1 HOLI, FORTY ACRES FEST AND ROUNDUP | SLIDESHOWS ONLINE @thedailytexan facebook.com/dailytexan Monday, March 30, 2015 dailytexanonline.com bit.ly/dtvid Serving the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900 UNIVERSITY Fenves is sole presidential finalist By Josh Willis @joshwillis35 The UT System Board of Regents voted Friday to select Greg Fenves, UT executive vice president and provost, as the sole fi- nalist to become the next UT president. If approved, Fenves will replace outgoing Presi- dent William Powers Jr., whose relationship with the Board has been tumul- tuous for the last several years. The Board must wait 21 days before making an official appointment. Fenves came to UT as a civil engineering assistant professor in 1984 and served as dean for the Cockrell School of Engineering from 2008 to 2013. Sharon Wood, who succeeded Fenves as en- gineering school dean, said she irst met Fenves when he was a faculty member at the University of California- Berkeley nearly 25 years ago. “I was very taken aback at his very strong vision. He articulated it very well — where he wanted the depart- ment to go and what targets they had,” Wood said. Since his appointment as provost in October 2013, Fenves has worked closely with Powers on a variety of University initiatives. At Friday’s meeting, three of the regents who have been most vocal in their criti- cism of Powers — Wallace Hall, Alex Cranberg and Brenda Pejovich — all vot- ed against Fenves.

From the irst dive to the inal wall touch, the Long- horns led the meet. he team dominated the competition, claiming the team title with 528 points. Last year’s NCAA champion, California, snagged second with 399 points and Michigan came in third with 312 points. Texas head coach Eddie Reese, named CSCAA Swim- ming Coach of the Meet, and former Ohio State coach Mike Peppe now share the No. 1 ranking for most NCAA titles of all time. Reese is the only coach in swimming and div- ing history to win NCAA team titles in four separate decades. “I’ve got 10 rings from win- ning 10 championships,” Re- ese said. “I have no clue where they are.” Reese said what matters to him is the individuals who make up his team. “I know what every kid did and how much they im- proved,” Reese said. “hose are things that really matter. It’s always about people. he number of championships just means I’m old.” Before the irst preliminary rounds began hursday, Tex- as, as a program, held NCAA titles in every swimming event except the 500-yard freestyle Sophomore Will Licon inished irst in the 400-yard individual medley to help Texas capture its 11th national championship.

By the end of the meet, sophomores Clark Smith, in the 500-yard free, and Will Licon, in the 400-yard individ- ual medley, had both earned irst-place times, rounding out Texas’s record sheet. In the 400-yard individ- ual medley, Licon defeated Georgia junior Chase Kalisz, the national record-holder CHAMPIONS page 4 Name: 3626/House Ads; Width: 60p0; Depth: 2 in; Color: Process color, 3626/House Ads; Ad Number: 3626 Sororities raise funds at RoundUp weekend By Jackie Wang & Danielle Brown @thedailytexan Ten UT sororities raised a combined total of more than $30,000 for charities during Round- Up, one of the Greek system’s biggest annual fundraising weekends. RoundUp is an annual weekend-long event fra- ternities and sororities host in West Campus. The participating sorori- ties hosted philanthropic events for a variety of charities, the American Heart Asso- ciation and the Austin including Center for Child Protection. On Friday, Texas Kappa Delta hosted “KD Quesa- dillas,” where, for $5, guests ate quesadillas and churros. Kappa Delta also ofered at- tendees face painting and a photo booth. Catherine Frost, human relations sophomore and Kappa Del- ta’s vice president of com- munity service, said sorori- ties capitalize on the sheer number of people passing through West Campus dur- ing RoundUp weekend. “RoundUp is just a great opportunity because the whole campus is kind of in FUNDRAISE page 2 ROUNDUP Fraternities impacted by city volume restrictions By Samantha Ketterer @sam_kett At the 85th annual Round- Up weekend, over 15,000 people congregated in West Campus for big-name per- formers, parties and crawish boils despite facing limita- tions because of the city’s new sound control ordinances. During RoundUp week- end, many UT fraternities host parties and performers at their houses. Musicians Rif Raf, Shwayze, Tra- vis Porter and many others made appearances this year. Sororities oten use the week- end to host charity events for their philanthropies. Lee Lueder, Interfraternity Council president and Plan II and inance senior, said IFC sold an estimated $25,000 worth of wristbands to non-UT students for $10 each. Round- Up is free for UT students. Zack Fernandez, mechani- cal engineering senior and member of Acacia fraternity, said his fraternity had no problems with Austin’s noise ordinances, which the City implemented last fall. hese ordinances place restrictions on ampliied music and mu- sic played outdoors in resi- dential areas. “We’ve gotten all of our per- mits in order, and everyone’s been having a good time,” Fernandez said. “he truth is, as long as you keep it under the limits of what [Austin Po- lice Department] tells you, … everyone can have fun.” Lueder said he hasn’t heard any complaints about the weekend, though several parties were disbanded. “A lot of parties got shut down, which was disap- pointing, because we didn’t ORDINANCE page 2 2 Monday, March 30, 2015 NEWS 2 FRAMES featured photo thedailytexan Volume 115, Issue 125 CONTACT US Main Telephone (512) 471-4591 Editor-in-Chief Riley Brands (512) 232-2212 editor@dailytexanonline.com Managing Editor Jordan Rudner (512) 232-2217 managingeditor@ dailytexanonline.com News Ofice (512) 232-2207 news@dailytexanonline.com Multimedia Ofice (512) 471-7835 dailytexanmultimedia@ gmail.com Sports Ofice (512) 232-2210 sports@dailytexanonline.com Life & Arts Ofice (512) 232-2209 dtlifeandarts@gmail.com Retail Advertising (512) 475—6719 advertise@texasstudentme- dia.com Classiied Advertising (512) 471-5244 classiieds@ dailytexanonline.com The Texan strives to present all information fairly, accurately and completely.

Grifin Smith | Daily Texan Staff ORDINANCE continues from page 1 know what to expect with the new sound ordinances,” Lueder said. “But I think it went pretty well.” Sullivan said some par- ties moved inside following sound ordinance violations. Attendance was lower at cer- tain events because smaller indoor capacities limited the number of people that could be admitted. “It honestly might have been a little bit smaller because of sound ordinance stuf,” Sul- livan said. “RoundUp is never going to be the same.” Ryan Sullivan, IFC phi- lanthropy chair and supply chain management junior, said the proceeds from the weekend will go partially to Friends and Family Com- munity Connection, an or- ganization that hosts food packaging events for those in need. he IFC and Univer- sity Panhellenic Council will hold an event in September during which students will package meals to be shipped out to impoverished people in Haiti. “All of us are very focused on our own personal philan- thropy stuf, which I think it is great, [but] something like [this event] that brings everybody together helps us give to similar causes,” Sul- livan said. Another portion of the money raised will go to the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas, Sullivan said. A inal portion will be allocated to the fraternities themselves to fund ixed costs of their fu- ture philanthropy events. Fernandez said he feels phi- lanthropy events should be the takeaway from the week- end, although the parties are the main draw for students. it’s “When you’re going to a RoundUp party, you’re the going [because] biggest party of the year,” Fernandez said. “The other side that you have to see is all the philanthropy go- ing on. That’s the big thing that you have to take away from this, is with all of the sorority events and food events, a lot of this is going to charity.” FUNDRAISE continues from page 1 one place, and it’s just a good opportunity to get people together and raise money for your philanthropies and get people excited about the causes,” Frost said. Kappa Delta aimed to ex- ceed its annual $60,000 goal for its local philanthropy, Austin Center for Child Protection, with the money raised at KD Quesadillas, Frost said. “In RoundUp alone, we typically raise $5,000 or more from KD Que- sadillas,” Frost said. “A few weeks ago, we did a golf tournament raised $60,000. It’s been a really big goal for us to achieve higher standards in phi- lanthropy, so this year has been great for us.” that Austin Center for Child Protection has similar aims as the sorority’s national philanthropy, Prevent Child Abuse America, which a member of Kappa Delta founded, Frost said. “Austin Center for Child Protection … takes kids who are in abuse cases and does a single forensic inter- view for them, so they don’t have to go through the in- terview over and over again and don’t have to relive the trauma,” Frost said. “It’s re- corded and sent to neces- sary parties. It puts them through a program to help them get back on track for a normal life.” Chi Omega sold tickets to its event, “Kickin’ with Chi-O,” and raised $7,595 for its philanthropy, Make- A-Wish Foundation, ac- cording to Kelly Brooks, advertising senior and so- rority member. “We sell tickets to Kickin’ with Chi-O, an event with snow cones, face paint, mu- sic and food,” Brooks said. “It’s really fun, and we do it every year for RoundUp, and all proceeds go straight to [Make-A-Wish].” Alpha Phi’s official RoundUp fundraising event was called Brunch for Lunch, which raised than $2,000, ac- more cording to Anneke Rood, human development and family sopho- sciences more and Alpha Phi’s di- rector of philanthropy. Rood said the proceeds from the event will be split between the national chap- ter of Alpha Phi’s chosen cause, the American Heart Association, and the chap- ter’s chosen cause, the Tu- leeni Orphans Home, a home in Tanzania for or- phaned children. Rood said Alpha Phi’s philanthropic partnership with the American Heart Association is important to both her and others in the organization who have per- sonally dealt with cardio- vascular conditions. “I was actually born with four heart defects, so it’s re- ally close and personal to me,” Rood said. “he Amer- ican Heart Association ac- tually funded the research for the surgeries that saved my life. It’s really cool for me to be in a sorority that cares so much about heart health and giving back to the community that’s done so much for me.” Name: 3514/re:fuel-Jimmy John’s; Width: 19p4; Depth: 8 in; Color: Black, 3514/ re:fuel-Jimmy John’s; Ad Number: 3514 FENVES continues from page 1 Foster said he felt the dis- senting voices speak well to the Board’s decision- making process. “I think it’s wonderful that we have a diverse board and that we don’t rubber stamp any issues,” Foster said. “We thoroughly vet every issue and all of our regents feel completely comfortable ex- pressing their views.” Former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, president of the Texas Exes, said the selection committee favored Fenves ater it interviewed him for the president position. Fenves was one of three main candi- dates in the search, alongside current UT-Dallas President David Daniel and Oxford University Vice Chancellor Andrew Hamilton. Hamil- ton, who was widely reported to be the front-runner, an- nounced he was taking a posi- tion as president at New York University early last week. “[Fenves] had a wonderful interview with the selection committee, and he was a top choice,” Hutchison said. “I think the Texas Exes are go- ing to be very pleased because he has overwhelming support from the people that sent me their recommendations.” Wood said she knows Fenves has a strong work ethic, as demonstrated by his early rising habits. “I used to joke with him — I get up very early because I exer- cise before work, and so if I ever want to catch Greg, I know that ive in the morning is the best time to send him an email,” Wood said. “I know I’ll get a I used to joke with him — I get up very early because I exercise before work, and so if I ever want to catch Greg, I know that ive in the morning is the best time to send him an email. —Sharon Wood, Engineering school dean response back immediately.” In light of budget shortfalls in the state government, Jefer- son Coombs, executive direc- tor of the Cal Alumni Associa- tion, said Fenves would be able to provide strong support for continued funding at UT. “At this time when public research universities face a lot of challenges in terms of fund- ing from the state, I think he’s a fantastic advocate for the impact and the power and the importance of public higher education,” Coombs said. Coombs said he believes Fenves will continue and build upon Powers’ goal of maintaining clear lines of communication with the UT community. “I really get the impres- sion that he is going to not just maintain strong dia- logue with students. I get the impression that he wants to expand it and that he is very personally enthusiastic about the connection with stu- dents,” Coombs said. 4A OPINION RILEY BRANDS, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF / @TexanEditorial Monday, March 30, 2015 EDITORIAL Graduate students need more reliable bus route Bus No. 663 — Lake Austin is the only UT shuttle loop from the Lake Austin area to campus. With three University apartments, Brackenridge, Colorado and Gateway, locat- ed on Lake Austin Boulevard, a large number of graduate students populate the route. Speciically, according to Division of Housing and Food Service statistics, 688 residents live in those three apartments, of whom 89.1 percent are Ph.D. students and 6.8 percent are master’s students. And that may still be an inaccurate picture. Many graduate students have families or are sharing rooms with other graduate stu- dents, so the real population is probably greater. However, commuting between two places is not easy. he general wait time for the Lake Austin route can range from 10 to 30 min- utes, a huge contrast compared to the two to ive minutes it takes to catch a Far West bus. In addition, the night shit is extremely un- predictable. Yueun Lee, a master’s student in nursing, told us that one shit is constantly missing between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.. Part of the reason for the long wait times is the the number of buses UT distributes to each route. Capital Metro, the University’s public transportation provider, details in its data that 17 buses run through Riverside, 10 through Far West and only four through Lake Austin, dropping to three along this route ater 10 a.m on weekday mornings. “If they can increase the frequency of the bus during rush hours, that will be great,” said Gurpreet Singh, a petroleum and geo- systems engineering Ph.D. candidate. “hat’s the time when people are coming and leav- ing.” he buses’ occupancy changes greatly throughout the day. Starting from 10:30 a.m., they are almost empty with only one or two students riding. Dur- ing the lunch rush, riders are forced to sit in traic jams since the bus runs through downtown Austin. his odd routing decision leads to an- other delay. James Hudson, a history Ph.D. candidate and a Colorado Apartment resident, said it is a huge waste of time for LA bus to go through downtown. And he gives his own sugges- tion: “he bus should turn let onto Lamar, then go north to the ramp that merges up onto 15th Street. hat way the shuttle could bypass downtown and avoid getting caught in all the morning traf- ic.” We asked if the University has considered changing to other routes. Blanca Gamez, as- sistant irector of UT’s Parking and Transpor- tation Services, responded. “he planners have worked over the years with shuttle bus representatives to ind the most eicient route to campus,” Gamez said. “he route the shuttles currently take is the best route based on various factors.” As far as we can tell, it is clearly not the best option. When the morning traic in downtown gets slow, the travel time extends to 30 minutes for what is usually a 10-minute drive. To solve this problem, the University not only has to think of a better route option and increase the frequency of the bus, but stu- Charlie Pearce | Daily Texan File Photo Nearly 700 graduate students live in University-provided housing along Lake Austin Boulevard. The current scheduling of the Lake Austin shuttle route, however, keeps them snarled in trafic. dents also have to make their voices heard. Some already have. Bamars Santos, a driver of the 663, got sev- en complaint letters in just three months. All of the letters were pointed towards bus de- lays. Both the University and Capital Metro did not explain how they address those com- plaints. We acknowledge that the bus service is expensive. For the academic year 14-15, UT will pay Capital Metro more than $4.5 mil- lion for all the shuttle services. Plus, other options on this route, such as Buses 22, 21 or 18, all take students to campus. However, in the long term, this unreliable schedule can drive students to purchase cars in order to arrive at class on time, which adds more inancial cost. Let’s not stray from the good intention of saving students time and mon- ey, and make a feasible plan for keeping the buses on time. Q-AND-A GSA President discusses goals for upcoming term DT: Can you say more about that? Wilkey: For example we have the housing committee. Approximately 2,400 responses [came back] from its recent survey. Con- sidering 12,000 graduate students and pro- fessional students, that’s about one out of every six for a group that for the most part doesn’t participate in the University tradi- tionally. This committee reached out to the constituents and made sure they partici- pated. We have people sitting on different committees now that weren’t represented by us before. We found some better ways to get ev- eryone engaged. Because every graduate student has a concern. COLA’s very con- cerned about TA stipends and TA posi- tions, and we are trying to make sure that COLA organizes a college council, just like the graduate student engineering council, a place for them to be just graduate stu- dents to make sure they are sharing best practices. DT: How likely do you think it is that new graduate student housing will be built in the near future? Wilkey: No administrator is going to say is going to happen in the near future. Ev- eryone is going to tell you the party line is just planning right now. We have no idea. I know it’s a big project which a lot of people are passionate about, so it’s hard to believe that we are not going to see progress. DT: So maybe first we’ll see improve- ment in existing graduate student housing? Wilkey: That’s one thing we are consid- ering. The housing committee is slowly di- viding into two sections: the group work- ing on new housing and the group working on current housing situations. Mostly, at this point, we’re just trying to assess and grab all the necessary data. Editor’s Note: Graduate students Brian Wilkey and Vance Roper were recently elect- ed president and vice president, respectively, of the Graduate Student Assembly. They served together part of this year after David Villarreal stepped down from the presidency early last semester. Daily Texan: Why did you decide to run again for president? Brian Wilkey: Vance and I had an inter- esting year, both of us starting from dif- ferent positions. By the time I took office in August, David [Villarreal] had stepped down. By the time we got caught up, it was November. I had only two and half months where I could effectively be working. That’s not a lot of time to do things. But Vance and I have felt we made a great part- nership, we are very proud of what we have done. We believe the next steps of GSA are very plain before us, and we thought they are the right direction to take, so we thought, “Let’s do this another year.” DT: Speaking of change there’s a lot com- ing to UT. How do you handle the transi- tion to the new president [of UT], the re- cent transition to a new chancellor and to new leadership beyond UT? Wilkey: The main job as [GSA] president is relationship building. I look forward to those chances to build relationships, with the new president [and] the new chancel- lor to make sure that from the start, the concerns of the graduate student body are being heard. I am looking forward to delv- ing in with the relationship with the new Student Government and some college councils. DT: Do you think graduate student con- cerns are being better heard now than they were this time last year? Wilkey: I think part of it is just that we are little more organized. You have a lot of people talking about graduate student concerns, but some of those concerns are housing, some are stipends, some are aca- demic grievance processes, but if we all yell at the same time, no one is going to hear what needs to be done. Vance and I came in and made a big deal of organiz- ing and made sure we spoke in a resolute voice with the message that we wanted to say. By that standard, I think yes, gradu- ate students are being better heard. I think the same concern raised last year are being raised this year, but we have new and more innovative ways of discussing that with the policymakers and the administrators. Pu Ying Huang | Daily Texan File Photo Committee — that’s our primary fund. We don’t have an endowment, we don’t have extra cash for social hours or giveaways or lectures. And we would like to do that. So for me [the task] is to begin the process of helping GSA to find some additional rev- enue strings. DT: What do you think of COLA’s task force report? Wilkey: I think they did a very good job of highlighting just how hard it is to be a TA. Not just the funding issue, but you want to feel appreciated in your work. I think they found sometimes TAs didn’t. DT: The GSA called for town halls on is- sues TAs currently face. Has the adminis- tration been interested at all? Wilkey: I don’t have enough information to comment on it. DT: Are there any differences between your platforms this year and David’s last year? DT: Anything else you want our readers to know about GSA for the rest of this term and next year? Wilkey: One thing we are going to con- tinue trying to do is a database for funding resources and graduate students opportu- nities. One of the things is that we see an increase of membership and participation, we want to keep going. Our goal is to make sure every department is represented. For me, I’m working on trying to help the GSA to become its “better self.” We get a lot of funding from the Student Services Budget Wilkey: It’s Graduate Students Apprecia- tion Month. This month saw some of us in DC to do our advocacy lobbying in Con- gress. We are concerned about research funding, we are concerned about taxation indebtedness. And some climate issues. We are really excited to have a whole year at the helm. You are going to see more and more graduate students making changes and waves. 3 COLUMN Feminism is still misunderstood ByJazmyn Grifin Daily Texan Columnist @jazmynalynn Behind every great man is a woman who makes 78 percent as much as him. his fact, along with other stories of many types of sexism told by women and men alike, shows exactly why in 2015, feminism is still very necessary. As Women’s History Month begins to wrap up, ev- eryone, male and female, should claim the title “feminist.” March is Women’s History Month, but this fact doesn’t seem to be as widely celebrated or as well known as other historic months — perhaps not speciically due to devaluation of women but a lack of emphasis on women’s empower- ment. Feminism and the ight for women’s rights have been going on for centuries, but they seem to have hit a plateau with the complacency present in our generation. Gaining the right to vote and own property as well as the ability to enter positions of power in the workplace are powerful rights obtained by those before us; however, the ight for gender equality isn’t over. Even ater women were integrated into pre- viously male-dominated workplaces, they con- tinue to hit structural barriers. Oten, women get placed in lower rungs of careers than men or, as sociologists have noted, positions requir- ing skills traditionally associated with “women’s work,” like care and keeping of the company rather than the actual work to progress it. Un- derlying this is an inherent gender bias that sug- gests that, since men and women are biologi- cally diferent, they should take diferent places within a company — keeping men in positions of power and women underneath them. An inherent gender bias lies within everyone, perpetuating that since men and women are supposedly different, they should take different places within a company... Feminism afects college students directly as soon we enter the real world and the work- force, where gender discrimination and bias have real consequences for women. Positions of power and speciic ields have historically been dominated by older, white males. Even today, women only make up 4.8 percent of S&P 500 CEOs — studies show the old boys’ club oten, perhaps unintentionally, maintains the status quo by promoting from within. Our generation has more power than ever to shatter the glass ceiling. Part of the issue with people refusing to label themselves as feminists lies in the bra-burning, man-hating stereotypes associated with the la- bel. he “f-word” is oten portrayed as a nega- tive thing, rather than an empowering one. he truth is, feminism simply means believing in the equality of men, women and oten non- gender-conforming individuals. It comes in all forms — varying between cultures, countries and even from person to person. he campus Gender and Sexuality Center and ally organizations aim to promote feminist ideals within the UT and Austin community as well. he center’s Feminist Action Project holds meetings, conferences and discussions surrounding female and related intersectional issues, opening the eyes of those who believe society has reached a point of equality. “A lot of people think that sexism is somehow over — there’s a lot of work we still need to do,” said Liz Elsen, program and outreach coordina- tor at the Gender and Sexuality Center. Ilse Muñoz, a member of the Feminist Action Project, agrees. “here are many ways that women, men and nonbinary people from all backgrounds and identities are oppressed by patriarchy that we still need to overcome,” Muñoz said. “hey’re all included in the feminist community, and we should all care about the lives of others to make the world a better place.” To be a feminist, or even to believe in gender equality, makes things better for everyone. Not only does it help to eliminate harmful stereo- types depicting women as inferior, but it also helps break down the hegemonic masculinity that men are expected to uphold and criticized for defying. It allows personal choice, individu- ality and the right to be yourself without being compared to what a speciic gender “should” be. Feminism, in the simplest of explanations, is a step toward social freedom for all. Feminism, in addition to group solidarity, aims to tighten the gap between those at the top of the social ladder, those at the bottom and everyone in between.

By Jeremy Thomas @jeremyobthomas Ater NCAA Tournament wins against Western Kentucky and California, Texas lost to No. 1 seed Connecticut, 105–54, in the NCAA regional semiinal, ending its long season. “It’s frustrating,” junior cen- ter Imani McGee-Staford said. “To be that close is really frus- trating. … Every play, every time you didn’t do what you could have done or what you were supposed to do is going to keep replaying until October.” Texas never led at any point in the game and faced trouble on both ends of the court. “Give credit to UConn … but today was just not a good day for us at all,” Texas head coach Karen Aston said. he Longhorns struggled early to combat the Huskies’ length, shooting 27 percent from the ield in the irst half. UConn’s height forced Texas to turn over the ball 11 times and resulted in seven blocked shots in the irst half. Texas pulled within 6 points midway through the half, but UConn went on a 27–5 run to extend its lead to 28 points at haltime. UConn junior forward Bre- anna Stewart scored a season- Rick Barnes inished ater 17 years at Texas By Peter Sblendorio @petersblendorio Rick Barnes’ tenure at Texas has oicially come to an end. Texas announced Sunday that Barnes is leaving the pro- gram, ending his 17-year career with the Longhorns. With 402 career victories, Barnes leaves the Longhorns as the win- ningest coach in school history. the 17 years I’ve had at Texas,” Barnes said. “I am grateful for When Barnes, now 60, ar- rived in 1998, he took over a middling Texas team that hadn’t reached the Final Four since 1947. Barnes quickly ele- vated it to a new echelon. In his irst 10 seasons at Texas, he led the Longhorns to 10-straight NCAA Tournaments, appear- ing in ive Sweet 16s, three Elite Eights and one Final Four, in 2003. But the Longhorns have failed to match that success in recent years. hey haven’t ad- vanced past the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament since 2008, and they missed the tournament altogether in the 2012–2013 season. Texas appeared to be on the upswing coming into this season. Ater a surprising third-place inish in the Big 12 last season, the Longhorns returned all ive starters and added a top recruit in 6-foot- 11 forward Myles Turner. he team entered this season ranked No. 10 in both the coaches and AP polls. Ater a strong start to the sea- son, the Longhorns slumped to an 8–10 record in the Big 12, barely backing their way into the NCAA Tournament. hey turned in perhaps their worst performance of the season in their only tournament game, scoring a season-low 48 points in a loss to Butler. Despite the disappoint- ing inish, Barnes said men’s athletic director Steve Pat- terson told him he would be brought back. “I was told ater our last game that I would be back said. coach,” Barnes as “hings changed.” According to multiple re- ports released hursday, which Barnes said he believes were leaked by the school, Patterson told Barnes he would need to make changes to his coaching staf if he wanted to return. “here was no way I was going to put my staf out there and say, ‘You’re the problem,’” Barnes said. Barnes said he believes the Longhorns are close to returning to national promi- nence, and he wanted to stay and “inish the job.” Although he won’t get that chance, Barnes said he isn’t bitter about the way his tenure ended. “No one could ever diminish what I think about the Univer- sity of Texas,” Barnes said. In addition to his early suc- cess, Barnes led the Longhorns to three Big 12 Conference championships with 20 or more wins in 15 seasons. Former Longhorn T. J. Ford whom Barnes had a close re- lationship with, was even on hand for Barnes’ farewell press conference Sunday. “I’m a product of him,” Ford said. “I am a product of what he believed in and his thought process.” Barnes plans to coach again, and he said he believes he will ind a new job more quickly than people expect. Before he looks ahead, however, Barnes made sure to look back. “I don’t have any regrets,” Barnes said. “Truly, I love the University of Texas. I always will.” high 31 points, with 20 coming in the opening half. Texas, as a team, tallied just 24 points in the irst 20 minutes. In the second half, the Hus- kies continued their shooting clinic, inishing with 13 3-point- ers in the game. Texas’ 18 turn- overs helped the Huskies grow their already commanding lead. UConn shot lights out — 56 percent from the ield and 42 percent from behind the arc. “hey were hitting on all cylinders today,” said freshman guard Ariel Atkins, who led the team with 11 points. “You have to realize that they’re basketball players just like we’re basketball players, and you have to stand and stick together.” Despite the defeat, Texas (24–11) had its best season, in terms of wins, since 2003–2004. In a season riddled with injuries and other hardships, Texas deied the odds. he Longhorns started 4–8 in con- ference play but inished the year winning nine of 12 games. Texas will only lose two play- ers to graduation — Nneka Enemkpali and Krystle Hen- derson. hey will have 13 scholarship players returning along with a strong incoming freshman class. “I want the players to relect back on the fact that there was a lot of adversity that they went through — but this was an ex- perience I think they had to have to understand how to get to the next one,” Aston said. “I’m happy that we made an- other step with the program, and obviously, we need to take another giant one next year.” MENS BASKETBALL MENS BASKETBALL | COLUMN Veteran head coach will be remembered more for character than accomplishments By Evan Berkowitz @Evan_Berkowitz In one tweet, Texas basketball legend T. J. Ford summed up the situation: a sad ending to the great- est chapter yet of Texas basketball. “Dear Rick Barnes, I nev- er thought this day would come,” Ford tweeted. “I dreamed of a fairy tale end- ing. You put Texas Basket- ball on the Map. Love you.” And it should have been a fairy tale for head coach Rick Barnes. Until Barnes let Clemson for Texas 17 years ago, UT’s program was irrelevant. In the irst 59 years of the NCAA Tournament, Texas made it just 16 times. In the next 17, under Barnes’ guid- ance, Texas made it another 16 times. He won more than 400 games and got Texas to the Final Four once. Barnes also had a knack for putting legends in a Texas uniform. First it was Ford. hen it was Kevin Du- rant. Before Barnes, Texas’ only well-known basketball player was Slater Martin back in the ’40s. Barnes made Texas basket- ball a part of the national con- versation for the irst time. But focusing exclusively on his accomplishments on the sideline does Barnes a disservice. hat’s not what he is and not what he wants to be remembered for. Barnes wants to know he did all he could for his players as their coach and mentor. “We can talk about the program, the wins and losses — that’s not what it’s about,” Barnes said. “It’s about the relationships.” Ford would call Barnes at 1 a.m. some nights and not just to talk about an upcoming game. Some- times, Ford just had general questions about basketball. Once, he wanted to ask why Madison Square Garden is called the Mecca. Barnes was just as gener- ous with his players this year. He made time for senior for- ward Jonathan Holmes ater Holmes’ concussion and talked to freshman forward Myles Turner ater particu- larly disappointing games. Barnes was always there for the players and his staf. At a press conference Sunday, Barnes hinted at an ultimatum he’d been delivered by men’s athletic director Steve Patterson: shake up his staf or leave himself. Ater Barnes’ assistants heard the news, they called him one by one and ofered to vacate their spots. But Barnes wouldn’t hear it. “here’s no way I could do that,” Barnes said. “hat would be saying this is about me.” hat’s just the man Barnes was. He was a great coach, but a better person. He said he will be rooting for Texas down the line, and even gave some advice for the coach who will succeed him. love “Enjoy it,” it — Barnes said. “You’re getting ready to walk into some- thing really, really special.” In an ideal world, Barnes would have met the high ex- pectations he set for Texas in his irst 10 years and even- tually let on his own terms, ater cutting down the nets for Texas’ irst champion- ship. His name would hang in the raters alongside Du- rant’s and Ford’s. But basketball is a busi- ness, and the world isn’t said he ideal. Barnes knows that. “You want the fairy-tale ending and it all to end right,” said. “Sometimes, Barnes you don’t always get what you want in life when you want it.” CHAMPIONS continues from page 1 in the event, with a time of 3:36.37. Smith’s irst place inish in the 500-yard free contributed 20 points to his team’s total. “Clark Smith didn’t even make this meet last year, [and this year], he won an event,” Reese said. “hat just doesn’t happen. I can’t make that hap- pen. He made that happen.” Freshman and London Olympian Joseph School- ing also made a great deal happen. Schooling helped make program his- tory when the Longhorns qualified swimmers, six an NCAA record, in the 100-yard butterfly prelimi- naries for the champion- ship final. Previously, no school had ever sent more than four swimmers to a final in any event at the NCAA Championships. the Schooling became first ever Longhorn to sweep the 100- and 200- yard butterfly at the NCAA Championships and the in first Texas swimmer general to earn a title in both events. “To swim my irst cham- pionship season with these guys, with Eddie [Reese] and Chris [Scheafer] and have so much success of the bat means a lot to me, and I’m excited for the next few years,” Schooling said. While Schooling has another three years with the Longhorns, the 2015 NCAA Championships marked the last time Tex- as’ seniors would compete as Longhorns. “I am still waiting for someone to wake me up right now,” senior Kip Dar- mody said. “I don’t think the meet could have gone any better for us. Sacrific- ing many Saturday nights and giving it my all every day, day in and day out, it’s surreal. Like I said, I am still waiting for someone to wake me up — it’s some- thing special.” Junior center Imani McGee– Stafford tallied 7 points and seven rebounds in the Longhorns’ blowout loss to Connecticut.

The social media move- ment, adapted from a pro- that originated at gram SMU, is dedicated to start- ing conversations about violence. Three sexual UT students — Edwin Qian, managing informa- tion systems and econom- ics senior, biology junior Ellen Cocanougher and accounting junior Wil- liam Herbst — launched the local campaign in ad- vance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which begins Wednesday. The campaign quickly as gained momentum, participants wrote “Not On My Campus” on their palms and posted pho- tos on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Sexual assault is a preva- lent issue on college cam- puses across the coun- try, and the full scope of the problem at any given university is often hard to determine, according to Erin Burrows, inter- personal violence preven- tion specialist for Voices Against Violence. According to the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault, 80 percent of Tex- ans who are raped never report the incident to law CAMPUS enforcement. Many na- tional studies have found that nearly one in five col- lege women are sexually assaulted over the course of their college experience, according to a report re- leased by the organization. Not On My Campus UT launched an online pledge asking signers to support and empower as- sault survivors, work with campus resources to pro- mote safety and engage in practices of bystander in- tervention. Qian said sign- ing the pledge amounts to a public declaration to stand up against sexual as- sault, which he hopes is the first step in putting sexual violence prevention into practice. The movement has not been limited to students — President William Pow- ers Jr. and former football head coach Mack Brown both participated in the social media campaign last week. Members of Not On My Campus said they hope support from alumni and faculty will help their message trickle down to the entire community. UT spokesman Gary Susswein said the campaign helps promote a no-nonsense at- titude toward sexual assault prevention on campus. “By participating in the # N o t O n M y C a m p u s U T campaign, [Powers] is try- ing to help our students spread that message,” Suss- wein said. “He is so proud of the stances that our stu- dents have taken.” In addition to a so- cial media campaign, the Texas Tricking merges mixed martial arts with breakdancing By Katie Keenan @KeenanArroyo Some people like to break- dance. Others practice martial arts. Texas Tricking mem- bers practice both — at the same time. Tricking, a new kind of sport that combines dance with capoeira, muay-thai and other styles of ighting, is growing increasingly popular across the country. Manage- ment systems information junior Joseph Oh is the presi- dent of Texas Tricking, a cam- pus organization that focuses on teaching students a fusion of martial arts techniques. Last semester, Oh created the club in hopes of inding other “trickers.” Oh’s interest in tricking be- gan nearly seven years ago, when he irst saw a tricker on television. In 2009, a group named Quest Crew won America’s Best Dance Crew, and Oh, watching at home, was captivated. “Steve Terada is the main tricker of the group; I got really interested because he did crazy lips and kicks,” Oh said. Oh eventually founded Texas Tricking with brothers Kevin and Justin Park. Since its founding, the organiza- tion has grown from three to 15 members who meet on campus four times a week for practice. Members leap across the loor and ly into the air, all while listening to adrenaline- pumping music punctuated by the occasional loud thump of someone falling onto the mat. Oh said trickers mix break- dancing power moves and high kicks and fast spins from taekwondo or muay-thai, pushing themselves to reach their fullest potential. Tricking follows no beat or rhythm, and athletes move at their own pace. Each per- son’s individual style can be incorporated into their trick- ing technique. Oh said Texas Tricking serves as a place where people of all back- grounds and skill levels con- vene to improve their abilities. Now that the group is larger, they are considering partici- pating in competitions, Oh said. For now, members focus on spreading the word. Most of the movements in tricking require a considerable amount of physical strength and stamina. Although fear of injury deters many people from trying out the new sport, so far, those concerns haven’t stopped UT trickers from pur- suing their passion. Amateur martial artist Joshua McCoy, who said he discovered Texas Tricking by searching online, said anyone is welcome to join the organi- zation to develop their skills. “It’s hard, but it’s not as hard as it looks,” McCoy said. “It’s a matter of getting out there and trying, like doing a backlip into a pool when you’re a kid.” Justin Huynh, biochemistry freshman and Texas Tricking historian, stumbled upon the sport while siting through martial arts YouTube videos. Huynh said locating a com- munity of trickers took him a while. “I joined the group be- cause I want to be near more trickers,” Huynh said. “I only started in my backyard by myself, and I’m always hurt- ing myself. It’s not the best place to train. Recently, I’ve found more trickers around the area, and we’ve been asking for training sessions with them.” Huynh pushed the organi- zation to network with other trickers in San Marcos, Dal- las and Houston. He hopes to continue sharing his passion for the sport. Although they risk getting hurt, Huynh, Mc- Coy and Oh said they plan to continue exploring this branch of martial arts because the rush of energy and adren- aline are addictive. “I just like to be in the air — it makes you feel like you’re lying,” Huynh said. “I have a favorite superhero, I’m a Su- perman fan, so that makes the feeling of lying awesome.” Joseph Oh, president of Texas Tricking, does a front lip at Clark Field on Thursday evening. Tricking is a style of martial arts that incorporates breakdancing, muay-thai and other ighting styles. Daulton Venglar Daily Texan Staff Graeme Hamilton | Daily Texan Staff Edwin Qian, managing information systems and economics senior, left, biology junior Ellen Cocanougher and accounting junior William Herbst are the founding members of the University’s chapter of Not On My Campus. group members plan to establish a campus orga- nization and expand out- reach various through prevention programs. “We don’t just want to be an initiative,” Herbst said. “We also want to be a con- tinuous, strong organiza- tion here on campus and be an intermediary source between the student body and the administration.” The group plans to bystander-in- conduct tervention training, hold self-defense classes and work with incoming fresh- men to provide survivors with the help and support they need. this “We know a lot of freshmen terrified are when they come in and experience type of culture for the first time,” Cocanougher “We want to be able to bring awareness about it and educate people about the resources on campus.” said. Burrows, who has ad- vised Not On My Campus since the fall, said reach- ing over 50,000 students with any campaign is chal- lenging and social media can be an effective way to spread the simple message of consent. Burrows said she is glad sorority and fraternity leaders are making a vo- cal stand about sexual as- sault on college campuses. According to a 2013 study conducted by research- ers at Oklahoma State University, men in frater- nities are more likely to perpetrate sexual assault, while women in sorori- ties are more likely to be assault survivors. “When people are talk- ing about issue of the sexual assault, they talk about the prevalence rates in Greek community, and that is true,” Burrows said. “But it’s not a problem specific to Greek commu- nity — it’s a problem in all communities.” Since the launch of the campaign on March 23, campus leaders from St. Edwards and University of North Texas have con- tacted the group seeking advice on how to establish Not On My Campus initia- tives at their schools. “By bringing it here, it’s going to be the kick-starter that spreads it across cam- puses,” Herbst said. “If we have a successful program here, it’s going to spread across to other schools.” FOOD Elisabeth Dillon | Daily Texan Staff Sauces, dips and spreads are the perfect way to add more lavor and nutrition to otherwise bland dishes. Get saucy: Dip into new dishes By Elisabeth Dillon @thedailytexan If there were a culinary- themed Bop It game, it would go something like this: Dip it! Stir it! Swirl it! Spread it! Sauces and dips are not only fun to play and experiment with, but they also provide extra taste and nutrition to otherwise bland meals.

Aside from being full of an- tioxidants, it also reduces blood pressure, cholesterol inlammation. Garlic and can be added to almost any savory spread to boost la- vor. Buy it fresh at your local grocery store, and use whole cloves — either minced or smashed — in your recipes. For a sweeter spread per- fect for morning toast ritu- als, try making a homemade fruit compote or jam. Soon- to-be-in-season berries and stone fruits make lavorful options. Simply cook down the fruit in a saucepan with lemon juice or other lavor- ing agents, such as vanilla bean or cinnamon, then jar and store in your fridge for continued enjoyment. It’s a great reined-sugar-free alternative to store-bought fruit spreads full of chemicals and preservatives. Chimichurri an Argentine pesto typically comprised of parsley, nuts, is vinegar, olive oil and gar- lic. Use it as a marinade or a garnish for cold and hot dishes. Although chimi- churri can be made several diferent ways, it almost always has a parsley base. Parsley is an herb oten added to the top of dishes before they are served, and you can also add it to any green juice you want to prepare. It’s low in calo- ries but high in natural vitamins and minerals, such as potassium and vi- tamin K. Potassium helps control heart rates, while vitamin K is essential for bone health. Try adding carrot tops to your chimichurri. While they contain tiny traces of harmful nitrates and alka- loids, small servings of car- rot tops are ine to ingest — and they boost your intake of potassium and chloro- phyll. Chlorophyll has anti- aging properties and also helps detoxify the body. And what to do with those carrots you got the tops from? Roast them, and then douse them in the chi- michurri you just made.
