Following the eviction of RunTex from its 17-year-old location Thursday, RunTex officials say they are headed in a positive direction to continue their mission to help Austin residents get more fit. An eviction notice was posted on the door of Run- Tex’s Riverside location Thursday morning because the company is more than three months behind on its rent. “We didn’t expect what happened that day,” Run- Tex founder Paul Carrozza said. “I got a text from my landlord. We’ve had a good relationship for 17 years, but when you’re behind on rent, that’s kind of the landlord’s prerogative.” Carrozza attributed the company’s financial trou- bles to over-expansion in 2008. Carrozza said the company has been cutting back on the expansion in recent months, and had an- ticipated the Riverside store to be demolished to make room for apartment build- ings in the summer. “We expanded from three stores to five and that was hoping to be the pro- totype for expansion at the Triangle at UT,” Carrozza said. “So we did the big ex- pansion ... I just took on a lot, and that’s really what Despite knowing the risks of distracted driving, a growing number of legal- aged drivers are texting while behind the wheel of a moving vechicle. A recent AT&T Inc. poll revealed that nearly half of commuters texted while they drove a vehicle, 43 percent of whom called it a “habit.” The poll was released at the start of April, which is Distractive Driving Awareness Month. According to the Texas De- partment of Transportation, out of the more than 81,000 Texas crashes in 2011 that involved distraction, driver inattention or cell-phone use, 361 were fatal. Chandra Bhat, director of the University’s Center for Transportation Research and professor of engineering, said it is important to have an awareness month to present a discourse about distractive driving and inform the public of its dangers. “I think the idea is a very good one, but hopefully I would like to see more informational campaigns — almost infomercial, if you will — articulating the risk of distractive driving,” Bhat said. “However, with cam- paigns, I am not sure that if you tell people don’t do this or don’t do that is go- ing to be too effective. It has to be, I guess, something When students call her “Mrs.,” rather than using a title like doctor or professor, Carol MacKay, an English and women’s and gender studies professor, pulls them aside to correct them. “I especially try to point this out to my female students,” MacKay said. “[The habit sug- gests] that women still aren’t taken as fully professional.” But Mackay, who has worked at UT since 1978, said she can remember a time when gender inequities for faculty were substantially more prevalent. In a University-commis- sioned report written by the Gender Equity Task Force in 2008, more than 14 percent of female faculty members reported they had been sub- jected to sexual harassment. No broad climate survey has been conducted since the re- port, though Janet Ellzey, vice provost for international pro- grams, said another climate survey is being discussed. Gretchen Ritter, vice provost for undergraduate education and faculty gov- ernance and government professor, said conducting another survey would be beneficial to the University. “I think [another climate survey] would be some- thing that would certainly be worth doing again to see what kind of progress, if any, we’ve made on the climate 1Tuesday, April 9, 2013@thedailytexanfacebook.com/dailytexanThe Daily TexanServing the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900dailytexanonline.com Thomas Staley is stepping down as Harry Ransom Center Director.

SEE COMICS PAGE 9UNIVERSITYFreshmen retention rate increasesThis year’s freshman class, the largest in school history, is showing lower failure rates and a higher retention rate compared to previous classes — an im- portant benchmark for the University as it strives to up its four-year graduation rate to 70 percent by 2016. The 2016 graduating class started the fall semester with 8,092 students and only 126 did not return for the spring semester, a retention rate of 98.5 percent. David Laude, enrollment and graduation manage- ment provost, said the high rate is the best in the last five years — in part because of the University’s work to re- structure large introductory level courses which may have caused incoming students to struggle in previous years. Laude references the Course Transformation Program, which began in spring 2010, and added more online ma- terial and digital education tools for students in these large, first-semester courses. Laude also said improv- ing the orientation experi- ence helped students find organizations on campus to get involved with. Last sum- mer, UT restructured its orientation program with four-year graduation rates in mind. Along with additional sessions at orientation, the University also extended a student’s meeting with their college from two-and-a-half hours to four. “We did a much bet- ter job this year of creating community for the students and fewer students left for aca- demic issues or from feeling homesick,” Laude said. About 4.8 percent of the freshmen failed a class during their first semester, which is down from nine percent five years ago.

The event took place Monday evening in the Red McCombs Red Zone at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and featured speakers such as women’s athletic director Chris Plonsky and Gregory J. Vincent, vice president for diversity and commu- nity engagement. The athletic department established the Neighbor- hood Longhorns Program as an educational incentive program providing ser- vices to socioeconomically disadvantaged students in 30 schools. According to Vincent, this is one of the three signature events for the Neighbor- hood Longhorns Program and it raises money to pro- vide academic incentives to students who go to title one schools in the Austin Inde- pendent School District. “Over the years we have served over 80,000 students,” Vincent said. “We have been able to provide tutoring academic incentives, and for many of these Neighborhood Pearce Murphy | Daily Texan Staff(Top) Head football coach Mack Brown welcomes members of the Neighborhood Longhorns Program into Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium on Monday evening.

RunTex Foundation executive direc- tor James Russell said the company and foundation operate separately, and all philanthropic operations of the foundation, such as the ATX 100, will stay intact. Russell said after the city signs over the opera- tions of the Trail of Lights to the RunTex Foundation, the Trail of Lights will be signed into a new, separate Trail of Lights Foundation in order to make the event more sustainable. “We would set out with a goal of establishing a com- pletely separate and inde- pendent foundation for the Trail of Lights to live in,” Russell said. “The RunTex Foundation would do what it does best and start things.” Carrozza said the initial goal of the company when it started 25 years ago was to get people running and in shape, a goal which has not changed. “We hit the market at the right time, with the right energy,” Carrozza said. “We have built hundreds, if not thousands, of events in Austin. There’s this pro- liferation of events that we started engaging the Austin nonprofit commu- nity, building the running community, engaging the corporate community for sponsorships, and it has been really a great thing.

Volume 113, Issue 137News2Tuesday, April 9, 2013associated at a deeper level.” The AT&T poll also re- vealed 98 percent of commut- ers surveyed said they knew the dangers of sending a text or e-mail. Bhat said it is hard to determine why people contin- ue to be distracted at the wheel when they know the risks. “Based on mind behavioral studies and studies that have been done by general psychol- ogists, people feel the need to feel connected at all times, and try to be responsive and time- ly to anything that has hap- pened,” Bhat said. “Today the repose of opportunities goes so fast that if you perhaps do not respond in five minutes, it could be what some people in their careers [consider] a make or break [situation].” In 2009, Austin City Council approved an ordinance that banned tex- ting while driving. Police of- ficers have issued 643 texting while driving citations since February 2010, according to the Austin Police Depart- ment. Randy Pogue, APD Highway Enforcement Com- mand lieutenant, said distrac- tive driving can extend be- yond just texting and driving. “It could be something as normal as talking to pas- sengers,” Pogue said. “Some- times you take your eye off the road and look at your passenger to address them ... Adjusting radios while driv- ing and dealing with people in your car are probably the oldest ones, in my opinion, of distractive driving.” Marketing senior Kimberly Fransham said she developed a rule in which she cannot be on her phone while driving. Despite this, she still some- times becomes distracted at the wheel. “If I have the radio on, you can’t hear road noises as well so that would be one way,” Fran- sham said. “Often times when my friends are in the car, I find it harder to focus on the road because I have to think more about not being distracted.” Current Texas State Law bans the use of hand-held phones and texting in school zones for all drivers and bans texting for bus drivers and nov- ice drivers. A bill in the Texas Legislature proposes banning all cell phone usage while driving unless in or witness- ing an emergency situation. In 2011, Gov. Rick Perry vetoed a similar bill because he viewed it as a “government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults.” With or without a state law banning all drivers from us- ing a mobile device behind the wheel, Bhat said there are creative methods drivers can employ and not be distracted. “Simply looking at the li- cense plate of the vehicle or even the color of it can help,” Bhat said. “It’s always hard to consider taking a different route just for the heck of it so you’re not following the same old, same old [route]. It makes sure that you are keeping track of where you are and because you are consciously trying to have pay attention to say a different route. It takes away being distracted.” Charlie Pearce | Daily Texan StaffA woman’s hair blows in the wind as she walks across the pedestrian bridge in the engineering area of campus on Monday evening. FRAMES | FEAtuREd photo NEWS BRIEFLYBoard of Regents call special meetingThe UT System Board of Regents will hold a special meeting Thursday to discuss several ongo- ing issues highlighting differences and grow- ing divisions among the board itself. The board’s agenda in- cludes discussion about releasing information requested by members of the Texas Legisla- ture and a recent vote to continue an external investigation of the rela- tionship between the UT School of Law and the Law School Foundation. It will also address the constitutional and legal rights and responsibili- ties of the regents. The meeting was re- quested by four regents — Steven Hicks, Robert Still- well, James Dannenbaum and Printice Gary — after it was discovered Friday that board Chairman Gene Powell asked the Texas At- torney General’s office for permission to withhold documents requested by legislators. Generally, meet- ings can be requested by the board chairman or by three of the other regents. System spokeswoman Jenny LaCoste-Caputo said the Board’s three vice chairmen — Re- gents Paul Foster, Hicks and Dannenbaum — were informed in ad- vance of Powell’s de- cision to write to the attorney general. Powell’s request to withhold information prompted sharp criti- cism from lawmakers. In a three-page statement, state Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, said she heard Powell’s behavior com- pared to the behavior of former President Richard Nixon during the Water- gate scandal and called the chairman’s request an “outrageous” delay tactic. On his twitter account, state Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, said “Declining to provide vital informa- tion to [the Legislature] only deepens Higher Education suspicions.” The agenda for the meet- ing can be found online. —Jordan RudnerLonghorns, the opportunity to visit the 40 Acres for the first time. Through commu- nity support, we make this campus real to them.” The event included ap- pearances by Bevo, the Longhorn Band, Texas Cheer and Pom and four Neighborhood Longhorns kids themselves. The pro- gram auctioned off a chance to spend a day under the football instruction of Colt McCoy and his friends or a plane ride with stunt pilot David Martin. Government junior Chase Jubinsky said he worked for the admissions office of the program and helped with one of their events this spring. “We helped coordinate bringing an admissions speaker to their event and we gave some tours to some middle school kids who were visiting campus,” Jubi- nsky said. “It’s great to see all of the coaches in one gi- ant community today.” Vincent said the coaches attended the event to work with the supporters of the program and to match their interests. He said it is a great opportunity for some of these guests and sup- porters to connect with the coaches. Plonksy said the Neigh- borhood Longhorn Pro- gram focuses on allow- ing UT’s young people to serve as role models for future students. “This program was really structured within the heart of our student athletes, many of whom their first chance to go to college was because someone gave them a chance or was their men- tor or inspiration,” Plonsky said. “Mack [Brown] has this great phrase: ‘We want to win as many games as we can, all of them if pos- sible, with respectful re- sponsible young people who graduate.’” Plonsky said the work of the program sends a message throughout the nation about the mission of the University. “[We support the pro- gram] because that’s what we hope we’re sending in terms of the signal about what we’re accomplishing at the University of Texas,” Plonsky said. front,” Ritter said. But even without quantifi- able data, several professors say they believe progress is being made. MacKay said the way women in her department are perceived has changed significantly, especially com- pared to the environment when she was hired. “There are still members of an early generation of male and female professors who are really just not as accus- tomed to having women be full partners, and so for them I think there is still some re- sidual reluctance to recog- nize our full participation,” MacKay said. “But I would say this has changed consid- erably — and I find it espe- cially gratifying that there are many ‘male feminists’ among the newer faculty.” MacKay said she was one of six or seven women in a de- partment of roughly 70 when she was first hired. She said there are still lingering ele- ments of inequity she has en- countered while teaching, but these occur on a smaller scale. “I think [lingering inequi- ties] are working their way out, and I do think it’s getting very close to being equita- ble,” Mackay said. “We’re just not entirely there yet.” Hillary Hart, a civil, archi- tectural and environmental en- gineering lecturer who served on the task force that produced the 2008 report, said that fac- ulty members are increas- ingly comfortable with taking advantage of policies enacted for their benefit, though this has not always been the case. She cited the “extension of tenure track probationary pe- riod” program, where faculty members can pause the tenure clock for a year to have a child, as an example. Hart said that small changes in policy, combined with an increased number of female faculty members, are what ultimately affect the cli- mate on campus. “In engineering and in other male-dominated dis- ciplines, we’re finally getting a critical mass of women fac- ulty, which makes it easier to join as a group and say, ‘This is what we need,’” Hart said. “These small things matter a lot. They show the upper ad- ministration gets it. They are the climate.” numbers are encouraging. “We’ll continue to track their success rate from each step on their journey to the next,” Powers said. “By being strategic and diligent in our work, I’m confident we’ll reach our graduation-rate goal.” Laude said the retention rate is a positive sign toward reaching the University’s goal of improving four- year graduation rates to 70 percent by 2016. Four-year graduation rates are cur- rently about 52 percent.

Chizik, who served as the Longhorns’ defensive coor- dinator when they won their last national championship in 2005, oversaw an Auburn foot- ball program that reportedly bribed players to keep them from declaring for the NFL Draft and changed players’ grades to ensure their eligibility. Muschamp, a defensive coordinator at Auburn and Texas before taking over as Florida’s head coach two years ago, denied a report by former Sports Illustrated and New York Times reporter Selena Roberts that he was one of many to provide pay- ments to Auburn players. This latest wake of scandal comes 27 years after the NCAA handed SMU the death penalty for paying players, the begin- ning of a series of sanctions handed down on programs that offered impermissible ben- efits a generation ago. When former Longhorns of- fensive lineman and 1989 team MVP Ed Cunningham was a sophomore in high school, a school sent him a pair of custom cowboy boots. He sent them back and eventually signed with the Longhorns. “Texas has always been su- per clean. A lot of it is because they don’t have to do it,” Cun- ningham said. “SMU couldn’t compete. They had to pay play- ers. Eric Dickerson got caught in the paying process between A&M and SMU and ended up driving to SMU in A&M’s car.” Seven of the nine teams in the Southwestern Conference were disciplined by the NCAA in the late 1980s, including Tex- as, which was placed on proba- tion in 1987 for providing ben- efits to current and prospective football players. Only Rice and Arkansas scraped by cleanly. TCU, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Houston and Baylor, along with SMU, were all sanctioned by the NCAA. “There was an O-lineman that played at a school in the conference. He had been a Longhorns fan his whole life and wanted to come to Texas,” Cunningham said. “But when he went on his recruiting trip to Texas and Texas didn’t of- fer him anything, he assumed Texas didn’t want him be- cause every other school had offered him something.” Paying recruits and of- fering them impermissible benefits became the norm in college football, particularly in the SWC. Cunningham remembers another player in the confer- ence who said he took a pay cut when he entered the NFL. “He had cash, a new car every year in college,” Cun- ningham said. “Then he got to the NFL and he had a car pay- ment and had to pay taxes.” Only recently has the prolif- eration of cheating in college athletics rivaled the amount of wrongdoing that took place in the 1980s. Heisman Trophy- winning running back Reg- gie Bush at USC, head coach Butch Davis at North Carolina and booster Nevin Shapiro at Miami have headlined promi- nent college football scandals in the last few years. “I know in the 80s there were universities that had organized pay schemes. At UT, honestly, it just didn’t happen,” Cunning- ham said. “Texas is pretty strict. [Men’s athletics director] De- Loss Dodds isn’t going to risk his job on organized payments. Texas isn’t motivated to cheat.” The Longhorns may not be, but the fervor at other schools to cheat seems to be rivaled only by that of the fervor schools had to break the rules in the 1980s. The images of the Univer- sity’s longhorn and tower, as well as its burnt orange color swatch, are stolen on occas- sion, but its trademark office works to take them back. Jered Matthysse, senior as- sociate for Pirkey Barber PLLC, a law firm contracted by the University to enforce its trade- marks, said trademark viola- tions happen more often in the marketplace than on campus, by companies purposefully or accidentally associating them- selves with the University. “They’re using the Uni- versity’s trademarks to trade off the University’s goodwill,” Matthysse said. “The most important aspect is to protect the value of the trademark, considering UT-Austin makes the most royalties from its li- censing program than any school in the country.” Craig Westemeier, UT’s trademark and licensing asso- ciate director, said legal action is rarely taken against student organizations that mistakenly use a University trademark. Such organizations can only use UT trademarks if the group is sponsored by the University. “Sometimes it’s just pure en- thusiasm and passion for the University, and people think they can use it and we explain why we have to protect the mark,” Westemeier said. “With registered organizations, usu- ally they will submit a design and we will work to direct them to make changes to their image or graphic so they are within the rules and policies.” Westemeier said issues involving student organiza- tion merchandise or logos are usually found when or- ganizations submit ideas for approval by the Dean of Stu- dents Office and the Office of Trademark Licensing. “There is a lot of turnover in student organizations, so there is not institutional knowledge of what the rules are about what they can put on T-shirts or use in a logo,” Westemeier said. Matthysse said not all instances of trademark violations are about merchan- dise. In May 2012, a federal court ruled in favor of the Uni- versity in a suit against Tower Car Wash, a Cedar Park busi- ness with a replica of the cam- pus tower at its locations. Student Government vice president Ugeo Williams said SG will work with Westemeier to make information of the Uni- versity’s trademarks accessible to students. Williams said he would like for more students to have access to the trademarks. “A lot of students just want to express that they are a part of the University, and not all orga- nizations can,” Williams said. “We want to help make things more clear when students are registering their organizations for the next year, what they should and shouldn’t do.” Westemeier said the trademark office is currently creating a website to make information more clear to ex- plain the rules and help prevent potential infringements. W&N 3Trey Scott, Page Editortuesday’s topic3Tuesday, April 9, 2013CHEATING THE SYSTEMUniversity fights to prevent manipulation, improper use of likenessInfidelity a central theme in musicADHD students disapprove of ‘study drugs’From 1980s to present, football stage to scandalBy Christine AyalaBy Christian CoronaCarrie Underwood’s 2005 country anthem “Before He Cheats” not only brought new life to karaoke bars nationwide, but also gave female victims of cheating justification for taking a baseball bat to their former partners’ vehicles. Female country artists have been singing about cheating since Patsy Cline redid the Hank Williams ballad “Your Cheatin’ Heart” in the early 1960s. Taylor Swift has essentially made millions by signing about her relationship woes. Either the women of country have a strange ten- dency to attract wandering men, or they are among the only females with enough chutzpah to wail about it into a microphone. Cheating, however, is not limited to the world of steel guitars and southern twang. The Billboard Top 100 Songs for 2012 featured 11 songs about cheating, but none of the year’s cheating tracks came from empow- ered female country artists. Taylor Swift capitalized on “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” but 2012 left most of the songs about cheating to the realm of rap. The Daily Texan limited our research on cheating in music to the top 100 singles of 2012. All statistical find- ings are based on that data. Of the 16 rap songs that fall among the top 100, eight of them are about cheating. Those songs are all sung from the male perspective. The men of 2012 rap music were big proponents of cheating. As 2 Chainz so eloquently states in his Top 100 song “No Lie,” the “Thug life” involves having “one wife, a mistress and a girlfriend.” Drake, the pretty boy of the rap industry, showed off a more sensitive side in his song “Take Care.” The song was a collaboration with Ri- hanna and charted at No. 23, but was also the only cheat- ing-oriented rap song where the man was the victim. The other seven cheating- themed rap songs are all fo- cused on the apparent glam- our of cheating, as if it is a status symbol or a badge of honor that all of the boys of rap long to pin on their flat- billed baseball caps. Even outside of rap, the females of the music indus- try stayed relatively silent about their relationship ex- ploits and experiences. When women do channel their cheating struggles into songs, they typically sing about being the victim of re- lationship dishonesty. None of the cheating-re- lated songs released in 2012 were sung by females, so our research was focused on the country music genre. Underwood sings about teaching her ex-partner a lesson and getting retribu- tion by vandalizing his car. Taylor Swift releases the heartache she experienced with one of her celebrity boyfriends who strayed in her song “Should’ve Said No.” Shania Twain ques- tions her wandering part- ner in the song “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under.” All of these cheated la- dies come from the genre of country, which is a genre that typically harbors em- powered female singers. The lifestyle of a stereotypi- cal country star is starkly different from the lifestyle of the stereotypical rapper, which could also be a fac- tor in the different approach to dishonesty. Aside from the few female rappers such as Nicki Minaj and Ciara, rap is usually a male-dominated genre. This, combined with the infamous rapper lifestyle, makes it unlikely to find a rap song where the man is portrayed as the victim. Instead, the top-charting rap songs allude to a life- style of “thirsty women” and “stealing bitches.” They can be heard blaring through club speakers and providing a sound track to high school proms nationwide. Meanwhile, there is a woman in a nameless, dim- ly lit bar drunkenly sing- ing “Before He Cheats” for karaoke night. —Additional reporting by Kelsey McKinneyBy Hannah SmothersWhether using Adderall as a study aid should be con- sidered cheating is a ques- tion many students have trouble answering, but those with a prescription can feel like they are the ones being cheated. Plan II freshman Mi- chael Patison has trouble with day-to-day life if he doesn’t take his daily dosage of prescribed Adderall. The drug, which aids concentra- tion in those with ADHD and ADD, is also used as a “study drug” because it en- hances concentration for those without a diagnosis as well. Patison said that using the drug for study purposes takes away from those who actually need it. “I’m just caught up in taking my own, if you will,” Patison said. “I really have trouble functioning when I don’t take it. When other people that don’t really need it take it, it’s not something I really like — it sort of de- feats the purpose of the whole thing.” While he’s never been ap- proached by someone to buy the drug, Patison said this is likely because he makes a point to make it clear from the beginning that his pre- scription is not for sale. “Anyone who knows that I do take it, they pretty much know [I won’t sell it],” Patison said. “I make it very clear from the beginning.” Using Adderall without a prescription is treated the same way as using any other illegal substance, said Mar- cia Gibbs, spokeswoman for the Dean of Students. According to University Health Services’ website, side effects of using Adderall include irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, diarrhea or constipation, impotence or changes in sex drive, among others. The drug can be ex- tremely harmful if taken incorrectly, said a female law student who wished to remain anonymous and is prescribed Adderall. The student said people have approached her to purchase a prescription in the past. “It doesn’t actually help them process the informa- tion at all,” she said. “It just speeds up reading and helps with focus, and I think in the end anyone who takes it without needing it is actu- ally going to end up doing worse on stuff. I don’t care, I try to avoid the politics of it all.” It should be considered cheating because it cheats those with a prescription, Patison said. “You’re using an outside aid that you haven’t been approved for,” Patison said. “And as a result, you’re putting somebody else at a disadvantage.” By Allie KolechtaCharlie Pearce | Daily Texan StaffTower Car Wash, with its replica of the Tower, is one of several com- panies the University of Texas has accused of a trademark violation. There’s a high to be had in cheating, whether it’s to gain an edge, satisfy a guilty pleasure or test how far laws and boundaries will bend before they break, just for the hell of it. Cheating is a notorious, infamous part of our pasts. There’s a lore to it, something fascinating about risking everything to get what would otherwise be unattainable. In some cases, we mythologize cheaters — John F. Kennedy and his innumerable women or the 1919 White Sox who threw the World Series. Most often, however, to be caught cheating is to have a reputation forever tarnished: Tiger Woods, Barry Bonds, New York Times reporter Jayson Blair. USA Today dubbed 2012 the “Year of the Cheater,” pointing to Lance Armstrong, David Petraeus and the 125 Harvard students who were investigated for cheating on a take-home final exam. Along those lines, here’s this week’s Tuesday Topic, a localized, interdepartmental look at our nation’s favorite pastime. —Trey ScottTOP 100 SONGS OF 2012An investigation of cheating in music11 SONGS ABOUT CHEATING“Payphone” by Maroon 5 feat.

The football program was given a two-year postseason ban in 2010, and former running back Reggie Bush also returned his 2005 Heisman Trophy to the Heisman Trust. Editor’s Note: State Senator Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, who serves as chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee for the 83rd legislative session, talked to The Daily Texan about the ap- parent ongoing dispute between the UT System Board of Re- gents and President William Powers Jr. During the interview, Seliger expressed exasperation about the “loggerheads” situation that has developed and placed blame for the squabbling square- ly on the shoulders of the regents, going so far as to suggest that if open records requests show “something not conducive to good governance,” Board of Regents Chairman Gene Powell should “think about resigning,” and to say that Regent Wallace Hall “has falsified an application to the state of Texas as a regent.” Below, edited for space and clarity, are his responses to our ques- tions. Visit dailytexanonline.com for the full interview. DT: What is it that you think students should know about the current public disagreement among the University’s different governing parties? Seliger: ...I want to make sure people understand that a lot of the drive for efficiencies and economies are good ideas and they are well-placed. I think [Powers] has made no secret that one of his biggest priorities is excellence. In an institution that’s already very large, how does that institution get better? And in that respect, I think he ought to do exactly what he wants to do. What he cannot do is remain at loggerheads with his Board of Regents long term. DT: A couple of weeks ago [during a Senate Higher Educa- tion committee hearing on Wednesday, March 27] you said something about it not being a question of power, but the way people use their power? Seliger: Think about it here, it’s how you use the power of your office. I have a substantial amount of power; I have to be careful how I use it … And so to me it’s very participatory. They [the regents] have lots of power. I said the difference is propriety — it’s when to use it and how to use it. To sit around and use all that power to undermine the president of the University, when they can fire him in a heartbeat, is a useless utilization of power. DT: How, then, should the regents go about considering the very real questions of cost and efficiency and effectiveness? Seliger: I think it’s important for the Legislature not to pre- scribe to them how they ought to do their jobs. They ought to always act in the best interest of the University and the Sys- tem. Some do, some don’t. DT: Can you summarize what it is that the regents want for UT and what it is that the Legislature wants for UT and why it’s different? Seliger: I can’t tell you what the regents want for UT; it’s become very, very personal. It appears some of them simply want Presi- dent Powers gone, and some of them want the University to be as good as it can be. The Legislature wants a university that all Texans can be proud of. What the Legislature does not want to do is get into governing those universities. That’s not our job. DT: Many of the regents are leaders in business and indus- try. How are they supposed to develop leadership skills specific to university governance, what are those skills, and what role does or will ethics training play in the develop- ment of those skills? Seliger: Ethics in a way is a different issue, because it’s more about conflicts of interest and things like that. The Board of Re- gents are almost all of them very successful, very accomplished and very wealthy. Sometimes those skill sets do not translate to enterprises that are very, very open and … answer to other bodies. … Just because someone is a successful businessperson, it does not mean that they’re going to be as exceptional in other endeavors, and I think our current episode goes to show that. DT: So do you believe the regents understand that they’re public figures? Seliger: I do not. Clearly, when they choose to avoid giving information to the Legislature that has to do with things that go on at the UT Board of Regents with the University, clearly they don’t [understand that they’re pulbic figures]. DT: What do you think about Gene Powell’s appeal to the attorney general [to withhold requested documents from legislators]? Seliger: I think it will not be supported by law, and I think it’s going to go farther than that. There’s some information there that Mr. Powell does not want to reveal to the Legislature. And if there is anything there that shows something not conducive to good governance, then I think Mr. Powell’s going to have to think about resigning. DT: Do you think that Wallace Hall [a regent who has come under fire for failing to disclose lawsuits in his application for Senate approval to become a board member] needs to resign? Seliger: Mr. Hall has falsified an application to the state of Texas as a regent. I think it’s serious. DT: Is there any way for regents and President Powers, given all that has transpired, to trust one another? Seliger: I would like to think so. My impression is [Powers] just wants to do his job. At the same time [the regents] signed up, most of them alumni of the University of Texas, to help that institution. And so, can they decide maybe what they’re doing is counterproductive and we need to do it in a different fashion? Sure they can. They’ve encountered problems and challenges in business before, and in some respects this isn’t any different. DT: What is his vision? Seliger: I think it’s excellence and opportunity. The education provided by the university is a wonderful asset. I’m not sure the regents wouldn’t tell you the same thing, but … if their vision diverges from that of the president, I think they ought to clearly state it. What is it that they expect the University to do? My understanding is that there are thoughts there that deans ought to teach more courses and we ought to have a lot more people in engineering and less people in the humanities. I’m not sure that we’ve heard a clear statement of vision in all those areas. DT: It seems in an age when it’s very expensive to run the Uni- versity, the [regents’] competing vision, as we understand it, is the belief that a public university should maximize efficiency, accessibility and student enrollment? Seliger: Every organization ought to maximize its resources, every one. Depends what those resources are and what the specific mission of that institution is. This is a public institu- tion and it has an important role to play. At the same time, it cannot be accessible to every Texan. It can’t meet the needs. Live music defines Austin. In fact, you often hear that Austin has more live music venues per capita than any other city, although this claim is disputed. But despite the hype, Austin is missing something crucial when compared to music meccas like Los Angeles, Nashville or New York: high-end, professional recording studios. Though live mu- sic is everywhere, Austin just isn’t a destination for top recording artists to make big-budget records. That fact, however, could be changing with the reopening of Arlyn Studios, an icon from Austin’s musical past. Arlyn is a top-tier recording studio that has been run- ning commercially since November. It will operate as a ful- ly-functioning recording studio in future months and will compete with anything Los Angeles or Nashville offers. The reopening of Arlyn Studios puts Austin on the map as a recording destination for major-label artists, which will benefit not only Austin’s music culture, but anyone who lives here — UT students included. Despite its rebirth, Arlyn is hardly a newcomer to the Austin music scene. The studio, which first opened in 1984, was the premiere recording spot in town before be- coming an audio engineering school in the early ‘90s. An impressive list of musical legends have recorded there, in- cluding Frank Sinatra, Sublime, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Willie Nelson. But Arlyn hasn’t operated commercially for more than 10 years since becoming a school. However, original owners Freddy and Lisa Fletcher, along with new partners Will Bridges and Thomas Murphey, have decid- ed to reopen the studio commercially. And with all new, world-class equipment, Arlyn is set to put Austin on the map as a destination for top artists to make records. I recently checked out the studios and spoke with Lisa Fletcher, who was very confident about what Arlyn has to offer. She told me that the studio has been upgraded “to a degree that we can absolutely play ball with the New York and Nashville and LA studios.” But, she added, perhaps more importantly, “We can do it for a such a lesser cost.” She explained that recording in Austin is inherently cheaper than making a record in those other cities like LA and New York where the cost of living is higher. Since Arlyn has the equipment, space and amenities to compete with Nashville or New York, she “absolutely” sees Austin becoming a desti- nation for cutting important, big-budget albums. But if the best artists start making records in Austin, the presence of the big business music industry will inevitably follow. Will this enrage members of the Austin old guard who already adorn their bumpers with slogans like, “Austin Sucks, Don’t Move Here,” bemoaning our city’s rapid growth over the last 20 years? The aging hippies will likely lament the arrival of major label artists and record companies who threaten to marginalize local artists who have built Austin’s legendary, accessible and local live music scene. But Fletcher thinks those fears are unfounded. Arlyn “will draw more attention to the fact that Austin really and truly is a music city.” She contends that it “is nothing but good for Austin; it’s the best of both worlds.” Austin can continue to exist with its flourishing local music culture, but big names can “come here and bring [Austin] the cred- ibility that I think it truly deserves.” She also added that the studio will be able to support directly local music by offering recording space to local artists at lower rates. The studio is split up into three different spaces — Studios A, B and C — and while a big name might rent out the whole building to cut an album, a local artist could just as well rent out Studio B for less money. Fletcher was adamant that Arlyn would only benefit the city’s music culture and could do no harm. While Fletcher is clearly supportive of her own venture, the presence of a world-class recording studio is an undeniable boon to Austin’s music scene. Ar- lyn’s arrival may draw outsiders but it will also give a big advantage to local artists who suddenly find themselves among world class recording artists. Many students — myself included — chose to come to school here largely because of Austin’s reputation as a mu- sic lover’s city. If the city gains a reputation as a recording destination, that will only serve to attract more music-lov- ing students like myself.

GALLERYQ-AND-AEric NikolaidesDaily Texan ColumnistVatican city limitsStephanie EisnerDaily Texan ColumnistPope Francis is old news. The former archbishop of Bue- nos Aires and cardinal since 2001 was elected to his posi- tion as head of the Catholic Church on March 13, while most students at UT were en- joying spring break. If you didn’t care then and you don’t care now, you’re not alone. Religious affiliation is declining among younger generations. A 2012 Pew Re- search Center survey found that 32 percent of 18-29-year- olds were religiously unaffili- ated, higher than any other age group studied. If you’re nod- ding your head and about to turn the page, read on. Pope Francis has the power and po- tential to change your life, re- gardless of your religion. According to a 2011 uni- versitywide poll, more UT students reported a spiritual preference of Roman Catholi- cism (18 percent) than any other religious category. In the United States alone, there are 7.8 million Catholics, a num- ber that includes Vice Presi- dent Joe Biden, House Minor- ity Leader Nancy Pelosi and six of our nine Supreme Court justices. The pope realistically could not command the ac- tions of those affiliated with his religion even if he wanted to, but he does have the power to shape the dialogue and en- courage certain ideas in his church, which in turn can af- fect legal policy for all of us. The impact may not seem di- rectly tangible, but it’s real. The Catholic Church is known for liking the status quo. The election of Pope Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, as the first ever Latino pope breaks a strong tradition of sticking to tradition — a centuries-long habit of appointing European clergy to the papacy. Joey Dominguez, a Plan II and bio- chemistry student who identi- fies as a Mexican-American Catholic, believes that the new pope brings to the Vatican the distinct “warmth of Latino culture.” Although he “loves all the popes,” Joey likes that Pope Francis is Latino “because [he himself is] Latino.” UT history and religious studies Professor Virginia Garrard-Burnett reflected in a recent article for The New York Times that in the past 13 years, “The Catholic population of several Latin American coun- tries — including Brazil, the largest Catholic nation in the world — has slipped by more than 20 percent.” She believes that “in Pope Francis … the Catholic Church may rediscov- er its competitive advantage.” Here’s one more thing: The current pope is emerging as a champion for women and the poor. On March 28, Pope Francis controversially washed the feet of women as well as men in the traditional Holy Week ceremony meant to commemorate the humility of Jesus. Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint whose name the pope adopted, was a man who renounced his worldly possessions and dedicated his life to serving and preaching to the lowest in society. The pope interpreted his role in his first homily as being to open his arms and protect “especially the poorest [and] the weakest.” When a pope has an au- dience of at least 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide, small gestures toward equality can have a significant impact. Eisner is a public health sophomore from Houston. Pope Francis has the power and potential to change your life, regardless of your religion.‘‘Lauren Moore | Daily Texan Cartoonist NEWS 5Have you always wanted to take BUSINESS COURSES but thought they were just for students IN the business school?

Charlie Moyer, who spoke at the School of Law on Monday evening, began working for the commission in the early 1970s and was eventually elected to be the first secretary of the In- ter-American Court of Human Rights. Both the commission and the court are subsidiaries of the Organization of Ameri- can States, which works to pro- mote peace and collaboration between 35 states in North and South America. The commission was found- ed in 1959 to promote and pro- tect human rights. Moyer said the commission became more powerful by expanding its role beyond what had been origi- nally intended by its parent or- ganization, the Organization of American States. “That period from the Pi- nochet coup to the end of the ‘70s, the commission, with astuteness, laid a base for the years to come,” Moyer said. The representatives of the commission decided to accept complaints from individuals, not just organizations, which “opened the door for a much more protective system.” The commission also began mak- ing visits to countries with the intent of investigating hu- man rights complaints, rather than only visiting to promote human rights. “When the statute was written, the visits were meant to promote human rights, not investigate,” Moy- er said. “But the commission simply decided to ignore the underlying meaning of the statute and make visits.” The commission also put the “burden of proof” on governments with a policy stating that unless the government responded to inquiries about human rights violations within a certain period of time, the commission would assume the human rights violations were true. But recently, political ma- neuvering and an insufficient budget have decreased the power of the commission. “It is going to have to learn to balance the interests of the victims against the interests of the institutions so their work does not continue to be hindered as it appears is happening now,” Moyer said. Law professor Ariel Dulitzky, who also spoke at the event, said the commission cur- rently has difficulties because all American countries do not share the same definition of a human rights violation. Du- litzky also called for the com- mission to update its methods and the issues upon which it places focus. “The commission is fac- ing a crisis because it has not adapted to the new advances in technology and communi- cation that have happened in the past two decades,” Dulitzky said. “There are new issues re- lated to poverty and inequality in South America, issues of vi- olence committed by primary actors rather than state actors, issues provoked by destructive industries from private com- panies going to Latin America and destroying the environ- ment, displacing people from their traditional lands.” Lalini Pedris, interna- tional relations and global studies senior who attended the event, said although she didn’t have extensive knowl- edge about the topics Moyer and Dublitzky discussed, she thinks there are still more is- sues to be addressed. “I think there’s still a lot of work left to be done,” Pedris said. “But I think the way the human rights discourse has adapted to modernization has made it more beneficial.” By Klarissa FitzpatrickSymposium explores activist storiesHuman rights issues have drawn the attention of activ- ists from all over the world, and a symposium held on Monday by The White Rose Society featured these activ- ists and their stories. The panel featured four panelists who discussed their area of expertise and why they became involved in advocating human rights. According to Tramanh Hoang, president of The White Rose Society, this is the seventh year the group has organized the Human Rights Symposium. The symposium will last through Wednesday of this week and will feature speeches by stu- dents, professors and activ- ists. The symposium is free and open to the public. Panel member Rebecca Lorins, the program director for the Texas After Violence Project, a non-profit group that seeks to record and spread the stories of people who have been affected by capital punishment, said she became involved with human rights after documenting a Sudanese cultural troupe and the social struggles they portrayed. “It’s what gets heard in the global context,” said Lorins, who holds a Ph.D. from UT in comparative literature. “That started me on the path of oral history as a way to el- evate voices that may not be heard in mainstream media.” Middle Eastern stud- ies and liberal arts honors sophomore Tracy Frydberg, who was on the symposium’s panel, said she thought the Jewish community could help those who feel targeted for their ethnicity. “I understood that I had the opportunity to educate my own community, to edu- cate the Jewish community, on what’s happening to other students at UT and to offer the Jewish community’s services to students who were being targeted,” Frydberg said. Frydberg helped found the Latino-Jewish Stu- dent Coalition on campus, which seeks to share the cultures of the two groups and collectively face issues in the community. “It’s about using this edu- cation, using these stories to create positive change,” Frydberg said. Panelist and government and liberal arts honors se- nior Ben Weiss said he be- gan to foster an affinity for learning about political and cultural circumstances in Sub-Saharan Africa while at UT. Weiss said his academic specialty focuses on how Sub-Saharan African coun- tries build infrastructures for HIV/AIDS relief. “I started looking at the intersection of human rights and development narra- tives,” Weiss said. Weiss stressed the impor- tance of education, careful planning and organization during the symposium. “For me, the first step is always education,” Weiss said. “It is not a question of whether to act or not to act, but it is having awareness of your own actions and the im- plications of those actions.” By Mark CarrionMarshall Nolen Daily Texan StaffRebecca Lorins, director of the Texas After Violence Project, spoke about her life experi- ence fighting for human rights with the White Rose Society on Monday.

ATLANTA— Rick Pitino capped the greatest week of his life with the prize he wanted most of all. Luke Hancock produced another huge game off the bench, scoring 22 points, and Pitino became the first coach to win national titles at two schools when relent- less Louisville rallied from another 12-point deficit to beat Michigan 82-76 in the NCAA championship game Monday night. This title came on the same day Pitino was announced as a member of the latest Hall of Fame class, a couple of days after his horse won a big race on the way to the Kentucky Derby, and a few more days after his son got the head coaching job at Minnesota. This was the best feeling of all. The Cardinals (35-5) lived up to their billing as the top overall seed in the tour- nament, though they sure had to work for it. Louisville trailed Wich- ita State by a dozen in the second half of the national semifinals, before rallying for a 72-68 victory. This time, they fell behind by 12 in the first half, though a stunning spurt at the end of the period wiped out the entire deficit. “I had the 13 toughest guys I’ve ever coached,” said Pitino, who plans to follow through on a prom- ise he made to his players if they won the title — by getting a tattoo. No one was tougher than Hancock, named the most outstanding player. He came off the bench to hit four straight 3-pointers after Michigan got a boost from an even more unlikely player. Freshman Spike Albrecht made four straight from be- yond the arc, too, blowing by his career high before the break with 17 points. Coming in, Albrecht was averaging 1.8 points a game and had not scored over seven all season. While Albrecht didn’t do much in the second half, Han- cock finished what he started for Louisville. He buried an- other 3 from the corner with 3:20 remaining to give the Cardinals their biggest lead, 76-66. Michigan wouldn’t go away, but Hancock wrapped it up by mak- ing two free throws with 29 seconds left. Peyton Siva added 18 points for the Cardinals, who closed the season on a 16-game winning streak, and Chane Behanan chipped in with 15 points and 12 re- bounds as Louisville slowly but surely closed out the Wolverines (31-8). He went 1-9 as a start- ing quarterback last year. He completed less than half of his passes against 2A de- fenses as a senior. And he may not even play this year. But Tyrone Swoopes is the future of Texas football. The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder went 2-for-2 with 11 yards while running for 26 yards on four carries in the Long- horns’ Orange-White Scrim- mage two weekends ago. On the surface, those aren’t impressive numbers. But if you saw the way Swoopes dodged multiple defenders on his way to gaining those 26 rushing yards, you’d understand why he’s the front-runner to be Texas’ third- string quarterback this year. “Tyrone is ahead of the other two,” head coach Mack Brown said of Swoopes. “He can run. He’s big. He’s strong. He’s in great shape and he’s throwing the ball well. He just needs to get more reps.” After his junior year at Whitewright, Swoopes was among the hottest names in high school football and rated as a five-star prospect by most recruiting services. But he struggled as a senior and was even reclassified as an “athlete” instead of a quarterback by ESPN. Swoopes graduated from Whitewright a semester early so he could enroll and practice at Texas this spring. Since then, he’s already passed up Connor Brewer and Jalen Overstreet, both of whom redshirted last year, for the third-string quar- terback spot behind David Ash and Case McCoy. “He’s a big guy,” junior defen- sive back Quandre Diggs said. “He’s learning the offense really fast. He makes great plays. And with a guy like that who can scramble and throw the ball, it’s tough to go up against him.” For the first time in his ca- reer, Ash is the clear-cut start- ing quarterback coming out of spring practice. All eyes are on him as everyone wonders whether he can turn that poten- tial into production and, more importantly, wins this season. As athletic and polished as Ash is, however, he isn’t the quarterback on the ros- ter with the most potential. That title goes to Swoopes. McCoy is a senior, and with Ash being a junior, Swoopes could be a three-year starter if he redshirts this upcom- ing season. That’s assuming he stays ahead of Brewer and Overstreet, along with Class of 2014 commit Jerrod Heard. If Swoopes’ performance in this year’s spring game is any indication, he could be the quarterback that leads Texas to its next national title. 6 SPTSChristian Corona, Sports Editor Sports6Tuesday, April 9, 2013SIDELINEHOUSE OF CARDSNCAA TOURNAMENTStrong spring has Swoopes rising the ranksFOOTBALLBASEBALLUT holds advantage at the DischLonghorns in jeopardy of missing postseasonBy Christian CoronaSports EditorTwo days after suffering a disheartening loss to Okla- homa, the Longhorns will look to rebound with a home game against Texas State. Texas dropped Sunday’s series finale after closer Co- rey Knebel blew a one-run lead in the eighth inning and allowed the Sooners to score three runs and clinch the season series for the first time in 14 years. Despite the Longhorns’ 17-13 record, ju- nior right fielder Mark Pay- ton does not believe his team needs to panic. “You can’t think about winning, because if you are trying to win you are put- ting too much pressure on yourself,” Payton said. “We are just trying to go out there trying to win each pitch and hopefully everything else will take care of itself.” By Peter SblendorioFool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. That very well may be the theme of this year’s Texas baseball team, which has struggled mightily with the same issues that plagued the 2012 squad. It comes as no surprise that this team is in serious danger of missing the NCAA tour- nament for the second consecutive year, some- thing that has not hap- pened in 15 years. Make no mistake about it, at 17-13 overall and 3-6 in the Big 12, the Long- horns are not thinking about Omaha and the Col- lege World Series. At this point they are simply hop- ing to get a shot at compet- ing in postseason play. With that in mind, Tex- as is now in the midst of a make-or-break stretch in which it has no mar- gin for error. Of the teams remaining on the Longhorns’ schedule, only Houston is ranked and four have losing re- cords. While that gives them a relatively easy route through the rest of conference play, it also means that any loss could doom their NCAA tournament chances.

Tex- as won its first matchup against the Bobcats this season 5-3 in Austin on March 26. Texas has been the ben- eficiary of strong pitching at home all season long, as the staff is yet to allow more than five runs in a game at UFCU Disch- Falk Field. This held true over the weekend against Oklahoma, as Longhorns starters combined to al- low just two earned runs in 20 innings in the three-game series. Sophomore outfielder Cody Lovejoy presents the biggest threat for the Texas pitchers, as he leads the Bobcats with a .330 batting average. The Longhorns will also have to account for sophomore infielder Garrett Mat- tlage, who leads the team with 11 extra base hits and 21 RBIs. Texas will be eager to improve its offensive pro- duction against the Bob- cats, as it is coming off a series in which it scored just four runs in three games. This came imme- diately after a six-game stretch in which the Long- horns hit .316 as a team and recorded five double- digit hit efforts. The Longhorns could have an opportunity to reverse their hitting woes against a Texas State pitching staff that has recorded a team ERA of 4.69 through 31 games. The Texas lineup had 11 hits in its first matchup against the Bobcats. Tuesday’s game is sched- uled to begin at 6 p.m. at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. return to baseball’s Big Dance, it will need to rally down the stretch and play well in the Big 12 tourna- ment. Here are some figures that will clue you in on where the Longhorn’s tournament hopes currently stand: 915: The number of games, through last year’s season, that Texas baseball teams have played since the 1998 season. That was the last time this pro- gram failed to make the NCAA tournament in consecutive years, a fate the current Longhorns are hoping to avoid. 64: The number of teams that make the NCAA tournament each year, 30 of which auto- matically qualify after winning their conference championships. Consider- ing the Longhorns current- ly rank eighth out of nine teams in the Big 12, it is unlikely they will win their conference and qualify for an automatic tournament bid. As a result, they will probably have to be cho- sen as one of the 34 teams that receive an at-large bid in order to make the tour- nament. Keep in mind that last year’s team, which fin- ished 30-22 and third in the Big 12, did not receive one. 9: The number of road games remaining on Texas’ schedule. The Longhorns play three games this weekend in Lawrence, Kan., against a Jayhawks team fresh off an impressive series in which they beat No. 19 Oklahoma State twice. If Texas wants any chance of making the NCAA tournament, it will have to drastically improve on its cur- rent 3-7 record away from UFCU Disch-Falk Field. .520: The winning percent- age of the Longhorns’ remain- ing opponents. While this mediocre competition should give Texas a chance to bolster its record, beating up on aver- age teams may not be enough to leapfrog the Longhorns into the postseason, especially since their own winning percentage stands at only .560. HOME continues from page 6MEND continues from page 6The pitching is there, but the consistency hasn’t yet shown itself. Texas needed a win as it entered its big series with Big 12 frontrunner Okla- homa. Despite very solid pitching performances from the Longhorns, the Sooners found a way to escape with two razor-thin victories. In Game one, Texas ace Parker French tossed a solid 5 1/3 innings, giving up only two runs, which proved to be the only ones Oklahoma would scratch across home plate. The Texas hitters, however, could only find one run against Jonathan Gray, who struck out eight Long- horns in his 6 2/3 innings of work. It was the same story for the Longhorns, who had eight hits and nine runners left on base. Mark Pay- ton and Alex Silver, who went 0-3 and 1-4 respec- tively in the game, each accounted for two of the 12 strikeouts. Game two was won by the Longhorns because of a stellar day on the mound by Dillon Peters, who threw 7 2/3 innings, only allowing two hits and no runs. Big 12 Stopper of the Year Corey Knebel closed out the game with 2 1/3 in- nings of shutout pitching. The Longhorns only had five hits and one run, but that was enough to secure a win. Heading into Game three, the Longhorns need- ed to score early and prove they could be consistent, and they got that early jump by scoring two runs in the third inning. Texas held a 2-1 lead until the eighth inning when every- thing collapsed, leading to three runs for the Sooners and another loss in the Big 12 for the Longhorns. After seven innings of sol- id work on the mound, the Longhorns gave up another big inning which led to their defeat. At the plate, Texas amassed four hits to eight runners left on base as the three of the team’s leading batters, Payton, Silver and Erich Weiss, went a com- bined 1-10 in the 4-2 loss. Texas now sits at 3-6 in the Big 12 entering Tues- day’s game with Texas State, probably wondering how they are going to make it to the College World Series af- ter missing out last year for the first time since 1998. The Longhorns’ pitch- ing staff has a combined ERA of 2.66, including a 2.51 ERA in Big 12 games. Texas hitters have totaled 251 hits in 30 games, which gives them an average of just over eight per game. With numbers like these, it’s tough to believe they are only 3-6 in the Big 12. The answer for this problem is simple: Texas can’t find consistency at the plate or on the mound. Texas scores the majority of its runs in the first four frames, but its opponents have scored a combined 31 runs in the seventh and eighth innings alone. Texas has all the tools to beat any team, and will likely beat Texas State on Tuesday after earning a 5-3 win over them already this season. But Texas can- not continue to fold in the late innings after building a lead with solid pitching. Texas is currently tied for seventh in the Big 12, and if Weiss, Payton and Silver do not do their part at the plate when the team gets the lead, the Long- horns will be watching the College World Series from the couch again in the dog days of summer. Texas State @ TexasDate: TuesdayTime: 6 p.m. On air: LHNBy Matt WardenDaily Texan ColumnistTexas still in search of consistencyBASEBALL As soon as the ambiguous piano begins the title track, James Blake seduces the lis- tener. The album, almost entirely self-produced, is comprised of Blake’s in- triguing and soulful vocals over minimalist electronic instrumentation, resulting in a neo-singer-songwriter feel. With his second album, the English triple-threat proves his potential in pro- duction, singing and instru- mentation. Now that he has worked with big names like Bon Iver and Feist, the mu- sic industry lies wide open for Blake’s slow version of electronic music. books that I would collect. In some ways, I feel like the act of collecting is really the first act of scholarship and certainly a foun- dation of what the Ransom Cen- ter is engaged in. DT: Do you have a favor- ite author, or an area you’ve studied extensively? Enniss: That’s something like asking someone to pick your favorite child. I presume that [Staley] can say that he prefers “Ulysses” because Joyce is safely dead. But I’m involved in collect- ing so many contemporary and living authors at this point that I wouldn’t want to pick among them. My own research inter- est is focused on contemporary Irish poetry, but my own gradu- ate work was in the American novel. I should be equally at home in developing the col- lections of major novelists and short story writers as well. DT: Looking forward to your time as director of the Ransom Center, do you have any per- sonal goals? Enniss: I think the first task is really to sustain the program of excellence that’s been achieved there and that’s not necessarily a new initiative. In terms of things that might be purely new, I think all of us in the research library community that collect major archives know that the nature of modern archives changed in the mid-1980s. We have to plot a smart path forward for manag- ing and making digital archives available for research. DT: Do you have any cov- eted collections you dream of acquiring? Enniss: The most important acquisition is always the next one. What often focuses one’s attention is the next opportu- nity. I can’t tell you at this point what that will be, but we have to be oriented very much to the future. Certainly, literature is a personal research inter- est and a personal passion of mine, but the Ransom Center collections extend far beyond modern literary figures. Things that have been acquired over the years create a kind of DNA record. When you look at the collection strengths that are there and map that DNA, you find that those strands lead you to other collections that are complemented by the existing holdings. I will very much be using my sense of that genetic map to further the Ransom Center’s collection activities. Traditional country music fans undoubtedly have a bone to pick with Brad Paisley’s pro- gressive lyrics. His 10th album, Wheelhouse, sees the West Vir- ginia singer further distance himself from the Nashville country scene by criticizing the excessively religious in “Those Crazy Christians,” and ac- knowledging the importance of being politically correct in “Ac- cidental Racist (ft. LL Cool J).” The progressive lyrics and pop culture humor make Wheel- house a much more approach- able version of the modern country genre, although Pais- ley’s music and country twang could be alienating to some. “There’s a time and a place to die but this ain’t it,” Para- more vocalist Hayley Wil- liams sings in lead single “Now.” After the band lost founding brothers Josh and Zac Farro, who played guitar and drums, respectively, Par- amore’s artistic abilities were called into question. This self- titled album serves as a stylis- tic reboot for the band, which has shed the majority of its commercially appealing emo and punk influences in favor of a more pop sound. The al- bum’s 14 songs are separated by three lo-fi ukulele inter- ludes to describe the stages of the band’s regrouping. The Farro brothers released a statement about how Para- more ventured too far from its Christian roots, which led to their disbanding. The old Paramore would never be able to produce something like this album. Much of the album’s lyrics are about coming to terms with change and grow- ing up, like “Interlude: Moving On,” where Williams sings, “Let ‘em play their songs/Let ‘em say what’s right and wrong.” In the face of a potential band breakup, Paramore could have easily reverted to the emo genre that they know best. In- stead, in addition to expected punk songs like “Be Alone” and “Anklebiters,” others like “Ain’t It Fun” see the band dab- ble in funk rock, while “Hate To See Your Heart Break” re- verts to “The Only Exception” ballad formula. It is hard to believe this is the band that once produced the shallow girl-against-girl jealou- sy anthem of “Misery Business” from Riot!. Williams, as the only consistent founding mem- ber, displays notably improved vocal abilities, especially on “Proof” and “(One of Those) Crazy Girls,” and an ability to take over the commanding role of the band. Paramore will sat- isfy old fans with flashes of its former style and likely pick up newer, pop-loving fans as well. 8 L&A 25%OFFDry Cleaning$199Plain LaunderedShirtsPlease present coupons with incoming or- ders.

Paramore releases revival albumstakes out what he calls “a peaceful way to live.” “Whenever you’re around him, the energy level goes up,” said Larry Carver, head of the Liberal Arts Honors Program. “He’s been the second reincarnation of Harry Ransom.” A close personal friend and admirer of Staley, Carver argues that the director carried on Ran- som’s legacy of bringing culture and arts to the people of Texas. “More than anything else, what Professor Staley has done is opened the Ransom Center … I re- member when he first came, it was a fortress over there,” Carver said. “People didn’t go in and it was kind of cold and forbidding. [He was] a breath of fresh air.” According to Staley, the magnetic reputation of the Ransom Center of- ten makes acquiring new manuscripts and pieces of art a smooth process. In cases where acquisitions are more difficult, however, Staley resorts to rather un- conventional tactics. In one particular in- stance that occurred a few decades ago, Staley and a few colleagues managed to purchase an archive of Stuart Gilbert’s scholar- ship in France. The small group knew that it would have to get past unfriendly French customs officers. Hiding the manuscripts in a small bread truck on Holy Thursday, Staley’s crew transported the ar- tifacts to a British airport. The Gilbert collection later turned out to contain over 12,000 Swiss Franks and missing excerpts from other works. Stephen Enniss, the new hire poised to take Staley’s position, is familiar with the director’s work and has expressed excitement to carry on Staley’s vision for the Ransom Center. “I would sometimes ar- rive in London and hear that Tom Staley had just been there,” Enniss said. “I wondered if Tom ever ar- rived in Dublin say, or an- other city, and heard that Steve Enniss had just been there. But we were definite- ly doing very similar work and have known each other for years. I’ve always ad- mired the good work that Tom has done.” In the coming years, Staley will retain his posi- tion as a professor of Eng- lish, teaching undergradu- ate honors students and writing his memoir. “We try to make litera- ture live here at UT, and it does. [The documents are] a living embodiment of what we do,” Staley said. “This museum is value add- ed, if you want it.” NEWcontinues from page 10 COMICS 9 WINES · SPIRITS · FINER FOODS(512) 366-8260 · specsonline.comCHEERS TO SAVINGS!® DECISIONS, DECISIONS, Delicious.

While at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington D.C., Enniss was responsible for the world’s largest Shakespeare collection and the largest collection of early English printed books in North America. Enniss worked as curator and director of Emory University’s Manu- script, Archives and Rare Book Library before join- ing the staff at the Folger. Enniss will start at the Ran- som Center on Aug. 1 and assume all responsibilities upon Staley’s retirement Aug. 31. The Daily Texan interviewed Enniss about his expectations and moti- vations for his future tenure at the Ransom Center. The Daily Texan: How do you expect your new job as director of the Ransom Center to differ from your current position? Stephen Enniss: Well, I think that the Folger and my previous experience at Emory University have been perfect preparation for the Ransom Center’s very broad and deep col- lections, spanning from the Renaissance to the most contemporary writers and artists. Really, the past ex- perience I’ve had touches on each period of history that the Ransom Center has documented. Coming to the Folger, I was at Em- ory University for 16 years, and it was while at Emory that I was very active in acquiring major literary archives, which of course is a special strength of the Ransom Center. To elaborate, I was always aware when I was building collections at Emory how I was engaged in an activity that paralleled the works that Tom Staley and the staff at the Ransom Cen- ter were doing. So, in that way, I think the transition should be an easy one. DT: What led you to want to lead these large literary institutions? Enniss: I certainly have been a literary creature from a very young age and a consumer of poems, and novels, and short stories and plays. So that’s pri- mary. But I also respond very much to the artifact, the object itself and what these objects say about the past and what they contain about the past. So working in research libraries that are known from their acquisi- tiveness has been a perfect fit for me. I’ve always had an acquisitive streak myself, whether it was natural his- tory artifacts that I would pick up as a child or later By Kelsey McKinneySince taking up the role of director of the Harry Ran- som Center in 1988, Thomas Staley has personally helped make humanities research a more tangible facet of edu- cation for UT students. The Ransom Center now houses approximately 45 million items in its archives, many of which have been acquired by the director himself. After a 25-year tenure, Staley announced plans on Monday to step down from his position at the center. “I always think that [for the things you love], you have to bring something to the table as well as take from it,” Staley said. “I hated to leave, but it’s time — I want to write again.” Prior to assuming his cur- rent position, Staley worked as chair of modern literature and provost for the Univer- sity of Tulsa. When he visited the University of Texas in 1980, he said he was capti- vated by the “entrepreneur- ial” spirit of Texas and the school’s untapped network of benefactors, scholars and other resources. Staley’s undeniable affinity for collecting was apparent from an early age. Starting a small library in grade school, he charged his friends late fees in order to purchase more books and fuel his fascination with literature. By his sopho- more year in college, the work of James Joyce caught his at- tention and Staley discovered that his plans for law school no longer appealed to him. “I’ve got books everywhere. I keep getting them. I know I shouldn’t, but I do it anyway,” Staley said. “The value of a book and the nature of a book is aesthetic, but also very vis- ceral as well.” To say that Staley enjoys books would be an under- statement. The corner office that he will occupy until Au- gust is itself a small museum.
