When Lt. Gonzalo Gon- zalez of UTPD was first employed by the Univer- sity in 1981, he began as a dishwasher inside the Jester cafeteria. By the time he left the world of student din- ing, Gonzalez was a super- visor. His career as a police officer has played out in a similar manner. Gonzalez, who said his life-long interest in law enforcement began when he was four years old, is approaching his 25th year with UTPD. Gonzalez said he has personal and profes- sional ties to the University and the campus community that have solidified his affin- ity for university policing. “I met my wife here and my oldest daughter graduat- ed here ... I have a great job and I work for a great place,” Gonzalez said. “Some peo- ple want to retire from their jobs as soon as they can, not me. Not me.” Gonzalez began as a guard at UTPD while en- rolled as a student and later dropped out to attend the UT System Police Academy. He later earned a degree in criminal justice from Texas As the approach of fi- nals week has students tak- ing shelter in coffee shops, renovations brewing at Caffe Medici may not be ready un- til mid-May. The cafe’s Guadalupe Street location, which opened on the Drag in 2008, has been closed since March 7 to renovate an issue with the store’s sinking floor structure and make sev- eral cosmetic changes to the location’s interior. Thomas King, general manager for Caffe Medici’s Guadalupe location, said he anticipates the cafe to be re- opened around the second week of May, though the exact date is difficult to anticipate between issues with city per- mits and work being pushed back with the contractor. 1Monday, April 29, 2013@thedailytexanfacebook.com/dailytexanThe Daily TexanServing the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900dailytexanonline.com Texas scores just four runs as Bears sweep UT.

When UT set out to offer students a way into Austin’s in- dependent film scene in 2003, it was easy for administrators to get swept up in Holly- wood ambition. They formed a public-private partnership that resulted in four feature films that flopped financially, but offered students a glimpse into how a traditionally fund- ed project operates. Creating a financial and legal framework to allow pri- vate investment in UT-affili- ated films meant forming the UT Communication Foun- dation, said Jeff Graves, UT associate vice president for legal affairs. Since UT can- not legally own a for-profit company, the foundation was formed and owned nine corporations that produced the movies, Graves said. The parent production corpora- tion was called Burnt Orange Productions, LLC. When it comes to measur- ing the success of the com- pany’s four years of filmmak- ing, opinions vary depending on who is asked and what metric is used. University officials, inves- tors, students and filmmak- ers agree that establishing the foundation to fund feature films — possibly a first by a public university — provided opportunities to work in a professional environment that otherwise would have been inaccessible to students. Hart said it was also a learning experience for the administrators. “It’s like taking a course, you know,” he said. “You got a C on that first exam, but By Megan StricklandCOMM continues on page 5After years of supply- ing college students with concentrated unicorn farts, plastic mustaches and Hello Kitty merchandise, Toy Joy will be moving downtown. On June 1, the store will move from its home on the Drag to Guadalupe and 2nd streets below Violet Crown Cinema. Lizzy Newsome, Toy Joy’s toy curator, said the move is mostly because their lease is up. “What we’re saddest about is losing a building that we can do whatever we want to the outside,” Newsome said. “But there are negatives and positives to having your own building. It’s a lot of work to maintain the outside of the building and so we’ll be able to focus more on the inside of the space and spend all our efforts on the displays and the interior instead of having to split our efforts.” Newsome said they’re working with their new landlords so that the new Austin McKinney | Daily Texan StaffCustomers Adriana Dominguez and Joshua Reeves browse a plethora of tiny trinkets inside Toy Joy on Saturday afternoon.

Caffe Medici to reopen in May after renovationBy Hannah Jane DeCiutiisAmy ZhangDaily Texan StaffLieutenant Gonzalo Gonzalez has been with UTPD for nearly 25 years. Despite retention rates of police officers being historically low, Gonzalez plans on giving his time to the University for as long as he can. UT lieutenant serves selflesslyBy Alberto LongMEDICI continues on page 2UTPD continues on page 2Editor’s Note: This is one story in a series of features on external UT foundations running through Wednesday. Created solely to acquire the $33 million Suida-Man- ning Art Collection for the Blanton Museum of Art in 1998, the UT Fine Arts Foundation is paying off the remaining balance on the collection and is expected to transfer full ownership to the museum by 2016. The UT Fine Arts Founda- tion is one of several nonprof- its that manage gifts to the University. UT President Wil- liam Powers Jr. appointed Uni- versity administrators to lead the UT Fine Arts Foundation, but most external foundations, including the School of Law Foundation, are governed by an independent board. The independent boards often include University em- ployees, but most are not ap- pointed by the University. The University holds the collection through a lease agreement with the founda- tion, and it is housed and displayed at the Blanton Mu- seum. The foundation is still paying off the collection in quarterly payments.

I mean, I first started shopping here because it was so close to UT and that’s how I found it. A lot of peo- ple found our store because of UT. I think that’s what we’ll miss the most: students just sort of wandering in.” Psychology senior Micole Pidgeon visited the store for the first time recently. She walked to the store from her West Campus home. “It’s authentic Austin,” Pidgeon said. “It’s quirky and weird. Everyone talks about it and knows about it and so I realized I had to come see it.” Newsome said a positive result of the move will be re- plenishing items in their stock. “We laid everything out in the new space on our remod- eling plans and it looks like everything is going to stay,” Newsome said. “I mean, the market is definitely going to change, we’re even looking at bringing in some old stuff that we haven’t had in years. We’ve had a lot of fun trying to chase down stuff that we miss. I think everyone is go- ing to be really happy with the stock in the new location.” Matt Puckett, a Toy Joy floor employee, said he’s excited for Toy Joy to start with a blank slate. “Toy Joy has been around for a long time and a lot of people have worked here and it’s been at other locations than this one,” Puckett said. “But I came to this store as a kid and there’s definitely a history here that can’t be replaced.” While the new location will be more difficult for students to reach, Newsome feels confident that Toy Joy will stay relevant. “It’s not going to be a rit- ual anymore, but I think it will still be a place students will visit,” Newsome said. King said customers will mostly be able to notice the refreshed look inside the cafe. “The main thing that’s go- ing to happen that’s going to be different is we’re basi- cally getting a facelift for the whole downstairs,” King said. “I mean it’s really go- ing to look pretty sleek, and we’re still going to have a lot of that natural wood kind of feel that we had before. It’s basically just going to be twice as refined.” As for any additional changes, King said the shop will no longer be making fresh sandwiches, and will instead be serving food from two Austin local businesses: sandwiches from Walton’s Fancy and Staple and break- fast tacos from Fresa’s. “Basically [the floor] was the catalyst for hav- ing to do all this,” King said. “The renovation stuff and the moderniza- tion — all that was kind of like, well, if we’re going to do this, we might as well do it right. We plan on being on Guadalupe for another 10 years at least, so we might as well do a full-on renovation.” King said that although the break from work was initially refreshing, he now is ready to get back to seeing the cafe’s regular customers. “I’ve been doing service industry, coffee shop-type jobs for 10 years and I love it,” King said. “I love waking up early, drinking my coffee before the sun comes up and seeing my customers every morning. You kind of get to know these people and get to know their lives or whatev- er they want to share with you. For me there’s kind of a void now without that daily interaction.” Public relations sopho- more Hugo Rojo said he’s looking forward to seeing the cafe open on the Drag once more. “I’m looking forward to its reopening,” Rojo said. “It was one of the first places I was acquainted with during my first semester of college. The second floor really pro- vided a sanctuary from busy campus life.” State University in San Mar- cos. He said his sense of loy- alty, which he acquired from his father — an educator who taught in the same school district for 30 years — has kept him in the department and helped him climb the de- partment’s ladder. Gonzalez is on his 12th year teaching at the police academy and said it is one of the best parts of his job. “I started at the bottom, and I wanted to move up,” Gonzalez said. “I knew I wanted to make some changes, so I knew I needed to promote. God willing, I’ll promote again.” Retention of police officers has long been an issue within the department. When asked why he has remained with the department for as long as he has, Gonzalez cited UTPD chief of police Robert Dahl- strom’s emphasis on service- oriented professionalism as a motivating force. “That’s what I like about our department — it’s very service-oriented. Chief Dahl- strom is the third chief I’ve worked for, and I’m fixing to go into a new one,” Gon- zalez said. “Of all the chiefs we’ve had, Chief Dahlstrom is the guy who constantly re- minds us of that. We’re here for the students, to be pro- fessional and make connec- tions. I just like going that extra mile.” Dahlstrom said Gon- zalez’s loyalty and com- mitment to the University make him invaluable to the department and his experi- ence is a “tremendous help” in assuring the success of young officers. “[Lt. Gonzalez] is always in a good mood, always do- ing what he can to help oth- ers either on campus or in the department,” Dahlstrom said. “Police work is all about helping people, and Lt. Gon- zalez is all about helping people from his family, to UTPD officers to the campus and beyond.” As Gonzalez approaches retirement, his sense of com- mitment to the University has only intensified. Gonza- lez said he would like to ex- tend his time at the Univer- sity as long as he can. “I can promote one more time, so I don’t plan on retir- ing in three years,” Gonzalez said. “I think I can give more [to the] University. If you fig- ure ‘81 to now, I’m going on my 32nd year of employment with the University. My roots are set here.” Main Telephone: (512) 471-4591Editor: Susannah Jacob(512) 232-2212editor@dailytexanonline.comManaging Editor: Trey Scott(512) 232-2217managingeditor@ dailytexanonline.comNews Office: (512) 232-2207news@dailytexanonline.comMultimedia Office: (512) 471-7835dailytexanmultimedia@ gmail.comSports Office: (512) 232-2210sports@dailytexanonline.comLife & Arts Office: (512) 232-2209dtlifeandarts@gmail.comRetail Advertising: (512) 471-1865joanw@mail.utexas.eduClassified Advertising: (512) 471-5244classifieds@ dailytexanonline.comCONTACT USTOMORROW’S WEATHERHighLow8567Sounds like my dreams.

FRAMES | FEAtuREd photo the foundation every three months for a larger owner- ship of the collection, which the foundation uses toward the acquisition, according to Patricia Ohlendorf, the Uni- versity’s vice president for legal affairs and president of the foundation. “These transactions will be finalized in April 2016, at which time UT will own the full collection and the need for the Foundation will cease,” Ohlendorf said in an email. The entire process re- quired approval by the UT System Board of Regents. Unlike other external foun- dations, the UT Fine Arts Foundation no longer raises funds because it was not set up to continuously fund- raise for the University. As a nonprofit, the foundation could legally accept gifts, though tax documents filed by the foundation show no new contributions in recent years. The Suida-Manning Art Collection is comprised of almost 250 European paint- ings, 400 drawings and 20 sculptures from the 1300s to the 1700s. Wilhelm Suida and his daughter Bertina Manning assembled the col- lection, and Manning’s daughter was essential in the acquisition of the collection for UT. Alessandra Manning Dolnier and her husband do- nated a part of the collection along with $5 million from four anonymous supporters, according to a 1999 Blanton press release. The permanent exhibition displays 50 works of art in the Blanton Museum. “[The collection] is used for teaching, research, dis- play and special program- ming, all within the mis- sion and public purposes of UT and the foundation,” Ohlendorf said. Even though the founda- tion’s mission statement lists the College of Fine Arts as a benefactor, the college does not benefit from the foun- dation, fine arts Dean Doug Dempster said through a spokesperson. Dempster is the foundation’s vice presi- dent and secretary. Blanton Museum spokes- woman Kathleen Stimpert said acquiring the collection was significant for the mu- seum and the University. “It brought to campus one of the nation’s preeminent collections of Renaissance and Baroque art, providing new opportunities for re- search and scholarship, and a chance for UT students, fac- ulty and staff to engage with masterworks not available anywhere else in Austin.” ARTScontinues from page 1UTPDcontinues from page 1MEDICIcontinues from page 1TOYS continues from page 1Texan AdDeadlinesThe Daily Texan Mail Subscription RatesOne Semester (Fall or Spring) $60.00Two Semesters (Fall and Spring) 120.00Summer Session 40.00One Year (Fall, Spring and Summer) 150.00To charge by VISA or MasterCard, call 471-5083.

U.S. officials last week de- clared that the Syrian gov- ernment probably had used chemical weapons twice in March, newly provocative acts in the 2-year civil war that has killed more than 70,000 people and displaced hundreds of thousands more. The U.S. assessment followed similar conclusions from Britain, France, Israel and Qatar — key allies ea- ger for a more aggressive re- sponse to the Syrian conflict. President Barack Obama has said Syria’s likely action — or the transfer of Presi- dent Bashar Assad’s stock- piles to terrorists — would cross a “red line” that would compel the United States to act. Lawmakers sought to re- mind viewers on Sunday news programs of Obama’s declaration while discour- aging a U.S. foothold on the ground there. “The president has laid down the line, and it can’t be a dotted line. It can’t be anything other than a red line,” said House Intelli- gence Committee Chair- man Rep. Mike Rogers, R- Mich. “And more than just Syria, Iran is paying atten- tion to this. North Korea is paying attention to this.” Added Sen. Saxby Cham- bliss, R-Ga.: “For America to sit on the sidelines and do nothing is a huge mistake.” Obama has insisted that any use of chemical weapons would change his thinking about the United States’ role in Syria but said he didn’t have enough information to order aggressive action. PARACHINAR, Paki- stan — Taliban bombs targeting politicians in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday killed 11 people, the latest in a series of attacks meant to disrupt next month’s parliamentary election, police said. The wave of politi- cal violence has killed at least 60 people in recent weeks, and many of the attacks have been di- rected at candidates from secular parties opposed to the Taliban. That has raised concern the vio- lence could benefit hard- line Islamic candidates and others who are more sympathetic to the Tal- iban because they are able to campaign more freely without fear of being of being attacked. Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan claimed respon- sibility for the three at- tacks, plus two others against secular parties in the southern port city of Karachi on Saturday that killed four people and wounded over 40. “We are against all politicians who are go- ing to become part of any secular, democratic government,” Ahsan told The Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location. The first bomb on Sunday ripped through the campaign office of Syed Noor Akbar on the outskirts of Kohat city, kill- ing six people and wound- ing 10, police officer Mujtaba Hussain said. A second bomb tar- geted the office of another candidate, Nasir Khan Afridi, in the suburbs of Peshawar city. That at- tack killed three people and wounded 12, police officer Saifur Rehman said. The politicians were not in their offices at the time of the blasts. They are both running as independent candidates for parliament to represent constituencies in Pakistan’s rugged tribal region along the Afghan border, the main sanctuary for Taliban and al-Qaida militants in the country. Many politicians run- ning in the May 11 elec- tion from the tribal region have their offices located elsewhere and find it hard to campaign in their constituencies because of the danger. The two who were attacked Sunday are considered to hold rela- tively progressive views compared to the deeply conservative Islamic beliefs of many in the tribal region. The third attack oc- curred in the town of Swabi, where a bomb went off during a small rally held by the Awami National Party, which has been repeatedly tar- geted by the Taliban. The blast killed two people and wounded five, said police officer Farooq Khan. The two candidates targeted in the attack, Ameer Rehman and Haji Rehman, were not hurt. ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s Parliament ap- proved an emergency bill Sunday to pave the way for thousands of public sector layoffs and free up 8.8 billion euros ($11.5 billion) in inter- national rescue loans. The bill, which passed in a 168-123 vote, will allow for the first civil service layoffs in more than a century. About 2,000 civil servants will be laid off by the end of May, with another 2,000 following by the end of the year and a further 11,500 by end-2014, for a total of 15,500. The legislation is the latest wave of Greece’s draconian austerity program. It agreed this month with its bailout rescue lenders — the Europe- an Union and International Monetary Fund — to imple- ment the measures as a con- dition to receive new emer- gency loans worth 8.8 billion euros ($11.5 billion). The permanence of civil servant jobs has been en- shrined in all constitutions since 1911, a form of protec- tion from wholesale sack- ing when the government changes hands. To get around the constitu- tional protection, the bill stip- ulates the first layoffs will take place in state agencies that will be disbanded or merged. A provision also aims to bypass, if needed, the notoriously slow and lenient disciplinary coun- cils, which have refused to lay off even people convicted of felonies. More than 2,000 such cases are pending, nearly 600 on appeal. The civil servants’ union, ADEDY, bitterly opposed the bill’s provisions and called for a protest outside Parliament. Authorities took strict security measures, such as barricading a Parliament entrance since Sunday morning and divert- ing traffic and shutting down a subway station two hours before the announced start of the protest. In the end, fewer than 300 people showed up. The bill contained many unrelated provisions, from the payment of back taxes and social security contribu- tions to the end of bakeries’ monopoly in baking bread. To shorten debate and to present the bill as a sort of confidence vote, the govern- ment bundled 110 pages of legislation into a single article. Debate in commit- tee lasted a single day and so did debate in the full Parliament, despite opposi- tion protests and claims of a “parliamentary coup.” W&N 3Austin Community CollegeDaily May 6–May 22austincc.edu/registerPlan your summer classes at ACC.

Gun control legislation to be reintroducedWASHINGTON — One of the architects of failed gun control legislation says he’s bringing it back. Sen. Joe Manchin on Sun- day said he would re-intro- duce a measure that would require criminal and mental health background checks for gun buyers at shows and online. The West Virginia Democrat says that if law- makers read the bill, they will support it. Manchin sponsored a previous version of the measure with Republi- can Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. It failed. N.C. mayor in line for transportation post WASHINGTON — Presi- dent Barack Obama on Mon- day will nominate Charlotte, N.C., Mayor Anthony Foxx as his new transportation secretary, a White House of- ficial said Sunday. If confirmed by the Senate, Foxx would replace outgoing Secretary Ray LaHood. The official noted that Foxx has led efforts to im- prove his city’s transit infra- structure to expand econom- ic opportunity for businesses and workers. During Foxx’s term as mayor, Charlotte has broken ground on several important transportation projects, including the Char- lotte Streetcar Project to bring modern electric tram service to the city as well as a third parallel runway at Charlotte/Douglas Interna- tional Airport. The city has also moved to extend the LYNX light rail system to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the official said. Four church-goers treated after stabbingALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Police say a man stabbed four people at a Catholic church in Albuquerque as a Sunday mass was nearing its end. Police spokesman Robert Gibbs says a man in his 20s jumped over several pews at St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church around noon Sun- day and walked up to the choir area where he began his attack. The injuries to the four church-goers weren’t life- threatening. All four were being treated at hospitals. An off-duty police officer and others at the church sub- dued Capener and held him down until police arrived. Gibbs says the attacker is in custody but that police don’t yet know his identity, the motive for the stabbings, whether he had any ties to the victims or whether he regu- larly attended the church. Cyberattack suspect arrested in SpainMADRID — A Dutch citizen arrested in northeast Spain on suspicion of launch- ing what is described as the biggest cyberattack in Inter- net history operated from a bunker and had a van capable of hacking into networks anywhere in the country, officials said Sunday. The suspect traveled in Spain using his van “as a mobile computing office, equipped with various an- tennas to scan frequen- cies,” an Interior Ministry statement said. He is accused of attacking the Swiss-British anti-spam watchdog group Spamhaus whose main task is to halt ads for counterfeit Viagra and bogus weight-loss pills reaching the world’s inboxes. — Compiled from Associated Press reports 4A OpinionEditor-in-Chief Susannah JacobOpinion4Monday, April 29, 2013Session nearly over, more work to be doneLEGALESE | Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article or cartoonist.

What to Watch April 29-May 3At the beginning of every week, we provide a list of opinion-worthy events to expect during the coming week. VIEWPOINTGALLERYLearn fromLehmbergOn Monday at 12:15 in Sid Richardson Hall room 3.122, the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law presents “The Iraq Legacy: Learning the Right Lessons,” a talk by Yale University Senior Fellow Emma Sky. The talk will enumerate those lessons and emphasize their importance for future foreign policy. On Monday from 3-4:30 p.m., Columbia University professor Hamid Dabashi gives a talk connecting Iran's 2009 “Green Revolution” with the subsequent Arab Spring movements. The talk will be held in the Student Activity Center Auditorium. Also on Monday from 4-6 p.m. in Sid Richardson Hall room 1.313, Ricardo Ainslie, a UT educational psychology professor, gives a talk concerning the lasting implications of the violence in Ciudad Juárez, the epicenter of Mexico's ongoing drug war. It looks like that the main argument against District Attorney Rose- mary Lehmberg’s resignation is that if she resigns, Gov. Rick Perry will get to appoint a conservative Republican to serve for the remainder of her term. Therefore we should ignore the fact that she was driving drunk, lied about it, threatened the officers and asked for special privi- leges by ordering officers arresting her to call the sheriff and the chief of police. But a Perry appointment might actually motivate Democrats in 2016 to go and vote, because elections have consequences. The consequence of all those Democratic establishment endorsements for Lehmberg over a real progressive (hint: Charlie Baird) is that we may end up with a Perry appointee. However, in the long term, it might be good for Austin politics. It’ll motivate Austin residents to get educated on local issues and on the people running for office, and, I hope, go vote. —Hooman HedayatiUT class of ‘09FIRING LINEThe first lawsuits have been filed against West Fertilizer Co.’s parent company Adair Grain, Inc. following the deadly explosion on April 17. The blast killed 15 people, in- jured up to 200 others and left a crater 93 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Those filing suit cite negligence as the tragedy’s cause. Texas lawmakers are also taking action. Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, and Rep. Joe Pickett, D-El Paso, have launched inquiries into the state’s role in oversight of hazard- ous chemicals. Eight agencies have some oversight of the plant and its explosion, and they are expected to testify at the Capitol on Wednesday. The legislative inquiry “isn’t a finger- pointing exercise,” Pickett said, and right- fully so. Hastily assigning blame would risk inaccuracy and undermine the legal process. The victims of the West tragedy deserve justice, which requires a thorough investigation. Certainly, anyone discovered to be responsible for negligence should face significant repercussions, and every effort must be taken to avoid further catastrophes. But the facts must come first. Although the memorial services for the victims took place last week, the mourning process is far from over. The families who have faced considerable hardship follow- ing the explosion deserve compensation for their losses — though, unfortunately, much of it can never be recouped. Justice doesn’t stop there. Texas should never have to suffer another tragedy like the one in West, and lawmakers have a re- sponsibility to act toward that objective. The Legislature adjourns May 27, but we hope its investigation won’t end prema- turely. If more regulation is necessary to keep us safe, then lawmakers must deliver it, no matter how loudly private interests speak out. Once the investigation is com- plete, inaction would be the worst course of action. Texas lawmakers must work to pre- vent similar catastrophes, not just for the safety of all Texans, but out of respect for those who lost their lives tragically and unnecessarily. West victims deserve justice On Friday, April 26, Gov. Rick Perry an- nounced that he was willing to call a special session of the Legislature this summer to get his biggest priorities passed. Those priorities include about $3.7 billion in water and trans- portation investment and $1.6 billion in tax cuts for businesses. We support funding water and transpor- tation, but combining desperately-needed funding with tax cuts like the ones Perry has proposed is counterintuitive and damaging to the state. Funding water management adequately and quickly is imperative. Perry cites busi- ness needs as the main reason to invest in water resource management and transporta- tion. “Whenever we’re recruiting a business seeking to relocate or expand, a chief con- cern of theirs is ensuring there are adequate water, power and transportation systems for their needs,” Perry said in his State of the State Address in January, when he proposed the $3.7 billion investment. Perry has reason to be concerned about drought scaring away business. Dan Har- din, water resource planning director for the TWDB, told The Daily Texan on April 5 that the state economy would lose $12 billion a year if current drought condi- tions continue and meaningful legislation is not passed. Perry’s other stated priority for a spe- cial session, granting a new tax cut to busi- nesses by reducing the state’s franchise tax is, however, cause for concern. The issue of water scarcity is only going to get worse, and future affordability must be taken into ac- count. Even with an $8.8 billion surplus to work with this legislative session, proposals to fund the projects outlined in the TWDB’s 2012 State Water Plan have come right up against the state’s constitutionally-mandated spending cap. The state will need all the revenue it can get in coming years to heed the TWDB’s warnings. That will necessitate sacrifice from both businesses and average citizens. And the economic benefits of tax cuts will be far outweighed by the costs of unsustainable growth and water shortages. Fund water before tax breaksFIRING LINESnoop findshis wayI appreciate the album reviews in The Daily Texan. In fact, I believe that we have the best university paper in the nation (though I have never seen the Harvard version). But I do not appreciate the review article by Shane Miller in the April 23 edition. I did not listen to Snoop Dog, although I might listen to Snoop Lion. Specifically, after citing that he denounced “his former gangster lifestyle,” Shane cynically references “his possible commodification of the Rastafarian religion.” We should be happy that [Snoop] has found his way and not question his reincarnated self, lest we also question our own standing with God/Jah. — J.

We always had hope. Now we weren’t stupid. After a while we said, ‘I’ve had enough. Thank you very much.’ We’re not going to invest any more college money even though it was modest.” The endeavor was a sinkhole for public and private money. The foundation’s com- pany received $3.35 mil- lion from 14 private inves- tors, according to Securities and Exchange Commission documents. The University also contributed money for the company’s buildings and University staff that worked on the projects, said radio- television-film professor Thomas Schatz. The University was unable to provide records of expen- ditures related to Burnt Or- ange Productions although The Daily Texan submitted a public information re- quest for that information in February. Since none of the films turned a profit, the foundation registered a con- sistent negative balance of more than $760,000 on its tax forms since filmmaking ended in 2007. By writing off its losses, the foundation registered a posi- tive balance on its 2012 tax return of $22,000, but how those funds will be spent and whether or not the organiza- tion has any potential as a ve- hicle for funding at the Uni- versity of Texas remains to be seen, Graves said. “The foundation is a non- profit set up to support the University, just as all the other foundations are,” Graves said. “So it could be used for other purposes, al- though I don’t think that was ever contemplated.” While the foundation has been inactive since 2007, College of Communication dean Roderick Hart said he still spends $15,000 each year from his dean’s discretionary fund to cover insurance costs related to the project. “I don’t like paying that, but if there were any lawsuits to come at us, we’d need it,” Hart said. Hart inherited the foundation from his prede- cessor Ellen Wartella in 2004. Wartella said she spent part of her time as dean so- liciting investments for the project and she had hoped it would make enough money to continue production with the college. It may not have taken a blockbuster, but some com- mercial success would have been necessary to keep Burnt Orange Productions going, Hart said. Investor Eddie Safady said he and the others who invest- ed in the project had more philanthropic goals in mind than profits. “It wasn’t a good financial investment because everyone lost money, but most of the investors, including myself, went into it not ever think- ing they were going to make money,” Safady said. “I think it was a great exercise for those who got to participate. We shouldn’t have started without having a lot more money dedicated to the proj- ect up front.” Documents filed with the SEC indicate the or- ganization had an $8 mil- lion fundraising goal, but Hart said raising that much money proved more dif- ficult and time consuming than anticipated. MAKING THE FILMSOnce the company formed, the University hired Carolyn Pfeiffer, an established inde- pendent-film producer, as CEO and rented a warehouse downtown on Fifth Street for the project. Scripts for films that could be made on budgets ranging from $500,000 to more than $2 million poured in, said Gregory Kirr, development director for the movies. Kirr said he cataloged and read between 400 and 500 scripts, chose the best ones and for- warded them to Pfeiffer. UT administrators on the foundation’s board of direc- tors had final approval on content, Hart said. Vice presi- dent for legal affairs Patricia Ohlendorf and vice president and chief financial officer Kevin Hegarty and Hart were on the board of directors. “We would listen to them, and I think if anybody had suggested something crazy, people like Patti and I would listen and step in if we had to,” Hart said. “We wouldn’t have wanted anything that was too risque. We wouldn’t want that associated with the college.” Ultimately, administrators decided to cease production after the films generated little financial or critical success, Hart said. Each film had a crew of students and professionals and more than 200 students, including 2005 radio-tele- vision-film alumnae Kate Ridgway, worked on the films. Ridgway, who has built a career in television and film in Los Angeles, said her ex- perience working for Burnt Orange on the set of “The Quiet” as a post-production assistant jump-started her Hollywood career. “Actually working on a film that wasn’t just a school thing was a really important expe- rience,” Ridgway said. “To be able to cope with some of those real-world issues like data security and to have a budget — I’ve never seen a student system like the one we worked on at Burnt Or- ange. Man, it was crazy.” Librado Lozano, another 2005 alumnus who worked for Burnt Orange, said he still uses some of the work he produced with the com- pany when meeting with potential employers. “The main long-term ben- efit I received was working with high quality material,” Lozano said. “Some of my Burnt Orange stuff is still on my demo that I still use.” Overall, Lozano said his time at Burnt Orange met expectations. “I didn’t go into it thinking I was going to work on a really big blockbuster,” Lozano said. “I did go into it thinking I was going to get hands-on experi- ence in films.” The most financially suc- cessful film the company had any involvement in was not one that students worked on or that was produced by the company. Schatz said the company likely received a “couple thousand dollars” for allowing the crew of the 2006 film “A Mighty Heart” to use its offices for a couple of days to film in Austin. By using Burnt Orange, the film could bypass the process of filing more paperwork to get tax incentives for filming in Austin, Schatz said. The film starred Angelina Jolie and was produced by Brad Pitt. It grossed more than $9 million domestically. UTPD held an open meet- ing with Austin Police De- partment assistant police chief Raul Munguia, the fourth and final candidate for its next Chief of Police this Friday, allowing students, faulty and staff the opportu- nity to ask questions and rate his characteristics. Munguia, who has served as an assistant police chief for the Austin Police Depart- ment for two years, oversaw some patrols and helped plan security for large events. He said he thought one of the most important lessons from his experience with APD that he wanted to apply to UT and its police force was friendly interaction with the community. Munguia explained that in dealing with groups like Occupy Austin, he believed APD had been more effective than other cities’ police de- partments because it set clear rules for the protestors and still allowed them to speak. “We explained what was going to be allowed and what wasn’t and the fact that they’d be able to produce their signs and have their moment and get out their lesson,” Mun- guia said. “They were actual- ly coming to us for ... people who were causing problems and not [with them].” Munguia also said he thought it was going to be im- portant to deal with UTPD’s high attrition rate among younger, lower ranking officers. “Right now the greatest need in the department is the attrition rate,” Munguia said. “[There’s been pay increas- es], but it’s also how do you create a more challenging work environment.” Munguia suggested UTPD officers could respond to alarm calls and other re- quests from APD radio fre- quencies, giving them more opportunity for variety. Student Body Vice Presi- dent Ugeo Williams, who at- tended the meeting, said he liked Munguia’s experience. “I loved the fact that he has children, so he understands the safety part of a college campus,” Williams said. “I like the fact that he’s been in Austin, so he’s already prob- ably dealt with the problems we’ve had in the past.” Williams said he finds it im- portant any UTPD police chief be able to deal with incidents on campus similar to ones that have recently taken place. Associate vice president for campus safety and secu- rity Bob Harkins said with current police chief Robert Dahlstrom’s retirement at the end of this semester, the search committee for po- lice chief, which had four finalists, will be making a recommendation to UT Presi- dent William Powers Jr. shortly. “The atmosphere’s been positive for everybody,” Har- kins said. “I think we brought four good candidates here.” UNIVERSITYUTPD evaluates final candidate for Chief of PoliceBy Miles HutsonJoshua Guerra | Daily Texan StaffRaul Munguia discusses why he is the next deserving candidate as UTPD Police Chief.

Texas was held hitless through three innings and scoreless through five, as Baylor starter Ryan Smith turned in one of his stron- gest outings of the year. Smith allowed just two runs on six hits in 6.2 innings, picking up three strikeouts on the way to his second win of the year. Nathan Thornhill re- corded a strong start for the Longhorns, holding the Bears to three runs in 6 1/3 innings while striking three. The right-hander al- lowed an RBI double to Na- than Orf in the third inning and a two-run single to Cal Towey in the fifth to give the Bears a 3-0 lead through five frames. The Longhorns answered in the sixth inning when Jacob Felts’ single to left field scored Mark Pay- ton, and Texas would add another run in the seventh on an RBI infield single by C.J Hinojosa. The Bears added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth inning behind run-scoring hits by Steve Dalporto and Duncan Wendel while the Baylor bullpen kept Texas off the scoreboard for the final 2 1/3 innings. Cray- ton Bare was dominant in picking up his third save, striking out the side in the One thing that this Texas team has rarely had a prob- lem with this season is of- fensive production. The Longhorns, who recently boosted their conference record to 12- 2, have consistently had no trouble with their bats as they continue to power past opponents. Senior Taylor Hoagland leads her team at the plate with a .443 batting average and an on-base percentage (.639) that is on track to break the single season re- cord for UT and the Big 12. In addition, junior Karina Scott has recently stepped up her offensive production to provide the power Texas needs nearing post-season play. In the month of April, Scott has a batting average of .500, which leads her team, and has tallied two home runs and nine RBIs. “In this game, you need confidence,” Scott said. “Once I put some good at- bats together, I started to get that confidence. I am starting to do what I am capable of and what the team knows I am capable of, and know I just need to keep going.” This strong play is one of the main keys that Tex- as will need in order to complete their goal of a Women’s College World Series appearance. 6 SPTSSPLASH BASH STUDY BREAK 5/7 www.utrecsports.orgRELAXATIONSTARTS HEREChristian Corona, Sports Editor Sports6Monday, April 29, 2013Horns clawed by BearsTEXAS BAYLOR25VS.

Shweta Gulati | Daily Texan Staff Taylor Hoagland is congratulated by head coach Connie Clark during the Longhorns’ win against Houston. Three former Longhorns will boast new jerseys, new teams and new cities af- ter being selected during the 2013 NFL Draft this past week. Safety Kenny Vaccaro was selected in the first round of the draft as the 15th overall pick by the New Orleans Saints. Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin was picked 78th overall by the Buffalo Bills in the third round while defensive end Alex Okafor was chosen as the 103rd overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals. First off the board for the Longhorns was Vac- caro, who had made it his goal to be the first safety chosen. Without waiting too long on Thursday at Radio City Music Hall, his wish was granted. “This is just the begin- ning,” Vaccaro said. “Now I have to keep working hard to get to New Orleans and make an impact.” Vaccaro was a strong prospect heading into the draft after leading the Long- horns in tackles in 2012. “I have been grinding my whole life, literally since I was four years old, for this opportunity,” Vaccaro said. “The Saints were my last visit, and I had a good feel- ing about it.” Goodwin, well aware of the other talented players still up for grabs, didn’t pay much attention to the draft Friday night, during which he got the call from the Buffalo Bills. “I was just sitting out there throwing the foot- ball with my brothers and sitting on the back of the truck talking,” Goodwin said. “I was like, ‘Dude, I don’t even think I’m going to go today. There are still receivers ranked ahead of me on the board.’ I got the call while I was on the back of the truck.” Being chosen as a new member of an NFL team came after a whirlwind eight months for Goodwin, during which he competed at the Olympics in London and finished out his senior year of football, forgoing his last season of track to By Rachel ThompsonDRAFT continues on page 7Texas overwhelms Tech in series routWhen junior catcher Mandy Ogle threw out her tenth base-stealer this season against Oklahoma last weekend, she was on a roll. No. 7 Texas had topped its first No. 1 team since 2006, and as the sev- enth inning came around, it looked to steal the se- ries. Taylor Hoagland and Brejae Washington strike- outs left Texas runs away from the goal. But Ogle wasn’t going to focus on the past. “Losing this hits us all pretty hard,” Ogle said. “But I think it’s going to light a fire underneath us and we’re going to come out next weekend and work hard.” The Longhorns (42- 6, 12-2) did just that in a three-game sweep against Texas Tech (29-24, 3-12) this weekend. Ogle’s fire propelled her to go 4-for-9 with a team-high five RBIs against the Red Raiders. She also caught two more stealing this weekend, to- taling four tags in the last five contests. Taylor Thom and Hoa- gland powered the of- fense Friday, accounting for five runs, five stolen bases and four hits. In the circle, ace pitcher Blaire Luna allowed only one hit in the first five innings. Paired with a four-run fifth inning, Texas led 8-0 when Holly Kern took the mound for Luna. But Kern nearly allowed the Red Raiders to tie the game, allowing six runs on five hits in the bottom of the sixth inning. Luna reentered in the seventh to retire the Red Raiders in order. Saturday went more smoothly, as Kim Bruins allowed just one run off four hits for a complete game.

WHO DAT” Kenny Vaccaro@KennyVaccaro4TOP TWEETSPORTS BRIEFLYMoore signs deal, becomes a ChargerWhile three former Longhorns were drafted in the 2013 NFL Draft this past weekend, former Texas defensive tackle Brandon Moore signed a deal of his own as an un- drafted free agent. Moore, who played only one season at Texas after transfer- ring from East Missis- sippi Junior College, was picked up by the San Di- ego Chargers, the team announced Sunday. The Alabama native surprised many earlier this year when he an- nounced he would enter the NFL Draft and forego his senior season at Texas. Moore started five games during the 2012 season while appearing in 12. He recorded a ca- reer-high five solo tackles while finishing fourth on the team in tackles for loss (eight) and tied for third in QB pressures with six. “Brandon did a great job for us inside,” said Texas head coach Mack Brown. “He is 6-foot-6, 335 pounds. He can move his feet, and he is very physical. He has played in some big ball games. Brandon is a guy that is so hard to find right now. We will really miss him because he is such a big- body type inside.” —Garrett Callahan(2) KNICKS(7) CELTICS (1) HEAT(8) BUCKS (2) SPURS(6) LAKERS ASTROSRED SOX RANGERSTWINS RAYSWHITE SOX prepare for the draft. “[My time at Texas] re- ally taught me patience and how to persevere through thick and thin,” Goodwin said. “I went off the board before guys that had a lot more catches and yards than I did. But I’ve got a wonderful opportu- nity in front of me, and I’m just going to make the most of it.” For Goodwin, Buffalo comes with some famil- iar ties. Former Longhorn and current Buffalo Bills safety Aaron Williams is a close friend while men’s head track coach Bubba Thornton also played as a wide receiver for the Bills. Okafor said he couldn’t stop smiling after the call he received from the Arizona Cardinals. “It’s just a blessing,” Okafor said. “No mat- ter what team you go to, when you get that call on draft day you’re already in love with the team. Really, that is all you can ask for.” Two other former Longhorns, defensive end Sam Acho and center Lyle Sendlein, are already on the Cardinals roster. For Okafor, who many analysts predicted would be chosen in the second round, the phone call that came upon his selection was a welcomed end to the waiting game. “I expected to be called yesterday,” Okafor said on Saturday. “It was a long wait yesterday. But God has a plan for me. Today I couldn’t be any happier.” SPTS/CLASS 7CLASSIFIEDSADVERTISING TERMS There are no refunds or credits.

Texas began the confer- ence tournament on Friday, pummeling Oklahoma State (4-0). The doubles point was not played due to inclement weather, and would not be played unless a 3-3 singles tie was the result. The Long- horns didn’t even let it get close. Nick Naumann, Dan- iel Whitehead, Soren Hess- Olesen and Lloyd Glasspool all got the win in their sin- gles matches, clinching the match for Texas. Texas looked primed to give Oklahoma a tough run in the semifinals after losing to them in regular season conference play (5-2) on April 5. Everything seemed to be going in the Long- horns’ favor when they won the doubles point, a point which Texas has not lost this season in any of its vic- tories. But the Sooners had other plans. Oklahoma took their 1-0 deficit as it tran- sitioned to singles match play and became resilient, clinching the 4-1 victory in the No. 2, 3, 4 and 5 spots. Texas now waits to hear the seedings for the NCAA Championships seeding on Tuesday. Texas powered past host Oklahoma State and narrowly slipped past Texas Tech before claim- ing a second straight conference title. Freshman Lana Groen- vynck provided the biggest spark for the Longhorns in the tournament to keep their title hopes alive. In the semifinals, the Longhorns and Texas Tech were tied at three before Groenvynck went to a third set against Caroline Starck, and led 6-5 with the decid- ing game at deuce. She dou- ble faulted twice on the first two match points. With the advantage for the third time, she faulted her first serve, but delivered an underhand serve on the next that was not returned to win the match, putting the Longhorns in the championship. “That was the best un- derhand serve I think I’ve ever seen,” head coach Patty Fendick-McCain said. “It’s tough as a freshman. Lana began in January and that’s a lot for her to carry on her shoulder.” The Longhorns carried their momentum into the championship match against Oklahoma State, earning the doubles point to go up 1-0. Groenvynck pushed the lead to 2-0 in straight sets over Karyn Guttormsen. Fellow freshman Breaun- na Addison added an- other win to put the Long- horns in position to win the championship. Senior Aeriel Ellis clinched the match at No. 1 singles as the Longhorns de- feated the Cowgirls 4-0. This is the ninth confer- ence title for Longhorns (17-10, 10-2) since 1997. With the crown, the team gained an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship, which begins May 10. Lloyd GlasspoolSophomoreLana GroenvynckFreshmanDRAFT continues from page 6BEARS continues from page 6WCWS continues from page 6TECH continues from page 6keep the Longhorns at bay — most notably Hoagland homers in the first and third innings. En route to a 4-1 victory, Washington scored as well on a two-for- three day to keep the top of the lineup strong. Closing out Sunday, the Longhorns combined their weekend efforts for many repeats. Luna again struck out 10 as the Longhorns capitalized in the fifth for another 4-1 victory. But beyond the numbers, Texas reasserted itself as a Big 12 powerhouse after a tough weekend. Hoagland ex- tended her on-base streak to 56-straight games with a .639 on-base percent- age this season, while Luna joined Cat Osterman as the only Texas pitch- ers to fan 300 a season in three seasons. The team has missed a chance to play in the WCWS each year since 2006 and after being only a game away from that chance last season, moti- vation has set in. The Longhorns have scored 16 runs in the past three games during their most recent sweep of Texas Tech this past weekend. Veteran leadership es- tablished the momentum as two seniors were a main source of the offensive production for the Long- horns. Hoagland grabbed four hits and five runs in the series while senior To- rie Schmidt tallied three hits in her four at bats on Sunday to help grab the final win. “It’s really exciting seeing what this offense can do. It feels like every time the opponent scores, we come back with three more,” Hoagland said. “It’s just re- ally great, and especially for the pitching staff so they know that they have the of- fense backing them up.” The Longhorns only have four more games before they start their journey to the WCWS. These games will help de- termine the momentum that the team will have as it fights to be the best in the nation. This offensive consis- tency, needless to say, is extremely important to the continued suc- cess the team has had. While the pitching staff and defense for the Long- horns has been extremely strong, many games have been decided by just a few runs and this power at the plate will help keep these wins pouring in for the Longhorns. ninth inning while holding the Longhorns hitless. The Longhorns strug- gled to score against the Baylor pitching staff, managing just four runs in the three-game set. The team dropped the series opener, 6-2, behind four errors that led to five un- earned runs on Friday, and were unable to back up a solid start by Dil- lon Peters falling, 1-0, on Saturday. Sunday’s loss marks the first time Texas has been swept by the Bears since 2005. The Longhorns have now been swept twice in 2013, with the other instance coming on the road against Stanford on March 1-3. Texas has now dropped each of its six series against conference op- ponents this season and nine in a row dating back to last season. The Long- horns are currently 5-13 in Big 12 play and sit alone in the basement of the conference standings. The Longhorns will have a chance to end their three-game losing streak on Tuesday night when they host Texas A&M Prairie View. The game is set to begin at 6 p.m. at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. WASHINGTON — Presi- dent Barack Obama joked Saturday that the years are catching up to him and he’s not “the strapping young Muslim socialist” he used to be. Obama poked fun at him- self as well as some of his political adversaries during the annual White House Cor- respondents’ Association din- ner attended by politicians, members of the media and Hollywood celebrities. Entering to the rap track “All I Do Is Win” by DJ Khaled, Obama joked about how re-election would al- low him to unleash a radical agenda. But then he showed a picture of himself golfing on a mock magazine cover of “Senior Leisure.” “I’m not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that I used to be,” the president remarked, and then re- counted his recent 2-for-22 basketball shooting perfor- mance at the White House Easter Egg hunt. But Obama’s most dramat- ic shift for the next four years appeared to be aesthetic. He presented a montage of shots featuring him with bangs similar to those sometimes sported by his wife. “So we borrowed one of Michelle’s tricks,” Obama said. “I thought this looked pretty good, but no bounce.” Obama closed by noting the nation’s recent tragedies in Massachusetts and Texas, praising Americans of all stripes from first responders to local journalists for serving the public good. Saturday night’s banquet not far from the White House attracted the usual assortment of stars from Hollywood and beyond. Actors Kevin Spac- ey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Claire Danes, who play gov- ernment characters on series, were among the attendees, as was Korean entertainer Psy. Several Cabinet members, governors and members of Congress were present. And despite coming at a somber time, nearly two weeks after the deadly Boston Marathon bombing and 10 days after a devastating fertil- izer plant explosion in West, Texas, the president and po- litical allies and rivals alike took the opportunity to enjoy some humor. Late-night talk- show host Conan O’Brien headlined the event. Some of Obama’s jokes came at his Republican ri- vals’ expense. He asked that the GOP’s minority outreach begin with him as a “trial run” and said he’d take his recent charm offensive with Republicans on the road, including events with con- servatives such as Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Michele Bachmann. “In fact, I’m taking my charm offensive on the road -- a Texas barbeque with Ted Cruz, a Kentucky bluegrass concert with Rand Paul, and a book-burning with Michele Bachmann,” Obama joked. And on the 2016 election, the president noted in self- referential irony that poten- tial Republican candidate Sen. Marco Rubio wasn’t qualified because he hasn’t even served a full term in the Senate. Obama served less than four years of his six-year Senate term before he was elected president in 2008. “I mean, the guy has not even finished a single term in the Senate and he thinks he’s ready to be President,” Obama joked. The gala also was an opportunity for six journalists, including Associ- ated Press White House Corre- spondent Julie Pace, to be hon- ored for their coverage of the presidency and national issues. 8 L&ALife & Arts8Monday, April 29, 2013This semester, more than 20 journalism and computer science students entered senior journalism lecturer Robert Quigley’s new Mobile News App De- sign class. All of them will leave the class as devel- opers, with an app either already in the Apple app store or on its way. The class represents an ongoing trend for jour- nalists: the need to be- come a jack of all trades. In the class, computer sci- ence and journalism stu- dents were grouped into five different teams. This wasn’t a class students could just register for — they had to apply to prove both their worth and in- terest. Once accepted into the class, students were paired up and immedi- ately sent to work on their apps. They had to have an app ready to pitch by the second class day, and then they immediately began developing it. “It’s not just coding or journalism,” Quigley said. “It’s also about design, it’s learning how an app works and the optimal ways to get to an end product. There is a lot of little parts to this that they had to learn as they went.” Students with no prior Objective-C coding ex- perience had to learn as they went. Objective-C is a coding language that is used by Apple in their iOS apps. Journalism stu- dents and computer sci- ence students, groups of people with different col- lege experiences, had to mesh together. This past weekend, in the class’s conclusion, the five differ- ent teams presented and pitched their apps to jour- nalists and entrepreneurs at a demo day. Of the five apps, “Glos Guide for Journalists,” an app that gives journalists a quick and easy style guide to use along with tips from journalism professors, was the only one that made it to Apple’s app store in time for the demo day. The app also won “Best Overall App” at the event. “We brainstormed together and we were thinking ‘What do jour- nalists need?’” said Jes- sica Schwartz, multimedia journalism senior and a member of the “Glos” de- velopment team. “If you’re looking on the app store, there isn’t anything that has style and tips.” The group, composed of two journalism students and four computer science students, met an average of four times per week, once in class and three times outside of class. Two other teams have submitted their apps to the store, and the last two teams hope to do so soon. “Pxljam,” a music oriented photo sharing app, and “Nerv,” a location-con- scious news app, both sub- mitted in the week before the demo day. “PicBook,” an iPad scrapbooking app, and “Prix Party,” a For- mula One event app, hope to submit their apps to the store soon. Several students and Quigley himself said a problem the class faced was students entering the class with a lack of cod- ing and Objective-C back- ground. Next semester, the journalism school is offer- ing an introductory mobile programming class. The class won’t be a prereq- uisite for Quigley’s class, but it will provide students who may be interested in the class with some coding foundations. Joshua Mc- Clure, who co-taught the app class this semester, will teach the intro class. McClure said he sees the app building class is becoming more common. “I think the trend is toward the route of hav- ing work-prep classes,” McClure said. “What these kids did was taught themselves. We gave them guidance, but they did it themselves.” As far as the experience of building an app, Quig- ley said he does not think it is necessarily something every journalist needs. But he did say every jour- nalist should have some basic coding knowledge, and knowing how to build an app is certainly some- thing that will help when it comes to job searches. This is one of the reason Scwhartz and her fellow “Glos” team members took the class. “Everything is online, everything is on your phone,” Schwartz said. “To be able to not only write news from your phone, but make an app that [aids] that is really useful ... I don’t want to be a one-trick pony.” MEDIABy Bobby BlanchardPhotos by Andrea Macias-Jimenaz | Daily Texan Staff RTF sophomore Megan Cisneros and theatre and dance junior Kelly Decker are the appointed costume designers for “Sleepless Cities.” For inspiration, the designers opted for an industrial look for The East and a rugged, military look for The West. Decker constructed Imogen’s signature blue cloak, which she wears throughout the film, while Cisneros was in charge of dressing the actors on set and doing their hair and make-up. Production designer Emily Haueisen and Art director Kevin Harger helmed the art department for “Sleepless Cities”. They are in charge of designing the look of the film, which entails, among other things, designing and creating and creating Ulysses’ headquarters, a run-down temple interior designated to be the film’s central set piece. RTF senior Harger is also in charge of weapon design and conceptual art. Since the film tells the story of two cities at war, the production involved intricate fight chore- ography. Renowned local stunt-man Aaron D. Alexander (right) was in charge of design- ing the film’s fight sequences, train- ing the actors and supervising the cho- reography on set. Here, he is photo- graphed with Calvin Bryant, who plays Imogen’s father, at Dane’s Body Shop, where all “Sleepless Cities’” fight rehearsals were held.

FILMcontinues from page 10Obama pokes fun about aging during second presidential termBy Bradley KlapperAssociated PressThough “Sleepless Cities” is bountiful in action sequences, Endres tried to ensure that these were not gratuitous. He described the film as a conver- sation between two adversar- ies that, while sporting a good amount of action, also displays his own tendency toward more cerebral work. “Sleepless Cities” incorpo- rates elements from director Hendrix’s past work. The com- bination of heavy dramatic moments, dark humor and the fantasy/adventure tale complete with fighting and blood are things he’s used to and builds on in his thesis. Thinking of the projects he’s made since starting the RTF program, and even on some of his commercial work, he sees a pattern. “I love creating content and bringing fresh ideas to life,” Hendrix said by email. “Of course, once you start making movies it stays in your blood forever. Now if anybody will ever watch them, that’s a different story.” Here, Hendrix arrives at the point that many RTF students often find themselves fight- ing. In the information age, it is much easier to distribute fresh work to eager eyes. But how to reach the right crowd, the one that will appreciate the film the most, and maybe even the crowd that will help monetize it and future proj- ects, remains a mystery. The sets, the effort, the time; none of it comes cheap. Crowd- sourcing has helped a great amount of filmmakers foot the bill in recent years. “Sleep- less Cities” raised $3,080.00 on Indiegogo. But a clear path toward professional fiction filmmaking remains elusive. This doesn’t faze Hendrix too much, at least for now. “In the end, if I did my job right, you’re thinking a little bit,” Hendrix said. “Questioning what you watched as well.” And in the controlled dark- ness of the set, as the next take unfurled following a cry for action, the film had found its first audience.

The suspect was about six-feet-tall, dressed in a vest and pants. The murder occurred in the midst of 20 or so on-lookers, who saw the murderer fight the victim fiercely before the latter was stabbed in the stomach with the suspect’s sword. The vic- tim fell to his knees with a yell and collapsed, lifeless, on the floor. A few seconds later, a man watching the fight from an HDTV on a table a few feet away yelled a three-lettered word, and the onlookers, who up to this moment had been petrified, burst into move- ment. The victim got up on his feet and conversed with the perpetrator, miming key moments in the fight as the set around them was prepared for another take. The man at the HDTV is Steven Hendrix, fresh-faced, easy-going and sporting a tribal graphic T-shirt, jeans and skater shoes. He speaks to his assistant director quietly about the take, lost in intense reflection over what he just saw on-screen and how it con- nects with the other shots in the film. Once he’s processed the lingering take, he speaks to his actors, makes adjustments, has a word with his director of photography, Ricardo Palo- mares, and orders action. Hendrix is a radio-televi- sion-film senior and native Austinite directing “Sleepless Cities,” a short film written by recent RTF graduate Zach En- dres and produced by fellow senior Irene Georghiades. The film follows Imogen (Rachel Myhill) in her quest to avenge her murdered father from the fierce Ulysses (Aaron Alex- ander), who killed him while taking control of Imogen’s land. As a director, Hendrix oversees the creative vision of the entire project, from pre- production to distribution, all the while guiding the actors to preform their roles in a way that works thorughout the entire film. Beyond that, Hen- drix takes charge of balancing out all of the problems that, and he says this with confident if not slightly reproachful cer- titude, “will occur.” Sleepless Cities is one of 12 undergraduate RTF the- sis films being produced this semester, all of which will be screened on May 11, at 2 p.m. in the CMB’s Studio 6A. The thesis class is only offered once every year, in the Spring, and provides the time and re- sources for student filmmak- ers to amass a film that will hopefully compile and show- case all that they’ve learned in their time at the university. As the crowning project of a student’s university career, the film serves as a sort of bridge between the student and the professional filmmaking worlds. It becomes a sort of calling card, and as any agent or talent scout or famous pro- ducer who may glance upon the film in the festival circuit or elsewhere will tell you, that card better be good. This is not the first time that the Endres-Georghiades- Hendrix trifecta has made a film. They have collaborated before, first in “The Teleported Man,” which won the Esur- ance Audience Award at the 2012 Austin Film Festival, and later in a short called “Rough Waters,” which premiered on The Longhorn Network in March earlier this year. “The crew members were friends I’ve been working with for years,” Georghiades said in an email. “The difference was the scale of production.” Though lots of student short films are produced in the RTF program every year, not very many build and furnish massive sets, have their fight sequences choreo- graphed by professionals, or have their own blood effects crew standing by. “The scope of ‘Sleepless Cities’ was bigger than any- thing I’ve produced to date,” Georghiades said. “The size of the crew, script content and location challenges all contrib- uted to the difficulty of pro- duction, and at the same time the feeling of accomplishment when we wrapped.” The producer wasn’t the only one challenged by “Sleep- less Cities.” Endres, who had a script go through to the second round of the Aus- tin Film Festival Screenplay Competition, a coveted ac- complishment, also treaded new ground in the project. While usually dealing with a character’s internal struggles, and often writing drama and black comedy, Endres found himself shifting gears for this particular screenplay. “This is the first time I’ve had the chance to fully re- alize an alternate reality, a new world,” Endres said in an email. “And this is the first time I’ve written an ‘action’ film. 10 L&AKelsey McKinney, Life & Arts Editor Life & Arts10Monday, April 29, 2013Thesis, in high definitionPhotos by Andrea Macias-Jimenaz | Daily Texan Staff Local actress and former UT theatre and dance student Rachel Myhill stars in the RTF thesis film “Sleepless Cities’”. Rachel plays the leading role of Imogen, who seeks to avenge her father’s death amidst an ongoing war between two bloodthirsty cities: The East and The West. Producer Irene Georghiades, director Steven Hendrix and writer of the thesis film Zach Endres are photographed at I Luv Video on Guadalupe. The group collaborated on this production as part of RTF professor Richard Lewis’s thesis class where students are expected to create a high-quality short film in only one semester. After the film’s completion, the filmmakers plan to sub- mit “Sleepless Cities” to film festivals across the country. Local actor and stunt supervisor Aaron D. Alexander stars as Ulysses, the film’s antagonist. As leader of the West, Ulysses seeks to claim the Eastern territories which has led to the bloody war that the film revolves around. Former RTF student Ricardo Palomares helmed “Sleepless Cities”’ camera department, a far cry from his first forays in photogra- phy as an assistant for his uncle’s wedding photogra- phy business. As director of photography, Palomares is responsible for col- laborating with director Steven Hendrix to envision which camera angles and types of shots would help convey the film’s narrative most effectively. Palomares, also skilled in editing and color correc- tion, played a major role in selecting the film’s colors and overall mood.

Whetten utilized fire extinguishers filled with his signature fake-blood formula to spray the walls during the film’s action sequences. Initially inspired to pursue special effects by the film “Kill Bill”, Whetten is also in charge of creating prosthetics for selected actors as well as col- laborating with the art department to bloody the set’s interiors.
