Bev Kearney, former women’s track and field head coach, has filed a discrimina- tion complaint against the University, according to her attorney, Derek Howard. She filed the complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission’s Civil Rights Division, which will now conduct an investigation to see if there were any viola- tions of the Texas Labor Code. The commission has 180 days from the filing date to investigate the complaint and determine whether Ke- arney has the right to sue the University. Patricia Ohlendorf, vice president for legal affairs, said the University will also begin reviewing the complaint. “Coach Kearney’s allega- tions of discrimination will be reviewed thoroughly and responded to according to [the U.S. Equal Employ- ment Opportunity Commis- sion] and Texas Workforce Commission procedures,” Ohlendorf said in a statement. Kearney resigned in Janu- ary after she was told the University was prepared to fire her because of a relation- ship she had with a student- athlete in 2002. The former student-ath- lete reported the relation- ship in October, after which Kearney was put on paid leave. Ohlendorf said in the statement Kearney was given an opportunity to provide her side of the story and appeal any decisions the University could make, but she chose to resign.

Miller, associate direc- tor of Campus Diversity and Strategic Initiatives and an educational administration graduate student, is one of three lead team members be- hind the Campus Climate and Response Team. The team, which was publicly launched in March 2012, helps connect students who report incidents of bias with resources and gathers information about campus culture. The Campus Climate and Response Team is composed of 12 administrators who rep- resent various departments involved in bias incidents, including administrators from the Gender and Sexual- ity Center, the Multicultural Engagement Center and UT Police Department officers. Miller said his team re- ceives roughly 15 to 20 re- ports per month during the fall and spring semesters, and those reports typically involve incidents including derogatory graffiti, verbal ha- rassment and slurs or parties with racial or otherwise de- rogatory themes. He said the team will occasionally hear reports of assaults coupled with slurs and social media harassment on UT course- specific Facebook pages. Miller said reports of policy violations require contacting legal authorities or another appropriate sources within the administration, but other demonstrations of bias sug- gest a need for education. “What we’re trying to do at CCRT involves a balancing act,” Miller said. “We protect free speech and defend that right, but we also value an in- clusive environment where all students and employees can be productive and learn and work free from discrimination.” Sherri Sanders, associate vice president for Campus Diversity and Strategic Ini- tiatives, serves as a liaison between the lead team and as vice president for diver- sity and community engage- ment.

Thousands gathered to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in geniune Irish fashion — leprechauns and green beer not included. The Celtic Cultural Cen- ter of Texas hosted the 10th annual St. Patrick’s Day Austin Festival inside the new Shoal Crossing Event Center on Sunday night. The event featured per- formances of traditional Irish song, dance, food and drink. The event placed a spe- cial emphasis on authentic- ity and cultural education, especially as it relates to Irish cultural history. Don- nelle McKaskle, director of the Celtic Cultural Cen- ter, said she takes pride in avoiding the stereotypes as- sociated with Ireland and St. Patrick’s Day. “Unlike other places we try to focus a little more on families and education and the traditions. If you look around you won‘t see any representations of stereo- types,” McKaskle said. “No green beer, most Irish peo- ple drink Guinness.” At the festival, cutouts of famed Irish poets replaced stereotypical Irish imag- ery.

No green beer, most Irish people drink Guinness. — Donnelle McKaskle, Director of the Celtic Cultural Center SXSW response team is part of what makes it a valuable resource. “This is a large institu- tion, and a complex one,” Sanders said. “Oftentimes, people don’t know where to go to report an incident, but they also don’t have the chance to connect with the institution. The CCRT gives people a place to go.” Despite the team’s efforts, Miller said he and the team are aware they do not have a comprehensive picture of bias incidents on campus. “We know bias incidents of all kind are underreport- ed,” Miller said. “This isn’t just an issue for UT. It’s an issue for higher education nationally, and for society as a whole. We are trying to build trust and encourage people to report the things they experience.” Miller also said measuring the success of the team’s anti- bias efforts can be difficult. “There are several differ- ent ways to measure suc- cess, but I don’t know that any of them are adequate,” Miller said. “We’re working to create a more inclusive campus climate, where ev- eryone feels like they have a place at the table. That’s a process more than a goal, but it’s certainly something we’re hoping to address.” Plan II freshman Matt Green said he has not heard of the response team, but is glad such a resource exists. “I’m not at all familiar with a bias hotline,” Green said, “but I do think it’s very important to have something like that — even though I haven’t experi- enced any bias myself, other people certainly might have.” 2the Graduate Association for Music and Musicians at the University of Texas at Austin, announces its thirteenth annual conference, “Music and Spectacle,” to be held on Saturday, March 23, 2012 in Welch Hall, room 3.502 at The University of Texas at Austin.

FRAMES | FEAtuREd photo contest that the University handled her situation differ- ently than similar situations have been handled in the past. In February, a Texas Public Information Act re- quest by the Daily Texan re- vealed football offensive co- ordinator Major Applewhite engaged in “inappropriate, consensual behavior with an adult student” during the 2009 Fiesta Bowl festivi- ties. Applewhite’s salary was frozen for a year, but he was not fired. Ohlendorf said the Uni- versity reviews allegations and reports of unprofes- sional relationships on a case-by-case basis. “As Coach Kearney was told by the University, the relationship that she had with the student-athlete is unprofessional and crosses the line of trust placed in the head coach for all as- pects of the athletic pro- gram and the best inter- ests of the student-athletes on the team,” she said in the statement. would not increase safety at universities. “I respect the Legisla- ture’s authority to decide this policy issue and that neither all legislators nor the Texans they represent will agree,” Cigarroa said in the letter. “However, during my tenure as chan- cellor, parents, students, faculty, staff, administra- tors and institutional law enforcement officers have all expressed concern that the presence of concealed handguns on our campus will make the campus envi- ronment less safe.” Cigarroa sent a letter to Perry during the previous legislative session express- ing the same concerns when lawmakers were considering similar legislation. A recent poll conduct- ed by UT and The Texas Tribune found that 48 percent of Texas voters expressed some type of support for allowing fac- ulty, staff and students to carry concealed firearms on campus while 47 per- cent expressed some type of opposition. UT-AUSTIN FUNDINGThe Legislature also addressed the University’s funding last week. The Senate Finance Committee approved a bill that would boost state funding to UT from current levels. The bill may be placed before the full Senate for a vote this week. The bill would allocate $511.7 million in general revenue funds to the Uni- versity during the 2014-15 biennium. The proposal is about $20 million more than the $492.5 million al- located during the previ- ous biennium, and about $1 million more than the $512.9 million the Univer- sity requested from the Sen- ate through the Legislative Appropriations Request. The House Appropria- tions Committee is still mulling over its proposed budget, which would allo- cate $478.8 million in state general revenue funds to the University during the 2014-15 biennium. VALLEY CONSOLIDATIONSeparately, the House may take up a bill this week that would consolidate three UT System institutions in the Rio Grande Valley. The bill, approved by the Senate on Wednesday by a vote of 30-1, would combine UT-Brownsville, UT-Pan American and the Regional Academic Health Center in Harlingen into one institution and allow that institution to access the Permanent University Fund, a $1.3 billion state endowment for institu- tions in the UT and Texas A&M systems. The Re- gional Academic Health Center would become a medical school under the proposal. The UT System is cur- rently committing $100 million over 10 years for a prospective Valley medical school and will seek $10 mil- lion in annual state funds for the consolidation. Each house must approve the measure by a two-thirds vote for it to take effect. BOARD OVERSIGHTFinally, a joint committee composed of members of both houses will take steps Tuesday to investigate alle- gations that the UT System Board of Regents is “micro- managing” administrative decisions at UT. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus relaunched the Joint Oversight Committee on Higher Education Gov- ernance, Excellence and Transparency last month after regents intensely ques- tioned UT President Wil- liam Powers Jr. over a num- ber of topics at a Feb. 13 board meeting. The next week, the Legis- lature passed three resolu- tions defending and hon- oring Powers, culminating in a ceremony on the Sen- ate floor. During an emo- tional testimony, Dewhurst decried the regents for “micromanaging” Powers. Regents Chairman Gene Powell released a state- ment that week defend- ing the regents and saying that Dewhurst’s allegations “surely had to be the re- sult of misinformation and were either incorrect or inaccurate.” teaching the Gealic language and merchants sold genuine Celtic memorabilia. The evening also featured live entertainment, includ- ing James Keane, an ex- ponent of traditional Irish accordion, and Goitse, a young group flown in from Limerick, Ireland. McK- askle said Keane has been recorded by the Smithson- ian Institute and has played with some of the greatest musicians in the Irish tra- dition. She said Goitse — whose members are all in their mid-20s — is unique in that they are a young band that wants to play in the tradition of the masters. Stephen Roe and Marci Adkinson, attendants at the festival, were pleased to cel- ebrate St. Patrick’s Day in a family-friendly environ- ment. They said their chil- dren were especially pleased by the face-painting booth and storytelling hour. “The authenticity here is really neat and important,” Adkinson said. “It’s not com- mercialized. It’s got stuff for the kids too. It’s nice to come out and not be clumped into a small area with a bunch of drunk people.” Leland Simpson, a mer- chant at the festival dealing in authentic Celtic knotwork, said the festival had a high turnout, noting most of the attendants were genuinely in- terested in their heritage. “The turnout’s been great,” Simpson said. “[The people here] like to get into the history of [the knot- work]. A lot of the jewelry I have has a card that gives you history and back- ground. The people here just love that.” The festival served as a fundraiser for an upcom- ing Celtic festival to be held in November, which will also be hosted by the Celtic Cultural Center.

But in a nationally tele- vised speech, President Nicos Anastasiades also urged lawmakers to ap- prove the tax in a vote Monday, saying it is es- sential to save the country from bankruptcy. About 25 lawmakers from the communist-root- ed AKEL party, the social- ist EDEK and the Greens said they won’t vote for the tax in the 56-seat Cypriot parliament amid deep re- sentment over a move some called disastrous. The vote was initially set for Sunday but was post- poned until Monday — a national holiday in Cyprus. On Saturday frightened savers rushed to automated teller machines to with- draw as much of their cash as they could. The announcement of the vote postponement set off an immediate scramble among top European financial offi- cials. One lawmaker told The Associated Press that Euro- pean Central Bank was pres- suring Cypriot authorities to hold the vote without delay. In exchange for €10 billion ($13 billion) in rescue mon- ey, creditors would impose a one-time tax of 6.75 percent on all bank deposits under €100,000 ($131,000) and 9.9 percent over that amount.

Forgotten pickax leads police to robberMETAIRIE, La. — Au- thorities in Louisiana say they tracked a man accused of stealing drugs from a pharmacy because he left behind a pickax he used to break in — and forgot to re- move the price tag. Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Col. John Fortunato says the sticker included a bar code in- dicating when and where the pickax was bought. The store had video of the purchase. Fortunato tells The Times- Picayune that a nearby store had surveillance video from the night of the burglary, showing the same man and a vehicle license plate. Fortunato says drugs from the pharmacy were found during a search of 43-year- old Scott Rodrigue’s home. Rodrigue was booked with pharmacy burglary and drug possession and freed on $70,000 bond. British celebrities urge press controlsLONDON — Celebrities including J.K. Rowling and Hugh Grant accused the British government on Sun- day of letting down the vic- tims of media intrusion and urged tough new measures to rein in Britain’s unruly press. Lawmakers are to vote Monday on rival plans for tougher controls in the wake of the country’s phone-hacking scandal. The Conservative-led gov- ernment says it will propose a new press watchdog with the power to levy fines of up to 1 million pounds ($1.5 million). Debate about how to con- trol the press has raged in Britain since revelations in 2011 that tabloid journal- ists had eavesdropped on voicemails, bribed officials for information and hacked into computers in a relentless quest for scoops. Pope Francis mingles with Vatican faithfulVATICAN CITY — Walk- ing up to crowds, shaking hands with surprised by- standers in the street, mixing his formal speeches with off- the-cuff remarks, Pope Fran- cis stamped his own style on the papacy Sunday. His humor and down- to-earth manner captivated those filling St. Peter’s Square in Rome to overflowing, and he worked the crowd in a way that had to give his secu- rity staff palpitations. Rome Mayor Gianni Alemanno, in the square himself, estimated the crowd’s size at 300,000. “Brothers and sisters, ‘Buon giorno,’” Francis said in Italian in his first welcome from the window of the pa- pal residence, setting an in- formal tone that has become the defining spirit of his young papacy. Earlier Sunday, he made an impromptu appearance before the public from a side gate of the Vatican. Albanian inmate misses hat trickATHENS, Greece — His first two prison escapes in Greece were spectacular and successful, aboard heli- copters chartered by accom- plices. But when Albanian inmate Alket Rizaj tried to break out of another lockup — this time by taking hostag- es — his gamble just didn’t pay off. After a 24-hour standoff Rizaj, a convicted contract killer, surrendered to po- lice at Malandrino prison in central Greece on Sunday, and his captives were freed or escaped unharmed, Jus- tice Ministry officials said on condition of anonymity in keeping with regulations. — Compiled from Associated Press reportsSTEUBENVILLE, Ohio — Two members of Steu- benville’s celebrated high school football team were found guilty Sunday of rap- ing a drunken 16-year-old girl, and Ohio’s attorney general warned the case isn’t over, saying he is inves- tigating whether coaches, parents and other students broke the law, too. Trent Mays, 17, and Ma’Lik Richmond, 16, were sentenced to at least a year in juvenile prison in a case that has rocked this Rust Belt city of 18,000 and led to allegations of a cover-up to protect the Steubenville High team, which has won nine state championships. Mays was ordered to serve an additional year for pho- tographing the underage girl naked. They can be held until they turn 21. The two broke down in tears after a Juvenile Court judge delivered his verdict. They later apologized to the victim and the community, Richmond struggling to speak through his sobs. “My life is over,” he said as he collapsed in the arms of his lawyer. The crime, which took place after a party last summer, shocked many in Steubenville because of the seeming callousness with which other students took out their cellphones to re- cord the attack and gos- siped about it online. In fact, the case came to light via a barrage of morning- after text messages, social media posts and online photos and video. “Many of the things we learned during this trial that our children were say- ing and doing were profane, were ugly,” Judge Thomas Lipps said. Immediately after the verdict, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said he will convene a grand jury next month to investigate whether anyone else should be charged. Noting that 16 people refused to talk, many of them underage, DeWine said possible offenses to be investigated include failure to report a crime. “This community des- perately needs to have this behind them, but this com- munity also desperately needs to know justice was done and that no stone was left unturned,” he said. Among those who have been interviewed are the owners of one of the houses where parties were held that night, the high school principal, and the football team’s 27 coaches, many of them volunteers. Text messages intro- duced at the trial suggested the head coach was aware of the rape allegation early on. DeWine said coaches are among officials required by state law to report child abuse. The coach and the school district have repeat- edly declined to comment. Mays and Richmond were charged with pen- etrating the West Virginia girl with their fingers, first in the back seat of a moving car after a mostly underage drinking party on Aug. 11, and then in the basement of a house. Evidence at the trial also included sexually explicit text messages sent by nu- merous students after the party. Lawyers noted how texts have seemed to re- place talking on the phone for young people. In sentencing the boys, Lipps urged parents and others “to have discussions about how you talk to your friends, how you record things on … social media.” By Andrew Welsh-HugginsAssociated Press In an hours-long session on March 14, the Texas House’s Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee heard argu- ments both for and against concealed carry on college cam- puses. The debate about four bills, which would each end the ban on concealed firearms on college campuses, included tes- timony from teachers, policemen and survivors of the 1966 massacre at the UT Tower and the 2011 mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, CO. Our stance on concealed carry is simple: When gunfire breaks out in a public setting, bad things happen. Given the alarming frequency of campus shootings nationwide — in- cluding one here in 2010 — putting more guns in the vicinity and more bullets in the air is not the answer. It would make the task for law enforcement much harder and vastly increase the likelihood of accidental death. We are not arguing that the problem with concealed carry on campus legislation is that it would facilitate mass shootings like the ones in Aurora or Newtown, CT. Proponents of campus carry are right to point out that a ban does nothing to actually prevent someone with malicious intent from bringing a gun onto campus; indeed, Colton Tooley proved as much when he walked around the UT campus firing an AK-47 before killing himself at the Perry-Castaneda Library in 2010. However, con- cealed carry proponents’ argument that allowing guns would make it possible for regular citizens to defend themselves and incapacitate a shooter in such a situation is naïve and short- sighted. National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre wasn’t wrong to say that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” but we’d prefer those good guys to have a high level of training, a plan and recognizable uniforms. UT has the benefit of its own highly-trained, highly-visible po- lice department, and we’d feel safer knowing that they were the first responders to a crisis rather than, say, the guy in the orange sweatshirt from our physics lab. Adding more guns to a volatile situation would only serve to make the police response less effective and more prone to human error. When gunfire breaks out in a public setting, it’s not like a John Wayne movie. Crowds scatter. People scream. It’s hard to tell who or where the shooter is. It would be even harder for police — not to mention other armed citizens — to distinguish the “bad guy” if multiple shooters were firing guns at each other from various locations, regardless of their intent. As Austin Police Department Assistant Chief Troy Gay said in the March 14 hearing, “We [the APD] feel that it would just add more to the confusion.” It’s not only easy to imagine an ac- cidental escalation of the tragedy in such a situation, it’s hard to imagine anything else. Some don’t have to imagine. Claire Wilson James, a school- teacher from Texarkana who was shot by sniper Charles Whit- man at UT in 1966, recalled bleeding on the ground for 90 minutes while various armed citizens converged on the Tower attempting to take Whitman out. “They only made it worse,” James told the Austin American-Statesman before testifying at the hearing. “They actually made the situation more dan- gerous and put the people who were trying to save us at risk.” State Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, R-Southlake, who filed one of the bills up for debate, backed up his initiative with a state- ment on his website saying in part, “We have a strong certifi- cation process here in Texas and concealed handgun licensees have gone through a thorough background check.” While we’re skeptical that the 10-hour certification course required by sec- tion 411.188 of the Texas Government Code fully qualifies aver- age citizens to deal with crises effectively, it’s beside the point. Even in the unlikely event that every armed student or professor on the scene was as qualified as any law enforcement officer, the same confusion and lack of coordination would reign between them and the police — with potentially disastrous results. The last thing anyone needs is the “good guys” shooting at each other. As far as the initiatives being discussed in the Legislature are concerned, we’re open to the proposal of House Higher Education Committee Chairman Rep. Dan Branch, R-Dallas, who has suggested allowing universities to decide for them- selves whether or not to allow concealed firearms. “I’m not sure there’s a need for a one-size-fits-all on this issue,” Branch said at a public event at the LBJ School of Public Affairs in January. We hope a bill to that effect is added to the mix. Such a concilia- tory measure would allow UT, whose administration and stu- dent representatives both adamantly oppose guns on campus, to continue prohibiting them, while allowing other universities that so desire to end the ban. Under such a system, the presence of concealed firearms on campus would be another factor in a student or professor’s decision to go to a particular school. We stand with UT President William Powers, Jr., UT Sys- tem Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa, UT Student Government and the Austin Police Department in strong opposition to concealed carry on campus. The only shootout UT needs is the one on the football field with that school in Oklahoma. 4A OpinionEditor-in-Chief Susannah JacobOpinion4Monday, March 18, 2013Travis KnollDaily Texan ColumnistRegnerus must accept responsibilityGood guys shooting good guysLEGALESE | Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article or cartoonist.

VIEWPOINTGALLERYGALLERYA UT professor’s study questioning the aca- demic consensus that children raised by gay parents are as healthy as those raised by straight parents has become part of the news coverage of gay rights cases pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. The American Independent, a progressive news organization, ran a story on March 10 questioning sociology professor Mark Regnerus’ assertion that his study, which found that children raised by same-sex couples fare worse than those raised in traditional fam- ilies, was not influenced by his largest funder, the conservative think tank The Witherspoon Foundation. The Independent alleges in the story that William Bradford Wilcox, then- director of Witherspoon’s Program on Family, Marriage and Democracy, helped with data analysis and suggested venues for publication. The Independent further alleges that emails show Regnerus’ funders expressed their desire for the study to be released before the Supreme Court decided on the constitutionality of Cali- fornia’s Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the questions raised in the case pending before it. According to emails obtained by the Independent, Regnerus him- self asked Wilcox to clarify the funders’ expec- tations for their “optimal timeline” and “hopes for what emerges from the project.” Although the American Independent’s news report is not the final word, it raises serious questions about Regnerus’ intentions and straightforwardness. That Regnerus, with his academic pedigree, would produce such a slapdash study is trou- bling. More dangerous, however, is his non- chalant attitude toward the misuse of his study by conservative groups. The study has been cited as evidence against same-sex marriage in various federal courts and in United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry, the two gay marriage cases pending before the Su- preme Court. When he spoke with me, Regn- erus said he does not concern himself with the legal value of his study, does not follow legal proceedings and does not know how the study would be used in legal arguments about adop- tion. This comes despite the study’s original warning that it “cannot broach the question of causation” and Regnerus’ own admission that the study does not analyze “parenting prac- tices.” His hand-washing, while expedient, is disingenuous and betrays the academic pres- tige granted to him by UT. Academics have a certain responsibility. In his 1967 essay “The Responsibility of Intel- lectuals”, MIT linguist and political activist Noam Chomsky writes, “Intellectuals are in a position to expose the lies of governments, to analyze actions according to their causes and motives and often hidden intentions.” In ex- change for this responsibility, intellectuals are afforded a degree of protection, of immunity from political attacks and, as Chomsky writes, “the leisure, the facilities, and the training to seek the truth ... behind a veil of distortion.” Regnerus himself has admitted the benefits of this protection. In responding to my ques- tions about his study, he wrote in November, “I’m grateful that UT has been a place where- in I could study this subject. It has not been easy, of course, but how else can scholars do this apart from the protection of institutions? Academic freedom is a pretty big deal.” Although I agree that academics should be afforded some institutional protection, Reg- nerus undermines his own legitimacy and that of the University as a whole when he is not fully transparent about Witherspoon’s involvement and when he remains silent as his study is misused at the highest levels of our government. I do not expect that Regn- erus will retract his study entirely, but to sit by while others deliberately misconstrue one’s work is unacceptable. To clear up any questions about his inten- tions, Regnerus should change course and speak out publicly against the use of his study in legal arguments. He does not need to sup- port gay marriage or parenting. But he should care enough about his credibility to request that his study be removed from future legal debates. If Regnerus does not take responsi- bility for his study and its effects, he will have deserved much of the backlash he has received. Knoll is a Latin American Studies senior from Dallas.

The office of Legal Services for Students offers free legal advice to UT students on any legal issue, including criminal charges. Sylvia Holmes, an at- torney for UT’s Legal Services for Students, said she sees many students who have tick- ets for underage drinking or public intoxication after spring break. Holmes said she wants students to remember her of- fice is available to help stu- dents who might have gotten in trouble during the break. “Do not delay in seeking out help and advice,” Holmes said. Holmes said students should not pay any fines without seeking advice from an attorney. She said in many cases, students can get lower fines or charges, depending on circumstances and county that issued the ticket. “You do not want to just pay fines without finding out what you’re doing first,” Holmes said. Holmes also said she might see students who are facing fed- eral charges for crossing state borders with marijuana. Before Spring Break, Holmes said she was concerned students would visit Colorado, where marijuana is now legal and bring it back to Texas. Bring- ing marijuana across state bor- ders violates state commerce laws, which is more serious than a marijuana offense. Students can register for an appointment online at http:// deanofstudents.utexas.edu/lss/ appointment.php. Holmes said if they cannot make an ap- pointment with UT’s legal ser- vices, they should contact any criminal attorney. Most crimi- nal attorneys do not charge for an initial consultation. Legal Services for Students also helps students with job contracts, non-disclosure agreements, launching new businesses and leasing. —Bobby BlanchardIt was St. Patrick’s Day, but the crowd at the High Times Doobie Awards wore green to celebrate a more illicit occasion. The annual Doobie Awards were held inside the aptly named Red Eyed Fly as part of the tail end of the South By Southwest music festival. The party, hosted by High Times magazine, honored the year’s “highest music,” presenting bongs as trophies to artists who have marijuana-related themes in their music and appeal to the culture or advo- cate for legalization. At the party, jazz-tinged reggae music permeated thick clouds of smoke that rose from the stage area. Many in attendance sported dark glasses and smoked marijuana openly. The smell of cannabis was eas- ily detected from outside the venue. There was mini- mum security in or outside the event. Bobby Black, who orga- nized and hosted the awards ceremony and is senior edi- tor and columnist for High Times, said the use of canna- bis inside the venue was akin to civil disobedience and in- dicative of changing attitudes regarding its legality. “We’ve never had any problems with police, or any of the venues that we’ve had the party in,” Black said, noting that High Times has hosted the Doobie Awards annually for 10 years. “This is an act of civil disobedi- ence, if you will. But it’s a very mellow act of civil dis- obedience. There’s no anger involved. We respect the law and law enforcement, but re- spectfully disagree with cer- tain things regarding weed.” Representatives from the San Antonio, Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth chapters of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws were in attendance. Veronica Navarro, a vol- unteer with the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of NORML, expressed her frustrations with current drug policies, and said the Doobie Awards help her organization raise awareness. “The drug policies in this state are ridiculous,” Navar- ro said. “DFW NORML was banned from the Dallas St. Patrick’s Parade and Festival yesterday. Meanwhile you have all these alcohol spon- sors, and the NORML are the most laid back people you’ll ever meet. Texas is a tough state. But if you look around, you can see the con- sensus. A lot of people are ready for [marijuana to be legalized]. It’s just a matter of raising awareness.” Topher Belsher, social outreach director for Texas NORML, said the Doobie Awards help raise awareness but also noted a paradigm shift throughout the state that has led to increased ex- posure for marijuana advo- cates in Texas. “In the last three to four months alone since Colo- rado and Washington le- galized, we’ve gotten more requests for TV interviews, newspaper interviews and radio interviews than we’ve gotten in the two years prior to that,” Belsher said. “Peo- ple are realizing that these drug policies are modern- day Jim Crow laws. They are aimed at minorities and people of lower class stature. They’re racist policies.” A bill filed in the Texas Senate will increase the pen- alty for leaving the scene of a hit-and-run that results in a fatality. The bill, co-sponsored by Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, and Sen. Wendy Davis, D- Fort Worth, will change the status of hit-and-run charg- es from a third degree felony to a second degree felony, increasing the maximum punishment from 10 years in prison to 20 years. “The goal of this bill is certainly to remove any in- centive for individuals to leave the scene of an acci- dent,” Watson said. “But it’s also to encourage more peo- ple to do the right thing, in a bad set of circumstances, and actually save a life.” The bill was filed in re- sponse to constituent de- mands following a hit- and-run accident involving legislative aide Gabrielle Nestande, who was charged with criminally negligent homicide after hitting pe- destrian Courtney Griffin and fleeing the scene. Nestande has not been formerly sentenced, but the jury recommended 10 years of probation. She was not convicted of the other charges levied against her, which included in- toxication manslaugh- ter and manslaughter and could have resulted in heavier sentencing. Last year, Kylie Doniak, a UT soccer player, was seri- ously injured in a hit and run accident. The driver, Nicho- las Colunga, was charged with intoxication assault and failure to stop and render aid, both of which are cur- rently third-degree felonies. Although Doniak sur- vived the accident, she sus- tained severe injuries that led to long-term physical therapy and withdrawal from the University. The proposed bill does not in- crease punishments for hit- and-run charges that do not result in a fatality, which the Doniak family considers an oversight. “The proposed bill should increase the penalty for all hit- and-run drivers, not just those whose actions result in a fatal- ity,” the Doniak family said in an statement e-mailed by their attorney. “The penalty for the crime should not be less if the victim lives, but suffers life- long injuries.” Both the Doniak family and Griffin’s mother, Laurie Griffin, are suing the bars where Colunga and Nes- tande had been the nights of the accidents. “Legislators should enact laws that require bar own- ers in Texas to carry liquor liability insurance to provide for the catastrophic dam- ages caused by over-served patrons,” the Doniak family said in the statement, Watson said he hopes this bill will encourage people to help. “First responders often talk about the ‘golden hour’ of trauma care following a se- rious and potentially deadly accident,” Watson said. “My sincere belief is that with this bill, more people will remain at the scene of a potentially fatal accident to call 911 and get help to victims.” NEWS BRIEFLYBy Klarissa FitzpatrickProposed law would increase sentence for hit-and-run drivers83RD LEGISLATURE By Alberto LongDoobie Awards recognizes weed-related musicCITYCharlie Pearce | Daily Texan StaffComedian and pot advocate, Doug Bensen, presents the “Pot Song of the Year” award at the High Times Doobie Awards on Sunday. doobie Award Winners2013 High Times Lifetime Achievement award winnerJimmy Clifton Past winners include2012 George Clinton 2011 Dimebag Darrell 2010 Cypress Hill 2009 Johnny Winter 2008 Blue Cheer 2007 Willie Nelson The Longhorns finally ran out of time — a fitting ending to a rebuilding season. Texas (12-18, 5-13) dropped their final game of the season to Kansas State 51- 49 in the first round of the Big 12 Championships in Dallas. The teams were about as close as possible on every section of the stat sheet, but the Wildcats ended the Longhorns’ season on a buzzer beating lay-up. The game began with the Longhorns struggling to find open shots as the Wildcats did a solid job of forcing the ball out of the paint for a dominant Longhorn front court. Despite the blanket Kansas State used to foil the Texas game plan, the Longhorns only trailed 27-17 at halftime. In the second half the teams traded shot for shot for the first ten minutes before the Longhorns took their first lead since the opening minute of the game, 38-37 at the 7:59 mark. The Longhorns kept the lead for much of the final eight minutes, but Brittany Cham- bers scored two of her game- high 20 points in the final sec- onds to capture a Wildcat win. Texas shot 33.8 percent to Kansas State’s 35.3 percent from the field, grabbing 39 rebounds to the Wildcat’s 38. The Longhorns even tallied their lowest turnovers total of the season with six, compared to Kansas State’s 16. However, time sim- ply ran out with another opportunity lost. Imani McGee-Stafford led the Longhorns in the con- test with 15 points and 10 rebounds to record her team- leading 13th double-double of the season. The game capped off a tremendous freshman season for McGee-Stafford, who was named Big 12 Fresh- man of the Year and All-Big 12 First Team a few days before. Nneka Enemkpali chipped After falling to Kansas State in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament last Thursday, Texas will face Houston in the first round of the College Basketball In- vitational on Wednesday, ac- cording to texassports.com. The Longhorns (16-17) needed to win the Big 12 tournament to reach the NCAA Tournament for the 15th straight time but won’t be going to the Big Dance for the first time under head coach Rick Barnes. Texas will be making its first appearance in the 16- team CBI, which began in 2008. Pittsburgh won the CBI last season after going 17-16 in the regular season. Oregon (16-17) in 2011 and Oregon State (13-17) in 2009 lost 17 games in the regular season before winning the CBI. VCU won the CBI in 2010 and Tul- sa won it in 2008. Texas beat TCU, 70-57, in the first round of the Big 12 tournament last Wednesday before losing to Kansas State, 66-49, on Thursday. Julien Lewis hit four three-pointers and scored a game-high 19 points in the win, the Longhorns’ third straight, while fellow sopho- more Sheldon McClellan, who also came off the bench, scored 12 points. Texas improved to 6-3 with Myck Kabongo, who had 16 points and eight assists, on the floor. For the first time since Kabongo’s return from his 23-game suspension, Mc- Clellan and Cameron Ridley started against Kansas State. But the move didn’t make much of a difference. The Wildcats, who beat Texas by 26 and 12 points in their two regular season meetings, didn’t lead by double digits until an 11-0 second-half run left them up by 18.

Texas lost to K-State in the first round of the Big 12 tournament. Kansas State ends rough yearBy Matt WardenHorns look back at bitter 2013 seasonSIDELINENBASPORTS BRIEFLY“Just got invited to New York for the draft.. Blessed.” Kenny Vaccaro@KennyVaccaro4TOP TWEETConnor Lammert: His overall numbers for the year aren’t overwhelming, and he began to tail off as the season waned but Lam- mert made the most of his freshman season. His best performances came down the stretch when the Long- horns absolutely needed wins, but in the end it proved to be too little, too late for his team. Lammert’s length and soft shooting touch give Texas an outside scorer that can also crash the boards when needed. Lammert’s tenacity late in games showed Rick Barnes he can hang with anyone and isn’t afraid to hit the deck for a loose ball. If he can continue to stretch de- fenses with his outside shot and make big defensive plays he will enjoy a fruitful career at Texas. Jaylen Bond: The sophomore big man was in line to have a breakout year after averaging 15 minutes of playing time last year. This season Bond suffered a foot injury during a game against Chaminade and would go on to miss nine con- secutive games. During a time when the Longhorns were without the suspended Myck Kabongo, Bond’s presence on the glass was sorely missed. There were also times when Bond seemed to think his 6-foot-7 frame was better suit- ed to shoot contested jumpers rather than clear out space on the low block. Bond has some work to do if he is to improve on this season where he played in 20 games and averaged less than three points per game. —Nick CremonaC: This may have been the worst season Texas has endured under the guidance of Rick Barnes, but it had been a few years in the making. Give Barnes credit for consistently convincing some of the best athletes to don a Texas uniform, even if it was only for a year or two. Names like Cory Joseph, Tristan Thompson and Jordan Hamilton come to mind, and while they were great during their time as Longhorns, it is tough to build a perennial power when multiple players are declaring for the NBA Draft nearly every year. It’s no secret Kabongo has had his eye on the NBA since step- ping foot on the 40 Acres, but as far as the rest of Barnes’ team goes, it should stay intact. Barnes has been around long enough to know what his team needs to improve upon in order to compete, so a grade of C seems fair for a coach that had a grand total of zero upperclassmen that recorded meaningful minutes during this season. Sheldon McClellan: Despite being benched in a handful of games, McClellan was the Longhorns’ most consistent scorer. When he isn’t slumping he’s capable of scoring in bunches, and as he matures his game will evolve so that he can involve his teammates as well. There’s no indication at the moment that McClellan has any plans of jumping ship and heading to the NBA, so his future is as bright as ever. He’ll return as the team’s leading scorer, and after showing some reluctance to shoot the ball early on this season, he seems to be realizing that he is the Longhorns’ primary scoring option until some- one takes the crown from him. Barnes’ and McClellan’s relationship has been tenuous at times, but it is in both of their best interest for McClellan to continue to be the go-to option on offense. McClellan’s defensive game is another story, but with his deft scoring ability Barnes should be willing to take what he can get from the sophomore. Brady Sanders: While Brady Sanders’ name ap- peared at the beginning of the year, it definitely ap- peared a lot more frequently toward the end of the season. The redshirt freshman was a key player off the bench and brought a spark and enthusi- asm to the court when need- ed. While her season statistics weren’t suburb, she ended the year with 4.4 points per game with 73 turnovers and 53 as- sists, giving energy to the team down the stretch when Texas needed it most. —Garrett CallahanCokie Reed: Reed came into the season as the most hyped play- er on this Texas team. Head coach Karen Aston looked to her as a “team mom” to teach her young teammates the ropes. However, in early January, Reed and teammate Chelsea Bass announced their retirement from the team. Reed stated the cause to be “exer- cise-induced hypertension” and said it was time for her to focus on things other than basketball. While Imani McGee-Stafford did a good job of replacing her, another strong presence in the paint might have given Texas a few more wins on the board. C+: Aston came into her first season as the Longhorns’ head coach with a lot of expectations, but she had many obstacles to work around. Most of the fresh- men and new players coming in were signed under former head coach Gail Goestenkors. In addition, Aston was given a very young and inexperienced team to work with that she brought to maturity by the end of the season. However, Aston has had experience as a head coach before Texas. She was head coach at Charlotte for four years before she spent one sea- son at North Texas. In addition, she spent eight years at Texas as an assistant under Hall of Fame coach Jody Conradt. With her experience and knowledge it took a little too long for her team to mesh and fix some consistent key mistakes in the beginning of the season. COACH’S GRADEChassidy Fussell: The junior out of Tennessee led the Long- horns in almost all parts of the offense this season. She tallied 14.2 points a game with a 78.9 shooting percentage. However, she was more than a leader on the court. As the oldest player on the team she lead her young squad of Longhorns off the court as well. After a small slow streak in the middle of the season, ac- cording to Aston, she spent countless hours in the gym trying to get her shot back and be a role model for her team. Fussell will come back next year with the potential to be an even bigger threat for Texas on both sides of the ball. BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENTMVPIMANI continues on page 7CBI continues on page 7Three Longhorns return with honorsThe 2013 NCAA In- door Championships concluded on March 9 and of the four competi- tors Texas sent to Fay- etteville, Ark., three came back as All-Americans. Senior thrower Hayden Baillio and senior hur- dler Keiron Stewart are familiar with the honor, marking their fourth and fifth time as All-Ameri- cans, and were joined on the All-American list by a new face to the Long- horns — freshman pen- tathlete Johannes Hock. Senior Joe Stilin com- peted in the mile, but failed to qualify for the final heat in his event. Stewart surpassed his own school record in the semi- final heat of the 60-meter hurdles with a 7.63 second mark, but failed to place in the final heat after not clearing his second hurdle cleanly enough. —Louis San Miguel MAGICBUCKS KNICKSCLIPPERS NCAAMUNC(9) MIAMI OLE MISS(13) FLORIDA THUNDERMAVERICKS LONGHORNS IN THE NBA Kevin Durant- 31 points- 9 rebounds The Longhorns had a habit of squandering on-base situ- ations over spring break, but despite this the Longhorns still had enough to finish the week 5-2. In game three against the Red Raiders on St. Patrick’s Day, freshman Ben Johnson wasn’t going to let another potential scoring situation go to waste. With two outs and one on, Johnson smacked a ball out of left field to put the Longhorns tempo- rarily up 2-0. “I have talked a lot about the spirit of this team and the chemistry of this team, but you have seen it in the last 18 innings,” Texas head coach Augie Garrido said. “Are we at full throttle? No. Are we all connected from 1-9? No … but we are growing.” To open up the weekend, the Longhorns (12-7, 1-2) hosted the University of Cali- fornia Santa Barbara for a three game series that featured high offensive performance from the Longhorns as they outscored UC Santa Barbara 19-9 in the three game sweep. On Friday, game one, The Longhorns defeated the Gauchos 5-1 on the arm of sophomore Parker French on the mound. In game two, freshman C.J Hinojosa had his second walk-off hit of the year, a walk-off dou- ble to grab the series win for the Longhorns. In game three, the Texas bats exploded for an 11-6 vic- tory to finish the sweep. Both Johnson and freshman Jeremy Montalbano had home run shots in the victory. The Longhorns defeated Oral Roberts 4-3 in a mid- week game at UFCU Disch- Falk Field. With the scored tied in the eighth, Weston Hall plated second baseman Brooks Marlow for the vic- tory. Closer Corey Knebel grabbed the win despite al- lowing two runs in the top of the eighth. Texas opened its Big 12 conference season at the end of spring break at home against Texas Tech. The Long- horns participated in a pitch- ing battle with the Red Raid- ers and though the games were close, the Longhorns dropped the series 1-2 which gave the Red Raiders their first series win since 2002 over the Longhorns. The Red Raiders took game one 1-0 — the Long- horns first shutout since March of 2012. Reliever Ty Marlow was credited with the loss after allowing a solo home run in the top of the seventh. Game two went to the Longhorns, who tied the series with a 2-1 win. Junior catcher Jacob Felts got the second walk-off of the week with a double in the ninth. On Sunday afternoon, the Red Raiders didn’t waste any time and responded to Johnson’s home run with two runs in the third to tie the score. They tacked on two more runs, one in the sixth and one in the sev- enth, to put the Longhorns down 2-4 and hand them the loss.

Enemkpali provided the backbone for the strong Longhorn front court all sea- son long, finishing the year averaging 13 points and 9.4 re- bounds per game. Junior Chassidy Fussell ended the season averaging a team-best 14.2 points per game but saw her shooting talent come and go throughout the year. Fussell has been the vet- eran leader for the Longhorns all season and will look to im- prove on her streaky output in her final season as a Longhorn next year. Freshman Empress Daven- port finished the season aver- aging 8.3 points while starting 27 of Texas’ 30 games. Redshirt freshman Brady Sanders ap- peared in all 30 games for the Longhorns and proved to be a valuable go-to scorer for the team, much like Davenport. In spite of a ninth place fin- ish in the Big 12, the future appears very bright for the Longhorns. Texas emerged as a team that makes its living by at- tacking the glass, posting a plus 9.2 rebounding margin against its opponents, which was good enough for 10th in the nation. Although the Longhorns let a lot of winnable games slip away, and did themselves no favors with an average of 20.3 turnovers per game, they re- ceived valuable experience and minutes from young players who are poised to flourish in seasons to come. Although Karen Aston will be forced to deal with a lot of miscues and mistakes when examining the game film of her first season as Texas’ head coach, she has a lot of positives to look back on as well. It wasn’t a pretty season by any stretch of the imagination, but flashes of dominance and resiliency to go along with the return of all of its players next season should give the Long- horns nothing but hope.

In their only postseason game against Houston, the Longhorns beat the No. 19 Cougars, 85-74, in the first round of the 1972 NCAA Tournament. Texas and Houston, who were both in the Southwest Conference from 1976-1996, will square off at the University of Hous- ton on Wednesday. The last time the Long- horns played in Hous- ton was when they fell to UCLA, 65-63, on Dec. 8 at Reliant Stadium. The only time Texas par- ticipated in postseason play in Houston was in 2008.

The Longhorns started the classic with a 3-0 loss to No. 2 Arizona State, be- fore tallying four straight wins against Penn State, No. 18 Washington, North Carolina State and DePaul. On Thursday, Arizona State (27-1) broke a score- less tie in the fifth inning on Alix Johnson’s RBI double helping propel Arizona State to a 3-0 victory over Texas. Blaire Luna picked up her first loss of the season, despite allowing just three hits. Texas could not mus- ter any offense off Arizona State’s elite pitcher, Dallas Escobedo. The Longhorns recorded just three hits while striking out 13 times. On Friday, the Longhorns swept Penn State and Wash- ington with little trouble. Freshman Erin Shireman sparked the offense in the first game against the Nitta- ny Lions with a tie-breaking third-inning RBI single that plated the winning-run in pace to a 8-4 win while fresh- man Holly Kern (4-3) picked up the win. Against the Huskies, Luna redeemed her first loss of the season with a two-hit, 16-strikeout complete game in a 4-1 win. Junior Taylor Thom hit a two-run homer and plated another to extend her hot streak and pace the Texas offense. On Saturday, the Long- horns swept again. Taylor Hoagland powered the Longhorns against North Carolina State to a 7-4 win behind her two home-runs. Luna pitched the first six allowing three hits and three earned runs to bring her season record to 13-1. Sophomore Gabby Smith closed the game, picking up her first save of the season. In the second game, Hoa- gland blasted another hom- er, making three on the day, to propel Texas over DePaul 8-3. Kern allowed 11 hits to an inferior team, but the Longhorns offense was able to bail her out and help her earn her fifth victory. Four DePaul errors lead to four unearned runs for Texas. The Longhorns return to action Saturday to be- gin the conference season against Baylor in Waco.

Elisabeth Dillon | Daily Texan Staff Junior Jacob Felts walks back to the plate during Saturday’s game against Texas Tech. Felts hit a walk-off double in the sixth inning. DIIV: The androgyneous lead singer of DIIV, Zachary Cole Smith, stole our hearts with his “Fuck South By” comment, but we first fell in love during their live show at Mohawk Tuesday night. The Brooklyn band played the indie rocker role with long hair, denim shirts and tight pants. DIIV was situated in the midst of other enjoyable sets includ- ing Cloud Nothings and Marnie Stern, but they had a different sound: less loud, punk rock and more danceable. Though the band said they hated South By, we are glad they came to Austin and glad we caught one of their shows. Sleigh Bells: Lead singer Alexis Krauss ar- rived on the stage with the attitude, flair and dance moves we had been waiting for all day. Sleigh Bells was not our favorite band before the concert and they probably aren’t now, but this set was enjoyable and engaging. Krauss crowd-surfed without abandon, threw bottles of water onto the crowd and head-banged more than a metal band. Sleigh Bells lived up to all of the Myspace Secret Show anticipa- tion, and their music lived on in our partially- deaf ears for hours after. The Flaming Lips: Even though we watched eight people get too drunk, and all the hat- ers are continuing to hate, we still really enjoyed The Flaming Lips Auditori- um Shores performance. Frontman Wayne Coyne began the show with a disclaimer that the band would be playing the en- tirety of their upcoming album “The Terror.” We enjoyed the dark twists the new album takes, but fans were leaving Auditorium Shores in droves through- out the performance — which was complete with topless women in ham- ster balls and illuminat- ed baby dolls. We stuck around to catch the end of the set, where Coyne ditched the baby doll and performed several songs from their 2002 album “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.” Dillon Francis: Dillon Francis began the sec- ond Myspace Secret Show with “Shout” and it all went quickly down- hill from there. Though Francis came out look- ing smooth in a skinny tie and blazer, his show was anything but. The DJ’s hit music set had no continuity and even less momentum. Any time the audience began to bob and sway along with Francis’ beats, he would immediately shut it down with some slow oldies song that no one knew how to dance to. If Myspace’s plan was to sandwich Sleigh Bells between two bands that would make them look awesome, it sure worked. Jim James: Not only did Jim James have a Flying V guitar, but he didn’t even hold it himself. We loved My Morning Jacket throughout middle school, but James’ Au- ditorium Shores performance was one of the worst things we’ve ever seen. When he wasn’t pacing back and forth across the front of the stage, he was violently shaking his curly hair in true seventies rock star style. But James is not a seventies rock star. James is actually the furthest thing from a seventies rock star. The only thing that kept us through his mind-numbingly horrific set was the promise of the Flaming Lips shortly after. Family of the Year: One of Family of the Year’s songs is featured in an Advil com- mercial, which is exactly what we needed to get through this show. The band came on stage looking like a typical indie band, with a long haired lead singer and a girl with lavender hair, but things quickly fell apart. They seriously sang the lyric “you bring the ocean, I’ll bring the motion, together we’ll make a love potion.” We wouldn’t be surprised if Family of the Year lyr- ics were the next Facebook status of every high schooler. This year’s South By Southwest boasted such an impressive line-up that Tex- an film critic Alex Williams saw 30 movies during the nine days of the festival and still managed to miss plenty of notable films. These are short reviews of his favorite films of the festival, writ- ten between watching films, eating BBQ and getting very little sleep. THE SPECTACULAR NOW (In theaters this August) Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley cement their sta- tus as two of the most prom- ising young actors working today in “The Spectacular Now,” a profoundly affect- ing teen romance and, for my money, the best film of SXSW. The gorgeously observed screenplay from “500 Days of Summer” scribes Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber casts Teller and Woodley’s char- acters as lovestruck teens who influence each other in ways both beneficial and toxic, and their relationship is powerfully defined and unflinchingly honest. “The Spectacular Now” con- nects on a raw emotional level, and the strength of this story and these per- formances should not be underestimated. SHORT TERM 12 (Still seeking distribution) The winner of Grand Jury and Audience Awards at SXSW, “Short Term 12” stars Brie Larson as Grace, a supervisor at a home for kids at risk. Grace’s life is thrown into turmoil as a perfect storm of circum- stances involving her boy- friend (John Gallagher Jr.) and a new arrival at the home (Kaitlyn Dever) forces her to confront some dark truths about her past. Larson’s performance is intense, and she portrays Grace’s commitment to her job with a natural tough- ness and compassion. “Short Term 12” is at its best when it takes extended looks into the heads of the facility’s tenants. The way these damaged teens ex- press themselves manifests into beautiful, poignant moments, and the detailed character work, nuanced script and strong perfor- mances made the film stand out in this year’s formidable line-up. YOU’RE NEXT (In theaters August 23) “You’re Next” played at Toronto Film Festival and Fantastic Fest in 2011 be- fore disappearing from the face of the earth, and it resurfaced to remarkable audience acclaim at SXSW. The hugely entertain- ing horror-comedy places a family at each other’s throats before unknown intruders start shooting crossbows through win- dows, and it only gets more nuts from there. Sharni Vinson gives a steely, sur- prising performance as an unlucky significant other trapped in the on- slaught, and director Adam Wingard displays a sharp, twisted sense of humor. If the film’s reception at SXSW is any indicator, this one will be thrilling midnight crowds for years to come. MUD (In theaters April 26) One of the only films at the festival to be screened in 35mm, “Mud” is also one of the most visually stunning, and director Jeff Nichols captures the Mississippi Riv- er with elegant, immersive imagery. On a remote bank of the river, young boys Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) stumble upon a fugitive (Matthew McConaughey). The bond they form is a hes- itant but essential one, and Nichols lets “Mud”’s story unfold at a natural, impecca- bly structured pace, packing the film with earnest, hope- ful and exciting moments. In just three films, Nichols has mastered telling stories about Southern masculin- ity, and “Mud” is his most rewarding effort to date. V/H/S/2 (In theaters this summer) A Baskin Robbins of hor- ror cinema, “V/H/S/2” is a rare anthology without a bum segment and a strong second installment in the budding horror franchise. Shorts from Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett, Jason Eisener and Eduardo Sanchez bring creativity and chills, but they all pale in compari- son to a short directed by The Raid’s Gareth Evans. The tale of a documentary crew invited into a secretive cult’s compound escalates into a spine-tingling assault on the audience, a deeply unnerving variety pack of terrors that’s a surefire con- tender for the horror hall of fame. 8 L&ASomething’s HappeningNOW!TSTV24SEVEN LIVE MARATHONMarch 24th - 30thCHANNELS: Antenna 29.1 • Dorms 15 • Cable 16ONLINE: TexasStudentTV.comFor More Info: Manager@TexasStudentTV.comor Marketing@TexasStudentTV.com Kelsey McKinney, Life & Arts Editor Life & Arts8Monday, March 18, 2013SXSW hits high, low notesBy Alex WilliamsJoshua Guerra | Daily Texan Staff The Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne performs with a plastic baby doll at Auditorium Shores on Friday evening.
