Students will no longer be able to walk and grab a shawarma wrap from Kis- met Cafe, as the restaurant plans to relocate to a newer building this winter. Owner Rami Bataineh confirmed the relocation, saying the reason behind the move is so the restau- rant will be able to cater to its growing business, as it moves to the Hancock Center on 41st and Red River streets. “It’s actually for the sake of an upgrade,” Bataineh said. “We’ve been sitting there for a long time, and the building is getting so old. We were looking for a new place to continue our good service.” Kismet Cafe serves Mediterranean and Mid- dle Eastern cuisine and has been located on the corner of West 24th and Students watched as the flames of a grease fire spread several feet into the air af- ter being doused in water at Gregory Plaza yesterday, in a demonstration hosted by UT Fire Prevention Services and the Austin Fire Department. In addition to the demon- stration, they provided fire ex- tinguisher training to students and faculty during the kick- off of Campus Safety Week, an annual event organized by Student Government. The demonstration focused on grease fire safety because kitchen fires are the most common type of house fire in America, AFD Fire Specialist Billy Zatopek said. Adding water to a grease fire can actually feed the flames, making the situation worse. Instead, a fire extin- guisher should be used in order to effectively put these fires out. AFD Lt. Sean Coggin said kitchen fires can be prevented by cleaning stovetops to avoid grease accumulation and keeping combustibles such as paper towels and potholders away from cooktops. “We say a clean kitchen is a safe one,” Coggin said. “Most fires are preventable. There’s always going to be stuff that happens that we can’t prevent, but when we can, it’s our job to try.” Zatopek said leaving the kitchen unattended while cooking is another common way for these fires to occur. In addition to the grease fire demonstrations, UT Fire Prevention taught students and faculty how to extinguish a fire using the “PASS” meth- od, which stands for “pull, aim, squeeze, sweep.” Nursing junior Niang Cing used a fire extinguisher for the first time during this sim- ulation and was able to put out a fire successfully. “I thought the fire would go out immediately, but it takes time,” Cing said. “It would be scary in real life, so I think doing this [simulation] is better than not trying it at all.” Fire Prevention Specialist Rick Trevino said education about fire safety has the po- tential to change lives. “A lot of people go through life learning things the hard way,” Trevino said. “If you can tell somebody not to put water on a pan of grease on a stove … before they actually do it by accident, it can be a major thing in someone’s life that they didn’t learn it the hard way. Through education, there’s no telling how many people you can affect.” Campus Safety Week events will continue from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Thurs- day at Gregory Plaza. Charlie Strong decided it was time to make a change. The Longhorns’ head coach confirmed reports of Vance Bedford’s demotion from the defensive coordinator position on Monday. Strong said he will take over play-calling duties for the burnt orange’s defense. “It’s been unacceptable the way we’ve played,” Strong said. “What I’ve decided to do is run the defense.” The move comes on the heels of Texas’ 49-31 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday, the third contest in four weeks where the Longhorns gave up over 45 points. Strong’s team looked woefully inadequate against the Cowboys’ pass- ing attack in Stillwater, Okla- homa, surrendering 392 yards through the air. Many of the same issues that plagued Texas through the first three weeks arose on Saturday. The Longhorns missed numerous tackles in the backfield and left huge holes for Cowboy receivers to run through. Sophomore defensive tackle Chris Nelson noted the team’s defensive de- ficiencies on Monday. “We’re not executing on the play,” Nelson said. “You can’t really teach tackling, that’s on us. We’ve got to start wrapping up and making plays.” On Sept. 26, Strong said he planned to get more involved with the defense and stuck by Bedford as the team’s play- caller. But after back-to-back losses and consecutive defen- sive meltdowns, Strong opted to take over Texas’ struggling defense. Bedford will move Transcript prices dou- bled from $10 to $20 on Sept. 12, increasing for the first time in 15 years. Joey Williams, in- terim communications director of the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, said the price increase is necessary to meet the demands of students. Currently, all transcript orders are filled within 24 hours, at a volume of over 100,000 transcripts per year, Williams said. Some students have taken their frustrations to the internet. An on- line petition protesting the increase obtained over 3,200 supporters within eight hours of being posted. The petition listed several complaints, in- cluding the lower prices of transcripts at other institutions of higher education. Even if the per-unit costs of tran- scripts at other institu- tions may be lower, those expenses are recovered through tuition or a one-time fee at matricu- lation or elsewhere, ac- cording to officials with the Vice Provost and Registrar Office. Business honors soph- omore David Contreras, who bought a transcript yesterday at the new price, said he is upset by the University’s lack of concern for how the increase affects students who are struggling fi- nancially. Contreras said the University should consider an alternative option for students who demonstrate need. “A lot of times, for the transcript, you’re apply- ing to … get scholar- ships,” Contreras said. The University of Tex- as system jumped from No. 7 to No. 4 on the Re- uters list of the world’s most innovative universities. According to Reuters’s analy- sis released last week, UT rose from its 2015 ranking of No. 7 because of its efforts to advance science, invent new technolo- gies and help drive the global economy. “UT institutions and their faculty and student researchers are relentless in their drive to make discoveries that improve our quality of life and develop better treatments for devastat- ing diseases,” UT System Chan- cellor William H. McRaven said in an email. “This ranking conveys the collective impact of UT System’s 14 institutions, the leadership of their presi- dents, and the transformational research conducted on their campuses.” Electrical engineering soph- omore Blake Martinisaid said he thinks UT ranked fourth because it makes an effort to integrate students quickly into their environments and pushes 1Tuesday, October 4, 2016@thedailytexanfacebook.com/dailytexanServing the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900dailytexanonline.com bit.ly/dtvidCOMICS PAGE 9SPORTS PAGE 8LIFE&ARTS PAGE 5FOOTBALLStrong takes over defense after lossesBy Michael Shapiro@mshap2Juan Figueroa | Daily Texan StaffTexas head coach Charlie Strong announced his decision to demote defensive coordinator Vance Bedford on Monday fol- lowing the team’s second loss of the season.BEDFORD page 8CAMPUSUT gets fired up for Campus Safety WeekBy Hannah Daniel@hannnahdanielBriana Vargas | Daily Texan StaffKrishnica Mittal extinguishes a fire during a simulation hosted by UT Fire Prevention Services and Austin Fire Department on Monday afternoon.

The eatery will close the weekend before Thanks- giving, and the new one will open in mid-Decem- ber, Bataineh said. “I’m not quite sure what will happen with business,” Bataineh said. “When we open up, we’ll see what hap- pens, but we’re going to keep the same menu, same hours, everything.” The new restaurant will also provide an upgrade in size and parking. The cur- rent restaurant is 1,200 square feet, and the new one will be 2,500 square feet, Bataineh said. Selam Metta, an archi- tecture and architectural engineering freshman, said he frequents Kismet Cafe but doesn’t think he’ll be able to eat there often once the restaurant moves to its new location. “I really enjoy going to Kismet Cafe for dinner,” Metta said. “The food is amazing, and it’s such a short walk from campus. It makes me sad that they’re relocating since I didn’t bring my car to campus, and I probably won’t be able to visit there as often.” For workers at the res- taurant, the move is a posi- tive one because parking availability for workers has been an issue at the current location, Bataineh said. Assistant manager Mari- ana Rodriguez said she will miss the interactions she had with students on a daily basis at the current location. “We’re not going to have the same clientele,” Rodri- guez said. “There’s not go- ing to be students. They’re more social, and over here students come in every day, some twice a day. Over there it’s going to be more families that I’m not going to be able to communicate with as well.” Bataineh said he believes the expanded parking lot will draw a different de- mographic of custom- ers and more business to Kismet Cafe. “Some people don’t come to this location be- cause there’s nowhere for them to park,” Rodriguez said. “Over there, it’s go- ing to be more convenient for them.” Bataineh said he plans to bring Kismet Cafe back to a location closer to campus, but there is no timeline for when that will be. “We’re looking forward to going back to campus once we find a bigger, nicer place that fits our opera- tion,” Bataineh said. “This place is 1,200 square feet, and our business is grow- ing dramatically, and it’s not keeping up with the amount of business we have. We definitely need a bigger place.” KISMETcontinues from page 1“The fact that you have to spend money just to be able to apply to get these funds is kind of ridiculous. I feel that UT, by doing this, are not really recognizing that it’s a privilege to be able to go out and buy these tran- scripts, and for some peo- ple, it can really negatively affect them for their week or month financially.” Shelby Stanfield, vice pro- vost and University regis- trar, said the proceeds from transcript fees mainly cover the cost of keeping the office staffed and maintaining the technological components of the academic records system. “The revenue from the transcripts use a cost- recovery mechanism that goes into recovering the costs associated with man- aging the academic record and then producing the transcript,” Stanfield said. “Those costs rise over time, predominantly in staff and in technology. As the cost … increases, the revenue recovery mechanism has to keep pace with that.” Students can obtain phys- ical copies of transcripts or send transcripts electroni- cally to other institutions, and this option comes with the cost of maintain- ing sophisticated technol- ogy and hiring IT staff, Stanfield said. Many students don’t need to purchase official tran- scripts because a major- ity of the information they provide is available for free through online degree au- dits and academic summa- ries, which are available at the Office of the Registrar, Williams said. Williams said the fee stayed at $10 for so long out of concern for maintaining affordability for students. “We haven’t changed this fee in 15 years because we don’t take this lightly at all,” Williams said. The Office of the Regis- trar corresponded with the Senate of College Councils to determine how the need for funding should be ad- dressed, Senate of College Councils President Sergio Cavazos said. Potential so- lutions included charging for academic summaries, a mandatory baseline fee for all students and ex- tending the turnaround time on transcript orders from 24 hours to 72 hours. Cavazos said the $10 in- crease seemed like the most ideal option under the cir- cumstances, since it avoids compromising on service or charging students who will never purchase a transcript during their time at the University. Students who would like to ask questions or offer input directly to the Office of the Registrar may at- tend the Campus Conver- sations meeting hosted by SCC at 6 p.m. on Oct. 10 in UTC 1.130. TRANSCRIPTcontinues from page 12NEWSTuesday, October 4, 2016 The number of female un- dergraduates and faculty in the engineering departments at UT are trending upward, and the Women in Engineer- ing Program is working to make those numbers match the demographic of Texas – 50 percent women. Since 2006, the percentage of women faculty members has increased from 10 to 16 percent, according to data provided by the engineering department. For undergraduates, the number has gone from 21 per- cent to 26 percent. The increasing numbers at UT are similar to national aver- ages, according to WEP direc- tor Tricia Berry. “The national enrollment is hovering around 20 percent,” Berry said. “We’re on a very slow trajectory upwards, which is a positive.” The WEP has programs de- signed to recruit as well as retain female students and outreach programs for students K-12 to help increase interest for young female candidates. WEP hosts an event known as “Girl Day,” which brings more than 5,000 elementary and middle school students to campus to participate in en- gineering activities and watch demonstrations. WEatUT and CREATEatUT are programs designed by WEP for high school students inter- ested in the engineering field. Meagan Wey, a student worker at the WEP, said UT has one of the highest female engineering populations in the nation, which the WEP has helped increase through com- munity outreach. “Not being supported in the way you need to be told you can do it [is a factor in the low num- bers],” said Wey, a mechanical engineering and French se- nior. “I’ve talked to students in recruiting to UT who say ‘I’m really interested in being an en- gineer but my physics teacher told me I couldn’t do it.’” Wey also said the low num- ber of female faculty mem- bers also lead to fewer role models for girls who may be interested in studying in the engineering field. “If your faculty numbers are really low, then what student is sitting in a classroom saying ‘I can see myself as a professor one day?’” Wey said. Lynn Katz, faculty chair of the Engineering Faculty Wom- en’s Organization, said while the numbers for women faculty members may seem low com- pared to the national average, UT is doing well. “When we look at search committees now for positions, we broaden the search,” Katz said. “Instead of looking nar- rowly at a particular topic we try and be broader and that brings in more candidates. … Each female candidate who visits the University meets with the engineering women faculty organization to talk about what it’s like to be at UT and in the School of Engineering.” Across the University, schools have done a better job at increasing diversity when hiring new faculty members, Katz said. According to her, more diversity leads to better schools overall. “People think of engineering as math and science as opposed to creating solutions to prob- lems,” Katz said. “The more we try and enlighten people as to the breadth of engineering, that it isn’t just applied science, it is really creating solutions to problems that face the planet and people.” As nutrition senior Lau- ren Sergeant walked around campus last Monday, she noticed street lights near Speedway were out and tweeted at UTPD. An hour later, after a series of phone calls and a quick tweet back, the lights came on. This was one of the latest instances of the interaction between social media and law enforcement. Cindy Posey, associate director of communications for University Operations, read the tweet and alerted the appropriate authorities. “We tweeted immediate- ly, and told her she was our hero,” Posey said. “That’s what we want people to do. We want to see every mem- ber of our community en- gaged in the community.” Posey said UTPD’s so- cial media presence makes the campus safer with their safety messaging but sug- gests people call 911 for an immediate police response. “People private message me all the time on Facebook with leads and reporting in- cidents,” Posey said. “I don’t mind people doing that at all, I think it’s wonderful, in fact I encourage it, but we really encourage people to dial 911.” Posey said they’ve also utilized social media in a case involving a man who has been exposing him- self, using tweets about the incident to try to locate the person. Undeclared sophomore Chris Wilson sees the po- tential for using social media with law enforcement and said students might not want to call 911 for every incident. “People think if you’re calling 911 it’s very serious, and people are sometimes reluctant,” Wilson said. “I think social media could be useful, but if you actually wanted to talk to a police officer, obviously calling them would be better in- stead of trying to [direct message] them over Twitter or something.” Austin Police Depart- ment Sgt. Alfred Trejo de- scribed the possible dan- gers of staying buried in a cell phone. “We’ve had cases where someone’s been robbed, and they can’t give a description because they were on their cell phone texting, and next thing you know they get hit behind their head,” Trejo said. “Now they’re hitting the ground and someone is going through their pock- ets, and they’re running off, and they never saw them. They never saw that person because they never looked around.” In the case of dimly lit areas of campus, cell phone use brought a quick solu- tion to the problem. According to a security assessment of UT’s cam- pus by the Department of Public Safety in August, many areas of campus need better lighting. Laurie Lentz, communi- cations manager for Uni- versity Operations Com- munications, said UT’s Facilities Services Depart- ment initiated monthly lighting maintenance checks for exterior campus lighting in April. The department has com- pleted about 900 preventive maintenance work orders so far, plus 100 repair work orders that corrected about 450 lights. UT’s Facilities Services also worked to improve sustainability and vis- ibility around Waller Creek this summer, and the re- moval of vegetation im- proved the performance of some lights that were partially obscured.

The UT System is the top-ranked public institution, behind the three private institutions of Stanford University, the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy and Harvard University. “My fellow regents and I are tremendously proud of all 14 UT institutions and the global reach of their research, discov- eries and scientific advances,” Board of Regents chairman Paul Foster said in an email. “At the System level, we are focused on creating networks and building collaboration among UT institutions to position faculty, clinicians, researchers and entrepre- neurs for the greatest possible societal impact.” Biochemistry freshman Melanie Webster said she be- lieves the new ranking is ex- tremely important for the UT community because it shows the University can broaden its horizons and is always try- ing to do better for the sake of the students. “This ranking shows stu- dents, especially freshmen, that UT isn’t limiting itself to being number seven,” Webster said. “If we keep this up, in a few years we might have the potential to be number one.” The other top 10 institutions on the Reuters list include the University of Washington Sys- tem at No. 5, Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Tech- nology at No. 6, University of Michigan System at No. 7, University of Pennsylvania at No. 8, KU Leuven in Belgium at No. 9 and Northwestern University at No. 10.

CAMPUSBy Van Nguyen@nguyen__vanSocial media platforms connect students with law enforcementEngineering program works to increase female enrollmentNEWSTuesday, October 4, 20163 Last week’s presidential debate was the most watched in history, drawing in some 83 million viewers. Since then, Donald Trump has blamed the perception that he lost the debate on the media, a faulty microphone and debate moderator Les- ter Holt, while citing unscientific online polls as evidence that he really won and launching personal attacks against Hillary Clinton and former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. These culminated in Trump encouraging his followers on Twitter to “check out” Machado’s nonexistent sex tape. Clinton, meanwhile, has enjoyed a bounce in the polls. In sharp contrast, tonight’s vice presi- dential debate between Tim Kaine and Mike Pence will offer little in the way of spectacle, and its ratings will likely pale in comparison to last week’s bonanza. That’s a shame. Although the vice presidential debate rarely if ever changes the trajecto- ry of the race — especially this year, with such high-profile nominees at the top of both tickets — it could affect the trajec- tory of the country, and there are some compelling reasons to tune in. For one thing, in Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the two major parties have nominated their oldest candidates ever. Notwithstanding Trump’s doctor Harold Bornstein’s dubious claim that Trump “will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” there is a serious chance that the next vice president could become president, or at least in an emergency. Moreover, Clinton and Trump are the least popular nominees in modern history, and if that unpopularity persists or deepens, then either one could be inclined or pressured not to run again in four years. (A similar fate befell Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1968 presidential election). That would make Kaine or Pence the presumptive frontrun- ner for his party’s nomination. In short, one of these guys could easily end up as president. That’s not the only good reason to watch tonight’s debate. Clinton and Trump are both lightning rods of controversy, and a certain amount of trivial tabloid nonsense surrounds both of them — Trump actually seems to invite it. Their running mates, however, are “bor- ing” and “B-list” by their own admission. This means that instead of spending time debating scandals and the finer points of fluff, Kaine and Pence will be likely pressed for details on what a Clinton or Trump administration would actually look like. How would each ad- ministration confront climate change, income inequality and racial discrimination? How would they treat international free trade agreements and military alliances? How would a Clinton administration build upon the Affordable Care Act? How would a Trump administration build the wall? And luckily, Kaine and Pence are both experienced public servants who should be well equipped to provide some answers. In a campaign reminiscent of a reality TV show, it can be difficult to see past the grand fi- nale (which is fast approaching). But squint, and you can make out the distant outline of the next four years beyond the next four weeks. Tonight’s debate will offer a glimpse of what those years might look like. Groves is a government sophomore from Dallas. Everybody wants their presidential can- didate to win in a landslide, yet voters also like the ebbs and flows of a nail-biter presi- dential race. In the past weeks, voters have had reasons to convince themselves either could be the case. On the day of the first presidential debate of 2016, Hillary Clin- ton was leading Donald Trump nationally by 1.4 percentage points. Now she leads by 3.5 percent. Democrats should be elated by this gain in ground by Clinton, but I would advise caution. We’ve seen bounces fade in the past, and we’ve also seen debate performances worse than Donald Trump’s. In the 2012 race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, the President was lead- ing in the polls by a little more than 3 percent (sound familiar?). After a frankly horrible first debate against Romney — in which one headline read “Obama Snoozes and Loses” — Obama eventually sunk to a losing margin of -0.7 percentage points. Granted, Romney’s lead only lasted one day, but the race remained within 1 per- cent until election day. We did not see this type of comeback. On the day of the first debate in 2000, polls showed Gore in the lead by around 2.5 per- cent. After a debate in which Gore kept re- peating the phrase “lockbox” and sighing — for which he was brutally satirized and criticized — he fell in the polls and within a week Bush had gained a clear lead. Famously in 1976, Incumbent Presi- dent Gerald Ford was in a fierce battle for the White House with Georgian peanut farmer (and fantastic businessman) Jimmy Carter. Ford, after a seemingly well-exe- cuted answer to a question on the threat of communism, famously said “There is no Soviet domination in eastern Europe and there never will be.” That is a gaffe per- haps bigger than Trump’s lie-defense of his comments on global warming. Why then did President Ford continue to rise in the polls, nearly catching Carter in the end? Is it the case that debates don’t matter? Could Trump continue on to tie the race? Well, political science seems to have an an- swer for that. Government professor Christo- pher Wlezien echoes the sentiment that de- bates don’t usually have large, lasting effects. “Debates can matter but the effects tend to be small, as most voters’ preferences already are fairly well developed by that point,” Wleizen said in an email. “Some of the impact of debates that we do observe do not last and even those that do can be canceled out by opposing effects from oth- er debates or events.” In the cases of 2000 and 2012, the losing candidates were gaining in the polls before they received their debate bounce. This is also the case in most races in which we per- ceive debate effects. That is to say that may- be presidential debates don’t significantly change the race, as Wlezien states. Perhaps the race is already changing, and the de- bates are well-timed to appear as causation. It remains the case, though, that these historic debate performances are perhaps worse than Trump’s cursory, off-the-cuff remarks. Contrarily, there could be some- thing different about Trump that does put him at a disadvantage when it comes to debate effects. Really, we won’t know for (at least) a week or two. If history serves as any indicator, don’t be surprised if Trump regains his footing. Morris is a government junior from Port Aransas. This weekend, swathes of students at- tended Austin City Limits, helping to main- tain the festival’s status as the most attend- ed event in the city. Hosting genre pioneers like Radiohead and LCD Soundsystem, as well as wildly popular acts such as Kendrick Lamar, the Chainsmokers and Cage the El- ephant, the lineup speaks for itself — ACL has grown immensely in the past 15 years, solidifying its place among Coachella and Lollapalooza as a world-class festival. How- ever, the festival has grown increasingly out of touch with its roots in the Austin music scene, trending more towards commercial- ization than supporting the arts. Big events, while designed to host big bands, detract from the intimate culture that characterizes our city’s music and contributes to the com- mercialization that hurts local musicians. Austin did not earn the title of “Live Music Capital of the World” without sig- nificant contribution to the arts. Through- out the 20th century, our city served as a hub for dozens of genres and styles, from folk to punk to reggae and everything in between. The unique cultural influences that synthesized here encouraged collabo- ration, and venues like Stubb’s and Vulcan Gas Company facilitated this musical ex- change, rendering themselves as historic in the process. This climate influenced musicians of monumental importance like Willie Nelson and Daniel Johnston, but what made the Austin scene so unique was the bands that performed for the sake of performance, not to get big or make copi- ous amounts of money. ACL was only a by-product of the city’s success in cultivating a supportive music environment. At its inception, the festival hosted well-known country musicians, but the lineup was evenly balanced out by lo- cal acts as well. Compared to last weekend’s slew of artists charting in the Billboard Top 100, the inaugural festival emulated a far more genuine Austin vibe and more accu- rately represented the scene’s diversity. As ACL has progressed significantly in 15 years, the Austin music scene has only deteriorated. As Chip Vayenas, drummer of local band Mingo Fishtrap, noted “the area is a little over-saturated” and weekly shows don’t have the “big turnouts... there used to be”. In a text message, Vayenas observed that there is “less urgency for people that live in Austin to see local acts … because they are spoiled by the amount of talent available,” making it difficult for musicians to support themselves financially. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying these famous acts — Major Lazer contributes to mu- sic just as much as A Giant Dog or any other local band does. But while the Austin music scene faces threats from a rising cost of living and declining community enthusiasm, we also need to make room for local musicians. There is not one clear solution, but cultivating a more inclusive space is the first step. If students and community members support DIY spaces such as Shirley’s Temple or co-op shows, we can provide a platform for musicians of all success- levels, styles and ages. Furthermore, influencing legislation to preserve the Red River Cultural District and other hubs of musical collaboration is crucial to ensuring the historic legacy of Aus- tin music is maintained throughout this period of tumultuous change and growth.

Snooping around her fa- ther’s desk as a young girl, Andi Gustavson found snapshots her dad took as a soldier during the Viet- nam War. But unlike many of the violent images taken during the war, her father’s photos showed something peculiar: joy. These photos sparked Gustavson’s interest in historical images. Decades later, as the Instructor Services coordinator at the Harry Ransom Center, she uses archival documents — mostly photos — to help professors and students connect to the past. As an undergraduate at UT, one of her classes was about the history of pho- tography, but what it failed to examine was how imag- es like her father’s affected understandings of war. Later, she decided to see the connection herself. For her dissertation, she studied snapshots from the Cold War and how the tone of the photos affected peoples’ perceptions. Dur- ing this time, she taught a class at the HRC us- ing their vast historical photography collection. When she finished her dissertation, she was hired by the HRC and now de- votes her time to poring over archives. But the photograph she talks about the most is one of herself, smiling through braces at the age of seven. At a Girl Scout camp, she stands near a tent wear- ing her dad’s oversized Air Force jacket. “I started to think about what it meant that I was wearing his military gear,” Gustavson said. “How is this a family photograph, how is this a photograph informed by war and the connections between those things.” Now she adores watching students make connec- tions about historical events while simultane- ously seeing how the in- formation translates to their class as a whole. “They’re taking part in building arguments about our world,” Gustavson said. “It’s exhilarating … They might see this tiny detail in a manuscript or photograph that I never would’ve noticed.” Name: 5047/PPD Development; Width: 29p6; Depth: 9.44 in; Color: Black, 5047/PPD Development; Ad Number: 5047W&N 5ELIZABETH HLAVINKA, LIFE&ARTS EDITOR | @thedailytexan5Tuesday, October 4, 2016Editor’s note: Tat-Tuesday is a weekly series that features students around campus and their tattoos.

Operation Naloxone is a student-led training program organized by Lucas Hill, a UT clinical pharmacist. Hill said the program was developed in response to recent legislation allowing Texas pharmacies to hold standing orders of nal- oxone — commonly known by its brand name, Narcan — a drug which reverses opiate overdoses. Hill said he was introduced to the anti-overdose initiative at UT by two leaders in community outreach, Mark Kinzly and Lori Holleran Steiker. “I thought that a good role for pharmacy would be to train our students to go out and do public teachings,” Hill said. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, naloxone reverses the life-threatening symptoms of overdosing on opioids, which include prescription pain- killers and heroin, by pushing out and replacing opioid molecules in nervous system receptors that attach to opiates and cause overdoses. The drug, called Narcan, is administered as a nasal spray. It gives anyone overdosing 90 minutes of normal breath- ing to get medical attention, which, according to Hill, may mean the differ- ence between life and death. Naloxone is now covered under UT insurance and can be picked up at the Forty Acres Pharmacy without an indi- vidual prescription. According to Hill, between 2000 and 2010, opioid over- doses were the fastest-growing causes of death in the U.S., and the death rate is still increasing. “In medicine, we like to think about how we work to pre- vent problems before they start or get worse,” Hill said. “We are way too late already. We are digging out of a hole.” Hill said the problem was created by incentives put in place in 1999 to push physicians to identify and treat pain without limitations. “In the 10 years that followed that incentive, opioid pre- scribing quadrupled and opioid-related deaths quadrupled,” Hill said. “Now, it’s a problem everywhere.” According to a 2016 KXAN investigative report, Travis County has seen a spike in overdoses and deaths related to fentanyl, a surgical-grade painkiller that is commonly mixed with heroin to increase potency. After hearing one of Hill’s lectures on opioid overdose, two student leaders in the College of Pharmacy, JP San- chez and Andrea Laguado, decided to address the problem on campus. “We started off with pharmacy students, [by] teach- ing naloxone administration in the college,” Sanchez said. “Then we started reaching out to and visiting co-ops and, recently, residence halls.” Hill said this student-led, in- home model is more effective than dispersing information at large events. “We are going into dorm rooms, sitting on people’s couches and presenting on someone’s laptop monitor,” Hill said. “There’s this accessibility [and] guerilla outreach feel. That is really cool.” Hill said while the federal government has no protocol for how bystanders should respond to opioid overdoses, he and other faculty have designed one for UT. Sanchez, Laguado and other pharmacy students are following this protocol to train these communities. “The training includes how to prepare a dosage of Nar- can,” Sanchez said. “We teach that, when dealing with an overdose, you should check for responsiveness, call 911 im- mediately and administer naloxone, even if you are unsure the patient is overdosing.” According to Laguado, the next step is to get the patient medical attention or another dosage of naloxone. Despite the potential benefits of naloxone, some Texas leg- islators have opposed its widespread use. Texas House Bill 225, which calls for medical amnesty for overdosing patients and associated individuals, was vetoed by Gov. Greg Abbott, despite approval from the Texas Legis- lature, according to a Texas Tribune legislative report. The reluctance to expand these laws is rooted in tradition- al views of drug usage, Hill said. “There is a lot of resistance to combining the two groups [prescription addicts and heroin addicts],” Hill said. “The reality is that there are more similarities [between the two] than we like to admit.” According to Hill, pharmacy students will soon be train- ing a wider range of people, including first responders. “It has been quoted to us that UTPD arrives on the scene within 5 minutes, so they would be a great partner to stop overdoses,” Hill said. “UTPD wants every officer trained and carrying naloxone.” Operation Naloxone has already had successful events at co-ops around campus and Jester East, according to Sanchez. They are expanding to more residence halls, off-campus communities and student organizations and hope to have social work, nursing and medical students to lead trainings. According to Laguado, the overall goal of Operation Nal- oxone is awareness. “Educate yourself, be proactive, talk to friends,” Laguado said. “We don’t want someone who could have done some- thing see one of their friends overdose and have no idea what to do.” By Sachit Saksena@insachiableUT starts first opioid-overdose prevention programOpioid overdoses — mostly from prescription pain relievers and heroin — have quadrupled since 2000, and 2,601 people in Texas died from overdoses in 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In July, Congress passed the first major federal legislation in 40 years to address the current opioid epidemic spreading across Texas and the rest of the United States. The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, signed by President Barack Obama with bipartisan support, focuses on rehabilitation for those with addiction issues, increasing pre- scription drug monitoring and expanding the availability of naloxone, a drug that treats opioid overdoses. Neuroscience associate professor John Mihic said opioids are medications that relieve pain by numbing the effects of the brain areas controlling emotion. Opioids come in various types, including morphine (used in surgery), hydrocodone and heroin. Though heroin has historically plagued socioeconomically disadvantaged areas, the affected demographic has expanded from inner-city minorities to include white men and women living in the suburbs, according to Jane Maxwell, research pro- fessor in the School of Social Work. “Basically drug patterns shift and change depending on where the drug is coming from, how it’s getting imported and how it’s marketed,” Maxwell said. Drug addiction and abuse can be seen historically in vari- ous cultures, from the early 19th century opioid epidemic in China to the ’60s hippie movement in the U.S., according to American studies associate professor Mark Smith. “The worst times that we see addiction are in societies [where] we see control has broken down … When people over- dose, it’s normally because they get a real good batch of heroin that they’re not used to,” Smith said. “It’s a drug of despair.” However, Maxwell said CARA, which currently lacks fund- ing from Congress, could be used to combat the social stigma of drug addiction. Mihic said some of the social perception sur- rounding addiction would be unacceptable when talking about other biological conditions. “How often would you ever look at a person with Parkin- son’s and say, ‘Look, stop with the shaking, control yourself?’ Nobody would say that. So that’s a change in neurochemistry,” Mihic said. “If you can accept that, then why can’t you accept that a change in neurochemistry that leads to drug addiction isn’t also something that a person can’t necessarily control?” CARA also expands the availability of naloxone to law en- forcement agencies and first responders to help reverse over- doses. Last September, Texas passed Senate Bill 1462, allow- ing doctors to prescribe anyone naloxone, as long as basic prerequisites are met. Naloxone can be administered in three ways: through the nose, injected into muscle tissue or into the veins. While there is a small chance of overdose, as there is with any external substance, naloxone does not lend itself to abuse. “With opioid overdoses, it’s not like you immediately die. It can take a little bit of time, definitely on a minute time-scale. So if someone recognizes that someone else is passed out and non-responsive and not breathing, they’ve got the naloxone,” Mihic said. “And when you inject it, it works really quickly.” Lack of breathing and a slow pulse is what leads to brain dam- age or death during opioid over- doses. Naloxone competes with the binding site on the opioid receptors, which buys around four to six hours for the person to receive emergency care to remove the opioid molecules from the bloodstream. “You know how in the movies, they said ‘Give them the antidote’ when someone’s been exposed to a toxin?” Mi- hic said. “Well, to an extent, that’s kind of [BS]. Except in this case.” Congressional law makes naloxone more accessibleBy Laura Zhang@_the_laurax3XTraining sessions heldNaloxone kept stockedNaloxone dispensed without prescription The approximate number of prescription-related deaths in Texas in 2013.

After winning a best new artist Grammy and collaborat- ing with high-profile artists, he was tasked with creating his next album, 22, A Million. He responded to this sud- den fame by slowly fading into the mist — unsurprising given that he first found fame in 2007 after releasing For Emma, Forever Ago, an album of soul-crushing folk tunes he created in a wood cabin in the forests of Wisconsin after a bad breakup. With his long-awaited third album, it appears Vernon has left his warm acoustic roots in the woods. Instead, 22, A Million showcases blown-out drums, synths, samples, beats and saxophones. Vernon’s vo- cals have always been slightly pitched up or down on previ- ous records, but his crooning voice is heavily manipulated and layered on this project thanks to devices created by Vernon’s band mates. Just as Sufjan Stevens fol- lowed up his folksy and critically acclaimed albums Michigan and Illinois with the heavily electronic The Age of Adz, Vernon ditches his gui- tar and dives headfirst into the more experimental realms of music. The outcome shows why Vernon is one of the most innovative and creative musicians today. While the band broadens their sound sonically, the- matically they stay true to their roots, focusing on exis- tential purpose, religion, love and heartbreak. “22 (OVER S88N),” the album’s opening track, has some familiar Bon Iver ele- ments: saxophones and a prominent Vernon falsetto singing, “It might be over soon.” But the album quickly takes a more heavy electronic turn on “10 d E A T h b R E a s T . .” where we hear growl- ing synths, blown-out drums and impressionistic lyrics such as, “Fever rest, I cut you in, deafening.” “715 – CRSSKS” opens like the beginning of his 2011 collaborative track with James Blake, “Fall Creek Boys Choir,” and features no instrumenta- tion. The lyrics are allusive and although they might not have definitive meaning, they carry bountiful emotion in lines like, “Oh then how we gonna cry? Cause it once might not mean something.” Its stark auto-tuned vocals sound like a re-imagination of a track off Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreaks. The theme of numerol- ogy becomes more evident on “33 “GOD”” a track that is 3 minutes and 33 seconds long and was released as a single 33 days prior to the album’s release. This is one of the more anthemic tracks on the project and the theme of question- ing religion is prominent as Vernon closes the track by asking, “Why are you so far from saving me?” Listeners who are intimi- dated by the more electronic and glitchy opening tracks will find solace in the second half the album. It’s mellower overall and songs like “8 (circle)” and “____45_____” have less vocal distortion and are reminiscent of Bon Iver, Bon Iver, which now seems like the middle ground that bridges For Emma, Forever Ago and 22, A Million. There are few missteps to be found on this LP, which pushes Vernon’s sound forward while still showcasing his beautiful lyricism. The main shortcom- ing of this project is that the tracks bleed together at times, leading to a somewhat claus- trophobic listening experience and some of the preludes and outros are a little long-winded and lethargic. Vernon admits that his sud- den fame might have nega- tively impacted him on the closing track “00000 Million,” where he sings, “It harms me, it harms me, it harms me,” but instead of returning to the woods never to return, Vernon found a way to evolve as an artist without selling out.

ALBUM REVIEW | ‘22, A MILLION’Rap music’s resident wild card Danny Brown made his name writing some of the most aggressively insane tales the genre has seen this decade. With his newest al- bum, Atrocity Exhibition, he’s hit his stride, dabbling in some of the most abrasive styles his genre can offer. Danny Brown broke out onto the rap scene with his second studio album, XXX, which displayed his abil- ity to find humor in the darkest of subject matters. XXX stood out among the crowd in 2011 because it showed that hardcore hip hop didn’t have to be a one- dimensional affair and rap- pers could experiment with strange syncopations and alternative flows. Now, two albums later, Brown is tying in some of his most serious content to make Atrocity Exhibition his most chaotic release to date. The hectic style of Danny Brown is on full display with this album in almost every element. Of the 15 tracks on Atrocity Exhibi- tion, only one is longer than four minutes, and each song often transitions without warning, bringing to mind the likes of MF DOOM and Madlib on their legendary collaboration Madvillainy. Brown’s lyrical tongue twisters are more than chal- lenging, taking stabs at ex- plaining his conflicted love for drugs even though he knows it will do nothing but harm him. Over a cluttered beat, Brown kicks off his al- bum with “Downward Spi- ral,” the tale of a three-day drug binge while trapped in a room with his demons. By the second verse, Brown gets hyper depressive when he raps, “Everybody say, you got a lot to be proud of, been high this whole time, don’t realize what I done, cause when I’m all alone, feel like no one care, isolate myself and don’t go nowhere.” After the first tracks, Brown dives further down the rabbit hole, discussing his demented perspective on addiction, mental ill- ness and drug dealing. The world Brown inhabits is sick and dark, and he constantly finds himself wallowing in the ups and downs of life, changing perspectives with ease from track to track. Highlights include the eclectic and catchy “Pneu- monia” and the no-way- out blunt attitude of “Ain’t It Funny.” Production wise, each song takes its own jagged approach to beat creation, bringing in grimy synths and annoying hi-hats to disturb the listener. It’s surprising Brown even considered writing lyrics to pair with some of these beats — most other rappers in modern music would have outright rejected add- ing lyrics over the clashing production style of this al- bum. That’s what makes the experience of Atrocity Ex- hibition so special: There’s nothing like it. Atrocity Ex- hibition is such a varied and engaging listen, it’s near im- possible not to get hooked on Brown’s drug. Joy Division is an obvi- ous influence on Atrocity Exhibition, not only because its namesake is the Joy Di- vision song of the same name, but because of the album’s overall feeling as well. Anger and despair rav- age Brown throughout this LP, and he seemingly turns from fear to joy and back on a dime. In a similar man- ner to the Joy Division track “Disorder,” Brown often takes his time to develop a story, but does so in a more manic fashion than Joy Division ever would. Individually, all of these elements have surfaced at one point in the recent his- tory of rap. However, hip hop has almost never seen these elements woven to- gether so beautifully. This is most certainly Brown’s wildest release to date and probably one of the craziest hip hop records not just of this year, but of all time.

The team hosted its an- nual Orange-White meet, where Texas swimmers compete against each other as a tune-up for the season- opener later this month. “The environment we have going is very competi- tive,” senior Will Glass said. “We split the team in half, and we’re racing against each other, and the more that we can create the en- vironment of competitive- ness and going against each other, the easier it is down the road when we’re facing other teams.” Sophomore John She- bat jump-started the meet while cruising to a victory in the 100-yard backstroke with a 47.33-second split. Sophomore Casey Melzer followed with a tightly con- tested victory in the 100- yard breaststroke, clocking in at 55.55 seconds. Jack Conger won handily in the 100-yard butterfly, finishing in 45.47 seconds. The senior earned gold at the 2016 Summer Olym- pics in Rio de Janeiro for the 200-meter freestyle re- lay and holds the Ameri- can record in the 200-yard butterfly. Glass finished second with a time of 47.75 seconds. Conger was not the only Olympian to notch a vic- tory at the meet. Senior Clark Smith and sopho- more Townley Haas took the 1,000-yard freestyle and in the 200-yard freestyle, respectively. The duo also won gold in the 200-meter freestyle relay in Rio. The 500-yard freestyle featured both Smith and Haas — the last two NCAA champions in the event. Smith, the 2015 champion, took first with a time of 4:18.98, while Haas, the defending champion, fin- ished second with a time of 4:25.62. All-American senior Mark Anderson, a two- time Big 12 Diver of the Year, narrowly beat fresh- man Grayson Campbell in the one-meter diving event, 319.72–316.27. Fresh- man Jacob Cornish won the three-meter event with 313.05 points. Texas begins its season against Indiana and Flor- ida in Bloomington, Indi- ana, on Oct. 21. The team hopes to set the tone early as it eyes the program’s 13th title. “I mean, we all have pretty high expectations,” sophomore Tate Jackson said. “We all kind of hold ourselves to a higher stan- dard than I think we prob- ably should most days, but we’re shooting for the stars. That’s always the goal.” to coaching the secondary alongside defensive backs coach Clay Jennings. Bedford’s focus on the secondary places him in fa- miliar territory. He played cornerback at Texas from 1977–81 and was named to the All-Southwest Confer- ence team twice. As a coach, he worked with the defensive backfield at six different pro- grams prior to being named Strong’s defensive coordina- tor at Louisville in 2010. Texas’ secondary has strug- gled throughout the season, giving Bedford plenty of work to do on the back end. The Longhorns have allowed near- ly 275 passing yards per game and 12 touchdown tosses on the year. Things won’t get any easier next week, as Texas faces Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was selected as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2015. “It’s all about being physical at the point of attack,” Strong said. “We’ve got to keep Mayfield corralled. We can’t let him get started.” Longhorn players ex- pressed support for Strong and his move to take over the defense. They noted the energy and passion he brings to that side of the ball, as well as his proven track record. Strong was the defensive co- ordinator of Florida’s 2008 national-title team. “It always resonates with me whatever [Strong] is trying to say,” sophomore linebacker Breckyn Hager said. “You see what he’s done at Florida, the pro- gram he’s built at Louisville. I’m excited to see what he does with the defense.” Bedford’s demotion marked the eighth staff change of Strong’s tenure. Of the nine original assistants on Strong’s 2013 staff, only lineback- ers coach Brian Jean-Mary remains in his current role. Strong addressed the high turnover on his staff, saying “There are decisions that need to be made and you’ve got to make them at the right time.” Strong’s move on Mon- day signaled yet another at- tempt to take control of the program and save his job. At 13–16 in just over two years at Texas, Strong’s program has underachieved and un- derproduced. But the Long- horn head coach believes taking over the defense will improve things in Austin be- fore it’s too late. “It felt like right now this was a move that needed to be made,” Strong said. “It only takes one game to turn your program around.” Breckyn Hager stormed off the field at Boone Pick- ens Stadium a little early Saturday afternoon. The sophomore line- backer was halfway to the Longhorns’ locker room before the Showband of the Southwest started playing “The Eyes of Texas.” Oklahoma State’s 49-31 trouncing over Texas in Still- water almost brought tears to Hager’s eyes when he talked to the media after the game. He said the Longhorns’ defense was “unacceptable” against the Cowboys. “I feel like I’m letting ev- eryone down,” Hager said. “As a team we’re just under- achieving. That’s not right. I’m not a loser. I don’t want to be a loser.” Hager said his decision to leave the field early wasn’t a conscious choice but an emotional one. He apolo- gized for the act Monday and said his father scolded him for the behavior. Others lagged behind Hager on their way off the turf. Head coach Char- lie Strong trudged in- side the visitor’s locker room behind almost all of his players. His defense allowed Oklahoma State to pile up 555 yards of to- tal offense. He spoke with a less assertive, but far more optimistic, tone after the onslaught. “It’s all about confi- dence,” Strong said. “It’s still kids playing with con- fidence. And you can get that back. You [just need to] get a win.” But Strong didn’t boast the same confidence he voiced just a month ago when Texas topped then- No. 10 Notre Dame in week one. And though Hager looks forward to the team’s matchup with No. 20 Oklahoma this week- end, he said the team still needs to work on regaining its confidence. “It’s very frustrating,” Hager said. “But it has to do with the whole defense. We can’t be frustrated. We’re one heartbeat out there. We have to be, you know … You can’t point fingers out there.” Hager’s frustration stems from the Longhorn de- fense’s inability to come up with plays on third downs. Oklahoma State moved the chains on seven of its 15 third-down opportunities, leading Hager to rant about that conversion rate. “We watched clips of last year’s game on how we didn’t get them out on third down,” Hager said. “[Defensive coordinator Vance Bedford] went over that with us specifically, and we did not stop them on third down.” Big plays on third down and a tackling ineptitude led to Bedford’s demotion. Strong will take control over Texas defense — in- cluding play-calling duties — while Bedford focuses on the secondary. But sophomore lineback- er Malik Jefferson said the team’s problems are deeper than coaching or execution on the field. He took an op- posing stance to Strong’s regarding the team’s confidence level. “One of the problems we’re facing is that we’re not believing in what we do,” Jefferson said. “I’m not saying we don’t believe in each other as a team. We go out there and have a lack of confidence when we play games.” Strong responded to Jef- ferson’s comment at his weekly press conference Monday. He said the play- ers have to have trust in one another in order to turn their season around. Strong said he holds firm on the notion that this season isn’t over and the Longhorns still have time to correct their woes. He said the team can make a statement — for the second straight year — against the No. 20 Sooners on Saturday. “Where you don’t lose them is that it’s still eight games left, guys, and we can still make a lot of noise,” Strong said. “I’ve said to them all the time: We are just as talented as anybody in this confer- ence, now let’s go play.” Name: 5049/House Ads-TSM - Director’s; Width: 29p6; Depth: 10 in; Color: Process color, 5049/House Ads-TSM - Director’s; Ad Number: 50498 SPORTS 8EZRA SIEGEL, SPORTS EDITOR | @texansportsTuesday, October 4, 2016FOOTBALLTyler Horka@TexasTy95Longhorn defense looks to regain confidenceBEDFORDcontinues from page 1SWIMMING AND DIVINGJuan FigueroaDaily Texan StaffSophomore line- backer Breckyn Hager pursues the football in last weekend’s loss against the Cowboys.
