IT’S A GOOD DAY TO FLY Rivalry date leads to clash with music fest By Alexa Ura Daily Texan Staff Last minute changes to the fall Big 12 football schedule led to a conflict between the Austin City Limits Music Festival and Texas-OU weekend, leaving students to decide which major event to attend. Festival officials first chose the date last year intending to avoid the weekend of the big game, said ACL spokesperson Sandee Fenton, but a restructuring of the Big 12 Conference has led to reshuffling of the season schedule. “When ACL 2012 was scheduled and confirmed, there were no conflicts during the weekend of Oct. 1214, but the Big 12 Conference shuffled their schedule last week,” Fen- ton said. The overlap will force students to choose between two major UT student attractions. Radio-television-film sophomore Brianna Dean said she is a football fan, but is choosing to vol unteer at ACL over attending the OU game in October. “I’ve attended ACL almost every year since I was a kid,” she said. “I really love football, but I live music.” Carly Ward, communications director for the Texas Exes Student Chapter, said Texas fans are dedicated fans, so she doesn’t think there will be a noticeable decline in attendance at the OU game. “Although it seems like a controversial choice now, I don’t think ACL will stop too many students from going to the game,” she said. “Die hard ACL fans probably won’t go to Dallas, but they may have never had plans to go in the first place.” The dates of the festival fluctuate between September and October because ACL executives at C3 Presents pick a date based on University and city schedules in order to avoid conflicting dates, Fenton said. Last year’s festival was held mid- September, but this year’s festival was pushed back almost a month SCHEDULE continues on PAGE 2 Underage drinking poses more than health risks By Tracy Frydberg Daily Texan Staff While underage drinking in the United States has become an unexceptional occurrence, the financial consequences of hospitalization from drinking may not be as commonly known as the physical ones. A Mayo Clinic study discovered that the estimated total cost for hospitalization resulting from underage drinking is approximately $755 million per year. The findings were published Feb. 15 in the online Journal of Adolescent Health. Research ers also discovered geographic and demographic differences concerning alcohol-related hospital admissions. Adolescent hospitalizations were lowest in the South, according to the study. As discussed in the study, among teenagers in the U.S. 18 of every 10,000 adolescent males and 12 of every 10,000 females were hospitalized after consuming alcohol in 2008.

UT Athletics released the 2012 UT football season schedule Tuesday, listing the 107th meeting of Texas and Oklahoma set for Oct. 13, right in the middle of ACL weekend. The football schedule was released the same day West Virginia University announced plans to join the Big 12 football conference for the 2012 season. West Virginia was in the middle of a lawsuit settlement that released them from the Big East Conference without the required 27-month release waiting period. “The Big 12 was scrambling to get West Virginia into the league for this fall,” said Mike Huguenin, college sports editor for Yahoo Sports. Last minute-entry West Virginia would make the Big 12 a 10-team conference and allow for a round robin schedule without the necessity for non-conference games at the beginning of the season, he said. Bob Burda, associate commissioner for the Big 12, said the release of the conference schedule was delayed because of TCU and West Virginia’s inclusion. “We had to wait for the legal process of West Virginia with the Big East to play out before we were in a position to announce the schedule,” he said. Burda said the date Texas was scheduled to play OU resulted from Texas A&M’s departure and the addition of two new members to the conference. Available game windows for other schools have to be taken into consideration when creating Texas’ usual schedule of four games at home, four on the road and one at a neutral site, he said. Regular scheduling logistics include receiving nine conference game windows from schools in the conference and addressing university ties to homecoming events, neutral sites or other commitments when creating the schedule, Burda said. A computer program generates a tentative schedule that Big 12 executives then evaluate, modify and present to athletic directors. “We know that the Oklahoma game will coincide with ACL,” Burda said. “We tried to accommodate all special occasions including the festival and The Austin Grand Prix Race this year, but we are not always able to accommodate everyone.” SCHEDULE continues from PAGE 1 Austin City Limits and the Red River Rivalry game are both set to be held the weekend of Oct. 12. An Austin City Limits spokesperson said the restructuring of the Big 12 Conference led to the conflict. Mary Kang and Lawrence Peart Daily Texan File Photo “Mr. Borders decided to resign after meeting with my office about employment expectations,” Gonzalez said. “Had Mr. Borders not decided to resign, UT employment policies would have continued to have been followed in my office in consultation with the Board of Consultation Trustees.” Members of the TSM Board of Trustees, which jointly oversees TSM with the office of student affairs, expressed frustration over not being consulted about Borders’ departure. Student Media Board President Lindsey Powers said she was surprised by Borders’ resignation and was unaware of whether the Vice President’s office forced him to leave. “I have not heard anything officially or legally,” Powers said. “I would like some answers.” Borders said Gonzalez told him he was “not collaborative” and was not doing enough to balance the budget. As one of his primary responsibilities, Borders was expected to help TSM overcome a projected deficit of about $175,000, according to a letter from the vice president’s office. He said the office balked at some of his suggestions for doing so. Borders said his proposal, which was never made official, suggested selling TSTV and KVRX in an attempt to gain $3 million for TSM, and this might have played a role in his forced resignation. Borders said Student Affairs assistant vice president Jennifer Hammat told him Gonzalez did not support the idea at all. “I had talked to Mrs. Hammat about the idea before I wrote it up and she did not say she agreed with it, but she didn’t say it was completely crazy either,” Borders said. “We talked again after she showed it to Gonzalez and she said he absolutely hated it and was very upset about it.” Borders said when he learned Gonzalez did not like the proposal he immediately began a new one suggesting different ways to make money for TSM. He said the reasons for his forced resignation are invalid because he attempted to improve the budget and collaborate with coworkers. “I was just seeing if it was a viable option, and when I learned it wasn’t, I got to work on new ideas,” Borders said. “It wasn’t my way or the highway.” Borders said he did not have a contract and was told he was hired “under the pleasure of the president” and could, therefore, be terminated at any time. Although Borders is upset by the forced resignation without any warning, he said there is no legal issue. “I was never evaluated before that meeting,” Borders said. “I was never before given a warning about what I needed to change or do differently. I was never reprimanded. Nothing.” Powers said the TSM board is planning a meeting soon to discuss an interim replacement for the position. The University originally scheduled a meeting for today but a quorum of board members was unable to attend. Borders previously worked for newspapers throughout East Texas where he served as publisher and columnist, according to his website. Previously publisher of Cedar Park’s Hill Country News, Borders said he hoped to hold the TSM position for as long as possible, according to a June 2011 Daily Texan article. He replaced Hammat, who served as interim director for a year and a half. Associate director of the School of Journalism and former TSM board member Wanda Cash said although she was not on the board at the same time as Borders she has known him for a long time and believes he had good intentions for TSM. “He understood keenly about balancing budgets and was on his way to cutting the deficit at TSM,” Cash said. “I hope his goal of debt reduction will be continued. TSM will not be able to survive on SURE Walk provides safety through volunteers who can be reached by phone or email to meet a student and walk them to their destination, Cooksey said. SURE Walk will escort students in the areas between MLK Boulevard, Lamar Boulevard, E. 29th Street and E. Inner Campus Drive, Cooksey said. “As much as SURE Walk would like to provide walks to everyone, there are times when the desired destination request is a bit out of range,” Cooksey said. “When SURE Walk cannot be around, you must always stay aware of your surroundings.” APD spokeswoman Veneza Aguinaga said walking in groups when possible and staying observant are the keys to safety. “Do not have headphones on where you cannot hear what is going on around you,” Aguinaga said. “Be observant and have a phone available in case of emergency.” UT Police Department Sgt. Laura Davis said UTPD is available on-campus at any time, but as soon as a student is off UT property, it is the jurisdiction of APD, meaning most of West Campus is not under UTPD’s jurisdiction. drug education program in the Health Promotion Resource Center. Prince said the financial and health-related consequences of underage drinking should encourage students to make smart alcohol-related decisions. “For most students, associating drinking with the social and financial burden that comes along with it will act as a deterrent to underage drinkers,” Prince said. He said there are both short- and long-term risks associated with underage drinking. “One of the biggest complaints I hear is that students have problems the following day after drinking,” Prince said. “They are forced to recover and the brain’s ability to work well is diminished.” Even alcohol consumption that takes place over the weekend can affect a student’s “work” week, he said. “When you don’t get enough sleep on the weekend, it will catch up with you on Wednesday and you end up in a cycle of always trying to catch up with your sleep and school work,” Prince said. Prince said the consequences of underage drinking last far beyond adolescence. “The younger you start drinking, the greater the chance you have of developing an addiction,” Prince said. “There are also long-term memory losses that can occur as a result of underage drinking,” Prince has found that even with the challenge of having UT located in an urban area where there is a lot of access to alcohol, UT compares quite well in regards to national averages of underage drinking. According to Prince, 60 percent of all UT students are underage, and about 74 percent of all students either do not drink or have fewer than four drinks when they go out. The Health Promotion Resource Center offers two main resources to educate the student body on alcohol. All incoming freshmen must take a three-hour alcohol education class, and the center also launched a “social norms marketing campaign,” to educate students on underage drinking in college. Prince said both strategies are effective tools to educate students on the risks and consequences associated with underage alcohol consumption. Undeclared senior Jaesub Kim, president of Healthy Student Living, said he hopes by encouraging underage students to be more physically active, they will be less likely to consume hazardous amounts of alcohol. “Drinking large sums of alcohol causes students to do poorly in school,” Kim said. Plan II freshman Randy Olmsted said underage students will continue to drink regardless of the financial or health-related risks involved. “Lowering the drinking age to 19 would effectively decrease the cost of hospitalization for underage drinking,” Olmsted said. “Because alcohol has become a ‘forbidden fruit,’ underage students are more likely to abuse it. Lowering the age to 19 won’t entice high school students, but will instead encourage college students to drink more responsibly,” Olmsted said.

Law Offi ce Paul Quinzi 707 W. 10th Street Austin, Texas 512-535-1081 FREE CONSULTATION www.pq-law.com paul@pq-law.com UT School of Law, Class of ‘01 EAL w Office of PaulQuinz COMAYAGUA, Honduras — Six guards, 800-plus prisoners in 10 cellblocks, one set of keys. The numbers added up to disaster when fire tore through a prison and 355 people died, many yet to even be charged with a crime, much less convicted. The deadliest prison blaze in a century has exposed just how deep government dysfunction and confusion go in Honduras, a small Central American country with the world’s highest murder rate. Prisoners’ scorched bodies were being brought to the capital of Tegucigalpa on Thursday for identification, a process authorities said could take weeks. Dozens of family members gathered outside the morgue wearing surgical masks against the strong smell of death as police called out the names of the few less-charred victims who had been identified. Most relatives said they didn’t believe the authorities’ account that a prisoner set a mattress on fire late Tuesday after threatening to burn down Comayagua prison. They also faulted prison officials for failing to get help inside quickly as flames engulfed the facility. Hundreds of screaming men burned and suffocated inside their locked cells as rescuers desperately searched for keys. “Those who lock up the prisoners are in charge of their welfare. Why couldn’t they open the doors?” said a weeping Manuela Alvardo, whose 34-year-old son died. He was to have been released in May after serving a murder sentence. “It couldn’t have been a mattress fire. This guy wasn’t alone. He was in a crowded cell. The other prisoners wouldn’t have allowed that to happen. They would have put out the fire.” From the time firefighters received a call at 10:59 p.m., the rescue was marred by human error and conditions inside the prison that led to catastrophe. Only six guards were on duty, four in towers overlooking the prison and two in the facility itself, said Fidel Tejeda, who was assigned to a tower that night. Survivors said they watched helplessly as the guard who had the keys fled without unlocking their cells. The Interamerican Court on Humans Rights issued a report in 2006 recommending measures to avoid prison overcrowding and training and equipment to deal with emergencies and evacuations after the fires in 2003 and 2004. It issued another critical report in 2010 noting that none of the changes had been made. World&NatioN 3 Friday, February 17, 2012 | The Daily Texan | Austin Myers, Wire Editor | dailytexanonline.com UN General Assembly disavows Syrian crimes against humanity BEIRUT — U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon accused the Syrian regime of committing “almost certain” crimes against humanity Thursday as activists reported fresh violence and the arrest of several prominent dissidents, including a U.S.-born blogger. The U.N. General Assembly approved an Arab-sponsored resolution strongly condemning human rights violations by the Syrian regime and backing an Arab League plan aimed at ending the conflict. While General Assembly resolutions are nonbinding, they do reflect world opinion on major issues and supporters are hoping for a high “yes” vote to deliver a strong message to Assad’s regime. On Wednesday, Assad ordered a Feb. 26 referendum on a new constitution that would create a multiparty system in Syria, which has been ruled by the same family dynasty for 40 years. Such a change would have been unheard of a year ago, and Assad’s regime is touting the new constitution as the centerpiece of reforms aimed at calming Syria’s upheaval. NJ governor likely to veto bill allowing same-sex marriage TRENTON, N.J. — Gov. Chris Christie will take no action Thursday night on a gay marriage bill OK’d by the New Jersey Assembly. The Assembly passed the bill allowing same-sex nuptials by a 42-33 vote earlier Thursday. But the chamber isn’t required to send the bill to Christie’s desk until the close of business Friday. Christie, a Republican who opposes gay marriage, has promised “very swift action” once the bill reaches his desk. The Democratic controlled Legislature then has two years to try to override the governor, something they have yet to be successful at doing. Chinese trademark dispute to interrupt iPad production BEIJING — Authorities have seized iPads from more Chinese retailers in an escalating trademark dispute between Apple Inc. and a struggling local company that could disrupt global sales of the popular tablet computer. Shenzhen Proview Technology claims it owns the iPad name in China, and a court ruled in its favor last year. This week, the Chinese company said it will ask customs officials to stop imports and exports of iPads, which are made in China. A website run by China Business News said iPads were seized in the central city of Zhengzhou and the eastern port of Qingdao. Proview registered the iPad trademark in China in 2001. Apple bought rights to the name from a Taiwanese affiliate, but the mainland company says it still owns the name in China. A Chinese court rejected Apple’s claim to the name in China last year. Apple has appealed. —Compiled from Associated Press reports NEW BRIEFLY RECYC L E . your copy of The Daily Texan Honduran prison overcrowding lets 355 prisoners burn to death By Mark Stevenson & Martha Mendoza The Associated Press Fernando Antonio | Associated Press Maria Hernandez stands behind a fence as she waits for information about her relative outside the morgue in Tegucigalpa, Honduras on Thursday. 4 Friday, February 17, 2012 | The Daily Texan | Viviana Aldous, Editor-in-Chief | (512) 232-2212 | editor@dailytexanonline.com OpiniOn4 Friday, February 17, 2012 | The Daily Texan | Viviana Aldous, Editor-in-Chief | (512) 232-2212 | editor@dailytexanonline.com OpiniOn Countdown to the student government Candidate debate 3daysThe deputy to the dean of students will host a candidate debate at 7 p.m. Mon- day in the Student Activity Center audi- torium.

The election ensures that UT students get the newspaper they want and an editorial board that represents their interests. This year, two candidates are vying for the position: Shabab Siddiqui and Susannah Jacob. To better inform our readership, we asked the candidates to write a column addressing the following questions: What do you think the role of The Daily Texan should be on UT’s campus, and how should it work to fulfill that role? Students can vote online Feb. 29 and March 1 at http://utexasvote.com. Lessons from the old couches by shabab siddiqui Candidate for Daily Texan Editor Almost every room in The Daily Texan office has an old, wise couch. Over the years, the couches in the office have been moved around and thrown away. They’ve been sat on, jumped on and slept on. Some of them reek, and some of them shed. Former staffers will start to tell stories about something that happened on a certain couch but then pause, smile to themselves and decide it is best not to finish. The couches have guided the Texan through the good and bad. Today, we stand at a place where seemingly every print journalism statistic is down, including circulation, advertising revenue and readership. It’s difficult to sit on the rotting cushions of the couches in the office, flicking off the yellow-colored stuffing that escapes through the seams, and not compare the present to the past. But to see the couches as what they once were does an immeasurable disservice to what they always have been. Year in and year out, these couches have been where the issues of the time are discussed and debated. It is where ideas are argued, tears are shed, laughs are shared and stories are born. It is from these couches that 20-year-old women and men gathered to challenge policies and celebrate championships. And in the same way that these couches served generations of Texan staffers, The Daily Texan needs to serve the UT campus. No other entity stretches across constituencies and locations like the Texan does, and with this reach comes the responsibility to be the host of discussion and debate. To do that requires a great deal of openness, visibility and a commitment to campus-wide interaction. It is common for leaders to blame student apathy and disinterest for a lack of engagement. But to do so at the Texan is a petty surrender, an acknowledgement of a ceiling for an organization that survives on the belief of the unconquerable, unlimited and uncapped highs of student potential. There are a lot of things that the Texan can be doing better to fulfill its role as the medium of discussion. We need to strive to be the premier source for Texas higher education happenings. There needs to be a continuing effort to localize city, state and national issues, as well as helping illustrate the complex financial and legislative workings of the University and the state. There also needs to be increased, two-way engagement with various groups, such as graduate students, UT staff members, Greek communities and minority students. Most importantly, the Texan needs to be a pioneer in experimenting and reanalyzing the role of an invaluable news source in the current digital context. This goes beyond simply social media and the Internet but requires toying with deeper questions of how people interact with information. Willie Morris, the oft-quoted Texan legend who served as editor-in-chief in 1955-56, wrote, “In its finest moments, and they had been often, The Daily Texan had defended the spirit of a fine university even when the University of Texas itself was unable or unwilling to do so, and in these periods it had reached an eloquence and displayed a courage that would have challenged the mature profession.” The existential crisis that faces higher education is similar to the existential crisis that faces journalism in that both require a commitment to engagement that we may have been able to skirt in the past. While we’re quick to cover the ivory tower, we need to avoid becoming the ivory basement. At the very least, this ensures that the lessons of the decrepit couches can be passed on to the next generation. Siddiqui is a finance and government junior. By and for the students by susannah Jacob Candidate for Daily Texan Editor We’ve blown out the candles. The Daily Texan celebrated its 111th birthday this past October. The Texan’s history is a storied, eventful and proud one. Nearly as old as UT, the paper helped make the University the place it is today by striving for more than a century to give UT students a voice. As it faces a changing newspaper business, the Texan retains a key and constant advantage: By focusing on UT, the Texan gives its readers news they can’t obtain elsewhere. Throughout the Texan’s existence, that advantage has defined the paper’s role. When UT students read The Daily Texan, they should identify their sentiments and concerns within its pages and feel a sense of ownership of the paper. The Texan is the oldest student newspaper in the South and continues to be one of the largest in the country. Until 2009, the paper owned a printing press in the basement of its campus building. At its start, it employed women, and its alumni include Walter Cronkite and Bill Moyers. But the most constant and significant thread in the Texan’s history is its struggle against censorship. The Texan’s opposition to censorship distinguishes the paper because its editors recognized that when UT Regents, administrators or Texas legislators attempted to stop the paper from publishing stories, they did so because what the Texan printed mattered. Perhaps the most famous example of an attempt to censor the paper occurred in 1974. According to “The Daily Texan: the First 100 Years,” after several months of mounting tensions among UT Regents, administrators and The Texan, then-UT President Stephen Spurr called for UT’s journal ism school to appoint the editor-in-chief of the Texan because he wanted to increase “professionalism” of the newspaper’s staff. Then-editorin- chief Michael Eakin called the recommendation “absurd,” adding “If the Texan is to be a free newspaper, it must have an elected editor, not one which is appointed by a board that is half appointed by the president.” At the same time, UT Regent Frank Erwin, also less than fully supportive of the paper, moved to stop funding the paper. In March of 1974, Erwin persuaded the Board of Regents to end funding of both the Texan and UT Student Government. The March 18, 1974 edition of The Daily Texan ran a blank front page, except for a textbox with Erwin’s quote: “We do not fund anything that we don’t control.” That nearly blank front page served as a bold message about students’ free speech rights, and it eventually led to a protest on the South Mall, 3,000 students strong, and a petition, 30,000 signatures long, demanding the Regents reverse their decision. The Daily Texan becomes most significant, powerful and useful when it speaks for UT students. Its editors and reporters strive to do this every day. But considering some Texan history underscores that in order for the newspaper to continue to be relevant and influence the University, students must remain vital stakeholders in the paper. Student groups and organizations must know they have a shot at getting portrayed fairly in its pages, and they must know how to be considered; columnists must write about subjects students care about, and The Daily Texan editorin- chief must remain available and ready to listen. As the UT student body grows in size and influence, these challenges for the paper become more difficult but even more important.

With the recent Texas redistricting battle delaying the 2012 Texas primary elections or the presidential election to ate May, student voting turnout may decrease. Even if students are out of town, howevr, voting can still be possible by requesting their ballots by mail, said Mary Fero, spokeswoman for the Travis Couny Clerk’s Elections Division. There have been reports that he primary will take place on May 29, Fero said. If this beomes the official date, ear- y voting would begin on May 14, which is probably afer most students’ semesters inish, but nonetheless, they have options that allow them o participate in voting. “Any voter who is out of their egistered county can request a ballot by mail, so the law provides some options there,” Fero aid. “Students who aren’t regstered in Austin have the op- ion of voting in their home- own precinct or county.” Paul Theobald, UT Votes pokesman and government and philosophy senior, said he earliest date to plan on Texas primaries is May 29, but even that date is not set, because of lack of consensus among the parties involved. “Changing the schedule will most certainly affect the student population, as uncertainty leads to distraction and a smaller turnout,” Theobald said. “If it is moved to after school ends, many of the students who are registered to vote here may travel, or go home or be in a ‘summer mindset’ which would lessen the turnout.” President of University Democrats Huey Fischer said students are going to be disenfranchised because the primaries are after finals. “We expect numbers to drop significantly,” Fischer said. “The mission of political groups on campus like UDems and College Republicans is to turn out the youth vote. This news makes it extremely difficult to achieve that.” Kathleen Wong, vice president of College Republicans at Texas, said voting is a civic duty to all citizens and students should take the time to vote whether the election is held during a time of convenience or not. “I do believe, those who feel invested in the political world will be more likely to be out there voting despite certain conditions,” Wong said. “Those who feel invested in the political world will be more likely to be out there voting despite certain conditions. Sa Wang | Daily Texan Staff Huffington Post health blogger Jenni Schaefer spoke Thursday about overcoming her eating disorders. After Schaefer overcame anorexia, buli- mia and binge eating, she wrote two books and now does community outreach. Blogger talks eating disorders, recovery By Alexa Ura Daily Texan Staff Confronting and healing from the struggles of an eating disorder through self-empowerment treatment can lead to a more fulfilling life after recovery, said an eating disorder survivor and advocate to a campus audience Thursday night. Jenni Schaefer struggled with many eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating before realizing her life was unmanageable and that she needed professional help. Since outreach on radio and television and also works as a consultant with the Center for Change, an eating disorder treatment center in Utah. “I used all the tools I had available to me through my support system to take that jump into recovery,” she said. “So many college students deal with body image and are constantly pressured by society to look a specific way, but food doesn’t have a moral value and should only be labeled as nutritious.” Eating disorders affect as many as 11 million individuals in the United States each day, according allowed me to better confront it when I developed by own voice through the help of others.” Sara Weber, eating disorder specialist at UT’s Mindful Eating program, said Schaefer is an example of individuals becoming healthier people after working and staying committed to disorder treatment. Mindful Eating is one of UT’s Counseling and Mental Health Center programs and is focused on helping students assess their eating disorders, body image concerns and healthy diets. “Jenni doesn’t just talk about going through a treatment and recovering from a disorder,” she in public despite the stigmas that are attached to them, said Susan Ducloux, a licensed professional counselor who attended the talk after reading Schaefer’s books. “These disorders have always been there,” said Ducloux. “While it is good that individuals suffering from them are reaching out for more help, it also reflects the increased cultural stress to have an unrealistic body image that may be affecting them.” Schaefer said while she hopes her talksprovidearelatablepersonalexperience for individuals trying to assess a disorder, they should always seek professional support. “ — Kathleen Wong, vice president of College Republicans then, she has written two books about dealing with her eating to the National Eating Disorder said. “Instead, she focuses on hav-“A lot of the time, my talks help disorders and is a health blog-“I named my eating disorder Association’s website. ing a positive body image and people spin off to get help, and ger for the Huffington Post. achieving a fulfilling life after it.” that is so important,” she said.

The piece is part of a new exhibition by the Blanton Museum of Art that will run until late September. Exhibit presents incomplete portrait By Paxton Thomes Daily Texan Staff The paintings of America’s westward expansion are now featured in the Blanton Museum of Art and give insight into popular representations deep in the American psyche. The Blanton is hosting “Go West! Representations of the American Frontier,” which started Jan. 14 and ends Sept. 23, an exhibit dedicated to showing the development of the American West over time through a series of photographs, drawings and paintings. The museum hosted a public tour of the exhibit Thursday. The exhibition includes pieces from the Blanton’s permanent collection and was brought out to contrast the upcoming exhibit focusing on the Hudson River School style of painting. The idea behind the exhibit is to get people to look beyond the West as a basic geographic location, but rather as a concept, said Blanton Museum spokeswoman Brady Dyer. “We want people to walk away with the idea that the West is bigger than just being a location or time in history,” Dyer said. “We want them to walk away having learned something new.” Dyer said she believes it is important for people to gain a better understanding of the West’s history and to learn about how the ideas of the past have developed over time. “The response that we are getting is that people are much more curious in the West than we originally thought,” Dyer said. “There is a fascination that goes along with the idea of the West.” Karen White, a Blanton Mu seum docent, said many of the paintings in the exhibit were painted after the time that they depict to represent people’s view of the West. “The exhibit shows the ideas of the West and what Americans were supposed to know or think of the West over time,“ said White. Emily Dunn, a St. Edwards fine arts junior, said she attended the exhibit to view the historically significant art and she believes the history of the West is relevant to where Americans currently are in society. “Not only are the techniques of the different artists gorgeous, but they also depict a good world view of history and show what shaped the present,” Dunn said. “I think they are a reminder of the hardships portrayed of the West.” While some think the exhib it depicts an important part of American history, others believe it is lacking. Associate history professor Erika Bsumek said the paintings were used to create a visual language that reflects a very narrow historical view of the American West and ignores the history of Native Americans. “It gives the impression that Indians were either leaving or easily conquered,” Bsumek said. “This depiction of the American West erases a whole other history of development in the West.” The paintings do not accurately reflect the levels of development that the Indian people had achieved, Bsumek said. “The West was a fairly well- developed region,” Bsumek said. “The indigenous people had vast trading networks, had developed diplomacy, and had a wide-reaching society.” Hindu students host events to raise cultural awareness By Sylvia Butanda Daily Texan Staff Members of the Hindu Students Association hope the next time people hear the word “yoga,” they will think of its relation to Hinduism rather than its contemporary status as a relaxing, pose- making workout. The key focus of the sixth annual Hinduism Awareness Week, hosted by the Hindu Students Association, aims to clear up common misconceptions about Hinduism through yoga with interactive activities for students throughout the week. Yoga-themed activities were the center of Awareness Week on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Tuesday’s activity featuring a guest speaker from the Austin-based temple, Radha Madhav Dham. The speaker talked about yoga in Hinduism and answered general questions related to the religion for attendees. “It educated students to a deeper level about yoga,” said nutrition sophomore Sirisha Pokala, the organization’s co-chair of Hindu Awareness Week. “Most people just know about yoga as a path of fitness and meditation, but there’s much more to that, and Hinduism Awareness Week really delves into this topic.” Wednesday’s featured event was a free yoga lesson with instructor Ayesha Venkatrao- Holcombe, who taught various poses in addition to speaking about yoga’s purpose in Hinduism, said biochemistry junior Karthik Bande, chair for Hinduism Awareness Week. Bande said today’s event will feature games in the West Mall focusing on some general misconceptions of Hinduism and some history behind some “ Non-Hindu students will be able to learn how Hinduism may apply in their lives and how they may be practicing some aspects of it — Lakshay Jain, spokesman for the Hindu Students Association “ SPORTS8 Friday, February 17, 2012 | THE DAILY TEXAN | Sameer Bhuchar, Sports Editor | (512) 232-2210 | sports@dailytexanonline.com SPORTS8 Friday, February 17, 2012 | THE DAILY TEXAN | Sameer Bhuchar, Sports Editor | (512) 232-2210 | sports@dailytexanonline.com BASEBALL Covering their bases Elisabeth Dillon | Daily Texan Staff Sophomore pitcher Nathan Thornhill will start for the Longhorns today against Duke. Texas lost three of their top four pitchers after last season. Young team looks to build upon last season despite personell loss By Chris Hummer Daily Texan Staff Baseball is a long season, but it never hurts to get out of the gates quickly. That is exactly what Texas will attempt to do today on opening day. “I think it’s really important to get off to a good start,” said sophomore Nathan Thornhill. “I feel like a good start establishes good rhythm, and you want to win as many games as you can whether it’s the first one or the last one.” The Longhorns will attempt to put that idea into practice when they square off with Duke in a three-game series at the UFCU Disch-Falk Field to open 2012. The Blue Devils are coming off of a rebuilding season, in which they went 26-30 and won only seven games in Atlantic Coast Conference play. However, Duke was the youngest team in the NCAA last season, with underclassmen comprising 70 percent of the team. This season, they will be more experienced and a more difficult matchup. “They have talented players in their lineup and first round draft picks on their pitching staff,” said Texas head coach Augie Garri do. “Their coach is very good and has a philosophy that is very effective offensively in college baseball. I mean they are an ACC team, man. You have to be pretty good there or you don’t finish well at all.” Texas is more talented than Duke, Texas is a young team. The Longhorns are missing a lot from the squad that made it to the College World Series last season. Three of the top four pitchers from the rotation are gone and the same can be said for the lineup, where the team lost a trio of .300 hitters. It will be up to a number of underclassmen to be MEN’S BASKETBALL Second road trip to Oklahoma provides opportunity for win By Austin Laymance Daily Texan Staff The Longhorns are going back to Oklahoma this weekend for the second time in five days with a chance to further expand their NCAA tournament resume.

Texas is fresh off an 11-point win at Oklahoma on Tuesday and will face OSU (12-14) for the second time this season when they meet at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla.

Towards the end of the 2011 regular season, Bennett was forced to watch her team from the bench after a rouge pitch injured her right arm in a game against Iowa State. After turning in a .438 batting average with 57 hits and 41 RBIs last season, the senior’s presence on the field is crucial to the Longhorn’s game plan as they seek to make it to the NCAA Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla. this June. “I am really excited to get back on the field,” Bennett said. “It was really hard for me last year, and even coming back for the regionals I was excited, but I still wasn’t 100 percent healthy.

Now we have to get another one in Manhattan.” A failure to take care of the ball, some poor shooting and a weak inside presence caused problems for the Longhorns the first time these two teams met. Texas turned the ball over 21 times while shooting just 38.5 percent from the field and converting only 44.4 percent of its free throw attempts. The interior foursome of Ashley Gayle, Cokie Reed, Nneka Enemkpali and Anne Marie Hartung struggled to establish any sort of post presence and matched their paltry 10 total points with a costly 10 turnovers. “The lack of an inside presence was huge,” said Goestenkors after the first meeting between these of the Week after last week’s Texas Classic Tournament. The Longhorns will host four teams in the Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational tournament this weekend. The first round starts today, with Texas playing their first contest against the University of Pittsburgh at 2 p.m. Texas will also see action against the University of Tennessee and the University of Illinois. Round robin play will continue through Saturday afternoon before a semifinal Saturday afternoon. Sunday will feature the championship and consolation games. “A few of the teams coming in this weekend have a lot of team speed, specifically Tennessee,” Clark said. “I am looking forward to the behaviors and making sure that we are coming out, staying pitch-to-pitch and bringing the energy. We need to control the tempo.” Clark hopes that having two games every day, several days in a row, will help Texas prepare for the grind of conference season and for the NCAA Women’s College World Series. “I think we are all hungry to get back. Everyone [has] worked hard,” Bennett said. “It is time to step up ” OSU continues from PAGE 8 more wins to have a chance at an at-large bid. “I can assure you that nobody is going to talk their way into the NCAA tournament,” head coach Rick Barnes said. “In another twoand- a-half to three weeks, you’re going to have a resume, and you’re either good enough or you’re not.” The final five Big 12 games on the Longhorns’ schedule include tests against No. 9 Baylor at home on Monday and No. 4 Kansas on the road in the regular season finale on March 3. “We’ve got enough games to prove that we are good enough,” Barnes added. “And we’ve got a choice to make. If we want to do it, it’s there for us. I think it’s that simple. You’ve got to earn it.” Still, Texas can’t become content with a four-game streak. There are no guarantees at this point, and each game has more importance than the previous. “I don’t think we’re there yet, in terms of what we have to do to get where we want to go, until we understand it’s tough,” said Barnes, who has NETWORK continues from PAGE 8 Cactus Yearbook is soliciting nominations for its Outstanding Student and Cactus Goodfellow Awards.

All three of these players have been thrust into their roles sooner than expected, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. They feel they can be just as effective as last year’s team. “We all throw the ball well. I think we can do just as well as [Sam] Stafford or [Taylor] Jungmann would do,” Milner said.

UT has turned its season around with free throws and rebounds. The Longhorns have made 98 of 127 free throws (77.2 percent) and limited opponents to just 63 attempts over the last four games. Texas is also averaging 35 rebounds per game against 29.3 for the competition over that span. UT has won 11 of the last 12 meetings with OSU, including two straight.

I can easily go to basketball and baseball games, it isn’t that big of a deal anymore that I don’t get the network.” Biology junior Helena Wayt says she believes UT students have just accepted that they don’t get the network. “I’m not too concerned that I don’t get the network,” Wayt said. “I’ve lived for years without it and I only really want it during football season.” She said fans have been patient enough and have moved on from LHN. The network broadcasted two Texas football games this season and by the end of the season, will have broadcasted 26 men’s and women’s basketball games. More than 60 baseball and softball games will be on the network. But now that football season is over, fans appear to be losing interest in the highly anticipated network. two. “We all have to take responsibility. The posts need to do a better job of posting up and demanding the ball. The guards need to do a better job getting them the ball. It’s the whole combination.” Although better post play will be necessary for the Longhorns to be competitive on Saturday, Goestenkors knows that if Texas can play smart it’ll give itself a chance to win. “Last time we played them [Kansas State] we had mental breakdowns,” Goestenkors said. “You can’t afford to make mistakes like that. Those turnovers and missed free throws were all mental errors. So we’re going to have to take care of the ball and give ourselves as many opportunities to score as possible. When you’re on the road you have to capitalize on those opportunities.” With only five games left on its schedule, including tough matchups against No. 1 Baylor, No. 14 Texas A&M and Oklahoma, this weekend’s matchup with Kansas State is essentially a must-win for Texas. “We just have to play our game,” said senior guard Ashleigh Fontenette. “We know what we have to do to win.

His smile, bubbly personality and eagerness to excel on a ball- field made him a joy to watch at the plate and behind it. Even his Hall of Fame bronze plaque at Cooperstown shows him with a toothy grin – the Kid forever. The star catcher, whose single for the New York Mets in the 1986 World Series touched off one of the most improbable rallies in baseball, died Thursday. He was 57. Carter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last May, two weeks after finishing his second season as coach at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said Carter died at a hospice in the West Palm Beach, Fla. area. “I am deeply saddened to tell you all that my precious dad went to be with Jesus today at 4:10 p.m.,” Carter’s daughter Kimmy Bloemers wrote on the family website. “This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to write in my entire life but I wanted you all to know.” Carter was an 11-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner. His bottom-of-the-10th single in Game 6 of the 1986 Series helped the Mets mount a charge against the Boston Red Sox and eventually beat them. “Nobody loved the game of baseball more than Gary Carter. Nobody enjoyed playing the game of baseball more than Gary Carter. He wore his heart on his sleeve every inning he played,” Mets Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver said. “His nickname `The Kid’ captured how Gary approached life,” the Mets said Thursday in a statement. “He did everything with enthusiasm and with gusto on and off the field. His smile was infectious. He was a Hall of Famer in everything he did.” WEEKEND previewMEN’S GOLF Coming off a fourth consec- utive event victory two weeks ago in Kohala Coast, Hawaii, the Longhorns men’s golf team will look to make it five wins in a row this week at the Pur- due/Puerto Rico Invite. The three-day event will be held in Rio Mar, Puerto Rico and will kick off on Feb. 19. No. 1 Texas, which has not lost since its first tournament in mid-September, is the favorite of a 15-team field that also in- cludes No. 7 Georgia Tech and No. 8 Alabama. This will mark the sec- ond tournament of the 2012 spring season for the Long- horns. Texas led after ev- ery round in the first tour- nament of the new year, the Amer Ari Invitational, and it will look to build on that success this week. This season the Longhorns have been led by freshman Jordan Spieth, the top-ranked collegiate golfer, but will like- ly be without his skills in this event. Spieth will be taking part in the PGA Tour’s North- ern Trust Open in Pacific Pali- sades, Calif. on Feb. 16-19. Without Spieth, senior Dy- lan Frittelli will likely have to shoulder the load for the Longhorns. Frittelli, the sec- ond-ranked golfer in the NCAA, has finished among the top 10 individual golfers in each of Texas’ five tourna- ments this season. The Longhorns have been the NCAA’s most consistent golf team this season, and they are hopeful to continue their win streak this week in Puerto Rico.

The Buckeyes (8-0) are ranked No. 3 in the coun- try and are also seeded third in the tournament behind No. 1 USC and No. 2 Vir- ginia, who handed Texas its first loss of the season earlier this month. Teams are guaranteed at least three matches, with the losers of the first round’s matches moving to the conso- lation bracket.

The No. 14 ranked Long- horns (6-2) will have their hands full as the Buckeyes are led by four ranked players — No. 12 Blaz Rola, No. 16 Chase Buchanan, No. 99 Ille Van En- gelen and No. 107 Connor Smith. Junior Daniel White- head is the lone ranked player for the Longhorns at No. 69. Whitehead has an 18-7 singles record for the year. The doubles lineup will also be tricky for the Long- horns since the Buckeyes have three different doubles pair- ings that are ranked in the top 30, whereas the Longhorns are not ranked at all. This will be a tough match for the young Longhorn team. Ohio State has been ranked in the top 10 of the Internation- al Tennis Association rank- ings since March 2006, while Texas started the season bare- ly inside the top 20 at No. 19. But the team has worked its way up the rankings all sea- son. The Buckeyes are com- ing off a 7-0 shutout of Mich- igan State in their conference opener earlier this week. The Longhorns are coming off the loss to Texas A&M and a 6-1 victory over Texas A&M-Cor- pus Christi this past weekend. At last year’s championships, No. 4 seed Ohio State eliminat- ed No. 5 seeded Texas in the quarterfinals 4-2. The Long- horns came back and beat the No. 8 seed Illinois 4-3 in the consolation bracket. By Lauren Jette Daily Texan Staff Ohio State poses challenge at National Championships Junior Daniel Whitehead is the lone ranked player for the Longhorns at No. 69. Whitehead has an 18-7 singles record for the year. Shannon Kintner | Daily Texan file photo HOUSINGRENTALFOR SALE800 General Help Wanted790 Part Time370 Unf. Apts.

The key to finding jealousy’s sweet spot is to allow yourself to feel jealous. The more you suppress this natural emotion, the more you’ll resent yourself for feeling it. Additionally, jealousy is something that you should communicate to your partner. While you shouldn’t bring it up all the time, sugarcoat it in a laugh and modestly remind your partner that you only feel jealous because you like them. Lastly, don’t linger on jealousy; feel it, accept it and move on. If you’ve been hit with pangs of jealousy, it’s only because you don’t want to lose what you’ve got. Your time is better spent cherishing time spent with your partner rather than thinking about who could tear the two of you apart. Jealousy doesn’t have to rear its ugly head as long as you maintain a level one. BRUNCH continues from PAGE 14 Another key ingredient to any great brunch lineup is the drink menu stacked with an array of champagne cocktails as well as a Bloody Mary. From Moonshine’s Scarlet Mimosa that replaces typical orange juice with pomegranate juice to Z’Tejas’ simple yet satiating screwdriver, brunch encourages day drinking that society normally deems inappropriate on a weekday. Broyles believes the variety of brunch menus among restaurants fits perfectly into Austin’s eclectic food scene, which brims with more and more self-proclaimed foodies everyday. “We’re pretty fluid in our eating habits,” she said. “We can go from chips and salsa to migas to quiche to mimosas and brioche pretty easily. We’ll take it spicy, boozy, indulgent or wacky, as long as it’s good.” Jealousy stems from many sourc- es: from the quick glimpse of an in- coming caller on your partner’s phone, from someone who got too close for comfort with the one you call yours or from the remaining Facebook photos of your partner’s ex that have yet to be deleted from his or her profile. In “The Science of Relation- ships,” contributing author Robin S. Edelstein says that jealousy “occurs when we feel that an important re- lationship may be threatened.” With the flood of reality television shows in the last decade, like “The Bach- elor,” depicting vicious love trian- gles, jealousy has lost its positive connotations. However, whether es of jealousy are an integral part of a relationship. The green-eyed monster we’ve all been taught to hate isn’t necessarily such a bad guy. We’ve repressed feel- ings of jealousy only because society tends to highlight the extreme cases that consume peoples’ lives but fails to mention the effect jealousy has when it subtly slips in and out of a relationship. There’s a sweet spot on the jealousy spectrum somewhere before the dark side that “Fatal At- traction” showed us. At the most basic level, jealou- sy is flattering. It reminds our part- ners that we have an investment in the relationship, that we’re still in- terested in them — so much that we don’t want them to be with any- one else. It’s a way of telling some- one we like them without actually having to go out on a limb by say- ing it out loud. However, when jealousy becomes er struggle within a relationship, it strays from its original good inten- tions and flirts with crossing the line over to the dark side. Jealousy draws a fine line be- tween losing power and gaining it. When you’re the one feeling jeal- ous, you silently relinquish some of your power in the relationship and give the upper hand to your part- ner. As you sink into a more vul- nerable place, jealousy can weigh your half of the relationship scale down. Though not every person you date will take advantage of you in this state, the relationships in which trust and security fluctuate dangerously may fall victim to jeal- ousy’s ugly wrath. Above all, it’s absolutely imper- ative that we remind ourselves that just as there is no such thing as a love potion, there is no perfect rec- ipe for a jealousy potion. Staging an act to conjure up feelings of jealousy INTERRUPTEDLOVEBy Anjli Mehta Shannon Kintner | Daily texan staff Austin restaurants, like Chez Zee, add unique touches to brunch menus, including anything from prick- ly pear jelly to Chipotle cream gravy to southern style mimosas. MOVIE REVIEW BULLHEAD Bullhead Michael Roskam Genre: Drama Runtime: 124 minutes ‘Bullhead’ intrigues with compelling main lead, plot Masterfully directed story lines provide insight into masculinity, criminality By Alex Williams Daily Texan Staff When “Bullhead” premiered at Fantastic Fest in September, Oscar buzz at the festival revolved around Tilda Swinton in “We Need to Talk About Kevin” and Michael Shannon in “Take Shelter.” Even as those two films receded into the background of the Oscar race, “Bullhead” picked up speed, and Drafthouse Films made a very smart move in picking up the eventual Best Foreign Language Film Oscar nominee after its premiere. The hulking, frightening Matthias Schoenaerts stars as Jacky Vanmarsenille, a cattle farmer tempted with the prospect of making a deal with a notorious beef trader. However, Jacky has a history with Diederik (Jeroen Perceval), who is his connection to the beef trader, and it turns out Diederik isn’t what he seems to be. From the beginning, “Bullhead” throws audiences into a densely plotted, expertly realized criminal underworld and poses questions about its characters, their lives and the morally destitute activities they’ve embroiled themselves in. Watching “Bullhead” slowly and deliberately parcel out the answers to these questions (some more compelling than others) makes for a consistently interesting, if occasionally off-putting, experience. Schoenaerts dominates the film from the start. His Jacky is a terrifying yet sympathetic character. Jacky is a massive barrel of barely contained rage and frustration, and as engaging as the criminal machinations of “Bullhead” are, the film is at its most interesting when Jacky is simply navigating the world around him. These scenes, especially a few moments in which Jacky bonds with a pretty perfume saleswoman (Jeanne Dandoy), delve into the grotesqueries of his past in a few beautifully composed, disturbing sequences. Although writer-director Michael Roskam makes his feature debut with “Bullhead,” the film is structured and directed with masterful grace and restraint. Roskam never lets the film’s many interweaving plot lines overwhelm him. He questions the nature of masculinity, and his characters obsess over the tires on their cars, the quality of their beef and, of course, sex. It’s certainly exciting to see a promising new director enter the film scene, and Roskam is a rising talent to watch, but savvy cinema- goers should also keep their eyes open for Schoenaerts in the future — and not just because he looks so dangerous. “Bullhead” works as a crime drama, a stunted com- ing-of-age story and even a bizarre, dysfunctional romance, but when Schoenaerts’ monstrous Jacky takes center stage, the film operates on a different level altogether. Viewers eager to make their next unexpected discovery should take note, because “Bullhead” is a film that stubbornly sticks in your memory, both for its lush, stark direction and captivating lead performance.

The meal is a true hybrid that blurs the lines between breakfast and lunch with menu staples such as fried chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, and signature cocktails such as mimosas and Bloody Marys. Whoever said you couldn’t have the best of both worlds has obviously never had a drink before noon or a pancake for lunch. Although the exact origins of brunch are still a mystery, many food historians point to writer Guy Beringer, who allegedly first printed the meal portmanteau in Hunter’s Weekly in England in 1865. In Beringer’s article, “Brunch: A Plea,” he suggested England replace its traditional post-church Sunday dinner with “a new meal, served around noon, that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade and other breakfast fixtures before moving along to the heavier fare.” “By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter for Saturday night carousers,” Beringer wrote. “Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.” While we may never know if Beringer got the brunch he always dreamed of in England in 1865, surely a quick glance at a modern-day brunch in Austin would CHIEF CHOICES Shannon Kintner | Daily Texan Staff Mike Boyle, center, and Cassandra Hoffman, right, eat brunch at Chez Zee with Hoffman’s daughter, Madyson, Sunday afternoon.

If the only thing you knew of brunch was its soundtrack, which buzzes with laugh- ter, the clinking of cham- pagne glasses and music, you probably wouldn’t visualize bright sun- shine, much less a fam- ily-filled restaurant. Yet, brunch has taken on a lively social context.

Must Try: Stuffed French Toast, Shrimp Omelet with Andouille Veracruz AUSTIN RESTAURANT BRUNCH FAVORITES group-friendly atmosphere his restaurant draws every weekend. “Brunch is the last weekend dining experience that one can share socially before having to wind up to go back to school or work,” Perdido said. Food writer for the Austin American- Statesman and breakfast lover Addie Broyles adds that weekends are inherently social and perfectly crafted for party- like dining experiences. “Brunch is a way to carry on the fun of the night before into the next day,” she said. Paul Freedman, a professor of history at Yale University, attributes the last century’s decline in church attendance, combined with an increased rate of urbanization, to the popularity of brunch. “For people who work in offices, Saturday tends to be a day of errands and Sunday for relaxation,” Freedman said. Chef Matt Janiec, who has worked at the Z’Tejas restaurant for 12 years, has noticed a trend among brunch customers who linger and order the extra cocktail they might not have allowed themselves on a weeknight. “It’s a slower paced meal because for lunch and dinner everyone is in a rush to go somewhere,” he said. “For brunch, it’s a time to sit with friends and family and just be.” Different restaurants in Austin have catered to the growing brunch scene in town while adhering to their restaurant’s particular food genre. Janiec and his team at Z’Tejas infuse typical brunch staples with their signature southwestern spin by taking a brunch basic like French toast and resting it on an unexpected bed of prickly pear syrup. Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill transports customers to a simpler time, with turn-ofthe- century style buttermilk biscuits with chipotle cream gravy and a classically southern mint julep cocktail. Spokesperson for Chez Zee, Sharon Watkins, said eggs are a key ingredient on a brunch menu. “We poach eggs, fry them, make omelets and Mexican preparations as well as plain scrambled,” she said of the 500 to 800 plates Chez Zee typically serves during brunch.

But she has not allowed her work or academic schedules to interfere with her first marathon, that she plans to run on Sunday and has been training for since Nov. 10. “I’m getting more and more nervous, but excited too,” Baize said. “On my run today, I was running fast because of all of the adrenaline and anticipation [for the marathon].” The LIVESTRONG Austin Marathon and Half Marathon will take place on Sunday. The race will begin for all marathon, half-marathon and 5K runners at the north end of the Capitol near the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum with the finish line on the south side of the Capitol, according to race director John Conley. This year Conley anticipates 19,000 runners, with the majority being half-marathon runners.
