UT graduate school alumnus Michael Braga, class of 1993, became a re- cipient of journalism’s top honor on April 18, taking home a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting. The winning work exposed an increase in violence across Florida’s mental health system and explored reasons for the increase across a series of five stories. Braga, working for the Sarasota Herald- Tribune, shares the prize with Leonora LaPeter An- ton and Anthony Cormier of the Tampa Bay Times. Braga said the team’s reporting found a spike in violence across Florida’s mental health facilities which arose in correla- tion with extensive budget cuts for the state’s mental health system. “That meant that staff were laid off, and then there’s less supervision of the inmates or pa- tients at these hospitals so they start beating each other and beating up the guards,” Braga said. “Also, there are instances where [patients] get sick and they aren’t treated right, there just isn’t enough money to hire people to take care of them.” After the pieces were published, Florida officials took notice and got mov- ing, Braga said. “Fortunately, the gov- ernment came up with about $16 million dollars after our story,” Braga said. “They fired 500, but they rehired 160. At least we got a little bit better care.” In regards to his work on the story, Braga said his master’s degree in eco- nomics from UT equipped A team from the School of Architecture won a national competition hosted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in April. Team members Sarah Simpson, Megan Recher, Brianna Garner-Frey, Tatum Lau and Brett Clark won the Innovation in Affordable Housing Student Design and Planning Competition, which concluded April 19 in Wash- ington D.C. The competition challenged teams to create an affordable housing plan for a site in Santa Barbara, Califor- nia. The finalists traveled to the site in March, so they could get a better understanding of the location for which they were designing their plans. Brianna Garner-Frey, a graduate student in communi- ty and regional planning, said the competition was not only about architecture, but also about innovating the living ex- perience of affordable housing. “Our team approached the competition through three aspects of innovation,” Garner-Frey said. “One was rethinking the family, second was sustainability and third was education.” Garner-Frey said the make- up of the typical American family has changed from the traditional nuclear family. “There’s been a shift in demographics, where the Journalism and computer science students showcased their mobile news apps that do everything from making it eas- ier to identify LGBTQ-friendly businesses to locating bike racks on campus on Saturday. The event was part of UT’s Mobile News App Design class, in which journalism and computer science students team up to design iPhone apps. Over the semester, teams were asked to develop ideas, pro- gram them into iOS apps and promote their work with social media campaigns. Robert Quigley, the journal- ism lecturer who led the class, said the curriculum helped students from diverse back- grounds learn to collaborate. “This is an important class to have students working to- gether on these cross-func- tional teams and learning to work with each other,” Quigley said. “Journalism and comput- er science students definitely think about things in different ways, and in the real world, you’re going to work with people who aren’t all in the same major.” Local software developer Jeff Linwood, who taught the coding portion of the class, said this year’s apps were a major success. “For the first time, we’ve actually had all our students get their apps into the App Store,” Linwood said. “This is a first for this class and it’s really exciting. So you can just go ahead and download their apps onto your iPhone, your iPad.” Computer science senior Josh Montgomery was part of the team that designed MeFree, an app that aims to make social meet-ups easier. Designing and collaborating on the app was challenging, Montgomery said. “This was our first semester with Swift [coding language for iOS] and while we were learn- ing Swift, we had to figure out how to create a viable app that The University has seen an increase in Title IX reports involving student complaints about sexual violence, accord- ing to the Title IX office. Title IX complaints consist of cases involving sexual as- sault, stalking/harassment, sexual misconduct, relationship violence and other categories. LaToya Hill, UT’s Title IX co- ordinator, said more students are aware of their reporting op- tions on campus when they ex- perience interpersonal violence compared to previous years. “I believe our numbers are increasing because more peo- ple are aware of the process,” Smith said. “While I do believe we underreport, we have higher reporting numbers than other institutions of our size.” As of April 7, Smith said 183 cases have been reported for 2015-2016 so far, compared to 139 cases for 2014-2015 and 100 for 2013-2014. The Uni- versity may see more than 200 cases reported to the Title IX investigation unit by the end of the year, she said. Smith said students may not report interpersonal violence because they fear retaliation, don’t think they will be be- lieved and believe what hap- pened to them is their fault. “There’s several factors that lead to underreporting,” Smith said. “I’m trying to make sure that our processes is not one of those.’ Mia Goldstein, Plan II and radio-television-film senior and member of Voices Against Vio- lence, said more survivors are filing reports because the cam- pus climate around sexual as- sault has changed for the better. “There’s more of a culture of believing survivors,” Goldstein said. “It makes people more willing to come forward.” Smith said she was glad to see more reports come in, but said more work needs to be done to make sure students know where to turn when expe- riencing interpersonal violence. The Title IX office hopes to launch a “more robust” website informing students about their resources and reporting op- tions, she said. “The website will have more information, more handouts, more resources that talk about the general process, resources about how to help a survivor,” Smith said. Some of the Title IX reports involving students come from faculty and staff, who are gen- erally required by UT’s policies Food allergies affect mil- lions of Americans and on a campus with more than 50,000 students, the dining options for those with food allergies were previously limited at UT. Since 2012, the University had a made-to-order food ac- commodation process for stu- dents diagnosed with medical conditions or allergies affect- ing their dietary needs. Now, the University plans to open an allergen-free buffet line in fall 2016 to exclude the top eight foods that cause the most allergic reactions: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shell- fish, soy and wheat. Accord- ing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these foods account for over 90 per- cent of allergic reactions. Lindsay Wilson, registered dietician with the Division of Housing and Food Service, said students who need ac- commodations previously or- dered their meals through an online system. “We have adapted with how we accommodate stu- dents over the past few years,” Wilson said. The special pantry with al- lergy-friendly ingredients and special utensils has already been used at Cypress Bend Cafe. Wilson said DHFS ex- panded made-to-order loca- tions to Littlefield Patio Cafe as well, but was interested in enhancing the dining experi- ence for students. “This station has been on the DHFS radar for several years, because we had been listening to student feedback and we looked into providing 1Monday, May 2, 2016@thedailytexanfacebook.com/dailytexanServing the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900dailytexanonline.com bit.ly/dtvidCOMICS PAGE 7LIFE&ARTS PAGE 8SPORTS PAGE 6Oral history features Jewish culture.

FRAMES featured photo RECYCLE . AFTER READING YOUR COPY another option for students with food allergies or who are looking for a more health-con- scious diet,” Wilson said. The buffet line will be with- in one of the largest dorms on campus at J2, a buffet located above Jester City Limits in Jester Residence Hall. This new line, which will be called the Fresh and Simple Tastes (FAST) line, will be replacing the VIP Line, which offered more upscale meal options. Cailin Rosborough, stu- dent manager on the nutrition team, started working with DHFS in November 2013, when she was a freshman. The communication studies junior has celiac disease and because of her own experience, was interested in providing more meal options for students with restrictive diets. “It was the perfect op- portunity to initiate food programs for students who can dine safely on campus,” Rosborough said. Mechanical engineering freshman Kathrin James said the accommodations DHFs gave her were good, but she felt she missed out on the so- cial aspect of dorm dining. “I definitely missed out on that social aspect of meals,” James said. “It’s easier for me to order my meal, eat it and that’s fine. But I missed out on the sitting in the dining hall experience. Or the spon- taneity of getting food with friends. The allergen friend- ly line will give the dining friendly experience.” James has rheumatoid arthritis and certain foods can give her some mild dis- comfort, but gluten causes her joints to swell. Buffets are areas where she proceeds with caution because of the risk of mislabeled items or food tongs placed in different foods. James said the special- ized line gives her the safety she needs. “I like that it will be incor- porated in the J2 buffet line so you don’t have to make a big deal about your food al- lergies,” James said. “I don’t mind having to explain my- self in the situation but it’s nice that I won’t have to.” ALLERGENcontinues from page 1to report instances of interper- sonal violence when students disclose a sufficient amount of detail to them. Smith said she is exploring more confiden- tial options that don’t require mandatory reports so students feel more comfortable explor- ing the process of reporting to the University. “If a student or an individual is not going into counseling, but just needs to talk to someone about the process — what has to happen — we don’t have that option,” Smith said. “That is a gap at our institution that we need to fill because you have individuals who may not want counseling or need to go to the doctor, but do need to talk about it and figure out what they want to do.” Linda Serna, women’s and gender studies senior and student coordinator at VAV, said VAV is working on establishing a peer advocacy program to inform students about their re- porting options while allowing the survivors to decide whether to report. “Students might not go to their professor because they know they’re mandatory re- porters,” Serna said. “We know a lot of times on campus, the first place [students] go to is their peers.” TITLE IXcontinues from page 1people would want to use,” Montgomery said. “A little of the design was tricky. It started off really simple and we had to work together and collaborate to create some- thing that would appease all of our interests.” Journalism junior Caro- line Murray, an audience member at the event, said the skills demonstrated were very applicable to students’ careers. “[The apps] are incredibly impressive,” Murray said. “I’m in the base journal- ism class, and they say all the time how the journal- ism world is growing more digital every day. Professor Quigley posted an article about how the most sought- after skills are now stuff like coding and social media and everything these teams are doing.” APPScontinues from page 1him with an indispensable understanding of the num- bers behind the story. “I’m a business reporter by trade, so my contribu- tions were my ability to ana- lyze budgets and numbers and finances, and that I got from The University of Tex- as, really,” Braga said. Jason Abrevaya, chair of the economics department, said in an email that the de- partment is very proud of Braga’s Pulitzer Prize, and the abilities he used for the winning story were already at work during his time at UT. “His master’s thesis ex- amined the Cuban sugar economy in the early 20th century, and the investiga- tive historical research and careful analysis of that work have clearly carried over into his career in journalism,” Abrevaya said. Deanna Govea, jour- nalism and Asian studies junior, said seeing Braga’s success is uplifting for jour- nalism majors, regardless of Braga’s field of study. “I think it’s just in general inspiring,” Govea said. “You worry about job security when you’re a journalism student, but to see an alum go that far, it’s encouraging.” PULITZERcontinues from page 1primary form of a family is no longer a dad, a mom and two children,” Garner-Frey said. “We identified that especially in low-income communi- ties, single mothers will rely on each other for assistance, grandparents are living with their children and grandchil- dren now more than ever be- fore, so we took those aspects into account in our project.” Sarah Simpson, an urban design graduate student, said she thinks her team won be- cause of a unique viewpoint and approach. “It seemed that the other teams at the competition fo- cused more on the architectur- al design of the building itself,” Simpson said. “Our team start- ed by looking at regional plans and the surrounding commu- nity and drew from those.” Tatum Lau, a graduate student in urban design and community and regional planning, said she believes housing is a human right and relates to other issues, such as education. “So many of the current issues faced by impoverished communities can’t be [ad- dressed] if you don’t have a basic home to go to,” Lau said. “This competition and other programs that focus on af- fordable housing are exciting opportunities for our society as a whole.” The team’s first place win carries a $20,000 prize for the team members.

Civil engineering senior Vin- cent Geracci and his wife Zoe, an Austin Community College student, only dated in person for two and a half weeks before getting engaged. The couple be- gan seeing each other in May 2015, but their time together was cut short when Vincent took an internship in Dallas, and Zoe decided to work as an au pair in Turkey for the sum- mer. When Zoe returned to the States, Vincent proposed and the pair got married in December 2015. “I fell in love with him over FaceTime because that was all we had,” Zoe said. Unlike most of their peers, Vincent, 22, and Zoe, 19, chose to get married while still in col- lege. For the Geraccis, it works, but getting married in college brings about a new set of chal- lenges for couples on campus. Students who choose to get married at a college age struggle to find proper housing near campus, must transition into a single financial unit and face a slew of stereotypes on a cam- pus where most have yet to tie the knot. Not just “roommates” Most things in the Geraccis’ lives are shared, including rent. But affordable housing suitable for married students is tough to come by around campus. “When your income is one, it’s not like I’m paying $400 and [he’s] paying $400,” Zoe said. “It’s we’re paying $800.” Needing cheap housing op- tions, the Geraccis looked into University Apartments — three apartment complexes located on Lake Austin Boulevard that UT reserves for married stu- dents, families, graduate stu- dents and some undergraduate students. But as of April 1, there were 981 applicants on the waitlist, forcing couples to find housing elsewhere. “I’m really glad that [the University] offers at least one housing place for families and students that are married, but it’s so limited and the waitlist is so long,” said Audrey Brown- ing, a married student and psychology sophomore, who had a similar experience with University Apartments. A financial unionIt’s likely marriage will alter students’ financial aid eligibility, but just how much varies from couple-to-couple. As a married student, Vin- cent is now considered an independent, meaning his parents’ income is no longer taken into account when de- termining eligibility for grants and loans through the Free Ap- plication for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). “Under my mother’s wing, I get no financial aid, but now we’re married, and we have a low income,” Vincent said, not- ing that his aid eligibility will likely increase as a result. Trina Manor, Associate Director of the UT Financial Aid Office, said it’s important for students who are thinking about getting married to under- stand how the marriage will af- fect their financial aid eligibility. “We’ve had situations where [students] were not working, and they were used to get- ting full financial aid,” Manor said. “When they married someone who was working full-time making $70-80 thou- sand a year, they had to report that, and then all of a sudden, their financial aid eligibility had decreased.” Staving off stereotypesBusiness sophomore Rachel Downs and neuroscience ju- nior Jeff Woods got engaged in the summer of 2015, when Downs was 19 and Woods was 20. If the pair goes out in public and people see rings on their fingers, Woods said people of- ten ask if they’re married. The question is almost always fol- lowed by a remark on their age. Although they’ve been a couple for four and a half years, Woods said people commonly assume they’re not ready for marriage because of their young age. “If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have proposed,” Woods said. As a married student, Au- drey sticks out among her UT friends. In every student group she’s joined, she said people act surprised and ask a lot of ques- tions when she mentions she has a husband. Audrey said that since coming to the University, she hasn’t been able to find so- cial groups or support groups geared at married students. “It’s kind of awkward to be a married college student because there just isn’t a space for us,” Audrey said. Although being married in college makes finding proper social settings a challenge, Au- drey, the incoming co-editor of Burnt X, a Texas Student Media entity, said marriage has made the stresses of college easier to manage. At the end of the day, the couples get to come home to each other. Evenings for Au- drey and her husband Chase Browning, a student at Austin Community College, are typi- cally filled with homework or late nights working, but Audrey said they benefit from having each other to lean on. “At the end of midterms, we were both stressed out, and were able to comfort each oth- er,” Audrey said. “We’re both re- ally busy, so it’s not like we get to hang out more than other couples do. It’s just that he’s always there.” Name: Schectman LLP; Width: 29p6; Depth: 10 in; Color: Black, Schectman LLP; Ad Number: - W&N 3STATE OF MAINE DISTRICT COURTFRANKLIN, ss LOCATION OF - FARMINGTON CIVIL ACTION DOCKET NO.: RE-15-29_________________________________________ WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.

Infographic by Iliana Storch | Daily Texan Staff The other day, I sought out a replacement laptop charger at Fry’s. After accomplishing the task at hand, I ate lunch at the restau- rant located in the store. It was a very nostalgic moment for me. As a little kid, my father — a bona fide computer nerd — would take me to electronics stores often, usually to bring in one of his many, ancient computers in for servicing. And, of course, we’d always eat lunch. Something about eating a club sandwich in a Fry’s conjures up memories of childhood. As my time as an undergraduate comes to a close, I do not know what memories will similarly — years down the line — prompt the nostalgia of college. But I am fortunate enough to have a plethora from which to choose. When it comes to The Daily Texan, I know a memory I will always cherish. When I sat on the editorial board about a year ago, we were invited to interview a prominent, new statewide office holder. It was quite exciting. But after this new office holder’s press secretary did some research, she informed us that the office holder would only sit for an interview with someone “other than Noah Horwitz.” My objectivity, needless to say, was called into question. The planned editorial was canned. That doesn’t happen. Not in politics, not in law, not in business and certainly not in the press. But it did, at the Texan. The Texan values loyalty. It values it more than any other entity within the press I have ever seen. In a time when so many negatives things are said about the press, often very justifiably, I have found the Tex- an to be a bright oasis of integrity. And even as my time at the Texan isn’t coming to a close, I would still be remiss if I did not acknowledge and thank the peo- ple who have made my time here so enjoy- able. (As I continue onto law school at this University, I plan on and hopefully will be penning many more columns on a wealth of topics.) Laura Wright, the editor-in-chief when I first transferred to this University, made the mistake of hiring me. Riley Brands, her successor, made the mistake of promot- ing me to the editorial board. And Claire Smith, his successor and the incumbent, made the mistake of retaining me. I appre- ciate and am deeply grateful for their errors in judgment. Most importantly, I am hum- bled and thankful for their loyalty. I have found a variety of ways to spend my time other than the Texan. I wrote. I lobbied. I managed a few political cam- paigns (my record is 1-2, currently a higher winning percentage than the Houston As- tros). It’s been fun and satisfying, challeng- ing and sobering, all at the same time. But the Texan is different, in a quintes- sential way. We look out for one another, just as we look out for every student as a watchdog for student issues and student causes. It’s been an honor to be part of this publication for the past five semesters. I’m looking forward to the next six! Horwitz is a government senior from Houston. At the UT Senate of College Council’s recent Conversation on Campus Safety, a panel discussion on pressing safety con- cerns, I noticed something — most of the questions about safety were asked by or about women, but all the speakers were men. While UT’s police department staff is 16 percent female, slightly higher than the national average of 13 percent, the panel made me wonder, is that enough? Sexual assault investigation needs female officers. Throughout the conversation, UTPD chief David Carter repeatedly called for students to provide information about all crimes and suspicious activity. But if I faced the choice of staying silent or reliving traumatic details, I would feel more com- fortable with a woman. It is not the men’s fault, but women often share common ex- periences that can allow for a deeper level of empathy. As my awareness of friends who have decided not to report sexual assault grows, so does my frustration with the way our system is set up. Women who don’t re- port sexual assault often hold back out of a sense of shame and a need for privacy. If they decide to report, it’s needlessly complicated. The only numbers posted under the criminal investigation unit are for male officers. So women must choose between an overwhelming phone tree or calling 911, which is unintuitive for crimes that happened in the past. I was not able to reach the department for comment on this article. Faye Woodsmall was the first female po- lice officer in Beaumont, Texas. She worked with two other male officers to form one of the first “rape divisions,” what is now known as “sex crimes” unit, in Texas. Woodsmall found that being a woman made a difference when it came to rape in- vestigations. “We found that me being in the sex crimes unit … [for] a lot of the vic- tims, it gave them a sense that they could talk to somebody and tell their story. We had to find out the whole story, it made them feel more comfortable with me taking their statements.” Woodsmall does not blame UTPD for lacking women officers. During her time in the personnel department, she faced appli- cant shortages. “The hiring and the process is extensive … It’s really difficult to get good applicants, those that will stay, because it’s a different kind of job, it’s not easy.” Woodsmall’s grandson, Joseph Trahan, a public relations sophomore, agrees with his grandmother’s assessment, adding that there’s a power dynamic that needs to be addressed. “I believe that it’s important for individuals who are suffering any sort of crisis to be able to be in contact with people that identify within their own gender or community. I think there’s a level of com- fort that exists [and] a sense of empathy or sympathy, because both are the same in many aspects.” Woodsmall’s experiences highlight our campus’ need for access to female offi- cers. One story in particular stood out to Woodsmall: “There was a girl I had known for several years, but hadn’t talked to her for a long, long time. She called the station, and she said it’s private can I talk to you, meet you for lunch? And I knew. I knew she was a victim.” MacLean is an advertising and liberal arts honors freshman. It’s savior season. As classes end and students have several free months, many will choose to go on medical mission trips abroad. While students have the best of in- tentions for these trips, a critical eye is cru- cial to ensuring that students help and em- power, not hurt, a foreign population. “The Western savior idea, the idea that any kind of health care is good healthcare is a false assumption,” humanities senior Christle Nwora said. “We can be damag- ing by putting our views on other people and our social feelings about what health looks like.” Many low-income countries lacking in medical infrastructure allow pre-health professions students access to many pa- tients who are in need. However, when students are allowed to treat patients with- out proper licensing and supervision they endanger patients’ lives, which implies that some patients’ lives are more valuable than others’. “In the US we don’t let our nursing students just go off by themselves, we have someone supervising them,” said Shalonda Horton, as- sistant professor of clinical nursing. However, the environment of medical missions offers much more room for a stu- dent to give medical advice unsupervised. “You don’t want to have misinforma- tion that causes harm once you’ve left that country,” she said. “And then you don’t want that young person thinking ‘I did the right thing.’” A medical mission trip is still a great ex- perience and resume addition — students are still globally engaged. But admissions officers at medical schools know what re- sponsible healthcare looks like, and stu- dent medical missions often don’t fit the bill. Instead, providing certain medical treatments as an unprepared undergradu- ate shows questionable judgment on the part of an applicant and a legal liability risk on the part of the college or study abroad program. The combined result is medical schools denying admission to well-meaning applicants. “No one ever goes with the idea that I’m going to exploit these people to prop my resume for med school or nursing school,” Nwora said. “I just think sometimes we don’t have the processes in place to prevent us from making those ethical missteps.” Embarking on a responsible mission trip requires serious self-reflection and objective analysis of the traveling orga- nization. First and foremost, medical ad- vocacy groups need licensed staffs with physicians or nurses. Second, the program must be sustainable and involve local medi- cal communities — they are the ones who know what their population needs and will continue care once the mission group has left. It also helps if students have a shared cultural background or long-term interest with the region, making communication more efficient. For untrained students, going abroad may not even be the best way to help. In- stead, they may be better placed to con- duct research about a particularly global health issue under a professional or sim- ply donate funds that would be otherwise used to travel to established global health groups like Partners in Health or Doctors Without Borders who work to empower local medical communities. Acting on one’s own limitations is not a comfortable or easy process, but good intentions don’t make up for harmful medical realities.

LIFE&ARTSMonday, May 2, 20165RECYCLEyour copy of“In East Austin, where af- fordability is such an issue, you’re taking one house off the market that could be rent- ed to a homeowner,” Buendía said. “With the short-term rental, these owners can double their profits. So why are they going to rent it out to some long-term resident when they can just start rent- ing it to tourists or whoever?” Defend Our Hoodz is also involved in the ongoing boy- cott of Blue Cat Cafe. The cafe drew the ire of the communi- ty when it signed a lease with F&F Real Estate Ventures, the development firm that de- molished Jumpolin, a Mex- ican-American immigrant family’s local piñata store, with no warning and all of the merchandise still inside. Buendía said this instance was indicative of the power imbalance that permeates the east side. “Racism is the reason East Austin was never invested in when it was just black and brown people,” Buendía said. “That disinvestment meant prices were pushed down, and that created this envi- ronment that could then be easily exploited. At the end of the day, it’s about who has power and who doesn’t. Sys- temically, the power was nev- er in the hands of the people that lived and struggled in these neighborhoods.” Delgado said she will continue to educate the members of her com- munity to fight for their neighborhoods. “I’m just teaching what I’ve learned to others,” Del- gado said. “I’ve been work- ing on this type of stuff for quite some time, and we’ve been hitting hard in the last three years, but it’s still go- ing to be a battle — and this battle’s not going to end.” full of “white music.” While the changes associ- ated with gentrification are often cast in a negative light, he said the revitalization also has its benefits. “There’s so much money in the real estate that a lot of poor people can’t afford to live there anymore,” Corco- ran said. “But the best ex- ample of the neighborhood turning around in a good way is what’s happening at 12th and Chicon … It used to be nothing but drug deal- ers and prostitution. You might say it’s gentrified, but it’s better than it used to be.” Creating his 50-foot-wide mural required Yancey to dig through historical docu- ments and photographs, but he’s been a first-hand witness to the changes that have hap- pened since, which he said make his mural even more relevant today. With such rapid develop- ment, the area’s residents — some of which Yancey said have owned property for generations — are often forced out. Austin’s African- American population, in particular, has decreased to about eight percent, making them the smallest minority group, according to the City of Austin. Yancey said all but one of his original neighbors have moved because of afford- ability issues. His own prop- erty taxes have increased by about 600 percent since he moved in. “Generations upon gen- erations of families lived there,” Yancey said. “[Gen- trification] was such a quick, drastic change of realities, very few families survived.” But Yancey hopes the permanence of his mural, which is cemented into the foundation of the building it decorates, offers a last- ing reminder of the area’s rich history. “The concept of [Rhap- sody], in addition to com- memorating what had happened, was to create a permanent marker in the fear that what was will not be there anymore and the people who were there will not be there anymore as time goes on,” Yancey said. “There’s a symbolic per- manence to the piece that’s even under the surface.” MUSICcontinues from page 8HOODZcontinues from page 8Courtesy of Texas State Historical AssociationOne of 11th Street’s most prominent clubs was Victory Grill, which started after soldiers re- turned home from World War II and went looking for a way to unwind.

The No. 1 Texas men’s golf team left the rest of the field in the dust, cruising to a his- toric 26-shot victory and its fourth-straight Big 12 cham- pionship on Sunday in Trin- ity, Texas. “For us to do this four years in a row is super spe- cial,” head coach John Fields said. “For us, it all adds up to just an honor to say we are Big 12 champions.” The Longhorns broke the Big 12 championship single-round team scoring record on Sunday with a 15-under par onslaught. The 26-shot win is the largest margin of victory in Big 12 conference history. Junior Beau Hossler fired a final round 3-under 69 to finish in a tie for second at 5-under. It’s Hossler’s ninth top-10 of the season. “I’m proud of the guys,” Hossler said. “They’ve worked hard, and I’ve worked hard as well.

Junior Gavin Hall fired a 5-under 67, the low round of the day for the Longhorns, to tie for sixth at 2-under. Ghim and Hall have each finished in the top-10 five times this season.

Our whole goal has been the national cham- pionship at the end of the year so that’s something we’re getting close to.” —John Fields, Men’s golf head coachFor us to do this four years in a row is super special. For us, it all adds up to just an honor to say we are Big 12 champions. The wait spanned more than 41 hours, but Hassan Ridgeway finally heard his name called early Saturday afternoon. “[Waiting] was rough,” Ridgeway said. “I wouldn’t put my worst enemy through that … The team that wanted me the most got me … Obviously that’s the best place you want to go to, an organization that sees you as a good fit for them too.” The Texas defensive tackle was selected by the Indianapo- lis Colts with the 116th pick in the NFL draft. Ridgeway brings his talents to a defensive unit that struggled last season. The Colts ranked seventh worst in the NFL in yards allowed per game and eighth worst in points allowed per game. “This could be a really good pick if [the Colts] can get the most out of Ridgeway,” ESPN analyst Todd McShay said dur- ing the draft broadcast. “They just got a second round talent in the fourth round. They need to develop him and keep him on the straight and narrow.” In his breakout sophomore season at Texas, Ridgeway col- lected six sacks and 11 tackles for a loss, becoming an interior pass rushing threat alongside former Longhorn Malcom Brown. In part due to injury, Ridgeway had a less impres- sive junior campaign, finishing with 3.5 sacks and 6.5 tackles for a loss. The 6-foot-4, 307-pound defensive tackle decided to forgo his senior season at Texas after receiving a second round grade from the NFL’s College Advisory Committee. To the surprise of many though, Ridgeway fell to the fourth round. “As a pass rusher, he’s got to work on his hands,” McShay said. “Got a lot of work to do technically. But he’s got flashes on tape of bull rushing and overwhelming power. There’s concerns about the durability. This past year he had a shoul- der injury, a back injury and an ankle injury. There’s concerns about him taking care of him- self off the field too.” Despite being picked later than expected, Ridgeway said he’s still excited by the oppor- tunity. He said talking with Brown, who was picked in the first round of last year’s draft by the New England Patriots, put things in perspective. “It doesn’t matter where you go,” Ridgeway said regarding what he learned from Brown. “You made it to the NFL, what are you going to do with it now. The motivation was every pick that went in front of me.” Prior to the draft, Texas de- fensive coordinator Vance Bed- ford spoke highly of Ridgeway’s NFL potential. “I think he has the ability to be a special talent,” Bedford said. “He’s gotten better every single week. He is a guy that is growing, developing, he’s learn- ing how to play the football game, and I think his future could be bright.” Ridgeway was the only Longhorn to be selected in the draft, keeping Texas from go- ing without a draft pick for the second time in three years. After the draft, receivers Marcus Johnson and Daje Johnson were signed as un- drafted free agents by the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons, respectively. Defensive end Shiro Davis was signed by the Washing- ton Redskins. Cornerback Duke Thomas signed with the Houston Texans and kicker Nick Rose signed with the Atlanta Falcons. 6 SPTSName: ACC 4556; Width: 29p6; Depth: 5 in; Color: Black, ACC 4556; Ad Number: - 6JACOB MARTELLA, SPORTS EDITOR | @texansportsMonday, May 2, 2016FOOTBALLRidgeway drafted by IndianapolisSIDELINENBAWARRIORS TRAIL BLAZERS Beau Hossler@beauhosslerTOP TWEET“Proud of the guys coming to play today.

Joshua Guerra | Daily Texan StaffSenior center fielder Lindsey Stephens belted her way deeper into the Texas history books with her 40th career homerun — and fifth career grand slam — against Kansas. Texas avoids series sweep with shutoutUnder 24 hours after getting run-ruled at home by the University of Kan- sas, the Longhorns fired back with vengeance, striking for eight hits and six runs to take a 6-0 win over the Jayhawks on Sunday to win the series. The Longhorn offense blew the game open the in the fourth inning. Af- ter Kansas’ pitchers se- nior Monique Wesley and freshman Alexis Reid combined to walk three consecutive batters, Texas loaded the bases in front of a home crowd of nearly one thousand. A batter later, Texas se- nior center fielder Lind- sey Stephens smashed the ball past the right cen- ter field wall at Red and Charline McCombs Field to extend the Longhorns’ lead to 5-0. Stephens re- corded her 40th career home run — the second- most in Texas history — and fifth career grand slam on the play. “I was very happy they made that pitching change,” Stephens said of the home run. “I got a pitch I liked and hit it very well. It definitely gave a confidence boost- er, a security blanket — loosened things up.” The bases reloaded quickly after the grand slam with two base hits and another one of Kan- sas’ six walks. The defen- sive calamities persisted for the Jayhawks, and senior outfielder Holly Kern was able to steal home plate for a 6-0 lead on a dropped pitch by the catcher. Texas junior ace Tiarra Davis threw her fourth complete shutout of the season. She struck out eight batters, including a stretch in the third and fourth innings where she retired four of six Jay- hawks’ batters swinging. “I just really focused on attacking the strike zone and letting my defense work behind me,” Davis said. “Coach Clark did a really good job today of calling pitches and keep- ing them off-balance.” Kansas didn’t have is- sues with sending run- ners to bases. Although the game ended in a shutout, Kansas finished with nine players left on base in the defeat. Davis’ pitching stepped up to an impeccable level every time Kansas placed a foot on a bag. After beginning the season with a 2-6 confer- ence record, Texas has now attained the .500 mark in the Big 12, sitting at 7-7. The Longhorns host North Texas on Wednesday in the final game of an eight-game home stand. “Every game matters right now,” head coach Connie Clark said. “To- day, that was what we talked pregame. It’s May and teams’ destinies are decided in May.” By Steve Helwick@naqwerty3Longhorns win fourth-straight title, Hossler ties for second place overallWomen’s track picks up victory in IowaDespite cold and rainy weather, the Texas wom- en’s relay team came out on top at the Drake Re- lays in Des Moines, Iowa, this weekend. The Longhorns totaled 26 points during the relays, tying the Baylor women for the top spot to share the meet’s Hy-Vee Cup. Texas started the day with a strong second-place finish in the sprint relay, but the Longhorns struggled in the distance relay, coming across the line in 12th place. Texas rebounded with a win in the 4x100-meter relay. The 4x400-meter relay team of freshman Zola Golden and seniors Courtney Okolo, Mo- rolake Akinosun and Me- lissa Gonzalez pulled off a second-place finish while Baylor came across the line seventh, allowing the Longhorns to even up the cup score. Sophomore Caitland Smith scored a win away from the relay events, tak- ing first in the 100-meter final with a time of 11.55 seconds. Sophomore Ariel Jones and senior BJ Adeokun took third and fifth, respectively, in the 100-meter final. Neither event counted towards the cup standings. Meanwhile, the Texas men battled their way to a second-place fin- ish in the men’s Hy-Vee Cup standings. The men swept the sprint relays by taking first in both the 4x100-meter race and 4x400-meter re- lays. The team of senior Zack Bilderback and ju- niors Charles Amnunu, Aldrich Bailey and Carl- ton Amnunu finished with a time of 40.00 seconds in the 4x100-meter relay. Carlton Amnunu, juniors Chris Irvin and Aldrich Bailey Jr., and Bilderback edged out Baylor by 1.44 seconds in the 4x400- meter relay with a time of 3:05.51. The Longhorns return back to Austin to host the Longhorn Invitational next Saturday in the last regular season meet of the year. —Leah Vann, Jacob MartellaSPORTS BRIEFLY COMICS 7COMICSMonday, May 2, 20167Today’s solution will appear here next issue SUDOKUFORYOU 7 6 2 5 4 3 1 4 7 5 4 9 7 27 6 2 9 8 18 4 3 5 4 1 5 1 3 85 8 7 9 7 5 3 2 4 8 6 12 6 1 8 7 9 5 4 34 8 3 6 1 5 2 9 76 4 2 1 3 7 9 5 83 5 9 4 8 2 1 7 67 1 8 9 5 6 4 3 21 9 6 7 4 8 3 2 58 2 7 5 9 3 6 1 45 3 4 2 6 1 7 8 9 8 L&ACAT CARDENAS, LIFE&ARTS EDITOR | @thedailytexan8Monday, May 2, 2016When the Cisneros fam- ily founded Sunny Veil, East Austin’s first bakery, they rode their horses from East Seventh Street to bring freshly baked bread and brunch to the Driskill Hotel. “Generations of genera- tions have come through here,” said Diana Cisneros, who co-owns the restaurant with her husband. “Grand- parents come in with their kids and remember their childhood memories.” After moving to East Sixth Street in 1943 it was renamed Cisco’s Restau- rant Bakery & Bar, becom- ing a hangout for former president Lyndon B. John- son. The restaurant is still frequented by football star Earl Campbell. Hector Martinez, assis- tant manager at Cisco’s, has worked at the restaurant for more than 20 years. With his mother working as a Cisco’s cook, he grew up with the Cisneros fam- ily. He referred to the res- taurant as the “land of the Mexicas” because it is one of the few businesses left for Spanish speakers. According to city de- mographer Ryan Robinson, almost all of central east Austin and vast stretches of south central Austin have experienced increases in the white population during the last decade. He predicts the city will experience a possi- ble acceleration of this trend. “There used to be only families [in the neighbor- hood] and we used to know everyone and now we have no idea,” Martinez said. “This is the only place left where you can enjoy a meal from the old times. They remodeled it and people go out of business.” Cisneros said she has watched the demolition of small businesses to make room for bigger complexes. As the East Austin land- scape continues to change, the recipes of Cisco’s Tex- Mex cuisine and ”migas” have remained the same for nearly a century. “We’re not going to change,” Cisneros said. “But these walls have seen so much — there’s always so much camaraderie and the cooks have been with us for more than 20 years.” During the 1950s, Car- men and Moses Vasquez wanted to fill Austin’s Mexican food void with the flavor from their home- town, San Luis Potosí. They opened Tamale House East in 1958, following their family recipes that survived from generation to generation. The Vasquez’s grand- sons decided to keep the business running when their family members re- tired, unwilling to let go of their family’s legacy in East Austin. “We decided to keep the tradition going for the next upcoming generation,” Juan Vazquez, one of the five grandsons running the restaurant, said. The Tamale House opened in the East side, a low-rent home to most of Central Austin’s minorities. Over the years, an influx of people changed the East side’s original landscape of Victorian homes, gardens and artist warehouses into large-scale condos. The struggles of a changing economy and the rise of property taxes af- fected the family-owned restaurant, but Juan’s mother, Diane Vasquez, said Tamale House will continue running for more generations. “My family has experi- enced property taxes dou- bling, tripling, quadru- pling,” Diane said. “But it’s a matter of principle that there are Mexican food restaurants today. Why should we be gone? This is our home.” Juan and his cousins were raised in an apart- ment on top of the restau- rant where his parents still live. When they grew up, they traveled to Portugal, Spain and Peru, but came back to Austin to hold on to their heritage and incor- porate what they learned abroad into the menu. “The legacy is not some- thing that can be bought,” Juan said. “It’s something family has to build and keep alive. We wanted to keep the tradition because it’s part of our family history, part of Austin’s history and it was something we really didn’t want to let go of.” Growing up in the ’80s, Juan Guerra and his cousins walked from their houses to their family-owned East Austin restaurant every day. After helping their parents in the kitchen, the cousins played soccer in the streets and attended church with other neighborhood kids. “Everyone we ran into knew who we were” Guerra said. “It had that neighborhood feeling.” In 1963, the Guerra’s grandfather, Jorge, founded their family restaurant, El Azteca. In those days, Guerra said East Austin had more minorities, so it was easier for his family to live in that part of town. But today, the influx of people has caused rising property taxes, com- mercialization and gentrifi- cation in East Austin. “Now, it’s too expensive for a family to move to the East side,” Guerra said. “It’s just single couples who don’t have children. You don’t see anyone playing on the streets. It’s not a neighbor- hood anymore.” According to city demographer Ryan Robin- son, the amount of families with children was above 32 percent in 1970. By 2010, that figure dropped to 10 percent. The City of Austin website states the city’s rate of diversification has greatly slowed down, most likely due to spiking housing prices. Because of this population increase, the City of Austin started the East 7th Street Improvement Project in 2009 to upgrade pavement, sidewalks, landscaping and water lines. But the improve- ments also brought down- sides for small businesses. For three years, the project stationed bulldozers in front of El Azteca that didn’t allow customers to park around the area. “A lot of people went else- where and didn’t really come back,” Guerra said. El Azteca has been in East Austin for 53 years. Guerra said even though taxes and commercializa- tion are increasing, they will never get rid of their Mexi- can legacy by becoming a commercial chain. “We’re invested, not just with time, but with blood, sweat and tears,” Guerra said.

Gentrification: erasinG east austinEL AZTECA2600 E. SEVENTH ST. Carlos Garcia | Daily Texan StaffCisco’s is one of the original restaurants serving Mexican dishes, even after drastic changes in East Austin. Emmanuel Briseño | Daily Texan StaffEl Azteca was founded in 1963 by Jorge Guerra. Since then, the restaurant has suffered from gentrification. Editor’s note: Some of the names in this story have been changed to protect the sources’ identities. Bertha Delgado watched the landscape of her East Austin community slowly shift as new, sleeker homes replaced the ones she had known all her life. En- tire families vanished, and soon, murals and businesses followed suit. “I’m angry,” Delgado said. “I cry daily. It’s emotional, because nobody understands the heritage, the richness of what our area holds, and there’s only maybe a handful of people that are willing to stand up for it.” Delgado’s family has deep roots in East Austin. Edward Rendon Sr. Park is named af- ter her grandfather, a migrant farmer who became an influ- ential voice for the Mexican- American community on the east side. Delgado said she re- members a very different East Austin, one dominated by in- dustrial plants and pollution. She said once she had chil- dren, she realized she needed to advocate for their future in the neighborhood. Prompted by displace- ment and loss of culture in the east side, Delgado and other community activists formed Defend Our Hoodz, a group that aims to orga- nize residents in opposi- tion to harmful ordinances and developments. “When we would pass by and see a family that had once lived there gone, and we went to that house as children, we didn’t understand why they were not there anymore,” Delgado said. “Many of us were just doing our daily ba- sic things and not seeing that these people were wanting to come in and redevelop our neighborhoods. I think we were blinded to a lot of the change in the beginning.” The fight against Type 2 short-term rentals — hous- ing units whose owners do not live on the property and instead rent out the homes for 30 days or less at a time — was the catalyst for De- fend Our Hoodz. In Febru- ary, the Austin City Council voted to enhance restrictions on such rentals in order to eliminate them by 2022. Sal- vador Buendía, an organizer for Defend Our Hoodz, said Type 2 short-term rentals of- fered through services such as Airbnb encourage the increased property prices and speculation that lead to displacement. Defend Our Hoodz fights against power imbalanceBy James Rodriguez@jamie_rodRachel Zein | Daily Texan StaffArt professor John Yancey is the artist of a mosaic mural called “Rhapsody,” which is located on East 11th Street. Yancey hoped to embody the culture of East Austin that existed long before the area began to experience rapid gentrification. East Side’s musical history provides insight into impact of gentrificationAs soldiers returned from World War II and young Austinites looked for nightly entertainment in the late ’40s and ’50s, they were often drawn in by the sounds of jazz and blues music spilling out of downtown clubs on East 11th and 12th Streets. Up- and-comers and greats such as B.B. King, Etta James and Chuck Berry played ven- ues such as Victory Grill and Charlie’s Playhouse, bringing music to the predominantly black crowds segregated to the east side. The venues helped make up what’s known as the Chitlin Circuit, a touring route that brought musi- cians to audiences who couldn’t go see them at whites-only venues. A close-knit economy of res- taurants and other busi- nesses quickly built up around this cultural hub. “Long before Sixth Street, there was 11th and 12th Street,” art professor John Yancey said. “That was where the hot music was and the late-night scene.” Yancey, a longtime East Austin resident, helped memorialize the district’s cultural history with his mosaic mural “Rhapsody” in 2003, which depicts jazz musicians and the east side community in the era of segregated Austin. But as segregation ended in the 1960s, Yancey said black residents were sud- denly free to go to any part of the city they liked — and they took their money with them, causing clubs and other black-owned busi- nesses to close. “After about 1967 or 1968, when the economic decline started, people just kind of wrote that part of the city off,” Yancey said. “They assumed it had al- ways been how it was, kind of a barren area, but there’s a rich history before then.” Local music journalist Michael Corcoran said that the era following deseg- regation was an “aimless time” for East Austin. Even today, he said the east side music scene is thriving, but instead of blues and jazz, it’s MUSIC page 5TAMALE HOUSE EAST1707 E. SIXTH ST. CISCO’S RESTAURANT1511 E. SEVENTH ST.
