If you are a per- son in this state looking for opportunity … then I am your candidate for governor of this great state. Now is the time to create that economy and the kind of jobs we need for tomorrow that keep Texas mov- ing forward. Now is the time for a governor in Austin who will be a voice for all hardworking Texans. Greg Abbott (R) Wendy Davis (D) By Nicole Cobler and Madlin Mekelburg | Photos by Shelby Tauber and Lauren Ussery Abbott, Davis to face off for governor’s seat FORT WORTH AND HOUSTON — Ater both candidates secured predictable victories over relatively unknown primary opponents, Democrat Wendy Davis used her primary night speech to highlight the diferences between herself and Re- publican Greg Abbott, while Abbott focused his attention on issues that Davis has made a centerpiece of her campaign. Davis led Democratic opponent Ray Madrigal with 79 per- cent of the vote at press time, while Abbott had secured more than 90 percent of the vote over three Republican challengers. “Now that the primaries are over, it’s time that we turn our eyes towards the general election,” said Abbott, who led Davis by 11 points in the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll, at a watch party in San Antonio. “What direction will be the best direction for the future of the state of Texas?” Abbott advocated for greater cultural inclusiveness, as his campaign continues to try and prevent Davis from establish- ing a cross-cultural coalition of women and minority voters. “he blending of cultures in the Lone Star State works,” Ab- bott said. “We are all people, we are all Texans. It doesn’t mat- ter what your race is, it doesn’t matter what your background is, what your age is, what your ZIP code is; If you are a person in this state looking for opportunity, for a way to get ahead, or elevate or advance yourself, then I am your candidate for governor of this great state.” Davis alluded to her support for abortion rights, which she has rarely discussed on the campaign trail since her 11-hour ilibuster against restrictive abortion legislation vaulted her to national prominence last summer. “I will be a governor that ights for all freedoms, not just some freedoms for some people,” Davis said at a watch par- ty in Fort Worth. “[Abbott] wants to dictate for all women, including victims of rape and incest, the decisions they should make.” Abbott, who has consistently used Davis’ support for ELECTION page 3 Van de Putte delineates goals following primary SAN ANTONIO — Dem- ocratic Lieutenant Governor Candidate Leticia Van de Putte talked about her goals to reform educational policy, veteran services and other issues at a primary election party at Mi Tierra Café and Panaderia in San Antonio Tuesday night. Van De Putte said her mission was to en- sure a brighter future for families, especially Texas women and veterans, by fo- cusing on issues such as road repair and transportation re- form, water rights, education and increasing jobs. Van de Putte ran uncontested for the Democratic lieutenant gover- nor seat alongside Sen. Wen- dy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who is running for Texas governor. —Natalie Sullivan State Sen.

Lt. governor primary leads to runoff Ethan Oblak and Shweta Gulati / Daily Texan Staff By Justin Atkinson Alyssa Mahoney, Leila Ruiz & Alex Wilts @TheDailyTexan HOUSTON — Ater a close and hard-fought primary elec- tion, state Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, took an early lead over incumbent David Dewhurst in the race for the Republican candidate for lieu- tenant governor. If both fail to cross the 50 percent threshold needed to win the candidacy Tuesday night, the run-of election will be held May 27. In a speech early in the night, Dewhurst, who has served as lieutenant gover- nor for 11 years, repeatedly referenced his conservative voting record and said he was optimistic about the run-of election. “his race is going into overtime, and we’re going to win it,” Dewhurst said. “We’re starting over again in a brand- new election.” Patrick, who at press time had roughly 42 percent of the vote to Dewhurst’s approxi- mately 28 percent, also attrib- uted his success to his conser- vative positions. “he people stood with me because we were right on the issues: secure the border, lower their property taxes, improve our education system … [and] rule as conservatives,” Patrick said. “We will show the rest of the country what it means to be conservative.” Both Patrick and Dewhurst mentioned is- sues in their irst election- night remarks. immigration “I want to secure our south- ern border,” Dewhurst said. “I’ve been working on it for seven years, and I want to shut it down once and for all.” Sylvia Withrow, a Pat- rick supporter from Clear LT.

TOMORROW’S WEATHER High 62 Low 38 ACHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! BEER continues from page 1 sales at athletics events — saw a 35 percent decrease in the number of game day incidents alcohol-related ater authorizing the sale of alcohol at games, according to West Virginia University Police statistics. Posey said UTPD is not anticipating any changes in the number of alcohol-related cases on game days. “We’re not expecting real- ly anything; we’re just going to watch to see what hap- pens,” Posey said. “We are in observation mode, just like athletics is.” Excessive consumption of alcohol prior to fans’ arrival to the games is oten a con- cern, according to Posey. “We know that they pre- party when there’s no alco- hol [sold at games], and now they’ll be drinking at the gate,” Posey said. “So we’ll be very diligent.” Finance senior Sunny Richard Edwards enters the Omni Hotel in downtown Austin on Tuesday afternoon. Fabian Fernandez / Daily Texan Staff Das, a former student gov- ernment representative who helped spearhead student eforts to implement beer sales at sporting events, said he thinks the beer sales will result in a safer, more enjoy- able experience for students. “Many people when they do get to the games still have a buzz going, but, by half- time, that buzz kind of goes away, and most students who do leave to continue drinking just never come back,” Das said. “By having beer there, they at least have incentive to stay at the game and keep their spirits high.” Das said he believes the initiative could reduce the amount of drinking that games before happens and the amount of alcohol smuggled into sporting events. “Because there isn’t regulated beer sold at football games, people take other methods to bring alcohol in,” Das said. “And if there’s beer there, they won’t drink as much because they know once they get to the game they can have that one or two beers during haltime rather than chugging one or two beers before heading to the game.” Better clinic.

During the study, re- searchers deined adversity to include inancial diicul- ties, stress, having parents with mental illnesses and the death of a parent be- fore the age of 16. Um- berson said the quality of social relationships dur- ing childhood factors into adult health. “Relationships, just like education income, and aren’t equally distributed in the population,” Umber- son said. “Some groups are more disadvantaged than others. Black men are es- pecially disadvantaged in terms of their relationships in adulthood.” University of Ohio associ- ate professor Kristi Williams, who worked on the study while a student at UT, said she believes the government needs to focus on improv- ing the conditions black men face as children in order to improve their adult lives. “Interventions that focus only on proximal causes, such as relationship skills, are likely to be inefective if they don’t address the more fundamental causes linked to poverty and cumulative disadvantage over the life course,” Williams said. Sociology graduate stu- dent Mieke homeer, who worked with Umberson on the study, said improving employment of parents and improving mental health care would be helpful.

Mengwen Cao Daily Texan Staff Hollywood ilms inspire female student archers NEWS Wednesday, March 5, 2014 CLUB SPORTS W&N 3 By Natalie Sullivan @natsullivan94 Watching Jennifer Law- rence shoot a bow and ar- row in “he Hunger Games” inspired management in- formation systems senior Vaishnavi Narayanan to pursue archery. “I always wanted to do archery, especially ater see- ing ‘he Hunger Games’ and ‘Brave,’” Narayanan said. “When I saw [Katniss] on screen, it was like, ‘Hey, I could do that.’” Narayanan is one of a growing number of girls who have become mem- bers of the University’s archery club, which was previously dominated by male members. Accord- ing to Hannah DeCiutiis, and journalism junior club president, the club has seen an increase in the number of members, par- ticularly girls, over the past few years. DeCiutiis said she attri- butes this growth partly to the increase in movies fea- turing female archers. “The influx of new ar- chers due to the Olympics ‘The Hun- last summer, ‘The Hob- ger Games,’ bit,’ ‘The Aveng- ‘Brave,’ ers’ and ‘Arrow,’ has been overwhelming,” DeCiutiis said. “When I joined, the club was a bit of a boys’ club, and it was a lot of students. engineering Lately, we have been see- ing a larger number of girls who show up at the begin- ning of the semester and a wider range of students in other majors.” Nikki Seymour, geological sciences graduate student and club vice president, said the club’s goal is not only to attract new members but also to keep them involved in the club. “I that think important reten- tion of our new members is more than their initial interest in the club,” Seymour said. “Hol- lywood won’t keep mak- ing archery movies, but, if we can retain and cultivate an interest in the girls that come out to the range now, they can spread the word and keep girls involved in archery.” Seymour said the club’s also increase member tight-knit helps retention rates. nature “We provide new archers with all the equipment they need to start shooting imme- diately, which reduces the cost of entry,” Seymour said “Our veteran members are welcom- ing, so there is a support net- work and community in place to help build a sense of en- gagement and involvement for new members.” Narayanan said seeing more girls participating in archery encouraged her to keep coming to practices. “This year especially, I think there were a lot more girls, which was good because it encour- aged me to continue,” Na- rayanan said. “When I first came in, I saw a lot of guys, so having that group there reassured of girls me that I wasn’t the odd one out.” ELECTION continues from page 1 abortion rights against her, did not reference the issue in his speech. he only other speciic issue Davis directly men- tioned during her ive- minute speech was public education funding. “As governor, I will ight to give our kids a 21st-century education,” Davis said. “hen there’s Greg Abbott — he’s defending those cuts: cuts that laid of teachers and forced our kids into over- crowded classrooms.” Abbott, however, focused even more attention on edu- cation than Davis did. “As governor, I will never forget that the pathway to a brighter future oten starts at the schoolhouse door, and I will make education a top priority,” Abbott said. “We know that parents and teach- ers at schools know far better how to educate our children than a bunch of bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. … My goal is to make education in Texas ranked number one in America.” Abbott, unlike Davis, also discussed the high cost of college education. “We must make higher ed- ucation more afordable and accessible to students across the state,” Abbott said. Attendees at both rallies expressed optimism for their respective candidates’ chanc- es in the general election. “[Abbott] is a straight shooter, and his compass always points north,” Army Lt. Col. David Freel said at Abbott’s event. “I think he has a better than ight- ing chance to win in the general election.” Democratic state repre- sentative Chris Turner said Davis has an edge that will attract voters. “It will be a competitive general election, but I think [Davis] has an excellent chance to win in November because she is a diferent kind of candidate who is go- ing to run a great campaign, and Texans are going to have a clear choice,” Turner said.

The res- olution comes after graduate student rep- resentation was left out of the 2015-2017 tuition working group. That group’s rec- ommendations included increasing out-of- state undergraduate tuition by 3.6 percent while maintaining tuition rates for in-state undergraduates and all graduate and pro- fessional students. The recommendations were quickly stamped by President William Powers Jr. and sent off to the UT System for The lack of inclusion of graduate students in the tuition discussion sets an unfortunate precedent, and GSA was right to draw atten- tion to it. consideration, unnecessarily leaving out two segments of the UT community: grad- uate students and faculty. That GSA is not upset over the outcome, as the committee recommended not to increase any graduate tuition rates, is no matter. The lack of in- clusion of graduate students in the tuition discussion sets an unfortunate precedent, and GSA was right to draw attention to it. Senate of College Councils President An- drew Clark was one of the three members on the committee, which included Student Government President Horacio Villarreal and finance and government senior Mi- chelle Moon. The committee stands as the temporary replacement for the Tuition Pol- icy Advisory Committee, known as TPAC. Clark told the Texan in January that the UT System’s instructions for the commit- tee came in so late that the full commit- tee could not form and the slimmed-down working group was tasked with making the recommendations without the GSA or in- put from faculty members. “TPAC has always been a holistic process with a lot of data collection, information gathering and open forums to voice their opinions on tuition,” Clark told the Texan in January. “Given that we were under time constraints, we did not feel like we had the ability to do a full-scale TPAC like we did in years past.” Two years ago, when tuition rates were last set, TPAC stood in full force with ive faculty members and four student members, including the GSA president at the time. TPAC was irst introduced in 2003 in an efort to include student voices in the debate over tuition. By leaving out GSA this year, 13,000 graduate students had no say in the matter. Granted, only 507 graduate students voted in GSA executive alliance election in late February, indicating only a fraction of graduate views are even reaching GSA. Now, because the System dragged its feet in providing instruction for the committee, the group’s recommendations for the next two years will stand, hastily considered and without any input from a group that con- stitutes more than one-ith of the student body. With an issue as important as setting tuition, no committee should be rushed into Graduate students 13,000 507 of which voted in GSA elections Graduate student tuition rates $ In-state students pay between $5000 and $7000 per semester Out-of-state students pay between $10,000 and $13,000 per semester $ Professsional student tuition rates $ In-state students pay between $7,900 and $1300 per semester Out-of-state students pay between $18,000 and $23,500 per semester $ a decision, no graduate students should feel silenced and no faculty advice should be by- passed. he System did no one any favors with the way they handled these recommen- dations, and it should recognize its mistake long before the 2018-2020 committee takes shape and honor GSA’s request for more graduate student involvement. HORNS UP: LONGHORNS CONTRIBUTE ELEVEN FILMS TO SXSW COLUMN Eleven film projects by UT students, faculty and alumni will be featured at this year’s South By South- west Film Conference and Music Festival, a notable achievement considering the high number of sub- missions that the festival received. According to The Daily Texan, there were 5,716 film submissions for the 133 feature film and 110 short film spots this year — making admission into the 2014 festival even more competitive than last year. Although interest in the film component of SXSW is often more industry-based than fan-based, the exposure can help students with future employment opportunities or gain their projects prestige. COLUMN CNS town halls help increase student inclusivity on campus By Francisco Dominguez Daily Texan Columnist @francisco_dom2 Beyonce must have been thinking of the 20 million college students’ freshman experi- ence when she titled her song “Sweet Dreams (Beautiful Nightmare),” since it’s safe to call that memorable irst year a giant oxymoron — in which we somehow experience the most ex- alting of highs and the most humbling of lows at the same time. his toggling of emotions can seriously impact academics, and faculty are inally taking action. Sacha Kopp, College of Natural Sciences associate dean, is on a mis- sion to ind out why students who were at the top of their class in high school are failing once they arrive on campus. On Feb. 26, Kopp hosted more than 60 CNS students and faculty at a Town Hall event where students shared both their toughest and most glorifying experiences at the University, depicting what challenges they faced and how they succeeded. his Town Hall event was the second-to-last installation in a series held by Kopp this semester to gather student input. Kopp insists that a uniied freshman experi- ence is becoming increasingly pivotal for col- legiate success because more people are gradu- ating from CNS than ever before and, as his introductory graph showed, at a much higher rate than students in the rest of the colleges and schools at the University. In response to Kopp’s four main concerns that he voiced at the Town Hall — college readiness, inding role models, feeling alone and family or cultural expectations — the wide spectrum of students in attendance recounted their personal struggles, struggles I, as a irst- generation Hispanic male, can relate to . Oten, as biology senior Ronnie Shade pointed out, minority students are burdened by acute self-awareness. “I constantly have to look at myself in someone else’s lens,” Shade Even though we can’t identify with other students physically or idealistically, we can empathize and relate with the effects of our differences. said. “Am I being eloquent enough? Does this person understand me? here’s always a pres- sure to be at a certain standard because if not, it makes the rest of us look bad. And I use this as motivation.” Shade alluded to a key element of college life — actually, life in general: identity. He, along with others who spoke out that evening with equally touching stories, revisited the topic of identity as one of the main obstacles that mi- nority students face — and for good reason. According to the UT’s Oice of Informa- tion Management and Analysis, black students constituted a mere 4 percent of the student body in 2011, despite the fact that African- Americans make up more than 12 percent of the total Texas population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Hispanics of “any com- bination” were enrolled at rates less than half that of the state’s: 17 percent compared to 38 percent, respectively. Both Shade and I are pursuing careers in medicine; our two demographics make up about 30 percent of the national population yet account for less than 6 percent of total physi- cians. Given the University’s history as well as the underrepresentation of minorities in scien- tiic disciplines, it would serve administrators well to investigate how this disparity afects student’s academically, socially and emotion- ally. By sharing their experiences, they subse- quently shared their innermost doubts, wor- ries and fears that UT has brought them. he impact on the audience’s mood by talking about our struggles, in what felt like a large group therapy session, certainly was visceral, a transformation from frustration to relief. In efect, the Town Hall helped the students in attendance become supremely aware of the trials other students are facing and how simi- lar they are to their own. Town Hall events increase understanding and, in turn, inclusivity. Now, even though we can’t identify with other students physi- cally or idealistically, we can empathize and relate with the efects of our diferences. It was funny to hear an echoing in testimoni- als from an event that focused on diversity. Practically every angle was hit, and yet the struggles sounded so similar. Perhaps diver- sity being an issue is a facade, and, rather, we should recognize our universality. Town Hall meetings, and gatherings of the sort, help us arrive at this conclusion. With that, my quest continues: to ind just one other Puerto-Rican student at the Uni- versity level. Dominguez is a biology junior from San An- tonio. Professor’s research on sex unscientiic, wrong for UT By David Davis Daily Texan Columnist @daveedalon Monday, UT’s sociology department released a statement completely disasso- ciating itself from the viewpoints of asso- ciate sociology professor Mark Regnerus. Regnerus first rose to prominence in 2012 as the author of a study that claimed that children of gay parents fared worse than those of straight parents, and, two days a week, he still teaches students in his “Intro to the Study of Society” class. This is despite the fact that the depart- ment’s statement explained the American Sociological Association had debunked Regnerus’ research as “fundamentally flawed.” Two weeks ago, the College of Liberal Arts similarly released a state- ment distancing the school from Regn- erus. These are smart PR moves on the part of the University, but the skepticism over Regnerus’ studies should be shared by students, given that Regnerus contin- ues to rely on some dangerously outdated assumptions about gender, sex and rela- tionships in his research and potentially in his teaching. Regnerus’ academic resume is made up of one sexist, discriminatory work af- ter another. The latest example: a study by Regnerus that details the reasons for the supposed “devaluation” of sex, for which he blames women making them- selves more available to men. The Austin Institute, a conservative think tank where Regnerus is a senior research fellow, must have believed that his findings, which are lightly based in science, would be easier to understand in the form of a cartoon ani- mation called “The Economics of Sex.” That animation, which as of this writ- ing has been viewed more than 410,000 times, quite literally draws a picture of why the market price of sex has become substantially cheaper than it was before the advent of the birth control pill. Apart from the heteronormativity, objectifi- cation of women’s sexuality and overall regressive view of sexual relationships apparent in the video, all of which are problematic on their own, the animation also puts forth the idea that marriage is the most legitimate form of commitment and the only form that validates sexual “The Economics of Sex” fails to realize that people can have loving, committed relationships without being legally married, in the same way it fails to recog- nize adult love as more than an economic exchange. activity. In Texas, where progressive so- cial change faces great challenges, it is dangerous to advocate an idea that could reverse the sexual liberation of women in a culture that promotes social conserva- tivism. In addition, the video portrays the high divorce rate and the average later age of marriage in America as indicators of se- rious social problems, without explaining why the decline in traditional marriage ar- rangements is a real social issue. Instead, it implies that the movement away from the husband and wife model is an actual prob- lem instead of simply a move away from limiting social values. Regnerus’ research does acknowledge the reality that people have always engaged in premarital sex; however, he believes that people used to have sex just to find a mate. “I simply mean that the majority of paired sexual activity among unmarried persons was conducted in and during the search for a mate, that is, someone to marry,” Regnerus said in the paper that provided the basis for the animation. The research does not take into account the nu- merous reasons people cannot or choose not to marry before having sex, which is why its placement under the category of social science is dubious. For various reasons, more than 6 million couples in the United States live together without being married. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report last year stating that a third of these couples continue their cohabitation with- out getting married or breaking up. It is no surprise that Regnerus, who believes same-sex parents are not competent, does not bother to acknowledge same-sex love. In 2012, the Census Bureau estimated there are more than 600,000 unmarried same-sex households. While same-sex couples may choose not to marry for the same reasons as opposite-sex couples, for many, there are legal barriers to doing so in all but 17 states and the District of Co- lumbia. In so many ways, “The Economics of Sex” fails to realize that people can have loving, committed relationships without being legally married, in the same way it fails to recognize adult love as more than an economic exchange. If the ideal of sex after marriage is predicated on love, two people who are in love should be able to engage in socially acceptable sexual activ- ity. But “The Economics of Sex” has a sub- liminal subjective message meant to be understood: “Women, close your legs until there is at least the prospect of marriage (to a man).” The video, consequently, is far from being the result of objective research. The College of Liberal Arts and the soci- ology department made a wise decision to disassociate themselves from statements made by Regnerus, and the students in his classes would do well to question the validity of his statements as well. Making marriage and the security of a man priori- ties for women in today’s society does not align with the University’s goals of chang- ing the world.

Glory, wealth and fame: hese are some of the rewards that drive athletes in the realm of professional sports and act as heavy inluences on the culture and motivations of collegiate athletics. For a select group of var- sity athletes, though, these things are virtually inac- cessible. hey are walk-on athletes, the unsung heroes of every college campus. Be- cause opportunities for ath- letic prestige are a rarity for them, these players must pri- marily focus on earning play- ing time and, if they’re lucky, a scholarship. While the “no guts, no glory” adage is of- ten tossed around in sports, glory isn’t the primary moti- vation for walk-on athletes. he most iconic portrayal of a walk-on comes from the 1993 ilm “Rudy,” which tells the story of a boy fulilling his dream of playing for the Notre Dame football team as a walk-on.

Watt, the 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, walked on to the Wisconsin football team ater previous college troubles and a stint as a pizza boy. Green Bay Packers teammates Clay Mat- thews and Jordy Nelson, who walked on at the University of Southern California and Kansas State, respectively, are further proof that even today, walk-on athletes can be suc- cessful at the professional level. But, outside of a few excep- tions, most walk-ons rarely touch the ield.

Coaches of most major sports on campus oten lead their respective teams for decades at a time, and, until last year, the track and ield program was no exception. So, it came as a surprise that beginning in 2014 — despite the past success of the program — the men’s and women’s track and ield teams merged into one team with a single head coach leading the group. Fortu- nately, the Longhorns had a well-qualiied coach in Mario Sategna waiting in the wings. With the men currently ranked 17th in the country, and the ith-ranked women fresh of a victory at last weekend’s indoor Big 12 Championships, the team hasn’t missed a beat. Sategna, a former na- tional champion decathlete, was one of the top assistant coaches in the country with the Longhorns over the past 10 years. Seven Big 12 Championships were won during his tenure as an as- sistant coach. But even the most skilled coach could not handle such a major change on his own. Luckily for Sategna, he didn’t have to. “We were very fortunate Wade Payne / Associated Press J.J.

VALPARAISO Johnson leads UT past Valparaiso By Evan Berkowitz @Evan_Berkowitz he plan was for sopho- more let ielder Ben John- son to hit eighth, putting speed at the bottom of the order. But head coach Augie Garrido accidentally turned in the wrong lineup card, one that had Johnson in the six hole. “I illed out two lineups be- fore the game,” Garrido said. “I didn’t realize I turned in the wrong card until I looked at the scoreboard.” he mistake ended up be- ing a blessing in disguise as Johnson had a big two-out, two-run single in the irst to break open the game — a spot he wouldn’t have been in had Garrido turned in the right lineup card. “I thought I was hitting eighth,” Johnson said. “But I came out and saw I was hit- ting sixth. I got a good pitch to hit and made the most of it.” Led by Johnson, the No. 10 Longhorns beat Valparaiso 7-1 in the irst matchup be- tween the schools Tuesday night in front of a small, chilly crowd at UFCU Disch- Falk ield. Johnson accounted for four of Texas’ seven runs, inishing his night with two hits, two RBIs, two runs, one walk and one stolen base. It didn’t take the Long- horns long to get on the board against a Valparaiso team (4-6) that entered the day with a 6.57 ERA. Af- ter a walk and a ielder’s choice, sophomore shortstop C.J Hinojosa punched an Texas outielder Ben Johnson watches a pitch pass by him during the Longhorns’ 7-1 win over Valparaiso on Tuesday night. Johnson inished the game 2-for-3 at the plate with two RBIs, two runs scored and one stolen base. Zoe Davis / Daily Texan Staff outside pitch from Dalton Lundeen (0-1) to the right to put runners on the corner and one out — a perfect situation for Augie-ball. he cleanup hitter, fresh- man irst baseman Kacy Cle- mens, laid down the safety squeeze to score senior cen- ter ielder Mark Payton for the irst run. A few batters later, Johnson pulled one through the let side of the inield to give Texas an early 3-0 advantage. “he three runs loosened everyone up,” Garrido said. he Texas ofense wasn’t inished ater that, scoring four more runs by the end of the ith. he three irst inning runs would have been enough for the collection of seven Texas pitchers, who combined to allow just one run on four hits. Freshman pitcher Blake Goins (1-0), a 12th-round pick of the Los Angeles Angels out of high school, started things for the Long- horns on the hill, going three scoreless innings and allowing just one hit. Fresh- man reliever Josh Sawyer I illed out two lineups before the game. I didn’t realize I turned in the wrong card until I looked at the scoreboard. —Augie Garrido, Head coach allowed the lone Valparaiso run in his one inning, a product of two walks and wild pitches, but he left the bases loaded to avoid fur- ther damage and sustain a 3-1 advantage. In addition to Johnson’s junior second strong day, baseman Brooks Marlow did what leadof hitters should do: reach base. In ive trips to the plate, he reached four times. he Longhorns (10-3) have now won ive in a row and nine of their last 11. “We have all the con- the world,” in idence Johnson said.

Winless in conference TCU still difcult test By Stefan Scraield @stefanscraield TCU @ Texas Texas to Fort traveled Worth a month ago to take on a struggling TCU team that had lost each of its irst eight Big 12 games. What many expected to be an easy win for the Longhorns wound up being a back-and- forth contest, with Texas ek- ing out a close victory. the later, Horned Frogs come to Austin under very similar circumstances. TCU is still winless in conference play, having now lost 16 straight league opponents. against last month’s Nonetheless, contest was proof that the desperate Horned Frogs can’t be taken lightly. Four weeks “Any team can beat you any given night,” junior forward Jonathan Holmes said. “We have to bring our A-game be- cause they’re going to come in here needing a win, and that’s what we have to expect.” TCU’s Big 12 tribulations are likely a testament to the strength of the conference more than the team’s inad- equacies. Head coach Trent Johnson’s team was 10-3 against non-conference op- ponents but fell victim to the Day: Wednesday Time: 7 p.m. On air: LHN challenge of playing in the nation’s toughest league. “People look at TCU like they’re not a good team just because they haven’t won a game in conference,” Holmes said. “But those people forget how good the Big 12 really is.” For Texas, the inal two games of the season are crucial. Currently fourth in the Big 12 standings, the Longhorns have an opportu- nity to move up to second or third if they can defeat TCU and Texas Tech, who sit last and second to last in the conference, respectively. he diference between inishing third and fourth in the league is huge, consid- ering Kansas is clearly a cut above the rest of the Big 12. If Texas can move into sec- ond or third, they wouldn’t have to play Kansas until the Big 12 championship game. If they inish fourth, though, they would meet Kansas in the semiinals. 6 SIDELINE NBA SPURS CAVALIERS HEAT ROCKETS (1) FLORIDA S. CAROLINA (16) IOWA ST.

SPORTS BRIEFLY Ian Kinsler hopes Rangers go 0-162 LAKELAND, Fla. — Ian Kinsler was expecting this kind of reaction, even if he didn’t agree with the way his comments were portrayed. Kinsler, who was trad- ed from Texas to the De- troit Tigers, said Tuesday that some critical state- ments attributed to him in an ESPN story were taken out of context. Kin- sler was quoted as calling Rangers general manager Jon Daniels a “sleazeball.” “I’m not happy about it. I think that the story was written for drama and taken a little out of context,” the Tigers’ new second baseman said. “I understand there were some things directed at the GM, but, as far as my teammates and the fans, there’s nothing negative to say about that, and I think the quotes taken about the general manager were tak- en a little out of context.” In the ESPN story, Kin- sler blamed Daniels for the departure of Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan. “Daniels is a sleazeball,” Kinsler was quoted as say- ing. “He got in good with the owners and straight pushed Ryan out.” Kinsler seemed sur- prised that comment in particular had gotten so much attention. “hat’s a matter of tell- ing a joke,” he said. —Associated Press COMICS Wednesday, March 5, 2014* 7 COMICS 7 MORE BRANDS THAN SXSW BANDS.

Saucedo and Oliver, both part of UT’s en- semble Dance Repertory heatre, will pre- miere their dance pieces — “White Noise (RGB)” and “he Great Green Greazy Lim- popo River,” respectively — at Dance Reper- tory heatre’s annual “Kinesthetic Impera- tive” showcase this hursday. While one dance piece explores the inter- relationship of memories and experiences as- sociated with aging and growing up, the other is an exploration of color and abstraction. Saucedo, a dance senior specializing in bal- let and contemporary dance, initially began her studies at UT switching back and forth between English and psychology but inally decided to pursue dance full-time in her sophomore year. “I kind of lost myself without dance,” Saucedo said. “I didn’t have a way of under- standing myself, and, as time went on, I real- ized I want to pursue dance professionally.” It was in her sophomore year that Sauce- do performed her irst concert dance piece, “Ripe,” at UT. She had recently lost a fam- ily member and was going through a highly emotional period in her life. “I had a really diicult rehearsal process,” Saucedo said. “Because Charles Anderson, the choreographer, was asking me to strip away any sort of presentational dance move- ments and expressions, things we are taught to do in commercial and competitive dance. I’d been raised in the competition dance world, where we’re taught to show of all our tricks all at once to impress an audience.” Saucedo grew up training primarily in jazz, tap, ballet and contemporary dance. Oliver, a dance and advertising junior, learned a vari- ety of other dance styles such as lyrical, mod- ern, hip hop and African fusion. “I just have always known that I wanted to dance,” Oliver said. “Anytime I didn’t dance for even a short amount of time, I felt like I was having withdrawal symptoms. Dance was always very fulilling for me, and I knew that it would always be a part of me in some way.” Oliver believes in challenging the norms as a performer and as a choreographer. “I create expectations for myself to do things that have never been done before,” Her piece, “White Noise (RGB),” is a collaborative dance piece. Hope Bennett, FILM CAMPUS Film hall of fame gains two prominent alumni By Alexandra Dubinsky @DailyTexanArts TEXAS FILM AWARDS AFTER-PARTY While the Oscars took place last Sunday night, the awards season is still not over — at least not for Texas. he Austin Film Society, a non-proit ilm organiza- tion, will host its 14th annual Texas Film Awards on March 7 by inducting four honorees and one ilm into the Texas Film Hall of Fame. Sponsored by the Austin Chronicle, South by Southwest and Texas Monthly, the Texas Film Awards will celebrate this year’s most distinguished ac- tors, ilmmakers and artists. In addition to hosting the awards at the Austin Studios on East 51st Street, AFS will hold an of- icial Texas-themed ater-party at the same location, showcas- ing local music and food. Rebecca Campbell, execu- tive director of AFS, said the society will honor many Te xans and Texas-related ilms. “[he awards] are a way to raise awareness of Texas’ con- tribution to the ilm industry, culture and history and to support the next generation of ilm artists,” Campbell said. Two of the four honorees — Austinite Amber Heard, known for her ilm role in “Friday Night Lights,” and Louis Black, co-founder of the Austin Chronicle — are former UT students. AFS When: 9 p.m. — midnight Where: Austin Studios, Stage 7 Cost: $50 also selected country singer and actor Mac Davis and David Gordon Green, direc- tor of “Pineapple Express,” as honorees at this year’s event. he ilm “From Dusk till Dawn,” directed by Rob- ert Rodriguez, was chosen as the only ilm to be added to the Texas Film Hall of Fame this year. “For each year’s class of honorees, we generally mix it up between actors, directors, writers and other behind-the- camera creatives,” Campbell said. “It’s an eclectic group that bears talent, accomplish- ment and Texas in common.” While tickets to attend the ilm awards are sold out, tickets to the ater-party are still available online for $50. All proceeds beneit the AFS programs and services that empower the future genera- tion of Texas ilm through the AFS grant. According to Campbell, $100,000 is given to emerging artists each year. “We’ve given $1.35 million in cash over the years,” Camp- bell said. By Eleanor Dearman @ellydearman Zines, do-it-yourself magazines that were at peak popularity in the ’70s and ’80s, are regaining popu- larity at UT and across the nation. The cultural reasons for this resurgence, as well as the overall cultural value of zines, is one of the top- ics of discussion for “Zines in the Scholarly World,” a panel talk Thursday at the Fine Arts Library fea- turing UT alumnus Mi- chael Sieben and other zine experts. “Zine is an abbreviation for the word magazine, so it takes a lot of diferent forms,” said Jason Urban, UT art lecturer and panel- ist for the discussion. “It’s a small press publication, generally made by an indi- vidual, and it’s expressing that individual’s concerns and points of view.” Fine Arts Librarian Laura Schwartz has been collect- ing zines over the past four years and has accumulated about 100 photography and art zines primarily pro- duced by Texas artists. Schwartz discovered that current artist-in-residence Sieben has been making zines since college and in- corporates them into his exhibit “It Will All Hap- pen Again” at the Visual Ash Wednesday March 5 2026 Guadalupe St • www 2026 Guadalupe St • www 2026 Guadalupe St • www at the University Catholic Center at the University Catholic Center at St. Austin Catholic Parish 2:05, 3 and 5 p.m. Masses at 8 and 10 a.m, Interfaith Christian service at 7 p.m. 12 noon, 5 and 7:30 p.m. 2026 Guadalupe St • www at the University Catholic Center Masses at 8 a.m, 12:05, 3 and 5 p.m Interfaith Christian service at 7 p.m. 2062 Guadalupe St www.staustin.org e • www e • www e • www 2010 University Ave www.utcatholic.org e • www Served by the Paulist Fathers Helen Fernandez / Daily Texan Staff UT dance students Erica Saucedo and Kelsey Oliver are part of UT’s ensemble Dance Repertory Theatre. Their dance pieces — “White Noise (RGB)” and “The Great Green Greazy Limpopo River” — will premiere this Thursday at the Dance Repertory Theatre’s annual showcase. Oliver said. “Just seeing how much art can change over the years and how much it relates to our minds and perception — that world of unknown is always exciting to pursue.” A childhood memory of a story told by her grandfather inspired Oliver to choreograph “he Great Green Greazy Limpopo River.” “It inspired me to look more into the mem- ories and experiences we do remember, how they are placed into our identities and in our voices,” Oliver said. “How, over time, our identities are really just a collection of titles and experiences that we either put on our- selves or that are placed upon us.” Saucedo, on the other hand, relies on her emotions to create the dance movements. Saucedo’s costume designer, was inspired by an art installation in Milan. Saucedo’s dancers wear specially designed unitards, which have layers of images printed on them. When the colored light changes, dif- ferent patterns will be visible on the unitards. Associate dance professor David Justin worked with both Saucedo and Oliver to help choreograph their pieces. “We act as interpreters when they may be trying to igure out how to realize a vision in three dimensions, with the dancers and other collaborators,” Justin said. “We are very care- ful to make sure it is their voice — their vision that is being realized.” Oliver began choreographing her piece by understanding the intricacies of her own body. KINESTHETIC IMPERATIVE Where: Payne Theatre Category: March 6-9 Cost: $15-$25 “It allows me to explore what the body is capable of, by feeling comfortable with ex- ploring the uncomfortable,” Oliver said. “It allows me to just learn more about myself.” By contrast, Saucedo seeks to bring audienc- es into the moment through her choreography. “his forward motion in our lives prevents us from living in the moment,” Saucedo said. “I wanted to create a piece for the audience that will keep the audience in the moment ev- ery step of the way.” Panel to talk about rediscovering zines UT alumnus Michael Sieben, who will speak at a panel talk Thursday at the Fine Arts Library on the resurgence of zines, holds a piece of work from his zine exhibit. Shelby Tauber / Daily Texan Staff Arts Center. “I across stumbled zines through skateboard- ing, which is something I have been very active in throughout my life,” Sieben said. “I remember seeing a skateboarding zine, and it was very eye- opening in the term that all of the magazines I had seen up to that point were promoting zines in Cali- fornia, and this one was made in Texas promoting the local scene.” Sieben said his art has inluenced by zine been making, but the crat also landed him his current job as managing editor for “hrasher Magazine.” “When you’re making a magazine that ships inter- nationally, you’re trying to make it appeal to as many people as you can,” Sieben said. “But, with a zine, you can be very speciic about what your interests are.” Zines gained popularity when the photocopy ma- chine was invented but be- came a less common form of art ater the development of the Internet. “he Internet appeared and blogs sort of took over the role of zines for a time, but they’ve had a come- back in the hands of artists and designers,” Urban said. “hey are still used to share people’s personal ideas, but I think there’s a new gen- eration of makers who are inding the idea of making a physical publication on their own really refresh- ing ater years of working with computers.” Schwartz attributes the comeback of zines to the recent resurgence of do-it- yourself culture. “People are hungry for tactile objects because ev- erything that we deal with is digital and electronic,” Schwartz said. “You see this everywhere with do- it-yourself culture. People have gotten back into us- ing a typewriter. People are knitting again. here are just so many things people are doing that are physical, and I think this is just one of those things.” In addition to Sieben’s exhibit, zines can be found in UT classrooms. here is a freshman UGS course called Zines in the Digital Age, and zines are one of the art forms taught in Two- dimensional Design — one of the lower division studio art classes — both of which Urban has taught. “As part of the zine mak- ing class, the professor picks two or three of the best and then we add them to the collection, so, when they start the project, they know theirs might be picked to be added to the collection,“ Schwartz said. In addition to the panel discussion this week, Sieben will hold a zine-making workshop April 12. Sieben said zines are a form of ex- pression that anyone can publish and enjoy. “here’s something very freeing about it,” Sieben said. “It’s obviously making something by yourself, so you can do whatever you want versus working with magazine or a book pub- lisher where you have to work with art directors and editors. When you’re mak- ing a zine, it’s entirely your own voice.”
