The Austin redistricting commission passed the final map late Monday night, out- lining 10 city council member districts, including a student opportunity district com- prised of 45 percent students. Ryan Rafols, a government sophomore and member of the commission, said the district will ensure students’ interests are represented in Austin City Council. “Any representative of that district will have to pander to students,” Rafols said. “They have to represent student interests because students could easily sway the vote.” Some commissioners were opposed to drawing a stu- dent opportunity district be- cause students, unlike racial minority groups, are not a protected class, Rafols said. “[Many commissioners] wanted to cut UT into different pieces and cut downtown into little pods, and students would have no voice,” Rafols said. Rafols said the councilp- erson elected in 2014 for the district will have significant influence. “Because the central core of Austin is such a seat of economic power, students really do have much more say than they’ve ever had in Austin,” Rafols said. Rafols said tax rates are one of students’ most important interests, and he hopes the person elected to represent the district beginning in 2014 will focus on this. “Students will come out and vote for lower tax rates,” Rafols said. “Every year, tax rates go up on commercial properties, and then they pass it onto the students and renters.” The commissioners will sign the map Monday. The next redistricting period, which will be done by 10 dif- ferent commissioners, will take place in 2020. The UT chapter of the Young Conservatives of Texas, or YCT, will host a controversial mock immi- gration “sting” on campus Wednesday, prompting re- sponses from students and University officials. Titled “Catch an Ille- gal Immigrant,” YCT will offer students $25 gift cards if they are able to catch individuals walking around campus wearing “illegal immigrant” labels on their clothing. Faculty Council voted unanimously Monday to endorse President William Powers Jr.’s statement that the YCT event is out of line with University values. In a statement, Powers said he takes offense to the event, but the University is in no position to ban freedom of speech. “Our students, faculty and the entire University work hard both to promote diversity and engage in a respectful exchange of ideas,” Powers said. “This Wednesday event does not reflect that approach or commitment.” The organization has not announced any plans to alter the Wednesday event. “The purpose of this event is to spark a campus-wide discussion about the issue of illegal immigration and how it affects our everyday lives,” YCT chairman Loren- zo Garcia said in a state- ment on the organization’s The Faculty Council ap- proved an update to the core curriculum course list for the 2014-2016 undergradu- ate catalog and discussed the Fisher v. Texas case and land development plans at its meeting Monday. All undergraduate stu- dents will continue to take 42 hours of required core cur- riculum, with specific course changes within select areas of study. The list of proposed changes to the course list will be applied in the 2014-2016 Undergraduate Catalog. The core curriculum courses are re-evaluated every two years. Brent Iverson, dean of the School of Undergradu- ate Studies, said the core curriculum is updated and maintained largely as a re- sult of efforts made by the Faculty Council. “In a restricted envi- ronment, like we are now, one can imagine that there might be a natural tendency to pull away from the core curriculum,” Iverson said. “Moving into the future, I am anticipating that I will require your support once again to make sure that these advances continue to move forward.” President William Pow- ers Jr. spoke at the meeting about the Fisher v. Texas case argued in front of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals last week. Powers said he sup- ported the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the principles determined in Grutter v. Bollinger, a 2003 There’s an age-old cliche in football: next man up. This phrase rings truest at the professional level, where the competition is fierce and the margin for error is zero — especially at the quarter- back position. With this in mind, it makes little sense that Texas legend Vince Young, a two-time Pro Bowler and NFL Rookie of the Year, remains unsigned in early November while journeyman veterans and unproven rookies take vi- tal snaps in place of injured starting quarterbacks. Over the last two years, Young has failed to make the rosters of the Green Bay Packers and the Buffalo Bills. After they cut Young, each team experienced a rash of injuries at the quar- terback position that season, but none of their replace- ments have played well. Yet Young is stil not in the NFL. With starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers currently out with a fractured collarbone, the Packers have started Seneca Wallace and Scott Tolzien in the past three games — all losses. In two games, Wallace totaled a 64.4 quarterback rating, passing for one interception and no touchdowns. Tolzien, who has seen significant time in two games, struggled too, throwing one touchdown to five interceptions. In his career, Wallace has thrown 31 touchdowns and 19 interceptions, passed for 4,947 yards, has an 80.8 quar- terback rating and a 6-16 re- cord. Tolzien did not play an NFL snap before this season. Young, on the other hand, has thrown 46 touch- downs and 51 interceptions, amassed 8,964 passing yards and has a 74.4 quarter- back rating. In addition, he has rushed for 1,459 yards and 12 touchdowns. While Young’s touchdown-inter- ception ratio and rating are worse than Wallace’s, his mobility adds a dynamic his counterpart lacks. More importantly, his 31-19 career The daily emails recount- ing incidents involving strong odors of alcohol and small baggies containing a “green leafy substance” are the product of the UTPD’s continued crime prevention efforts. Campus Watch, a ser- vice established in 1999 by UTPD, provides summaries of selected information about recent crimes reported. UTPD Assistant Chief Terry McMahan said the idea for Campus Watch was sug- gested under the Clery Act, requiring universities to dis- close criminal activity hap- pening on campus. “The intent was to in- form the campus commu- nity about UTPD activity on campus each day,” McMahan said. “It makes the campus more aware.” The author of the Campus Elisabeth DillonDaily Texan StaffFormer Texas quarterback Vince Young has proven himself in the NFL. But, over the last two years, he has failed to make the roster of two professional teams. 1Check out the changes to the Core CurriculumPAGE 3Gettysburg Address still relevant at 150 years old.

STAT GUY page 7By Anthony Green@anthonygrreenBy Madlin Mekelburg@madlinbmekBy Anthony Green@anthonygrreenBy Amanda Voeller@amandaevoellerBy David LefflerDaily Texan Columnist @leffler_davidFinalized map includesstudent-centric districtCITY Watch updates, Officer Jim- my Moore, said he feels the daily posts are more effec- tive as a means of spreading information than the annual reports, which are federally mandated. “Most universities are required and bound by the Clery Act to report all their violent and significant crimes, but that’s on an an- nual basis,” Moore said. “It’s really good information, but it’s from the previous year and doesn’t give you much [information] in real time.” Moore said if the Crime Prevention Unit notices trends of certain crimes oc- curring in certain locations, UTPD will also increase the number of officers present within the area. The unit also conducts 250 to 300 presen- tations on campus safety every semester. “Campus Watch is just one of the many tools we use to reach the public,” Moore said. Moore said humor was added to the Campus Watch rhetoric shortly after its cre- ation to increase readership. More than 15,900 people are subscribed to Campus Watch emails, and Moore said the large user base means balancing humor and sensitivity can be a nerve- racking experience. “You don’t want to offend someone,” Moore said. “You never know who’s out there reading it, so you don’t know what will and won’t offend … knowing your audience is really tough because we have such a broad range. Still, Moore said, humor is an important tool for keep- ing the reports compelling. “You still try to keep it just witty, funny, where you can keep people involved and keep people wanting to read it,” Moore said. “That way, you can also get the second part of it, which is keep- ing people informed about what’s going on and keeping them safe.” Since its inception, nine different officers have been in charge of writing Campus Watch. Moore took over for Officer Darrell Halstead in July of this year. Layne Brewster, who works alongside Moore in the Crime Prevention Unit, said Moore has always been an effortlessly funny person. “Jimmy seriously has a sense of humor,” said Brew- ster, who is also Moore’s roommate. “He’s a lot quick- er with the wit … I’d have to sit at it for a while and think, ‘How can I use this?’” Moore, who is being promoted from patrol to sergeant in February, has deep ties with the department. “I’ve been an officer for about 12 years now,” Moore said. “My father was a re- cruiting sergeant here and retired after 35 years. I’ve been around the department since I was in diapers.” Brewster said she will miss Moore’s approach to Campus Watch. “Jimmy is becoming ser- geant in February so I’ll have a new person here,” Brewster said. “I told my captains they have to be funny.” Criminal trespassing, criminal mischief and the most popular crime on cam- pus, theft, have all been re- duced on campus since 2000, according to UTPD’s Annual Security Report. According to the crime logs, controlled substance abuse and liquor law viola- tions have more than dou- bled since 2000, while public intoxication has quadrupled. The department was un- able to speculate on the role Campus Watch plays in crime reduction. “We like to think what were doing is making a dif- ference, and we’re hoping that it is, but there’s no true way to test and measure that to say it’s because of [Campus Watch],” Moore said. “We are fully aware that the more information we are able to get out to the public and the more knowledgeable they are about crimes, opportunity and how to prevent them the better prepared they are and the less likely they are to leave something alone to have it stolen.” Moore said the best thing the unit can do to combat this spike is keep the public informed on substance abuse trends and ways to avoid them. “It all goes back to knowl- edge,” Moore said. “What are the trends we’re seeing? What are the new substances and drugs people are using and the best way to combat it and what to look for to avoid it? … The knowledge you have can help you to avoid that situation and know exactly what the effects something are and maybe you won’t try it.” 2Tension Headaches?

You never know who’s out there reading it, so you don’t know what will and won’t offend. —Jimmy Moore, UTPD officer Exactly 150 years after President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Ad- dress at a Pennsylvania cem- etery, his message of standing up for the country’s values still apply, according to UT professors and students. Barry Brummett, profes- sor and chairman of the de- partment of communication studies, said the speech is often used to provide justifi- cation for government inter- vention in modern wars. “[Lincoln] says we’re found- ed on these principles, and we’re engaged in this great war to test these principles,” Brum- mett said. “We need to un- derstand that the people who died, died for these principles. Apply that to World War I, ap- ply that to World War II.” Lincoln said Americans should not allow soldiers who have died in the name of freedom to die in vain. “From these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they were here, gave the last full measure of devotion,” Lin- coln said. “We here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain.” Radio-television-film fresh- man Carl Little said Lincoln’s message of national unity is rel- evant to partisanship in modern American politics. “What Abe was fighting for was unity,” Little said. “Let’s be able to compromise — 150 years later, we’re still dealing with the same prob- lems Abe addressed.” In his speech, Lincoln said the soldiers who died fight- ing for a united country had a noble purpose. “We have come to dedicate a portion of [this battlefield] as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live,” Lincoln said. “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, while it can never forget what they did here.” Associate history professor Robert Olwell said until re- cently, people overlooked the speech because of its brevity. “It was not in the style of what was considered good oratory which tended to be flowery and filled with clas- sical illusions,” Olwell said. “In fact, Lincoln was not the main act at Gettysburg. They had Edward Everett, who was the main show. People came to hear Everett, who talked for two hours. Lincoln’s ad- dress takes two minutes.” Brummett said Lincoln’s 270-word speech was intended to be telegraphed and reprinted in newspapers nationwide. “It was that interesting in- tersection of change in media that contributed to its power, to its effect,” Brummett said. “Now we’ve really moved into the age where brevity is what we expect from media.” Its brevity has played a role in the preservation of the speech throughout history, Brummett said. “It was the fact that it was short and sweet and to the point that created the impact then and since,” Brummett said. to thing combat public abuse them. knowl- are What and and and avoid it? have that exactly something won’t case that established the constitutionality of affirma- tive action. “We’re very gratified that the Supreme Court did not change that, but reaffirmed the principles of Grutter,” Powers said. “The 5th Cir- cuit had its argument early last week — I was there. Our lawyers who argued the Grutter case, I thought, did an extremely good job of articulating our position.” Powers also commented on the master development of about 109 acres of land near the J.J. Pickle Research Campus to be used for “com- mercial development pur- poses” approved by the UT System’s Board of Regents at its meeting Thursday. Powers said the University requested the board’s approval for leasing the land — located at the corner of West Braker Lane and the North MoPac Expressway — to Hines, a Houston-based real estate company selected to develop the land. “When the Pickle tract first came to the Univer- sity, I think it was federal land that got deeded over to the University, even the part to the east of MoPac well outstretched our pro- jections well into the future of what we would need,” Powers said. “I think this is clearly in the interests of the University.” Kevin Hegarty, execu- tive vice president and chief financial officer, said the University land was com- petitively bid. Hegarty said following negotiations with Hines, the University will play a key role in determin- ing the commercial land development. Hegarty said the Univer- sity will spend the next sev- eral months negotiating an agreement with Hines, but it would take a minimum of 10 years to fully develop the land. “In the end, it would be commercial office buildings with probably some upscale residential apartments and some restaurants to support the people that live there as well as support the of- fice traffic that you’ll have,” Hegarty said. “What we hope is that the people that will want to come in and inhabit those buildings will, in many cases, have com- panion interest to the kind of research that happens on the Pickle tract.” W&N 3Copyright © 2013 Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc.

Let’s be able to compromise — 150 years later, we’re still dealing with the same problems Abe addressed. —Carl Little, Radio-television-film freshmanCURRICULUM continues from page 1 Today U.S. Sen. John Cornyn will join Rep. Ted Poe, R-Humble, and several other national lawmakers from both parties to introduce the Justice for Victims of Hu- man Trafficking Act, which would increase resources for law enforcement, strengthen penalties for perpetrators and expand services for victims of sex trafficking. This isn’t the first time Cornyn has fought on behalf of the vic- tims of this underreported and despicable crime. His most recent bill on the issue, filed in February, would reclassify sex trafficking as a violent crime, a move that we would call a no-brainer. That bill has not yet passed the Senate. We applaud Cornyn for his consistent efforts, and hope the bills will soon become law. 4A OPINIONLEGALESE | Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article.

This year’s event was more than just a celebration of culture — it was a time to bond over the impact of Ty- phoon Haiyan, the disaster that recently devastated the homes and lives of many of these students’ friends and families back in the Philippines. The association used this opportunity to raise money for the victims. Donations from the event went to Yolan- da Medical Relief, an organization that is helping provide medical care to victims of the superstorm. This effort was one of many that the as- sociation and other organizations on cam- pus have made to help provide relief to the Philippines. The association also recently hosted a benefit night at the restaurant Oi- shi Japanese Fusion. Sigma Phi Omega, an Asian-interest sorority, is hosting a cloth- ing drive for victims through the month of November. Members of the Asian American Campus Ministry have also pooled together to donate money to relief efforts. Last week, the Red Cross Club held a pastry and coffee sale and collected about $930 in donations for the victims. While it is understandable that primary relief from UT students seems to be coming from organizations with more obvious ties back to victims of the typhoon, UT should consider a wider university effort to raise funds for those affected by the devastating storm. Other public universities have had stronger university-level support for the di- saster victims. West Virginia University, for example, has promoted the use of its Center for Service and Learning as a proxy for dona- tions and as a resource for assisting student organizations with their relief efforts. UT in its entirety encompasses a student body with a diverse range of commitments. Those who argue against a University-driven effort to support charitable causes insist that UT would be biased in favoring a specific cause over all others. The association’s President Jef- frey Nguyen said to capture this diversity of in- terests, it would be fairer for student organiza- tions to lead in championing their causes. But major global disasters have pressing significance. With more than 50,000 people in its student body, UT has a lot of power to make a big impact. If we hold true to our motto of “What starts here changes the world,” we should use our power in numbers to do so. It could start with making dona- tions as easy and accessible as Facebook has made them at the top of our newsfeeds, and it could be as simple as sending out a University-wide email with a quick list of ways to lend support to the cause on campus and online. Students can make online contributions to the typhoon victims through the associa- tion’s page for Yolanda Medical Relief. Almeda is a marketing senior from Seattle. By Amanda AlmedaDaily Texan Columnist @Amanda_AlmedaAmanda Almeda / Daily Texan StaffStudents perform the traditional Philippine tinikling dance at the Filipino Student Associa- tion’s Filipino Cultural Night on Saturday. Editor’s note: This is the third editorial in a series covering the lasting impact and future outlook of the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas, or SWIFT, which was estab- lished in a statewide referendum on Nov. 5. We supported the creation of the fund and the initial $2 billion investment that went into it, but recognize that the fight to preserve Texas’ supply of fresh water is far from over. Check out the first and second editorials at www.dailytexanonline.com. Matagorda Bay is in a tough spot. The bay, which is the second-largest estuary on the Texas Gulf Coast, sits at the mouth of the Colorado River, and its ecosystem de- pends on the river’s consistent delivery of fresh water. That water supports its popula- tions of fish, shellfish, waterfowl and other marine life. Those populations in turn sup- port one of Texas’ largest fishing fleets and a host of tourism-based local businesses that rely on the bay’s natural beauty and bounty to stay profitable. So it comes as no surprise that the bay’s residents grew agitated over the past few months as the Lower Colorado River Au- thority, or LCRA, which manages the six dams that form the Highland Lakes, openly debated whether or not to shut off the bay’s supply of freshwater and divert it to Austin, more than 160 miles upstream. On Sept. 18, LCRA requested an exemp- tion from the Texas Commission on En- vironmental Quality’s requirement that it release the fresh water from the lakes to the bay. The bay’s residents vehemently protested, pointing out that water restrictions upstream in Austin were not being raised past Stage 2, at which homeowners were still allowed to water their lawns once a week. A few weeks later fate intervened, as the wettest October on record dropped enough rainfall on the Colorado River Basin to meet the demands of both Austin and the bay without the need for additional water from the Highland Lakes. On Oct. 16, LCRA withdrew its applica- tion for the exemption. In the letter with- drawing the request, LCRA’s General Man- ager Rebecca Motal made it clear that this wasn’t the end of the issue. “If the board determines at a later date that emergency relief … is needed, LCRA will file a new application,” Motal said. In the meantime, LCRA has turned its attention to cutting off flows to rice farm- ers downstream of Austin in 2014 for what would be the third year in a row. Those living on Matagorda Bay plan to put as much political pressure as pos- sible on LCRA when the conflict resumes, and are even considering filing a federal lawsuit against it. As the Texas Water Development Board, or TWDB, begins to determine which of the state’s proposed water projects receive fund- ing and which ones don’t, rural vs. urban water issues like the Matagorda Bay-LCRA dispute will only occur more and more often. That’s in part because of the vague and sometimes contradictory language of the legislation that created the State Water Implementation Fund. House Bill 4, which established the system by which the money will be distributed, mandates that no less than 10 percent go to rural projects. But it also includes this seemingly contradictory line: “The [TWDB] shall give the highest consideration in awarding points to projects that will … (1) serve a large population; (2) provide assistance to a diverse urban and rural population or (3) provide regionaliza- tion.” The bill failed to elucidate whether a “large population” was more important than a “diverse urban and rural population” or vice versa, which seems to defeat the pur- pose of specifying them at all. Language like that isn’t the only reason for the unresolved question of how the competi- tion for the water funding will play out, but it certainly doesn’t help. These disputes are so widely varied that it would be irresponsible to make a blanket judgment about the respective merits of ru- ral and urban water use — they should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. But in general, more strict and explicit safeguards must be put in place to prevent Texas’ ma- jor cities from using their considerable political power to accumulate more than their fair share of water. That political clout, it should be noted, only stands to grow in coming decades. For example, according to the TWDB’s most recent population projections, Travis County will more than double in size, adding more than a million new Austinites between 2010 and 2060. By comparison, the two coun- ties that enclose Matagorda Bay — Matagorda and Calhoun — are predicted to grow from their 2010 total of 58,083 by little more than 20,000 over the same period. That’s a wide disparity of new and thirsty voters. As water resources dwindle and the state population rises, the burden of growing water scarcity should be shared as widely as pos- sible, with no one group or area profiting at others’ expense. After all, it’s the State Wa- ter Implementation Fund for Texas, not the fund for Austin or Houston or Dallas. One of the TWDB’s major priorities going forward should be to make the division of funds as eq- uitable as possible, lest those major cities con- tinue to enjoy luxuries like green lawns and booming economies while Matagorda Bay and other rural areas cling desperately to life.

The bay’s shrimp stock depends on consistent freshwater inflows from the Colorado River. While it is understandable that primary relief from UT students seems to be coming from orga- nizations with more obvious ties back to victims of the typhoon, UT should consider a wider university effort to raise funds for those af- fected by the devastating storm. More strict and explicit safe- guards must be put in place to prevent Texas’ major cities from using their considerable political power to accumulate more than their fair share of water. Every time a national news network pulls a stock photo of the UT Tower to illustrate an article on the thoughtless actions of the Young Conservatives of Texas, also known as YCT, we find ourselves reminded of one the most frustrat- ing realities of sharing a campus with YCT: The more at- tention they get, the more people outside the state of Texas feel secure in dismissing all of UT as intolerant and crude. Yes, YCT’s actions are rightfully protected under the First Amendment, and any interven- tion on the part of the University to stop them would be unjust. But that doesn’t mean YCT’s planned event, a controversial mock immigration “sting,” to be held on campus Wednesday, during which students will receive $25 gift cards for “catch- ing” volunteers wearing “illegal immigrant” signs, is anything but disgusting. University lead- ers and students alike have rightfully denounced the event. YCT claims the event is meant “to spark a campus-wide discussion about the issue of illegal immigration, and how it affects our everyday lives.” There are probably more than a few members of YCT who feel that they’ve accomplished this mission simply because they’ve garnered the attention of the media. But if they read a lit- tle closer, or — dare we suggest it — opened their minds just a little, they’d realize that discus- sions started out of deep disgust and hatred fail to accomplish much in the way of progress. They’ve only done what we wish they hadn’t: alienated members of the UT community and further galvanized those beyond the 40 Acres into thinking of Texas as a backward commu- nity unable to do anything but hunt down and jail people who are different from ourselves. HORNS UP: UT GETTING BETTER AT WATER CONSERVATIONAs The Daily Texan reported Monday, the University is taking steps to increase its sustainability by decreasing the overall amount of water it uses and increasing its reli- ance on recycled water. Although it still has a long way to go before it reaches its 2020 sustainability goals, UT already compares favorably with other similarly sized in- stitutions and has made good progress over the last 30 years by reducing its total water usage by around 30 percent and increasing its reliance on recycled water. We’re encouraged by the University’s long-term commitment to conserving water in a time of unprecedented drought and hope it keeps up the good work. Facebook page. Garcia is a former paid field representative for gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott. “Our campaign has no affiliation with this repug- nant effort,” Avdiel Huerta, Texans for Greg Abbott press secretary, said in a statement. Gregory Vincent, vice president for the Division of Diversity and Communi- ty Engagement, said YCT’s plan to carry out “Catch an Illegal Immigrant” would represent a disregard for the UT honor code and a misuse of the Univer- sity’s value of free speech. Vincent also called YCT’s tactics both inflammatory and demeaning. “And once again, they will have resorted to exercising one of the University’s core values to the detriment of others,” Vincent said. “Such actions are counterproductive to true dialogue on our cam- pus, and it is unrepresentative of the ideals toward which our community strives.” Student Government President Horacio Villarreal said the event is disrespect- ful, and that undocumented students help the University continue to be competitive and grow. Student Government recently passed AR 16: In Support of Undocumented Students and Undocument- ed Longhorns Week, which outlines its recognition of the importance of all undoc- umented UT students and of Undocumented Long- horns Week, which is held in October. “It’s just really unfortunate to see a group of students that go to school with students of all backgrounds, beliefs, opinions, whatever it may be, do some- thing as disrespectful as that,” Villarreal said. Members of the University Leadership Initiative protest- ed “Catch an Illegal Immi- grant” in front of the Student Activity Center on Monday to plan for counter action and to develop a strategy for educating the UT commu- nity on surrounding issues. Melanie Diamond, soci- ology freshman and mem- ber of the initiative, said Wednesday’s event repre- sents woeful ignorance on the organization’s part. “I think it’s classless, child- ish and racist,” Diamond said. “If they are willing to have an honest discussion about [illegal immigration], that would be OK.” Government junior Pay- ton Mogford said YCT’s ap- proach to sparking debate over immigration is novel and effective. “It is not personally a tactic which I would utilize because a great majority of witnesses clearly cannot get past the surface of what the group is trying to attend to,” Mogford said. “I do not dis- agree with them on princi- ple necessarily, but there are better means of conducting a rational conversation.” Juan Belman, engineer- ing junior and leadership initiative member, said the Young Conservatives do not understand the lives of un- documented students. “This is very difficult for us as undocumented [stu- dents] to know that some- one’s playing with our lives, to know that they take this as a game,” Belman said. “We want to bring awareness that we need comprehensive im- migration reform.” Belman said the event goes against the UT com- munity working together. “We’re supposed to learn together; we’re supposed to work with each other, and they’re not trying to work with us,” Belman said. “They’re just showing ha- tred language toward stu- dents who are here to get an education and help out the community.” The mock sting comes after another controversial event hosted by the YCT in which students were charged different prices for baked goods depending on their race to exemplify affir- mative action. “And once again, in trying to be provocative, the YCT is contributing to an environ- ment of exclusion and dis- respect among our students, faculty and staff by sending the message that certain stu- dents do not belong on our campus,” Vincent said in a statement. Vincent said undocu- mented Longhorns are enti- tled to attend state universi- ties under the DREAM Act, signed in 2001. “[Undocumented stu- dents] are part of a growing diverse population on cam- pus and in the state of Tex- as, a population that plays increasingly larger roles in our intellectual, economic, political and cultural com- munities,” Vincent said. The YCT website de- scribes the organization as a non-partisan, conservative youth organization.

AFTER READING YOUR COPY YCT continues from page 1 It took some time, but the Longhorns finally got a Texas-sized victory on Monday night, blowing out Houston Baptist 89-61 at the Erwin Center. After opening up the season with three close wins over a few tricky mid-major oppo- nents, Texas moved to 4-0 on the year with the big victory over the lowly Huskies. “I’ll be honest, it was nice not to have to play from be- hind tonight,” sophomore for- ward Connor Lammert said. “We started out well and came out strong again in the second half to really put it away.” The Longhorns did not look particularly impressive in the game but were able to take ad- vantage of Houston Baptist’s sloppy ball handling and poor shot selection. The Huskies turned the ball over 16 times and shot just 39 percent from the field. Texas scored 16 points off turnovers. “Our zone still needs a lot of work,” head coach Rick Barnes said. “We have to do a better job of guarding the ball, but we’re long and we were very active out there tonight and that created some opportunities for us on the offensive end.” The Longhorns’ 89 points were their most in a game this season. The scoring attack was led by the veteran trio of junior forward Jonathan Holmes, sophomore guard Javan Felix and Lammert, who had 15, 14 and 13 points, respectively. Lammert led all Texas play- ers with 26 minutes, was just one rebound shy of a double- double and had three blocks on the night. “The rebounds and blocks are something I’ve worked on a lot in practice,” Lammert said. “If it wasn’t for guys like Prince, Cam and Jona- than pushing me in practice, I wouldn’t have been able to get to where I’m at now.” While the elder states- men did the heavy lifting, Texas’ big lead throughout the game gave some of the younger players valuable minutes. Freshmen guards Kendal Yancy, who got his first start of the season, Damarcus Croaker and Martez Walker all saw sig- nificant playing time and combined for 26 points and 12 rebounds. “We needed a game like this to get the freshmen out there,” Barnes said. “They gave us a lot of effort on the defensive end and did all the things that we’ve been ask- ing them to do.” All three of Texas’ walk- on players also got in the game late in the fourth quarter. Sophomore for- ward Danny Newsome even found his way into the box score, scoring three points and grabbing four rebounds. 6 SPTSMLK 1901 Rio GrandePOINTE GET TO THE POINTE! - NOW LEASING - FALL 2014!

Against Houston Baptist, a different freshman took Fe- lix’s spot in the starting lineup: Kendal Yancy. Yancy, a four-star recruit from Richardson, contributed seven points, four rebounds and an assist in 15 minutes of ac- tion. This included a definitive slam in transition after a steal. Felix, for his part, had 14 points in 17 minutes. Yancy, a 6-foot-4-inch, 200-pound guard gives the Longhorns added size at the two-guard spot. Felix, at only 5-feet-11-inches, is undersized for a shooting guard, and could struggle later in the season to de- fend larger guards. Head coach Rick Barnes made the early- season switch to allow Yancy a chance to develop against a non- conference foe, where the stakes aren’t quite as pressing. Free throw woesTexas may have won, but the team’s free throw shooting left much to be desired. Against an undersized Huskies squad — Houston Baptist only played one player taller than 6-foot-9-inches — the Longhorns reached the line 40 times, but only con- verted on 18 of those attempts. Sophomore center Cam- eron Ridley had 11 of Texas’ chances but only made three of those. A 33 percent free throw shooter last season, Rid- ley has regressed early in 2013- 14, converting only 35 percent from the line in 20 attempts. For much of the game, the Longhorns actually shot a better percentage from the three-point line than they did from the charity stripe, until Yancy hit a pair of free throws with 30 seconds re- maining. Texas finished the game shooting 42.3 percent from three and 44.1 percent from the field. Opportunistic defenseThe Longhorns struggled playing a zone defense early in the season. Their 2-3 look was far from perfect against Houston Baptist, but Texas defenders were opportunistic and aggressive in the passing lanes, forcing the Huskies into 16 turnovers. Texas’ length created a lot of opportunities, as the Long- horns consistently pressured the smaller Huskies guards. Texas committed only nine turnovers of its own and cre- ated 16 points off HBU mis- handles. This is the fourth game this season the Long- horns forced 13 turnovers or more. Toothy grinTexas’ leading scorer Jona- than Holmes will have a little less of a smile Tuesday after- noon. Holmes took a hard spill while diving for a loose ball, los- ing chunks of two teeth in the process. “He looks different,” sopho- more forward Connor Lammert said. “But he looks alright. That kind of effort shows who he is.” The game stopped while a pair of medical staff searched for the fragments of Holmes’ teeth on the floor. Still, Holmes who sat out the majority of the second half, managed to lead the Longhorns offensively, scor- ing a team-high 15 points while adding six boards. NFLNBANHLPATRIOTSPANTHERS TRAIL BLAZERSNETS GRIZZLIESCLIPPERS DUCKSPENGUINS Yancy, Holmes highlight blowout winThe Longhorns’ loss to Okla- homa State on Saturday did more than just end their six-game win streak and drop them to third in the Big 12 standings. It also relin- quished their ability to control their own destiny in pursuit of a Big 12 championship. Texas must win its final two games against Texas Tech and No. 4 Baylor to remain in con- tention for a conference champi- onship, but now it also needs No. 10 Oklahoma State to lose one of its final two games. The Cow- boys, who hold the tiebreaker over Texas after Saturday’s win, close out the season with home games against Baylor and No. 20 Oklahoma. Despite this, head coach Mack Brown remains optimis- tic about Texas’ chances to win the conference. Brown believes a Big 12 championship is still realistic because of Oklahoma State’s difficult remaining sched- ule, and he said it’s up to his players to keep fighting. “The goals are still there,” Brown said. “They’re still in place. They just don’t control their own destiny, so now they have to beat Tech. But Okla- homa State’s got Oklahoma and Baylor left. Baylor has got some tough games. There’s a lot of football to be played. You just can’t get your head down and lay down and quit when you have a bad night. You have to go back to work.” While they are also behind undefeated Baylor in the Big 12 standings, the Longhorns can clinch the tiebreaker against the Bears with a win in Waco on Dec. 7. First, Texas needs to win on Thanksgiving against Tech for that scenario to remain in tact. Sophomore defensive tack- le Malcom Brown believes the players must be ready to bounce back against the Red Raiders. “We still have two more games going into the Big 12 championship,” Brown said. “We have to stay focused and go and play Texas Tech like we didn’t even lose.” The Longhorns catch Tech at an ideal time, as the Red Raiders have lost their last four games after beginning the year 7-0.

The last time Texas met with the Lobos was in 2006, when both teams were ranked nationally in the top 25. The ranked match-up drew a crowd of more than 10,000 people to The Pit, all of whom watched Texas suffer a close 63-60 loss. But the game in 2006 was a different situation for the Longhorns. In that game, for- mer head coach Jody Conradt coached her 1,000th game from the Texas bench while Tuesday’s game will only be head coach Karen Aston’s second season and 33rd game with the Longhorns. One factor has remained constant both years: Texas has had a perfect record going into this game. In 2006, the Longhorns faced New Mexico with a 5-0 record, while this time around, they’re going in with a 2-0 record. Texas beat Texas State 96- 42 on Wednesday, with the 54-point victory the larg- est win for the Longhorns since 2010. With the memory of the blowout still fresh in their minds, the Long- horns are hoping to shut down a New Mexico team that is out for redemption after falling to Texas Tech 64-56 on Wednesday. “It’s really a disappointing loss because we should beat that team and we had every opportunity to do it,” Lobos head coach Yvonne Sanchez said in a statement. Texas proved it could con- trol the interior early and of- ten in its game against Texas State, and had four different Longhorns — Enemkpali with 22 points, McGee-Staf- ford with 15 points, Rodrigo with 15 points and Fussell with 14 points — score at least 14 points. But what re- ally made Texas excel was its rebounding, though New Mexico has shown that it is far more competitive in the rebound department than Texas State, as the Lobos had 48 rebounds in their last game compared with the Bobcats’ 27.

The Longhorns will face New Mexico on Tuesday for their toughest game of the season so far. CLUB SPORTSLost teammate still rememberedThe men’s volleyball club play- ers are preparing for their first set, the crowd is cheering and the opposing team is in position, but their minds are not on the court. Instead, all they can think about is their fallen teammate. The team is still coping with the death of former club presi- dent Michael Purgason, who died in the summer of 2012 in a car accident. Now, every time they step on the court, the players don’t just play for each other, but for Purgason as well. Purgason began his volley- ball career at age 6, following in his sister’s footsteps. Public schools in Texas do not have official men’s volleyball teams, but that did not stop Michael from pursuing his goal. He traveled to different camps throughout his youth and even became a women’s volleyball manager at his high school to stay active in the sport. His experiences eventually led him to become a legend on the UT court. “Michael was the driv- ing factor when we played,” teammate Chase McKinzie said. “He was the energy on our court.” Purgason, along with McKinzie, brought the team together by beginning a tradi- tion that the Longhorns still practice to this day. The clap they do every post-play — three claps followed by Texas on the third — signifies the beginning of the next play. This keeps a constant rhythm and energy throughout the game. Texas finished its season last spring, but the team stayed to- gether to train for this upcom- ing one with Purgason in mind. “It was a harsh reality check,” current team president Sammy Ramos said. “It made every single one of us realize we are not invincible. It put things in perspective.” The Longhorns still struggle to adjust to the sudden change. Every time they play on the court, nostalgia takes over. “The first year was not the same,” assistant coach Brissa Ochoa said. “He felt like the missing puzzle piece.” The tragic event has given the team members an oppor- tunity to develop a closer bond with each other. When they share funny stories about Pur- gason, it is a reminder of why they began playing the sport and why they must continue. The players who knew him still feel him around, and the guys who didn’t have the opportuni- ty to get to know him through the stories the team tells. “We developed a fam- ily bond we didn’t know ex- isted,” Ramos said. “We still keep in contact with his im- mediate family and we keep them involved.” The Purgasons still strongly support the volleyball club. They participate in team din- ners, community service cam- paigns and fundraisers. They are the team’s No. 1 fans. They also began a non- profit organization, the Mi- chael Gilles Purgason Foun- dation, in memory of their son. The foundation has been very active and has played a role in funding consulta- tion rooms, UT medical branches in Arlington and the UT volleyball team. Ramos had a large role to fill when he stepped in for Purgason. But he has tried to reflect Purgason’s legacy through his decisions and leadership. “Michael and I share the same passions,” Ramos said. “He was obsessed with the game of volleyball and would do anything for the club. I felt like I could be the one to carry the team and I’ve worked hard to compete and take them places. So far, I believe I have been able to accomplish that goal as their leader and we will win this season for Michael.” By Elizabeth Lara@Lizzz_4By Rachel Wenzlaff@RachelWenzlaff control its own destiny by the time it plays Tech on Nov. 28, as a Baylor victory over Okla- homa State on Nov. 23 would allow Texas to move back in front of the Cowboys in the conference standings. While Saturday’s loss com- plicated the Longhorns’ Big 12 title hopes, the players realize their chances are far from over. It remains up to them to re- bound in their final two games, and junior running back Joe Bergeron said that’s exactly what they plan to do. “We still have two more games, and we just have to get everybody to understand it is not the end of the world,” Bergeron said. “Every team has a loss at some point. It is not like we haven’t lost before, and this is the University of Texas; we know how to handle that. We will come back, watch film, fix whatever we did wrong and we will come back to win these next two games.” Horns strive to keep perfect record against New MexicoFOOTBALLcontinues from page 6Sam Ortega / Daily Texan StaffFreshman quarterback Tyrone Swoopes runs against Oklahoma State late in Saturday’s game. record shows he’s a winner, which is the most impor- tant characteristic of an NFL quarterback. Buffalo’s quarterback situa- tion tells a similar story. Since cutting Young last year, the Bills signed Kevin Kolb, Thad Lewis and undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel. Kolb has not played in a regu- lar season game this season because of concussion issues, but his previous 9-12 record and 5,206 passing yards are un- derwhelming. Lewis and Tuel have combined for five touch- downs, five interceptions and a 1-4 record. There are other examples of quarterbacks who have gotten opportunities ahead of Young despite inferior ca- reer numbers. Josh Freeman, who started the season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was signed mid-season by the Minnesota Vikings, has a 24-36 record and a quar- terback rating of 77.8 in five seasons, and his 37.7 percent completion percentage in his one start for the Vikings was the lowest in an NFL game since 2007. Josh McCown is 2-0 this season in place of the Chicago Bears’ Jay Cut- ler but had previously been unimpressive, amassing a 15- 20 record while throwing 42 touchdowns and 44 intercep- tions. Altogether Lewis, Tolzien, Tuel, Wallace, Freeman and McCown have a combined 3-9 record this year — all while Young has sat idly as a free agent. Though a number of off-the-field incidents have clouded some of his accom- plishments, Young is equal if not above these quarterbacks in career statistics and athletic ability. More importantly, he has a better winning percent- age than all of them. In the NFL’s win-at-all-costs culture, that should be enough.

After a short time as the Roxie Hart understudy in the Broadway production of “Chicago,” Anne Horak stepped into the leading role for the national tour of the classic production. The Daily Texan interviewed Horak about the show’s na- tional tour and what it was like being thrown into the role of Roxie Hart. The Daily Texan: How did you get your start in theatre? Anne Horak: I first got into singing and dancing watching all the old Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies. From a very young age, my dad and I would watch their old black and white movies, and I loved them. I would have friends over when I was in, proba- bly, first grade and I would say, “Hey, want to watch ‘Flying Down to Rio’?” DT: Why is Roxie Hart one of your dream roles? AH: She gets to sing and dance and act. Bob Fosse is such an iconic choreog- rapher in musical theatre history, and “Chicago” is one of those iconic shows. Having that under your belt is kind of a footprint in theatre history. I feel like it’s one of those things where someone can look at your resume and say, “Oh wow, she played Roxie Hart in Chicago.” DT: What was it like playing a murderer? How do you get in that mind set? AH: Well, yeah, it’s fun- ny because she is such a lovable and fun character. It’s almost hard to remem- ber that she is murderous. You just have to remember what a crazy and traumatic event that it was but also that Roxie has these amaz- ing dreams of being a ce- lebrity, of being a star. In the 1920s in Chicago, all of these terrible acts were put on a pedestal like they were amazing. The people that did them were instant celebrities despite the hor- ror of their actions. Roxie, I think, is one of those people who will sort of do whatever it takes to gain the stardom she desires. DT: With such an iconic role that has been played by so many stars, what did you do to try and make it your own? AH: I really tried to bring myself to the char- acter. I think kind of the beauty of this show is that a lot of other shows can be kind of a cookie-cutter with your replacement, and “Chicago” really al- lows the freedom to make the character your own. DT: What was it like being thrown into the tour? AH: The show is pretty much an exact replica of the Broadway company. I literally had sound check, and I did my first show. I ran through one or two things, you know certain lifts or certain things fel- low actors needed to just flush out before the show, but I hardly had any re- hearsal with this cast, but it was fine. Once you get one show under your belt, it’s totally fine. It was sur- prisingly very, very smooth and seamless. That’s thanks to stage management and this talented cast. DT: Do you have a fa- vorite song or scene of the show? AH: I think, for me, it’s definitely the Roxie monologue going into the song “Roxie.” I think that the monologue is that time where you’re really breaking that fourth wall and getting the chance to interact with the au- dience. It’s a time where you can kind of play a little and really feel out the audience and their re- actions and try different things based on the reac- tions. That’s always a fun moment because it’s just Roxie on stage. By Eleanor Dearman@EllyDearmanCUPIDcontinues from page 10potential for his band. Another star here is Sa- mantha Urbani, the singer of indie group Friends, who provides vocals to many tracks, including the wonderful “You’re Not Good Enough.” The per- fect kiss-off from a scorned lover, the highlight track features Urbani and Hynes getting revenge by repeat- ing, “I never was in love. You know that you were never good enough,” over and over again. Most of these songs are filled with pain and an- guish, which create a solid dichotomy with the tropi- cal undertones. Hynes is a magician at crafting hooks, from the call and response of “On The Line,” which has a nice callback to a song he made with Knowles last year, to the soaring closer “Time Will Tell” that effec- tively ties the whole album together. He nails it on “Un- cle Ace,” titled for the en- dearing nickname homeless New York City teens have given the subway line where they seek shelter, with a tune so emotionally affecting that it remains powerful wheth- er the backstory is known or not. This year has seen many artists, including HAIM and Sky Ferreira, try to nail the sound of ’80s pop, but none have perfected the formula quite the way Hynes does on his new al- bum. After making waves behind the scenes, Blood Orange fully shines in the spotlight on Cupid Deluxe. consciousness raps, restrains himself on this release. Many of the tracks only have looped sections of him scream- ing, rather than a traditional verse-chorus structure. The beats are as frenzied as ever, especially on highlights such as the closing track or the first single “Birds,” which con- tains tonal shifts so abrupt they are often disorienting. Death Grips have always been masters at repetition, and they employ it here to create tracks that are hypnotic and filled with conflicting sounds. Although the sounds are chaotic, they are controlled, and it feels like every piece of noise was created with a distinct sense of purpose. Unlike any previous album, Government Plates feels less like a collection of songs and more like one long, abrasive piece. The lack of structure present means songs bleed in and out of each other, so it is hard to tell where one song ends and the next begins. While the music is jarring, the songs are always energetic and engrossing. Death Grips have right- fully angered a lot of fans with their antics in the past year, but those who stuck around are duly rewarded with Gov- ernment Plates, possibly their most challenging and capti- vating release yet.

SARAH-GRACE SWEENEY, LIFE&ARTS EDITOR / @DailyTexanArts10Tuesday, November 19, 2013Q-AND-A | ‘THE MASTER AND MARGARITA’Novel studies struggles of good, evilALBUM REVIEW | ‘GOVERNMENT GRIPS’ALBUM REVIEW | ‘CUPID DELUXE’Photo courtesy of TumblrDev Hynes, the mastermind behind Blood Orange, performs. Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel, “The Master and Margarita,” is a classic piece of Stalin-era literature that was not pub- lished until well after Stalin’s time. It is also Thomas Gar- za’s, professor in the depart- ment of Slavic and Eurasian studies, favorite book. The Daily Texan talked to Garza about the struggle between good and evil, and rereading his favorite book. The Daily Texan: For those who haven’t read “The Master and Margar- ita,” how would you de- scribe it? Thomas Garza: I see the novel as a classic write-up of the struggle between good and evil. That, to me, is the biggest hook: that good and evil doesn’t go away. You can always kind of build a read- ership on just that. But more than that, what I love about this novel is its focus on the eternal value of art and lit- erature. That famous line, “Manuscripts don’t burn,” is my favorite line from the entire novel. It tells us that once you’ve thought it, you’ve put it down. You can destroy it in any way you want, and it won’t change the fact that that work of art has been created. It’s still art, because it’s there, somewhere. I love that. DT: What does “The Master and Margarita” have to say about liv- ing now as opposed to the Soviet Union in the Stalin era? TG: There’s always strug- gles between good and evil. What I like about the novel that I think is very applicable to 21st century students and their lives is that the strug- gle doesn’t occur as war, the struggle doesn’t occur as us and them, the struggle is philosophical and ideologi- cal. And what I like about it is it encourages us to think about these questions before they turn into hot wars, un- til they turn into us throw- ing bombs at each other. DT: As you’ve reread the novel, how has it changed in your perception? TG: When I first read it, I must have been 19 and still an undergraduate. When I read it again as part of a grad seminar, it suddenly had many more layers. It es- sentially changes every time. The ending never changes, the characters never change — but the reading does change. I think it has a lot to do both with what’s happen- ing in one’s personal life, and much more on what’s hap- pening around them — the state of the world. There’s a difference from when I was reading it back in the late ’70s, and reading it in the ’80s and ’90s, and reading it today. I was teaching the novel when 9/11 happened, in fact, and so suddenly good and evil had a very dif- ferent read for my students. DT: What makes a book like “The Master and Margarita” stay relevant through the years? TG: So one, you’ve got good themes — things like good and evil and life and death, and that’s timeless. Second, really important for Bulgakov, is good writing. The writing is super. And third, unforgettable charac- ters. I mean, they’re such a part of Russian culture now that one invokes the black cat the way we would in- voke a character like Mickey Mouse. They invoke all of the “Master and Margarita” characters in pop culture in Russia. For the past few months, Death Grips, the contro- versial Californian noise rap group, have begun to wear out their welcome. The group was already notorious for violating its record con- tract by leaking its second studio album for free and putting a graphic depiction of the drummer’s genitals on the album cover last fall. The band followed those antics with last-minute can- cellations of its tour dates this summer, including a highly publicized no-show at Lollapalooza where its equipment was set up at the venue before fans realized the band wasn’t coming. Death Grips canceled their Fun Fun Fun Fest set, too, all under the guise of recording new material. A week after Fun Fun Fun Fest, out of the blue, they surprised fans with a new al- bum available for free down- load from their website. Gov- ernment Plates is one of their harshest and noisiest releases to date, and reminds listen- ers why they cared about the band in the first place. This time around, the band has opted for a chaotic structure. It feels as though each track is right on the verge of col- lapsing into hysteria at any given moment. Vocalist Stefan “MC Ride” Burnett, famous for furiously spitting nearly unintelligible stream-of- Even if you’ve never heard of singer/producer Dev Hynes — the man behind Blood Orange — you’ve probably heard some of his work. Hynes caught a break last year when he co-wrote and produced Sky Ferreira’s “Everything Is Embarrass- ing,” along with a new EP by Solange Knowles, which in- cluded the hit “Losing You.” Those two songs were no- table for their catchy hooks, smooth but danceable ’80s sound and heartbroken lyr- ics that betrayed the infec- tious melodies. On Hynes’ second studio album, Cu- pid Deluxe, he shines with a collection of affecting pop that consistently deliv- ers on the promise of his songwriting work. As a producer, Hynes de- veloped a distinct sound, a hybrid between R&B and lounge that lives in a melan- choly shadow. He fully devel- ops that sound here and pulls it off either by singing him- self or employing a vast array of talented guests. Caroline Polachek of Chairlift steals the show on opener “Cha- makay,” a tortured duet that works wonders from its light refrain.
