mexico State team in one of Ash’s game, but they still registered at least 450 yards of total ofense in each of the other two contests he started. One major reason for this discrepancy in ofensive out- put stems from Ash’s ability to limit mistakes and make the ASH page 9 Sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes will start Saturday against BYU in place of junior quarterback David Ash, who is out with concussion symptoms.

In addition, fellow linebacker Demarco Cobbs missed 15 games, including all of 2013 to a knee injury. Both Hicks and Cobbs recorded the first interceptions of their careers in their return this past Saturday. With injuries already af- fecting Texas this season, the three fifth-year seniors will try to lead the Long- horns past adversity. It’s the last chance to redeem a class currently remem- bered for missed opportu- nities and losses. “We are rooming together, so we’ve talked about this irst game all ofseason,” Hicks said. ”It’s been over a year since he’s played in a game, and I haven’t played since last year, so we’ve worked together. We’ve poured our hearts out into this game, coming back and making sure when we do come back that we were going to be in ”We haven’t gone to a re- ally big BCS bowl game since we’ve been here,” Harris said. “So I think just to inish this year right and try to help Texas get back to a 10-win re- cord or 11-win record would be great for us to leave out of here. We just want to help get back Texas where it needs to be, and we want to start that with Coach Strong.” 9 Wide receiver John Harris is one of several ifth-year seniors making an impact for the Longhorns this season.

But it is Ash’s leadership that will be most diicult to replicate. With Ash and senior center Dominic Espinosa out, it will be up to Texas’ other veteran players to lead the ofense. ASH continues from page 8 most of his pass attempts. His eiciency rating of 153.3 was good for ith in the Big 12 in 2012, and the 156.3 mark he posted in three games last year would have been good for third best in the confer- ence had he maintained it over the course of a full sea- son. Additionally, Ash has posted an impressive 2.7-to-1 touchdown to interception ra- tio since becoming the starter in 2012. On the other hand, backup quarterback Case McCoy struggled to replicate these numbers when pressed into duty last season. In 13 games with 10 starts in 2013, Mc- Coy threw 11 touchdown “When you have two great leaders go down, some of the guys have to step up even a little bit more,” senior run- ning back Malcolm Brown said. “It’s nothing completely diferent that we are going to do, but [we] just got to be a little bit more vocal. hose guys that are stepping in for them — as a team — we have to keep those guys up.” Texas will need to con- tinue to support Swoopes and avoid putting him, or freshman quarterback Jer- rod Heard, in a situation where they are forced to play beyond their means against the Cougars. “[Swoopes and Heard] — they have got a long week to get ready,” senior cornerback Quandre Diggs said. “I know they are going to give their all, and we just have to rally around those guys and be ready to go.” passes against 13 intercep- tions, while posting a 109.3 eiciency rating. While the Texas ofense as a whole takes a step down without Ash, nobody seems to experience a bigger drop in numbers than senior wide receiver Jaxon Shipley. In Ash’s 16 starts since the be- ginning of 2012, Shipley has hauled in six touchdown re- ceptions and enjoyed seven games with at least six re- ceptions. In 11 games with- out Ash, though, Shipley has recorded just two touch- downs while in just three games with six or more grabs. turning Sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes gets the start in Ash’s place this week ater completing 5-of-13 pass attempts for 26 yards while rushing for 79 yards and a score in limited play- ing time last year. Texas has had mixed results with quarterbacks making their irst career starts in recent seasons; McCoy passed for 168 yards and two touch- downs in a win against Iowa State in 2011, while Ash struggled later that season against Oklahoma State, passing for 139 yards and two interceptions. he Longhorns hope Swoopes can utilize his con- siderable size and speed to make an immediate impact ater being thrust into the starting lineup, but, as past history suggests, the ofense won’t be the same without Ash under center.

Gansky and a group of graduate students founded he Mad Stork Cinema in 2012 to bring ilms to UT that would not otherwise reach audiences in Austin. “If you’re not in Los An- geles, New York or Rotter- dam or taking classes at the University of Colorado at Boulder, chances are you are never even going to know these ilms exist, much less get a chance to see them,” Gansky said. Experimental cinema is non-narrative and de- signed to be provocative, angering or unsettling. he ilms are produced by one or two people for noncommer- cial purposes, rather than in a Hollywood studio, accord- ing to Gansky. Rachel Stuckey, a pro- grammer for he Mad Stork Cinema and studio art grad- uate student, said a wide range of students come to the screenings. “It’s hard to say that you could go to one screening and ‘know’ about experi- mental cinema, especially because you could go to one and it would really not be your thing, but you could go to another one and really enjoy it,” Stuckey said. “It’s always going to be a pretty unique challenging experience.” Gansky the ilm said screenings are meant to get talk- people excited and ing about art they normally wouldn’t be exposed to. and “We needed to create a prolonged environment in which we would not only screen these ilms but also a rich discussion create CINEMA page 9 Rachel Zein | Daily Texan Staff Resurrected Games owner Troy Arn specializes in buying and selling movies, video games and playing cards.

Wheth- er it’s silently debating strategies or arguing over card rulings, the students are playing to win. hese weekly tourna- ments are hosted by Resur- rected Games, a shop in Do- bie Mall that specializes in buying, selling and trading movies, video games and playing cards. Resurrected Games own- er Troy Arn runs the store along with his iancé and four children, selling a vast selection of items includ- ing memorabilia, key chains and electronics. “I started from nothing,” Arn said. “I had a garage sale and used the money to get more stuf and resell it, and I eventually had enough stuf for a lea market stand. I just kept buying and resell- ing until I had enough stuf to open a game store. It just took a lot of time and pa- tience.” Arn customers have plenty of options to choose from. “We have and ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!,’ ‘Magic’ ‘Pokémon.’ We have action igures, graphic novels and CDs. We have all kinds of stuf,” Arn said. “You could trade a video game here and walk out with movies, or trade in cards and walk out with a new Playstation said 4.

Studio art junior Alexan- der Chavira is a fan of “Yu- Gi-Oh!” and enjoys both the skill involved with the game and the opportunity to bond with other players. “I’ve made a lot of friends in the game,” Chavira said. “It’s a gateway for more social interaction.

Biology ju- nior Shrineil Patel said that games like “Yu-Gi-Oh!” are great because they are cost- eicient. “Sometimes you use your brain — sometimes you don’t,” Patel said. “It’s just fun.

I moved here from San An- tonio and completely under- stood people’s ixation with food; I grew up the grand- daughter of a baker and the daughter of a Mexican tor- tilla factory owner. I lived in the same city for 21 years and was surrounded by the same culture; therefore, it was an understatement to say I needed to broaden my horizons. Although I cannot ind the same Mexican delicacies prepared in my mother’s kitchen, I admit I have stum- bled across a few great inds. I still do not consider myself even an intermediate expert on the Austin food scene af- ter a year of branching out to various geographical regions of the city. No matter how many places you go, your list of new restaurants to try in this town seemingly cannot shrink. One piece of advice I can pass along to any new Austi- nite is to keep an open mind. Make sure to break away from the campus area in order to truly explore the city’s melting pot of dishes and never say no to some- thing new before giving it a chance. Austin has an abundance to ofer in the food department, from American, Vegetarian, Mexican, Italian, Korean, Chinese and Ethiopian – you are bound to ind something to your liking. Take advantage of the op- portunity to learn from your classmates that come from every end of the globe and embrace their backgrounds. Host pot lucks with a group of friends and appreciate where the other comes from while hanging out and do- ing something everyone en- joys—eating. Whether you and your friends call a dif- ferent city, state, country or continent “home,” there is always something to learn and introduce each other to. he music in Austin is as bountiful as the food ofered across the city and is an- other Austin scene in which to indulge. Attend one of the many music festivals Austin has to ofer or walk into a local bar for good entertain- ment. Even if you do not pur- chase a SXSW pass, you can still attend a number of great live shows at no cost. Live entertainment is never in short supply no matter the day of the week or time of year. here is a performance for every person’s music genre preferences, so no fan is ever left out. his city radiates with talent and delicious eats to compli- ment it; it’s a matter of taking the voyage to discover them.

Check out these beers from four diferent Austin-based breweries. Live Oak HefeWeizen Brewed by: Live Oak Brewing Company Style: Hefeweizen Where I tried it: hunderbird Cafe & Tap Room Description: he Live Oak HefeWeizen is a refreshing take on this notoriously wheaty style of beer. It is hazy and yellow- orange in color, and I detect notes of banana in both the scent and taste. Considering its thick and somewhat creamy con- sistency, it’s surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink. It isn’t bitter at all and has a slightly sweet inish. Enjoy it in the Texas summer heat or with a heavy meal. Flavor reminds me of: Banana, wheat bread ABV: 5.20% (512) Pecan Porter Brewed by: (512) Brewing Company Style: American Porter Where I tried it: Hopields on Guadalupe Street Description: Dark brown in color, slightly sweet and creamy in consistency, the (512) Pecan Porter is almost like the des- sert version of beer. Its slightly bitter lavor reminds me of cofee and chocolate, with hints of pecan and molasses. Like several other rich dark beers, this porter is best suited for cold winter months. It is smooth to drink, but keep its richness in mind because it will ill you up fast! Flavor reminds me of: Cofee, chocolate ABV: 6.80% he One hey Call Zoe Brewed by: Hops and Grain Brewery Style: American Pale Lager Where I tried it: Hopields on Guadalupe Street Description: With its pleasant, golden amber color and bub- bly, soda-like carbonation, this lager is the perfect summer brew. It has a citrusy and slightly wheaty scent. he taste has notes of orange, grapefruit and lemon zest with a bitter and earthy inish. Crisp and hoppy, Zoe is best served ice cold by the pool in the summer sun. Try it if you think you’d like a more complex Shiner Ruby Redbird. Flavor reminds me of: Shiner Ruby Redbird, citrus zest ABV: 5.20% Black Rhino Brewed by: Adelbert’s Brewery Style: Belgian Dark Ale Where I tried it: hunderbird Cafe & Tap Room Description: his ale pours a very dark brown with a scent of cofee and raisins and a heavy, almost milky consistency. Like the (512) Pecan Porter, it’s pretty illing and lends itself to winter months. Packing a dark, roasted and powerful punch with a little bitterness at the inish, Adelbert’s Black Rhino certainly lives up to its name. Try it if you like strong lavors like black cofee and licorice.

Longhorn Life has some ideas that can get you into festivals for little to no cost, as long as you are willing to volunteer. ACL As a volunteer, you will work with a team during the three days of the Austin City Limits music festival. Your shifts are either during the day or in the evening, and you will receive a festival pass for the day on which you work. All volunteers are required to complete an online orien- tation before they are certi- ied to volunteer. To sign up, visit www.acl- festival.com/2014-volunteer and follow the step-by-step instructions. here is a $10 application-processing fee, but this is far less than a $90 single-day pass or $225 three-day pass. “I volunteered for ACL last year and I’m doing it again this year, “ said advertising senior Natalia Naranjo. “It’s a great opportunity to meet and work with some cool people and get to see the fes- tival for practically nothing. here are a bunch of difer- ent jobs available, so make sure to do some research be- fore you choose which one to sign up for.” SXSW South by Southwest is one of the most well known festi- vals held in Austin and coin- cides with spring break. Music badges have a walk- up rate of $895, whereas vol- unteers earn a free badge, depending on their type of volunteerism. he ive shifts you’ll be re- quired to work total 60-79 volunteer hours. Former volunteers have enjoyed acts such as Coldplay, Broken Bells, Lady Gaga, Imagine Dragons and 50 Cent, just to name a few. You can ind the volunteer database online in early No- vember at volunteer.sxsw. com/register. If you cannot secure a vol- unteering position with your favorite festival, browse uni- versity pages shortly before the festival begins. You might ind someone who decides to go to OU weekend last minute or someone who just needs to get rid of his or her pass. From the staf at Longhorn Life, good hunting. Photo by Sam Ortega , Daily Texan Staff Photographer ACL attracts nearly 75,000 people each day, and the number of attendees continues to grow, along with ticket prices. Lana Baumgartner Staff Writer keeping especially when Austin has a gift for it weird, it comes to food. he latest trend, as we all know, is food trucks. But what is Austin’s forte within this trend? Weird food trucks. Austin is at it again, provid- ing an eclectic and adventur- ous array of menus to satisfy any taste bud. Here’s a list of some of Austin’s strangest trucks, but take it from us, this list is only the beginning of what Austin has to ofer. he Peached Tortilla Peached Tortilla has been called a lavor combina- tion of Asian and Mexican/ Southern. For example, they serve Chinese BBQ tacos and both Bahn Mi and BBQ Bris- ket sliders. However, the real kicker are their sauces: there are multiple, each tasty in its own way. Be sure to try at least one of them. Chi’Lantro Like Peached, Chi’Lantro is another food truck featuring Korean-Mexican fusion. Yelp reviewers rave about their kimchi fries. And the best part when it comes to Long- horns? hey frequent the UT Austin area for dinner time, so check out their website the next time you’re think- ing about a Korean burger or kimchi quesadillas. Bananarchy While it may seem odd, fro- zen bananas on a stick are actually quite the treat, and that’s exactly what Banan- archy has to ofer. After you choose your size (full banana Local Truck Fare 29th & Guad Area he Vegan Yacht, Greek Original Gyros, Lard Have Mercy, Fresh Baked, Frozen Rickshaw Rancho Rio Eatery Blenders & Bowls, Cow Tipping Creamery, Fat Tony’s Brooklyn House of Munch, Firely Pies, Ham It Up TX, he Mighty Cone, Short Bus Subs, hai of the Town, Velveteen Cofee House, Wonder Wale, Wurst Tex Co-op Food Court Delicious hai, Elixir Cofee, Gourdough’s, he Gypsy Kit, Kebab Time, Mister FruitCup, Taqeria Jefe’s or half) you choose how to dress it with a dip and top- pings. Really, it’s the time to get creative; there’s some- thing for everyone. here are even vegan-friendly options, with oferings like peanut butter, vegan chocolate and Oreo. he Vegan Yacht It is not often that a Frito pie gets turned into a burrito, and then that burrito goes on to receive an award for being a great burrito. On top of all that, how many award- winning Frito-pie burritos are also vegan? Probably just one. Check out he Vegan Yacht at Spider House, an- other campus-convenient spot, for this burrito and oth- er vegan snacks. Gourdough’s If you have never looked at Gourdough’s menu, it might be hard to understand how some donuts could make it onto the list, but Gour- dough’s is a master of the unique and adventurous. here’s the PB&J for the kid in all of us, a bacon donut with maple syrup to cater to the latest trend, plenty of fruit and chocolate options, and of course, donut holes. You might consider sharing with someone since the ad- vertising doesn’t lie -- these really are “Big.Fat.Donuts.” Holy Cacao One word: chocolate. What started as a simple hot choc- olate trailer bloomed into cake balls, loats,” drinking chocolate” and more choco- late goodies and beverages. Its menu is perfect for des- sert at any time of the year (they even have frozen hot chocolate) or simply for a cup of cofee or a latte. You can ind them in the South Austin Trailer Park & Eatery with some other Austin fa- vorites. OMG! Cheesecakery the from Steering away trends of cake ball pop- sicles and cupcakes, OMG! Cheesecakery founder Dan chose to focus on cheese- cake. OMG! Cheesecakery is the place to get a “personal sized and portable cheese- cake.” He makes cheesechake in all diferent lavors, ranging from “avocado” to “nutella” to “blueberry lavender,” but their website advertises they can make just about any- thing! It might just depend on how adventurous you’re willing to be.

Have you ever wanted to create your own? We caught up with Warren Spector, the director of the Denius Sams Gaming Acad- emy, to ind out more about this exciting new program, ofered right here at the Uni- versity. Longhorn Life: What is the Denius-Sams Gaming Acad- emy? What makes it special? Warren Spector: DSGA is a new, innovative game de- velopment program at the University of Texas at Austin. Unlike other game develop- ment programs out there (and there are 384 of them in the U.S. alone), we’re not fo- cusing on the nuts and bolts of game making. We only admit 20 people who already know how to make games. We want to teach our 20 stellar game creators the ins-and-outs of game development leader- ship in an intensive, nine- month course of study. he focus on leadership alone sets us apart, but there are two additional things that set us apart. First, our faculty is entirely made up of current indus- try professionals. You’d be amazed how many programs don’t require industry expe- rience. Having said that, the unique feature I expect our students appreciate the most is no tuition payment and, in fact, we pay them a $10,000 stipend to cover expenses while they’re in the program! LL: What is the program curriculum? Why did you choose curriculum model? WS: he curriculum is pretty simple: 90 minutes of this class time, four days a week, followed by four hours of lab time, Monday through hursday, and a solid eight hours in the lab on Friday. We want to give people a conceptual grounding in leadership and manage- ment through the class and then give them a lab space to put all those concepts into practice. he lab is really the heart of the program—we want it to feel like a real job but with one critical difer- ence—the power to fail! Failures are iring ofenses in the game-development already programs ofer them the op- portunity to work on a team that big. We’re really excited to see what amazing games come out of this approach. LL: What should the ideal candidate know when they apply for the pro- gram? WS: he simple answer is that candidates should al- ready have signiicant game development experience. his is not the place to learn how to make games. You need to come to us as the master of your discipline— coding, design or art, mostly “ “ We’re not preparing students for jobs; we’re preparing students for the jobs they want. -Warren Spector Director, DSGA world, whereas failures are learning opportunities in the academic world. Obviously, we hope our stu- dents internalize the lessons learned in class and execute against them exceptionally well in lab, but we’ll be able to stop, assess the failure case, learn from it and move on when they fall short. he coolest thing about the lab is that all 20 students will work on a single game of sig- niicant scope throughout their two semesters at UT Austin. Very, very few game development programs at other institutions give stu- dents that long to make their games, and even fewer —and having been part of a game development team. We’re just not going to teach the basics. Also, be ready for a full-time commitment. his isn’t just a class or two you take before meeting friends for dinner. Candidates have to be ready to approach this as if it were their irst job. It’s a taste of what the real world is like. LL: What can students do now to start developing their game development portfo- lio? WS: he most important thing is to get on a game team or two (or ten) before applying—no experience, no admission. here are three Photo courtesy of Moody College of Communication Warren Spector, B.A. ’80, returned to the Forty Acres to direct the Denius Sams Gaming Academy. he program opened its doors for the irst time this fall. ways to get into the DSGA —you can come to us with a game development degree from another institution; you can come with real industry experience; or you can be so good at what you do we have no choice but to admit you. Each case requires game de- velopment experience. Pe- riod. End of story. LL: What is the gaming scene like in Austin and/or Texas? WS: Austin is one of the hot- beds of game development in the world, not just in Texas or the U.S. It’s been a center of excellence and a develop- ment hub since the ’80s. here are dozens of game development in town, some with hundreds of employees and some with, well, one! If you want to make games, there are few better places to do it than in Austin. studios hat’s one of the reasons I’m so excited about the DSGA— there’s a real opportunity for our students to leave the pro- gram and get jobs right here in Austin. LL: How will the Denius- Sams Gaming Program bet- ter prepare students to enter today’s job market? WS: Well, no matter how hot game development is right now—and it is hot, with lots of jobs available—there are no guarantees! here’s ierce competition for every open slot. Candidates have to bring something unique to the table. People with industry experience have something to talk about in interviews; recent college grads have far less—there are just too many people getting game degrees these days for a sheepskin to matter much. We feel like the unique fo- cus of the DSGA gives our graduates something unique to talk about, something that sets them apart. And it’s not just a good story we’re giving them—they’re leaving us with a set of lead- ership skills and an under- standing of how teams really work that will allow them to contribute efectively, even in an entry-level position. We think potential employ- ers will see and appreciate that. All of our students are good enough to get jobs without any help from us— they’re that good—but what we can do is provide a career accelerator. Becoming a game develop- ment leader normally takes 5-10 years. We think we can reduce that timeline. In a sense, we’re not preparing students for jobs; we’re pre- paring students for the jobs they want.
