GUILLERMO HERNANDEZ MARTINEZ / Daily Texan StaffUniversity of Texas students James Scott Tucker, Sunny Das and Zachary Cook founded Texas Custom Apparel, a com- pany that makes custom T-shirts for student organizations. UT student company provides cheap T-shirtsA group of UT students have started a T-Shirt company they claim can provide apparel to student organizations faster and cheaper than most companies. Finance senior Sunny Das is CEO of Texas Custom Ap- parel, which he co-founded with two other UT students. Das said he and his classmates can provide cheaper shirts because they only collaborate with companies in the U.S., most of them in Austin and Texas. The students run their business from the Incubator, a space for student start-ups on the seventh floor of the UT Administration Building. bit.ly/utshirtsComic-Con reveals future filmsAside from the much heard about “Man of Steel”/“Batman” collaboration and Tom Hiddleston presenting foot- age from “Thor: The Dark World” in full Loki garb, find out what other ma- jor news broke at San Diego Comic-Con International in our breakdown of the multi-genre, four-day conference.

Texas had a team GPA above 3.0 for the 2012-2013 academic school year. Senior guard Andrew Dick was also named to the NABC Honors court having met the necessary criteria for a second school year in a row and maintaining a GPA above a 3.2. For breaking and updated content check out dailytexanonline.com For nearly two years, the stu- dents of UT have been waiting to see how the UT System Board of Regents’ $10 million investment in the course-scheduling and now job-matching service MyEdu.com will benefit them. At the meeting of the regents on July 10, students finally got their answer — well, an answer. After surveying “over 3,000 students” and meeting “directly and indirectly” with more than 5,000, the team at MyEdu says it now has the answer to the question of what, exactly, the company can provide. MyEdu’s new services will, ac- cording to company CEO Michael Crosno, help students succeed in college, tell their story and get a job. How? The answer is simple: visual tiles. Never mind the question of why MyEdu needed to survey more than 3,000 students to figure out that students would like to both succeed in college and get a job. The new MyEdu looks like nothing so much as a more visually appealing version of the professional website Linke- dIn — and the new “skills listing” service MyEdu provides, which company Vice President Deepak Surana called the “most unique part of our student profile,” looks uniquely similar to the “skills & ex- pertise” feature available for free on LinkedIn. Of course, the UT Sys- tem never invested millions of dol- lars in LinkedIn, so unsurprisingly, the regents kept quiet about any similarities they may have noticed between the two sites. In its presentation, MyEdu men- tioned partnerships with big-ticket employers like General Motors and Macy’s department store, but when you visit the MyEdu website as a student, these “big-ticket partner- ships” look more like sponsored web ads inviting you to follow Macy’s on Twitter — no doubt an important step in your job search. At this point, the money invest- ed in MyEdu is gone, and the UT System pointing out the absence of truly impactful features on MyE- du’s website would more likely re- sult in tense board meetings than actual progress. But that doesn’t mean students can’t put pressure on those in power by pointing out the obvious: MyE- du has yet to earn its investment. Students deserve better for $10 million than a colorful version of LinkedIn — visual tiles or not. Go back to the drawing board, MyEdu, and try again. Recently, Longhorn Startup Company M87 received a $500,000 seed investment from the UT Sys- tem’s Horizon Fund to help com- mercialize the technology it has developed, a software solution that allows telecommunications com- panies to improve cellular cover- age and capacity without mak- ing multi-million dollar changes or modifications to their existing infrastructure. Sriram Vishwanath, an electri- cal and computer engineering pro- fessor, and his graduate students Vidur Bharava and Jubin Jose de- veloped this technology, which they then licensed through the UT-Austin Office of Technology Commercialization. The Office of Technology Com- mercialization (OTC) manages the transfer of UT’s intellectual prop- erty to outside entities. The OTC also houses UT’s Ho- rizon Fund, an investment fund that attempts to help commercialize technology developed by UT re- searchers, including the technology used by M87, while providing the University with a positive return on investment. The fund has $22.5 mil- lion of capital under management that can be used to invest in any startup company with licensed UT intellectual property. These compa- nies can be managed by students, staff, faculty or non-UT-affiliated entrepreneurs, as long as they prop- erly license the intellectual property with the OTC. This type of investment fund is innovative in itself, in that it aban- dons the traditional, conservative notion that government invest- ment in startups is too risky. Usu- ally, this kind of investing is left to the venture capitalists whose main job is risking large amounts of capital on new companies that they believe have the potential to provide returns five to 10 times the initial investment. But as the fund aims to prove, it makes little sense to fund a research project up until the results are ready to be extracted from the univer- sity environment and applied in real markets. Universities receive significant royalty payments from the intel- lectual property they license to out- side entities. In 2010, the UT Sys- tem raised $2.34 billion in research funding but only generated $42 million in royalty payments. The Horizon Fund is meant to provide the final leg of funding to get the technologies out of the lab and into the real world. Often, the invest- ments made by the Horizon Fund are bridge investments that enable startups to progress far enough to secure larger rounds of funds from off-campus investors like venture capitalists. Within the UT System, there is a significant need to accelerate the commercialization of technolo- gies we invent. The Horizon Fund, if administered properly, will do just this. Bryan Allinson, executive direc- tor of the Horizon Fund, says the nine investments the fund has al- ready made are growing at the ex- pected pace. His long-term vision for the fund is that it will be “a sus- tainable enterprise for commercial- izing technology out of UT System institutions.” If the Horizon Fund concept is proven sustainable, we will need to create more funds like it, possibly one at each individual UT System institution, seeded by surplus cash generated by the Horizon Fund. This would only further encourage an entrepreneurial culture, creating opportunities for students to man- age the innovation process. Investing financial capital in startups involves risk, but I believe risk is necessary for entrepreneur- ship to be a sustainable, growing enterprise on campus. And should the fund fail to provide bottom-line financial returns, it still encour- ages entrepreneurship across the UT System, and entrepreneurship in itself is inherently virtuous and valuable.

Texas has done so since 2001, but adding Michigan to the list of states (now 17 in total) that fol- low this policy will allow us to more accurately under- stand how offering undocumented students in-state tuition affects not just students’ ability to achieve their dreams but also state economies. HORNS DOWN: Despite rumors to the contrary, there is no reason to believe that Gov. Rick Perry is about to put much-needed tuition revenue bonds for cam- pus construction projects on the special session call — at least not until transportation legislation is passed. Campuses across the state clearly need the funds — so why is the governor shutting students out in the cold? HORNS UP: On Saturday, the City Relations Agency of Student Government held a block walk to raise aware- ness of affordable housing. In a town as politically ac- tive as Austin, city politics are often inexplicably ig- nored, to the detriment of the many students who call Austin home. We support the agency’s effort to focus its attentions on this important issue.

Under the law, individuals or organizations engag- ing in hazing could be subject to fines and charged with a criminal offense. According to the law, a person can commit a hazing offense not only by engaging in a hazing activity, but also by soliciting, directing, encouraging, aiding or attempting to aid another in hazing; by intentionally, knowingly or recklessly allowing hazing to occur; or by failing to report, in writing to the Dean of Students or another appropri- ate official of the institution, first-hand knowledge that a hazing incident is planned or has occurred. The fact that a person consented to or acquiesced in a hazing activity is not a defense to prosecution for hazing under this law. In an effort to encourage reporting of hazing incidents, the law grants immunity from civil or criminal liability to any person who reports a specific hazing event in good faith and without malice to the Dean of Students or other appropriate official of the institution and immunizes that person from participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a result of the report. Additionally, a doctor or other medical practitioner who treats a student who may have been subjected to hazing may make a good faith report of the suspected hazing activities to police or other law enforcement officials and is immune from civil or other liability that might otherwise be imposed or incurred as a result of the report. The penalty for failure to report is a fine of up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both. Penalties for other hazing offenses vary according to the se- verity of the injury which results and include fines from $500 to $10,000 and/or confinement for up to two years. HAzing DefineDThe law defines hazing as any intentional, knowing or reckless act, occurring on or off the campus of an educational institution, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student, that endan- gers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, affiliating with, holding office in or maintaining membership in any organization whose members are or include students at an educational institution. Hazing includes but is not limited to: A. any type of physical brutality, such as whipping, beating, striking, branding, electric shocking, placing of a harmful substance on the body or similar activity; B. any type of physical activity, such as sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, confinement in a small space, calisthenics, or other activity that subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or that adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student; C. any activity involving consumption of food, liquid, alcoholic beverage, liquor, drug or other substance which subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or which adversely affects the mental or physical health of the student; D. any activity that intimidates or threatens the student with ostracism, that subjects the student to extreme mental stress, shame or humiliation, that adversely affects the mental health or dignity of the student or discourages the student from entering or remaining registered in an educational institution, or that may reasonably be expected to cause a student to leave the organization or the institution rather than submit to acts described in this subsection; E. any activity that induces, causes or requires the student to perform a duty or task which involves a violation of the Penal Code.

Arnold Newman, Portrait of Don DeLillo, 1997 © Arnold Newman Properties/Getty Images66NEWSMONDAY, JULY 22, 2013UT broke ground on a new food garden this month that will bring more homegrown food to campus plates this fall, an increasingly common practice at Texas institutions looking for sustainable prac- tices during the state’s three- year drought. Spanning several hun- dred feet along Bracken- ridge Hall on 21st Street, the Jester South Garden will produce fruits and vegeta- bles to be served at UT resi- dence halls. The garden will be self-sustaining, support- ed by rainwater collection and a water pump powered by solar energy. Officials are currently preparing land to plant food in the garden, which could be completed as early as September. UT officials said although growing their own food comes with cost and weather challenges, the new garden will support various food programs on campus and re- duce the University’s depen- dence on outside providers, which are often plagued by high demand. The new garden would help the University reach its goal of providing as much local and homegrown food as it can on campus, offi- cials said. “Organic produce re- quires a lot more patience, research and understanding of the nature of soil, but we are better off understand- ing the place we grow and using methods that reduce our footprint and are natu- ral to that environment,” said Hunter Mangrum, an environmental specialist for the Division of Housing and Food Services. Only 5 percent of com- mercial institutions na- tionwide produce their own food, and UT is one of them, Mangrum said. Along with the Jester South Garden, UT also runs the Kinsolving Courtyard Gar- den on Whitis Avenue and the Concho Community Gardens in East Campus. The University makes a concentrated effort to obtain any food it does not grow itself from local farms in Central Texas, officials said, which is not always easy be- cause of drought conditions and demand. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted this month that it expects drought conditions in Texas to continue through October. Officials say sustain- able gardens help reduce DHFS’s dependence on the Sustainable Food Center of Austin, their main supplier of local produce. During the 2012-2013 ac- ademic year, DFHS obtained 23 percent of its $8 million food budget from local foods grown at farms smaller than 200 acres within a 150-mile radius of UT. Mangrum said the Jester South Garden will grow a variety of produce. Sum- mer and spring will yield potatoes and squashes while winter will bring fruits and vegetables. A team of undergraduate and graduate students will be trained in the fall on how to maintain the garden, Man- grum said. The new garden will also increase support for other food programs on campus, including Farm to Work, which allows faculty and staff to have produce deliv- ered to their workplace ev- ery week. The program has already become very popular, said Claire Moore, a manager in Human Resource Services. Moore said the Jester South Garden would increase the amount of produce avail- able to University employees through the program. CAMPUSNew garden takes root at JesterBy Rabeea Tahir@trabeeatahir2ERIKA RICHDaily Texan StaffRobert Mayberry, executive chef for UT’s Division of Housing and Food Services, cares for a plot at the Concho Com- munity Garden that produces a small amount of food used at UT. DHFS is currently building a new garden at Jester Dormitory that will be powered by rainwater col- lection and solar energy and will grow fruits and vegetables for the dining halls. FOOD page 7RECYCLEAFTER READING YOUR COPY. “The employees are really enjoying it, the farmers had a good turnout and they’re happy with the amount of boxes that have been ordered,” Moore said. “We’ve had great reviews and there have been a lot of repeat customers.” Robert Mayberry, an ex- ecutive chef and food service manager, will lead the choice of what crops to plant and harvest in the garden. Mayberry said there would be many challenges ahead for the garden, including the higher costs of small-scale farming and susceptibility to local weather conditions. However, Mayberry said the garden is still a step up from mass agribusiness that brings in low-cost foods at the risk of heavy chemical practices and practices that damage soil in the long-term. “Low-cost and abundant food can be looked at as a loan,” Mayberry said. “Some- one down the line will have to pay the bill, and it will come due.” 7NEWSMONDAY, JULY 22, 20137Under a new formula for the state’s B-On-Time Loan program, UT-Austin is es- timated to receive $5.4 mil- lion from the state next year to help needy students — an almost $2 million increase from 2013 — while other UT System schools are set to see their funding decline. For almost a decade, the B-On-Time Loan program has provided financial relief to students, but the schools participating in the program have not had an equal share of its funds. Every year, 5 percent of a Texas student’s tuition is set aside for the program. Stu- dents who apply for the pro- gram are granted a no-interest loan that is forgiven if the student graduates within four years with at least a 3.0 GPA. According to the Legis- lative Budget Board, UT- Austin put up $31.4 million for the program but only re- ceived $27 million from 2007 to 2012. During that same time period, smaller schools, such as The University of Texas-Pan American in Ed- inburg, put up $5.4 million but received $7.3 million. For the 2013-2014 school year, 715 UT-Austin students requested the loan but the school only had enough mon- ey to award 460, UT officials said. UT-Austin students bor- row an average of $7,400 per year under the program. The Texas Legislature changed the B-On-Time distribution this session and now requires universities to receive an amount pro- portional to what they have put into the program, and restricts the program to two and four-year universities. Up until now, universities such as UT have essentially been donating money to other schools, said state Rep. Helen Giddings, D-Desoto, who advocated strongly for the program’s reform. The Texas Higher Educa- tion Coordinating Board, which oversees the program, will begin using this formula beginning in the 2014-2015 school year. Board officials repeatedly stated the current funding estimates are still preliminary. Legislators also approved rules allowing UT to control the amount provided by a loan. Previously, B-On-Time loans had to amount to the average amount of state tu- ition, fees, books and class supplies per student, said Thomas Melecki, director of UT’s Office of Student Finan- cial Services. Melecki said these new rules will allow UT to provide more loans to students and bring significant benefits to students in the B-On-Time program if they fulfill gradu- ation and GPA requirements. “And even if student bor- rowers do not qualify for loan forgiveness of their B-On- Time loans, the loans have a 0 percent interest rate, so the stu- dents repay only the amount they borrowed,” Melecki said. However, the new funding for- mula is also decreasing B-On-Time funds for other smaller UT System schools. The University of Texas at Brownsville, which received $289,000 for the 2013-2014 school year, is estimated to receive $160,000 next year. Also, The University of Texas of the Permian Basin could see its funds decrease from $236,050 to $182,600, according to the Higher Ed- ucation Board. It is not clear whether this could create a crunch at these institutions, where tuition is less expensive than at Austin. At some institutions, such as The University of Texas at San Antonio, loans are under-utilized because stu- dents do not request loans. Federal law also prevents institutions from recommending loans not provided by the U.S. government. At UT-San Antonio, about $100,000 for the pro- gram went unused in 2011, according to Lisa Blazer, as- sociate vice president for UT- San Antonio’s Financial Aid and Enrollment Services. “We’re not allowed to ad- vertise these funds due to restrictions on alternative lending,” Blazer said. “They have to request it from us. That will explain why a small amount will not be spent.” Statewide, about 36 per- cent of B-On-Time Loan funds went unused in 2011, according to the Higher Education Board. Gid- dings said there are many issues with the program that have yet to be resolved. For instance, Gid- dings said $100 million col- lected for the program has gone untouched. With the challenges faced by today’s students, Gid- dings said it is important for the Texas Legislature to responsibly work to make college education affordable and to continue resolving problems to ensure students graduate within four years. “That’s a meaningful goal, and a goal we all ought to be focused on trying to achieve,” Giddings said.

Brewer is the most recent athlete to transfer unconditionally from Texas. Football transfers have made headlines due to ambigious restrictions placed on student athletes. Earlier this month, redshirt freshman Connor Brewer an- nounced that he would seek a transfer from the Longhorn football program after only one season at Texas. Brewer is following in the steps of former Texas quarterbacks Connor Wood and Garrett Gilbert, both of whom trans- ferred to other programs with eligibility remaining. “I want to thank everyone at The University of Texas — the coaching staff, the fans and especially my teammates for a great experience here in Austin over the last 18 months,” Brewer said. “I do, however, feel that it is in my best interest as a football play- er to pursue other options to continue my college career.” The Texas football pro- gram has had its fair share of transfers, but recently with increasing restrictions by high-profile universities across the country, the rules regard- ing transfers have been thrust into the spotlight. While Tex- as has an open policy for its transferring athletes, impos- ing no additional restrictions beyond the minimum by the NCAA and Big 12, such is not the case for many other foot- ball programs. In May, Oklahoma State sophomore Wes Lunt elect- ed to transfer but was stuck with stringent stipulations on where he could play next, which brought scru- tiny to what restrictions head coaches could place on trans- ferring athletes in addition to the restrictions placed by the NCAA and Big 12. According to the NCAA, students are allowed to trans- fer to any school of their choice but must be released by their current institution from any scholarships. For football and both men’s and women’s basketball, an athlete must sit out for one year be- fore being allowed to compete at a new institution. In the Big 12, an athlete can choose to attend another conference school, but he would lose an additional year of eligibility for those same sports. There is no rule, however, against the initial institution placing limitations on which universities are eligible for an athlete to transfer to as part of the student’s initial letter of intent, with the team gen- erally blocking in-conference opponents and schools that will show up on the schedule during the player’s career. Lunt’s case made na- tional headlines after Okla- homa State head coach Mike Gundy significantly limited Lunt’s transfer op- tions. Gundy barred Lunt from transferring to schools in the SEC and Pac-12 TRANSFER page 12By Brittany Lamas & Sara Beth Purdy@texansports 12conference, Southern Mississippi, where former Cowboy offensive coordinator Todd Monken was named head coach, as well as all in-conference teams and teams that Oklahoma State has currently scheduled, a staggering 37 in all. If a player wants to leave for anoth- er school but is not granted a release from his letter of intent contract with the original university, the athlete forfeits the opportunity to play for scholarship money while still sitting out the next season. However, as in the case of Gilbert, if a student gradu- ates from his original university, he is not bound by transfer restrictions if he is seeking a new degree. In another case this past April, Pittsburgh placed restrictions on running back Rushel Shell who wants to transfer to Arizona State, a team that is in a different con- ference and is not on Pittsburgh’s future football schedule. Arizona State’s head coach is Todd Graham, a former coach at Pittsburgh. Texas has had a record of issuing unconditional releases to athletes who elect to transfer, under what- ever circumstances, for other op- portunities. Texas head coach Mack Brown has even said he is willing to aid transferring athletes in their search for a new program. Even after former Big 12 rival Texas A&M left the conference, Texas did not place restrictions in regards to the Aggies. “If a guy comes in and talks to us about, whether it’s being unhappy, needing more playing time, want- ing to get closer to home, whatever, it really doesn’t matter,” Brown said. Brewer is the third Texas quarter- back in three years to choose, and be awarded, an unconditional re- lease from his scholarship in search of new opportunities. It has been suggested that Brewer’s decision to transfer stems from his position on the depth chart. Over the year, Brewer has fallen behind junior starter David Ash, senior backup Case McCoy and true freshman standout Tyrone Swoopes on pro- jected depth charts for the upcom- ing football season. “I mean, if they’re not happy here, we want to help them, and we’ve never had a conditional release for anybody,” Brown said. “If we release them, we try to help them. So we’ll call the places they want to go.” Brewer has not named what school he will be transferring to, but indicat- ed that Alabama, Notre Dame, Stan- ford, UCLA, Louisville, Tennessee and Arizona have expressed interest. “Coach Brown was great,” Brew- er told ESPN. “He understood the situation and basically said, ‘You’re free to go where you want.’” Wood, who was a redshirt fresh- man when he elected to transfer to the University of Colorado, was tied for third on the depth chart with Ash behind Gilbert and McCoy in 2011. Similarly, Gilbert was allowed an unconditional release to attend SMU after starting the 2012 sea- son and suffering a season-ending shoulder surgery. The rules that govern student- athletes are ambiguous and a stu- dent cannot do much to change an institution’s ruling on transfer, Austin sports lawyer Pete Reid said. After a student asks for permis- sion to contact other schools, the school has seven days to respond. After that, the student can request a hearing to appeal that must be held within 14 days, but the rules don’t provide for more specific parts of the process. “The rules allow for the schools to do whatever they want,” Reid said. “It doesn’t say what grounds the school has to have to deny the student, doesn’t even say specific parts of the hearing. There are no standards.” The ambiguity of the rules makes it more difficult for student-athletes to do anything to fight against a university if they want to transfer. “It’s just not practical for a student to bring a lawsuit against a school,” Reid said. “No one wants to cause trouble against the school. No one wants to be the one who leaves because the coach doesn’t like them and students respect what the schools tell them.” As for Texas’ history of uncondi- tional releases, Reid said he thinks it is a good thing. “Usually there’s a reason that a student needs to transfer,” Reid said. “I think what Texas does is a very good thing, even when offer- ing to help the students.” Many opponents of the current transfer situation claim that the universities and NCAA are treat- ing student-athletes less like the students and teenagers that they are and more like their professional counterparts. A student who seeks a transfer after more than one year at his original institution is putting his playing career in jeopardy thanks to heightened transfer restrictions. Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops told ESPN that he supported Gundy’s decision to restrict Lunt’s transfer options, stating that he doesn’t believe it is right for a student to be able to do whatever he wants after already committing to play for a university. Other proponents of transfer restrictions say it is needed to help teach athletes to stay the course, mature and work harder to get better. There is also worry that a transferring player could take school playbooks to a rival university. According to the NCAA website, in 2012 NCAA President Mark Em- mert convened a task force to work on transfer rules with university presidents and NCAA members, reviewing every rule to establish a way of enforcement. New bylaws were expected to be presented to the Division 1 Board of Directors in late 2012 or early 2013, but have not been announced. 12SPORTSMONDAY, JULY 22, 2013GARRETT GILBERT / Transferred to SMU from TexasFormer quarterback Garrett Gilbert transferred to Southern Methodist University after three years at Texas.

The National Security Agency spies on our Internet and cell phone usage, effec- tively turning law-abiding United States citizens into suspected criminals. So what’s a person to en- sure that their communica- tions remain private? The word is encryption: using some sort of code to at- tempt to make your message indecipherable to all but the intended recipient. If Alice wants to send a letter to Bob but doesn’t want Chuck to read it, she might use one let- ter to represent another (“A” turns to “Z,” “B” to “W,” etc.) and give Bob the code ahead of time. There are problems with this technique. Unless the message is very short, Chuck can look for patterns, such as assuming the most common- ly used letter represents an “E,” to figure out the cipher. As anyone who’s ever solved a cryptogram can attest, this is not only doable, it’s also kind of fun. So Alice needs to devise a method that’s even more clever. How about a machine that changes the code for every letter used? In other words, the first time the let- ter “A” is represented by a “Q,” but then, two characters over, it’s represented by a “T.” The German army used such a machine called Enig- ma during World War II. The device was made up of sever- al rotors, which would rotate according to a four-character code entered by the user. The encoded messages it created and deciphered were very difficult for the Allied forces to crack. But they did. The code it- self wasn’t weak — in fact, there were over a billion different codes that users could choose from — but the method of transmit- ting it was. Once the Allies built their own machine — which was no easy task since the Germans didn’t exactly make the schematics public — they could easily receive the four-character codes via radio and decode the transmitted messages. The weakness in the Enigma machine was the desire to make the code por- table and send messages over long distances. If Alice and Bob meet in secret to ex- change their code, this isn’t an issue. However, that’s not always possible. So how do you send some- body a locked message with- out also sending them a key? One solution is if Alice, sufficiently clever, sends the message to Bob in a box with a lock on it. Bob doesn’t have the key, but he has his own lock, which he puts on the box so that it is now doubly locked, and sends it back to Alice. Alice then removes her lock so that Bob’s is the only one remaining and sends it back to him. It works, but it’s also slow and convoluted, offer- ing three times the chance of the message being lost or damaged. And that leads us to RSA encryption. This is an asym- metric cipher where encod- ing differs from the decod- ing. The two keys are separate — one can’t figure out how to interpret a message from the code used to encrypt it. Bob can post his “public key” all over the world because it can’t be used to decode Al- ice’s message. In order to de- code, one would need access to Bob’s “private key,” which he keeps to himself. Of course, there are always subtle tricks to crack codes and no matter how clever Bob or Alice is, there’s always the possibility that some- one else is even more clever. Short of living in a cave in the middle of nowhere, far re- moved from human contact, processed food and Internet access, there’s not much you can do to keep your pri- vacy completely protected. However, unless you’re in charge of a major mili- tary operation or working in organized crime, your life probably isn’t interest- ing enough for hackers or the government to want to infiltrate it. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be careful, though. It’s a bit like the case of run- ning from the bear: You don’t need to outrun the bear, just the other person you’re with.

(“pioneers of sampling”). Eighteen-year-old rapper Jon Walter, also known as Jon Waltz, has already been com- pared to Drake and Kend- rick Lamar — quite possibly proof of a new generation of hip-hop artists. “It’s cool because to me [Kendrick Lamar and Drake] are like two of the best to ever do it,” Waltz said. “It’s crazy to me.” The Memphis native has been spending his sum- mer in studios, working on new songs and experi- menting with the genre. He started rapping two and a half years ago at age 15, when someone outside of his main friend group approached him. “He was like, ‘Yo, you should get on this song with me,’ and that’s just kind of how it started out,” Waltz said. Although his SoundCloud account has a modest 433 followers, his song “Bang (Left My Home)” has more than 16,000 plays. The no- table feature of the song is that the hook is not only radio-friendly, but can stay in your head for hours. Song structure and chorus writ- ing is the biggest loss when it comes to the underground hip-hop game, but Waltz has nearly mastered the art already. “I want to make some- thing catchy enough to stay in your head, with like meaning to it,” Waltz said. “But I also want to spit crazy ass verses.” It is common to see pro- ducer-rapper teams, such as Killer Mike and El-P who re- leased R.A.P. Music and Run The Jewels, have almost a best friend relationship with both working on bettering the other. On his freshman EP Airways Blvd., Waltz teamed up with producer Cypress Austin, known as Zayd, for five of the six tracks, includ- ing “Bang.” The production is sample-based, mellow and hi-hat heavy. “Well, Jon is like blood to me; I’m probably with him more than I’m with anybody else,” Zayd said. “So naturally working with him is very easy, everything comes very fluid. We’re both on the same page almost all the time and we’re constantly working, so just I’m excited to see what comes next.” Currently, Waltz is work- ing on a new label with rap- per Skizzy Mars called Pent- house. They are keeping the project under wraps — in fact, Google yields almost no results until you add “Skizzy Mars” into your search. “It’s still in the works,” Waltz said. “I’m the first art- ist on it minus Skizzy Mars. I want to keep it as minimal as possible — I’m in the process of removing all the photos of me on the Internet.” Both Waltz and Mars are hesitant to reveal very much information about the label, however, they are clear about one thing: It will be big. “[Penthouse is] every- thing. Youth, culture, vi- brance, the future,” Mars said. “[You] definitely will be hearing a lot more about it soon.” In the meantime, Waltz does not plan for music to be his only accomplishment. He will be a freshman in college this upcoming year at the University of Missouri, and has plans to complete college before thinking about going full time as an artist. 15LIFE&ARTSMONDAY, JULY 22, 201315MUSICGetting creative and making your own useful tools for organization and decorations can be a frightening process for some, but never fear! With these easy steps and a few supplies, you can make your own stunning creations in no time. This week’s DIY project ideas are a beautiful blooming monogram and fun picture frames. You can add your own personal touch and bring some life into your home by making your own blooming monogram. DO IT YOURSELFBy Jay Egger@JayEggrSimple creations enliven under-utilized wall space1.Carefully remove the top layer of your cardboard letters. 2.Measure and cut your flower foam to fit inside your cardboard letters. When you are happy with how it fits, glue the foam into place. 3.Cut your flowers down to size, leaving a short stem, and arrange them in the foam. Then you’re done! Another way to bring a pop of color into a room is by framing patterned cloth. Here’s what you’ll need: •Picture frame(s) of any size•Patterned cloth•Scissors•Stapler or masking tape1. Remove the back of your picture frame. 2.Place the cardboard from the inside of the frame onto the non-patterned side of the cloth. 3.Leave about 1 inch of cloth around the edge of your cardboard and cut to size. 4.Staple or tape the cloth to the cardboard. 5.Place your newly designed masterpiece into the frame and replace the backing.

You can’t ever be complete- ly safe, but these tools should prevent you from losing too much sleep over privacy concerns. Some of these precautions may be unnec- essary and even a slight in- convenience, but in a time when cameras follow us ev- erywhere and identity theft is easier than ever, a little para- noia is probably justified as well as healthy.
