Bev Kearney, former women’s track and field coach, is alleging she was “singled out and treated dif- ferently” than her male, non- African American counter- parts, according to her filed complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission. “I believe that I was sub- jected to a severely hostile work environment and con- structively discharged by forcing me to resign in lieu of being fired because of my race, color and gender,” Ke- arney said in the complaint. In her complaint, Kear- ney alleges she was publicly demeaned and falsely ac- cused of NCAA violations by Bubba Thornton, men’s track and field head coach; she was harassed and her complaints were ignored by administra- tors; she was not given sal- ary raises granted to other coaches; and she was told she was being fired for vio- lating an “unwritten” policy, despite colleagues not receiv- ing the same treatment for similar acts. Kearney’s attorney, Derek Howard, said he filed the Tari Jordan wants to teach elementary school English, and Free Minds, a program administrated out of UT, is helping her to do it. “I thought I knew so much al- ready,” Jordan said. “I don’t want it to end. I love the professors.” Jordan, a mother of two, said the program should help her go to college and pursue her dream. Free Minds’ free humanities course, which she is enrolled in, took a field trip to UT this weekend in a bid to draw inspiration from the Blan- ton Museum’s collection. The seven-year-old program is a collaboration between the Uni- versity’s Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, Austin Community College and Foundation Communities. “We want them to become comfortable being on a col- lege campus and to feel that they belong there,” program The South Mall was soaked with dyes and water Sunday, as students partook in the Hindu Students As- sociation’s tenth Holi event. The event was intended to celebrate cultural diver- sity and to parallel the In- dian holiday, also known as the Festival of Colors or the “spring festival.” “In India, this is a big deal,” HSA CEO and Presi- dent Swati Verma said. “This is the beginning of the farming season.” Verma said she hopes the event connects UT students with another culture and symbolically celebrates dif- ferences in color. “We’re all the same,” Ver- ma said. “We’re all people.” Sneha Gurajala, co-chair of the Holi event, said the event helps celebrate Indian culture. She said HSA mem- bers worked the lines and handed out shirts to people who knew what Holi was. “We put a lot of emphasis 1Monday, March 25, 2013@thedailytexanfacebook.com/dailytexanThe Daily TexanServing the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900dailytexanonline.com Longhorns clutch during pair of wins over Bears.

Tannifer Ayres, president of the emergency team, said Roundup 2013 was safer than previous Roundups and noted a lack of trauma- related injuries. “To my knowledge, we only treated minor injuries this weekend,” Ayres said. “I’ll have to look at the comprehensive report, but nothing stands out. In years past, we’ve had to treat a lot of trauma injuries. Last year, someone was stabbed outside a Roundup event.” Ayres said safety initiatives implemented for Roundup have made it a safer event to participate in, and she said even stricter initiatives will be imple- mented for Roundup 2014. “The frats did a good job providing security and med- ical detail,” Ayres said. “This year, the frats had us rolling from house to house.

The Barton Springs Pool Master Plan, adopted by the council in 2009, lists various improvements as a way to “re- turn the site to its former glo- ry,” according to the City of Austin. These improvements include working on the infra- structure of the pool, plant- ing and replacing trees in the area, replacing the fence and improving the water quality. Lewis Leff, chief of staff for Council Member Chris Ri- ley, said several of the changes would require bypassing cer- tain city ordinances to make structural changes. Several of these structural changes, in- cluding increasing parking and handicap accessibility, would require using more impervious surfaces. These are impenetra- ble surfaces including concrete and asphalt that can have nega- tive environmental effects on a natural area. “Some of the ideas being recommended by staff would require some variances to some ordinances that are in place,” Leff said. “The issues that are POOL continues on page 2COACH continues on page 2CAMPUSCITYLow-income program increases opportunities Students embrace Holi festival By Miles HutsonMINDS continues on page 2HOLI continues on page 2By Miles HutsonShweta Gulati | Daily Texan StaffPeople enjoy the festival of colors “Holi” at South Mall on Sunday.

Volume 113, Issue 126News2Monday, March 25, 2013complaint March 12 with the “Civil Rights and Discrimi- nation Division” of the Texas Workforce Commission. The commission has 180 days to investigate the complaint and determine whether Ke- arney has a right to sue. “Coach Kearney’s allega- tions of discrimination will be reviewed thoroughly and re- sponded to according to [the U.S. Equal Employment Op- portunity Commission] and Texas Workforce Commis- sion procedures,” said Patricia Ohlendorf, the University’s Vice President for Legal Af- fairs, in a statement last week. Kearney resigned in Janu- ary after being told the Uni- versity was prepared to fire her for a having a consensual relationship with a former student-athlete in 2002. In the complaint, she cites the Uni- versity’s handling of an incident concerning football offensive coordinator Major Applewhite as a “glaring example” of dif- fering treatment. Applewhite engaged in “inappropriate, consensual behavior with an adult student” in 2009. Apple- white’s salary was suspended for a year following the inci- dent, but he has since received promotions and raises. The complaint also levies several allegations of harass- ment by Thornton, who she alleges would speak negatively about her character, profes- sionalism and coaching abili- ties to others in the athletic department. She said while several administrators includ- ing head athletic directors De- Loss Dodds and Chris Plonsky acknowledged the harassment, they did nothing to stop it. A pair of 2004 letters sent from Kearney to Dodds high- lights a longstanding fric- tion between Kearney and Thornton. In the letters, ob- tained by The Daily Texan through the Texas Public In- formation Act, Kearney alleges Thornton offered her job to a coach at another university and would speak openly about becoming head coach of both men’s and women’s track and field programs. The complaint is filed against the entire University, not just the athletic depart- ment. In 2011, a former UT employee, Glyn Rogers, filed a complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission al- leging racial and retaliatory discrimination specifically against the athletic depart- ment, according to documents obtained by the Texan through the Texas Public Information Act. UT spokesman Gary Susswein said the case was dismissed by the Texas Work- force Commission and no lawsuits were filed. —Additional reporting by Hannah Jane DeCiuitiisand make us more efficient.” Donald James McNama- ra, president of the IFC, said the weekend went according to plan and cited the impor- tance of safety initiatives. “I haven’t looked at the com- prehensive incident report,” Mc- Namara said, “but to my knowl- edge, there were no serious injuries. Pretty good consider- ing we handed out over 19,000 of our 20,000 wristbands.” During the weekend, sev- eral parties were shut down by the Austin Police Department. On Saturday night, police re- sponded to a riot outside a West Campus concert featur- ing rapper Juicy J in which a crowd of about 200 attempted to break through a gate to gain entrance to the concert, ac- cording to an arrest affidavit. According to the affidavit, only one arrest was made after police broke up the crowd. Juicy J tweeted at 10 p.m. that police had shut down his con- cert. McNamara said most par- ties are shut down to promote the safety of those in attendance, and that police shut downs aren’t indicative of illicit activity more serious than fire hazards. “A lot of events are shut down because there are so many people,” McNamara said. “At capacity, a lot of these places can hold 6,000 people. We had close to 20,000 attend Roundup. The numbers get too high and the authorities have to shut down the parties to keep everyone safe.” McNamara said wristband distribution efforts contrib- uted to the weekend’s success. “In years past there have been a lot of problems,” Mc- Namara said. “Our teams this year did a great job get- ting the wristbands out in a timely manner. It kept every- thing very manageable.” coming up are based on some of the suggestions to do an [Americans with Disabilities Act] pass and suggestions to reach the parking, so you’re talking about pervious versus impervious coverings which is always a big deal.” Leff said the council item, which passed unanimously at the March 7 meeting, originally called for a public hearing to be held March 28. The item was amended to postpone the hearing un- til April 11 and instead hold a staff briefing on March 28 to allow city staff to outline possible variances and op- tions for the council. “[The hearing was held] so that folks would come talk about those improve- ments and if they agree we should be doing variances on certain city codes to let the improvements be made,” Leff said. “The briefing will be useful to help council bet- ter understand the issues in- volved and to make a better decision about what to do.” Robin Cravey, former president of the Friends of Barton Springs Pool, said there has been too much caution around going for- ward with the plan. “I’m baffled by the idea that some people who have cried out over and over for public process now don’t want to go forward with public process,” Cravey said at the meeting. “This project is the culmination of three or four years of public pro- cess, and we went through a year of planned process in 2010. This was subsequent to 2007 when the council al- lotted funding for this proj- ect as a short-term project.” director Vive Griffith said. “The resources at UT are theirs to explore and use.” Free Minds aims to help its students, some of whom have never been in a college class, ad- vance themselves in their career paths and lives by using its les- sons to potentially go on to ed- ucation elsewhere. The group hosts a bi-weekly nine-month course at the M Station apart- ments in East Austin, where two UT professors, two ACC professors and one UT gradu- ate writing student spend both semesters teaching literature, philosophy, history, creative writing and sometimes drama. “We’re looking for motiva- tion, and then we’re looking for need,” Griffith said. “We’re targeting the people who have barriers in front of them.” To qualify, students must have a GED or high school di- ploma and be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. They must then write an essay and go through an in- terview for a shot at being a member of the 25-student course. Griffith, who teaches cre- ative writing in the course, said visiting the Blanton Museum is an opportunity to help with her lesson. Students were expected to write their own poetry on a piece of art after reading and seeing examples. Teachers in the program say they have learned from their students. Domino Perez, director of the Center for Mexican American Studies, associate English professor and a three- time teacher for the course’s literature unit, said she gets a different perspective from her students and admires how hard they work. “Working with people who have not had equal ac- cess to education has been humbling. Their mindset is completely different,” Perez said. “They teach me how to see familiar literature in new and exciting ways.” Perez said she hopes stu- dents see themselves from a different perspective as well. “I want them to think about themselves as students,” Perez said. “As critical thinkers engag- ing the world around them.” on this not just being a color dance party,” Gurajala said. The event, which ran from 1-4 p.m., involved ap- proximately 6,000 students. To provide these students with the dyes and wa- ter balloons they threw at each other throughout the festival, HSA ordered ten 55-pound bags of dye and handed out more than 1,000 water balloons at intervals throughout the event. The event also drew on the mu- sical talent of “DJ Chet.” Melody Rodsuwan, a senior from Thailand, said Holi reminds her of Thai- land’s water festival. Cary Kuo, an electri- cal engineering fresh- man, said he went to the event because it served as a nice break from his heavy workload. “I thought I’d take some time off from the life of a ‘double E,’” he said. “It seemed like a creative and cool event.” from page 1COACHcontinues from page 1POOLcontinues from page 1MINDScontinues from page 1NEWS BRIEFLYUGS dean candidates present on campusThe School of Under- graduate Studies is searching for a new dean, and candi- dates are in the process of visiting campus. Five candidates will visit to share presentations and speak with students and faculty. The finalists were se- lected by the school’s search committee, which includes UT faculty, staff and stu- dents who will help advise University President Wil- liam Powers Jr. Michael Morton, Senate of College Councils president and member of the search committee, said the visits will help determine the best option to fill the position. “It is very important for the dean candidates to come to campus and see how ev- erything operates,” Morton said. “It’s even more impor- tant for them to listen to students and get a firm grasp on the issues affecting them, because these are the issues they’ll be tasked to solve and address.” The candidates include Bernard Mair, the provost of undergraduate affairs and mathematics professor at the University of Florida, who visited campus Thursday. Selmer Bringsjord, chair- man of the Department of Cognitive Science at Rens- selaer Polytechnic Institute, will visit Tuesday.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met separately late Saturday with Palestin- ian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netan- yahu to talk about ending a deadlock of more than four years over settlements. Abbas says he won’t return to negotiations without an Is- raeli construction freeze, ar- guing that Israel’s building on war-won land pre-empts the outcome of talks on a border between Israel and a future state of Palestine. Abbas last held talks with Netanyahu’s predecessor in late 2008. Netanyahu has refused to halt construction and in- stead calls for an immediate return to negotiations. Presi- dent Barack Obama sided with Israel’s position dur- ing a visit to the region last week, saying the Palestinians should return to talks to sort out the settlement issue. The U.S. has not spoken publicly about possible compromises in recent days, though there has been some speculation it would propose a partial construc- tion stop in the West Bank heartland, east of Israel’s separation barrier. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said Sunday that the Palestinians do not seek a confrontation with the Obama administration, but appeared to suggest that nothing short of a full freeze will bring them back to negotiations. The Palestinians want a state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, areas Israel captured in 1967. Since that war, Israel has built dozens of settle- ments — considered ille- gal by much of the world and now home to more than half a million Israe- lis — in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Much of the construc- tion takes place in so- called “settlement blocs” close to Israel and in east Jerusalem. Israel’s separa- tion barrier cuts off east Jerusalem and some of the settlement blocs from the rest of the West Bank. BEIRUT — Syria’s oppo- sition plunged into disarray Sunday as its president quit and its military chief re- fused to recognize the new- ly elected prime minister of an interim government for rebel-held areas. The moves reflected deep splits in the body the U.S. and its allies hope will emerge as the united face of the opposition and advance the fight to topple President Bashar Assad’s regime. The missteps of the op- position’s mostly exile po- litical leadership drew little notice inside Syria, where rebel fighters dismissed it as ineffective and pushed ahead with their offensive to gain ground near the country’s southern border with Jordan. Nearby, the Israeli military in the Golan Heights responded to fire by shooting back at targets inside Syria. The first blow to the op- position Syrian National Coalition was the surprise resignation of its president, who said he was quitting in frustration over what he called lack of international support and constraints im- posed by the body itself. Mouaz al-Khatib, who rose to prominence as a preacher in Damascus’ most famous mosque, said in a statement posted on his Facebook page that he was making good on an ear- lier vow to quit if undefined “red lines” were crossed. Despite electing a new, U.S.-educated prime minister last week to head a planned interim government, the Coalition has failed to make much of a mark inside Syria, where hundreds of inde- pendent rebel brigades are fighting a civil war against Assad’s forces. Reflecting the grow- ing dissension over that move, the head of the Co- alition’s military branch, Gen. Salim Idris, said his group refused to rec- ognize the new prime minister, a little-known IT professional from Texas, because he lacked broad support among the opposition. “For the purpose of giving power to a prime minister to unite the revolutionary forces and lead the Syrian revolution toward certain victory, we unequivocally declare that the Free Syrian Army ... conditions its support and cooperation on the achievement of a political agreement on the name of a prime minister,” Idris said in an online video. BANGUI, Central Af- rican Republic — Rebels overthrew Central African Republic’s president of a decade on Sunday, seiz- ing the presidential pal- ace and declaring that the desperately poor country has “opened a new page in its history.” The country’s president fled the capital, officials said. The rebels’ invasion of the capital came just two months after they had signed a peace agree- ment that would have let President Francois Bozize serve until 2016. That deal unraveled in recent days, prompting the insurgents’ advance into Bangui and Bozize’s departure to a still unpublicized location. Witnesses and an ad- viser to Bozize said rebel trucks were traveling throughout the town on Sunday hours after the palace was seized. Former colonial power France confirmed the develop- ments, issuing a state- ment that said French President Francois Hol- lande “has taken note of the departure of President Francois Bozize.” “Central African Re- public has just opened a new page in its histo- ry,” said a communique signed by Justin Kombo Moustapha, secretary- general of the alliance of rebel groups known as Seleka. “The political com- mittee of the Seleka co- alition, made up of Cen- tral Africans of all kinds, calls on the population to remain calm and to prepare to welcome the revolutionary forces of Seleka,” it said. Central African Re- public has long been wracked by rebellions and power grabs. Bozize himself took power in 2003 following a re- bellion, and his tenure has been marked by conflict with myriad armed groups. PARIS — Paris police used tear gas and batons to fight crowds who pushed their way onto the landmark Champs-Elysees avenue and toward the presidential pal- ace as part of a huge protest against a draft law allowing same-sex couples to marry and adopt children. Hundreds of thousands of people — conservative activists, schoolchildren with their parents, retirees, priests — converged on the capital Sunday in a last- ditch bid to stop the bill, many bused in from the French provinces. The violence took pro- testers and police by sur- prise, and suggested that the anti-gay marriage protests have become outlets for an- ger and disappointment in the presidency of Francois Hollande’s presidency. The lower house of France’s parliament ap- proved the “marriage for everyone” bill last month with a large majority, and it’s facing a vote in the Senate next month. The first few hours of the protest were peaceful. But as it was meant to be winding down, about 100 youths tried to push past police barricades onto the Champs-Elysees. In an in- dication of the sensitivity of the issue, protesters had been barred from marching on the Champs. Police officers wran- gled with the youths and fired tear gas to force them back. Gaining mo- mentum, more and more protesters took side streets to reach the avenue, blocking a key intersection. The official estimated that 300,000 people took part in Sunday’s march, slightly less than a similar march in January. Orga- nizers estimated some 1.4 million people took part in Sunday’s march, more than in the January protest.

Family recovering from airport accidentMONTGOMERY, Ala. — A woman and two of her sons were improving Sun- day after being seriously injured when a flight in- formation billboard fell on them at an airport. A third son was killed Friday when the electronic board, weighing at least 300 pounds, fell from a wall at the Birmingham-Shuttles- worth International Airport. The boys’ mother, Heather Bresette, had broken ankles and a crushed pelvis. She had surgeries over the weekend, but she was still in intensive care and unconscious, Uni- versity Hospital spokeswom- an Nicole Wyatt said. The Bresettes, a fam- ily of seven, took a weeklong spring break vacation to Des- tin, Fla., and were about to fly home to Overland Park, Kan., when the flight infor- mation panel fell. Powerball ticket info to be relased MondayTRENTON, N.J. — Details on where and when the win- ning ticket for a $338.3 mil- lion Powerball drawing, held Saturday, was purchased and other related information were not disclosed Sunday by New Jersey Lottery officials, who also would not say if anyone claiming to hold the ticket had contacted them as of Sunday afternoon. They said information on the ticket would be re- leased at a news conference on Monday morning at the lottery’s headquarters in Lawrenceville. Lottery officials say it was the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history. The num- bers drawn were 17, 29, 31, 52, 53 and Powerball 31. A lump sum payout would be $221 million. No one had won the Pow- erball jackpot since early February. Libyan rebel fighters besiege PM’s officeTRIPOLI, Libya — About 200 former rebel fighters in Libya have besieged the prime minister’s office, de- manding that he resign. The militia members, who did not threaten violence, want Prime Minister Ali Zi- dan to step down in accor- dance with a law banning members of the former re- gime from political life. He served as an ambassa- dor under Moammar Gad- hafi.The law is controversial because it bans anyone who worked with Gadhafi from 1969 until he was killed in 2011. The prime minister’s convoy was seen moving around the capital, Tripoli, last week with more secu- rity guards than usual — after an influx of militias from around the country. Icelandic skydivers didn’t open parachutesMIAMI — Two Icelandic skydivers who died during weekend jumps at a popular southwest Florida camp did not deploy their main para- chutes, the co-owner of the facility said Sunday. Deputies found the bodies of the skydiving instructor and a student Saturday after the two didn’t return from a jump with a group, setting off an hours-long air and ground search around the Zephy- rhills facility, about 30 miles northeast of Tampa. Pasco County sheriff’s authori- ties identified the victims as 41-year-old instructor Orvar Arnarson and 25-year-old student Andrimar Pordarson of Iceland. The men jumped separately, not in tandem. — Compiled from Associated Press reports Members of the General Faculty, which comprises most (but not all) of the professors on this campus, vote today on two pro- posed amendments to the University’s academic calendar. The first would institute a fall break on the Monday and Tuesday of the ninth week of the fall semester, and the second would move the fall semester’s start date from Wednesday to Monday in the fourth week of August. Students and some faculty members have already demonstrat- ed significant desire for a fall break, which many believe would provide a brief but welcome respite in the 10 uninterrupted class weeks between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Similar proposals passed unanimously in Student Government and the Graduate Student Assembly, and on Jan. 28, a majority of members on the Faculty Council, an elected representative body of 113 UT pro- fessors, approved the proposal as well. As students, we like the idea of a fall break, which we believe would alleviate stress in the middle of the semester. Students, es- pecially new students transitioning to life at UT-Austin, would find the fall semester more pleasant with a break to look forward to. And given that many of UT’s peer institutions have imple- mented similar breaks, the proposal seems achievable. But those gains to student happiness could potentially be offset by faculty headaches and disrupted course structures. We think it’s best to defer to faculty judgment on whether it would be wise to implement a fall break. If they feel it would compromise the quality of a UT education, we should respect their hesitancy as the people responsible for educating us. Because the proposal is deemed “major legislation,” it requires a vote of the General Faculty. At least 366 faculty members must attend the meeting to meet the required 15 percent quorum. Then, if a majority votes in favor of it, the proposal will move on to UT President William Powers Jr. for approval. But in addition to demonstrations of student and faculty sup- port, the proposal has engendered a significant outpouring of opposition from other faculty members, especially those in the College of Natural Sciences and Cockrell School of Engineer- ing. Much of their disapproval hinges on the proposed break’s interference with laboratory courses, which require special setup procedures and are thus generally feasible only during full weeks. Between fall’s Wednesday start, Labor Day and Thanksgiving, the semester currently offers only about 80 percent of the number of full weeks of instruction that the spring semester does. In one of 61 complaints filed by faculty against the fall break proposal, Seth Bank, an engineering professor, expressed those concerns. “When coupled with UT’s commitment to preparing undergraduates for life in four years,” he writes, “I believe the proposed action will put undue additional burden on students in engineering and the physical sciences.” Another problem with the proposed scheduled respite is that it might unintentionally encourage students to miss even more class the break’s allotted two days. John Deigh, a law professor, articulated this claim in another written complaint: “From long experience with the Thanksgiving break I know that too many students, when given a two day break, regularly turn it into more than two days. Since that is already occurring at Thanksgiving, I think it is pedagogically unwise to introduce a second such dis- ruption into the fall semester.” Kori Rady, a government and corporate communications sophomore who authored the fall break legislation in Student Government, is unconvinced by dissenting faculty arguments. Not being enrolled in either the natural sciences or engineering colleges, Rady was hesitant to criticize those faculty members’ disagreement with his proposal. But he points to peer institutions, such as Harvard, which currently only have 10 or 11 full weeks of instruction for laboratory courses in the fall compared to UT’s 12. Furthermore, Rady said a fall break could potentially help with re- tention and recruiting, because “a lot of high school students would love a fall break.” For all of us, Rady says, some time off in the fall would “aid the big mental health crisis” he sees on campus. The majority of faculty members in the General Faculty agree. Many were inclined to put student interests first. Notable excep- tions include William Doolittle, professor of geography, who wrote in a complaint, “I see no need for this, especially because of Thanks- giving. If it were up to me, I would eliminate spring break.” The benefits of a fall break would not be lost on students. It remains to be seen whether faculty agree that a break would be worthwhile, and even with their approval, the proposal will still face significant obstacles before becoming policy. But regardless of the outcome of today’s vote, the stress that new and returning stu- dents face in the fall ranks as an issue that demands examination, and not just in terms of adding a new break. We agree with Michael Morton, president of the Senate of College Councils, who said of the fall break proposal: “One thing that’s been a little disheartening about this entire con- versation is that I don’t think we’re really addressing the root issue that we’re trying to address.” The traumas of fall semes- ter remain significant for students, and the introduction of a break should only be one of many conversations had on cam- pus about how to improve those initial experiences of college life for UT students. 4A OpinionEditor-in-Chief Susannah JacobOpinion4Monday, March 25, 2013Roy CatheyDaily Texan ColumnistCleaning up, notcracking downBreak or no break, fall semester needs fixingLEGALESE | Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article or cartoonist.

What to Watch March 25-29At the beginning of every week, we provide a list of opinion- worthy events to expect during the coming week. VIEWPOINTGALLERYAs March draws to a close, the city of Austin can reflect on its first month without single-use bags. Working at a local grocery store through it all has proved to be much like a bad “Portlandia” skit, as cus- tomer after customer apprehensively asks how I can bag their groceries. Ardent opponents of the ordinance spout caveats of socialist takeover while the silent majority kindly hand over their reusable bags. All things considered, I think Austin is going to survive the “bag ban” just fine — and we have every reason to try. The single-use bag ordinance is a small step towards Austin’s Zero Waste Plan goal of diverting 95 per- cent of our trash from landfills by the year 2040. While the city of Aus- tin doesn’t seem to be making too much of a fuss, we are geographically bound to the state of Texas, which is home to many who feel differently about the ordinance. Texas Rep. Drew Springer, R- Muenster, is serving as the voice for Texas’ dissenting opinion, claiming the ordinance is just another exam- ple of “an attempt to push forward a misguided nanny-state agenda.” Springer has formalized his opposi- tion in the form of the “Shopping Bag Freedom Act,” legislation, which he introduced with the intent of over- turning Austin’s new ordinance as soon as possible. In short, a state rep- resentative from a North Texas town of 1,500 is trying to overturn Austin’s local ordinance on the grounds that it is governmental overreach. The irony of that statement aside, it is our right to be given bags, right? This is a matter of American free- dom. But Andrew Dobbs, program director for the Texas Campaign for the Environment, doesn’t see it that way. “I have a right to a community that’s safe, clean, and healthy,” Dobbs said. “We have shopped at markets for 3-4,000 years as a series of civili- zations, and it’s only in the last 30-40 years that we’ve had an expectation that we’ll get a single-use bag for free. Our founding fathers were expected to bring containers for their goods, and we can, too.” Our insistence on convenience has allowed us to create an illusion of necessity, and this illusion is so well- established that something as minute as what our groceries are put into has turned into a hotly-contested policy debate. This ordinance could be perceived in many more produc- tive ways than as a deprivation of freedom. Though it may be small, it is by all accounts a step in the right direction. The quantifiable possible effects of single-use bags on a city are consid- erable. According to research done by Austin Resource Recovery, the stream of single-use bags is costing the city approximately $800,000 an- nually through litter cleanup and landfill costs alone. Paper bag pro- duction requires relatively large amounts of water that Texas does not have to spare, assuming the bags are not being imported from abroad. Ac- cording to Dobbs, however, this or- dinance means more than what can be translated into dollars and cents. “It’s significant as a symbol of com- mitment to our community,” Dobbs said with pride. “It’s moving beyond a disposable culture towards a culture of responsibility for our resources.” Environmental pride is the key to “surviving” this ordinance, and the many more to come. Businesses like Buffalo Exchange on Guadalupe and 29th share this pride, and have had a reward system in place for customers who want to abstain from using a bag since long before the ordinance. If customers chose not to use a single- use bag to carry home their purchas- es, they were given a token to donate to an environmental cause of their choice. Now that they have no bags of any kind, patrons simply receive a token at the end of every transaction. Single-use bags make up less than 2 percent of the waste stream in Aus- tin, which leaves room for much en- vironmental improvement. There is no “nanny state agenda” behind these modifications, just a city that wants to start cleaning up after itself. These small adjustments will soon become just as much of a habit as single- use bags were, and we, as a com- munity, can move onto bigger and greener things. Cathey is a journalism sophomore from Dripping Springs. This ordinance could be perceived in many more productive ways than as a deprivation of freedom.‘‘ This afternoon, the General Faculty will meet in the Hogg Memo- rial Auditorium to vote on a proposal for a fall break at UT. If the General Faculty approves the fall break proposal, it will still need to be approved by UT President William Powers Jr. before the break is added to the University’s calendar. The meeting will take place at 3:15 p.m. Also this afternoon, Dennis Lettenmaier, a guest lecturer from the University of Washington, will present “Climate Change and the Water Resources of the Western U.S.” The lecture will take place in JGB 4.102 at 3 p.m. On Tuesday, University of Chicago Professor John Mearsheimer will present a lecture titled “Can China Rise Peacefully?”, during which he will focus on China’s political and economic ascenden- cy and the extent to which its rise could create tensions with the United States. The lecture takes place in Bass Lecture Hall 2.104 at 12:15 p.m. Nearly 200 volunteers at Texas Student Television plan to go beyond the stan- dard 40-hour work week to produce 168 consecu- tive hours of live content for an annual broadcast and fundraising event. 24Seven started Sunday at 7 p.m. in the Unofficial Zach Anner Studio. For an entire week, TSTV will place con- tinual live content on air that includes programming such as a cereal show, girl talk, the Newlywed Show, student organization shows including Student Body President Thor Lund and Vice President Wills Brown and a late night talk show, as well as regularly scheduled shows like KVR News and Videogame Hour Live. Rebecca Rushworth, sta- tion manager and Radio- Television-Film senior, said 24Seven and all program- ming on TSTV is the culmi- nation of hard-working indi- viduals who volunteer their time and effort to help pro- duce shows all while going to class and learning at UT. “The purpose of the event is to show that our volunteers are working hard to maintain the standard of being the only Federal Communications Com- mission licensed entirely student-run station in the country,” Rushworth said. “Part of being entirely stu- dent run is that we support ourselves along with some very appreciated support from the Student Services Budget Committee.” 24Seven raised approxi- mately $1,500 last year, Rushworthsaid . She said the event began in 2008 as a fundraiser to purchase the station’s digital antenna but did not become an annual event until Spring 2012. In his second year as a vol- unteer for 24Seven, journal- ism junior and TSTV assis- tant news director Jon Scott said producing 168 hours of consecutive live content can get pretty crazy. “We have people at the sta- tion all the time,” Scott said. “We have to. People sleep at the station. Someone has to be on camera at all times.” Scott said he will spend around 20 hours on air throughout 24Seven, but not consecutively. “Last year, I actually had to register for fall classes on camera at 8 a.m.,” Scott said. Journalism senior and TSTV sports director Alexandra Stockwell said she enjoys the challenge. “Some of the best content happens last minute at 3 a.m. so it’s one of those things that’s so much fun even though it’s technically work,” Stockwell said. Content from 24 Seven will air all day online and on television — on digital antenna channel 29.1 and in dorms and Apogee on chan- nel 15. Content will also air Monday through Friday from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Channel Austin for service providers Time Warner and AT&T U-verse. Rushworth said she hopes to raise nearly $3,000 this year and establish a relation- ship with businesses and student organizations.

NewsMonday, March 25, 20135CAMPUSSCIENCE & TECHNOLOGYTSTV hosts annual 24Seven fundraising event Hacking report highlights need for greater cyber protection Concerns about sensitive personal and business in- formation in cyberspace are growing — and colleges and universities are no exception. Mandiant, an American cybersecurity firm, released a detailed report in late Feb- ruary “exposing a multi-year espionage campaign by one of the largest ‘Advanced Per- sistent Threat’ groups.” The group hacked 141 compa- nies from the United States, stealing many terabytes of compressed data. The report indicates hack- ers also targeted two higher education institutions, whose names were not released for confidentiality concerns. Cam Beasley, Chief In- formation Security Officer at Information Technology Services, said along with its own security program, ITS also uses traditional anti- virus and anti-spyware soft- ware, host-based intrusion detection, browser security controls, password manage- ment tools and encryptions of various sorts. “In most cases our security monitoring tools and servic- es, many of which we’ve de- veloped, help us detect such events,” Beasley said. One of the largest data theft instances that occurred at the University happened in spring 2003 when thousands of names and Social Security numbers were illegally ac- cessed and downloaded to a personal computer. Univer- sity officials said the discov- ery of the security breach oc- curred on March 2 and three days later a search warrant was issued and a computer and related materials were confiscated. Prompt action by the Travis County District Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Secret Service secured the stolen data before they could be misused or further disseminated, according to University officials. “Attacks that put sensi- tive University information at risk are historically the most significant,” Beasley said. “Some steps [after a possibly hacking] include determining whether law en- forcement is likely to become involved and if so, preserv- ing evidence, containing or eradicating the problem and fostering an organized and professional response to the incident based on severity level, and type and scope of the threat.” Lance Hayden, adjunct assistant professor in the School of Information, said figuring out how to pro- tect intellectual property and other sensitive busi- ness information while also encouraging collaboration in product development is going to be complex, difficult work. “It will take us years, maybe decades to get it all sorted,” Hayden said, “But that’s okay, or at least not abnormal. Look at the growth of any disrup- tive technology from weap- ons to the printing press to the telegraph/telephone to the Internet. All of them created as many new challenges for society as benefits, changing and shaping their environ- ments dramatically.” Protecting personal sensi- tive information is a major concern for Government and Economics sophomore Travis Adams. “I try not to upload sensitive things,” he said. “I have different passwords for all of my important accounts so that if you break into one you can’t break into all of them.” For UT faculty and stu- dents, user awareness and vigilance is key to protec- tion from a cyber-attack, Beasley said. “User awareness training is required for all faculty and staff,” Beasley said. “Be more vigilant with their brows- ing habits, keep browser and browser plug-ins updated on a regular basis and encrypt portable devices [such as] laptops, iPhones and thumb drives. A rational distrust of most things can often be your best defense.” By Jeremy ThomasBy Jeremy ThomasCAMPUSWriter’s archives available to publicNobel Prize-winning au- thor J.M. Coetzee’s archives, which were acquired by the Harry Ransom Cen- ter in 2011 and date back to approximately 1960, are now available to the public for research. “There’s no end to the dis- coveries that can be made in this archive, but I think it’s es- pecially valuable for students to see how many times Coe- tzee revises and rewrites his drafts,” Megan Barnard, a cu- rator of contemporary litera- ture, said. “He tries out vari- ous openings to his works, alters his characters and even shifts narrative perspectives.” Coetzee received his doc- torate at UT for his disser- tation on Samuel Beckett, which he researched using the Ransom Center’s col- lection of Beckett’s papers. Included in Coetzee’s ar- chives is a letter from the UT English department offering Coetzee a job as a teaching assistant, with a $2,000 per year salary. “It is a privilege to have graduated from being a teach- ing assistant at The University of Texas to being one of the authors whose papers are con- served here,” Coetzee wrote in a blog for the Ransom Center. Coetzee, who was born in South Africa, now lives and teaches in Australia. However, he remembers the initial im- pression he had of the Ran- som Center when he came to UT as a doctoral student. “In the 1960s the Ransom Center already had a certain fame, worldwide, for having struck out into a new field for collectors — the field of liv- ing authors and their manu- scripts,” Coetzee wrote. “The word ‘brash’ tended to find its way into comments on the Ransom Center and its activities, as did the phrase ‘oil money.’” The archives fill more than 140 document boxes, Barnard said, and trace Coetzee’s writing process through multiple drafts. Jan Wilm, a lecturer and doctoral candidate at Goethe University Frank- furt, will use the archive for his dissertation on the simi- larities between literary and philosophical writing. “Whereas the philosophi- cal — aesthetic, ethical, epistemological — implica- tions of J.M. Coetzee’s work are a fascinating subject for thematic studies of his oeu- vre, I am more interested in how philosophical dimen- sions are integrated into the form of his writing,” Wilm said. “For such a study, it is of inestimable value to track the developments from draft stage to published work.” By Klarissa FitzpatrickSam OrtegaDaily Texan StaffRTF sophomore Luke Swinney works in the TSTV control room as they kickoff 24Seven on Sunday.

The Frank Erwin Cen- ter was one of four re- gional sites for the first two rounds of tournament action and served as the backdrop for six games that would decide two of the Sweet 16 members. There weren’t any crazy upsets by a 15-seed over a heavily favored No. 2 seed, or any games marred by a controversial call with time winding down, however there were still plenty of chances for fans inside the Erwin Center to get their fix of March Madness. Friday was a long day filled with several tantaliz- ing matchups and 16 games that were played in Dayton, Ohio, Philadelphia, Pa., Kansas City, Mo. and Aus- tin. While other sites expe- rienced mid-majors taking down established power- house schools, buzzer beat- ers and come-from-behind wins, Austin’s first round of the 64 games were much more subdued. No. 2 seed Miami made quick work of a tired Pa- cific team and held the 15- seed Tigers to their low- est offensive output of the season. The Hurricanes made a tournament-high 12 three-pointers and dealt long time Pacific head coach Bob Thomason a loss in his final game at the helm for the Tigers. A graduate of Pacific in 1972 who has spent the last 41 years coaching, Thomason earned a school record 414 wins in 25 years with the Tigers. Oddly enough, the last time the Hurricanes made it to the tournament in 2008 they were elimi- nated in the second round 75-72 by Texas. Seventh-seeded Illinois nearly blew a 16-point halftime lead against 10- seed Colorado, but would grind out a 57-49 win to advance to play Miami on Sunday night. No. 3 Florida flirt- ed with the idea of let- ting the nation’s highest A day after picking up their first road victory of the season, the Long- horns jumped out to an early lead Sunday and held on to win the rub- ber game of their series against Minnesota. Texas (14-9) recorded double-digit hits for a second straight day to top the Golden Gophers 6-3 in the series finale. Five Longhorns reached base at least twice in the contest, and three had multiple hits. After taking a quick lead on an Erich Weiss RBI single in the first inning, Texas scored three times in the second to open up a 4-0 score. Alex Silver scored on Ben Johnson’s first career triple to jump- start the rally, and Jacob Felts and Weston Hall each had an RBI in the frame. The Longhorns would add a pair of runs in the fourth inning, with the big blow being an RBI double off Hall’s bat. The junior center fielder finished the game three for five with a pair of RBIs and a run scored. Nathan Thornhill had a strong start for Texas to improve his record to 2-2.

The sophomore line- backer, known among coaches for his soft- spoken nature, has been overlooked as a leader in the past because of his shy ways. “Steve is very quiet,” head coach Mack Brown said last year of Edmond. “He’s very bright. He’s not going to let you know he’s bright, because he’s not go- ing to talk to you. He won’t look at you in some cases. But he’s got great instincts.” On the field, the unob- trusive characteristics drift away, and he morphs into a powerful ax with hard hits and speed. Edmond, who won three straight state championships in high school and came to Texas as one of ESPNU’s top 150 national prospects, played in 12 games during his first year, adding 16 tackles. As a sophomore, he played in all 13 games, starting 12 at middle line- backer, and his numbers made him second on the Edmond lets play speak for itselfHorns clinch first road series of yearBy Peter SblendorioElisabeth Dillon | Daily Texan file photo Sophomore Steve Edmond returns an interception against Ole Miss last September.

Now take me back to TEXAS #texmex #bbq #hookem” James Barton@jamesbarton10TOP TWEETSophomore Day brings first commitThis past Saturday- marked the inaugural sophomore day for the Texas football program. Schools across the coun- try have been putting on events such as this for years, but this was the first year Texas decided to join in. The Longhorns made eight scholarship offers with one verbal commit. Aaron Garza from Sher- man High School ver- bally committed to Texas during the day after an offer from head coach Mack Brown. Garza is a 6-foot-4, 300 pound of- fensive lineman who led his team to a 9-3 record this past season. Max- preps.com, a CBS Sports site for high school sports, ranked the sopho- more as No. 148 in the state of Texas. While many players have been offered al- ready, Garza is the first in his class to commit to the Texas program. — Garrett CallahanSPORTS BRIEFLY(10) IOWA ST. (2) OHIO ST. (6) MEMPHIS(3) MICH ST.

In Friday’s last game 11-seed Minnesota knocked out sixth-seeded UCLA in an 83-63 win. Although Bruins head coach Ben Howland de- clined to comment on ru- mors about his imminent firing after the game, by Sunday night his termi- nation was all but offi- cial. The Bruins had not made it past the NCAA second round since 2008 under Howland, who was let go after ten years with the program. Minnesota head coach Tubby Smith expressed intrigue in playing former SEC foe Billy Donovan for the first time in six years, but the Gophers would bow out Sunday as Florida cruised to a 78-64 win to advance to its third con- secutive Sweet 16. Mike Rosario scored 25 against the Gophers and is the Gators’ leading scorer through two tournament games with 33 total points. The Gators will play the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, the first 15-seed to make it to the Sweet 16, Fri- day at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. The sixth and final game on Sunday night fea- tured Illinois up against Miami, who looked every bit deserving of its No. 2 seed until the Illini fought back and began alternat- ing leads with the Hur- ricanes late in the game. Junior guard Rion Brown made 5-of-10 three point shots and is shooting 8-of- 13 from three in his first two tournament games. Through eight lead chang- es the Hurricanes held on and will advance to the Sweet 16 to play Mar- quette at the Verizon Cen- ter in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. After the dust settled, the two top-seeded teams playing in Austin ad- vanced to their respective Sweet 16 and Elite Eight sites. With the surprise appearance of Florida Gulf Coast there are three teams from the state of Florida in the Sweet 16 for the first time in NCAA Tournament history. Mi- ami and Florida may not have blown the socks off anyone watching, but their ability to pull out two tough wins apiece reinforces why they were rewarded for solid regular seasons with high seeds in the tournament. Both teams have the same goal of winning a national title, and they could clash in the Final Four if they re- main hot. team in tackles and tied for second in forced fumbles. But now the stakes are higher for the Dainger- field, Texas native, who will enter his junior year with the pressure of keep- ing his starting spot and competing against other top linebackers includ- ing Dalton Santos and Jordan Hicks. “The competition be- tween Dalton Santos and Steve Edmond has been great because Steve’s play- ing much better and Dal- ton’s all over the place,” Brown said. “I think Steve is at a different place with his intensity than he was this time last year.” A large part of that in- tensity has come with in- creased conditioning to trim down during spring practice. As Santos worked tirelessly to lose weight, Edmond followed suit, Brown said. Santos, a sophomore who saw action in all 13 games last year and led the team in special teams tackles, isn’t giving Edmond an easy time. But the teammate ri- valry between the two has helped Edmond as a player. “Dalton Santos has made Steve Edmond better,” de- fensive coordinator and linebackers coach Manny Diaz said. “I think Steve has made some big improve- ments over the last week or so. It’s just a battle, and I am keeping score.” Hicks is returning from last year’s hip injury and will provide another threat for Edmond if he can stay healthy. A fellow junior who played in every game as a freshman and in 13 games as a sophomore, Hicks brings strength, size and leadership to the field. Sophomore Peter Jinkens, who served as a reserve linebacker and started three games last season, is also vying for a starting slot. For now, Edmond will continue to plug away in the spring, toning his body, working on tackling and growing quietly as a leader. Though unable to score in the first four innings of either weekend match this weekend, No. 9 Texas (29- 4, 2-0) trumped No. 18 Baylor (26-7, 0-2) in both contests to start off confer- ence play. The teams faced off on both opponents’ turfs, as the Longhorns rose to 8-2 against ranked teams this season. Texas opened the week- end in Waco with an old- fashioned pitchers’ duel. Both Blaire Luna and the Bears’ Whitney Canion struck out 14 batters as Luna didn’t allow even a single hit until the eighth inning. Three baseless innings fur- ther focused the action on the mound before Tay- lor Thom’s ninth-inning bases-loaded single plated Stephanie Ceo. Kim Bruins then doubled to the gap in left center to drive in Tay- lor Hoagland and Brejae Washington. Thom’s un- earned run closed the game 4-0 when Luna allowed a leadoff single to the Baylor batting lineup. “It’s about staying pitch- to-pitch and controlling what I can control,” Luna said. “It’s more just not overthinking things. Be- ing that this is the fourth time they have seen me, it’s about playing chess and not getting consumed.” Back at McCombs Field Sunday, the Longhorns started off slow again. A Hoagland error allowed pinch runner Justine Young to score unearned in the sec- ond as the Bears took their first lead of the weekend. A series of fifth- and sixth- inning fielding errors and unearned runs brought the final score to 5-1. Though shaky, Texas managed to pull away undefeated in conference play. “The outcomes are good,” head coach Connie Clark said of the weekend match- es. “Our biggest takeaway from the locker room today needs to be that you learn to love to play under pres- sure. Yesterday I thought we were in A+ dealing with [adversity]. Today I thought we were a C+. It’s going to be tough but I love that we did get two Ws and that we were challenged in both.” Thom echoed Clark’s mentality, helping the Long- horns with one run, one hit and two RBIs this weekend. “I love pressure situations like that,” Thom said. “That’s what we live for and thrive for. I’m just excited to be up there in that situation — get a base hit and get my run- ners in. But for us to beat teams like that, we’re going to have to be consistent.” Texas capped its season off with a ninth place fin- ish at the NCAA Cham- pionships but landed its first individual title win- ner since 2001 as senior Laura Sogar won the 200-yard breaststroke. “It feels so good,” Sogar said. “That was the last swim of my college swim- ming career. There have been some ups and downs. It was great to finish it off well and with a win.” Sogar pulled ahead Saturday in the last 50-yards, beating out a former champion in the event, Minnesota’s Haley Spencer, and the Ameri- can record holder Breeja Larson. Sogar finished in 2:05.41, Spencer in 2:06.15 and Larson in 2:06.24. Sogar’s best time is 2:05.04. “I’m happy she was able to put it together at the right time,” head coach Carol Capitani said. “It was a little off of her best time but at this meet the time doesn’t matter. It’s about winning.” Sogar finished sixth in the 100-yard breaststroke Friday. Texas finished ninth place overall with 186 points, while Georgia took the top spot with 477, followed by Califor- nia at 393 and Tennessee at 325.5. Junior Sarah Den- ninghoff added points for her team with an eighth-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke. The 400-yard freestyle relay featuring juniors Alex Hooper, Denning- hoff, Samantha Tuck- er and senior Kelsey Amundsen finished seventh on the last day of competition. Senior diver Shelby Cullinan and redshirt ju- nior Maren Taylor missed the championship but managed a one-two fin- ish in the consolation final. Cullinan won with 315.35, while Taylor had 309.55.

After the opening races, Texas was tied for first with San Diego at 20 points. Iowa and Oklahoma trailed in third while UCF and Kan- sas State were tied for fifth. SMU and Tulsa had yet to earn any points. Saturday, Texas hit the water strong, posting seven wins throughout the third session of the Longhorn Invitational. The Longhorns finished day two with a total of 60 points and the lead over rival Oklahoma, who trailed close behind with 58 points. Texas opened the final round Sunday with their championship dual against Oklahoma and won with the first novice boat lead by sophomore Christine Young, beating the Soon- ers by 15 seconds. During the varsity’s second eight- boat face-off the Soon- ers claimed the lead over Texas, taking the win with a time of 6:37.0. Texas’ first varsity four, lead by stroke seat Katio Trova- to, finished close behind Oklahoma with a time of 7:36.0 but failed to gain enough points to override the Sooners. Texas took a second place overall at the Invitational. The Long- horns will travel to San Diego April 6-7 for the an- nual Crew Classic. Katie Trovato SophomoreLaura Sogar Seniorweekend recapsSogar grabs NCAA title for LonghornsBy Brittany LamasSam Ortega | Daily Texan Staff Senior Blaire Luna winds up to pitch in Sunday’s win over Baylor. Luna recorded 11 strikeouts and allowed just two hits as the Longhorns took the victory. Texas won both of its games against the Bears. The team played one in Waco and the other in Austin. WOMEN’S SWIMMING SOFTBALLlowed three runs in six in- nings of work and struck out five batters. Thornhill held the Golden Gophers score- less though the first six in- nings before loading the bases without registering an out in the seventh. Re- lievers Ty Culbreth and Ty Marlow combined to allow each of the inherited run- ners to score but limited the damage to three runs. Corey Knebel pitched a pair of scoreless innings to pick up his fourth save of the year and nail down the win for Texas. Mark Payton had two hits on the day to extend his hit streak to 12 games. The ju- nior right fielder went six for 13 over the weekend to boost his season average to .415. After Sunday’s game, head coach Augie Gar- rido said he was pleased with his team’s offensive output and he hopes the lineup would continue being productive. “I want to see how we bounce back on top of some of the fundamentals of our offense and continue to make productive outs,” Garrido said. “We just want to see if we can keep the same level of intensity.” The Longhorns dropped the first game of the series Friday 5-1 as Minnesota starter Tom Windle struck out 12 batters in a com- plete game performance. Texas would rebound with a 5-4 extra innings vic- tory Saturday, with the big hit being a go ahead RBI single by Alex Silver in the 10th inning. The Longhorns will look to extend their win streak to three on Tuesday as they return home to host Texas State. The game is sched- uled to begin at 6 p.m. at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The “Drives of Texas” were upon the Longhorns on their home turf as they captured first place in Sunday’s three-team match against Baylor and SMU. The top four players’ scores counted toward the team total as Texas finished atop the team leaderboard with a total of 309. Longhorn seniors dominated the majority of the top four. Katelyn Sepmoree led the team as she scored a round low of 73. She finished as the top woman out of all participants in the tri- angular match. Desiree Dubreuil finished the match with a 76 while Madison Pressel en- tered the clubhouse with a round of 78. Sopho- more Bertine Strauss scored an 82 to round out the top four for the Horns. Junior Alyssa Morgan and freshmen Tezira Abe and Natalie Karcher fin- ished with a round of 87, 89 and 85, respectively. In the triangular match, Baylor carded a team total of 318 while Mustangs of SMU ended their round at the UT Golf Club with a team to- tal of 325. The Longhorns are slated to be back in ac- tion next Sunday for The Farms Collegiate Invite at the The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. Horns overwhelm Bears in first Big 12 playBy Jori EpsteinWATCH continues from page 6ROAD continues from page 6Katelyn Sepmoree SeniorNCAA continues from page 6 on Irrational Games to cre- ate an interesting and in- tricate game. The original “Bioshock” was praised for its morality-based plotline, which took into account a player’s actions toward other characters in the game. In other words, shoot a good guy to get ahead, and the game’s characters and plot will treat you like you’ve made a morally du- bious choice. Defend an in- nocent character, and you’ll be treated as if you’ve made a good choice. If the trailer is any indi- cation, “Bioshock Infinite” doesn’t stray away from the themes of the series’ origi- nal title. Set in the fictional floating city of Columbia circa 1912, the game follows a former Pinkerton agent, Booker DeWitt, on a quest to save Elizabeth, a young woman with supernatural powers who has spent her life imprisoned by a crea- ture called Songbird. “Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt. That was the deal,” a grizzled voice says at the beginning of the trailer, which goes on to showcase several minutes of colorful violence inflicted with steam-punk-inspired weapons. All this, in typical “Bioshock” style, happens against a richly realized city stuffed with detail. Ken Levine, the Creative Director of “Bioshock,” seems to have fully realized the city of Columbia, which in the game was created by the U.S. Government as a showcase for the World’s Fair but seceded after po- litical turmoil broke out on board. Lost for years, it has simply floated away into the sky. Levine, however, doesn’t seem to have put much thought into breaking the annoying “damsel in dis- tress” trope that so often defines videogame plot- lines. In a promotional trailer about the making of the character Elizabeth, Amanda Jeffrey, a level de- signer at Irrational Games, points out that one of the most impressive things about the character is that “she will be by your side, no matter what you end up do- ing,” Levine said. “She re- ally is the emotional center of the game.” Whether or not that emo- tional center rises above the familiar cliches is, like the city of Columbia, up in the air. 8 L&ACLASSIFIEDSADVERTISING TERMS There are no refunds or credits.

Life & Arts8Monday, March 25, 2013articles and columns about the Pew’s report are missing some of the rays of sunlight. To start with, a shocking de- velopment has happened that no one could have predicted. Online paywalls are working, and they are not just working at The New York Times. They are also working at smaller papers and news organizations, and digital subscriptions are begin- ning to slowly make up for the loss of print subscriptions. Cir- culation is back on the rise. And adding to speculation that this is a “grim” day for journalism, the Pew’s report itself is facing criticism. Within the many pages of this report, something big is missing — college media. As Bryan Murley and Dan Re- imold noted on the “College Media Podcast,” the Pew Re- search Center for Excellence in Journalism did not cover or reference college media. As Slate Magazine pointed out, the State of Journalism Report focuses and laments the fall in news revenue and does not talk about the posi- tive data the report found in regards to digital and online journalism. Slate Magazine, which is fittingly an online- only publication, argues there is more good content for peo- ple to read online than ever before, and that online jour- nalism is growing stronger. Some of the best news for journalism comes from the “Digital Development” section of the report, a section that has not been as widely covered in the news. For instance, this sec- tion shows 27 percent of people who followed the news on election night in November did so through multiple platforms — television and online. And social media usage, including Twitter and Facebook, is still on the rise. This is especially true for the younger generations. While some members of the older generation get their news from newspapers and televi- sion, younger people are more connected online than ever be- fore. Perhaps the old trope that young people don’t read news is totally false, and the truth is they just read it differently. So this isn’t the apocalypse — yet. Maybe it is coming. But while news coverage from media outlets including Mashable and The New York Times focus on the bad in the Pew’s report, good news is sprinkled throughout. Maybe it is the kind of good news newspapers and journalists do not want to hear, but its good news nonetheless. school students in any Round- up event was enforced this year by the Greek governing bod- ies. The University Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity Council threatened to enforce large fines to any organization found “dirty rushing,” or as- sociating with future rushees, or helping any high schoolers get into Roundup events. Stan- dardized wristbands were re- quired to attend any event, and valid college ID’s were scanned at each wristband station to ensure no high school students could gain access. Any unapologetically loyal member of a sorority or fra- ternity, including myself, would naturally want a leg up on the competition in recruit- ing new members, but this policy creates a much more fair process. You see, the advantage a po- tential new member can gain by knowing even one person in the house of their choice is astronomical. It is very dif- ficult to get into any sorority at UT if the rushee does not send in multiple letters of rec- ommendation, pictures and references. But even that isn’t enough. Just like searching for a job in the real world, who you know is everything. As I said before, I am an out- of-state student. I did not know a soul before stepping onto this campus last August, and I was at an extreme disadvantage for recruitment. Women and men from Texas could easily take a weekend trip to Austin, get their name out, make friends in sororities and secure their spots months in advance by at- tending Roundup. Thousands of other out-of-staters had no such opportunity. It is a commendable step on the part of the UPC and the IFC to halt any unfairness in recruitment that comes with Roundup. Obviously there is no way to cut off all high schoolers from attending Roundup. The hype and tradition is extreme- ly attractive to the sheltered rebels in Texas high schools. I presume there will never be a year without some seriously underage party-goers. This year a box of wristbands was stolen from the wristband station at the corner of 25th Street and Pearl Street with the stolen wristbands likely distributed to sneaky high schoolers. The station was forced to move on campus to prevent further theft. Even with the intense re- strictions, some impressively sly high schoolers still made their mark on West Campus last weekend. But the fact that the Greek community is finally taking action on this unfortunate and unfair reality should be appreciated. I won’t lie and say that Roundup is something the University should be proud of. It is dangerous, baffling and frankly, insane. But the Greek community is actually taking steps toward positive change and taking advantage of the infamous party scene to do some good. There are plenty of com- plaints that can be made about Roundup Weekend, many of which I will whole- heartedly agree with. How- ever, this year I can take a look at this large student community and know that we are one step closer to a fairer system in recruitment, and a more positive presence on campus. was unbelievably prescient about the media-technolo- gy nexus, but I’m not sure describing the world is a primary function of litera- ture anyway. DT: Which fiction writ- ers from previous decades [succeeded] in their analy- sis of the future? Franzen: It’s safe to say that Arthur C. Clarke, who foresaw commuter service to the moon in 2001, did not. But again, who cares? DT: Do you think the changes brought on by the internet make us more of a reading coun- try, or less? Franzen: I think there’s no question that the aver- age attention span has suf- fered. But a strong enough novel will draw you into it and out of the internet world. The only question is whether you’re too anxious to let is happen. DT: What do you advise college-age people to read? Franzen: Dostoyevsky. DT: What have you gone back and re-read since you were young and how has it changed? Franzen: Certain modes of cerebral fiction that I en- joyed in my twenties leave me cold now. But the Nar- nia books still do it for me. DT: What do you think of TV today? Franzen: I binge on stuff like “Breaking Bad,” “Homeland” and “Friday Night Lights” like crack co- caine. DT: What are you reading right now? Franzen: Mario Vargas Llosa’s “The War of the End of the World.” Photo courtesy of Irrational GamesElizabeth is the damsel in distress of “Bioshock Infinite,” the newest install- ment in the “Bioshock” series created by Irrational Games.

Shayla Mattson, assistant manager of the Ben White Boulevard GameStop loca- tion, said she expects more than 150 people to attend the store’s midnight launch for the game. “It’s gotten over 85 awards and it’s supposed to be amazing,” Mattson said of the game. The game, which The New York Times reported earlier this week took a team of 200 more than four years and $100 million to complete, swept up every award it was nominated for at the 2012 E3 game convention, including Best in Show. Though Irra- tional Games, the studio be- hind “Infinite,” has released a series of trailers for the game, the reviews are just now trickling out from gaming sites including IGN, and they are so consistently gushing that it’s hard to tell the differ- ence between promotional materials and press. Though it’s only themati- cally connected to the first “Bioshock” game, the suc- cess of the original title has left “Infinite” with big shoes to fill. “Bioshock,” which, like “Bioshock Infinite,” is a first-person shooter, liter- ally submerges players in an underwater world where they navigate a dreary, highly stylized fallen city called Rapture. The plotline of the game culls inspiration from Ayn Rand — one of the main characters is even named At- las — and deals with themes of class warfare. If that all sounds a little heavier than what you ex- pect from a shooter, then you understand the pressure Roundup has a bad reputa- tion. It’s difficult to blur that clear-cut distinction because, in a way, this reputation comes with good reason. Thousands of young adults flood West Campus each spring, clad in different hues of radioactive glow, causing chaos and may- hem at the largest Greek event of the year. Alcohol flows, music booms and lights paint the sky in pulsing vibrancy. So why is it that I am feeling this foreign sense of pride? Why is it that this event only makes me more sure of my decision to come to the University of Texas? Perhaps it is because when friends and family back home in California ask me why I would leave paradise for the stagnant and blister- ing reality of the Texas plains, I have a simple answer. My University is one of the finest institutions of higher learning in the nation, with many schools ranked with the likes of Harvard and Yale. My school is placed in a city teeming with diverse and dynamic culture that begs to be different. My school has sports teams that cause child- like anxiety among the tough- est men. And in one weekend, my school of leaders, thinkers and achievers can have more fun than any other place can scarcely imagine. But maybe that’s just my newly adopted Texas ego. Surely applauding our student body for its ability to intake obscene amounts of alcohol while maintaining perfect GPAs isn’t exactly commendable. Roundup is, first and foremost, a massive party. Shocking as it may seem, it wasn’t always that way. It was actually once a university-sanctioned event. “For 60 years Roundup was a spring semester weekend of homecoming events, parades, competitions and dances,” Assistant Dean of Students Elizabeth G. Medina said in a letter to all Greek affili- ated students. “The decision to discontinue sponsorship came after a series of racially inflammatory incidents as- sociated with the weekend and as a result, Roundup has not been an official university event since 1990.” High school recruitment was another factor that sep- arated Roundup Weekend from the university. High school seniors would re- ceive their acceptance letters to UT, then celebrate by at- tending Roundup weekend. Greek organizations wear- ing their letters from head to toe would use this op- portunity to do some early recruiting before fall rush.

He graduated from Swarth- more College with a degree in German in 1981. Through the mail, The Daily Texan asked Franzen about reading, college life, television and New York. The Daily Texan: What and how often did you read in college? Jonathan Franzen: I read constantly in college, but it was almost entirely for class. I don’t think I read a single extracurricular book cover to cover, except during vacation and my junior year abroad, and even then I was reading more plays than novels. DT: How did your read- ing habits change when you graduated? Franzen: As soon as I fin- ished college I pretty method- ically went about making up for the lost years. By the time I was 28 I’d torn through most of the 19th and 20th century canon, from Austen to De- Lillo. Only during baseball season, when I watched far too many games on TV, did I average less than three or four hours of reading per evening. DT: What is being 18 to 22 years old good for? Franzen: It’s good for leaving home. DT: How have you person- ally observed the world change in the last 10 years? Franzen: I think the gen- eral anxiety level has risen in concert with the technol- ogization of everyday life. I think the new technology is a lot like cigarettes, which people used to reach for to assuage anxiety and which of course just made them more anxious. DT: What would you do with four years of college if you had them now? Franzen: I don’t regret ma- joring in German and going to Europe for a year, but I might have tried to learn a third lan- guage and take more courses in subjects like Milton and philos- ophy, which are really daunting to tackle on your own. DT: What American writers have we forgotten? Franzen: Steinbeck is se- riously underesteemed, es- pecially “East of Eden.” Jane Smiley’s fourth, fifth and sixth books may be, too. DT: How do you advise young people uncertain what to do when they graduate, or should middle-aged people not be advising young people on that subject? Franzen: We should prob- ably not be advising, but I can at least safely advise reading good novels from a variety of eras. DT: What’s so great about New York today? How has it changed in the last 10 years, based on your observations? Franzen: I’m afraid the magazine N+1 was only slightly exaggerating when it said that Lower Manhat- tan has become one large bank. Truly, the prolifera- tion of bank branches at the expense of more interesting small businesses may be the most striking change. And then there’s the rise of the culture or cult of Brooklyn, which puts me in mind of the great Jane Smiley line about a character who has cultivated every nuance of his Norwegian heritage into “a fully realized affectation.” Then again, who wants to stay in a borough that’s be- come one large bank? DT: What is the logic or explanation behind the perception that studying the humanities is a lazy pursuit compared to study- ing sciences, and how does that affect the way we think about ourselves? Franzen: I wasn’t aware that studying the humani- ties is considered lazy. Not only is reading Joyce or Kant difficult, these days it almost amounts to an act of cultural defiance. DT: What literature from previous decades continues to accurately describe the world around you today? Franzen: DeLillo, certain- ly, saw it all coming in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Edith Whar- ton saw a lot of it in the first decades of the last century. Around the same time, the Viennese writer Karl Kraus By Susannah JacobWEST CAMPUSMEDIAFuture of journalism takes a positive turnRoundup weekend changes prove positiveEditor’s note: This is the first installment of Media Mon- day, a weekly column about journalism, media and news. For the past 13 years, jour- nalism has been dying. Kind of. Maybe. Sort of. No one is really sure. Perhaps the industry is just shrinking, perhaps it is truly falling apart at the seams or perhaps it is undergoing an exciting digi- tal evolution. In any case, it is evident that the way we learn about the latest development in the Powers/Perry conflict or see the hottest new Ryan Gosling paparazzi shot has changed. The Pew Research Center for Excellence in Journalism released its annual report on the State of Journalism last week where it illustrates the uncertainty we have about the state of journalism. The report, an annual compilation of data on the changing land- scape of news and the way we consume news, came with a lot of bad news, but also some surprisingly good news. First the bad news: Layoffs and cutbacks have put the number of full-time news- paper newsroom employees below 40,000 for the first year since 1978. The number of in- stances of TV newsrooms cov- ering breaking, live news has dropped by 30 percent. Some news outlets, including Forbes Magazine, have even axed some human reporting in favor of technology that pro- duces and writes news content using a complex algorithm. The media response to the report has been, for the most part, terrifying. Headlines use the words such as “grim.” Leads focus on cutbacks and the way news coverage is suffering as result of the cutbacks.
