After state legislation went into effect in 2015 making all versions of K2 il- legal, the Austin Police De- partment took the chance to crack down on businesses selling the controlled sub- stance, in addition to con- fronting street dealers who were surprised by APD’s aggressive strategy. Police officials are con- tinuing to investigate the sources of the August K2 outbreak and said that drug manufacturing is shifting from the international arena to local warehouses. “I don’t know if I’d attri- bute it to identifiable gangs as far as Mexican cartels,” APD Lt. Kurt Thomas said. “These are drug-trafficking organizations. The chemi- cals that are used to spray the benign plant substance in K2, those are typically coming from overseas, like from China, while your manufacturing is occurring in the United States in these big hubs like Houston.” Tetrahydrocannabinol, more colloquially known as The Riverside zip code, which borders Town Lake and runs from Congress Avenue to Ben White Boulevard, was the most crime-ridden area out of all Austin zip codes last year, totaling nearly 10,000 incidents in 2015, accord- ing to an Austin Police Department report. Several student-only apartment complexes are located in the area, and according to APD crime analyst Danny Santos, most victims of violent crimes — which includes murder, rape, aggravated assault and robbery — were college-age. “Counting unique people that were listed as “victim” or “juvenile victim” per each event reported … the age group between 17 and 25 had the highest count,” Santos said. APD has dedicated ad- ditional law enforcement resources such as patrols and increased vigilance of the area in recent years, and APD Sgt. Richard Ellsworth said the numbers for 2016 could be different. “That’s one of our highest areas in which we put our efforts towards,” Ellsworth said. “There’s a lot of patrol visibility over there, so any time you have more visibil- ity, hopefully you’re gonna have a deterrent.” Compared to West Cam- pus, another student liv- ing hub, Riverside had four times more rapes, almost nine times more robberies, nearly seven times more ag- gravated assaults and four times more burglaries in 2015. Ellsworth said he isn’t sure why Riverside has such a high crime rate. “I think if we knew that answer, we could Gov. Greg Abbott’s of- fice announced Friday that Texas will no longer partici- pate in the U.S. Refugee Re- settlement Program, which assists in the relocation of thousands of refugees from around the world, citing security concerns with the vetting process. Prior to the official with- drawal, state officials had threatened to leave the pro- gram unless the federal gov- ernment refused to “uncon- ditionally approve” a state plan requiring increased vetting of refugees and a cap on the number of refugees admitted into the state, ac- cording to the Texas Tribune. “Empathy must be bal- anced with security” Ab- bott said in a statement late September. “Texas has done more than its fair share in aiding refugees, accept- ing more refugees than any other state between Octo- ber 2015 and March 2016. While many refugees pose no danger, some pose grave danger … I strongly urge the federal government to completely overhaul a bro- ken and flawed refugee pro- gram that increasingly risks American lives.” Under the current system, refugees go through exten- sive screening processes through agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and State and Health and Human Services, a pro- cess that can take around two years. Once refugees are cleared, they are relocated through nine national vol- untary agencies across the U.S., where local nonprofit organizations contracted by the state use federal fund- ing to find refugees jobs, at- tend school and adjust to The narrative of hard- ships for people of color stretches back as far as the history of the nation itself, from slavery to modern- day racism, according to panelists this weekend at the first annual Black Studies Conference. The conference, a two- day event involving dis- cussions about black citizens and their role in society, was sponsored by UT Black Studies — a program consisting of the African and African Diaspora Studies depart- ment, the John L. Warfield Center for African and African American Studies and the Institute for Ur- ban Policy Research and Analysis — and featured a diverse group of speakers, from writer Rahda Blank to Lezley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer in August 2014. Black voices and what to do with them domi- nated the conversation of the panelists. Multime- dia artist Pierre Bennu said openly discussing the issues black people face helps people become more informed. “I feel like we are re- ally in a moment where we need to communicate, to talk with one another,” Bennu said. “And we have our own answers, we’ve given our answers to peo- ple who don’t have our best interest in mind.” Each panel was constructed around a dif- ferent aspect of the black experience and how it af- fects obstacles the black community is now facing. “We are sitting in the The first person I want to speak to is myself, and as an artist, I feel like I owe myself that freedom, I wanted to tell contemporary black stories, stories that did something to me.

Liquid THC is created in labs over- seas, such as in China, and shipped to the port of Hous- ton where it is taken to a lo- cal warehouse and sprayed on the plant substance that makes up K2. The varying chemicals found in THC, depending on how it was made, can lead to unpre- dictable side-effects. “The chemicals have been shipped locally, and the benign plant substance is being sprayed in these large warehouses, and then is packaged from there and then distributed out to other cities,” Thomas said. “We’re working current investiga- tions right now where we’ve corroborated information with some suspects we’re looking at.” Johnson declined to pro- vide details about the source of the August outbreak but said that APD is making ground in their investiga- tion regarding the incident. Houston and Dallas have witnessed greater problems with K2 drug-trading net- works compared to Austin, according to APD narcot- ics detective Jon Walker. Walker credits this Austin clampdown on K2 to the initial sweeps that were implemented as soon as selling it over-the-coun- ter became illegal. Police would work undercover as K2 consumers by purchas- ing the drug at gas stations or smoke shops, and would then subsequently arrest the business owners who sold it to them. “Because of that, you don’t see this open business selling of the K2,” Walker said. “People are scared to sell it in the open in Austin because of that sweep.” UT research professor Jane Maxwell, who con- ducts research involving substance abuse and drug trade, said ridding an area of a certain type of drug is nearly impossible. “There is no sweep- ing [K2] out of the area,” Maxwell said. “Arrest one dealer, and two more take his place.” According to data released in 2015 by the Tex- as Poison Control Center, the use of synthetic mari- juana spiked in 2013, after which there was a gradual decline between 2014 and 2015. Even with sporadic increases of K2 use in the last few years, APD officials agree that this drop in K2 is significant. “It’s not a local concern,” Walker said. “We’ve been in meetings with the at- torney general’s office … outside Austin, we’ve told them it’s not a problem here commercially.” probably address it and stop that crime,” Ellsworth said. “We can’t definitively put anything on that, or we would resolve it ourselves.” The demographic differ- ences between West Campus and Riverside make it chal- lenging to compare crime rates in each area, Ellsworth said. However, the close quarters in which students are typically housed in West Campus could possibly ac- count for lower numbers in crimes of opportunity, a factor Ellsworth said is usu- ally more characteristic of residential areas such as Riv- erside. Committing a crime out in the open where poten- tial witnesses abound versus committing a crime in a less densely populated area could possibly explain why certain criminals would feel more comfortable in Riverside, Ellsworth said. Crimes that characterize the West Campus area are distinct from those in Riv- erside and generally do not fall into the homicide, rape or burglary categories, al- though a commonality that connects the two neighbor- hoods is a high number of thefts. APD Sgt. Alfred Tre- jo said the frequent tenant turnover rate contributes to this issue. “[West Campus] is very low in violent crime … that doesn’t mean violent crime doesn’t exist, it just means that it’s lower than in other parts of the city,” Trejo said. “Property crimes are usually higher than most … because you have a very transient student population.” Students who are moving to a sizable city such as Aus- tin for the first time or who are simply living on their own may not be fully aware of the dangers a metropoli- tan area poses, Trejo said. Leaving doors, windows and cars unlocked are common reasons for the high theft rate in both the West Cam- pus and Riverside areas. “The dormitory type of apartments that are on West Campus … those are the ones that have been getting hit a lot,” Trejo said. “The latest one we’ve had this se- mester is students leaving their apartment unlocked, and someone’s just walking in and cleaning them out.” 0200400600800Number of synthetic cannabinoid items seized and analyzed by the Texas Poison Control Center201020152014201320122011Source: UT School of Social WorkK2continues from page 1BLACKcontinues from page 1Infographic by Sammy Jarrar | Daily Texan StaffCRIMEcontinues from page 1front row of a beau- tiful performance of black resistance,” said Lisa B. Thompson, as- sociate professor of African and African Diaspora studies. Topics of the panels in- cluded the role of black artists such as Blank, who said she wanted to use her art to portray the black community’s experiences in America. “The first person I want to speak to is myself, and as an artist, I feel like I owe myself that freedom,” Blank said. “I wanted to tell contemporary black stories. Stories that did something to me. I am my first audience.” Panelists also dis- cussed the Black Lives Matter movement and how the movement has raised awareness. “When Black Lives Matter begins to speak, all of a sudden the world be- gins to take notice,” said Kaye Whitehead, an associ- ate professor at Loyola Uni- versity Maryland. The conference created a sense of community for some students, such as Dwuana Bradley, an educa- tional administration grad- uate student, who said she felt inspired by what she learned at the conference. “As a first year doc- toral student, I’m trying to imagine my own dis- sertation and what my scholarship is going to look like,” Bradley said. “So to hear from people who al- ready have long-standing and respected careers was reaffirming.” Students who missed the conference can follow the hashtag #BlackMatters2016 for recaps and highlights.

Easley, UT Safety Specialist II, teaches a stu- dent how to put out a controlled fire using a fire extinguisher on Speedway Street during Campus Safety Week on Monday October 5, 2015. REFUGEEcontinues from page 1Run Wang, who works at MD Anderson Cancer Center, will be the first UT professor to serve as president of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America, an organization in- forming researchers on sexual health dysfunctions. SMSNA recently elected Wang, who previously served as its treasurer, to serve a two- year term as president. Wang is the Cecil M. Cri- gler, M.D. Chair in Urology at the McGovern Medical School at the UT Health Science Center in Houston and the director of sexual medicine in the Department of Urol- ogy at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. SMSNA was founded in 1994 and works to over- come the stigma against sexual health dysfunction by providing revolutionary care to its patients through research and new techniques. “SMSNA is the most influ- ential society in the world and I was fortunately elected as the President, a position that only the best urologist special- ized in sexual medicine in the North America can obtain,” Wang wrote in an email. “Our society is very keen to inter- national exchanging program and I strongly believe we will have very close relation with our colleagues around the world to advance global sexual medicine in the years to come.” Wang emphasized the importance of students practicing safe sex because STDs are the leading sexual medicine problem. Addition- ally, he encouraged students to seek professional help if they think they may have a sexual dysfunction. “I think that for the young people it’s very important for them to understand that [stig- ma exists] because many peo- ple that have sexual dysfunc- tions feel ashamed, and they don’t feel like they are men,” Wang said. “Even for the girls, they have sexual dysfunction and feel like they are not at- tractive. It’s very important for them to understand that this is not uncommon.” A ball weight with an ankle cuff, love letters and hand- written magic tricks are a few of the items you might find on display this month at the Harry Ransom Center. All of these materials have one thing in common: They belonged to renowned illu- sionist Harry Houdini. This Halloween marks the 90th anniversary of Houdi- ni’s death. Throughout Octo- ber, the HRC is commemo- rating Houdini with events that provide insight into the illusionist’s life and career. In addition, the HRC has a col- lection of Houdini’s materi- als on display in their lobby through Nov. 6. The collection features materials such as scripts and press kits from Houdini’s motion picture company. Eric Colleary, Cline cura- tor of Theater and Perform- ing Arts at the HRC, said Houdini stood out because of how he identified himself. “Houdini was different than many others during his time for a number of reasons,” Colleary said. “He considered himself an il- lusionist, rather than a magician.” Houdini worked to reveal the deceit of spiritualism to the public after he witnessed families swindled out of money by those who claimed to have magical powers. Khalid Qarryzada, electri- cal and computer engineer- ing senior and director of UT Magic Club, said his personal experience with magic has been driven by both a pas- sion for performance and a respect for the artistic ele- ments of magic. He likes to think this artistic passion is what motivated Houdini, as well. “For me, it used to be all about the deception and trickery,” Qarryzada said. “But as I became experienced, it became more about the art.” Some of the events the HRC will be hosting include a screening of “The Grim Game” and a cooking class inspired by Houdini’s favor- ite foods. “I’m very interested in il- lusionists’ performances and their ability to captivate and confuse audiences with acts that seem beyond the realm of possibility,” communica- tion studies junior Alyssa Hollander said. “I even sub- scribed to a magic subreddit because I wanted to learn how to do card tricks.” Colleary said the HRC hopes to raise the profile of their collection, while also revealing new information relating to one of the most enduring figures in Ameri- can popular culture. “Programs like these are not only fun and engaging, but they also help us to un- derstand different facets of Houdini’s life and career that we may not have realized be- fore,” Colleary said. Student Government’s Campus Safety Week kicks off Monday to raise aware- ness of UT’s safety services and precautions on campus and to provide students with access to campus resourc- es for personal safety and mental health. Sunny Sandhu, biology senior and Campus Safety Agency director, said Campus Safety Week has previously revolved around UTPD’s ser- vices, but this year’s initiatives focus on student-led pro- grams, such as SURE Walk. “We really want to em- phasize a lot of different initiatives, but by far the most important is the new and improved SURE Walk,” Sandhu said. SURE Walk, a volunteer initiative to provide stu- dents with an escorted walk home, has now become a joint initiative between SG and UT Parking and Trans- portation Services, Sandhu said. SURE Walk now has paid employees along with student volunteers. Campus safety has re- cently become an issue that many students and parents are worried about. To ad- dress this, CSA has sought to introduce knowledge of campus resources through its awareness programs. The campaign will intro- duce a new area of focus every night from Oct. 3 to Oct. 6 with events rang- ing from personal safety to fire prevention. The awareness week is in- troducing new initiatives as well, seeking to add on to last year’s program. “We’re looking to expand our definition of safety to include personal wellness, mental health and sexual safety,” Sandhu said. Dell Medical School will also be contributing to the personal safety night through their Model Healthy Cam- pus initiative, which seeks to provide a community-based platform for safety integra- tion. The initiative has also been adopted by other cam- puses to follow. Sandhu also hopes the week-long events will show both parents and students how campus safety is a pri- ority to the University and show that the CSA is working hard to address the need for a higher security presence. “Safety is now a priority,” Sandhu said. “And hopefully it will remain ingrained in our current culture.” Run Wang President of the Sexual Medicine Society of North AmericaAmerican life. Texas will no longer over- see the contracting of local nonprofits, but refugees will continue to be relocated in the state. Instead, another organization will be appoint- ed to oversee resettlement efforts, a decision that could lead to an even longer relo- cation process, a discour- aging realization for those seeking refuge in the state. “Coming to the U.S. was really hard for me because I didn’t know any English back then,” said liberal arts freshman Yoga Karki, who came to the U.S. from Ne- pal in 2010. “The process to get to the U.S. took a year … and it took me another two years to get adjusted [to American life].” Calvin Clites, French senior and outreach and development chair for the Liberal Arts Refugee Alli- ance, said Texas’ decision stems from fear. “[Abbott] wants to look tough, like he’s protecting Texas, because that’s what his constituents want,” Cli- tes said. “This decision only makes the process more complicated. If [politicians] did what I do every week- end, they’d see that these refugees are … not threats to our country, but [are] our neighbors.” Students across the Forty Acres think very differently about many things, but there’s one thing we all agree on: Student Government at The University of Texas at Austin has some changes to make. This was the common theme of many campaigns for SG office last Spring. And the scandalous debacle that took weeks to resolve in the wake of those elections under- scored that need. For months now, your representatives in SG, from President Helgren to the newest members of the general assembly, have been promising you that change. And I am pleased to announce that last week, the first wave of those reforms was introduced on the floor of the assembly. Assembly Bill 9 creates the position of SG attorney general. This is a common position among student governments at other univer- sities, including TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech and OU. At those schools, attorneys general are tasked with everything from conducting eth- ics investigations to representing students ac- cused of academic violations in their disciplin- ary proceedings. Here at UT, we currently have no such position. When our students are accused of academic violations, they’re appointed no counsel. They have a right to an advisor, and the Student Ombuds and Peer Ambassadors are required to inform them of that right in giving them an overview of the process, but that’s as far as they’ll go. When it comes to actually obtaining an advisor to be present during the hearing, our students are left to do so on their own. For many students without the means or family connections, that simply is not an option. When our student government is caught in scandal, it takes weeks and a second set of elections to resolve it. Our students are left wondering what the outcome will be. There is no internal set of procedures in place to en- sure an orderly investigation and resolution, and no SG office tasked with carrying them out. There is no one in SG tasked with advis- ing the executive branch in conducting their duties of office in accordance with pertinent rules and regulations, proactively preventing these complications. AB 9 promises solutions to these problems which are in place and working at other uni- versities. In addition to creating the office of attorney general, it creates a full staff of ad- vocates capable of representing and counsel- ing students, arguing before hearing officers, academic councils and the SG Supreme Court, conducting legal research on behalf of SG offi- cers themselves and tracking vital records that ensure transparency in the governing process. You were promised change. Change is com- ing. This is the first step. As the SG law school representative in the general assumbly and the chairman of the Rules & Regulations Commit- tee, I am proud to co-author this legislation, and I humbly ask you to show your support for this bill by contacting your representatives in the assembly and urging them to support it as well. Together, we can build a stronger, more responsive Student Government that better serves student needs. Let’s get to work. Hook ‘em, Horns. Parks is a second year law student from Port Neches. He is a university-wide representative. Recently, our state joined 20 other states — primarily Republican ones — in suing the U.S. Department of Labor for overtime laws that are set to be enforced Dec. 1. The new laws would enforce overtime payment to workers making $47,476 or less a year and affect 4.2 million eligible Americans — unless employers can prove that their job positions are of “executive, adminis- trative, or professional” capacity, known as the “duties test”. There is no reason why our state should be part of this lawsuit. These overtime laws would extend protections to an additional 5.6 percent of the Texas workforce, benefit and protect all Texas workers working over 40 hours and incentivize employers to ei- ther raise wages past the income threshold, give more time off or simply pay what these workers are already entitled. But our Attorney General Ken Paxton ar- gues otherwise in that such overtime laws “may lead to disastrous consequences for our economy” and are part of President Obama’s “radical leftist political agenda.” In the legal complaint Paxton helped file, the main arguments are the inadequacy of the “duties test,” an indiscriminate policy that increases the income threshold every three years to balance inflation and the strain on state budgets. However, for Texas, such com- plaints are either irrelevant or unsubstantial. First, the “duties test,” a test exempting employers from paying employees overtime who are in “executive, administrative, or pro- fessional” positions, has been accused of be- ing inadequate. However, the test itself has remained unchanged since 2004 laws, mean- ing employers’ abilities to vet employees for overtime exemption have also remained un- changed. This makes the lawsuit’s position seem dishonest because if the “duties test” is such a problem now, why didn’t Texas and the other plaintiffs sue the Department of Labor back in 2004 over this? Second, the income threshold increases every three years, which forces our state government and employers to raise and pay more wages to adjust for inflation, is to some degree a valid complaint. We don’t know within three years whether our economy will be doing well or not, or whether certain Texas businesses can afford increased over- time pay. To the Department of Labor’s det- riment, the overtime laws do not currently state in hard numbers what the income in- crease may be. But, according to current Department’s projections of the laws’ economic impact, U.S. payroll costs will only grow one-tenth of 1 percent per year and it “will not have a disruptive effect on the broader econo- my.” Therefore, Texas and other plaintiffs would have better judgment if they were to wait for actual figure increases from the Department before exclaiming economic woes and litigation. Third, in Section D of the lawsuit, there are various states citing the strain on their state budgets, but Texas is not one of them. In the very complaint that Paxton co-au- thored, there is zero mention of how our state budget would be directly harmed. Even in Paxton’s office press release of the complaint, there was no mention of this particular harm. Indeed, it may be that all radical leftist politi- cal agendas are inherently harmful to our state. But why would Texas want to deny eligible over- time workers their justified compensation? This misguided notion was partially re- vealed during the Texas Tribune Festival, when state Rep. Paul Workman, (R-Austin) supported the lawsuit and said “the market should be allowed to work” and that the fed- eral government has “no business” in offer- ing such protections to overtime workers. This direct onslaught on working-class Texans is shameful, and the fears that it proj- ects are fallacious. In this state, we should defend fellow citizens who work so hard and in return receive unfair pay. We must repudi- ate lawsuits that seek to maintain such work- ers in the wage conditions of 2004.

COLUMNPaxton’s overtime lawsuit threatens workersIf you don’t like campus carry, vote Democratic. In 2015, every single Republican in the Texas Legislature – all 118 of them, exclud- ing house speaker Joseph Straus, who does not frequently vote – voted to allow guns onto the campus and into the buildings and dorms of this university. They did so over the objection of this university’s adminis- tration, faculty, students, alumni and police department. They did so not for any care about us, about the students of Texas, but to fend off Republican primary opponents. The minuscule portion of this state that par- ticipates in Republican primary elections scared officeholders into supporting a crazy proposal because it is popular with the Na- tional Rifle Association. This should sicken each and every one of us. It should be a deal-breaker, one from which there can be no recovery and no forgiveness. My state representative back home in Houston is Sarah Davis. She is the most moderate Republican in the state legisla- ture. She’s pro-choice. She’s in favor of LGBT rights. She is pragmatic on the budget. And while I voted for her in 2014, I cannot ever again, because of campus carry. Davis made a choice. That choice directly led to myself and thousands of her constituents becom- ing less safe. I need not reiterate the myriad reasons that campus carry is an astoundingly awful idea. The near unanimity of its condemna- tion by pertinent experts on college and law enforcement speaks for itself. When I cast my vote, absentee, this No- vember, I will not vote for Davis. I will vote for her Democratic opponent, who tells me that he will fight against campus carry if elected. If you have a Republican state rep- resentative, then he or she voted for campus carry. You would be wise to remember, and to voice your unhappiness at the ballot box, where it will speak the loudest. I typically eschew single-issue voting, finding it petty and ignorant of other valu- able contributions that may have been offered, but campus carry is simply too important of an issue to gloss over. The callousness with which my representative, and about a hundred other constituencies’ representatives, made my safety as a stu- dent secondary to political expediency is no venial offense. In a year when most of the oxygen in politics has been sucked into a bloviating demagogue full of hot air and the presiden- tial news cycle he dominates, the down-bal- lot races can appear quaint and irrelevant. They are anything but. The state legislature regulates this university. And while Long- horns may have once assumed they were insulated from the bush league politics tak- ing place down the road, those assumptions have ended. The late Joe Jamail may have once sug- gested that UT was the third rail of state politics, but campus carry proved that the legislators — at least the Republicans — have no qualms messing with Texas. In November, I hope students and their family register their disapproval. Horwitz is a first year law student from Houston.

We still have a lot of season left, so we have time to make Joshua Guerra | Daily Texan StaffSenior outside hitter Paulina Prieto Cerame has been a force at the net for the Longhorns. She tailled 20 kills against the Wildcats. It was a game of call- and-response Saturday night, until a fifth set forced a sudden-death ending. After trading sets on the road in Manhattan, Kan- sas, No. 4 Texas (12–2, 4–0 Big 12) defeated Kansas State 3-2 to remain unde- feated in conference play. The Wildcats (12–4, 1–2 Big 12) fell for the 26th consecutive time to the Longhorns, unable to take advantage of their home court to snap the streak. “I thought they made some nice adjustments,” Kansas State head coach Suzie Fritz said. “They can do some things at the pins and that is the majority of what they do. You’ve got to be able to find ways to slow them down.” The teams traded blows on the scoreboard throughout the match, but the Longhorns fin- ished at a plus-five point differential. Both Big 12 programs recorded similar numbers in digs, kills and service errors, a testament to how tightly fought the contest was. Texas claimed sets one, three and five, while Kan- sas State won the other two. The match served as Texas’ second five-set match this season. Previously, the Longhorns lost in five sets to Wisconsin in Austin on Sept. 18. Texas benefited from 10 attack and service er- rors from the Wildcats to win the opening set 25-22. But Kansas State ignited a 4-0 run late in the second frame to upend Texas’ 22- 19 lead. Texas later had an opportunity to close the match leading 25–24, but the Wildcats roared back with another 3-0 run to steal the set, 27-25. The match marked just the second time the Long- horns lost a second set to an opponent in 2016, after falling in a sweep to Ne- braska early in the season. Despite the uncharacter- istic dropped set, Texas rebounded in the third to produce the most lopsided set of the night. The Longhorns burst out to a 5-1 run in the third set and never looked back. After winning 25- 17, Kansas State countered Texas once again with a mirrored result. In the fourth set, the Wildcats scored 10 of the last 12 points to seal a 25-18 set victory and force a final sudden-death frame. Kansas State started the fifth set with a 2-0 lead, but the teams consistent- ly traded points with the game on the line. Texas led by as much as four and ultimately came out on top with a slim 15-12 victory. Fittingly, senior outside hitter Paulina Prieto Ce- rame delivered the final kill, set up by senior set- ter Chloe Collins. Prieto Cerame was a force at the net for the Longhorns. She led the team with 20 kills and a .500 hitting percent- age. Collins setting up her outside hitters has been a theme this season, and it continued again in Man- hattan — she tallied 10 digs and a team-high 56 assists for Texas. Kansas State flourished off the efforts of junior setter Katie Brand. Brand, a two-time All-Big 12 per- former, posted 59 assists and 14 digs in the match. The Longhorns have an entire week to rest before continuing Big 12 play Sat- urday against Iowa State at Gregory Gym. up for some of the things we’ve done.” Texas, which has yet to pick up a conference win, has now dropped three straight conference games due to opposing goals in the final seconds. “We’ve had some critical injuries,” Kelly said. “We just have to continue to get healthy, and it’s going to be okay.” Texas returns to action on Friday at home against Kansas State.

The Longhorns (2–2, 0–1 Big 12) fell 49-31 in Stillwa- ter, Oklahoma, as calls for improved communication and tackling failed to inspire a quality performance from the burnt orange. “We’re underachieving,” sophomore defensive end Breckyn Hager said. “That’s what it is, we’re just under- achieving. It’s Texas, we know that, we’ve got to prove it. ” It was a sloppy performance for Texas, full of defensive lapses and special-teams mis- cues. Texas’ kicking game en- dured a stretch of dév vu with four missed kicks, including three blocked extra points. The Longhorns hadn’t experienced three blocked extra points in an entire season since 2006. Texas failed to take the ball away from the Cowboys on the afternoon while allowing Oklahoma State to gain 555 yards. The Cowboys gashed the Longhorns with one big play after another, gaining 13 plays of over 15 yards. “[If] You don’t get takeaways you have a difficult time of winning a ball game,” defensive coordinator Vance Bedford said. “We need to think about making plays.” Texas’ defensive struggles began on the game’s first drive, allowing freshman running back Justice Hill to sprint into the endzone from 30 yards out. The Longhorns whiffed on numerous tackles dur- ing the opening possession, something stressed by Bedford before the contest. The second- ary struggled to contain Okla- homa State’s receivers, while the defensive line failed to plug holes up front. “You can’t play the way we played in the first half and expect to win a football game,” head coach Charlie Strong said. “It was just total [lack of] execution.” Texas’ rushing attack kept the team close in the first half; the Longhorns rushed for 205 yards on 28 carries. Both junior D’Onta Foreman and sopho- more Chris Warren III pierced the Oklahoma State defense, each finishing with over 100 yards. Four of Texas’ five touch- downs on the day came on the ground. But Texas’ defense failed to keep up with the Cowboys’ at- tack. Oklahoma State torched the Longhorns for 390 yards and 37 points in the first half as Texas’ defense offered little resistance. Junior quarterback Mason Rudolph, who regis- tered three sacks on the eve- ning, faced some pressure from the Texas front, but it was to little avail. “[Rudolph] had to hold onto the ball today and make some plays,” said Mike Yur- cich, Oklahoma State offensive coordinator. “He’s got a lot of strength and he’s able to do well when he does scramble.” The first half’s offensive fire- works faded in the third quar- ter. The Longhorns struggled to gain momentum against the Cowboys defense as freshman quarterback Shane Buechele threw an interception on the team’s second drive of the half. Pinned deep in his own territory, Buechele threw an out-route into double coverage. Oklahoma State safety Jordan Sterns jumped the route, giving the Cowboys possession at the Longhorns’ one-yard line. Se- nior running back Barry Sand- ers Jr. punched it in two plays later to give Oklahoma State a 43-25 lead. “It’s about growth with [Buechele],” offensive coor- dinator Sterlin Gilbert said. “Some of those passes were tight for him with what they were doing on the back end.” Texas responded with a 64-yard touchdown run from Foreman on the ensuing pos- session, but it was not without consequence. Foreman injured his ribs on his the play and later had to exit the game. With Warren leaving with a knee in- jury at halftime, freshman Kyle Porter was forced to shoulder the load. SIDELINEFOOTBALLSOCCER | KANSAS 1-0 TEXASBy Tyler Horka@TexasTy95By Alex Briseno@thedailytexanThe Longhorns left Boone Pickens Stadium with more than just a 49- 31 loss Saturday afternoon. The Cowboys beat up the Longhorns, both on the scoreboard and physically on the field. Texas’ two leading tail- backs — sophomore Chris Warren III and junior D’Onta Foreman — left the game early with injuries. Warren exited at halftime with a knee injury, and Foreman went down in the third quarter with an abdo- men issue. They combined for 254 of the Longhorns’ 329 rushing yards despite both leaving the matchup early. The duo took pressure off freshman quarterback Shane Buech- ele, accounting for 10 first downs on the ground. “When those guys go down it’s rough,” Buech- ele said. “I mean, those are great running backs.” Warren’s injury ap- peared to be more serious than Foreman’s. He was seen leaving the game on crutches and was not made available to the media. Head coach Charlie Strong said the extent of Warren’s injury will be evaluated this week. Texas has been on the wrong end of several tight contests recently. The Longhorns played in three consecutive over- time matches leading up to Sunday’s matchup with Kansas, tying the first and losing the others. And as the clock hit zero, the Longhorns (6– 6–1, 0–3–1 Big 12) found themselves on the wrong end of yet another heart- breaking loss. The Jay- hawks (8–3–2, 3–0–0 Big 12) topped Texas 1-0 with a goal in the final 10 min- utes of the match. “We’ve played a couple overtime matches, so there is going to be a phys- ical fatigue,” head coach Angela Kelly said. “But you can’t afford to have a mental fatigue.” After a deadlocked first half, Kansas appeared to score in the 52nd minute. But a foul call negated the goal just seconds after the ball crossed the plane into the net. Moments later Kansas freshman midfielder Ka- tie McClure found herself in a one-on-one situa- tion against Texas senior goalkeeper Paige Brown. “Chris, I think he got hit right around the knee area,” Strong said. “I don’t know how serious it is right now.” Meanwhile, Foreman said he is fine and expects to play next week against Oklahoma despite missing the entire fourth quarter in Stillwater. Foreman broke through the Cowboys’ defense on his way to a 62-yard score late in the third quarter. He was hit late in the endzone, but said he strained his abdomen during the run itself, and the late hit only added to the pain. “I didn’t think it was that bad,” Foreman said. “I tried to go back out there on the field and when I made a move I felt it … Just gotta get some treatment and try to get ready for next week.” Foreman averages 145.3 yards per game in the three matchups he’s played in this season. Offensive coordina- tor Sterlin Gilbert knows how much it means to have both Foreman and Warren on the turf. “It affects you,” Gilbert said. “You lose those two guys and obviously what they’re able to do just skill wise, and you lose their execution. You just have to change and adapt and adjust.” Should neither Warren Texas loses players in StillwaterTexas falls to Kansas, remains winless in Big 12 conferenceSOCCER page 5nor Foreman see the field at the Cotton Bowl Saturday, Texas will rely on freshman running back Kyle Porter. Porter rushed seven times for 29 yards against the Cowboys in fourth quarter relief duty. The Longhorns use the 5-foot-9, 208-pound fresh- man primarily as a change of pace back, who presents a different challenge to opposing defenses. Texas hopes his speed and shifti- ness catches defenses off guard after having to tackle 250-pound backs. Buechele and Porter botched a few exchanges in the fourth quarter against Oklahoma State, includ- ing a fumble that Por- ter eventually fell on. He rushed for 4.1 yards per carry while Foreman and Warren averaged 8.7 and 10.6, respectively. But Buechele said that Porter is ready despite his lack of experience and that he’s capable of carrying the load of Texas’ rush- ing attack should he have that opportunity. “Kyle Porter can do the exact same thing as those guys,” Buechele said. “He’s a great guy. He’s a great run- ning back … you have to have confidence in the next guy that comes in, and we all have confidence in KP.” Brown stood her ground, knocked the shot down and corralled the ball to keep the score set at 0-0. “Paige Brown did a fantas- tic job,” Kelly said. “I think we are still creating dan- gerous opportunities [and] dangerous chances. It’s just executions and having that little extra touch or earlier of a pass.” Brown finished the game with four saves, three of which came in the second half. “I was making sure I was communicating with the back line to make them solve it first,” Brown said. “And if worse came to worst, then I had to make the save.” Tied with just five min- utes remaining, it ap- peared as if Texas would head into its fourth con- secutive overtime match. But the Longhorns found themselves in an all- too- familiar predicament. In the 86th minute, Mc- Clure received a pass from senior midfielder Jackie Georgoulis. McClure drove and fired the shot from six yards out, and the ball flew into the back of the net with little time left for a Long- horn counter attack. “We’ve played good in these games,” Brown said. “It affects you,” Gilbert said. “You lose those two guys and you lose their execution. You just have to change and adapt and adjust.” Texas gave up a pair of field goals to extend Oklahoma State’s lead to 18 in the fourth quarter, where it would rest un- til the final buzzer. For the sec- ond straight week, the Long- horns lost on the road. The momentum from Texas’ opening-week win over Notre Dame has now faded, ceding itself to the same questions surrounding Strong’s program that persisted for much of 2015. Now, Texas must find answers before the season slips away. “We have to put this aside and go take out [Oklahoma],” Hager said. “That’s what’s got to happen. We’ve got to turn around our season right now.” Joshua Guerra | Daily Texan StaffSenior goalkeeper Paige Brown tallied four saves in Texas’ 1-0 loss to Kansas. Brown has 29 saves on the season.

The Longhorns strug- gled as they faced ranked competition for the first time this season. The women, competing without key senior Sandie Raines, finished in 16th place. The men’s team placed 13th. “We wanted to beat our opponent, but we were flat,” assistant coach Brad Herbster said. “We got out poorly and never were where we wanted to be. We have to do a better job of passing. People were passing us and I know we are a much better team than that.” Sophomore Alex Rog- ers led the way for the men, finishing 19th with a time of 24:07.2 in the individual five mile run. “Alex was seconds off of making top-10,” Herbster said. “Seconds can be the difference between reach- ing a goal and not in a race like this.” Senior Mary Beth Hamilton was the first Longhorn to cross the finish line amongst the women, placing 75th with a time of 17:25.1 in the 5,000-meter run. The men and women look to bounce back as they prepare for the Penn State National Open on 14.
