Chants of “yes we can” ripped through the chilly air Saturday evening as supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) rallied in downtown Austin to watch the presidential candidate give a live-streamed na- tional address. The address came just one week before the Iowa Caucus on Feb. 1, when Iowa Democrats will be the first to vote on a democratic presidential nominee. As the early voting states ap- proach, polls are showing a tightening in the race, with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton los- ing ground as Sanders has taken the lead in some polls the last few weeks. Although supporters here in Texas will get their chance to vote later on March 1, that didn’t stop Texas voters and supporters around the nation from ral- lying as the Sanders cam- paign attempts to channel as much momentum as pos- sible leading into the early voting states. “It is wrong that working families have to work longer hours and earn lower wages, that people have to work two or three jobs while al- most all of the new income in wealth is going to the top one percent,” Sanders said in the address. “[People] un- derstand that it is an obscen- ity that the top one-tenth of one percent now owns al- most as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent.” The most enthusiastic cheers of the night came when Sanders focused on income inequality, worker’s rights or any of his other “bread and butter” issues. “I really like his stance about how we have this socioeconomic distribution that’s just totally skewed with the top one percent hav- ing the majority of wealth in the United States,” physics freshman Dane Rohrer said. “I think that’s a testament to the fact that we don’t really live in a free class system.” Sanders also touched on reforming campaign finance and fixing a criminal justice system that disproportion- ately targets people of color. Although Clinton has led every national poll released over the course of the pri- mary campaign, polls in Iowa and New Hampshire have shown a back-and- forth between the top two candidates in leads since the summer 2015. “It’s kind of cool to see the underground candidate, 1Monday, January 25, 2016@thedailytexanfacebook.com/dailytexanServing the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900dailytexanonline.com bit.ly/dtvidCOMICS PAGE 7NEWS PAGE 3SPORTS PAGE 6Pro-choice activists celebrate Roe v.

The victims, Jacqueline Lon- ghurst and Luis Suarez, filed the lawsuit in a Travis County district court and are seeking up to $1 million in damages. According to the lawsuit, Longhurst and Suarez said they are suing because of negligent operation at the event includ- ing a lack of security, under- developed safety measures and understaffed maintenance of street closures. They are also suing Andrew Bramwell, the man responsible for providing the vehicle used by Owens in the crash. This is the second time vic- tims of the incident have sued organizers of the festival and the city. In December 2014, eight victims, including three families of victims who were killed, filed lawsuits against SXSW with claims of negligence. Roland Swenson, co-found- er and managing director of SXSW, wrote a letter to the city of Austin on Sept. 30, 2014 detailing their efforts to en- hance safety during the event by working with Populous, an event-planning consultant. Swenson said this collabora- tion will serve to implement a comprehensive safety plan, or- ganize the permit process and improve long-term planning techniques. New STEM commons opens in PCLA new STEM learning commons will open officially today in the Perry-Castañeda Library to provide a space for students to learn about and collaborate in science, tech- nology, engineering and math studies. The STEM commons will be open to students of any major and will feature new mobile furniture and an increased number of white- boards and power outlets, according to Travis Will- mann, communications of- ficer for the University of Texas Libraries. Carolyn Connerat, asso- ciate vice provost for Stu- dent Succcess Initiatives in the Provost’s office, said the STEM commons is part of a holistic approach for the PCL learning commons to provide support for a variety of subjects. “All students have to take STEM subjects as part of their core curriculum,” Connerat said. “All students will be able to benefit from a specific place they can get help in those subjects. It’s a centralized location for students to look for [help] instead of having to go to different classrooms in dif- ferent buildings.” The UT Libraries and SSI provided $425,000 to fund the STEM commons. In addi- tion to UT Libraries and SSI, the College of Natural Sci- ences, the Cockrell School of Engineering, and the Sanger Learning Center combined efforts to create the space. “The [Perry-Castañeda By Rachel Lew@rachelannlewEmma Acosta | Daily Texan StaffBiomedical engineering sophomore Daegi Lee and civil engineering freshman Kelly Mullins study in the new STEM learning commons.PCL page 2SYSTEMUT System degrees yield higher earningsGraduates from UT Sys- tem schools earn about $150,000 more through- out their lifetime than students who attend a UT System institution but do not graduate, according to data collected by the UT System.

Officials at the training event said one of the most significant aspects of the campaign’s winning strat- egy is forming and training teams of volunteers who can accurately and efficiently tell Clinton’s story in no more than 30 seconds. “You’re going to be asking for one of the most valuable things: someone’s vote,” said Carlos Paz Jr., Texas lead or- ganizer for the Clinton cam- paign. “You’re going to be asking them for their time and helping you with your missions and endeavors.” With just seven days left un- til Iowa Democrats head to the polls on Feb. 1, Clinton cam- paign officials are aiming to prevent the prospect of a Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) win in Iowa and the other early vot- ing states by training volun- teers all around the country. “One of my biggest fears is that when we get people ex- cited, there’s nowhere to go,” said Amanda Renteria, Hill- ary for America national or- ganizer. “We now have some- where to go.” Although all of the cam- paigns for president are nar- rowing their focus to Iowa and New Hampshire, the Clinton campaign is actively building up its infrastruc- ture in the large number of states voting on March 1 — called Super Tuesday for its high delegate count — in case they lose the first two nominating states. “Our biggest state on Su- per Tuesday is Texas,” Ren- teria said. “People ask us By Forrest Milburn@forrestmilburnZoe FuDaily Texan StaffMark McKim, left, Jonathan Brou and Frank Moreno show their support for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders during his live stream nationwide address at The Mohawk on Sat- urday evening.

Ten years later, de- gree holders earned an average salary of $72,821, compared to $55,065 for non-degree holders. Bruce Kellison, associ- ate director of UT Aus- tin’s Bureau of Business Research, said in a state- ment that the data showed degrees are highly valued by employers. “By matching Texas Workforce Commission salary data with academ- ic achievement records at UT System campuses, the study accurately il- lustrates the tremendous salary advantages that graduates enjoy over those who don’t com- plete their degrees,” Kel- lison said. “The analysis clearly shows the value of starting one’s career with a college degree. The practical knowledge and thinking skills students learn in college provide graduates with the flex- ibility to adapt to the changing demands of a complex and global work environment.” Data from seekUT, which provides employ- ment data for UT System graduates after gradua- tion, show that average salaries vary by many fac- tors, including major and institution attended. En- gineers, for example, gen- erally make more than so- cial workers during their first year of employment. The salaries can also vary by institution; UT Austin math majors make more on average than math ma- jors from UT Arlington during their first year out of college. Tatem Oldham, assis- tant director of Liberal Arts Career Services, said that an undergraduate degree signals to em- ployers that they have desirable skills. “Employers recruit- ing on campus are typi- cally seeking current students, soon-to-be graduates and/or alumni degree holders,” Oldham wrote in an email. “An undergraduate degree provides valuable skills that translate to the job market. While employers prefer to train new hires on the operations and procedures required for the specific job, employ- ers hire college-educated employees because of the strengths, values and intellectual training in- herent in an arduous aca- demic program.” Hayley Bishop, Plan II and chemical engineer- ing sophomore, said she thought the difference between degree-holders and non-degree holders would be wider because of the high value employers place on degrees. “That sounds less than I would have thought,” Bishop said. “I would think that if someone graduates with a univer- sity degree versus some- one who doesn’t complete a university degree, no matter where from, they would make more than $150,000 more than the person who didn’t com- plete the degree.” Oldham, however, cau- tioned that varying sala- ries do not necessarily correlate with job satisfac- tion or happiness. “The value of gradua- tion is most often made at a personal level,” Oldham said. “In your example, an economics major may secure employment in a corporate setting with a higher salary than a psy- chology student in a pub- lic service career; how- ever, the value that each places on her salary and career satisfaction de- pends on her personal val- ues, goals and needs.” PCLcontinues from page 1DEGREEcontinues from page 1 Name: 4392/Around Campus c/o HTC Vive; Width: 29p6; Depth: 10 in; Color: Process color, 4392/Around Campus c/o HTC Vive; Ad Number: 4392W&N 3NEWSMonday, January 25, 20163[if] Texas matters, and yes it does. It matters [because of] the math.” Clinton’s platform, which lines up with Sanders and former Marlyand Gov. Martin O’Malley on most issues, has focused on free community college, higher wages, ending racial pro- filing and passing compre- hensive gun reforms. Government senior Kelly Schaefer said she was in- clined to support and vol- unteer for the Hillary cam- paign because of Clinton’s clear advantage in electabil- ity and focus on gender-re- lated issues. “You have to have the tools to implement the things you’re talking about,” Shaefer said. “While I totally agree with Bernie, I think that her track record shows over and over again that she has the ability to do what she says she’s going to do.” The Democratic primary is heavily divided among sev- eral demographic lines, with most whites, men and mil- lennial voters being among Sanders’ strongest support- ers. On the other hand, Clin- ton, who leads among people of color and older voters, has her strongest support com- ing from women. “Where I see some of our excitement and energy coming from is from these young millennial women,” Renteria said. “For us, it’s you gotta earn every single vote, and we’re going to continue doing it.” who 10 months ago was brushed off as a bump in the road, now beating the leading Democratic can- didate,” radio-television- film senior Christopher Nickelson said. “I think it says something about our democracy that you can’t say somebody is a shoo-in for some position.” Campaign volunteer Sa- vannah Norton, a Cornell University graduate from Austin, said the Sanders campaign is feeling strong heading into Iowa because they believe they have a clear advantage among young vot- ers. “He advertises that he’s a Democratic Socialist, he talks about revolution,” Norton said. “That’s very Austin.” Although he came ready to support Sanders, Nick- elson said he believes all Democrats and especially students should eventually rally around the Democratic nominee in order to stay united against the Republi- cans in November’s presi- dential election. “Just because you’re a Bernie supporter now doesn’t mean you can’t support Hillary if she’s the Democratic nominee,” Nick- elson said. “I think it’s really important for people to stick with the Democratic values we’ve seen so far.” Tonight at 8 p.m., CNN is hosting a presidential town hall, where all three candi- dates for the nomination will have one last chance to make their case to Iowa Democrats voting on Feb. 1.

More than forty years after seven Supreme Court justices struck down a Texas anti-abor- tion law in the Roe case, a dif- ferent court with a 5-4 majority of Republican-appointed jus- tices is set to hear arguments on Texas’ House Bill 2 on March 2. HB2, an anti-abortion law passed in summer 2013, bans abortions after 20 weeks, re- quires that abortion providers must qualify as “ambulatory surgical centers” and must only employ doctors to perform abortions who also have ad- mitting privileges at a nearby hospital. “More often than not, we’re realizing that the practical ef- fects of this law are to prevent women from accessing the safe, compassionate and profession- al care that they deserve,” said Marva Sadler, director of clini- cal services for Whole Woman’s Health. “In the end, these laws are only hurting thousands of Texans and perpetuating a cy- cle that takes decisions [away] from women.” Speakers at the rally in- cluded representatives from NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, Whole Woman’s Health, the National Organization for Women, and Planned Parent- hood, all groups who helped organize the rally. The June 2013 13-hour fili- buster from State Sen. Wendy Davis against HB2 — although it eventually failed during a later special session of the leg- islature dedicated to passing the bill — has invigorated and inspired abortion rights activ- ists from Texas and all over the country. State Sen. Kirk Watson from Austin, who spoke along- side other legislators, focused heavily on the HB2 filibuster, during which he supported Sen. Davis’ filibuster. “The key to that day was that the people were there and were all together, and that was what made all the difference,” Wat- son said. Mari Schimmer, executive director for the advocacy group Shift. at the rally, said she is not worried because of the court’s history of siding with the peo- ple on abortion. “The energy of the country [shows] people want abortion to be available, they want it to be safe and they want it to be something that everyone who needs it can get and afford,” Schimmer said. “I think the Supreme Court will feel that energy and rule in the way that our country is headed.” The stakes in the upcoming Supreme Court case, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, Thousands gathered on the south steps of the Texas Capitol to express support for tight- ened abortion restrictions one day after the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade at an anti-abor- tion rally Saturday. Among the speakers was Melissa Ohden, who had a sa- line infusion abortion, which consists of injecting a saline solution into the uterus, ac- cording to a testimony she gave before the U.S. Congress House Judiciary Committee last Sep- tember. The procedure is rarely used anymore because safer abortion techniques have been developed. “What a tragedy that we have come this far,” said Ohden, the founder of the Abortion Survi- vors Network. “We know that your tax dollars and mine are still going to an organization [Planned Parenthood] that has perfected that procedure that was meant to end my life.” The Texas Rally for Life, hosted by the anti-abortion lobbying organization Texas Alliance for Life, featured many prominent anti-abortion sup- porters, including Gov. Greg Abbott’s deputy outreach direc- tor Ben Taylor, abortion survi- vors and other elected officials. Carrying signs emblazoned with slogans such as “De- fund Planned Parenthood” or “I regret my abortion,” the crowd marched on the street from 18th Street and North Congress Avenue to the south steps of the Capitol. When the rally reached the Capitol, some pro-abortion rights pro- testors marched directly to- wards the anti-abortion sup- porters, carrying signs such as “Abortion On Demand & Without Apology,” but there were otherwise few visible pro-abortion rights activists at the rally. Pro-abortion rights activists marched at the Capitol the previous day. The rally comes at a time when the Supreme Court is slated to hear challenges to the requirement that abor- tion providers must qualify as “ambulatory surgical centers” and only employ doctors that perform abortions who have admitting privileges at a near- by hospital. “We want to at least make sure the place that a woman gets an abortion and that the person doing the abortion is as safe as can be,” said Sen. Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels), who is a doctor, before the Su- preme Court, referring to the recently passed Texas abortion law, House Bill 2. “Are they wanting to really scrap the safe- ty of a procedure for women?” Austin gynecologist Chris- tian Sebastian, who served on the local Planned Parenthood community board in 2013, has disputed the claim, stating that patients who develop compli- cations from abortion do so after they are home, not in the abortion clinic. Leah Brown, a spokesperson for Texas Alliance for Life, esti- mated between 3,000 to 5,000 people attended the rally, an increase from previous years. Madison, a supporter of Planned Parenthood who only gave her first name, said her experience as a 16-year-old seeking advice on a possible pregnancy shaped her views on abortion. “I think any woman should have the right to do whatever she wants to do with her body,” Madison, who works as a baris- ta at Starbucks, said. “I had a pregnancy scare, and I went to a pregnancy crisis center, and I was laughed at.” Gov. Greg Abbott said in a letter read to the crowd by Taylor that Texas is and should remain committed to ending abortion. “Our state stands at the forefront of the campaign to preserve life,” Abbott wrote. “House Bill 2 is being chal- lenged at the Supreme Court, but we are prayerful that the justices will agree with Texas that this law protecting women and their unborn babies is fully constitutional.” CITYAnti-abortion activists support tighter restrictionsMike McGraw | Daily Texan StaffMembers of Texas Rally for Life carry a banner near the Texas Capitol.

Wade anniversaryCITYBy Caleb Wong@caleber96By Forrest Milburn@forrestmilburnare high for both sides of the abortion issue, with a range of possible outcomes that could include increased regulations and clinic shutdowns around the country if the Texas ban is upheld. Since the Roe decision, Republican-dominated legis- latures have passed 1,074 anti- abortion laws restricting wom- en’s access to abortion clinics, with 288 passed since 2010. “Even though there’s been a series of attacks from legisla- tors who want to see an elimi- nation of abortion, it’s still happening,” Schimmer said. “Women still need abortions, they’re still getting abortions and there’s still a lot of en- ergy to make sure that hap- pens and that it is safe for the women who need it.” Abortion rights activists ar- gue they will continue to keep a united front against opponents even if the Supreme Court doesn’t vote in their favor. “Here we are, forty years later and we still, maybe now more than ever, must be to- gether,” Watson said. CLINTONcontinues from page 1It’s kind of cool to see the under- ground candidate, who 10 months ago was brushed off as a bump in the road, now beating the leading Democratic candidate. —Christopher Nickelson, Radio-television-film senior The United States Supreme Court is cur- rently considering the second iteration of the case Fisher v. University of Texas, with a decision expected by the end of June. This case centers upon whether or not af- firmative action violates the constitution. Commentators and court watchers suspect the justices will find a violation. Much ink has been spilled by many, in- cluding myself in the Texan, on why elimi- nating race-conscious admissions would be a travesty. But if the High Court rules as many expect it will, there will be another, nearly unanticipated, consequence: I will find myself, at long last, begrudgingly de- fending the Top 10 Percent Rule. The regional neighborhoods of Texas are still largely segregated by race. Accord- ingly, the rule, which grants automatic admission to the University for students in the top 7 percent of their high school class (as well as the top 10 percent for all other public colleges in the state), helps to ensure diversity on the 40 Acres. If af- firmative action is struck, this rule will be the primary policy that prevents the Uni- versity of Texas from becoming even more homogeneous. Experts from across the political and legal spectrum recognize the merit in en- suring diversity on college campuses. The controversy lies in how, exactly, to do so. The Top 10 Percent Rule was born out of a time when a Federal Appeals Court temporarily barred affirmative action at the University. Accordingly, if it is barred again, it would make sense for the rule to receive newfound attention. Despite the obvious benefits, does the rule actually hurt the University overall? Would there be a better way to ensure di- versity? For both of these queries, the an- swer appears to be a resounding yes. “Candidly, right now what is holding us back is the 10 percent rule,” said William McRaven, Chancellor of the University of Texas System, on Thursday before a state legislative panel. Sadly, for this university, it will hold us back even more if the Fisher case is de- cided the way it is expected. Under a law approved in 2009, the University can cap the number of auto-admits under the rule at three-quarters of the incoming class. However, the law would be invalidated if race-based admission is barred. The national ranking for the University hovers around 50, give or take a few spots, on a year-to-year basis. In comparison, the medical school is ranked about 25, the MBA program at 17 and law school at 15, to name a few. One of the primary differ- ences between the undergraduate and the graduate programs is that only one is man- dated by law to automatically admit the top 7 percent. Still, the graduate programs at the Uni- versity incorporate race-conscious admis- sion into their application processes. In fact, unencumbered by the Top 10 Percent Rule, affirmative action is arguably more aggressively used. If the Supreme Court holds that affirma- tive action violates the Constitution, diver- sity at many colleges across the country will surely suffer. The damage at the University, however, will not center on race. By forcing us to double down on the Top 10 Percent Rule, it is the University’s academic stand- ing that will suffer the most. Horwitz is a government senior from Houston. I grew up a few miles outside of Dallas, and as anyone in the South can attest, heat could make or break plans for the day. However, I had other concerns that were less natural. On many occasions, I had swim practices can- celed or playdates postponed because ozone levels were too high. Texas is among the five worst states for most air quality measures. That is unaccept- able. Only with statewide cooperation can we give Texas a literal breath of fresh air. In the American Lung Association’s 2015 State of the Air report, two Texas cit- ies once again made the cut for the top 10 most polluted cities. Houston is stuck in the same sixth place spot as previous years, but it has at least reduced its number of high ozone days. Dallas, in seventh, is only get- ting worse. Cities are uniquely placed in the battle to save the planet. More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. Texas itself has four of the 11 largest U.S. cities. As a result, Texas faces a significant share of the nation’s environmental problem. How- ever, the cities themselves vary in their im- pact. Austin has only had eight high ozone days compared to Dallas’s 48. Cities should push each other to share tools and programs that work. Historically, Austin has been a leader in sustainability. It has an earth-friendly en- ergy (and actual green energy) unparalleled in other Texas cities. Brandi Burton, senior policy adviser to Mayor Steve Adler, says that Austin had one of the largest elected delegations from the U.S. at the 2015 Paris climate talks. “In the last year, international, national and local dialogue about climate change be- came much more real,” Burton said. “Austin is leading in many ways and actively learning in others.” One such leading initiative is the net zero community climate plan, Austin’s initiative to have net zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This would be a historic and vital step to reducing harmful emissions in Austin, but it requires individual action above all else. “It’s not going to work unless the commu- nity owns that their actions add up to our lo- cal climate tally,” Burton said. “The city can do everything right and be as green as pos- sible, but if local business, if local residences, people in their daily lives [don’t pitch in], we can’t reach that net zero greenhouse gas emis- sions target.” Cities may be the frontline of this fight, but there also needs to be an effort at the state level. Texas House Bill 1961 would establish a fee for counties who exceed the National Am- bient Air Quality’s limit for ozone. The fees could then be used for the low-income vehi- cle repair programs to reduce their emissions. These sorts of small measures will make the difference in reducing emissions. We can all do more to improve our air, and after the hottest year in recorded history, now is the time to do it. City programs, individual behaviors and state policy must improve so that going outside means only checking the temperature, not the ozone. Hallas is a Plan II freshman from Allen. The 2016 election season has been noth- ing if not unpredictable. Donald Trump, better known for trying to prove Barack Obama was born in Kenya than for his political accomplishments, is leading the Republican field. While the personalities on the Democratic side might not be as di- visive, the poll numbers and demograph- ics are just as surprising. Bernie Sanders, once considered an after- thought in the race, leads Hillary Clinton in recent New Hampshire and Iowa polling. In order to help understand his popularity, one has to look at how the genders have sup- ported both candidates against expectations. When Sanders first announced, the ste- reotypical image of his support was the “Bernie bro.” Salon outlined this stereo- type in a startlingly condescending piece, which implied that Clinton’s main obstacle to the White House was the misogyny of young men who “don’t cotton well to the idea of women in power.” Many believe that these young men were the cause of Sanders’ rising numbers. A recent Rock the Vote poll refuted this hypothesis. The poll showed that millen- nial women support Sanders over Clinton by 20 percentage points, while young men prefer Sanders by only 4 percentage points. This poll not only refutes the idea that misogyny is the the main reason Clinton is not getting votes, it also calls into question the stereotype of young women perpetu- ated in this election cycle. Many assumed that women would vote for Hillary in droves, as the prospect of the first female president would be extremely appealing. But, it turns out that millennials are con- cerned about more than just gender issues. The Rock the Vote poll showed that none of the most pressing issues that concerned millenials involved gender. Issues like gun background checks, the environment and police brutality took precedence. Sanders is no slouch on gender issues, either. Joseph Flores, an international rela- tions senior who is prominently involved with UT Austin Students for Bernie Sand- ers, argues that Bernie sees women’s prob- lems as the nation’s problems. “I think that Bernie has proven him- self just as much a fighter for women’s rights and access to healthcare as Hillary has, but also displayed a willingness to go further,” Flores said. “Bernie understands that women’s issues are not simply ‘wom- en’s issues,’ but our nation’s issues, many of which disproportionately affect them.” Sanders’ appeal comes from the fact that he comes to conclusions based on the struggles of many Americans, rather than one specific group. This unconventional approach has invited women to break the expectation of gender-line voting. Bernie has shown that picking the next president is about something more complicated than stereotypes: policy and authenticity.

Ty Segall’s releases aren’t exactly monoto- nous, but Emotional Mugger is almost everything Ty Segall fans have come to expect from one of his projects — guitar riffs and boom- ing drums dominate each track, while his vocals, occasionally raspy and in- decipherable, appear to be an afterthought. This isn’t a bad thing at all — in fact, it has come to be expected after so many releases. What makes the album different, however, is its subtle tweaks in style, manipulating the record’s lo-fi production to help expose some new elements to his music. The first three tracks of Emotional Mugger don’t distinguish them- selves from each other, but the album’s fourth track, “Breakfast Eggs,” is ultimately where Segall starts to make changes for the better. Introduc- ing an extremely thick fuzz pedal, Segall’s guitar riffs seem to blend into the song, becoming more electronic sound rather than distinct guitars. From the fourth track on, Segall changes each song’s sound in a subtle and intriguing way. “Di- version” has both an odd mix of Segall’s vocals and synth-sounding guitars, and “Mandy Cream” has layer after layer of mu- sic, adding to its trippy effect. The only slip up in the entire album is “W.U.O.T.W.S.,” which features so much experi- mentation that the song is nearly impossible to follow. Even the most dedicated Ty Segall fans will be left shaking their heads at this song’s confusing lack of a distinct rhythm. Emotional Mugger can drag on a bit too long, but the 38-minute album surprises and impresses during the majority of its tracks, helping break the creative rut Segall has been in since Manipulator. Anyone who is not a fan of Ty Segall’s old albums will likely feel the same with Emotional Mugger, as Segall doesn’t change enough to reinvent him- self as an artist. However, followers of his discogra- phy will find something new to enjoy in the album, which could be Segall’s most prolific release in recent memory. “Storm” featuring a frustra- tion that grows in magni- tude, and “Static,” which wanders aimlessly, exposing bleak and dark emotions. For most of the album, emotions clash through in- struments and sampled vo- cals to create a natural piece of experimental art. Tracks to listen to: There are only four of them, so… just listen to them all. SEGALLcontinues from page 8ROCKcontinues from page 8latest album, E•MO•TION. The album, released in Au- gust, features ‘80s-inspired anthems like “Run Away With Me” and “I Really Like You,” two safe bets to get any crowd to sing along. Hoodie Allen Saturday, Feb. 20Emo’s New York City-based rapper Hoodie Allen has come a long way since re- leasing his EP All American in 2012. He released his debut full-length album, People Keep Talking, which included a collaboration with Ed Sheeran, in 2014 and dropped its follow-up, Happy Camper, on Friday. Expect him to bring his spirited, fast-paced work ethic front and center for a high-energy show at Emo’s.

CONCERTScontinues from page 8Courtesy ofPete HillCabaret Vol- taire’s discogra- phy varies in its quality, but never fails to experi- ment and try out new sounds. BOBERcontinues from page 8different materials in areas of fine arts, natural his- tory, science, technology, popular culture and mate- rial culture found within the UT campus. The artifacts she in- cludes can be well known, such as the Gutenberg Bi- ble, or lesser known, such as one of Bober’s favorite pieces — a 19th century wedding dress, photo- graphed unbuttoned so the interior is exposed. Inside, a tuft of the bride’s husband’s hair is stitched, so when the owner would close the dress, Bober said, a part of her hus- band would rest against her heart. “I thought that was very beautiful,” Bober said. “And it’s not something that people ordinarily would know unless they studied that collection.” Jennalie Travis Lyons, the production editor of “The Collections,” said her favorite artifact was a 120-pound rosebud me- teorite, a specimen more than four billion years old. Lyons has been working on “The Collections” for over five years, and said there are still many artifacts to be discovered. The team hopes to eventually cre- ate additional volumes of the book. “UT is a living, breath- ing entity,” Lyons said. “As far as we know, no other University has tried to undertake something this big.” Although the scope of “The Collections” is mas- sive, each page manages to capture the life, history and culture encapsulated in each relic. UT’s music librarian David Hunter, who was the first to write an essay for the book, over- saw the selections taken from the 300,000 objects in his department’s collec- tion, which include pho- tographs of vinyl, cassettes and recordings of graduate student recitals. “[‘The Collections’] cov- ers so many different fields — almost the entire diver- sity of campus,” Hunter said. “[Universities] do is- sue substantial catalogs of their artworks, but they don’t generally include all the insects, the minerals, gems and gavels.” Bober said the diversity of the artifacts is crucial for cross-disciplinary research. “The Collections” paves the way for further discoveries within the 40 Acres and be- yond. “I think it established the University as the cultural repository of the state of Texas and demonstrates that it’s an important col- lection to the world,” Bober said. The crowd at the Frank Erwin Center erupted Sat- urday after senior center Imani Boyette banked in a lengthy layup, draw- ing a foul early in the fourth quarter. The old-fashioned 3-point play put the No. 6 Long- horns in front by five points with nine minutes to play — less than half the amount of Texas’ largest lead of the game, 14. The No. 19 Sooners fought to within three points with 15.8 seconds left. Boyette countered by quickly flicking a pass to sophomore guard Brooke McCarty, who raced down the court and finished the layup, giving Texas an 81-76 lead with eight sec- onds left. The Longhorns would go on to win 83-76 after a pair of Boyette free throws. “[When] we get into stressful situations, they’re very calm and very confident,” head coach Kar- en Aston said of her team. “I never feel like they don’t think they can win.” The Sooners took an early 8-4 advantage. A 7-0 run capped by a McCarty corner three gave Texas its first lead of the game, 11-8. Oklahoma (13-5, 4-3 Big 12) quickly regained the lead after two layups from sopho- more center Vionise Pierre- Louis. Sophomore guard Ariel Atkins responded with a three for Texas to take the lead once again, but Pierre- Louis wasn’t done. She ended the quarter with four points in the fi- nal 42 seconds, includ- ing a short jumper that barely beat the buzzer and tied the game at 16. Pierre-Louis finished with a game-high 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting. Despite the big effort from her own center, Oklahoma head coach Sherri Coale said that Imani Boyette is arguably the best center in the nation. Aston agreed. “I think she is definitely the best center in college basketball,” Aston said. “The difference in Imani right now is that she will give up a bucket or we will give up a bucket and then she will go down and demand the ball and produce.” Boyette took over for Texas (18-1, 7-1 Big 12) in the fourth quarter. She scored seven of her 18 points in the final period. The senior also finished with 11 rebounds and seven blocks. Boyette said that she was disappointed in her defen- sive effort in spite of the number of Sooners’ shots she blocked. “It’s cool to get seven blocked shots, but it’s not cool when the person play- ing across from you is get- ting 20 points,” Boyette said. “That’s just not something I do, and I need to be solid for my teammates.” The Longhorns will stay in Austin this week to play Kansas (5-13, 0-7) at 7 p.m. Wednesday. A win would make Texas only the fifth program to record 1,000 all-time wins. The Conference Clash Pow- er Five Invitational this week- end was all about the SEC vs. the other “Power Five” confer- ences, but the Texas men’s track and field team made them- selves known. The Longhorns led the “Power Five” team with 25 points and finished second overall to LSU. The 4x400 relay team fin- ished with one of the top per- formances for the Longhorns, turning in a school-record 3:06.36 finish. The relay team, comprised of junior Chris Ir- vin, senior Zack Bilderback, junior Byron Robinson and ju- nior AJ Bailey, finished second on the track, but posted the fourth-best time in the nation this year. The previous school record was 3:06.56, set last year. Freshman Steffin McCarter made his collegiate debut with a second-place finish in the long jump, ending with 7.59 meters. Senior Ryan Crouser set a CrossPlex facility record with a 19.99-meter throw to win the shot put. Redshirt freshman Derek Fenton didn’t travel with the rest of the team, instead trav- eling west to the Cherry and Silver Invitational. He finished 11th in the shot put with a throw of 13.77 meters. The Longhorns will split up again next weekend, competing in the How- ie Ryan Invitational and Razorback Invitational. All eyes at the Weller In- door Tennis Center were focused on court three on Sunday morning. The battle between Texas and Ole Miss in the second day of the ITA Kickoff Week- end stood at three points apiece. The match between Texas freshman Harrison Scott and Ole Miss sophomore Gustav Hansson would decide the victor. Scott fell behind early, drop- ping the first set 4-6. But a 6-2 second set win by Scott forced a deciding third set — however, Scott couldn’t quite complete the comeback, losing the set 4-6, as the Longhorns walked off the court 0-2 in this weekend’s action. Texas struggled in its first match of the weekend against Florida. The Longhorns dropped the doubles point to start the day Saturday and nev- er recovered. Sophomore John Mee, junior George Gold- hoff and Scott each dropped their matches in straight sets to give Florida the 4-0 win, pushing the Longhorns to the consolation bracket. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, and we don’t have time to hang our heads,” head coach Michael Center said after the match. “I give Florida credit, they did a nice job.” The Longhorns came out with more fight Sunday against Ole Miss. Senior Mi- chael Riechmann and sopho- more Adrian Ortiz won the first doubles match of the day, but Texas dropped the other two doubles matches to begin the day in a 0-1 hole. The Longhorns fought back in singles play, winning three of the first five matches to fin- ish and forcing the contest to come down to the final match. Scott, however, had his serve broken first and never was able to recover, dropping the final set to seal the winless weekend. The Longhorns return to action Thursday against SMU. While this weekend ended tough, Center said there’s a lot they can take into that mid- week match. “I think these guys are learning the resiliency we need to have and I thought we defi- nitely improved since yester- day to today,” Center said after Sunday’s match. The Longhorns had No. 3 Kansas right where they want- ed it — Texas started off hot, sank eight of its first 12 shots and took a 35-30 lead into the half. The Jayhawks, who had dropped two of their last three games, awoke from their 20-minute slumber by shoot- ing 43.3 percent in the sec- ond half. Kansas handed the Longhorns a 76-67 loss Sat- urday afternoon in Lawrence, snapping Texas’s three-game winning streak. “It’s a combination: great coaching, great players, great atmosphere and it’s not easy,” head coach Shaka Smart said. “They had more energy in the second half than they did in the first and we had a little bit less.” The Longhorns began the game strong, riding the mo- mentum of their win over No. 6 West Virginia. Senior forward Connor Lammert drilled back- to-back 3-pointers as Texas took a 17-5 lead over six min- utes into the contest. Kansas responded with an 18-6 run to tie the game at 23; however, the Longhorns finished the half hitting five of their last nine shots to take a five-point lead going into the break. Smart said their aggressive- ness and energy helped them jump out to the early lead. “I think in games like this, you have to be the more ag- gressive team if you want any chance of winning,” Smart said. But the second half was all Jayhawks. After Texas pushed the lead to seven three minutes in the half, Kansas played like its No. 3 ranking indicates. The Jay- hawks hit 43.3 percent of their shots, including going 6-of-12 from beyond the arc, en route to a 30-10 run to take a 63-50 lead with under seven minutes to play. Meanwhile, Texas’ hot shooting cooled off. The Long- horns knocked down just two threes in the second half and couldn’t control the glass, al- lowing Kansas to grab 13 offen- sive rebounds and 19 second- chance points. Texas also found itself buried in foul trouble with Lammert and senior center Prince Ibeh playing with at least three fouls for most of the final minutes. Kansas senior forward Perry Ellis took full advantage, scor- ing 17 of his 26 points in the second half. Smart said trying to keep the rest of the Jayhawks off the scoreboard made it difficult to keep tabs on Ellis. “The guards are good so you have to give them attention and if you don’t they’ll turn the cor- ner and lay it up,” Smart said. “But when you do, they throw it back to [Ellis] and now he has some space and no matter how we guarded it, Kansas had an answer.” The Longhorns managed to cut the deficit to five with less than a minute to play, but the Jayhawks closed out the game with four free throws to seal the win. The loss overshadows Lam- mert’s career day from beyond the arc. He finished with 15 points on a career-high five 3-pointers, but fouled out in the game’s waning moments. Senior guard Javan Felix, junior guard Isaiah Taylor and fresh- man guard Eric Davis Jr. each finished in double-digits. Despite his strong offen- sive performance, Lammert wasn’t happy with how he played all-around. “I didn’t rebound well and gave up a lot of rebounds and got into foul trouble,” Lammert said. “The offense was there but I think I should have done a lot more to help the team win.” The Longhorns have yet to win in Lawrence since 2011, where the Jayhawks have just nine losses at home under head coach Bill Self. Texas now sits fifth in the Big 12 with a 4-3 conference record. The Longhorns return home this week to face TCU on Tuesday and Vanderbilt on Saturday. Texas will get a chance a chance to avenge the loss when Kansas visits Austin on Feb. 29. Lammert said they’ll be ready when they come. “We’ve obviously got to watch the tape, but it’s our last Big 12 game so we’re definitely going to get a lot better between then and now,” Lammert said. 6 SPTS6JACOB MARTELLA, SPORTS EDITOR | @texansportsMonday, January 25, 2016MEN’S BASKETBALL | TEXAS 67 - 76 NO. 3 KANSAS‘Phog’-y second half leads to road defeatBy Jacob Martella@ViewFromTheBoxMEN’S TENNISBy Tyler Horka@TexasTy95Longhorns fail to pick up win in weekend tourneyWOMEN’S BASKETBALL | NO. 19 OKLAHOMA 76 - 83 NO. 6 TEXASTexas staves off Oklahoma rally for 83-76 winBy Alana Kaufman@akauf810MEN’S TRACK AND FIELDTexas 4x400 relay breaks school record in AlabamaBy Leah Vann@Vanntastic_LeahSteffin McCarterFreshmanSIDELINENFLBRONCOS PATRIOTS CARDINALS PANTHERS NBAMAVERICKS ROCKETS “#SupermanvsBatman gonna be a live movie.” Caleb Bluiett@c_blu42TOP TWEETTODAY IN HISTORY1924First Winter Olympics Games open in Chamonix, France. Texas leads “Power Five” team to win in Alabama The head-to-head battle in the 60 meters continued this week between senior Morolake Akinosun and freshman Teahna Daniels in the Conference Clash Power Five Invitational in Alabama this weekend. Akinosun won the event, edging out Dan- iels by just three-tenths of a second, as the Long- horns led the “Power Five” team to a win over the SEC team. Texas fin- ished with 24 points — the most out of the 15 teams competing. The women’s 4x400 re- lay team of sophomore Ariel Jones, junior Chri- sann Gordon, Akinosun and senior Courtney Oko- lo closed the meet with a strong performance with a time of 3:34.36, setting a new CrossPlex facility record. Jones also finished second in the 60 meter hurdles, setting a new per- sonal record of 8.28 sec- onds, making her ninth in school history. The Longhorns also had several solid showings against professional and collegiate competitors in the Cherry and Silver In- vitational in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Senior Kaitlin Petrillose finished fourth overall and second among collegiate athletes with a vault of 4.30 meters. Redshirt fresh- man Ali Uhle finished close behind, vaulting her second personal record of the season at 4.15 me- ters. Redshirt freshman Lauryn Caldwell posted a personal record in the weight throw, and redshirt freshman N’Dia Warren- Jacques finished second in the shot put with a mark of 14.98 meters. —Leah VannSPORTS BRIEFLYWe’ve got a lot of work to do, and we don’t have time to hang our heads.

BOBER page 5Ten upcoming Austin concerts appeal to variety of music tastesTy Segall’s eighth solo album experiments with lo-fi soundThroughout his eight- year career, alt rocker Ty Segall has done everything on his own terms. Each of his releases takes on a new sound, experimenting with different instrumen- tation and composition. His latest project Emo- tional Mugger, released Friday, does exactly that, taking risks on almost every song. Since 2008, Ty Segall has contributed to over 40 albums, delving into solo projects as well as albums with Fuzz, Mikal Cronin and the Ty Segall Band. Some might ar- gue that Segall’s massive output indicates quantity over quality, but amongst his plethora of releases, there are several impres- sive records, including 2010’s Melted and 2014’s Manipulator. This re- cent effort provides an interesting twist on low- fidelity production to help create another fun Ty Segall project. To announce the al- bum, Ty Segall and his label, Drag City Records, mailed out press copies with no previous notice in early November. These exclusive copies on old blockbuster VHS tapes contained the full album along with a crumpled up note defining the al- bum’s title as “a psycho- analytic subject to subject exchange formed as a re- sponse to our hyper-dig- ital sexual landscape.” It’s difficult to tell how much Red Mecca Cabaret VoltaireAfter forming in Shef- field, England in 1973, Cabaret Voltaire quickly became a budding under- ground act. Though much of their work went unrec- ognized at the time, the group’s experimentation with sound processing helped create a sub-genre of performance art called industrial rock. Throughout their ca- reer, the group fluctuated between successful experi- ments and unlistenable failures, but the group’s magnum opus Red Mecca is void of any shortcom- ings. The inspiration for the album comes from the group’s 1979 U.S. tour, when lead singer Stephen Mallinder became fasci- nated in Televangelists like Eugene Scott. Red Mecca compares this to the rise of political Islam and draws inspiration from the escalating issues in Afghanistan and the Iran hostage crisis. The album is extremely dense, but lacks no dull moments. Each song is ee- rie and complex, allowing the listener to interpret a track from their own point of view. Mallinder’s irri- tated tone combined with each song’s lack of defini- tion creates a storm of emo- tions. From beat machines to organs and programmed sounds, Red Mecca high- lights the future of experi- mental music. Tracks to listen to: “Landslide,” “Red Mask,” “Black Mask” Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven Godspeed You! Black EmperorGodspeed You! Black Emperor quickly built a reputation after the release of their first album, F# A# 8, in 1997 as an up-and- coming post-rock group. Three years later, they re- leased what is widely con- sidered their best album, Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.

To most, encountering the collection would be disturbing or grotesque, but for UT alumna and art curator Andree Bober, finding these objects is like striking gold. For the past decade, Bober ran UT’s Land- marks public art program by day and hunted for ar- tistic treasures by night. In her book “The Collec- tions,” released last week, Bober and a team of over 300 specialists detail 80 art collections across campus, ranging from the origi- nal Ulysses manuscript to biological specimens. Each page includes a photograph of the ar- tifact, as well as a few paragraphs describing its cultural significance. After scouring through 170 million objects with- in the UT campus, Bober said this is the most com- prehensive account of the University’s holdings in existence. “We finally have a road map for navigating UT’s collections,” Bober said. As an undergraduate, Bober was aware UT’s museums and archives were stocked with culturally significant artifacts, but said she never fully ap- preciated the extent of its collection. It was only when she was hired to run Landmarks in 2001 that Bober began her ex- cavations, regarding it as her duty to understand the objects contained be- hind UT’s closed doors in order to help stu- dents fully utilize the University’s resources. “The Collections” weighs in at over 10 pounds and includes 750 pages detailing objects selected for their inherent origi- nal value.
