Under the law, individuals or organizations engaging in hazing could be subject to ines and charged with a criminal ofense. According to the law, a person can commit a hazing ofense not only by engaging in a hazing activity, but also by soliciting, directing, encouraging, aiding or attempting to aid another in hazing; by intentionally, knowingly or recklessly allowing hazing to occur; or by failing to report, in writing to the Dean of Students or another appropriate oicial of the institution, irst-hand knowledge that a hazing incident is planned or has occurred. The fact that a person consented to or acquiesced in a hazing activity is not a defense to prosecution for hazing under this law. In an efort to encourage reporting of hazing incidents, the law grants immunity from civil or criminal liability to any person who reports a speciic hazing event in good faith and without malice to the Dean of Students or other appropriate oicial of the institution and immunizes that person from participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a result of the report. Additionally, a doctor or other medical practitioner who treats a student who may have been subjected to hazing may make a good faith report of the suspected hazing activities to police or other law enforcement oicials and is immune from civil or other liability that might otherwise be imposed or incurred as a result of the report. The penalty for failure to report is a ine of up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both. Penalties for other hazing ofenses vary according to the severity of the injury which results and include ines from $500 to $10,000 and/or coninement for up to two years. HAZING DEFINED The law and the University deine hazing as any intentional, knowing or reckless act, occurring on or of the campus of an educational institution, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student, that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, ailiating with, holding oice in or maintaining membership in any organization whose members are or include students at an educational institution.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asserted in an opinion that Re- gent Wallace Hall is able to hire outside legal counsel to represent him in a suit against UT, should he choose to ile one, at the expense of the UT System. Hall could make the bizarre decision to ile suit against the University system he works for in order to ob- tain protected student information long denied him by the University. Hall could make the bizarre decision to file suit against the University system he works for in order to obtain protected stu- dent information long denied him by the University. The information will further illuminate a Kroll Investigation report that found top administrators, former UT President William Powers Jr. among them, guilty of admitting underqualified students into UT because of political or familial connections. In response to these wrongs, former UT System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa launched a preliminary investigation into UT’s admissions proceedings. he indings were conclusive enough to legitimize a full external investigation. Despite both the Kroll report and the need for an external investigation, the University denied Hall complete access to the iles, arguing that they would not be used for educational reasons and pri- vacy laws protect certain student records. And now Hall’s ability to get outside coun- sel has poised the issue to reach new levels of tension. At the heart of this tension is a debate over the scope of the powers of the regents and Hall’s intentions for the information. Hall claims that he is acting within the legitimate scope of his obligations as a re- gent to oversee the interests of the UT sys- tem and protect it against wrongdoing by wayward faculty. Many within the Legis- lature, however, claim that his actions go far beyond that scope in order to conduct a “character assassination” of top adminis- trators. These tensions culminated in the House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations filing ultimate- ly unsuccessful impeachment proceedings against Hall. he UT administration has been in the precarious position of balancing Hall and the Legislature because of the important relation- ships it maintains with both. he University granted Hall the documents that privacy laws do not protect and have some educational beneit, but UT system Chancellor William McRaven maintains that Hall’s request goes “well beyond any reasonable desire to be bet- ter informed as a regent.” But, Hall has not backed down and now has the ability to take this issue to court. he question remains whether Hall is act- ing, as former Gov. Rick Perry suggested, in a stalwart manner by seeking to illuminate past ethical violations and institutional inef- iciencies, or if he is acting destructively by carrying an overzealous witch hunt beyond the legitimate bounds of a Regent’s role. Early in Hall’s quest, the former seemed most likely. he investigation had the ambi- tious and necessary intent of calling out the unethical admissions practices carried out by very powerful people. But, his divisive Regent Wallace Hall listens during a meeting of the UT System Board of Regents on February 11. XINTONG GUO | Daily Texan ile photo [Hall] has shown he is incapable of sacriicing his own concerns, justi- ied though they may be, for the well- being of the University as a whole. action to satisfy that end and reluctance to stand down made his behavior profession- ally untenable. Hall’s investigation has inhibited working conditions among the Board of Regents, the UT administration, the UT Chancellor, the UT General Council, the Attorney General of Texas and the Texas Legislature. In so doing, he has shown he is incapable of sacriicing his own concerns, justiied though they may be, for the wellbeing of the University as a whole. Even if Hall is given the beneit of the doubt by assuming that he does act with the best intention for the University, he must submit his will to the consideration of others working within the system he is entrusted with defending: the other regents that ve- toed his requests, McRaven and numerous legislators. Not doing so precludes him from conducting his job professionally in the fu- ture. He perpetuates a hostile environment with each further action to get this informa- tion against the will of these other parties. For these reasons, I believe Hall has dam- aged too many professional relationships to continue his hunt. Now, a siege mentality hinders all involved, which will inhibit the University’s progress for years to come. Clark is an English senior from Lake Highlands.

Hall, a member of the UT System Board of Re- gents, threatened to sue the System for access to documents. admissions Hall first asked to see doc- uments Kroll Associates, Inc. used for the admis- sions process March 6 after investigation showed an former UT President Wil- liam Powers Jr. had a hand in the admissions process, but he did not break any formal rules. Hall requested the docu- ments to pursue his own independent investigation. Only two votes of approv- al were needed from the Board, and three members voted to approve Hall’s re- quest April 8. But Chancel- lor William McRaven re- fused to give Hall access to the Kroll documents, citing confidentiality rules. The Board then changed rules to require a majority vote to approve information re- quests from regents. Paxton advised the UT System Board of Regents in a letter June 15 to com- ply with Hall’s request and said the new rule was against state law. He also Ethan Oblak | Daily Texan ile photo Attorney General Ken Paxton recently approved UT System Regent Wallace Hall’s request to hire a lawyer to sue the UT System. Hall previously threatened to sue the system for access to admission documents. said because the Board was “obstructing [Hall’s] right under state law to ac- cess System records,” the UT System should pay for his lawyer. Since Hall is a member of the UT System, he would be suing the institution that employs him as well as using UT System funds to sue. Dan Sharphorn and Francie Frederick, general counsels to the Board of Regents, said in a letter to Paxton on Wednesday that Hall was not being denied any documents he had re- quested, except in the case of information the Fam- ily Educational Rights and your “Although Privacy Act protects. They also said paying for a law- yer was out of the question. let- ter indicates that Regent Hall’s request for outside counsel has already been approved, please under- stand that we do not have authority to pay for out- side counsel under these circumstances,” they wrote in a letter to Paxton on June 16. “For that reason, UT System cannot approve any vouchers submitted for that purpose.” Hall asked McRaven to consult the Board of Regents before destroy- ing or deleting any Kroll documents. McRaven told Hall he would stay com- mitted to providing all the information he legally was able to but would adhere with FERPA guidelines and protect student and family privacy. McRaven also said Hall had not looked at the available information and could not base an argu- ment for needing more to perform information his as a trustee. responsibilities “I am at a loss to under- stand how you can imply that we are impeding your fiduciary responsibilities — when you haven’t even reviewed the information I have offered,” McRaven wrote in an email to Hall on May 27. “Must you have student names in order to perform those duties? How do you know that un- til you look at everything we have to show you?” could not be Hall reached comment. for The UT System declined to comment.

On June 3, the Ransom Center announced that the estate of Bradlee had donat- ed his archive to the Ransom Center. hese documents reveal correspondence with some of the most important American igures of the 20th century — a note from for- mer First Lady Jackie Ken- nedy regarding the assassina- tion of her husband, a critical letter from former Cuban President Fidel Castro, a desk calendar that notes the date of a “Watergate meeting.” According to Stephen Miel- ke, the associate director for cataloguing services, the Ran- som Center is currently in the process of hiring archivists to catalog the documents. When the archivists are done — a process that Mielke believes will take approximately 18 months — the papers will be- come available in the Ransom Center’s Reading and Viewing BRADLEE page 8 6 Monday, June 22, 2015 COVER STORY Monday, June 22, 2015 7 GOING PRO Several Longhorn baseball players have chosen to leave Texas for the major leagues By Reanna Zuniga @reannasioux Texas head coach Augie Garrido, the NCAA’s winningest baseball coach, saw ive of his players go in the 2015 MLB drat this year. In his 19-year run with Texas, Gar- rido has had more than 100 players go on to play professional baseball and even more players who have been drafted yet did not join the MLB. Gar- rido was unavailable for comment. In the last ive years, Garrido has had 36 of his players drated. his year, ive players were drated, including seniors Parker French, Kirby Mellow and Brooks Marlow, who were drated to the Colorado Rockies, Arizona Diamondbacks and the Houston Astros, re- spectively. Mellow and Marlow were unavail- able for comment. Deciding to forgo their senior seasons at Tex- as, juniors C.J Hinojosa and Ben Johnson were drated in the 11th round — just three picks apart — to play for the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals, respectively. Although French, Hinojosa and Johnson said they are excited to start their professional ca- reers, their times at Texas have proved invalu- able in shaping their futures. Daulton Venglar | Daily Texan ile photo C.J Hinojosa Position: Shortstop Draft pick: 336 Team: San Francisco Giants Junior shortstop C.J Hinojosa, who was drafted in the 11th round as the 336th overall pick, was the sec- ond player to bid farewell to Texas as he now makes his way to the San Francisco Giants. Hinojosa decided to forgo his se- nior year at Texas to pursue his pro- fessional baseball career. In his last season at Texas, Hinojosa recorded the second most home runs for the team with 7 and tied for third in doubles with 9. In Arizona, Hinojosa, a 5-foot- 9-inch shortstop, said he accom- plished one of his dreams June 16 when he signed his contract with the Giants. Hinojosa said leaving Austin is bit- tersweet and the accomplishments he and his team made while playing together have everything to do with his success. “Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am. The past three years playing there was an awesome ex- perience,” Hinojosa said. “From be- ing the worst team in the Big 12 to finishing third in the nation my sec- ond year, to my third year and win- ning the Big 12 tournament — it was a blast.” Parker French Position: Pitcher Draft pick: 137 Team: Colorado Rockies French, who was the 137th over- all pick, was the irst Longhorn to be drated. While partaking in Texas barbe- cue with his family, French received a phone call that would indelibly ad- vance his baseball career. he Rockies had their mind set on drating him; all he had to do was agree. “hat’s where I wanted to go, I really felt like I it in with the organization and gelled with them well,” French said. “hey valued me as a player — not just a senior sign — and that they saw my leadership and my commitment to the team, which was important as well.” Over the past four years, French has started 54 games — the ith most in school history. Bill Schmidt, vice president of scouting for the Rockies, said he thinks Texas did a good job de- veloping French and he liked French’s character what he saw on and of the ield. “For me, it was his body of work there at Texas and what he accom- plished over the four years,” Schmidt said. “And he competed at diferent roles, I know at times he pitched out of a bullpen and then this year being the starter. Not only his ability but what he stood for as a person and a competi- tor, his presence was somebody that we wanted to add to our organization.” Ben Johnson Position: Outield Draft pick: 339 Team: Kansas City Royals Daulton Venglar | Daily Texan ile photo Johnson was taken three picks af- ter Hinojosa and will be joining the Kansas City Royals. He was the 339th overall pick, and, although he said he could have been drafted sooner, he said wanted to play for the Royals. “In the end, I wanted to be a Kan- sas City Royal the entire time, and, however I could get there, I wanted to make that happen,” Johnson said. “I feel like my strengths and my game really fit their system well, and, in the end, that’s the team that I wanted to go to, and it worked out.” Johnson started 56 games for Texas this past season. He led the team in stolen bases with 16 — a number that would rank him fifth in the Big 12. Johnson said he thinks his transition from the Longhorns to the Royals will go smoothly because of the similarities in their playing style. “hey love to run and love to steal bases,” Johnson said. “In the outield, they said they’re going to play me [at] centerield, and they kind of like me as a lead-of two guy, and that’s what I hit here. My game here could translate nicely over to them.” Aside from bettering his base- ball skills, Johnson said being under the pressure of playing for Texas has helped prepare him to join the MLB. “Every single game feels like Game 7 of the World Series playing here with Coach Garrido, and you just know that every game is a do-or-die situation, and I think that’ll help me going into my professional career,” Johnson said.

Slide the City, a national trav- eling waterslide company from Utah, started working with city oicials to come to Austin this summer. Water Conservation Division Manager Drema Crist Gross, said she is only aware of the company working with her and special events manager Frances Hargrove with Austin Center for Events. Despite the recent rain, Gross said drought restric- tions are still in place and will prevent the slide from coming. “Austin remains in Stage 2 drought restrictions,” Gross said. “While the decision to lit restrictions rests with the city manager, we do not anticipate any change this summer.” Emerson Hamilton, event director for Slide the City, said the group considered trucking in water from out of state and donating it to the water aquifer ater a dechlorination process took place. Under the drought restrictions, Hamilton said the slide fell under the fountain cat- egory, which is prohibited. According to the City of Austin’s water restriction page, fountains with spray of four inches or more are prohibited. Hamilton said the company is waiting for the City’s decision. “We’re deinitely wanting to play by the rules in Austin and we will wait it out,” Ham- ilton said. “We hope Austin gets enough water to remove those restrictions, but we’ll sit tight until things change.” Marian Ebhamen, commu- nication studies and corporate communications junior, said it is unfortunate not to have the slide as an Austin attraction. “It’s unfortunate because Austin is known for cool things like that,” Ebhamen said. “Some of the other things Austin is known for, like Hamilton Pool and Barton Springs, have been of limits because of the lood- ing. [he slide] is just adding to the trend of Austin attractions being taken of the list.” Roy Waley, vice chair of the Austin Sierra Club, said host- ing the slide, regardless of wa- ter conditions, would send the wrong message in a drought. “I think [the slide] sounds like it would be a lot of fun,” Waley said. “But I think it sends the wrong message to people when we are asking them to conserve water [and then] we have a wasteful water use.” Waley said the Sierra Club would consider it if more fo- cus was placed on reusing wa- ter for landscaping and teach- ing about water conservation. Business sophomore Parker Sewell said his sister went to the slide but did not ride it in Fort Worth because of technical problems. Sewell said the City should consider its options. “I think it would be a re- ally cool thing for our city to have,” Sewell said. “However if it does not work, then no, we shouldn’t bother with it.” Name: HOUSE; Width: 29p6; Depth: 5 in; Color: Black, HOUSE; Ad Number: - T E X A S S T U D E N T M E D I A The Daily Texan • Cactus Yearbook • Texas Student Television • Texas Travesty • KVRX 91.7 FM BECOME A MEMEBER OF THE BOARD OF OPERATING TRUSTEES We are now accepting applications from students enrolled in the Moody College of Communication he term of oice is: August 2015 - May 2016 DEADLINE TO APPLY: 12 PM - MONDAY, AUGUST 17th 2015 Download applications at: www.utexas.edu/tsm Questions?

We may nev- er again see a print newspaper play such a signiicant role in our nation’s political life.” Bradlee placed his archive in the Ransom Center in 2012, but the archive was restricted from access to the public. He wanted it to be donated to the Ransom Center upon his death, to accompany the works of journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who did the actual reporting of the Wa- tergate scandal. “We are delighted that the Ransom Center at he Uni- versity of Texas at Austin has acquired Ben Bradlee's exten- sive archive," Woodward and Bernstein said in a joint state- ment. "He was the most signif- icant newspaper editor of his time — a golden journalistic era spanning the second half of the 20th century, during which he set the highest standard of fearless and aggressive but fair inquiry; and re-invented the modern newspaper through the news and feature coverage of he Washington Post.” Bradlee served as the execu- tive editor of he Washington Post from 1969 to 1991. Dur- ing those years, he oversaw the publishing of the Penta- gon Papers, which is the name given to a secret government study chronicling its own in- volvement in Vietnam leading up to the Vietnam War. “Ben oten quoted Philip Graham, husband of Katha- rine Graham and a former publisher of the Post, saying Ben Bradlee showed us what a valuable role the press performs; ironically, on the very eve of the digital revolution which has profoundly altered how we get our news. —Stephen Enniss, director of the Ransom Center that, ‘Journalism is the irst rough drat of history,’” said Sally Quinn, Bradlee's wife, in the Ransom Center’s an- nouncement. "his is why he wanted his papers to go to the Ransom Center along with those of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Historians can now take these rough drats and enlarge the record for pos- terity. I am thrilled that they are now residing in the perfect place for that to happen."

By Reanna Zuniga @reannasioux Taking a game of hoops se- riously isn’t just for the profes- sionals, and Gregory Gymna- sium and the Rec Center ofer competitive pick-up games (and maybe the occasional trash talk) and also a wide range of people practicing their basketball skills. Although not being able to watch the efortless-looking al- ley-oops or the last ive ticking, pressure-illed seconds let on the shot clock is sad for basket- ball lovers everywhere, UT stu- dents can still feel the “Game 7 of the Finals” level of intensity in the Gregory gym. Both of the gyms ofer dif- ferent environments to the UT student body, but Gregory is by far the most popular of all the RecSports facilities, according to their website, and it seems to be for good reason. Gregory ofers itself as a piece of history on campus, spacious courts for numerous pick-up games and the social aspect of playing with a newly formed or established group, while the Rec is smaller, a little of the beaten path and less crowded gym. Jason Ikpatt, cell and molec- ular biology graduate student, recently moved to Austin for school and said he has gone to Gregory every single time he’s wanted to play basketball. “I actually got lost the irst time I went in there to play be- cause the layout was strange,” Ikpatt said. “But, once I found the courts, the games that were going on looked pretty intense. It was great competitive bas- ketball, and I felt like I got a good workout.” Ikpatt said one downside he’s seen is extreme crowds during events such as high school tournaments. Political communications junior John Stickler said he plays at both facilities but favors Gregory more because he likes to have people to play with. “Greg is nice because there are always pick-up games from about 2 p.m. until close,” Stickler said. “Moreover, most people would probably say that Daulton Venglar Daily Texan Staff the courts at Greg are margin- ally nicer.” Despite playing in Gregory more oten, Stickler said he sees advantages to both. “he Rec on the other hand is hardly ever crowded, and there is generally an open hoop if you just want to avoid the crowd and shoot around,” he said. Gregory is more centrally located to campus and ofers seven basketball courts, which is four more than the Rec Cen- ter has. For 46 years, the gym served as the home for the Texas basketball teams until the Frank Erwin Center opened up in 1977. Incoming freshman Savan- nah Smith irst got to explore campus during her orientation this past week. Smith, who said she lives and breathes basket- ball, checked out both facilities to scope out the courts and said Gregory had that “wow” factor. “here are just so many courts,” Smith said. “While I was there, I found a stray ball and shot a few, but I can’t wait to actually play there.” 10 DANIELLE LOPEZ, LIFE&ARTS EDITOR | @thedailytexan Monday, June 22, 2015 MOVIE REVIEW | INSIDE OUT ‘Inside Out’ shines with moving story, lively visuals 10 “Inside Out” is a charming ex- ploration of the main character Riley’s (Kaitlyn Dias) emotions on change and growing up. By Charles Liu @CharlieInDaHaus Ater a series of mediocre to decent ilms, Pixar makes a comeback with “Inside Out,” the studio’s most ambitious exploration of the human ex- perience yet. he movie is a nuanced vi- sual allegory for how people’s emotions afect them, serving up clever representations for the mind’s inner workings. “Inside Out” delivers a moving story and wonderful visuals that make it one of Pixar’s best ilms to date. he ilm’s main characters are ive personiications of the emotions of a young girl, Riley (Kaitlyn Dias). hey are Joy (Amy Poehler), Sad- ness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling). he emotions con- trol Riley from Headquar- ters, a command center in her brain. Since Riley’s birth, Joy has been her main emo- tion, oten casting Sadness aside because she fears seeing Riley miserable. So far, Riley’s life has been pretty good until her fam- ily moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. Riley and her emotions have to face new challenges: living in a crum- my old house, going to a new school and making new friends. are As the emotions try to work out their roles in this new environment, Joy and Sadness accidentally ejected out of Headquarters, leaving the remaining emo- tions in control. Fear, Anger and Disgust decide Riley’s best course of action is to run away from home and re- turn to Minnesota. Joy and Sadness must get back to Headquarters and stop her before it’s too late. Poehler and Smith an- chor most of the ilm with their dueling performances. Poehler imbues Joy with her trademark peppiness, and Smith molds Sadness into a somber and reserved out- sider. Black stands out as An- ger, portraying the charac- ter’s explosive outbursts in a sweet and adorable manner. Kaling’s bratty Disgust and Hader’s anxiety-ridden Fear play smaller, less-memorable roles, but they play a neces- sary part in rounding out the cast. “Inside Out” features an imaginative art style. Riley’s mind, which consists of candy- colored settings, contrasts with the muted, sometimes gloomy, world around her. he diferent parts of Riley’s mind are de- signed to relect their purposes — the dream-making center is a bustling ilm studio, Head- quarters looks like an air traic control tower and the train of thought is, of course, a train. Pixar communicates the importance of emotional well-being. As Riley falls into a depression, she no longer finds satisfaction in her hobbies, such as hockey and in spending time with family and her friends. This causes the parts of her brain devoted to her love for them to crumble. The more parts of her mind she loses, the less engaged she becomes. Joy believes suppressing Sadness must be the solution to Riley’s problems. But direc- tor Pete Docter and screen- writers Meg LeFauve and Josh Cooley impart that Riley should accept that she is sad. She spends much of the mov- ie pretending to be happy and leads her parents to believe she has accepted the move, preventing her from getting the emotional support she INSIDE OUT Running Time: 94 minutes MPAA Rating: PG Score: 9/10 really needs. If there is one thing au- diences should remember about “Inside Out,” it’s the lesson that all emotions play a part in keeping a person healthy. It shouldn’t be a surprise Courtesy of Walt Disney Pictures If there is one thing audiences should re- member about “Inside Out,” it’s the lesson that all emotions play a part in keeping a person healthy. that a movie about emo- tions is emotional. “Inside Out” boasts a stellar cast, impressive animation and a thoughtful meditation on love, loss and growing up.
