Following controversy sur- rounding the UT System Board of Regents’ alleged microman- agement of President William Powers Jr., Texas lawmakers must navigate differing philos- ophies about the proper gov- ernance role of regents within a university system. Richard Novak, executive director of the Ingram Cen- ter for Public Trusteeship and Governance, said the role of boards of regents varies from institution to institu- tion and can sometimes be difficult to define. “It’s an art, it’s not a science,” Novak said. “There’s a lot of ambiguity in being a public board member.” The center works to improve dialogue between governing boards of university systems and government officials and is a project of the Association of Governing Boards of Universi- ties and Colleges, a nationwide organization that aims to help governing boards and admin- istrators build relationships among other goals. The question of regents’ proper roles comes after months of conflict between Powers and the board. Last month, the UT System Board of Regents voted 4-3 to spend Heavy rainfall left 2800 Austin Energy customers without power, disrupted traffic in West Campus and resulted in event cancella- tions across the city Tuesday. Near campus — on West 24th and Nueces streets — a tree fell on a beige Toyota Camry in traffic at around 5:30 p.m. Police surrounded the area and blocked off half of the street with cones. Officer Robert Snider, present at the scene, said it is possible that the car would be left on the street all night. “It’s not the only tree that has fallen,” Snider said. “It depends on how busy the city is. We can’t clear it until the city crew comes out.” Austin Energy spokesman Ed Clark said the energy provider is moving steadily and quickly to make repairs to restore power. “Repairs are needed at an estimated 60 locations and we have 10 repair crews out right now and about half a dozen tree trimming crews,” Clark said. Clark attributed the num- ber of power outages to tree limbs weighing heavily on power lines. The vast major- ity of outage locations affect one to eight residents per site, according to Clark. Aus- tin Energy expects power to be restored to all residents by Tuesday night.

Austin under waterStorms leave residents without power, cause tree to fall in West CampusBy Alexandra DubinskyCITYRAIN continues on page 2UNIVERSITYLawmakers look to set standards for state regentsProspective graduate stu- dents consider a number of factors when deciding what school they want to attend in the fall: the professors with whom they will work, the lo- cation of the campus and, of course, the price tag. For stu- dents looking to attend UT in the fall, this third factor has a question mark attached. Graduate student tuition, which must be approved by the UT System Board of Regents, has not yet been set for the 2013-2014 school year. Nearly all prospective graduate stu- dents in the nation must accept a financial offer by April 15 as part of an agreement by the Council of Graduate Schools, of which UT is a member. The next board meeting is May 8. UT System spokeswoman Jenny LaCoste-Caputo said she was not sure when the board would set tuition rates. On even-numbered years, the board typically sets tu- ition for all of the System’s schools for two-year periods. In May 2012, the board set tuition for all undergradu- ate students for two years, but did not take similar action for graduate students. According to members in the Office of Accounting, the board typi- cally does not wait this long to announce tuition. By Jordan RudnerBy Joshua FechterLAW continues on page 2TUITION continues on page 2CAMPUSDespite cloudy skies and light rain, 80 students marched from the Student Activity Center to the Capitol’s North Steps to keep UT competitive, safe and affordable. Coordinated by the Senate of College Councils, Student Government and the Gradu- ate Assembly, the demon- stration was a culminating event for the Invest in Texas campaign, a student-run, nonpartisan organization in- tended to champion for the student body during the 83rd Legislative Session. A press conference fol- lowed the march in which state Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, a member of the Senate Committee on Higher Education, and state Rep. Dan Branch, R-Dallas, the chair of the House Higher Education Committee, praised students for their involvement and stressed the importance of investing in higher education. According to Invest In Texas, for every $1 the state invests in UT, $18 is generated for the Texas economy. “Funding has to be im- proved,” Zaffirini said. “The key to lower tuition is higher appropriations. It is wise, just and good to invest in Texas.” In addition to affordabil- ity and improving levels of financial aid funding, speak- ers at the event discussed UT’s campus gun policy and admissions policy.

Villarreal, a history senior, and Williams, a sociology and education senior, are replacing previous Student Government President Thor Lund and Vice President Wills Brown. Villarreal said he was ex- cited to start working toward initiatives and programs for which they campaigned. “We’ve already been meet- ing with so many people on campus for the last few weeks, this just makes it of- ficial,” Villarreal said. “We’re ready to get started.” The executive alliance campaigned with plans to strengthen the organization’s connection to the Senate of College Councils and the Graduate Student Assembly, as well as connecting with more students and organi- zations to better voice the opinions of the student body.

TODAY $500,000 to conduct a new investigation into the UT Law School Foundation’s relation- ship with the University. In 2011, Powers instructed Larry Sager, then dean of the School of Law and current fac- ulty member, to resign as dean after Sager received a forgiv- able loan of $500,000 from the foundation. An internal audit of the foundation, confirmed by the Texas Attorney Gener- al’s office, found the loan was awarded inappropriately. Novak said the board could seek information about the foundation through UT Sys- tem Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa, who would consult Powers, instead of launch- ing an investigation. He said this would foster a candid conversation between the Re- gents, the System and Univer- sity administrators and would follow board procedure. The portion of the Texas Education Code that ad- dresses the role of UT Regents says “the board may provide for the administration, orga- nization, and names of the institutions and entities in The University of Texas System in such a way as will achieve the maximum operating effi- ciency of such institutions and entities.” A bill currently filed in the Texas Senate would allocate responsibilities not specifical- ly given to boards of regents to individual institutions. Thomas Lindsay, direc- tor of the Center for Higher Education at the Texas Pub- lic Policy Foundation, said amending the law to respond to the situation with UT Sys- tem Regents could negatively impact other institutions by applying a uniform standard. “If you change governance structure and you change it for the whole state, what you do is restrict powers at precisely the time that boards need them to address the problems our educational system faces,” Lindsay said. Lindsay said a more ap- propriate method to ad- dress the conflict would be to conduct hearings within the recently revived Joint Committee on Oversight of Higher Education Gov- ernance, Excellence and Transparency, a commit- tee comprised of mem- bers of both houses that is investigating the regents. “You don’t have to rewrite board powers in an effort to get at actions perceived to be overreaching,” Lindsay said.

FRAMES | FEAtuREd photo History departmentreceives donationNEWS BRIEFLYThe department of his- tory received a $6.6 million donation Tuesday to increase graduate student recruitment on behalf of UT alumnus Gardner Marston. Marston, a 1953 UT gradu- ate, died in 2011. Marston donated $250,000 for the Gardner F. Marston Endowed History Scholarship Fund, which was established in 1998 for the College of Liberal Arts. Marilyn Lehman, the his- tory department’s graduate program administrator, said the gift will fund fellowships for students, as most student support comes from teaching assistant positions. “It allows student to go off and do research, which is the kind of thing you can’t do when you’re [a teaching assis- tant],” Lehman said. Jackie Jones, professor and graduate chair in the Depart- ment of History, said in a statement the gift would help with recruitment. “This generous gift will enhance the ability of the history graduate program to recruit outstanding students and to maintain the overall excellence of our program,” Jones said. Marston served in the U.S. Army during World War II and managed family proper- ties in the California area for most of his life, according to his obituary in the San Diego Community News Group. Randy Diehl, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, said the college has received more than $30 million in planned gifts in the past five years. “We are grateful for the generosity and foresight of people like Gardner Marston, who valued their education at the University and wanted to give back so that others might enjoy the same benefits of higher education,” Diehl said in the department’s statement. More than 15,000 enroll in edX classesThe UT System opened its first-ever massive open online courses Friday on the online platform edX. By the time the weekend was over, nearly 15,000 students had enrolled. In comparison, UT’s current freshman class — the largest ever recorded at the University — is a class of 8,092. Harrison Keller, vice pro- vost for higher education policy and research senior lecturer, said the University hopes to help facilitate the sharing of knowledge, even though the courses will not count as course credits. “This is one of the most interesting frontiers we’re exploring,” Keller said to The Daily Texan in February. “These courses are aimed at personal enrichment and lifelong learning.” The four online classes launched by the System in- clude “Ideas of the 20th Century,” “Energy 101,” “Age of Globalization” and “Take Your Medicine — The Impact of the Drug Development.” “Energy 101” is the most popular course so far, boast- ing more than 5,000 regis- trants by Monday morning. The University plans to launch an additional set of courses next spring, includ- ing “Jazz Appreciation,” “Foundations of Data Analy- sis,” “Mathematics and Ef- fective Thinking,” “Introduc- tion to Embedded Systems” and “Linear Algebra: Theory and Computation.” In the coming months, the System plans to reconfigure several entry level courses traditionally composed of several hundreds of students. Last year, the System created the Institute for Transforma- tional Learning with the broader goal of “establish[ing] University of Texas institu- tions as world leaders in developing and implement- ing best-in-class resources for online learning.” storm, though. Nutri- tion sophomore Isabel Cruz said she enjoyed the unexpected rainstorm. “Even though I didn’t have an umbrella, I walked out of class and it made me feel motivat- ed and fresh,” Cruz said. “It just put me in a very contemplative mood.” RAINcontinues from page 1Michael Redding, outgo- ing president of the Graduate Student Assembly, said the uncertainty surrounding next year’s tuition rates is already having negative repercussions for graduate students. “For any student, not knowing what their tuition rate is going to be puts them in a state of uncertainty,” Red- ding said. “They don’t know what they can or cannot afford — graduate students don’t know what options they have in terms of teaching assistant benefits or assistant instructor benefits, and really, they’re at a loss in terms of what their fi- nancial outlook is going to be.” Columbia Mishra, presi- dent elect of the Graduate Student Assembly, said the delay of the tuition announce- ment will especially affect in- ternational students. Mishra is a mechanical engineering graduate student from the West Bengal region of India. “When I was applying from India, I asked myself, ‘What are my other options, and what do other universities have?’” Mishra said. “By de- laying the availability of this information, the University risks losing some very talent- ed students who may decide to go elsewhere because of uncertainty here.” Mishra said the most important function of tu- ition is to allow students to plan ahead. “Students in colleges with- out graduate fellowships or scholarships tend to feel the impact more, and they need to prepare,” Mishra said. “You need to know what your tuition will be, just as you need to know if your rent is going to increase in six months, because even if it’s by 2 percent or 3 percent, you might have to take out loans — or you might have to move.” TUITIONcontinues from page 1They also plan to provide upper-division tutoring at the Sanger Learning Center, pair incoming and transfer students with upperclass- men mentors and improve safety for students living in north campus and in the Riverside area by introduc- ing more police call boxes. The newly elected col- lege and university-wide representatives also se- lected committee chairs in addition to taking their new positions. Williams said the execu- tive alliance plans to individ- ually review the campaign platforms of the new Student Government representatives. “I‘m just getting to know everyone and meeting with everyone one-on-one,” Wil- liams said. “Since we are going to be working closely, I want to make sure I get along with everyone.” Villarreal and Wil- liams were elected Feb. 28, in a campus-wide elec- tion, winning 53 percent of the vote. Villarreal is a former University-wide representative and Wil- liams is a former College of Education representative. Brown said he and Lund are glad to pass on the con- trol of Student Government to Villarreal and Williams. “I have full faith in Horacio and Ugeo and be- lieve they’ll do a great job,” Brown said. “They’re both stand-up guys who truly do care about this univer- sity and are ready to serve day-in and day-out. I’m very happy to be passing on the torch to these two awesome friends of mine.” LAWcontinues from page 1—Christine AyalaBecause of a reporting error, a story about alcohol consumption in Austin in Tuesday’s issue of The Daily Texan misstated the date of the rankings.

A spokesman for the North’s General Department of Atom- ic Energy said scientists will quickly begin “readjusting and restarting” the facilities at its main Nyongbyon nuclear com- plex, including the plutonium reactor and a uranium enrich- ment plant. Both could pro- duce fuel for nuclear weapons. The reactor began op- erations in 1986 but was shut down as part of international nuclear disarmament talks in 2007 that have since stalled. North Korea said work to restart the facilities would begin “without delay.” Experts estimate it could take any- where from three months to a year to reactivate the reactor. The nuclear vows and a rising tide of threats in recent weeks are seen as efforts by the North to force disarmament-for-aid talks with Washington and to increase domestic loyalty to young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by portraying him as a powerful military commander. The U.S. called for North Korea to abandon its nu- clear ambitions, saying it would be “extremely alarm- ing” if Pyongyang follows through on a vow to restart its plutonium reactor. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the U.S. is taking steps to ensure it has the capacity to defend itself and its allies, and that President Barack Obama is being updated regularly. By Foster Klug & Hyung-Jin KimAssociated PressNEW YORK — Jim Riches pulled his son’s mangled body out of the rubble at the World Trade Center, but the phone calls still filtered in years af- terward. The city kept finding more pieces of his son. “They’ll call you and they’ll tell you, ‘We found a shin bone,’” Riches said. “Or: ‘We found an arm bone.’ We held them all together and then we put them in the cemetery.” Those are the phone calls both dreaded and hoped for among the families of Sept. 11 victims. And as investi- gators began sifting through newly uncovered debris from the World Trade Center this week for the first time in three years, those anxiet- ies were renewed more than a decade after the attacks. But there was hope that more victims might be identi- fied after tens of millions have been spent on the identifica- tion process. Two potential human remains were recov- ered on Monday, according to a medical examiner. “We would like to see the other 40 percent of the fami- lies who have never recovered anything to at least someday have a piece of their loved one., Riches said. About 60 truckloads of debris that could contain tiny fragments of bone or tissue were unearthed by construc- tion crews that have been working on the new World Trade Center in recent years. That material is now being transported to a park built on top of the former Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island, where investigators will at- tempt to find any possible remains during the next 10 weeks,. That’s the mate- rial the two potential human remains were found in. The city’s last sifting effort ended in 2010. This time, crews were able to dig up parts of the trade center site that were previously inaccessible to workers, the city said. Some 2,750 people died at the World Trade Center in the 2001 terrorist attacks, but only 1,634 people have been identified. “We have been monitor- ing the World Trade Center site over time and monitoring the construction,” said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office. “And if they see any material that could possibly contain human remains, we collect that material.” About 9,000 human remains recovered from the ruins of the World Trade Center remain unidenti- fied because they are too degraded to match victims by DNA identification. The remains are stored at an undisclosed location monitored by the medical examiner’s office and will eventually be transferred to a subterranean chamber at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

The air strikes early Wednes- day morning were the first launched by Israel since an informal cease-fire in Novem- ber ended eight days of cross- border fighting, the bloodiest between Israel and the Hamas- ruled Gaza Strip in four years. An Israeli military state- ment said its planes targeted “two extensive terror sites” with “accurate hits.” UN adopts treaty to regulate arms tradeUNITED NATIONS — The U.N. General Assembly over- whelmingly approved the first international treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade Tuesday, after a more than decade-long cam- paign to keep weapons from falling into the hands of ter- rorists, warlords, organized crime figures and human rights violators. Loud cheers erupted in the assembly chamber as the elec- tronic board flashed the final vote: 154 in favor, 3 against and 23 abstentions. “This is a victory for the world’s people,” U.N. Secre- tary-General Ban Ki-moon said. “The Arms Trade Treaty will make it more difficult for deadly weapons to be di- verted into the illicit market. ... It will be a powerful new tool in our efforts to prevent grave human rights abuses or violations of international humanitarian law.” The United States, the world’s biggest arms exporter, voted yes. Iran, North Korea and Syria — all facing arms embargoes — cast the only no votes. They argued, among other things, that the agreement favors major arms suppliers like the U.S. over importers that need weapons for self-defense. U.S., French tourists kidnapped in RioRIO DE JANEIRO — A night out on the town turned into a nightmare after an American woman was gang raped and beaten aboard a public transport van while her French boyfriend was handcuffed, hit with a crow- bar and forced to watch the attacks, police said. The incidents raise new questions about security in Rio, which has won kudos for its crackdown on once-endemic drug violence in preparation for hosting next year’s football World Cup and the 2016 Sum- mer Olympic games. The city also will be playing host to World Youth Day, a Roman Catholic pilgrimage that will be attended by Pope Francis and is expected to draw some 2 million people in late July. Senator arrested in alleged race plotNEW YORK — A Demo- cratic state lawmaker was ar- rested along with five other politicians Tuesday in an al- leged plot to pay tens of thou- sands of dollars in bribes to GOP bosses to let him run for mayor of New York City as a Republican. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara called it an “unappetizing smor- gasbord of graft and greed” that reveals a New York politi- cal culture defined by a single rule: “Show me the money.” Malcolm Smith, 56, who has served at times as the state Senate’s majority and minor- ity leader since becoming a senator in March 2000, was arrested along with Republi- can New York City Council- man Dan Halloran, 42, and four other political figures. — Compiled from Associated Press reportsNEWS BRIEFLYNorth Koreato reactivate nuke reactorMark Lennihan | Associated PressConstruction workers and equipment excavate the southeastern corner of the World Trade Center site in this Jan. 8, 2008 file photo taken in New York.

Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls, filed SB 1467, a bill formally establish- ing economic and tax incentives to American gun manufacturers, in an attempt to encourage them to move their operations to Texas. “Gun manufacturers and people in that industry have been under attack by states who are threatening their Second Amendment rights,” said Estes, according to The Texas Tribune. “We want them to realize that Texas is open for business and Texas is a gun-friendly state.” This follows weeks of letter-writing and lobbying by prominent Texas conservatives, like Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. The campaign has focused particularly on states that have enacted restrictive gun control policies. In that sense it mirrors Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott’s belligerent advertising campaign earlier this year en- couraging gun-owning New Yorkers to move to Texas. The difference between then and now is that Abbott paid for the ads with his own campaign money. We’re happy to solicit greater economic investment in Texas, but these initiatives are in- dicative of political grandstanding rather than good economic policy. In a Senate Agriculture, Rural Affairs and Homeland Security Committee, Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, pointed out that Este’s proposed tax breaks would cost the state $37.7 billion in lost revenue. Of that, $6.2 billion, Uresti said, would come at the expense of already-strapped Texas school districts. Another potential problem is the fact that if President Barack Obama and congressional Dem- ocrats succeed in passing an assault weapons ban, Texas will have spent billions propping up an industry that will suddenly find itself cut off at the knees. However, like the budget proposal, Uresti’s sole “no” vote failed to keep Estes’ bill from pass- ing committee and going to the Senate floor. If Perry, Estes and other Republican leaders want to score political points by cozying up to gun manufacturers, they certainly have that right, but they shouldn’t do it with our money. Texas schools need it far more. Give dignity, not just dollarsTravis KnollDaily Texan Columnist“Drag rats” and panhandlers soliciting money on Guada- lupe Street are a daily sight for most UT students. As I was walking along the Drag recently, a blind man approached me and asked me for some money to get a taxi to the Texas School for the Blind on 45th Street. He claimed a car had hit him and his cane was broken. Figuring that he might be tell- ing the truth — the address he had given me was the school’s actual address — I offered to walk him to St. Austin’s Catho- lic Church or the University Catholic Center to call for a taxi instead of hailing one on the street. I could then make sure that everyone knew where he was supposed to be going and possibly help him out with any other needs. He didn’t take too kindly to this suggestion, asking me to have “trust in hu- manity and him” that he would call the taxi. Out of frustration at my insistence that I wanted to help but did not want to simply give cash, he ran out into the mid- dle of the street screaming, “Does anyone in this world give a damn about a blind man?” Luckily he wasn’t harmed and got only some bewildered looks from passersby. I was saddened by his refusal of help, but I couldn’t help wondering whether in a sense the man was right. I don’t think we should satiate our guilty consciences by forking over pocket change, but this man’s scream speaks to our need to ignore the periphery. Are we called to help people? Daniel Bonevac, a UT philosophy professor who studies ethics, believes we need a careful balance. “Although you can’t help everyone, the obligation of charity is a real obli- gation … a general obligation [irrespective of religion],” he says. Bonevac recognizes that some can make hundreds of dollars a day off of panhandling, but he challenges us not to take the easy way out. “A rabbinical saying states that it’s bet- ter to give to five con artists than to not give to one person in need,” he says. I asked him how to avoid endangering the beggar, such as inadvertently giving money for drug use. Bonevac encour- aged buying food and goods that are not easily traded. He adds that he tends to take extra steps to ensure that people have roofs over their heads, noting, “I currently have some- one staying at my house that would be homeless otherwise.” Bonevac says that recognizing the dignity of the individu- al by engaging with him or her also extends to how we think about the political sphere. He believes that nonprofits and churches should not merely take a back seat while handing their responsibilities over to government, but should fill in the cracks that government misses. “When local organiza- tions go in, they know the needs of the community. While it’s a necessary actor, the federal government is too large to be able to know all of the specifics.” Bonevac is not alone in this belief. When the newly-elected Pope Francis resided in Argentina as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he reportedly visited slums weekly and contrasted between what he saw as social programs that merely take into account people’s most basic physical needs, and the real work of commu- nity solidarity and engagement that goes a step further by acknowledging the individual. Most people agree that we should give, but Bonevac, like Pope Francis, calls us not just to feed the poor. Rather, they charge us to be present for the marginalized, whether by sit- ting down for a quick conversation on the Drag, or even with a split second of eye contact. One thing is for sure: We should not push uncomfortable realities aside and bury our guilt by “giving a dollar when we pass.” The next time someone asks you for a dollar, give your attention and your time instead. Knoll is a Latin American Studies senior from Dallas. Here’s an arithmetic problem: While back-to-school shopping, Dave gives his son Pete $10 to buy a calculator. The next year Dave gives Pete only $5 for the same model of calculator, and Pete can’t afford it. After Pete fails math in spectacular fashion, Dave agrees to give Pete the five addi- tional dollars he’d taken away. However, calculators now cost $12. Can Pete afford the calculator? If you said yes, then congratulations, you’re about as good at math as the Texas Senate Finance Committee. When the Texas Senate passed its proposed budget on March 20, many hailed it as a major step in repairing the $5.4 billion in cuts to public education from the 2011 legislative session. Those cuts were struck down as unconstitutional by a state district court earlier this year, after hun- dreds of broke school districts sued the state government in desperation. The new Senate bud- get restored $1.5 billion for public education. Claiming the matter to be settled, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, said, “We have completely funded enrollment growth in public education.” Not so fast. As Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, brought up during the debate, statistics com- piled by the Center for Public Policy Priorities, a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy institute, show that after adjusting for inflation, the amount of money spent per student at the end of the next biennium will be $185 less than it had been in 2012 and $980 less than it had been before the 2011 cuts. The state’s formula-based funding methodology does not take inflation into account. When presented with the data, Williams responded, “I don’t believe that’s the case, but there’s room for us to disagree.” It’s admittedly not our strongest subject, but we’re pretty sure math isn’t open to such broad interpretation. Even with this questionable arithmetic, the final budget overwhelmingly passed the Senate. Just don’t be fooled by anyone suggesting this was a resounding victory for public education in Texas. Every first-grader in the state can understand that giving them less money and calling it more calls for voters to expel legislators from the classroom. I am writing to express my concern and dis- may in the way you reported the membership of the search committee for the expedited replace- ment of outgoing Provost Steven Leslie. I read the names and positions of four of the five very important and high-ranking people who make up the “five other members” (besides President William Powers Jr.) of this committee — name, comma, rank, semicolon — followed by “and a staff member from the provost’s office” (no name, no position). I cannot begin to tell you how that dismissal affects my morale as one of thousands of nameless, invisible, but dedicated and indis- pensable staff members University-wide. I realize that there could be many reasons why the staff member was not named. Perhaps the staff member wishes to remain anonymous. Perhaps the staff member’s identity needs to remain anonymous for internal reasons in the provost’s office. But if you don’t name the staff member who is important enough to be one of the five other committee members, you must tell your readers why that staff person is un- named. Omitting the name of the staff member in your article without this explanation sends the wrong message. Please make sure in future articles that the same parallel information, if mentioned for one, is included for all. Marilyn HarrisAdministrative associateDivision of Statistics and Scientific ComputationVIEWPOINTFIRING LINENo name, no position, no fairMath lesson for LegislatureSchools, not gun makers, need tax dollars The future of the Demo- cratic Party might be right here in the red state of Texas. San Antonio’s twin politi- cians U.S. Rep. Joaquin Cas- tro, D-San Antonio, and San Antonio mayor Julian Castro spent Tuesday eve- ning at the Lyndon B. John- son School of Public Affairs discussing their party’s role in Texas politics. The Castro brothers lob- bied Monday at the Capitol for an extension of Medicaid, two hours after Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn denounced the extension. Texas Tribune Editor-in- Chief and CEO Evan Smith said 28 million Texans are currently uninsured, and Ju- lian Castro said there are mil- lions of unpaid ambulance fees in San Antonio. In addition to raising con- cern over medical costs, Ju- lian Castro said Gov. Perry has not been properly pri- oritizing investments. Ju- lian Castro said Gov. Perry should not have vetoed a tax initiative to increase funding to San Antonio preschools. Joaquin Castro said Texas and Alaska were the only states to decline to compete in Race to the Top, a program that offered states money to come up with the best prac- tices to increase innovation in K-12 education. “It was, I think, a missed opportunity to set national standards with other states, to really come onto some new ideas and innovative poli- cies,” Joaquin said. The interview was fol- lowed by audience questions. In response to a question, Ju- lian Castro said the electoral college is fine the way it is. On the other hand, he said that eliminating the Electoral College would be an oppor- tunity for direct democracy. “There’s nothing more powerful than when folks themselves are motivated to participate in democratic process,” Julian Castro said. Julian and Joaquin Castro described their positions on gun control during the talk. Joaquin Castro said he thinks changes regarding guns can be made while still supporting the second amendment. Julian Castro said high-capacity maga- zines carry the element of surprise, which is not good public policy, but reasonable requirements can be put in place in certain situations, such as for self defense. Joaquin Castro also dis- cussed immigration and said that currently the net migration rate between America and Mexico is ap- proximately zero because of the struggling U.S. economy, the increase of border pa- trol agents and a booming Mexican economy. “This is the moment that we should do comprehensive reform,” Joaquin Castro said. JuliaCastro said he thinks America is positioned to succeed in the next century as long as the country im- proves education. In order to do that, America must build up an infrastructure of opportunity, according to Joaquin Castro. Julian and Joaquin Cas- tro first became interested in politics in 1994 when they ran for, and won, po- sitions in the student sen- ate at Stanford University, according to Julian.

Donna Camp- bell, R-New Braunfels, would limit the amount of classroom hours required to obtain a concealed handgun license. The bill would reduce the 10-hour minimum, 15- hour maximum state-man- dated class time to a mini- mum of four hours and maximum of six. Campbell cited current state laws’ inefficiency and an indi- vidual’s constitutional free- dom as the driving forces behind the bill. The bill would not change the test standards or the testing process. Students would still have to take and pass state- mandated writing and gun range exams. “We’re trying to not waste people’s time,” Campbell said. “There are certainly options for those who feel they need more time or need to repeat a test. We’re just trying to take away some legislation that has built-in inefficiencies.” According to a bill analysis filed March 28, a statute requiring a CHL licensure course was en- acted in 1997. The course curriculum was not fi- nalized, and Campbell’s bill is the first to address the discrepancy between mandated course hours and the timed delivery of the course curriculum. The bill was discussed Tuesday before the Senate Committee on Criminal Justice. It was not met with much opposition. Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, who chaired the committee agreed the current CHL curriculum was inefficient. “I took the course and I thought it was terribly long,” Whitmire said. “The safety aspects were cov- ered easily in the first half of the session. The rest felt like filler.” State cancer agency to close doors soonThe state’s troubled can- cer agency suffered anoth- er blow Tuesday after the foundation that supports the agency announced it would close its doors within 60 days. The CPRIT Founda- tion, which is undergoing investigation along with the agency it supports, the Cancer Prevention and Re- search Institute of Texas, sought to rebrand itself as the Texas Cancer Coali- tion to distance itself from controversy surrounding the Institute. Officials from the In- stitute foiled that plan by asking the Texas At- torney General’s Office to make sure the foundation gave its remaining funds to the state. The foundation’s ex- ecutive director Jennifer Stevens told the House Committee on Transpar- ency in State Operations that the foundation would still have $258,457 of its $613,513 remaining cash on hand to pay for its lin- gering commitments to CPRIT among other costs, according to the Austin American-Statesman. CPRIT came under fire in 2012 for mismanaging three grants totalling $56 million, and also received criticism for its lack of transparency and insis- tence on keeping its donor list confidential. Voters ap- proved the agency’s forma- tion in 2007. The agency received $3 billion in bonds for the purpose of funding cancer research statewide. The Legislature estab- lished the foundation in 2009 and tasked it with raising private donations to support salaries for the in- stitution’s executives. Bills aim to criminalizeuse of synthetic drugsTwo proposed bills filed by State Sen. Joan Huff- man, R-Houston, would strengthen current drug laws to facilitate the battle against dangerous synthetic drugs known as K2 and 25I. K2 and 25I are referred to as “designer drugs” due to their chemical composi- tions, which can be modified by street chemists to skirt drug laws and avoid crimi- nal prosecution for sales and consumption. K2 is consid- ered a synthetic cannabinoid, while 25I is a hallucinogenic substance that mimics the effects of psychoactive drugs like LSD and ecstasy. “Designer drugs are a growing threat to health and public safety that have al- ready harmed many families and individuals — a signifi- cant number of whom are young people,” Huffman said in a press release. According to the press re- lease, Texas Poison Control centers received 470 expo- sure calls for K2 in 2012. 25I was blamed for the deaths of two young Houston resi- dents last year, 21-year-old Kevin Schoolmeyer and a 15-year-old female who died a month after him. The first bill would crimi- nalize new compounds of synthetic cannabinoids produced since the original bill banning K2 was passed during the last legislative ses- sion. The bill calls for a wid- ening of legal parameters to enable law enforcement to crack down on street chem- ists with increased efficiency and effectiveness. “They’re trying to clean up the language to encom- pass all substances that may be a synthetic cannabinoid,” said Houston Police De- partment officer Mike Bac- cus after testifying in sup- port of the bill at a public hearing Tuesday. “If it’s not in the law, we can’t enforce it,” Baccus said. The second bill would criminalize the distribution, possession and manufactur- ing of 25I. The drug is cur- rently sold unregulated on- line as a research chemical. “Many young people in Texas mistakenly believe designer drugs are safe be- cause they’re sold in stores and on the Internet,” Huff- man said. “In fact, there is no beneficial or legitimate use for these products and they can cause life-threatening symptoms or death to those who use them.” Lt. Gray Smith of the Narcotics Division of the Houston Police Depart- ment expressed his sup- port for the bills, citing the designer drug problem plaguing his city and the surrounding area. “Houston and the sur- rounding Gulf Coast Re- gion have seen significant production, distribution and consumer sales of these substances which have caused so much harm na- tionally,” Smith said. “These bills will allow for the closer coordination between the police, crime labs and the courts and aid in bringing criminal prosecutions re- garding these substances to a successful conclusion.” By Alberto Long83RD LEGISLATUREUNIVERSITYBy Amanda Voellermobilize students,” Villarreal said. “We’re only one mile from the Capitol and it’s cru- cial we make our presence.” After the press confer- ence, students witnessed the official proclamation of In- vest in Texas Legislative Day and visited various govern- ment officials to lobby for student concerns. Melissa Dunn, supply chain management se- nior and curriculum com- mittee member, said the event was a small way to make a difference. “These are all things I re- ally care about,” Dunn said. “I’m passionate about educa- tion policy, and I’m going to be participating in Teach for America. So, Invest in Texas fits right in there.” Business and his- tory sophomore Miriam Petsch volunteered to help lead students to the Capi- tol as well as administer information packets. “Education is my niche of politics that I dabble in,” Petsch said. “With prices soaring all over campus and not enough grants being distributed, the issue needs to be addressed. If we don’t make UT affordable, we threaten its diversity.“ INVESTcontinues from page 1Mikhaela LocklearDaily Texan StaffTwin politicians Julian and Joaquin Castro discussed Texas politics with Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs on Tuesday evening. The brothers covered topics such as Medicaid, medi- cal costs and gun control. —Alberto Long—Rudner—Joshua Fechter It seems to happen every year. A handful of skill posi- tion players impress at Tex- as’ annual spring game and are practically never heard from again. Last year, tight end D.J. Grant caught two passes for 58 yards and a touchdown, a 54-yarder from Jaxon Shipley. Grant had just 14 catches as a senior last year and Shipley didn’t complete a pass all season despite throwing three touchdowns in 2011. After running for 82 yards and a touchdown, a 60-yard- er on the opening drive of last year’s Orange-White Scrimmage, D.J. Monroe av- eraged more than 15 yards a touch in 2012 — but touched the ball just 46 times in 13 games. DeSean Hales, who had a game-high four catches for 61 yards and a touchdown in last year’s spring game, left the program last August. This year, it was wide receivers Kendall Sand- ers and John Harris who turned heads in the Orange- White Scrimmage on Sat- urday. Harris hauled in four catches for a game-high 92 yards, 35 of them coming on an over-the-shoulder grab inside the 5-yard line despite tight coverage from Carrington Byndom. Sanders caught just one pass but he made it count. Facing a 2nd-and-2 from the 24-yard line, David Ash threw across the field to Sanders for a short gain, but the sophomore from Athens slipped out of the grasp of a pair of defenders and sprint- ed down the sideline and into the end zone. “That’s what we need,” Co-offensive Coordina- tor Major Applewhite said of Harris’ and Sanders’ ef- forts. “We need those Jer- emy Hills-types who are the glues of your team. Those guys that have been around the program three or four years, know how things are done and played a lot of football. Those two guys have done a great job. Those are the Chris Ogbonnayas and the Brian Carters that make championship teams.” With Marquise Goodwin pursuing his NFL dreams and Shipley nursing a ham- string injury, Sanders and Harris got an opportunity to show what they could and took advantage of it. But if Texas wants to have a pro- ductive passing game this upcoming season, guys like Sanders and Harris have to get a chance when the games count this fall. “In our room when a man goes down, the next man has to come in and make plays,” senior Mike Davis said. “That is what we have been stress- ing all spring. They have been doing a great job of that.” Now the Longhorns need to trust Harris and Sanders to do a great job when they suit up this season. Senior Blaire Luna re- ceived her second straight Big 12 conference Pitcher of the Week award Tuesday, marking the third time this season and the 12th time in her career she has received this award. This is the first time in her career that she has claimed back-to-back Big 12 Pitcher of the Week honors, and she is the first Texas pitcher to do so since Cat Osterman won three straight in 2006. This past week, Luna (17- 1) notched two victories over Kansas in Lawrence. In the 13 innings she was in the circle, she allowed just four hits to Kansas, who entered the series with the nation’s best batting average, while fanning 18. In Big 12 play, Luna sports a 4-0 record and 0.48 ERA. She is the third UT pitcher to ever start a season 17-1, joining Rachel Fox (2011) and Osterman (2006). Luna has been dominant recently, allowing three hits or fewer in each of her last eight appearances. Her 1.11 ERA is the 11th- best in the country, her 17 wins are the 10th-most, her 217 strikeouts are the third- best and her 12.7 strikeouts per seven innings are the most in the nation. Many expected Luna to be the second-best pitcher in the conference behind Keilani Ricketts of Okla- homa, last season’s National Player of the Year. But so far, their performances have been relatively even. Ricketts (15-1, 1.00 ERA) is on par with the Texas ace. They are expected to square off April 19 in Austin. Luna and the Longhorns (32-4) return to action Wednesday with a 2 p.m. doubleheader against Mc- Neese State after the a double- header scheduled for Tuesday was canceled that night. Whoever said that num- bers don’t lie wasn’t talking about the Longhorns. Augie Garrido has built the Texas baseball program on two things: solid defense and sacrificing for the good of the offense. This philoso- phy has been largely success- ful under his 17-year tenure as head coach. As Texas (16-11, 2-4) was set to enter its non-district matchup with Texas A&M- Corpus Christi last night, a game that was postponed, the numbers that bolster this philosophy appeared to tell the whole story. In their previous six games, the Longhorns were hitting .316 as a team with a 4-2 record. Mark Payton, Erich Weiss and Alex Silver all had bat- ting averages over .400 dur- ing the six-game stretch, helping the team post five double-digit hit games in the stretch. However, when tak- ing wins and losses together in the same equation, the Longhorns’ real troubles re- main invisible. In the two losses the Long- horns suffered in their previ- ous six games, both to Okla- homa State, they recorded 21 hits to 22 runners left on base. Silver and Payton, who coincidently have two of the highest batting averages on the team, went a com- bined 4-15 at the plate in the two losses. Payton, who has made a habit of leaving runners on base this season, went just 2-9 at the plate in Texas’ two loss- es to the Cowboys, stranding five runners in the process. Silver, despite not leaving any runners on base, only had two hits in his seven at bats, with no RBIs. When realizing that Okla- homa State committed six errors as a team in these two victories over Texas, the re- sult becomes even more trou- bling. While the Longhorns’ pitching did little to help the cause by surrendering a combined seven first-inning runs in the two losses, a fail- ure to convert remained the biggest disappointment for the Longhorns. It is true that a .316 batting average over six games says a lot about Texas’ ability to get on base.

The celebrated right-hand- er from Japan struck out 14 and appeared to be in com- plete control before Gonza- lez smacked the first pitch up the middle. Darvish was unable to get his glove down in time and the ball skittered into center field well beyond a desperate dive by shortstop Elvis Andrus. Darvish put up his hands — almost like, “Oh well, it happens.” Texas’ infielders immediately came to the mound, and manager Ron Washington joined them. Washington patted Darvish on the chest and then signaled for a reliever. A crowd that included plenty of Rang- ers fans cheered Darvish as he walked off after 111 pitches. Darvish nearly picked up right where baseball left off last year, when there were a record three perfect games, thrown by Philip Humber, Matt Cain and Felix Hernandez. If Darvish had been able to finish the job Tuesday, it would have been the earliest perfecto in history. He didn’t really need a daz- zling play from his defense as he shut down the Astros and chased the 24th perfect game in big league history. He began the ninth by get- ting two easy groundouts be- fore Gonzalez ruined his bid for perfection. The 24-year- old Gonzalez made his big league debut last year, hitting .234 in 80 games for Houston. Darvish has never thrown a complete game in the majors. TERMS There are no refunds or credits.

The Longhorns (303-306- 301) ended the tourna- ment at 46-over-par. Pressel (75-78-72) re- corded three consecutive birdies at the eighth, ninth and 10th holes. Scores over-par included bogeys at holes 6, 15 and 17. Du- breuil (75-73-77) shared the same score of 9-over 225 as Pressel. Dubreuil started the final round with a birdie at the open- ing hole but bogeyed six times in the round. Du- breuil and Pressel ended the tournament in a tie for 12th place. Sophomore Bertine Strauss (76-77-78) tied for 26th at 15-over 231. Senior Katelyn Sepmoree (77-78- 77) finished one stroke be- hind Strauss at 16-over 232 for 30th place. Freshman Tezira Abe (78-84-75) finished at 21- over 237 and tied for 46th place. Fellow freshman Natalie Karcher (77-78-78) competed as an individual and ended the tournament tied for 31st place at 17- over 233. The top-ranked Tro- jans claimed their fourth team title of the year. As a team, USC (298-289-288) carded at 11-over 875. On the player leaderboard USC’s Sophia Popov fin- ished in first place, one stroke over. A week before postsea- son play commences with the Big 12 Tournament on April 19, the Longhorns have one last regular season tournament scheduled in the PING/ASU Invitational at the ASU Karsten Golf Course in Tempe, Ariz. Desiree DubreuilSeniorLonghorns have averaged 5.2 runs per contest during that span, but only three of these games truly mattered to their overall record. In a 5-3 win over Texas State last Tuesday, Texas recorded 11 hits and stranded nine bas- erunners. Payton went 3-for-4 in the victory while Silver was 2-for-3 with two RBIs but in the Longhorns’ two losses to Oklahoma State this past weekend, those two play- ers failed to show up when it mattered most. Texas likely would have won against Texas A&M- Corpus Christi, holding a 16-2 all-time record against the team, with 14 of those wins coming at home. But these stats gain credibility because they are mostly wins, not losses. When judging the 4-2 revitalization over the last six games in relation to the season as a whole, the losses should be the first thing seen. When you look past the batting averages of Payton (.421) and Silver (.348) and look just a bit closer at the numbers, Texas still appears to be an average team despite a dash of momentum.

Maria- chi makes you fall in love be- cause it’s fun, but it’s also my roots, my language and what I stand for. It’s a way of life, keeping you gentle, bring- ing the family together … it’s passion.” This passion comes across on stage as audience members become part of Metalachi’s performance. “Our fans love to sing along with us, and the girls love to come up on stage and get serenaded,” La Rockha said. “Without our devoted fans, our shows wouldn’t be what they always are.” Maximilian “Dirty” San- chez said his favorite thing about performing is watch- ing emotions change across the audience’s faces as they rock out. From shocked, to confused, to enraged, to orgasmic, Metalachi provokes its audience in multiple ways. “Our shows are like a big fiesta. We love to be on stage, playing, laughing and soak- ing up all the chi-chi love,” El Cucuy said. “But we have all people … All together and all amigos singing together, but songs of metal music.” Clad in face paint, outra- geous costumes, long hair and unusual hats, La Rockha said the sombreros are the most important part of the band’s costumes. Having lost count of how many girls have asked him for his hat, La Rockha said the sombre- ros are what gives Metalachi its power, much like Samson and his long hair. “Our sombreros are part of who we are!” El Cucuy said. “Is like Magnum, P.I. without his mustache, or Lindsey Lohan without her going to jail drama.” With it being the 21st century, you would think someone would have come up with the idea of metal and mariachi being played together by now, but it takes a bold group of people to mix these genres. “Others would be afraid of what people would say,” “Dirty” Sanchez said. “But we don’t give a shit!” thousands of people tend to produce extreme tem- peratures and voluminous quantities of vomit. Among others things, these corpo- rate-sponsored raves are difficult to manage from a logistical standpoint. Roger Wade, senior pub- lic information officer at the Travis County Sheriff’s Of- fice, said extra patrols will be on duty Saturday to help control traffic and monitor any illegal activities that take place during the event. Although Committee Entertainment bars entry to guests that are visibly intoxicated and does not serve alcohol at its events, the company treads on thin ice with a number of col- lege administrations. Back in 2011 when Dayglow visited Lehigh University, the party had “mass casu- alties” with approximately 44 attendees rushed to nearby hospitals for medi- cal treatment. In April of last year, the University of Maine strained to handle 16 medical transportations. Common injuries at Day- glow events have included severe dehydration due to alcohol consumption, hy- pothermia and eye irritation from sprayed paint. In spite of such dangers, Committee Entertainment continues to attract new cus- tomers every year. The Life in Color rave is now a direct competitor for the Barstool Blackout Tour, a similar concert event sponsored by the male-oriented blog, Bar- stool Sports. The marketing teams for both companies have often butted heads while vying for a dwindling number of cooperative ven- ues. Dave Portnoy, owner and head blogger of the on- line sports website, wrote in a charged blog entry last spring that he sees a rather apparent double standard. “Take for example to- night. [University of Mas- sachusetts] Lowell is host- ing Dayglow at Tsongas arena. This is the same venue where I tried to book the Blackout Tour, but was told by the [general man- ager that] while she’d love to do it, the [University of Massachusetts] adminis- trators said no,” Portnoy wrote. “They were fine with Dayglow though.” Committee Entertain- ment has been denied re- entry to its fair share of venues as well, including Le- high University and Central Michigan University. Aus- tin, however, has consistent- ly hosted Dayglow concerts for the past couple of years. Perhaps it’s an unrealistic expectation for 2,500 ex- cited college-age students to gather in a safe and or- derly fashion, but even if a rave manages to hospitalize 15 people, that’s less than 1 percent of the total concert- going population. Colton Lewis, Plan II Honors Program and biolo- gy freshman, explained that he is “not entirely sure what to expect” at the concert this weekend. “I bought some crazy clothes from a thrift store last weekend, so I’m ready in that sense,” Lewis said. “But I’m really hoping things don’t get too out of hand.” following so many people that, in a way, I no longer follow anyone because I can’t keep up. It’s more fun, and more realistic, to follow a dozen or so people. DT: Do you see Twitter as a competitor to Facebook and other social media plat- forms, or as its own entity? Stone: Twitter is its own entity. It isn’t a social net- work, and it’s not blogging. Twitter is an invention in the communications world that we didn’t know we needed until we had it. DT: What does your every- day look like? Stone: I stepped away from day-to-day work at Twitter about a year and a half ago so now I only visit occasionally to look at new product designs, talk to the CEO, visit with friends, etc. DT: Twitter is all about fast, quick news. Where does Twitter fit in the chang- ing landscape of news and journalism? Stone: Twitter helps spread information and good ideas. Journalism and Twitter are complimentary because without deeper, thoughtful, journalistic pieces, there would not be as many important ideas spreading through a net- work of millions. DT: You were named Nerd of the Year in 2009 by GQ Magazine. Who are some other “nerds” you admire? Stone: I think “Nerd of The Year” is a bit of a back- handed compliment but I’ll take it. The people I admire are the people I know, the people I learn from and the people who inspire me. This list includes my long time collaborators and friends — Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams and Jason Goldman. DT: The next big thing is a constant conversation topic, do you have any clues about where the next big site or idea will come from? Stone: Mobile is the space to watch. Mobile are the most intimate witness to our lives, they are the things we cannot leave home with- out, they keep us all con- nected. The possibilities are rich for mobile services and platforms. one last time, preferably by email and snail mail. Set a time when they must respond by and make this deadline explicit in the messages you send. Be cor- dial to your old roommate — while you may not be friends anymore, you did live together, so use that shared past to appeal to her sense of fairness. If you are met with silence, you’re go- ing to have to think through your options carefully. If the $120 is really important to you, all I can say is that it’s time to contact a lawyer. But if it seems like more trouble than it’s worth, you’re just going to have to take the hit and move on. sexual health issues that are an integral aspect of that process,” Jekanowski said in a statement released on March 24. In an email statement, Dunn argued that “as a Je- suit, Catholic university, there are certain Catholic commitments that Boston College is called to uphold.” “We recognize that, as a reflection of society at large, many students do not agree with the church’s position on these issues,” Dunn said. “However, we ask those who do not agree to be respectful of our position and circum- spect in their private affairs.” Even as a religious in- stitute, is it reasonable for Boston College officials to demand an end to the sex- ual health program that stu- dents at the university have voiced a need for? After all, The Boston Globe reports that BCSSH receives a $400 grant each semester from Advocates for Youth, passes out 1,000 to 1,500 condoms per se- mester from the Great American Condom Cam- paign and even received a $500 grant and sev- eral hundred female con- doms from FC2, a female condom company. Students at Boston and in every other college in America who do decide to engage in sexual activities, deserve access to medically accurate sex education and resources that can empow- er healthy decision mak- ing when it comes to sex and sexuality. If you happen to be one of those students at UT, make sure to take advantage of the abundance of sexual health resources, such as free con- doms, that are available to students on our very own campus at the Health Pro- motion Resource Center (SSB 1.106).

Dearest Riley, Our roommate is run- ning herself into the ground with her club athletics team. She wanted to quit at the beginning of the year, and we strongly encouraged her. Technically she did quit, but kept showing up to practice anyway. Now she has resumed the very stressful role of team president. She acts like she’s listening to our advice, then completely disregards it. She insists things will be different this time, but we are skepti- cal. Any advice on how to get through to her? We’re worried about her well-being. —Concerned RoomiesDear Concerned Roomies, First things first: Is she getting anything out of the position? If you think she is, you’ll have to weigh your options carefully. While stress can have deleterious effects on one’s health, some people thrive on it or at the very least find it motivating. However, if it has turned into nothing more than a drain on her time and energy, it is time to step in and help her out. You’re going to need to have a serious talk with her, but it can’t just be a vague one about your concern for her. You need to make the negative effects the job is having on her painfully ap- parent. Surely she’s begun to show signs of exhaustion and is paying the price for it in other areas of her life, so make a list of “consequences” you’ve seen as a result of her overtaxing herself. Then sit her down and go through them one by one. Reassure her that this is all coming from a good place and hope it sinks in. Dearest Riley, This January, I realized that my former roommates owe me $120 from utilities from last August. However, I am no longer on speaking terms with one of the roommates for personal reasons, and the other was her good friend who sublet during the sum- mer. I have emailed them both but not heard anything back. I know it’s from August, but $120 is not an insignifi- cant amount of money. What should I do? Thanks, Ex-RoomieDear Ex-Roomie, Always a believer in giv- ing people another chance, I say you try to contact them With a communal love for sombreros, Spanish, chi-chis and Black Sabbath, Metalachi was born under the marriage of mariachi and metal to become the world’s first and only heavy metal mariachi band. El Cucuy, the trumpet player for Metalachi, said the band members learned to play mariachi first, but were quickly influenced by Black Sabbath. Instead of using electric instru- ments, they played their mariachi instruments. Metalachi, with its roots in Mexico, came together as five men with a simple love for mariachi and hard rock. Now they travel across the country to entertain audiences with their shocking costumes and novel form of music. Vega De La Rockha, lead vocals for Metalachi, said that metal and mariachi work well together because people need a little spice in their lives. La Rockha said in their case, Metalachi decided to put some of that spice into metal. After playing in Austin recently during this year’s South By Southwest, the band members expressed their excitement to play in Austin again and looked forward to their crowd of Austin amigos. Playing rock and metal classics such as “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses, Metalachi’s music resonates long after hearing the iconic blend of the mariachi trum- pet, violin and guitars with the piercing sound of La Rockha’s vocals. While the band’s music successfully creates a cohe- sive sound and subgenre of its own, some people are still skeptical of the combination of two unlikely genres of music. Typically fans of hard metal aren’t fans of tradition- al mariachi, and vice versa. “On both genres you have many people that are purists and think of it as a sin to change the music,” El Cucuy said. “First, you need an open mind, second, you need the passion, third, you need the know-how and the commitment.” El Cucuy said mariachi is great because it is very tradi- tional, but the arrangement of the two genres together is what feels right. By Jourden SanderMETALACHIWhen: Wednesday, 8 p.m. Where: Antone’s, 213 W. Fifth St. Website: metalachi.comChristopher Isaac “Biz” Stone is a fa- ther of social media. He helped create Blog- ger and xanga.com and is most famous for co-founding Twitter. Stone will present a talk titled “Redefining Success” as a part of the lecture series put on by the Student Endowed Centennial Lectureship and the Distinguished Speakers Committee. The Daily Texan spoke with Stone about life after Twitter, his own Twitter feed and what he sees as the next big thing. The Daily Texan: How did you end up work- ing in social media? Biz Stone: When I was a little boy, I want- ed to be an “inventor.” I ended up becoming an artist, then found work as a graphic art- ist. When I started my own studio in the late 90s, I taught myself web design to build my client base. From web design, I went to “web startup.” My first venture was a blogging com- munity called xanga.com. Even though I was designing a large-scale system for people to express themselves and communicate, I took an artful approach because of my background as an artist and that’s where the “social” part came in for me. DT: How often do you check your own Twitter feed? Stone: I look at my Twitter feed a few times a day. I’d say I look more at what’s happening — what sort of news is breaking — more than my own feed these days. DT: You told The New York Times that there is a tipping point for how many people you can follow before it becomes overwhelming, where does that line rest? How does it affect user experience? Stone: As a society, I think we are still feeling our way through this world of social media. We’re still looking for the edges and getting our footing. I made the mistake of The word “tame” is not often used to describe the world’s largest paint party, which is scheduled to visit Austin on Saturday at The Backyard concert venue. Life in Color, the event for- merly known as Dayglow, attracts more than 2,500 at- tendees on average and has acquired a reputation for leaving paramedic teams scrambling to treat injured party-goers. Drawing inspiration from the Zion tribal rave in “The Matrix Reloaded,” Life in Color is a salacious dance party filled with paint, blar- ing house-music and a fair number of intoxicated col- lege students. The music component of the concert will be handled by techno artist R3hab. Michael Frazier, the direc- tor of operations at Commit- tee Entertainment, wrote in an e-mail that the show this weekend is “almost sold out.” Committee Entertain- ment, the Florida-based company responsible for concerts like Dayglow and Life in Color, has received a considerable amount of negative press over the years from college administrations and police departments alike. Confined spaces packed with Statistically and realisti- cally speaking, there are students having sex on ev- ery single college campus in America. These students deserve access to resources that can help to empower healthy decision-making when it comes to sex. Boston College — where administration recently threatened disciplinary ac- tion against a student-run sexual health group — is no different than UT, or any other college campus for that matter. On March 15, Boston College officials sent a let- ter demanding an end to Safe Sites, stations started by Boston College Students for Sexual Health (BCSSH) that provide free contracep- tion and safe-sex informa- tion for fellow students. The letter said that the distribu- tion of condoms is in con- flict with the university’s “responsibility to protect the values and traditions of Boston College as a Jesuit, Catholic institution.” “Private universities have the right to set their own policies and to discipline students who violate their policies. The distribution of condoms is incongruent with the university’s values and traditions,” Jack Dunn, spokesman for Boston Col- lege, told CNN. However, despite these allegations, students as well as Sarah Wunsch, staff at- torney of the American Civ- il Liberties Union (ACLU) of Massachusetts, are pushing back. “None of our actions have changed at all in the past four years,” BCSSH chair- woman Lizzie Jekanowski told NBC News. “It came out of nowhere.” According to The Boston Globe, Jekanowski said the Safe Sites program fills a need for BC students that the university does not pro- vide. Students can pick up free male and female con- doms, lubricant and pam- phlets about sexual health at one of the Safe Sites loca- tions, including dorms and one off-campus location. “We have the privilege of attending a Jesuit Catho- lic university so dedicated to the development of the self — both the body and the soul — that we find it both appropriate and nec- essary to advocate for these HUMPDAYBy Milla ImpolaBy Kelsey McKinneyBy Stuart RaileyWorld’s largest paint party poses safety threatsSEXJesuit school battles safe sexQ-AND-A | ‘BIZ’ STONETwitter co-founder reflects, talks future of social mediaMetalachi merges genresASK continues on page 8SAFE continues on page 8RAVE continues on page 8METAL continues on page 8BIZ continues on page 8Photo courtesy of the Creative Artists AgencyBiz Stone built his career out of creating new ways for us to interact on the internet.
